the latest research makes it known that the reason could be that mens hearts go into rapid decline when they reach middle age. the largest study of the effects of aging on the heart has found that womens longevity may be linked to the fact that their hearts do not lose their pumping power with age.“we have found that the power of the male heart falls by 20-25 percent between 18 and 70 years of age,” said the head of the study, david goldspink of liverpool john moores university in the uk.“within the heart there are millions of cells that enable it to beat. between the age of 20 and 70, one-third of those cells die and are not replaced in men,” said goldspink. “this is part of the aging process.”what surprises scientists is that the female heart sees very little loss of these cells. a healthy 70-year-old womans heart could perform almost as well as a 20-year-old ones.“this gender(性别) difference might just explain why women live longer than men,” said goldspink. they studied more than 250 healthy men and women between the ages of 18 and 80, focusing on healthy persons to remove the confusing influence of disease. “the team has yet to find why aging takes a greater loss on the male heart,” said goldspink.the good news is that men can improve the health of their heart with regular exercise. goldspink stressed that women also need regular exercise to prevent their leg muscles becoming smaller and weaker as they age.21. the underlined word “longevity” in the second paragraph probably refers to “_”.a. health b. long life c. ageing d. effect22. the text mainly talks about _.a. mens heart cells b. womens aging process、c. the gender difference d. hearts and long life23. according to the text, the uk scientists have known that _.a. women have more cells than men when they are bornb. women can replace the cells that enable the heart to beatc. the female heart loses few of the cells with aged. women never lose their pumping power with age24. if you want to live longer, you should _.a. enable your heart to beat much faster b. find out the reason for agingc. exercise regularly to keep your heart healthy d. prevent your cells from being lostbword powerauthor(s): kaplan $13.95youll never be at a loss for words again. enlarge your vocabulary with must-know everyday words that are the essentials of a good vocabulary, engaging lessons to help you use words in text, hot words often found on tests, tips to help you figure out new words, roots, and more.grades: 8 & up ages: 13 & upword smart juniorauthor(s): russell stauffer $ 17.95now this is the way to add new words to your vocabulary! word smart junior will make you laugh so much. youll be amazed that youve just learned more than 120 fascinating and very useful words! parents, teachers, and friends will be amazed at your eloquence (口才)!grades: 3-5 ages: 8-10grammar smart juniorauthor(s): marcia reynolds $ 16.85do you shake when your teacher says, “now its time for grammar”?

it is an agreed fact that all the creatures want happiness and are afraid of pain and sadness. the question, however, is “what is real happiness?” what really is called happiness? the desire for happiness has no meaning without understanding the real nature of happiness.some thinkers say, “happiness does not lie in objections of enjoyment; happiness or unhappiness lies in imagination.” to prove their belief, they give examples like the following one: a man has a two-storey house; on the right is a five-storey building and on the left a cottage. when he sees right, he feels unhappy and when he sees left he feels happy. as such happiness does not lie in possession of sensory objects, but in imagination. they advise people to look towards those who have fewer possessions and be happy. if you look towards people having more wealth, you will always be unhappy.it is unreasonable to hold this point of view. it is unkind to regard one happy by imagining that one is better than the poor and the unhappy. “if you want to be happy, look towards the poor.” we know that those poor people cannot satisfy even their basic needs. this attitude satisfies the sense of pride of possession, but this can never be called happiness. unless we really find where happiness lies, we cannot really be happy. some ask people to do this and do that and say, “this way your desire will be satisfied. you would get the desired objects and become happy.” people holding these views regard happiness as satisfaction of desires. but it is not possible to satisfy ones desires because there are countless desires of countless people and the material things are limited. then new desires arise as soon as the previous ones are satisfied. therefore, desires, which are changing all the time, can never be satisfied. happiness is a characteristic of a good life, that is, a life in which a person fulfills human nature in an excellent way. people have a set of purposes which are typically human: these belong to our nature. happiness is also a condition that must be prepared for, cultivated, and defended privately by each person. people who learn to control inner experience will be able to determine the quality of their lives and come to being happy. happiness lies in the distribution of easiness among others. happiness stands for forgiveness and justice. happiness is the name of struggle and courage. happiness may be founded in seeking of true knowledge and rule of wisdom. happiness may be shared in service and duty. this life is combination of joys and sorrows, and honest efforts should be done to make this life journey full of happiness, love, peace and harmony.32. what is the purpose of the text? a. to show how to achieve happiness.b. to encourage people to achieve happiness.c. to argue how to understand happiness.d. to explain the features of happiness.33. according to the text, people who think happiness lies in imagination will try to achieve happiness by _.a. looking towards people having more wealthb. looking towards those with fewer possessions c. imagining how rich you will be in the future d. imagining that you have a five-storey building34. the author doesnt think that happiness lies in satisfaction of desires because _.a. ever-changing desires can never be satisfied b. no desires of a person can be satisfied at allc. there isnt enough money to meet peoples needs d. the desires of a person are limited35. in the authors opinion, happiness _.a. can be achieved easily by earning money b. must belong to those with rich knowledgec. can be gained by controlling inner experience d. can be gained by setting small goals（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。learning english online is an effective way to improve your english. but with any type of learning you need to be prepared. this passage will give you advice on how to get the most out of your online lessons._36_this is an obvious point but also the most important one. a computer, a good internet connection and a headset are what you will need to take classes online. a web camera is also pretty important. make sure that your computer is turned on, that everything is plugged in correctly and that you have tested the connection. doing this before the class means that you will be ready when the lesson starts.take the classes somewhere quiet._37_ trying to listen and participate in english classes is very difficult when there is noise around you. so find a quiet room and make sure that no one disturbs you while you are taking your lesson._38_when grammar or anything else is being taught, make sure that you understand it. you wont need to practice it at this time; just make sure that everything is clear. if you dont understand what is being taught, ask your teacher to explain it again. your teacher will be very happy to deal with whatever puzzles you.practice speaking english.every class is an opportunity to practice your english with a native and qualified teacher. try to allow the conversation to flow by listening and talking in a natural way. _39_ the teacher should note the mistakes and correct them at a later time.relax.come to class feeling relaxed and excited. _40_ come into the class excited about learning english. you will be able to get more out of the class this way.a. review after the class.b. make sure everything is ready.c. understand what is being taught.d. get away from everything that may be going on in your home.e. language learning should be enjoyable especially in online classes.f. you will meet many problems when you are learning english online.g. this is your chance to speak english without worrying about too many mistakes.第三部分：英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节：完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（a、b、c和d）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。lilly was a french canadian girl who grew up in the farming community( 社区). when she was 16, her father _41_ her to drop out of school to contribute to the family income. with english as her second language and _42_ education, the _43_ didnt look bright for lilly.lillys father was a stubborn(固执) man who _44_ took “no” for an answer. he_45_ lilly to find a job. with small hope of getting _46_， each day she would just ride to the city, walk _47_ about and at dusk return home.on one of her _48_，lilly saw a sign at a big company. _49_，she knocked on her very first door. in her _50_ english, lilly told the office m
