more？heres how：1get to bed and go to sleep.your performance，attention，and the ability to concentrate are damaged by lack of sleep.teenagers need nine to ten hours of sleep a night for best performance.2feed your head.the brain runs badly if it doesnt get enough fuel.that means protein(蛋白质)and complex carbs (复合碳水化合物)eggs and wheat bread for breakfast，say，rather than sugary cereal(含糖的麦片粥)and orange juice.the biggest mistake teens make is not to have breakfast or to go for sugar，which raises blood sugar levels.3body exercise is brain exercise.body exercise really improves brain performance，perhaps because it increases blood flow，or perhaps because it reduces stress and anxiety(焦虑).twenty minutes of activity a day that raises your heart rate will do great good.4learn now what you want to remember for the rest of your life.teenage brains are much better at remembering things than the brains of young children or adults.scientists arent sure why.whatever the reason，the teenage years are the time to learn new languages and master other lifelong skills.5learn the power of risk taking.adults are always worried about the downside of teenage risktaking，and its true that teenagers are more likely than adults to get themselves in trouble by drinking and driving.but the fact that the parts of the brain that drive people to try new，risky，and exciting things appear to be more developed in teenagers can be a huge advantage.pick certain challengesdifficult sports，a hard job，mastering a performance art，traveling overseasand the teenage brain is able to deal with them.they have this power theyre given to go out and do it without fear.6learn what you love.because emotional(情感的)systems develop fast in teenager brains，teenagers learn things theyre interested in quickly and well.their brains give them tools like attention on the project.56according to the passage，teenagers should havefor breakfast.a wheat bread and eggs bsugar and orange juicecsugar and bread dwheat bread and orange juice57body exercise plays a part in all the following except.amaking people less anxious braising heart ratec reducing blood pressure dreducing stress58the underlined word “downside” in the passage probably means.aexcitement bdisadvantagecbenefit dpower59it can be learned from the passage that.a teenagers learn quickly when they are fond of somethingbteenagers should be forbidden to drivecscientists know why teenagers have a good memorydteenagers need less sleep than adults bit has always been said that women are not good drivers, because they simply dont have very good driving ability. on the other hand, most car accidents happen to men; very few happen to women.from this, we can see that women are much more careful while driving. another very interesting fact that we should point out is that in the past, women preferred to let their husbands be the only driver in the family rather than have a driving license. somehow they were prevented from making this step in their lives, but nowadays there are many women that want to pass their driving tests from an early age.however, we have to admit that men are more skillful drivers than women, but this does not mean that a woman cannot become a good driver by accumulating(积累) experience. so more and more teenagers and women around the age of thirty now want to pass their driving tests. while taking their driving lessons, they also have a number of special lessons with their parents or somebody in the family that has a driving license, this is just to improve their driving abilities and help them to pass the tests more easily.to conclude, we can say that women are not such bad drivers. they just need more experience than men in order to be able to drive well. and on the other hand, there are a number of women that show better driving skills than the men around them.60. compared with the past, nowadays many women _.a. have more accidents while driving b. prefer to have a driving license c. are somehow prevented from drivingd. are the only driver in the family61. what can we infer from the passage?a. teenage girls cannot take driving tests.b. men didnt allow women to drive in the past.c. women can easily pass their tests by taking driving lessons.d. with enough experience, women can become good drivers.62. the passage mainly talks about _.a. why men are better drivers than women b. men and their driving abilityc. women and their driving ability d. why more women like to have a driving license cmicrosoft founder bill gates said that he planned to give away almost all of his fortune(财富)，largely to the cause of global health，during the course of his lifetime.with an estimated(估计)worth of more than $40 billion，according to forbes，the project will be no small fate(功绩) for gates.having already provided the bill & melinda gates foundation with $24 billion to address global health issues，gates said that finally his entire fortune will be put towards the cause except “a few percent left for the kids”.so what has made the richest man in the world to channel his resources so heavily into one interest？gates believes that “the equality of opportunity（机会）”in which americans take such pride needs to extend to other nations around the world. improving the health of the populations，he says，has proven to be an essential method in helping poor countries to be financially successful.“national borders allow inequalities，”said gates.“we all need to take a more global view，rather than just saying my country is doing well.we have to step up these health issues，knowing how few resources are going into them.”gates said that both his parents set up an example for him as a child.his father，william hgates，was the head of the local planned parenthood，and his mother，mary，volunteered for the united way.as he gathered his fortune，gates knew he would finally want to give back as well，but he didnt expect to devote himself wholeheartedly to one project until he was about 60.however，gates,47，began to question his ability to wait that long.“it seemed there was a real time urgency，”gates said.“i started to think how many lives i could save before then.”63bill gates will give away his vast fortune to.aimprove the health of population all over the worldbimprove the health of population in america alonecavoid leaving his children too much moneydspare the american government the burden of health care64bill gates believes that one important way of developing poor countries is.ato set up more foundations for thembto help them with natural resourcescto put more efforts into the health issues in themdto help them take a more global view65it can be learned from the passage that bill gates thinks.aamericans can be worldfamous by giving away vast fortunebamericans should treat fellow citizens wellcamericans should devote themselves to certain projectsdamericans should care about people in other countries第二节：任务型阅读：阅读下面的短文并从方框中的 a-f

something from newspapers, english magazines, and books. take a passage and read it aloud. after you think your accent has improved, try reciting a poem in front of the mirror. this will increase your confidence as well.67. talk to your family members and friends in english. you can also organize debates and speeches on a low level, where everyone in your family or friend circle speaks on one topic for a few minutes. it will help you get over the fear of making mistakes, as you will be with your friends and familyyour comfort zone.68. listen to people who you think are good english speakers. it

ambiguous(含糊不清的) language with tough words, go for simple words. learning any new language is difficult and english is no exception. start simple and go with the flow. with time, you would learn bigger words too.第二部分 i. 单词拼写（每小题1分，共5分，形式错不给分）。1.as everybody knows, a big e_ happened in yushu, china, on april,14.2. this is one of the most important _ (大事)in the history of mankind.3. it was a
