does the mailman go there?” i asked. “no, but i have an idea.” mom drove to a party store and returned with a red balloon. i asked her what it was for. “just wait, honey. youll see.” mom told me to write my letter. eagerly, i got my favorite pen, and poured out my six-year-old heart in the form of blue ink. i wrote about my day, what i learned at school, how mom was doing, and even about what happened in a story i had read. for a few minutes it was as if dad were still alive. i gave the letter to mom. she read it over, and a smile crossed her face. she made a hole in the corner of the letter where she looped (缠绕) the balloon string. we went outside and she gave me the balloon. it was still raining. “okay, on the count of three, let go. one, two, three.” the balloon, carrying my letter, darted upward against the rain. we watched until it was swallowed by the mass of clouds. later i realized, like the balloon, that dad had never let his sickness get him down. he was strong. no matter what he suffered, hed persevere, dart up, and finally transcend this cold world and his sick body. he rose into sky and became something beautiful. i watched until the balloon disappeared into the gray and white and i prayed that his strength was hereditary. i prayed to be a balloon. 24. when the girl was told that she could send a letter to her father, she _. a. jumped with surprise b.was worried that it couldnt be deliveredc. didnt know how to write d. became excited 25. in the eyes of the author, what was the rain like?

one reason is that eating these types of food reduces the risk of acid accumulation in your body. raw and whole foods are usually digested more efficiently than cooked and refined foods. when we cook foods, we destroy the natural enzymes(酶)that are part of the food in its raw form. these enzymes were intended by nature to help us digest the food. when we consume food without these natural enzymes, our bodies either digest the food improperly or allow too many nutrients to be absorbed into the bloodstream. in both instances, the result is obesity. when too many nutrients are absorbed at once, the body grows fat. improperly digested food moves slowly through the digestive tract, where it becomes increasingly acidic (酸性的). to protect its vital organs from this acidic waste, the body changes the acid into fat and stores it safely away from the organs. processed foods contain chemical elements, which might confuse the appetite mechanism that tells us when weve had enough to eat; as a result, people often overeat . processed foods also upset the digestive cycle. the body will either identify these foods as allergens and then store them safely away from the organs as fat, or the remains of undigested food will become acidic and enter the bloodstream as acid waste, which will stick to the blood vessel walls and block the passage of vital oxygen and nutrients heading for the bodys cells. the bodys metabolism(新陈代谢) becomes inactive, and then result is weight gain and obesity. the accumulation of acid in the digestive tract makes digestion increasingly inefficient. when that happens, even healthy foods can become acidic and the food allergies will become more common. to stop this vicious(恶性的) circle in its tracks, people need to consume food and supplements that will neutralize （使中和）the acid already accumulated in body. eating the right types of raw and whole foods can help. its also important to restore your enzyme balance. you need to identify and avoid the foods that cause acid accumulation and consume the foods that increase enzyme production. if you truly want to change and help your body heal itself, you need to take an active approach.27. what is the main purpose of this passage? a.to tell the differences between raw and processed foods.b. to advocate eating more raw and whole foods.c. to inform people of the harm of processed foods.d. to warn people of the problem of obesity. 28. it can be inferred from para. 2 that .a. it is essential for people to protect their vital organsb.giving up cooked and refined foods is a new lifestylec. wed better be cautious about raw and whole foodsd. foods with natural enzymes help people keep fit29. processed foods are unhealthy because they . a. destroy bodys cells b. may lead to obesityc.are difficult to digest d. stop bodys metabolism30. what is likely to be talked about following the last paragraph? a. suitable types of raw and whole foods.b. different causes of acid accumulation.c. correct ways to cook raw foods.d. active approaches to avoid acid.31. what can we learn from the text? a. processed foods are good for our appetite mechanism.b.the accumulation of acid in the digestive tract makes digestion more effective.c. eating the right types of raw and whole foods does good to our body. d. processed foods also comfort the digestive tract.dthe power of humor and laughter is numerous. they entertain us and make us feel good. but, above all, we have discovered that humor and laughter are the best medicine. they relieve pain, reduce stress and anxiety, and are anti-aging and longevity facilitators. they are extremely necessary for helping us to find and maintain a balance between life and work. however, they are slipping away from us. we have become far too serious. the only ones who still enjoy humor, laughter, fun and play to the fullest are young children. children tend to laugh an average of 200 times a day. for adults, however, it is a totally different story. in the 1950s people laughed on average 18 times a day. today, we are lucky if we average between 4-6 times a day. as a matter of fact, a recent study found that people laugh 6 more times in the presence of one person but 30 more times in a group of people. you can get a chuckle(咯咯笑) from jokes you get on the internet, but it is not the same as belly jiggling laughter (a deep laugh) you get when you interact with others. socializing with friends and relatives was much looked forward to. however, this is no longer the case. in fact, the majority of people can hardly find time, nor do they have the inclination towards socializing outside home. they turn to electronic media such as television, computers, the internet, videos, cds, and audio equipment, which can provide them with instant self-entertainment at the push of a button. the workplace does not fare(进展) much better. due to the pressures to produce more in the same or fewer hours available and to compete, for example, in a manufacturing field with cheaper labor elsewhere in the world, humor and laughter in the workplace have gradually eroded（逐渐毁坏） away. i have developed a real appreciation, perhaps closer to a strong desire for the power of humor and laughter. this encouraged me to write my first book titled “the power of humor” and subsequently my second book titled “kids say the goggonest things” based on the natural humor, laughter, play and fun that kids experience and they freely share with parents, grandparents and teachers. from writing about humor and laughter, people start to ask me to speak up for them. to date, i have developed a number of humor-laughter topics that i use in my keynote presentations. you are invited to subscribe to my free monthly e-magazine “the humormeisters forum” by clicking on the free humor e-zine navigation button on the website. 32. according to the author, laughter is leaving us partly because _. a. we fail to maintain balance between life and workb. the pace of change in our lives is becoming fasterc.we have more pain, stress and anxiety nowd. we adults treat everything in a serious way 33. the fourth paragraph mainly tells us that _. a.getting a deep laugh nowadays is difficultb. people laugh more heartily when spending time with others c. we can entertain ourselves with the help of the internetd. researchers have made a new discovery about the effect of laughter 34. the underlined word “inclination” in paragraph 5 most probably means “_”. a. destination b. approach c. attitude d. tendency 35. which of the following articles can we most probably find in “the humormeisters forum”? a. the power of honesty.b. dont be your own worst enemy.c. funny christmas stories to share with your loved ones.d.live life purposefully: the relationship within.第二节:七选五 （共5小题；每小题2分, 共10分）how to treat a victim of an electric shock electric shock accidents are caused by an electric current from a mechanical source passing through the body. the effects from a shock can be anything from pain to instant death. 36 steps:1.do not put yourself in danger. if the victim is still in contact with the electric current, you must be careful to avoid being shocked yourself. 37 2.break the current. before you can do anything else, you must get the victim free from the current. there are two ways to do this: 38 turn off the current at the circuit breaker or fuse（保险丝）box. this is the preferred action. if no shut-off is immediately available, use a non-conducting item to move the victim, such as a wooden stick, blanket, or rope. if they are holding onto a wire or other conductor, attempt to knock their hand (s) free with a stick or dry towel. 3. 39 make certain to report that the victim is suffering from an electric shock; tell the operator to request that any responding police have an aed（automatic external defibrilator 自动体外除颤器）available. also tell the operator if you have not been able to remove or disable the source of electricity.4.if the victim is unconscious, check to see if they are breathing and have a pulse. electric shocks may knock the person unconscious and stop the heart. 5. 40 other injuries may have occurred that you are unaware of due to the movement.6.cover the victim in a blanket and stay with them until help arrives. do not leave them alone. take steps to prevent or lessen the degree of hurt from the shock. a. wait for help to arrive. b. call for emergency assistance. c. shut off the current at the poser box. d. you cannot help if you become a victim, too. e. knowing what to do in case of an electric shock could save a life.f. do not attempt to move the victim unless they are in further danger. g. in the process of treating the victim, one will need to obtain water or ice for cooling purposes. 第三部分:英语知识运用（共三节；满分45分）第一节:完型填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分, 满分30分）阅读下面短文, 掌握其大意, 然后从4160各题所给的四个选项（a、b、c和d）中, 选出最佳选项, 并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。i wrote my first poem at the age of seven and showed it to my mother.she read and cried, “buddy, you really wrote a beautiful poem!” shyly but 41 , i said yes. she poured out her 42 . “it was nothing short of talent!” “what time will father be home?” i asked. i could hardly wait to 43 my work to him.i spent quite some time 44 for his arrival. i wrote the poem out in my finest handwriting, drew a fancy border around it and 45 i placed it right on my fathers plate on the dining table. my father had begun his motion-picture career as a writer. i was sure he would be able to 46 my poem. at almost 7 oclock my father burst in. he seemed 47 .
