opportunity to observe a new generation of athletes with disabilities who were skateboarding and rock climbing.these young people really showed the promise of how rewarding physical activities are！we disabled canand should beas active as anyone else.when we get and stay active，we will feel better，be able to do more，have healthier bodies，and look better.it is a fact that exercise actually produces energy and builds on itself.the more we exercise，the fitter our bodies are，and thus the more energy we have to enjoy recreation and the pleasure of life.not everyone is cut out to be a competitive athlete，but there are things that we can do to strengthen our physical wellbeing.experts recommend that spending as little as 30 minutes each day on physical activities provide benefits including lower risk of heart disease，cancer，high blood pressure，diabetes (糖尿病) and other serious diseases.taking steps to become physically fit does not have to mean acquiring expensive training equipment or a gym membership.exercise can include simple walking and running，gardening，cleaning the house，swimming，tennis，bicycling (stationary or on the road) and so on.the key is to do it on a regular basis.healthy lifestyles also require good nutritional habits.when choosing foods，nutritionists advise whole grains，flesh fruits and vegetables，fish，and lean (瘦的) cuts of poultry and meat.the benefits of drinking eight full glasses of water a day are also documented.water provides the means for nutrients to travel to all our organs，improves skin tone (柔韧)，regulates body temperature and contributes to muscle strength and control，which is confirmed by scientists.fitness results in completing the tasks of daily living，working a full day，and still having energy to participate in recreational activities.by being fit，youll find that you enjoy recreational activities even more because you wont be tired or suffer from gore muscles.it is time，folks，to get moving.so lets all get out there and do some exercise!26whats the authors purpose of writing the passage?ahe wants to ask people to respect the disabled.bhe intends to call on people to do some exercise.che wants people to know the importance of exercise for the disabled.dhe wants to explain what healthy lifestyles are.27what does the underlined word “documented” mean in paragraph 3?awritten. bencouraged.coverlooked. dproven.28according to the passage，physical activities bring benefits to humans except_.alower risk of heart diseasebbetter muscle controlcless chance of getting diabetesdless chance of having high blood pressure29the author is most probably a(n)_adisabled man bdoctorccoach dathlete30what do we learn from the passage?awater can provide nutrients for us to improve skin tone.bextreme sports have little to do with normal people.cone can enjoy recreation and the pleasure of life by doing extreme games.dwe can have more energy to do things in our everyday life if we strengthen our physical wellbeing.bnot all think laughter is the best medicine，but it seems to help.so scientists carried on a new study of diabetes (糖尿病) patients who were given a good dose of humor for a year to prove it.researchers divided 20 highrisk diabetic patients into two groups.both groups were given standard diabetes medicine.group l viewed 30 minutes of humor of their choice，while group c，the control group，did not.this went on for a year of treatments.by two months into the study，the patients in the laughter group had lower level of the hormones epinephrine (肾上腺素)，considered to cause stress，which is known to be deadly.after the 12 months，hdl_cholesterol rises 26 percent in group l but only 3 percent in group cin another measure，creactive proteins，a maker of heart disease，drop 66 percent in the laughter group but only 26 percent in the control group.“the best doctors believe that there is a physical good brought about by the positive emotion，happy laughter，”said study leader lee berk of loma linda university.and other research has found that humor makes us more hopeful.still，more study is needed，berk said.the research by berk found that humor can bring about similar changes in body chemistry，which was proved in the new study.the research result will be presented this month at the meeting in the us.research at the university of maryland school of medicine shows that laughter causes the inner lining of blood vessels to expand，increasing blood flow in a way thought to be healthy.“lifestyle choices have an important effect on health and these are choices which we and patients should pay attention to，rather than prevention and treatment，”berk said in a statement this week.31why did the scientists carry on the new research?ato find out if laughter was good to health.bto discover the best medicine to cure diabetes.cbecause the number of diabetic patients is the largest in the world.dbecause diabetic patients need more laughter than other patients.32.after 12 months into the study，_.acreactive proteins increase 66 percent in group cbthe level of the hormones epinephrine stays the same in both groupscthe level of the hormones epinephrine has droppeddcreactive proteins reduced 66 percent in group l33.the underlined part “hdl cholesterol” in paragraph 3 must be _.asomething bad to our healthbsomething good to our healthca kind of wonderful medicineda kind of dangerous disease34. in what way does laughter benefit peoples health?ablood is made thick by laughter.blaughter makes blood vessels thin.claughter increases blood pressure.dlaughter makes blood flow fast.35according to berk，we should _.achoose lifestyles carefullybchange our lifestylescprevent our lifestyles in advancedpay less attention to the positive emotioncthroughout the history of the arts，the nature of creativity has remained constant to artists.no matter what objects they select，artists are to bring forth new forces and forms that cause changeto find poetry where no one has ever seen or experienced it before.landscape (风景) is another unchanging element of art.it can be found from ancient times through the 17thcentury dutch painters to the 19thcentury romanticists and impressionists.in the 1970s alfred leslie，one of the new american realists，continued this practice.leslie sought out the same place where thomas cole，a romanticist，had produced paintings of the same scene a century and a half before.unlike cole who insists on a feeling of loneliness and the idea of finding peace in nature，leslie paints what he actually sees.in his paintings，there is no particular change in emotions and he includes ordinary things like the highway in the background.he also takes advantage of the latest developments of colour photography (摄影术) to help both the eyes and the memory when he improves his painting back in his workroom.besides，all art begs the ageold question：what is real？each generation of artists has shown their understanding of reality in one form or another.the impressionists saw reality in brief emotional effects，the realists in everyday subjects and in forest scenes，and the cromagnon cave people in their naturalistic drawings of the animals in the ancient forests.to sum up，understanding reality is a necessary struggle for artists of all periods.over thousands of years，the function of the arts has remained relatively constant.past or present，eastern or western，the arts are a basic part of our immediate experience.many and different are the faces of art，and together they express the basic need and hope of human beings.36the underlined word “poetry” most probably means_.aan object for artistic creationba collection of poemscan unusual qualityda natural scene37leslies paintings are extraordinary because_.athey are close in style to works in ancient timesbthey look like works by 19thcentury painterscthey draw attention to common things in lifedthey depend heavily on colour photography38what is the authors opinion of artistic reality?ait will not be found in future works of art.bit does not have a longlasting standard.cit is expressed in a fixed artistic form.dit is lacking in modern works of art.39what does the author suggest about the arts in the last paragraph?athey express peoples curiosity about the past.bthey make people interested in everyday experience.cthey are considered important for variety in form.dthey are regarded as a mirror of the human situation.40which of the following is the main topic of the passage?ahistory of the arts.bbasic questions of the arts.cnew developments in the arts.duse of modern technology in the arts.dmost children usually talk in class when they are bored or frustrated because a concept is too difficult.schools have to recognize the need for children to talk.the educators in my school district recognize the need for children to talk.our curricula embrace (contain) “active” participation.this means that during a lesson the students are expected to talk and interact in order to have the learning become a part of them.the children are expected to talk about what they are reading in their anthologies (选集)，to answer questions together.there are certain times when children need to meditate and digest what theyve learned without talking.at these times，the children begin to think about social activities.children dont have much opportunity to write，and many educators believe that children dont have the ability to express themselves when writing.the students in my class are allowed to converse but only in writing.if they are having a problem with a classmate，they write the problem out and give it to me.we then set up a conference and talk about the problem.we figure out ways that the problem can be solved.the writing is twofold(双重的)it helps the child calm down and not be reactive and teaches children the way to use words to express themselves.talking is important，but just as important is knowing the appropriate times to talk.we do encourage our children to talk when they are small and they are used to expressing themselves.my theory，as i tell my students，is that he or she who talks the most，will probably grow up to be a teacher.they，then，will be able to talk all the time and not get in trouble.41the educators in the authors school district recognize the need for children to talk by _.atalking more with students in classesbtheir curriculacgetting students to answer all the questions togetherdstudents reading alone42.the underlined word “meditate” in paragraph 3 probably means _.amemorize clearly blisten carefullycwrite quickly dthink deeply43whats the authors opinion about writing in classes?awriting is a kind of conversation.bwriting wastes too much class time.cwriting can also keep students active.dwriting is very harmful to students talking in class.44from the passage we can infer _.amost children want to talk in classbstudents who talk the most will become teacherscsome educators think writing cant express themselves clearlydencouraging students to express themselves by talking at every time is beneficial45whats the best title of the passage?atalking is importantbtalking and writingcunderstanding why children talk in classdchildren talking in classright or wrong?第二节信息匹配(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。首先请阅读下列有关颜色偏好和性格关系的应用文：agoldaccording to the true colors system people who choose gold as their primary color like to fit in or belong.they tend
