At that time we asked for everything that we wanted, cried as we were uncomfortable, laughed as we were happy and released our emotions day and night. When we grow up we find that if we want to live in a cozier environment we must be sensible enough to deal with our emotions and relationships. Our world is based on sense and beautified by emotion.Sense is the base of life; it builds up the structure of life, and helps us see the real world. And emotion is the invaluable element of life. It adds colorful paint to our life. Lacking sense we may lose the guiding light and lacking emotion we may lose the value of life.We admire Da Vincis Mona Lisa, we are attracted by Michelangelos The Creation of Man, and we are carried away by Monets Lotus. Shakespeares Romeo and Juliet may bring us tears, Victor Hugos poems can make a maids love revive, and Jane Austins stories arouse our dream of holding a party of ladies and gentlemen as an England beauty in the countryside. All of them are people who deserve our respect and showed us sentimental emotion: love, hatred, betrayal, loyalty and so on. They made their works full of emotion, shocked our nerves, and evoked our passions. Somebody may have found their destiny in these works, and surely they influence people time after time. But in fact, though these people or their works have the power to control our mental world, we dont choose them to be our President or Prime Minister. We cannot deny the fact that our world is based on sense and ration. Mark Twin once said that the passion of friendship is so sweet, steady and royal and enduring a nature that it will last through a whole lifetime if neither of the two friends asks the other to lend money.Emotion is our nature and sense gives us an eye to live in reality. Only sense makes Jack a dull boy; emotional moments give us vigor and enthusiasm to live and color our life.5. We can learn from the second paragraph that_.A. sense is no more important than emotionB. sense is as important as emotion to human lifeC. sense deserves less concern than emotionD. sense gives people more pleasure than emotion6. Whats the main idea of the third paragraph?a) Artists are good at containing emotion in their works.b) Works full of emotion show people the value of life.c) There is a variety of emotions in this world.d) Life cant be enjoyable without emotion.7. Whats the best title for the passage?a) Sense and emotion make people wiserb) Sense and emotion help you live in peacec) Sense and emotionthe bases of our lifed) Sense and emotionthe reason for happiness第二节（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。选项中有两项为多于选项。 What will you do if you cant eat everything bought in the canteen? _8_ According to a survey, what students waste every year could feed over 10 million people. _9_ According to Xinhua News Agency, the food wasted by Chinese people is about 50 million tons of grain every year, which could feed 200 million people.Food waste, which has become a global issue, serves as a mirror that reflects various cultural and social issues in different countries.
