London and Paris It takes you about two hours to travel from London to Paris by Eurostar, a high-speed railway service. The two capital cities have been competing in fashion, art and nightlife for decadesbut each secretly looks up to the other.

While in London, you can try some afternoon tea, eat fish and chips or salted cake. Vienna and Bratislava Austrian capital Vienna and Slovakia city Bratislava are an hour apart by train. But since they are connected by the Danube River, the best way to travel is by ship. A tour of the two cities is the perfect way to experience everything from 17th centurys Habsburg dynasty splendor to sci-fi restaurants. Vienna is famous for Mozart and imperial(皇家的) palaces. Youcan enjoy the perfect blending of architecture(建筑) and nature in the grand Scholoss Schonbrunn Palace, and reward yourself with a cup of Vienna coffee, which has made its way to the worlds cultural heritage(文化遗产) list.

In 1935, when Koen was only 17, she set a national record in the 800-metre race. This talented girl then took part in the 1936 Berlin Olympics. Unluckily, the two following Olympics were cancelled because of World War , but she continued to train and compete. It was during this time that Koen married her coach, Jan Blankers, and had her first child.No one expected this new mother to get back into sports, but she did. Not long after the birth of her first child, Koen returned to the track(跑道) and set six world records. Then, only six weeks after giving birth to her second child, Koen won two gold medals at the 1946 European Championships.Koen was an athlete, but she was also a wife and mother of the time. She kept the house clean, did the cooking and took care of her children. She did all of this while training. Her husband supported her. Many people, however, felt that a married mother should not compete in sports. When Koen decided to leave her children behind and go to London to compete in the 1948 Olympics, many people even in her own country were angry.Koen went anyway. The mother of two became the first woman to win four gold medals in one Olympic Games. She won in every event she was allowed to enter. When Koen returned home with her medals, she was given a heros welcome. People called her “the Flying Housewife”.31. Which is the right order of the following events?Koen married Jan Blankers.Koen set a national record.Koen took part in her first Olympics.Koen set six world records.A. B. C. D. 32. According to the last paragraph, at the 1948 Olympics Koen .A. competed in four eventsB. received a heros welcomeC. was the only mother athleteD. won the first gold of the games33. What does the writer want to tell us through Koens story?A. Practice makes perfect.B. Interest is the best teacher.C. Where theres a will, theres a way.D. Actions speak louder than words.DYou laugh when you are happy about something or with someone. If you are one of those who hardly laugh, you are missing out on a lot. In fact, you are not doing your health any good. Scientists have proved that laughter is the “best” medicine to all kind of diseases.Scientific fact has shown that laughter helps people breathe easier and it is good for the heart and other vital organs(生命器官).It may also increase the release of disease-fighting cells in the immune system(免疫系统). Like exercise, laughter makes the pulse(脉搏) fast and causes the cardiovascular(心血管的)system function well. In experiments, students who watched funny movies were found to have an increased flow of infection-fighting proteins(对抗感染蛋白质) in their saliva(唾液).A positive attitude also guards against illness and may even enable you to live longer. Optimistic World War II soldiers followed for 35 years after the war ended developed fewer health problems and lived longer than the pessimistic ones. Scientists now connect pessimism not only with depression(抑郁症) but consider it a dangerous factor for diseases when stressed and take longer to be well again after an operation.Children are naturally cheerful, and scientists guess that their emotional happiness may be part of our species(物种) survival mechanism, that optimism helps protect the young from diseases until they can reach puberty(青春期). Optimism may have helped keep the species in prehistoric times. Although realism saved cave men and women from being eaten by tigers, without an optimistic sense of adventure, they would never be brave to leave the cave in the first place.34. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to this passage?A. Laughter does good to the heart and other vital organs.B. Being unhappy about everything is likely to be a dangerous factor for diseases.C. All the World War II soldiers developed fewer health problems.D. Optimism helps protect the young from diseases.35. Children have emotional happiness because _.A. it may be part of our species survival mechanismB. it can help to reach pubertyC. it can help to preserve the species in prehistoric timesD. it may help to save cave men and women from being eaten by wild animals36. The underlined word pessimistic in the last but one paragraph means _.A. expecting good things to happenB. being likely to think of bad part of a situationC. falling ill more often than othersD. facing severe pressure from wars37. Whats the best title for this passage?A. Laugh every day if possible.B. A positive opinion.C. Secrets of long life.D. Laughter and optimism leads to health.第卷 主观题（40分）四、词汇运用（本大题共8小题，每小题1分，共8分）（A）根据句意和汉语注释，在答卷标有题号的横线上，写出单词的正确形式。1. July 2nd of this year is my grandfathers (九十) birthday.2.

Other keyboards include QWERTY(in Central Europe) and AZERTY(used by most French speakers in Europe). Languages with non-Roman alphabets(字母系统), for example, Arabic, Russian or Japanese, have their
