However, there are places in the rocks of the earths crust where it isnt strongly held together where “faults” exist. Along the faults, one rock might push against another with great force. The energy is changed tovibrationin the rocks, so they begin to shake and we have an earthquake!The most famous one in North America was the San Francisco earthquake of 1906. Seven hundred people died and property (财产) damage amounted to about $425,000,000. The greatest destruction came from the fires that followed the quake.One of the most famous earthquakes in Europe took place in Lisbon, Portugal, in 1755. The city was destroyed and at least thirty thousand people were killed. In 1908, in Calabria and Sicily, a quake killed about 75,000 people. In 1915, in central Italy, hundreds of towns and villages were damaged and thirty thousand people were killed.Two great earthquakes that caused great damage in Asia took place in Tokyo, Japan, and in Gansu Province in China. The Tokyo quake of 1923 killed more than one hundred thousand people and destroyed the city and the city of Yokohama, too. The Chinese quake in 1920 covered more than three hundred square miles and killed about two hundred thousand people.5 The first paragraph mainly tells us _.A. the damage caused by earthquakesB. famous earthquakes in the worldC. where earthquakes happenD. how earthquakes happen6. The underlined word “vibration” in the first paragraph probably means “_”.A.losing B. force C. energy D. shaking7. Which of the following is the correct order of the years when the earthquakes happened?the San Francisco earthquakethe earthquake in Lisbon,Portugalthe earthquake in Calabria and Sicilythe earthquake in central Italythe earthquake in Gansu Provincethe Tokyo quakeA. B. C. D. 8.We can infer from the passage that.Athe earths crust in Europe is weaker than that in other placesBthe city of Yokohama was not greatly influenced by the Tokyo quake Cthere were 75,000 people killed in the San Francisco earthquakeDthe fires following the San Francisco earthquake caused more damage than the earthquake didCFeel tired lately? Has a doctor said he cant find anything wrong with you? Perhaps he sent you to a hospital, but all the advanced equipment there shows that there is nothing wrong with youThen, consider this: you might be in a state of sub-health(亚健康)Sub-health, also called the third state or gray state, is explained as a borderline（界限）state between health and diseaseAccording to the investigation by the National Health Organization, over 45 percent of sub-healthy people are middle-aged or elderlyThe percentage is even higher among people who work in management positions as well as students around exam-week.Symptoms include a lack of energy, depression, slow reactions, insomnia, angry, and poor memoryOther symptoms include shortness of breath, sweating and aching in the waist and legsThe key to preventing and recovering from sub-health, according to some medical experts, is to form good living habits,alternatework and rest, exercise regularly, and take part in open air activitiesAs for meals, people are advised to eat less salt and sugarThey should also eat more fresh vegetables, fruits, fish because they are rich in nutritional elements-vitamins and other elements that are important to the bodyNutrition experts point out that it is not good to eat too much at one meal because it may cause unhealthy changes in the digestive tract(消化系统). They also say that a balanced diet is very helpful in avoiding sub-health9According to this passage, which of the following is right? AWhen you are in a state of sub-health, you should stay home and keep silent BWhen you are in a state of sub-health, you should find out the reasons and relax yourself CWhen you are in a state of sub-health, you should have yourself examined in foreign countries DWhen you are in a state of sub-health, you should go to see a doctor and buy some medicine.10The key to preventing you from falling into a state of sub-health is that you should _ Awork hard Bsleep more Ctake more medicine Dform good living habits 11The underlined word “alternate” in this passage is closest in meaning to. Acause to take place Barrange by turns Ckeep up Dtake upDMany people were never taught how to express their emotions. Because they do not know how to express them, they wind up repressing their emotions instead. For people who have experienced painful life situations, they can wind up engaging in unhealthy behaviors to avoid expressing their emotions, such as performing self-injuries or developing eating disorders. Expressing emotions is the best way to release the pent up feelings. Here is how to express emotions.Recognize the importance of expressing emotions. Unexpressed emotions affect your life. For example, many people who struggle with ongoing depression or anxiety are often actually angry. Because the unexpressed anger has nowhere to go, the person experiences the emotion as depression or anxiety. If you want to take control over your emotional life, you need to first recognize that it is important to express your emotions. Label your emotions appropriately. Many people who have never learned how to express their emotions have a difficult time even labeling what those emotions are. Some people might feel anger when the emotion that they are actually dealing with is pain. Others might cry and feel sad in situations in which anger is really the more appropriate emotion. Practice labeling the emotion that you are actually having. Express your anger physically. Anger can be a daunting emotion for many people to express. Anger is best expressed physically, especially if you have a lot of repressed anger to process. Choose a physical activity that will not harm another person or yourself. Some good ways to express anger include punching pillows, hitting the ground with a baseball bat, popping balloons, taking a kickboxing class or going for a brisk walk. Cry out your pain. Tears really do heal a wounded spirit. However, many people have a hard time expressing their sorrow. Try watching a sad movie and allowing yourself to cry for the characters. Set aside time to let yourself wallow for a little while. You will feel much better after a good cry. Laugh without reservation. A good laugh can be incredibly healing. Do not stifle your joy. Instead, express your joy by giving in to an urge to laugh. A good belly laugh can do wonders for a persons emotional state.12. The first paragraph serves as _ A. a comment B. a background C. an argument D. a definition13. The third paragraph is mainly about _A. the result of expressing emotions B. the way to express strong emotionsC. the need to tell emotions apart D. the effect of hiding your emotions 14. The fourth paragraph develops mainly by _A. making comparisons B. giving some examples C. telling an interesting story D. making a list of facts15. The underlined word “wallow” may mean _.A. cry B. rest C. sleep D think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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 As a teen, youre going through big changes physically and mentally. Your interests are expanding. 16 Here is the challenge: Kids need to explore the world in new ways, and parents need to protect them from the dangers that are out in that world. These conflicts can easily set off fireworks in otherwise calm houses. Sometimes conflicts cant be avoided. But by paying attention to the building blocks of successful relationships, you can work towards making home a happy and healthy place for you and your parents.For instance, try to find a time to talk when your parents are not angry, tired, distracted, or hungry. A good time to talk is when youre all relaxed . Timing is everything. If the conversation begins to turn into an argument, youd better calmly and coolly ask to stop the conversation for now. 17 Listen to what your parents are saying, and repeat it back to them. This shows them that youre listening. 18 Respect is the building block of good communication. People who respect each other and care about each others feelings can disagree without things getting ugly.19 How do you build trust? Trust comes by actually doing what you say youre going to do. Some teens find that doing fun activities with their parents can improve their relationships. Sometimes we forget that parents are more than rule-makers-theyre interesting people who like to watch movies, and go shopping -just like their teenagers!What do you do if you are trying your best, but your relationship with your parents continues to be rocky(冷酷的)? 20 You can find supportive adults, such as a teacher or a coach, who canlend an ear.Remember you can only change your own behavior; your parents are the only ones who can change theirs.A. You can pick it up again when everyones more relaxed.B. It also gives them a chance to clear things up if youre not on the same page.C. And then youll be able to accept what your parents say.D.
