Sub health is marked by general weakness, low energy levels and a poor immune system.A survey held in 16 cities with over 1 million population showed high proportions of urban Chinese have been suffering sub health problems.The numbers are particularly high in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, with 75.31, 73.49, and 73.41 percent respectively of residents in poor health, the survey showed.The problem happens mostly among senior and middle-level managers, clerks and other white-collar workers with high education levels, said the website of the Red Cross Society of China.“The sub health condition, found in most cases among groups of people with a high educational level, will have bad effects on Chinas long-term development and progress if not dealt timely and properly,” the website warned.A survey by the Chinese Academy of Sciences shows that the average life of Chinese intellectuals is 58 years, 10 years lower than the nations average.This early death phenomenon may be increasing.Among Chinese people with high education in the 25-59 age group, the death rate for women is as high as 10.4 per cent. For men it is even higher: 16.5 percent.A report published by the China Sub Health Academic Seminar said the countrys health is going through a transitional period and many long-term diseases have taken the place of infectious diseases such as SARS and flu as the main cause of death.“Bad working habits, poor disease prevention knowledge, not enough governmental investment and lack of health education are the main reasons,” said Yang Xiaoduo, a healthcare expert with a local health association, who said China should race against time seeking measures to solve the sub health problem.21. According to the text, which of the following is NOT true?A. Chinese people especially the city citizens are suffering from sub health problem.B. Infectious diseases used to be the main cause of death across China.C. Now more and more people realize the importance to stop sub health.D. Sub health problem will do damage to our countrys development.22. The following are the symptoms of sub health EXCEPT _.A. Weakness B. A bad temper C. Low energy levelsD. A poor immune system23. Whats the average life of Chinese people?A. 48B. 58C. 68 D. 7824. What will be talked about in the next paragraph?A. More reasons for sub health. B. The way to solve the problem of sub health.C. Who suffer from sub health. D. Why people with high education are more likely to suffer sub health.BFor thousands of years, the most important two buildings in any British village have been the church and the pub. Traditionally, the church and the pub are at the heart of any village or town, where the people gather together to socialize and exchange news.As a result, British pubs are often old and well preserved. The most famous example is the pub in the city of Nottingham called “The Old Trip to Jerusalem”, which dates back to the year 1189 AD and is probably the oldest pub in England. However, British pubs are not just for kings and queens; they welcome people from all classes and parts of society. On a cold night, the pubs landlord or landlady can always find a warm place for you by the fire. There is always honest and hearty food and plenty of drink available at an affordable price. Thats how things used to be. Things are beginning to change. It is said that the credit crunch (信贷紧缩) is causing 39 British pubs a week to go out of business. People do not have enough spare money to spend on beer. Recently, the UK government banned smoking in all pubs, and that may also have affected the number of customers going to pubs. This decline is happening despite the fact that in 2005 the UK government started to allow pubs to stay open after 11 pm. Previously, with 11 pm as closing time, customers would have to drink quite quickly, meaning they sometimes got more and more drunk than they would if allowed to drink slowly. The British habit of drinking a lot very quickly is known as “binge drinking”, and it causes long-term health problems for people and problems with violent crime for communities. In order to save their business, pubs are trying to change with the market. British pubs now offer something for everyone. A lot of pubs used to be “Working Mens Clubs”, meaning that women couldnt usually enter. Today, however, women can freely enter 99% of pubs without experiencing any problems. Perhaps things are changing for the better after all. 25. What can we learn from the passage?A. British people used to like drink slowly. B. Binge drinking means drinking less beer.C. Closing the pubs early will reduce social problems.D. British government aims at discouraging people from binge drinking.26. The passage mainly tells us something about _. A. the long history of British pubs B. the decline of British pubsC. the past and present of British pubs D. the importance of British pubs27. Which may not be the cause of the decline of British pubs?A. The present closing time. B. The credit crunch. C. The ban of smoking. D. Having no spare money. 28. We can see from the last paragraph that the author _. A. holds an optimistic attitude towards the British pubsB. is against the admission of too many women to the pubs C. thinks that British pubs should offer everything you need D. thinks that women in the pubs will cause less social problemsCIn her new book, “The Smartest Kids in the World”, Amanda Ripley, an investigative journalist, tells the story of Tom, a high-school student from Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, who decides to spend his senior year in Wroclaw, Poland. Poland is a surprising educational success story in the past decade, for the country raised students test scores from significantly below average to well above it. Polish kids have now outscored American kids in math and science, even though Poland spends on average less than half as much per student as the United States does. One of the most striking differences between the high school Tom attended in Gettysburg and the one he ends up at Wroclaw is that the latter has no football team or teams of any kind. That American high schools spend more time and money on sports than on math is an old complaint. In December, when the latest Program for International Student Assessment(PISA) results are announced, its safe to predict that American high-school students will once again show their limited skills in math and reading, outscored not just by students in Poland but also by students in places like China, Finland, Singapore, and Japan. Why does this situation continue? Well, for one thing, kids like it, and for another, according to Riley, parents seem to like the arrangement, too. She describes a tour she took of a school in Washington D. C., which costs thirty thousand dollars a year. The tour leadera mother with three children in the schoolwas asked about the schools flaws. When she said that the math program was weak, none of the parents taking the tour reacted. When she said that the football program was weak, the parents suddenly became concerned. “Really?” one of them asked worriedly, “What do you mean?”One of the ironies of the situation is that sports show what is possible. American kids performance on the field shows just how well they can do when expectations are high. Its too bad that their test scores show the same thing. 29. Tom decides to spend his senior year in Poland because _. A. he intends to improve his scores B. Polish kids are better at learning C. he wants to be the smartest kid in the world D. sports are not supported at school in Gettysburg30. According to Paragraph 2, we know that _. A. PISA plays a very important role in America B. little time is spent on sports in Japanese schools C. too much importance is placed on sports in America D. American students do better in both math and sports31. The underlined sentence in the last paragraph means _. A. low expectations result in American students poor PISA performance B. high expectations push up American students academic performance C. American students academic performance worries their parents a lot D. lacking practice contributes to American students average performanceDTo a large degree, the measure of our peace of mind is determined by how much we are able to live on the present moment. Irrespective of what happened yesterday or last year, and what may or may not happen tomorrow, the present moment is where you arealways!Without question, many of us have mastered the neurotic (神经兮兮的) art of spending much of our lives worrying about variety of thingsall at once. We allow past problems and future concerns to dominate our present moments so much that we end up anxious, frustrated, depressed, and hopeless. On the other hand, we also delay our happiness, often convincing ourselves that “someday” will be much better than today. Unfortunately, the same mental dynamics that tell us to look toward to the future will only repeat themselves so that “someday” never actually arrives. John Lennon once said, “Life is what is happening while we are busy making other plans.” When we are busy making “other plans”, our children are busy growing up, the people we love are moving away and dying, our bodies are getting out of shape, and our dreams are slipping away. In short, we miss out on life.Many people live as if life is a dress rehearsal for some later date. It isnt. In fact, no one has a guarantee that he or she will be here tomorrow. Now is the only time we have, and the only time that we have any control over. When our attention is in the present moment, we push fear from our minds. Fear is the concern over events that might happen in the futurewe wont have enough money, our children will get into trouble, we will get old and die, whatever.To combat fear, the best strategy is to learn to bring your attention back to the present. Mark Twain said, “I have been through some terrible things in life, some of which actually happened.” I dont think I can say it any better. Practice keeping your attention on here and now. Your effort will pay off.32. In the first paragraph, the author tells us to focus on _.A. the past B. the present C. the future D. every day33. Why do we often have some negative feelings?A. Because we often forget what happened in the past.B. Because we often pay attention to what is happening at present.C. Because we often ignore what will happen in the future.D. Because we are often disturbed by what happened in the past and what will happen in the future.34. The underlined word in the last paragraph means _.A. defeat B. depend C. deserve D. determine35. The best title of this passage is _.A. Never forget the past B. Never complain about lifeC. Always live in the present moment D. Always get prepared for the future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。Three Ways to Be More ConfidentYou may have many fears when you want to do something. This not only limits your potential in life but it also minimizes your ability to make a positive impact on the world around you. 36 One thing that will definitely help is working on your confidence. Know your strengths and weaknesses. As you learn who you are, you gain confidence and also learn your weaknesses. 37 For one thing, it can be hard to know which parts of you are you, and which parts are who you think you should be. A good start is to identify your strengths and weaknesses and then weigh those against what you enjoy. It might help to list five things you do well that you enjoy and five things youd like to do well. Make an effort to use some of the first list and work on some of the second every day. 38 Confidence comes not from knowing you know everything, but from knowing you can handle what comes up. No one in the world knows everything. 39 Dont weigh your security against what you know or can do; weigh it against your willingness and capacity to learn. Dont worry if youre not sure of what you can do nowbe sure to trust in your own potential. Practice confidence. It can be practicedand with that practice you will get better. 40 A great opportunity to do this is when you meet new people. Just like if you were the new kid in school, they have no idea who you aremeaning you have an opportunity to show them. A. Learn to receive praise. B. Trust your capabilities. C. Learning who you are doesnt happen overnight. D. Theres a lot that can help overcome those fears. E. Everyone is good at some things and not so good at others. F. Like anything else in life, your confidence will improve with practice. G. Maybe sometimes you didnt believe you could do most of the things you wanted to do. 第三部分 英语知识运用 (共两节, 满分45分)第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1. 5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。With the Board Meeting over, Bob stood up and spilt his coffee over his notes. “How 41 !
