I learned that lesson when I decided to treat Doug, my husband of one month, to a special meal. I glanced through my cookbook and chose a menu which included homemade bread. Knowing the bread would take time, I started on it as soon as Doug left for work. As I was not experienced in cooking, I thought if a dozen was good, two dozen would be better, so I doubled everything. As Doug loved oranges, I also opened a can of orange and poured it all into the bowl. Soon there was a sticky dough (面团) covered with ugly yellowish marks . Realizing I had been defeated, I put the dough in the rubbish bin outside so I wouldnt have to face Doug laughing at my work. I went on preparing the rest of the meal and, when Doug got home, we sat down to Cornish chicken with rice. He tried to enjoy the meal but seemed disturbed. Twice he got up and went outside, saying he thought he heard a noise. The third time he left, I went to the windows to see what he was doing. Looking out, I saw Doug standing about three feet from the rubbish bin, holding the lid up with a stick and looking into the container. When I came out of the house, he dropped the stick and explained that there was something alive in our rubbish bin. Picking up the stick again, he held the lid up enough for me to see. I felt cold. But I stepped closer and looked harder. Without doubt it was my work. The hot sun had caused the dough to double in size and the fermenting yeast (酵母) made the surface shake and sigh as though it were breathing . I had to admit what the living thing was and why it was there. I dont know who was more embarrassed by the whole thing- Doug or me.41. The writers purpose in writing this story is _.

They warn that anger can lead to heart disease, stomach problems, headaches, emotional problems and even cancer. Anger is a normal emotion that we all feel from time to time. Some people express anger openly in a calm reasonable way. Some burst with anger and scream and yell. But others keep their anger inside. They can not or will not express it. This is called repressing anger. For years many doctors thought that repressing anger was more dangerous to a persons health than expressing it. They said that when a person is angry, the brain releases the same hormones(荷尔蒙). They speed the heart rate, raise blood pressure, or sugar into the blood, etc. In general the person feels excited and ready to act. Some doctors say that both repressing and expressing anger can be dangerous. They believe that those who express anger violently may be more likely to develop heart disease, and they believe that those who keep their anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood pressure. Doctors say the solution is learning how to deal with anger. They say the first step is to admit that you are angry and to recognize the real cause of the anger, then decide if the cause is serious enough to get angry about. If it is, they say, Do not express your anger while angry. Wait until your anger has cooled down and you are able to express yourself calmly and reasonably. Doctors say that a good way to deal with anger is to find humor in the situation that has made you angry. They said that laughter is much healthier than anger.46. Damaging emotion means that _. A. the emotion is harmless B. the emotion is harmful C. the feeling is very strong D. the feeling is hard47. Which of the following statement is right? A. Were you angry, you would be cancered(患癌症的). B. Once you are angry, you must be cancered. C. Angry as you are often, you cant be cancered. D. Anger may cause you to suffer from a cancer.48. Expressing anger violently _ repressing it according to some scientists. A. is not as danger as B. is more harmful than C. is no better than D. is much better than49. According to the author, youd better _ A. never be angry B. cool down your anger before you express it C. laugh and laugh when you get angry D. admit you are wrong when you are angry50. What is the passage mainly about? A. The types of anger. B. How to release anger. C. Causes of anger. D. The damage to health caused by being angry.CThe food we eat seems to have a great effect on our health. Although science has made big steps in making food more fit to eat, it has, at the same time, made many foods unfit to eat. Some research has shown that perhaps eighty percent of human illness is related to food and forty percent of cancer is related to food as well. That food is related to illness is not a new discovery. In 1945, some researchers realized that things commonly used to keep colour in meats and other food additives（添加剂）caused cancer. Yet, these additives remain in our food, and it is difficult to know which things on the wrappings（包装）of foods are helpful or harmful. The additives which we eat are not all so direct. Farmers often give penicillin to their animals, and because of this, penicillin has been found in the milk of cows. Sometimes similar things are supplied to animals not for their health, but just to make a profit. The farmers are simply trying to fatten the animals in order to get a higher price on the market. Although some countries have tried to control such things, the practice continues.51. According to this passage, we can know . A. perhaps most of human illness is caused by what we eat B. perhaps most kinds of cancer are related to what people eat C. cancer was discovered in 1945 D. science has made food unfit to eat 52. Things that are used to keep colours in meats are . A. harmful B. useless C. helpless D. dangerous 53. All the additives . A. are bright and colourless B. are not bright and colourful C. have indirect effects on our health D. have direct effects on our health 54. People use additives . A. to make food more unfit to eat B. to improve the colour and taste of the food C. to change colour of the food D. to take off the diseases of the food55. Which of the following is not true? A. Some wrappings of food are harmful. B. Farmers try to make more money on the market by fattening their animals. C. “The practice continues” means “things are still going on like that”. D. We neednt take care of what we eat. DHow to improve my life? Many people think that they have to accept whatever life throws at them. Theyll say, This is my fate, my destiny. I cannot change it. Of course not! You dont have to suffer needlessly. Your destiny depends on you, not on any other external factors. I know someone who says she just accepts what life gives her because she has done everything she can to improve it. Guess what her lifestyle is? She wakes up in the morning, goes to work, comes back home, relaxes, chats with people, watches TV, then goes to sleep. Next day, the same routine cycle follows. Huh! Is this what she calls doing her best? She believes she has tried her best and just accepts it in her heart that this is the life that God has intended for her to live; that her luck can only change if God wills it. Of course God wants us to be happy and live our life to the fullest, but we have to do our share of exerting(运用) the effort to live the life of our dreams. Remember that you reap what you sow. You just dont sit around and wait for a million dollars to fall from the sky. You have to get off the couch, get your eyes off the TV screen, get your hands off the phone. Dont expect your luck to change unless you do something about it. If something goes wrong, dont just regard it as a temporary setback; but use it as feedback. Learn your lesson, make the most of the situation, and do something to solve the problem. Its not enough to think positively; you also have to act positively.If someones life is in the trouble, do you just hope and pray that things will turn out fine? Of course not! You get to do anything you can to save the person. So it is with your own life. It is not enough to hope for the best, but you have to do your best. In other words, dont just stand (or sit ) there, do something to improve your life.56. According to the woman mentioned in Para.3, her life _. A. doesnt need improving B. couldnt be improved C. will be better some day D. will be worse in the future 57. What does the author think of the womans life?

Your luck can be changed by your effortsC. You can only achieve success when God wills it. D. You should treat yourself in the way you treat friends.59.

A.understand yourselfB. improve your life C.believein yourself D. change your normal way 第二节 信息匹配（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下列材料，从所给的六个选项（A、B、C、D、E和F）中，选出符合各小题要求的最佳选项，答案如果是E，就在答题卡上同时涂A、B，答案如果是F，就在答题卡上同时涂C、D。选项中有一项是多余选项。阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。 以下是学习英浯的方法： A.
