Tired of those who were only interested in her money, she said that she would only marry whoever managed to present her with the most valuable and sincere gift of all. The palace was filled with gifts of every kind. Among all these gifts, she found a simple dirty stone. She wondered who had offered this gift. However, she pretended to be highly offended(冒犯)by the gift when the young man was brought before her. He explained, Dear Princess, this stone represents the most valuable thing one can give it is my heart. It is also sincere. And because it is not yet yours, it is as hard as a stone. Only when it is filled with love will it become more tender than any others. The young man quietly left, leaving the princess surprised. She was so in love that she took the little stone with her wherever she went. And for months she gave the young man gifts and all her attention. But his heart remained as hard as the stone in her hands. Losing hope, she ended up throwing the stone into a fire. Then in the heat of the fire, the stone became a golden figure. With this, the princess understood that she herself would have to be like fire. During the following months, she devoted her life, her wisdom and her wealth to her country. And the people started to call her, the Princess of Fire. And as with the stone, the Princess of Fire melted the hardness of the young mans heart. And just as he had promised, he became so tender that he made the princess happy till the end of her days. 56. How did the princess feel when she first saw the stone? A. Angry.B. Excited.C. Curious.

A Smart Young Man D. A Country Full of LoveB Are you curious about mysterious creatures? We are going to tell you about some here. Okapi(欧卡皮鹿)If giraffes and zebras could produce a next generation, their babies would look like an okapi. This strange-looking creature has striped legs like a zebra and the face of a giraffe. Its neck is much shorter than a giraffe, but like its cousin, it has an extremely long tongue, which can be up to 12 inches long. The okapi can use its tongue to wash its own eyelids and ears. Before 1901, Okapis were known only to the people living in the Congo rainforest.Loch Ness Monster(尼斯湖水怪) The locals near Loch Ness in northwestern Scotland refer to the mysterious creature as Nessie. Nessie is said to be a large animal with a long neck that lived during the time of the dinosaurs. Similar creatures have been reported in other lakes around the world. But whether it is real remains unknown.Ivory-Billed Woodpecker(象牙喙啄木鸟) By the mid-1990s, the ivory- billed woodpecker was widely believed to have died out due to deforestation(砍伐森林) and hunting. It was rediscovered in 2004, when a bird lover reported seeing one alive in the woods of Arkansas, America. Researchers later got a video of the bird. King Cheetah(帝王猎豹) Starting in 1926, people in Zimbabwe began to see a cheetah with unusual markings. This cheetah has large spots like a leopard(美洲豹) and black stripes down its back. People called the creature king cheetah. It is a leopard-cheetah hybrid (混合). 60.

Peer pressure can be direct or indirect, but it is almost always present. Learning to deal with peer pressure makes a teen mature (成熟的), and able to get along well with others. Bad peer pressure is when teens feel pressured to do something that they know is wrong, such as smoking, drinking, or drugs (毒品), and it can remain with them into adulthood. This is the main reason teens have to learn how to deal with it. Some of the things you can do to deal with peer pressure include:Choose friends who share your values. Good friends use positive peer pressure to help you be your best self. Keep away from situations where people are doing things you dont want to do. Think about your reasons for doing things. Are they good reasons? Are you being true to yourself and your values? Practice ways of saying no, giving excuses if necessary.Talk to your parents, or other trusted adults, about the kinds of peer pressure you face, and listen to their advice. Let the adults know when you need help to get out of a bad situation, and dont know what to do about it. Remember that if just one teen stands up to peer pressure, usually others will join him or her. Learning to deal with peer pressure will make you confident (自信的) and mature. 64. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?A. Peer pressure includes direct and indirect pressure.B. Peer pressure comes from smoking, drinking and using drugs.C. Teens facing pressure cant tell right from wrong.D. Teens who face pressure are maturer than those who dont65. Teens should learn to deal with peer pressure mainly because _.A. it can lead them to make serious mistakesB. it can influence them even when theyve grown upC. learning to deal with it can help them get along well with othersD. learning to deal with it can make them mature and confident66. According to the passage, teens should _.A. stay away from people who dont share their values B. have good reasons for anything they do C. say no more often than yesD. ask adults whom they trust for help67. The purpose of the passage is to tell us _.A. what peer pressure is B. how to deal with peer pressureC. the effects of peer pressure D. how to get along with peers D Medical experts have found that there is a direct link between our personality and better health. According to a new study, the ability of ones body to prevent diseases, is not only a matter of ones race or gender(性别), but a matter of involvement in activities that can produce happiness. Researchers at the University of Rochester Medical Center found that extroverts(性格外向者), and, in particular, those who are happy in their day to day life seldom have heart attacks. The study shows that active involvement in life is related to lower levels of inflammatory hormones (炎症激素), but it may be really hard to tell which one comes first. One of the researchers, Dr. Chapman, warns that they have not yet discovered whether low inflammation is the result of activity. Therefore, he warns that one needs to be careful when it comes to explaining this association(联系). The researchers are not sure how to encourage people to change their lifestyle or nature. Physical activity may be part of the solution. Dr. Chapman says that, more than exercise, some people just have the energy that helps them to be happily involved in life. As a result, their bodies have an increased ability to stand the physical effects of stress. However, the experts have not lost hope of finding ways to treat stress and to help people find ways to engage themselves actively in life. This can thus keep people much happier and healthier by keeping the body from experiencing pain. We could all find something in life we enjoy doing, they said.68. According to the medical research, ones health is related to all of the following EXCEPT _.A. ones gender B. ones race C. ones taking part in activities D. ones education69. What can we learn from Paragraph 2? A. Low inflammation is the result of activity.B. Theres no relation between low inflammation and activity.C. Its not clear whether activity leads to low inflammation.D. Dr. Chapman has found the direct cause of low inflammation.70. According to the passage, the key to maintaining good health is _.A. getting happily involved in life B. enjoying advanced medical technology C. doing more exercise D. controlling stress 第二卷（非选择题 共35分）第四部分：任务型阅读（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）第一节 请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。（注意：请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上。每个空格只填1个单词。）Are you tired of the same old schedule on Mothers Day? Well, here are some new ideas to help you enjoy that special day with your mother. While it seems almost a tradition to take your mother out for dinner on Mothers Day, perhaps this year you could try something else. You could invite her to a restaurant before or after the actual day. This way you dont have to fight the crowds, and the prices will be lower. Take your mother out for a picnic lunch if the weather is nice. You and she can enjoy the cool breeze under the shade of a tree while having a nice meal that you have made for her. Be sure to pack some of her favorite foods. Another idea would be to invite your mother to go bowling(打保龄球). Even if she has never bowled in her life, trying something new is always interesting. You could treat her to a movie she is dying to see, and make sure you buy her all the popcorn and candies she can eat. If you are a male, the chances are you wont like the movie she wants to see, so instead you could go to the mall and get your picture taken with your mother, which she can proudly display in her house. Take her to a spa on Mothers Day. She has been working so hard and needs a way to release her stress. If she doesnt want to go to a spa, buy her special soaps and oils so she can relax herself in her own tub. There are various types of soaps and oils with delicious flavors available. You could also buy her some scented (芬芳的) candles that she could light by her tub to make the atmosphere peaceful. No matter what you choose, make sure you do something special for the woman who took care of you for so long.Title: Special ideas for Mothers DayProblemBe tired of the same old schedule on Mothers Day.(71) _Go out for dinner before or after Mothers DayAvoid the (72) _Have lower pricesGo out for a (73) _ lunchEnjoy the cool breeze under the shade of a treeEnjoy a nice meal that you have made for herInvite her to go bowlingSomething new is always (74) _See a (75) _ or take a photo with her She can proudly display the (76) _ in her house.Take her to a (77) _She needs a way to release her stress.Buy her special (78) _ and oils and scented candlesShe can relax in her tub and enjoy the (79) _ atmosphere.ConclusionMake sure you do something (80) _ for your mother.第二节 用所给短语的适当形式完成句子。（共5小题，满分5分）be dangerous to morethan be fond of have some difficulty in make the most of 81.
