Willapark Manor Hotel & The Country Garden Hotel B I was very glad that my friend Jennifer was going to be at my school! I was convinced that we would be best buds. She introduced me to her friend Amy and we had lots of fun together. But things started to change. Jennifer wanted to be the leader of our little group. She was controlling, and I couldnt make new friends. If so, she would decide that I was mad at her. Pretty soon being Jennifers friend was a struggle. I always waited for Jennifer and Amy after class, but sometimes when they left, theyd walk right past me as if they couldnt even see me. We often gossiped about people, and I soon realized that nobody was good enough for Jennifer. She had a list of bad things about everybody, even Amy, and about me, I guess I had changed-I became moody, depressed, and lonely. I spent days trying not to cry. I felt so left out. Finally, something snapped. I was sick of having to battle for friendship. I stopped sitting with Jennifer at lunch and waiting for her after class. Jennifer quickly announced I was mad at her. I said, Im not mad, I just want to make more friends. But with Jennifer, it was all or nothing, and she was convinced I was mad at her. So boom, our friendship fell to pieces. It was tough at first, but I found many girls whom Jennifer had classified as moody or mean ” to be the sweetest , friendliest people in the world. Now, I have tons of friends. They support me when I am sad, and I support them. We have fun together and I love them all. It amazes me how easy our friendship is. There is no struggling to be on top-we are all equal. It doesnt matter to me if two of them walk away or buy friendship necklaces together. It doesnt hurt my feelings or make me feel alone. I lost a friend, but I am a happier person now. 24.

The writers new friends are all moody and mean. C We know the word tolerance is widely used in liberal democracies(自由民主). It indicates a positive meaning. Politicians urge us to be tolerant towards minorities. Educators teach us to be tolerant towards the others. The press is full of references to the need to display tolerance when faced with individuals or groups espousing(拥护) a different view or holding a different religious belief. A tolerant society is an objective sought after by anyone who believes in the values of democracy. A tolerant individual is attributed(认为是) with virtuous qualities.The question we must ask is whether we have been using the word tolerance fully aware of its meaning and whether we have applied it correctly to reflect what we really wish to convey.The word tolerance means to bear, or to bear with. If I tolerate something or someone, I basically say that I am ready to bear it or him. I can tolerate a bad smell or a noisy neighbour. The act of toleration forces me to desist from conveying my objection to the existence of a phenomenon, which I find difficult to bear. A bad smell or a noisy neighbour is considered by me to be an objectionable phenomenon. By tolerating either of them, I am not transforming the bad smell or the noisy neighbour into positive phenomena. Lets be honest: I dont have a different taste when it comes to bad smells. I simply dislike it and wish that it disappears. I dont respect the noisy neighbour. I would rather have him stop at once the noise he is making so I can live in peace.A tolerant attitude involves the grant(授给物) of a favour, not a right. The question we should ask ourselves is whether we would ever wish a parliament(议会) to make laws according to certain actions interpreted as a favour rather than a right? Indeed, would we ever wish anyone to listen to our views and accept us the way we are simply because he is kind enough to tolerate us?28. The first two paragraphs are mainly intended to show that _.A. tolerance is a symbol of liberal democraciesB. tolerance can be applied to many situationsC. democratic society always advocates tolerance D. peoples understanding of tolerance is one-sided29. The underlined part “desist from” in Paragraph 3 can be replaced by “_.A. stop B. dislike C. deny D. keep30. The example of a bad smell and a noisy neighbour is raised to indicate that _.A.the writer are fed up with them B. most people find them hard to tolerateC. the writer isnt prejudiced against them D. tolerating them isnt a virtuous act31. The best title for this passage should be “_”.A. Tolerance and respect B. What is to be tolerated?C. Is Tolerance a Virtue? D. Should people be tolerant?D Do you often take exercise? Exercise may help to safeguard the mind against depression(沮丧)through previously unknown effects on working muscles, according to a new study involving mice.Mental health experts have long been aware that even mild, repeated stress can contribute to the development of depression and other mood disorders in animals and people. Scientists have also known that exercise seems to cushion against depression. But precisely how exercise, a physical activity can reduce someones risk for depression, a mood state, has been mysterious. So for the new study, researchers at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm studied the brains and behavior of mice in a complicated and novel fashion.We cant ask mice if they are feeling cheerful or in low spirits. Instead, researchers have pictured certain behaviors that indicate depression in mice. If animals lose weight, stop seeking out a sugar solution when its available because, probably, they no longer experience normal pleasures or give up trying to escape from the cold-water zone just freeze in place, they are categorized as depressed. And in the new experiment, after five weeks of frequent but low-level stress, such as being lightly shocked, mice displayed exactly those behaviors. They became depressed.The scientists could then have tested whether exercise blunts (延缓) the risk of developing depression after stress by having mice run first. But, frankly, from earlier research, they wanted to know how, so they bred pre-exercised mice. A wealth of earlier research by these scientists and others had shown that aerobic exercise, in both mice and people, increases the production within muscles of an enzyme (酶) called PGC-1alpha. The Karolinska scientists suspected（怀疑） that this enzyme somehow creates conditions within the body that protect the brain against depression. Then, the scientists exposed the animals, which without exercising, were in high levels of PGC-1alpha to five weeks of mild stress. The mice responded with slight symptoms of worry. But they did not develop depression. They continued to seek out sugar and fought to get out of the cold-water zone. Their high levels of PGC-1alpha appeared to make them depression-resistant（抵抗的）. Finally, to ensure that these findings are relevant to people, the researchers had a group of adult volunteers complete three weeks of frequent endurance training, consisting of 40 to 50 minutes of moderate cycling or jogging. The scientists conducted muscle biopsies (活体检查) before and after the program and found that by the end of the three weeks, the volunteers muscle cells contained substantially more PGC-1alpha than at the studys start.The finding of these results, in the simplest terms, is that “you reduce the risk of getting depression when you exercise,” said Maria Lindskog, a researcher at the Karolinska Institute.32. The researchers at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm conducted the new study hoping to know_.A. if exercise cushions against depressionB. what can lead to depression in animals and peopleC. if stress can contribute to the development of depressionD. how exercise contributes to reducing someones risk for depression33.We can infer from the new experiment conducted by researchers at the Karolinska Institute that mice are depressed except when_.A. they stand still in placeB. they stop searching for the sugar waterC. they attempt to escape from the cold-water zoneD. they cant experience normal pleasures any longer34.Researchers asked a group of adult volunteers to complete three weeks of frequent endurance training in order to_.A. know if exercise can help to safeguard the mind against depressionB. confirm the findings above are also relevant to peopleC. ensure they can lose weight after moderate cycling or joggingD. know if they can endure 40 to 50 minutes of moderate cycling or jogging35.It can be concluded from the passage that_.A. the enzyme called PGC-1alpha helps to reduce depressionB. athletes are more likely to develop depression than ordinary peopleC. the mice with high levels of PGC-1alpha are easier to develop depressionD. in the past mental health specialists didnt know exercise could help reduce depression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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Different Cultures The cultures of the East and the West really distinguish each other a lot. 36 . The origin of the Eastern culture is mainly from two countries: China and India. Both of the two cultures are developed by rivers-the Yellow River in China and the Hindu River in India. 37 . When the two mother rivers gave birth to the Eastern culture, another famous culture was brought up on the Mesopotamian Plain -the Mesopotamian Civilization. This civilization later on developed into the cultures of Ancient Rome. 38 . Like the Chinese culture, the European culture also crossed waters. When the British settled down in America, their culture went with them over the Atlanta Ocean. So the American culture doesnt distinguish from the European culture a lot. At the same time, some other differences add to the cultural differences. Take the language system for example. In the East, most languages belong to the pictographic language while the Western languages are mostly based on the Latin system. Other causes like human race differences count as well. But whats more, due to the far distance and the steep areas between the East and the West, the two cultures seldom communicate until recent centuries. 39 . The differences are everywhere. 40 .But different cultures make the world of 21st century more colorful. The cultural gap should not be the obstacle to the civilization of human being. It ought to be the motivation of our going farther. A. Let us work together to keep a variety of cultures. B. One important thing is to learn about other cultures.C. And these two are well - known as the base of the European culture.D. This is because the culture systems are two separate systems on the whole.E. They helped the two cultures develop for centuries and form their own styles.F. They are obvious and affect peoples ways of thinking and their views of the world.G. So they grew up totally in their own ways with almost no interference from the other.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。Not all love is
