It influences health, intelligence(智力) and feelings.In August, it is very hot and wet in the southern part of the United States. People there have heart trouble and other kinds of health problems during this month. In the Northeast and the Middle West, it is very hot at some times and very cold at other times. People in these states(州) have more heart trouble after the weather changes in February or March.The weather can also influence intelligence. For example, in a 1983 report by scientists, IQ(智商) of a group of students was very high when a very strong wind came, but after the strong wind, their IQ was 10% lower. The wind can help people have more intelligence. Very hot weather, on the other hand, can make it lower. Students in many schools of the United States often get worse on exams in the hot months of the year (July and August).Weather also has a strong influence on peoples feelings. Winter may be a bad time for thin people. They usually feel cold during these months. They might feel unhappy during cold weather. But fat people may have a hard time in hot summer. At about 18, people become stronger.Low air pressure(气压) may make people forgetful(健忘). People leave more bags on buses and in shops on low-pressure days. People feel best at a temperature of about 18.Are you feeling sad, tired, forgetful, or unhappy today? It may be the weathers problem.（1）What can cause problems on health?A . Warm weather.B . A strong wind.C . Hot and wet weather.D . Low air pressure.（2）According to(根据) the writer, fat people may feel bad in weather.A . coldB . hotC . warmD . cool（3）The writer wants to tell us that .A . hot and cold weather influences all people in the same wayB . weather influences peoples behavior(行为)C . people feel good on low pressure daysD . IQ changes when weather changes（4）Which is the best title(标题) for this passage?A . Hot Weather Causes Health ProblemsB . Weather Influences Health, Intelligence and FeelingsC . Weather Influences FeelingsD . Different Weather Makes People Feel Bad18. （8分）阅读下面短文，从下面每小题的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。That warm day was the only day of the week without rain. I opened the door, took a seat and began to enjoy the wonderful sunshine. Suddenly, I noticed that the house near mine had been sold. An elderly lady was in front of the door, with some beautiful flowers beside her. I walked to her. She looked to be in her early eighties and had the prettiest white hair.Hi! My name is Karmen, I said smiling brightly at the old lady. She smiled back and said. Hello, Karmen. Im Henrietta. Her voice was very strong for someone at her age. Later, I learnt she was alone and had no family or relatives to help her. From that day on, I often visited her and helped her with her housework and sometimes she gave me some delicious food. A year passed, and I considered Henrietta to be one of my best friends.One day, I walked over for my morning visit and knocked on the door, but there was no answer. I knocked again, and she still didnt turn up. So I let myself in, using the key she had given me. I checked her living room and then her kitchen. I finally went into her bedroom, and she was lying peacefully on her bed. Beside her there were two notes. One was her will, which said all that she had would be given to me. The other was a thank-you note. I went to her bedside and cried sadly.Though several years have gone by, I still miss her deeply. Whenever I look at the beautiful flowers in front of her house.

You name them work, family, health, friends and spirit (精神) and you keep all of them in the air. You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will jump back. But the other four balls, family, health, friends and spirit are made of glass. If you drop one of these, they will be broken. They will never be the same. You must understand that and try to have the balance in your life. How?Dont look down on your worth by comparing yourself with others. It is because we are different and each of us is special.Dont let other people set goals for you. Only you know what is best for yourself.Dont give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.Dont be afraid of difficulties. We learn how to be brave by taking chances.Dont shut love out of your life by saying its impossible. The quickest way to receive love is to give it; the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly (紧紧地), the best way to keep love is to give it wings.Dont run through life so fast that you forget not only where youve been, but also where you are going.Dont be afraid to learn. Knowledge is a treasure (珍宝) you can always carry easily.Dont use time or words carelessly. You cant get them back. Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery (秘密), and today is a gift, thats why we call it “the present”. Life is not a competition, but a trip, step by step.（1）The passage tells us not to _ because everyone is special.A . be afraid of difficultiesB . be afraid to learnC . run through life so fastD . compare yourself with others to look down on your worth（2）The sentence “Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.” means that_.A .

Because time is too expensiveB . Because time never returns.C . Because we are too poorD . Because times will get back.（4）According to the passage, which is the best title? _A .

Some students cant sleep well the day before a math exam. Others may feel very nervous during the exam itself. But there might be a way to make the subject less stressful(压力大的).For people who are worried about math, posture (姿势) makes a big difference, Erik Paper from San Francisco State University told the Daily Mail. Thats right sitting up straight can help you do better on math exams.Scientists tested 125 college students. They asked them to do a simple math exam while sitting in a slumped-over (趴倒的) posture, or sitting up straight. After the test, 56 percent of students said the exam was easier to do if they were sitting up straight.Slumping over is a defensive(戒备的) posture. It can bring about bad memories in the body and brain. This can stop you from thinking clearly, Paper said.Students who were not nervous about taking the math exam did not necessarily benefit(受益) from better posture. But they did find that doing math while slumped over was more difficult, Science Daily reported.Good posture isnt just helpful for taking math exams. Sportspeople, musicians and public speakers can all benefit from better posture. When you feel stressed out, you can also try to sit up straight or stand tall. It can help you feel more certain and focus better.（1）What posture can make people feel less stressed during math exams? A . Sitting up straight.B . Hanging your head.C . Lying on your back.D . Raising one hand.（2）What did the scientists ask the college students to do during the test? A . To do sit-ups.B . To count numbers.C . To think carefully.D . To sit in different postures.（3）How many students in the test benefited from the better posture? A . All the 125 students.B . Less than half of them.C . 56 percent of them.D . None of the students.（4）The fourth paragraph is written to explain . A . why slumping over makes exams harder to doB . why slumping over is bad for ones healthC . why some people slump over during examsD . why people are nervous during math exams（5）Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A . Slump over to Take ExamsB . Sit up to Do MathC . Better Posture for Nervous StudentsD . Good Advice for Better Exams四、 补全短文 (共1题；共5分)21. （5分）下面文章中有五处（第31-35题）需要添加小标题，从以下选项AF中选出能概括每一段主题的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余项。A. The engine in your body.B. The location, size and heartbeat of a heart.C. What happens when the heart beats?D. How does your heart work?E. How do we know about the heart?F. What can a doctor tell by feeling your pulse?_Your heart is located in your chest, a little to your left. This heart of yours, which is about the size of your two fists held together, beats about 90 times a minute. A grown persons heart beats about 60 to 80 times a minute. The heartbeat is not just the same in all persons, and it is not the same in any one person at all times._When your heart beats, it is pumping blood to all parts of your body. If you could examine your heart closely, you would see that it is really two pumps placed side by side, and working at the same time. Each pump has two parts, the upper part called the auricle (心房), and the lower part called the ventricle (心室). The auricles receive the blood as it comes into them after it has been pumped through the body. The ventricles pump the blood out. The right one pumps the blood to the lungs and the left one pumps the blood to all other parts of the body. At the top and bottom openings of each ventricle are valves (阀门) which make the blood go in only one direction._Your heart is sometimes called the engine or the motor in your body and sometimes called the pump. It works away, both day and night. First it pumps out some blood, rests for a few seconds, and then it pumps some more. In a normal day, the heart pumps about 2,500 gallons of blood from the auricles and ventricles._By using a stethoscope to listen to the heart, the doctor can tell whether your heart is beating evenly and whether the valves are closing tightly. The stethoscope makes these sounds so clear that the doctor can hear them easily. The stethoscope has an earpiece that he places on your chest and tubes that he places in his ear. The earpiece carries the sound or your hearts beating along the tubes to the doctors ears, and it makes the sound seem much louder than it really is. The doctor could listen to your heartbeat by pulling his ear against your chest._An easy experiment can help you understand what happens when the heart beats. You can do this experiment with a hollow rubber ball. Make a small hole in it, and fill the ball with water through the hole. When you squeeze the ball, you will notice how the water comes out in a spurt each time you squeeze. After each spurt the ball comes back to its round shape again. Something like this happens when your heart beats. The muscles（肌肉） in your heart grow smaller, or contract, and squeeze the blood out of the heart. Each time this happens, we say your heart is beating. Perhaps you have noticed that the doctor places his finger on the pulse in your wrist when you are ill. By doing this he can tell how fast your heart is beating. 五、 单词填空 (共1题；共10分)22. （10分）根据原文内容,将文章的空填写完整Today I kept a promise and had lunch with a friend I had not seen for a while.
