He sat in the corner of the living room， a pen in one hand and my fathers new 21 in the other.As our father walked into the room，my brother cowered(畏缩) slightly; he sensed that he had done something 22 . He had scribbled (乱涂) on the first page with the pen. Now，he and I both 23 our fathers punishment. And as we waited， there was no way we could have known that he was about to 24 us one of his deep and lasting lessons about life and family，lessons that continue to become 25 clearer to me through the years. My father 26 his book and looked at it carefully without saying a word. Books were 27 to him. For him，books were knowledge，and 28 he loved his children. What he did next was remarkable (不寻常的). Instead of 29 my brother，instead of scolding him，he 30 the pen from my brothers hand and then wrote in the book 31 :Johns work，1959，age 2. Thank God for the one who has just 32 in my new book.

They used to manage the home and look after children. They were free of the responsibility of earning money to support the family, which was left to men.With the coming of industrialization (工业化) and technological development, the lifestyles of human beings started to change. The needs of human beings started to grow. In this process, women slowly started to move outside the home. Women received the same education as men. Gradually, women slowly started to think independently and participated equally with men in all fields of life, including politics, sports and even military.With changing environments, the role of women has become more important in society. To match todays standard of living, it is necessary for both men and women to support the family.Today, women have been given bigger roles to play in society. They are even taking more responsibility than men. At first, men disagreed with women pursuing (追求) their careers outside the home. However, with growing needs and a shortage of money, they had no other way but to accept the reality.The financial contributions from women to their families have increased, but in some places, the home is still managed only by women as in the past. It is a challenging task for women to manage both. Women are bearing the stress and suffering mental difficulties with both managing the home and pursuing their careers.41. The best title for the passage would be _.A. Womens Responsibility in Society B. The Changing Social EnvironmentsC. The Changing Role of Women in Society D. Womens Financial Contributions42. Earlier in the old days, women used to do the following EXCEPT _.A. wash clothes B. prepare dinnersC. look after children D. make money for the family43. We can infer from the last paragraph that _.A. women dont need to manage the home todayB. women are taking more responsibility than beforeC. men still disagree with women pursuing their careersD. men have begun to do more housework than women（B）like many other fruit,Cherries(樱桃) are packed with antioxidants(抗氧化剂)that may help to prevent cancer and heart disease,as well as slow the aging process.Perhaps youve heard about the controversy(争议)between the FD(Food and Drug Administration)and the cherry industry and wondered what it was all about.Are cherries not as healthy to eat as you thought they were?Should you stop eating cherries?The answer is no.The controversy is over certain health claims made by the cherry industry and those who sell products made from cherries,such as pills，capsules and juice，not the health benefits of cherries themselves. While many scientific studies have demonstrated the health benefits of cherries, the FDA says that makers of products containing cherries cannot claim that their products prevent， treat or cure a specific disease such as cancer.For the general population, however, the bottom line is that there is no reason not to eat cherries. There are two types of cherry: sweet and sour(酸的). Sweet cherries are often sold fresh in grocery stores. Sour cherries are canned and used in pies, and dried to be made into fruit snacks and juice. Like most other fruit,cherries are fat-free, low in calories and high in certain minerals and vitamins. They can be eaten raw, cooked or juiced; if you want year-round cherry enjoyment, they are also easy to can and enjoy at your convenience.Most scientific research has centered on the health benefits of sour cherries. Sour cherries are among the top fruit as far as antioxidant levels go. According to one study, eating 20 sour cherries a day could provide the same pain relief that aspirin does.Researchers in Texas recently discovered that sour cherries contain high levels of melatonin (返黑素), something produced by the body that is thought to help slow the aging process as well as control sleep. Cherries may lower blood sugar levels and help to significantly reduce pain due to muscle damage.44 .The underlined word it in the first paragraph refers to “_”.A. the aging processB. the controversy C. the FDAD. the cherry industry 45.Which of the following benefits of cherries is NOT mentioned in the passage?A.They can help control sleep if canned.B.They can help slow the process of agingC.They lower the blood sugar level.D.They help relieve the pain of some diseases.46.What would be the best title for this passage?A.The FDAs New RuleB.The Health Benefits of CherriesC.Scientific Research on CherriesD.Different Opinions about Cherries47.Where can we most probably read this passage?A.In a life magazine.B.In a science report.C.In a short story.D.On an entertainment website.（C）One of the qualities that most people admire in others is the willingness to admit ones mistakes. It is extremely hard sometimes to say a simple thing like “I was wrong about that，”and it is even harder to say，“I was wrong, and you were right about that.”I had an experience recently with someone admitting to me that he had made a mistake fifteen years ago. He told me he had been the manager of a certain grocery store in the neighborhood where I grew up，and he asked me if I remembered the egg cartons (箱子).Then he related（提到） an incident and I began to remember clearly the incident he was describing.I was about eight years old at the time，and I had gone into the store with my mother to do the weekly grocery shopping. On that day，I must have found my way to the dairy (乳品的) food department where the incident took place.There must have been a special sale on eggs that day because there was an impressive display of eggs in dozen and halfdozen cartons. The cartons were stacked(堆放) three or four feet high. I must have stopped in front of a display to admire the stacks. Just then a woman came by pushing her grocery cart and knocked off the stacks of cartons. For some reason，I decided it was up to me to put the display back together，so I went to work.The manager heard the noise and came rushing over to see what had happened. When he appeared，I was on my knees examining some of the cartons to see if any of the eggs were broken，but to him it looked as though I was the criminal（罪犯）.He severely scolded（责骂） me and wanted me to pay for any broken eggs. I protested(抗议)my innocence and tried to explain，but it did no good. Even though I quickly forgot all about the incident，obviously the manager did not.48.The author was when he wrote this article.A. about 8B. about 18 C. about 23 D. about 1549.Who should have been blamed for knocking off the stacks of cartons？A. The author. B. The manager. C. The woman. D. The authors mother.50.When the manager scolded him，the author .A. was frightened and cried B. felt the manager was rightC. did not say anything D. tried to explain51.It can be inferred that the author .A. regrets arguing with the manager for what he didnt doB. has forgiven the manager for what he did to him fifteen years agoC. would like to tell people never to be fooled by an egg saleD. expects the woman to say sorry to him for the mistake she made （D） A new study of 8,000 young people in the Journal of Health and Social Behavior shows that although love can make adults live healthily and happily, it is a bad thing for young people. Puppy love may bring stress for young people and can lead to depression（忧郁症）. The study shows that girls become more depressed than boys, and younger girls are the worst of all.The possible reason for the connection between love and higher risk of depression for girls is “loss of self”. According to the study, even though boys would say “lose themselves in a romantic relationship”, this “loss of self” is much more likely to lead to depression when it happens to girls. Young girls who have romantic relationships usually like hiding their feelings and opinions. They wont tell that to their parents.Dr Marianm Kaufman, an expert on young people problems, says 15% to 20% young people will have depression during their growing. Trying romance often causes the depression. She advises kids not to jump into romance too early. During growing up, it is important for young people to build strong friendships and a strong sense of self. She also suggests the parents should encourage their kids to keep close to their friends, attend more interesting school activities and spend enough time with family.Parents should watch for signs of depression eating or mood changes and if they see signs from their daughters or sons, they need to give help. The good news is that the connection between romance and depression seems to become weak with age. Love will always make us feel young, but only maturity（成熟）gives us a chance to avoid its bad side effects.52Whats the main idea of the passage?APuppy love may bring young people depressionBParents should forbid their childrens loveCRomance is a two-edged sword for adultsDRomance is good for young people53Which of the following is more likely to have depression?AYoung people who have a strong sense of selfishnessBYoung boys whose parents watch for their behaviorCYoung girls who always hide their feelings and opinionsDCareless parents whose children are deep in love54What can be inferred from the passage?ALacking love can lead young people to grow up more quicklyBEarly love makes young people keep close to their friends and parentsCParents should help their children to be aware of the signs of depressionDThe older a woman is, the less likely she seems to lose herself in romance55Whats the authors attitude towards puppy love?AConfused BDisapproving CDisinterested DScared第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文。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。 Doctors say anger can be an extremely harmful emotion, unless you learn how to deal with it. They warn that angry feelings can lead to heart disease, stomach problems, headaches, emotional problems and possibly cancer. 56 Some people express anger openly in a calm, reasonable way. Others burst with anger and scream and yell. But still other people keep their anger inside. They cannot 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. 57Some 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 anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood pressure. 58 They say the first step is to admit that you are angry and to recognize the real cause of anger, then decide if the cause is serious enough to get angry about. If it is, they say, “ 59 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. 60 A.They speed the heart rate, raise blood pressure, or sugar into the blood , etc. B.They said that laughter is much healthier than anger. C.Expressing anger violentl
