The young man will be set as a good example.CHow often one hears children wishing they were grown-ups, and, old people wishing they were young again. Each age has its pleasures and its pains, and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives him without wasting his time in useless regrets.Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities to make life difficult. If a child has good parents, he is fed, looked after and loved, whatever he may do. It is impossible that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return. Whats more, life is always giving new things to the childthings that have lost their interest for older people because they are too well known. But a child has his pains: he is not so free to do what he wishes to do; he is repeatedly being told not to do something, or being punished for what he has wrongly done.When a young man starts to earn his own living, he can no longer expect others to pay for his food, his clothes, and his room, but has to work if he wants to live comfortably. If he spends most of his time playing about in the way that he used to as a child, he will go hungry. And if he breaks the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his parents, he may go to prison. If, however, he works hard, keeps out of trouble and has good health, he can have the great happiness of building up for himself his own position in society.29What does the word responsibilities mean in Paragraph 2Aduties Bturns Cdifferences Dachievements30The main idea of the passage is that .ALife is not enjoyable since each age has some painsBYoung men can have the greatest happiness if they work hardCChildhood is the most enjoyable time in ones lifeDOne is the happiest if he can make good use of each age in his life31The paragraph following this passage will most probably discuss .AExamples of successful young menBHow to build up ones position in societyCJoys and pains of old peopleDWhat to do when one has problems in lifeDFor many years, artists have flocked to Paris, France, to paint or to learn to paint. Perhaps artists first went there because of the citys beauty. They went to paint pictures of the broad, tree-lined streets, the great churches, and the graceful river bridges.The artists felt comfortable in Paris because the people of the city had always enjoyed art. Paris had great art museums, filled with famous paintings and statues(雕像)from many countries. And the people of Paris had always welcomed new ideas. In this city, artists felt free to experiment with new ways of painting.As soon as famous artists painted in Paris, students came to learn from them. People came to buy paintings. People called art dealers set up galleries where paintings were bought and sold. Others kept shops that sold artists paints and supplies.Students and artists who were not yet famous could live in Paris for very little money. They learned by studying great art in the museums, and they learned from one another. They held art fairs（艺术博览会）, hanging their paintings outdoors along the streets.Today, New York City and Florence, Italy, are also famous art centers. But the worlds main art exhibits are still held in Paris. Important judges of art live there. Most of the new ways of painting that have started in the last hundred years began in Paris. So artists and art dealers still go to Paris because it is the worlds leading art center.32. In Pairs artists can make progress in art by doing lots of things except .A. painting the beautiful scenes of Pairs.B. visiting museums, churches and fairs.C. trying out their new ideas in the way of painting.D. buying or selling paintings in the fair.33. The story does not say so, but it makes you think that.A. Paris is famous for its artists paints and suppliesB. there is more than one way to paintC. art fairs are held in galleriesD. Florence is the center of world art exhibits34. Which of the following statement is not a reason why so many artists prefer to stay in Pairs?A. Pairs is a beautiful city.B. The French are willing to accept any new things.C. All the museums are free of charge in Pairs.D. Artists can make an easier life in Pairs.35. On the whole, this story is about.A. the worlds most famous art centerB. how to buy a painting in ParisC. the famous art centers of New York and FlorenceD. where to set up galleries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。选项中有两项为多余选项。How to Sleep BetterIf youre having trouble getting good sleep through the night (turning, waking up more than once, for example), this text will tell you what you can do to ensure a peaceful nights sleep.1.Get on schedule. Changing your sleeping time by more than an hour can severely disturb your sleep quality. 36 For example, if you normally wake up at 6 a.m on weekdays to get to work, you might go to bed around 10 p.m, because thats when you start to feel sleepy, and its also a good time to ensure 8 hours of sleep. If, on the weekend, you sleep until 9 a.m, you probably wont be able to fall asleep that night until 1 a.m.2. Be mindful of what you eat or drink before bed. 37 Digestion（消化） slows down while asleep, and a full stomach may interrupt sleep. Similarly, you should avoid going to bed on an empty stomach, as a completely empty stomach may equally disturb your sleeping patterns.3. 38 Exposure to light during the time when you are supposed to be sleeping can destroy your bodys internal clock. Turn your light off, or use a very dim（暗淡的）night light. 39 They include windows, LED clocks and computer lights.4. Change your sleeping position. You may think that its impossible to control what position you sleep in since you arent fully aware of what you are doing, but it is possible and it can make a considerable difference. 40A. Make note of unusual circumstances.B. Keep the room as dark as possible.C. Try to avoid all sources of light.D. Wait at least three hours after dinner before going to sleep.E. In other words, sudden change of sleeping time will affect your biological clock.F. If you wake up in the middle of the night, make an effort to have a comfortable position.G. Sleep is considered to be adequate only when there is no daytime sleepiness.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。I was walking down the road one day 41 my cell phone rang.
