(30%)(A) How to Fight Winter BlueWinters short days are more than cold. For many people, winter depression, the most common type of Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), is as much a part of the season as hats and scarves.Winter serious SAD sufferers may need medical treatment. Those feeling a little blue can help themselves by sticking to a healthy lifestyle.Here are some tips:Pace yourself. Dont expect to do everything you normally can. Set a realistic schedule. Dont listen to negative thinking, like blaming yourself or expecting to fail.Get involved in activities that make you feel good or feel like youve achieved something. For example, play table tennis or badminton.If you are feeling depressed, you may feel like staying away from friends. Yet this is a time when friends support can be helpful. Call them regularly. Remember, the more we put off calling or visiting a friend, the harder it is to rebuild a friendship.Think clearly about whats wrong or right. Instead of giving in to vague feelings of sadness, look at your problems objectively. Break down problems into specific issues that you can work on.Regular exercise helps to prevent and ease depression.Eat well. Studies show that a healthy diet can help to maintain (keep) a healthy body and mind. The vitamins, minerals and micronutrients found in balanced diet may help our bodies to produce feel-good hormones(荷尔蒙). Foods containing chemicals to help produce feel-good hormones include bananas, turkey, nuts and seeds. Eat at least five pieces of fruit and vegetables every day.P.S. Symptoms(症状) of SAD:No interest or pleasure in things you used to enjoy.Increased need for sleep.A change in eating habits, especially an appetite for sweet or starchy(含淀粉的) foods.Weight gainA heavy feeling in the arms or legsA drop in energy levelDifficulty in concentratingOverly emotionalAvoidance of friends and social situationsFrequent feelings of guiltLong-term feelings of hopelessness, and physical problems, such as headaches1The writer of the passage agrees that .Athe cold in winter makes us suffer from SADBhats and scarves protect us from SADCevery one of us meets SAD in winterDwe are blue mainly because of short days in winter2We may infer that , according to the passage.Amore darkness will make us sadBwe should wear hats and scarves in winterCa healthy lifestyle prevents us from serious SADDstaying away from friends makes us depressed3When we pace ourselves, we .Adont do anything we can Bmake a practical planCface depression easily Dthink something of guilt4The underlined expression “ease depression” in the passage probably means “ ”Areduce depression Bbe easy with depressionCface depression easily Dmake an easy depression5The passage includes the following except .Athe earlier we meet friends, the easier it is to rebuild a friendshipBif we give in to unclear feelings of sadness, well be caught in the SADCplaying table tennis helps us achieve whatever we wantDfeel-good hormones from a balanced diet can help a healthy body(B)When we see well, we do not think about our eyes very often. It is only when we cannot see perfectly that we realize how important our eyes are.People who are near-sighted can only see things that are very close to their eyes. Everything else seems blurry (unclear). Many people who do a lot of work, such as writing, reading and sewing become near-sighted.People who are far-sighted suffer from just the opposite problem. They can see things that are far away, but they have difficulty in reading a book unless they hold it at arms length. If they want to do much reading, they must get glasses, too.Other people do not see clearly because their eyes are not exactly the right shape. They have what is called astigmatism (散光). This, too, can be corrected by glasses. Some peoples eyes become cloudy because of cataracts (白内障). Long ago these people often became blind. Now, however, it is possible to operate on the cataracts and remove them.Having two good eyes is important for judging distances. Each eye sees things from a slightly different angle. To prove this to yourself, look at an object out of one eye; then look at the same object out of your other eye. You will find the objects relation to the background and other things around it has changed. The difference between these two different eye views helps us to judge how far away an object is. People who have only one eye cannot judge distance as people with two eyes.6. We should take good care of our eyes _ .A. only when we can see wellB. only when we cannot see perfectlyC. even if we can see wellD. only when we realize how important our eyes are7. When things far away seem indistinct(模糊不清) , one is probably _ .A. near-sighted B. far-sightedC. astigmatic D. suffering from cataracts8. The underlined word “suffer” in the third paragraph probably means _ .A. experience B. imagineC. feel pain D. are affected with9. Having two eyes instead of one is particularly useful for _ .A. seeing at night B. seeing objects far awayC. looking over a wide area D. judging distances10. People who suffer from astigmatism have _ .A. one eye bigger than the otherB. eyes that are not exactly the right shapeC. a difficulty that can be corrected by an operationD. an eye difficulty that cannot be corrected by glasses(C)The word “conservation” has a thrifty（节俭）meaning. To conserve is to save and to protect, to leave what we ourselves enjoy in such good condition that others may also share the enjoyment. Our forefathers had no idea that human population would increase faster than the supplies of raw materials; most of them, even until very recently, had the foolish idea that the treasures were “limitless” and “inexhaustible”. Most of the citizens of earlier generations knew little or nothing about the complicated and delicate system that runs all through nature, and which means that, as in a living body, an unhealthy condition of one part will sooner or later be harmful to all the others.Fifty years ago nature study was not part of the school work; scientific forestry was a new idea; wood was still cheap because it could be brought in any quantity from distant woodlands; soil destruction and river floods were not national problems; nobody had yet studied long-term climatic cycles in relation to proper land use; even the word “conservation” had nothing of the meaning that it has for us today.For the interests of ourselves and those who will come after us, we must now set about repairing the mistakes of our forefathers. Conservation should, therefore, be made a part of everyones daily life. To know about the water table（水位）in the ground is just as important to us as a knowledge of the basic arithmetic formulas. We need to know why all watersheds（上游源头森林地带集水区）need the protection of plant life and why the running current of streams and rivers must be made to yield ( produce ) their full benefit to the soil before they finally escape to the sea. We need to be taught the duty of planting trees as well as of cutting them. We need to know the importance of big nature trees, because living space for most of mans fellow creatures on this planet is figured not only in square measure of surface but also in cubic volume（容积量）above the earth. In brief, it should be our goal to restore as much of the original beauty of nature as we can.11. According to the author the greatest mistake of our forefathers was that _.A. they had no idea about scientific forestryB. they had little or no sense of environmental protectionC. they did not realize the importanceD. they had no idea of how to make good use of raw materials12. It can be inferred from the passage that earlier generations didnt realize _.A. the interdependence（相互依存）of water, soil, and living thingsB. the importance of the proper land useC. the harmfulness of soil destruction and river floodsD. the extraordinary rapid growth of population13. With a view to correcting the mistakes of our forefathers, the author suggests that _.A. we plant more treesB. our forefathers be taught environmental science, as well as the science of plantsC. environmental education be directed toward everyoneD. we return to nature14. What does the author imply（express indirectly）by saying “living space for most of mans fellow creatures on this planet is figured not only in square measure of surface but also in cubic volume（容积量）above the earth.”?A. Our living space on the earth is getting smaller and smaller.B. Our living space should be measured in cubic volume.C. We need to take some measures to protect space.D. We must create better living conditions for both birds and animals.15. The underlined word “restore” probably is closest to the meaning of “_”.A. put back B. bring back C. keep D. protect第二卷.
