I would return from school and spend the expected half hour recording the day’s events, feelings and impressions in my little blue diary. I did not really need to express my emotions by way of words, but I gained a certain satisfaction from seeing my experiences forever recorded on paper. After all, isn’t accumulating memories a way of preserving the past?When I was thirteen years old, I went on a long journey on foot in a great valley, well-equipped with pen, a diary and a camera. During the trip, I was busy recording every incident, name and places I came across. I felt proud to be spending my time productively, dutifully preserving for future generations a detailed description of my travels. In my last night there, I wandered out ofmy tent, diary in hand. The sky was clear and lit by the glare of the moon, and the walls of the of the valley looked threatening behind their screen of shadows. I automatically took my pen…At this point, I understood that nothing I wrote could ever match or replace the few seconds I allowed myself to experience the dramatic beauty of the valley. All I remembered of the previous few days were the dull characterization I had set down in my diary.Now, I only write in my diary when I need to write down a special thought or felling. I still love to record ides and quotations that strike me in books, or observations that are particularly meaningful. I take pictures, but not very often—only of objects I fined really beautiful. I’m no longer blindly satisfied with having something to remember when I grow old. I realize that life will simply pass me by if I stay behind the camera, busy preserving the present so as to live it in the future.I don’t want to wake up one day and have nothing but a pile of pictures and notes. Maybe I won’t have as many exact representations of people and places; maybe I’ll forget certain facts, but at least the experiences will always remain inside me. I don’t live to make memories-- just live, and the memories from themselves.51. Before the age of thirteen, the author regarded keeping a diary as a way of ＿＿＿＿.A. observing her school routineB. expressing her satisfactionC. impressing her classmatesD. preserving her history52. What caused a change in the author’s understanding of keeping a diary?A. A dull night on the journeyB. The beauty of the great valleyC. A striking quotation from a bookD. Her concerns for future generations53. What does the author put in her diary now?A. Notes and beautiful picturesB. Special thoughts and feelingsC. Detailed accounts of daily activitiesD. Descriptions of unforgettable events.54. The author comes to realize that to live a meaningful life is＿＿＿＿.A. to experience itB. to live the present in the futureC. to make a memoriesD. to give accurate representations of itBMothers and daughters go through so much—yet when was the last time a mother and daughter sat down to write a book together about it all? Peri Klass ad her mother Sheila Solomon Klass, both gifted professional writers, prove to be ideal co=writer as they examine their decades of motherhood, daughterhood, and the wonderful ways their lives have overlapped(重叠).Perri notes with amazement how closely her own life has mirrored her mother’s: both have full-time careers; both have published books, articles, and stories; each has three children; they both love to read. They also love to travel—in fact, they often take trips together. But in truth, the harder they look at their lives, the more they acknowledge their big differences in circumstance and basic nature.A child of the Depression(大萧条),Sheila was raised in Brooklyn by parents who considered education a luxury for girls. Starting with her college education, she has fought for everything she’s ever accomplished. Perri, on the other hand, grew up privileged in the New Jersey suburbs of the 1960s and 1970s. For Sheila, wasting time or money is a crime, and luxury is unthinkable while Perri enjoys the occasional small luxury, but has not been successful at trying to persuade her mother into enjoying even the tiniest thing she likes.Each writing in her own unmistakable voice, Perri and Sheila take turns exploring the joys and pains, the love and bitterness, the minor troubles and lasting respect that have always boned them together. Sheila describes the adventure of giving birth to Perri in a tiny town in Trinidad where her husband was doing research fieldwork. Perri admits that she can’t sort out all the mess in the households, even though she knows it drives her mother crazy. Together they compare thoughts on bringing up children and working, admit long-hidden sorrows, and enjoy precious memories.Looking deep into the lives they have lived separately and together, Perri and Sheila tell their mother-daughter story with honesty, humor, enthusiasm, and admiration for each other. A written account in two voices, Every Mother is a Daughter is a duet(二重奏) that produces a deep, strong sound with the experiences that all mothers and daughters will recognize.55. Why does Peri think that her own life had mirrored her mother?A. They both have gone through difficult times.B. They have strong emotional ties with each other.C. They have the same joys and pains, and love and bitterness.D. They both have experiences as daughter, mother and writer.56. The word ”luxury” is Paragraph 3 means ＿＿＿＿.A. something rare but not pleasantB. something that cannot be imaginedC. something expensive but not necessaryD. something that can only be enjoyed by boys57. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?A. The content of the bookB. The purpose of the bookC. The influence of the bookD. The writing style of the book58. How are women’s lives explored in this book?A. In a musical formB. Through field researchC. With unique writing skillsD. From different point of viewCWe’ve reached a strange—some would say unusual—point. While fighting world hunger continues to be the matter of vital importance according to recent report from the World Health Organization (WHO), more people now die from being overweight, r say, from being extremely fat, than from being underweight. It’s the good life that’s more likely to kill us these days. Worse, nearly 18 million children under the age of five around the world are estimated to be overweight. What’s going on?We really don’t have many excused for our weight problems. The dangers of the problem have been drilled into us by public-health campaign since 2001 and the message in getting through—up to a point.In the 1970s, Finland, for example, had the highest rate of heart disease in the world and being overweight was its main cause. Not any more. A public-health campaign has greatly reduced the number of heart disease deaths by 80 percent over the past three decades.Maybe that explains why the percentage of the people in Finland taking diet pills doubled between 2001 and 2005, and doctors even offer surgery of removing fat inside and change the shape of the body. That has become sort of fashion. No wonder it ranks as the world’s most body-conscious country.We know that what we should be doing to lose weight—but actually doing it is another matter. By far the most popular excuse is not taking enough exercise. More than half of us admit we lackwillpower.Others blame good food. They say: it’s just too inviting and it makes them overeat. Still others lay the blame on the Americans, complaining that pounds have piled on thanks to eating too much American-style fast food.Some also blame their parents—their genes. But fortunately, the parents are wronged because they’re normal in shape, or rather slim.It’s similar story around the world, although people are relatively unlikely to, have tried to lose weight. Parents are eager to see their kids shape up. Do as I say—not as I do.59. What is the strange point mentioned in the first sentence?A. The good life is a greater risk than the bad lifeB. Starvation is taking more people’s lives in the worldC. WHO report shows people’s unawareness of food safetyD. Overweight issue remains unresolved despite WHO’s efforts.60. Why does the author think that people have no excuse for being overweight?A. A lot of effective diet pills are available.B. Body image has nothing to do with good foodC. They have been made fully aware of its dangers.D. There are too many overweight people in the world.61. The example of Finland is used to illustrate ＿＿＿＿.A. the cause of heart diseaseB. the fashion of body shapingC. the effectiveness of a campaignD. the history of a body-conscious country62. Which would be the best title for the passage?A. Actions or Excuse?B. Overweight or Underweight?C. WHO in a DilemmaD. No Longer Dying of HungerDThe technology is great Without it we wouldn’t have been able to put a man on the moon, explore the ocean’s depth or eat microwave sausages. Computers have revolutionized out lives and they have the power to educate and pass on knowledge. But sometimes this power can create more problems than it solves.Every doctor had had to try their best to calm down patients who’ve come into their surgery waving an Internet print-out, convinced that they have some rare incurable disease, say, throat cancer. The truth is usually far more ordinary, though: they don’t have throat cancer, and it’s just that their throats are swollen. Being a graduate of the Internet ‘school’ of medicine does not guarantee accurate self-health-check.One day Mrs. Almond came to my hospital after feeling faint at work. White I took her blood sample and tried to find out what was wrong, she said calmly,” I know what’s wrong; I’ve got throat cancer. I know there’s nothing you doctors can do about it and I’ve just got to wait until the day comes.”As a matter of routine I ordered a chest X-ray. I looked at it and the blood results an hour later. Something wasn’t right. “Did your local doctor do an X-ray?” I asked. “Oh, I haven’t been to the doctor for years,” she replied,” I read about it on a website and the symptom fitted, so I knew that’s what I had.”However, some of her symptoms, like the serve cough and weight loss, didn’t fit with it—but she’d just ignored this.I looked at the X-ray again, and more tests confirmed it wasn’t the cancer but tuberculosis(肺结核)—something that most certainly did need treating, and could be deadly. She was lucky we caught it when we did.Mrs. Almond went pale when I explained she would have to be on treatment for the next six months to ensure that she was fully recovered. It was certainly a lesson for her. “I’m so embarrassed.” Shaking her head, as I explained that all the people she had come into close contact with would have to be found out and tested. She listed up to about 20, and then I wentto my office to type up my notes. Unexpectedly, the computer was not working, so I had wait until someone from the IT department came to fix it. Typical. Maybe I should have a microwave sausage while I waited?63. Mrs. Almond talked about her illness calmly because＿＿＿＿.A. she thought she knew it well.B. she had purchased medicine online.C. she graduated from a medical schoolD. she had been treated by local doctors.64. It was lucky for Mrs. Almond ＿＿＿＿.A. to have contacted many friendsB. to have recovered in a short timeC. to have her assumption confirmedD. to have her disease identified in time65.

The surveys were conducted every year from 1993-2003.Survey respondents(受访者) were asked to estimate their present and future life satisfaction on a scale of 0 to 10 among other questions.The researchers found that young adults(age 18-39) routinely overestimated their future life satisfaction, while middle-aged (40-64) more accurately predicted how they would feel in the future. Adults of 65 and older, however, were far more likely to underestimate their future life satisfaction. Not only did they feel more satisfied than they bought they would, the older pessimists seemed to suffer a lower ratio(比率) of disability and death for the study period.“ We observed that being too optimistic in predicting a better future than actually observed was associated with a greater risk of disability and a greater of death within the following decade.”wrote Frieder R. Lang, a professor at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg.Lang and his colleagues believed that people who were pessimistic about their future may be more careful about their actions than people who expected a rosy future.“Seeing a dark future may encourage positive evaluations of the actual self and may contribute to taking improved precautions(预防措施),” the author wrote.Surprisingly, compared with those in poor health or who had low incomes, respondents who enjoyed good health or income were associated with expecting a greater decline. Also, the researchers said that the higher income was related to a greater risk of disability.The author of the study noted that there were limitations to their conclusions. Illness, medical treatment and personal loss could also have driven health outcomes.However, the researchers said a pattern was clear. “We found that from early to late adulthood, individuals adapt their expectation of future life satisfaction from optimistic, to accurate, to pessimistic,” the authors concluded.67. According to the study, who made the most accurate prediction of their future life satisfaction?A. Optimistic adultB. Middle-aged adultsC. Adults in poor healthD. Adults of lower income68. Pessimism may be positive in some way because it causes people ＿＿＿＿.A. to fully enjoy their present lifeB. to estimate their contribution accuratelyC. to take measures against potential risksD. to value health more highly than wealth69. How do people of higher income see their future?A. They will earn less moneyB. They will become pessimisticC. They will suffer mental illnessD. They will have less time to enjoy life70. What is the clear conclusion of the study?A. Pessimism guarantees’ chances of survivalB. Good financial condition leads to good healthC. Medical treatment determines health outcomesD.
