But relaxation is 18 for a healthy mind and body.Stress is a 19 part of everyday life and there is no wayto 20 it. In fact, it is not the bad thing that it is often supposed to be. A 21 amount of stress is important to provide motivation and give 22 to life. It is only when the stress gets out of control 23 it can lead to poor performance and 24 health.The amount of stress a person can bear 25 very much on the individual. Some people are not afraid of stress, and such 26 are obviously chief material for managerial responsibilities. Others lose heart at the 27 of unusual difficulties. When exposed to stress,in 28 form, we react both chemically and physically. In fact we make a choice between 29 and fight. And in more ancient days the choices made the 30 between life and death. The crises (危机) we meet today are 31 to be so extreme, but however little the stress, it requires the same response. It is when such a reaction 32 long, through continued exposure to stress, that health becomes 33 . Such serious conditions as high blood pressure and heart diseaseshave 34 links with stress. 35 we cannot remove stress from our lives (it would be unwise to do so even if we could), we need to find ways to deal with it.16．A．When B．While C．Once D．As17．A．slow B．calm C．get D．turn18．A．unnecessary B．satisfied C．useful D．necessary19．A．physical B．natural C．hard D．terrible20．A．tolerate B．solve C．avoid D．accept21．A．sure B．certain C．large D．great22．A．purpose B．resource C．influence D．instruction23．A．when B．why C．that D．how24．A．ill B．good C．strong D．weak25．A．insists B．depends C．calls D．spends26．A．patterns B．personality C．situations D．characters27．A．glance B．view C．sight D．impression28．A．whichever B．whatever C．however D．whenever29．A．peace B．fright C．pressure D．heaviness30．A．decision B．promise C．difference D．choice31．A．unlikely B．likely C．necessar y D．probable32．A．continues B．lives C．stands D．lasts33．A．balanced B．injured C．endangered D．changeable34．A．established B．achieved C．found D．developed35．A．Unless B．Since C．Because D．As第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题，每题2分，满分40分）ASince the making in 201486 of the Domesday Survey, a detailed compilation(编纂) that enabled the earliest reasonable estimate of England’s population to be made (the survey did not cover other areas),the number of people has been increasing. This growth has continued despite some setbacks, by far the most serious of which was the Black Death in the mid-14th century, in which it is estimatedthat about one third of the population died. There is little concrete information, however, concerning variation in rates of births to deaths and of immigration to emigration until 1801,when the first official census(人口普查) was taken．The assumption is that a population of about two million lived in what became the United Kingdom at the end of the 11th century and that this figure had increased to about 12 million by 1801. This slow growth rate, in contrast with that of more modern times, resulted mainly from thefact that a high birth rate was accompanied by an almost equally high death rate．It is estimated that in the first half of the 18th century three quarters of the children born in London died before they reached adolescence．Despite the awful living conditions it produced, the Industrial Revolution resulted in an acceleration of the birth rate; gradually the greater medical knowledge, improved nutrition, and concern for public health that characterized the 19th and 20th centuries bore fruit in a lower death rate and an overall increase in population. Since the 1930s the population hasexperienced a complete cycle in its pattern of growth．A low rate of increase during the 1930s was followed by a postwar marriage boomthat gave rise to an acceleration in the rate of growth, reaching a peak during the mid-1960s. Since 1964, a considerable fall in the birth rate has brought about a dramatic decline in growth, evengiving rise to an absolute decline between 1974 and 1978.36. Which of the following statements is true as to the Domes Day Survey?A It was made in 201486 to show the variation in population growth in England.B It was a compilation that first gave an estimation of the population of England.C It gave an account of the Black Death in the mid-14th century.D It studied the relation of birth rate to death rate.37．In 1801, it was discovered that _________.A. one third of the population died in the Black DeathB. the population had increased rapidly due to higher rates of birth and immigrationC. the population had grown very slowly since 201486D. 2014 million children had been born since 20148638. The population growth in England began to increase rapidly_______.A. since 1801 when the first official census was takenB. in the 18th century when industrial revolution beganC. in the 19th century when death rate was greatly reducedD. in the 1930s before the world war Ⅱ broke out39. The growth rate of population reached the highest point ________.A. in the1930sB. during mid-1960sC. between 1964 and 1967D. between 1974 and 1978BWhile researchers have long shown that tall people earn more than their shorter counterparts, it's not only social discrimination that accounts for this inequality -- tall people are just smarter than their height-challenged peers, a new study finds."As early as age three -- before schooling has had a chance to play a role -- and throughout childhood, taller children perform significantly better on cognitive tests," wrote Anne Case and Christina Paxson of Princeton University in a paper published by the National Bureau of Economic Research.The findings were based primarily on two British studies that followed children born in 1958 and 1970, respectively, through adulthood and a U.S. study on height and occupational choice.Other studies have pointed to low self-esteem, better health that accompanies greater height, and social discrimination as culprits(罪犯) for lower pay for shorter people.But researchers Case and Paxson believe the height advantage in the job world is more than just a question of image."As adults, taller individuals are more likely to select into higher paying occupations that require more advanced verbal and numerical skills and greater intelligence, for which they earn handsome returns," they wrote.For both men and women in the United States and the United Kingdom, a height advantage of four inches equated with a 2014 percent increase in wages on average.But the researchers said the differences in performance crop up long before the tall people enter the job force. Prenatal care(产前护理) and the time between birth and the age of 3 are critical periods for determining future cognitive ability and height."Prenatal care and prenatal nutrition are just incredibly important, even more so than we already knew," Case said in an interview.Since the study's data only included populations in the United Kingdom and the United States, the findings could not be applied to other regions, Case said.And how tall are the researchers?They are both about 5 feet 8 inches tall, well above the average height of 5 feet 4 inches for American women.40. What can be learnt from the study of Anne Case and Christina Paxson is that ______ .A. the reason for lower pay for shorter people is socialdiscriminationB. taller children perform significantly better on cognitive testC. tall people earn more than shorter counterpartsD. prenatal care and prenatal nutrition are less important than we already knew41. Which period is the most important for determining futurecognitive ability and height?A. between age 3 and schoolingB. between birth and the age of 3C. the whole childhoodD. between 1958 and 197042. The underlined phrase “crop up” in the Eighth Paragraph is closest in meaning to ______.A. get inB. rise upC. come upD. stand up43. The best title for this passage would be _______.A. Tall people earn more than shorter counterpartsB. A study on height and occupational choiceC. The difference between tall people and short peopleD. Taller people are smarterCStudents’ InsuranceWhat Is Covered under Contents?Under the “Contents” sectio n your possessions – which youdo not have to be listed—will be protected on a “new for old ” basis where items will be replaced as new—regardless of their age or condition.“Contents ” include books, radios, audio and video players, TVs, jewellery, home computers, furniture, household goods, otherelectrical equipment and sports equipment.

AOur town is in the eastern part of our country. Once a year, we elect a girl to show how beautiful and great our town is. All the girls are eager to get this position in an effort to become popular.It was not an easy choice this year, since there were eight girls to choose from. The elder judge finally decided that either Sara or May would get the position. Both girls were beautiful with extraordinary appearance. Besides, they had a good education and cared about how pollution had a bad effect on the earth. Most important ,both girls got up early to eat eggs at their breakfast .Eggs were important to people of the east because our economy depended mainly on the production of eggs.“Either girl will win,” my father said. “But someone will cry in the end.”“Either will be fine,” I said. “They are both great girls.”The final round was held at the east edge of our town. Sara lived nearby so she did not need to get up early to arrive. However, she was the first person there. “You know what they say about the early bird,” she said with a smile.However, May arrived fifteen minutes late to the competition. “It’s the taxi driver’s fault,” she said. “I told him to head east ,but he was in one ear and thought I said Bread Cheese .” You know, Bread Cheese was the name of our neighboring town.I thought May would certainly lose because she was late ,but to my surprise ,she turned out to be this year’s winner .The judges liked her answer to their last question, “If you could have anything in the world, what would it be ?” Sara had replied, “World peace.” May ,on the other hand ,said, “Better market to have our eggs sell well.”21．Why was it difficult to make a choice this year?A．The girls just looked alike.B．People had to choose from eight girls.C．All the girls wanted to get the position.D．The judges couldn’t agree with each other.22．In the passage the underlined sent ence “You know what they say about the early bird.” means .A．she liked the early bird very muchB．she was sure that she would succeedC．she lived nearby ,so she should get there earlyD．she wanted to show off her good language knowledge23．Why was May chosen in the end?A．Because her answer was cleverer and exact.B．Because she gave a different answer from Sara’sC．Because she looked more beautiful than the other girl.D ．Because her answer was more practical than the other girl.24．According to the passage ,which of the following maps is correct?our country our town the site for final round Bread CheeseBSunshine is a great film, which takes us on a voyage into space when mankind is in danger.In 2057, our Sun is dying and mankind faces extinction. A spaceship named Icarus Ⅱ, carries an enormous bomb to return life to the dying star.As the movie begins, the spacecraft is approaching the Sun. Suddenly, the operating system is out of control ；then the crew receive a frightening signal from the original Icarus Ⅰ which was sent to carry out the same task seven years ago. Should the crew continue flying to the Sun in the endangered ship? The question is not so much about whether any crew member can survive —the chances of that hardly exist —but should they try to grab the other bomb in Icarus Ⅰ and take it to the Sun? Two shots （尝试）at saving mankind are obviously better than one.After the decision is made, a crew member makes a mistake that places the mission in extreme danger. More accidents occur, and the crew face a difficult situation ：there isn’t enough oxygen for them on the ship. Among the most exciting scenes is a space walk by Capa and Kaneda when the ship’s shield （防护罩）is damaged and must be inspected and repaired.Then when docked with （对接）Icarus Ⅰ, the crew find it will be difficult for them to achieve the goal of the voyage. The film reaches its climax when the computer in Icarus Ⅰ detects the presence of an unknown crew member.Indeed, the major task of the flight is to take back the world by restarting the failing Sun. However, Sunshine also makes clear the psychological and physical danger of space travel.25. The purpose of the spaceship Icarus Ⅰis to .A. help the crew on Icarus ⅡB. save the Sun from dyingC. experience possible dangers of space travelD. take people on a voyage into space26. Why do Capa and Kaneda take a space walk?A. They want to appreciate the view of the space.B. They have to fix their spaceship.C. They try to dock with Icarus Ⅰ.D. They plan to grab the bomb in Icarus Ⅱ.27. What’s the author’s attitude towards “Sunshine”？A. Indifferent.B. Favorable.C. Prejudiced.D. Negative.28. In which part of a magazine can we read the passage？A. Entertainment.B. Science.C. Medicine.D. News.CWe continue our Foreign Student Series on higher education in the United States. Now we move on to college life once you are admitted to a school. The first thing you need to value is a place to live. Housing policies differ from school to school. Students might have to live in a dormitory, at least for the first year there.Dorms come in all sizes. Some have suites. Six or more students may line in one suite. Other dorms have many rooms along a common hallway, usually with two students in each room . Many students say dormitories provide the best chance to get to know other students. Also, dorms generally cost less than apartments or other housing not owned by the school.Most colleges and universities offer singe-sex dorms, but usually males and females live in the same building. They might live on the same floors and share the same common bathrooms. They may live in the same room only if they are married.Edward Spencer is the associate vice president for student affairs at Virginia Tech in Blacksburg. He says it is important to understand the rules of the building in which you will live. He advises students to ask questions before they decide about their housing. For example, if a student requires a special diet, will the school provide it ?How much privacy can a student expect ? Will the school provide a single room if a student requests one ? And what about any other special needs that a student might have?Virginia Tech, for example, had a ban against candles in dorms . But it changed that policy to let students light up candles for religious purposes. The university also has several dorms open all year so foreign students have a place to stay during vacation time.29 .Why do some students in the U.S. choose to live in dorms, according to the passage ?A. Dorms allow students in the U.S. choose to live in dormsB. Dorms are safer for students to live in most cases.C. Dorms offer the chance to meet other people and are cheap as well.D. In most schools students are required to live in the dorms.30. The second paragraph is mainly about ______.A. what suites in American schools are likeB. what dorms in American schools are likeC. what dorms are owned by schoolsD. when people get to know each other31. We can infer from what Edward Spencer says that ______.A. colleges usually don’t provide a special dietB. housing rules differ from one building to anotherC. a ban against candles in dorms is necessaryD. the U.S. college always satisfies students’ requests32 .What is the passage mainly about ?A. Places to live in U.S. collegesB. housing polices in the U.S.C. Advantages of dormitoriesD. Rules of single-sex dormsDHere is the tour that’s voted “3rd best tour in London” on the Best Things to Do Trip Advisor!
