Several new studies, however, say that it could have a lot of health benefits. When you think of forgiveness, you probably don’t think of it as being a health or medical problem. Studies from Stanford University, on the other hand, show that something like anger can change your well-being.When cartoon book characters like the Incredible Hulk get angry, they change colours and often gain special power. In the real world, anger is less obvious and may be more dangerous. That’s why Professor Fred Luskin, founder of the Stanford Forgiveness Project and author of Forgive for Good, says holding on to anger and hatred can harm your physical and mental health. Two new studies seem to show the same idea.The studies find that people who are able to forgive feel less stress, less back pain, and less depression. They also have fewer headaches, lower blood pressure, and fewer problems on sleeping.So it doesn’t matter if your anger is caused by the traffic or other things. Learning to let it go is important. Techniques such as deep breath or thought can help. Or just ask yourself if it’s worth hurting yourself by staying angry with someone else.Forgiveness does not mean that you simply accept what happened and say it’s OK. Instead, it’s a way of making peace with yourself about what happened in the past.56．The author of the passage tries to make his viewpoint clear .A．by raising his own examplesB．based on his own experienceC．by mentioning some studiesD．by mentioning some typical patients57．The example of the cartoon book characters is taken in the passage to .A．support the viewpoint that anger and hatred harm physical and mental healthB．introduce a famous expertC．let the readers know the different colours of cartoon facesD．show how to control one’s temper58．The underlined phrase “holding on to”in this passage possibly means “”A．removing B．keeping upC．getting rid of D．learning about59．Which of the following is NOT mentioned in this passage?A．People who are able to forgive feel less stress.B．People who are able to forgive feel less depression.C．People who are able to forgive have fewer problems on sleeping.D．people who are able to forgive feel less tired.60．The best title for this passage is probably .A．Forgiveness B．Forgiveness Is Good for HealthC．A Secret to Keeping Healthy D．Anger Is Bab for HealthBCanoes were made by felling large trees, letting them sit for three months or so until they were dry, and then burning the insides out of them. This process had to be carefully watched.Early people used dugout canoes. Native men would make a canoe from one tree using no metal edged tools. After felling a great tree, they hollowed it by putting rosin on one side and setting fire to it. The tree was burned in small sections and the resulting ashes were scraped out with shells. And the main body of the canoe was finally made. A large canoe could move quietly along with twenty men in it.Canoes traveled on rivers, lakes and possibly the ocean, providing the most important means of transportation. There were no beasts of burden in NorthAmerica and it is not certain if the Lenape（德拉瓦人）people used their dogs to carry things as some tribes did. What had to be transported was carried on people’s backs or in canoes. Canoes were made from the trunks of trees such as tulip trees, elms, oaks, or chestnuts. In fact, the Lenape name for the tulip tree is muxuhemenshi－“the tree of which canoes are made”. Birch bark canoes were not used in the Lenape homeland because the type of birches growing there is not suitable for canoe making.61．The underlined word “felling” in the first sentence means .A．falling B．growing C．planting D．cutting down 62．Which of the following is NOT included in the process of making a canoe?A．Scraping out the ashes with shells.B．Planting a tree.C．Burning the tree in small sections.D．Felling a great tree.63．According to the first paragraph, we can learn that .A．Cutting trees is very importantB．Letting trees get dry is the last processC．Burning the insides out of the trees had to be carefully watchedD．A large canoe could move quietly along with twenty men in it.64．It can be inferred that the things described in the passage .A．are happening in North America nowB．happened not long agoC．happened long agoD．will happen in the future65．What does the passage mainly discuss about?A．Lenape in North America.B．Tree burning.C．Transportation in North America.D．Canoe making.CAfter the face lift, the forehead tightening and the nose job, something might still show an old person’s age: his voice.For patients who think their trembly, hoarse words don’t match their newly firm face and figure, there’s a procedure that claims to make them sound younger too: the voice lift.There are two general kinds of voice lifts. In some cases, implants are inserted through an incision in the neck to bring the vocal cords(声带)closer together. Doctors also inject fat or other substances（物质）to make the cords bigger so that the voice sounds younger.The voice lift is becoming more widely known among the older people, who have tried to make themselves sound younger.“If I spoke a great deal, or I was shouting on a particular day, at the end of the day I would feel very tired,” said Robert Anzidei, 75, a retired man who had the voice lift several years ago. “I don’t know if I sound younger, but the hoarseness is gone, which is a great improvement.”The voice lift can also benefit people like performers, lawyers, teachers and telephone operators who need to have strong voices and want to take years off the sound of their voices.66．What is the voice lift in this passage?A．A kind of operation to make a patient’s voice sound younger.B．Matching a patient’s voice with his face and figure.C．Raising a patient’s voice.D．Speaking loudly.67．If one has a good voice, we can say that .A．he has implants in his neckB．his vocal cords are big and close togetherC．he has a voice liftD．he has a face lift68．The underlined words “an incisinon” here means “”.A．a sharp cut B．a kind of metalC．a voice D．a tape69．From the last paragraph, we can conclude that .A．people who get old should have voice liftsB．the vocie lift can reduce one’s ageC．performers should have voice liftsD．people who use their voices a lot need strong voices70．What is this passage mainly about?A．That the older one gets, the more possible he will get a trembly voice.B．That people should go and have a voice lift.C．A way to sound younger.D．How a voice lift is done.DThe regular use of text messages and e-mails can lower the IQ more than twice as much as smoking marijuana（大麻）. That is the claim of psychologists who have found that tapping away on a mobile phone or computer keypad or checking them for electronic messages temporarily knocks up to ten points off the user’s IQ.This rate of decline in intelligence compares unfavorably with the four-point drop in IQ associated with smoking marijuana, according to British researchers, who have labeled（把……称为）the fleeting phenomenon of enhanced stupidity as “infomania”.The noticeable drop in IQ is believed to be the result of the constant distraction of “always on” technology when employees should be concentrating on what they are paid to do. Infomania means that they lose concentration as their minds remain fixed in an almost permanent state of readiness to react to technology instead of focusing on the tasks in hand.The brain also finds it hard to deal with keeping lots of tasks in motion at once, reducing its overall effectiveness. While modern technology can have hugebenefits, excessive(过度的)use can be damaging not only to a person’s mind, but to his or her social life.Eighty volunteers took part in clinical trials on IQ damage and 1,100 adults were interviewed.More than six in ten people polled admitted that they were addicted to checking their e-mail and text messages so that they examined work-related ones even when at home or on holiday. Half said that they always responded immediately to an e-mail and one in five would interrupt a meeting to do so.Furthermore, infomania is having a negative effect on work colleagues, increasing stress and disagreeing feelings. Nine out of ten polled thought that colleagues who answered e-mails or messages during a face-to-face meeting were extremely rude. Yet one in three Britons believed that it was not only acceptable, but actually diligent and efficient to do so.71．What does the underlined part mean?A．A person’s IQ drops ten points if he or she always checks electronic messages.B．The person who has a higher IQ enjoys checking electronic messages.C．The person who has a lower IQ enjoys checking electronic messages.D．A person’s IQ is ten points higher if he or she always checks electronic messages.72．What happens to people with infmania?A．People with infomania can only concentrate on their tasks in hand.B．people with infomania are addicted to smoking marijuana.C．People with infomania can’t respond to technology immediately.D．People with infomania can’t concentrate on their tasks in hand. 73．From the passage, we can learn that .A．about 550 interviewees responded to an e-mail immediatelyB．about 670 interviewees responded to an e-mail immediatelyC．about 50 taking part in clinical trials on IQ were addicted to checking e-mailsD．about 16 taking part in clinical trials on IQ refused to answer e-mails immediately74．What is the main idea of this passage?A．The regular use of text messages and e-mails can be compared to smoking marijuana.B．Modern technology can damage a person’s mind.C．The regular use of text messages and e-mails can harm your IQ.D．Electronic messages have side effects on the user’s life.75．Which of the following is NOT mentioned?A．Smoking marijuana can lower the IQ.B．The IQ drop caused by electronic obsession（痴迷）is just like a wakeful night.C．About one-third Britons can accept that their colleagues respond to e-mails during a face-to-face meeting.D．Infomania has a bad effect on work colleagues.第二卷（共45分）第四部分写作（共两节，满分45分）第一节阅读表达（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分）This is the new trend for high school students－spending their summer vacation traveling, learning, sightseeing, and experiencing cultures overseas.◆Choosing programsThere are many different programs from which you can choose. Students may choose an adventure that lasts a week or one that lasts the entire summer vacation.They may choose programs that focus on everything from academic enrichment(充实)to outdoor adventures such as camping, rock climbing,and canoeing. Or they may pick a travel program devoted to sightseeingor daily excursions(短程旅游).◆Picking your best optionBecause short-term summer programs vary so much, it is importantto choose carfully. Even though the stay is for a short time, students and parents should research the program carefully.If you want to gain academic enrichment, check with your high school advisers before leaving. Some programs may include arranging and paying for the transportation abroad and for the excursions. Some do not. It is important to note and what services are included.◆Benefiting from the programsThe academic year program is the experience of studying abroad.Students experience holidays, schools, friends, families, and their day-to-day life all from their host countries. But sometimes it’s a good idea to begin building up to this experience by getting your feet wet first in a short-term adventure abroad.A summer excursion abroad seems to be like a honeymoon. You are not there long enough to fight with your friends or host families. Yet you are able to get a taste of what everyday life might be like.The short experience is planned so that every day is a wonderful adventure. The purpose of these programs is to see as much as possible. You will come back with the new knowledge and appreciation of your world.76．What is the best title of the passage?(Please answer within 10 words.)77．Which sentence in the passage can be replaced by the following one?It seems that a short trip abroad in summer is a little like a holiday taken bya newly married couple.78．Please fill in the blank in the fifth paragraph with proper words or phrases to complete the sentence.(Please answer within 10 words.)79．Do you think it is very helpful to spend summer vacation abroad?Why?(Please answer within 30 words.)80．Translate the underlined sentence in the first paragraph into Chinese.第二节书面表达（满分30分）假如你是学校的播音员，请代表学校用英语广播一则通知，内容如下：1、美国来访教授Smith先生要来学校作报告；2、报告题目：How to use online dictionaries to learn English；3、时间：9月30号下午3点；4、报告地点：学校报告厅；5、参加人员：所有英语教师和对此感兴趣的其他学科教师和学生；6、要求：报告后可提问，希望大家做好准备，不要迟到。
