But that night when my dad tried to cheer me up, my laugh turned into crying.. So it came as no surprise to learn that researchers believe crying and laughing come from the same part of the brain. Just as laughing has many health advantages, scientists are discovering that so, too, does crying.Whatever it takes for us to reduce pressure is important to our emotional (情感的) health, and crying seems to study found that 85 percent of women and 73 percent of men report feeling better after crying.Besides, tears attract help from other people. Researchers agree that when we cry, people around us become kinder and friendly and they are more ready to provide support and comfort. Tears also enable us to understand our emotions better; sometimes we don't even know we' re very sad until we cry. We learn about our emotions through Crying, and then we can deal with them.Just as crying can be healthy, not crying —holding back tears of anger, pain or suffering — can be bad for physical (身体的) health, Studies have shown that too much control of emotions can lead to high blood pressure, heart problems andsome other illnesses. If you have a health problem, doctors will certainly not ask you to cry. But when you feel like crying, don't fight it. It's a natural — and healthy — emotional response (反应).53. Why didn't the author cry when her grandmother died?A. Because her father did not --ant her to feel too sad.B. Because she did not love her grandmother.C. Because she was too shy to cry at that time.D. Tie author doesn’t give the explanation.54. According to the author, which of the following statements is true?A. Crying is the best way to get help from others.B. Fighting back tears may cause some health problems.C. We will never know our deep feelings unless we cry.D. We must cry if we want to reduce pressure.55. What might be the most suitable title for the text?A. Power of TearsB. How to Keep HealthyC. Why We CryD.

Thank you from the deepest bottom of my heart!The earthquake occurred at night. We just felt the earth shook fiercely and it rose and fell sharply. Thousands of people came out of their house to find shelters! The walls of many buildings cracked and collapsed! When the earthquake was at an end, it ruined all the fortunes of the town, cutting off the supply of water and electricity! A great number of people got injured; some even were buried under the ruins! Luckily, the government called in the army and organized a lots of people to rescue the people, they sent the injured to hospital and dug out the buried, sending them to hospital too.Though the disaster causes huge damage, but after a storm comes a calm, everything here is now returning to normal, the government are preparing something to predict earthquake. By the way, I am rewarded with the honor of Brave Citizen for having helped the injured people to hospital I am excited though I wasfresh at that!How are you going? Hope to hear from you again!May everything of you go well!BThe earthquake that happened in Tangshan on July 28,1976 was recorded the greatest earthquake in the 20th century. The power of the quake was so great that two-thirds of the nation felt it and it produced an eight-kilometer-long and thirty-meter-wide crack that ran across the city, destroying everything in its course. Within fifteen minutes, the city fell into ruins. Steam could be seen rising from holes in the ground; fires were burning here and there and buildings lay in pieces. All the city’s hospitals, seventy percent of its factories and buildings and ninety percent of its homes were ruined, railways and bridges went out of use and the livestock suffered heavy losses. The number of people who were killed or injured reached more than 400,000. Many wives became widowers, husbands became bachelors and children became orphans. It was one of the most destructive natural disasters that we humans ever experienced. Earthquakes can’t be prevented or stopped but it can bepredicted. People can tell the coming of an earthquake, especially big ones, 16 through scientific equipment or by careful observation. As was the case in Tangshan, just three days before the earthquake, there were already signs that something was about to happen. The water in the village wells rose and fell for no obvious reasons and there were cracks in the walls of the village wells, out of which came smelly gases. Chickens, ducks and even pigs were too nervous to eat; fish jumped out of ponds; mice which usually stayed hidden in the fields ran out to look for places to hide. People at that time didn’t take these signs seriously just because they didn’t know what they really meant.It is very important to educate people to be careful observers. It not only helps people to make discoveries, but also save lives sometimes.VI．书面表达 (满分25分)北京市将举办主题为“Protecting Mother Earth”的中学生英语作文竞赛。

单元综合测评(四)Ⅰ.阅读理解(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)AEvery year there are hundreds of earthquakes in different parts of the world.In September, 1923，Tokyo and Yokohama were both destroyed by an earthquake and the fires that followed it.They had to be completely rebuilt.One of the most serious earthquakes was in China's Shaanxi Province in 1556.It killed almost one millionpeople. We measure an earthquake's strength on the Richter Scale.The Richter Scale was introduced in 1935 in Southern California in the USA.It measures earthquakes on a scale of one to ten.Any earthquake measuring five or more is usually serious. The Earth's crust(地壳) is made up of rock called plates.As these plates move, they sometimes crash against each other, causing the crust to quake.In cities such as Tokyo，where small quakes happen quite often, many modern buildings are designedto be flexible so when the plate moves, they move with it. Earthquakes can also break up gas and oil pipes.This can cause fires to break out, which can do as much damage as the earthquake itself.Another effect of earthquakes is tsunamis.These are huge waves created by earthquakes beneath the sea.They can be many meters high and cause great damage to coastal towns and cities.China, Japan, Russia and the USA have the highest occurrence (发生)ofearthquakes in the world.【语篇解读】本文主要讲述的是关于大自然中的一种常见的灾难——地震的具体信息等。

AA jobless man applied for the position of “office boy〞 at Microsoft. The HR manager interviewed him and then watched him cleaning the floor as a test.“You are employed，〞he said. “Give me your e­mail address and I'll send you the application to fill in, as well as date when you may start.〞The man replied, “But I don't have a computer, neither an e­mail.〞“I'm sorr y，〞said the HR manager. “If you don't have an e­mail, that means you do not exist. And who doesn't exist cannot have the job.〞The man left with no hope at all. He didn't know what to do, with only ten dollars in his pocket. He then decided to go to the supermarket and buy 10 kg tomatoes. He then sold the tomatoes from door to door. In less than two hours, he succeeded to double his capital. He repeated the operation three times, and returned home happily with 60 dollars.The man realized that he can survive in this way, and started to go every day earlier, and return late. Thus, his money doubled or tripled every day. Shortly, he bought a cart, then a truck, and then he had his own fleet of delivery vehicles. Five years later, the man is one of the biggest food retailers in the US.He started to plan his family's future and decided to have a life insurance. He called an insurance broker and chose a protection plan.When the conversation was concluded, the broker asked him his e­mail. The man replied, “I don't have an e­mail.〞The broker answered curiously, “You don't have an e­mail, and yet have succeeded to build an empire. Can you imagine what you could have been if you had an e­mail？〞The man thought for a while and replied, “Yes, I'd be an office boy at Microsoft！〞语篇解读：本文讲述了一个男子因为没有邮箱而没有获得工作。

AMy Favourite BooksJo Usmar is a writer for Cosmopolitan and coauthor of the This Book Will series of lifestyle books. Here she picks her top reads.MatildaRoald DahlI once wrote a paper on the influence of fairy tales on Roald Dahl’s writing and it gave me a new appreciation for his strange and delightful worlds. Matilda’s battles with her cruel parents and the bossy headmistress, Miss Trunchbull, are equally funny and frightening, but they’re also aspirational.After DarkHaruki MurakamiIt's about two sisters -Eri, a model who either won’t or can’t stop sleeping, and Mari, a young student. In trying to connect to her sister, Mari starts changing her life and discovers a world of diverse night people who are hiding secrets.Gone GirlGillian FlynnThere was a bit of me that didn’t want to love this when everyone else on the planet did, but the horror story is brilliant. There’s tension and anxiety from the beginning as Nick and Amy battle for your trust. It’s a real whodunit and the frustration. when you realize what’s going on is horribly enjoyable.The StandStephen KingThis is an excellent fantasy novel from one of the best storytellers around.

A hundred and forty thousand people died. Most of them died in fires which followed the earthquake.One of the worst earthquakes ever was in China in 1976. It killed a large number of people. The worst earthquake ever reported was also in China, in which 830, 000 people were killed. This earthquake happened in 1556.Earthquakes worry people a lot.

The stronger the earthquake is, the more are killed.B. Earthquakes often come unexpectedly.C. Earthquakes can cause fires.D. People still don’t know when an earthquake will come.C“Earthquake!” The word flashed in my brain. A roaring sound filled my ears. I tried to slide beneath my desk. The desk did a wild tap dance, slipping and sliding towards the centre of the room. I twisted my body and grabbed at the windowsill behind me, somehow kicking free of my dancing chair. I tried to stand. My legs skated away as if on a bucking escalator.My fingers shook, grasped and held the windowsill tightly. Somewhere through the roar sounded the terrified scream of some wounded animal. I looked behind me and tried to steady my gaze on the other kids but the scene was a dizzy nightmare. Some of the class .were sitting in the middle of the room, surrounded by chairs and desks. One girl was screaming. A boy was trying to claw his way across the floor to the door in a crazy overarm crawl.My grip froze me to the windowsill.I cried aloud, “I’m going to die. I’m going to die. Save me. I’m not ready to die. I’m not ready!”I hunched forward on my knees and pressed my face against my clenched fingers.I looked at the backs of my fingers and stupidly noticed the fragile pale hairs growing out of the pores. The fingers would soon cease to exist. Somehow the impending horror of my death was too terrible to even cry about.Suddenly, I became aware that the rocking had ceased. Perhaps I wasn’t going to die.28. The roaring sound was made by .A. a wounded animalB. people screamingC. children runningD. an earthquake29. When the narrator clenched his fingers he was .A. AfraidB. angryC. injuredD. impatient30. Paragraph 2 describes the .A. injuries suffered by the narratorB. effects of a bad nightmareC. disorder in the classroomD. narrator's fear of death31. At the end of the passage there is a feeling of his .A. panicB. hopeC. sorrowD. excitementDAngus, Doris,Gabriel and Kamil are some of the 21names that have been chosen to be given to storms in the UK in the 2016/17 season.The Met Office, the UK’s national weather service, decided to give storms boys’and girls’ names in 2015 in the same way as they did in America.The Met Office hopes that naming big storms will mean people are more aware of them and how dangerous they can be. Derrick Ryall, from the Met Office, said, “We have seen how naming storms elsewhere in the world raises people’s awareness of storms before they break.”In the past, the same UK storm could be given different names by different organisations. “We noticed that many organisations during the last couple of winters, when we have had bad storms, started giving names to them. Think back to the St Jude’s Day storm 2013, and the so-called Hurricane Bawbag in Scotland in 2011. But it led to confusion,” a Met Office spokeswoman said.According to the Met Office, there is a name for each letter of the whole alphabet,except for Q, U, X, Y and Z. That is the same as the naming tradition used in America. And not all storms will be big enough to get names only those expected to cause great damage.If there are more than 21 storms in a year, the Met Office will start again with another name beginning with “A”. However, according to Met Office spokeswoman Lindsay Mears, “It’s unlikely we would get through the whole alphabet in one season. We had 14 storms in the very bad winter of 2013/14, and if the naming system had been in operation then we wouldn’t have used the whole alphabet.32. Why are storms in the UK named?A. To increase public awareness of them.B. To remind people of their short stay.C. To follow what other countries did.D. To meet the needs of its people.33. Examples are given in Paragraph 4 to show .A. there’re many storms to name in a yearB. organisations named storms differentlyC. some storms’ names are similar to others’D. some storms' names are hard to understand34. What do we know about the names given to storms?A. Storms will be given names whatever their sizes.B. Serious storms will be given boys’ names.C.21letters will be used to begin the names.D.21 names will be given at most in a year.it35. What can be learned from Lindsay Mears?A. There are not too many big storms yearly.B. Action will be taken to prevent storms.C. There are usually 14 storms in a year.D. The naming system will not change.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人空白处的最佳选项。

He had no other 3.________ (choose), though. First Jack was to draft the speech, which was just a piece of cake for him because he was a good writer. But the hard part 4.________ (lie) in his oral presentation, for it was not allowed to read from the paper. He had to give the speech 5.________ his memory and in front of such a big audience! A real trial began when Jack stood on the platform with his legs trembling and his mind blank. He didn't know how much time had passed by. His listeners were still waiting patiently and without any signs of laughing. Gradually he found himself back, 6.________ (give) out his speech without much difficulty. After what seemed to be a hundred years, he found the audience applauding. He made 7.________！From then on, his fear of talking before the audience disappeared. Actually with his confidence 8.________ (build) up, Jack now turns out to be a great speaker. As we know, the greater difficulty we meet on our way to 9.________ (succeed), the 10.________ likely we will achieve our goals. 五、阅读理解 At your next meeting, wait for a pause in conversation and try to measure how long it lasts. Among English speakers, chances are that it will be a second or two at most. But while this pattern may be universal, our awareness of silence differs dramatically across cultures. What one culture considers a confusing or awkward pause may be seen by others as valuable moment of reflection and a sign of respect for what the last speaker has said. Research in Dutch (荷兰语) and also in English found that when silence in conversation stretches to four seconds, people start to feel uneasy. In contrast, a separate study of business meetings found that Japanese people are happy with silence of 8.2 seconds —nearly twice as long as in American meetings. In Japan, it is recognized that the best communication is when you don't speak at all. It's already a failure to understand each other by speaking because you're repairing that failure by using words. In the U ．S., it may originate from the history of colonial (殖民地的) America as a精品文档crossroads of many different races. When you have a couple of difference, it's hard to establish common understanding unless you talk and there's understandably a kind of anxiety unless people are verbally engaged to establish a common life. This applies also to some extent to London.In contrast, when there's more homogeneity, perhaps it's easier for some kinds of silence to appear. For example, among your closest friends and family it's easier to sit in silence than with people you're less well acquainted with.1. Which of the following people might have the longest silence in conversation?A. The Dutch.B. Americans.C. The English.D. The Japanese. 2．What might the Japanese agree with in conversation?A. Speaking more gives the upper hand.B. Speak out what you have in your mind.C. Great minds think alike without words.D. The shorter talking silence, the better.3. What can we learn from the text?A. A four - second silence in conversation is universal.B. It's hard for Americans to reach a common agreement.C. English speakers are more talkative than Japanese speakers.D. The closer we and our family are, the easier the silence appears.4. What does the underlined word “homogeneity” in the last paragraph mean?A. Similarity.B. Contradiction.C. Diversity.D.
