Feel tired lately?Has a doctor said he can’t find anything wrong with you?Perhaps he sends you to a hospital,but all the advanced equipment there shows there is nothing wrong with you.Then,consider this:you might be in a state of sub-health(亚健康).Sub-health,also called the third state or gray state,is explained as borderline state between health and disease.According to the investigation by the National Organization,over 45 percent of sub-health people are middle-a ged or elderly.The percentage is even higher among people who work in management positions as well as students around exam-week.Symptoms(征兆)include a lack of energy,depression,slow reactions,insomnia(失眠),agitation, and poor memory.Other symptoms include shortness of breath,sweating and aching in the waist and legs.The key to preventing and recovering from su b-health,according to some medical experts,is to form good living habits, alternate work and rest, exercise regularly,and take part in open air activities.As for meals,people are advised to eat less salt and sugar.They should also eat more fresh vegetables,fruits,fish because they are rich in nutritional elements—vitamins and trace elements(微量元素)—that are important to the body.Nutrition experts point out that it is not good to eat too much at one meal because it may cause unhealthy changes in the digestive tract(消化道).They also say that a balanced diet is very helpful in avoiding sub-health.1.When you are in a state of sub-health,you should ________.A .stay home and keep silentB. go to a doctor and buy some medicineC. not consider it very seriousD. find out the reasons and relax yourself提示:从全文可以看出,亚健康是身体对压力、疲劳的一种反应,即使最先进的仪器也查不出病因。

It was a lazy morning during the Christmas week. We were enjoying breakfast whenthe doorbell rang.

My children went inside and brought some 3 for her. This kind of incident happens very often in my hometown, 4 during Christmas.From where I was seated, I could see her clearly. She looked about ten years oldand she wore a dress too big for her. She spoke in a 5 voice and looked atme straight in the eye. Something made me get up and 6 her.In answer to my questions, she said that her mother made hoppers and she 7 them before going to school. But the hopper money was not adequate to 8 the list; therefore, she was going from house to house asking for help.Her voice told me the story; her eyes told me that it was 9 . I said I'dbuy her what was on the list.We drove to a nearby bookstore. She sat 10 , with a strange look on her face. When the clerk was taking all the things on the list, the little girl kept staringas if confused. Perhaps she had never 11 so many new things before. They were merely exercise books, pencils, pens and such things. She whispered her 12 to us. Strange, I hadn't been aware that giving such 13 things to one in need, could bring me such a lot of happiness.As we drove back, I could see the little girl in the mirror. All the gifts I had given in my life never 14 up a face so much. She was grasping the parcel, smilingto herself. The total event made us all very 15 .

Tim Richter and his wife, Linda, had taught for over 30 years near Buffalo, New York--he in computers, she in special education. "Teaching means everything to us," Tim w ould say. In April1998, he learned he would need a heart operation. It was the kind of news that leads to some serious thinking about life's purpose.Not long after the surgery, Tim saw a brochure describing Imagination Library, a program started by Dolly Parton' s foundation (基金会) that mailed a book every month to children from birth to age five in the singer's home town of Sevier, Tennessee. “I thought, maybe Linda and I could do something like this when we retire," Tim recalls. He placed the brochure on his desk, "as a reminder."Five years later, now retired and with that brochure still on the desk, Tim clicked on imagination library .com. The program had been opened up to p artners who could take advantage of book and postage discounts.The quality of the books was of great concern to the Richter. Rather than sign u p online, they went to Dolly wood for a look-see. “We didn’t want to give the children rubbish,” says Linda. The books-reviewed each year by teachers, literacy specialists and Dolly wood board m embers-included classics such as Ezra Jack Keats’s The Snowy Day and newer books like Anna Dewdney’s Llama Llama series.Satisfied, the couple set up the Richter Family Foundation and got to work. Since 2004, they have shipped more than 12,200 books to preschoolers in their in their area. Megan Williams, a mother of four, is more than appreciative: “This program introduces us to books I’ve never heard of.”The Richter spend about $400 a month sending books to 200 children. “Some people sit there and wait to die,” says Tim. “Other s get as busy as they can in the time they have left.”( ) 1.What led Tim to think seriously about the meaning of life?A. His health problem.B. His love for teaching.C. The influence of his wife.D. The news from the Web.( ) 2.What did Tim want to do after learning about Imagination Library?A. Give out brochures.B. Do something similar.C. Write books for childrenD. Retire from being a teacher.( ) 3.According to the text, Dolly Parton is .A. a well-known surgeonB. a mother of a four-year-oldC. a singer born in Tennessee D .a computer programmer( ) 4.Why did the Richter go to Dolly wood?A. To avoid signing up online.B. To meet Dolly wood board members.C. To make sure the books were the newest.D. To see if the books were of good quality.( ) 5.What can we learn from Tim’s words in the last paragraph?A. He needs more money to help the children.B. He wonders why some people are so busy.C. He tries to save those waiting to die.D. He considers his efforts worthwhile.【文章大意】文章通过介绍Richter夫妇从接触一个名为Imagination Library的项目到成立自己的基金会的历程并找到生活的真正价值【参考答案】1---5、ADCDD阅读理解。

AWith my hands and knees on the floor of the airplane, I was searching for an old lady’s missing hearing aid during the flight from Sydney to Los Angeles. It occurred to me that this may not be the most dignified posture for a Buddhist nun(尼姑).I had seen the old lady from the seat in front of me as she walked up and down the passage with a flashlight. I asked a few times what was wrong, but she didn’t answer at first —she couldn’t hear me. She was wearing a woolen coat. Judging from her accent, she came from Eastern Europe.Do you know what hearing aids cost? Thousands, especially for the new tinyhidden-in-the-ear type she described. It takes a long time for an appointment to make a new one, and many doctor visits to get the thing adjusted right. Therefore, my dignity seemed less important than finding that hearing aid. But how does one find a tiny black object in a shadowy jet cabin(机舱)?The lady wasn’t even sure where or when she had lost it. At one point, a couple of flight attendants did a random search around the lady’s seat; I wasn’t impressed. They left suggesting that she search the seat of her previous flight! My flashlight turned up all kinds of small objects, bits of plastic, broken pieces of headphones.The old lady said that she gave up. Yet I couldn’t. After we landed, as passengers streamed past us, I insisted that the lady move aside while awaiting her wheelchair. Then I got into a real down and dirty search among the dust under her seat and on the floor.Look! A little peanut-sized shiny black object caught the light of my flashlight in a floor crack near her seat.What a rush. “I found it!”With great astonishment and gratitude, the old lady responded, “I haven’t the words to express my thanks!”1.Why did the author put her hands and knees on the floor?A. She is a religious Buddhist nun.B. She fell down from her seat.C. She helped the old lady look for her hearing aid.D. She wanted to stand out among the passengers.2.Where was the hearing aid found?A. On the previous flight.B. Close to the old lady’s seatC. On the wheelchair.D. In another jet cabin.3.According to the last two parag raphs, what is the old lady’s attitude towards the author?A. RespectfulB. DoubtfulC. SupportiveD. Grateful4.What is the purpose of the passage?A. To tell us a story about kind help.B. To warn us to be more careful.C. To teach us how to find the lost thing.D. To present the love from all people on board.BA new chapter in space exploration has been opened up after NASA confirmed that their mission to bomb the Moon had found “significant quantities” of frozen water. Scientists said the “exciting” findings had gone “beyond expectations” as fully formed ice was found in a crater on the planet. The water was found in one mile high dust that was kicked up by the Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite(LCOSS) last month when it crashed into the Cabeus crater near the Moon’s south pole.“Indeed, yes, we found water. And we didn’t find just a little bit, we found a significant amount,”said Anthony Colaprete, project scientist and principal investigator for the $49 million space mission.“This is a great day for science and exploration,”said Doug Cooke, associate administrator of NASA. “The remarkable results have gone beyond our expectations. It is incredibly exciting.”The identification of water-ice is important for purely scientific reasons, but also because a supply of water on the Moon would be a vital resource for future human exploration. The findings, which completely contradict previous beliefs that the Moon was a dry place, justify the controversial(有争议的)mission. Over the last decade, scientists have found some hints of underground ice on the Moon’s poles, mainly in the form of compounds of hydrogen(氢) but this is the best evidence yet.The discovery is expected to have major implications for the future of lunar exploration, and a ready supply of water could help set up lunar bases or launch missions to Mars. MrColaprete said that it should be possible to purify the water for drinking even though it appeared to be mixed with poisonous methanol(甲醛).5.Which of the following is TRUE of the “bombing”?A. It damaged the Moon surface severely.B. It would do harm to the space environment.C. It confirmed the existence of water on the Moon.D. It would help the research on Mars.6.Why is the finding of water on the Moon so important?A. Because people on the earth use more and more water.B. Because in the future lots of people will live on the Moon.C. Because the water will be a supply for future human exploration in space.D. Because the water is mixed with poisonous methanol.7.How is the whole text developed?A. Providing some facts.B. Following the order of space.C. Making comparisons.D. Analyzing causes.8.Which of the following is the best title of the text?A. Water Found on the Moon after NASA “Bombing”B. Unbelievable Space ResearchC. Possible Base on the MoonD. Mysterious Water Found on the MoonCSeveral hundred strangers received “love letters” from a young man on the street. The letter was written and given out by Yang Yang, a student majoring in human resources at Chongqing University of Science and Technology, who hoped to show his disappointmentwith job hunting.Yang’s story has caught media attention perhaps because it is similar to those of millions of recent graduates seeking jobs and struggling for survival in the country’s wealthiest cities. They have diplomas, rather than professional skills, and come to big cities in hopes of better lives, only to find low-paying jobs and poor living conditions. They are China’s “ant tribe(蚁族)”, a term coined by sociologist Lian Si from Peking University in his 2009 book Ant Tribe.“They’re so similar to ants. They share small and narrow living areas. They’re intelligent and hard-working, yet nameless and underpaid.”The term also speaks to their helplessness in a world governed by the law of the jungle —only the strongest survive.A survey in Lian’s another book published this year, Ant Tribe 2, found nearly 30 percent of “ants”are graduates of famous universities—almost three times last year’s percentage. Most had degrees in popular majors. In addition, 7.2 percent of “ants” have at least a master’s degree compared to 1.6 percent in 2009.An “ant’s”average monthly salary is 1,904 yuan, with about 64 percent of them earning less than 2,000 yuan a month.Another survey in the 2010 Annual Report on the Development of Chinese Talent found more than 1 million “ants” live in big cities.“Most ants are from rural families or small towns, and their experiences in universities didn’t arm them well enough to fight with competitors in big cities’employment markets,”Professor Zhang Ming at Renmin University of China said.The “ant tribe’s”embarrassing living situations have become a serious social problem, and the government should develop smaller cities to attract more graduates from big cities, Zhang believed.However, “ants” expect more study and training opportunities in big cities, which keeps them positive despite their situations.9.Yang’s story is introduced in order to ________.A. analyze graduates’ difficulties in finding jobsB. lead to the topic of the article—”ant tribe”C. tell readers a story about those big citiesD. show a clever way of dealing with pressure10.Why do the “ants” fail to find high-paying jobs ?A. Because they have no diplomas from good universitiesB. Because their majors do not meet the needs of societyC. Because those from rural areas are not treated equallyD. Because they do not have necessary professional skills11.Professor Zhang thought “ants” problems could be solved by ________.A. creating more jobs for graduates in big citiesB. developing smaller cities to attract graduatesC. sending graduates to rural areas and small townsD. training graduates to improve their ability12. By writing this article, the author mainly intends to show ________.A. Despite better education, “ants” are still strugglingB. Despite difficulties, “ants” have a promising futureC. Better education, better job opportunitiesD. Ant Tribe is a good book to help understand today’s ChinaDDear Friend,The recent success of children's books has made the general public aware that there's a huge market out there.And there's a growing need for new writers trained to create the $3 billion worth of children's books bought each year plus stories and articles needed by over 650 publishers of magazines for children and teenagers.Who are these needed writers? They're ordinary folks like you and me.But am I good enough?I was once where you might be now. My thoughts of writing had been pushed down by self-doubt, and I didn't know where to turn for help.Then, I accepted a free offer from the Institute to test my writing aptitude(潜能), and it turned out to be the inspiration I needed.The promise that paid offThe Institute made the same promise to me that they will make to you, if you show basic writing ability:You will complete at least one manuscript(手稿) suitable to hand in to a publisher by the time you finish our course.I really didn't expect any publication before I finished the course, but that happened.I sold three stories. And I soon discovered that was not unusual at the Institute.Since graduation, I have authored 34 nationally published children's books and over 300 stories and articles.Free test and brochureWe offer a free aptitude test and will send you a copy of our brochure describing our recognized home-study courses on the basis of one-on-one training.Realize your writing dream today. There's nothing sadder than a dream delayed until it fades forever.Sincerely,Kristi Holl, InstructorInstitute of Children's Literature13. From the first three paragraphs, we learn that ________.A. children’s books are usually bestsellersB. publishers are making $3 billion each yearC. magazines for teenagers have drawn public attentionD. there is a growing need for writers of children's books14. When finishing the course, you are promised to________.A. be a successful publisherB. become a confident editorC. finish one work for publicationD. be an excellent writer15. Kristi Holl mentions her experience mainly to________.A. prove she is a good instructorB. promote the writing programC. give her advice on course preparationD. show she sold more stories than article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入空白处的最佳选项。

There were smiling children all the way. Charily they knew at what time the train passed their homes and they made it their business to stand along the railway, wave to complete strangers and cheer them up as they rushed towards Penang. Often whole families stood outside their homes and waved and smiled as if those on the trains were their favorite relatives. This is the simple village people of Malaysia. I was moved.I had always traveled to Malaysia by plane or car, so this was the first time I was on a train. I did not particularly relish the long train journey and had brought along a dozen magazines to read and reread. I looked about the train. There was not one familiar face. I sighed and sat down to read my Economics.It was not long before the train was across the Causeway and in Malaysia. Johor Bauru was just another city like Singapore, so I was tired of looking at the crowds of people as they hurried past. As we went beyond the city, I watched the straight rows of rubber trees and miles and miles of green. Then the first village came into sight, Immediately I came alive; I decided to wave hack.From then on my journey became interesting. I threw my magazines into the waste basket and decided to join in Malaysian life. Then everything came alive. The mountains seemed to speak to me. Even the trees were smiling. I stared at everything as if I was looking at it for the first time.The day passed fast and I even forgot to have my lunch until I felt hungry. I looked at my watch and was surprised that it was 3:00 pm. Soon the train pulled up at Butterworth. I looked at the people all around me. They all looked beautiful. When my uncle arrived with a smile, I threw my arms around him to give him a warm hug (拥抱). I had never done this before. He seemed surprised and then his weather-beaten face warmed up with a huge smile. We walked arm in arm to his car.I looked forward to the return journey.( ) 1.
