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。

Recently a test was given in the United States.Those tested included people of different ages, from 12 to 83. During the experiment, these people were given all kinds of breakfasts, and sometimes they got no breakfast at all. Special tests were set up to see how well their bodies worked when they had eaten a certain kind of breakfast. The results show that if a person eats a proper breakfast, he or she will work with better effect than if he or she has no breakfast. This fact appears to be especially true if a person works with his brains. If a student eats fruit, eggs, bread and milk before going to school, he will learn more quickly and listen with more attention to class.Opposite to what many people believe, if you don't eat breakfast, you will not lose weight. Thisis because people become so hungry at noon that they eat too much for lunch, and end up gaining weight instead of losing. You will probably lose more weight if you reduce your other meals.51.During the test, those who were tested were given ________.A.no breakfast at allB.very rich breakfastC.little food for breakfastD.different breakfast or none52.The results of the test show that ________.A.breakfast has great effect on work and studiesB.breakfast has little to do with a person s workC.a person will work better if he has a simple breakfastD.those working with brains should have much for breakfast53.The passage mentions that many people believe that if you don't eat breakfast, you will_________.A. lose weightB. not lose weightC. be healthierD. gain a lot of weight54.Which of the following is not true according to the passage?A.Poor breakfasts affect those who work with brains.B.Morning diet may cause one to get fatter.C.Reducing lunch and supper is of less value in weight losing.D.Eating less in lunch and supper may help to lose weight.55.According to the passage, if a student does not eat breakfast, ___________.A. he will fall illB. he will fail to listen to his teacherC. he will not make progress in his studyD. his mind will work more slowlyBA young woman carrying a three-year-old child got on a bus. The conductor hurried to giveher a warm welcome and then kindly asked the other passengers to make more room for the woman and her child. On seeing this, people began to talk. "You know this conductor used to be very rude. Now suddenly he has changed his bad behavior , "said a middle-aged man."Yes, he should be praised and we must write a letter to the company," said a second passenger. "That's right," another lady said, "I wish a newspaper reporter were here so that more people could learn from this conductor. "Just then a gentleman who looked like a teacher turned to the conductor and said , "Excuse me, but can I know your name, please? Your excellent service must be praised..."Before he could open his mouth, the three-year-old child sitting on the young woman's lap interrupted, "I know his name. I call him Dad."56.The passengers were ________ to see the conductor's kindness to the woman and the child.A. excitedB. pleasedC. interestedD. surprised57. One passenger suggested writing a letter to the company to ______.58.What was the gentleman?A.A teacher.B.A newspaper reporter.C.Not known from the story.D.The conductor's friend from his company.59.The word "he" in the last paragraph refers to _______.A.the gentlemanB.the conductorC.the middle-aged manD.the three-year-old child60.It is clear from the story that the conductor _______.A.has changed his attitude towards his workB.has now been kind and polite to all passengersC.has not changed his rude behavior to passengersD.has now been kind and polite to women with childrenCHave you ever been afraid to talk back when you were treated unfairly? Have you ever bought something just because the salesman talked you into it? Many people are afraid to support themselves. Dr Robert Albert, author of Stand Up, Speak Out, and Talk Back thinks it' s because their self-respect is low. "There's always a' superior' around--- parent, a teacher, a boss---ho knows better."But Albert and other scientists are doing something to help people help themselves. They offer "assertiveness training" courses A.T. for short. In the A.T. Course people learn that they have a right to be themselves. They learn to speak out and feel good about doing so. They learn to be aggressive without hurting other people.In one way, learning to speak out is to get rid of fear. A group taking an A.T. Course will help the timid person to lose his fear. But A.T. uses an even stronger motive--- he need to share. The timid person speaks out in the group because he wants to tell how he feels. Whether or not you speak up for yourself depends on your self-respect. If someone you face is more "important" than you, you may feel less of a person. You start to doubt your answers to problems. You can getto feel good about yourself. And once you do you can learn to speak out.61.The problem the writer talks about is that __________.A.some people buy things they don't wantB.some people are afraid to speak out for their rightsC. there are too many superiorsD. some people don't think enough of themselves62.The cause of the problem talked about in this passage is that _________.A.some people have a low self-respectB.there is always someone around who "knows better"C.salesmen talk people into buying things they don't wantD.people don t share enough63.The A.T. Course often _______.A.make people distrust their own answersB.make things more favorable for "superiors"C.help people know as much as their "superiors"D.help people become more important64.One thing the A.T. Course don't do is to __________.A.share the need of peopleB.show they have a right to be themselvesC.help people overcome fearD.help people to help themselves even if others suffer65. A good title for this passage could be "__________".A.The Need to ShareB.Talk Back When NecessaryC.One Way to Build Self-RespectD.One Way to Train Speaking Ability第二节信息般配 (共 5 小题；每题 2 分，满分10 分 )阅读以下应用文及相关信息，并依照要求般配信息。

AMy Favourite BooksJo Usmar is a writer for Cosmopolitan and coauthor of the This Book Will series of lifestyle books.

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.

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。

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.

All she had was a small purse with ten English pound notes in it!Ann found a place to change her English money. She had very few pesetas (西班牙货币单位), and she would be here for two weeks. On her way back to the hotel, Ann bought some cheese, some bread and some oranges. When she got back, she told the manager that her doctor had told her not to eat Spanish food; she'd just have breakfast each day, as she knew the price of hotels included breakfast.For the rest of her holiday, Ann swam in the hotel swimming pool, or lay on the beach and got a sunbath. When the other tourists went to interesting places, she always said she wasn't well. In fact, her holiday wasn't bad, except that she was always hungry. After all, a piece of fruit for lunch, and bread and cheese for supper isn't very much ...Late in the afternoon of their last day, a girl, Jane, asked her why she never ate with them in the hotel restaurant.

The price of this holiday includes everything!”56. “A package trip” probably means ________.A. a free tripB. a long journeyC. a pleasant tripD. a trip that includes the cost of all the tickets and services57.

Almost 20 percent of this area is well below sea level, andBadwater, a salt water pool, is about 280 feet below sea level and th e lowest point in the United States.Long ago the Indians called this place “Tomesha”— the land of fire. Death Valley's present name dates back to 1849, when a group of miners coming from Nevada became lost in its unpleasantness and hugeness and their adventure turned out to be a sad story. Today Death Valley ha s been called a National Monument (遗迹) and is crossed by several well-marked roads where good services can be found easily. Luckily the change created by human settlement has scarcely (几乎没有) ruined the special beauty of this place.Here nature created a lot of surprising sights, almost like the sights on the moon, ever-changing as the frequent (频繁的) wind moves the sand about, showing the most unusual colors. One of the most astonishing and changeable parts of Death Valley is the Devil' s Golf Course, where it seems hard for one to tell reality from terrible dreams. Sand sculptures (沙雕) stand on a frightening ground as evening shadows move and lengthen.60. According to the first paragraph, ______ is the lowest place in the United States.A. TomeshaB.

Perhaps you can't answer that question quickly. In 1900 the world's use of paper was about one kilogram for each person in a year. Now some countries use as much as 100 kilograms of paper for each person in a year. The amount of paper a country uses shows how far advanced the country is, some people say. It is difficult to say whether this is true: different people mean different things by the word “advanced”. But countries like the United States, England and Sweden certainly use more paper than other countries.Paper, like many other things that we use today, was first made in China. In Egypt and the West, paper was not very commonly used before the year 1400.The Chinese first made paper about 2,000 years ago. China still has pieces of paper which were made as long ago as that. But Chinese paper was not made from the wood of trees. It was made from the hairlike parts of certain plants.Paper was not made in southern Europe until about the year 1100. Scandinavia— which now makes a great deal of the world's paper — did not begin to make it until 1500. It was a German named Schaeffer who found out that trees could be made into the best paper. After that, the forest countries of Canada, Sweden, Norway, Finland, and the United States became the most important in paper making. Today in Finland, which makes the best paper in the world, the paper industry is the biggest in the land.64.

The H5N1 virus has killed at least 153 people worldwide since it began hitting Asian poultry (家禽) in late 2003, according to the World Health Organization, with over a third of the human deaths in Indonesia.Most of those killed have been infected by house-kept poultry, but WHO fears the virus could turn into a form that easily spreads among humans, causing a nationwide disease with the possibility to kill millions.Indonesia, the world's fourth most populous (人口稠密的) country and home to millions of backyard chickens, is looked upon as a possible hot place for that to happen.The government came under fire for moving slowly to get ri d of the virus when it first appeared in chickens and ducks, but has worked hard in recent months to make the public know about the dangers of bird flu.It has also increased vaccinations (接种疫苗) and killing of birds in infected areas. But no one knows whether the action will work. After all, bird flu has been there for more than two years and killed so many people.68.

There may be nothing wrong with his mouth and tongue, but he cannot speak. This is because he cannot hear people, so he has nothing to imitate (仿照). He may try to make sounds himself, but cannot hear his own voice. However, even though he finds it difficult to speak and cannot hear, he can learn to read. Nowadays such persons can also be taught to speak because we have modern methods and equipment, but we did not have these when Helen Keller was born.Even with modern methods and equipment, however, it is not easy for deaf children to learn to speak, though most of them succeed. When a child is deaf and blind as well, it becomes much more difficult, though it is possible. Helen Keller was born in 1880. She became very ill at the age of nineteen months. Medical knowledge was not as great then as it is now. She did not die but lost her sight and hearing. As a result, she became dumb as well. Her parents did their best to teach her, but she couldn't speak by the age of six.Then, in 1887, a teacher, Miss Sullivan, came to live with her. Miss Sullivan herself had been blind. She had been partly cured. Though she could not see very well, she was not blind. Helen was a difficult pupil at first, but in a month Helen had learned how to understand signs and how to make them herself. At last in spite of her great difficulties, Helen learned to read, write and speak, even though she was deaf and blind. She even went to college and had full education. She wrote many books, and though other people have written books about her, her own books are the ones that best explain how it feels to be deaf, dumb and blind. Her best book is ＴｈｅＳｔｏｒｙｏｆＭｙＬｉｆｅ. Perhaps you have read it. Though it was written in 1902, it is still a very interesting book. Even if you have not read it, you may have heard of Helen Keller.72. A person who is deaf at birth is also dumb because ___.A. there's something wrong with his mouth and tongueB. he cannot hear other people and he has nothing to imitateC. he doesn't like to speakD. he cannot hear his own voice73.
