He made a decision that more laughter was needed to improve health and deal with the stress of modern living.In 1995, while writing an article for a health journal, Dr. Kataria discovered many modern scientific studies describing the benefits of laughter on the human mind and body. In particular, he was impressed by Norman Cousins’ book Anatomy of an Illness and the research work by Dr. Lee Berk. Then he began to field-test the effect of laughter on himself and others.Starting with just five people, on March 13, 1995, at a public park in his neighborhood, Dr. Kataria started the first laughter club. They laughed together in the park to the amusement of bystanders, and the small group quickly grew to more than 50 people within a few days. In the early meetings, they stood in a circle with one person in the center to tell a joke or a funny story. Everybody enjoyed themselves and felt good for the rest of the day. However, after two weeks, their jokes and stories ran out. Some complained that it would be better to discontinue the club than to continue without any jokes. Dr. Kataria asked the club members to give him one day to develop a breakthrough that would solve the problem.That night, Dr. Kataria reviewed his research and finally found the answer. Our body cannot differentiate between pretend and genuine laughter. In fact, bothproduced the same effect. The next morning, the results were amazing. For some, the make-believe laughter quickly turned into real laughter. Soon the group was laughing like never before. The hearty laughter that followed lasted for almost ten minutes. This was the birth of Laughter Yoga.25. We can infer from Paragraph 2 that Madan Kataria _____.A. used to be seriousB. was a man of actionC. found his life stressfulD. was an expert in laughing26. After a short period of time, the club members _____.A. didn’t know what to talk aboutB. doubted whether laughter would helpC. couldn’t find any place to get togetherD. showed less interest in Dr. Kataria’s club27. The underlined part “a breakthrough” refers to the discovery that _____.A. people may laugh a lot after taking a new type of medicineB. genuine laughter works better than pretend laughterC. laughing a lot is able to help us fight off illnessD. pretend laughter is also helpful to our health28. What would be the best title for the text?A. Laughter clubs in IndiaB. Benefits of Laughter YogaC. The origin of Laughter YogaD. Laughter — the best medicineC★★★☆☆When we hear of dangerous diseases, cancer and heart disease are often what first comes to mind. Recently, a virus called Ebola has reappeared in Guinea (a country in West Africa), killing 62 people so far. It leads to viral hemorrhagic fever, which is characterized by high fever and internal bleeding etc. Ebola can kill 90% of those infected, especially in underdeveloped societies like those in Africa.Ebola is named after the Ebola River, where it was first discovered in 1976. There are five different types of the Ebola virus, each named after where they first happened: Sudan, Ivory Coast, Reston, Bundibugyo, and Zaire. The deadliest of the five, Zaire, was responsible for the 2012 outbreak, and is believed to be attacking Guinea.Ebola is naturally found in fruit bats (果蝠), which pass on the virus to other animals by biting or sucking on (吮吸) their blood. Humans who are suffering from the Ebola infection might have touched the bodily fluids of the infected animals. Once infected, a human becomes a carrier of the deadly virus.Since we live in an interconnected world, where the situation in one country can affect us all, the influences of Ebola are huge: damaging trade relations, affecting foreign visitors, and weakening entire countries. Already the Guinea virus is spreading fast with a few cases spotted in Conakry — the capital of Guinea, far away from the origin of the virus. It is feared that the disease may have already reached neighboring Liberia and Sierra Leone, too.Unfortunately, there are no disease-specific treatments for Ebola. Healthcare workers only supply the infected people with water to keep them in good condition. Since there have been many cases of nurses catching the disease from patients, they are forced to wear strict protective clothes, and in some cases, not even allowed to get close to the affected. The fact that there is no cure for the Ebola virus is what makes the outbreak a challenging one to control.29. The news of Ebola in Guinea is mentioned to _____.A. make a brief summaryB. introduce the topic of the textC. compare Ebola with cancerD. show the latest study of viruses30. What can we learn about Ebola?A. It is a newly discovered virus.B. It is the most dangerous virus in the world.C. It was named after where it first happened.D. It could cause immediate death for anyone infected.31. What is mainly described in Paragraph 3?A. What the Ebola virus is.B. The influences of Ebola.C. The treatments for Ebola.D. How the Ebola virus spreads.32. Which of the following does the author probably agree with?A. Ebola is a highly infectious virus.B. Ebola is now very common in Guinea.C. Those with a fever must be infected by Ebola.D. Females are more easily to be infected by Ebola.D★★★★☆An interpersonal communication class is one of those courses similar to health or physical education that students often brush off as just another one of those school required classes that are easy to pass. Well, should these interpersonal communication classes be required for all high school students?After having such a subject as part of the curriculum (课程) in my Communications College major, I believe that this course should be required. Even though it is true that much of the material is common sense to most, there is likely a handful of students who do not know the standard guidelines for communicating interpersonally, either because their family never raised them with the knowledge or they had no place to practice the rules.To be interpersonally effective in communicating, one must know how to behave confidently in certain situations, how to settle a conflict, and how to moderatebehavior and choice of speech among different people or places. If schools required this course in high school, I firmly believe that the graduation as well as college entry percentages of each class would rise rapidly.My interpersonal communication classes required myself and the other students in my class to team up in groups of two or three on various occasions and practice certain verbal exchanges. The professor would give us scenarios (剧本) and we would have to act out what we would do and say if that situation happened. We performed exercises where we had to read back and forth with our partner practicing different tones of voices and analyze the change in impression each made on the receiving party.Many people, again, blow interpersonal communication classes off as just a filler class to keep kids in school for an entire day, but I d on’t think these people realize how important effective communication skills are when entering into the grown-up, independent, college or employment world. Being able to communicate well has a huge effect on one’s self-esteem (自尊), ability to make friends, competence in an employment position, and the healthiness of a romantic relationship.33. The underlined part “students often brush off” can be replaced by “_____”.A. students are really fond ofB. students don’t take seriouslyC. students feel confused aboutD. students have never heard of34. What were the author’s interpersonal communication classes like?A. Students showed no interest and played games.B. Students performed exercises in small groups.C. Students were too shy to play out scenarios.D. Students were often asked to watch videos.35. The author’s purpose of writing the text is most likely to _____.A. advertiseB. entertainC. persuadeD. instruct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。

ASleep StruggleOne in every five young people has a sleep problem, so you’re not alone. Getting enough sleep has become as important as eating vegetables and exercising regularly. It’s very important for your body.Most young people only get seven hours of sleep each night, when they actually need nine hours. And making up for lost sleep during the week by sleeping on weekends doesn’t really work. In fact, sleeping late on weekends may actually do you more harm than good, if you have sleep problems.What happens if you don’t get enough sleep? If your sleep problem continues for a few nights, you could suffer serious problems. Lack of sleep can affect learning and memory. Worse, if your sleep difficulties last a long time, that could lead to anxiety (焦虑). Therefore, you’ve got to have some healthy sleep habits. Below are some suggestions:•Go to bed at the same time—including weekends, if possible.•Wake up around the same time every morning. When you sleep late just one morning during the week, it may disturb your body clock. This will make it hard for you to sleep that night.•Do something relaxing before going to bed.•Exercise during the day. Don’t exercise right before going to bed.•Avoid drinking. Alcohol (酒精) makes you excited. This prevents you from falling asleep or wakes you up during the night.•Don’t smoke. Smoking is always bad for the body. Smoking before bedtime keeps you awake.If trying these tips over a couple of weeks does not help you, speak to your doctor. Do not take any medicine without first asking your doctor. Many of them have strong side effects.1. The passage suggests that people with sleep problems should ________.A. eat vegetables and exercise regularlyB. make up for lost sleep on weekendsC. follow a fixed timetable for sleepD. sleep seven hours every day2. We can learn from the suggestions that ________.A. getting up earlier one morning makes it easier to fall asleep that nightB. listening to soft music before going to bed may help you fall asleepC. smokers and those who drink alcohol usually have sleep problemsD. exercising before going to bed will help you get to sleep3. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. You’ll no longer have your sleep problem i f you try the tips.B. Sleeping late on weekends can make up for lost sleep.C. Eating vegetables and exercising regularly can help you fall asleep.D. Sleep problems are serious among young people.BGrowing Up in AustraliaSince 2004, Australia has been holding its largest study of children’s health ever. This project, “Growing Up in Australia,” is following two groups of children from early childhood until they become adults. The project is being supported by the Australian government and involves hundreds of researchers visiting the homes of 10,000 children. Researchers hope to find a relationship between the children’s future behavior and their health, education, and family environments.When the study began, the first group of children was aged 0-1, while the second group was aged 4-5. In order to make sure that children from every kind of environment and background were chosen, the study found volunteers from each area. Some volunteers are in the countryside, while others are in big cities. The volunteers for both groups were chosen from a variety of different social and ethnic (种族) backgrounds.The researchers visit the participants’ (参与者) homes every two years to gather information. They interview the parents about parenting styles and the child’s dailyactivities. They also take measurements of the children’s health and how we ll the children perform in school. The researchers also collect information such as the income of the child’s family, the school the child attends, and the kind of community (社区) in which the child lives. They plan to use the information to improve childre n’s lives.Researchers have already begun to publish some interesting results. For instance, after examining information from the second group of children when they were 10-11 years old, researchers found that children who spend a lot of time doing organized activities, such as music lessons or sports, have good control of their emotions and behavior. The study also found that they are able to complete their homework without their parents around. On the other hand, it found that children who watch a lot of television get upset easily and have worse behavior. The Australian government is now using this information to make better educational and health policies for Australian children.4. What is true about children participating in the study?A. They will represent their families in an international competition.B. They will learn social skills from enthusiastic volunteers.C. They come from many different family backgrounds.D. They have to go to various cities in Australia.5. Researchers who visit the chil dren’s homes ________.A. gather information about children in order to help them lead better livesB. go to the children’s schools to learn more about Australian educationC. measure how well parents can solve their children’s problemsD. provide health services to children living in the community6. As a result of the study, researchers found that ________.A. watching television has no effect on children’s emotionsB. participating in organized activities has a positive effect on childrenC. children who watch a lot of television are bad at sportsD. children who do organized activities like to control their friends7. What can we learn from the passage?A. Older children have better control of their emotions than younger childrenB. Australians want the government to spend more money on education.C. The government is unhappy with the results of the study.D. The study follows two separate groups of children.CMosquitoes have an extraordinary ability to find humans far away and fly straight to their skin. Mosquitoes can do more than cause an itchy (发痒的）wound. Some mosquitoes spread several serious diseases, including Dengue, yellow fever and malaria.Over one million people worldwide die from these diseases each year. New research now shows how mosquitoes choose who to bite.Mosquitoes need blood to survive. They are attracted to human skin and breath. They smell the carbon dioxide gas, which all mammals breathe out. This gas is the main way for mosquitoes to know that a warm-blooded creature is nearby.But mosquitoes also use their eyes and sense of touch. Michael Dickinson is a professor at the California Institute of Technology. His research shows how these small insects, with even smaller brains, use three senses to find a blood meal.Michael Dickinson’s team used plumes—a material that rises into the air of carbon dioxide gas into a wind tunnel (隧道). They then used cameras to record the mosquitoes. The insects followed the plume.Then, the scientists placed dark objects on the lighter colored floor and walls of the tunnel. Mr. Dickinson said, at first, the mosquitoes showed no interest in the objects at all. “What was quite surprising is that the mosquitoes fly back and forth for hours. These are hungry females and they completely ignore the objects on the floor and wall of the tunnel. But the moment they get a hit of CO₂, they change their behavior quite obviously and now would become attracted to these little visual blobs (斑点).”This suggested to the researchers that a mosquito’s sense of smell is more important in the search for food. Once mosquitoes catch a smell of a human or animal,they also follow visual signals.8. What do mosquitoes mainly use to find their food?A. Sense of smell.B. Sense of touch.C. Sense of sight.D. Smart brains.9. The first response of the mosquitoes to the objects in the experiment is ________.A. to fly to the dark onesB. to catch and stick to themC. to take no notice of themD. to attach themselves to them10. How can we avoid being attacked by mosquitoes according to the text?A. Don’t let them see us.B. Use dark objects to stop them.C. Make them fly back and forth for hours.D. Attract them to objects full of carbon dioxide gas.11. What can be the best title for the text?A. How Do Mosquitoes Survive?B. Why Do Mosquitoes Need Blood?C. How Do Mosquitoes Choose to Bite You?D. Why Do Mosquitoes Attack the Human Being?DEach time I see a balloon, my mind flies back to a memory of when I was a six-year-old girl. It was a rainy Sunday and my father had recently died. I asked my mom if Dad had gone to heaven. “Yes, honey. Of course.” she said.“Can we write him a letter?”She paused, the longest pause of my short life, and answered, “Yes.”My heart jumped. “How? Does the postman go there?” I asked.“No, but I have an idea.” Mom drove to a party store and returned with a red balloon. I asked her what it was for.“Just wait, honey. You’ll see.” Mom told me to write my letter. Eagerly, I got my favorite pen, and poured out my six-year-old heart in the form of blue ink.I wrote about my day, what I learned at school, how Mom was doing, and even aboutwhat happened in a story I had read.

Historically, I would have suffered this alone, doing everything I could to hide my mental illness. But this time, I did something different — I let my friends help me.They showed up in the middle of the night when I was drowning in fearand desperation, talking me through it until I fell asleep. They opened up their homes to me when I was too self-destructive to be alone in my apartment. And when it became worse, they drove me to the emergency room and talked with every nurse and every doctor that came into the room to be sure I would get the best possible care.These friends of mine are heroes. I wrote about this experience publicly on my Facebook pages. And unsurprisingly, the most common response was something along the lines of “I could nev er let my friends in like that. I’d be afraid of being too much of a burden (负担)”.Hundreds of people conveyed the same fear that if they were to ever let someone in while they struggled, it would do more harm than good. And I know this fear well. It used to be my attitude. Even now, I still find myself swimming in guilt and worry over whether or not I put too many demands on my support system. Even so, I don’t regret asking for help. I might not be alive right now if I hadn’t.I used to be the one that pushed everyone away out of fear that I was too demanding. But I’m finally at a place in my life where I understand just how important it is to lean on my friends’ shoulders.4. What did the author do this time during his mental breakdown?A. He asked for help online.B. He turned to his friends for help.C. He went to see the doctor himself.D. He managed to hide it from others.5. What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about?A.

He feared to be asked to tell the truth.C. He feared to make others frightened.D. He feared to be rejected by others.CScientists long have wondered whether we are born with our musical tastes. A team of researchers wanted to find out the answer. Team leader Josh McDermott is a scientist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge.McDermott’s team worked with five groups of adults. Two of the groups live in the United States. They listen to Western music. People in one of the two groups had each played a musical instrument for an average of 7.7 years. Those in the other group had played music for less than a year. This allowed the researchers to study whether playing an instrument changed the kinds of sounds people like to hear.All of the other members live in the South American country of Bolivia. One group lives in the capital city of La Paz. They hear Western music, but probably not as much as people living in North America do. Another group comes from the small town of San Borja. Its residents (居民) probably hear even less Western music than the people in La Paz do.The final group — the Tsimané— live in a village within the Amazon rainforest. It is so far away that outsiders can reach it only by boat. When they sing or play instruments, they do it by themselves. This sets their music apart from the kinds of sounds typical in Western music.The people in all five groups listened to recordings of chords (和弦). Some chords were consonant. That term refers to musical sounds that most people consider pleasant to hear. Others were dissonant.As expected, U.S. residents strongly preferred consonant chords. People in La Paz and San Borja also preferred consonance over dissonance. But the Tsimanéliked them equally. What’s more, how strongly people preferred consonant chords was linked to their exposure (曝光) to Western music. U.S. residents who had played a musical instrument preferred consonant chords most. Those in San Borja preferred them least. And the Tsimané? They showed no preference for either.8. What do the people in the first two groups have in common?A. They all love various kinds of music.B. They are all often exposed to Western music.C. None of them have listened to foreign music.D. They have played music for less than a year.9. Why did the researchers work with the Tsimané?A. Because they were good at music.B. Because they had their own music.C. Because their place was very difficult to reach.D. Because they hadn’t been exposed to Western music.10. What do dissonant chords refer to?A. New musical sounds.B. Musical sounds from abroad.C. Unpleasant musical sounds.D. Well-known musical sounds.11. What did the researchers most probably conclude in the end?A. Musical preferences are dependent on the environment.B. Musical instruments help people know about music.C. People are born with their musical tastes.D. People love music for different reasons.D“Food in France is still primarily about pleasure,” says Mark Singer, technical director of cuisine at Le Cordon Bleu in Paris. “Cooking and eating are both hobbies and pleasure.” The French might start their day with bread, butter, jam, and perhaps something hot to drink —it’s a time of the day when the whole family can be united. Singer, born in Philadelphia, has lived in France for more than 40 years. “Although things have changed greatly when it comes to food in the country,” he says, “and what was a big affair with eating has been slowly softened up, there are still events in the year, like birthdays and New Year’s Eve and Christmas Eve that are still really linked with traditional food and cooking. But it’s not every day.”Some people think French food life may be a performance, adds Jennifer Berg, director of graduate food st udies at New York University. “They want to believe that France is a nation where people are spending five hours a day going to 12 different markets to get their food. The reality is that most croissants (新月形面包) are factory-made, and most people are buying convenience food, except for the very small group of people in high society.”In Italy, as in France, takeout (外卖) is still relatively rare. “Eating fast is not at all part of our culture,” says Marco Bolasco, an Italian food expert. Our meals are relaxed, even during a lunch break. Food in Italy is love, nutrition and pleasure, he says. An Italian child’s first experience with food is not small round cakes or rice or eggs, but probably ice cream, says Bolasco. Status (身份) and wealth play less of a role in food.12. How does the French food change?A. Eating French food is less pleasant.B. Traditional foods are no longer preferred.C. Daily meals are less important than before.D. Fast food is more popular in primary festivals.13. What does the underlined word “performance” in Para. 2 refer to?A. Coincidence.B. Pleasure.C. Trouble.D. Task.14. Compared with French food, Italian food________ .A. is hardly connected with the position in societyB. is rarely connected with takeout foodC. shows the customs of Western foodD. provides people with pleasure15. What’s the main idea of the text?A. Food as wealth.B. Food as pleasure.C. Food as survival.D. Food as status.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。

单元综合测评(时间：100分钟；满分：120分)Ⅰ.阅读理解(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
ADolphins live in a dark underwater world. It's often impossible to see each other or anything else around them, so sound plays an important role in their survival. To communicate with each other, dolphins produce all kinds of sounds.Only other dolphins understand what the sounds mean. Scientists haven't uncovered their secret communication, except for one kind of whistle. It might last less than a second, but this whistle is a big deal. Why? Because these whistles are actually names of dolphins－and every dolphin has one. Scientists call these sounds a “signature whistle.” When other dolphins hear the whistle, they know which dolphin is calling.Dolphins often hunt by themselves but still need to stay connected to the group. Since they can't always see each other, dolphins use their signature whistles to check in with other dolphins hundreds of yards away. “In coastal areas, dolphins exchange whistles even when they're a third of a mile apart，”says Greg Campbell，who studies animals. That means dolphins shout out to group members that might be nearly five football fields away.What's amazing is who names the baby dolphin. Not the mother. Not an auntie dolphin or another group member. Scientists believe the baby dolphin itself comes up with the signature whistle. Like human babies, a baby dolphin plays with sounds throughout its first year. While testing its sound skills, a baby dolphin is doing something amazing. It's creating or figuring out its signature whistle. How or why it chooses its signature whistle is not clear. Studies show that most of the time the signature whistle is nothing like its mother's or group members' whistles.When the baby dolphin is about a year old, its signature whistle is set. It repeats it often so the other dolphins learn to recognize it.Deciphering(破译) dolphin names is just the beginning of figuring out whatdolphins communicate about. Do they chat about sharks? Discuss the tides? Maybe they even have a name for people. Someday scientists may decipher the rest of dolphins' communication.1．Sound is important for dolphins because of ______．A．their poor sense of directionB．their living environmentC．their strong enemiesD．their big groups【解析】细节理解题。
