Despite being aware of the benefits of exercise, people fail to put it in their lives, because their motivation is very limited.An optimistic attitude will not only help you to try continuously, but also make sure you fight all possible difficulties easily. On the other hand, a pessimistic attitude will show you only the bad in what you want to do, stopping your will to try at the very beginning.To be determined about something takes a lot of courage. It‘s very easy to give up and everyone can do it. To continuously keep at it, putting in the same efforts all the time, takes courage. Be determined to lose weight. Tell yourself you have to do it.If your role model has been in your mind, then you are very likely to follow him or her.

They were also asked five questions about what they had eaten that day. Specifically, participants were asked to report the number of servings eaten of fruit ,vegetables and several categories of unhealthy foods like biscuits/cookies, potato crisps, and cakes/muffins.The results showed a strong day-to-day relationship between more positive mood and higher fruit and vegetable consumption, but not other foods.To understand which comes first－feeling positive or eating healthier foods－Conner and her team ran other analyses and found that eating fruits and vegetables helped improvements in positive mood the next day, suggesting that healthy foods may improve mood.―After further analysis we thought that young people would need to consume about seven to eight total serving of fruits and vegetables perday to notice a meaningful positive change.

His decision to cast Marlon Brando in the lead also met with fierce opposition from the studio bosses. Good sense became popular, and The Godfather went on to become one of the most memorable movies ever. Critics may point out that he has become less creative after his seventies, but try as one might, no one can possibly take the place of this great director's work.Stanley Kubrick's movies focus on the themes like sci-fi, horror, dark humor and war. He used symbolism in most of his movies, giving us some wonderful screen visuals, as shown in 2001: A Space Odyssey. His actors in Hollywood complained about the endless number of retakes, but they appreciated the performance he milked out of them. People argue about films like Lolita, A Clockwork Orange and Paths of Glory, but these are now seen as classics.Steven Spielberg is a great success at the box office, and he is one of the world's most popular filmmakers today. As the creator of classics like Schindler's List, Jurassic Park, ET, Indiana Jones series, Jaws, Saving Private Ryan, no one can win his hold over the audience. His critics accuse him of being emotional and over the top, but the fact remains that his movies attract the audience and set the cash registers ringing.Woody Allen is a director who directs movies full of crime and hate. This comic genius has given us Annie Hall, Hannah and Her Sisters and Midnight in Paris, which have also become classical. His movies constantly include characters who arouse the audience's sympathy and laughter at the same time, as they set out on a journey of self-discovery. Hollywood star power has never fazed Allen. Thankfully, awards and honors do not interest him, which results in creativity that is original.1. What do the directors mentioned in the passage have in common?A. They are interested in awards for their works.B. They have created a lot of movies taken as classics.C. They are members of the New Hollywood gang.D. They focus their themes on the negative side of society.2. Stanley Kubrick's works include the following except _____.A. Midnight in ParisB. 2001: A Space OdysseyC. A Clockwork OrangeD. Paths of Glory3. It is implied in the underlined sentence that Steven Spielberg _____.A. was successful in amusing the audienceB. had set a cash register working for himselfC. became much better at creating classicsD. succeeded in making a great box office4. What will be discussed in the paragraph that follows this passage?A. Their contribution to society.B. Another famous movie director.C. The difference between the directors.D.

So he began taking Star with him everywhere he went. “I would put him in my pocket while I did my shopping,” said Barrie. Now, at five months, Star is too big for Barrie’s pocket, but the two are still inseparable. They watch sports together and even share a drink together. Barrie said, “He is one fantastic duck. I’ve never known any like him.” Star even has his own Facebook page, with more than 2,000 Facebook friends.Then there’s the case of Tonie and Shirley Joubert in South Africa. They live with their pet hippo, Jessica. Tonie saved Jessica from floodwaters when she was only a day old. Jessica lives outside their riverside house, but she knows how to open the kitchen door, and often goes there for a snack. Tonie recently said, “I don’t know whether Jessica sees me as a hippo or whether she sees herself as a human.” Shirley is more certain, “Jessica sees herself as our child and I see Jessica as my daugh ter. I can’t imagine my life without Jessica.” Jessica is free to leave, and often visits wild hippos that live nearby. But she always returns home at night. Jessica’s website notes that she has three hippo boyfriends, but one in particular, Fred, is her favorite. They often go grazing (吃青草) together and Fred has recently moved onto the Jouberts’ house as well.1.What’s the main idea of the passage?A.Some websites are set up to protect pets.B.Some unusual pets are adopted by people.C.People should take good care of their pets.D.Pets sometimes can be very interesting.2.What does the underlined word “inseparable” in Paragraph 2 mean?A. Always together.B. Always separated.C. Always friendly.D. Always healthy.3.. Barrie took Star everywhere he went because .A. he had never seen a duck like StarB. he set up a Facebook page for StarC. he wanted to care more about StarD. he needed Star to drink with him4. We can learn from the passage that Jessica .A. came to the Jouberts’ home when she was 5 months oldB. loves eating in the Jouberts’ kitchenC. doesn’t see herself as a human beingD. has more than three boyfriends【答案】BACB【解析】【试源】2015-2016学年安徽省宣城市宣城中学、郎溪中学、广德中学高二上学期期中联考英语试题【结束】2.【题文】Le Val de Cantobre, Aveyron (France)It’s in the grounds of a medieval house.

But isn’t it true of people? Can people change themselves? Are we humans just creatures of habits? Do we not have any control over our actions and habits?One guy said, “Bad habits are like a comfortable bed. They’re easy to get into, but hard to get out of.” Someone else said, “The chains of habits are too small to feel until they’re too strong to break.” So breaking the mo uld of our bad habits takes effort.Habits are like the roads we take through our life every day. The problem is that not every road takes us where we need to go. Actually, our routes through life often become our ruts (惯例) in life. We end up stuck in them and find it hard to dig ourselves out. That’s why we must change our bad habits as soon as possible before they become our second nature. You see, our habitsbecome our character and our character be comes our life. As one wise person said, “First we make our habits, and then our habits make us.”But we humans don’t like to change. So we come up with excuses, like “I can’t be different; that’s just the way I am.” And the good excuse is “You can’t teach an old dog new tricks.” But that’s just it: we’re not dogs or animals. In fact, we’re the only creatures who have the freedom and power to change and choose the kind of person we want to become.1. We can learn from Paragraph 2 that .A. getting rid of bad habits is very hardB. people can’t find their bad habits themselvesC. entering bad habits is hardD. people don’t have the courage to change their bad habits2. What’s mainly talked about in Paragraph 3?A. What bad habits are.B. How bad habits are formed.C. How to change our bad habits.D. Why we should change our bad habits.3. The author’s attitude towards changing one’s bad habits is .A. doubtfulB. optimisticC. negativeD. indifferent【答案】ADB【解析】【试源】2015-2016学年安徽省宣城市宣城中学、郎溪中学、广德中学高二上学期期中联考英语试题【结束】4.【题文】It just may be the world’s most costly vacuum cleaner ( 吸尘器). The price of CleanSpace One is eleven million dollars. But yet, it has a big job to do. Recently, researchers in Switzerland said they planned to build this new cleaning machine.CleanSpace One will not be for use in homes or businesses. It will be shot into space to help remove thousands of pieces of space junk floating around up there.Last year, we reported on the problem of space junk. Over time, many unused spacecraft have hit each other far above the Earth. Big pieces break into thousands of small pieces. Sometimes they fall back into the atmosphere (大气层) and burn up. But when they do not, it creates big problems. Scientists fear that if something is not done to remove these objects, it may soon become too dangerous to send people and machines into space. There is a large chance that they might hit some of this junk. So that is why the Swiss researchers are developing the new machine. CleanSpace One is not really a vacuum cleaner. It will not be used to take away space junk. But scientists plan to move it close to an old satellite that is no longer being used. Then a claw-like instrument will catch the satellite, and force it back through the atmosphere. There, the satellite will be destroyed by the heat of friction (摩擦) with the air.Researchers say that all they need to do is slow down the speed of some of these unwanted objects. Once they begin to move more slowly, they will fall back to the Earth. There is little chance that they will fall through the atmosphere and harm the people or things below.1. Space junk is created when .A. unused spacecraft hit each otherB. people in space throw away rubbishC. a new spaceship is sent upD. an old spaceship creates friction with the air2. What’s the d anger of space junk?A. It will pollute space.B. It will hurt people on the Earth.C. It will hit a spaceship.D. It will burn in the atmosphere.3. Unwanted objects will fall back to the Earth when .A. they are made to move slowlyB. they meet other objects in spaceC. they are not used for yearsD. they are near the atmosphere4.

Here are some suggestions that may help you to sleep better.Set a regular bedtime. Going to bed at the same time each night signals to your body that it’s time to sleep. 2 So try to stick as closely as you can to your sleep schedule, even on weekends. Exercise regularly. 3 Finish exercising at least 3 hours before bedtime. Many sleep experts believe that exercising in late afternoon may actually help a person sleep.Avoid stimulants (刺激物). Don’t drink beverages with caffeine, such as soda and coffee, after 4 pm. 4 And drinking alcohol in the evening can make a person restless and interrupt sleep. Relax your mind. Avoid violent, scary or action movies or television shows right before bed. Reading books with active plots may also keep you from falling or staying asleep.Create the right sleeping environment. 5 So close your curtains (and make sure they’re heavy enough to block out light) and turn down the thermostat (恒温器). Noise can prevent people from sleeping well. Use a white-noise machine if you need to block out a noisy environment.A. Waking up at the same time every day also helps establish sleep patterns.B. People usually sleep best in a dark cool room.C. Light signals to the brain that it’s time to wake up.D. Try not to exercise right before bedtime as it can make it harder for you to fall asleep.E. Nicotine is also a stimulant, so quitting smoking may help you sleep better.F. Naps too close to bedtime may keep you from falling asleep.G. Some schools have carried out later start times.【答案】GADEB【解析】【试源】2015-2016学年安徽省宣城市宣城中学、郎溪中学、广德中学高二上学期期中联考英语试题【结束】6.【题文】It has been about forty years since the invention of post-it notes (便利贴).
