AWhy is pink or purple a color for girls and blue or brown for b oys?The answer depends largely on cultural values as well as per sonal experiences. To the Egyptians, green was a color that r epresented the hope and joy of spring, while for Muslims, it m eans heaven. Red is a symbol of good luck in many cultures. In China, children are given money in a red envelope to bring good fortune in the New Year. For many nations, blue is a sy mbol of protection and religious beliefs. Greek people often w ear a blue necklace hoping to protect themselves against evil s（灾祸）.People’s choice of colors is also influenced by their bodies’ re actions （反应）toward them. Green is said to be the most restful color. It has the ability to reduce pain and relax people both mentally and physically. People who work in green environment have been found to have fewer stomach aches.Red can cause a person’s blood pressure to rise and increa se people’s appetites（食欲）. Many decorators will include different shades of red in t he restaurant. Similarly, many commercial websites will have a red “Buy Now” button because red is a color that easily catc hes a person’s eye.Blue is another calming color.

So if you want to eat less, some suggest that eating from blue plates can help.The next time you are deciding on what to wear or what colo r to decorate your room, think about the color carefully.1.

The neighbors came out of their houses to see if we had a gas leak!

But a new study suggests they used a little rock‘n’r oll. Long-ago builders could have tied wooden pole s to the stones and rolled them across the sand, the scientists say.“Technically, I think what they’re proposing is possible,” physi cist Daniel Bonn said.People have long puzzled over how the Egyptians moved such huge rocks. And there’s no obvious answer. On average, ea ch of the two million big stones weighed about as much as a l arge pickup truck. The Egyptians somehow moved the stone blocks to the pyramid site from about one kilometer away. The most popular view is that Egyptian workers slid the block s along smooth paths. Many scientists guess workers first wo uld have put the blocks on sleds(滑板). Then they would have dragged them along paths. To make the work easier, workers may have made the path slippery(滑的) either with wet clay or with the fat from animals. Bonn has now tested this idea by building small sleds and dragging hea vy objects over sand.Evidence from the sand supports this idea. Researchers foun d small amounts of fat, as well as a large amount of stone and the remains of paths.However, physicist Joseph West think there might have been a simpler way , led the new study . West said , “I was inspired while watchinga television program showing how sleds might have helped with pyramid construction . I thought , ‘Why don’t they just try rolling the things？’“A square could be turned into a rough so rt of wheel by attaching wooden poles to its sides , he realized. That , he notes , should make a block of stone “a lot easier t o roll than a square”.So he tried it.He and his students tied some poles to each of four sides of a 30-kilogram stone block. That action turned the block into somew hat a wheel. Then they placed the block on the ground.They wrapped one end of a rope around the block and pulled. The researchers found they could easily roll the block along d ifferent kinds of paths. They calculated that rolling the block re quired about as much force as moving it along a slippery(滑的)path.West hasn’t tested his idea on larger blocks, but he thinks rolli ng has clear advantages over sliding. At least, workers would n’t have needed to carry animal fat or water to smooth the pat hs.12. It’s widely believed that the stone blocks were moved to the pyramid site by ______.A. rolling them on roadsB. pushing them over the sandC. sliding them on smooth pathsD. dragging them on some poles13.What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 7 refer to ?A. Rolling the blocks with poles attached.B. Rolling the blocks on wooden wheels.C. Rolling poles to move the blocks.D. rolling the blocks with fat.14. Why is rolling better than sliding according to West ?A. Because more force is needed for sliding.B. Because rolling work can be done by fewer cattle.C. Because sliding on smooth road is more dangerous.D. Because less preparation on path is needed for rolling.15. What is the text mainly about ?A. An experiment on ways of moving blocks to the pyramid site.B. An application of the method of moving blocks to the pyra mid site.C. An argument about different methods of moving blocks to the pyramid site.D. An introduction to a possible new way of moving blocks t o the pyramid site.第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，共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。

On the night when the earthquake happened, many survivors had to sit or lie on the ground in terrible darkness. Some brought their own tents and others turned on the lights of motorcycles. It seemed that the earth was at an end. But their natural character made them get together to fight the early spring’s cold nights. Facing the disaster, they chose to be stronger and standing still and firmly like Yushu, the name of their hometown meaning “Standing like Trees”.The disaster drew much attention both at home and abroad. Our country leaders ordered rescuers（营救人员） to value every life and never to give up. Thousands of rescuers and medical teams rushed to Yushu from many areas of China, bringing machines, medicines and something necessary to the quake-hit town. They entered every village to search for survivors. Governments, organizations and volunteers are offering money and materials to the areas.We believe that under the leadership of the Central Government, people in the disaster areas are sure to restore production and rebuild homeland as soon as possible. And the overall victory can be achieved in the earthquake rescue work. 4．In Paragraph 2, the writer refers to the meaning of “Yushu” to show that _______.A．the strong trees stand still to fight the early spring’s cold nights B．some trees were cut down to make tents to live through the disasterC．the big tree standing still brings the local people good luckD．people there are brave and strong when facing the earthquake5．Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?A．Yushu, a young town, was destroyed in the terrible earthquake.B．A huge earthquake once hit Yushu County in the Tang Dynasty.C．The whole nation does its best to help rebuild the new homeland.D．There was still electricity after the earthquake struck the town.6．The underlined word “restore” in Paragraph 4 probably means _______.A．战胜B．储存C．恢复D．修理I always have a dream: It’s the end of the semester, and I suddenly realize that there is a lecture I missed. and now I have to sit for the final exam. I wake up panicked, my GPA in danger. How could I have done this? Why? Oh, my God! Then I remember I haven’t been in college for more than a decade.My old schoolmates might argue that this nightmare scenario is not that far removed from my actual college experience, and that at certain times in my life, it did not take the magic of sleeping to find me completely unprepared for a final. And, regardless of what may or may not be true of my academic accuracy, I suspect the school-stress dream is quite a common one.My suspicion was confirmed by Deirdre Barrett, a dream researcher at Harvard University. She explained that these dreams tend to pop up when the dreamer is anxious in waking life. Particularly when evaluated by an authority figure. people who wanted to act or play music at an early age tend to experience anxiety dreams not about school, but about auditions — that was where they interacted with the figures who could most easily crush them. In each of these dream scenarios, we revisit the space where we first experienced success or failure based on our performance.To find out what my specified performance-based anxiety dream means, I went to Jane Anderson, a dream analyst. Although science is undecided about the exact purposeof dreams, what night he behind “that dream scenario, being hack at school and having to take this final, she told me, is,” feeling tested in lie, feeling that you have to respond to other people’s expectations, and feeling that you’re not meeting those expectations. “So you think back to school. So much stuff happens in school that really sets your foundational beliefs and really sticks there in your unconscious mind. It can be very hard to let go of those beliefs,” she said. 7．Why is the author’s dream mentioned in the first paragraph?A．To analyze reasons. B．To attract readers.C．To lead into the topic. D．To share the experience.8．Who is the least likely to have the performance-based anxiety dream?A．An actor discussed by the fans about his newly released movie.B．A worker examined by the employer for his work performance.C．An undergraduate evaluated by the professor for his graduation paper.D．A teacher assessed by the principal for his teaching achievements.9．What does Anderson say about the impact of school experiences on people’s life? A．Various and gradual. B．Lasting and important.C．Positive but temporary. D．Negative but changeable.10．What does the text suggest about school-stress dreams?A．Special medical treatment is required to address the problem.B．More scientific research is needed to explore the real purpose.C．They may indicate difficulty or disappointment in real life.D．They only happen to those with negative school experiences.The story begins at the 1992 Summer Olympic Games in Barcelona. Derek Redmond was a short-distance runner for Great Britain. He was so thirsty for a medal although he’d had five surgeries (手术), including one on his Achilles tendon (跟腱) with less than four months before the Games. His Olympic dream was dashed four years ago at the 1988 Games in Seoul when he tore (拉伤) his Achilles tendon an hour before the race.Redmond’s dream of a medal in Barcelona in the 400 meters started off well,as he ran the fastest at first and won his quarterfinal. In the semifinals, Redmond charged out of the blocks and looked strong on the first straightaway. But shortly before the race’s halfway mark, his face wore an expression of pain and he held the back of his right leg: he pulled his tendon. He fell down to the track in pain, as the rest of the pack kept running. Alone on the track, Redmond stood and began jumping on his left foot—trying to finish the race. The crowd stood up and cheered as Redmond moved slowly toward the finish line.Then a man turned up alongside the track: Redmond’s dad, Jim. Waving off officials who tried to get him off the track, Jim Redmond ran up to his son, putting an arm around his waist. Derek turned and cried on his father’s shoulder. Together, father and son walked the final meters of the race.“I saw my son having a problem and it was my duty to help,” Jim Redmond said. “I actually went on the track to try to stop him suffering further pain. It was Derek’s idea. He asked me to get him back on the track and I offered him a shoulder to finish the race.”The Olympic Committee called the finish one of the most inspiring moments in Olympic history.11．What does the underlined word “dashed” in paragraph 1 probably mean? A．Broken. B．Realized. C．Updated. D．Made.12．Why did Derek Redmond stop running during the race in Barcelona?A．A man blocked his track. B．He felt a pain in his left leg. C．His tendon was injured. D．It was hopeless to win the match. 13．Who offered Derek Redmond a hand to finish the race?A．A fan. B．His father. C．A coach. D．Other athletes. 14．What can we infer about Derek Redmond from the text?A．He was attached to his family. B．He won the race in the end.C．He was afraid of challenges. D．He stayed true to his dream.二、七选五Everyone wants to live a healthier life and be happy.
