Once you are in the habit of rushing through life, being on the 41 from morning till night, it is hard to slow down. But relaxation is 42 for a h

20、ealthy mind and body. Stress is a natural part of everyday life and there is no way to avoid it. In fact, it is not the bad thing as often 43 to be. A certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation and give purpose to life. It is only when the stress gets out of control that it can lead to

21、poor 44 and ill health. The amount of stress a person can stand depends very much on the individual. Some people are not afraid of stress, and such characters are obviously prime 45 for managerial responsibilities; others lose heart at the first sign of unusual difficulties. When 46 to stress, in wh

22、atever form, we react both chemically and physically. In fact we make choice between “flight or fight” and in more primitive (遠古的) days the choices made the difference between life or death. The 47 we meet today are unlikely to be so extreme, but however little the stress, it 48 the same response. I

23、t is when such a reaction lasts long, through continued exposure to stress, that health becomes 49 . Since we cant remove stress from our lives (it would be unwise to do so even if we could), we need to find ways to deal with it. III. Reading ComprehensionSection A (15)Directions: For each blank in

The findings, published

26、in the journal Psychosomatic Medicine, build on evidence that a “positive emotional style” can help 55 the common cold and other illnesses.Researchers believe the reasons may be both objective as in happiness increasing immune(免疫的) function and subjective as in happy people being less 56 by a scratc

28、agues had found in a 59 study that happier people seemed less likely to catch a cold, but some questions remained as to whether the emotional tendency itself had the effect.For the new study, the researchers had 193 healthy adults with complete standard measures of personality tendency, health-consc

29、iousness and emotional “style”. Those who 60 be happy, energetic and easy-going were judged as having a positive emotional style, 61 those who were often unhappy, tense and unfriendly had a negative style. The researchers gave them drops through their noses 62 either a cold virus or a particular flu

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B,C or D. Choose the one that

34、 suits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)What I like to advise people is to find out what it is that makes them happy. What do you love to do? If you truly love what you do just go ahead and try to make a living by doing it. People will throw money at you t

35、o do it. But you will always have to work hard at it. I have to draw every single day of my life. I have to draw about 20 ideas. My advice is to put aside a certain amount of time every day and make you draw or whatever, especially when you dont feel like it. Only in this way will you be able to per

36、fect your talent.The first step you take is to go to your local library and ask for the publications issued in the current years. When you get these publications, try to find the names of the top people concerned and their presidents. After you find these, write down their names and addresses. Keep

37、this list and update it every year. Next thing you want to do is to create at least 40 cartoons. Get a grid（格子） from one of the strips in the newspapers, enlarge it to whatever size you wish and draw inside this grid. Now take the best 20 of your ideas and make them into finished pieces. To do this,

38、 you would want to copy them in ink because if you were a professional cartoonist, that was what you should do. Now you can reduce the size of the finished cartoons to fit onto a regular comics page. By comparing yours with the others already in print, it gives you a good idea of clarity to your car

39、toon.The next step is to write letters to presidents of the publication. In the letters, explain who you think would read your work, or in other words, what group do you think you would target. After you complete these, send all of your information enclosed with letters in the appropriate envelope.N

40、ow as soon as you send out these letters, start to create a brand new strip with all new characters. Dont get married to one idea because if your idea gets turned down then you will give up. And always remember. If you receive a rejection from any of them, keep in mind that you are working on someth

41、ing better. You will be working on something new and more exciting and the rejection letter will not have any impact. With this in mind65. What is the advice from the writer in the first paragraph when you want to succeed in your life?A. Stop doing anything until you find something quite suitable fo

42、r your future career.B. Put aside a certain amount of time every day to consider how to make a living.C. Make a living by something that you truly like to do as your profession and work hard at it.D. Perfect your talent only by drawing some cartoons.66. The purpose of writing a letter to the preside

43、nt was to _.A. get some money to support the later careerB. enclose the information on how to become cartoonists with the letterC. focus his attention on the workD. explain who would be the readers of the work67. The underlined phrase “get married to one idea” in the last paragraph probably refers t

44、o _.A. having a strong desire to get marriedB. fixing all attention on one ideaC. marrying someone is a good ideasD. refusing one idea to get married (B) Without proper planning, tourism can cause problems. For example, too many tourists can crowd public places that are also enjoyed by the inhabitan

45、ts of a country. If tourists create too much traffic, the inhabitants become annoyed and unhappy. They begin to dislike tourists and to treat them impolitely. They forget how much tourism can help the country and how tourism affects them. Tourism should help a country keep the customs and beauty tha

46、t attract tourists. Tourism should also advance the well-being (health and happiness) of local inhabitants. Too much tourism can be a problem. If tourism grows too quickly, people must leave other jobs to work in the tourism industry. This means that other parts of the countrys economy can suffer. O

47、n the other hand, if there is not enough tourism, people can lose jobs. Businesses can also lose money. It costs a great deal of money to build large hotels, airports, air terminals, first-class roads, and other support facilities needed by tourist attractions. For example, a major international-cla

48、ss tourism hotel can cost as much as 50 thousand dollars per room to build. If this room is not used most of the time, the owners of the hotel lose money. Building a hotel is just a beginning. There must be many support facilities as well, including roads to get to the hotel, electricity, sewers（陰溝）

49、 to handle waste, arid water. All of these support facilities cost money. If they are not used because there are not enough tourists, jobs and money are lost.68. Which of the following has most probably been discussed in the paragraph that goes before the passage?A. It is extremely important to deve

50、lop tourism.B. Building roads and hotels is essential.C. Support facilities are highly necessary.D. Planning is of great importance to tourism.69. Too much tourism can cause all these problems EXCEPT _.A. a bad impact on other industriesB. A change of tourists customsC. overcrowdedness of places of

51、interestD. pressure on traffic70. It is good for local people to be well aware that tourism will _.A. use up a large amount of waterB. weaken their economyC. help establish their traditionsD. help improve their life(c) Every time you go to the supermarket you come away with your purchases packed in

52、plastic bags. But wouldnt it be kinder to the environment if you asked for paper bags instead? The answer is not as easy as it might seem. Environmentalists say there are drawbacks to using both plastic bags and paper bags. 80 percent of groceries in the US are packed in plastic bags and the numbers

53、 are becoming huge. Consumers use between 500 billion and 1 trillion plastic bags per year worldwide. Some experts believe that all these bags harm the environment. Plastic takes hundreds of years to break down and, as it does so, poisonous materials are released into the water and soil. Further dam

54、age is caused if plastic bags enter the sea. For example, endangered sea turtles cannot tell the bags from jellyfish, their main source of food, and often choke on them. However, this kind of bag does have its advantages. Paper bags use more energy and create more waste than plastic bags. Plastic ba

55、gs require 40 percent less energy to produce and cause 70 percent less air pollution. They also release as much as 94 percent less waste into the water than paper ones do. But paper bags do break down more quickly than plastic bags. They dont endanger wildlife, either. So what should we do? One poss

56、ible solution would be to use biodegradable plastic bags. “Biodegradable” means that the bags break down naturally just like a piece of banana peel when it is left outside. But until biodegradable technology improves, it might be easier to pack things you buy in reusable cloth bags.71. Compared to paper bags, plastic bags _
