第二节：短文改错

Dear Diary，

Here I am in the middle of a city，350miles far away from our farmhouse. Do

you want to know why we move last week? Dad lost hi s job, and as Mom explained,”He

was lucky to find other one ”. His new job meant I had to say goodbye to my classmate,

my school or just everything else I love in the world . To make matters bad, now

I have to share a room with my younger sister, Maggie. Tomorrow is first day of school.

I am awfully tiring, but I know I’ll never fall sleep.

Good night and remember, you , dear diary, is my only souvenir from my past

life and my only friend.

Yours,

Rosemary

第三节：七选五

Never put off until tomorrow what you can do today

Want to put off studying for the physics test? Or writing that thirty-page research paper on future uses of biotechnology? Sure you do? And who wouldn’t ?But it’s still a silly idea to put off doing something until a future time. Here’s why.......

61.______The task will be still the same. It won’t be any more fun and you still won’t want to do it. As the deadline gets closer and closer, the task seems to become larger and larger if you have n’t started the work. And the stress increased. Now not only do you have to write that paper, you have to do it under great pressure.

62._______Before you start, it seems that the task is unlikely to be accomplished. But you know what? you’re probably miscalculating. Get started----maybe on a small place-----and you’ll discover that you have more resources and know more about the subject than you thought. Result? You won’t experience nearly as much suffering as you expected to. Things are guaranteed----100percent----to get better.

63.________If you leave your work until the night before it’s due, you give up the possibility of getting input from your professor. Professors regularly give advice----or at least a few useful tips----during office hours. Unfortunately, though, they don’t usually hold office hours at midnight, so you’ll be out of luck when you discover the night before the midterm that you have no idea how to do the questions that will count for two-thirds of your grade.

64._______Ever wonder why the professor assigns the paper two weeks before it’s due?It’s because he or she expects you to be thinking about the issue, or doing the research ,for two weeks. No, not every waking moment, but at least some of the time.After all, the professor could just as easily have given the assignment one week before it was due if he or she expected less thinking. Most college papers require you to have some kind of idea, then to spend some time thinking about it, revising it, and polishing it. When you throw together a paper or a report at the last minute, your ideas are half-baked. And your professor will know it.

65.________If you put things off till the last minute, you might find that you haven’t budgeted enough minutes to finish the necessary tasks. It’s the easiest thing in the world to miscalculate how long it’ll take to do all the work especially when new issues arise---like illness, family problems, computer breakdowns, trouble at work, and all the other things ---as you’re thinking through your paper argument or preparing yourself for the coming test. If you keep delaying, you don’t allow yourself time for those various life events that have an adverse(不利的)effect on your ability to complete your assignment.

A.Time can run out .

B.Tomorrow won’t be better

C.Ideas need time to develop

D.Your professor will be impatient

E.You blow off your chances for help

F.You’re probably overestimating(高估)the pain.

第四节：阅读理解

Below is a selection from a popular science book.

If blood is red ,why are verns(静脉)blue?

Actually, veins are not blue at all. They are more of a clear, yellowish color. Although blood looks red when it’s outside the body, when it’s sitting in a vein near the surface of the skin, it’s more of a dark reddish purple color. At the right depth, these blood-filled veins reflect less red light than the surrounding skin, making them look blue by comparison.

Which works harder, your heart or your brain?

That kind of depends on whether you’re busy thinking or busy exercising. Your heart works up to three times harder during exercise, and shifts enough blood over a lifetime to fill a supertanker.

But ,in the long run, your brain probably tips it, because even when you ‘re sitting still your brain is using twice as much energy as your heart, and it takes four to five times as much blood to feed it .

Why do teeth fall out, and why don’t they grow back in grown-ups?

Baby (or “milk ”) teeth do not last long ; they fall out to make room for bigger, stronger adult teeth later on. Adult teeth fall out when they become damaged, decayed and infected by bacteria. Once this second set of teeth has grown in, you’re done. When they’re gone, they’re gone. This is because nature figures you’re s et for life, and what controls regrowth of your teeth switches off.

Do old people shrink as they age?

Yes and no. Many people do get shorter as they age. But, when they do, it isn’t because they’re shrinking all over. They simply lose height as the ir spine(脊柱) becomes shorter and more curved due to disuse and the effects of gravity(重力) . Many (but not all) men and women do lose height as they get older. Men lose an average of 3-4 cm in height as they age, while women may lose 5cm or more. If you live to be 200 years old, would you keep shrinking till you were, like 60 cm tall, like a little boy again? No, because old people don’t really shrink! It is not that they are growing backwards --their legs. arms and backbones getting shorter. When they do ge t shorter, it’s because the spine has shortened a little. Or, more often, become more bent and curved.

Why does spinning make you dizzy(眩晕的)？

Because your brain gets confused between what you’re seeing and what you’re feeling. The brain senses tha t you’re spinning using special gravity-and motion-sensing organs in your inner ear, which work together with your eyes to keep your vision and balance stable. But, when you suddenly stop spinning the system goes out of control, and your brain thinks you’re moving while you’re not!

Where do feelings and emotions come from?

Mostly from an ancient part of the brain called the limbic system. All mammals have this brain area --from mice to dogs, cats, and humans. So all mammals feel basic emotions like fear, pain and pleasure. But since human feelings also involve other, newer bits of the brain, we feel more complex emotions than any other animal on the planet

If exercise wears you out, how can it be good for you?

Because our bodies adapt to everything we do to them. And as far as your body

is concerned, it’s “use it, or lose it”! It’s not that exercise makes you healthy; it’s more that a lack of exercise leaves your body weak and easily affected by disease.

46.When is the colour of blood in a vein near the surface of the skin?

A.Blue.

B. Light yellow.

C. Red

D. Dark reddish purple.

47.Why do some old people look a little shrunken as they age?

A.Because their spine is in active use. Because they are more easily affected by gravity.

B.Because they keep growing backwards.

C.Because their spine becomes more bent.

48.Which of the following statements about our brain is true?

A.In the long run, our brain probably works harder than our heart.

B.When our brain senses the spinning, we will feel dizzy.

C.The brains of the other mammals are as complex as those of humans.

D.Our feelings and emotions come from the most developed area in our brain.

49.What is the main purpose of the selection?

A.To give advice on how to stay healthy.

B. To provide information about our body.

B.To challenge new findings in medical research.

C.To report the latest discoveries in medical science.
