阅读下面短文，根据上下文填入适当的词语，或使用括号中的词语的适当形式填空，并将答案填写在答题卷上标号为16～25的相应位置。
There are many benefits of reading books. 16 (fortunate), nowadays not a lot of people take the time to read them. Now please read on to learn the various benefits of reading books!
1) It Feeds Your Mind.
Obviously, reading books provides you 17 new knowledge. It can be a fact about history or 18 theory you did not know existed. If you want to learn new words in particular, reading books 19 (be) a great way to enrich your vocabulary.
2) It Keeps Your Brain In Shape.
Reading also keeps your mind in good condition. Similar to 20 (solve) puzzles, reading books allows your mind to practice its processing skills. Going without books 21 too long will turn your mind to mush(浆糊). I'm not kidding!
3) It Develops Your Critical(批判性)Thinking Skills.
Reading books develops your critical thinking skills. Reading mystery novels, for example, sharpens your mind. 22 you are faced with a similar problem in real life, your mind is now able to put 23 mystery-solving power to a test.
4) It Makes You More Articulate(口才好).
There's nothing quite like reading books in helping you bee a 24 (good) conversationalist. Seeing 25 words are used with your own eyes helps you put the information to memory better than by listening to a teacher discuss the points in class.

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，并在答题卷上将该项涂黑。
A
Fitzgerald, a very wealthy English man, had only one child, a son, who naturally was the apple of his eye. His wife died when the child was in his early teens. So Fitzgerald devoted himself to fathering the kid. Unluckily the son died in his late teens.
Meanwhile, Fitzgerald's wealth was increasing all the time. He spent a lot on art works of the masters. Later Fitzgerald himself became seriously ill. Before his death, he had carefully prepared his will as to how his wealth would be settled――to sell his entire collection at an auction(拍卖）.
Because of the large quantity and high quality of his collection, a huge crowd of possible buyers gathered for the auction. Many of them were museum directors and private collectors eager to bid（出价）. Before the auction, the art works were shown, among which was a painting of Fitzgerald's son by an unknown artist. Because of its poor quality, it received little attention.
When it was time for the auction, the auctioneer gaveled（敲槌）the crowd to attention. First the lawyer read from Fitzgerald's will that the first art work to be auctioned was the painting of his son.
The poor-quality painting didn't receive any bidders except one――the old servant who had attended to the son and loved him, and who for emotional reasons offered the only bid.
As soon as the servant bought the painting for less than one English pound, the auctioneer stopped the bidding and asked the lawyer to read again from the will. The crowd became quiet, and the lawyer read from the will: “Whoever buys the painting of my son gets all my collection.” Then the auction was over.

Fiving someone who has hurt you or let you down is never an easy thing. Several new studies, however, say that it could have a lot of health benefits. When you think of fiveness, you probably don’t think of it as being a health or medical problem. Studies from Stanford University, on the other hand, show that something like anger can change your well-being.
When cartoon book characters like the Incredible Hulk(绿巨人) get angry, they change colors and often gain special power. In the real world, anger is less obvious and may be more dangerous. That’s why Professor Fred Luskin, founder of the Stanford Fiveness Project and author of Five for Good, says holding on to anger and hatred can harm your physical and mental health. Two new studies seem to show the same idea.
The studies find that people who are able to five feel less stress, less back pain, and less depression. They also have fewer headaches, lower blood pressure, and fewer problems on sleeping.
So it doesn’t matter if your anger is caused by the traffic or other things. Learning to let it go is important. Techniques such as deep breath or thought can help. Or just ask yourself if it’s worth hurting yourself by staying angry with someone else.
Fiveness does not mean that you simply aept what happened and say it’s OK. Instead, it’s a way of making peace with yourself about what happened in the past.
31. The author of the passage tries to make his viewpoint clear ______.
A. by raising his own examples
B. based on his own experience
C. by mentioning some studies
D. by mentioning some typical patients
32. The example of the cartoon book characters is taken in the passage to ______.
A. show that anger and hatred can result in physical and mental harm
B. let the reader know the different colors of cartoon faces
C. show how to control one’s temper
D. introduce a famous expert
33. The underlined phrase “holding on to” in this passage possibly means“______”.
A. moving away B. not letting go C. getting rid of D. learning about
34. People who are able to five may suffer less .
A. stress B. depression C. sleeping trouble D. all the above
35. The best title for this passage is probably _______.
A. Fiveness
B. Fiveness Is Good for Health
C. A Secret to Keeping Health
D. Anger Is Bad for Health

C
We parents often take material things for love. “I give him everything,” a disappointed mother plains. “New shoes, video-games, and his own TV. You’d think he’d at least show me respect!”
Of course, love and presents are related. Most parents work hard to earn money. They want their children to have more than they did and have better lives. The problem is, most children don’t connect the things parents buy with the labor that pays for them. Children have more, but our culture――and television in particular――teaches them that more is never enough. Having more does not mean that a child feels loved.
From a parent’s point of view, children are not thankful. But this has to do with their natural growth. Young children see their parents as all-mighty(万能的). If parents fail to provide what they want, it must be a matter of choice. It’s normal for children, even school-age ones, not to be able to take another person’s point of view. For example, they may dislike their parents for working long hours, and not realize that the parent would also rather have more time at home.
In addition to giving presents, we have to find other ways to express love and create memories. Reading or telling stories together, making music and playing games are all ways for families to spend time without spending money. Traditions like reading favorite poems and even snowball fights all serve the purpose（达到目的）. Most importantly, as parents, we have to learn to hold back some energy from our tiring jobs. When we’re present for our children, we ourselves bee the presents we want to give.

36. The underlined word “them”( in Paragraph 2) refers to______________.
A. parents B. children C. the things parents buy D. better lives
37. Aording to the passage, children______.
A. want fewer presents
B. are taught to ask for more
C. want presents rather than love
D. prefer their parents to work at home
38. We can judge from the passage that there is _________.
A. misunderstanding between parents and children
B. a heavy job load for some parents
C. a lack of money in some families
D. love between parents and children
39. The last sentence of the passage means that______.
A. our children are good presents to us
B. we ourselves need some presents
C. we should spend more time with our children
D. we should give more presents to our children
40. The best title for the passage is .
A. Family Life
B. Love and Presents
C. Children’s Education
D. Children and Parents

D
I now have under my belt four languages―― in order from the most fluent to the least fluent: French, Chinese, Spanish and Portuguese. I can also municate at a basic- level Italian.
My love of languages starts from childhood, when I began imitating other people’s aents. Although my ability to learn languages fast might be partially geic(遗传）as my mother is a speech therapist (治疗师) and has a great ear for sounds and aents, I strongly believe my abilities today e more from my personal efforts and interests.
My eagerness for learning foreign languages started when I was 12 years old in junior high school. We were given the choice of French and Spanish. I picked French. On a class trip to Quebec City, I noticed that I was totally crazy about trying my newly-learned French with the local people while my classmates were less interested. This led me to studying French in my junior years of high school, and later, I also studied Chinese in college.
While I’ve never lived in a Spanish-speaking country, I’ve reached a level of fluency in Spanish by watching a ton of Spanish TV series. The Portuguese es from my own personal efforts while travelling in Brazil.
Below I’ll list the benefits of learning new languages and my personal tips on how to learn new languages:
Children’s development: It’s reported that learning foreign languages improves children’s critical thinking skills. Kids studying foreign languages do better in other subjects including mathematics and science.
Finding a job: If an employer needs to fill a position, he / she will be much more likely to pick the person who knows a second language. Foreign language speakers have more advantages to bridge the link between a pany and its customers.
Making new friends: I have met so many friends and nice people around the world, with whom I would not be able to municate if I couldn’t speak foreign languages.
Travel: When visiting other countries, the ability to speak the local language not only makes the trip more convenient, but also much more enriching.
41. The underlined phrase “under my belt” in the first paragraph means “ ”.
A. hidden something in my pocket
B. swallowed something in my stomach
C. mastered something well
D. carried something with my belt
42. What contributes most to the writer’s ability in learning foreign languages?
A. Having personal interest and efforts.
B. Traveling a lot abroad.
C. Watching a lot of TV.
D. Being a speech therapist’s son.
43. The writer most probably lived_______________.
A. in France B. in Spain C. in Brazil D. in Canada
44. Which of the following benefits of learning a foreign language is NOT mentioned?
A. Learning about different cultures.
B. Making travel easy.
C. Making friends.
D. Finding jobs.
45. What will be most probably talked about in the following paragraphs?
A. The importance of foreign languages.
B. Examples of learning new languages.
C. The development of language learning
D. Tips on how to learn new languages.

A Healthy Lifestyle for High School Students
As has been found in many high schools, students today seem not as strong and hard-working as those a decade ago, with some dozing off in class. This can be the result of an unhealthy lifestyle. Among the students, some often go to school without eating breakfast, some stay up too late at night either studying or playing puter games and many lack physical exercises as they are driven to and from school by their parents.
Obviously an unhealthy lifestyle does great harm to us students. You cannot pay attention in class when you are hungry, sleepy or weak and thus your grades will suffer and eventually you may bee depressed, being left behind by others.
Version 1: Luckily, I lead quite a healthy life with the help of my parents, who make sure that I have enough sleep and a balanced diet, especially a nutritious breakfast. We take regular exercise like jogging after supper and I cycle to school. Thanks to this healthy life, I keep my grades as one of the top students and I will never give up the good habit.
Version 2: As far as I am concerned, I have failed to keep a healthy life as I often stay up too late chatting on line, leaving me sleepy and tired the next day. As I have no appetite, I hardly have anything for breakfast. Now my grades suffer and I am determined to make a change. I will form the habit of going to bed before 11 o'clock and getting up early for some exercise and a big breakfast.
