五、阅读理解（共20小题；共40分）
A
Strong ear ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )thquakes hit the east of Japan in the afternoon of March 11, causing several meter-high tsunami(海啸), which killed more than 10,000 people in areas along the coast. Several nuclear plants (核电站) at the coast were broken by the earthquake and tsunami. People living near the plants have been asked to move away. People living within 30 kilometers of the first plant are asked to stay indoors and close all windows.
The breakin ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )g of the nuclear plants is causing electricity shortages (电力短缺) in Eastern Japan. As a result, electricity is cut off for 3-hour periods in the area of Tokyo and some other areas during daytime. In order to save electricity, some shops, restaurants and tourist places in the areas are closed for some time every day. But all major airports and train lines are still open and operating.
For the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) above reasons, tourists are advised not to visit the eastern areas in the near future. Visits to Western Japan are not affected by the event. People who plan to travel over the coming weeks and months are advised to pay attention to the situation for a few more days before making decisions.

A serious e ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )arthquake can be a terrible experience, and it is easy to forget safety measures(措施) in disorder(混乱). Fortunately, most earthquake safety measures are common sense, but if you forget everything else, remember the following instructions: drop, cover, and hold on. Also, most of earthquake deaths happen after the earthquake, so remember that the danger does not end when the shaking does!
If you stay ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) indoors during an earthquake, move away from unsupported areas and windows. Try to get under a doorway or another area of the building which is held up by strong beams(梁). Stay under a table or desk only if it is very strong. Do not rush to lifts, because it is far safer to stay where you are. Cover your head with your arms around it and curl(蜷缩) into a ball, and wait for the shaking to stop.
If you stay ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )outdoors during an earthquake, move to an area which is as open as possible. Don't move to buildings, electric poles and other objects which may fall during an earthquake and injure you. Protect your head and stay low to the ground till the shaking ends and it is safe to move.
After an earth ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )quake, many buildings are less strong, although they appear safe. If you stay indoors, move people from the building quickly and help disabled or injured people. Once outdoors, move well away from the building so that if it falls down, you will not be injured. Wait till public safety officials announce that it is safe to stay indoors.
By plannin ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )g ahead and keeping calm during an earthquake, you can greatly increase your chances of survival(生存) without injury.
56. The underlined ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )word "Fortunately" in the first paragraph means .
A. especially B. gradually C. luckily D. finally
57. We can learn fro ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )m the passage that earthquake safety measures .

C. are not necessary D. are not easy to understand
58. According to ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )the passage, it isn't a good choice during an earthquake.

B. to stay under a strong table
C. to get under a doorway
D. to cover the head with arms around it

Weathe ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )r has a strong effect(影响) on people. It influences health, intelligence(智力) and feelings.
In Au ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )gust, it is very hot and wet in the southern part of the United States. People there easily have heart trouble and other kinds of health problems during this month. In the Northeast and the Middle West, it is hot at some times and very cold at other times. People in those states will have heart trouble after the weather changes in February or March.
The weather c ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )an also influence intelligence. For example, in a 1983 study by scientists, the IQ scores of some college students were very high during storm, but after the storm, their scores were low. Storms can increase intelligence. Very hot weather, on the other hand, can decrease(减少) it. Students in many schools of the United States often do badly in exams in the hot months of the year (July and August).
Weather also h ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )as a strong effect on people's feeling. Winter may be a bad time for thin people. They usually feel cold during these months. They might feel depressed during cold weather. In hot summer weather, on the other hand, fat people may feel unhappy. At about 65F, people become stronger.
Low air pressu ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )re(气压) makes people feel free, but it also increases forgetfulness. People leave more bags and umbrellas on buses and in stores on low pressure days. There is a “perfect weather” for work and health. People feel best at a temperature of about 64F with 65 percent humidity(湿度).

But if you want to say a guy is your close friend or "nanguimi", you should use "bromeo", which is made up of "bro" and "Romeo".

六、阅读与表达(问答式)（共5小题；共10分）
Do you wan ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t to improve the way you study Do you feel nervous before a test Many students say that a lack(缺少) of concentration(注意力) is their biggest problem. It seriously affects their ability to study, so do their test results.
If so, use these tips to help you.
Study Techniques
You should always study in the same place. You shouldn't sit in a position that you use for another purpose. For example, when you sit on a sofa to study, your brain will think it is time to relax. Don't watch TV while you are studying. Experts warn that your concentration may be reduced by 50 percent if you attempt(尝试) to study in this way. Always try to have a white wall in front of you, so there is nothing to distract(make less concentrated) you. Before sitting down to study, gather together all the equipment you need. Besides your textbooks, pens, pencils and knives, make sure you have a dictionary. If your study desk or table is needed when you are not studying, store all your equipment in a box beside it.
Your eyes will become tired if you try to read a text which is on a flat surface. Put your book at an angle(角度) of 30 degrees.
Be realistic and don't try to complete too much in one study period. Finish one thing before beginning another. If you need a break, get up and walk around for a few minutes, but try not to telephone a friend or have something to eat.
Test-taking Skills
All your hard work will be for nothing if you are too nervous to take your test. Getting plenty of rest is very important. This means not studying all night before your test! It is a better idea to have a long-term study plan. Try to make a timetable for your study which lasts for a few months.
Exercise is a great way to reduce pressure. Doing some form of exercise every day will also improve your concentration. Eat healthy food too.
When you arrive in the examination room, find your seat and sit down. Breathe slowly and deeply. Check the time on the clock during the test, but not too often. Above all, take no notice of everyone else and give the test paper your undivided attention.
