A
This is not a diet.It’s a simple way to lose weight.And you don’t even have to give up the food you love or join a gym.You just follow some habits that thin people have.Keep them,and you’ll become thin.
(1)Wake-up
When you wake up in the morning,sit up slowly without using your hands.With legs straight out,bend(弯曲)forward until you feel sore in your back.It will burn about 10 calories(热量单位:卡路里).
(2)Start with soup
When you have a meal,order a clear soup,and have it before having the main food.In this way,you’ll feel fuller,so you’ll eat less when the main food comes.
(3)An apple(or more)a day
Apples are full of fiber(纤维) and water,so your stomach will want less food.The study shows that people who eat at least three apples a day lose weight.
(4)Stand up and walk around
Every time you use the mobile phone,stand up and walk around.Heavy people sit on average(平均) two and a half hours more each day than thin people.This skill is very important,as standing up and walking around will burn 50 or more calories.
Use these skills,and you will have a big weight loss.
(A)41.What should we have first if we want to eat less main food
A.Soup. B.Ice cream.
C.Salad. D.Cheese.
(B)42.Why does eating apples make one’s stomach want less food
A.Because apples are delicious.
B.Because apples are full of fiber and water.
C.Because apples are sour.
D.Because only apples are filled with calories.
(C)43.Which of the following may the author disagree
A.Sitting up slowly without using your hands helps burn calories.
B.Eating apples every day is good for people’s health.

I don’t have to explain to you why sleep is important.Our bodies have a need for daily and deep relaxation.However,many people suffer from disruptive sleep(失眠) through night after night.If that’s you,the following can help you get some good sleep.
Rest with the sun.When the sun goes down,it’s a sign for you to begin to relax.Of course,you don’t have to go to sleep at once,but begin to relax your body.Rest with some light reading or by relaxing on your sofa.You’d better not take part in high-energy activities,such as playing basketball at night.
Make your bedroom for rest.The bedroom isn’t the room for you to play or study.Or at least it shouldn’t be.When you put your televisions or computers in your room,they make it difficult for you to fall asleep.Put away any unnecessary things and make it a place mainly for relaxation.
Don’t eat too much at bedtime.When it’s time to sleep,your body prefers to sleep and doesn’t like doing anything else.When you eat too much before going to bed,your body will work hard to digest(消化) all that food.It can’t get the best preparation for sleep.So experts say it’s better to have about three hours between dinner time and bedtime.
Clear your mind.Worry is the sleep thief too.It’s hard to relax when your mind is still working.Make some space at night for your own quiet time.Read something that will encourage you to let your problems go.When you stop worrying,you will sleep better.
(A)46.We should take part in high-energy activities according to the passage.
A.before the sun goes down
B.after the sun goes down
C.when the sun goes up
D.as soon as the sun goes up
(C)47.The underlined word “it” in the third paragraph refers to .
A.your dining room B.your reading room
C.your bedroom D.your living room
(B)48.If you go to bed at 10:00 in the evening,you had better have dinner at about .
A.6:00 pm B.7:00 pm
C.8:00 pm D.9:00 pm
(D)49.Which way can we use to reduce our worry when sleeping
A.Running for an hour.
B.Doing some housework.
C.Watching TV.
D.Reading something.
(C)50.The writer wants to tell us .
A.how to clear our mind

阅读下面短文,然后根据短文内容回答问题。
Being alone may inspire us to create great things.
If we look at history,there are many great people who produced their best works when they were alone.
Albert Einstein,Isaac Newton,and James Clerk Maxwell,three of the greatest physicists in history,worked by themselves most of the time.They learned from others not by working with them directly,but by reading their papers and books.
American philosopher(哲学家) Henry Thoreau is another example.In 1845,he built a cabin(木屋) in the woods and lived there in solitude(孤独) for two years.Isolation led to his book Walden,which is about nature,simplicity(质朴) and beauty.As he wrote,“I never found the companion(陪伴) that was so companionable as solitude.It allows you to be a Columbus to whole new continents(大陆) and worlds within you,opening new channels,not of trade,but of thought.”
One advantage of staying alone,as we may all find,is the lack of distractions(干扰).In daily life,when we need to focus,even small talk can throw us off course.Therefore,choosing to isolate yourself from time to time can improve your productivity greatly.What’s more,our sensitivity(敏感) to criticism(批评) from others can stop our progress.We are better at expressing ourselves and thinking freely on our own.
According to Barbara Ess,an American photographer,isolation also forces us to pay attention to the details of life and surroundings(周围环境) that we wouldn’t normally see.This special experience helps us think more deeply about ourselves and our environment,which leads to even greater creativity.
56.In what situation did those great physicists produce their best works
They produced their best works in isolation.
57.What is the book Walden about
It is about nature,simplicity and beauty.
58.Why does being alone help you improve productivity
Because nothing will distract you.
59.What is the last paragraph mainly about
Isolation forces us to pay attention to details,which leads to greater creativity.
60.What does the writer try to tell us through this passage
Being alone has some advantages.
Ⅴ.词汇运用(5分)

61.The blind often know things by feeling them.
62.After a long time and much effort ,the climbers reached the top of the mountain at last.
63.We shall require (需要) some more stamps to introduce this history tomorrow.
64.Strong sunlight can harm (伤害) our eyes,so we’d better wear sunglasses when going out in summer.
65.In the past time,people needed to do some physical (身体的;体力的) effort but now machines are replacing them.

Being alone may inspire us to create great things.
If we look at history,there are many great people who produced their best works when they were alone.
Albert Einstein,Isaac Newton,and James Clerk Maxwell,three of the greatest physicists in history,worked by themselves most of the time.They learned from others not by working with them directly,but by reading their papers and books.
American philosopher(哲学家) Henry Thoreau is another example.In 1845,he built a cabin(木屋) in the woods and lived there in solitude(孤独) for two years.Isolation led to his book Walden,which is about nature,simplicity(质朴) and beauty.As he wrote,“I never found the companion(陪伴) that was so companionable as solitude.It allows you to be a Columbus to whole new continents(大陆) and worlds within you,opening new channels,not of trade,but of thought.”
One advantage of staying alone,as we may all find,is the lack of distractions(干扰).In daily life,when we need to focus,even small talk can throw us off course.Therefore,choosing to isolate yourself from time to time can improve your productivity greatly.What’s more,our sensitivity(敏感) to criticism(批评) from others can stop our progress.We are better at expressing ourselves and thinking freely on our own.
According to Barbara Ess,an American photographer,isolation also forces us to pay attention to the details of life and surroundings(周围环境) that we wouldn’t normally see.This special experience helps us think more deeply about ourselves and our environment,which leads to even greater creativity.
