第一部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）
第一节 （共15个小题；每个小题2分，满分30分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
A quarrel at home may result in you falling ill. Don’t laugh, it’s true. Family matters including living habits and even the way we speak have a big effect on our health, doctors say.
Wang Xiaoyu, a Senior 2 girl from Xichang, Sichuan Province, fainted (晕倒) in class when she heard her classmates quarrel at the top of their voices. Quarrels between her parents also put the girl into a coma. It is because she is suffering from depression (抑郁症), caused by bad relations at home, doctors explained. “We don’t get sick or stay well by ourselves,” says Dr Robert Ferrer from the US. Ferrer shows that family forces may explain up to a quarter of health problems, in his recent research. The genes you get from your family may cause illness. If one of your parents has a heart attack, your risk of being affected may double. But effects on health are not only written in our DNA.
Unrelated people who live under the same roof also get similar problems. Diet, lifestyle and environment affect our health, too. Ferrer’s research also found that if teenagers feel they are ignored or unimportant at home they are more likely to get sick.
We may never fully understand all the effects that families have on our health. But just as individual (个别的) problems can have effects on others, a small improvement can have big benefits, Ferrer said. 21．Which of the following can best explain why Wang Xiaoyu fainted in class? A. Because her classmates often quarreled in class. B. Because her parents used to quarrel.
C. Because of her depression caused by bad family relations. D. Because her classmates shouted loudly at her.
22．According to Dr Ferrer, which of the following statements is TRUE? A. We get sick or stay well by ourselves.
B. Only the genes we get from our family have a big effect on our health. C. Our health has nothing to do with diet, lifestyle and environment.
D. Teenagers who are ignored at home get sick more easily than those who are not. 23．The underlined word “coma” in Paragraph2 probably means ________. A. surprise B. faint C. tiredness D. sadness 24．The best title for this passage is ________.
A. Family relations. B. The reasons why we get sick. C. Family---- another cause to health D. A research about health.
B
The trouble with school is that you can’t choose the people you get to see every day. If you’re unlucky enough to be stuck with classmates who don’t really “get” you, you’ve just got to try to make the best of it.
But that doesn’t mean you need to “fit in”, or at least in the way that people think. If you try to transform yourself into a clone of everyone else, it won’t help you make friends. It’ll just make you feel like a fake. You also shouldn’t shut down or refuse to be friends with everyone who doesn’t like you. If you do that, you’ll just make yourself miserable. Instead, you’ve got to work on being comfortable and confident with whom you are while ignoring all the haters. Keep on speaking up, asking questions and getting to know people better. If you send out positive energy, then people will generally send some back to you. A couple of them will stay the same, and you’re allowed to forget about them.
If you feel like you’re doing all that but still not getting anywhere, then don’t give up. Just expand your circle. Get a part-time job at a cool-looking place, join an after-school art class or youth group—do whatever it takes to find a couple of like-minded people to connect with. Even if you don’t find anyone right away, you’ll still be getting some more social experiences under your belt, and that’s always a good thing.
A fun book called Uncool, by Erin Elisabeth Conley, has some tips for folks like you who want to stay positive at school while being true to your personality: ·Throw caution to the wind. ·Don’t tolerate others’ mistakes. ·Have patience with people who are different from you. ·Don’t change just because someone else thinks you should.
·Know that even though you may be a misfit, there’s always some place where you will be welcomed in the world.
25．According to the author, what should you do if you meet people who don’t appreciate you? A. Just give up.
B. Ask someone else for help.
C. Show positive attitude toward them. D. Try your best to fit in with them.
26．The author agrees that you should take part in more activities in order to __________. A. get more chances of making friends
B. lay a better foundation for your future jobs C. transform yourself into a clone. D. make you feel like a fake.
27．In the book Uncool, Erin Elisabeth Conley thinks you should _________. A. always be kind to your friends B. keep your own personality C. tolerate others’ mistakes
D. help improve characters of others
28．This passage was written mainly for _______.
A. doctors B. ScientistsC. students D. Teachers

C
Picky eaters may have good reasons for their behaviour. No matter why your child has become picky, how you handle the situation can affect his or her future. Therefore, you should know the following reasons for picky children first of all.
Neophobia is common in children; it often happens at the dinner table. Some children just refuse to try new food because they don’t know what it will taste like, while others dislike new food before even smelling it. Some children take it to the extreme(极端) and will only eat a few foods that they like. Psychologist Dr. Elizabeth Capaldi says that, by the time children reach the age of two, they have formed their own eating habits that they don’t want to be disturbed by new offerings at the table.
A newly published study led by Dr. Lucy Cooke of University College London showed that picky eating in children results from genetic(遗传的) and environmental causes. The research, which followed the eating habits of 5,390 pairs of twins between the ages of 8 and 11, found that about 75% of the neophobia in the children was from their parents, while 25% was due to the influence of environment.
Children grow at a high speed during their first year, but that fast-paced growth tends to slow down by their second year. When children are not experiencing one of those fast growth periods, their body needs less energy; and that results in a smaller appetite(胃口). When children are not hungry, they tend to enjoy only food they like. They refuse new food and food that is not their favourite. Some children will limit the amount of food to only one kind, like hamburgers or pancakes, leaving all the other foods untouched.
In some cases, many real reasons why a child behaves as a picky eater exist. About 5% of children who are 10 years of age or younger have some type of neurological dysfunction(神经机能障碍) that influences their eating habits. These children may be easily hurt by some special smells, or their brain may not be able to process such sensory information properly.
29．The underlined word “Neophobia”in Paragraph 2 probably means_________. A．the fear of something new or unknown B．the worry about the amount of new food C．the feeling of eating at the dinner table D．the fear of eating tasty food
30．What can we learn about the study led by Dr. Cooke?
A．It paid more attention to the environmental effects on children’s eating habits. B．It followed the eating habits of 5,390 children aged between 8 and 11. C．It showed that genetics greatly affect children’s eating habits. D．It suggested that parents should have good eating habits. 31．The fourth paragraph mainly tells us that_______.
A．children’s growth speed stays the same in the first two years B．children develop their own diet when they grow up C．children tends to eat less when they grow up D．children’s growth has an effect on their diet
32．The reason mentioned in the last paragraph has something to do with a child’s_______. A．exercise B．sense C．habit D．Interest D
Parents whose children show a special interest in a sport feel very difficult to make a decision about their children’s careers．Should they allow their children to train to become top sportsmen and sportswomen? For many children it means starting schoolwork very young．And going out with friends and other interests have to take a second place．It’s very difficult to explain to a young child why he or she has to train five hours a day, even at the weekend, when most of his or her friends are playing． Another problem is of course money, In many countries money for training is available from government for the very best young sportsmen and sportswomen．If this help can not be given, it means that it is the parents who have to find the time and the money to support their child’s development and sports clothes, transport to competitions, special equipment, etc．All can be expensive． Many parents are worried that it is dangerous to start serious training in a sport at an early age．Some doctors agree that young muscles may be damaged by training before they are properly developed．Professional trainers, however, believe that it is only by training when young that you can reach the top as successful sports person．It is clear that very few people do reach the top, and both parents and children should be prepared for failure even after many years of training． 33．Where can we most probably find this passage?
A．An advertisement． B．A diary．C．A newspaper． D．A notice board． 34．What does the underlined phrase “to take a second place ”in the first paragraph mean? A．to become less important B．To put it at another place C．To happen again
D．They are the most important of all the things
35．Which of the following statements is true according to the passage? A．It’s easy to make a decision when your children want to take up sports．
B．Most of the students may become top sports men after a long period of training． C．Early training may damage young muscles．
D．It’s not very expensive for parents to support their children’s development in sports．

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 It is generally believed that money can’t buy happiness. However, that may not be always true. According to a recent article, in the last few years, new research has given us a far deeper understanding of the relationship between what we earn and how we feel. Broadly speaking, people with higher incomes are happier than those who struggle to get by. But it also shows you need to spend wisely if you expect those bank notes to put a smile on your face.36． Buy experiences, not material goods.
In a recently published study, Professor Ryan at San Francisco State University in the US, found that when people don’t have much money to spare, they tend to stick to material goods.37． But they actually provide both more happiness and more lasting value.
