A healthy diet is made up of water and a great many different kinds of foods. We know that healthy foods like fruits, vegetables and fish, are important as they provide us with energy and fiber, without giving us too much fat and sugar. But why is water important?‎ The human body needs water to survive. Water is important as it carries poisons and waste out of our bodies. So, doctors advise us to drink plenty of water, much more than the small amount we need to stay alive.‎ Some doctors believe that water is important for our health in all kinds of ways. They believe that a great many illnesses and health problems start as a result of dehydration(脱水） --- a lack of ‎ water in the body. Most people are dehydrated at least some of time, although they probably don't know it. It is surprising to learn that if we feel thirsty, we are already in the first stage of dehydration. In fact, we are advised to drink water before we feel thirsty.‎ These doctors think that health problems such as headaches, high blood pressure and asthma(哮喘）could be helped if people drink more water. They also believe that drinking more water can help people who are overweight. Water contains no calories so it will not make us put on weight. If we drink water, we will probably drink less sugary soft drinks such as Coca-cola. Doctors also believe that drinking more water may stop people from overeating. They say that many people think that they are hungry when they are, in fact, thirsty. Doctors suggest, therefore, that we eat less food and drink more water. There are still many health problems that cannot be solved by drinking water, so we should not stop seeing the doctor completely. However, if we make a decision to drink water every day, we may find that we need to go to the doctor a lot less often.‎ ‎24. From the text, we know water can carry ________.‎ A. poisons and waste out of our bodies B. fruits, vegetables and fish in our bodies C. sugar and fat out of our bodies D. energy and fiber in our bodies ‎25. Some doctors think that ________.‎ A. people eat too much sugar ‎ B. water is not important for our health C. we should go to the doctor less often D. some health problems are caused by a lack of water ‎26. Lack of water causes people to put on weight too much because________.‎ A. they think they are thirsty and eat less B. they think they are hungry and eat too much C. water has no calories D. it makes them thirsty C Teenagers who talk on the cell phone a lot, and hold their phones up to their right ears, score worse on one type of memory test. That’s the finding of a new study. That memory impairment might be one side effect of the radiation(放射线) that phones use to keep us connected while we’re on the go.‎ Nearly 700 Swiss teens took part in a test of figural memory. This type helps us remember abstract(抽象的) symbols and shapes, explains Milena Foerster. The teens took memory tests twice, one year apart. Each time, they had one minute to remember 13 pairs of abstract shapes. Then they were shown one item from each pair and asked to match it with one of the five choices. The study volunteers also took a test of verbal memory. That’s the ability to remember words. The two memory tests are part of an intelligence test. The researchers also surveyed the teens on how they use cell phones. And they got call records from phone companies. The researchers used those records to figure out how long the teens were using their phones. This allowed the researchers to work out how big radiation exposure each person could have got while talking.‎ A phone user's exposure to the radiation can differ widely. Some teens talk on their phones more than others. People also hold their phones differently. If the phone is close to the ear， more radiation may enter the body, Foerster notes. Even the type of network signal that a phone uses can matter. Much of Switzerland was using an older “second-generation” type of cell phone networks, the study reports. Many phone carriers(通讯公司) have moved away from such networks. And more companies plan to update their networks within the next few years.‎ The teens’ scores in the figural memory tests were roughly the same from one year to the next. But those who normally held their phones near the right ears, and who were also exposed to higher levels of radiation, scored a little bit worse after a year. No group of teens showed big changes on the verbal memory test. Why might one type of memory be linked to cell phone use, but not another? Foerster thinks it could have to do with where different memory centers sit in the brain. The site that deals with the ability to remember shapes is near the right ear.‎ ‎27. The underlined word “impairment” in Paragraph 1 most probably mean“___________”.‎ A. association B. damage C. pattern D. improvement ‎28. What can we infer from Paragraph 3?‎ A. How people hold their phones has no effect on their bodies.‎ B. Phone users can make more money with new networks.‎ C. The cell phone network type has little to do with the cell phone use.‎ D. Radiation levels are affected by the cell phone network types.‎ ‎29. According to the study, teens who use their phones to their right ears a lot do worse in ____.‎ A. matching numbers B. reading signals C. remembering shape D. learning words ‎30. What might be the best title for the text？‎ A. Cell phone use and safety warnings ‎ B. Facts about cell phone use at school C. Dangerous levels of cell phone use among teens D. Teens’ cell phone use linked to memory problems 第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 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．选项有两项为多余选项．‎ Lao-tzu and Confucius were China's most famous philosophers. 31 "Those who know do not say; those who say do not know, "said Lao-tzu. Confucius said that the best people say the least, but do the most.‎ ‎32 It comes from the story that he was born with white hair, already old and wise. Very little is known about Lao-tzu's life. His writings are titled the "Tao Te Ching".‎ According to Taoism, the entire universe flows with a mysterious force called the Tao, which means "The way". 33 When people forget this, opinions of good and evil or true and false happen. Taoists try to remember their oneness. However, this is easier said than done, Lao-tzu said Over time, Taoism changed a bit. Taoism became more popular in AD 440 when it became China’s state religion. Many people practice Taoism today.‎ Born in 551 B, Confucius wandered throughout China as a government employee and a political adviser to the ruling Chou family. 34 After Confucius died in 479 BC, his students wrote down his teachings and called them "Lun Yu", or the Analects. Many of his clever sayings are still followed today. "It is as hard to be poor without complaining as to be rich without becoming arrogant(傲慢)." Confucianism says it is important to learn to be human. People should act with goodness towards each other to create order and unity. Confucianism guided thinking in China until about hundred years ago.‎ Taoism and Confucianism have differences and similarities. Confucianism tells people how to act towards each other. Taoism tells people how to find meaning in life. They both share ideas ‎ about man, society, and the universe. Both Taoism and Confucianism have served as guides. 35‎ A. Good thinking lasts a long time B. Their sayings are still used today.‎ C. Lao-tzu may not even have existed D. He was also a musician, thinker, and teacher.‎ E. The name Lao-tzu means "Old Master" or "Old Boy".‎ F. They have led China through the peaks and valleys of its long history G. Taoists believe that everything might seem separate, but is actually one.‎ 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节 完形填空（共20小题，每小题 1.5 分，满分 30 分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项中，选出可填入空白处的最佳选项．‎ The Price of a Dream I grew up poor --- living with my wonderful mother.
