The 64 elephants will be fed with a lot of food, enough for them to put on 700~800 pounds.‎ A temple veterinarian said that those Indian elephants would be treated after spending a month walking on roads, living on leaves and bananas and giving shows during lots of temple festivals. Their daily diet includes special rice and other special food, which are very nutritious and can make them healthy and strong. All of these are made by professional people.‎ This treatment will also calm them down ahead of a busy work schedule in upcoming events later in the year where they are the main attractions. The special holiday has cost the temple about￡12,500, but extra money is ready for being used to treat the animals.‎ Indians believe that doing something good to elephants can help them get wisdom and power. Having elephants is a traditional symbol of honor for temples across southern India. All temples, however, never buy their elephants. The elephants were donated by people.‎ ‎4． The Indian elephants can have a __________ holiday.‎ A. day’s B. week’s C. month’s D. year’s ‎5．The elephants can do the following during their holiday EXCEPT_____.‎ A. eating delicious food B. giving performances C. taking a shower ‎ D. having a massage ‎6． What does the underlined word “nutritious” in Paragraph 3 mean?‎ A. 大量的 B. 有营养的 C. 昂贵的 D. 美味的 ‎7． People give these elephants a special holiday in order to ______.‎ A. save a lot of money ‎ B. make friends with them C. make their temples famous D. make them get ready for the coming work.‎ 阅读理解。‎ Have you ever noticed that the more you have, the more you want? Let's face it.Thinking our life is good enough doesn't come naturally to many people.When we have high expectations of everything in life we will run into disappointment.Only when we are aware that needs are different from desires can we live with satisfaction.Here are a few ideas to help you be happier with what you have and who you are.‎ Focus on what you are thankful for.Most people want things to be better than they are, or when things are going well, we forget to appreciate what we have.Learn to reflect on how much better things are than they could be.Focus on what you are thankful for.Write down 5 things you are grateful for right now.‎ When we hold onto regrets from decisions we have made, it can really poison our wellbeing.Many people regret something they can no longer change, which ends up holding them back from moving forward in a more positive manner.What happened in the past is done and gone, so work to stay present and be mindful of the current moment to find more joy and fulfillment.‎ When we use other people as the measuring stick for our personal success and quality of life we are likely to be less satisfied.Social comparisons can provide useful information when we try to learn from others, but they also hold our perspective in a discontented position.Compare yourself less with others so you can be satisfied more.‎ When you are focused on your big ambitions and future goals you might elide the daily pleasures ‎ that surround you.Learn to slow down and absorb the wonder and beauty around you.Stay present and focus on the task you're undertaking at the moment.Don't let the life pass you by because you're always on the goal and distracted by ambition.‎ Practice looking at life through the lens of contentment and it will become more natural.‎ ‎8．How can we live with contentment?‎ A．To change our lifestyle.‎ B．To have a motivation in life.‎ C．To give less attention to what we are grateful for.‎ D．To realize the difference between needs and desires.‎ ‎9．What's the main idea of Paragraph 3?‎ A．Make wise decisions.‎ B．Know the present situation.‎ C．Let go of regrets.‎ D．Remember the past.‎ ‎10．The underlined word “elide”(in Paragraph 5) probably means “________”．‎ A．enjoy B．change C．create D．neglect ‎11．What should you do to put yourself in a good mood?‎ A．Make time for simple pleasures.‎ B．Learn from successful people.‎ C．Focus on your future goals.‎ D．Create chance to learn more.‎ ‎ According to a new US study, couples who expect their children to help care for them in old age should hope they have daughters because they are likely to be twice as attentive overall.‎ The research by Angelina Grigoryeva, a sociologist at Princeton University, found that, while women provide as much care for their elderly parents as they can manage, men do as little as they can get away with and often leave it to female family members. Her analysis of the family networks of 26,000 older Americans concluded that gender (性别) is the most important predictor(预示物) of whether or not people will actively care for elderly parents.‎ In a paper being presented at the annual conference of the American Sociological Association in San Francisco, she concludes that simply having a sister makes men statistically likely provide less care.‎ Using data from the University of Michigan Health and Retirement Study, a study which has been tracking a cross-section of over-50s for the last decade, she calculated that women provide an average of 12.3 hours a month of care for elderly parents while men offer only 5.6 hours.‎ ‎“Whereas the amount of elderly parent care daughters provide is associated with limitations they face, such as employment or childcare, sons’ caregiving is associated only with the presence or absence of other helpers, such as sisters or a parent’s spouse(配偶),” she explained.‎ ‎“Sons reduce their relative caregiving efforts when they have a sister, while daughters increase theirs when they have a brother.”‎ ‎“This suggests that sons pass on parent caregiving responsibilities to their sisters.”‎ In the UK, the 2011 census(人口普查) showed that there are now around 6.5 million people with ‎ caring responsibilities — a figure which has risen by a tenth in a decade.【来源：全,品…中&高*考+网】‎ But many are doing so at the risk of their own health. The census showed that those who provide 50 hours or more of care a week while trying to hold down a full-time job are three times more likely to be struggling with ill health than their working counterparts(相对应的人) who are not carers.‎ ‎12．What’s the most important factor to predict if people will actively care for the elderly?‎ A. Gender. B. Education. C. Career. D. Family networks.‎ ‎13．The US study finds that ________.‎ A.sons are twice likely as daughters to care for parents in old age B.having a sister makes men less likely to do their fair share C.sons and daughters seem to give equal care to their parents D.sons are unwilling to leave caregiving responsibilities to female family members ‎14．What does the author stress in the last paragraph?‎ A.People should give up their jobs to care for the elderly.‎ B.Many care providers work longer hours than others.‎ C.People shouldn’t pass on caring responsibilities to others.‎ D.Many care providers have potential health problems.‎ ‎15．The author develops the text by ________.‎ A.explaining social networks of careers B.describing people’s experiences C.analyzing various research and data D.comparing different gender behavior 二、完形填空，阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项中（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项， 并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ Remembering My Father’s Vest【来源：全,品…中&高*考+网】‎ People get into trouble because they don’t know enough to keep cool.

Advertising is any means of bringing information to the public. 47． What is being presented to the public is usually a product or service, such as a car or camera. Yet it may also be an idea, as in “Vote for Jones”, or an event, as in “Watch the World Series on this channel tomorrow!” Without advertising, people would have a difficult time knowing where goods could be bought or even certain goods or services existed.‎ Advertising began with town criers in ancient Greece, who called out the name of items available in the market. 48． The first printed ads appeared in England in 1480, and newspaper ads began in 1648. In the twentieth century extensive new fields for advertising opened up with the invention of radio and television.‎ ‎49． Fro example, radio and television ads are costly. But they reach a vast audience. This makes them worthwhile and cost-effective for the advertisers. Newspaper ads can feature coupons(赠券) or information that can be clipped and saved. Magazines often appeal directly to special groups, such as sports fans or teenagers. Other forms of advertising include direct mail, e-mail, billboards…‎ ‎50． For the most part, they hire qualified agencies to create their advertising. An advertising agency plans a company’s ads. It also does research. It surveys the market and tests different approaches to determine the most effective way to sell the greatest amount of the product.‎ How can we be sure that an ad is accurate? Two government agencies, the Federal Trade Commission and the Food and Drug Administration, check ads against false claims. The Postal Service watches for fraudulent(欺骗性的) ads sent by mail. State and local governments also have watchdog agencies. 51． ‎ A. Its purpose is to sell something.‎ B. Printed ads are found in newspapers and magazines.‎ C. Ancient Egyptians carved announcements on stones.‎ D. Do business owners themselves think up all those ads?‎ E. Advertisers who trick the public face heavy fines or other punishment.‎ F. Advertisers use whichever means, or media they think will work best for them.‎ G. Advertising developed with the rise of mass production in the late 19th century.‎ 六、书面表达 ‎52．书面表达 请你写一篇120词左右的短文，内容如下：‎ ‎1. 近视(near-sightedness)是目前存在于我国年轻人当中的一个严重问题，约有2/3的年轻人近视。‎ ‎2. 近视产生的主要原因有两个：一个是过度强调升学考试和长时间的学习；一个是看电视的时间过长。‎ ‎3. 提出解决问题的建议：‎ ‎（1）家长应该限制孩子看电视的时间；‎ ‎（2）看电视或看书时要保持适当距离，且不能在光线大暗或太亮的地方看书；‎ ‎（3）长时间的学习后应该适当休息；‎ ‎（4）定期检查。‎ ‎参考答案 ‎1．C ‎2．B ‎3．A ‎4．C ‎5．B ‎6．B ‎7．D ‎8．D ‎9．C ‎10．D ‎11．A ‎12．A ‎13．B ‎14．D ‎15．C ‎16．B ‎17．C ‎18．A ‎19．A ‎20．D ‎21．B ‎22．A ‎23．C ‎24．B ‎25．A ‎26．A ‎27．D ‎28．C ‎29．C ‎30．D ‎31．B ‎32．D ‎33．C ‎34．A ‎35．A ‎36．‎ ‎【小题1】visit后面加to ‎【小题2】tired--tiring ‎【小题3】fallen--fell ‎【小题4】so--such ‎【小题5】cleaned--clean ‎【小题6】blow--blowing ‎【小题7】possble--long ‎【小题8】permit---permitted ‎【小题9】driving--drive ‎【小题10】carefully---careful ‎37．Spending ‎ ‎38．a ‎39．than ‎40．in ‎41．weakened/weaker ‎42．spent ‎43．found【来源：全,品…中&高*考+网】‎ ‎44．worse ‎45．behavio(u)rs ‎ ‎46．which ‎47．A ‎48．C ‎49．F ‎50．D ‎51．E ‎52．‎ Near-sightedness is a serious problem among the youth of our country. About two thirds of young people are near sighted. There are two main reasons for this: one is due to too much emphasis on success in entrance examinations and long hours of work; the other is that children watch television too much often sitting right in front of the TV set.‎ I have some suggestions for solving this problem. First, parents should limit their children's television viewing. Then we must keep a proper distance when watching TV or reading, and we must not read in too dim or bright light we should take breaks during study periods to rest our eyes. Also, regular medical checkups are quite necessary.‎
