My parents took us there for camping. On the way out, I asked them to wait while I ran up to El Capitan, a 21 rock of 3,300 feet straight up. I touched that giant rock and knew 22 I wanted to climb it. That has been my life’s passion (钟爱) ever since —— 23 the rocks and mountains of Yosemite. I’ve long made ‎ Yosemite my 24 .  About 15 years ago I started seeing a lot of 25 , like toilet paper, beer cans, and empty boxes, around the area. It’s 26 me why visitors started respecting the place 27 and treated such a beautiful home-like place this way. I tried 28 trash myself, but the job was too big. I would 29 an hour or two on the job, only to find the area trashed all over again weeks later. Finally, I got so 30 it that I decided something had to change. As a rock-climbing guide, I knew 31 about organizing any big event. But in 2004, together with some climbers, I set a date for a 32 . On that day, more than 300 people 33 . Over three days we collected about 6,000 pounds of trash. It was amazing how much we were able to 34 . I couldn’t believe the 35 we made —— the park looked clean! Each year volunteers come for the cleanup from everywhere. In 2007 alone, 2,945 people picked up 42,330 pounds of trash and 36 132 miles of roadway. I often hear people 37 about their surroundings. If you are one of them, I would say the only way to change things is by 38 rather than complaining. We need to teach by 39 . You can’t blame others 40 you start with yourself. ‎ ‎21.

Here is an astonishing and significant fact: Mental work alone can’t make us tired. It sounds absurd. But a few years ago, scientists tried to find out how long the human brain could labor without reaching a stage of fatigue (疲劳). To the amazement of these scientists, they discovered that blood passing through the brain,‎ ‎ when it is active, shows no fatigue at all! If we took a drop of blood from a day laborer, we would find it full of fatigue toxins(毒素) and fatigue products. But if we took blood from the brain of an Albert Einstein, it would show no fatigue toxins at the end of the day. So far as the brain is concerned, it can work as well and swiftly at the end of eight or even twelve hours of effort as at the beginning. The brain is totally tireless. So what makes us tired? Some scientists declare that most of our fatigue comes from our mental and emotional attitudes. One of England’s most outstanding scientists, J.A. Hadfield, says, “The greater part of the fatigue from which we suffer is of mental origin. In fact, fatigue of purely physical origin is rare.” Dr. Brill, a famous American scientist, goes even further. He declares, “One hundred percent of the fatigue of a sitting worker in good health is due to emotional problems.” What kinds of emotions make sitting workers tired? Joy? Satisfaction? No! A feeling of being bored, anger, anxiety, tenseness, worry, a feeling of not being appreciated —— those are the emotions that tire sitting workers. Hard work by itself seldom causes fatigue. We get tired because our emotions produce nervousness in the body. 44. What surprised the scientists a few years ago? A. Fatigue toxins could hardly be found in a laborer’s blood. B. The brain could work for many hours without fatigue.‎ ‎ C. Albert Einstein didn’t feel worn out after a day’s work. D. A mental worker’s blood was filled with fatigue toxins. 45. According to the author, which of the following can make sitting workers tired?‎ ‎ A. Unpleasant emotions.‎ B. Challenging mental work.‎ ‎ C. Endless tasks.‎ D. Physical labor. ‎ ‎46. What’s the author’s attitude towards the scientists’ ideas?‎ ‎ A. He doubts them.‎ B. He argues against them.‎ ‎ C. He agrees with them.‎ D. He hesitates to accept them. ‎ ‎47. We can infer from the passage that in order to stay energetic, sitting workers ‎ need to ___________.‎ ‎ A. discover fatigue toxins ‎ B. have some good food ‎ ‎ C. exercise regularly ‎ D. enjoy their work ‎ C ‎ Recently a new study has been carried out. It shows students who write notes by hand during lectures perform better on exams than those who use laptops. Students are increasingly using laptops for note-taking because of speed and legibility (清晰度). But the research has found laptop users are less able to remember and apply the concepts they have been taught. Researchers performed experiments that aimed to find out whether using a laptop increased the tendency to make notes “mindlessly” by taking down word for word what the professors said. In the first experiment, students were given either a laptop or pen and paper. They listened to the same lectures and were told to use their usual note-taking skills. Thirty minutes after the talk, they were examined on their ability to remember facts and on how well they understood concepts. The researchers found that laptop users took twice as many notes as those who wrote by hand. However, the typists performed worse at remembering and applying the concepts. Both groups scored similarly when it came to memorizing facts. The researchers’ report said, “While more notes are beneficial, if the notes are taken mindlessly, as is more likely the case on a laptop, the benefit disappears.” In another experiment aimed at testing long-term memory, students took notes as before but were tested a week after the lecture. This time, the students who wrote notes by hand performed significantly better on the exam. These two experiments suggest that handwritten notes are not only better for immediate learning and understanding, but that they also lead to superior revision in the future.‎ ‎48. More and more students favor laptops for note-taking because they can .‎ ‎ A. get higher scores B. digest concepts better ‎ C. write more notes ‎ D. understand lectures better ‎49. While taking notes, laptop users tend to be .‎ ‎ A. skillful B. tireless ‎ C. thoughtful D. mindless ‎ ‎50. The author of the passage aims to .‎ ‎ A. examine the importance of long-term memory ‎ B. explain the process of taking notes ‎ C. stress the benefit of taking notes by hand ‎ ‎ D. promote the use of laptops ‎51. The passage is likely to appear in   .    ‎ ‎ A．a science magazine B．a newspaper advertisement ‎ ‎ C．a computer textbook D．a finance report D ‎ To err is human. To blame the other guy is even more human.       Common sense is not all that common.       Why tell the truth when you can come up with a good excuse?       These three popular misquotes (戏谑的引语) are meant to be jokes, and yet they tell us a lot about human nature. To err, or to make mistakes, is indeed a part of being human, but it seems that most people don’t want to accept the responsibility for having made a mistake. They naturally look for someone else who could be responsible for the problem. Perhaps it is the natural thing to do. The original quote about human nature went like this: “To err is human, to forgive, divine (神圣的).” This saying mirrors an ideal: people should be forgiving of others’ mistakes. Instead, we tend to do the opposite —— find someone else to pass the blame on to. However, taking responsibility for something that went wrong is a mark of great maturity.       Common sense is what we call clear thought. Having common sense means having a good general plan that will make things work well, and it also means staying with the plan. Common sense tells you that you take an umbrella out into a rainstorm,‎ ‎ but you leave the umbrella home when you hear a weather forecast for sunshine. Common sense does not seem to be common for large organizations, because there are so many things going on that one person cannot be in charge of everything. People say that in a large company, “the right hand does not know what the left hand is doing.”       And what is wrong with a society that thinks that making up a good excuse is like creating a work of art? One of the common problems with making excuses is that people, especially young people, get the idea that it’s okay not to be totally honest all the time. There is a corollary (直接推论) to that: if a good excuse is “good” even if it isn’t honest, then where is the place of the truth?‎ ‎52. According to the passage, which of the following seems the most human?‎ ‎ A. To search for truth.  B. To criticize others for one’s own error. C. To make fun of others’ mistakes.  D. To achieve one’s ideal.‎ ‎53. Which of the following is NOT based on common sense?‎ ‎ A. A lawyer acts on fine judgments.‎ ‎ B. A student goes out with an umbrella in stormy weather.  C. A company’s next move follows a good plan.  D. A man tries to take charge of everything in a large company. ‎ ‎54. What is the author’s opinion about a good excuse?‎ ‎ A. Making a good excuse is sometimes a better policy.‎ ‎ B. Bitter truth is better than a good excuse.‎ ‎ C. A good excuse is as rewarding as honesty.‎ ‎ D. Inventing a good excuse needs creative ideas.‎ ‎55. What would be the best title for his passage?‎ ‎ A. A Mirror of Human Nature  B. To Blame or to Forgive  C. A Mark of Maturity  D. Truth or Excuse 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个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。‎ ‎ While it is impossible to live completely free of stress, it is possible to prevent stress as well as reduce its effect when it can’t be avoided. 56 ◆Try physical activity 57 Running, walking, playing tennis, and working in your garden are just some of the activities you might try. ◆Make time for yourself Schedule time for both work and entertainment.

Allow yourself at least a half hour each day to do something you enjoy. ◆Take care of yourself 59 If you get angry easily and can’t sleep well enough, or if you’re not eating properly, it will be more likely that you will fall into stressful situations. If stress repeatedly keeps you from sleeping, you should consult a doctor.‎ ‎◆ 60 Stress can result from disorganization and a feeling that “there’s so much to do, and not enough time”.

I always feel ashamed whenever I see this. It is clearly not appropriate for a student to litter and scribble about. I wonder if the school could place more dustbins around and set up specific rules against such behaviour. At the same time，students should be encouraged to develop good habits and better behave themselves. ‎ ‎ I believe that，with the joint efforts of both teachers and students，our school will become a more enjoyable place in the near future. Thank you for your consideration. Yours faithfully, Li Hua
