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. However, 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 going to 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.‎ ‎5.

The amount of water a person should drink in a day.‎ D.  Fruit provides us with energy and fibre.‎ C Are you sometimes a little tired and sleepy in the early afternoon? Many people feel this way after lunch. They may think that eating lunch is the cause of the sleepiness. Or, in summer, they may think it is the heat. However, the real reason lies inside their bodies. At that time—about eight hours after you wake up—your body temperature goes down. This is what makes you slowdown and feel sleepy. Scientists have tested sleep habits in experiments where there was no night or day. The people in these experiments almost always followed a similar sleeping pattern. They slept for one long period and then for one short period about eight hours later.‎ In many parts of the world, people take naps in the middle of the day. This is especially true in warmer climates, where the heat makes work difficult in the early afternoon. Researchers are now saying that naps are good for everyone in any climate. A daily nap gives one a more rested body and mind and therefore is good for health in general. In countries where naps are traditional, people often suffer less from problems such as heart disease. Many working people, unfortunately, have no time to take naps. Though doctors may advise taking naps, employers do not allow it! If you do have the chance, however, here are a few tips about making the most of your nap. Remember that the best time to take a nap is about eight hours after you get up. A short sleep too late in the day may only make you feel more tired and sleepy afterward. This can also happen if you sleep for too long. If you do not have enough time, try a short nap—even ten minutes of sleep can be helpful.‎ ‎9. Why do you sometimes feel sleepy in the early afternoon?‎ A. Because you eat too much for lunch.‎ B. Because it’s hot in summer.‎ C. Because your body temperature goes down at that time.‎ D. Because you didn’t have a good sleep last night.‎ ‎10. What can we learn about “naps” according to the last paragraph?‎ A. All the people in warmer climates take naps in the middle of the day.‎ B. Doctors need to take naps while employers don’t.‎ C. If you take naps every day, you’ll never suffer from heart disease.‎ D. Taking naps regularly is good for people’s health.‎ ‎11. If you get up at 6:30 am, what is the best time for you to take a nap?‎ A. About 12:30 pm.                        B. About 1:30 pm.‎ C. About 2:30 pm                        D. About 3:30 pm  ‎ ‎12. What would be the best title for the text?‎ A. All for a Nap B. Just for a Rest C. A Special Sleep Pattern D. Taking Naps in Warmer Climate D All over the world，children in hospital are being treated with a new kind of medicine：Laughter. Lucy is 23 and works for Theodora Children’s Trust. She is one of many clown (小丑) doctors who bring a smile to the faces of sick children.‎ ‎“I’m a Theodora clown doctor. I call myself Dr Looloo. I spend two days a week in children’s hospitals，making funny faces，telling jokes，and doing magic tricks. As I walk into the wards(病房) I blow bubbles，shake hands with the kids，and make up nonsense songs for those children well enough to sing. I take special balloons to make ‘balloon animals’ and tell funny stories about them.‎ I’m naturally a very cheerful person. I’ve always been a clown. In fact my father’s a clown and I started working with him when I was eight years old. I knew it was just the job for me and I became a clown doctor because I think it’s a great way to cheer up sick, frightened children in hospital.‎ Being a clown in hospital is very tiring both physically and emotionally. We have to learn not to show our feelings，otherwise we’d be useless. Clown doctors are sensitive but this is not a side most people see. To the children we’re happy all the time. I’m still learning to allow myself to feel sad occasionally. There working with a very sick little girl from Bosnia who speaks no English，so our only common language is laughter.‎ At weekends I participate in events to raise money for Theodora Children’s Trust. It’s a charity, so we are paid with the money people give. Being a clown doctor makes the worries of everyday life seem small. All in all I feel honoured to do this job.”‎ ‎13．Lucy works as a clown doctor because________.‎ A．her father is a clown ‎ B．she has been a clown since she was eight C．laughter is a great help to sick children ‎ D．working in hospital brings her extra money ‎14．What do clown doctors usually do in hospital?‎ A．Teach kids how to speak English. ‎ B．Cheer kids up with funny stories.‎ C．Join in activities to raise money. ‎ D．Develop kids’ sense of humour.‎ ‎15．Lucy thinks that being a clown doctor is________.‎ A．an experience of great fun ‎ B．an interesting job to make a living C．a good way of getting rid of her worries ‎ D．an honourable and meaningful practice ‎ 第二节 ‎（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ ‎ Although many Chinese students say that their knowledge of English grammar is good, most would admit that their spoken English is poor. Whenever I speak to a Chinese student, they always say, “My spoken English is poor.” __16 I would like to suggest that there may be some reasons for their problems with spoken English.‎ ‎ First, they fail to find suitable words to express themselves due to a limited ‎ vocabulary. __17 However, you can speak with a limited vocabulary, if you choose a positive attitude. Others will follow you as long as you use the words that you know.‎ ‎ __18 Sometimes they make mistakes when they are speaking because they are shy and nervous. Yet students should remember that their goal should be FLUENCY NOT ACCURACY. Your aim in writing is to be accurate following the rules for grammar and using the right words and spelling them correctly. However, in speaking your aim is fluency. You want to get your message across, to talk to someone in English, as quickly and as well as you can, even though sometimes you may use a wrong word or tense, but it doesn’t matter. __19 ‎ The third reason is that not enough attention is paid to listening. You have one mouth but two ears! All that hearing is necessary for you to start speaking.‎ Fourth, most Chinese students are reactive rather than proactive(主动的) language learners. Instead of actively seeking out opportunities to improve their spoken English they passively wait for speaking opportunities to come to them and wonder why their English always remains poor. _20 .‎ A. The person you are speaking to will understand you and make allowances for any mistakes he hears.‎ B. Obviously the better answer is to expand their vocabulary.‎ C. They may try to avoid making similar mistakes next time.‎ D. If you have this proactive outlook, then you will see English opportunities wherever you go.‎ E. Second, they are afraid of making mistakes.‎ F. However, their spoken English does not have to remain “poor”!‎ G. The second reason lies in the reluctance of using what has just been learned.‎ 第二部分 英语知识运用 第一节 完型填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分）‎ I’ve heard such a story.‎ On a Friday night, a poor young artist stood at the gate of the subway station, playing his violin.

The boy paused for a while “Would you please give me some … a drink of water?” the boy dare not to look directly into her eyes.
