However, in most cases, treatment is quite effective. Female hair loss patterns in women are not as easily recognizable as they are in men. A woman may experience it temporarily due to pregnancy or illness, although they may experience it for other reasons. Hair loss can be due to a variety of factors, including a genetic tendency (which is not genetically linked to just one parent — both parents contribute to the tendency to lose hair)． Women who are experiencing hair problems seem to have more limited choices than men. There are some female hair loss treatments that are available such as the Tricomin System which is a topical treatment that is nutrition based. Shen Min for Women is another natural treatment that contains herbs (药草) that are said to stimulate (刺激) hair growth and even restore hair that is graying to its natural color. The majority of the popular, proven hair loss treatments are only intended for men and are not suitable for women. True, a woman's hair issue is different from a man's. The biological makeup is different and the needs are different. Women have different needs and their bodies react in different ways to environmental changes, physical illness and even the treatments that are available. There are many natural treatments such as vitamin and mineral supplements that are said to stimulate hair growth, but, for the most part, these claims are currently unproven. One of the first and most important factors to effectively treating is to get a diagnosis from a doctor. Talk to your doctor about any symptoms that you may be experiencing in addition to the thinning hair. Stress, weight loss or gain, illness and depression, all of these can be contributing factors. 1．It can be learned from the 1st paragraph that ________. A．usually hair loss is hard to heal B．female hair loss is more common than the men's C．women tend to suffer from hair loss during the pregnant period D．only illness contributes to hair loss 2．Which of the following statements matches the text about the two treatments? A．Both are to solve the problem of male hair loss. B．Tricomin System is effective in speeding the growth of the new hair. C．Shen Min is an updated way of treating hair loss. D．The former is nutritionbased, while the latter is medicinebased. 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 4 3．The reasons for the differences between the female and male hair loss problems do not include ________. A．the biological structure and composition of the hair B．the wants and needs C．the reactions and responses to the outside changes D．the approach to taking exercise 4．The natural treatments ________. A．include vitamin and mineral supplements B．are applied to keep the hair healthy C．have been proved useful D．are the most commonlyused ways B (2014·湖南湘中名校高三模拟)It had been some time since Jack had seen the old man. Over the phone, his mother told him，“Mr. Belser died last night. The funeral is Wednesday.” Memories flashed through his mind like an old newsreel as he sat quietly remembering his childhood days. When Jack was very young, his father died. Mr. Belser, who lived in the same neighborhood with them, spent as much time as he could to make sure Jack had a man's influence in his life. He spent a lot of time teaching Jack he thought what was important in his following life. If Mr. Belser hadn't taught him how to weave, he wouldn't be in this business now. So he promised his mother he would attend Mr. Belser's funeral. “You'd better not drive your car. It's a long way.” his mother warned him. Busy as he was, he kept his word. Though tired from the earliest flight, Jack tried his best to help. Mr. Belser's funeral was small because he had no children of his own and most of his relatives had passed away. The night before he had to return home, Jack and his mother stopped by to see the old house Mr. Belser once lived in. Now it belonged to him. He bought the house from one of his relatives. The house was exactly as he remembered. Every step held memories. Every picture, every piece of furniture ... Jack stopped suddenly. The box on his desk was gone! He once asked the old man what was inside. He just smiled and said it was the most valuable thing to him, though it almost cost nothing to others. He figured that someone from the Belser family had taken it. “I will never know what was so valuable to him.” Jack thought disappointedly. 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 5 Three days later returning home from work, Jack discovered a small package in his mailbox. The handwriting was difficult to read, but the return address caught his attention. “Mr. Harold Belser” it read. Jack couldn't wait to open it. Inside lay the familiar small box. His heart racing, Jack unlocked the box. Inside he found a gold pocket watch with these words engraved: “Jack, thanks for your time! Harold Belser.” “The thing he valued most was my time.” Jack held the watch before his chest, tears filling his eyes. 5．Which of the following may be the title of the passage? A．A Special Funeral B．A Kind Old Man C．A Thankful Young Man D．A Precious Gift 6．What might be the relationship between Jack and Mr. Belser? A．Mr. Belser was Jack's stepfather.

B．By car. C．By air. D．By the highspeed train. 8．What did Mr. Belser teach Jack when he was young? A．How to keep healthy. B．How to weave. C．How to care about others.

Of course, this is an unusual story. Most college graduates would not do so. However, studies show that in teenage years, people are more likely to try out new experiences. For example, instead of working his way up the same organisation like his grandfather did, a 15yearold teenager may dream about becoming a traveller — only to find in his early 20s that this attraction of new places is fading and change is less attractive. The reason why people become less keen to change as they get older may be that people 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 8 generally have similar life patterns and demands. Most people aim to find a job and a partner. As they get older, they may have young children and elderly family members to look after. These responsibilities cannot be achieved without some degree of steadiness, which means that new experiences and ideas may not have a place in the person's life. New experiences may bring excitement as well as insecurity, so most people prefer to stay with the familiar. However, not every individual is the same. A child may want to play a different game every day and get fed up if nothing changes at the kindergarten. Another may play with the same children and toys on every visit. Young children who avoid new experiences will grow up to be more traditional than others. Psychologists (心理学家) argue that those who have more open personalities as children are more open than others might be when they are older and that young men have a greater interest_in_novelty than women, although as they age, this desire for new experiences fades more quickly than it does in women. 1．The first paragraph serves as a(n) ________. A．explanation B．introduction C．comment D．background 2．What does the author think is the key factor that prevents people trying out new experiences? A．Responsibilities. B．Partners. C．Age. D．Education. 3．The underlined part “interest in novelty” in the last paragraph most probably means “________”． A．independence B．excitement C．security D．curiosity 4．According to the passage, we can learn that ________. A．as one gets older, he prefers the old patterns of life B．a teenager is not interested in a new start before graduation C．women are more likely to try new things than men of the same age D．a child who likes different games may not like to change after growing up Ⅲ.书面表达 阅读下面的短文，然后按照要求写一篇 150 词左右的英语短文。 A little boy is telling his Grandma how “everything” is going wrong — school, family problems, severe health problems, etc. Meanwhile, Grandma is baking a cake.

Have some cooking oil.” “Terrible！” says the boy. “How about a couple of raw eggs？” “Terrible! Grandma！” “Would you like some flour then? Or maybe baking soda？” “Grandma, those are all awful！” To which Grandma replies. “Yes, all those things seem bad by themselves, but when they are put together in the right way, they make a wonderfully delicious cake！” “Life works the same way. Many times we wonder why it would let us go through such bad and difficult times. But life knows that when it puts these things all in their order, they always work for good！” “The trials (考验) of life serve a meaningful purpose in making us stronger. Do not lose heart if life is not easy for you right now, but encourage yourself and know you will be much stronger mentally and physically because of the trials of life.” [写作内容] 1．以约 30 个词概括这篇短文的内容； 2．然后以约 120 个词围绕“Facing the Trials of Life”进行议论。内容包括： (1)你阅读短文后的感受； (2)简述你经历过的一次困难或考验； (3)你认为应当如何看待生活中的考验。 [写作要求] 在作文中可以使用自己的亲身经历或虚构的故事，也可以参照阅读材料的内容但不得直接引用 原文中的句子。 Facing the Trials of Life

Trials of Life A boy complained about difficulties in life. His Grandma, who showed that a cake tasted delicious but its materials tasted awful, taught him that the trials of life make people stronger. From the story I have learned that the trials of life are of great importance in our growth. As the saying goes, “No cross, no crown.” Only by facing and overcoming 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 15 difficulties in our life can we grow up happily and healthily. It reminds me of my own experience when I joined in the military training after I entered senior high school. It was the first time I had lived away from my home, so I found it difficult to fit in. But the trials made it easier for me to adapt to life in senior high school, and the difficulties I came across have now become a precious memory in my life. Life consists of not only sunshine but also wind and rain. We should be brave in front of difficulties. Let's learn to use the trials of life we are facing as a steppingstone to future success!
