Some roads bent, while underground pipes burst.It was the strongest earthquake to strike Napa Valley in 15 years. No one was killed, but many people were injured and treated in hospitals. Scientists say the earthquake is a 6-magnitude(震级) quake. David Applegate works for the United States Geological Survey. He says Californians are lucky because the earthquake did not cause major damage to water mains ---large pipelines that carry water. He notes that a lot of the losses in the quake were from fires because water mains have been broken, and there is no quick way to fix them. He describes that as a fortunate thing because earthquakes usually come as a surprise. “Short-term prediction is not feasible, but what we can know is where large earthquakes will occur.” This means that scientists can predict the possibilities that an earthquake will hit a given area over the next several years. When a quake begins,however,scientists can warn the people in its path. David Applegate says the warning may not come long before the quake strikes. But he adds that 10 or 20 seconds may be enough to help you save your life. Like anything, he says, it is wise to have a plan that includes how to get fresh water and how to find beloved ones after the disaster. The people of northern California were lucky in the earthquake that could have been far more damaging. But others also have cause for celebration. It seems that Napa Valley will continue exporting wine as usual. That is also likely part of the survival plan. 21. What is the function of the first paragraph? A. To show Napa Valley suffered a lot.

We all need to have an adequate amount of sleep so as to be able to function well on both mental and physical tasks. Sleep is probably the best beauty treatment available to a person, allowing you to look younger overnight. This is probably the most superficial(表面的) benefit of sleep. The other benefits are incredibly important. The amount of sleep that is required varies from one person to another and in many cases one person is at risk of not getting enough sleep. It is all too easy to settle into a habit that doesn't really suit you when your partner or spous requires less sleep than you. They may well try to get up quietly and leave you resting a little longer. If they are successful in slipping out of the room and you remain in the same state of sleep then you are very lucky. Many people find themselves being disturbed by either sound or movement and then it can be difficult to return to an adequate depth of sleep.

According to medical studies, laughter isn't just about having fun - it actually has many health benefits. Studies have shown that the act of laughing can make blood pressure fall, reduce stress and improve immune (有免疫力的 ) function. Not only that, but laughter can also provide benefits similar to those of an antidepressant (抗 抑郁药). When you laugh, your body lets out something that results in a general feeling of health and happiness. Regular laughter can play a role in helping you to avoid many health problems. Thus, not only do women tend to laugh more than men, they are also more likely to “have the last laugh” . According to a study at the Stanford University School of Medicine, gender(性别) can affect the way that a person's brain responds to humor. The study, which is about the monitoring of 10 men and 10 women watching cartoons, showed that women are more likely than men to use the part of the brain that manages rewards. It seemed that women had lower expectations about a reward (in this case, the reward being the punchline(妙语) of the joke or cartoon, which resulted in them enjoying the experience more than men. Men, on the other hand, seemed to expect that they would find the cartoons humorous, and were therefore more likely to be disappointed and find them less funny. Women are more likely to respond to men whom they find humorous and men seem to recognize this and do their best to make women laugh. It has been shown that women are more likely to laugh in the presence of men whom they like and men are more likely to be attracted to women who laugh in their presence because it makes them feel better. Clearly, it is important to men that a woman appreciates their humor. 32. The studies show that regular laughter can . A. raise blood pressure B. keep us nervous C. make immune function worse D. keep us healthy and happy 33. Why do women experience laughter more than men? A.

What's the main idea of the passage? A. Women laugh more than men. B. Laughter has many health benefits. C. Women enjoy humor more than men. D. Humorous men are popular with women 第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分） 根据下列短文内容，从文章后的选项中选出能入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为 多余选项。 Tests and exams assess not only your subject knowledge, but also your ability to use the appointed time wisely. 36 Do… 37 Try to answer the questions that are worth a lot of points before those only worth a few points.This will allow you to spend more time on the higher point questions than the lower ones ,which can provide a big increase for your final grade.
