Many people, however, are worried about the weight that comes along with these delicious foods.‎ With proper planning, though, it is possible to control your weight. The idea is to enjoy the holidays but not to eat too much. You don't have to turn away from the foods that you enjoy. The following suggestions may be of some help to you.‎ Don't miss meals. Before you leave home for a feast (宴会), have a small, lowfat snack. This may help to keep you from getting too excited before delicious foods.‎ Begin with clear soup and fruit or vegetables.‎ A large glass of water before you eat may help you feel full.‎ Use a small plate; a large plate will encourage you to have more than enough.‎ Better not have highfat foods. Dishes that look oily or creamy have much fat in them.‎ Choose lean meat. Fill your plate with salad and green vegetables.‎ If you have a sweet tooth, try mints (薄荷) and fruit. They don't have fat content as cream and chocolate.‎ Don't let exercise take a break during the holidays. A 20minute walk after a meal can help burn off excess calories (多余的热量)．‎ ‎24. Holidays are happy days with pleasure but they may ________.‎ A. bring weight problems B. bring you much trouble in your life C. make you worried about your foods D. make you hate delicious foods ‎25. In order to really enjoy your holidays without putting on weight, you'd better ________.‎ A. drink much water and have vegetables only ‎ B. not eat too much food in high fat C. not accept invitations to feasts D. turn away from delicious foods ‎26. According to the passage, ________ is a necessary part to stop you from putting on weight.‎ A. vegetables　　　B. water C. calories of energy D. physical exercise ‎27. Many people can't help putting on weight after the holidays because they ________.‎ A. can't control themselves B. go to too many feasts C. enjoy delicious foods D. can't help turning away from the foods C Some years ago, a 28yearold Californian wife and mother of three children died from drinking too much water. Her body was found in her home shortly after she took part in a waterdrinking contest that was held by a local radio show. Called “Hold Your Wee For A Wii”， the contest organizers promised a free Wii video game machine ‎ to those who drank the most water without going to the bathroom. The woman who died drank about 2 gallons of water during the contest. When she and other participants complained of discomfort and showed signs of pains, they were laughed at by the organizers.‎ This tragic news story shows the importance of understanding why drinking too much water can be dangerous to your health.‎ Consuming more water than you need can increase your total blood volume (容量). And since your blood volume exists within a closed system, increasing your blood volume puts unnecessary stress on your heart and blood vessels (血管). Your kidneys (肾) must work overtime to get rid of extra water out of your system. Your kidneys are not a pair of pipes. Flushing more water through your kidneys doesn't necessarily help it become cleaner. Rather, your kidneys can get damaged by unnecessary wear and tear over time. And drowning your system with large amounts of water is one of many potential causes of kidney damage.‎ Putting unnecessary stress on your system and your kidneys by consuming unnecessary water is an unnoticeable process. For the average person, it is usually impossible to know that this stress exists, as there are usually no obvious symptoms on a momenttomoment basis. But make no mistake about it: this stress is real and can hurt your health over the long term.‎ ‎28. Why is the Californian woman mentioned?‎ A. To lead to the topic of the text.‎ B. To tell us a tragic news story about a mother.‎ C. To tell us it can be dangerous to take part in contests.‎ D. To tell us how much water we can drink at most one time.‎ ‎29. When the participants showed signs of pains, the organizers ________.‎ A. became very concerned B. were laughed at by others C. tried to reduce their pains D. didn't pay much attention to them ‎30. What's the main idea of Paragraph 3?‎ A. How water is consumed in our body.‎ B. The importance of water to our health.‎ C. Why drinking too much water is dangerous.‎ D. The function of kidneys in consuming water.‎ ‎31. The stress caused by consuming unnecessary water ________.‎ A. isn't that dangerous B. can never be found out C. is really harmful in the long run D. leads to some obvious symptoms D There are several reasons why cats climb trees, mostly to do with defensive purposes.Cats, as predators (捕食者), like to understand their environment well.Cats climb trees to get a better view of their surroundings, to help them see any potential dangers or potential prey (被掠食者)．‎ While cats are predators, they can also be easily attacked by larger animals.A tree often provides a safe hiding place.In the wild, cats climb up trees to give them a resting place that is out of predators' range.It also helps disguise their presence, which can prevent any prey from noticing that there is a cat nearby.‎ Sometimes some cats may climb trees for fun, or possibly to work on improving their climbing abilities. Kittens frequently test out their claw skills by trying to climb up everything, from bookcases to trees to a person’s leg.Climbing practice is good for cats; it can improve their strength and flexibility and teach them an important defensive skill.To prevent them from practicing indoor climbing of your furniture, however, owners may wish to buy a carpeted cat tree for climbing.‎ If a cat has gotten up a tree and cannot get down, the owner may wonder why its remarkable climbing abilities only work in one direction.A cats claw’s curve (弯曲) inward, allowing it to take hold of surfaces while going up head first.Unfortunately, this useful climbing curve does nothing to help the animal get back down again.Eventually, most trapped kittens will either jump out of the tree or realize that they can get down by going tail first.Either way, a cat up a tree is usually nothing to panic about unless it is injured; they are intelligent animals and will find out how to get down sooner or later.‎ ‎32. In most cases, cats climb trees in order to ________.‎ A. have fun　　　　　　 B. seek food C. defend themselves D. please their owners ‎33. What does the underlined word “disguise” in Paragraph 2 mean?‎ A. Find out. B. Focus on.‎ C. Make clear. D. Cover up.‎ ‎34. Why do people want to buy carpeted cat trees?‎ A. To train their cats in climbing.‎ B. To help protect their furniture.‎ C. To improve their cats' claw skills.‎ D. To keep their cats warm in winter.‎ ‎35. Seeing your cat up a tree, you are supposed to ________.‎ A. just take it easy B. lead it down slowly C. feed some food to it at once D. keep an eye on it all the time 第二节 (共5小题;每小题2分，满分10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。‎ Every day can be a fresh, new beginning — this is very important if you had a difficult day before.

I'm glad to tell you something about the Dragon Boat Festival. The Dragon Boat Festival，one of the Chinese traditional festivals，is celebrated on the fifth day of the fifth month according to the Chinese lunar calendar． ‎ Dating back to over 2，000 years ago，the festival is celebrated in memory of Qu Yuan，who threw himself into a river to oppose the emperor's corruption．Over the ‎ years，the story of Qu's has been transformed into the two main traditions：racing dragon boats which need great team spirit and eating zongzi, a kind of pyramid-shaped rice dumplings wrapped in bamboo leaves．‎ In my opinion，it is necessary to attach importance to our traditional festivals，for they're part of our culture．Meanwhile, it is a good chance for family members to get together and enjoy the festival atmosphere.‎ How do you like The Dragon Boat Festival? I'm looking forward to hearing from you .‎ Yours sincerely,‎ Li Hua
