Researchers have discovered that women who receive an apology for hurtful behavior suffer less stress and possible damage to their heart than those who don’t.‎ It is said that the heartbeat of a wronged woman returns to normal 20 percent quicker after a well-timed “sorry” than without it. But for men, their heartbeat takes longer to recover, according to the research.‎ The research was undertaken by American scientists using 29 men and 59  women whose diastolic blood pressure（舒张压） was measured throughout an experiment. Diastolic blood pressure is a measure of pressure in the blood vessels（血管） between heartbeats---if it is continuously high it can increase the chances of heart attacks.‎ The men and women were asked to undertake a difficult mathematical task. They were told they had five minutes to complete it but were disturbed after a minute and told rudely to carry out the task more quickly. They were disturbed twice more before five minutes had passed and told to ‎ speed up. Finally they were told, “ You’re obviously not good enough.” Two minutes later researchers said sorry to half of the men and women.‎ The researchers found that, on average, the women’s diastolic blood pressure dropped back to normal 20 percent---quicker if they received an apology from the researchers, while the men’s took 20 percent longer to return to normal. One of the researchers said, “Results indicates that the effects of apology and forgiveness on women are greater.” ‎ ‎24. The term “sorry” is considered as one of the healthiest words because it _________.‎ A．is the most powerful B．can cure heart disease C．can reduce pressure and damage to the heart D．helps people forget hurtful behavior ‎25. We can know from Paragraph 3 that _________.‎ A．women’s hearts beat faster than men’s B．women are quicker at making apologies C．men can forgive others’ mistakes more easily than women D．men stay angry for a longer time than women after receiving an apology ‎26. Which of the following is the RIGHT time order for events in the study?‎ a. Half of them received apologies.‎ b. They were disturbed a minute later.‎ c. They were told that they weren’t good enough.‎ d. They were asked to finish a math task in five minutes.‎ e. They were disturbed two more times during the study.‎ A．d-b-e-c-a B．d-c-b-e-a C．d-b-c-e-a D．d-c-b-a-e ‎27. The research confirmed (证实) that _________.‎ A．people can also get healthy benefits from giving apologies B．women can benefit more from receiving apologies than men C．men are unwilling to apologize to others for their mistakes D．men’s chances of getting heart attacks are higher than women’s C People joke that no one in Los Angeles reads; everyone watches TV, rents videos, or goes to the movies．The most popular reading material is comic books，movie magazines，and TV guides. City libraries have only 10 percent of the traffic that car washes have. But how do you explain this? A yearly book festival in west Los Angeles is booming year after year. People wait half an hour for a parking space to become available.‎ This outdoor festival, sponsored by a newspaper, occurs every April for one weekend. This year’s attendance was estimated at 70, 000 on Saturday and 75, 000 on Sunday. The festival consisted of 280 exhibitors. There were about 90 talks given by authors, with an audience question-and-answer period following each talk. Autograph (亲笔签名)seekers sought out more than 150 authors. A short food street sold all kinds of popular food and various foreign foods, from American hamburgers to Hawaiian shave ice (刨冰) drinks. Except for a $7 parking fee, the festival was free. Even so, some people avoided the food street prices by staying away and having their own sandwiches and drinks.‎ People came from all over California. One couple drove down from San Francisco. “This is our sixth year here now. We love it.” said the husband. “It’s just fantastic to be in the great ‎ outdoors, to be among so many books and authors, and to get some very good deals, too.”‎ The idea for the festival occurred years ago, but nobody knew if it would succeed. Although book festivals were already popular in other US cities, would Los Angeles residents welcome one?“ The citizens of the city are very unpredictable,” said one of the festival founders.‎ ‎29. The underlined sentence in the first paragraph suggests that_________.‎ A. only a small proportion (比例) of the readers go to libraries by car B. city libraries provide fewer places for car washes C. city libraries have a very limited number of readers D. city libraries have fewer parking places ‎30. The outdoor book festival attracts__________.‎ A. autograph seekers and authors only B. people who like cooking C. people with different interests D. people who love Los Angeles ‎31. At the very beginning, people were about the idea for the book festival in Los Angeles.‎ A. confident B. indifferent C. pessimistic D. uncertain ‎32. The success of Los Angeles book festival shows that________.‎ ‎　　A. people attend the book festivals for fun not for reading ‎　　B. book reading is still popular in Los Angeles ‎　　C. libraries should have food streets to attract more readers ‎　　D. Los Angeles people prefer library to book festival D In 1978, I was 18 and was working as a nurse in a small town about 270 km away from Sydney, Australia. I was looking forward to having five days off from duty. Unfortunately, the only one train a day back to my home in Sydney had already left. So I thought I'd hitch a ride (搭便车).‎ I waited by the side of the highway for three hours but no one stopped for me. Finally, a man walked over and introduced himself as Gordon. He said that although he couldn't give me a lift, I should come back to his house for lunch. He noticed me standing for hours in the November heat and thought I must be hungry. I was doubtful as a young girl but he assured (使……放心) me I was safe, and he also offered to help me find a lift home afterwards. When we arrived at his house, he made us sandwiches. After lunch, he helped me find a lift home.‎ Twenty-five years later, in 2003, while I was driving to a nearby town one day, I saw an elderly man standing in the glaring heat, trying to hitch a ride. I thought it was another chance to repay someone for the favor I'd been given decades earlier. I pulled over and picked him up. I made him comfortable on the back seat and offered him some water.‎ After a few moments of small talk, the man said to me, “You haven't changed a bit, even your red hair is still the same.”‎ I couldn't remember where I'd met him. He then told me he was the man who had given me lunch and helped me find a lift all those years ago. It was Gordon.‎ ‎32.The author had to hitch a ride one day in 1978 because ________. ‎ A. her work delayed her trip to Sydney             B. she missed the only train back ‎ home C. she was going home for her holidays            D. the town was far away from Sydney ‎33.Which of the following did Gordon do according to Paragraph 2? ‎ ‎ A. He gave the author a ride back home.                  B. He bought sandwiches for the author.‎ ‎ C. He helped the author find a ride.            D. He watched the author for three hours.‎ ‎34.Why did the author offer a lift to the elderly man? ‎ ‎ A. She recognized he was Gordon.                     B. She had known him for decades.‎ ‎ C. She was going to the nearby town.                 D. She wanted to repay the favor she once got.‎ ‎35.What does the author want to tell readers through the story? ‎ ‎ A. Giving sometimes produces nice results.                B. Those who give rides will be repaid.‎ ‎ C. People should offer free rides to others.           D. Good manners bring about happiness.‎ 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。‎ Sleep and Teens--Biology and Behavior How much sleep do teens need? And how much sleep are they realistically getting? Based on current data, most teens need about 9-plus hours to have the best or most suitable sleep night. 36 ‎ Many factors combine to decrease sleep in adolescents. We can think in general of two major factors: biological, the brain processes that regulate the amount and timing of sleep, and behavior, all the psychological, parental, societal, cultural features of teen’s life.‎ ‎__37 These changes lay the ground work for the biological night to occur later during the teen years than before. Circadian Rhythms (daily biological clock) seems to slow down as young people progress through the middle school years. At the same time, the sleep pressure system appears to change in a way that makes it easier to stay awake longer, though without changing the amount of sleep that is needed.‎ Moreover, many teens have a "technological playground" in their bedrooms: television, computer with 24/7 Internet access, telephones, electronic game stations, MP3 players, and so forth. These technologies provide instant and constant contact with peers. Societal and media pressure to consume these technologies is now higher than ever. Yet society also requires that teens go to school at a time of day that is at odds with their biological and social lives. So we see teens turn to caffeine, late-night Internet and cramming in activity after activity as a means to keep awake. __38 .‎ Problems emerge for lack of sleep. 39 For some, grades begin to suffer as they struggle to keep awake during class and while doing homework. And others may simply feel moody, never knowing how to feel or do their best. Worse still, many teens suffer from both physical and mental illness.‎ ‎___40 The earlier teens can start this good sleep habit, the easier it will be for them to stay ‎ healthy, happy and smart.‎ A. Some teenagers struggle to wake up in the morning, often resulting in late or missed school.‎ B. Sleep experts recommend teens keep regular sleep and wake schedule. ‎ C. Then they are trapped into a terrible situation where they would never get enough sleep.‎ D. Teens may be driven to things that can wake them up because they'll fall asleep if they do not.‎ E. Teens may schedule sleep like any other daily activity and make sleep a priority.‎ F. However, it is indicated that most teens fall short of this goal, many by a considerable amount.‎ G.The sleep-wake bio-regulatory factors appear to change significantly during adolescence.‎ 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节 完形填空（共20小题，每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ ‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ AUS mum and her six boys decided to grow their hair together.

However, in my opinion, health is more important than beauty. For a student, studying is the first thing to consider while appearance is the second. So do not let others’ opinions affect your normal life. However, if you do want to lose weight, it is a good idea to do it by getting more exercise and changing unhealthy eating habits. The most important thing is that you keep a healthy state of mind, as it will help with your studies, and will also help you overcome difficulties in dieting.‎ ‎    I hope my advice will be helpful to you and I’m looking forward to your next letter.‎ Yours,‎ Li Hua
