As an obvious result, skin health and maintenance is vital. Your skin does everything from protecting you from the elements to assisting you with breathing. Your skin keeps your body hydrated (含水的) and regulates your body’s temperature. In the end, this really is only the beginning of all of the various vital functions that your skin provides to you.‎ Despite the extreme importance of a person’s skin, the reality is that many people simply do not pay much attention to issues relating to the health of their skin. With that in mind, there are some prime tips and pointers that you must always keep in mind when it comes to the health and protection of your skin.‎ Protection against harmful rays from the sun is one of the roost important steps that you need to take. With this in mind it is vitally important that you make certain you use solid protection when you go out into the sun.‎ Your diet also has a direct effect on the health of your skin. The most important aspect of your diet in relation to the health of your skin is to make certain that you eat a proper amount of food items that contain the proteins and nutrients necessary for cellular maintenance, repair and regeneration (再生). With this in mind, your skin cells actually rely on a sufficient amount of carbohydrates.‎ Water is also important to the health of your skin. While you certainly have heard it before, it actually is true that you should drink at least eight (8-ounce) glasses of fresh and pure water every day. There are many health benefits you can get from drinking water daily, including maintaining ‎ healthy skin.‎ Finally, when it comes to the health of your skin today and into the future you should avoid smoking all together. In addition, you should drink alcohol only in moderation. Both smoking and too much alcohol consumption can negatively affect the health of your skin in significant ways.‎ ‎59. The most suitable title of the passage may be .‎ A. Habits and skin health B. Tips for soft and smooth skin C. How to keep our skin healthy D. An essential organ of our body ‎60. The writer lists some of the functions of skin in the beginning part to .‎ A. give the readers a summary of the main topic of the passage B. make an analysis of the main topic of the passage C. give a brief introduction to the main topic of the passage D. draw readers’ attention to the main topic of the passage ‎61. Which of the following DOES NOT help maintain the health of skin?‎ A. Using solid protection when exposed to the sun.‎ B. Drinking alcohol in moderation.‎ C. Including adequate carbohydrates in diet.‎ D. Drinking enough fresh and pure water every day.‎ C For many parents, raising a teenager is like fighting a long war, but years go by without any clear winner. Like a border conflict between neighboring countries, the parent-teen war is about boundaries: Where is the line between what I control and what you do?‎ Both sides want peace, but neither feels it has any power to stop the conflict. In part, this is because neither is willing to admit any responsibility for starting it. From the parents’ point of view, the only cause of their fight is their adolescents’ complete unreasonableness. And of course, the teens see it in exactly the same way, except oppositely. Both feel trapped.‎ In this article, I’ll describe three no-win situations that commonly arise between teens and parents and then suggest some ways out of the trap. The first no-win situation is quarrels over unimportant things. Examples include the color of the teen’s hair, the cleanliness of the bedroom, the preferred style of clothing, the child’s failure to eat a good breakfast before school, or his tendency to sleep until noon on the weekends.‎ Second, blaming. The goal of a blaming battle is to make the other admit that his bad attitude is the reason why everything goes wrong.‎ Third, needing to be right. It doesn’t matter what the topic is—politics, the laws of physics, or the proper way to break an egg——the point of these arguments is to prove that you are right and the other person is wrong, for both wish to be considered an authority—someone who actually knows something—and therefore to command respect. Unfortunately, as long as parents and teens continue to assume that—they know more than the other, they’ll continue to fight these battles forever and never make any real progress.‎ ‎62. Why does the author compare the parent-teen war to a border conflict?‎ A. Both can continue for generations. B. Both are about where to draw the line.‎ C. Neither has any clear winner. D. Neither can be put to an end.‎ ‎63. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 mean?‎ A. The teens blame their parents for starting the conflict.‎ B. The teens agree with their parents on the cause of the conflict.‎ C. The teens accuse their parents of misleading them.‎ D. The teens tend to have a full understanding of their parents.‎ ‎64. Parents and teens want to be right because they want to .‎ A. give orders to the other B. know more than the other C. gain respect from the other D. get the other to behave properly ‎65. What will the author most probably discuss in the paragraph that follows?‎ A. Causes for the parent-teen conflicts. B. Examples of the parent-teen war.‎ C. Solutions for the parent-teen problems. D. Future of the parent-teen relationship.‎ D The heated water splashes(溅) against my shoulders, but still I panic. My son has been swimming along the bottom of the Holiday Inn pool, a playful otter(水獭) circling my legs. He surfaces, his wet blond hair shining in winter afternoon light. “I’ll show you how to swim underwater,” he says.‎ An only child, he likes to teach my husband and me, reversing the usual order of his life. He has taught us something important to an eight-year-old: how to multiply numbers, draw animals, play the violin. Usually I’m a willing student. But this lesson I’ve avoided for months. ‎ At Kieran’s age, I learned to fear the water. I whip-kicked my legs and windmilled(像风车般地转动) my arms during swimming lessons, but I couldn’t trust my body to float. My anxious mind would not let go. Fear pushed me down. Again and again, I slipped under the surface and breathed in water. It burned like shame.‎ Over the years, in lakes and oceans, I’ve kept my head above the surface, where I can see, my face never dipping(浸) into the black depths. I learned not to sink. But I never found the freedom of swimming that came easily to my friends, who jumped off docks and ran through waves. Self-doubt hardened into habit, then strong belief. I have not swum underwater in decades. I don’t think I can.‎ The one person unwilling to accept this is four feet tall and wearing swimming trunks printed with blue sharks. Now it is just my son and me in the deserted pool and a question hanging between us in the humid air. Can you try? His waiting face is open with possibility. ‎ I think of the hard things we have asked of Kieran.‎ The days I left him at preschool, his eyes tear-heavy as I slipped away. The times he bared his arm for shots from the doctor. Earlier times in pools when he, too, feared deep water.‎ I cannot say no.‎ ‎“Try to swim to me,” he says. In the first swimming lessons my husband scheduled for him, Kieran would not dip his face into the water. But then he put his head under water, and one day, he dived into the pool.‎ Now his voice, calm and authoritative(权威的), comforts me. “It’s not very far.”‎ From the pool’s edge, down the row of empty lounge chairs, Kieran towers above the water. A few years from now, adolescence will remove his boyishness. I glance at the man who will appear. “When I count to three, you start,” he says in his teacher voice. “OK?”‎ ‎“OK,” I say.‎ ‎“One, two, three. Go!” I don’t move.‎ ‎“Let’s try again,” he says quietly. “One, two, three!”‎ After more false starts, I know I must act. I breathe in air, shut my eyes tight, and jump in. Beneath the surface, sound stops. I travel blind in this liquid world, struggling forward, pushing water aside. I hold my breath until I cannot anymore. I burst up into cool air. I don’t see Kieran. I have glided right past him.‎ ‎“I did it,” I say, unbelieving. Time slips off its track. Those childhood struggles, these minutes ‎ in the pool—the years come into my mind. My child has urged me past the old pain.‎ ‎66. We can learn from the passage that______. ‎ A. Kieran was a skilled swimmer, born with love of water B. the writer refused to learn any lesson from her son ‎ C. past swimming experiences had a big effect on the writer D. the writer jumped into the pool on thinking of Kieran’s childhood ‎67. The underlined word “reversing” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to______.‎ A. keeping B. changing C. designing D. presenting ‎68. Which of the following helped the writer to change her attitude to swimming?‎ A. Kieran patiently showed how to swim in the pool.‎ B. Her husband and son scheduled swimming lessons for her.‎ C. The writer was willing to improve her swimming skills.‎ D. She thought of the hard things she required of her son.‎ ‎69. Which of the following can be used to describe Kieran?‎ A. Curious and adventurous. B. Energetic and creative.[.Co C. Helpful and persuasive(有说服力的). D. Outgoing and proud. ‎ ‎70. What is the best title for the passage?‎ A. My swimming teacher B. An unforgettable experience C. Hobbies of my family D. Our lovely son 第Ⅱ卷（共 35 分）‎ 第四部分：任务型阅读（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）‎ 请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的单词。注意：每空格1个单词。‎ I like finding ways to improve my life and bring more positivity into it. Although I’m just at the beginning of that journey, I’ve already found some useful ideas for doing just that. Maybe they can help you to have more fun, improve your relationships, your business, your health and your life. I hope so.‎ Appreciating as much as you can is one of those very simple things you can do to bring more positivity into your life. I have also found appreciation to be a great way to turn an angry, sad and frustrated mood around to a more positive one. Simply appreciate anywhere and everywhere in your ‎ day: appreciate the great weather, and appreciate the good-looking guy that just walked past you. Appreciate the things you have and the things you experience. Doing this for a minute or two always gives me positive encouragement and improves my outlook on the world.‎ If you don’t stop comparing yourself to others, then you’ll just create a lot of unnecessary pain in your life. If you pass one person then you’ll just find another person more successful than you. And your brief sense of being a winner will transform once again into anxiety, fear, stomachaches and possibly heart attacks. Instead start comparing yourself to yourself. Try to improve yourself and see how you grow, and become a more successful and happier person. Focus on yourself, not the other people around you, no matter if they are more or less successful. It may sound updated, but I feel it’s both a healthier and more successful way to work and view life.‎ Your emotions work backwards, too. So even if you don’t feel positive, confident, calm or decisive you can act like it. And after you have done that for a few minutes, guess what happens? You will actually start to feel positive, confident, calm or decisive. If you don’t know how to act, observe other people around you-it may be friends, co-workers, family or celebrities from any time and age— who have the quality you’d like to have. Then imitate them. If you don’t believe in this, then just smile — even if you have to force yourself-for 30 seconds right now and see how you feel after that.‎ Michael Jordan once said: “I’ve missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And is why I succeed. ” Society may have brought you up to fear failure. But if you can rethink failure not as something to fear but rather useful feedback, it can improve your life largely. A failure may hurt for a while but then you can learn one or many lessons from it. And then you try and again, and again. And failure becomes less and less frightening. All successful people have failed many times. But they know that there are still a lot of great new people and opportunities out there. So they try again. And sooner or later they have success once again.‎ Title: Great Ways to Live a More Positive Life Passage outline Supporting details More appreciation Appreciation is a great way to turn a 71. mood to a positive one.

Then the elephant asked the fly, “Why are you so restless and noisy? Why can’t you stay for a while in one place? ”‎ The fly answered, “I am attracted to whatever I see, hear or smell. My senses pull me constantly in all directions and I cannot resist them. What is your secret? How can you stay so calm and still?”‎ The elephant said, “My senses do not rule my attention.

The elephant revealed that calmness would be obtained when one’s senses and attention were focused. (32词)‎ Inspired by what the elephant said, I realized the ability to focus one’s attention is the key to ‎ success. Any person, if easily distracted, is unable to achieve his success.‎ This reminds me of what happened in my primary school. I once signed up for too many various after-class activities. As a result, I didn’t spend enough time on my studies. Consequently, I fell behind and failed in exams….‎ Since then I know that one should focus on one thing before it is well done. As a Senior Three student, having set a clear goal, I will give priority to it, trying to resist any temptation. I’m fully aware that only with a determined mind can I achieve my goal.‎
