Steve Evets played the role of the postman, Eric Bishop, while Cantona played himself.‎ Shaolin Soccer The 2001 film is a sports comedy that tells the story of a Shaolin follower who forms a soccer team with his brothers. The whole team gains popularity for the players’ martial arts(武术) skills. Stephen Chow, Ng Man-tat, and Wong Yat-fei played the leading roles of the movie.‎ The Damned United The movie, produced in 2009, tells the story of Brian Clough, a coach of the English soccer team, Leeds Untied, in 1974. Michael Sheen starred as manager Clough.‎ Gregory’s Girl Being one of the first movies about soccer, Gregory’s Girl tells the story of a teenage couple who fall in love while playing on the same team.

During the experiment, these people were given all kinds of breakfast, and sometimes they got no breakfast at all. Special tests were set up to see how well their bodies worked when they had eaten a certain kind of breakfast. The results show that if a person eats a proper breakfast, he or she will work with better effort than if he or she has no breakfast. This fact appears to be especially true if a person works with his brains. If a student eats fruit, eggs, bread and milk before going to school, he will learn more quickly and listen with more attention in class. Contrary to what many people believe, people become so hungry at noon that they ‎ eat too much for lunch, and end up gaining weight instead of losing. You will probably lose more weight if you reduce other meals.‎ ‎25．The title of the passage should be ________.‎ A． the importance of breakfast B． the result of a test C． breakfast will make you clever D． breakfast is more important than other meals ‎26．Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?‎ A． Poor breakfast affects those who work with brains.‎ B． Morning diet may cause one to get fatter.‎ C． Reducing lunch and supper is of less value in weight-losing.‎ D． Eating less in lunch and supper may help to lose weight.‎ ‎27．During the test, those who were tested were given ________.‎ A． no breakfast at all B． very rich breakfast C． little food for breakfast D． different foods or none.‎ ‎28．The passage mentions that many people believe that if you don't eat breakfast, you will ________.‎ A． lose weight B． not lose weight C． be healthier D． gain a lot of weight C Sarah came running in. “Look what I found.” Over the top of the paper I was reading came a crispy long object that caused me to jump. It was a snake skin that had been shed by one of our many garden snakes.‎ ‎“Isn’t it beautiful?” said my wide-eyed seven-year-old.‎ I stared at the organic wrapper and thought to myself that it really wasn’t that beautiful, but I have learned never to appear uninterested with children. They see only good quality and excellence in the world until educated otherwise.‎ ‎“Why does it do this?” Sarah asked.‎ ‎“Snakes shed their skin because they need to renew themselves,” I explained. “Why ‎ do they need to renew themselves?” Sarah asked.‎ I suddenly remembered an article on this page many years ago where the writer was expressing her concept of renewal. She used layers of paper over a wall to describe how we hide our original selves, and said that by peeling away those layers one by one, we see the original beneath. “We often need to shed our skins and those coatings that we cover ourselves with,” I said to my now absorbed daughter. “We outgrow some things and find other ones unwanted or unnecessary. This snake no longer needs this skin. It is probably too crinkly（起皱的）for him, and he probably doesn’t think he looks as smart in it as he once did.”‎ Sarah was getting the point. As we talked, I knew that she began to understand, although slightly, that renewal is part of progress; that we need to take a good look at ourselves, our rooms, schoolwork and creativity, and see what we need to keep and what we need to cast off. I was careful to point out that this is a natural consequence of their growth.‎ ‎“I see, Dad,” said Sarah and jumped off my lap and ran off.‎ I hoped she would remember this. That often, in order to find our real selves underneath the layers of community and culture with which we cover ourselves year after year, we need to start examining these layers. We need to gently peel some away, as we recognize them to be worthless or unnecessary; or at best, store the ones thrown away as mementoes（念想）of our promotion to a better vitality or spirit.‎ ‎29．At the first sight of the snake skin, the author was .‎ A． scared B． puzzled C． uninterested D． excited ‎30．Sarah learned from her father that renewal is .‎ A． to recover the layers inside B． to review what has been done C． a natural part of getting mature D． the process of finding the unwanted ‎31．It can be inferred from the passage that the author ________.‎ A． dislikes the snake skin at all B． shows concern for nature and culture C． can grasp the chance to educate children D． often encourages his daughter to raise questions ‎32．The author mainly tells the reader that ________.‎ A． snakes cast off the layers to look smarter B． we should renew ourselves to get improved C． snakes shed their skins to renew themselves D． we should explore our original nature underneath D In recent years, yoga(瑜珈) has become popular with people for its health. Because of the focus on the physical sides of yoga, like postures and breathing, few people realize that they are taking part in an ancient practice, developing from Indian religion.‎ Yoga originated in India in the sixth century B． C, when people were trying to answer questions about the nature of the self and the soul. It started as a practice only done by ascetics (僧人). So it was not something that the ordinary people did.‎ Yoga is not only a physical practice but also a mental practice, designed to reduce the focus on the external (外部), said Whitney Sanford, professor of religious studies. Most people pay much attention to daily existence and as a result, they lead busy lives, while yoga provides people with a technique to cut off their devotion to the external.‎ Samantha Tam said that practicing yoga improved her flexibility and treated her injuries. “Every time after practicing yoga, I always felt really relaxed and was in a good mood,” she said.‎ Yoga was probably introduced on a popular level in America in the 1960s and 1970s,　when Western people began to show curiosity about other religions. Now most people pursue yoga to relieve stress, and fair numbers of people are simply curious.‎ ‎33．According to the passage, yoga was originally performed for　　　　　.‎ A． its health 　　　　　 B． relaxed and healthy life C． religious reasons 　　 D． the need of the soul ‎34．Yoga is the following EXCEPT　　　　　.‎ A． a physical practice 　　　　　　　　‎ B． a mental practice C． a way of paying attention to the external ‎ D．a way of reduing the focus on the external ‎35．Today, people do yoga for many reasons EXCEPT　　　　　.‎ A． to get rid of stress 　　　 B． to treat injuries C． to satisfy their curiosity 　 D． to become a hindu(印度人)‎ 第二节（共5小题，每小题2分,满分10分）‎ While it is impossible to live completely free of stress, it is possible to prevent stress as well as reduce its effect when it can’t be avoided. 36．‎ ‎● 37． When you are nervous，angry or upset, try releasing the pressure through exercise or physical activity．Running, walking, playing tennis, and working in your garden are just some of the activities you might try．‎ ‎●Take care of yourself ‎38． If you easily get angry and can’t sleep well enough, or if you’re not eating properly, it will be more likely that you will fall into stressful situations．If stress repeatedly keeps you from sleeping, you should consult a doctor．‎ ‎●Make time for yourself Schedule time for both work and entertainment．Don't forget, play can be just as important to your overall well-being as work． 39．Go window-shopping or work on a hobby．Allow yourself at least a half hour each day to do something you enjoy．‎ ‎● 40．‎ Stress can result from disorganization and a feeling that “there’s so much to do, and not enough time”．Trying to take care of everything at once can be too much for you and as a result, you may not achieve anything．Instead, make a list of everything you have to do, then do one thing at a time, checking off each task as it is completed．Set out to do the most important task first．‎ A．Do whatever you like and want to do．‎ B．You should make every effort to eat well and get enough rest．‎ C．Make a list of things to do．‎ D．Try physical activity．‎ E．You need a break from your daily routine to just relax and have fun．‎ F．You could smile to yourself in front of a mirror every day．‎ G．The following are suggestions for ways to deal with stress．‎ 第三部分：语言知识运用(共两节,满分４５分)‎ 第一节（共20小题，每小题材1.5分,满分30分）‎ 阅读下面的短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项中选出最佳答案．‎ One year after Tom was born, his parents had a car accident.
