BSettled by the Celts, invaded by the Romans and the Normans, and ruled by the English, Wales population has regularly changed over the ages. Wales, particularly South Wales, became a melting pot of European nationaliti
18、es and cultures. At first workers from England, Ireland and the rural areas of Wales rushed into the coalfields of South Wales. By 1911, workers from Ireland, Italy and Spain had joined the industrial workforce there. Many of these newcomers were prepared to work for less pay. But during this period
19、, workers, dissatisfied with regular pay cuts, poor safety, the growing trend of employers to pay workers with tokens (代币), which could only be spent in the company store, returned to the land. In 1891, the rural population of Wales was about 616,000 and by 1911 just over 649,000 people lived and wo
20、rked in these areas. The rural population continues to grow slowly even today. People from richer parts of the UK, particularly southern England, are buying holiday or retirement homes in Wales. In some areas this has led to a shortage of affordable housing for local people. This, combined with the
21、lack of employment prospects in rural Welsh communities, has started a new movement of people in search of jobs and homes into the towns and cities of Wales and to other parts of the UK and Europe. As so many Welsh people have migrated to other countries over the last 200 years, its really no surpri
22、se that many visitors come to see friends and relatives there were 229,000 visitors in 1998.

A. visiting their friends and relatives B. supporting the Welsh economy C. enjoying a cool and pleasant summer D. all of the above 28. What would be the best title for the passage? A. Tourism, the main econo
26、mic source of Wales.B. Wales, a land with a promising past and future.C. Wales, the biggest melting pot of Europe. D. Wales, a land with a population on the move.CCompared to people with bad attitudes, people who are cheerful and relaxed are less likely to suffer from colds, according to a new study
27、. “Its possible that being upbeat helps the body fight illnesses,” says psychologist Sheldon Cohen, the studys lead researcher. In a previous study, Cohen and his colleagues put cold-causing viruses into the noses of 334 healthy adults. People who tended to be cheerful and lively were least likely t
28、o develop cold symptoms and were also less likely to mention symptoms to their doctors, even when medical tests discovered those symptoms. Those findings could explain the role positive feelings played, but it was still possible that a persons personality is what matters. Evidence suggests that cert
29、ain people are naturally more likely to be outgoing and optimistic. This would mean that who we are, not how we feel, decides our chances of catching colds. To figure out which mattered more, the team interviewed 193 healthy adults. The researchers interviewed each person over the phone every evenin
30、g for 2 weeks. At the end of the interviewing period, people got nose drops that contained either cold or flu viruses. Then, each person stayed in an isolated（隔离的）room for 5 or 6 days. The results showed that everyone in the study was equally likely to get infected. Their symptoms, however, differed
31、 depending on the types of emotions that they had reported over the previous 2 weeks. Among those who reported good moods and had been infected with the flu virus, 28 percent developed coughs and stuffy noses. On the other hand, those symptoms struck 41 percent of people who had been less cheerful.
32、Scientists argue about whether negative emotions or positive emotions have a stronger impact on how healthy we are. For now, it wont hurt to look on the bright side more often than not!29. The underlined word “upbeat” in the first paragraph probably means A. strong B. optimistic C. friendly D. indep
33、endent 30. In the previous study, researchers found that _.A. cheerful people didnt get infected with cold virusesB. a persons attitude determined whether he would get sickC. medical tests couldnt find cold symptoms in cheerful people D. a cheerful attitude may reduce the chances of getting ill 31.
34、During the study, 193 healthy adults were told to report _.A. the feelings they experienced every day B. any cold symptoms that appeared every day C. their daily activities D. their daily state of health32. It can be inferred that a persons _ has a big effect on how healthy we are. A. emotional stat
35、e B. personalityC. age D. exercise regime（方法） DThe world is not only hungry, but also thirsty for water. This may seem strange to you, since nearly 75% of the earths surface is covered with water, but about 97% of this big amount is sea water, or salt water. People can only drink and use the other 3
36、% the fresh water that comes from rivers, lakes, underground, and other places. We cannot even use all of that, because some of it is in the form of icebergs. Even worse, a lot of it has been polluted. At the moment, this small amount of fresh water is still enough for us. However, our need for wate
37、r is increasing quickly. Only if we take steps to deal with this problem now can we avoid a serious worldwide water shortage later on. One of the useful steps we can take is to stop the unlimited use of water. In addition to stopping people from wasting our precious water, another useful step we sho
38、uld take is to develop ways of reusing it. Experiments have already been done in this field. Today, in most large cities, water is used only once before it returns to the sea or runs into underground storage tanks. But it is possible to send the used water to companies that can clean water. There th
39、e water can be filtered (过滤) and treated with chemicals so that it can be used again just as if it came from a spring. But even if every large city cleaned and reused its water, we would still not have enough. Where can we turn next? To the oceans! All we should have to do to use large amounts of se
40、a water is to remove the salt. This salt-removing process is already in use in many parts of the world. 33. How much of the earths surface is covered with the water that we can drink and use?A. About 97%. B. Nearly 75%. C. More than 3%. D. Less than 3%.34. How do people use water in most large citie
41、s at present?A. People dont make full use of the water that is used only once.B. People waste much water in experiments.C. People treat the used water with chemicals for recycling.D. People drain the used water to some places to clean it.35. Which of the following can be the best title for this pass
42、age?A. Should we cherish the limited water.B. How to make use of water.C. The attitudes towards the use of water. D. How to reuse water.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。Do you know how it is when you see someone yawn and you start yawning too? 36 Well, apparently its be
43、cause we have mirror neurons (神经元）in our brains.Put simply, the existence of mirror neurons suggests that every time we see someone else do something, our brains imitate (模仿)it, whether or not we actually perform the same action. 37 But the idea goes further: mirror neurons not only appear to explai
44、n physical actions，they also tell us that there is a biological basis for the way we understand other people.Mirror neurons can undoubtedly be found all over our brains, but especially in the areas which relate to our ability to use languages and to understand how other people feel. 38 A group of re
45、searchers discovered that if they gave people sentences to listen to (for example: “The hand took hold of the ball”), the same mirror neurons were triggered as when the action was actually performed (in this example, actually taking hold of a ball). 39 Much research suggests that people with social
46、and behavioral problems have mirror neurons which are not fully functioning. However, it is not yet known exactly how these discoveries might help find treatments for social disorders.Research into mirror neurons seems to provide us with ever more information concerning how humans behave and interac

Any problems with mirror neurons may well result in problems with behavior.C. We can do this in our daily lif
