25、re fast losing the art of relaxation. Once you are in the habit of rushing through life, being on the 41 from morning till night, it is hard to slow down. But relaxation is 42 for a healthy mind and body. Stress is a natural part of everyday life and there is no way to avoid it. In fact, it is not t
26、he bad thing as often 43 to be. A certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation and give purpose to life. It is only when the stress gets out of control that it can lead to poor 44 and ill health. The amount of stress a person can stand depends very much on the individual. Some people are
27、not afraid of stress, and such characters are obviously prime 45 for managerial responsibilities; others lose heart at the first sign of unusual difficulties. When 46 to stress, in whatever form, we react both chemically and physically. In fact we make choice between “flight or fight” and in more pr
28、imitive (远古的) days the choices made the difference between life or death. The 47 we meet today are unlikely to be so extreme, but however little the stress, it 48 the same response. It is when such a reaction lasts long, through continued exposure to stress, that health becomes 49 . Since we cant re
29、move stress from our lives (it would be unwise to do so even if we could), we need to find ways to deal with it. III. Reading comprehension:Section ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase th
30、at best fits the context.We all remember seeing hitchhikers, standing by the side of the road, thumb sticking out, waiting for a lift. But it is getting 50 nowadays. What killed hitchhiking? 51 is often mentioned as a reason. Movies about murderous hitchhikers and real-life crime have put many drive
31、rs off 52 hitchhikers. That no single women picked me up on my journey to Manchester no doubt 53 the safety fear: a large, strangely dressed man is seen as dangerous.But the reason may be more 54 : hitchhiking happens where people dont have cars and transport services are poor. Plenty of people stil
32、l hitchhike in Poland and Romania. Perhaps the rising level of 55 in the UK means the few people left hitchhiking are usually considered strange. Why cant they afford cars? Three-quarters of the UK population have access to a car; many of the remainder will be quite old. The 56 hitchhiking populatio
33、n is therefore small. Yet my trip proves its still 57 to hitchhike. The people who picked me up were very interesting lawyer, retired surgeon, tank commander, carpenter, man who live in an isolated farmhouse and a couple living up in the mountains. My 58 is that only really interesting people are ma
34、d enough to pick up fat blokes (家伙) in red, spotted scarves. Most just wanted to do someone a good turn; a few said they were so surprised to see a hitchhiker that they couldnt help 59 .The 60 of hitchhiking most likely lies with car-sharing organized over the Internet, via sites such as hitchhikers
35、. org. But for now, you can still stick your thumb out (actually, I didnt do much of that, 61 just to hold up my destination sign) and people wonderful, caring, sharing, unafraid people will stop.In the UK, with its cheap coaches and reasonable rail service, I dont think Ill make a 62 of it. But hav

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For e
40、ach of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)London has become a cycle friendly zone after the launch of a new bike hire scheme. It has been designed to encourage more people to cycle in
41、 and around central London.So how does it work？First you have to sign up to the scheme to be sent a key. The key will unlock one of the bikes，which are kept at docking stations in and around central London. You have to pay an access fee for the key and then you pay as you go for the length of time y
42、ou use the bike.Transport for London, which runs the scheme，are hoping to have 6,000 bikes and 400 docking stations in place by the end of the year. The new hire system is hoping to ease congestion (拥挤) in London and is expected to create up to 40,000 extra cycle trips a day into the city centre. Lo
43、ndon Mayor Boris Johnston launched the scheme and said London had been “filled with thousands of gleaming machines that will transform the look and feel of our streets and become as commonplace on our roads as black cabs and red buses”.However，there have been a few problems since the scheme was laun
44、ched last Friday. On the first day some people found they couldnt dock their bike properly and their usage of the bike had not been registered. Transport for London did admit they had been expecting a few “teething problems” and have said they wouldnt charge for the first day as a “gesture of goodwi
45、ll”. Some other people have criticized the lack of docking stations and locks for the bikes as well as the price it costs to hire the bicycles.Despite the comments，the green-thinking London Mayor still seems very positive about things, saying, “My campaign for the capital to become the greatest big
46、cycling city in the world has taken a big pedal-powered push forwards.”65. London Mayor Boris Johnston launched the new bike scheme in order to _.A. reduce the air pollution of the city B. encourage the citizens to take exercisesC. deal with the citys traffic problemsD. increase employment opportuni

48、 bike B. not charging for the first day of the scheme C. not registering their usage of the bikesD. docking the bikes properly68. From the passage we can infer that _.A. the London Mayor is confident in the schemeB. the scheme will be cancelled because of the problemsC. all the citizens in London su
49、pport the schemeD. the cycling revolution is not successful(B)Sabina Caste Franco Rome October 6,20The U.N. World Food program says there are growing concerns over food insecurity in the developing world. Some of those concerns are discussed in a report to agree with the anniversary Sunday of World
50、Food Day.The theme for World Food Day 20 is “Food Prices From Crisis to Stability”. A ceremony to mark World Food Day will be held Monday at the headquarters of the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization in Rome. Rising food prices, weather emergencies and political instability are deepening the str
51、uggle of families trying to provide for their households in many developing nations. This years “State of Food Insecurity in the World” report, published last week, focuses on the impact of food price volatility, confirming that high, unpredictable prices are likely to continue. The report highlight
52、ed how poor consumers, small farmers and countries dependent on imports, especially in Africa, have been deeply affected by the food and economic crises.Gregory Barrow is with the World Food Program in Rome. “If you look at the places where World Food program works particularly in developing countri
53、es, you see populations of people who might be spending 60, 70, 80 percent of their salaries on purchasing food for their families”. Barrow added that if prices become changeful and generally start rising, even by a small amount, it means that many of these people are going to struggle to put nutrit
54、ious food on their tables.The report also showed that even short-term fluctuations (波动) in prices can have a long-term effect on development, and that cutting back on nutritious food in the first ,000 days of a childs life can affect mental and physical development and finally, future earning capaci

But most observers agree this target is unlikely to be reached.69.The U.N World Food program aims to _.A. hold a ceremony to mark World Food DayB. provide food for developing nationsC. show
56、 concerns over food insecurity in the developing worldD. introduce the U.N Food and Agriculture Organization in Rome70.The underlined word “volatility” in paragraph 2 means _.A. supply B. instability C. quality D. control71.According to the report, we can learn that _.A. people in Africa have been i
57、nfluenced by the food and economic crisesB. the short-term change in prices has nothing to do with developmentC. food price changes have little effect on householdsD. childrens development can be affected by the taking of nutritious food(C)In the past few decades, the popular belief in the area of o
58、rganizational behaviour and organizational psychology has been that happy workers are better workers. However, new research at the University of Alberta shows that sad workers are more productive.Psychologist Dr. Robert Sinclair and his former PhD student Carrie Lavis recently conducted a series of
59、four studies addressing the effects of experimentally induced (诱发的) happiness versus sadness on work productivity by asking the participants to build circuit boards (电路板). In the first study, sad people committed significantly fewer errors than did happy people (approximately half the number of erro
60、rs) but there was no difference in the number of boards completed. Thus, sad people were more productive.In similar studies Sinclair and Lavis found the same results along with evidence that happy people might not devote as much energy to the task in order to maintain their happy moods they consider
61、ed that task as something that might detract (减去) from their present feelings. Conversely, sad people appeared to be devoting energy to the task in order to divert themselves from their sad feelings. “It is important to know that the moods were unrelated to the task,” said Sinclair. “Unhappiness is
62、coming from something else.”These findings are not surprising, said Sinclair, since there has been a growing body of literature in the area of social psychology demonstrating that sad moods lead to more calm lengthy intent consideration and, often, more thoughtful or accurate judgments.In Sinclairs
63、following studies, when people believed that the task would make them feel good, they devoted more energy to the job. The bottom line, said Sinclair, is that it is important for organizations to take into account the emotions of their employees. It seems it could be beneficial to creating situations
64、 that lead people to believe that performing their jobs will cause them to feel good: this could cause increases in motivation and superior performance.72.

Cultivate supportive relationshipsC. Take care of yourself D. Challenge negative thinkingE. Know when to get additional
69、helpF. Adopt healthy habitsTips for dealing with depression76.Getting the support you need plays a big role in lifting the fog of depression and keeping it away. On your own, it can be difficult to maintain perspective and sustain the effort required to beat depression. But the very nature of depres
70、sion makes it difficult to reach out for help. However, isolation and loneliness make depression even worse, so maintaining your close relationships and social activities are important. 77.Depression puts a negative spin on everything, including the way you see yourself, the situations you encounter
71、, and your expectations for the future. But you cant break out of this pessimistic mind frame by “just thinking positive.” Happy thoughts or wishful thinking wont cut it. Rather, the trick is to replace negative thoughts with more balanced thoughts.78.In order to overcome depression, you have to tak
72、e care of yourself. This includes following a healthy lifestyle, learning to manage stress, setting limits on what youre able to do, adopting healthy habits, and scheduling fun activities into your day.79.When youre depressed, exercising may be the last thing you feel like doing. But exercise is a p
73、owerful tool for dealing with depression. In fact, studies show that regular exercise can be as effective as antidepressant medication at increasing energy levels and decreasing feelings of fatigue. Scientists havent figured out exactly why exercise is such a potent antidepressant, but evidence sugg
74、ests that physical activity triggers new cell growth in the brain, increases mood-enhancing neurotransmitters and endorphins, reduces stress, and relieves muscle tension all things that can have a positive effect on depression.80.If you find your depression getting worse and worse, seek professional
75、 help. Needing more help doesnt mean youre weak. Sometimes the negative thinking in depression can make you feel like youre a lost cause, but depression can be treated and you can feel better!Section DDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the
76、 fewest possible words.All over the world mentioning of English education suggests a picture of the “public schools”, and it suggests in particular the names of certain very famous institutions Eton, Oxford and Cambridge; but people do not always realize what place these institutions occupy in the w
77、hole educational system. Oxford and Cambridge are universities each having about 12,000 students out of a total of over 250,000 students at all British universities. Eton is a public school, and the best known of the public schools, which, in spite of their name, are not really public at all, but in
78、dependent and private secondary schools taking boys from the age of thirteen to eighteen years. The public schools in reality form a very small part of the whole system of secondary education; only about one out of forty English boys go to a public school, and one out of 1,500 goes to Eton. Apart fr
79、om the so-called public schools there is a complete system of state primary and secondary education, which resembles in its general form the state education in most other countries. All children must, by law, receive full-time education between the ages of five and sixteen. Any child may attend, wit
80、hout paying fees, a school provided by the public authorities, and the great majority attend such schools. They may continue, still without paying fees, until they are eighteen. In presenting an overall picture of English education it would be reasonable to concentrate on the state system alone and
81、refer briefly to the public schools. However, although the public schools are not important numerically, they have been Englands most peculiar and characteristic contribution to educational methods, and they have an immense influence on the whole of English educational practice and on the English so
82、cial structure. For a hundred years most men in leading positions in banking, insurance, high finance, some industries, the army, the church and conservative politics have been educated at public schools. (Note: Answer the question or complete the statements in no more than 12 words.)81. British pub

94、BDirections: In Section B, you will hear two short passages, and you will be asked three questions on each of the passages. The passages will be read twice, but the questions will be spoken only once. When you hear a question, read the four possible answers on your paper and decide which one would b
95、e the best answer to the question you have heard.Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage.Americans are now experiencing a change about attitudes towards the workweek and the weekend. Although some calendars still mark the beginning of a week as Sunday, more and more people are com
96、ing to regard Monday as the first day of the week, with Saturday and Sunday as the weekend. In fact, the word weekend didnt exist in English until about the middle of last century. In England at that time, Saturday afternoons had just been added to Sundays and holidays as a time for workers to have
97、off from their jobs. This became common in the United States in the 1920s, but as the workweek shortened during the Great Depressoin of the 1930s, the weekend expanded to two full days Saturday and Sunday. Some people thought this trend would continue due to increasing automation and the workweek mi
98、ght decrease to four days or even fewer. But so far this has not happened. In the future, this might be possible by adding Monday to the weekend.Questions:11. What does the speaker mainly talking about?12.According to the speaker, what is changing in the way people think about the week?13.What effec
99、t did some people think the increasing use of automation would have?Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage.An idea that started in Seattles public library has spread throughout America and beyond. The concept is simple: help to build a sense of community in a city by getting ever
100、yone to read the same book at the same time. In addition to encouraging reading as an aim to be enjoyed by all, the program allows strangers to communicate by discussing the book on the bus, as well as promoting reading as an experience to be shared in families and schools. The idea came from Seattl
101、e librarian Nancy Pearl who launched the “If All of Seattle Read the Same Book” project in 1998. Her original program used author visits, study guides and book discussion groups to bring people together with a book, but the idea has expanded to many other American cities, and even to Hong Kong. The
102、only problem came up in New York, where local readers could not decide on one book to represent the huge and different population. This may show that the idea works best in medium-sized cities or large towns, where a greater sense of unity can be achieved. Or it may show that New Yorkers rather miss
103、ed the point, putting all their energy and passion into the choice of the book rather than discussion about a book itself. Most importantly, as Nancy points out, the level of success is not measured by how many people read a book, but by how many people are enriched by the process, or have enjoyed s
104、peaking to someone with whom they would not otherwise have shared a word. Questions:14.What is the purpose of the project launched by Nancy?15.Why was it difficult for New Yorkers to carry out the project?16.According to Nancy, which measures the level of success of the project? Section CDirections:
