and wishes to know something about it. there is 36 wrong with curiosity in itself. whether it is good or bad 37 on what people are curious about. curiosity 38 can be foolish or wrong. some people with nothing to do are 39 of curiosity about what their neighbors are doing. they have a strong wish to know what they are 40 home or taking outside, or why they have come home so 41 or late. to be interested in these things is silly because it is none of their 42 to know what their neighbors do or are doing. such curiosity is not only foolish but also 43 . for most probably, it may lead to a

things and try to find out all they 48 learn about them. columbus could 49 49 have found america if he had not been 50 . james walt would not have made the steam engine 51 his curiosity about the rising of the kettle lid. all the 52 in human history have been made as a 53 of curiosity, 54 the clever curiosity is never about unimportant things which have 55 or nothing to do with the happiness

morning till night, it is hard to slow down. but relaxation is completely necessary for a healthy mind and body.stress is an natural part of everyday lift and there is no way to avoid it. in fact , it is not the bad thing it is often supposed 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 performance and ill health.the amount of stress a person can withstand(忍受) depends very much on the individual. some people are not afraid of stress, and such characters are obviously prime material for managerial responsibilities. others lose heart at the first signs of unusual difficulties. when exposed to stress, in whatever form, we react both chemically and physically. in fact we make choice between fight or flight and in more primitive days the choice made the difference between life or death. the crises（危機(jī)）we meet today are unlikely to be so extreme, but however little the stress, it involves the same response. it is when such a reaction lasts long, through continued exposure to stress, that health becomes endangered. such serious conditions as high blood pressure and heart disease have established（確定的）links with stress. since we cannot remove stress from our lives (it would be unwise to do so even if we could), we need to find ways to deal with it.60. which of the following statements is true, according to the passage?a. we can find some ways to avoid stressb. stress is always harmful to peoples health. c. it is easy to change the habit of keeping oneself busy with work.d. different people can withstand different amounts of stress61. in the last sentence of the passage, “do so” refers to . a. “expose ourselves to stress” b. “find ways to deal with stress” c. “remove stress from our lives” d. “establish links between diseases and stress”62. according to the author, the right attitude toward stress is . a. to avoid it b. to try to deal with it c. to regard it as a vital motivation d. to find some relaxationcthe morning had been a disaster.my tooth was aching,and id been in an argument with a friend.her words still hurt：“the trouble with you is

adult reduces life expectancy by almost 22 minutes, a study suggests. and viewing tv for an average of six hours a day can cut short your life by five years.the research claims that a sedentary(久坐的) lifestyle is as bad for health as smoking and obesity, because of the dangers caused by inactivity and the greater opportunities it offers for unhealthy eating.the academics conducting the study set out to calculate the overall risk to life expectancy from watching television. their research involved more than 11,000 people over the age of 25.writing in the british journal of sports medicine, they concluded. tv viewing time may be associated with a loss of life, which is similar to other major chronic disease risk factors such as physical inactivity and obesity.the researchers, from the university of queensland, used information from the australian diabetes, obesity and lifestyle study, together with population and death rate data. but they said: although we used australian data, the effects in other industrialized and developing countries are likely to be similar, considering the large amounts of time spent watching tv and similarities in disease patterns. in the united kingdom, the average amount of time spent watching tv is four hours a day, compared with five hours in the united states. earlier this year, a separate study suggested the risk of developing type 2 diabetes and heart disease, or dying early, rises by as much as 20 percent after just two hours a day in front of the box.englands chief medical officer, sally davies, said: physical activity offers huge benefits and these studies back what we already know - that a sedentary lifestyle carries additional risks. we hope these studies will help more people realize that there are many ways to get exercise.67. we can learn from the passage that_a. whether you watch tv or not has nothing to do with how long you will liveb. if an adult watches tv for six hours every day, he will die five yew earlierc. physical inactivity and obesity wont shorten your lifed. a sedentary lifestyle offers huge benefits.68. the word it in the second paragraph refers toa. a sedentary lifestyle b. eating c. smoking d. obesity第卷（共35分）第一節(jié)：任務(wù)型閱讀（共10小題；每小題1分，滿分10分）請(qǐng)認(rèn)真閱讀下列短文，并根據(jù)所讀內(nèi)容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰當(dāng)?shù)膯卧~。注意：每個(gè)空格只填1個(gè)單詞。iceland has the highest birth rate in europe, the highest divorce rate, and the highest percentage of women working outside the home. such statistics are often evidence of an unhappy, troublesome society, with loads of children, broken homes and absent mothers. but iceland is the exceptionits citizens are apparently the happiest in the world. new rankings from the united nations rate iceland as the best country in the world in which to live.perhaps the countrys geographic location contributes to icelanders happiness. located in the middle of the north atlantic, with greenland as its nearest neighbor, iceland is free from the taboos that cause so much suffering elsewhere. for instance, people who divorce are not looked down upon by the society.icelanders ancestors are the vikings, a north european people who invaded european coasts from the beginning of the 8th through the 10th century. this tradition of getting out into the world lives on in modern-day iceland. practically all icelanders have studied or worked in other countries, and most speak english. perhaps as a result, icelands economic policies combine the best of those from europe and the us to create its own welfare system.indeed, the country is rich in writers, painters, film makers and accomplished musicians. theres sigur ros, a post-rock band that plays to the highest standards all over the world. half the population appears to have written a book.“iceland has terrible nature, with its bitter ever-changing weather,” said haraldur jonsson, a painter, video and performance artist. “we cannot escape it. so we find ways to live with it. we
