“An apple a day keeps the doctor away.”Similarly, if we drink a little more water every day, we may find that we need to go to the doctor a lot less often. A healthy diet is made up of water and a great many different kinds of foods. We know that healthy foods like fruits, vegetables and fish, are important as they provide us with energy and fiber, without giving us too much fat and sugar. But why is water important?
The human body needs water to survive. Water is important as it carries poisons and waste out of our bodies. So, doctors advise us to drink plenty of water, much more than the small amount we need to stay alive.
Some doctors believe that water is important for our health in all kinds of ways. They believe that a great many illnesses and health problems start as a result of dehydration(脱水）--- a lack of water in the body. Most people are dehydrated at least some of time, although they probably don't know it. It is surprising to learn that if we feel thirsty, we are already in the first stage of dehydration. In fact, we are advised to drink water before we feel thirsty.
These doctors think that health problems such as headaches, high blood pressure and asthma(哮喘）could be helped if people drink more water. They also believe that drinking more water can help people who are overweight. Water contains no calories so it will not make us put on weight. If we drink water, we will probably drink less sugary soft drinks such as Coca-cola. Doctors also believe that drinking more water may stop people from overeating. They say that many people think that they are hungry when they are, in fact, thirsty. Doctors suggest, therefore, that we eat less food and drink more water. There are still many health problems that cannot be solved by drinking water, so we should not stop seeing the doctor completely. However, if we make a decision to drink water every day, we may find that we need to go to the doctor a lot less often.
24. From the text, we know water can carry ________.
A. poisons and waste out of our bodies
B. fruits, vegetables and fish in our bodies
C. sugar and fat out of our bodies
D. energy and fiber in our bodies
25. Some doctors think that ________.
A. people eat too much sugar
B. water is not important for our health
C. we should go to the doctor less often
D. some health problems are caused by a lack of water
26. Lack of water causes people to put on weight too much because________.
A. they think they are thirsty and eat less
B. they think they are hungry and eat too much
C. water has no calories
D. it makes them thirsty
C
Teenagers who talk on the cell phone a lot, and hold their phones up to their right ears, score worse on one type of memory test. That’s the finding of a new study. That memory impairment might be one side effect of the radiation(放射线) that phones use to keep us connected while we’re on the go.
Nearly 700 Swiss teens took part in a test of figural memory. This type helps us remember abstract(抽象的) symbols and shapes, explains Milena Foerster. The teens took memory tests twice, one year apart. Each time, they had one minute to remember 13 pairs of abstract shapes. Then they were shown one item from each pair and asked to match it with one of the five choices. The study volunteers also took a test of verbal memory. That’s the ability to remember words. The two memory tests are part of an intelligence test. The researchers also surveyed the teens on how they use cell phones. And they got call records from phone companies. The researchers used those records to figure out how long the teens were using their phones. This allowed the researchers to work out how big radiation exposure each person could have got while talking.
A phone user's exposure to the radiation can differ widely. Some teens talk on their phones more than others. People also hold their phones differently. If the phone is close to the ear，more radiation may enter the body, Foerster notes. Even the type of network signal that a phone uses can matter. Much of Switzerland was using an older “second-generation”type of cell phone networks, the study reports. Many phone carriers(通讯公司) have moved away from such networks. And more companies plan to update their networks within the next few years.
The teens’ scores in the figural memory tests were roughly the same from one year to the next. But those who normally held their phones near the right ears, and who were also exposed to higher levels of radiation, scored a little bit worse after a year. No group of teens showed big changes on the verbal memory test. Why might one type of memory be linked to cell phone use, but not another? Foerster thinks it could have to do with where different memory centers sit in the brain. The site that deals with the ability to remember shapes is near the right ear.
27. The underlined word “impairment” in Paragraph 1 most probably mean“___________”.
A. association
B. damage
C. pattern
D. improvement
28. What can we infer from Paragraph 3?
A. How people hold their phones has no effect on their bodies.
B. Phone users can make more money with new networks.
C. The cell phone network type has little to do with the cell phone use.
D. Radiation levels are affected by the cell phone network types.
29. According to the study, teens who use their phones to their right ears a lot do worse in ____.
A. matching numbers
B. reading signals
C. remembering shape
D. learning words
30. What might be the best title for the text？
A. Cell phone use and safety warnings
B. Facts about cell phone use at school
C. Dangerous levels of cell phone use among teens
D. Teens’ cell phone use linked to memory problems
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．选项有两项为多余选项．Lao-tzu and Confucius were China's most famous philosophers. 31 "Those who know do not say; those who say do not know, "said Lao-tzu. Confucius said that the best people say the least, but do the most.
32 It comes from the story that he was born with white hair, already old and wise. Very little is known about Lao-tzu's life. His writings are titled the "Tao Te Ching".
According to Taoism, the entire universe flows with a mysterious force called the Tao, which means "The way". 33 When people forget this, opinions of good and evil or true and false happen. Taoists try to remember their oneness. However, this is easier said than done, Lao-tzu said
Over time, Taoism changed a bit. Taoism became more popular in AD 440 when it became China’s state religion. Many people practice Taoism today.
Born in 551 B, Confucius wandered throughout China as a government employee and
a political adviser to the ruling Chou family. 34 After Confucius died in 479 BC,
his students wrote down his teachings and called them "Lun Yu", or the Analects. Many
of his clever sayings are still followed today. "It is as hard to be poor without complaining
as to be rich without becoming arrogant(傲慢)." Confucianism says it is important to learn to be human. People should act with goodness towards each other to create order and unity. Confucianism guided thinking in China until about hundred years ago.
Taoism and Confucianism have differences and similarities. Confucianism tells people how to act towards each other. Taoism tells people how to find meaning in life. They both share ideas about man, society, and the universe. Both Taoism and Confucianism have served as guides. 35
A. Good thinking lasts a long time
B. Their sayings are still used today.
C. Lao-tzu may not even have existed
D. He was also a musician, thinker, and teacher.
E. The name Lao-tzu means "Old Master" or "Old Boy".
F. They have led China through the peaks and valleys of its long history
G. Taoists believe that everything might seem separate, but is actually one.

“Will you come with us, Susan?” cried several girls to a schoolmate. “We are going
to the woods; do come, too.”
“I should like to go with you very much,” replied Susan, with a sigh, “but I can’t finish the task grandmother set me to do.”
“How tiresome it must be to stay at home to work on a holiday!” said Rose, one of the girls, shaking her head. “Susan’s grandmother is too strict.”
Susan heard the remark(谈论), and, as she bent her head, she wiped away a tear, and thought of the pleasant afternoon the girls would spend gathering wild flowers in the woods.
Soon she said to herself, “What harm can there be in moving the mark grandmother put in the stocking? The woods must be very beautiful today, and how I should like to be
in them!”
“Grandmother,” said she, a few minutes afterwards, “I’m ready now.” “What, so soon, Susan?” Her grandmother took the work, and looked at it very closely.
“True, Susan,” said she, laying great stress on(强调) each word, “true, I count twenty turns from the mark; and, as you have never cheated me, you may go and amuse yourself as you like the rest of the day.”
Susan’s cheeks were red, and she did not say “Thank you.” As she left the cottage, she walked slowly away, not singing as usual.
“Why, here is Susan!” the girls cried, when she joined their company; “but what is the matter? Why have you left your dear, old grandmother?” they asked.
“There is nothing the matter.” As Susan repeated these words, she felt that she was trying to cheat herself. She had acted a lie. At the same time she remembered her grandmother’s words, “You have never cheated me.”
“Yes, I have cheated her,” said she to herself. “If she knew all, she would never trust me again.”

Dear Alex,
It's really tough to say "goodbye". Words fail to convey my endless appreciation to you in this letter, as you've done so much for me.
Undoubtedly, it was your support and encouragement that lit me up when I was confronted with difficulties in English learning; it was your devotion and effort that motivated me to work harder. Whenever you had free time, you would help me practice my oral English by correcting my pronunciation, intonation and grammar. Had it not been for your selfless assistance, I couldn't
have made such great progress in English.
Thanks again for generous help in my English learning. Wish you a safe journey home and a happy life in the future.
Yours,

Paragraph1:
When the little party had reached an open space in the woods, her companions ran about enjoying themselves, but Susan sat on the grass, wishing she were at home admitting her fault. After a while Rose cried out, “Let us make a crown of flowers, and put it on the head of the best girl here.” Soon the crown was finish ed. All the girls agreed Susan was the best girl both in school and at home, so they decided she was to wear it.
Paragraph2:
“Now, Susan,” said Rose, “Put on the crown of flowers, for you are to be our queen.” As these words were spoken, the crown was placed on her head. In a moment she took it off, and threw it on the ground, saying, “No crown for me; I do not deserve it.” The girls looked at her with surprise. “I have cheated my grandmother,” said she, while tears flowed down her cheeks. Quickly Susan left the other girls, went back home and apologized to her grandmother. “Susan,” said her grandmother, “I am so happy you have realized your fault, and you are still my own little girl!”
