I strongly 36 you to make a promise to yourself for the next week. Decide to 37 every morning and think of at least 5 things that you are 38 for. Then say them out loud. You will notice a smile on your face without even 39 . In 30 days you will feel completely renewed. This is the 40 of being grateful!

第三部分阅读理解：（40分）第一节（每小题2分共15小题,满分30分）

（A）

The Great Barn Adventure

One morning when I was 11, I explored the town’s

abandoned round grain barn（谷仓）. I found a chained sliding door that was wide enough for me to pass through.

Inside, there was a heavy smell of dead mice in the dark. After my eyes adjusted, I noticed a shaft (升降机井) that rose all the way to the top of the barn. On one side was a one-man elevator with a long rope and roller.

I stepped onto the platform and gave the rope a drag and the elevator began sliding up the

shaft, but stopped halfway. After a brief panic attack, I noticed holes in the wall at regular

intervals, forming a ladder. For reasons known only to an 11-year-old, I decided it would be better to go up than down. So, with shaking hands, I began climbing the wall.

After what seemed like forever, I reached the top of the shaft.

I stood up, dusted myself off and found…absolutely nothing of interest. It was just an empty room with a ladder leading up to the roof. I climbed all the way up here for this? Then I noticed a fire extinguisher（灭火

器）,which I’d always wanted to shoot off. So this was the chance of a lifetime. I tried it, and, much to my surprise, the thing worked! It shot out a thick cloud of powder that instantly filled the room. I couldn’t breathe. I was going to choke to death, and they’d probably never even find my body.

Luckily, I remembered the ladder to the roof. I climbed up, popped the straw roof and saw a bright blue sky.

I suddenly realized the dust and powder pouring out of the top could draw attention. So

when the dust had settled, I climbed down and slipped out of the chained door. I’m not sure if I was more excited about being alive or about not being caught, but I ran all the way back

home.

41. When the author got inside the barn, he _______.

A. noticed a man on the elevator

B. opened the chained sliding door

C. saw many dead mice in the dark

D. found a shaft leading to the top

42. Which of the following is the right order of the author’s adventure?

a. The elevator stopped halfway.

b. He entered the round grain barn.

c. He climbed to the top of the shaft.

d. He found a fire extinguisher and shot it off.

A. b-a-d-c

B. a-c-b-d

C. c-a-d-b

D. b-a-c-d

43. After getting out of the chained door, the author might feel _______.

A. inspired

B. relieved

C. surprised

D. disappointed

44. From the passage, we can learn that the author was probably a boy full of _______.

A. passions

B. dreams

C. curiosity

D. imagination

（B）

Everywhere I look outside my home I see people busy on

their high-tech devices, while driving, walking, shopping, even sitting in toilets. When connected electronically, they are away from physical reality.

People have been influenced to become technology addicted. One survey reported that “addicted”was the word most commonly used by people to describe their relationship to iPad and similar devices. One study found that people had a harder time resisting the allure of social media than they did for sleep, cigarettes and alcohol.

The main goal of technology companies is to get people to spend more money and time on their products, not to actually improve our quality of life. They have successfully created a cultural disease. Consumers willingly give up their freedom, money and time to catch up on the latest information, to keep pace with their peers or to appear modern.

I see people trapped in a pathological（病态的）relationship with time-sucking technology, where they serve technology more than technology serves them. I call this technology servitude. I am referring to a loss of personal freedom and independence because of uncontrolled consumption of many kinds of devices that eat up time and money.

What is a healthy use of technology devices? That is the vital question. Who is really in charge of my life? That is what people need to ask themselves if we are to have any chance of breaking up false beliefs about their use of technology. When we can live happily without using so much technology for a day or a week, then we can regain control and personal freedom, become the master of technology and discover what there is to enjoy in life free of technology. Mae West is famous for proclaiming the wisdom that “too much of a good thing is wonderful.” But it’s

time to discover that it does not work for technology.

Richard Fernandez, an executive coach at Google acknowledged that “we can be swept away by our technologies.” To break the grand digital connection people must consider how life long ago could be fantastic with out today’s overused technology.

45. The underlined word “allure” in Paragraph 2 probably means ______.

A. advantage

B. attraction

C. adaption

D. attempt

46. From the passage, technology companies aim to ______.

A. attract people to buy their products

B. provide the latest information

C. improve people’s quality of life

D. deal with cultural diseases

47. It can be inferred from this passage that people ______.

A. consider too much technology wonderful

B. have realized the harm of high-tech devices

C. can regain freedom without high-tech devices

D. may enjoy life better without overused technology

48. What’s the author’s attitude towards the overusing of high-tech devices?

A. Neutral.

B. Sceptical.

C. Disapproving.

D. Sympathetic.

(C)

Each of us can live strong, healthy, energetic lives for a long

time to come. The key？Actually, there are many of them.

Eat fewer calories, but more food

Slimming down can help prevent disease, and cutting way back on the amount you eat may even slow the aging process. When nutrition researchers invited themselves over for dinner in kitchens across the globe-from Greece to Japan to the state of Pennsylvania--they discovered a stomach-satisfying secret to good health：Pile your plate high with vegetables and fruits, add respectable parts of beans and whole grains, and ignore high-calorie food like cheeseburgers, cream sauces, and fatty meats.

Use exercise as an anti-aging vaccine

Exercise can help you gain a better quality of life as you age. It's no secret that physical activity strengthens muscles, burn calories, and puts a happy bounce in your step. But recently, researchers

discovered a new, extra benefit：Exercise acts as a powerful way against the aging process itself. When exercise physiologists put health y people aged 60 to 85 on Weight-training programs for six months then tested them for signs of free-radical(自由基) damage, they were surprised by the results. By the end of the study, low-intensity exercisers had a drop in free-radical damage, while high-intensity exercisers had a slight increase.

Find something interesting to do

Life is always busy no matter what your age. But the truth is, when people are retired, time usually does become more available for adults after 60. With this time come choices. The easy one is merely to relax：watch more TV, eat out more often, talk on the phone as much as you want. The better choice? Discover something more meaningful to devote yourself to and do it wholeheartedly.

49. Which of the following is what you should eat more?

A. Fatty meats.

B. Whole grains.

C. Cream sauces.

D. Cheeseburgers.

50. The new discovery of exercise probably is that__________.

A. it can help you live a better life

B. it can strengthen muscles

C. it can burn calories

D. it can prevent aging process

51. When do you have more free time according to this text?

A. In your fifties.

B. Beyond sixty

C. Over seventy

D. Before sixty.

52. The best title of this text should be "_______".

A. How to Keep a Balanced Diet

B. The Importance of Your Health

C. Keys to living Longer and Better

D. Hobbies making Your Healthy

（D）

My last year in the senior high school has already started. I need to balance both my life and study in order to make it colorful and meaningful.

I strongly believe that doing sports every day may build up my body. Besides, communicating with teachers, parents, and friends can be of great help to reduce my pressure. As for my study, I have made a practical plan to follow strictly. I should overcome my shyness to consult the teachers if there’s something making me confused. What’s more, to improve physics is the most urgent because I have to make a solid foundation for my dream university—Cambridge, where I would like to major in physics.

I really hope that my dream will come true through my persistence and diligence.
