Laughter, along with an active senes of humor, may help protect people against the heart attack, according to a recent study from the University of Maryland Medical Center in Baltimore. “The old saying that ‘Laughter is the best medicine’ seems to be true when it comes to protecting your hea rt,” said Michael Miller at the University of Maryland Medical Center.In the study, researchers compared the humor responses(反应) of 300 people. Half of them had suffered a heart attack. The other 150 did not have heart disease. Researchers provided people from the first group with a series of multiple-choice(多选的) questions to find out how mucy or how little they laughed in certain situations. And the second group were given true or false questions to help researchers know more about anger.Miller said the most important study finding was that “people with heart disease responded less humorously to everyday life situations”. They generally laughed less, even in positive(乐观的) situations, and they showed more anger. “We know that exercising, no smoking and eating foods low in fat will help cut down on the risk of heart disease. Perhaps hearty laughter should be added to the list.” Miller said.It may be possible to put laughter into our daily activities, just as we do with other heart-healthy activities, such as walking up the stairs instead of taking the lift. According to Miller, every one of us is supposed to read something humorous or watch a funny video, and try to find ways to take ourselves less seriously.25.

In the study, what did researchers want to know about the first group of people?A. Why they suffered a heart attack.B. Whether they had heart disease or not.C.

The result of the study shows that ________.A. the first group of people generally laughed moreB. the second group of people showed more angerC. exercising can keep people away from getting sickD. laughing can help cut down on the risk of heart disease28. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. It is time to take ourselves less seriously.B. Laughter is as important as walking up the stairs.C. Every one of us should do something to keep fit.D. Laughter is the best medicine to keep heart healthy.Passage 3When I arrived at my class on the early morning, I suddenly felt upset and uncomfortable. Today was the day when our teacher would leave and move to another school.Mr Smith was very easy to talk with and to have fun with. He was cool, relaxed, and was always friendly when you would see him. I couldn’t even imagine how things were going to be without him.“Thank you everyone for my time here. I will forever keep these memories and friendships I’ve made in the past five years.” He took a deep breath and said, “As a moment for me leaving, please look under your seats.”Confused(疑惑不解的), I slowly checked under my seat to see a yellow block of wood that read “Love” on it. I quickly got it and began to study it. After seconds of watching the block, I realized that it was a Jenga block(积木块).Tears ran down my face and fell on the Jenga block. I heard my classmates sobbing(抽泣). That was to say, everyone in my class had a Jenga block with the word “Love”. We hadn’t found a way to express(表达) our sadness and also we couldn’t find a way to express our love to the respectable(令人尊敬的) man. “This is a reminder(提示物) to always love others.” Mr Smith said slowly.Maybe that day wasn’t the worst day, and it was just a moment of my life and I was too young to understand Mr Smith. What Mr Smith taught us is that whenever and wherever we are, we should love others. The Jenga block acts as a reminder, encouraging me to give a hand to those in need of help. As time goes on, “Love” others has been a habit.29. Mr Smith was going to ________.A. change his jobB. teach a new subjectC. give his last lessonD. work in another school30. Mr Smith was a teacher who could make his students feel ________.A. pleasedB. excitedC. boredD. nervous31. Where did the students find Jenga blocks?A. In their desks.B. Under their seats.C. On the blackboard.D. Inside their hearts.32. What do we know about the Jenga block?A. It is the symbol of love.B. It shows students’ respect to Mr Smith.C. It means good memories and friendships.D. It stands for Mr Smith’s wish to his students.33. What is the best title for the text?A. Love is a habitB. Hard to say goodbyC. A teacher’s giftD. An unforgettable lessonB.阅读短文，根据短文内容，从短文后所给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Passage 4Good grammar mattersWhy is good grammar important? Well, good grammar can save lives! Just consider the difference between “Let’s eat, Grandma!” and “Let’s eat Grandma!” With the first one, you are inviting your grandma over for a lovely meal. The second one sounds like you are excited about cannibalism(同类相食).Jokes aside, some people think good grammar is unnecessary. They think that as long as they are being understood, it should not matter whether there are a few grammatical mistakes or not.34. ________ I believe good grammar matters.Thinking about your grammar when you are writing makes you easier to be understood. You may think a grammatical mistake doesn’t matter. But think about it from the reader’s point of view(观点). Even a small mistake can make your reader stop and read the message again. 35. ________36. ________ Being able to speak and write correctly, over time, builds your confidence while using Engish. This will encourage you to increase your vocabulary. With good grammar and a wide vocabulary, you will find it easier to express your ideas and communicate with native speakers(讲母语的人).Good grammar can also make you appear more reliable(值得信赖的). Just think about your attitudes(态度) towards a newspaper that has many grammatical mistakes in its articles. You will doubt(怀疑) if the information in the newspaper is reliable, won’t you?The same is true on a personal level. If there are many careless mistakes, then it appears to readers that you don’t care about your work. This makes them less likely(可能的) to trust you.37. ________A. But I don’t think so.B. That will make your writing bad.C. So will you try to learn grammar well?D. He or she will have to spend more time understanding it.E. I hope you have now seen the importance of good grammar.F. Good English grammar will help improve your English skills.Ⅳ. 情景交际（本题共5小题，每小题2分，共10分）根据对话内容，从对话后所给的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。
