It was a hard time in my own life too. A neck injury had kept me flat in bed for nearly a year. “Just in time for Easter,” my husband, Dick, said. But how could I feel the joy when the snow was four feet deep and I had months of painful physical treatment ahead? I was doing the dishes one day, feeling hopeless when there was a tap against the glass. It was a branch of the troublesome cottonwood (棉白杨).Back in the fall of 1979, it was a new subdivision (分支）then, an eight-foot stick. The ‎ people who'd briefly occupied the house before us had placed the pipe from the pump next to it. The earth was so wet that the poor thing had fallen down, most of its bare root system pointing skyward, and blowing hopelessly back and forth in the cold wind. Dick decided to pull it out one day, but I protested. “Look at how hard it's trying!” I said, pointing to the way it strongly kept hold of the earth. “It deserves a chance.”‎ ‎ Dick borrowed some tools. We packed dry soil around the tree and put up some stakes (桩) into the ground, making it stand upright. That winter was still terrible. Surprisingly, in the spring my “rescue stick”put forth a few leaves,then with lots of branches. The year after that, we were able to remove the stakes. By the 1990s that little stick was a giant, towering over the house. Now the tapping at the window continued, louder as the wind picked up, almost as though to tell me to look up. At last, I did. I caught my breath. In the window against the icy blue sky, thousands and thousands of fresh red buds were waving in the wind. ‎ The tree was bursting with life and I had a wonderful Easter. 4. What is the meaning of the underlined word "brutal" in Paragraph 1 probably mean?‎ A. busy ‎ B. hard C. long D. warm ‎5. How did Dick rescue the new subdivision?‎ A. By supporting the stick firmly. B. By watering the stick regularly.‎ C. By distributing chemical fertilizer. D. By gathering sticks day and night.‎ ‎6. What is the author's purpose in writing the last paragraph?‎ A. To inform us of the current condition of her cottonwood.‎ B. To imply that she’d spent the hardest time and felt hopeful.‎ C. To tell us that the tree had survived from the awful winter.‎ D. To suggest what she was going to do for the coming festival.‎ ‎7. Which of the following can serve as the main idea of the passage?‎ A. A friend in need is a friend indeed. B. There is no garden without its ‎ weeds.‎ C. Success is the accumulation of sweat. D. Where there is life, there is hope.‎ C People aren’t walking any more—if they can figure out a way to avoid it.‎ I felt superior about this matter until the other day I took my car to mail a small parcel. The journey is a matter of 281 steps. But I used the car. And I wasn’t in any hurry, either, I had merely become one more victim of a national sickness: motorosis.‎ ‎       It is an illness to which I had thought myself immune（免疫的）, for I was bored in the tradition of going to places on my own two legs. At that time, we regarded 25 miles as good day’s walk and the ability to cover such a distance in ten hours as sign of strength and skill. It did not occur to us that walking was a hardship. And the effect was lasting. When I was 45 years old I raced—and beat—a teenage football player the 168 steps up the Stature of Liberty.‎ ‎       Such enterprises today are regarded by many middle-aged persons as bad for the heart. But a well-known British physician, Sir Adolphe Abrhams, pointed out recently that hearts and bodies need proper exercises. A person who avoids exercise is more likely to have illnesses than one who exercises regularly. And walking is an ideal form of exercise—the most familiar and natural of all.‎ ‎       It was Henry Thoreau who showed mankind the richness of going on foot. The man walking can learn the trees, flower, insects, birds and animals, the significance of seasons, the very feel of himself as a living creature in a living world, He cannot learn in a car.‎ ‎       The car is a convenient means of transport, but we have made it our way of life. Many people don’t dare to approach Nature any more; to them the world they were born to enjoy is all threat. To them security is a steel river thundering on a concrete road. And much of their thinking takes place while waiting for the traffic light to turn green.‎ ‎       I say that the green of forests is the mind’s best light. And none but the man on foot can evaluate what is basic and everlasting.‎ ‎8. What is the national sickness?‎ A. Walking too much. B. Travelling too much.‎ C. Driving cars too much. D. Climbing stairs too much.‎ ‎9. What was life like when the author was young?‎ A. People usually went around on foot.‎ B. People often walked 25 miles a day.‎ C. People used to climb the Statue of Liberty.‎ D. People considered a ten-hour walk as a hardship.‎ ‎10. The author mentions Henry Thoreau to prove that _____.‎ A. middle-aged people like getting back to nature B. walking in nature helps enrich one’s mind C. people need regular exercise to keep fit D. going on foot prevents heart disease ‎11. What's the author's intention of writing this passage?‎ A. To tell people to reflect more on life.‎ B. To recommend people to give up driving.‎ C. To advice people to do outdoor activities.‎ D. To encourage people to return to walking.‎ D Music Opera at Music Hall: 1243 Elm Street. The season runs June through August, with additional performances in March and September.

Did you ever notice that sometimes when you are stressed, your memory seems to improve? Remember that test you passed where the answers seemed to come out of nowhere?    17     It's because of stress hormones（荷尔蒙）that increase your alertness(机敏) when it's most needed.    ◆    18     Successful employees turn stress into motivation. Have you ever noticed that you get the least amount of work done when you have the fewest deadlines? Too little stress can affect how much you actually get done. When you take risks and choose to get over the difficulty, it improves your mental toughness and self-confidence.    ◆ Helping you resist the attack of illness.    19     Believe it or not, the right kind of stress can help your body's defenses against illness. When you get sick, stress causes you to make hormones that battle threats to your health. That burst of stress is helpful to your immune system when your body faces a threat.    ◆ Making your life more interesting. Think about some stressful situations that we consciously put ourselves into make life more interesting and enjoyable, like asking someone out on a first date, conquering a known fear, or learning something new. These may not immediately come to mind when you think of stress because of the positive outcomes.    20    ‎ A. Helping you get an advantage at work. ‎ B. Helping you get through difficult times.‎ C. This will happen whenever you are stressed. ‎ D. That's one way your brain responds to stress. ‎ E. You need a healthy immune system to help fight off diseases. ‎ F.‎ ‎ But they're the types that can help you achieve fulfillment and happiness. ‎ G.But handled properly,stress can have many benefits for the body and mind.‎ 第二部分：英语知识运用（共两节，满分60分）‎ 第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）‎ 阅读下面的短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C 和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ ‎ I still remember the day when I was driving to the supermarket I own.
