Here are some findings and expert advice.‎ ‎ 1. How many times did you brush your teeth yesterday?‎ ‎ ·Finding：A full 24% of seniors brush their teeth only once a day.‎ ‎ ·Step：Remove the 300 types of bacteria in your mouth each morning with a battery-operated toothbrush. Brush gently for 2 minutes, at least twice a day.‎ ‎ 2. How many times did you wash your hands or bathe yesterday?‎ ‎ ·Finding：Seniors, on average, bathe fewer than 3 days a week. And nearly 30%wash their hands only four times a day, half of the number doctors recommend.‎ ‎ ·Step：We touch our faces around 3,000 times a day-often inviting germs（病菌）to enter our mouth, nose, and eyes. Use toilet paper to avoid touching the door handle. And, most important, wash your hands often with hot running water and soap for 20 seconds.‎ ‎ 3. How often do you think about fighting germs?‎ ‎ ·Finding：Seniors are not fighting germs as well as they should.‎ ‎ ·Step：Be aware of germs. Do you know it is not your toilet but your kitchen sponge（海绵）that can carry more germs than anything else? To kill these germs, keep your sponge in the microwave for 10 seconds.‎ ‎21. Doctors suggest that people should wash their hands .‎ A. twice a day B. three times a day ‎ C. four times a day D. eight times a day ‎ ‎22. Which of the following is true according to the text?‎ A. A third American seniors brush their teeth only once a day.‎ B. There are less than 300 types of bacteria in the mouth.‎ C. We should wash our hands before touching a door handle.‎ D. A kitchen sponge can carry more germs than a toilet.‎ ‎23. The text probably comes from             .‎ A. a guide book B. a popular magazine ‎ C. a book review D. an official document B ‎ In London a painting show was on in Frida’s honor. Her workings were described as “a ribbon around a bomb”, which suggests Frida had a big influence on the art of her time. Unfortunately, she is actually a much bigger name today than she was during her time.‎ ‎ Born in 1907 in a village near Mexico City, Frida was attacked by polia(小儿麻痹症) at the age of seven. Her spine(脊柱) became bent as she grew older. Then, a sever school-bus crash broke her back in several places. Throughout her life, despite many operations on her, nothing can be able to cure the terrible pain in her back. However, the accident had an unexpected side effect. While lying in her bed recovering, Frida learned to paint by herself. ‎ ‎ In 1929, she got married to Diego, another famous Mexican artist. The husband’s strong influence on his wife’s style can be seen in her early works, but her later works from the 1940s, known today as her best works, show less influence from her husband.‎ ‎ Unfortunately, her works did not attract much attention in the 1930s and 1940s, even in Mexico. Her first one-woman show in her motherland was not held until 1953. For more than a decade after her passing away in 1954, Frida’s works still remained largely unnoticed by the world, but in the 1970s her works began to gain international fame at last.‎ ‎24. What does the underlined part mean?‎ ‎ A. a much stronger person B. a far finer artist ‎ C. a much more famous person D. a far more gifted artist ‎25. ____ led to Frida’s terrible pain.‎ ‎ A. polio B. her bent spine ‎ ‎ C. the back injuries D. the operations on her ‎26. Frida’s style had become increasingly independent since the _____.‎ ‎ A. 1970s B. 1950s C. 1940s D. 1930s ‎ ‎27. What is the author’s attitude towards Frida?‎ A. Sympathy B. Encouragement C. Devotion D. Worry C During Tom’s growing up, other kids felt sorry for him. His parents always had him do all kinds of housework. But when Tom reached adulthood, he was better off than his childhood playmates. He was more satisfied with his job, his marriage, and his health. For him, life seems easy.‎ ‎ A study that followed the lives of 450 teenage boys from New York revealed the finding, which showed that those who had worked as boys enjoyed happier and more productive lives than those who had not. “Boys who worked in the home or community gained competence (能力) and came to feel they were worthwhile members of society,” said George Smith, the psychologist (心理学家) who made the discovery. “And because they felt good about themselves, others felt good ‎ about them.”‎ ‎ Smith’s study followed these males in great detail. Interviews were repeated at ages 25, 31 and 47. Under Smith, the researchers compared the men’s mental-health scores with their boyhood-activity scores. Points were awarded for part-time jobs, housework, effort in school, and ability to deal with problems.‎ The finding revealed the link between childhood activities and adulthood job is sharp. Working---at any age----is important. Childhood activities help a child develop responsibility, independence, confidence and competence---the underpinnings (基础) of emotional health. They also help him understand that people must cooperate and work toward common goals. The most competent adults are those who know how to do this. Yet work isn’t everything. As Tolstoy once said, “One can live meaningfully in this world if one knows how to work and how to love, to work for the person one loves and to love one’s work.”‎ ‎28. Tom is a person who ______.‎ A. received little love from his family.‎ B. had few childhood friends.‎ C. enjoyed his life when he grew up.‎ D. was envied by others in his childhood.‎ ‎29. Smith’s words in Paragraph 2 serve as _____.‎ A. a description of personal values and social values B. an analysis of how work was related to competence C. an example for parents’ expectations of their children D. an explanation why some boys grew into happy men ‎30. Smith’s team got their findings by _____.‎ A. recording the boys’ effort in school B. evaluating the men’s mental health C. comparing different sets of scores D. measuring the men’s problem solving ability ‎31. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?‎ A. competent adults know more about love than work.‎ B. Emotional health is important to a wonderful adult life.‎ C. Love brings more joy to people than work does.‎ D. Independence is the key to one’s success.‎ D This is a very strange point. While fighting world hunger continues to be the matter of importance, as is reported and shown great concern by WHO, more people now die from being overweight, or say, from being extremely fat, than from being underweight. It’s the good life that’s more likely to kill us these days.‎ Worse, nearly 20 million children under the age of five around the world are estimated to be overweight. What’s going on?‎ We really don’t have many excuses for our weight problems. Because we’ve already known them well. The dangers of the problem have been drilled into us by ‎ public-health campaigns(运动) since 2001 and the message is getting through—up to a point.‎ In the 1970s, Finland, for example, had the highest rate of heart disease in the world and being overweight was its main cause. Not any more. A public-health campaign has greatly reduced the number of heart disease deaths by 80 per cent over the past three decades.‎ Maybe that explains why the percentage of people in Finland taking diet pills doubled between 2001 and 2005, and doctors even offer surgery of removing fat inside and change the shape of the body. That has become a sort of fashion. No wonder it ranks as the world’s most body-conscious country.‎ We know what we should be doing to lose weight—but actually doing it is another matter. By far the most popular excuse is not taking enough exercise. More than half of us admit we lack willpower.‎ Others blame good food. They say: it’s just too inviting and it makes them overeat. Still others lay the blame on the Americans, complaining that pounds have piled on thanks to eating too much American-style fast food.‎ Some also blame their parents—their genes. But unfortunately, the parents are wronged because they’re normal in shape, or rather slim.‎ It’s a similar story around the world, although people are relatively unlikely to have tried to lose weight. Parents are eager to see their kids shape up. Do as I say—not as I do.‎ ‎32. What is the “strange” point mentioned in the first sentence?‎ A. Starvation is taking more people’s lives in the world.‎ B. The good life is a greater danger than the bad life.‎ C. WHO report shows people’s unawareness of food safety.‎ D. Overweight issue remains unresolved despite WHO’s efforts.‎ ‎33. Why does the author think that people have no excuse for being overweight?‎ A. A lot of effective diet pills are available.‎ B. Body image has nothing to do with good food.‎ C. There are too many overweight people in the world.‎ D. They have had a good knowledge of its dangers.‎ ‎34. The example of Finland is used to illustrate ______.‎ A. the cause of heart disease B. the fashion of body shaping C. the effectiveness of a campaign D. the history of a body-conscious country ‎35. Which would be the best title for the passage?‎ A. Good food matters. B. Overweight or Underweight?‎ C. Actions or Excuses? D. No Longer Dying of Hunger 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ As kids, my little sister Mary and I were the M&Ms--- my parents’ two daughters. __36__ So it was quite a surprise when my mom and dad sat us down to let us know that baby number three was on the way when I was 10 years old. However, as soon as my brother Mac was born, he completely stole my heart and I have learned many things from having a young brother.‎ ‎ 37 ‎ ‎ Having a baby in your life means watching your parents endlessly change diapers(尿片), make bottles, and wipe spit-ups every once in a while. I was allowed to do those things and I learned just how important it was to take care of this little life before I even hit middle school.‎ ‎ You watch a child grow up ‎ 38 I remember how excited my family was when we discovered how fast of a reader he was in kindergarten. I’ll never forget telling him bedtime stories before he went to sleep at night. It’s cool to think about the entirety of his life and how far he has come.‎ ‎ You teach your brother life lessons.‎ ‎ From a young age, my brother watched my sister and me overcome personal challenges, go to high school, and, worst of all, get our hearts broken. 39 Watching his sisters go through life’s difficulties has taught him how he should act when he gets older. ‎ ‎ Now Mac is 12 years old. I have no shame in telling people that one of my best friends is a boy like him. In fact, our family can’t do without Mac. I just want to thank parents for bring us a brother like him. 40 ‎ A. You stay in the know ‎ B. You learn about duty early on C. We received a lot of attention, and we like it that way D. All I can say is that my family wouldn’t be happy without Mac E. Nothing makes Mac more upset than a mean guy who hurts a girl’s feelings F. I remember the first time Mac crawled, walked and said my name ‎ G. And thank mom and dad for turning The M&Ms into the Three Musketeers 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给四个选项（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。‎ Many years ago my life was as normal as any others’.
