I called him several times, but each time his secretary told me that he was in a meeting and that he would call ‎ me later. So I waited and waited, but there was still no call. Three hours passing by, I became more and more impatient. I was certain that my agent didn’t care about my work, and he didn’t care about me. I was overcome with that thought. I started to shout at the phone, “Let me wait, will you? Who do you think you are?‎ ‎     At that time I didn't realize my wife was looking on. Without showing her surprise, she rushed in, seized the phone, tore off the wires, and shouted at the phone, ”Yeah Who do you think you are? Bad telephone! Bad telephone!” And she swept it into the wastebasket.‎ ‎    I stood watching her, speechless. What on earth...?‎ ‎     She stepped to the doorway and shouted at the rest of the house, “Now hear this! All objects in this room—if you do anything to upset my husband,out you go! ”‎ ‎     Then she turned to me, kissed me, and said calmly, ‘‘Honey,you just have to learn how to take control. “ With that, she left the room.‎ ‎     After watching a crazy woman rushing in and out, shouting at everything in sight, I noticed that something in my mood (情绪)had changed. I was laughing. How could I have trouble with that phone? Her antics helped me realize I had been driven crazy by small things. Twenty minutes later my agent did call. I was able to listen to him and talk to him calmly.‎ ‎16.Why did the author shout at the telephone?‎ ‎ A.He was mad at the telephone . B.He was angry with his agent. C.He was anxious about his wife.

D.His wife’s sweet kiss.‎ ‎（B）‎ ‎     The American humorist, Will Rogers, used to say, “All I know is what I read in the newspapers. “This was an exaggeration for humorous purposes, but it is true that newspapers are an important source of information. Many people begin their days by reading the paper. In this way they learn what is going on in the world. Sometimes, however, they don't have time to read the news carefully and must be satisfied with a quick look at the front page; at other times they may be in such a hurry that they have time only to glance at the headlines.‎ ‎     There are newspapers to satisfy every reader. In the big cities there are many types of papers, with several different editions every day. In small towns there are fewer newspapers and perhaps only one edition each day. In some areas the paper is printed weekly.‎ ‎     Most newspapers have several sections, especially on Sundays when the edition is larger than usual. There are, in addition to the front page with the most important news, the sports section, the-society page, 4be^CQmiG&, the amusement section f a-business^page^ and the editorials.‎ ‎     Another type of publication which helps keep the population informed is the magazine. Some magazines are published weekly, others are put out monthly. There are news magazines, literary magazines, and magazines for such special interests as photography, sports, art, and music. Some are primarily for men, others for women, and there is a selection of children’s magazines,too. In the United States,there are publications for every taste and interest.‎ ‎19.The function of a newspaper is         .‎ A.to help people to begin their days by reading it B.to satisfy every reader C.to get people well informed of all kinds of news ‎ D.to provide its readers with many sections ‎20.The purpose of headlines is.‎ A.to show the main idea of an article or a passage B.to tell its readers how to entitle an article or a ‎ passage C.a piece of news for people to glance at D.to be printed in large letters above a story in a newspaper ‎21.The best title for this passage is.‎ A.Newspaper Should Be Read Every Day B.Different Newspapers Should Be Provided to Satisfy Their Readers C.Many Types of Newspapers Must Be Published in Big Cities D.Newspapers and Magazines ‎22.When Will Rogers said that all he knew was what he read in the newspapers, his real purpose was.‎ A.to tell you that the real source of his knowledge was from the newspaper B.to show that newspapers helped to get him well informed C.to show that he was very learned through reading newspapers D.to tell you that he was interested in reading newspapers ‎ (C)‎ ‎    Do you love holidays but hate the increase weight that follow? You are not alone.      Holidays are happy days with pleasure and delicious foods. Many people, however, are worried about the weight that comes along with these delicious foods.      With proper planning, though, it is possible to control your weight. The idea is to enjoy the holidays but not to eat too much. You don't have to turn away from the foods that you enjoy. The following suggestions may be of some help to you.      Don't miss meals. Before you leave home for a feast (宴会), have a small, low-fat snack. This may help to keep you from getting too excited before delicious foods.      Begin with clear soup and fruit or vegetables. A large glass of water before you eat may help you feel full. Use a small plate; a large plate will encourage you to have more than enough.      Better not have high-fat foods. Dishes that look oily or creamy have much fat in them.      Choose lean meat. Fill your plate with salad and green veg etables.      If you have a sweet tooth, try mints (薄荷) and fruits. They don't have fat content as cream and chocolate.       Don't let exercise take a break during the holidays. A 20 minute walk after a meal can help burn off excess calories. 23.Holidays are happy days with pleasure but they may ______.

( 28 ) And men generally need about 2,550. One way to work out your daily calorie needs is to multiply your weight in pounds by 13 to 15, depending on your ‎ activity level. But roughly, 300 to 400 calories for breakfast, 500 to 600 for lunch, 600 to 700 for dinner.( 29)‎ ‎      Your waist size.‎ ‎     Waist size is one of the best ways to measure whether your weight is affecting your heart health. When body fat is packed into your abdomen (腹部),your risk of heart attack increases.( 30) For men, risk increases with a measurement when your waist is over 40 inches.‎ ‎      Your blood pressure.‎ ‎(31)When it remains high, you have high blood pressure and this carries a higher risk of heart disease and stroke.‎ ‎     A reading of 140/90 mm Hg or more is considered high, and if it's between 120/80 and 139/89, you may still be at risk and should be taking steps to prevent the development of high blood pressure.‎ ‎     Your morning pulse rate.‎ ‎     Your pulse is the number of times your heart beats in one minute.( 32)People who are fit tend to have lower resting pulse rates because their muscles are in good shape. But if you don't exercise regularly and your heart rate is lower than the normal range, tell your doctor—it could be a sign of heart disease.‎ A.Blood pressure rises and falls normally during the day.‎ B.Trying to lose weight? Eat roughly 500 calories less.‎ C.Doing exercise is a good way to keep healthy.‎ D.Most women need 2,000 calories a day for good health.‎ E.Measure your blood pressure several times a day.‎ F.For women, health risk begins to rise when your waist is more than 35 inches.‎ G.A normal resting pulse rate is 60 to 90 beats per minute.‎ 四、 完形填空（每小题2分，共36分）‎ 阅读下面短文,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。‎ ‎     One of the easiest things in the world is to become a fault-finder. However,life can be     33     when you are not busy finding fault with it.‎ ‎     Several years ago I     34     a letter from seventeen-year-old Kerry, who described herself as a world-class fault-finder, almost always     35     by things. People were always doing things that annoyed her,and     36     was ever good enough. She was highly self-critical and also found fault with her friends. She became a really     37     person.‎ ‎     Unfortunately, it took a horrible accident to change her     38    . Her best friend was seriously hurt in a car crash. What made it almost     39     to deal with was that the day before the     40    , Kerry had visited her friend and had spent the whole time criticizing her     41     of boy friends, the way she was living, the way she related to her mother,and various other things she felt she needed to     42    . It wasn't until her friend was badly hurt that Kerry became     43     her habit of finding fault. Very quickly, she learned to appreciate life rather than to     44     everything so harshly(刻薄). She was able to transfer her new wisdom to other parts of her     45     as well.‎ ‎     Perhaps most of us aren’t as extreme at fault-finding,     46     when we’re honest,we can be sharply     47     of the world. I’m not suggesting you     48     problems, or that you pretend things are     49     than they are,but simply that you learn to allow things to be as they are—    50     most of the time,and especially when it’s not a really big deal.‎ ‎     Train yourself to “bite your tongue”,and with a little practice, you’ll get really good at letting things go. And when you do, you’ll get back your enthusiasm and love for life.‎ ‎33.A.lonely    B.great    C.quiet    D.uneasy 34.A.received    B.answered    C.expected    D.rejected 35.A.threatened    B.interrupted    C.bothered    D.spoiled 36.A.anything    B.everything    C.something    D.nothing 37.A.caring    B.boring    C.interesting    D.surprising 38.A.attitude    B.plan    C.measure    D.explanation 39.A.urgent    B.unnecessary    C.certain    D.impossible 40.A.occasion    B.event    C.accident    D.adventure 41.A.memory    B.notice    C.evidence    D.choice 42.A.hear    B.contribute    C.express    D.admit 43.A.aware of    B.afraid of    C.curious about    D.confused about 44.A.discuss    B.realize    C.judge    D.settle 45.A.family    B.life    C.career    D.education 46.A.so    B.or    C.but    D.for 47.A.proud    B.sure    C.hopeful    D.critical 48.A.face    B.create    C.solve    D.ignore 49.A.rarer    B.better    C.stranger    D.worse 50.A.at least    B.at last    C.by far    D.so far 五、 语法填空（每小题1.5分，共15）‎ 阅读下面材料,在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。‎ ‎    Christopher Reeve was born in September, 1952.He was in his first school play ①he was eight and he started to act in TV shows and films while he was still in college.He made many ②(success) films and TV shows but he is most famous ③his Superman films.‎ ‎    ④(lucky), disaster came in 1995 when he fell from his horse and ⑤(break) his back.The doctors did not expect him to live.⑥, he made amazing progress.At first, he couldn’t breathe without a machine, but he learnt to breathe on ⑦own.He would never walk again but he started ⑧new life with great courage.‎ ‎    The second year after his accident, Christopher returned to film making.He also raised a lot of money ⑨(promote) medical research into back injuries.He made speeches all over the USA about his experiences.This not only drew public attention to research into back injuries but also encouraged a lot of people ⑩(live) with all kinds of problems.‎ 六、 短文改错（每小题1分，共10分）‎ 假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文,请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。文中共有10处语言错误,每句中最多有两处。每处错误仅涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。‎ 增加:在缺词处加一个漏字符号(∧),并在其下面写出该加的词。‎ 删除:把多余的词用斜线()划掉。‎ 修改:在错的词下画一横线,并在该词下面写出修改后的词。‎ 注意:‎ ‎1.每处错误及其修改均仅限一词;‎ ‎2.只允许修改10处,多者(从第11处起)不计分。‎ When I was a child, I hoped to live in the city.
