(2016·济南高三模拟) At exactly eleven Sir Percival knocked and entered, with anxiety and worry in every line of his face. This meeting would decide his future life, and he obviously knew it.
“You may wonder, Sir Percival，” said Laura calmly, “if I am going to ask to be released
(免除)
from my promise to marry you. I am not going to ask this. I respect my father's wishes too much.”
His face relaxed a little, but one of his feet kept beating the carpet.
“No, if we are going to withdraw (退出) from our planned marriage, it will be because of your wish, not mine.”
“Mine？” he said in great surprise. “What reason could I have for withdrawing？”
“A reason that is very hard to tell you，” she answered. “There is a change in me.”
His face went so pale that even his lips lost their color. He turned his head to one side.
“What change？” he asked, trying to appear calm.
“When the promise was made two years ago，”
she said, “my love did not belong to anyone. Will you forgive me, Sir Percival, if I tell you that it now belongs to another person？”
“I wish you to understand，” Laura continued, “that I will never see this person again, and that if you leave me, you only allow me to remain a single woman for the rest of my life. All I ask is that you forgive me and keep my secret.”
“I will do both those things，” he said. Then he looked at Laura, as if he was waiting to hear more.
“I think I have said enough to give you reason to withdraw from our marriage，” she added quietly.
“No. You have said enough to make it the dearest wish of my life to marry you，” he said.

(2016·河北省模拟)Sunstroke is a condition that can quickly go from dangerous to deadly, especially if proper care isn't given immediately.
Sunstroke, sometimes called heatstroke, is a result of the body temperature rising above the safe limit. This causes the body's necessary functions to stop working.
It's usually pretty easy to avoid sunstroke, as long as proper
action is taken. In that case, you need to act as quickly as possible to return that person's body to a safe temperature. Here are a few tips to help treat sunstroke.
Call for help
Call to get an ambulance as quickly as possible. This should be the first thing you do, especially if the sunstroke person has fainted (昏倒). Also, call for help from anyone nearby if you're in a public place. If there's no one around, call someone nearby if they can get there sooner than an ambulance. Ask everyone to bring you as much water as possible, if there isn't much nearby.
Get the person to a cooler area
If there's a building nearby, aim for that. Anywhere with plenty of air conditioners and water is perfect. If a building isn't available, bring the person to a wellshaded area.
Get the water flowing
If the person is still conscious, get him or her to drink water. If there's a bathtub available, fill it with cool water and put the person in it.
If your water supply is limited, you have to save it. Dampen a towel or shirt and put it on the person's body. Focus on the face, neck, and chest.
Fan the person
Getting moving air over the person cools him or her down. Use anything, a towel or sheet, a shirt, your hands, or a piece of board. This is where having many people around really helps, as they can combine to fan the entire body.
4.When does a person get sunstroke?
A.When the body doesn't function.
B.When proper care is given immediately.
C.When someone is exposed to the sun too long.
D.When the body temperature goes up beyond what one can bear.
5.Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the text?
A.Call for assistance from others.
B.Leave the sunstroke person in the shade.
C.Put a wet towel on the person's face.
D.Help the person take some medicine.
6.What is mainly discussed in the passage?
A.The first aid for sunstroke.
B.The causes of sunstroke.
C.The chief symptoms of sunstroke.
D.The essential prevention of sunstroke.
7.The text probably comes from
a (n) ________.
A.guidebook B.book review
C.medical magazine
D.official document
C
Reading keeps your brain young.
Digging into a
good book can literally take years off your mind, according to a recent study from Rush University Medical Center. Adults who spend their free time doing creative activities (like reading) have a 32 percent slower rate of cognitive (认知的) decline later in life than those who do not. “Brainy pursuits make the brain more efficient by changing its structure to continue functioning properly，” said Robert S.Wilson, a professor at Rush University Medical Center. Another recent study found that older adults who regularly read are two and a half times less likely to develop mental diseases.
Reading boosts your vocabulary.
You can still use books to expand your mental dictionary. In fact, researchers estimate that we learn 5 to 15 percent of all the words we know through reading. This is particularly important for children, whose vocabulary size is directly and dramatically related to their read.
Reading improves your empathy (同感).
Stories provide lifechanging perspectives. Giving your attention to the lives of characters strengthens your ability to understand others' feelings. Seeing the world through the eyes of Jane Eyre, for example, may make it easier for you to understand females' viewpoint.
Reading can encourage your life goals.
Reading about someone who overcame obstacles may motivate you to achieve your own goals, Ohio State University researchers found. If you'd like a salary raise, thinking about how a character in the book did so may give you the courage to make the same request. The more you identify with a character and experience the events as if they were happening to you, the more likely you'll be to take action.
8.How does reading keep your brain young?
A.By creating activities of the brain.
B.By reducing the number of diseases.
C.By slowing the rate of your cognition.
D.By making the brain function constantly.
9.The writer mentions Jane Eyre to prove that reading can help ________.
A.fight against life's misfortunes
B.view the world differently
C.make you way to success
D.understand others easily
10.What's the author's attitude towards reading?
A.Skeptical.
B.Opposed.
C.Supportive.
D.Sincere.

I'm a student of Senior 1. I am writing to ask you for some advice.
Since last week my parents and teachers have kept asking me to board in the school. They say it will be very convenient for me to ask questions whenever and wherever. Besides they think boarding will make it possible to make full use of my night time and that I can also develop the ability to look after myself.
However, I have my own thoughts. If staying at home in the evening,
I will have more time to work at my lessons. At the same time, I can learn what I think I'm not good at. I really don't know how to deal with the disagreement between us. Can you give me your advice?
Yours,
Li Ming
