　　(A)

　　In Shanxi Province you may be offered brains to eat. Frightened？You shouldn’t be, because these brains are only a kind of food, which is famous for its unusual name and rich nutrition（营养）.

　　Brains as a kind of food were invented more than 300 years ago by Fu Shan, an artist whose mother had been ill for a long time. To help her become well again, he studied medicine and invented a kind of soup made of meat, vegetables and a number of Chinese medicines. Rice wine was also used in the soup to help treat illnesses caused by old age. After taking the soup,

　　his mother got better little by little and lived a long life.

　　Fu’s soup became the talk of the town. Many people came to see him. One day a restaurant owner asked him what was in the soup. “I’ll tell you, ” Fu said. “But if your restaurant is going to sell the soup, you must call it brains because of its shape and color. And your restaurant should be renamed after my mother. ”

　　About a year ago, if you had asked who Dinara Safina was, the answer would have been: “She is Marat Safin’s younger sister. ”Back then she was overshadowed by her wonder brother. But now she has made a name for herself :the world No. 1 player in women’s tennis.

　　The 22-year-old Russian will overtake Serena Williams of the US for top ranking on April 20. “Before, every place I go, I am Marat’s sister. Nothing else, ”she told New York Times. “I always wanted to be myself, and now finally the results are coming, and people can know me as Dinara Safina. ”

　　Safina has made it to two great event finals, in the 2008 French and in this year’s Australian Open, and won a silver medal in the Beijing Olympic Games.

　　Clearly, family isn’t the only connection Safina and her brother share. Both of their DNA burns with competitive fire. Safin has held the distinction for years of being a hot-tempered player on court. When he lost his temper, he would break a racket(球拍). Safina is as emotionally explosive as her brother. A headline in the newspaper The Australian once described her as “mad as a snake”. The Sydney Morning Herald, during the Australian Open, summed up Safina’s volatile(不稳定的) emotional state with the headline: “Safina goes from basket case to top of the world. ”

　　It’s not rare for a family to have two top tennis players. Safina’s father owns a tennis academy and her mother worked as a coach. “I had no choice but to become a tennis player, but I don’t mind being a tennis player, ”Safina said.

　　From this talented family she is also given one of her best weapons on court, her size. She is 1. 82 meters tall and weighs 70 kg. But it is hard work that led her to her recent success.

　　“I hope to prove to everyone over the coming months that I deserve the honor of being world No. 1, ”she said.

　　5. What is the passage mainly about?

　　A. How Safina came first in world women’s tennis.

　　B. How the parents taught Safina to play tennis.

　　C. How her brother helped Safina play tennis.

　　D. How Safina beat her brother in playing tennis.

　　6. Which of the following doesn’t contribute to Safina’s success?

　　A. Her hard work and strong competitiveness.

　　B. Her emotional explosion and volatile emotional state.

　　C. The fact that she is 1. 82 meters tall and weighs 70 kg.

　　D. The fact that her parents are two good tennis players.

　　7. Which of the following statements is TRUE?

　　A. Serena Williams will be topped by Safina on ranking list on April 20.

　　B. Dinara Safina was always very confident and eager to succeed.

　　C. Safina was eager to become a tennis player when she was a child.

　　D. Marat Safin won the two finals, in 2008 French and in Australian Open.

　　8. What can we infer from the headline “Safina goes from basket case to top of the world. ”?

　　A. Safina wanted to top the world in tennis when she was a baby in a basket.

　　B. After she won this year’s Australian Open, Dinara Safina cried.

　　C. Too nervous at first, but Safina finally gained confidence and won.

　　D. Safina learnt from the basket case and finally became top of the world.

　　(C)

　　China celebrated its military confidence at sea on Thursday,

　　when anniversary celebrations for the founding of its navy climaxed with a show of the warships and submarines(潜艇). The fleet parade(列队游行)off the eastern port city of Qingdao marks 60 years since the founding of the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) Navy.

　　Chinese President Hu Jintao announced the start of the naval parade of 25 naval vessels and 31 aircrafts

　　Thursday afternoon, including two of China’s nuclear-powered Long March submarines.

　　“China does need a stronger navy.

　　Even if we can’t surpass the United States,

　　a stronger navy can help to counter(对抗)that influence and protect China’s own interests, ” said Shi Yinhong,

　　a professor of international relations at Renmin University in Beijing.

　　The PLA Navy has come from nothing to “a modern maritime(海上的)force capable of effectively defending national sovereignty(主权)and security”,

　　the Liberation Army Daily said.

　　In a recent deployment(部署)into distant waters,

　　Chinese warships have sailed to off the Somali coast to guard against pirates attacking merchant vessels.

　　But China’s naval modernization has far from erased a technological gap with the United States and other major powers.

　　9. What is the main idea of the passage?

　　We’re not suggesting that you should reach a permanent state called “happiness ”and remain there. But there are many ways to keep away from anxiety, anger, frustration and sadness. Here are some ideas to get you started. Choose the ones that work for you.

　　Practice mindfulness. Focus on the present. Instead of worrying about what you should do tomorrow while you’re having dinner with your family, focus on the here and now—the food, your families, the conversation.

　　Sing along. Studies find music activates parts of the brain that produce happiness. In one study older adults who listened to their choice of music during eye surgery had significantly lower heart rates and blood pressure than those who had silent surgery.

　　Go to sleep. We have become a nation of sleep-deprived citizens. Taking a daily nap or getting into bed at 8 p. m. at night with a good book and turning the light out an hour later can do more for your mood than any number of bubble baths or massages.

　　Make a list. There’s nothing like writing down your tasks to help you organize your thoughts and calm your anxiety. Checking off each item provides a great sense of fulfillment.

　　Visit a quiet place. Libraries, museums, gardens, and places of worship(礼拜场所)provide islands of peace and calm in today’s world. Find a quiet place near your house and make it your secret getaway.

　　Volunteer. Helping others enables you to put your own problems into perspective(客观判断力)and also provides social interaction. While happy people are more likely to help others, helping others increases your happiness. One study found that volunteer work enhanced all four aspects of well-being: happiness, life satisfaction, self-esteem and sense of control over life.

　　12. According to the passage, which of the following ways can keep you away from bad moods?

　　A. Staying with your family.

　　B. Having a lot of money.

　　C. Having enough sleep.

　　D. Travelling.

　　13. As stated in the text, ____________can reduce the risk of operation.

　　A. taking a nap when having surgery

　　B. finding a quiet place to perform surgery

　　C. listening to music when having surgery

　　D. keeping quiet when having surgery

　　14. Making a list of your tasks and checking them off can ________________yourself.

　　A. encourage

　　B. satisfy

　　C. improve

　　D. change

　　15. You’d better not go to ___________if you want to keep quiet and calm.

　　A. libraries

　　B. churches

　　C. supermarkets

　　D. gardens

　　第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）

　　__16__She described all the things she had to do­- one was to make her bed from the moment she woke up until she flew out of the door for work. I suggested she experiment by not making her bed for two weeks. She was shocked，probably thinking I'd been raised by wolves in a forest.__7__

　　Two weeks later she went into my office beaming. She had left her bed unmade for the first time in 42 years and nothing bad had happened. “And you know what？”she said. “I don't dry my dishes anymore，either.”

　　__8__One was discovering that she had choices in her life that she had never seen before. The other was giving herself permission to be less that perfect. This story shows an important principle (原理) about managing time: No one can do it all. Each of us has to make choices and accept trade­offs. The problem is，many people choose in ways that put themselves and their health last. They take better care of their houses and cars than they do of themselves.__9__

　　So what is the solution？There's an easy way. Decide what you want in your life，and put that first. On a daily basis，that should include regular meals，enough sleep and time with your family. Exercise，leisure，friendships and hobbies should also be regular aspects of life.__20__The choice is yours：whatever makes you feel good about yourself and your life. Take a nap. Take a walk. Take time to play the piano. Stop bringing your briefcase home from the office. Stop keeping your house as clean as your mother kept hers. Fill more of your time with want­to­dos instead of have­to­dos.

　　A．This woman had made two major breakthroughs (突破)．

　　B．Above all, you needn't do anything for yourself regularly.

　　C．They put everyone else's needs ahead of their own.

　　D．However，she went along with my idea.

　　E．Most people do not take time to relax themselves.

　　F．The point is to do something for yourself every day.

　　G．A patient came to see me about the stress in her life.

　　Nearly five years before, and with the help by our father, my sister and I planted some cherry tomatoes(圣女果) in our back garden. Since then—for all these year—we had been allowing tomatoes to self­seed where they please. As result, the plants are growing somewhere. The fruits are small in size, but juicy and taste. There are so much that we often share them with our neighbours. Although we allow tomato plants to grow in the same place year after year, but we have never had any disease or insect attack problems. We are growing wonderfully tomatoes at no cost!
