But when the bell for the next class rings, you can't 1 how quickly time has passed. If you are familiar with this 2 , you’ll know how time flies when you are having fun and 3 when you are bored. Now scientists have 4 a reason why this is the case. Researches have shown that patterns of activity in the brain 5 according to how we focus on a task. When we are bored, we concentrate more on how time is passing. And this makes our brains think the clock is going more 6 . In an experiment 7 by a French laboratory, 12 volunteers watched images 8 researchers monitored(监控)their brain activity. The volunteers were told to 9 concentrate on how long each image appeared for, then focus on the color of the image, and thirdly, study both duration and color. The results showed that the brain was more active when the volunteers paid attention to more subjects. It is thought that if the brain is busy focusing on many aspects of a task, it has to 10 its resources, and pays less attention to the clock. 11 , time passes without us really 12 it, and seems to go quickly. If the brain is not so active, it concentrates its 13 energies on monitoring the passing of time. 14 , time seems to drag.

Milk is a good example. Raw milk --- that is, milk just as it comes from the cow --- may be 17 (safe) to drink. But 18 the milk is heated and then cooled, the harmful germs are killed. The man 19 discovered this way of treating milk was a Frenchman by the name of Louis Pasteur. In the supermarket you would also find many frozen foods --- frozen fruits, vegetables, meat and fish. As techniques for 20 (freeze) food are being improved, more frozen foods are appearing on the market, and more people are buying them. Fruits and vegetable to be sold in the supermarket are often frozen the moment 21 are picked. The 22 fruits and vegetable are frozen, the better. 23 machines are often taken into the fields where 24 food grows, so that little time is lost 25 picking and Freezin 三 阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2分，共40分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂 黑。 A Reducing the amount of sleep students get at night has a direct impact on their performance at school during the day. According to classroom teachers, elementary and middle school students who stay up late exhibit more learning and attention problems. This has been shown by Brown Medical School and Bradley Hospital research. In the study, teachers were not told the amount of sleep students received when completing weekly performance reports, yet they rated the students who had received eight hours or less as having the most trouble recalling all the material, learning new lessons and completing high-quality work. Teachers also reported that these students had more difficulty paying attention. The experiment is the first to ask teachers to report on the effects of sleep deficiency on children. Just staying up late can cause increased academic difficulty and attention problems for otherwise healthy, well-functioning kids, said Garharn Forlone, the study's leading author. So the results provide professionals and parents with a clear message: when a child is having learning and attention problems, the issue of sleep has to be taken into consideration. "If we don't ask about sleep, and try to improve sleep patterns in kids' struggling academically, then we aren't doing our job," Forlone said. For parents, he said, the message is simple: "getting kids to bed on time is as important as getting them to school on time". 26.What were teachers instructed to do in the experiment? A. To monitor students' sleep patterns. B. To help students concentrate in class. 2 C. To record students' weekly performance. D. To ask students to complete a sleep report. 27.The underlined word “deficiency” here means ______. A. shortage B. problem C. trouble D. weakness 28.What problem arises in class due to students lack of sleep? A. Poorer health. B. Being less attentive. C. Loss of motivation. D. improper behaviour. 29.According to this passage, parents should ______. A. make sure their children are always punctual for school B. ensure that their children grow up in a healthy environment C. help their children accomplish high-quality work D. see to it that their children have enough sleep 30.This passage is mainly about ______. A. the importance of the students' sleep B. the importance of the way to sleep C. the importance of the teachers' sleep D. the importance of being at school on time B The first and best of victories for a man is to conquer himself; to be conquered “ by himself is, of all things, the most shameful,” says Plato. Self-control is at the root of all the advantages. Let a man give in to his impulses (冲动) and feelings, and from that moment he gives up his moral freedom. A single angry word has lost many friends. When Socrates found in himself any temper or anger, he would check it by speaking low in order to control himself. If you are conscious of being angry, keep your mouth shut so that you can hold back rising anger. Many a person has dropped dead in great anger. Fits of anger bring fits of disease. “Whoever the gods would destroy they first make them mad.” “Keep cool,” says Webster, “anger is not argument.” “Be calm in arguing,” says George Herbert, “for fierceness (狂怒) makes error a fault.” To be angry with a weak man is to prove that you are not strong yourself. “Anger,” says Pythagoras, “begins with foolishness and ends with regret.” You must measure the strength of a man by the power of the feelings he conquers, not by the power of those which conquer him. Self-control is man’s last and greatest victory. If a man lacks self-control he seems to lack everything. Without it he can have no patience, no power to govern himself; he can have no self-confidence, for he will always be controlled by his strongest feeling. If he lacks self-control, the very backbone and nerve of character are lacking too. 31.What’s the main idea of the passage? A. Self- control is important for a man. B. We should learn to be strong. 3 C. A man who keeps cool won’t lose any game. D. The great heroes in history knew how to control themselves. 32.What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean? A. If you are mad, the gods will kill you. B. If you lose your temper first, gods will kill you first. C. If you can’t control yourself, you will be crazy. D. If the gods want to kill you, they will make you mad first. 33.Which of the following is NOT true, according to passage? A. The first and best of victories for a man is to conquer himself. B. You will make a small mistake serious if you don’t keep cool. C. You must measure a man’s strength by the power of the feelings which conquer him. D. Anger begins with foolishness and ends with regret. 34.Which of the following can’t help you avoid anger, according to the passage? A. Being calm in arguing. B. Checking your temper or anger by speaking low. C. Keeping your mouth shut. D. Trying to make the other angry first. 35.The passage is most likely to be found in ________? A. A scientific journal. B. A health magazine C. A news report. D. An encyclopedia C I am a professor of sports and exercise so I often deal with nervousness in my research with sports people. Actually, most people experience nervousness at some time or another. If you are feeling anxious, my advice is to first find the cause or causes. Make s list of those things that are making you nervous and work out which ones you can do something about. Focus all of your efforts on managing the causes that you can control. Most people cannot tell the difference between controllable(可控制的) and uncontrollable causes, so things they can’s control become a big reason for nervousness. Dealing with this is very important if people want to keep a healthy mind. Simply try to accept the uncontrollable causes of nervousness. You might be worried about the weather on a big day, an accident or an attack on the train, or perhaps just things that other people are doing at work. The results may be very important but there is still no use worrying because you can’t control any of these things. Accept that you can’t control everything. Once you understand this, it becomes easier not to worry. If a situation, such as swimming, is causing you to be anxious, try to face it as often as possible so that you can get used to it. It can often help to think about yourself doing the thing that makes you nervous— then close your eyes and imagine it going well. Imagine how the flight or job interview is going to happen so that you can get used to it. This will help you understand that the thing you fear most is probably not going to happen. 36. Who wrote this passage? A. A reporter. B. A sportsman. C. A patient. D. A professor. 37. The writer thinks there is no use worrying about some causes of nervousness because____. 4 A. most are not very important B. they are not the real causes of the problem C. they cannot be controlled by people D. it’s better to deal with one cause at a time 38. If swimming makes you nervous, what should you do according to the writer? A. Go swimming often to get used to it. B. Avoid going to the swimming pool. C. Find a swimming teacher. D. Imagine watching others swim. 39. What is true about nervousness according to the passage? A. It usually has only one cause. B. It is usually caused by people. C. People can easily manage it. D. Most people suffer from it. 40. What is the main purpose of this passage? A. To introduce the writer’s sports experience. B. To advise on how to deal with nervousness. C. To help people remember their fears. D. To explain the dangers of nervousness. D My first visit to Angkor Wat was in 1980. The country had been at war for many years and falling to pieces. Plants were growing out of the roofs, and the temple was deserted and trees were growing in the courtyards Today, the temple is the scene of a busy repair programme. A team of 15 Indian experts are organizing a workforce of 400 Cambodians, most of them women, who are cleaning, repairing and rebuilding parts of this temple. As I walked through the courtyards, I noticed the Cambodian women devote hours to cleaning carefully a tiny area of stone. Boards are laid down to protect the precious painted stones while the repair work is going on. There are very few machines and little heavy equipment. Workers carry building materials in buckets at the end of long poles. Piles of stones lie in a corner of the courtyard, waiting to be replaced. The work of cleaning the stones is watched over by three Indian chemists. It is a very slow task. First they clean the stones with brushes using buckets of a weak chemical. Then 5 gaps between the stones are filled in. Finally another material is painted onto the stones which will protect them from water forever. Work starts every day at 7 a. m. and goes on until late afternoon six days a week, with a break at midday. Evening is the best time to visit the temple, after the tour groups have left. As the sun sinks lower, shadows spread across the courtyard. After sunset, the sky turns pink. The grey stone towers take on a golden colour before turning pink. Nowhere else in the world can there be such a quiet, beautiful place. 41. This passage mainly tells__________ A. the poor look of the temple Angkor Wat in 1980. B. the history of the temple Angkor Wat C. the repair work being done to the temple Angkor Wat D. the difficulty in the repair work 42. According to the author, which of the following plays the LEAST important role in the repair work? A. The women workers. B. The Indian workers C. Machines D. Skilled workers 43. The underlined sentence “the temple was deserted” possibly means that________ A. there was no one in the temple and it was in a poor state B. the temple was built on desert and nobody noticed it C. the temple was very old with a long history D. the temple was repaired by the Cambodians, most of whom women 44. To clean the stone, how many steps should be followed? A. Tow B. Three C. Four D. Five 45. Which work needs a lot of time to do? A. To get rid of certain types of plants. B. To carry the building materials. C. To replace the stones. D. To clean the stones. 6 四 信息匹配(共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息首先，请阅读下列的应用文: The Blue Mercury Hotel has a variety of different hotel rooms for different kinds of people.
