11．Why is it that once we become adults，we become so serious all the time（generally speaking）．We get so caught up in the hectic race of everyday life that we forget that we are here to experience joy，and life．We forget to smile and enjoy the beauty of the present moment．I notice that I fall into the many demands of my life story．Recently，I have gotten so busy that a week can pass without realizing．I don't get the chance to slow down once to reflect and to be present．I seem to fall into the pattern of constantly living in the future，running after the next goal or achieving the next task on my never-ending list of To-dos．Let's take this moment to slow down，just for a few minutes．
Small children and family pets can serve as our great teachers．Have you observed them before？Try it．It is so beautiful to watch the innocence of a small child，or a dog．They are so present in the moment，stress-free，open to their feelings and are a bundle （捆）of joy．I tell people that my dog Tommy is"made of love"because from observing him，he really is!His positive energy serves as a constant reminder to be positive in any situation and not to take things so seriously．Live life，and enjoy the moment．
I also believe that child-like innocence and creativity have a direct connection．I work with lots of artists and creative people，and I have found that child-like innocence is very common among all of them．The purity，the openness，and the awareness of the present moment are clearly shown through interacting with each of them．

60．The underlined word"hectic"in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to"A"．
A．busy B．complex C．short D．peaceful
61．The author's dog is mentioned in the second paragraph to show thatB．
A．we should raise more pets
B．we can learn from our pets
C．we should know more about our pets
D．we should take every moment to relax
62．Which of the following can make people creative according to the author？D
A．A special way of life．
B．Awareness of the future．
C．Deep love for life．
D．Purity of the present moment．
63．The author of the passage would agree thatB．
A．we should live in the future instead of at present
B．living in the future prevents us from enjoying life
C．child-like innocence can harm an adult
D．creative people can't fully enjoy their life．

分析 本文是議論文，討論了我們每天都很忙碌，以至于忘了享受生活，甚至忘了微笑．所以，過得簡單一些吧，偶爾停下來慢慢享受生活的樂趣．

解答 ABDB
60 A詞義猜測題．文章開頭Why is it that once we become adults，we become so serious all the time（generally speaking）．講到"當(dāng)我們成為成年人之后，我們整天擔(dān)心各種各樣的事情．我們每天都很忙，以至于忘記了慢下來體驗生活的快樂．"因此我們是處于快速的生活節(jié)奏中，所以畫線詞可用fast代替，故選A．
61 B 推理判斷題．根據(jù)文章第三段第一句"Small children and family pets can serve as great‘Zen（禪）'teachers．"可知，我們可以從小孩和寵物身上學(xué)到很多東西，故選B．
62 D 細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)文章最后一段I also believe that child-like innocence and creativity have a direct connection．可知，作者認(rèn)為"天真"是和創(chuàng)造力緊密相連的，而其中"純真"就是構(gòu)成天真無邪的因素之一，因此能夠讓人們具有創(chuàng)造性．故選D．
63 B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題．縱觀全文，作者的觀點是放松心情，不要擔(dān)心還沒有發(fā)生的事情．因此，作者贊同的觀點是：擔(dān)心將來發(fā)生的事將阻礙你享受當(dāng)下的生活，故選B．

點評 一、速讀全文，了解大意知主題．
　　閱讀能力一般指閱讀速度和理解能力兩個方面．閱讀速度是閱讀最基本的能力．考生必須在十分有限的時間內(nèi)運用略讀、掃讀、跳讀等技巧快速閱讀，搜尋關(guān)鍵詞、主題句，捕捉時空、順序、情節(jié)、人物、觀點，并且理清文章脈絡(luò)，把握語篇實質(zhì)．
二、看題干，帶著問題讀文章．
　　首先要掌握問題的類型，客觀信息題可以從文章中直接找到答案；而主觀判斷題考查的是對文章的感情基調(diào)等，這類題必須經(jīng)過對作者的態(tài)度、意圖以及對整篇文章進(jìn)行深一層的推理等．其次，了解試題題干以及各個選項所包含的信息，然后有針對性地對文章進(jìn)行掃讀，對有關(guān)信息進(jìn)行快速定位．此法加強(qiáng)了閱讀的針對性，提高了做題的準(zhǔn)確率．
　　三、邏輯推理，做好深層理解題．
　　在實際閱讀中，有時作者并未把意圖說出來，閱讀者要根據(jù)字面意思，通過語篇邏輯關(guān)系，研究細(xì)節(jié)的暗示，推敲作者的態(tài)度，理解文章的寓義．要求讀者對文字的表面信息進(jìn)行分析、挖掘和邏輯推理，不能就事論事，以偏概全．推理題在提問中常用的詞有：infer，imply，suggest，indicate等．
　　四、猜詞悟義，掃除閱讀攔路虎．
　　猜詞是應(yīng)用英語的重要能力．它不但需要準(zhǔn)確無誤地理解上下文，而且要有較大的泛讀量，掌握或認(rèn)識較多的課外詞匯．我們要學(xué)會"順藤摸瓜"，通過構(gòu)詞，語法，定義，同位，對比，因果，常識，上下文等線索確定詞義．

1．Edmund Halley was an English scientist who lived over 200 years ago．He studied the observations of comets （彗星） which other scientists had made．The orbit of one particular comet was a very difficult mathematical （數(shù)學(xué)） problem．He could not figure it out．Neither could other scientists who dealt with such problems．
However，Halley had a friend named Newton，who was a brilliant mathematician．Newton thought he had already worked out that problem，but he could not find the papers on which he had done it．He told Halley that the orbit of a comet had the shape of an ellipse （橢圓）．
Now Halley set to work．He figured out （解決；計算出） the orbits of some of the comets that had been observed by scientists．He made a surprising discovery．The comets that had appeared in the years 1531，1607，and 1682 all had the same orbit．Yet their appearances had been 75 to 76 years apart．
This seemed very strange to Halley．The different comets followed the same orbit．The more Halley thought about it，the more he thought that there had not been three different comets，as people thought．He decided that they had simply seen the sme comet three times．The comet had gone away and had come back again．
It was an astonishingidea！Halley felt certain enough to make a prediction （預(yù)言） of what comet would happen in the future．He decided that this comet would appear in the year 1758．There were 53years to go before Halley's prediction could be tested．In 1758 the comet appeared in the sky．Halley did not see it，for he has died some years before．Ever since then that comet has been called Halley's comet，in his honor．

28．Halley made his discoveryC．
A．by doing experiments
B．by means of his own careful observation
C．by using the work of other scientists
D．by chance
29．Halley made a surprising，but correct prediction in the yearA．
A．1705B．1704C．1706D．1707
30．This passage in general is aboutD．
A．Halley and other scientists
B．the orbit of a comet
C．Newton and Halley
D．Halley and his discovery
31．Which of the following is TRUE？C
A．Edmund Halley was an American scientist．
B．Halley made his discovery by doing experiments．
C．Newton was a famous mathematician．
D．The orbit of a comet had the shape of a circle．

3．In the past years the popularity of rock climbing has greatly increased，and so has the number of injuries．It has been estimated that rock climbing is now enjoyed by more than 9 million people in the US each year．Study findings revealed a 65 percent increase in the number of patients that were treated in US emergency departments for rock climbing-related injuries between 1991 and 2011．
The study，published in the online issue of the American Journal of Preventive Medicine，found that about 40，000 patients were treated in US emergency departments for rock climbing-related injuries between 1991and 2011．The most common types of rock climbing-related injuries were fractures （骨折） and sprains （扭傷）．The ankle was the most common body part to be injured （40 percent）．Climbers in the study ranged in age from 2 to 74，with an average age of 26．The study also found that women took up a quarter of the injuries．
Falls were the primary reason for injury with over three-quarters of the injuries occurring as the result of a fall．The severity of fall-related injuries had a lot to do with the height of the fall．Patients who were injured after falling from a height over 20 feet were 10 times more likely to be treated than patients who were injured falling from 20 feet or lower．
"We found that the climbers who fell from heights higher than 20 feet took up 70 percent of the patients treated for a rock climbing-related injury，"explained the study author Lara McKenzie，PhD，director at the Center for Injury Research and Policy at Nationwide Hospital．"This trend，combined with the fact that rock climbers have a higher hospitalization rate than other sports and recreational injuries，demonstrates the need to increase injury prevention efforts for climbers．"

63．Which body part is most likely to get injured for a climber？B
A．The arm．B．The ankle．C．The knee．D．The hand．

20．Good health is the most valuable thing a person can have，but one cannot take good health for granted．It is important to remember that the body needs proper care in order to be healthy．There are three things that a person can do to help stay in good shape：One should eat right foods，get enough sleep，and exercise regularly （定期地）．
Proper nutrition （營養(yǎng)） is important for good health．Your body cannot work well unless it receives the proper kind of"fuel"（燃料）．Don't eat too much food with lots of sugar and fat．Eat plenty of foods high in protein （蛋白質(zhì)），like meat，fish，eggs and nuts．Vegetables and fruits are very very important because theyprovide necessary vitamins （維他命） and minerals （礦物質(zhì)）．However，don't overeat．It is not helpful to be overweight．
Getting the proper amount （量） of sleep is also important．If you don't get enough sleep，you feel tired and easily get angry．You have no energy．Over a long period of time a little amount of sleep may even result in a change of personality （人的個性）．Be sure to allow yourself from seven to nine hours of sleep each night．If you do，your body will feel strong and refreshed，and your mind will be sharp．
Finally，get plenty of exercise．Exercise firms the body，strengthens the muscles，and prevents you from gaining weight．It also improves your heart and lungs．If you follow a regular exercise program，you will probably increase your lifespan （壽命）．Any kind of exercise is good．Most sports are excellent for keeping the body in good shapes：basketball，swimming，bicycling，running and so on are good examples．Sports are not only good for your body，but they are enjoyable and interesting，too．
If everybody，were to eat the right foods，get plenty of sleep and exercise regularly，the world would be a happier and healthier place．We would all live to be much older and wiser．

6．According to the passage，A．
A．we should always keep fit
B．if we were healthy，we could spend our days in doing things with less sleep
C．one can eat a lot to stay in good shape
D．one needn't take any exercise if he is healthy

A．how to eat
B．the importance of doing exercise
