　　Ten Essential Health Tips (The Basics to Practice Every Day)
　　"He who has health has hope, and he who has hope has everything."
　　-Arabian Proverb　　1. Move More
　　Make it a daily challenge to find ways to move your body. Climb stairs if given a choice between that and escalators or elevators. Walk your dog; chase your kids; toss balls with friends; mow the lawn. Anything that moves your limbs is not only a fitness tool, it's a stress buster. Think "move" in small increments of time. It doesn't have to be an hour in the gym or a 45-minute aerobic dance class or tai chi or kickboxing. But that's great when you're up to it. Meanwhile, move more. Thought for the day: Cha, Cha, Cha...Then do it !
　　2. Cut Fat
　　Avoid the obvious fat-contained food such as fried foods, burgers and other fatty meats (i. e. pork, bacon, ham, ribs and sausage). Dairy products such as cheese, cottage cheese, milk and cream should be eaten in low fat versions. Nuts and sandwich meats, mayonnaise (蛋黄酱)， margarine (人造黄油), butter and sauces should be eaten in limited amounts. Most are available in lower fat versions such as substitute butter, fat free cheeses and mayonnaise. Thought for the day: Lean, mean, fat-burning machine...Then be one!
　　3. Quit Smoking
　　The jury is definitely in on this verdict. Ever since 1960 when the Surgeon General announced that smoking was harmful to your health, Americans have been reducing their use of tobacco products that kill. Just recently, we've seen a surge in smoking in adolescents and teens. Could it be the Hollywood influence? It seems the stars in every movie of late smoke cigarettes. Beware. Warn your children of the false romance or "tough guy" stance of Hollywood smokers. Thought for the day: Give up just one cigarette..., then the next one.
　　4. Reduce Stress
　　Easier said than done, stress busters (压力消除器) come in many forms. Some techniques recommended by experts are to think positive thoughts. Spend 30 minutes a day doing something you like. Soak in a hot tub; walk on the beach or in a park; read a good book; visit a friend; play with your dog; listen to soothing music; watch a funny movie. Get a massage, a facial or a haircut. Meditate. Count to ten before losing your temper or getting angry. Avoid difficult people when possible. Thought for the day: When seeing red, think pink clouds..., then float on them.
　　5. Protect Yourself from Pollution
　　If you can't live in a smog-free environment, at least avoid smoke-filled rooms, high traffic areas, breathing in highway fumes (烟气) and exercising near busy thoroughfares. Exercise outside when the smog-rating is low. Exercise indoors in air conditioning when air quality is good. Plant lots of shrubbery in your yard. It's a good deterrent for pollution and dirt from the street. Thought for the day: Smoke gets in your eyes..., and your mouth, and your nose and your lungs as do pollutants.
　　6. Wear Your Seat Belt
　　Statistics show that seat belts add-to longevity and help reduce potential injuries in car crashes. Thought for the day: Buckle down (认真做) and buckle up (扣紧).
　　7. Floss Your Teeth
　　Recent studies make a direct connection between longevity and teeth flossing (用洁牙线清洁牙缝). Nobody knows exactly why. Perhaps it's because people who floss tend to be more health conscious than people who don't? Thought for the day: Floss and be. your body's boss.
　　8. Avoid Excessive Drinking
　　While recent studies show a glass of wine or one drink a day(two for men) can help protect against heart disease, more than that can cause other health problems such as liver and kidney, disease and cancer. Thought for the day: A jug of wine should last a long time.
　　9. Keep a Positive Mental Outlook
　　There's a sure and undeniable connection between living well and healthfully and having a cheerful outlook on life. Thought for the day: You can't be unhappy when you're smiling or singing.
　　10. Control Your Own Destiny
　　The link between genetics and health is a powerful one. But just because one or both of your parents died young in ill health doesn't mean you cannot counteract the genetic pool handed down to you. Thought for the day: Follow these basic tips for healthy living and you can better control your own destiny.

　　How to Get Prepared for a Job
　　With more and more graduates from colleges and universities every year, job hunting has become more and more difficult. In order to gain an upper hand, it is necessary for us to prepare ourselves when we are still on campus.
　　There are several measures college students can take to sharpen their edges. First, it is important to learn the kind of writing skills that will help us get an interview. Writing effective resumes, letters of application, and interview follow-up letters can give us an edge in the job market. Second, we should have knowledge of the job itself. The job we are looking for should neither be beyond our reach nor should it be too easy. Instead, it should bring your abilities into full play.
　　If I do get an interview, take time to prepare well for it. It could be the most important meeting of my career. Try to anticipate what questions will be asked and have answers ready. Present your best appearance and conduct. As a matter of courtesy, and to strengthen your case, write a follow-up letter to thank the interviewer for the interview.

A man in a Beijing hospital who needs blood, a woman in Turkey who was injured in an earthquake, and a family in Indonesia that lost their home in Tsunami may all be aided by the Red Cross.
　　The idea of forming an organization to help people in need began with Jean Dunant. In 1859, he observed how people were suffering on a battlefield in Paris. He wanted to help the wounded soldiers despite which side they were fighting for. His efforts brought on the Geneva Convention, an international treaty. It protects prisoners of war, the sick and wounded, and other citizens during a war.

　　He was then going back home with the money, which he had put in his pocket. At the loneliest part of the road a middle-aged man in poor clothes stopped him and asked for a lift. Mr. Blake told him to get into the car and continued on his way. As he talked to the man he learned that he had been in prison for robbery and had escaped out of prison three days ago. Mr. Blake was very worried at the thought of the 10,000 dollars in his pocket.
　　Suddenly he saw a police-car and had a clever idea. He had just reached a small town where the speed limit was 40 miles an hour. He pressed down the accelerator and drove the car as fast as it would go. He looked back and saw the police-car had seen this and had begun to chase him. After a mile or so the police-car overtook him and ordered him to stop.

　　Section C
　　Today, students who want to learn English in the U.S. have a wide choice of courses and institutions to choose from. And, because the U.S. is such a big country, they also have a huge (36) variety of locations in which to study. The U.S. has a long (37) tradition of teaching English because, (38) throughout its history, the country has welcomed immigrants from all over the world, most of whom have needed to (39) learn English. Today, the English language teaching sector in the U.S. is well (40)developed and its teachers are highly(41)qualified and experienced.
　　American universities and colleges welcome many thousands of(42)overseas students each year, who(43) enroll on degree or postgraduate courses. Most of these institutions provide preparation courses for students(44) who need to improve their English before they start university study. These courses are called Intensive English Language Programs and(45) they are the most common type of course taken by overseas students.
　　In addition to language tuition, Intensive English Language Programs give students (46) the chance to get to know the school where they will be studying, and become more familiar with the American academic environment.　　Part ⅣReading Comprehension（Reading in Depth)
　　Section A
　　47. F 此处需填入一个动词原形，可选范围缩小到A、C、F、H、M和N，冒号后面的内容，显然是在对marginal land进行定义，故答案为F。
　　48. B 此处需要填入一个名词或动名词，可选范围缩小到A、B、C、I、J、K、M和N，根据前半句the last to be planted under good conditions marginal land肯定是首先要放弃的，故正确答案为B。
　　49. J 此处需要填入一个名词，形容词或相当于形容词功能的词来修饰soil，后面谈到的是自然和地理条件，因此这里应该填一个表示土壤质量的词。
　　50. E 此处需要填入一个形容词，名词或动词的现在或过去分词作表语，由于连接词是"or"，后面谈到的是不好的地理环境，那么这里肯定是雨水不足，正确答案为E。
　　51. A 此处需要填入一个名词或动名词作宾语，根据文章意思，草肯定是为食草动物提供了优质的饲料，因此正确答案为A。
　　52. K 此处需要填入一个形容词来修饰grasses,根据本句与foreign的对比逻辑关系可确定答案为K。
　　53. N 此处需要填入一个名词，根据下文cattle对marginal land的破坏可确定正确答案为N。
　　54. D 此处需要填入一个形容词，根据下文的描述可知，这里是指一个有效的方法，因此正确答案为D。
　　55. L 此处需要填入一个动词的过去分词，后面的内容是这项研究的成果，所以答案是L。
　　56. H 此处需要填入一个动词原形，根据a marginal resource into a highly productive one的鲜明对比可知这是一种转换，故正确答案为H。
　 Section B
　　Passage One
　　57. C 综合归纳题文章最后一段的第二句话是一个反问句，"cheap""disposable"正是塑料制品的特点。A）、B）、D）三个选项都与其无关，所以答案是C。
　　58. C 关于塑料的分类，第一段主要谈了两种，一种是按照制作方法分成三类，另一种是按照是否可变形分成两类。四个选项中，C）项概括了第二种分类，而D）项的概括是不完整的；A）项和B）项则是错误的。
　　59. D 细节题由第二段最后一句可知A）项是错误的；而第一句证明C）项是不准确的。此外，第一段最后一句说明B）项的概括是不全面的。只有D）项可以通过第二段第一句证明是正确的。
　　60. C 综合判断题A）项的依据在第二段开头："plastics have struggled through a hundred and twenty years of glory, failure, disrepute and suspicion..."说明塑料工业的发展经历了沉沉浮浮（ups and downs）。B）项可以在第二段第二句找到依据："they make modern life...more comfortable and convenient..."。D）项的依据在本文最后一句："...a great part of the fun of collecting plastics is that beautiful pieces of historical interest can still be found very cheap."而C）项，否认有塑料古董的存在，这与第三段第一句中"the fact that there are plastic antiques"相矛盾，因此是错误的。
　　61. A 语义判断题"sympathetic"这个单词一般情况下被理解成"表示同情的"，但是这篇文章主要讨论塑料的作用，与情感无关，所以首先排除B）项。"Plastics are warm materials, sympathetic to the human touch"，本句中前提是"塑料是暖性材料"，只有A）项才符合这个前提。
　　Passage One
　　62. B 文章主旨题A）项的对比只是第一段的主要论述方式，第一段主题为最后一句"In short,...",也可以看作是全文中心。第二段虽以history books开头，可后面的例证可以证明重点在"Art, on the other hand,..."。这些均阐明主题"What we can learn from art history"。
　　63. C 细节题答案在第一段中。本段通过对比通史和艺术史的不同，说明艺术史更能让人深刻理解历史，原因在于艺术史除了讲述通史讲述的政治、经济和战争之外，还涉及民族政治观、宗教信仰、情感心理，人们的日常活动等。
　　64. A 语义辨析题本题要求考生选出"Art,...， is subjective"的原因，答案就在后面一句"it reflects emotions and opinions"中。故选A）项。B）项孤立地概括三个例子，没有反映出例证在上下文中的作用，不正确；C）项是文中提到的事实，但与本题无关，也不正确；而D）项则完全与本文无关。
　　65. A 细节题B）项的错误在于没有认识到这三个例子都是为了证明艺术反应艺术家的个人观点；C）项的意思和原文完全相反，可参考第二段第一句话，而A）项正好是这句话的例子；D）项与文中说法有差异，表达得过于绝对，不是正确答案。
　　66. D 综合判断题本题解题关键在倒数第二句，欧洲与中东的不同在于穆斯林不像欧洲人那样将人物和动物雕刻在石头上，我们自然可以推断出中东建筑物上只有植物图案或几何图形了。　　Part ⅤCloze
