And I was very surprised to know that you decided to drop out of school and wanted to be a model（模特）.Being a model for a living is not easy. In fact, a famous person like me has a lot of problems that you couldnt see. I cant eat what I like, even though Im very hungry. Keeping thin makes me look more beautiful on the stage because no one would like to see a heavy model. Besides, I have to wear a heavy coat in the hot sun, in a swimming suit in the cold air. And practicing walking nicely every day is tiring for me. You might say I made much money from modeling. But my dear niece, you have to know that money is, nothing, knowledge is everything. School is important and everyone should go to school for a certain period of time. The longer they stay at school, the better they will be. Very often, I hope I can give up my job and continue my studies at school. But it is very difficult for me to go back to school again. I am too old to go back to school now. You are a pretty young girl with a bright future. You only have one year to finish your studies in high school. A year is really short. Please do consider my words carefully before you decide. Of course, there is only one thing I care about, and that is your happiness. Love, Emma21What was Emma surprised about?AAlice wanted to keep thin.BAlice decided not to do modeling.CAlice ate too much and became a heavy girl.DAlice decided not to finish her studies at school.22Emma cant go back to school again, because _Ashe is tired of being a studentBshe wants to make more money from modelingCshe is so old that she has missed the best time in schoolDshe has done a good job and makes a lot of money as a model23How long does Alice still have to study in high school?AOne year.

To my horror, I could only fit into a size 20.Being overweight most of my adult life, I always had very little self-confidence. Wearing a dress I didnt like to such an important event was enough to make me look for help. Thankfully, a friend of mine was attending Weight Watchers meetings, and I noticed her great progress. Her success inspired me to give it a try. I joined Weight Watchers,attended their meetings and started following their Weight-Loss System.I focused on the plan with determination and never missed a weekly meeting! I discovered that I enjoyed the benefits of having the help and support of others. I also read the weekly online e-newsletter and was inspired by the stories, recipes and information offered there, I also read magazines produced by Weight Watchers, which have great tips and new ideas in each issue.Its hard for me to even remember the person I was before my amazing change. I didnt walk anywhere and couldnt wash my car or walk my dog. Today I do these simple tasks without even thinking about them. But the change didnt happen overnight. I had to exercise with patience and perseverance(坚持). I decided to take it one day at a time and stick with it forever.The “new me” is more self-confident and healthier. I love how I feel now. I have more energyand feel like Im 25 again. So why not give Weight Watchers a try if you have the some overweight problems?28. The underlined word “inspired” in the second paragraph can be replaced by _.A. excited B. moved C. encouraged D. forced29. We can learn from the passage that the writer_.A. often went shopping before she lost weightB. was overweight when she was a childC. ever wanted to give up losingweight.D. now is more confident than before.30. This passage is written to_.A. tell us how to gain self-confidenceB. show off the great progress that the author has madeC. give us some tips on how to lose weight quicklyD. advise overweight people to give Weight Watchersatry31. Which of following word will you use to describe the writer?A. Weak B. Calm C. patient D. SilentDLife is not easy in senior high school. Youve got the pressure of studies and exams.From time to time, you may feel depressed and frustrated. When depression strikes, you have to take measures to fight it. One of the strangest ways to fight depression is to eat salt, scientists have found.Salt acts as a natural antidepressant (抗抑郁剂), researchers say. While too much can lead to high blood pressure and heart disease, not enough can cause “psychological(心理的) depressions”, a study has reported.The study, by researchers at the University of Iowa in the US, discovered that when rats are deficient in salt, they dont do activities they normally enjoy.The recommended daily salt intake for an adult is four grams, although experts say the body needs only half as much.However, most adults in the developed world consume（消耗）around ten grams a day, mainly because their diets contain high salt amounts. Today, 77 percent of US salt intake comes from processed and restaurant foods, like frozen dinners and fast food.The minerals in salt are required by the bodyin small quantitiesto help move liquid in and out of cells. But too much can cause diseases, for example high blood pressure.Today scientists are finding that salt is an addictive substancealmost like a drug.One sign of addiction is using a substance even when its known to be harmful. Many people are told to eat less salt due to health concerns, but they have trouble doing so because they like the taste and find low-salt foods tasteless.Humans have a long history of eating salt. In the Stone Age, people didnt need to find salt, because they hunted most of their food, and ate a lot of red meat, which has plenty of salt in it. But when people began to farm, about 10,000 BC, they started to eat mainly grains like rice and wheat, and very little meat. Then they had to find another way to get salt.32. What does the underlined word deficient in the third paragraph mean?A. enough B. far from enough C. more than enough D. plenty33. The major role of salt is to _.A. help the body work wellB. help fight against depressionC. help people get rid of an addiction to drugsD. help people enjoy sugary substances34. Which of the following statements is true?A. People have trouble reducing salt because they dont know it is harmful to eat too much of it.B. Before 10,000 BC, human beings did not need salt.C. The richer the country is, the more salt is eaten there.D. Taking more than 4 grams of salt a day can be harmful for an adults health.35. What kind of food should people eat more of?A. Frozen food B. Fast food C. Red meat D Low-salt food 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。How to test bestIts back to school, which means its back to tests, which might also means its back to being majorly stressed out. 36 Here are some simple ways to prepare thoroughly for tests. Schedule study time. Trying to do all studying the night before a test makes it impossible to master all the materials. 37 Instead, prepare for a test by scheduling study time each day for several days before. Use your time wisely. 38 Also, make sure you have all the supplies（用具）you need to study so you dont lose focus. While studying, be sure to make regular short breaks. Get a snack, take a bathroom break or play a quick computer game when it feels as if your brain is about to explode. 39 Studying with a parent or friends can help you understand the material better and to learn from one another. Have every person or pair take a part of the material, and come up with questions to quiz the group. Keep the group small. Have everyone take turns as the group leader, who will assign the material, and make sure that conversation stays on what is being studied.Dont forget last-minute preparation. Have your sharpened pencils and other things in your bag ready the night before the test? Its important to get a good nights sleep and then eating a healthy breakfast the next morning. 40 Also, studying all the way up until test time can only create more anxiety. Stop studying an hour beforehand.A. Form a study group.B. Stay cool before the test.C. It doesnt have to be this way.D. This will help you store important information.E. This way, both your mind and body are fully prepared. F. Before studying , clear your desk so you can concentrate. G. It will also make you tired and stressed on the day of the test.第三部分：语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节：完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（、和）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。Sports are full of wonderful moments, but perhaps 36is as exciting as the finish of the marathon.
