I rode a bike to work and I got a lot of exercise at weekends. I used to play tennis a lot and go for long walks. In those days I didnt earn very much. I had a job in an office. It wasnt a very good job but I had a lot of time to do the things I enjoyed doing. Then, about eight years ago, I got a much better job. The pay was better, but the hours were a lot longer. I bought a car and drove to work every day. I began to take people out to lunch. And I began to put on weight, too. I stopped playing tennis and going for long walks at weekends because I just didnt have any time for things like that any more.Theres a lot of stress(压力) in my job. Perhaps thats why I started drinking more than I used to. For example, I used to have only half a glass of whisky when I got home, but then I started filling my glass to the top, and instead of having one glass, I would have several. I started smoking a lot, too. I never used to smoke at all.Two months ago I had a heart attack. At first I just couldnt believe it. Luckily it wasnt very serious. The doctor advised me to stop smoking and to eat less. He also advised me to work less and get more exercise. But I just havent any time! My job takes everything out of me! Sometimes I wonder if I should get another job. Perhaps I could do something as I used to. But if I do that, I wont earn as much. I have a family to support. I have to think of them, too. I just dont know what I should do. What do you think?16The writers health is being worse mainly because _.A. he is very fond of his jobB. he likes drinking and smokingC. he doesnt care about his healthD. his work makes him feel stressful17According to the passage, when the author got the better job, which of the following is NOT true?A. He got higher pay.B. His working hours werent long.C. He found it very stressful.D. He had little free time at weekends.18What can we learn about the author?A. The author is not sure what he should do now.B. The author has taken the doctors advice already.C. The author has got another new job.D. The author feels much better now.B Are some people born clever, and others born stupid? Or is intelligence developed by our environment and our experience? Strangely enough, the answer to these questions is yes. To some extent our intelligence is given to us at birth, and no amount of education can make a genius out of a child born with low intelligence. On the other hand, a child who lives in a boring environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich and varied surroundings. While the limits of a persons intelligence are fixed at birth, whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment. This view, now held by most experts, can be supported in a number of ways. It is easy to show that intelligence is to some extent something we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are likely to be in intelligence. Thus if we take two unrelated people at random(随机地) from population, it is likely that their degrees of intelligence will be pletely different. If, on the other hand, we take two identical twins, they will very likely be as intelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters, parents and children, usually have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth.Imagine now that we take two identical twins and put them in different environments. We might send one, for example, to a university and the other to a factory where the work is boring. We would soon find differences in intelligence developing, and this indicates that environment as well as birth plays a part. This conclusion is also suggestedby the fact that people who live in close contact with each other, but who are not related at all are likely to have similar degrees of intelligence.19Which best describes the writers point in Para.1?A. Intelligence is given at birth.B. Intelligence is developed by the environment.C. Intelligence is fixed at birth, but is developed by the environment.D. Some people are born clever and others born stupid.20It is suggested in this passage that _.A. close relations usually have similar intelligenceB. unrelated people are not likely to have similar intelligenceC. the closer the blood relationship between people, the more different they are likely to be in intelligenceD. people who live in close contact with each other are not likely to have similar degrees of intelligence21 The example of the twins going to a university and to a factory separately shows_.A. the importance of their intelligenceB. the effect of environment on intelligenceC. the importance of their positionsD. the part that birth plays22The best title for this article would be “_”.A. On IntelligenceB. What Intelligence MeansC. Born with IntelligenceD. Environment Decides IntelligenceCThere was a boy in India who was sent by his parents to a boarding school. Before being sent away this boy was the brightest student in his class. He was at the top in every petition. He was a champion.But the boy changed after leaving home and attending the boarding school. His grades started dropping. He hated being in a group. He was lonely all the time. And there were especially dark times when he felt like killing himself. All of this was because he felt worthless and that no one loved him.His parents started worrying about the boy. But even they did not know what was wrong with him. So his dad decided to travel to the boarding school and talk with him.They sat on the bank of the lake near the school. The father started asking him casual questions about his classes, teachers and sports. After some time his dad said, “Do you know son, why I am here today?”The boy answered back, “to check my grades?”“No, no” his dad replied, “I am here to tell you that you are the most important person for me. I want to see you happy. I dont care about grades. I care about you. I care about your happiness. YOU ARE MY LIFE.”These words caused the boys eyes to fill with tears. He hugged his dad. They didnt say anything to each other for a long time.Now the boy had everything he wanted. He knew there was someone on this earth who cared for him deeply. He meant the world to someone. And today this young man is in college at the top of his class and no one has ever seen him sad!Thanks a lot dad. YOU ARE MY LIFE.23. The father went to the boarding school to_.A. know if he was still the best student B. find out what was wrong with his sonC. ask some questions about his classmates D. talk with the boys teacher about his grades24. If we say the questions are casual, we mean they are_.A. unimportant B. strange C. special D. difficult25. Why were the boys eyes filled with tears when he heard what his father said?A. Because his father didnt care about his grades any more.B. Because he hadnt had a talk with his father for a long time.C. Because he had a chance to say his worries.D. Because he was deeply moved by his fathers words.26. The passage mainly tells us never to _.A. send a small boy to a boarding school B. care too much about a students gradesC. pay no attention to the power of caring D. miss the chance to say thanks to our fathersD Researchers at Stanford University have developed a new material that can move heat out of buildings and into space. The researchers say the material can cool buildings even on hot days. The cooling material is a very thin sheet with many layers that could be placed on a roof like solar panels(板). However, instead of turning sunlight into energy as solar panels do, the material turns heat into radiation. Shanhui Fan is an electrical engineering professor at Stanford University. He says that the panels have a layer of material that is like sand. The panels act like a mirror. They take heat out of buildings and reflect the light from the sun. And he says both the heat and sunlight are sent 100 kilometers into outer space. Its a structure(构造) that cools itself without electricity input, even under the sun. So, what it does is basically radiate heat to outer space and also reflect the sunlight so it doesnt get heated up by the sun. Mr. Fan says it is like having a window into space. The heat is sent directly into space without warming the air.” He says buildings in developing countries that do not have electricity or air conditioning could use the panels. In areas where electricity is out of reach for many people, there is a potential (潜在的) benefit for storing medicine or even food. In many of these situations, being able to reduce the temperature is important. And this would provide a way to do it.” The researchers say the main problem is creating actual cooling systems using the high-tech panels. They say it may be possible to develop a cooling spray(喷涂) that could be used on present solid structures. They believe the cooling spray technology could be developed in the next three to five years. They say as much as 15 percent of the energy used in the United States is spent providing power to air conditioning systems.27The first paragraph mainly tells us _.A. living on hot days is no longer a big problem nowB. a new material is created to cool the buildingsC. researchers are developing new solar panels on roofsD. the new material is a very thin sheet with many layers28How does the panel work?A. It takes in the heat and cools it down.B. It uses a mirror to reflect the sunlight.C. It sends heat away right into space.D. It has a window to let out the heat.29The new material is especially useful in areas that _.A. suffer high temperatureB. have poor air conditioningC. have plenty of foodD. are short of power30What can you infer from the passage?A. The appliance of the new panel is still under research.B. Some people got benefits from producing the panels.C. People may have problems in using the new material.D. The new panels may save 15 percent of the energy.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。After Steve Jobs died, his friend Larry Ellison said something like this. “There will never be another Steve Jobs.” 31 Larry wrote this list of Steves life lessons to remind us all.1.
