Section B
There are two types of people in the world. Although they have equal degrees of health and wealth and the other comforts of life, one becomes happy, the other becomes unhappy. This arises from the different ways in which they consider things, persons, and events, and the resulting effects upon their minds.
The people who are to be happy fix their attention on the conveniences of things, the pleasant parts of conversation, the well-prepared dishes, the goodness of the wines, and the fine weather. They enjoy all the cheerful and positive things. They are in good spirits all the time. People like to make friends with them and are happy when they are successful. It can make you popular among your classmates and strengthen the relationship with others.
Those who are to be unhappy always think and speak the negative things. So they are continually discontented. Those people tend to criticize and offend others, which makes themselves disagreeable everywhere. No one loves them and treats them as their friends. No one shows respect to them, either. They should change this bad habit, or they would not live a happier life.

Weeks passed and the 41 over the coming Christmas grew into restlessness until the last day of school before the holiday break.I smiled 42 as the last of them hurried out of the door.Turning around I saw David quietly standing by my desk.
“I have something for you.” he said and 43 from behind his back a small box. 44 it to me, he said anxiously, “Open it.” I took the box from him, thanked him and slowly unwrapped it.I lifted the lid and to my surprise saw nothing.I looked at David’s smiling face and back into the box and said, “The box is nice, David, but it’s 45 .”
“Oh no it isn’t” said David.“It’s full of love.My mum told me before she died that love was something you couldn’t see or touch unless you know it’s there.”

37. D【解析】在语境中辨析副词词义。inappropriately 意思是“不适当地”, 根据下文中的without a coat, boots, or gloves可知戴维穿得不合季节。题中所给的四个副词都是加前缀或后缀变来的。

Each of us is different and our body clocks are different too. Some of us can stay awake and work till late in the night, 48 feeling tired, while others may find it easy to wake up and start work 49 , instead of continuing late in the night. These tendencies(趋势) make some of us “night persons” and 50 “morning persons”. So if you are a morning person, the best time to exercise for you would be mornings, 51 you feel energetic. However, if you are a night person, who hates to wake up early, afternoons or evenings will suit you more for exercising.
If you want to know when is the best time to exercise to burn fat, then mornings are the ideal choice. 52 are mornings considered the best time to exercise for weight loss? There is 53 scientific explanation for that. When a person exercises in the afternoon or in the evening, he is simply burning the calories coming from 54 he has eaten last. But when he exercises on an empty stomach in the morning, he is burning calories which are stored in the body as fat. 55 the best time to exercise to lose weight is in the morning.

My father was a foreman of a sugar-cane plantation in Rio Piedras, Puerto Rico. My first job was to drive the oxen that ploughed the cane fields. I would walk behind an ox, guiding him with a broomstick. For $ 1 a day, I worked eight hours straight, with no food breaks.
It was very tedious work, but it prepared me for life and taught me many lasting lessons. Because the plantation owners were always watching us, I had to be on time every day and work as hard as I could. I’ve never been late for any job since. I also learned about being respectful and faithful to the people you work for. More important, I earned my pay; it never entered my mind to say I was sick just because I didn’t want to work.
I was only six years old, but I was doing a man’s job. Our family needed every dollar we could make because my father never earned more than $18 a week. Our home was a three-room wood shack with a dirty floor and no toilet. Nothing made me prouder than bringing home money to help my mother, father, two brothers and three sisters. This gave me self-esteem(自尊心), one of the most important things a person can have.
When I was seven, I got work at a golf course near our house. My job was to stand down the fairway and spot the balls as they landed, so the golfers could find them. Losing a ball meant you were fired, so I never missed one. Some nights I would lie in bed and dreamt of making thousands of dollars by playing golf and being able to buy a bicycle.
The more I dreamed, the more I thought. Why not? I made my first golf club out of guava limb(番石榴树枝) and a piece of pipe. Then I hammered an empty tin can into the shape of a ball. And finally I dug two small holes in the ground and hit the ball back and forth. I practiced with the same devotion and intensity. I learned working in the field — except now I was driving golf balls with club, not oxen with a broomstick.
61. The writer’s first job was _______.
A. to stand down the fairway at a golf course
B. to watch over the sugar-cane plantation
C. to drive the oxen that ploughed the cane fields
D. to spot the balls as they landed so the golfers could find them

A. difficult B. boring C. interesting D. unusual

A. he should work for those who he liked most
B. he should work longer than what he was expected
C. he should never fail to say hello to his owner
D. he should be respectful and faithful to the people he worked for
64. _______ gave the writer serf-esteem.
A. Having a family of eight people
B. Owning his own golf course
C. Bringing money back home to help the family
D. Helping his father with the work on the plantation
65. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?

Vegetarian vampires(吸血鬼)can breathe a sigh of relief. Scientists say they have discovered a way of squeezing “blood” out of rice.
Scientists successfully used rice seeds to produce the human serum albumin(人血清白蛋白)(HSA) in the lab, according to a study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences from the US on October 31.
HSA is a kind of protein made by the liver to help transport certain hormones(荷尔蒙, steroids(类固醇)and fatty acids in the blood. People with serious burns, liver diseases and other medical conditions need more HSA.
Donated human blood used to be the only source of extra HAS, but this is in short supply. In China, demand for HSA is so high that some illegal producers have been found to be selling fake HSA, which made it even more urgent to find another source of the protein.
The rice method was developed by scientists at Wuhan University in China together with researchers from Canada and New York. They used bacteria to put the gene for making HSA into the rice plants and grew them over a few generations. In the final product, the HSA took up more than 10 percent of the total soluble(可溶的)protein in the rice seeds and could be easily separated from the rice protein.
The research team did several tests to compare the rice and human versions of HSA. They found that the two types of protein not only looked exactly the same but also had similar effects when used to treat illness. Both types of HSA proved equally effective in treating mice with liver disease. Moreover, mice that were given HSA derived(源自)from rice did not have stronger immune reactions(排异反应)than those that were given the HSA obtained directly from human blood.
“Scientists have been using plants to produce HSA for two decades, but the yield is too low,” said Yang Daichang, a scientist a Wuhan University, who led the research.
In this experiment, she said, it took researchers only two days to extract about 46 percent of the protein from the plant. This meant that 2.75 grams of HSA could be taken from every kilogram of brown rice. According to researchers, this amount is more than enough to make commercial production feasible(可行的).
Yang said that the team hopes to begin testing the new HSA on humans within the next two years.
66. Which of the following about HSA is TRUE according to the article?
A. It is a kind of hormone.
B. It is produced in the kidneys.
C. It helps make steroids and fatty acids in the blood.
D. It is in short supply and demand cannot be met.
67. According to the article, ________ need more HSA than the others.
A. those who are very thinB. those with serious burns
C. those who donate bloodD. those who have a headache
68. What did scientists find from the tests into the rice-derived HSA that were conducted on mice?
a. The rice and human versions HSA looked much the same.
b. Mice accepted the rice-derived HSA not worse than the human HSA.
c. The rice-derived HSA can help mice with liver disease recover completely.
d. The rice-derived HSA is as effective as human HSA for mice with liver disease.
A. a, b, dB. a, c, d C. b, d, eD. b, c, e
69. The underlined word “extract” (Paragraph 8) probably means_____

A good emergency plan is the second step in preparing your family to deal with a disaster. The first step in preparing for a disaster is to collect emergency supplies for when a disaster strikes. The purpose of a family emergency plan is to make sure that every member of your family knows what to do, where to go and how to communicate with family members in an emergency.
One basic part of the plan is to write down essential telephone numbers and locations for each family member. It’s also important to have the phone number of a long distance contact who can organize communications between family members. Each family member should also know exactly how to send text messages.
To create a realistic emergency plan, you should list the types of emergency possibilities that your family might meet with. You should start with the most likely first. For example, what will your family do in case of a house fire? Then, you should consider the types of weather emergencies and natural disasters that occur most frequently in your area. Where will you shelter in the event of a tornado(龙卷风)? Will you move for a hurricane and where will you go? For some of the more extraordinary types of emergency, you may have to research what type of response is appropriate for your family.
Once you’ve developed your family emergency plan, you need to explain it to each member of the family carefully. You’ll need to make sure that they know the plan and can carry out their role in the plan. Some aspects of the plan may have to be rehearsed(排练) and tested. For example, if you are relying upon relatives in a distant state to be your long distance emergency contact, have your kids call those relatives to say hi, get familiar with the number, and know the process for making a long distance call.
If your family has developed an emergency plan, foreseen likely emergencies, you will feel more secure and be better equipped to cope with an actual emergency situation.

I had always planned to take a tour of Yosemite, and I finally fulfilled my dream last December. I cannot help but express how much I enjoyed my tour of Yosemite.
As the best-known scenic spot, Yosemite National Park is actually a natural wonder. The park is located in the middle of the Nevada mountain range. It has huge rocks, great waterfalls and fantastic valleys.
I really need to thank my tour guide, Tony. He was very helpful and he told me a lot of interesting facts about the scenic spots we saw. As I couldn’t drive, the tour guide was also my driver. He picked me up at 8 o’clock in the morning. He was a professional and experienced tour guide, so he tried everything to make sure that I had an interesting and relaxing tour. As he was driving, he kept on telling me about the wildlife and the unique scenery in this surprising land.
Bridalveil Fall was our first stop. The best time to see it is in summer, but I didn’t go there in the hot season, so the waterfall was not as good as it could have been. I still took a photo of myself standing in front of this terrific waterfall before leaving for my next stop. When I first saw El Capitan, the largest standing sandstone structure in the world, I knew why it was called “El Capitan”. The huge structure dwarfed(使矮小) everything around it. Though I was used to seeing skyscrapers, nothing had prepared me for this.
I felt so happy and excited after I came back from Yosemite. I haven’t had this feeling for a very long time. Happiness usually comes when we do activities that accomplish something, which is a deep feeling of joy that often lasts a long time. So I decided to go out for a trip constantly to make myself happy and relaxed.

Dear Editor,

Dear Editor,
I feel honorable to share my opinions with you. From your paper, I know that in recent years, some teenagers always feel lonely and indifferent. They have difficulty communicating with their classmates. Some even seek to hurt others and themselves. These have much concern in society.
In my opinion, mental health greatly affects people’s quality of life, so it is necessary for teenagers to improve it. I hope the following suggestions will make a difference. I think the first thing they should do is take part in various activities to develop a friendship with others and strengthen the ability to face setbacks. Meanwhile, parents should give children more care and love than money and food at home. Parents should learn to listen to their children instead of talking too much. Last but not least, teachers should inspire them to develop potential and organize more activities to help them build self-confidence and learn to cooperate.
Only the general public focus on the healthy growth of children can we create a good environment for them to live happily.
Yours,
Li Ming
