2、tter. Please mark the corresponding letter for each item on Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once. Questions 1 to 10 are based on the following passage. The ability to laugh at your own weaknesses and blunders has long been re
3、cognized as a sign of maturity. And yet this is one of the most difficult 1 of your sense of humor to develop. Oscar Wilde once offered a 2 insight about the way we live our lives when he said that “Life is too important to be taken seriously.” I dont think he meant you dont have to take your 3 , pr
4、omises, work, etc. seriously. He didnt mean that its OK to live life with no 4 . I think he meant that the quality of our life suffers when we 5 everything in a serious manner. We are no longer 6 , cheerful and spontaneous as when we were kids when we take everything so seriously. I think the key he
5、re is to take your work and your duties seriously, but take yourself 7 in the process. Otherwise, you will lose many benefits that a 8 attitude and humor can offer. Theres a liberating quality that most people experience when they get to the point that they can laugh at themselves. We get so caught
6、up in our anxieties, embarrassments, 9 and upsets that we carry them around with us throughout the day. But when we find a way to laugh at them, they lose their emotional grip on us and 10 into the background. We feel at peace with the incident, even thought it was very embarrassing at the moment. A

8、nts. For each of them are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre. Passage One Exercise is one of the few factors with a positive role in long-term maintenance of body weight.
9、Unfortunately, that message has not gotten through to the average American, who would rather try switching to “light” beer and low-calorie bread than increase physical exertion. The Centers for Disease Control, for example, found that less than one-fourth of overweight adults who were trying to shed
10、 pounds said they were combining exercise with their diet. In rejecting exercise, some people may be discouraged too much by caloric-expenditure charts: for example, one would have to briskly walk three miles just to work off the 275 calories in one delicious Danish pastry (小甜饼). Even exercise profe
11、ssionals concede half a point here. “Exercise by itself is a very tough way to lose weight,” says York Onnen, program director of the Presidents Council on Physical Fitness and Sports. Still, exercises supporting role in weight reduction is vital. A study at the Boston University Medical Center of o
12、verweight police officers and other public employees confirmed that those who dieted without exercise regained almost all their old weight, while those who worked exercise into their daily routine maintained their new weight. If you have been sedentary (极少活动的) and decide to start walking one mile a
13、day, the added exercise could burn an extra 100 calories daily. In a years time, assuming no increase in food intake, you could lose ten pounds. By increasing the distance of your walks gradually and making other dietary adjustments, you may lose even more weight. 11. What is said about the average
14、American in the passage? A) They tend to exaggerate the healthful effect of “light” beer. B) They usually ignore the effect of exercise on losing weight. C) They prefer “light” beer and low-calorie bread to other drinks and food. D) They know the factors that play a positive role in keeping down bod
15、y weight. 12. Some people dislike exercise because _. A) they think it is physically exhausting B) they find it hard to exercise while on a diet C) they dont think it possible to walk 3 miles every day D) they find consulting caloric-expenditure charts troublesome 13. “Even exercise professionals co
16、ncede half a point here” (Line 3, Para. 2) means “They _”. A) agree that the calories in a small piece of pastry can be difficult to work off by exercise B) partially believe diet plays a supporting role in weight reduction C) are not fully convinced that dieting can help maintain ones new weight D)
17、 are not sufficiently informed of the positive role of exercise in losing weight 14. What was confirmed by the Boston University Medical Centers study?

18、 impossible without exercise. D) One could lose ten pounds in a years time if theres no increase in food intake. 15. What is the authors purpose in writing this article? A) To justify the study of the Boston University Medical Center. B) To stress the importance of maintaining proper weight. C) To s
19、upport the statement made by York Onnen. D) To show the most effective way to lose weight. Passage Two As we have seen, the focus of medical care in our society has been shifting from curing disease to preventing diseaseespecially in terms of changing our many unhealthy behaviors, such as poor eatin
20、g habits, smoking, and failure to exercise. The line of thought involved in this shift can be pursued further. Imagine a person who is about the right weight, but does not eat very nutritious (有营养的) foods, who feels OK but exercises only occasionally, who goes to work every day, but is not an outsta
21、nding worker, who drinks a few beers at home most nights but does not drive while drunk, and who has no chest pains or abnormal blood counts, but sleeps a lot and often feels tired. This person is not ill. He may not even be at risk for any particular disease. But we can imagine that this person cou
22、ld be a lot healthier. The field of medicine has not traditionally distinguished between someone who is merely “not ill” and someone who is in excellent health and pays attention to the bodys special needs. Both types have simply been called “well.” In recent years, however, some health specialists
23、have begun to apply the terms “well” and “wellness” only to those who are actively striving to maintain and improve their health. People who are well are concerned with nutrition and exercise, and they make a point of monitoring their bodys condition. Most important, perhaps, people who are well tak
24、e active responsibility for all matters related to their health. Even people who have a physical disease or handicap (缺陷) may be “well,” in this new sense, if they make an effort to maintain the best possible health they can in the face of their physical limitations. “Wellness” may perhaps best be v
25、iewed not as a state that people can achieve, but as an ideal that people can strive for. People who are well are likely to be better able to resist disease and to fight disease when it strikes. And by focusing attention on healthy ways of living, the concept of wellness can have a beneficial impact
26、 on the ways in which people face the challenges of daily life. 16. Today medical care is placing more stress on _. A) keeping people in a healthy physical condition B) monitoring patients body functions C) removing peoples bad living habits D) ensuring peoples psychological well-being 17. In the fi
27、rst paragraph, people are reminded that _. A) good health is more than not being ill B) drinking, even if not to excess, could be harmful C) regular health checks are essential to keeping fit D) prevention is more difficult than cure 18. Traditionally, a person is considered “well” if he _. A) does
28、not have any unhealthy living habits B) does not have any physical handicaps C) is able to handle his daily routines D) is free from any kind of disease 19. According to the author, the true meaning of “wellness” is for people _. A) to best satisfy their bodys special needs B) to strive to maintain
29、the best possible health C) to meet the strictest standards of bodily health D) to keep a proper balance between work and leisure 20. According to what the author advocates, which of the following groups of people would be considered healthy? A) People who have strong muscles as well as slim figures
30、. B) People who are not presently experiencing any symptoms of disease. C) People who try to be as possible, regardless of their limitations.
