19.I returned home the other night,tired.My husband asked me how my evening was,"Great."I told him.I had spent 90 minutes in a gym with 10 Ping-Pong tables and all kinds of players,all playing a little ball over the net.By 9 pm,I was excited,tired,satisfied.I had beaten two young men half my age and lost battles against other competitors.To an observer,the night was common.To me,it was a lucky thing that I hadn't expected.
I had taken up Ping-Pong during college,and in my 30s took more advanced lessons.However,a serious accident hurt my leg,which made me unable to take exercise.Months later,I tried to play Ping-Pong but my leg pained for a week.I put the game out of my mind.
When I was 53,one day my bad leg was working a little bit better.Could Ping-Pong be possible for me,now---in my condition,at my age?I tried to play Ping-Pong again
Ping-Pong is a sport which requires endurance(耐力).Players need quick foot work and upper body movements to return balls,requiring faster response time than tennis.
Playing Ping-Pong offers benefits for the brain.A study of 164 women aged 60 and older showed that Ping-Pong improved cognitive(認知)function more than dancing,walking or gymnastics."The great thing about our sport is that it can be played by anyone,"said Jimmy Butler,a four-time national USA Table Tennis Association winner."I see 90-year-olds and 10-year-olds."
Years passed and my endurance improved.People started to praise my shots.I won a game.Then I won agin.These days,I feel wonderful,I believe this sport is the fountain (源泉)of youth.

25.What can we know about the author from the first paragraph?A
A.She was satisfied with herself that evening
B.She felt disappointed when losing battles
C.She lost battles against two young men
D.She was the best player in the gym
26.What sport can improve cognitive function more effectively?C

A.It is good for the brain
B.It can be played by anyone
C.It can build up people's muscles

9.Have you ever felt sick or had a headache during a test?Have you ever been so worried about something that you can't sleep at night?(36)F This worry in your mind can made your body feel bad.You may feel angry,frustrated,scared,or afraid------which can give you a stomachache or a headache.
    (37)AGood or normal stress might happen when you're called to answer a question in class or when you have to give a speech.This kind of stress can help you to get things better done.(38)G
    But bad stress can happen if the stressful feelings keep going over a long time.You may not feel well if your parents are fighting,if a family member is sick,if you're having problems at school,or if you're going through anything else that makes you upset every day.(39)D    
(40)CThat means making good decisions about how to spend your time.If you're only dealing with school stuff and have no time to play,you can get stressed.Make sure you keep yourself in mind:Sleep,Exercise,Leisure(休閑),and Food.If you take care of yourself and get enough sleep and food,and if you exercise and leave time for fun stuff,you'll probably be less stressed out!
A.However,there are two different kinds of stress.
B.Can you tell a kind of stress from another one?
C.The best way to keep stress away is to have a balanced life.
D.That kind of stress isn't going to help you,and it can actually make you sick.
E.Since bad stress is harmful for us,you'd better try to change it into good stress.
F.If so,then you know what stress is.Stress is what you feel when you are worried or uncomfortable about something.
G.For example,you may do a better job on your test if the stress pushes you to prepare well before the test.

14.The oddness of life in space never quite goes away.Here are some examples.
First consider something as simple as sleep.Its position presents its own challenges.The main question is whether you want your arms inside or outside the sleeping bag.If you leave your arms out,they float free in zero gravity,often giving a sleeping astronaut the look of a funny balled (芭蕾) dancer."I'm an inside guy,"Mike Hopkins says,who returned from a six-month tour on the International Space Station."I like to be wrapped up."
On the station,the ordinary becomes strange.The exercise bike for the American astronauts has no handlebars.It also has no seat.With no gravity,it's just as easy to pedal violently.You can watch a movie while you pedal by floating a microcomputer anywhere you want.But station residents have to be careful about staying in one place too long.Without gravity to help circulate air,the carbon dioxide you exhale (呼氣) has a tendency to form an invisible (隱形的) cloud around you head.You can end up with what astronauts call a carbon-dioxide headache.
Leroy Chiao,54,an American retired astronaut after four flights,describes what happens even before you float out of your seat,"Your inner ear thinks your're falling.Meanwhile your eyes are telling you you're standing straight.That can be annoying-that's why some people feel sick."Within a couple days-truly terrible days for some-astronauts,brains learn to ignore the panicky signals from the inner ear,and space sickness disappears.
Space travel can be so delightful but at the same time invisibly dangerous.For instance,astronauts lose bone mass.That's why exercise is considered so vital that National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) puts it right on the workday schedule.The focus on fitness is as much about science and the future as it is about keeping any individual astronauts return home,and,more importantly,how to maintain strength and fitness for the two and a half years or more that it would take to make a round-trip to Mars.

32.What is the major challenge to astronauts when they sleep in space?A
A.Deciding on a proper sleep position
B.Choosing a comfortable sleeping bag
C.Seeking a way to fall asleep quickly
D.Finding a right time to go to sleep.
33.The astronauts will suffer from a carbon-dioxide headache whenC.
A.the y circle around on their bikes
B.they use microcomputers without a stop
C.they exercise in one place for a long time
D.they watch a movie while pedaling
34.Some astronauts feel sick on the station during the first few days becauseD.
A.their senses stop working
B.they have to stand up straight
C.they float out of their seats unexpectedly
D.whether they are able to go back to the station
35.One of the NASA's major concerns about astronauts isB.
A.how much exercise they do on the station
B.how they can remain healthy for long in space
C.Whether they can recover after returning home
D.whether they are able to go back to the station.

4.A woman renewing her driver's license at the County Clerk's office was asked to state her occupation.She hesitated,uncertain how to classify herself.
"What I mean is,"explained the recorder,"do you have a job,or are you just a …"
"Of course I have a job,"said Emily."I'm a mother."
"We don't list‘mother'as an occupation…‘housewife'covers it,"said the recorder.
    One day I found myself in the same situation.The clerk was obviously a career woman,confident and possessed of a high sounding title."What is your occupation?"she asked.
    The words simply popped out."I'm a Research Associate in the field of Child Development and Human Relations."
    The clerk paused,ballpoint pen frozen in midair.
    I repeated the title slowly,and then I stared with wonder as my statement was written in bold,black ink on the official questionnaire.
"Might I ask,"said the clerk with new interest,"Just what you do in this field?"
    Without any trace of panic in my voice,I heard myself reply,"I have a continuing program of research (what mother doesn't),in the lab and in the field (normally I would have said indoors and out).Of course,the job is one of the most demanding in the humanities (any mother care to disagree?),and I often work 14 hours a day (24 is more like it).But the job is more challenging than most careers and rewards are more of a satisfaction rather than just money."
    There was an increasing note of respect in the clerk's voice as she completed the form,stood up,and showed me out.
    As I drove into our driveway,buoyed up (依托) by my glamorous new career,I was greeted by my lab assistants---ages 13,7,and 3.
    Upstairs I could hear our new experimental model (a 6 month old baby),in the child-development program,testing out a new vocal pattern.
    I felt proud!I had gone on the official records as someone more distinguished and indispensable (不可缺少的) to mankind than"just another mother."
    Motherhood…What a glorious career!Especially when there's a title on the door.
9.How did the female clerk feel at first when the author told her occupation?B
A.curious     
B.puzzled     
C.indifferent     
D.interested
10.How did the author feel when describing her job to the clerk?A
A.calm    
B.funny     
C.worried     
D.cool
11.Wh y did the woman clerk show more respect for the author?C
A.Because the author cared little about rewards.
B.Because she admired the author's research work in the lab.
C.Because she thought the author did admirable work.
D.Because the writer did something she had little knowledge of.
12.What is the author's purpose of writing the passage?B
A.To show how you describe your job affects your feelings toward it.
B.To argue that motherhood is a worthy career and deserves respect.
C.To show that the author had a grander job than Emily.
D.To show that being a mother is hard and boring work.

11.Keeping pace with teachers is a fine way to study English.Teachers are experienced and their plans are systematic.But remember to work in a way that suits you.It's important to learn from past mistakes as well.Keep a notebook to make a record of the mistakes you make-it'll help you avoid making the same ones later.
The time of life may be hard,but you're not alone.You may be busy studying,but you can show your care by calling your friends or sending short messages.Don't let your friendships die.
It's as important to live well as it is to study well.Going to bed no later than 11:30 pm is vital.It puts you in the right mood for the next day.You needn't follow a special diet,but make sure you are eating nutritious meals each day.
The person who plays well,studies well.Having a lot of schoolwork doesn't mean having to give up other activities.Playing basketball or having a talk with your classmates can relax yourself.Time_out is not a waste of time but helps you study more efficiently.
Besides taking the big exam,you have other choices for college.I took the independent enrollment exam held by Peking University and some other students even were preparing to study abroad.Pay attention to any relevant information you can find,whether it's from school,the news media or other sources.

8.Arthur Miller (1915-2005)is universally recognized as one of the greatest dramatists of the 20th century.Miller's father had moved to the USA from Austria Hungary,drawn like so many others by the"Great American Dream".However,he experienced severe financial hardship when his family business was ruined in the Great Depression of the early 1930s.
Miller's most famous play,Death of a Salesman,is a powerful attack on the American system,with its aggressive way of doing business and its insistence on money and social status as indicators of worth.In Willy Loman,the hero of the play,we see a man who has got into trouble with this system.Willy is"burnt out"and in the cruel world of business there is no room for sentiment:if he can't do the work,then he is no good to his employer,the Wagner Company,and he must go.Willy is painfully aware of this,and at a loss as to what to do with his lack of success.He refuses to face the fact that he has failed and kills himself in the end.
When it was first staged in 1949,the play was greeted with enthusiastic reviews,and it won the Tony Award for Best Play,the New York Drama Critics'Circle Award,and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama.It was the first play to win all three of these major awards.
Miller died of heart failure at his home in Roxbury,Connecticut,on the evening of February 10,2005,the 56th anniversary of the first performance of Death of a Salesman on Broadway.
21.Why did Arthur Miller's father move to the USA?B
A.He suffered from severe hunger in his home country.
B.He was attracted by the"Great American Dream."
C.He hoped to make his son a dramatist.
D.His family business failed
22.The play Death of a SalesmanA.
A.exposes the cruelty of the American business world
B.discusses the ways to get promoted in a company
C.talks about the business career of Arthur Miller
D.focuses on the skills in doing business
23.After it was first staged,Death of a SalesmanA.
A.a(chǎn)chieved huge success
B.won the first Tony Award
C.was warmly welcomed by salesmen
D.was severely attacked by dramatists.
