试题分析:文章讲述了一个真理的寻求者找了多年之后,被告诉山洞里的一口井可以告诉他真理,他就找到了那口井,从井里发出了声音告诉他到十字路口的村庄去,在那儿他能找到真理。他去了之后才发现那里只有三家商店,一家在买一些金属,一家在买木头,还有一家在买细线,其余的什么也没有了。他并未找到真理。多年之后,他在散步的时候被美妙的琴声所吸引,顺着琴声找过去发现了一架琴,他突然领悟到什么才是真谛。零碎的东西没有多大意义,但是要组合在一起,就有了它难以估量的价值了。
1.C考查名词的含义。句意为:在寻求了多年之后,一位真理的寻求者被告诉,到山洞里去,在那儿有一口井,问那口井真理是什么,它就会向你揭露真理是什么。life n生活; dream n 梦,梦想;truth n 真理,真相;success n 成功。由上文可知,是真理的寻求者,故这里应为真理。答案为C。

疑问,什么是真理,故答案应为D。

4.A 考查动词的意思。句意为:他满怀希望的跑到了十字路口去吃惊的发现只有三个很无趣的商店。only to do 表示另人吃惊的结果。所以应是吃惊的发现---。故答案应为A。find vt v 发现;observe vt观察; understand vt理解; feel vt感觉,感受。故答案应为A。

Bali Beach Resort has plenty of attractions. It is a holiday paradise(乐园). The self-styled ‘Ultimate Island’ certainly has plenty for everyone.
Where in the world ?
Bali is located just off the eastern edge of the main Indonesian island of Java. To the east is the neighboring island of Lombok. To the south of Bali lies the expanse of the Indian Ocean, while to the north is the Bali Sea. The most popular resort with holidaymakers is Ubud north of Sanur.
When to go?
Bali has a tropical climate year round with an average daily temperature of 31℃(87℃F). The wet season is between October and April. The dry season is between May and September, and is the busiest time to visit the island as travelers take advantage of the long hot days and little rain.
Beach
Bali has a string of beaches, mainly in the south of the island. Head away from Bali’s beaches and a totally different world awaits you. Ubud is an easily accessible (接近的)jungle resort town with a good range of hotels, shops and restaurants. The active volcano of Mount Batur is a highlight and so are the mountain lakes.
Family fun
All of the resorts have plenty of facilities (设施)for families. In Ubud there is a monkey park, where young ones can see monkeys that are not kept in tiny cages and an elephant park where holidaymakers can ride an elephant.
Eating out
All of Bali’s holiday resorts offer international cooking to suit every tourist’s taste, with most of the better hotels having excellent restaurants. Indonesian Bintang beer is very popular.
Getting around
There are a limited number of local buses. The other public transport is to take the local “bemo” minibuses. These colourful little minibuses speed around the winding roads with fares negotiated (商议)on board, so it helps to speak a little of the local language. There are also taxis and both electric bikes and cars can be hired.
【小题1】From the passage we learn that Bali is __________.
A.on the east of the Lombok Island |
B.to the west of the Lombok Island |
C.off the north of Bali Sea |
D.surrounded by the Indian Ocean |
A.January and February | B.April and May |

D
If you want to live longer and lower the risk of heart disease, a move to the mountains may help. Research by scientists in Greece shows that living in the mountains is good for the heart and longevity. People living at higher altitude have lower possibility of dying from heart disease than those closer to sea level, even if they have factors that could increase their risk."Residence in mountainous areas seems to have a 'protective effect' from heart disease," said Dr Nikos Baibas of the University of Athens.He and his colleagues suspect that the increased exercise from walking up mountainous area gives the heart a good workout and enables it to cope with lower levels of oxygen.
Researchers studied the health records and death rates of 1,150 Greeks who lived in three villages near Athens over 15 years.One village was 1,000 metres above sea level and the other two were in low-lying areas.Although men and women living in the mountainous village had higher blood pressure rates and other risk factors than people in the other villages, they had a lower rate of death from heart disease and other causes after a fifteen year follow-up."The contrast was more evident among men than among women," Baibas added in a report in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health.Heart disease is one of the world's top killers.Smoking, high blood pressure, raised cholesterol levels, being overweight or obese and a family history of the illness increase the odds of developing the disease.
68.The first sentence in the passage is used to __________.
A.tell readers what the passage focuses on
B.give a very good guessing
C.warn people of the risk of heart disease
D.name a new unknown illness
69.According to the passage, a person _________ may have less possibility of having heart attack.
A.with more money B.with a better living habit
C.from higher altitude D.in a happier mood
70.How long does the research of the Greeks last?
A.At most 10 years. B.About 15 years.
C.More than 20 years. D.Not mentioned.
71.Apart from altitude, how many factors raise the chance of developing heart disease?
A.three B.Four C.Five D.Six
