1.Kite flying is the sport of sending up into the air by means of the wind,a light frame covered with paper,plastic or cloth.The frame can be one of many different shapes and is attached to a long string held in the hand or wound on a drum.Kites have a long history of practical application and many different types of kite have been developed to serve various purposes.
The ancient Chinese used bird-kites to carry ropes across rivers and valleys.The current folding kite which will dive excitingly is an improved type of such a kite.With its long flat body and single pair of bird-like wings,it looks just like a large bird in the air.The modern version is usually made of tissue-paper rather than the traditional silk.
Man-lifting kites were developed in ancient times,again by the Chinese,for getting information from walled cities and army camps.In fact,as recently as the Second World War,German U-boats flew kites from their towers to lift people into the air to watch the land.These kites,which are no longer in existence,were made of light-weight cloth.They were much larger and stronger than the Chinese ones.Their design,however,was simply that of the cutter kite.Smaller in size,this type of kite is still very popular as a toy for children,being easy to make with a diamond-shaped frame,no wings and brown-paper covering.
Box-kites are another type of kite found in toy shops today.The first box-kite,named for its box-like body,was developed in the nineteenth century to test theories of flight and this type of cotton-covered kite greatly assisted the success of early aeroplane.These kites are the ancestors of a heavier version of the box-kite,which consists of two main sections,placed side by side.Developed for the peacetime purpose of fishing in strong sea wind,it is the only modern kite described which has practical value.A long-lasting plastic material has to be used for this kite,which carries fishing lines.

A.silk             B.paper             C.cloth               D.plastic

C.as toy for children                          D.for fishing in strong sea wind

A.The ancestors of modern kites     
B.The history of the Chinese kites
C.Different types and uses of kites   
D.The differences between ancient and modern kites.

分析 本文介绍了几种不同时代不同国家的几种不同的风筝类型以及它们的原料和用途.

解答 56.答案是A.细节理解题,根据文中句子"The modern version is usually made of tissue-paper rather than the traditional silk"现代风筝通常是由纸做成的而不是传统的丝做成的,可见古代中国的风筝是由丝做成的,故答案选A.
57.答案是C.细节理解题,根据第三段的句子"These kites,which are no longer in existence,were made of light-weight cloth"这些风筝是由重量很轻的布料做成的,所以答案选C.
58.答案是B.细节理解题,根据第三段第一句"Man-lifting kites were developed in ancient times,again by the Chinese,for getting information from walled cities and army camps"是为了从城内和军营获取信息,所以答案选B.
59.答案是D.细节理解题,"The current folding kite which will dive excitingly is an improved type of such a kite"现代折叠的风筝只是一种新型风筝类型的改进,说是对飞行理论的验证是错误的,所以答案选D.
60.答案是C.纵观全文写了不同种类的风筝及其不同的原料和性能,所以答案选C.

9.(51)G.She described all the things she had to do-one was to make her bed-from the moment she woke up until she flew out of the door for work.I suggested she experiment by not making her bed for two weeks.She was shocked,probably thinking I'd been raised by wolves in a forest.(52)D.
Two weeks later she went into my office beaming.She had left her bed unmade for the first time in 42years-and nothing bad had happened."And you know what?"she said."I don't dry my dishes anymore,either."
(53)A.One was discovering that she had choices in her life that she had never seen before.The other was giving herself permission to be less that perfect.This story shows an important principle (原理) about managing time:No one can do it all.Each of us has to make choices and accept trade-offs.The problem is,many people choose in ways that put themselves and their health last.They take better care of their houses and cars than they do of themselves.(54)C.
So what is the solution?There's an easy way.Decide what you want in your life,and put that first.On a daily basis,that should include regular meals,enough sleep and time with your family.Exercise,leisure,friendships and hobbies should also be regular aspects of life.(55)F.The choice is yours:whatever makes you feel good about yourself and your life.Take a nap.Take a walk.Take time to play the piano.Stop bringing your briefcase home from the office.Stop keeping your house as clean as your mother kept hers.Fill more of your time with want-to-dos instead of have-to-dos.

A.This woman had made two major breakthroughs (突破).
B.Above all,you needn't do anything for yourself regularly.
C.They put everyone else's needs ahead of their own.
D.However,she went along with my idea.
E.Most people do not take time to relax themselves.
F.The point is to do something for yourself every day.
G.A patient came to see me about the stress in her life.

13.Autumn blues?Let the sunshine in.
Falling leaves,withering flowers,cold winds,faint sunshine.(71)FSpirits can be low.
People who suffer from"the autumn blues"often are extremely exhausted,lack energy,need more sleep,feel increased appetite and gain weight.
"The exact cause of this condition,often called seasonal depression or seasonal affective disorder (SAD),is not known yet,"says Chen Jue,associate professor at Shanghai Mental Health Center."But recent studies indicate that weather change is influential and strongly suggest that this condition is caused by changes in the availability of sunlight."
One theory is that with decreased exposure to sunlight,the biological clock that regulates mood,sleep,and hormones is delayed,running more slowly in winter.(72)A.Another theory is that brain chemicals that transmit information between nerves may be altered (改变)in individuals with SAD.It is believed that exposure to light can correct these imbalances.
"(73)C Remember,spring always lives in your heart,"Chen says.
Here are some tips to deed with autumn depression.
•Go outdoors and get some sunlight.Move around.Fresh air and exercise improve the respiratory(呼吸)system and blood circulation and regulate the nervous system.Thus,exercise is calming and relieves one's mood.
•Relax at work.Stretch,breathe deeply.Take a tea break.Think of your next vacation.
•(74)_E Chocolate and sugar raise the spirits.
•Look at bright colors,such as red and orange.Color therapy improves mood.
•Listen to your favorite music.You can dance to it,or just lie on a cozy couch,reading a novel.
•(75)BBlooming plants are cheering.
•Call friends or family when you feel lonely or depressed.Recall some happy memories.

A.Exposure to light may reset the biological clock
B.Decorate your room and work space with flowers.
C.It is a sad season,but you can try to make it happy.
D.That is the way you can use to lighten yourself.
E.Keep a chocolate bar in your pocket.
F.For many people late autumn can be a season of gloom and depression (抑郁).
G.Autumn always gives us a beautiful scene.
