    D 

       The fact that blind people can see things using other parts of their bodies apart from their eyes may help us to understand our feelings about color. If they can sense color differences, then perhaps we, too, are affected (影响) by color without knowing it. Salesmen have discovered by experience over a long period of time that sugar sells badly in green wrappings (包装), that blue foods are considered not agreeable to the taste ,and that cosmetics (化妆品) should never be packed in brown. These discoveries have grown into a whole subject of color psychology (心理学).
    Some of our preferences (偏爱) are clearly psychological. Dark blue is the color of the night sky and therefore connected with calm, while yellow is a day color connected with energy and encouragement. Experiments have shown that colors, partly because they are connected with psychology, also have a direct effect on people’s mind. People in bright red surroundings (环境) show an increase in breathing speed, heartbeat and blood pressure. Red is exciting. Pure blue has exactly the opposite effect; it is a calming color. Being exciting, red was chosen as the signal for danger, but a closer study shows that a bright yellow can produce a more basic state of alarm, so fire engines in some advanced areas are now rushing around in bright yellow colors that stop buses, trucks and cars.         
    65. The passage tells us that salesmen have _______.
    A. found out that colors affect sales   
    B. discovered the relationship between color and psychology 
    C. tried colors on blind people     
    D. developed a special subject of color psychology    
    66. If people are exposed to (置身于) pure blue, _______.
    A. their body pressure rises                    B. they won’t easily feel nervous
    C. they want to taste blue foods          D. they will feel like buying things
    67. The most effective color in the passage for warning people is _____.      
    A. red    B. bright yellow    C. dark blue    D. green
    68. Which of the following do you think is the best title of the passage?
    A. Color and Feelings                B. Colors and Sales 
    C. The Blind and Colors             D. Preferences for Colors

And in more ancient days the choices made the  35  between life and death. The crisis we meet today are  36  to be so extreme, but however little the stress is, it requires the same response. It is when such a reaction  37  a long time, through continued exposure to stress, that health becomes  38  . Such serious conditions as high blood pressure and heart disease have established links with stress. 39  we cannot remove stress from our lives, we need to find ways to deal with it.

    Three surfers rushed to save a man’s life after he was left drifting on a notorious stretch of water.
    The men stayed with Greg Popple for 30 minutes and had to be rescued themselves by helicopter as the drama unfolded.
    The 45-year-old had floated out on a body board near Hutchwns Point at 8:30 am. He found himself in trouble about half-a-mile from the shore and dangerously close to rocks. Surfers Graig Evans, 31, Robert Miles, 19, and Owain Daviees, 23, were risking their own safety to keep him floating for 30 minutes. Luckily a passer-by noticed what was going on and raised the alarm. Porthcawl Coastguard, Porthcaw Lifeboat and an RAF helicopter all took part in the rescue.
    “The man who got into trouble was a body boarder-there was a big tide where he was,” said Joe Missen. “Three other surfers spotted he was in difficulty and he was going down. They kept him afloat because he was in a state of shock and out of energy. If Mr. Popple was closer to the rocks, it could have been a lot worse, but they managed to keep him from harm”.
    Mr. Missen’s mum Alison, also part of the rescue team, said, “That part of the water is notorious for taking people out to nowhere”.
    The three men had clocked off a night shift at Ford Motor Company shortly before the incident.
    “I headed straight down to the beach for a surf, when I saw him flailing(挥动). We just swam straight out to him and kept him calm while the help came”.
    The four men were taken to the life boat house to recover, without injuries.
    61. What would be the best title for the text?
    A.Three Men to Be Praised                  B Notorious Place for Surfers
    C.Surfers Rescue Man Caught in Tide           D.Greg Popple-a Lucky Dog
    62. The helicopter came up at the request of ________.

    A.Mr. Popple moved difficulty for loss of energy
    B.The three men were badly injured
    C.Mr. Popple’mum was also in the rescue team
    D.Mr. Davies was going to work that morning
    64. According to the text, what was the most important thing to do for the three men?
    A.Keeping him farther away from the rocks.       B.Keeping Mr Popple swimming in the sea.
    C.Asking him to have a good rest.               D.Keeping him floating everywhere.

    Baths and bathing have been considered of an important medical therapy to man. In Greece there are the ruins of a bath tub and water system built over 3 000 years ago. The Romans had warm public baths. In some public baths as many 3 000 persons could bathe at the same time.
    Treating diseases by bathing has been popular for centuries. Modern medical bathing, or hydrotherapy, first became popular in Europe and by the late 1 700’s also became popular in the United States.

    By the 1 700’s doctors began to say that soap and water were good for health. They believed that it was good for people to be clean. Slowly, people began to bathe more frequently.

    第二部分：阅读理解（共两节；满分35 分）  
    第一节：（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
    阅读下面四篇短文，从每小题后的A，B，C，D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
    WASHINGTON -Tofu（豆腐）and Soyaburgers (豆饼) may be coming to American school lunch menus. What will the kids say? “Terrible,” said Greg Dudzinski, 17, of Ripon High School in Wisconsin, as he toured the US capital.
    “The regular hamburgers are bad enough, so soyaburgers would be a lot worse, offered Zach Richey, 13, of Scottsboro Junior High in Alabama, another tourist. But the United States government – hoping to reduce the amount of fat that children are eating –has approved the use of soy as a meat substitute in meals for schools and day-care centers.Not all kids dislike the change. Mariel Spano, 17, of sandy Greek High School in New York, also visiting the capital, said she likes soyaburgers：“There is less fat, and they are better for you… They taste the same, and they are just as good.”
    The government tried to make soy a meat substitute nearly 20 years ago, but later dropped the idea．At the time, the plan was intended as a cost-cutting move. US Agriculture Department officials say that their purpose now is only to make meals healthier.Schools are likely to increase the amount of soy that is mixed with hamburgers and other foods already on their menus, and they will also be looking for food companies to develop new soy products that children will like. “I can’t see putting tofu on a student’s plate and having a good acceptance. I can see taking a product that is familiar to the students and adding a large amount of soy to it and having it to be acceptable,” said Jill Benza, director of food services for the Mesa, Arizona schools.
    36．What is the newspaper report mainly about?
    A．The difficulty in using soy products for US schools.
    B．Various opinions on soy products for US schools.
    C．The plan that is made by the US government for school lunch.
    D．Healthy foods for students in US schools.
    37．Where did the interviews most probably take place?
    A．In food companies.            B．In schools.
    C．In Washington.                D．In some other states.
    38．We may learn from the text that _________________________.
    A．soyaburgers taste better than hamburgers.   
    B．hamburgers are healthier than soyaburgers.
    C．soyaburgers cost less than hamburgers.    
    D．hamburgers cost less than soyaburgers.
    39． What Jill Benza said shows that ___________________________.
    A．students have not yet been used to soy products.
    B．it is hardly possible to make soy products popular.
    C．he does not like the change in meals for students.
    D．schools are unwilling to change the lunch menus.

    请认真阅读下列短文，从短文后所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
    A
    In meditation（冥想），people sit quietly and focus their attention on their breath. As they breathe in and out, they attend to their feelings. As thoughts go through their minds, they let them go. Breathe. Let go. Breathe. Let go.
    According to a recent study at the Insight Meditation Society in Barre, Massachusetts, three months of training in this kind of meditation causes a marked change in how the brain allocates attention. It appears that the ability to let go thoughts that come into mind frees the brain to attend to more rapidly changing things and events in the outside world. Expert mediators are better than other people at catching such fast-changing stimuli, like facial expressions.
    The study provides evidence for changes in the workings of the brain with mental training. People can learn and improve abilities of all sorts with practice, everything from driving to playing the piano. The study has shown that meditation is good for the brain. It appears to reduce pressure and promote a sense of well-being.
    In an experiment, 17 volunteers with no meditation experience in the experimental group spent three months meditating 10 to 12 hours a day. A control group also with no meditation experience meditated for 20 minutes a day over the same period. Both groups were then given the tests with two numbers in a group of letters. As both group looked for the numbers, their brain activity was recorded.
    Everyone could catch the first number. But the brain recordings showed that the less experienced mediators tended to grasp the first number and hang onto it, so they missed the second number. Those with more experience gave less attention to the first number as if letting it go, which led to an increased ability to grasp the second number. This shows that attention can change with practice.
    Just ask Daniel Levision, who meditated for three months as part of the study.” I am a much better listener,” he said. “I do not get lost in my own personal reaction to what people are saying.”
    56. The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 1 refers to ________.
    A. feelings         B. minds         C. people        D. thoughts
    57. Meditations manage their daily tasks better because they ________.
    A. are given less pressure                   B. allocate their attention better
    C. have more stimuli for life                D. practice them more frequently
    58. The study proves that ________.
    A. meditation improves one’s health        B. brain activity can be recorded
    C. human attention can be trained              D. mediators have a good sense of hearing
