阅读下面短文，回答文章后面的5个问题。要求用完整的句子回答。

On a bluestone road, performers in ancient Chinese costumes charge on horses, stretching their arms and shouting all the way through.

The audience stands shoulder to shoulder by the road and on rooftops alongside the ancient alley（小巷）, cheering together with loud drum beats in Xiadongzhai village, in the city of Yangquan in northern China's Shanxi province.

"It is a custom that has lasted for over 1,000 years, and represents the martial（尚武）spirit," said Yuan Yuxiang, Party secretary of the village.

In the Tang Dynasty (公元618年——公元907年), Xiadongzhai was a military relay station, where army messengers found food, shelter and spare horses before moving on to their next destination.

The process of transferring horses and leaving the station was later adapted into a folk performance held once a year, on the day after Lantern Festival.

Many are attracted by the boldness and skills of the riders, who do not use saddles（马鞍）or stirrups during the high-speed charge.

Over the years, the performance has become the most celebrated event in the village.

"No matter how far people are from home, or how busy they are, they try their best to return home for the fair on that day," Yuan said.

This year, nearly 10,000 people gathered on the road, which is 100 meters long and 4 meters wide, to watch the performance.

1.What do the performers wear when they charge on the horses?

2.Where does the horse-riding custom happen?

3.What was the main function of Xiadongzhai village in the Tang Dynasty?

4.Why do the people return home for the folk performance on the day after Lantern Festival ?

5.After you finish reading this text, please write at least 30 words to describe another interesting event in Yangquan?

第一节：阅读下面短文并做每篇后面的题目。从A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出能回答所提问题或完成所给句子的最佳答案。（本节有11小题；每小题2分，共22分）

A quarrel at home may result in you falling ill. Don’t laugh, it’s true. Family matters including living habits and even the way we speak have a big effect on our health, doctors say.

Wang Xiaoyu, a Senior 2 girl from Xichang, Sichuan Province, fainted (晕倒) in class when she heard her classmates quarrel at the top of their voices. Quarrels between her parents also put the girl into a coma. It is because she is suffering from depression (抑郁症), caused by bad relations at home, doctors explained.

“We don’t get sick or stay well by ourselves,” says Dr Robert Ferrer from the US. Ferrer shows that family forces may explain up to a quarter of health problems, in his recent research.

The genes you get from your family may cause illness. If one of your parents has a heart attack, your risk of being affected may double. But effects on health are not only written in our DNA.

Unrelated people who live under the same roof also get similar problems. Diet, lifestyle and environment affect our health, too.

Ferrer’s research also found that if teenagers feel they are ignored or unimportant at home they are more likely to get sick.

We may never fully understand all the effects that families have on our health. But just as individual (个别的) problems can have effects on others, a small improvement can have big benefits, Ferrer said.

45. Which of the following can best explain why Wang Xiaoyu fainted in class?

A. Because her classmates often quarreled in class.

B. Because her parents used to quarrel.

C. Because of her depression caused by bad family relations.

D. Because her classmates shouted loudly at her.

46. According to Dr Ferrer, which of the following statements is TRUE?

A. We get sick or stay well by ourselves.

B. Only the genes we get from our family have a big effect on our health.

C. Our health has nothing to do with diet, lifestyle and environment.

D. Teenagers who are ignored at home get sick more easily than those who are not.

47. The best title for this passage is ________.

A.  Family relations.                                  B. The reasons why we get sick.

C.  Happy family makes you healthy.            D. A research about teenagers’ health.

阅读下面短文并根据短文后的要求回答问题（请注意问题后的词数要求）。

[1] Homestay is a great way to experience a new culture. As a volunteer you will get a new family to live with. Apart from their visits to tourist sites, most international volunteers remember their experiences in the homestay.

To help you with your homestay, here are a couple of tips.

[2] As a sign of kindness, carry a small gift to the family you are going to live with. It will make you look like a generous person and they will try to accommodate(提供住宿) you longer. People are all glad to be given gifts.

[3] As you will be living in a new home and culture, there are things that are different. There should be habits which could be new to you, like how they take a shower or how they raise kid. Do not judge them by their habits, but try to understand their culture. Soon you will find their ways are different but they also work.

[4] Don’t be the first one to wake up or the last one to wake up in the mornings. Wake up in time for breakfast and if possible try to help make breakfast. Some cultures find it __________________________ to still be in bed when everyone has got up.

[5] Be thankful for everything the family decides to give you or do for you. If the host mom wants to wash your clothes, just accept and be very grateful. When they bring food and any other things to you, make sure to thank them.

[6] Most volunteers stop communicating with the host family after they end their homestay. They may forget the host family. The better way is to keep up with the host family whenever you can. This way you would form a lifelong friendship, and the next time you go to that country you can stay with them again.

1.What’s the best title of the passage? (no more than 6 words)

_____________________________________________________________

2.Complete the following statement with proper words. (no more than 4 words)

阅读下面短文，并根据短文后的要求回答问题。（注意字数要求）。（答案写在答题卷的横线上）

Being healthy means taking care of yourself physically and mentally. Here are some of my best tips on how to do both:

Break a bad habit. You don’t really “break” habits. You replace the unwanted behavior with something that prevents you from doing it and that doesn’t have unhealthy side effects. So if your problem is that you eat too much when you get home from work, find something new to do that is incompatible（不能共存的）with what you usually do. You can’t walk around the track at the school and pig out in your kitchen at the same time.

Grow your marriage. Relationships are negotiated, and the negotiation never stops. It’s always a give-and-take, always requires work. It’s like if you planted a garden and came back six months later----you wouldn’t even be able to find it. You have to tend it, feed it, weed it, deal with the problems.

Beat stress.  My dog, Maggie, is the best anti – stress tool I have. A few minutes petting, scratching or playing with her, and                            . Exercise also helps. Just about every day, I’m on the tennis court. It’s a great workout, and if I don’t have that, I don’t cope as well, sleep as well or think as well.

Refocus your anger. Expressing your anger is just not that good an idea. You say things you don’t mean. Instead, recognize that anger is usually a symptom of hurt, fear or frustration（挫折）, and deal with the causes rather than blow up. When you do that, you’re a problem solver.

Don’t medicate with food.

It never, ever works. You’re denying your issue by eating your way through it, instead of saying, Hey, I’ve got a problem.

1．What’s the best title? （Answer within 10 words.）

_____________________________________________________________

2．Fill in the blank in the passage in your own words.（Answer within 10 words.）

_____________________________________________________________

3．Complete the following statement with proper words.(no more than 4words).

Marriages are much like gardens. You need to _______________ your marriage as you do to your garden. It takes much effort to maintain your marriage. If there is a problem, you should deal with it immediately

4.What does the word “it” (paragraph 2) probably refer to? (no more than 3 words)

_____________________________________________________________

5．How to refocus your anger according to the whriter? （ Answer within 30 words.）

[1] If you are applying for an American higher education, you probably dream of getting into an Ivy League (常青藤联盟) university．The eight schools with the best reputations attract top students from the United States and many other countries． However, on average, the Ivy League schools accept less than 15 percent of applicants．And with the applicants growing in size year on year, it is becoming more and more difficult _________．

[2] So how can you give yourself the best chance of admission?

[3]Having a high school grade point average （GPA） in the top 10 percent of your class and being ranked among the top few students dramatically betters your chances．But although GPA and SAT scores are important, they only tell admission deans（主任）part of the story．

[4] The whole admissions process will single out (挑选出) from a large pool of academically strong applicants the unique individuals．They stand out because they have shown in their interviews a range of virtues (优点) expected of these universities．Take Harvard for example．Although there is no guarantee of admission, the school judges applicants based on 15 additional criteria．

[5] Intellectual curiosity (求知欲) comes first tor almost all admission deans．Schools look to such students because they believe their peers find them stimulating（激励人的）inside and outside the classroom．

[6] Leadership also weighs heavily．The school would rather see an applicant who takes on additional responsibility in one or two areas where he or she is good at, rather than one who is merely "very good" academically．This can mean the class presidency（主席职务）, leading the cheerleading team or being the officer of a student union．

[7] Whether a person has personal warmth and cares about others counts a lot with the admission deans．Writing an essay on a personal experience, like a summer spent raising funds for the earthquake victims or teaching in a local school, can show that a person has qualities in addition to academic experience．

1.What is the purpose of the passage? （no more than 15 words）

________

2.Which sentence in the passage can be replaced by the following one?

The universities pay attention to the students with this virtue in that they can inspire their fellow students at school.

________

My name is Clara. I still remember that chilly December day, sitting in science class. I had finished a worksheet early and picked up a TIME for Kids magazine. A piece of news caught my eye: NASA (美国宇航局) was holding an essay contest to name its Mars rover (火星探测器). Before I even knew anything else about it, a single word flooded my 11-year-old mind, Curiosity.

I couldn’t wait for the bell to ring so I could get started on my essay. That afternoon, I raced home, sat down at the computer, and typed until my fingers ached. “Curiosity is an everlasting flame that burns in everyone’s mind…”

Five months later, my mom received a phone call, and immediately, a wide smile spread across her face.

On August 5, 2012, at 10: 31pm, the rover named Curiosity touched down safely on the surface of Mars, and I was honored to have a front-row seat in NASA.

Curiosity is such an important part of who I am. I have always been fascinated by the stars, the planets, the sky and the universe. I remember as a little girl, my grandmother and I would sit together in the backyard for hours. She would tell me stories and point out the stars. Grandma lived in China, thousands of miles away from my home in Kansas, but the stars kept us together even when we were apart. They were always there, yet there was so much I didn’t know about them. That’s what I love so much about space.

People often ask me why we go to faraway places like Mars. My answer is simple because we’re curious. We human beings do not just hole up in one place. We are constantly wondering and trying to find out what’s over the hill and beyond the horizon.

1.How did the author get the news about the essay contest? (within 7 words)

________

2.In which year was the author born according to the passage? (within 2 words)

________

3.Why did author have a front-row seat in NASA? (within 10 words)

________

4.What does the author remember about the time spent with Grandma? (within 15 words)[

________

5.What does the underlined phrase “hole up” in the last paragraph probably mean? (1 word)

My grandfather came from Hungary and was the only one in his family who settled down in the United States. The rest of his family remained in Europe. When World War I broke out, he seemed to have become another man, downhearted. He was very much afraid that if his only son, my uncle, had to go to war, it would be cousin fighting against cousin.

One day in 1918, my Uncle Milton received his order for army service. My grandparents were very upset. But my mother, at the age of 10, was on top of the world about her soldier brother going off to war. Realizing how he was regarded by his little sister and all of her friends, my uncle bought them all service pins, which meant that they had a loved one in the service. All the little girls were delighted.

The moment came when my uncle and the other soldiers, without any training but all in uniforms, boarded the train. The band played and the crowd cheered. Although no one noticed, I’m sure my grandmother had a tear in her eye for the only son. The train slowly pulled out, but not about a thousand yards when it suddenly paused. Everyone stared in wonder as the train slowly returned to the station. There was a dead silence before the doors opened and the men started to step out. Someone shouted, “The war is over!” For a moment, nobody moved, but then the people heard someone bark orders at the soldiers. The men lined up in two lines, walked down the steps, and with the band playing, marched down the street, as returning heroes, to be welcomed home. My mother said it was a great day, but she was just a little disappointed that it didn’t last a tiny bit longer.

1.Where does the author live? （within 4 words）
