The pilots voice was heard throughout the plane: “Sorry for the delay, ladies and gentlemen. Our engines dont work. We are going to jump-start them. Once we get them going, well get up in the air and see what happens.” That was all he said. “See what happens? Shouldnt we have had a better plan than that?” At that point, I could only laugh nervously. One woman started crying: “Oh, no! We are going to crash!” There are sighs of desperation and anxiety, and we hadnt even taken off yet. The pilot even seemed unhappy. He told us one engine was working double time, and his plan was to get up in the air and see what happens! Then we did. We got up in the air, and what happened? Nothing. We arrived in Norfolk, and no sooner had the wheels touched down than applause burst out as everyone on the airplane breathed a sigh of relief. All too often, people stop achieving their goals just because they don't have a guaranteed result. But success will never be guaranteed. The best thing that you can do is to just get up in the air, and see what happens. If your aim is to build a business, then get up in the air and see what happens! Don't give yourself all the reasons why you cant. Do not wait until you have everything you need. You never will. If your goal is to start a friendship, say “Hello”, get up in the air and see what happens! The results could be very rewarding. If your goal is to learn a new skill, get up in the air and see what happens! It might not be as difficult as you think. It could be fun!21. How did the author feel when the pilot said the engines didnt work?A. Disappointed B. Anxious C. Curious D. Relieved22. What can be inferred from the passage? A. The passengers began crying after the plane took off. B. The engines often worked double time to get started. C. The pilot tried to comfort the nervous passengers. D. The passengers reached the destination safe and sound.23. The underlined sentences in the last paragraph means “_”. A. think carefully before you make friends. B. start to fly the plane to see what will happen. C. make an effort even if the result is uncertain. D. get up from the chair and greet somebody.24. What can be the best title for the passage? A. We Will See What Happens B. I Survived An Adventurous Flight C. The Pilot Risked Our Lives D. Making Plans Is Better Than Taking Chances B We get it: Youre tired. Youre busy. And your shoes are away over there. Excuses are OK sometimes, but not every dayand especially not today. So put on your sneakers, get up off the couch, and let us kick your excuses to the curb (路边).“Idislikepanting !” Being really out of breath may mean youre trying too much too soon, which will kill your confidence. But you dont have to be huffing and puffing to get a workout. Being active doesn't have to mean high-intensity. Its just about moving.“I hate exercise.” It may seem unbearable, but you just have to get started. Exercise releases endorphins (your brains own feel-good chemicals), which can be habit-forming. Whats the best exercise? The one youll do regularly. So you may hate running. Dont run! Ride your bike or just dance. Even cleaning your room is active. As long as youre moving and getting your blood pumping, it counts. So get creative.“I dont have time.” You may not have lots of time to spare when youre busy with schoolwork, but we bet you can find 10 minutes. Bonus: An activity break will send oxygen to your brain, making you super-alert and more creative too. Famous thinkers like Aristotle and Steve Jobs liked “walking meetings," and you can follow in their footsteps by moving around while you brainstorm about a tough task or memorize your English vocabulary.“I never see results!” Even if you train with the help of a professional, you wont see results right away. But you will feel them almost immediately. Dont focus on how your body looksfocus on how you feel. Keep a journal of when you exercise (or dont) and how you feel that day: Stressed? Focused? Tired? When you start noticing the amazing effects of exercise, youll have no excuses.25. The underlined part “huffing and puffing” in Paragraph 2 can be replaced by “_”.A. moving around B. breathing heavilyC. feeling confident D. wearing nice shoes26. In the authors eyes, the best exercise is the one that _. A. is very relaxing B. you will stick to C. produces good results D. you can spare time on27. Steve Jobs is mentioned to prove that doing exercise_. A. is good for ones figure B. is good for ones health C. makes one much happier D. makes one more productiveC Emily and her boyfriend had just had a fight. She felt alone and hopeless. Then she went into the kitchen and grabbed what she needed before going back up to her room quietly. She switched on the TV and started eatingand eatingfor hours, until it was all gone. What Emily didn't know at the time was that she was suffering from an illness called binge-eating disorder(BED)(暴饮暴食). For years, Emily didn't tell anyone what she was doing. She felt ashamed, alone, and out of control. Why don't famous people confess (承认) to BED, as they do to anorexia? It's simple: There's a stigma（污名）involved. “Overeating is seen as very bad, but dieting to be skinny is seen as positive and even associated with determination," says Charles Sophy, a doctor in Beverly Hills , California. "Some parents or friends may look at a teen with BED and think, 'Oh, a good diet and some will-power will do the trick.' But that's not true," says Dr.Ovidio Bermudez , a baby doctor at the Eating Recovery Center in Denver. "Eating disorders are real physical and mental health issues; it's not about willpower." The focus in treating BED shouldn't be on weight, because as with all eating disorders, the behaviors with food are a symptom of something deeper. Like most other diseases, genetics may play a big part in who gets BED and who doesn't. If you have a close relative with an eating disorder, that means you're more likely to develop an eating disorder of your own. Besides, many people with BED have tried at some point or another to control it by going on a diet, but paying more attention to food doesn't help. And it might even make things worse, like it did for Carla, who's 15 now and is recovering from BED. "My parents would always tease me about my weight, so when I was 14, I went on a very restrictive diet," she says. When you can't have something, you only want it more, so every time Carla would have a bite of something that wasn't allowed on her strict diet. She would quickly lose control and binge (狂欢).28. What does the underlined word "anorexia" in Paragraph 3 mean?A. Eating too much. B. Eating junk food. C. Loss of the wish to eat. D. Always eating in a hurry.29. According to Dr. Ovidio Bermudez, people with BED_ .A. just need a lot of willpower B. can recover with a good diet C. can recover with the help of others D. need to deal with their health problems30. What can we learn from Carla's story?A. BED is an incurable disease. B. BED has something to do with genes.C. Going on a diet won't help BED patients. D. BED patients should pay attention to their food. 第二节 （共5个小题；每小题2分，满分10分）Arguments happen in every healthy relationshipwe know it sounds contradictory, but its truebut they can still have a negative impact if they arent handled properly. 31 Take a breath. We know that it can be hard to think clearly when you are angry, so we would first like to encourage you to try to take a second to collect your thoughts before engaging in a dialogue with your partner. 32 If you are not careful you could potentially say what might damage your relationship.Take the situation as it is. Even though you are angry and it can be hard to be objective, try to see the situation for what it is. Do not escalate (不断恶化) the argument. 33 Try to understand the purpose behind the actionif something happened accidentally, you should not treat as if it were done intentionally. 34 If you have done something wrong, the best possible option for you is to admit it. Denying something only makes it more hurtful and often your partner will be able to forgive you much more quickly if you are honest.Set ground rules. After a fight you and your partner can have a heart-to-heart talk of what happened. 35 At this point you can set some ground rules for future fights, like not cursing each other or calling each others names, which might help reduce the intensity of your fights.Fighting with someone is never easy. And its especially difficult when you are arguing with someone that you care about. Thinking carefully and controlling yourself during an argument can help you avoid saying something that could permanently hurt your relationship.A. Take positive action.B. Avoid making excuses.C. Anger can be poisonous.D. Here is how to maintain good relationship.E. You can discuss what hurts each of you and how you can move forward.F.
