The answer depends largely on cultural values as well as personal experiences. To the Egyptians, green was a color that represented the hope and joy of spring, while for Muslims, it means heaven. Red is a symbol of good luck in many cultures. In China, children are given money in a red envelope to bring good fortune in the New Year. For many nations, blue is a symbol of protection and religious beliefs. Greek people often wear a blue necklace hoping to protect themselves against evils (灾祸). Peoples choice of colors is also influenced by their bodies reactions (反应) toward them. Green is said to be the most restful color. It has the ability to reduce pain and relax people both mentally and physically. People who work in green environment have been found to have fewer stomachaches. Red can cause a persons blood pressure to rise and increase peoples appetites (食欲). Many decorators will include different shades of red in the restaurant. Similarly, many commercial websites will have a red “Buy Now” button because red is a color that easily catches a persons eye. Blue is another calming color. Unlike red, blue can cause people to lose appetite. So if you want to eat less, some suggest that eating from blue plates can help. The next time you are deciding on what to wear or what color to decorate your room, think about the color carefully.21. Muslims regard green as a symbol of heaven mainly because of their .A. cultural values B. commercial purposes C. personal experiencesD. physical reactions to the color22. Why will many commercial websites have a red “Buy Now” button? A. To relax people physically. B. To increase peoples appetites. C. To encourage people to buy the goods.D. To cause a persons blood pressure to rise.23. What color might help lose weight according to the text?A. Red.B. Green. C. Purple. D. Blue.BI like watching butterflies. Sometimes I think Im the only girl who notices these quiet but beautiful things. But if it hadnt been for a crowded restaurant, I wouldnt have ever noticed Valeri.Valeri was a new student. She walked to class with her books against her chest and her head down. She talked only when the teacher asked her a question. After a month at our school, she hadnt made any friend. One day at lunch, most tables being full, I had nowhere to sit. Valeri sat alone, book in hand. I walked over to her, “Is that a good book?” Valeri gave a small nod and went back to reading. “Whats it about?” I asked. After seconds of silence, she looked at me, her eyes shining, “Well, its about a dragon! This boy, Eragon, finds this dragon egg when he goes playing one day. He thinks its a rock! The egg hatches (孵化) and Eragon hides the dragon from his cousin and uncle until it gets too big .”Two weeks later, I was sitting in the auditorium (礼堂) enjoying the talent show. Then a shy girl walked on stage. I recognized her immediately. Valeri held a violin in one hand and a bow in the other. She started to play. The notes formed a soft, sweet song. The auditorium fell completely silent until we realized the music was finished. I smiled to myself. Valeri wasnt just “a quiet girl”. She knew about wonderful books and could play the violin like nothing Id ever heard. Like a butterfly, she was beautiful and amazing when you looked closely.24. The author went to sit beside Valeri because .A. Valeri invited her to sit thereB. Valeris book drew her attentionC. no more empty seats were leftD. she wanted to make friends with Valeri25. In the book Valeri was reading, raised the dragon.A. Eragons fatherB. EragonC. Eragons cousinD. Eragons uncle26. Butterflies are mentioned in the text to show .A. the beauty of butterfliesB. the authors interestC. the qualities of friendsD. the character of Valeri27. Which of the following words can best describe Valeri?A. Quiet and talented.                 B. Friendly and active.C. Careful and easygoing.D. Kind and helpful.C Staying healthy is important, but many people neglect (忽视) their health because they dont think they have the time to look after it. Its not just a time matter; people think its boring to spend time on their health. In fact, you can do some simple things to get healthier and have fun.Therere some fun things that hardly seem like they are for keeping you healthy at all, but they do help. The first thing you can do is singing. Singing improves your oxygen (氧气) flow, which in turn is good for your skin and immune system (免疫系统). Its also good for your brain. Another feel-good and health-improving activity is laughing. You can watch a funny movie. Laughing is a healthy way to reduce stress and pain, improve brain function, lower blood pressure and protect the heart.Laughing and singing might go together, but for something completely normal that you do every day, you should eat to stay healthy. Its unhealthy not to eat breakfast or try to work on an empty stomach. You can eat some fruit or other healthy snacks instead of missing a meal.Exercise is important to staying healthy, but it often feels more like work than fun. One thing you can do to have more fun is attend a dance class. Dancing in a safe environment is good exercise as well as fun. Taking classes in kung fu can be a lot of fun too. It can be a great way to lose weight, but you should probably consult your doctor before starting if you are in bad health or very overweight.28. According to the passage, many neglect their health because they  .A. are already healthy enoughB. are too tired to stay healthyC. believe theres no time for itD. think it costs too much 29. How many ways of staying healthy are mentioned in the text? A. Three.B. Four.         C. Five.         D. Six.30. The underlined word “consult” in Paragraph 4 probably means “ ”. A. askB.  bookC. considerD. manage31. The best title for the passage is probably .A. What to eat to stay healthyB. Fun ways to stay healthy    C. How to make life more funD. Different fun exercisesDYou may not know a lot of people when you start high school. Even if you know some freshmen (新生), you still feel nervous that you dont know any upper-classmen and teachers. How are you going to make friends among this sea of unknown faces?Most high schools hold a freshman orientation before school actually starts, which is helpful not only because you learn your way around the building and get to meet some of your teachers, but also because you get to meet fellow freshmen. That way, when you show up on your first day of school, you may already recognize a few familiar faces. When you talk to your new classmates, youll probably find that a lot of them are feeling just like you are. Theyre all new to the school and dont know what to expect. Talking about a common concern with them can help you develop friendships. The work in high school is something freshmen are probably worried about. The work in high school builds on what you learned in middle school, giving you a more advanced knowledge of many subjects. You may find you have more work to do or that its a bit more challenging. If you ever find your work too difficult, teachers can give you extra help. High school also has more extracurricular activities (课外活动) than middle school did such as clubs, music and theater groups and sports teams. This is a good time to explore your interests and try new things. High school gives you the chance to learn how to manage your time, to develop your social skills and interests, and more importantly to be more independent and responsible.32. What does the underlined word “orientation” mean in Paragraph 2?A. Training. B. Game. C. Discussion. D. Examination. 33. What are freshmen probably worried about?A. The freshman orientation.B. The ability to make friends. C. The relationship with teachers. D. The learning task.34. Extracurricular activities mainly help students . A. build up healthy bodies B. develop friendshipsC. develop their interests D. improve their learning ability35. This passage is written for . A. freshmen at high school B. freshmens parentsC. middle school students D. upper-classmen in high school第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Quick tips for better time managementAre you a good time manager?
