第I卷第一部分閱讀理解(共兩節(jié)，滿分40分)第一節(jié)(共15小題；每小題2分，滿分30分)閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)(A、B、C和D)中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。APeople who eat chocolate regularly tend to be thinner, new research suggests.The findings come from a study of nearly 1，000 US people that looked at diet, calorie intake and body mass index (BMI)a measure of obesity.It found those who ate chocolate a few times a week were, on average, slimmer than those who ate it occasionally.Even though chocolate is loaded with calories, it contains components that may favour weight loss rather than fat synthesis (合成), scientists believe.Despite boosting calorie intake, regular chocolate consumption was related to lower BMI in the study, which is published in Archives of Internal Medicine.The link remained even when other factors, like how much exercise individuals did, were taken into account.According to the researchers, there is only one chance in 100 that their findings could be explained by chance alone.Lead author Dr Beatrice Golomb, from the University of California at San Diego, said, “Our findings appear to add to a body of information suggesting that the composition of calories, not just the number of them, matters for determining their impact on weight.”This is not the first time scientists have suggested that chocolate may be healthy for us.Other studies have claimed chocolate may be good for the heart.Consumption of certain types of chocolate has been linked to some favourable changes in blood pressure, insulin sensitivity and cholesterol level.And chocolate, particularly dark chocolate, does contain antioxidants (抗氧化劑) which can help to wipe away harmful free radicalsunstable chemicals that can damage our cells.However, while theres no harm in allowing yourself a treat like chocolate now and again, eating too much might be harmful because it often contains a lot of sugar and fat too.And if you are looking to change your diet, you are likely to benefit most from eating more fresh fruit and vegetables.1What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 1 refer to?AThe study.

You consider this question as you sink into an old wooden beach chair that holds you above the sand.It was a long journey from Bangkok to Huaplee. By the time you found the bus station and got yourself sorted out, it took almost as long as the flight from Falongland.Huaplee is located just south of Hua Hin, about two hundred kilometres from Bangkok, down the west side of the Gulf of Thailand. Not many tourists find this place, and the ones that do wonder if finding it has been their purpose all along.Theres an apparent laziness that surrounds you here. Its what this place offers, and its free of charge. The small waves that tap the shoreline seem to slow everything down. You settle into your beach chair in preparation for a long rest. You sit there and watch the sea.Its early afternoon, so the cook comes out and asks what youd like to eat this evening. Before long hes rushed off to the market to buy the ingredients for whatever it was that you orderedevery meal fresh and to order. No menu here.There is no poolside noise here but just that wonderfully warm, clear blue sea. Theres no street noise. The only sounds are the murmurs of nature.For now you just count your blessings (福祉), listing them in the sand with your toe (腳趾). You dont have to worry about being late for work. You dont have to do anything.The beach to your right stretches off to the horizon (地平線), slowly narrowing to nothingness only to re-emerge again on your left, now steadily widening until it covers the chair beneath you. Sand to your left and sand to your right; its unbroken, endless. No start, no end, just sand, sun, and peace. Step off it, and you re-enter the world of traffic, stress, work, and hurry.Normally youre the type who cant sit still for more than ten minutes, but youre on Huaplee Lazy Beach now and, in the right frame of mind, it stretches all the way around the world.“How could it take me so long to find it?” you wonder. 13.

In the authors opinion, a tourist can enjoy Huaplee Beach most when he _.A. sits in a beach chair B. forgets his daily routineC. plans a detailed schedule D. draws pictures in the sand15. What does the author imply by his question at the end of the passage?A. He shouldnt have counted his blessings.B. He should have understood the wonder of nature.C. He shouldnt have spent so much time on the trip.D. He should have come to the place earlier. 第二節(jié)(共5小題；每小題2分，滿分10分)根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。We spend so much time waiting to be loved, hoping love will find us, and looking for that special love._16_ To be loved, you should love and respect yourself as much as you do to others.In order to love someone, you should love yourself.Stop comparing yourself to others.Everyone on the earth is unique.We all have different gifts.When you compare yourself to others for what they have, whether it is a car, a house, or a job, it makes you feel bad about yourself.Really be grateful about everything you have._17_Practice receiving love.To truly love is to be able to receive it.When someone loves you, does some kind deeds to you, or says kind words, accept it.Allow yourself to feel the love that has come your way.Know that you are worthy of love._18_ You give yourself a chance to learn more about yourself that you are lovable.You give someone a joy of giving by loving you._19_ Write about your experiences, good and bad.When you write down good experiences, allow yourself to feel those feelings.When you remember bad experiences, allow yourself to feel selfcompassion.Compassion is not selfpity, but rather willingness to accept ones own pain and regret.Stop trying to be perfect._20_ Always do your best, but not reaching perfection is NOT failure.Just follow all the steps above and dont let anyones expectations of you put any pressure on you.AKeep a diary.BPraise yourself.CDo not feel guilty about it.DGratitude keeps your heart open to love.EUnfortunately, thats not usually how life works.FStop blaming yourself for being less than perfect.GIt is important to accept a gift of love by others.第二部分：英語(yǔ)知識(shí)運(yùn)用（共兩節(jié)，滿分45分）第一節(jié) 完形填空 （共20小題，每小題1.5分，滿分30分） 閱讀下面短文，從短文后各題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)（A、B、C和D）中，選出可以填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)，并在答題卡上將該項(xiàng)涂黑。When our restaurant business failed, we headed north in a camping truck to Texas, hoping to have a “fresh start”.At the 21 of Palo Duro Canyon (峽谷) State Park, I 22 a job advertisement hiring park hosts.

The next day we met with the people who ran the park. They explained our 30 and gave us a beautiful campsite. That evening, 31 , we learned about the canyon 32 . They were strong and cold, rocking our little camping truck violently, and we lay 33 in the dark until the winds died away. 34 the weeks that followed, we learned to survive in our truck and 35 the little money my wife 36 by substitute teaching. Building a successful business and then losing it had left very little time for building a successful 37 . For a time after our business 38 I thought I might lose my family as well.
