There is no denying that some people live to be older than others. Followed arc the standard explanations: 21．（6分）

keeping a moderate diet, engaging in regular exercise, etc. But what effect does your personality have on your longevity (长寿）？ Are there any kinds of personalities contributing to longer lives? A new study in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society looked at these questions by examining the personality characteristics of 246 children of people who had lived to be at least 100.

According to the study, those who live the longest are more outgoing, more active and less neurotic(神经质的）than other people. Long-living women are also more likely to be sympathetic and cooperative than women with a normal life span. These findings are in agreement with what you I would expect from the evolutionary theory: those who like to make friends and help others can gather enough resources to make it through tough times.

Interestingly, however, other characteristics that you might consider advantageous had no impact on whether study participants were likely to live longer. Those who were more self-disciplined, for instance, were no more likely to live to be very old. Also, being open to new ideas had no relationship to Jong life, which might explain all those bad-tempered old people who are fixed in their way.

Whether you can successfully change your personality as an adult is the subject of a longstanding psychological debate. But the new paper suggests that if you want long life, you should strive to be as outgoing as possible.

Unfortunately, another recent study shows that your mother's personality may also help determine your longevity. That study looked at nearly 28,000 Norwegian mothers and found that those moms who were more anxious, depressed and angry were more likely to feed their kids unhealthy diets. Patterns of childhood eating can be hard to break when we’re adults, which may mean that kids depressed moms end up dying younger.

Personality isn’t destiny, and everyone knows that individuals can learn to change. But both studies show that long life isn’t just a matter of your physical health but of your mental health.

1、The purpose of the study in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society is . A．to see whether people's personality affects their life span B．to find out if one’s lifestyle has any effect on their health C．to investigate the role of exercise in living a long life D．to examine all the factors contributing to longevity

2、What does the author imply about outgoing and sympathetic people? A．They have a good understanding of evolution. B．They are better at negotiating an agreement. C．They generally appear more resourceful. D．They are more likely to get over hardship.

3、What finding of the study might prove somewhat out of our expectation?

A．Easy-going people can also live a relatively long life.

B．Advantageous personality characteristics actually vary with times. C．Such characteristics as self-discipline have no effect on longevity. D．Readiness to accept new ideas helps one enjoy longevity. 4、What is the main idea of this passage?

A．Anxiety and depression cut one's life span short. B．Longevity results from mental and physical health. C．Personality plays a decisive role in longevity. D．Health is in large part related to one's life style. 22．（8分）Haad Farang (Haad Sai Yao),KohMuk

This small but striking bay in Thailand has waters free from riptides（激流）,making it safe for families to play water in the sun.As its nickname implies—Farang is Thai for foreigners—you'll find a large concentration of backpackers here.Still,with only a couple of simple food shops,it's a far cry from the noises of Chaweng beach on Koh Samui or Kamala on Phuket,which makes it to be one of the top tourist destinations.

Rent a sea kayak（皮划艇）(100 baht,which is around￡2 an hour) and go around the comer to Tham Morakot (the Emerald Cave),a winding cave that opens up to a.bay walled by thick leaves and often visited by groups of monkeys.It is very inspiring,but to fully appreciate it,be sure to prepare a light to avoid knocking into cave walls and other kayaks.To avoid being crowded,make the trip in the late afternoon. Where to eat

The Ko Yao Viewpoint Hotel is the best place for tourists.Drink the sweet cocktails in favour of an icy Chang beer and sit in the last rays of the day. Where to stay

Cheaper hotels of comparable quality are set slightly back in the forest,but if you want beachfront access it's worth choosing one of the basic hotels at Koh Mook Charlie Beach Resort (bungalows from￡32). Getting there

Fly from Bangkok to Trang with Air Asia (from￡30),then take a one-hour Tigerline ship from Hat Yao Pier (￡19).Besides,a five-hour ship from Phuket at Rassada Pier(￡41) goes directly to the island and will drop passengers at Haad Farang.

23．（8分） Photography has opened our eyes to a multitude of beauties, things we literally could not have seen before the invention of the frozen image. It has greatly expanded our notion of what is beautiful, what is aesthetically(审美上) pleasing. Items formerly considered trivial, and not worth an artist's paint, have been revealed and honored by the photograph: things as ordinary as a fence post, a chair, a vegetable. And as technology has developed, photographers have explored completely new points of view: those of the microscope, the eagle, the cosmos.

What is it that delights the human eye and allows us to claim that a photograph is beautiful? Photography depends on the trinity of light, composition, and moment. Light literally makes the recording of an image possible, but in the right hands, light in a photograph can make the image soar. The same is true with composition. What the photographer chooses to keep in or out of the frame is all that we will ever see - but that combination is vital. And the moment that the shutter is pressed, when an instant is frozen in time, provides the whole image with meaning. When the three - light, composition, and moment - are in balance, there is visual magic.

Light, composition, and moment come together in a photograph to bring us the ultimate reality: a view of the world unknown prior to the invention of the camera. Before photography, the basic artistic rules of painting were rarely broken. Images were made to please, not to capture reality. But as photography evolved, painterly rules were often reacted in the pursuit of fresh vision. Photographers became interested in the real world, good and bad, and it was the accidental detail that was celebrated. Photography invited the world to see with new eyes - to see photographically - and all of the arts have drawn new inspiration from this change.

With these basic aesthetic tools, photographers have evolved from scientists longing to “fix” an image — any image — to artistic revolutionaries. Photographs have created a new way of seeing, changed our ideas of beauty and, most

importantly, made art more democratic. They have given us visual proof that the world is grander than we imagined, and that there is beauty, often overlooked, in nearly everything.

1、Before the invention of photography, which of the following was least likely to appear in an artistic work? A．A great person. B．A lovely insect. C．A grand building. D．A beautiful landscape.

2、What is the function of paragraph 2?

A．To argue that photographic beauty is subjective. B．To explain the evolution of the concept of beauty. C．To describe the elements that make a successful photo. D．To illustrate different types of photographic techniques. 3、How has photography affected other art forms? A．It has reduced their popularity. B．It has forced them to change their rules. C．It has changed their methods of composition. D．It has provided them with new points of view.

4、What does the author mean by saying photography has “made art more democratic\" ? A．It has expanded the concept of artistic beauty. B．It has challenged the status of traditional art forms. C．It has enabled the development of new artistic tools. D．It has allowed more people to take part in creative activities.

24．（8分）As more people opt for the single life, adult friendships also grow more important For people in relationships, having a reliable group is important, too-your mate will be much happier if you’re spreading your anxieties beyond his or her cars and you will also feel better.

In a recent study, researchers made some fascinating findings about how “who we are” informs the friendships we hold. The study was based on the most popular personality construct in contemporary psychology, the Big 5 personality traits (特征); extraversion, or how much you love attention and interacting with people; neuroticism, or how easily worried you are by things; agreeableness, or how warm and kind you are; conscientiousness, or how careful you are about lifers many duties; and openness to experience, or how much you’re into discovering new things, whether they’re

ideas, people, or places.

For their study, the research team recruited 434 students. They took a personality questionnaire in the lab, then rated how satisfied they were with their friends and their life overall, and then researchers asked them to recommend half a dozen friends to rate their personality. Gathering these ratings together, the researchers found that openness to experience didn’t have anything to do with friendship satisfaction, at least in this study. Neuroticism was linked to lower satisfaction (probably because emotionally unstable people may be dramatic or hard to please, at least in my personal experience). But having high scores in the three remaining sunny traits-conscientiousness, extra version, and

agreeableness-predicted higher friendship satisfaction. However, it’s a pretty intuitive (直觉的) result, since it’s easy to be friends with someone who’s always on time, always saying that you’re right, and always up to hang out But if you don’t exactly identify with all that* fear not: Your personality is so much more than your traits. 1、What does the author think of the friendship? A．It is helpful to dating and work. B．It can relieve your negative emotions. C．It has nothing to do with personality. D．It is ba.sed on the 5 popular personality traits. 2、What did the recent study find? A．The biggest 5 personality traits.

B．The methods of informing the friendships. C．The ways to form the most popular personality. D．The relationship between personality and friendships.

3、What does the underlined word “neuroticism” in Paragraph 2 mean? A．Determination. B．Nervousness. C．Hesitation. D．Optimism. 4、What opinion does the author hold?

A．It’s hard to please emotionally unstable people. B．A punctual person can surely make more friends.

C．Friends arc more important than families for single persons.

D．The five traits arc equally demanded in getting higher friendship satisfaction.

With its snow-covered mountains and a variety of wildlife, Yellow Stone National Park is one of the 25．（10分）scenic treasures of the United States. Located primarily in Wyoming, the park hosts millions of visitors every year. If you plan to travel within the park, keep in mind advice from the National Park Service.

Seasonal Travel

Travel varies vastly from season to season. Roads are generally open in the summer except for cases of rock or mud slides, wild fires, accidents or road construction. Early snows in the fall can cause some roads to close temporarily. In the winter almost all roads are closed to motor vehicles, but snowmobiles and other snow vehicles with tracks are allowed. Roads begin to open for the spring by the latter part of April but can close if snowfall continues.

Driving Time

Grand Loop is the main road through Yellowstone National Park; it passes by most of the major attractions. These include Old Faithful, Yellowstone Lake and the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone. The maximum speed limit on the Grand Loop is 45 miles per hour, but the speed limit drops during some of the winding and twisting sections of this narrow road. Allow yourself at least two days to fully travel the loop due to the size of the park and being sometimes stuck in heavy traffic.

Safety Awareness

Buffalo(水牛)often block the roads in the park as they move through the fields. If a group is traveling across the road you are on, you can either wait for them to pass or find an alternative route. If you get out of your vehicle, the National Park Service says to stay at least 25 yards from any buffalo (and 100 yards or more away from bears and wolves). Buffalo are particularly unpredictable and charge people at speeds up to 30 mph.

You can take your bicycle on any public roads and routes designed for bikes, but bicycles are not allowed on the park roads which are narrow with few shoulders. Altitudes range from 5, 300 to 8, 860 feet. The National Park Service recommends cyclists wear helmets and noticeable clothing. 1、What do we know about travelling in the Yellowstone Park? A．Roads will stay open in case of emergency. B．Traffic jam happens from time to time. C．The driving speed on the road can be 50 mph. D．Motor vehicles are allowed in the winter.

2、What does the National Park Service suggest people do about safety? A．Stay inside the car throughout the travel.

B．Get out of their vehicles when coming across the Buffalo. C．Wear the easy-to-see clothes while bicycling. D．Avoid bicycling on the public roads. 3、From which is the text probably taken? A．A guidebook.

B．A commercial advertisement. C．A research paper. D．A geography textbook.

第二节 书面表达（满分25分） 29、Dear Leslie,

I’m more than delighted to hear that you will come to China for your further study and I hope you can enjoy your stay here.

There are a variety of ways to communicate with others in our daily life, of which WeChat is the most popular one. Nowadays, a good number of Chinese, especially young people, are using WeChat to keep in touch with each other. The reason why I like it best is that it is very fast and convenient to send word files, messages, pictures, or even video programmes. More importantly, it is free to communicate with others on WeChat, which will surely save you a lot of money.

Hopefully my advice will be of some help to you and I’m looking forward to your early arrival. Best wishes! Yours, Li Hua
