題目列表(包括答案和解析)
It was New Year’s Night. An aged man was standing at a window. He raised his mournful eyes towards the deep blue sky, where the stars were floating like white lilies on the surface of a clear calm lake. Then he cast them on the earth, where few more hopeless people than himself now moved towards their certain goal --- the tomb. He had already passed sixty of the stages leading to it, and he had brought from his journey nothing but errors and remorse. Now his health was poor, his mind vacant, his heart sorrowful, and his old age short of comforts.
The days of his youth appeared like dreams before him, and he recalled the serious moment when his father placed him at the entrance of the two roads --- one leading to a peaceful, sunny place, covered with flowers, fruits and filled with soft, sweet songs; the other leading to a deep, dark cave, which was endless, where poison flowed instead of water and where devils and poisonous snakes hissed and crawled.
He looked towards the sky and cried painfully, “O youth, return! O my father, place me once more at the entrance to life, and I’ll choose the better way!” But both his father and the days of his youth had passed away.
He saw the lights flowing away in the darkness. These were the days of his wasted life; he saw a star fall down from the sky and disappeared, and this was the symbol of himself. His regret, which was like a sharp arrow, struck deeply into his heart. Then he remembered his friends in his childhood, who entered on life together with him. But they had made their way to success and were now honored and happy on this New Year’s Night.
The clock in the high church tower struck and the sound made him remember his parents’ early love for him. They had taught him and prayed to God for his good. But he chose the wrong way. With shame and grief he dared no longer look towards that heaven where his father lived. His darkened eyes were full of tears, and with a despairing effort, he burst out a cry: “Come back, my early days! Come back!”
And his youth did return, for all this was only a dream which he had on New Year’s Night. He was still young though his faults were real; he had not yet entered the deep, dark cave, and he was still free to walk on the road which leads to the peaceful and sunny land.
Those who still wander on the entrance of life, hesitating to choose the bright road, remember that when years are passed and your feet stumble on the dark mountains, you will cry bitterly, but in vain: “O youth, return! Oh give me back my early days!”

Most of us lead unhealthy lives; we spend far too much time sitting down. If in addition we are careless about our diets, our bodies soon become loose and fatty and our systems slow-moving. There are some aspects(方面)of our unhealthy lives that we cannot avoid. I am thinking of such features of modern city life as pollution, noise, rushed meals and stress. But keeping fit is a way to reduce the effects of these evils. The usual suggestion to a person who is looking for a way to keep fit is to take up some sport or other. While it is true that every weekend you will find people playing football and hockey in the local park, they are outnumbered a hundred to one by the people who are simply watching them.
For those who do not particularly enjoy competitive sports—and it is especially difficult to do so if you are no good at them—there are such separate activities as cycling, walking, jogging and swimming. What often happens though is that you do them un such a leisurely way, so slowly, that it is doubtful if you are doing yourself much good, except for the fact that you have at least managed to get up out of your armchair.
Even after you have found a way for keeping in shape, through sport or gymnastics, you are still only half way to good health, because, according to the experts, you must also master the art of complete mental and physical relaxation(放松). It has to do with deep breathing, emptying your mind of all thoughts, meditation, and so on. Yoga, as practiced in the West is the most widely known and popular of the systems for achieving the necessary state of relaxation. It seems ironical(諷刺的), though, that as our lives have improved in a material sense we have found it increasingly necessary to go back to forms of activity—physical effort on the one hand relaxation on the other—which were the natural way of life of our forefathers.
1. Pollution, noise and stress are examples of ____.
A. causes of unfitness
B. bad features of living in towns
C. the things we can completely do away with
D. unavoidable things in town
2. We don’t get much out of separate sports because we ____.
A. don’t do them very often
B. don’t do them actively enough
C. find it hard to get out of our armchairs
D. don’t find them interesting
3. To be healthy we must ____.
A. keep fit and active
B. keep fit and learn to relax
C. be active and practice Yoga
D. have a sound mind
4. Our forefathers were healthy because ____.
A. their way of life closely connected with both exercise and relaxation
B. they were careful to get plenty of fresh air
C. they spent most of the time out of doors
D. their environment was not polluted
While it is impossible to live completely free of stress,___51___. The US Department of Health and Human Services offers the following suggestions for ways to deal with stress.
Try physical activity
When you are nervous, angry or upset, try releasing the pressure through exercise or physical activity. Running, walking, playing tennis, or working in your garden are just some of the activities you might try. Physical exercise will relieve your anxiety and worry and help you to relax._____ 52_____
Share your stress
It helps to talk to someone about your anxieties and worries. Perhaps a friend, family member, teacher or even your leader can help you a better view of what's troubling you. ____53______Knowing when to ask for help is an important step in avoiding serious problems later.
Take care of yourself
You should make every effort to eat well and get enough rest. If you easily get angry and cannot sleep well enough, or if you're not eating properly, it will be more likely that you will fall into stressful situations. If stress repeatedly keeps you from sleeping, you should consult a doctor. Make time for yourself.
Make a list of the things you need to do
Stress can result from disorganization and a feeling that there's so much to do, and not enough time.______54_______ and as a result, you may not achieve anything. Instead, make a list of everything you have to do, then do one thing at a time, checking off each task as it is completed. Set out to do the most important tasks first.
Go ahead and cry
A good cry can be a healthy way to bring relief to your anxiety.______55_______

Your body and your mind will work together to ease the stress in your life. D. your mind can work better to free you of anxiety E. it is possible to prevent stress as well as reduce its effect when it can't be avoided F.

1. B：作者不是從其他運動，而是從沖浪運動中獲得（get）了無止境的挑戰的體會。再則，前文The feeling I get when I'm surfing across that water，becoming one with the ocean也有暗示。take from減少，降低；get from從……得到；make from由……制造； keep from阻止，隱瞞，抑制。
2. C你永遠也不會是最好的沖浪手，因為大洋呈現、提供（offer）的是任何人都控制不了的、數不盡的、各種各樣的海浪。catch抓住，捕獲；include包括，包含；offer提供；collect收集，聚集。
3. A有些沖浪手自由自在、嫻熟流暢，有些沖浪手則活躍有力、生機勃勃。注意這兩個句子的并列關系，應該特別注意free 和 flowing之間詞義的順承和協調"自由而流暢"，后句的aggressive and__3__也應該是這樣一種意義聯系，故選擇A，sharp可以表示"精明敏捷的，迅速活潑，有力有為"意思，其它三項在意義上與aggressive的順承和協調相距甚遠。
4. D所有的這些都在吸引著我去沖浪，并使之不同于（different）其他運動。注意此段第一句The one thing I can get from surfing and not any other sport is endless challenge.也有所暗示。（be）different from和……不同。（be）far from遠離，遠非；known和right通常不與from搭配。

9. C所以為什么女孩子不能夠肩并肩地與男孩子一起踢足球，外出一起沖浪呢？介詞on表示"在……供職"、"（是）……的成員"，on the football team的意思是"是/成為足球隊隊員"。
10. B給女孩子一個獲得成功（succeed）的機會，讓她們思考（think），感覺（feel）表演（perform），她們就都會有所成就。
