27、lieved but false ideas about being fat and doing exercise. Some people believe that they cant help putting on weight as they get older, while other hold that if they stop exercising, their muscles will turn into fat. Here are some more myths.Ill never lose weight-I come from a fat familyWrong! While

28、 we cant change the body type we are born with, we cant blame our genes for making us fat. Theres plenty of evidence that fatness runs in families, and the main reason is that they share the same habit of eating too much and exercise too little.I am fat because I burn calories slowlyWrong! Fatness i

29、s not caused by a slow metabolism(新陈代谢). In fact, although fat people consume more energy than slim people, they also fail to realize how much they eat!

30、titively. The key is to develop a balanced and varied program thats fun as well as progressive. If you enjoy a Sunday walk, take a different route. If you do yoga, try a tai chi class.

31、t. Indeed, pain is your body telling you somethings wrong, and continuing to exercise could lead to serious injury.

C The idea of being able to walk on water has long interested humans greatly. Sadly, biological facts pre

36、vent us ever accomplishing such a thing without artificial aid-we simply weigh too much, and all our mass pushes down through our relatively small feet, resulting in a lot of pressure that makes us sink. However, several types of animals can walk on water. One of the most interesting is the common b

37、asilisk Basilicus basilicus, a lizard (蜥蜴) native to Central and South America. It can run across water for a distance of several meters, avoiding getting wet by rapidly hitting the waters surface with its feet. The lizard will take as many as 20 steps per second to keep moving forward. For humans t

38、o do this, wed need huge feet that we could bring up to our ears in order to create adequate “ hitting. ” But fortunately there is an alternative: cornflour. By adding enough of this common thickening agent to water (and it does take a lot), you can create a “ non-Newtonian” liquid that doesnt behav

39、e like normal water. Now, if the surface of the water is hit hard enough, particles(微粒) in the water group together for a moment to make the surface hard. Move quickly enough and put enough force into each step, and you really can walk across the surface of an adequately thick liquid of cornflour. F

40、un though all this may sound, its still rather messy and better read about in theory than carried out in practice, if you must do it, then keep the water wings handy in case you start to sink-and take a shower afterward!44. Walking on water hasnt become a reality mainly because humans _ .A. are not

41、interested in it B. have biological limitationsC. have not invented proper tools D. are afraid to make an attempt45. What do we know about Basiilius basilicus from the passage?A.

42、n speed.D. Its unique skin keeps it from getting wet in watch46, What is the function of the cornflour according to the passage?A. To create a thick liquid.B. To turn the water into solid.C. To help the liquid behave normally.D. To enable the water to move rapidly.47. What is the authors attitude to

43、ward the idea of humans walking on water?A, It is risky but beneficial. B. It is interesting and worth trying.C. It is crazy and cannot become a reality. D. It is impractical though theoretically possible. D One moment it was quiet and calm in the forest, the next, the air was charged with tension.

44、The elephant had heard the distant alarm calls of animals and her mood suddenly changed. I urged the elephant deeper into the forest. We sounded like a forest fire-crackling, snapping, trailblazing. But through all the noise came a sharp warning cry. The elephant stopped and we heard it again-the te

45、ll-tale call of a spotted deer. I looked quickly around the shadows of the forest. Rays of sunlight shone through tree branches, beneath which the patchwork (交错) of green plants and shadows-within-shadows would make tiger stripes (条纹) look more attractive. Apart from an occasional noise from the ele

46、phants stomach, the forest was silent. Gradually, the tension slipped from our bodies. The elephant seized a nearby branch and put it into her mouth. I reached forward and gently moved my hand over the elephants neck; there was a soft part, free of wrinkles and hairs, behind her ear. This was my fou

47、rth time to sense the aura of the forest in Corbett, although I saw no tigers in the end. Located at the foot of the Himalayan mountains, Corbett is home to about 135 Bengal tigers, but the forest seemed to be guarding their whereabouts( 出没处), a silent reminder of their secrecy and rarity. Still, I

48、was happy enough touching the elephant behind the ear. If I had so desperately wanted to see a tiger, I could have gone to a zoo. After all, spotting tigers merely confirms their beauty; tracking them can make you aware of something more.48. Which of the following was a clear signal of alarm?A. The

49、elephant stopped. B. A spotted deer called.C. The elephant seized a branch. D. The forest was silent for a while.49. The author begins his account of the tour in the forest mainly by_.A. describing various soundsB. comparing different animalsC. listing different activitiesD. introducing various plan

50、ts50. What does the underlined part “to sense the aura” most probably mean?A. To see the diversity.B. To enjoy the scenery.C. To feel the atmosphere.D. To experience the freedom.51.

51、e-consuming to travel in Corbett.C. It is really worthwhile to study the animals in Corbett.D. The process of finding Bengal tigers is most appealing. E Its generally believed that people act the way they do because of their personalities and attitudes. They recycle their garbage because they care a

52、bout the environment. They pay $5 for a caramel brule latte because they like expensive coffee drinks. Its undeniable that behavior comes from our inner dispositions (性情), but in many instances we also draw inferences about who we are, as suggested by the social psychologist Daryl Bern, by observing

53、 our own behavior. We can be strangers to ourselves. If we knew our own minds, why would we need to guess what our preferences are from our behavior? If our minds were an open book, we would know exactly how much we care about the environment or like lattes. Actually, we often need to look to our be

54、havior to figure out who we are. Moreover, we dont just use our behavior to learn about our particular types of character-we infer characters that werent there before. Our behavior is often shaped by little pressures around us, which we fail to recognize. Maybe we recycle because our wives and neigh

55、bors would disapprove if we didnt. Maybe we buy lattes in order to impress the people around us. We should not mistakenly believe that we always behave as a result of some inner disposition. Whatever pressures there can be or inferences one can make, people become what they do, though it may not be

56、in compliance (符合) with their true desires. Therefore, we should all bear in mind Kurt Vonneguts advice: “ We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be.”52. According to the passage, personalities and attitudes are commonly believed to _.A. determine ones behavior

57、B. reflect ones tasteC. influence ones surroundings D. result from ones habits53. Which of the following would Daryl Bern most probably agree with?A. The return of a wallet can indicate ones honesty.B. A kind person will offer his seat to the old.C. One recycles plastics to protect the environment.D

58、. One buys latte out of true love of coffee.54. What can be inferred from the underlined sentence in the passage?A. We fail to realize our inner dispositions.B. We can be influenced by outside pressures.C. Our behavior is the result of our true desires.D. Our characters can shape our social relation

59、ships. 55. What does the author mainly discuss in the passage?A. Personalities and attitudes.B. Preferences and habits.C. Behavior and personalities.D. Attitudes and preferences.四、写作(共两个写作任务，满分35分) 写作一(满分15分)请结合材料，按要求用英文写作。“ My friend falls, I laugh; my phone falls, I cry. ”要求: (1)就此材料发表你的看法; (2)紧扣材料，有明确的观点; (3)词数不少于60; (4)在答题卡上作答。写作二(满分20分)青少年研究专家Susan Beacham在自己的英文网站上开辟专栏, 邀请大家分享心目中的 “最好礼物”。她认为, 礼物贵在心意，
