Suddenly, your host announces proudly that he will be serving his “house specialty” dessert, bananas flambe and that he has spent the better part of the afternoon preparing it. Even though you are foil and dont even like bananas, you accept a serving of his dessert and eat it all.Clearly, biological factors do not fully explain our eating behavior. Social factors, based on societal rules and on what we have learned about appropriate eating behavior, also play an important role. Take, for example, the simple fact that people customarily eat breakfast, lunch and dinner at approximately the same times every day. Because we tend to eat on schedule every day, we feel hungry as the usual hour approaches.Similarly, we put roughly the same amount of food on our plate every day, even though the amount of exercise we may have had, and consequently our need for energy supply, varies from day to day. We also tend to prefer particular food over others. Rats and dogs may be a delicacy in certain Asian cultures, but few people in Western cultures find them appealing despite their potentially high nutritional value. In sum, cultural influences and our individual habits play important roles in determining when, what, and how much we eat.Other social factors relate to our eating behavior as well. Some of us head toward the refrigerator after a difficult day, seeking fort in a scoop of Heath Bar Crunch ice cream. Perhaps when we were children, our parents gave us food when we were upset. Eventually, we may have learned to associate food with fort. Similarly, we may learn that eating, which focuses our attention on immediate pleasures, provides an escape from unpleasant thoughts. Consequently,we may eat when we feel upset and anxious.21. What causes you to accept the hosts dessert offer at the end of the meal?A. Your hunger. B. The hosts pride.C. The pleasant taste. D. Social politeness.22. The author explains the factors in eating mainly by .A. making a parison. B. using examples.C. analyzing the data. D. undertaking a survey.23. Which of the following might be the best title for the text?A. Social Factors in Eating. B. Causes of Hunger.C. Table Manners at Meals. D. Cultural Differences in Eating. BMeditation has been around for thousands of years, starting as a religious practice. Hindu(印度教)holy books from around 1500 BC describe meditating on the divine (神)，and art from this time period shows people sitting cross-legged and alone in a garden. In China and India around the fifth century BC, other forms of mediation developed. Several religions, including Taoism, Buddhism, Islam, and Christianity, had meditative ceremonies. In 20th-century Europe and America, secular meditation arrived from India. Rather than focusing on spiritual growth, it emphasizes stress reduction, relaxation, and self-improvement.Although it still isnt exactly mainstream, many people practice meditation. Mindfulness meditation, in particular, has bee more popular in recent years. The practice involves sitting fortably, focusing on ones breathing, and bringing the minds attention to the present. Concerns about the past or future are let go of. An individual can picture worries popping like a bubble or flying away like a butterfly.Mindfulness is about increasing awareness and practicing acceptance. To be present is to have sharpened attention. According to the Mayo Clinic, "Meditation can give you a sense of calm, peace and balance that benefits your emotional well-being."Among the emotional benefits are reducing negative emotions, increased self-awareness, and stress management skills. Asthma, depression, and sleep disorders are all conditions worsened by stress. Several studies have shown that patients with these conditions benefit from meditation.Dr. Robert Schneider, director of the Institute for Natural Medicine and Prevention, says, "I have been researching effects of meditation on health for thirty years and have found it has persuasive benefits. The benefits of meditation are ing to be widely accepted by health professionals business leaders and the media. It is now time for the medical profession to catch up."24. The underlined word “secular” in paragraph 1 most nearly means .A. non-religious. B. non-traditional. C. serious. D. daily.25. When you are deep in meditation, you will .A. feel tired very soonB.have sleep disordersC. sense calm and peaceD. experience more negative emotions26. What is the main idea of the text?A. Ones mental health is supposed to e first in life.B. Medicine is no more effective than meditation for patients.C. Mindfulness meditation helps practitioners focus on mental health.D. Mindfulness meditation is getting more accepted due to its benefits. CMum always awoke early. When she was working as an actress she thought: Sooner or later they will realize their mistake and will send me home. To get rid of that fear, she would get up before “they” did,to go over her lines. In order to look perfect on the set, fresh,without a single negative thought that might ruffle her smile, she had to arise between four and five in the morning and gather her strength.Mum, like any wise family doctor, believed in the virtues of a good breakfast. She never skipped it. She knew how to be persuasive and from the time I was a little boy she would cut slices of buttered bread-she called them “fingers”-for dipping in soft-boiled eggs. However, what left an impression about her breakfast went beyond those toasted rectangles of bread.During the last years of her life, this morning interlude was also a time for confidences. If my brother and I were at her Swiss home, breakfast would be in the kitchens office. She would e downstairs in her robe, and while having a cake and a cup of coffee, almost unconsciously, small talk would turn into a confession (忏悔).One day she uneasily told me about the painful circumstances of her separation from my father. I learned to know her better at the breakfast table.But it was not always a time for discussion. Returning from a trip, or on a Sunday,she would honor the day of rest with a small luxury, something unusual for her:breakfast in bed. It was like a prize she awarded herself, and it was enjoyed all the more if the tray were filled with tidbits, such as homemade cake or cherry jam, along with toast, coffee, milk, butter, a small from the garden in a tiny vase, and on the side of her tray the International Herald Tribune . 27.

She had a poor relationship with her colleagues.D. She was good at reciting film lines.28. In what sense did the mothers breakfast go beyond those toasted rectangles of bread?A. Many more delicious foods were prepared by her mother.B. It removed the misunderstanding between the mother and the sonC. It led the author to have a deeper understanding of her mother.D. It helped the authors mother solve her marriage problems.29. The underlined word “luxury” in the last paragraph most likely refers toA. the feeling of self-respectB. the enjoyment of something specialC.the desire of expressing your thanksD. the pleasure of having something expensive30. What is the authors purpose in writing the text?A. To present the benefits of eating breakfast.B. To introduce how to prepare breakfast.C.To show his sympathy for his mothers marriage.D.To share fond memories of his mothers breakfast.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）How to say sorry and really mean it? 31 In fact, a study found that effective apologies are those that were accepted by the offended party and allowed both parties to move on with no unpleasantness. Here are a few key tips.Wait, never hurry to apologizeDid you turn things around royally? 32 "Sometimes an immediate apology is called for," says Antony Manstead, a professor of psychology at Cardiff University in Wales."But if the other party is angry at your previous wrong doing, it may be more effective to wait because their anger may prevent them from being receptive to an apology." 33 Explain, dont excuseBecause admitting to being wrong is painful and can make people worried that theyre a bad person, they often water down their apology with excuses. For example, “I certainly apologize if I offended anyone” and “Im very sorry,but in my defense ,you started it.”34 Giner-Sorolia says, “It uses the form of an apology-Im sorry- but follows it up by shifting responsibility to the offended person, implying he or she is too sensitive. "Dont imply that the other person is wrong to feci upset or angry," adds Mara Olekalns, a professor at Melbourne Business School.Let your body do the talkingExperts agree that face-to-face apologies beat phoned-in, e-mailed, or handwritten ones. “Facial expressions, posture, and the tone of voice have all been shown to be important channels that convey sincerity when you express regret,” Giner-Sorolla says. “Anyone can type” “I feel really ashamed, but if you say it live, its obvious whether or not you mean it.A phone call is second best: Youll convey emotions with your voice and get instant feedback. E-mailed apologies arent perfect. They lack emotional connections. 35 “A victim can abuse written apologies and do harm to the apologizer.” Mullet says.A. A little cool-off time could help. B. That sort of apology has a name-a nonapology.C. Is there more to saying sorry than just saying "sorry"?D. Tliere is nothing worse in these situations than sincere apologies.E. Once youve typed them, the receivers can forward them to anyone.F. Being a victim does not automatically transform a person into a good person.G. Therefore, the best time to apologize is when one feels ready to sincerely apologize.第三部分:语言运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节:完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）After Steward and Debbie Wilder lost their 17-year-old son, Cameron, who died in xx, the last thing on their minds was 36 for the holiday season.

As the young man unlocked the house door, he noticed an old woman standing at the bus stop. He knew the bus wouldnt be there within at least half an hour, so he invited her inside to keep warm.

It is my tablecloth.” she told the surprised man its history and even showed him her name in one corner of the tablecloth. She and her husband had once lived in Vienna, Austria, and their village was hit by a deadly disease.

A few days later, it was reported that the bus her husband took fell off the cliff and he was never to be found. Her husband was believed to have died. Touche by her story, the young man asked about her address, planning to send the tablecloth to her after Christmas. As the bus came, she left.
