They warn that angry feelings can lead to heart disease, stomach problems, headaches, emotional problems and possibly cancer.Anger is a normal emotion that we all feel from time to time. Some people express anger openly in a calm reasonable way. Others burst with anger, losing control of themselves. But other people repress their anger. They cannot or will not express it.For years many doctors thought that repressing anger was more dangerous to a persons health than expressing it. They said that when a person is angry, the brain gives off the same hormones that are produced during tense situations. They speed the heart rate, raise blood pressure, or sugar into the blood and narrow the blood vessels to the interstices（空隙）. In general, the person feels excited and ready to act.Doctors said that repressing these feelings only makes the feelings continue. And this can lead to many medical problems. Doctors thought a person could prevent these problems by letting the anger out by expressing it freely. But recently some doctors held a different view. They said that people who express anger repeatedly and violently did bee, in fact, more and not less angry.They said this, too, can cause medical problems.Some doctors say that both repressing and expressing anger can be dangerous. They believe that those who express anger violently may be more likely to develop heart disease, and they believe that those who keep their anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood pressure.Doctors say the solution is learning how to deal with anger. They say the first step is to admit that you are angry and to recognize the real cause of the anger, and then decide if the cause is serious. If it is, they say: “Do not express your anger while angry. Wait until your anger has cooled down and you are able to express yourself calmly and reasonably.”24. What does the phrase “repress anger” mean?A. Forget ones anger. B. Express ones anger openly.C. Treat ones anger calmly and reasonably D. Keep ones anger inside.25. Repressing anger is considered to be dangerous because of all the following EXCEPT that_.A. the heart rate increases B. the blood pressure risesC. the blood contains sugar D. some blood vessels bee thinner26. When you get angry, which of the following should you do for the good of health? A. Repressing the anger B. Expressing the anger C. Learning how to make a deal. D. Treating the anger properly.27. What is the central topic of this passage about? A. The different ways of dealing with anger. B. The dangers of anger and the solution. C. New medical discoveries. D. The argument between the new and old views about anger.CMy husband and I wanted desperately the instant transformation from typical consumers to eco-conscious people. We switched our light bulbs(灯泡) to CFL (pact fluorescent light) bulbs to conserve energy. We went about the house turning off lights and unplugging appliances （器具）that werent in use. But the rate of global warming exceeded our snails pace conversion(转变) to greenhood. So I pressed onward.I decided to put veganism（素食主义） at the top of our agenda. Vegans refuse any animal flesh or mercial goods made from any animal by products such as milk or fats. All the family applauded this option except for my husband. Some kind of animal needed to sacrifice its dear life for his meal or it was not dinner. I cooked up a storm, struggling to prepare nutritious meals dominated by not-so-obvious vegan dishes like bean burritos(玉米煎饼) and high-fiber vegetable stir-fry(煸炒). It took a few days before he realized that he hadnt been eating any meat.“I feel like eating beef.” he announced. So that night，I took full advantage of a zucchini（一种南瓜）, cut it into chunky（粗大的） pieces and cooked them. Then I covered them with spices. My beef-starved husband had some and a curious look crossed his face.“Where beef?”“Living peacefully somewhere on an open plain where it belongs.”“Iknewit,” he whispered. “Youve surely made great contributions to the boom in cattle.” His taste buds(味蕾) were developed pletely around the flavor of every kind of animal: cattle, pigs, deer, lamb, chickens and ducks. Changing him was like feeding grass to a lion.Im all for preserving our planet, but what good would it do to save the earth for tomorrows generation if todays died of starvation? The next day, we went out for burgers. I was very careful to place the paper bag into our recycling bin.28. Which of the following best explains “exceeded” underlined in Paragraph 1? A. Bound B. Absorbed C. Defeated D. Distributed 29. What do we know about the authors husband from Paragraph2?A. He supported the meat-free diet.B. He was a preserver of animals.C. He played a dominant role in cooking.D. He was regarded as a meat lover.30. What do we know about the author?A. She successfully transformed her husband.B. She had a good sense of humor.C. She advocated raising more cattleD. She had a perfect recipe for cooking meals.31. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Greens or Beef ?B. Discrimination or Appreciation?C. Vegetables or Jewels?D. Hunger or Anger?DNo doubt that you know about Charities. Here it is another chance for you to know more. Difficult times often bring out the best in people. And this was the case for basketball star Yao Ming, who hosted a television show in Shanghai that raised US $300,000 to help researchers find a cure for SARS. Fundraising, or charity, is an act of goodwill towards others. Charities in the West have more flexible ways. Look at a typical day for Ruth, a wealthy woman in the UK, for example. Ruth wakes up in the morning and collects her post. Theres a letter addressed to her with a picture of a half-dead, beaten horse. Its from a charity asking Ruth to donate money to save the animals. The doorbell rings and there, on Ruths doorstep, is an old woman asking for money to help the aged. She turns on the television, hears sad music and sees a picture of a wide-eyed child dying of hunger in Africa with an appeal for money to help the child. Ruth then goes shopping for a dress to wear to that evenings large party for the rich and famous. The ticket cost her a small fortune, but she doesnt mind because most of the money is going to a charity that fights AIDS. She feels good about going because shes helping the sick. Within five minutes of walking down the street, Ruth has passed a charity shop. She doesnt stop because she doesnt think shed find a suitable dress there-its full of old, secondhand clothes. But, many other people enter and buy all sorts of bargains. Edna, a little old lady, looks after the shop. Any profit it has made goes to a cancer charity. Now that she has retired, she has plenty of spare time to offer her services for free.For people like Yao Ming, Ruth and Edna, charity is a virtue that holds the same importance in life as faith and hope. “As you look back on your life, the moments that stand out are the moments when you have done things for others,” said Scottish author Henry Drummond.32. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the story as a way of fundraising?A. Charity party B. Charity post C. Charity TV program. D. Charity for beggars33. We can infer from the passage that_.A. Yao Ming donated US $300,000 to help researchers find a cure for SARSB. Edna may not be a rich lady but she is willing to do something for othersC. Ruth leads a busy life and she feels very tiredD. Ruth is angry because so many people ask her for money every day34. Whats the writers attitude towards charity?A. The writer thinks its something only people like Ruth can afford to do.B. The writer just wants to inform us of the different ways to practice charity.C. The writer thinks its a virtue and admires the people who practice it.D. The writer doesnt make it clear in the story.35. The underlined part in the last paragraph probably means that_.A. when you look back sometimes, you need stand outB. when you want to do something for others, you need stand outC. the moment you stand out, you can do something for othersD. what impresses people deeply is what they have done for others第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Is Technology Making Us Rude?Have you ever been so focused on texting with a friend that you ignored the one sitting right next to you? 36 , but some people think its changing the way we behave, both online and in person.
