We chose the first. Up early, my husband and I and our three children couldnt wait to get started. We decided to walk along a lovely path named Bright Angel Trail. As we started out, I was surprised at how narrow the path was. And I couldnt help noticing that the other tourists werent like us. They had heavy backpacks, water bottles, and hats. But as usual we were dressed. As the sun rose higher, Arizonas famous heat seemed to roast us. There was no shade and our legs were aching. We decided to go back, with the girl on my back and the boys far behind. By the time we finally got back, our legs were like jelly.The next day, after wed had a long rest and a good breakfast, we were ready for another view of the Canyonby air. After our last walk, this would be the easiest thing in the world.We called to each other excitedly as the plane took off and circled around the Canyon. But the smiles on our faces disappeared as the pilot tossed(翻转) the plane around, pretending he was going to hit the ground. I shouted, “STOP, TAKE US BACK!” When we finally arrived back on land, once again our legs were like jelly. We hardly spoke as we drove back.As I said, there are three ways to view the Grand Canyon. We never tried the mules, but personally Id suggest a fourth: buy yourself a good magazine like National Geographic. That way, you can see the Canyon, without fear or tiredness.24. Which of the following is TRUE according to the second paragraph?A. Bright Angel Trail was not as lovely as they expected.B. The children were more joyful than their parents.C. They made a careful preparation before the trip.D. The summer heat prevented them from enjoying the view.25. The underlined expression “our legs were like jelly” probably means _.A. we were dissatisfiedB. we were unhappy C. we were weak D. we were disappointed26. Which of the following best describes their Canyon trip by air?A. It made each of them tired. B. It was more fortable.C. It turned out to be exciting. D. It proved to be frightening.27. We can infer from the passage that _.A. experiencing the Canyon on mules would be the best wayB. the writer was not serious when she made the suggestionC. one needs to dress less when visiting the Grand CanyonD. the whole family narrowly escaped from the air accidentC A new research has discovered that meditation(冥想) and oxygen sport together reduce depression(抑郁). The Rutgers University study found that this mind and body bination, done twice a week for only two months, reduced the symptoms of a group of students by 40 percent.“We are excited by the findings because we saw such a meaningful improvement in both clinically(临床上地) depressed and non-depressed students,” said lead author Dr. Brandon Alderman. “It is the first time that both of these two behavioral ways have been looked at together for dealing with depression.”Researchers believe the two activities have an interactive(相互的) effect in bating depression. Alderman and Dr. Tracey Shors discovered that a bination of mental and physical training enabled students with major depressive disorder not to let problems or negative thoughts defeat them.Rutgers researchers say those who participated in the study began with 30 minutes of focused attention meditation followed by 30 minutes of oxygen sport. They were told that if their thoughts drifted to the past or the future they should refocus on their breathing, which enabled those with depression to accept moment-to-moment changes in attention.Shors, who studies the production of new brain cells(细胞) in the hippocampuspart of the brain involved in memory and learningsays scientists have shown in animal models that oxygen sport exercise keeps a large number of certain cells alive.The idea for the human intervention(干预) came from her laboratory studies, she says, with the main goal of helping individuals acquire new skills so that they can learn to recover from stressful life events.By learning to focus their attention and exercise, people who are fighting depression can acquire new learning skills that can help them process information and reduce the overwhelming recollection of memories from the past, Shors says.“We know these treatments can be practiced over a lifetime and that they will be affective in improving mental health,” said Alderman. “The good news is that this intervention can be practiced by anyone at any time and at no cost.”28. What made the research so different?A. Adopting a way of meaningful talk.B. bining the two ways to reduce depression.C. Treating depression with special medicine.D. paring the depressed with the non-depressed.29. The underlined word “bating” in Paragraph 3 can be replaced by _.A. fighting B. identifying C. distinguishing D. examining30. What can we know about what the participants did in the research?A. They did oxygen sport half an hour before thinking.B. They thought quietly and then took exercise.C. They took exercise longer than they thought. D. They took exercise while thinking quietly.31. What is Shors main purpose of her studies?A. To find out certain brain cells of humans. B. To study the production of new brain cells.C. To offer people a new method to reduce stress. D. To decide the links between stress and exercise.DHave you ever noticed what happens to an idea once you express it? Just talking about it or writing it down causes you to make it clear in your own mind. How can you use this to increase your brain power? Start writing.By putting thoughts into words, you are telling yourself the logic behind what you think, feel, or only partly understand. Often, explaining a thought is the process of understanding. In other words, you increase your brain power by exercising your “explain power.”Try this experiment. Explain how youll increase your brain power, even if you have no idea right now. Just start with anything, and create an explanation. For example, start with “Ill learn chess,” or “Ill read an article on the mind every week.” Explain how that will help. Youll be surprised how often this bees a workable plan, and if you actually do this, youll have a better understanding of your brain from now.Another benefit of writing is that it helps you remember. Many, if not most, highly productive people are always taking notes. You can try keeping it all in your head, but if you keep a journal of your ideas the next time youre working on a big project, youll probably have more success.Want to understand a topic? Write a book about it. Thats an extreme example, but if you are learning something new, write a letter to a friend about it, and you will understand it better. Want to invent something? Write an explanation of the problem, why you want to solve it, and why it is worth solving, and youre half-way there.Writers dont always write because they clearly understand something beforehand. Often, they write about something because they want to understand it. You can do the same. Writing will help bring you to an understanding. Give it a try.32. What would be the best title for the text?A. A Way on How to Write.B. Increase Your Brain Power through Writing.C. How to Start Your Writing.D. Brain Power Helps Improve Your Writing.33. According to the text, writing can help you a lot in the following ways EXCEPT _.A. the increase of your brain powerB. the ability to rememberC. the development of your interest in studyD. the better understanding of a topic34. The underlined sentence “youre half-way there” in the fifth paragraph implies that _.A. you are already successful B. you still need to work hardC. writing can help you walk half way D. You have been on the way to success35. Whats the main purpose of the writer writing the text?A. To advise readers to start their writing. B. To explain the importance of writing.C. To persuade readers to bee writers. D. To increase readers brain power.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。Like it or not, there will be difficult times in our lives. You might lose your job, fail in your exams or have an illness. _36_ Here are some ways not to lose hope during difficult times. 1. Have faith. _37_ No matter how bad the situation is, things will turn out to be good in the end. Several years ago I failed to get my masters degree. It was a really bad experience. _38_ It was of much better quality than my previous university. Experiences like this strengthen my belief that having faith is important during difficult times. 2.

You need a group of positive people who can support you. _39_ If you dont, my suggestion is to start looking for one. Dont wait until you need it, because it will be too late by then. You need the munity before difficult times e. 3. Help others. An additional benefit of being in a good munity is that it encourages you to think about other people. It pushes you to help others and, therefore, think about other people. _40_ As a result, your situation wont look as bad as it would be otherwise. Often the situation looks worse than it really is because we give too much attention. Shifting some of your attention away will put the situation in a better view. A. Your munity helps a lot. B.
