When I was reading some papers in my office that day, a patient came to see me about the stress in her life. She 21  all the things she had to do -one was to 22 -from the moment she woke up until she flew out of the door for work. I suggested she 23 by not making her bed for two weeks. She was 24 , probably thinking I’d been raised by wolves in a forest. However, she went along with my 25 .
Two weeks later she went into my office ,26 . She had left her bed 27  for the first time in 30 years-and nothing bad had happened. “And guess what?” she said. “I don’t dry my dishes anymore, either.”
This woman had made two major breakthroughs. One was discovering that she had 28  in her life that she had never seen before. The other was giving herself 29  to be less that 30 . This story shows an important principle (原理) about 31  time: No one can do it all. Each of us has to make choices and accept trade-offs. The 32 is, many people choose in ways that put 33  and their health last. They take better care of their houses and cars than they do of themselves. They put everyone else’s needs ahead of their own.
So what is the 34  ? There’s an easy way. Decide what you want in your life, and put that first. On a daily basis, that should 35 regular meals, enough sleep and time with your family. Exercise, leisure, friendships and hobbies should also be 36  parts of life. The 37  is to do something for yourself every day. The choice is yours: whatever makes you feel 38 about yourself and your life. Take a nap. Take a walk. Take time to play the piano. Stop bringing your briefcase home from the office. Stop keeping your house as 39 as your mother kept hers. 40  more of your time with  want – to – dos instead of have – to – dos.

第一节 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、和D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
Grandfather was from Italy and was the only one in his family who settled down in the United States. The rest of his family remained in Europe. When World War I broke out, he seemed to have become another man, downhearted. Such obvious change was not born out of his welfare, but out of fear: if his only son, my uncle, had to go to war, it would be cousin fighting against cousin. 
One day in 1918, my Uncle Milton received his draft notice. My grandparents were very upset. But my mother, at the age of 10, felt on top of the world about her soldier brother going off to war. Realizing how he was regarded by his little sister and all of her friends, my uncle brought them all service pins, which meant that they had a loved one in the service. All the little girls were delighted. 
Then the moment came when my uncle and the other soldiers, without any training but all in uniforms, boarded the train. The band played and the crowd cheered. Although no one noticed, I’m sure my grandmother had a tear in her eyes for the only son. The train slowly pulled out, but not about a thousand yards when it suddenly paused. Everyone stared in wonder as the train slowly returned to the station. There was a dead silence before the doors opened and the men started to step out. Someone shouted,“The war is over”. For a moment, nobody moved, but then the people heard someone bark orders at the soldiers. The men lined up in two lines, walked down the steps, and with the band playing, marched down the street, as returning heroes, to be welcomed home. My mother said it was a great day, but she was just a little disappointed that it didn’t last a tiny bit longer. 
41. My grandfather most worried about         
A. the spread of the world war            B. the safety of his living two cousins
C. a drop in his living standards          D. his relatives killing each other
42. The underlined phrase “draft notice” means “        “
A. a letter of rejection                  B. a train ticket for Europe
C. an order for army service      D. a note of warning
43. What did the “service pins”(in Para. 2)stand for in the eyes of the little girls?
A. Honor   B. Courage.   C. Victory.   D. Strength.
44. Which of the following words can best describe the ending of the story?
A. Disappointing.  B. Inspiring   C. Uncertain.  D. Unexpected.

阅读下面短文,从每题所给的四个选项中,选择出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。A
He has lived through various dangers but time may be running out for the Palestinian leader, Yasser Arafat.
On September 11, Israel announced its decision to remove him, following several Palestinian suicide bomb attacks on Israel. “He should be punished for the killings,” an Israeli official said, “He has done nothing to stop the terrorist groups.”
But the decision has angered many other countries. China said that Arafat is the true leader, elected by the Palestinian people, and removing him would harm the peace in the Middle East. Other governments share this idea.
Arafat himself said: “They can kill me, but never get me out of my country.” He has spent most of his life in danger as the most important aim of Israel. But, just like a cat with nine lives, Arafat escaped every time.
For years he has made a practice of sleeping in a different bed each night, thinking a moving person is harder to hit. In 1985, Israel sent fighter planes to kill Arafat. The wild bombing destroyed his office in Tunis but Arafat himself was unhurt. In 1992, the aircraft in which he was flying over North Africa broke in two during a crash landing. The pilot was killed but he managed to remain alive.
What is so unbelievable is that he always remains calm in great danger.
Israeli tanks and planes attacked his office building in Ram Allah in December 2001. When they saw the attackers coming, Arafat’s bodyguards ignored his orders to stay still and carried him to safety underground. Seconds later, several bombs were dropped nearby. Though safe, his bodyguards were so frightened that they were wet in sweat.
But, Arafat, with Israeli tanks only 200 meters away, showed no fear at all. He stayed in the damaged office, talking by phone with foreign leaders in hope of preventing further attacks from Israel.
All these experiences have made him a beloved leader to his people and an enemy to some others.
But has he used up the last of his nine lives? Only time will tell.
41.  Which of the following statements cannot be used to describe Arafat?
A.He went to visit a few foreign countries last year.
B.He is not afraid of death in face of his enemy.
C.His office used to be in Tunis.
D.He remained alive during an air crash in 1992.
42.  According to the passage, which statement is true?
A.In 1992, Arafat’s plane crashed in South Africa.
B.Israeli officers thought Arafat himself sent the terrorist groups to Israel.
C.China is the only country against Israel’s decision of removing Arafat.
D.Being Palestinian leader, Arafat would rather die in his own country than be driven away from his people.
43.  What did the author mean by saying “just like a cat has nine lives” when he talked about Arafat?
A.Arafat is as clever as a cat.
B.Arafat can live as long as a cat.
C.Arafat can stay alive after accidents or disasters as if he has nine lives.
D.Arafat should have died for at least 8 times.
44.  The underlined word “ignore” can be replaced by __________.
A.obey the instructions       B.take no notice of
C.pay much attention to     D.give out orders
45.  What’s the writer’s attitude towards Arafat’s future, judging from the last sentence of the passage?
A.Hopeful.   B.Interesting.      C.Satisfactory.     D.Doubtful.

Like most people, I was brought up to look upon life as a getting. It was not until in my later thirties that I made this important discovery: giving-away makes life so much more exciting. One discovery I made about giving away is that it is almost impossible to give away anything in this world without getting something back, though the return often comes in an unexpected form. One Sunday morning the local post office delivered a letter to my home, though it was addressed to me at my office. I wrote the postmaster a note of appreciation. More than a year later I needed a post office box for4 a new business I was starting. I was told at the window that there were boxes left, and that my name would have to go on a long waiting list. As I was about to leave, the postmaster appeared in the doorway. He had overheard our conversation.“Wasn’t it you that wrote us a letter a year ago about delivering a special delivery to your home?”I said it was.“Well, you certainly are going to have a box in this post office if you have to make one for you.

On Nov. 18, 1995, Itzhak Perlman, the violinist, came on stage to give a concert at Avery Fisher Hall at Lincoln Center in New York City.
If you have ever been to a Perlman concert, you know that getting on stage is no small achievement for him. He was stricken with polio(小儿麻痹症) as a child, and so he has braces(支架) on both legs and walks with the aid of two crutches(双拐).
He walks painfully, yet majestically, until he reaches his chair. Then he sits down, slowly, puts his crutches on the floor, undoes the clasps on his legs, tucks one foot back and extends the other foot forward. Then he bends down and picks up the violin, puts it under his chin, nods to the conductor and proceeds to play.
But this time, something went wrong. Just as he finished the first few bars(小节), one of the strings on his violin broke. You could hear it snap(嘣断)——it went off like gunfire across the room. There was no mistaking what that meant. There was no mistaking what he had to do.
We figured that he would have to get up, put on the clasps again, pick up the crutches and limp his way off stage——to either find another violin or else find another string for this one. But he didn’t. Instead, he waited a moment, closed his eyes and then signaled the conductor to begin again.
The orchestra began, and he played from where he had left off. And he played with such passion and such power and such purity as they had never heard before.
When he finished, there was an awesome silence in the room. And then people rose and cheered. He smiled, wiped the sweat from this brow, raised his bow to quiet us, and then he said in a quiet tone, “You know, sometimes it is the artist’s task to find out how much music you can still make with what you have left.”
51.  By saying “getting on stage is no small achievement for him”, the author really means ______.
A.it’s very difficult for Itzhak Perlman to play the violin with three strings
B.it’s not easy for Itzhak Perlman to get on the stage because he is disabled
C.it’s not easy for Itzhak Perlman to face such a large audience
D.it’s really great achievements for Itzhak Perlman to play the violin with three strings
52.  When one of the strings broke, people thought Itzhak Perlman would __________.
A.go on playing with the remaining three strings   B.give up playing
C.change or repair his violin            D.get off the stage with shame
53.  Itzhak Perlman ___________ when one of the strings of the violin broke.
A.gave up playing
B.didn’t know what to do
C.went on playing the same piece of music
D.went on playing a different piece of music
54.  What did the audience feel when Itzhak Perlman finished playing?
A.Surprised  B.Disappointed    C.Moved      D.Satisfied
55.  Itzhak Perlman can be best described as a man who is ____________.
A.clever       B.strong willed     C.humourous    D.quite skilled
