However, stepping into the learning zone can help to bring out the best in us. Here are the reasons. 第 5 页 共 8 页 ·Challenging yourself can help you be at your best Stepping outside one's comfort zone is important for personal development. How can we expect to make ourselves better if we only stick to the routine? We should try something we might not succeed in. ·Taking risks is what helps us grow As children, we're natural risk-takers. But as we get older and learn to fear failure, we start trying fewer new things. We pay a heavy price for our fear of failure. There is no learning without any difficulties. ·Facing new challenges can help us grow better Our comfort zone seems to become smaller as we get older — but if we can keep expanding(扩大 ) it, we'll open ourselves up to a greater world as we grow. As we step into the learning zone, we will get more comfortable with the skills gradually and we'll start to move into the comfort zone. A study found that learning new life skills can help our brain stay sharp as we get older. However, don't push yourself too far. Have you heard of "Yerkes-Dodson Law"? It means performance increases as stress grows, but only up to a point. If the level of stress becomes too high, performance will go down. When stress becomes too great for us to deal with, we enter the danger zone. 50.Compared with the comfort zone, people in the learning zone may ________. A. feel less stressed B. make fewer efforts C. face more challenges 51."Yerkes-Dodson Law" can be described by graph ________. A. B.

It is an important traditional Chinese festival with a very long history. It falls on the second day of the second lunar（农历）month every year. It celebrates the start of spring and farming. Ancient people believed that after this day,rainfall increases because the Dragon King has woken up from his winter sleep. A well-known saying goes,"Er yue er, long tai tou," meaning, "On the second day of the second month, the dragon lifts his head." As time goes by, some traditional ways to celebrate it die out, while others persist. The most famous way is getting a haircut. Some believe that having a haircut on this day takes away bad luck.Even today it is a tradition to line up outside the barber's（理发店） on the day of Longtaitou. Another way to celebrate it is through foods.People eat tofu balls which are made of tofu and vegetables in Fujian Province during the festival.Fried beans are the traditional festival food for people in parts of Shandong Province.Eating chengyao cakes during the festival is a tradition in 第 6 页 共 8 页 Suzhou. As the old saying goes，"If you eat chengyao cakes on Longtaitou，your waist（腰）won't hurt all year." People believe after eating these foods, they can get more good luck for their family and the coming year. We all believe Longtaitou will continue to pass on.Without doubt,it is these traditional cultures that make us who we are. 54.The writer starts the passage by _________.

During his stay in China, he saw many wonderful things. One of the things he discovered was that the Chinese used paper money. In Western countries, people did not use paper money until the 15th century. 58 A Chinese man called Cai Lun invented paper almost 2, 000 years ago. He made it from wood. 59 He then put these pieces of paper together and made them into a book. 60 We use a lot of paper every day. If we keep on wasting so much paper, there will not be any trees left on the earth. Every day, people throw away about 2,800 tons of paper. It takes 17 trees to make one ton of paper. This means that we are cutting nearly 48,000 trees every day. Since it takes more than 10 years for a tree to grow, we must start using less paper now. If we don’t, we will not have enough time to grow more trees to take the place of those we use for paper. 61 We can use both sides of every piece of paper, especially when we are making notes. We can choose drinks in bottles instead of those in paper packets. We can also use cotton handkerchiefs and not paper ones. When we go shopping, we can use fewer paper bags. If the shop assistant does give us a paper bag, we can save it and reuse it later. 62 If we all think carefully, we can help protect trees. But we should do it now, before it is too late. Choose five sentences out of the six to complete the passage. Each choice should be used only once. A．Now paper still comes from trees. B．Everyone can help to save paper. C．How can we make paper? D．He took the wood from trees and made it into paper. 第 7 页 共 8 页 E．So how can we save paper? F．However, people in China began to use paper money in the 7th century. 第三节(共 5个小题;每小题 2分，满分 10分) 阅读下面短文，根据其内容填空和回答问题。(63至 66题每题答案不超过 3个单词,67 题须用完整句子回答。) Today more and more building designers are thinking about how to make buildings that are good for the environment.
