But there was one thing I enjoyed: running. It felt like I was soaring(翱翔) through the air. Sadly, this changed when I hurt my knee two years ago. I had to stay in bed for two weeks and even walking a short way was hard for me. I was so upset that I cried as I moved to the car for several days. When therapy(治疗, 疗法) wasn't working well for me, I signed up for a hot yoga class for girls, Bikram Yoga to be exact. Starting a yoga practice was truly a blessing because it helped me gain strength in my knees but, most importantly yoga helped me attain a more peaceful state of mind, body and spirit. Since each class was heated to 105°F, every time I stepped foot in the yoga studio,I'd feel a surge(涌起) of negative thoughts come upon me like a big ocean wave. Some of these thoughts were, in the beginning of my practice, so strong that I walked out of the class several times. However, as the months passed by, I noticed that when I didn't get swayed away(动摇) by my negative thoughts,I could stay in the hot room for longer. After 3-4months of practising hot yoga, my arms and legs were beginning to get definition. I also woke up with so much more energy than I had before starting my yoga practice and I gradually started shedding the pounds(减轻体重) from my body. Yoga literally made me feel as if I'd taken a shot of energy drink and just gave me that burst that helped my knees heal and made my overall health better. As I saw some of my classmates do poses that looked appealing to me,I started to think maybe I could do them too. Therefore, yoga helped show me that I have no real limitations physically unless I set those limitations myself through eating junk and thinking in negative limiting terms. Also, practising yoga in front of a mirror helped me connect with myself and practising with a group of people really helped me to feel a greater sense of connection with humanity whereas before I didn't. Overall, this yoga practice has helped me to see I'm part of a bigger picture in life! 41. What once depressed the author terribly according to Paragraph 1? A. Her inability to walk. B.

C About six years ago I was eating lunch in a restaurant in New York City when a woman and a young boy sat down at the next table. I couldn't help overhearing parts of their conversation. At one point the woman asked, “So,how have you been?” And the boy— who could not have been more than 7 or 8years old —— replied, “Frankly, I’ve been feeling a little depressed lately.” This incident(小事件) stuck in my mind because it confirmed(证实) my growing belief that children are changing. As far as I can remember, my friends and I didn't find out we were“depressed” until we were in high school. The evidence of a change in children has increased steadily in recent years. Children don't seem childlike anymore. Children speak more like adults, dress more like adults and behave more like adults than they used to. Whether this is good or bad is difficult to say, but it is certainly different. Children as they once were no longer exists. Why? Human development is based not only on innate biological states, but also on patterns of access to social knowledge. Movement from one social route to another usually involves learning the secrets of the new status. Children have always been taught adult secrets, but slowly and in stages: traditionally, we tell sixth graders things we keep hidden from fifth graders. In the last 30 years, however, a secret—revelation (揭示) machine has been installed in 98 percent of American homes. It is called television. Television passes information indiscriminately to all viewers alike, be they children or adults. Unable to resist the temptation, many children turn their attention from printed texts to the less challenging, more vivid moving pictures. Communication through print, as a matter of fact, allows for a great deal of control over the social information to which children have access. Reading and writing involve a complex code of symbols that must be memorized and practiced. Children must read simple books before they can read complex materials. 46. According to the author, feeling depressed is . A. a sure sign of a mental problem in children B. a mental state present in all humans, including children C. something that can't be avoided in children's mental development D. something hardly to be expected in a young child 47. Traditionally, a child is supposed to learn about the adult world . A. through connection with society B. gradually and under guidance C. naturally without being taught D. through watching television 48. According to the author, that today's children seem adultlike results from . A. the widespread influence of television B. the poor arrangement of teaching content C. the fast pace of human scientific development D. the rising standard of living 49. What does the author think of communication through print for children? A. It enables children to gain more social information B. It develops children's interest in reading and writing. C. It helps children to read and write well. D. It can control what children are to learn. 50. What does the author think of the change in today's children? A. He feels their adultlike behavior is so funny B. He thinks the change worth our attention C. He considers it a rapid development D. He is extremely upset about it 第Ⅱ卷 非选择题 第三部分：写作(共二节，满分25分。) 第一节：阅读表达(共5 小题；每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读下面短文，按照要求完成阅读任务。 An 89-year-old man has reached a goal he spent 20 years working toward.He earned his doctor degree and became a physicist. Steiner values this degree because it is what he always wanted — and because he overcame health problems that could have interfered with his studies. As a young person in Vienna, Austria, Steiner wanted to become a physicist after reading about Albert Einstein and Max Planck. But after World War Ⅱ, his mother advised him that studying medicine would be a better choice. He earned his medical degree from the University of Vienna in 1955 and moved to the United States soon after. In the U. S., he had a successful career studying blood, became a full professor and led the hematology(血液学) department at Brown's medical school from 1985 to 1994.He helped establish a research program in hematology and directed that program until he retired from medicine in 2000. Steiner found medical research pleasing, but it was not quite the same as his interest in physics. “It was something like a wish that was never fulfilled, that always stuck in the back of my head,” he said. “Once I'm finished with medicine,I really don't want to spend my life just sitting around and maybe doing a little golfing or doing something like that. I wanted to keep active. At age 70, he started taking undergraduate classes at Brown University. He was planning to just take a few classes that interested him. But by 2007, he had earned enough credits to join the doctoral program. Physics professor Brad Marston soon realized how serious Steiner was about the subject and how hard he worked. “He already had a scientific way of thinking that younger students have to develop,” Marston said. “One thing that's really true about Manfred is he perseveres.” After the university published a story about Steiner on its website, people across the U. S. contacted him to ask for advice on how to go after their dreams later in life. He said his advice is: Do what you love to do. 51. Why does Steiner attach great importance to this degree? (no more than 10words) 52. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? (no more than 7 words) 53. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph mean?(no more than 7words) 54. What is Marston's comment on Steiner after he joined the doctoral program?(no more than 10 words) 55. What do you think of Steiner? Please explain.(no more than 20 words) 第二节：书面表达(满分15分) 56.假设你是晨光中学学生李津。作为学校“科普月”系列活动之一，英语社团开展“科学家与我”英文演讲比赛，请根据以下提示撰写一篇演讲稿： (1)激励我的中国科学家：姓名、成就； (2)激励我的科学家精神，举例说明； (3)号召大家共同弘扬科学家精神。 注意： (1) 词数不少于100; (2)可适当加入细节，使内容充实、行文连贯； (3)开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 参考词汇: 弘扬科学家精神 promote the spirit of scientists $$
