One day the topic turned to saying “I love you”. I was shocked to learn that no one of my students had said this to their mothers, nor had their mothers said it to them. “Does your mom love you?” “Of course,” they answered. “How do you know?” was my logical question. They answered that their moms cooked and always told them what they were doing wrong to show their caring. I was surprised. “So mom’s cooking and criticizing read out as ‘I love you’? Then how do you say ‘I love you’ to her?” They agreed that getting good grades, followed by good jobs would be how they showed their love. I come from a country where most people are expressive enough, so I repeated these questions in classes over time. Gradually, I began to get different response. Some of them had exchanged those feelings with their moms. One of my favorite stories of change came from a girl. When she came home from university, her mother met her at the door and hugged (拥抱) her. This had never happened before, but her mom said, “Now that you have gone, I have more time to myself. I noticed that in some places mothers and children hug each other and I decided it was a good idea and that I would begin hugging you.” 3 In my family we all say “I love you” a lot. While it is true that we often say the words without having great depth (深度) of feelings at that moment, it is almost like a blessing (祝福语) we give each other. Those three little words carry a world of meaning, even when said as a greeting, but most especially if they are the last words we say to or hear from those we love. 16. Chinese people prefer to show love by________. A. buying gifts B. hugging each other C. saying “I love you” D. doing something meaningful 17. In paragraph 4, what’s the real meaning of the mom’s hugging? A. She loves her daughter and misses her. B. She is meeting her daughter at the door. C. She finds it interesting to hug her daughter. D. She is glad that she has more time to herself. 18. What’s the main idea of the passage? A. Say “I love you” more to your family. B. Say “I love you” as a greeting to others. C. Say “I love you” a lot to Chinese people. D. Say “I love you” without great depth of feelings. B Happiness is important for everyone. Most people want to be happy but few know how to find happiness. Money and success don’t bring long-lasting happiness. Happiness depends on ourselves. In other words, we make our own happiness. Some people believe that if they are wealthy, with the money they will be able to do anything they want, which means happiness. On the other hand, some people believe that holding a high position in the government is happiness. In this way, you have not only money, but also many other things which can’t be bought by money. However, other people believe that having lots of money is not happiness, nor is holding a high position in the government. These people value (重 视) their beliefs, or their intelligence, or their health. They think these can make them happy. Here are a few ways to help you be happier. The first secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life. Too often, we spend so much time thinking about the future, for example, getting into college or getting a good job that 4 we don’t enjoy the present. You should enjoy life’s simple pleasures, such as reading a good book, listening to your favorite music, or spending time with close friends. People who have close friends usually enjoy happier and healthier lives. The second secret of happiness is to be active. Many people go dancing or play sports. People can forget about their problems and only think about the activities. Finally, many people find happiness in helping others. According to studies, people feel good when they volunteer their time to do many meaningful things for other people. If you want to feel happier, do something nice for someone. You can help a friend with his or her studies, go shopping to get food for an old neighbor, or simply help around the house. Now maybe you know how to find happiness! 19. Some people who hold a high position in the government think they can ______. A. do what they want to do at any time B. enjoy health which makes them work hard C. take an active part in all kinds of activities every day D. get money and something they can’t buy with money 20. The writer thinks the secret of happiness is that people ___________. A. think about getting money B. think about getting a good job C. often spend time with close friends D. often spend time thinking about the future 21. Many people find it happy to ___________. A. do some meaningful things for others B. make much money and little success C. remember the old days and troubles D. go shopping to buy some food 22. The passage mainly tells us __________. A. how to have a bright future B. how to find happiness C. to do something good for others D. to value our beliefs or health C Rome—Doctors and medical groups around the world last weekend reacted with strong opposition to the news that an Italian specialist is on the brink of cloning the first human baby. Dr. Severino Antinori, who is the head of a hospital in Rome, has been referred to in an Arab newspaper as claiming that one of his patients is eight weeks pregnant（怀孕）with a cloned baby. Antinori refused to comment on the reports, but in March 2001 he said he hoped to produce a 5 cloned embryo（卵）for implantation within two years. So far seven different kinds of mammals have already successfully cloned, including sheep, cats and most recently rabbits. Doctors showed their doubt and were strongly opposed although they admit that human cloning would finally come true unless there was a world wide ban on the practice. Professor Rudolf Jaenisch of the Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology：“I find it astonishing that people do this where the result can be foretold that it will not be a normal baby. It is using humans as guinea pigs. It makes people feel sick.” But Ronald Green, director of the Ethics Institute at Darmouth College in the US, said it is unlikely that an eight-week-old pregnancy would lead to a birth. So far all cloned animals have suffered from some different serious disorders, many of them dying soon after their births. Doctors are opposed to human cloning because they are worried about the welfare of the cloned child if there is one. “There are no benefits of cloned human beings, just harm,”said Dr .Michael Wilks of the UK. 23. What is the doctors’ general attitude to cloning of humans according to the passage? A. They are against it B. They support it C. They welcome it D. They pay no attention to it. 24. What does the underlined word“ban”in the third paragraph mean most probably? A. order that forbids cloning B. suggestion to carrying on cloning C. anger at cloning D. cheer for cloning 25. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage? A. Dcotor Severino Antinori is strongly opposed to cloning human beings. B. Up to now, seven kinds of animals have been cloned, including sheep, cats humans and rabbits. C. Professor Rudolf Jaenisch is carrying on an experiment on cloning an eight-week-old embryo. D. Ronald Green doubts about the future successful birth of the so-called cloned embryo. 26. Which is the best title for the passage? A. The Success of Cloning Humans B. The Anger at Cloning Humans 6 C. Failure of Cloning Humans D. First Cloned Human? D While it is impossible to live completely free of stress, it is possible to prevent stress as well as reduce its effect when it can’t be avoided. The US Department of Health and Human Services offers the following suggestions for ways to deal with stress. Try physical activity When you are nervous, angry or upset, try releasing the pressure through exercise or physical activity. Running, walking, playing tennis, or working in your garden are just some of the activities you might try. Physical exercise will relieve your anxiety and worry and help you to relax. Your body and your mind will work together to ease the stress in your life. Share your stress It helps to talk to someone about your anxieties and worries .Perhaps a friend, family member, teacher or even your leader can help you a better view of what’s troubling you. If you feel your problem is serious, you might seek professional help from a psychologist or a doctor. Knowing when to ask for help is an important step in avoiding serious problems later. Take care of yourself You should make every effort to eat well and get enough rest. If you easily get angry and cannot sleep well enough, or if you’re not eating properly, it will be more likely that you will fall into stressful situations. If stress repeatedly keeps you from sleeping, you should consult a doctor. Make time for yourself Schedule time for both work and entertainment. Don’t forget, play can be just as important to you over-all well-being as work. You need a break from your daily routine to just relax and have fun. Go window-shopping or work on a hobby Allow yourself at least a half hour each day to do something you enjoy. Make a list of the things you need to do Stress can result from disorganization and a feeling that “there’s so much to do, and not enough time”.Trying to take care of everything at once can be too much for you and as a result, you may not achieve anything. Instead, make a list of everything you have to do, then do one thing at a time, checking off each task as it is completed. Set out to do the most important tasks first. Go ahead and cry 7 A good cry can be a healthy way to bring relief to your anxiety. It might even help you avoid a headache or other physical effect of anxiety and stress. 27. What is most probably the writer’s purpose in writing the article? A. To release his or her wrong pressure. B. To help solve the universal problem of stress. C. To reduce his or her anxiety. D. To have more people cry out. 28. Physical activity can help people release stress in that . A. only your body movement can help you relax B. your mind can work better to free you of anxiety C. your body and mind can cooperate in releasing stress D. physics can always play an important part in reducing nervousness 29. What is similarity between“Share your stress”and“Go ahead and cry”? A. They both help you let out your feelings B. They both need physical movement. C. They both require mental relaxation D. They can help you live an orderly life. 30. The sentence “Trying to take care of everything at once can be too much for you and as a result, you may not achieve anything.” is close to the meaning of “ ”. A. Strike the iron while it is hot. B. More hurry, less speed. C. Practice makes perfect. D. Quietness wins time. 三、完形填空（共 20 小题；每小题 1 分，满分 20 分） A lady wanted a birthday gift from her husband.
