Ⅰ.语法单句填空
1.After the earthquake happened, the group of foreign tourists were cut ________ from the outside. Luckily, with the common effort of the guides and the government, they returned safe and sound.

2.The dark colors ________(balance) by the brightness of the walls.
答案:are balanced 考查动词词义。句意:黑色被墙壁的亮光抵消了。balance在此意为“抵消;相等;中和”,与句意相符。

People who eat chocolate regularly tend to be thinner, new research suggests. The findings come from a study of nearly 1,000 US people that looked at diet, calorie intake and body mass index (BMI)—a measure of obesity.
It found those who ate chocolate a few times a week were, on average, slimmer than those who ate it occasionally. Even though chocolate is loaded with calories, it contains components that may favour weight loss rather than fat synthesis (合成), scientists believe.
Despite boosting calorie intake, regular chocolate consumption was related to lower BMI in the study, which is published in Archives of Internal Medicine.
The link remained even when other factors, like how much exercise individuals did, were taken into account. According to the researchers, there is only one chance in 100 that their findings could be explained by chance alone.
Lead author Dr Beatrice Golomb, from the University of California at San Diego, said, “Our findings appear to add to a body of information suggesting that the composition of calories, not just the number of them, matters for determining their impact on weight.”
This is not the first time scientists have suggested that chocolate may be healthy for us. Other studies have claimed chocolate may be good for the heart. Consumption of certain types of chocolate has been linked to some favourable changes in blood pressure, insulin sensitivity and cholesterol level. And chocolate, particularly dark chocolate, does contain antioxidants (抗氧化剂) which can help to wipe away harmful free radicals—unstable chemicals that can damage our cells.
However, while there's no harm in allowing yourself a treat like chocolate now and again, eating too much might be harmful because it often contains a lot of sugar and fat too. And if you are looking to change your diet, you are likely to benefit most from eating more fresh fruit and vegetables.

Forgiveness
To forgive is a virtue, but no one has ever said it is easy. When someone has deeply hurt you, it can be extremely difficult to let go of your hate. However, forgiveness is possible, and it can be surprisingly beneficial to your physical and mental health. People who forgive show less sadness, anger and stress and more hopefulness, according to a recent research.
__1__ Try the following steps:
Calm yourself. __2__ You can take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, or someone you love.
Don't wait for an apology. Many times the person who hurt you does not intend to
apologize. They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don't see things the same way. __3__ Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean becoming friends again with the person who upset you.
Take the control away from your offender(冒犯者). Rethinking about your hurt gives power to the person who caused you pain. Instead of focusing on your wounded feelings, learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness around you.
__4__ If you understand your offender, you may realize that he or she was acting out of unawareness, fear, and even love. You may want to write a letter to yourself from your offender's point of view.
Don't forget to forgive yourself. __5__ But it can rob you of your selfconfidence if you don't do it.
A.Why should you forgive?
B.How should you start to forgive?
C.Recognize the benefits of forgiveness.
D.Try to see things from your offender's angle.
E.For some people, forgiving themselves is the biggest challenge.
F.To make your anger die away, try a simple stressmanagement technique.
G.If you wait for people to apologize, you could be waiting an awfully long time.
答案:1-5 BFGDE
