Usually, people think that chocolate is bad for their health. They describe chocolate as “something to die for” or say “death by chocolate”. Now they should bite their tongues! Evidence is showing that some kinds of chocolate are actually good for you in the following ways:‎ A happier heart ‎ Scientists at Harvard University recently examined 136 studies on cocoa — the main ingredient in chocolate — and found that it does seem to strengthen the heart. Studies have shown heart benefits from increased blood flow. These benefits are the result of cocoa’s chemicals, which seem to prevent both cell damage and inflammation(炎症）.‎ Better blood pressure ‎ If yours is high, chocolate may help. Jeffrey Blumberg from Tufts University recently found that people with high blood pressure who ate 3.5 ounces of dark chocolate per day for two weeks saw their blood pressure drop quickly.‎ Muscle magic ‎ Chocolate milk may help you recover after a hard workout（锻炼）. In a small study at Indiana University, people who drank chocolate milk between workouts did better on a tiredness test than those who had some sports drinks.‎ Better for your skin ‎ German researchers gave 24 women a half-cup of special cocoa every day. After three months, the women’s skin was moister (滑润的) and smoother. The research shows that chocolate helps protect and increase blood flow to the skin, improving its appearance.‎ Brain gains ‎ It sounds almost too good to be true, but research suggests that chocolate may improve your memory, attention span, reaction time, and problem-solving skills by increasing blood flow to the brain. ‎ ‎21. What’s the meaning of “bite their tongues” in the first paragraph？‎ A. Stop talking. B. Speak up. C. Think of it. D. Listen to it.‎ ‎22. What can’t we get from chocolate according to the text?‎ ‎ A. A healthy heart. B. A beautiful figure. C. A good memory. D. Smooth skin. ‎ ‎23. According to the passage, which of the following is true?‎ ‎ A. Sports drinks are better than chocolate milk.‎ ‎ B. People with high blood pressure should not eat chocolate.‎ ‎ C. It is true that chocolate may improve your memory.‎ ‎ D. Chocolate helps increase blood flow to the skin and muscle. ‎ ‎24. What’s the best title for this passage?‎ ‎ A. Chocolate and Blood Pressure. B. More Chocolate, Less Health.‎ ‎ C. Chocolate, a Healthy Food. D. Advice on Eating Chocolate. ‎ ‎ B Many people like flying, but flying can be very expensive. Here are many ways to help you save money in flying.‎ Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday are the quietest days to fly, which means cheaper tickets than the rest of the week, especially for early morning flights, because many people don’t like to get up too early.‎ You already know that summer is the most expensive time to fly. The days around holidays can be crazy. You will save much money if you’re willing to travel on the very day, such as on December 25(Christmas) rather than December 24 or 26.‎ Don’t wait until the last minute to book tickets. Many travelers don’t know there is a secret to the best time for booking and getting the best price on your tickets. Booking too early or too late will make you pay more than you need to. If you want to fly on March 27, you'd better book the ticket between February 27. and March 13.‎ Airlines will charge for just about anything these days. Here are two tips to help you save some money.‎ ‎●Take your own food. Food on the plane is neither cheap nor healthy. Put some of your own food into your bag and you can eat better and cheaper than other passengers.‎ ‎●Don’t take much baggage. Why pay for your clothes to fly with you? Take only two pairs of shoes. Also, you can pack fewer items like socks—just plan to do a bit of washing on your trip.‎ ‎25. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?‎ ‎ A. To advise us to travel happily. B. To tell us how expensive flying can be. ‎ ‎ C. To give some ways to save money in flying. D. To help us organize our trips properly.‎ ‎26. When will probably be the cheapest for you to fly?‎ ‎ A. A Saturday afternoon. B. A Sunday morning.‎ ‎ C. A Tuesday afternoon. D. A Wednesday morning.‎ ‎27. To save the most money on your ticket you should ____‎ ‎ A. fly on Thanksgiving Day and book your ticket before two weeks.‎ ‎ B. fly on Thanksgiving Day and book your ticket before two months.‎ ‎ C. fly on the day before Thanksgiving Day and book your ticket before two weeks.‎ ‎ D. fly on the day before Thanksgiving Day and book your ticket before two months.‎ ‎28. Which of the following is true?‎ ‎ A. You can only take two pairs of socks. B. You'd better take less baggage.‎ ‎ C. The food on the plane is cheap. D. The food on the plane is healthy. ‎ ‎ C ‎ Last week I visited my friend Pete in the new home where he lives with his wife and daughter. Pete used to spend his holidays travelling around the world, visiting the pyramids in Egypt or scuba diving (潜水) in the Caribbean. Nowadays he prefers to spend his holidays and weekends making his house look more beautiful. Like hundreds of thousands of other British people, he has discovered the joy of DIY (Do It Yourself), which means if there are any things that need fixing around the house, he will try to do the job himself.‎ As he showed me the new kitchen he put together by himself and the newly painted walls, I asked Pete where he got his inspiration (灵感) from. He told me that his favorite source of ideas was a DIY program on TV.‎ This got me thinking about the great popularity of DIY programs in the UK. Each major channel(频道) has at ‎ least one home or garden improving show and there’s even a satellite channel completely about the subject.‎ I guess it is not really surprising that DIY programs are so popular. Two common sayings in Britain－‘an Englishman’s home is his castle’ and ‘there’s no place like home’－show how important our houses are to us. With the present economic downturn, many people can’t afford to buy a bigger house so they are looking at how they can make their house better without spending a lot of money. DIY is the perfect choice.‎ But be careful! I read a report that said over 230,000 people were injured while doing home improvements in the UK in just one year, including 41,000 who fell off ladders (梯子) and 5,800 who were seriously hurt by hammers(锤子). So I won’t be going down to the hardware store.‎ ‎29. How did Pete spend his holiday in the past?‎ A. Visiting his friends. B. Diving.‎ C. Travelling around the world. D. Making his house beautiful.‎ ‎30. Which might NOT be shown in a DIY program on TV?‎ A. Scuba diving. B. A garden improving feature (特别节目).‎ C. Home improvements. D. Fixing things in kitchens ‎31. Which is NOT the reason why DIY is popular among British people?‎ A. They enjoy DIY. B. They want to make their houses better themselves.‎ C. They can improve their houses without spending much money.‎ D. They want to be on TV.‎ ‎32. At the end of the article the writer wants us to remember _____.‎ A. not to go to the hardware store. B. to be careful not to get hurt while doing DIY.‎ C. to keep watching DIY on TV while drinking a nice cup of tea.‎ D. not to climb ladders or use hammers.‎ ‎ D ‎ A Good Night’s Sleep Sleep plays a very important role in good health and well-being throughout your life. While you’re sleeping, your brain is forming new pathways to help you learn and remember information. Although we all know the importance of getting a good night’s sleep, not all of us know the best way of getting it. A sleep expert, Phil Atherton, gave some top tips for getting the most out of the night, which will leave you ready for action in the morning.‎ According to Phil Atherton, not eating a large meal before bedtime is important for getting a good night’s sleep. The time difference between eating and sleeping should be at least three hours. So you’d better avoid eating any ‎ food three hours before bed, as it will lower your blood sugar during sleep and help reduce damage from too much sugar floating around.‎ It’s also important to find ways to prepare your body for sleep. You can follow a routine like trying not to expose yourself to too much artificial light within 1 hour before bed, as your brain uses light to help set "body clock". Although it might seem unnatural to schedule your sleep, the purpose is to send a signal to your body and mind that it’s time to sleep.‎ Another way to prepare your body for sleep is to get into a relaxed state by taking a bath or listening to soft music. Both of them will help to take the mind off the daytime pressures , calm yourself down and keep yourself from feeling tense(紧张).‎ Having a suitable bed, especially a suitable mattress (床垫), is necessary for a good night’s sleep. Sleep is a personalized activity, and we all use different sleeping positions. Finding the mattress that suits you will reduce back pains that can result from a poor sleeping position. The bed should be four to six inches longer than its tallest user, allowing for space to move around.‎ The recent research is pretty clear that a good night’s sleep in a major component of good health. Since the start of the 21st century, studies have linked a lack of sleep to many diseases, such as diabetes and obesity. Taking action now will lead to long-term benefits for you and those around you.‎ ‎33. What does the author intend to tell us in the passage?‎ ‎ A. When to start a good sleep.　　　 B. How to get a good night’s sleep.‎ ‎ C. What to do with sleep problems.　 D. Why to form a good habit of sleeping.‎ ‎34. According to the author, before going to sleep, you’d better __________.‎ ‎ A. free yourself from tension 　　 B. check your blood sugar ‎ C. reduce your pain in the back 　 D. record your biological clock ‎35. What does the underlined word "it" in Paragraph 2 refer to?‎ ‎ A. Not eating food. 　B. Taking a meal.　 C. Not sleeping well.  D. Having a good sleep.‎ 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ ‎ How to make your children love reading ‎ ‎ Reading is very important. Do your children love reading?

This creates a good way for parents to connect with their children through reading.‎ Pick a good book and read aloud ‎ ‎38 This is another good chance to join your children and make reading exciting, if you have children who aren't fond of reading.‎ ‎39‎ If you dress up yourself like one of their favorite book characters(角色), your children will be surprised and excited.
