Then, when her daughter was two, she (13) ______ (drop) all the weight with practically no effort. “I wasn’t using any diet pills, fat burners, or aerobic exercise … (14) ______,” she recalls.‎ The change had nothing to do with (15) ______ Rodriguez ate. Rather, it began when she started a new job that shook up her daily routine. Working in the office of a DJ company near her apartment, she started her shift at 5:30 p.m. Instead of sharing dinner with her husband at nine, (16) ______ he got home from his job, she ate alone at five, before she left her child with a baby sitter and went to work. (17) ______ nine months, she slimmed from a size 16 to a size 2. She felt like a movie star (18) ______ seems to lose baby weight effortlessly. “You don’t think that could happen to you,” she says.‎ Night work often leads to weight gain, so Rodriguez’s story might seem to be an exception. But unlike many such workers, who labor in the very short hours or work rotating shifts (轮班), Rodriguez clocked out by 11 p.m. and got (19) ______ regular night’s sleep. Perhaps even (20) ______ (important), she didn’t eat at work or when she got home — just showered and went to bed.‎ Her main adjustment was moving dinnertime almost four hours earlier. That single, simple change seems to have caused Rodriguez’s dramatic weight loss — and new scientific evidence is used to explain why. Researchers are developing a completely new understanding of (21) ______ it works. It seems that our bodies are ready to process food most efficiently when it (22) ______ (eat) during daylight hours. “We now recognize that our biology responds differently to calories consumed at different times of day,” says Harvard scientist Frank Scheer. That means a habit as harmless as eating at night, compared with eating meals with the same amount of calories during the day, (23) ______ cause people to gain weight. “That late-night bowl of ice cream may all go toward your waistline,” says Christopher Colwell, author of Circadian Medicine.‎ Section B Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.‎ A. fighting B. immediately C. amazed D. results E. annoyed F. figuring G. admire H. rarely I.‎ fears J. valued K. connected Love My Boy My son, Tyler, is loving and brilliant, but he doesn’t know when he’s being too loud or talking too much. He can’t read facial expressions to tell when somebody is sad, curious, or bored. I’ve watched adults respond to Tyler with __24__ looks or pity.‎ Fathers and sons don’t always know how to talk to one another, which is why we have sports, but Tyler didn’t like athletics. My wife Lori and I believed that Tyler needed the exercise. We also felt he needed to be part of a team. At school, he was __25__ academically and socially. One playdate (玩伴相约) __26__ led to a second. He had few hobbies or interests and stuck to those he had: visiting bookstores; playing video games; building Lego models; and watching TV shows about animals, U.S.‎ history.‎ When Tyler was 12, Lori was watching the TV show Parenthood one night, and she recognized our son in the character of Max Braverman. “Watch the show,” She said. I did. Suddenly, it seemed clear what was wrong with our boy. Lori found Mittie Quinn, a psychologist, who gave Tyler tests. Later, my wife and I walked into Quinn’s office to hear the __27__ that Tyler had a pretty classic case of Asperger’s (幼儿孤独症).‎ It was time for me and Lori to do some work. Lori, the true hero of this story, started action __28__. First, the hardest thing was __29__ out how to help Tyler fit into society. Lori said Tyler needed something social he could lose himself in. “He would feel __30__ if you did this with him,” Lori said. Lori suggested we visit sites __31__ to presidents by traveling to the homes and/or libraries of Presidents with him because Tyler loves history. Tyler got to road test his lessons from social-skills classes, discovering how to communicate and connect.‎ I came to see Tyler through the eyes of others — a skill he, too, was trying to master — and felt proud. Finally, I learned to __32__ Tyler’s quiet courage. How could a boy afraid of bees, needles, and dark rooms be brave? But the boy who faces his __33__ — to introduce himself to new people every day, for instance — might be the bravest person I know.‎ III.

Specifically, he was on the hunt for a fishing partner, as he no longer had anyone to share his hobby with. “I’m a widowed retired man who is looking for a fishing mate,” he wrote on Gumtree, “My previous fishing mate is now deceased. He will never accompany me to go fishing. I am a land-based fisherman. I have all the gear for all types of fish that is required for land-based fishing.”‎ Like all of us, 22-year-old Mati Batsinilas was touched by the man’s advertisement, so he reached out to him and arranged an outing. Rather than simply spend the day with Johnstone somewhere local, however, he and his family offered to take him on an all-inclusive weekend fishing trip of Stradbroke Island in Queensland. And, as expected, they had a good time. “Whilst on the island we covered four-wheel driving, site-seeing, fishing and swimming, chats with the locals and the best of all ... just relaxing and chatting like mates,” Batsinilas wrote in a Facebook post. “Once you reach a level of maturity in life, age should only be a number. My respect for ‎ Johostone is obviously very high, but I treated him exactly the way I would have treated one of my 22-year-old mates.”‎ Fortunately, it sounds like Johnstone won’t have to place more classified advertisements any time soon. In addition to finding a friend, the retiree has become a star on the Internet, with many social media users voicing their interests in meeting the now-famous fisherman.‎ ‎48. What was the aim of Ray Johnstone’s posting a classified advertisement?‎ A. To sell all his tools.‎ B. To find a friend to go fishing with.‎ C. To show off his excellent fishing skills.‎ D. To find a friend to sell all his caught fish.‎ ‎49. The word “deceased” in the first paragraph means “_______”.‎ A. ill B. unfriendly C. angry D. dead ‎50. What was Mati Batsinilas’ attitude towards Ray Johnstone?‎ A. He treated the old man as a friend of the same age.‎ B. He thought Johnstone was too old to go fishing with.‎ C. He thought his father would make friends with Johnstone.‎ D. He treated Johnstone like a senior citizen and took him to travel.‎ ‎51. What happened after Ray Johnstone posted the classified advertisement?‎ A. More people went online to read his latest information.‎ B. More people came to make friends with Ray Johnstone.‎ C. There were no advertisements for friends-hunting on the Internet.‎ D. Ray Johnstone regretted what he did on the Internet and moved away.‎ ‎(C)‎ Crossing your legs is an extremely common habit; most people don’t even notice that they’re doing it when they sit down. While you may find it comfortable to sit with one knee crossed over the other, it might be causing health problems that you are not aware of.‎ A study published in Blood Pressure Monitoring stated that sitting with your legs crossed can increase your blood pressure. The reason for this is that the blood in your legs has to work against gravity to be pumped back to your heart and that crossing one leg over the other increases resistance, making it even harder for the blood to circulate. This causes your body to increase your ‎ blood pressure to push the blood back to the heart. You won’t feel any immediate effects, but repeated, drawn-out increases in blood pressure can cause long-term health issues. So, planning to sit for a long period of time? Don’t keep your legs crossed.‎ Crossing your legs at the knee can also cause pressure on the major nerve in your leg that passes just below your knee and along the outside of your leg, explains Richard Graves, a medical expert. This pressure can cause numbness and temporary paralysis (麻痹) of some of the muscles in your foot and leg, preventing you from being able to raise your ankle — what we know as that “pins and needles” sensation. While the feeling of discomfort may only last a minute or two, repeatedly crossing your legs until they feel numb can cause permanent nerve damage.‎ So next time you sit down, try to get yourself in the habit of sitting with both of your feet on the floor. Not only will it help your posture and stability, but it will also save your health in the long run.‎ ‎52. What can we learn about crossing one’s legs?‎ A. It is a very bad social habit. B. It can do harm to people’s health.‎ C. It is usually practiced deliberately. D. It can make others feel uncomfortable.‎ ‎53. According to the study, sitting with your legs crossed can _______.‎ A. resist gravity effectively B. affect your blood pressure C. lead to heart attacks easily D. improve the function of legs ‎54. In the third paragraph “pins and needles” probably means _______.‎ A. serious muscle injuries B. being highly flexible C. being a little nervous D. slight sharp pains ‎55. What is the main purpose of the text?‎ A. To evaluate effects of an experiment. B. To introduce research methods.‎ C. To give readers some advice. D. To compare common habits.‎ IV. Translation Directions: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.‎ ‎56．Tom说他明白她的意思了。（point n.）‎ ‎57．在别的饭店是吃不到这种鱼的。（serve）‎ ‎58．一想到蜘蛛，Betty就觉得害怕。（On）‎ ‎59．这副神奇的药能使病人起死回生。（bring）‎ ‎60．暑假临近，校园里到处弥漫着快乐的气息。（air）‎ V.

I will buy three and you buy two of them.‎ W: I would rather do it this way: we pay fifty-fifty for the books now. And at the end of the course you can take the books you find more interesting and I will take the ones I like.‎ M: What if we both like the same books?‎ W: Come on, we are not going to argue over that, are we?‎ M: I was just joking. It’s definitely a better idea.‎ W: Then let’s get the books as soon as possible.‎ Now, listen again please.‎ Questions:‎ ‎9. How many books do the two speakers wanted to buy? (D)‎ ‎10.
