| 第6、7、8、9、10题：The human body has developed its millions of nerves to be highly aware of what goes on both inside and outside of it. This helps us adjust to the outside world. Without our nerves and our brain, which is a system of nerves, we couldn’t know whats happening. But we pay for our sensitivity. We can feel pain when the slightest thing is wrong with any part of our body. The history of torture ( 折磨 ) is based on the human body being open to pain. But there is a way to handle pain. Look at the Indian fakir ( 苦行僧 ) who sits on a bed of nails. Fakirs can put a needle fight through an arm, and feel no pain. This ability that some humans have developed to handle pain should give us ideas about how the mind can deal with pain. The big thing in withstanding pain is our attitude toward it. If the dentist says, "This will hurt a little," it helps us to accept the pain. By staying relaxed, and by treating the pain as an interesting sensation ( 感觉 ), we can handle the pain without falling apart. After all, although pain is an unpleasant sensation, it is still a sensation, and sensations are the stuff of life. 41. The human body has developed a system of nerves that enables us to A、 stay relaxed B、 avoid pain C、 stand torture D、 feel pain 42. What does the writer mean by saying "we pay for our sensitivity" in the first paragraph? A、 We have to take care of our sense of pain. B、 We suffer from our sense of feeling. C、 We should try hard to resist pain. D、 We are hurt when we feel pain. 43. When the author mentions the Indian fakir, he shows that A、 fakirs possess magic power B、 Indians are not afraid of pain C、 people can learn to cope with pain D、 some people are born without a sense of pain 44. What is essential for people to stand pain according to the writer? A、 Their relaxation. B、 Their interest. C、 Their nerves. D、 Their attitude. 45. The author believes that A、 feeling pain is part of our life B、 pain should be avoided at all costs C、 feeling pain can be an interesting thing D、 magic power is essential for reducing pain |

| 第12、13、14、15、16题： You can always recognize dieters from the sour expression on their faces. They spend most of their time turning their noses up at food. They are forever consulting calorie charts, gazing at themselves in mirrors, and leaping on to weighing-machines in the bathroom. They spend a lifetime fighting a losing battle against spreading hips, protruding tummies and double chins. What a miserable lot dieters are! Marlin I began making some dietary and lifestyles changes during my second year of college and have been eating this way ever since. I like the way I feel when I don't eat animal foods so much more than the pleasure I used to get from eating them. I have much more energy; I need less sleep; I feel calmer; I can maintain an ideal body weight without worrying about how much I eat, and I can think more clearly. Maggie During my first year of college, I gained forty pounds when I began throwing the javelin. For the next twenty years, I carried all of this extra weight and kidded myself that I was in good shape since that's what I weighed in college. Now that I've lost all that extra weight, I feel great! People say all the time, "Well, how do you live without eating cheeseburgers or this or that?" and I say, "You just don't. It' s not even an option. It's not that hard once you get on it. " Belinda If you are on a diet, you're always hungry. You can't be hungry and happy at the same time. All the horrible concoctions you eat instead of food leave you permanently dissatisfied. A complete food it may be, but not quite as complete as juicy steak. So at least three times a day you will be exposed to temptation. How miserable to watch others tucking into piles of mouth-watering food while you munch a water biscuit and sip unsweetened lemon juice! And if hunger just proves too much for you, in the end you will lash out and devour five huge guilt-inducing cream cakes at a sitting. Then things will turn out to be even worse. Wood I went on diet when my doctor told me that my blood pressure tended to be high. Only at that time did I realize the danger of being overweight. Since I began making dietary changes in 1982, eating this way has become increasingly accepted. I don't feel I've lost something after dieting. Instead, I’ve got something valuable. That is good health. Now match each of the persons to the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements. Statements 61. Abbey A、 Being on a diet is a torture. 62. Marlin B、 I feel better with vegetarian food. 63. Maggie C、 I lost weight after dieting. D、 I began dieting for the sake of health. 64. Belinda [E] Dieting enables people to enjoy life more. 65. Wood [F] Dieting simply causes endless worries. [ G] Dieting does more harm than good to one' s health. |
