I was on a tour of Italy with my friends. Our car pulled to a stop at the beach. I got out and saw the blue sea. I shuddered (颤抖). Nothing scared me as much as water. Thirteen years earlier, I dropped into water and was nearly drowned at a city pool. Since then, I stayed away from water.

Just then I heard shouting in Italian. That was a little boy out there in the sea! His head popped up, then a wave crashed over him and he disappeared. I was the only one who was on the fastest way to reach the drowning boy. Yet I was as frightened as he. I forced myself to move.

I looked around, hoping that some strong-armed swimmer would come to help the boy. No one was there. Taking a deep breath, I threw myself into the water. As soon as I went under it, I felt like I was back in that city pool, breathless, struggling (挣扎). Calm down, I shouted in my head. Where is he? Then I saw it—a thin arm waving weakly a few yards away. I tried to think of how I’d seen real swimmers do it. I threw my arms out in front of me one after the other.

I reached the boy and caught his arms just as he went down below the surface. I pulled as hard as I could, and he popped back up, coughing, eyes wide with fear. Only one Italian word came to mind. “Riposo.” I told the boy. If he struggled, I’d never get him to safety. “Riposo.” I said again. He relaxed.

I held him and fought to get us back to land. And I realized that I was no longer afraid. Not at all. I knew how terrified I got at the sight of water. Yet the disappearing of fear was absolutely amazing.

25. Thirteen years earlier, the author ______.

A. travelled to Italy with friends

B. fell in love with diving

C. suffered a flood

D. nearly drowned

26. When the author jumped into the water, he felt ______.

A. frightened  B. powerful   C. disappointed   D. regretful

27. What does the Italian word “Riposo” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?

A. close your eyes     B. hold your breath

C. keep awake      D. stop moving

28. Which would be the best title for this passage?

A. With Hope      B. Beyond Fear

C. In Return          D. Under Pressure

C

How Much Exercise Do I Need?

When it comes to exercise, less is not more—but it’s certainly better than none. Physical inactivity account for (占比) as many as 23% of all deaths from major chronic (慢性的) diseases, yet almost one of every three Americans is sedentary (spending a lot of time sitting down). According to the Centers for Disease Control, 29.4% of those surveyed say they have no free-time physical activity at all. City people tend to be more active than country people, with 27.4% saying they are sedentary, compared with 36.6% of those in the country.

Light activity can increase physical and mental health. While light activity is good, moderate (not very large or very small) activity is even better, and health experts encourage everyone to have at least 30 minutes a day of moderate physical activity. But you don’t have to go to a gym. As recent studies show, “lifestyle” activities, such as walking, house cleaning and gardening, work as well as a structured (特意制定的) exercise program in improving heart function, lowering blood pressure and keeping or losing weight.

In one study, overweight, sedentary middle-aged men and women who are trying to make them more physically active by walking around reduced their body fat and improved their blood pressure and heart function as much as those going to structured programs at a gym. In another study, fat women aged from 21 to 60 who chose a more active lifestyle lost as much weight as women in a low-impact aerobics (有氧健身) program—and got fewer pounds back again in the following year.

Noticing the value of different levels and types of activity, the American College of Sports Medicine accept that several short periods of exercise during the day are nearly as good as one long period of exercise.  

29. By saying that almost one third of Americans are sedentary, the author means ______.

A. they take proper exercise to be healthy

B. they know nothing about light activity

C. they are very fond of physical activity

D. they take little free-time physical activity

30. According to the passage, which of the following belongs to moderate activity?             

A. Long-distance running.        B. Playing tennis at a gym.

C. House cleaning.            D. Playing football.

31. We can learn from the passage that ______.

A. light activity is especially good for the middle-aged people

B. light activity is more helpful in losing weight than moderate activity

C. long period of exercise is better than several short periods of exercise

D. moderate activity can better improve health physically and mentally

32. What do health experts suggest about moderate activity?

A. No less than half an hour’s moderate activity daily can do us good.

B. Taking moderate activity is no better than taking light activity.

C. “Lifestyle” activities are better than moderate activity.

D. People may go to the gym to take moderate activity.

第二节（共7小题，共16分）

阅读下面短文，按照题目要求完成下列任务。请在答题卡指定区域作答。

I enjoyed English, biology, and chemistry at school, but which one should I choose to study at university? I did not know the answer until one evening when I sat down at the computer to do some research on great women of China.

By chance I came across an article about a doctor called Lin Qiaozhi, an expert in women’s diseases. She lived from 1901 to 1983. It seemed that she had been very busy in her chosen work, travelling abroad to study as well as writing books and articles. One of them caught my eye. It was a small book explaining how to cut the death rate from having and caring for babies. She gave some simple rules to follow for keeping babies clean, healthy and free from sickness. Why did she write that? Who were the women that Lin Qiaozhi thought needed this advice? I looked carefully at the text and realized that it was intended for women in the countryside. Perhaps if they had an emergency they could not reach a doctor.

Suddenly it hit me how difficult it was for a woman to get medical training at that time. That was a time when girls’ education was always placed second to boys’. Was she so much cleverer than anyone else? Further reading made me realize that it was hard work and determination (决心) as well as her gentle nature that got her into medical school. What made her succeed later on was the kindness and consideration she showed to all her patients. There was story after story of how Lin Qiaozhi, tired after a day’s work, went late at night to deliver a baby for a poor family who could not pay her.

By now I could not wait to find out more about her. I discovered that Lin Qiaozhi had devoted her whole life to her patients and had chosen not to have a family of her own. Instead she made sure that about 50,000 babies were safely delivered. By this time I was very excited. Why not study at medical college like Lin Qiaozhi and carry on her good work? It was still not too late for me to improve my studies, prepare for the university entrance examinations, and…

One possible version:

I'm sorry to learn that you've been under a lot of pressure lately. It is natural to feel pressured when you attend a new school. Here are some suggestions that can help you deal with stress.

First, try to build up your confidence. Study is a long-term process and confidence plays an important role in it. So never give up no matter what happens. Second, you should find your own strengths and weaknesses, and seek help from both teachers and classmates when facing difficulties and stress. Last but not least, doing more physical exercise can keep you fit as well as relax yourself. I hope you will get out of your trouble soon.

I believe it will all work out. Cheer up! Let me know if I can help further.
