Preventing heart disease is a topic I think about all the time, given my family history of heart disease. So last summer, I travelled toBolivia.The natives, called the Tsimane, were reported to have the healthiest hearts in the world. I wanted to learn what they could teach me about preventing heart disease.
Getting to the Tsimane wasn't easy. They lived in small family groups of about 60 people along river banks. We finally found one of the villages at sunset. That night, we set up our tents in the middle of the village. Thatched huts surrounded us, with no electricity or modem conveniences.
At first, I thought they mainly got their calorics from meat. However, I found food such as rice and com made up nearly 70% of their diet. The food was not processed, lacking added sugars or salts.
During my stay there, I went hunting and fishing with the men and played soccer with the kids. I found the Tsimane were standing or walking nearly all of their waking hours. Men spent lots of time tracking animals. Fanning and gathering, mostly done by children and women, were all-day affairs.
I also got a clear idea of how they rested. As soon as the sun went down, people returned to their huts and went to sleep. And with the call of the cock in the morning, another day began.
The lifespan of the Tsimane is actually much shorter than those living in theUS. Various factors, like animal attacks and infections, bring down the lifespan. But up until the day they die, they are often very healthy. While heart disease kills thousands of Americans every year and costs nearly a billion dollars a day, the Tsimane remind us that wealth doesn't necessarily buy health.
4. Why does the author pay so much attention to preventing heart disease? A. He dreams of becoming a doctor. B. He wants to teach others about the topic. C. His family members encourage him to do so. D. He was born with a high risk of heart disease.
5. Which factors did the author mainly focus on in his research?
A. Housing, food and cooperation. B. Diet, activity and rest.
C. Physical work, social life and lifespan. D. Group size, family history and consumption 6. What was the Tsimane 's sleep-wake cycle mainly based on? A. Natural sound. B. Routine activity. C. Animal behaviour. D. Natural light.
7. What might the author advise us to do after his travels inBolivia? A. Take in less sugar and salt. B. Stand less and walk more.
C. Eat white meat instead of red meat. D. Live in the middle of the community.
C
Our house was across the street from a big hospital so we rented our spare upstairs room to outpatients (门诊病人). One evening, there was a knock at the door. I opened it to see a truly sick-looking man.
His face looked terrible — it was swollen and red. Yet his voice was pleasant. He told me that he came for treatment and that he’d been hunting for a spare room since noon, but no one would give him one. “I guess it’s my face...”
For a moment, I hesitated, but his next words convinced me: “I will sleep in this rocking chair on the porch. My bus leaves early in the morning.”
The old man had a huge heart inside his tiny body. He told me that he fished for a living to support his daughter, his daughter’s five children and her disabled husband.
He didn’t complain while telling me his story. He was grateful that no pain accompanied his disease, which was seemingly a form of skin cancer.
The next morning, he said, “Can I come back and stay next time I need treatment?” I told him he was welcome to come again.
On his next trip, as a gift, he brought a big fish and some large oysters (牡蛎). In the years that he stayed with us, there was never a time that he did not bring us gifts like these.
My neighbour warned me that I could lose potential renters after the old man left.
Maybe we did lose renters once or twice. But if they had known him, perhaps their illnesses would have been easier to bear. I know our family will always be grateful to have known him. From him, we learned what it was to accept the bad without complaint and the good with gratitude. 8. Why did the author let the old man stay after hesitation? A. The old man looks terrible and frightening. B. The old man is pitifully undemanding.
C. The old man could’t rent room from others. D. The old man talked happily with the author.
9. Which of the following shows the old man had a big heart? A.He had a large family to raise. B. He could sleep in a rocking chair. C. He did’t care about his disease.
D. He wanted to come back and stay the next time.
10. What can we learn about the author from the last two paragraphs? A. He was grateful for the neighbour’s warning. B. He and his neighbor are good friends. C. He truly appreciated the old man. D. He lost potential renters happily. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text ?
A. Kindness makes the world beautiful. B. Happiness is around thecorner. C. No pains, No gains. D. Live positively.
D
Move over, helicopter parents. “Snowplow (扫雪机) parents” are the newest reflection of an intensive (强化的) parenting style that can include parents booking their adult children haircuts, texting their college kids to wake them up so they don’t sleep through a test, and even calling their kids’ employers.
Helicopter parenting the practice of wandering anxiously near one’s children, monitoring their every activity, is so 20th century. Some rich mothers and fathers now are more like snowplows: machines moving ahead, clearing any difficulties in their children’s path to success, so they don’t have to suffer failure, frustration (挫折) or lose opportunities.
It starts early, when parents get on wait lists for excellent preschools before their babies are born and try to make sure their kids never do anything that may frustrate them. It gets more intense when school starts: running forgotten homework to school or calling a coach to request that their children make the team.
Rich parents may have more time and money to devote to making sure their children don’t ever meet with failure, but it’s not only rich parents practicing snowplow parenting. This intensive parenting has become the most welcome way to raise children, regardless of income, education, or race.
Yes, it’s a parent’s job to support the children, and to use their adult wisdom to prepare for the future when
their children aren’t mature enough to do so. That’s why parents hide certain toys from babies to avoid getting angry or take away a teenager’s car keys until he finishes his college applications.
But snowplow parents can take it too far, some experts say. If children have never faced a difficulty, what happens when they get into the real world?
“Solving problems, taking risks and overcoming frustration are key life skills,” many child development experts say, “and if parents don’t let their children experience failure, the children don’t acquire them.” 12. What do we know about snowplow parenting? A. It appeared before helicopter parenting. B. It costs parents less than helicopter parenting. C. It was a typical phenomenon of the 20th century. D. It provides more than enough services for children.
13. What is mainly discussed about snowplow parenting in Paragraph 4?
A. Its cost. B. Its benefits. C. Its popularity. D. Its ending. 14. Why does the author mention parents’ taking away car keys? A. To show teenagers are no better than babies. B. To advise teenagers not to treat their cars as toys. C. To advise parents not to buy cars for their teenagers. D. To show it’s appropriate to help children when necessary.
15. What’s the possible result of snowplow parenting according to the experts? A. Children lacking problem-solving ability in reality. B. Children mastering more key life skills than parents. C. Children gaining great success in every aspect of life. D. Children meeting no problems or frustration after growing up. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）

Why Drawing is Important for Your Child's Development
One of the first things a child can do is pick up a pencil and start drawing. And as new technologies are becoming much more accessible, they bring with them new ways to learn important creative skills.___16___Here are just some of the reasons why drawing is important for children's development.
Drawing makes children more expressive.
Children can't always express themselves using words and actions. And drawing is another important form of communication. You can understand your child's thoughts and feelings better through their drawings.___17___

Then see what solutions they came to.

52.阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
One rainy day, Lily, a sad little girl, was looking out of the window. Her mother was doing her usual housework. She had been busy preparing dinner and washing clothes. Her daughter, not old enough to go to
school, had wanted to play outside, but it was raining. The mother told her little girl to get some paper and a pencil to draw pictures. She hadn’t noticed her daughter was very sad.
Lily was the only child in the family and had no brothers or sisters to play with. She sat on the sofa with her pencil and paper, looked out of the window and began to draw a picture. She drew the window with rain streaming down the glass. Then she drew a little girl in front of the window with ribbons in her hair. The mother passed by as she was going to put the clothes into the dryer. She told her daughter that her drawing was pretty. Lily said thank you, but she still wanted to go out to play. Her mother said, “We have discussed that already. You can’t. It’s raining.”
Lily continued to draw the picture, while her mother went back to the kitchen to check on dinner. The mother could see her daughter’s drawing across the glass door that divided the two rooms. In the drawing, a little girl had big tears rolling down her cheeks. The mother thought about the events of the day in her mind.
Several times that day, Lily had asked her mother for permission to go out and play. The rain had prevented her from going out. She had asked her mother to play and watch cartoons with her. Each time, her mother was too busy with things she had to do. The mother felt guilty, and realized the little girl in the drawing was her daughter’s self-portrait. So she walked into the living room.
