阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳答案。
(A)
Different people use different languages. We Chinese speak Chinese, and, most of us are learning a foreign language. But there is another kind of language we need to know---the language of the body.
All over the world, people “talk with their hands, with their heads and with their eyes. When Japanese people meet, they bow. When Indians meet, they put their hands together. What do American and British people do? Americans are more informal(不拘小节的) than the British. They like to be friendly. They use first names, they ask questions and they talk easily about themselves.When they sit down, they like to relax in their chairs and make themselves comfortable. British people are more reserved(保守的).They take more time to make friends. They like to know you before they ask your name.
When British or American people meet someone for the first time, they shake hands. They do not usually shake hands with people they know well. Women sometimes kiss their women friends, and men kiss women friends (on one cheek only). When a man meets a man, he just smiles, and says, “Hello. ” Men do not kiss each other, or hold hands. Even fathers and sons do not often kiss each other.

After a day of work and play, the body needs to rest. Sleep is necessary for good health. During this time, the body recovers from the activities of the previous day. The rest that you get while sleeping enables your body to prepare itself for the next day.
There are four levels of sleep, each being a little deeper than the one before. As you sleep, your muscles relax little by little, your heart beats more slowly, and your brain slows down. After you reach the fourth level, your body shifts back and forth from one level of sleep to the others.
Although your mind slows down, form time to time you will dream. Scientists who study sleep state that when dreaming starts, your eyeballs begin to move quickly (although your eyelids are closed). This stage of sleep is called REM, which stands for rapid eye movement.
When you have trouble falling asleep, some people recommend (推荐) breathing very slowly and deeply. Other people believe that drinking warm milk will help make you drowsy. There is also an old suggestion that counting sheep will put you to sleep.
46. The underlined word “drowsy” in the passage means _______.
| A. sick | B. asleep | C. a little sleepy | D. dream |
47. This passage suggests that not getting enough sleep might make you _______.
| A. dream more often | B. have poor health |
| C. nervous | D. a bit too old |
48. During REM, ________.
| A. your eyes move quickly | B. you dream |
| C. you are restless | D. Both A and B |
49. The average number of hours of sleep that an adult needs is ________.
| A. about six hours | B. around ten hours |
| C. about eight hours | D. not stated here |
50. Which of the following does NOT happen when you sleep?
| A. Your muscles relax. | B. Your heart beats more slowly. |
| C. Your brain slows down. | D. Your blood pressure rises. |
(C)
Is there anything more important than health? I don’t think so. “Health is the greatest wealth”, wise people say. You can’t be good at your studies or work well when you are ill.
If you have a headache, toothache, backache, earache or bad pain in the stomach, if you complain of a bad cough, if you run a high temperature and have a bad cold, or if you suffer from high or low blood pressure, I think you should go to the doctor.
The doctor will examine your throat, feel your pulse (脉搏), test your blood pressure, take your temperature, sound your heart and lungs, test your eyes, check your teeth or have your chest X-rayed. After that he will advise some treatment, or some medicine. The only thing you have to do is to follow his advice.
Speaking about doctor’s advice, I can’t help telling you a funny story.
An old gentleman came to see a doctor. The man was very ill. He told the doctor about his weakness, memory loss and serious problems with his heart and lungs. The doctor examined him and said there was no medicine for his disease.
He told his patient to go to a quiet place for a month and have a good rest. He also advised him to eat a lot of meat, drink two glasses of red wine every day and take long walks. In other words, the doctor advised him to follow the rule: “Eat at pleasure, drink with measure and enjoy life as it is. “” the doctor also said that if the man wanted to be well again, he shouldn’t smoke more than one cigarette a day.
A month later the gentleman came into the doctor’s office. He looked cheerful and happy. He thanked the doctor and said that he had never felt a healthier man.
“But you know, doctor, ” he said, “it’s not easy to begin smoking at my age.”
51. The writer thinks that _________.
| A. health is more important than wealth | B. work is as important as studies |
| C. medicine is more important than pleasure | D. nothing is more important than money |
52. What advice did the doctor NOT give the old man.?
| A. Take long walks. | B. Smoke more than one cigarette a day. |
| C. Eat a lot of meat. | D. Drink two glasses of red wine every day. |
53. The underlined part “he had never felt a healthier man” means “________”.
| A. he was feeling better than ever | B. he wasn’t a healthy man |
| C. he was feeling worse than before | D. he will be well again |
54. From the last sentence of the passage, we can learn ___________ .
| A. the man was a heavy smoker before seeing the doctor |
| B. the man didn’t smoke so much before seeing the doctor |
| C. the man didn’t smoke before seeing the doctor |
| D. the man began to learn to smoke before seeing the doctor |
55. Generally, which of the following is NOT right when one is ill?
| A. Go to see a doctor. | B. Follow the doctor’s advice. |
| C. Have a good rest. | D. Eat a lot of meat. |
(D)
I was in a strange city, besides I could not speak a word of the language. After having spent my first day in the town center, I decided to lose my way on my second day, since I believed that this was the surest way of getting to know this strange city better.
I rode on a bus for several stops, then got off it and walked on. The first two hours passed pleasantly enough. Then I decided to turn back to my hotel for lunch. I wanted to ask the way. But the trouble was that the only word I knew of the language was the name of the street my hotel was in.
I stopped to ask a newspaper-seller. He smiled and handed me a paper. I shook my head and repeated the name of the street and he put the paper into my hands. I had to give him some money and went on my way. The next person I asked was a policeman. The policeman listened to me carefully. There was a strange look in his eyes as he pointed left and right and left again. I nodded politely and began walking in the direction he pointed.
About an hour passed and I noticed that the houses were getting fewer and fewer and green fields could be seen on either side of me. I knew the only thing left for me to do was to find the nearest railway station.
