阅读理解。

Feel tired lately?Has a doctor said he can’t find anything wrong with you?Perhaps he sends you to a hospital,but all the advanced equipment there shows there is nothing wrong with you. Then,consider this:you might be in a state of sub-health(亚健康).

Sub-health,also called the third state or gray state,is explained as borderline state between health and disease.

According to the investigation by the National Organization,over 45 percent of sub-health people are middle-aged or elderly.The percentage is even higher among people who work in management positions as well as students around exam-week.

Symptoms(征兆)include a lack of energy,depression,slow reactions,insomnia(失眠),agitation, and poor memory.Other symptoms include shortness of breath,sweating and aching in the waist and legs.

The key to preventing and recovering from sub-health,according to some medical experts,is to form good living habits, alternate work and rest, exercise regularly,and take part in open air activities.

As for meals,people are advised to eat less salt and sugar.They should also eat more fresh vegetables,fruits,fish because they are rich in nutritional elements—vitamins and trace elements(微量元素)—that are important to the body.

Nutrition experts point out that it is not good to eat too much at one meal because it may cause unhealthy changes in the digestive tract(消化道).They also say that a balanced diet is very helpful in avoiding sub-health.

1.When you are in a state of sub-health,you should ________.

A .stay home and keep silent

B. go to a doctor and buy some medicine

C. not consider it very serious

D. find out the reasons and relax yourself

提示:从全文可以看出，亚健康是身体对压力、疲劳的一种反应，即使最先进的仪器也查不出病因。所以不必去医院，也不必吃药，但是不能听之任之，不认真对待。正确的方法是找出原因、减轻压力、消除疲劳、平衡膳食。

答案:D

2.Middle-aged people may be easy to get sub-health because ________.

A. they have used up their energy

B. they have lost their living hopes

C. they have more pressure in life and work

D. they have changed their way of life

提示:亚健康的起因与疲劳有关系，但不是已将体力用完，排除A项。B、D两项文章没涉及。根据常识和第四段最后一句，我们也能判断正确答案为C项。

答案:C

3.The key to preventing you from falling into a state of sub-health is to ________.

A. keep on working regularly

B. go to sleep a bit earlier

C. form good living habits

D. take medicine if necessary

答案:C 文章倒数第三段第一句“…is to form good living habits”

4.The underlined word “alternate” in this passage is closest in meaning to ________.

A. arrange by turns

B. cause to take place

阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

I needed to buy a digital camera, one that was simply good at taking good snaps(快照), maybe occasionally for magazines. Being the cautious type, I fancied a reliable brand. So I went on the net, spent 15 minutes reading product reviews on good websites, wrote down the names of three top recommendations and headed for my nearest big friendly camera store. There in the cupboard was one of the cameras on my list. And it was on special offer. Oh joy. I pointed at it and asked an assistant, “Can I have one of those?” He looked perturbed (不安). “Do you want to try it first?” he said. It didn’t quite sound like a question. “Do I need to? “ I replied. “There’s nothing wrong with it? “ This made him look a bit insulted and I started to feel bad. “No, no, But you should try it,” he said encouragingly. “Compare it with the others.”

I looked across at the others: shelves of similar cameras placed along the wall, offering a wide range of slightly different prices and discounts, with each company selling a range of models based around the same basic box. With so many models to choose from, it seemed that I would have to spend hours weighing X against Y, always trying to take Z and possibly R into account at the same time. But when I had finished, I would still have only the same two certainties that I had entered the store with: first, soon after I carried my new camera out of the shop, it would be worth half what I paid for it; and second, my wonderful camera would very quickly be replaced by a new model.

But something in the human soul whispers that you can beat these traps by making the right choice, the clever choice, the wise choice. In the end, I agreed to try the model I had chosen. The assistant seemed a sincere man. So I let him take out my chosen camera from the cupboard, show how it took excellent pictures of my fellow shoppers. . . and when he started to introduce the special features, I interrupted to ask whether I needed to buy a carry-case and a memory card as well.

Why do we think that new options (选择) still offer us anything new? Perhaps it is because they offer an opportunity to avoid facing the foot that our real choices in this culture are far more limited than we would like to imagine.

1. The shop assistant insisted that the writer should .

A. try the camera to see if there was anything wrong with it

B. compare the camera he had chosen with the others

C. get more information about different companies

D. trust him and stop asking questions

2. What does the writer mean by“it would be worth half what I paid for it” (Paragraph 2)?

A. He should get a 50% discount.

B. The price of the camera was unreasonably high.

C. The quality of the camera was not good.

D. The camera would soon fall in value.

3. The writer decided to try the model he had chosen because he . A. knew very little about it

B. didn’t trust the shop assistant

C. wanted to make sure the one he chose would be the best

D. had a special interest in taking pictures of his fellow shoppers

4. It can be inferred from the passage that in the writer’s opinion, .

A. people waste too much money on cameras

B. cameras have become an important part of our daily life

C. we don’t actually need so many choices when buying a product

D. famous companies care more about profit than quality

【2014高考英语福建省莆田市教学质量检查试卷】

This year the selfie earned its place as the Oxford English Dictionary’s 2013 Word Of The Year．It has taken over our culture-and our smartphones．The rise of the selfie has become universal-between presidents，celebrities(名人)and citizens alike-and the trend is only continuing to grow.

A recent survey conducted by the Pew Internet＆American Life Project found that 54 percent of Internet have posted original photos online．And of those hundreds of millions of photos， many are of selfie photos．

For example，currently there are nearly 62 million posted selfie

photos on Instagram，the social media tool that has significantly contributed to the personal photo’s popularity．That figure，which continues to rise every day, does not even begin to include the selfies shared on Facebook and Twitter.

What makes the selfie so attractive-and why do we feel it a must to take one? According to Dr．Pamela Rutledge，psychologist and director of the Media Psychology Research Center，the desire to take，post and get“likes” on selfies goes back to a biological behavior of all humans．

“ I think it influences our sense of social connection in the same way as it does when you go to a party and people say‘Oh I love your dress，’”Rutledge told The Huffington Post.“Biological，social recognition is a real need and there is even an area of the brain that contributes to social activity．”

There is a way to adapt to the growing selfie culture．Whether you’re a selfie novice or an advanced poster，there are always things to be mindful of when you’re posting，Rutledge advises.

She offered two main principles to follow when it comes to posting on social media:

1．The Grandmother Rule

“Don't post anything online，whether text or visual，that you don't want grandmother or future employer to see，” Rutledge said．“Selfies especially．”

2．The Elevator Rule

“Y o u wouldn’t say something in an elevator that you or no one else wants to hear—the whole world of social media is an elevator，”Rutledge said．“Be aware of the breadth of platform．It's easy to think you’re sharing a photo with a few people，but Instagram is public and people can come across things．”

60．What's the main idea of the first paragraph?

A．The selfie is taking the lead．

B．Many people are fond of smartphones．

C．The selfie will take over everything．

D．The selfie is an important new word．

61．According to the passage，people like“selfie”so much，because they___________. A．need to be acknowledged in social life

B．want to show off their new dresses

C．desire to share good things

D．mean to amuse the public

62．The underlined word“novice”in Paragraph 6 probably means“___________”.

A．publisher B．greenhand C．novelist D．celebrity

63．When it comes to posting on social media，Rutledge advises people to___________. A．share photos only on Instagram

B．talk about their photos in an elevator

C．be cautious in posting things online

D．follow rules set by their grandmothers

Dr．Ferguson energetically pushed the preparations for his departure，and in person directed

the construction of his balloon．For a long time past he had been applying himself to the study of the Arab language and the various Mandingoe idioms，and，thanks to his talents in language，he had made rapid progress．

In the meanwhile，his friend，the sportsman，never let him out of

his sight-afraid，no doubt，that the doctor might take his departure，without saying a word to anybody．On this subject，he tried to discourage him with the most persuasive arguments，which，however，did NOT persuade Samuel Ferguson，and wasted his breath，by which the latter seemed to be but slightly moved．In fine，Dick felt that the doctor was slipping through his fingers． The poor Scot was really to be pitied．He could not look upon the

blue sky without a wild terror: when asleep，he felt dizziness(眩晕)that made his head turn around；and every night he had visions of crashing down from immeasurable heights．

We must add that，during these nightmares，he once or twice fell out of bed. His first care then was to show Ferguson a severe bump(肿块)that he had received on the fall．“And yet，”he would add，with warmth，“that was at the height of only three feet一not an inch more一and such a bump as this! Only think，then!”

This appeal，full of sad meaning as it was，did not seem to touch the doctor's heart．Not even the shadow of a doubt was ever suggested；and Samuel made an intolerable misuse of the first person plural：“‘Our’balloon，‘our’ car ；‘our’expedition.”

Dick trembled at them，although he was determined not to go ; he did not want to annoy his friend．Let us also disclose the fact that，without knowing exactly why himself，he had sent to Edinburgh for a certain selection of heavy clothing，and his best hunting-tools and fire-arms．

68．Why did Dr．Ferguson start to learn new languages?

A．To keep himself occupied．

B．To get ready for the departure．

C．To show his talent in language．

D．To Know more about balloon construction．
