is often painful or 37 if we dont realize whats happeningIn fact, confusion is often the 38 that tells us a change is taking place within usThese changes happen throughout the lives of all humans, as we move from babyhood to 39 to teenage years and beyondWith each change from one 40 to another, we find ourselves 41 goodbye to an old friend, the identity （个性，身份） that we 42 in order to move through that particular timeSometimes we shape these identities in relationships or jobs, and when we change, those areas of our life become 43 Usually, if we take the time to look into the changing surface of things, we will find that a change is taking place 44 usFor example, we may go through one whole part of our lives creating a protective shell around ourselves 45 we need it in defense of ourselvesOne day, 46 , we may find ourselves feeling limited and bored, wanting to move outside the 47 we used to need; the new part of ourselves cannot be born within the 48 of the shell our old self neededWe may feel a strange 49 of excitement and sadness as we say goodbye to a part of ourselves that is 50 and make way for a whole new identity to 51 in its placeWe may find inspiration in working and studying when we think of the image of an animal who sheds （蜕毛；蜕皮） in order to 52 way for new skin, fur, or feathers to 53 For example, keeping a piece of snake skin, or some other symbols of change, can 54 us that death and rebirth are simply natures way of growingWe can give in to this process, letting go of our past self with great love and gratitude, and 55 the new with an open mind

（共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。ALast Sunday I made a visit to some new neighbors down the blockNo specific in mind, just an opportunity to sit at the kitchen table, have some tea and chatAs I did so, it occurred to me how rare the Sunday visit has becomeWhen I was a kid in New Jersey of the 1960s, Sunday visits were routineMost stores were closed, almost nobody worked, and the highways, as a result, were not desperate steeplechases（障碍赛跑） they have become todayMy family normally traveled eight city blocks to the home of my grandmother, where adults would sit on the front porch and chat while we children played hide-and-seekThe Sunday visit was something to desire stronglyIt was the repetition to church, our reward for an hour of devotion, an opportunity to take advantage of the fact that Dad was not at work, we were not in school, and there was no housework that couldnt wait until MondaySunday was, indeed, different from the other days of the week, because everyone seemed to be on the same schedule, which means that there was one day when everyone seemed to have time for everybody elseSunday as a day of rest is, or was, so deeply rooted in the culture that its surprising to find that, in a short span of time, it has almost entirely lost this associationIn my childhood, it was assumed that everyone would either be home or visiting someone elses home on SundayBut now the question is, “What do you plan to DO this Sunday?” The answer can range from going to the mall, to participating in a road race, to Montreal for lunchIf one were to respond, “Im making a Sunday visit to family,” such an answer would feel strange, which sounds like an echo from another eraI suppose I should be grateful to live in Maine, a state of small towns, abundant land and tight relationshipsEven though folks work as hard here as they do anywhere else, the states powerfully rural feature still keeps at least remnants（残余部分） of the moral of yesterdays America, where people had to depend on one another in the face of economic vagaries（反复无常的情况） and a challenging environment56The writers general impression of the Sunday in the past was a day whenAeveryone was paying a visit to some relatives far awayBeveryone seemed to be free for othersCDad was not at work while Mom was busy cleaning the houseDnearly every adult would go to church and children werent at school57In the fourth paragraph, the writer compares the response “Im making a Sunday visit to family” to an echo from another era because_Apeople nowadays prefer staying at home on SundayBsuch answers are rarely heard in our modern societyCpeople in the city dislike being disturbed on SundayDvisiting someone on Sunday was routine in the past 58From the last paragraph we may infer that_Apeople in Maine suffer more from economic depression and the changed environmentBpeople in Maine have abandoned their tradition and lived an absolutely new lifeCland in Maine is short, thus the relationship between people is tenseDpeople in Maine tend to help each other out of necessity59Whats the main idea of the passage?ADoing many activities on Sunday is beneficial BWe should often travel a long distance to visit some friends and relatives CNowadays, Sunday has almost lost its association as a day of rest DWe should abandon some old traditionBPeople who averaged fewer than seven hours of sleep per night in the weeks before being exposed to the cold virus were nearly three times as likely to get sick as those who averaged eight hours or more, a new study foundResearchers used frequent telephone interviews to track the sleep habits of more than 150 men and women aged 21 to 55 over the last few weeksThen they exposed the subjects to the virus, quarantined （检疫隔离） them for five days and kept track of who got sickBesides sleeping more, sleeping better also seemed to help the body fight illness: Patients who fared better on a measure known as “sleep efficiency”the percentage of time in bed that youre actually sleepingwere also less likely to get sickThe results held true even after researchers adjusted for elements such as body-mass index, age, sex, smoking and pre-existing antibodies （抗体） to the virusThe researchers arent exactly sure why sleeping better makes you less likely to develop a coldBut they do try to give an answer: “Sleep disturbance influences the regulation of symptom mediators （调节因子） that are released in response to infection” In plain English, maybe tossing and turning when youre infected with the cold virus contributes to the symptoms that define a coldThe researchers were based at Carnegie Mellon, the Universityof Pittsburgh and the University of Virginia, and the study was funded by the National Institutes of Health60According to the passage, what does the underlined word “subjects” mean in paragraph 2?Aareas of knowledge in a school Bpeople being studied in an experiment Cresearch topics Danimals being tested 61It is shown in the passage that _Athe researchers obtain information about the sleep habits by frequent interviewsBthe researchers do their research in the National Institutes of HealthCpeople hope to avoid being infected with a cold by sleeping as much as possibleDsleeping more and better helps regulate the symptom mediators62Whats the best title of the passage?AThe Relationship Between Virus and Cold BHow to Sleep Well CGood Sleep Helps Fight a Cold DThe More the Sleep, the Better Your BodyCThe Happiest Cities On EarthIf youre looking for a cheery destination for your next vacation, consider these four spots and get ready to take notes on how to really live the good lifeSingaporeWith one of the highest population densities（密度）in the world and residents known for being workaholics, its hard to imagine the city-state of Singapore having one of the happiest populations on earthAnd yet in a recent survey, 95% of them said they were either very happy or quite happyThey give their city high marks for cleanliness and safetysubways are pristine （洁净的） and unfailingly arrive on time, and police are seen as helpful and good at their jobsWhats more, they feel they can count on their neighboursall 51 million of themArhus, DenmarkThe residents of Arhus cheerfully part with 68% of their income in taxes, knowing that in return they will be guaranteed free healthcare, free daycare, and a top-notch （第一流的） education for their childrenAn energetic city of 300,000 with a lively cultural scene and a diverse number of religions represented, the sense of equality （the range in incomes is narrow）, as well as easy access to the nearby sea and surrounding countryside, make Arhus seem more like a small townSan Luis Obispo, CAAccording to a 2008 Gallup-Healthways study, people who live in San Luis Obispo are more likely than residents of other UScities to smile and experience joy and are less likely to experience pain or depressionAbout 64,000 of the 260,000 people in the greater metropolitan area （都市区）, located halfway between Los Angeles and San Francisco, volunteer at over 11,000 non-profit organizationsFew journeys to work are longer than 10 minutes （one reason its members rank in the upper third for job satisfaction）, so “its easy to be involved,” resident Pierre Rademaker saidBusiness signs are unobtrusive （不显眼的） by law, fewer than 11% of residents smokethe lower rate in the USthere are lots of bike lanes, and the citys plaza draws crowds of people for free concerts on summer FridaysWhats not to love?Monterrey, MexicoThe people of Monterrey dont enjoy high household incomes or access to good healthcareInstead, theres a profound sense of gratitude for the new political freedom enjoyed since the oppressive Institutional Revolutionary Party lost power in 2000the first time in nearly a centuryas well as an emphasis on social life over workAnother reason Monterrey residents may be so happy is their faith in God and family, and their ability to tough it out through bad times“We laugh at sickness, poverty and even death,” says Basanez, a political scientist who lives in Monterrey“We even have a holiday to celebrate deathNovember 2, the Day of the Dead, is one of the biggest holidays of the year”63According to the passage, what do the residents in the four cities have in common? AAll the residents can make great fortunes by working hard BThe residents there are mostly educators CAll the residents enjoy enough material wealth DThe majority of the residents are satisfied with their current life64According to the passage, we can infer that _ Athe people of Singapore expect their neighbours to come to their help when necessaryBthe people of Monterrey even observe ones death on a special day of a yearCthe residents of Arhus happily pay 68% of their income for their childrens education feeDthe people who live in San Luis Obispo have job satisfaction because they can enjoy good working conditions65According to the passage which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?AThe people of Monterrey didnt enjoy political freedom until 2000BThe residents in Singapore feel happy because of its low population densityCThe people of San Luis Obispo can enjoy free concerts in summerDArhus is handy to the seaside and countryside66What can we learn from the underlined part “the sense of equality”?AThe residents of Arhus have no ra
