• 2．Starting the day on an egg could keep your blood pressure under control，research suggests．Scientists have shown that eggs produce proteins with a function similar to that of powerful blood pressure-lowering drugs．
     The research，from the University of Alberta in Canada，showed that when eggs conic in contact with stomach enzymes （酶） they produce a protein that acts in the same way as Ace inhibitors，but more work is needed to show the effects outside a lab and in the human body．
     Earlier this month，British researchers declared that，contrary to popular beliefs，it's healthy to go to work on an egg．They concluded that the type of cholesterol （膽固醇） found in eggs has little effect on increasing heart disease risks．
     Researcher Professor Bruce Griffin，from the University of Surrey，said，"The wrong beliefs linking egg eating to high blood cholesterol and heart disease must be corrected．The amount of fat in our diet has an effect on blood cholesterol that is several times greater than the relatively small amounts of cholesterol found in eggs．The UK public do not need to be limiting the number of eggs they eat．They can be encouraged to include them in a healthy diet as they are one of nature's most nutritious foods．"
     The British Heart Foundation dropped its three-egg-a-week limit long ago．However，almost half of Britons believe the limit still applies．
  
  （1）From the text we know that Ace inhibitors are

  ．
  A．a(chǎn) kind of protein
  B．a(chǎn) kind of food
  C．a(chǎn) kind of medicine
  D．a(chǎn) kind of illness
  （2）According to what Professor Bruce said，eggs

  ．
  A．a(chǎn)re the most nutritious food
  B．can be included in a healthy diet
  C．have no effect on blood cholesterol
  D．a(chǎn)re forbidden to be eaten in the UK
  （3）We can infer from the text that

  ．
  A．stomach enzymes mixed with eggs can cure heart diseases
  B．drugs to lower blood pressure will be replaced by eating eggs
  C．most Britons agree the three-egg-a-week limit should be dropped
  D．a(chǎn)bout 50% of Britons think eating an egg a day is bad for their health
  （4）The text is meant to

  ．
  A．to introduce a medicine made from eggs
  B．to introduce scientific findings about eggs
  C．to tell people how to lower their blood pressure
  D．to advise people to eat as many eggs as possible

• 3．Shakespeare，more perhaps than any other writer，made full use of the greatest resources of the English language.Most of us use about five thousand words in our normal employment of English；Shakespeare in his works used about twentyfive thousand！There is probably no better way for a foreigner to appreciate the richness and variety of the English language than by studying the various ways in which Shakespeare uses it.Such a study is well worth the effort，even though some aspects of English usage，and the meaning of many words，have changed since Shakespeare's day.
     However，it is surprising that we should know comparatively（相對地） little about the life of the greatest English author.We know that Shakespeare was born in 1564 in StratfordonAvon，and that he died there in 1616.He almost certainly attended the grammar school in the town，but of this we cannot be sure.We know that he was married there in 1582 to Anne Hathaway and that he had three children.We know that he spent much of his life in London writing his masterpieces.But this is almost all that we do know.
     However，what is important about Shakespeare's life is not its details but its products，the plays and the poems.For many years scholars have been trying to add a few facts about Shakespeare's life to the small number we already possess and for an equally long time critics（批評） have been theorizing（理論化） about the plays.Sometimes，indeed，it seems that the poetry of Shakespeare will disappear under the great mass of comment that has been written upon it.
     Fortunately，this is not likely to happen.Shakespeare's people have long delighted not just the English but lovers of literature everywhere，and will continue to do so after the scholars and critics and all their works have been forgotten.
  （1）What's Paragraph 1 mainly about？

  
  A．The great varieties in writing styles.
  B．The great length of Shakespeare's works.
  C．The richness of the content in Shakespeare's works.
  D．The rich English language used by Shakespeare in his works.
  （2）According to the passage，which of the following remains uncertain about Shakespeare？

  
  A．His date of birth.
  B．His marriage.
  C．His life in the grammar school.
  D．His date of death.
  （3）What does the last sentence in Paragraph 3 mean？

  
  A．People don't think the poetry of Shakespeare good any more.
  B．People pay more attention to the comment than the poetry of Shakespeare.
  C．People can't read the poetry of Shakespeare any more.
  D．The comment is printed on the poetry of Shakespeare.
  （4）"Shakespeare's people" in Paragraph 4 refers to

  ．
  A．the characters in Shakespeare's works
  B．the people living in Shakespeare's day
  C．the readers of Shakespeare's works
  D．the people whose native language is English

七選五（5*2.5=12.5）

• 4．How do we rid ourselves of the negative（消極的） thoughts and return to a place of peace and acceptance？Read on for some expert-guided tips.
     First，don't suppress（抑制） the negative thought."Research shows that it's important not to suppress negative thoughts as this only makes it worse. （1）

  Then，select a positive thought or visual to engage with in place of the negative thought that you set free，"Dr.Carla Marie Manly，and author of Joy from Fear，" tells She Knows.
     Don't forget to breathe."Close your eyes and breathe in for a count of four；then breathe out slowly to the count of four.When worries and stress begin to rise，be kind to yourself. （2）

  A worried mind gets very calm when it's focused on breathing rather than worrying，" says Manly.
     （3）

  "Just because you have a thought doesn't mean it's true.When you notice you're being hard on yourself or thinking very negatively，take a step back and question the thought you're having，" suggests Touroni. "（4）

  Are you jumping to conclusions？"
     Try a positive message mantra（咒語）.When negative thoughts get a hold on you，Manly recommends focusing on a positive message or mantra that feels strong and calming for you. "For example，your mantra might be，'All will be well.（5）

  ' Manly suggests keeping a copy of your mantra in your wallet，on your mirror，and on your desk for a handy reminder during stressful moments.
  
  A.Things will work out.
  B.Think of a peaceful image instead.
  C.Don't believe everything you think.
  D.And then pause to relax and breathe.
  E.Is there any evidence to support this？
  F.Can you trace back to where this all started？
  G.Instead，notice the negative thought and then let it float away.
