第一節(jié)

　　Since we are social beings, the quality of our lives depends in large measure on our interpersonal relationships. One strength of the human condition is our possibility to give and receive support from one another under stressful (有壓力的) conditions. Social support makes up of the exchange of resources among people based on their interpersonal ties. Those of us with strong support systems appear better able to deal with major life changes and daily problems. People with strong social ties live longer and have better health than those without such ties. Studies over types of illnesses, from depression to heart disease, show that the presence of social support helps people defend themselves against illness, and the absence of such support makes poor health more likely.

　　Social support cushions stress in a number of ways. First, friends, relatives and co-workers may let us know that they value us. Our self-respect is strengthened when we feel accepted by others in spite of our faults and difficulties. Second, other people often provide us with informational support. They help us to define and understand our problems and find solutions to them. Third, we typically find social companionship supportive. Taking part in free-time activities with others helps us to meet our social needs while at the same time distracting (轉(zhuǎn)移注意力) us from our worries and troubles. Finally, other people may give us instrumental support money aid, material resources, and needed services - that reduces stress by helping us resolve and deal with our problems.

56. Interpersonal relationships are important because they can ________

　　A. make people live more easily

　　B. smooth away daily problems

　　C. deal with life changes

　　D. cure types of illnesses

57. The researches show that people's physical and mental health _______

　　A. lies in the social medical care systems which support them

　　B. has much to do with the amount of support they get from others

　　C. depends on their ability to deal with daily worries and troubles

　　D. is related to their courage for dealing with major life changes

58. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word "cushions"?

　　A. takes place of      B. makes up of      C. lessens the effect of     D. gets rid of

59. What is the subject discussed in the text?

第三部分： 閱讀（共兩節(jié)，滿分40分）

第一節(jié)　閱讀理解（共15小題；每小題2分，滿分30分）

         閱讀下面短文，掌握其大意，然后從41~55各題所給的四個選項（A、B、C、D）中，選出最佳選項，并在答題卷上將該項涂黑。

(A)

In 1901, H.G. Wells, an English writer, wrote a book describing a trip to the moon. When the explorers landed on the moon, they discovered that the moon was full of underground cities. They expressed their surprise to the “moon people” they met. In turn, the “moon people” expressed their surprise. “Why,” they asked, “are you traveling to outer space when you don’t even use your inner space?”

H.G. Wells could only imagine travel to the moon. In 1969, human beings really did land on the moon. People today know that there are no underground cities on the moon. However, the question that the “moon people” asked is still an interesting one. A growing number of scientists are seriously thinking about it.

Underground systems are already in place. Many cities have underground car parks. In some cities, such as Tokyo, Seoul and Montreal, there are large underground shopping areas. The “Chunnel”, a tunnel connecting England and France, is now complete.

But what about underground cities? Japan’s Taisei Corporation is designing a network of underground systems, called “Alice Cities”. The designers imagine using surface space for public parks and using underground space for flats, offices, shopping, and so on. A solar dome (太陽能穹頂) would cover the whole city.

Supporters of underground development say that building down rather than building up is a good way to use the earth’s space. The surface, they say, can be used for farms, parks, gardens, and wilderness. H.G. Wells’ “moon people” would agree. Would you?

1. The explorers in H. G. Wells’ story were surprised to find that the“moon people” ___________.     

A. knew so much about the earth            B. understood their language

C. lived in so many underground cities    D. were ahead of them in space technology

2. What does the underlined word “it” (Paragraph 2) refer to?

A. Discovering the moon’s inner space.               B. Using the earth’s inner space.

C. Meeting the“moon people”again.                         D. Traveling to outer space.

3. What sort of underground systems are already here with us?

A. Offices, shopping areas, power stations.  

B. Tunnels, car parks, shopping areas.

C. Gardens, car parks, power stations.      

D. Tunnels, gardens, offices.

4. The word “wilderness” in the last paragraph means___________.

    A. wildlife                                                                  B. poor districts     

C. desert                                                         D. an area that is not allowed to build on

5. What would be the best title for the text?

A. Alice Cities — cities of the future      

B. Space travel with H. G. Wells

C. Enjoy living underground                     

D. Building down, not up
