（河北省正定中學(xué)2010高三下學(xué)期第二次月考B篇）

 In today's fast paced, high stress world people are working longer hours than ever, and often exhaust themselves at day's end in front of the television to relax enough to begin again in the morning．However, television watching, for most people, does not really lower stress．Studies show that TV viewing more than an hour or so actually creates stress and, especially in women, may lead to the blues．Most individuals are unaware that doing some exercise after work makes them more energetic since it increases energy levels．

       Wise use of free time does not mean getting an advanced degree, although the mental encouragement gained through education is unbeatable in keeping your mind active．Learning new things nearly always adds a spark to your daily life, especially if it is a favorite topic, such as sport, fashion, or art．Also, look through your bookstore or library to find books on your interests．Try to replace a half hour TV watching with reading．

       It is reported that in the United States recently, many individuals have as few as two good friends．Long work hours and car commute act to separate people from each other．This separation is deadly．Find ways to meet people at the end of the day and on weekends．Often this can be best done by combining activities, such as by joining a walking group to get both exercise and companionship．Taking a class will lift your spirits and allow you to meet others with similar interests．Hobbies are great for reducing stress and provide another opportunity for social interaction．

       Using your free time to aid your health may include these elements and many more, such as going to concerts and spending time with family．Overall, the key is to spend less free time being passive．The best ways to use free time are to be mentally and physically active, spend some time outdoors, and interact with other people on a regular basis．

45．What can we learn from the passage?

       A．Watching television may cause women to feel depressed．

       B．Finding interests and hobbies in common means taking a class．

       C．Going to concerts is the best way to make you mentally active．

       D．Getting an advanced degree in education always lights up your life．

46．What does the underlined word "commute" in Paragraph 3 probably mean?

       A．The arrangement to work every day．   B．The journey to work every day．

       C．The communication between people．   D．The separation between people．

47．Which would be the best title for the passage?

       A．Live a Happy and Healthy Life             B．Relax Yourself in Various Ways

       C．Spend Your Free Time Wisely               D．Interact With Others Outdoors

B

A man came home from work late, tired and irritated（生氣的, 不耐煩的）, to find his 5-year-old son waiting for him at the door.

“Daddy, may I ask you a question?”

“Yeah sure, what is it？”replied the man.

“Daddy, how much do you make an hour?”

“That’s none of your business. Why do you ask such a thing?” the man said angrily.

“I just want to know. Please tell me, how much do you make an hour?” pleaded the little boy.

“If you must know, I make $ 20 an hour.”

“Oh, ” the little boy replied, with his head down. Looking up, he said, “Daddy, may I please borrow $ 10?”

The father was furious（生氣的）, “If the only reason you asked that is so you can borrow some money to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense, then you march yourself straight to your room and go to bed. Think about why you are being so selfish. I work hard every day for such childish behavior.” The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door. The man sat down and, started to get even angrier about the little boy’s questions. How dare he ask such questions only to get some money? After about an hour or so, the man had calmed down, and started to think: Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that $ 10 and he really didn’t ask for money very often. The man went to the door of the little boy’s room and opened the door. “Are you asleep, son?” He asked.

“No, daddy, I’m awake,” replied the boy.

“I’ve been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier,” said the man. “It’s been a long day and I took out my aggravation（怒氣）on you. Here’s the $10 you asked for.”

The little boy sat straight up, smiling. “Oh, thank you, daddy！”He yelled. Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled out some crumpled（皺皺巴巴的）up bills. The man, seeing that the boy already had money, started to get angry again. The little boy slowly counted out his money, then looked up at his father.

“Why do you want more money if you already have some?” the father grumbled.

“Because I didn’t have enough, but now I do,” the little boy replied.

“Daddy, I have $ 20 now. Can I buy an hour of your time? Please come home early tomorrow.

I would like to have dinner with you.”

B

One of Britain's bravest women told yesterday how she helped to catch suspected （可疑的） police killer David Bieber -- and was thanked with flowers by the police. It was also said that she could be in line for a share of up to ￡30,000 reward money.

Vicki Brown, 30, played a very important role in ending the nationwide manhunt. Vicki, who has worked at the Royal Hotel for four years, told of her terrible experience when she had to steal into Bieber's bedroom and to watch him secretly. Then she waited alone for three hours while armed police prepared to storm the building.

 She said: “I was very nervous. But when I opened the hotel door and saw 20 armed policemen lined up in the car park I was so glad they were there.”

The alarm had been raised because Vicki became suspicious （懷疑） of the guest who checked in at 3 pm the day before New Year's Eve with little luggage and wearing sunglasses and a hat pulled down over his face. She said: “He didn't seem to want to talk too much and make any eye contact.” Vicki, the only employee on duty, called her bosses Margaret, 64, and husband Stan McKale, 65, who phoned the police at 11 pm.

Officers from Northumbria Police called Vicki at the hotel in Dunston, Gateshead, at about 11:30 pm to make sure that this was the wanted man. Then they kept in touch by phoning Vicki every 15 minutes.

“It was about ten past two in the morning when the phone went again and a policeman said ‘Would you go and make yourself known to the armed officers outside?’ My heart missed a beat.”

Vicki quietly showed eight armed officers through passages and staircases to the top floor room and handed over the key.

“I realized that my bedroom window overlooks that part of the hotel, so I went to watch. I could not see into the man's room, but I could see the passage. The police kept shouting at the man to come out with his hands showing. Then suddenly he must have come out because they shouted for him to lie down while he was handcuffed .”

45. The underlined phrase “be in line for” （ paragraph 1 ） means __

 A. get                 B. be paid             C. ask for             D. own

46. Vicki became suspicious of David Bieber because __________.

A. the police called her

 B. he looked very strange

 C. he came to the hotel with little luggage

 D. he came to the hotel the day before New Year's Eve

47. David Bieber was most probably handcuffed in ________.

 A. the passage    B. the man's room      C. Vicki's bedroom   D. the top floor room

48. The whole event probably lasted about _______ hours from the moment Bieber came to the hotel to the arrival of some armed officers.

 A. 6                   B. 8               C. 11                   D. 14
