20．History books tell us that the city of Rome was set up in 152B．C．It's a fact，however，that by 100A．D．，Rome was the centre of a big empire．It was from Syria in the east to Spain in the west，from Britain in the north to Africa in the south．All or part of 27of today's countries were included in the Roman Empire．All of their people were ruled by one government，that of Rome．All educated peope spoke the same language，Latin．And one of the empire's outposts was called Londinium．This unimportant town would later become London，England，and the centre of another empire．
The Roman Empire came to and end about 1，500years ago．Yet in some ways it is still with us．Take the letters you are reading，for example，English，like many other languages，uses the Roman alphabet （字母） while also borrowing many words．The laws of many European countries are based on ancient Roman laws．Roman ruins are seen throughout Europe，North Africa，and the Middle East．In some places，Roman roads and water courses are still in use．To this day，a European in North Africa is likely to be called"Roumi"-Roman．Even modern place names are often after Ancient Rome．Both Greece and Germany have the names given by the Romans rather than the names that their own people first called them．
56．The main idea of Paragraph 2is that Roman culture isC．
A．dead and gone                 
B．based completely on language
C．still part of the present           
D．unimportant to history
57．What happened first？C
A．Londinium was an outpost．
B．The Roman Empire fell apart．
C．The city of Rome was founded．
D．London became the centre of an empire．
58．Which of the following is NOT true？D
A．In Europe people still use Roman names in some places．
B．Londinium became the centre of an empire after Roman Empire fell apart．
C．We may see some remaining parts of Roman Empire in North Africa．
D．In Europe 27countries had the same laws．

分析 本文講述了羅馬帝國時期幅員遼闊，很多地方都被羅馬政府統(tǒng)治著，直到現(xiàn)在羅馬文化依舊存在于現(xiàn)在生活的方方面面．

解答 56．C  主旨大意題． 結(jié)合文章第二段第二句 Yet in some ways it is still with us 以及下文中各個國家和羅馬文化之間存在的某些聯(lián)系可知，羅馬文化依舊存在于現(xiàn)在生活的方方面面．故正確答案為C．
57．C 推理判斷題．根據(jù)全文，結(jié)合第一段第二句 by 100 A．D．，Rome was the centre of a big empire 和第一段最后兩句 one of the empire's outposts （邊區(qū)村落） was called Londinium．This unimportant town would later become London，England，and the centre of another empire 和第二段第一句 The Roman Empire came to and end about 1，500 years ago 可知，最先發(fā)生的事情是羅馬的建立．故正確答案為C．
58．D 細(xì)節(jié)理解題 根據(jù)第一段All or part of 27of today's countries were included in the Roman Empire．All of their people were ruled by one government，that of Rome．可知，曾經(jīng)歐洲的27個國家的全部或部分地由羅馬統(tǒng)治，但并非說明歐洲27個國家有相同的法律，故答案D表述有誤，選D．

點評 閱讀理解題測試考生在閱讀基礎(chǔ)上的邏輯推理能力，要求考生根據(jù)文章所述事件的邏輯關(guān)系，對未說明的趨勢或結(jié)局作出合理的推斷；或根據(jù)作者所闡述的觀點理論，對文章未涉及的現(xiàn)象、事例給以解釋．考生首先要仔細(xì)閱讀短文，完整了解信息，準(zhǔn)確把握作者觀點．

5．Five Ways to Control Your Anxiety
How can you find some enjoyment and keep your anxiety in control？Try the following five steps for a less anxious you．
Stop comparing yourself to others．When you compare your life to others'，you are giving up your power．People have success or failures at different points in their lives．You might think others have better lives，but you don't have the full story．Next time you begin to compare yourself to someone else，tell yourself this，"I only compare me to me．"（66）G
Be grateful．Gratitude is the secret to a happier，less anxious you．（67）F When you practice gratitude，you start training your brain to pay attention to all the wonderful things about your life and doing so improves your mood little by little．
Forget perfect．Going after perfection sets you up to feel defeated．Accept that you will have days that are far from perfect and learn to laugh at the funny things that go wrong at the wrong time．（68）A
Move your body．（69）C I'm sure you'll feel better--especially if you exercise regularly．Doing exercise will give you a sense of achievement that you can use to deal with other difficulties in your life．
Connection with other people．If you struggle with anxiety，you may not feel like putting yourself into social situations，but isolating（使孤立）yourself socially is the worst thing you can do．Connecting with others can help you realize everyone has struggles and that people are there for you．（70）D Connection can help you improve your mood．
A．Life is so much more enjoyable when you expect less of it．
B．Make sure you aren't going around trying to please everyone．
C．It is scientifically proved that exercise can improve your mood．
D．See a friend，call a family member or just smile at strangers passing by．
E．Pen and paper can provide you with a special place to express your feelings．
F．When you take time to enjoy all the good things，you can't help but feel good．
G．Only by competing with yourself to be a better you can you get where you want to be．

People have kept fish in man-made habitats for at least 4，500years．The ancient Sumerians，Egyptians，and Romans kept fish in aquariums．（39）AMan-made ponds filled with fish later became popular in European gardens．The trend spread to North America in 1800s．In 1853the zoological Society of London，England，opened the first public aquarium．（40）B More people also began keeping fish in small aquariums at home．

9．You know the saying"You're as young as you feel．"Well，there may be some truth to that，according to researchers at Harvard and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology．
Ellen Langer，a Harvard psychologist who studies how the mind influences the body，and colleagues reviewed the scientific literature for evidence that a person's perception of their age might influence their health．They published their results in the journal Perspectives on Psychological Science．
In one study that Langer led，47 women had their hair done．The women who thought their new hairdos made them look younger did look younger to objective observers，who were shown before-and-after pictures．The women who thought they looked younger also showed a drop in blood pressure．Another study involving 4，421 men found that those who became bald （禿頂）at a relatively young age were more likely to get cancer and heart disease than men who did not．Similarly，another study involving 2，017 men found that those who lost their hair early were more likely to develop heart disease．"We believe that the feelings associated with being older than one's real age account for some of these health outcomes，"the researchers wrote．
The researchers also described studies that found that women who had children later in life were more likely to be healthier and live longer than those who had children early，which they attributed to the fact that these mothers tend to spend more time with younger women．Similarly，people who marry younger partners tend to live longer than those who marry older partners，according to other studies．
Taken together，the research"supports the general mind-body hypothesis （假說）that when a younger mind is prepared，a younger body can accompany it．"While the mechanism （機(jī)制）remains unclear，the researchers figured that suggestions associated with aging can"make one unconsciously or consciously aware of old age and set in motion a series of physiological processes that can have real effects on short-term and long-term health．"

46．The underlined word"perception"in Paragraph 2 meansA．
A．view           
B．a(chǎn)ppearance              
C．influence               
D．creation
47．Which of the following statements is true according to Paragraph 3？C
A．Blood pressure is highly related to hairdos．
B．Getting cancer or heart disease is the cause of hair losing．
C．Feeling older than real age may be tied to health problems．
D．The women who love hairdos look younger than those who don't．
48．It can be inferred from Paragraph 4 thatD．
A．a(chǎn) younger mother is more likely to live longer
B．the younger one of a couple lives much longer
C．often  staying with younger people can benefit peopled health
D．people who want to live longer need to marry young
41．The passage mainly tells us thatD．
A．Getting bald too early is not good for health
B．Women had better give birth later in their life
C．Feeling younger to a couple is very important to their health
D．People's feeling of their age may have an effect on their own health
