A
People who eat chocolate regularly tend to be thinner, new research suggests. The findings come from a study of nearly 1，000 US people that looked at diet, calorie intake and body mass index (BMI)—a measure of obesity.
It found those who ate chocolate a few times a week were, on average, slimmer than those who ate it occasionally. Even though chocolate is loaded with calories, it contains components that may favour weight loss rather than fat synthesis (合成), scientists believe.
Despite boosting calorie intake, regular chocolate consumption was related to lower BMI in the study, which is published in Archives of Internal Medicine.
The link remained even when other factors, like how much exercise individuals did, were taken into account. According to the researchers, there is only one chance in 100 that their findings could be explained by chance alone.
Lead author Dr Beatrice Golomb, from the University of California at San Diego, said, “Our findings appear to add to a body of information suggesting that the composition of calories, not just the number of them, matters for determining their impact on weight.”
This is not the first time scientists have suggested that chocolate may be healthy for us. Other studies have claimed chocolate may be good for the heart. Consumption of certain types of chocolate has been linked to some favourable changes in blood pressure, insulin sensitivity and cholesterol level. And chocolate, particularly dark chocolate, does contain antioxidants (抗氧化剂) which can help to wipe away harmful free radicals—unstable chemicals that can damage our cells.
However, while there's no harm in allowing yourself a treat like chocolate now and again, eating too much might be harmful because it often contains a lot of sugar and fat too. And if you are looking to change your diet, you are likely to benefit most from eating more fresh fruit and vegetables.
1．What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 1 refer to?
A．The study. B．The findings.
C．The researchers. D．The 1，000 US people.
2．The results of the research indicate that what matters the most is________．
A．when we eat chocolate
B．how much chocolate we eat
C．what type of chocolate we eat
D．how often we eat chocolate
3．According to Dr Beatrice Golomb, the factors that influence weight include________．
A．the number and the components of antioxidants
B．the quality and the number of calories
C．the quality and the composition of calories
D．the number and the composition of calorie
4．We can infer from the passage that both insulin and cholesterol________．
A．do harm to humans' health
B．affect humans' weight
C．have impact on humans' heart
D．contain certain antioxidant
B
Slightly larger than the North Island, and much less populated, the South Island of New Zealand is well­known for its fantastic scenery and wide range of outdoor activities. Among the many places you could visit, here are some of the best known.
Marlborough Wine Region

The largest wine area in New Zealand (producing more than half of New Zealand's wine), Marlborough is home to New Zealand's most famous wine, made from the sauvignon blanc (长相思) grape. Take a car and spend a few days visiting some of Marlborough's wineries (酿酒厂)．Most have wines available for tasting and a number also have their own restaurant or cafe, where you can enjoy the wine alongside.
Kaikoura

The charming background of Kaikoura is the snow­capped mountain range which seems to come all the way down to the sea. Among the many activities here—fishing, hiking, kayaking (划独木舟) and even bird watching—the one not to miss is a boat trip on the bay to see the whales. Kaikoura is in fact one of the best places in the world for whale watching.
Queenstown

On any list of places to visit in New Zealand, Queenstown should be at the top. This alpine (高山的) town has things to do for all seasons, and impressive scenery that is among the country's very finest. Located on the shores of Lake Whakatipu, there is a full range of water as well as land­based activities. In the winter Queenstown is the place for the best skiing in New Zealand.

Milford Sound

Mitre Peak is a mountain which seems to rise out of the waters of Milford Sound and is one of the most photographed and recognizable New Zealand sights. Milford Sound lies in the southwest corner of the South Island. The water is surrounded on either side by rock faces that rise at least 1，200 meters (3，900 feet) and after rain hundreds of waterfalls appear, some up to a thousand meters long.
It is no wonder that Milford Sound was described by Rudyard Kipling as the “Eighth Wonder of the World”．

Paula Lucas dreamed of being able to help battered (受虐待的) women living overseas. In 2001, she started Americans Overseas Domestic Violence Crisis Center (AODVCC)．Today they bring one family safely home to the United States each month.
In 1999, Paula Lucas stood before an officer at the American Embassy in Abu Dhabi and detailed the abuses she and her three children had suffered at the hands of her Lebanese­born husband. But she was trapped：In the United Arab Emirates (UAE), beating up your wife and kids is not illegal. To her horror, the officer told her the embassy could not protect her.“I was naive (天真的)，” says Lucas, who grew up in California.“I thought my American freedoms would travel with me.”
Facing huge difficulties, Lucas plotted her and her sons' escape. While her husband was out of town, she forged (伪造) his permission for their travel (a requirement) and a check in his name (she had no access to her own money) and stole back to the States. She settled in Oregon, living off welfare checks, and, after her husband tracked her down, fought a long battle, which she won.
All the while, she nursed a dream：to help other battered women living overseas. In 2001, she started AODVCC with help from a few small contributions from donors. In 2010, the Department of Justice stepped up with funding. With a free hotline in 175 countries, the organization now supports hundreds of American families in more than 67 countries. Today, at least one family returns safely to the United States each month with Lucas's help.
“We need to make women aware of the problems if they find themselves in an abusive situation，” says Lucas, now remarried.“I was one of the lucky ones.”
To read more about AODVCC, visit 866uswomen.org.

D
You’ve flown halfway around the world; you’ve sniffed out this place that nobody in Falongland or Thailand seems to have ever heard of; so what on earth is there to do here? You consider this question as you sink into an old wooden beach chair that holds you above the sand.
It was a long journey from Bangkok to Huaplee. By the time you found the bus station and got yourself sorted out, it took almost as long as the flight from Falongland.
Huaplee is located just south of Hua Hin, about two hundred kilometres from Bangkok, down the west side of the Gulf of Thailand. Not many tourists find this place, and the ones that do wonder if finding it has been their purpose all along.
There’s an apparent laziness that surrounds you here. It’s what this place offers, and it’s free of charge. The small waves that tap the shoreline seem to slow everything down. You settle into your beach chair in preparation for a long rest. You sit there and watch the sea.
It’s early afternoon, so the cook comes out and asks what you’d like to eat this evening. Before long he’s rushed off to the market to buy the ingredients for whatever it was that you ordered—every meal fresh and to order. No menu here.
There is no poolside noise here but just that wonderfully warm, clear blue sea. There’s no street noise. The only sounds are the murmurs of nature.
For now you just count your blessings (福祉), listing them in the sand with your toe (脚趾). You don’t have to worry about being late for work. You don’t have to do anything.
The beach to your right stretches off to the horizon (地平线), slowly narrowing to nothingness only to re-emerge again on your left, now steadily widening until it covers the chair beneath you. Sand to your left and sand to your right; it’s unbroken, endless. No start, no end, just sand, sun, and peace. Step off it, and you re-enter the world of traffic, stress, work, and hurry.
Normally you’re the type who can’t sit still for more than ten minutes, but you’re on Huaplee Lazy Beach now and, in the right frame of mind, it stretches all the way around the world.
“How could it take me so long to find it?” you wonder.
13. When the author first went to Huaplee Beach, ______.
A. he found it unworthwhile B. he failed to sort himself out
C. he became sensitive to smell D. he had difficulty in finding it
14. In the author’s opinion, a tourist can enjoy Huaplee Beach most when he ______.
A. sits in a beach chair B. forgets his daily routine
C. plans a detailed schedule D. draws pictures in the sand
15. What does the author imply by his question at the end of the passage?
A. He shouldn’t have counted his blessings.
B. He should have understood the wonder of nature.
C. He shouldn’t have spent so much time on the trip.
D. He should have come to the place earlier.

第二节　(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
We spend so much time waiting to be loved, hoping love will find us, and looking for that special love.__16__ To be loved, you should love and respect yourself as much as you do to others. In order to love someone, you should love yourself.
Stop comparing yourself to others. Everyone on the earth is unique. We all have different gifts. When you compare yourself to others for what they have, whether it is a car, a house, or a job, it makes you feel bad about yourself. Really be grateful about everything you have.__17__
Practice receiving love. To truly love is to be able to receive it. When someone loves you, does some kind deeds to you, or says kind words, accept it. Allow yourself to feel the love that has come your way. Know that you are worthy of love.__18__ You give yourself a chance to learn more about yourself that you are lovable. You give someone a joy of giving by loving you.
__19__ Write about your experiences, good and bad. When you write down good experiences, allow yourself to feel those feelings. When you remember bad experiences, allow yourself to feel self­compassion. Compassion is not self­pity, but rather willingness to accept one's own pain and regret.
Stop trying to be perfect.__20__ Always do your best, but not reaching perfection is NOT failure. Just follow all the steps above and don't let anyone's expectations of you put any pressure on you.
A．Keep a diary.
B．Praise yourself.
C．Do not feel guilty about it.
D．Gratitude keeps your heart open to love.
E．Unfortunately, that's not usually how life works.

When our restaurant business failed, we headed north in a camping truck to Texas, hoping to have a “fresh start”.
At the 21 of Palo Duro Canyon (峡谷) State Park, I 22 a job advertisement hiring park hosts. The position offered a 23 , permanent campsite in the park, and 24 , the hosts served as a link between the park’s guests and the rangers (护林人). It was the perfect solution: a rent-free place to reorganize our lives. We entered the park and I made an 25 for the following day.
The park was 26 , so it took us some time to find an available site. That evening, as we finished our dinner, my wife saw two large skunks (臭鼬) walking toward our table. We 27 climbed onto the table and, for the next four hours, waited for them to 28 our camp.
Having survived that night, we were 29 that everything else would be all right. The next day we met with the
