3.(7.5分)If you have to describe(描述)yourself to someone else,what will you say?It can be difficult to see yourself from the outside,but knowing who you are,or being self﹣aware,can help you understand feelings and make friendships closer.
Self﹣awareness means having a good understanding of our own character.If you're self﹣aware,you may know that you love playing an instrument because you do well in it,and music makes you happy,or that you like watching TV better on your own because it helps you relax.
Knowing what you like and dislike,what you are good or bad at allows you to make better decisions about friendships,schoolwork and build confidence.The WHO (World Health Organization)says self﹣awareness is one of ten important life skills that help young people live healthier and happier lives.Being self﹣aware doesn't mean only thinking of yourself.By understanding your own feelings,you will better understand other people too.
How do you learn to be self﹣aware?It is a good way to ask questions.Ask yourself questions that start with"What"instead of"Why".For example,if you don't understand why you keep arguing with a friend,ask yourself what you disagree on instead of why you're arguing.
Learning to be more self﹣aware is a skill.You learn it as you grow.So be bold and try out new things,like playing a new sport or listening to different kinds of music.Don't be afraid to dislike something—discovering what you don't like is a key part of learning more about yourself.

4.(7.5分)In Lhasa,the capital of Tibet(西藏)China,stands a great palace—Potala Palace.The palace built by Songtsen Gampo to honor Princess Wencheng makes both the Han people and the Tibetans think of a beautiful story that happened 1,300 years ago.

As they reached Lhasa,Tibetans warmly welcomed the Chinese princess to her new home—Potala Palace,a palace with Tang's style.Songtsen Gampo even began to learn Chinese language.He did all these to make less the homesickness of his wife.And with her knowledge from books and her careful watching,Princess Wencheng made suggestions to her husband but never tried to make him do anything.

Not only is laughter good for the emotion,it is also good for the brain and can help improve your memory.(3) This helps you to learn more and be more creative.So,go ahead and have a good laugh.

Too much stress has a bad effect on your body,especially the brain.If you let stress stay,it can destroy your memory.So,stay away from being too stressed.If you are feeling a little stressed,go outside and take a little walk around. (5)

(2)细节理解题。根据Gampo was a hero.(甘布是一位英雄。)For the peace with Tang,he once again sent his man to Tang to ask for marriage and succeeded.(为了与唐和平,他再次派自己的人到唐求婚,并成功了。)可知,松赞干布是一位和平英雄。故选B。

【解答】(1)考查序数词。句意:作为世界上第一个国家公园,黄石以其野生动物而闻名。one"一个",first"第一",结合空前的定冠词the可知,此处应填序数词first。故填first。
(2)考查形容词。句意:熊可能是公园里最著名的动物。根据Yellowstone is famous for its wildlife.(黄石以其野生动物而闻名。)可知,此处指"熊可能是公园里最著名的动物",well known"著名的",well的最高级为best。故填best。
(3)考查名词。句意:虽然它们重达300公斤,但它们可以以每小时64公里的速度奔跑,也是优秀的游泳者。swim"游泳",动词,根据句意可知,此处指"游泳者",swimmer"游泳者",they"它们"是复数,所以此处用名词复数形式。故填swimmers。
(4)考查冠词。句意:当我走出树林时,景色太棒了,我完全被它吸引住了。根据I walked through a dark forest.(我走过了一片黑暗的森林。)可知,此处特指前面提到的森林,所以应用定冠词the。故填the。
(5)考查动词。句意:我拿出相机拍摄了这美丽的景色。take"拿",结合前文可知,该句时态为一般过去时,所以动词用过去式took。故填took。
