Pain is an emotional as well as physical response to injury or disease. Intense fear and anxiety arevital immediate responses that eause you to avoid sources of pain whenever possible. Sometimes 。

however. pain persists even when the injury or disease is no longer present. A painful feeling canbecome associated with constant stress, bad memories, or lasting fear.

Medicine is often essential for contolling pain in the short term, but taking painkillers (止痛药)for an extended period ean lead to adiction (上瘾) or serious physical side fleets, ineluding stomach and liver diseases. Your bodly may also build up a tolerance to a dnug so that you get less benefit from it as time goes on.

Although you should always seek medical adlvice if pain is severe or continues for a long time, you ean also use teehniques to control it. Mind-body techniques ean reduce or help control pain- with no risk of side fleets. Most people relax with deep. controlled breathing to reduce the tension that comes with pain. Try lying quietly in a dark room; breathe in deeply while counting to 10, hold the breath for a moment, and then exhale slowly for a count of I0. Continue this for 10 - 20 minutes.

Shifting your altention often reduces pain's severity (严重程度). Try tuming your attention away from the painful area, focusing instead on a non-painful part of your body. Or, imagine the pain as a big ball of enengy outside your bodly, and make it smaller in your mind. Train yourself to replace the thoughts like“I can't stop this pain," with positive ones such as "This pain is only temporary.”

In this practice, you merely acknowledge the pain by aetively fighting it, instead of alowing it to .dominate your thoughts.

Passage Two

Sweden is aiming for a zero-waste society. This takes the country's reeyeling revolution one step further-from putting rubbish in landills (废物填埋场), to reeyeling to reusing.

It is early momning. Before 31-year-old Daniel Silberstein goes to his ofice, he has separated out his empty cartons (纸箱) into the containers in the shared basement. It is just some of the two tons of rubbish he and his fellow Swedes recycle per person each year.

"The thing about reyling is that it' s quite aulomatic. I's baically a thing you

naturally do,"Silberstein says.

"A big pert of it is hinking about what kind of enironment our daugher is going to have in lhe future. 1 ama kid of the 1990% and not reyeling is kind of abnormal for us, but for my daughter's generation it will hopefully go even further. She already thinks it's fun to push the cartons int the reeyeling station when I take her there. ”

The main problem today is that many used products are hard to deal with. A new movement is gaining ground that seeks to ensure everything can be reused somehow. In 2017 the Swedish govemment reformed the tax system so that people could get cheaper repairs on used goods, and a Swedlish elothing company operates a reling projet where customers get a discouont upon handing in old clothes.

Meanwhile, scientists are working on finding new clohing materials that are less damaging t0 the environment.

For Daniel Silberstein and his daughter Charlie, the future begins at home.“Friends shouldn 't throw nubbish on the ground," Charlie says, and her dad agrees:“In the future we'll loo at the old style of reeyeling the way we look at fossil (化石) fuels and landfll sites today. It will all seem crazy.

40. What is the main reason for Silberstein to practice recyeling?

A. To protect the environment.

B. To save more money.

C. To obey the local rules.

D. To follow his fellows.

答案：A

41. What is the main problem for Sweden to build a zero-waste society?

A. The younger generation does not like used goods.

B. Rbbih is ofen thrown on the gound.

C. May ued godo are dfc 10 hademc

D. The older generation is not used to recycling.

答案：C

42. Which of the following is true about Sweden' s recyeling revolution?

A. The govemment encourages people to store used goods.

Passage Five

Health eare exets have long drawn atention to the poblems of eating too much sal. There is strong evidence that a diet ligh in salt can lead to raised blood pesure. Since high blood presure isa major factor in heart disease, it makes sense to cut down on the salt people eat.

In the past, food contained very litle salt, and people added i to their food at the table. Very few pecople add salt this way nowadays. However, the salt content of processed foods has gone up dramatically. It' s now estimated that over thee-quarters of the salt in the average diet comes from processed foods, eaten withoul our being aware of it.

Salt is added to food parly to extend shelf-life, but more often it's dropped in to make up for the flavor lost in the manufacturing process. This is especially true of ready meals and highly processed foods, but it's also true of such basic food as biscuits, soups, and even bread. Much mass-produced bread, for instance, contains so much salt-half a gram for every hundred grams of bread- -that it' s ofcially classified by the UK govemment as high- salt food. Salt has to be added to the bread because fast production cuts down the time for the flavor to develop. Without added salt, the bread would taste like paper.

In the UK, the govermment has launched a campaign to cut down on the salt people eat. The UK Food Standards Ageney argues that nearly hal of the UK's population eat too much sal- 9.Sg a day on average. Its aim is to bring down the average to 6g a day. The idea is to cut the salt content in 85 key food categories such as bread, meat, and cakes.

52. What is the main reason for reducing salt in food?

A.To improve the flavor of food,

B.To derease the time for procesing food.

C. To extend the shel-life of food.

D.To protect people against heart diseases.

答案：D

53. What can be infered about people' s use of salt in the past!?

A. People used salt to control blood pressure.

B. People ate much salt in their average diet.

C. People were clear about the harmful flfet of salt.

D. Pople da' cau s much sal s we do lay.

答案：D

54. Which of lhe flowig is casied as high-sal food by the UK government?

A. Mass-produced bread.

B. Light-cooked meat.

C. Swee biscuits.

D. Fresh vegetables.

答案：A

55. What is the passage mainly about?

B. Sal and people' s liestste

A. Salt and food flavor.
