Ⅰ.阅读理解(对应学生用书第133页) (2012江南十校联考)【逸闻趣事类】
When a Filipino lady is to be married,she will be the busiest person in the scene.She wants her big day to be great and memorable because most Filipinos marry only once.The bride-to be,usually loses weight before her big day because of stress. Those who can afford to pay for a wedding planner are free from worries.But average Filipinos who have no wedding planner have many things to prepare.Most brides start with the small details.
The color of the design
Ladies care particularly about color combinations.They will make sure that the flowers will perfectly match the dresses of the bride’s maids and the flower girls.The small flower worn by the wedding host is in perfect combination with the whole design.
The souvenirs (纪念品)
Most Filipino brides make their own wedding souvenirs to give away to their guests.They will buy the materials and make the souvenirs themselves.They will spend their precious time to make them very attractive to their guests.They will be satisfied when their guests say,“Wow,I like it.”To them,it’s worth the hard work.
Preparing the invitations is a stressful job for the bride and the groom.They will start with the listings of all possible guests.It’s stressful because if their budget is good only for 50 people and the expected guests on the list is 100,there is a problem.Filipinos think their friends and relatives will feel bad if they do not receive an invitation; whether they can attend or not,they are expecting an invitation.Usually,the couple will stretch their budget for the extras just not to disappoint friends and relatives.

(2012淮南市二模)
阅读下面短文,根据所读内容在表格中的空白处填入恰当的单词。 注意:每个空格只填一个单词。
Take a walk
Think that daily walks are exercise for old people?Think again.Taking a fast walk for as little as 30 minutes a day can greatly improve your overall physical health and even have a positive effect on your mental condition.Walking can fit into any guy’s lifestyle and is generally considered as a way to stay in shape.Consider the benefits of walking:
Walking helps you maintain a healthy weight.Since the only real way to lose weight is to increase the amount of calories you burn,the benefits of fast walking for at least 30 minutes a day help you take off pounds.It may not happen so fast if you run three miles a day,but over time you will find yourself in much better shape than if you spend that half an hour sitting on the couch watching TV or at the computer.
Walking strengthens muscles.When you walk,you work your muscles.In fact,walking brings into motion almost as many muscle groups as running or swimming.You will end up getting similar benefits in your muscle tone as well.
Walking helps to reduce stress and calm your emotions.Psychologists have long known that you feel better after a long walk.Getting your body moving lets out endorphins (内啡肤)that help you deal with tension from a long day or a stressful life.If you put a nice walk at the end of an otherwise stressful routine,you will find a lot of mental benefits that you won’t get if you just start to deal with your family responsibilities after a hard day’s work.
Adding a daily walk to your routine is not as interesting a choice as finding a tennis partner for three sets or joining a gym and increasing the latest exercise program.But it is a simple healthy and totally free way to add exercise to your day no matter what your schedule or responsibilities.
