第一节 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Is there a connection between music and language According to recent studies, the answer is yes: Music improves certain language abilities in the brain. Here are two examples:
Music and hearing
A study from Northwestern University shows that playing a musical instrument can improve a person's hearing ability. As a part of the study, two groups of people listened to a person talking in a noisy room. The people in the first group were musicians, while those in the second group had no musical training. The musicians were able to hear the talking person more clearly.
Musicians hear better, says study leader Nina Kraus, because they learn to pay attention to certain sounds. Think about violinists in an orchestra. When the violinists play with the group, they hear their own instrument and many others, too. But the violinists must listen closely to what they are playing, and ignore the other sounds. In this way, musicians arc able to concentrate on certain sounds, even in a room with lots of noise.
Music and Speech
Gottfried Schlaug, a doctor at Harvard Medical School, works with stroke patients. Because of their illness, these people cannot say their names, addresses, or other information normally. However, they can still sing. Dr. Schlaug was surprised to find that singing words helped his patients to eventually speak. Why does this work Schlaug isn't sure. Music seems to activate different parts of the brain, including the damaged parts. This somehow helps patients use those parts of the brain again.
Understanding the results
Music improves concentration, memory, listening skills, and our overall language abilities.
It can even help sick people get better. Playing an instrument or singing, says Nina Kraus, can help us do better in school and keep our brains sharp as we get older. Music, therefore, is not only enjoyable; it's also good for us in many other ways.
1. What two groups did Nina Kraus study
A. Musicians and non-musicians.
B. Violinists and other musicians.
C. Noisy people and quiet people.
D. Hearing people and deaf people.
2. What is true about Nina Kraus and Gottfried Schlaug
A. They both work at Harvard Medical School.
B. They both play an instrument in an orchestra.
C. They both study how music and the brain are connected.
D. They both help sick people get better.
3. How does Gottfried Schlaug help stroke patients speak
A. By playing music for them.
B. By getting them to sing words.
C. By teaching them to play instruments.
D. By helping them know their names.
B
The first emperor of China, Qin Shihuang, is remembered for the many things he did during his rule. Between 221 and 210 B. C. , he started the construction of the Great Wall of China. He built a large network of roads. He introduced a new writing system, currency, and set of measurements. The emperor also ordered the construction of a huge army of life-sized terracotta soldiers. These, he hoped, would protect his tomb after his death.
Today, the soldiers in Xi'an's terracotta museum are light brown, but they weren't always this color. They began as an army of red, blue, yellow, green, white, and purple. Sadly, most of the colors did not last to the present day. Before their discovery, the clay soldiers were protected by being underground. When they were unearthed, however, the air caused the coating under the paint to fall off. The paint disappeared in less time than it takes to boil an egg, taking with it important pieces of history.
New techniques are now starting to reveal the army's true colors. Archeologists have recently discovered an area with more than a hundred soldiers. Many of these still have their painted features, including black hair, pink faces, and black or brown eyes. Chinese and German researchers have developed a special liquid to help preserve the soldiers, colors. After they find a soldier or other artifact, archeologists spray it with the liquid. They then cover it in plastic.
Archeologists are also finding colors in the dirt around Xi'an's terracotta warriors. It's important not to disturb the dirt, so the colors won't be lost. “We are treating the earth as an artifact, says archeologist Rong Bo, the museum's leading chemist. The next challenge, says Rong, is to find a way to apply the colors to the army again. Once that happens, artists can bring. Emperor Qin's army back to life in full color.
4. What is the passage mainly about
A. How the emperor's tomb was built.
B. The original colors of the terracotta soldiers.
C. What life was like for soldiers under Emperor Qin.
D. How soldiers started the Great Wall.
5. Which of the following is true according to the second paragraph
A. The soldiers lost their colors very quickly after being discovered.
B. The soldiers' paint fell off because of the high temperature.
C. Visitors to the museum do not actually see the original soldiers.
D. Archaeologists have discovered many terracotta soldiers.
6. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “unearthed” in paragraph 2
A. Destroyed. B. Dug up.
C. Identified. D. Buried.
7. Which statement would Rong Bo probably agree with
A. The soldiers should be left the way they were found.
B. Artists should be able to paint the soldiers any color they want.
C. We should try to restore the army's original colors.
D. The first step when opening a tomb is blowing away the dirt.
C
Many scientists believe our love of sugar may actually be an addiction. When we eat or drink sugary foods, the sugar enters our blood and affects the parts of our brain that make us feel good. Then the good feeling goes away, leaving us wanting more. All tasty foods do this, but sugar has a particularly strong effect. In this way, it is in fact an addictive drug, one that doctors recommend we all cut down on.
“It seems like every time I study an illness and trace a path to the first cause, I find my way back to sugar, says scientist Richard Johnson. One-third of adults worldwide have high blood pressure, and up to 347 million have diabetes (糖尿病). Why “Sugar, we believe, is one of the culprits, if not the major culprit,” says Johnson.
Our bodies are designed to survive on very little sugar. Early humans often had very little food, so our bodies learned to be very efficient in storing sugar as fat. In this way, we had energy stored for when there was no food. But today, most people have more than enough. So the very thing that once saved us may now be killing us.
So what is the solution It's obvious that we need to eat less sugar. The trouble is, in today's world, it's extremely difficult to avoid. From breakfast cereals to after-dinner desserts, our foods are increasingly filled with it. Some manufacturers even use sugar to replace taste in foods that are advertised as low in fat. So while the foods appear to be healthier, large amounts of sugar are often added.
But some people are fighting back against sugar and trying to create a healthier environment. Many schools are replacing sugary desserts with healthier options, like fruit. Other schools are trying to encourage exercise by building facilities like walking tracks so students and others in community can exercise. The battle has not yet been lost.
8. What is the passage mainly about
A. Our addiction to sugar.
B. Illnesses caused by sugar.
C. Ways to avoid sugar.
D. Why food suppliers add sugar.
9. What does the underlined word “culprit” mean in the second paragraph
A. Disease. B. Sweet food.
C. A solution. D. Cause of the problem.
10. According to the passage why is it so hard to avoid sugar
A. It gives us needed energy.
B. It makes us energy efficient.
C. We get used to eating it at school.
D. It's in so many foods and drinks.
11. Which of the following is true according to the passage
A. Our bodies need to store much sugar as fat.
B. We need very little sugar to survive.
C. Early humans ate more sugar than we do today.
D. Food suppliers are using fruit to replace sugar.
D
Very gradually, in tiny silvers, day began to break through the fog, and from my position I could see ten or fifteen meters up the trail. I saw the young man come out of the fog. He seemed at ease, carrying his weapon in one hand and moving without any hurry up the center of the trail. There was no sound at all - none that I can remember. In a way, it seemed, he was part of the morning fog, or my own imagination, but there was also the reality of what was happening in my stomach. I had already pulled the pin on a grenade (手榴弹). I had come up to a crouch (蹲). It was entirely automatic. I did not hate the young man; I did not see him as the enemy; I did not think about issues of morality or politics or military duty. I crouched and kept my head low. There were no thoughts about killing. I had already thrown the grenade before telling myself to throw it. The grenade bounced once and rolled across the trail. The young man dropped his weapon and began to run, then he hesitated, glanced down at the grenade and tried to cover his head but never did.
All I could do was stare at the fact of the young man's body. Even now, I haven't finished sorting it out. Sometimes I forgive myself, other times I don't. In the ordinary hours of life I try not to dwell on it, but now and then, when I'm reading a newspaper or just sitting alone in a room, I'll look up and see the young man coming out of the morning fog. I'll watch him walk toward me, and he'll pass within a few yards of me and suddenly smile at some secret thought and then continue up the trail to where it bends back into the fog.
12. How did the narrator respond to his difficult situation
A. He continued up the trail into the fog.
B. He warned the young man.
C. He threw his grenade:
D. He screamed while attacking.
13. What happened to the young man
A. He was killed by the grenade.
B. He survived the attack.
C. He went back into the fog.
D. He smiled at some secret thought.
14. Which of the following can best describe the narrator's attitude toward the young man
A. Fear. B. Regret.
C. Courage. D. Satisfaction.
15. What does the underlined sentence reveal about the narrator
A. He showed anger at the sight of the enemy.
B. He experienced a lack of real hatred.
C. He had excellent shooting skills.
D. He did the actions without thinking.

Life Change is Possible
The weather isn't too cold that December morning, so Baltimore City Council woman Rochelle “Rikki” Spector put on a light jacket as she headed for her gold Buick.
Two teenage boys from southwest Baltimore were in her Inner Harbor parking garage, cutting school and looking for cars to steal. They fixed their eyes on the 80-year-old Spector.
The attack was quick, and it was violent.
As Spector got in her vehicle, the 13-year-old blocked her door from closing. The 15-year-old hit her in the face, hard.
In a city besieged by violence, it seemed to show that no one, not even an 80-year-old city official, was safe.
An alternative solution
Instead of seeking punishment, Spector quietly decided to become the boys' advocate.
She and a team of nonprofit workers, mentors, cooks and coaches have been working with the boys for months - during and after their time on house arrest - and say their grades, school attendance and attitude have shown marked improvements.
Though the boys are still works in progress, their supporters say the teens are now emerging as leaders in the neighborhood, trying to teach others to stay out of trouble.
Progress to be proud of
Around the one-year anniversary of the December 2016 attack, Spector joined the older teen in front of a large audience at her Park Heights synagogue, where leaders from across the city presented him with an award for his progress.
The boy who had once punched Spector in the face now shyly tried to hide behind her from the view of the crowd.
“I felt scared on the inside,” the teenager said. “It was a lot of people, and I thought they were going to be ashamed of my actions. But a lot of people started shaking my hand and said they were proud of me.”
A week later, Spector presented another award to the younger boy, who hugged her, called her “ma'ma” and said, “I messed up.”

The first emperor of China, Qin Shihuang, is remembered for the many things he did during his rule. Between 221 and 210 B. C. , he started the construction of the Great Wall of China. He built a large network of roads. He introduced a new writing system, currency, and set of measurements. The emperor also ordered the construction of a huge army of life-sized terracotta soldiers. These, he hoped, would protect his tomb after his death.
Today, the soldiers in Xi'an's terracotta museum are light brown, but they weren't always this color. They began as an army of red, blue, yellow, green, white, and purple. Sadly, most of the colors did not last to the present day. Before their discovery, the clay soldiers were protected by being underground.

【分析】是一篇说明文。文章介绍了出土的秦朝兵马俑，并希望现代的技术可以修复这些褪色的兵马俑，恢复其本色。
【4题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“Today, the soldiers in Xi'an's terracotta museum are light brown, but they weren't always this color. They began as an army of red, blue, yellow, green, white, and purple.”（今天，西安兵马俑博物馆的士兵是浅棕色的，但他们并不总是这种颜色。他们开始是一支红、蓝、黄、绿、白、紫的军队）根据第三段“New techniques are now starting to reveal the army's true colors.”（新技术现在开始显示军队的真实面目。）根据最后一段“Once that happens, artists can bring Emperor Qin's army back to life in full color.”（一旦成功，艺术家们就能让秦的军队回归本色）由此可知，短文主要讲兵马俑的原始颜色。故选B项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The paint disappeared in less time than it takes to boil an egg, taking with it important pieces of history.”（颜料消失的时间比煮鸡蛋的时间还短，带走了重要的历史碎片）由此可知，兵马俑被发现后很快就失去了颜色。故选A项。

Many scientists believe our love of sugar may actually be an addiction. When we eat or drink sugary foods, the sugar enters our blood and affects the parts of our brain that make us feel good. Then the good feeling goes away, leaving us wanting more. All tasty foods do this, but sugar has a particularly strong effect. In this way, it is in fact an addictive drug, one that doctors recommend we all cut down on.
“It seems like every time I study an illness and trace a path to the first cause, I find my way back to sugar, says scientist Richard Johnson. One-third of adults worldwide have high blood pressure, and up to 347 million have diabetes (糖尿病). Why “Sugar, we believe, is one of the culprits, if not the major culprit,” says Johnson.
Our bodies are designed to survive on very little sugar. Early humans often had very little food, so our bodies learned to be very efficient in storing sugar as fat. In this way, we had energy stored for when there was no food. But today, most people have more than enough. So the very thing that once saved us may now be killing us.
So what is the solution It's obvious that we need to eat less sugar. The trouble is, in today's world, it's extremely difficult to avoid. From breakfast cereals to after-dinner desserts, our foods are increasingly filled with it. Some manufacturers even use sugar to replace taste in foods that are advertised as low in fat. So while the foods appear to be healthier, large amounts of sugar are often added.
But some people are fighting back against sugar and trying to create a healthier environment. Many schools are replacing sugary desserts with healthier options, like fruit. Other schools are trying to encourage exercise by building facilities like walking tracks so students and others in community can exercise. The battle has not yet been lost.
8. What is the passage mainly about
A. Our addiction to sugar.
B. Illnesses caused by sugar.
C. Ways to avoid sugar.
D. Why food suppliers add sugar.
9. What does the underlined word “culprit” mean in the second paragraph
A. Disease. B. Sweet food.
C. A solution. D. Cause of the problem.
10. According to the passage, why is it so hard to avoid sugar
A. It gives us needed energy.
B. It makes us energy efficient.
C. We get used to eating it at school.
D. It's in so many foods and drinks.
11. Which of the following is true according to the passage
A. Our bodies need to store much sugar as fat.
B. We need very little sugar to survive.
C. Early humans ate more sugar than we do today.
D. Food suppliers are using fruit to replace sugar.
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. D 11. B
【解析】

【9题详解】
词义猜测题。根据文章第二段，“One-third of adults worldwide have high blood pressure and up to 347 million have diabetes. Why ” (全球有三分之一的成人有高血压，高达3. 47亿的人有糖尿病。为什么？)可知，后文应该在说原因，糖是其中的一个原因，但并非主要原因。故选D。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“From breakfast cereals to after-dinner desserts, our foods are increasingly filled with it. Some manufacturers even use sugar to replace taste in foods that are advertised as low in fat. So while the foods appear to be healthier, large amounts of sugar are often added.”(从早饭到下午茶，我们的食物里正在逐步的增加糖量，一些厂商甚至使用糖来代替被宣传为低脂肪的食物的味道。)可知，绝大多数的食物里面都含有糖，故选D。

Very gradually, in tiny silvers, day began to break through the fog, and from my position I could see ten or fifteen meters up the trail. I saw the young man come out of the fog. He seemed at ease, carrying his weapon in one hand and moving without any hurry up the center of the trail. There was no sound at all - none that I can remember. In a way, it seemed, he was part of the morning fog, or my own imagination, but there was also the reality of what was happening in my stomach. I had already pulled the pin on a grenade (手榴弹). I had come up to a crouch (蹲). It was entirely automatic. I did not hate the young man; I did not see him as the enemy; I did not think about issues of morality or politics or military duty. I crouched and kept my head low. There were no thoughts about killing. I had already thrown the grenade before telling myself to throw it. The grenade bounced once and rolled across the trail. The young man dropped his weapon and began to run, then he hesitated, glanced down at the grenade and tried to cover his head but never did.
All I could do was stare at the fact of the young man's body. Even now, I haven't finished sorting it out. Sometimes I forgive myself, other times I don't. In the ordinary hours of life I try not to dwell on it, but now and then, when I'm reading a newspaper or just sitting alone in a room, I'll look up and see the young man coming out of the morning fog. I'll watch him walk toward me, and he'll pass within a few yards of me and suddenly smile at some secret thought and then continue up the trail to where it bends back into the fog.
12. How did the narrator respond to his difficult situation
A. He continued up the trail into the fog.
B. He warned the young man.
C. He threw his grenade:
D. He screamed while attacking.
13. What happened to the young man
A. He was killed by the grenade.
B. He survived the attack.
C. He went back into the fog.
D. He smiled at some secret thought.
14. Which of the following can best describe the narrator's attitude toward the young man
A. Fear. B. Regret.
C. Courage. D. Satisfaction.
15. What does the underlined sentence reveal about the narrator
A. He showed anger at the sight of the enemy.
B. He experienced a lack of real hatred.
C. He had excellent shooting skills.
D. He did the actions without thinking.
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. B 15. D
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇小说节选，主要写了在战争中主人公在面对敌人时的矛盾心理和杀死他之后的想法与反思。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“I had already thrown the grenade before telling myself to throw it. The grenade bounced once and rolled across the trail. The young man dropped his weapon and began to run, then he hesitated, glanced down at the grenade and tried to cover his head but never did.（在告诉我自己要扔手榴弹之前我已经扔了手榴弹。这颗手榴弹弹了一次，滚过了小径。）”可知，在主人公告诉他自己扔手榴弹之前，他已经扔了手榴弹，第一段前半部分都是写的主人公与敌人对峙的艰难场景，所以主人公的应对方式是扔出手榴弹。故选择C项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“The young man dropped his weapon and began to run, then he hesitated, glanced down at the grenade and tried to cover his head but never did.（那个年轻人放下武器，开始跑了起来。然后他犹豫了一下，低头看了一眼手榴弹，想要遮住头，但是他没有做。）”以及第二段“All I could do was stare at the fact of the young man's body.（我所能做的就是盯着那个年轻人的尸体看）”可知，这个年轻人被手榴弹炸死了。故选择A项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Even now, I haven't finished sorting it out. Sometimes I forgive myself, other times I don't.（即使现在，我还是没有把这件事想清楚。有时我原谅了自己，有时我不能原谅自己。）”可知，主人公杀死这个年轻人后是后悔的。故选择B项。
【15题详解】
句意猜测题。根据第一段下文“I did not hate the young man; I did not see him as the enemy; I did not think about issues of morality or politics or military duty. I crouched and kept my head low. There were no thoughts about killing. I had already thrown the grenade before telling myself to throw it.（我不憎恨这个年轻人；我没有把他看作是敌人；我没有考虑过道德、政治或者是军事职责的问题。我蹲着身子，低着头。并没有想要杀人的想法。在告诉我自己要扔手榴弹之前我已经扔了手榴弹。）”可知，划线部分的意思是：他在做出行动之前并没有进行思考。故选择D项。

【16题详解】
下文“Nanotechnology can help cure many illnesses, including cancer. And if any part of your body is unhealthy, you can “grow” a new one in a laboratory.（纳米技术可以帮助治疗许多疾病，包括癌症。如果你身体的任何部分不健康，你可以在实验室里“生长”一个新的。）”说明这一段讲述未来的纳米技术可以帮助治疗许多疾病，包括癌症这一现象，所以空白处应该与健康有关。该处为这一段首句，应该对这一段进行总结和总领。C项“Science has also found amazing ways to keep people healthy.（科学还发现了让人们保持健康的神奇方法。）” 引出下文，和该段语境相符。故选C项。
【17题详解】
根据上文“As you get dressed, you say to your shirt, “Turn red.” It becomes red.（当你穿上衣服的时候，你对衬衫说“变成红色。”它就会变成红色。）”和下文“So you can program clothes to change colors or patterns.（这样你就可以改变衣服的颜色和图案。）”可知，这一段主要说明可以根据你的编程更改你衣服的颜色。空处后面有So，所以该处应该是原因分析。F项“In 2045, “smart” clothes contain nanoparticles that carry electricity.（2045年，“智能”衣服中含有携带电的纳米颗粒。）”说明了可以改变衣服颜色的原因，符合语境。故选F项。
【18题详解】

Your cell phone is by the window because it gets its energy from the sun.（在去厨房的路上，你想给朋友打电话。你的手机在窗边，因为它从太阳获取能量。）”说明该段为未来在厨房中接打电话的场景。下文“You can just touch your jacket sleeve to make the call.（你只需摸一下外套的袖子就可以打电话了。）”说明了未来打电话的方式。D项“But you don't need to pick up the phone.（但是你根本不需要拿起手机。）”承上启下，说明了打电话的方便，符合语境。故选D项。

【20题详解】
该段为最后一段，应该对前文进行总结。下文“Perhaps the future is much closer than we think.（也许未来比我们想象的要近得多。）”说明也许未来比我们想象的要近得多。再结合前文诸多天马行空的想象，可以推断出空处应该是以设问的方式猜测我们的这些想象能不能实现。E项“Will all this come true （所有这些想象都会实现吗？）”符合语境。故选E项。

第二节
47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Life Change is Possible
The weather isn't too cold that December morning, so Baltimore City Council woman Rochelle “Rikki” Spector put on a light jacket as she headed for her gold Buick.
Two teenage boys from southwest Baltimore were in her Inner Harbor parking garage, cutting school and looking for cars to steal. They fixed their eyes on the 80-year-old Spector.
The attack was quick, and it was violent.
As Spector got in her vehicle, the 13-year-old blocked her door from closing. The 15-year-old hit her in the face, hard.
In a city besieged by violence, it seemed to show that no one, not even an 80-year-old city official, was safe.
An alternative solution
Instead of seeking punishment, Spector quietly decided to become the boys' advocate.
She and a team of nonprofit workers, mentors, cooks and coaches have been working with the boys for months - during and after their time on house arrest - and say their grades, school attendance and attitude have shown marked improvements.
Though the boys are still works in progress, their supporters say the teens are now emerging as leaders in the neighborhood, trying to teach others to stay out of trouble.
Progress to be proud of
Around the one-year anniversary of the December 2016 attack, Spector joined the older teen in front of a large audience at her Park Heights synagogue, where leaders from across the city presented him with an award for his progress.
The boy who had once punched Spector in the face now shyly tried to hide behind her from the view of the crowd.
“I felt scared on the inside,” the teenager said. “It was a lot of people, and I thought they were going to be ashamed of my actions. But a lot of people started shaking my hand and said they were proud of me.”
A week later Spector presented another award to the younger boy, who hugged her, called her “ma'ma” and said, “I messed up.”

【答案】Shortly after the carjacking, Spector attended a court hearing the boys. It would have been easy for Spector to stay angry at the teens. She could have asked the judges to jail them for years. But she chose to forgive them. “We went to court not to say they shouldn't be punished, but to see if there was some way we could find a solution,” she says. “They need to stay busy. They need to stay engaged.”
“After this incident happened, my life turned around.” the older boy said, “I was so sad about what we did to her, especially when I saw her face. ‘Kids don't hit grown-ups.’ she approached me in the courtroom and said to me. I burst out crying and hugged her. They put me on house arrest. I started hanging around with new people who had helped me to make progress in every possible way.”
