第一节 (共10小题;每小题2.5分,满分25分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
Each year there are at least five million people around the world who develop serious flu(流感), and almost half a million deaths.When someone we know gets the flu virus, we expect him to be very careful not to pass it on to others.Doctors and nurses working with flu patients also need to protect themselves from the virus.But what is the best way to do this This is the question that flu expert Professor Jonathan Van-Tam at Nottingham University is trying to answer. He wants to find out how flu is transmitted, so that he can stop doctors and nurses getting sick.
Van-Tam explains their method,“There are 41 volunteers in my experiment.Some healthy volunteers are made to get flu first.When they show symptoms(症状), other volunteers, usually called recipients(接受者), enter the house.Everyone lives together in the small space for four days.Some of the recipients wear face masks, and wash their hands every 15 minutes,but some have no protection.In this way we can study who catches the flu and which ways of transmitting flu are important.During the four days when they are in contact with the virus, and for the ten days after that, the flu recipients are checked regularly.”
The experiment is not simple and it is very expensive.It is difficult to design correctly, and it is also difficult to plan and carry out.Just one study like this takes about 18 months to organize and needs hundreds of people working on it.But Van-Tam believes it is worth because the results will help to decide what type of protection is needed for people working in hospitals with large numbers of flu patients around the world.And perhaps it could reduce the number of deaths from flu each year.
21.Which word can replace the underlined word “transmitted” in Paragraph 1
A.solved B.passed C.formed D.stopped
22.What is the main purpose of this study
A.To test the medicines for people who develop serious flu.
B.To find the best way to protect doctors and nurses from the flu.
C.To reduce the number of people who die of flu.
D.To find out who gets the flu easily.
23.According to the text, which of the statements is true
A.This type of study lasted 18 months.
B.The experiment is neither simple nor expensive.
C.Recipients were divided into 2 groups to perform the experiment.
D.Wearing masks was the best way to protect people from getting flu.
B
The meaning of silence varies among cultural groups.Silences may be thoughtful, or they may be empty when a person has nothing to say.A silence in a conversation may also show stubbornness, uneasiness, or worry.Silence may be viewed by some cultural groups as extremely uncomfortable; therefore attempts may be made to fill every gap (间隙 ) with conversation.Persons in other cultural groups value silence and view it as necessary for understanding a person’s needs.
Many Native Americans value silence and feel it is a basic part of communicating among people, just as some traditional Chinese and Thai persons do.Therefore, when a person from one of these cultures is speaking and suddenly stops, what may be implied(暗示) is that the person wants the listener to consider what has been said before continuing.In these cultures, silence is a call for reflection.
Other cultures may use silence in other ways, particularly when dealing with conflicts among people or in relationships of people with different amounts of power.For example, Russian, French, and Spanish persons may use silence to show agreement between parties about the topic under discussion.However, Mexicans may use silence when instructions are given by a person in authority rather than be rude to that person by arguing with him or her.In still another use, persons in Asian cultures may view silence as a sign of respect, particularly to an elder or a person in authority.
Nurses and other care-givers need to be aware of the possible meanings of silence when they come across the personal anxiety their patients may be experiencing.Nurses should recognize their own personal and cultural construction of silence so that a patient’s silence is not interrupted too early or allowed to go on unnecessarily.A nurse who understands the healing (治愈) value of silence can use this understanding to assist in the care of patients from their own and from other cultures.
24.What does the author say about silence in conversations
A.It implies anger. B.It promotes friendship.
C.It is culture-specific. D.It is content-based.
25.Which of the following people might regard silence as a call for careful thought
A.The Chinese. B.The French.
C.The Mexicans. D.The Russians.
26.What does the author advise nurses to do about silence
A.Let it continue as the patient pleases.
B.Break it while treating patients.
C.Evaluate its harm to patients.
D.Make use of its healing effects.
27.What may be the best title for the text
A.Sound and Silence
B.What It Means to Be Silent
C.Silence to Native Americans
D.Speech Is Silver; Silence Is Gold
C
When we do the same movements with our bodies over and over again, we overuse some muscles.And that overuse can lead to strain and injury.Sometimes those problems can come from doing sports.But exercise experts say they are now seeing another cause for muscle problems:hand-held technology devices(设备).
Staring down at your phone or tablet for long periods of time puts great tension on your neck and spine(脊椎).Many people who use tech devices also bend their shoulders forward.Experts say this posture (姿势) puts strain on the entire upper body.Muscle strain linked to hand-held technology has become such a common condition that it now has a name tech neck.
Kimberly Fielding, an exercise teacher in New York City, explains that constantly looking down at our devices creates an unnatural bend in our spine.This can cause nerve pain and other problems.“A lot of the curves of the neck can change, so instead of the neck spine going inward, the curve can be a little bit different and it causes nerve pain and disc heniation(椎间盘突出) and different muscle tension headaches—different things that really can reduce quality of life.”
Fielding created a class to directly solve the problem of tech neck.The class uses different exercises to release tension in the upper body and strengthen back and neck muscles.Fielding says these exercises may feel uncomfortable in the beginning because the neck muscles may have become weak.
However, you don’t need to take a class like Fielding’s.You can take simple steps to improve tech neck.For a quick fix, hold your phone at eye level.At the same time, take breaks from using your technology by standing up and stretching your legs often.Also, give your eyes a break by closing them throughout the day.
28.What does the underlined phrase “tech neck” in Paragraph 2 refer to
A.The painful neck caused by electronic devices.
B.The strong neck after technical physical exercises.
C.The decoration on the neck with hand-held devices.
D.The cell phone or iPad frequently hung on the neck.
29.What can we learn from Kimberly Fielding’s findings
A.Muscle tension can lead to spine curving and headaches.
B.Nerve pain and other problems are caused by disc herniation.
C.Staring down at your smartphone does great harm to your neck spine.
D.Quality of life depends in a large part on the condition of neck spine.
30.What is the purpose of the last paragraph
A.To invite people to attend Fielding’s class.
B.To urge people to keep away from e-products.
C.To give some practical tips to prevent neck pain.
D.To advise those addicts to exercise their necks.

第二节 概要写作(满分25分)
阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
Are you sometimes a little tired and sleepy in the early afternoon Many people feel this way after lunch.They may think that eating lunch is the cause of the sleepiness.Or, in summer, they may think it is the heat.However, the real reason lies inside their bodies.At that time—about eight hours after you wake up—your body temperature goes down.This is what makes you slow down and feel sleepy.Scientists have tested sleep habits in experiments where there was no night or day.The people in these experiments almost always followed a similar sleeping pattern.They slept for one long period and then for one short period about eight hours later.
In many parts of the world, people take naps(小睡) in the middle of the day.This is especially true in warmer climates, where the heat makes work difficult in the early afternoon.Researchers are now saying that naps are good for everyone in any climate.A daily nap gives one a more rested body and mind and therefore is good for health in general.In countries where naps are traditional, people often suffer less from problems such as heart disease.
Many working people, unfortunately, have no time to take naps.Though doctors may advise taking naps, employers do not allow it! If you do have the chance, however, here are a few tips for making the most of your nap.Remember that the best time to take a nap is about eight hours after you get up.A short sleep too late in the day may only make you feel more tired and sleepy afterward.This can also happen if you sleep for too long.If you do not have enough time, try a short nap—even ten minutes of sleep can be helpful.

第二节 概要写作(满分25分)
阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
Are you sometimes a little tired and sleepy in the early afternoon Many people feel this way after lunch.They may think that eating lunch is the cause of the sleepiness.Or, in summer, they may think it is the heat.However, the real reason lies inside their bodies.At that time—about eight hours after you wake up—your body temperature goes down.This is what makes you slow down and feel sleepy.Scientists have tested sleep habits in experiments where there was no night or day.The people in these experiments almost always followed a similar sleeping pattern.They slept for one long period and then for one short period about eight hours later.
In many parts of the world, people take naps(小睡) in the middle of the day.This is especially true in warmer climates, where the heat makes work difficult in the early afternoon.Researchers are now saying that naps are good for everyone in any climate.A daily nap gives one a more rested body and mind and therefore is good for health in general.In countries where naps are traditional, people often suffer less from problems such as heart disease.
Many working people, unfortunately, have no time to take naps.Though doctors may advise taking naps, employers do not allow it! If you do have the chance, however, here are a few tips for making the most of your nap.Remember that the best time to take a nap is about eight hours after you get up.A short sleep too late in the day may only make you feel more tired and sleepy afterward.This can also happen if you sleep for too long.If you do not have enough time, try a short nap—even ten minutes of sleep can be helpful.

第二部分 阅读理解
第一节
A
本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了流感专家Jonathan Van-Tam为了验证流感如何传染,进行了一项复杂的实验。尽管很难,但是Jonathan Van-Tam认为这项实验很值得。
21 B 【解析】词义猜测题。第一段第二句已经提到了流感病毒的传染,下文Van-Tam想找到流感病毒是如何传染的,这对医生和护士很重要,因此得出transmit意为“传递”,故选B。
22 B 【解析】推理判断题。根据最后一段倒数第二句可知,Van-Tam相信这项实验的结果将有助于决定在世界各地有大量流感患者的医院工作的人们需要何种类型的保护,故选B.
23 C 【解析】推理判断题。根据第二段第五句可知,recipients(接受者)分为两类:一类戴面具,每十五分钟洗一次手;一类没有任何保护措施。故选C。
B
文章简单介绍了沉默在不同文化里所代表的含义以及沉默的治疗价值等内容。
24 C 推理判断题。【解析】根据第一段第三句“A silence in a conversation may also show stubbornness,uneasiness,or worry.(某一谈话中的沉默可能也表示倔强、不安或者担忧)”可知,silence in conversations具有文化特异性。故选C。
25 A 细节理解题。【解析】根据第二段中的“Many Native Americans value silence and feel it is a basic part of communicating among people,just as some traditional Chinese and Thai persons do.Therefore,when a person from one of these cultures is speaking and suddenly stops,what may be implied is that the person wants the listener to consider what has been said before continuing.”可知,中国人可能认为一个人在谈话时突然停顿是希望听话人去仔细思考。故选A。
26 D 细节理解题。【解析】根据最后一段,尤其是最后一句“A nurse who understands the healing value of silence can use this understanding to assist in the care of patients from their own and from other cultures.”可知,护士应该充分利用沉默的治愈价值。故选D。
27 B 标题归纳题。【解析】通读全文可知,文章介绍了沉默在不同文化里所代表的含义,故选B。文章未谈及Sound,所以A项不对;文章虽谈到了Silence to Native Americans,但这不是文章的中心内容,故排除C项;文章未涉及Speech Is Silver的内容,所以D项也不对。
C
本文是一篇说明文。运动专家表示,他们现在发现了导致肌肉问题的一个原因:手持科技设备。并且本文为预防颈部疼痛提供了一些实用的建议。

29 C 【解析】推理判断题。根据第三段内容可知,纽约市的一位运动教师Kimberly Fielding解释说,经常低头看电子设备会让我们的脊椎产生不自然的弯曲。这会导致神经疼痛和其他问题,低头看手机对你的颈椎有很大的伤害。故选C.
30 C 【解析】目的意图题。最后一段是给预防颈部疼痛提供一些实用的建议。故选C。
第二节
本文为说明文。早上锻炼不仅有利于身体健康,而且还可以提高效率、促进新陈代谢、提高睡眠质量并帮你保持良好的饮食习惯。
31 G 【解析】本句为过渡句。空格前的句子指出在繁忙的生活中很难找到时间锻炼,空格后的句子则指出了早上锻炼具有许多益处,G项“如果你计划定期锻炼或者现在正在锻炼,那么注意听”,能很好地连接上下文,故G项正确。
32 E 【解析】本句为细节句。本段反映出早上锻炼有助于提高效率,让你更加清醒地处理这一天的事情,E项“锻炼后的4到10个小时内,你可以保持清醒的头脑”符合语境。awake与E项中的“keep your head clear”意义一致。
33 F 【解析】本句为细节句。F项中的“continue to burn calories throughout the day(整整一天持续燃烧卡路里)”与设空处后句中的“will be getting the calorie burning benefits for the whole day(整整一天都会受益于卡路里的燃烧)”意义一致,故F项正确。
34 B 【解析】本句为主旨句。本段指出,研究发现早起锻炼的人比晚上锻炼的人睡眠更好,故B项符合本段主旨,意为“你的睡眠质量会有所提高”。

第三部分 语言运用
第一节
本文是一篇记叙文。本文通过小男孩优柔寡断最后空手而归的故事告诉我们要大胆地去做决定,只有决定了才知道它好不好。
36 D 【解析】根据上句“A six-year-old kid walked into a candy store with his dad and was surprised by so many candies on offer.”可知,有太多的糖果,小男孩不知道选择(choose)哪些,故选D。此外,也可根据第三段首句中的“I don’t know what to choose”,并利用关键词复现法确定答案。
37 A 【解析】根据第二段中父亲说的话“I have to attend an important meeting”可知,父亲要去参加会议,故没有多少时间(time)了,应选A。也可根据40空后的“we have no time”,并利用关键词复现法解答本题。
38 B 【解析】根据下文“and I don’t know what to choose”可知,这些都是“我”最喜欢的(favorite),“我”不知道该选择哪些。
39 C 【解析】根据下句“He couldn’t make up his mind.”可知,他无法决定,据此可以推断他拿起袋子,然后又放回去(put back),从而与上文中的“picked up some bags”构成呼应,故选C。
40 D 【解析】根据该句中“we have no time”可知,没有时间了,据此可以判断此处是父亲在催促,让儿子快一点儿(hurry up),故选D。
41 B 【解析】根据上文37空后的“I have to attend an important meeting”和上句中的“we have no time”可以判断,这位父亲很忙(busy),故选B。
42 C 【解析】上文提到父亲的催促,再根据上文使用的动词词组ran around可以推断,小男孩快速地(quickly)绕着店跑,故选C。
43 D 【解析】上文中“His eyes moved from one bag to another”描述的是小男孩选择的行为:下文“all of the sweets looked so good and he couldn’t make up his mind”描述的是小男孩的犹豫不决。显然,前后句之间是转折关系,应用but,故选D。
44 C 【解析】根据该句中的“the dad had enough”可以判断,最后(finally),这位父亲等够了,故选C。
45 B 【解析】根据该句中“He caught his son by the hand and they…the store empty-handed.”可知,他们两手空空地走出(walk out of)了糖果店,故选B。
46 A 【解析】最后小男孩没有买到糖果,据此可以推断小男孩哭(cry)了,故选A。
47 D 【解析】根据上文“they 45 the store empty-handed”可知,他们两手空空地走出了商店,据此可知小男孩最终什么都没有(nothing)得到,故选D。
48 C 【解析】本句使用了比喻的修辞手法。根据上句“Some of us are that boy.”可知,我们中一些人就和小男孩一样,据此可以推断作者把世界(world)比喻成那家糖果店,故选C。
49 B 【解析】根据40空前的“He couldn’t make up his mind.”可知,小男孩不能做出决定,此处说明我们和小男孩一样不能做出决定(decision),利用同义转述法可确定答案。
50 A 【解析】根据生活常识可知,凡是需要做出重大决定的事情一定是重要的(important)事情。工作、教育、人际关系和婚姻都是重要的事情,故选A。
51 D 【解析】根据该句谓语“worry about”可知,只有错误的(wrong)决定才会让人担心。此句表示有时候我们担心做出错误的决定,故选D。
52 B 【解析】根据该句“What if we…the direction that we take and it’s too late to go back ”可知,该句意为“要是我们后悔(regret)我们选择的方向又时机太迟无法回头该怎么办 ”故选B。
53 A 【解析】根据上文“Sometimes we worry about making the 51 choice.”并利用关键词复现法可知,本句应表示我们不用担心(worry about)这一点,故选A。
54 C 【解析】句意:如果我们不做选择怎么知道(know)这个决定是好还是不好呢 故选C。
55 A 【解析】根据下文的结果“end up going nowhere and doing nothing”可知,本空应该是一个消极词汇。只有A项是消极词汇。句意:更大的危险是我们根本没有做决定,最后哪里也去不了,什么都做不了。故选A。
第二节
本文主要讲述一日三餐的营养要均衡,早餐特别重要,不吃早餐或没有吃健康的早餐对健康有很大的害处。
56 causes/will cause 【解析】考查动词时态。动名词短语“Skipping breakfast”做主语,谓语动词用单数形式,且表示的是一般事实或将会造成的影响,因此用一般现在时或一般将来时。
57 Studies 【解析】考查名词单复数。谓语“have showed”中的have是复数形式,因此主语要用复数形式。
58 regularly 【解析】考查副词。eat是动词,需要用副词修饰。
59 a 【解析】考查固定搭配。at a risk of意为“冒……的风险”,是固定搭配。
60 worse 【解析】考查比较级。根据上下文可知,此处指极度贫困地区的人和一般的人相比,这种情况甚至更糟糕,用形容词比较级,bad的比较级是worse。
61 eating 【解析】考查动名词。be used to doing sth.意为“习惯于做某事”,to是介词,后接动名词做宾语。
62 and 【解析】考查连词。前后两个分句之间为递进关系,故用连词and。
63 to 【解析】考查固定句型。when it comes to…意为“当谈论/提到……时”,是固定句型。
64 retired 【解析】考查词性转换。此处指已退休的人。retired意为“已退休的”。
65 patience 【解析】考查名词。and是并列连词,连接两个并列的成分,time和patience都是名词,做have的宾语,故填patience。

One possible version:
Dear Bill,
I’m glad to hear that you are studying in China.But you said you got quite confused sometimes,and wanted to know some simple differences in body language between China and the United States.I think I can explain some to you.
Firstly,Americans always avoid touching each other.But Chinese people don’t mind physical contact.Also,people from America protect their private space,while Chinese pay less attention to it.Last but not least,in the United States,showing your tongue is considered to be rude,while in China,it is usually an expression of embarrassment.
There are many differences in body language between China and the United States.Please pay attention and use the correct body language when you are in China.I really would like to help you when you are in need.
Best wishes!
Yours,
Li Hua
