An elephant was standing and picking leaves from a tree. A small fly came, flying and buzzing near his ear. The elephant waved it away with his long ears. Then the fly came again and the elephant waved it away once more.
This happened several times. Then the elephant asked the fly, “Why are you so restless and noisy Why can’t you just stay in one place ”
The fly answered, “I am interested in whatever I see, hear or smell. My five senses, and everything that happens around me, pull me here and there and I cannot resist (抵抗) them. What is your secret How can you stay so calm and still ”
The elephant stopped eating and said, “My five senses do not rule me. I am in control of myself — my senses do not tell me what to do. This helps me stay focused on whatever I do, and so, keep my mind calm and still. Now that I am eating, I am completely enjoying eating. In this way, I can just focus on enjoying my food. ”
After hearing these words, the fly’s eyes opened wide and a smile appeared on his face. He looked at the elephant and said, “I understand! I will always be restless if I let my senses control me. On the other hand, if I try to use some self-control, my mind will become calm and I’ll be able to stay still. ”
It is said that the mind is restless and pays attention to whatever is in front of it. But if you can control what you pay attention to, you can control your mind.

A. he had nowhere to land
B. he couldn’t see things clearly

【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章通过大象和苍蝇的对话，说明头脑是不安分的，会关注着它面前的一切。但是如果你能控制你所关注的东西，你就能控制你的思维。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。由第二段中的“Then the elephant asked the fly, “Why are you so restless and noisy Why can’t you just stay in one place ”(然后大象问苍蝇：“你为什么这么烦躁和吵闹？你为什么不能待在一个地方？”)”和第三段中的“The fly answered, “I am interested in whatever I see, hear or smell. (苍蝇回答说：我对我所看到的、听到的或闻到的一切都感兴趣)”可知，苍蝇认为它经常四处走动是因为它对周围的一切都感兴趣。故选C项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。由第四段中的“The elephant stopped eating and said, “My five senses do not rule me. I am in control of myself — my senses do not tell me what to do. This helps me stay focused on whatever I do, and so, keep my mind calm and still. (大象停止进食，说：我的五种感官不支配我。我控制着自己——我的感官不告诉我该做什么。这有助于我专注于我所做的一切，所以，保持头脑冷静)”可知，大象控制着自己，所以五感不会支配大象的行动，大象能保持安静，因此保持冷静的关键是控制自己的感官。故选A项。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。由第四段“The elephant stopped eating and said, “My five senses do not rule me. I am in control of myself — my senses do not tell me what to do. This helps me stay focused on whatever I do, and so, keep my mind calm and still. Now that I am eating, I am completely enjoying eating.

【7题详解】
主旨大意题。由上文“大象与苍蝇的对话”和最后一段“It is said that the mind is restless and pays attention to whatever is in front of it. But if you can control what you pay attention to, you can control your mind. (有人说，头脑是不安分的，关注眼前的一切。但是如果你能控制你所关注的，你就能控制你的思想)”可知，D项“控制你的思想”符合文意。故选D项。

Earthquake rescue robots have experienced their final tests in Beijing. Their designers say with these robots, rescuers will be able to buy more time to save lives during an earthquake.
This robot, looking like a helicopter, is called the detector (探测器) bot. At about 4 metres long, it took about 4 years to develop the model. Its main functions are to collect information from the air, and deliver goods of up to 30 kilos to people trapped by an earthquake.
This robot is equipped with a high 360 degree panoramic (全景的) camera. It can work day and night and also be able to send the latest pictures from the quake area.
Dr Qi Juntong, from Chinese Academy of Sciences, said, "The most important feature of this robot is that it doesn't need distant control. We just set the information on it, and then it takes off, and lands by itself. It flies as high as 3,000 metres, and as fast as 100 kilometres per hour."
This robot has a different function — it can change as the environment changes. Its main job is to search for any signs of life in places where human rescuers can't go.
The robot is equipped with a camera that can work in the dark, as well as a detector that not only finds people, but can also detect poisonous gas.
Another use for the rescuers is the supply bot, with its 10 metre long pipe. People trapped in the ruins will be able to get supplies including oxygen and liquids.
Experts have said that the robots will be produced, and serve as part of the national earthquake rescue team as soon as next year.
8. We can learn from the passage that the earthquake rescue robot ________.
A. is unable to deliver goods B. is designed to predict the earthquake
C. can send pictures even at night D. can be used to clear away poisonous gas
9. According to Dr Qi Juntong, the earthquake rescue robot ________.
A. has a unique shape
B. has more functions
C. is equipped with more advanced cameras
D. can work by itself once given the information
10. The robot can find people in an earthquake with the help of ________.
A. a remote control B. a detector
C. a long pipe D. a helicopter
11. What is the passage mainly about
A. Some information about earthquakes.
B. How to build earthquake rescue robots.
C. An introduction to a kind of earthquake rescue robots.
D. Different earthquake rescue robots in the world.
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. B 11. C

People eat more when they are glued to the television and the more entertaining the program is, the more they eat, according to a new research.
It seems that distracted(分心的)brains do not notice what the mouth is doing, said Dr. Alan Hirsch, neurological director of the Smell and Taste Treatment and Research Foundation in Chicago.
Hirsch explored the impact of smell, taste and eating behaviors while watching TV by measuring potato chip consumption. Forty-five volunteers ate as many chips as they wanted every six minutes while they watched monologues by late-night talk show hosts David Letterman and Jay Leno. They were still given chips to eat when the television was off. Hirsch found people ate an average of 44 percent more chips while watching Letterman and 42 percent more while viewing Leno, than when they did not watch TV.
If you concentrate on how the food tastes, you'll eat less because you'll feel full faster, "Hirsch said in an interview at the Endocrine Society's annual meeting in Toronto. So if that's the case, let's look at the opposite. What if you're distracted If you're distracted, in theory, then you'd eat more."
Through his research at the foundation, Hirsch has helped people overcome the loss of sense of smell and sense of taste. which typically results in weight gain because the brain does not know when it should stop eating.
The ventromedial nucleus(腹内侧核)in the hypothalamus( 下 丘脑)， where the so-called satiety(饱腹感)center is located. tells the body whether it is hungry or full. It is inhibited or tricked, the result can be changes in eating patterns, he said.
People who cook spaghetti all day don't feel like eating spaghetti at the end of the day, "said Hirsch," By being exposed to a smell all day long it's tricking the hypothalamus."
Volunteers were asked to concentrate on the sensory characteristics of the food such as taste and smell. Researchers say these sensory clues, in addition to inner body changes. mark satiety.
But when distracted. a person does not pay attention to either the body's sensations of feeling full, or to the sensory characteristics of the food.
Many studies have linked being fat to watching television and that link is likely due to inactivity, Hirsch said. But perhaps entertaining shows are also contributing.
"If you want to lose weight, turn off the television or watch something boring," he said.
12. When Hirsch conducted the research, he______
A. evaluated the degree of the volunteers' loss of taste.
B. measured the amount of the chips the volunteers ate.
C. analyzed the volunteers' preference on TV programs.
D. counted the minutes the volunteers spent on TV programs.
13. According to the research, when will you feel full faster .
A. When we are distracted.
B. When we focus on how the food tastes.
C. When we are watching entertaining programs.
D. When the brain doesn't know when it should stop eating.
14. Why does the author mention "People who cooks paghetti all day don't feel like eating it at the end of the day"
A. It tells us that eating spaghetti is inhabited.
B. It indicates that spaghetti doesn't taste good at the end of the day.
C. It tells us that people who cook spaghetti don' like eating spaghetti.
D. It shows that smell is "telling" the hypothalamus that the body is full.
15. What is the main purpose of the article
A. To prove that being fat is linked to inactivity.
B. To reveal the relationship between TV programs and eating behaviors.
C. to explain why watching television makes people eat more and gain weight.
D. To find how sensory characteristics of the food affects people's feelings of eating.
【答案】12. B 13. B 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要解释了看电视会让人吃得更多，体重增加及其产生的原因。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Hirsch explored the impact of smell, taste and eating behaviors while watching TV by measuring potato chip consumption.（赫希博士通过测量薯片的摄入量，研究了看电视对嗅觉、味觉和饮食行为的影响。）”可知，当赫希进行这项研究时，他测量了志愿者吃薯片的量。故选B项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“If you concentrate on how the food tastes, you'll eat less because you'll feel full faster（如果你把注意力集中在食物的味道上，你会吃得更少，因为你会更快地感到吃饱。）”可知，当我们把注意集中在食物的味道上时，我们会更容易感到吃饱。故选B项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。结合第六段“The ventromedial nucleus(腹内侧核)in the hypothalamus(下丘脑), where the so-called satiety(饱腹感)center is located, tells the body whether it is hungry or full.（下丘脑腹内侧核，也就是所谓的饱腹中枢所在的位置，会告诉身体它是饿了还是饱了。）”和第七段“People who cook spaghetti all day don't feel like eating spaghetti at the end of the day, "said Hirsch," By being exposed to a smell all day long it's tricking the hypothalamus.”（赫希说：“那些整天做意大利面的人在一天结束后就不想再吃意大利面了，整天暴露在一种气味中会欺骗下丘脑。”）”可知，整天做意大利面的人在一天结束后就不想再吃意大利面，是因为气味“告诉”下丘脑，身体已经吃饱了。故选D项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“People eat more when they are glued to the television, and the more entertaining the program is, the more they eat, according to a new research.（一项最新研究表明，人们在全神贯注看电视时吃得更多，而且节目越有趣，吃得越多。）”和下文内容可知，文章主要解释看电视会让人吃得更多，体重增加及其产生的原因。故选C项。

【17题详解】
根据上文“Through his research, Emmons found that grateful people reported feeling healthier and happier, both mentally and physically.”（通过他的研究，埃蒙斯发现，心存感激的人在精神和身体上都感觉更健康、更快乐。）可知，心怀感恩的人在生理和心理上都更加健康和快乐；根据下文“In the workplace, employees who are shown that they are appreciated are healthier and more productive by 50 percent.”（在工作场所，那些表现出被赏识的员工更健康，工作效率也提高了50%。）可知，感恩的人更健康工作效率更高；A选项中的“happier”与上文的happier对应，“ 25 percent”与下文的50 percent对应，即本段第一句是本段的主旨句，下文是通过数据进一步去论证主旨句，A项“事实上，那些心存感激的人比那些没有感激的人幸福25%。”切题。故选A项。

【19题详解】
根据下文“It starts by paying attention to what’s now going on in your life, and that’s true self-awareness is the key to being successful.”（它从关注你生活中正在发生的事情开始，这就是真正的自我意识是成功的关键。）可知，我们要对关注当下的生活，并且自我意识是成功的关键；E选项中的“ reflect (反思) in the moment”与下文的paying attention to what’s now going on in your life对应，下文的It指的是就是E选项所说的“感恩让你反思当下，而不是总是思考未来”这件事，所以E选项符合题意。故选E项。
【20题详解】
根据下文“Taking the time to thank people for their work and kindness — whether it was today, last month or many years ago — makes you happier and more self-aware.”（花点时间感谢别人的工作和好意——无论是今天、上个月还是多年前——都会让你更快乐、更有自知之明。）可知，作者建议我们去感激别人的付出和善意，不管这个付出和善意是今天的还是上个月的还是多年前的；C选项中的“never too late”与下文的whether it was today, last month or many years ago对应，“gratitude”与下文的“thank people”对应，且C选项表达的意思“老话说：“说对不起永远不晚”，但感恩也是如此。”概括了本段主要内容，总领下文。故选C项。

【解析】
【分析】这是一篇议论文。文章讲述了应该尊重中国文化，为它感到自豪，不要盲目崇外。
【36题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：中国是一个古老的大国，有五千多年的历史。本句是一个非限制性定语从句，先行词是China，在定语从句中做主语，所以用关系代词which引导。故填which。
【37题详解】
考查代词。句意：我们为它的文化感到自豪，部分文化甚至对世界产生了巨大影响，比如孔子的思想。放在名词culture前面，所以用形容词性物主代词its指代“中国的”。故填its。
【38题详解】
考查副词。句意：我们为它的文化感到自豪，部分文化甚至对世界产生了巨大影响，比如孔子的思想。此处用副词greatly作状语，修饰动词influence。故填greatly。
【39题详解】
考查冠词。句意：随着中国经济的快速发展和在世界上的重要地位，越来越多的外国人在孔子学院学习汉语。固定搭配play a role in (起作用)，important是以元音音素开头的，所以用不定冠词an。故填an。
【40题详解】
考查名词的数。句意：随着中国经济的快速发展和在世界上的重要地位，越来越多的外国人在孔子学院学习汉语。表示人，所以用名词foreigner，前面有more，所以用复数形式。故填foreigners。
【41题详解】
考查语态。句意：中国传统文化可以用时间来检验。主语The Chinese traditional culture和谓语动词test是被动关系，结合情态动词can可知，用含有情态动词的被动语态（can be done），该空用be done形式。故填be tested。
【42题详解】
考查介词。句意：今天，许多年轻人对传统文化失去了信心，他们对西方文化着迷。固定搭配be crazy about…(对……着迷)，用介词about。故填about。
【43题详解】
考查现在分词。句意：他们追随西方的时尚，认为我们是老一套。本句已有谓语follow且无连词，动词think用非谓语形式，逻辑主语They与动词think是主谓关系，think用现在分词（doing）表主动，作状语。故填thinking。
【44题详解】
考查时态。句意：但总有一天，他们会意识到忽视传统文化是错误的。some day和一般将来时态连用，realize用一般将来时（will do）。故填will realize。
【45题详解】
考查动词不定式。句意：但总有一天，他们会意识到忽视传统文化是错误的。本句使用“形容词+动词不定式”的结构，表原因。故填to ignore。

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。
Dad and Mom had got to go on a four-day business trip. They taught their elder son Daniel and younger daughter Jane how to feed and look after their dog, Spot, how to take good care of themselves—learning to cook if they could, or ordering pizza—with money left on the table—if they were busy, and told them to keep their rooms clean and tidy. They asked Daniel to be in charge.
On the very morning when the parents left Mom kissed them and said to Daniel gently, “Young man, do take care of Spot and Jane.” Daniel promised, “I will, Mom.”
Too excited to fall asleep again, Daniel and Jane jumped out of bed, calling out each other to get up. Their pet dog, Spot, heard the similar voice and rushed in, with a ball in its mouth. Jane stuck(伸) her head into Daniel’s room,“Spot got up an hour earlier. Let’s walk it.” Daniel said excitedly, “I’m coming, but, Jane, don’t forget to keep your room clean and tidy.” “I will.”
They ran with the dog in the yard and threw the ball away for Spot to bring it back. They had fun playing with Spot the whole morning. Washing Spot was slow and tiring as it was the first time they had done it. Then Daniel settled down to his homework while Jane did her reading with interest.
The following day, Jane begged her brother to order pizza for lunch. Daniel agreed excitedly, “We haven’t tasted that for long and we behave ourselves, right ”After a while, he added, “We should save money, too.” Within half an hour, they treated themselves to a big pizza. However, in the afternoon, Spot looked sick, lying lazily and unwilling to move. Daniel was concerned about the dog and took it to the pet clinic immediately with Jane as their parents had done.
注意：(1)续写词数应为150左右；
(2)请在答题卡的相应位置作答。

Daniel ran into his room, with tears in his eyes,“ Jane, there is no need to explain and Mom won’t trust me any longer.”
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】When Dad and Mom arrived a day earlier, they were amazed to find everything in a mess. Mom was angry and shouted, “Listen to me, young man—I left you in charge. We thought you would act like an adult, but look at the mess. The money for food has been used up but why does Spot still look hungry What did you do with the money we left ” Jane explained anxiously, “Mummy, Spot is sick, so we spent the rest of the money taking it to the pet clinic.”
Daniel ran into his room, with tears in his eyes,“Jane, there is no need to explain and Mom won’t trust me any longer.” Comforting Mom, Dad said calmly, “There is probably a good explanation for everything.” Hearing the little daughter’s words, Mom understood that the reason why they had no time to clean the house was that they waited for Spot at the clinic all day. Mom regretted acting so angrily and was satisfied that Daniel learnt to be responsible for others. She apologized to Daniel sincerely and hugged him in her arms, saying that “you are really growing up into a young man.”

An elephant was standing and picking leaves from a tree. A small fly came, flying and buzzing near his ear. The elephant waved it away with his long ears. Then the fly came again and the elephant waved it away once more.
This happened several times. Then the elephant asked the fly, “Why are you so restless and noisy Why can’t you just stay in one place ”
The fly answered, “I am interested in whatever I see, hear or smell. My five senses, and everything that happens around me, pull me here and there and I cannot resist (抵抗) them. What is your secret How can you stay so calm and still ”
The elephant stopped eating and said, “My five senses do not rule me. I am in control of myself — my senses do not tell me what to do. This helps me stay focused on whatever I do, and so, keep my mind calm and still. Now that I am eating, I am completely enjoying eating. In this way, I can just focus on enjoying my food. ”
After hearing these words, the fly’s eyes opened wide and a smile appeared on his face. He looked at the elephant and said, “I understand! I will always be restless if I let my senses control me. On the other hand, if I try to use some self-control, my mind will become calm and I’ll be able to stay still. ”
It is said that the mind is restless and pays attention to whatever is in front of it. But if you can control what you pay attention to, you can control your mind.

Earthquake rescue robots have experienced their final tests in Beijing. Their designers say with these robots, rescuers will be able to buy more time to save lives during an earthquake.
This robot, looking like a helicopter, is called the detector (探测器) bot. At about 4 metres long, it took about 4 years to develop the model. Its main functions are to collect information from the air, and deliver goods of up to 30 kilos to people trapped by an earthquake.
This robot is equipped with a high 360 degree panoramic (全景的) camera. It can work day and night and also be able to send the latest pictures from the quake area.
Dr Qi Juntong, from Chinese Academy of Sciences, said, "The most important feature of this robot is that it doesn't need distant control. We just set the information on it, and then it takes off, and lands by itself. It flies as high as 3,000 metres, and as fast as 100 kilometres per hour."
This robot has a different function — it can change as the environment changes. Its main job is to search for any signs of life in places where human rescuers can't go.
The robot is equipped with a camera that can work in the dark, as well as a detector that not only finds people, but can also detect poisonous gas.
Another use for the rescuers is the supply bot, with its 10 metre long pipe. People trapped in the ruins will be able to get supplies including oxygen and liquids.
Experts have said that the robots will be produced, and serve as part of the national earthquake rescue team as soon as next year.
8. We can learn from the passage that the earthquake rescue robot ________.
A. is unable to deliver goods B. is designed to predict the earthquake
C. can send pictures even at night D. can be used to clear away poisonous gas
9. According to Dr Qi Juntong, the earthquake rescue robot ________.
A. has a unique shape
B. has more functions
C. is equipped with more advanced cameras
D. can work by itself once given the information
10. The robot can find people in an earthquake with the help of ________.
A. a remote control B. a detector
C. a long pipe D. a helicopter
11. What is the passage mainly about

People eat more when they are glued to the television, and the more entertaining the program is, the more they eat, according to a new research.
It seems that distracted(分心)brains do not notice what the mouth is doing, said Dr. Alan Hirsch, neurological director of the Smell and Taste Treatment and Research Foundation in Chicago.
Hirsch explored the impact of smell, taste and eating behaviors while watching TV by measuring potato chip consumption. Forty-five volunteers ate as many chips as they wanted every six minutes while they watched monologues by late-night talk show hosts David Letterman and Jay Leno. They were still given chips to eat when the television was off. Hirsch found people ate an average of 44 percent more chips while watching Letterman and 42 percent more while viewing Leno, than when they did not watch TV.
If you concentrate on how the food tastes, you'll eat less because you'll feel full faster, "Hirsch said in an interview at the Endocrine Society's annual meeting in Toronto. So if that's the case, let's look at the opposite. What if you're distracted If you're distracted, in theory, then you'd eat more."
Through his research at the foundation, Hirsch has helped people overcome the loss of sense of smell and sense of taste. which typically results in weight gain because the brain does not know when it should stop eating.
The ventromedial nucleus(腹内侧核)in the hypothalamus( 下 丘脑)， where the so-called satiety(饱腹感)center is located. tells the body whether it is hungry or full. It is inhibited or tricked, the result can be changes in eating patterns, he said.
People who cook spaghetti all day don't feel like eating spaghetti at the end of the day, "said Hirsch," By being exposed to a smell all day long it's tricking the hypothalamus."
Volunteers were asked to concentrate on the sensory characteristics of the food such as taste and smell. Researchers say these sensory clues, in addition to inner body changes. mark satiety.

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。
Dad and Mom had got to go on a four-day business trip. They taught their elder son Daniel and younger daughter Jane how to feed and look after their dog, Spot, how to take good care of themselves—learning to cook if they could, or ordering pizza—with money left on the table—if they were busy, and told them to keep their rooms clean and tidy. They asked Daniel to be in charge.
On the very morning when the parents left, Mom kissed them and said to Daniel gently, “Young man, do take care of Spot and Jane.” Daniel promised, “I will, Mom.”
Too excited to fall asleep again, Daniel and Jane jumped out of bed, calling out each other to get up. Their pet dog, Spot, heard the similar voice and rushed in, with a ball in its mouth. Jane stuck(伸) her head into Daniel’s room,“Spot got up an hour earlier. Let’s walk it.” Daniel said excitedly, “I’m coming, but, Jane, don’t forget to keep your room clean and tidy.” “I will.”
They ran with the dog in the yard and threw the ball away for Spot to bring it back. They had fun playing with Spot the whole morning. Washing Spot was slow and tiring as it was the first time they had done it. Then Daniel settled down to his homework while Jane did her reading with interest.
The following day, Jane begged her brother to order pizza for lunch. Daniel agreed excitedly, “We haven’t tasted that for long and we behave ourselves, right ”After a while, he added, “We should save money, too.” Within half an hour, they treated themselves to a big pizza. However, in the afternoon, Spot looked sick, lying lazily and unwilling to move. Daniel was concerned about the dog and took it to the pet clinic immediately with Jane as their parents had done.
注意：(1)续写词数应为150左右；
