One Saturday afternoon in June, in the busy streets of central London, something strange happened. A man was seen apparently floating beside a London bus as it drove about town. One of his arms was stretched out and was attached to the roof of the bus. This arm appeared to be the only thing supporting the rest of his body. The man waved to the crowds with his other hand and moved his legs. Was he really walking on air How was it possible It turned out to be the latest show from Dynamo, one of the world's most thrilling illusionists (魔术师).
This wasn't the first time Dynamo had amazed the people of London. Two years earlier, tourists walking by the River Thames were a little concerned to see a young man go down some steps to the edge of the river and look thoughtfully across to the other side. Was he going to throw himself into the river More and more people gathered on the bridge to see what was going on. And to their complete disbelief, he lifted up his foot and stepped onto the water. He didn't sink! Then he took another step, and another, and another. Hundreds of photos were taken by the onlookers and the next day the newspapers were full of the fascinating story.
Dynamo is the stage name of Stephen Frayne, who was born in the northern English town of Bradford. He was attracted by street magicians as a child and wanted to become one in the future. Taught by his grandfather, he showed great talent in it. He combined card tricks with breaking dance and then made a name for himself. But now what everyone wants to know is: after walking on air and water, what is he going to do next

7. What can we learn from the last paragraph

【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段第一句“This wasn't the first time Dynamo had amazed the people of London. (这已经不是迪纳摩第一次让伦敦人感到惊讶了)”和第五句“And to their complete disbelief, he lifted up his foot and stepped onto the water. (让他们完全难以置信的是，他抬起一只脚，踩到了水面上)”可知，迪纳摩表演了一些令人难以置信的戏法，使观众们大吃一惊。故选B。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段倒第二句“He combined card tricks with breaking dance and then made a name for himself. (他把纸牌戏法和霹雳舞结合起来，然后就出了名)”可知，一个吸引人的组合戏法帮助迪纳摩获得了他最早的名声。故选D。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段第二句“He was attracted by street magicians as a child and wanted to become one in the future. (他从小就被街头魔术师所吸引，并希望将来能成为一名街头魔术师)”可知，一些街头魔术师启发迪纳摩决定了他的职业生涯。故选A。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句“But now what everyone wants to know is: after walking on air and water, what is he going to do next (但现在每个人都想知道的是：在空中和水上行走之后，他下一步要做什么？)”可知，现在每个人都在期待他的表扬，所以迪纳摩的事业正在起飞。故选C。
C
Chicken is America’s most popular meat. Many people assume chicken follows a simple rule-of-thumb: Pink chicken turned white means “done.” It’s similar to how we cook other meats. But is this true To study how cooks at home follow safety recommendations, researchers filmed 75 households in five European countries. From a random but nonrepresentative sample, they also conducted an online survey of nearly 4,000 households in the same countries that say they cook chicken.
Worried that chicken would dry out, most home cooks determined doneness by color and texture (口感) inside the meat, they found. Few bothered with thermometers (温度计), claiming they took too much time, were too complicated to use, didn’t fit in the chicken or weren’t necessary (although easy-to-use thermometers are inexpensive and widely available).
In additional lab experiments, the scientists injected raw chicken breast with bacteria (细菌), which cause millions of sicknesses, thousands of hospitalizations and hundreds of deaths each year in the United States. They cooked the breasts until they reached core temperatures ranging from 122 to 158 Fahrenheit, and they discovered something surprising. At 158 degrees, but not lower, bacteria inside the chickens’ cores was reduced to safe levels, and when cut open its flesh appeared dull and fibrous, not shiny like raw chicken. But meat began changing from pink to white far below this, and most color change occurred below 131 degrees Fahrenheit. Sometimes, the chicken’s core would be safely cooked, but unsafe levels of bacteria still existed on surfaces that hadn’t touched the grill plate.
So what are you supposed to do
Dr. Bruno Goussault, a scientist and chef, recommends buying and cooking breasts and legs separately. Bring the breast’s core to 165 degrees Fahrenheit, he said, and the leg to between 168.8 and 172.4 Fahrenheit. If you really want to safely measure temperature for a whole chicken, insert a pop-up thermometer into the thickest part of the leg before roasting it, Dr. Goussault suggests. By the time it pops, the breasts will have long cooked. They will likely be dry and far from his standards of culinary (烹饪的) perfection. But you’ll be sure to, as Dr. Goussault says in French, “dormir sur ses deux oreilles,” or, figuratively, “sleep peacefully.”
8. Why didn’t home cooks measure temperature with a thermometer
A. They could not afford it. B. It affected the taste of the meat.
C. It was not available in supermarkets. D. They thought it was too much trouble.
9. In lab experiments, when the temperature reached 158 Fahrenheit, the meat .
A. was free of bacteria B. still remained pink
C. appeared to dry out D. was reduced in size
10. What can be learned from the last paragraph
A. The meat does not taste best when bacteria free.
B. The leg becomes fully cooked before the breast.
C. A whole chicken requires a higher temperature.
D. The thermometer should be placed inside the breast.
11. What is the passage mainly about
A. Food safety. B. Simple lifestyle.
C. Cooking skills. D. Kitchen equipment.
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. A 11. A
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文，文章通过描述科学家所做的鸡胸和鸡腿的烹饪温度的测量实验，说明如何烹饪鸡肉才是安全的。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第二段Few bothered with thermometers (温度计), claiming they took too much time, were too complicated to use,didn’t fit in the chicken or weren’t necessary.很少有人为温度计费心，宣称他们花费了太多的时间，太复杂而不能使用，不适合鸡肉也没必要。可知，人们会觉得用温度计比较麻烦，与选项D内容相符，故选D项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第三段At 158 degrees, but not lower, bacteria inside the chickens’ cores was reduced to safe levels, and when cut open its flesh appeared dull and fibrous, not shiny like raw chicken.在158度时，但不是更低，鸡核心的细菌降到了安全水平，当被切开时，鸡肉显得枯燥和纤维状，不像生鸡肉肉质那么光滑。可知，到了158度时，鸡肉会显得干燥和纤维状，与选项C内容相符，故选C项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。由最后一段Bring the breast’s core to 165 degrees Fahrenheit, he said, and the leg to between 168.8 and 172.4 Fahrenheit.鸡胸的核心温度要达到165度，他说，鸡腿的温度要达到168.8度和172.4度之间。和They will likely be dry and far from his standards of culinary (烹饪的) perfection.他们可能会干燥，而且与完美的烹饪标准也相去甚远。可知，鸡胸和鸡腿的安全烹饪温度分别为165度，168.8度和172.4度之间，这时细菌几乎被杀死了，所以食用是比较安全的，但此时口感和味道却不那么好了。与选项A内容相符，故选A项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。由文章第一段To study how cooks at home follow safety recommendations, researchers filmed 75 households in five European countries.为了研究在家烹饪如何遵守安全的建议，研究者们在5个欧洲国家拍摄了75个家庭的烹饪情况。可知，文章讲述的是在家烹饪时的食品安全问题，与选项A内容相符，故选A项。
【点睛】主旨大意题是阅读理解的常见题型，做这类题时，一般会有如下思路：1.关注首段或是最后一段，这两个位置往往会有体现文章主旨的句子。2.如没有主旨句，要通读全文，自己概括出文章大意。例如小题4就依据第一个思路，由第一段To study how cooks at home follow safety recommendations, researchers filmed 75 households in five European countries. 为了研究在家烹饪如何遵守安全的建议，研究者们在5个欧洲国家拍摄了75个家庭的烹饪情况。再结合文章的描述，可知本文讲述的是在家烹饪时食品安全的问题，故选A项。
D
According to the majority of Americans, women are as capable of being good political leaders as men. The same can be said of their ability to dominate the corporate boardroom(董事会). And according to a new Pew Research Center survey on women and leadership，most Americans find women not outstanding from men on key leadership quality such as intelligence and capacity for innovation with many saying they’re stronger than men in terms of being passionate and organized leaders.
So why, then, are women in short supply at the top of government and business in the United States According to the public, at least, it’s not that they lack toughness, management talent or proper skill sets. It’s also not all about work-life balance. Although economic research and previous survey findings have shown that career interruptions related to motherhood may make it harder for women to advance in their careers and compete for top executive(管理的) jobs, relatively few adults in the recent survey point to this as a key barrier for women seeking leadership roles. Only about one-in-five say women’s family responsibilities are a major reason why there aren’t more females in top leadership positions in business and politics.
Instead, topping the list of reasons, about four-in-ten Americans point to a double standard for women seeking to climb to the highest levels of either politics or business, where they have to do more than their male colleagues to prove themselves. Similar shares say the electorate(选民)and corporate America are just not ready to put more women in top leadership positions.
As a result, the public is divided about whether the imbalance in corporate America will change in the foreseeable future, even though women have made major advances in the workplace. While 53% believe men will continue to hold more top executive positions in business in the future, 44% say it’s only a matter of time before as many women are in top executive positions as men. Americans are less doubtful when it comes to politics: 73% expect to see a female president in their lifetime.
12. What do we learn from previous survey findings about women seeking leadership roles
A. They have unconquerable difficulties on their way to success.
B. They are lacking in confidence when competing with men.
C. Their failures may have something to do with family duties.
D. Relatively few are stopped in their career advancement.
13. What is the primary factor keeping women from taking top leadership positions according to the recent survey
A. Quality B. Gender bias
C. Family responsibilities D. lack of support
14. The underlined word in paragraph 1 can be replaced with ______.
A. Respect B. obey C. follow D. lead
15. What do most Americans expect to see soon on America’s political stage
A. A woman in the highest position of government.
B. More and more women actively engaged in politics.
C. A majority of women voting for a female president.
D. As many women in top government positions as men
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. A
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要就在美国政府和商界的高层中女性的数量很少的问题展开了论述，说明了导致这一现象产生的种种因素。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Although economic research and previous survey findings have shown that career interruptions related to motherhood may make it harder for women to advance in their careers and compete for top executive(管理的) jobs, relatively few adults in the recent survey point to this as a key barrier for women seeking leadership roles. Only about one-in-five say women’s family responsibilities are a major reason why there aren’t more females in top leadership positions in business and politics.( 虽然经济研究和以前的调查结果显示，因为做母亲产生的职业中断可能会使妇女更难在事业上取得进步，也更难竞争高级行政职位，但在最近的调查中，相对较少的成年人指出这是妇女寻求领导职位的一个关键障碍。只有约五分之一的人表示，女性的家庭责任是商界和政界没有更多女性担任高层领导的主要原因)”由此可知，从之前关于女性寻求领导职位的调查结果中，我们可以了解到女性寻求领导职位的失败可能与家庭责任有关。故选C。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Instead, topping the list of reasons, about four-in-ten Americans point to a double standard for women seeking to climb to the highest levels of either politics or business, where they have to do more than their male counterparts to prove themselves.(然而，最主要的原因是，约40%的美国人指出，女性在寻求晋升到政界或商界最高职位的过程中存在双重标准，在这些职位上，她们必须比男性做得更多来证明自己)”由此可推知，根据最近的调查，阻碍女性担任高层领导职位的主要因素是性别偏见。故选B。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。上文“According to the majority of Americans, women are as capable of being good political leaders as men(据大多数美国人说，女性和男性一样有能力成为优秀的政治领袖)”可知，此处说明女性和男性在领导能力上是一样的，因此推断划线句句意：他们领导公司董事会的能力也是如此。划线词与D项lead“领导”意思相近。故选D。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Americans are less doubtful when it comes to politics: 73% expect to see a female president in their lifetime. (美国人在政治方面不那么怀疑：73%的人希望一生中能看到女性总统。)”因此推断，大部分美国人期待在不久，在美国的政治舞台上看到女性领导人。故选A。

that→ which
去掉being
impress→ impressing
favorably→ favourable
【解析】
【分析】本文是应用文。作者在信中介绍了自己的制作的关于春节记忆的视频广告。
【详解】1.考查形容词。句意：很高兴知道视频制作俱乐部正在做关于春节记忆的视频广告，我想参加这个活动。 分析句子结构可知，此处为形容词短语作状语，此处表示人感到高兴，应用-ed形式的形容词。故将Delighting改为Delighted。
2.考查介词。句意同上。 participate是不及物动词，后面跟宾语时需要加介词in。故在participate后加in。
3.考查名词。句意：以下是我的稿件的详细信息。information为常见的不可数名词，没有复数形式。故将informations改为information。
4.考查代词。句意：为了帮助人们更好地了解它，我的视频主要关注人们在春节期间做了什么。由句意可知，作者在介绍自己的参赛视频作品，故将your改为my。
5.考查非谓语动词。句意：其中包括一些传统习俗，如燃放烟花和吃饺子。such as为介词短语，其后应接动名词，此处与“setting off fireworks”并列，前后形式应保持一致。故将eat改为eating。
6.考查副词。句意：此外，一个大家庭的晚餐是最重要的部分，在那之后，每个成员都享受着团聚和聊天的乐趣，直到第二天到来。此处在句中作状语，应用副词形式。additionally 是作文中常见的过渡词, additional是形容词，不能作状语。故将Additional改为Additionally。
7.考查定语从句。句意同上。分析句子结构可知，此处是“介词+关系代词”引导的非限制性定语从句，that不可以紧跟在介词后来引导定语从句，先行词为a big family dinner， 指物，故将that 改为which。
8.考查动词时态。句意：在这个视频的结尾，春节的简介将以字幕的形式呈现，再次给观众留下深刻印象。此处为客观介绍视频要如何结束，应用一般现在时，a brief introduction 与谓语动词present之间为被动关系，应用被动语态。此处无进行之意，故删除being。
9.考查非谓语动词。句意同上。分析句子结构可知，句中已经有谓语is presented, 且其与impress 之间无连词连接，故impress应用非谓语形式。此处impress与其逻辑主语a brief introduction之间为主动关系，应用现在分词形式。故将impress改为impressing。
10.考查形容词。句意：非常感谢您的佳音。reply在此句中是名词，需用形容词修饰，故将favorably改为favorable。

Paper Books or E-books
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paper Books or E-books
Recently, a heated discussion was held in our class about whether we should read paper books or electronic books.
Some students argue that paper books are much healthier to our eyes without depending on electronic devices. Meanwhile, reading paper books is easy to see how many pages we have read and create a sense of achievement. What’s more, the parts we don’t understand can be easily found and read. However, other students hold the positive view, thinking E-books are so convenient that we can read them anywhere at any time. Furthermore, so many options of E-books are available on the Internet, which are much cheaper and take up less space.
In my opinion, it doesn’t matter whether we read paper books or E-boos. The most important thing is that we should have a good habit of reading.

One Saturday afternoon in June, in the busy streets of central London, something strange happened. A man was seen apparently floating beside a London bus as it drove about town. One of his arms was stretched out and was attached to the roof of the bus. This arm appeared to be the only thing supporting the rest of his body. The man waved to the crowds with his other hand and moved his legs. Was he really walking on air How was it possible It turned out to be the latest show from Dynamo, one of the world's most thrilling illusionists (魔术师).
This wasn't the first time Dynamo had amazed the people of London. Two years earlier, tourists walking by the River Thames were a little concerned to see a young man go down some steps to the edge of the river and look thoughtfully across to the other side. Was he going to throw himself into the river More and more people gathered on the bridge to see what was going on. And to their complete disbelief, he lifted up his foot and stepped onto the water. He didn't sink! Then he took another step, and another, and another. Hundreds of photos were taken by the onlookers and the next day the newspapers were full of the fascinating story.
Dynamo is the stage name of Stephen Frayne, who was born in the northern English town of Bradford. He was attracted by street magicians as a child and wanted to become one in the future. Taught by his grandfather, he showed great talent in it. He combined card tricks with breaking dance and then made a name for himself. But now what everyone wants to know is: after walking on air and water, what is he going to do next
4. How did Dynamo astonish the audience
A. By floating on the top of a London bus.
B. By performing some quite unbelievable tricks.
C. By being attached to the bus with one hand.
D. By being a magician as a young boy.
5. What helped Dynamo gain his earliest fame
A. Owning a special stage name.
B. Walking across the River Thames alone.
C. Being the only one floating by a moving bus.
D. Presenting an appealing combined trick.
6 Who inspired Dynamo to decide on his career first
A. Some street magicians.
B. His grandfather.
C. Breaking dance performers.
D. The audience.
7. What can we learn from the last paragraph
A. Dynamo once was a great magician.
B. Dynamo's grandpa knows a great magician.
C. Dynamo's career is taking off.
D. Dynamo is the most successful magician at present.
C
Chicken is America’s most popular meat. Many people assume chicken follows a simple rule-of-thumb: Pink chicken turned white means “done.” It’s similar to how we cook other meats. But is this true To study how cooks at home follow safety recommendations, researchers filmed 75 households in five European countries. From a random but nonrepresentative sample, they also conducted an online survey of nearly 4,000 households in the same countries that say they cook chicken.
Worried that chicken would dry out, most home cooks determined doneness by color and texture (口感) inside the meat, they found. Few bothered with thermometers (温度计), claiming they took too much time, were too complicated to use, didn’t fit in the chicken or weren’t necessary (although easy-to-use thermometers are inexpensive and widely available).
In additional lab experiments, the scientists injected raw chicken breast with bacteria (细菌), which cause millions of sicknesses, thousands of hospitalizations and hundreds of deaths each year in the United States. They cooked the breasts until they reached core temperatures ranging from 122 to 158 Fahrenheit, and they discovered something surprising. At 158 degrees, but not lower, bacteria inside the chickens’ cores was reduced to safe levels, and when cut open its flesh appeared dull and fibrous, not shiny like raw chicken. But meat began changing from pink to white far below this, and most color change occurred below 131 degrees Fahrenheit. Sometimes, the chicken’s core would be safely cooked, but unsafe levels of bacteria still existed on surfaces that hadn’t touched the grill plate.
So what are you supposed to do
Dr. Bruno Goussault, a scientist and chef, recommends buying and cooking breasts and legs separately. Bring the breast’s core to 165 degrees Fahrenheit, he said, and the leg to between 168.8 and 172.4 Fahrenheit. If you really want to safely measure temperature for a whole chicken, insert a pop-up thermometer into the thickest part of the leg before roasting it, Dr. Goussault suggests. By the time it pops, the breasts will have long cooked. They will likely be dry and far from his standards of culinary (烹饪的) perfection. But you’ll be sure to, as Dr. Goussault says in French, “dormir sur ses deux oreilles,” or, figuratively, “sleep peacefully.”
8. Why didn’t home cooks measure temperature with a thermometer
A. They could not afford it. B. It affected the taste of the meat.
C. It was not available in supermarkets. D. They thought it was too much trouble.

According to the majority of Americans, women are as capable of being good political leaders as men. The same can be said of their ability to dominate the corporate boardroom(董事会). And according to a new Pew Research Center survey on women and leadership，most Americans find women not outstanding from men on key leadership quality such as intelligence and capacity for innovation with many saying they’re stronger than men in terms of being passionate and organized leaders.
So why, then, are women in short supply at the top of government and business in the United States According to the public, at least, it’s not that they lack toughness, management talent or proper skill sets. It’s also not all about work-life balance. Although economic research and previous survey findings have shown that career interruptions related to motherhood may make it harder for women to advance in their careers and compete for top executive(管理的) jobs, relatively few adults in the recent survey point to this as a key barrier for women seeking leadership roles. Only about one-in-five say women’s family responsibilities are a major reason why there aren’t more females in top leadership positions in business and politics.
Instead, topping the list of reasons, about four-in-ten Americans point to a double standard for women seeking to climb to the highest levels of either politics or business, where they have to do more than their male colleagues to prove themselves. Similar shares say the electorate(选民)and corporate America are just not ready to put more women in top leadership positions.
As a result, the public is divided about whether the imbalance in corporate America will change in the foreseeable future, even though women have made major advances in the workplace. While 53% believe men will continue to hold more top executive positions in business in the future, 44% say it’s only a matter of time before as many women are in top executive positions as men. Americans are less doubtful when it comes to politics: 73% expect to see a female president in their lifetime.
12. What do we learn from previous survey findings about women seeking leadership roles
A. They have unconquerable difficulties on their way to success.
B. They are lacking in confidence when competing with men.
C. Their failures may have something to do with family duties.
D. Relatively few are stopped in their career advancement.
13 What is the primary factor keeping women from taking top leadership positions according to the recent survey
A. Quality B. Gender bias
C. Family responsibilities D. lack of support
14. The underlined word in paragraph 1 can be replaced with ______.
A. Respect B. obey C. follow D. lead
15. What do most Americans expect to see soon on America’s political stage
A. A woman in the highest position of government.
B. More and more women actively engaged in politics.
C. A majority of women voting for a female president.
D. As many women in top government positions as men
