Walk around the city of Ann Arbor, Michigan, and you may see a green animal named Sluggo and a flying pig named Philomena. You might even see street artist David Zinn drawing them using only sidewalk chalk and charcoal (炭笔).
At the age of 12, David began working as an artist. His dad was writing a computer instruction and worried that it would be boring to read. So he asked David to draw pictures of turtles (the name of the computer program) to explain it. The publisher liked his drawings, and soon David had the job of drawing more turtles in action. “I learned a great lesson, which was that, to make money as an artist, I couldn't always draw what I wanted,” he says. “I had to figure out how to draw a turtle drinking tea and other things like that.”
David worked for 20 years as a commercial (商业的) artist, but he often felt cooped up (禁锢) sitting at a computer for 10 hours a day. Then, on a sunny afternoon about ten years ago, he brought some chalk and started drawing on the sidewalk. That's when Sluggo came to life.
“One of the reasons I like to put art on the street is to take people by surprise,” he says. “I can have fun drawing, and knowing it will be washed away helps me not think too much. It frees me up.”
It takes David about two hours to complete one drawing. He uses a lot of sidewalk characteristics in his street art. It can be difficult to draw on surfaces that are not flat. He has to notice where shadows will land so they won't destroy the 3D drawings he creates.
Today, more and more people are accepting and looking for his work. David's artwork can also be found across the country and even throughout the world. Photos of his drawings have been shown at many universities and museums.
4. What did David learn from drawing turtles for his father
A. Work hard. B. Follow your heart.
C. Draw what you like. D. Draw in a creative way.
5. How does David feel when knowing his drawing will be washed away
A. Relaxed. B. Worried.
C. Unhappy. D. Surprised.
6. In what way is David's art special
A. It shows his real life.
B. It is drawn on the flat sidewalk.
C. It needs a very long time to finish a drawing.
D. It is 3D street art created by simple painting tools.
7. What do we know about David's drawings
A. They are becoming popular.
B. They are too difficult to understand.
C. They are found mainly at museums.
D. They are hardly accepted by adults.

There are various reasons why people travel. Some tourists go to see battlefields or other historic remains. Others are looking for culture, or simply want to have their pictures taken in front of famous places. Most European tourists are looking for a sunny beach to lie on.
Northern Europeans are willing to pay a lot of money for the sun because they have so little of it. People of cities like London, Copenhagen and Amsterdam spend much of their winter in the dark because the days are so short, and much of the rest of the year in the rain. This is the reason why the Mediterranean（地中海）has always attracted them. Every summer many people travel to Mediterranean resorts（度假胜地）and beaches for their vacation. They all come for the same reason: sun!
The huge crowds mean lots of money for the economics of Mediterranean countries. Italy's 30,000 hotels are booked without a break every summer. And 13 million people camp on French beaches, parks and roadsides. About 37 million tourists visit there yearly, or one tourist for each person living in Spain.
But there are signs that the area is getting more tourism than it can deal with. The Mediterranean is already one of the most polluted seas on earth. None of these, however, is ruining anyone's fun. Obviously, they don't go there for clean water. They allow traffic jams and seem to like crowded beaches. They don't even mind the pollution. No matter how dirty the water is, the coastline still looks beautiful. And as long as the sun shines, it's still better than sitting in the cold rain in Berlin, London, or Oslo.
8. Europeans travel mostly for the reason that____________.
A. they want to see some famous historic sites
B. they wish to escape from the cold and darkness
C. they would like to take pictures in front of famous places
D. they are interested in different cultural and social customs
9. The underlined part in paragraph 3, "one tourist for each person living in Spain" suggests___________.
A. all the 37 million people living in Spain are tourists
B. every person living in Spain has to take care of a tourist
C. there are a large number of tourists visiting Spain
D every family in Spain is visited by a tourist every year
10. According to the text, which of the following might ruin the tourists' fun at Mediterranean resorts and beaches
A. Traffic jams. B. Crowded buses.
C. Polluted water. D. Rainy weather.
11. What is the main idea of the text
A. People travel for different reasons.
B. Travelling causes a lot of problems.
C. Europeans are fond of travelling.
D. Northern Europeans travel for "sun".
D
Older women who walk a little over three kilometers each day might live longer than less active women of the same age, a new study suggests.
Many Americans hoping to stay healthy set a daily goal of 10, 000 steps, or about eight kilometers. They often have this goal because they are wearing electronic devices which set that target, note researchers in the United States. Their findings appeared recently in the publication JAMA Internal Medicine.
But it is not clear how much intensity(强度)or speed matter when counting the health benefits of every step, the researchers write. They add that 10,000 steps per day might not be the right goal for everyone.
For the study, researchers observed 17,000 women, all in their early 70s. They asked the women to wear accelerometers for at least four days. Accelerometers are small devices that measure the number of steps and the intensity of movement. The researchers followed up with the women much later, around 4. 3 years later, on average. Since the beginning of the study, 504 women had pared to women who took no more than 2, 718 steps daily, the women who took at least 4,363 steps per day were 41 percent less likely to die.
“Even a modest amount of steps is associated with lower death rates, "said I-Min Lee, the lead writer of a report on the study. "The rate of stepping did not matter in these older women: it was the number of steps that mattered.
The study had a few limitations. For example, the researchers only measured women’s movements once, at the start of the study period. It is possible that the women’s behaviors changed over time. Still, the results are "good news for older adults who may have difficulty walking at faster paces, "said Keith Diaz, a researcher at Columbia University. He was not involved in the study.
“Any walking is better than nothing, " Diaz said by email. "With even small amounts of walking, your risk of death will be sharply reduced "For those who have difficulty walking, other research shows that any form of aerobic activity provides health benefits," he added. "Swimming, bicycling or any form of activity that is continuous in nature will provide health benefits.
12. What conclusion can we come to from the text
A. People who walk about 10,000 steps can live longer.
B. 10,000 steps per day might be the right goal for people.
C. The more steps one walks per day, the longer life he may live.
D. The number of steps is important for a long life among older women.
13. How is paragraph 4 mainly developed
A. By giving examples. B. By comparison.
C By listing statistics. D. By explaining reasons.
14. What can be leaned from what Diaz said
A. People who walk fast will get more health benefits.
B. If people have a habit of walking, the risk of death will be reduced.
C. People with walking difficulty can not benefit from activities
D. Activities such as swimming and bicycling are not as beneficial as walking.
15. Where is the text most likely from
A. A medical journal. B. A news report.
C. A magazine about fashion. D. A traveler brochure.

D
Older women who walk a little over three kilometers each day might live longer than less active women of the same age, a new study suggests.
Many Americans hoping to stay healthy set a daily goal of 10, 000 steps, or about eight kilometers. They often have this goal because they are wearing electronic devices which set that target, note researchers in the United States. Their findings appeared recently in the publication JAMA Internal Medicine.
But it is not clear how much intensity(强度)or speed matter when counting the health benefits of every step, the researchers write. They add that 10,000 steps per day might not be the right goal for everyone.
For the study, researchers observed 17,000 women, all in their early 70s. They asked the women to wear accelerometers for at least four days. Accelerometers are small devices that measure the number of steps and the intensity of movement. The researchers followed up with the women much later, around 4. 3 years later, on average. Since the beginning of the study, 504 women had pared to women who took no more than 2, 718 steps daily, the women who took at least 4,363 steps per day were 41 percent less likely to die.
“Even a modest amount of steps is associated with lower death rates, "said I-Min Lee, the lead writer of a report on the study. "The rate of stepping did not matter in these older women: it was the number of steps that mattered.
The study had a few limitations. For example, the researchers only measured women’s movements once, at the start of the study period. It is possible that the women’s behaviors changed over time. Still, the results are "good news for older adults who may have difficulty walking at faster paces, "said Keith Diaz, a researcher at Columbia University. He was not involved in the study.
“Any walking is better than nothing, " Diaz said by email. "With even small amounts of walking, your risk of death will be sharply reduced "For those who have difficulty walking, other research shows that any form of aerobic activity provides health benefits," he added. "Swimming, bicycling or any form of activity that is continuous in nature will provide health benefits.
12. What conclusion can we come to from the text
A. People who walk about 10,000 steps can live longer.
B. 10,000 steps per day might be the right goal for people.
C. The more steps one walks per day, the longer life he may live.
D. The number of steps is important for a long life among older women.
13. How is paragraph 4 mainly developed
A. By giving examples. B. By comparison.
C. By listing statistics. D. By explaining reasons.
14. What can be leaned from what Diaz said
A. People who walk fast will get more health benefits.
B. If people have a habit of walking, the risk of death will be reduced.
C. People with walking difficulty can not benefit from activities
D. Activities such as swimming and bicycling are not as beneficial as walking.
15. Where is the text most likely from
A. A medical journal. B. A news report.
C. A magazine about fashion. D. A traveler brochure.
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. B 15. A
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章通过一个研究向大家说明了，对于老人，走了多少步很重要，每天走4363步的人比每天走不多于2718步的人死亡概率降低41%。虽然研究也存在一些缺陷，但是可以说明只要走路就是对身体有益的。
【12题详解】
主旨大意题。根据全文，尤其第5段的内容“The rate of stepping did not matter in these older women: it was the number of steps that mattered.”可知，每天走的步数对身体健康很重要。并且第二段明确指出10000步这个目标不是适用于每个人的。所以选项AB都不正确。选项C（走的越多越长寿）描述太偏激，也不正确。故选D。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段内容看出，该段主要通过列举一系列数字来说明一项研究结果。A. By giving examples 举例；B. By comparison 对比；C. By listing statistics列数据；D. By explaining reasons 解释原因。故选C。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后两段，尤其最后一段Keith Diaz所说的话“Any walking is better than nothing”与“With even small amounts of walking, your risk of death will be sharply reduced”能看出，即使每天走的数量不多，也会极大地减少死亡风险，故选B。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。文章是关于健康的一项研究报道，应出现在医学杂志上。A. medical journal医学杂志；B. A news report.新闻报道；C. A magazine about fashion.时尚杂志；D. A traveler brochure.旅行手册。故选A。
【点睛】文章来源的推断题在高中英语中常见。主要有根据文体和题材特点推断文章来源或根据文章内容和结构推断文章来源。例如如果文中出现日期、地点或通讯社名称，我们可以推知文章来自于报纸，如果文中出现网络用词（click 点击；online在线；web网络等）可以推知文章来自于网站，例如本篇文章中的第四题就属于推断文章来源题目，由文章涉及的话题（live longer，health，death）以及文章中科学研究的举例，可以推知这篇文章出自于医学杂志。这类题目同学们多积累这些词汇，特别是还要积累选项中的词汇（避免下次选项不认识），解题准确度会提升很多。

【详解】考查一般将来时。句意：这个周末我们要去山里徒步旅行，欣赏美丽的景色。分析句子可知，时间状语是this weekend，表示在周末计划做某事，使用be doing形式表示按计划、安排即将发生的动作，常用于位置转移的动词，例如go，符合本句语境。且并列连词and前后连接V-ing形式，and后省略be动词。故选D项。

A. to lose; is B. losing; was
C. lose; was D. losing; is
【答案】B
【解析】
【分析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词、时态和主谓一致。句意：当时，失去两名重要球员对郎平来说是个大问题。第一空，作句子的主语，应用动名词形式；第二空，根据上文At that time可知用一般过去时，主语为动名词，谓语动词用单数。故选B。
55. Whenever I'm seated alone in the room, I find myself to the picture on the wall.
A. attracting B. attracted C. to be attracted D. being attracted
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查过去分词。句意：每当我独自坐在房间里，我就会被墙上的画吸引。find sb done是find+宾语+宾语补足语结构，此处myself和attract之间是被动关系，所以用过去分词表示被动，故选B项。
