An Israeli law banning too skinny models went into effect with the start of 2013. The law, approved last March in Israel, requires models to prove they have maintained a Body Mass Index (BMI) of at least 18.5 for three months before a fashion show. That means a woman who is 68 inches tall can weigh no less than 119 pounds.
“This law is another step in the war against eating disorders,” said physician Adatto. “Underweight models,” he explained, “can no longer serve as role models for innocent young people who copy their false image of being skinny.”
But some critics in this country say it is misguided, focusing on weight instead of health. They also say the Israeli ban is bound to fail because of the strong power of the fashion industry. “I think it’s an approach that isn’t going to work.” said eating disorder expert Susan Ice, who worked with an organization which creates a healthy working environment for models.
But Adatto told the reporter that he began to concern the issue after meeting an ambitious model who looked like she needed to be hospitalized. He said. “I realized that only legislation(立法) can change the situation. There was no time to waste; so many girls were dieting to death.”
However, the efforts to regulate models’ weight in Spain and Italy have not resulted in significant changes in part because of difficulties in determining reliable methods of measuring weight and health.
Still, folks including Ice say there’s no denying that images from Hollywood and the fashion industry can be difficult for young women to deal with. “Certainly I don't believe the modeling industry has caused the rise in eating disorders, but it makes it harder,” she says. “It’s a difficult recovery environment, worshiping thinness as the beauty ideal.”
4. One benefit the new Israeli law may bring is ______.
A. to change the working conditions of models
B. to lower the chance of skinny models’ death
C. to provide guidance for women worshiping thinness
D. to prevent models from suffering from eating disorders
5. In the opinion of the critics the law won’t succeed because _______.
A. it misleads young women to form a bad eating habit
B. the fashion industry is much too influential
C. it doesn’t create a healthy working environment for models
D. it doesn’t provide a proper approach that can work well
6. What caused Adatto to think that a law was needed to change the situation
A. Being interviewed by a reporter.
B. Establishing his fashion model agent.
C. Meeting an ambitious but too skinny model.
D. Seeing a model die from eating disorders.
7. According to the passage, the new Israeli law banning skinny models is _____ .
A. practical B. controversial
C. acceptable D. reasonable
C
Recently,a competition making up Versailles literature was launched on Sina Weibo. So what is Versailles literature
Actually, the term has nothing to do with the French palace nor with literature. It came from The Rose of Versailles, a Japanese comics series about aristocratic(贵族化的)life at the palace of Versailles in France in the late 18th century, and was coined by a Chinese influencer earlier this year. Known as humblebragging, it is a boast(吹牛)pretended as a complaint. “I have too many houses. How can I decide which one to decorate ” and “I thought I lost weight this morning. So disappointed when I realized it was because I took off the huge diamond ring my boyfriend gave me last night” are some examples of Versailles literature. The intention is to show off --- usually things of materialistic values, yet one ought to pretend that’s not the point.
As the 19th century English author Jane Austen famously wrote, “Nothing is more cheating than the appearance of modesty.” The psychology behind humblebragging is to be recognized for one’s successes and be liked by others at the same time, according to scholars. In her article titled Why do people hate humblebragging published in Psychology Today, psychologist Dr. Susan Krauss Whitbourne at the University of Massachusetts Amherst noted that humblebragging is a “strategy in search of respect” because it draws attention to one’s accomplishments in a circuitous way.
However, studies on social media users show that humblebragging as a self-promotion strategy does not work. In the essay Humblebragging: A distinct and ineffective self-presentation strategy, the University of North Carolina researcher Ovul Sezer and Harvard University scholars Francesca Gino and Michael Norton concluded from their research that humblebraggers are thought more negatively than straight braggers due to the former’s insincerity. “The critical factor differentiating the two groups of people is sincerity. People don’t like braggers, but they at least see them as more sincere than humblebraggers,” said Francesca Gino.
So, how can we annoy humblebraggers back “Just pretend you don’t get whatever it is they try to show off,” a netizen advised. “And respond with genuine sympathy for their complaints.”
8. Which of the following statements is typical of “Versailles literature”
A. You know who my father is My father is Li Gang.
B. Got five offers to date. I’m at a loss which to choose.
C. It’s a headache how to make my son tidy up his room regularly.
D. I’m fed up with living in the countryside with no shopping malls around.
9. What is the psychology behind humblebragging
A. To win others’ sympathy. B. To earn others’ admiration.
C. To show his/her sincerity. D. To mask his/her complaint.
10. What does the underlined world “circuitous” in Paragraph 3 probably mean
A. indirect. B. straightforward. C. unclear. D. double-edged.
11. What can’t be inferred from the passage
A. Braggers are relatively more sincere than humblebraggers.
B. Humblebragging is an artificial appearance of being humble.
C. To respond with real sympathy will discourage humblebraggers.
D. If you want to be viewed positively, avoid using Versailles literature.
D
Researchers from the MIT Media Lab, Boston Children’s Hospital, and Northeastern University used a robotic teddy bear, “Huggable”, across the Boston Children’s Hospital. More than 50 hospitalized children were divided into three groups that involved Huggable, a tablet-based virtual Huggable, or a traditional toy teddy bear. In general, the robotic Huggable improved various patient outcomes over the other two choices.
When first designed, Huggable was operated remotely by a specialist outside a child’ s room for the moment. Through software, a specialist could control the robot’s facial expressions and body actions. The specialists could also talk through a speaker — with their voice automatically changed to sound more childlike — and monitor the participants via camera.
During the treatments involving Huggable for kids aged 3 to 10 years, a specialist would sing nursery rhymes to younger children through the robotic bear and move the arms during the song. Older kids would play the I Spy game, where they had to guess an object in the room described by the specialist through Huggable. Through self-reports and questionnaires, the researchers recorded how much the patients and families liked Huggable. A greater percentage of children and their parents reported that the children enjoyed playing with Huggable more than with the virtual figure or traditional teddy bear.
The study proved the possibility of including Huggable in the treatments for children. Results also showed that children playing with Huggable experienced more positive emotions overall. They also got out of bed and moved around more, and emotionally connected with the robot, asking it personal questions and inviting it to come back later to meet their families. “Such improved emotional and physical outcomes are all positive factors that could contribute to hospitalized children’ s better and faster recovery,” the researchers write in their study.
The study also provided a basis for developing a fully autonomous Huggable robot, which is the researchers’ final goal. In the future, that automated robot could be used to improve children’ s further treatment and care, and monitor their well-being.
12. What can we learn about Huggable
A. It was first designed for disabled kids.
B It can make facial expressions.
C. It talks like a caring parent.
D. It works automatically.
13. How did the children find Huggable
A. Favorable. B. Conventional.
C. Disappointing. D. Unhelpful.
14. How did Huggable help the hospitalized children with their treatment
A. It improved their mental experience.
B. It protected them from possible virus.
C. It gave tips on taking good care of young patients.
D. It provided up-to-date information about their diseases.
15 What is the text mainly about
A. The fast development of robots in medical area.
B. A new technology in medicine to treat children.
C. Robots’ advantages over other methods of treatment.
D. A robotic teddy bear used in caring for hospitalized children.

Boxing is a popular sport that many people seem to be crazy about. Newspapers, magazines and sports programs on TV frequently cover boxing matches. ____16____
It seems to me that some people, especially men find it attractive because it is an aggressive(攻击性的) sport. When they watch a boxing match, they can identify with the winning boxer, and this gives them the feeling of being a winner themselves. It is a fact that many people have feelings of aggression from time to time, but they cannot show their aggression in their everyday lives. ____17____
However, there is a negative side to boxing. ____18____ Although boxers wear gloves during the fights, and amateur(业余的) boxers even have to wear helmets, there have frequently been accidents in both professional and amateur boxing, sometimes with terrible results.

____20____ I think it would be better if less time was given to aggressive sports on TV, and we welcomed more men and women from non-aggressive sports as our heroes and heroines in our society. I believe that the world is aggressive enough already! Of course, people like competitive sports, and so do I, but I think that hitting other people in an aggressive way is not something that should be regarded as a sport.
A. It can be a very dangerous sport.
B. Watching a boxing match gives them an outlet for this aggression.
C. In my personal opinion, boxing can be so thrilling that many people dare not have a try.
D. I am personally not at all in favor of aggressive sports like boxing.

An Israeli law banning too skinny models went into effect with the start of 2013. The law, approved last March in Israel, requires models to prove they have maintained a Body Mass Index (BMI) of at least 18.5 for three months before a fashion show. That means a woman who is 68 inches tall can weigh no less than 119 pounds.
“This law is another step in the war against eating disorders,” said physician Adatto. “Underweight models,” he explained, “can no longer serve as role models for innocent young people who copy their false image of being skinny.”
But some critics in this country say it is misguided, focusing on weight instead of health. They also say the Israeli ban is bound to fail because of the strong power of the fashion industry. “I think it’s an approach that isn’t going to work.” said eating disorder expert Susan Ice, who worked with an organization which creates a healthy working environment for models.
But Adatto told the reporter that he began to concern the issue after meeting an ambitious model who looked like she needed to be hospitalized. He said. “I realized that only legislation(立法) can change the situation. There was no time to waste; so many girls were dieting to death.”
However, the efforts to regulate models’ weight in Spain and Italy have not resulted in significant changes in part because of difficulties in determining reliable methods of measuring weight and health.
Still, folks including Ice say there’s no denying that images from Hollywood and the fashion industry can be difficult for young women to deal with. “Certainly I don't believe the modeling industry has caused the rise in eating disorders, but it makes it harder,” she says. “It’s a difficult recovery environment, worshiping thinness as the beauty ideal.”
4. One benefit the new Israeli law may bring is ______.
A. to change the working conditions of models
B. to lower the chance of skinny models’ death
C. to provide guidance for women worshiping thinness
D. to prevent models from suffering from eating disorders
5. In the opinion of the critics, the law won’t succeed because _______.
A. it misleads young women to form a bad eating habit
B. the fashion industry is much too influential
C. it doesn’t create a healthy working environment for models
D. it doesn’t provide a proper approach that can work well
6. What caused Adatto to think that a law was needed to change the situation
A. Being interviewed by a reporter.
B. Establishing his fashion model agent.
C. Meeting an ambitious but too skinny model.
D. Seeing a model die from eating disorders.
7. According to the passage, the new Israeli law banning skinny models is _____ .
A. practical B. controversial
C. acceptable D. reasonable
【答案】4. D 5. B 6. C 7. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了在时尚产业中，年轻模特追求过度纤瘦唯美产生的社会问题。

Recently,a competition making up Versailles literature was launched on Sina Weibo. So what is Versailles literature
Actually, the term has nothing to do with the French palace nor with literature. It came from The Rose of Versailles, a Japanese comics series about aristocratic(贵族化的)life at the palace of Versailles in France in the late 18th century, and was coined by a Chinese influencer earlier this year. Known as humblebragging, it is a boast(吹牛)pretended as a complaint. “I have too many houses. How can I decide which one to decorate ” and “I thought I lost weight this morning. So disappointed when I realized it was because I took off the huge diamond ring my boyfriend gave me last night” are some examples of Versailles literature. The intention is to show off --- usually things of materialistic values, yet one ought to pretend that’s not the point.
As the 19th century English author Jane Austen famously wrote, “Nothing is more cheating than the appearance of modesty.” The psychology behind humblebragging is to be recognized for one’s successes and be liked by others at the same time, according to scholars. In her article titled Why do people hate humblebragging published in Psychology Today, psychologist Dr. Susan Krauss Whitbourne at the University of Massachusetts Amherst noted that humblebragging is a “strategy in search of respect” because it draws attention to one’s accomplishments in a circuitous way.
However, studies on social media users show that humblebragging as a self-promotion strategy does not work. In the essay Humblebragging: A distinct and ineffective self-presentation strategy, the University of North Carolina researcher Ovul Sezer and Harvard University scholars Francesca Gino and Michael Norton concluded from their research that humblebraggers are thought more negatively than straight braggers due to the former’s insincerity. “The critical factor differentiating the two groups of people is sincerity. People don’t like braggers, but they at least see them as more sincere than humblebraggers,” said Francesca Gino.
So, how can we annoy humblebraggers back “Just pretend you don’t get whatever it is they try to show off,” a netizen advised. “And respond with genuine sympathy for their complaints.”
8. Which of the following statements is typical of “Versailles literature”
A. You know who my father is My father is Li Gang.
B. Got five offers to date. I’m at a loss which to choose.
C. It’s a headache how to make my son tidy up his room regularly.
D. I’m fed up with living in the countryside with no shopping malls around.
9. What is the psychology behind humblebragging
A. To win others’ sympathy. B. To earn others’ admiration.
C. To show his/her sincerity. D. To mask his/her complaint.
10. What does the underlined world “circuitous” in Paragraph 3 probably mean
A. indirect. B. straightforward. C. unclear. D. double-edged.
11. What can’t be inferred from the passage
A. Braggers are relatively more sincere than humblebraggers.
B. Humblebragging is an artificial appearance of being humble.
C. To respond with real sympathy will discourage humblebraggers.
D. If you want to be viewed positively avoid using Versailles literature.
【答案】8. B 9. B 10. A 11. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。主要讲述了“凡尔赛文学”的来源以及存在形式。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Known as humblebragging, it is a boast(吹牛)pretended as a complaint. “I have too many houses. How can I decide which one to decorate ” and “I thought I lost weight this morning. So disappointed when I realized it was because I took off the huge diamond ring my boyfriend gave me last night” are some examples of Versailles literature. The intention is to show off --- usually things of materialistic values, yet one ought to pretend that’s not the point.(这被称为谦虚自夸，是一种伪装成抱怨的自夸。“我房子太多了，我怎么决定要装饰那一套呢？”和“我以为今天早上我瘦了，当我意识到是因为我把昨天晚上男朋友送给我的巨大钻戒摘下来的时候，我很失望”是凡尔赛文学的例子。其目的是炫耀——通常是一些物质价值的东西，但人们假装这不是重点)”可知，凡尔赛文学是指谦虚自夸，是一种伪装成抱怨的自夸，其目的是炫耀——通常是一些物质价值的东西；选项B. Got five offers to date. I’m at a loss which to choose.(到目前为止有五个人约我，我不知道要选哪一个)符合要求。故选B。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“The psychology behind humblebragging is to be recognized for one’s successes and be liked by others at the same time, according to scholars.(根据学者们的研究，谦虚自夸背后的心理是为了在获得成功的同时得到别人的认可和喜欢)”可知，谦虚自夸背后的心理是为了赢得别人的羡慕。故选B。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线部分所在句子“…humblebragging is a “strategy in search of respect” because it draws attention to one’s accomplishments in a circuitous way. (……谦虚自夸是一种“追求尊重的策略”因为它以一种circuitous方式来吸引人们的注意力到一个人的成就上)”可知，谦虚自夸是用谦虚的方式来吹牛，一种迂回的炫耀方式。所以circuitous应为迂回的，间接的。故选A。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“People don’t like braggers, but they at least see them as more sincere than humblebraggers(人们不喜欢吹牛的人，但至少他们觉得这些人比谦虚自夸者更真诚)”可推知A. Braggers are relatively more sincere than humblebraggers.(吹牛的人要比谦虚自夸者更真诚)正确；根据第三段“Nothing is more cheating than the appearance of modesty(没有什么比谦虚的外表更容易骗人了)”可推知B. Humblebragging is an artificial appearance of being humble.(谦虚自夸是一种虚假的谦虚外表)正确；根据最后一段“So, how can we annoy humblebraggers back “Just pretend you don’t get whatever it is they try to show off,” a netizen advised. “And respond with genuine sympathy for their complaints.”(所以，我们该如何回应这些谦虚的吹牛者呢？一位网友建议道：“他们想炫耀什么，你就假装什么都不懂吧，并且对他们的抱怨报以真诚的同情”)”可知，C. To respond with real sympathy will discourage humblebraggers.(用真正的同情来回应会让谦虚的吹牛者泄气)正确；而文中并没有提到如何被认可，所以D. If you want to be viewed positively, avoid using Versailles literature.(如果你想要被正面地看待，避免使用凡尔赛文学)没有被提到。故选D。

Researchers from the MIT Media Lab, Boston Children’s Hospital, and Northeastern University used a robotic teddy bear, “Huggable”, across the Boston Children’s Hospital. More than 50 hospitalized children were divided into three groups that involved Huggable, a tablet-based virtual Huggable, or a traditional toy teddy bear. In general, the robotic Huggable improved various patient outcomes over the other two choices.
When first designed, Huggable was operated remotely by a specialist outside a child’ s room for the moment. Through software, a specialist could control the robot’s facial expressions and body actions. The specialists could also talk through a speaker — with their voice automatically changed to sound more childlike — and monitor the participants via camera.
During the treatments involving Huggable for kids aged 3 to 10 years, a specialist would sing nursery rhymes to younger children through the robotic bear and move the arms during the song. Older kids would play the I Spy game, where they had to guess an object in the room described by the specialist through Huggable. Through self-reports and questionnaires, the researchers recorded how much the patients and families liked Huggable. A greater percentage of children and their parents reported that the children enjoyed playing with Huggable more than with the virtual figure or traditional teddy bear.
The study proved the possibility of including Huggable in the treatments for children. Results also showed that children playing with Huggable experienced more positive emotions overall. They also got out of bed and moved around more, and emotionally connected with the robot, asking it personal questions and inviting it to come back later to meet their families. “Such improved emotional and physical outcomes are all positive factors that could contribute to hospitalized children’ s better and faster recovery,” the researchers write in their study.
The study also provided a basis for developing a fully autonomous Huggable robot, which is the researchers’ final goal. In the future, that automated robot could be used to improve children’ s further treatment and care, and monitor their well-being.
12. What can we learn about Huggable
A. It was first designed for disabled kids.
B. It can make facial expressions.
C. It talks like a caring parent.
D. It works automatically.
13. How did the children find Huggable
A. Favorable. B. Conventional.
C. Disappointing. D. Unhelpful.
14. How did Huggable help the hospitalized children with their treatment
A. It improved their mental experience.
B. It protected them from possible virus.
C. It gave tips on taking good care of young patients.
D. It provided up-to-date information about their diseases.
15. What is the text mainly about
A. The fast development of robots in medical area.

【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了新一代飞行汽车AirCar的一些相关情况。
【41题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：AirCar是最新一代的飞行汽车，它可以在不到3分钟的时间内从陆路交通工具转变为空中交通工具。此处为定语从句，先行词是flying car，从句中作主语，应用关系代词，又因为名词前有最高级the latest修饰，只能用关系代词that引导。故填that。
【42题详解】
考查名词复数。句意：用于休闲和自动驾驶旅行，只需单击一下按钮，车辆即可从驾驶模式转换为飞行模式。journey是可数名词，前面没有限定词，应用复数形式。故填journeys。
【43题详解】
考查动词时态。句意：迄今为止，由斯特凡·克莱因教授设计的第五代飞行汽车已经在斯洛伐克的皮耶什佳尼机场完成了两次飞行测试。根据时间状语so far可知，应用现在完成时，主语The fifth generation flying car为单数概念。故填has completed。
【44题详解】
考查动词时态及语态。句意：两座的AirCar重1100公斤，每次飞行可承受200公斤的额外负载。根据语境可知，此处使用一般现在时；weigh意为“重量为”，使用主动语态。故填weighs。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：该汽车飞机由BMW1.6升发动机提供动力，有效输出功率为140马力。此处与主语the car-plane是逻辑动宾关系，应用过去分词作状语，意为“被提供动力”。故填Powered。
【46题详解】
考查名词。句意：估计车辆的行驶范围为1000公里，每小时飞行消耗18升。此处是名词短语作主语，consumption“消耗”，抽象名词，不可数。故填consumption。
【47题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：AirCar可以从地面车辆转变为飞机，其速度可达200公里/小时。此处与its speed是逻辑主谓关系，应用现在分词，作宾语补足语。故填reaching。
【48题详解】
考查形容词。句意：但最重要的是，AirCar的稳定性和可控性是任何飞行员都能掌握的。根据句意可知，此处短语be accessible to sb.意为“容易被某人接近、使用”。故填accessible。
【49题详解】
考查介词。句意：有了AirCar，你就可以到达目的地，而不必有坐飞机去机场并经过商业安全检查的麻烦。根据句子可知，使用AirCar到达目的地，就不会有后面说的这些问题，应用介词without“没有”。故填without。
50题详解】
考查冠词。句意：你可以开着AirCar去高尔夫球场、办公室、购物中心或酒店，把它停在一个普通的停车位上。分析句子结构可知，设空处缺少冠词修饰normal parking space，结合句意可知，此处表示泛指，又因normal为辅音音素开头的单词，故用不定冠词a。故填a。

In your e-mail, you ask me for some suggestions about how to have a healthy family. Here is my advice. Generally spoken, a healthy family needs efforts of every family member. First, it is obviously that parents should treat their children equally, that are important for the family. What’s more, children or parents both benefit from having some day-to-day routines. In the addition, every member should give other member right expectations. Finally, you should love my own family life. In a word, if you want to own a healthy family, it is the positive attitude which are of great importance. I would appreciate very much if you could write back and give me your own opinion.
【答案】1. ask→ asked 2. spoken→ speaking 3. obviously →obvious 4. that→which5. or→and
6. 去掉the 7. member→members 8. my→your 9. are→is 10. very前加it
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇应用文。文章就关于如何拥有一个健康的家庭提出了一些建议。
【详解】1.考查时态。句意：在你的邮件中，你问我一些关于如何拥有一个健康的家庭的建议。根据“In your e-mail”可知，作者是对邮件的回复，在邮件中问的问题应该是属于过去时态。故将ask改为asked。
2.考查固定搭配。句意： 一般来说，一个健康的家庭需要每个家庭成员的努力。根据句意可知， Generally speaking (一般来说)属于固定搭配。故将 spoken改为speaking。
3.考查形容词。句意：首先，很明显，父母应该平等地对待他们的孩子，这对家庭来说是重要的。分析语法结构可知，be动词后面跟形容词做表语表状态。故把obviously改为obvious。
4.考查定语从句。句意：首先，很明显，父母应该平等地对待他们的孩子，这对家庭来说是重要的。根据equally后面的逗号可知，后面的从句应该是非限制性定语从句，引导词在从句中做主语，that不能引导非限制性定语从句，所以用关系代词which来引导，故将that改为which。
5.考查连词。句意：更重要的是，孩子和父母都能从日常生活中受益。根据本句中的both可知，孩子和父母双方都能受益，or表选择关系，and表并列关系，所以需要用and。故将or改为and。
6.考查固定搭配。句意：此外，每个成员都应该给予其他成员正确的期望。根据前文的First和What’s more可知，本句用固定短语in addition来表“此外”。故去掉the。
7.考查名词。句意：此外，每个成员都应该给予其他成员正确的期望。根据下文的expectations可知，家庭其他成员指的是复数，所以用名词的复数形式。故将 member改为 members。
8.考查形容词性物主代词。句意：最后，你应该爱你自己的家庭生活。根据下文“if you want to own a healthy family”可知，说得是你的家庭，故将my改为your。
9.考查主谓一致。句意：总之，如果你想拥有一个健康的家庭，积极的态度是非常重要的。根据本句中the positive attitude 可知，attitude是单数，在which引导的定语从句中，which指代attitude，所以be动词用单数形式，且整个句子是一般现在时。故将are改为is。
10.考查固定搭配。句意：如果你能给我回信并给出你自己的意见，我将非常感激。分析句意可知，用“ I would appreciate it……if”这一固定搭配来表示“我将非常感激”。故在very前加it。
