My violin is like a soulmate that whispers words of wisdom to me.Together, we've gone through both tears and happiness.
About 12 years ago I made acquaintance with it following an order from my mom.Many hours of boredom were spent practicing it.And to make things worse, the disappointment in my teacher's eyes as I played the wrong notes was like an invisible (隐形的) hammer, striking on my heart.One day, I finally decided: I hate it!
By chance, things changed when I was seven.I was at home lying on the sofa, wondering how those famous violinists dealt with this terrible dilemma (困境)．I searched online for the E minor Concerto, a well known violin work by German composer Felix Mendelssohn, and listened to it.
A beautiful and mysterious sound came from the violin as the bow moved across it.It was like the music slid over the flowers, rose up, and started to fill the air.The violin's voice woke up the sun, made the trees green, and freshened the air.As the music changed, the sky turned back to gray.A gloomy shade covered the grass as all the sunshine disappeared.I could hear children crying and men shouting.It was like an invisible claw (爪子) had grabbed my heart tightly, making it unable to beat.
That glorious day set off my passion and interest in violin — I grabbed mine and never let it go.Before the memories faded, I stared at my instrument.Without hesitating, I picked it up, rosined the bow, and began to play.Peace filled my heart.
My violin has been by my side for 12 years.When I feel happy, an energetic tune makes it even better; when I'm deep in sorrow, a peaceful tune washes it away; when I'm walking on air, feeling especially pleased with my achievements, solemn tunes calm me down.Gradually, it has become a part of my life.
My violin, shall I compare you to a summer's day
语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。作者讲述了自己小时候被妈妈要求学小提琴，后来由于无聊和失望而放弃，无意中因为一首名曲又有了学习的热情，一直坚持了12年到现在，小提琴已经成了生活的一部分，成了作者的灵魂伴侣。
4．What further contributed to the author's dislike of violin playing

B．Boredom of practice.
C．Disappointment in the teacher's eyes.
D．Loss of passion for violin.
解析：选C 细节理解题。根据第二段中的And to make things worse, the disappointment in my teacher's eyes as I played the wrong notes was like an invisible(隐形的) hammer, striking on my heart.可知，当作者演奏错误时，老师失望的眼神加剧了作者对小提琴的不喜欢，故选C项。
5．What can be inferred from Paragraph 4
A．The weather actually changed because of the tune.
B．The scenery outside the room was quite attractive.
C．The sudden change made the author's heart unable to beat.
D．The author's feeling was continuously influenced by the music.
解析：选D 推理判断题。根据第四段中的It was like the music slid over the flowers, rose up, and started to fill the air.The violin's voice woke up the sun, made the trees green, and freshened the air.As the music changed, the sky turned back to gray.可知，这些是对优美琴声的描写，表现了琴声对人心情的影响，人的心情会随着音乐而变化。由此判断，作者的感受不断受到音乐的影响，故选D项。
6．Why did the author pick up the violin again
A．The invisible hammer and claw are gone.
B．A famous tune aroused his interest and passion.
C．The beautiful imagination changed his attitude.
D．He was crazy about Felix Mendelssohn's works.
解析：选B 推理判断题。根据第三段中的I searched online for the E minor Concerto, a well known violin work by German composer Felix Mendelssohn, and listened to it.和第五段中的That glorious day set off my passion and interest in violin — I grabbed mine and never let it go.可知，Felix Mendelssohn的E minor Concerto这首名曲让作者对小提琴又有了兴趣和热情，故选B项。
7．Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A．Musical Soulmate — Violin
B．My Dislike and Like of Violin
C．An Inspiring Story of Violin
D．Deep Love for Violin Music
解析：选A 标题归纳题。根据第一段My violin is like a soulmate that whispers words of wisdom to me.Together, we've gone through both tears and happiness.并结合文章内容可知，A项(音乐心灵伴侣——小提琴)概括了全文意思，又能吸引读者，为最佳标题。

What's your opinion on spicy food Some people cannot handle even the smallest amount of chili peppers in their dinner while others can't get enough of them.
Scientists have long been puzzled by why some people love the chili while others loathe it.Plenty of research has been done on the subject, dating as far back as the 1970s.Previous results showed that a love of chilies is related to childhood experiences, and that cultural influences affect our taste too.But the latest study has found that a person's love of spicy food may be linked to his or her personality more than anything else, CBC News reported.
“We have always assumed that liking drives intake — we eat what we like and we like what we eat.But no one has actually directly bothered to connect personality with intake of chili peppers，” said Professor John E．Hayes from Pennsylvania State University, who led the study.
But before you look at the study, you should first know that “spicy” is not a taste, unlike sour, sweet, bitter and salty taste.It is, in fact, a burning feeling that you feel on the surface of your tongue.This got scientists thinking that maybe a love of spicy food is brought about by people's longing for thrill, something they usually get from watching action movies or riding a roller coaster.
In the study, 97 participants, both male and female, were asked to fill out questionnaires about their personality, for example, whether they like new experiences or tend to avoid risks.They were then given a glass of water with capsaicin (辣椒素), the plant chemical that makes a chili burn, mixed into it.
By comparing the answers to the questionnaire and what participants said they felt about the spicy water, researchers found that those who tended to enjoy action movies or take risks were about six times more likely to enjoy the spicy water.
Interestingly, we used to believe that the reason why some people can withstand (耐受) spicy food is that their tongues have become less sensitive to it.However, this latest study has found otherwise.“It's not that it doesn't burn as badly, but that you actually learn to like the burning feeling，” Hayes explained.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。研究表明人们喜欢吃辣味的食物跟一个人的性格有关。
8．What's the meaning of the underlined word “loathe” in the second paragraph
A．Dislike. B．Fear.
C．Put up with. D．Adapt to.
解析：选A 词义猜测题。画线词所在句中的while意为“而，然而”，表示对比，故画线词loathe与love意思相反，故选A项(不喜欢)。
9．What did Professor John E．Hayes and his team discover from their study
A．What we eat actually helps to develop our personality.
B．Males are more likely to enjoy spicy food than females.
C．Those trying to avoid risks tend to be less interested in spicy food.
D．People are wrong to treat “spicy” as a kind of taste rather than a feeling.
解析：选C 推理判断题。根据第四段中的This got scientists thinking that maybe a love of spicy food is brought about by people's longing for thrill, something they usually get from watching action movies or riding a roller coaster.及倒数第二段中的researchers found that those who tended to enjoy action movies or take risks were about six times more likely to enjoy the spicy water可知，喜欢冒险、刺激的人会更喜欢辣的食物。由此可以推断出，不喜欢冒险的人不太喜欢辣的食物，故选C项。
10．Why do some people like spicy food according to the recent study
A．Because their taste has become less sensitive.
B．Because they love the burning feeling.
C．Because they want to challenge themselves.
D．Because the more they try spicy food, the less it burns.
解析：选B 细节理解题。根据最后一段可知，我们过去认为一些人之所以能忍受辛辣食物是因为他们的舌头对辛辣食物变得不那么敏感了。然而，这项最新研究却发现事情不是这样的。喜欢吃辣的人实际上是喜欢燃烧的感觉。故选B项。
11．What's the main idea of the passage
A．What one likes to eat mainly depends on one's personality.
B．Whether one enjoys spicy food depends largely on one's personality.
C．One's personal experiences have nothing to do with their taste.
D．Different people have different taste.
解析：选B 主旨大意题。根据第二段中的But the latest study has found that a person's love of spicy food may be linked to his or her personality more than anything else, CBC News reported.可知，人们喜欢吃辣味的食物跟一个人的性格有关。本文对此研究做出了具体说明，故选B项。
Ⅱ.阅读七选五
Learning should never stop.The same way applies for self improvement. 1 .Here are four reasons why self improvement is important regardless of your age.
Increase self awareness
Self awareness is an ongoing journey. 2 ， which make you more aware of your personality, thoughts and feelings.So, in order to be on the path of self improvement, it is important to never lose touch with yourself.
Enhance strengths
Self improvement lets you identify your personal strengths, from relationships to careers — knowing your strengths is important for every aspect of your life.It gives you a better understanding of what you are seeking and where you are likely to be more excellent. 3 .After all, you can only achieve what you want when you know what you want.
Overcome weaknesses
4 ， you should come to terms with your weaknesses.Don't be ashamed of them.Look at them as areas of improvement.We all have strengths and weaknesses that shape our personality.It is these imperfections that make us humans.
5
Choosing to work on improving yourself requires you to take your trip out of comfortable areas.It lets you face your fears, try new things, take risks and challenge yourself.There will be times when you will discover a new side of your personality but there will also be times when you will fail.
A．Improve mental health
B．Step out of comfort zone
C．It also helps you set life goals and make them happen
D．When you refuse to improve yourself in your daily life
E．Though identifying strengths is an important aspect of self improvement
F．As life progresses, you are met with different experiences and challenges
G．That's to say, self improvement is of great importance no matter how old you are
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要列举了自我提高在生命任何阶段都很重要的四个原因。
1．选G 根据下文Here are four reasons why self improvement is important regardless of your age.可知，G项(也就是说，无论你多大，自我提高都很重要)符合文意。G项importance和no matter how old you are 与文中important和regardless of your age同义。
2．选F 根据上文Self awareness is an ongoing journey.可知，自我意识是一个持续的过程。故F项(随着生命的进展，你会遇到不同的经历和挑战)符合文意。F项中As life progresses符合上文中an ongoing journey，且空后的定语从句中which指代的是F项中的different experiences and challenges。
3．选C 根据上文It gives you a better understanding of what you are seeking and where you are likely to be more excellent.可知，C项(它也会帮助你设定人生目标，并让它们实现)符合文意，都说得knowing your strengths的好处。上下句中的it指的都是knowing your strengths。
4．选E 根据本段小标题Overcome weaknesses可知，本段讲述克服弱点。E项(尽管知道自己的长处是自我提高的重要方面)与空后句you should come to terms with your weaknesses承接自然，且符合本段语境。
5．选B 空处是段落小标题。根据下文Choosing to work on improving yourself requires you to take your trip out of comfortable areas.It lets you face your fears, try new things, take risks and challenge yourself.可知，本段主要讲述走出舒适区。B项(走出舒适区)适合作为本段小标题。

How to Improve Self confidence
Self confidence proves a vital key to becoming successful in life.Although no one is born with self confidence, you can achieve such if you put in the effort and time.
Determine the negative energy that surrounds in your life.Change your environment to something more positive.Surround yourself with people who make you happy and enjoy life more.Sometimes this involves letting go of some people from your life or even becoming part of a new social circle.
Make a list of your positive traits.If you have a gift for art, improve that skill.Enjoying what you do proves vital to building self confidence.
Take one step at a time.For example, if you have as your goal to get a promotion at work, you may decide to improve your work skills and self image.List specific action steps and create a detailed timeline to each step.The moment you take that first step, you start the process of reducing your lack of self confidence.
Take mental breaks.This can help remove the stress you have inside.Any routine that can help you feel better not only about your body but also your mind will work.
Reward yourself.It is okay to take pride in your achievements.If your presentation proved successful, treat yourself after all the effort you have made.Reinforce to yourself that you can achieve whatever you want and begin to show everyone the self confidence you have.
[理解] Read the passage and answer the following questions.1．What kind of people should you surround yourself with People who make you happy and enjoy life more.2．Why should people take mental breaks Because this can help people remove the stress that they have inside. [积累] 1．put in the effort and time 投入精力和时间2．let go of 放弃，舍弃3．trait n. (人的个性的)特征，特性，特点4．reward v. 奖励，奖赏5．reinforce v. 加强；充实

SOCIAL MEDIA① DETOX②
Moderator③
Today marks the last day of the Social Media Detox, Brenton High's fundraising④ campaign for new sports equipment⑤.At the start of the detox, over 100 students had been persuaded to stop using social media, in ANY form, for seven days.This meant no messaging friends, no posting⑥ photos, no blogging — nothing.They had been promised money by family and friends for each day [1]spent without using social media.They were excited.They were nervous.But could they do it

Then I decided to visit a different friend every day.By the fifth day, I wondered — was I really missing out by not constantly checking my phone [10]to see what everyone else was up to
[10]动词不定式短语to see what everyone else was up to作目的状语；what引导宾语从句，作动词see的宾语。
George 16
I did all seven days, too! To be honest ， I didn't find the detox too difficult, but I did give my phone to my dad to avoid giving in！ My brother thought I should make full use of the time without my phone, so he took me to check out our local sports centre.An hour's sport each day left me tired out and wanting to go to bed early.The detox made me healthier!
Max 17
I'm embarrassed to say that I threw in the towel on the first day! I knew there was a party [11]happening that evening, but without access to social media I couldn't remember [12]where it was! In the end, I turned on my phone to check, but couldn't resist having a quick look at my social media accounts.What's worse, I then spent so much time catching up on news, I almost missed the party!

社交媒体脱瘾
主持人
布伦顿高中为给购置新的体育设备筹款，举办了一项名为“社交媒体脱瘾”的活动。今天是活动的最后一天。脱瘾活动初期，我们成功说服100多名学生连续七天不得使用任何形式的社交媒体。这就意味着他们在这段时间内不能给朋友发短信，不能上传照片，不能发博客，与社交媒体相关的任何形式的活动都不行。脱离社交媒体的每一天，他们都能收到来自家人和朋友的奖励金。对此，他们很兴奋，也很紧张。但他们真的能做到吗？
如今，脱瘾活动已结束，他们纷纷开启电子设备，重返网络。相信你和我一样，迫切想知道多少人有足够的动力坚持了整整七天！而他们，又从此次经历中学到了什么？
安娜17岁
我坚持了两天。社交媒体脱瘾比我预期的更加难以忍受。没了社交媒体，就像缺少一只胳膊一般。让我饿两天可能还更轻松些！但一番反思后，我也意识到平日花在看手机上的时间太多了。现在，我正试图减少上网时间，把更多精力用于重拾自己的爱好。
德文16岁
我坚持了四天。周一，我和同学讨论了周末各自的活动——我并不知道他都做了些什么，这感觉太奇怪了。因为平时我们都会上传照片，更新各自的动态。参与这次脱瘾活动，意味着我们不得不互相交流并向对方解释自己的所做所想。这也让我意识到已经遗忘了的真正沟通的重要性。
辛迪18岁
我坚持了整整一周！最初，我真的感觉自己错过了无数消息。但我忍住没给朋友发消息，而是直接去了她家。没有手机的我们，好好地聊了两个多小时，没有被其他人的消息干扰，这感觉真棒！接下来我决定每天去见一位不同的朋友。到第五天时我在想，当我不再忙于查看手机关注他人生活的时候，我真的错过了很多吗？
乔治16岁
我也坚持了整整七天！说实话，我觉得社交媒体脱瘾没那么难，但为了让自己不要半途而废，我还是把手机上交给爸爸了。哥哥觉得我应该充分规划好没有手机的日子，因此他带我去了我们当地的体育中心。每天一小时的运动让人筋疲力尽，想早点上床休息。脱瘾活动让我更健康了！
马克斯17岁
我都不好意思说自己第一天就打了退堂鼓。脱瘾活动开始的当晚有个聚会，但如果不靠社交媒体的话，我怎么也想不起地点在哪儿！最后我还是打开手机查看了一下，结果没忍住，偷看了一眼我的社交媒体账户。更糟的是，我花了大把时间刷新动态，差点错过了本该要去的聚会！
主持人
此次脱瘾活动总共为学校筹集了1，632.82英镑，用于购置新的体育设备！每位参与者都做得很棒！看了论坛上的各个帖子，这次活动对人们的影响似乎远远不止活动筹集到的钱。脱瘾活动还让我们意识到自己对社交媒体的依赖程度，从而帮助我们摆脱它的束缚，更好地互相沟通。
