In the town of Lampang in northern Thailand, there is an unusual group of musicians. They play many different kinds of music--from traditional Thai songs to music by Beethoven. Both children and adults love this group. What makes them so popular Is it their music Their looks Yes, it’s both of these things, but it’s also something else: they’re elephants.
These musical elephants are from the Thai Elephant Conservation Center (TECC) in Lampang. The TECC protects elephants. It teaches people to understand and care for these huge, but gentle, animals. And, like many zoos around the world. the TECC encourages elephants to paint.
Richard Lair works with the TECC. He knew that elephants hear better than they see. So he had an idea: if elephants are intelligent and they have good hearing, maybe they can play music. To test his idea, Lair and a friend started the Thai Elephant Orchestra (管弦乐队). During a performance, the elephants play a variety of instruments (乐器), including the drums and the xylophone (木琴). The animals also use their voices and trunks (象鼻) to make sounds.
But can elephants really make music properly Yes, says Lair. They’re very creative. Humans may encourage the animals to play instruments, but the elephants make their own songs; they don’t just copy their trainers or other people. There are now CDs of the group’s music, which make money for the TECC. And the music these artists create is pretty amazing.

Last weekend I made a journey from New York to London, with my daughter to see my mother. To my relief, the travel was far easier than I expected: the airports were empty, the plane was half-full and the airline staff kindly provided food and wine, which I drank greedily with a straw while wearing the required face mask. What I did not expect was to be hit with a culture shock on arrival in London.
In New York, face masks are now an inseparable part of life. Street signs declare “OUTSIDE WITH NO MASK FORGET ABOUT IT!” Buildings carry more polite notices warning that anyone without a mask is banned. And even without them, almost everyone I see on the streets in my corner of Manhattan has their face covered. Strangers sometimes shout angrily at people who do not.
Indeed, there is such a strong sense of social pressure that in recent months I have worn a mask even when cycling alone, along Manhattan’s East river. And my daughter has taken to shopping online for “fashion masks”.
But not so in London. A new report issued by the Royal Society and the British Academy shows that, at the end of April, just 25 percent of Brits wore face masks in public places compared with 66 percent of Americans. We saw this for ourselves: in London, we appeared to be almost the only people wearing masks on the streets or in shops; even on public transport some seem to reject them.
Simon Roberts explains powerfully in a timely new book the Power of not Thinking. Habits matter deeply, but we rarely notice them — unless we travel. After a few days in London, I have started to “forget” my mask when I go outside. When I return to New York, I will have to relearn my habits all over again.
28. What does the underlined phrase “culture shock” in Paragraph 1 probably refer to
A. The loss of culture. B. Confusion and unfamiliarity.
C. The face mask. D. A huge welcome.
29. Which word best describes New Yorkers’ attitude towards mask wearing
A. Serious. B. Disapproving.
C. Annoyed. D. Ambitious
30. In terms of mask wearing, which is the difference between Londoners and New Yorkers
A. Londoners think mask wearing is only necessary on public transport.
B. None of the Londoners likes the idea of mask wearing.
C. New Yorkers should wear masks even if alone.
D. New Yorkers would react strongly to people without masks.
31. Why does the author mention the book the Power of not Thinking
A. To stress the importance of realizing one’s habits with environmental changes.
B. To help people understand that each country has its own unique culture.
C. To encourage people to travel and explore the world.
D. To explain why there’s a culture shock.
【答案】28. B 29. A 30. D 31. A
【解析】

【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段In New York, face masks are now an inseparable（不可分割）part of life. Buildings carry more polite notices warning that anyone without a mask is banned. And even without them, almost everyone I see on the streets in my corner of Manhattan has their face covered. Strangers sometimes shout angrily at people who do not.（在纽约，口罩现在几乎是生活必不可少的用具。建筑物里会张贴更多的礼貌性的提醒警告标志，禁止任何人不佩戴口罩。即便没有这些标识，我在曼哈顿大街上遇到的每个人几乎都会佩戴口罩。路人有时甚至会大声呵斥那些不佩戴口罩的人）可知，纽约人对佩戴口罩的态度是认真，严肃的。故选A项。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“ In New York, Strangers sometimes shout angrily at people who do not.（路人有时甚至会大声呵斥那些不佩戴口罩的人）”和第四段“in London, we appeared to be almost the only people wearing masks on the streets or in shops;（在伦敦，我们似乎是大街上或商店里唯一佩戴口罩的人）”可知，在纽约，对待不戴口罩的人，反应很强烈的。故选D。
【31题详解】
目的意图题。根据最后一段“Habits matter deeply, but we rarely notice them — unless we travel. After a few days in London, I have started to “forget” my mask when I go outside. When I return to New York, I will have to relearn my habits all over again.（习惯对我们有根深蒂固的影响，但是我们很少注意它，除非我们远游他地。在伦敦逗留几天之后，我已经开始忘记外出时佩戴口罩。当我重新回到纽约时，我得重新学习之前的习惯）”可知，最后一段作者提到《the Power of not Thinking》这本书，是为了强调随环境变化而认识到个人习惯的重要性。故选A。

Chinese students always complain that they’re under great pressure and don’t get enough sleep. But they may be surprised to learn that they’re much luckier than their peers (同龄人) in South Korea and Japan, according to a recently published report, conducted by Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences on the physical and mental health of senior high school students in the three Asian countries.
According to the study among nearly 6,000 high school students in the three countries, Chinese students are the tallest but poorest in physical fitness. Chinese students are on average 168.17cm, compared with 167.61cm for South Korean students and 164.70cm for Japanese students. Chinese students asked for sick leave more than students in other countries. About 72 percent of Korean students never asked for sick and injury leave during high school, compared to 53 percent for Japanese students and 45 percent for Chinese students. Moreover, Chinese students drink alcohol and smoke earlier than Korean and Japanese students. Around 70 percent of Chinese students have drunk alcohol, compared to 50 percent for Korean and Japanese students.
According to the survey, Japanese and South Korean students suffer more pressure than their Chinese peers. Statistics show 16 percent of students in China said they experienced mental pressure often over the past year, while the numbers in Japan and South Korea were 33 percent and 47 percent respectively. Their worries come from “study”, “future after graduation”, “friendships” and “relationship with their parents”. To go with stress, 57.9 percent of Korean students sleep the least, less than six hours a day, compared with 46.6 percent of Japanese students and 30 percent of Chinese students.
More Chinese students were satisfied with their physical appearance, double that of students in the survey from Japan and South Korea. The report said that over half of students in South Korea had tried to lose weight in the past year, while in China the figure was only 22 percent. In measures of self-worth, such as “I think I am valuable” and “I think I am successful”, “I can complete many things”, “I won’t give up to failure,” Chinese students showed greater self-confidence than students in Japan and South Korea.
32. What’s the main idea of the second paragraph
A. Chinese students ask for sick leave most often.
B. Chinese students drink most alcohol and smoke earliest.
C. Japanese students ask for least sick leave.
D. Chinese teenagers are tallest, but most unhealthy.
33. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.
A. Chinese students are confident in themselves and luckier
B. Chinese students are luckiest, yet most unsuccessful
C. Japanese students are most stressed
D. South Korean students sleep the least
34. What does the underlined word “that” refer to
A. the height B. the number C. the weight D. the appearance
35. The worries that causes students to be stressed come from the following factors EXCEPT ________.
A. study and career B. friendships
C physical appearance D. family relationship
【答案】32. D 33. A 34. B 35. C
【解析】

【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“But they may be surprised to learn that they’re much luckier than their peers (同龄人) in South Korea and Japan”（但他们可能会惊讶地发现，自己要比韩国和日本的同龄人幸运得多）和最后一段“Chinese students showed greater self-confidence than students in Japan and South Korea.”（中国学生比日本和韩国学生更自信。）可知，中国学生更自信，也更幸运，故选A。
【34题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第四段中“More Chinese students were satisfied with their physical appearance, double that of students in the survey from Japan and South Korea.”（更多的中国学生对自己的外表感到满意）可知，此处承接上文，说的是这个人数是接受调查的日本和韩国学生的两倍。划线词that应该指的是学生的数量，故选B。
【35题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“More Chinese students were satisfied with their physical appearance”（更多的中国学生对自己的外貌感到满意）可知，让中国学生焦虑的原因不包括外貌，因为他们对外貌很满意，故选C。

62. that 63. themselves
64. with 65. to build
66. well 67. dangerous
68. Unluckily
69. were hurt
70. but
【解析】
【分析】文章分别对DIY介绍、DIY在英国流行的原因、DIY困难甚至危险的原因进行了分析，进而对DIY提出了合理的建议。
【61题详解】
spend some time (in) doing sth
【62题详解】
If there is anything ___2___ needs repairing or decorating around their homes, 先行词anything，定语从句中缺少主语，故填关系代词that。
【63题详解】
they will do the jobs ___3___(they). 由语境可知：他们将自己做这些工作。所以填they的反身代词themselves。
【64题详解】
They share DIY experience____4____their friends. 固定搭配：share sth with sb和某人分享某物。
【65题详解】
常用句型 ：find+it+adj+to do sth是简单句。其中 it 是形式宾语，真正的宾语是后面的动词不定式。故填写to build 。
【66题详解】
because they can’t understand the directions（说明书)____6____(good) .修饰谓语动词understand，用副词well。
【67题详解】
DIY can also be ____7____(danger).be动词后面用形容词，故填dangerous。

【70题详解】
DIY can bring us fun and help us save money, ___10___it is not always as easy as it is thought to be. 前句说 DIY能给我们带来乐趣和帮助我们省钱。后句所说它并不总是被认为的那么容易；明显是转折关系，故填but。

What is the difference between a good athlete and a great one
A sports psychologist suggests there are three things that all great athletes have on common. First, they were not afraid to compete other people. Second, great athletes are those which are positive about them and their abilities. Great athletes know that how to deal with stress. They are unable to cut out things in daily life that adds to their stress, such as unhealthy food or bad friendships. Finally, great athletes have the mental strength to focus on which is the most important.
Great athletes set a example to us not only in how to play sports well but also in how to live well.
【答案】1. in→on
2. were→are
3. compete后加with
4. which→who
5. them→themselves
6.去掉that
7. unable→able
8. adds→add
9. which→what
10. a→an
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇议论文。文章主要论述了作者心目中伟大运动员应该具有的品质。
【详解】1. 考查介词。句意：一位运动心理学家认为，所有伟大的运动员都有三个共同点。have...in common是固定短语，意为“有……共同之处”。故on改为in。
2.考查时态。句意：首先，他们都不惧与他人竞争。本文陈述客观事实，应用一般现在时，主语是they，be动词应用are。故were改为are。
3.考查介词。句意：首先，他们都不惧与他人竞争。compete为不及物动词，“与某人竞争”应为compete with sb.。故compete后加with。
4.考查定语从句。句意：其次，伟大的运动员是那些对自己和自己的能力保持积极态度的人。those后是修饰它的定语从句，先行词those指人，定语从句缺少主语，应用关系代词who。故which改为who。
5.考查代词。句意：其次，伟大的运动员是那些对自己和自己的能力保持积极态度的人。当主语和宾语所指相同时，宾语应用反身代词，此处指代“他们自己”应用themselves。故them改为themselves。
6.考查连词。句意：伟大的运动员知道如何处理压力。分析可知，此处用“how to deal with stress”作know的宾语，该句是简单句，不需要连词。故去掉that。
7.考查语境。句意：他们能够减少日常生活中增加压力的事情，如不健康的食物或糟糕的友谊。结合上下文语境可知，伟大的运动员应该能够做到减少日常生活中增加压力的事情，“能够做某事”为be able to do sth.。故unable改为able。
8.考查主谓一致。句意：他们能够减少日常生活中增加压力的事情，如不健康的食物或糟糕的友谊。add为定语从句的谓语动词，句子陈述客观事实用一般现在时，主语that指代上文的things，为复数意义，故谓语动词应用复数形式。故adds改为add。
9.考查宾语从句。句意：最后，伟大的运动员有精神力量专注于最重要的事情。介词on后是宾语从句，从句缺少主语，且指代事物，应用连接代词what。故which改为what。
10.考查冠词。句意：伟大的运动员不仅在如何做好运动方面为我们树立了榜样，而且在如何生活方面也为我们树立了榜样。example的发音为元音音素开头，应用an，set an example to sb.为固定短语，意为“为某人树立榜样”。故a改为an。

Four Free Mobile Apps to Help You Learn English Faster
Have you realized that you can put your smartphone to really good use for learning English Here are 4 free mobile apps that will help you do just that.
Hello English
It covers all the aspects of language learning, including vocabulary, translation, grammar, spellings, spoken and reading skills. It uses interactive games to teach different English lessons and offers new audiobooks, latest news, and books. However, you should already understand basic English structures and alphabets, for the app can't help you learn English from scratch (从零开始) .
Duolingo
If you want to learn English from scratch, then this is the app you are looking for. Duolingo uses interactive games to help you learn English. For beginners, the app focuses on helping you learn verbs, phrases and sentences.
Lingbe
If you are ready to practice your spoken skills in the real- world, you’ll need Lingbe. It's a community-based app where people help each other and share their native languages. It connects you with real people on call who are native English speakers.
Hello Talk
Hello Talk is similar to Lingbe as it connects you with native speakers to help improve your language skills. However, it adds a few extra functions that might interest you. You can view the information about users to find a match that interests you. Additionally, you can also send text and audio messages, and even do video calls with other people.
If you are a beginner, start from Duolingo and then use Hello English to take full command over the language. For fluent spoken English learners, you can try out Lingbe or Hello Talk.
21. What should you already understand to use Hello English
A. Good reading and writing skills. B. Basic listening and speaking tips.

In the town of Lampang in northern Thailand, there is an unusual group of musicians. They play many different kinds of music--from traditional Thai songs to music by Beethoven. Both children and adults love this group. What makes them so popular Is it their music Their looks Yes, it’s both of these things, but it’s also something else: they’re elephants.
These musical elephants are from the Thai Elephant Conservation Center (TECC) in Lampang. The TECC protects elephants. It teaches people to understand and care for these huge, but gentle, animals. And, like many zoos around the world. the TECC encourages elephants to paint.
Richard Lair works with the TECC. He knew that elephants hear better than they see. So he had an idea: if elephants are intelligent and they have good hearing, maybe they can play music. To test his idea, Lair and a friend started the Thai Elephant Orchestra (管弦乐队). During a performance, the elephants play a variety of instruments (乐器), including the drums and the xylophone (木琴). The animals also use their voices and trunks (象鼻) to make sounds.
But can elephants really make music properly Yes, says Lair. They’re very creative. Humans may encourage the animals to play instruments, but the elephants make their own songs; they don’t just copy their trainers or other people. There are now CDs of the group’s music, which make money for the TECC. And the music these artists create is pretty amazing.
24. What can be inferred (推断) from the passage the passage？
A. Richard Lair started the Thai Elephant Orchestra by himself.
B. The elephants in the TECC can only play traditional Thai songs.
C. The CDs of the Thai Elephant Orchestra are popular with people.
D. The elephants can only play drums and xylophone.
25. The writer wrote this passage to_______.
A. ask people to save the elephants
B. invite more people to join the TECC
C. introduce the elephants’ special talents to people
D. encourage TECC to improve efficiency
26 What is the passage mainly about
A. Musical Elephants B. An Introduction to the TECC
C. Richard Lair’s Achievements D. Musicians in Lampang
27. What is this text
A. A press report(新闻报道） B. An expository writing（说明文）
C. A story D. An advertisement（广告）

Last weekend I made a journey from New York to London, with my daughter to see my mother. To my relief, the travel was far easier than I expected: the airports were empty, the plane was half-full and the airline staff kindly provided food and wine, which I drank greedily with a straw while wearing the required face mask. What I did not expect was to be hit with a culture shock on arrival in London.
In New York, face masks are now an inseparable part of life. Street signs declare “OUTSIDE WITH NO MASK FORGET ABOUT IT!” Buildings carry more polite notices warning that anyone without a mask is banned. And even without them, almost everyone I see on the streets in my corner of Manhattan has their face covered. Strangers sometimes shout angrily at people who do not.
Indeed there is such a strong sense of social pressure that in recent months I have worn a mask even when cycling alone, along Manhattan’s East river. And my daughter has taken to shopping online for “fashion masks”.
But not so in London. A new report issued by the Royal Society and the British Academy shows that, at the end of April, just 25 percent of Brits wore face masks in public places compared with 66 percent of Americans. We saw this for ourselves: in London, we appeared to be almost the only people wearing masks on the streets or in shops; even on public transport some seem to reject them.
Simon Roberts explains powerfully in a timely new book the Power of not Thinking. Habits matter deeply, but we rarely notice them — unless we travel. After a few days in London, I have started to “forget” my mask when I go outside. When I return to New York, I will have to relearn my habits all over again.
28. What does the underlined phrase “culture shock” in Paragraph 1 probably refer to
A. The loss of culture. B. Confusion and unfamiliarity.
C. The face mask. D. A huge welcome.
29. Which word best describes New Yorkers’ attitude towards mask wearing
A. Serious. B. Disapproving.
C. Annoyed. D. Ambitious
30. In terms of mask wearing, which is the difference between Londoners and New Yorkers
A. Londoners think mask wearing is only necessary on public transport.
B. None of the Londoners likes the idea of mask wearing.
C. New Yorkers should wear masks even if alone.
D. New Yorkers would react strongly to people without masks.
31. Why does the author mention the book the Power of not Thinking
A. To stress the importance of realizing one’s habits with environmental changes.
B. To help people understand that each country has its own unique culture.
C. To encourage people to travel and explore the world.
D. To explain why there’s a culture shock.

Chinese students always complain that they’re under great pressure and don’t get enough sleep. But they may be surprised to learn that they’re much luckier than their peers (同龄人) in South Korea and Japan, according to a recently published report, conducted by Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences on the physical and mental health of senior high school students in the three Asian countries.
According to the study among nearly 6,000 high school students in the three countries, Chinese students are the tallest but poorest in physical fitness. Chinese students are on average 168.17cm, compared with 167.61cm for South Korean students and 164.70cm for Japanese students. Chinese students asked for sick leave more than students in other countries. About 72 percent of Korean students never asked for sick and injury leave during high school, compared to 53 percent for Japanese students and 45 percent for Chinese students. Moreover, Chinese students drink alcohol and smoke earlier than Korean and Japanese students. Around 70 percent of Chinese students have drunk alcohol, compared to 50 percent for Korean and Japanese students.
According to the survey, Japanese and South Korean students suffer more pressure than their Chinese peers. Statistics show 16 percent of students in China said they experienced mental pressure often over the past year, while the numbers in Japan and South Korea were 33 percent and 47 percent respectively. Their worries come from “study”, “future after graduation”, “friendships” and “relationship with their parents”. To go with stress, 57.9 percent of Korean students sleep the least, less than six hours a day, compared with 46.6 percent of Japanese students and 30 percent of Chinese students.
More Chinese students were satisfied with their physical appearance, double that of students in the survey from Japan and South Korea. The report said that over half of students in South Korea had tried to lose weight in the past year, while in China the figure was only 22 percent. In measures of self-worth, such as “I think I am valuable” and “I think I am successful”, “I can complete many things”, “I won’t give up to failure,” Chinese students showed greater self-confidence than students in Japan and South Korea.
32. What’s the main idea of the second paragraph
A. Chinese students ask for sick leave most often.
B. Chinese students drink most alcohol and smoke earliest.
C. Japanese students ask for least sick leave.
D. Chinese teenagers are tallest, but most unhealthy.
33. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.
A. Chinese students are confident in themselves and luckier
B. Chinese students are luckiest, yet most unsuccessful
C. Japanese students are most stressed
D. South Korean students sleep the least
34. What does the underlined word “that” refer to
A. the height B. the number C. the weight D. the appearance
35. The worries that causes students to be stressed come from the following factors EXCEPT ________.
A. study and career B. friendships
C. physical appearance D. family relationship
