In spring, chickens start laying again, bringing a welcome source of protein(蛋白质) at winter's end. So it's no surprising that cultures around the world celebrate spring by honoring the egg.
Some traditions are simple, like the red eggs that get baked(烘) into Greek Easter bread. Others make the egg a fancy work of art, like the heavily jewel-covered "eggs" that were favored by the Russians starting in the 19th century.
One ancient form of egg art comes to us from Ukraine. For centuries, Ukrainians have been drawing complicated(复杂的) patterns on eggs. Modern artists have followed this tradition to create eggs that reflect(反映) the anxieties of our age: Life is precious, and delicate(脆弱的). Eggs are, too.
"There's something about their delicate nature that appeals(吸引) to me," says The New Yorker cartoonist Roz Chast. Several years ago, she became interested in eggs and learned the traditional Ukrainian technique to draw her very modem characters. "I've broken eggs at every stage of the process—from the very beginning to the very, very end."
But there's appeal in that delicateness. "There's part of this sickening horror of knowing you're walking on the edge with this, that I kind of like, knowing that it could all fall apart at any second." Chast's designs, such as a worried man alone in a tiny rowboat, reflect that delicateness.
Traditional Ukrainian decorated eggs also reflect those fears. Such patterns were believed to offer protection against evil(邪恶).
"There's an ancient legend(传说) that as long as these eggs are made, evil will not control the world," says Joan Brander, a Canadian egg-painter who has been painting eggs for over 60 years, having learned the art from her Ukrainian relatives.
The tradition, dating back to 300 B.C., later became part of the Christian church. The old symbols(象征), however, still exist. A decorated egg with a bird on it, given to a young married couple, is a wish for children. A decorated egg thrown into the field would be a wish for a good harvest.
1.People in many cultures prize the egg because _____.
A.it can bring wealth and honor to them B.it can easily be made into a work of art
C.it is a welcome sign of the coming of spring D.it is their major source of protein in winter
2.What do we learn about the decorated "eggs" in Russia
A.They are cherished by the rich. B.They are heavily painted in red.
C.They are shaped like jewel cases. D.They are favored as a form of art.
3.Why have modern artists continued the egg art tradition
A.Eggs reflect the anxieties of people today. B.Eggs provide a unique surface to paint on.
C.Eggs have an oval shape appealing to artists. D.Eggs serve as an enduring symbol of new life.
4.Why does Chast enjoy the process of decorating eggs
A.Because she always gets great pleasure from designing something new.
B.Because she never knows if the egg will break before the design is completed.
C.Because she is never sure what the final design will look like until the end.
D.Because she can add multiple details to the design to communicate her idea.
C
What we know of prenatal development makes all this attempt made by a mother to mold the character of her unborn child by studying poetry, art, or mathematics during pregnancy seem totally impossible. How could such extremely complex influences pass from the mother to the child There is no connection between their nervous systems. Even the blood vessels of mother and child do not join directly. An emotional shock to the mother will affect her child, because it changes the activity of her glands and so the chemistry of her blood. Any chemical change in the mother's blood will affect the child for better or worse. But we can not see how a liking for mathematics or poetic genius can be dissolved in blood and produce a similar liking or genius in the child.
In our discussion of instincts we saw that there was reason to believe that whatever we inherit must be of some very simple sort rather than any complicated or very definite kind of behaviour. It is certain that no one inherits a knowledge of mathematics. It may be, however, that children inherit more or less of a rather general ability that we may call intelligence. If very intelligent children become deeply interested in mathematics, they will probably make a success of that study.
As for musical ability, it may be that what is inherited is an especially, sensitive ear, a peculiar structure of the hands or the vocal organs' connections between nerves and muscles that make it comparatively easy to learn the movements a musician must execute, and particularly vigorous emotions. If these factors are all organized around music, the child may become a musician. The same factors, in other circumstance might be organized about some other centre of interest. The rich emotional equipment might find expression in poetry. The capable fingers might develop skill in surgery. It is not the knowledge of music that is inherited, then nor even the love of it, but a certain bodily structure that makes it comparatively easy to acquire musical knowledge and skill. Whether that ability shall be directed towards music or some other undertaking may be decided entirely by forces in the environment in which a child grows up.
1. Which of the following statements is NOT true
A. Some mothers try to influence their unborn children by studying art and other subjects during their pregnancy.
B. It is utterly impossible for us to learn anything about prenatal development.
C. The blood vessels of mother and child do not join directly.
D. There is no connection between mother's nervous system and her unborn child's.
2. A mother will affect her unborn baby on the condition that _____.
A. she is emotionally shocked
B. she has a good knowledge of inheritance
C. she takes part in all kinds of activities
D. she sticks to studying
3. According to the passage, a child may inherit ______.
A. everything from his/her mother
B. a knowledge of mathematics
C. a rather general ability that we call intelligence
D. his/her mother's musical ability
4. If a child inherits something from his mother, such as an especially sensitive ear, a peculiar
structure of the hands or of the vocal organs, he will _____.
A. surely become a musician no matter whether he likes music or not
B. mostly become a poet if he likes music and choose it as his major
C. possibly become a music teacher who works in a university
D. become a musician on the condition that all these factors are organized around music
D
Young American adults own smartphones at a higher rate than any other age group.
Researchers from Duke University wanted to see if using the smartphone with a low-cost weight-loss app might help young adults in the US who are overweight. If you're rooting for smartphones to solve all our health problems, you're not going to like what the researchers found. The smartphone app doesn't help young adults lose any weight.
The study looked at 365 young adults aged 18 to 35. A third of the young adults used an Android app created for the study, which not only tracked their calories, weight and exercise but also offered interactive features like goal setting, games and social support. Another third of the young adults received six weekly-personal coaching courses, followed by monthly phone follow-ups. Plus, this personal coaching group was also encouraged to track their weight, calories and exercise by smartphones. The last third of young adults were put into a control group and given three necessities on healthy eating and exercise—nothing else.
Researchers tracked the young adults' progress after six months, one year and two years. The personal coaching group had lost more weight than the other two groups at the six-month mark, but that lead disappeared at the one- and two-year follow-ups. As for the group using the smartphone app, their average weight loss was never more than the other two groups. Lead author Dr. Laura Svetkey says that she and her colleagues were both surprised and disappointed at the results. "Given the power of cell phone apps and the popularity of these health and fitness apps, we thought this might be good to provide an effective solution at low cost," says Svetkey.
But Svetkey says it's difficult to get the same level of intensity(强度) in an app that you might get through personal coaching. Plus, she says, people tend to stop using weight-loss apps after a while.
There are good reasons to help young adults control their weight. Weight gain during the young adult years is associated with a variety of health problems later in life, including metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular disease.
Since I am a young American adult who uses a popular weight-loss app on my iPhone, I wonder if, there is any real harm in using one of these apps, even if they aren't proven effective in research studies. So I turn to Svetkey. She says, "These study results aren't the reason to give up hope about the potential for weight-loss apps, but instead are the reason to strengthen research efforts. More work is needed to understand how to use the technology and show its strengths in a way that will lead people to change their eating and exercise behaviors."
1.The underlined part "rooting for" in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to "___________".
A.disliking B.supporting C.quitting D.doubting
2.From the passage we know that in the study ____________.
A.the group using the smartphone app lost the most weight
B.the participants in the control group failed to lose weight
C.all participants surveyed gained weight two years later
D.the personal coaching group was more successful at the six-month mark
3.Which of the following does Laura Svetkey agree with
A.Weight-loss apps on smartphones are an effective solution to overweight people.
B.Compared with weight-loss apps, personal coaching is more effective.
C.Being overweight will cause people serious diseases.
D.People should have confidence in weight-loss apps all the time.
4.From the last paragraph, we can infer that ____________.
A.there is a long way to go to help people lose weight with technology
B.people should eat less and exercise more
C.people are advised to give up using weight-loss apps
D.the more advanced technology is, the more benefits people will get

③考查名词。句意:古埃及人认为日出是生命的开始,日落是生命的结束。根据空前冠词the和空后的定语of the sun可知,此处需要名词。the setting of the sun指"日落"。故填setting。
④考查时态和语态。句意:这就是他们的尸体被埋在尼罗河西岸的原因。根据上下文语境可知,此处应用过去时,又因their bodies 和动词bury之间为被动关系。故填were buried。
⑤考查固定句型。句意:很难想象大金字塔有多大。本句构成It is+形容词+不定式结构,其中It为形式主语,不定式作真正主语。故填It。
⑥考查定语从句。句意:它有超过230万块石头,大部分重达2.5吨。分析句子结构可知,主句中stones为先行词,指物,在其后的从句中作most of的宾语,用which。most of which在定语从句中作主语。故填which。
⑦考查并列连词。分析句子结构可知,此处用and连接数个谓语动词cut, moved和lifted,表顺承关系。故填and。
⑧考查介词。句意:几乎所有的石头都是从尼罗河东岸运来的,并且都是用船运过河的。come from...为固定搭配,意为"来自于……"。故填from。
⑨考查固定句型。句意:建造大金字塔花了10多万人二十年的时间。本句考查It takes/took (sb) some time to do sth意为"做某事花费(某人)一些时间",后跟不定式。故填to build。
⑩考查名词复数。句意:金字塔的每一侧面都有755英尺长。由于该名词由each of修饰,应用复数形式。故填sides。

Dear Mr Smith,
In your letter, you asked me about the Chinese Spring Festival. Now I'd like to tell you something about it.
The Chinese Spring Festival comes on the first day of the Chinese Lunar Year, which is usually in late January or February.
Before the Spring Festival, the Chinese people usually do some cleaning. On the eve of the Spring Festival, all the family members will get together and parents may give children lucky money in red packets. People usually go to visit their relatives and friends, which is a good way to express their best wishes for the new year.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

In spring, chickens start laying again, bringing a welcome source of protein(蛋白质) at winter's end. So it's no surprising that cultures around the world celebrate spring by honoring the egg.
Some traditions are simple, like the red eggs that get baked(烘) into Greek Easter bread. Others make the egg a fancy work of art, like the heavily jewel-covered "eggs" that were favored by the Russians starting in the 19th century.
One ancient form of egg art comes to us from Ukraine. For centuries, Ukrainians have been drawing complicated(复杂的) patterns on eggs. Modern artists have followed this tradition to create eggs that reflect(反映) the anxieties of our age: Life is precious, and delicate(脆弱的). Eggs are, too.
"There's something about their delicate nature that appeals(吸引) to me," says The New Yorker cartoonist Roz Chast. Several years ago, she became interested in eggs and learned the traditional Ukrainian technique to draw her very modem characters. "I've broken eggs at every stage of the process—from the very beginning to the very, very end."
But there's appeal in that delicateness. "There's part of this sickening horror of knowing you're walking on the edge with this, that I kind of like, knowing that it could all fall apart at any second." Chast's designs, such as a worried man alone in a tiny rowboat, reflect that delicateness.
Traditional Ukrainian decorated eggs also reflect those fears. Such patterns were believed to offer protection against evil(邪恶).
"There's an ancient legend(传说) that as long as these eggs are made, evil will not control the world," says Joan Brander, a Canadian egg-painter who has been painting eggs for over 60 years, having learned the art from her Ukrainian relatives.
The tradition, dating back to 300 B.C., later became part of the Christian church. The old symbols(象征), however, still exist. A decorated egg with a bird on it, given to a young married couple, is a wish for children. A decorated egg thrown into the field would be a wish for a good harvest.
1.People in many cultures prize the egg because _____.
A.it can bring wealth and honor to them B.it can easily be made into a work of art
C.it is a welcome sign of the coming of spring D.it is their major source of protein in winter
2.What do we learn about the decorated "eggs" in Russia
A.They are cherished by the rich. B.They are heavily painted in red.
C.They are shaped like jewel cases. D.They are favored as a form of art.
3.Why have modern artists continued the egg art tradition
A.Eggs reflect the anxieties of people today. B.Eggs provide a unique surface to paint on.
C.Eggs have an oval shape appealing to artists. D.Eggs serve as an enduring symbol of new life.
4.Why does Chast enjoy the process of decorating eggs
A.Because she always gets great pleasure from designing something new.
B.Because she never knows if the egg will break before the design is completed.
C.Because she is never sure what the final design will look like until the end.
D.Because she can add multiple details to the design to communicate her idea.
C
What we know of prenatal development makes all this attempt made by a mother to mold the character of her unborn child by studying poetry, art, or mathematics during pregnancy seem totally impossible. How could such extremely complex influences pass from the mother to the child There is no connection between their nervous systems. Even the blood vessels of mother and child do not join directly. An emotional shock to the mother will affect her child, because it changes the activity of her glands and so the chemistry of her blood. Any chemical change in the mother's blood will affect the child for better or worse. But we can not see how a liking for mathematics or poetic genius can be dissolved in blood and produce a similar liking or genius in the child.
In our discussion of instincts we saw that there was reason to believe that whatever we inherit must be of some very simple sort rather than any complicated or very definite kind of behaviour. It is certain that no one inherits a knowledge of mathematics. It may be, however, that children inherit more or less of a rather general ability that we may call intelligence. If very intelligent children become deeply interested in mathematics, they will probably make a success of that study.
As for musical ability, it may be that what is inherited is an especially, sensitive ear, a peculiar structure of the hands or the vocal organs' connections between nerves and muscles that make it comparatively easy to learn the movements a musician must execute, and particularly vigorous emotions. If these factors are all organized around music, the child may become a musician. The same factors, in other circumstance might be organized about some other centre of interest. The rich emotional equipment might find expression in poetry. The capable fingers might develop skill in surgery. It is not the knowledge of music that is inherited, then nor even the love of it, but a certain bodily structure that makes it comparatively easy to acquire musical knowledge and skill. Whether that ability shall be directed towards music or some other undertaking may be decided entirely by forces in the environment in which a child grows up.
1. Which of the following statements is NOT true
A. Some mothers try to influence their unborn children by studying art and other subjects during their pregnancy.
B. It is utterly impossible for us to learn anything about prenatal development.
C. The blood vessels of mother and child do not join directly.
D. There is no connection between mother's nervous system and her unborn child's.
2. A mother will affect her unborn baby on the condition that _____.
A. she is emotionally shocked
B. she has a good knowledge of inheritance
C. she takes part in all kinds of activities
D. she sticks to studying
3. According to the passage, a child may inherit ______.
A. everything from his/her mother
B. a knowledge of mathematics
C. a rather general ability that we call intelligence
D. his/her mother's musical ability
4. If a child inherits something from his mother, such as an especially sensitive ear, a peculiar
structure of the hands or of the vocal organs, he will _____.
A. surely become a musician no matter whether he likes music or not
B. mostly become a poet if he likes music and choose it as his major
C. possibly become a music teacher who works in a university
D. become a musician on the condition that all these factors are organized around music
D
Young American adults own smartphones at a higher rate than any other age group.
Researchers from Duke University wanted to see if using the smartphone with a low-cost weight-loss app might help young adults in the US who are overweight. If you're rooting for smartphones to solve all our health problems, you're not going to like what the researchers found. The smartphone app doesn't help young adults lose any weight.
The study looked at 365 young adults aged 18 to 35. A third of the young adults used an Android app created for the study, which not only tracked their calories, weight and exercise but also offered interactive features like goal setting, games and social support. Another third of the young adults received six weekly-personal coaching courses, followed by monthly phone follow-ups. Plus, this personal coaching group was also encouraged to track their weight, calories and exercise by smartphones. The last third of young adults were put into a control group and given three necessities on healthy eating and exercise—nothing else.
Researchers tracked the young adults' progress after six months, one year and two years. The personal coaching group had lost more weight than the other two groups at the six-month mark, but that lead disappeared at the one- and two-year follow-ups. As for the group using the smartphone app, their average weight loss was never more than the other two groups. Lead author Dr. Laura Svetkey says that she and her colleagues were both surprised and disappointed at the results. "Given the power of cell phone apps and the popularity of these health and fitness apps, we thought this might be good to provide an effective solution at low cost," says Svetkey.
But Svetkey says it's difficult to get the same level of intensity(强度) in an app that you might get through personal coaching. Plus, she says, people tend to stop using weight-loss apps after a while.
There are good reasons to help young adults control their weight. Weight gain during the young adult years is associated with a variety of health problems later in life, including metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular disease.
Since I am a young American adult who uses a popular weight-loss app on my iPhone, I wonder if, there is any real harm in using one of these apps, even if they aren't proven effective in research studies. So I turn to Svetkey. She says, "These study results aren't the reason to give up hope about the potential for weight-loss apps, but instead are the reason to strengthen research efforts. More work is needed to understand how to use the technology and show its strengths in a way that will lead people to change their eating and exercise behaviors."
1.The underlined part "rooting for" in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to "___________".
A.disliking B.supporting C.quitting D.doubting
2.From the passage we know that in the study ____________.
A.the group using the smartphone app lost the most weight
B.the participants in the control group failed to lose weight
C.all participants surveyed gained weight two years later
D.the personal coaching group was more successful at the six-month mark
3.Which of the following does Laura Svetkey agree with
A.Weight-loss apps on smartphones are an effective solution to overweight people.
B.Compared with weight-loss apps, personal coaching is more effective.
C.Being overweight will cause people serious diseases.
D.People should have confidence in weight-loss apps all the time.
4.From the last paragraph, we can infer that ____________.
A.there is a long way to go to help people lose weight with technology
B.people should eat less and exercise more
C.people are advised to give up using weight-loss apps
D.the more advanced technology is, the more benefits people will get

Mike's school was located a mile away from his home. Mike's birthday was coming in a week. He requested his father to buy him a bicycle so that he could go to school by bicycle. His father also promised to buy him a bicycle so that he needn't walk to school anymore. Mike felt so happy.
The birthday boy woke up happily with his parents wishing him with all smiles. He was glad and expected that his father would gift him a bicycle. His father gave him a nicely-wrapped gift. Mike opened it and saw a set of books. Although he was a little unhappy as he did not receive a bicycle, he thanked his father.

第二节
答案：called; Actually ; setting ; were buried; It; which; and ; from; to build; sides
解析：①考查非谓语动词。句意:大金字塔是大约5000年前为一个叫胡夫的国王建造的。分析句子结构可知,此处用非谓语形式作后置定语,因call与king之间为被动关系。故填called。
②考查副词。句意:事实上,所有沿着尼罗河的金字塔都在它的西岸。此处用副词作状语。故填Actually。
③考查名词。句意:古埃及人认为日出是生命的开始,日落是生命的结束。根据空前冠词the和空后的定语of the sun可知,此处需要名词。the setting of the sun指"日落"。故填setting。
④考查时态和语态。句意:这就是他们的尸体被埋在尼罗河西岸的原因。根据上下文语境可知,此处应用过去时,又因their bodies 和动词bury之间为被动关系。故填were buried。
⑤考查固定句型。句意:很难想象大金字塔有多大。本句构成It is+形容词+不定式结构,其中It为形式主语,不定式作真正主语。故填It。
⑥考查定语从句。句意:它有超过230万块石头,大部分重达2.5吨。分析句子结构可知,主句中stones为先行词,指物,在其后的从句中作most of的宾语,用which。most of which在定语从句中作主语。故填which。
⑦考查并列连词。分析句子结构可知,此处用and连接数个谓语动词cut, moved和lifted,表顺承关系。故填and。
⑧考查介词。句意:几乎所有的石头都是从尼罗河东岸运来的,并且都是用船运过河的。come from...为固定搭配,意为"来自于……"。故填from。
⑨考查固定句型。句意:建造大金字塔花了10多万人二十年的时间。本句考查It takes/took (sb) some time to do sth意为"做某事花费(某人)一些时间",后跟不定式。故填to build。
⑩考查名词复数。句意:金字塔的每一侧面都有755英尺长。由于该名词由each of修饰,应用复数形式。故填sides。

第一节
答案：
Dear Mr Smith,
In your letter, you asked me about the Chinese Spring Festival. Now I'd like to tell you something about it.
The Chinese Spring Festival comes on the first day of the Chinese Lunar Year, which is usually in late January or February.
Before the Spring Festival, the Chinese people usually do some cleaning. On the eve of the Spring Festival, all the family members will get together and parents may give children lucky money in red packets. People usually go to visit their relatives and friends, which is a good way to express their best wishes for the new year.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

答案：
Paragraph 1:
Sam was injured badly and there was no one nearby to help him except Mike. Mike helped him stand up, examined his body and picked up his bicycle. Sam's left leg and hands were severely injured. Mike asked Sam to sit in a corner and then he took the bicycle to get help. Ten minutes later, an ambulance came and took Sam to hospital. Mike rushed to Sam's home and told his parents about the accident.
Paragraph 2:
Sam and his parents thanked Mike for the timely help. Mike told Sam's parents that the bicycle was too small for Sam to ride and that was why he was injured. Sam and Mike became close friends soon. Mike visited Sam every day in hospital until he left hospital. Sam got a new bicycle and he came to know that Mike didn't have his own bicycle. He gave his old bicycle to Mike and with Mike's parents' permission, Mike accepted the gift from Sam.
