阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
Weekends are normally a time for shopping and last Saturday was no exception. My son Henry and I were shopping in a neighborhood market. Henry was busy weighing each new bag of vegetables I selected. I gave him a bag of potatoes and he walked over to the scale and waited in line. Suddenly, a man rushed over from behind, and stepped before him, hitting him out of the way. Henry looked shocked and scared. Seeing this I left my shopping cart and walked over to Henry, saying loudly, “Are you OK, honey I saw what that man did to you. That was very, very wrong.”
When the man finished weighing his bag, his sudden turning around made all his onions fall to the ground. The three of us stood there, frozen for a moment. And then I bent down on my hands and knees and started collecting onions. After I handed the onions to the man, he accepted them and put them into his bag. After Henry and I picked up all the onions, the man walked away without saying anything. We didn't discuss the event until we got back in the car.
On the way back home, Henry said through tears, “Mommy, I've a frustrating day. That man cut right in front of me. And we had to help him pick up his onions! Why did we do that That didn't make any sense！”
I took a deep breath and said, “Henry, that man seemed to have a very bad mood today. We should forgive him. I was also angry with the man for treating you rudely. I really wanted to kick him. But doing that doesn't make any sense. If we hadn't helped him, we might have felt good for a moment, but then I bet we would have felt really sorry for a long time. You and I have a lot of love to share. Maybe that man doesn't have much. People who behave badly still need love.”
A cheerful smile appeared on Henry's face. It was a smile of promise kept. It was the best smile I had ever seen. It was a good moment. It may have been my best mommy moment ever.

If Confucius (孔子) were alive today and could celebrate his September 28 birthday with a big cake, there would be a lot of candles. He'd need a fan or a strong wind to help him put them out.
While many people in China remember Confucius on his special day, few people in the United States will give him a passing thought. It's nothing personal. Most Americans don't even remember the birthdays of their own national heroes.
But that doesn't mean that Americans don't care about Confucius. In many ways he has become a bridge that foreigners must cross if they want to reach a deeper understanding of China.
In the past two decades, the Chinese studies programs have gained huge popularity in Western universities. More recently, the Chinese government has set up Confucius Institutes in more than 80 countries. These schools teach both Chinese language and culture. The main courses of Chinese culture usually include Chinese art, history and philosophy (哲学). Some social scientists suggest that Westerners should take advantage of the ancient Chinese wisdom to make up the drawbacks of Western philosophy. Students in the United States, at the same time, are racing to learn Chinese. So they will be ready for life in a world where China is an equal power with the United States. Businessmen who hope to make money in China are reading books about Confucius to understand their Chinese customers.
So the old thinker's ideas are still alive and well.
Today China attracts the West more than ever, and it will need more to introduce Confucius and Chinese culture to the West.
As for the old thinker, he will not be forgotten by people in the West, even if his birthday is.
4．The opening paragraph is mainly intended to ________.
A．attract the readers' interest in the subject
B．provide some key facts about Confucius
C．show great respect for the ancient thinker
D．prove the popularity of modern birthday celebrations
5．We can learn from Paragraph 4 that American students ________.
A．take an active part in Chinese competitions

C．fight for a chance to learn Chinese
D．have a great passion in studying Chinese

Magazines have been around for many years. The actual history of magazines can date back to the newspaper industry. The newspaper industry wanted to do more indepth articles and articles that needed much more research. From time to time, the larger newspapers included weekly insert sections (插入版块) that were smaller. These inserts would include longer stories, indepth interviews, and of course, photographs. It was in these inserts that the first magazines were born.
Of course, this was an idea that soon took off. The readers loved having these small inserts which were convenient for them to take and read when they were free. As time went by, people became more interested in the world around them. Magazines began to realize that they would benefit (受益) from being specialized. For example, as voting numbers grew in the United States, magazines that were only about election news and politics began to come out. Nowadays, magazines can be found on many different topics. Schools put out magazines for various reasons, so do companies and businesses. The industry has completely grown and succeeded.
The other side of the magazine industry is known as gossip magazines. These are magazines that focus on the people that are well known. These magazines sometimes contain correct information about their private lives, and sometimes contain information that doesn't come from facts.
All in all, magazines work together to fill an important position. Unlike non fiction books that can take months to be put out into the market, and unlike newspapers that need to be put out each day, magazines are put out each week, every two weeks, each month, or in longer periods. This means that they can still put out news that is fresh, but that their reporters can take the time that they need to provide their readers with well written stories.
12．We can learn from Paragraph 1 that the magazine ________.
A．was difficult for the reporters to research
B．started from the inserts of some newspapers
C．experienced the same history as the newspaper
D．developed as fast as the newspaper in the past
13．Why did specialized magazines about political news appear in the United States
A．To educate the public.
B．To introduce great leaders.
C．To draw readers' attention.
D．To get support from famous leaders.
14．Gossip magazines are the ones that ________.
A．include nothing but untrue information
B．are mainly about important election news
C．make more people become famous quickly
D．mainly introduce famous people's private lives
15．Compared with newspapers, magazines ________.
A．focus more on politics
B．have many more readers
C．provide readers with better written stories
D．take a shorter time to be put out into the market

Reasons to exercise regularly
You've been told a hundred times that exercise is good for your health.__16__ Here are four benefits that you can get from just a little daily exercise.
__17__ Do you feel a bit more clear after good daily exercise Not only is your brain getting more energy and oxygen, but many studies have shown that exercise can help you remember and learn things better. Of course, an intense exercise right before a big exam could leave you more tired than smart — but the two are still undoubtedly linked.
You will become more confident.__18__ Through exercising, you will feel more accomplished and social (if you work out at a gym). Even if you don't see immediate results in your body, the effort will make you feel better — and a bit of confidence can go a long way.
You will live longer. It's no secret that healthy living will keep you alive longer. One study found that exercise improves life expectancy as much as quitting smoking. __19__ And just a bit of regular exercise can slow the process for a while.
You will sleep better. If you ever have trouble falling asleep at night, it is a good way to solve this problem with regular exercise. The National Sleep Foundation says that regular exercise can help you sleep better.__20__ If you exercise too closely to bedtime, it can actually have the opposite effect! Luckily, you can choose other good ways to fill up that pre?bed relaxation time.
A．You will be happier.
B．You will improve your memory.
C．It is really true that sitting all day is killing you.
D．Both of these are important parts of losing weight.
E．It's true, and it's good for a lot more than just losing weight or building muscle.
F．Obviously, exercise can improve your appearance which can improve confidence.
G．The best time to exercise is in the morning or in the afternoon, rather than before bed.

Unlike non fiction books that can take months to be put out into the market, and unlike newspapers that need to be put out each day, magazines are put out each week, every two weeks, each month, or in longer periods. This means that they can still put out news that is fresh, but that their reporters can take the time that they need to provide their readers with well written stories.
12．We can learn from Paragraph 1 that the magazine ________.
A．was difficult for the reporters to research
B．started from the inserts of some newspapers
C．experienced the same history as the newspaper
D．developed as fast as the newspaper in the past
解析：选B 细节理解题。根据第一段最后三句可知，一些大型的报纸特设了插入版块，而最初的杂志就是由此演变而来的。
13．Why did specialized magazines about political news appear in the United States
A．To educate the public.
B．To introduce great leaders.
C．To draw readers' attention.
D．To get support from famous leaders.
解析：选C 推理判断题。根据第二段第四、五句可知，杂志(经营者)开始意识到专门化的内容更能够吸引读者购买杂志，进而从中受益(挣更多的钱)。所举的美国开始出现专门刊登政治新闻的杂志的例子正是为了证明这一点。
14．Gossip magazines are the ones that ________.
A．include nothing but untrue information
B．are mainly about important election news
C．make more people become famous quickly
D．mainly introduce famous people's private lives
解析：选D 细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句可知，八卦杂志主要介绍一些名人的私生活。
15．Compared with newspapers, magazines ________.
A．focus more on politics
B．have many more readers
C．provide readers with better written stories
D．take a shorter time to be put out into the market
解析：选C 细节理解题。根据文章最后两句可知，与报纸相比，杂志的记者在报道新闻时会用更多的时间保证新闻内容更充实。

Reasons to exercise regularly
You've been told a hundred times that exercise is good for your health.__16__ Here are four benefits that you can get from just a little daily exercise.
__17__ Do you feel a bit more clear after good daily exercise Not only is your brain getting more energy and oxygen, but many studies have shown that exercise can help you remember and learn things better. Of course, an intense exercise right before a big exam could leave you more tired than smart — but the two are still undoubtedly linked.
You will become more confident.__18__ Through exercising, you will feel more accomplished and social (if you work out at a gym). Even if you don't see immediate results in your body, the effort will make you feel better — and a bit of confidence can go a long way.
You will live longer. It's no secret that healthy living will keep you alive longer. One study found that exercise improves life expectancy as much as quitting smoking. __19__ And just a bit of regular exercise can slow the process for a while.
You will sleep better. If you ever have trouble falling asleep at night, it is a good way to solve this problem with regular exercise. The National Sleep Foundation says that regular exercise can help you sleep better.__20__ If you exercise too closely to bedtime, it can actually have the opposite effect! Luckily, you can choose other good ways to fill up that pre?bed relaxation time.
A．You will be happier.
B．You will improve your memory.
C．It is really true that sitting all day is killing you.
D．Both of these are important parts of losing weight.
E．It's true, and it's good for a lot more than just losing weight or building muscle.
F．Obviously, exercise can improve your appearance which can improve confidence.
G．The best time to exercise is in the morning or in the afternoon, rather than before bed.
16．解析：选E 考查上下文理解。根据前文可知锻炼的重要性经常被提及。所以这里应该接着锻炼的重要性来讲。“It's true, and it's good for a lot more than just losing weight or building muscle.”这是对的，而且它不仅仅对减肥和增肌有用。故选E。
17．解析：选B 考查上下文理解。根据下文的“but many studies have shown that exercise can help you remember and learn things better”但是许多研究表明锻炼会帮助你记忆和学习一些事情。所以这里应该填入和提高记忆力有关的选项。因此选B。
18．解析：选F 考查上下文理解。根据空前的“You will become more confident”与选项中的“confidence”对应。故选F。
19．解析：选C 考查上下文理解。根据前文的“One study found that exercise improves life expectancy as much as quitting smoking”可知这一段说的是锻炼与寿命的关系。所以这里应该填入和寿命有关的选项。“It is really true that sitting all day is killing you.”静坐一整天正在缓慢地杀死你。故选C。
20．解析：选G 考查上下文理解。根据下文的“If you exercise too closely to bedtime, it can actually have the opposite effect！”如果锻炼的时间接近睡前，锻炼很可能会有相反的结果。所以这里说的是锻炼的时间的问题。故选G。
