Ⅲ.阅读理解(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)
A
When 47-year-old volunteer Susan Boyle stepped onto the stage of Britain's Got Talent and announced she was unemployed, had never been married and “never been kissed, actually”， few in the audience would have wondered why. This Ms.Boyle, looking unfashionable, from a village in Scotland, shocked the three judges and the audience with the song I dreamed a dream from the musical Les Miserables on a show of Britain's Got Talent, one of the hottest reality shows in Britain.
She couldn't hide the awkwardness when walking to the center of the stage in a housedress，and everyone — including the judges — seemed laughing at her when she said she wanted to be as successful as Elaine Paige. As soon as she began singing, however, everyone in the auditorium fell silent, then rose within seconds to applaud her incredible voice as the celebrity judges sat open-mouthed, and remained standing to the end.
After her performance, one of the judges Piers Morgan said，“Without doubt that was the biggest surprise I've had in three years of this show. When you stood there everyone was laughing at you. No one is laughing now. That was amazing.”Actress Amanda Holden followed, “I'm so thrilled because I know that we everybody were against you.I honestly think that we were all being very cynical (愤世嫉俗的) and I think that's the biggest wake-up call ever.”
Susan obviously won over the hearts of millions around the world with sensation spreading across the Atlantic.Hollywood actors Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore — who between them have nearly 1.5 million followers — speak highly of her. Kutcher posted a link to the video clip (片段)．The Scottish talent made her live American debut via satellite connection on CBS's The Early Show, doing an interview and singing live from her room. And she already accepted an invitation from talk show hostess Oprah Winfrey.
Now Boyle has become one of the world's hottest celebrities. The video clip of her performance has been viewed more than 50 million times on Youtube, becoming a hit on the Internet.
36．We learn from the passage that Susan Boyle________.
A．rose from a low social class
B．had an unhappy marriage
C．lived with a dog alone on a farm
D．won the championship in the Britain's Got Talent show
37．At the beginning of the show, almost everybody________.
A．looked forward to her wonderful performance
B．was attracted by her beautiful dress
C．looked down upon her
D．placed great hope on her
38．We can infer that________contributed most to her global popularity.
A．the judges B．the Internet
C．the newspaper D．the advertisement
39．The 4th paragraph is intended to tell us________.
A．how Susan Boyle achieved her success
B．the comment made by American actor Ashton
Kutcher
C．Susan Boyle's influence in the USA
D．Oprah Winfrey's invitation to Susan Boyle
B
The class of eighth grade at a Los Angeles middle school tap their rulers and nod their heads to the rhythm of the rap video shown on a screen. Their algebra teacher, LaMar Queen, uses rhyme to help them memorize seemingly difficult items to improve their grades.
Queen, 26, is now known at Los Angeles Academy Middle School as the rap teacher, but his fame has spread beyond the 2,200-student school in this neighborhood. He's won a national award and shown teachers and parents how to use rap to teach children.“Math is a bad word for many students, but if we put it in a form that kids enjoy, they'll learn，”Queen said.“Rap is what the kids respond to.They don't have a problem memorizing the songs at all.”
Queen's math rap came about by chance. Two months after starting at LA Academy, he was frustrated when kids said his class was boring. They thought that he looked like the singer Kanye West, so they challenged him to rap.
Queen has been rapping since the seventh grade. With his students' challenge on his mind, he pushed aside work on his lesson plans and wrote a rap song Slope Intercept.
Word of his rapping soon reached the school's main office. Principal Maria Borges went to look into it, and came out smiling.“It interests the kids，”she said.“Kids seem to know all the rap songs, and it's helpful for them to remember math rules.”“Some kids who aren't even in Mr.Queen's class go around singing his songs，”said Kejon Closure, 13, who went from a C-average to an A.
In the raps, Queen defines a math concept and works through sample problems step by step. He keeps a relaxed manner when singing with his students. Queen also tries to inspire them. His lyrics tell students“to get As on your papers”， and“to be respectful and listen to your parents”. Sometimes the students appear in the videos as a reward for good grades and behavior.
40．According to the passage, LaMar Queen has been________ since he began to teach students at Los Angeles Academy.
A．a popular teacher B．a music teacher
C．a mathematics teacher D．a famous singer
41．LaMar Queen has won a national award because________.
A．he is good at composing rap songs
B．his new musical production was shown on TV
C．he created a unique teaching method in math
D．he gave students a lot of confidence
42．This passage may be taken from China Daily in the column of________.
A．society B．education
C．entertainment D．biography
C
Originally，IQ or Intelligence Quotient，was used to detect children of lower intelligence in order to place them in special education programmes.The first IQ tests were designed to compare a child's intelligence to what his or her intelligence “should be”．If the child was significantly “smarter” than a “normal” child of his or her age，the child was given a higher score，and if the child scored lower than expected for a child of his or her age，the child was given a lower IQ score.
Today IQ test is used not primarily for children，but for adults.We attempt to write tests that will determine an adult's true mental potential，unbiased by culture，and compare scores to the scores of other adults who have taken the same test.
In recent years，a number of theorists have argued that standard intelligence tests measure only a portion of intelligence.Other scholars believe that such tests accurately measure intelligence and that the lack of
agreement on a definition of intelligence does not invalidate (使无效) its measurement.In their view，intelligence is much like before scientific concepts that are exactly measured well before scientists understand what the measurement actually means.
43．Who were the first IQ tests designed for?
A．The rich. B．The children.
C．The poor. D．The adults.
44．If a child's score of IQ was higher than a normal level，he or she would be regarded as a ________person.
A．smarter B．naughty
C．stupid D．funny
45．From the passage we know that ________.
A．the childrens' IQs are measured in order to tell the differences of character
B．adults' IQs are measured earlier than the children for the first time
C．adults' IQs are measured for their jobs after they are out of work
D．many theorists don't agree with others' opinions about the standard intelligence
46．What's the BEST title for the passage?
A．What Is an IQ Score?
B．What Is IQ?
C．What Is an IQ Used for?
D．What's the Measure of IQ?

综合检测(一)
1．C 考查名词辨析。后半句提到了除了已被证实的12个病例外，没有其他人感染这种病毒，这显然是让人极其“宽慰(relief)”的事情。
2．C 句意：我们花费如此多的时间进行的工程及相关的实验运行得很好。解答该题要注意分清句子结构。“We had once devoted so much time to”为定语从句(省略了that/which)修饰“the project”，“worked out”为本句的谓语动词。
3．D 考查连词用法。句意：第一次见到他时，我想起了他的父亲，因为他们长得很像。the first time为名词短语作连词引导时间状语从句，表“第一次做……时”。故D项正确。
4．C pick up此处表示“无意学会”；bring up表示“抚养”；look up表示“查找”；set up表示“建立；确立”。
5．D have no anxiety over/about表示“对……不愁，不担心”。
6．D 句意：那男孩说服他妈妈给他买了一台家用电脑。talk sb.into doing sth.表示“说服某人做某事”。
7．B 句意：只要你给我们提供所有必需的信息，我们能够很快完成工作。in case“万一”；so long as“只要”；if only“要是……就好了”；as far as“远到，至于”。根据句意及两句的逻辑关系，选B。
8．C 考查非谓语动词。spend和time之间是动宾关系，故用过去分词作定语，修饰time，C项正确。而不定式和现在分词的被动语态分别表示尚未发生和正在发生的动作，均与语意不符。
9．A account for“作出解释”；make for“有助于”；change for，无此搭配；stand for“代表，赞同”。答句句意：最近工作中的压力也许可以解释他的行为。
10．B 根据语意可知，Kelly旅行回来后向我描述旅行的情况。explanation意为“解释”；imagination意为“想象，想象力”；idea意为“主意，念头”。account一般表示“账目，账号”，但还可以表示“记述，描述”，相当于description。
11．C 句意：“你想出好主意来了吗？”“噢，我以后会告诉你的。”come about“发生”；come up with“想出”，后跟计划、答案等名词作宾语，符合句意。
12．A 考查短语辨析。draw up“起草，拟订，使(车、马等)停住”；draw in“(车)到站；(白昼)渐短”；draw back“拉起，退后”；draw away“拉走，离开”。句意：请起草一份赴宴人员名单。所以A项符合语境。
13．D 考查连接词用法。doubt的否定式后接从句时要用that引导。there's no doubt that为固定搭配，意为“毫无疑问，毋庸置疑”。
14．A 本题是对插入语和分词作定语的综合考查。习惯用语judging from，“根据……判断”，作方式状语，它和句子的主语之间不存在逻辑上的主动或被动关系；当表示人因worry，excite，move，surprise，disappoint等而呈现出某种面部表情或发出某种声音时，常用-ed形式修饰。故选A项。
15．B 句意：“他为什么怒视你？”“我不断地打扰他。”glare at“怒视”；stare at“凝视”；gaze at“盯住”；glance at“瞥一眼”。
16．C 根据上段中的“...the 25th anniversary of a business”可知，此处指作者朋友的business“生意”。
17．D 作者与朋友相识后的25年里向朋友提供一些帮助。service“服务，帮助”；celebration“庆祝”；appointment“约会”；money“钱财”，不符合语境。
18．A 通过上下文可知，作者经常帮助他的朋友，因此他们之间的接触是经常性的。regularly“经常地，定期的”。
19．A 作者被邀请参加庆典，但却迟到了。语意上有转折，故选however“然而，可是”。
20．C 作者参加庆典迟到了，所以用最快的方式告诉朋友，因此是打电话给朋友。
21．B 由下文可知，朋友的庆典没有推迟、取消或结束，而只是推迟了庆典的正式部分，即非正式部分如期开始。
22．D 庆典已经开始，结合welcome and greet me可推知朋友作为主人最有可能是到庆典接待处迎接作者。
23．B 此处表示作者的朋友出来迎接，并表明他非常感谢和高兴见到作者。acknowledge“承认，就……表示感谢”。A、C、D项明显与文意不符。
24．C 由第五段最后一句可知，该庆祝会中的正式部分是在作者到达之后开始的，即因为作者未能及时赶到而推迟了。hold off“拖延”；set about“着手，开始”；go on“继续”；give up“放弃”。
25．C 作者听了朋友的话非常感动，此处表示作者肯定大家面对同样境况时也会有同样的感觉，故用share“分享”。
26．A 此处表示没有什么比受到这样的欢迎和接待更令人高兴的了。nothing better than“没有比……更好”。
27．B as意为“正如……”，符合语境。so表示因果关系；but表示转折关系；for表示因果关系，且常置于句末。
28．D 作者的朋友为了作者将庆典的正式部分推后，这让作者感到自己是一位特别而且重要的人。
29．A 此处指作者加入到其他前来庆祝的人们的群体中。join sb.“加入某人当中”。
30．D 由warmth and happiness in the room推知，此处指作者感受到极好的友好气氛。view“视野”；memory“记忆”；experience“经历”，均不符合语境。
31．C 庆典的正式开始之前作者同别人交流的时间很少，所以有点遗憾。sadly此处意为“可惜，不幸”。
32．D 根据下段段首的“During his thank-you speech...”可知，此处指庆典上作者朋友的致辞。
33．B 与后面的individually相对应，前面是作者的朋友代表家人表示感谢。on behalf of“代表”。
34．D 作者朋友的庆典发言并不像一般的发言一样。通常来讲，公司周年庆典发言会对公司进行大量的介绍。normally“通常，按惯例”。
35．A 作者的朋友在发言词中引用了一句话，反映了他做人、做事的态度。reflect“反映”；explain“解释”；instruct“教导”；encourage“鼓励”。
【语篇解读】 正如一位哲人所说，“小人物也有大梦想”。在英国，47岁的妇女Susan Boyle也有自己的追求和梦想。那么她来到“英国达人秀”会有怎样的经历呢？她最终会成功吗？
36．A 推理判断题。从文章第一段中“she was unemployed，had never been married and‘never been kissed，actually'”和“from a village in Scotland”这些信息可推知，Susan Boyle来自社会的底层，所以选A项。
37．C 细节理解题。从文章第二段中的“everyone—including the judges—seemed laughing at her”可知，人们最初都嘲笑她，看不起她。答案选C项。
38．B 推理判断题。从文章最后一段的内容可推知，她红遍全球要归功于互联网的传播，答案选B项。
39．C 段落大意题。通读文章第四段的内容可推知，该段主要讲述Susan Boyle在美国的影响，据此选C项。
【语篇解读】 美国洛杉矶的一位数学老师把复杂难懂的数学概念变成了说唱乐，从而让学生们如痴如醉地在数学公式里遨游。
40．C 细节理解题。根据文章第二、三段可知LaMar Queen在从教之初并不受学生欢迎，他用说唱方式授课后才出名的，可排除A项。根据文章第一段Their algebra teacher(他们的代数老师)以及后文多次提到“math”可知答案为C项。
41．C 推理判断题。根据全文尤其是第一、二段内容可知LaMar Queen教数学的方式与众不同，正因为他独特的教学方法使他获奖，故选C项。
42．B 推理判断题。全文介绍LaMar Queen用说唱的方法教授数学，属于教育类文章。故选B项。
43．B 细节理解题。从文章首段第一、二两句可知，最初有关IQ的测验是针对孩子们进行的。
44．A 细节理解题。从文章首段最后一句可知，如果一个孩子的IQ测试高于正常水平，那么他将会被认为是一个更加聪明的孩子。
45．D 推理判断题。从文章第三段第一句可推断出D项正确。
46．A 主旨大意题。本文主要讲述关于IQ score方面的内容。故A项最能确切表述文章大意。
47．D 通读第一段可知，主要是讲邻居的重要性，故选D项。
48．B 根据第一点的“Don't stay too long，though，or you'll wear out your welcome.”可推断，与一位新来的邻居进行长时间的谈话是不妥的。
49．A 根据第一点的“Proper greetings can make your neighbors remember your name.”可知第一点与c项相匹配；根据第二点的offer a few hours of help可知第二点与b项相匹配；第三点主要是讲当邻居处境艰难时应给予关怀，与d项相匹配；根据第四点的Invite your neighbors over可知第四点与a项相匹配，故选A项。
50．C 根据第二段的“Here are some tips for building a better relationship with your neighbors.”以及通读全文可知，作者的写作意图是告诉我们一些怎样与邻居融洽相处的方法。

Although Wu Huifei was only a concubine(妃子) of Tang Xuanzong(AD 685－762)，the sixth emperor of the Tang Dynasty，her influence was far greater than most in her position.
Historians say that the ruler loved her so much that，in AD 724，he banished his wife and made Wu a royal concubine.
“Although she was only a concubine，she was treated as an empress with palace etiquette(礼节)，”explained Shi Xiaoqun，director of relics collection for Shanxi History Museum.“Tang Xuanzong even wanted to make her his empress but was opposed by the ministers.”
The emperor had thousands of concubines in his palace in Chang'an(now called Xi'an，capital of Shanxi province)but，according to Shi，he only loved Wu，the mother of seven of his children.
Wu died in the December of AD 737 at the age of 38 and was buried in Jingling Mausoleum.She was given the title Empress Zhenshun after her death.
“It's rare for a concubine to be given so much posthumous(死后获得的)honor in the history of Chinese feudal(封建)society，”said Liu Daiyun，research director at the Shanxi Archaeological Research Institute.
Her tomb—53 meters wide by 56 meters long— is located in the west of Pangliu village，which is part of Xi'ans Chang'an district.
The recovered sarcophagus(石棺)is 4 meters long,2 meters wide and 2 meters tall and is decorated with flowers and maiden figures，which archaeologists say is a rare cultural relic of high scientific，historical and artistic value.In ancient times，a sarcophagus was used to house wood coffins in order to preserve the body of the noble person.
“I knew it was precious but I didn't know it was so beautiful，”said Han Qinglong，who headed the team that brought the relic back to China four years after it was stolen and sold abroad by tomb raiders(盗墓者)．
1．The underlined word“banished”in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to“________”．
A．killed B．removed
C．divorced D．persuaded

3．Which of the following descriptions about Wu Huifei is TRUE according to the passage?

A year ago, at the annual pre-Grammy party, Whitney Houston, the great star, walked on stage and closed the evening with a brilliant performance.
Last Saturday, Houston was once again the focus before the Grammy, but her presence was a regrettable one. Earlier that day, the pop music's former queen was found dead in her hotel room. She was 48. This, no doubt, is sad news to the whole music industry and her fans all over the world.
At her peak, Houston was the golden girl of the music world. From the mid-1980s to the late 1990s, she was one of the world's best-selling artists. She impressed audiences with her effortless，powerful and peerless performance.
Besides multi-million record sales, Houston made countless hits such as The Greatest Love of All, I Have Nothing, and the mostly famous I Will Always Love You. She also influenced a generation of younger singers, from Christina Aguilera to Mariah Carey.
But by the end of her career, there was a shocking fall for this superstar. Houston had been addicted to drugs.Her album sales declined and the hits stopped coming and her once beautiful voice became hoarse (嘶哑的), unable to hit the high notes as she used to.
In 2009, Houston staged a successful comeback with the album I Look To You, which fell on top of the charts.But hoarse voice, canceled concerts, and continuous illness—Houston's comeback trail wasn't smooth at all. In an interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2009, Houston admitted：“It (show business) is too much for me and I wanted out.”
Now that Houston has finally taken a break from all the chaos, may she rest in peace.
4．Whitney Houston died________.

________.
A．her album sales declined
B．show business was too much for her
C．her once beautiful voice became hoarse
D．She had been addicted to drugs
7．Whitney Houston's achievements include the following except that________.
A．She made countless hits such as I Have Nothing
B．She influenced a generation of younger singers

It was August 10, 2011.Diana Nyad was dozens of miles into her dream to complete a 103-mile swim from Cuba to Key West. Because of the currents in the Florida Straits, Nyad would have to last 60 hours—if everything went perfectly.
For two years, this dream of swimming from Cuba to Florida had been part of her every waking hour. She was about to turn 60.“I wanted to be filled with commitment to the best of myself so that I wasn't looking back later saying，‘What have I done with my life？’”says Nyad.
Those extreme physical struggles are not new to her. In 1974, 25-year-old Nyad became the first person to swim across Lake Ontario against the current. A year later, Nyad's 28-mile swim around the island of Manhattan made the front page of the New York Times.
“Physically, I'm stronger.I weigh a lot more，”Nyad said after a training swim in Key West in June.“There are also mental advantages to being older，”says Steven Munatones, an expert in swimming.
Feeling a sharp pain in her right shoulder, she changed the angle of stroke (划), telling herself to go gently until her hand caught the water. In the 17th hour, she swam over to the boat, and the crew located a pain reliever. Nyad took it. She lay on her back, rolled onto her belly and continued swimming, and then she'd turn on her back again, gasping, unable to fill her lungs.“I'm trying to make it，I'm barely going forward. I feel so sick.This has been my dream forever, but I can hardly make it another hour，” Nyad told David Marchant, the boat's navigator (领航员)．Between the 23rd and 27th hours, Nyad had gone just five miles.“OK, Diana，I'm going to touch you, and it's going to be over，”Stoll said. Nyad agreed. And with that, 29 hours and 43 minutes after she'd leaped into the water, the swim came to an end.
“She just wouldn't quit. It was more amazing to see her not make it the way she fought than if everything had gone exactly right and she'd made it the whole way，” says Mark Sollinger, who piloted Nyad's lead boat.
At a press conference in Key West after being pulled onto the support boat, Nyad choked back tears and said，“Sometimes the will is so strong. But I was shaking and freezing, and I thought，‘There's no mind over matter anymore.’I think I'm going to have to go to my grave without swimming from Cuba to Florida.”
But when Nyad returned home to Los Angeles, the pain began to fade.“Something says to me the goal is still there，”says Nyad.
1．Nyad decided to swim from Cuba to Florida because she________.
A．wouldn't swim against the current
B．wanted to prove she was stronger than before
C．had David Marchant as her navigator
D．wanted very much to fulfill her dream
2．We can learn from the passage that Nyad________.
A．refused any help as she struggled in the water to make it
B．has given up the dream of swimming across the Florida Straits
C．appeared on the front page of the New York Times at the age of 25
D．began the swim from Cuba to Florida when she was about 60 years old
3．What can we conclude from what Mark Sollinger says in Paragraph 6?
A．He didn't expect Nyad to succeed.
B．He was disappointed at Nyad's failure.
C．He really admired Nyad for her struggle.
D．He was not sure about Nyad's success.
4．Which of the following is the BEST title for the passage?
A．A Highly Skilled Swimmer
B．The Unsinkable Diana Nyad
C．A Regrettable Experience
D．The Inspiring Adventure

Ⅰ.1.assistant 2.satisfaction 3.biology 4.shelter
5．fault 6.kindness 7.characteristic 8.independent 9.desire 10.personality
Ⅱ.1.A shelter from“躲避……”；flee/escape from“从……逃离”；avoid为及物动词，意为“避免”。
2．D requirement相当于request，是“要求，需要”之意，其后所接的that引导的同位语从句的谓语动词用“(should＋)动词原形”的形式。
3．D 句意：获悉她身体康复是件非常令人欣慰的事。satisfaction在这里意为“令人满意/欣慰的事”，是可数名词。sorrow“难过”和shock“震惊”不符合题意，happiness“快乐”，是不可数名词。
4．D in a way表示“在某种程度上”；by the way“顺便”；on the way“在路上”；in the way“挡道；阻碍”。
5．A 句意：她渴望你一回来就给她打电话。根据从句的谓语是虚拟语气“should＋动词原形”，可知只有desire符合题意，故选A。
6．B 句意：一个伟大的人总是把他人的利益放于自己的利益之上。below低于；above高于；in在……内部；on one's own独自。
7．A 句意：John很独立，他几乎可以自己做所有的事。根据后句“他几乎可以自己做所有的事”，可得出他是个独立的人。故选A。

10．A 句意：“欢迎搭乘(本航班)”，当我们都坐好时，(客机)乘务员说。根据句意，应选A。
11．A 句意：在竞争面前，为了把你的能力充分发挥出来，你应该保持镇静和放松而不是紧张不安。upset“紧张的，不安的”，符合句意。proud“自豪的”；positive“积极的”；secure“安全的；有把握的”。
12．A 句意：他没有在截止期限之前完成工作，但是令我满意的是他已经完成的工作做得非常完美。考查to one's satisfaction表示“令某人满意的是……”之意的用法。
13．A 句意：这回你偷东西被抓个正着，你还有话可说吗？句子里的say和anything构成动宾关系，句子的主语you和say又是主谓关系，所以用不定式的主动形式作定语。
14．C to one's relief“让某人感到欣慰的是……”。救援最终还是来了，这肯定是令人感到欣慰的。to one's surprise“让某人感到惊讶的是……”；to one's disappointment“让某人失望的是……”；to one's anger“让某人愤怒的是……”。
15．D 句意：“你还没有向她道歉吗？”“不是我的错误，为什么我要向她道歉？”fault“错误，过失”符合题意。intention“目的，意图”；purpose“目的”；weakness“弱点”。

Some people would go through anything just to
achieve their dream. Kasia Siwosz is proof.For the final year student on the university women's tennis team, the road to Berkeley, University of California was met with poor advice and misinformation from her home country and two_unsuccessful_stops along the way that fell short of expectations.
Born in Poland，Siwosz began playing tennis at seven years old and developed the skills that helped her earn a top-50 ranking among the ITF Junior division(国际网球联会青少年赛)．Siwosz wanted to do more with her life than just play tennis，which led her to seek chances that would also allow her to obtain a top education.While most who grow up in the US are naturally accustomed to the American tradition of collegiate(大学的)sports，such a custom is not as familiar in a country like Poland.“There's no collegiate sports in Poland and no culture of sports and academic(学术的)study there.You can only do one，not both，”Siwosz said.
Her desire to have a quality education led her to
America to follow her dream.While Siwosz was talented enough to begin her collegiate tennis career，she could only attend community college because she missed the deadline to apply to four-year-schools，mainly due to misinformation provided in her home country of Poland.
When she had earned all her credits and was able to transfer (转学)，Siwosz made the decision to attend Baylor in Texas.Her friends from Poland put in a good word for the university，saying that it was a good fit because there were many international players at Baylor.“I thought it would be a good idea，but it really wasn't what I thought it would be，”Siwosz said.“I wasnt't happy at Baylor.The level of tennis was high，but the academic standards were no match and I just wanted more.”
After one year at Baylor，Siwosz's luck finally began to change when she made the decision to transfer to Berkeley，which was due in large part to Lee，a former Berkeley student.Lee，who is a keen tennis player himself，met Siwosz four years ago in Texas.“l knew she was unhappy there，”he said.“I saw the opportunity for her to come here.”Siwosz visited Lee in Berkeley.“I ended up loving this place and this school.”Siwosz said.“I came here a lot over the summer, I gave it a shot and I ended up with a Berkeley education and a spot on one of the best college tennis teams in the country.”

America?

C．She wanted to play tennis and have a good education.
D．She wanted to improve her tennis skills and get a higher ranking.
3．Why did she leave Baylor?
A．The level of tennis there was not high.
B．It was not suitable for international students.
C．She couldn't get along with her friends there.
D．She was not satisfied with the education level there.
4．What is the main idea of the passage?

Below is some advice on how to prevent colds and flu.
8 Ways to Avoid Colds and Flu
1．Wash your hands and wash them often
The US Naval Health Research Center conducted a study of 40,000 volunteers who were ordered to wash their hands five times a day. The volunteers cut their incidence of flu by 45 percent.
2．Wash your hands twice every time you wash them
Researchers at Columbia University found one handwashing had little effect，even when using antibacterial soap. So wash twice if you're serious about preventing colds.
3．Change your toothbrush every three months
You think your toothbrush gets your teeth clean—and it does.But once you've finished brushing, it can be a breeding ground for germs. Most dentists recommend you change your brush every two or three months. It's also a good idea to replace it after you've had a cold or flu.
4．Sneeze and cough into your arm or tissue (纸巾)
Whoever taught us to cover our mouths when we cough or sneeze got it wrong.That just puts the germs right on our hands, where you can spread them to objects—and other people.Instead, put your arm over your mouth and nose when you sneeze or cough if a tissue isn't handy.It's pretty rare that you shake someone's arm, after all.
5．Stop blaming yourself when things go wrong
Believe if or not，blaming yourself makes you more likely to catch a cold！Researchers found that even those who had control over their work were more likely to begin sneezing if they lacked confidence or tended to blame themselves when things went wrong.Such attitudes make people more stressed on the job, and stress, as you know，can challenge your immune system.6.Once a day, sit in a quiet, dim room, close your eyes, and focus on one word
Meditate(冥想)．It is a proven way to reduce stress. Studies have shown that stress weakens your immune system. In fact, people with high stress levels have up to twice the number of colds as non-stressed people.
7．Get moving
Ride a bike, join a dance class, or go for a walk. A study found that older women who did 45 minutes of gentle exercise, five times a week for a year, were up to three times less likely to get a cold than women who took little exercise. The researchers found that the exercisers' immune system was strongest in the last three months of the study.
8．Leave the windows in your house open a crack
You don't have to keep all of them open, but one or two in the rooms in which you spend the most time. This is particularly important if you live in a newer home, where fresh circulating air has been the victim of energy efficiency.A bit of fresh air will do wonders for chasing out germs.
5．To prevent yourself from getting colds，you should wash your hands________.
A．twice every hour B．twice every time
C．five times every hour D．five times every time
6．When you cough or sneeze，you should________.
A．put your hands over your mouth
B．avoid shaking hands with other people
C．cover your mouth with your arm or a tissue
D．keep away from other people
7．Your immune system will be weakened if________.
A．your stress level is high
B．your room is not bright
C．you have control over your work
D．you do not exercise for 45 minutes every day
8．If you live in a new house，it is particularly important to________.
A．leave all the windows open a crack
B．leave only one or two windows open to save energy
C．keep one or two windows open in the rooms where you spend the most time
D．keep all the doors an windows open to let in more fresh air when you are at home

课时作业(三)
Ⅰ.1.account 2.section 3.shortcomings
4．revision 5.allergic 6.glance 7.guilty
8. confirm 9. sigh 10. judge
Ⅱ.1.A 考查名词辨析。句意：教练和队友的批评、想获胜的压力给年轻的运动员造成过多的焦虑。anxiety焦虑，符合题意。attempt 尝试，企图；atmosphere空气，气氛；curiosity好奇(心)。
2．C 由“so＋adj.＋a/an＋可数名词单数＋that...”和“such＋a/an＋adj.＋可数名词单数＋that...”可知C项切题。
3．B 句意：就我看来，教育是关于学习的事，你学习得越多，你对生活准备得就越充分。这里考查的是the more...，the more...结构。
4．B 句意：如果你尽快让我知道，我将会非常感激你。考查grateful表示“感激的；感恩的”之意的用法，相当于thankful，多用于be grateful/thankful to sb.for sth.表示“因为某事而感激某人。”
5．A 考查with复合结构。句意：客厅干净整洁，餐桌已经摆好就等着煮饭了。lay(布置，摆放)是及物动词，与宾语table是动宾关系，且再由already可知，此处用过去分词作宾补，表示被动和完成。
6．C 句意：人们看到游行中的这个傻皇帝的时候忍不住嘲笑他。can't help doing sth.意为“禁不住做某事”，排除A、B；laugh at意为“嘲笑”，无laugh on用法。故本题选C。
7．D 句意：我第一次游览长城时，那美丽的景色给我留下了深刻的印象。从句式来看，______I toured the Great Wall应为时间状语从句。只有the first time可以引导时间状语从句。
8．C 句意：孟祥斌为救一个落水女孩而献出生命，这个故事感动了全国。考查devote...to结构，其中的to为介词，其后应接名词、代词或动名词，故选C。
9．A 测试虚拟语气。从具体语境可知译文如下：——老天！我刚好没赶上火车。——太糟糕了。我相信：如果您快点的语，一定能赶上的。故此可知表示对过去的推测。
10．B stare at“盯着看”，glare at“怒目而视”；而glance at意为“扫一眼”。根据空后“shyly”的提示，可知选B。
