When I came to China, my supply of Chinese friends who were willing to hear me talk about school(one of the few topics I could hold more than a two-minute conversation about) was fairly limited. So how did I practise my spoken Chinese
In my effort to be a good student, I decided to talk to every single taxi driver in Beijing. Taxi drivers were easy targets. They couldn’t tell me to shut up and they had nowhere to hide from my horrible grammar.
To my surprise, taxi drivers became my favorite Chinese teachers because most of the time they were happy to talk to me about anything. Also, their most loved topics of conversation tended to fall into three simple categories (种类): food, their hometown, and the foreigners’ countries. My ability to reach this level of conversational skill has been made possible by one question—“Are you a Beijinger ” and taxi drivers loved talking about their hometown.
I found that 15 minutes with a Beijing taxi driver was worth one hour with my Chinese tutor because they couldn’t speak English so there’s no second language to fall back on when things got too tough. It’s just me and my Chinese skills that would help. I was constantly surprised by how much I understood in comparison to my Chinese language level. And even if they kept talking for the whole trip, at least I was honing my listening skills. Over time, I found I could understand more and more, and was able to respond surprisingly quickly.
Another trick: If I wanted to impress, I would add an extra “r” to end my words. It always seemed to cheer them up, and usually I would get an encouraging “Your Beijing dialect is so good!”
4. What was an advantage for the author to talk to taxi drivers in Beijing
A. They were very knowledgeable.
B. They were cheaper than teachers.
C. They had to put up with his grammar.
D. They were more willing to help.
5. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “honing” in paragraph 4
A. Improving. B. Showing. C. Missing. D. Exchanging.
6. Why did the author add an extra “r” to end his words
A. He hoped to practise his Beijing dialect.
B. He wanted to make fun of the drivers’ accent.
C. He mainly aimed to cover up his poor Chinese.
D. He wanted to make a good impression on the drivers.
7. What is the text mainly about
A. The challenges of learning Chinese.
B. The talkative taxi drivers in Beijing.
C. The difficulty of living in a foreign country.
D. The experience of practising spoken Chinese.
C
In December 1994, a weight-loss movement was started, stating that obesity(肥胖) had become America’s second-largest cause of death, “resulting in about 300, 000 lives lost each year.” This marked the beginning of a long and influential life for the number. Experts began using the number to stress the seriousness of the problem. After ten years, the number had ballooned to nearly 400, 000 deaths caused by high weight, and it was expected to soon reach half a million. But these seemingly shocking numbers were then overturned(推翻) The number killer was Katherine Flegal.
Hoping to better understand the relationship between body size and death rate, Flegal led a study that finally showed something many scientists—and certainly the public—did not expect:the annual(每年的) deaths related to obesity added up to just more than 100, 000. More interesting still, people considered “overweight” could live longer than those who had “normal” weight. The study was met with a firestorm of doubt. “People were saying that our article was rubbish,” Flegal says. “Our findings produced controversy(争论) because someone wanted a controversy.”
“People are just more comfortable with a larger number—they prefer it to be larger,” Flegal says. And in nutrition science and medicine, that larger number is equal to the idea that thinner is better, skinnier is healthier. “You can report the same findings about obesity 100 times, and it can be called ‘unexpected’ every single time,” Flegal says. “At what point would you change your mind and say this might be the expected ”
“It’s human nature for people to find proof that supports their belief,” Caan, a breast cancer researcher says. “But we need to study where the data takes us.” Her own “unexpected findings” led to a discovery that could influence breast cancer patients:keeping muscle during treatment is far more important to survival than avoiding weight gain. “We can’t be stuck in what we thought was true,” Caan says, “because then we’re never going to move the field forward.”
8. In paragraph 1, the author lists numbers to ______.
A. call on people to lose weight B. draw experts’ attention to obesity
C. support the weight-loss movement D. introduce Flegal’s research background
9. What do we know about Flegal’s study
A. It helped people to live a longer life.
B. It lacked proof so that it caused doubt.
C. Its aim was to decide on normal weight ranges.
D. Its findings were beyond people’s expectations.
10. What does “this” refer to in paragraph 3
A. A point that changes our mind.
B. A study about nutrition science.
C The large number of deaths caused by obesity.
D. The idea that thinner is better, skinnier is healthier
11. What can be inferred(推断) from Caan’s unexpected findings
A. Breast cancer is related to body size.
B. It is necessary to break limiting beliefs.
C. Losing weight matters to cancer patients.
D. It is right to believe what we choose to believe.
D
Should humans explore space If you ask me, I’ll definitely give a positive answer.
The exploration of space has a direct impact on the lives of humans, as well as the state of our world. Satellites (卫星) moving around the earth enable communication across the world, connecting people of different continents and broadcasting information worldwide. The Global Positioning System (GPS) can identify our location anywhere. Furthermore, weather satellites can predict harmful weather conditions which allows humans to prepare for deadly natural disasters and save lives.
Space programs can also indirectly contribute to the solution to poverty and world hunger. For example, large pieces of land could be used far better if humans applied technologies. The most effective tool is the artificial (人造的) earth satellite. It can screen areas of land within a very short time, indicating useful measures such as the condition of crops, soil rainfall, and droughts. It can then send this information to ground stations on the earth for better use.
Furthermore, access to better education means better life prospects and opportunities for human beings. Rural (乡村的) communities have disadvantaged access to education and satellite communication technologies are trying to bridge this gap. With the development of technology, students can now access any information and connect with peers and teachers in different parts of the world through video conferences and the creation of virtual classrooms.
Space exploration is something we can do for future generations. Mankind is using the resources provided on the planet, but these will run out one day. Overpopulation can be a threat for all mankind. With the development of space technology, it will be wise to use and explore the vast potential of other planets, such as the availability of mining resources on asteroids (小行星) or other planets.
For the exploration of the universe, perhaps the most advantageous of all is that it will unite us to work together for a common purpose, regardless of our differences.
12. What can space exploration do according to Paragraph 2
A. Improve the traffic on the earth.
B. Promote travel between countries.
C. Help prevent deadly natural disasters.
D. Help humans communicate and exchange information.
13. How can space programs help with poverty and world hunger
A. By benefiting crop production with artificial earth satellites.
B. By transporting food worldwide more easily.
C. By creating job opportunities for the poor.
D. By protecting available land resources.
14. What does the author think of mining resources on other planets
A. Time-wasting. B. Arguable. C. Necessary. D. Educational.
15. What would be the best title for the text
A. Why Space Exploration Is Important
B. Why Humankind Should Keep Exploring
C. Why We Should Improve Space Technology
D. Why Humans Should Keep Developing Technologies

It’s just me and my Chinese skills that would help. I was constantly surprised by how much I understood in comparison to my Chinese language level. And even if they kept talking for the whole trip, at least I was honing my listening skills. Over time, I found I could understand more and more, and was able to respond surprisingly quickly.
Another trick: If I wanted to impress, I would add an extra “r” to end my words. It always seemed to cheer them up, and usually I would get an encouraging “Your Beijing dialect is so good!”
4. What was an advantage for the author to talk to taxi drivers in Beijing
A. They were very knowledgeable.
B. They were cheaper than teachers.
C. They had to put up with his grammar.
D. They were more willing to help.
5. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “honing” in paragraph 4
A. Improving. B. Showing. C. Missing. D. Exchanging.
6. Why did the author add an extra “r” to end his words
A. He hoped to practise his Beijing dialect.
B. He wanted to make fun of the drivers’ accent.
C. He mainly aimed to cover up his poor Chinese.
D. He wanted to make a good impression on the drivers.

In December 1994, a weight-loss movement was started, stating that obesity(肥胖) had become America’s second-largest cause of death, “resulting in about 300, 000 lives lost each year.” This marked the beginning of a long and influential life for the number. Experts began using the number to stress the seriousness of the problem. After ten years, the number had ballooned to nearly 400, 000 deaths caused by high weight, and it was expected to soon reach half a million. But these seemingly shocking numbers were then overturned(推翻) The number killer was Katherine Flegal.
Hoping to better understand the relationship between body size and death rate, Flegal led a study that finally showed something many scientists—and certainly the public—did not expect:the annual(每年的) deaths related to obesity added up to just more than 100, 000. More interesting still, people considered “overweight” could live longer than those who had “normal” weight. The study was met with a firestorm of doubt. “People were saying that our article was rubbish,” Flegal says. “Our findings produced controversy(争论) because someone wanted a controversy.”
“People are just more comfortable with a larger number—they prefer it to be larger,” Flegal says. And in nutrition science and medicine, that larger number is equal to the idea that thinner is better, skinnier is healthier. “You can report the same findings about obesity 100 times, and it can be called ‘unexpected’ every single time,” Flegal says. “At what point would you change your mind and say this might be the expected ”
“It’s human nature for people to find proof that supports their belief,” Caan, a breast cancer researcher says. “But we need to study where the data takes us.” Her own “unexpected findings” led to a discovery that could influence breast cancer patients:keeping muscle during treatment is far more important to survival than avoiding weight gain. “We can’t be stuck in what we thought was true,” Caan says, “because then we’re never going to move the field forward.”
8. In paragraph 1, the author lists numbers to ______.
A. call on people to lose weight B. draw experts’ attention to obesity
C. support the weight-loss movement D. introduce Flegal’s research background
9. What do we know about Flegal’s study
A. It helped people to live a longer life.
B. It lacked proof so that it caused doubt.
C. Its aim was to decide on normal weight ranges.
D. Its findings were beyond people’s expectations.
10. What does “this” refer to in paragraph 3
A. A point that changes our mind.
B A study about nutrition science.
C. The large number of deaths caused by obesity.
D. The idea that thinner is better, skinnier is healthier
11. What can be inferred(推断) from Caan’s unexpected findings
A. Breast cancer is related to body size.
B. It is necessary to break limiting beliefs.
C. Losing weight matters to cancer patients.
D. It is right to believe what we choose to believe.
【答案】8. D 9. D 10. C 11. B
【解析】

【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“More interesting still, people considered “overweight” could live longer than those who had “normal” weight. The study was met with a firestorm of doubt.(更有趣的是，被认为“超重”的人比体重“正常”的人活得更长。这项研究遭到了猛烈的质疑。)”可知，关于弗莱戈的研究调查结果超出了人们的预期。故选D项。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据上文“the annual(每年的) deaths related to obesity added up to just more than 100, 000.(每年与肥胖相关的死亡人数加起来刚刚超过10万人。)”和“You can report the same findings about obesity 100 times, and it can be called ‘unexpected’ every single time,” (关于肥胖，你可以报道100次同样的发现，但每一次都可以被称为“意外”)”可推知，第3段this指的是肥胖导致的大量死亡这一情况。故选C项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段““We can’t be stuck in what we thought was true,” Caan says, “because then we’re never going to move the field forward.”(我们不能拘泥于我们认为正确的东西，”Caan说，“因为那样我们就永远无法推动这个领域向前发展。”)”可推知，打破限制性信念是必要的。故选B项。

Should humans explore space If you ask me, I’ll definitely give a positive answer.
The exploration of space has a direct impact on the lives of humans, as well as the state of our world. Satellites (卫星) moving around the earth enable communication across the world, connecting people of different continents and broadcasting information worldwide. The Global Positioning System (GPS) can identify our location anywhere. Furthermore, weather satellites can predict harmful weather conditions which allows humans to prepare for deadly natural disasters and save lives.
Space programs can also indirectly contribute to the solution to poverty and world hunger. For example, large pieces of land could be used far better if humans applied technologies. The most effective tool is the artificial (人造的) earth satellite. It can screen areas of land within a very short time, indicating useful measures such as the condition of crops, soil rainfall, and droughts. It can then send this information to ground stations on the earth for better use.
Furthermore, access to better education means better life prospects and opportunities for human beings. Rural (乡村的) communities have disadvantaged access to education and satellite communication technologies are trying to bridge this gap. With the development of technology, students can now access any information and connect with peers and teachers in different parts of the world through video conferences and the creation of virtual classrooms.
Space exploration is something we can do for future generations. Mankind is using the resources provided on the planet, but these will run out one day. Overpopulation can be a threat for all mankind. With the development of space technology, it will be wise to use and explore the vast potential of other planets, such as the availability of mining resources on asteroids (小行星) or other planets.
For the exploration of the universe, perhaps the most advantageous of all is that it will unite us to work together for a common purpose, regardless of our differences.
12. What can space exploration do according to Paragraph 2
A. Improve the traffic on the earth.
B. Promote travel between countries.
C. Help prevent deadly natural disasters.
D. Help humans communicate and exchange information.
13. How can space programs help with poverty and world hunger
A. By benefiting crop production with artificial earth satellites.
B. By transporting food worldwide more easily.
C. By creating job opportunities for the poor.
D. By protecting available land resources.
14. What does the author think of mining resources on other planets
A. Time-wasting. B. Arguable. C. Necessary. D. Educational.
15. What would be the best title for the text
A. Why Space Exploration Is Important
B. Why Humankind Should Keep Exploring
C. Why We Should Improve Space Technology
D. Why Humans Should Keep Developing Technologies
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章具体介绍了进行探索太空的好处和必要性。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Satellites (卫星) moving around the earth enable communication across the world, connecting people of different continents and broadcasting information worldwide. (围绕地球运行的卫星使世界各地的通信成为可能，它将不同大陆的人们联系在一起，向全世界广播信息。)”可知，太空探索可以帮助人类沟通和交换信息。故选D项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“The most effective tool is the artificial (人造的) earth satellite. It can screen areas of land within a very short time, indicating useful measures such as the condition of crops, soil rainfall, and droughts. It can then send this information to ground stations on the earth for better use. (最有效的工具是人造地球卫星。它可以在很短的时间内对陆地区域进行筛选，指示诸如作物状况、土壤降雨和干旱等有用的措施。然后，它可以将这些信息发送到地球上的地面站，以便更好地利用。)”可知，太空项目可以通过利用人造地球卫星促进作物生产来帮助消除贫困和世界饥饿。故选A项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“Mankind is using the resources provided on the planet, but these will run out one day. Overpopulation can be a threat for all mankind. With the development of space technology, it will be wise to use and explore the vast potential of other planets, such as the availability of mining resources on asteroids (小行星) or other planets. (人类正在使用地球上提供的资源，但这些资源总有一天会耗尽。人口过剩可能对全人类构成威胁。随着太空技术的发展，使用和探索其他行星的巨大潜力将是明智的，例如小行星或其他行星上的采矿资源的可用性。)”可知，地球上的资源是有限的，利用太空技术去使用和探索其他行星的巨大潜力是明智之举。由此可知，作者认为在其他星球上开采资源是必要的。故选C项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，并结合第一段“Should humans explore space If you ask me, I’ll definitely give a positive answer. (人类应该探索太空吗？如果你问我，我肯定会给一个肯定的答案。)”可知，文章认为人类应该进行太空探索，具体介绍了探索太空的好处和必要性。因此，A项“为什么太空探索很重要？”符合文章主旨，最适合作为标题。故选A项。

【16题详解】
该空后句You will also need to work hard to make sure people know who you are and why they should vote for you.（你也需要努力来确定人们知道你是谁，知道为什么选你）。F. To win over voters you need to reach out to as many voters as possible.（为了赢得选票你需要接触尽可能多的投票人）上下句联系紧密，两句中的need to（需要…）和also need to(还需要…)构成了两个递进关系的句子，都在讲为了赢得选票所要做的事，逻辑严密。故选F项。
【17题详解】
该空下句Make sure you know what the position does, and what you will be able to do once you get there.（确保你知道职位的职能，确保你去了那儿你知道自己能做什么）。E. Student organizations have many offices with different responsibilities.（学生组织有很多不同职能的办公室）和下句承接自然，逻辑严密，因为办公室职能不同，所以弄清楚自己想申请的职位才能到正确办公室做相应的事。故选E项。
【18题详解】
该空选择中心句。根据下文Your network can also help with more practical activities, such as designing and making posters and encouraging their classmates to vote for you.（你的人脉网络也可以帮你处理更多实践活动，例如设计，制作海报，在同学那儿为你拉票）可知，本段主要讲让竞选者建立人脉网络。A. Create a network.（建立人脉网络）符合本段内容，可以作为本段中心句。故选A项。

【20题详解】
该空下句，Get people familiar with you so that they trust you enough to give you their vote.（让人们熟悉你，因此他们就会足够信任你然后把选票投给你）。D. Speak to as many people as you can throughout the school.(尽可能多得与全校的人交流)与下句承接自然：因为和别人交流，然后才能让别人熟悉你并且投票给你。且两句在句式上相同，都是祈使句。故选D项。
【点睛】七选五的解题技巧之一是根据上下文词汇来锁定线索。即：要关注空白前后的名词或动词，然后在选项中查找它们的近义词，反义词，同义词或者同类词等。其次是一些专有名词，比如数字，代词，时间，年代，地点等。在本文中，第1小题中的“need to”，第2小题的“offices”，第3小题的“network”,第四小题的“name”均与上下文有相呼应的词。

考查时态和主谓一致。句意：服装和面具也很棒。根据上下文可知，这里是将自己观看戏剧时的场景，表示过去发生的事情，应用一般过去时。且主语为The costumes and masks，表示复数，所以be动词应用were。故填were。
【41题详解】
考查介词。句意：歌剧运用了一些技巧，把一个小舞台变成了整个宇宙。transform...into...意“将……转变为……”，为固定搭配。故填into。
【42题详解】
考查状语从句。句意：它如此令人陶醉和充满活力，以至于我不确定这些角色是表演者还是运动员！so...that...意为“如此……以至于……”，引导结果状语从句。故填that。
【43题详解】
考查名词的数。句意参考上题。根据空后的“or athletes”可知，空处应填表示人的名词。performer意为“表演者”，为可数名词，且空前没有表示数量的限定词修饰，所以这里应用复数形式。故填performers。
【44题详解】
考查不定式。句意：所以，如果你想要看一场集音乐、歌唱、戏剧、诗歌和服装设计于一体、具有爆炸效果的演出，《王子复仇记》就选对了！want to do sth.意为“想要做某事”，不定式作宾语。故填to see。
【45题详解】
考查定语从句。句意参考上题。分析句子结构，空处引导一个定语从句，修饰先行词a show，指物，且在从句中作主语，所以应用that或which引导。故填that或which。

【答案】Dear Emily
I am more than delighted to hear from you. As for my favorite sport, I’d say it is badminton.
When I watched Lin Dan playing badminton at the Olympic Games, I was deeply impressed by his excellent skills and I decided to be just like him. I fell in love with badminton as soon as I started playing it and formed the habit of playing it with my friends at weekends. As time goes by, I have greatly improved my skills.

Yours,
Li Hua
