Plants are floweri ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ng faster than scientists predicted (预测) in reaction to climate change, which could have long damaging effects on food chains and ecosystems.
Global warming is ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )having a great effect on hundreds of plant and animal species around the world, changing some living patterns, scientists say.
Increased carbon ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )dioxide (CO2) in the air from burning coal and oil can have an effect on how plants produce oxygen, while higher temperatures and changeable rainfall patterns can change their patterns of growth.
“Predicting specie ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s’reaction to climate change is a major challenge in ecology, ” said the researchers of several U. S. universities. They said plants had been the key object of study because their reaction to climate change could have an effect on food chains and ecosystem services.
The study, publis ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hed on the Nature website, uses the findings from plant life cycle studies and experiments across four continents and 1, 634 species. It found that some experiments had underestimated (低估) the speed of flowering by 8. 5 times and leafing by 4 times.
“Across all ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )species, the experiments under- predicted the speed of the advance—for both leafing and flowering—that results from temperature increases, ”the study said.
The design of ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) future experiments may need to be improved to better predict how plants will react to climate change, it said.
Plants are neces ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )sary for life on the Earth. They are the base of the food chain, using photosynthesis (光合作用) to produce sugar from carbon dioxide and water. They let out oxygen which is needed by nearly every organism on the planet.
Scientists believ ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e the world’s average temperature has risen by about 0. 8℃ since 1900, and nearly 0. 2 ℃ every ten years since 1979.
So far, efforts to ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) cut emissions (排放) of planet- warming greenhouse gases are not seen as enough to prevent the Earth heating up beyond 2℃ this century—a point scientists say will bring the danger of a changeable climate in which weather extremes are common, leading to drought, floods, crop failures and rising sea levels.
1. What is the ke ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )y information the author wants to give in Paragraph 1
A. Plants’reaction ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )to weather could have damaging effects on ecosystems.
B. The increasin ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )g speed of flowering is beyond scientists’expectation.
C. Climate change leads to the change of food production patterns.
D. Food chains have been seriously damaged because of weather.
2. We can le ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )arn from the study published on the Nature website that　　　.　
A. plants’flowering is 8. 5 times faster than leafing
B. there are 1, 634 plant species on the four continents
C. scientists should improve the design of the experiments
D. the experiments f ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ailed to predict how plants react to climate change
3. Scientists pa ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )y special attention to the study of plants because　　　.　
A. they can prove the climate change clearly
B. they are very important in the food chains
C. they play a leading role in reducing global warming
D. they are growing and flowering much faster than before
4. What can be i ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nferred from the last two paragraphs about the world’s temperature
A. It has risen nearly 0. 2℃ since 1979.
B. Its change will lead to weather extremes.
C. It is 0. 8℃ higher in 1979 than that of 1900.
D. It needs to be controlled within 2℃ in this century.

阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
You’re sitting on ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) the train home and the person opposite you yawns(打哈欠). Suddenly, you’re yawning with him, though you’re not tired.
This phenomenon con ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )fused scientists for years until a recent study found that people tend to sympathize with fellow humans. Supporting this claim was the discovery that those children who were unable to form normal emotional ties with others did not experience contagious(有感染力的) yawning, which showed that humans communicate regularly without words.
Hugo Critchley, a neur ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )oscientist, has conducted an experiment recently, which will prove that happiness and sadness can spread like the common cold. According to Critchley, our mind and body are in constant exchange about how we’re feeling. “Emotions are closely linked with states of internal(内部的) responses,” he explained. “There are also more visible changes in our gestures and facial expressions. When we’re in a group, these signals can spread to another person. For example, there’s the obvious tendency to smile when smiled at and there are less obvious changes that reflect emotions of surprise, anger or sadness such as a change in our heart rate and blood pressure.”
Hugo Critchley further explained, “Our bodies synchronise and when we like the other person, we even copy his behavior. Next time you chat with a friend, take note of how you’re sitting—it’s pretty likely that you will be the same. Scientists believe it’s our way of telling each other that we’re partners. Through body language, humans give each other very subtle(微妙的) but clear signals that show emotions.”
So, what lessons ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )can we learn from this “Spend time with happy people—otherwise your health could suffer,” said Critchley. “When we’re sad, our body goes into fight or flight mode. But when we’re happy, our body works normally and we feel relaxed and positive. So we look bright, our skin glows, we feel healthy and it affects everyone around us.”
1. According to Hugo Critchley, 　　　.　
A. emotions are as visible as facial expressions
B. we yawn more frequently when we have a cold
C. emotions are connected with states of internal responses
D. the change o ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )f blood pressure is not linked with the change of emotions
2. The underlined word “synchronise” in Paragraph 4 means “　　　”.　
A. move slowly　　　　　　B. change rapidly
C. relax temporarily　　　　D. respond accordingly
3. From the passage we can learn　　　.　
A. sadness is as contagious as happiness
B. anger is less contagious than friendliness
C. surprise is more contagious than smile
D. surprise is the most contagious among emotions
4. Which of th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e following statements is true according to the passage
A. Emotions have delicate influence on fellow humans.
B. Children like copying the actions of fellow humans.
C. Scientists are still confused about contagious yawning.
D. People tend to communicate more with body language.

“Mum，what does it m ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ean when someone tells you that they have a skeleton(骨骼) in the closet(衣橱)？” Jessica asked. “A skeleton in the closet？” her mother paused thoughtfully, “Well, it's something that you would rather not have anyone else know about. For example, if in the past, someone in Dad's family had been arrested for stealing a horse, it would be ‘a skeleton in his family's closet’. He really wouldn't want any neighbor to konw about it.”
“Why pick on my family ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )？” Jessica's father said with anger. “Your family history isn't so good, you know. Wasn't your great great grandfather a prisoner who was transported to Australia for his crimes？” “Yes, but people these days say that you are not a real Australian unless your ancestors arrived as prisoners.” “Gosh, sorry I asked. I think I understand now，” Jessica cut in before things grew worse.
After dinner, the house was very quiet. Jessica's parents were still quite angry with each other. Her mother was ironing clothes and every now and then she glared at her husband, who hid behind his newspaper pretending to read. When she finished, she gathered the freshly pressed clothes in her arms and walked to Jessica's closet. Just as she opened the door and reached in to hang a skirt, a bony arm stuck out from the dark depths and a bundle of white bones fell to the floor. Jessica's mother sank into a faint(晕倒), waking only when Jessica put a cold, wet cloth on her forehead. She looked up to see the worried faces of her husband and daughter.
“What happened Where am I？” she asked. “You just destroyed the school's skeleton, Mum，” explained Jessica. “I brought it home to help me with my health project. I meant to tell you, but it seemed that as soon as I mentioned skeletons and closets, it caused a problem between you and Dad.” Jessica looked in amazement as her parents began to laugh madly. “They're both crazy，” she thought.
本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了一个幽默故事。杰西卡问妈妈“衣橱里放骨骼”是什么意思，妈妈解释说那是不为人知的秘密，并以杰西卡爸爸的祖先做例子，引起了杰西卡爸爸的恼火。饭后，杰西卡爸爸依然生气，杰西卡妈妈熨完衣服后把衣服放到衣橱里，结果发现了衣橱里的骨骼而吓昏过去。原来杰西卡为了完成学校的健康计划，把骨骼带回了家并放在了衣橱里。
1．According t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )o Jessica's mother, “a skeleton in the closet” means ________.
A．a family honor B．a family secret
C．a family story D．a family treasure
答案：B。细节理解题。由第 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )一段的“it's something that you would rather not have anyone else know about”可知，B项正确。
2．What can we learn ab ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )out some Australians' ancestors from Paragraph 2
A．They were brought to Australia as prisoners.
B．They were the earliest people living in Australia.
C．They were involved in some crimes in Australia.
D．They were not regarded as criminals in their days.
答案：A。推理判断题。根据第二段的“but ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) people these days say that you are not a real Australian unless your ancestors arrived as prisoners”可推断A项正确，即一些澳大利亚人的祖先是被作为犯人带到澳大利亚。
3．Jessica's mother fell down into a faint because she was ________.
A．knocked B．frightened
C．injured D．surprised
答案：B。推理判断题。杰西卡的妈妈是看到了衣橱里的骨骼而晕倒的，我们推断应该是吓倒的。
4．Why did Jessica bring a skeleton home
A．She was curious about it. B．She planned to keep it for fun.
C．She needed it for h ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )er school task. D．She intended to scare her parents.
答案：C。细节理解题。由最后一段的“You ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) just destroyed the school's skeleton...I brought it home to help me with my health project”可知答案C正确。
5．Jessica's parent ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s laughed madly at the end of the story probably because ________.
A．they were crazy
B．they were overexcited
C．they realized their misunderstanding
D．they both thought they had won the quarrel
答案：C。推理判断题。通读全文可知，杰西卡的父母误解了杰西卡的意思。

Do you know how it ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) is when you see someone yawn and you start yawning too Or how hard it is to be among people laughing and not laugh yourself Well, apparently it’s because we have mirror neurons (神经元) in our brains.
Put simply, the exist ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ence of mirror neurons suggests that every time we see someone else do something, our brains imitate (模仿) it, whether or not we actually perform the same action. This explains a great deal about how we learn to smile, talk, walk, dance or play sports. But the idea goes further: mirror neurons not only appear to explain physical actions, they also tell us that there is a biological basis for the way we understand other people.
Mirror neurons ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )can undoubtedly be found all over our brains, but especially in the areas which relate to our ability to use languages, and to understand how other people feel. Researchers have found that mirror neurons relate strongly to language. A group of researchers discovered that if they gave people sentences to listen to (for example: “The hand took hold of the ball”) , the same mirror neurons weretriggered as when the action was actually performed (in this example, actually taking hold of a ball) .
Any problems with mir ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ror neurons may well result in problems with behavior. Much research suggests that people with social and behavioral problems have mirror neurons which are not fully functioning. However, it is not yet known exactly how these discoveries might help find treatments for social disorders.
Research into mi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rror neurons seems to provide us with ever more information concerning how humans behave and interact (互动) . Indeed, it may turn out to be the equivalent (相等物) for neuroscience of what Einstein’s theory of relativity was for physics. And the next time you feel the urge to cough in the cinema when someone else does—well, perhaps you’ll understand why.
1. Mirror neurons can explain　　　.　
A. why we cry when we are hurt
B. why we cough when we suffer from a cold
C. why we smile when we see someone else smile
D. why we yawn when we see someone else stay up late
2. The under ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )lined word“triggered”in the third paragraph probably means“　　　”.　
A. set off　　　　 B. cut off　　　　　C. built up　　　　 D. broken up
3. We can learn from the passage that mirror neurons　　　.　
A. relate to human behavior and interaction
B. control human physical actions and feelings
C. result in bad behavior and social disorders
D. determine our knowledge and language abilities
4. What is the passage mainly about
A. Ways to find mirror neurons.　　　 B. Problems of mirror neurons.
C. Existence of mirror neurons.　　　 D. Functions of mirror neurons.

【参考答案及解析】
1．think后加of / about 考查动词的用法。此处think不能直接带宾语，故改成think of的形式。
2．live改为living 考查分词作定语。此处living conditions生活条件。
3．Besides改为However 考查副词的用法。根据文意前面为优势后为劣势，故表转折用however。
4．noisy改为noise / noises 考查形容词和名词的用法区别。此处名词作with的宾语，故用noise。
5．正确 经分析本句正确。
6．come前加that ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )或come改为coming 考查句子结构的分析。本句的谓语动词是are，所以come需以分词作定语或作定语从句的谓语的形式出现。
7．crop改为crops 考查名词的单复数。根据语意应用复数形式。
8．it改为that 考查代词的用法。此处that用于比较句型，因其后有定语in the city。
9．protect改为protecting 考查介词的用法。因为pay attention to中的to是介词，故用动名词。
10．去掉第二个and考查句子结构的分析。本句前面是if引导的条件句，后面是主句，所以去掉and。2015贵阳市高考英语语法填空、短文改错、阅读类训练（7）及答案

Eating too much fa ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tty food, exercising too little and smoking can raise your future risk of heart disease. But there is another factor that can cause your heart problems more immediately: the air you breathe.
Previous studie ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s have linked high exposure (暴露) to environmental pollution to an increased risk of heart problems, but two analyses now show that poor air quality can lead to heart attack or stroke (中风) within as little as a few hours after exposure. In one review of the research, scientists found that people exposed to high levels of pollutants (污染物) were up to 5% more likely to suffer a heart attack within days of exposure than those with lower exposure. A separate study of stroke patients showed that even air that the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) considers to be of “moderate” (良好) quality and relatively safe for our health can raise the risk of stroke as much as 34% within 12 to 14 hours of exposure.
The authors of bo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )th studies stress that these risks are relatively small for healthy people and certainlymodest compared with other risk factors such as smoking and high blood pressure. However, it is important to be aware of these dangers because everyone is exposed to air pollution regardless of lifestyle choices. So stricter regulation by the EPA of pollutants may not only improve environmental air quality but could also become necessary to protect public health.
1. The text mainly discusses the relationship between　　　.　
A. heart problems and air quality　　　　B. heart problems and exercising
C. heart problems and smoking　　　　　D. heart problems and fatty food
2. The underlined word“modest”in Paragraph 3 most probably means　　　.　
A. relatively high　　B ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ). extremely low C. relatively low　　D. extremely high
3. What can we learn from the text
A. Eating fatty food has immediate effects on your heart.
B. The EPA conducted many studies on air quality.
C. Moderate air quality is more harmful than smoking.
D. Stricter regulations on pollutants should be made.
4. The author’s purpose of writing the text is most likely to　　　.　
A. inform　　　　B. persuade　　　 C. describe　　　D. entertain

阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
Medical drugs som ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )etimes cause more damage than they cure. One solution to this problem is to put the drugs inside a capsule, protecting them from the body—and the body from them—until they can be released at just the right spot. There are lots of ways to trigger (引发) this release，including changing temperature, acidity, and so on. But triggers can come with their own risks—burns, for example. Now, researchers in California have designed what could be a harmless trigger to date: shining near infrared light (NIR, 近红外线) on the drug in the capsule.
The idea of u ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )sing light to liberate the drug in the capsule isn't new. Researchers around the globe have developed polymers (聚合物) and other materials that begin to break down when they absorb either ultraviolet (UV, 紫外线) or visible light. But tissues also readily absorb UV and visible light, which means the drug release can be triggered only near the skin, where the light can reach the capsule. NIR light largely passes through tissues, so researchers have tried to use it as a trigger. But few compounds (化合物) absorb NIR well and go through chemical changes.
That changed last year when Adah Almutairi, a chemist at the University of California, San Diego, reported that she and her colleagues had designed a polymer that breaks down when it absorbs NIR light. Their polymer used a commercially available NIR absorbing group called o nitrobenzyl (ONB). When they catch the light, ONB groups fall off the polymer, leading to its breakdown. But ONB is only a so so NIR absorber, and it could be poisonous to cells when it separates from the polymer.
So Almutairi and her colleagues reported creating a new material for capsules that's even better. This one consists of a long chain of compounds called cresol groups linked in a polymer. Cresol contains reactive (易反应的) components that make it highly unstable in its polymeric form, a feature Almutairi and her colleagues use to their advantage. After polymerizing the cresols, they cap each reactive component with a light absorbing compound called Bhc. When the Bhcs absorb NIR light, the reactive groups are exposed and break the long polymer into two short chains. Shining additional light continues this breakdown, potentially releasing any drugs in the capsule. What's more, Almutairi says, Bhc is 10 times better at absorbing NIR than is ONB and is not poisonous to cells.
1. According to the passage, which of the following could be the best trigger
A. Temperature change. B. NIR light.
C. Acidity change. D. UV light.
2. Why is ONB unsatisfactory
A. It breaks down when it absorbs NIR light.
B. It falls off the polymer and triggers drug release.
C. It has not come onto the market up till now.
D. It is not effective enough and could be poisonous.
3. Which word can be ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) used to complete the following process of changes

A. protected B. formed
C. exposed D. combined
【要点综述】这是一篇科技文。怎样使用胶囊？如何让吃药更加安全、疗效更好？文章对此做了介绍。
1. B　信息理解题。根据第一段最后一句“Now, researchers in California have designed what could be a harmless trigger to date: shining near infrared light (NIR，近红外线) on the drug in the capsule.”可知答案。
2. D　推理判断题。根据第三段 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )最后两句“…ONB groups fall off the polymer, leading to its breakdown.”和“…and it could be poisonous to cells…”可知答案。
3. C　信息理解题。根据 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )最后一段第五句“When the Bhcs absorb NIR light, the reactive groups are exposed and break the long polymer into two short chains.”可知此处用exposed，即C项正确。

For those who are ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) tired of doing the laundry, Samsung has found an answer: a washing machine that can tell you when your laundry is done via a smartphone app (application) .
Strange though it may ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) seem—“my wife already does that”was a common response among attendees viewing the device when it was introduced at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) this week—Samsung is just one of many appliance makers racing to install (安装) a large number of internet- connected features in machines in an effort to make them“smart. ”
Last year, i ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t was a refrigerator that tweeted. This year, it’s Wi- Fi- enabled laundry machines and fridges that can tell you when your groceries are going bad.
The washers and drye ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rs, available starting in the spring, connect to any smartphone through a downloadable application. The phone can then be used as a remote control, so the machines can be turned on and off while their owner is at work or on the bus.
Samsung says it’s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) not just something new—the app connection actually has some practical uses.
“If you started t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )o dry clothes in the morning and forgot to take them out, you can go to your phone and restart your dryer for the time when you come home, so your clothes are refreshed and ready to go, ”said spokesperson Amy Schmidt.
The company also ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) says that with electricity rates (电价) varying depending on the time of day, more control over when the machines are used can help save money.
Perhaps, but what th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ey will probably really accomplish is what all good technologies do—enable laziness. Rather than getting up to check on whether the laundry is done, users will instead monitor it on their phones while watching TV.
1. What can be inferr ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ed from the common response of the attendees at the CES
A. The machine w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ill be a big success.　　　B. Their wives like doing the laundry.
C. The machine is unr ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )elated to their life.　　D. This kind of technology is familiar to them.
2. What can we learn about the new laundry machines
A. They can tell you when your clothes need washing.　　
B. They can be controlled with a smartphone.
C. They are difficult to operate.　　
D. They are sold at a low price.　　
3. We can conclude from Samsung’s statements that　　　.　
A. the app connect ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ion makes life easier　 B. it is better to dry clothes in the morning
C. smartphones can sho ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rten the drying time　 D. we should refresh clothes back at home
4. What is the main idea of the last paragraph
A. The laund ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ry should be frequently checked.　　　B. Lazy people like using such machines.
C. Good technolog ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ies also cause problems.　　　　D. Television may help do the laundry.

Strange, I hadn't been aware that giving such 13 things to one in need, could bring me such a lot of happiness.
As we drove back, I ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) could see the little girl in the mirror. All the gifts I had given in my life never 14 up a face so much. She was grasping the parcel, smiling to herself. The total event made us all very 15 . Our Christmas became more meaningful.

Scientists have found ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )what look like caves on Mars(火星), and say they could be protecting life from the planet’s terrible environment.
The first cave ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s discovered beyond the Earth appear as seven mysterious black dots on the pictures sent back by NASA’s Mars Odyssey orbiter. Each as large as a football field, they may be openings into natural caves below the Martian surface.
“If there is ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) life on Mars, there is a good chance you’d find it in caves,” said Jut Wynne, one of the researchers who noticed the features while working on a US Geological Survey Mars Cave Detection Program.
Jonathan Clark ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e, a geologist with the Mars Society of Australia, yesterday described the discovery as exciting.
One photo taken at ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) night by an infrared imager(红外线成像器) showed one hole to be unusually warm,suggesting hot air trapped during the day is flowing out.
“I said:‘Wow, that’ ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s a cave. ’” Dr. Clarke said excitedly. “People have been looking for these for a long time;now we have found them.”
He agreed such caves ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) would be perfect places to hunt for life escaping from the bitterly cold,radiation-soaked(充满辐射的),dry surface.
“Tiny drops ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )of water could collect inside,” he said. “If there are gases coming out, they could provide energy for a whole range of bacteria. A cave is also a protection from radiation; the surface of Mars is exposed to high levels of space radiation.
The caves probabl ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )y formed when tube-shaped lava flows(管状岩浆流) spread across the planet long ago. The outside of the tubes cooled,forming solid walls, while something hotter inside allowed the remaining lava to flow out, forming caves.”
1. What does the passage mainly talk about
A. How the caves were formed on Mars.
B. How scientists found these caves on Mars.
C. Caves on Mars may be full of hot air or a sign of life.
D. Scientists have completely recognized the surface of Mars.
2. We can learn from the passage that　　　.　
A. water has already been found on Mars
B. the scientists found all the caves at night
C. it is certain that there is life in these caves
D. the surface of Mars is bitterly cold,radiation-soaked and dry
3. According to the passage,Dr. Clarke was so excited because　　　.　
A. such caves could provide energy for life
B. they had finally found the caves on Mars
C. such caves would be perfect places to hunt for life
D. scientists had long been looking for these caves
4. Necessary ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )condition for life on Mars mentioned in the passage may include　　　.　
A. lava and energy B. water and radiation from space
C. gases and lava D. water and protection from radiation

阅读理解
阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
It's 5：00 in the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) morning when the alarm (闹钟) rings in my ears. I roll out of bed and walk blindly through the dark into the bathroom. I turn on the light and put on my glasses. The house is still as I walk downstairs while my husband and three kids sleep peacefully. Usually I go for a long run, but today I choose my favorite exercise DVD, Insanity. Sweat pours down my face and into my eyes. My heart races as I force my body to finish each movement. As I near the end of the exercise, I feel extremely tired, but a smile is on my face. It's not a smile because the DVD is over, but a smile of success from pushing my body to its extreme limit.
Some people enjoy shopping, smoking, food, work, or even chocolate. But I need exercise to get through each day. Some shake heads when they see me run through the town. Others get hurt when I refuse to try just one bite of their grandmother's chocolate cake. They raise their eyebrows, surprised by my “no thank you，” or by my choice to have a salad. Over the years, I have learned it's okay to just say “no”. I shouldn't feel sorry for refusing food that I don't want to eat.
So what drives me ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )to roll out of bed at 5：00 a．m.？What gives me the reason to just say no to ice cream Commitment. A commitment to change my life with a way that reduces daily anxiety, increases self confidence and energy，extends life and above all improves my body shape.This is the point where a smile appears on my face as I look at myself in the mirror or try on my favorite pair of jeans that now fit just right.It's through commitment and sweat that I can make a difference within myself inside and out.
一个每天按时起床锻炼身体 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )的女人，一个有着自己个性与喜好的女人，为了保持自己的体型，降低压力，提高自信，坚持着这种日复一日的锻炼，让自己每天都挂着笑容面对生活。
1．Why is there a smile on the author's face in the morning
A．Because she sees her family sleeping peacefully.
B．Because she finishes her favorite exercise.
C．Because she enjoys the interesting DVD.
D．Because she feels a sense of achievement.
答案：D。细节判断题。根据 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )第一个段落的最后一句话， 先排除C的说法；在本句中“a smile of success of pushing…”可以断定其实是一种成就感令她脸上挂着笑容。最大的干扰项可能会是B，但如果细读，会找到关键词“success”。
2．Which of the following is TRUE according to Paragraph 2
A．She doesn't treat others politely.
B．She likes to make others surprised.
C．Others don't understand what she dose.
D．Others try to help her by offering her food.
答案：C。细节判断题。从本段的情 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )节来看，选项A，D都相差甚远；而“I need exercise to get through each day”正是表明了作者的喜好，而不是像选项B说的喜欢出奇，故排除B。从“raised their eyebrows, surprised by...”来看，其实别人是感到奇怪而已。
3．What does the unde ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rlined word “commitment” in the last paragraph mean
A．Good health. B．Firm belief.
C．A strong power. D．A regular habit.
答案：B。词意理解题。从全文的语境信息 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )来看，这么多年，这么坚持，这么享受，而且从“sweat”一词身上也能找到提示，即：坚定的信念与汗水，故选项B最符合语境。
4．What can we learn about the author from the text
A．She acts in a strange way.
B．She wants to look different from others.
C．She aims to develop a good body shape.
D．She has difficulty getting along with others.
答案：C。理解判断题。文章的 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )最后一段中有一句话“above all improves my body shape”，从这句话中可以确定选项C的说法是正确的。

阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
For five days，Edmonton's Downtown Park is transformed into one huge stage where artists are able to share their talents，and where people are able to celebrate and enjoy themselves.Since its beginning in 1980，the Edmonton Folk Music Festival has been commemorating (纪念) the true feeling of what folk music is all about and that's the traditional togetherness(友爱)that is felt when people gather to share stories and feelings through song.
This year will ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) be the sixth year when volunteer Riedel will be offering up her time to the festival.“People coming off a busy spring and summer have a moment of relaxation.”Riedel said.“It's really easy to relax，and it's great seeing family and friends have fun together.”These families and friends come from all different kinds of musical tastes.People who take pleasure in Blues are there，so are people who love Bluegrass.This festival does its best to develop everyone's musical interests.
With so many ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )years of experience，the festival has become a well oiled machine，and does whatever it can to make attendees feel as comfortable as possible.There are free water stations throughout the venue (举办地) for people to fill up their travel cups.When people buy food，reusable dishes are given a $2 plate fee，but that is returned when the plate is brought back.
The festival has compl ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )etely sold out of tickets, and in record time.But with big names such as Van Morrison and Jakob Dylan, it's easy to see how that was going to happen.There is no parking area during the festival, so using the Park & Ride system or Edmonton Transit is highly recommended.A bike lock up area is provided and will be available Thursday until Sunday one hour before the gates open until 45 minutes after the gates close.
The Edmonton Folk ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) Music Festival begins on Wednesday, Aug.4 with Van Morrison playing the special donation fund (基金)concert, and will finish up on Sunday, Aug.8.

答案：A。推理判断题。由第二段第 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )一句话“This year will be the sixth year when volunteer Riedel will be offering up her time to the festival”．可推知Riedel至少做志愿者五年了，故A项正确。
3．We can learn from the passage that______.

【参考答案及解析】
1．especial→especially 考查副词的用法。此处表强调用副词形式。
2．enrich→enriches考查主谓一致。因为reading作主语，故谓语动词用单数形式。
3．read→reading考查动名词的用法。此处through是介词，其后用动名词。
