Vance collected more for benches at other schools, too. She also made a website page for others to follow her journey and make bottle cap donations(捐赠). She was surprised that her small project had had an influence on people around the world. She even received bottle caps from Germany and Australia. But she has no plans of stopping. She said in an interview that even adults(成年人)can use a buddy bench because people at any age can feel lonely.

【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文，介绍了四种不同寻常的对健康有好处的想法。
【41题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章Write by hand to help the brain be active.中“Although writing something using a computer is faster, it is much better to remember the whole thing by writing it down by hand. (虽然用电脑写东西更快，但用手写下来记住整个东西要好得多)”可知，如果想要记住一篇长文章，最好的方式是用手写下来。故选D项。
【42题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第三个小标题Spare more time for yourself.中“By sparing the time for yourself and just being alone for a while, you can have a chance to think and get to know yourself better. And you won’t behave impulsively.(给自己留点时间，独处一会儿，你就有机会思考，更好地了解自己。你也不会冲动行事)”可知，第三个观点是关于“独处的好处”的。故选A项。
【43题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章Drink hot drinks on a hot day.中“The study shows that the hot water does make people feel cooler. When you are drinking something hot, the body will feel the change in temperature and increase the perspiration, which helps you cool down!(研究表明，热水确实能让人感觉凉爽。当你喝热的东西时，身体会感觉到温度的变化，并增加出汗，这有助于你降温)”可知，我们在炎热的天喝热水是因为热水能，让我们出汗，带走我们身体中的热量，有助于身体降温。故选D项。
【44题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“People are always trying to live a healthy life. You might have read so much on this topic. The following ideas may sound strange, but they can really help you.(人们总是试图过上健康的生活。你可能已经读了很多关于这个话题的文章。下面这些想法听起来可能很奇怪，但它们确实可以帮助你)”及下文的观点可知，本文介绍了几种不同寻常的对健康有益的想法，作者想要告诉我们，有时候，关于健康的不同寻常的想法是有益的。故选B项。
D
Sometimes I really doubt whether there is love between my parents. They don’t act in the romantic ways that I read in books or I see on TV. In their opinion, “I love you” is too luxurious (奢侈的) for them to say. Sending flowers to each other on Valentine’s Day is even more out of the question. And my father has a bad temper (脾气).
One day, my mother was sewing a quilt (被子). I silently sat down beside her and looked at her.
“Is there love between you and Dad ” I asked her in a very low voice.
My mother stopped her work and raised her head with surprise in her eyes. She didn’t answer immediately.
I was very worried because I thought I had hurt her. But at last I heard my mother say the following words.
“Lily,” she said, “look at this thread (线). Sometimes it appears, but most of it disappears in the quilt. The thread really makes the quilt strong and durable (耐用的). If life is a quilt, then love should be a thread. It can hardly be seen anywhere or anytime, but it’s really there. Love is inside.”
I listened carefully but I couldn’t understand her until the next spring. At that time, my father suddenly got sick seriously. My mother had to stay with him in the hospital for a month. When they returned from the hospital, they both looked very pale.
After they were back, every day in the morning and dusk (黄昏), my mother helped my father walk slowly on the country road. My father had never been so gentle. It seemed that it was their most harmonious (和谐的) period. The sun gently glistened (闪耀) among the leaves. All of these made up the most beautiful picture in the world.
The doctor had said my father would recover (恢复) in two months. But after two months he still couldn’t walk by himself. All of us were worried about him.
“Dad, how are you feeling now ” I asked him one day.
“Lily, don’t worry about me,” he said gently. “To tell you the truth, I just like walking with your mum.” Reading his eyes, I know he loves my mother deeply.
Once I thought love meant flowers, gifts and sweet kisses. But from this experience, I understand that love is just a thread in the quilt of our life. Love is inside, making life strong and warm.
45. Why does Lily sometimes doubt that there is no real love between her parents
A. Because they are very busy earning money.
B. Because they don’t have enough money for love.
C. Because her father is easy to lose his temper to her mother.
D. Because she doesn’t see the thread in the quilt.
46. Which of the following is similar to the underlined phrase “out of the question” in Paragraph 1
A. Possible. B. Impossible. C. Necessary. D. Unnecessary.
47. What made her father change so greatly
A. The quilt story from her mother. B. One-month stay in the hospital.
C. The beautiful scenery of the country road. D. The sickness her father suddenly got.
48. What’s the main idea of the passage
A. We should understand our parents however old they are.
B. Love is hidden in the life, but it really influences our life.
C. We really need love because it makes our life harmonious.
D. Love is so important to everyone that we must love everyone.
【答案】45. C 46. B 47. D 48. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章通过一个温情的故事描述了父母之间的爱。母亲把爱比喻成缝被子的线，时隐时现，并不是一直表现在外。文章告诉我们真正的爱是相濡以沫，平平淡淡。
【45题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段尤其是最后一句“And my father has a bad temper (脾气). (而且我的父亲脾气很坏。)”可知，作者的父亲和母亲之间没有浪漫可言，并且父亲的脾气不好，所以作者有时会怀疑自己的父母之间不存在爱情。故选C。
【46题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词前句“In their opinion, “I love you” is too luxurious (奢侈的) for them to say.(在他们看来，“我爱你”对他们来说太奢侈了。)”可知，作者怀疑父亲和母亲之间没有爱情，连说一句“我爱你”都是一件相当奢侈的事，那在情人节给彼此送花就更加不可能了。由此可推知，“out of the question”与“impossible”同义，表示“不可能”。故选B。
【47题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段““Lily, don’t worry about me,” he said gently. “To tell you the truth, I just like walking with your mum.” Reading his eyes, I know he loves my mother deeply. (“莉莉，别为我担心。”他温柔地说。“说实话，我只是喜欢和你妈妈一起散步。”从他的眼神中，我知道他深深地爱着我的妈妈。)”及全文可知，父亲的转变是在突然患了一场重病之后才有的。故选D。
【48题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章通过一个温情的故事描述了父母之间的爱。母亲把爱比喻成缝被子的线，时隐时现，并不是一直表现在外。文章告诉我们真正的爱是相濡以沫，平平淡淡，由此可知，爱虽藏于生活之中，但真实地影响着我们的生活。故选B。
E
Is it shi(是) or si(斯) in the sentence “Thus when Heaven is about to confer a great office on any man(故天将降大任于是/斯人也)…” Not long ago, people had a heated discussion online about this. Most people “clearly remember” that it’s si, while their childhood textbooks say it’s shi.
It shows how unreliable(不可靠的) our memory can be. According to US psychologist Faith Brynie, memories can be influenced by imagination, belief and time. Many studies have proven that “feeling certain” about a memory sometimes has nothing to do with the facts.
Attitudes and beliefs change our memory.
Scientists at Cornell University, US, told college students a story about a man who walked out without paying a restaurant bill. The first group was told that the man “liked to steal”. The second group was told that he left because he got an emergency(紧急的) phone call.
One week later the first group remembered a higher bill-10 to 25 percent more than the bill actually was. The second group remembered a lower bill. The study showed that how we expect or believe things to happen can distort(扭曲) our memories.
Remembering things that never happened
In another experiment(实验), people watched a film and were asked: “How fast was the white car going when it passed the barn(谷仓) while traveling along the country road ”Actually there was no barn in the film. But about 20 percent of the students said they had seen the barn. Northwestern University scientist Kenneth Paller said that parts of the brain for really seeing an object and imagining an object overlap(重叠). So imagination after getting a hint(暗示) could leave a memory trace(痕迹) in the brain.
Si or shi
In the case of si or shi, some people said that si sounds more like ancient Chinese. That’s why most people relate it to the ancient classic. On the Internet, the version(版本) of si is also more widespread than shi, giving people a wrong hint.
49. In the first experiment, the first group remembered a higher bill because ________.
A. the students forgot the bill completely.
B. the students thought the man was rich enough.
C. the scientists made the students believe the man was bad.
D. the scientists told the students that the man should pay more.
50. What does the underlined word “hint” in the second experiment refer to
A. The sights in the film. B. Kenneth Paller’s words.
C. The word “barn” in the question. D. A real barn in students’ memories.
51. What can we learn from the case of si or shi
A. Feelings can decide people’s memories. B. The version of shi is more widespread.
C. People’s memories are always unreliable. D. There was no sound of shi in ancient Chinese.
52. Which of the following is the best title for the passage
A. Are you really sure B. Have you forgotten yet
C. What should be remembered D. How is the memory improved
【答案】49. C 50. C 51. A 52. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章通过网络热议话题“是还是斯”说明我们的记忆会受到想象、信念和时间的影响，并通过两个实验说明这一点。
【49题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“The first group was told that the man “liked to steal”.(第一组被告知该男子“喜欢偷窃”。)”可知，在第一个实验中，第一组记住了更高的账单是因为，科学家让学生们相信这个人是坏人。故选C项。
【50题详解】
词句猜测题。划线词句前文“In another experiment(实验), people watched a film and were asked: “How fast was the white car going when it passed the barn(谷仓) while traveling along the country road ” Actually there was no barn in the film. But about 20 percent of the students said they had seen the barn. Northwestern University scientist Kenneth Paller said that parts of the brain for really seeing an object and imagining an object overlap(重叠).(在另一个实验中，人们观看了一部电影，并被问到:“当白色汽车在乡村公路上行驶时经过谷仓时，它的速度有多快 ”其实电影里根本没有谷仓。但大约20%的学生说他们见过谷仓。西北大学的科学家Kenneth Paller说，大脑中真正看到一个物体和想象一个物体的部分是重叠的。)”从而推知划线词句“So imagination after getting a hint(暗示) could leave a memory trace(痕迹) in the brain.(因此，得到暗示后的想象可以在大脑中留下记忆痕迹。)”中划线单词应为问题中的“谷仓”一词”的意思。故选C项。
【51题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“In the case of si or shi, some people said that si sounds more like ancient Chinese. That’s why most people relate it to the ancient classic.(关于si或shi，有些人说si听起来更像古代汉语。这就是为什么大多数人把它与古代经典联系在一起的原因。)”可知，我们能从si或shi的例子中学到，情感决定了人们的记忆。故选A项。
【52题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段中“Not long ago, people had a heated discussion online about this. Most people “clearly remember” that it’s si, while their childhood textbooks say it’s shi.(不久前，人们在网上对此进行了激烈的讨论。大多数人“清楚地记得”是si，而他们童年的课本上说是shi。)”和第二段中“According to US psychologist Faith Brynie, memories can be influenced by imagination, belief and time. Many studies have proven that “feeling certain” about a memory sometimes has nothing to do with the facts.(根据美国心理学家Faith Brynie的说法，记忆会受到想象、信念和时间的影响。许多研究已经证明，对记忆的“确定感”有时与事实无关。)”以及全文可知，本文通过网络热议话题“是还是斯”说明我们的记忆会受到想象、信念和时间的影响，并通过两个实验说明这一点。A项“你真的确定吗？”符合题意，为最佳标题。故选A项。
B)请先阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后根据短文内容从下面方框内的七个选项中选择五个还原到文中，使短文意思通顺，结构完整，并在答题卡上将其序号涂黑。一空一句。
Sleep is always a theme we love to talk about. It is necessary for our bodies to be full of energy and minds to become fresh.
We hear all the time about needing to sleep for eight hours but that’s actually for an adult! ____53____ It means that a baby is the person who is going to need the most sleep.
When you think about it, babies seem to sleep a lot. That’s because of all the wonderful things their bodies are doing while they are growing up. They are getting bigger, learning new things and their bodies need time to slow down. As we grow up, these things don’t stop but our bodies get used to the work. ____54____
A person in primary school might still need up to 12 hours of sleep a night! That sounds a lot, but think of all the wonderful things you do in a day and how hard it is sometimes to pay attention. ____55____
Also just a fun fact, did you know what animal needs the most sleep A koala! ____56____ That’s because they don’t eat as many delicious foods like us and they get a little sleepy.
____57____ Only in this way can our bodies rest to be ready for another big day.
A. They can sleep up to 22 hours in the day.
B. The younger a person is, the more sleep he needs.
C. We need to close our eyes to stop some of the light.
D. So we need less sleep than we did when we were young.
E. It would also be difficult for the brain to go into a deep sleep.
F. You might have no energy for sports when you haven’t had enough sleep.
G. That’s why it’s so important to have a good diet and get enough sleep.
【答案】53. B 54. D 55. F 56. A 57. G
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文，介绍了睡眠的重要性。
【53题详解】
根据空前“We hear all the time about needing to sleep for eight hours but that’s actually for an adult!(我们总是听到需要睡8个小时，但这实际上是针对成年人的)”可知，此处在讲睡眠时间，成年人需要睡8个小时，空后“It means that a baby is the person who is going to need the most sleep.(这意味着婴儿是最需要睡眠的人)”表明婴儿需要睡眠的时间是最长的，空处应表明年龄与睡眠时长的关系；B选项“The younger a person is, the more sleep he needs.(一个人越年轻，他需要的睡眠就越多)”与后文语境一致。故选B。
【54题详解】
空前“When you think about it, babies seem to sleep a lot. That’s because of all the wonderful things their bodies are doing while they are growing up. They are getting bigger, learning new things and their bodies need time to slow down. As we grow up, these things don’t stop but our bodies get used to the work.(仔细想想，婴儿似乎睡得很多。这是因为他们的身体在成长过程中所做的所有奇妙的事情。他们正在长大，学习新的东西，他们的身体需要时间来放慢速度。随着我们长大，这些事情并没有停止，但我们的身体习惯了这些工作)”指出我们长大的同时，我们的身体习惯了工作，由此推知我们不像婴儿一样有如此多的睡眠；D选项“So we need less sleep than we did when we were young.(所以我们需要的睡眠比年轻时少了)”符合此处逻辑。故选D。
【55题详解】
空前“That sounds a lot, but think of all the wonderful things you do in a day and how hard it is sometimes to pay attention.(这听起来很多，但想想你一天中做的所有美好的事情，有时要集中注意力是多么困难)”可知，上学的孩子一天需要做很多事情，注意力又必须很集中；F选项“You might have no energy for sports when you haven’t had enough sleep.(当你没有足够的睡眠时，你可能没有精力去运动)”强调对于孩子们来说足够睡眠的重要性，符合语境。故选F。
【56题详解】
空前“Also just a fun fact, did you know what animal needs the most sleep A koala!(还有一个有趣的事实，你知道什么动物最需要睡眠吗？考拉)”指出动物中最需要睡眠的是考拉，由此推知空处陈述考拉需要多长时间的睡眠；A选项“They can sleep up to 22 hours in the day.(它们一天可以睡22个小时)”符合题意。故选A。
【57题详解】
空后“Only in this way can our bodies rest to be ready for another big day.(只有这样，我们的身体才能得到休息，为下一个重要的日子做好准备)”指出我们应该得到足够的睡眠；结合上文介绍小学生和考拉需要更多睡眠的原因可知，空处为总结性的语言，G选项“That’s why it’s so important to have a good diet and get enough sleep.(这就是为什么良好的饮食和充足的睡眠是如此重要)”符合语境。故选G。

When she was just 8, Sammie Vance thought about a question. What breaks your heart “For me, it’s seeing people who need a friend,” the seventh grader from Indiana, US. told People magazine. “I’ve been lonely myself, I don’t want others to feel that way.”
Soon after a summer camp. Vance learned about buddy benches(伙伴长椅). These benches are seats at a school playground. A lonely child can sit on it, which shows that he or she is in need of a friend.
She loved this idea. “This would be really cool.” Vance said. Then she got into action at once. She collected 725 kgs of bottle caps and found a factory to turn the caps into benches for her school. According to Vance, these benches cost much less than common park benches and are good for the environment.
Vance collected more for benches at other schools, too. She also made a website page for others to follow her journey and make bottle cap donations(捐赠). She was surprised that her small project had had an influence on people around the world. She even received bottle caps from Germany and Australia. But she has no plans of stopping. She said in an interview that even adults(成年人)can use a buddy bench because people at any age can feel lonely.
“I just look forward to making a difference.” she said, “and inspiring(激励)other people to make a difference.”
38. What makes Sammie Vance sad
A. Seeing homeless people. B. Seeing hungry people.
C. Seeing lonely people. D. Seeing lying animals.

People are always trying to live a healthy life. You might have read so much on this topic. The following ideas may sound strange, but they can really help you.
Exercise when you are tired.
After a long and tiring day of study, exercising might not sound like a good idea, but it should. In fact, physical activities can provide you with the missing energy. Research shows that exercising for just 30 minutes can make you feel good!

D
Sometimes I really doubt whether there is love between my parents. They don’t act in the romantic ways that I read in books or I see on TV. In their opinion, “I love you” is too luxurious (奢侈的) for them to say. Sending flowers to each other on Valentine’s Day is even more out of the question. And my father has a bad temper (脾气).
One day, my mother was sewing a quilt (被子). I silently sat down beside her and looked at her.
“Is there love between you and Dad ” I asked her in a very low voice.
My mother stopped her work and raised her head with surprise in her eyes. She didn’t answer immediately.
I was very worried because I thought I had hurt her. But at last I heard my mother say the following words.
“Lily,” she said, “look at this thread (线). Sometimes it appears, but most of it disappears in the quilt. The thread really makes the quilt strong and durable (耐用的). If life is a quilt, then love should be a thread. It can hardly be seen anywhere or anytime, but it’s really there. Love is inside.”
I listened carefully but I couldn’t understand her until the next spring. At that time, my father suddenly got sick seriously. My mother had to stay with him in the hospital for a month. When they returned from the hospital, they both looked very pale.
After they were back, every day in the morning and dusk (黄昏), my mother helped my father walk slowly on the country road. My father had never been so gentle. It seemed that it was their most harmonious (和谐) period. The sun gently glistened (闪耀) among the leaves. All of these made up the most beautiful picture in the world.
The doctor had said my father would recover (恢复) in two months. But after two months he still couldn’t walk by himself. All of us were worried about him.
“Dad, how are you feeling now ” I asked him one day.
“Lily, don’t worry about me,” he said gently. “To tell you the truth, I just like walking with your mum.” Reading his eyes, I know he loves my mother deeply.
Once I thought love meant flowers, gifts and sweet kisses. But from this experience, I understand that love is just a thread in the quilt of our life. Love is inside, making life strong and warm.
45. Why does Lily sometimes doubt that there is no real love between her parents
A. Because they are very busy earning money.
B. Because they don’t have enough money for love.
C. Because her father is easy to lose his temper to her mother.
D. Because she doesn’t see the thread in the quilt.
46. Which of the following is similar to the underlined phrase “out of the question” in Paragraph 1
A. Possible. B. Impossible. C. Necessary. D. Unnecessary.
47. What made her father change so greatly
A. The quilt story from her mother. B. One-month stay in the hospital.
C. The beautiful scenery of the country road. D. The sickness her father suddenly got.
48. What’s the main idea of the passage
A. We should understand our parents however old they are.
B. Love is hidden in the life, but it really influences our life.
C. We really need love because it makes our life harmonious.
D. Love is so important to everyone that we must love everyone.

Is it shi(是) or si(斯) in the sentence “Thus when Heaven is about to confer a great office on any man(故天将降大任于是/斯人也)…” Not long ago, people had a heated discussion online about this. Most people “clearly remember” that it’s si, while their childhood textbooks say it’s shi.
It shows how unreliable(不可靠的) our memory can be. According to US psychologist Faith Brynie, memories can be influenced by imagination, belief and time. Many studies have proven that “feeling certain” about a memory sometimes has nothing to do with the facts.
Attitudes and beliefs change our memory.
Scientists at Cornell University, US, told college students a story about a man who walked out without paying a restaurant bill. The first group was told that the man “liked to steal”. The second group was told that he left because he got an emergency(紧急) phone call.
One week later the first group remembered a higher bill-10 to 25 percent more than the bill actually was. The second group remembered a lower bill. The study showed that how we expect or believe things to happen can distort(扭曲) our memories.
Remembering things that never happened
In another experiment(实验), people watched a film and were asked: “How fast was the white car going when it passed the barn(谷仓) while traveling along the country road ”Actually there was no barn in the film. But about 20 percent of the students said they had seen the barn. Northwestern University scientist Kenneth Paller said that parts of the brain for really seeing an object and imagining an object overlap(重叠). So imagination after getting a hint(暗示) could leave a memory trace(痕迹) in the brain.
Si or shi
In the case of si or shi, some people said that si sounds more like ancient Chinese. That’s why most people relate it to the ancient classic. On the Internet, the version(版本) of si is also more widespread than shi, giving people a wrong hint.
49. In the first experiment, the first group remembered a higher bill because ________.
A. the students forgot the bill completely.
B. the students thought the man was rich enough.
C. the scientists made the students believe the man was bad.
D. the scientists told the students that the man should pay more.
50. What does the underlined word “hint” in the second experiment refer to
A. The sights in the film. B. Kenneth Paller’s words.
C. The word “barn” in the question. D. A real barn in students’ memories.
51. What can we learn from the case of si or shi
A. Feelings can decide people’s memories. B. The version of shi is more widespread.
C. People’s memories are always unreliable. D. There was no sound of shi in ancient Chinese.
52. Which of the following is the best title for the passage
A. Are you really sure B. Have you forgotten yet
C. What should be remembered D. How is the memory improved
