阅读下面的短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中，选出最佳选项。
A
The American tradition of “trick-or-treating” probably dates back to the early All Souls' Day parades(游行) in England. During the festivities, poor citizens would beg for food and families would give them pastries called “soul cakes” in return for their promise to pray for the family's dead relatives.
The distribution of soul cakes was encouraged by the church as a way to replace the ancient practice of leaving food and wine for wandering spirits. The practice, which was referred to as “going-asouling” was eventually taken up by children who would visit the houses in their neighborhood and be given apples, food, and money.

答案：A 细节理解题。由第一段最后“pray for the family's dead relatives. ”可知。
38．What is “going-asouling” originally intended for?
A．Children. B．The church.
C．The poor. D．The ghosts.
答案：D 猜测词义题。由第二段“for wandering spirits.”可推知，指代的是鬼。

A．make friends with their dead relatives
B．attract their dead relatives back home
C．make the wandering spirits pleased
D．keep out spirits for their own safety

(2014·哈六中高一期末)
A Southampton University team found that people who were vegetarians by 30 had recorded five IQ points higher on average at the age of 10. Researchers said it could explain why people with a higher IQ were healthier as a vegetarian diet was linked to lower heart disease and obesity rates. The study of 8,179 people was reported in the British Medical Journal.
Twenty years after the IQ tests were carried out in 1970, 366 of the participants said they were vegetarians-although more than 100 reported eating either fish or chicken.
Men who were vegetarians had an IQ score of 106, compared with 101 for non-vegetarians; while female vegetarians averaged 104, compared with 99 for non-vegetarians. There was no difference in the IQ scores, between strict vegetarians and those who said they were vegetarians but reported eating fish or chicken.Researchers said the findings were partly related to better education and higher class, but it remained statistically significant after adjusting for these factors.
Vegetarians were more likely to be female, to be of higher social class and to have higher academic or vocational qualifications than non-vegetarians. However, these differences were not reflected in their annual income, which was similar to that of non-vegetarians.
Lead researcher Catharine Gale said, the findings that children with greater intelligence are more likely to report being vegetarians as adults, together with the evidence on the potential benefits of a vegetarian diet on heart health, may help to explain why a higher IQ in childhood or adolescence is linked with a reduced risk of coronary heart disease in adult life.
But Dr Frankie Phillips of the British Dietetic Association said，“It is like the chicken and egg. Do people become vegetarians because they have a very high IQ or is it just that they are clever enough to be more aware of health issues？”
40．What's the result of the research mentioned in the text?
A．Children with a higher IQ are less likely to have heart disease later in life.
B．Intelligent children tend to belong to higher social class later in life.
C．Intelligent children are more likely to become vegetarians later in life.
D．Children with a healthier heart tend to have a higher IQ later in life.
答案：C 细节理解题。 根据第一段中的“people who were vegetarians by 30 had recorded five IQ points higher on average at the age of 10”可知C项正确。根据“it could explain why...”可知这一结果可帮助解释A项中的现象，但B项并非这次研究的结果。故本题选C。
41．It was found in the research that ________.
A．most of the participants became vegetarians 20 years after the IQ tests were carried out.
B．vegetarians who ate fish or chicken were of similar intelligence with strict vegetarians.
C．female vegetarians were more likely to have higher annual income than non-vegetarians.
D．vegetarians were more likely to have higher annual income than non-vegetarians.
答案：B 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“There was no difference in the IQ scores between strict vegetarians and those who said they were vegetarians but reported eating fish or chicken”可知答案B。
42．Catharine Gale talked about “being vegetarians” in a(n) ________ way.
A．doubtful B．favorable
C．negative D．objective
答案：D 推理判断题。根据第五段可知Catharine Gale只是客观地讲述研究结果，并没有表示自己的立场。故选D项。
43．What's the best title for the text?
A．Get more IQ points!
B．Be a vegetarian, please!
C．A high IQ is linked to being a vegetarian
D．Vegetarian diet cuts heart risk
答案：C 标题概括题。本文介绍了一项研究结果：素食与高智商有关，故C项正确。作者并未提出建议，所以A、B两项错误；文章中虽然提到了心脏病，但不是文章的主旨，故D项错误。
C
It happened to me recently. I was telling someone how much I had enjoyed reading Barack Obama's Dreams From My Father and how it had changed my views of our President. A friend I was talking to agreed with me that it was, in his words, “a brilliantly(精彩地)written book”. However, he then went on to talk about Mr. Obama in a way which suggested he had no idea of his background at all.I sensed that I was talking to a book liar.
And it seems that my friend is not the only one. Approximately two thirds of people have lied about reading a book which they haven't. In the World Book Day's “Report on Guilty Secrets”， Dreams From My Father is at number 9.The report lists ten books, and various authors, which people have lied about reading，and as I'm not one to lie too often (I'd hate to be caught out ), I'll admit here and now that I haven't read the entire top ten.But I am pleased to say that, unlike 42 percent of people, I have read the book at number one，George Orwell's 1984.I think it's really brilliant.
The World Book Day report also has some other interesting information in it. It says that many people lie about having read Jane Austen, Charles Dickens, Fyodor Dostoevsky (I haven't read him, but haven't lied about it either) and Herman Melville.
Asked why they lied, the most common reason was to “impress” someone they were speaking to. This could be tricky if the conversation became more in-depth!
But when asked which authors they actually enjoy, people named J．K. Rowling, John Grisham, Sophie Kinsella (ah, the big sellers, in other words)．Forty-two percent of people asked admitted they turned to the back of the book to read the end before finishing the story (I'll come clean; I do this and am astonished that 58 percent said they had never done so)．
44．How did the author find his friend a book liar?
A．By judging his manner of speaking.
B．By looking into his background.
C．By mentioning a famous name.
D．By discussing the book itself.
答案：D 推理判断题。根据短文第一段最后两句话可知，他们继续谈论奥巴马的书时，对方根本不知道奥巴马的背景，故作者知道对方是在撒谎。由此可知D项正确。
45．Which of the following is a “guilty secret”according to the World Book Day report?
A．Charles Dickens is very low on the top-ten list.
B．42% of people pretended to have read 1984.
C．The author admitted having read 9 books.
D．Dreams From My Father is hardly read.
答案：B 推理判断题。根据短文第二段最后一句话可知，我不像那百分之四十二的人那样，撒谎说读过George Orwell的1984，我是真的读过。由此可知B项正确。
46．By lying about reading，a person hopes to ________.
A．control the conversation
B．appear knowledgeable
C．learn about the book
D．make more friends
答案：B 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段可知，他们撒谎的原因是给人们留下印象，由此可推断他们是想让人民知道他们知识渊博，故B项正确。
47．What is the author's attitude to 58%of readers?
A．Favorable. B．Uncaring.
C．Doubtful. D．Friendly.
答案：C 作者态度题。根据短文最后一段可知，他们说出的这些作者，都是畅销书作者，所以作者对这百分之五十二的人持怀疑态度。
D

Of all the planets, none has captured the world's imagination like Mars. Its reddish color and changes in brightness over time make the planet an unforgettable sight.
In Cosmos, the television science series from the 1980s, scientist Carl Sagan talked about some traditional ideas about Mars. Some of these ideas are from the English science fiction writer H. G. Well's The War of the Worlds. Others are from the mistaken science of Percival Lowell, the American astronomer who believed intelligent beings lived on Mars. Wells described Martians as threatening. Lowell imagined them as the hopeful engineers of great works. Carl Sagan said that both ideas influenced the public deeply.
Today, Mars continues to excite humans—not as the object of science fiction but of scientific study. Space scientists have collected a wealth of information from spacecrafts that have orbited, landed on and dug into the Martian surface.
The Smithsonian's Mars Day offered a chance for people of all ages to touch Mars, or at least a piece of it. Allison and Alycia from Silver Spring, Maryland, brought their children, Grace, Sam, Ryan and Emma. They heard about Mars and its geology from experts. They could see a test version of the Viking landers that reached Mars in July of 1976. They also saw meteorites (陨星) known to have come from the red, or reddish planet. Eight-year-old Sam learned that the ancient description of Mars as red is not exactly right. He said, “It's actually orangish more than red and it's also kind of brown.” Emma is six. She learned about the volcanic activity that has shaped the surface of Mars. She said, “The closest thing to Mars—the stuff—is from volcanoes mostly.”
Mars Day offered Allison and Alycia's children a chance to learn more about a world that they are very likely to set foot on within their lifetimes.
51．What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?
A．Why Martians were considered threatening.
B．Why Mars has captured the world's imagination.
C．What people generally thought of Mars in the past.
D．How H. G. Wells got the idea for his science fiction.
答案：C 主旨大意题。通读第二段，可知主要是讲人们关于火星的一些传统认识，故选C。
52．It is implied in Paragraph 3 that ________.
A．today's space scientists still know nothing about Mars
B．today's space scientists are very interested in Mars
C．science fiction films are no longer set in Mars
D．space scientists haven't made any progress in knowing Mars
答案：B 推理判断题。根据第三段的“Today, Mars continues to excite humans—not as the object of science fiction but of scientific study.”以及后一句“Space scientists have collected a wealth of information...”可推断现在的航天科学家们对火星很感兴趣。
54．What is the writer's attitude toward the idea that humans will set foot on Mars?
A．He thinks it may happen in this year.
B．He thinks il will always remain a dream.
C．He thinks it will come true within hundreds of years.
D．He thinks it may happen in the following decades.
答案：D 推理判断题。根据末段的“a world that they are very likely to set foot on within their lifetimes”可知作者认为人类在接下来的几十年内就有可能登上火星。
55．The Smithsonian's Mars Day might NOT offer people a chance to ________.
A．learn about the surface of Mars
B．see a test version of some Viking landers
C．see meteorites known to have come from Mars
D．sit in a spacecraft to experience the life of an astronaut
答案：D 细节理解题。通读全文，可知作者并没有提到在火星日，前往参观的人可以坐在宇宙飞船里体验宇航员的生活，故选D。

The Mid-Autumn Festival
The Mid-Autumn Festival falls on the 15th of the eighth month of our Chinese lunar calendar. As one of the traditional Chinese festivals, it has been enjoying great popularity in our country. Usually, no matter how far away or how busy we are, we will try to come home for the celebration. The moon that night looks the brightest in the whole lunar month. What we love most is the time we enjoy the full moon together. With the beautiful moon up in the sky, we sit together and eat moon cakes and fruits, sharing our stories. In addition to these traditional activities, we have a wider range of choices such as travelling and visiting our relatives or friends.

阅读下面的短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中，选出最佳选项。
A
The American tradition of “trick-or-treating” probably dates back to the early All Souls' Day parades(游行) in England. During the festivities, poor citizens would beg for food and families would give them pastries called “soul cakes” in return for their promise to pray for the family's dead relatives.
The distribution of soul cakes was encouraged by the church as a way to replace the ancient practice of leaving food and wine for wandering spirits. The practice, which was referred to as “going-asouling” was eventually taken up by children who would visit the houses in their neighborhood and be given apples, food, and money.

A．make friends with their dead relatives
B．attract their dead relatives back home
C．make the wandering spirits pleased

(2014·哈六中高一期末)
A Southampton University team found that people who were vegetarians by 30 had recorded five IQ points higher on average at the age of 10. Researchers said it could explain why people with a higher IQ were healthier as a vegetarian diet was linked to lower heart disease and obesity rates. The study of 8,179 people was reported in the British Medical Journal.
Twenty years after the IQ tests were carried out in 1970, 366 of the participants said they were vegetarians-although more than 100 reported eating either fish or chicken.
Men who were vegetarians had an IQ score of 106, compared with 101 for non-vegetarians; while female vegetarians averaged 104, compared with 99 for non-vegetarians. There was no difference in the IQ scores, between strict vegetarians and those who said they were vegetarians but reported eating fish or chicken.Researchers said the findings were partly related to better education and higher class, but it remained statistically significant after adjusting for these factors.
Vegetarians were more likely to be female, to be of higher social class and to have higher academic or vocational qualifications than non-vegetarians. However, these differences were not reflected in their annual income, which was similar to that of non-vegetarians.
Lead researcher Catharine Gale said, the findings that children with greater intelligence are more likely to report being vegetarians as adults, together with the evidence on the potential benefits of a vegetarian diet on heart health, may help to explain why a higher IQ in childhood or adolescence is linked with a reduced risk of coronary heart disease in adult life.
But Dr Frankie Phillips of the British Dietetic Association said，“It is like the chicken and egg. Do people become vegetarians because they have a very high IQ or is it just that they are clever enough to be more aware of health issues？”
40．What's the result of the research mentioned in the text?
A．Children with a higher IQ are less likely to have heart disease later in life.
B．Intelligent children tend to belong to higher social class later in life.
C．Intelligent children are more likely to become vegetarians later in life.
D．Children with a healthier heart tend to have a higher IQ later in life.
答案：C 细节理解题。 根据第一段中的“people who were vegetarians by 30 had recorded five IQ points higher on average at the age of 10”可知C项正确。根据“it could explain why...”可知这一结果可帮助解释A项中的现象，但B项并非这次研究的结果。故本题选C。
41．It was found in the research that ________.
A．most of the participants became vegetarians 20 years after the IQ tests were carried out.
B．vegetarians who ate fish or chicken were of similar intelligence with strict vegetarians.
C．female vegetarians were more likely to have higher annual income than non-vegetarians.
D．vegetarians were more likely to have higher annual income than non-vegetarians.
答案：B 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“There was no difference in the IQ scores between strict vegetarians and those who said they were vegetarians but reported eating fish or chicken”可知答案B。
42．Catharine Gale talked about “being vegetarians” in a(n) ________ way.
A．doubtful B．favorable
C．negative D．objective
答案：D 推理判断题。根据第五段可知Catharine Gale只是客观地讲述研究结果，并没有表示自己的立场。故选D项。
43．What's the best title for the text?
A．Get more IQ points!
B．Be a vegetarian, please!
C．A high IQ is linked to being a vegetarian
D．Vegetarian diet cuts heart risk
答案：C 标题概括题。本文介绍了一项研究结果：素食与高智商有关，故C项正确。作者并未提出建议，所以A、B两项错误；文章中虽然提到了心脏病，但不是文章的主旨，故D项错误。
C
It happened to me recently. I was telling someone how much I had enjoyed reading Barack Obama's Dreams From My Father and how it had changed my views of our President. A friend I was talking to agreed with me that it was, in his words, “a brilliantly(精彩地)written book”. However, he then went on to talk about Mr. Obama in a way which suggested he had no idea of his background at all.I sensed that I was talking to a book liar.
And it seems that my friend is not the only one. Approximately two thirds of people have lied about reading a book which they haven't. In the World Book Day's “Report on Guilty Secrets”， Dreams From My Father is at number 9.The report lists ten books, and various authors, which people have lied about reading，and as I'm not one to lie too often (I'd hate to be caught out ), I'll admit here and now that I haven't read the entire top ten.But I am pleased to say that, unlike 42 percent of people, I have read the book at number one，George Orwell's 1984.I think it's really brilliant.
The World Book Day report also has some other interesting information in it. It says that many people lie about having read Jane Austen, Charles Dickens, Fyodor Dostoevsky (I haven't read him, but haven't lied about it either) and Herman Melville.
Asked why they lied, the most common reason was to “impress” someone they were speaking to. This could be tricky if the conversation became more in-depth!
But when asked which authors they actually enjoy, people named J．K. Rowling, John Grisham, Sophie Kinsella (ah, the big sellers, in other words)．Forty-two percent of people asked admitted they turned to the back of the book to read the end before finishing the story (I'll come clean; I do this and am astonished that 58 percent said they had never done so)．
44．How did the author find his friend a book liar?
A．By judging his manner of speaking.
B．By looking into his background.
C．By mentioning a famous name.
D．By discussing the book itself.
答案：D 推理判断题。根据短文第一段最后两句话可知，他们继续谈论奥巴马的书时，对方根本不知道奥巴马的背景，故作者知道对方是在撒谎。由此可知D项正确。
45．Which of the following is a “guilty secret”according to the World Book Day report?
A．Charles Dickens is very low on the top-ten list.
B．42% of people pretended to have read 1984.
C．The author admitted having read 9 books.
D．Dreams From My Father is hardly read.
答案：B 推理判断题。根据短文第二段最后一句话可知，我不像那百分之四十二的人那样，撒谎说读过George Orwell的1984，我是真的读过。由此可知B项正确。
46．By lying about reading，a person hopes to ________.
A．control the conversation
B．appear knowledgeable
C．learn about the book
D．make more friends
答案：B 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段可知，他们撒谎的原因是给人们留下印象，由此可推断他们是想让人民知道他们知识渊博，故B项正确。
47．What is the author's attitude to 58%of readers?
A．Favorable. B．Uncaring.
C．Doubtful. D．Friendly.
答案：C 作者态度题。根据短文最后一段可知，他们说出的这些作者，都是畅销书作者，所以作者对这百分之五十二的人持怀疑态度。
D

Of all the planets, none has captured the world's imagination like Mars. Its reddish color and changes in brightness over time make the planet an unforgettable sight.
In Cosmos, the television science series from the 1980s, scientist Carl Sagan talked about some traditional ideas about Mars. Some of these ideas are from the English science fiction writer H. G. Well's The War of the Worlds. Others are from the mistaken science of Percival Lowell, the American astronomer who believed intelligent beings lived on Mars. Wells described Martians as threatening. Lowell imagined them as the hopeful engineers of great works. Carl Sagan said that both ideas influenced the public deeply.
Today, Mars continues to excite humans—not as the object of science fiction but of scientific study. Space scientists have collected a wealth of information from spacecrafts that have orbited, landed on and dug into the Martian surface.
The Smithsonian's Mars Day offered a chance for people of all ages to touch Mars, or at least a piece of it. Allison and Alycia from Silver Spring, Maryland, brought their children, Grace, Sam, Ryan and Emma. They heard about Mars and its geology from experts. They could see a test version of the Viking landers that reached Mars in July of 1976. They also saw meteorites (陨星) known to have come from the red, or reddish planet. Eight-year-old Sam learned that the ancient description of Mars as red is not exactly right. He said, “It's actually orangish more than red and it's also kind of brown.” Emma is six. She learned about the volcanic activity that has shaped the surface of Mars. She said, “The closest thing to Mars—the stuff—is from volcanoes mostly.”
Mars Day offered Allison and Alycia's children a chance to learn more about a world that they are very likely to set foot on within their lifetimes.
51．What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?
A．Why Martians were considered threatening.
B．Why Mars has captured the world's imagination.
C．What people generally thought of Mars in the past.
D．How H. G. Wells got the idea for his science fiction.
答案：C 主旨大意题。通读第二段，可知主要是讲人们关于火星的一些传统认识，故选C。
52．It is implied in Paragraph 3 that ________.
A．today's space scientists still know nothing about Mars
B．today's space scientists are very interested in Mars
C．science fiction films are no longer set in Mars
D．space scientists haven't made any progress in knowing Mars
答案：B 推理判断题。根据第三段的“Today, Mars continues to excite humans—not as the object of science fiction but of scientific study.”以及后一句“Space scientists have collected a wealth of information...”可推断现在的航天科学家们对火星很感兴趣。
54．What is the writer's attitude toward the idea that humans will set foot on Mars?
A．He thinks it may happen in this year.
B．He thinks il will always remain a dream.
C．He thinks it will come true within hundreds of years.
D．He thinks it may happen in the following decades.
答案：D 推理判断题。根据末段的“a world that they are very likely to set foot on within their lifetimes”可知作者认为人类在接下来的几十年内就有可能登上火星。
55．The Smithsonian's Mars Day might NOT offer people a chance to ________.
A．learn about the surface of Mars
B．see a test version of some Viking landers
C．see meteorites known to have come from Mars
D．sit in a spacecraft to experience the life of an astronaut
答案：D 细节理解题。通读全文，可知作者并没有提到在火星日，前往参观的人可以坐在宇宙飞船里体验宇航员的生活，故选D。

The Mid-Autumn Festival falls on the 15th of the eighth month of our Chinese lunar calendar. As one of the traditional Chinese festivals, it has been enjoying great popularity in our country. Usually, no matter how far away or how busy we are, we will try to come home for the celebration. The moon that night looks the brightest in the whole lunar month. What we love most is the time we enjoy the full moon together. With the beautiful moon up in the sky, we sit together and eat moon cakes and fruits, sharing our stories. In addition to these traditional activities, we have a wider range of choices such as travelling and visiting our relatives or friends.
