第二部分　阅读(共两节，满分50分)
第一节(共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Even doctors agree that laughing makes your body and mind feel better. It seems that the act of smiling or laughing sends chemical messages to the brain and affects a person's mood. Because they feel happier, they feel better. Stress is reduced and anger and tension begin to disappear. Your mind is at peace and so you feel happier and more able to cope with life's problems.
Laughing and smiling also have the same effect on the body. They improve the body's ability to stay fit and healthy because the person's immune system is activated. This means that any germs (病菌) in the body are attacked and killed by these immune system cells. Some doctors even think that skin conditions, such as skin rashes (疹) which may be due to psychological factors, will improve if the person has a good laugh every day. Serious people may not live as long as people who take life less seriously. When you laugh, your muscles “contract” (收缩) and relax. This is not the case with very serious people. So a sense of humour is important for a good and healthy life and to remain a fit and strong person you need to laugh and smile for at least ten minutes every day!
21．How can laughter make you feel less pain
A.By exercising your muscles. B．By improving your immune system.
C.By producing certain chemicals in your body. D．By producing new cells.
22．When you laugh, ________．
A.your muscles tighten and then relax B．you can't think well and react quickly
C.you can hardly breathe for a while D．your skin reacts more sensitively
23．What can we conclude from the passage
A.Laughter can help you live longer.
B.Funny movies can help you with better breathing.
C.Jokes and humour can make you more decisive.
D.People with a good sense of humour don't get heart disease.
B
Fairies today are the material of, children's stories, little magical people with wings, often shining with light. Typically pretty and female, like Tinkerbell in PeterPan, they usually use their magic to do small things and are mostly friendly to humans.
One explanation suggests the origin of fairies is a memory of real people. So, for example when tribes with metal weapons invaded land where people only used stone weapons, some of the people escaped and hid in forests and caves. Further support for this__idea is that fairies were thought to be afraid of iron and could not touch it. Living outside of society, the hiding people probably stole food and attacked villages. This might explain why fairies were often described as playing tricks on humans. Hundreds of years ago, people actually believed that fairies stole new babies and replaced them with a “changeling” — a fairy baby — or that they took new mothers and made them feed fairy babies with their milk.
While most people no longer believe in fairies, only a hundred years ago some people were very willing to think they might exist. In 1917, 16 year old Elsie Wright took two photos of her cousin, nine year old Frances Griffiths, sitting with fairies. Some photography experts thought they were not real, while others weren't sure. But Arthur Conan Doyle, the writer of the Sherlock Holmes detective stories, believed they were real. He published the original pictures, and three more that the girls took for him, in a magazine called TheStrand, in 1920. The girls only admitted the photos were not real years later in 1983, and that they created them using pictures of dancers that Elsie copied from a book.
24．What do the underlined words “this__idea” in Paragraph 2 refer to
A.Fairies used stone tools. B．Fairies used metal weapons.
C.Fairies are based on real people. D．Fairies are friendly to humans.
25．Why were fairies often described as playing tricks on humans
A.Fairies were afraid of iron and could not touch it.
B.Fairies stole new babies and replaced them with a fairy baby.
C.People who were defeated would escape and hide in the forests.
D.The hiding people would probably steal food and attack villages.
26．Who thought the photos taken in 1917 were real
A.Arthur Conan Doyle. B．Elsie Wright.
C.Most photography experts. D．Elsie Wright's cousin.
27．Which idea will the author most probably agree with
A.Whether fairies exist or not is uncertain.
B.There are still many people believing in fairies.
C.Children should not believe in fairies any longer.
D.The attitude people hold towards fairies has changed.
C
The bad health effects of sleep loss during the week can't be repaid by longer weekend sleep, according to a new study.
Researchers have long known that sleep deprivation (剥夺) can cause weight gain and increase other health risks. But for those who force themselves out of bed every weekday after too few hours of shut eye, they hope turning off the alarm on Saturday and Sunday will repay the weekly sleep debt and remove any ill effects.
The research, published in Current Biology, crushes those hopes. Despite complete freedom to sleep during a weekend recovery period, people in a sleep lab who were limited to five hours of sleep on weekdays gained nearly three pounds over two weeks and experienced disorders that would increase their risk for diabetes over the long term. While weekend recovery sleep had some benefits after a single week of sleep loss, those gains were wiped out when people fell right back into their same sleep deprived schedule the next Monday.
“If there are benefits of catch up sleep, they're gone when you go back to your daily schedule. It's very short lived，” said Kenneth Wright, director of the sleep and chronobiology (生物钟学) lab at the University of Colorado at boulder. “These health effects are long term. It's kind of like smoking once was — people would smoke and wouldn't see an immediate effect on their health, but people will say now that smoking is not a healthy lifestyle choice. I think sleep is in the early stage of where smoking used to be.”
Wright said that the study suggests people should put sleep in the first place — cutting out the “sleep stealers” such as watching television shows or spending time on their phones. Even though people don't have a choice about losing sleep because of child care responsibilities or job schedules, they should think about getting sleep in the same way they would get a healthy diet or exercise.
28．What do the researchers find about weekend recovery sleep
A.It is common among people. B．It will make people healthier.
C.It can make people put on weight. D．It's able to make up for the sleep loss.
29．What does the underlined word “crushes” mean
A.Arouses. B．Guarantees. C．Deepens. D．Ruins.
30．What will Kenneth Wright agree with
A.It takes long for people to see the effects of sleep loss.
B.Smoking and sleep loss have the same bad effects.
C.Weekend recovery sleep has many benefits.
D.Smoking is more harmful than sleep loss.
31．What does Kenneth Wright advise people to do
A.Sleep as long as possible during weekdays. B．Watch some TV shows before bedtime.
C.Reduce the screen time before sleep. D．Take regular exercise every day.
D
Why You Should Celebrate Your Mistakes
When you make a mistake, big or small, cherish (珍视) it like it's the most precious thing in the world, because in some ways, it is.
Most of us feel bad when we make mistakes, beat ourselves up about it, feel like failures, get mad at ourselves.
And that's only natural: most of us have been taught from a young age that mistakes are bad, and that we should try to avoid mistakes. We've been scolded when we make mistakes at home, school and work. Maybe not always, but probably enough times to make feeling bad about mistakes an unconscious reaction.
Yet without mistakes, we could not learn or grow. If you think about it that way, mistakes should be cherished and celebrated for being one of the most amazing things in the world: they make learning possible; they make growth and improvement possible.
By trial and error — trying things, making mistakes, and learning from those mistakes — we have figured out how to make electric light, to paint the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, to fly.
Mistakes make walking possible for the smallest toddler, make speech possible, and make works of genius possible.
Think about how we learn: we don't just consume information about something and instantly know it or know how to do it. You don't just read about painting, or writing, or computer programming, or baking, or playing the piano, and know how to do them right away. Instead, you get information about something, from reading or from another person or from observing usually...then you construct a model in your mind...then you test it out by trying it in the real world...then you make mistakes...then you revise the model based on the results of your real world experimentation and repeat, making mistakes, learning from those mistakes, until you've pretty much learned how to do something. That's how we learn as babies and toddlers, and how we learn as adults. Mistakes are how we learn to do something new, because if you succeed in something, it's probably something you already knew how to do. You haven't really grown much from that success — at most it's the last step on your journey, not the whole journey. Most of the journey was made up of mistakes, if it's a good journey.
So if you value learning, if you value growing and improving, then you should value mistakes. They are amazing things that make a world of brilliance possible.
32．Why do most of us feel bad about making mistakes
A．Because mistakes make us suffer a lot.
B．Because it's a natural part in our life.
C．Because we've been taught so from a young age.
D．Because mistakes have ruined many people's careers.
33．According to the passage, what is the right attitude to mistakes
A．We should try to avoid making mistakes.
B．We should owe great inventions mainly to mistakes.
C．We should treat mistakes as good chances to learn.
D．We should make feeling bad about mistakes an unconscious reaction.
34．The underlined word “toddler” in Paragraph 6 probably means ________．
A．a small child learning to walk B．a kindergarten child learning to draw
C．a primary school pupil learning to read D．a school teenager learning to write
35．We can learn from the passage that ________．
A．most of us can really grow from success
B．growing and improving are based on mistakes
C．we learn to make mistakes by trial and error
D．we read about something and know how to do it right away

A woman who had a stroke (中风) while on a FaceTime video call with her sister said the technology saved her life. Esmee Russell, head of the Stroke Association, said, “A stroke can happen to anyone, at any age, and at any time. That's why it's so important that people know how to act fast: it could save a life.” Strokes happen when the blood supply to part of the brain is cut off by a clot (凝块), or damaged by bleeding that causes brain cells in the affected area to die.
Opokua Kwapong, who lives alone in New York, was on a call with her sister, Adumea Sapong, in Manchester, when Mrs. Sapong noticed that her elder sister “didn't look right”. And she also noticed her sister's voice was indistinct (不清楚的). Ms. Kwapong said she had not realised how serious the situation was.
58 year old Kwapong had just woken from an afternoon sleep when Mrs. Sapong called her on FaceTime. Ms. Kwapong said, “My sister looked at me and said she could see that my face didn't look right. She also said that I was slurring my words, but I thought she was making a fuss (大惊小怪) and I didn't believe her.”
Mrs. Sapong said, “When I called Kwapong, she said that she'd not been feeling well but she had been feeling tired and had been also having some difficulty walking. I said, ‘Perhaps you need to take some medicine.’ She tried to pick up a glass of water but wasn't able to. Then I noticed on the FaceTime video call that her face was drooping. I told her she needed to hang up and immediately see a doctor. She thought I was making a fuss so I then called one of my other sisters, who is a doctor, and she could hear her speaking and could also tell that her speech was indistinct. We both told her to call for help at once.”
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；

Ms. Kwapong hung up and then dialed the number of the emergency services.

And now our weather report. Nice sunshine all day long today, soon becoming very warm, but there will be some relief from the heat with something of a breeze developing. Even so, the temperature will get up to 25 ℃ later today; it's already up to 19 ℃ now, at nine in the morning, and it'll go on rising. Very little cloud at any stage during the day, just a few clouds drifting around early in the afternoon, so we should end up the day with a good fourteen hours of sunshine going into the record books. That breeze is an easterly one that's going to keep the coastal areas a little bit cooler during the day but still quite pleasant. Over the night, clear, dry weather, still a little bit of the breeze and the temperature down to sixteen in central London and twelve or thirteen out of town.
第二部分
第一节
A
【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。笑会让人身体产生某些化学物质，从而影响情绪；笑还能激活免疫系统，使人更长寿。
21．答案与解析：C　细节理解题。根据第一段的前两句可知，笑能让你的身体产生某些化学物质，从而减轻疼痛。
22．答案与解析：A　细节理解题。根据第二段中的“When you laugh your muscles ‘contract’(收缩)and relax.”可知，当你笑的时候，肌肉会先收缩，然后再放松。
23．答案与解析：A　推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Serious people may not live as long as people who take life less seriously.”可知，不那么严肃的人更容易长寿，即笑可以让人更长寿。
B
【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文，文章向读者介绍了人们对于小精灵、小仙子的原型的看法以及现在人们对于童话故事的认知。
24．答案与解析：C　词义猜测题。文章第二段第一句是段落中心句，讲述了人们对于小仙子、小精灵的一种认知：一种解释是小仙子起源于人们对一些真实人物的记忆。由本段第二句中的for example可知，这句话是举例证明首句中心句。由第三句中的further support(进一步的支持点)可知，这句话还是进一步证明首句中心句的。所以this idea就是指代“小仙子是以真人为原型的”。
25．答案与解析：D　细节理解题。由第二段中的“Living outside of society, the hiding people probably stole food and attacked villages. This might explain why fairies were often described as playing tricks on humans.”可知，小仙子常常被描述为捉弄人类的形象是因为小仙子可能偷食物和袭击村庄。
26．答案与解析：A　细节理解题。由第三段中的“But Arthur Conan Doyle, the writer of the Sherlock Holmes detective stories, believed they were real.”可知，Arthur Conan Doyle相信Elsie Wright拍的那两张照片是真的。
27．答案与解析：D　推理判断题。由最后一段中的“While most people no longer believe in fairies, only a hundred years ago some people were very willing to think they might exist.”可推知，人们对于童话中小仙子的态度已经发生了变化。
C
【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文，介绍了周末补觉并不能弥补工作日缺失的睡眠。
28．答案与解析：C　细节理解题。根据第三段第二句“Despite complete freedom to sleep during a weekend recovery period, people in a sleep lab who were limited to five hours of sleep on weekdays gained nearly three pounds over two weeks and experienced disorders that would increase their risk for diabetes over the long term.”可知，平日睡眠少的人，体重可能会增加，并增加患糖尿病的风险。
29．答案与解析：D　词义猜测题。本题理解的关键在于搞清楚“those hopes”指代的是第二段中的“...they hope turning off the alarm on Saturday and Sunday will repay the weekly sleep debt and remove any ill effects.”根据本句可知，人们寄希望于通过周末补觉来弥补睡眠，然而这个研究却“打破了”人们的这种愿望。由此推测此处词义为“摧毁，打破”。
30．答案与解析：A　细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“These health effects are long term. It's kind of like smoking once was — people would smoke and wouldn’t see an immediate effect on their health, but people will say now that smoking is not a healthy lifestyle choice. I think sleep is in the early stage of where smoking used to be.”可知，人们对于睡眠缺失的了解现阶段还不深，就像是吸烟一样，得过上一段时间之后人们才会看到它的坏处。
31．答案与解析：C　细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“people should put sleep in the first place — cutting out the ‘sleep stealers’ such as watching television shows or spending time on their phones”可知，他建议人们缩减看电视或玩手机的时间来保证睡眠。
D
【语篇解读】　本文是一篇议论文，主要告诉我们，错误可以促进我们成长和进步。
32．答案与解析：C　细节理解题。根据第三段中的“And that's only natural: most of us have been taught from a young age that mistakes are bad, and that we should try to avoid mistakes.”可知，没人喜欢犯错，这是很正常的事。从很小的时候我们就被告知错误是不好的，所以我们都努力避免错误，C项正确。
33．答案与解析：C　推理判断题。第四段第二句“If you think about it that way, mistakes should be cherished and celebrated for being one of the most amazing things in the world: they make learning possible; they make growth and improvement possible.”说明我们要珍惜错误，因为错误是我们学习的好机会，故C正确。
34．答案与解析：A　词义猜测题。根据本段“Mistakes make walking possible for the smallest toddler, make speech possible, and make works of genius possible.”可知，错误可以让最小的toddler步行成为可能。什么样的人需要学习步行？只有孩子，所以该词指学习走路的孩子，故A正确。
35．答案与解析：B　推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中“So if you value learning, if you value growing and improving, then you should value mistakes.”可知，如果我们珍惜这样的学习，珍惜成长和提高的机会，那么我们就应该珍惜错误，因为我们的成长和提高是建立在错误的基础之上的。

An Interesting Story
Once a young man caused much trouble to the passengers around him when traveling on a coach.
At last he got off at a stop with his two heavy bags. No one helped him. When he was far away from the coach, one of the passengers opened the window and shouted at him, “You left something behind on the coach.” Then he closed the window.
The young man turned back to the coach with his two bags and asked what he left behind.
As the coach began to move again, the passenger said, “A very bad impression.”
Bad manners sometimes may get you into trouble.
