Math had never been something I was good at since middle school. Classes became harder in high school, and I was even further from a math teacher’s dream student. So at the start of my freshman year, I had a dislike to math. It wasn’t that I didn’t want to do well, but simply that I didn’t think I was able to do well. “I can’t” became my state of mind in all things related (有关的) to math.
However, I was soon to learn that “I can’t” was not a choice in Mr. A’s class.
Mr. A always greeted (迎接) us with open arms as he said, “Welcome! Smile! It’s a great day to be alive!” It was clear that Mr. A had a true passion (热情) not only for math but for teaching. If Mr. A ever experienced bad days in life, he never showed it. Mr. A greeted us with that same smile every day. He encouraged each student, from the top achiever to the “I can’t” student.
I found myself looking forward to math class although I still hated the subject itself. Being in Mr. A’s presence made me feel good, as if I had the chance to succeed. As the year progressed, I spent increasingly more time on my homework, and I met with Mr. A weekly. My classmates began to do the same, and it became “cool” to have lunch and a talk with Mr. A. We didn’t know it at the time, but he was changing our attitudes (态度).
Though my story is not one of overnight success and I didn’t become a straight-A math student, my hard work did begin to pay off and my grades slowly began to climb. There were hard times, of course. Difficult math questions sometimes succeeded in bringing me down, but Mr. A kept reminding (提醒) me, “Kate, smile! It’s a great day to be alive!”
4. What can we know about the author from Paragraph 1
A. He was the math teacher’s dream student.
B. He was satisfied with his current situation.
C. He did not believe his ability to learn math well.
D. He was good at math before high school.
5. Which of the following can best describe Mr. A
A. Responsible and honest. B. Optimistic and passionate.
C Enthusiastic and humorous. D. Creative and patient.
6. What change has the author made under Mr. A’s influence
A. He gradually improved his math grades. B. He never met any difficulties again.
C. He lived a more happier life than before. D. He fell in love with math.
7. What’s the main idea of this passage

【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“Math had never been something I was good at since middle school. Classes became harder in high school, and I was even further from a math teacher’s dream student.(从中学开始，我就不擅长数学。高中的课程越来越难，我离数学老师理想中的学生更远了。)”以及““I can’t” became my state of mind in all things related (有关的) to math.(“我不能”成为我在所有与数学有关的事情上的心态。)”可知，第一段中指出作者在与数学上有着“我不能”的心态即不相信自己有学好数学的能力。故选C。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“It was clear that Mr. A had a true passion (热情) not only for math but for teaching. If Mr. A ever experienced bad days in life, he never showed it. Mr. A greeted us with that same smile every day. He encouraged each student, from the top achiever to the “I can’t” student.( 很明显，A先生不仅对数学很有热情，而且对教学也很有热情。如果A先生在生活中经历过糟糕的日子，他从来没有表现出来。A先生每天都用同样的微笑迎接我们。他鼓励每一个学生，从成绩最好的学生到“我不能”的学生。)”可知，因为他不仅对数学很有热情，对教学也很有热情，同时面临糟糕的日子，他也总是会微笑面对。因此A先生是一个充满热情并且乐观积极的人。故选B。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Though my story is not one of overnight success and I didn’t become a straight-A math student, my hard work did begin to pay off and my grades slowly began to climb.(虽然我的故事不是一夜成名的，我也没有成为数学全优的学生，但我的努力确实开始得到回报，我的成绩开始慢慢攀升。)”可知，在A先生的影响下，作者的数学成绩慢慢得到了提升。故选A。

C
Nowadays, children spend less time in the fresh air. Many of them are addicted to a screen either on a computer or a TV—they seem to be living in a virtual world. They have lost touch with nature.
But now 400 organizations in the UK, from playgroups to the National Health Service, are encouraging children to have some “wild time”. They want kids to swap at least 30 minutes of watching TV or playing computer games for time playing outside. Activities such as building dens, climbing trees, rummaging for conkers and playing hide and seek are just some of the things kids can do. Even if they live in a city, they can go on adventures in the garden or the park.
Children often need a helping hand from mum and dad. They need to be shown what to do and where to go. Andy Simpson from National Health Service says, “We want parents to see what this magical wonder product does for their kids’ development, independence and creativity, by giving wild time a go.”
So despite the complicated world that young people grow up in now, it seems that going back to basics and experiencing “nature’s playground” is what modern children need. David Bond from Project Wild Thing says, “We need to make more space for wild time in children’s daily routine, freeing this generation of kids to have the sort of experiences that many of us took for granted.”
This might sound a bit old-fashioned to you or maybe, like me, it’s made you think about sticking on your boots, getting outdoors and reliving your childhood. There’s no age limit on enjoying yourself!
8. What makes children lose touch with nature
A. Playing hide and seek. B. Going on adventures in parks.
C. Building dens frequently. D. Being addicted to a screen.
9. In Andy Simpson’s opinion, who should be persuaded to see the effect of wild time
A. Teachers. B. Parents. C. Children. D. Experts.
10. What might David probably agree
A. What modern children need is spiritual satisfaction.
B. Children always take it for granted to play outside.
C. Children need more time to get close to nature.
D. Parents should make larger rooms for kids to study.
11. What can be inferred from this passage
A. People at any age can enjoy wild time. B. Watching TV is a good way to learn about nature.
C. Everyone lives in a high-pressure world. D. Adults all desire to go back to childhood.
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. C 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了英国有400多个组织呼吁孩子们花费一些时间在户外玩耍，孩子们需要家长的引导和支持，需要更多的时间与大自然接触，以促进他们的发展、独立性和创造力。作者呼吁人们回归到往日的童年时光，去探索大自然的乐趣。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Nowadays, children spend less time in the fresh air. Many of them are addicted to a screen either on a computer or a TV—they seem to be living in a virtual world. They have lost touch with nature.(如今，孩子们接触新鲜空气的时间越来越少了。他们中的许多人沉迷于电脑或电视屏幕——他们似乎生活在一个虚拟的世界里。他们与大自然失去了联系。)”可知，孩子们之所以接触自然的时间越来越少，是因为很多孩子沉迷于电脑或者电视屏幕。故选D。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Andy Simpson from National Health Service says, “We want parents to see what this magical wonder product does for their kids’ development, independence and creativity, by giving wild time a go.”(国家卫生服务机构的Andy Simpson说：“我们希望家长们尝试一下这种神奇的户外活动对孩子的发展、独立性和创造力能带来的好处。”)”可知，Andy Simpson呼吁父母能够看到神奇的户外活动对孩子的发展、独立性和创造力能带来的好处。故选B。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“David Bond from Project Wild Thing says, “We need to make more space for wild time in children’s daily routine, freeing this generation of kids to have the sort of experiences that many of us took for granted.”(来自“野性计划”的David Bond说：“我们需要在孩子们的日常生活中为狂野留出更多的空间，让这一代孩子有机会体验我们许多人认为理所当然的事情。”)”可知，David Bond认为孩子们需要更多的时间去亲近大自然。故选C。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“This might sound a bit old-fashioned to you or maybe, like me, it’s made you think about sticking on your boots, getting outdoors and reliving your childhood. There’s no age limit on enjoying yourself!(这对你来说可能听起来有点过时，或者像我一样，这让你想到穿上靴子，到户外去，重温童年。享受生活没有年龄限制！)”可知，到户外去，重温童年，享受生活没有年龄限制即任何年龄的人都可以享受狂野的时光。故选A。
D
There’s more evidence that what’s good for your heart is good for your head. A new study shows that people who run, swim or do other moderate intensity (中等强度) exercise have brains that look, on average, 10 years younger than the brains of couch potatoes.
“Our study showed that for older people, getting moderate intensity exercise may be protective, helping them keep their brains work better,” said Dr. Clinton Wright of the University of Miami, who led the study. But it’s not necessarily easy. Walking, golf, bowling and yoga don’t count, and people need to start before they begin showing memory loss, Wright’s team reported in the journal Neurology.
The study of nearly 900 people who exercise regularly showed that 90 percent fell into the low-intensity group. These people are part of a larger group taking part in a bigger study called Northern Manhattan Study. They were asked how long and how often they exercised during the past two weeks. Five years later, they were tested for memory and thinking skills and got a brain MRI (核磁共振). Seven years after that, they took the memory and thinking tests again. The 10 percent who said they took part in moderate intensity exercise scored better on the tests. These included running, climbing, swimming, riding bicycles and so on.
“We found that those with moderate intensity activity had higher scores and slower memory decline (下降) than inactive people when comparing the results,” the study team wrote.
Many studies have shown that exercise may not prevent Alzheimer’s disease but may delay it. The findings fit in with a study that found two years of exercising, eating healthier food and brain training can promote people’s memory function.
12. What does the underlined phrase refer to
A. People with a range of diseases.
B. People without health insurance.
C. People with high levels of intelligence.
D. People with no or irregular physical activity.
13. What can we know from the study
A. Moderate intensity exercise keeps your brain younger.
B. Low-intensity group scored higher grades on the tests.
C. Exercise can protect people from getting old and puzzled.
D. Moderate intensity exercise can prevent memory from losing.
14 Which of the following is included in moderate intensity sports
A. Bowling. B. Reading. C. Walking. D. Swimming.
15. Who might delay memory aging
A. Those whose family never suffer from any diseases.
B. Those who are good at many higher thinking skills.
C. Those who regular exercise and have a healthy diet.
D. Those who possess a high sense of responsibility.
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍的是一项新研究：进行适度强度的运动（如跑步、游泳等）的人的大脑平均看起来比长期不运动者年轻10岁。这项研究表明，对老年人来说，进行中等强度的运动有助于保护他们的大脑，帮助他们保持大脑的良好工作状态。
【12题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词前面的内容“A new study shows that people who run, swim or do other moderate intensity (中等强度) exercise have brains that look, on average, 10 years younger (一项新的研究表明，跑步、游泳或做其他中等强度运动的人的大脑看起来平均年轻10岁……)”可知，此处指出中等强度运动的人大脑看起来要更年轻，相比于那些不运动的人。由此可知，划线词与D选项“People with no or irregular physical activity.(没有或不规律运动的人)”意思接近，即中等强度运动的人大脑看起来比那些没有或不规律运动的人更年轻。故选D。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“ A new study shows that people who run, swim or do other moderate intensity (中等强度) exercise have brains that look, on average, 10 years younger than the brains of couch potatoes.(一项新的研究表明，跑步、游泳或做其他中等强度运动的人的大脑看起来比没有或不规律运动的人大脑平均年轻10岁)”可推知，研究发现中等强度的运动能让你的大脑保持年轻。故选A。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Walking, golf, bowling and yoga don’t count, and people need to start before they begin showing memory loss, Wright’s team reported in the journal Neurology.(赖特的研究小组在《神经学》杂志上报告说，散步、高尔夫球、保龄球和瑜伽不算在内，人们需要在开始出现记忆力减退之前开始锻炼)”可知，对于中等运动来说，散步、高尔夫球、保龄球和瑜伽不算在内。由此可知，D选项“Swimming(游泳)”应该归属于中等运动。故选D。
15题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“The findings fit in with a study that found two years of exercising, eating healthier food and brain training can promote people’s memory function.(这一发现与一项研究相吻合，该研究发现，两年的锻炼、健康饮食和大脑训练可以促进人们的记忆功能)”可知，那些经常锻炼和健康饮食的人可能会延缓记忆老化。故选C。

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
My teacher held up a piece of broken glass and asked, “Who broke this window ” Thirty boys tried to think about not only what they had done, but also what our teacher might have found out. She seldom became angry, but she was this time.
“Oh,” I thought. I was the one who broke the window. It was caused by a naughty throw of a baseball. If I admitted guilt, I would be in a lot of trouble. How would I be able to pay for a big window like that I didn’t even get an allowance (零花钱). “My father is going to have a temper,” I thought. I didn’t want to raise my hand, but some force much stronger than I was pulled it skyward. I told the truth, “I did it.” Then I was silent. It was hard enough saying what I had.
My teacher went to one of our bookshelves and took down a book on bird field guide. She then began walking towards my desk. I had never seen my teacher to strike a student, but I feared she was going to start with me.

【答案】 I was so afraid that I closed my eyes tightly. I almost couldn't breathe, waiting for the punishment to come. To my surprise, my teacher did not hit me. Instead, she placed the book in front of me and said, “This book is worth about the same as the window you broke. You will work off your debt by writing a report on five different birds found in your neighborhood. You will include their names, habitats, and behaviors.”
I was very moved. The teacher’s face was kind and understanding. She gave me a pen and a notebook, and I started the report right away. I did my best, and after a week, I handed in my completed work. She told me that I had a wonderful talent for observation, and she also forgave me for breaking the window, and said that I had learned a valuable lesson. I was very moved by my teacher’s kindness and wisdom, and I knew that I had a lot to learn from her.

Math had never been something I was good at since middle school. Classes became harder in high school, and I was even further from a math teacher’s dream student. So at the start of my freshman year, I had a dislike to math. It wasn’t that I didn’t want to do well, but simply that I didn’t think I was able to do well. “I can’t” became my state of mind in all things related (有关的) to math.
However, I was soon to learn that “I can’t” was not a choice in Mr. A’s class.
Mr. A always greeted (迎接) us with open arms as he said, “Welcome! Smile! It’s a great day to be alive!” It was clear that Mr. A had a true passion (热情) not only for math but for teaching. If Mr. A ever experienced bad days in life, he never showed it. Mr. A greeted us with that same smile every day. He encouraged each student, from the top achiever to the “I can’t” student.
I found myself looking forward to math class, although I still hated the subject itself. Being in Mr. A’s presence made me feel good, as if I had the chance to succeed. As the year progressed, I spent increasingly more time on my homework, and I met with Mr. A weekly. My classmates began to do the same, and it became “cool” to have lunch and a talk with Mr. A. We didn’t know it at the time, but he was changing our attitudes (态度).
Though my story is not one of overnight success and I didn’t become a straight-A math student, my hard work did begin to pay off and my grades slowly began to climb. There were hard times, of course. Difficult math questions sometimes succeeded in bringing me down, but Mr. A kept reminding (提醒) me, “Kate, smile! It’s a great day to be alive!”
4. What can we know about the author from Paragraph 1
A. He was the math teacher’s dream student.
B. He was satisfied with his current situation.
C. He did not believe his ability to learn math well.
D. He was good at math before high school.

A. He gradually improved his math grades. B. He never met any difficulties again.
C. He lived a more happier life than before. D. He fell in love with math.
7. What’s the main idea of this passage

Nowadays, children spend less time in the fresh air. Many of them are addicted to a screen either on a computer or a TV—they seem to be living in a virtual world. They have lost touch with nature.
But now 400 organizations in the UK, from playgroups to the National Health Service, are encouraging children to have some “wild time”. They want kids to swap at least 30 minutes of watching TV or playing computer games for time playing outside. Activities such as building dens, climbing trees, rummaging for conkers and playing hide and seek are just some of the things kids can do. Even if they live in a city, they can go on adventures in the garden or the park.
Children often need a helping hand from mum and dad. They need to be shown what to do and where to go. Andy Simpson from National Health Service says, “We want parents to see what this magical wonder product does for their kids’ development, independence and creativity, by giving wild time a go.”
So despite the complicated world that young people grow up in now, it seems that going back to basics and experiencing “nature’s playground” is what modern children need. David Bond from Project Wild Thing says, “We need to make more space for wild time in children’s daily routine, freeing this generation of kids to have the sort of experiences that many of us took for granted.”
This might sound a bit old-fashioned to you or maybe, like me, it’s made you think about sticking on your boots, getting outdoors and reliving your childhood. There’s no age limit on enjoying yourself!
8. What makes children lose touch with nature
A. Playing hide and seek. B. Going on adventures in parks.
C. Building dens frequently. D. Being addicted to a screen.
9. In Andy Simpson’s opinion, who should be persuaded to see the effect of wild time
A. Teachers. B. Parents. C. Children. D. Experts.
10. What might David probably agree
A. What modern children need is spiritual satisfaction.
B. Children always take it for granted to play outside.
C. Children need more time to get close to nature.
D. Parents should make larger rooms for kids to study.
11. What can be inferred from this passage
A. People at any age can enjoy wild time. B. Watching TV is a good way to learn about nature.
C. Everyone lives in a high-pressure world. D. Adults all desire to go back to childhood.
D
There’s more evidence that what’s good for your heart is good for your head. A new study shows that people who run, swim or do other moderate intensity (中等强度) exercise have brains that look, on average, 10 years younger than the brains of couch potatoes.
“Our study showed that for older people, getting moderate intensity exercise may be protective, helping them keep their brains work better,” said Dr. Clinton Wright of the University of Miami, who led the study. But it’s not necessarily easy. Walking, golf, bowling and yoga don’t count, and people need to start before they begin showing memory loss, Wright’s team reported in the journal Neurology.
The study of nearly 900 people who exercise regularly showed that 90 percent fell into the low-intensity group. These people are part of a larger group taking part in a bigger study called Northern Manhattan Study. They were asked how long and how often they exercised during the past two weeks. Five years later, they were tested for memory and thinking skills and got a brain MRI (核磁共振). Seven years after that, they took the memory and thinking tests again. The 10 percent who said they took part in moderate intensity exercise scored better on the tests. These included running, climbing, swimming, riding bicycles and so on.
“We found that those with moderate intensity activity had higher scores and slower memory decline (下降) than inactive people when comparing the results,” the study team wrote.
Many studies have shown that exercise may not prevent Alzheimer’s disease but may delay it. The findings fit in with a study that found two years of exercising, eating healthier food and brain training can promote people’s memory function.
12. What does the underlined phrase refer to
A. People with a range of diseases.
B. People without health insurance.
C. People with high levels of intelligence.
D. People with no or irregular physical activity.
13. What can we know from the study
A. Moderate intensity exercise keeps your brain younger.
B Low-intensity group scored higher grades on the tests.
C. Exercise can protect people from getting old and puzzled.
D. Moderate intensity exercise can prevent memory from losing.
14. Which of the following is included in moderate intensity sports
A. Bowling. B. Reading. C. Walking. D. Swimming.
15. Who might delay memory aging
A. Those whose family never suffer from any diseases.
B. Those who are good at many higher thinking skills.
C. Those who regular exercise and have a healthy diet.
D. Those who possess a high sense of responsibility.
