In some parts of China, mainly in Anhui Province and Zhejiang Province, spread groups of grey-tiled and white-walled houses, forming one of the most typical scenes captured in traditional Chinese landscape paintings. It is Hui-style architecture, one of the major Chinese architectural styles of ancient times.
Hui-style architecture developed into a significant building school in the Song Dynasty. In the mid-Ming Dynasty, gardens and houses constructed with Hui styles developed very quickly along with the success of Hui commerce (商业). Hui-style architecture soon stepped out from Huizhou and was introduced to big towns.
Hui-style architecture is characterized by the arrangement of villages together with nature, and a simple and beautiful exterior (外观).
Hui-style houses are usually ones with skylights (天井). With a square skylight surrounded by houses from four sides or from left right and backside, these houses can reduce the beat of sunshine and enjoy ventilation (通风). All the houses gathers water from the skylight which means fortune will not run off outside.
In ancient times, the colors used for buildings were very strict Bright colors could only be used in palaces, temples and for government officials. So people in Huizhou chose the black and white colors to paint their houses.
Generally speaking, the exterior appearance of Hui-style buildings differs little while their interior can vary a lot based on the wishes of the owners. Home decoration is characterized by three types of Hui carving: stone carving, wood carving and brick carving.
To take a look at the Hui-style architecture, Xidi Village in Yixian County, Anhui Province, is the best place to go. It is a site of typical Hui houses, and one of the “Ancient Villages in Southern Anhui” that have been collectively listed as a World Cultural Heritage Site by UNESCO.
4. What can we learn about Hui-style architecture
A. It is common across China. B. It differs greatly exteriorly.
C. It focuses on landscape paintings. D. It wins international recognition.
5. What aspect of Hui-style architecture does paragraph 4 talk about
A. Its interior appearance. B. Its roof structure.
C. Its practical functions. D. Its strange shapes.
6. Why are Hui-style buildings mostly black and white
A. Bright colors were strictly controlled.
B. Bright colors caused fortune to run of.
C. Light colors best fit in with nature.
D. Light colors could reflect sunshine.
7. What’s the purpose of the last paragraph

C. To introduce a heritage site. D. To call for protection.
【答案】4. D 5. C 6. A 7. B

Our internal body clock has such a great impact on sporting ability that it could change the chances of Olympic gold, say researchers. The team at the University of Birmingham showed performance times varied by 26% throughout the day. Early risers reached their athletic peak around lunchtime, while night owls were the best in the evening.
The body clock controls everything in a daily rhythm. Some aspects of sporting ability were thought to peak in early afternoon but a study in the journal Current Biology suggests each competitor’s sleeping habits have a powerful impact.
They took 20 female hockey players and asked them to perform a series of 20 meters runs in shorter and shorter times. And they did it at six different times of day between 07:00 and 22 :00. The results showed a peak performance in late afternoon, but then the scientists looked separately at early-type people, late-type people and those in the middle.
This time the gap between the best and worst times was 26%, and a far more complicated picture emerged: Larks-or early risers-peaked at 12:00；Intermediate types peaked just before 16:00；Owls-or late types-peaked not long before 20:00.
Lead researcher Dr Roland Brandstaetter told the BBC News website, “Athletes and coaches would benefit greatly if they knew when the best and most suitable performance time was.” He said a 1% difference in performance would be the difference between the fourth place and a medal in many Olympic events. Body clocks can be adjusted. Jet lag is when you feel uncomfortable before adjusting to a new time. “So if you’re an early type in a competition in the evening, you could adjust sleeping times to the competition,” Dr Brandstaetter said.
Dr Brandstaetter said this provided an important lesson for talent-spotting. “It takes place more or less in adolescents, but we know half of them are owls, yet almost all cases of talent-spotting are during the school hours,” he said.
“That is when they are in the range of 70%-80% of peak performance, so we are missing out on a huge number of high performers by testing at the wrong time of day.” Commenting on the findings, Dr Thomas Kantermann, from the University of Groningen and the scientific manager of the Chrono City project in Germany, told BBC, “The study adds to our understanding about the importance of body clocks and internal time in physical performance. “Only by taking internal time into account can true and fair assessments of human performance become possible.”
8. The passage mainly discuss the relation between_______ and ______.
A. sport performance and body clock
B. academic test results and health of adolescents
C. how much one sleeps and which sports one plays
D. health of adolescents and sport performance
9. According to the study, which state is true
A. Owls couldn’t get a good sleep at night.
B. Early risers usually go to sleep on time.
C. Larks tend to perform better during lunchtime.
D. Intermediate types are of average level in sports.
10. How can body clocks be adjusted
A. By taking part in more sports events.
B. By changing their time for sleeping.
C. By taking the sports in the evening.
D. By adjusting their jet lags.
11. According to the passage, this study can also be applied to _______.
A. how to fit in the school hours
B. how to get a good sleep at night
C. how to reach peak performance in events
D. how to find out talents among adolescents
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. B 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述的是研究人员发现，人体内部的生物钟对运动能力有很大影响，甚至可能改变奥运金牌的机会。如果运动员和教练们知道最佳表现时间，他们将受益匪浅。同时，人们可以通过调整睡眠时间来适应比赛的时间。这项研究也对发现人才提供了重要的教训，人才的发现应该考虑到青少年的生物钟和内在时间的影响。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Our internal body clock has such a great impact on sporting ability that it could change the chances of Olympic gold, say researchers. The team at the University of Birmingham showed performance times varied by 26% throughout the day.(研究人员称，我们体内的生物钟对运动能力有很大的影响，甚至可以改变奥运会金牌的几率。伯明翰大学的研究小组发现，人们在一天中的表现时间变化幅度为26%。)”可知，文章介绍的是一个新的研究发现，该发现指出体内的生物钟对运动能力有着很大的影响，故文章讨论的是生物钟和运动表现之间的关系。故选A。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“This time the gap between the best and worst times was 26%, and a far more complicated picture emerged: Larks-or early risers-peaked at 12:00; Intermediate types peaked just before 16:00；Owls-or late types-peaked not long before 20:00(这一次，最好和最坏的时间之间的差距是26%，并且出现了一个更加复杂的画面：百灵鸟(即早起的人)在12:00达到峰值；中间类型的人在16:00之前达到峰值；猫头鹰(即晚睡的人)在20:00前不久达到峰值)”可知，根据研究发现可知，百灵鸟(即早起的人)在12:00达到峰值，C选项“Larks tend to perform better during lunchtime.(“百灵鸟”往往在午餐时间表现更好。)”符合文章内容。故选C。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中““So if you’re an early type in a competition in the evening, you could adjust sleeping times to the competition,” Dr Brandstaetter said.(“因此，如果你是晚上比赛中早起的人，你可以调整睡眠时间来适应比赛，”布兰德斯塔特博士说。)”可知，生物钟是可以调整的，该调整方式是可以通过调整睡眠时间来实现。故选B。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中“Dr Brandstaetter said this provided an important lesson for talent-spotting.( Brandstaetter博士说，这为发现人才提供了重要的一课。)”可知，这项研究的结果同样可以应用于发现人才。故选D。
D
Just the other day, I was in a bookshop and found a book named How to Make Friends with Foreigners. Naturally, as a foreigner who has been living in China for a year, I was curious to see what kind of advice a Chinese writer was giving on this matter.
One piece of advice really caught my attention and, I must say, made me feel quite annoyed. In the writer’s opinion, foreigners are an “opportunity” to improve your oral English; whenever you see a foreigner, you should practise speaking English with him or her. The writer goes on to say that if the foreigner doesn’t want to answer your questions, then he or she is a rude person who you wouldn’t want to spend time with anyway. I think this advice is not only incorrect, but also potentially (潜在的) damaging to the relations between Chinese and foreigners in China.
Like most other “Lao Wai” living in China, I know how lonely one can sometimes feel living within a culture far removed from our own familiar ways. However, most of the time this cultural isolation (孤独) is something I simply accept as part of being here. So far my time in China has been very rewarding. I have improved my Chinese language skills, learned about one of the most swiftly developing countries in the world today and made some very close Chinese friends.
Unfortunately, I have also come across many Chinese people who view me purely as an “opportunity” to improve their oral English under the guise (伪装) of making friends. I have experienced the situation where people followed me from town to my college flat and then harassed (骚扰) me to teach them English or practise English with them. I have had complete strangers throwing articles or speeches in my face, insisting that I help them with the English translation. I have had people asking me to help with immigration applications to other countries. All of these people claimed at the time that what they mainly wanted was to make friends with me. There was even one person at the weekly English Corner that I run at college who, after asking me non-stop questions for half an hour, became very angry when I politely asked him to give other people a chance to speak. He puffed himself up like a peacock and informed me that he was simply trying to be my friend.
He may well have thought he was trying to be my friend, but it’s absolutely not a polite way to build friendships by pestering another person. Friendship for a lot of westerners is about spending time with someone whose company you genuinely (真正的) enjoy. It’s not about opportunities or personal advantages. The Chinese friends I have made while living here have been genuine friends to me; we enjoy each other’s company for its own sake. In this way, we’ve not only learned a good deal about each other’s culture but also about each other as individuals.
So if there is any advice to give on making and keeping friendships with foreigners, I would say that it is this: Treat foreigners as people, not opportunities. Expect to make friendships gradually, over a period of time, not instantly. Don’t burden foreigners with lots and lots of different questions. At times, this approach appears confusing and unnatural.
Finally, I would suggest that if you really want to make friends with a foreigner, then you do so because you are genuinely interested in the person. We all know that true friendships stand the test of time. If your only reason for becoming friends with a foreigner is to improve your English, then you will probably find that you don’t have a foreign friend for long!
12. Why is the author unhappy about the book How to Make Friends with Foreigners
A. Because the book is written by a Chinese.
B. Because the book is sold at a small bookshop.
C. Because the book sees foreigners as opportunities to improve one’s English.
D. Because the book can’t understand how lonely foreigners are in China.
13. The underlined sentence “So far my time in China has been very rewarding.” in Paragraph 3 most probably means_________.
A. I find my life in China happy and useful
B. I don’t like my stay in China
C. I’ve wasted so much time in China
D. I can’t control my time while living in China
14. According to the passage, what kind of attitude should we have while making friends with foreigners
A. Foreigners are good opportunities for us to practise our oral English.
B. We can ask them to fill in application forms for us at any time.
C. Foreigners are different from us, and we can make friends with them instantly.
D. If I want to make friends with a foreigner, it’s only because I enjoy his/her company.
15. What can we learn about the author
A. He is a foreigner doing business in China for a year.
B. He is a foreign teacher working in China for a year.
C. He is a foreigner doing business in China for two years.
D. He is a foreign teacher working in China for two years.
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. D 15. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者发现一本名叫《如何与外国人交朋友》的书里认为外国人是提高英语水平的机会，但是作者认为和一个外国人交朋友应该只是因为喜欢对方的陪伴。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段前两句“One piece of advice really caught my attention and, I must say, made me feel quite annoyed. In the writer’s opinion, foreigners are an “opportunity” to improve your oral English; whenever you see a foreigner, you should practise speaking English with him or her.(有一条建议引起了我的注意，我必须说，这让我感到很恼火。在作者看来，外国人是提高你英语口语的“机会”；每当你看到一个外国人，你应该和他或她练习说英语)”可知，作者对《如何与外国人交朋友》这本书不满意是因为这本书把外国人看作是提高英语水平的机会。故选C。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段最后一句“I have improved my Chinese language skills, learned about one of the most swiftly developing countries in the world today and made some very close Chinese friends.(我提高了我的中文水平，了解了当今世界上发展最快的国家之一，结交了一些非常亲密的中国朋友)”可知，作者在提高了自己的中文水平，了解了中国并结交了中国朋友，推测划线句子“So far my time in China has been very rewarding.”的意思是“我”发现自己在中国的生活开心而有用处。故选A。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段第二句到第四句“Friendship for a lot of westerners is about spending time with someone whose company you genuinely (真正的) enjoy. It’s not about opportunities or personal advantages. The Chinese friends I have made while living here have been genuine friends to me; we enjoy each other’s company for its own sake.(对很多西方人来说，友谊就是花时间和你真正喜欢的人在一起。这与机会或个人优势无关。我在这里生活期间结交的中国朋友对我来说都是真正的朋友；我们喜欢彼此的陪伴，因为这本身就是为了陪伴)”可知，我们在和外国人交朋友时应该保持“如果我想和一个外国人交朋友，那只是因为我喜欢他/她的陪伴”的态度。故选D。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段第二句“Naturally, as a foreigner who has been living in China for a year, I was curious to see what kind of advice a Chinese writer was giving on this matter.(当然，作为一个在中国生活了一年的外国人，我很想知道一位中国作家在这个问题上给出了什么样的建议)”和第四段第二句“I have experienced the situation where people followed me from town to my college flat and then harassed (骚扰) me to teach them English or practise English with them.(我曾经经历过这样的情况：有人从城里跟着我到我的大学公寓，然后骚扰我教他们英语或和他们一起练习英语)”可知，作者是一名在中国工作了一年的外教。故选B。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一些帮助平息抱怨的建议。
【16题详解】
根据空前“And complaining isn’t always an annoying thing.(抱怨并不总是一件令人讨厌的事情。)”指的是抱怨并不总是坏事；而空后出现转折“However, if someone makes complaints frequently, the problems will start.(然而，如果有人经常抱怨，问题就会开始。)”可知，空处应延续上文，和“抱怨并不总是坏事”相关。选项F“Talking about the problem with him frankly is important.(有时候，抱怨至少可以释放我们的压力。)”正是说抱怨也有好处。故选F。

根据上文“Some complainers will be distracted from their negative mood if you change the topic in a direction that interests them. If your neighbor is complaining about the noisy community environment, you can tell her you bought some beautiful flowers yesterday.(如果你把话题转移到他们感兴趣的方向，一些爱抱怨的人就会从他们的负面情绪中分心。如果你的邻居抱怨社区环境太吵，你可以告诉她你昨天买了一些漂亮的花。)”可知，本段主题是转移话题；而空前是作者所给的如何转移话题的例子。选项G“If your colleague is saying ill words of the boss, tell him there will be some new employees next week.(如果你的同事在说老板的坏话，告诉他下周会有新员工。)”也是如何转移话题的例子。符合语境，与上文一致，都是举例说明，故选G。
18题详解】
空处为小标题，为本段中心句。根据本段“When someone frequently makes complaints to you, ask nicely what he’s done to improve it.

【19题详解】
根据标题Be honest.和下文“If someone complains to you many times before and you must cut the conversation short, you can simply be honest, saying you need to focus on your own business.(如果有人向你抱怨了很多次，你必须缩短谈话，你可以简单地诚实地说你需要专注于自己的业务。)”可知，本段鼓励对自己诚实，无需一直忍受对方的抱怨，要勇敢地说出自己的感受。选项C“Don’t be afraid of letting him down.(不要害怕让他失望。)”引出下文，勇敢说出自己的感受。故选C。
【20题详解】
根据下文“This will let the person know your true feelings.(这会让对方知道你的真实感受。)”中的“this”可知，空处的事情能够让对方知道你的真实感受。选项E“Talking about the problem with him frankly is important.(和他坦率地讨论这个问题很重要。)”正是可以让对方知道你真实感受的方式。故选E。

Rama was a well-known businessman who dealt in the export of agricultural products. One year, there was no rain so the whole village was under drought conditions. There was a lack of food and water everywhere. Villagers were dying of hunger. Therefore, they reached out to Rama for help.
Rama, in spite of having a huge loss in business, chose to help the villagers out generously. He started giving out food for free. Every day he would give a part of his wealth and grains to the needy. Soon, Rama ran out of money and food as he gave all his wealth to the needy villagers. Rama tried hard to manage his business, but he failed. Finally, he was left with nothing.
Rama had to live in a rented house. He looked for a job but no one was ready to offer him one because they were in fear of losing their wealth because of his kind nature. After a few days, he left with no money, so he had to leave his rented house. Rama was now homeless. He and his wife decided to leave the village.
Rama and his wife set off for another village. After walking for a while, both were tired so they decided to take a rest under a tree, and after that, they would move further. They ate whatever they had with them and slept under the tree. They were so tired that they slept the whole day and when they woke up it was dark. They started seeking shelter.

To take a look at the Hui-style architecture, Xidi Village in Yixian County, Anhui Province, is the best place to go. It is a site of typical Hui houses, and one of the “Ancient Villages in Southern Anhui” that have been collectively listed as a World Cultural Heritage Site by UNESCO.

Our internal body clock has such a great impact on sporting ability that it could change the chances of Olympic gold, say researchers. The team at the University of Birmingham showed performance times varied by 26% throughout the day. Early risers reached their athletic peak around lunchtime, while night owls were the best in the evening.
The body clock controls everything in a daily rhythm. Some aspects of sporting ability were thought to peak in early afternoon but a study in the journal Current Biology suggests each competitor’s sleeping habits have a powerful impact.
They took 20 female hockey players and asked them to perform a series of 20 meters runs in shorter and shorter times. And they did it at six different times of day between 07:00 and 22 :00. The results showed a peak performance in late afternoon, but then the scientists looked separately at early-type people, late-type people and those in the middle.
This time the gap between the best and worst times was 26%, and a far more complicated picture emerged: Larks-or early risers-peaked at 12:00；Intermediate types peaked just before 16:00；Owls-or late types-peaked not long before 20:00.
Lead researcher Dr Roland Brandstaetter told the BBC News website, “Athletes and coaches would benefit greatly if they knew when the best and most suitable performance time was.” He said a 1% difference in performance would be the difference between the fourth place and a medal in many Olympic events. Body clocks can be adjusted. Jet lag is when you feel uncomfortable before adjusting to a new time. “So if you’re an early type in a competition in the evening, you could adjust sleeping times to the competition,” Dr Brandstaetter said.
Dr Brandstaetter said this provided an important lesson for talent-spotting. “It takes place more or less in adolescents, but we know half of them are owls, yet almost all cases of talent-spotting are during the school hours,” he said.
“That is when they are in the range of 70%-80% of peak performance, so we are missing out on a huge number of high performers by testing at the wrong time of day.” Commenting on the findings, Dr Thomas Kantermann, from the University of Groningen and the scientific manager of the Chrono City project in Germany, told BBC, “The study adds to our understanding about the importance of body clocks and internal time in physical performance. “Only by taking internal time into account can true and fair assessments of human performance become possible.”
8. The passage mainly discuss the relation between_______ and ______.
A. sport performance and body clock
B. academic test results and health of adolescents
C. how much one sleeps and which sports one plays
D. health of adolescents and sport performance
9. According to the study, which state is true
A. Owls couldn’t get a good sleep at night.
B. Early risers usually go to sleep on time.
C. Larks tend to perform better during lunchtime.
D. Intermediate types are of average level in sports.
10. How can body clocks be adjusted
A. By taking part in more sports events.
B. By changing their time for sleeping.
C. By taking the sports in the evening.
D. By adjusting their jet lags.
11. According to the passage, this study can also be applied to _______.
A. how to fit in the school hours
B. how to get a good sleep at night
C. how to reach peak performance in events
D. how to find out talents among adolescents

Just the other day, I was in a bookshop and found a book named How to Make Friends with Foreigners. Naturally, as a foreigner who has been living in China for a year, I was curious to see what kind of advice a Chinese writer was giving on this matter.
One piece of advice really caught my attention and, I must say, made me feel quite annoyed. In the writer’s opinion, foreigners are an “opportunity” to improve your oral English; whenever you see a foreigner, you should practise speaking English with him or her. The writer goes on to say that if the foreigner doesn’t want to answer your questions, then he or she is a rude person who you wouldn’t want to spend time with anyway. I think this advice is not only incorrect, but also potentially (潜在的) damaging to the relations between Chinese and foreigners in China.
Like most other “Lao Wai” living in China, I know how lonely one can sometimes feel living within a culture far removed from our own familiar ways. However, most of the time this cultural isolation (孤独) is something I simply accept as part of being here. So far my time in China has been very rewarding. I have improved my Chinese language skills, learned about one of the most swiftly developing countries in the world today and made some very close Chinese friends.
Unfortunately, I have also come across many Chinese people who view me purely as an “opportunity” to improve their oral English under the guise (伪装) of making friends. I have experienced the situation where people followed me from town to my college flat and then harassed (骚扰) me to teach them English or practise English with them. I have had complete strangers throwing articles or speeches in my face, insisting that I help them with the English translation. I have had people asking me to help with immigration applications to other countries. All of these people claimed at the time that what they mainly wanted was to make friends with me. There was even one person at the weekly English Corner that I run at college who, after asking me non-stop questions for half an hour, became very angry when I politely asked him to give other people a chance to speak. He puffed himself up like a peacock and informed me that he was simply trying to be my friend.
He may well have thought he was trying to be my friend, but it’s absolutely not a polite way to build friendships by pestering another person. Friendship for a lot of westerners is about spending time with someone whose company you genuinely (真正的) enjoy. It’s not about opportunities or personal advantages. The Chinese friends I have made while living here have been genuine friends to me; we enjoy each other’s company for its own sake. In this way, we’ve not only learned a good deal about each other’s culture but also about each other as individuals.
So if there is any advice to give on making and keeping friendships with foreigners, I would say that it is this: Treat foreigners as people, not opportunities. Expect to make friendships gradually, over a period of time, not instantly. Don’t burden foreigners with lots and lots of different questions. At times, this approach appears confusing and unnatural.
Finally, I would suggest that if you really want to make friends with a foreigner, then you do so because you are genuinely interested in the person. We all know that true friendships stand the test of time. If your only reason for becoming friends with a foreigner is to improve your English, then you will probably find that you don’t have a foreign friend for long!
12. Why is the author unhappy about the book How to Make Friends with Foreigners
A. Because the book is written by a Chinese.
B. Because the book is sold at a small bookshop.
C. Because the book sees foreigners as opportunities to improve one’s English.
D. Because the book can’t understand how lonely foreigners are in China.
13. The underlined sentence “So far my time in China has been very rewarding.” in Paragraph 3 most probably means_________.
A. I find my life in China happy and useful
B. I don’t like my stay in China
C. I’ve wasted so much time in China
D. I can’t control my time while living in China
14. According to the passage, what kind of attitude should we have while making friends with foreigners
A. Foreigners are good opportunities for us to practise our oral English.
B. We can ask them to fill in application forms for us at any time.
C. Foreigners are different from us, and we can make friends with them instantly.
D. If I want to make friends with a foreigner, it’s only because I enjoy his/her company.
15. What can we learn about the author
A. He is a foreigner doing business in China for a year.
B. He is a foreign teacher working in China for a year.
C. He is a foreigner doing business in China for two years.
D. He is a foreign teacher working in China for two years.

Once upon a time, there was a village where lived a wealthy man named Rama. He was always ready to help the poor and needy. His act of kindness made him so popular that villagers thought of him as the head of the village. And he was overjoyed at villagers’ love for him.
Rama was a well-known businessman who dealt in the export of agricultural products. One year, there was no rain so the whole village was under drought conditions. There was a lack of food and water everywhere. Villagers were dying of hunger. Therefore, they reached out to Rama for help.
Rama, in spite of having a huge loss in business, chose to help the villagers out generously. He started giving out food for free. Every day he would give a part of his wealth and grains to the needy. Soon, Rama ran out of money and food as he gave all his wealth to the needy villagers. Rama tried hard to manage his business, but he failed. Finally, he was left with nothing.
Rama had to live in a rented house. He looked for a job but no one was ready to offer him one because they were in fear of losing their wealth because of his kind nature. After a few days, he left with no money, so he had to leave his rented house. Rama was now homeless. He and his wife decided to leave the village.
Rama and his wife set off for another village. After walking for a while, both were tired so they decided to take a rest under a tree, and after that, they would move further. They ate whatever they had with them and slept under the tree. They were so tired that they slept the whole day and when they woke up it was dark. They started seeking shelter. Soon they saw a luxury mansion（公馆）and went there for help.
