Yasmin, a two-year-old from Bodmin, Cornwall, the UK, was playing with a toy in a local park on Sunday when a bird grabbed it away. Her father, Matthew Blanchard, said the gull(鸥）“dived in and grabbed” the doll, named Baby, when Yasmin dropped it while walking. The gull eventually dropped the toy on the roof of a nearby school and it was rescued from there by some workers.
Mr. Blanchard said: “Yasmin was happily playing on the swings and taking her baby down the slide. There were lots of seagulls in the park, and she managed to drop the baby as she was walking up the hill. The seagull took the opportunity and dived in and grabbed it.”
Mr. Blanchard said Yasmin was “crying” as other gulls joined in, fighting for the toy. “I thought once it realised it wasn't food it would let it go, but then all the other seagulls thought it had some food on it, so they all dive-bombed the baby dolly,” he added. One of the gulls got hold of the doll and took it up onto the roof of a nearby school, where it eventually dropped it.
“I had to get her out of the park because she was so upset,” Mr. Blanchard said. “I convinced her that somebody would be able to get it down for her another day, but I couldn't see any way of us getting it back.” Mr. Blanchard said his daughter was so upset she talked about nothing else over the following days.
The family contacted Bodmin Town Council who sent a worker to get the doll back on Tuesday enabling a reunion between Yasmin and Baby that evening. “It was just a small gesture which meant a lot to Yasmin. She was over the moon when she got that baby back and she hasn't let it go since.” Mr. Blanchard said.
Marie Tonkin-Couch, the council receptionist who dealt with the request, said: “The member of staff was a bit surprised when we asked them to go and get the doll, but it was an easy rescue as they just needed to climb up a ladder.” Ms. Tonkin-Couch said she had not heard of a gull stealing someone's toy before. “It was nice to be able to get it back to her when you have kids, you know how precious toys are to them. It was a happy ending.”

【41题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段第一句“Mr. Blanchard said Yasmin was “crying” as other gulls joined in, fighting for the toy.”(布兰查德说，当其他海鸥加入争夺玩具的行列时，雅斯敏正在“哭泣”。)可知，亚斯敏哭了，因为玩具baby被海鸥带走了。故选B。
【42题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段最后一句“One of the gulls got hold of the doll and took it up onto the roof of a nearby school, where it eventually dropped it.”(其中一只海鸥抓住玩偶，把它带到附近一所学校的屋顶上，最后把它扔了下去。)可知，海鸥们最终放弃了玩偶。故选B。
【43题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段第二句中的“I convinced her that somebody would be able to get it down for her another day”(我说服她，改天会有人帮她把它拿下来的)可知，布兰奇先生向女儿保证会玩具拿回来，以此来安慰她。故选B。
【44题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第五段第三句中的“when she got that baby back”(当她拿回娃娃的时候)并结合上文海鸥带走了娃娃可知，此处是指她重新获得娃娃baby的时候非常开心。所以“over the moon”意为“兴高采烈”。故选D。

A world-champion body builder has no more muscles than does a 90-pound person who is physically weak. So what makes him so strong What other qualities does he need
Muscles are made of thousands of stringy fibers-a number that is fixed during childhood-which contract(收缩）when doing work. Strength does not depend on the number of fibers but on the function of their thickness and how many of them contract at the same time.
Exercise actually damages the muscles. During the recovery stage, the muscle fibers increase in size. Exercise also trains more muscle fibers to work at one time. If a muscle is weak or untrained, for example, only 10 percent of its fibers will contract, whereas up to 90 percent of the fibers in a weight lifter's biceps(二头肌）will contract.
Aside from the strength, two other factors go into making an athlete: fitness and endurance. Fitness is related to the condition of the heart. During exercises, there is an increase in the amount of blood returning to the heart from the muscles. A typical volume for a runner at rest is about 5 quarts a minute, compared with 30 quarts during a vigorous trial(运动测试). This greater volume means more work for the heart-a muscular balloon that expands and contract is to take in blood and push it out. Like any other muscle, the heart enlarges and gets stronger with routine exercise.
Endurance, or the length of time muscles can work, depends in part on how much fuel－in this case sugar-the muscles can store. A muscle that is continually exercised until it runs out of sugar tends to store more when it refuels at the next meal. And more sugar can translate into greater endurance the next time the muscle is put to the test.
46. What determines the strength of a world-champion body builder
A. The thickness of fibers and the number of those contracting contemporarily.
B. The number of fibers and the amount of exercise he does at the same time.
C. The function of fibers and their thickness.
D. The function of fibers and their recovery.
47. What effect does exercise have on muscle fibers according to the passage
A. It helps fibers more easily to contract.
B. It makes fibers increase quickly in size.
C. It makes more fibers weak or untrained.
D. It helps more fibers to work at one time.
48. What does the author mean by saying “this greater volume means more work for the heart”
A. The heart bears the task of making more blood during a vigorous trial.
B. The heart needs to bear the fast heart beating during a vigorous trial.
C. The heart takes in more blood and pushes it out during a vigorous trial.
D. The heart enlarges and becomes stronger routinely during a vigorous trial.
49. What could be inferred from the last paragraph
A. The more sugar muscles store, the thicker the fibers in them become.
B. The more sugar a muscle consumes, the less it tends to store next time.
C. The more sugar the muscles of an athlete store, the longer time they can work.
D. The amount of sugar in muscles largely depends on when they refuel at the nest meal.
50. What could be the best title for the passage
A. Strong Heart and World-champion B. Strength, Fitness and Endurance
C. Body Building and Muscles D. Resources of Strength
【答案】46. A 47. D 48. C 49. C 50. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要是讲影响一个运动员的成长的因素有三个——力量、健康和耐力。
【46题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句“Strength does not depend on the number of fibers but on the function of their thickness and how many of them contract at the same time.”(力量并不取决于纤维的数量，而是取决于纤维的厚度和同时收缩的纤维数量。)可知，纤维的厚度和同时收缩的数量决定了世界健美冠军的力量。故选A。
【47题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段第三句“Exercise also trains more muscle fibers to work at one time.”(锻炼还能训练同一时间运作更多肌肉纤维。)可知，锻炼可以帮助增加在同一时间工作的纤维数量。故选D。
【48题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段倒第二句中的“a muscular balloon that expands and contract is to take in blood and push it out”(一个可以扩张和收缩的肌肉气球的作用是吸收血液并将其排出)可知，作者的意思是心脏吸收更多的血液，并在运动测试中将其排出体外。故选C。
【49题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句“Endurance, or the length of time muscles can work, depends in part on how much fuel－in this case sugar-the muscles can store.”(耐力，或者肌肉能工作的时间长度，部分取决于肌肉能储存多少燃料——在这个例子中是指糖。)可知，运动员的肌肉储存的糖分越多，他们能工作的时间就越长。故选C。
【50题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段最后两句“So what makes him so strong What other qualities does he need （那么是什么让他如此强大呢？他还需要什么其他素质？）”和第四段第一句“Aside from the strength, two other factors go into making an athlete: fitness and endurance.”(除了力量，还有两个因素影响运动员的成长：健康和耐力。)可知，文章主要是讲影响一个运动员的成长的因素有三个——力量、健康和耐力。故选B。
D
We are all born social and company to live happy and fruitful life. Healthy and supportive mutual relationships help reduce stress and promote the, physical, mental and emotional well-being by building skills like time management, assertiveness( 坚定自信), sociability and empathy.
Making friends has made me feel secure. However, I have to be cautious to pick up friends sharing similar tastes and values. In addition, having added to one’s circle of friends helps one feel supported.
It is true that finding time to cultivate relationships is all about effective time management My busy uncle finds time to catch up with family and friends during his tea and lunch breaks. Similarly my friend Somya uses her time on her way back home from work in her chauffeur-driven car to catch up with people. The modern inventions of SMS and e-mail help send wishes for birthdays and anniversaries to show your love and care.
Assertiveness is as much applicable to relationships. My friend Mohana emphasizes that neither being a passive observer nor being aggressive helps relationships. It is assertiveness in our relationships that opens the lines of effective communication. It emphasizes helping friends in need and also strengthens mutually supportive relationships.
It is also true that assertiveness by intuition promotes discretion(自行决定权) of friends and helps Lalitha distinguish positive people from drains of energy. She can easily figure this out by the flow of the conversation, the way each feels understood, accepted and supported, and by how I feel, happy, bored or energized in the relationship. It also helps to know whether all benefit from each other’s positive aspects.
Handling stress in life is all about cultivating mutually supportive relationships and working on them. Manisha always says she feels great when sharing her feelings after a hard day with people who share similar ideas. Actually we all need someone who would not just hear us, but listen to us, and we need to cultivate the art of listening and understanding people.
51. A busy person can develop his social relationships by________.
A. inviting friends for dinner B. making friends with strangers
C. working hard for high positions D. getting together in the intervals of business
52. Which of the following helps build mutually supportive social relationships
A. Being passive. B. Being assertive.
C. Being aggressive. D. Being relaxed.
53. A person most needs supportive social relationships when he/she is________.
A. lonely B. bored C. stressed D. energetic
54. From the passage, who can positively get supportive social relationship
A. Manisha. B. Mohana. C. Lalitha. D. Somya.
55. What is mainly discussed in the passage
A. How should we handle our stress in life
B. What is to be done for applicable relationships
C. How can we pick up friends supporting us
D. How people build mutually supportive social relationship
【答案】51. D 52. B 53. C 54. A 55. D
【解析】

V. 阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
阅读下面短文，按照要求完成阅读任务。
My neighbor Josie was a good cook and college professor. We have been good friends for many years. Each early morning, Josie would invite me to join her in walking and she would make breakfast for me as a reward!
Josie planted a lovely garden. Every flower and vegetable made its debut (首秀) once a year. There were so many kinds that I could not even recognize what was growing, and we had the freshest salads in the neighborhood all summer long!
Each evening, Josie and I would sit in front of the garden. We would have a chat, exchanging our world views as well as funny jokes. However, one evening, Josie was a “no-show”. Then I heard the ambulance and saw her husband and children running outside. Josie suffered a stroke (中风).
Later, when I set eyes on her, she was in a wheelchair, covered in a thick blanket. She looked smaller and older than before. But how she chose to face it made me surprised. During the days when Josie had some strength, her husband wheeled her into the living room, and they watched old movies together. She called it “date time”. And during the most special days when Josie was doing well, her husband took her for a walk outside in her wheelchair. She called it “going on vacation”. Despite the fact that Josie was not expected to make a full recovery, they continued to watch movies and took lots of mini-vacations.
She is grateful for listening to her grandchildren telling stories to her, smelling a summer barbecue, sharing a laugh with her favorite neighbor, and being here for another day. I am thankful for her simple life lesson: Find the positive, and you will find your reason to live.

Yasmin, a two-year-old from Bodmin, Cornwall, the UK, was playing with a toy in a local park on Sunday when a bird grabbed it away. Her father, Matthew Blanchard, said the gull(鸥）“dived in and grabbed” the doll, named Baby, when Yasmin dropped it while walking. The gull eventually dropped the toy on the roof of a nearby school and it was rescued from there by some workers.
Mr. Blanchard said: “Yasmin was happily playing on the swings and taking her baby down the slide. There were lots of seagulls in the park, and she managed to drop the baby as she was walking up the hill. The seagull took the opportunity and dived in and grabbed it.”
Mr. Blanchard said Yasmin was “crying” as other gulls joined in, fighting for the toy. “I thought once it realised it wasn't food it would let it go, but then all the other seagulls thought it had some food on it, so they all dive-bombed the baby dolly,” he added. One of the gulls got hold of the doll and took it up onto the roof of a nearby school, where it eventually dropped it.
“I had to get her out of the park because she was so upset,” Mr. Blanchard said. “I convinced her that somebody would be able to get it down for her another day, but I couldn't see any way of us getting it back.” Mr. Blanchard said his daughter was so upset she talked about nothing else over the following days.
The family contacted Bodmin Town Council who sent a worker to get the doll back on Tuesday enabling a reunion between Yasmin and Baby that evening. “It was just a small gesture which meant a lot to Yasmin. She was over the moon when she got that baby back and she hasn't let it go since.” Mr. Blanchard said.
Marie Tonkin-Couch, the council receptionist who dealt with the request, said: “The member of staff was a bit surprised when we asked them to go and get the doll, but it was an easy rescue as they just needed to climb up a ladder.” Ms. Tonkin-Couch said she had not heard of a gull stealing someone's toy before. “It was nice to be able to get it back to her when you have kids, you know how precious toys are to them. It was a happy ending.”

A world-champion body builder has no more muscles than does a 90-pound person who is physically weak. So what makes him so strong What other qualities does he need
Muscles are made of thousands of stringy fibers-a number that is fixed during childhood-which contract(收缩）when doing work. Strength does not depend on the number of fibers but on the function of their thickness and how many of them contract at the same time.
Exercise actually damages the muscles. During the recovery stage, the muscle fibers increase in size. Exercise also trains more muscle fibers to work at one time. If a muscle is weak or untrained, for example, only 10 percent of its fibers will contract, whereas up to 90 percent of the fibers in a weight lifter's biceps(二头肌）will contract.
Aside from the strength, two other factors go into making an athlete: fitness and endurance. Fitness is related to the condition of the heart. During exercises, there is an increase in the amount of blood returning to the heart from the muscles. A typical volume for a runner at rest is about 5 quarts a minute, compared with 30 quarts during a vigorous trial(运动测试). This greater volume means more work for the heart-a muscular balloon that expands and contract is to take in blood and push it out. Like any other muscle, the heart enlarges and gets stronger with routine exercise.
Endurance, or the length of time muscles can work, depends in part on how much fuel－in this case sugar-the muscles can store. A muscle that is continually exercised until it runs out of sugar tends to store more when it refuels at the next meal. And more sugar can translate into greater endurance the next time the muscle is put to the test.
46. What determines the strength of a world-champion body builder
A. The thickness of fibers and the number of those contracting contemporarily.
B. The number of fibers and the amount of exercise he does at the same time.
C. The function of fibers and their thickness.
D. The function of fibers and their recovery.
47. What effect does exercise have on muscle fibers according to the passage
A. It helps fibers more easily to contract.
B. It makes fibers increase quickly in size.
C. It makes more fibers weak or untrained.
D. It helps more fibers to work at one time.
48. What does the author mean by saying “this greater volume means more work for the heart”
A. The heart bears the task of making more blood during a vigorous trial.
B. The heart needs to bear the fast heart beating during a vigorous trial.
C. The heart takes in more blood and pushes it out during a vigorous trial.
D. The heart enlarges and becomes stronger routinely during a vigorous trial.
49. What could be inferred from the last paragraph
A. The more sugar muscles store, the thicker the fibers in them become.
B. The more sugar a muscle consumes, the less it tends to store next time.
C. The more sugar the muscles of an athlete store, the longer time they can work.
D. The amount of sugar in muscles largely depends on when they refuel at the nest meal.
50. What could be the best title for the passage
A. Strong Heart and World-champion B. Strength, Fitness and Endurance
C. Body Building and Muscles D. Resources of Strength

We are all born social and company to live happy and fruitful life. Healthy and supportive mutual relationships help reduce stress and promote the, physical, mental and emotional well-being by building skills like time management, assertiveness( 坚定自信), sociability and empathy.
Making friends has made me feel secure. However, I have to be cautious to pick up friends sharing similar tastes and values. In addition, having added to one’s circle of friends helps one feel supported.
It is true that finding time to cultivate relationships is all about effective time management. My busy uncle finds time to catch up with family and friends during his tea and lunch breaks. Similarly my friend Somya uses her time on her way back home from work in her chauffeur-driven car to catch up with people. The modern inventions of SMS and e-mail help send wishes for birthdays and anniversaries to show your love and care.
Assertiveness is as much applicable to relationships. My friend Mohana emphasizes that neither being a passive observer nor being aggressive helps relationships. It is assertiveness in our relationships that opens the lines of effective communication. It emphasizes helping friends in need and also strengthens mutually supportive relationships.
It is also true that assertiveness by intuition promotes discretion(自行决定权) of friends and helps Lalitha distinguish positive people from drains of energy. She can easily figure this out by the flow of the conversation, the way each feels understood, accepted and supported, and by how I feel, happy, bored or energized in the relationship. It also helps to know whether all benefit from each other’s positive aspects.
Handling stress in life is all about cultivating mutually supportive relationships and working on them. Manisha always says she feels great when sharing her feelings after a hard day with people who share similar ideas. Actually we all need someone who would not just hear us, but listen to us, and we need to cultivate the art of listening and understanding people.
51. A busy person can develop his social relationships by________.
A. inviting friends for dinner B. making friends with strangers
C. working hard for high positions D. getting together in the intervals of business
52. Which of the following helps build mutually supportive social relationships
A. Being passive. B. Being assertive.
C. Being aggressive. D. Being relaxed.
53. A person most needs supportive social relationships when he/she is________.
A. lonely B. bored C. stressed D. energetic
54. From the passage, who can positively get supportive social relationship
A. Manisha. B. Mohana. C. Lalitha. D. Somya.
55. What is mainly discussed in the passage
A. How should we handle our stress in life
B. What is to be done for applicable relationships
C. How can we pick up friends supporting us
D. How people build mutually supportive social relationship

My neighbor Josie was a good cook and college professor. We have been good friends for many years. Each early morning, Josie would invite me to join her in walking and she would make breakfast for me as a reward!
Josie planted a lovely garden. Every flower and vegetable made its debut (首秀) once a year. There were so many kinds that I could not even recognize what was growing, and we had the freshest salads in the neighborhood all summer long!
Each evening, Josie and I would sit in front of the garden. We would have a chat, exchanging our world views as well as funny jokes. However, one evening, Josie was a “no-show”. Then I heard the ambulance and saw her husband and children running outside. Josie suffered a stroke (中风).
Later, when I set eyes on her, she was in a wheelchair, covered in a thick blanket. She looked smaller and older than before. But how she chose to face it made me surprised. During the days when Josie had some strength, her husband wheeled her into the living room, and they watched old movies together. She called it “date time”. And during the most special days when Josie was doing well, her husband took her for a walk outside in her wheelchair. She called it “going on vacation”. Despite the fact that Josie was not expected to make a full recovery, they continued to watch movies and took lots of mini-vacations.
She is grateful for listening to her grandchildren telling stories to her, smelling a summer barbecue, sharing a laugh with her favorite neighbor, and being here for another day. I am thankful for her simple life lesson: Find the positive, and you will find your reason to live.
