【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据Flash Fiction部分“In this workshop, we’ll explore how a set word count (固定字数) ranging from 5 to 1,000 words can lead to creative freedom, allowing authors to develop their micro-fiction story to its most effective message.(在这个工作坊中，我们将探讨从5到1000字的字数如何能带来创作自由，让作者把他们的微型小说故事发展成最有效的信息。)”可知，该研习班适合喜欢微型小说的人。故选B。

B
One night, as I was driving down the road, I found something was sitting in the middle of the road. A few seconds later, I realized I was looking at a large turtle (海龟). Afraid of it being crashed by cars, so I pulled over, ran across the road and dragged the turtle to safety. But I’d made one big mistake.
I had heard that the best way to pick up a turtle without hurting it was picking it by the tail in order not to get bitten. So I’d made that big mistake. While the turtle turned out OK generally, I was determined to figure out how to move a turtle properly. I needed to find someone who dealt with turtles. I found the Ontario Turtle Conservation Centre. I talked to Dr. Sue, its Executive and Medical Director.
Dr. Sue told me that the organization dealt with a number of aspects of turtle conservation, including rescue, settlement, birth programs, research, and education. Sue explained that southern Ontario is home to a vast majority of turtles in Canada, but is also one of the vastest road networks of the country.
“Ninety percent of injured turtles brought in are caused by cars. These turtles spend a lot of time on land. And they do travel many kilometers on land for a variety of reasons, to find a nesting spot, or to hang out for the summer or winter. Turtles know where they want to go. So, just keep them going in the direction they want to go and you may have saved a turtle’s life,” Dr. Sue said.
Once an injured turtle arrives at the center, there are medical facilities (设备) ready to go, including an X-ray machine. That’s when the team gets to work with healing injuries, and help their patient.
4. Why did the author stop the car
A. To help the turtle. B. To see the thing clearly.
C. To prevent a car accident. D. To find something good.
5. What happened to the turtle
A. It got hurt by people before. B. It was injured a little bit.
C. It was run over by a car. D. It lost its direction.
6. What did Dr. Sue suggest at last
A. Leaving the turtles alone.
B. Making Ontario home to turtles.
C. Changing the road conditions.
D. Helping turtles find nesting spots.
7. What does the underlined word “patient” refer to in the last paragraph
A. The director. B. The driver.
C. The author. D. The turtle.
【答案】4. A 5. B 6. A 7. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了“我”在开车时发现了一只海龟，在帮助它时却伤害了它，所以“我”决定向专业人士请教如何正确地帮助海龟的故事。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“A few seconds later, I realized I was looking at a large turtle (海龟). Afraid of it being crashed by cars, so I pulled over, ran across the road and dragged the turtle to safety.(几秒钟后，我意识到我看到的是一只大乌龟。我怕乌龟被车撞坏，就把车停在路边，跑过马路，把乌龟拖到安全的地方)”可知，“我”把车停在路边，跑过马路是为了把海龟拖到安全的地方。故选A。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“I had heard that the best way to pick up a turtle without hurting it was picking it by the tail in order not to get bitten. So I’d made that big mistake.(我曾听说，要想抓住乌龟而不伤着它，最好的办法就是抓住它的尾巴，以免被它咬伤。所以我犯了一个大错误)”可知，“我”听说抱起海龟且不伤害它的最好方法是抓住它的尾巴，这样就不会被咬到。所以“我”犯了那个很大的错误。由此可推知，海龟因为“我”的错误操作而受伤了。故选 B。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段最后两句“‘Turtles know where they want to go. So, just keep them going in the direction they want to go and you may have saved a turtle’s life,’ Dr. Sue said.(‘海龟知道自己要去哪里。所以，只要让它们朝着它们想去的方向前进，你可能就救了一只海龟的命，’Sue博士说)”可知，Sue博士说海龟知道自己要去哪里，因此，只要让海龟朝着自己想去的方向走，你就可能拯救了一只海龟的性命。由此可知，帮助海龟最好的办法就是不干涉它。故选 A。
【7题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段第一句的“Dr. Sue told me that the organization dealt with a number of aspects of turtle conservation, including rescue, settlement, birth programs, research, and education.(Sue博士告诉我，该组织处理了海龟保护的许多方面，包括救援、安置、生育计划、研究和教育)”和最后一段第一句“Once an injured turtle arrives at the center, there are medical facilities (设备) ready to go, including an X-ray machine.(一旦受伤的海龟到达该中心，就会有医疗设施准备就绪，包括x光机)”可知，一旦受伤的海龟到达海龟保护中心，这里已经准备好了医疗设施，医务人员就可以帮助他们的病人疗伤。由此可推知，此处的画线词“病人”指的是受伤的海龟。故选 D。
C
Have you been exercising and eating healthy, but when you step on the scale, it says you’ve gained a few pounds “That’s normal, and it doesn’t mean that your workouts are not effective”, says Jeffrey A. Dolgan, an exercise physiologist in Miami Beach, Florida.
“A person’s scale mass (质量) is a combination of muscle, fat, bone, blood, and even the air that we carry in our lungs,” he says. “Immediately after a workout routine, the percentage of mass in each body part can shift as much as 15 percent. So if you’re gaining weight while working out and eating healthy, it’s probably not the type of weight gain that you think it is.
The scale can’t tell you how much of your body weight is muscle or fat, which means if your goal is to improve your fitness level, the scale is not the best tool for measuring improvements. When you start to change your body composition with your workouts — by building more muscle mass and decreasing your body fat — your scale weight may increase, while your body fat percentage may decrease. These changes happen over weeks and months (not hours or days) so the scale is useless when tracking them.
You may argue that you weigh a few pounds less after a high intensity (强度) training class. Don’t get too excited—it’s just water loss due to sweat. Water makes up approximately 65 to 90 percent of a person’s weight, and variation in water content of the human body can move the scale by ten pounds or more from day to day.
So ignore the scale and pay more attention to objective measurement tools like body composition. Keep in mind that if you’re exercising but gaining weight, you may actually look slimmer.
8. What can we know from Dolgan’s words from paragraph 2
A. Your weight changes little during a day.
B. Your scale mass is affected by many factors.
C. Your workout is not effective if you gain weight.
D. Your weight is determined only by muscle and fat.
9. What will most probably happen after you exercise and eat healthy for 3 months
A. You will weigh more.
B. Your muscle mass will decrease.
C. Your body fat will increase.
D. Your body composition will change.
10. How much water may a man weighing 150 pounds have in his body
A. 30 pounds. B. 60 pounds.
C. 100 pounds. D. 140 pounds.
11. Which of the following could be the best title for the text
A. Why Do We Gain Weight
B. How to Work Out Effectively
C. What Is the Composition of Our Body
D Why Does My Workout Cause Weight Gain
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章解释了在坚持锻炼并进行健康饮食的同时，体重不降反增的原因。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段第一句““A person’s scale mass (质量) is a combination of muscle, fat, bone, blood, and even the air that we carry in our lungs,” he says.(他说：“一个人的体表质量是肌肉、脂肪、骨头、血液，甚至是我们肺中携带的空气的组合。”)”可知，体重是肌肉、脂肪、骨骼、血液甚至肺里空气的质量总和。由此可推知，体重受多种因素影响。故选B。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段的“When you start to change your body composition with your workouts — by building more muscle mass and decreasing your body fat — your scale weight may increase, while your body fat percentage may decrease.(当你开始通过锻炼来改变你的身体组成——通过增加更多的肌肉量和减少体脂——你的体重可能会增加，而体脂率可能会降低。)”可推知，在坚持锻炼并进行健康饮食后，最有可能发生的是你的身体组成会发生变化。故选D。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Water makes up approximately 65 to 90 percent of a person’s weight(水大约占一个人体重的65%到90%)”可知，人体的含水量约占人体体重的65%到90%。由此可知，体重150磅的人体内含水量应在(150×65%=97.5)磅至(150×90%=135)磅之间。故选C。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“Have you been exercising and eating healthy, but when you step on the scale, it says you’ve gained a few pounds “That’s normal, and it doesn’t mean that your workouts are not effective”, says Jeffrey A. Dolgan, an exercise physiologist in Miami Beach, Florida.(你是否一直在锻炼，饮食也很健康，但当你站在秤上时，秤上显示你胖了几磅？“这很正常，这并不意味着你的锻炼没有效果，”佛罗里达州迈阿密海滩的运动生理学家Jeffrey A. Dolgan说。)”和第二段的“Immediately after a workout routine, the percentage of mass in each body part can shift as much as 15 percent. So if you’re gaining weight while working out and eating healthy, it’s probably not the type of weight gain that you think it is.(在例行锻炼后，身体各个部位的质量百分比会立即发生15%的变化。所以，如果你在锻炼和健康饮食的同时体重增加，这可能不是你想的那种类型的体重增加。)”可知，文章主要分析了坚持锻炼并进行健康饮食后体重不降反增的原因。D项“Why Does My Workout Cause Weight Gain (为什么我锻炼后体重反而增加了？)”能概括文章主要内容，最适合作本文标题。故选D。
D
For people suffering from depression, there’s an all-natural treatment they should use—getting more exercise. It could help fight depression, even if people have a genetic risk, new research shows.
For the study, researchers collected information from nearly 8,000 people and found those with related genes were more likely to have depression over the next two years after examining them. But that was less likely for people who were more active at the study’s start, even if they had a family history of depression. Higher levels of physical activity helped protect even those with the highest genetic risk of depression.
Both high-intensity (高强度) exercise and low-intensity activities were associated with a reduced risk of depression. Adding four hours of exercise a week could lower the risk of a new episode (一段经历) of depression by 17%, according to the study. “Our findings strongly suggest that, when it comes to depression, being physically active has the potential to remove the added risk of future episodes in individuals who are genetically risky,” said lead author Karmel Choi. “On average, about 35 additional minutes of physical activity each day may help people to reduce their risk and protect against future depression episodes.”
Depression is a common mental illness globally, with more than 264 million people affected. “Depression is so ubiquitous, and that underlines the need for effective approaches that can impact as many people as possible,” Choi said. And mental health and primary care providers can use the findings to advise patients that there’s something meaningful they can do to lower their risk of depression.
12. How did the researchers reach their conclusion
A. By analyzing a mass of data.
B. By conducting genetic research.
C. By comparing various levels of activity.
D. By tracking the subjects for many years.
13. What does the study show about depression
A. Physical activity betters medical treatment.
B. Exercise is able to decrease and prevent it.
C. Different levels of exercise intensity matter the same.
D. Exercising 35 minutes daily is the most effective treatment.
14. What does the underlined word “ubiquitous” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Harmful. B. Complex.
C. Unusual. D. Common.
15. What is the purpose of the text
A. To discuss a disease.
B. To introduce a method.
C. To analyze a genetic risk.
D To explain a phenomenon.
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. D 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项关于锻炼有助于减少和预防抑郁症的研究。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“For the study, researchers collected information from nearly 8,000 and found those with related genes were more likely to have depression over the next two years after examining them.”（在这项研究中，研究人员收集了近8000人的相关信息，发现那些携带相关基因的人在接下来的两年内更有可能患上抑郁症。）可知，研究者们收集和研究了近8000人的信息，由此可推知，他们是通过分析大量资料来得出结论的。故选A。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Our findings strongly suggest that, when it comes to depression, being physically active has the potential to remove the added risk of future episodes in individuals who are genetically risky,”（我们的研究结果强烈表明，当涉及到抑郁症时，体育锻炼有可能消除那些有着遗传基因风险的个体未来发作的额外风险。）和“On average, about 35 additional minutes of physical activity each day may help people to reduce their risk and protect against future depression episodes.”（平均而言，每天大约35分钟的额外的体育活动，可以帮助人们降低患抑郁症的风险，防止未来发生抑郁症。）可知，研究表明，体育锻炼能够降低患抑郁症的风险，防止未来抑郁症发作。故选B。
【14题详解】
词义猜测题。根据最后一段“Depression is a common mental illness globally,”（抑郁症是全球常见的精神疾病，）可知，抑郁症很常见，结合划线词所在句“Depression is so ubiquitous, and that underlines the need for effective approaches that can impact as many people as possible,”（抑郁症如此ubiquitous，这就突显出对有效的、能影响尽可能多的人的方法的需要。）可知，ubiquitous与上一句中的common同义，表示“常见的、普通的”。故选D。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“For people suffering from depression, there’s an all-natural treatment they should use—getting more exercise.”（对于患有抑郁症的人来说，他们应该使用一种纯天然的治疗方法——多锻炼。）和全文内容可知，文章主要讲的是锻炼有助于减少和预防抑郁症的发生，由此可知，本文写作目的是介绍一种减少和预防抑郁症的策略。故选B。
第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Ask most people which day of the week they fear the most and the answer is likely to be Monday. The first day of the working week can make us depressed. ____16____
The most depressing day of the year is the third Monday in January, when it’s cold and dark outside. This day was named “Blue Monday” by psychologist Cliff Arnall. Even if there was little science behind Blue Monday, it’s probably true that the sound of our alarm clock on any Monday morning means the coming of a new working week and possibly the end of our weekend of fun. ____17____ It’s what psychologists call an emotional shift, and no other part of the week has a transition(过渡) like it.
Apparently, Monday means the end of weekend lie-ins. ____18____ According to a website, “If you can’t stand your job, then the Monday blues can be very real.” And it can be especially difficult to start another seemingly endless workweek. Your case of the Mondays can have a negative impact on your performance, productivity and the people around you.
____19____ Feeling a bit low shouldn’t be confused with more serious depression, caused by other factors. Claudia Hammond, an author and presenter, argues that this low feeling might be untrue. ____20____ She mentions an Australian study of how people reflected on their mood and found the day that scored the lowest was in fact Wednesdays. So, when Monday comes, maybe we should give it a second chance!
A. But is Monday as bad as we like to think it is
B. What exactly makes us feel down remains unknown.
C. Weekends are definitely happy days in all countries.
D. That’s why the feeling is described as the Monday blues.
E. There is a strong cultural idea that we don’t like Mondays.
F. Our Monday mood can be based on a direct comparison to the day before.
G. It’s back to the routine and the realization that there are five days of working ahead.
【答案】16. D 17. F 18. G 19. A 20. E
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文，本文围绕 “什么让星期一变得郁闷” 以及这种感觉是否只存在于我们的脑海里展开讨论。
【16题详解】
根据上文“The first day of the working week can make us depressed.(工作周的第一天会让我们感到沮丧)”可知，工作周的第一天会让人感到沮丧，分析选项，D项“这就是为什么这种感觉被称为‘星期一忧郁症’”符合语境，与上文存在因果关系。故选D。
【17题详解】
下文“It’s what psychologists call an emotional shift, and no other part of the week has a transition (过渡) like it.(这就是心理学家所说的情绪转变，一周中没有其他时间有这样的转变)”提到情绪转变，所以空处应是提及星期一和前一天的情绪，F项“我们星期一的心情可以建立在与前一天的直接比较之上”符合语境。故选F。
【18题详解】
根据上文“Apparently, Monday means the end of weekend lie-ins.(显然，周一意味着周末睡懒觉的结束)”可知，此处是描述星期一意味着什么，G项“回到日常生活中，意识到还有五天的工作要做”与上文意义一致，星期一意味着周末睡懒觉的结束，意味着开始回归一周的工作，故选G。
【19题详解】
根据下文“Feeling a bit low shouldn’t be confused with more serious depression, caused by other factors. Claudia Hammond, an author and presenter, argues that this low feeling might be untrue.(感觉有点低落不应该与更严重的抑郁症相混淆，后者是由其他因素引起的。作家兼主持人Claudia Hammond认为，这种低沉的感觉可能是不真实的)”可知，情绪低落不等同于抑郁，这种感觉可能是不真实的，所以星期一忧郁症不像我们想象的那样糟糕，A项“但是，星期一真的像我们想象的那么糟糕吗？”符合语境。故选A。
【20题详解】
根据下文“She mentions an Australian study of how people reflected on their mood and found the day that scored the lowest was in fact Wednesdays. So, when Monday comes, maybe we should give it a second chance!(她提到了一项关于人们如何反思自己情绪的澳大利亚研究，发现得分最低的日子实际上是星期三。所以，当星期一到来的时候，也许我们应该再给它一次机会)”可知，一项研究发现人们情绪最低落的时间是星期三，所以我们应该再给星期一一次机会，由此可推知，空处应是提及人们不喜欢星期一，所以下文才说再给星期一一次机会，E项“有一种强烈的文化观念认为我们不喜欢星期一”符合语境，故选E。

The ___32___ part about the whole thing, Mike said, was during ___33___ midterm seasons when his family would constantly ask him for help with tricky (棘手的) school-related issues. He had his own ___34___ as well, but he couldn’t tell them. That, he said, ___35___ many late nights at the computer.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了鄱阳湖周边的一条公路。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：在中国南方，有一条著名的公路横穿鄱阳湖，鄱阳湖位于中国江西省的北部，被称为中国第二大湖。中国人也称它为水下最美的路。根据句子结构分析可知，此处build为非谓语动词作定语，修饰名词road，因为road与built是被动关系，因此需使用过去分词的形式。故填built。
37题详解】
考查形容词最高级。句意：在中国南方，有一条著名的公路横穿鄱阳湖，鄱阳湖位于中国江西省的北部，被称为中国第二大湖。中国人也称它为水下最美的路。根据句意可知，此处large修饰lake表示第二大湖，因此需要使用最高级形式。故填largest。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：这条路在每年五月底一定会吸引很多人的注意。根据短语“be sure to do”意为“一定会…”，可知此处需要使用不定式形式。故填to attract。
【39题详解】
考查名词。句意：很多人出于好奇而来。根据句子结构分析可知，此处需要使用名词作介词of的宾语，故填curiosity。
【40题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：湖的水位与路面很接近，当人们开车前行时，前面的景色很开阔明亮。根据句子结构分析可知，此处为关系词引导非限制性定语从句，先行词为前面一句话，因从句中缺少主语，所以需使用关系代词。故填which。
【41题详解】
考查副词。句意：这种感觉简直太棒了！根据句子结构分析可知，此处需要使用副词修饰形容词wonderful，故填simply。
【42题详解】
考查转折连词。句意：在接下来的几个月里，这条路不是在水面上，而是在水下。当鄱阳湖水位开始上升时，路面变得看不见了。根据句意可知，“above the surface(在水面上)”与“under the water(在水下)”是相反的位置，因此需要使用转折连词。故填but。
【43题详解】
考查介词/条件状语连词。句意：然而,司机还可以通过看固定在道路两边的防撞护栏来安全地通过路面。/如果看着固定在道路两边的防撞护栏，司机也能安全通过路面。根据句意可知，此处可以通过介词+doing的形式表示“通过某种方式”，即“通过看固定在道路两边的防撞护栏来安全地通过路面”，也可以使用if表示条件，即“如果看着固定在道路两边的防撞护栏”也能通过。故填by或if。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：对于寻求刺激的司机来说，这就像驾驶一艘水陆两栖的超级汽车。根据句子结构分析可知，此处drive为非谓语动词作介词like的宾语，因此需使用动名词的形式。故填driving。
【45题详解】
考查一般将来时的被动语态。句意：再过几天，整个道路都会被不断上涨的洪水淹没。根据时间状语“in a few days”意为“几天之后”可知，此处需要使用一般将来时，因为主语road与flood是被动关系，因此需要使用被动语态，故填will be flooded。

第二节 （满分25分）
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。
Mary Lee seemed to have everything. She was very beautiful with a wonderful figure and an attractive face. She was very rich. Her clothes were better than anyone else’s and she had more of them. Her books were always new and expensive as were her pens, school bags and bicycle. She was very clever too and without appearing to do very much work. She was always the first in all the examinations and always answered all the questions, while the rest of the class were still thinking.
With all this, or really because of all this, no one liked Mary Lee. She was too good, too clever and she was also very proud. No one was quite good enough to talk to her or to be seen with her or to be her friend. And so, with all her proud ways and riches and brains, she was lonely but she did not care because she was always the best in everything. She was like a princess in the class. She always thought that the other students kept their distance from her because she was too excellent. “Lions and tigers are always lonely, and only the weak get together,” she told herself.
As the end of term drew near, the pupils including Mary Lee began to think about the most important prize of all. This was the prize, offered by the principal, for the best essay to be written on one of two subjects: Happiness and Friendship. All the teachers and pupils paid close attention to the prize, for it was really a great honor. “I needn’t worry about that,” thought Mary Lee, as the others began to read and to think about the essay. “I shall easily win. After all, my compositions are always better than the other students’.”
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
“Pride goes before a fall,” they say and it certainly did in the case of poor Mary Lee.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Mary Lee suddenly realized that how silly she had been.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】参考范文：
Paragraph 1:
“Pride goes before a fall,” they say and it certainly did in the case of poor Mary Lee.Happiness and Friendship were the two subjects for the essay but Mary Lee knew little about either of them. As she scratched her head for ideas and wrote something aimlessly with her pen, she realized that she didn’t have any friends to speak of and that she was very far from being happy. She had no idea, so she did not win the prize. Tears came into her eyes when she knew she was a loser this time.
Paragraph 2:
Mary Lee suddenly realized that how silly she had been.She felt so silly because all her money and her cleverness seemed nothing compared with not winning the prize. “I mustn’t be too proud or too sure,” she thought. “The fall is too hard for me, because I have been too proud all the time.” So she decided to make a change. She became a very pleasant person after that and her fellow pupils became her friends. She still won many prizes, but she never forgot the valuable lesson that the one prize she lost had taught her.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Mary Lee生活富足，她不仅长得漂亮，而且学习好，Mary Lee非常骄傲且自负，即使没有朋友，她也不在乎。期末临近，同学们都想获得最重要的奖项，写出关于友谊或幸福的最优秀的文章的人才能获奖，Mary Lee确信自己能获奖。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容““骄者必败，”他们说，在可怜的玛丽·李身上确实如此。”可知，第一段可描写Mary Lee失败了，她遭遇了什么，为什么会失败，幸福和友谊对她的失败有无影响。
②由第二段首句内容“玛丽·李突然意识到自己是多么愚蠢。”可知，第二段可描写Mary Lee会不会意识到自己错，她打算怎么改正，同学们的反应和最后的结论。
2.续写线索：Mary Lee不会写文章——Mary Lee意识到自己的问题——哭——Mary Lee决定改变——改变
3.词汇激活
行为类
①意识到：realize that.../be aware that...
②哭：tears come into one’s eyes/tears fill one’s eyes
③做出改变：make a change/make a transformation
情绪类
①不高兴：far from being happy/be very upset
②骄傲：be proud/be arrogant
【点睛】[高分句型1] As she scratched her head for ideas and wrote something aimlessly with her pen, she realized that she didn’t have any friends to speak of and that she was very far from being happy. (由as引导的时间状语从句和that引导的宾语从句)
[高分句型2] She still won many prizes, but she never forgot the valuable lesson that the one prize she lost had taught her. (由关系代词that引导限制性定语从句)

One night, as I was driving down the road, I found something was sitting in the middle of the road. A few seconds later, I realized I was looking at a large turtle (海龟). Afraid of it being crashed by cars, so I pulled over, ran across the road and dragged the turtle to safety. But I’d made one big mistake.
I had heard that the best way to pick up a turtle without hurting it was picking it by the tail in order not to get bitten. So I’d made that big mistake. While the turtle turned out OK generally, I was determined to figure out how to move a turtle properly. I needed to find someone who dealt with turtles. I found the Ontario Turtle Conservation Centre. I talked to Dr. Sue, its Executive and Medical Director.
Dr. Sue told me that the organization dealt with a number of aspects of turtle conservation, including rescue, settlement, birth programs, research, and education. Sue explained that southern Ontario is home to a vast majority of turtles in Canada, but is also one of the vastest road networks of the country.
“Ninety percent of injured turtles brought in are caused by cars. These turtles spend a lot of time on land. And they do travel many kilometers on land for a variety of reasons, to find a nesting spot, or to hang out for the summer or winter. Turtles know where they want to go. So, just keep them going in the direction they want to go and you may have saved a turtle’s life,” Dr. Sue said.
Once an injured turtle arrives at the center, there are medical facilities (设备) ready to go, including an X-ray machine. That’s when the team gets to work with healing injuries, and help their patient.
4. Why did the author stop the car
A. To help the turtle. B. To see the thing clearly.
C. To prevent a car accident. D. To find something good.
5. What happened to the turtle
A. It got hurt by people before. B. It was injured a little bit.
C. It was run over by a car. D. It lost its direction.
6. What did Dr. Sue suggest at last
A. Leaving the turtles alone.
B. Making Ontario home to turtles.
C. Changing the road conditions.
D. Helping turtles find nesting spots.
7. What does the underlined word “patient” refer to in the last paragraph
A. The director. B. The driver.
C. The author. D. The turtle.
C
Have you been exercising and eating healthy, but when you step on the scale, it says you’ve gained a few pounds “That’s normal, and it doesn’t mean that your workouts are not effective”, says Jeffrey A. Dolgan, an exercise physiologist in Miami Beach, Florida.
“A person’s scale mass (质量) is a combination of muscle, fat, bone, blood, and even the air that we carry in our lungs,” he says. “Immediately after a workout routine, the percentage of mass in each body part can shift as much as 15 percent. So if you’re gaining weight while working out and eating healthy, it’s probably not the type of weight gain that you think it is.
The scale can’t tell you how much of your body weight is muscle or fat, which means if your goal is to improve your fitness level, the scale is not the best tool for measuring improvements. When you start to change your body composition with your workouts — by building more muscle mass and decreasing your body fat — your scale weight may increase, while your body fat percentage may decrease. These changes happen over weeks and months (not hours or days) so the scale is useless when tracking them.
You may argue that you weigh a few pounds less after a high intensity (强度) training class. Don’t get too excited—it’s just water loss due to sweat. Water makes up approximately 65 to 90 percent of a person’s weight, and variation in water content of the human body can move the scale by ten pounds or more from day to day.
So ignore the scale and pay more attention to objective measurement tools like body composition. Keep in mind that if you’re exercising but gaining weight, you may actually look slimmer.
8. What can we know from Dolgan’s words from paragraph 2
A. Your weight changes little during a day.
B. Your scale mass is affected by many factors.
C. Your workout is not effective if you gain weight.
D. Your weight is determined only by muscle and fat.
9. What will most probably happen after you exercise and eat healthy for 3 months
A. You will weigh more.
B. Your muscle mass will decrease.
C. Your body fat will increase.
D. Your body composition will change.
10. How much water may a man weighing 150 pounds have in his body
A. 30 pounds. B. 60 pounds.
C. 100 pounds. D. 140 pounds.
11. Which of the following could be the best title for the text
A. Why Do We Gain Weight
B. How to Work Out Effectively
C. What Is the Composition of Our Body
D. Why Does My Workout Cause Weight Gain
D
For people suffering from depression, there’s an all-natural treatment they should use—getting more exercise. It could help fight depression, even if people have a genetic risk, new research shows.
For the study, researchers collected information from nearly 8,000 people and found those with related genes were more likely to have depression over the next two years after examining them. But that was less likely for people who were more active at the study’s start, even if they had a family history of depression. Higher levels of physical activity helped protect even those with the highest genetic risk of depression.
Both high-intensity (高强度) exercise and low-intensity activities were associated with a reduced risk of depression. Adding four hours of exercise a week could lower the risk of a new episode (一段经历) of depression by 17%, according to the study. “Our findings strongly suggest that, when it comes to depression, being physically active has the potential to remove the added risk of future episodes in individuals who are genetically risky,” said lead author Karmel Choi. “On average, about 35 additional minutes of physical activity each day may help people to reduce their risk and protect against future depression episodes.”
Depression is a common mental illness globally, with more than 264 million people affected. “Depression is so ubiquitous, and that underlines the need for effective approaches that can impact as many people as possible,” Choi said. And mental health and primary care providers can use the findings to advise patients that there’s something meaningful they can do to lower their risk of depression.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Ask most people which day of the week they fear the most and the answer is likely to be Monday. The first day of the working week can make us depressed. ____16____
The most depressing day of the year is the third Monday in January, when it’s cold and dark outside. This day was named “Blue Monday” by psychologist Cliff Arnall. Even if there was little science behind Blue Monday, it’s probably true that the sound of our alarm clock on any Monday morning means the coming of a new working week and possibly the end of our weekend of fun. ____17____ It’s what psychologists call an emotional shift, and no other part of the week has a transition(过渡) like it.
Apparently, Monday means the end of weekend lie-ins. ____18____ According to a website, “If you can’t stand your job, then the Monday blues can be very real.” And it can be especially difficult to start another seemingly endless workweek. Your case of the Mondays can have a negative impact on your performance, productivity and the people around you.
____19____ Feeling a bit low shouldn’t be confused with more serious depression, caused by other factors. Claudia Hammond, an author and presenter, argues that this low feeling might be untrue. ____20____ She mentions an Australian study of how people reflected on their mood and found the day that scored the lowest was in fact Wednesdays. So, when Monday comes, maybe we should give it a second chance!
A. But is Monday as bad as we like to think it is
B. What exactly makes us feel down remains unknown.
C Weekends are definitely happy days in all countries.
D. That’s why the feeling is described as the Monday blues.
E. There is a strong cultural idea that we don’t like Mondays.
F. Our Monday mood can be based on a direct comparison to the day before.
G. It’s back to the routine and the realization that there are five days of working ahead.

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。
Mary Lee seemed to have everything. She was very beautiful with a wonderful figure and an attractive face. She was very rich. Her clothes were better than anyone else’s and she had more of them. Her books were always new and expensive as were her pens, school bags and bicycle. She was very clever too and without appearing to do very much work. She was always the first in all the examinations and always answered all the questions, while the rest of the class were still thinking.
With all this, or really because of all this, no one liked Mary Lee. She was too good, too clever and she was also very proud. No one was quite good enough to talk to her or to be seen with her or to be her friend. And so, with all her proud ways and riches and brains, she was lonely but she did not care because she was always the best in everything. She was like a princess in the class. She always thought that the other students kept their distance from her because she was too excellent. “Lions and tigers are always lonely, and only the weak get together,” she told herself.
As the end of term drew near, the pupils including Mary Lee began to think about the most important prize of all. This was the prize, offered by the principal, for the best essay to be written on one of two subjects: Happiness and Friendship. All the teachers and pupils paid close attention to the prize, for it was really a great honor. “I needn’t worry about that,” thought Mary Lee, as the others began to read and to think about the essay. “I shall easily win. After all, my compositions are always better than the other students’.”
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
“Pride goes before a fall,” they say and it certainly did in the case of poor Mary Lee.

Mary Lee suddenly realized that how silly she had been.
