If there were an app on your phone that could improve your memory, would you try it Who wouldn't want a better memory After all, our memory can be easily damaged by diseases, injuries, mental health conditions and, most particularly for all of us, aging.
Nowadays, there are a large number of apps that provide memory training on our phones. Can they help you remember to take medicine, do better on a school exam, remember the name of the person whom you met yesterday Some scientists question whether this is possible. Undoubtedly, many of the brain training companies today exaggerate the potential benefits of using their apps.
Scientists have provided evidence that brain training does not benefit everyone in the same way. It is suggested that little consideration has been given to who would benefit most from those brain training apps. Will it only be those who have some form of memory impairment（缺陷），or can it also help those eager for self-improvement even though they are already functioning very well
To overcome these limitations, our team has started a new study aiming to find 30,000 volunteers to help us determine which form of training may be best for individuals. Our goal is to avoid a one — size — fits — all approach. Instead of focusing on the simple question of whether brain training works, we are looking to engage the whole population in a new challenge to test for whom brain training works, and under which conditions.
8. What can affect our memory in particular
A. Getting ill. B. Getting old. C. Being upset. D. Being injured.
9. Which word best describes the scientists' attitude to memory training apps
A. Supportive. B. Doubtful. C. Neutral. D. Indifferent.
10 Why did the author's team conduct the research
A. To test whether brain training works.
B. To develop a training that suits all the people.
C. To compete with other memory training organizations.
D. To find the best form of training for different people.
11. Where is the article probably taken from
A. A fashion magazine. B. A tour guide.
C. A science website. D. A personal blog.

People often have the impression that Chinese characters are extremely difficult to learn. In fact, if you were to try to learn how to write Chinese characters, you would find that they are not nearly as difficult as you may have imagined. And they certainly qualify as forming one of the most attractive, beautiful, logical, and scientifically constructed writing systems in the world. Each stroke (笔画) has its own special significance. If you are familiar with the rules of Chinese characters, you will find it very easy to remember even the most complicated looking character, and never miss a stroke.
The earliest known examples of Chinese written characters in their developed form are carved into tortoise shells and ox bones. Most of these characters are pictographs. Archaeologists of various countries have learned that most early writing systems went through a pictographic stage, as did the Egyptian hieroglyphics. Most writing systems, however, eventually developed a phonetic (语音的) alphabet to represent the sounds of spoken language rather than visual images observed in the physical world.
One notable feature of Chinese characters is the “radical”. “Radical” in English means “root”. For example, the characters yu “language”, shuo “talk”, and lun “discuss” all share the yan radical, which means “language,” and gives the reader a clue to the meaning of the character as a whole. The characters xiu “rotten”, shan “cedar”, tao “peach” and lin “forest” , all contain the mu “wood” or “tree” radical, indicating one of their shared key characteristics. If you know the radical of a character, you can usually get a general idea of the meaning of the character. Although there is a theoretical total of almost 50,000 written Chinese characters, only about 5,000 of these are frequently used; and the total number of radicals is only 214. So learning to read and write Chinese is not nearly so difficult a task as it may at first seem.
12. According to the author, Chinese characters are ________.
A. extremely difficult to learn
B. as difficult as you may have imagined
C. difficult to remember
D. scientifically constructed
13. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage
A. All the Chinese characters are pictographs
B. Some strokes are more important than others.
C. There are rules in forming the Chinese characters.
D. Some writing systems eventually developed a phonetic alphabet.
14. Which radical do the characters chi “eat”, he “drink”, wen “kiss”, and wei “feed” contain
A. The kou “mouth” radical.
B. The mu “wood” or “tree” radical.
C. The zu “foot” radical.
D. The yan “language” radical
15. The passage is mainly about ________.
A. the Chinese writing system B. the strokes of the Chinese characters
C. pictographs D. the radical of the Chinese characters
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。
As a speaker of 10 languages I know the benefits of speaking more than one language. Actually, it is not a big challenge to learn languages. We only have to change the way we learn them. ___16___
Language learning is hard.
It is only difficult to learn a language if you don’t want to. ___17___ What you mostly need to do is spend some time listening and reading. Believe me, it is that simple. I have done it many times. Soon you feel the satisfaction of understanding another language. Before you know it you start speaking.
___18___
No, you don’t. Anyone who wants to, can learn. In Sweden and Holland most people speak more than one language. They can’t just all be gifted at languages. Foreign athletes in North America usually learn to speak English faster than people in more formal learning environments. In language learning it is attitude that determines success.
You have to live where the language is spoken.
Some immigrants (移民) to North America never learn to speak more than broken English. Yet we meet people in other countries who speak perfect English. In 1968, I learned to speak Mandarin fluently while living in Hong Kong, where few people spoke it. ___19___ You can download it to your iPod and listen. Where you live is not a problem.
I would love to learn but I don’t have the time.
How about the time you spend waiting in line, doing things around the house, going for a walk ___20___ Once you get started, even 10 or 15 minutes a day will soon grow to 30 minutes a day, or one hour. If you believe you will achieve great results, and if you enjoy doing it, as I do, you will find the time.
I believe if you can avoid these traps we will surely become masters of language learning.
A. The following are some tips for you to follow.
B. You have to have a gift for learning languages.
C. Learning a language takes time, but is not difficult
D. We need to avoid some common misunderstandings
E. Languages can only be learned instead of being taught.

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一个完整的短文。
One day my grandfather gave me a gift — a piggy bank. It had an opening through which one could put money in, but the opening was not big enough to reach in and get the money out. The only way to get at the money was to break the piggy bank open. My grandfather explained that was the whole idea; the piggy bank would help save my money so that, at the end of the year,I might have enough for that bike I dreamt about. He asked if I would put some of the money he gave me into the piggy bank. I agreed immediately and promised that I wouldn't break it open until I could afford my dream bike.
Whenever he gave me a little bit of money, he would say, "This is for spending. But you can save some and put it in the piggy bank if you want to save it up." When he gave me larger amounts, it was clearly for saving in the piggy bank. For some time, this worked fine. I loved shaking the piggy bank and hearing the sound of the coins. As it became heavier, I grew more excited, dreaming about buying my new bike, and all the adventures I could have on it
Whenever I wanted to take some money from the piggy bank to buy delicious ice-creams or beautiful pens,I would imagine riding my bike on the street,and thinking of that, my thoughts about ice-creams or pens went away. So for almost six months, I only put money into the piggy bank without taking any out. I thought I wouldn't break my piggy bank for anything. But one day something unexpected happened. I saw a piece of news on the television that a serious earthquake had happened in a nearby province. As many houses were destroyed, a lot of children became homeless. Seeing their shabby clothes and crying faces, I was sleepless that night.

If there were an app on your phone that could improve your memory, would you try it Who wouldn't want a better memory After all, our memory can be easily damaged by diseases, injuries, mental health conditions and, most particularly for all of us, aging.
Nowadays, there are a large number of apps that provide memory training on our phones. Can they help you remember to take medicine, do better on a school exam, remember the name of the person whom you met yesterday Some scientists question whether this is possible. Undoubtedly, many of the brain training companies today exaggerate the potential benefits of using their apps.
Scientists have provided evidence that brain training does not benefit everyone in the same way. It is suggested that little consideration has been given to who would benefit most from those brain training apps. Will it only be those who have some form of memory impairment（缺陷），or can it also help those eager for self-improvement even though they are already functioning very well
To overcome these limitations, our team has started a new study aiming to find 30,000 volunteers to help us determine which form of training may be best for individuals. Our goal is to avoid a one — size — fits — all approach. Instead of focusing on the simple question of whether brain training works, we are looking to engage the whole population in a new challenge to test for whom brain training works, and under which conditions.
8. What can affect our memory in particular
A. Getting ill. B. Getting old. C. Being upset. D. Being injured.
9. Which word best describes the scientists' attitude to memory training apps
A. Supportive. B. Doubtful. C. Neutral. D. Indifferent.
10. Why did the author's team conduct the research
A. To test whether brain training works.
B. To develop a training that suits all the people.
C. To compete with other memory training organizations.
D. To find the best form of training for different people.
11. Where is the article probably taken from
A. A fashion magazine. B. A tour guide.
C. A science website. D. A personal blog.
【答案】8. B 9. B 10. D 11. C
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇议论文。主要讨论了大脑训练的可行性。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“After all, our memory can be easily damaged by diseases, injuries, mental health conditions and, most particularly for all of us, aging.”（毕竟，疾病，伤害，心理健康状况，尤其是对我们所有人而言，衰老很容易破坏我们的记忆。）可知衰老尤其能影响我们的记忆。故选B项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“Undoubtedly, many of the brain training companies today exaggerate the potential benefits of using their apps.”（无疑，当今许多大脑培训公司夸大了使用其应用程序的潜在好处。）可推知科学家对记忆训练应用软件的态度质疑的。A.Supportive支持的；B.Doubtful怀疑的；C.Neutral中立的；D.Indifferent漠不关心的。结合选项翻译可知，B项怀疑的符合语境。故选B项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“To overcome these limitations, our team has started a new study aiming to find 30,000 volunteers to help us determine which form of training may be best for individuals.”（为克服这些限制，我们的团队开始了一项新研究，旨在寻找30,000名志愿者，以帮助我们确定哪种培训形式最适合个人。）可推知作者团队进行研究的原因是为了寻找适合不同人群的最佳培训形式。故选D项。

People often have the impression that Chinese characters are extremely difficult to learn. In fact, if you were to try to learn how to write Chinese characters, you would find that they are not nearly as difficult as you may have imagined. And they certainly qualify as forming one of the most attractive, beautiful, logical, and scientifically constructed writing systems in the world. Each stroke (笔画) has its own special significance. If you are familiar with the rules of Chinese characters, you will find it very easy to remember even the most complicated looking character, and never miss a stroke.
The earliest known examples of Chinese written characters in their developed form are carved into tortoise shells and ox bones. Most of these characters are pictographs. Archaeologists of various countries have learned that most early writing systems went through a pictographic stage, as did the Egyptian hieroglyphics. Most writing systems, however, eventually developed a phonetic (语音的) alphabet to represent the sounds of spoken language rather than visual images observed in the physical world.
One notable feature of Chinese characters is the “radical”. “Radical” in English means “root”. For example, the characters yu “language”, shuo “talk”, and lun “discuss” all share the yan radical, which means “language,” and gives the reader a clue to the meaning of the character as a whole. The characters xiu “rotten”, shan “cedar”, tao “peach” and lin “forest” , all contain the mu “wood” or “tree” radical, indicating one of their shared key characteristics. If you know the radical of a character, you can usually get a general idea of the meaning of the character. Although there is a theoretical total of almost 50,000 written Chinese characters, only about 5,000 of these are frequently used; and the total number of radicals is only 214. So learning to read and write Chinese is not nearly so difficult a task as it may at first seem.
12. According to the author, Chinese characters are ________.
A. extremely difficult to learn
B. as difficult as you may have imagined
C. difficult to remember
D. scientifically constructed
13. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage
A. All the Chinese characters are pictographs
B. Some strokes are more important than others.
C. There are rules in forming the Chinese characters.
D. Some writing systems eventually developed a phonetic alphabet.
14. Which radical do the characters chi “eat”, he “drink”, wen “kiss”, and wei “feed” contain
A. The kou “mouth” radical.
B. The mu “wood” or “tree” radical.
C. The zu “foot” radical.
D. The yan “language” radical
15. The passage is mainly about ________.
A. the Chinese writing system B. the strokes of the Chinese characters
C. pictographs D. the radical of the Chinese characters
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. A 15. A

【14题详解】
推理判断题。题目询问我们题干中出现的汉字包含哪个部首，题干中“chi “eat”, he “drink”, wen “kiss”, and wei “feed””分别代表汉字“吃、喝、吻和喂”。由此可知，这些汉字包含的部首是“口”，“The kou “mouth” radical”表示“部首‘口’”。故选A项。
【15题详解】

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。
As a speaker of 10 languages I know the benefits of speaking more than one language. Actually, it is not a big challenge to learn languages. We only have to change the way we learn them. ___16___
Language learning is hard.
It is only difficult to learn a language if you don’t want to. ___17___ What you mostly need to do is spend some time listening and reading. Believe me, it is that simple. I have done it many times. Soon you feel the satisfaction of understanding another language. Before you know it you start speaking.
___18___
No, you don’t. Anyone who wants to, can learn. In Sweden and Holland most people speak more than one language. They can’t just all be gifted at languages. Foreign athletes in North America usually learn to speak English faster than people in more formal learning environments. In language learning it is attitude that determines success.
You have to live where the language is spoken.
Some immigrants (移民) to North America never learn to speak more than broken English. Yet we meet people in other countries who speak perfect English. In 1968, I learned to speak Mandarin fluently while living in Hong Kong, where few people spoke it. ___19___ You can download it to your iPod and listen. Where you live is not a problem.
I would love to learn but I don’t have the time.
How about the time you spend waiting in line, doing things around the house, going for a walk ___20___ Once you get started, even 10 or 15 minutes a day will soon grow to 30 minutes a day, or one hour. If you believe you will achieve great results, and if you enjoy doing it, as I do, you will find the time.
I believe if you can avoid these traps, we will surely become masters of language learning.
A. The following are some tips for you to follow.
B. You have to have a gift for learning languages.
C. Learning a language takes time, but is not difficult
D. We need to avoid some common misunderstandings
E. Languages can only be learned instead of being taught.
F. Why not use that time to listen to a language on your iPod
G. With the Internet, language content is available to anyone with a computer.
【答案】16. D 17. C 18. B 19. G 20. F

根据下文各段小标题“Language learning is hard.”（学习语言很难。），“You have to live where the language is spoken.”（你必须要到说英语的地方生活。）和“I would love to learn but I don’t have the time.”（我想学，但是我没有时间。）可知，接下来要介绍的是对语言学习的一些误解。D选项“我们需要避免一些常见的误解。”承上启下，引出下文内容。故选D。
【17题详解】
根据上文“It is only difficult to learn a language if you don’t want to.”（如果你不想学，那么学习语言就是很难的。）可知，作者想说的是学习语言实际上不难。C选项“学习语言需要花时间，但是不难。”和上文意思一致。故选C。
【18题详解】
根据下文“Anyone who wants to, can learn. In Sweden and Holland most people speak more than one language. They can’t just all be gifted at languages.”（任何想学的人都可以学习。在瑞典和荷兰，大多数人会说不止一种语言。他们不可能都有语言天赋。）可知，这一段作者是解释学习语言和天赋的关系，语言学习与天赋无关。B选项“你必须是在学习语言上很有天赋”是对语言学习的一种误解。故选B。
【19题详解】
根据下文“You can download it to your iPod and listen.”（你可以把它下载到你的播放器上去听。）可知，这里提到代词it，所以上文要说明it是指什么。G选项“有了网络，电脑里的语言内容对任何人都是可以用的。”提到了it的指代对象“语言内容”，和下文意思一致。故选G。
【20题详解】
根据上文“How about the time you spend waiting in line, doing things around the house, going for a walk ”（你等车的时间，在房子里做事的时候，散步的时候怎么样？）可知，作者是在指出这些时间是可以用来学习语言的。F选项“为什么不用这个时间用你的播放器来听语言呢？”和上文意思一致。故选F。

【解析】
【分析】本文是说明文，告诉我们保护视力的重要性以及保护视力的方法。
【36题详解】

【37题详解】
考查名词单复数。句意：好消息是，如果我们每天做几件简单的事情，就可以保护我们的视力。a few意为“少数几个”，后接可数名词的复数形式，故填things。

【42题详解】
考查形容词。句意：当我们处理危险化学品时，保护我们的眼睛是很重要的。修饰名词chemicals，应该用形容词；danger 是名词，形容词是dangerous。故填dangerous。

44题详解】
考查固定短语。句意：医生建议我们每十五到三十分钟休息一次。短语take a short break “短暂休息一会”。故填a 。
【45题详解】
考查主谓一致。句意：有良好的视力是很重要的。动名词短语Having good eyesight作主语谓语动词应该用单数；根据语境，句子说的客观事实，用一般现在时。故填is。
【点睛】当不定式动名词或者从句做主语时，谓语动词应该用单数
To obey the law is everyone's duty. 遵守法律是每个人的职责。(不定式作主语)
Eating too many sweets has ruined your teeth. 吃太多的糖毁掉了你的牙齿。(动名词短语作主语)
Why he did it was very clear. 他为什么那样做还不清楚。(从句作主语)

One day my grandfather gave me a gift — a piggy bank. It had an opening through which one could put money in, but the opening was not big enough to reach in and get the money out. The only way to get at the money was to break the piggy bank open. My grandfather explained that was the whole idea; the piggy bank would help save my money so that, at the end of the year,I might have enough for that bike I dreamt about. He asked if I would put some of the money he gave me into the piggy bank. I agreed immediately and promised that I wouldn't break it open until I could afford my dream bike.
Whenever he gave me a little bit of money, he would say, "This is for spending. But you can save some and put it in the piggy bank if you want to save it up." When he gave me larger amounts, it was clearly for saving in the piggy bank. For some time, this worked fine. I loved shaking the piggy bank and hearing the sound of the coins. As it became heavier, I grew more excited, dreaming about buying my new bike, and all the adventures I could have on it
Whenever I wanted to take some money from the piggy bank to buy delicious ice-creams or beautiful pens,I would imagine riding my bike on the street,and thinking of that, my thoughts about ice-creams or pens went away. So for almost six months, I only put money into the piggy bank without taking any out. I thought I wouldn't break my piggy bank for anything. But one day something unexpected happened. I saw a piece of news on the television that a serious earthquake had happened in a nearby province. As many houses were destroyed, a lot of children became homeless. Seeing their shabby clothes and crying faces, I was sleepless that night.

【答案】I knew I should do something. I went to my piggy bank and was about to break it and withdraw money when my mind came back to the bike I wanted to buy, and I hesitated. Thinking of the look in the eyes of the children hoping for help in the earthquake, I grabbed the piggy bank and threw it to the ground. Suddenly, the coins rolled all over the floor. "Yes, those children need help and need the money more." I said to myself.
My grandfather was surprised by my behavior. When he realized what had happened, he fondly touched my head and said, "Good boy, you did the right thing. Grandpa is proud of you." He continued, "My dear grandson, you deserve that bicycle. As a bonus, let's buy that bike together now. Then, go for a spring outing by bike. “Thank you, Grandpa. ” I was overwhelmed with happiness.
