In 1969, watching the landing of Apollo 11 on the Moon on TV from his parents’ farm in Canada, Chris Hadfield was amazed and excited. On that day, at only nine years old, Chris made the most important decision of his life: He was going to be an astronaut.
There wasn’t even a training program in Canada to become an astronaut, but Chris was determined. He spent a great deal of time studying and fixing engines. After school he joined the Canadian army where he learned to fly many different types of planes. Chris did a lot of research for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration(NASA)in the United States and had special training. Finally, in 1995, he rode his first rocket into space.
Chris became the first Canadian astronaut to walk in space, and went on a number of space missions throughout his career. The most memorable was his five-month stay on the International Space Station(ISS)as commander, between December 2012 and May 2013. He posted on social media thousands of photos of Earth and videos of himself explaining how things work in zero gravity. His followers could watch him sleeping, brushing his teeth, washing his hands, or preparing “space” snacks in zero gravity, which turned him into a social media phenomenon.
Today Chris travels the world giving talks about his work. He once said, “Decide in your heart of hearts what really excites and challenges you, and start moving your life in that direction. Every decision you make, from what you eat to what you do with your time tonight, turns you into who you are tomorrow. Look at who you want to be, and start sculpting yourself into that person. You may not get exactly where you thought you’d be, but you will be doing things that suit you in a profession you believe in. Don’t let life randomly kick you into the adult you don’t want to become. ”
4. What led Chris to make up his mind to be an astronaut
A. The life on his parents’farm. B. Apollo 11’s landing on the Moon.
C. His ability to fly various planes. D. His passion for studying engines.
5. Which of the following was best worth remembering about Chris’career
A. Serving in the Canadian army. B. Receiving a lot of training from the NASA.
C. Working as commander on the ISS. D. Being the first Canadian astronaut to walk in space.
6. What made Chris popular in the media
A. The space tasks he conducted in his life. B. His great contributions to Canada’s space industry.
C. His strong determination to pursue his dream. D. The pictures and videos he posted online.
7. What can we learn from Chris’words in the last paragraph
A. Courage is what it takes to overcome difficulties. B. The secret of success lies in the firm aim.
C. From small beginnings come great endings. D. Opportunities go hand in hand with challenges.
C
The world is full of tea drinkers. For many, they simply enjoy the taste. But new research suggests tea might help those who drink it live longer than those who do not. Tea is known to contain substances (物质) that can help reduce inflammation (炎症). Past studies in China and Japan have suggested several health benefits of green tea. Now, scientists say black tea may show similar benefits.
Scientists from the United States National Cancer Institute carried out the study. They examined years of data gathered about the tea-drinking behavior of almost 500, 000 adults in Britain, where black tea is the most common tea. The study found that high tea intake (摄取量) — two or more cups a day — was linked to a moderate benefit: a 9 to 13 percent lower risk of death from any cause than non-tea drinkers. Scientists say the lowered risk of death held true for study subjects with heart disease. However, researchers said there was no clear finding in connection with deaths from cancer.
Tea contains various elements, including polyphenols (多酚), Polyphenols are considered responsible for the health benefits that have traditionally been linked to tea, especially green tea. Green tea is reported to improve mental ability, alleviate digestive problems and head pain, and help people with weight loss. It has also been studied for possible protective effects against heart disease and cancer.
However, the study of British tea drinkers was based on observing people’s behaviors and health. This kind of method cannot prove cause and effect. “Observational studies like this always raise the question: Is there something else that makes tea drinkers healthier ” said Marion Nestle, a professor of food studies at New York University. “The study does not offer enough evidence to advise people to change their tea behaviors. If you drink one cup a day already, I think that is good,” said Inoue Choi, who led the study.
8. What does the new study mainly focus on
A. The effects of tea on health. B. The popularity of tea culture.
C. The harmful substances in tea. D. The right amount of tea intake.
9. According to the study, people with high tea intake are likely to ______.
A. stay focused B. develop cancer
C. get heart disease D. have a lower risk of death
10. What does the underlined word “alleviate” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Cause. B. Worsen. C. Relieve. D. Hide.
11. What does the author intend to do in the last paragraph
A. To provide advice on how to drink tea.
B. To point out the possible limitations of the study.
C. To stress the significance of the research findings.
D. To offer additional evidence for the research results.
D
What is the place of art in a culture of inattention Recent visitors to the Louvre report that tourists can now spend only a minute in front of the Mona Lisa before being asked to move on. Much of that time, for some of them, is spent taking photographs not even of the painting but of themselves with the painting in the background.
One view is that we have made tourism and gallery-going so easy that we have made it effectively impossible to appreciate what we’ve travelled to see. In this society, experience becomes goods like any other. There are queues to climb Everest as well as to see famous paintings. Thus, leisure is considered as hard labour rather than relaxation.
In the rapidly developing society, what gets lost is the quality of looking. Consider an extreme example, the late philosopher Richard Wollheim. When he visited the Louvre he could spend as much as four hours sitting before a painting. The first hour, he claimed, was necessary for incorrect impression to be removed. It was only then that the picture would begin to disclose itself. This seems unthinkable today, but it is still possible to organise. Even in the busiest museums there are many rooms and many pictures worth hours of contemplation (沉思) which the crowds largely ignore.
Marcel Proust, another lover of the Louvre, wrote: “It is only through art that we can escape from ourselves and know how another person sees a universe which is not the same as our own and whose landscapes would otherwise have remained as unknown as any there may be on the moon.” If any art remains worth seeing, it must lead us to such escapes. But a minute in front of a painting in a hurried, harried (烦扰) crowd won’t do that.
12. Why does the author mention the example in Louvre in Paragraph 1
A. To express his concern about Louvre. B. To report the popularity of Mona Lisa.
C. To introduce a good place to take photos. D. To show a disappointing current situation.
13. Which of the following will Richard Wollheim agree
A. People need to clear up their misunderstanding of paintings.
B. People have to stay at least 4 hours when appreciating paintings.
C. It is impossible for modern people to admire paintings attentively.
D. The longer one admires the paintings, the more unlikely he loves them.
14. What role does art play in our life according to Marcel Proust
A. Art is of help for us to accept ourselves better.
B. Art makes our life more colourful and meaningful.
C. Art allows us to know the world in the view of others.
D. Art pushes us away from ourselves and explores the moon.
15. Which is the best title of the passage
A. Into art attentively. B. Escape from ourselves.
C. Beyond art completely. D. Go to the museums often.

The day I met Hani Irmawati, she was a shy, 17-year-old girl standing alone in the parking lot of the international school in Indonesia, where I teach English. She asked if I could help her improve her English. I could tell it took lots of courage for the young Indonesian girl to ask for help. “I want to go to a US university,” she said with confidence. I was surprised.
I agreed to work with her on a volunteer basis. For several months, Hani woke each morning at five and caught the city bus to her public high school. During the ride, she studied for her regular classes and the English assignments I had given her. At four o’clock in the afternoon, she arrived at my classroom, exhausted but ready to work.
Hani lived in a two-room house with her parents and two brothers. When I met them at their house, I realized they would never be able to afford the expenses of a US university. Not only does it require lots of files to submit, including the language test scores and CV (简历). The most important part is the money that will cost.
Hani’s enthusiasm (热情) was increasing with her language ability, but I was becoming more and more discouraged.
One day I received the announcement of a scholarship (奖学金) opportunity for a major US university. After reading the requirements, I knew Hani couldn’t meet the qualifications. Because this is a Test of English Fluency in Jakarta. The entire test would be an huge challenge for someone who had never touched a computer before. I told her that there was only a small chance of her getting the scholarship and encouraged her to be more“realistic" about her dream. But she remained determined.“Will you send in my name " she asked.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；

I couldn’t turn her down. I completed the application with her real academic performance.

The world is full of tea drinkers. For many, they simply enjoy the taste. But new research suggests tea might help those who drink it live longer than those who do not. Tea is known to contain substances (物质) that can help reduce inflammation (炎症). Past studies in China and Japan have suggested several health benefits of green tea. Now, scientists say black tea may show similar benefits.
Scientists from the United States National Cancer Institute carried out the study. They examined years of data gathered about the tea-drinking behavior of almost 500, 000 adults in Britain, where black tea is the most common tea. The study found that high tea intake (摄取量) — two or more cups a day — was linked to a moderate benefit: a 9 to 13 percent lower risk of death from any cause than non-tea drinkers. Scientists say the lowered risk of death held true for study subjects with heart disease. However, researchers said there was no clear finding in connection with deaths from cancer.
Tea contains various elements, including polyphenols (多酚), Polyphenols are considered responsible for the health benefits that have traditionally been linked to tea, especially green tea. Green tea is reported to improve mental ability, alleviate digestive problems and head pain, and help people with weight loss. It has also been studied for possible protective effects against heart disease and cancer.
However, the study of British tea drinkers was based on observing people’s behaviors and health. This kind of method cannot prove cause and effect. “Observational studies like this always raise the question: Is there something else that makes tea drinkers healthier ” said Marion Nestle, a professor of food studies at New York University. “The study does not offer enough evidence to advise people to change their tea behaviors. If you drink one cup a day already, I think that is good,” said Inoue Choi, who led the study.
8. What does the new study mainly focus on
A. The effects of tea on health. B. The popularity of tea culture.
C. The harmful substances in tea. D. The right amount of tea intake.
9. According to the study, people with high tea intake are likely to ______.
A. stay focused B. develop cancer
C. get heart disease D. have a lower risk of death
10. What does the underlined word “alleviate” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A Cause. B. Worsen. C. Relieve. D. Hide.
11. What does the author intend to do in the last paragraph
A. To provide advice on how to drink tea.
B. To point out the possible limitations of the study.
C. To stress the significance of the research findings.
D. To offer additional evidence for the research results.
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. C 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述的是一项研究发现，经常喝茶的人比不喝茶的人寿命更长。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“But new research suggests tea might help those who drink it live longer than those who do not. Tea is known to contain substances (物质) that can help reduce inflammation (炎症).(但新的研究表明，喝茶的人可能比不喝茶的人更长寿。众所周知，茶含有可以帮助减少炎症的物质)”可知，经常喝茶的要比不喝茶的人寿命长，茶内含有能帮助消炎的物质，由此可知，新研究重点关注的是茶对健康的影响。故选A项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The study found that high tea intake (摄取量)—two or more cups a day—was linked to a moderate benefit: a 9 to 13 percent lower risk of death from any cause than non-tea drinkers.(研究发现，高茶摄入量(每天两杯或两杯以上)与适度的益处有关：与不喝茶的人相比，因任何原因死亡的风险降低了9%至13%)”可知，经常喝茶的人比不喝茶的人降低了9%-13%的死亡风险，由此可知，茶叶高摄入量的人的死亡率较低。故选D项。
【10题详解】
词义猜测题。分析划线单词所在的句子“Tea contains various elements, including polyphenols (多酚), Polyphenols are considered responsible for the health benefits that have traditionally been linked to ten, especially green tea.(茶含有多种元素，包括多酚，多酚被认为对健康有益，传统上认为对健康有益，尤其是绿茶)”可知，绿茶对健康有益，且划线单词与“改善”和“帮助”为并列关系，由此可知，该单词也是说明绿茶对健康好处，结合选项可知，该单词应为“缓解”的意思。故选C项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“However, the study of British tea drinkers was based on observing people’s behaviors and health. This kind of method cannot prove cause and effect.(然而，对英国饮茶者的研究是基于观察人们的行为和健康状况。这种方法不能证明因果关系)”可知，这种研究方法不能证明因果关系，以及““The study does not offer enough evidence to advise people to change their tea behaviors. If you drink one cup a day already, I think that is good,” said Inoue Choi, who led the study.( “这项研究没有提供足够的证据来建议人们改变他们的饮茶习惯。如果你每天喝一杯，我认为这很好，”领导这项研究的Inoue Choi说)”可知，这项研究没有足够的证据建议人们改变喝茶这一行为，由此可知，最后一段说明这项研究可能存在局限性。故选B项。
D
What is the place of art in a culture of inattention Recent visitors to the Louvre report that tourists can now spend only a minute in front of the Mona Lisa before being asked to move on. Much of that time for some of them, is spent taking photographs not even of the painting but of themselves with the painting in the background.
One view is that we have made tourism and gallery-going so easy that we have made it effectively impossible to appreciate what we’ve travelled to see. In this society, experience becomes goods like any other. There are queues to climb Everest as well as to see famous paintings. Thus, leisure is considered as hard labour rather than relaxation.
In the rapidly developing society, what gets lost is the quality of looking. Consider an extreme example, the late philosopher Richard Wollheim. When he visited the Louvre he could spend as much as four hours sitting before a painting. The first hour, he claimed, was necessary for incorrect impression to be removed. It was only then that the picture would begin to disclose itself. This seems unthinkable today, but it is still possible to organise. Even in the busiest museums there are many rooms and many pictures worth hours of contemplation (沉思) which the crowds largely ignore.
Marcel Proust, another lover of the Louvre, wrote: “It is only through art that we can escape from ourselves and know how another person sees a universe which is not the same as our own and whose landscapes would otherwise have remained as unknown as any there may be on the moon.” If any art remains worth seeing, it must lead us to such escapes. But a minute in front of a painting in a hurried, harried (烦扰) crowd won’t do that.
12. Why does the author mention the example in Louvre in Paragraph 1
A. To express his concern about Louvre. B. To report the popularity of Mona Lisa.
C. To introduce a good place to take photos. D. To show a disappointing current situation.
13. Which of the following will Richard Wollheim agree
A. People need to clear up their misunderstanding of paintings.
B. People have to stay at least 4 hours when appreciating paintings.
C. It is impossible for modern people to admire paintings attentively.
D. The longer one admires the paintings, the more unlikely he loves them.
14. What role does art play in our life according to Marcel Proust
A. Art is of help for us to accept ourselves better.
B. Art makes our life more colourful and meaningful.
C. Art allows us to know the world in the view of others.
D. Art pushes us away from ourselves and explores the moon.
15. Which is the best title of the passage
A. Into art attentively. B. Escape from ourselves.
C. Beyond art completely. D. Go to the museums often.
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道，主要讲的是在快速发展的社会中，游客们不能集中注意力很好地欣赏艺术品，而艺术是需要专心欣赏的。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Recent visitors to the Louvre report that tourists can now spend only a minute in front of the Mona Lisa before being asked to move on. Much of that time, for some of them, is spent taking photographs not even of the painting but of themselves with the painting in the background.(最近参观卢浮宫的游客报告说，游客现在只能在《蒙娜丽莎》面前呆上一分钟，然后就会被要求离开。对他们中的一些人来说，大部分时间都花在拍照上，甚至不是为这幅画拍照，而是以这幅画为背景给自己拍照。)”和第二段“One view is that we have made tourism and gallery-going so easy that we have made it effectively impossible to appreciate what we’ve travelled to see.(一种观点是，我们让旅游和参观画廊变得如此容易，以至于我们实际上不可能欣赏我们旅行所看到的东西。)”可知，作者在第一段提到卢浮宫的例子是为了展示艺术欣赏令人失望的现状。故选D。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“When he visited the Louvre he could spend as much as four hours sitting before a painting. The first hour, he claimed, was necessary for incorrect impression to be removed. It was only then that the picture would begin to disclose itself. This seems unthinkable today, but it is still possible to organise.(当他参观卢浮宫时，他可以在一幅画前坐上四个小时之久。他说，第一个小时是消除错误印象所必需的。只有到那时，情况才开始显露出来。这在今天看来是不可想象的，但仍有可能组织起来。)”可知，Richard Wollheim认为第一个小时是消除对艺术作品错误印象所必需的行为，可得出他可能会同意的是人们需要澄清对绘画的误解。故选A。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“It is only through art that we can escape from ourselves and know how another person sees a universe which is not the same as our own and whose landscapes would otherwise have remained as unknown as any there may be on the moon.(只有通过艺术，我们才能逃离自我，才能知道另一个人是如何看待一个与我们自己不同的宇宙的，如果没有艺术，这个宇宙的风景就会像月球上的风景一样未知。)”可知，Marcel Proust认为艺术在我们的生活中让我们从别人的角度去认识世界。故选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“What is the place of art in a culture of inattention Recent visitors to the Louvre report that tourists can now spend only a minute in front of the Mona Lisa before being asked to move on.(在一个注意力不集中文化中，艺术的位置是什么？最近参观卢浮宫的游客报告说，游客现在只能在《蒙娜丽莎》面前呆上一分钟，然后就会被要求离开。)”，第二段“One view is that we have made tourism and gallery-going so easy that we have made it effectively impossible to appreciate what we’ve travelled to see.(一种观点是，我们让旅游和参观画廊变得如此容易，以至于我们实际上不可能欣赏我们旅行所看到的东西。)”和倒数第二段“Even in the busiest museums there are many rooms and many pictures worth hours of contemplation (沉思) which the crowds largely ignore.(即使在最繁忙的博物馆里，也有许多值得人们沉思数小时的房间和许多画作，而这些都被人们忽略了。)”可知，本文主要讲的是在快速发展的社会中，游客们不能集中注意力很好地欣赏艺术品，而艺术是需要专心欣赏的，因此最好的题目是A选项“Into art attentively.(用心投入艺术。)”。故选A。

【36题详解】
考查介词。句意：一位63岁的中国爷爷不用胶水、螺丝钉和钉子就能做出木工活，他的木工手艺在网上令数千万观众赞叹。分析句子可知，此处表示“不用胶水、螺丝钉和钉子就能做出木工活”，应使用介词without表示“不用……”。故填without。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：中国的木工大师王德文，在YouTube上被称为“阿木爷爷”，由于他丰富的木工知识，被称为现代的鲁班。分析句子结构可知know在句中应用非谓语动词形式，且与其逻辑主语Wang Dewen之间是被动关系，应用过去分词作后置定语。故填known。
【38题详解】
考查副词。句意：他最受欢迎的视频是他制作一座奇妙的拱桥的视频，上个月在该平台上疯传，点击量超过4200万次。修饰形容词popular应用副词hugely，作状语。故填hugely。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：他最受欢迎的视频是他制作一座奇妙的拱桥的视频，上个月在该平台上疯传，点击量超过4200万次。分析句子结构可知gain在句中应用非谓语动词形式，且gain与逻辑主语His most popular video之间是主动关系，用现在分词作状语。故填gaining。
【40题详解】
考查时态语态和主谓一致。句意：阿木爷爷采用了中国古代的榫卯技术，也就是说，整个拱桥的建造过程中没有使用胶水或钉子。根据means可知，此处应是一般现在时，且主语glue or nails与动词involve之间为被动关系，应用一般现在时的被动语态；且or连接的并列成分作主语时，其谓语通常要与靠近的主语保持一致，即谓语动词与nails保持一致，用复数。故填are involved。
【41题详解】
考查名词复数。句意：阿木爷爷也用同样的技术为他的孙子做了一些木制玩具。toy为可数名词，由several修饰，应用复数形式。故填toys。
【42题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：他制作了一个折叠凳，看起来就像2010年上海世博会的中国馆。此处为非限制性定语从句修饰先行词a folding stool，且先行词在从句中作主语，指物，故应用which引导，that不能引导非限制性定语从句。故填which。
【43题详解】
考查形容词。句意：“看到他工作的样子，真让人惊讶。”一位名叫Rey Rey的YouTube用户在视频下评论道。根据上文It’s可知应填形容词作表语，it be amazing to do sth.“做某事是令人惊奇的”，可知应用-ing结尾形容词amazing，说明事物的特征。故填amazing。
【44题详解】
考查动词时态。句意：到目前为止，这位木匠大师已经在YouTube上吸引了超过118万的订阅者。根据后文since his video was posted on YouTube可知，此句应用现在完成时，主语为The master carpenter，助动词应用has。故填has attracted。

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。
The day I met Hani Irmawati, she was a shy, 17-year-old girl standing alone in the parking lot of the international school in Indonesia, where I teach English. She asked if I could help her improve her English. I could tell it took lots of courage for the young Indonesian girl to ask for help. “I want to go to a US university,” she said with confidence. I was surprised.
I agreed to work with her on a volunteer basis. For several months, Hani woke each morning at five and caught the city bus to her public high school. During the ride, she studied for her regular classes and the English assignments I had given her. At four o’clock in the afternoon, she arrived at my classroom, exhausted but ready to work.
Hani lived in a two-room house with her parents and two brothers. When I met them at their house, I realized they would never be able to afford the expenses of a US university. Not only does it require lots of files to submit, including the language test scores and CV (简历). The most important part is the money that will cost.
Hani’s enthusiasm (热情) was increasing with her language ability, but I was becoming more and more discouraged.
One day I received the announcement of a scholarship (奖学金) opportunity for a major US university. After reading the requirements, I knew Hani couldn’t meet the qualifications. Because this is a Test of English Fluency in Jakarta. The entire test would be an huge challenge for someone who had never touched a computer before. I told her that there was only a small chance of her getting the scholarship and encouraged her to be more“realistic" about her dream. But she remained determined.“Will you send in my name " she asked.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 I couldn’t turn her down. I completed the application with her real academic performance. What I included in her application is also my praise of her courage and perseverance. In the weeks that followed, I arranged for her to take the Test of English Fluency in Jakarta. The entire test would be an enomous challenge for someone who had never touched a computer before. For two weeks, we studied how a computer works. She studied day and night, which made me feel very moved. I stayed with her and looked up all the information she needed.
After several weeks later, she received a letter from the scholarship association. She had been accepted. I leaped around the room, overjoyed and shocked. Hani stood by, smiling. I realized that it was I who had learned something Hani had known from the beginning: It is not intelligence alone that brings success, but also the drive to succeed, the commitment to work hard and the courage to believe in yourself. I am proud of her, and I am lucky to have learned so much in helping her.
