A
We live in a town with three beaches. There are two parks less than 10 minutes’ walk from home where neighbourhood children gather to play. However, what my children want to do after school is pick up a screen—any screen—and stare at it for hours. They are not alone. Today’s children spend an average of four and a half hours a day looking at screens, which includes watching television and surfing the Internet.
In the past few years, an increasing number of people and organizations have begun coming up with plans to address this trend. A couple of years ago, film-maker David Bond realized that his children, then aged five and three, were attached to screens to the point where he was able to say “chocolate” into his three-year-old son’s ear without getting a response. He realized that something needed to change, and, being a London media worker, appointed himself “marketing director for Nature”. He documented his journey as he set about treating nature as a brand to be marketed to young people. The result was Project Wild Thing, a film which charts the birth of the “Wild Network”, a group of organizations with the common goal of getting children out into nature.
“Just five more minutes outdoors can make a difference,” David Bond says. “There is a lot of really interesting evidence which seems to be suggesting that if children are inspired up to the age of seven, then being outdoors will be a habit for life.” His own children have got into the habit of playing outside now: “We just send them out into the garden and tell them not to come back in for a while.”
Summer is upon us. There is an amazing world out there, and it needs our children as much as they need it. Let us get them out and let them play.

B.They are tired of doing their homework.

A new trend called “praise groups” or “in-need-of-praise” chat groups has become popular on Chinese social media. In Chinese culture, where modesty (谦逊) is valued, openly seeking and giving praise is uncommon. These chat groups provide a platform for people to receive compliments (赞扬) and encouragement, which are often lacking in their daily lives.
To join a praise group, users can pay a fee on e-commerce sites, starting at 50 yuan for five minutes of compliments. The group members will then show the person with praises and kind words. The compliments can be designed for a friend or loved one as well. Participants have found that being praised by strangers can help lift their spirits and improve their self-confidence.
For example, Meng Zha, a student at Shanghai’s Tongji University, tried the service and found it amusing and uplifting. She received compliments on her appearance and even quotes (引用) from popular songs. Ms Meng couldn’t help but laugh at the compliments and expressed her desire to post such high-quality praises in the future.
Praise groups have appeared as a way for people in China to seek and receive compliments and encouragement that may be lacking in their daily lives. It provides a positive and uplifting experience for participants, improving a sense of happiness and self-worth.
Those who support the groups, see them as an antidote to extremely bad moods (情绪) which are often associated with things happening on the Internet.“At first, the purpose of this group is to make us learn to praise others and accept others’ praises confidently. Here we can drop everything, and use our heart to praise and support others,” one member said. But the life journey is long and there are some unexpected situations that we can only count on ourselves to face when there is no one out there to offer help.
5.What is the purpose of praise groups
A.To make praise popular. B.To have everyone supported.
C.To share common interests. D.To give people hope and happiness.
6.What can we learn about Meng Zha in paragraph 3
A.She was not strong enough. B.She was under working stress.
C.She was satisfied with the service. D.She was a gifted singer in her area.
7.What does the underlined word “antidote” mean in the last paragraph
A.A kind of medicine. B.A way of making new friends.
C.A method of being confident. D.The wisdom of solving problems.
8.What is the author’s attitude to praise groups
A.Critical. B.Objective. C.Supportive. D.Indifferent.
C
We all know that unpleasant feeling when we’re talking about something interesting and halfway through our sentence we’re interrupted (打断). But was that really an interruption The answer depends on whom you ask, according to new research led by Katherine Hilton from Stanford University.
Using a set of controlled audio clips, Hilton surveyed 5,000 American English speakers to better understand what affects people’s understandings of interruptions. She had participants listen to audio clips and then answer questions about whether the speakers seemed to be friendly and engaged, listening to one another, or trying to interrupt.
Hilton found that American English speakers have different conversational styles. She identified two groups: high and low intensity speakers. High intensity speakers are generally uncomfortable with moments of silence in conversation and consider talking at the same time a sign of engagement. Low intensity speakers find it rude to talk at the same time and prefer people speak one after another in conversation.
The differences in conversational styles became obvious when participants listened to audio clips in which two people spoke at the same time but were agreeing with each other and stayed on topic, Hilton said. The high intensity group reported that conversations where people spoke at the same time when expressing agreement were not interruptive but engaged and friendlier than the conversations with moments of silence in between speaking turns. By comparison, the low intensity group regards any amount of simultaneous (同时) chat as a rude interruption, regardless of what the speakers were saying.
“People care about being interrupted, and those small interruptions can have a massive effect on the overall communication,” Hilton said. “Breaking apart what an interruption means is essential if we want to understand how humans interact with each other.”
9. What does Hilton’s research focus on
A. Whether interruption is good or not B. What interruptions mean to people.
C. How to avoid getting interrupted. D. Why speakers interrupt each other.
10. What do participants of the study need to do
A. Record an audio clip. B. Answer some questions.
C. Listen to one another. D. Have a chat with a friend.
11. What do low intensity speakers think of simultaneous chat
A. It’s important. B. It’s interesting
C. It’s inefficient. D. It’s impolite.
12. What can we learn from Hilton’s research
A. Conversational styles affect the understandings of interruptions.
B. Communication is the very basis of our everyday life.
C. Interruptions during conversations contribute to thinking.
D. Language barriers will always exist regardless of the content.

Everyone was shocked as I placed my son Ilias’s first birthday cake in front of him. He loved Sesame Street, so I made him an Elmo cake in rich red icing (糖霜). I’d worked for hours to perfect my design and make the most delicious and jaw-dropping cake. I enjoyed every minute of it.
I started baking (烘焙) when Ilias was born. At that time, I struggled with the pressure of being a new mum and was diagnosed with postnatal depression (产后抑郁症). So to help walk out of that dark hole, at night when Ilias slept I ran into the kitchen and decided to bake a cake.
Then, with my mum’s birthday coming up, I saw a handbag cake in a shop. I threw my all into copying it and finally I made it. Mum was so blown away by my creation that she didn’t cut the cake. Instead, she kept it in a glass cake stand on display at home for a month.
Over time I created many delicious delights. The best part was seeing Ilias’s face light up when he saw them. “You should do this for a living,” my husband, Michael, suggested. 1 laughed it off, but it wasn’t a bad idea.
After Ilias’s third birthday, I set up a shop for my cake baking, calling it Cake Queen Oz, and orders started to come in. As time passed, the bakeshop became my full-time job. Once, I made a Titanic cake that was the length of a table for a lady whose family loved ships. It’s been seven years since Cake Queen Oz was born.
Cake baking brought me joy when I was going through a tough time. Every day I feel lucky that I’ve been able to turn my hobby into my job.
13. How did the people feel when they saw Ilias’s first birthday cake
A. Bored. B. Surprised. C. Frightened. D. Annoyed.
14. Why did the author’s mother keep the cake for a month
A. She wanted to sell it. B. She disliked eating cake.
C. She couldn’t bear to eat it. D. She showed it to the public.
15. Who advised the author to run a bakeshop
A. Her mother. B. Her friends. C. Her child. D. Her husband
16. What may be the best title for the text
A. My Love Affair with Cake
B. My Experience in Making Cake
C. Baking Cake Is Good for You
D. Children Always Like Eating Cake

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 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 methodology 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.
17. 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.
18. According to the study, people with high tea intake tend to .
A. stay focused B. develop cancer
C. get heart disease D. have a lower risk of death
19. What does the underlined word "alleviate" in paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Cause. B. Worsen. C. Relieve. D. Hide.
20. 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 supporting evidence for the research results

A篇DBCC
本文是一篇记叙文。作者通过讲述自己的孩子们总是盯着电脑等屏幕而不去户外活动这一现象,引出了电影导演David Bond怎样激励自己的孩子们养成户外活动、锻炼身体的习惯的做法。
31.D。细节理解题。根据第一段中的“what my children want to do after school is pick up a screen—any screen—and stare at it for hours.”可知,作者的孩子们放学后想做的第一件事就是选择一个屏幕——任何一个屏幕——盯着它看上几个小时。说明作者的孩子的问题是花在屏幕上的时间太多。故选D。
32.B。细节理解题。根据第二段中的“... being a London media type, appointed himself... a film which charts the birth of the ‘Wild Network’, a group of organizations with the common goal of petting children out into nature”可知,David是一个电影导演,利用媒体来向孩子们推销大自然,记录了自己的活动,并且拍成了一部电影Project Wild Thing,由此可知他是通过制作纪录片的形式来鼓励孩子们亲近大自然。故选B。
33.C。词义猜测题。根据第二段画线词前面的句子“He documented his journey as he set about treating nature a brand to be marketed to young people.”可知,他记录了自己将大自然作为品牌向年轻人推销的历程,其中的“documented”意为“记录”。因此,结合画线词后面的“the birth of the ‘Wild Network’, a group of organizations...”可知,他的纪录片还记录了一个组织的诞生,故“charts”意为“记录”,故选C。
34.C。主旨大意题。作者通过回忆自己小时候在外面玩,以及现在自己的孩子花费在屏幕上时间太多,而不再出去玩了,过渡并叙述了很多人们意识到了这个问题,并且以电影导演David Bond为例,拍摄纪录片,倡导让孩子们到户外,到大自然中去,因此C项符合题意。

C篇BBDA
42.推理判断题。由本文第一段中的关键句But was that really an interruption The answer depends on whom you ask ,according to new research led by Katherine Hilton from Stanford University.(但这真的是打扰吗 根据斯坦福大学凯瑟琳·希尔顿领导的一项新研究,答案取决于你问谁。) 推断出希尔顿的研究重点是打断对人们意味着什么。故选B。
43.细节理解题。由本文第二段中的关键句She had participants listen to audio clips and then answer questions about whether the speakers seemed to be friendly and engaged,listening to one another,or trying to interrupt.(她让参与者听一些音频片段,然后回答一些问题,比如说话者看起来是否友好、投入、彼此倾听,还是试图打断。)推断出参与者们需要在听完音频后回答一些问题。故选B。
44.观点态度题。由本文第三段最后一句Low intensity speakers find it rude to talk at the same time and prefer people speak one after another in conversation.(低强度说话者觉得同时说话很不礼貌,他们更喜欢人们在谈话中一个接一个地说话。)“推断出对于低强度聊天者来说,同时聊天是粗鲁的,不礼貌的。故选D。
45.推理判断题。由本文第四段的内容The differences in conversational styles became obvious when participants listened to audio clips in which two people spoke at the same time but were agreeing with each other and stayed on topic,Hilton said. The high intensity group reported that conversations where people spoke at the same time when expressing agreement were not interruptive but engaged and friendlier than the conversations with moments of silence in between speaking turns. in contrast,the low intensity group perceived any amount of simultaneous (同时) chat as a rude interruption,regardless of what the speakers were saying.(希尔顿说,当参与者听两个人同时说话的音频片段时,谈话风格的差异变得明显起来,这些音频片段中两人的意见一致,并保持在主题上。高强度组报告说人们在表达同意的同时说话的对话不会被打断,而是比在说话之间保持沉默的对话更投入、更友好。相比之下,无论说话人在说什么,低强度组都认为同时聊天是一种粗鲁的打断。)推断出会话风格会影响对中断的感知。故选A。
D篇BCDA
本文是记叙文,讲述了我与蛋糕的不解之缘。
31. B 细节理解题。根据第一段第一句可知,当我把 Ilias 的一岁生日蛋糕放在他面前的时候,大家都大吃一惊。

E篇ADCB
42.A解题思路 :细节理解题。根据第一段内容可知 ,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 ,茶中含有有助于消炎的物质。中国和日本过去的研究表明 ,绿茶对健康有多种益处。如今 ,科学家表示红 茶可能也有类似的益处。由此可知 ,新研究聚焦于茶对健康的影响。故选A项。
43.D 解题思路 :细节理解题。根据第二段中的"The study found that …than non-tea drinkers."可知 ,研究发现 , 与不喝茶的人相比 ,茶摄入量高的人 ,如每天喝两杯或两杯以上 ,因任何原因造成的死亡的风险会降低9%至 13%。故选D项。错项分析 :A项文章未提及;B项是根据第二段中"cancer"臆造的选项 ,文章并未提及摄入大量的茶会诱发癌 症;C项与第二段中的"Scientists say the lowered risk of death …with heart disease."信息相悖。
44.C 解题思路 :词义猜测题。根据画线词上下文可知 ,茶含有多种元素 ,其中包括多酚。人们传统地认为茶中的多 酚对健康有益 ,尤其是绿茶。据报道 ,绿茶可以提高心智 ,帮助人们减肥 ,还可能对心脏病和癌症起到保护作 用。由此可推测 ,画线词所在句表示 ,绿茶可以提高心智 ,“缓解”消化问题和头痛 ,并帮助人们减肥。故选C 项。
45.B 解题思路 :推理判断题。根据题干中的关键词"the last paragraph"定位至最后一段 ,该段介绍了这项针对英国 饮茶者的研究是基于对人们行为和健康状况的观察。这种方法无法证明因果关系。Marion Nestle教授表示像 这样的观察性研究总是会引发一个问题 :是否还有其他因素让喝茶的人更健康?这项研究没有提供足够的证据 来建议人们改变饮茶行为。由此可推知 ,作者在最后一段指出了研究可能存在的局限性。故选B项。错项分析 :该段并未针对喝茶的方法提供一些建议和强调研究结果的重要性 ,故排除A、C两项;新研究聚焦 于茶对健康的影响这一话题 ,最后一段并未进一步为研究结果提供支持证据 ,故D项错误

Dear Margaux,
I heard that you love photography but have been struggling to balance your study. I’m glad to offer my advice!
First of all, list all the things you need to do in order of importance. Thus, more free time can be saved for your photography. Additionally, on the weekends, you’d better spend less time on meaningless events, taking part in some activities concerning photography instead.
I wish my advice would be of some help to you. I’m sure you can find a balance between your study and photography.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
