The list of music festivals seems to double each year, so we think we’d save you some time by presenting our picks that reflect a deep sense of place.
New Orleans Jazz Festival
This week-long festival was established in New Orleans, America in 1970 to celebrate the city’s status as the birthplace of jazz. Headliners that attended the first celebration included singer Mahalia Jackson and pianist Duke Ellington. Over the years, this festival has grown to showcase much more than jazz. Attendees have long enjoyed the latest hit-makers alongside booths and exhibits featuring Louisiana’s native cuisine, arts, and crafts.
Newport Folk Festival
Founded by George Wein in 1959 and best known for introducing the world to the likes of Joan Baez and Bob Dylan, Newport Folk Festival is one of the oldest music festivals in America. Like New Orleans Jazz Festival, this Rhode Island event gives a false impression about the types of music one can expect to find, although it has been remaining true to its roots.
Interceltic Festival
When most people hear the word “Celtic”, they think of Ireland. But this festival takes place each summer in the heart of the seaport town of Lorient in northwestern France. While emphasizing music and dance, the ten-day festival also provides a platform for colorful expressions of Celtic art, food and drink, theater, literature, and sports.
Roskilde Music Festival
England’s Glastonbury, Hungary’s Sziget, and Denmark’s Roskilde are Europe’s three biggest music festivals. Roskilde stands out not only for its impressive and eclectic music, but for its nonprofit approach. All concert incomes are donated to support charities, music and cultural programs since its founding in 1971. With lake swimming, an on-site skate park, and an annual “naked run”, the event has earned a name for being a week-long summer camp for adults.
21. Which festival is held in Louisiana
A. Interceltic Festival. B. Roskilde Music Festival.
C. Newport Folk Festival. D. New Orleans Jazz Festival.
22. Who started Newport Folk Festival
A. Joan Baez. B. Bob Dylan. C. George Wein. D. Mahalia Jackson.
23. What do the last two festivals have in common
A. They include some sports. B. They emphasize one type of music.
C. They donate all their profits. D. They last for the same period of time.
B
Deep in a forest of France’s Burgundy region, a group of enthusiasts have been building a castle with tools and methods from the late 13th century since 1995. Some of those working here are very skilled heritage people, and others are history lovers. But all of them share a deep respect for nature and a desire to return to simpler times.
The idea to build the castle was born in 1995 among three residents of the region. One of them, Maryline Martin, owns a nearby 17th-century house and is involved in work to restore different castles in the area.
“We thought that it would be amazing to imitate (模仿) how people did things in the past,” Martin tells public radio station France Culture. “We decided to use other ancient castles in this area as examples and get inspiration from descriptions in old books.”
On the construction site, the workers are all dressed in ancient clothing. The smell of fire is coming from a nearby blacksmith’s shop, where 20-year-old Matisse Lacroix is burning a piece of iron in a stove to make tools needed to build the castle.
“The temperature in the stove is around 1100℃, so the iron can be softened to make these nails,” Lacroix explains to a group of fourth-graders, who are watching him bending and shaping the iron into nails.
“Part of the project’s mission is to rediscover and pass along skills and knowledge from the past,” Martin tells reporters. “That learning aspect of the project is one reason why its construction is taking so long.”
Initially, the project was funded by European Union. Now it is financed through more than 300,000 visitors a year who pay between 12 and 15 euros each. The income is more than enough to cover the construction costs and payments for the 100 staff members.
As for the project’s future, Martin says it could take 10, 15, or even 20 more years to build. “But we’re OK with that. It’s not about finishing the project. It’s about the things we learn and discover while building,” he says. “I believe the way we’re working here is more sustainable. The future is low tech.”
24. Which of the following best describes the castle-builders
A. Famous historians. B. Enthusiastic conservationists.
C. Housing developers. D. Professional heritage researchers.
25. What is the third paragraph mainly about
A. Maryline Martin’s background. B. The project’s influence.
C. The inspirations for the project. D. The history of the castle.
26. Why has it taken so long to build the castle
A. The owners don’t have enough money.
B. The workers don’t have proper equipment.
C. The French authorities fail to provide timely support.
D. The participants want to explore the ancient building skills.
27. What is Maryline Martin’s attitude to high-tech
A. Skeptical. B. Unclear. C. Approving. D. Objective.
C
A recently published paper finds that following a Mediterranean diet for three weeks can help reduce depression and anxiety among young adults.
In the study, participants in the test group were instructed to eat about six more servings of fruits and vegetables per week, compared with the control group. In addition, they were told to get per week three servings of fish besides three recommended servings per day of whole grains. As for milk, the recommendation was three servings per week, unsweetened. Participants were also asked to consume three tablespoons of nuts and seeds per week, as well as two tablespoons of olive oil per day.
“One of the shortcomings of nutrition science is that it often relies on asking people to recall what they ate and how they felt in the past. Given our failing memories, these data can be unreliable,” says Heather Francis, one of the researchers. “But our study included a device, called spectrophotometer, which can detect the degree of yellowness in the skin, which can precisely monitor the intake of carotenoids (类胡萝卜素), which the participants get from their food.”
“We have highly consistent and extensive evidence from around the globe linking Mediterranean diets to reduced depression risk,” says Felice Jacka, a professor at Deakin University in Australia who was not involved in the study. “I think the next step is to show how diets can reduce depression.”
However, it’s almost impossible to unravel how diet changes may help improve mental health according to the strict standard in medical research, where participants do not know that they are part of the group assigned to take the medicine or the placebo (安慰剂).
“In a diet study, there’s no way to ‘blind’ the participants so that they don’t know if they’re getting the ‘medicine’ or ‘placebo’,” says Heather Francis. “And research has shown that if people are told that they’re doing something that may make them less depressed, they will indeed report less depression. That’s known as the placebo effect.”
28. Each day, the young adults following the Mediterranean diet were instructed to eat ________.
A. unsweetened milk and nuts B. fish and fruits
C. vegetables and whole grains D. olive oil and seeds
29. What does the underlined word “unravel” in paragraph 5 probably mean
A. Notice. B. Prove. C. Describe. D. Ask.
30. What can we learn from Heather Francis’s words
A. It is impossible to avoid the placebo effect in his study.
B. Felice Jacka’s comment about his study is very misleading.
C. His testing method is perfect and the conclusion is very reliable.
D. The so-called placebo effect is even unavoidable in medical research.
31. In which section of a website may this text appear
A. Entertainment. B. Lifestyle. C. Science. D. Advertisement.
D
In the US, there is an old joke: “Tie an Italian’s hands behind his back and he’ll be speechless.” However, Susan Goldin-Meadowin, author of the book Thinking With Your Hands, has a rather different view.
“Almost everyone gestures, not just Italians,” she laughs. “Conference interpreters gesture in their little rooms, though no one is looking at them. Even people born blind gesture when they speak, including to each other. In the TV series, The Crown, Lady Diana is warned that her hands may reveal her real emotions, which could be dangerous and that they have to be tied together so she can learn to speak without gesturing.”
The gesture under discussion is the so-called “co-speech gesture”. It is much more abstract than such symbolic gestures like a finger over the lips for “Silence!” or raising a finger to mean “Great!”. Like words, such symbolic gestures are fixed within cultures (but vary between them). Instead, co-speech gestures that accompany speech are another channel of information and emotion. For example, subjects are asked to watch a film in which a cat runs, but they are told to lie and say it jumped. They may do so in words—while their hands will make a running movement. The co-speech gesture is not sign languages, either. They have clearly defined words and grammar.
And the co-speech gestures have great potential for practical applications. For example, some students who fail at a tricky mathematics problem may gesture in a way that indicates they understand it. Then they should be taught differently from the ones whose gestures suggest that they really understand it.
“Children with language delays caused by brain injuries at or around birth are likely to catch up verbally by the age of about 30 months, if they gesture as much as their peers (同龄人). Those who gesture less are more likely to need intensive early intervention,” Susan Goldin-Meadowin adds. “Co-speech gesturing is not just about a lack of control. It is about thinking and communication, and is an aid to both.”
32. What does Susan Goldin-Meadowin really want to tell us in paragraph 2
A. Lady Diana is probably an emotional woman.
B. Italians are very talkative and gesture too much.
C. It is unnatural for the blind to gesture to each other.
D. Co-speech gestures are used by all of us unknowingly.
33. What can we say about sign languages
A. They are as abstract as co-speech gestures.
B. They have clearly defined words and grammar.
C. They are usually learned by human beings naturally.
D. They vary from culture to culture and person to person.
34. What does the author suggest teachers do in the text
A. Put enough trust in students.
B. Encourage students to tell the truth.
C. Observe the co-speech gestures carefully.
D. Teach the tricky problems in different ways.
35. What is the best title for the text
A. Co-speech Gestures Are a Vital Part of Communication
B. Symbolic Gestures Differ Greatly From Co-speech Gestures
C. Co-speech Gestures Are More Difficult Than Sign Languages
D. Symbolic Gestures Have Great Potential for Practical Applications

What are the mistakes that drive college admission officials crazy—and sometimes send an application to the waste paper basket We have asked some of them what they’d prefer applicants not to do. Here are some of the highlights.
____36____. In many cases, students aren’t filling out all the data on the application, so they’re not necessarily answering all the questions. But those blanks make for an incomplete application, leaving colleges with only a partial picture of the applicants. So it’s important to pay close attention to what schools are asking for on the application.
Don’t let parents take the lead. Admission officials say parents should be actively involved in the application process. ____37____. They shouldn’t be filling out the application, writing the student’s essay or taking control of communication with school officials. They can help their children keep track of application deadlines and look for scholarships.
Don’t turn in a lengthy resume. This rule even rings true for professionals, who are advised to keep a resume to two pages or less. Regardless of the activities a student got involved in high school, experts advise applicants to keep their resume to one page. ____38____. They like to see focused students.
Don’t take an idea from someone else to write the application essay. Experienced admission officials will have read thousands of essays and can tell immediately. They want students to be original. ____39____. Most of them find self-reflection appealing and it helps to paint a more accurate picture of what the student’s individual journey has been.
Don’t forget to check program requirements. All students should check program requirements and take the necessary high school classes to help get into their preferred program. The requirements vary by college and they are usually listed on their websites. ____40____.
A. But that comes with limits
B. Don’t forget to read the directions
C. Don’t repeat information throughout the application
D. They want students to self-reflect and highlight their growth
E. Don’t list too many activities to impress admission officials
F. So it is important to get the information on each college’s website
G. Students should consider directing questions to admission officials

67. 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。
Mike was a big fan of football. When he was ten years old, he was admitted to join his first football team. As soon as he got home that day, he put on his uniform and admired himself in front of the mirror.
“I’m a real football player!” He said to himself and pretended to practise football.
“What are you doing silly boy ” asked his older sister.
“I’m practising football,” said Mike.
“When people practise football, they usually use a ball,” his sister laughed.
Mike then found a football in the basement and hurried back to his room, posing with the ball in front of the mirror, again.
The next day, Mike met his teammates on the playground. The coach taught them how to kick and run after the ball. He taught them how to throw the ball in from the sidelines, using two hands while keeping both feet on the ground. Finally, they had a practice game.
It turned out that playing football was a lot harder than it looked. Every time Mike was about to kick the ball, someone else kicked it away from him. When Mike threw the ball in from the sideline, he forgot to keep both feet on the ground. The only thing that Mike was good at was cheering. Whoever scored, he would jump up and cheer for them.
On the weekend, Mike’s team was invited to take part in its first real competition with the Sun. Mike’s family all came to watch. Mike chased the ball up and down, with excitement. It came as no surprise that their team lost the match. Even so, he kept cheering for anyone who scored.
After the game, his sister came over and reminded Mike that he needed to be a real football player, not just a cheerleader. Meanwhile, his coach told Mike that if he tried to do more practice and cooperate with his teammates, he could be a better football player, too.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Motivated by their words Mike started to take the training more seriously.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Finally, the day for the match between his team and the Sun came.

W: I hope it hasn’t caused any deaths.
M: Unfortunately, the quake killed four people and left at least 140 people injured. Also, a train carrying about 100 people went off the rails because of the quake. And two major highways are being carefully inspected before they can re-open.
W: That’s very bad. So I think it’s necessary to know how to survive an earthquake. Do you know how to do that
M: Oh, I’ve read an article about it. Are you interested
W: Yes. I’m all ears.

【原文】W: Justin, have you finished the first essay on Education Psychology
M: No. And I haven’t looked at the second one on Classroom Approaches. But I have finished the assignment by Professor Evans. The one on Future Education.
W: Would you like to share your ideas
M: Of course. My essay has two parts. The first part looks at the history of education. It includes class sizes and how testing has changed over the years. But it lacks points about teacher training.
W: What about your next part
M: It shows that nowadays the emphasis is on reward rather than punishment.
W: So do you use an example or a graph to confirm it
M: Neither. I just compare modern approaches with traditional approaches in the classroom.
W: Sounds good! How about closing the schools and learning online at home
M: It’s hard to decide. On the one hand, kids can do the same project through the Internet. On the other hand, schools aren’t just for learning, and they’re equally important for building social skills. So, I’m not very sure about that.

The list of music festivals seems to double each year, so we think we’d save you some time by presenting our picks that reflect a deep sense of place.
New Orleans Jazz Festival
This week-long festival was established in New Orleans, America in 1970 to celebrate the city’s status as the birthplace of jazz. Headliners that attended the first celebration included singer Mahalia Jackson and pianist Duke Ellington. Over the years, this festival has grown to showcase much more than jazz. Attendees have long enjoyed the latest hit-makers alongside booths and exhibits featuring Louisiana’s native cuisine, arts, and crafts.
Newport Folk Festival
Founded by George Wein in 1959 and best known for introducing the world to the likes of Joan Baez and Bob Dylan, Newport Folk Festival is one of the oldest music festivals in America. Like New Orleans Jazz Festival, this Rhode Island event gives a false impression about the types of music one can expect to find, although it has been remaining true to its roots.
Interceltic Festival
When most people hear the word “Celtic”, they think of Ireland. But this festival takes place each summer in the heart of the seaport town of Lorient in northwestern France. While emphasizing music and dance, the ten-day festival also provides a platform for colorful expressions of Celtic art, food and drink, theater, literature, and sports.
Roskilde Music Festival
England’s Glastonbury, Hungary’s Sziget, and Denmark’s Roskilde are Europe’s three biggest music festivals. Roskilde stands out not only for its impressive and eclectic music, but for its nonprofit approach. All concert incomes are donated to support charities, music and cultural programs since its founding in 1971. With lake swimming, an on-site skate park, and an annual “naked run”, the event has earned a name for being a week-long summer camp for adults.
21. Which festival is held in Louisiana
A Interceltic Festival. B. Roskilde Music Festival.
C. Newport Folk Festival. D. New Orleans Jazz Festival.
22. Who started Newport Folk Festival
A. Joan Baez. B. Bob Dylan. C. George Wein. D. Mahalia Jackson.
23. What do the last two festivals have in common
A. They include some sports. B. They emphasize one type of music.
C. They donate all their profits. D. They last for the same period of time.
【答案】21. D 22. C 23. A

(在强调音乐和舞蹈的同时，为期十天的节日也为凯尔特艺术、食物和饮料、戏剧、文学和体育提供了丰富多彩的表达平台)”和Roskilde Music Festival中“With lake swimming, an on-site skate park, and an annual “naked run”, the event has earned a name for being a week-long summer camp for adults. (湖中游泳、现场滑板公园和一年一度的“裸跑”活动，使该活动赢得了为期一周的成年人夏令营的美誉)”可知，这两个音乐节都包含了体育方面的活动。故选A项。
B
Deep in a forest of France’s Burgundy region, a group of enthusiasts have been building a castle with tools and methods from the late 13th century since 1995. Some of those working here are very skilled heritage people, and others are history lovers. But all of them share a deep respect for nature and a desire to return to simpler times.
The idea to build the castle was born in 1995 among three residents of the region. One of them, Maryline Martin, owns a nearby 17th-century house and is involved in work to restore different castles in the area.
“We thought that it would be amazing to imitate (模仿) how people did things in the past,” Martin tells public radio station France Culture. “We decided to use other ancient castles in this area as examples and get inspiration from descriptions in old books.”
On the construction site, the workers are all dressed in ancient clothing. The smell of fire is coming from a nearby blacksmith’s shop, where 20-year-old Matisse Lacroix is burning a piece of iron in a stove to make tools needed to build the castle.
“The temperature in the stove is around 1100℃, so the iron can be softened to make these nails,” Lacroix explains to a group of fourth-graders, who are watching him bending and shaping the iron into nails.
“Part of the project’s mission is to rediscover and pass along skills and knowledge from the past,” Martin tells reporters. “That learning aspect of the project is one reason why its construction is taking so long.”
Initially, the project was funded by European Union. Now it is financed through more than 300,000 visitors a year who pay between 12 and 15 euros each. The income is more than enough to cover the construction costs and payments for the 100 staff members.
As for the project’s future, Martin says it could take 10, 15, or even 20 more years to build. “But we’re OK with that. It’s not about finishing the project. It’s about the things we learn and discover while building,” he says. “I believe the way we’re working here is more sustainable. The future is low tech.”
24. Which of the following best describes the castle-builders
A. Famous historians. B. Enthusiastic conservationists.
C. Housing developers. D. Professional heritage researchers.
25. What is the third paragraph mainly about
A. Maryline Martin’s background. B. The project’s influence.
C. The inspirations for the project. D. The history of the castle.
26. Why has it taken so long to build the castle
A. The owners don’t have enough money.
B. The workers don’t have proper equipment.
C. The French authorities fail to provide timely support.
D. The participants want to explore the ancient building skills.
27. What is Maryline Martin’s attitude to high-tech
A. Skeptical. B. Unclear. C. Approving. D. Objective.
【答案】24. B 25. C 26. D 27. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。在法国的Burgundy地区有一群自然保护主义者正在发掘及利用十三世纪的工艺修建一座城堡。他们希望以此鼓励人们回归自然。
【24题详解】
推理判断题，根据第一段“Deep in a forest of France’s Burgundy region, a group of enthusiasts have been building a castle with tools and methods from the late 13th century since 1995. Some of those working here are very skilled heritage people, and others are history lovers. But all of them share a deep respect for nature and a desire to return to simpler times.(自1995年以来，在法国勃艮第地区的森林深处，一群爱好者一直在用13世纪晚期的工具和方法建造一座城堡。在这里工作的一些人是非常熟练的文物工作者，还有一些人是历史爱好者。但他们都对自然怀有深深的敬意，并渴望回到更简单的时代)”可推断，这些人是非常执着的自然保护主义者。故选B项。
【25题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段““We thought that it would be amazing to imitate (模仿) how people did things in the past,” Martin tells public radio station France Culture. “We decided to use other ancient castles in this area as examples and get inspiration from descriptions in old books.”(马丁在接受法国文化公共广播电台采访时说：“我们认为模仿过去人们的做事方式会很神奇。”“我们决定以该地区的其他古堡为例，从古书中的描述中获得灵感。”)”可知，本段主要讲述了这个项目的灵感来源。故选C项。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据第六段““Part of the project’s mission is to rediscover and pass along skills and knowledge from the past,” Martin tells reporters. “That learning aspect of the project is one reason why its construction is taking so long.”(马丁告诉记者：“这个项目的部分使命是重新发现和传承过去的技能和知识。”“这个项目的学习方面是它的建设需要这么长时间的原因之一。”)”及最后一段“As for the project’s future, Martin says it could take 10, 15, or even 20 more years to build. “But we’re OK with that. It’s not about finishing the project. It’s about the things we learn and discover while building,” he says. “I believe the way we’re working here is more sustainable. The future is low tech.”(至于这个项目的未来，马丁说，它可能需要10年、15年甚至20年才能建成。“但我们对此很满意。这不是完成项目的问题。它是关于我们在建设过程中学习和发现的东西，”他说。“我相信我们这里的工作方式更具可持续性。未来是低科技的。”)”可知，建造这座城堡花了这么长时间，是因为参与者想要探索古代建筑技巧。故选D项。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“As for the project’s future, Martin says it could take 10, 15, or even 20 more years to build. “But we’re OK with that. It’s not about finishing the project. It’s about the things we learn and discover while building,” he says. “I believe the way we’re working here is more sustainable. The future is low tech.”(至于这个项目的未来，马丁说，它可能需要10年、15年甚至20年才能建成。“但我们对此很满意。这不是完成项目的问题。它是关于我们在建设过程中学习和发现的东西，”他说。“我相信我们这里的工作方式更具可持续性。未来是低科技的。”)”可推断，Maryline Martin对高科技持怀疑态度。故选A项。
C
A recently published paper finds that following a Mediterranean diet for three weeks can help reduce depression and anxiety among young adults.
In the study, participants in the test group were instructed to eat about six more servings of fruits and vegetables per week, compared with the control group. In addition, they were told to get per week three servings of fish besides three recommended servings per day of whole grains. As for milk, the recommendation was three servings per week, unsweetened. Participants were also asked to consume three tablespoons of nuts and seeds per week, as well as two tablespoons of olive oil per day.
“One of the shortcomings of nutrition science is that it often relies on asking people to recall what they ate and how they felt in the past. Given our failing memories, these data can be unreliable,” says Heather Francis, one of the researchers. “But our study included a device, called spectrophotometer, which can detect the degree of yellowness in the skin, which can precisely monitor the intake of carotenoids (类胡萝卜素), which the participants get from their food.”
“We have highly consistent and extensive evidence from around the globe linking Mediterranean diets to reduced depression risk,” says Felice Jacka, a professor at Deakin University in Australia who was not involved in the study. “I think the next step is to show how diets can reduce depression.”
However, it’s almost impossible to unravel how diet changes may help improve mental health according to the strict standard in medical research, where participants do not know that they are part of the group assigned to take the medicine or the placebo (安慰剂).
“In a diet study, there’s no way to ‘blind’ the participants so that they don’t know if they’re getting the ‘medicine’ or ‘placebo’,” says Heather Francis. “And research has shown that if people are told that they’re doing something that may make them less depressed, they will indeed report less depression. That’s known as the placebo effect.”
28. Each day, the young adults following the Mediterranean diet were instructed to eat ________.
A. unsweetened milk and nuts B. fish and fruits
C. vegetables and whole grains D. olive oil and seeds
29. What does the underlined word “unravel” in paragraph 5 probably mean
A. Notice. B. Prove. C. Describe. D. Ask.
30. What can we learn from Heather Francis’s words
A. It is impossible to avoid the placebo effect in his study.
B. Felice Jacka’s comment about his study is very misleading.
C. His testing method is perfect and the conclusion is very reliable.
D. The so-called placebo effect is even unavoidable in medical research.
31. In which section of a website may this text appear
A. Entertainment. B. Lifestyle. C. Science. D. Advertisement.
【答案】28. C 29. B 30. A 31. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。最新研究表明地中海式饮食能帮助青少年缓解忧郁及焦虑。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“In the study, participants in the test group were instructed to eat about six more servings of fruits and vegetables per week, compared with the control group. In addition, they were told to get per week three servings of fish besides three recommended servings per day of whole grains.(在这项研究中，与对照组相比，实验组的参与者被要求每周多吃六份水果和蔬菜。此外，他们被告知除了每天推荐的三份全谷物外，每周还要吃三份鱼)”可知，实验组每天都会吃蔬菜及未精加工的粮食。故选C项。
【29题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段“I think the next step is to show how diets can reduce depression.(我认为下一步是证明饮食是如何减少抑郁症的)”以及后文“where participants do not know that they are part of the group assigned to take the medicine or the placebo (安慰剂).(因为参与者不知道他们是被分配服用药物或安慰剂的一组)”推知，划线处应是“几乎不可能揭示饮食改变如何有助于改善心理健康”之意，推知unravel与show为同义词。故选B项。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“In a diet study, there’s no way to ‘blind’ the participants so that they don’t know if they’re getting the ‘medicine’ or ‘placebo’(在饮食研究中，没有办法让参与者‘盲目’，这样他们就不知道自己吃的是‘药物’还是‘安慰剂’)”可推断，这种食物实验无法按药品那样的严格要求进行“双盲”实验。故选A项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“A recently published paper finds that following a Mediterranean diet for three weeks can help reduce depression and anxiety among young adults.(最近发表的一篇论文发现，遵循地中海饮食三周可以帮助减少年轻人的抑郁和焦虑)”以及通读全文可知，本文主要是介绍一项最新研究成果，并不是推荐特种饮食，故最可能出现在“科学”版面。故选C项。
D
In the US, there is an old joke: “Tie an Italian’s hands behind his back and he’ll be speechless.” However, Susan Goldin-Meadowin, author of the book Thinking With Your Hands, has a rather different view.
“Almost everyone gestures, not just Italians,” she laughs. “Conference interpreters gesture in their little rooms, though no one is looking at them. Even people born blind gesture when they speak, including to each other. In the TV series, The Crown, Lady Diana is warned that her hands may reveal her real emotions, which could be dangerous and that they have to be tied together so she can learn to speak without gesturing.”
The gesture under discussion is the so-called “co-speech gesture”. It is much more abstract than such symbolic gestures like a finger over the lips for “Silence!” or raising a finger to mean “Great!”. Like words, such symbolic gestures are fixed within cultures (but vary between them). Instead, co-speech gestures that accompany speech are another channel of information and emotion. For example, subjects are asked to watch a film in which a cat runs, but they are told to lie and say it jumped. They may do so in words—while their hands will make a running movement. The co-speech gesture is not sign languages, either. They have clearly defined words and grammar.
And the co-speech gestures have great potential for practical applications. For example, some students who fail at a tricky mathematics problem may gesture in a way that indicates they understand it. Then they should be taught differently from the ones whose gestures suggest that they really understand it.
“Children with language delays caused by brain injuries at or around birth are likely to catch up verbally by the age of about 30 months, if they gesture as much as their peers (同龄人). Those who gesture less are more likely to need intensive early intervention,” Susan Goldin-Meadowin adds. “Co-speech gesturing is not just about a lack of control. It is about thinking and communication, and is an aid to both.”
32. What does Susan Goldin-Meadowin really want to tell us in paragraph 2
A. Lady Diana is probably an emotional woman.
B. Italians are very talkative and gesture too much.
C. It is unnatural for the blind to gesture to each other.
D. Co-speech gestures are used by all of us unknowingly.
33. What can we say about sign languages
A. They are as abstract as co-speech gestures.
B. They have clearly defined words and grammar.
C. They are usually learned by human beings naturally.
D. They vary from culture to culture and person to person.
34. What does the author suggest teachers do in the text
A. Put enough trust in students.
B. Encourage students to tell the truth.
C. Observe the co-speech gestures carefully.
D. Teach the tricky problems in different ways.
35. What is the best title for the text
A. Co-speech Gestures Are a Vital Part of Communication
B. Symbolic Gestures Differ Greatly From Co-speech Gestures
C. Co-speech Gestures Are More Difficult Than Sign Languages
D. Symbolic Gestures Have Great Potential for Practical Applications
【答案】32. D 33. B 34. C 35. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，文章主要介绍了一种身体语言co-speech gesture及其用途。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“Conference interpreters gesture in their little rooms, though no one is looking at them. Even people born blind gesture when they speak, including to each other. In the TV series, The Crown, Lady Diana is warned that her hands may reveal her real emotions, which could be dangerous and that they have to be tied together so she can learn to speak without gesturing.(会议口译员在他们的小房间里做手势，尽管没有人看着他们。即使是天生失明的人在说话时也会做出手势，包括对彼此说话。在电视剧《王冠》中，戴安娜王妃被警告说，她的手可能会暴露出她的真实情绪，这可能很危险，而且必须把手绑在一起，这样她才能学会说话而不做手势。)”这几个例子可推断，Susan Goldin-Meadowin认为这种co-speech gesture是下意识的，而且所有人都会用。故选D项。
【33题详解】
细节理解题，根据第三段“The co-speech gesture is not sign languages, either. They have clearly defined words and grammar.(co-speech gesture也不是手语。手语有明确的单词和语法。)”可知，手语有明确的单词和语法。故选B项。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“For example, some students who fail at a tricky mathematics problem may gesture in a way that indicates they understand it. Then they should be taught differently from the ones whose gestures suggest that they really understand it.(例如，有些学生在一道棘手的数学题上失败了，他们的手势可能表明他们理解了这道题。然后，他们应该接受与那些手势表明他们真正理解这道题的学生不同的教育。)”可推断，作者会建议教师做细致观察学生手势，来确定学生是否真正理解，避免被误导。故选C项。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段“Co-speech gesturing is not just about a lack of control. It is about thinking and communication, and is an aid to both.(Co-speech gesturing不仅仅是关于缺乏控制。它是关于思考和交流的，对两者都有帮助。)”可知，本文主要是说明co-speech gesture在交流中的重要作用。所以A项Co-speech Gestures Are a Vital Part of Communication(Co-speech Gestures 是交流的重要组成部分)符合语境。故选A项。

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。
What are the mistakes that drive college admission officials crazy—and sometimes send an application to the waste paper basket We have asked some of them what they’d prefer applicants not to do. Here are some of the highlights.
____36____. In many cases, students aren’t filling out all the data on the application, so they’re not necessarily answering all the questions. But those blanks make for an incomplete application, leaving colleges with only a partial picture of the applicants. So it’s important to pay close attention to what schools are asking for on the application.
Don’t let parents take the lead. Admission officials say parents should be actively involved in the application process. ____37____. They shouldn’t be filling out the application, writing the student’s essay or taking control of communication with school officials. They can help their children keep track of application deadlines and look for scholarships.
Don’t turn in a lengthy resume. This rule even rings true for professionals, who are advised to keep a resume to two pages or less. Regardless of the activities a student got involved in high school, experts advise applicants to keep their resume to one page. ____38____. They like to see focused students.
Don’t take an idea from someone else to write the application essay. Experienced admission officials will have read thousands of essays and can tell immediately. They want students to be original. ____39____. Most of them find self-reflection appealing and it helps to paint a more accurate picture of what the student’s individual journey has been.
Don’t forget to check program requirements. All students should check program requirements and take the necessary high school classes to help get into their preferred program. The requirements vary by college and they are usually listed on their websites. ____40____.
A. But that comes with limits
B. Don’t forget to read the directions
C. Don’t repeat information throughout the application
D. They want students to self-reflect and highlight their growth
E. Don’t list too many activities to impress admission officials
F. So it is important to get the information on each college’s website
G. Students should consider directing questions to admission officials
【答案】36. B 37. A 38. E 39. D 40. F
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了申请大学时应该注意的问题。
【36题详解】
下文“So it’s important to pay close attention to what schools are asking for on the application.(因此，密切关注学校在申请中提出的要求是很重要的)”说明要认真阅读申请说明，而B项“别忘了阅读说明”符合句意，是对本段内容的概括，也是本段的主题句。故选B项。
【37题详解】
下文“They shouldn’t be filling out the application, writing the student’s essay or taking control of communication with school officials. (他们不应该填写申请，写学生论文或控制与学校官员的沟通)”可知，家长不能完全参与申请过程，A项“但是，这是有限度的”起到了过渡作用，指出家长在申请过程中的操作是有限度的。故选A项。
【38题详解】
上文“Regardless of the activities a student got involved in high school, experts advise applicants to keep their resume to one page.(不管学生在高中参加过什么活动，专家建议申请人将简历控制在一页纸以内)”可知，申请人需要将简历控制在一页纸以内，E项“不要列过多的活动试图去加深招录人员的印象”和上文构成内容上的承接。故选E项。
【39题详解】
下文“Most of them find self-reflection appealing and it helps to paint a more accurate picture of what the student’s individual journey has been.(他们中的大多数人都觉得自我反省很有吸引力，这有助于更准确地描绘出学生的个人经历)”可知，D项“他们希望学生们自我反省，突出自己的成长”和下文构成内容上的因果关系，指出他们希望学生们自我反省，突出自己的成长是因为他们中的大多数人都觉得自我反省很有吸引力，这有助于更准确地描绘出学生的个人经历。故选D项。
【40题详解】
上文“The requirements vary by college and they are usually listed on their websites.(各个大学的要求各不相同，通常会在他们的网站上列出)”可知，F项“所以在每所大学的网站上获取信息是很重要的”和上文构成因果关系。指出因为各个大学的要求各不相同，通常会在他们的网站上列出，所以在每所大学的网站上获取信息很重要。故选F项。

【56题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：在孔子的一生中（公元前551年至公元前479年），他看到了社会上日益混乱和不公正的现象。分析该句成分可知，所填词在此处作定语，修饰disorder and injustice。而且grow与disorder and injustice之间存在逻辑上的主动关系，需用现在分词。故填growing.
【57题详解】
考查反身代词。句意：由于他看到的问题，他致力于发展一套基于五种美德的新道德规则：尊重、善良、诚实、真实和忠诚.此句主语是he,谓语动词后面的宾语是he，即主语和宾语是同一人，而且devote oneself to sth意为“投身于某事”，为固定搭配。故填himself.

【59题详解】
考查副词。句意：尊重和忠诚是孔子道德原则的两个特别重要的基石。所填词在此处修饰形容词important,作状语，修饰形容词需要用副词形式。所以需转化为该形容词的副词形式particularly。故填particularly.
【60题详解】
考查名词复数。句意：尊重和忠诚是孔子道德原则的两个特别重要的基石。principle指的是前面提到的五大道德准则，所以需用所给名词的复数形式。故填principles.
【61题详解】
考查冠词。句意：他们已经扩展到生者和死者，对祖先的尊敬已经成为一种极其重要的中国传统。tradition为单数可数名词，表示泛称，故用不定冠词，又因为空后的extremely为元音音素开头的单词，因此用不定冠词an。故填an.
【62题详解】

【63题详解】
考查不定式。句意：为了成为一个好官员，一个人必须掌握以上五种美德。be required to do sth是固定短语，意为“被要求做某事”。故填to master.

67. 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。
Mike was a big fan of football. When he was ten years old, he was admitted to join his first football team. As soon as he got home that day, he put on his uniform and admired himself in front of the mirror.
“I’m a real football player!” He said to himself and pretended to practise football.
“What are you doing, silly boy ” asked his older sister.
“I’m practising football,” said Mike.
“When people practise football, they usually use a ball,” his sister laughed.
Mike then found a football in the basement and hurried back to his room, posing with the ball in front of the mirror, again.
The next day, Mike met his teammates on the playground. The coach taught them how to kick and run after the ball. He taught them how to throw the ball in from the sidelines, using two hands while keeping both feet on the ground. Finally, they had a practice game.
It turned out that playing football was a lot harder than it looked. Every time Mike was about to kick the ball, someone else kicked it away from him. When Mike threw the ball in from the sideline, he forgot to keep both feet on the ground. The only thing that Mike was good at was cheering. Whoever scored, he would jump up and cheer for them.
On the weekend, Mike’s team was invited to take part in its first real competition with the Sun. Mike’s family all came to watch. Mike chased the ball up and down, with excitement. It came as no surprise that their team lost the match. Even so, he kept cheering for anyone who scored.
After the game, his sister came over and reminded Mike that he needed to be a real football player, not just a cheerleader. Meanwhile, his coach told Mike that if he tried to do more practice and cooperate with his teammates, he could be a better football player, too.

Finally, the day for the match between his team and the Sun came.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Motivated by their words, Mike started to take the training more seriously. Day after day, he spared no effort to practice, regardless of wind or rain. Every time he felt too tired to continue, their words lifted his spirits and pushed him to rise to his feet again. With the coach’s guidance and his dedicated training, Mike found himself making steady progress. The whole team also became more confident and was looking forward to the next match against the Sun.
Finally, the day for the match between his team and the Sun came. Thinking of all the effort he had made for the game, Mike, fully-prepared and confident, took a deep breath and stepped onto the football field. Instead of chasing the ball up and down aimlessly, he kept passing the ball right to his teammates who were better at scoring. At length, his team won the game and all the teammates ran to him and threw him into the air with deafening cheers.
