It’s no secret that Auckland(the largest city in New Zealand)is a diverse city full of different cultures and new research has shown exactly how it and the rest of the country are changing.
More than 200 ethnic groups are recorded as living here and Auckland has a wider variety of cultural groups than London or Sydney, with 40 percent of its population made up of different ethnicities.
The changing makeup of the country’s population is showed in the latest NZ Geographic magazine,which focuses on ethnic diversity,age,wealth and attitudes,drawn from the latest census(人口普查)figures.
Massey University humanities and social sciences research director Professor Paul Spoonley said Auckland’s multiculturalism today is way beyond what experts believed likely a few years ago.
Asian communities,in particular,in New Zealand have almost doubled since 2001,when 6.6 percent of the Kiwi people(New Zealanders)were Asian.The proportion(比例)in Auckland was 14.6 percent. By 2006,18.9 percent of the citizens in the city were Asian and today 23 percent identify themselves as Asian.
Nationally,the census showed 11.8 percent of the population was Asian—and that figure was increasing.“The figures are higher than I would have thought a few years back.”Mr.Spoonley said.“And the healthcare system is attracting Asian workers.”
The article also showed that Kiwis had overall become more accepting of migrant communities and particularly of Asian peoples.That had been a hugely noticeable change,Mr.Spoonley said.
An Asian community leader Kai Luey in Auckland said there were a number of things that attracted Asians to New Zealand and particularly to Auckland. “The environment is clean，there’s fresh air and there’s safety of food. There’s a good education system here in New Zealand...”
New Zealand was also considered to be a much safer place than many other countries,such as America,Canada and Australia.
4. How is Auckland different from London or Sydney
A. It changes rapidly. B. It values ethnic cultures.
C. It has a larger population. D. It is a more diverse city.
5. What does Paul Spoonley think of Auckland’s today’s multiculturalism
A. It takes experts by surprise. B. It lets experts down.
C. It is the same as he thought. D. It is due to Auckland’s education system.
6 What can we learn about from the latest NZ Geographic census figures
A Asian makes up about 12% of New Zealand’ population.
B. A hugely noticeable change is that migrants are decreasing.
C. Asian communities in New Zealand have doubled since 2006.
D. Today, less than 20% of the citizens in Auckland are Asian.
7. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Auckland— New Zealand’ Largest City
B. Auckland— New Zealand’ Safest Place
C. Auckland— New Zealand’ Melting Pot
D. Auckland— New Zealand’ Most Crowded Place

A new study, a project of the researchers from the University of Pittsburgh in Pennsylvania, finds the fitness tracker probably does not help with weight loss.
The devices are designed to record your physical activity. They are usually worn around the wrist, where they measure a person’s heart rate. The research team looked at two groups of individuals. The first wore a fitness tracker and took part in health counseling (咨询) with experts to consider the best weight-loss plan. The researchers compared this group with people who only got health counseling.
The study found that those only speaking with the health experts lost nearly 6 kilograms, but those using a fitness tracker lost only 3.5 kilograms. John Jakicic, the lead researcher, questioned the use of electronic devices for weight control in place of “effective behavioral counseling for physical activity and diet. ”
The study involved 470 subjects aged between 18 and 35. Some of them were overweight, while others were considered obese (肥胖). Over three fourths of the subjects were women. All the subjects were told to increase physical activity and start on a low-calorie diet. They had their weight measured once every six months. After six months, researchers divided the group into two parts: one continued with monthly counseling, while members of the other group were given a fitness tracker. Eighteen months later, both groups “showed significant improvements in fitness, physical activity, and diet,” with no major difference between groups. However, when it came to losing weight, the people who only spoke with experts lost nearly twice as much weight.
Jakicic said, “the study’s findings are important because effective long-term treatments are needed to address America’s obesity. ” More information is needed, he added, to learn how to best use these devices to change “physical activity and diet behaviors” in adults who want to lose weight.
8. All the subjects in the study were asked to ________.
A. start on a high-calorie diet B. wear a fitness tracker
C. increase physical activities D. record their heart rates
9. Why does Jakicic think the findings are important
A. Wearing fitness trackers hardly helps people lose weight.
B. Physical activity and diet have no effect on weight loss.
C. Handling obesity requires effective long-term treatments.
D. There are great differences in fitness between both groups.
10. What can we infer about the study mentioned in the text
A. The study went on for about two years.
B. More than 120 men took part in the study.
C. Health counseling helps lose almost 6 kilograms.
D. Wearing a fitness tracker is useful for keeping slim.
11. The purpose of the text is to ________.
A. describe how the researchers were conducting the study
B. indicate regular counseling for weight control is necessary
C. convince readers to wear fitness trackers for weight control
D. warn women are more likely to suffer from weight problems

53. 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。
Thin, average, and undisciplined, I was the underdog of the boys’ basketball tryouts (选拔赛) in seventh grade. Making the team was very important to me. Although I was extremely nervous, I truly thought I would make the team. But I went in overly optimistic, and quickly faced a cruel reality check.
When on the court, I huffed and puffed like an old man on his last legs; clearly, I was out of shape and having trouble keeping up. When it hit me that this was only the first day, and that there was a second to follow, I realized I would have to step it up in order to gain a spot on the team.
Unfortunately, day two went exactly like day one: I missed shots, passed badly like an out-of-breath fool. Hoping the coach was not watching all my bad moves, I had trouble keeping a positive attitude. Finally, Coach-who at five-foot-four usually seemed small, posted the lists of the Boys A and B Teams. Everybody quickly ran to catch a glimpse of the chosen few.
After scanning the list once, twice, three times, my name was nowhere. Although I had predicted the disaster that had now settled on me, with my head hanging. I slowly walked to the car. This experience definitely had not gone as I planned.
On the way home, I complained “How could that foolish boy is a better choice than me And…”
“Adam!” my mom cut me off. “Why don’t you realize maybe you need a little more practice You’d better go to basketball camps next summer.”
Although I did not want to believe her, I knew it was true. Failing to make the team was nobody’s fault but mine. Right then and there, in the middle of my anger, I realized I had to get my act together.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右：

Then I threw myself into as many basketball opportunities as I could find.

When I took part in the eighth-grade basketball tryouts,I was moderate,swift and strong.

Asian communities,in particular,in New Zealand have almost doubled since 2001,when 6.6 percent of the Kiwi people(New Zealanders)were Asian.The proportion(比例)in Auckland was 14.6 percent. By 2006,18.9 percent of the citizens in the city were Asian and today 23 percent identify themselves as Asian.
Nationally,the census showed 11.8 percent of the population was Asian—and that figure was increasing.“The figures are higher than I would have thought a few years back.”Mr.Spoonley said.“And the healthcare system is attracting Asian workers.”
The article also showed that Kiwis had overall become more accepting of migrant communities and particularly of Asian peoples.That had been a hugely noticeable change,Mr.Spoonley said.
An Asian community leader Kai Luey in Auckland said there were a number of things that attracted Asians to New Zealand and particularly to Auckland. “The environment is clean，there’s fresh air and there’s safety of food. There’s a good education system here in New Zealand...”
New Zealand was also considered to be a much safer place than many other countries,such as America,Canada and Australia.
4. How is Auckland different from London or Sydney
A. It changes rapidly. B. It values ethnic cultures.
C. It has a larger population. D. It is a more diverse city.
5. What does Paul Spoonley think of Auckland’s today’s multiculturalism
A. It takes experts by surprise. B. It lets experts down.
C. It is the same as he thought. D. It is due to Auckland’s education system.
6. What can we learn about from the latest NZ Geographic census figures
A. Asian makes up about 12% of New Zealand’ population.
B. A hugely noticeable change is that migrants are decreasing.
C. Asian communities in New Zealand have doubled since 2006.
D. Today, less than 20% of the citizens in Auckland are Asian.

A new study, a project of the researchers from the University of Pittsburgh in Pennsylvania, finds the fitness tracker probably does not help with weight loss.
The devices are designed to record your physical activity. They are usually worn around the wrist, where they measure a person’s heart rate. The research team looked at two groups of individuals. The first wore a fitness tracker and took part in health counseling (咨询) with experts to consider the best weight-loss plan. The researchers compared this group with people who only got health counseling.
The study found that those only speaking with the health experts lost nearly 6 kilograms, but those using a fitness tracker lost only 3.5 kilograms. John Jakicic, the lead researcher, questioned the use of electronic devices for weight control in place of “effective behavioral counseling for physical activity and diet. ”
The study involved 470 subjects aged between 18 and 35. Some of them were overweight, while others were considered obese (肥胖的). Over three fourths of the subjects were women. All the subjects were told to increase physical activity and start on a low-calorie diet. They had their weight measured once every six months. After six months, researchers divided the group into two parts: one continued with monthly counseling, while members of the other group were given a fitness tracker. Eighteen months later, both groups “showed significant improvements in fitness, physical activity, and diet,” with no major difference between groups. However, when it came to losing weight, the people who only spoke with experts lost nearly twice as much weight.
Jakicic said, “the study’s findings are important because effective long-term treatments are needed to address America’s obesity. ” More information is needed, he added, to learn how to best use these devices to change “physical activity and diet behaviors” in adults who want to lose weight.
8. All the subjects in the study were asked to ________.
A. start on a high-calorie diet B. wear a fitness tracker
C. increase physical activities D. record their heart rates
9. Why does Jakicic think the findings are important
A. Wearing fitness trackers hardly helps people lose weight.
B. Physical activity and diet have no effect on weight loss.
C. Handling obesity requires effective long-term treatments.
D. There are great differences in fitness between both groups.
10. What can we infer about the study mentioned in the text
A. The study went on for about two years.
B. More than 120 men took part in the study.
C. Health counseling helps lose almost 6 kilograms.
D. Wearing a fitness tracker is useful for keeping slim.
11. The purpose of the text is to ________.
A. describe how the researchers were conducting the study
B. indicate regular counseling for weight control is necessary
C. convince readers to wear fitness trackers for weight control
D. warn women are more likely to suffer from weight problems
【答案】8. C 9. C 10. A 11. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇科技说明文。文章讲述了宾夕法尼亚州匹兹堡大学的研究人员通过实验发现佩戴健身追踪器对减肥并没有什么帮助。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的All the subjects were told to increase physical activity and start on a low-calorie diet.可知，所有对象都被要求增加体育活动和开始低热量的饮食，故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中的the study’s findings are important because effective long-term treatments are needed to address America’s obesity可知，这次研究发现非常重要，因为要解决美国的肥胖问题需要长期有效的治疗，故选C。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中They had their weight measured once every six months. After six months, researchers divided the group into two parts: one continued with monthly counseling, while members of the other group were given a fitness tracker. Eighteen months later, both groups “showed significant improvements in fitness, physical activity, and diet,” with no major difference between groups.可知，参与实验的人先是做了六个月，六个月之后他们被分成两组，过了八个月之后对这些人进行了研究，所以这次研究持续了大约两年的时间，故选A。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的John Jakicic, the lead researcher, questioned the use of electronic devices for weight control in place of “effective behavioral counseling for physical activity and diet. ”可知，研究者John对用电子设备来代替有效的对运动和饮食的咨询提出了质疑，而且研究表明电子设备并不能对减肥起到作用，因此可以推断，有效的咨询是不能被代替的，是必要的。故选B。

【详解】考查名词。句意：对大多数毕业生来说，年鉴是高中时代的珍贵纪念品。分析句子可知，介词To后缺少名词作宾语，表示“对大多数毕业生来说”，graduates为名词复数，表示“毕业生”。故填graduates。

53. 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。
Thin, average, and undisciplined, I was the underdog of the boys’ basketball tryouts (选拔赛) in seventh grade. Making the team was very important to me. Although I was extremely nervous, I truly thought I would make the team. But I went in overly optimistic, and quickly faced a cruel reality check.
When on the court, I huffed and puffed like an old man on his last legs; clearly, I was out of shape and having trouble keeping up. When it hit me that this was only the first day, and that there was a second to follow, I realized I would have to step it up in order to gain a spot on the team.
Unfortunately, day two went exactly like day one: I missed shots, passed badly like an out-of-breath fool. Hoping the coach was not watching all my bad moves, I had trouble keeping a positive attitude. Finally, Coach-who at five-foot-four usually seemed small, posted the lists of the Boys A and B Teams. Everybody quickly ran to catch a glimpse of the chosen few.
After scanning the list once, twice, three times, my name was nowhere. Although I had predicted the disaster that had now settled on me, with my head hanging. I slowly walked to the car. This experience definitely had not gone as I planned.
On the way home, I complained “How could that foolish boy is a better choice than me And…”
“Adam!” my mom cut me off. “Why don’t you realize maybe you need a little more practice You’d better go to basketball camps next summer.”
Although I did not want to believe her, I knew it was true. Failing to make the team was nobody’s fault but mine. Right then and there, in the middle of my anger, I realized I had to get my act together.

【答案】 Then I threw myself into as many basketball opportunities as I could find. Every day, I insisted on running 10 kilometers and jumping ropes 1000 times after school to increase my energy level and physical strength. Additionally, I practiced passing, dribbling and shooting with my friends every day to improve my basketball skills. When the summer holidays came, I signed up for a basketball camp, where I got a lot of professional basketball knowledge and training from the coaches. Gradually, I found myself making great progress.
When I took part in the eighth-grade basketball tryouts, I was moderate, swift and strong. When on the court, I kept running without any trouble, dribbling freely and passing the basketball accurately. As long as I got the chance, I would try to shoot. One, two, three… I scored ten goals at last. There was no doubt that I succeeded in becoming a member of the basketball team. It was my determination and efforts that helped me achieve my dream.
