In Colonial days, farm families worked from sunrise to sunset and sometimes longer. People had little time for play. They did not have a chance to see other people as much as we do today. But sometimes they were able to turn hard work into good times and still visit with their neighbours.
In Virginia, Indian corn was an important crop. In late autumn after the weather had turned cold, the corn was ready to be harvested. Each ear had a cover of leaves called the husk (壳). The colonists pulled ears of corn from the dry stalks and stored the ears of corn. Later, they held a corn husking party.
On a clear night in November, neighbouring families gathered to husk (剥去……的壳) the corn. They lit lanterns in a barn and piled the corn in high mounds(垛) on the floor. Then everyone went to work.
Most of the corn was yellow or white. But from time to time, a red ear was found. The person who found it was supposed to have good luck.
As people worked together they enjoyed each other’s company. There was cider to drink and cakes and cookies to eat. Corn husking was a favourite with boys and girls because they liked the chance to have a party.

Every March, the country celebrates the achievements of women in American history. Even though these achievements go back a long way, most schools didn’t start focusing on women pioneers and their achievements until recently. Today, most schools teach kids about the contributions women have made to our country. How did this change come about
On March 19, 1911, a German woman named Clara Zetkin organized the very first International Women’s Day. Inspired by American working women, the event took on the causes of peace in an effort to end World War I as well as women’s rights. However, people’s interest in International Women’s Day still dwindled over the years. It gained momentum (势头) again in the 1960’s when the women’s movement caused women to wonder why they weren’t included in the history books.
By the 1970s, more female historians began to look back at women’s contributions in history. In 1978, a California school district started Women’s History Week to promote the teaching of women’s history. School officials picked the week of March 8 to include International Women’s Day. It was so popular that, in 1981, Congress passed a resolution, making the week a celebration for the entire country. The concept of studying women’s history continued to grow in popularity. In 1987, a group of women asked Congress to expand the celebration. That same year. Congress declared the entire month of March National Women’s History Month.
Today, schools and communities across the country celebrate the month with special lessons and activities designed to teach the ways women have helped shape the US. The women who have worked hard to make Women’s History Month a reality would like to see women’s history studied all year, not just every March. In 1996, the National Women’s History Museum was founded. It is a commonweal (公益) organization dedicated to preserving and celebrating the various historic contributions of women. The organization is working with Congress to open a permanent (永久的) museum site in Washington D. C.
8. What was ignored in school education in the past according to the text
A. Popularizing American history.
B. Introducing the history of WWI.
C. Sharing Americans global contributions.
D. Teaching about American women’s achievements.
9. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “dwindled” in paragraph 2
A. Started. B. Survived. C. Decreased. D. Completed.
10. What is mainly discussed in Paragraph 3
A. How women were included in the history books.
B. How Women’s History Month became a reality.
C. Why women’s history should be taught at school.
D. Why women’s contributions should be honored in history.
11. Which correctly describes the National Women’s History Museum
A. It is a non-profit organization. B. It was founded by Clara Zetkin.
C. It was confirmed by Congress. D. It is a museum in Washington D.C.
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. A

细节理解题。根据第一段“Even though these achievements go back a long way, most schools didn’t start focusing on women pioneers and their achievements until recently. (尽管这些成就可以追溯到很久以前，但直到最近，大多数学校才开始关注女性先驱及其成就)”可知，过去美国学校忽视讲授有关女性的成就。故选D。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段“However, people’s interest in International Women’s Day still dwindled over the years. It gained momentum (势头) again in the 1960’s when the women’s movement caused women to wonder why they weren’t included in the history books.(然而，多年来，人们对国际妇女节的兴趣仍然在dwindled。20世纪60年代，当妇女运动让妇女们想知道为什么她们没有被载入史册时，它再次获得了动力)”可知，20世纪60年代，庆祝女性成就的节日再次获得势头，推测前句表示多年来，人们对国际妇女节的兴趣在减少，划线单词表示“减少”，与decreased同义。故选C。
【10题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段“By the 1970s, more female historians began to look back at women’s contributions in history. In 1978, a California school district started Women’s History Week to promote the teaching of women’s history. School officials picked the week of March 8 to include International Women’s Day.

Not sleeping enough or getting a bad night’s sleep over and over makes it hard to control your appetite. And that sets you up for all sorts of health problems, including obesity (肥胖) , heart disease and high blood pressure.
The link between poor sleep and a greater body mass index(BMI) has been shown in study after study, but researchers typically relied on the memories of the participants to record how well they slept.
Sleep apps on fitness trackers, smartphones and watches have changed all that. In a new study researchers tracked sleep quality for 120,000 people for up to two years.
The results showed sleep durations (持续时间) and patterns are highly variable between people. Despite that, the study found people with BMIs of 30 or above — which is considered obese by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention－had slightly shorter sleep durations and more variable sleep patterns.
It didn’t take much less sleep to see the effect. People with BMIs over 30 only slept about 15 minutes less than those less weighty people.
There were some limitations to the study, naps(午睡) were not included, other health conditions could not be factored in, and people who use wearable tracking devices are typically younger, healthier and from a higher economic status than those who do not wear trackers.
“These are quite pricey devices, and they are not approved by the US Food and Drug Administration. The results would need to be validated (确认) by the appropriate FDA-approved devices, and because the study is likely on younger people who are more economically well off, it needs further study whether that really applies to older folks with poor sleep.” said Dasgupta, the associate program director.
However, Dasgupta added, a major plus for the study is that it did monitor people for over two years, and the results corroborated previous research and were “not surprising.”
While we cannot determine the direction of association from our study result, these findings provide further support to the idea that sleep patterns are associated with weight management and overall health.
12. How does the new study differ from previous studies
A. It lasts the longest time in history. B. It uses apps to record participants’ sleep.
C. It specially improves participants’ sleep quality. D. It relied on participants’ memory to record data.
13. What is Dasgupta’s attitude toward the new finding
A. Doubtful B. Shocked C. Cautious D. Dissatisfied
14. What does the underlined word “corroborated” probably mean in Paragraph 8
A. limit B. correct C. confirm D. combine
15. What can be the best title for the text
A. Sleep Quality Varies from Person to Person
B. Sleep Apps Are Widely Used to Monitor Sleep
C. Young People Are Paying More Attention to Obesity
D. Lack of Sleep May Be Possibly Connected with Obesity
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项新的科学研究通过为期两年使用睡眠应用程序对参与者的追踪调查结果表明睡眠不足会导致肥胖。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Sleep apps on fitness trackers, smartphones and watches have changed all that. In a new study researchers tracked sleep quality for 120,000 people for up to two years.(健身追踪器、智能手机和手表上的睡眠应用改变了这一切。在一项新的研究中，研究人员对12万人的睡眠质量进行了长达两年的跟踪调查)”可知，新研究的不同在于研究人员使用睡眠应用程序来进行记录。故选B。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第七段““These are quite pricey devices, and they are not approved by the US Food and Drug Administration. The results would need to be validated (确认) by the appropriate FDA-approved devices, and because the study is likely on younger people who are more economically well off, it needs further study whether that really applies to older folks with poor sleep.” said Dasgupta, the associate program director.(“这些都是相当昂贵的设备，而且它们没有得到美国食品和药物管理局的批准。研究结果需要得到FDA批准的适当设备的验证，而且由于这项研究可能是针对经济状况较好的年轻人，因此还需要进一步研究，这是否真的适用于睡眠质量差的老年人。项目副主任达斯古普塔说)”可知，达斯古普塔认为这次研究有一些局限性，因此是否符合老年人的情况还有待进一步观察。由此推知，他的态度是谨慎的。故选C。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段“The link between poor sleep and a greater body mass index(BMI) has been shown in study after study, but researchers typically relied on the memories of the participants to record how well they slept.(一项又一项的研究表明，睡眠质量差和身体质量指数(BMI)较高之间存在联系，但研究人员通常依靠参与者的记忆来记录他们的睡眠质量)”可知，以前的研究已经证明了睡眠不足和体重之间存在着联系，再根据划线词后文“previous research and were “not surprising.””推断这次的研究结果和之前的研究结果是一致的，进一步证实了以前的研究结果。故划线词意思是“证实”。故选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段“The results showed sleep durations (持续时间) and patterns are highly variable between people. Despite that, the study found people with BMIs of 30 or above — which is considered obese by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention－had slightly shorter sleep durations and more variable sleep patterns.(结果显示，人与人之间的睡眠持续时间和模式差异很大。尽管如此，研究发现，BMI指数在30或以上的人——美国疾病控制与预防中心认为这是肥胖——睡眠时间略短，睡眠模式更多变)”和最后一段“While we cannot determine the direction of association from our study result, these findings provide further support to the idea that sleep patterns are associated with weight management and overall health.(虽然我们不能从我们的研究结果中确定关联的方向，但这些发现为睡眠模式与体重管理和整体健康相关的观点提供了进一步的支持)”可知，文章主要介绍新的研究再一次证实睡眠问题和肥胖以及其他疾病有关。故D项“睡眠不足可能与肥胖有关”最符合文章标题。故选D。

18题详解】

【19题详解】

【20题详解】
根据下文“you’d better make a quick Google search or turn to a comprehensive book to better interact with the locals, and avoid offending them during your stay!

考查动词词义辨析。句意：当一种文化产品被进口时，该产品不能覆盖现有的文化，因此取代它。A. overcoming克服；B. accepting接受；C. attracting吸引；D. replacing代替。由下一句“进口产品要适应当地情况”可知，进口产品的现有文化会被替代。故选D项。
【32题详解】
考查名词词义辨析。句意：任何人相信一个进口美国大众文化产品的社会将成为美国的翻版，那就是天真。A. source来源；B. supplier供应者；C. copy复制品、翻版；D. target目标。由全文语境可知，进口别国文化产品就会成为别国的翻版，这是不现实的，所以用copy，符合文意。故选C项。
【33题详解】
考查名词词义辨析。句意：美国似乎在文化产品的出口方面有着最有力的一手，但作为一个出口国而非进口国，它有一种“回力棒”效应。A. effect影响；B. feedback反馈；C. disadvantage缺点；D. idea想法。由下文“欧洲和日本对美国文化的了解比美国人对欧洲或日本文化的了解要多得多”可知，美国出口文化产品会让别国了解本国，产生了相反的影响，即“回力棒”效应。故选A项。
【34题详解】
考查介词短语辨析。句意：他们对美国文化的了解比美国人对欧洲或日本文化的了解要多得多。A. in particular尤其；B. in general大体上；C. in contrast相反；D. in the meantime同时。由全文语境可知，通过文化产品的输入，欧洲和日本对美国文化的了解不可能很细致，只能是大体上的。故选B项。
【35题详解】
考查名词词义辨析。句意：这些国家可以利用他们对美国社会和价值观的了解来增加他们在美国市场上成功的机会。A. values价值；B. economy经济；C. policies政策；D. characteristics特点。由全文语境可知，美国文化产品输出时，文化产品会带有美国社会的价值观，其他国家就能间接了解美国的价值观。故选A项。
【点睛】完形填空的解题技巧之一就是要根据上下文来学会“推理”出最佳选项。同学们要遵循“上下求索”的原则来查找信息。例如，第2小题要求判断英意两国的电影业与美国出口之间是什么状态。该题可依据下一句“这两个国家都报告说，每年售出的电影票中，85%到95%是在美国制作的电影”可知，英意两国电影业与美国出口之间是依赖状态，所以用dependent。故选D项。

【36题详解】
考查表语从句。句意：第一个挑战是她必须适应不同国家的生活。分析句子结构，空处引导表语从句，且从句的成分和意义均完整，所以应用that引导，that不充当成分，只起连接作用且无词义。故填that。
【37题详解】

【40题详解】
考查动词时态、语态和主谓一致。句意：学生的课堂参与度作为最终结果的一部分。根据上下文时态可知，这里应用一般过去时。主语Students’ participation为不可数名词，且和include之间是动宾关系，所以应用被动语态，且谓语应用单数形式。故填was included。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：经过几个星期的努力学习，谢蕾发现自己在课堂上可以大胆发言了。这里是“find+宾语+宾补”结构，herself和speak之间是主谓关系，且这里表示课堂上正在进行的动作，应用现在分词。故填speaking。
【42题详解】
考查名词。句意：她关于中国传统艺术的演讲取得了巨大成功，这增强了她的信心。空处应用名词，作主语。presentation意为“陈述，说明”。故填presentation。
【43题详解】

【44题详解】
考查代词。句意：英国人对中国文化着迷，渴望了解更多。这里指渴望了解更多中国文化，这里指代前面的Chinese culture，所以应用it。故填it。
【45题详解】
考查动词时态。句意：因此，在她学习商务的同时，她充当了一名文化使者，在中英之间架起了一座桥梁。空处充当主句的谓语，根据上下文时态可知，这里应用一般过去时。故填acted。

用单词的适当形式完成句子。
46. The scientist came in, __________ (follow) by her assistant. （所给词的适当形式填空）
【答案】followed
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：科学家走进房间，后面跟着她的助手。分析句子可知，空处填非谓语动词，The woman 与follow在逻辑上是被动关系，所以用过去分词作状语。故填followed。
47. I received a bunch __________ flowers yesterday. （用适当的词填空）
【答案】of
【解析】
【详解】考查介词。句意：我昨天收到一束花。表示“一束”短语为a bunch of，故填of。
48. _________(find)the course very difficult, she decided to move to a lower level. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】Finding
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：由于觉得课程很难，她决定转到低一年级。句子谓语动词为decided，设空处应用非谓语动词，find与逻辑主语she之间为主谓关系，应用现在分词，作状语。句首的单词首字母要大写。故填Finding。
49. The bike needs __________ (repair) . （所给词的适当形式填空）
【答案】repairing##to be repaired
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：自行车需要修理。need做实义动词，表示“需要”时，有两种表达：sth. need doing=sth. need to be done“某事需要被做”，根据句意，故填repairing或to be repaired。
50. The students went out of the classroom, laughing and ________ (talk).（所给词的适当形式填空）
【答案】talking
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：同学们有说有笑地走出教室。句子谓语动词为went out，所以此处为非谓语动词。动词laugh和talk与逻辑主语students之间是主动关系，因而用现在分词形式作状语。故填talking。
51. Thanks ________ his effort, it is more successful than we have expected. (用适当的词填空)
【答案】to
【解析】
【详解】考查固定短语。句意：多亏了他的努力，它比我们预期的要成功。 thanks to“由于；多亏”是固定短语，根据句意，故填to。

【答案】complaining
【解析】
【详解】考查固定句型和非谓语动词。句意：抱怨而不采取行动是没有用的。根据空格前的It is no use可知，此处用固定句型It is no use doing sth表示“做某事是没有用的”，所以此处用提示词的动名词形式。故填complaining。
54. I’ll recommend you to visit Xi’an, __________ there are a great number of places of interest. （用适当的词填空）
【答案】where
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句。句意：我建议你去西安，那里有很多名胜古迹。非限制性定语从句修饰先行词Xi’an，关系词在从句作地点状语，故填where。
55. Chang Shana, __________ outstanding designer and educator in China, was just 13 when her love affair with Dunhuang began. （用适当的词填空）
【答案】an
【解析】
【详解】考查冠词。句意：常沙娜是中国杰出的设计师和教育家，她13岁时就爱上了敦煌。由单数可数名词designer and educator可知，此处泛指“一个”，应该用不定冠词，且outstanding是发音以元音音素开头的单词，故填an。

Whether to Study at Home or Abroad
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Recently whether to study at home or abroad is brought to our attention. Opinions vary from person to person.
Some people are in favor of the idea of getting education at home. They hold the opinion that studying at home gives them a sense of security, which means the help from family or friends is always available whenever they encounter some troubles. However, other people stand on the different ground. They are firmly convinced that studying overseas enables them to be independent and try their best to adapt to every aspect abroad.
From my point of view, it is difficult to say which one is better, as it depends very much on the students’ own intention and family financial background.

In Colonial days, farm families worked from sunrise to sunset and sometimes longer. People had little time for play. They did not have a chance to see other people as much as we do today. But sometimes they were able to turn hard work into good times and still visit with their neighbours.
In Virginia, Indian corn was an important crop. In late autumn after the weather had turned cold, the corn was ready to be harvested. Each ear had a cover of leaves called the husk (壳). The colonists pulled ears of corn from the dry stalks and stored the ears of corn. Later, they held a corn husking party.
On a clear night in November, neighbouring families gathered to husk (剥去……的壳) the corn. They lit lanterns in a barn and piled the corn in high mounds(垛) on the floor. Then everyone went to work.
Most of the corn was yellow or white. But from time to time, a red ear was found. The person who found it was supposed to have good luck.

Every March, the country celebrates the achievements of women in American history. Even though these achievements go back a long way, most schools didn’t start focusing on women pioneers and their achievements until recently. Today, most schools teach kids about the contributions women have made to our country. How did this change come about
On March 19, 1911, a German woman named Clara Zetkin organized the very first International Women’s Day. Inspired by American working women, the event took on the causes of peace in an effort to end World War I as well as women’s rights. However, people’s interest in International Women’s Day still dwindled over the years. It gained momentum (势头) again in the 1960’s when the women’s movement caused women to wonder why they weren’t included in the history books.
By the 1970s, more female historians began to look back at women’s contributions in history. In 1978, a California school district started Women’s History Week to promote the teaching of women’s history. School officials picked the week of March 8 to include International Women’s Day. It was so popular that, in 1981, Congress passed a resolution, making the week a celebration for the entire country. The concept of studying women’s history continued to grow in popularity. In 1987, a group of women asked Congress to expand the celebration. That same year. Congress declared the entire month of March National Women’s History Month.
Today, schools and communities across the country celebrate the month with special lessons and activities designed to teach the ways women have helped shape the US. The women who have worked hard to make Women’s History Month a reality would like to see women’s history studied all year, not just every March. In 1996, the National Women’s History Museum was founded. It is a commonweal (公益) organization dedicated to preserving and celebrating the various historic contributions of women. The organization is working with Congress to open a permanent (永久的) museum site in Washington D. C.
8. What was ignored in school education in the past according to the text
A. Popularizing American history.
B. Introducing the history of WWI.
C. Sharing Americans global contributions.
D. Teaching about American women’s achievements.
9. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “dwindled” in paragraph 2
A. Started. B. Survived. C. Decreased. D. Completed.
10. What is mainly discussed in Paragraph 3
A. How women were included in the history books.
B. How Women’s History Month became a reality.
C. Why women’s history should be taught at school.
D. Why women’s contributions should be honored in history.
11. Which correctly describes the National Women’s History Museum
A. It is a non-profit organization. B. It was founded by Clara Zetkin.
C. It was confirmed by Congress. D. It is a museum in Washington D.C.
D
Not sleeping enough or getting a bad night’s sleep over and over makes it hard to control your appetite. And that sets you up for all sorts of health problems, including obesity (肥胖) , heart disease and high blood pressure.
The link between poor sleep and a greater body mass index(BMI) has been shown in study after study, but researchers typically relied on the memories of the participants to record how well they slept.
Sleep apps on fitness trackers, smartphones and watches have changed all that. In a new study researchers tracked sleep quality for 120,000 people for up to two years.
The results showed sleep durations (持续时间) and patterns are highly variable between people. Despite that, the study found people with BMIs of 30 or above — which is considered obese by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention－had slightly shorter sleep durations and more variable sleep patterns.
It didn’t take much less sleep to see the effect. People with BMIs over 30 only slept about 15 minutes less than those less weighty people.
There were some limitations to the study, naps(午睡) were not included, other health conditions could not be factored in, and people who use wearable tracking devices are typically younger, healthier and from a higher economic status than those who do not wear trackers.
“These are quite pricey devices, and they are not approved by the US Food and Drug Administration. The results would need to be validated (确认) by the appropriate FDA-approved devices, and because the study is likely on younger people who are more economically well off, it needs further study whether that really applies to older folks with poor sleep.” said Dasgupta, the associate program director.
However Dasgupta added, a major plus for the study is that it did monitor people for over two years, and the results corroborated previous research and were “not surprising.”
While we cannot determine the direction of association from our study result, these findings provide further support to the idea that sleep patterns are associated with weight management and overall health.
12. How does the new study differ from previous studies
A. It lasts the longest time in history. B. It uses apps to record participants’ sleep.
C. It specially improves participants’ sleep quality. D. It relied on participants’ memory to record data.
13. What is Dasgupta’s attitude toward the new finding
A. Doubtful B. Shocked C. Cautious D. Dissatisfied
14. What does the underlined word “corroborated” probably mean in Paragraph 8
A. limit B. correct C. confirm D. combine
15. What can be the best title for the text
A. Sleep Quality Varies from Person to Person
B. Sleep Apps Are Widely Used to Monitor Sleep
C. Young People Are Paying More Attention to Obesity
D. Lack of Sleep May Be Possibly Connected with Obesity

Have you ever watched a silent television show and tried to predict how the characters were feeling according to their body language The ability to understand people’s body language is a skill that’s almost born inside of us. ____16____. This skill develops as we grow older, which is called non-verbal communication.
Body language helps us communicate what we’re feeling without saying much at all. Think about a time when you were very angry.

But gestures have specific meanings across different cultures. Take touch for example. ____17____. In India, however, the ideal way to greet someone is by touching their feet, not by shaking their hand.
In some places, gestures meaning hellos and goodbyes and touches indicating friendship and love are all the same. But the problem arises because some gestures have vastly different meanings in different cultures. For example, the “OK” symbol is used as a superb symbol in India, but in Turkey, this symbol is considered offensive (冒犯性的). ____18____.
So, what should we do Should we not use gestures at all Of course not. ____19____. No matter how much we try to stop ourselves, we will end up communicating non-verbally in some way or another.
____20____, you’d better make a quick Google search or turn to a comprehensive book to better interact with the locals, and avoid offending them during your stay!
A. It was a very kind and thoughtful gesture.
B. So, the next time you decide to travel to another country
C. When you flash the “OK” sign there, you’re asking for a fight.
D. They also use a system of sounds and body language to communicate.
E. Even the smallest children can figure out when their mothers are mad.
F. Gestures are something that comes with the language of communication.
