学校：___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________
一、阅读理解
My Favourite Books
Jo Usmar is a writer for Cosmopolitan and co-author of the This Book Will series(系列) of lifestyle books. Here she picks her top reads.
Matilda
Roald Dahl
I once wrote a paper on the influence of fairy tales on Roald Dahl’s writing and it gave me a new appreciation for his strange and delightful words. Matilda’s battles with her cruel parents and the bossy headmistress, Miss Trunchbull, are equally funny and frightening, but they’re also aspirational.
After Dark
Haruki Murakami
It’s about two sisters—Eri, a model who either won’t or can’t stop sleeping, and Mari, a young student. In trying to connect to her sister, Mari starts changing her life and discovers a world of diverse “night people” who are hiding secrets.
Gone Girl
Gillian Fynn
There was a bit of me that didn’t want to love this when everyone else on the planet did, but the horror story is brilliant. There’s tension and anxiety from the beginning as Nick and Amy battle for your trust. It’s a real whodunit and the frustration when you realise what’s going on is horribly enjoyable.
The Stand
Stephen King
This is an excellent fantasy novel from one of the best storytellers around. After a serious flu outbreak wipes out 99.4% of the world’s population, a battle unfolds between good and evil among those left. Randall Flagg is one of the scariest characters ever.
1．Who does “I” refer to in the text
A. Stephen King. B. Gillian Flynn. C. Jo Usmar. D. Roald Dahl.
2．Which of the following tells about Mari and Eri
A. Cosmopolitan. B. Matilda. C. After Dark. D. The Stand.
3．What kind of book is Gone Girl
A. A folk tale. B. A biography. C. A love story. D. A horror story.
When you hear the word “birthmark”, you probably think of one of those black or brown spots that you have on your body. For me, it’s different — I have them on my lips and inside my mouth. I’m used to being asked, “What are those black marks on your lips ” When I tell people they’re birthmarks, they usually say, “That’s strange.” I used to consider them ugly. However, my mom calls them beauty marks.
In pictures, I used to hide my birthmarks by pursing(噘起) my lips so I wouldn’t have to deal with people’s questions. As I was growing up, people wore me out with them. Some people would ask me the same questions even before knowing my name. In society I feel like we judge people by their looks before their personality.
My birthmarks are caused by a genetic(基因的) condition from my mom’s side of the family. My mom’s mom has birthmarks on her lips, and my mom’s uncle and my uncle have some on their bodies. Every year I plan to have a procedure to remove them. But when imagining the process, I always get nervous and give up.
My cousin faces a similar challenge. She has a huge birthmark that takes up her whole arm. She’s never tried to hide it or change her appearance. Once, her grandmother told her that the birthmark looked extremely prominent and suggested that she should wear long sleeves more often. If my cousin had actually taken that suggestion, she wouldn’t be such a person as she is.
Inspired by my cousin, I am finally accepting who I am and now I don’t hesitate when someone asks me about them either. I say, “They’re beauty marks” and smile without pursing my lips.
4．How did the author feel when asked about the birthmarks
A. She felt excited to show her difference.
B. She felt annoyed to give others an answer.
C. She was scared to be made fun of by people.
D. She was bored to be faced with the question.
5．Who has the similar birthmarks like the author
A. Her mother. B. Her grandmother. C. Her cousin. D. Her uncle.
6．What can be inferred about the author’s cousin
A. She dislikes talking about her birthmark.
B. She never judges others by their looks.
C. She is more confident than the author.
D. She has taken her grandma’s suggestion.
7．What does the underlined word “prominent” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Brilliant. B. Obvious. C. Harmful. D. Impressive.
Does handwriting matter Not very much, according to many educators. However, scientists say it is far too soon to declare handwriting is not important. New evidence suggests that the link between handwriting and educational development is deep.
Children not only learn to read more quickly when they first learn to write by hand, but they are also better able to create ideas and remember information. In other words, it’s not only what we write that matters — but how.
A study led by Karin James, a psychologist at Indiana University, gave support to that view. A group of children, who had not learned to read and write, were offered a letter or a shape on a card and asked to copy it in one of three ways: draw the image on a page but with a dotted outline(虚线), draw it on a piece of blank white paper, or type it on a computer. Then the researchers put the children in a brain scanner and showed them the image again.
It was found that when children had drawn a letter freehand without a dotted outline or a computer, the activity in three areas of the brain were increased. These three areas work actively in adults when they read and write. By contrast, children who chose the other two ways showed no such effect. Dr. James attributes the differences to the process of free handwriting: Not only must we first plan and take action in a way but we are also likely to produce a result that is variable. Those are not necessary when we have an outline.
It’s time for educators to change their mind and pay more attention to children’s handwriting.
8．What do scientists mean by saying “it is far too soon to declare handwriting is not important”？
A. Handwriting is not very important to children.
B. Handwriting has nothing to do with education.
C. Handwriting should not be ignored at present.
D. Handwriting can not be learned in a short time.
9．What does “that view” in Para. 3 refer to
A. Children read quickly when they write by hand.
B. How we write is as important as what we write.
C. Children create ideas and remember information.
D.A group of students should know what to write.
10．Which is NOT the children’s task in the experiment
A. Copy the image on a page but with a dotted outline.
B. Draw the image on a piece of blank white paper.
C. Type the image directly on a computer.
D. Put a brain scanner and show the image again.
11．According to the passage, the author obviously _______ giving up handwriting.
A.is for B.is against C.is responsible for D. doesn’t care about
One of Britain’s most outstanding scientists says the growth in use of electronic tablets and smartphones is causing people to spend at least one hour less outdoors each day, so that they need to take regular vitamin D supplements(补充) to make up for the lack of sunlight they receive naturally.
Speaking at the Hay Literary Festival in Wales, geneticist Steve Jones said he himself was a follower to the cause and urged others to follow. “I never thought I would be a person who would take vitamin supplements, I always thought it was absolute nonsense. But now I take vitamin D every day. Today, because I knew the sun wasn’t going to shine, I took an extra one,” he said.
Exposure to UV light from the sun is the major source of vitamin D. However, people are spending less and less time outdoors in many areas. The problem is particularly serious in Scotland. “The Scots are the palest people in the world…for their entire body systems are crying out for vitamin D,” he said, adding that life expectancy in Scotland is two years shorter than in England or Wales. Multiple sclerosis(多发性硬化症), a medical condition which is often seen in northern Europe, is also higher in Scotland than in England.
Vitamin D helps with the absorption of Ca, which helps keep bones strong, and he said the fact that rickets, a bone disease, was making a comeback in Britain after nearly 50 years was another sign of how changing behavior patterns were bringing physical harm.
Jones admitted that concerns over the damaging effects on skin of long-time exposure to the sun were reasonable, but said sunlight was healthy and necessary for the human body, and could help in lowering blood pressure. “If you lie on the beach for an hour, you will drop your blood pressure by about 10 points, because it relaxes your blood vessels(血管). So, get out in the sun while we still can.” He said.
12．How are people affected by the rise of technology according to the passage
A. They are more sensitive to sunlight. B. They take more medicines.
C. They get less vitamin D than before. D. They become addicted to electronic games.
13．What’s Jones’ attitude towards taking vitamin D supplements
A. Skeptical. B. Cautious. C. Worried. D. Supportive.
14．Why are the Scots the palest people in the world
A. Because they are in great need of sunlight.
B. Because they don’t’ have sunlight at all.
C. Because their blood pressure is very low.
D. Because they are easy to suffer multiple sclerosis.
15．What may be the best title for the text
A. Get out and gain more Vitamin D
B. Head for the beach and enjoy sunshine
C. Keep away from tablets and phones
D. Say no to vitamin D supplements
二、七选五
16．Being independent is an important skill for people who want to take control of their lives. Here are some tips on how to be independent.
Believe in yourself. If you don’t believe in yourself, then who else will ①_________ No one can speak the words on your lips and not everyone is going to agree with what you say.
②_________ If you don’t have faith in yourself, you will always doubt yourself and turn to others for help every time you have to make a decision. Try to move away from that.

三、完形填空（20空）
I grew up one of ten children on a farm in Wyoming. After my dad’s service in World War II, he was 1 again to fight during the Korean War, and when he returned home, he couldn’t drink 2 to numb (麻痹) his terrible memories. He struggled to 3 for his growing family.
On our occasional trips to town, I 4 out boxfuls of books from the library. When I opened a book, I could 5 myself in unknown places — where children weren’t hungry and were in 6 of little.
When I wasn’t daydreaming, my 7 was the life I shared with my brothers and sisters. At night I hid under the covers 8 to silence the sounds of life in an alcoholic home. Classmates asked 9 we didn’t have electricity or a telephone. I suppose my explanations were 10 more than lies, but the stories I told improved 11 every book I read.
Starting at a very young age, my siblings (兄弟姐妹) and I sometimes got jobs to earn money — to put more food on the family table. We 12 newspapers, babysat, and cleaned other people’s houses.
Mom grew vegetables, raised chickens, and baked bread, so we seldom went hungry, even when supper was only a pot of beans. 13 my real hunger wasn’t for food - it was a hunger for a better life. It was a hunger for knowledge about the world 14 our simple existence. It was a hunger to prove dad 15 when he told us we would never amount to anything.
Hunger motivated my brothers and sisters to achieve much 16 than our parents expected 17 us. We devoured (如饥似渴地吸取) the offerings of the public schools because we realized that 18 would be our steppingstone into a brighter future.
Now I’m 19 of the accomplishments of my siblings: an art professor; a well—known doctor; plus business owners. And me, I’m the keeper of the family stores. I’ll never know if we would have so many accumulated successes if we had not known 20 as children. But this I do know: I believe it can be a good thing.

I really did not know what to do at that point but I went to the police station. The policeman were very kind to me.

5．答案：B
解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中的“For me, it’s different-I have them on my lips and inside my mouth”(对于我而言，这是不同的－我嘴唇上和嘴巴里面都有胎记。)可知，作者的胎记在嘴唇上和嘴巴里，再结合第三段中的“My mom’s mom has birthmarks on her lips”(我外祖母嘴唇上也有胎记)可知，作者的外祖母也有胎记在嘴唇上，所以作者和外祖母有相似的胎记，故选B。
6．答案：C
解析：推理判断题。依据第四段中的“My cousin faces a similar challenge. She has a huge birthmark that takes up her whole arm. She’s never tried to hide it or change her appearance”(我表姐也面临同样的挑战。她有一块巨大的胎记占据她的整个手臂。她从来没试着掩盖胎记，或者是改变自己的外表。)和第五段中的“Inspired by my cousin”(受表姐的鼓舞)可知，作者的表姐比作者自信，故选C。

9．答案：B
解析：词句猜测题。根据第二段“it’s not only what we write that matters — but how.(重要的不仅是我们写什么，还有怎么写。)”以及第三段“A study led by Karin James, a psychologist at Indiana University, gave support to that view.(印第安纳大学心理学家Karin James领导的一项研究支持了这一观点。)”可知，“that view”指的是怎样书写和写什么都很重要。故选B。
10．答案：D
解析：细节理解题。根据第三段的“A group of children, who had not learned to read and write, were offered a letter or a shape on a card and asked to copy it in one of three ways: draw the image on a page but with a dotted outline (虚线), draw it on a piece of blank white paper, or type it on a computer. Then the researchers put the children in a brain scanner and showed them the image again.(一群孩子，他们没有学会读和写，都被提供了卡片上的字母或形状，并被要求将其以三种方式之一复制：在页面上绘制图像但虚线轮廓，画在一张空白的纸，或在电脑上输入。然后，研究人员将这些儿童置于脑部扫描仪前，再次给他们看这幅图像。)”可知，放置大脑扫描仪，再次显示图像不是孩子们在实验中的任务，故选D。
11．答案：B
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段的“It’s time for educators to change their mind and pay more attention to children’s handwriting.(是时候让教育工作者改变他们的想法，更多地关注孩子们的书写了。)”可知作者的观点是反对放弃用手书写，故选B。
12．答案：C
解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中的“One of Britain’s most outstanding scientists says the growth in use of electronic tablets and smartphones is causing people to spend at least one hour less outdoors each day, so that they need to take regular vitamin D supplements (补充) to make up for the lack of sunlight they receive naturally.(英国一名最杰出的科学家表示，电子平板电脑和智能手机使用的增长导致人们每天在户外的时间减少了至少一个小时，因此他们需要定期服用维生素D补充剂，以弥补他们自然吸收的阳光不足。)”可知，平板电脑和智能手机使用的增长导致人们待在户外的时间很少，他们摄入的维生素D比以前少了，以至于他们需要服用维生素D补充剂。故选C。
13．答案：D
解析：推理判断题。根据第二段中的“geneticist Steve Jones said he himself was a follower to the cause and urged others to follow. “I never thought I would be a person who would take vitamin supplements, I always thought it was absolute nonsense. But now I take vitamin D every day.(遗传学家Steve Jones说，他自己也是这一事业的追随者，并敦促其他人也追随他。“我从来没有想过我会是一个服用维生素补充剂的人，我一直认为这完全是无稽之谈。但是现在我每天都吃维生素D。)”可知，他之前认为服用维生素补充剂是毫无意义的，但是现在每天都会服用维生素D，并且鼓励别人追随这一做法。因此可以推断他是支持服用维生素D补充剂的。故选D。
14．答案：A
解析：推理判断题。根据第三段中的“The Scots are the palest people in the world…for their entire body systems are crying out for vitamin D(苏格兰人是世界上肤色最苍白的人……因为他们的整个身体系统都急需维生素D)”可知，苏格兰人全身的系统都急需维生素D。此处需理解“cry out for”当于“in great need”，意为“迫切需要”。再结合第三段第一句阐述的事实“Exposure to UV light from the sun is the major source of vitamin D.(暴露在太阳紫外线下是维生素D的主要来源。)”，以及第三段中的“people are spending less and less time outdoors in many areas. The problem is particularly serious in Scotland(人们花在户外的时间越来越少。这个问题在苏格兰尤为严重)”可知，苏格兰人苍白是因为他们非常需要阳光。故选A。
15．答案：A
解析：主旨大意题。通读全文，文章开头讲现在电子设备使人们在户外时间越来越少，天然维生素D摄入越来越少，危害健康，以苏格兰人日晒少，脸色苍白，维生素D缺乏导致缺钙的严重性，后面讲述科学家支持补充维D，尤其是最后一段中的“If you lie on the beach for an hour, you will drop your blood pressure by about 10 points, because it relaxes your blood vessels So, get out in the sun while we still can(如果你在沙滩上躺上一个小时，你的血压会下降10点左右，因为它会放松你的血管。所以，趁我们还能出去晒晒太阳吧)”可知，作者写这篇文章在号召人们走向户外、多晒太阳，并获得更多的维生素D，因此最好的题目是A选项“Get out and gain more Vitamin D(走出去，获得更多的维生素D)”，故选A。
16．答案：①-⑤EGBFC
解析：①根据下文“No one can speak the words on your lips and not everyone is going to agree with what you say.（没有人能说出你想说的话，也不是每个人都同意你说的话。）”可知，此处说明了我们每个人都是不同的，要自己说出自己的话，E项“我们都是不同的，有一些独特的东西要说。”符合题意。故选E。
②根据下文“If you don’t have faith in yourself, you will always doubt yourself and turn to others for help every time you have to make a decision. （如果你对自己没有信心，你会一直怀疑自己，每次做决定的时候都向别人求助。）”可知，此处说明了做决定时要相信自己，G项“相信自己会让你相信自己的决定。”符合题意。故选G。
③此处为本段中心句。根据下文“Our parents care for us so much that they do everything in their power to raise us in a fair and just environment. But the real world does not follow the same principle.（我们的父母非常关心我们，他们尽其所能在一个公平公正的环境中抚养我们。但现实世界并不遵循同样的原则。）”可知，说明了要接受现实世界的生活是不公平的，B项“接受生活是不公平的。”符合文意。故选B。
④根据上文“You might be treated badly for all sorts of unfair things: your skin color, your height, your weight, how much money you have, and just about everything else that makes you who you are. （你可能会因为各种各样不公平的事情而受到恶劣的对待：你的肤色、你的身高、你的体重、你的金钱，以及几乎所有其他决定你是谁的因素。）”可知，此处说明了尽管面对现实生活的不公平对待，还是要快乐，F项中的that，就指因上文中那些事而遭受不公平的待遇。F项“所以请记住：尽管如此，你还是要快乐。”符合题意。故选F。
⑤根据上文“Stop worrying about other people’s opinions about your life, whether they are thinking about your clothes, your choice of career, or your choice of significant other.（不要再担心别人对你生活的看法，不管他们是在考虑你的衣服，你对职业的选择，还是你对重要的人的选择。）”以及本段小标题“（不要在意别人的想法。）”可知，此处强调了不要在意别人的看法，要自己做决定，C项“这是你自己的决定，不是别人的。”符合题意。故选C。

37．答案：①longer②to see③dying④is⑤than⑥that \which⑦causes⑧strengthen⑨energetic⑩it
解析：①考查副词的比较级。医学报告显示：经常跑步的人比不跑步的人多活3年。根据than可知用比较级，故填longer。
②考查不定式作目的状语。你不必跑的太快或时间太长就能看到它的好处。此处不定式作目的状语，故填to see。
③考查动名词。你也许喝酒、吸烟或超重，但仍然通过跑步会减少早亡的风险。此处of是介词，其后用动名词。故填dying。
④考查动词的时态。医学报告显示：跑步比散步、骑车和游泳更能有效地延长寿命。这里叙述的是一个事实，故用一般现在时。故填is。
⑤考查比较句型。跑步比散步、骑车和游泳更能有效地延长寿命。根据文章中的more effective可知，此处填than。
⑥考查定语从句的关系词。此处a study是先行词，其在定语从句中作主语，故填that或which。
⑦考查名词复数。一项研究表明，仅仅每天5到10分钟的跑步，就能减少各种原因的心脏病和早亡。空格处做from的宾语，前面有all可知，要用名词复数形式。故填causes。
⑧考查词形变化。锻炼以增强你腿上的肌肉。此处to是不定式符号，其后用动词原形。故填strengthen。
⑨考查词形变化。跑步总是让人充满活力的。根据it’s可知，系动词后用形容词作表语。故填energetic。
⑩考查代词或名词的用法。我们都应该试试跑步。此处give it a try意为：试试。此处it可以指running。故填it。
38．答案：
One day, when I lived in Germany, I decided to go shopping and I into downtown. I was very pleased because I found a parking space immediately. It was rather unusual. I did my shopping, only took half an hour and I went back to my car. To my horror, it was no longer on the ground but it was in air. I really did not know what to do at that point I went to the police station. The were very kind to me. They told me I parked into the entrance to a car park and as a result, could get out of the car park. Then I wanted to laugh and at the same time. It made me .
解析：①考查时态。句意：有一天，当我住在德国时，我决定去购物，然后开车去了市区。由时间状语“one day”可知，句子应使用一般过去时，drive的过去式是drove，故将drive改成drove。
②考查find与find out的区别。句意：我很高兴，因为我很快地就找到了一个停车位。动词短语find out强调查出某个东西或某件事情，而find则是找到某个东西，强调结果，故将out去掉。
③考查定语从句。句意：我购物只花了半个小时，然后我回到了车那里。分析句子结构可知，逗号后面是非限制性定语从句，修饰整个主句内容，关系词在从句中作主语，应该使用which引导定语从句，that不能引导非限制性定语从句，故将that改为which。
④考查形容词。句意：令我非常震惊的是，我的车已经不在地上而是在空中。该句子中应该使用形容词作定语来修饰名词horror，故将absolutely改为absolute。
⑤考查固定短语。句意：令我非常震惊的是，我的车已经不在地上而是在空中。固定短语in the air：在空中，故在air前加the。
⑥考查连词。句意：我当时真的不知道该怎么办，因此我去了警察局。but前后两句不是转折关系，而是因果关系，因此使用连词so，故将but改为so。
⑦考查名词的数。句意：警察对我很好。由下一句的主语they可知，policeman应该使用复数形式，故将policeman改为policemen。
⑧考查不定代词。句意：他们告诉我，我把车停在了停车场的入口处，结果没有人能够进出停车场了。停车场的入口处被车挡住了，“没有人”能将自己的车开出去，故将everybody改为nobody。
⑨考查动词不定式。句意：然后我又想笑又想哭。cry和laugh是并列的动词，共用一个to，构成want to do结构，因此cried应该使用动词原形，故将cried改为cry。
⑩考查形容词辨析。句意：这让我很尴尬。embarrassing意为“令人尴尬的”，用于修饰物； embarrassed意为 “感到尴尬的”，形容人的感受。此处表示人的感受，应使用embarrassed，故将embarrassing改为embarrassed。

一、阅读理解
My Favourite Books
Jo Usmar is a writer for Cosmopolitan and co-author of the This Book Will series(系列) of lifestyle books. Here she picks her top reads.
Matilda
Roald Dahl
I once wrote a paper on the influence of fairy tales on Roald Dahl’s writing and it gave me a new appreciation for his strange and delightful words. Matilda’s battles with her cruel parents and the bossy headmistress, Miss Trunchbull, are equally funny and frightening, but they’re also aspirational.
After Dark
Haruki Murakami
It’s about two sisters—Eri, a model who either won’t or can’t stop sleeping, and Mari, a young student. In trying to connect to her sister, Mari starts changing her life and discovers a world of diverse “night people” who are hiding secrets.
Gone Girl
Gillian Fynn
There was a bit of me that didn’t want to love this when everyone else on the planet did, but the horror story is brilliant. There’s tension and anxiety from the beginning as Nick and Amy battle for your trust. It’s a real whodunit and the frustration when you realise what’s going on is horribly enjoyable.
The Stand
Stephen King
This is an excellent fantasy novel from one of the best storytellers around. After a serious flu outbreak wipes out 99.4% of the world’s population, a battle unfolds between good and evil among those left. Randall Flagg is one of the scariest characters ever.
1．Who does “I” refer to in the text
A. Stephen King. B. Gillian Flynn. C. Jo Usmar. D. Roald Dahl.
2．Which of the following tells about Mari and Eri
A. Cosmopolitan. B. Matilda. C. After Dark. D. The Stand.
3．What kind of book is Gone Girl
A. A folk tale. B. A biography. C. A love story. D. A horror story.
When you hear the word “birthmark”, you probably think of one of those black or brown spots that you have on your body. For me, it’s different — I have them on my lips and inside my mouth. I’m used to being asked, “What are those black marks on your lips ” When I tell people they’re birthmarks, they usually say, “That’s strange.” I used to consider them ugly. However, my mom calls them beauty marks.
In pictures, I used to hide my birthmarks by pursing(噘起) my lips so I wouldn’t have to deal with people’s questions. As I was growing up, people wore me out with them. Some people would ask me the same questions even before knowing my name. In society I feel like we judge people by their looks before their personality.
My birthmarks are caused by a genetic(基因的) condition from my mom’s side of the family. My mom’s mom has birthmarks on her lips, and my mom’s uncle and my uncle have some on their bodies. Every year I plan to have a procedure to remove them. But when imagining the process, I always get nervous and give up.
My cousin faces a similar challenge. She has a huge birthmark that takes up her whole arm. She’s never tried to hide it or change her appearance. Once, her grandmother told her that the birthmark looked extremely prominent and suggested that she should wear long sleeves more often. If my cousin had actually taken that suggestion, she wouldn’t be such a person as she is.
Inspired by my cousin, I am finally accepting who I am and now I don’t hesitate when someone asks me about them either. I say, “They’re beauty marks” and smile without pursing my lips.
4．How did the author feel when asked about the birthmarks
A. She felt excited to show her difference.
B. She felt annoyed to give others an answer.
C. She was scared to be made fun of by people.
D. She was bored to be faced with the question.
5．Who has the similar birthmarks like the author
A. Her mother. B. Her grandmother. C. Her cousin. D. Her uncle.
6．What can be inferred about the author’s cousin
A. She dislikes talking about her birthmark.
B. She never judges others by their looks.
C. She is more confident than the author.
D. She has taken her grandma’s suggestion.
7．What does the underlined word “prominent” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Brilliant. B. Obvious. C. Harmful. D. Impressive.
Does handwriting matter Not very much, according to many educators. However, scientists say it is far too soon to declare handwriting is not important. New evidence suggests that the link between handwriting and educational development is deep.
Children not only learn to read more quickly when they first learn to write by hand, but they are also better able to create ideas and remember information. In other words, it’s not only what we write that matters — but how.
A study led by Karin James, a psychologist at Indiana University, gave support to that view. A group of children, who had not learned to read and write, were offered a letter or a shape on a card and asked to copy it in one of three ways: draw the image on a page but with a dotted outline(虚线), draw it on a piece of blank white paper, or type it on a computer. Then the researchers put the children in a brain scanner and showed them the image again.
It was found that when children had drawn a letter freehand without a dotted outline or a computer, the activity in three areas of the brain were increased. These three areas work actively in adults when they read and write. By contrast, children who chose the other two ways showed no such effect. Dr. James attributes the differences to the process of free handwriting: Not only must we first plan and take action in a way but we are also likely to produce a result that is variable. Those are not necessary when we have an outline.
It’s time for educators to change their mind and pay more attention to children’s handwriting.
8．What do scientists mean by saying “it is far too soon to declare handwriting is not important”？
A. Handwriting is not very important to children.
B. Handwriting has nothing to do with education.
C. Handwriting should not be ignored at present.
D. Handwriting can not be learned in a short time.
9．What does “that view” in Para. 3 refer to
A. Children read quickly when they write by hand.
B. How we write is as important as what we write.
C. Children create ideas and remember information.
D.A group of students should know what to write.
10．Which is NOT the children’s task in the experiment
A. Copy the image on a page but with a dotted outline.
B. Draw the image on a piece of blank white paper.
C. Type the image directly on a computer.
D. Put a brain scanner and show the image again.
11．According to the passage, the author obviously _______ giving up handwriting.
A.is for B.is against C.is responsible for D. doesn’t care about
One of Britain’s most outstanding scientists says the growth in use of electronic tablets and smartphones is causing people to spend at least one hour less outdoors each day, so that they need to take regular vitamin D supplements(补充) to make up for the lack of sunlight they receive naturally.
Speaking at the Hay Literary Festival in Wales, geneticist Steve Jones said he himself was a follower to the cause and urged others to follow. “I never thought I would be a person who would take vitamin supplements, I always thought it was absolute nonsense. But now I take vitamin D every day. Today, because I knew the sun wasn’t going to shine, I took an extra one,” he said.
Exposure to UV light from the sun is the major source of vitamin D. However, people are spending less and less time outdoors in many areas. The problem is particularly serious in Scotland. “The Scots are the palest people in the world…for their entire body systems are crying out for vitamin D,” he said, adding that life expectancy in Scotland is two years shorter than in England or Wales. Multiple sclerosis(多发性硬化症), a medical condition which is often seen in northern Europe, is also higher in Scotland than in England.
Vitamin D helps with the absorption of Ca, which helps keep bones strong, and he said the fact that rickets, a bone disease, was making a comeback in Britain after nearly 50 years was another sign of how changing behavior patterns were bringing physical harm.
Jones admitted that concerns over the damaging effects on skin of long-time exposure to the sun were reasonable, but said sunlight was healthy and necessary for the human body, and could help in lowering blood pressure. “If you lie on the beach for an hour, you will drop your blood pressure by about 10 points, because it relaxes your blood vessels(血管). So, get out in the sun while we still can.” He said.
12．How are people affected by the rise of technology according to the passage
A. They are more sensitive to sunlight. B. They take more medicines.
C. They get less vitamin D than before. D. They become addicted to electronic games.
13．What’s Jones’ attitude towards taking vitamin D supplements
A. Skeptical. B. Cautious. C. Worried. D. Supportive.
14．Why are the Scots the palest people in the world
A. Because they are in great need of sunlight.
B. Because they don’t’ have sunlight at all.
C. Because their blood pressure is very low.
D. Because they are easy to suffer multiple sclerosis.
15．What may be the best title for the text
A. Get out and gain more Vitamin D
B. Head for the beach and enjoy sunshine
C. Keep away from tablets and phones
D. Say no to vitamin D supplements

16．Being independent is an important skill for people who want to take control of their lives. Here are some tips on how to be independent.
Believe in yourself. If you don’t believe in yourself, then who else will ①_________ No one can speak the words on your lips and not everyone is going to agree with what you say.
②_________ If you don’t have faith in yourself, you will always doubt yourself and turn to others for help every time you have to make a decision. Try to move away from that.

I grew up one of ten children on a farm in Wyoming. After my dad’s service in World War II, he was 1 again to fight during the Korean War, and when he returned home, he couldn’t drink 2 to numb (麻痹) his terrible memories. He struggled to 3 for his growing family.
On our occasional trips to town, I 4 out boxfuls of books from the library. When I opened a book, I could 5 myself in unknown places — where children weren’t hungry and were in 6 of little.

It was a hunger for knowledge about the world 14 our simple existence. It was a hunger to prove dad 15 when he told us we would never amount to anything.
Hunger motivated my brothers and sisters to achieve much 16 than our parents expected 17 us. We devoured (如饥似渴地吸取) the offerings of the public schools because we realized that 18 would be our steppingstone into a brighter future.
Now I’m 19 of the accomplishments of my siblings: an art professor; a well—known doctor; plus business owners. And me, I’m the keeper of the family stores. I’ll never know if we would have so many accumulated successes if we had not known 20 as children. But this I do know: I believe it can be a good thing.

5．答案：B
解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中的“For me, it’s different-I have them on my lips and inside my mouth”(对于我而言，这是不同的－我嘴唇上和嘴巴里面都有胎记。)可知，作者的胎记在嘴唇上和嘴巴里，再结合第三段中的“My mom’s mom has birthmarks on her lips”(我外祖母嘴唇上也有胎记)可知，作者的外祖母也有胎记在嘴唇上，所以作者和外祖母有相似的胎记，故选B。

Then the researchers put the children in a brain scanner and showed them the image again.(一群孩子，他们没有学会读和写，都被提供了卡片上的字母或形状，并被要求将其以三种方式之一复制：在页面上绘制图像但虚线轮廓，画在一张空白的纸，或在电脑上输入。然后，研究人员将这些儿童置于脑部扫描仪前，再次给他们看这幅图像。)”可知，放置大脑扫描仪，再次显示图像不是孩子们在实验中的任务，故选D。
11．答案：B
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段的“It’s time for educators to change their mind and pay more attention to children’s handwriting.(是时候让教育工作者改变他们的想法，更多地关注孩子们的书写了。)”可知作者的观点是反对放弃用手书写，故选B。
12．答案：C
解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中的“One of Britain’s most outstanding scientists says the growth in use of electronic tablets and smartphones is causing people to spend at least one hour less outdoors each day, so that they need to take regular vitamin D supplements (补充) to make up for the lack of sunlight they receive naturally.(英国一名最杰出的科学家表示，电子平板电脑和智能手机使用的增长导致人们每天在户外的时间减少了至少一个小时，因此他们需要定期服用维生素D补充剂，以弥补他们自然吸收的阳光不足。)”可知，平板电脑和智能手机使用的增长导致人们待在户外的时间很少，他们摄入的维生素D比以前少了，以至于他们需要服用维生素D补充剂。故选C。
13．答案：D
解析：推理判断题。根据第二段中的“geneticist Steve Jones said he himself was a follower to the cause and urged others to follow. “I never thought I would be a person who would take vitamin supplements, I always thought it was absolute nonsense. But now I take vitamin D every day.(遗传学家Steve Jones说，他自己也是这一事业的追随者，并敦促其他人也追随他。“我从来没有想过我会是一个服用维生素补充剂的人，我一直认为这完全是无稽之谈。但是现在我每天都吃维生素D。)”可知，他之前认为服用维生素补充剂是毫无意义的，但是现在每天都会服用维生素D，并且鼓励别人追随这一做法。因此可以推断他是支持服用维生素D补充剂的。故选D。
14．答案：A
解析：推理判断题。根据第三段中的“The Scots are the palest people in the world…for their entire body systems are crying out for vitamin D(苏格兰人是世界上肤色最苍白的人……因为他们的整个身体系统都急需维生素D)”可知，苏格兰人全身的系统都急需维生素D。此处需理解“cry out for”当于“in great need”，意为“迫切需要”。再结合第三段第一句阐述的事实“Exposure to UV light from the sun is the major source of vitamin D.(暴露在太阳紫外线下是维生素D的主要来源。)”，以及第三段中的“people are spending less and less time outdoors in many areas. The problem is particularly serious in Scotland(人们花在户外的时间越来越少。这个问题在苏格兰尤为严重)”可知，苏格兰人苍白是因为他们非常需要阳光。故选A。
15．答案：A
解析：主旨大意题。通读全文，文章开头讲现在电子设备使人们在户外时间越来越少，天然维生素D摄入越来越少，危害健康，以苏格兰人日晒少，脸色苍白，维生素D缺乏导致缺钙的严重性，后面讲述科学家支持补充维D，尤其是最后一段中的“If you lie on the beach for an hour, you will drop your blood pressure by about 10 points, because it relaxes your blood vessels So, get out in the sun while we still can(如果你在沙滩上躺上一个小时，你的血压会下降10点左右，因为它会放松你的血管。所以，趁我们还能出去晒晒太阳吧)”可知，作者写这篇文章在号召人们走向户外、多晒太阳，并获得更多的维生素D，因此最好的题目是A选项“Get out and gain more Vitamin D(走出去，获得更多的维生素D)”，故选A。
16．答案：①-⑤EGBFC

②根据下文“If you don’t have faith in yourself, you will always doubt yourself and turn to others for help every time you have to make a decision. （如果你对自己没有信心，你会一直怀疑自己，每次做决定的时候都向别人求助。）”可知，此处说明了做决定时要相信自己，G项“相信自己会让你相信自己的决定。”符合题意。故选G。
③此处为本段中心句。根据下文“Our parents care for us so much that they do everything in their power to raise us in a fair and just environment. But the real world does not follow the same principle.（我们的父母非常关心我们，他们尽其所能在一个公平公正的环境中抚养我们。但现实世界并不遵循同样的原则。）”可知，说明了要接受现实世界的生活是不公平的，B项“接受生活是不公平的。”符合文意。故选B。
④根据上文“You might be treated badly for all sorts of unfair things: your skin color, your height, your weight, how much money you have, and just about everything else that makes you who you are. （你可能会因为各种各样不公平的事情而受到恶劣的对待：你的肤色、你的身高、你的体重、你的金钱，以及几乎所有其他决定你是谁的因素。）”可知，此处说明了尽管面对现实生活的不公平对待，还是要快乐，F项中的that，就指因上文中那些事而遭受不公平的待遇。F项“所以请记住：尽管如此，你还是要快乐。”符合题意。故选F。
⑤根据上文“Stop worrying about other people’s opinions about your life, whether they are thinking about your clothes, your choice of career, or your choice of significant other.（不要再担心别人对你生活的看法，不管他们是在考虑你的衣服，你对职业的选择，还是你对重要的人的选择。）”以及本段小标题“（不要在意别人的想法。）”可知，此处强调了不要在意别人的看法，要自己做决定，C项“这是你自己的决定，不是别人的。”符合题意。故选C。

37．答案：①longer②to see③dying④is⑤than⑥that \which⑦causes⑧strengthen⑨energetic⑩it
解析：①考查副词的比较级。医学报告显示：经常跑步的人比不跑步的人多活3年。根据than可知用比较级，故填longer。
②考查不定式作目的状语。你不必跑的太快或时间太长就能看到它的好处。此处不定式作目的状语，故填to see。
③考查动名词。你也许喝酒、吸烟或超重，但仍然通过跑步会减少早亡的风险。此处of是介词，其后用动名词。故填dying。
④考查动词的时态。医学报告显示：跑步比散步、骑车和游泳更能有效地延长寿命。这里叙述的是一个事实，故用一般现在时。故填is。
⑤考查比较句型。跑步比散步、骑车和游泳更能有效地延长寿命。根据文章中的more effective可知，此处填than。
⑥考查定语从句的关系词。此处a study是先行词，其在定语从句中作主语，故填that或which。
⑦考查名词复数。一项研究表明，仅仅每天5到10分钟的跑步，就能减少各种原因的心脏病和早亡。空格处做from的宾语，前面有all可知，要用名词复数形式。故填causes。
⑧考查词形变化。锻炼以增强你腿上的肌肉。此处to是不定式符号，其后用动词原形。故填strengthen。

38．答案：
One day, when I lived in Germany, I decided to go shopping and I into downtown. I was very pleased because I found a parking space immediately. It was rather unusual. I did my shopping, only took half an hour and I went back to my car. To my horror, it was no longer on the ground but it was in air. I really did not know what to do at that point I went to the police station. The were very kind to me. They told me I parked into the entrance to a car park and as a result, could get out of the car park. Then I wanted to laugh and at the same time. It made me .
解析：①考查时态。句意：有一天，当我住在德国时，我决定去购物，然后开车去了市区。由时间状语“one day”可知，句子应使用一般过去时，drive的过去式是drove，故将drive改成drove。
②考查find与find out的区别。句意：我很高兴，因为我很快地就找到了一个停车位。动词短语find out强调查出某个东西或某件事情，而find则是找到某个东西，强调结果，故将out去掉。
③考查定语从句。句意：我购物只花了半个小时，然后我回到了车那里。分析句子结构可知，逗号后面是非限制性定语从句，修饰整个主句内容，关系词在从句中作主语，应该使用which引导定语从句，that不能引导非限制性定语从句，故将that改为which。
④考查形容词。句意：令我非常震惊的是，我的车已经不在地上而是在空中。该句子中应该使用形容词作定语来修饰名词horror，故将absolutely改为absolute。
⑤考查固定短语。句意：令我非常震惊的是，我的车已经不在地上而是在空中。固定短语in the air：在空中，故在air前加the。
⑥考查连词。句意：我当时真的不知道该怎么办，因此我去了警察局。but前后两句不是转折关系，而是因果关系，因此使用连词so，故将but改为so。
⑦考查名词的数。句意：警察对我很好。由下一句的主语they可知，policeman应该使用复数形式，故将policeman改为policemen。
⑧考查不定代词。句意：他们告诉我，我把车停在了停车场的入口处，结果没有人能够进出停车场了。停车场的入口处被车挡住了，“没有人”能将自己的车开出去，故将everybody改为nobody。
⑨考查动词不定式。句意：然后我又想笑又想哭。cry和laugh是并列的动词，共用一个to，构成want to do结构，因此cried应该使用动词原形，故将cried改为cry。
⑩考查形容词辨析。句意：这让我很尴尬。embarrassing意为“令人尴尬的”，用于修饰物； embarrassed意为 “感到尴尬的”，形容人的感受。此处表示人的感受，应使用embarrassed，故将embarrassing改为embarrassed。

I would be very grateful if you could offer me the opportunity. I’m looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
