【原文】W: Exam season can bring on levels of stress that can get in the way of your studies. Here are some useful tips on how to manage your anxiety.
Firstly, take your mind off exams. Go out for dinner with friends; go to the cinema. Anything that you like doing in your spare time will take your mind off exams. Those will make you feel more relaxed the next time you revise.
Secondly, exercise and go outdoors. Go out for a walk or a run, or go to the gym. As well as keeping you healthy, exercise is known to boost your mood and can help to make you more efficient while revising.
Thirdly, don’t always listen to others. Though it is helpful to revise together, try not to compare other people’s revision to your own. The chances are you’re doing just fine, and listening to other people talk about what they’ve learnt will only stress you out.
Finally speak to someone. If the stress is affecting your day-to-day life, try and speak to someone about it. You can speak to your teachers or classmates. Best of all, open up to a family member or a friend about your pressure. You’ll be amazed to know that you aren’t alone in feeling like this.

Oliver’s journey with tai chi began in her early 20s, when she was suffering from a back injury, which left her lying in bed for six months.
“As an active youngster at that time, I couldn’t bear resting in bed,” she explained. “My muscles became wasted and stiff(僵直的) for lack of use, and I was often in a lot of pains. So, I felt that some physical exercise would help.”
She then discovered tai chi when she spotted by chance a poster advertising classes and decided to try the mysterious and exotic(异国的) sport. Oliver was immediately struck by the gentle and beautiful movements of tai chi, and to her delight, found that her occasional pains disappeared after years of practice.
“It not only helps me improve physical strength, but also provides me with many mental benefits, such as improved mood and focus, and less anxiety and depression,” she added.
To further understand tai chi and the Chinese philosophy behind it, Oliver decided to begin a journey to China. In 2005, Oliver established the Double Dragon Alliance Cultural Center, which acts as a bridge for foreign people seeking to gain a better understanding of Chinese culture. The center supports kung fu masters in teaching martial arts(武术) and organizes events for people to experience various aspects of Chinese culture.
Apart from her tai chi classes, Oliver now serves as the director of the British Cultural Center at Shanghai University. Reflecting on her work, Oliver said, “For quite many years, my work is actually like a cultural bridge. If you don’t have someone in the middle who is appreciative of all the cultures and have the desire to connect people, then it’s hard for them to get to know each other. I hope I can be the bridge to bring people close together. We need to foster mutual understanding among cultures to promote peaceful relations and friendship across the globe.”
24. Why did Oliver try tai chi
A. To solve a mystery. B. To recover physical state.
C. To treat her mental illness. D. To advance her knowledge of China.
25. How was Oliver after practicing tai chi
A. Her well-being improved. B. She became talkative.
C. Her pain came less often. D. She became open-minded.
26. What does Oliver mainly do in Shanghai
A. Give kung fu performances. B. Learn Chinese philosophy.
C. Bring kung fu masters together. D. Promote cultural exchange.
27. What is a suitable title for the text
A. Try Tai Chi to Relieve Pain
B. Tai Chi: a Global Cultural Bridge
C. A British Tai Chi Lover Builds Cultural Bridge in China
D. Tai Chi Enjoys Great Popularity Around the World

Have you ever wondered how astronauts clean their clothes in space They wear their underclothes, and everything else, until they cannot take the dirt and smell anymore. Then, they throw them away.
NASA wants to change that. This would mean the end to throwing away lots of dirty clothes every year. Up to now, they simply had to put them with other waste in old supply ships to burn up in the atmosphere. NASA is working with the US company, Procter Gamble (P＆G), to learn how best to clean astronauts’ clothes in space. They could use the clothes for months or even years, just like on Earth.
P＆G announced that it would send detergent (洗涤剂) and dirt removal experiments to the space station later. The battle against dirty and sweaty clothes in space has begun. It is not a small problem, especially as the US and other countries plan to establish bases on the Moon and Mars.
Rocket storage space is small and costly. So, why waste it on new clothes if they could keep their old clothes looking and smelling fresh An astronaut needs 68 kilograms of clothes in space per year. The clothes use a lot of storage space, especially on a three-year Mars mission.
Space station astronauts exercise two hours every day to fight the effects of weightlessness on their bodies. That quickly leaves their workout clothes sweaty, smelly and hard.
In its first experiment, P＆G would send up detergent made just for space. Scientists would then see how the compounds in the detergent react to six months of weightlessness. At the same time, P＆G is developing a washer-dryer machine that could operate on the Moon or even Mars. It would use small amounts of water and detergent.
28. What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 2 refer to？
A. Washing clothes. B. Getting rid of clothes.
C. Burning off clothes. D. Changing clothes.
29. Which is an advantage of washing clothes in space？
A. Saving room in the rocket. B. Extending the stay in space.
C. Avoiding space rubbish. D. Keeping the astronauts healthy.
30. What makes astronauts’ clothes dirty easily？
A. Hard work. B. Lack of gravity.
C. Few clothes to change. D. Daily physical training
31. Why will P＆G send its washing product into space？
A. To have better sales. B. To help astronauts wash clothes.
C. To experiment with its functions in space. D. To test the washer-dryer machine out.
【答案】28. B 29. A 30. D 31. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了宇航员在太空中如何洗衣服。
【28题详解】
词义猜测题。文章第一段中“Then, they throw them away.(然后，他们把它们扔掉。)”提到了把衣服扔掉；划线词that的下文“This would mean the end to throwing away lots of dirty clothes every year.(这将意味着每年扔掉大量脏衣服的时代结束了。)”也提到了扔掉衣服，由此可知，划线词that指代的是“扔掉衣服”。故选B项。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Rocket storage space is small and costly. So, why waste it on new clothes if they could keep their old clothes looking and smelling fresh (火箭的储存空间很小，而且价格昂贵。所以，如果他们可以保持旧衣服的外观和气味清新，为什么要浪费在新衣服上呢 )”可知，在太空洗衣服的优点是节省火箭的空间。故选A项。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“Space station astronauts exercise two hours every day to fight the effects of weightlessness on their bodies. That quickly leaves their workout clothes sweaty, smelly and hard.(空间站宇航员每天锻炼两小时，以对抗失重对身体的影响。这很快就会让他们的运动服汗津津的，又臭又硬。)”可知，是日常体能训练让宇航员的衣服容易脏。故选D项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“In its first experiment, P＆G would send up detergent made just for space. Scientists would then see how the compounds in the detergent react to six months of weightlessness.(在第一个实验中，宝洁公司将发射专门为太空制造的洗涤剂。然后，科学家们将观察洗涤剂中的化合物在六个月的失重状态下的反应。)”可知，宝洁公司要将其洗涤产品送入太空是为了在太空中试验它的功能。故选C项。
D
A British friend told me he couldn’t understand why Chinese people love eating sunflower seeds(嗑瓜子) as a snack so much.“I’ve met a lot of older Chinese and many have a crack in their front teeth, I believe that’s from cracking the seeds,”he said.
I had never noticed the habit, but once he mentioned it, I suddenly became more aware, I realized that whenever I’m watching TV or typing a report, I always start mindlessly cracking sunflower seeds. My friend doesn’t like sunflower seeds, and, to him, it seems unnecessary to work so much just to get one small seed.
When we were young, the whole family would usually get together for Chinese New Year. Then, we all lived close to one another, usually in a small city, and sometimes even neighbors would go door-to-door on Chinese New Year’s Eve to check out what every household was making.
I remember my parents would be in the kitchen cooking. Out in the living room, a large table would already be laid out, complete with fancy tablecloth, ready-made dumpling fillings, and dishes full of candy, fruits and sunflower seeds. Some of the dishes were to be offered to our ancestors later, while others were for neighbors and children to eat before the evening feast. I must have learned how to crack sunflower seeds back then.
I don’t think it’s right to criticize one’s choice in food or eating habits, no matter how strange they may seem.
It’s not only in China. When I went abroad, I found people had all sorts of strange habits when it came to food. In Denmark, they put salted red fish on bread and eat it for dinner, no matter how much it ruins your breath. They think it’s a delicacy(美味佳肴), and it’s connected to their certain culture. I think it’s a wonderful tradition.
32. What did the writer become aware of
A. She had ever typed a report about seeds.
B. She had various snacks while watching TV.
C. She had a habit of cracking sunflower seeds.
D. She damaged her teeth by eating sunflower seeds.
33. What does the writer prove by mentioning Chinese New Year
A. The families get together for it. B. Eating sunflower seeds is related to it.
C. The traditions of celebrating it disappear. D. Children can eat delicious food on that day.
34. What’s the writer’s attitude to Denmark’s way of eating bread
A. Indifferent. B. Critical. C. Understandable. D. Doubtful.
35. What idea does the writer want to express in this passage
A. It is good to form healthy eating habits.
B. Eating habits come from a certain culture.
C. Changing your eating habits will change your life.
D. One kind of food doesn’t necessarily suit everyone.
【答案】32. C 33. B 34. C 35. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文，用中国人喜欢嗑瓜子和丹麦人喜欢吃面包配咸红鱼来证明饮食习惯来自特定的文化。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“I had never noticed the habit, but once he mentioned it, I suddenly became more aware, I realized that whenever I’m watching TV or typing a report, I always start mindlessly cracking sunflower seeds.(我从来没有注意过这个习惯，但他一提到这个习惯，我就突然意识到，每当我看电视或打报告时，我总是开始无意识地嗑瓜子。)”可知，作者意识到自己有嗑瓜子的习惯，故选C项。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Out in the living room, a large table would already be laid out, complete with fancy tablecloth, ready-made dumpling fillings, and dishes full of candy, fruits and sunflower seeds. Some of the dishes were to be offered to our ancestors later, while others were for neighbors and children to eat before the evening feast. I must have learned how to crack sunflower seeds back then.(在客厅里，一张大桌子已经摆好了，上面有精致的桌布，现成的饺子馅，还有装满糖果、水果和瓜子的盘子。有些菜是给我们的祖先以后，而其他的是邻居和孩子吃晚饭前。我那时一定学会了如何嗑瓜子。)” 可知，春节的时候桌子上会摆放很多美食, 其中就有瓜子，小孩在可以在年夜饭前吃，作者就是在那时学会了嗑瓜子，由此可知，作者提到春节是为了证明嗑瓜子和春节有关，故选B项。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一句话“I think it’s a wonderful tradition.(我认为这是一个很棒的传统。)”可知，作者认为丹麦人吃面包配咸红鱼是一个很好的传统，由此可知，作者接受这种吃法，故选C项。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“They think it’s a delicacy(美味佳肴), and it’s connected to their certain culture.(他们认为这是一种美味佳肴，与他们特定的文化有关。)”可知，丹麦人认为这样吃面包是美味的，这和他们的特定的文化有关，正如作者喜欢嗑瓜子和春节文化有关，由此可知，作者想在这篇文章中表达的观点是，饮食习惯来自特定的文化，故选B项。

【63题详解】
考查介词。句意：今天，多亏了樊等伟大考古学家的工作，敦煌拥有世界上最大、保存最完好的15世纪至13世纪的佛教文物。 分析句子可知，空格处构成固定短语thanks to“多亏了”，符合句意，to是介词。故填to。
【64题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：同上。分析句子结构可知，此处用作后置定语修饰名词短语collection of Buddhist relics，collection of Buddhist relics，与date为逻辑上的主动关系，用现在分词形式，故填dating。

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。
A shop owner placed a sign above his door that said: “Puppies For Sale.”
Signs like this always have a way of attracting young children, and to no surprise, a boy saw the sign and approached the owner, “How much are you going to sell the puppies for ” he asked. The store owner replied, “Anywhere from $30 to $50.” The little boy pulled out some change from his pocket. “I have $2.37,” he said. “Can I please look at them ”
The shop owner smiled and whistled. Out came Lady, who ran down the aisle of his shop followed by five teeny, tiny balls of fur. One puppy was lagging (走得慢) considerably behind. Immediately the little boy singled out the lagging puppy and said, “What’s wrong with that little dog ”
The shop owner explained that the veterinarian had examined the little puppy and had discovered it didn’t have a hip socket. It would always be lame (瘸的). The little boy became excited. “That is the puppy that I want to buy.” The shop owner said, “No, you don’t want to buy that little dog. If you really want him, I’ll just give him to you.”
The little boy got quite upset. He looked straight into the store owner’s eyes, pointing his finger, and said, “I don’t want you to give him to me. That little dog is worth every bit as much as all the other dogs and I’ll pay full price. In fact, I’ll give you $2.37 now, and 50 cents a month until I have him paid for.” The shop owner said, “You really don’t want to buy this little dog. He is never going to be able to run and jump and play with you like the other puppies.”
注意：
1. 续写词数应为 150 左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
“Well, I don’t walk so well myself.” said the little boy.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The little boy took the little lame dog home happily.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】“Well, I don’t walk so well myself.” said the little boy. He reached down and rolled up his pant leg to reveal a badly twisted, crippled left leg supported by a big metal brace. He looked up at the shop owner and softly replied, “The little puppy will need someone who understands!” The manager was compassionate. He insisted that he take the puppy free of cost. But the boy did not agree. He strongly argued, “The lame puppy is not worthless. We will pay for it the same price which you charge for the healthy ones.” Finally, the shop owner compromised and instructed the boy how to take good care of the little puppy.
The little boy took the little lame dog home happily. Ever since, they played together; they ate together; sometimes they even slept together. The little lame boy and the little lame puppy became best friends. Naturally, everybody deserves to be recognized, respected and loved. Every person has his own value and should never be judged by his outward appearance. Persons with disabilities need our special care, attention, consideration and encouragement. With our sincere support, they can achieve wonderful things in life and become an inspiration to all.

Oliver’s journey with tai chi began in her early 20s, when she was suffering from a back injury, which left her lying in bed for six months.
“As an active youngster at that time, I couldn’t bear resting in bed,” she explained. “My muscles became wasted and stiff(僵直的) for lack of use, and I was often in a lot of pains. So, I felt that some physical exercise would help.”
She then discovered tai chi when she spotted by chance a poster advertising classes and decided to try the mysterious and exotic(异国的) sport. Oliver was immediately struck by the gentle and beautiful movements of tai chi, and to her delight, found that her occasional pains disappeared after years of practice.
“It not only helps me improve physical strength, but also provides me with many mental benefits, such as improved mood and focus, and less anxiety and depression,” she added.
To further understand tai chi and the Chinese philosophy behind it, Oliver decided to begin a journey to China. In 2005, Oliver established the Double Dragon Alliance Cultural Center, which acts as a bridge for foreign people seeking to gain a better understanding of Chinese culture. The center supports kung fu masters in teaching martial arts(武术) and organizes events for people to experience various aspects of Chinese culture.
Apart from her tai chi classes, Oliver now serves as the director of the British Cultural Center at Shanghai University. Reflecting on her work, Oliver said, “For quite many years, my work is actually like a cultural bridge. If you don’t have someone in the middle who is appreciative of all the cultures and have the desire to connect people, then it’s hard for them to get to know each other. I hope I can be the bridge to bring people close together. We need to foster mutual understanding among cultures to promote peaceful relations and friendship across the globe.”
24. Why did Oliver try tai chi
A To solve a mystery. B. To recover physical state.
C. To treat her mental illness. D. To advance her knowledge of China.
25. How was Oliver after practicing tai chi
A. Her well-being improved. B. She became talkative.
C. Her pain came less often. D. She became open-minded.
26. What does Oliver mainly do in Shanghai
A. Give kung fu performances. B. Learn Chinese philosophy.
C. Bring kung fu masters together. D. Promote cultural exchange.
27. What is a suitable title for the text
A. Try Tai Chi to Relieve Pain
B. Tai Chi: a Global Cultural Bridge
C. A British Tai Chi Lover Builds Cultural Bridge in China
D. Tai Chi Enjoys Great Popularity Around the World

Have you ever wondered how astronauts clean their clothes in space They wear their underclothes, and everything else, until they cannot take the dirt and smell anymore. Then, they throw them away.
NASA wants to change that. This would mean the end to throwing away lots of dirty clothes every year. Up to now, they simply had to put them with other waste in old supply ships to burn up in the atmosphere. NASA is working with the US company, Procter Gamble (P＆G), to learn how best to clean astronauts’ clothes in space. They could use the clothes for months or even years, just like on Earth.
P＆G announced that it would send detergent (洗涤剂) and dirt removal experiments to the space station later. The battle against dirty and sweaty clothes in space has begun. It is not a small problem, especially as the US and other countries plan to establish bases on the Moon and Mars.
Rocket storage space is small and costly. So, why waste it on new clothes if they could keep their old clothes looking and smelling fresh An astronaut needs 68 kilograms of clothes in space per year. The clothes use a lot of storage space, especially on a three-year Mars mission.
Space station astronauts exercise two hours every day to fight the effects of weightlessness on their bodies. That quickly leaves their workout clothes sweaty, smelly and hard.
In its first experiment, P＆G would send up detergent made just for space. Scientists would then see how the compounds in the detergent react to six months of weightlessness. At the same time, P＆G is developing a washer-dryer machine that could operate on the Moon or even Mars. It would use small amounts of water and detergent.
28. What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 2 refer to？
A. Washing clothes. B. Getting rid of clothes.
C. Burning off clothes. D. Changing clothes.
29. Which is an advantage of washing clothes in space？
A. Saving room in the rocket. B. Extending the stay in space.
C. Avoiding space rubbish. D. Keeping the astronauts healthy.
30. What makes astronauts’ clothes dirty easily？
A. Hard work. B. Lack of gravity.
C. Few clothes to change. D. Daily physical training
31. Why will P＆G send its washing product into space？
A. To have better sales. B. To help astronauts wash clothes.
C. To experiment with its functions in space. D. To test the washer-dryer machine out.
D
A British friend told me he couldn’t understand why Chinese people love eating sunflower seeds(嗑瓜子) as a snack so much.“I’ve met a lot of older Chinese and many have a crack in their front teeth, I believe that’s from cracking the seeds,”he said.
I had never noticed the habit, but once he mentioned it, I suddenly became more aware, I realized that whenever I’m watching TV or typing a report, I always start mindlessly cracking sunflower seeds. My friend doesn’t like sunflower seeds, and, to him, it seems unnecessary to work so much just to get one small seed.
When we were young, the whole family would usually get together for Chinese New Year. Then, we all lived close to one another, usually in a small city, and sometimes even neighbors would go door-to-door on Chinese New Year’s Eve to check out what every household was making.
I remember my parents would be in the kitchen cooking. Out in the living room a large table would already be laid out, complete with fancy tablecloth, ready-made dumpling fillings, and dishes full of candy, fruits and sunflower seeds. Some of the dishes were to be offered to our ancestors later, while others were for neighbors and children to eat before the evening feast. I must have learned how to crack sunflower seeds back then.
I don’t think it’s right to criticize one’s choice in food or eating habits, no matter how strange they may seem.
It’s not only in China. When I went abroad, I found people had all sorts of strange habits when it came to food. In Denmark, they put salted red fish on bread and eat it for dinner, no matter how much it ruins your breath. They think it’s a delicacy(美味佳肴), and it’s connected to their certain culture. I think it’s a wonderful tradition.
32. What did the writer become aware of
A. She had ever typed a report about seeds.
B. She had various snacks while watching TV.
C She had a habit of cracking sunflower seeds.
D. She damaged her teeth by eating sunflower seeds.
33. What does the writer prove by mentioning Chinese New Year
A. The families get together for it. B. Eating sunflower seeds is related to it.
C. The traditions of celebrating it disappear. D. Children can eat delicious food on that day.
34. What’s the writer’s attitude to Denmark’s way of eating bread
A. Indifferent. B. Critical. C. Understandable. D. Doubtful.
35. What idea does the writer want to express in this passage
A. It is good to form healthy eating habits.
B. Eating habits come from a certain culture.
C Changing your eating habits will change your life.
D. One kind of food doesn’t necessarily suit everyone.

A shop owner placed a sign above his door that said: “Puppies For Sale.”

The store owner replied, “Anywhere from $30 to $50.” The little boy pulled out some change from his pocket. “I have $2.37,” he said. “Can I please look at them ”
The shop owner smiled and whistled. Out came Lady, who ran down the aisle of his shop followed by five teeny, tiny balls of fur. One puppy was lagging (走得慢) considerably behind. Immediately the little boy singled out the lagging puppy and said, “What’s wrong with that little dog ”
The shop owner explained that the veterinarian had examined the little puppy and had discovered it didn’t have a hip socket. It would always be lame (瘸的).

That little dog is worth every bit as much as all the other dogs and I’ll pay full price. In fact, I’ll give you $2.37 now, and 50 cents a month until I have him paid for.” The shop owner said, “You really don’t want to buy this little dog.
