二、完形填空(本大题共10小题,每小题1分,共10分)
I grew up in a house where my mother did not trust my sisters and me to manage our own appearance. As a result, there were 1 , and fashion was largely ignored (忽视).
However, two years ago, I was home for a visit when my mom, in her early 70s, called me into her bedroom. “I don’t know what to wear”, she 2 “You girls always look so good.” I looked at her, wondering if I’d misunderstood. “What do you mean ” I asked her, “You know what to wear.”
“No, I don’t.” She answered. “Can you pick something for me ” She repeated the question again. I was so 3 and couldn’t believe my ears.
This was the same woman who had told my younger sister she wasn’t allowed to wear a pair of ripped (有破洞的) jeans; the same woman who, in high school, called me while I was out at a party to ask if my hair was up. “Don’t do that, because you look 4 with your hair down.” she told me, before I could 5 .
Suddenly, I realized that my mother—always so strong—not only wanted my opinion 6 needed it.
I pulled a pair of blue jeans from the closet. “This 7 your black shoes perfectly,” I told her. She did. My mother certainly doesn’t need anyone to take care of her. In fact, she still look after my grandmother who lives with her. But with that 8 , my mother and I started the role exchange reversal (转变) that happens with all parents and all children, from caregiver to receiver.
Now, if I’m visiting or we’re together, it’s 9 for her to wear anything without asking me for advice first. I’m still always a bit surprised by the admission (承认) of her uncertainty. But every so often, it seems like she asks me just to be able to disagree with my answer and pick out something on her own instead. And 10 she does, I just tell her what I think of the way she looks. Sometimes it’s “great”. And sometimes it’s “awful”.
1.A. praises B. ideas C. plans D. rules
2 A. replied B. complained C. agreed D. advised
3.A. surprised B. angry C. pleased D. afraid
4.A. worse B. harder C. slimmer D. better
5.A. stop B. smile C. answer D. leave
6.A. so B. but C. and D. or
7.A. fits B. balances C. matches D. suits
8.A. saying B. call C. order D. question
9.A. rare B. possible C. likely D. often
10.A. before B. when C. unless D. since

“When things are getting difficult a voice inside my head tells me that I can’t achieve something.
There are other distractions such as family matters or hobbies.

An old grandpa as ordinary as Father Brown will never attract people’s attention and interest in everyday life. Who can imagine that under his plain appearance lies great wisdom and talent for solving crimes Father Brown is a Catholic priest from England. He is short and fat; has a round and dull face, and eyes as empty as the North Sea. He always wears shapeless clothes and carries a large umbrella.
But this man understands people well. When he looks into a case, he uses his insight into human nature to think like a murderer and then find the real criminal. He’d put himself in the murderer’s shoes: “I had murdered them all myself... I had planned out each of the crimes very carefully… And when I felt exactly like the murderer myself, of course I knew who he was!” Unlike Holmes, Father Brown focuses more on spiritual and psychological truths rather than scientific details. Once he is thinking about where the murderer would hide the body, he thinks like this: if a smart person wants to hide a leaf, where should they hide it In the forest! If there is no forest, he would make one. That’s how he solved a case in which a general sends 800 soldiers to fight in a war just to cover up the murder of one soldier.
Although Father Brown has a sharp sense for crimes, he also has a soft heart for criminals. Many times, he doesn’t send criminals to court, but gets them to correct their faults and to begin a new life. As a priest, Father Brown shows great love and forgiveness . Maybe he is not there to judge, but to save souls.
7. How does the writer introduce Father Brown at the beginning By .
A. Imagining B. describing his appearance
C. planning out a new crime D. attracting people’s attention
8. In the second paragraph, the writer mainly tells us Father Brown .
A. understands human nature and likes murderers
B. planned out each of the crimes very carefully
C. focuses more on scientific details.
D. fought with 800 soldiers to find the murderer
9. Father Brown is .
A. who knows about human nature with no soft heart B. a policeman
C. who never forgives criminals D. a person who lets criminals begin a new life.

They say music is universal, and it seems to be true since wherever we go, we see people listening, playing or dancing to it. We tend to think that music is larger than our cultural differences and shows the deeper connections between us.
But according to a recent study published in the Current Biology, music doesn’t speak to everyone. There is a condition, the researchers argue, called “musical anhedonia”. They say that those who have this condition may have few abilities to experience pleasure from music.
For the study, 30 people listened to the same, mostly classical music pieces. They were then asked to complete a questionnaire on how they felt about the music. At the same time, the researchers measured their heart rate and skin reaction*, which are considered physiological* measures of feelings.
According to the researchers, most of the people in the study got pleasure from the music. They had a quicker heartbeat and sweated*more. However, a small number of them had very little and even no pleasant feeling while they were listening to the music. These people had none or very few of the physical signs which the others in the study experienced.
The researchers say that this means people have different abilities to enjoy music and that “there are people who specifically can’t enjoy music at all”
To study the condition more deeply, another group of scientists, at Columbia University, US, researched brain activities. They found that the key is the blood flow to the reward system in the brain. People who got less pleasure from music had comparatively lower blood flow to areas involved in the reward system of the brain when they were listening to music.
The lower blood flow makes it more likely that the brain’s “reward system” will be inactive. And it will produce less of the “pleasure chemical” dopamine*. As a result, people get less pleasure from music.
If the research is correct, according to National Public Radio, there are simply people who just don’t get music. They may get pleasure from many things, but a good tune* isn’t one of them.
11.The people who is called musical anhedonia _______.
A. avoid listening to music
B. like to listen to certain types of music.
C. can’t feel the pleasure that music brings to others.
D. believe cultural differences are larger than music.
12.What was the purpose of the study mentioned in Current Biology
A. To learn what music people love the most.
B. To learn how music influences people’s feelings.
C. To understand the relationship between music and the body.
D. To see whether music works in the same way for all people.
13.What happened in the study when people listened to music
A. All of them had faster heartbeat and sweated more.
B. Those who enjoyed music had slower blood flow.
C. They showed different physical signs as the music changed.
D. Those who enjoyed music had more dopamine produced.
14.Which part of a magazine may the article appear in
A. Science. B. Sports. C. Health. D. Fashion.

Make your rules as clear and specific as possible. Then decide with your students' help what the punishment will be for breaking those rules.
Teach the rules as you would have a common lesson. It should be your first lesson. Discuss each rule, explain the idea behind it, and ask for examples of how it could be broken. Tell your students that rules help make everyone's time in school more enjoyable, and use examples to explain this. The rules can also be posted as a reminder and each student is advised to take a copy of the rules home.
