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.
24. 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.

B. She never judges others by their looks.
C. She is more confident than the author.
D. She has taken her grandma’s suggestion.
27. What does the underlined word “prominent” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Brilliant. B. Apparent.
C. Harmful. D. Impressive.

Parrots are prey animals, which means that other predators (捕食者) in the wild, such as hawks or snakes, are looking to make them into a meal. This one factor influences parrots’ behavior in your house more than any other.
Parrots are most easily hurt when feeding on the ground. Membership in a group plays an important function in ensuring their safety and improving their chances of survival from attacks by predators. The most common predators of parrots include hawks, snakes, cats, monkeys, and bats. Some predators make attacks only during the day while others hunt in the night.
As prey animals, parrots are constantly watching out for danger and they instinctively (本能地) react to risks. Their first choice is to take flight. However, if this is not possible, they will fight with their powerful beaks to defend themselves.
Because their biggest enemy is the hawk, parrots are especially reactive to quick movements from above and behind. For this reason, it is wise to avoid quick, sudden movements near your bird. This is a built-in reaction not subject to logic or reason. Simple and relatively harmless household objects can draw extreme fear responses from a bird. For example, a balloon may represent a hawk or a vacuum hose (吸尘器软管) may be the same as a snake in your bird’s mind.
As prey animals, parrots are often frightened by exposure to new household items or strangers. It is important to expose your bird to safe experiences and changes starting at a very young age to build flexibility and improve their adaptability. Variety in diet and toys, travel, and exposure to new people and places all help to make your bird more flexible and adaptable to change.
28. What is important for parrots to better survive from attacks in the wild
A. Living in a group. B. Growing beautiful feathers.
C. Feeding on the ground. D. Avoiding coming out at night.
29. What is parrots’ first response to an immediate risk
A. To attack back. B. To get away.
C. To protect the young. D. To play dead.
30. Why would a balloon frighten a parrot
A. It may explode suddenly. B. It may be in a strange shape.
C. It may have a strong color. D. It may move around quickly.
31. What is the author’s purpose of writing the text
A. To explain wild parrots’ behavior. B. To give advice on raising a parrot.
C. To call for action to protect animals. D. To introduce a study on bird ecology.
D
Parkinson’s is a progressive brain disease which leads to shaky hands and slow movement, and there is no cure. Tai Chi, a traditional Chinese martial art that combines (结合) slow, gentle movements with deep breathing and relaxation, may be an effective means of reducing the suffering. Recently, the researchers say that those who practised the martial art twice a week had fewer complications (并发症) and better quality of life than those who didn’t. Experts say the findings back up previous studies on the benefits of exercise for those with Parkinson’s.
The study, from Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, monitored the health of hundreds of Parkinson’s patients for up to five years. One group of 147 people practised regular Tai Chi while another group of 187 did not. The researchers found that the disease progressed more slowly in the Tai Chi group on measurements of symptoms (症状), movement and balance. This group also saw fewer falls, less back pain and dizziness, with memory and concentration problems also lower than in the other group. At the same time, sleep and quality of life continuously improved.
Prof. Alastair Noyce, professor in neurology and neuroepidemiology at Queen Mary University of London, called it “an important study”—the positive effects on aspects of motor (运动的) and non-motor functions are impressive — but said there were limitations in its design, and more tests were needed.
“We already recommend Tai Chi, as well as other forms of exercise, but understanding which forms of exercise are most beneficial is an important goal to improve the long-term management of patients,” he said.
32. Why was the study conducted
A. To find a cure for Parkinson’s disease.
B. To improve the sleep quality of Parkinson’s patients.
C. To remove the misunderstanding of the previous studies.
D. To research the benefits of Tai Chi for those with Parkinson’s.
33. Which of the following is not the researchers’ finding
A. Concentration problem was lower in the Tai Chi group.
B. The disease progressed more slowly in the Tai Chi group.
C. Patients in the non-Tai Chi group continuously fell down.
D. Back pain and dizziness were relieved in the Tai Chi group.
34. What can we learn from Prof. Alastair Noyce’s words
A. Tai Chi should be given more preference.
B. Finding the most beneficial exercise is of importance.
C. It is unnecessary to do more related studies.
D. Improve the long-term management of patients is impossible.
35. What is Prof. Alastair Noyce’s attitude towards the study
A. Confused. B. Doubtful. C. Positive. D. Worried.

Jenny was the only child in her family. She had a quarrel with her mother that afternoon and she ran out of the house angrily. She couldn’t help weeping sorrowfully when she thought of the scolding from her mother. Having wandered aimlessly in the street for hours, she felt a little hungry and wished for something to eat. She stood beside a stand for a while, watching the middle-aged seller busy doing his business. However, with no money in hand, she gave a sigh and had to leave. The seller behind the stand noticed the young girl and asked, “Hey, girl, you want to have the noodles ” “Oh, yes, but I don’t have money on me.” she replied.
“That’s nothing. I’ll treat you today,” said the man “Come in.” The seller brought her a bowl of noodles, whose smell was so attractive. As she was eating, Jenny cried silently. “What is it ” asked the man kindly. “Nothing. Actually, I was just touched by your kindness!” said Jenny as she wiped her tears. “Even a stranger on the street will give me a bowl of noodles, while my mother drove me out of the house. She showed no care for me. She is so merciless compared to a stranger!” Hearing the words, the seller smiled, “Girl, do you really think so I only gave you a bowl of noodles and you thanked me a lot. But it is your mother who has raised you since you were a baby. Can you number the times she cooked for you Have you expressed your gratitude to her ” Jenny sat there, speechless and numb with shock: she remembered her mother’s familiar face and weathered hands. “Why didn’t I think of that A bowl of noodles from a stranger made me feel indebted. Why haven’t I thanked my mum for what she has done for me ” On the way home. Jenny made up her mind to make an apology to her mother for her rudeness as soon as she arrived home.

【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者嘴唇和嘴里都有胎记。在作者成长的过程中，人们总是问她嘴上的黑斑是什么，作者为此搞得筋疲力尽。在表姐的启发下，作者终于接受了自己的身份。现在当人们问起她的时候，她会毫不犹豫地说“他们是美的印记”。
【详解】1.细节理解题。根据第二段中的“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”(在照片中，我常常撅起嘴巴来掩饰我的胎记。这样我就不必面对别人的问题了。随着我长大，人们会因为胎记把我搞得筋疲力尽。)可知，作者照相时掩饰嘴上的胎记就是为避免人们的问题，人们反复问这个问题，导致作者感到厌倦，心情不好，故选D。
2.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。
3.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。
4.词义猜测题。根据画线词后面的“suggested that she should wear long sleeves more often...she wouldn’t be such a person as she is”(建议她应该多穿长袖......她不会是这样的人。)可知，表姐的奶奶想让她用长袖衣衫遮挡住胎记，因为她觉得胎记太明显了，与B项“Apparent”(明显的)符合，A. Brilliant杰出的；C. Harmful有害的；D. Impressive给人印象深刻的。故选B。
C

【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“As prey animals, parrots are constantly watching out for danger and they instinctively (本能地) react to risks. Their first choice is to take flight.(作为猎物，鹦鹉会时刻警惕危险，并本能地对风险做出反应。他们的第一反应是飞走)”可知，鹦鹉对直接风险的第一反应是逃跑，故选B项。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Because their biggest enemy is the hawk, parrots are especially reactive to quick movements from above and behind.(因为它们最大的敌人是鹰，鹦鹉对来自上方和后方的快速移动特别敏感。)” 和下文“This is a built-in reaction not subject to logic or reason.Simple and relatively harmless household objects can draw extreme fear responses from a bird. For example, a balloon may represent a hawk or a vacuum hose (吸尘器软管) may be the same as a snake in your bird’s mind.(这是一种不受逻辑或理性约束的内在反应。简单且相对无害的家居用品会引起鸟类的极度恐惧反应。例如，在你的鸟心目中，气球可能代表鹰，或者真空软管可能与蛇相同)”可知，气球能够吓到鹦鹉是因为气球可能移动速度快，让使鹦鹉联想到鹰，故选D项。

This one factor influences parrots’ behavior in your house more than any other.(鹦鹉是猎物，这意味着野生的其他捕食者，如鹰或蛇，正在寻找将它们作为食物。这一个因素比任何其他因素都更能影响鹦鹉在家里的行为)”、倒数第二段“Simple and relatively harmless household objects can draw extreme fear responses from a bird. For example, a balloon may represent a hawk or a vacuum hose (吸尘器软管) may be the same as a snake in your bird’s mind.(简单且相对无害的家居用品会引起鸟类的极度恐惧反应。例如，在你的鸟心目中，气球可能代表鹰，或者真空软管可能与蛇相同)”以及最后一段“As prey animals, parrots are often frightened by exposure to new household items or strangers. It is important to expose your bird to safe experiences and changes starting at a very young age to build flexibility and improve their adaptability. Variety in diet and toys, travel, and exposure to new people and places all help to make your bird more flexible and adaptable to change.(作为猎物，鹦鹉经常被新的家庭用品或陌生人吓到。从很小的时候就开始让你的鸟接触安全的体验和变化，以建立灵活性并提高它们的适应性，这一点很重要。饮食和玩具的多样性、旅行以及接触新的人和地方都有助于让你的鸟更灵活，更适应变化)”可知，本文的写作目的是对饲养鹦鹉提建议，故选B项。

Parkinson’s is a progressive brain disease which leads to shaky hands and slow movement, and there is no cure. Tai Chi, a traditional Chinese martial art that combines (结合) slow, gentle movements with deep breathing and relaxation, may be an effective means of reducing the suffering. Recently, the researchers say that those who practised the martial art twice a week had fewer complications (并发症) and better quality of life than those who didn’t. Experts say the findings back up previous studies on the benefits of exercise for those with Parkinson’s.
The study, from Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, monitored the health of hundreds of Parkinson’s patients for up to five years. One group of 147 people practised regular Tai Chi while another group of 187 did not. The researchers found that the disease progressed more slowly in the Tai Chi group on measurements of symptoms (症状), movement and balance. This group also saw fewer falls, less back pain and dizziness, with memory and concentration problems also lower than in the other group. At the same time, sleep and quality of life continuously improved.
Prof. Alastair Noyce, professor in neurology and neuroepidemiology at Queen Mary University of London, called it “an important study”—the positive effects on aspects of motor (运动的) and non-motor functions are impressive — but said there were limitations in its design, and more tests were needed.
“We already recommend Tai Chi, as well as other forms of exercise, but understanding which forms of exercise are most beneficial is an important goal to improve the long-term management of patients,” he said.
32. Why was the study conducted
A. To find a cure for Parkinson’s disease.
B. To improve the sleep quality of Parkinson’s patients.
C. To remove the misunderstanding of the previous studies.
D. To research the benefits of Tai Chi for those with Parkinson’s.
33. Which of the following is not the researchers’ finding
A. Concentration problem was lower in the Tai Chi group.
B. The disease progressed more slowly in the Tai Chi group.
C. Patients in the non-Tai Chi group continuously fell down.
D. Back pain and dizziness were relieved in the Tai Chi group.
34. What can we learn from Prof. Alastair Noyce’s words
A. Tai Chi should be given more preference.
B. Finding the most beneficial exercise is of importance.
C. It is unnecessary to do more related studies.
D. Improve the long-term management of patients is impossible.
35. What is Prof. Alastair Noyce’s attitude towards the study
A. Confused. B. Doubtful. C. Positive. D. Worried.
【答案】32. D 33. C 34. B 35. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了一项研究表明，练习太极拳有助于缓解帕金森氏病的症状。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Recently, the researchers say that those who practised the martial art twice a week had fewer complications (并发症) and better quality of life than those who didn’t. Experts say the findings back up previous studies on the benefits of exercise for those with Parkinson’s.(最近，研究人员表示，每周练习两次太极的人比不练习的人并发症更少，生活质量更好。专家表示，这些发现支持了之前关于运动对帕金森氏症患者益处的研究。)”和第二段中的“The study, from Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, monitored the health of hundreds of Parkinson’s patients for up to five years.(这项来自上海交通大学医学院的研究对数百名帕金森病患者的健康状况进行了长达五年的监测。)”可推测出，进行这项研究是为了研究太极拳对那些患有帕金森氏病的人产生的好处。故选D。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The researchers found that the disease progressed more slowly in the Tai Chi group on measurements of symptoms (症状), movement and balance. This group also saw fewer falls, less back pain and dizziness, with memory and concentration problems also lower than in the other group. (研究人员发现，从症状、动作和平衡的测量结果来看，太极拳组的病情进展较慢。这一组的跌倒次数更少，背痛和头晕次数更少，记忆力和注意力问题也低于另一组。)”可知，太极拳组的病情进展较慢，跌倒、背痛、头晕次数更少，记忆力和注意力问题也较低，选项A、B、D均是研究发现，C项不符合题意。故选C。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中他的话“We already recommend Tai Chi, as well as other forms of exercise, but understanding which forms of exercise are most beneficial is an important goal to improve the long-term management of patients(我们已经推荐太极拳和其他形式的运动，但了解哪些运动形式最有益是改善患者长期管理的重要目标)”可知，他认为了解哪些运动形式最有益是改善患者长期管理的重要目标，由此可推测出，找到最有益的锻炼方式是非常重要的。故选B。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Prof. Alastair Noyce, professor in neurology and neuroepidemiology at Queen Mary University of London, called it ‘an important study’—the positive effects on aspects of motor (运动的) and non-motor functions are impressive(伦敦玛丽女王大学神经病学和神经流行病学教授Alastair Noyce教授称这是‘一项重要的研究’——对运动功能和非运动功能的积极影响令人印象深刻)”可知，他认为这项研究是一项重要的研究，对运动功能和非运动功能的积极影响令人印象深刻，由此可推测出，他对这项研究持肯定态度。故选C。

【导语】这是一篇记叙文，主要向我们介绍了中国传统节日清明节和寒食节与介子推之间的联系，相传大王想要介子推辅佐他，但介子推拒绝了，并躲进了山里，大王想用烧山的方式逼出介子推，但最终失败，介子推被烧死了。所以寒食节就是人们为了纪念介子推的。
【56题详解】
考查副词。句意：人们通常把清明和公元前600年生活在山西的介子推联系在一起。空格处用副词popularly修饰形容词associated，popularly意为“通常”。故填popularly。
【57题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：人们通常把清明和公元前600年生活在山西的介子推联系在一起。空格处引导的是非限制性定语从句，从句中缺少主语，先行词Jie Zizhui是人，因此空格处用关系代词who，故填who。
【58题详解】
考查副词。句意：然而，介之推拒绝了他的邀请，宁愿和他的母亲在山里过简单的生活。根据语境可知，句子表示“然而，介之推拒绝了他的邀请，宁愿和他的母亲在山里过简单的生活”，空格处意为“然而”，是however，位于句首，首字母大写，故填However。
【59题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：然而，介之推拒绝了他的邀请，宁愿和他的母亲在山里过简单的生活。句中谓语是declined，空格处用非谓语动词，Jie和prefer是主谓关系，因此空格处用现在分词preferring表主动，故填preferring。
【60题详解】
考查不定式。句意：为了纪念介之推，秦始皇下令在介之推死的那一天，家家户户的火都要熄灭。根据语境可知，句子表示“为了纪念介之推，秦始皇下令在介之推死的那一天，家家户户的火都要熄灭”，空格处用不定式表目的，位于句首的单词首字母大写，故填To memorize。
【61题详解】
考查介词。句意：为了纪念介之推，秦始皇下令在介之推死的那一天，家家户户的火都要熄灭。anniversary是具体的一天，前面用介词on，故填on。
【62题详解】
考查时态，语态和主谓一致。句意：寒食节发生在清明前夕，被认为是清明节的一部分。寒食节被认为是清明节的一部分，句子用被动语态，且句子描述客观事实，时态用一般现在时，因此空格处用一般现在时的被动语态，主语The “cold food” festival是单数，因此空格处用is considered。故填is considered。
【63题详解】
考查冠词。句意：无论是什么习俗，清明的基本习俗是通过特别的努力来纪念长辈的坟墓，骨灰或祖先牌位。make an effort to do是固定短语，意为“努力做某事”，special是辅音音素开头，因此空格处用a，故填a。
【64题详解】
考查比较级。句意：为了使访问更有意义，应该花一些时间来提醒年轻的家庭成员的生活和他们的祖先的贡献。even修饰比较级，meaningful的比较级是more meaningful，故填more meaningful。
【65题详解】
考查名词的复数。句意：在这一天最重要的活动之一是扫墓，以纪念祖先，已故的亲戚和朋友。空前有One of，空格处用复数activities，故填activities。

Jenny was the only child in her family. She had a quarrel with her mother that afternoon and she ran out of the house angrily. She couldn’t help weeping sorrowfully when she thought of the scolding from her mother. Having wandered aimlessly in the street for hours, she felt a little hungry and wished for something to eat. She stood beside a stand for a while, watching the middle-aged seller busy doing his business. However, with no money in hand, she gave a sigh and had to leave. The seller behind the stand noticed the young girl and asked, “Hey, girl, you want to have the noodles ” “Oh, yes, but I don’t have money on me.” she replied.
“That’s nothing. I’ll treat you today,” said the man “Come in.” The seller brought her a bowl of noodles, whose smell was so attractive. As she was eating, Jenny cried silently. “What is it ” asked the man kindly. “Nothing. Actually, I was just touched by your kindness!” said Jenny as she wiped her tears. “Even a stranger on the street will give me a bowl of noodles, while my mother drove me out of the house. She showed no care for me. She is so merciless compared to a stranger!” Hearing the words, the seller smiled, “Girl, do you really think so I only gave you a bowl of noodles and you thanked me a lot. But it is your mother who has raised you since you were a baby. Can you number the times she cooked for you Have you expressed your gratitude to her ” Jenny sat there, speechless and numb with shock: she remembered her mother’s familiar face and weathered hands. “Why didn’t I think of that A bowl of noodles from a stranger made me feel indebted. Why haven’t I thanked my mum for what she has done for me ” On the way home. Jenny made up her mind to make an apology to her mother for her rudeness as soon as she arrived home.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Nearing the doorway, Jenny took a deep breath. When she pushed the door open and entered the house, she found her mother was not in. Tired and sad, she sunk down into the sofa. “ Where could my mother be ” she wondered. “Was she still angry with me ” Again, the scene of the quarrel appeared in her mind. She remembered her rudeness to her mother. Realizing that all the scolding from her mother was due to the fact that her mother really cared a lot about her, she felt rather ashamed, tears rolling down her cheeks.
A gentle touch on her hair called her mind back. She raised her head and saw the familiar face of her mother. “Here you come! I’ve been looking for you,” she said, fatigued but relieved. Jenny couldn’t help throwing herself into her mother’ arms. “Mum, I’m so sorry and thank you for all you have done for me.” she expressed her sincere apology and great gratitude.
