One day when I was 15 years old, I was making food in the kitchen. My brother came in. He placed his beef next to my thick one and said, “Courtney, your beef is bigger than mine. You don’t need to eat; you’re too fat.” Then he walked out laughing. From then on, I was unwilling to wear shorts until I was 30 years old. For the next 15 years, I spent summer after summer roasting in long pants.
But then I met Rage n Chastain. I couldn’t believe that this almost 300-pound woman who, like myself, was so energetic and happy in her own skin. I listened as she shared her own journey to recovery and self-love. She talked about how amazing our bodies are, simply because of the things they do every day—like breathing, pumping blood to every cell and walking.
Walking! I suddenly realized how foolish I’d been for so long. There are people who are born without legs, or who lack properly working legs, or who lose their legs, and I’d been hiding my perfectly strong, healthy and beautiful legs in shame. The next day, I bought three pairs of shorts and a sundress and spent the entire summer letting my legs see the sun and feel the breeze.
The next time anyone comments on your body in a negative way, look them straight in the eye, smile and say, “If what you see bothers you so much, feel free to practice the ancient art of looking somewhere else.” That’s Ragen’s own creation, but I don’t think she’ll mind if you use it.
4. What can we know about the author when she was a teenager
A. She was fat. B. She disliked beef.
C. Her parents loved her more. D. Her brother always helped her.
5. Which of the following can best describe Rage n Chastain

C. The shorts were suitable for the weather. D. She wanted to give them to Ragen Chastain.
7. What does the author want to tell us
A. Dress whatever we want and ignore others’ judgement.
B. There are many people who are as fat as us in the world.
C. Love ourselves and don’t care about others’ negative opinions.
D. Eat as you like and there’s no need to care about our bodies.
【答案】4. A 5. C 6. B 7. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是记叙文。主要讲述了作者自己的亲身经历和心路历程，从被哥哥嘲笑身材开始，到长达15年不敢穿短裤，再到遇见Ragen Chastain后重新找回自信和自尊，勇敢地穿上短裤展示自己的身体。
【4题详解】

You don’t need to eat; you’re too fat.” (他把他的牛肉放在我的厚牛肉旁边，说：“Courtney，你的牛肉比我的大。你不需要吃东西；你太胖了。”)”以及第二段“I couldn’t believe that this almost 300-pound woman who, like myself, was so energetic and happy in her own skin. (我简直不敢相信，这个将近300磅的女人，和我一样，在自己的皮肤上如此精力充沛，如此快乐)”可知，作者以前很胖。故选A项。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“She talked about how amazing our bodies are, simply because of the things they do every day—like breathing, pumping blood to every cell and walking. (她谈到我们的身体是多么神奇，仅仅是因为它们每天所做的事情——呼吸、向每个细胞输送血液和行走。)”以及最后一段中的“The next time anyone comments on your body in a negative way, look them straight in the eye, smile and say, “If what you see bothers you so much, feel free to practice the ancient art of looking somewhere else.” (下次如果有人对你的身体发表负面评论，直视他们的眼睛，微笑着说：“如果你看到的东西让你如此困扰，那就试试看别的地方的古老艺术吧。”)”可推知，Ragen Chastain 是非常积极乐观的。故选C项。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Walking! I suddenly realized how foolish I’d been for so long. There are people who are born without legs, or who lack properly working legs, or who lose their legs, and I’d been hiding my perfectly strong, healthy and beautiful legs in shame. The next day, I bought three pairs of shorts and a sundress and spent the entire summer letting my legs see the sun and feel the breeze. (走!我突然意识到我这么长时间以来是多么愚蠢。有些人天生就没有腿，或者没有正常工作的腿，或者失去了腿，而我一直羞愧地隐藏着我强壮、健康、美丽的腿。第二天，我买了三条短裤和一件背心裙，整个夏天都在让我的腿看到太阳，感受微风。)”可知，作者听完 Rage n Chastain 故事后倍受启发，买了三条短裤。故选B项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据全文内容，特别是最后一段“The next time anyone comments on your body in a negative way, look them straight in the eye, smile and say, “If what you see bothers you so much, feel free to practice the ancient art of looking somewhere else.” That’s Ragen’s own creation, but I don’t think she’ll mind if you use it. (下次如果有人对你的身体发表负面评论，直视他们的眼睛，微笑着说：“如果你看到的东西让你如此困扰，那就试试看别的地方的古老艺术吧。”那是Ragen自己做的，但我觉得她不会介意你用的。)”可推知，作者告诉我们不要在意别人对自己身体的负面评价，每个人都应该爱自己并充满活力、勇敢地生活。故选C项。

Moving to a foreign country is an amazing, life-changing experience. It’s a chance to meet new people, put yourself in a different culture and possibly learn another language. However, before such an adventure, there are some practical decisions that need to be made. One such decision is choosing where to live.
Will you stay in your own apartment where you can have your own space and privacy Will you share a flat with other young foreigners who are in a similar position to you Or will you choose to live with a host family For me, choosing to live with a French family was the best choice I made, and here is why.
Firstly, a family can show you around the city or town and help you settle in, stopping you from feeling lonely. When you’re in a new environment, you might feel lost, tired and homesick—I know I did. However, my host family were wonderful and welcoming; they showed me which buses to take to get to work, cooked dinner for me, and took me with them on trips to the beach and the theatre. These were great chances to experience French culture and build relationships.
Above all, living with French people has helped me improve my language skills. Being constantly exposed to French conversations has allowed me to learn new phrases, widen my vocabulary and even improve my accent. My host family are happy to answer my questions and correct me when I say things wrong.
Finally, the experience of living abroad is one that you will not forget forever, and perhaps the friendships—like the memories—will also last. I hope to remain in contact with my host family long after I leave France because when I was away from my friends and loved ones, they welcomed me and made me part of their family.
8. What is the purpose of the author in writing the text
A. To introduce his host family.
B. To share his life experience.
C. To suggest the foreign life is quite attractive.
D. To tell how to choose a living place in a foreign country.
9. Why did the author choose to live with a French family
A. He could get a lot of help from the family. B. He was afraid of living in a new environment.
C. The family could help him get rid of his illness. D. The family provided him with free meals every day.
10. What did the author benefit most from the host family
A. They cooked dinner for him. B. They took him to the theatre.
C. They showed him around the city. D. They helped him improve his French.
11. How does the author develop the text
A. By making comparison. B. By listing detailed reasons.
C. By following the time order. D. By following the order of importance.

People are less willing to rely on their knowledge and say they know something when they have access (使用权) to the Internet. That suggests that our connection to the Internet is affecting how we think. Professor Evan F. Risko led a study where 100 participants (参与者) faced general knowledge questions, such as naming the capital of France. For half of the study, participants had access to the Internet. They had to look up the answer when they said that they did not know the answer. In the other half of the study, participants who did not have access to the Internet did differently.
The team found that the people who had access to the Internet were about 5 percent more likely to say that they did not know the answer to the question. And the people with access to the Internet reported feeling as though they knew less. “When a large amount of information is within reach, people seem less likely to rely on their own knowledge,” said Professor Risko.
Through the results, the researchers held that access to the Internet might make it less acceptable to say you know something but are incorrect. It is also possible that participants were more likely to say they didn’t know an answer when they had access to the Internet, because online searching offers a chance to confirm (证实) their answer or satisfy their curiosity.
“Our results suggest that access to the Internet affects the decisions we make about what we know and don’t know. We hope this research is helpful in our growing understanding of how easily access to large amounts of information can influence our thinking.” Risko said and planned to further the research in this area.
12. What can we know about the participants without the Internet
A. They knew all the answers.
B. They asked to look up the answers.
C. They were surer of their knowledge.
D. They were more successful in their jobs.
13 Why did those with the Internet depend less on their knowledge
A. They knew a little about the answers.
B. They wanted to avoid making mistakes.
C. They could not give the correct answers.
D. They were curious about other people’s lives.
14. What does the underlined part “this area” in the last paragraph refer to
A. Our growing understanding.
B. What we know and don’t know.
C. Our access to large amounts of information.
D. The influence of access to the Internet on us.
15. What is the text mainly about
A. Access to the Internet is running our lives.
B. The Internet is a good place to get information.
C. We’re unwilling to believe in others with the Internet.
D. The Internet makes us unwilling to say we know things.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要讲了现在的人们更多的是依靠互联网获取知识，而不是依赖自身掌握的知识，Evan Risko教授做了一项研究，结果表明更多的人通过互联网查询知识，因为他们不确定自己掌握的知识是否正确，这说明了互联网在影响着人们的思想，人们也越来越依靠互联网。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“For half of the study, participants had access to the Internet. They had to look up the answer when they said that they did not know the answer. In the other half of the study, participants who did not have access to the Internet did differently.(在一半的研究中，参与者可以上网。当他们说不知道答案时，他们必须查阅答案。在研究的另一半中，不能上网的参与者表现不同。)”可知，可以上网的参与者说不知道答案时，他们必须查阅答案，而不能上网的参与者表现不同；结合下文第二段“The team found that the people who had access to the Internet were about 5 percent more likely to say that they did not know the answer to the question. And the people with access to the Internet reported feeling as though they knew less. “When a large amount of information is within reach, people seem less likely to rely on their own knowledge,” said Professor Risko.(研究小组发现，能上网的人说他们不知道问题答案的可能性要高出5%。而那些能上网的人则感觉自己知道的少了。‘当大量信息触手可及时，人们似乎不太可能依赖自己的知识，’里斯科教授说。)”可知，能上网的人不知道问题答案可能性更高，感觉自己知道的少，似乎不太依赖相信自己的知识；由此可推知，不能上网的人对自己的知识更加的确定。故选C。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“It is also possible that participants were more likely to say they didn’t know an answer when they had access to the Internet, because online searching offers a chance to confirm (证实)their answer or satisfy their curiosity.(还有一种可能是，当参与者能够上网时，他们更有可能说自己不知道答案，因为在线搜索提供了一个确认答案或满足好奇心的机会)”可知，那些有互联网的人不太依赖他们的知识因为他们想避免犯错误。故选B。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据文章最后一段“We hope this research is helpful in our growing understanding of how easily access to large amounts of information can influence our thinking. (我们希望这项研究有助于我们越来越多地理解，获取大量信息是如何影响我们的思维的。)”可知，this area指代上句中“how easily access to large amounts of information can influence our thinking.(容易接触到大量信息会如何影响我们的思维)”； D项“The influence of access to the Internet on us.(上网对我们的影响)”合乎题意。故选D。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“People are less willing to rely on their knowledge and say they know something when they have access (使用权) to the Internet.(人们不太愿意依靠自己的知识，当他们有机会上网时，他们会说自己知道一些事情。)”以及后文可知，文章主要讲解的是本文主要讲了现在的人们更多的是依靠互联网获取知识，而不是依赖自身掌握的知识。D项“The Internet makes us unwilling to say we know things.(互联网让我们不愿意说我们知道的事情)”能够概括文章主旨。故选D。

I have five months to travel before I write! I’m going to some countries where I can practice speaking English. Where am I going to start
Canada It’s the Rockies for me in November! There are mountains and beautiful lakes everywhere. I’d like to visit Nunavut, the home of the Inuit in the north of Canada, but unfortunately I’m not going to get there. Australia Australia is very hot from November to March.

India Rajasthan is the perfect introduction to India with its festivals and monuments (古迹). There are also exciting markets, with beautiful clothes and jewelry. I’m going to spend the month of January there. South Africa South Africa offers safaris (狩猎旅行) and the chance to see wild animals. It also has a wonderful coastline, so, after the safari, I’m going to find a beach and go swimming there. I’m going in February.

One day when I was 15 years old, I was making food in the kitchen. My brother came in. He placed his beef next to my thick one and said, “Courtney, your beef is bigger than mine. You don’t need to eat; you’re too fat.” Then he walked out laughing. From then on, I was unwilling to wear shorts until I was 30 years old. For the next 15 years, I spent summer after summer roasting in long pants.
But then I met Rage n Chastain. I couldn’t believe that this almost 300-pound woman who, like myself, was so energetic and happy in her own skin. I listened as she shared her own journey to recovery and self-love. She talked about how amazing our bodies are, simply because of the things they do every day—like breathing, pumping blood to every cell and walking.
Walking! I suddenly realized how foolish I’d been for so long. There are people who are born without legs, or who lack properly working legs, or who lose their legs, and I’d been hiding my perfectly strong, healthy and beautiful legs in shame. The next day, I bought three pairs of shorts and a sundress and spent the entire summer letting my legs see the sun and feel the breeze.
The next time anyone comments on your body in a negative way, look them straight in the eye, smile and say, “If what you see bothers you so much, feel free to practice the ancient art of looking somewhere else.” That’s Ragen’s own creation, but I don’t think she’ll mind if you use it.
4. What can we know about the author when she was a teenager
A. She was fat. B. She disliked beef.
C. Her parents loved her more. D. Her brother always helped her.
5. Which of the following can best describe Rage n Chastain
A. Honest. B. Clever. C. Positive. D. Responsible.
6. Why did the author buy three pairs of shorts
A. The shorts were on sale. B. She was inspired by Rage n Chastain.
C. The shorts were suitable for the weather. D. She wanted to give them to Ragen Chastain.
7. What does the author want to tell us
A. Dress whatever we want and ignore others’ judgement.
B. There are many people who are as fat as us in the world.
C. Love ourselves and don’t care about others’ negative opinions.

C
Moving to a foreign country is an amazing, life-changing experience. It’s a chance to meet new people, put yourself in a different culture and possibly learn another language. However, before such an adventure, there are some practical decisions that need to be made. One such decision is choosing where to live.
Will you stay in your own apartment where you can have your own space and privacy Will you share a flat with other young foreigners who are in a similar position to you Or will you choose to live with a host family For me, choosing to live with a French family was the best choice I made, and here is why.
Firstly a family can show you around the city or town and help you settle in, stopping you from feeling lonely. When you’re in a new environment, you might feel lost, tired and homesick—I know I did. However, my host family were wonderful and welcoming; they showed me which buses to take to get to work, cooked dinner for me, and took me with them on trips to the beach and the theatre. These were great chances to experience French culture and build relationships.
Above all, living with French people has helped me improve my language skills. Being constantly exposed to French conversations has allowed me to learn new phrases, widen my vocabulary and even improve my accent. My host family are happy to answer my questions and correct me when I say things wrong.
Finally, the experience of living abroad is one that you will not forget forever, and perhaps the friendships—like the memories—will also last. I hope to remain in contact with my host family long after I leave France because when I was away from my friends and loved ones, they welcomed me and made me part of their family.

People are less willing to rely on their knowledge and say they know something when they have access (使用权) to the Internet. That suggests that our connection to the Internet is affecting how we think. Professor Evan F. Risko led a study where 100 participants (参与者) faced general knowledge questions, such as naming the capital of France. For half of the study, participants had access to the Internet. They had to look up the answer when they said that they did not know the answer. In the other half of the study, participants who did not have access to the Internet did differently.
The team found that the people who had access to the Internet were about 5 percent more likely to say that they did not know the answer to the question. And the people with access to the Internet reported feeling as though they knew less. “When a large amount of information is within reach, people seem less likely to rely on their own knowledge,” said Professor Risko.
Through the results, the researchers held that access to the Internet might make it less acceptable to say you know something but are incorrect. It is also possible that participants were more likely to say they didn’t know an answer when they had access to the Internet, because online searching offers a chance to confirm (证实) their answer or satisfy their curiosity.
“Our results suggest that access to the Internet affects the decisions we make about what we know and don’t know. We hope this research is helpful in our growing understanding of how easily access to large amounts of information can influence our thinking.” Risko said and planned to further the research in this area.
12. What can we know about the participants without the Internet
A. They knew all the answers.
B. They asked to look up the answers.
C. They were surer of their knowledge.
D. They were more successful in their jobs.
13. Why did those with the Internet depend less on their knowledge
A. They knew a little about the answers.
B. They wanted to avoid making mistakes.
C. They could not give the correct answers.
D. They were curious about other people’s lives.
14. What does the underlined part “this area” in the last paragraph refer to
A. Our growing understanding.
B. What we know and don’t know.
C. Our access to large amounts of information.
D. The influence of access to the Internet on us.
15. What is the text mainly about
A. Access to the Internet is running our lives.
B. The Internet is a good place to get information.
C. We’re unwilling to believe in others with the Internet.
D. The Internet makes us unwilling to say we know things.
