全卷满分150分，时间120分钟
第一卷 选择题 共70分
第一部分:阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)
第一节 (共15小题; 每小题2分, 满分30分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A,B,C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Green is an importan ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t color in nature. It is the color of grass and the leaves on trees. It is also the color of most growing plants.
Sometimes, the word g ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )reen means young, fresh and growing. Sometimes, it describes something that is not yet ripe or finished. A greenhorn is someone who has no experience. who is new to a situation. But in the fifteenth century, a greenhorn was a young cow or ox whose home had not yet developed. A century or so later, a greenhorn was a soldier who had not yet had any experience in battle. By the eighteenth century, a greenhorn had the meaning it has today--a person who is new in a job.
Someone who has the a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )bility to grow plants well is said to have a green thumb. The expression comes from the early nineteen hundreds. A person, with a green thumb seems to have a magic touch that makes plants grow quickly and well. You might say that the woman next door has a green thumb if her garden continues to grow long after your plants have died.
The green-eye ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d monster is not a nightening creature from outer space, It is an expression used about four hundred years ago by British writer William Shakespeare in his play Othello." It describes the unpleasant feeling a person has when someone has something he wants. A young man may suffer from the green-eyed monster if his girlfriend begins going out with someone else. Or, that green-eyed monster may affect your friend if you get a pay raise and she does not.
In most places in the world, a green light is a signal to move ahead. A green light on a traffic signal means your car can continue on. In everyday speech, a green light means approval to continue with a project.
1 . How many expres ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )sions including "green" are mentioned in the passage
A. Three. B. Four. C. Five. D. Six.
2. What does "a greenhorn" mean now
A. A person who h ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )as rich job experience. B. A soldier who has not yet any experience in battle.
C. A young cow or ox whose horns have not yet developed.
D. A person who is a green hand without any experience.
3. Which expression ca ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n be used if your friend is good at growing plants
A. A green thumb. B. A green light. C. A greenhorn D. The green-eyed monster.
4. What will make you suffer from the green-eyed monster
A. You meet a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) frightening g creature. B. You watch the play "Othello";
C. Your girl ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )friend dates with your friend. D. You get a pay raise.
B
As any plane passen ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ger will confirm, a crying baby is almost impossible to ignore, no matter how hard you try. Now scientists believe they may have worked out why. A baby’s cry pulls at the heartstrings(扣人心弦) in a way while other cries don’t, researchers found.
Researchers found that a baby’s cry can trigger unique emotional responses in the brain, making it impossible for us to ignore them---whether we are parents or not. Other types of cries, including calls of animals in great pain, fail to get the same response---suggesting the brain is programmed to respond specifically to a baby’s cry.
A team of Oxford Un ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )iversity scientists scanned the brains of 28 men and women as they listened to a variety of calls and cries. After 100 milliseconds two parts of the brain that respond to emotion lit up. Their response to a baby’s cry was particularly strong. The response was seen in both men and women—even if they had no children.
Researcher Dr Chr ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )istine Parsons said, “You might read that men should just notice a baby and step over it and not see it, but it’s not true. There is a special processing in men and women, which makes sense from an evolutionary(演变的) view that both men and women would be responding to these cries.” The study was in people who were not parents, yet they are all responding at 100ms to these particular cries, so this might be a fundamental response present in all of us regardless of parental status.
Researcher Katie Young said it may take a bit longer for someone to recognize their own child’s cries because they need to do more “fine-grained analysis”. The team had previously found that our reactions speed up when we hear a baby crying. Adults performed better on computer games when they heard the sound of a baby crying than after they heard recordings of adults crying.
5. A baby’s cry is difficult to ignore because it _____.
A. keeps on crying B. cries harder than adults
C. causes people great pain D. makes people feel strong emotions
6. The underlined wo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rd “trigger” in Paragraph 2 probably means “_____”
A. remove B. avoid C. cause D. Cure
7. What may Christine Parsons agree to
A. Almost everyone makes certain response to a baby’s cries.
B. A crying baby makes no sense to people without children.
C. Men pay less attention to a crying baby than women.
D. Parents can hardly recognize their own babies’ cry.
8. Computer games are mentioned in the text to show _____.
A. Players’ different reactions to a crying baby
B. Baby’s crying contributes to quicker reactions
C. the influence of baby’s and adult’s crying on performance
D. It’s hard to keep one’s concentration with a crying baby nearby
C
As we know, it is ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )common for people to catch a cold in winter and most people believe they know the reason for colds. However, scientists say people have some wrong beliefs about the cause of colds.
Many people think t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hat once you get infected by colds, you will not be easy to be attacked by colds for the rest of your life. That’s not the case. There are about 200 different viruses that cause the common cold. You catch a cold because of one kind of them this time, but you might catch a cold next time because of another.
Others believe ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )that people get sick just because of the cold weather in winter. That is also wrong.
It’s because people ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) tend to stay closer in winter and the cold virus is transmitted from one person to another through handshakes, sneezing, or coughing.
While there is no act ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ual cure for the common cold, scientists say there are still a few things you can do to help you. Some experts say honey and chicken soup are effective against colds. Especially honey. There is increasing evidence that it helps shorten the duration of the common cold sometimes even by two to three days particularly in children. Chicken soup also helps reduce the duration of the cold.
In addition, i ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )f you do have a cold and you don’t feel like eating anything, it’s not going to hurt you but you have to drink a lot and you can drink water or tea because doctors say the water cycle in your bodies helps to cure colds. That’s very important. Though there is more than one way to deal with colds, doctors say the best advice is to continue using whatever works best for you.
9. We know from the second paragraph that ______.
A. colds can be c ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )aused by different viruses B. there are people who never catch a cold
C. the common cold is caused by only one virus D. all people are easily attacked by colds
10. The underlined ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )word “transmitted” in the fourth paragraph means “______”.
A. cured B. changed C. passed D. caused
11. If you have a cold, you can do the following except ______.
A. drinking a lot ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) of water B. forcing yourself to eat C. eating honey D. drinking chicken soups
12. It can be inferred from the passage that ______.
A. different people may have different ways to fight against colds
B. now scientists have found out practical treatment for colds
C. working in freezing weather is the main reason for colds
D. colds can be passed from animals to human beings
D
As the Internet bec ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )omes more and more popular, many network buzzwords (网络流行语) have appeared in our life. Here are some of them in no particular order.
1. Meng Meng Da (cute/adorable)
Meng Meng Da de ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )velops from the sounds of kissing both cheeks. The characters “么么哒” are often used in text messaging to symbolize kisses, much like “XOXO” in English. The kissing sounds were eventually replaced with “meng”, which means “cute” or “adorable.”
2. It is to be cherished(珍惜).
On March 31, 2014, Ma Yili responded to Wen Zhang’s cheating on Sina Weibo. It reads as follows: Being in love is easy, being married is not. It is to be cherished. Soon many Internet users began to make sentences with this pattern. For example, “Copying is easy, creating is not. It is to be cherished.”
3. So the question is……
“So the question ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) is…” is taken from the advertising of Lanxiang Vocational School in Shandong Province: “So the question is: Which school offers the best excavator(挖掘机) skills Go to Shandong and find Lanxiang.” Netizens add the phrase “now here comes the question” before the question “which school has the best excavator skills ”, which can also be followed with other questions”.
4. Rich and Bitch（任性）
The buzzword orig ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )inates from a real event: A while back, a Mr. Liu spent 1760 yuan online buying a health care product. In the following four months, Mr. Liu remitted (汇款) more than half a million yuan to the swindler. When reporters interviewed him, he said that he had already found himself cheated after spending only 70,000 yuan. “I just wanted to see how much they could take from me!” Sometimes it is translated as, “You can just be stubborn if you’re rich.”. Another way to understand it is “I can do what I want – I’m rich.”
13.How much was Mr. Liu cheated out of altogether
A. 1760 yuan. ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) B. 540,000 yuan. C. 70,000 yuan. D. A million yuan.
14.Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage
A. Network buzzwords may come from real events.
B. “So the question is…… ” comes from a TV series.
C. “It is to be cherished” was first said by MaYili.
D. “Rich and Bitch” is often used to describe the rich.
15.Where can we use “It is to be cherished”
A. Love me, love m ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )y dog. B. Where there is a will, there is a way.
C. Eating is easy, losing weight is not. D. The older, the wiser.

As any plane passen ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ger will confirm, a crying baby is almost impossible to ignore, no matter how hard you try. Now scientists believe they may have worked out why. A baby’s cry pulls at the heartstrings(扣人心弦) in a way while other cries don’t, researchers found.
Researchers found that a baby’s cry can trigger unique emotional responses in the brain, making it impossible for us to ignore them---whether we are parents or not. Other types of cries, including calls of animals in great pain, fail to get the same response---suggesting the brain is programmed to respond specifically to a baby’s cry.
A team of Oxford Un ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )iversity scientists scanned the brains of 28 men and women as they listened to a variety of calls and cries. After 100 milliseconds two parts of the brain that respond to emotion lit up. Their response to a baby’s cry was particularly strong. The response was seen in both men and women—even if they had no children.
Researcher Dr Chr ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )istine Parsons said, “You might read that men should just notice a baby and step over it and not see it, but it’s not true. There is a special processing in men and women, which makes sense from an evolutionary(演变的) view that both men and women would be responding to these cries.” The study was in people who were not parents, yet they are all responding at 100ms to these particular cries, so this might be a fundamental response present in all of us regardless of parental status.
Researcher Katie Young said it may take a bit longer for someone to recognize their own child’s cries because they need to do more “fine-grained analysis”. The team had previously found that our reactions speed up when we hear a baby crying. Adults performed better on computer games when they heard the sound of a baby crying than after they heard recordings of adults crying.
5. A baby’s cry is difficult to ignore because it _____.
A. keeps on crying B. cries harder than adults
C. causes people great pain D. makes people feel strong emotions
6. The underlined wo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rd “trigger” in Paragraph 2 probably means “_____”
A. remove B. avoid C. cause D. Cure
7. What may Christine Parsons agree to
A. Almost everyone makes certain response to a baby’s cries.
B. A crying baby makes no sense to people without children.
C. Men pay less attention to a crying baby than women.
D. Parents can hardly recognize their own babies’ cry.
8. Computer games are mentioned in the text to show _____.
A. Players’ different reactions to a crying baby
B. Baby’s crying contributes to quicker reactions
C. the influence of baby’s and adult’s crying on performance
D. It’s hard to keep one’s concentration with a crying baby nearby
C
As we know, it is ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )common for people to catch a cold in winter and most people believe they know the reason for colds. However, scientists say people have some wrong beliefs about the cause of colds.
Many people think t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hat once you get infected by colds, you will not be easy to be attacked by colds for the rest of your life. That’s not the case. There are about 200 different viruses that cause the common cold. You catch a cold because of one kind of them this time, but you might catch a cold next time because of another.
Others believe ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )that people get sick just because of the cold weather in winter. That is also wrong.
It’s because people ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) tend to stay closer in winter and the cold virus is transmitted from one person to another through handshakes, sneezing, or coughing.
While there is no act ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ual cure for the common cold, scientists say there are still a few things you can do to help you. Some experts say honey and chicken soup are effective against colds. Especially honey. There is increasing evidence that it helps shorten the duration of the common cold sometimes even by two to three days particularly in children. Chicken soup also helps reduce the duration of the cold.
In addition, i ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )f you do have a cold and you don’t feel like eating anything, it’s not going to hurt you but you have to drink a lot and you can drink water or tea because doctors say the water cycle in your bodies helps to cure colds. That’s very important. Though there is more than one way to deal with colds, doctors say the best advice is to continue using whatever works best for you.
9. We know from the second paragraph that ______.
A. colds can be c ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )aused by different viruses B. there are people who never catch a cold
C. the common cold is caused by only one virus D. all people are easily attacked by colds
10. The underlined ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )word “transmitted” in the fourth paragraph means “______”.
A. cured B. changed C. passed D. caused
11. If you have a cold, you can do the following except ______.
A. drinking a lot ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) of water B. forcing yourself to eat C. eating honey D. drinking chicken soups
12. It can be inferred from the passage that ______.
A. different people may have different ways to fight against colds
B. now scientists have found out practical treatment for colds
C. working in freezing weather is the main reason for colds
D. colds can be passed from animals to human beings
D
As the Internet bec ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )omes more and more popular, many network buzzwords (网络流行语) have appeared in our life. Here are some of them in no particular order.
1. Meng Meng Da (cute/adorable)
Meng Meng Da de ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )velops from the sounds of kissing both cheeks. The characters “么么哒” are often used in text messaging to symbolize kisses, much like “XOXO” in English. The kissing sounds were eventually replaced with “meng”, which means “cute” or “adorable.”
2. It is to be cherished(珍惜).
On March 31, 2014, Ma Yili responded to Wen Zhang’s cheating on Sina Weibo. It reads as follows: Being in love is easy, being married is not. It is to be cherished. Soon many Internet users began to make sentences with this pattern. For example, “Copying is easy, creating is not. It is to be cherished.”
3. So the question is……
“So the question ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) is…” is taken from the advertising of Lanxiang Vocational School in Shandong Province: “So the question is: Which school offers the best excavator(挖掘机) skills Go to Shandong and find Lanxiang.” Netizens add the phrase “now here comes the question” before the question “which school has the best excavator skills ”, which can also be followed with other questions”.
4. Rich and Bitch（任性）
The buzzword orig ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )inates from a real event: A while back, a Mr. Liu spent 1760 yuan online buying a health care product. In the following four months, Mr. Liu remitted (汇款) more than half a million yuan to the swindler. When reporters interviewed him, he said that he had already found himself cheated after spending only 70,000 yuan. “I just wanted to see how much they could take from me!” Sometimes it is translated as, “You can just be stubborn if you’re rich.”. Another way to understand it is “I can do what I want – I’m rich.”
13.How much was Mr. Liu cheated out of altogether
A. 1760 yuan. ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) B. 540,000 yuan. C. 70,000 yuan. D. A million yuan.
14.Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage
A. Network buzzwords may come from real events.
B. “So the question is…… ” comes from a TV series.
C. “It is to be cherished” was first said by MaYili.
D. “Rich and Bitch” is often used to describe the rich.
15.Where can we use “It is to be cherished”
A. Love me, love m ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )y dog. B. Where there is a will, there is a way.
C. Eating is easy, losing weight is not. D. The older, the wiser.
