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。
[A]
I think a close friend is someone you get on really well with, who helps you when you have problems, who gives you advice, and who always has time for you. I didn't use to have many close friends when I was at school or at university as I was very shy, but now I have several. They are all women?—?I think it's difficult to have a close friend of the opposite sex (异性).
—?Marie
I don't really have any close friends. I know a lot of people but mainly through work, and the kind of social occasions (场合) when we meet are business dinners and evening parties. I think if you come from a really close family, then friends are a bit unnecessary. The little free time I have I prefer to spend with my family.
—?Richard
I think a close friend is someone who you've known for a long time, and who you still get on with. They probably have similar hobbies to you so you can do things together. I've got three close friends who I was at high school with and we often go away together (without our parents of course). We always go camping and somewhere we can go walking, play football and be outside in the open air.
—?David
For me close friends are the people you spend your free time with. I go out at weekends with a group of people — there are about seven of us, and I'd say we are all close friends. We also live near each other. I don't think you can have close friends at a distance (在远处); you need to be able to see each other often. But I don't think you need to be doing the same things. I mean I'm at university but none of my friends are.
—?Ana
21. What does Richard say about friends?
A. It's hard to make friends at work.
B. They're less important than family.

[B]
What a day! I started at my new school this morning and had the best time. I made lots of new friends and really liked my teachers. I was nervous the night before, but I had no reason to be. Everyone was so friendly and polite. They made me feel at ease. It was like I'd been at the school for a hundred years!
The day started very early at 7:00 am. I had my breakfast downstairs with my mom. She could tell that I was very nervous. Mom kept asking me what was wrong. She told me I had nothing to worry about and that everyone was going to love me. If they didn't love me, Mom said to send them her way for a good talking to. I couldn't stop laughing.
My mom dropped me off at the school gates about five minutes before the bell. A little blonde (金发的) girl got dropped off at the same time and started waving (招手) at me. She ran over and told me her name was Abigail. She was very nice and we became close straight away. We spent all morning together and began to talk to another girl called Stacey. The three of us sat together in class all day and we even made our way home together! It went so quickly. Our teacher told us that tomorrow we would really start learning and developing new skills.
I cannot wait until tomorrow and feel as though I am really going to enjoy my time at my new school. I only hope that my new friends feel the same way too.

A snowboarder was feeling lucky to be alive yesterday after a helicopter rescue (直升机营救).
Ben Akintola, 30, was snowboarding in the French Alps under a clear blue sky in the afternoon when a large amount (数量) of snow fell down the side of the mountain. He didn't have time to escape (逃脱) and it hit him with full force and knocked him senseless.
He woke in the middle of the night in total darkness. He was lying on an icy rock. Amazingly, he still had a mobile phone signal (信号), so he called a friend a thousand kilometers away in Britain. His friend called the French rescue services.
“I was waiting for what seemed like hours on that rock. I was beginning to give up hope when I heard the sound of a helicopter. It was circling around in the darkness, looking for me. I was trying my best to wave my mobile around. Fortunately the helicopter pilot saw the light.
“I was overjoyed when the helicopter headed my way. It stayed above me and began lowering a rope.”
Ben was in hospital last night but he was not being treated for any serious injuries. He's looking forward to going home today.
The French rescue services said:?“We were very pleased that we were able to save Ben. The risk of snowslide off-piste (非滑雪场地的) is much higher at this time of year. All snowboarders and skiers should stay on the ski runs and not go off-piste. Ben was very lucky.”
29. What happened to Ben?
A. He got lost in the French Alps.
B. He had a snowboarding accident.???
C. He was separated from his friends.???
D. He was knocked down by falling rocks.??

D. It was a little discouraging.

A. A Lucky Escape
B. A Rocky Mountain
C. Risks of Snowboarding
D. French Rescue Services
[D]
Kenya's long-distance runners are among the best in the world. Is their food and daily routine (常规) a key to the secret of their success? We spent a week at a training camp with ten top athletes (运动员) to find out. This is what we discovered.
They eat five times a day:
08:00????? Breakfast
10:00????? Mid-morning snack
13:00????? Lunch
16:00????? Afternoon snack
19:00????? Supper
The Kenyan runners' food is based on bread, rice, potatoes, porridge, cabbage, beans and ugali (balls of cornmeal). Ugali is usually eaten with vegetables.
Meat is eaten in fairly small amounts, just four times a week. The athletes drink a lot of tea with milk and sugar. They get all the vitamins (维生素) they need from their food?—?they never take vitamin pills.
They usually train as a group twice a day. The first run is at 6 o'clock in the morning and the afternoon run is at 5 o'clock. They run 10 to 15 kilometres in the morning and 6 to 8 kilometres in the afternoon. Once a week, the two 1,500-metre runners in the group run shorter distances at higher speeds.
An amazing part of the Kenyan food is its richness in carbohydrates (碳水化合物). Every 24 hours, they have about 600 grams of carbohydrates to give them energy for their training. They only eat a little fat, most of it coming from the milk they have in their tea. They drink about a litre (升) of water every day. Surprisingly, they drink more than a litre of tea every day, too. They always eat soon after training.
Rest and sleep are also an important part of the athletes' programme. They are always in bed early and they always get a good night's sleep.
33. Why did the author go to the training camp?
A. To improve his running.
B. To report who are the best runners.
C. To learn from the athletes' good habits.
D. To find out why the athletes do so well.
34. What do we know about the first group run of the day?
A. It starts at midmorning.
B. It happens before breakfast.
C. It is shorter than the second run.
D. It is led by two 1,500-metre runners.
35. What surprised the author about the athletes?
A. They drink a lot of tea.??
B. They eat five times a day.?
C. They never take vitamin pills.??
D. They take in a lot of milk and sugar.
第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Be at your best!
What does your brain need to work well? Here are some things it needs.
Good food
Experts say that breakfast is much more important than any other meal.??36?. So don't miss breakfast — especially before an exam! But you need to eat a good breakfast — junk food won't work.
A regular supply of energy
Your brain needs a regular supply of energy, so you need to eat carbohydrates. They're found in bread, rice, pasta and beans.??37?. They work more quickly than bread and rice, so they give you a short burst (爆发) of energy, but afterwards you feel more tired.
A continuous supply of oxygen?(氧气)
Your brain needs oxygen, which it gets from exercise.??38?. You also need a good supply of iron because iron helps your blood to carry oxygen round your body.
Water
?39?. Not getting enough water will stop your brain from working well. And remember, water isn't as expensive as sweet drinks!
?40?
Your brain needs several hours' sleep, so it can ‘update' itself, just like a computer. Experts say that when you study for a test or an exam, you should get some sleep as quickly as possible after you've finished studying. This helps you to remember what you've learnt.
A. A short break
B. A good night's sleep
C. It works best in the morning
D. Exercise improves your memory too
E. Water is much better than sweet drinks
F. Your brain works better when you have eaten
G. Chocolate, biscuits and sweets are not good for your brain

选做题
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。
Josh Katz works at the?New York Times. His job is to use information to tell interesting stories. In December 2013, Katz built a quiz (测试) on the?Times?website. It asked people about the words they use to describe things and events. It also asked how they pronounced common words. The quiz then used people's answers to decide where in the?United States?they were from.
The quiz got more than 350,000 results. Katz turned the results into a book. In?Speaking American, he studies regional (区域的) differences in how Americans talk.
“A lot of people's language shows who they are and where they're from, in a very personal way,” Katz said.
Katz says people are often surprised to learn that the way they talk can show where they grew up. Most Americans don't realize they use regionalisms — or words and phrases specific to a particular part of the country. But just about everyone does. Almost every major U.S. city has a few unique (独一无二的) terms. For example, in?Philadelphia,?Pennsylvania, the night before Halloween is known as Mischief Night. Anyone who calls it that is likely to be connected to the city.
?????? Katz himself was?taken aback?by how many common words are regional. “There are a lot of words I use that I just thought were standard words,” he says. “Then I found out some of these words were actually a product of my upbringing.”
For example, he says,“I thought everyone said?‘sneakers’?(运动鞋) and not‘tennis shoes’.”?But it turns out?‘sneakers' is connected mostly to the Northeast. That's where Katz is from.
Some scholars think that language in the U.S. is growing more homogeneous (同类的). But Katz disagrees.“These regional differences are here to stay,”he says.
Not only are people still using common regionalisms, but there are new ones appearing all the time, according to Katz. There's no way to predict how language will change in the future. But Katz sees more change coming. “The only sure thing about language is that it's going to keep moving,” he says.
1. What's the purpose of the quiz?
A. To test people on common knowledge.
B. To find out what words are mostly used.??
C. To help people learn about their hometown better.
D. To see whether people's language shows their backgrounds.
2. How do most Americans look at their using regionalisms???
A. They are proud of it.
B. They do it unintentionally.
C. They find it quite interesting.
D. They have no idea why everybody does it.
3. What does the underlined part “taken aback” in?Para. 5 mean?
A. Bored.????????????????????
B. Worried.???
C. Surprised.????????
D. Excited.
4. Katz mentions “sneakers” mainly to show _____.
A. it's different from “tennis shoes”
B. it's an example of a standard word
C. his hometown is possibly the birthplace of it
D. many common words come from a specific area
5. What is Katz's opinion on regional differences?
A. They will remain a part of people's everyday life.
B. They prevent language from being homogeneous.
C. They have a bad influence on people's life.
D. They will finally disappear in the future.

Dear Tom,
Glad to hear from you.?I’d like to share my first day at senior high with you.
What impressed me most was our English teacher. When she entered our classroom, she said “Good morning, dear schoolmates!”, which made us puzzled. I thought it was because she was too nervous. However, she told us she had graduated from our school. She greeted us in such a way that we all felt relaxed. Then she let us introduce ourselves one by one. Some students were embarrassed at first but everyone was very friendly. I’m now excited to be starting a new life.
What about your high school life? I’m looking forward to receiving your reply.
????????????????????????????????????????? ??Yours,
Li Hua

57. A。根据首段中的sitting alone以及Elizabeth拒绝和别人一起吃饭、玩耍可知，她在伤心时想“独自（alone）”一个人呆着。
58. B。根据作者接下来说的I don't always know ... I'm feeling down可知，作者非常“明白（get）”Elizabeth的心情。
59. D。上文Elizabeth谈到她在伤心时的做法，由此可知，作者在此表示她并不知道自己在难过时该怎么办，因此填deal with。
60. C。根据语境可知，作者“希望（hope）”Elizabeth的祖父赶快好起来。
语法填空：
61. what。考查连接词。设空处引导宾语从句，且在从句中作wear的宾语，故填what。
62. got。考查一般过去时。作者在回忆过去，所以文章时态应该为一般过去时，故填got。
63. when。考查关系副词。根据语境可知，设空处引导非限制性定语从句补充说明last year，且在从句中作时间状语，故填when。
64. to feel。考查不定式作补语的用法。want sb. to do sth.意为“想要某人做某事”，故填to feel。
65. his。考查代词。设空处后为名词，用物主代词，故填his。

参考答案
1-5 DBCDA
解析
阅读理解：
话题：社会
本文是说明文。调查发现，很多通用词汇其实具有明显的地方色彩。
1. D。推理判断题。根据首段末句The quiz then used people's answers to decide where in the United States they were from可知，该测验是为了研究人们所说的语言和他们的身份背景之间的关系。
2. B。细节理解题。根据第四段中的Most Americans don't realize they use regionalisms可知，绝大多数美国人对于自己在使用一些地方色彩的语言浑然不知。
3. C。词义猜测题。根据Katz接下来说的There are a lot of words I use that I just thought were standard words和Then I found out some of these words were actually a product of my upbringing可知，他对划线词后的how many common words are regional是感到非常吃惊的。
4. D。推理判断题。Katz在第六段中的举例是为了说明他在第五段中陈述的观点：有很多常见的单词实际上也是有地方色彩的。
5. A。推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的内容可知，有些学者认为语言在美国会倾向于同类化，然而Katz不同意这种观点，并提出自己的观点：These regional differences are here to stay。由此可知，他认为这种地方差异会一直存在。末段中的Not only are people still using common regionalisms, but there are new ones appearing all the time, according to Katz也再次说明了他的这一观点。

Like any new ninth-grader on the first day of school, Joemar Class had ninth-grader emotion (情绪). He’s not used to school in Hartford. He’s used to going to school in his hometown of Florida, used to seeing his friends, used to having class in Spanish.
“Nervioso,” he said in Spanish.
We first met Joemar in mid-October in the San Juan Airport. His father, Guillermo Class,?had sold his car to buy plane tickets to get his kids and fly them up from Puerto Rico. The island was almost destroyed (毁坏) by the deadly storm?—?Hurricane Maria.
Now, they are settling into (迁入) their new home in Hartford’s South End. A week later, and, using his wife’s car, Class drove 16-year-old Joemar to his first day at Bulkeley High School.

“I see you have a new uniform (校服),”?Levitz said.?“You look great. Are you ready for a good first day?”
Then he met a couple of teachers.
“Hello,” they each said in Spanish. They asked where he’s from, and told him they were happy to see him. Then, Levitz took him on a quick tour of the school before classes began — to her office, the school store, the library, and the dining hall.
A total of 19 languages are spoken in Bulkeley High School. “We have so many new students coming here from other countries every single day,” Levitz said. “So it’s not like he’s the only one who has that feeling.”
“You could tell he’s a little worried,” Guillermo said as we left. “But, at the same time, he’s looking forward to it.”

Back to the land
In his early forties, Peter Van Der Groot was a successful salesman. He had a large beautiful home. But Peter worked long hours, and he saw little of his home and family. He enjoyed his job, but he was never there to see his children growing up. Then last year, the firm (公司) he worked for closed down, and, unexpectedly, Peter had the chance to do something different.

Now they live in Italy, where they’ve bought a farmhouse in Tuscan Hills.?“We’re going to offer bed and breakfast,”?said Rob.?“We’ve never had our own business before, so it’ll be quite a challenge (挑战).

“In this first three-month period, we’re settling in and repairing the farmhouse,”?said Manda.?“Then we’ll open our doors to guests.”?Bed and breakfast will not be the only way for them to get money, though.?“The farm has got olive (橄榄) trees and the equipment (设备) for producing olive oil.”

D
Researchers in Australia, who studied 1,500 people and their lifestyles, have found that having good friends can help you live longer. An American study of 10,000 students, over a period of 35 years, also found that if you make more friends than the average (普通的) person at school, you’ll receive a higher salary (工资) in later life. People need good social skills at work to manage people and work in a team successfully. These are the same skills we use to make friends at school.
On average, teenagers aged between 15 and 17 have 500?“friends”?on their favourite social networking site. Adults (成年人) have 130. So if you believe this research, you might live for a long time and be very rich.
However, according to Professor Robin Dunbar from the University of Oxford, it probably won’t make any difference. Dunbar studied the number of messages between users of a popular social networking website, each of whom had between 200 and 2,000 friends. He found that they always communicate with a maximum (最大量) of 150 people.
Among these 150, Dunbar believes that around five people are close friends. You’ve most likely known them for a long time; they are probably old friends and you share all your good and bad experiences with them. Then there are ten more friends. Although they’re close to you, you may not keep in touch with them every week. Next there are 35 people who you might spend time with because of a shared interest. You aren’t close. And finally, there’s a large group of 100. You see or speak to these people at least once a year, but you don’t know them well. Beyond (超过)?this number, Dunbar says, it’s impossible to make any relationship meaningful.
If you have a lot of online “friends”, try this experiment: First take away anyone you haven’t been in touch with for a year. Then remove people you can’t remember and, finally, take away friends who you wouldn’t mind losing touch with. How many do you have left? How many of these people are actually good friends? According to the research, these are the only people that really matter.
32. What are the studies mentioned in the first paragraph mainly about?
A. The number of friends you should have.
B. The advantages of having a lot of friends.
C. Some social skills you may need at work.
D. Some useful advice on how to make friends.
33. According to the American study, the most popular students at school _____.
A. are likely to spend more money
B. may not be as popular at work
C. seem to get better-paid jobs
D. will work harder in later years
34. What does the underlined part “this number” in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A. 10.?????????????????????????B. 35.????????????
C. 100.????????????????? D. 150.
35. What does the text mainly want to show?
A. You need to spend more time with your friends.
B. There is a lot of research on the influence of friends.
C. Friends are sometimes more important than family.
D. It’s more important to have good friends than lots of friends.
