位于中国西南边陲的云南省,幅员辽阔,资源丰富,也是少数民族聚集区。下面让我们一起领略它的独特边疆风貌吧。
Yunnan
Yunnan is situated on a plateau in southwest China.“Yunnan” in Chinese means “south of the clouds”. The people of Yunnan are proud of living on this blessed land. People like to call Yunnan the province of “perpetual(永久的) spring”. Because of its abundant(丰富的) natural resources,Yunnan enjoys the reputation of the “kingdom of flora and fauna”, “kingdom of medicinal herbs”,“natural garden”,“hometown of perfumes”,“hometown of animal fossils” and is a popular area for tourism(旅游业).
The Stone Forest is known as “One of Earth’s Natural Wonders”.All visitors to Kunming from home and abroad never hesitate to come here to admire the unique scenes formed by the stones.
Dali, a historically and culturally famous city of China, is famous for her historical interest. During
the Tang and Song Dynasties,it was the capital of Nanzhao and Dali Kingdoms,the political,economic and cultural centre of Yunnan,an important gateway(门户) of cultural exchange and trading with south-eastern Asian countries,and an important pass of the ancient “Silk Route of the South”.
Situated in the northwest plateau,Lijiang (the Beautiful River) got its name from its position at the middle reaches of the beautiful Jinsha River.Scattered(分散) on an area of 7,648 square kilometers,the population is made up of the Naxi,Bai,Lisu,Pumi,Yi,Miao minority groups. Affected by the plateau wind from South Asia,Lijiang has two distinctive(有特色的) seasons,the dry and the wet. The temperature range of the four seasons is narrow. The annual mean temperature ranges from 12.6 ℃ to 9.9 ℃.Called Naxi ancient music as“Chinese classical music live fossil”, the only “alive”Dongba glyph(字形) in the world,Yulong Xueshan Mountain...all this make Lijiang being the hot tour spot.

One day a farmer came to a wise man. He sat in front of the wise man, who gave him a warm smile. The farmer breathed out heavily and sighed sadly. He began complaining about his life. He said he didn’t see bright daylight at all. He told the wise man that one problem fell on his head right after another and that he couldn’t even breathe in some fresh air. Later, he began blaming(指责) all of his relatives, who, in his opinion, caused his problems.
The wise man listened to him in silence. And when the farmer once again asked the wise man why it was so unfair, what he should do and how to find peace, the wise man got up from his seat and asked the farmer to follow him.
They came out and went to the lakeside, which was not far away. From time to time, flying fishes were jumping out of the water, moving fast above the surface, and catching food.
The wise man said to the farmer,“Do you see the smoothness of the lake? In fact, the lake is full of life. There are fishes that always stay in water, and if suddenly the lake got polluted, they couldn’t see further their own nose, they would hardly recognize where the source of the pollution was, and they would keep swimming in circles. But there are also fishes that can rise above the water of the lake, looking at it from the height of their flight. So this is my advice: instead of complaining about your life, come to this lakeside from time to time, watch the flying fishes and try to understand what I want to say to you.”

Bats(蝙蝠) often appear in movies and literature as frightening creatures. The animals have even been linked in some cultures to vampires(吸血鬼), seeking to attack humans and drink the blood of them. In reality, bats are usually not harmful to people. They can do good things for people and the environment. For example, bats eat a lot of different insects that can harm our environment. They can also spread seeds.
But a serious disease is currently threatening the bat population in many parts of the United States. The disease is called white-nose syndrome(白鼻综合征). It has killed more than 6 million bats across the United States since 2007.Bats catch the disease through their skin while resting on the walls of mountain caves. Biologist Lindsay Rohrbaugh says that the disease spreads quickly and can lead to strange behavior in bats.
In Washington D.C.,researchers are studying how white-nose syndrome is affecting the area’s nine species of bats. Some scientists are trapping bats on an island in the middle of the Anacostia River to test for the disease. The group is receiving money to help carry out their studies. Marco Carvello is with the Washington D.C. Government’s Department of Energy and Environment.“Scientists are concerned that the disease is continuing to greatly reduce the bat population. The bat deaths are affecting the quality of human life in many ways. Without bats,there is an increase of many insects. And that’s only going to get worse over time if some ways can’t be found,” he said.
One theory is that some bats are no longer returning to caves to avoid getting sick.This means more of them are now making their way into cities, where contact with humans is more likely. Experts advise people to keep away from bats in case they have the disease. And animal control officers should safely remove the animals.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。美国部分地区的蝙蝠正遭受白鼻综合征的危害而数量减少,这也将严重影响到人类。作者呼吁应采取措施控制该疾病的传染速度。
5.According to Paragraph 1, people tend to think bats ________.
A.should be protected
B.can help spread seeds
C.do harm to human beings
D.may damage the environment
C 解析:推理判断题。根据第一段的The animals have even been linked in some cultures to vampires(吸血鬼), seeking to attack humans and drink the blood of them. In reality, bats are usually not harmful to people.可判断,人们一般认为蝙蝠是会对人类有害的。
6.What can we learn about white-nose syndrome in Paragraph 2?
A.Many bats have died of it in America.
B.It is spreading fast in the world.
C.Nobody knows how bats get it.
D.It is threatening many animals.
A 解析:细节理解题。根据第二段的It has killed more than 6 million bats across the United States since 2007.可知,美国的很多蝙蝠死于白鼻综合征。
7.Which of the following might Marco Carvello agree with?
A.The disease has led to people’s strange behavior.
B.The disease may cause the disappearance of bats.
C.The government should control the spread of the disease.
D.The decrease in the bat population can greatly affect humans’ life.
D 解析:观点态度题。根据第三段的The bat deaths are affecting the quality of human life in many ways. Without bats, there is an increase of many insects. And that’s only going to get worse over time if some ways can’t be found.可知,蝙蝠数量的减少会严重影响到人类。
8.What does the author mainly tell us in the passage?
A.A bat species is decreasing in number.
B.We have found ways to protect bats.
C.A disease causes many deaths of bats.
D.We should have a high opinion of bats.
C 解析:主旨大意题。根据全文内容可知,本文主要讲白鼻综合征在蝙蝠中传播,使美国蝙蝠数量减少,这也将严重影响到人类。

One day a farmer came to a wise man. He sat in front of the wise man, who gave him a warm smile. The farmer breathed out heavily and sighed sadly. He began complaining about his life. He said he didn’t see bright daylight at all. He told the wise man that one problem fell on his head right after another and that he couldn’t even breathe in some fresh air. Later, he began blaming(指责) all of his relatives, who, in his opinion, caused his problems.
The wise man listened to him in silence. And when the farmer once again asked the wise man why it was so unfair, what he should do and how to find peace, the wise man got up from his seat and asked the farmer to follow him.
They came out and went to the lakeside, which was not far away. From time to time, flying fishes were jumping out of the water, moving fast above the surface, and catching food.
The wise man said to the farmer,“Do you see the smoothness of the lake? In fact, the lake is full of life. There are fishes that always stay in water, and if suddenly the lake got polluted, they couldn’t see further their own nose, they would hardly recognize where the source of the pollution was, and they would keep swimming in circles. But there are also fishes that can rise above the water of the lake, looking at it from the height of their flight. So this is my advice: instead of complaining about your life, come to this lakeside from time to time, watch the flying fishes and try to understand what I want to say to you.”

Bats(蝙蝠) often appear in movies and literature as frightening creatures. The animals have even been linked in some cultures to vampires(吸血鬼), seeking to attack humans and drink the blood of them. In reality, bats are usually not harmful to people. They can do good things for people and the environment. For example, bats eat a lot of different insects that can harm our environment. They can also spread seeds.
But a serious disease is currently threatening the bat population in many parts of the United States. The disease is called white-nose syndrome(白鼻综合征). It has killed more than 6 million bats across the United States since 2007.Bats catch the disease through their skin while resting on the walls of mountain caves. Biologist Lindsay Rohrbaugh says that the disease spreads quickly and can lead to strange behavior in bats.
In Washington D.C.,researchers are studying how white-nose syndrome is affecting the area’s nine species of bats. Some scientists are trapping bats on an island in the middle of the Anacostia River to test for the disease. The group is receiving money to help carry out their studies. Marco Carvello is with the Washington D.C. Government’s Department of Energy and Environment.“Scientists are concerned that the disease is continuing to greatly reduce the bat population. The bat deaths are affecting the quality of human life in many ways. Without bats,there is an increase of many insects. And that’s only going to get worse over time if some ways can’t be found,” he said.
One theory is that some bats are no longer returning to caves to avoid getting sick.This means more of them are now making their way into cities, where contact with humans is more likely. Experts advise people to keep away from bats in case they have the disease. And animal control officers should safely remove the animals.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。美国部分地区的蝙蝠正遭受白鼻综合征的危害而数量减少,这也将严重影响到人类。作者呼吁应采取措施控制该疾病的传染速度。
5.According to Paragraph 1, people tend to think bats ________.
A.should be protected
B.can help spread seeds
C.do harm to human beings
D.may damage the environment

6.What can we learn about white-nose syndrome in Paragraph 2?
A.Many bats have died of it in America.
B.It is spreading fast in the world.
C.Nobody knows how bats get it.
D.It is threatening many animals.
A 解析:细节理解题。根据第二段的It has killed more than 6 million bats across the United States since 2007.可知,美国的很多蝙蝠死于白鼻综合征。
7.Which of the following might Marco Carvello agree with?
A.The disease has led to people’s strange behavior.
B.The disease may cause the disappearance of bats.
C.The government should control the spread of the disease.
D.The decrease in the bat population can greatly affect humans’ life.
D 解析:观点态度题。根据第三段的The bat deaths are affecting the quality of human life in many ways. Without bats, there is an increase of many insects. And that’s only going to get worse over time if some ways can’t be found.可知,蝙蝠数量的减少会严重影响到人类。
8.What does the author mainly tell us in the passage?
A.A bat species is decreasing in number.
B.We have found ways to protect bats.
C.A disease causes many deaths of bats.

It was the end of the school term and my son Tom had less than three months left before he would finish his six years at high school.During that time he developed a love for basketball. Sadly, because of my work over the last twelve months, I had only been able to attend a few of his games; however, I was determined to get to his last game for the school term.
Tom’s team led by just over 20 points at the end of the first half. The second half changed as the other team quickly came back. Tom’s team started to miss an increasing number of shots. It was at that point that the coach called his first timeout.
The spectators(观众) became quiet as the coach spoke to them. He had the team standing in a half circle, but he squatted (蹲) down, looking up at them and giving some very clear instructions on what they needed to do in the last couple of minutes. As he stood up to allow the team to return to the court, I saw he gave some further words of encouragement to all of them.
You could see that he knew that the team was fighting to save the game and that he needed to lift their spirits. By squatting down he placed himself in a position where he was talking up to them, rather than down or at them, and as the players went back onto the court his words of encouragement served to lift their energy and spirits.
Well, Tom’s team went on to win the final by 5 points. As I drove away I thought about what can happen to us all in our everyday life. One of my favourite quotes is about the half-filled glass of water —“Is the glass half empty or half full?”Like the coach, the answer to this quote all depends on how you look at things.

If you want to stay young, sit down and have a good think. This is the research finding of a team of Japanese doctors, who say that most of our brains are not getting enough exercise and, as a result, we are growing old unnecessarily soon.
Professor Taiju Matsuzawa wanted to find out why quite healthy farmers in northern Japan appeared to be losing their ability to think and reason at a rather early age, and how the speed of getting old could be slowed down.
With a team of researchers at Tokyo National University, he set about measuring brain volumes (脑量) of a thousand people of different ages with different jobs. Computer technology helped the researchers to get most exact measurements of the volume of the front and side parts of the brain, which have something to do with intellect and feelings, and decide the human character. As we all know, the back part of the brain, which controls the tasks like eating and breathing, does not contract (萎缩) with age.
Contraction of front and side parts—as cells die off—was seen in some people in their thirties, but it was still not found in some sixty and seventy-year-olds.
Matsuzawa concluded from his tests that there is a simple way to prevent the contraction — using the head.
The findings show that contraction of the brain begins sooner in people in the country than in the towns.“Those with least possibility,”says Matsuzawa,“are lawyers, followed by university professors and doctors. White collar workers doing the same work day after day in government offices are, however, as possible to have contracting brains as the farm workers, bus drivers and shop assistants.”
【解题导语】 文章介绍了一项研究的发现:不经常用脑的人的大脑比经常用脑的人要萎缩得早。所以要想保持大脑的年轻,就要多使用大脑。
5.The team of doctors wanted to find out ________.
A.at what point people grow mentally old

C.the size of certain people’s brains
D.which people are the most clever
A 解析:细节理解题。由第二段可知,这项调查是想弄清楚为什么人会在精神上变老,A项符合题意。
6.Their research findings are based on ________.
A.an examination of farmers in northern Japan
B.tests given on a thousand old people
C.examining the brain volumes of different people
D.using computer technology
C 解析:细节理解题。由第三段第一句“With a team of... with different jobs.”可知,这项研究是建立在对1 000个人的脑量的检测的基础之上的。
7.The researchers’ tests show that ________.
A.our brains contract as we grow older
B.one part of the brain does not contract
C.sixty-year-olds have better brains than thirty-year-olds
D.some people’s brains have contracted earlier than other people’s
D 解析:细节理解题。由第四段的句子“Contraction of front and side parts—as cells die off — was seen in some people in their thirties...”可知,有的人的大脑萎缩得比其他人早。
8.The most possible conclusion of the passage is that ________.
A.most of us take more exercise
B.it’s better to live in the town
C.the brain contracts if it is not used
D.the more one uses his brain, the sooner he becomes old
C 解析:推理判断题。由倒数第二段的句子“Matsuzawa concluded from his tests that there is a simple way to prevent the contraction—using the head.”可推知,人的大脑不经常使用会萎缩。

Section Ⅲ Using language & Writing
定语从句(3)
当关系代词在定语从句中作介词的宾语时,我们通常用“介词+关系代词”引导定语从句。如果指“人”,用“介词+whom”;如果指“物”,用“介词+which”。
(1) 在介词后作宾语的关系代词一般只能用which 和whom,不用that和who。
(2) 但是当介词放在后面时,在限制性定语从句中,可用that代替which/whom,并且that可省略。
(3) 在定语从句中,有一些含介词的动词短语不可拆开使用(短语拆开后含义发生变化),如look after, look for等。
◆The babies whom the nurses are looking after are very healthy.(正)
◆The babies after whom the nurses are looking are very healthy.(误)
关系代词前介词选择的原则
1.根据定语从句中的谓语动词或形容词和介词的搭配关系选择
◆Yesterday we visited the West Lake for which Hangzhou is famous.
昨天我们参观了西湖,杭州因其而出名。
2.根据定语从句中介词与先行词的搭配关系选择
◆The old woman with whom you talked just now is a famous artist.
刚才和你们说话的老太太是一个著名的艺术家。
3.根据句子的意思来选择
◆My computer,without which I can’t surf the Internet,broke down yesterday.
昨天我的电脑坏了,没有它我不能网上冲浪。
“介词+关系代词”的几种常见结构
1.“介词+which”在定语从句中分别可作时间、地点和原因状语,代替相应的关系副词when, where和why。
◆I’ll never forget the day on which(=when) she said goodbye to me.
我永远不会忘记她与我们告别的那一天。
◆The house in which(=where)we live is not large.
我们住的房子不是很大。
◆This is the reason for which(=why) he was put in prison.
这就是他坐牢的原因。
2.“代词/数词+of+which/whom”引导非限制性定语从句
这个结构中,代词常常为all, each, one, many, much, most, some, none, both等,“代词+of+which/whom”通常在定语从句中作主语,说明整体中的一部分。有时候也可把“of+which/whom”置于代词或数词前。
◆I have ten books, half of which were written by Mo Yan.
我有10本书,其中一半是莫言写的。
◆The old man has two sons,both of whom are lawyers.

I started using Facebook about one year ago and I really loved it. I could get the latest information about my friends through it. However, after using it for some time, I found something very disappointing.
It started about half a year ago. One day, while I was reading something that my friend Lisa posted, I found she was lying. She said she had won the first prize in a contest (竞赛). But the truth was that she only got the third prize. After she posted that on Facebook, many people said how great she was. I said nothing. I just felt disappointed.
But that was not the end of the story. Some days later, I found she told lies again. And her lies went on and on. She kept posting something she hadn’t done, such as buying an expensive gift for her mother, helping a stranger, keeping a homeless dog, and so on. And even worse, others followed her example. I knew why they did that. They felt envy (忌妒) of Lisa.
You may find it funny. But in fact Facebook envy is nothing to laugh about. Researchers found that those who envy others on Facebook are more likely to suffer from depression (抑郁症).
In my opinion, Facebook should just be used to talk with friends and families. We shouldn’t lie to others just in order to make others think we’re great. If we lie, others will lie, too. And in the end, everyone will lie on Facebook. So tell the truth on Facebook. It can help others really know about you.
【解题导语】 作者发现她的朋友 Lisa 经常在Facebook 上撒谎,她对此感到很失望。更糟的是,很多人因为妒忌 Lisa 也开始撒谎。所以作者建议人们在Facebook上实话实说。
1.After the author started using Facebook, she ________.
A.often lied on it
B.found it helpful at first
C.made a lot of friends on it
D.found it disappointing at once
B 解析:细节理解题。根据文章第一段的内容可知,当作者一开始使用Facebook 时,她能通过Facebook获得好友的信息,这让作者觉得Facebook很有用。
2.What made the author disappointed?
A.Feeling envy of Lisa.
B.Not getting the first prize.
C.Lisa’s lying about herself.
D.Having nothing great to post.
C 解析:细节理解题。根据文章第二段的内容可知,不久作者发现她的好友Lisa在Facebook上撒谎,这让作者很失望。
3.By saying“others followed her example”,the author means others ________.
A.did something great too
B.started to use Facebook
C.started to envy Lisa
D.started telling lies on Facebook
D 解析:推理判断题。根据文章第三段的内容可知,Lisa的谎言越来越多,多数都是在炫耀自己,而她的炫耀导致了更糟的事情:因为妒忌她所说的那些虚假的东西,其他人也开始撒谎,由此可知“others followed her example”指的是其他人也开始在Facebook上撒谎。
4.What does the author think people should do on Facebook?
A.Keep honest.
B.Make true friends.
C.Make themselves great.
D.Help others correct their mistakes.
A 解析:细节理解题。根据末段的内容可知,作者认为人们在Facebook上应该实话实说,这样才能让别人真正了解自己。
语法填空

【解题导语】 作者虽然残疾,但通过自己的努力获得了成功,他的事迹告诉我们:有志者,事竟成。
1.disability 解析:考查名词。根据下文的in a special school可知,作者身患残疾,故此处填disable的名词形式作从句的主语。
2.truly 解析:考查副词。这里用副词修饰形容词happy,故填truly。
3.was placed 解析:考查动词的时态和语态。语境表明此处用一般过去时;句中主语I是动词的承受者,所以用一般过去时的被动语态。
4.who/that 解析:考查关系代词。根据句子结构可知,定语从句的先行词为children,且在从句中作主语,所以用关系代词who或that。
5.trying 解析:考查非谓语动词。try和句子的逻辑主语I之间是主动关系,故用现在分词trying。
6.of/at 解析:考查介词。of/at my age意为“和我同岁”。
7.It 解析:考查代词。此处用it指代前面提到的尝试和其他同龄人一样享受生活这件事。
8.understood 解析:考查动词的时态。and连接并列成分,前面是一般过去时,因此后面也用一般过去时。
9.successful 解析:考查形容词。空格处用形容词修饰名词business, succeed的形容词形式为successful。
10.to realize 解析:考查非谓语动词。teach sb.to do sth.意为“教某人做某事”。

One weekend in July, Jane and her husband, Tom,__had driven three hours to camp overnight by a lake in the forest. Unfortunately, on the way an unpleasant subject came up and they started to quarrel. By the time they reached the lake, Jane was so angry that she said to Tom,“I’m going to find a better spot for us to camp”and walked away.
With no path to follow, Jane just walked on for quite a long time. After she had climbed to a high place, she turned around, hoping to see the lake. To her surprise, she saw nothing but forest and, far beyond, a snow-capped mountain top. She suddenly realized that she was lost.
“Tom!”she cried.“Help!”
No reply. If only she had not left her mobile phone in that bag with Tom. Jane kept moving, but the farther she walked, the more confused she became. As night was beginning to fall, Jane was so tired that she had to stop for the night. Lying awake in the dark, Jane wanted very much to be with Tom and her family. She wanted to hold him and tell him how much she loved him.
Jane rose at the break of day, hungry and thirsty. She could hear water trickling(滴落) somewhere at__a__distance. Quickly she followed the sound to a stream. To__her__great__joy,__ she also saw some berry bushes. She drank and ate a few berries. Never in her life had she tasted anything better. Feeling stronger now, Jane began to walk along the stream and hope it would lead her to the lake.
As she picked her way carefully along the stream, Jane heard a helicopter. Is that for me? Unfortunately, the trees made it impossible for people to see her from above. A few minutes later, another helicopter flew overhead. Jane took off her yellow__blouse,__ thinking that she should go to an open area and flag them if they came back again.

Coffee is an important part of Italian culture and since arriving here over six months ago, I have drunk a lot of it!
Of course, coffee is also very popular in the UK but coffee culture in Italy is a completely different story. In Italy, when you order a coffee in a café or bar(酒吧), you are served with a tiny, bitter espresso. This is “normal(正常的) coffee” for Italians and they are not so interested in the huge coffees that we drink in the UK. If you want more than one sip(小口) of coffee in Italy, lungo is a good choice. It is espresso with a little more water added, but still served in a small cup. In addition, while takeaway coffee is quite popular among Brits, it is not very common at all in Italy, especially in non-touristy areas. Generally, Italians prefer to drink their tiny coffees while standing at the bar and, for many, this short break is an important part of their day.
Usually, breakfast in a bar in Italy includes a coffee and a pastry(酥皮糕点). I have been spoiled for choice with lovely cafés in the Italian town I’m living in. These cafés sell different kinds of mouth-watering pastries—either plain(无馅料的) or filled with cream, chocolate, etc.—as well as delicious coffee. Cappuccinos are very popular at breakfast time and, for me, a creamy cappuccino and a pastry with chocolate is the perfect way to start the day.
Finally, I have found that coffee in Italy is so much cheaper than coffee in the UK. Normally, an espresso or a macchiato (an espresso with a drop of milk) costs around a euro and a cappuccino about 1.50!They are small, of course, but this means that in Italy it is possible to go out for coffee every day without breaking the bank.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了意大利的咖啡文化。
1.How is Paragraph 2 mainly developed?
A.By time. B.By space.
C.By example. D.By comparison.
D 解析:推理判断题。第二段通过与英国的咖啡文化对比,介绍了意大利的咖啡文化。
2.Which coffee will you get in Italy if you order one without special instructions?
A.Espresso. B.Lungo.
C.Cappuccino. D.Macchiato.
A 解析:细节理解题。由第二段中的In Italy, when you order a coffee...“normal(正常的) coffee” for Italians可知,在意大利咖啡馆或酒吧点一杯咖啡时,服务员上的是espresso, 这种咖啡对意大利人来说是正常咖啡。
3.What can we learn about the coffee culture in Italy?
A.Takeaway coffee is very popular among Italians.
B.Italians are very often seen drinking huge coffees.
C.Italians like to take short breaks from work for coffee.
D.Coffees are often served along with pastries during breakfasts.
D 解析:细节理解题。由第三段中的Usually, breakfast in a bar in Italy includes a coffee and a pastry(酥皮糕点)可知,在意大利,人们的早餐通常包含一杯咖啡和一份酥皮糕点。
4.What does the author think of Italian coffee?
A.She loves its bitter taste.
B.It is too expensive for her.
C.It is a good choice for breakfast.
D.The cup it is served in is too small.
C 解析:细节理解题。由第三段中的for me, a creamy cappuccino...perfect way to start the day可知,作者认为咖啡是早餐的上好选择。

Some educators told us that more years of school could help students get higher scores on intelligence tests.That was a finding of a study of teenage males in some countries.Now,another research shows that physical activity may help students do better in their classes.
The research comes as educators in some countries are reducing time for activities like physical education.They are using the time instead for academic(学术的) subjects like math and reading.The studies appeared between 2008 and 2014.They included more than 55,000 children,aged 6 to 18.
Amika Singh said “According to the results of our study,we can conclude that being physically active is beneficial for academic performance.There are,first,physiological explanations, like more blood flow, and so more oxygen to the brain.Being physically active means there are more hormones(荷尔蒙) produced like endorphins(内啡肽).And endorphins make your stress level lower and your mood improved, which means you also perform better.”
Also,students taking part in organized sports learn rules and how to follow them.This could improve their classroom behaviour and help them keep their mind on their work.
The study leaves some questions unanswered,however.Ms Stash says it is not possible to say whether the amount or kind of activity affected the level of academic improvement.This is because of differences among the studies.
The researchers said they found only two high-quality studies.They needed more high-quality studies to confirm(证实) their findings.They also pointed out that “results__for__other__parts__of__the__world__may__be__quite__different”.
Still, the general finding was that physically active kids are more likely to do better in school.Ms Singh says schools should consider that finding before they cut physical education programs.Her paper on“Physical Activity and Performance at School”is published in the Archives of Pediatric and Adolescent Medicine.
【解题导语】 本文介绍了一项新的研究发现:体育活动对学生的学习有益。作者呼吁我们要重视体育教育。
9.The passage mainly tells us that ________.
A.a research on physical education has been done by the researchers
B.there is a possibility that physical activity leads to higher grades
C.the amount or kind of activity directly affects academic level
D.the research shows that the children aged 6 to 18 don’t do sports
B 解析:主旨大意题。根据第一段最后一句可知,另外一项研究显示体育活动可以帮助学生在课堂上表现得更好,能够取得更好的成绩。文章对这一研究发现展开了详细说明。故B项正确。
10.Which of the following is TRUE?
A.Being mentally active is good for academic subjects.
B.The more hormones you have, the more stressed you will get.
C.The researchers have found many high-quality studies to prove the research.
D.The educators in some countries think studies,not exercise, mean much to students.
D 解析:推理判断题。根据第二段前两句可知,正是因为一些教育者正在减少体育教育的时间,而把更多的时间用在了专业性更强的数学或阅读学科方面,人们才进行了这项研究。故D项正确。
11.The underlined sentence in Paragraph 6 probably means ________.
A.good marks result from high-quality study
B.findings are probably different in different areas
C.physical activity will spread all over the world
D.academic performance depends on the surroundings
B 解析:句意理解题。根据画线句前面两句可知,研究人员认为他们只进行了两次高质量的研究,还需要更多的研究来证实这个理论。也许在其他地方的研究会得出不同的结果。故B项正确。
12.What’s the purpose of writing the passage?
A.To call our attention to the sports at school.
B.To introduce all types of physical activities.
C.To represent the academic performance.
D.To improve students’ health.
A 解析:写作意图题。根据最后一段前两句可知,参加体育活动对学生有很大的好处,学校在减少体育课程之前要三思而后行。呼吁我们要重视体育教育。故A项正确。

37.interested 解析:考查形容词。be interested in...表示“对……感兴趣”。
38.the 解析:考查冠词。这里特指村民可能问智者的问题,故填定冠词the。
39.was taken 解析:考查动词时态和语态。take与the wise man之间是被动关系,且动作发生在过去,故用一般过去时的被动语态。

42.his 解析:考查代词。song和he之间是所属关系,故填his。
43.to 解析:考查介词。dance to music“随着音乐起舞”。
44.wildly 解析:考查副词。修饰动词dancing,因此用wild的副词形式。
45.dancing 解析:考查非谓语动词。stop dancing意为“停止跳舞。”

At__present,__some__of__Senior__One__students__have__problems__with__English__study.__What puzzles them is that it is difficult to adapt themselves to senior English study.Besides, they don’t know how to get high grades in English.
Therefore, I think it is developing good English study habits that counts.Because good study habits can not only arouse students’ interest in English study, but also relieve their study pressure.
As far as I’m concerned, something should be done to develop good habits.Firstly,students must concentrate on what the teachers say and take notes in class.In addition,students should go over what they have learned.Secondly, if students have made a plan,they must stick to it and then they may find it not as difficult as it appears.

阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
A young painter lived in a small narrow house, living on painting portraits before he became famous.
One day, a__rich__man came by and found the painter painting so well that he liked it and asked him to draw a portrait. They agreed on 1,000 dollars.
After a week, the portrait was done. The rich man came to take the painting as agreed on. At this moment, the rich man hit on an evil idea of bullying the unknown young artist. He thought,“The man in the painting is me. If I don’t buy this painting,__no one will buy it. Why should I pay so much money for it?” So the rich man said to the young painter,“I will only pay 300 dollars to buy this painting.”
The young painter was stunned, for he had never come across such things. He argued strongly on just grounds, expecting the rich man to keep the agreement and to be a trustworthy man.
“I can only pay 300 dollars to buy the painting. Speak no more.” The rich man thought he would win for sure, “I ask you at last, will you sell it 300 dollars or not?”
The young painter knew the rich man deliberately went back on his words, so he felt irritated. He said in a firm tone, “No, I would prefer not to sell the painting rather than to be humiliated by you. Today you break your word and someday you must pay 20__times for it.”
“What a joke! 20 times will be 20,000!I won’t be stupid to pay 20,000 dollars to buy the painting!”
“Well, we’d better wait and see,” the young artist cried to the rich man who left angrily.
After the stimulation(刺激) of such an incident,__the painter moved out of this sad place, studied after acknowledged teachers and worked hard night and day. More than a dozen years later, he finally blazed a new way and became popular in the circle of art. However, the rich man had forgotten the artist’s painting and words the next day.

Paragraph 1:
The famous painter decided to hold an exhibition at the very place. A good number of people were attracted to the exhibition to admire the great works. Interestingly, they found something really ridiculous and funny. One of the paintings entitled “Thief” was priced at 20,000 dollars. Strangely enough, the man in the painting looked exactly the same as the__rich__man. Words spread far and near and at last it reached the rich man’s ears. He recalled the incident and the__painter he broke his word with. It dawned on him that the painter was humiliating him in this way.
Paragraph 2:
The rich man hurried there, apologized a million times and requested that he buy back his portrait. The painter turned his back to him and stood there speechless with many visitors around. The rich man felt so embarrassed and absurd, “It is my own fault and I deserve it!” Then the painter turned around and handed him the painting. The rich man was willingly taking out his money when he was stopped and told it was free. In puzzlement, he was told that it was a gift for him hoping that he could be a man of good faith. Anyway, for the painter, it was this incident that motivated him to work hard and made him what he was today.

The House on Mango Street(excerpt)
In English my name means hope. In Spanish it means too many letters. It means sadness, and it means waiting. It is like the number nine. A muddy color. It is the Mexican records my father plays on Sunday mornings when he is shaving, songs like sobbing.
It was my great-grandmother’s name and now it is mine. She was a horse woman too, born like me in the Chinese year of horse—which is supposed to be bad luck if you’re born female—but I think this is a Chinese lie because the Chinese, like the Mexicans,don’t like their women strong.
My great-grandmother, I would have liked to have known her, a wild horse of a woman, so wild she wouldn’t marry. Until my great-grandfather threw a sack over her head and carried her off. Just that, as if she were a fancy chandelier.That’s the way he did it.
And the story goes she never forgave him. She looked out the window her whole life, the way so many women sit their sadness on an elbow. I wonder if she made the best with what she got or she was sad because she couldn’t be all the things she wanted to be. Esperanza. I have inherited her name, but I don’t want to inherit her place by the window.
At school they say my name funny as if the syllables were made out of tin and hurt the roof of your mouth. But in Spanish my name is made out of a softer something, like silver, not quite as thick as sister’s name—Magdalena—which is uglier than mine.
《芒果街上的小屋》(节选)
在英语里,我的名字的意思是希望。在西班牙语里,它意味着太多的字母。它意味着哀伤,意味着等待。它就像数字九。一种泥泞的色彩。它是每个星期天早晨,爸爸刮胡子时播放的墨西哥唱片,呜咽的歌。
它过去是我曾祖母的名字,现在是我的。她也是一个属马的女人,和我一样,生在中国的马年——如果你生为女人,这会被认为是霉运——可是我想,这是个中国谎言,因为,中国人和墨西哥人一样,不喜欢他们的女人强大。
我的曾祖母,要是我见过她多好,女人中的野马,野得不想嫁人。直到我的曾祖父用麻袋套住她的头把她扛走。就那样扛着,好像她是一盏华贵的枝形吊灯。那就是他的办法。
后来,她永远没有原谅他。她用一生向窗外凝望,像许多女人那样凝望,胳膊肘支起忧伤。我想知道她是否随遇而安;是否会为做不成她想做的人而伤怀。埃斯佩朗莎。我继承了她的名字,可我不想继承她在窗边的位置。
在学校里,他们说我的名字很滑稽,音节好像是铁皮做的,会碰痛嘴巴里的上颚。可是在西班牙语里,我的名字是更柔和的东西做的,像银子,没有妹妹的名字那么浑厚。她叫玛格达蕾娜,这名字没我的美。

I started using Facebook about one year ago and I really loved it. I could get the latest information about my friends through it. However, after using it for some time, I found something very disappointing.
It started about half a year ago. One day, while I was reading something that my friend Lisa posted, I found she was lying. She said she had won the first prize in a contest (竞赛). But the truth was that she only got the third prize. After she posted that on Facebook, many people said how great she was. I said nothing. I just felt disappointed.
But that was not the end of the story. Some days later, I found she told lies again. And her lies went on and on. She kept posting something she hadn’t done, such as buying an expensive gift for her mother, helping a stranger, keeping a homeless dog, and so on. And even worse, others followed her example. I knew why they did that. They felt envy (忌妒) of Lisa.
You may find it funny. But in fact Facebook envy is nothing to laugh about. Researchers found that those who envy others on Facebook are more likely to suffer from depression (抑郁症).
In my opinion, Facebook should just be used to talk with friends and families. We shouldn’t lie to others just in order to make others think we’re great. If we lie, others will lie, too. And in the end, everyone will lie on Facebook. So tell the truth on Facebook. It can help others really know about you.
【解题导语】 作者发现她的朋友 Lisa 经常在Facebook 上撒谎,她对此感到很失望。更糟的是,很多人因为妒忌 Lisa 也开始撒谎。所以作者建议人们在Facebook上实话实说。
1.After the author started using Facebook, she ________.
A.often lied on it
B.found it helpful at first
C.made a lot of friends on it
D.found it disappointing at once
B 解析:细节理解题。根据文章第一段的内容可知,当作者一开始使用Facebook 时,她能通过Facebook获得好友的信息,这让作者觉得Facebook很有用。
2.What made the author disappointed?
A.Feeling envy of Lisa.
B.Not getting the first prize.
C.Lisa’s lying about herself.
D.Having nothing great to post.
C 解析:细节理解题。根据文章第二段的内容可知,不久作者发现她的好友Lisa在Facebook上撒谎,这让作者很失望。
3.By saying“others followed her example”,the author means others ________.
A.did something great too
B.started to use Facebook
C.started to envy Lisa
D.started telling lies on Facebook
D 解析:推理判断题。根据文章第三段的内容可知,Lisa的谎言越来越多,多数都是在炫耀自己,而她的炫耀导致了更糟的事情:因为妒忌她所说的那些虚假的东西,其他人也开始撒谎,由此可知“others followed her example”指的是其他人也开始在Facebook上撒谎。
4.What does the author think people should do on Facebook?
A.Keep honest.
B.Make true friends.
C.Make themselves great.
D.Help others correct their mistakes.
A 解析:细节理解题。根据末段的内容可知,作者认为人们在Facebook上应该实话实说,这样才能让别人真正了解自己。

【解题导语】 作者虽然残疾,但通过自己的努力获得了成功,他的事迹告诉我们:有志者,事竟成。
1.disability 解析:考查名词。根据下文的in a special school可知,作者身患残疾,故此处填disable的名词形式作从句的主语。
2.truly 解析:考查副词。这里用副词修饰形容词happy,故填truly。
3.was placed 解析:考查动词的时态和语态。语境表明此处用一般过去时;句中主语I是动词的承受者,所以用一般过去时的被动语态。
4.who/that 解析:考查关系代词。根据句子结构可知,定语从句的先行词为children,且在从句中作主语,所以用关系代词who或that。
5.trying 解析:考查非谓语动词。try和句子的逻辑主语I之间是主动关系,故用现在分词trying。
6.of/at 解析:考查介词。of/at my age意为“和我同岁”。
7.It 解析:考查代词。此处用it指代前面提到的尝试和其他同龄人一样享受生活这件事。
8.understood 解析:考查动词的时态。and连接并列成分,前面是一般过去时,因此后面也用一般过去时。
9.successful 解析:考查形容词。空格处用形容词修饰名词business, succeed的形容词形式为successful。
10.to realize 解析:考查非谓语动词。teach sb.to do sth.意为“教某人做某事”。

One weekend in July, Jane and her husband, Tom,__had driven three hours to camp overnight by a lake in the forest. Unfortunately, on the way an unpleasant subject came up and they started to quarrel. By the time they reached the lake, Jane was so angry that she said to Tom,“I’m going to find a better spot for us to camp”and walked away.
With no path to follow, Jane just walked on for quite a long time. After she had climbed to a high place, she turned around, hoping to see the lake. To her surprise, she saw nothing but forest and, far beyond, a snow-capped mountain top. She suddenly realized that she was lost.
“Tom!”she cried.“Help!”
No reply. If only she had not left her mobile phone in that bag with Tom. Jane kept moving, but the farther she walked, the more confused she became. As night was beginning to fall, Jane was so tired that she had to stop for the night. Lying awake in the dark, Jane wanted very much to be with Tom and her family. She wanted to hold him and tell him how much she loved him.
Jane rose at the break of day, hungry and thirsty. She could hear water trickling(滴落) somewhere at__a__distance. Quickly she followed the sound to a stream. To__her__great__joy,__ she also saw some berry bushes. She drank and ate a few berries. Never in her life had she tasted anything better. Feeling stronger now, Jane began to walk along the stream and hope it would lead her to the lake.
As she picked her way carefully along the stream, Jane heard a helicopter. Is that for me? Unfortunately, the trees made it impossible for people to see her from above. A few minutes later, another helicopter flew overhead. Jane took off her yellow__blouse,__ thinking that she should go to an open area and flag them if they came back again.

Coffee is an important part of Italian culture and since arriving here over six months ago, I have drunk a lot of it!
Of course, coffee is also very popular in the UK but coffee culture in Italy is a completely different story. In Italy, when you order a coffee in a café or bar(酒吧), you are served with a tiny, bitter espresso. This is “normal(正常的) coffee” for Italians and they are not so interested in the huge coffees that we drink in the UK. If you want more than one sip(小口) of coffee in Italy, lungo is a good choice. It is espresso with a little more water added, but still served in a small cup. In addition, while takeaway coffee is quite popular among Brits, it is not very common at all in Italy, especially in non-touristy areas. Generally, Italians prefer to drink their tiny coffees while standing at the bar and, for many, this short break is an important part of their day.
Usually, breakfast in a bar in Italy includes a coffee and a pastry(酥皮糕点). I have been spoiled for choice with lovely cafés in the Italian town I’m living in. These cafés sell different kinds of mouth-watering pastries—either plain(无馅料的) or filled with cream, chocolate, etc.—as well as delicious coffee. Cappuccinos are very popular at breakfast time and, for me, a creamy cappuccino and a pastry with chocolate is the perfect way to start the day.
Finally, I have found that coffee in Italy is so much cheaper than coffee in the UK. Normally, an espresso or a macchiato (an espresso with a drop of milk) costs around a euro and a cappuccino about 1.50!They are small, of course, but this means that in Italy it is possible to go out for coffee every day without breaking the bank.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了意大利的咖啡文化。
1.How is Paragraph 2 mainly developed?
A.By time. B.By space.
C.By example. D.By comparison.
D 解析:推理判断题。第二段通过与英国的咖啡文化对比,介绍了意大利的咖啡文化。
2.Which coffee will you get in Italy if you order one without special instructions?
A.Espresso. B.Lungo.
C.Cappuccino. D.Macchiato.

Some educators told us that more years of school could help students get higher scores on intelligence tests.That was a finding of a study of teenage males in some countries.Now,another research shows that physical activity may help students do better in their classes.
The research comes as educators in some countries are reducing time for activities like physical education.They are using the time instead for academic(学术的) subjects like math and reading.The studies appeared between 2008 and 2014.They included more than 55,000 children,aged 6 to 18.
Amika Singh said “According to the results of our study,we can conclude that being physically active is beneficial for academic performance.There are,first,physiological explanations, like more blood flow, and so more oxygen to the brain.Being physically active means there are more hormones(荷尔蒙) produced like endorphins(内啡肽).And endorphins make your stress level lower and your mood improved, which means you also perform better.”
Also,students taking part in organized sports learn rules and how to follow them.This could improve their classroom behaviour and help them keep their mind on their work.
The study leaves some questions unanswered,however.Ms Stash says it is not possible to say whether the amount or kind of activity affected the level of academic improvement.This is because of differences among the studies.
The researchers said they found only two high-quality studies.They needed more high-quality studies to confirm(证实) their findings.They also pointed out that “results__for__other__parts__of__the__world__may__be__quite__different”.
Still, the general finding was that physically active kids are more likely to do better in school.Ms Singh says schools should consider that finding before they cut physical education programs.Her paper on“Physical Activity and Performance at School”is published in the Archives of Pediatric and Adolescent Medicine.
【解题导语】 本文介绍了一项新的研究发现:体育活动对学生的学习有益。作者呼吁我们要重视体育教育。
9.The passage mainly tells us that ________.
A.a research on physical education has been done by the researchers
B.there is a possibility that physical activity leads to higher grades
C.the amount or kind of activity directly affects academic level
D.the research shows that the children aged 6 to 18 don’t do sports
B 解析:主旨大意题。根据第一段最后一句可知,另外一项研究显示体育活动可以帮助学生在课堂上表现得更好,能够取得更好的成绩。文章对这一研究发现展开了详细说明。故B项正确。
10.Which of the following is TRUE?
A.Being mentally active is good for academic subjects.
B.The more hormones you have, the more stressed you will get.
C.The researchers have found many high-quality studies to prove the research.
D.The educators in some countries think studies,not exercise, mean much to students.
D 解析:推理判断题。根据第二段前两句可知,正是因为一些教育者正在减少体育教育的时间,而把更多的时间用在了专业性更强的数学或阅读学科方面,人们才进行了这项研究。故D项正确。
11.The underlined sentence in Paragraph 6 probably means ________.
A.good marks result from high-quality study
B.findings are probably different in different areas
C.physical activity will spread all over the world
D.academic performance depends on the surroundings
B 解析:句意理解题。根据画线句前面两句可知,研究人员认为他们只进行了两次高质量的研究,还需要更多的研究来证实这个理论。也许在其他地方的研究会得出不同的结果。故B项正确。
12.What’s the purpose of writing the passage?
A.To call our attention to the sports at school.
B.To introduce all types of physical activities.
C.To represent the academic performance.
D.To improve students’ health.
A 解析:写作意图题。根据最后一段前两句可知,参加体育活动对学生有很大的好处,学校在减少体育课程之前要三思而后行。呼吁我们要重视体育教育。故A项正确。

One possible version:
At__present,__some__of__Senior__One__students__have__problems__with__English__study.__What puzzles them is that it is difficult to adapt themselves to senior English study.Besides, they don’t know how to get high grades in English.
Therefore, I think it is developing good English study habits that counts.Because good study habits can not only arouse students’ interest in English study, but also relieve their study pressure.
As far as I’m concerned, something should be done to develop good habits.Firstly,students must concentrate on what the teachers say and take notes in class.In addition,students should go over what they have learned.Secondly, if students have made a plan,they must stick to it and then they may find it not as difficult as it appears.

阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
A young painter lived in a small narrow house, living on painting portraits before he became famous.
One day, a__rich__man came by and found the painter painting so well that he liked it and asked him to draw a portrait. They agreed on 1,000 dollars.
After a week, the portrait was done. The rich man came to take the painting as agreed on. At this moment, the rich man hit on an evil idea of bullying the unknown young artist. He thought,“The man in the painting is me. If I don’t buy this painting,__no one will buy it. Why should I pay so much money for it?” So the rich man said to the young painter,“I will only pay 300 dollars to buy this painting.”
The young painter was stunned, for he had never come across such things. He argued strongly on just grounds, expecting the rich man to keep the agreement and to be a trustworthy man.
“I can only pay 300 dollars to buy the painting. Speak no more.” The rich man thought he would win for sure, “I ask you at last, will you sell it 300 dollars or not?”
The young painter knew the rich man deliberately went back on his words, so he felt irritated. He said in a firm tone, “No, I would prefer not to sell the painting rather than to be humiliated by you. Today you break your word and someday you must pay 20__times for it.”
“What a joke! 20 times will be 20,000!I won’t be stupid to pay 20,000 dollars to buy the painting!”
“Well, we’d better wait and see,” the young artist cried to the rich man who left angrily.
After the stimulation(刺激) of such an incident,__the painter moved out of this sad place, studied after acknowledged teachers and worked hard night and day. More than a dozen years later, he finally blazed a new way and became popular in the circle of art. However, the rich man had forgotten the artist’s painting and words the next day.

One possible version:
Paragraph 1:
The famous painter decided to hold an exhibition at the very place. A good number of people were attracted to the exhibition to admire the great works. Interestingly, they found something really ridiculous and funny. One of the paintings entitled “Thief” was priced at 20,000 dollars. Strangely enough, the man in the painting looked exactly the same as the__rich__man. Words spread far and near and at last it reached the rich man’s ears. He recalled the incident and the__painter he broke his word with. It dawned on him that the painter was humiliating him in this way.
Paragraph 2:
The rich man hurried there, apologized a million times and requested that he buy back his portrait. The painter turned his back to him and stood there speechless with many visitors around. The rich man felt so embarrassed and absurd, “It is my own fault and I deserve it!” Then the painter turned around and handed him the painting. The rich man was willingly taking out his money when he was stopped and told it was free. In puzzlement, he was told that it was a gift for him hoping that he could be a man of good faith. Anyway, for the painter, it was this incident that motivated him to work hard and made him what he was today.

The House on Mango Street(excerpt)
In English my name means hope. In Spanish it means too many letters. It means sadness, and it means waiting. It is like the number nine. A muddy color. It is the Mexican records my father plays on Sunday mornings when he is shaving, songs like sobbing.
It was my great-grandmother’s name and now it is mine. She was a horse woman too, born like me in the Chinese year of horse—which is supposed to be bad luck if you’re born female—but I think this is a Chinese lie because the Chinese, like the Mexicans,don’t like their women strong.
My great-grandmother, I would have liked to have known her, a wild horse of a woman, so wild she wouldn’t marry. Until my great-grandfather threw a sack over her head and carried her off. Just that, as if she were a fancy chandelier.That’s the way he did it.
And the story goes she never forgave him. She looked out the window her whole life, the way so many women sit their sadness on an elbow. I wonder if she made the best with what she got or she was sad because she couldn’t be all the things she wanted to be. Esperanza. I have inherited her name, but I don’t want to inherit her place by the window.
At school they say my name funny as if the syllables were made out of tin and hurt the roof of your mouth. But in Spanish my name is made out of a softer something, like silver, not quite as thick as sister’s name—Magdalena—which is uglier than mine.
《芒果街上的小屋》(节选)
在英语里,我的名字的意思是希望。在西班牙语里,它意味着太多的字母。它意味着哀伤,意味着等待。它就像数字九。一种泥泞的色彩。它是每个星期天早晨,爸爸刮胡子时播放的墨西哥唱片,呜咽的歌。
它过去是我曾祖母的名字,现在是我的。她也是一个属马的女人,和我一样,生在中国的马年——如果你生为女人,这会被认为是霉运——可是我想,这是个中国谎言,因为,中国人和墨西哥人一样,不喜欢他们的女人强大。
我的曾祖母,要是我见过她多好,女人中的野马,野得不想嫁人。直到我的曾祖父用麻袋套住她的头把她扛走。就那样扛着,好像她是一盏华贵的枝形吊灯。那就是他的办法。
后来,她永远没有原谅他。她用一生向窗外凝望,像许多女人那样凝望,胳膊肘支起忧伤。我想知道她是否随遇而安;是否会为做不成她想做的人而伤怀。埃斯佩朗莎。我继承了她的名字,可我不想继承她在窗边的位置。
在学校里,他们说我的名字很滑稽,音节好像是铁皮做的,会碰痛嘴巴里的上颚。可是在西班牙语里,我的名字是更柔和的东西做的,像银子,没有妹妹的名字那么浑厚。她叫玛格达蕾娜,这名字没我的美。

Charles Darwin lived an unusually quiet life. In 1842, Darwin and his wife Emma moved from London to Kent in southern England to have as little disturbance(烦扰) as possible. They already had two children then, and would go on to have eight more in the country.
Darwin had very regular(有规律的) habits. He rose early and went for a walk. After breakfast he worked in his study until 9:30 am, his most productive time of the day, and then read his letters lying on the sofa before returning to work.
At midday he would go for another walk with his dog, stopping at his greenhouse to inspect(查看) his experiments. Then he would go for another walk around an area of woodland. While walking on his “thinking path”, Darwin would consider his unsolved scientific problems.
After lunch he read the newspaper and wrote letters. His network of friends provided information from all corners of the world.
The Darwins were not very strict parents and the children were always seen running wild. Their father worked patiently to a background of playful shouts and little footsteps walking past his study door.
After dinner Darwin played backgammon (a game for two people to play) with his wife. He once wrote, “Now the result with my wife in backgammon stands like this: she... has won only 2,490 games, while I have won, hurrah(a cheer of joy or victory), hurrah, 2,795 games!”
Although he had poor health, Darwin continued to publish(出版) a lot of creative works until his final book in 1881. He died the following year, aged 73.
Rather than a quiet space in the local churchyard, which he called “the sweetest place on Earth”, Darwin was given a state funeral(国葬) in London’s Westminster Abbey.

In 1978, I was 18 and was working as a nurse in a small town about 270 km away from Sydney, Australia. I was looking forward to having five days off from duty. Unfortunately, the only one train a day back to my home in Sydney had already left. So I thought I’d hitch a ride(搭便车).
I waited by the side of the highway for three hours but no one stopped for me. Finally, a man walked over and introduced himself as Gordon. He said that although he couldn’t give me a lift, I should come back to his house for lunch. He noticed me standing for hours in the November heat and thought I must be hungry. I was doubtful as a young girl but he assured(向……保证) me I was safe, and he also offered to help me find a lift home afterwards. When we arrived at his house, he made us sandwiches. After lunch, he helped me find a lift home.
Twenty-five years later, in 2003, while I was driving to a nearby town one day, I saw an elderly man standing in the glaring(耀眼的) heat, trying to hitch a ride. I thought it was another chance to repay someone for the favour I’d been given decades earlier. I pulled over and picked him up. I made him comfortable on the back seat and offered him some water.
After a few moments of small talk, the man said to me,“You haven’t changed a bit, even your red hair is still the same.”
I couldn’t remember where I’d met him. He then told me he was the man who had given me lunch and helped me find a lift all those years ago. It was Gordon.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了作者多年前要搭便车回家而遇上一位热心人的故事。25年后,作者也遇到一位想要搭便车的人,便主动提供帮助,而此人正是当年帮助过自己的那个人。

A.He helped the girl find a ride.
B.He gave the girl a ride back home.
C.He bought sandwiches for the girl.
D.He watched the girl for three hours.

This is not something new. You’re sitting at the dinner table with your dog touching your feet. You know you shouldn’t give dogs human food. But when you look down, you find that those lovely puppy eyes are almost impossible to say “no” to. So you give it some food.
What is it about a dog’s loving gaze(凝视) that makes it so lovely? A new study by a scientist Miho Nagasawa seems to have found the answer. He found it has to do with something called the cuddle(拥抱) chemical. The cuddle chemical in the blood encourages bonding. Levels of it increase, for example, when a parent hugs a newborn baby. According to Nagasawa’s study, levels of the cuddle chemical can also go up when we look deeply into the eyes of a dog.
In order to better understand how the cuddle chemical works between dogs and humans, Nagasawa and his team did an experiment. They tested levels of the cuddle chemical in dogs and humans, and then put them in a room to interact (互动) with each other.
While in the room, the humans petted the dogs, spoke to the dogs, and looked into the dogs’ eyes. Then the scientists tested their levels of the cuddle chemical again. They found that levels of the cuddle chemical were higher in both humans and dogs after they interacted. However, levels were the highest in the humans and dogs that simply looked into each other’s eyes, without much petting or talking.
Simply put, the longer the humans look into the eyes of the dogs, the more the cuddle chemical is produced. Nagasawa did the same experiment with humans and wolves, but it did not give the same results.
【解题导语】 研究发现,当人和狗对视的时候,双方体内的“拥抱荷尔蒙”都会增加,从而加深彼此的感情。
29.According to the author, the fact mentioned in Para. 1 is________.
A.special B.surprising
C.common D.boring
C 解析:细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的“This is not something new.”可知,作者认为这种现象很普遍。
30.Why did Nagasawa and his team do the first experiment?
A.To find how the cuddle chemical affects humans.
B.To help humans get along well with animals.
C.To make good use of the cuddle chemical.
D.To learn more about the cuddle chemical.
D 解析:推理判断题。根据文章第三段中的“In order to better understand how the cuddle chemical works between dogs and humans...”可知,科学家们做这个实验的目的是要更好地了解“拥抱荷尔蒙”是如何发挥作用的,也就是说他们想要知道有关“拥抱荷尔蒙”更多的信息。
31.The level of the cuddle chemical in humans will not increase when________.
A.they talk to a wolf
B.they play with a dog
C.they hug newborn babies
D.they look into a dog’s eyes
A 解析:细节理解题。根据文章最后一句可知,人类和狼之间的互动交流不会使人体内的“拥抱荷尔蒙”增加。
32.The passage is probably taken from ________.
A.a story book B.a science magazine
C.science fiction D.a text book
B 解析:文章出处题。根据文章内容可知本文主要是讲一项科学研究,由此可推断本文最有可能摘自一本科学杂志。
D
According to researchers, money can buy happiness, but only if you spend it on someone else. Spending as little as $5 a day on someone else could significantly bring you happiness, the team at the University of British Columbia and Harvard Business School found.
Their experiments on more than 630 Americans showed they were measurably(适度地) happier when they spent money on others—even if they thought spending the money on themselves would make them happier.
“We wanted to test our theory that how people spend their money is at least as important as how much money they earn,”said Elizabeth Dunn, a psychologist at the University of British Columbia.
They asked their 600 volunteers first to rate their general happiness, report their annual income and detail their monthly spending including bills, gifts for themselves, gifts for others and donations to charity.
“Regardless of how much income each person made, those who spent money on others reported greater happiness, while those who spent more on themselves did not,”Dunn said in a statement.
Dunn’s team also surveyed 16 employees at a company in Boston before and after they received an annual profit-sharing bonus of between $3,000 and $8,000.
“Employees who devoted more of their bonus to pro-social (有益社会的) spending experienced greater happiness after receiving the bonus, and the manner in which they spent that bonus was a more important predictor of their happiness than the size of the bonus itself,”they wrote in their report, published in the journal Science.
They gave their volunteers $5 or $20 and half got clear instructions on how to spend it. Those who spent the money on someone or something else reported feeling happier about it.
“These findings suggest that very minor alterations in spending allocations(分配)—as little as $5—may be enough to produce real gains in happiness on a given day,”Dunn said.
【解题导语】 文章主要讲钱花在别人身上会使人幸福感更强。
33.According to the passage, ________.
A.the more money you spend on others, the happier you are
B.spending money on others can bring you happiness
C.Elizabeth Dunn is a psychologist from Harvest Business School
D.six hundred volunteers took part in the experiment
B 解析:细节理解题。根据第一段中的According to researchers, money can buy happiness, but only if you spend it on someone else.可知,金钱花在别人身上可以给人带来幸福,所以选B。
34.The 16 employees mentioned in the passage ________.
A.were given clear instructions on how to spend the bonus
B.had more happiness than the size of the bonus itself
C.experienced greater happiness after receiving their bonus
D.felt happier after they contributed much of the bonus to charities
D 解析:细节理解题。根据倒数第三段中的Employees who devoted more of their bonus to pro-social(有益社会的) spending experienced greater happiness after receiving the bonus可知,这16个职员中那些花在公益事业上越多钱的人感觉更幸福,所以选D。
35.Dunn’s statement suggested that ________.
A.those who spent money on others felt happier no matter how much they earned
B.those who spent more money on themselves felt happier
C.people thought spending money could make themselves happier
D.the money spent was as important as the money earned
A 解析:细节理解题。根据倒数第三段中的...was a more important predictor of their happiness than the size of the bonus itself可知那些愿意为别人花钱的人不论奖金多少,都会更高兴。所以选A。
36.The best title of this passage is ________.
A.Experiment on Money Spending
B.Devoting Your Money to Charities
C.Spending Money on Others Makes One Happier
D.Bonus and Pro-social Spending
C 解析:标题归纳题。通读全文可得知,文章主要讲钱花在别人身上会使人幸福感更强,所以选C。

第二节 读后续写(满分25分)
阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
I sat at the breakfast table with my four-year-old son, Matthew,__trying to ignore the ache in my stomach. “Mama, want to play?”“Not today, baby,” I shook my head. These days I could barely get out of bed. I was still recovering from a surgery.I hoped for strength and happiness. But the future seemed so hopeless.
Suddenly, Matthew jumped up from his spot on the kitchen floor. “Bird!” he shouted, rushing to our courtyard. Sure enough, there was a white dove seated in a rubber__tree. It sat there for a few moments, and then flew away. Strange, I’d never seen one in our neighborhood before.
When I dragged myself to the kitchen the next morning, the dove was back. This time with a mate carrying twigs(嫩枝). “Look, Matthew,” I said, pointing to the tree. “They’re going to make a nest.” The doves flew in and out of the courtyard all week, building on top of the rubber tree.
Matthew could hardly contain his excitement. Every morning, he’d run into the kitchen and take his spot by the__sliding__glass__door,__talking to the birds while they worked. His enthusiasm was influential. As much as I was grieving(悲伤), I couldn’t help but look__forward__to the doves’ visits too.
Then it all went wrong. The courtyard was a safe enough spot for a nest, but the rubber tree’s broad, thin leaves were far from stable. One night, a strong__wind blew, throwing the doves’ nest to the ground. I heard the twigs break apart.
I surveyed the damage. Nothing good ever lasts. I wouldn’t blame the doves if they never came back. But they returned. And they paid no attention to the pile of sticks that had once been their nest. They started again from scratch. Again, though, the wind destroyed all their hard work. The next day, and the next, they renewed their efforts, as if nothing had happened.

One possible version:
Paragraph 1:
I knew I had to do something. The white dove and its mate had given me something to look__forward__to,__even in my darkest days. Now I was going to help them in return. I woke up the following morning with a plan. There was only an hour before the doves usually made their visits. I hammered a shelf into the wall next to the rubber__tree and covered it with leaves to make it look like a tree. Then Matthew and I stood by the__sliding__glass__door,__waiting and hoping.
Paragraph 2:
“It works! The birds are back!” Matthew announced. There they were — sitting on top of the shelf, adding some twigs to the new nest despite damage from the strong__wind. Three weeks later, we watched three chicks break free from their shells. “Chirp, chirp!” Matthew sang. I held him close and kissed him, feeling more positive and hopeful than I had in months. I realized all around me, life went on. And it was filled with wonders and surprises that I couldn’t even imagine.
