Section Ⅰ Warming Up & Reading—Comprehending
阅读理解
A
Youth sports have become a big business in the United States, and have taken on a much more professionalized form over the past decade. In previous generations, children spent a large part of their leisure time playing throughout their neighborhoods. Today’s children, on average, are spending much less time on unstructured settings and much more time on activities arranged by adults.
In a new study, we asked 100 undergraduate and graduate students to complete a very detailed “childhood leisure activities survey”， which asked them to reflect on hours spent in various leisure activities during their school?age years. We also asked these same participants to complete the Abbreviated Torrance Test for Adults (ATTA), a widely?used creativity test that required them to draw and write in four creative activities. We then analyzed the relationship between the participants’ childhood leisure activities and their performance on the ATTA.
We found that informal sports played in unstructured, unsupervised(无人监督的) environments have many notable elements. These environments offer children the freedom to self?govern, create rules, solve problems and deal with social conflicts on their own terms. Organized sports, on the other hand, tend to focus on obedience, learning from models, and a number of other qualities that would be unlikely to be beneficial to creative development.
In fact, those with “above?average” creativity reported spending 15% of their total childhood leisure time playing informal sports versus 13% playing organized sports. The participants with “below?average” creativity spent only 10% of their childhood leisure time playing informal sports versus 22% on organized sports. The difference is encouraging. It suggests that parents interested in developing the creativity of children don’t have to necessarily quit traditional organized sports.They simply need to be aware of the importance of a balanced distribution(分配) of their children’s time between organized and unstructured settings.

Could the answer to mobility problems one day be as easy as putting on a pair of trousers? A research team at Bristol University has recently unveiled a pair of robotic trousers that could help some disabled people walk without other assistance.
The so?called “Right Trousers” use soft artificial muscles as well as the wearer’s real muscles. The artificial muscles mimic(模仿) human muscles in producing a force simply by becoming shorter and pulling on both ends. By bundling several artificial muscles together, the assistive trousers can move a joint such as the knee, and help the user with actions such as standing up from a chair. By using existing muscles and by passing the brain, the assistive trousers can even command muscles that the wearers might have difficulty using on their own.
Because the artificial muscles are easy to stretch and soft, they are safer than traditional motors used in robotic structures that, although powerful, are solid and uncomfortable. The plastic knee braces(护膝) of the trousers also allow the knee to move or lock in position to maintain standing without much effort needed by the muscles.
The Right Trousers combine advanced research with well?established techniques in a single prototype(原型). Aside from the originality of robotic trousers, what makes the device so compelling as a practical assistive technology is the fact that it can be adapted to many different users. This raises the hope that it could be widely adopted where other previous efforts have failed.
However, this is only the prototype. A working product is probably at least five years away and significant questions must be answered to get to that stage. Where will it store all the power it needs? How can all the systems be embedded(嵌入) in the trousers so they don’t become bulky and awkward to wear? Can the controller predict the best action to take amid the ever?changing complexity of real environments where users will be walking?
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了一种可以帮助残疾人和行动不便的人便于行动的机械裤子。

C
The first time we hear something new, a foreign sound or word—even an unknown word in our own languages—something in it may cause delight or dislike.
Often with familiar words, it’s almost impossible to simply look at one without considering its meaning. Words like “putrid” or “disgusting” have unpleasant implications already built into our subconscious(潜意识). However, when we learn a new language, we encounter words free of associations in our mind.
The British linguist David Crystal conducted some research to learn about what makes certain sounds beautiful, and noted that the most popular words have positive implications—no surprises there. But what’s interesting is what these words have in common: two or three syllables(音节), short vowels, common sounds such as /l/, /s/ and /m/. None of these sounds require much energy or effort to be pronounced, so they lead to natural tones. Some examples are: autumn, melody, lullaby, velvet, whisper, caress.
Sounds that British students struggled with at the start of the course —/θ/，/x/，/r/ and /t?/— because they are rare or do not exist in their mother tongue, became more popular by the end of the year. If we effectively take control of a word, it becomes a word we like to say and hear. The process thus brings new “love” for words with originally tricky(棘手的) elements.
There are also words which students used to find challenging but finally have grown confident using with the kind of pride that arises from knowledge, hard work and learning, regardless of the words’ meanings. This is particularly obvious in the example of “desafortunadamente”， which means “unfortunately” in Spanish. The word has obvious negative implications, but learners are more likely to experience disassociation with a word from its meaning, which rarely happens in their mother tongue. Speakers of a new language can therefore enjoy a word on its own value, disregarding its implications.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇议论文，主要论述了人们对一些词语产生好恶感的原因。
8．Our feeling about a familiar word is mainly based on its________.
A．usage B．sound
C．meaning D．origin
C 解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中的it’s almost impossible to simply look at one without considering its meaning...unpleasant implications already built into our subconscious(潜意识)．可知，我们对熟悉的词的感觉取决于其意义。
9．Words that might be considered beautiful often________.
A．are related to nature
B．are easy to pronounce
C．remind people of strength
D．have different implications
B 解析：细节理解题。根据第三段中的two or three syllables(音节)．..None of these sounds require much energy or effort to be pronounced...可知，一些被认为很优美的单词都易于发音。
10．The last paragraph suggests that learners of a new language________.
A．prefer learning difficult words slowly
B．may separate words from their meanings
C．should avoid mother?tongue thinking habits
D．had better start reading before learning words
B 解析：细节理解题。根据最后一段中的the kind of pride that arises from knowledge, hard work and learning, regardless of the words’ meanings及but learners are more likely to experience disassociation with a word from its meaning, which rarely happens in their mother tongue. Speakers of a new language can therefore enjoy a word on its own value, disregarding its implications.可知，学习新语言时，学习者会将单词和其意义分开看待。

Thank－you cards are cards which are sent with an expression of thanks. Sending thank－you cards is a cornerstone of etiquette(礼仪). 1.________ And they will be more likely to offer gifts, services, and other things in the future when they have been thanked with a formal written card.
It is a good idea to include a hand－written note in a thank－you card, as this indicates that the card is being sent as a serious expression of appreciation, rather than as a duty. A typical note explains the reason why the card is being sent, often with a discussion of why the gift or service was appreciated.2.________
For example, a thank－you card sent to a grandparent after a birthday might read, “Dear Grandmother: 3.________ The money will come in handy to buy some books. It was very nice to see you at my party, and I hope that I’ll see you again soon. Thank－you again, grandchild.”
A formal written thank－you card is considered basic politeness, and children are often taught to write it at a very young age. 4.________Many businessmen also regularly send thank－you cards to clients, especially new clients, to make them feel welcome and appreciated.
5．________ Card?printing kits(工具箱) are readily available in stationary stores, and people can also make cards with their own cardstock. Handmade cards are sometimes greatly appreciated, and they can be a great option for people who do not have a lot of money to spend on thank－you cards.
A．It is possible to make one’s own thank－you cards.
B．In fact, people greatly appreciate receiving such cards.
C．Begin with the two most important words: Thank you.
D．This way they can develop the habit of thanking others.
E．I look forward to seeing you at my birthday party next month.
F．Thank you very much for the birthday greetings and the check.
G．And it ends with an expression of thanks and the sender’s name.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了感谢卡及其用途。
1．B 解析：此空设于段中，与前一句存在指代关系。该项中such cards指的就是前一句中的thank－you cards，且与后一句中的when they have been thanked with a formal written card呼应。
2．G 解析：此空设于段尾，与前一句内容存在并列关系，说明感谢卡以表示感谢和发送者的名字结束，且根据下一段的例子也可知答案。
3．F 解析：此空设于段中，承上启下。根据后文内容可知，生日聚会已经举办过了，故第一句需感谢祖母的生日问候及礼物。后文The money与该项中的the check相呼应。

A mother’s dying wish was fulfilled when she got to see her son graduate from high school from her hospital bed. Stephanie Northcott has Lynch Syndrome(林奇综合症), a genetic condition linked to several types of cancer. It’s the same disease that claimed her daughter’s life in 2010 when she was just 20 years old.
Northcott is being treated at Baptist Hospital East in Memphis, over 200 miles away from Knoxville where her only son, Dalton, was wrapping up his senior year at Halls High School. She was worried she would miss a major milestone in her son’s life—his graduation, but then a community of people pulled together to bring his graduation to her.
With the help of the school, friends, and hospital staff, the Halls High School graduation was brought to Northcott’s bedside, her friend, Julie Northcott told CBS News. The longtime friends have the same last name because Julie is now married to Stephanie’s ex?husband.
About 20 of Dalton’s classmates traveled to the hospital in their caps and gowns so they could graduate in front of his mom. Medical staff members rolled Northcott’s bed into the hospital’s chapel(教堂), and one by one, the students walked in to the tune of The Graduation March. The graduating seniors stopped by Northcott’s hospital bed positioned in the middle of the room to hug her.
Then, Dalton entered the room in his cap and gown. He hugged his mom and stepped up to the podium(领奖台) where his school principal stood. Through tears, the principal presented Dalton with his high school diploma. With her spirits lifted by her son’s accomplishment, Northcott sat up in her hospital bed and began singing to the room.
Completely overwhelmed by the special graduation ceremony, Dalton’s classmates and football teammates wrapped him in emotional hugs. Julie Northcott told CBS News that she has started an online campaign to help raise money for her friend’s funeral costs.

Scott and Daniel Harry are enjoying everyday tasks like shopping and washing for the first time following their move to an accommodation(住宿) support house in Kurwongbah，north of Brisbane last year.
Disability Services Queensland’s Strengthening Non?Government Organisations project provided an accommodation support model that would enable residents(居住者) like Daniel and Scott to live more independently.
The house is just one of many accommodation support services funded(资助) through the project.The five?bedroom house provides 24?hour care for up to four individuals with complex needs, including medical support.Care and staffing levels are varied and flexible, depending on each resident’s requirements.
Scott and Daniel, who have a severe form of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, require 24?hour support in all activities of daily living.Before they moved to the house，they lived with their family.Scott says living at home was difficult as it placed a physical and emotional strain(负担) on their parents who had to wake them several times each night to reposition them or place them on breathing machines.
“We were heavyhearted，”says Scott，who is planning to write a book about his life experiences.“But our parents now have a lot more time for themselves.We now manage ourselves on a day?to?day basis.”
Daniel is an enthusiastic gardener，taking care of his own vegetable garden.The men share the house with one other young man，and they go to rugby league games，meeting up with friends.
Leeding Care Australia provides the care service at Kurwongbah.Manager Lee Garniss says setting up the facilities(设施) has not been without its challenges.
“It is an unconventional model of care，”Lee says.“The home is Scott and Daniel’s home, however, it is also a workplace for their support staff.Balancing these two requirements has been a challenge for all.”
“We have experienced a learning phase over the last twelve months.However，by working as a team we try our best to meet the needs of both residents and staff and I think we have achieved the right balance.”

The Road Not Taken is one of Robert Frost’s most familiar and popular poems. It is made up of four stanzas(节) of five lines each. The popularity of the poem is largely a result of the simplicity of its symbolism: the speaker must choose between diverging(分叉的) paths in a wood, and he thinks that choice is like choosing between different directions in life. Though it is a simple poem, different people have different interpretations of how the speaker feels about his situation and how the readers view the speaker.
Frost wrote the poem in the first person, which raises the question of whether the speaker is the poet himself or a persona, a character created for the purpose of the poem. According to a biography，Robert Frost: The Years of Triumph by Lawrance Thompson, Frost would often introduce that the speaker was based on his friend Edward Thomas，“A person who, whichever road he went, would be sorry he didn’t go the other.”
In the first stanza, the speaker must choose between two paths in different directions. He regrets that he cannot follow both roads, so he pauses for a long while to consider his choice. In this stanza and the next, one road seems preferable; however, in the third stanza he has decided that the two paths are roughly equivalent(相同的). And then he tries to cheer himself up by comforting himself that he will return someday and walk the other road.
In the last part of the poem, however, the speaker realizes that he probably will never return to walk another path. He believes that when he looks back years later, he will see that he had actually chosen the “less traveled” road, which may make a big difference to his life. The poem is entitled The Road Not Taken, which implies that he will never stop thinking about the other path he might have followed.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文，主要评析了Robert Frost的诗歌《未选择的路》。
5．Why is the poem The Road Not Taken popular?
A．It is simple to interpret.
B．Its author is the most famous.
C．Its scene is similar to real situations in life.
D．It expresses a kind of mysterious poetic imagery.
C 解析：细节理解题。根据第一段的The popularity of the poem is largely a result of the simplicity of its symbolism 可知，这首诗很出名是因为诗中的场景和真实生活中的情境很相似，容易与读者产生共鸣。
6.What do we know about the two roads according to the second stanza?
A．Very few people can choose both roads.
B．The two roads are actually the same.
C．One of the roads seems better.
D．Both roads are easy to choose.
C 解析：细节理解题。根据第三段的In this stanza and the next, one road seems preferable可知，在诗中描述的两条路中，其中一条路似乎更好。
7. How would the speaker feel years later according to the author?
A．He would keep dreaming of going back.
B．The choice he made changed his life greatly.
C．He had chosen the better one of the two roads.
D．The road not taken could have made him happier.
B 解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段第二句中的which may make a big difference to his life可知，多年以后，the speaker会意识到他选择的路改变了他的人生。

Few things are as frightening as being caught in tornados. 1.________Fortunately, there are steps you can take to prepare and keep yourself and your loved ones safe.
2．________Your chosen location could be a basement, bathroom, closet, or inner hallway. And it should be on the lowest level of the building. If you live in a very tall building, it may be impossible to reach the bottom floor quickly. In such a situation, it is best to stay in a hallway at the center of the building.
Create a disaster?supply kit. Be sure to include a complete first aid kit, canned food, and a can opener. You’ll also need a minimum of 3 gallons (11.3 liters) of water per person, a battery?powered radio, and a flashlight. Secure extra batteries as well. 3.________
Periodic disaster drills(演习) can help you prepare for a tornado. Such drills will keep your disaster plan fresh in the mind of your household members. 4.________You should also pay attention to storm information provided by local television and radio stations.
Often, individuals believe that only those living in tornado alley(飓风带) need to prepare for dangerous weather. 5.________ In fact, they’ve occurred in every part of the United States and can form in any season of the year. As such, it is wise to take the time to prepare for a tornado, no matter where you live.

B．Remember to return home as soon as possible.
C．Stay calm when you or other people get injured.
D．These help ensure that everyone remains well prepared.
E．They are among nature’s most violent and deadly storms.
F．Choose a meeting place for your family members or roommates.
G．Preparing protective clothing for each member is also necessary.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了应对飓风的一些实用措施。
1．E 解析：此空设于段中，是一个过渡句。上文提到遭遇飓风十分可怕，下文提到幸好有应对方法，可知该句进一步说明飓风的可怕之处。选项E中的They指代前一句中的tornados。
2．F 解析：此空设于段首，引出下文内容。根据下文Your chosen location...be on the lowest level of the building...In such a situation可知，本段主要介绍如何选择防灾集合地点。
3．G 解析：此空设于段尾，是对上文内容的进一步说明。上文主要介绍了应准备的防灾应急物品，因此防护服也包含在内。
4．D 解析：此空设于段中，承接上文内容。上文提到防灾演习可以让人有应对灾难的心理，因此这有利于每个家庭成员都准备充分。选项D中的These指代前一句的Such drills。
5．A 解析：此空设于段中，是一个过渡句。上文提到人们认为只有生活在飓风带上的人应当为危险天气做准备，后文提到飓风可能发生在任何地点，由此可知前一句的观点是错误的。

The sense of sound occurs when the vibrations(震动) from sounds enter our ears and cause hair cells to move back and forth.The hair cells transform this movement into an electrical signal that the brain can use.How well a person can hear largely depends on how complete these hair cells are.Once lost, they won’t return—and this is no different for blind people.So blind people can’t physically hear better than others.
Yet blind people often outperform sighted people in hearing tasks such as locating the source of sounds.The reason for this becomes clear when we look beyond the sensory organs.
Awareness occurs when the brain explains signals that our sensory organs provide.Different parts of the brain respond to the information arriving from different sensory organs.There are different areas for processing visual and sound information.But when a sense like vision is lost, the brain can reorganize the functions of these brain areas.In blind people, the visual area gets a bit bored without visual information and starts to renew itself, becoming more sensitive to information from the other remaining senses.So blind people may have lost their vision, but this leaves a larger brain capacity for processing the information from other senses.
How well the brain reorganizes depends on when someone loses their sight.The brain can reorganize itself at any point in life, but during childhood the brain is more able to adapt to change.Because during childhood the brain is still developing and the new organization of the brain does not have to compete with an existing one.
Blind people will also rely more on their remaining senses to do everyday tasks, which means that they train their remaining senses on a daily basis.The reorganized brain together with the greater experience in using their remaining senses is considered as an important factor in blind people having an edge over sighted people in hearing and touch.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文，主要分析了盲人在听力等其他感官上表现更突出的原因。
1．What can we learn from the first paragraph?
A．The hair cells are unable to grow back if lost.
B．The hair cells of the disabled are less complete.
C．Our brain can control the movement of hair cells.
D．Complete hair cells contribute to better mental health.
A 解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中的Once lost，they won’t return...no different for blind people.可知，耳部毛细胞一旦消失就无法恢复了。
2．People who have been blind from a very early age may ________．
A．be confident in performing hearing tasks
B．have difficulty adapting to changes in life
C．be less skilled in learning than deaf adults
D．show a better level of reorganization in the brain
D 解析：推理判断题。根据第四段How well the brain reorganizes depends on...during childhood the brain is more able to adapt to change...does not have to compete with an existing one.可推断，失去视力的时间越早，盲人脑部感官信息重组的能力越强。
3．What does the passage mainly talk about?
A．The relationship between hearing and eyesight.
B．Why blind people perform better in other senses.
C．The role of our brain in improving our adaptability.
D．How we can improve hearing by learning from the blind.
B 解析：主旨大意题。根据第二段Yet blind people often outperform sighted people in hearing tasks...和文章大意可知，本文主要分析了盲人在其他感官上表现更突出的原因。

Language experts say that as many as half of the 6，900 languages spoken in the world today are endangered.This means that by the year 2050 over 3，000 languages will have become extinct.Four of the most likely languages to disappear are listed below.
Yuchi
Yuchi is a language spoken by just five people all aged over 75 in Oklahoma, USA.They are members of a Native American Indian group of people called the Tsoyaha, meaning Children of the Sun.Its nouns have ten genders(性), six for Yuchi people, one for non?Yuchis and animals and three for inanimate objects.
Jeru
Jeru is an Andamanese language spoken by fewer than 20 people on the Andaman Islands in the Indian Ocean.These languages are generally believed to be the only ones in South?east Asia surviving from ancient times.They are thought to date back to a settlement of the area by the first humans to leave Africa.
Thao
Among the inhabitants(居民) of Sun Moon Lake in central Taiwan, China are a handful of old people that speak the Austronesian language of Thao.The rest of the community speaks Taiwanese Chinese.The language of Thao is related to others in the Philippines, Indonesia, and the Pacific.
Ainu
This language is spoken by the original inhabitants of Japan.It is used by a small number of old people on the island of Hokkaido in the far north of the country.Ainu has very complex verbs that include meanings most languages need a whole sentence to express.

Unless you are fortunate enough to know an NBA player, Ryan Martin is probably the best basketball player you’ll ever meet.Unlike those who fly up and down the court(球场), however, Martin is forced to take a different approach; he doesn’t have legs.
Martin, a 33?year?old man, is a professional wheelchair basketball player.His achievements have taken him halfway around the world to play in Spain for the last seven years.There he made a comfortable living playing basketball and working with some of the greatest athletes in the world.
“A good wheelchair player can make $50，000 a year, while a star can make six figures，” said Martin.But he couldn’t see his family for months and European cities were unfriendly to the disabled.He also had to learn Spanish.Martin, however, overcame those drawbacks(困难)．
He started by playing basketball when he was 12.It didn’t take long for him to fall in love with the sport and, after graduating from Somers High, he attended Southwest Minnesota State University on a basketball scholarship.In college, he scored over 1，000 points in his career and set several school records.
And he works as hard—if not harder—than any other professional athlete.“He destroys me，” said Gina Navarra, who works out with Martin on occasion.“What he does amazes me.”
Martin also recognizes that, at age 33, he’s in the back end of his career.With that in mind, he has been focusing more and more on his foundation.
“I have 12 brothers and sisters.College gave me a true sense of achievement.The foundation is designed to give those with disabilities the opportunity to realize the dreams that I once had，” Martin said.
“I’m not saying that out of a sense of pity，” he said.“I realize how fortunate I am to have achieved what I have.But I want to open doors for people.”

Many scientists believe our love of sugar may actually be an addiction.When we eat or drink sugary foods, the sugar enters our blood and affects parts of our brain that make us feel good.Then the good feeling goes away, leaving us wanting more.All tasty foods do this, but sugar has a particularly strong effect.In this way, it is in fact an addictive drug, one that doctors suggest we all cut down on.
“It seems like every time I study an illness and search for the first cause, I find my way back to sugar，” says scientist Richard Johnson.One?third of adults worldwide have high blood pressure, and up to 347 million have diabetes(糖尿病)．Why? “Sugar, we believe is one of the culprits,__if not the major reason，” says Johnson.
Our bodies are designed to survive on very little sugar.Early humans often had very little food, so our bodies learned to be very efficient in storing sugar as fat.In this way, we had energy stored for when there was no food.But today, most people have more than enough.So the very thing that once saved us may now be killing us.
So what is the solution? It’s obvious that we need to eat less sugar.The trouble is, in today’s world, it’s extremely difficult to avoid. From breakfast cereals(谷物) to after?dinner desserts, our foods are increasingly filled with it.
But there are those who are fighting back against sugar.Many schools are replacing sugary desserts with healthier food like fruit.Other schools are growing their own food in gardens, or building facilities(设施) like walking tracks so students and others in the community can exercise.

29．What does the underlined word“culprits”probably mean?
A．Diseases. B．Poor diets.
C．Unknown things. D．Causes of a problem.
D 解析：词义猜测题。根据第二段中的 Sugar，we believe is one of the culprits,__if not the major reason可知，culprits与reason同义。
30．Why is it so hard to avoid sugar?

When you buy fresh?cut flowers, do you think about where they came from? You might think they were grown somewhere nearby.The reality, though, is that the cut flower trade is increasingly international. Today, thanks to airplanes and high?tech cooling systems, even the most delicate flower can be exported and sold thousands of kilometers away from where it was grown.
The Netherlands handles about 60 percent of the world’s cut flowers.And its auction houses(拍卖行) are very large—Aalsmeer, near Amsterdam, is an auction house in the sense that Tokyo is a city, or Everest a mountain.About 120 soccer fields would fill its main building.Nineteen million flowers are sold here on an average day.
The Netherlands is also a world leader in developing new flower varieties.Dutch companies and the government invest(投资) a great amount of money in flower research.Their scientists look for ways to lengthen a flower’s vase life, to strengthen flowers to prevent them from being damaged while travelling, and also to strengthen the natural fragrance of the flowers.
There are also many other places with a better climate for growing flowers, and the climate of Ecuador is almost perfect.With predictable rainy periods and 12 hours of sunlight each day, Ecuador’s roses are famous for their large heads and long, straight stems.Every year, Ecuador sells about 500 million flowers to the U．S.alone.The industry has brought employment opportunities and a stronger economy to the country.“My family has TV now.There are radios，” says Yolanda Quishpe, 20, who picked roses for four years.
To others, the increasingly international nature of the flower trade is very bad news.In recent years, local growers in the U．S.faced huge competition from international flower companies, and many lost their businesses.Lina Hale, an independent rose grower said her father had predicted the situation in the 1980s.“I see a train coming down the track，” he warned her，“and it’s coming straight towards us.”

One possible version：
Dear__Sir__or__Madam，
I really enjoy the food and service in our dining hall.However, I have found some problems recently and I’m writing to offer my advice.
First, some students order more than what they can eat, leaving too much food untouched.I wonder if you could take measures to encourage students to form good habits and avoid wasting food and money.What’s more, there’re many international students who have different customs in our school. So I wonder if you could provide more varieties of food.
I would appreciate it if you could take my advice into consideration.I’m looking forward to your reply.
Yours__sincerely，
Li__Hua
