新的研究显示,度假不仅让你在当时感觉良好,而且给你的健康带来的益处可维持数月之久。
Going on holiday not only makes you feel good while you’re there—you enjoy the health benefits(好处) for months, new research shows. Flying to some places such as the Maldives will cut your blood pressure, help you sleep better and free you from stress. The benefits last at least two weeks longer than the vacation and can be felt for months in some cases it is claimed(声称). Experts say workers should always take their full holiday rights each year—as many as one in three don’t enjoy the benefits. The study compared key health markers in holidaymakers visiting Thailand, Peru or the Maldives, with people who stayed at home and continued working. The average
blood pressure of those on holiday dropped by six percent while the workers saw their blood pressure rise by two percent over the same period. The sleep quality of holidaymakers improved by 17 percent while that of the non-holidaymakers dropped by 14 percent. The study also found the ability of vacationers to recover from stress improved by 29 percent. There was a 71 percent fall in stress resilience (恢复力)scores among workers. Tests showed a fall in blood pressure levels. Going on holiday will help you reduce the risk of diabetes (糖尿病)and make your waistline smaller. In addition, the good effects will last for at least two weeks after returning home. Therefore, try to enjoy your holiday when you are free!

Chinese people are now spending more time surfing the Net than watching TV,according to the results of a survey by the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (CASS) published on Thursday.

About 63 percent of the interviewees use e-mail. The average time spent surfing the Net and watching TV were 2.73 hours and 1.29 hours,respectively.

More and more people have taken an interest in the entertainment opportunities online. Up to 56.5 percent of interviewees quite often download music,and 53.5 percent get entertainment messages from the Internet.
Yet the survey found that television is still the dominant mass medium. Seventy-nine percent of interviewees choose to watch TV to get information,and another 75 percent take newspapers as important as TV.
Five major websites in the Chinese language,namely Sina,Sohu,Netease,Baidu and Yahoo are still ranked top ones by web users,and those that voted for Sina as the best among them were 30.9 percent.

Many people like traveling, but they cannot take their dogs wherever they go. Some people let their dogs stay alone at home while others ask someone else to take care of their pets. If you’re leaving your beloved pet at home for a holiday, it can turn into a bad experience. Luckily, you don’t have to worry about your dogs anymore because Rover can cover for you while you are on leave. Rover is the latest service to offer at-home dog boarding. It’s a good alternative (替代物)to boarding your dog at a dog boarding kennel(狗舍)or your neighbor’s house.
The way Rover works is sort of like Airbnb. Dog owners browse the “search” section of the site or app for pet sitters, which can be organized by zip code and available dates. Information of pet sitters is provided, complete with many reviews, specific services and rates. Now Rover has over 25,000 pet sitters in more than 5,000 US cities. And they’re all experienced pet sitters.
After finding someone that meets your needs, just send messages to the pet sitter to arrange a meeting. Then, like Rover says, all that is left to do is relax! Rover’s pet sitters are encouraged to send text and picture information throughout the day, and if there’s a medical emergency, the site will send a vet. Besides, don’t worry about a pet sitter who falls through, because someone else will soon take his or her place.

Eating processed meat can cause cancer, World Health Organization experts said on Monday.
Processed meat is meat that has been preserved by curing, salting, smoking, drying or canning. Experts from the WHO’s International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) in Lyon, France, studied 800 cases. IARC researchers linked processed meat, such as hot dogs and ham, to bowel cancer, as well as pancreatic cancer and prostate cancer.
The IARC has included processed meat in its group 1 list, for which there is “sufficient evidence” of links to cancer. Tobacco, asbestos, and diesel fumes are also on the group 1 list. WHO experts also called red meat, including beef, lamb and pork, “probably” carcinogenic (致癌的) to humans.
Dr. Kurt Straif is with the IARC. He said in a statement that the risk of cancer increases with the amount of meat a person eats. A person who consumes 50 grams of processed meat per day—about two pieces of bacon—increases his or her risk of bowel cancer by 18 percent. Health experts in some countries already advise against eating large amounts of red and processed meat. But those advisories had been centered on the increased risks of heart disease and obesity.
Meat industry groups are protesting the WHO study. They say that meat is part of a balanced diet. They also say the causes of cancer are broad, and include environmental and lifestyle factors.
The WHO report cited the Global Burden of Disease project, which estimates that diets high in processed meat lead to 34,000 cancer deaths per year worldwide.
【解题导语】 全文主要介绍的是世界卫生组织(WHO)的意向研究结果,即“过量食用红色肉类或者加工过的肉类,人们会得癌症”。
8.According to the text, which of the following does not belong to red meat?
A.Pork. B.Chicken.
C.Beef. D.Lamb.
B 解析:细节理解题。根据第三段中的信息“WHO experts also called red meat, including beef, lamb and pork,...”可知,chicken不属于red meat。
9.In Dr. Kurt’s view, which of the following statement is TRUE?
A.Meat is absolutely harmful to people’s health.
B.Eating meat can cause bowel cancer for sure.
C.A person will not develop cancer if he or she consumes less than 50 grams of processed meat a day.
D.The more a person eats red or processed meat, the more likely he is to suffer from bowel cancer.
D 解析:细节理解题。根据第四段中的“He said in a statement that the risk of cancer increases with the amount of meat a person eats.”(患癌症的风险伴随着一个人吃肉的数量而增加)。即“一个人吃红色肉类或加工过的肉类越多,患癌症的可能性就越大”。由此可知选D项。
10.The main idea of the last but one paragraph is ________.
A.Meat industries’ protest against the study of WHO on red and processed meat.
B.Red meat and processed meat are considered a balanced diet by some meat industries.
C.There are some other factors causing cancer.
D.Bad environment and unhealthy lifestyle may result in cancer to some extent.
A 解析:段落大意题。根据倒数第二段的首句可知,该段主要谈及的是一些肉类加工业对于世界卫生组织的研究结果表示的抗议。由此可知选A项。
11.The best title of the text might be ________.
A.Factors Causing Cancers
B.A New WHO Study on Meat
C.WHO: Red and Processed Meat Can Cause Cancer
D.Meat Industry’s Protest against the Study on Meat
C 解析:标题归纳题。综合全文内容可知,全文主要介绍的是世界卫生组织(WHO)的意向研究结果,即“过量食用红色肉类或者加工过的肉类,人们会得癌症”。C项全面地概括了该主题。

Linda Evans was my best friend—like the sister I never had. We did everything together: piano lessons, movies, swimming, horseback riding.
When I was 13, my family moved away. Linda and I kept in touch through letters, and we saw each other on special time—like my wedding and Linda’s. Soon we were busy with children and moving to new homes, and we wrote less often. One day a card that I sent came back, stamped “Address Unknown.” I had no idea how to find Linda.
Over the years, I missed Linda very much. I wanted to share happiness of my children and then grandchildren. And I needed to share my sadness when my brother and then mother died. There was an empty place in my heart that only a friend like Linda could fill.
One day I was reading a newspaper when I noticed a photo of a young woman who looked very much like Linda and whose last name was Wagman—Linda’s married name. “There must be thousands of Wagmans,” I thought, but I still wrote to her.
She called as soon as she got my letter. “Mrs Tobin!” she said excitedly, “Linda Evans Wagman is my mother.”
Minutes later I heard a voice that I knew very much, even after 40 years, laughed and cried and caught up on each other’s lives. Now the empty place in my heart is filled. And there’s one thing that Linda and I know for sure: We won’t lose each other again!

Residents of Guangdong Province are raising the most pets of any province on the Chinese mainland, tallying more than 10 percent of the 100 million pets registered nationwide, a recent survey reported.
One in every 13 people in China is raising a pet, on average, with dogs and cats accounting for about 80 percent the total, though tortoises have been seeing a rapid increase in the recent years. Guangdong is followed in pet popularity by Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shanghai, Beijing and Shandong, said the survey by Zhongjinqixin, an international information consultant in Beijing. Among cities, Guangzhou, the capital of Guangdong, is among the top five in pet ownership on the mainland. The others are Beijing, Shanghai, Chongqing and Wuhan.
The United States, for example, has registered more than 400 million pets, 1.3 times more than the country’s population, he said. Among pet owners, nearly 62 percent raise dogs, more than 19 percent raise cats and more than 6 percent have tortoises at home. Other popular pets include fish, rabbits and birds. “Many residents are now raising tortoises as pets at home, as tortoises indicate longevity in the minds of Chinese,” said a man surnamed Li, who lives in Guangzhou, and has been caring for a pair of tortoises for the past three years. “My family has treated the tortoises as our family members,” he said.
Most pet owners are younger than 45. The survey found that 6 percent were younger than 25, 37 percent were aged between 25 and 30, 24 percent were between 31 to 35 and 18 percent were aged 36 to 45. Those older than 45 were just 8 percent of the total.

Tim Richter and his wife, Linda, had taught for over 30 years near Buffalo, New York—he in computers, she in special education.“Teaching means everything to us,” Tim would say. In April 1998, he learned he would need a heart operation. It was the kind of news that leads to some serious thinking about life’s purpose.
Not long after the surgery, Tim saw a brochure describing Imagination Library, a program started by Dolly Parton’s foundation that mailed a book every month to children from birth to age five in the singer’s hometown of Sevier, Tennessee. “I thought, maybe Linda and I could do something like this when we retire,”Tim recalls. He placed the brochure on his desk,“as a reminder”.
Five years later, now retired and with that brochure still on the desk, Tim clicked on imagination library.com. The program had been opened up to partners who could take advantage of book and postage discounts.
The quality of the books was of great concern to the Richters. Rather than sign up online, they went to Dollywood for a look-see. “We didn’t want to give the children rubbish,” says Linda. The books reviewed each year by teachers, literacy specialists and Dollywood board members included classics such as Ezra Jack Keats’s The Snowy Day and newer books like Anna Dewdney’s Llama Llama series.
Satisfied, the couple set up the Richter Family Foundation and got to work. Since 2004, they have shipped more than 12,200 books to preschoolers in their area. Megan Williams, a mother of four, is more than appreciative: “This program introduces us to books I’ve never heard of.”
The Richters spend about $400 a month sending books to 200 children. “Some people sit there and wait to die,” says Tim. “Others get as busy as they can in the time they have left.”

A city without cars would be very strange, right? But Venice is such a city.
Venice is in the northeast of Italy. It wasn’t built on land, like Beijing or Shanghai, but on more than 110 islands. Seawater is everywhere around the city.
Even so, travel isn’t difficult. The waterways have always been the best way to get around. There are 117 waterways and more than 400 bridges that can guide you where you want to go. People in Venice move from place to place by boat.
Water makes the city special, but it is also a big problem. Sometimes tourists will have such strange experiences. One moment they walk across the Rialto Bridge, and there’s nothing special. But when they come back to the bridge an hour later, it’s underwater and everyone is wearing rain shoes.
Once, people used too much underground water. This made the city get lower little by little. Now the city has gone down by 23 centimeters. Another problem is the rising seawater. The temperature has risen over the years. This has made the ice of the Arctic Ocean melt. Every year, high waters hit the city in autumn and winter. When a lot of water comes, more than half of the city is underwater.
Scientists are trying different ways to stop the city from getting even lower. The Italian government has asked some of Italy’s biggest companies to build the MOST project, which was planned to be built under the seawater to stop the rising water. Anyway, this project is helping solve the problem.

阅读理解
A
It was another frustrating day. I came home from school, changed my clothes and got ready for work. I worked at a local restaurant in town.
I went to work feeling down-and-out. And to make matters worse, my work here was the same thing over and over again. Dealing with customers who complained about their food that was being served was too big or too small.
Three elderly ladies walked in and sat by the window. They watched how I was working.
When they finished their meals, I went over to clean their table. They talked to me for a while about school, how I was doing, what grade I was in and what I planned to do in the future.
As they were leaving, they walked past me and one of them said to me in a confident, gentle voice,“You are going places.”And that was it. They left the restaurant and I was pretty much in awe(赞叹). I had tears in my eyes, because they gave me reasons to believe in myself. They picked my spirit up from being down-and-out and gave me a reason to keep on working hard and to give it my all.
People used to tell me that I couldn’t have a career in television until I had a degree and was out of college. I’m now the host of a student-produced television show. And the best thing is that I’m only 17 years old and I am a senior in high school.

“If you want to see a thing well, reach out and touch it!”
That may seem a strange thing to say. But touching things can help you to see them better. Your eyes can tell you that a glass ball is round. But by holding it in your hands, you can feel how smooth and cool the ball is. You can feel how heavy the glass is. When you feel all these about the ball, you really see it. With your skin, you can feel better. For example, your fingers can tell the difference between two coins in your pocket. You can feel a little drop of water on the back of your hand, too.
All children soon learn what “Don’t touch!” means. They hear it often. Yet most of us keep on touching things as we grow up. In shops, we touch things as we might buy food, clothes and so on. To see something well, we have to touch it.
There are ways of learning to see well by feeling. One way is to close your eyes and try to feel everything that is touching your skin. Feel the shoes on your feet, the clothes on your body, the air on your skin. At first, it is not easy to feel these things. You are too used to them!
Most museums are just for looking. But today some museums have some things to touch. Their signs say, “Do touch!” There you can feel everything on show. If we want to see better, reach out and touch. Then you will really see!
【解题导语】 本文说的是一个道理:如果你想真正地了解一个东西,那么就去触摸它,这样你才能看得更真切。
5.By touching things, ________.
A.you will have a strange feeling
B.you will learn how to use your hand
C.you can learn more about them
D.you can tell what colours they are

A.try them on first
B.keep their right hands on them
C.ask about them
D.feel and touch them
D 解析:细节理解题。根据第三段的In shops, we touch things as we might buy food, clothes and so on. To see something well, we have to touch it.可知,在商店里买东西时,人们往往要触摸这些东西,感觉一下质量。
7.Why does the writer say “At first, it is not easy to feel these things”?Because ________.
A.the things are used by people, too
B.people feel the things too often
C.people know how to use the things
D.the things are easy to feel
B 解析:细节理解题。根据第四段的At first, it is not easy to feel these things. You are too used to them!可知,这是因为人们触摸东西太过经常了,以至于都习惯了。
8.________museums today have things for you to touch.
A.No B.Some
C.Most D.All
B 解析:细节理解题。根据最后一段的Most museums are just for looking. But today some museums have some things to touch.可知,现在有些博物馆是让游客触摸一些展品的。故选B项。

As I was walking home, a boy seemed to be singing a song in a very low voice, walking in front of me and carrying some of the same high school books I had with me. I caught up to him, and said “Hello”. I could tell he was startled, and dropped one of his books. I picked it up and as I handed it to him, he said “Thank you” in a strange way, like with a strong accent.
We soon began walking together and talking. It turns out he was in my science class, and I didn’t even know it!
His name was Ahmad, and his family had just moved here this school year. He invited me into his house, and his family treated me like a special guest, which made me feel very welcome. He said hospitality(好客) is very basic to his culture, and strangers were always treated very kindly. His mom brought out some great food, and offered me some tea. Ahmad’s father and two sisters wanted to hear all about me and my family, and my schooling.
Ahmad’s whole family had to leave their lifelong home because war had broken out, and it wasn’t safe there anymore. They left with only what they could carry. His family was happy to feel safe, and they got used to American culture quickly. They seemed pleased that Ahmad had brought a friend home to meet them.
And as my friendship with Ahmad has continued, I now realize that the world is so much bigger than I thought! I also realize that your friends don’t have to be just like you. Differences make the world go round.

Paul lives in a small village in the north of England.
I usually get up at four o’clock every morning when it’s still dark. I live and work on the farm so I don’t need to travel. After a big breakfast in my house, I walk out of the front door and I’m already at work.

We take a weekend break there when I am not too busy on the farm. My wife loves looking in the clothes shops and I like all the crowds and the noise. I also like to buy a few cigars.

At heart, parents always wish the best for their children, and they work hard for that. Nowadays, we see parents deciding the schools for their little ones before the baby is even born. Once kids start going to school, some parents want to have a time-to-time update(最新的情况) of their kid’s activities. They want to come to their classrooms every day, keep an eye on whom they talk to, know the friends they keep, start telling them how to do their jobs, and keep talking to them about everything under the sun. Besides, they send their kids to extra hobby classes, as they want their children to do best in every field.
When it comes to the education, super mum and dad have all the plans made for their children, and I am sure that they have come up with the best. So, try to fight for the dreams that your parents have seen for you. However, in some cases, it may happen that the kids have some different dreams. Parents sometimes don’t even consider the choices of their kids and may force them to do what they wanted to do in life. It’s good to plan the future for the children, but leave at least some decisions to them.
So what should the children do? First, hear out all the plans that your parents have made for you. If you have some different ideas, then sit down and talk to your family about it. Be patient and respect their decisions, but put your plan forth, and make them understand what you want to do and why. Many times, you don’t know the difficulties that you may have to face while pursuing your dreams. Ask your parents for suggestions, which will make them feel good and involved. That way, they may support you if you are going on the right path.

Bears and humans often meet in National Parks. Although campers and hikers are warned not to feed the bears, many people ignore these warnings and feed the beasts anyway. When bears are used to people’s food, problems soon arise.
Bears like to eat a large variety of things, both meat and vegetables. Without human assistance, bears live nicely on roots, twigs, leaves of trees, insects and small animals. With people around, the bears’ tastes quickly expand to include sandwiches, hot dogs, hamburgers, and anything else they can tempt humans into giving up.
Bears often develop clever strategies for getting people to let go of their food supplies. More often than not, an unsuspecting hiker has taken off his or her pack for a rest only to have a bear charge out of the woods, grab the pack and quickly disappear into the underbrush with it. Hanging the pack on a tree branch won’t help. Bears have been known to climb up, jump off, and catch the pack on the way down. One mother bear stretched up with her baby on her shoulders to reach a pack stored on a pole. Many bears threaten people into giving up their supplies. Although a bear is unlikely to attack a person and would probably run away if screamed at, few people are willing to do so. Most people drop the pack and run the other way. This, of course, delights the bear. In some places, the Park Service installed some metal barrels with lids to help campers keep their supplies safe from bears. Although the bears were unable to open these containers, the effort was less than successful. Most campers, unable to tell the metal drums from rubbish cans, never used them for the intended purpose.

A.bears were clever enough to get the food in them

In Britain, Australia, Canada and a few other English-speaking countries, people don’t stop celebrating when Christmas Day is over—they also celebrate the following day, known as Boxing Day. Boxing Day has nothing to do with the sport of boxing. In fact, it is a popular day for giving additional gifts. Boxing Day has been celebrated for so long, but it is not known how it started.
Some people believe Boxing Day began in the Middle Ages. In those days, churches had a special collection box into which people threw money for the poor. The day after Christmas the box was opened, and the money was counted. Then the money was given to the poor in the area. Others believe Boxing Day started about 300 years ago when nobles(贵族) hosted Christmas feasts,offering lots of food to many guests. Because many servants were needed to make and serve the food, they could not celebrate Christmas with their families. As a gesture of thanks, the nobles would have leftover food put into boxes for their servants to take home.
Now Boxing Day has become a public holiday in the countries that celebrate it. Although most offices and businesses close, malls are full of people looking for low prices on Christmas goods. Some people spend the day making boxes of old or unwanted things and donating(捐赠) them to the Poor. Many people donate their time to help service organizations like the Red Cross.
No matter how Boxing Day got its start,it’s a wonderful time to donate things or give small gifts to people. By doing so you can make someone’s holiday much happier.

1.where 解析:考查定语从句的引导词。此处引导定语从句, 修饰the big city, 从句中不缺主语或宾语, 故用where引导。
2.was looking 解析:考查动词的时态。此处意为:一天他正在找一所房子,这时他看到了报纸上的一则广告。故用过去进行时。
3.at 解析:考查介词的用法。表示“在某个价位上”, 用介词at。
4.trains 解析:考查主谓一致。由上文的there were可知, 此处用名词复数。
5.what 解析:考查名词性从句的引导词。此处引导表语从句, 并在从句中作宾语。故用what。
6.to have 解析:考查非谓语动词。此处是不定式作目的状语。
7.took 解析:考查动词的时态。此处表示过去的某个动作, 用一般过去时。
8.angrily 解析:考查副词的用法。此处修饰动词said, 故用副词。
9.interested 解析:考查非谓语动词。此处是固定搭配:be interested to do sth.很有兴趣做某事。
10.the 解析:考查冠词的用法。此处指上文提到的名词, 用定冠词the。

如何写私人信件
文体感知
私人信件通常包括以下五个部分:
1.信头(Heading)
信头包括写信人的地址和日期, 通常写在信笺的右上角, 顺序是先写地址, 后写日期。地址和日期的写法都要符合英语的习惯。写地址应由小到大:门牌号码、 街名、 城(县)名、 省名、 国名。日期常见的写法有:
(1)月、 日、 年(如October 1, 2017或Oct.1st, 2017)
(2)日、 月、 年(如1st Oct., 2017)
一般来说, 美国用第一种写法, 英国用第二种写法。
2.称呼(Salutation)
英文信里的称呼一般以Dear...或My dear...开头。在称呼后面一般用逗号。
3.正文(Body)
正文是书信的主体部分, 应在称呼下两行开始。
如果是写回信, 通常应先提到收到对方的信, 并表示感谢, 如Thank you for your letter of August 7, 2017, 然后再回答对方的问题或者陈述自己的意见。
4.结束语(Tag)
谦称和结束语位于正文之后, 它相当于中文信末尾的“祝你健康”“此致敬礼”“……敬上”等。例如:
在熟悉的人之间常用Sincerely yours, Yours sincerely, 在不太熟悉而应该客气的人之间常用Truly yours, Yours truly等。
5.签名(Signature)
签名的位置在谦称语下面一行至二行。除了对熟悉或亲密的人以外, 签名必须写全姓名,如有必要, 可在签名之后加一附加语(postscript), 常缩写成PS.。

A
Last week my youngest son and I visited my father at his new home in Tucson, Arizona.He moved there a few years ago, and I was eager to see his new place and meet his friends.
My earliest memories of my father are a tall, handsome, successful man devoted to his work and his family, but uncomfortable with his children. As a child I loved him. He seemed unhappy with me unless I got straight A’s and unhappy with my boyfriends if their fathers were not as “successful” as he was. Whenever I went out with him on weekends, I used to struggle to think up things to say, feeling on guard.
On the first day of my visit, we went out with one of my father’s friends for lunch at an outdoor café. We talked along that afternoon, did some shopping, ate on the street table, and laughed over my son’s funny facial expressions. Gone were my father’s critical(挑剔的) air and strict rules. Who was this person I knew as my father, who seemed so friendly and interesting to be around? What had held him back before?
The next day dad pulled out his childhood pictures and told me quite a few stories about his own childhood.Although our times together became easier over the years, I never felt closer to him at that moment. After so many years, I’m at last seeing another side of my father. And in so doing, I’m delighted with my new friend. My dad, in his new home in Arizona, is back to me from where he was.
【解题导语】 作者在本文中介绍了自己的父亲。在作者的记忆中,父亲对自己非常严格以至于作者都不敢接近父亲,但是后来作者和儿子去Tucson看望父亲时,作者看到了父亲的另一面,从而感觉和父亲的关系比以前亲近了,可以做朋友了。
1.Why did the author feel bitter about her father as a young adult?
A.He was silent most of the time.
B.He was too proud of himself.
C.He did not love his daughter.
D.He expected too much of her.
D 解析:推理判断题。根据文中第二段的He seemed unhappy with me unless I got straight A’s and unhappy with my boyfriends if their fathers were not as “successful” as he was.可知答案。
2.When the author went out with her father on weekends, she would feel ________.
A.nervous B.sorry
C.tired D.safe
A 解析:推理判断题。根据文中第二段的Whenever I went out with him on weekends, I used to struggle to think up things to say, feeling on guard.可知答案。
3.What does the author think of her father after her visit to Tucson?
A.More critical.
B.More talkative.
C.Gentle and friendly.
D.Strict and hard-working.
C 解析:推理判断题。根据文中第三段的Gone were my father’s critical(挑剔的) air and strict rules. Who was this person I knew as my father, who seemed so friendly and interesting to be around?可知答案。
4.The underlined words “my new friend” in the last paragraph refer to “________”.
A.the author’s son
B.the author’s father

These people are studying English. However, they are now facing some problems.
I am Pablo. I work 50 hours a week as a taxi driver, so I talk to people all day. They understand me, but I know I make a lot of mistakes. No one corrects me. My vocabulary is strong. Grammar is my problem. I’m trying to change little by little. For example, I don’t use the past tense(时态). I always say, “I drive him to the office this morning” instead of “I drove him to the office this morning”.
My name is Maria Luisa. I’m teaching myself English, and I’m good at grammar. However, it’s really difficult to find ways to practice English. I live in an area where everyone speaks my language. My neighbors and friends speak Spanish. I can speak Spanish in the supermarket and at the post office.
I am Li Ping. I understand the grammar and the readings in my class and I think my writing is good, but I’m very nervous when I speak English. I don’t want to make any mistakes because I’m afraid people will think that I’m stupid. Also, my pronunciation isn’t good. When I speak, people often say, “What? Say that again.”
I am Yoshi. I have been in the United States for one year. I’m studying hard and I know grammar well, but the vocabulary is very difficult. When I listen, I don’t understand many of the words. When I try to read, there are three or four new words in every sentence. I feel discouraged.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了几位英语学习者遇到的一些问题。
5.Who may say, “I go to bed late last night”?
A.Pablo. B.Maria Luisa.
C.Li Ping. D.Yoshi.
A 解析:推理判断题。由第二段中的I don’t use the past tense(时态) 及其后的例子可知,因为Pablo说话时不用过去时态,所以有可能是Pablo所说,故选A项。
6.What would be the best advice for Maria Luisa?
A.Try to have a wide vocabulary.
B.Develop a good knowledge of grammar.
C.Read as many English books as possible.
D.Make friends with English-speaking people.
D 解析:推理判断题。由第三段内容可知Maria Luisa没有讲英语的环境,所以最好的建议应该是和讲英语的人交朋友,故选D项。
7.Why do people find it hard to understand Li Ping’s English?
A.She can’t pronounce words in English correctly.
B.She speaks at a very fast speed.
C.Her grammar is terrible.
D.Her voice is very low.
A 解析:细节理解题。由倒数第二段中的Also, my pronunciation isn’t good. When I speak, people often say, “What? Say that again.”可知,A项说法正确。
8.What can we learn about Yoshi?
A.He was born in the United States.
B.He has a very small vocabulary.
C.He has learned English for years.
D.He is very good at listening.
B 解析:细节理解题。由最后一段中的...the vocabulary is very difficult. When I listen...new words in every sentence.可知,Yoshi的英文词汇贫乏,故选B项。

Jim was a shy boy. He was afraid of talking to 1.____________(strange). As a result, he didn’t have any friends after he entered high school.
One day, when Jim 2.____________(walk) on his way back home from school, it suddenly began to rain 3.____________(heavy). He saw a boy walking in front of him.

The boy was so grateful 9.____________Jim that he thanked Jim again and again.
The following day, the boy saw Jim at school.He thanked Jim again for 10.____________(help) him out. From then on, they often spent time together and became best friends.
【解题导语】 Jim帮助了一个男孩,从而收获了一份友谊。
1.strangers 解析:考查名词。Jim害怕和陌生人说话,故此处用名词strangers做宾语。
2.was walking 解析:考查动词的时态。当突然开始下大雨的时候,Jim正在回家的路上走着。表示过去的某个时间点正在发生的事情,用过去进行时。
3.heavily 解析:考查副词。此处用副词heavily修饰动词rain。
4.the 解析:考查冠词。前面提到了a boy,后面再次出现时用定冠词the。
5.him 解析:考查代词。这里需要填he的宾格形式him作helped的直接宾语。
6.thought 解析:考查动词的时态。think这个动作发生在过去,故需用一般过去时。
7.was told 解析:考查动词的时态和语态。Jim是tell这个动作的承受者,又因为这个动作发生在过去,需用一般过去时的被动语态。
8.so 解析:考查连词。Jim就住在附近,所以他邀请那个男孩去他家里。后面句子是前面句子的结果,故用so。
9.to 解析:考查介词。be grateful to sb. for sth.意为“因为某事而感激某人”。
10.helping 解析:考查非谓语动词。thank sb. for doing sth.意为“感谢某人做了某事”。

A
On my first day of high school, I asked an eleventh-grader where my class was. And he told me it was “on the fourth floor, next to the pool.”I found out five minutes later that we don’t even have a fourth floor and there’s no pool either! Besides that, I didn’t have any trouble with the older kid.
I think the biggest difference between middle and high school is the homework load(工作量) and size of the school. I went from maybe fifteen minutes of homework a night to several hours, so I had to learn how to make full use of time! Our class size is around 550, but joining in clubs, sports, music, and other activities at school makes it easier to get to know people in every grade.
The best advice I can give about the years you spend in high school is to learn things for yourself, not just to get a good grade. There have been so many tests that I’ve prepared for the night before, gotten an A, and not remembered anything later. I’ve changed that this year, and I enjoy school so much more. Don’t take easy classes just to have a simple year. If you have a choice between chemistry and sports, the first will prove to be a lot more useful!
While drinking and smoking might be present in some middle schools, they’re also around in high school. I have a lot of friends who promised they’d never drink or smoke, but are now partying every weekend. If you have “fun” and spend your nights wasted instead of studying, you will regret it when you’re applying for(申请) college. The “friends” who say you’re a loser for not partying are really not your friends at all. It’s hard to see your closest friends grow apart and go in different directions, but don’t follow their footsteps. Create your own path in life and make your own decisions.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了高中生活。
1.What does the author think of high school?
A.It requires hard work.
B.There are very few activities.
C.It’s hard to meet new people there.
D.There isn’t enough time for homework.
A 解析:推理判断题。根据第二段描述进入高中,每晚要写几个小时的作业可知,作者觉得高中学习生活很辛苦。
2.The author advises high school students to________.
A.give up sports
B.choose useful classes
C.try their best to get good grades
D.get ready for tests the night before
B 解析:细节理解题。根据第三段的If you have a choice between... a lot more useful!可知。
3.The text is probably written by________.
A.a high school student
B.a chemistry teacher
C.a college student
D.a sports player
A 解析:推理判断题。根据第三段的I’ve changed that this year, and I enjoy school so much more.可知,作者还在高中上学。
4.The last paragraph mainly tells us________.
A.about the trouble caused by drinking and smoking
B.about the importance of making friends
C.not to go to any party in high school
D.not to lose ourselves in high school
D 解析:段落大意题。作者的一些朋友上了高中后开始抽烟喝酒、虚度时光,作者觉得要和这些所谓的朋友断绝往来,把握好自己的人生,不要重蹈他们的覆辙。由此可知,最后一段主要告诉我们在高中几年的学习生活中,不要迷失了自我。

Jim Knight, a school’s minister(部长) from England, said that he “must try harder” after spelling mistakes were discovered on his website.Among the misspelled words were foce (force),similiar (similar), and acheiving (achieving) etc.Some authors have called one of the mistakes a schoolboy howler and told him he “could do better”.
Mr. Knight said, “When I do my blog(博客) I’ m usually doing it in a hurry on my phone and sometimes I forget the basic rule of checking my work. Clearly I must try harder.” He was generally a good speller but often had problems while spelling words with two “c” s together, such as occurrence.
“As a school’s minister, it’ s important that I set an example and live up to the education I had,” added Mr. Knight, who studied at Cambridge University. He said the public picking him up on the mistakes had been a “helpful reminder(提醒)”.
Richard Drax, one of his friends, said, “It’ s so easy to have a go especially as there is a jokey side to this. As a school’s minister he should be setting an example across the country. Maybe he should try to find another job which is not so demanding(苛求的) on his spelling.”
Another author Minette Walters said she didn’t want to be picky about the mistakes. She said, “He is a nice man,who works very hard and does his best for everyone. But the school report on this would be that he could do better. I’ m not sure the spell check has helped much here.”
Author and historian Stuart Morris said, “On one level the message he is sending out is more important. But I think it is right for anybody in a position of authority(权威) to make an effort to get their basic spelling and grammar right.”
