阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Hot
Science
The
BenefitsExperts
have
found
that
there
are
clear
health
benefits
of
drinking
tea.
Research
has
led
to
the
discovery
that
chemicals
found
in
tea
can
help
prevent
cell
damage.
And
there
is
clear
evidence
that
drinking
three
to
four
cups
of
tea
a
day
will
reduce
the
chances
of
heart
attacks
and
certain
cancers.
Other
health
benefits
include
bone
strengthening
and
protection
against
bad
teeth."Drinking
tea
is
actually
better
for
you
than
drinking
water,"
said
one
doctor.Re-hydrationThere
was
also
some
interesting
information
on
the
qualities
of
tea.
The
research
dispels
the
fear
that
tea
is
dehydrating(脱水）。＂Everyone
assumes
that
caffeine-containing
drinks
such
as
tea
dehydrate,"
a
leading
expert
explained."But
even
if
you
had
a
really
strong
cup
of
tea,you
would
still
have
a
gain
of
fluid（液体）。In
terms
of
fluid
intake,we
recommend
1.5
to
2
litres
per
day,and
that
can
include
tea.
Tea
is
not
dehydrating.
It's
a
healthy
drink."The
Negative
SideThere
was
only
one
bit
of
bad
news
about
tea.Research
suggests
that
tea
can
affect
the
body's
ability
to
absorb
iron
from
food.
This
means
that
people
at
risk
of
anaemia(贫血）should
avoid
drinking
tea
around
mealtimes.

FactsHere
are
some
truly
amazing
tea
facts.
Tea·comes
from
the.leaves
of
a·tree
called
camellia
sinensis.The
tree
can
grow
over
10
metres
tall.
However,
it
is
cut
short
so
that
the
leaves
can
be
taken
easily.Tea
is
grown
in

'Kenya;
Japan,

B
I've
been
writing
since
before
I
could
write.
As
a
kid,
I
dictated
stories
to
my
parents.About
12
years
ago,I
was
living
in
New
York
City
and
pursuing
a
master
in
creative
writing.
For
years
I'd
been
suffering
vision
disorder,but
in
New
York
my
symptoms
worsened.
I
became
unable
to
read
or
write
for
any
considerable
length
of
time.
I
tried
vision
therapy(疗法），an
overhead
projector,a
special
pair
of
glasses-all
in
vain.
Eventually,I
discovered
a
computer
program
for
the
visually
challenged.
As
I
typed,my
words
were
read
aloud
by
an
automated
voice.
With
my
screen
dimmed
to
black,I
relied
entirely
on
audio
feedback
to
know
what
I
had
written.
Facing
the
blank
page
is
worrying,but
facing
the
black
page
is
worse.
The
dark
screen
is
a
sinkhole
that
swallows
creative
hope.
Sentences
disappear
into
it
like
an
astronaut
into
a
black
hole.
I
managed
to
complete
my
master
degree,
but
it
took
me
years
to
adapt
to
my
new
reality.
The
greatest
barrier
seemed
to
be
the
automated
voice,
which
was
like
a
robot
parrot
on
my
shoulder,
and
I
wanted
nothing
more
than
to
drive
it
away.
If
a
pianist
were
forced
to
practice
on
an
untuned
piano,would
it
corrupt
his
ear
over
time?
Of
course,I
could
have
quit
writing
and
stopped
making
myself
suffer.But
it
honestly
never
occurred
to
me-and
I'm
glad
it
didn't.
Last
year,
after
I
told
my
story
on
the
radio,I
was
contacted
by
VocaliD,a
Massachusetts-based
company
that
created
a
voice
modeled
on
my
own.
The
first
time
I
heard
the
voice
they
created,
it
is
so
close
to
my
own
that
the
two
are
nearly
indistinguishable.
I've
only
just
begun
using
this
new
voice.
My
hope
is
that
this
will
restore
a
sense
of
solitude(孤独）
to
my
writing
process,allowing
me
easier
access
to
that
inner
space
where
the
imagination
can
take
over,
and
I
can
forget
myself,
and
the
real
work
can
begin.
The
black
screen
still
exists-it
always
will-but
the
robot
parrot
has
taken
wing.

As
a
CEO
of
a
startup,
you
get
used
to
hearing"no".You
also
face
an
endless
continuation
of
what
feels
like
shocking
crises,
like
nearly
running
out
of
cash,
losing
a
key
customer,discovering
a
widespread
product
failure,
or
having
to
shut
down
operations
because
of
a
global
pandemic.
But
it
turns
out
that
these
disasters
can
actually
be
good
for
you.
In
fact,I'm
not
sure
whether
you
can
innovate
without
them.
Here's
what
all
our
crises
have
taught
me.
It's
good
to
be
uncomfortable.
We
once
had
a
key
customer
request-a
battery
capability
that
we'd
never
developed
before.
The
customer
made
it
clear
that
if
we
couldn't
develop
this
capability,
they'd
be
less
confident
in
our
product.
We
wrestled
with
the
risks,
not
least
of
which
was
the
potential
embarrassment
if
we
couldn't
meet
the
customer's
needs.
We
knew
we'd
face
many
technical
problems
if
we
tried
to
go
into
operation.
Yet
we
decided
to
try
to
satisfy
the
customer,
even
if
it
wasn't
obvious
at
first
how
we
could
get
it
done.
A
few
weeks
later
we
delivered
something
beyond
what
the
customer
had
asked
for,
and
we've
since
grown
this
capability
into
a
powerful
sales
tool
and
potential
revenue
stream-not
to
mention
it
strengthened
our
relationship
with
the
customer.
Short-term
failure
is
good.
A
few
years
ago,
our
company
began
to
expand
our
manufacturing
output
in
response
to
a
customer's
need.
In
the
process
we
discovered
something
unusual
we
hadn't
seen
during
smaller-scale
production.
Our
team
dived
into
failure
analysis,
and
we
finally
put
the
problem
down
to
a
single
material
within
the
battery.
We'd
used
this
material
for
years,
but
now
we
needed
a
replacement.
Once
we
made
that
change,the
battery
quality
and
reliability
greatly
improved.
It's
okay
to
show
weakness.
One
of
my
hardest
days
as
CEO
was
the
day
when
I
found
out
I
was
pregnant.We
were
in
the
middle
of
raising
a
funding
round,
and
I
had
been
traveling
nonstop
for
a
year.
Until
that
day,
I
had
assumed
that
my
role
as
CEO
was
to
display
strength
and
confidence.
With
the
mounting
pressure
I
was
harder
on
myself
than
I
needed
to
be,
and
now
I
had
the
added
stress
of
being
pregnant.I
decided
to
acknowledge
to
my
team
that
I
was
breaking
down.
They
united
together
and
found
ways
to
operate
more
smoothly
and
communicate
more
effectively,
supporting
me
to
focus
my
time
on
most
pressing
goals.
This
gave
me
not
only
the
space
to
plan
for
the
company’s
future,but
also
to
prepare
for
my
own
new
normal:
leading
while
becoming
a
first-time
mother.

Worried
about
the
effect
reality
TV
is
having
on
your
child?
You
aren't
being
overprotective-there's
increasing
evidence
that
these
programmes
can
have
a
big
impact
on
young
people.
When
our
children
are
young,we
tend
to
give
careful
thought
to
how
much
TV
they're
watching
and
whether
or
not
it's
good
for
them.
But
as
they
grow
up,
most
parents
let
their
kids
make
more
independent
choices
about
their
viewing.
However,
if
you've
got
children,
you
may
want
to
stay
attentive.
A
research
indicates
that
some
reality
TV
shows
can
be
every
bit
as
damaging
for
teenage
girls
as
too
many
cartoons
are
for
kids－perhaps
even
worse.
The
truth
is
that
reality
TV
is
anything
but
reality-but
that's
not
necessarily
what
our
children
believe.A
study
for
the
Girl
Scout
Research
Institute
in
the
US
found
that
eight
out
of
ten
girls
aged
between
11
and
17
who
regularly
watch
reality
shows
believe
these
programmes
describe
real
life.
In
fact,much
of
reality
TV
is
a
heavily
manipulated(操控）view
of
what's
really
happening,
and
the
worst
of
it
strengthens
the
sort
of
female
stereotypes(刻板印象）women
have
spent
decades
trying
to
remove.
Many
of
the
women
on
reality
TV
shows
are
acting
out
lives
as
teenage
mothers
or
drama
queens.Strong,hard-working,purposeful
young
women
with
ambitions
beyond
their
looks
are
rare
in
these
programmes.There's
a
widespread
emphasis
on
the
value
of
women
being
about
how
they
look
and
dress,which
gives
young
viewers
the
message
that
being
a
woman
is
all
about
style
and
appearance,
not
what
you
do
or
stand
for.
Cultural
critic
and
writer
Jennifer
Pozner
describes
reality
TV
as
"the
contemporary
backlash（抵制）against
feminism".Imran
Siddiguee,Director
of
Social
Media
and
Outreach,
is
concerned
that
these
programmes
show
the
worst
stereotypes
of
womanhood
and
“normalize"
them
in
what
appear
to
be
everyday
settings."They
offer
such
a
limited
view
of
what
it
is
to
be
a
woman,
and
all
over
the
world
young
girls
are
addicted
to
it,"he
says.
Siddiquee
does
recognize,
however,that
many
girls
themselves
value
reality
TV.Some
say
it
encourages
them
to
think
about
situations
different
from
their
own.
They
also
point
out
that
some
shows
feature
women
running
their
own
successful
businesses.
＂It's
important
to
acknowledge
that
there
are
some
useful
elements
in
reality
TV,"Siddiquee
says."But
many
girls
need
to
be
inspired
to
think
more
critically
about
some
aspects
of
these
shows
so
they're
not
manipulated
by
them
and
so
their
behaviour
doesn't
change
because
of
them."
We
should
encourage
our
children
to
be
critical
thinkers
and
help
them
develop
their
media
literacy.
Whether
reality
TV
is
changing
our
children's
views,
or
whether
they
are
attracted
to
programmes
that
agree
with
their
beliefs,
it's
vital
we
recognize
that
their
viewing
habits
could
strengthen
these
unbalanced
ideals.

＂Our
lives
are
completely
full.
We
may
have
children,aging
parents,
jobs,
partners,and
community,"says
Barbara
Hannah
Grufferman,
author
of
The
Best
of
Everything
After
50.
If
you
don't
have
a
regular
exercise
plan,don't
worry!
There
are
simple
things
you
can
do
to
get
more
exercise,
no
gym
membership
or
hours
of
commitment
required.
Walk-and
make
it
count
Even
if
you're
not
in
shape,
you
can
likely
walk.
And
that's
good
news,
because
many
studies
illustrate
that
it's
one
of
the
best
things
we
can
do
for
our
bodies.
Grufferman
suggests
getting
a
pedometer(计步器），whether
it's
a
simple
mechanical
one,
or
a
FitBit
or
Jawbone.___17___And
then,start
walking
faster
and
longer-most
experts
recommend
walking
10,000
steps
a
day.
Reduce
sitting
You've
probably
heard,"sitting
is
the
new
smoking."Well,this
means
that
loads
of
research
has
shown
that
sitting
for
extended
periods
of
time
can
have
serious
health
consequences
that
range
from
obesity
to
diabetes
and
more.
___18___
It's
also
essential
to
take
breaks
from
your
sit-down
desk.
Run
if
you
can
It
might
seem
out
of
reach
but
if
you
can
add
some
light
running
into
your
daily
walk,
you'll
be
better
for
it.
Running
can
make
you
happier,
strengthen
your
joints,
improve
heart
health,and
improve
your
memory!
___19___
Then,go
for
longer
distances
gradually.
Make
it
a
habit
To
truly
make
exercise-even
the
basics-a
part
of
your
life
you'll
need
to
make
it
a
habit.
＂The
good
news
is
that
it's
never
too
late
to
start,"
says
Grufferman.
___20___
A.
Track
your
steps
because
it's
very
motivating.
B.
But
finding
time
to
get
more
exercise
can
be
challenging.
C.
Make
sure
you
are
more
active
and
have
a
more
enjoyable
life.
D.
Experts
suggest
using
a
standing
desk
at
least
some
of
the
time.
E.
Like
brushing
your
teeth,
you
have
to
build
exercise
into
your
life.
F.
Some
experts
suggest
altermating
jogging
and
walking
to

My

though
I
viewed

For

for

I
chose

you
pop
in

However,
my

___25___
was
shot
because

which
left
me
plenty

time
to
___26___
my

Once

them
to
make

the
___27___
of
my
face,
the
entire
party
___28___in
laughter

After

son.
Batman

He
took
me

with
a
Batman
drawn
on
it,
and
the
Batman
had
a

I
just

it

In

of
fate,
my
mustache
confirmed
what
the
parents
had
said
and

kids
that
I
was
actually
Batman.
That
day
there
was

not

On
a
cold,
stormy
winter
day,
an
old
friend
invited
me
out
for
a
cup
of
coffee.
We
met
by
his
house,
and
as
we
walked
down
the
street,
we
passed
by
a
small
cafe
with
a
sign
hanging
on
the
door
that
read:
“You're
welcome
in.
We
have
suspended
coffee.”
“Suspended
coffee?”
I
asked
my
friend.
“What
does
that
mean?”
“You've
never
heard
of
it?”
my
friend
asked,
and
I
shook
my
head.
“Follow
me,”
he
told
me,
and
we
joined
the
line
of
people
standing
in
front
of
the
cash
register.
“What
can
I
offer
you
today?”
The
cashier
asked
a
couple
of
young
lawyers
who
were
looking
at
the
menu.
“I
think
we'll
take
three
cups
of
coffee,”
one
of
them
said.
“2
now,
and
1
suspended.”
The
cashier
nodded,
as
if
it
were
an
ordinary
order,
took
payment
and
placed
two
cups
of
hot
coffee
on
the
counter.
The
two
thanked
him,
took
the
two
cups
and
left
without
waiting
for
the
third.
The
next
in
line
was
an
older
couple.
“Same
order
as
always?”
The
cashier
smiled
at
them.
“Yes,
thank
you,”
replied
the
woman.
“But
please
add
two
suspended
coffees,
we
haven't
purchased
any
of
those
for
quite
a
while.”
A
few
minutes
later
the
couple
received
their
order,
and
our
turn
to
order
arrived.
“Good
morning!”
said
the
cashier.
“How
can
I
help
you?”
“I
think
we'd
like
two
cups
of
coffee,”
my
friend
said.
“We'll
drink
them
here.”
When
our
order
was
ready,
we
took
our
cups
and
sat
down
to
drink
them
together.
“Will
you
tell
me
what
this
is
about?”
I
asked
my
friend,
but
he
just
said:
“Wait
and
see.”
Our
conversation
flowed,
and
before
we
noticed
it,
nearly
two
hours
passed.
The
cafe
was
almost
empty
of
people
when
the
door
suddenly
opened
and
a
man
in
old
shabby
clothes
and
a
tired
look
came
in
and
stood
quietly
in
front
of
the
cash
register.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
He
thought
for
a
moment
and
then
asked
quietly:
“Do

coffee?”

explain
it
to
me.

A
Hot
Science
The
BenefitsExperts
have
found
that
there
are
clear
health
benefits
of
drinking
tea.
Research
has
led
to
the
discovery
that
chemicals
found
in
tea
can
help
prevent
cell
damage.
And
there
is
clear
evidence
that
drinking
three
to
four
cups
of
tea
a
day
will
reduce
the
chances
of
heart
attacks
and
certain
cancers.
Other
health
benefits
include
bone
strengthening
and
protection
against
bad
teeth."Drinking
tea
is
actually
better
for
you
than
drinking
water,"
said
one
doctor.Re-hydrationThere
was
also
some
interesting
information
on
the
qualities
of
tea.
The
research
dispels
the
fear
that
tea
is
dehydrating(脱水）。＂Everyone
assumes
that
caffeine-containing
drinks
such
as
tea
dehydrate,"
a
leading
expert
explained."But
even
if
you
had
a
really
strong
cup
of
tea,you
would
still
have
a
gain
of
fluid（液体）。In
terms
of
fluid
intake,we
recommend
1.5
to
2
litres
per
day,and
that
can
include
tea.
Tea
is
not
dehydrating.
It's
a
healthy
drink."The
Negative
SideThere
was
only
one
bit

这是一篇说明文。文章用生动的语言分板块分别讲述了饮茶的好处与某些坏处、茶树与茶的知识科普以及有关茶的笑话。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。在“Benefits”部分中,
“three
or
four
cups
of
tea
a
day
will
reduce
the
chances
of
heart
attacks
and
certain
cancers.（每天喝三到四杯茶可以降低患心脏病和某些癌症的几率。）”
“Other
health
benefits
include
bone
strengthening
and
protection
against
bad
teeth.（其他的健康益处还包括增强骨骼和防止坏牙。）”可知，饮茶有利于减少心脏问题的发生、增强骨质以及预防牙齿问题。而在“negative
side”板块中“This
means
that
people
at
risk
of
anaemia(贫血）should
avoid
drinking
tea
around
mealtimes.”我们可以得知，贫血的人不适宜饮茶，故饮茶会增加缺铁的风险，而不是预防。故选D。
【2题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线单词后“the
fear
that
tea
is
dehydrating(脱水）”可知，人们害怕茶会有脱水的作用。而后文专家的解释中说明了茶并不会起到脱水的作用，茶是一种健康的饮品。故此处的“dispel”应为与打消，消除相近的含义。故选C。
【3题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“And
there
is
clear
evidence
that
drinking
three
to
four
cups
of
tea
a
day
will
reduce
the
chances
of
heart
attacks
and
certain
cancers.（有明确的证据表明，每天喝三到四杯茶可以降低心脏病和某些癌症的发病率。）”可知，
A选项中“cure
different
diseases”并未在文中体现，文中只说明饮茶可以预防一些疾病的发生，所以选项A错误。B选项中“cannot”与文意相悖，文中Re-hydration板块中的专家提及即使喝了浓茶也会相当于摄入了人体所需的液体，所以浓茶也可以起到解渴的作用。而C选项中的笑话则是并不饮茶的人也能理解的。故A、B、C选项皆为错误选项。D选项可以定位至Tea
facts中的第一条However,
it
is
cut
short
so
that
the
leaves
can
be
taken
easily.，即茶树会被砍短以方便采收。所以选项D的描述正确。故选D。
B
I've
been
writing
since
before
I
could
write.
As
a
kid,
I
dictated
stories
to
my
parents.About
12
years
ago,I
was
living
in
New
York
City
and
pursuing
a
master
in
creative
writing.
For
years
I'd
been
suffering
vision
disorder,but
in
New
York
my
symptoms
worsened.
I
became
unable
to
read
or
write
for
any
considerable
length
of
time.
I
tried
vision
therapy(疗法），an
overhead
projector,a
special
pair
of
glasses-all
in
vain.
Eventually,I
discovered
a
computer
program
for
the
visually
challenged.
As
I
typed,my
words
were
read
aloud
by
an
automated
voice.
With
my
screen
dimmed
to
black,I
relied
entirely
on
audio
feedback
to
know
what
I
had
written.
Facing
the
blank
page
is
worrying,but
facing
the
black
page
is
worse.
The
dark
screen
is
a
sinkhole
that
swallows
creative
hope.
Sentences
disappear
into
it
like
an
astronaut
into
a
black
hole.
I
managed
to
complete
my
master
degree,
but
it
took
me
years
to
adapt
to
my
new
reality.
The
greatest
barrier
seemed
to
be
the
automated
voice,
which
was
like
a
robot
parrot
on
my
shoulder,
and
I
wanted
nothing
more
than
to
drive
it
away.
If
a
pianist
were
forced
to
practice
on
an
untuned
piano,would
it
corrupt
his
ear
over
time?
Of
course,I
could
have
quit
writing
and
stopped
making
myself
suffer.But
it
honestly
never
occurred
to
me-and
I'm
glad
it
didn't.
Last
year,
after
I
told
my
story
on
the
radio,I
was
contacted
by
VocaliD,a
Massachusetts-based
company
that
created
a
voice
modeled
on
my
own.
The
first
time
I
heard
the
voice
they
created,
it
is
so
close
to
my
own
that
the
two
are
nearly
indistinguishable.
I've
only
just
begun
using
this
new
voice.
My
hope
is
that
this
will
restore
a
sense
of
solitude(孤独）
to
my
writing
process,allowing
me
easier
access
to
that
inner
space
where
the
imagination
can
take
over,
and
I
can
forget
myself,
and
the
real
work
can
begin.
The
black
screen
still
exists-it
always
will-but
the
robot
parrot
has
taken
wing.

C
As
a
CEO
of
a
startup,
you
get
used
to
hearing"no".You
also
face
an
endless
continuation
of
what
feels
like
shocking
crises,
like
nearly
running
out
of
cash,
losing
a
key
customer,discovering
a
widespread
product
failure,
or
having
to
shut
down
operations
because
of
a
global
pandemic.
But
it
turns
out
that
these
disasters
can
actually
be
good
for
you.
In
fact,I'm
not
sure
whether
you
can
innovate
without
them.
Here's
what
all
our
crises
have
taught
me.
It's
good
to
be
uncomfortable.
We
once
had
a
key
customer
request-a
battery
capability
that
we'd
never
developed
before.
The
customer
made
it
clear
that
if
we
couldn't
develop
this
capability,
they'd
be
less
confident
in
our
product.
We
wrestled
with
the
risks,
not
least
of
which
was
the
potential
embarrassment
if
we
couldn't
meet
the
customer's
needs.
We
knew
we'd
face
many
technical
problems
if
we
tried
to
go
into
operation.
Yet
we
decided
to
try
to
satisfy
the
customer,
even
if
it
wasn't
obvious
at
first
how
we
could
get
it
done.
A
few
weeks
later
we
delivered
something
beyond
what
the
customer
had
asked
for,
and
we've
since
grown
this
capability
into
a
powerful
sales
tool
and
potential
revenue
stream-not
to
mention
it
strengthened
our
relationship
with
the
customer.
Short-term
failure
is
good.
A
few
years
ago,
our
company
began
to
expand
our
manufacturing
output
in
response
to
a
customer's
need.
In
the
process
we
discovered
something
unusual
we
hadn't
seen
during
smaller-scale
production.
Our
team
dived
into
failure
analysis,
and
we
finally
put
the
problem
down
to
a
single
material
within
the
battery.
We'd
used
this
material
for
years,
but
now
we
needed
a
replacement.
Once
we
made
that
change,the
battery
quality
and
reliability
greatly
improved.
It's
okay
to
show
weakness.
One
of
my
hardest
days
as
CEO
was
the
day
when
I
found
out
I
was
pregnant.We
were
in
the
middle
of
raising
a
funding
round,
and
I
had
been
traveling
nonstop
for
a
year.
Until
that
day,
I
had
assumed
that
my
role
as
CEO
was
to
display
strength
and
confidence.
With
the
mounting
pressure
I
was
harder
on
myself
than
I
needed
to
be,
and
now
I
had
the
added
stress
of
being
pregnant.I
decided
to
acknowledge
to
my
team
that
I
was
breaking
down.
They
united
together
and
found
ways
to
operate
more
smoothly
and
communicate
more
effectively,
supporting
me
to
focus
my
time
on
most
pressing
goals.
This
gave
me
not
only
the
space
to
plan
for
the
company’s
future,but
also
to
prepare
for
my
own
new
normal:
leading
while
becoming
a
first-time
mother.

【11题详解】
主旨大意题。结合全文来看都围绕着危机这个命题进行论述，第一段也开头点出了中心，要乐观看待危机，在其中成长；而不是随它去、用CEO的方式做到、思考深入。因此建议我们与危机为友。故D“与危机成为朋友”可以作为本文最佳标题。故选D。

Worried
about
the
effect
reality
TV
is
having
on
your
child?
You
aren't
being
overprotective-there's
increasing
evidence
that
these
programmes
can
have
a
big
impact
on
young
people.
When
our
children
are
young,we
tend
to
give
careful
thought
to
how
much
TV
they're
watching
and
whether
or
not
it's
good
for
them.
But
as
they
grow
up,
most
parents
let
their
kids
make
more
independent
choices
about
their
viewing.
However,
if
you've
got
children,
you
may
want
to
stay
attentive.
A
research
indicates
that
some
reality
TV
shows
can
be
every
bit
as
damaging
for
teenage
girls
as
too
many
cartoons
are
for
kids－perhaps
even
worse.
The
truth
is
that
reality
TV
is
anything
but
reality-but
that's
not
necessarily
what
our
children
believe.A
study
for
the
Girl
Scout
Research
Institute
in
the
US
found
that
eight
out
of
ten
girls
aged
between
11
and
17
who
regularly
watch
reality
shows
believe
these
programmes
describe
real
life.
In
fact,much
of
reality
TV
is
a
heavily
manipulated(操控）view
of
what's
really
happening,
and
the
worst
of
it
strengthens
the
sort
of
female
stereotypes(刻板印象）women
have
spent
decades
trying
to
remove.
Many
of
the
women
on
reality
TV
shows
are
acting
out
lives
as
teenage
mothers
or
drama
queens.Strong,hard-working,purposeful
young
women
with
ambitions
beyond
their
looks
are
rare
in
these
programmes.There's
a
widespread
emphasis
on
the
value
of
women
being
about
how
they
look
and
dress,which
gives
young
viewers
the
message
that
being
a
woman
is
all
about
style
and
appearance,
not
what
you
do
or
stand
for.
Cultural
critic
and
writer
Jennifer
Pozner
describes
reality
TV
as
"the
contemporary
backlash（抵制）against
feminism".Imran
Siddiguee,Director
of
Social
Media
and
Outreach,
is
concerned
that
these
programmes
show
the
worst
stereotypes
of
womanhood
and
“normalize"
them
in
what
appear
to
be
everyday
settings."They
offer
such
a
limited
view
of
what
it
is
to
be
a
woman,
and
all
over
the
world
young
girls
are
addicted
to
it,"he
says.
Siddiquee
does
recognize,
however,that
many
girls
themselves
value
reality
TV.Some
say
it
encourages
them
to
think
about
situations
different
from
their
own.
They
also
point
out
that
some
shows
feature
women
running
their
own
successful
businesses.
＂It's
important
to
acknowledge
that
there
are
some
useful
elements
in
reality
TV,"Siddiquee
says."But
many
girls
need
to
be
inspired
to
think
more
critically
about
some
aspects
of
these
shows
so
they're
not
manipulated
by
them
and
so
their
behaviour
doesn't
change
because
of
them."
We
should
encourage
our
children
to
be
critical
thinkers
and
help
them
develop
their
media
literacy.
Whether
reality
TV
is
changing
our
children's
views,
or
whether
they
are
attracted
to
programmes
that
agree
with
their
beliefs,
it's
vital
we
recognize
that
their
viewing
habits
could
strengthen
these
unbalanced
ideals.

B
【解析】
这是一篇议论文。文章论述一些真人电视节目输出的错误价值观和内容，对女性的刻板印象和强调外在，忽视了女性内在美和独立奋斗的形象，会误导青春期少女。作者呼吁培养孩子面对这类内容要进行独立思考，而不是被塑造影响。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“A
research
indicates
that
some
reality
TV
shows
can
be
every
bit
as
damaging
for
teenage
girls
as
too
many
cartoons.
are
for
kids－perhaps
even
worse.（一项研究表明，一些电视真人秀节目对青少年女孩的伤害就像过多的卡通片对孩子的伤害一样，甚至可能更糟。）”可知，人秀电视节目对青少年女孩的危害很大。故选B。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第6段“Many
of
the
women
on
reality
TV
shows
are
acting
out
lives
as
teenage
mothers
or
drama
queens.
Strong,
hard-working,
purposeful
young
women
with
ambitions
beyond
their
looks
are
rare
in
these
programmes.（许多电视真人秀中的女性都扮演着少女妈妈或戏剧女王的角色。在这些节目中，身强力壮、勤奋上进、有远大抱负的年轻女性并不多见。）”和第7段“these
programmes
show
the
worst
stereotypes
of
womanhood
and
“normalize"
them
in
what
appear
to
be
everyday
settings（这些节目展示了对女性最糟糕的刻板印象，并在似乎是日常的场景中将其“正常化”）”可知，第六七两段集中论述真人秀的问题，内容充满了对女性的刻板印象解读，展现的都是女性美丽的外表，而不是一个女性应该有的独立和上进心，这种价值观是错误的，会误导女孩对于女性的认知。由此可知，真人秀的内容和观点是相当虚假的。故选C。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第八段最后一句“They
also
point
out
that
some
shows
feature
women
running
their
own
successful
businesses.（他们还指出，一些节目以女性经营自己成功的企业为特色。）”可知，一些节目展现的是成功的经营自己事业的女性，该段在说一些女孩对于这类节目的思考，也举出了不同之前批判对象那样的节目。换句话说，这个人认为真人秀应该展现的是女性和她们的事业，故选A。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“But
many
girls
need
to
be
inspired
to
think
more
critically
about
some
aspects
of
these
shows
so
they're
not
manipulated
by
them
and
so
their
behaviour
doesn't
change
because
of
them.（但很多女孩需要受到启发，对这些节目的某些方面进行更批判性的思考，这样她们就不会被这些节目操控，她们的行为也不会因此而改变。”）”，可知，Imran
Siddquee认为Imran
Siddquee认为青少年需要关于如何批判性地评估此类节目内容的指导。故选B。

E
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇议论文。文章为读者推荐了在繁忙的日常生活中人们仍然可以采取的运动方式，以及对于运动过程的建议。
【详解】1.根据下文Barbara的陈述可知，每个人的生活都非常繁忙，可能会有孩子，正在变老的父母，工作，伴侣等等需要处理的事情。可见能够抽出时间运动对于人们来说是一项巨大的挑战。又结合上文运动的好处，可知此处为一句表转折的句子。B项意为“但是找到时间更多地锻炼可能很有挑战性”。故选B。
2.此段内容为对于走路以及使用计步器的建议。从或简单或高级的计步器开始记录下行走的每一步，都会使人得到很大的激励。这样才能越走越远。对应A选项中的Track
your
steps。A项意为“追踪你的步数，因为这很有动力”。选项A切题，故选A。
3.此段讲的是久坐的危害。故选项中仅有D选项提及站立或久坐的问题，能够与上下文相连。D项意为“专家建议使用至少一段时间的站立式办公桌”。故选D。
4.本段讲述了对于跑步的建议及好处。根据后文“then,
go
for
longer
distances
gradually.”（然后，慢慢地走更远的距离）可知前面应该为提出慢慢循序渐进的建议。F选项与文意相符。F项意为“一些专家建议慢跑和走路开始轮番交替”，即为可自主选择从慢跑或是走路开始，慢慢一点点加速。故选F。
5.本题要抓好本段的主题词
make
it
a
habit.
habit非常重要，因为E选项的brushing
your
teeth,
build...into都是论证habit的，E项意为“就像刷牙一样，你不得不把锻炼融入生活”切题。故选E。

【答案】Hello,
everyone!
I’m
privileged
to
have
the
chance
to
speak
on
behalf
of
my
class
here.
As
people
are
becoming
more
aware
of
the
need
to
protect
the
environment,
sustainable
development
has
become
an
irreversible
trend.
While
nearly
everything
we
do
in
modern
lives
requires
use
of
the
Earth’s
natural
resources,
they
do
have
many
disadvantages.
They
are
non-renewable
and
burning
fuels
can
be
harmful
to
the
environment.
That’s
why
people
are
pushing
for
the
use
of
alternative
energy
sources.
Alternative
energy
sources,
including
solar
energy,
wind
energy
and
hydroelectricity,
can
be
used
without
running
out.
On
top
of
this,
they
are
environment-friendly
and
beneficial
to
the
lives
of
our
children
and
grandchildren.
That’s
all.
Thank
you.

第二节（满分25分）
47.
阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
On
a
cold,
stormy
winter
day,
an
old
friend
invited
me
out
for
a
cup
of
coffee.
We
met
by
his
house,
and
as
we
walked
down
the
street,
we
passed
by
a
small
cafe
with
a
sign
hanging
on
the
door
that
read:
“You're
welcome
in.
We
have
suspended
coffee.”
“Suspended
coffee?”
I
asked
my
friend.
“What
does
that
mean?”
“You've
never
heard
of
it?”
my
friend
asked,
and
I
shook
my
head.
“Follow
me,”
he
told
me,
and
we
joined
the
line
of
people
standing
in
front
of
the
cash
register.
“What
can
I
offer
you
today?”
The
cashier
asked
a
couple
of
young
lawyers
who
were
looking
at
the
menu.
“I
think
we'll
take
three
cups
of
coffee,”
one
of
them
said.
“2
now,
and
1
suspended.”
The
cashier
nodded,
as
if
it
were
an
ordinary
order,
took
payment
and
placed
two
cups
of
hot
coffee
on
the
counter.
The
two
thanked
him,
took
the
two
cups
and
left
without
waiting
for
the
third.
The
next
in
line
was
an
older
couple.
“Same
order
as
always?”
The
cashier
smiled
at
them.
“Yes,
thank
you,”
replied
the
woman.
“But
please
add
two
suspended
coffees,
we
haven't
purchased
any
of
those
for
quite
a
while.”
A
few
minutes
later
the
couple
received
their
order,
and
our
turn
to
order
arrived.
“Good
morning!”
said
the
cashier.
“How
can
I
help
you?”
“I
think
we'd
like
two
cups
of
coffee,”
my
friend
said.
“We'll
drink
them
here.”
When
our
order
was
ready,
we
took
our
cups
and
sat
down
to
drink
them
together.
“Will
you
tell
me
what
this
is
about?”
I
asked
my
friend,
but
he
just
said:
“Wait
and
see.”
Our
conversation
flowed,
and
before
we
noticed
it,
nearly
two
hours
passed.
The
cafe
was
almost
empty
of
people
when
the
door
suddenly
opened
and
a
man
in
old
shabby
clothes
and
a
tired
look
came
in
and
stood
quietly
in
front
of
the
cash
register.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
He
thought
for
a
moment
and
then
asked
quietly:
“Do
you
have
a
suspended
coffee?”
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
When
he
saw

my

began
to

to
me.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】He
thought
for
a
moment
and
then
asked
quietly:
“Do
you
have
a
suspended
coffee?”
The
cashier
smiled
and
nodded,
poured
the
man
a
cup
of
hot
coffee
and
placed
it
in
front
of
him.
The
man
thanked
him,
took
the
glass
and
left.
No
one
else
seemed
to
take
notice
of
this
moment,
which
appeared
to
be
ordinary
in
this
café,
but
I
could
not
help
but
be
moved
by
this
little
gesture.
However,
to
my
puzzlement,
what
does
a
suspended
coffee
mean
on
earth?
When
he
saw
my
expression,
my
friend
began
to
explain
it
to
me.
“Anyone
can
prepay
for
a
cup
of
coffee
for
someone
less
fortunate
without
making
them
feel
bad.
The
cup
of
coffee
waits
for
anyone
interested
in
it,
and
who
knows
better
than
us
what
a
warm
cup
of
coffee
can
do
for
a
cold
day.”
When
we
got
up
to
leave,
I
stopped
for
a
moment
and
went
back
to
the
cash
register.
“I
just
wanted
to
buy
another
cup
of
coffee.
Suspended.”
【解析】
【分析】
本篇书面表达是读后续写。通过阅读所给文章可知，作者在和朋友一起喝咖啡时路过一家写着“You're
welcome
in.
We
have
suspended
coffee.”的咖啡馆。作者和朋友进去喝咖啡，才知道
suspended
coffee是指人们为无法支付咖啡钱的客人预付的咖啡，向不幸的人们传递爱和温暖。
【详解】续写部分分为两段，第一段开头是：他想了一会儿，安静地问：“你们有待用咖啡吗？”，所以应该写收银员听到这句话之后的反应和做法。要详细描述收银员、衣衫褴褛的客人和其他客人的动作、态度和反应。第二段开头是：当他看到我的表情时，我的朋友开始向我解释。本段应该写我的朋友对suspended
coffee的解释以及我之后的行为。
本篇主要应用一般过去时，续写时要求使用5个以上短文中标有下划线的关键词语增加了写作难度，我们要熟悉所给划线词语，恰当的时候加以运用。最后还要注意所续写短文的词数应为150左右；续写完成后，请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。按要求完成写作任务。
【点睛】范文内容完整，要点全面，语言规范，语篇连贯，词数适当，上下文意思连贯，符合逻辑关系。作者在范文中使用了较多主从复合句，如：No
one
else
seemed
to
take
notice
of
this
moment,
which
appeared
to
be
ordinary
in
this
café.
这句话运用了which引导的定语从句。使用了一些固定词组，如take
notice
of
;
appear
to
do;
explain
sth.
to
sb.等。全文中没有中国式英语的句式，显示了很高的驾驭英语的能力。另外，文章思路清晰、层次分明，上下句转换自然，为文章增色添彩。
