A
new
study
finds
that
getting
seven
to
nine
hours
of
sleep
per
night
may
help
you
tame
(驯服)
your
sweet
tooth.
Researchers
at
King’s
College
London
recruited
“short
sleepers”
—
people
_______1_______routinely
sleep
less
than
seven
hours
per
night.
The
participants
were
trained
_______2_______(extend)
their
sleep
time
in
many
ways,
such
as
cutting
back
on
caffeine,
reducing
screen
time
and
_______3_______
(stick)
to
a
regular
bedtime
each
night.
With
the
training,
the
short
sleepers
began
to
sleep
about
one
hour
more
per
night.
And
here’s
the
interesting
thing:
They
also
changed
their
diets
—
without
__________4__________(ask).
“We
found
that
these
people
also
reduced
their
intake
of
added
sugars
by
about
10
grams
per
day,”
explains
one
of
the
study’s
authors.
That’s
about
40
calories’
worth
of
sugar,
_______5_______
is
not
a
huge
change.
But
________6________time,
a
small,
daily
decline
in
sugary
foods
can
make
a
difference.
The
study
was
published
in
the
American
Journal
of
Clinical
Nutrition.
Its
findings
serve
up
more
evidence
_______7_______our
sleep
can
influence
our
eating
habits
and
waistlines.
A
study
published
in
2013
also
found
that
just
five
days
of
_________8_________(shorten)
sleep
can
lead
to
weight
gain.
In
that
study,
people
_______9_______(allow)
to
sleep
for
just
five
hours
for
a
five-day
period.
They
gained,
on
average,
almost
two
pounds.
And
as
reported,
the
timing
of
meals
can
also
influence
_________10_________our
bodies
respond
to
all
the
calories
we
eat.
For
instance,
a
study
published
in
the
International
Journal
of
Obesity
found
that
people
who
ate
their
main
meal
early
in
the
day
were
more
successful
at
losing
weight,
compared
with
people
who
ate
a
heavy,
late-night
meal.

Life
isn’t
easy
for
families
of
children
with
special
needs.
Faced
with
responsibility
of
a
family
member
requiring
extra
attention
and
care,
many
families
feel
lonely,
____11____
and
hopeless.
In
many
cases,
the
families
feel
a
sense
of
____12____
because
their
children
are
not
“perfect”.
But
Taiwan
Sunshine
wants
to
change
that.
Founded
in
2009,
Taiwan
Sunshine
believes
that
all
children
have
characteristic
value,
and
by
supporting
the
families
who
care
for
children
with
special
needs,
it
can
change
the____13____
understanding.
In
doing
so,
it
hopes
to
help
these
children
become
useful
members
of
society.
The
Taipei-based,
non-profit
organization
seeks
to
____14____
these
goals
in
three
ways.
First,
it
offers
in-school
programs,
often
centered
on
events
like
Christmas.
Second,
it
develops
conferences
for
use
in
schools,
churches
and
other
organizations.
These
conferences
raise____15____
of
the
issues
that
families
with
special-needs
children
face
and
encourage
organizations
to
develop
programs
to
support
these
families.
Third,
Taiwan
Sunshine
works
with
other
groups
to
put
together
and
____16____
the
“I
Am
a
Hero
Games.”
During
the
games,
children
compete
in
different
____17____
activities,
such
as
the
ball
throw
and
running
race.
When
children
aren’t
____18____,
they
enjoy
other
activities,
such
as
playing
with
dogs
from
a
local
therapy
program.
Each
game
includes
a
prize-awarding
ceremony
in
which
all
the
children
are
formally____19____
with
medals
to
celebrate
their
accomplishments.
Through________20________
like
the
Hero
Games,
Taiwan
Sunshine
is
working
hard
to
meet
the
needs
of
families
with
special-needs
children.

the
following
three
passages.
Each
passage
is

several
questions
or
unfinished
statements.
For
each
of
them
there
are
four
choices
marked

C
and
D.
Choose
the
one
that
fits
best
according

(A)
Are
you
a
media
addict
who
would
go
mad
after
two
hours
without
TV,
friend
requests,
exciting
online
games
and
your
mobile—or
would
you
easily
survive?
Recently,
university
students
around
the
world
were
asked
to
volunteer
in
a
global
experiment
called
Unplugged.
It
was
designed
to
see
how
young
people
would
react
if
they
were
asked
to
observe
a
total
media
ban
by
unplugging
all
forms
of
media
devices
for
24
hours.
Unplugged
is
being
run
by
Dr
Roman
Gerodimos,
a
lecturer
in
Communication
and
Journalism
at
Bournemouth
University.
The
experiment
is
now
over
but
he
doesn't
yet
know
the
full
findings.
However,
during
the
experiment,
Dr
Gerodimos
said
there
were
already
signs
of
how
much
the
exercise
affected
volunteers.
He
said:
“They’re
reporting
withdrawal
symptoms,
overeating,
feeling
nervous,
isolated
and
disconnected.”
During
their
24-hour
painful
experience,
three
of
the
experiment’s
guinea
pigs
had
to
endure
one
intrusion
from
the
media:
a
BBC
reporter
plus
cameraman
who
followed
them
around
for
the
day.
They
were
asked
to
write
down
100
lines
about
their
day
offline,
but
of
course,
they
all
waited
until
the
next
day
when
they
had
access
to
their
laptops.
Elliot
Day
wrote:
“Today,
my
whole
morning
routine
was
thrown
up
into
the
air.
Despite
being
aware
of
the
social
importance
of
the
media,
I
was
surprised
by
how
empty
my
life
felt
without
the
radio
or
newspapers.”
And
Charlotte
Gay
wrote:
“I
have
to
say
the
most
difficult
item
for
me

be
without

been
my
mobile;
not

it
a
social
tool,
it's
my
main
access
point
of
communication.”
Earlier
in
the
year,
a
UK
government
study
found
that
in
the
UK
we
spend
about
half
our
waking
hours
using
the
media,
often
plugged
into
several
things
at
once.
And
a
recent
study
by
Nielson
found
that
on
average,
US
teenagers
send
and
receive
over
3,000
texts
per
month-that's
about
six
texts
per
waking
hour.
So,
with
technology
continuing
to
develop
at
an
alarming

how
much
time
will
you
set

in
the

By

that
taking

Get
involved
with
extracurricular
clubs.
Sports
don’t
matter
that
much
unless
you:
a)
play
one
continuously
for
years;
b)
are
going
to
college
to
play
sports
Clubs
that
involved
academics,
volunteer
work
and
leadership
are
excellent.
If
you
have
time
to
play
sports,
then
do
that
as
well.
Colleges
want
well-rounded

One
of
my
kids
got
accepted
to
every
place
she
had
applied
to
two
years
ago
and
she
had
no
“named”
leadership
positions.
However,
she
was
a
very
strong
contributor
in
some
team
activities.
Leadership
isn’t
always
about
standing
in
front
of
the
room
with
a
title.
It
can
be
about
leading
your
team
in
terms
of
performance,
for
example,
or
in
helping
younger
teammates
make
progress.
I
think
the
leadership
title
positions
are
overrated
in
the
college
admissions
process.
Colleges
don’t
want
“lone
wolves”
who
can’t
get
along
with
others.
They
want
students
who
are
sincere,
try
the
best
to
do
the
things
that
are
important
to
them,
and
perform
at
a
high
level
in
the
things
that
they
set
their
minds
to.
Pick
the
things
that
you
love
and
put
a
lot
of
effort
into
them.
If
you
have
good
grades
and
test
scores,
the
rest
will
follow.

Studying
for
Success:
Born
or
Made?
“What
are
we
to
do?”
Two
Chinese
parents
asked
helplessly,
throwing
their
hands
up
in
the
air.
With
two
bachelor’s
degrees,
a
master’s
degree,
and
a
Ph.D.
earned
by
the
couple
from
top
universities
in
China,
you
would
think
that
even
if
they
couldn’t
solve
a
problem,
they
might
be
able
to
find
someone
who
could.
So,
what
“problem”
gave
them
so
much
trouble?
Their
son,
10
years
old,
has
been
the
center
of
their
lives.
They
have
thrown
all
of
their
resources
into
his
education.
They
have
taught
him
themselves
and
provided
all
kinds
of
extra
tutorial
classes,
but
to
no
avail.
Their
son
continues
to
perform
poorly
in
examinations,
even
though
he
studies
very
hard.
Eventually,
the
mother
accepted
that
her
son
is
below
average
and
said
he
may
be
able
to
live
a
comfortable
life
with
an
ordinary
job.
Is
the
mother
right?
I
don’t
think
so.
I
have
taught
thousands
of
students
before,
and
I
can
tell
you
with
certainty
that
talent
is
not
distributed
evenly.
What
is
talent?
It
is
strictly
defined
as
“natural
skill,”
but
I
would
like
to
narrow
that
definition
further:
the
speed
with
which
one
can
master
new
skills.
Some
students
simply
learn
material
faster.
But
is
your
ability
to
learn
limited
by
your
talent
from
birth?
I
think
the
answer
to
that
question
is
really
up
to
you.
If
you
do
not
learn
as
fast
as
your
classmates,
then
you
must
study
harder.
For
example,
if
you
spend
more
time
and
effort
improving
your
reading
speed
and
comprehension,
you
will
almost
certainly
be
able
to
learn
more
over
the
course
of
your
life
from
reading
—
if
you
continue
to
read
books.
However,
some
would
argue
that
if
you
tell
a
student
that
they
are
average,
it
will
hurt
their
self-esteem.
And
low
self-esteem
could
mean
less
motivation
to
learn.
Research,
however,
has
failed
to
show
any
relation
between
self-esteem
and
task
performance.
Instead,
realizing
his/her
lack
of
talent
may
stimulate
the
child
to
put
in
more
effort.
In
the
case
of
this
student,
the
mother
has
accepted
the
fact
that
her
son
is
average.
But
as
far
as
I
am
concerned,
as
a
role
model
for
her
son,
she
should
continue
to
work
hard,
to
show
her
son
that
being
average
is
certainly
no
reason
to
be
lazy
—
if
anything,
it
should
be
a
reason
to
work
harder!
In
learning,
the
work
of
a
diligent
fool
doubles
that
of
a
lazy
wit.
So
get
cracking
and
you
will
do
much
better
than
that
“lazy
wit”!

iPad
vs
textbooks
What
if
you
could
have
your
whole
backpack
at
the
touch
of
your
fingertips?
In
the
first
month
of
the
Apple
iPads
release,
25
million
were
sold!
People
all
over
the
world
use
iPads
for
all
sorts
of
different
things,
but
one
of
their
finest
qualities
is
the
ability
to
be
a
textbook.
______47______
To
begin
with,
iPad
are
less
expensive.
Textbooks
become
outdated
and
schools
have
to
buy
new
books,
but
with
an
iPad
schools
can
update
them
for
free.
______48______
Schools
don’t
have
to
spend
$500
every
year
for
iPads
because
they
last
a
while
and
can
be
updated.
Moreover,
in
high
school,
textbooks
have
an
average
of
4.8
pounds
each.
Students
usually
have
multiple
classes,
which
results
in
multiple
textbooks.
Heavy
backpacks
filled
with
books
can
cause
back
problem.
A
solution
to
that
is
an
iPad,
which
only
weighs
1.33
pounds
and
can
hold
all
of
a
student’s
textbooks.
Thirdly,
schools
should
get
rid
of
their
textbooks
and
get
iPads
because
they
have
more
capabilities.
Some
might
think
all
of
the
apps
are
distracting,
but
the
apps
actually
make
iPads
more
efficient.
______49______
Textbooks
cannot
do
those
tasks,
but
iPads
can
easily
do
them
with
just
a
tap
of
the
fingertip.
Lastly,
iPads
are
a
better
choice
for
schools
instead
of
textbooks
because
these
devices
allow
students
to
access
their
learning
anywhere
at
any
time.
_____50_____
With
iPads,
they
find
it
easier
to
get
their
homework
done.
In
conclusion,
schools
should
get
rid
of
their
clumsy
textbooks
and
switch
to
iPads.
iPads
have
allowed
this
generation
to
have
their
entire
backpack
in
the
palm
of
their
hands.
A.
These
tablets
are
perfect
for
busy
students.
B.
Secondly,
iPads
cost
less
and
are
more
popular.
C.
Therefore,
they
can
use
the
saved
money
for
other
programs.
D.
iPads
have
already
replaced
textbooks
in
over
600
American
counties.
E.
iPads
absorb
the
need
to
buy
calculators
dictionaries,
and
other
items
that
are
found
within
the
device.
F.
Schools
have
every
reason
to
do
away
with
their
school
books
and
switch
to
iPads.

passage.
Summarize
the
main

the
main
points
of
the
passage
in
no
more
than
60
words.
Use
your
own
words
as
far
as
possible.
A
new
study
of
8,000
young
people
in
the
Journal
of
Health
and
Social
Behavior
shows
that
although
love
can
make
adults
live
healthily
and
happily,
it
is
a
bad
thing
for
young
people.
Puppy
love
(早恋)
may
bring
stress
for
young
people
and
can
lead
to
depression.
The
study
shows
that
girls
become
more
depressed
than
boys,
and
younger
girls
are
the
worst
of
all.
The
possible
reason
for
the
connection
between
love
and
higher
risk
of
depression
for
girls
is
“loss
of
self”.
According
to
the
study,
even
though
boys
would
say
“lose
themselves
in
a
romantic
relationship”,
this
“loss
of
self”
is
much
more
likely
to
lead
to
depression
when
it
happens
to
girls.
Young
girls
who
have
romantic
relationships
usually
like
hiding
their
feelings
and
opinions.
They
won’t
tell
that
to
their
parents.
Dr
Marianm
Kaufman,
an
expert
on
young
people
problems,
says
15%
to
20%
young
people
will
have
depression
during
their
growing.
Trying
romance
often
causes
the
depression.
She
advises
kids
not
to
jump
into
romance
too
early.
During
growing
up,
it
is
important
for
young
people
to
build
strong
friendships
and
a
strong
sense
of
self.
She
also
suggests
the
parents
should
encourage
their
kids
to
keep
close
to
their
friends,
attend
more
interesting
school
activities
and
spend
enough
time
with
family.
Parents
should
watch
for
signs
of
depression—eating
or
mood
changes—and
if
they
see
signs
from
their
daughter
or
son,
they
need
to
give
help.
The
good
news
is
that
the
connection
between
romance
and
depression
seems
to
become
weak
with
age.
Love
will
always
make
us
feel
young,
but
only
maturity
gives
us
a
chance
to
avoid
its
bad
side
effects.

A
new
study
finds
that
getting
seven
to
nine
hours
of
sleep
per
night
may
help
you
tame
(驯服)
your
sweet
tooth.
Researchers
at
King’s
College
London
recruited
“short
sleepers”
—
people
_______1_______routinely
sleep
less
than
seven
hours
per
night.
The
participants
were
trained
_______2_______(extend)
their
sleep
time
in
many
ways,
such
as
cutting
back
on
caffeine,
reducing
screen
time
and
_______3_______
(stick)
to
a
regular
bedtime
each
night.
With
the
training,
the
short
sleepers
began
to
sleep
about
one
hour
more
per
night.
And
here’s
the
interesting
thing:
They
also
changed
their
diets
—
without
__________4__________(ask).
“We
found
that
these
people
also
reduced
their
intake
of
added
sugars
by
about
10
grams
per
day,”
explains
one
of
the
study’s
authors.
That’s
about
40
calories’
worth
of
sugar,
_______5_______
is
not
a
huge
change.
But
________6________time,
a
small,
daily
decline
in
sugary
foods
can
make
a
difference.
The
study
was
published
in
the
American
Journal
of
Clinical
Nutrition.
Its
findings
serve
up
more
evidence
_______7_______our
sleep
can
influence
our
eating
habits
and
waistlines.
A
study
published
in
2013
also
found
that
just
five
days
of
_________8_________(shorten)
sleep
can
lead
to
weight
gain.
In
that
study,
people
_______9_______(allow)
to
sleep
for
just
five
hours
for
a
five-day
period.
They
gained,
on
average,
almost
two
pounds.
And
as
reported,
the
timing
of
meals
can
also
influence
_________10_________our

respond
to
all
the
calories
we
eat.
For
instance,
a
study
published
in
the
International
Journal
of
Obesity
found
that
people
who
ate
their
main
meal
early
in

【解析】
本文是说明文。新的研究发现，每晚7到9小时的睡眠会让你少吃甜食，饮食习惯也会改变。
【1题详解】
考查定语从句关系词。句意：伦敦国王学院的研究人员招募了“短睡眠者”——通常每晚睡眠少于7小时的人。分析句子结构，“___
routinely
sleep
less
than
seven
hours
per
night”是定语从句，先行词people，指人，在从句中作主语，应用who引导定语从句。故填who。
【2题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：参与者被训练以多种方式延长睡眠时间，比如减少咖啡因摄入，减少看屏幕的时间，每晚坚持固定的就寝时间。短语train
sb.
to
do
…“训练某人做……”，此处是被动形式be
trained
to
do，用不定式做主语补足语。故填to
extend。
【3题详解】
考查动名词。句意：参与者被训练以多种方式延长睡眠时间，比如减少咖啡因摄入，减少看屏幕的时间，每晚坚持固定的就寝时间。such
as后应该用动名词形式，此处应是sticking，与前面的cutting和
reducing并列。故填sticking。
【4题详解】
考查动名词的被动语态。句意：有趣的是：他们也在没有被要求的情况下改变了他们的饮食。without是介词，后面应该用动名词做宾语；句子主语they和ask之间是逻辑上的被动关系，应该用被动语态，因此用动名词的被动语态。故填being
asked。
【5题详解】
考查定语从句关系词。句意：这是大约40卡路里的糖，这不是很大的变化。分析句子结构，“_____
is
not
a
huge
change”是非限制性定语从句；先行词是about
40
calories’
worth
of
sugar，指物，在从句中做主语，应该用which引导非限制性定语从句。故填which。
【6题详解】
考查介词。句意：但随着时间的推移，每天少量减少含糖食物会起很大的作用。根据句意，此处是短语over
time，意思为“随着时间的推移”。故填over。
【7题详解】
考查同位语从句引导词。句意：该研究的发现为睡眠会影响饮食习惯和腰围提供了更多的证据。分析句子结构，“___
our
sleep
can
influence
our
eating
habits
and
waistlines”是同位语从句，先行词是more
evidence，从句中不缺少任何成分，因此用that引导同位语从句。故填that。
【8题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：2013年发表的一项研究也发现，缩短睡眠时间仅仅五天就会导致体重增加。shorten和sleep之间是逻辑上的被动关系，应用过去分词做定语，意思为“被缩短的”。故填shortened。
【9题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意：在这项研究中，人们被允许在一个五天周期只睡5个小时。根据“in
that
study”可知，句子叙述的是过去的情况，应该用一般过去时；people和allow之间是逻辑上的被动关系，因此用一般过去时的被动语态。故填were
allowed。
【10题详解】
考查宾语从句引导词。句意：据报道，吃饭的时间也会影响我们的身体对摄入的卡路里做出怎样的反应。分析句子结构，“____
our
bodies
respond
to
all
the
calories
we
eat”是宾语从句，根据句意，应该用how引导宾语从句，意思为“如何，怎样”。故填how。

Recently,
university
students
around

were
asked
to
volunteer
in

called
Unplugged.
It
was
designed
to
see

people
would
react
if
they
were
asked
to
observe
a
total
media
ban
by
unplugging
all
forms
of

devices
for
24
hours.
Unplugged
is
being
run
by
Dr
Roman
Gerodimos,
a
lecturer
in
Communication
and
Journalism
at
Bournemouth
University.
The
experiment
is
now
over
but
he
doesn't
yet
know
the
full
findings.
However,
during
the
experiment,
Dr
Gerodimos
said
there
were
already
signs
of
how
much
the
exercise
affected
volunteers.
He
said:
“They’re
reporting
withdrawal
symptoms,
overeating,
feeling
nervous,
isolated
and
disconnected.”
During
their
24-hour
painful
experience,
three
of
the
experiment’s
guinea
pigs
had
to
endure
one
intrusion
from
the
media:
a
BBC
reporter
plus
cameraman
who
followed
them
around
for
the
day.
They
were
asked
to
write
down
100
lines
about
their
day
offline,
but
of
course,
they
all
waited
until
the
next
day
when
they
had
access
to
their
laptops.

Studying
for
Success:
Born
or
Made?
“What
are
we
to
do?”
Two
Chinese
parents
asked
helplessly,
throwing
their
hands
up
in
the
air.
With
two
bachelor’s
degrees,
a
master’s
degree,
and
a
Ph.D.
earned
by
the
couple
from
top
universities
in
China,
you
would
think
that
even
if
they
couldn’t
solve
a
problem,
they
might
be
able
to
find
someone
who
could.
So,
what
“problem”
gave
them
so
much
trouble?
Their
son,
10
years
old,
has
been
the
center
of
their
lives.
They
have
thrown
all
of
their
resources
into
his
education.
They
have
taught
him
themselves
and
provided
all
kinds
of
extra
tutorial
classes,
but
to
no
avail.
Their
son
continues
to
perform
poorly
in
examinations,
even
though
he
studies
very
hard.
Eventually,
the
mother
accepted
that
her
son
is
below
average
and
said
he
may
be
able
to
live
a
comfortable
life
with
an
ordinary
job.
Is
the
mother
right?
I
don’t
think
so.
I
have
taught
thousands
of
students
before,
and
I
can
tell
you
with
certainty
that
talent
is
not
distributed
evenly.
What
is
talent?
It
is
strictly
defined
as
“natural
skill,”
but
I
would
like
to
narrow
that
definition
further:
the
speed
with
which
one
can
master
new
skills.
Some
students
simply
learn
material
faster.
But
is
your
ability
to
learn
limited
by
your
talent
from
birth?
I
think
the
answer
to
that
question
is
really
up
to
you.
If
you
do
not
learn
as
fast
as
your
classmates,
then
you
must
study
harder.
For
example,
if
you
spend
more
time
and
effort
improving
your
reading
speed
and
comprehension,
you
will
almost
certainly
be
able
to
learn
more
over
the
course
of
your
life
from
reading
—
if
you
continue
to
read
books.
However,
some
would
argue
that
if
you
tell
a
student
that
they
are
average,
it
will
hurt
their
self-esteem.
And
low
self-esteem
could
mean
less
motivation
to
learn.
Research,
however,
has
failed
to
show
any
relation
between
self-esteem
and
task
performance.
Instead,
realizing
his/her
lack
of
talent
may
stimulate
the
child
to
put
in
more
effort.
In
the
case
of
this
student,
the
mother
has
accepted
the
fact
that
her
son
is
average.
But
as
far
as
I
am
concerned,
as
a
role
model
for
her
son,
she
should
continue
to
work
hard,
to
show
her
son
that
being
average
is
certainly
no
reason
to
be
lazy
—
if
anything,
it
should
be
a
reason
to
work
harder!
In
learning,
the
work
of
a
diligent
fool
doubles
that
of
a
lazy
wit.
So
get
cracking
and
you
will
do
much
better
than
that
“lazy
wit”!

examinations,
even

Eventually,
the

her

and
said
he
may

to
live
a
comfortable
life
with

推理判断题。根据文章第四段的“But

your
ability

learn
limited
by
your

from
birth?I
think
the
answer
to
that
question
is
really
up

you.
If
you
do

fast
as
your
classmates,
then
you

study
harder.”可知，你的学习能力是否受到你出生时的天赋的限制？我认为这个问题的答案完全取决于你。如果你的学习能力不如你的同学快，那么你必须更加努力地学习。因此在作者看来，我们的学习能力可以通过努力提高。“study
harder”与选项C的“hard
work”相呼应，故选C。

推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“In
the
case
of
this
student,
the
mother
has
accepted
the
fact
that
her
son
is
average.
But
as
far
as
I
am
concerned,
as
a
role
model
for
her
son,
she
should
continue
to
work
hard,
to
show
her
son
that
being
average
is
certainly
no
reason
to
be
lazy
—
if
anything,
it
should
be
a
reason
to
work
harder!”可知，以这个学生为例，母亲已经接受了儿子成绩只是一般的事实。但就我而言，作为儿子的榜样，她应该继续努力，让儿子明白，平庸当然不是偷懒的理由——如果有什么的话，那应该是努力学习的理由！因此看出，作者对这位忧心忡忡的母亲的建议是她应该用自己的努力激励儿子把更多的精力放在功课上。故选D。

iPad
vs
textbooks
What
if
you
could
have
your
whole
backpack
at
the
touch
of
your
fingertips?
In
the
first
month
of
the
Apple
iPads
release,
25
million
were
sold!
People
all
over
the
world
use
iPads
for
all
sorts
of
different
things,
but
one
of
their
finest
qualities
is
the
ability
to
be
a
textbook.
______47______
To
begin
with,
iPad
are
less
expensive.
Textbooks
become
outdated
and
schools
have
to
buy
new
books,
but
with
an
iPad
schools
can
update
them
for
free.
______48______
Schools
don’t
have
to
spend
$500
every
year
for
iPads
because
they
last
a
while
and
can
be
updated.
Moreover,
in
high
school,
textbooks
have
an
average
of
4.8
pounds
each.
Students
usually
have
multiple
classes,
which
results
in
multiple
textbooks.
Heavy
backpacks
filled
with
books
can
cause
back
problem.
A
solution
to
that
is
an
iPad,
which
only
weighs
1.33
pounds
and
can
hold
all
of
a
student’s
textbooks.
Thirdly,
schools
should
get
rid
of
their
textbooks
and
get
iPads
because
they
have
more
capabilities.
Some
might
think
all
of
the
apps
are
distracting,
but
the
apps
actually
make
iPads
more
efficient.
______49______
Textbooks
cannot
do
those
tasks,
but
iPads
can
easily
do
them
with
just
a
tap
of
the
fingertip.
Lastly,
iPads
are
a
better
choice
for
schools
instead
of
textbooks
because
these
devices
allow
students
to
access
their
learning
anywhere
at
any
time.
_____50_____
With
iPads,
they
find
it
easier
to
get
their
homework
done.
In
conclusion,
schools
should
get
rid
of
their
clumsy
textbooks
and
switch
to
iPads.
iPads
have
allowed
this
generation
to
have
their
entire
backpack
in
the
palm
of
their
hands.
A.
These
tablets
are
perfect
for
busy
students.
B.
Secondly,
iPads
cost
less
and
are
more
popular.
C.
Therefore,
they
can
use
the
saved
money

D.
iPads

E.
iPads

schools
can
update

E
选项“
iPads
absorb
the
need
to
buy
calculators,
dictionaries,
and
other
items
that
are
found
within
the
device.（ipad吸收了人们购买计算器、词典和其他可以在设备中找到的物品的需求。）”

because
these
devices
allow
students

（最后，iPads对学校来说是比教科书更好的选择，因为这些设备可以让学生在任何时间、任何地点学习。）”可知，iPads使得学生们可以在任何时间任何地点学习，因此适用于忙碌的学生，
A
选项“These
tablets
are
perfect
for
busy
students.（这些平板电脑非常适合忙碌的学生。）”与上文承接自然
，故选

words.
Use

as
possible.
A
new
study
of
8,000
young
people
in
the
Journal
of
Health
and
Social
Behavior
shows
that
although
love
can
make
adults
live
healthily
and
happily,
it
is
a
bad
thing
for
young
people.
Puppy
love
(早恋)
may
bring
stress
for
young
people
and
can
lead
to
depression.
The
study
shows
that
girls
become
more
depressed
than
boys,
and
younger
girls
are
the
worst
of
all.
The
possible
reason
for
the
connection
between
love
and
higher
risk
of
depression
for
girls
is
“loss
of
self”.
According
to
the
study,
even
though
boys
would
say
“lose
themselves
in
a
romantic
relationship”,
this
“loss
of
self”
is
much
more
likely
to
lead
to
depression
when
it
happens
to
girls.
Young
girls
who
have
romantic
relationships
usually
like
hiding
their
feelings
and
opinions.
They
won’t
tell
that
to
their
parents.
Dr
Marianm
Kaufman,
an
expert
on
young
people
problems,
says
15%
to
20%
young
people
will
have
depression
during
their
growing.
Trying
romance
often
causes
the
depression.
She
advises
kids
not
to
jump
into
romance
too
early.
During
growing
up,
it
is
important
for
young
people
to
build
strong
friendships
and
a
strong
sense
of
self.
She
also
suggests
the
parents
should
encourage
their
kids
to
keep
close
to
their
friends,
attend
more
interesting
school
activities
and
spend
enough
time
with
family.
Parents
should
watch
for
signs
of
depression—eating
or
mood
changes—and
if
they
see
signs
from
their
daughter
or
son
they
need
to
give
help.
The
good
news
is
that
the
connection
between
romance
and
depression
seems
to
become
weak
with
age.
Love
will
always
make
us
feel
young,
but
only
maturity
gives
us
a
chance
to
avoid
its
bad
side
effects.

参加了三个月的培训课程后，他具备了当教练的资格。(qualify)
(汉译英）
【答案】Having
studied
in
a
training
course
for
three
months,
he
was
qualified
as
an
instructor.
【解析】
【详解】考查固定短语、时态和非谓语动词。根据句意表示“参加培训课程”可知短语为study
in
a
training
course；表示“具备了……的资格”可知短语为be
qualified
as，后跟单数名词instructor，作宾语，主语为he；分析句子结构可知，此处study在句中应用非谓语动词形式，与逻辑主语he构成主动关系，故应用现在分词作状语，且“参加培训课程”发生
在“具备资格”之前，应用having
done形式；结合语境，应用一般过去时。故翻译为Having
studied
in
a
training
course
for
three
months,
he
was
qualified
as

我们是否需要准备更多的食物，这要视将要到场的人数而定。（depend）(汉译英）
【答案】Whether
we
need
to
prepare
more
food
depends
on
the
number
of
people
who
will
be
present
/to
be
presented.
【解析】
【详解】考查主语从句、动词时态、固定短语和定语从句。whether是否；we我们；need
to
do
sth.需要做某事；prepare
more
food准备更多的食物；depend
on为固定短语，意为“视……而定，取决于”；the
number
of为固定短语，意为“……的数量”；people人；present到场、在场的。whether引导主语从句，depend
on为整个句子的谓语动词，此处陈述客观事实，使用一般现在时，主语为从句，谓语动词使用第三人称单数形式；the
number
of
people为宾语；根据汉语提示“将要到现场的”可知，需用who引导定语从句修饰名词people或者用动词不定式的被动式作后置定语，定语从句中who作主语，谓语动词为will
be；present为形容词作表语，意为“到场的”；或者使用present的动词不定式被动式to
be
presented作后置定语。故答案是Whether
we
need
to
prepare
more
food
depends

年轻时多学点技能是明智的，以备不时之需。(in

wise
(sensible/advisable)
to
/
learn
more
skills
/
when
you’re
young
(at
an
early
age)
/
in
case
of
unexpected
/
sudden
needs./
【解析】
【详解】考查形式主语、形容词、固定短语、时间状语以及名词。句中用it作形式主语，不定式作真正主语。表示“明智的”应用wise、sensible或者advisable；“学习更多的技能”应该使用learn
more
skills；表示在“年轻时”应该使用；when
you’re
young或者at
an
early
age；表示“以防”应该使用固定短语in
case
of；表示“不时之需”应该使用unexpected
/sudden
needs。故翻译为It
is
wise
(sensible/advisable)
to
/learn
more
skills
/
when
you’re
young
(at
an
early
age)
/
in

市民们被要求养成垃圾分类的好习惯，这绝不是一朝一夕能完成的。(require)
(汉译英）
【答案】Citizens
are
required
to
form
a
good
habit
of
garbage
sorting/classifying,
which
cannot
be
accomplished/
achieved
overnight.
【解析】
【详解】考查动词被动语态，以及固定短语，非限制性定语从句等。表示“（泛指）市民们”应用零冠词名词复数citizens，为主语；表示“被要求”应用所提示的动词require，因和主语之间为被动关系，应用被动语态，结构为be+动词的过去分词；表示“养成垃圾分类的好习惯”应为form
a
good
habit
of
garbage
sorting/classifying，因有句型require
sb
to
do
sth，动词“养成”应用不定式形式，根据句意，句子应为一般现在时态，主语为复数名词，所以句子前半部分译为Citizens
are
required
to
form
a
good
habit
of
garbage
sorting/classifying。表示“这绝不是一朝一夕能完成的”，应用which引导的非限制性定语从句表达，which代指前面整句；动词accomplish/achieve“完成”和主语which之间是被动关系，应用情态动词can+被动语态；表示“一朝一夕；一下子；突然”可用overnight。因是否定句，所以句子后半部分可译为which
cannot
be
accomplished/
achieved
overnight。非限制定语从句逗号隔开。故译为Citizens
are
required
to
form
a
good
habit
of
garbage
sorting/classifying,
which
cannot
be
accomplished/
achieved
overnight.

【点睛】[高分句型1]
Hardly
can
you
imagine
how
thrilled
I
am
when
I
hear
the
news
that
some
English
secondary
school
courses
will
be
held
in
our
school.表否定的副词hardly置于句首，句子使用了部分倒装结构，此外that还引导了同位语从句。
[高分句型2]
I
make
up
my
mind
to
take
part
in
these
courses
that
are
full
of
benefits.这句话用到了that引导的限制性定语从句。
