Ⅰ.七选五
We
eat
to
satisfy
our
hunger
and
to
provide
necessary
nutrition
for
our
body.
__1__.
Research
shows
that
there
are
times
when
certain
foods
may
provide
possible
solutions
for
various
problems.
When
you
can't
sleep:
__2__.
Almonds
(杏仁)
contain
magnesium
(镁),
an
essential
nutrient
that
helps
relax
the
muscles
and
promote
sleep.
When
you
have
bad
breath:
Drink
a
cup
of
black,
green
or
oolong
tea,
which
contains
a
compound
that
stops
the
growth
of
the
bacteria
that
causes
bad
breath.
When
you
feel
irritable:
Reach
for
a
chocolate
bar.
__3__.
That
is
not
only
because
it
tastes
good,
but
also
because
it
increases
the
production
of
serotonin
(血清素),
which
affects
people's
moods.
When
you
have
joint
pain:
Eat
strawberries,
oranges
or
other
foods
loaded
with
vitamin
C.
Eating
two
oranges
daily
gives
you
120
milligrams
of
vitamin
C,
which
may
help
slow
the
wear
and
tear
on
your
joints.
__4__:
Drink
ample
amounts
of
water.
When
you
don't
drink
enough
water,
oxygen
and
nutrients
can't
reach
your
brain
in
an
efficient
manner,
leaving
you
tired
and
less
able
to
concentrate.
__5__.
A.When
you
don't
have
much
energy
B.Next
time
you
have
a
problem,
remember
to
check
your
kitchen
first
for
a
solution
C.When
you
have
any
trouble
D.It
is
known
to
make
most
people
happy
E.By
doing
these,
you
are
expected
to
solve
all
of
your
annoying
problems
F.But
there
are
other
reasons
to
reach
for
particular
foods
G.Try
a
few
almonds
for
a
late?night
snack
本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了当我们的身体出现一些问题时,我们可以吃某些特定的食物来解决或者缓解这些问题。
1.F 解析:结合下一句中的“...certain
foods
may
provide
possible
solutions
for
various
problems.”可知,F选项正确。该选项中的particular
foods对应下文中的certain
foods。
2.G 解析:根据空后内容可知该段主要描述杏仁的功效,G选项符合语境。
3.D 解析:下文提到,巧克力不仅美味,而且它可以增加人体内血清素的分泌,这会影响人的情绪。再结合“When
you
feel
irritable”可知,该句应突出巧克力调节人的情绪的作用,故D选项正确。
4.A 解析:该段建议人们喝足量的水。喝水量不足会使得人感到疲惫,注意力不集中。故精力不足时适合采用该措施。故A选项正确。
5.B 解析:该段是对上文的总结概括,故B选项切题,且与文章第一段呼应。
Ⅱ.翻译下列句子,注意黑体部分要用到本单元的单词、短语或句型,然后将其合并成一篇短文
1.公司倒闭了,这使得他的日子过得很窘迫。

A

English
humour
Ⅰ.阅读理解
For
some
people,
music
is
no
fun
at
all.
About
4%
of
the
population
is
what
scientists
call
“amusic”.
People
who
are
amusics
are
born
without
the
ability
to
enjoy
musical
notes.
Amusic
people
often
cannot
tell
the
differences
between
two
songs.
As
a
result,
songs
sound
like
noise
to
an
amusic.
Many
amusics
compare
the
sound
of
music
to
pieces
of
metal
hitting
each
other.
Life
can
be
hard
for
amusics.
In
fact,
most
people
cannot
understand
what
it
feels
like
to
be
amusic.
Just
going
to
a
restaurant
or
a
shopping
centre
can
be
uncomfortable
or
even
painful.
That
is
why
many
amusics
have
to
stay
away
from
places
where
there
is
music.
However,
this
can
result
in
social
loneliness.
“I
used
to
hate
parties,”
says
Margaret,
a
seventy?year?old
woman
who
only
recently
discovered
that
she
was
an
amusic.
By
studying
people
like
Margaret,
scientists
are
finally
learning
how
to
identify
(辨别)
this
unusual
condition.
Scientists
say
that
the
brains
of
amusics
are
different
from
those
of
people
who
can
enjoy
music.
The
difference
is
complex
(复杂的),
and
it
is
not
connected
with
poor
hearing.
Amusics
can
understand
other
non?musical
sounds
well.
They
also
have
no
problems
understanding
common
speech.
Scientists
compare
amusics
to
people
who
just
can't
see
certain
colours.
Many
amusics
are
happy
when
their
condition
is
finally
diagnosed
(诊断).
For
years,
Margaret
felt
embarrassed
about
her
music
problem.
Now
she
knows
that
she
is
not
alone.
That
makes
it
easier
for
her
to
explain.
“When
people
invite
me
to
a
concert,
I
just
say
‘No,
thanks.
I'm
an
amusic.’”
says
Margaret.
“I
just
wish
I
had
learned
to
say
that
when
I
was
seventeen
and
not
seventy.”
本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述的是世界上有一些天生不喜欢听音乐的人,他们被称为amusic,这些人在听力上没有任何问题,只是不喜欢听音乐,也无法欣赏音乐。很多人在之前都因此而苦恼,现在有了科学的解释,他们可以摆脱那种尴尬、不自在的处境了。
1.Amusics
are
the
people
who
________.
A.like
music
B.are
born
unable
to
enjoy
music
C.don't
like
music
D.have
poor
listening
答案:B
解析:细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的“People
who
are
amusics
are
born
without
the
ability
to
enjoy
musical
notes.”可知amusic指的是那些生来就没有享受音乐的能力的人。故选B。
2.Life
is
hard
for
amusics
mainly
because
________.
A.music
seems
noise
for
them
B.amusics
hate
parties,
restaurants
or
shopping
centres
C.amusics
try
to
stay
at
places
full
of
music
D.people
don't
understand
amusics
答案:D
解析:细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“Life
can
be
hard
for
amusics.
In
fact,
most
people
cannot
understand
what
it
feels
like
to
be
amusic.”可知没有乐感的人的生活可能很难。因为大多数人不明白他们的感受。故选D。
3.In
the
last
paragraph,
Margaret
expressed
her
wish
that
________.
A.her
problem
with
music
had
been
diagnosed
earlier
B.she
were
seventeen
years
old
rather
than
seventy
C.her
problem
could
be
easily
explained
D.she
were
able
to
meet
other
amusics
答案:A
解析:推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中的“...their
condition
is
finally
diagnosed
(诊断).”和“I
just
wish
I
had
learned
to
say
that
when
I
was
seventeen
and
not
seventy.”可知,他们的这种状况最后终于确诊了,他们都属于amusic,但是对于Margaret来说,这来得太迟了,因为之前她总是感到很尴尬,因此她希望她年轻的时候就可以有现在这样的诊断。故选A。
4.What
is
the
main
idea
of
the
passage?
A.Some
people's
inability
to
enjoy
music.
B.Musical
ability.
C.Amusics'
strange
behaviours.
D.Identification
and
treatment
of
amusic.
答案:A
解析:主旨大意题。musical
ability“音乐天赋”,明显与文章大意不符,B项错误;文章只是说他们不喜欢音乐,并没有讲到他们的一些奇怪的举动,C项错误;treatment意为“治疗”,文章并没有讲到如何帮助这些人解决他们的问题,D项错误;全文主要讲述的是不喜爱听音乐的人被称为amusic,他们之前都没有得到统一的诊断或者认识,因此选择A项。

A
Our
neighbour's
son
was
getting
married
at
an
out?of?town
church,
and
my
husband
and
I
were
invited.
We
immediately
rushed
out
to
a
store,
and
I
bought
a
nice
pink
dress
with
a
jacket.
The
dress
was
a
little
tight,
but
I
had
a
month
to
go
before
the
June
30
wedding
and
I
would
lose
a
few
pounds.
June
29
came
and,
of
course,
I
hadn't
lost
a
single
pound;
in
fact
I
had
gained
two.
But
I
figured
a
nice
new
girdle
(紧身内衣)
would
cure
everything.
So
on
our
way
out
of
the
city
we
stopped
once
again
at
the
store.
I
ran
in
and
told
the
clerk
I
needed
a
large
size
girdle.
The
shop
assistant
found
the
box
with
the
described
girdle
marked
“LG”,
and
asked
if
I
would
like
to
try
it
on.
“Oh,
no,
a
large
one
will
fit
just
right.
I
needn't
try
it
on.”
The
next
morning
was
rather
hot,
so
I
waited
to
get
dressed
until
about
45
minutes
before
time
to
go.
I
opened
the
box
only
to
find
a
new
girdle
in
a
small
size.
Since
it
was
too
late
to
find
another
one
and
the
dress
wouldn't
fit
right
without
a
girdle,
a
fight
broke
out
in
the
hotel
room
between
me
and
the
girdle.
Have
you
ever
tried
to
shake
20
pounds
of
potatoes
into
a
five?pound
bag?
That's
it.
Finally
my
husband,
laughing
like
a
crazy,
got
hold
of
each
side
and
shook
me
down
into
it.
At
once
I
put
on
the
pink
dress,
which
didn't
match
my
red
face
well,
and
was
ready
to
go.
Finally
we
got
to
the
church.
I
heard
one
of
the
people
say
that
they
were
having
a
High
Mass.
I
turned
to
my
husband
and
asked,
“What
is
a
High
Mass?”
He
shrugged
his
shoulders.
Unfortunately,
I
learned
that
this
particular
mass
would
last
one
hour,
twenty?two
minutes
and
eight
and
one
half
seconds—the
priest
(神父)
was
going
to
bless
everything
except
my
girdle.
本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者为了参加邻居儿子的婚礼买了一套小一点的衣服准备减肥后穿,结果作者没能减肥,不得已买了紧身衣,但是紧身衣又买小了,导致作者费了很大劲才穿上,不幸的是婚礼持续的时间还很长。
1.The

a
jacket
________.
A.4
weeks
later
B.4
weeks
earlier
C.a
fortnight
earlier
D.a
fortnight
later

dress
was
a

tight,
but
I
had
a
month
to
go
before
the
June
30
wedding
and
I
would
lose
a

pounds.”可知,作者大约提前四周买了这套衣服。故选B。
2.What
had
the
author
wanted
to
do
with
the
tight
dress?
A.To
make
herself
thinner.
B.To
buy
a

解析:推理判断题。根据文章第一段提到的“...I
would
lose
a
few
pounds.”和第二段第一句“June
29
came
and,
of
course,
I
hadn't
lost
a
single
pound;
in
fact
I
had
gained
two.”可知,衣服有点紧,作者原本想减肥后穿它。故选A。
3.What
can
we
know
about
the
author?
A.She
was
very
lucky
to
buy
a
girdle
to
go
with
her
dress.
B.She
had
no
choice
but
to
put
on
the
dress
without
a
girdle.
C.She
complained
to
the
shop
assistant
about
her
carelessness.
D.She
managed
to
put
on
the
girdle
with
her
husband's
help.
答案:D
解析:推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段倒数第二句“Finally
my
husband,
laughing
like
a
crazy,
got
hold
of
each
side
and
shook
me
down
into
it.”可推断,最终在丈夫的帮助下,作者成功穿上了紧身衣。故选D。
4.What
would
be
the
best
title
for
the
passage?
A.A
funny
wedding
B.A
wise
decision
C.A
tight
situation
D.A
fierce
fight
答案:C
解析:主旨大意题。纵观全文可知,文章讲述了作者为了参加一次婚礼买了一套小一点的衣服准备减肥后穿,但是没能减肥,不得已买了紧身衣,结果紧身衣又买小了,导致作者费了很大劲才穿上,不幸的是婚礼持续的时间还很长。因此推断C项“窘迫的处境”最能概括作者的情况。故选C。
B
“How
are
you?”
is
a
nice
question.
It's
a
friendly
way
that
people
in
the
United
States
greet
each
other.
But
“How
are
you?”
is
also
a
very
unusual
question.
It's
a
question
that
often
doesn't
have
an
answer.
The
person
who
asks
“How
are
you?”
hopes
to
hear
the
answer
“Fine.”,
even
if
the
person's
friend
isn't
fine.
The
reason
is
that
“How
are
you?”
isn't
really
a
question
and
“Fine.”
isn't
really
an
answer.
They
are
simply
other
ways
of
saying
“Hello!”
or
“Hi!”
Sometimes,
people
also
don't
say
exactly
what
they
mean.
For
example,
when
someone
asks,
“Do
you
agree?”
The
other
person
might
be
thinking,
“No,
I
disagree.
I
think
you're
wrong...”
But
it
isn't
very
polite
to
disagree
strongly,
so
the
other
person
might
say
“I'm
not
sure...”
It's
a
nice
way
to
say
that
you
don't
agree
with
someone.
People
also
don't
say
exactly
what
they
are
thinking
when
they
finish
talking
with
other
people.
For
example,
many
talks
over
the
phone
finish
when
one
person
says
“I've
to
go
now.”
Often,
the
person
who
wants
to
hang
up
gives
an
excuse,
“Someone
is
at
the
door.”
“Something
is
burning
on
the
stove.”
The
excuses
might
be
real
or
not.
Perhaps
the
person
who
wants
to
hang
up
simply
doesn't
want
to
talk
any
more,
but
it
isn't
polite
to
say
that.
The
excuse
is
more
polite,
and
it
doesn't
hurt
the
other
person.
When
they
are
greeting
each
other,
talking
about
an
idea,
or
finishing
a
talk,
people
often
don't
say
exactly
what
they
are
thinking.
It's
an
important
way
that
people
try
to
be
nice
to
each
other,
and
it's
also
a
part
of
the
game
of
language.
本文主要谈论了在美国人们谈话时一些日常用语的用法,比如“How
are
you?”“I'm
not
sure...”以及结束谈话时的托词等。
5.When
a
person
in
the
United
States
asks
“How
are
you?”
he
or
she
wants
to
hear
“________”.
A.How
are
you?
B.Hello!
C.I
don't
know.
D.Fine.
答案:D
解析:细节理解题。根据第一段第五句“The
person
who
asks
‘How
are
you?’
hopes
to
hear
the
answer
‘Fine.’
...”可知,当一个美国人问“How
are
you?”时,他/她期望得到的回答是“Fine.”。
6.When
a
person
disagrees
with
someone,
it
is
polite
to
say
“______”.
A.You're
wrong.
I
disagree.
B.I'm
not
sure.
C.I'm
sure
I
disagree.
D.No,
I
disagree.
答案:B
解析:细节理解题。根据第二段的“...so
the
other
person
might
say
‘I'm
not
sure...’
It's
a
nice
way
to
say
that
you
don't
agree
with
someone.”可知,礼貌的回答是“不确定”。
7.When
a
person
says
“I've
to
go
now.
Someone
is
at
the
door.”,
he
or
she
may
be
________.
A.giving
an
excuse
B.hurting
someone's
feeling
C.talking
to
a
person
at
the
door
D.going
to
another
place
答案:A
解析:细节理解题。根据第三段的“Often,
the
person
who
wants
to
hang
up
gives
an
excuse,
‘Someone
is
at
the
door.’
‘Something
is
burning
on
the
stove.’”可知,这可能是个借口。Unit

in
the
man's
__5__
and
noticed
that
his
hands
were
bloody,
what
__6__
the
young
man
most
was
the
look
in
the
firefighter's
eyes.
They
appeared
lifeless
and
dull.
Then
the
man
began
to
talk
and
Joe
listened.
He
talked
about
finding
a
shoe
with
a
__7__
inside.
Joe
listened.
He
talked
about
__8__
debris
from
a
face,
then
discovering
this
person's
body
was
gone.
Joe
listened.
And
as
he
listened,
he
didn't
__9__
with
disgust.
He
didn't
judge.
He
didn't
interrupt.
He
__10__
listened.
He
listened
as
the
firefighter
talked
about
shoes...there
were
so
many
shoes,
he
said.
Everywhere...shoes.
Through
it
all
Joe
quietly
held
the

attention
and
listened,
which
is
exactly
what
the
rescue
worker
__11__
at

And
because
he
listened,
the
man
__12__
to
speak.
He
talked
his
__13__
out
as
much
as
possible.
And
Joe
helped
him
carry
his
unbelievably
heavy
burden.
That
day
Joe
didn't
give
blood,
nor
did
he
use
his
__14__
skills
to
help
.
But
he
did
one
of
the
most
__15__
things
a
human
can
do
for
another.
He
gave
a
disheartened
man
his
whole
attention,
and
thereby
immeasurably
assisted
in
the
work
of
setting

Ⅰ.完形填空
Before
my
year
abroad,
everyone
advised
me
to
say
‘yes’
to
everything.
They
weren't
__1__.
However,
here
in
Germany,
“I
don't
mind”
doesn't
seem
to
be
an
acceptable
__2__.
Neither
does
“I'll
do
whatever
you
want
to
do”
or
“Really,
either
way
is
fine
by
me.”
It
really
is
__3__yes
or
no.
Despite
having
a
huge
smile
on
your
face,
most
__4__
will
look
at
you
as
if
you're
incapable
of
__5__a
decision,
which
of
course
isn't
true
and
we're
just
being
really
typically
British.
My
first
encounter
of
this
was
when
I
__6__
my
hotel
for
the
first
two
nights
in
Germany.
The
__7__
asked
when
I
would
like
my
breakfast
in
the
morning.
Being
typically
British,
I
replied
saying
whenever
was
__8__
for
her.
She
gave
me
a
confused
__9__
and
asked
again.
“No,
when
do
you
want
to
have
__10__?”
“Er,
OK...er...8
am?”
she
smiled
and
I
__11__
quickly,
“Only
if
that
is
__12__
for
you
though.”
I
knew
about
the
British
stereotype
of
__13__
before
I
came
abroad.
However,
I
didn't
__14__
how
much
so
until
I
arrived
here
and
began
experiencing
it
on
a
day?to?day
basis.
__15__
give
you
funny
looks
in
restaurants
when
you
say
thank
you
repeatedly
when
they
__16__
all
kinds
of
services.
But
that's
just
right
for
the
British
and
for
everyone
else,
being
so
polite
is
totally
__17__.
And
when
it
comes
to
me
__18__
questions,
it's
even
worse.
“Would
you
be
able
to
do
that
for
me
if
it's
not
too
much
trouble
please?”
just
doesn't
work
here.
You
have
to
be
__19__
and
say
what
you
want.
The
first
time
I
said
“Pass
that
here”
,
my
heart
was
__20__
and
I
could
almost
hear
my
mum
screaming
in
my
head
about
manners.
作者通过与周围人的交流发现,德国人的交流方式和英国人的交流方式有很大的不同,前者直截了当,后者委婉曲折,这代表了不同的语言文化特色。

Ⅱ.阅读理解
Zhang
Hexian,
who
is
94
years
old
this
year,
has
been
protecting
the
members
of
her
village
and
fighting
injustice
for
decades.
She
has
recently
become
a
star
in
Chinese
social
media.
After
photos
and
videos
of
“Kung
Fu
Granny”
practicing
kung
fu
appeared
on
the
Internet,
the
stereotype(刻板印象)
of
inactive
old
women
was
overturned.
According
to
her
son,
Feng
Chuanyin,
she
has
never
been
to
the
hospital—and
never
takes
vitamins
or
supplements.
Zhang
began
learning
kung
fu
from
her
father
at
the
age
of
4
and
has
not
stopped
practicing
her
skills.
She
has
even
become
the
teacher
herself,
according
to
her
students
in
Zhejiang
Province
who
called
her
“wing?footed.”
According
to
Xinhua
News,
Zhang
met
three
robbers
on
a
mountain
and
challenged
them,
asking,
“Dare
you
come
and
fight
me?”
Before
they
could
respond,
two
robbers
felt
the
anger
of
the
kung
fu
Granny
and
were
immediately
taken
down.
The
third
reportedly
escaped
knowing
he
would
not
stand
a
chance.
Because
of
her
ability
to
do
large?pot
cooking
with
her
strong
arms,
kung
fu
has
also
earned
Zhang
the
title
of
best
cook
in
her
village.
She
reportedly
once
cooked
52
dishes
for
a
single
banquet(宴会)
in
the
1970s,
all
by
herself.
Now
at
94,
she
still
stays
true
to
her
talents.
Zhang
continues
the
tradition
of
practicing
kung
fu
with
her
family,
as
she
once
did
with
her
father.
She
has
taught
her
own
children,
grandchildren,
great?grandchildren
her
skills.
She
also
teaches
other
children
in
her
village
kung
fu
for
free.
And
she
says
she'll
keep
practicing
kung
fu
and
keep
teaching
young
people
as
long
as
she
can.
本文是一篇记叙文,94岁的老奶奶因功夫成为网络明星。
1.According
to
Para.2,
practicing
kung
fu________.
A.
makes
Zhang
keep
in
good
health
B.makes
Zhang
become
a
famous
star
C.makes
Zhang's
son
admire
her
very
much
D.makes
Zhang
need
to
add
vitamins
and
supplements
答案:A
解析:推理判断题。根据第二段中的“According
to
her
son,
Feng
Chuanyin,
she
has
never
been
to
the
hospital—and
never
takes
vitamins
or
supplements.”可知,她从未去过医院,也不吃维生素和补品。由此推知,练功夫让张奶奶身体健康。
2.What
can
be
inferred
from
Para.3?
A.Zhang
was
afraid
to
fight
three
robbers.
B.The
three
robbers
were
knocked
down
by
Zhang.
C.Zhang's
practice
once
saved
her.
D.Zhang
met
three
robbers
when
she
was
climbing
the
mountain.
答案:C
解析:推理判断题。根据第三段可知,据新华社报道,张(奶奶)在山里遇到三个劫匪,还挑衅地问道:“你们敢来打我么?”还没有等他们回答,其中的两个劫匪就被张奶奶愤怒的气势吓到,当场束手就擒。还有一个觉得战胜张奶奶希望渺茫,选择了逃跑。由此推知,习武曾救过张(奶奶)自己。
3.Besides
kung
fu,
Zhang
________.
A.is
also
good
at
cooking
B.is
an
employee
of
Xinhua
News
C.knows
how
to
use
social
media
D.devotes
herself
to

答案:A
解析:细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Because
of
her
ability
to
do
large?pot
cooking
with
her
strong
arms,
kung
fu
has
also
earned
Zhang
the
title
of
best
cook
in
her
village.”可知,功夫还让张(奶奶)赢得了村里“最佳大厨”的称号,因为她强壮的手臂,能够驾驭大锅饭的烧制。由此可知,除了功夫,张(奶奶)还擅长烹饪。
4.Which
of
the
following

Ⅲ.读后续写
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。续写的词数应为150左右。
One
Sunday
last
year,
eight
of
us
hiked
for
a
couple
of
hours
through
the
desert
near
San
Diego
to
reach
Thunder
Canyon
Cave.
We
had
to
go
through
a
waterfall
to
get
inside,
so
we
put
on
our
wet
suits
and
lowered
ourselves
30ft
down.
By
11:00
am
we
were
inside.
With
further
climbing,
we
reached
a
nine?inch
crack.
Having
caved
for
four
hours,
I
was
tired
and
wet.
The
group
leader,
Luca,
was
guiding
three
cavers.
One
of
them,
Steve,
in
his
50s,
got
jammed
in
the
crack.
There
was
10
minutes
of
pulling
and
pushing
until
Steve
was
free.
He
was
tired
and
needed
to
leave.
Luca,
assuming
I'd
been
through
the
crack
before,
guided
Steve
through
another
15
minutes
of
cave
to
an
exit.
I
was
the
last
but
one
to
go
through
and
out
of
earshot(听力范围).
I
didn't
realize
that
Luca
wasn't
there—if
I'd
known
it,
I
wouldn't
have
attempted
the
crack,
as
I
needed
an
experienced
guide.
The
challenge
is
to
move
your
feet
first
down
the
length
of
the
crack,
and
then
angle
your
body
sideways
to
swing
along,
before
dropping
five
feet
to
the
floor
of
the
next
space.
On
my
first
attempt,I
knew
I
wouldn't
make
it
through,
but
the
group
encouraged
me
to
try
again.
I
didn't
want
to
inconvenience
anyone
by
having
to
make
the
long
trip
back
through
the
cave,
so
I
backed
out
and
took
off
my
wet
suit.
In
just
my
T?shirt,
I
tried
to
slide
through
again
but
my
hips(臀部)
jammed.
My
feet
were
hanging
on
the
other
side
and
my
left
arm
supported
my
body.
My
hand
rested
on
a
wooden
board
that
had
been
left
covering
rocks
to
protect
cavers
from
slipping.
Luca
returned
and
the
team
tried
everything
to
move
me
as
I
mentally
focused
on
escape.
After
two
hours
my
arm
weakened,
so
I
slid
further
into
the
crack,
where
the
gap
was
only
eight
and
a
half
inches
wide.
My
body
weight
was
then
on
my
left
elbow,
with
my
back
and
chest
touching
the
cold
stone
walls.
The
guy
behind
me,
Jim,
tried
unsuccessfully
to
pull
me
back.
Of
course,
I
was
blocking
his
escape,
too.
答案
Paragraph
1:
With
the
risk
of
hypothermia(体温过低),
the
group
supplied
me
with
jackets
and
bags.
I
was
told
to
keep
moving
but
I
could
only
raise
my
right
arm
slightly
and
look
up
or
down.
Jim
told
stories
to
try
to
keep
me
awake.
I'd
been
trapped
for
five
hours
and
I
no
longer
expected
to
make
it
out
alive.
Paragraph
2:
Luca
finally
found
the
rescue
helicopter.
Three
hours
later
Cave
Rescue
arrived.
They
lifted
the
board
near
my
head
to
angle
me
so
I
could
exit
the
crack.
As
they
began
to
pull
my
feet,
the
walls
painfully
squeezed
me.
When
they
asked
if
they
should
stop,
I
shouted,
“Keep
going!
I
don't
care
anything!
Just
get
me
out!”
When
released,
I
was
truly
joyous
with
freedom.
After
resting
for
20
minutes,
I
managed
to
climb
out
of
Thunder
Canyon
Cave.
Afterwards,
I
was
sent
by
a
helicopter
to
meet
an
ambulance.Unit

I

There's

so
that
everyone
who
walked
by
would
see
the
new
words.
Soon
the
hat
began
to
fill
up.
A
lot
more
people
were
giving
money
to
the
blind
boy.
That
afternoon
the
man
who
had
changed
the
sign
came
to
see
how
things
were.
The
boy
recognized
his
footsteps
and
asked,“Were
you
the
one
who
changed
my
sign
this
morning?
What
did
you
write?”
The
man
said,“I
only
wrote
the
truth.
I
said
what
you
said
but
in
a
different
way.”I
wrote
,
“Today
is
a
beautiful
day,
but
I
cannot
see
it.”

B
The
regular
editor
(编辑)
of
the
agricultural
paper
was
going
off
for
a
holiday,
and
I
took
his
place.
It
was
an
easy
job
since
I've
been
in
the
editorial
business
for
fourteen
years.
I
worked
all
week
with
untiring
pleasure
and
waited
a
day
to
see
whether
my
effort
was
going
to
attract
any
notice.
As
I
went
to
the
office
in
the
morning,
a
group
of
men
stood
outside,
watching
me
with
interest,
and
I
heard
one
or
two
of
them
say“That's
him!”
I
was
naturally
pleased.
After
a
while,
an
old
gentleman
entered
my
office
and
asked
me,
“Are
you
the
new
editor?”
I
said
I
was.
“Have
you
ever
edited
an
agricultural
paper
before?”
“No,”
I
said.
“This
is
my
first
try.”
“I'd
like
to
read
you
this:
‘Turnips
(大头菜)
should
never
be
pulled;
it
injures
them.
It
is
much
better
to
send
a
boy
up
and
let
him
shake
the
tree.’”
“Now,
what
do
you
think
of
that?”
“I
think
it
is
good.
Every
year
millions
and
millions
of
turnips
are
damaged
by
being
pulled.
If
they
had
sent
a
boy
up
to
shake
the
tree...”
“Shake
your
grandmother!
Turnips
don't
grow
on
trees!”
“Oh,
they
don't?
Well,
who
said
they
did?
The
language
was
intended
to
be
figurative(比喻的).”
Then
this
old
person
tore
his
paper
into
pieces,
and
went
out.
Pretty
soon
after
this,
the
editor
came
in,
looking
sad
and
confused.
He
said,
“What
put
it
into
your
head
that
you
could
edit
a
paper
of
nature?
You
talk
of
the
moulting
(换羽毛)
season
for
cows;
and
you
say
that
clams
(蛤蜊)
will
lie
quiet
if
music
was
played
to
them.
Nonsense!
Clams
always
lie
quiet
and
they
care
nothing
whatever
about
music.
Ah,
heavens
and
earth,
friend!
Why
didn't
you
tell
me
you
didn't
know
anything
about
agriculture?”
本文是记叙文,文章主要介绍了作者接下一份农业报代理编辑的工作并编出一份让人啼笑皆非的报纸的经历。
24.How
did
the
author
feel
at
the
first
sight
of
the
men?
A.Frightened.
B.Confused.
C.Angry.
D.Happy.
答案:D
解析:细节理解题。根据第二段末句“I
was
naturally
pleased”可知,作者看到很多人站在自己的办公室门外,理所当然地认为自己编辑的农业报大获成功,感到非常高兴。
25.What
can
we
infer
about
the
author?
A.He
was
full
of
creative
ideas.
B.He
was
a
newcomer
to
the
editing
business.
C.He
had
no
experience
in
editing
agricultural
papers.
D.He
couldn't
tell
the
difference
between
certain
plants.
答案:C
解析:细节理解题。根据文中作者和老先生的对话“Have
you
ever
edited
an
agricultural
paper
before?”
“No,”
I
said.
“This
is
my
first
try.”可知,作者对于编辑农业报毫无经验。
26.Why
did
the
old
gentleman
read
the
article
to
the
author?
A.To
ask
for
the
author's
opinion.
B.To
point
out
the
author's
mistake.
C.To
find
out
if
it
was
written
by
the
author.
D.To
discuss
the
use
of
language
with
the
author.
答案:B
解析:推理判断题。根据老先生在撕碎报纸前说的“Shake
your
grandmother!
Turnips
don't
grow
on
trees!”可知,老先生给作者读那篇文章是想指出作者的错误。
27.What
was
the
editor's
reaction
to
the
author?
A.He
expressed
thanks
to
the
author.
B.He
was
strongly
dissatisfied
with
the
author.
C.He
praised
the
author
for
his
humorous
language.
D.He
asked
the
author
to
improve
his
agricultural
knowledge.
答案:B
解析:推理判断题。根据农业报编辑在最后一段一一指出作者的荒唐之处(牛换毛的季节、给蛤蜊奏乐就可以使它规规矩矩待着不动)并认为作者对农业一窍不通可知,他对作者非常不满。
C
The
American
Thanksgiving
holiday
is
on
Thursday.
Many
people
will
get
together
with
family
members
for
a
big
meal.
It
is
a
time
to
celebrate
family,
friends
and
everything
there
is
to
be
thankful
for.
But
some
people
do
not
look
forward
to
spending
a
lot
of
time
with
their
family.
It
can
be
stressful.
Family
members
can
start
arguments
with
each
other.
Some
people
at
the
meal
may
have
conflicting
(冲突的)
political
beliefs.
Conflict
can
even
find
its
way
into
the
kitchen,
where
all
the
cooking
takes
place.
There
is
a
saying
called
“too
many
cooks
in
the
kitchen.”
This
means
that,
sometimes,
if
many
people
are
trying
to
do
a
project
together,
it
does
not
turn
out
as
well
as
it
could
have
if
only
one
person
were
in
charge.
That
is
why
people
are
offering
Thanksgiving
survival
ideas
on
Twitter.
Rick
Irwin
had
one.
“Say
that
you're
letting
the
dog
out
and
use
it
as
an
excuse
to
disappear
for
several
hours.”
Tracy
Brooks
had
a
suggestion
for
limiting
Thanksgiving
dinner
responsibilities.
She
wrote,
“Be
the
last
to
arrive
and
the
first
to
leave.”
Since
there
is
so
much
food
at
the
Thanksgiving
meal,
Christine
Turner
suggested
forgetting
about
your
diet
and
wearing
loose
clothing.
But,
one
fitness
expert
said
people
do
not
have
to
give
up
on
their
diets
during
the
big
meal.
They
can
prepare
foods
that
have
fewer
calories
(卡路里).
For
example,
they
could
bake
some
foods
instead
of
frying
them
in
oil.
But
other
people
are
looking
forward
to
the
holiday.
Sara
Marie
Brenner
wondered
why
people
need
to
“survive”
Thanksgiving
at
all.
She
wrote,
“I
enjoy
the
holiday.”
本文是议论文。文章主要介绍了人们对感恩节所持的不同看法。
28.Why
do
some
people
dislike
having
Thanksgiving
with
their
family?
A.Some
disagreements
may
arise.
B.They
live
far
away
from
each
other.
C.They
have
distant
family
relationships.
D.The
traditional
cooking
takes
up
too
much
time.
答案:A
解析:细节理解题。第二段中的“Family
members
can
start
arguments
with
each
other.”解释了为什么有些人不愿意和家人一起过感恩节。
29.Which
of
the
following
is
an
example
of
“too
many
cooks
in
the
kitchen”?
A.Many
friends
came
to
help
but
ruined
my
plan.
B.Nobody
is
willing
to
help
me
when
I'm
in
trouble.
C.I
don't
know
who
to
choose
from
the
many
helpers.
D.Many
cooks
don't
know
more
about
cooking
than
I.
答案:A
解析:推理判断题。根据第二段中的“This
means
that,
sometimes,
if
many
people
are
trying
to
do
a
project
together,
it
does
not
turn
out
as
well
as
it
could
have
if
only
one
person
were
in
charge.”可知A项内容符合该句的意思。
30.What
advice
does
Christine
offer
on
Thanksgiving
diet?
A.Preparing
low?calorie
foods.
B.Limiting
food
intake.
C.Enjoying
the
food.
D.Baking
foods.
答案:C
解析:细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Christine
Turner
suggested
forgetting
about
your
diet
and
wearing
loose
clothing.”可知,Christine认为应该尽情享受感恩节大餐。
31.What
is
Sara's
attitude
towards
Thanksgiving?
A.Worried.
B.Positive.
C.Critical.
D.Uninterested.
答案:B
解析:细节理解题。根据末段中的“Sara
Marie
Brenner
wondered
why
people
need
to
‘survive’
Thanksgiving
at
all.
She
wrote,‘I
enjoy
the
holiday.’”可知,Sara喜欢感恩节。
D
Bill
Gates
and
the
president
of
General
Motors
have
met
for
lunch,
and
Bill
is
going
on
and
on
about
computer
technology.
“If
automotive
technology
had
kept
pace
with
computer
technology
over
the
past
few
decades,
you
would
now
be
driving
a
V?32
instead
of
a
V?8,
and
it
would
have
a
top
speed
of
10,000
miles
per
hour,”
says
Gates.
“Or,
you
could
have
an
economy
car
that
weighs
30
pounds
and
gets
a
thousand
miles
to
a
gallon
of
gas.
In
either
case,
the
sticker
price
of
a
new
car
would
be
less
than
$50.
Why
haven't
you
guys
kept
up?”
The
president
of
GM
smiles
and
says,
“Because
the
federal
government
won't
let
us
build
cars
that
crash
four
times
a
day.”
Why
is
that
funny
(or
not
funny,
as
the
case
may
be)?
Human
beings
love
to
laugh,
and
the
average
adult
laughs
17
times
a
day.
Humans
love
to
laugh
so
much
that
there
are
actually
industries
built
around
laughter.
Jokes,
sitcoms
and
comedians
are
all
designed
to
get
us
laughing,
because
laughing
feels
good.
For
us
it
seems
so
natural,
but
the
funny
thing
is
that
humans
are
one
of
the
only
species
that
laughs.
Laughter
is
actually
a
complex
response
that
involves
many
of
the
same
skills
used
in
solving
problems.
Laughter
is
a
great
thing—that's
why
we've
all
heard
the
saying,
“Laughter
is
the
best
medicine.”There
is
strong
evidence
that
laughter
can
actually
improve
health
and
help
fight
disease.
In
this
article,
we'll
look
at
laughter—what
it
is,
what
happens
in
our
brains
when
we
laugh,
what
makes
us
laugh
and
how
it
can
make
us
healthier
and
happier.
You'll
also
learn
that
there's
a
tremendous
amount
that
no
one
understands
yet.
本文是一篇文章的引言。作者通过比尔·盖茨和通用汽车公司总裁的幽默谈话向我们讲述了“笑”的作用:有益于我们的身体健康,增强抵抗疾病的能力。
32.What's
the
best
title
of
the
passage?
A.Laughter
B.The
joke
between
Gates
and
the
president
of
General
Motors
C.Why
do
we
laugh?
D.Laughter
and
health
答案:D
解析:标题归纳题。纵观全文可以看出,文章通过一个幽默谈话引出了笑的作用:有益于我们的身体健康,增强抵抗疾病的能力。
33.Which
one
is
NOT
true
according
to
the
passage?
A.Computer
technology
has
developed
quickly
during
the
past
few
decades.
B.Automotive
technology
has
developed
as
fast
as
computer
technology
according
to
Bill
Gates.
C.The
president
of
GM
thinks
it
is
impossible
to
build
cars
worth
less
than
50
dollars.
D.If
cars
were
less
than
50
dollars,
a
large
number
of
accidents
would
happen
per
day.
答案:B
解析:细节理解题。文章第一段中的“If
automotive
technology
had...instead
of
a
V?8”用的是虚拟语气,故该句中的描述与事实不符,即汽车科技没有以电脑科技发展的速度发展。
34.The
underlined
word
“sitcoms”
in
Paragraph
3
means
“________”.
A.situation
comedies
B.tragedies
C.body
language
D.fictions
答案:A
解析:词义猜测题。该词的意思应和前面的“Jokes(笑话)”以及后面的“comedians(喜剧演员)”接近,故选A。而“tragedies(悲剧)”“body
language(身势语)”“fictions(小说)”均不在此列。
35.This
passage
is
most
probably
an
________.
A.introduction
of
an
article
about
Microsoft
B.introduction
of
an
article
about
laughter
C.article
about
laughter
D.introduction
of
an
article
about
General
Motors
答案:B
解析:推理判断题。由最后一段的后半部分尤其是“In
this
article,
we'll...”可以看出,该文是一篇文章的引言,用来吸引读者,介绍文章的内容。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Most
of
us
believe
that
we
know
ourselves
better
than
anyone
else
in
this
world.
But
a
lot
of
people
are
still
strangers
to
themselves.
Why?
__36__
If
you
are
one
of
those
who
are
struggling
to
know
yourself
better,
these
steps
will
guide
you.
Take
a
moment
to
write
down
things
that
you
know
“very
well”
about
yourself—your
interests,
likes,
hobbies,
strengths,
weaknesses,
hopes,
fears,
dreams,
etc.
__37__
By
creating
a
list
of
your
personal
characteristics
that
you
are
familiar
with,
you
are
keeping
yourself
in
touch
with
yourself.
__38__
This
is
another
way
to
know
yourself
better.
The
Internet
has
a
rich
source
of
free
online
personality
and
psychological
assessments
and
tests.
By
answering
them,
you
will
understand
more
about
how
you
think,
make
decisions,
interact
with
people,
do
things,
choose
your
mate,
live
your
life,
etc.
Know
yourself
better
by
understanding
people's
judgement
on
you.
__39__
Sometimes,
you
think
you
know
yourself
enough,
but
other
people
who
see
you
from
their
point
of
view
can
offer
you
some
insights
(了解)
about
how
you
act
and
get
understood
by
others.
__40__
It's
a
lifetime
process.
Every
day
you
will
be
given
new
insights
about
yourself.
Writing
a
journal
will
help
you
keep
track
of
these
new
discoveries.
Maintaining
that
hunger
to
know
yourself
better
will
make
you
more
self?aware,
opening
up
new
opportunities
to
enrich
your
life.
A.Keep
on
learning
who
you
are.
B.Take
personality
and
psychological
tests.
C.Get
more
information
on
personalities
to
build
up
your
confidence.
D.Reflect
on
these
qualities
and
find
out
how
they
have
an
effect
on
your
life.
E.In
order
to
have
a
balanced
and
happy
life,
you
should
know
yourself
well.
F.Pay
attention
to
what
your
family,
friends
and
co?workers
observe
and
say
about
you.
G.Not
everyone
is
courageous
enough
to
travel
the
path
within
to
achieve
a
better
self?understanding.
本文介绍了如何更好地了解自己。
36.G 解析:空前说很多人还是不了解自己,这是为什么呢?所以空处应是对此做出回答,故G项“并不是每个人都有勇气探索内心,实现更好的自我了解”符合文意,故选G。
37.D 解析:空前说写下一些关于自己的东西,D项中的qualities
即指上文中提到的写下的东西,故选D。

free
online
personality
and
psychological
assessments
and
tests”可知本段建议做一些性格和心理测试。
39.F 解析:由下文“other
people
who
see
you
from...by
others”可知F项“注意听取家人、朋友和同事对自己的评价”符合文意,故选F。

阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
We
all
know
that
eating
too
much
junk
food
is
bad
for
our
health,
and
unhealthy
foods
are
the
main
__41__
why
the
world
is
fatter
and
sicker
than
ever
before.
But
did
you
know
that
eating
some
kinds
of
__42__
foods
could
be
just
as
bad
for
you?
__43__,
some
of
these
foods
which
are
considered
healthy
by
many
people
turn
out
to
be
unhealthy
and
the
truth
was
quite
__44__.
Michel
Simon,
who
founded
the
Centre
for
Informed
Food
Choices
in
the
USA,
__45__
there
are
sugary
sports
drinks
that
are
as
unhealthy
as
cola.
“Sports
drinks
were
__46__
for
athletes.
These
drinks
contain
salt
and
sugar,
which
can
be
useful
for
athletes
in
many
cases.__47__,
most
regular
people
don't
need
any
additional
salt,
__48__
they
certainly
have
no
need
for
liquid
(液态的)
sugar.
These
__49__
may
end
up
doing
more
__50__
than
good
for
kids
doing
ordinary
exercise.”
Breakfast
cereals
(谷类食物),
which
are
greatly
__51__
by
kids,
have
also
been
criticized.
While
they
are
often
high
in
fiber,
some
of
them
contain
a
lot
more
sugar
and
salt
than
you
would
__52__.
In
addition,
some
of
the
foods
we
have
come
to
know
as
“healthy
snacks”
have
__53__
been
added
to
the
black
list.
Although
they
look
and
sound
nutritious,
in
most
cases
they
are
much
tastier
than
they
are
healthy
for
you.
For
example,
some
types
of
dried
fruit
were
__54__
to
have
more
fat
and
sugar
than
the
fruit
they
were
produced
from.
So
next
time
you
__55__
to
cut
down
on
junk
food,
think
twice
about
what
you
end
up
eating
instead.

56.noticed

57.An
解析:考查冠词。man在文中第一次提到,应用不定冠词,且elderly的读音以元音音素开头,故填An。

解析:考查非谓语动词。空处与句子主语是主谓关系,应用现在分词作伴随状语,并与hitting并列,故填turning。
59.nervously
解析:考查词性转换。副词作状语修饰动词。故填nervously。

On
the
Christmas
of
1949
we
didn't
have
a
tree.
My
dad
had
as
much
pride
as
anybody,
I
suppose,
so
he
wouldn't
just
say
that
we
couldn't
afford
one.
When
I
mentioned
it,
my
mother
said
that
we
weren't
going
to
have
one
this
year,
that
we
couldn't
afford
one,
and
even
if
we
could,
it
was
stupid
to
decorate
your
house
with
a
dead
tree.
I
wanted
a
tree
badly
and
I
thought
that
if
we
had
one,
everybody
would
feel
better.
About
three
days
before
Christmas,
I
was
out
collecting
for
my
paper
route.
It
was
fairly
late—long
after
dark
and
it
was
snowing
and
very
cold.
I
went
to
an
apartment
building
to
try
to
catch
a
customer
who
hadn't
paid
me
for
my
newspapers
for
nearly
two
months—she
owed
me
seven
dollars.
Much
to
my
surprise,
she
was
at
home.
She
invited
me
in,
and
not
only
did
she
pay
me,
but
also
gave
me
a
dollar
tip!
It
was
a
windfall
for
me—I
now
had
eight
whole
dollars.
What
happened
next
was
totally
unplanned.
On
the
way
home,
I
walked
past
a
Christmas
tree
shop
and
an
idea
hit
me.
There
was
a
real
nice
tree.
It
had
been
a
very
expensive
tree
and
no
one
had
bought
it.
Now
it
was
so
close
to
Christmas
that
the
man
was
afraid
no
one
would
buy
it.
He
wanted
ten
dollars
for
it,
but
when
I
—
in
my
childish
innocence
—
told
him
I
only
had
eight,
he
said
he
might
sell
it
for
that.
I
really
didn't
want
to
spend
the
whole
eight
dollars
on
the
tree,
but
it
was
so
pretty
that
I
finally
agreed.
I
dragged
it
all
the
way
home,
about
a
mile.
Along
the
way
I
tried
hard
not
to
damage
it
or
break
off
any
branches.
It
was
still
in
pretty
good
shape
when
I
got
home.
I
propped(支撑)
it
up
against
the
railing(栅栏)
on
our
front
porch(走廊)
and
went
in.
答案
Paragraph
1:
My
heart
was
bursting
as
I
announced
that
I
had
a
surprise.
I'd
been
picturing
my
dad's
furious
face
a
million
times
on
my
way
home,
as
he
valued
his
self?esteem
too
much
to
accept
that
his
son
purchased
something
he
couldn't
afford.
But
I
still
didn't
dare
to
look
at
him
in
the
eye.
After
I
told
them
I
spent
the
eight
whole
dollars
on
it,
the
house
sank
into
silence,
with
only
the
sound
of
the
drifting
rustling
Christmas
snow.
Obviously,
they
were
shocked.
I
was
almost
sure
I
made
a
stupid
deal
until
I
heard
Mum
shout,
“WOW!
That's
the
best
surprise
I've
ever
received
from
my
son!”
Paragraph
2:
Dad
and
I
brought
the
tree
in
and
we
made
a
stand
for
it.
It
was
undeniably
the
most
beautiful
Christmas
tree,
gigantic
as
a
hill,
upright
as
a
soldier.
While
decorating
it,
I
stole
a
glimpse
at
my
dad,
and
to
my
surprise,
he
had
tears
in
his
eyes.
And
I
could
tell
those
were
tears
of
joy.
That
was
the
first
time
I
had
felt
like
I
did
something
great.
