A
With
their
pipes
and
lids
to
avoid
spills，coffee
cups
have
long
been
the
substitute
for
adults.Now
Starbucks
is
going
all
in
on
the
concept
by
swearing
to
get
rid
of
straws
in
the
next
few
years—and
it's
all
for
a
very
good
reason.This
move
is
an
answer
to
our
own
partners
about
what
we
can
do
to
reduce
the
need
for
straws.Not
using
a
straw
is
the
best
thing
we
can
do
for
the
environment.
In
place
of
plastic
straws，Starbucks
plans
to
offer
recyclable
lids
for
all
iced
drinks
and
paper
straws
for
coffee.The
transition
is
already
taking
place
in
Starbucks'
hometown
of
Seattle，where
a
ban
on
plastic
straws
went
into
place
on
July
1.By
rolling
this
out
in
all
28，000
of
their
stores
in
the
next
few
years，the
company
says
they
are
annually
removing
more
than
one
billion
straws
from
going
into
circulation—and
potentially
the
ocean.
Starbucks'
decision
to
gradually
stop
using
single?use
plastic
straws
is
a
shining
example
of
the
important
role
that
companies
can
play
in
stopping
the
tide
of
ocean
plastic.With
eight
million
metric
tons
of
plastic
entering
the
ocean
every
year，we
cannot
afford
to
let
industry
sit
on
the
sidelines.Marine
life
has
a
50%
death
rate
when
it
swallows
plastic—yet
researchers
believe
there
will
be
more
plastic
in
the
ocean
than
fish
by
the
year
2050
if
this
rate
of
litter
continues.That
means
there
can
be
an
immediate
positive
impact
if
we
swap
plastic
straws
for
environmentally
friendly
alternatives.
The
smart
design
on
the
cup
for
cold
drinks
comes
from
Starbucks'
in?house
team
of
designers
and
has
been
in
development
for
two
years.However，the
announcement
comes
as
outcry(倒彩)increases
over
the
dangers
that
plastic
straws
can
cause
to
marine
life.Other
companies
making
the
eco?friendly
swap
also
announced
plans
last
month
to
test
alternatives
to
plastic
straws.

A [主旨大意题。本文讲述了Starbucks提出不使用塑料吸管来减少白色污染，保护地球的概念。故A项为最佳答案。]
B
Every
ocean
lover
knows
the
dangers
of
getting
caught
in
a
rip
current(离岸流)．Experienced
swimmers
know
it
is
relatively
easy
to
escape
the
narrow
channel
of
the
fast
moving
water
by
floating
and
allowing
it
to
drag
you
further
into
the
ocean
or
by
swimming
alongside
the
shore.However，inexperienced
beachgoers
often
panic，and
try
to
swim
to
land，placing
themselves
at
the
risk
of
drowning
due
to
tiredness.According
to
the
US
National
Ocean
Service，the
currents
kill
about
100
Americans
each
year
and
account
for
80%
of
all
lifeguard
rescues.These
scary
statistics
may
soon
be
a
thing
of
the
past，thanks
to
Clever
Girl，a
smart
buoy(浮标)that
warns
swimmers
of
the
presence
of
deadly
rip
currents.
The
smart
device
is
the
brainchild
of
Australian
teenager
Maddison
King，who
created
Clever
Girl
as
a
project
for
her
Grade
12
Design
and
Technology
class.The
18?year?old，who
works
as
a
lifeguard
during
her
spare
time，came
up
with
the
brilliant
idea
after
discovering
that
most
children
were
unable
to
detect
rip
currents.
The
basketball?sized
plastic
buoy，which
can
be
attached
to
a
chain
of
similar
devices
or
the
ocean
floor，is
fitted
with
a
small
propeller(螺旋桨)．When
the
water
travels
at
the
speed
of
over
70
centimetres
per
second，it
spins
the
propeller
fast
enough
to
power
the
light
atop
the
buoy，warning
swimmers
to
stay
clear
of
the
area.
Though
it
sounds
simple
enough，the
youngster
had
to
overcome
numerous
design
challenges.For
instance，she
picked
a
red
light
since
it
is
easy
to
see
in
the
bright
sunlight
and
also
because
the
color
serves
as
a
universal
warning
sign
for
tourists
that
do
not
speak
the
local
language.The
device's
smooth
surface
and
high
handles
ensure
swimmers
do
not
get
hurt，while
the
black，white，and
red
striped
underside，keeps
sharks
and
other
animals
at
bay.
Future
versions
might
include
something
like
a
warning
siren，which
would
provide
sound
warnings
of
rip
currents.Besides，the
present
model
costs
about
$300
to
make.“That's
beyond
my
purse，”
she
laughs.“The
cost
has
to
be
cut
down.”
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。在海里游泳时，一些缺乏经验的游泳者遇到高速的离岸流时常常感到恐惧，并试图游向陆地，最终因疲劳而溺水身亡。受做临时救生员工作经历的启发，Maddison
King发明了一种装置，能在离岸流达到一定速度时发出预警，从而使人们避免误入高速洋流。
4．Which
of
the
following
is
the
right
way
to
escape
the
rip
current?
A．Waiting
for
rescues.
B．Swimming
to
the
shore.
C．Moving
fast
in
the
water.
D．Floating
with
the
water.
D [细节理解题。根据第一段第二句可知，有经验的游泳者知道，通过在快速流动的水中漂浮，让流水带着自己流入海洋或沿着海岸游泳是逃离离岸流的有效方法。故选D项。]
5．Why
did
Maddison
decide
to
invent
Clever
Girl?
A．She
wanted
to
challenge
her
creativity.
B．She
was
motivated
by
her
working
experience.
C．She
was
supposed
to
complete
it
for
her
class.
D．She
was
scared
by
the
statistics
of
the
government.
B [细节理解题。根据第二段第二句可知，18岁的Maddison
King在业余时间做救生员，她发现大多数孩子都无法察觉到离岸流，最终会因为疲劳而使自己处于溺水的危险之中，故B项正确。]
6．What
do
we
know
about
the
present
version
of
Clever
Girl?
A．It's
not
available
on
the
market.
B．It's
quite
attractive
for
sea
animals.
C．It's
based
on
a
complex
theory.
D．It
can
give
warnings
in
different
ways.
A [推理判断题。根据第一段可知，每年大约有100个美国人死于离岸流，但这些可怕的统计数据可能很快成为过去，这多亏了警告浮标装置——
Clever
Girl。结合最后一段可知，这种装置的成本很高，且未形成成品；据此可以判断，其目前样本还没有投放市场。故选A项。]
7．What
could
the
future
version
of
Clever
Girl
be
like?
A．Safer
and
greener.
B．Cheaper
and
safer.
C．Greener
and
more
effective.
D．Cheaper
and
more
effective.
D [推理判断题。根据最后一段最后两句可知，这种产品目前的样本成本大约是300美元，在将来成本可能会下降；根据最后一段第一句可知，这种产品会更有效。故选D项。]
Ⅱ.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。
Zigfried，a
little
mouse，once
lived
happily
in
a
farmhouse
with
his
parents.They
got
a
lot
of
food
from
the
kitchen
easily，because
the
owner
of
the
farmhouse
was
very
rich.For
Zigfried
and
his
parents，Christmas
was
their
favorite.On
that
day，they
could
get
lots
of
delicious
food
than
ever
like
chicken，chocolate
and
cheese.Every
time
his
father
would
bring
a
big
chicken
leg
back
for
Zigfried.To
Zigfried，wonderful
food
was
his
Christmas'
miracle.
Unfortunately，Zigfried's
father
was
caught
by
a
cat
when
he
was
hanging
around.Years
later，his
mother
died
because
of
illness
and
the
owner
of
the
farmhouse
moved
to
the
city.Happy
days
were
away
from
Zigfried
from
then
on.All
the
things
had
already
been
changed，there
was
no
food
anymore
in
the
farmhouse
and
no
family，and
all
the
rooms
were
empty.
New
year
was
coming
again，Zigfried
blew
his
breath
on
the
frosty
window
of
the
farmhouse
and
rubbed
it
to
see
the
outside.Still
nobody
came.Maybe
today，he
thought
hopefully.It
was
only
a
few
days
before
Christmas
and
he
was
waiting
for
a
miracle.A
miracle
liked
the
old
times，which
he
has
been
waiting
for
a
long
time.
This
farmhouse
had
been
empty
for
too
long.It
needed
a
family.Zigfried's
stomach
made
a
noise.He
realized
that
he
hadn't
eaten
anything
since
yesterday.He
jumped
from
the
windowsill(窗沿)，grabbed
a
bag
from
his
home，and
went
next
door
to
Farmer
Mike's.
Farmer
Mike's
house
had
been
a
great
place
for
the
little
mouse
until
the
farmer
married
a
wife
who
had
a
cat.Zigfried
trembled
when
he
thought
of
it.He
looked
around
cautiously
as
he
stole
into
the
room
where
grain
was
stored
and
was
quite
nervous
as
he
filled
his
bag
with
wheat.He
was
turning
to
leave
when
suddenly
he
felt
a
hot
breath
about
his
ear.His
heart
beat
wildly，and
without
thinking
he
started
to
run
but
the
cat
kept
chasing
him.Zigfried
was
very
familiar
with
the
house
and
luckily
escaped
the
cat's
paws(爪子)．
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式作答。
Paragraph
1：
The
next
afternoon
Zigfried
heard
some
good
news：
Paragraph
2：
The
house
came
alive
the
next
few
days.
【参考范文】
Paragraph
1：
The
next
afternoon
Zigfried
heard
some
good
news：a
new
family
would
be
moving
into
the
farmhouse
soon.Zigfried's
granny
would
arrive
on
Christmas
Eve
to
celebrate
with
him.He
hoped
that
the
family
would
come
before
his
granny
came.Before
long，a
car
came
up
the
road
leading
to
the
house，with
butter
sandwiches，cheese
and
chocolate.Zigfried's
Christmas
miracle
did
arrive!
Paragraph
2：
The
house
came
alive
the
next
few
days.Zigfried
enjoyed
every
single
hour
of
them.However，the
day
before
Christmas
when
he
was
drinking
hot
chocolate
with
a
satisfied
smile
at
the
door
of
his
home，he
heard
the
discussion
of
the
children
of
the
family
about
what
they
might
get
for
Christmas.What?
A
cat？The
smile
froze
on
his
face；his
mouth
fell
wide
open.After
a
long
while，he
at
last
found
his
voice：“Hey!
Whose
Christmas
miracle
is
this？”

Ⅱ.阅读理解
A
For
Western
designers,
China
and
its
rich
culture
have
long
been
an
inspiration
for
Western
creative.
“It's
no
secret
that
China
has
always
been
a
source(来源)of
inspiration
for
designers，”
says
Amanda
Hill,
chief
creative
officer
at
A＋E
Networks,
a
global
media
company
and
home
to
some
of
the
biggest
fashion(时尚)shows.
Earlier
this
year,
the
China
Through
A
Looking
Glass
exhibition
in
New
York
exhibited
140
pieces
of
China?inspired
fashionable
clothing
alongside
Chinese
works
of
art,
with
the
aim
of
exploring
the
influence
of
Chinese
aesthetics(美学)on
Western
fashion
and
how
China
has
fueled
the
fashionable
imagination
for
centuries.The
exhibition
had
record
attendance,
showing
that
there
is
huge
interest
in
Chinese
influences.
“China
is
impossible
to
overlook，”
says
Hill.“Chinese
models
are
the
faces
of
beauty
and
fashion
campaigns
that
sell
dreams
to
women
all
over
the
world,
which
means
Chinese
women
are
not
just
consumers
of
fashion
－
they
are
central
to
its
movement.”Of
course，not
only
are
today's
top
Western
designers
being
influenced
by
China—some
of
the
best
designers
of
contemporary
fashion
are
themselves
Chinese.“Vera
Wang,
Alexander
Wang,
Jason
Wu
are
taking
on
Galliano,
Albaz,
Marc
Jacobs—and
beating
them
hands
down
in
design
and
sales，”
adds
Hill.
For
Hill,
it
is
impossible
not
to
talk
about
China
as
the
leading
player
when
discussing
fashion.“The
most
famous
designers
are
Chinese,
so
are
the
models,
and
so
are
the
consumers，”
she
says.“China
is
no
longer
just
another
market;
in
many
senses
it
has
become
the
market.If
you
talk
about
fashion
today,
you
are
talking
about
China－its
influences,
its
direction,
its
breathtaking
clothes,
and
how
young
designers
and
models
are
finally
acknowledging
that
in
many
ways.”
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇新闻报道。文章以国外视角报道中国文化及中国美学对国际时尚的影响，展现了中国对国际时尚和设计发展的引领作用。这篇文章通过在试题情境中融入中国优秀传统文化和美学知识，引导考生在关注和提高审美情趣的同时，坚定理想信念，增强文化自信，树立正确的价值观。
1．What
can
we
learn
about
the
exhibition
in
New
York?
A．It
promoted
the
sales
of
artworks.
B．It
attracted
a
large
number
of
visitors.
C．It
showed
ancient
Chinese
clothes.
D．It
aimed
to
introduce
Chinese
models.
B [推理判断题。由题干中的the
exhibition
in
New
York定位到原文第三段。本段中并没有提到这次展览促进了艺术品的销售，也没有提到展示了中国古代的服装，故排除A、C两项；由“The
exhibition
had
record
attendance，showing
that
there
is
huge
interest
in
Chinese
influences.(此次展览吸引了破纪录的出席者，显示出人们对中国影响的浓厚兴趣)”可知，B项表述正确；由原文中的“...with
the
aim
of
exploring
the
influence
of
Chinese
aesthetics
（美学）on
Western
fashion
and
how
China
has
fueled
the
fashionable
imagination
for
centuries.(……旨在探索中国美学对西方时尚的影响，以及几个世纪以来中国是如何激发时尚想象力的)”可知，这次展览的目的不是介绍中国模特儿，故D项表述错误。]
2．What
does
Hill
say
about
Chinese
women?
A．They
are
setting
the
fashion.
B．They
start
many
fashion
campaigns.
C．They
admire
super
models.
D．They
do
business
all
over
the
world.
A [推理判断题。由原文第四段中Hill说的“...Chinese
women
are
not
just
consumers
of
fashion—they
are
central
to
its
movement.(……中国女性不仅是时尚的消费者——她们是这场运动的核心)”可以推断出，她们正在引领潮流，故选A项。B项“她们发起许多时尚运动”，C项“她们崇拜超模”，D项“她们在世界各地做生意”，均不符合此处的语境。]
3．What
do
the
underlined
words
“taking
on”
in
Paragraph
4
mean?
A．learning
from
B．looking
down
on
C．working
with
D．competing
against
D [词义猜测题。由画线词后面的“beating
them
hands
down
in
design
and
sales(在设计和销售方面轻而易举地击败他们)”可知，take
on此处意为“与……较量”，故选D项competing
against。learn
from向……学习；look
down
on轻视，瞧不起；work
with与……共事。]
4．What
can
be
a
suitable
title
for
the
text?
A．Young
Models
Selling
Dreams
to
the
World
B．A
Chinese
Art
Exhibition
Held
in
New
York
C．Differences
Between
Eastern
and
Western
Aesthetics
D．Chinese
Culture
Fueling
International
Fashion
Trends
D [标题归纳题。通读全文可知，文章的第一段就点明了主题：对于西方设计师来说，长期以来中国及其丰富的文化一直是西方创作者的灵感来源。接下来Amanda
Hill对中国文化和中国美学对国际时尚的影响进行了评价，由此可知，中国文化推动了国际时尚潮流，故D项作为文章的标题最合适。Hill说中国模特儿是向全世界女性贩卖梦想的美丽和时尚活动的代言人，旨在强调中国女性在时尚方面的重要性；在纽约举办的中国艺术展只是文章提到的一个事例，不是文章论述的中心；文章中没有提到东西方在审美方面的不同，因此A、B、C三项均不能概括全文。]
B
Studies
have
shown
a
direct
link
between
goals
and
improved
performance
in
both
sports
and
business.Earl
Nightingale
put
it
this
way，“People
with
goals
succeed
because
they
know
where
they
are
going.It's
as
simple
as
that.”
DrMaxwell
Maltz，author
of
the
classic
Psycho?Cybernetics，said
that
human
beings
have
a
built?in
goal
seeking
“success
mechanism(机制)”that
is
part
of
the
subconscious(潜意识的)mind.This
success
mechanism
is
constantly
searching
for
ways
to
help
us
reach
our
targets
and
find
answers
to
our
problems.According
to
Maltz，we
feel
better
when
our
success
mechanism
keeps
going
after
clear
targets.All
we
have
to
do
to
use
this
mechanism
is
give
it
a
target.
One
important
reason
goal
setters
achieve
such
outstanding
results
is
that
they
have
learned
how
to
focus
and
concentrate
their
time，energy
and
resources(资源)on
a
single
goal，even
though
it
is
just
for
a
few
hours
at
a
time.One
major
time
management
challenge
we
are
facing
today
is
that
there
are
more
things
available
for
us
to
do
than
anyone
could
possibly
attempt，let
alone
accomplish
in
an
entire
lifetime.If
we
are
not
careful，it
is
very
easy
to
waste
our
time
on
unimportant
things.
Most
significant
accomplishments
are
accompanied
with
difficulties，struggles
and
failures.Thomas
Edison
failed
over
one
thousand
times
before
he
finally
discovered
a
way
to
make
the
light
bulb
work.It
is
very
rare
for
something
important
to
be
accomplished
successfully
on
the
very
first
try.If
you
want
to
achieve
anything
significant，it
is
likely
that
you
will
struggle
and
fail
many
times
before
you
finally
reach
your
target.One
of
the
main
reasons
why
people
give
up
so
easily
in
the
face
of
failure
is
that
they
lose
sight
of
their
“why”．Goals
can
help
you
remember
your
“big
why”
when
you
need
to
pick
yourself
up
and
keep
going
in
the
face
of
difficult
situations.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇议论文。要想成功，我们要树立目标，并全身心地投入到这一件事情上，心中有目标，就不会轻言放弃。
5．What
can
we
learn
from
Earl
Nightingale's
and
Dr.Maxwell
Maltz's
words?
A．It's
important
to
succeed
in
life.
B．It's
extremely
easy
to
achieve
aims.
C．It's
greatly
significant
to
set
goals.
D．It's
common
to
make
accomplishments.
C [推理判断题。根据文章前两段的内容可知，Earl
Nightingale和DrMaxwell
Maltz所说的话都表明了设立目标的重要性，心中有目标才能成功。]
6．What's
important
in
achieving
success
according
to
Paragraph
3?
A．Setting
a
realistic
target.
B．Concentrating
on
your
aim.
C．Managing
your
time
properly.
D．Making
the
most
of
your
resources.
B [细节理解题。根据第三段中的“One
important
reason
goal
setters
achieve...a
few
hours
at
a
time.”可知，集中所有精力于你的目标上，就会有一个好的结果。]
7．What
can
we
conclude
from
the
last
paragraph?
A．Goals
can
prevent
us
giving
up
easily.
B．Goals
mean
achieving
more
than
others.
C．Goals
get
rid
of
doubts
about
what
we
do.
D．Goals
lead
to
more
difficulties
or
failures.
A [推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“One
of
the
main
reasons
why
people
give
up
so
easily
in
the
face
of
failure
is
that
they
lose
sight
of
their
‘why’．”可知，树立目标可以防止我们轻易放弃。]
8．What
is
the
best
title
for
the
text?
A．How
to
Set
Goals?
B．How
Can
We
Succeed?
C．Why
Should
We
Set
Goals?
D．Why
Should
We
Keep
Going?
C [标题归纳题。通读全文可知，文章论述了设立目标的重要性以及益处，告诉我们为什么要树立目标，故C项为最佳标题。]
Ⅲ.阅读七选五
If
you
are
already
making
the
time
to
exercise，it
is
good
indeed!
With
such
busy
lives，it
can
be
hard
to
try
and
find
the
time
to
work
out.
1
Working
out
in
the
morning
provides
additional
benefits
beyond
being
physically
fit.
·Your
productivity
is
improved.Exercising
makes
you
more
awake
and
ready
to
handle
whatever
is
ahead
of
you
for
the
day.
2
·Your
metabolism(新陈代谢)
gets
a
head
start.
3
If
you
work
out
in
the
mornings，then
you
will
be
getting
the
calorie
(卡路里)
burning
benefits
for
the
whole
day，not
in
your
sleep.
·
4
Studies
found
that
people
who
woke
up
early
for
exercise
slept
better
than
those
who
exercised
in
the
evening.
Exercise
energizes
you,
so
it
is
more
difficult
to
relax
and
have
a
peaceful
sleep
when
you
are
very
excited.
·
5
If
you
work
out
bright
and
early
in
the
morning，you
will
be
more
likely
to
stick
to
healthy
food
choices
throughout
the
day.
Who
would
want
to
ruin
their
good
workout
by
eating
junk
food?
You
will
want
to
continue
to
focus
on
positive
choices.
There
are
a
lot
of
benefits
to
working
out，especially
in
the
mornings.Set
your
alarm
clock
an
hour
early
and
push
yourself
to
work
out!
You
will
feel
energized
all
day
long.
A．You
will
stick
to
your
diet.
B．Your
quality
of
sleep
improves.
C．You
prefer
healthy
food
to
fast
food.
D．There
is
no
reason
you
should
exercise
in
the
morning.
E．You
can
keep
your
head
clear
for
4－10
hours
after
exercise.
F．After
you
exercise，you
continue
to
burn
calories
throughout
the
day.
G．If
you
are
planning
to
do
exercise
regularly，or
you're
doing
it
now，then
listen
up!
【语篇解读】 本文从工作效率、新陈代谢、睡眠质量和饮食习惯四个方面介绍了晨练给人们带来的好处。
1．G [空后一句及接下来的段落是在讲晨练的好处，所以G项“如果你计划定期锻炼，或者你现在正在锻炼，那就注意听”符合语境。]
2．E [根据空处前两句(你的工作效率提高了；锻炼会让你更清醒，并准备好应付一天中摆在你面前的一切)可知，此空应选E“运动后你可以保持头脑清醒4—10个小时”。more
awake与E项中的clear照应。]
3．F [由此空后的“getting...the
whole
day”与F项中的“burn
calories
throughout
the
day”一致，故答案为F“在你运动之后，你一整天都在消耗卡路里”。]
4．B [此空是本段的中心句，根据本段内容可知，本段主要讲了晨练对睡眠的益处，所以选B“你的睡眠质量提高了”。空后一句中的“slept
better”是关键信息。]
5．A [根据本段中的“healthy
food”和“junk
food”与选项A中的diet有关可知，此空应选A“你会坚持你的饮食(习惯)”。]

Ⅰ.阅读理解(共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分)
A
If
women
are
mercilessly
exploited
year
after
year，they
have
only
themselves
to
blame.Because
they
tremble
at
the
thought
of
being
seen
in
public
in
clothes
that
are
out
of
fashion，they
are
always
taken
advantage
of
by
the
designers
and
the
big
stores.Clothes
which
have
been
worn
only
a
few
times
have
to
be
put
aside
because
of
the
change
of
fashion.When
you
come
to
think
of
it，only
a
woman
is
capable
of
standing
in
front
of
a
wardrobe
packed
full
of
clothes
and
announcing
sadly
that
she
has
nothing
to
wear.
Changing
fashions
are
nothing
more
than
the
intentional
creation
of
waste.Many
women
spend
vast
sums
of
money
each
year
to
replace
clothes
that
have
hardly
been
worn.Women
who
can
not
afford
to
throw
away
clothing
in
this
way
waste
hours
of
their
time
altering(改变)the
dresses
they
have.Skirts
are
lengthened
or
shortened；necklines
are
lowered
or
raised，and
so
on.
No
one
can
claim
that
the
fashion
industry
contributes
anything
really
important
to
society.Fashion
designers
are
rarely
concerned
with
vital
things
like
warmth，comfort
and
durability.They
are
only
interested
in
outward
appearance
and
they
take
advantage
of
the
fact
that
women
will
put
up
with
any
amount
of
discomfort，as
long
as
they
look
right.There
can
hardly
be
a
man
who
hasn't
at
some
time
in
his
life
smiled
at
the
sight
of
a
woman
shaking
in
a
thin
dress
on
a
winter
day，or
delicately
picking
her
way
through
deep
snow
in
high?heeled
shoes.
When
comparing
men
and
women
in
the
matter
of
fashion，the
conclusions
to
be
drawn
are
obvious.Do
the
constantly
changing
fashions
of
women's
clothes，one
wonder，reflect
basic
qualities
of
inconstancy
and
instability？Men
are
too
clever
to
let
themselves
be
cheated
by
fashion
designers.Do
their
unchanging
styles
of
dress
reflect
basic
qualities
of
stability
and
reliability？That
is
for
you
to
decide.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。女人爱美的天性被商人充分利用，他们不断推出各种新款服装，赚足了女士们的钱，而女士们为了美丽心甘情愿地被他们剥削。男士在服饰方面则显得比女士更理性。
1．Designers
and
big
stores
always
make
money
．
A．by
constantly
changing
the
fashions
in
women's
clothing
B．by
mercilessly
exploiting
women
workers
in
the
clothing
industry
C．because
they
are
able
to
predict
new
fashions
for
the
coming
season
D．because
they
attach
great
importance
to
the
quality
of
women's
clothing
A [推理判断题。第一段提到“因为她们一想到自己穿着过时的衣服出现在公众面前就不寒而栗，所以总是被服装设计师和大商场利用”，由此判断，这些人利用她们追求衣着时尚的特点来赚钱，故选A。]
2．To
the
writer，that
women
altering
their
old
fashioned
dresses
is
seen
as
．
A．a
waste
of
money
B．an
expression
of
taste
C．a
waste
of
time
D．an
expression
of
creativity
C [细节理解题。第二段说，女士们如果没钱置办新衣，她们就浪费几个小时的时间来修改她们现有的服装以追求时尚。由此判断选C，作者觉得这样做是浪费时间。]
3．According
to
the
passage，which
of
the
following
statements
is
true?
A．The
fashion
industry
makes
an
important
contribution
to
society.
B．The
constant
changes
in
women's
clothing
reflect
their
strength
of
characters.
C．Fashion
designs
should
not
be
encouraged
since
they
are
only
welcomed
by
women.
D．New
fashions
in
clothing
are
created
for
the
commercial
exploitation
of
women.
D [推理判断题。从第三段第一句可知A项错误；第三段说，女士们为了美愿意忍受任何的不舒适，而没有提到反映了她们“性格的力量”，故B项错误；文章没有提到C项内容。从全文内容可知，作者觉得服装设计师推出各种新款服装的目的是赚钱，是“一年又一年无情地盘剥女士们”，由此判断选D。]
4．By
saying
“the
conclusions
to
be
drawn
are
obvious”，the
writer
means
that
．
A．women
are
better
able
to
put
up
with
discomfort
B．men
are
more
reasonable
in
the
matter
of
fashion
C．men
are
also
exploited
greatly
by
fashion
designers
D．women's
inconstancy
in
their
choice
of
clothing
is
often
laughed
at
B [推理判断题。最后一段说，比较男人和女人对时装的态度就能得出一个明显的结论，男人很聪明，不会被时装设计师欺骗。从这些叙述可知应选B，男士在选择服饰方面比女士更理性。]
B
Some
people
say
that
the
best
way
to
reduce
the
size
of
your
waist
is
to
do
stomach
exercise.Many
people
believe
that
when
specific
muscles
are
exercised，the
fatty
tissues(组织)in
the
immediate
area
are
burned
up.The
truth
is
that
exercise
burns
fat
from
all
over
the
body
and
not
from
one
specific
area.Of
course，if
you
reduce
the
fat
throughout
your
body，you
will
certainly
see
results
around
your
waist，too.
Some
people
believe
that
you
need
to
exercise
twice
a
week
in
order
to
keep
a
sufficient
level
of
physical
fitness.However，studies
directed
by
American
scientists
show
that
unexercised
muscles
lose
their
strength
very
quickly.Within
48
to
72
hours，you
must
use
the
muscles
again
to
reestablish(重建)the
good
physical
effects.And
what
does
that
mean
to
you？American
scientists
concluded
that
while
daily
exercise
is
most
helpful，exercising
every
other
day
or
three
days
a
week
will
keep
a
sufficient
level
of
physical
fitness.
Is
it
true
that
you
burn
more
calories
running
one
mile
than
walking
the
same
distance？The
answer
is
no.The
truth
is
that
you
use
the
same
amount
of
energy
whether
you
walk
or
run
the
mile，since
in
both
cases
you
are
moving
the
same
weight
the
same
distance.The
speed
does
not
matter.Of
course，if
you
run
rather
than
walk
for
30
minutes，you
will
cover
more
distance，and
therefore，burn
more
calories.
If
your
breathing
doesn't
return
to
normal
within
5
minutes
after
you
finish
exercising，you
have
exercised
too
much.Five
minutes
or
so
after
exercising，your
breathing
should
be
normal，your
heart
shouldn't
be
beating
loudly，and
you
shouldn't
be
tired.

5．If
you
want
to
reduce
the
fat
around
your
waist，you
should
．
A．do
stomach
exercise
B．exercise
the
waist
C．exercise
all
the
muscles
of
your
body
D．run
fast
for
30
minutes
C [细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The
truth
is
that
exercise
burns
fat
from
all
over
the
body
and
not
from
one
specific
area.”可知，运动不会只燃烧某一部分的脂肪，而是全身的脂肪，故要锻炼身体的所有肌肉。]
6．From
the
second
paragraph，we
learn
that
．
A．we
only
need
to
exercise
twice
a
week
B．we
should
exercise
three
times
a
week
C．muscles
lose
their
strength
after
48
hours
D．we
should
exercise
every
other
day，or
three
days
a
week
D [推理判断题。根据第二段可知，每48到72小时之间必须活动才能保证充足的体力，所以专家得出结论：每天都练习是最有帮助的，每隔一天或每周三天锻炼才是保持身体健康的基本要求。故D项正确。]
7．If
you
have
exercised
too
much，
．
A．your
breathing
will
take
longer
than
5
minutes
to
return
to
normal
after
you
finish
exercising
B．your
breathing
will
return
to
normal
within
5
minutes
after
finishing
exercising
C．your
heart
will
not
be
beating
loudly
D．you
will
be
too
tired
to
move
A [细节理解题。根据最后一段的第一句话可知，如果锻炼过头的话，呼吸在五分钟内很难能恢复正常，也就是说要超过五分钟。]
8．This
passage
tells
us
that
．
A．it
is
better
to
do
more
running
than
walking
B．the
more
exercise
you
do，the
healthier
you
will
be
C．the
unexercised
muscles
must
be
used
again
within
48
to
72
hours
D．in
order
to
lose
weight，you
have
to
run
fast
C [推理判断题。倒数第二段提到散步和跑步，只要距离长度是一样的，消耗的热量一样，起到的作用是一样的，故可排除A、D项，B项文中未涉及。根据第二段中的
“...studies
directed
by
American
scientists
show
that
unexercised
muscles
lose
their
strength
very
quickly.Within
48
to
72
hours，you
must
use
the
muscles
again
to
reestablish
(重建)
the
good
physical
effects.”可知C项正确。]
C
America's
greatest
technological
achievement，the
Hoover
Dam，now
has
a
companion
piece，a
bridge
held
up
by
the
longest
arch
in
the
Western
Hemisphere(半球)．The
Mike
O'Callaghan?Pat
Tillman
Memorial
Bridge，which
opened
this
month
and
connects
the
U．S.states
of
Arizona
and
Nevada，crosses
the
vast
chasm(峡谷)890
feet
above
the
Colorado
River
that
is
controlled
by
the
dam.
The
striking
1，900?foot?long
structure
will
improve
traffic
in
the
region
and
help
protect
the
dam
from
being
destroyed.It
is
the
seventh
highest
bridge
in
the
world，behind
four
in
China，one
in
Papua
New
Guinea
and
one
in
the
US
state
of
Colorado.
“The
Hoover
Dam
is
the
greatest
civil
engineering
achievement
in
America's
history，”
said
the
bridge
project
manager
Dave
Zanatell.“Our
goal
was
not
to
outdo
or
outshine
it.Our
goal
was
to，in
a
respectful
way，do
something
that
would
be
great
for
our
generation
and
that
would
stand
besides
the
Hoover
Dam
in
a
respectful
and
quality
way
that
would
become
a
part
of
Hoover's
legacy(遗产)．”
Just
as
the
Hoover
Dam
was
built
in
the
heart
of
the
Great
Depression(大萧条)and
was
seen
as
an
example
of
the
nation's
can?do
spirit，some
hope
this
project
can
also
provide
some
uplift．
The
bridge
is
surprising：at
1，050
feet，its
support
arch
holds
up
a
roadway
that
lies
on
300?foot?long
concrete
pillars(柱子)，some
of
the
tallest
in
the
world.It
contains
16
million
pounds
of
steel.
The
idea
of
the
bridge
came
into
being
in
the
1960s
because
the
top
of
the
Hoover
Dam
has
been
a
narrow
two?lane
road
that
is
the
fastest
route
from
Arizona
to
Las
Vegas
and
then
the
Pacific
Northwest
and
Canada.
Access
to
the
dam
from
each
direction
is
a
dangerously
winding
route，but
massive
trucks
and
passenger
vehicles
shared
it
for
decades.During
the
day，when
thousands
of
tourists
travel
to
the
dam
from
Las
Vegas
three
times
as
many
accidents
as
on
a
normal
road
will
happen.
The
bridge
has
a
sidewalk
on
the
side
facing
the
dam.The
wall
on
both
sides
is
54
inches
high，so
walkers
can
take
photos
there.

One
reaction
to
all
the
concern
about
tropical
deforestation(砍伐森林)
is
a
blank(茫然的)stare
that
asks
the
question，“Since
I
don't
live
there，what
does
it
have
to
do
with
me?
”
The
answer
is
that
your
way
of
life，wherever
you
live
in
the
world，is
tied
to
the
tropics
in
many
ways.If
you
live
in
a
house，wash
your
hair，eat
fruits
and
vegetables，drink
soda，or
drive
a
car，you
can
be
certain
that
you
are
affected
by
the
loss
of
tropical
forests.
Biologically，we
are
losing
the
richest
regions
on
earth
when，each
minute，a
piece
of
tropical
forest，the
size
of
ten
city
blocks，disappears.As
many
as
five
million
species
of
plants，animals，and
insects(40
to
50
percent
of
all
living
things)live
there，and
are
being
lost
faster
than
they
can
be
found
and
described.Their
loss
is
immeasurable.
Take
rubber
for
example.For
many
uses，only
natural
rubber
from
trees
will
do.Synthetics(合成材料)are
not
good
enough.Today
over
half
the
world's
commercial
rubber
is
produced
in
Malaysia
and
Indonesia，while
the
Amazon's
rubber
industry
produces
much
of
the
world's
four
million
tons.And
rubber
is
an
important
material
in
making
gloves，balloons，footwear
and
many
sporting
goods.Thousands
of
other
tropical
plants
are
valuable
for
their
industrial
use.
Many
scientists
strongly
believe
that
deforestation
contributes
to
the
greenhouse
effect—or
heating
of
the
earth
from
increased
carbon
dioxide
in
the
atmosphere.As
we
destroy
forests，we
lose
their
ability
to
change
carbon
dioxide
into
oxygen.
Carbon
dioxide
levels
could
double
within
the
next
half?century，warming
the
earth
by
as
much
as
4.5
degrees.The
result?
A
partial
melt?down
of
polar
ice
caps，raising
sea
levels
as
much
as
24
feet；even
15
feet
could
threaten
anyone
living
within
35
miles
of
the
coast.Unbelievable？Maybe.But
scientists
warn
that
by
the
time
we
realize
the
severe
effects
of
tropical
deforestation，it
will
be
20
years
later.
Can
tropical
deforestation
affect
our
everyday
lives？Now，you
should
have
got
the
answer.

towards
the
tropical
deforestation
is
．
A．puzzling
B．cold

The
Taj
Mahal
Shah
Jahan
finished
building
the
Taj
Mahal
in
1648.He
was
a
rich
and
powerful
emperor，and
he
built
the
Taj
Mahal
as
a
memorial
for
his
wife.
16
The
word
“taj”
means
crown，and
“Mahal”
was
the
name
of
his
wife.Twenty
thousand
people
worked
for
18
years
to
complete
this
beautiful
domed(圆顶屋)building.A
thousand
elephants
carried
huge
stones
and
jewels
from
all
over
India
and
central
Asia
to
the
Taj.Shah
Jahan
wanted
this
memorial
to
be
a
burial
place
for
himself
and
his
wife.
The
Taj
Mahal
is
on
the
Yamuna
River
in
Agra
in
northern
India.
17
Its
picture
is
in
most
travel
books
and
brochures.It
is
open
daily
from
sunrise
to

about
fifteen
rupees(or
about

$0.33)，anyone
can
enter
this
peaceful
and
quiet
place.
As
you
enter，you
pass
through
beautiful，silent
gardens.From
the
gardens，you
cross
a
wide
courtyard.Suddenly，you
see
the
dome
of
the
main
building
through
a
tall，red
sandstone
gate.At
daybreak，the
Taj
Mahal's
white
walls
turn
rose.At
noon，they
blaze(发光)white.At
dusk，they
become
dark
grey.
18
After
you
pass
through
the
gate，you
step
onto
a
wide
stone
platform.You
look
over
another
garden
with
pools.Everything
is
arranged
carefully
in
fours.
19
The
garden
is
divided
into
four
parts.There
are
straight
rows
of
colorful
flowers
and
trees
in
each
of
the
parts.At
the
four
corners
of
the
Taj
Mahal，there
are
pointed
tall
towers.After
the
gardens，you
go
down
stone
steps
towards
the
main
building
with
the
tomb
and
the
graves
of
Shah
Jahan
and
his
wife.
After
hundreds
of
years，the
Taj
Mahal
remains
a
lovely
and
peaceful
place.

a

then
it
struck

could
have
had
tens

thousands，with
the
50

with
their

【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文。作者讲述了一个有关老鼠和青蛙的故事，说明了一个道理，即害人终害己。
36．unlucky [设空处前为不定冠词，后为名词，由此可推断设空处应为形容词作定语，根据语境可知这只老鼠运气不佳，故填unlucky。]
37．the [设空处后的名词frog是第二次被提到，表示特指，故填定冠词the。]
38．tying [介词(by)后需用动名词形式作宾语，故填tie的动名词形式tying。]
39．led [根据上下文以及“and
didn't
stop”可知，设空处应该用一般过去时，故填led。]
40．until [本句使用了“not...until...”句型，意为“直到……才……”。]
41．him [后来那只青蛙突然跳进水里，那只老鼠也随之被拉进水中。介词后需用代词的宾格形式，根据提示词he可知设空处填him。]
42．as [好像他做了一件伟大的事似的。as
if“好像”。]
43．fastened [主语与空格处之间为逻辑上的动宾关系，故填fastened。]
44．prisoner [根据设空处前的不定冠词可推知，设空处应为名词，故填prisoner。]
45．was
eaten [设空处讲的是过去的事情，故用一般过去时；he与eat之间为被动关系，故用被动语态。]

The
end
of
my
sophomore
year
was
approaching.Mom
called
me
at
the
dorm
one
evening
during
the
last
week
of
May.My
summer
break
would
be
spent
with
Grandma
and
Grandpa
on
their
farm.I
wasn't
quite
satisfied
with
the
arrangement
but
guessed
it
was
just
one
summer.Next
year
would
be
my
little
brother's
turn.
I
arrived
late
that
afternoon.Grandma
had
prepared
more
food
than
the
three
of
us
could
possibly
eat.However，the
next
morning，Grandpa
prepared
breakfast
for
the
two
of
us.He
told
me
Grandma
tired
herself
out
yesterday
and
was
going
to
rest
in
bed.I
made
up
my
mind
to
be
of
some
help，not
be
a
burden.
Weeks
passed.I
gradually
got
accustomed
to
the
life
there.In
the
evenings
I
usually
read
or
talked
with
Grandma.She
never
grew
tired
of
hearing
about
college
or
anything
I
was
involved
in.She
told
me
stories
about
her
childhood，family
and
the
early
years
after
she
and
Grandpa
had
married.
The
last
Saturday
in
June，Grandpa
suggested
going
fishing.We
hadn't
expected
what
we
saw
when
we
got
to
the
pond
that
morning：One
of
the
swans
was
dead.Grandpa
had
given
the
pair
of
swans
to
Grandma
on
their
50th
anniversary.“We
can
think
of
buying
another
one，”
I
suggested.Grandpa
thought
for
a
few
moments
before
answering.
He
finally
said，“No，it's
not
that
easy.You
see，swans
mate
for
life.There's
nothing
we
can
do
for
the
one
that's
left.He
has
to
work
it
out
for
himself.”
A
few
days
later，we
found
the
other
swan
lying
near
the
same
spot
where
we
had
found
the
first
one.It，too，was
dead.

Paragraph
1：
On
July
12，Grandma
passed
away，who
had
died
suddenly
that
morning
of
a
stroke.“Perhaps
she
had
tired
herself
out
and
needed
a
permanent
sleep，”
Grandpa
said.After
her
funeral，Grandpa
said
that
he
had
made
up
his
mind
to
live
there
himself
and
that
we
should
get
back
to
our
own
lives.Grandpa
was
not
a
man
who
could
outwardly
express
his
grief
around
others，and
we
all
worried
about
him.When
we
said
goodbye，I
found
there
was
something
different
about
Grandpa
but
couldn't
quite
make
it
out.
Paragraph
2：
Life
at
college
was
busy
but
the
days
spent
with
Grandma
and
Grandpa
often
appeared
in
my
mind.How
I
wish
to
go
fishing
again
with
Grandpa!
But
Mom
called
me
at
school
on
a
stormy
October
day
to
tell
me
Grandpa
had
died，which
made
me
in
deep
sorrow.Grandpa
also
died
of
a
stroke，the
same
as
Grandma.At
that
moment，I
suddenly
understood
what
he'd
clumsily
tried
to
explain
to
me
about
the
swans
on
that
morning
when
we
fished
together
by
the
pond.
