（A）
Some
kinds
of
mental
skills
naturally
decrease
as
people
get
older.Yet
research
seems
to
show
that
some
training
can
improve
such
skills.A
recently
published
study
also
appears
to
attest
that
the
good
effects
of
training
can
last
for
many
years
after
that
training
has
ended.
Researchers
at
Johns
Hopkins
University
in
Maryland
wanted
to
learn
how
long
memory
and
thinking
skills
would
last
in
older
people
who
were
trained
to
keep
them.The
people
were
part
of
the
ten-year
research
project.They
were
taught
methods
meant
to
improve
their
memory,thinking
and
ability
to
perform
everyday
tasks.
More
than
2,800
volunteered
for
the
study
called
ACTIVE—short
for
Advanced
Cognitive
Training
for
Independent
and
Vital
Elderly.Most
were
studied
when
they
were
more
than
70
years
old.
The
volunteers
took
one
of
several
short
training
classes
meant
to
help
them
keep
their
mental
abilities.One
class
trained
participants
in
skills
including
how
to
remember
word
lists.Another
group
was
trained
in
reasoning.A
third
group
received
help
with
speed-of-processing—speed
of
receiving
and
understanding
information.A
fourth
group—the
control
group
did
not
get
any
training.
Earlier
results
had
established
that
the
training
helped
the
participants
for
up
to
five
years.Now,leading
study
writer
George
Rebok
says,the
research
showed
most
of
the
training
remained
effective
a
full
ten
years
later.
Professor
Rebok
and
his
team
found
that
the
people
trained
in
reasoning
and
speed-of-processing
did
better
on
tests
than
the
control
group.
“We
are
wondering
whether
those
effects
which
endured
over
time
would
still
be
there
ten
years
following
the
training,and
in
fact,that’s
exactly
what
we
found.”
The
effect
on
memory,however,seemed
not
to
last
as
long.Still,the
old
people
in
any
of
the
three
classes
generally
reported
less
difficulty
in
performing
daily
activities
than
the
control
group.The
total
training
time
for
the
older
people
was
between
10
and
15
hours.
1.Which
statement
is
NOT
true
according
to
the
passage?
A.This
kind
of
training
can
only
have
effects
on
people
for
a
few
years.
B.Some
training
can
improve
some
kinds
of
mental
skills.
C.Most
of
the
people
who
were
studied
were
more
than
70
years
old.
D.The
first
group
were
trained
how
to
remember
word
lists.
2.How
would
the
old
in
the
second
group
perform
after
receiving
the
training?
A.Remember
more
words.
B.Understand
information
more
quickly.
C.Act
as
poorly
as
before.
D.Perform
daily
activities
better.
3.What
does
the
underlined
word
“attest”
in
the
first
paragraph
mean?
A.Affect.
B.Deny.
C.Prove.
D.Improve.
4.Which
of
the
following
can
be
the
best
title
for
the
passage?
A.Some

（B）
Minutes
after
the
last
movie
ended
yesterday
at
the
Plaza
Theater,employees
were
busy
sweeping
up
popcorns
and
gathering
coke
cups.It
was
a
scene
that
had
been
repeated
many
times
in
the
theater’s
75-year
history.This
time,however,the
cleanup
was
a
little
different.As
one
group
of
workers
carried
out
the
rubbish,another
group
began
removing
seats
and
other
theater
equipment
in
preparation
for
the
building’s
end.
The
film
classic
The
Last
Picture
Show
was
the
last
movie
shown
in
the
old
theater.Though
the
movie
is
30
years
old,most
of
the
250
seats
were
filled
with
teary-eyed
audience
wanting
to
say
good-bye
to
the
old
building.Theater
owner
Ed
Bradford
said
he
chose
the
movie
because
it
seemed
appropriate.The
movie
is
set
in
a
small
town
where
the
only
movie
theater
is
preparing
to
close
down.
Bradford
said
that
large
modern
theaters
in
the
city
made
it
impossible
for
the
Plaza
to
compete.He
added
that
the
theater’s
location(位置)
was
also
a
reason.“This
used
to
be
the
center
of
town,”
he
said.“Now
the
area
is
mostly
office
buildings
and
warehouses.”
Last
week
some
city
officials
suggested
the
city
might
be
interested
in
turning
the
old
theater
into
a
museum
and
public
meeting
place.However,these
plans
were
abandoned
because
of
financial
problems.Bradford
sold
the
building
and
land
to
a
local
development
firm,which
plans
to
build
a
shopping
complex
on
the
land
where
the
theater
is
located.
The
theater
audience
said
good-bye
as
Bradford
locked
the
doors
for
the
last
time.After
75
years
the
Plaza
Theater
had
shown
its
last
movie.The
theater
will
be
missed.
1.In
what
way
was
yesterday’s
cleanup
at
the
Plaza
special?
A.It
made
room
for
new
equipment.　　　　　　　　　　
B.It
signaled
the
closedown
of
the
theater.
C.It
was
done
with
the
help
of
the
audience.
D.It
marked
the
75th
anniversary
of
the
theater.
2.Why
was
The
Last
Picture
Show
put
on?
A.It
was
an
all-time
classic.
B.It
was
about
the
history
of
the
town.
C.The
audience
requested
it.
D.The
theater
owner
found
it
suitable.
3.What
will
probably
happen
to
the
building?
A.It
will
be
repaired.
B.It
will
be
turned
into
a
museum.
C.It
will
be
knocked
down.
D.It
will
be
sold
to
the
city
government.
4.What
can
we
infer
about
the
audience?
A.They
are
disappointed
with
Bradford.
B.They
are
sad
to
part
with
the
old
theater.
C.They
are
supportive
of
the
city
officials.
D.They
are
eager
to
have
a
shopping
center.

（A）
I
never
really
decided
to
move
to
New
York,
and
I
never
really
decided
to
stay,
but
I’ve
lived
here,
in
the
same
apartment,
for
sixteen
years,
which
is
longer
than
I’ve
lived
anywhere
else.
1．.
My
last
move
was
from
my
parents’
house
in
Westchester
County,
ten
months
after
I
graduated
from
college.
With
a
roommate
who
was
a
friend
of
a
college
friend,
I
got
a
two-bedroom
apartment
on
the
Upper
West
Side
which
rented
for
four
hundred
and
seventy-five
dollars
a
month;
half
that
amount
was
about
as
much
as
I
could
afford
on
my
take-home
pay,
which
was
a
little
less
than
two
hundred
dollars
a
week.
I
was
working
in
the
typing
pool
of
this
magazine,
at
a
time
when
career
advice
to
young
women
included
an
admonition
(告诫)
that
if
you
started
out
with
a
job
that
involved
typing
all
you
would
ever
do
was
type.
But
I
didn’t
believe
that.
I
dared
to
type.
Over
the
years,
things
between
me
and
my
apartment
worsened
to
the
point
where
we
barely
acknowledged
each
other’
s
existence.
I
kept
waiting
for
it
to
change
into
something
that
it
wasn’t,
and
it
kept
waiting
for
me
to
give
it
the
attention
it
deserved.2．.
For
most
young
people
who
come
to
New
York,
having
a
roommate
is
not
a
matter
of
choice.3．.
The
two
bedrooms
were
at
opposite
ends
of
the
apartment,
with
the
bathroom,
kitchen,
and
living
room
in
between.
4．.
My
room
was
almost
twice
as
big
as
the
other
bedroom-big
enough
to
fit
the
double
bed
I’d
bought
for
twenty
dollars
a
few
months
after
I
moved
in,
from
someone
who
was
leaving
the
building,
and
the
twin
bed
I’d
brought
from
home,
which
I
used
for
guests
until
I
stopped
having
guests.
There
was
plenty
of
space
left
over
for
my
desk,
my
stereo,
and
the
bookcase
that
had
been
next
to
my
bed
at
home
when
I
was
growing
up.
5．.
A．I
had
spent
hours
staring
at,
reabsorbing
the
contents
of
the
books
by
gazing
at
their
spines
(书脊).
B．By
the
time
this
year
rolled
around,
we
had
both
had
enough.
It
was
clear
that
one
of
us
had
to
go.
C．I
don’t
know
how
I
ended
up
with
the
better
room,
but
I’m
pretty
sure
we
didn’t
flip
a
coin.
D．In
that
time,
my
parents
and
my
three
brothers
have
moved
twenty-four
times.
E.I
was
lucky
in
that
my
apartment
was
well
laid
out
for
sharing.
F.During
my
first
few
years
in
the
apartment,
I
did
everything
the
way
my
mother
did.
G.Nobody
had
to
go
through
anybody
else’s
space.
（B）
A
recent
report
suggested
that
an
average
person
checks
his
or
her
cell
phone
150
times
a
day.
1．They
may
not
know
using
their
cell
phones
may
put
themselves
or
their
loved
ones
in
danger.2．At
least
200,000
car
accidents
were
caused
by
texting
messages.
3．A
survey
done
by
the
Pew
Institute
suggested
that
Americans
in
the
age
range
of
18
to
29
years
old
send
88
text
messages
a
day.
When
you’re
walking
home
from
work,
you
don’t
need
your
head-phones
making
loud
noises
in
your
ears.
There
is
a
much
greater
place
to
create
positive
emotions
that
will
make
us
happier
and
much
more
fulfilled.
Those
emotions
are
within
us,
and
by
blocking
these
feelings
with
all
of
our
latest
technologies,
we
may
be
harming
ourselves.4．
We
need
to
take
back
control
of
our
minds
and
stop
compulsively
checking
our
emails,
Facebook
updates,
and
text
messages.
I
think
we
can
live
a
happier
life
if
we
pay
more
attention
to
ourselves
and
the
people
we
are
speaking
with.
5．
Think
about
what
parents
are
doing
to
children’s
emotional
well-being
when
they
focus
on
their
cell
phones
rather
than
their
children.
If
you
are
playing
with
your
children
in
the
park,
be
totally
attentive
to
what
they
are
doing.
If
you
are
in
a
business
meeting
and
someone
is
speaking,
listen
to
everything
they
say.
A．Your
cell
phone
is
not
part
of
your
body.
B．Human
beings
are
glued
to
their
cell
phones.
C．Cell
phones
have
brought
great
convenience
to
us.
D．People
addicted
to
cell
phones
are
even
not
aware
of
their
safety.
E.
How
many
relationships
are
lost
because
of
a
lack
of
communication?
F.
Using
cell
phones
too
much
may
be
linked
to
depressions
and
anxiety.
G.
Statistics
show
28
percent
of
car
accidents
occur
from
people
using
cell
phones.

Last

a

1.A　根据第五段的“...the
research
showed
most
of
the
training
remained
effective
a
full
ten
years
later.”可知A项是错误的,故选A项。
2.D　根据最后一段中的“Still,the
old
people
in
any
of
the
three
classes...in
performing
daily
activities
than
the
control
group.”可知D项正确。
3.C
affect“影响”;deny“拒绝”;prove“证明”;improve“提高”。根据该画线单词前的“A
recently
published
study”可知是证明。故选C项。
4.B　通读全文尤其是第一段的“Some
kinds
of
mental
skills
naturally
decrease
as
people
get
older.Yet
research
seems
to
show
that
some
training
can
improve
such
skills.”以及第五段第二句话可知,通过训练可以提高老年人的脑力,而且效果可以持续多年,所以B项是最贴切的标题。故选B项。
（B）
1.C　根据第一段最后一句“Yet,I
was
determined
to
go
ahead.”可知,参加马拉松前一个月,作者脚踝受伤,两个星期不能跑,只剩下两周的训练时间,但作者依然决定要去参加赛跑。故选C项。
2.C　第二段作者提到七年级时的一次体育课上,老师认为作者不擅长运动,作者以此说明自己不具备体育天赋。故选C项。
3.A　根据倒数第二段中的“I
was
one
of
the
final
runners
to
finish.But
I
finished!”可知,作者最终跑完了马拉松比赛。故选A项。
4.B　这篇文章介绍了作者在第一次参加马拉松前的一个月,脚踝受伤,但他依然坚持参加比赛,最终跑完了全程。作者之所以能完成,靠的是坚强的意志。故选B项。
（A）
1．根据上文I
never
really
decided
to
move
to
New
York,
and
I
never
really
decided
to
stay,
but
I’ve
lived
here,
in
the
same
apartment,
for
sixteen
years,
which
is
longer
than
I’ve
lived
anywhere
else.
我从未真正决定搬去纽约，也从未真正决定留下来，但我在这里住了16年，在同一个公寓里，这比我在其他任何地方住的时间都长。根据作者在讲自己和家人搬家的经历,可推断下文也是与搬家有关。D选项In
that
time,
my
parents
and
my
three
brothers
have
moved
twenty-four
times.
在这段时间里，我父母和我的三个兄弟已经搬了24次家了，符合语境，故选D。
2．根据上文Over
the
years,
things
between
me
and
my
apartment
worsened
to
the
point
where
we
barely
acknowledged
each
other’s
existence.
这些年来，我和我的室友之间的关系恶化到了几乎不承认彼此存在的地步。
可知，作者和舍友的关系逐渐恶化，B选项By
the
time
this
year
rolled
around,
we
had
both
had
enough.
It
was
clear
that
one
of
us
had
to
go.
到了今年，我们都受够了。很明显，我们中的一个必须离开。符合语境，故选B。
3．根据下一句The
two
bedrooms
were
at
opposite
ends
of
the
apartment,
with
the
bathroom,
kitchen,
and
living
room
in
between.
两间卧室在公寓的两端，中间是浴室、厨房和客厅。可以看出，作者开始讲述自己房间里的具体的陈设，所以E选项I
was
lucky
in
that
my
apartment
was
well
laid
out
for
sharing.
我很幸运，因为我的公寓布置得很好，可以共享，可以起到概括下文的作用。故选E。
4．根据前面描述的内容可以得知大的空间就自然没有互相之间的干扰了。G选项Nobody
had
to
go
through
anybody
else’s
space.
没有人必须穿过别人的空间。符合语境，话题一致。故选G
5．根据上文.
There
was
plenty
of
space
left
over
for
my
desk,
my
stereo,
and
the
bookcase
that
had
been
next
to
my
bed
at
home
when
I
was
growing
up.有足够的空间放我的书桌，我的立体声音响，还有我小时候在家床边的书架。根据作者讲到了他的书橱，意思是作者回忆起了自己小时候沉浸在书的海洋里的时光。A选项I
had
spent
hours
staring
at,
reabsorbing
the
contents
of
the
books
by
gazing
at
their
spines，我花了好几个小时盯着看，通过盯着书脊重新吸收了书中的内容。故选A。
（B）
1．根据后文中They
may
not
know
using
their
cell
phones
may
put
themselves
or
their
loved
ones
in
danger可知，使用手机可能会使得自己或者爱的人处于危险中。这里可以总结两个关键词，也就是cell
phones和danger。D选项中的关键词cell
phones和safety符合语境，故选D。
2．根据前文They
may
not
know
using
their
cell
phones
may
put
