His wife, Penny Merritt said her husband’s doctor suggested he get more exercise after he had some heart trouble about 12 years ago. When their son, Kevin brought a bike to his parents’ house, AI started to pedal around the local road and hills. At first, his rides were about five miles long, then 10 to 12 miles, and gradually the length of his outings grew due to all the social stops — from an hour to two hours. Since 2010, Merritt has been on a personal pursuit to cycle the circumference (周长) of the earth — 24,901 miles without even leaving his own neighbourhood. As a result, over the years, he got to know many of his neighbours and send them message of love and kindness. Judy Keene, one of his neighbours, has been waving to Merritt on his daily rides for the past five years. “He is so reliable, like clockwork. Every day I see him flying by on his bike. He is totally cheerful and takes time with everybody,” Keene said. “He inspires so many people and shows everyone how you can be in your 80s and still have a good time.” It was not until October 24 that the old man finally realized his daily bicycle trips were as important to them as they were to him. At 3 p.m. that Sunday afternoon, nearly 200 people gathered near his home to surprise and congratulate him on the completion of his “round-the-world” adventure. As he pedaled down the hill towards his house, a roar erupted from the crowd waving international flags, hand-painted signs and Earth-shaped balloons. The outpouring of love stunned and overwhelmed Merritt. “It’s just unbelievable. I couldn’t have imagined anything like this ever happening” he said. Although Merritt has now accomplished his cycling goal, he has no plans to change the routine that has become the highlight of his daily life. 4. Why did old AI Merritt start to cycle? A. He has always been an athletic person. B. His son Kevin brought him a new bike. C. He wanted to send love and kindness to others. D. He was advised to work out for the sake of his health. 5. The underlined phrase “social stops” in the second paragraph probably means ________. A. Merritt stopped to help those in need B. Merritt tried to help build stops for social use C. Merritt had interactions with his neighbours D. Merritt was stopped for some social reasons 6. What can we learn about AI Merritt in the text? A. His trips mattered more to his neighbours than to him. B. He was warmly congratulated on his completion of the plan. C. He will keep on cycling on a different route as he has planned. D. He accomplished his goal of cycling 24,901 miles around the earth. 7. Which of the following can best describe AI Merritt? A. Diligent and determined. B. Optimistic and selfless. C. Ambitious and romantic. D. Kind and inspirational. 【答案】4. D 5. C 6. B 7. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了83岁的阿尔·梅里特在他的社区里一直是一个可靠而愉快的存在。在不离开自己的社区的情况下，他完成了“环球”骑行——24901英里。这一壮举鼓舞了社区所有的人。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“His wife, Penny Merritt said her husband’s doctor suggested he get more exercise after he had some heart trouble about 12 years ago.”（他的妻子Penny Merritt说，他的医生建议他在大约12年前有些心脏问题后多做运动。）可知，AI Merritt开始骑行是因为他的医生建议他为了健康多做运动。故选D。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第二段“At first, his rides were about five miles long, then 10 to 12 miles, and gradually the length of his outings grew due to all the social stops — from an hour to two hours.”（起初，他的骑行时间大约是5英里，然后是10到12英里，由于所有的social stops，他的骑行时间逐渐从一个小时增加到两个小时。）以及第三段“As a result, over the years, he got to know many of his neighbours and send them message of love and kindness.”（因此，多年来，他认识了许多邻居，并向他们传递了爱和善良的信息。）可推知，“social stops”可能指的是他与邻居的互动，导致了他的骑行时间逐渐从一个小时增加到两个小时。故选C。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“At 3 p.m. that Sunday afternoon, nearly 200 people gathered near his home to surprise and congratulate him on the completion of his “round-the-world” adventure.”（那个星期天下午3点，近200人聚集在他家附近，为他完成“环球”冒险而惊喜和祝贺。）可知，他的邻居们热烈地祝贺他完成了他的计划。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“As a result, over the years, he got to know many of his neighbours and send them message of love and kindness.”（因此，多年来，他认识了许多邻居，并向他们传递了爱和善良的信息。）以及根据第四段“He inspires so many people and shows everyone how you can be in your 80s and still have a good time.”（他激励了很多人，向所有人展示了你可以在80多岁的时候仍然过得很开心。”）可推知，AI Merritt是一个善良且鼓舞人心的人。故选D。 C Adults perform better when they have a lot to gain or lose. But scientists did not know whether teens did too. To find out, Insel asked 88 people between the ages of 13 and 20. She had them try a game. The participants looked at pictures of planets on a computer screen. They had to click as fast as they could when they saw a planet with designs. They were not supposed to click if a planet had no designs. The participants could earn 20 cents for right answers but lose 10 cents for wrong ones. In other sessions, they’d get a dollar for right answers, and lose a half dollar for wrong ones. Players of all ages wanted to win the money, and cared more about bigger rewards than smaller ones. As Insel expected, adults performed better when the stakes were high. But teens 13 to 18 played just as well whether they stood to win 20 cents or a dollar. Only 19- or 20-year olds stepped up their game for the higher stakes. Insel’s team published this work November 28, 2017, in Nature Communications. Brains change and mature during adolescence. And not all parts grow at the same rate. Insel was interested in two areas in particular. One is deep inside the brain and just above the ears. Called the ventral striatum (腹侧纹状体), it helps the brain calculate rewards. The ventral striatum becomes mature during the teen years. The brain’s prefrontal cortex (前额叶) takes longer to mature. This area is important for planning and setting goals. It may not mature until early adulthood. Nerve pathways - think of them as the brain’s “wiring” - connect the ventral striatum and prefrontal cortex. This lets the two regions communicate to make decisions. But because the prefrontal cortex matures later, the wiring between the two may not be complete until adulthood. 8. Which of the following can explain Insel’s research? A. Teens ignore key points in many aspects. B. Adults behave better with higher rewards. C. Teens give more attention to exams than usual work. D. Adults behave more maturely than children in every way. 9. What does the underlined word “stakes” refer to? A. The final results of games or experiments. B. The things that can be gained or lost in races. C. The ambitions or energies that one experiences in games. D. The powers that make one feel less pressure or pain. 10. From the passage, we can know ___________. A. the experiment aims to find out adults’ behaviour facing high stakes B. teens have better performances in the first rounds C. adults care less about the experiment at first D. adults and teens show differently with high stakes 11. Which is the best title of the passage? A. Unlike adults, teens don’t perform better with high stakes B. Who perform better, adults or children? C. Stakes are the key points in promoting one’s passion D. Whether low stakes or high stakes, one behaves similarly 【答案】8. B 9. B 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要阐述了因为大脑中的前额叶发育不成熟，面对高和低风险或赌注，青少年表现相差无几，而成年人则面对高赌注，表现更好。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段最后一句Only 19- or 20-year olds stepped up their game for the higher stakes.（当提高筹码时，只有19岁或者20岁地孩子在游戏中表现更好）可推知，18岁的成年人在筹码增大时，表现更好。故选B。 【9题详解】 词义猜测题。根据上文可知，stakes在此处指实验中提到的earn 20 cents for right answers but lose 10 cents for wrong ones（正确答案赚20美分，错误答案损失10美分）和get a dollar for right answers, and lose a half dollar for wrong ones.（正确答案得到1美元，错误答案损失0.5美元。），由此可推知，指比赛中的风险或赌注。故选B。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段第二句和第三句But teens 13 to 18 played just as well whether they stood to win 20 cents or a dollar. Only 19- or 20-year olds stepped up their game for the higher stakes.可知，提高实验地筹码级别，成年人表现得更好，而13到18岁地孩子表现和原来无异。故选D。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。文章通过具体实验，阐述了因为大脑中的前额叶发育不成熟，面对高和低风险或赌注，青少年表现相差无几，而成年人则面对高赌注，表现更好。A项：与成年人不同，青少年在高风险情况下表现并不会更好。符合题意。故选A。 D Pride and Prejudice for the Modern Woman Let us imagine how Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen’s most famous work, might be updated, 200 years on. Austen’s popularity is rooted in her intelligence. But today she would certainly have had a very different life, as would her characters. Here’s my own suggestion. It is a truth finally and universally acknowledged that a single woman with brains deserves to have equal opportunities to men, however disadvantaged she may feel by sexism. “My dear husband,” said his hopeful wife one day, “have you heard that the local store, standing empty for so long, is taken over by a bright young businesswoman?” Her dull and indifferent (漠不关心的) husband replied that he had not. “But it is, it is,” she replied excitedly. Mr Dull-Husband made no reply. “Don’t you want to know her plans?” she cried with some impatience. “Well clearly you think it matters to your silly little head... so I’d better listen.” “Well, my dear, the rumour (传言) is that she has already set up a string of successful businesses in northern England, though how a woman can know anything about that is beyond me. She will move in herself next month.” “What is her name?” “Bingley.” “Is she married or single?” “What a question! And none of your business. But her coming will be a fine thing for our five boys.” “How so? How can it possibly affect them?” “My dear love; those lazy boys need something to wake them up. There are bound to be jobs going.” “Is that her point in settling here? Surely as a woman she has simply taken a fancy to the place.” “Nonsense, my love, how little you’ve noticed the world has changed. She’s got a first-rate degree and some sort of business qualification, I’m told. She surely needs one of our boys! Perhaps you might give her a call.” “Me? No. Perhaps you can take an interest. You still have your looks, after all. She may even offer you a job.” “Oh, that’s not likely. These new chances belong to the younger generation. But now you mention it, I think I’ll go along all the same.” And Mrs Bennet went along. That was 10 years ago. She is now managing director of a FTSE-listed company. ...It would remain the case, of course, that Mrs Bennet would be one of very few women on the company board, that her salary would be lower than her male colleagues, her bonus of a more “female” dimension and her lifespan (年限) among the city’s business leaders shorter than theirs. Still, she’d no doubt have enjoyed Davos — and might even have hobnobbed (攀谈) with influential figures. 12. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. Austen was born 200 years ago. B. Austen rewrote Pride and Prejudice. C. Austen’s success lies in her wisdom. D. Austen’s updated work gains popularity. 13. The underlined part in the passage suggests that Mrs Bennet ____. A. had mixed feelings of admiration and surprise about Bingley B. felt kind of worried and doubtful about Bingley C. was extremely anxious to meet Bingley D. had a great curiosity about Bingley 14. In the eyes of Mrs Bennet, Bingley surely needed one of their boys to ____. A. get married to B. work for her C. help her move in D. take over her store 15. What does the writer intend to tell us? A. Women with brains can also be as successful as men. B. Women have to pay a high price for success. C. A judgment must be made free from prejudice. D. Sex discrimination still exists nowadays. 【答案】12. C 13. A 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章巧妙套用世界名著《傲慢与偏见》章节，独辟蹊径夹叙夹议，深刻评述性别歧视依然存在的这一社会现实。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章的第二段的“Austen’s popularity is rooted in her intelligence(奥斯汀的受欢迎源于她的智慧。)”可知，奥斯丁的成功在于她的智慧。故选C项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。画线句的这句话的理解关键是对“beyond me”的理解，这个词组意思是“超出我的理解”，即我不能理解一个女性是怎么知道这些东西的，由此推知Mrs Bennet对Bingley的行为既敬佩又惊讶。故选A项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第十一段的“There are bound to be jobs going(肯定会有工作的)。”和倒数第四段的“She surely needs one of our boys!(她肯定需要我们家男孩子中的一个!)”可以推断出，Mrs Bennet认为Bingley会需要他们家的一个男孩为她工作。故选B项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文并结合文章最后一段中“It would remain the case, of course, Mrs Bennet would be one of very few women on the company board, that her salary would be lower than her male colleagues(当然，班纳特太太仍将是公司董事会中为数不多的女性之一，她的薪水将低于她的男同事)”可知，公司委员会的女性还是很少，Mrs Bennet的奖金还是比男性同事要少。可推知，作者想告诉我们性别歧视还是存在。选D项。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选 Soothe the Sunday scaries Most of us look forward to the weekend as a time to relax connect with friends and family, and deal with tasks from a to-do list that gets neglected during the workweek. But as the weekend comes to an end, many are missing out on Sunday Funday and instead experiencing an overwhelming sense of anxiety and even dread about the upcoming week. ___16___ Some people describe it as a heaviness they can feel in their body, while others feel so unsettled that they could jump out of their skin. Even though the Sunday scaries are common, they are manageable. Here’s how experts say you can ease your end-of-weekend anxiety. Structure your Sunday. ___17___ You might still go through that sense of dread, but that feeling is harder to hold on to when you’ re engaging in something that makes you feel good.

Try to figure out what’s really causing you to dread the week. ___18___ Even if there’s not a single reason behind your Sunday anxiety, organizing the stress into small parts can help make it all more manageable. ___19___ Getting rid of the Sunday scaries isn’t just about minimizing the gloom of the week ahead. Have something to look forward to. This gives you the opportunity to shift your thoughts to fun and will help improve your mood. End your Sunday with the right energy.

Is it a deadline, meeting or presentation? B. Create some excitement for the week ahead. C. Experts have referred to this worry as Sunday scaries. D. Sunday scaries come from tiredness after a really busy weekend. E. Then you feel empowered and confident that you’ll be ready for the next day. F. Instead of sitting on the couch and watching the clock, go to do something that you enjoy. G. Anxiety is a natural response that happens in preparation for anything that causes pain or discomfort. 【答案】16. C 17. F 18. A 19. B 20. E 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了几个缓解周末焦虑的方法。 【16题详解】 上文“But as the weekend comes to an end, many are missing out on Sunday Funday and instead experiencing an overwhelming sense of anxiety and even dread about the upcoming week.”（但随着周末的结束，许多人错过了周日的欢乐日，取而代之的是对即将到来的一周感到压倒性的焦虑甚至恐惧）陈述随着周末的结束，对即将到来的一周感到压倒性的焦虑。C项Experts have referred to this worry as Sunday scaries.（专家称这种担忧为“周日恐慌”）符合语境，是对上文现象的定义。故选C项。 【17题详解】 下文“You might still go through that sense of dread, but that feeling is harder to hold on to when you’ re engaging in something that makes you feel good.”（你可能仍然会经历那种恐惧感，但是当你从事让你感觉良好的事情时，这种感觉很难坚持下去）陈述做一些让你感到良好的事情。F项Instead of sitting on the couch and watching the clock, go to do something that you enjoy.（与其坐在沙发上看时间，不如去做一些你喜欢的事情）符合语境，与下文承接自然。故选F项。 【18题详解】 根据上文“Try to figure out what’s really causing you to dread the week.”（试着找出真正让你害怕这一周的原因）可推知，空格处内容为相关的原因。A项Is it a deadline, meeting or presentation?（是截止日期、会议还是报告？）符合此推断，上下文语意连贯。故选A项。 【19题详解】 由该题为段落小标题。该段下文“Getting rid of the Sunday scaries isn’t just about minimizing the gloom of the week ahead. Have something to look forward to.

B Every afternoon for the past 11 years, 83-year-old AI Merritt has been a reliable and cheery presence in his southeast Carlsbad neighbourhood, California. His wife, Penny Merritt said her husband’s doctor suggested he get more exercise after he had some heart trouble about 12 years ago. When their son, Kevin brought a bike to his parents’ house, AI started to pedal around the local road and hills. At first, his rides were about five miles long, then 10 to 12 miles, and gradually the length of his outings grew due to all the social stops — from an hour to two hours. Since 2010, Merritt has been on a personal pursuit to cycle the circumference (周长) of the earth — 24,901 miles without even leaving his own neighbourhood. As a result, over the years, he got to know many of his neighbours and send them message of love and kindness. Judy Keene, one of his neighbours, has been waving to Merritt on his daily rides for the past five years. “He is so reliable, like clockwork. Every day I see him flying by on his bike. He is totally cheerful and takes time with everybody,” Keene said. “He inspires so many people and shows everyone how you can be in your 80s and still have a good time.” It was not until October 24 that the old man finally realized his daily bicycle trips were as important to them as they were to him. At 3 p.m. that Sunday afternoon, nearly 200 people gathered near his home to surprise and congratulate him on the completion of his “round-the-world” adventure. As he pedaled down the hill towards his house, a roar erupted from the crowd waving international flags, hand-painted signs and Earth-shaped balloons. The outpouring of love stunned and overwhelmed Merritt. “It’s just unbelievable. I couldn’t have imagined anything like this ever happening,” he said. Although Merritt has now accomplished his cycling goal, he has no plans to change the routine that has become the highlight of his daily life. 4. Why did old AI Merritt start to cycle? A.

To find out, Insel asked 88 people between the ages of 13 and 20. She had them try a game. The participants looked at pictures of planets on a computer screen. They had to click as fast as they could when they saw a planet with designs. They were not supposed to click if a planet had no designs. The participants could earn 20 cents for right answers but lose 10 cents for wrong ones. In other sessions, they’d get a dollar for right answers, and lose a half dollar for wrong ones. Players of all ages wanted to win the money, and cared more about bigger rewards than smaller ones. As Insel expected, adults performed better when the stakes were high. But teens 13 to 18 played just as well whether they stood to win 20 cents or a dollar. Only 19- or 20-year olds stepped up their game for the higher stakes. Insel’s team published this work November 28, 2017, in Nature Communications. Brains change and mature during adolescence. And not all parts grow at the same rate. Insel was interested in two areas in particular. One is deep inside the brain and just above the ears. Called the ventral striatum (腹侧纹状体) it helps the brain calculate rewards. The ventral striatum becomes mature during the teen years. The brain’s prefrontal cortex (前额叶) takes longer to mature. This area is important for planning and setting goals. It may not mature until early adulthood. Nerve pathways - think of them as the brain’s “wiring” - connect the ventral striatum and prefrontal cortex. This lets the two regions communicate to make decisions. But because the prefrontal cortex matures later, the wiring between the two may not be complete until adulthood. 8. Which of the following can explain Insel’s research? A. Teens ignore key points in many aspects. B. Adults behave better with higher rewards. C Teens give more attention to exams than usual work. D. Adults behave more maturely than children in every way. 9. What does the underlined word “stakes” refer to? A. The final results of games or experiments. B. The things that can be gained or lost in races. C. The ambitions or energies that one experiences in games. D. The powers that make one feel less pressure or pain. 10. From the passage, we can know ___________. A. the experiment aims to find out adults’ behaviour facing high stakes B. teens have better performances in the first rounds C. adults care less about the experiment at first D. adults and teens show differently with high stakes 11. Which is the best title of the passage? A. Unlike adults, teens don’t perform better with high stakes B. Who perform better, adults or children? C. Stakes are the key points in promoting one’s passion D. Whether low stakes or high stakes, one behaves similarly D Pride and Prejudice for the Modern Woman Let us imagine how Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen’s most famous work, might be updated, 200 years on. Austen’s popularity is rooted in her intelligence. But today she would certainly have had a very different life, as would her characters. Here’s my own suggestion. It is a truth finally and universally acknowledged that a single woman with brains deserves to have equal opportunities to men, however disadvantaged she may feel by sexism. “My dear husband,” said his hopeful wife one day, “have you heard that the local store, standing empty for so long, is taken over by a bright young businesswoman?” Her dull and indifferent (漠不关心的) husband replied that he had not. “But it is, it is,” she replied excitedly. Mr Dull-Husband made no reply. “Don’t you want to know her plans?” she cried with some impatience. “Well, clearly you think it matters to your silly little head... so I’d better listen.” “Well, my dear, the rumour (传言) is that she has already set up a string of successful businesses in northern England, though how a woman can know anything about that is beyond me. She will move in herself next month.” “What is her name?” “Bingley.” “Is she married or single?” “What a question! And none of your business But her coming will be a fine thing for our five boys.” “How so? How can it possibly affect them?” “My dear love; those lazy boys need something to wake them up. There are bound to be jobs going.” “Is that her point in settling here? Surely as a woman she has simply taken a fancy to the place.” “Nonsense, my love, how little you’ve noticed the world has changed. She’s got a first-rate degree and some sort of business qualification, I’m told. She surely needs one of our boys! Perhaps you might give her a call.” “Me? No. Perhaps you can take an interest. You still have your looks, after all. She may even offer you a job.” “Oh, that’s not likely. These new chances belong to the younger generation. But now you mention it, I think I’ll go along all the same.” And Mrs Bennet went along. That was 10 years ago. She is now managing director of a FTSE-listed company. ...It would remain the case, of course, that Mrs Bennet would be one of very few women on the company board, that her salary would be lower than her male colleagues, her bonus of a more “female” dimension and her lifespan (年限) among the city’s business leaders shorter than theirs. Still, she’d no doubt have enjoyed Davos — and might even have hobnobbed (攀谈) with influential figures. 12. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. Austen was born 200 years ago. B. Austen rewrote Pride and Prejudice. C. Austen’s success lies in her wisdom. D. Austen’s updated work gains popularity. 13. The underlined part in the passage suggests that Mrs Bennet ____. A. had mixed feelings of admiration and surprise about Bingley B. felt kind of worried and doubtful about Bingley C. was extremely anxious to meet Bingley D. had a great curiosity about Bingley 14. In the eyes of Mrs Bennet, Bingley surely needed one of their boys to ____. A. get married to B. work for her C. help her move in D. take over her store 15. What does the writer intend to tell us? A. Women with brains can also be as successful as men. B. Women have to pay a high price for success. C. A judgment must be made free from prejudice. D. Sex discrimination still exists nowadays. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选 Soothe the Sunday scaries Most of us look forward to the weekend as a time to relax, connect with friends and family, and deal with tasks from a to-do list that gets neglected during the workweek.
