A unique course at Peking University is helping students get into shape in a big way. Titled “Physical Fitness Enhancement: Exercise and Nutrition,” the class is only open to students with a body mass index (身体质量指数) over 25 — meaning they are overweight or obese.
The 30-hour program combines theory on weight loss rules, healthy eating and exercise plans with practical training guided by specialized instructors. Activities include running, strength training and designing personalized weight loss programs.
“The goal is for students to develop a healthy lifestyle, such as mastering scientific weight loss methods, and forming regular exercise and balanced diet habits,” explained Zhang Xiaoyuan, the assistant professor teaching the course. Her research focuses on exercise, nutrition and health promotion, especially for overweight and obese populations.
The selective admission requirements attracted a lot of students and only some of them could get the class luckily. Those who made it have seen impressive results, with the highest weight loss being around 15 kilograms over the semester.
On the final day, students shared their achievements, with many reporting feeling lighter, improved moods and better sleep, taking up new athletic hobbies like rock climbing and finding workout friends.
1. Who is the class intended for?
A. Those who want to find workout friends. B. Those who want to get into shape.

My brother and I were driving home together and became absorbed in a conversation. Because of this, my brother took a wrong turn.
Unluckily, the wrong turn took us towards a bridge and we had no way to turn back. Unwillingly, my brother paid the bridge toll(费) and drove on. He was clearly annoyed about the mistake and the needless waste of $4.
We eventually reached an exit slip-way and, as we took it, my brother noticed a beat-up black Mustang pulled over to the side of the road. A young guy was standing nearby trying to phone someone. I was busy trying to figure out which way we went next but my brother pulled over and asked the guy if he needed any help. And he did. He had a flat tire and needed a wrench(扳手) to get it off.
My brother gave him a wrench, and then offered to help him change the flat. We started getting to know the young man from a rough neighborhood nearby. He said this has been a bad week for him; earlier he had gotten into a minor car accident, and now this flat on his way home from work. But he called us, “A breath of fresh air,” and kept thanking us because he really would have been stuck if we hadn't come along. After we had finished the job, he thanked us again and pulled out $20 and tried to give it to us. “No,” I said. “We were never supposed to even get on that bridge and took a wrong turn. But now we know why we did. Thank you for turning our mistake into an opportunity to serve.”
What I loved most was watching my brother throughout this process. He was able to turn his agitation for the mistake into positive energy and managed to see a chance to help even in an otherwise negative situation, which can only come from a calm mind and an open heart. That was the bridge we were meant to cross.
4. Why did the young guy call the author and the brother “A breath of fresh air”?
A. Because they rejected his money. B. Because they also got on that bridge.
C. Because they offered a chance to serve D. Because they turned up when he needed help
5. What does the underlined word “agitation” probably mean in the last paragraph?
A. Fright. B. Anxiety. C. Excitement. D. Embarrassment.

【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲了由于我和弟弟开车走错了路,在路上遇到了一位需要帮助的司机。弟弟非常主动的帮助解决了那位司机的困难。即使在其他负面的情况下也能看到帮助的机会,这只能来自冷静的头脑和开放的心。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。文章第四段讲到“My brother gave him a wrench, and then offered to help him change the flat. (我哥哥给了他一把扳手,然后主动提出帮他换轮胎)”可知,作者和弟弟帮助他换了轮胎,解决了当时的问题。这个年轻人叫作者和弟弟“一股新鲜空气”是因为他们在他需要帮助的时候出现了。故选D。
【5题详解】
词义猜测题。文章划线单词下文讲到“the mistake into positive energy and managed to see a chance to help even in an otherwise negative situation (错误转化为积极的能量,即使在其他负面的情况下也能看到帮助的机会)”可知,作者的弟弟能够把错误转化成积极的能量,并能在负面的情况下找到机会帮忙,因为错误可能会带来“烦恼和焦虑”,因此,最后一段中划线单词可能的意思是Anxiety“焦虑”。故选B。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。文章最后一段讲到“What I loved most was watching my brother throughout this process. He was able to turn his agitation for the mistake into positive energy and managed to see a chance to help even in an otherwise negative situation, which can only come from a calm mind and an open heart. That was the bridge we were meant to cross. (我最喜欢的是在整个过程中看着我的兄弟。他能够将自己对错误的激动转化为积极的能量,即使在其他负面的情况下也能看到帮助的机会,这只能来自冷静的头脑和开放的心。那是我们注定要走过的桥。)”可知,作者在这次经历中印象最深的是弟弟的积极态度和开放的心态。故选D。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。文章主要讲了由于我和弟弟开车走错了路,在路上遇到了一位需要帮助的司机。弟弟非常主动的帮助解决了那位司机的困难。弟弟即使在其他负面的情况下也能看到帮助的机会,这只能来自冷静的头脑和开放的心。最后一段讲到“which can only come from a calm mind and an open heart. That was the bridge we were meant to cross. (这只能来自冷静的头脑和开放的心。那是我们注定要走过的桥。)”可知,文章最佳标题是:我们注定要走过的桥。故选A。
C
Every day, Americans throw away 500 million plastic straws (吸管), enough to circle the Earth twice, or fill 125 school buses.
Made from fossil fuels, they are almost never recycled because they’re too small and could be made from several different types of plastic. They simply contribute to the big problem of plastic pollution; 8 million tons of plastic enters the oceans every year.
Plastic straws are now the target of a growing movement to reduce their use. One of such programs, Be Straw Free was started in 2011 by Milo Cress, who was only 9 years old at the time. “I noticed that whenever I ordered a drink at a restaurant, it would usually come with a straw in it, and I don’t usually need a straw,” he said.
“This seemed like a huge waste. Straws are made of oil, a precious resource. Is making single-use plastic straws, which will be used for a matter of minutes before being thrown away, really what we want to do with this resource?”
Cress began asking restaurants in Burlington, Vermont, where he lived then, to stop offering straws to customers and make them optional instead. Many agreed and his request made ripples nationwide. He says that restaurants that make the change report a reduction in the number of straws they use between 50 and 80%.
Some people use straws to reduce the damage of sugary or acidic drinks (酸性饮料) to their teeth, or due to special requirements. “There are disabled people who write me to tell me they carry reusable straws with them — many reusable straws even come with a carrying case (收纳盒),” said Cress. “There is reusable glass, bamboo, and several other kinds of reusable straws.”
“I am not out to stop using straws. I think it’s much more effective to encourage people to make the choice not to use them. Sometimes, forcing people to do things is not always the most effective way to make a change.” said Cress.
8. How do the first two paragraphs stress the problem of plastic straws?
A. By comparison. B. By offering a research result.
C. By giving examples. D. By listing figures.
9. What do we know about Be Straw Free?
A. It has a history of more than 10 years.
B. It was the first campaign to reduce plastic straw.
C. It has turned into a global non-profit organization.
D. It was established by Cress working in a restaurant.
10. How did Cress help to reduce plastic straws?
A. By encouraging disabled people to stop using straws.
B. By asking restaurants to provide reusable straws.
C. By letting customers choose straws personally.
D. By forbidding using plastic straws at restaurants.
11. Which of the following statements will Cress agree with?
A. Reusable straws are less expensive than plastic ones.
B. It’s not advisable to forbid plastic straws directly.
C. Plastic straws should be replaced completely.
D. It’s illegal to produce straws using oil.
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. C 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了美国每年有大量塑料吸管被丢弃,造成了严重的污染。一位9岁男孩米洛·克雷斯发起减少吸管使用的运动,倡导人们选择不使用吸管。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“Every day, Americans throw away 500 million plastic straws (吸管), enough to circle the Earth twice, or fill 125 school buses.(美国人每天扔掉5亿根塑料吸管,足够绕地球两圈,或者装满125辆校车)”和第二段中“They simply contribute to the big problem of plastic pollution; 8 million tons of plastic enters the oceans every year.(它们只会加剧塑料污染这个大问题;每年有800万吨塑料进入海洋)”可知,文章前两段通过列举数字来强调塑料吸管问题的严重性。故选D。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“One of such programs, Be Straw Free was started in 2011 by Milo Cress, who was only 9 years old at the time.(其中一个项目是由米洛·克雷斯于2011年发起的,当时他只有9岁)”可知,Be Straw Free项目始于2011年,因此,我们可以算出这个项目已经有超过10年的历史。故选A。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中“Cress began asking restaurants in Burlington, Vermont, where he lived then, to stop offering straws to customers and make them optional instead.(克雷斯开始要求他当时居住的佛蒙特州伯灵顿的餐馆停止向顾客提供吸管,改为可选吸管)”可知,Cress通过让顾客自己选择是否使用吸管来帮助减少塑料吸管的使用。故选C。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中Cress的话“I am not out to stop using straws. I think it’s much more effective to encourage people to make the choice not to use them. Sometimes, forcing people to do things is not always the most effective way to make a change.(我并不是要停止使用吸管。我认为鼓励人们选择不使用它们会更有效。有时候,强迫人们做一些事情并不总是最有效的改变方式)”可知,Cress认为鼓励人们选择不使用吸管比直接禁止更有效,有时强迫人们做事并不总是改变的最有效方式。由此推知,他会赞同“直接禁止塑料吸管是不明智的”这一说法。故选B。
D
Listening to favorite songs could reduce people’s pain, according to a new study published in the journal Frontiers in Pain Research.
The small study invited 63 young adults to bring two of their favorite songs and the only requirement was that they needed to be at least 3 minutes and 20 seconds long. One selection was their favorite music of all time, and the other was the song they would bring with them on a desert island. The researchers also had the young adults pick one of seven songs that the team considered relaxing and were unfamiliar to the study participants (参与者).
Each person joined a 7-minute experiment where they were guided to stare at a monitor screen while listening to their favorite music, one of the seven relaxing instrumental songs (each of which lasted for 6 minutes and 40 seconds), or a mixture of both songs and the relaxing song chosen. The mixed music was a noisy mixture of all three songs, cut into parts so that they lacked their original structure. One 7-minute experiment had people sitting in silence. All the while, the researchers stuck a hot object — similar to the pain of a boiling hot teacup on your skin — to the participants’ left inner forearms.
When rating their experiences, people were more likely to report feeling less pain when listening to their favorite songs compared with hearing the unfamiliar relaxing song or silence. The mixed songs did not reduce pain either, which the authors suggested was evidence of music being more than a distraction (分散注意力) from an unpleasant experience.
After interviewing the participants about the song they brought and their rating of pain, the researchers found people who listened to bittersweet and touching songs felt less pain than when they listened to songs with calming or cheerful themes.
12. What do we know about the music used in the experiment?
A. The mixed music was similar to the original in structure.
B. The seven songs chosen were strange to the participants.
C. The participants’ favorite songs had the same context.
D. All the music was played on the monitor screen.
13. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 3?
A. How long the participants listened to songs. B. How the experiment was carried out.
C. Why various songs were listened to. D. How different songs reduced pain.
14. Which music could reduce pain most according to the experiment?
A. Bittersweet and moving songs. B. A mixture of different songs.
C. Songs with calming themes. D. Unfamiliar relaxing songs.
15. What’s the purpose of the article?
A. To stress people’s preference for music. B. To recommend different kinds of songs.
C. To explain why music can cure discases. D. To introduce the effect of music on people’s feeling.
【答案】12. B 13. B 14. A 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文,文章主要介绍了一项研究,听喜欢的歌曲可以减轻人们的疼痛。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“The researchers also had the young adults pick one of seven songs that the team considered relaxing and were unfamiliar to the study participants(参与者).(研究人员还让年轻人从七首他们认为放松、不熟悉的歌曲中选择一首)”可知,实验中可供选择的七首歌曲都是参与者不熟悉的,故选B。
【13题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段内容 “Each person joined a 7-minute experiment where they were guided to stare at a monitor screen while listening to their favorite music(每个人都参加了一个7分钟的实验,在这个实验中,他们被引导着盯着显示器屏幕,同时听他们最喜欢的音乐)”以及“All the while, the researchers stuck a hot object — similar to the pain of a boiling hot teacup on your skin — to the participants’ left inner forearms.(在一项7分钟的实验中,人们安静地坐着。与此同时,研究人员将一个热的物体——类似于滚烫的茶杯在皮肤上的疼痛感——粘在参与者的左前臂内侧)”可知,本段主要介绍了是如何进行实验的,故选B。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“the researchers found people who listened to bittersweet and touching songs felt less pain than when they listened to songs with calming or cheerful themes.(研究人员发现,听苦乐参半和感人歌曲的人比听平静或欢快主题的歌曲的人感到的疼痛要少)”可知,苦乐参半和感人歌曲最能减轻痛苦,故选A。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据全文内容,结合第一段中“Listening to favorite songs could reduce people’s pain(听喜欢的歌曲可以减轻人们的疼痛)”和最后一段中“the researchers found people who listened to bittersweet and touching songs felt less pain than when they listened to songs with calming or cheerful themes.(研究人员发现,听苦乐参半和感人歌曲的人比听平静或欢快主题的歌曲的人感到的疼痛要少)”可知,文章主要介绍了一项研究,听喜欢的歌曲可以减轻人们的疼痛,目的是介绍音乐对人的感受的影响,故选D。

●Don't say yes when you mean no
A common etiquette mistake people make is not being honest and instead saying “yes” or “maybe” when what they really mean is “no”. Actually, it’s good manners to say “no” when you can’t do something. ___18___ However, they will understand finally. The trick is to learn how to say no or refuse an invitation without apologizing but in a way that is still polite and respectful.
●Walk with the flow
In most places, it's considered polite to keep to the right on sidewalks, stairs and trails, allowing people to pass you on the left. You should keep moving with the flow. ___19___ If you need to stop, step to the side, and don’t block building entrances.
●Be on time
Sometimes being late is just a bad case, but if you’re late often, it says that your time is more important than everyone else’s. ___20___ If something has come up, you should let people know. But if it’s an ongoing problem, you should make a real effort to learn to stop being late.
A. It is a good way to show your honesty.
B. Polite manners say you should try to be on time.
C. Texts are significant for people to communicate.
D. Texting has made communicating very informal.
E. Here are various recommendations that may help you.

【17题详解】
根据下文“Thus, it’s fine to ignore strict grammar rules when you send a text.(因此,在发短信时忽略严格的语法规则是可以的)”说明发短信没有那么正式,D项“发短信让交流变得非常不正式”符合语境,故选D。
【18题详解】
上文“Actually, it’s good manners to say ‘no’ when you can’t do something.(事实上,当你不能做某事时,说‘不’是一种礼貌)”提到拒绝别人,结合下文的转折“However, they will understand finally.(然而,他们最终会理解的)”可知,空处是说人们一开始不理解,F项“一开始人们可能会对你失望”符合语境,故选F。
【19题详解】
下文“If you need to stop, step to the side, and don’t block building entrances.(如果你需要停下来,请走到旁边,不要挡住建筑物的入口)”提到需要停下来时的正确做法,走到旁边停下来而不是挡住入口,G项“注意不要让一大群人挡住人行道”与下文语义一致,故选G。
【20题详解】
根据本段小标题“Be on time(准时)”可知,本段关于良好礼仪的建议是要守时,B项“礼貌要求你尽量准时”符合本段主题,故选B。

【答案】Dear Joe,
With the approaching of the English Arts Festival, I’m writing to ask a favor of you to come and provide on-site guidance during our rehearsal, which is scheduled in Room 322 at 7:00pm next Saturday evening.
All the students are currently devoted to the rehearsal of the dramas adapted from our textbook. Originating from Shakespeare’s famous plays, our dramas need to truly reflect their contents, but we don’t know much about Middle English which Shakespeare used in his works. That’s why we want you to give some guidance with your rich knowledge reserves and cultural background. As non-native speakers, we are in desperate need of the on-site guidance from someone like you, who has impressed us with profound knowledge and deep insight into the English literature. Therefore I sincerely invite you to guide us in person.
We really need your help. Please reply as soon as possible.
Yours Sincerely,
Li Hua

第二节(满分25分)
47. 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。
Wolf! Hank thought. The boy stared out of the cabin (小木屋) window at the animal. It was sitting a stone’s throw away in the moonlight. The wolf howling (嚎叫), Hank shook slightly. For the first time, he felt truly alone in the mountains.
It had felt good to be allowed to come along with Dad. Dad was a scientist who studied wild animals. Two days ago, they had moved into an empty cabin. Here, Dad would write a report about what he had found. But they discovered that dozens and dozens of mice had taken over the cabin. The little creatures had gotten into the supplies of dried food and ruined almost everything.
Now, because most of the food was gone, Dad had left to get new supplies from town and would be staying overnight. Hank had insisted on staying behind.
The wolf howl sounding again, Hank opened the logbook to write about it, but his hand shook. Dad had never mentioned having any trouble with wolves. Hank closed the logbook and put it on the table. Quickly he looked around for something he could use as a weapon just in case. He grabbed a stick from the fireplace, went to the door, and took a deep breath.
Then he opened the door, waved the stick, and shouted with all his might (强大力量): “Co away, wolf. Go away!” Shocked, the wolf sprang (跳跃) and started running away. Hank closed the door, his heart pounding hard. When he’d caught his breath, he turned back to the window. Oh, no! There was the wolf sitting right where it had sat before.
Hank stared at the wolf. The wolf stared right back at him. Hank was staring into the eyes of a hunter. He knew, like all creatures, the wolf needed to eat. Hank’s dad had said wolves play their part in the environment by eating deer, rabbits, and other animals. But maybe, like the hungry mice that were running about Hank’s feet, wolves go for any food they can find. Suddenly, Hank heard a squeaky (吱吱叫的) noise!
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1:
Holding his breath, Hank raised his head to see.

Paragraph 2:
As the wolf sprang up and tried to catch another mouse, Hank opened the logbook again.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1:
Holding his breath, Hank raised his head to see. He found the wolf, howling wildly, was chasing some mice in the moonlight. Letting out squeaky noises, the mice ran about on the grass aimlessly. Suddenly the hungry wolf sprang up, catching a mouse. Sitting a stone’s throw away, it ate the mouse it captured. Running about its feet were dozens of noisy mice. The wolf rose, ready to catch another mouse. Shocked, Hank turned back to the table for his logbook.
Paragraph 2:
As the wolf sprang up and tried to catch another mouse, Hank opened the logbook again. His heart pounded hard. Grabbing the pen, Hank quickly wrote what was happening outside the cabin. Another mouse caught, the wolf swallowed it whole. The hunting over, the wolf ran away with its stomach filled. Closing the logbook, Hank took a deep breath, feeling so good. It was the first time that he had stayed alone in the mountains to study wild animals. That night he stayed awake, eager to report what he discovered to his dad.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了Hank和身为研究野生动物的科学家的爸爸去山里一间小木屋研究动物,因老鼠啃食了食物爸爸去城里买新的食物,只留下Hank一人在木屋过夜,外面传来狼的嚎叫,Hank抓起一根木棍作为武器并大喊着想吓走狼,但狼依然坐在门外,Hank意识到狼在觅食,并突然听到了吱吱叫的声音。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“Hank屏住呼吸,抬起头去看。”可知,第一段可描写Hank目睹狼在门外抓捕老鼠的过程。

A unique course at Peking University is helping students get into shape in a big way. Titled “Physical Fitness Enhancement: Exercise and Nutrition,” the class is only open to students with a body mass index (身体质量指数) over 25 — meaning they are overweight or obese.
The 30-hour program combines theory on weight loss rules, healthy eating and exercise plans with practical training guided by specialized instructors. Activities include running, strength training and designing personalized weight loss programs.
“The goal is for students to develop a healthy lifestyle, such as mastering scientific weight loss methods, and forming regular exercise and balanced diet habits,” explained Zhang Xiaoyuan, the assistant professor teaching the course. Her research focuses on exercise, nutrition and health promotion, especially for overweight and obese populations.
The selective admission requirements attracted a lot of students and only some of them could get the class luckily. Those who made it have seen impressive results, with the highest weight loss being around 15 kilograms over the semester.
On the final day, students shared their achievements, with many reporting feeling lighter, improved moods and better sleep, taking up new athletic hobbies like rock climbing and finding workout friends.
1. Who is the class intended for?
A. Those who want to find workout friends. B. Those who want to get into shape.
C. Those who are too fat and heavy D. Those who like doing exercise.
2. What’s the aim of the course?

C. To help students find ways to lose weight. D. To reduce the number of overweight students.

My brother and I were driving home together and became absorbed in a conversation. Because of this, my brother took a wrong turn.
Unluckily, the wrong turn took us towards a bridge and we had no way to turn back. Unwillingly, my brother paid the bridge toll(费) and drove on. He was clearly annoyed about the mistake and the needless waste of $4.
We eventually reached an exit slip-way and, as we took it, my brother noticed a beat-up black Mustang pulled over to the side of the road. A young guy was standing nearby trying to phone someone. I was busy trying to figure out which way we went next but my brother pulled over and asked the guy if he needed any help. And he did. He had a flat tire and needed a wrench(扳手) to get it off.
My brother gave him a wrench and then offered to help him change the flat. We started getting to know the young man from a rough neighborhood nearby. He said this has been a bad week for him; earlier he had gotten into a minor car accident, and now this flat on his way home from work. But he called us, “A breath of fresh air,” and kept thanking us because he really would have been stuck if we hadn't come along. After we had finished the job, he thanked us again and pulled out $20 and tried to give it to us. “No,” I said. “We were never supposed to even get on that bridge and took a wrong turn. But now we know why we did. Thank you for turning our mistake into an opportunity to serve.”
What I loved most was watching my brother throughout this process. He was able to turn his agitation for the mistake into positive energy and managed to see a chance to help even in an otherwise negative situation, which can only come from a calm mind and an open heart. That was the bridge we were meant to cross.
4. Why did the young guy call the author and the brother “A breath of fresh air”?
A. Because they rejected his money. B. Because they also got on that bridge.
C. Because they offered a chance to serve D. Because they turned up when he needed help
5. What does the underlined word “agitation” probably mean in the last paragraph?
A. Fright. B. Anxiety. C. Excitement. D. Embarrassment.
6. What impressed the author most in the experience?
A. The brother's calmness and bravery. B. The cooperation in getting the flat tire off.
C. The young guy's generosity and politeness. D. The brother's positive attitude and open heart
7. Which is the best title for the text?
A. The Bridge We Were Meant To Cross B. A Terrible Experience We Experienced
C. My Brother Who Took A Wrong Turn D. A Young Guy We Were Grateful To
C
Every day, Americans throw away 500 million plastic straws (吸管), enough to circle the Earth twice, or fill 125 school buses.
Made from fossil fuels, they are almost never recycled because they’re too small and could be made from several different types of plastic. They simply contribute to the big problem of plastic pollution; 8 million tons of plastic enters the oceans every year.
Plastic straws are now the target of a growing movement to reduce their use. One of such programs, Be Straw Free was started in 2011 by Milo Cress, who was only 9 years old at the time. “I noticed that whenever I ordered a drink at a restaurant, it would usually come with a straw in it, and I don’t usually need a straw,” he said.
“This seemed like a huge waste. Straws are made of oil, a precious resource. Is making single-use plastic straws, which will be used for a matter of minutes before being thrown away, really what we want to do with this resource?”
Cress began asking restaurants in Burlington, Vermont, where he lived then, to stop offering straws to customers and make them optional instead. Many agreed and his request made ripples nationwide. He says that restaurants that make the change report a reduction in the number of straws they use between 50 and 80%.
Some people use straws to reduce the damage of sugary or acidic drinks (酸性饮料) to their teeth, or due to special requirements. “There are disabled people who write me to tell me they carry reusable straws with them — many reusable straws even come with a carrying case (收纳盒),” said Cress. “There is reusable glass, bamboo, and several other kinds of reusable straws.”
“I am not out to stop using straws. I think it’s much more effective to encourage people to make the choice not to use them. Sometimes, forcing people to do things is not always the most effective way to make a change.” said Cress.
8. How do the first two paragraphs stress the problem of plastic straws?
A By comparison. B. By offering a research result.
C. By giving examples. D. By listing figures.
9. What do we know about Be Straw Free?
A. It has a history of more than 10 years.
B. It was the first campaign to reduce plastic straw.
C. It has turned into a global non-profit organization.
D. It was established by Cress working in a restaurant.
10. How did Cress help to reduce plastic straws?
A. By encouraging disabled people to stop using straws.
B. By asking restaurants to provide reusable straws.
C By letting customers choose straws personally.
D. By forbidding using plastic straws at restaurants.
11. Which of the following statements will Cress agree with?
A. Reusable straws are less expensive than plastic ones.
B. It’s not advisable to forbid plastic straws directly.
C. Plastic straws should be replaced completely.
D. It’s illegal to produce straws using oil.
D
Listening to favorite songs could reduce people’s pain, according to a new study published in the journal Frontiers in Pain Research.
The small study invited 63 young adults to bring two of their favorite songs, and the only requirement was that they needed to be at least 3 minutes and 20 seconds long. One selection was their favorite music of all time, and the other was the song they would bring with them on a desert island. The researchers also had the young adults pick one of seven songs that the team considered relaxing and were unfamiliar to the study participants (参与者).
Each person joined a 7-minute experiment where they were guided to stare at a monitor screen while listening to their favorite music, one of the seven relaxing instrumental songs (each of which lasted for 6 minutes and 40 seconds), or a mixture of both songs and the relaxing song chosen. The mixed music was a noisy mixture of all three songs, cut into parts so that they lacked their original structure. One 7-minute experiment had people sitting in silence. All the while, the researchers stuck a hot object — similar to the pain of a boiling hot teacup on your skin — to the participants’ left inner forearms.
When rating their experiences, people were more likely to report feeling less pain when listening to their favorite songs compared with hearing the unfamiliar relaxing song or silence. The mixed songs did not reduce pain either, which the authors suggested was evidence of music being more than a distraction (分散注意力) from an unpleasant experience.
After interviewing the participants about the song they brought and their rating of pain, the researchers found people who listened to bittersweet and touching songs felt less pain than when they listened to songs with calming or cheerful themes.
12. What do we know about the music used in the experiment?
A. The mixed music was similar to the original in structure.
B. The seven songs chosen were strange to the participants.
C. The participants’ favorite songs had the same context.
D. All the music was played on the monitor screen.
13. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 3?
A. How long the participants listened to songs. B. How the experiment was carried out.
C. Why various songs were listened to. D. How different songs reduced pain.
14. Which music could reduce pain most according to the experiment?
A. Bittersweet and moving songs. B. A mixture of different songs.
C. Songs with calming themes. D. Unfamiliar relaxing songs.
15. What’s the purpose of the article?
A. To stress people’s preference for music. B. To recommend different kinds of songs.
C. To explain why music can cure discases. D. To introduce the effect of music on people’s feeling.

47. 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。
Wolf! Hank thought. The boy stared out of the cabin (小木屋) window at the animal. It was sitting a stone’s throw away in the moonlight. The wolf howling (嚎叫), Hank shook slightly. For the first time, he felt truly alone in the mountains.
It had felt good to be allowed to come along with Dad. Dad was a scientist who studied wild animals. Two days ago, they had moved into an empty cabin. Here, Dad would write a report about what he had found. But they discovered that dozens and dozens of mice had taken over the cabin. The little creatures had gotten into the supplies of dried food and ruined almost everything.
Now, because most of the food was gone, Dad had left to get new supplies from town and would be staying overnight. Hank had insisted on staying behind.
The wolf howl sounding again, Hank opened the logbook to write about it, but his hand shook. Dad had never mentioned having any trouble with wolves. Hank closed the logbook and put it on the table. Quickly he looked around for something he could use as a weapon just in case. He grabbed a stick from the fireplace, went to the door, and took a deep breath.
Then he opened the door, waved the stick, and shouted with all his might (强大力量): “Co away, wolf. Go away!” Shocked, the wolf sprang (跳跃) and started running away. Hank closed the door, his heart pounding hard. When he’d caught his breath, he turned back to the window. Oh, no! There was the wolf sitting right where it had sat before.
Hank stared at the wolf. The wolf stared right back at him. Hank was staring into the eyes of a hunter. He knew, like all creatures, the wolf needed to eat. Hank’s dad had said wolves play their part in the environment by eating deer, rabbits, and other animals. But maybe, like the hungry mice that were running about Hank’s feet, wolves go for any food they can find. Suddenly, Hank heard a squeaky (吱吱叫的) noise!
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1:
Holding his breath, Hank raised his head to see.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
As the wolf sprang up and tried to catch another mouse, Hank opened the logbook again.
