Reading Comprehension(共15 小题，每小题2分，共30分) Choose the best answer according to the passage you read. (A) How good are you at remembering names, dates, and telephone numbers? It is not easy for all. Remembering things is one of the most interesting functions (功能) of the human brain (大脑). That’s why scientists spend so much time studying how it works. Studies show that when we learn something new, it stays in our memory (记忆) for 20-30 seconds. This is our short-term memory. Remembering a phone number long enough to find a piece of paper is an example. The opposite of short-term memory is long-term memory, which is where things are stored in the brain for a long time. The brain can turn short-term memory into long-term memory. For example, when studying for an exam, instead of just reading the information once or twice, you might go over your notes again and again until you can remember the important information. Dave Farrow is known for his excellent memory. He has been listed twice in Guinness (吉尼斯) World Records for Greatest Memory. As a student, Dave had great difficulties in learning. He found some ways to improve his memory in order to do well in school. Here are some you can try. One way is to look at the first letter of each word you want to remember. Then, make your own word or sentence using all of those letters. For example, if you want to remember all the colours in a rainbow, try remembering the name Roy G.Biv. Each letter in this name matches the first letter of a colour：red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. Another way is to remember information in groups. For example, when you remember a telephone number, remember three numbers as a group, the next four numbers as a group and the final four numbers as a group. This way, your brain only has to remember three things instead of 11. If you are interested in improving your memory apart from using some ways to remember things, there are lots of simple things you can do, like eating healthily, sleeping well and exercising daily. Challenging (挑战) your brain also helps you keep it healthy and active. So, why not start playing mind games, learning a musical instrument or studying a new language? 26. What can we learn from Paragraph 2? A. Short-term memory is less important than long-term memory. B. The information needed for an exam stays in short-term memory. C. People store new information in long-term memory by going over it. D. Our short-term memory can hold information for more than half a minute. 27. The writer talks about Dave Farrow to ________. A. describe how people remember things B. show the importance of a great memory C. tell people to use some ways to improve memory D. give a reason why people need to improve memory 28. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. Some advice to improve memory. B. Some activities to challenge the brain. C. Some advantages of playing mind games. D. Some reasons for keeping the brain active. 【答案】26. C 27. C 28. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了记忆的种类以及诸多提升记忆力的方法。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The brain can turn short-term memory into long-term memory. For example, when studying for an exam, instead of just reading the information once or twice, you might go over your notes again and again until you can remember the important information.”可知，大脑可以将短期记忆转化为长期记忆。人们通过反复复习可以将新信息储存在长期记忆中。故选C。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“He found some ways to improve his memory in order to do well in school. Here are some you can try.”可知，作者提到他是为了告诉人们使用一些方法来提高记忆力。故选C。 【28题详解】 段落大意题。根据文章第五段“If you are interested in improving your memory, apart from using some ways to remember things, there are lots of simple things you can do, like eating healthily, sleeping well and exercising daily. Challenging (挑战) your brain also helps you keep it healthy and active.”可知，除了用一些方法来记忆外，你还可以做很多简单的事情，比如健康饮食、睡眠和每天锻炼。本段主要介绍了一些提高记忆力的建议。故选A。 (B) You must have heard of the legend (传说) of Yu Gong, who tried to move two mountains. The Taihang Mountain was one of the two mountains. The Taihang Mountain passes through the areas of Hebei, Shanxi, Henan and Beijing. It is about 400 kilometers long. It is one of the largest mountain ranges in North China, and it was called “the backbone (脊梁) of China” in ancient times. Many legends about the beginning of human civilization (文明) come from the Taihang area. For example, Nvwa used stones to repair the sky to make sure that humans would have a better future; Houyi protected everyone by shooting the suns. The Taihang Mountain is not only where the ancient stories happened, but also a place where tens of thousands of fossils (化石) were found. These fossils show how the earth has changed over time. At the same time, we can also learn about how ancient humans lived from the discoveries around the area. Nowadays, there are natural forests around the area with beautiful colors in four seasons. In spring, the trees of Taihang Mountain will grow green leaves. In summer, the trees will grow luxuriant (挺拔的) and leaves will cover the sun. In autumn, the trees in Taihang Mountain are tall and leaves turn yellow. In winter, the trees are covered with snow, like a thick white coat. You can go there whenever you want because it is beautiful all year round. If you want to learn different things about history, culture and other important knowledge, you can come to the Taihang Mountain and feel its greatness. 29. What can show that humans have lived around the Taihang area since long ago? A. Natural forests. B. The fossils. C. Many legends. D. Ancient stories. 30. What does the text tell us about the Taihang Mountain? ① Its location ② Its natural scenery ③Its legends ④Its height A. ①②③ B. ①②④ C. ①③④ D. ②③④ 31. Why does the writer write the text? A. To introduce famous legends about the Taihang Mountain. B. To tell people how to take a trip to the Taihang Mountain. C. To show the Taihang Mountain is wonderful and worth visiting. D. To encourage people to learn more knowledge about ancient history. 32. In which part of the magazine can we read the text? A. History. B. Art. C. Technology. D. Travel. 【答案】29. B 30. A 31. C 32. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了太行山的相关信息。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据“These fossils show how the earth has changed over time. At the same time, we can also learn about how ancient humans lived from the discoveries around the area.”可知这些化石显示了地球是如何随着时间的推移而变化的，同时，我们还可以从该地区周围的发现中了解古代人类是如何生活的。故选B。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The Taihang Mountain passes through the areas”可知此处是太行山的位置；根据“For example, Nvwa used stones to repair the sky to make sure that humans would have a better future; Houyi protected everyone by shooting the suns.”可知此处介绍了和太行山有关的传说；根据“ there are natural forests around the area with beautiful colors in four seasons”可知此处介绍了太行山的美景。故选A。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。本文主要介绍了太行山的相关信息，表明太行山极好，值得参观。故选C。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。本文主要介绍了太行山的相关信息，故文章可能出现在杂志的旅行版面。故选D。 (C) You might hear someone talking about the Plank Challenge (平板支撑挑战). Recently, it has become more and more popular. Why? Planks can be done almost anywhere. And doing the plank needs a little time and the steps to do it are simple. What’s more, doing planks can bring people lots of benefits (益处). Have you ever felt that when you tried standing on one leg, you couldn’t stand up straight for more than a few seconds? It’s not because you were drunk, of course. But it’s because your muscles (肌肉) weren’t strong enough to give you the balance you needed. Doing planks will help you achieve that balance. Planks are great for improving your body’s metabolism (新陈代谢) by building up your muscle groups. Having strong muscles means you burn more calories (卡路里) when you’re exercising or even when you’re sleeping. Since you’ll be burning more calories, you’ll feel hungry a lot more often. This can be a great chance for you to begin eating a healthy diet. And you will become much healthier. Doing planks is also important to mental (精神的) health. Just think about it: you are sitting in your chair, at home or at school, all day long; your muscles get tired, and your legs get heavy. Doing plank exercises will relax the muscle groups that may cause stress in the body. As a result, they may help to calm your brain and even can treat anxiety and worry. So are you ready to spend 5 to 10 minutes every day staying fit and healthy? Then jump in and make doing plank exercises a part of your life. 33. Why does the Plank become a more and more popular sport? A. Someone is talking about the Plank Challenge. B. You can do it almost anywhere in a little time. C. You don’t need to follow many steps to do it. D. A benefit will be certainly brought to people. 34. What can cause you to burn more calories even when you’re sleeping? A. Having strong muscles. B. Standing up straight. C. Eating a healthy diet. D. Treating anxiety and worry. 35. Which of the following can best explain the implication (内含) of the last paragraph? A. Finding a way to keep you balance is very important. B. Feeling hungry more often shows you’re healthier. C. Plank exercises should be necessary in everyone’s life. D. People now pay more attention to their mental health. 36. How is the above text organized? A. B. C. D. 【答案】33. B 34. A 35. C 36. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了经常做平板支撑运动的好处。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Recently, it has become more and more popular. Why? Planks can be done almost anywhere. And doing the plank needs a little time and the steps to do it are simple.”可知，平板支撑变得越来越受欢迎是因为做平板支撑只需要一点时间。故选B。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Having strong muscles means you burn more calories (卡路里) when you’re exercising or even when you’re sleeping.”可知，拥有强壮的肌肉意味着你在锻炼甚至睡觉时会燃烧更多的卡路里。故选A。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据“So are you ready to spend 5 to 10 minutes every day staying fit and healthy? Then jump in and make doing plank exercises a part of your life.”可知，最后一段是在建议人们都应该让平板支撑成为生活的一部分，说明平板支撑在每个人的生活中都应该是必要的。故选C。 【36题详解】 篇章结构题。分析文章可知，第一段介绍平板支撑受欢迎的原因；第二、三、四段介绍做平板支撑的益处；第五段呼吁人们将平板支撑融入日常生活，保持健康和活力。因此结构是选项D所示。故选D。 (D) “Depend on yourself” is the first Step on the road to dreams. “Depend on yourself” is the first secret of good results. “Depend on yourself” is what nature says to everyone. Parents can help you. Teachers can help you. But all these only help you to help yourself. There have been many great men in history. But many of them were very poor in childhood, and had no uncles, aunts and friends to help them. Schools were few and not very good. They could not depend on them for education. They saw how it was, and began to work with their own efforts (努力) to know something. They worked their own way up to fame. One of the most famous teachers in England used to tell his pupils, “I can’t make worthy (优秀的) men of you, but I can help you make men of yourselves.” Some young men have the best of everything, but they are to be pitied (同情). They can never do things successfully if they don’t see their weak point and change their attitudes (态度) to study. They are nobody now, and will be nobody as long as (只要) they don’t follow the advice of their parents and teachers, and depend on their own efforts. 37. “Depend on yourself” in this passage means “________”. A. rely on (依靠) nature B. wait for others to help C. rely on your own efforts D. count on your parents’ help 38. Many of the great men in history succeeded because they ________. A. made great efforts to learn and work B. wanted very much to become famous C. were very poor in childhood D. could not depend on schools for education 39. According to the famous teacher in England, a teacher can ________. A. make his pupils worthy men B. help his pupils find a way to fame C. make his pupils strength and courage D. help his pupils make themselves become useful 40. If young people depend on their own efforts, ________. A. they are to be pitied B. they can succeed in their life C. they are nothing forever D. they can’t change their attitudes 【答案】37. C 38. A 39. D 40. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要阐述了“依靠自己”才是通向梦想成功的第一步；父母可以帮助你，老师可以帮助你，其他人也可以帮助你，但所有这些都只能帮助你去帮助你自己。 【37题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第一段“But all these only help you to help yourself.”可知，所有这些都只能帮助你去帮助你自己；据此可知“depend on yourself”意为“你只能依赖自己的努力”，与“rely on your own efforts”同义。故选C。 【38题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“They saw how it was, and began to work with their own efforts to know something.”可知，许多历史上成功的伟人之所以成功是因为他们付出了巨大的努力来学习和工作。故选A。 【39题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“One of the most famous teachers in England used to tell his pupils, ‘I can’t make worthy men of you, but I can help you make men of yourselves.’”可知，这位老师认为自己不能让学生成为有价值的人，但可以帮助学生成为有价值的人。故选D。 【40题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“They are nobody now, and will be nobody as long as they don’t follow the advice of their parents and teachers, and depend on their own efforts.”可知，他们现在是无名小卒，只要不听从父母和老师的建议，依靠自己的努力，他们就会成为无名小卒；据此可以推断，如果年轻人依靠自己的努力，那么他们的人生就会取得成功。故选B。 Ⅲ.

(共5小题，每小题2分，共10分) Reading Expression “Fall” and “Autumn” What season is it in October? If you ask people from UK, they will tell you it’s “autumn”. But if you go to US, you will find that people use “autumn” or “fall”. According to Dictionary.com, both words have been around for a long time, but neither of them was first to describe this season. During this season, crops would become ripe (成熟) and farmers would have a big harvest. So in Old English, this season was simply called “harvest”. Then, in the 1600s, more people left their farms and moved to cities. With fewer people farming, the word “harvest” became less useful. English speakers needed a different name for the season. They knew leaves fell from trees during the season, so people started calling it “the fall of the leaf”, or “fall” for short. But at the end of the 1600s, autumn, from the French word “autompne” and the Latin “autumnus”, came to English. “Fall” as the word for this season disappeared slowly. At the same time, people in UK were making their first trip to North America. They brought the words “fall” and “autumn” with them. That’s why today Americans have two names for one season. 66. According to the passage, either autumn or fall is ________ ________ every year. 67. People call this season “harvest” in Old English because ________ would become________. 68. In the 1600s, more people left their farms to ________ ________ cities. 69. Fall is ________ ________ the fall of the leaf. 70. The passage is mainly about ________ ________ of the names of the season in October. 【答案】66. ①. in ②. October 67. ①. crops ②. ripe 68. ①. move ②. to 69. ①. short ②. for 70. ①. the ②. history 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了英语中“秋季”的两个名称“autumn”和“fall”的历史。 【66题详解】 根据“What season is it in October? If you ask people from UK, they will tell you it’s ‘autumn’. But if you go to US, you will find that people use ‘autumn’ or ‘fall’.”可知，不管是“autumn”还是“fall”都在每年的十月。故填in；October。 【67题详解】 根据“During this season, crops would become ripe (成熟) and farmers would have a big harvest. So in Old English, this season was simply called ‘harvest’.”可知，在古英语中，人们称这个季节为“harvest”是因为作物会成熟。故填crops；ripe。 【68题详解】 根据“Then, in the 1600s, more people left their farms and moved to cities.”可知，在17世纪，更多的人离开了他们的农场，搬到了城市。故填move；to。 【69题详解】 根据“so people started calling it ‘the fall of the leaf’, or ‘fall’ for short.”可知，fall是the fall of the leaf的缩写，be short for“是……的缩写”。故填short；for。 【70题详解】 通读全文可知，文章主要讲述了十月的季节名称“autumn”和“fall”的历史，故填the；history。 VII.

(A) How good are you at remembering names, dates, and telephone numbers? It is not easy for all. Remembering things is one of the most interesting functions (功能) of the human brain (大脑). That’s why scientists spend so much time studying how it works. Studies show that when we learn something new, it stays in our memory (记忆) for 20-30 seconds. This is our short-term memory. Remembering a phone number long enough to find a piece of paper is an example. The opposite of short-term memory is long-term memory, which is where things are stored in the brain for a long time. The brain can turn short-term memory into long-term memory. For example, when studying for an exam, instead of just reading the information once or twice, you might go over your notes again and again until you can remember the important information. Dave Farrow is known for his excellent memory. He has been listed twice in Guinness (吉尼斯) World Records for Greatest Memory. As a student, Dave had great difficulties in learning. He found some ways to improve his memory in order to do well in school. Here are some you can try. One way is to look at the first letter of each word you want to remember. Then, make your own word or sentence using all of those letters. For example, if you want to remember all the colours in a rainbow, try remembering the name Roy G.Biv. Each letter in this name matches the first letter of a colour：red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. Another way is to remember information in groups. For example, when you remember a telephone number, remember three numbers as a group, the next four numbers as a group and the final four numbers as a group. This way, your brain only has to remember three things instead of 11. If you are interested in improving your memory, apart from using some ways to remember things, there are lots of simple things you can do, like eating healthily, sleeping well and exercising daily. Challenging (挑战) your brain also helps you keep it healthy and active. So, why not start playing mind games, learning a musical instrument or studying a new language? 26. What can we learn from Paragraph 2? A. Short-term memory is less important than long-term memory. B. The information needed for an exam stays in short-term memory. C. People store new information in long-term memory by going over it. D. Our short-term memory can hold information for more than half a minute. 27. The writer talks about Dave Farrow to ________. A. describe how people remember things B. show the importance of a great memory C. tell people to use some ways to improve memory D. give a reason why people need to improve memory 28. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. Some advice to improve memory. B. Some activities to challenge the brain. C. Some advantages of playing mind games. D. Some reasons for keeping the brain active. (B) You must have heard of the legend (传说) of Yu Gong, who tried to move two mountains. The Taihang Mountain was one of the two mountains. The Taihang Mountain passes through the areas of Hebei, Shanxi, Henan and Beijing. It is about 400 kilometers long. It is one of the largest mountain ranges in North China, and it was called “the backbone (脊梁) of China” in ancient times. Many legends about the beginning of human civilization (文明) come from the Taihang area. For example, Nvwa used stones to repair the sky to make sure that humans would have a better future; Houyi protected everyone by shooting the suns. The Taihang Mountain is not only where the ancient stories happened but also a place where tens of thousands of fossils (化石) were found. These fossils show how the earth has changed over time. At the same time, we can also learn about how ancient humans lived from the discoveries around the area. Nowadays, there are natural forests around the area with beautiful colors in four seasons. In spring, the trees of Taihang Mountain will grow green leaves. In summer, the trees will grow luxuriant (挺拔的) and leaves will cover the sun. In autumn, the trees in Taihang Mountain are tall and leaves turn yellow. In winter, the trees are covered with snow, like a thick white coat. You can go there whenever you want because it is beautiful all year round. If you want to learn different things about history culture and other important knowledge, you can come to the Taihang Mountain and feel its greatness. 29. What can show that humans have lived around the Taihang area since long ago? A. Natural forests. B. The fossils. C. Many legends. D. Ancient stories. 30. What does the text tell us about the Taihang Mountain? ① Its location ② Its natural scenery ③Its legends ④Its height A. ①②③ B. ①②④ C. ①③④ D. ②③④ 31. Why does the writer write the text? A. To introduce famous legends about the Taihang Mountain. B. To tell people how to take a trip to the Taihang Mountain. C. To show the Taihang Mountain is wonderful and worth visiting. D. To encourage people to learn more knowledge about ancient history. 32. In which part of the magazine can we read the text? A. History. B. Art. C. Technology. D. Travel. (C) You might hear someone talking about the Plank Challenge (平板支撑挑战). Recently, it has become more and more popular. Why? Planks can be done almost anywhere. And doing the plank needs a little time and the steps to do it are simple. What’s more, doing planks can bring people lots of benefits (益处). Have you ever felt that when you tried standing on one leg, you couldn’t stand up straight for more than a few seconds? It’s not because you were drunk, of course. But it’s because your muscles (肌肉) weren’t strong enough to give you the balance you needed. Doing planks will help you achieve that balance. Planks are great for improving your body’s metabolism (新陈代谢) by building up your muscle groups. Having strong muscles means you burn more calories (卡路里) when you’re exercising or even when you’re sleeping. Since you’ll be burning more calories, you’ll feel hungry a lot more often. This can be a great chance for you to begin eating a healthy diet. And you will become much healthier. Doing planks is also important to mental (精神的) health. Just think about it: you are sitting in your chair, at home or at school, all day long; your muscles get tired, and your legs get heavy. Doing plank exercises will relax the muscle groups that may cause stress in the body. As a result, they may help to calm your brain and even can treat anxiety and worry. So are you ready to spend 5 to 10 minutes every day staying fit and healthy? Then jump in and make doing plank exercises a part of your life. 33. Why does the Plank become a more and more popular sport? A. Someone is talking about the Plank Challenge. B. You can do it almost anywhere in a little time. C. You don’t need to follow many steps to do it. D. A benefit will be certainly brought to people. 34. What can cause you to burn more calories even when you’re sleeping? A. Having strong muscles. B. Standing up straight. C. Eating a healthy diet. D. Treating anxiety and worry. 35. Which of the following can best explain the implication (内含) of the last paragraph? A. Finding a way to keep you balance is very important. B. Feeling hungry more often shows you’re healthier. C. Plank exercises should be necessary in everyone’s life. D. People now pay more attention to their mental health. 36. How is the above text organized? A. B. C. D. (D) “Depend on yourself” is the first Step on the road to dreams. “Depend on yourself” is the first secret of good results. “Depend on yourself” is what nature says to everyone. Parents can help you. Teachers can help you. But all these only help you to help yourself. There have been many great men in history. But many of them were very poor in childhood, and had no uncles, aunts and friends to help them. Schools were few and not very good. They could not depend on them for education. They saw how it was, and began to work with their own efforts (努力) to know something. They worked their own way up to fame. One of the most famous teachers in England used to tell his pupils, “I can’t make worthy (优秀的) men of you, but I can help you make men of yourselves.” Some young men have the best of everything, but they are to be pitied (同情). They can never do things successfully if they don’t see their weak point and change their attitudes (态度) to study. They are nobody now, and will be nobody as long as (只要) they don’t follow the advice of their parents and teachers, and depend on their own efforts. 37. “Depend on yourself” in this passage means “________”. A. rely on (依靠) nature B. wait for others to help C. rely on your own efforts D. count on your parents’ help 38. Many of the great men in history succeeded because they ________. A. made great efforts to learn and work B. wanted very much to become famous C. were very poor in childhood D. could not depend on schools for education 39. According to the famous teacher in England, a teacher can ________. A. make his pupils worthy men B. help his pupils find a way to fame C. make his pupils strength and courage D. help his pupils make themselves become useful 40. If young people depend on their own efforts, ________. A. they are to be pitied B. they can succeed in their life C. they are nothing forever D. they can’t change their attitudes Ⅲ.

If you ask people from UK, they will tell you it’s “autumn”. But if you go to US, you will find that people use “autumn” or “fall”. According to Dictionary.com, both words have been around for a long time, but neither of them was first to describe this season. During this season, crops would become ripe (成熟) and farmers would have a big harvest. So in Old English, this season was simply called “harvest”. Then, in the 1600s, more people left their farms and moved to cities. With fewer people farming, the word “harvest” became less useful. English speakers needed a different name for the season. They knew leaves fell from trees during the season, so people started calling it “the fall of the leaf”, or “fall” for short.
