In the Bob’s Burgers Movie, a huge sinkhole (污水坑) opens in the street in front of the Belcher family’s fast-food restaurant, so the brave children explore. Loren Bouchard, the comedy’s creator, promises a “musical comedy mystery adventure”. Firestarter Firestarter is adapted from Stephen King’s 1980 novel. It is the story of a girl with a super power. Whenever she gets upset, things burst into flame (火焰). The former adaptation came out in 1984. “The book’s super rich. There’s a lot of stuff (东西) that’s in the book that isn’t in the original film. There was room for improvement,” said Keith Thomas, the new film’s director Petite Maman The heroine is eight-year-old Nelly. After her grandmother’s death, Nelly plays in the woods and meets Marion, a girl of her own age. The pair play together, becoming close friends. Mark Kermode wrote, “Whether you are 6 or 60,this surprisingly heartbreakingly hopeful cinematic poem will pierce (穿透) your heart, broaden your mind and gladden your spirit, even if you are in tears.” Spider-Man: No Way Home It earned $ 253 million in US and Canadian ticket sales, making it the third biggest north American opening in Hollywood history. “This film is sure to remind audiences why our friendly neighborhood hero remains one of Marvel’s best, and that is thanks in large part to Tom Hollan’s performance.” (Fan: Caitlin Chappell) “This movie does what the best movie always do: They thrill you and move you and make you want to cheer in the theater.” (Fan: Pete Hammond) 1. Which film should you go to see if you want to watch a musical comedy? A. The Bob’s Burgers Movie. B. Firestarter. C. Petite Maman. D. Spider-Man: No Way Home 2. What do the two films Firestarter and Petite Maman share in common? A. Both are about superpower. B. Both are about stories of girls. C. Both are horror movies. D. Both are adapted from novels 3. What do you know about Spider-Man: No Way Home? A. Its characters aren’t likeable. B. It is well received among the audience. C. It mixes humor with high technology. D. It made the third-biggest ticket sales worldwide. B The expression, “everybody’s doing it,” is very much at the center of the concept of peer pressure. It is a social influence applied on an individual in order to get that person to act or behave in a similar way as a larger group. People are social creatures by nature, and so it is hardly surprising that some part of their self-respect comes from the approval of others. This instinct explains why the approval of peers, or the fear of disapproval, is such a powerful force in many people’s lives. This instinct drives people to dress one way at home and another way at work, or to answer a simple “fine” when a stranger asks “how are you?” even if it is not necessarily true. For certain individuals, seeking social acceptance is so important that it becomes an addiction. Teens and young adults may feel forced to smoke, or drink alcohol, which might encourage criminal behavior. Mature adults may sometimes feel pressured to cover up illegal activity at the company where they work, or end up in debt because they are unable to hold back the desire to buy a house or car that they can’t afford in an effort to keep up with the peers. However, peer pressure is not always negative. A student whose friends are good at academics may be urged to work harder and get good grades. Players on a sports team may feel driven to play harder in order to help the team win. This type of influence can also get a friend off smoking, or to help an adult take up a good habit or drop a bad one. Although peer pressure is sometimes quite obvious, it can also be so subtle that a person may not even notice that it is affecting his or her behavior. For this reason, when making important decisions, simply going with an instinct is risky. Instead, people should seriously consider why they feel drawn to taking a particular action, or it is simply because everyone else is doing the same thing. 4. What does the underlined word “instinct” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. A natural tendency. B. An acquired ability. C. A popular idea. D. An obvious mistake. 5. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. Potential causes of peer pressure. B. Possible positive effects of peer pressure. C. Negative consequences of peer pressure. D. Tips for coping with peer pressure. 6. What is the author’s suggestion when making a decision? A. Simply go with an instinct. B. Ask for advice from adults. C. Listen to the inner motivation. D. Follow in the footsteps of others. 7. What is the author’s attitude to peer pressure? A. Objective. B. Ambiguous. C. Critical. D. Indifferent. C When watching sports events, we often notice athletes with their earphones on while preparing in the locker room or entering the stadium. They keep their eyes shut, and gently nod along the beats. It seems as if the music is empowering them and toughening them up for the competition. But is there any science behind such practice? According to a recent research, it turns out there is. Music actually does make us feel powerful, but not all songs have the same effect. The research was led by Dennis Hsu of the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University in the US. His team had people listen to 31 songs of different types. The listeners felt powerful after listening to some songs, such as Queen’s We Will Rock You and 2 Unlimited’s Get Ready for This. Researchers also found that high-power music made people want to take control in social events and come first in competition. As for the reason for music’s magical power, Hsu’s team came up with one possible explanation: When people hear music that expresses a sense of power, they mimic these feelings in their mind. So, when choosing music, we need to look at the type of music. In previous research by the Music in Exercise and Sport Group at Brunel University in London, they found that pop was perfect for slower, more repetitive-type tasks. Dance music was found to be best suited to strength and weight training because it’s “fast and rhythmical”. During high-intensity workouts, though, you’d better not listen to rock. Its different changes in tempo can affect your rhythm. 8. Why athletes were mentioned in the first paragraph? A. To list things athletes have in common with other people. B. To describe athletes’ common habits before sports games. C. To get readers to wonder whether music matters in sports. D. To explain why athletes like listening to music before games. 9. Which of the following statements might Dennis Hsu agree with? A. Listening to music can always boost the athlete’s performance. B. People listening to powerful music are likely to produce similar feelings. C. The result of a game is mainly affected by the physical condition of the players. D. Most athletes don’t know the effects of high-power music on their performance. 10. If you want to cool down after exercise, what kind of music will be suitable? A. Pop music. B. Dance music. C. Rock. D. Blues. 11. How did the author make his points clear? A. With comparisons. B. Through examples. C. By giving general rules. D. Through listing figures. D Small endangered animals are often hard to find in their natural habitats (栖息地), making it difficult for scientists to spot them and develop conservation plans. But new technologies can help. Australian researchers have equipped flying drones (遥控飞机) with cameras so they can spot koalas hiding high in trees. Koalas spend most of their lives in eucalyptus trees (桉树), whose leaves are their favorite food. Since the leaves are low in calories and nutritional content, koalas are not very active — they sleep up to 20 hours a day. Living in high branches, they are not easy to spot from the ground, and they have few natural predators (捕食者). The greatest threat to them is that lots of trees are being cut down. “Every single tree in Australia, right now, needs to be protected, and unless that happens I can promise you the koala is going to become extinct,” said Deborah Tabart, from the Australian Koala Foundation. Scientists studying koalas say one of the keys to saving animals is to know where they live and how many of them are left. Using drones fitted with cameras to conduct a census (数目调查) was an untested concept. Queensland Institute of Technology technician Gavin Broadbent said they were doubtful at first. “But when we saw the images come through, we saw the koalas were very clear compared to the trees and the environment. So we thought, yes, this is absolutely a proof of a concept that could work,” he said. The images sent back to a computer clearly show the animal’s position, even from a distance far enough away not to disturb its sleep. Scientists can scan the trees from all angles, picking out koalas even in the densest (稠密的) areas. Scientists say it is now clear that drones with cameras can be used for spotting, and perhaps saving, other animals in the wild. 12. What can we learn about koalas from the second paragraph? A. Koalas have nothing to eat but eucalyptus leaves. B. Koalas’ food is high in calories, so they are fat. C. Koalas are not very active because they like sleeping. D. Koalas live in high branches so they are difficult to spot. 13. What is making the number of koalas decrease? A. Hunting. B. Their natural predators. C. Destruction of their habitat. D. Climate change. 14. Which of the following is NOT an advantage of the new method to spot koalas? A. It can be used to protect other animals in the world. B. The pictures shot by the cameras clearly show koalas’ position. C It can be carried out without disturbing koalas’ sleep. D. The koalas in the densest areas can be picked out with this method. 15. What would be the best title for the text? A. How Koalas Live in Australia B. The Number of the Koalas Is Decreasing Sharply C. Measures Must Be Taken to Protect Koalas’ Habitat D Drones Help Scientists Spot Endangered Koalas 二、七选五 （每小题2.5分，共12.5分） Childhood obesity puts kids at risk for cardiovascular disease, bone and joint problems, sleep apnea, and potential social and psychological problems. ___16___ Of course, the CDC recommends healthy lifestyle choices—healthy eating, physical exercise. ___17___ That is to provide a safe and supportive environment where healthy lifestyle choices can be made. What don't kids need?___18___Too much focus on overweight leads toward more weight gain. A new data analysis of two studies found that children whose parents considered them to be “overweight" tended to gain more weight over 10 years than children whose parents considered them “normal weight".

They were engaged in more attempts to lose weight. ___19___ The clear message from this study is that dieting is more likely to lead to weight gain, not weight loss, in both children and adults.

Left untreated, these problems can continue into adulthood. C. They also point out another important way to keep kids healthy. D. The researchers cannot be certain about what is driving. E.

This instinct explains why the approval of peers, or the fear of disapproval, is such a powerful force in many people’s lives.可知，人生来就是群居动物，所以他们的部分自尊来自于他人的认可也就不足为奇了。这种本能解释了为什么在许多人的生活中，同伴的赞同，或对不赞同的恐惧是如此强大的力量。由此可见，instinct就是指这种自然的倾向。故选A项。 【5题详解】 主旨大意题。由第四段However, peer pressure is not always negative.可知，但是，同龄人压力不总是消极的，即它也有积极的一面。这句话是改段的中心句，下文是举例子说明同龄压力的一些积极面。故选B项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。由第五段For this reason, when making important decisions, simply going with an instinct is risky. Instead, people should seriously consider why they feel drawn to taking a particular action, or it is simply because everyone else is doing the same thing.可知，因此，在做重要决定时，仅仅凭直觉行事是有风险的。相反，人们应该认真考虑为什么他们会被某个特定的行为所吸引，或者仅仅是因为其他人都在做同样的事情。由此可见，当做决定时，我们不是受同龄人影响，而应该遵循自己的内心。故选C项。 7题详解】 推理判断题。作者在这篇文章里既提及了同龄人压力的消极面，也谈到了它的积极的一面。由此可知，作者对此的态度是客观而中立的，没有偏颇的。故选A项。 C When watching sports events, we often notice athletes with their earphones on while preparing in the locker room or entering the stadium. They keep their eyes shut, and gently nod along the beats. It seems as if the music is empowering them and toughening them up for the competition. But is there any science behind such practice?

B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了音乐类型对体育运动的影响，并介绍了相关研究以及发现。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“It seems as if the music is empowering them and toughening them up for the competition. But is there any science behind such practice?(似乎音乐赋予了他们力量，让他们在比赛中更加坚强。但这种做法背后有科学依据吗？)”是一个承上启下句，可推知第一段提到运动员是为了让读者思考音乐在体育运动中是否重要。故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“When people hear music that expresses a sense of power, they mimic(模拟) these feelings in their mind.(当人们听到表达力量感的音乐时，他们会在脑海中模仿这些感觉)”可知，当人们听有力量的音乐时内心会产生与音乐类似的感受。故选B。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“In previous research by the Music in Exercise and Sport Group at Brunel University in London, they found that pop was perfect for slower, more repetitive-type tasks.(在伦敦布鲁内尔大学的运动和运动音乐小组之前的研究中，他们发现流行音乐对于较慢、重复性较高的任务来说是完美的)”可推知，运动后需要放松，做重复的动作，所以适合听流行音乐（Pop music）。故选A。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“In previous research by the Music in Exercise and Sport Group at Brunel University in London, they found that pop was perfect for slower, more repetitive-type tasks. Dance music was found to be best suited to strength and weight training because it’s “fast and rhythmical”. During high-intensity workouts, though, you’d better not listen to rock. Its different changes in tempo can affect your rhythm.(在伦敦布鲁内尔大学的运动和运动音乐小组之前的研究中，他们发现流行音乐对于较慢、重复性较高的任务来说是完美的。舞曲被发现最适合力量和重量训练，因为它“快而有节奏”。然而，在高强度的训练中，你最好不要听摇滚乐。节奏的不同变化会影响你的节奏)”可知，作者通过举例子来说明自己的观点“运动时，听动感音乐能给予人力量。”故选B。 D Small endangered animals are often hard to find in their natural habitats (栖息地), making it difficult for scientists to spot them and develop conservation plans. But new technologies can help. Australian researchers have equipped flying drones (遥控飞机) with cameras so they can spot koalas hiding high in trees. Koalas spend most of their lives in eucalyptus trees (桉树), whose leaves are their favorite food. Since the leaves are low in calories and nutritional content, koalas are not very active — they sleep up to 20 hours a day. Living in high branches, they are not easy to spot from the ground, and they have few natural predators (捕食者). The greatest threat to them is that lots of trees are being cut down. “Every single tree in Australia, right now, needs to be protected, and unless that happens I can promise you the koala is going to become extinct,” said Deborah Tabart, from the Australian Koala Foundation. Scientists studying koalas say one of the keys to saving animals is to know where they live and how many of them are left. Using drones fitted with cameras to conduct a census (数目调查) was an untested concept. Queensland Institute of Technology technician Gavin Broadbent said they were doubtful at first. “But when we saw the images come through, we saw the koalas were very clear compared to the trees and the environment. So we thought, yes, this is absolutely a proof of a concept that could work,” he said. The images sent back to a computer clearly show the animal’s position, even from a distance far enough away not to disturb its sleep. Scientists can scan the trees from all angles, picking out koalas even in the densest (稠密的) areas. Scientists say it is now clear that drones with cameras can be used for spotting, and perhaps saving, other animals in the wild. 12. What can we learn about koalas from the second paragraph? A. Koalas have nothing to eat but eucalyptus leaves. B. Koalas’ food is high in calories, so they are fat. C. Koalas are not very active because they like sleeping. D. Koalas live in high branches so they are difficult to spot. 13. What is making the number of koalas decrease? A. Hunting. B. Their natural predators. C. Destruction of their habitat. D. Climate change. 14. Which of the following is NOT an advantage of the new method to spot koalas? A. It can be used to protect other animals in the world. B. The pictures shot by the cameras clearly show koalas’ position. C. It can be carried out without disturbing koalas’ sleep. D. The koalas in the densest areas can be picked out with this method. 15. What would be the best title for the text? A How Koalas Live in Australia B. The Number of the Koalas Is Decreasing Sharply C. Measures Must Be Taken to Protect Koalas’ Habitat D. Drones Help Scientists Spot Endangered Koalas 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是澳大利亚研究人员为无人机配备摄像头，帮助发现躲在树上的考拉，以便为其制定保护计划。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Living in high branches, they are not easy to spot from the ground, and they have few natural predators (捕食者).(它们生活在高高的树枝上，从地面上很难发现，而且很少有天敌。)”可知 ，考拉生活在高大的树枝上，很难在地上发现它们。故选D项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The greatest threat to them is that lots of trees are being cut down.(对它们最大的威胁是大量的树木被砍伐。)”可知，对考拉来说最大的威胁是树木被砍伐，由此可知，造成考拉数量减少的原因是栖息地被破坏。故选C项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。由倒数第二段“The images sent back to a computer clearly show the animal’s position, even from a distance far enough away not to disturb its sleep. Scientists can scan the trees from all angles, picking out koalas even in the densest (稠密的) areas.(发回电脑的图像清楚地显示了动物的位置，即使是在足够远的距离不打扰它睡觉的情况下。科学家可以从各个角度扫描树木，即使是在最密集的地区也能找到考拉。)”可知，摄像头拍摄的考拉位置很清楚，在很远的距离就可以拍摄的到而不会影响考拉休息，同时，还可以在茂密的地区找到考拉，所有这些都是新设备发现考拉的优点，只有A选项“它可以用来保护世界上的其他动物”没有涉及到。故选A项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据首段中的“Small endangered animals are often hard to find in their natural habitats (栖息地), making it difficult for scientists to spot them and develop conservation plans. But new technologies can help. Australian researchers have equipped flying drones (遥控飞机) with cameras so they can spot koalas hiding high in trees. (小型濒危动物通常很难在它们的自然栖息地找到，这使得科学家很难发现它们并制定保护计划。但新技术可以提供帮助。澳大利亚研究人员为无人机配备了摄像头，这样它们就可以发现躲在高高的树上的考拉。)”并结合下文中对新设备帮助发现考拉的相关信息的介绍可知，本文讲了用无人机搭载摄像机的技术可以清楚地看到藏在树上的考拉，从而可以统计出考拉的数目，便于保护这种濒危动物，因此，本文的标题为“无人机帮助科学家发现濒危的考拉”符合本文的内容，并且也概括了本文的主题。故选D项。 二、七选五 （每小题2.5分，共12.5分） Childhood obesity puts kids at risk for cardiovascular disease, bone and joint problems, sleep apnea, and potential social and psychological problems. ___16___ Of course, the CDC recommends healthy lifestyle choices—healthy eating, physical exercise. ___17___ That is to provide a safe and supportive environment where healthy lifestyle choices can be made. What don't kids need?___18___Too much focus on overweight leads toward more weight gain. A new data analysis of two studies found that children whose parents considered them to be “overweight" tended to gain more weight over 10 years than children whose parents considered them “normal weight". Children whose parents label them as “overweight" had a negative self-perception about their bodies. They were engaged in more attempts to lose weight. ___19___ The clear message from this study is that dieting is more likely to lead to weight gain, not weight loss, in both children and adults. Psychology researchers Eric Robinson and Angelina Sutin argue that the stigma of being labeled overweight as a child might actually gain weight in the future. ___20___ For the study, children's height and weight were measured at age 4 or 5, and parents were asked to describe whether they thought the children were best described as underweight, normal weight, overweight or very overweight. When the children were 12 or 13, they used images to best depict what they perceived their bodies to look like and were asked whether or not they engaged in any dieting behavior. Height and weight measurements were taken again when the children were 14 or 15 years old. A. Labels and pressure around weight and weight gain. B. Left untreated, these problems can continue into adulthood. C. They also point out another important way to keep kids healthy. D. The researchers cannot be certain about what is driving. E. They analyzed the data from a study of Australian children. F. But it actually contributed to weight gain over the 10-year period. G.
