For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank. Jars filled with health Internet users have recently looked for ways to keep themselves healthy from any illnesses 21 (spread) this time of year. One suggestion was to eat canned peaches (桃子), a delicious treat that many have believed 22 (have) health benefits. It was even suggested online that canned yellow peaches should 23 (include) in people’s medical insurance! With there being a tradition from Northeast China that people should eat canned peaches to help fight illness, the love 24 the tasty snack has spread across the whole country. Some even say there is a god of canned yellow peaches in Northeast China 25 will silently bless everyone and keep them from becoming ill. Actually, there isn’t a mystical (神秘的) reason 26 the food may help those feeling unwell. Scientists discovered that a can of preserved peaches can have up to four times the amount of vitamin C than the same quantity of fresh peaches. That’s a good reason to start eating the delicious treat. However, more than just its nutritious value, canned peaches fit into the category of “comfort foods”. These are the foods 27 we grew up eating and they bring back good memories of better times 28 we eat them. Interestingly, it seems that using food as a comfort can be found everywhere in the world. Lots of places say that you should eat warm chicken soup when you feel ill 29 (make) a speedy recovery. In the UK, our parents and grandparents give us soup when we are feeling poorly from a young age. This memory gives the dish that “feel-good” factor 30 (need) to help us get better. IV. Vocabulary （10’） Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

Body image and self-confidence, or our lack of confidence, is something that we never really talk about for fear of drawing attention to our 31 . But the truth is that our body image issues affect us more than we’d like to 32 . Over the last eight years I’ve worked hard to 33 my business. My main focus has been my work—writing books, creating products, launching products, growing my team—and I’ve dedicated long hours to my company’s success. My diligence has definitely paid off and my business is thriving, but all of that hustling has come at a(n) 34 cost. I’ve spent long hours at the computer and little time exercising or eating 35 . I tried to ignore it and I told myself that no one noticed, but my weight steadily crept up. As a result, my confidence slowly decreased, and I retreated from the 36 —both personal and professional—that I loved. I stopped going out with friends, stopped sharing photos of myself on social media and avoided media interviews. Even if I didn’t want to admit it, I knew that the underlying problem was that I just didn’t feel 37 about myself. I had to make a change. I started by getting clear about my goals, which included getting into the best shape of my life, changing the way I ate and running a 10K on my 40th birthday. But more importantly, I got honest with myself about why those goals were so 38 and then I asked the people that I trust the most to hold me accountable. From there, I had to make the daily decision to 39 through. It wasn’t easy. In fact, there were many 40 that were downright painful. But I’m succeeding, and I’m happy to see that I’ve made changes and am now leading a healthier life. V. Reading （15’+22’+8’） Section A Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. Self-confidence: one’s belief that they can meet all the demands of a task. Some people are born with it, and everyone else is out of 41 , right? Wrong! Self-confidence is not something people are born with, like their height or hair color. It’s a skill that anyone can start 42 today. One simple self-confidence builder is 43 self-talk. What you say to yourself 44 how you feel about yourself. Telling yourself “I can’t do anything right” or asking “Why did I even try?” could ruin you. Instead, if you get a bad grade on a test, try saying “I’ll do better next time.” Rather than focusing on your failure,   45 ways that you can improve, and try again. Another way to 46 your confidence is to believe in yourself. Studies show that believing you can do something can increase your chance of success. If you put in the work to learn how to do something, believe in your ability. Don’t let 47 steal your energy and motivation away. One of the ugliest enemies of self-confidence is 48 yourself to others. Thinking that you are better than other people won’t give you confidence. 49 , it will make you proud. And thinking you are worse than others won’t make you 50 ; it will fill you with envy. Fight back by counting your blessings. Keep a journal and write down all the things that you’re 51 for. Facing your fears is another way to build self-confidence. You might have a(n) 52 for public speaking. But how will you know if you never overcome your fears and try it? Even if you fail, leaving your 53 zone can make you stronger. Don’t let fear become an obstacle in your journey toward excellence! Finally, showing kindness to others is a great way to build self-confidence. Showing kindness 54 you that you can make a difference in the world. When you make others feel good, you, 55 , feel good about yourself. 41．A．luck B．order C．curiosity D．habit 42．A．updating B．displaying C．applying D．practicing 43．A．addictive B．positive C．independent D．energetic 44．A．links B．influences C．limits D．stretches 45．A．involve B．ignore C．identify D．indicate 46．A．shake B．share C．impact D．inspire 47．A．concentration B．doubt C．enthusiasm D．embarrassment 48．A．communicating B．comparing C．proving D．exposing 49．A．Moreover B．Therefore C．Instead D．However 50．A．flexible B．intelligent C．negative D．humble 51．A．grateful B．respectful C．responsible D．regretful 52．A．anxiety B．talent C．mood D．occasion 53．A．danger B．occupation C．safety D．comfort 54．A．informs B．reminds C．promises D．confirms 55．A．in all B．in person C．in turn D．in addition Section B Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. A Camera flashes cut across the softly lighted downtown Los Angeles restaurant, as the crowd at Ludo Bites jostles (推挤) for the photo-of the Columbian River king salmon duck. “This is the game we all now play, ” chef and owner Ludo Lefebvre said. “We cook, we smile-and the people, they don’t eat. They get their cameras.” Not so long ago, diners, hungry for special meals, would pull out a point-and-shoot at a restaurant for a quick picture of sliced birthday cake. No more. Taking a cue from Twitter and Facebook cultures, serious foodies (美食家) and casual consumers alike are using digital technology to document each bite, then sharing the pictures online. Flickr, the photo-sharing website, has seen the number of pictures tagged as “food” jump from about half a million in 2008 to more than 6 million today, according to company officials. In the group “I Ate This” on Flickr’s site, nearly 20,000 people have uploaded more than 307,000 images of their latest meals. Camera manufacturers are joining the trend, selling cameras that offer “food” settings, which adjust to enhance colors and textures (质地) on close-ups. “I am sharing my experiences with my friends,” said Hong Pham, 33, a Los Angeles radiologist who runs the food blog Ravenous Couple. “Why shouldn’t I share what inspires me?” But what is documentary fun for people such as Pham is souring the gastronomic (烹饪的) set. Managers regularly face diners demanding to be moved away from camera flashes and sounds. Waiters find themselves tongue-tied as customers take out voice recorders to capture a recitation of each course. Some chefs have had enough. Chef Grant Achatz allows only no-flash photography in his restaurant. He, like many other chefs, finds himself torn between being flattered by the public’s enthusiasm and annoyed with the effect the picture-taking is having on the restaurant’s operation. Some consumers now believe food should be consumed visually as well as physically. “What happened to the enjoyment of just eating the food?” said Andrew Knowlton, the restaurant editor for Bon Appetite magazine. “People are losing sight of why you go out.” 56．Who is the most supportive of taking pictures of food in restaurants? A．Grant Achatz. B．Andrew Knowlton. C．Hong Pham. D．Ludo Lefebvre. 57．People tend to take pictures in restaurants because ______. A．delicately-made dishes are visually inviting B．they will share with others their dining experience C．cameras can be specially set for food photography D．they can profit by selling pictures to famous websites 58．What can we infer from the passage? A．More pictures will be uploaded at websites like Twitter and Facebook. B．Consumers used to take pictures in restaurants only for their birthdays. C．Rules should be set out that there is no food photography in restaurants. D．Chefs are likely to accept picture-taking in their restaurants to a limited extent. 59．The passage is most probably a ______. A．news story B．feature article C．commercial advertisement D．survey report B The best white noise machines for a good night’s sleep Sleep is crucial to health.

Researchers have now quantified the biological and emotional benefits of a well-told tale. “We know that narrative has the power to transport us to another world,” says Guilherme Brockington from Brazil’s Federal University. “Earlier research suggested that stories help children process and regulate their emotions — but this was mostly conducted in a laboratory, with subjects answering questions while lying inside functional MRI machines. There are few studies on biological and psychological effects of storytelling in a more commonplace hospital setting.” So investigators working in several Brazilian hospitals split a total of 81 patients aged 4 to 11 into two groups, matching them with storytellers who had a decade of hospital experience. In one group, the storyteller led each child in playing a riddle game. In the other, youngsters chose books and listened as the storyteller read them aloud. Before and after these sessions, the researchers took spit samples from each child, then asked them to report their pain levels and conducted a free-association word quiz. Children in both groups benefited measurably from the interactions; they showed lower levels of cortisol — the stress-related hormone and higher levels of oxytocin, which is often described as a feel-good hormone. Yet kids in the storytelling group benefited significantly more: their cortisol levels were a quarter of those in the riddle group, and their oxytocin levels were nearly twice as high. Those who heard stories also reported pain levels dropping almost twice as much as those in the riddle group, and they used more positive words to describe their hospital stay. The study demonstrates that playing games or simply interacting with someone can relax kids and improve their outlook but that hearing stories has an especially dramatic effect. The researchers “really tried to control the social interaction component of the storyteller, which I think was the key,” says Raymond Mar, a psychologist at York University who was not involved in the new research. Next, the investigators plan to study how long these effects last, along with storytelling’s potential benefits to kids with particular illnesses such as cancer. For now Brockington says the results indicate storytelling is a low-cost and extremely efficient way to help improve health outcomes in a variety of settings. Mar agrees. “It’s very promising and scalable,” he says, “and possibly generalizable.” 63．What is the second paragraph mainly about? A．The effects of story-telling on children. B．The limitations of the earlier research. C．The methods used in earlier studies. D．The major breakthroughs achieved so far. 64．The underlined word “scalable” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to _________. A．accessible B．comparable C．adjustable D．readable 65．Which of the following is TRUE about the study conducted in Brazilian hospitals? A．It measured participants’ blood levels. B．It divided subjects into groups of 81. C．It quantified the benefits of story-telling. D．It compared impact of two types of story-telling. 66．The conclusion drawn from the study is that ________. A．listening to stories reduces pain and stress in hospitalized kids B．interacting with others improves sick kids’ mental sharpness C．story telling has potential benefits for kids with cancers D．riddle guessing is as effective as storytelling in helping sick kids Section C Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences in the box Each sentence can only be used once. Note that there are two sentences more than you need. More Than a Feeling Charles Darwin formulated the most successful theory in the history of biology: the theory of evolution. He was also responsible for another grand theory: the theory of emotion, which dominated his field for more than a century. Its core principle was that the mind consists of two competing forces: the rational and the emotional. 67 We now know that, on the contrary, emotions enhance our process of reasoning and aid our decision-making. In fact, we can’t make decisions, or even think, without being influenced by our emotions. 68 Perhaps the most important discovery regarding the role of emotion is that even when you believe you are exercising cold, logical reason, you are not. People are not usually aware of this, but the very framework (框架) of their thought process is highly influenced by what they are feeling at the time - sometimes subtly (细微地). Consider anger, for example. Backed by the threat of attack, anger creates incentives (动机) for others to comfort the angry individual. Your mental calculations increase the importance you place on your own welfare and goals at the expense of others’. Coaches tap into anger as a motivational tool because the focus on the self encourages athletes to push themselves to achieve their goals. Anger also causes you to perceive less risk. 69 The new view of emotion may not correspond to the way Darwin saw it, but it does support one of the basic conclusions of his theory of evolution. Humans are not as different from non-human animals as people believed. What can we learn from this? The first and most crucial step is self- awareness. 70 By studying our own emotions, we can read others’ better and communicate more effectively. Once we are in touch with our true feelings, we can take steps to manage them whenever it benefits. A．Emotions play a critical role in shaping our thoughts and decisions, subtly influencing the framework of our reasoning even when we believe we are thinking rationally. B．He believed that emotions played a constructive role in the lives of non-human animals, while the usefulness of emotions was largely replaced by the evolution of reason in humans. C．That can produce better judgments in situations where risk aversion (厌恶) is inappropriate, as when you are analyzing stocks (股票) or playing poker. D．Anger, while often perceived negatively, can sometimes fuel our motivation and reduce our perception of risk, enabling more decisive actions in certain situations. E．Studies show that those with high levels of emotional intelligence fare better in their personal and professional lives. F．If emotions aid rational reasoning, how does that work. VI.

Camera manufacturers are joining the trend, selling cameras that offer “food” settings, which adjust to enhance colors and textures (质地) on close-ups. “I am sharing my experiences with my friends,” said Hong Pham, 33, a Los Angeles radiologist who runs the food blog Ravenous Couple. “Why shouldn’t I share what inspires me?” But what is documentary fun for people such as Pham is souring the gastronomic (烹饪的) set. Managers regularly face diners demanding to be moved away from camera flashes and sounds. Waiters find themselves tongue-tied as customers take out voice recorders to capture a recitation of each course. Some chefs have had enough. Chef Grant Achatz allows only no-flash photography in his restaurant. He, like many other chefs, finds himself torn between being flattered by the public’s enthusiasm and annoyed with the effect the picture-taking is having on the restaurant’s operation. Some consumers now believe food should be consumed visually as well as physically. “What happened to the enjoyment of just eating the food?” said Andrew Knowlton, the restaurant editor for Bon Appetite magazine. “People are losing sight of why you go out.” 56．Who is the most supportive of taking pictures of food in restaurants?

Researchers have now quantified the biological and emotional benefits of a well-told tale. “We know that narrative has the power to transport us to another world,” says Guilherme Brockington from Brazil’s Federal University. “Earlier research suggested that stories help children process and regulate their emotions — but this was mostly conducted in a laboratory, with subjects answering questions while lying inside functional MRI machines. There are few studies on biological and psychological effects of storytelling in a more commonplace hospital setting.” So investigators working in several Brazilian hospitals split a total of 81 patients aged 4 to 11 into two groups, matching them with storytellers who had a decade of hospital experience. In one group, the storyteller led each child in playing a riddle game. In the other, youngsters chose books and listened as the storyteller read them aloud. Before and after these sessions, the researchers took spit samples from each child, then asked them to report their pain levels and conducted a free-association word quiz. Children in both groups benefited measurably from the interactions; they showed lower levels of cortisol — the stress-related hormone and higher levels of oxytocin, which is often described as a feel-good hormone. Yet kids in the storytelling group benefited significantly more: their cortisol levels were a quarter of those in the riddle group, and their oxytocin levels were nearly twice as high. Those who heard stories also reported pain levels dropping almost twice as much as those in the riddle group, and they used more positive words to describe their hospital stay. The study demonstrates that playing games or simply interacting with someone can relax kids and improve their outlook but that hearing stories has an especially dramatic effect. The researchers “really tried to control the social interaction component of the storyteller, which I think was the key,” says Raymond Mar, a psychologist at York University who was not involved in the new research. Next, the investigators plan to study how long these effects last, along with storytelling’s potential benefits to kids with particular illnesses such as cancer. For now Brockington says the results indicate storytelling is a low-cost and extremely efficient way to help improve health outcomes in a variety of settings. Mar agrees. “It’s very promising and scalable,” he says, “and possibly generalizable.” 63．What is the second paragraph mainly about? A．The effects of story-telling on children. B．The limitations of the earlier research. C．The methods used in earlier studies. D．The major breakthroughs achieved so far. 64．The underlined word “scalable” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to _________. A．accessible B．comparable C．adjustable D．readable 65．Which of the following is TRUE about the study conducted in Brazilian hospitals? A．It measured participants’ blood levels. B．It divided subjects into groups of 81. C．It quantified the benefits of story-telling. D．It compared impact of two types of story-telling. 66．The conclusion drawn from the study is that ________. A．listening to stories reduces pain and stress in hospitalized kids B．interacting with others improves sick kids’ mental sharpness C．story telling has potential benefits for kids with cancers D．riddle guessing is as effective as storytelling in helping sick kids Section C Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences in the box Each sentence can only be used once. Note that there are two sentences more than you need. More Than a Feeling Charles Darwin formulated the most successful theory in the history of biology: the theory of evolution. He was also responsible for another grand theory: the theory of emotion, which dominated his field for more than a century. Its core principle was that the mind consists of two competing forces: the rational and the emotional. 67 We now know that, on the contrary, emotions enhance our process of reasoning and aid our decision-making. In fact, we can’t make decisions, or even think, without being influenced by our emotions. 68 Perhaps the most important discovery regarding the role of emotion is that even when you believe you are exercising cold, logical reason, you are not. People are not usually aware of this, but the very framework (框架) of their thought process is highly influenced by what they are feeling at the time - sometimes subtly (细微地). Consider anger, for example. Backed by the threat of attack, anger creates incentives (动机) for others to comfort the angry individual. Your mental calculations increase the importance you place on your own welfare and goals at the expense of others’. Coaches tap into anger as a motivational tool because the focus on the self encourages athletes to push themselves to achieve their goals. Anger also causes you to perceive less risk. 69 The new view of emotion may not correspond to the way Darwin saw it, but it does support one of the basic conclusions of his theory of evolution. Humans are not as different from non-human animals as people believed. What can we learn from this? The first and most crucial step is self- awareness. 70 By studying our own emotions, we can read others’ better and communicate more effectively. Once we are in touch with our true feelings, we can take steps to manage them whenever it benefits. A．Emotions play a critical role in shaping our thoughts and decisions, subtly influencing the framework of our reasoning even when we believe we are thinking rationally. B．He believed that emotions played a constructive role in the lives of non-human animals, while the usefulness of emotions was largely replaced by the evolution of reason in humans. C．That can produce better judgments in situations where risk aversion (厌恶) is inappropriate, as when you are analyzing stocks (股票) or playing poker. D．Anger, while often perceived negatively, can sometimes fuel our motivation and reduce our perception of risk, enabling more decisive actions in certain situations. E．Studies show that those with high levels of emotional intelligence fare better in their personal and professional lives. F．If emotions aid rational reasoning, how does that work.

Body image and self-confidence, or our lack of confidence, is something that we never really talk about for fear of drawing attention to our 31 . But the truth is that our body image issues affect us more than we’d like to 32 . Over the last eight years I’ve worked hard to 33 my business. My main focus has been my work—writing books, creating products, launching products, growing my team—and I’ve dedicated long hours to my company’s success. My diligence has definitely paid off and my business is thriving, but all of that hustling has come at a(n) 34 cost. I’ve spent long hours at the computer and little time exercising or eating 35 . I tried to ignore it and I told myself that no one noticed, but my weight steadily crept up. As a result, my confidence slowly decreased, and I retreated from the 36 —both personal and professional—that I loved. I stopped going out with friends, stopped sharing photos of myself on social media and avoided media interviews. Even if I didn’t want to admit it, I knew that the underlying problem was that I just didn’t feel 37 about myself. I had to make a change. I started by getting clear about my goals, which included getting into the best shape of my life, changing the way I ate and running a 10K on my 40th birthday. But more importantly, I got honest with myself about why those goals were so 38 and then I asked the people that I trust the most to hold me accountable. From there, I had to make the daily decision to 39 through. It wasn’t easy. In fact, there were many 40 that were downright painful.

Reading （15’+22’+8’） Section A Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. Self-confidence: one’s belief that they can meet all the demands of a task. Some people are born with it, and everyone else is out of 41 , right? Wrong! Self-confidence is not something people are born with, like their height or hair color. It’s a skill that anyone can start 42 today. One simple self-confidence builder is 43 self-talk. What you say to yourself 44 how you feel about yourself. Telling yourself “I can’t do anything right” or asking “Why did I even try?” could ruin you. Instead, if you get a bad grade on a test, try saying “I’ll do better next time.” Rather than focusing on your failure,   45 ways that you can improve, and try again. Another way to 46 your confidence is to believe in yourself. Studies show that believing you can do something can increase your chance of success. If you put in the work to learn how to do something, believe in your ability. Don’t let 47 steal your energy and motivation away. One of the ugliest enemies of self-confidence is 48 yourself to others. Thinking that you are better than other people won’t give you confidence. 49 , it will make you proud. And thinking you are worse than others won’t make you 50 ; it will fill you with envy. Fight back by counting your blessings. Keep a journal and write down all the things that you’re 51 for. Facing your fears is another way to build self-confidence. You might have a(n) 52 for public speaking. But how will you know if you never overcome your fears and try it?

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. A Camera flashes cut across the softly lighted downtown Los Angeles restaurant, as the crowd at Ludo Bites jostles (推挤) for the photo-of the Columbian River king salmon duck. “This is the game we all now play, ” chef and owner Ludo Lefebvre said. “We cook, we smile-and the people, they don’t eat. They get their cameras.” Not so long ago, diners, hungry for special meals, would pull out a point-and-shoot at a restaurant for a quick picture of sliced birthday cake. No more. Taking a cue from Twitter and Facebook cultures, serious foodies (美食家) and casual consumers alike are using digital technology to document each bite, then sharing the pictures online. Flickr, the photo-sharing website, has seen the number of pictures tagged as “food” jump from about half a million in 2008 to more than 6 million today, according to company officials. In the group “I Ate This” on Flickr’s site, nearly 20,000 people have uploaded more than 307,000 images of their latest meals. Camera manufacturers are joining the trend, selling cameras that offer “food” settings, which adjust to enhance colors and textures (质地) on close-ups. “I am sharing my experiences with my friends,” said Hong Pham, 33, a Los Angeles radiologist who runs the food blog Ravenous Couple. “Why shouldn’t I share what inspires me?” But what is documentary fun for people such as Pham is souring the gastronomic (烹饪的) set. Managers regularly face diners demanding to be moved away from camera flashes and sounds. Waiters find themselves tongue-tied as customers take out voice recorders to capture a recitation of each course. Some chefs have had enough. Chef Grant Achatz allows only no-flash photography in his restaurant. He, like many other chefs, finds himself torn between being flattered by the public’s enthusiasm and annoyed with the effect the picture-taking is having on the restaurant’s operation. Some consumers now believe food should be consumed visually as well as physically. “What happened to the enjoyment of just eating the food?” said Andrew Knowlton, the restaurant editor for Bon Appetite magazine. “People are losing sight of why you go out.” 56．Who is the most supportive of taking pictures of food in restaurants? A．Grant Achatz. B．Andrew Knowlton. C．Hong Pham. D．Ludo Lefebvre. 57．People tend to take pictures in restaurants because ______. A．delicately-made dishes are visually inviting B．they will share with others their dining experience C．cameras can be specially set for food photography D．they can profit by selling pictures to famous websites 58．What can we infer from the passage? A．More pictures will be uploaded at websites like Twitter and Facebook. B．Consumers used to take pictures in restaurants only for their birthdays. C．Rules should be set out that there is no food photography in restaurants. D．Chefs are likely to accept picture-taking in their restaurants to a limited extent. 59．The passage is most probably a ______. A．news story B．feature article C．commercial advertisement D．survey report 【答案】56．C 57．B 58．D 59．B 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了越来越多的人们喜欢给美食拍照来分享自己的饮食经历，而厨师持不同的观点。 56．细节理解题。根据第六段“‘I am sharing my experiences with my friends,’ said Hong Pham, 33, a Los Angeles radiologist who runs the food blog Ravenous Couple. ‘Why shouldn’t I share what inspires me?’(33岁的Hong Pham是洛杉矶的一名放射科医生，经营着美食博客Ravenous Couple。他说，‘我正在和朋友们分享我的经历。为什么我不能分享激励我的东西呢? ’)”可知，Hong Pham乐意和朋友分享吃饭的经历，因此最支持在餐馆里给食物拍照。故选C项。 57．细节理解题。根据第三段中“Taking a cue from Twitter and Facebook cultures, serious foodies(美食家) and casual consumers alike are using digital technology to document each bite, then sharing the pictures online.(受Twitter和Facebook文化的启发，严肃的美食家和普通消费者都在使用数字技术记录下每一口食物，然后在网上分享照片。)”可知，很多消费者倾向于在餐馆拍照，因为他们会和别人分享他们的用餐经历。故选B项。 58．推理判断题。根据第一段中“‘This is the game we all now play,’ chef and owner Ludo Lefebvre said. ‘We cook, we smile-and the people, they don’t eat. They get their cameras.’(厨师兼老板Ludo Lefebvre说，‘这是我们现在都在玩的游戏，我们做饭，我们微笑——而那些人，他们不吃东西。他们拿到了相机。’)”和倒数第二段“Chef Grant Achatz allows only no-flash photography in his restaurant. He, like many other chefs, finds himself torn between being flattered by the public’s enthusiasm and annoyed with the effect the picture-taking is having on the restaurant’s operation.(主厨Grant Achatz只允许在他的餐厅里无闪光灯拍照。和许多其他厨师一样，他发现自己进退两难，一方面为公众的热情感到高兴，另一方面又为拍照对餐厅经营造成的影响感到恼火。)”可知，厨师可能会在一定程度上接受在他们的餐厅拍照。故选D项。 59．推理判断题。通读全文，根据第一段中“Camera flashes cut across the softly lighted downtown Los Angeles restaurant, as the crowd at Ludo Bites jostles(推挤) for the photo-of the Columbian River king salmon duck.(镜头掠过灯光柔和的洛杉矶市中心的Ludo Bites餐厅，一群人推挤着为哥伦比亚河王鲑鱼鸭拍照。)”以及最后一段“Some consumers now believe food should be consumed visually as well as physically. ‘What happened to the enjoyment of just eating the food?’ said Andrew Knowlton, the restaurant editor for Bon Appetite magazine. ‘People are losing sight of why you go out.’(一些消费者现在认为，食物不仅要吃，还要看视觉。‘吃东西的乐趣哪里去了?’《好胃口》杂志的餐厅编辑Andrew Knowlton说，‘人们正在忘记外出的原因。’)”可知，本文是一篇关于美食拍照的专题文章。故选B项。 B The best white noise machines for a good night’s sleep Sleep is crucial to health.

Researchers have now quantified the biological and emotional benefits of a well-told tale. “We know that narrative has the power to transport us to another world,” says Guilherme Brockington from Brazil’s Federal University. “Earlier research suggested that stories help children process and regulate their emotions — but this was mostly conducted in a laboratory, with subjects answering questions while lying inside functional MRI machines. There are few studies on biological and psychological effects of storytelling in a more commonplace hospital setting.” So investigators working in several Brazilian hospitals split a total of 81 patients aged 4 to 11 into two groups, matching them with storytellers who had a decade of hospital experience. In one group, the storyteller led each child in playing a riddle game. In the other, youngsters chose books and listened as the storyteller read them aloud. Before and after these sessions, the researchers took spit samples from each child, then asked them to report their pain levels and conducted a free-association word quiz. Children in both groups benefited measurably from the interactions; they showed lower levels of cortisol — the stress-related hormone and higher levels of oxytocin, which is often described as a feel-good hormone. Yet kids in the storytelling group benefited significantly more: their cortisol levels were a quarter of those in the riddle group, and their oxytocin levels were nearly twice as high. Those who heard stories also reported pain levels dropping almost twice as much as those in the riddle group, and they used more positive words to describe their hospital stay. The study demonstrates that playing games or simply interacting with someone can relax kids and improve their outlook but that hearing stories has an especially dramatic effect. The researchers “really tried to control the social interaction component of the storyteller, which I think was the key,” says Raymond Mar, a psychologist at York University who was not involved in the new research. Next, the investigators plan to study how long these effects last, along with storytelling’s potential benefits to kids with particular illnesses such as cancer. For now Brockington says the results indicate storytelling is a low-cost and extremely efficient way to help improve health outcomes in a variety of settings. Mar agrees. “It’s very promising and scalable,” he says, “and possibly generalizable.” 63．What is the second paragraph mainly about? A．The effects of story-telling on children. B．The limitations of the earlier research. C．The methods used in earlier studies. D．The major breakthroughs achieved so far. 64．The underlined word “scalable” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to _________. A．accessible B．comparable C．adjustable D．readable 65．Which of the following is TRUE about the study conducted in Brazilian hospitals? A．It measured participants’ blood levels. B．It divided subjects into groups of 81. C．It quantified the benefits of story-telling. D．It compared impact of two types of story-telling. 66．The conclusion drawn from the study is that ________. A．listening to stories reduces pain and stress in hospitalized kids B．interacting with others improves sick kids’ mental sharpness C．story telling has potential benefits for kids with cancers D．riddle guessing is as effective as storytelling in helping sick kids 【答案】63．B 64．A 65．C 66．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述研究人员现在已经量化了一个讲得好的故事在生理和情感上的好处。 63．主旨大意题。根据第二段的“Earlier research suggested that stories help children process and regulate their emotions — but this was mostly conducted in a laboratory, with subjects answering questions while lying inside functional MRI machines. There are few studies on biological and psychological effects of storytelling in a more commonplace hospital setting.(早些时候的研究表明，故事有助于儿童处理和调节他们的情绪——但这主要是在实验室中进行的，受试者躺在功能性核磁共振成像仪里回答问题。很少有关于在更常见的医院环境中讲故事对生物和心理影响的研究。)”可知，第二段主要讲的是早期研究的局限性。故选B。 64．词句猜测题。根据最后一段的“the results indicate storytelling is a low-cost and extremely efficient way to help improve health outcomes in a variety of settings(研究结果表明，讲故事是一种低成本且极其有效的方法，可以帮助改善各种环境下的健康状况)”可知，这种方法是可行的，可使用的，scalable和accessible(可使用的)意思相近，故选A。 65．细节理解题。根据第四段的“Children in both groups benefited measurably from the interactions; they showed lower levels of cortisol — the stress-related hormone and higher levels of oxytocin, which is often described as a feel-good hormone. Yet kids in the storytelling group benefited significantly more: their cortisol levels were a quarter of those in the riddle group, and their oxytocin levels were nearly twice as high.(两组儿童都从互动中获益；他们的皮质醇（一种与压力相关的激素）水平较低，而催产素（一种常被描述为让人感觉良好的激素）水平较高。然而，讲故事组的孩子明显受益更多：他们的皮质醇水平是谜语组的四分之一，催产素水平几乎是谜语组的两倍。)”可知，巴西医院进行的研究量化了讲故事的好处。故选C。 66．推理判断题。根据第四段的“Those who heard stories also reported pain levels dropping almost twice as much as those in the riddle group, and they used more positive words to describe their hospital stay.(那些听故事的人报告的疼痛水平下降幅度几乎是听谜语的人的两倍，而且他们使用了更积极的词汇来描述他们的住院情况。)”和倒数第二段的“The study demonstrates that playing games or simply interacting with someone can relax kids and improve their outlook but that hearing stories has an especially dramatic effect.(该研究表明，玩游戏或与人互动可以让孩子放松，改善他们的人生观，但听故事的效果尤其显著。)”可知，这项研究得出的结论是听故事可以减轻住院儿童的痛苦和压力，故选A。 Section C Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences in the box Each sentence can only be used once. Note that there are two sentences more than you need. More Than a Feeling Charles Darwin formulated the most successful theory in the history of biology: the theory of evolution. He was also responsible for another grand theory: the theory of emotion, which dominated his field for more than a century. Its core principle was that the mind consists of two competing forces: the rational and the emotional. 67 We now know that, on the contrary, emotions enhance our process of reasoning and aid our decision-making. In fact, we can’t make decisions, or even think, without being influenced by our emotions. 68 Perhaps the most important discovery regarding the role of emotion is that even when you believe you are exercising cold, logical reason, you are not. People are not usually aware of this, but the very framework (框架) of their thought process is highly influenced by what they are feeling at the time - sometimes subtly (细微地). Consider anger, for example. Backed by the threat of attack, anger creates incentives (动机) for others to comfort the angry individual. Your mental calculations increase the importance you place on your own welfare and goals at the expense of others’. Coaches tap into anger as a motivational tool because the focus on the self encourages athletes to push themselves to achieve their goals. Anger also causes you to perceive less risk. 69 The new view of emotion may not correspond to the way Darwin saw it, but it does support one of the basic conclusions of his theory of evolution. Humans are not as different from non-human animals as people believed. What can we learn from this? The first and most crucial step is self- awareness. 70 By studying our own emotions, we can read others’ better and communicate more effectively. Once we are in touch with our true feelings, we can take steps to manage them whenever it benefits. A．Emotions play a critical role in shaping our thoughts and decisions, subtly influencing the framework of our reasoning even when we believe we are thinking rationally. B．He believed that emotions played a constructive role in the lives of non-human animals, while the usefulness of emotions was largely replaced by the evolution of reason in humans. C．That can produce better judgments in situations where risk aversion (厌恶) is inappropriate, as when you are analyzing stocks (股票) or playing poker. D．Anger, while often perceived negatively, can sometimes fuel our motivation and reduce our perception of risk, enabling more decisive actions in certain situations. E．Studies show that those with high levels of emotional intelligence fare better in their personal and professional lives. F．If emotions aid rational reasoning, how does that work. 【答案】67．B 68．F 69．C 70．E 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍达尔文的另一个伟大理论-情感理论，说明情感对人类有很大的影响，会影响人们的决策，有助于人们的理性推理。 67．根据上文“Charles Darwin formulated the most successful theory in the history of biology: the theory of evolution. He was also responsible for another grand theory: the theory of emotion, which dominated his field for more than a century. Its core principle was that the mind consists of two competing forces: the rational and the emotional. (查尔斯·达尔文提出了生物学史上最成功的理论：进化论。他还创立了另一个伟大的理论：情感理论，这一理论在他的研究领域占据了一个多世纪的主导地位。它的核心原则是，思维由两种相互竞争的力量组成：理性和情感。)”可知本段给出了要探讨的话题，就是达尔文的情感理论，因此下文应该进一步阐述达尔文的情感理论的内容，B选项“他认为情感在非人类动物的生活中起着建设性的作用，而情感的有用性在很大程度上被人类理性的进化所取代。”符合题意，并且选项呼应上文的“the rational and the emotional”，故选B。 68．根据上文“In fact, we can’t make decisions, or even think, without being influenced by our emotions. (事实上，如果不受情绪的影响，我们就无法做出决定，甚至无法思考。)”以及下文“Perhaps the most important discovery regarding the role of emotion is that even when you believe you are exercising cold, logical reason, you are not. People are not usually aware of this, but the very framework (框架) of their thought process is highly influenced by what they are feeling at the time - sometimes subtly (细微地). (也许关于情感的作用最重要的发现是，即使当你相信你在运用冷静、逻辑的推理时，你并不是。人们通常没有意识到这一点，但他们的思维过程的框架受到他们当时情感的高度影响——有时是微妙的。)”可知上下文都在说我们的思考和推理都是受情感影响的，所以F选项“如果情绪有助于理性推理，它是如何起作用的？”起到了承上启下的作用，符合题意，故选F。 69．根据上文“Anger also causes you to perceive less risk. (愤怒还会让你觉得风险更小。)”和选项，C选项“在不适宜规避风险的情况下，比如在分析股票或玩扑克时，这可以让你做出更好的判断。”正是对愤怒可以让你觉得风险更小的举例说明，选项中的“That”指代上文的“Anger”，连接紧密，故选C。 70．根据上文“The new view of emotion may not correspond to the way Darwin saw it, but it does support one of the basic conclusions of his theory of evolution. Humans are not as different from non-human animals as people believed. What can we learn from this? The first and most crucial step is self- awareness. (这种关于情感的新观点可能与达尔文的观点不一致，但它确实支持了达尔文进化论的一个基本结论。人类与非人类动物并不像人们认为的那样不同。我们能从中学到什么？第一步也是最关键的一步是自我意识。)”和下文“By studying our own emotions, we can read others’ better and communicate more effectively. Once we are in touch with our true feelings, we can take steps to manage them whenever it benefits. (通过研究我们自己的情绪，我们可以更好地理解别人的情绪，更有效地沟通。一旦我们接触到自己的真实感受，我们就可以采取措施来管理它们。)”可知本段都是讲我们从情感的新观点中学到了什么，也就是情绪的作用和好处，E选项“研究表明，情商高的人在个人生活和职业生涯中表现得更好。”符合题意，故选E。 VI.Translation (15’ =2+3+3+3+4) 71．.她总是对一切很乐观,哪怕身处逆境。( optimistic ) 【答案】She is always optimistic about everything in spite of being in trouble. 【详解】She is always optimistic about everything in spite of being in trouble. 本句中的介词短语in spite of不管，尽管，后面要接名词或者动名词做宾语。 72．我本打算去看那场足球赛的，但是一票难求。（available） 【答案】I had planned to watch that football match, but the ticket was not easily available. 【详解】考查并列句和形容词用法。分析可知，前后句为转折句，可用but连词连接；前一句可用句式结构：主语+had+planned to do，意为“原本打算做某事”；后一句主语为the ticket，谓语为系动词“was”，提供词available，形容词，“可得到的”可作为表语。故翻译为：I had planned to watch that football match, but the ticket was not easily available. 73．科学探索和自然栖息地的消亡是如何影响南极洲(Antarctica)的? (affect) 【答案】How do scientific exploration and the extinction of natural habitats affect Antarctica? 【详解】考查特殊疑问句、动词、形容词和名词。分析句子结构，本句应为how引出的特殊疑问句，其结构为：How+助动词/情态动词/be动词+主语+其他？根据句中的“科学探索和自然栖息地的消亡”和“影响”可知。这里应用助动词do。“科学”可表示为scientific，为形容词作定语；“探索”可表示为exploration，为不可数名词；“自然”可表示为natural，为形容词作定语；“栖息地”可表示为habit，为可数名词，这里应用复数；“消亡”可表示为extinction，为不可数名词；“影响”可表示为affect。本句可翻译为：How do scientific exploration and the extinction of natural habitats affect Antarctica? 74．我没想到他这样自律的学生这个暑假也会沉迷网络游戏，好多作业都没动。(abandon) 【答案】I didn’t think that such a self-disciplined student would also abandon himself to online games this summer vacation, leaving a lot of homework untouched. 【详解】考查短语、时态、非谓语动词和宾语从句。陈述过去事情，用一般过去时。“我”为I，在句中作主语，“没想到”翻译为didn’t think，在句中作谓语动词，后接宾语从句，从句不缺少成分且句意完整，所以用连接代词that引导。“他这样自律的学生”翻译为such a self-disciplined student，在从句中作主语，“沉迷”用短语abandon oneself to，在句中作谓语动词；“网络游戏”翻译为online games，在从句中作宾语。“这个暑假”翻译为this summer vacation，在从句中作时间状语。“好多作业都没动”翻译为leaving a lot of homework untouched，在句中作状语。根据句意，故翻译为I didn’t think that such a self-disciplined student would also abandon himself to online games this summer vacation, leaving a lot of homework untouched. 75. 如果你能请高年级的学生来给我们指导一下如何保持取得进步的信心，以及如何在意外事件中做出恰当的反应，我将不胜感激。(appreciate) 【答案】I would appreciate it if you could invite senior students to guide us on how to maintain the confidence to make progress and how to react appropriately in accidents. 【详解】考查固定句型。“如果……我将不胜感激”可用固定句型表达为I would appreciate it if...；“邀请”表达为invite；“高年级学生”表达为senior students；“指导我们”表达为guide us on sth.；故此处“邀请高年级学生来给我们指导一下”可用invite sb. to do sth.，故表达为invite senior students to guide us on sth.。“保持”表达为maintain；“取得进步的信心”表达为the confidence to make progress，用动词不定式to do作the confidence的定语。“在意外事故中”表达为in accidents；“做出恰当的反应”表达为react appropriately；根据句意可知，此处可用固定句型“如果……我将不胜感激”，I would appreciate it if...，if引导宾语从句，从句中“给我们指导一下如何”可表达为guide us on how to...，可用两个疑问词how+to do做宾语。故翻译为：I would appreciate it if you could invite senior students to guide us on how to maintain the confidence to make progress and how to react appropriately in accidents。 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024-2025学年高二英语上学期第一次月考（上教版） I．Words-filling (10’) 1.recipes 2.prosperity 3.release 4.confirm 5.intangible 6.on a regular basis 7.spread out 8.work wonders 9.crucial 10.in the long term.
