What should you take when you take an exam? Pen, an eraser, a ruler… don’t forget a bottle of water!
Scientist at the University of East London and the University of Westminster did a study on 447 students. Only 111 of them took something to drink. Scientist then compared (比较) their exam results with their normal schoolwork grades. They found those who had brought drinks with them all got better grades by between 2 and 10 percent.
“We don’t know why drinking water can be helpful. But scientists said having enough water in our bodies may also cut down on nervousness (紧张不安). This kind of feeling would be bad for exam performances,” said Chris Pawson, PHD of the University of East London.
“Whatever the explanation (解释) is, it is clear that students should try hard to stay hydrated (含水的) during exams,” he added.

In today’s world of fast-paced games and short videos, people are spending less and less time on things. For example, research has shown that the average visitor spends just 15 seconds on a website before moving on to other things. But the Internet is a huge and busy place, with millions of sites to choose from. You might expect people to slow down a bit more when they’re in museums full of great works of art. But you’d be wrong.
Several studies have shown that the amount of time for people to spend looking at a piece of art is ten seconds. Many people may spend more time, but not much more — the average is about 28 seconds. At the Tate Modern Museum in London, it’s even worse. People there spend an average of just eight seconds on each artwork. And in that short period of time, the visitors are also managing to do another important thing — take selfies !
In recent years museums have been working to change this behavior. Today, over 170 museums around the world are celebrating “Slow Art Day”. They are asking their visitors to spend at least 5-10 minutes looking at just one work of art. Slow Art supporters believe that when visitors spend more time looking at and studying the work of art, they admire it more. Studying a work of art for more time can also help people get a better understanding of the artist’s ideas and what the artist went through to create the work.
Most of the museums taking part in Slow Art Day are choosing just a few works for their visitors to see. Some of the museums are offering chances for visitors to talk about the artworks and share their ideas.
8. Generally speaking, people spend ______ on each piece of art in a museum.
A. 8 seconds B. 10 seconds C. 15 seconds D. 28 seconds
9. What do the underlined words “this behavior” refer to?
A. Admiring each artwork thoroughly. B. Taking selfies in museums busily.
C. Celebrating “Slow Art Day” widely. D. Looking at each artwork hurriedly.
10. Why is “Slow Art Day” created?
A. To attract more people to visit the museums
B. To stop visitors from taking selfies inside
C. To make people spend more time on each artwork
D. To give visitors an opportunity to relax themselves
11. Which of the following can be the best title of this passage?
A. Museums on the Rocks: Please Advise!
B. Museums: Slow down to Admire more!
C. Slow Art Day: a Fruit of Museums!
D. Museums: an Escape from the Fast-paced Life!
D
I had just made a memorable speech, and I was about to learn how the judges decided my performance. The audience leaned forward and a period of silence fell across the room. I felt the drum rolled in my heart.
The third-place winner was announced. The name was not mine. Then the second-place winner, still not me. At last, the moment of truth came. I was about to either enjoy the warmth of victory or regret the months’ preparation. My heart felt closer to the latter.
Losing is a part of life, and I have dealt with it on more than one occasion. However, it was an indescribable feeling to drive a 200-mile round trip, get up very early on a freezing Saturday morning, and yet still finish fourth out of four competitors in my group.
I had spent many hours in front of a computer and in libraries doing research for the Lincoln Bicentennial (200周年) Speech Contest. After not placing (获得名次) in the first year of the contest I really wanted to compete again. Lincoln had many failures, but he never allowed them to defeat his spirit or ambition, so I was not going to give up on a second contest! I reworked my speech for the following year, but again I did not place.
I couldn’t accept the fact that I failed twice in something that I had worked so hard on, until I thought about my hero. Never mind the lost prize money and praise—through learning stories about Lincoln, I discovered that I can fail successfully.
12. How did the author feel after finishing his speech?
A. Angry. B. Nervous. C. Confused. D. Hopeful.
13. What can be inferred from Paragraph 3?
A He was regretful about his not being fully prepared.
B. He felt so disappointed and didn’t want to try again.
C. He felt upset for getting up early on a freezing morning.
D. He turned out to be the last one of his group in the contest.
14. Which of the following can best describe the author?
A. Brave and determined. B. outgoing and talented.
C. Enthusiastic and easygoing. D. creative and attractive.
15. What does the author want to tell us?
A. Stand up from where we fall.
B. Don’t rely too much on others.
C. Never mind others’ judgments.
D. Learn to value memories in our life.

In today’s world of fast-paced games and short videos, people are spending less and less time on things. For example, research has shown that the average visitor spends just 15 seconds on a website before moving on to other things. But the Internet is a huge and busy place, with millions of sites to choose from. You might expect people to slow down a bit more when they’re in museums full of great works of art. But you’d be wrong.
Several studies have shown that the amount of time for people to spend looking at a piece of art is ten seconds. Many people may spend more time, but not much more — the average is about 28 seconds. At the Tate Modern Museum in London, it’s even worse. People there spend an average of just eight seconds on each artwork. And in that short period of time, the visitors are also managing to do another important thing — take selfies !
In recent years museums have been working to change this behavior. Today, over 170 museums around the world are celebrating “Slow Art Day”. They are asking their visitors to spend at least 5-10 minutes looking at just one work of art. Slow Art supporters believe that when visitors spend more time looking at and studying the work of art, they admire it more. Studying a work of art for more time can also help people get a better understanding of the artist’s ideas and what the artist went through to create the work.
Most of the museums taking part in Slow Art Day are choosing just a few works for their visitors to see. Some of the museums are offering chances for visitors to talk about the artworks and share their ideas.
8. Generally speaking, people spend ______ on each piece of art in a museum.
A. 8 seconds B. 10 seconds C. 15 seconds D. 28 seconds
9. What do the underlined words “this behavior” refer to?
A. Admiring each artwork thoroughly. B. Taking selfies in museums busily.
C. Celebrating “Slow Art Day” widely. D. Looking at each artwork hurriedly.
10. Why is “Slow Art Day” created?
A. To attract more people to visit the museums
B. To stop visitors from taking selfies inside
C. To make people spend more time on each artwork
D. To give visitors an opportunity to relax themselves
11. Which of the following can be the best title of this passage?
A. Museums on the Rocks: Please Advise!
B. Museums: Slow down to Admire more!
C. Slow Art Day: a Fruit of Museums!
D. Museums: an Escape from the Fast-paced Life!
【答案】8. D 9. D 10. C 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。如今人们花在欣赏一件艺术品上的时间很短,所以博物馆正在努力改变这种行为。全世界170多家博物馆正在庆祝“慢艺术日”,他们要求参观者至少花5-10分钟的时间来欣赏一件艺术品
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Many people may spend more time, but not much more—the average is about 28 seconds.(许多人可能会花费更多的时间,但不会多很多——平均时间约为28秒。)”可知,一般来说,人们花28秒钟来欣赏博物馆里的每一件艺术品,故选D。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段“Several studies have shown that the amount of time for people to spend looking at a piece of art is ten seconds. Many people may spend more time, but not much more—the average is about 28 seconds. At the Tate Modern Museum in London, it’s even worse. People there spend an average of just eight seconds on each artwork. And in that short period of time, the visitors are also managing to do another important thing—take selfies !(一些研究表明,人们花在欣赏一件艺术品上的时间是十秒钟。许多人可能会花费更多的时间,但不会多很多——平均时间约为28秒。在伦敦的泰特现代美术馆,情况更糟。那里的人们在每件艺术品上平均只花费8秒钟。在这短短的时间里,游客们还做了另一件重要的事情——自拍!)”可知,现在游客在欣赏一件艺术品上的时间很短,即他们匆匆地看每一件艺术品。所以近年来,博物馆一直在努力改变这种行为。由此可推知,“this behavior”指的是匆匆地看每一件艺术品这种行为,故选D。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Today, over 170 museums around the world are celebrating “Slow Art Day”. They are asking their visitors to spend at least 5-10 minutes looking at just one work of art.(今天,全世界170多家博物馆正在庆祝“慢艺术日”。他们要求参观者至少花5-10分钟的时间来欣赏一件艺术品)”结合第二段提到的人们现在平均花费28秒欣赏艺术作品可知,“慢艺术日”要求参观者至少花5-10分钟的时间来欣赏一件艺术品,由此可推知,设立“慢艺术日”是为了让人们花更多的时间在每一件艺术品上,故选C。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第二段中“Several studies have shown that the amount of time for people to spend looking at a piece of art is ten seconds. Many people may spend more time, but not much more—the average is about 28 seconds. ( 一些研究表明,人们花在欣赏一件艺术品上的时间是十秒钟。许多人可能会花费更多的时间,但不会多很多——平均时间约为28秒。)”和第三段中“In recent years museums have been working to change this behavior. Today, over 170 museums around the world are celebrating “Slow Art Day”. They are asking their visitors to spend at least 5-10 minutes looking at just one work of art.(近年来,博物馆一直在努力改变这种行为。今天,全世界170多家博物馆正在庆祝“慢艺术日”。他们要求参观者至少花5-10分钟的时间来欣赏一件艺术品。)”可知,如今人们花在欣赏一件艺术品上的时间很短,所以博物馆正在努力改变这种行为。全世界170多家博物馆正在庆祝“慢艺术日”,他们要求参观者至少花5-10分钟的时间来欣赏一件艺术品。由此可知,B项“博物馆: 慢下来欣赏更多!”适合做文章标题,故选B。
D
I had just made a memorable speech, and I was about to learn how the judges decided my performance. The audience leaned forward and a period of silence fell across the room. I felt the drum rolled in my heart.
The third-place winner was announced. The name was not mine. Then the second-place winner, still not me. At last, the moment of truth came. I was about to either enjoy the warmth of victory or regret the months’ preparation. My heart felt closer to the latter.
Losing is a part of life, and I have dealt with it on more than one occasion. However, it was an indescribable feeling to drive a 200-mile round trip, get up very early on a freezing Saturday morning, and yet still finish fourth out of four competitors in my group.
I had spent many hours in front of a computer and in libraries doing research for the Lincoln Bicentennial (200周年) Speech Contest. After not placing (获得名次) in the first year of the contest, I really wanted to compete again. Lincoln had many failures, but he never allowed them to defeat his spirit or ambition, so I was not going to give up on a second contest! I reworked my speech for the following year, but again I did not place.
I couldn’t accept the fact that I failed twice in something that I had worked so hard on, until I thought about my hero. Never mind the lost prize money and praise—through learning stories about Lincoln, I discovered that I can fail successfully.
12. How did the author feel after finishing his speech?
A. Angry. B. Nervous. C. Confused. D. Hopeful.
13. What can be inferred from Paragraph 3?
A. He was regretful about his not being fully prepared.
B. He felt so disappointed and didn’t want to try again.
C. He felt upset for getting up early on a freezing morning.
D. He turned out to be the last one of his group in the contest.
14. Which of the following can best describe the author?
A. Brave and determined. B. outgoing and talented.
C. Enthusiastic and easygoing. D. creative and attractive.
15. What does the author want to tell us?
A. Stand up from where we fall.
B. Don’t rely too much on others.
C. Never mind others’ judgments.
D. Learn to value memories in our life.
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. A 15. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者参加演讲比赛失败了,但在林肯的鼓舞下,决定参加第二届比赛,虽然还是没有得到好的名次,但是通过学习关于林肯的故事,作者发现自己可以成功地失败。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“I felt the drum rolled in my heart. (我感到心里在打鼓)”可知,作者结束演讲后感觉紧张。故选B。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“However, it was an indescribable feeling to drive a 200-mile round trip, get up very early on a freezing Saturday morning, and yet still finish fourth out of four competitors in my group. (然而,这是一种难以形容的感觉,开车往返200英里,在一个寒冷的周六早上起得非常早,但仍然在我的小组四名竞争者中获得第四名。)”可推知,结果他是他组的最后一名。故选D。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“I had spent many hours in front of a computer and in libraries doing research for the Lincoln Bicentennial (200周年) Speech Contest. After not placing (获得名次) in the first year of the contest, I really wanted to compete again. Lincoln had many failures, but he never allowed them to defeat his spirit or ambition, so I was not going to give up on a second contest! (我花了很多时间在电脑前和图书馆里为林肯200周年纪念演讲比赛做研究。在比赛的第一年没有获得名次之后,我真的很想再参加一次比赛。林肯失败过很多次,但他从不让失败击垮他的精神和抱负,所以我不打算放弃第二次竞选!)”可知作者虽然演讲比赛失败了,但是仍然继续为演讲做研究,为林肯的精神所鼓舞,决定参加第二届演讲比赛,可推断作者是勇敢而坚定的,故选A。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“I couldn’t accept the fact that I failed twice in something that I had worked so hard on, until I thought about my hero. Never mind the lost prize money and praise—through learning stories about Lincoln, I discovered that I can fail successfully. (我无法接受自己曾经两次失败的事实,直到我想起了我心目中的英雄。虽然失去了奖金和赞扬,但通过学习林肯的故事,我发现我也可以成功地失败。)”结合文章主要讲述了作者参加演讲比赛失败了,但在林肯的鼓舞下,决定参加第二届比赛,虽然还是没有得到好的名次,但是通过学习关于林肯的故事,作者发现自己可以成功地失败。可推断作者想告诉我们要从我们绊倒的地方站起来。故选A。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了一个叫萨凡纳的女孩制作感恩卡片来感恩消防员们的故事。
【36题详解】
考查冠词。句意:萨凡纳是一个来自德克萨斯州的女孩。因为这里是首次提到这个女孩,所以用不定冠词表泛指,又因为girl发音为辅音音素开头,所以用a。故填a。
【37题详解】
考查被动语态。句意:在听到消防员的牺牲后,她被他们所面临的风险所感动,所以萨凡纳为他们制作了200张感谢卡。根据下文的made可知,本句的时态为一般过去时,再根据空格后的by可知,此处表示“被感动”,所以要用一般过去时的被动语态,又因为主语是第三人人称单数,所以be动词用was。故填was moved。
【38题详解】
考查动词不定式。句意:我想表达我对他们的关心。根据空格前的want可知,此处用动词不定式作宾语构成固定搭配want to do sth表示“想要做某事”。故填to show。
【39题详解】
考查动名词。句意:萨凡纳决定继续做卡片。根据空格前的keep可知,此处用动名词作宾语构成固定搭配keep doing sth表示“保持一直做某事”。故填making。
【40题详解】
考查动词的时态。句意:在那段时间里,她在与英雄们见面时发送了1600张卡片和一口大小的糖果。根据上文woke up可知,本句表过去动作,再根据本句时间状语In that time可知,本句为一般过去时。故填 sent。
【41题详解】
考查名词。句意:同上。根据下文的复数名词firemen可知,此处应该用提示词的复数形式heroes指与“英雄们”见面。故填heroes。
【42题详解】
考查代词。句意:萨凡纳曾经因为害羞而不敢在学校发表演讲,现在她很容易就能定期对消防员和学生讲话。分析句式结构可知,此处用代词it作形式主语,真正的主语是后面的动词不定式。故填it。
【43题详解】
考查介词。句意:她和过去大不相同了。根据空格前的different可知,此处用介词from构成固定搭配be different from表示“与……不同”。故填from。
【44题详解】
考查形容词。句意:她说她非常感谢他们!根据空格前的how可知,how+形容词构成感叹句结构,所以此处应该用提示词的形容词形式thankful作表语。故填thankful。
【45题详解】
考查副词。句意:萨凡纳认为,走出去做点什么真的能够有所作为。分析句式结构可知,此处用提示词的副词形式really作状语修饰短语make a difference。故填really。
