All grades from beginners to advanced are welcome. The classes are suitable for both men and women, and several women have obtained their black belts. TUESDAY AND THURSDAY 6: 00 p. m. -8: 00 p. m. WEAVER HOUSE GYM FIRST LESSON FREE Hardly any of us have experienced real violence, but, over the last five years, attacks on innocent people have increased. Each of us has some ability to defend ourselves, and by learning a form of self-defence, we are not only increasing that ability, but also doing something to build our own sense of respect. Karate will show you a lot of simple and effective techniques to protect yourself, giving you increased self-confidence. Far too many people think martial arts are about violence. Martial-arts training is based on a lot of respect, self-discipline, self-control and non-violence. We learn basic etiquette, courtesy and tolerance. Good manners and consideration for others are expected at all times. Karate is the practice of blocking and striking techniques for the purpose of self-defence, health and self-development. Karate exercises the entire body. Techniques are practised on both sides of the body; therefore, muscle imbalances do not occur, and the strength, coordination, flexibility and agility of both sides of the body are improved. Regular training in karate improves the body’s physical endurance and flexibility. It also helps concentration and produces the mental calm and assurance that come from knowing we can defend ourselves. Karate has many benefits but they do not come easily or overnight. Training requires ongoing commitment and hard work. Some of you will give up, but a few of you will get your black belts. 41. The passage is mainly intended to _______ . A. attract readers to join the club B. tell readers the benefits of karate C. encourage people to get their black belts D. correct people’s misunderstanding of karate 42. What can be learned about University Shotokan Karate Club? A. It offers 4 hours of lessons every week. B. Members don’t need to pay for the lessons. C. It tests members to see what level they are at. D. More men than women have been its members. 43. According to the passage, which of the following statements about karate is true? A. It focuses as much on self-defence as on attack. B. It makes people healthy physically instead of mentally. C. It involves people’s arm muscles more than thigh muscles. D. It cultivates people’s respect for themselves as well as for others. B篇 Sometimes a book comes along that isn’t just “interesting” or “well done”— it’s a book where it seems like the author looked into your brain and wrote a book specifically for you. A book like that for me was released this week. It’s called 100 Things We’ve Lost to the Internet, written by editor Pamela Paul. Paul lists 100 things we used to do that the Internet has either changed or taken over completely: writing letters, print newspapers, the joys of being bored, and not having all the knowledge in the world in your pocket. As I’m a longtime accumulator of random knowledge, certain entries on the list—Being the Only One, Figuring Out Who That Actor is—hit me where live; remembering detailed facts is no longer nearly as impressive when everyone has the capability to find the answer in seconds. On and on the list goes, with every minor shift adding to the pile. What this book does so well is illustrate the growth of that pile; while any individual item might be no big deal, the collected set is significant. It’s a list of ways in which the world now is different from the world then. Obviously, Paul isn’t saying that everything back then was better. Time marches on, after all. and it’s tough to argue against the many benefits that the Internet has brought into our lives. But that isn’t really the point. It’s not about whether it used to be better. It’s that it used to be different. 100 Things We’ve Lost to the Internet is a fun read for those of us who share some of Paul’s memories and experiences. We remember what it was like and we like to remember. The landscape has shifted, and no doubt it will shift again as technology’s advancement continues apace. This book serves as a reminder of the simple truth that when gains are made, sometimes something is lost. 44. What is the purpose of the text? A. To review and recommend a good read. B. To comment on the effect of the Internet. C. To argue for the viewpoint of a new book. D. To urge the readers to value what they have. 45. Which might be entries on Paul’s list? A. Maps and Eye Contact. B E-pay and Compact Disks. C. Postcards and Homeschooling D. Bad Photos and Washing Machines. 46. What does the underlined phrase “hit me where l live” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Prove what I’m good at. B. Introduce how I grew up. C. Describe the place I live in. D. Speak out what is on my mind. 47. What conclusion has the author drawn after reading Paul’s book? A. Things in the past are better. B. There’re no gains without pains. C. The internet is a double-edged sword. D. Technology is constantly changing the world. C篇 Putonghua is the official language on the mainland, but if history had played out differently, most of the people could have been speaking Cantonese. In 1912, shortly after the end of the Qing dynasty, the founding fathers of the republic met to decide which language should be spoken in the new China. Mandarin - now known as Putonghua - was just a northern dialect spoken by the hated Manchurian officials at that time. While it had served as China’s lingua franca(混合语) for centuries, many saw it as an “impure form” of Chinese. Many of the leaders, including Sun Yat-sen, were from Guangdong - where people are open to new ideas. A great debate started and eventually led to a formal vote. Cantonese lost out by a small margin to Putonghua and the rest is history. While historians today still argue about whether this story is real, it is something Guangdong people love to tell. Many Cantonese speakers feel proud of their native language, saying it has more in common with the classical Chinese than Putonghua - which is a mix of northern dialects heavily influenced by Manchurian and Mongolian. Linguists agree to some degree. “Cantonese is closer to classical Chinese in its pronunciation and some grammar,” Jiang Wenxian, a Chinese language scholar, said. “Using Cantonese to read classical poetry is a real pleasure,” he said. “Many ancient poems don’t rhyme(押韵) when you read them in Putonghua, but they do in Cantonese.” “Cantonese keeps a flavor of ancient Chinese. Nowadays few people understand classical Chinese, so Cantonese should be protected as a type of language fossil helping us study ancient Chinese culture.” Cantonese is spoken by about 70 million people in Guangdong, Hong Kong, Macau and communities abroad. In the 17th and 18th centuries, Guangdong was the only Chinese province allowed to trade directly with foreigners. Many Westerners at the time learned Cantonese. Up till very recently, there were more Cantonese speakers in overseas Chinese communities than Putonghua speakers. In Canada, for example, Cantonese is the third most commonly spoken language after English and French. 48. What’s the function of the first paragraph? A. To introduce the topic. B. To attraction people’s attention. C. To summarize the whole passage. D. To show the importance of Putonghua. 49. What can we learn from the fourth paragraph? A. Most of the leaders are in favor of Putonghua. B. Most of the leaders came from Guangdong at that time. C. Guangdong people are more likely to accept new ideas. D. Sun Yat-sen suggested having a debate to decide on the new language. 50. Why Cantonese should be protected as a type of language fossil? A. Because it’s as important as Putonghua. B. Because it is an ancient language with a long history. C. Because nowadays few people can understand Cantonese. D. Because it is very helpful when studying Chinese culture. 51. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. New language, New China. B. How Putonghua defeated Cantonese C. The development of an official language D. Cantonese almost became the official language D篇 My 16-year-old niece Jenny started using Facebook about half a year ago. At first she loved using it very much because she could make so many new friends on it. However, as time went by, she used it less and less. You may wonder why. Well, it’s because every time she used it, she became sad. It seemed to her that everyone using Facebook was living a perfect life except her. I don’t think Jenny is alone. In this day of social media, the whole “comparing thing” has gotten out of control. We are influenced daily by all kinds of things on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram where we see only the happy parts of life. You see friends’ baby pictures, beautiful houses and “perfect” lives and you feel like we need to be farther along than where you are. You see pictures of your coworker’s “best vacation ever” and then you compare your life to theirs. But what you see is just a special second of their lives. Social media only gives us a look at them for a very short time. It can be lying and we never truly know the whole story. We are so good at showing others on social media that everything is “fine”, and we can never correctly judge what they post on social media. Remember that someone who looks very well does not mean that they are not dealing with something bigger under the surface. You can never compare your inside with someone else’s outside. So next time you find someone showing off something on social media, cease feeling sad about yourself. 52. By saying “I don’t think Jenny is alone”, the writer means that ________ . A. Jenny has many friends on the Facebook B. not just Jenny doesn’t live a perfect life C. many people feel the same about using Facebook D. more and more people are using Facebook recently 53. What is implied about people who use social media in paragraph 2? A. They are usually very happy about their lives. B. They often travel in order to take good pictures. C. They like posting things that they haven’t really done. D. They like posting pictures to show their “perfect” life. 54. What does the underlined word “cease” in the last paragraph mean? A. stop B. begin C. change D. keep 55. The passage is most probably written to tell us to stop _______. A. feeling sad about ourselves B. showing off on social media C. comparing ourselves with others D. using Facebook as soon as possible 四. 用方框内所给词组的正确形式完成下面的句子。 用方框内所给词组的正确形式完成下面的句子。 make one’s fortune, be up to, turn up, work out, lose track of, feel down, be known for, turn around, be ashamed of, supple for, settle for, be praised for, pick up, leave…behind, now and then, be in trouble, remind…of, look back, in particular, go all out, take part in, deal with, around the corner 56.

All grades from beginners to advanced are welcome. The classes are suitable for both men and women, and several women have obtained their black belts. TUESDAY AND THURSDAY 6: 00 p. m. -8: 00 p. m. WEAVER HOUSE GYM FIRST LESSON FREE Hardly any of us have experienced real violence, but, over the last five years, attacks on innocent people have increased. Each of us has some ability to defend ourselves, and by learning a form of self-defence, we are not only increasing that ability, but also doing something to build our own sense of respect. Karate will show you a lot of simple and effective techniques to protect yourself, giving you increased self-confidence. Far too many people think martial arts are about violence. Martial-arts training is based on a lot of respect, self-discipline, self-control and non-violence. We learn basic etiquette, courtesy and tolerance. Good manners and consideration for others are expected at all times. Karate is the practice of blocking and striking techniques for the purpose of self-defence, health and self-development. Karate exercises the entire body. Techniques are practised on both sides of the body; therefore, muscle imbalances do not occur, and the strength, coordination, flexibility and agility of both sides of the body are improved. Regular training in karate improves the body’s physical endurance and flexibility. It also helps concentration and produces the mental calm and assurance that come from knowing we can defend ourselves. Karate has many benefits but they do not come easily or overnight. Training requires ongoing commitment and hard work. Some of you will give up, but a few of you will get your black belts. 41. The passage is mainly intended to _______ . A. attract readers to join the club B. tell readers the benefits of karate C. encourage people to get their black belts D. correct people’s misunderstanding of karate 42. What can be learned about University Shotokan Karate Club? A. It offers 4 hours of lessons every week. B. Members don’t need to pay for the lessons. C. It tests members to see what level they are at.

It makes people healthy physically instead of mentally. C. It involves people’s arm muscles more than thigh muscles. D. It cultivates people’s respect for themselves as well as for others. 【答案】41.

A book like that for me was released this week. It’s called 100 Things We’ve Lost to the Internet, written by editor Pamela Paul. Paul lists 100 things we used to do that the Internet has either changed or taken over completely: writing letters, print newspapers, the joys of being bored, and not having all the knowledge in the world in your pocket. As I’m a longtime accumulator of random knowledge, certain entries on the list—Being the Only One, Figuring Out Who That Actor is—hit me where live; remembering detailed facts is no longer nearly as impressive when everyone has the capability to find the answer in seconds. On and on the list goes, with every minor shift adding to the pile. What this book does so well is illustrate the growth of that pile; while any individual item might be no big deal, the collected set is significant. It’s a list of ways in which the world now is different from the world then. Obviously, Paul isn’t saying that everything back then was better. Time marches on, after all. and it’s tough to argue against the many benefits that the Internet has brought into our lives. But that isn’t really the point. It’s not about whether it used to be better. It’s that it used to be different. 100 Things We’ve Lost to the Internet is a fun read for those of us who share some of Paul’s memories and experiences. We remember what it was like and we like to remember. The landscape has shifted, and no doubt it will shift again as technology’s advancement continues apace. This book serves as a reminder of the simple truth that when gains are made, sometimes something is lost. 44. What is the purpose of the text? A. To review and recommend a good read. B. To comment on the effect of the Internet. C. To argue for the viewpoint of a new book. D. To urge the readers to value what they have. 45. Which might be entries on Paul’s list? A. Maps and Eye Contact. B. E-pay and Compact Disks. C. Postcards and Homeschooling D. Bad Photos and Washing Machines. 46. What does the underlined phrase “hit me where l live” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Prove what I’m good at. B. Introduce how I grew up. C. Describe the place I live in. D. Speak out what is on my mind. 47 What conclusion has the author drawn after reading Paul’s book? A. Things in the past are better. B. There’re no gains without pains. C. The internet is a double-edged sword. D. Technology is constantly changing the world. 【答案】44. A 45. A 46. D 47. D 【解析】 【导语】本篇是一篇说明文，介绍一本名叫 100 Things We’ve Lost to the Internet 的书。 【44题详解】 推断判断题。根据题目找主旨定位到文章第一段中“A book like that for me was released this week. It’s called 100 Things We’ve Lost to the Internet, written by editor Pamela Paul(这周出版了一本类似的书。这是编辑帕梅拉·保罗所著的《我们被网络遗忘的100件事》)”可知本书由Pamela Paul 所写，名叫 100 Things We’ve Lost to the Internet 的书，后续的文段都在介绍此书，可知文章的目的是回顾并推荐一本好书。故选A。 【45题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Paul lists 100 things we used to do that the Internet has either changed or taken over completely: writing letters, print newspapers, the joys of being bored, and hot having all the knowledge in the world in your pocket.(保罗列出了100件我们曾经做过的事情，这些事情不是被互联网改变了就是被互联网完全接管了：写信、印刷报纸、享受无聊的乐趣，以及把世界上所有的知识都装进你的口袋)”可知，地图和眼神交流被互联网改变了，会出现在他的清单上。故选A。 【46题详解】 词义猜测题。根据文章第三段“remembering detailed facts is no longer nearly as impressive when everyone has the capability to find the answer in seconds.(当每个人都能在几秒钟内找到答案时，记住详细的事实就不再那么令人印象深刻了)”可知作为一个长时间收集各种随机知识的人，清单上的一些内容打动了我，说出了我心中所想。故选D。 【47题详解】 推断判断题。根 据 最 后 一 段 “The landscape has shifted, and no doubt it will shift again as technology's advancement continues apace.(情况已经发生了变化，毫无疑问，随着技术的快速发展，这种变化还会再次发生。）可知，作者得出的结论是科技不断地改变着世界。故选D。 C篇 Putonghua is the official language on the mainland, but if history had played out differently, most of the people could have been speaking Cantonese. In 1912, shortly after the end of the Qing dynasty, the founding fathers of the republic met to decide which language should be spoken in the new China. Mandarin - now known as Putonghua - was just a northern dialect spoken by the hated Manchurian officials at that time. While it had served as China’s lingua franca(混合语) for centuries, many saw it as an “impure form” of Chinese. Many of the leaders including Sun Yat-sen, were from Guangdong - where people are open to new ideas. A great debate started and eventually led to a formal vote. Cantonese lost out by a small margin to Putonghua and the rest is history. While historians today still argue about whether this story is real, it is something Guangdong people love to tell. Many Cantonese speakers feel proud of their native language, saying it has more in common with the classical Chinese than Putonghua - which is a mix of northern dialects heavily influenced by Manchurian and Mongolian. Linguists agree to some degree. “Cantonese is closer to classical Chinese in its pronunciation and some grammar,” Jiang Wenxian, a Chinese language scholar, said. “Using Cantonese to read classical poetry is a real pleasure,” he said. “Many ancient poems don’t rhyme(押韵) when you read them in Putonghua, but they do in Cantonese.” “Cantonese keeps a flavor of ancient Chinese. Nowadays few people understand classical Chinese, so Cantonese should be protected as a type of language fossil helping us study ancient Chinese culture.” Cantonese is spoken by about 70 million people in Guangdong, Hong Kong, Macau and communities abroad. In the 17th and 18th centuries, Guangdong was the only Chinese province allowed to trade directly with foreigners. Many Westerners at the time learned Cantonese. Up till very recently, there were more Cantonese speakers in overseas Chinese communities than Putonghua speakers. In Canada, for example, Cantonese is the third most commonly spoken language after English and French. 48. What’s the function of the first paragraph? A. To introduce the topic. B. To attraction people’s attention. C. To summarize the whole passage. D. To show the importance of Putonghua. 49. What can we learn from the fourth paragraph? A. Most of the leaders are in favor of Putonghua. B. Most of the leaders came from Guangdong at that time. C. Guangdong people are more likely to accept new ideas. D. Sun Yat-sen suggested having a debate to decide on the new language. 50. Why Cantonese should be protected as a type of language fossil? A. Because it’s as important as Putonghua. B. Because it is an ancient language with a long history. C. Because nowadays few people can understand Cantonese. D. Because it is very helpful when studying Chinese culture. 51. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. New language, New China. B. How Putonghua defeated Cantonese C. The development of an official language D. Cantonese almost became the official language 【答案】48. A 49. C 50. D 51. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如果历史发生变化，广东话可能会取代现在的普通话成为中国的官方语。 【48题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Putonghua is the official language on the mainland, but if history had played out differently, most of the people could have been speaking Cantonese.(普通话是大陆的官方语言，但如果历史发生了变化，大多数人可能会说广东话。)”可知，文章第一段主要引出文章主题，即广东话差点成为中国的官方语。故选A。 【49题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Many of the leaders, including Sun Yat-sen, were from Guangdong - where people are open to new ideas.(包括孙中山在内的许多领导人都来自广东，那里的人们对新思想持开放态度。)”可知，广东人更容易接受新思想。故选C。 【50题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段““Cantonese keeps a flavor of ancient Chinese. Nowadays few people understand classical Chinese, so Cantonese should be protected as a type of language fossil helping us study ancient Chinese culture.” Cantonese is spoken by about 70 million people in Guangdong, Hong Kong, Macau and communities abroad.(“广东话保留了古代汉语的味道。现在很少有人懂文言文，所以广东话应该作为一种语言化石来保护，帮助我们研究中国古代文化。”广东、香港、澳门和海外社区约有7000万人使用广东话。)”可知，广东话保留了古代汉语的味道，而现在很少有人懂文言文，因此将广东话应该作为一种语言化石来保护可以帮助我们研究中国古代文化。故选D。 【51题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Putonghua is the official language on the mainland, but if history had played out differently, most of the people could have been speaking Cantonese.(普通话是大陆的官方语言，但如果历史发生了变化，大多数人可能会说广东话。)”以及全文内容可知，文章主要讲述了广东话差点取代普通话成为中国的官方语言，以及广东话的特点和广泛使用。故选D。 D篇 My 16-year-old niece Jenny started using Facebook about half a year ago. At first she loved using it very much because she could make so many new friends on it. However, as time went by, she used it less and less. You may wonder why. Well, it’s because every time she used it, she became sad. It seemed to her that everyone using Facebook was living a perfect life except her. I don’t think Jenny is alone. In this day of social media, the whole “comparing thing” has gotten out of control. We are influenced daily by all kinds of things on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram where we see only the happy parts of life. You see friends’ baby pictures, beautiful houses and “perfect” lives and you feel like we need to be farther along than where you are. You see pictures of your coworker’s “best vacation ever” and then you compare your life to theirs. But what you see is just a special second of their lives. Social media only gives us a look at them for a very short time. It can be lying and we never truly know the whole story. We are so good at showing others on social media that everything is “fine”, and we can never correctly judge what they post on social media. Remember that someone who looks very well does not mean that they are not dealing with something bigger under the surface. You can never compare your inside with someone else’s outside. So next time you find someone showing off something on social media, cease feeling sad about yourself. 52. By saying “I don’t think Jenny is alone”, the writer means that ________ . A. Jenny has many friends on the Facebook B. not just Jenny doesn’t live a perfect life C. many people feel the same about using Facebook D. more and more people are using Facebook recently 53. What is implied about people who use social media in paragraph 2? A. They are usually very happy about their lives. B. They often travel in order to take good pictures. C. They like posting things that they haven’t really done. D. They like posting pictures to show their “perfect” life. 54. What does the underlined word “cease” in the last paragraph mean? A. stop B. begin C. change D. keep 55. The passage is most probably written to tell us to stop _______. A. feeling sad about ourselves B. showing off on social media C. comparing ourselves with others D. using Facebook as soon as possible 【答案】52. C 53. D 54. A 55. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了，人们发布在社交媒体上的东西不一定代表着发布者的真实生活，所以我们不应该拿我们的生活跟他们发布的生活进行比较而自寻烦恼。 【52题详解】 词句猜测题。由第一段中“Well, it’s because every time she used it, she became sad. It seemed to her that everyone using Facebook was living a perfect life except her. I don’t think Jenny is alone. (这是因为她每次使用它都会变得悲伤。在她看来，除了她，每个使用Facebook的人都过着完美的生活。我不认为珍妮是一个人)”和第二段中“In this day of social media, the whole “comparing thing” has gotten out of control. We are influenced daily by all kinds of things on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram where we see only the happy parts of life. (在这个社交媒体时代，整个“比较的事情”已经失控了。我们每天都会受到脸书、推特和Instagram上各种各样的事情的影响，在那里我们只能看到生活中快乐的部分)”可知，在这个社交媒体时代，我们只能看到别人生活中快乐的部分，除了自己，每个使用Facebook的人都过着完美的生活，可得出很多人都有Jenny这样的感受，作者说“I don’t think Jenny is alone”的意思是“许多人对使用Facebook也有同感”。故选C项。 【53题详解】 推理判断题。由第二段中“We are influenced daily by all kinds of things on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram where we see only the happy parts of life. You see friends’ baby pictures, beautiful houses and “perfect” lives and you feel like we need to be farther along than where you are. You see pictures of your coworker’s “best vacation ever” and then you compare your life to theirs. (我们每天都会受到脸书、推特和Instagram上各种各样的事情的影响，在那里我们只能看到生活中快乐的部分。你看到朋友的婴儿照片、美丽的房子和“完美”的生活，你会觉得我们需要比你所在的地方走得更远。你看到同事“有史以来最好的假期”的照片，然后你将自己的生活与他们的生活进行比较)”可知，在这个社交媒体时代，我们只能看到生活中快乐的部分，人们喜欢张贴照片来展示他们“完美”的生活。故选D项。 【54题详解】 词句猜测题。由最后一段“You can never compare your inside with someone else’s outside. So next time you find someone showing off something on social media, cease feeling sad about yourself. (你永远无法将自己的内在与他人的外在进行比较。所以，下次你发现有人在社交媒体上炫耀时，cease为自己感到难过)”可知，自己的内在与他人的外在无法进行比较，所以看到别人炫耀，不必感到难过，即作者建议我们“停止”为自己感到难过，cease意为“停止（stop）”。故选A项。 【55题详解】 推理判断题。由第三段中“Social media only gives us a look at them for a very short time. It can be lying and we never truly know the whole story. (社交媒体只让我们在很短的时间内看到它们。这可能是在撒谎，我们永远不会真正了解整个故事)”，倒数第二段中“Remember that someone who looks very well does not mean that they are not dealing with something bigger under the surface. (记住，一个看起来很好的人并不意味着他们没有处理表面下更大的事情)”和最后一段“You can never compare your inside with someone else’s outside. So next time you find someone showing off something on social media, cease feeling sad about yourself. (你永远无法将自己的内在与他人的外在进行比较。所以，下次你发现有人在社交媒体上炫耀时，不要再为自己感到难过了)”可知，作者主要想表明人们发布在社交媒体上的完美生活并不一定完美，我们不需要跟他们进行比较。故选C项。 四. 用方框内所给词组的正确形式完成下面的句子。 用方框内所给词组的正确形式完成下面的句子。 make one’s fortune, be up to, turn up, work out, lose track of, feel down, be known for, turn around, be ashamed of, supple for, settle for, be praised for, pick up, leave…behind, now and then, be in trouble, remind…of, look back, in particular, go all out, take part in, deal with, around the corner 56.
