I didn’t even like to answer the telephone for fear that I had to talk to somebody I didn’t know. I enjoyed the world of shyness. However, at school I had to spend all day in the company of others. My escape was reading. I spent a lot of time studying and was rewarding with good grades. My only failure was Spanish-I’d get all As on my written work and tests, but Ds and Fs on the spoken part. Eventually I went to college. During my third year of college, I had enough of being shy and decided to change my outlook and behaviour. One day while at school, I noticed an advertisement for positions on the local classical music radio station. I had grown up listening to classical music, and I could easily pronounce names such as Tchaikovsk and Chopin. I had absolutely no background in radio, and absolutely no hope of getting the job. The idea of talking to thousands of listeners in “radio land” frightened me. However, I luckily survived the interview. I was given brief descriptions of symphonic(交响乐)and a public service announcement to read, and a list of composers’ names to pronounce. It wasn’t hard for me. I left the recording sessions(录音片段)with a sense of relief and a sense of accomplishment. About two weeks later I actually landed the job. It was a challenging job, but I grew to enjoy it greatly. I began to feel comfortable talking to people. Although I now spend many hours each week talking with people, I’m still basically a quiet person. Perhaps it is my soft voice and my quiet nature that helps draw people out as they respond to my questions as I interviewed them. My former shyness is a fortune, as I can relate to people who feel uncomfortable when they talk to newspaper reporters. I still enjoy moments of loneliness and the peace found in nature. But I’m also glad I decided to make a change in my life that has opened many door and opportunities that I never dreamt of. 4. What do we learn about the author? A. She liked reading B. She was good at Spanish. C. She wasn’t interested in music. D. She didn’t work hard enough 5. How did the author feel before the interview? A. Very excited. B. Pretty confident. C. Highly confused. D. Extremely anxious. 6. What does the author later think of her quiet personality? A. It makes others feel less comfortable. B. It is helpful for her challenging job. C. It prevents her being a newspaper reporter. D. It draws a negative response from audiences. 7. The text mainly focuses on the author’s______. A. desire to find her true self B. feeling about being a radio hostess C. story of exploring the meaning of life D expericnce and feeling of overcoming shyness 【答案】4. A 5. D 6. B 7. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者从小害羞、不善于表达，由于大学期间面试了一份与人交流的工作，从而性格有所改变，克服了害羞的缺点。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“My escape was reading. I spent a lot of time studying and was rewarding with good grades (我逃避的方式是读书，我花了很多时间学习，取得了好成绩)”可知，作者喜欢读书，故选A项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The idea of talking to thousands of listeners in “radio land” frightened me(在“广播之地”与成千上万的听众交谈的想法吓坏了我)”可知，作者在参加面试之前感到很紧张，故选D项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“My former shyness is a fortune, as I can relate to people who feel uncomfortable when they talk to newspaper reporters.(我以前的害羞是一种幸运，因为我能与那些在与报社记者交谈时感到不舒服的人相处)”可知，作者后来认为自己的性格对她富有挑战性的工作很有帮助，故选B项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“I was a shy girl. I didn’t even like to answer the telephone for fear that I had to talk to somebody I didn’t know.( 我是个害羞的女孩。我甚至不喜欢接电话，因为我害怕不得不和一个我不认识的人说话)”、第二段“During my third year of college, I had enough of being shy and decided to change my outlook and behaviour.( 大学三年级时，我受够了害羞，决定改变自己的观点和行为)”、倒数第二段“I began to feel comfortable talking to people.( 我开始觉得与人交谈很舒服)”以及最后一段“My former shyness is a fortune, as I can relate to people who feel uncomfortable when they talk to newspaper reporters.( 我以前的害羞是一种幸运，因为我能与那些在与报社记者交谈时感到不舒服的人相处)”可推理出本文只要讲的是作者克服害羞的经验与感受，故选D项。 C Forget about “military-style travel” during which people tend to visit as many places as possible in the least amount of time. A more relaxed and leisurely alternative, such as “Citywalk”, is becoming the norm among urban youngsters. Unlike military-style travel Citywalk is about wandering around a city on foot, feeling the atmosphere and finding unusual things that even a resident of the city might not have noticed before. It can be a special event where people start a journey led by tour guides or simply explore the streets. Such walks generally avoid famous scenic spots and shopping centers, and take you to places where you can have real interactions with the local people, eat at small but authentic restaurants, and gain a deeper understanding of the history and culture of the city. Citywalkers have shared their carefully planned routes on social media platforms. Their posts usually include how long the walk is going to take, and interesting places and restaurants along the way. Some posts are more like a food tour. Nan Xi, who recently moved from Beijing to Shanghai, said “I think Shanghai is a city perfect for Citywalk. There are big trees along the streets and shops selling different products, which is ideal for couples and friends to walk together and take photos.” After several Citywalk experiences, she signed up for a two-and-a-half-hour Citywalk priced at 88 yuan per person. A tour guide narrated the history of the buildings and streets along the way. “If it were me walking alone, I would simply find the streets artistic, but the tour that day helped me gain a better understanding of how Western culture blends in with the local culture in Shanghai,” she said. Another surprising benefit of the walk was that she has made friends with two of her fellow walkers. Lin Yi, a manager for an online platform for self-guided tours, said Citywalk can help travelers learn about local culture and live as local people do, feeling the vibes of a city. People who participate in Citywalks usually have similar tastes, and can have in-depth discussions with each other, he said. 8. What is the main difference between military-style travel and Citywalk? A. The transport. B. The cost. C. The purpose. D. The destination. 9. What can we conclude about Citywalk in Shanghai according to Nan Xi? A. It is a perfect place to run shops. B. There are great things to do at weekends. C. Ideal couples and friends often gather there. D. It provides great experiences in many ways. 10. What can be inferred from Nan Xi’s two-and-a-half-hour Citywalk? A. She thought it well worth a try. B. She went on the tour without company. C. She wouldn’t have found the artistic streets by herself. D. She knew how Western culture differed from the local culture in Shanghai. 11. What is the main idea of the article? A. Citywalk is a new trend in urban tourism. B. Citywalk can help travelers make new friends. C. Military-style travel is becoming more popular. D. Travelers choose Citywalk over military style to follow suit. 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. A 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了现在越来越多的人选择城市漫步这种更轻松悠闲的方式来体验城市生活，呈现了这种旅行方式的含义、特点、类型和优势，以及体验者的具体感受。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Forget about “military-style travel” during which people tend to visit as many places as possible in the least amount of time. (忘记“特种兵式旅行”吧，在这种旅行中，人们倾向于在最短的时间内游览尽可能多的地方)”和第二段中“Unlike military-style travel, Citywalk is about wandering around a city on foot, feeling the atmosphere and finding unusual things that even a resident of the city might not have noticed before. (与特种兵式旅行不同，城市漫步是指通过步行在一个城市里漫步，感受那里的氛围，发现一些即使是城市居民以前也可能没有注意到的不寻常的东西)”可知，特种兵式旅行和城市漫步之间的主要区别在于目的不同，前者是为了在最短的时间内游览尽可能多的地方，后者是为了感受城市的氛围，发现细微的不寻常之处。故选C项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中Nan Xi所说的第一段话“I think Shanghai is a city perfect for Citywalk. There are big trees along the streets and shops selling different products, which is ideal for couples and friends to walk together and take photos. (我认为上海是一个非常适合城市漫步的城市。街道两旁有大树，商店出售不同的产品，是情侣和朋友一起散步和拍照的理想场所)”可知，她认为上海非常适合城市漫步，有大树、许多商店，可以散步、拍照。由此可知，于她而言，上海的城市漫步在很多方面提供了很棒的体验。故选D项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中Nan Xi所说的第二段话“If it were me walking alone, I would simply find the streets artistic, but the tour that day helped me gain a better understanding of how Western culture blends in with the local culture in Shanghai (如果是我一个人走，我只会觉得街道很有艺术感，但那天的旅行让我更好地了解了西方文化是如何与上海本土文化融合在一起的)”以及“Another surprising benefit of the walk was that she has made friends with two of her fellow walkers. (另一个令人惊讶的好处是，她和两个同行的人成为了朋友)”可知，通过这次的城市漫步，她更好地理解了西方文化与上海本土文化的融合，还交到了朋友。由此可知，她认为这种漫步值得一试。故选A项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中“A more relaxed and leisurely alternative, such as “Citywalk”, is becoming the norm among urban youngsters. (一种更轻松悠闲的选择，比如“城市漫步”，正成为城市年轻人的常态)”可知，文章围绕城市漫步成为城市旅游的新趋势展开，介绍了这种旅游方式的含义、特点、类型和优势，以及体验者的具体感受。故选A项。 D Exercise lowers the risk of many diseases, but scientists still don’t fully understand how exercise changes the body on a molecular (分子的) level. Most studies have focused on a single organ, sex, or time point, and only include one or two data types. To take a more comprehensive look at the biology of exercise, scientists with the Molecular Transducers of Physical Activity Consortium (MoTrPAC) used a range of techniques in the lab to analyze molecular changes in rats as they were put through the paces of weeks of intense exercise. The team studied a range of tissues from the animals, such as the heart, brain, and lungs. They found that each of the organs they looked at changed with exercise, helping the body to regulate the immune system (免疫系统), respond to stress, and control pathways connected to inflammatory (发炎的) liver disease, heart disease, and tissue injury. The data provide potential clues into many different human health conditions; for example, the researchers found a possible explanation for why the liver becomes less fatty during exercise, which could help in the development of new treatments for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. The team hopes that their findings could one day be used to tailor exercise to an individual’s health status or to develop treatments that mimic the effects of physical activity for people who are unable to exercise. They have already started studies on people to track the molecular effects of exercise. “It took a village of scientists with distinct scientific backgrounds to generate and integrate the massive amount of high-quality data,” said a co-senior author of the study. “This is the first whole-organism map looking at the effects of training in multiple different organs. The resource produced will be enormously valuable, and has already produced many potentially novel biological insights for further exploration.” 12. What is the primary focus of the studies conducted by MoTrPAC? A. The overall molecular changes due to exercise. B. The impact of exercise on immune system only. C. The effects of exercise limited to heart and lungs. D. The molecular effects of exercise on a single organ. 13. What potential application does the research have? A. It makes for developing new sports equipment. B. It can be used to predict the effects of exercise. C. It explains how exercise increases stress levels. D. It can help understand various health conditions. 14. What is the researchers’ current work? A. Tailoring exercise programs based on the molecular data. B. Developing treatment s that mimic the effects of exercise. C. Studying the molecular effects of exercise in human subjects. D. Expanding the study to a broader range of health conditions. 15. What can we infer about the research from the last paragraph? A. It’s commercial. B. It’s a team’s effort. C. It’s insignificant. D. It’s an interesting debate. 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了体育活动分子传感器联盟的科学家通过研究，揭示了运动给身体不同器官带来的变化并探讨了其对健康的潜在益处。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“To take a more comprehensive look at the biology of exercise, scientists with the Molecular Transducers of Physical Activity Consortium (MoTrPAC) used a range of techniques in the lab to analyze molecular changes in rats as they were put through the paces of weeks of intense exercise.(为了更全面地了解运动的生物学作用，体育活动分子传感器联盟的科学家们在实验室里使用了一系列技术来分析老鼠在经历数周高强度运动时的分子变化)”可知，MoTrPAC进行的研究的主要重点是实验鼠在经过几周的高强度运动后分子层面的变化。故选A。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“The data provide potential clues into many different human health conditions; for example, the researchers found a possible explanation for why the liver becomes less fatty during exercise, which could help in the development of new treatments for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.(这些数据为许多不同的人类健康状况提供了潜在线索；例如，研究人员发现了一种可能的解释，可以解释为什么肝脏在运动期间脂肪含量会减少，这可能有助于开发治疗非酒精性脂肪肝的新方法) ”可知，研究数据提供了多种人类健康状况的潜在线索，可以帮助了解各种健康状况。故选D。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段的“They have already started studies on people to track the molecular effects of exercise.(他们已经开始对人体进行研究，以追踪运动的分子效应)”可知，研究团队已经开始对人类进行研究，以追踪运动的分子效应。故选C。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““It took a village of scientists with distinct scientific backgrounds to generate and integrate the massive amount of high-quality data,” said a co-senior author of the study. “This is the first whole-organism map looking at the effects of training in multiple different organs. The resource produced will be enormously valuable, and has already produced many potentially novel biological insights for further exploration.”(该研究的一位资深合作者表示：“这需要一群拥有不同科学背景的科学家来生成和整合大量高质量的数据。”“这是首个观察训练对多个不同器官影响的全生物体图谱。所产生的资源将非常有价值，并且已经产生了许多潜在的新的生物学见解，可供进一步探索。”)”可知，这项研究需要一群来自不同专业领域的科学家来生成和整合大量高质量的数据，因此这项研究是一个团队合作的成果。故选B。 第二节 七选五（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 There are lots of good points of speaking more than one language.

I didn’t even like to answer the telephone for fear that I had to talk to somebody I didn’t know. I enjoyed the world of shyness. However, at school I had to spend all day in the company of others. My escape was reading. I spent a lot of time studying and was rewarding with good grades. My only failure was Spanish-I’d get all As on my written work and tests, but Ds and Fs on the spoken part. Eventually I went to college. During my third year of college, I had enough of being shy and decided to change my outlook and behaviour. One day while at school, I noticed an advertisement for positions on the local classical music radio station. I had grown up listening to classical music, and I could easily pronounce names such as Tchaikovsk and Chopin. I had absolutely no background in radio, and absolutely no hope of getting the job. The idea of talking to thousands of listeners in “radio land” frightened me. However, I luckily survived the interview. I was given brief descriptions of symphonic(交响乐)and a public service announcement to read, and a list of composers’ names to pronounce. It wasn’t hard for me. I left the recording sessions(录音片段)with a sense of relief and a sense of accomplishment. About two weeks later I actually landed the job. It was a challenging job, but I grew to enjoy it greatly. I began to feel comfortable talking to people. Although I now spend many hours each week talking with people, I’m still basically a quiet person. Perhaps it is my soft voice and my quiet nature that helps draw people out as they respond to my questions as I interviewed them. My former shyness is a fortune, as I can relate to people who feel uncomfortable when they talk to newspaper reporters. I still enjoy moments of loneliness and the peace found in nature. But I’m also glad I decided to make a change in my life that has opened many door and opportunities that I never dreamt of. 4. What do we learn about the author? A. She liked reading B. She was good at Spanish. C. She wasn’t interested in music. D. She didn’t work hard enough 5. How did the author feel before the interview? A Very excited. B. Pretty confident. C. Highly confused. D. Extremely anxious. 6. What does the author later think of her quiet personality? A. It makes others feel less comfortable. B. It is helpful for her challenging job. C. It prevents her being a newspaper reporter. D. It draws a negative response from audiences. 7. The text mainly focuses on the author’s______. A. desire to find her true self B. feeling about being a radio hostess C. story of exploring the meaning of life D. expericnce and feeling of overcoming shyness C Forget about “military-style travel” during which people tend to visit as many places as possible in the least amount of time. A more relaxed and leisurely alternative, such as “Citywalk”, is becoming the norm among urban youngsters. Unlike military-style travel, Citywalk is about wandering around a city on foot, feeling the atmosphere and finding unusual things that even a resident of the city might not have noticed before. It can be a special event where people start a journey led by tour guides or simply explore the streets. Such walks generally avoid famous scenic spots and shopping centers, and take you to places where you can have real interactions with the local people, eat at small but authentic restaurants, and gain a deeper understanding of the history and culture of the city. Citywalkers have shared their carefully planned routes on social media platforms. Their posts usually include how long the walk is going to take, and interesting places and restaurants along the way. Some posts are more like a food tour. Nan Xi, who recently moved from Beijing to Shanghai, said “I think Shanghai is a city perfect for Citywalk. There are big trees along the streets and shops selling different products, which is ideal for couples and friends to walk together and take photos.” After several Citywalk experiences, she signed up for a two-and-a-half-hour Citywalk priced at 88 yuan per person. A tour guide narrated the history of the buildings and streets along the way. “If it were me walking alone, I would simply find the streets artistic, but the tour that day helped me gain a better understanding of how Western culture blends in with the local culture in Shanghai,” she said. Another surprising benefit of the walk was that she has made friends with two of her fellow walkers. Lin Yi, a manager for an online platform for self-guided tours, said Citywalk can help travelers learn about local culture and live as local people do, feeling the vibes of a city. People who participate in Citywalks usually have similar tastes, and can have in-depth discussions with each other, he said. 8. What is the main difference between military-style travel and Citywalk? A. The transport. B. The cost. C. The purpose. D. The destination. 9. What can we conclude about Citywalk in Shanghai according to Nan Xi? A It is a perfect place to run shops. B. There are great things to do at weekends. C. Ideal couples and friends often gather there. D. It provides great experiences in many ways. 10. What can be inferred from Nan Xi’s two-and-a-half-hour Citywalk? A. She thought it well worth a try. B. She went on the tour without company. C. She wouldn’t have found the artistic streets by herself. D. She knew how Western culture differed from the local culture in Shanghai. 11. What is the main idea of the article? A Citywalk is a new trend in urban tourism. B. Citywalk can help travelers make new friends. C. Military-style travel is becoming more popular. D. Travelers choose Citywalk over military style to follow suit. D Exercise lowers the risk of many diseases, but scientists still don’t fully understand how exercise changes the body on a molecular (分子的) level. Most studies have focused on a single organ, sex, or time point, and only include one or two data types. To take a more comprehensive look at the biology of exercise, scientists with the Molecular Transducers of Physical Activity Consortium (MoTrPAC) used a range of techniques in the lab to analyze molecular changes in rats as they were put through the paces of weeks of intense exercise. The team studied a range of tissues from the animals, such as the heart, brain, and lungs. They found that each of the organs they looked at changed with exercise, helping the body to regulate the immune system (免疫系统), respond to stress, and control pathways connected to inflammatory (发炎的) liver disease, heart disease, and tissue injury. The data provide potential clues into many different human health conditions; for example, the researchers found a possible explanation for why the liver becomes less fatty during exercise, which could help in the development of new treatments for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. The team hopes that their findings could one day be used to tailor exercise to an individual’s health status or to develop treatments that mimic the effects of physical activity for people who are unable to exercise.
