He had a speaking disability right from his childhood. This gave him a tough time in his childhood and at the start of his career. He was constantly bullied and laughed at because of his look and his speaking disability. This made him very shy and quiet. He didn’t have a lot of friends and the several rejections left him feeling lonely. Rowan was very much interested in science. And he decided to pursue a career in this field. After he completed his Master’s degree, he realized acting was something he really wanted to pursue. He auditioned for several TV shows but faced back-to-back rejections, because he didn’t have a good face and grand body in addition to his stammering problem as well. Rowan kept his passion alive and worked hard towards reaching his dreams. He aimed at making people laugh and with persistent efforts over the years he has successfully established this. After the several rejections he started creating original comedy sketches. Interestingly he realized that whenever he played some characters, he spoke fluently. He used it as inspiration for his acting. This is exactly where Rowan’s life changed. Rowan continued pursuing his dreams, despite all the hardships and rejections he had faced because of his looks and disorder. He had a major breakthrough when he started his own show Mr. Bean. Mr. Bean was “strange, surreal and non-speaking character”. He proved that even without a Hollywood face or a heroic body, you can become one of the most loved and respected actors in the world. Life always rewards those who are ready to keep moving forward. He teaches us that for success all you really need is hard work. Never let your fears and disabilities stop your life.

Now, researchers have suggested an alternative: labelling the amount and type of exercise needed to burn off the calories. Current food and drink labels display nutritional information such as the amount of calories and fat. However, researchers led by Prof. Amanda Daley at Loughborough University say that these labels are having a limited effect on changing buying habits. Instead, they propose a labelling system called ‘physical activity calorie equivalent or expenditure’ (PACE) (体育活动热量当量), which shows how many minutes or miles of physical activity are needed to burn off the calories. For example, a small bar of milk chocolate contains 230 calories, which would take about 42 minutes of walking, or 22 minutes of running, to burn off. They pooled the data from 14 previous studies which compared the impact of PACE labelling with that of other types of food labelling, or with no food labelling at all. They calculated that PACE labelling could cut a person’s daily calorie intake by up to 200 calories. “Public health agencies may want to consider the possibility of including policies to promote PACE food labelling as a strategy that contributes to the prevention and treatment of obesity (肥胖) and related diseases,” said the researchers. The UK’s Royal Society for Public Health has already called for PACE labelling to replace the current system. However, not everyone is convinced. A spokesperson for the eating disorder charity Beat said: “We believe that anti-obesity campaigns that focus on weight instead of health are ineffective and that recommending more exercise is an ineffective and over-simplistic approach to a complex problem. Most urgently, public health campaigns must consider people’s mental as well as their physical health, moving from obesity-shaming to evidence-based campaigns that build confidence and support healthy eating.” 8. What additional information can you get from PACE labels compared with the current ones? A. Exercise advice B. Fat content C. Nutrition facts D. Calorie content 9. What does the underlined word “pool” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. collected B. distributed C. deleted D. proved 10. What can we know form Beat’s comments? A. Obesity is a physical problem and can be solved by increasing exercise. B. Obesity is related to eating habits and can be tackled by cutting calories. C. Obesity is no simple problem but can be settled by focusing on weight. D. Obesity is complicated and should be tackled physically and mentally. 11. What’s the best title for the text? A. PACE: A new labelling option B. Nutrition: A basic step towards health C. Labelling: A smart advisor for shopping D. Excise: An effective treatment for obesity 【答案】8. A 9. A 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。本文主要阐述了传统的食品营养标签对肥胖者的指导作用有限，研究人员提出了PACE（体育活动热量当量）标签系统，这种标签系统能显示燃烧卡路里需要多少分钟或几英里的体力活动。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Instead, they propose a labelling system called ‘physical activity calorie equivalent or expenditure’ (PACE) (体育活动热量当量), which shows how many minutes or miles of physical activity are needed to burn off the calories.(相反，他们提出了一个名为“体育活动热量当量”的标签系统，此标签系统能显示燃烧卡路里需要多少分钟或几英里的体力活动)”可知，PACE标签系统，能从体力活动锻炼角度对食品设定营养标签。因此，与当前的标签相比，可以从PACE标签中获得锻炼建议。故选A项。 【9题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第二段该句中从句部分“which compared the impact of PACE labelling with that of other types of food labelling, or with no food labelling at all.(这些研究比较了PACE标签与其他类型食品标签的影响，或者根本没有食品标签的影响)”可推知，划线词所在句which前的句意为“他们收集了之前14项研究的数据”，即划线词“pooled”意为“收集”。因此，第3段中带下划线的单词“pool”的意思可能是A项“collected(收集)”符合题意。故选A项。 10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“A spokesperson for the eating disorder charity Beat said: “We believe that anti-obesity campaigns that focus on weight instead of health are ineffective and that recommending more exercise is an ineffective and over-simplistic approach to a complex problem. Most urgently, public health campaigns must consider people’s mental as well as their physical health, moving from obesity-shaming to evidence-based campaigns that build confidence and support healthy eating.”(饮食失调慈善机构一位发言人Beat说：“我们认为，以体重而不是健康为重点的反肥胖运动是无效的，建议更多的锻炼是一种无效的、过于简单化的解决复杂问题的方法。最紧迫的是，公共卫生运动必须考虑人们的心理和身体健康，从肥胖羞辱转向建立信心和支持健康饮食的循证运动。”)”可知，饮食失调慈善机构一位发言人Beat认为，单纯做更多的锻炼来减肥是无效的，应该从心理和身体健康两个方面入手来解决。因此，从Beat的评论中我们能了解到D项“Obesity is complicated and should be tackled physically and mentally.(肥胖是复杂的，应该从身体和精神上加以解决) ”符合题意，故选D项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“Confused by food nutrition labels? You’re not alone. Now, researchers have suggested an alternative: labelling the amount and type of exercise needed to burn off the calories(被食品营养标签搞糊涂了？你不是一个人。现在，研究人员提出了另一种选择：标明燃烧卡路里所需的运动量和类型)”以及第二段“Instead, they propose a labelling system called ‘physical activity calorie equivalent or expenditure’ (PACE) (体育活动热量当量), which shows how many minutes or miles of physical activity are needed to burn off the calories.(相反，他们提出了一个名为“体育活动热量当量” 的标签系统，显示燃烧卡路里需要多少分钟或几英里的体力活动。)”可知，本文主要阐述了传统的食品营养标签对肥胖者的指导作用有限，研究人员提出了名为“体育活动热量当量” 的标签系统，此标签系统能显示燃烧卡路里需要多少分钟或几英里的体力活动。因此，这篇文章最好的标题是A 项“PACE: A new labelling option(PACE:一种新的标签选择) ”符合题意。故选A项。 D A team in Norway recently conducted in-depth research on writing by hand and typing on a keyboard. The team invited 36 university students who had to either write or type words displayed on a screen. The study participants used a digital pen to write in cursive (草书) on a touchscreen, and they used one finger on a keyboard to type. The researchers used a special cap with 256 sensors. This cap was worn by the students, and their brain activity was recorded for five seconds each time they were asked to write or type. “We show that when writing by hand, brain connectivity patterns are far more complex than when typewriting on a keyboard,” says Professor Audrey van der Meer, the team leader. “Such widespread brain connectivity is known to be important for memory formation and for encoding (编码) new information and, therefore, is beneficial for learning.” The researchers also note that even though the participants used digital pens for writing in the study, they believe the findings would be similar if the participants used an ink pen and paper. “We’ve shown that the differences in brain activity are related to the careful forming of the letters when writing by hand while making more use of the senses. Since it’s the movement of the fingers carried out when forming letters that promotes brain connectivity, writing in print also has similar benefits for learning as cursive writing,” Audrey adds. “This also explains why children who have learned to write and read on a tablet can have difficulty distinguishing between letters that are mirror images of each other, such as ‘b’ and ‘d’. They haven’t felt with their bodies what it feels like to produce those letters.” Considering handwritten note-taking is becoming less common in educational settings, the researchers advocate for more opportunities for students to write by hand. “There’s some evidence that students learn more and remember better when taking handwritten lecture notes, while using a computer with a keyboard may be more pragmatic when writing a long text or essay,” Audrey concludes. 12. What was the special cap used to do? A. Measure the participants’ brain activity. B. Evaluate the participants’ writing styles. C. Tell the participants when to write or type. D. Record the time the participants used to write. 13. What does paragraph 3 focus on about the study? A. Its backgrounds. B. Its equipment. C. Its outcomes. D. Its process. 14. What plays the key role in strengthening brain connectivity? A. Writing letters carefully by hand. B. Forming the habit of taking notes. C. Recognizing letters’ mirror images. D. Learning to practice cursive writing. 15. What is Audrey’s attitude towards handwritten note-taking? A. Critical B. Tolerant C. Ambiguous D. Approving 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项关于手写和用键盘打字的研究，研究发现大脑的连接模式比用键盘打字时要复杂得多。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“This cap was worn by the students, and their brain activity was recorded for five seconds each time they were asked to write or type.(学生们戴上这顶帽子，每次被要求书写或打字时，他们的大脑活动都会被记录5秒钟)”可知，这个特殊的帽子用来测量参与者的大脑活动。故选A。 【13题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段““We’ve shown that the differences in brain activity are related to the careful forming of the letters when writing by hand while making more use of the senses. Since it’s the movement of the fingers carried out when forming letters that promotes brain connectivity, writing in print also has similar benefits for learning as cursive writing,” Audrey adds. “This also explains why children who have learned to write and read on a tablet can have difficulty distinguishing between letters that are mirror images of each other, such as ‘b’ and ‘d’. They haven’t felt with their bodies what it feels like to produce those letters.”(“我们已经证明，大脑活动的差异与手写时仔细排列字母有关，同时更多地利用感官。奥黛丽补充说：“由于形成字母时手指的运动促进了大脑的连接，因此印刷体书写对学习也有类似的好处。”“这也解释了为什么学会在平板电脑上写字和读书的孩子很难区分互为镜像的字母，比如‘b’和‘d’。”他们还没有用自己的身体感受过写出这些字母的感觉。”)”可知，第三段的重点是研究结果。故选C。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Since it’s the movement of the fingers carried out when forming letters that promotes brain connectivity, writing in print also has similar benefits for learning as cursive writing(由于形成字母时手指的运动促进了大脑的连接，因此印刷体书写对学习也有类似的好处)”可知，用手认真地写信在加强大脑连通性方面起着关键作用。故选A。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““There’s some evidence that students learn more and remember better when taking handwritten lecture notes, while using a computer with a keyboard may be more pragmatic when writing a long text or essay,” Audrey concludes.(奥黛丽总结道：“有证据表明，学生在手写课堂笔记时学得更多，记忆也更好，而在写长篇文章或论文时，使用带键盘的电脑可能更实用。”)”可知，奥黛丽对手写笔记是支持态度。故选D。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。 How to Stop Laughing at Inappropriate Times Although laughing at inappropriate times can be embarrassing, it’s actually a natural reaction for some people when they’re facing a highly stressful situation.

This small goal will shift your focus from laughter and your emotions. ___18___ What can you do instead of laughing nervously? For example, nod, lick your lips, exhale slowly, or click a pen. What you decide to replace your laughter with depends on the circumstances that are causing your laughter. For example, you may laugh nervously during work meetings. ___19___ If you tend to laugh at serious moments, take a deep breath at moments when you’d typically laugh. Identify what makes you laugh inappropriately. Do you laugh out of nervousness, or do you laugh to cope with painful feelings? Maybe you laugh because you have a lot of energy or have trouble finding the words you want to say. Whatever your reasons for laughing, write down when your laughter is causing you issues.

Besides, he was known as a trouble-maker in school. So when the head teacher Mr. Smith asked Del to come to his office, I naturally thought that Del had done something mean to someone. Through the window, I caught sight of a smaller boy crying. Del seemed unhappy, too. He did not return to class that day. All of us were discussing what had happened to him. What else could such an annoying boy do? “He must have hit the boy and was sent home,” I whispered to my friends. Their eyes widened. It felt good to see them so interested in what I said. The next morning, the whole school was talking about Del being expelled(开除) for beating up a kid. I was surprised that my assumptions were passed on so quickly. So when Del walked into the classroom, all the kids were shocked. The kids next to him shift ed their desks away. “What’s your problem?” Del asked. “I don’t want you to attack me,” one kid said. Some laughed. “Yeah, I might,” said Del. I could tell he was joking, but many kids thought he admitted he did beat up someone. During recess(课间休息), Del tried to join the kickball game. “Neither team wants you,” one of the players said. “Why?” Del asked, looking confused. “I always play with you guys.” They ignored him and went on playing. Del sat by himself while the rest of the school enjoyed their recess away from him. Del looked lonely and sad, much different from before. I started to feel sorry for him. Later that day, I learned what really happened. The kid was Del’s little brother and he was crying because their mother fell ill and was sent to hospital. I felt even sorrier for what I said before. I started a rumor(谣言). 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右;2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 At recess the next day, I saw Del sitting alone watching the kickball game. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Now that Del had forgiven me, I decided to do more before the recess was over. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】At recess the next day, I saw Del sitting alone watching the kickball game. Not wanting him to feel left out, I walked over and sat down beside him. “Hey Germy,” he said. “My name is Jamie.” I replied. I wanted to apologize for starting that rumor about him, but I was too ashamed to say it out loudly. “Del, do you want to play kickball with us?” I asked instead. He looked surprised but happy at the same time. After a moment of silence, he nodded his head. Now that Del had forgiven me, I decided to do more before the recess was over. I stood up and shouted to the other kids, “Guys, come here! Let’s play kickball together! ” Some of them hesitated, but they eventually joined us. Del was smiling again and so were we. As we played, I realized that Del wasn’t as bad as I thought he was. He was just a normal kid who wanted to have fun and be accepted by others. From then on, whenever someone tried to start a rumor about him, I would stand up for him and tell them the truth about Del. We became good friends, and I learned an important lesson about judging people based on rumors. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者不喜欢一个名叫Del的同学，因为那同学总是称呼作者外号，并且是有名的捣蛋鬼。一次校长把Del叫去办公室，作者透过窗户看到另一个小男孩在哭泣，Del也不高兴，作者认为Del打了人，要被学校开除了，就把自己想象的结果传播给同学，同学们信以为真。Del回到学校后，大家都不和他玩，他很孤独。后来作者知道了真相，校长把Del叫去办公室，是因为他妈妈病了，那个哭泣的小孩是Del的弟弟。作者知道自己传播了谣言，感觉对不起Del，作者主动和Del打招呼，带动其他同学和Del一起玩。他们最终成为好朋友的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“第二天课间休息时，我看见Del独自坐着看踢球比赛。”可知，第一段可描写作者想要主动和Del打招呼，和Del一起玩。 ②由第二段首句内容“既然Del已经原谅了我，我决定在课间休息结束前做更多的事情。”可知，第二段可描写作者带动其他同学和Del一起玩，通过交流他们成为好朋友。 2.续写线索：走过去——打招呼——道歉——请求一起玩——带动其他同学一起玩——成为好朋友——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 1.说：say/put it 2.道歉：apologize/say sorry 3.接受：accept/recognize 4.加入：join/take part 情绪类 1. 惊讶的：surprised/astonished 2. 快乐的：happy/pleased/delighted 【点睛】 [高分句型1].

B Rowan Atkinson was born in a middle-class family. He had a speaking disability right from his childhood. This gave him a tough time in his childhood and at the start of his career. He was constantly bullied and laughed at because of his look and his speaking disability. This made him very shy and quiet. He didn’t have a lot of friends and the several rejections left him feeling lonely. Rowan was very much interested in science. And he decided to pursue a career in this field. After he completed his Master’s degree, he realized acting was something he really wanted to pursue. He auditioned for several TV shows but faced back-to-back rejections, because he didn’t have a good face and grand body in addition to his stammering problem as well. Rowan kept his passion alive and worked hard towards reaching his dreams. He aimed at making people laugh and with persistent efforts over the years he has successfully established this. After the several rejections he started creating original comedy sketches. Interestingly he realized that whenever he played some characters, he spoke fluently. He used it as inspiration for his acting. This is exactly where Rowan’s life changed. Rowan continued pursuing his dreams, despite all the hardships and rejections he had faced because of his looks and disorder. He had a major breakthrough when he started his own show Mr. Bean. Mr. Bean was “strange, surreal and non-speaking character”. He proved that even without a Hollywood face or a heroic body, you can become one of the most loved and respected actors in the world. Life always rewards those who are ready to keep moving forward. He teaches us that for success all you really need is hard work. Never let your fears and disabilities stop your life. Walk past these and make yourself better. Your hard work and efforts are sure to pay off one day. 4. What can we know about Rowan when he was young? A. He liked bullying his classmates. B. He had only a few friends and felt lonely. C. He showed little interest in science. D. He recovered from his speaking disability. 5. Why did Rowan want to act? A. He wanted to become popular. B. He enjoyed staying in the stage. C. He intended to make people happy. D. He was eager to overcome his drawback. 6. What made Rowan's life change? A. He was respected by the audience. B. He could speak fluently in some characters. C. He got a Hollywood face and a heroic body. D. He received a Master’s degree in science. 7. What contributed to Rowan’s success according to the text? A. His willpower. B. His wisdom. C. His physical appearance. D. His independence. C Confused by food nutrition labels? You’re not alone. Now, researchers have suggested an alternative: labelling the amount and type of exercise needed to burn off the calories. Current food and drink labels display nutritional information such as the amount of calories and fat. However researchers led by Prof. Amanda Daley at Loughborough University say that these labels are having a limited effect on changing buying habits. Instead, they propose a labelling system called ‘physical activity calorie equivalent or expenditure’ (PACE) (体育活动热量当量), which shows how many minutes or miles of physical activity are needed to burn off the calories. For example, a small bar of milk chocolate contains 230 calories, which would take about 42 minutes of walking, or 22 minutes of running, to burn off. They pooled the data from 14 previous studies which compared the impact of PACE labelling with that of other types of food labelling, or with no food labelling at all. They calculated that PACE labelling could cut a person’s daily calorie intake by up to 200 calories. “Public health agencies may want to consider the possibility of including policies to promote PACE food labelling as a strategy that contributes to the prevention and treatment of obesity (肥胖) and related diseases,” said the researchers. The UK’s Royal Society for Public Health has already called for PACE labelling to replace the current system. However, not everyone is convinced. A spokesperson for the eating disorder charity Beat said: “We believe that anti-obesity campaigns that focus on weight instead of health are ineffective and that recommending more exercise is an ineffective and over-simplistic approach to a complex problem. Most urgently, public health campaigns must consider people’s mental as well as their physical health, moving from obesity-shaming to evidence-based campaigns that build confidence and support healthy eating.” 8. What additional information can you get from PACE labels compared with the current ones? A. Exercise advice B. Fat content C. Nutrition facts D. Calorie content 9. What does the underlined word “pool” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. collected B. distributed C. deleted D. proved 10 What can we know form Beat’s comments? A. Obesity is a physical problem and can be solved by increasing exercise. B. Obesity is related to eating habits and can be tackled by cutting calories. C Obesity is no simple problem but can be settled by focusing on weight. D. Obesity is complicated and should be tackled physically and mentally. 11. What’s the best title for the text? A. PACE: A new labelling option B. Nutrition: A basic step towards health C. Labelling: A smart advisor for shopping D. Excise: An effective treatment for obesity D A team in Norway recently conducted in-depth research on writing by hand and typing on a keyboard. The team invited 36 university students who had to either write or type words displayed on a screen. The study participants used a digital pen to write in cursive (草书) on a touchscreen, and they used one finger on a keyboard to type. The researchers used a special cap with 256 sensors. This cap was worn by the students, and their brain activity was recorded for five seconds each time they were asked to write or type. “We show that when writing by hand, brain connectivity patterns are far more complex than when typewriting on a keyboard,” says Professor Audrey van der Meer, the team leader. “Such widespread brain connectivity is known to be important for memory formation and for encoding (编码) new information and, therefore, is beneficial for learning.” The researchers also note that even though the participants used digital pens for writing in the study, they believe the findings would be similar if the participants used an ink pen and paper. “We’ve shown that the differences in brain activity are related to the careful forming of the letters when writing by hand while making more use of the senses. Since it’s the movement of the fingers carried out when forming letters that promotes brain connectivity, writing in print also has similar benefits for learning as cursive writing,” Audrey adds. “This also explains why children who have learned to write and read on a tablet can have difficulty distinguishing between letters that are mirror images of each other, such as ‘b’ and ‘d’. They haven’t felt with their bodies what it feels like to produce those letters.” Considering handwritten note-taking is becoming less common in educational settings, the researchers advocate for more opportunities for students to write by hand. “There’s some evidence that students learn more and remember better when taking handwritten lecture notes, while using a computer with a keyboard may be more pragmatic when writing a long text or essay,” Audrey concludes. 12.

He always called me the nickname “Germy”, which meant “dirty”, instead of my real name “Jamie”. Besides, he was known as a trouble-maker in school. So when the head teacher Mr. Smith asked Del to come to his office, I naturally thought that Del had done something mean to someone. Through the window, I caught sight of a smaller boy crying. Del seemed unhappy, too. He did not return to class that day. All of us were discussing what had happened to him. What else could such an annoying boy do? “He must have hit the boy and was sent home,” I whispered to my friends. Their eyes widened. It felt good to see them so interested in what I said. The next morning, the whole school was talking about Del being expelled(开除) for beating up a kid. I was surprised that my assumptions were passed on so quickly. So when Del walked into the classroom, all the kids were shocked. The kids next to him shift ed their desks away. “What’s your problem?” Del asked. “I don’t want you to attack me,” one kid said. Some laughed. “Yeah, I might,” said Del. I could tell he was joking, but many kids thought he admitted he did beat up someone. During recess(课间休息), Del tried to join the kickball game. “Neither team wants you,” one of the players said. “Why?” Del asked, looking confused. “I always play with you guys.” They ignored him and went on playing. Del sat by himself while the rest of the school enjoyed their recess away from him. Del looked lonely and sad, much different from before. I started to feel sorry for him. Later that day, I learned what really happened. The kid was Del’s little brother and he was crying because their mother fell ill and was sent to hospital. I felt even sorrier for what I said before. I started a rumor(谣言). 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右;2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 At recess the next day, I saw Del sitting alone watching the kickball game. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Now that Del had forgiven me, I decided to do more before the recess was over. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力 1—5ABCCA 6—10ABABC 11—15CBCAA 16—20BBAAC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
