It also brings good changes in our life and keeps us alive and active. Travelling gives us practical experience of things we have studied in the books. So a person who does not travel at all does not find any meaning in the name of Ganga River. However, if he has travelled to this place, he can truly relate everything he has studied and will always remember each and every detail of that place. Nowadays, many people like travelling as they want to explore the world and watch everything they have read about. And this seems to be quite true as practical knowledge is more important and effective (有效的). People like to visit historical places present in different parts of the world and collect information on the same to write books and stories. Travelling has become easier due to (由于) advancement in technology and transportation (交通). Earlier people used to travel by road or sea and it took many days to travel from one place to another. However, now the situation has changed and people travel to far off places within hours and minutes — thanks to well-built roads and airplanes. People travel for different purposes, some travel for further education while others travel to relax and enjoy. Many people take a break from their busy schedule and go for a vacation, which makes them feel pleased and energetic (充满活力的). Many writers and painters travel to different places to experience some of the best things of nature and express them in the form of paintings or books. People also travel for business purposes so as to make money from their business. Students travel for educational purposes. Everyone has a unique reason to travel. Therefore, travelling is an important part of human life and it provides knowledge and offers all kinds of benefits (好处) to mankind. 8. What does the author want to say by mentioning the Ganga River? A. The Ganga river is a good place to visit. B. Travelling brings good changes in our life. C. Visitors fail to find the meaning of the Ganga river. D. People should travel to experience the things in the books. 9. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The traffic in earlier times. B. The time spent on travelling. C. Changes in means of transportation. D. The reasons why travelling has become easier. 10. What can we know from the last two paragraphs? A. Different people have different reasons to travel. B. Businessmen always travel for a vacation. C. Writers travel to sell their books. D. Painters love travelling the most. 11. What does the author think of travelling? A. Useful but expensive. B. Important but difficult. C. Meaningful and necessary. D. Pleasant and safe. 【答案】8. D 9. D 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要讲述了旅行的意义以及人们旅行的目的。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Travelling gives us practical experience of things we have studied in the books. So a person who does not travel at all does not find any meaning in the name of Ganga River. (旅行使我们对书本上所学的东西有了实际的体验。所以一个完全不旅行的人不会在恒河的名字中找到任何意义。)”可知，旅行使我们对书本上所学的东西有了实际的体验，一个完全不旅行的人不会了解恒河这个名字的意义，作者提到恒河是为了强调旅行的意义，人们应该旅行去体验书中的东西，故选D。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段内容，结合“Travelling has become easier due to (由于) advancement in technology and transportation(交通). (由于科技和交通的进步，旅行变得更加容易了。)”可知，本段主要讲述了旅行变得更简单方便的原因是技术和交通的进步让花费在路上的时间变短了，故选D。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“People travel for different purposes (人们旅行有不同的目的)”以及最后一段中“Everyone has a unique reason to travel. (每个人都有一个独特的理由去旅行。)”可知，不同的人因不同的理由去旅行，故选A。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Travelling plays an important part in making us feel relaxed and happy. It also brings good changes in our life and keeps us alive and active. Travelling gives us practical experience of things we have studied in the books. (旅行在使我们感到放松和快乐方面起着重要的作用。它也给我们的生活带来了好的变化，让我们保持活力和活跃。旅行使我们对书本上所学的东西有了实际的体验。)”和最后一段中“Therefore, travelling is an important part of human life and it provides knowledge and offers all kinds of benefits (好处) to mankind.

You might be surprised to hear that your lifestyle habits might be making it difficult for you to correctly record each piece of information, experience, or learning. It would appear that the secret to improving your memory is really simple. It’s to take breaks. As a matter of fact, the brain has more limited (有限的) energy resources than you probably think. Therefore. it tires quickly and its levels of attention begin to drop after about 30 to 45 minutes. The hippocampus is the area of your brain that’s responsible for consolidating (巩固) your short-term memories in the long term. Furthermore, for this consolidation to be possible, there must be an connection with different areas of the cerebral cortex (大脑皮层) . At the present time, we know that, for best connectivity, we must rest. Therefore, factors such as tiredness, bad feelings, or stress make it difficult to connect one area to the other. Michaela Dewar, a researcher at the University of Edinburgh in the United Kingdom, conducted a study with other experts to understand how to improve memory consolidation processes. What they found was that something as simple as taking breaks of between 9 and15 minutes improves memory, both in healthy people and in those with neurological damage (神经系统受损) . However, there’s one small detail that’s important. The rest must be real rest. In other words, you should go to a quiet space and give up anything that takes your attention away. This includes not having your cellphone nearby. The secret to improving your memory requires you to rest for between 10 and 15 minutes leaving your mind completely empty. Your lifestyle plays an extremely important role in the way your memory functions (运转) . Rest isn’t wasting time. In fact, allowing yourself small breaks is good for your health and well-being. 12. What is the secret to improving memory? A. Learning about brain. B. Recording every details. C. Having breaks. D. Forming good habits. 13. What factor may influence the connection between different areas of cerebral cortex? A. Satisfaction. B. Sadness. C. Excitement. D. Happiness. 14. What does the underlined word “conducted” in Paragraph 4 mean? A. Found. B. Began. C. Produce D. Organised. 15. Where is the text most probably taken from? A A science report. B. A dictionary. C. A course plan. D. A textbook. 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了提高记忆力的关键就是要适当休息。大脑放空一定的时间才是真正意义的休息，休息好不仅能提高记忆力，对我们的身体也是大有益处。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“It would appear that the secret to improving your memory is really simple. It’s to take breaks.(提高记忆力的秘诀似乎很简单。那就是休息)”可知，提高记忆力的秘诀是休息。故选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Therefore, factors such as tiredness, bad feelings, or stress make it difficult to connect one area to the other.(因此，疲劳、不良情绪或压力等因素使我们很难将一个区域与另一个区域联系起来)”可知，悲伤可能影响大脑皮层不同区域之间的联系。故选B。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线词后文“a study with other experts to understand how to improve memory consolidation processes. What they found was that something as simple as taking breaks of between 9 and15 minutes improves memory, both in healthy people and in those with neurological damage (神经系统受损).(与其他专家一起研究如何改善记忆巩固过程。他们发现，不管是健康人还是神经系统受损的人，像休息9到15分钟这样简单的事情都能提高记忆力)”可知，Michael a Dewar与其他专家一起组织进行了一项研究，发现休息9到15分钟可以帮助提高记忆力。故划线词意思是“组织”。故选D。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“It would appear that the secret to improving your memory is really simple. It’s to take breaks. As a matter of fact, the brain has more limited (有限的) energy resources than you probably think. Therefore. it tires quickly and its levels of attention begin to drop after about 30 to 45 minutes.(提高记忆力的秘诀似乎很简单。这是为了休息。事实上，大脑的能量资源比你想象的要有限得多。因此。大约30到45分钟后，大脑很快就会疲劳，注意力水平开始下降)”结合文章主要讲述了提高记忆力的关键就是要适当休息。大脑放空一定的时间才是真正意义的休息，休息好不仅能提高记忆力，对我们的身体也是大有益处，这最可能来自一份科学报告，故选A。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Teaching manners to a young child, may seem a little difficult, but it doesn’t have to be.

That afternoon, they had to share their table with another person. That person was a young man in his twenties. After eating, he went to the restroom leaving his iPad on the table. Five minutes later, he came out talking on the cellphone with someone and hurriedly walked out of the cafe without looking back. Ella saw the iPad on the table. She quickly told Mark, “Mark, the man left behind his iPad.” Mark looked at the iPad. It took his breath away. It was one of the latest models on the market. Mark had always wanted an iPad. But his parents had told him, “You have a cellphone and you need to focus on your study. No need, to have an iPad.” He stared at it for some minutes. Then he said slowly, pausing on every word, “I want to take the iPad.” Ella could not believe her ears. She merely stared at her brother. “You can’t! What if the owner comes to look for it?” Having made the decision, Mark quickly grabbed the iPad and put it in his schoolbag. Then, he took Ella’s hand and led her out of the cafe quickly. Once back home, Mark rushed to his bedroom. Inside his room, he couldn’t wait to take out the piece of beauty from the bag. Oh, he liked it so much. He had his dream iPad for free. Soon, he was polishing it happily. But Ella came in, telling him, “Mark, you cannot keep the iPad. What will you tell Father about this? He will ask you how you got the iPad.” Mark said quickly, “I will say a friend lent it to me.” Ella said, “Now you are lying. Oh dear! When have you turned so dishonest?” Then Ella noticed a phone number on the back of the iPad. “This may be the man’s phone number. Why don’t we just call this number? He must be worried and sad about losing his iPad. We will talk to him and ask him to come and take it back.” She was trying to talk some sense into him. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题纸相应位置作答。 That night, Mark turned over in bed from time to time. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Ella was very happy to hear that. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Possible version: That night, Mark turned over in bed from time to time. He had difficulty sleeping, uncertain about what he should do. Of course, he liked the iPad. However, he was feeling sorry for the owner. When he thought how worried and sad the young man would be at the loss of his iPad, he was full of guilt and shame. After a long and restless night, the next morning, he was determined to return the iPad to the owner. After school, he told Ella, “You’re right. I can’t keep it for my own. I am going to phone the owner.” Ella was very happy to hear that. Back home, they immediately dialed the number on the back. A young man answered the phone. Mark asked, “Have you lost an iPad? I’m Mark. I found your iPad. Can you come and get it?” “Yes!” the man replied excitedly. Then he expressed his gratitude repeatedly. Ten minutes later, he was at the same cafe to meet Mark and Ella. Handing back the iPad to him and seeing his smile, Mark felt relieved and happy about his final decision. Because he also found back something precious that he had almost lost and realized that honesty was indeed the best policy. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了Mark捡到iPad后，在经过内心挣扎后决定归还给失主，并因此感受到诚实带来的满足和快乐的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“那天晚上，Mark不时地在床上翻来覆去。”可知，第一段可描写Mark在捡到iPad后的内心挣扎，以及他最终决定归还iPad的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容“Ella听到这个消息非常高兴。”可知，第二段可描写Mark和Ella一起联系失主，并将iPad归还给失主的过程，以及Mark因此感受到的满足和快乐。 2.续写线索：捡到iPad——内心挣扎——决定归还——联系失主——归还iPad——感受满足和快乐 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①睡觉：sleep/doze off ②决定：be determined to/make up one’s mind to ③归还：return/give back 情绪类： ①羞愧：be full of guilt/feel ashamed ②快乐：be happy/feel delighted 【点睛】[高分句型1]When he thought how worried and sad the young man would be at the loss of his iPad, he was full of guilt and shame.

B Max reads more than anyone he knows. He loves to read during all of his free time. His friends laugh at him because he would rather read than play video games, but his parents and his teachers are proud of him. They say reading is important, and it will help him learn about the world around him. They also tell him it is a good habit. One day Max was reading a magazine article about volcanos(火山). He told his friends all about volcanos and what causes them to erupt. The very next week, the teacher started a science project about volcanoes. Guess who everyone wanted in their project group! Max’s friends weren’t laughing at him anymore. Max ended up being in a group with Liz, Anna and Josh. The work was to create a poster board with information about volcanoes and to build a volcano model. Max made copies of the magazine article about volcanoes so his project partners could read about them too. They also went to the library to look for more information about volcanos. The group met at Anna’s house that night to organise the information and decide what they wanted to put on the poster board. They all asked Max what he thought was most important. Then they decided together to do what Max said. The next night they met at Josh’s house to build their volcano. They used cardboard and modeling clay. First they made a volcano shape with the cardboard, and then they covered the shape in brown and red clay. The volcano looked great. Max Liz, Anna and Josh were very proud of their hard work.

Making a Volcano Model C Travelling plays an important part in making us feel relaxed and happy. It also brings good changes in our life and keeps us alive and active. Travelling gives us practical experience of things we have studied in the books. So a person who does not travel at all does not find any meaning in the name of Ganga River. However, if he has travelled to this place, he can truly relate everything he has studied and will always remember each and every detail of that place. Nowadays, many people like travelling as they want to explore the world and watch everything they have read about. And this seems to be quite true as practical knowledge is more important and effective (有效的). People like to visit historical places present in different parts of the world and collect information on the same to write books and stories. Travelling has become easier due to (由于) advancement in technology and transportation (交通). Earlier people used to travel by road or sea and it took many days to travel from one place to another. However, now the situation has changed and people travel to far off places within hours and minutes — thanks to well-built roads and airplanes. People travel for different purposes, some travel for further education while others travel to relax and enjoy. Many people take a break from their busy schedule and go for a vacation, which makes them feel pleased and energetic (充满活力的). Many writers and painters travel to different places to experience some of the best things of nature and express them in the form of paintings or books. People also travel for business purposes so as to make money from their business. Students travel for educational purposes. Everyone has a unique reason to travel. Therefore, travelling is an important part of human life and it provides knowledge and offers all kinds of benefits (好处) to mankind. 8. What does the author want to say by mentioning the Ganga River? A. The Ganga river is a good place to visit. B. Travelling brings good changes in our life. C. Visitors fail to find the meaning of the Ganga river. D. People should travel to experience the things in the books. 9. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The traffic in earlier times. B. The time spent on travelling. C. Changes in means of transportation. D. The reasons why travelling has become easier. 10. What can we know from the last two paragraphs? A. Different people have different reasons to travel. B. Businessmen always travel for a vacation. C. Writers travel to sell their books. D. Painters love travelling the most. 11. What does the author think of travelling? A. Useful but expensive. B. Important but difficult. C. Meaningful and necessary. D. Pleasant and safe. D If you want to improve your memory, you need to know how your brain works. You might be surprised to hear that your lifestyle habits might be making it difficult for you to correctly record each piece of information, experience, or learning. It would appear that the secret to improving your memory is really simple. It’s to take breaks. As a matter of fact, the brain has more limited (有限的) energy resources than you probably think. Therefore. it tires quickly and its levels of attention begin to drop after about 30 to 45 minutes. The hippocampus is the area of your brain that’s responsible for consolidating (巩固) your short-term memories in the long term. Furthermore, for this consolidation to be possible, there must be an connection with different areas of the cerebral cortex (大脑皮层) . At the present time, we know that, for best connectivity, we must rest. Therefore, factors such as tiredness, bad feelings, or stress make it difficult to connect one area to the other. Michaela Dewar, a researcher at the University of Edinburgh in the United Kingdom, conducted a study with other experts to understand how to improve memory consolidation processes. What they found was that something as simple as taking breaks of between 9 and15 minutes improves memory, both in healthy people and in those with neurological damage (神经系统受损) . However, there’s one small detail that’s important. The rest must be real rest. In other words, you should go to a quiet space and give up anything that takes your attention away. This includes not having your cellphone nearby. The secret to improving your memory requires you to rest for between 10 and 15 minutes leaving your mind completely empty. Your lifestyle plays an extremely important role in the way your memory functions (运转) . Rest isn’t wasting time. In fact, allowing yourself small breaks is good for your health and well-being. 12. What is the secret to improving memory? A. Learning about brain. B. Recording every details. C. Having breaks. D. Forming good habits. 13. What factor may influence the connection between different areas of cerebral cortex? A. Satisfaction. B. Sadness. C. Excitement. D. Happiness. 14. What does the underlined word “conducted” in Paragraph 4 mean? A. Found. B. Began. C. Produce D. Organised. 15. Where is the text most probably taken from? A. A science report. B. A dictionary. C. A course plan. D. A textbook. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Teaching manners to a young child, may seem a little difficult, but it doesn’t have to be.

That afternoon, they had to share their table with another person. That person was a young man in his twenties. After eating, he went to the restroom leaving his iPad on the table. Five minutes later, he came out talking on the cellphone with someone and hurriedly walked out of the cafe without looking back. Ella saw the iPad on the table. She quickly told Mark, “Mark, the man left behind his iPad.” Mark looked at the iPad. It took his breath away. It was one of the latest models on the market. Mark had always wanted an iPad. But his parents had told him, “You have a cellphone and you need to focus on your study. No need, to have an iPad.” He stared at it for some minutes. Then he said slowly, pausing on every word, “I want to take the iPad.” Ella could not believe her ears. She merely stared at her brother. “You can’t! What if the owner comes to look for it?” Having made the decision, Mark quickly grabbed the iPad and put it in his schoolbag. Then, he took Ella’s hand and led her out of the cafe quickly. Once back home, Mark rushed to his bedroom. Inside his room, he couldn’t wait to take out the piece of beauty from the bag. Oh, he liked it so much. He had his dream iPad for free. Soon, he was polishing it happily. But Ella came in, telling him, “Mark, you cannot keep the iPad. What will you tell Father about this? He will ask you how you got the iPad.” Mark said quickly, “I will say a friend lent it to me.” Ella said, “Now you are lying. Oh dear! When have you turned so dishonest?” Then Ella noticed a phone number on the back of the iPad. “This may be the man’s phone number. Why don’t we just call this number? He must be worried and sad about losing his iPad. We will talk to him and ask him to come and take it back.” She was trying to talk some sense into him. 注意： （1）续写词数应150左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 That night, Mark turned over in bed from time to time. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Ella was very happy to hear that. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
