O. Henry(1862-1910) was an American short story author whose real name was William Sydney Porter. Henry’s works reflected his wide-range of experiences and are distinctive for its witticism(俏皮话), clever wordplay, and unexpected twist endings.
Like many other writers, O. Henry’s early career aims were unfocused and he wandered across different activities and professions before he finally found his calling as a short story writer. He started working in his uncle’s drugstore in 1879. Later, he moved to Texas where he lived on a farm and learned sheep shepherding, cooking, babysitting, and bits of Spanish and German from the many migrant farmhands.
Over the next several years, he took a number of different jobs, from drafting to journalism, and banking, but he was careless with accounting, thus fired by the bank and charged with a crime in 1894. He fled the day before the trial in 1896, first to New Orleans, then to Honduras, where he learned his wife was dying and could not join him, so he returned to Austin and turned himself in to the court. His father-in-law helped him out so he could remain with his wife until her death in 1897. Later he was sentenced and served in Federal prison in Ohio from 1989-1902.
The many twists and turns of O. Henry’s own life, including his travels in Latin America and time spent in prison, clearly inspired his stories’ twists and wordplay. His prolific writing period began in 1902 in New York City, where he wrote 381 short stories which show his obvious affection for this City and its diversity of people and places. O. Henry’s trademark is his witty, plot-twisting endings, and his warm characterization of the awkward and difficult situations and the creative ways people find to deal with them, which typically features in his work like The Last Leaf, The Gift of the Magi, etc. All of his stories are highly entertaining, whether read for pleasure or studied in classrooms around the world.
Unfortunately, O. Henry’s personal tragedy was heavy drinking. He died in 1910 of several diseases. He was a gifted short story writer and left us a rich legacy of great stories to enjoy.
4. What happened to O. Henry in his early life?
A. He took up writing as his lifelong profession early on.
B. He had a pretty good command of Spanish and German.
C. He engaged himself with numerous jobs to experience life.
D. He failed to live a stable life and switched jobs for a living.
5. What does the underlined word “prolific” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. relevant B. productive C. profitable D. original
6. Which of the following words can best describe O. Henry’s works?
A. Educational and tragic. B. Unpredictable and serious.
C. Fascinating and twisty. D. Extraordinary and formal.
7. What does O. Henry’s life story convey?
A. More haste, less speed. B. Time and tide wait for no man.
C. He who laughs last laughs best. D. Suffering is a stepping stone to genius.
C
Tie an Italian’s hands behind his back and he’ll be speechless, which is an old joke in the US. However, Susan Goldin-Meadowin, author of the book Thinking With Your Hands, has a rather different view.
“Almost everyone gestures, not just Italians,” she laughs. “Conference interpreters gesture in their little rooms, though no one is looking at them. Even people born blind gesture when they speak, including to each other. In the TV series, The Crown, Lady Diana is warned that her hands may reveal her real emotions, which could be dangerous and that they have to be tied together so she can learn to speak without gesturing.”
The gesture under discussion here is the so-called “co-speech gesture”. It is much more abstract (抽象) than such symbolic gestures like a finger over the lips for “Silence!” or raising a finger to mean “Great!”. Like words such symbolic gestures are fixed within cultures (but vary between them). Instead, co-speech gestures that accompany speech are another channel of information and emotion. For example, experimental subjects are asked to watch a film in which a cat runs, but they are told to lie and say it jumped. They may do so in words - while their hands will make a running movement. The co-speech gesture is not sign languages, either. They have clearly defined words and grammar and differ from place to place just as spoken ones do.
And the co-speech gestures have great potential for practical applications. For example, teachers are encouraged both to use gestures themselves and to observe those their students make. Some students who fail at a tricky mathematics problem may gesture in a way that indicates they are on the edge of getting it; they should be taught differently from the ones whose gestures suggest that they are entirely at sea.
“Children with language delays caused by brain injuries at or around birth are likely to catch up verbally by the age of about 30 months, if they gesture as much as their peers. Those who gesture less are more likely to need early intervention,” Susan Goldin-Meadow in adds. “Co-speech gesturing is not just about a lack of control. It is about thinking and communication, and is an aid to both.”
8. What does Susan Goldin-Meadowin really want to tell us in paragraph 2?
A. Lady Diana is probably an emotional woman.
B. Italians are very talkative and gesture too much.
C. It is unnatural for the blind to gesture to each other.
D. Co-speech gestures are used by all of us unknowingly.
9. What can we say about sign languages?
A. They are as abstract as co-speech gestures.
B. They are usually learned by human beings naturally.
C. They have distinctly structured words and grammar.
D. They vary from culture to culture and person to person.
10. What does the author suggest teachers do in the passage?
A. Put enough trust in students.
B. Encourage students to tell the truth.
C. Observe the co-speech gestures carefully.
D. Teach as many tricky problems as possible.
11. What is the main idea of this passage?
A. Co-speech gestures play a vital part in communication.
B. Symbolic gestures differ greatly from co-speech gestures.
C. Co-speech gestures are more difficult than sign languages.
D. Symbolic gestures have great potential for practical applications.
D
The world’s elderly population is increasing. The number of older people — those aged 60 years or older — is expected to double by 2050 and is growing faster than all younger age groups across the world. That comes with an increasing need for caregivers who can provide 24-hour care, not only at hospitals or nursing homes, but also at private homes.
Already, caregiving robots are programmed to ask questions a nurse would ask and can keep an eye on patients for falls. These robotic assistants are expected to become increasingly marketable and reach 450,000 by 2045 because of the expected caregiver shortage in the United States.
“Unluckily, the hard structure of present caregiving robots prevents them from a safe human-robot interaction, limiting their assistance to only social interaction and not physical interaction,” said Ramses Martinez, an assistant professor in Purdue’s College of Engineering. “After all, would you leave babies or old people in the hands of a robot?”
Recent advances in material science have enabled the production of soft robots with deformable (可变形的) bodies or the ability to reshape themselves when touched, but today the complex design prevents the use of this technology at home.
However, Martinez and other researchers have developed a new design method which shows promise in enabling the production of soft robots using a 3-D printer.
The design process has three steps. First, a user makes a computer-aided design file with the shape of the robot. The user then paints the file to show which directions the different joints of the soft robot will move. It takes the computer a few seconds to change the computer-aided design model into a 3-D soft machine that can be printed using any 3-D printer.
“The soft machines move like humans. Their ability to change their body structure and movement to adapt to a wide variety of environments will improve caregiving greatly,” says Martinez.
The researchers are looking for partners to test and bring their technology to the market.
12. Why does the market urgently need caregiving robots?
A. The basic needs of the nursing homes.
B. The results of advanced technology.
C. The rapid increase in the global aging population.
D. The continuous decrease in birth rate.
13. What makes it difficult for people to accept caregiving robots?
A. They can’t communicate with the patients freely.
B. They can’t offer convincing physical interaction.
C. They can’t update the service in a timely manner.
D. They can’t truly empathize with the old patients.
14. How to evaluate Martinez’s new design method?
A. It allows the computer to fully automate the robot production.
B. It requires a specific 3-D printer to print out a soft robot.
C. It takes a long time to print a soft robot with a 3-D printer.
D. It makes the production of soft robots easier to operate.
15. What is the most important thing for the researchers to do now?
A. Ensure the technology is widely accepted and applied.
B. Train more users to earn money for further research.
C. Ask the manufacturers to produce a variety of products.
D. Investigate the market preferences to guide future development.
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。
Have you ever heard someone say, “breakfast is the most important meal of the day”, or give you advice about why it’s vital to start the day with a healthy breakfast? ___16___ Is it really that important? In a sense, it really matters.
Energy restoration
The word “breakfast” comes from “breaking the fast”—the idea of ending the period in which we didn’t eat during the night. When we sleep, our body consumes some of our natural food storage. ___17___ So, in that way, a healthy breakfast makes sense.
Weight management
There are also many often-quoted studies which seem to link a state of obesity with not having breakfast. ___18___ In a US study, 50,000 people were monitored over seven years, and those who ate a healthy breakfast were found to have a lower BMI, which seems to suggest that breakfast may indeed help people maintain a healthy weight.
Better brain function
___19___ Breakfast is also associated with improved brain function, including attention and language. A review of 54 studies found that eating breakfast can improve memory and one of the researchers says there is reasonable evidence that breakfast does improve attention.
What’s most important is what we eat for breakfast. High-protein breakfasts have been found particularly effective in reducing food consumption later in the day. However, studies found that there is no agreement on what type of breakfast is healthier. ___20___
A. Breakfast helps us refill the exhausted stores.
B. Weight-loss is likely to cause them health problems.
C. Breakfast has been found to affect more than just weight.
D. Breakfast types don’t matter as much as simply eating something.
E. Thus, it is suggested that a healthy breakfast can control and lose weight.
F. Many people are recommended to manage their weight by not having meals.
G. It seems that this feast, for many of us, is necessary for our day to start well.

“Most of the fathers had the same reacting (反应) as you did ,” the teacher said. “When I first suggested we try this, I asked the children ____27____ they thought their parents would say.

What I’m trying to tell the children is that it’s too ______31______ that we don’t all express those feeling. A boy should be able to tell his dad he loves him.”
The teacher, a middle-aged man, understands how ______32______ it is for some of us to say the things that would be good for us to say.
When my son came to me that evening, I held on to him for a (n) ______33______ second. And just ______34______ he pulled away, I said in my deepest, most manly voice, “Hey, my boy, I love you, too.”
I don’t know if saying that made either of us healthier but it did feel pretty good. Maybe next time one of my children said “I love you”, it would not take me a whole day to think of the right ______35______

Two tickets Only two tickets to the big basketball game. Three pairs of eyes all focused on the tickets in Dad’s outstretched hand.
Marcus, the oldest, spoke the question running through everyone’s mind, “Only two tickets? But, Dad, which of us gets to go with you?”
“Yeah, Daddy, who gets to go?” repeated Caleb, the youngest.
“Dad, can’t you get any more tickets?” I asked. I might be the in-between sister, but I was just as eager as my basketball-crazy brothers were for a night out with Dad.
“I’m afraid not,” Dad answered. “Mr. Williams only has two tickets. He was thoughtful enough to offer the tickets to me when he found out he’d be out of town this weekend.”
Dad scratched his head, “Caleb, don’t you think you’re a little young to enjoy a professional basketball game…?”“Am not! Am not!” Caleb insisted. Dad shifted his focus and tried again. “Jill, since you’re a girl…” Before I could respond, Mom came to my defense and said, “Jill’s out there practicing with Marcus and all of his friends, and she’s better than quite a few of them, too!”
“Okay, okay,” Dad smiled. “I guess I’ll have to figure out a fair way of choosing between the three of you by tomorrow morning. I’ll have to decide who deserves it most.”
The next morning, Marcus hurried into the kitchen. “Where’s Dad?” he asked. “He and Mom went to pick up some books from the library,” Caleb answered, digging his spoon into a bowl of cereal (麦片).
“And he said we should all get started on our Saturday household chores as soon as we finish breakfast,” I added.
“Chores! He’s got to be kidding. ” Marcus said. “How can we concentrate on chores when the big game is a mere eleven hours away?” “I’m going to play basketball for a while,” Marcus announced.
“Wait for me!” Caleb added and dashed after his brother. The back door slammed shut as the two boys ran down the driveway.
注意:
1. 续写词数应150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I looked at the breakfast table in front of me: bits of cereal here and there.

O. Henry(1862-1910) was an American short story author whose real name was William Sydney Porter. Henry’s works reflected his wide-range of experiences and are distinctive for its witticism(俏皮话), clever wordplay, and unexpected twist endings.
Like many other writers, O. Henry’s early career aims were unfocused and he wandered across different activities and professions before he finally found his calling as a short story writer. He started working in his uncle’s drugstore in 1879. Later, he moved to Texas where he lived on a farm and learned sheep shepherding, cooking, babysitting, and bits of Spanish and German from the many migrant farmhands.
Over the next several years, he took a number of different jobs, from drafting to journalism, and banking, but he was careless with accounting, thus fired by the bank and charged with a crime in 1894. He fled the day before the trial in 1896, first to New Orleans, then to Honduras, where he learned his wife was dying and could not join him, so he returned to Austin and turned himself in to the court. His father-in-law helped him out so he could remain with his wife until her death in 1897. Later he was sentenced and served in Federal prison in Ohio from 1989-1902.
The many twists and turns of O. Henry’s own life, including his travels in Latin America and time spent in prison, clearly inspired his stories’ twists and wordplay. His prolific writing period began in 1902 in New York City, where he wrote 381 short stories which show his obvious affection for this City and its diversity of people and places. O. Henry’s trademark is his witty, plot-twisting endings, and his warm characterization of the awkward and difficult situations and the creative ways people find to deal with them, which typically features in his work like The Last Leaf, The Gift of the Magi, etc. All of his stories are highly entertaining, whether read for pleasure or studied in classrooms around the world.
Unfortunately, O. Henry’s personal tragedy was heavy drinking. He died in 1910 of several diseases. He was a gifted short story writer and left us a rich legacy of great stories to enjoy.
4. What happened to O. Henry in his early life?
A. He took up writing as his lifelong profession early on.
B. He had a pretty good command of Spanish and German.
C. He engaged himself with numerous jobs to experience life.
D. He failed to live a stable life and switched jobs for a living.
5. What does the underlined word “prolific” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. relevant B. productive C. profitable D. original
6. Which of the following words can best describe O. Henry’s works?
A. Educational and tragic. B. Unpredictable and serious.
C. Fascinating and twisty. D. Extraordinary and formal.
7. What does O. Henry’s life story convey?
A. More haste, less speed. B. Time and tide wait for no man.
C. He who laughs last laughs best. D. Suffering is a stepping stone to genius.
【答案】4. D 5. B 6. C 7. D

C
Tie an Italian’s hands behind his back and he’ll be speechless, which is an old joke in the US. However, Susan Goldin-Meadowin, author of the book Thinking With Your Hands, has a rather different view.
“Almost everyone gestures, not just Italians,” she laughs. “Conference interpreters gesture in their little rooms, though no one is looking at them. Even people born blind gesture when they speak, including to each other. In the TV series, The Crown, Lady Diana is warned that her hands may reveal her real emotions, which could be dangerous and that they have to be tied together so she can learn to speak without gesturing.”
The gesture under discussion here is the so-called “co-speech gesture”. It is much more abstract (抽象) than such symbolic gestures like a finger over the lips for “Silence!” or raising a finger to mean “Great!”. Like words, such symbolic gestures are fixed within cultures (but vary between them). Instead, co-speech gestures that accompany speech are another channel of information and emotion. For example, experimental subjects are asked to watch a film in which a cat runs, but they are told to lie and say it jumped. They may do so in words - while their hands will make a running movement. The co-speech gesture is not sign languages, either. They have clearly defined words and grammar and differ from place to place just as spoken ones do.
And the co-speech gestures have great potential for practical applications. For example, teachers are encouraged both to use gestures themselves and to observe those their students make. Some students who fail at a tricky mathematics problem may gesture in a way that indicates they are on the edge of getting it; they should be taught differently from the ones whose gestures suggest that they are entirely at sea.
“Children with language delays caused by brain injuries at or around birth are likely to catch up verbally by the age of about 30 months, if they gesture as much as their peers. Those who gesture less are more likely to need early intervention,” Susan Goldin-Meadow in adds. “Co-speech gesturing is not just about a lack of control. It is about thinking and communication, and is an aid to both.”
8. What does Susan Goldin-Meadowin really want to tell us in paragraph 2?
A. Lady Diana is probably an emotional woman.
B. Italians are very talkative and gesture too much.
C. It is unnatural for the blind to gesture to each other.
D. Co-speech gestures are used by all of us unknowingly.
9. What can we say about sign languages?
A. They are as abstract as co-speech gestures.
B. They are usually learned by human beings naturally.
C. They have distinctly structured words and grammar.
D. They vary from culture to culture and person to person.
10. What does the author suggest teachers do in the passage?
A. Put enough trust in students.
B. Encourage students to tell the truth.
C. Observe the co-speech gestures carefully.
D. Teach as many tricky problems as possible.
11. What is the main idea of this passage?
A. Co-speech gestures play a vital part in communication.
B. Symbolic gestures differ greatly from co-speech gestures.
C. Co-speech gestures are more difficult than sign languages.
D. Symbolic gestures have great potential for practical applications.
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. C 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,文章主要介绍了一种身体语言co-speech gesture及其用途。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Conference interpreters gesture in their little rooms, though no one is looking at them. Even people born blind gesture when they speak, including to each other. In the TV series, The Crown, Lady Diana is warned that her hands may reveal her real emotions, which could be dangerous and that they have to be tied together so she can learn to speak without gesturing. (会议口译员在他们的小房间里做手势,尽管没有人看着他们。即使是天生失明的人在说话时也会做出手势,包括彼此之间。在电视剧《王冠》中,戴安娜王妃被警告说,她的手可能会暴露出她的真实情绪,这可能是危险的,必须把它们绑在一起,这样她才能学会不用手势说话。)”这几个例子可推断,Susan Goldin-Meadowin认为这种co-speech gesture是下意识的,而且所有人都会用。故选D项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题,根据第三段“The co-speech gesture is not sign languages, either. They have clearly defined words and grammar and differ from place to place just as spoken ones do. (co-speech gesture 也不是手语。手语它们有明确定义的单词和语法,并且像口语一样因地而异。)”可知,手语有明确的单词和语法。故选C项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“For example, teachers are encouraged both to use gestures themselves and to observe those their students make. Some students who fail at a tricky mathematics problem may gesture in a way that ındıcates they are on the edge of getting it; they should be taught differently from the ones whose gestures suggest that they are entirely at sea. (例如,鼓励教师自己使用手势,并观察学生的手势。一些在棘手的数学问题上失败的学生可能会做出一种暗示,表明他们即将得到它;他们应该与那些手势表明他们茫然人区别开来教。)”可推断,作者会建议教师细致观察学生手势,来确定学生是否真正理解而更好地分开教学。故选C项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是最后一段“Co-speech gesturing is not just about a lack of control. It is about thinking and communication, and is an aid to both. (Co-speech gesturing不仅仅是关于缺乏控制。它是关于思考和交流的,对两者都有帮助。)”可知,本文主要是说明co-speech gesture在交流中的重要作用。所以A项Co- speech gestures play a vital part in communication.(Co-speech Gestures 是交流的重要组成部分。)符合语境。故选A项。
D
The world’s elderly population is increasing. The number of older people — those aged 60 years or older — is expected to double by 2050 and is growing faster than all younger age groups across the world. That comes with an increasing need for caregivers who can provide 24-hour care, not only at hospitals or nursing homes, but also at private homes.
Already, caregiving robots are programmed to ask questions a nurse would ask and can keep an eye on patients for falls. These robotic assistants are expected to become increasingly marketable and reach 450,000 by 2045 because of the expected caregiver shortage in the United States.
“Unluckily, the hard structure of present caregiving robots prevents them from a safe human-robot interaction, limiting their assistance to only social interaction and not physical interaction,” said Ramses Martinez, an assistant professor in Purdue’s College of Engineering. “After all, would you leave babies or old people in the hands of a robot?”
Recent advances in material science have enabled the production of soft robots with deformable (可变形的) bodies or the ability to reshape themselves when touched, but today the complex design prevents the use of this technology at home.
However, Martinez and other researchers have developed a new design method which shows promise in enabling the production of soft robots using a 3-D printer.
The design process has three steps. First, a user makes a computer-aided design file with the shape of the robot. The user then paints the file to show which directions the different joints of the soft robot will move. It takes the computer a few seconds to change the computer-aided design model into a 3-D soft machine that can be printed using any 3-D printer.
“The soft machines move like humans. Their ability to change their body structure and movement to adapt to a wide variety of environments will improve caregiving greatly,” says Martinez.
The researchers are looking for partners to test and bring their technology to the market.
12 Why does the market urgently need caregiving robots?
A. The basic needs of the nursing homes.
B. The results of advanced technology.
C. The rapid increase in the global aging population.
D. The continuous decrease in birth rate.
13. What makes it difficult for people to accept caregiving robots?
A. They can’t communicate with the patients freely.
B. They can’t offer convincing physical interaction.
C. They can’t update the service in a timely manner.
D. They can’t truly empathize with the old patients.
14. How to evaluate Martinez’s new design method?
A. It allows the computer to fully automate the robot production.
B. It requires a specific 3-D printer to print out a soft robot.
C. It takes a long time to print a soft robot with a 3-D printer.
D. It makes the production of soft robots easier to operate.
15. What is the most important thing for the researchers to do now?
A. Ensure the technology is widely accepted and applied.
B. Train more users to earn money for further research.
C. Ask the manufacturers to produce a variety of products.
D. Investigate the market preferences to guide future development.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. A

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是随着世界老年人人口的不断增长,对护理人员的需求也越来越大,克服了当前护理机器人硬结构的弊端,科技人员研制出了用3D打印机生产软体护理机器人的新的设计方法,并有望在未来投入市场。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据首段中的“The world’s elderly population is increasing. The number of older people — those aged 60 years or older — is expected to double by 2050 and is growing faster than all younger age groups across the world.(世界老年人口正在增加。预计到2050年,60岁或以上的老年人数量将翻一番,其增长速度超过全球所有年轻群体。)”可知,世界老龄人口正在增加,结合下文的“That comes with an increasing need for caregivers who can provide 24-hour care, not only at hospitals or nursing homes, but also at private homes.(随之而来的是,对能够提供24小时护理的护理人员的需求越来越大,不仅在医院或养老院,而且在私人家中。)”可知,由于老龄人口的不断增加,其增长速度超过全球所有年轻群体,所以对能够提供24小时护理的护理人员的需求越来越大,由此可知,市场迫切需要看护机器人的原因是全球老龄化人口的迅速增加。故选C项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的““Unluckily, the hard structure of present caregiving robots prevents them from a safe human-robot interaction, limiting their assistance to only social interaction and not physical interaction,” said Ramses Martinez, an assistant professor in Purdue’s College of Engineering. (普杜大学工程学院助理教授拉姆西斯·马丁内斯说:“不幸的是,目前的看护机器人的硬结构使它们无法进行安全的人机互动,限制了它们的帮助,只进行社交互动,而不是身体互动。”)”可知,目前的看护机器人的硬结构使它们无法进行安全的人机互动,由此可知,它们不能提供令人信服的身体互动使得人们难以接受看护机器人。故选B项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中的“However, Martinez and other researchers have developed a new design method which shows promise in enabling the production of soft robots using a 3-D printer.(然而,马丁内斯和其他研究人员已经开发出一种新的设计方法,有望使用3-D打印机生产软机器人。)”以及第六段中的“It takes the computer a few seconds to change the computer-aided design model into a 3-D soft machine that can be printed using any 3-D printer.(计算机只需几秒钟就能将计算机辅助设计模型转换为可使用任何3-D打印机打印的3-D软机器。)”可知,马丁内斯和其他研究人员开发的新的设计方法能使用3-D打印机生产软机器人,计算机只需要几秒使用任何3-D打印机打印出软体机器人,由此可知,马丁内斯他们设计的机器人使软机器人的生产更容易操作。故选D项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据尾段“The researchers are looking for partners to test and bring their technology to the market.(研究人员正在寻找合作伙伴来测试并将他们的技术推向市场。)”可知,研究人员在寻求合作伙伴测试并将该技术推向市场,这意味着目前最紧迫的任务是确保这项新技术能够得到市场的认可,并且能够实际应用于改善老年人的护理条件,由此可知,研究人员现在要做的最重要的事情确保技术被广泛接受和应用。故选A项。

Have you ever heard someone say, “breakfast is the most important meal of the day”, or give you advice about why it’s vital to start the day with a healthy breakfast? ___16___ Is it really that important? In a sense, it really matters.
Energy restoration
The word “breakfast” comes from “breaking the fast”—the idea of ending the period in which we didn’t eat during the night. When we sleep, our body consumes some of our natural food storage. ___17___ So, in that way, a healthy breakfast makes sense.
Weight management
There are also many often-quoted studies which seem to link a state of obesity with not having breakfast. ___18___ In a US study, 50,000 people were monitored over seven years, and those who ate a healthy breakfast were found to have a lower BMI, which seems to suggest that breakfast may indeed help people maintain a healthy weight.
Better brain function
___19___ Breakfast is also associated with improved brain function, including attention and language. A review of 54 studies found that eating breakfast can improve memory and one of the researchers says there is reasonable evidence that breakfast does improve attention.
What’s most important is what we eat for breakfast. High-protein breakfasts have been found particularly effective in reducing food consumption later in the day. However, studies found that there is no agreement on what type of breakfast is healthier. ___20___
A. Breakfast helps us refill the exhausted stores.
B. Weight-loss is likely to cause them health problems.
C. Breakfast has been found to affect more than just weight.
D. Breakfast types don’t matter as much as simply eating something.
E. Thus it is suggested that a healthy breakfast can control and lose weight.
F. Many people are recommended to manage their weight by not having meals.
G. It seems that this feast, for many of us, is necessary for our day to start well.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Two tickets. Only two tickets to the big basketball game. Three pairs of eyes all focused on the tickets in Dad’s outstretched hand.
Marcus, the oldest, spoke the question running through everyone’s mind, “Only two tickets? But, Dad, which of us gets to go with you?”
“Yeah, Daddy, who gets to go?” repeated Caleb, the youngest.
“Dad, can’t you get any more tickets?” I asked. I might be the in-between sister, but I was just as eager as my basketball-crazy brothers were for a night out with Dad.
“I’m afraid not,” Dad answered. “Mr. Williams only has two tickets. He was thoughtful enough to offer the tickets to me when he found out he’d be out of town this weekend.”
Dad scratched his head, “Caleb, don’t you think you’re a little young to enjoy a professional basketball game…?”“Am not! Am not!” Caleb insisted. Dad shifted his focus and tried again. “Jill, since you’re a girl…” Before I could respond, Mom came to my defense and said, “Jill’s out there practicing with Marcus and all of his friends, and she’s better than quite a few of them, too!”
“Okay, okay,” Dad smiled. “I guess I’ll have to figure out a fair way of choosing between the three of you by tomorrow morning. I’ll have to decide who deserves it most.”
The next morning, Marcus hurried into the kitchen. “Where’s Dad?” he asked. “He and Mom went to pick up some books from the library,” Caleb answered, digging his spoon into a bowl of cereal (麦片).
“And he said we should all get started on our Saturday household chores as soon as we finish breakfast,” I added.
“Chores! He’s got to be kidding. ” Marcus said. “How can we concentrate on chores when the big game is a mere eleven hours away?” “I’m going to play basketball for a while,” Marcus announced.
“Wait for me!” Caleb added and dashed after his brother. The back door slammed shut as the two boys ran down the driveway.
注意:

I looked at the breakfast table in front of me: bits of cereal here and there.

A white envelope was taped to the inside of the rubbish bin lid(盖子).
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1:
I looked at the breakfast table in front of me: bits of cereal here and there. I pushed my chair away from the table, thinking to myself: “It looks like Saturday morning chores start right here.” As I was doing the chores, I heard the basketball bouncing off the driveway. I glanced out of the kitchen window and saw Marcus practicing shooting the basketball while Caleb cheered him on. Frustrated, though, I continued the household chores. I carried the rubbish outside the back door and opened the lid on the rubbish bin.
Paragraph 2:
A white envelope was taped to the inside of the rubbish bin lid (盖子). Someone had written the word “Congratulations!” on the cover. I opened the envelope and pulled out a folded piece of paper, “To the one who deserves to go”, the paper read, and inside of it was a ticket to the basketball game! That evening turned out to be as special as I’d imagined: Two seats at Center Court, and Dad and I cheering our team to victory. It was also a lesson in responsibility from a dad, who let his kids make their own choices and earn their own rewards.
