In fact, showering too often can actually hurt your body in the long run. As Time’s public health column explains, daily showers are common due to social norms more than any proper health need. We connect being freshly showered with being attractive and pleasing, so we tend to showering often to feel better. But what’s the ideal shower frequency? In terms of your health — not how you look or smell — probably once or twice a week, assistant professor of dermatology at George Washington University, Dr. C. Brandon Mitchell says. “Your body is naturally a well-oiled machine,” he says. “A daily shower isn’t necessary.” Of course, your situation may vary. If you have a job like car maintenance or construction, you’ll obviously have a visible layer of dirt you’ll need to wash off every single day. Similarly, if you work out every day, you may not have any health risks by washing every day, but you’ll still be smelly. If you feel like you need to take daily showers for aesthetic(审美的) reasons, at least make most of them light showers. “I tell patients who shower daily not to soap their whole bodies,” Mitchell says. Hit your pits, butt and groin, which are the areas that produce strong smells. The rest of your body doesn’t need much soaping, he says. Too much time spent under the hot water can dry out your skin, cause cracks（裂纹）that can lead to infections or germs getting into your skin, and take away the natural oils on your skin that help keep it healthy. So, even if you’re aiming to be your most presentable, be sure to keep it moderate to avoid hurting your skin in the long run. 4. According to the passage, why do most people shower daily? A. To add to attraction. B. To wash off dirt. C. To meet health need. D. To get relaxation. 5. Which of the following people might be advised to shower once or twice a week? A. Car maintainer. B. Office staff. C. Building workers. D. Gym-goers. 6 The underlined phrase “light showers” in Para. 4 refers to the showers in which ________. A. bright lights are equipped B. less hot water is used C. gentle skin touches are allowed D. a little soaping is involved 7. What is the best title for the text? A. Showering Daily Becomes a Custom B. Daily Shower Does No Good to You C. You Probably Needn’t Shower Daily D. Protect Your Skin When Showering 【答案】4. A 5. B 6. D 7. C 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇科普类文章。本文主要讲了从长远来看，每天淋浴对身体健康有害。如果不是每天身上都会沾污垢或是每天都出很多汗的工作，普通人一周洗一两次澡足够了。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。由第二段 We connect being freshly showered with being attractive and pleasing, so we tend to showering often to feel better.可知多数人每天淋浴是为了增加吸引力，故选A。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。由第四段 If you have a job like car maintenance or construction, you’ll obviously have a visible layer of dirt you’ll need to wash off every single day. Similarly, if you work out every day, you may not have any health risks by washing every day, but you’ll still be smelly.可知每天身上都会沾污垢或是出很多汗的工作，才需要每天洗澡，A、C 和 D 的工作都属于这个类型，故选 B。 6题详解】 词义猜测题。根据下文“I tell patients who shower daily not to soap their whole bodies,” Mitchell says. Hit your pits, butt and groin, which are the areas that produce strong smells. The rest of your body doesn’t need much soaping, he says.可推断“light showers”指的是只在一些部位涂肥皂，而全身不需要太多肥皂的淋浴，故选D。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。本文主要讲了从长远来看，每天淋浴对身体健康有害。如果不是每天身上都会沾污垢或是每天都出很多汗的工作，普通人一周洗一两次澡足够了。所以这篇文章最好的题目是C（你可能不需要每天淋浴）。故选C。 【点睛】阅读理解通常都会出现词义猜测题，要求考生从上下文理解中概括出生词或短语的词义。考生作此类题型时，首先要找到所猜测词所在文章的位置，然后在理解文章大意的基础之上，对此词前后句反复研读，最后根据前后句猜测出词义。例如小题3要求猜测出light showers的含义，就是根据后句“I tell patients who shower daily not to soap their whole bodies,” Mitchell says. Hit your pits, butt and groin, which are the areas that produce strong smells. The rest of your body doesn’t need much soaping, he says.的内容，尤其not to soap their whole bodies和doesn’t need much soaping提示。从而推测出light showers含义。 C Reflection of real culture? Crazy Rich Asians, adapted from Singaporean-American author Kevin Kwan’s 2013 novel of the same name, has become a surprisingly successful Hollywood movie and a hot topic on social media. Without doubt, the film is a rare US film with an all-Asian actors, full of Asian elements, such as characters playing mahjong or using red decorations at a wedding. It could be said that Crazy Rich Asians reflects a new trend in Hollywood for multiculturalism(多元化). Just like fans who praised Black Panther(2018) for featuring African characters, those from Asia now have role models of their own in a Hollywood movie. However, when we take a closer look at the film, we can see that it’s clearly produced for a Western audience. The film is about the funny story of Chinese-American professor Rachel Chu and her rich Singaporean boyfriend Nick Young and his family. According to The Paper, although the movie throws light on Asian culture, it is still a display of American values, instead of those of Asian people. It still can’t help showing the cultural traditions and lifestyle of the US. The romance story even finds its roots in Disney fairy tales. In the movie, the large houses and the fancy parties represent the lives seen in movies like The Great Gatsby (2013) and The Wolf of Wall Street (2013). “There are a lot of people who don’t relate to that…of course there will be lot of fain criticism(批评) about the fact that it doesn’t fully represent the entire population,” wrote Penelope Poulou of VOA News. According to Psychology Today, the film is “not an accurate(准确的) description of most Asians nor is it meant to be”. So, although Crazy Rich Asians doesn’t completely break stereotypes(刻板印象) of Asian people, it’s still a small step in the right direction. And while it’s encouraging to see a movie about Asian people made for a Western audience, it’s obvious that there’s still a long way to go. 8. What can we learn about Crazy Rich Asians? A. It was on show in 2013. B. It is adapted from a TV series. C. It stars all-Asian actors. D. It was shot in China. 9. The author mentioned Black Panther mainly to ______. A. describe the popularity of multiculturalism in the US B. show Hollywood’s efforts in promoting multiculturalism C. stress the differences between the two films D. explain its influence on Crazy Rich Asians 10. Why have some people criticized Crazy Rich Asians? A. It fails to describe real Asian culture. B. It doesn’t change Americans’ stereotypes of Asians. C. It has copied from The Great Gatsby. D. It shows too much American elements. 11. Which word best describes the author’s attitude toward Crazy Rich Asians? A. Subjective. B. Disappointed. C. Objective. D. Doubtful. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了Crazy Rich Asians这部为西方观众制作的关于亚洲人的电影。 【详解】1.细节理解题。根据第二段中的“the film is a rare US film with an all-Asian actors,”(这是一部罕见的全是亚洲演员参演的美国电影)可知，Crazy Rich Asians这部电影全部由亚洲演员出演，故选C。 2.目的意图题。根据第二段中的“It could be said that Crazy Rich Asians reflects a new trend in Hollywood for multiculturalism(多元化).Just like fans who praised Black Panther(2018) for featuring African characters, those from Asia now have role models of their own in a Hollywood movie.”(可以说，Crazy Rich Asians这部电影反映了好莱坞多元文化政策的新趋势。就像粉丝们称赞Black Panther(2018)塑造了非洲人物一样，那些来自亚洲的粉丝现在也在好莱坞电影中有自己的榜样。)可知，Black Panther这部电影塑造了非洲人物，就像Crazy Rich Asians这部电影一样，展示了多元文化，所以可知，作者提到Black Panther这部电影主要是为了展示好莱坞在推广多元文化政策方面所做的努力，故选B。 3.推理判断题。根据根据第三段中的“According to The Paper, although the movie throws light on Asian culture, it is still a display of American values, instead of those of Asian people. It still can’t help showing the cultural traditions and lifestyle of the US.”(据报道，虽然这部电影揭示了亚洲文化，但它仍然是美国价值观的展示，而不是亚洲人的价值观。它仍然显示了，美国的文化传统和生活方式。)和倒数第二段中的“of course there will be lot of fain criticism(批评) about the fact that it doesn’t fully represent the entire population”(当然会有很多人批评这部电影，因为它不能充分展示全部亚洲人)可知，很多人批评这部电影，是因为它未能充分展示全部亚洲人，电影中显示的是美国文化传统和生活方式，所以可以推断出，一些人批评这部电影是因为它未能展示真正的亚洲文化，故选A。 4.观点态度题。根据最后一段中的“So, although Crazy Rich Asians doesn’t completely break stereotypes(刻板印象) of Asian people, it’s still a small step in the right direction. And while it’s encouraging to see a movie about Asian people made for a Western audience, it’s obvious that there’s still a long way to go.”(所以，尽管Crazy Rich Asians这部电影，并没有完全打破对亚洲人的刻板印象，但这仍然是朝正确方向迈出的一小步。虽然看到一部关于亚洲人的电影，是为西方观众制作的，这很令人鼓舞，但实际表明还有很长的路要走。)可知，作者认为Crazy Rich Asians这部电影虽然没有完全打破对亚洲人的刻板印象，但是它确实朝着正确的方向迈出了一小步，这部关于亚洲人的电影，是为西方观众制作的，这是令人鼓舞的，但是还需要有很多方面改进，所以可以推断出作者对Crazy Rich Asians这部电影既有好的评价也有不好的评价，所以说作者的态度是客观的，C选项“Objective.”(客观的)符合，A. Subjective主观的；B. Disappointed失望的；D. Doubtful怀疑的，均不符，故选C。 D Scientists have an unlikely new helper while exploring the Earth’s crust (地壳) deep beneath the ocean: Fin whales. New research, published Thursday in Science, finds these Fin whale calls’ sound waves can help create images of the seafloor down to 2. 5 kilometers. Seafloor imaging, which is important for studying things like earthquake mechanics and carbon storage capacity, usually uses large air guns that send waves of sound downwards. The sound waves go through the crust and bounce back to instruments on the seafloor, carrying information about the structures they travel through. But such surveys are expensive, and the guns’ explosive noise may interrupt sea creatures that use sound to communicate. Vaclav Kuna, the study co-author, was studying earthquakes when he noticed strange readings on the seafloor seismic (地震的) instruments, which turned out to match the frequencies of fin whale calls. Whale songs often appear in such instruments’ records, says Emily Roland, a marine seismologist at the University of Washington. Seismologists usually see these signals as annoyance. Kuna, however, noticed that the signals were not coming directly from the whales, but were echoes bouncing back from within the crust. This technique does have limitations, Kuna says. Fin whale songs are limited in frequency, meaning the subsurface images are not as clear as those made with air guns. Additionally, a relatively flat seafloor is needed to triangulate (作三角测量) the whales’ positions while multiple stations would be needed in uneven or mountainous regions, he says. Nevertheless, these whales are found almost everywhere except the ice-covered areas of the Arctic. The whale calls’ wide existence means they could provide new insight into old seismic datasets, Roland says. “At least the whale songs can serve as an additional source of signals. They are free and they are always there,” Kuna says. “It’s a win-win.” 12. What do we know about seafloor imaging in Paragraph 2? A. It may affect some sea animals. B. It can help predict earthquakes. C. It is not completely accurate. D. It is environmentally-friendly. 13. What can we infer about fin whale calls? A. They can help scientists to locate their habitats. B. They are easy to record and measure in the ocean. C. They are likely to be used for seafloor imaging. D. They have different frequencies among fin whales. 14. What is the potential use of fin whale songs? A. Exchanging messages between whales. B. Working as an extra source of signals. C. Providing useful insights into whales. D. Exploring the ice-covered areas of the Arctic. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. Fin Whale Calls Reveal Structure beneath Ocean Floor B. Fin Whales Communicate by Singing Special Songs C. Fin Whale Protection Is a Win-win Move for All D. Seafloor Imaging Helps to Locate More Resources 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。研究发现，长须鲸的叫声可以帮助创造海底图像，进而帮助科学家们探索地壳结构。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段第一句“Seafloor imaging, which is important for studying things like earthquake mechanics and carbon storage capacity, usually uses large air guns that send waves of sound downwards. (海底成像对于研究地震力学和碳储存能力等东西很重要，通常使用大型气枪向下发送声波。)”和第三句“But such surveys are expensive, and the guns’ explosive noise may interrupt sea creatures that use sound to communicate.(但是这样的调查是昂贵的，而且炮声的爆炸式噪音可能会干扰海洋生物利用声音进行交流。)”可知，海底成像可能会影响一些海洋动物。故选A项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段第二句“ Fin whale songs are limited in frequency, meaning the subsurface images are not as clear as those made with air guns. (长须鲸的歌声频率有限，这意味着水下图像不像用气枪拍摄的那样清晰。)” 可知，长须鲸的叫声可能用于海底成像，虽然不是很清晰。故选C项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段倒数第二句““At least the whale songs can serve as an additional source of signals. They are free and they are always there,” Kuna says.( “至少鲸鱼的歌声可以作为另一种信号来源。他们是免费的，他们总是在那里，”库纳说。)”可知，长须鲸的歌声的一个潜在用途是它作为一个额外的信号源。故选B项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“Scientists have an unlikely new helper while exploring the Earth’s crust (地壳) deep beneath the ocean: Fin whales. New research, published Thursday in Science, finds these Fin whale calls’ sound waves can help create images of the seafloor down to 2. 5 kilometers.(科学家在探索深海地壳时，有了一个意想不到的新帮手：长须鲸。周四发表在《科学》杂志上的一项新研究发现，这些长须鲸的叫声的声波可以帮助创造海底2英尺以下的图像。5公里。”可知本文主要讲了长须鲸的叫声可以帮助创造海底图像，进而帮助科学家们探索地壳结构。A项“长须鲸的叫声揭示了海底的结构。)”作为标题，可以总结全文。故选A项。 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Nowadays, in many places of the world, kids play soccer less than before. ___16___ Besides, many parents don’t know soccer’s real help to kids.

Tim, a classmate of Jim was also participating in the running race. He was not a fast runner. However, he was very devoted and practiced till late night and had developed great endurance (耐力) and willpower (意志) to win the race. There were a few days left for the Sports Day but Jim did not practice at all. On the other hand, Tim practiced day and night.

Here are some of the best places to visit in the UK. Cambridge Cambridge is a beautiful English city located on the River Cam just north of London. As the home to one of the world’s top universities, the University of Cambridge, it has all of the cultural and entertainment choices you might expect from a college town. Chester Located on the River Dee in Cheshire, England, Chester is more than 2,000 years old, which means there is plenty of history, culture and architecture lasting several centuries. The ancient walls around the city are one of Chester’s biggest tourist attractions. Stonehenge One of the most famous sites in the world,Stonehenge consists of earthworks surrouding a circular setting of large standing stone in southwest England.It is also home to some of the most important Neolithic and Bronze Age finds and structures in the UK. It was not until 1600 BC that Stonehenge came to be completed. Lake Distric Located in northwest England, the Lake District is the second largest National Park in the UK. The main attractions are the lakes, mountains and hills. It is England’s famous destination for hiking and climbing. 1. What will you do in Cambridge? A. Do various shopping. B. Meet famous people. C. Visit the top university. D. Enjoy wonderful music. 2 Which destination will you choose if you want to go hiking? A. Cambridge. B. Chester. C. Stonehenge. D. Lake district. 3. What is the purpose of the test? A. to compare four tourist attractions in the UK B. to encourage people to have a holiday in the UK C to list some of the best holiday activities in the UK D. to recommend some tourist attractions in the UK B If you’re showering every day, you’re probably over doing it. In fact, showering too often can actually hurt your body in the long run. As Time’s public health column explains, daily showers are common due to social norms more than any proper health need. We connect being freshly showered with being attractive and pleasing, so we tend to showering often to feel better. But what’s the ideal shower frequency? In terms of your health — not how you look or smell — probably once or twice a week, assistant professor of dermatology at George Washington University, Dr. C. Brandon Mitchell says. “Your body is naturally a well-oiled machine,” he says. “A daily shower isn’t necessary.” Of course, your situation may vary. If you have a job like car maintenance or construction, you’ll obviously have a visible layer of dirt you’ll need to wash off every single day. Similarly, if you work out every day, you may not have any health risks by washing every day, but you’ll still be smelly. If you feel like you need to take daily showers for aesthetic(审美的) reasons, at least make most of them light showers. “I tell patients who shower daily not to soap their whole bodies,” Mitchell says. Hit your pits, butt and groin, which are the areas that produce strong smells. The rest of your body doesn’t need much soaping, he says. Too much time spent under the hot water can dry out your skin, cause cracks（裂纹）that can lead to infections or germs getting into your skin, and take away the natural oils on your skin that help keep it healthy. So, even if you’re aiming to be your most presentable, be sure to keep it moderate to avoid hurting your skin in the long run. 4. According to the passage, why do most people shower daily? A. To add to attraction. B. To wash off dirt. C. To meet health need. D. To get relaxation. 5. Which of the following people might be advised to shower once or twice a week? A. Car maintainer. B. Office staff. C Building workers. D. Gym-goers. 6. The underlined phrase “light showers” in Para. 4 refers to the showers in which ________. A. bright lights are equipped B. less hot water is used C. gentle skin touches are allowed D. a little soaping is involved 7. What is the best title for the text? A. Showering Daily Becomes a Custom B. Daily Shower Does No Good to You C. You Probably Needn’t Shower Daily D. Protect Your Skin When Showering C Reflection of real culture? Crazy Rich Asians, adapted from Singaporean-American author Kevin Kwan’s 2013 novel of the same name, has become a surprisingly successful Hollywood movie and a hot topic on social media. Without doubt, the film is a rare US film with an all-Asian actors, full of Asian elements, such as characters playing mahjong or using red decorations at a wedding. It could be said that Crazy Rich Asians reflects a new trend in Hollywood for multiculturalism(多元化). Just like fans who praised Black Panther(2018) for featuring African characters, those from Asia now have role models of their own in a Hollywood movie. However, when we take a closer look at the film, we can see that it’s clearly produced for a Western audience. The film is about the funny story of Chinese-American professor Rachel Chu and her rich Singaporean boyfriend Nick Young and his family. According to The Paper, although the movie throws light on Asian culture, it is still a display of American values, instead of those of Asian people. It still can’t help showing the cultural traditions and lifestyle of the US. The romance story even finds its roots in Disney fairy tales. In the movie, the large houses and the fancy parties represent the lives seen in movies like The Great Gatsby (2013) and The Wolf of Wall Street (2013). “There are a lot of people who don’t relate to that…of course there will be lot of fain criticism(批评) about the fact that it doesn’t fully represent the entire population,” wrote Penelope Poulou of VOA News. According to Psychology Today, the film is “not an accurate(准确的) description of most Asians nor is it meant to be”. So, although Crazy Rich Asians doesn’t completely break stereotypes(刻板印象) of Asian people, it’s still a small step in the right direction. And while it’s encouraging to see a movie about Asian people made for a Western audience, it’s obvious that there’s still a long way to go. 8. What can we learn about Crazy Rich Asians? A. It was on show in 2013. B. It is adapted from a TV series. C. It stars all-Asian actors. D. It was shot in China. 9. The author mentioned Black Panther mainly to ______. A. describe the popularity of multiculturalism in the US B. show Hollywood’s efforts in promoting multiculturalism C. stress the differences between the two films D. explain its influence on Crazy Rich Asians 10. Why have some people criticized Crazy Rich Asians? A. It fails to describe real Asian culture. B. It doesn’t change Americans’ stereotypes of Asians. C. It has copied from The Great Gatsby. D. It shows too much American elements. 11. Which word best describes the author’s attitude toward Crazy Rich Asians? A. Subjective. B. Disappointed. C. Objective. D. Doubtful. D Scientists have an unlikely new helper while exploring the Earth’s crust (地壳) deep beneath the ocean: Fin whales. New research published Thursday in Science, finds these Fin whale calls’ sound waves can help create images of the seafloor down to 2. 5 kilometers. Seafloor imaging, which is important for studying things like earthquake mechanics and carbon storage capacity, usually uses large air guns that send waves of sound downwards. The sound waves go through the crust and bounce back to instruments on the seafloor, carrying information about the structures they travel through. But such surveys are expensive, and the guns’ explosive noise may interrupt sea creatures that use sound to communicate. Vaclav Kuna, the study co-author, was studying earthquakes when he noticed strange readings on the seafloor seismic (地震的) instruments, which turned out to match the frequencies of fin whale calls. Whale songs often appear in such instruments’ records, says Emily Roland, a marine seismologist at the University of Washington. Seismologists usually see these signals as annoyance. Kuna, however, noticed that the signals were not coming directly from the whales, but were echoes bouncing back from within the crust. This technique does have limitations, Kuna says. Fin whale songs are limited in frequency, meaning the subsurface images are not as clear as those made with air guns. Additionally, a relatively flat seafloor is needed to triangulate (作三角测量) the whales’ positions while multiple stations would be needed in uneven or mountainous regions, he says. Nevertheless, these whales are found almost everywhere except the ice-covered areas of the Arctic. The whale calls’ wide existence means they could provide new insight into old seismic datasets, Roland says. “At least the whale songs can serve as an additional source of signals. They are free and they are always there,” Kuna says. “It’s a win-win.” 12. What do we know about seafloor imaging in Paragraph 2? A. It may affect some sea animals. B. It can help predict earthquakes. C. It is not completely accurate. D. It is environmentally-friendly. 13. What can we infer about fin whale calls? A. They can help scientists to locate their habitats. B. They are easy to record and measure in the ocean. C. They are likely to be used for seafloor imaging. D. They have different frequencies among fin whales. 14. What is the potential use of fin whale songs? A. Exchanging messages between whales. B. Working as an extra source of signals. C. Providing useful insights into whales. D. Exploring the ice-covered areas of the Arctic. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. Fin Whale Calls Reveal Structure beneath Ocean Floor B. Fin Whales Communicate by Singing Special Songs C. Fin Whale Protection Is a Win-win Move for All D. Seafloor Imaging Helps to Locate More Resources 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Nowadays, in many places of the world, kids play soccer less than before. ___16___ Besides, many parents don’t know soccer’s real help to kids.
