There was a pool at the YMCA offering exactly the opportunity. My mother continually warned against it, and kept fresh in my mind the details of each drowning in the river. But the YMCA pool was safe. I had a childhood fear of water. This started when I was three years old and my father took me to the beach.The huge waves knocked me down and swept over me. The pool was quiet. I was afraid of going in all alone, so I sat on one side of the pool to wait for others. Then came a big boy. He yelled, “Hi, how’d you like to be ducked?” With that he picked me up and threw me into the deep end.I landed in a sitting position, and swallowed water. But I was not frightened out of my wits—when my feet hit the bottom, I would make a big jump to come out of the surface. It seemed a long way down. I gathered all my strength when I landed and made what I thought was a great spring upwards. Then I opened my eyes and saw nothing but water. I tried to yell but no sound came out. I went down, down, endlessly. When I came to consciousness, I found myself lying on the bed in the hospital. I never went back to the pool. I avoided water whenever I could. This misadventure stayed with me as the years rolled by.It deprived(剥夺) me of the joy of boating and swimming. Finally, I decided to get an instructor. Piece by piece, he built a swimmer. Several months later, the instructor was finished, but I was not .Sometimes the terror would return.  This went on until July. I swam across the Lake Went worth.Only once did the terror return. When I was in the middle of the lake, I put my face under and saw nothing but bottomless water. I laughed and said, “Well, Mr Terror, what do you think you can do to me?” I had conquered my fear of water. 4. What was the author’s original fear of water caused by? A. His poor skill in swimming. B His mother’s warning of drowning. C. An outing to the beach with his father. D. An unpleasant memory of the pool. 5. Why was the author not scared to death when he was thrown into the water? A. He knew how to swim in the pool. B. He felt that the YMCA pool was safe. C. He was waiting for others to save him. D. He came up with an idea to go upwards. 6. What does the author probably mean by expressing “but I was not” in Paragraph 5? A. He was still a poor swimmer. B. He had not overcome the fear yet. C. He was not afraid of drowning any more. D. He was not satisfied with the swimming training. 7. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Goodbye,Mr Terror B. Hello,Childhood Fear C. A Swimming Adventure D. My Passion for Swimming 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者小时候和父亲去海滩的遭遇使作者开始害怕水，直到自己游过温特沃思湖时，才克服对水的恐惧的经历。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“I had a childhood fear of water. This started when I was three years old and my father took me to the beach. The huge waves knocked me down and swept over me.”（我小时候就怕水。这始于我三岁的时候，我父亲带我去海滩。巨浪把我打倒，把我卷了过去。）可知，作者最初对水的恐惧是和他父亲去海滩郊游引起的。故选C项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“But I was not frightened out of my wits—when my feet hit the bottom, I would make a big jump to come out of the surface. It seemed a long way down. I gathered all my strength when I landed and made what I thought was a great spring upwards.”（但我并没有被吓得魂飞神离——当我的脚触到底部时，我就会跳得很大，从水面上跳出来。这似乎是一条很长的路。当我上岸的时候，我集中了所有的力量，向上跳了一个我认为很大的跳。）可推知，作者认为自己找到了向上跳出水面的方法，所以他没有害怕。故选D项。 【6题详解】 词义猜测题。根据划线部分上文“Finally, I decided to get an instructor. Piece by piece, he built a swimmer. Several months later, the instructor was finished,”（最后，我决定找个教练。他一点一点地打造了一个游泳者。几个月后，教练的工作结束了）以及下文“Sometimes the terror would return.”（有时恐惧又会回来。）由此可推知but I was not，为“作者还没有克服恐惧”的意思。故选B项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及最后一段中“When I was in the middle of the lake, I put my face under and saw nothing but bottomless water. I laughed and said, “Well, Mr Terror, what do you think you can do to me?” I had conquered my fear of water.”（当我走到湖中央时，我把脸埋在下面，除了看不到底的水什么也没看到。我笑着说：“好吧，恐怖先生，你觉得你能把我怎么样？”我已经克服了对水的恐惧。）可知，作者主要对自己从小害怕水又到克服水的经历的描述。故文章最好的标题是“再见，恐惧先生”。故选A项。 C You’ll probably never go to Mars or sing on the stage with the Rolling Stones. But if virtual reality (VR) ever lives up to its promise, you might be able to do all these things — and many more — without even leaving your home. Unlike real reality, virtual reality means simulating (模仿) bits of our world. Apart from games and entertainment, it’s long been used for training airline pilots and surgeons and for helping scientists to figure out complex problems such as the structure of protein molecules (分子). Then how does it work? Close your eyes and think of virtual reality and you probably picture something like this: a man wearing a wrap-around headset and data gloves wired into a powerful workstation or supercomputer. What distinguishes VR from an ordinary computer experience is the nature of the input and output. Where an ordinary computer uses things like a keyboard, mouse, or speech recognition for input, VR uses sensors that detect how your body is moving. And where a PC displays output on a screen, VR uses two screens (one for each eye), surround-sound speakers, and maybe some forms of touch and body feedback as well. VR has been routinely used by scientists, doctors, dentists, engineers, architects, archaeologists, and the military for about the last 30 years. Difficult and dangerous jobs are hard to train for. How can you safely practice taking a trip to space, making a parachute jump, or carrying out brain surgery? All these things are obvious candidates for virtual reality applications. Like any technology, virtual reality has both good and bad points. Critics always raise the risk that people may be addicted to alternative realities to the point of ignoring their real-world lives — but that criticism has been leveled at everything from radio and TV to computer games and the Internet. Like many technologies, VR takes little or nothing away from the real world: you don’t have to use it if you don’t want to. 8. What equipment do we probably need for virtual reality? A. A keyboard, a headset and a supercomputer. B. A headset, data gloves and a speech recognition. C. A headset, data gloves and a supercomputer. D. A keyboard, a mouse and a speech recognition. 9. Paragraph 3 is mainly about . A. the principles of virtual reality B. the applications of virtual reality C. the history of virtual reality D. the influences of virtual reality 10. According to the passage, virtual reality means . A. imagining beautiful things in our mind B. creating something that doesn’t exist C. experiencing things that don’t really exist D. cloning something that has died out 11. What is the writer’s attitude towards VR? A. Appreciative. B. Cautious. C. Skeptical. D. Indifferent. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本文主要介绍了虚拟现实技术的应用以及人们对这种技术的态度。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“a man wearing a wrap-around headset and data gloves wired into a powerful workstation or supercomputer.(一个人戴着环绕式耳机和数据手套，与一台强大的工作站或超级计算机相连)”可知，虚拟现实需要一个头戴耳机、数据手套和超级计算机。故选C。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。由段落主题句“All these things are obvious candidates for virtual reality applications.(所有这些都是虚拟现实应用的明显候选)”可知，这一段主要讲了虚拟现实的应用，故选B。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“You’ll probably never go to Mars or sing on the stage with the Rolling Stones. But if virtual reality (VR) ever lives up to its promise, you might be able to do all these things — and many more — without even leaving your home.(你可能永远不会去火星，也不会和滚石乐队一起在舞台上唱歌。但是，如果虚拟现实（VR）能够实现它的承诺，你甚至不需要离开家就可以做所有这些事情——甚至更多)”可知，虚拟现实指的是经历一些实际上不存在的东西。故选C。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“All these things are obvious candidates for virtual reality applications.(所有这些都是虚拟现实应用的明显候选)”和最后一段中“but that criticism has been leveled at everything from radio and TV to computer games and the Internet. Like many technologies, VR takes little or nothing away from the real world: you don’t have to use it if you don’t want to.(但这种批评已经针对从广播、电视到电脑游戏和互联网的一切事物。像许多技术一样，虚拟现实几乎没有从现实世界中吸取任何东西：如果你不想使用它，你可以不使用它)”可知，作者对虚拟现实持赞赏态度。故选A。 D We all know that a healthy life means getting both plenty of exercise and enough good-quality sleep, but reality often gets in the way. The new research indicates that doing enough exercise could make up for some of the unhealthy impacts of bad sleep. While the health benefits of exercise and sleep are nothing new, it's the relationship between them that is interesting in this particular study — it could even give doctors another option to suggest for patients dealing with sleep problems. “We found those who had both the poorest sleep quality and who exercised the least were most at risk of death from heart disease, stroke, and cancer,” says epidemiologist Bo-Huei Huang, from the University of Sydney in Australia. Participants were grouped into three levels of physical activity (high, medium or low) and were also given a sleep quality score from 0-5 based on the amount of shut-eye they got, how late they stayed up, insomnia, snoring and daytime sleepiness. Those with the highest risk of dying from cancer or heart disease during the study period were those with the worst quality sleep and who didn't meet the WHO recommended guidelines for exercise. That risk went down for people with poor quality sleep but who did meet the exercise guidelines. In the case of all forms of cancer, for example, those at the unhealthiest end of the sleep and exercise scale had a 45 percent higher risk of dying from cancer than those with good sleep scores who kept physically active. However, that risk just about disappeared for those who didn't score well on sleep but did score well on physical activity. For now it's not clear why more exercise might make up for poor sleep, as far as our health goes. It could be that the increased activity is counteracting inflammation (炎症), or reducing irregularities in glucose metabolism, suggest the researchers. “Considering that physical activity is perhaps more modifiable than sleep, our study offers people more health incentives to be physically active.” says population health researcher Emmanuel Stamatakis, from the University of Sydney. 12. This research is of particular interest in that ________. A. it’s in this study that exercise is known to be beneficial to sleep. B. this study offers people more health treatments to be physical active. C. it could enable doctors to cure patients of their sleeping condition. D. the relationship between exercise and sleep is updated in this study. 13. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage? A. Those who had the poorest sleep quality were most at risk of death from heart disease. B. Those scoring lowest on sleep and exercise scale were more likely to die from cancer. C. There’s no risk of cancer for those who didn't sleep well but did score well on physical activity. D. It's evident that in terms of health more exercise could make up for poor sleep. 14. What does the underlined word in Paragraph 6 mean? A. interacting B. increasing C. preventing D. causing 15. Where can this passage most probably be taken from? A. A research findings report B. A medical examination report C. A poor sleep study report D. A physical activity study report 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【分析】本文是说明文。本文介绍了一项关于锻炼和睡眠与健康之间的关系的研究，研究发现睡眠质量最差且很少锻炼的人死于心脏病、中风和癌症的机率比睡眠质量好且经常锻炼的人高45%，但对于一个睡眠质量不高但经常锻炼的人，这种风险差异几乎就消失了。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“While the health benefits of exercise and sleep are nothing new, it's the relationship between them that is interesting in this particular study.(虽然锻炼和睡眠对健康的好处并不是什么新鲜事，但在这项特别的研究中，它们之间的关系才是有趣的)”可知，这项研究想弄清楚锻炼和睡眠与健康之间的关系，希望通过研究有新的发现，这也是这项研究的关注点所在。故选D项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“We found those who had both the poorest sleep quality and who exercised the least were most at risk of death from heart disease, stroke, and cancer(我们发现，那些睡眠质量最差和锻炼最少的人死于心脏病、中风和癌症的风险最大)”可知，睡眠质量最差和锻炼最少的人更可能死于心脏病、中风和癌症。故选B项。 【14题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第六段“For now it's not clear why more exercise might make up for poor sleep(目前还不清楚为什么更多的运动可以弥补睡眠不足)”可知，运动量的增加可以弥补睡眠不足带来的不良影响，下文“It could be that the increased activity is counteracting inflammation (炎症), or reducing irregularities in glucose metabolism, suggest the researchers.(研究人员指出，可能是运动量的增加counteracting炎症，或减少葡萄糖代谢中的不当行为) ”中在试图解释为什么运动量的增加可以产生正向的作用，那么“the increased activity is counteracting inflammation (炎症)”中划线词应该是“阻止、阻碍”，即运动量的增加可以阻止炎症的发生，C项preventing表示“阻止，预防”，符合句意。故选C项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文可知，本文介绍了一项关于锻炼和睡眠与健康之间的关系的研究，并介绍了研究的结论：睡眠质量最差且很少锻炼的人死于心脏病、中风和癌症的机率比睡眠质量好且经常锻炼的人高45%，但对于一个睡眠质量不高但经常锻炼的人来说，这种风险差异几乎就消失了，由此推知，本文选自研究结论报告。故选A项。 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。 How to Be a Good Friend A good friend, who wouldn’t want one?

B At eleven, I decided to learn to swim. There was a pool at the YMCA offering exactly the opportunity. My mother continually warned against it, and kept fresh in my mind the details of each drowning in the river. But the YMCA pool was safe. I had a childhood fear of water. This started when I was three years old and my father took me to the beach.The huge waves knocked me down and swept over me. The pool was quiet. I was afraid of going in all alone, so I sat on one side of the pool to wait for others. Then came a big boy. He yelled, “Hi, how’d you like to be ducked?” With that he picked me up and threw me into the deep end.I landed in a sitting position, and swallowed water. But I was not frightened out of my wits—when my feet hit the bottom, I would make a big jump to come out of the surface. It seemed a long way down. I gathered all my strength when I landed and made what I thought was a great spring upwards. Then I opened my eyes and saw nothing but water. I tried to yell but no sound came out. I went down, down, endlessly. When I came to consciousness, I found myself lying on the bed in the hospital. I never went back to the pool. I avoided water whenever I could. This misadventure stayed with me as the years rolled by.It deprived(剥夺) me of the joy of boating and swimming. Finally, I decided to get an instructor. Piece by piece, he built a swimmer. Several months later, the instructor was finished, but I was not .Sometimes the terror would return.  This went on until July. I swam across the Lake Went worth.Only once did the terror return. When I was in the middle of the lake, I put my face under and saw nothing but bottomless water. I laughed and said, “Well, Mr Terror, what do you think you can do to me?” I had conquered my fear of water. 4. What was the author’s original fear of water caused by? A. His poor skill in swimming.

My Passion for Swimming C You’ll probably never go to Mars or sing on the stage with the Rolling Stones. But if virtual reality (VR) ever lives up to its promise, you might be able to do all these things — and many more — without even leaving your home. Unlike real reality, virtual reality means simulating (模仿) bits of our world. Apart from games and entertainment, it’s long been used for training airline pilots and surgeons and for helping scientists to figure out complex problems such as the structure of protein molecules (分子). Then how does it work? Close your eyes and think of virtual reality and you probably picture something like this: a man wearing a wrap-around headset and data gloves wired into a powerful workstation or supercomputer. What distinguishes VR from an ordinary computer experience is the nature of the input and output. Where an ordinary computer uses things like a keyboard, mouse, or speech recognition for input, VR uses sensors that detect how your body is moving. And where a PC displays output on a screen, VR uses two screens (one for each eye), surround-sound speakers, and maybe some forms of touch and body feedback as well. VR has been routinely used by scientists, doctors, dentists, engineers, architects, archaeologists, and the military for about the last 30 years. Difficult and dangerous jobs are hard to train for. How can you safely practice taking a trip to space, making a parachute jump, or carrying out brain surgery? All these things are obvious candidates for virtual reality applications. Like any technology, virtual reality has both good and bad points. Critics always raise the risk that people may be addicted to alternative realities to the point of ignoring their real-world lives — but that criticism has been leveled at everything from radio and TV to computer games and the Internet. Like many technologies, VR takes little or nothing away from the real world: you don’t have to use it if you don’t want to. 8. What equipment do we probably need for virtual reality? A. A keyboard, a headset and a supercomputer. B. A headset, data gloves and a speech recognition. C. A headset, data gloves and a supercomputer. D. A keyboard, a mouse and a speech recognition. 9. Paragraph 3 is mainly about . A. the principles of virtual reality B. the applications of virtual reality C. the history of virtual reality D. the influences of virtual reality 10. According to the passage, virtual reality means . A. imagining beautiful things in our mind B. creating something that doesn’t exist C. experiencing things that don’t really exist D. cloning something that has died out 11. What is the writer’s attitude towards VR? A. Appreciative. B. Cautious. C. Skeptical. D. Indifferent. D We all know that a healthy life means getting both plenty of exercise and enough good-quality sleep, but reality often gets in the way. The new research indicates that doing enough exercise could make up for some of the unhealthy impacts of bad sleep. While the health benefits of exercise and sleep are nothing new, it's the relationship between them that is interesting in this particular study — it could even give doctors another option to suggest for patients dealing with sleep problems. “We found those who had both the poorest sleep quality and who exercised the least were most at risk of death from heart disease, stroke, and cancer,” says epidemiologist Bo-Huei Huang, from the University of Sydney in Australia. Participants were grouped into three levels of physical activity (high, medium or low) and were also given a sleep quality score from 0-5 based on the amount of shut-eye they got, how late they stayed up, insomnia, snoring and daytime sleepiness. Those with the highest risk of dying from cancer or heart disease during the study period were those with the worst quality sleep and who didn't meet the WHO recommended guidelines for exercise. That risk went down for people with poor quality sleep but who did meet the exercise guidelines. In the case of all forms of cancer, for example, those at the unhealthiest end of the sleep and exercise scale had a 45 percent higher risk of dying from cancer than those with good sleep scores who kept physically active. However, that risk just about disappeared for those who didn't score well on sleep but did score well on physical activity. For now it's not clear why more exercise might make up for poor sleep, as far as our health goes. It could be that the increased activity is counteracting inflammation (炎症), or reducing irregularities in glucose metabolism, suggest the researchers. “Considering that physical activity is perhaps more modifiable than sleep, our study offers people more health incentives to be physically active.” says population health researcher Emmanuel Stamatakis, from the University of Sydney. 12. This research is of particular interest in that ________. A. it’s in this study that exercise is known to be beneficial to sleep. B. this study offers people more health treatments to be physical active. C. it could enable doctors to cure patients of their sleeping condition. D. the relationship between exercise and sleep is updated in this study. 13. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage? A. Those who had the poorest sleep quality were most at risk of death from heart disease. B. Those scoring lowest on sleep and exercise scale were more likely to die from cancer. C. There’s no risk of cancer for those who didn't sleep well but did score well on physical activity. D. It's evident that in terms of health more exercise could make up for poor sleep. 14. What does the underlined word in Paragraph 6 mean? A. interacting B. increasing C. preventing D. causing 15. Where can this passage most probably be taken from? A. A research findings report B. A medical examination report C. A poor sleep study report D. A physical activity study report 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。 How to Be a Good Friend A good friend, who wouldn’t want one?
