There is a famous English saying“You are what you eat”,and it means what you put in your mouth will become part of you.Many experts(专家)useitto tell people it’s important to have a good eating habit.For example,too much sweet food makes a person overweight.To avoid being fat,kids are told to keep off sweet food.However,a team of American scientists have discovered something new about eating sweet food.
“When we say some people‘sweet’,we mean they are kind and friendly to us.Perhaps this word can help us learn more about people’s feelings and acts,”said Brian Meier,a scientist from the study team.“Taste is something we experience every day.What we have done is to find whether we can know someone’s character and behavior depending on their taste.”
In one of their experiments,college students were asked questions about their character—whether,for example,they were soft-hearted or not.Then they were asked to make a list of their favorite food.According to their answers,the scientists found that the students who liked sweet food were nicer.
In their another experiment,the scientists found that people who preferred sweet food such as cookies and chocolate were more willing to help other people in need,and those who ate non-sweet food such as chips weren’t.For example,people with a sweet tooth were more likely to volunteer to clean up their city,visit sick children in the hospital and so on.
The result of the experiments is that people’s helpfulness or being nice has something to do with their taste for sweet food.So eating sweet food is a useful way to make people nice and helpful.Next time,try some ice cream.
57. The underlined word“it”refers to(指代)________.
A. the sweet food B. the eating habit
C. the American team D. the English saying
58. According to the result of the experiments,sweet food makes people________.
A. overweight B. excited C. relaxed D. friendly
59. The scientists found that the people who preferred________were less helpful.
A. ice cream B. chocolate C. chips D. cookies
60. It can be learnt from the passage that________.
A. scientists asked college students questions about their future
B. scientists told college students not to eat sweet food
C. people with a sweet tooth are more willing to help others
D. people’s character has nothing to do with their taste

There are lots of natural disasters every year. ___61___
Typhoons (台风) are some of the worst storms, usually around the Pacific Ocean (太平洋) and the South China Sea. Most happen in July, August and September.
How does a typhoon happen? When lots of sea water gets hot in the summer sun, it evaporates (蒸发) into the air. This makes the air hotter. ___62___ Then cooler air around it rushes in. It fills the space that is left. After the air gets warmer, it starts to move quickly, making wind. The wind goes in circles and it keeps moving higher in the sky. The warmer the air gets, the quicker the wind moves. And when wind moves faster than 30 metres a second, a typhoon begins.
A typhoon has two parts. One is called the “eye”. ___63___ The other part is the wall of clouds around the eye. Here are the strongest winds and hardest rains.
Typhoons are very dangerous. In November in 2013, Typhoon Haiyan killed 6,000 people in Philippines. ___64___

There is a famous English saying“You are what you eat”,and it means what you put in your mouth will become part of you.Many experts(专家)useitto tell people it’s important to have a good eating habit.For example,too much sweet food makes a person overweight.To avoid being fat,kids are told to keep off sweet food.However,a team of American scientists have discovered something new about eating sweet food.
“When we say some people‘sweet’,we mean they are kind and friendly to us.Perhaps this word can help us learn more about people’s feelings and acts,”said Brian Meier,a scientist from the study team.“Taste is something we experience every day.What we have done is to find whether we can know someone’s character and behavior depending on their taste.”
In one of their experiments,college students were asked questions about their character—whether,for example,they were soft-hearted or not.Then they were asked to make a list of their favorite food.According to their answers,the scientists found that the students who liked sweet food were nicer.
In their another experiment,the scientists found that people who preferred sweet food such as cookies and chocolate were more willing to help other people in need,and those who ate non-sweet food such as chips weren’t.For example,people with a sweet tooth were more likely to volunteer to clean up their city,visit sick children in the hospital and so on.
The result of the experiments is that people’s helpfulness or being nice has something to do with their taste for sweet food.So eating sweet food is a useful way to make people nice and helpful.Next time,try some ice cream.
57. The underlined word“it”refers to(指代)________.
A. the sweet food B. the eating habit
C. the American team D. the English saying
58. According to the result of the experiments,sweet food makes people________.
A. overweight B. excited C. relaxed D. friendly
59. The scientists found that the people who preferred________were less helpful.
A. ice cream B. chocolate C. chips D. cookies
60. It can be learnt from the passage that________.
A. scientists asked college students questions about their future
B. scientists told college students not to eat sweet food
C. people with a sweet tooth are more willing to help others
D. people’s character has nothing to do with their taste

【答案】herself
【解析】
【详解】句意:安娜找吉尔帮忙,因为她发现自己很难做出这道题。根据“she found it hard to work out the problem by…”可知,此处是by oneself“独自”,所以用she的反身代词形式,故填herself。
67. I have poor eyesight. I can’t see the words on the blackboard ________. (clear)
【答案】clearly
【解析】
【详解】句意:我的视力不好。我看不清黑板上的字。空处修饰动词see,应该用clear的副词clearly“清楚地”。故填clearly。
68. The little boy ________ a lot and felt sick after playing football in the rain. (cough)

【解析】
【详解】句意:在雨中踢足球后,小男孩咳嗽得很厉害,而且觉得不舒服。cough“咳嗽”,根据“felt”可知,是一般过去时,动词用过去式,故填coughed。
69. We all know that ________ speak louder than words. (act)
【答案】actions
【解析】
【详解】句意:我们都知道行动胜于雄辩。这是一个宾语从句,that是连词,空格处在句中作主语,act“表现”,动词,其名词形式为action;根据“speak”可知,此处用复数形式。“Actions speak louder than words.”是一个谚语,意思是“行动胜于雄辩”。故填actions。
70. The West Lake is a famous place of ________ in China. (interesting).
【答案】interest
【解析】
【详解】句意:西湖是中国一个著名的名胜古迹。place of interest“名胜古迹”,固定搭配。故填interest。

73. Mr Wang ________ books and dictionaries for children in poor areas last Children’s Day. (提供)
【答案】provided
【解析】
【详解】句意:去年儿童节,王先生为贫困地区的孩子们提供了书籍和字典。根据语境和汉语提示可知,provide sth for sb表示“为某人提供某物”,因last Children’s Day“去年儿童节”,时态为一般过去时,动词provide用过去式provided。故填provided。

六、阅读与回答(共5小题,每小题2分,共10分。)
请认真阅读下面短文,并根据短文内容回答问题。(每题不超过 10个词)
The little wolf, White Fang, made an enemy of the dog, Lip-Lip. Lip-Lip attacked him whenever he could. He was bigger and stronger than White Fang and always won their fights. White Fang knew that he could not win a fight against Lip-Lip. He thought that he had to do something else to teach the dog a lesson.
One day, he was playing at a river bank when he saw Lip-Lip come. He suddenly got a good idea. He pretended (假装) to be hurt and unable to run fast. When Lip-Lip ran after him, he led Lip-Lip to the place where his mother stayed. When Lip-Lip got close to her, she turned Lip-Lip over and bit him until she let him go, but White Fang had a bigger problem.
Lip-Lip was the leader of the other dogs. They followed him and obeyed him. None of them would become friends with White Fang. Whenever he came near them, they attacked him.
White Fang was always alone. He was never allowed to play with the other dogs. This made him unhappy and angry. He often forgot how to behave well.
Several days later, White Fang saw a man take his mother in a small boat. He tried to follow them. He jumped into the river and swam after the boat. Another man came after White Fang in his boat. He lifted White Fang out of the water. White Fang tried to get away from the man, but the man hit him and threw him into the boat.
White Fang was now very angry because he wanted to be with his mother. He forgot how powerful men were, and he bit the man. The man was so angry that he beat White Fang again and again. The man hurt him badly.
White Fang finally learned that he couldn’t bite a man because if he did, he would be beaten badly.

【81题详解】
句意:他想和妻子分享这个。share sth. with sb.“和某人分享某事”,空前的to是动词不定式符号,其后接动词原形。故填(s)hare。
【82题详解】
句意:所以在他待在首都的第一天,他给妻子发了一封电报,电报中包含了他所住宾馆的名字和地址。根据首字母提示和“of the hotel where he was staying”可知,此处指“宾馆的地址”,address“地址”符合语境。故填(a)ddress。
【83题详解】

【86题详解】
句意:漫无目的地走了一会儿后,这个人发现自己在一个邮局前面。根据“the man found...in front of a post office”和首字母提示可知,空处应填反身代词himself“他自己”,用于指代主语the man本身。故填(h)imself。
【87题详解】
句意:他冲进去,用激动的声音说。in an excited voice意为“用激动的声音”。故填(v)oice。
【88题详解】
句意:没多久就填好了。根据下文“A minute later”可知,没过多久,这个人就填好了电报。take long意为“花很长时间”。故填(l)ong。
【89题详解】
句意:一分钟后,他交了电报,付给那个人钱。根据“he handed in the telegram”可知,这个人支付了电报费。动词pay意为“支付”,此处描述过去发生的事情,应用一般过去时,所以空处应填pay的过去式paid。故填(p)aid。
【90题详解】
句意:四个小时后,当他的妻子收到丈夫的第二封电报时,大吃一惊:马上把我的地址发给我。根据“when she received the second telegram from her husband four hours later”可知,当他的妻子在四小时后再次收到他的电报时感到很惊讶。形容词surprised“惊讶的”符合语境。故填(s)urprised。
