It was a week after my mum had passed away and I didn’t know how to go on with life. So when I received an email from a friend about a race benefiting cancer research, I ignored it. It seemed to prick my heart, as cancer was the disease that had taken my mother away from me.
But something about my friend’s words — “I can help organize the whole thing” — made me feel it a duty to agree. In the weeks to come, I managed to re-enter the world of the living. I checked our team’s website daily, feeling proud each time a donation ticked up our total. I knew my mum would have wanted it that way. She was the type who never gave up. It was this very spirit that helped me get by.
When the race ended, I noticed the runners all had one thing in common: There were big smiles on their faces. They made it look so meaningful and effortless. I wanted in.
So I entered into another race two months later. Considering I could hardly run a mile, it was hard to achieve. But my friend and I made a training plan so I wouldn’t come in last. I followed it strictly and didn’t let anything get in my way.
Running up and down the city’s hills, I was flooded with memories. I had lived there after college and my mother had visited often. I passed Bloomingdale’s, recalling the time she and I had gotten into a fierce argument there.
I was about to beat myself up when I remembered what Mum had said after her diagnosis (诊断) of cancer. “I don’t want you to feel regretful about anything.” Her paper-thin hands had held me tightly. A weight lifted from my shoulders.
When the race day arrived,I gave it my all for my mum and for all she had taught me and continued to teach me. As I ran, whenever I felt like slowing down, I pictured her cheering me on. Crossing the finish line, I was filled with her love and a sense of peace.
39. Why did the author ignore the email in the beginning?
A. She felt it hard to finish the race. B. She had no time to join in the event.
C. She thought the research meaningless. D. She was reminded of her mother's death.
40. What does the underlined word “prick” in Paragraph 1 refer to?
A. Hurt. B. Lose. C. Win. D. Warm.
41. What mainly helped the author recover from her mum’s death?
A. The company of her friends. B. The inspiration from her mum.
C. The pleasure in going for a run. D. The success in organizing an event.
42. Which of the words can best describe the author’s mum?
A. Considerate and polite. B. Brave and humorous.
C. Strong-willed and caring. D. Outgoing and patient.
43. What might be the best title for the passage?
A. How I Got Healed in Running B. The Loss of Sweet memories
C. What Matters Most in Running D. The Benefits of Mothers’ love
C
A team of engineers at Harvard University has been inspired by Nature to create the first robotic fly. The mechanical fly has become a platform for a series of new high-tech integrated systems. Designed to do what a fly does naturally, the tiny machine is the size of a fat housefly. Its mini wings allow it to stay in the air and perform controlled flight tasks.
“It’s extremely important for us to think about this as a whole system and not just the sum of a bunch of individual components (元件),” said Robert Wood, the Harvard engineering professor who has been working on the robotic fly project for over a decade. A few years ago, his team got the go-ahead to start piecing together the components. “The added difficulty with a project like this is that actually none of those components are off the shelf and so we have to develop them all on our own,” he said.
They engineered a series of systems to start and drive the robotic fly. “The seemingly simple system which just moves the wings has a number of interdependencies on the individual components, each of which individually has to perform well, but then has to be matched well to everything it’s connected to,” said Wood. The flight device was built into a set of power, computation, sensing and control systems. Wood says the success of the project proves that the flying robot with these tiny components can be built and manufactured.
While this first robotic flyer is linked to a small, off-board power source, the goal is eventually to equip it with a built-in power source, so that it might someday perform data-gathering work at rescue sites, in farmers’ fields or on the battlefield. “Basically it should be able to take off, land and fly around,” he said.
Wood says the design offers a new way to study flight mechanics and control at insect-scale. Yet, the power, sensing and computation technologies on board could have much broader applications. “You can start thinking about using them to answer open scientific questions, you know, to study biology in ways that would be difficult with the animals, but using these robots instead,” he said. “So there are a lot of technologies and open interesting scientific questions that are really what drives us on a day to day basis.”
44. The difficulty the team of engineers met with while making the robotic fly was that __________.
A. they had no model in their mind
B. they did not have sufficient time
C. they had no ready-made components
D. they could not assemble the components
45. It can be inferred from paragraphs 3 and 4 that the robotic fly __________.
A. consists of a flight device and a control system
B. can just fly in limited areas at the present time
C. can collect information from many sources
D has been put into wide application
46. Which of the following can be learned from the passage?
A. The robotic flyer is designed to learn about insects.
B. Animals are not allowed in biological experiments.
C. There used to be few ways to study how insects fly.
D. Wood’s design can replace animals in some experiments.
47. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?
A. Father of Robotic Fly
B. Inspiration from Engineering Science
C. Robotic Fly Imitates Real Life Insect
D. Harvard Breaks Through in Insect Study
D
The desire to be perfect is something most of us have felt at some point in our lives. Studying for the perfect test result searching for the perfect partner, working through the night to smash perfect that presentation. Often, having high standards can drive success, but for some people, diligence and motivation (动力) can shift into perfectionism, a misunderstood personality trait (特质) that can have dangerous results.
Perfectionism has increased significantly over the past three decades, a recent analysis shows. Young people in particular place higher demands on themselves and on others.Our dog-eat-dog world is creating a rising tide of young people who may be putting themselves at risk of mental and physical illness in their search for the perfect life.
Admittedly, perfectionists tend to achieve academically or in their career. But it comes at a price. Even among top athletes and professional dancers, perfectionism is a double-edged sword (剑), according to research by Sanna Nordin- Bates at the Swedish School of sport and Health Science in Stockholm.
Through a series of questionnaires and in-depth interviews, she found that perfectionism improves performances in the short run, but then weakens it. “These dancers and athletes speak about the positive aspects of it, but there’s always a ‘but’. The elements of perfectionism that drive them to reach high standards always come at a cost,” she says. “We certainly shouldn’t be promoting perfectionism as a positive trait in an uncritical manner. It isn’t even true that you need it to be a top athlete.”
With perfectionism rising rapidly among young people, many parents will share the desire to protect their children. “We’ve been working on the role parents play and it’s complex,” says Martin Smith at York St John University. “In terms of preventing it in your children, we know that parental practices have an important influence.” To avoid creating perfectionist tendencies, parents need to focus on loving their children in a more unconditional way, rather than focusing their love on specific successes. They can also help young people cope with the pressures of modern life.
“It’s a cliché (陈词滥调), but we need to promote the idea of life-long learning as an attitude in our children-the sense that things are not over when one test has been done,one race has been won or lost,” says Nordin-Bates. All of us can benefit from this approach to life. “It’s not about being perfect,” she says. “If you want to be happy and healthy for 80-plus years then you have to focus on what you gained from an experience, rather than what grade you achieved.”
48. What do we know about perfectionism according to the passage?
A. People will become perfectionists if they are hardworking and motivated.
B. Perfectionism ensures people a better performance in school and in career.
C. Nowadays young people may have fallen victim to perfectionism.
D. Perfectionism is the key to success for top athletes and professional dancers.
49. Which of the following statements is a good suggestion on preventing perfectionism?
A. Children should be rewarded for getting good grades.
B. Children under pressure should depend on themselves.
C. Children shouldn’t feel sad even though they lose a game.
D. Children should focus more on experiences than perfection.
50. What can be a suitable title for the passage?
A. Why we should seek perfectionism.
B. How one can live a happy life.
C. When the best is not enough.
D. The meaning of being perfect.

1. 意为“当……时候”,引导时间状语从句。
2. 意为“虽然,尽管”,引导让步状语从句。
3. 连接两个并列句子,表示“对比”关系。
二、 while 引导状语从句时,应注意以下几点:
1. while 引导的时间状语从句既可放在句首,也可放在句末;而 while 引导的让步状语从句一般放在句首,不放在句末。另外,也可以从意义上加以区分。
2. while 引导让步状语从句时,如果从句的主语和主句的主语相同,那么从句的主语和谓语动词 be 都可以省略。
3. while 和 when 都可以引导时间状语从句,但应注意: while 引导的时间状语从句中的谓语动词必须是延续性的动词;而 when 引导的时间状语从句中的谓语动词既可以是延续性动词,也可以是非延续性动词.当时间状语从句中的谓语动词是延续性动词时, while 和 when 可以互相替换。
4. while 引导的状语从句还可以表示“某个动作正在进行的同时,另一个动作也在进行之中”。

Leeds Castle has a wonderfully-designed maze (迷宫), which has a surprise at the center that will appeal to all ages, not just children looking for a place to play. Leeds Castle also has a big playground, one part of which is set aside for small kids while the other inspires teenagers in an old game of hide-and-seek.

B
It was a week after my mum had passed away and I didn’t know how to go on with life. So when I received an email from a friend about a race benefiting cancer research, I ignored it. It seemed to prick my heart, as cancer was the disease that had taken my mother away from me.
But something about my friend’s words — “I can help organize the whole thing” — made me feel it a duty to agree. In the weeks to come, I managed to re-enter the world of the living. I checked our team’s website daily, feeling proud each time a donation ticked up our total. I knew my mum would have wanted it that way. She was the type who never gave up. It was this very spirit that helped me get by.
When the race ended, I noticed the runners all had one thing in common: There were big smiles on their faces. They made it look so meaningful and effortless. I wanted in.
So I entered into another race two months later. Considering I could hardly run a mile, it was hard to achieve. But my friend and I made a training plan so I wouldn’t come in last. I followed it strictly and didn’t let anything get in my way.
Running up and down the city’s hills, I was flooded with memories. I had lived there after college and my mother had visited often. I passed Bloomingdale’s, recalling the time she and I had gotten into a fierce argument there.
I was about to beat myself up when I remembered what Mum had said after her diagnosis (诊断) of cancer. “I don’t want you to feel regretful about anything.” Her paper-thin hands had held me tightly. A weight lifted from my shoulders.
When the race day arrived,I gave it my all for my mum and for all she had taught me and continued to teach me. As I ran, whenever I felt like slowing down, I pictured her cheering me on. Crossing the finish line, I was filled with her love and a sense of peace.
39. Why did the author ignore the email in the beginning?
A. She felt it hard to finish the race. B. She had no time to join in the event.
C. She thought the research meaningless. D. She was reminded of her mother's death.
40. What does the underlined word “prick” in Paragraph 1 refer to?
A. Hurt. B. Lose. C. Win. D. Warm.
41. What mainly helped the author recover from her mum’s death?
A. The company of her friends. B. The inspiration from her mum.
C. The pleasure in going for a run. D. The success in organizing an event.
42. Which of the words can best describe the author’s mum?
A. Considerate and polite. B. Brave and humorous.
C. Strong-willed and caring. D. Outgoing and patient.
43. What might be the best title for the passage?
A. How I Got Healed in Running B. The Loss of Sweet memories
C. What Matters Most in Running D. The Benefits of Mothers’ love
【答案】39. D 40. A 41. B 42. C 43. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本文讲述了作者在母亲去世后,通过参与跑步比赛和回忆母亲的教诲,逐渐走出悲伤,找到内心的平静的故事。
【39题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“It was a week after my mum had passed away and I didn’t know how to go on with life. So when I received an email from a friend about a race benefiting cancer research, I ignored it. It seemed to prick my heart, as cancer was the disease that had taken my mother away from me.(妈妈去世后一周,我不知道该如何继续生活。所以,当我收到朋友发来的一封关于一场有益于癌症研究的比赛的电子邮件时,我忽略了它。这似乎刺痛了我的心,因为癌症就是夺走我妈妈的疾病。)”可知,作者一开始忽略那封邮件是因为这让作者想起了母亲的去世。故选D。
【40题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句上文“It was a week after my mum had passed away and I didn’t know how to go on with life. So when I received an email from a friend about a race benefiting cancer research, I ignored it.(那是我妈妈去世一周后,我不知道该如何继续生活。因此,当我收到一位朋友发来的关于一场有利于癌症研究的比赛的电子邮件时,我忽略了它。)”以及下文“as cancer was the disease that had taken my mother away from me.(因为癌症就是夺走我妈妈的疾病。)”可知,作者在母亲去世一周后收到了一封邮件,是关于有利于癌症研究的比赛,而作者的母亲就是死于癌症,由此可推测,这封邮件刺痛了作者的内心,让作者难过、伤心;“prick”意思是“刺痛,使痛心”,与hurt意思相近。故选A。
【41题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“She was the type who never gave up. It was this very spirit that helped me get by.(她是那种永不放弃的人。正是这种精神帮助我度过难关。)”可知,是母亲永不放弃的精神激励了作者,帮助作者从母亲去世的伤痛中恢复过来。故选B。
【42题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“She was the type who never gave up.(她是那种永不放弃的人。)”可知,作者的母亲意志坚强;根据第六段“I was about to beat myself up when I remembered what Mum had said after her diagnosis (诊断) of cancer. “I don’t want you to feel regretful about anything.” Her paper-thin hands had held me tightly. A weight lifted from my shoulders.(当我想起妈妈被诊断出癌症后说的话时,我正想痛打自己一顿。‘我不想让你对任何事情感到后悔。’她那双薄如纸的手紧紧地抓着我。我肩上的重担减轻了。)”可知,作者的母亲很爱作者,是一个有爱心的人;由此可知,最能描述作者母亲的词是“意志坚强且有爱心的”。故选C。
【43题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其根据最后一段“When the race day arrived,I gave it my all for my mum and for all she had taught me and continued to teach me. As I ran, whenever I felt like slowing down, I pictured her cheering me on. Crossing the finish line, I was filled with her love and a sense of peace.(当比赛那天到来的时候,我为我的妈妈付出了我的一切,为了她教给我的一切,也为了她继续教给我的一切。当我跑步的时候,每当我想慢下来的时候,我就会想象她为我加油。冲过终点线时,我心中充满了她的爱和一种平和的感觉。)”可知,本文主要讲述了作者在母亲去世后非常难过,不知道该如何继续生活,而通过参与跑步比赛和回忆母亲的教诲,作者逐渐走出悲伤,找到内心的平静的故事;由此可知,选项A“How I Got Healed in Running(我是如何在跑步中治愈的)”最符合文章主旨,最适合作为本文标题。故选A。

A team of engineers at Harvard University has been inspired by Nature to create the first robotic fly. The mechanical fly has become a platform for a series of new high-tech integrated systems. Designed to do what a fly does naturally, the tiny machine is the size of a fat housefly. Its mini wings allow it to stay in the air and perform controlled flight tasks.
“It’s extremely important for us to think about this as a whole system and not just the sum of a bunch of individual components (元件),” said Robert Wood, the Harvard engineering professor who has been working on the robotic fly project for over a decade. A few years ago, his team got the go-ahead to start piecing together the components. “The added difficulty with a project like this is that actually none of those components are off the shelf and so we have to develop them all on our own,” he said.
They engineered a series of systems to start and drive the robotic fly. “The seemingly simple system which just moves the wings has a number of interdependencies on the individual components, each of which individually has to perform well, but then has to be matched well to everything it’s connected to,” said Wood. The flight device was built into a set of power, computation, sensing and control systems. Wood says the success of the project proves that the flying robot with these tiny components can be built and manufactured.
While this first robotic flyer is linked to a small, off-board power source, the goal is eventually to equip it with a built-in power source, so that it might someday perform data-gathering work at rescue sites, in farmers’ fields or on the battlefield. “Basically it should be able to take off, land and fly around,” he said.
Wood says the design offers a new way to study flight mechanics and control at insect-scale. Yet, the power, sensing and computation technologies on board could have much broader applications. “You can start thinking about using them to answer open scientific questions, you know, to study biology in ways that would be difficult with the animals, but using these robots instead,” he said. “So there are a lot of technologies and open interesting scientific questions that are really what drives us on a day to day basis.”
44. The difficulty the team of engineers met with while making the robotic fly was that __________.
A. they had no model in their mind
B they did not have sufficient time
C. they had no ready-made components
D. they could not assemble the components
45. It can be inferred from paragraphs 3 and 4 that the robotic fly __________.
A. consists of a flight device and a control system
B. can just fly in limited areas at the present time
C. can collect information from many sources
D. has been put into wide application
46. Which of the following can be learned from the passage?
A. The robotic flyer is designed to learn about insects.
B. Animals are not allowed in biological experiments.
C. There used to be few ways to study how insects fly.
D. Wood’s design can replace animals in some experiments.
47. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?
A. Father of Robotic Fly
B. Inspiration from Engineering Science
C. Robotic Fly Imitates Real Life Insect
D. Harvard Breaks Through in Insect Study
【答案】44. C 45. B 46. D 47. C
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是哈佛大学从自然界的昆虫那里得到了灵感,设计开发了第一款机器苍蝇。文章介绍了该项研究存在的困难,研究将要发展的方向和该研究会带来的好处。
【44题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的“The added difficulty with a project like this is that actually none of those components are off the shelf and so we have to develop them all on our own可知,类似这样的项目的一个额外的困难就是,这些组成部件从来就没有现成的,我们不得不靠自己去开发,从中可知,困难就是没有现成的组成部件,故选C。
【45题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段的“While this first robotic flyer is linked to a small, off-board power source, the goal is eventually to equip it with a built-in power source, so that it might someday perform data-gathering work at rescue sites, in farmers’ fields or on the battlefield”可知,虽然第一架机器人飞行器与一个小型非机载电源相连,但最终目标是为其配备一个内置电源,以便有朝一日它可以在救援地点、农民的田地或战场上执行数据收集工作。由此推知,目前由于电池等的限制,只能在有限的区域飞行,故选B。
【46题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段的it might someday perform data-gathering work at rescue sites, in farmers’ fields or on the battlefield可知,A项是错误的。B项中animals are not allowed 是错的,应该是difficult with animals,即有些用动物来做试验是困难的,不是不允许。C项在文中并没有提到以前方法的多少,文中只是说offers a new way to study,提供了新的方法,故排除C项。根据最后一段的 you know, to study biology in ways that would be difficult with the animals,but using these robots instead,可知,用动物研究生物学会很难,但是机器人可以取代动物,所以在某些实验中,Wood的设计可以取代动物。故选D。
【47题详解】
主旨大意题。由第一段“A team of engineers at Harvard University has been inspired by Nature to create the first robotic fly”可知,短文主要介绍的是哈佛大学从自然界的昆虫那里得到了灵感,设计开发了第一款机器苍蝇。所以短文的最佳标题是“机器苍蝇模仿现实生活中的昆虫” ,故选C。
【点睛】推理判断题要求在理解原文表面文字信息的基础上,做出一定的推理判断,从而得到文章的隐含意义和深层意义。推理判断题所涉及的内容可能是文中的某一句话,也可能是某几句话,所以,推理题的答案只能是根据原文表面文字信息一步推出的答案:即对原文某一句话或某几句话所作的同义改写或综合。推理判断题的题干中通常含infer, suggest, imply, conclude indicate等标志性词语。 这种题型主要包括细节判断题、态度观点推断题、写作意图推断题、文章出处判断题和猜测想象推断题。
根据第三段的“he flight device was built into a set of power, computation, sensing and control systems”可知A项是错误的。根据第四段的“While this first robotic flyer is linked to a small, off-board power source”和“Basically it should be able to take off, land and fly around,”可知,目前由于电池等的限制,只能在有限的区域飞行。因此B项是正确的。根据第四段的“so that it might someday perform data-gathering work at rescue sites, in farmers’ fields or on the battlefield”可知该飞行器是在someday将来的某一天才能从不同的地方收集信息,而不是现在,因此排除C项。纵观全文,讲述的是该飞行器尚处于开发的初级阶段,有很多地方需要改善,因此D项广泛投入使用是错误的。综上所述,选小题2选B项。

The desire to be perfect is something most of us have felt at some point in our lives. Studying for the perfect test result, searching for the perfect partner, working through the night to smash perfect that presentation. Often, having high standards can drive success, but for some people, diligence and motivation (动力) can shift into perfectionism, a misunderstood personality trait (特质) that can have dangerous results.
Perfectionism has increased significantly over the past three decades, a recent analysis shows. Young people in particular place higher demands on themselves and on others.Our dog-eat-dog world is creating a rising tide of young people who may be putting themselves at risk of mental and physical illness in their search for the perfect life.
Admittedly, perfectionists tend to achieve academically or in their career. But it comes at a price. Even among top athletes and professional dancers, perfectionism is a double-edged sword (剑), according to research by Sanna Nordin- Bates at the Swedish School of sport and Health Science in Stockholm.
Through a series of questionnaires and in-depth interviews, she found that perfectionism improves performances in the short run, but then weakens it. “These dancers and athletes speak about the positive aspects of it, but there’s always a ‘but’. The elements of perfectionism that drive them to reach high standards always come at a cost,” she says. “We certainly shouldn’t be promoting perfectionism as a positive trait in an uncritical manner. It isn’t even true that you need it to be a top athlete.”
With perfectionism rising rapidly among young people, many parents will share the desire to protect their children. “We’ve been working on the role parents play and it’s complex,” says Martin Smith at York St John University. “In terms of preventing it in your children, we know that parental practices have an important influence.” To avoid creating perfectionist tendencies, parents need to focus on loving their children in a more unconditional way, rather than focusing their love on specific successes. They can also help young people cope with the pressures of modern life.
“It’s a cliché (陈词滥调), but we need to promote the idea of life-long learning as an attitude in our children-the sense that things are not over when one test has been done,one race has been won or lost,” says Nordin-Bates. All of us can benefit from this approach to life. “It’s not about being perfect,” she says. “If you want to be happy and healthy for 80-plus years then you have to focus on what you gained from an experience, rather than what grade you achieved.”
48. What do we know about perfectionism according to the passage?
A. People will become perfectionists if they are hardworking and motivated.
B. Perfectionism ensures people a better performance in school and in career.
C. Nowadays young people may have fallen victim to perfectionism.
D. Perfectionism is the key to success for top athletes and professional dancers.
49. Which of the following statements is a good suggestion on preventing perfectionism?
A. Children should be rewarded for getting good grades.
B. Children under pressure should depend on themselves.
C. Children shouldn’t feel sad even though they lose a game.
D. Children should focus more on experiences than perfection.
50. What can be a suitable title for the passage?
A. Why we should seek perfectionism.
B. How one can live a happy life.
C. When the best is not enough.
D. The meaning of being perfect.
【答案】48. C 49. D 50. C
【解析】

【48题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Our dog-eat-dog world is creating a rising tide of young people who may be putting themselves at risk of mental and physical illness in their search for the perfect life.(我们这个竞争激烈的世界正在催生一股年轻人浪潮,他们在追求完美生活的过程中可能会将自己置于精神和身体疾病的风险之中。)”可知,根据文章,我们知道如今的年轻人可能已经成为了完美主义的受害者。故选C。
【49题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段““It’s not about being perfect,” she says. “If you want to be happy and healthy for 80-plus years then you have to focus on what you gained from an experience, rather than what grade you achieved.”(“这不是关于完美,”她说,“如果你想80多岁还保持快乐和健康,那么你必须关注你从一次经历中学到了什么,而不是你取得了什么成绩。”)”可知,文章建议孩子们应该更多地关注经历本身,而不是追求完美。故选D。
【50题详解】
