A. were found B. has been found C. had been found D. have been found 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】考查动词时态。句意：自从他们开始探险以来，就只在沉船中发现了一些古代的中国钱币。根据句子中的时间状语“since they began the exploration”可知，此处应使用现在完成时；由于本句中的主语为Nothing but...结构，故谓语动词与but之前的不定代词nothing之间是被动关系且保持一致，故用第三人称单数形式；主语nothing与find是被动关系。故选B项。 15. —You wanted to see me? —Yes, ________ I need some money. Could you lend me some? A. keep cool! B. I’ll throw light on that question. C. I’ll come straight to the point.

I’ll come straight to the point我就开门见山了；D. well done干得好。由“I need some money. Could you lend me some”可知，第二个说话人直接表达了自己的打算，因此空格处是“我就开门见山了”，故选C。 第二节 完形填空(共20小题;每小题1.5分，共30分) 阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 I picked up my phone to take a picture of the beautiful scenery.

It’s important that you make your choice confidently and after some consideration. There’s Nothing Wrong With Being “Undecided”. Between 20% and 50% of college freshmen enter school without a declared major. Keep in mind that there’s nothing wrong with remaining “undecided” or “undeclared” for the first few years of your college career. You can use this time to decide what you’re interested in. Also, keep in mind that even if you do declare a major your freshman year, you can always change your mind. About one-third of first-time college students change their major within three years. Even more, over 60% of college graduates say they would go back and change their major if they could, primarily to pursue their passion areas and expand their job opportunities. Explore Your Passions and Abilities. Set aside some time to really explore your passions and take stock of your unique abilities. With an undeclared major to start, you can take time to really delve deep into what interests you. Join clubs around campus to connect with fellow students who share your interests. Take electives in areas that you might not otherwise have an opportunity to experience. For example, when else might you be able to take a poetry course or an art history seminar? College is the perfect time to step out of your box and expand your horizons. As a student with an undeclared major, you’re uniquely positioned to do just that. Consider Employment Opportunities. While it’s important to choose a major that interests you, it’s also critical to choose a college major that will provide you with future employment opportunities. Statistically, the college majors that tend to have the most earning power are in STEM. These majors might include health sciences or computer engineering. Business majors can also expect a higher than average earning potential. That being said, employers frequently recognize that graduates who majored in the liberal arts have valuable soft skills, too, including strong communication, written and verbal skills, and leadership abilities. The key is to pick a major that will be marketable for the career you’re interested in pursuing. Talk to an Academic Advisor. If you need a little guidance, set up an appointment with an academic advisor or career counselors. Career development counselors and academic advisors can help you narrow down your options. If you have an idea of what classes you’ve most enjoyed and what career paths are most appealing to you, working with one of these professionals might be the final push you need to pick a major. Still have some doubts now? You can submit your questions Here 36. What can we learn from the 2nd paragraph? A. Most graduates went back to college and changed their majors for a brighter future. B. Some students frequently change their majors throughout their college years. C. It is all right to remain undecided on majors for only the freshman year. D. You don’t necessarily need to declare your majors upon entering college. 37. You are advised to take electives as described in the 3rd paragraph because ______. A. the courses and seminars are popular with college students B. it helps you fully explore where your interest lies C. you can share your common interest with your fellow students D. your major lies in the areas and you can’t miss them 38. An example of having good soft skills is that ______ . A. you express yourself well in a controversial business discussion B. you fix the technical problems of computers in your office easily C. you quickly figure out why the communication equipment doesn’t work D. you never appoint but shoulder more of the workload at work 39. Which of the following statements is NOT true? A. Your major should be a reflection of your interests and career goals. B. Choose a major that will give you future employment opportunities: C. An academic advisor or career counselors will decide the major for you. D. You should choose your major carefully and confidently. 40. Which of the following is the passage probably taken from? A. A high school newspaper. B. A website page. C. A university brochure. D. A popular magazine. 【答案】36. D 37. B 38. A 39. C 40. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了大学生在选择专业时应该考虑的因素和步骤，包括不必急于决定专业、探索个人兴趣和能力、考虑就业前景以及咨询学术顾问的建议。 【36题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Between 20% and 50% of college freshmen enter school without a declared major. Keep in mind that there’s nothing wrong with remaining “undecided” or “undeclared” for the first few years of your college career. You can use this time to decide what you’re interested in. (20%到50%的大学新生入学时没有指定专业。请记住，在大学生涯的前几年保持“犹豫不决”或“未定”并没有什么错。你可以利用这段时间来决定你感兴趣的专业)”可知，你不必在进入大学时就决定你的专业。故选D项。 【37题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Set aside some time to really explore your passions and take stock of your unique abilities. With an undeclared major to start, you can take time to really delve deep into what interests you. Join clubs around campus to connect with fellow students who share your interests. Take electives in areas that you might not otherwise have an opportunity to experience. (留出一些时间来真正探索你的激情，评估你的独特能力。有了一个未公开的专业开始，你可以花时间去真正深入研究你感兴趣的东西。加入校园俱乐部，与志同道合的同学建立联系。参加一些你可能没有机会体验的选修课)”可知，建议你参加选修课，因为它能帮助你充分探索自己的兴趣所在。故选B项。 【38题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“That being said, employers frequently recognize that graduates who majored in the liberal arts have valuable soft skills, too, including strong communication, written and verbal skills, and leadership abilities. (话虽如此，雇主们通常都认为文科专业的毕业生也有宝贵的软技能，包括良好的沟通能力、书面和口头表达能力以及领导能力)”可知，软技能是指良好的沟通能力、书面和口头表达以及领导能力。因此推知，你在有争议的商业讨论中很好地表达自己是一种良好的软技能。故选A项。 【39题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“If you need a little guidance, set up an appointment with an academic advisor or career counselors. Career development counselors and academic advisors can help you narrow down your options. (如果你需要一些指导，和学术顾问或职业顾问约个时间。职业发展顾问和学术顾问可以帮助你缩小选择范围)”可知，学术顾问或职业顾问会会帮助我们缩小选择范围。C选项“学术顾问或职业顾问会为你决定专业”错误。故选C项。 【40题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Still have some doubts now? You can submit your questions Here. (现在还有些疑惑吗?你可以在这里提交问题)”推知，短文来自网页。故选B项。 B The whale, as big as a locomotive (火车头), jumped out of the water, spinning (旋转) as though for joy, before jumping back under the waves. We watched silently in astonishment, never having been so close to such a huge, fast-moving creature. It seemed almost possible to count the small shellfish on the whale's skin. In early December, gray whales, blue whales, and others had just started heading around the tip of Baja California, Mexico, moving as a community from the Pacific Ocean to the Sea of Cortez. It's in that protected waterway that pregnant whales give birth to their babies. Other whale babies, born the year before, could be seen sailing behind. All whale babies get two trips like this with their mom before they're ready to start having babies of their own and making the journey on their own. We're in one of several small powerboats, sent out by ScubaCaribe, which carries on such tours in Cabo San Lucas, the whales seemed to be, at times, less than 100 feet from our boat when they rushed out of the water. At other times, they would get much closer and swim beside the boat. “What if one lands on us?” a woman next to me wondered. Fernando Del Toro, the Destination Manager of ScubaCaribe said, “We haven't had any incidents (事件) of whales jumping over our boats as we always keep our distance. We're sure they themselves are probably careful not to crash into boats. Such an accident would probably also cause them much harm.” “Everyone can enjoy this magical trip,” said Del Toro. “However, we do not recommend (推荐) it for kids under 5 years old,” he added. Though conditions on the water vary, our trip was wonderful. Even when the boat sped up to catch up with the whales, there was little need to “hang on”, and some of us remained standing throughout most of the trip. Still, you may want to pack medicine for those who might get seasick while bouncing (颠簸行进) along the waves. 41. How does the author start the text? A. By telling a story. B. By asking questions. C.

C 42. C 43. C 44. D 45. A 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者乘船赏鲸之旅。 【41题详解】 推理判断题。由第一段“The whale, as big as a locomotive (火车头), jumped out of the water, spinning (旋转) as though for joy, before jumping back under the waves. We watched silently in astonishment, never having been so close to such a huge, fast-moving creature. It seemed almost possible to count the small shellfish on the whale's skin. (这头像火车头一样大的鲸鱼跳出水面，高兴地旋转着，然后跳回海浪下。我们惊讶地默默地看着，从未如此接近过如此巨大、移动迅速的生物。几乎可以数鲸鱼皮肤上的小贝类)”可知，作者通过在第一段描述鲸鱼跃出水面的这个场景开始这篇文章，引出下文的乘船赏鲸之旅。故选C项。 【42题详解】 推理判断题。由第一段中的“The whale, as big as a locomotive (火车头), jumped out of the water, spinning (旋转) as though for joy, before jumping back under the waves. We watched silently in astonishment, never having been so close to such a huge, fast-moving creature. (这头像火车头一样大的鲸鱼跳出水面，高兴地旋转着，然后跳回海浪下。我们惊讶地默默地看着，从未如此接近过如此巨大、移动迅速的生物)”可知，当作者看到鲸鱼跃出水面时，作者很惊讶。故选C项。 【43题详解】 主旨大意题。由第二段“In early December, gray whales, blue whales, and others had just started heading around the tip of Baja California, Mexico, moving as a community from the Pacific Ocean to the Sea of Cortez. It's in that protected waterway that pregnant whales give birth to their babies. Other whale babies, born the year before, could be seen sailing behind. All whale babies get two trips like this with their mom before they're ready to start having babies of their own and making the journey on their own. (12月初，灰鲸、蓝鲸和其他鲸鱼刚刚开始在墨西哥下加利福尼亚州的顶端游弋，从太平洋向科尔特斯海迁徙。怀孕的鲸鱼就是在那条受保护的水道里生孩子的。人们还可以看到前一年出生的其他鲸鱼宝宝在后面航行。所有的鲸鱼宝宝都会和它们的妈妈一起进行两次这样的旅行，然后才准备好生育自己的宝宝和开始自己的旅程)”可知，第二段对鲸鱼每年的迁徙进行了介绍。故选C项。 【44题详解】 推理判断题。由第四段中的“Destination Manager of ScubaCaribe said, “We haven't had any incidents (事件) of whales jumping over our boats as we always keep our distance. We're sure they themselves are probably careful not to crash into boats. Such an accident would probably also cause them much harm.”(ScubaCaribe的目的地经理Fernando Del Toro说：“因为我们一直保持距离，所以没有发生过鲸鱼从我们的船上跳过的事件。我们确信它们自己可能很小心，不会撞到船上。这样的事故也可能对它们造成很大伤害。”)”可知，如果鲸鱼从船上跳过，这对人和鲸鱼都有坏处，因此Fernando Del Toro认为应在适当的距离进行赏鲸（这样可以避免潜在的危险）。故选D项。 【45题详解】 细节理解题。由最后一段中的“Though conditions on the water vary, our trip was wonderful. (尽管水上的条件各不相同，我们的旅行还是很精彩)”可知，作者认为赏鲸之旅很精彩，说明作者的旅行很顺利。故选A项。 C The other weekend I went to the mall in search of a new pair of tennis shoes. When I arrived at the: mall, the stores were crowded. Apparently, none of these shoppers had read Leaf Van Boven’s 2005 review article highlighting (强调) the benefits of spending money on experiences over material goods. When surveying various cultures to determine what makes people happy,researchers kept finding that having more is not equal to being happier. And people who try to have more are, in fact, less satisfied. For example, the more that people support the statement “Buying things gives me pleasure,” the less satisfied they are with their lives. But it seems this is only true if you are spending your money on “things” rather than “memories.” Whether people are asked to directly compare experiential vs.material purchases or to simply reflect on a specific recent purchase, they report that the experiential purchase made them happier, contributed more to their happiness, and was “money better spent.” Why is money spent to create memories better spent? In his review article, VanBoven suggests that experiences are more personal and unique, and thus harder to compare. When people are asked whether they’d prefer to live in a world where they earned $50,000 a year while others earned $25,000 or a world where they earned $100,000 while others earned $200,000, about half of the people prefer to earn $50,000 if it means they earn more than everyone else. But when asked whether they’d prefer two weeks of vacation while everyone else got one, or four weeks while everyone else got eight, 85 percent of people prefer the four weeks even if other people get more. People are generally engaging in experiences with others, but purchasing a new pair of boots is more likely to be a lonely affair. There is also something negative associated with being materialistic and researchers have found that people tend to prefer to interact with other people who are “experiential” than those who are “materialistic.” Engaging in an experience together can also help people create shared memories and connections. 46. What did the author think of the shoppers mentioned in the first paragraph? A. They had a great interest in tennis. B. They cared more about material things. C. They lived a happier life than him. D. They opposed Van Boven’s theory. 47. What did the survey show? A. Happiness cannot be bought with money. B. Good memories cannot be replaced by money. y C. People in different cultures have the same opinion on happiness.. D. Experiential purchases produce greater happiness for consumers. 48. What do we learn from the figures in Paragraph 3? A. Material purchases aren’t affected by money B. Experiential purchases can’t be compared easily. C. Most people want to be richer than others. D. Half the people want to have engaging experiences. 49. What’s the main idea of the last paragraph? A. Experiences help us create relationships. B. Materials give us a sense of dignity. C. Materials give us a sense of achievement. D. Experiences help us improve our social status. 50. What does the underlined part mean in the last paragraph? A. Giving in. B. Taking part in. C. Breaking in. D. Bringing in. 【答案】46. B 47. D 48. B 49. A 50. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了体验式消费相较于物质消费能给人带来更大幸福感。 【46题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第一段中“The other weekend I went to the mall in search of a new pair of tennis shoes. When I arrived at the: mall, the stores were crowded. Apparently, none of these shoppers had read Leaf Van Boven’s 2005 review article highlighting (强调) the benefits of spending money on experiences over material goods. (上周末，我去商场想买一双新的网球鞋。当我到达商场时，店铺里人满为患。显然，这些购物者中没有人读过Leaf Van Boven在2005年发表的评论文章，那篇文章强调了将钱花在体验上而非物质商品上的好处。)”可知，作者认为没有读过Leaf Van Boven的那篇强调在体验上花钱比物质商品更有益的文章，这些购物者更关心物质的东西。故选B。 【47题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第二段中“Whether people are asked to directly compare experiential vs material purchases or to simply reflect on a specific recent purchase, they report that the experiential purchase made them happier, contributed more to their happiness, and was “money better spent.” (无论人们是被要求直接比较体验式消费与物质消费，还是简单地回想最近的某一笔消费，他们都表示体验式消费让他们更快乐，对幸福的贡献更大，是“钱花得更值”。)”可知，调查显示，体验式消费能给消费者带来更大的幸福感。故选D。 【48题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第三段中“In his review article, VanBoven suggests that experiences are more personal and unique, and thus harder to compare. When people are asked whether they’d prefer to live in a world where they earned $50,000 a year while others earned $25,000 or a world where they earned $100,000 while others earned $200,000, about half of the people prefer to earn $50,000 if it means they earn more than everyone else. But when asked whether they’d prefer two weeks of vacation while everyone else got one, or four weeks while everyone else got eight, 85 percent of people prefer the four weeks even if other people get more. (在评论文章中，VanBoven认为体验更加个性化和独特，因此更难进行比较。当被问及是愿意生活在一个年收入5万美元而其他人年收入2.5万美元的世界，还是一个年收入10万美元而其他人年收入20万美元的世界时，大约一半的人宁愿赚5万美元，只要这意味着他们赚得比别人多。但当被问及是愿意拥有两周假期而其他人只有一周，还是四周假期而其他人有八周时，85%的人选择四周假期，即使其他人得到的更多。)”可知，从第三段的数据中我们了解到体验式消费很难比较。故选B。 【49题详解】 主旨大意题。由文章最后一段“People are generally engaging in experiences with others, but purchasing a new pair of boots is more likely to be a lonely affair. There is also something negative associated with being materialistic and researchers have found that people tend to prefer to interact with other people who are “experiential” than those who are “materialistic.” Engaging in an experience together can also help people create shared memories and connections. (人们通常与他人共同经历体验，但买一双新靴子更可能是一件孤独的事情。物质主义还有一些负面影响，研究人员发现，人们往往更喜欢与“注重体验”的人交往，而不是“物质主义”的人。一起经历某件事还可以帮助人们创造共同的回忆和联系。)”可知，本段主要讲述了共同体验可以帮助人们建立关系和联系。故选A。 【50题详解】 词句猜测题。由文章最后一段中“People are generally engaging in experiences with others, but purchasing a new pair of boots is more likely to be a lonely affair. (人们通常engaging in他人经历体验，但买一双新靴子更可能是一件孤独的事情。)”可知，人们通常会和别人一起体验，但买一双新靴子更可能是一件孤独的事情，因此engaging in意为“参加，参与”，与Taking part in“参加，参与”意思相符。故选B。 D In recent years, a growing body of research has shown that our appetite and food intake are influenced by a large number of factors besides our biological need for energy, including our eating environment and our perception（感知） of the food in front of us. Studies have shown, for instance, that eating in front of the TV (or a similar distraction) can increase both hunger and the amount of food consumed. Even simple visual clues, like plate size and lighting, have been shown to affect portion size and consumption. A new study suggested that our short-term memory also may play a role in appetite. Several hours after a meal, people's hunger levels were predicted not by how much they’d eaten but rather by how much food they'd seen in front of them—in other words, how much they remembered eating. This disparity (新旧研究的差异）suggests the memory of our previous meal may have a bigger influence on our appetite than the actual size of the meal, says Jeffrey M. Brunstrom, a professor of experimental psychology at the University of Bristol. "Hunger isn't controlled individually by the physical characteristics of a recent meal. We have identified an independent role for memory for that meal，" Brunstrom says. "This shows that the relationship between hunger and food intake is more complex than we thought." These findings echo earlier research that suggests our perception of food can sometimes trick our body’s response to the food itself. In a 2011 study, for instance, people who drank the same 380-calorie milkshake on two separate occasions produced different levels of hunger-related hormones （荷尔蒙），depending on whether the shake’s label said it contained 620 or 140 calories. Moreover, the participants reported feeling more full when they thought they'd consumed a higher-calorie shake. What does this mean for our eating habits? Although it hardly seems practical to trick ourselves into eating less, the new findings do highlight the benefits of focusing on our food and avoiding TV and multitasking while eating. The so-called mindful-eating strategies can fight distractions and help us control our appetite, Brunstrom says. 51. What is said to be a factor affecting our appetite and food intake? A. How we feel the food we eat. B When we eat our meals. C. What element the food contains. D. How fast we eat our meals. 52. What would happen at meal time if you remembered eating a lot in the previous meal? A. You would probably be more particular about food. B. You would not feel like eating the same food. C. You would have a good appetite. D. You would not feel so hungry. 53. What do we learn from the 2011 study? A. Food labels may mislead consumers in their purchases. B. Food labels may influence our body’s response to food. C. Hunger levels depend on one's consumption of calories. D. People tend to take in a lot more calories than necessary. 54. What does Brunstrom suggest we do to control our appetite? A. Trick ourselves into eating less. B. Choose food with fewer calories. C. Concentrate on food while eating. D. Pick dishes of the right size. 55. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Eating distractions often affect our food digestion. B. Psychological factors influence our hunger levels. C. Our food intake is determined by our biological needs. D. Good eating habits will contribute to our health. 【答案】51. A 52. D 53. B 54. C 55. B 【解析】 【分析】本文属于科普文，阐述人们的食欲和食物摄取受到包括环境和对食物的认知等诸多因素的影响。 【51题详解】 事实细节题。根据第一段In recent years, a growing body of research has shown that our appetite and food intake are influenced by a large number of factors besides our biological need for energy, including our eating environment and our perception（感知） of the food in front of us.可知，文章开篇指出了人们的食欲 和食物摄取受到诸多因素的影响，包括人们的饮 食环境和对面前食物的认知,故答案为A。 【52题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段第二句Several hours after a meal, people's hunger levels were predicted not by how much they’d eaten but rather by how much food they'd seen in front of them—in other words, how much they remembered eating.可知,饭后几小时,决定人们饥饿程度的不是他们已食用的食物量，而是他们吃饭时面前所见到的食物量,也就是说,影响人们饥饿程度的是他们记忆中的食物量而不是胃里的食物量。由此可推断,记忆对饮食造成影 响，如果记忆中上顿饭吃了很多,那么不管是不是 真的吃了很多,都不会感觉太饿,故答案为D。 【53题详解】 细节归纳题。根据第六段第二句In a 2011 study, for instance, people who drank the same 380-calorie milkshake on two separate occasions produced different levels of hunger-related hormones （荷尔蒙），depending on whether the shake’s label said it contained 620 or 140 calories.可知，详细描述了 2011年 的一项研究。在研究中，参与者在两个不同场合 食用了相同卡路里的奶昔，但是奶昔标签上分别 标注了 620卡路里和140卡路里,结果显示,根据 标注的中路里含量,参与者分泌了不同水平的与 饥饿相关的荷尔蒙，而且当食用了标注620卡路 里的奶昔时,他们感觉更饱。实际上两份奶昔的 卡路里含量是相同的，由于标签标注的不同,让人产生自我暗示,使人体对食物产生了不同的反应。 故答案为B。 【54题详解】 细节归纳题。根据最后一段The so-called mindful-eating strategies can fight distractions and help us control our appetite, Brunstrom says.可知，所谓的"用心饮 食"策略能够对抗干扰,帮助人们控制食欲。也就 是Brunstrom建议我们通过"用心饮食"策略控制 饮食用心饮食"和前文中提到的"专注于食物" 相照应,故答案为C。 【55题详解】 主旨大意题。全文可分为三个部分,第一部分提出论点——人们的食欲和食物摄取受到包括环境和对食物的认知等诸多因素的影响。第二部分引用相关科学研究论证这些影响因素，特别 指出饮食环境、对食物的记忆、食物包装上的标签对人产生的心理暗示作用影响饮食。最后一部分提出通过专注饮食来控制食欲的建议。对食物及饮食环境的认知，对食物的记忆，食物标签产生的心理暗示等都属于心理因素,统观全文,作者一直围绕心理因素对食欲的影响展开论述，故答案 为B。 第Ⅱ卷 非选择题 (满分35分) 第一节 阅读表达(共5小题; 每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读表达 27-year-old Lesley Kehoe and 29-year-old Gordon Bond had grown their daily travel from their home in County Kildare to their jobs in Dublin. They both loved their work, but they wanted a change and a break from their routine. Then one day they heard about Peig Sayers’ Cottage on Great Blasket Island and a decision was made immediately. Great Blasket Island, off the beautiful coast of County Kerry, was abandoned back in 1954 after a decline in population, along with concerns about the difficulty of reaching the island in the event of an emergency. The island, which remains largely unoccupied now, does not have electricity or hot running water. In April, Kehoe and Gordon packed their bags to head for Great Blasket Island. On the island, the couple worked to run Peig Sayers’ Cottage, a guest accommodation named after the famous Irish novelist who used to live and work there. Besides, they had to maintain the heritage(文化遗产) of Peig Sayers’ Cottage. Kehoe discussed the change of lifestyle she’s had on the island, “There’s a wind turbine(发电机) to generate electricity. It wouldn’ t be powerful enough to run a vacuum cleaner or anything, but it can charge my phone.” This didn’t hamper them from enjoying life there. Disconnecting from the rush of everyday life and getting off the grid (电网) made them feel relaxed. They enjoyed cooking on gas cookers and lighting candles for light. Kehoe even steeled herself and got used to taking cold showers. Kehoe often shared pictures and videos that showed a way of life that may seem foreign and idyllic(悠闲的) when compared to the modern “rat race”. The couple’s time on the island will terminate in October and Kehoe said they would be “heart-broken”to leave. She said, “I don’t think either of us is ready to leave the island; but we will have to go back to our old life. However, with this break I’ m sure we can work better after we return to our work.” 56. How did the couple react when hearing about Peig Sayers’Cottage?(no more than 10 words) 57. What did the couple mainly do on Great Blasket Island?(no more than 10 words) 58. What did the couple think of their electricity-free life?(no more than 5 words) 59. How do you understand the underlined word in Paragraph 5?(no more than 3 words) 60. What do you learn from the couple’s story?(no more than 20 words) 【答案】56. They immediately decided to go there. 57. They ran Peig Sayers’ Cottage and maintained its heritage. 58. It was relaxing and enjoyable. 59. End\ finish\ be over 60. Sometimes people may get tired of the fast-paced city life and a break from it can make them feel refreshed. 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇新闻报道。一对夫妇想要在日常规律的生活中做出一些改变，于是来到一座岛上管理佩格·塞耶斯小屋。在这里，要依靠风力发电，但是只能够给手机充电。他们靠天然气做饭，用蜡烛照明，习惯了冷水洗澡。他们很享受这样悠闲的生活。现在，他们马上就要离开这座岛了，但是他们很不舍得。 【56题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第一段中“Then one day they heard about Peig Sayers’ Cottage on Great Blasket Island and a decision was made immediately. (后来有一天，他们听说在大布拉斯基特岛上的佩格·塞耶斯小屋，于是立即做出了决定)”以及第三段中“In April, Kehoe and Gordon packed their bags to head for Great Blasket Island.(四月，Kehoe and Gordon收拾行囊前往大布拉斯特岛)”可知，这对夫妻听说了佩格·塞耶斯小屋后，立即做了去那里的决定。故答案为：They immediately decided to go there.。 【57题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第三段中“On the island, the couple worked to run Peig Sayers’ Cottage, a guest accommodation named after the famous Irish novelist who used to live and work there. Besides, they had to maintain the heritage(文化遗产) of Peig Sayers’ Cottage. (在岛上，这对夫妇经营着佩格·塞耶斯小屋，这是一个以曾经在那里生活和工作的著名爱尔兰小说家的名字命名的宾馆。此外，他们还必须保护佩格·塞耶斯小屋的遗产)”可知，这对夫妻要经营佩格·塞耶斯小屋，并保护其文化遗产，故答案为：They ran Peig Sayers’ Cottage and maintained its heritage.。 【58题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第四段中“This didn’t hamper them from enjoying life there. Disconnecting from the rush of everyday life and getting off the grid (电网) made them feel relaxed.(这并没有妨碍他们享受那里的生活。从日常生活的匆忙中解脱出来，脱离电网，让他们感到轻松) ”可知，这对夫妻认为这种没有电的日子是很享受的，并且让他们感到放松，故答案为：It was relaxing and enjoyable.。 【59题详解】 考查词义猜测。根据最后一段中“The couple’s time on the island will terminate in October and Kehoe said they would be “heart-broken”to leave. (这对夫妇在岛上的时间将于10月terminate，Kehoe说，他们将“心碎”离开) ”可知，他们要离开这个岛，所以他们在岛上的时间要结束了，terminate的意思就是“结束；停止”的意思，故答案为：End/finish/be over。 【60题详解】 这是开放性试题。根据第一段中“They both loved their work, but they wanted a change and a break from their routine. (他们都热爱自己的工作，但他们想从日常生活中得到改变和休息)”以及第四段中“This didn’t hamper them from enjoying life there. Disconnecting from the rush of everyday life and getting off the grid (电网) made them feel relaxed.(这并没有妨碍他们享受那里的生活。从日常生活的匆忙中解脱出来，脱离电网，让他们感到轻松) ”可知，人们可能会厌倦日复一日的快节奏的生活，从中摆脱休息一下，可以让人放松，精神焕发。故答案为：Sometimes people may get tired of the fast-paced city life and a break from it can make them feel refreshed.。 第二节：书面表达 (共1题，满分25分) 61. 假设你是晨光中学的李津，你的英国笔友Chris对中国近些年生活中的变化很感兴趣，请你给他写一封邮件，内容包含以下方面： 1.介绍生活中的变化（包括学习方式、购物模式、交通出行等方面）； 2.这些变化带给你的启发。 注意： 1.词数不少于100； 2.可适当加入细节，使内容充实、行文连贯。 Dear Chris, ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Jin 【答案】Dear Chris, I’m delighted to tell you about the remarkable changes in our lives in recent years.

It’s important that you make your choice confidently and after some consideration. There’s Nothing Wrong With Being “Undecided”. Between 20% and 50% of college freshmen enter school without a declared major. Keep in mind that there’s nothing wrong with remaining “undecided” or “undeclared” for the first few years of your college career. You can use this time to decide what you’re interested in. Also, keep in mind that even if you do declare a major your freshman year, you can always change your mind. About one-third of first-time college students change their major within three years. Even more, over 60% of college graduates say they would go back and change their major if they could, primarily to pursue their passion areas and expand their job opportunities. Explore Your Passions and Abilities. Set aside some time to really explore your passions and take stock of your unique abilities. With an undeclared major to start, you can take time to really delve deep into what interests you. Join clubs around campus to connect with fellow students who share your interests. Take electives in areas that you might not otherwise have an opportunity to experience. For example, when else might you be able to take a poetry course or an art history seminar? College is the perfect time to step out of your box and expand your horizons. As a student with an undeclared major, you’re uniquely positioned to do just that. Consider Employment Opportunities. While it’s important to choose a major that interests you, it’s also critical to choose a college major that will provide you with future employment opportunities. Statistically, the college majors that tend to have the most earning power are in STEM. These majors might include health sciences or computer engineering. Business majors can also expect a higher than average earning potential. That being said, employers frequently recognize that graduates who majored in the liberal arts have valuable soft skills, too, including strong communication, written and verbal skills, and leadership abilities. The key is to pick a major that will be marketable for the career you’re interested in pursuing. Talk to an Academic Advisor. If you need a little guidance, set up an appointment with an academic advisor or career counselors. Career development counselors and academic advisors can help you narrow down your options. If you have an idea of what classes you’ve most enjoyed and what career paths are most appealing to you, working with one of these professionals might be the final push you need to pick a major. Still have some doubts now? You can submit your questions Here. 36. What can we learn from the 2nd paragraph? A. Most graduates went back to college and changed their majors for a brighter future. B. Some students frequently change their majors throughout their college years. C. It is all right to remain undecided on majors for only the freshman year. D. You don’t necessarily need to declare your majors upon entering college. 37. You are advised to take electives as described in the 3rd paragraph because ______. A. the courses and seminars are popular with college students B. it helps you fully explore where your interest lies C. you can share your common interest with your fellow students D. your major lies in the areas and you can’t miss them 38. An example of having good soft skills is that ______ . A. you express yourself well in a controversial business discussion B. you fix the technical problems of computers in your office easily C. you quickly figure out why the communication equipment doesn’t work D. you never appoint but shoulder more of the workload at work 39. Which of the following statements is NOT true? A. Your major should be a reflection of your interests and career goals. B. Choose a major that will give you future employment opportunities: C. An academic advisor or career counselors will decide the major for you. D You should choose your major carefully and confidently. 40. Which of the following is the passage probably taken from? A. A high school newspaper. B. A website page. C. A university brochure. D. A popular magazine. B The whale, as big as a locomotive (火车头), jumped out of the water, spinning (旋转) as though for joy, before jumping back under the waves. We watched silently in astonishment, never having been so close to such a huge, fast-moving creature. It seemed almost possible to count the small shellfish on the whale's skin. In early December, gray whales, blue whales, and others had just started heading around the tip of Baja California, Mexico, moving as a community from the Pacific Ocean to the Sea of Cortez. It's in that protected waterway that pregnant whales give birth to their babies. Other whale babies, born the year before, could be seen sailing behind. All whale babies get two trips like this with their mom before they're ready to start having babies of their own and making the journey on their own. We're in one of several small powerboats, sent out by ScubaCaribe, which carries on such tours in Cabo San Lucas, the whales seemed to be, at times, less than 100 feet from our boat when they rushed out of the water. At other times, they would get much closer and swim beside the boat. “What if one lands on us?” a woman next to me wondered. Fernando Del Toro, the Destination Manager of ScubaCaribe said, “We haven't had any incidents (事件) of whales jumping over our boats as we always keep our distance. We're sure they themselves are probably careful not to crash into boats. Such an accident would probably also cause them much harm.” “Everyone can enjoy this magical trip,” said Del Toro. “However, we do not recommend (推荐) it for kids under 5 years old,” he added. Though conditions on the water vary, our trip was wonderful. Even when the boat sped up to catch up with the whales, there was little need to “hang on”, and some of us remained standing throughout most of the trip. Still, you may want to pack medicine for those who might get seasick while bouncing (颠簸行进) along the waves. 41. How does the author start the text? A. By telling a story. B. By asking questions. C. By describing a scene. D. By giving background information. 42. How did the author feel when seeing the jumping whales? A. Proud. B. Worried. C. Amazed. D. Discouraged. 43. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about? A. A description of the author's journey. B. A list of best places for whale-watching. C. An introduction to the travelling of whales. D. A suggestion on taking a whale-watching tour. 44. What does Del Toro say about whale-watching? A. It is suitable for all ages. B. It is much too dangerous. C. It may cause serious damage to wildlife. D. It should be done from a proper distance. 45. How was the author's trip? A. It was smooth. B. It was exhausting. C. It was destroyed by a storm. D. It was terrible due to his seasickness. C The other weekend I went to the mall in search of a new pair of tennis shoes. When I arrived at the: mall, the stores were crowded. Apparently, none of these shoppers had read Leaf Van Boven’s 2005 review article highlighting (强调) the benefits of spending money on experiences over material goods. When surveying various cultures to determine what makes people happyresearchers kept finding that having more is not equal to being happier. And people who try to have more are, in fact, less satisfied. For example, the more that people support the statement “Buying things gives me pleasure,” the less satisfied they are with their lives. But it seems this is only true if you are spending your money on “things” rather than “memories.” Whether people are asked to directly compare experiential vs.material purchases or to simply reflect on a specific recent purchase, they report that the experiential purchase made them happier, contributed more to their happiness, and was “money better spent.” Why is money spent to create memories better spent? In his review article VanBoven suggests that experiences are more personal and unique, and thus harder to compare. When people are asked whether they’d prefer to live in a world where they earned $50,000 a year while others earned $25,000 or a world where they earned $100,000 while others earned $200,000, about half of the people prefer to earn $50,000 if it means they earn more than everyone else. But when asked whether they’d prefer two weeks of vacation while everyone else got one, or four weeks while everyone else got eight, 85 percent of people prefer the four weeks even if other people get more. People are generally engaging in experiences with others, but purchasing a new pair of boots is more likely to be a lonely affair. There is also something negative associated with being materialistic and researchers have found that people tend to prefer to interact with other people who are “experiential” than those who are “materialistic.” Engaging in an experience together can also help people create shared memories and connections. 46. What did the author think of the shoppers mentioned in the first paragraph? A. They had a great interest in tennis. B. They cared more about material things. C. They lived a happier life than him. D. They opposed Van Boven’s theory. 47. What did the survey show? A. Happiness cannot be bought with money. B. Good memories cannot be replaced by money. y C. People in different cultures have the same opinion on happiness.. D. Experiential purchases produce greater happiness for consumers. 48. What do we learn from the figures in Paragraph 3? A. Material purchases aren’t affected by money B. Experiential purchases can’t be compared easily. C Most people want to be richer than others. D. Half the people want to have engaging experiences. 49. What’s the main idea of the last paragraph? A. Experiences help us create relationships. B. Materials give us a sense of dignity. C. Materials give us a sense of achievement. D. Experiences help us improve our social status. 50. What does the underlined part mean in the last paragraph? A. Giving in. B. Taking part in. C. Breaking in. D. Bringing in. D In recent years, a growing body of research has shown that our appetite and food intake are influenced by a large number of factors besides our biological need for energy, including our eating environment and our perception（感知） of the food in front of us. Studies have shown, for instance, that eating in front of the TV (or a similar distraction) can increase both hunger and the amount of food consumed. Even simple visual clues, like plate size and lighting, have been shown to affect portion size and consumption. A new study suggested that our short-term memory also may play a role in appetite. Several hours after a meal, people's hunger levels were predicted not by how much they’d eaten but rather by how much food they'd seen in front of them—in other words, how much they remembered eating. This disparity (新旧研究的差异）suggests the memory of our previous meal may have a bigger influence on our appetite than the actual size of the meal, says Jeffrey M. Brunstrom, a professor of experimental psychology at the University of Bristol. "Hunger isn't controlled individually by the physical characteristics of a recent meal. We have identified an independent role for memory for that meal，" Brunstrom says. "This shows that the relationship between hunger and food intake is more complex than we thought." These findings echo earlier research that suggests our perception of food can sometimes trick our body’s response to the food itself. In a 2011 study, for instance, people who drank the same 380-calorie milkshake on two separate occasions produced different levels of hunger-related hormones （荷尔蒙），depending on whether the shake’s label said it contained 620 or 140 calories. Moreover, the participants reported feeling more full when they thought they'd consumed a higher-calorie shake. What does this mean for our eating habits? Although it hardly seems practical to trick ourselves into eating less, the new findings do highlight the benefits of focusing on our food and avoiding TV and multitasking while eating. The so-called mindful-eating strategies can fight distractions and help us control our appetite, Brunstrom says. 51. What is said to be a factor affecting our appetite and food intake? A. How we feel the food we eat. B. When we eat our meals. C. What element the food contains. D. How fast we eat our meals. 52. What would happen at meal time if you remembered eating a lot in the previous meal? A. You would probably be more particular about food. B. You would not feel like eating the same food. C. You would have a good appetite. D. You would not feel so hungry. 53. What do we learn from the 2011 study? A. Food labels may mislead consumers in their purchases. B. Food labels may influence our body’s response to food. C. Hunger levels depend on one's consumption of calories. D. People tend to take in a lot more calories than necessary. 54. What does Brunstrom suggest we do to control our appetite? A. Trick ourselves into eating less. B. Choose food with fewer calories. C. Concentrate on food while eating. D. Pick dishes of the right size. 55. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Eating distractions often affect our food digestion. B. Psychological factors influence our hunger levels. C. Our food intake is determined by our biological needs. D. Good eating habits will contribute to our health. 第Ⅱ卷 非选择题 (满分35分) 第一节 阅读表达(共5小题; 每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读表达 27-year-old Lesley Kehoe and 29-year-old Gordon Bond had grown their daily travel from their home in County Kildare to their jobs in Dublin. They both loved their work, but they wanted a change and a break from their routine. Then one day they heard about Peig Sayers’ Cottage on Great Blasket Island and a decision was made immediately. Great Blasket Island, off the beautiful coast of County Kerry, was abandoned back in 1954 after a decline in population, along with concerns about the difficulty of reaching the island in the event of an emergency. The island, which remains largely unoccupied now, does not have electricity or hot running water. In April, Kehoe and Gordon packed their bags to head for Great Blasket Island. On the island, the couple worked to run Peig Sayers’ Cottage, a guest accommodation named after the famous Irish novelist who used to live and work there. Besides, they had to maintain the heritage(文化遗产) of Peig Sayers’ Cottage. Kehoe discussed the change of lifestyle she’s had on the island, “There’s a wind turbine(发电机) to generate electricity. It wouldn’ t be powerful enough to run a vacuum cleaner or anything, but it can charge my phone.” This didn’t hamper them from enjoying life there. Disconnecting from the rush of everyday life and getting off the grid (电网) made them feel relaxed. They enjoyed cooking on gas cookers and lighting candles for light. Kehoe even steeled herself and got used to taking cold showers. Kehoe often shared pictures and videos that showed a way of life that may seem foreign and idyllic(悠闲的) when compared to the modern “rat race”. The couple’s time on the island will terminate in October and Kehoe said they would be “heart-broken”to leave. She said, “I don’t think either of us is ready to leave the island; but we will have to go back to our old life. However, with this break I’ m sure we can work better after we return to our work.” 56. How did the couple react when hearing about Peig Sayers’Cottage?(no more than 10 words) 57. What did the couple mainly do on Great Blasket Island?(no more than 10 words) 58. What did the couple think of their electricity-free life?(no more than 5 words) 59. How do you understand the underlined word in Paragraph 5?(no more than 3 words) 60. What do you learn from the couple’s story?(no more than 20 words) 第二节：书面表达 (共1题，满分25分) 61. 假设你是晨光中学的李津，你的英国笔友Chris对中国近些年生活中的变化很感兴趣，请你给他写一封邮件，内容包含以下方面： 1.介绍生活中的变化（包括学习方式、购物模式、交通出行等方面）； 2.这些变化带给你的启发。 注意： 1.词数不少于100； 2.可适当加入细节，使内容充实、行文连贯。 Dear Chris, ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Jin 听力答案：1-5 BCBBC 6-10 ABCBA 11-15 CBBAB 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
