B That cold January night, I was growing sick of my life in San Francisco. There I was, walking home at one in the morning after a tiring practice at the theater. With opening night only a week away, I was still learning my lines. I was having trouble dealing with my part-time job at the bank and my acting at night at the same time. As I walked, I thought seriously about giving up both acting and San Francisco. City life had become too much for me. As I walked down empty streets under tall buildings, I felt very small and cold. I began running, both to keep warm and to keep away from any possible robbers. Very few people were still out except a few sad-looking homeless people under blankets. About a block from my apartment, I heard a sound behind me. I turned quickly, half expecting to see someone with a knife or a gun. The street was empty. All I saw was a shining streetlight. Still, the noise had made me nervous, so I started to run faster. Not until I reached my apartment building and unlocked the door did I realize what the noise had been. It had been my wallet falling to the sidewalk. Suddenly I wasn’t cold or tired anymore. I ran out of the door and back to where I’d heard the noise. Although I searched the sidewalk anxiously for fifteen minutes, my wallet was nowhere to be found. Just as I was about to give up the search, I heard the garbage truck pulled up to the sidewalk next to me. When a voice called from the inside, “Alisa Camacho?” I thought I was dreaming. How could this man know my name? The door opened, and out jumped a small red-haired man with an amused look in his eyes: “Is this what you’re looking for?” he asked, holding up a small square shape. It was nearly 3 a.m. by the time I got into bed. I wouldn’t get much sleep that night, but I had gotten my wallet back. I also had gotten back some enjoyment of city life. I realized that the city couldn’t be a bad place as long as people were willing to help each other. 41. How did the author feel when she was walking home after work? A. Cold and sick. B. Fortunate and hopeful. C. Satisfied and cheerful. D. Disappointed and helpless. 42. What is the author’s problem in Paragraph 1? A. She didn’t know how to learn acting in an evening school. B. She failed to balance her part-time job and acting. C. She had to take part in various city activities. D. She gave up both acting and San Francisco. 43. On her way home the author ______. A. lost her wallet unknowingly B. was stopped by a garbage truck driver C. was robbed of her wallet by an armed man D. found some homeless people following her 44. In the fifth paragraph, why did the author say she was dreaming? A. Her wallet was found in a garbage truck. B. Someone offered to take her back home. C. She heard someone call her name. D. A red-haired man came to see her. 45. From the passage, we can infer that the author ______. A. would stop working at night B. would stay on in San Francisco C. would make friends with cleaners D. would give up her job at the bank C Although computer technology is often necessary today, using a pen or pencil activates more areas of your brain than a keyboard does. You can potentially remember more by handwriting, according to a new study. The potential benefits of handwriting for memory have been debated for some time. The new study set out to answer one question: How does handwriting compare to using a keyboard when it comes to remembering new information? In total 24 participants took part. Researchers asked each of them to write with a pen and then each was also asked to type on a keyboard. While performing these tasks, each volunteer wore a cap that held electrodes (电极) next to their head. It looked somewhat like a hair net fitted with 256 sensors. Those sensors recorded the participants’ brainwaves. The electrodes noted which parts of the brain turned on during each task. And they showed that writing turned on memory areas in the brain while typing didn’t. Audrey van der Meer, the new study’s leader, says this suggests that when we write by hand, we remember better. “This is because writing involves complex movements that activate more areas of the brain. The increased brain activity gives the brain more ‘hooks’ to hang your memories on.” she explains. Van der Meer also points out that writing by hand is related to visual notetaking. “Rather than typing blindly, the visual notetaker has to think about what is important to write down. Then, key words can be interlinked by boxes, arrows and small drawings,” she adds. This study does not recommend banning digital devices. In fact, its authors point out, computers and other devices with keyboards have become necessary in modern society. Keyboarding can especially benefit those with certain special needs (such as if they have trouble using their hands) and typing beats writing when it comes to speed, they add. 46. Why were participants asked to wear caps in the study? A. To record their brainwaves. B. To inform them of their tasks. C. To allow them to focus on writing. D. To protect their heads like hair nets. 47. What does Audrey van der Meer try to explain? A. Why handwriting is more complex than typing. B. Why the brain works when it comes to learning. C. Why small drawings are connected to memory. D. Why key words are helpful to visual notetaking. 48. What is the meaning of the underlined part in Paragraph 4? A. helps you to remember more details. B. reminds you to have regular reviews. C. tags your memories for further recalling. D. eases your tension of memorizing things. 49 What is the study’s authors’ view on typing? A. It relieves people’s bands. B. It remains vital and helpful. C. It is not worth recommending. D. It is more challenging than writing. 50. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A. How Can You Remember New Information? B. Handwriting Benefits Health in the Long Run C. Should Typing Take the Place of Handwriting? D. Handwriting Is Better for Memory Than Typing D Self-control is the ability to regulate and adjust responses in order to avoid undesirable behaviors, increase desirable ones, and achieve long-term goals. Common goals such as losing weight, exercising regularly, eating healthy food, giving up bad habits, and saving money are just a few worthwhile ambitions that people believe require self-control. One 2011 survey conducted by the American Psychological Association found that 27 percent of subjects identified a lack of willpower as the primary factor keeping them from reaching their goals. Researchers have found that people who have better self-control tend to be healthier and happier. In one experiment, students who exhibited greater self-control had better grades and higher test scores, and were more likely to be admitted to a competitive academic program. The study also found that when it came to academic success, self-control was a more important factor than IQ scores. The psychologist Walter Mischel conducted famous experiments in 1975 that were related to delayed gratification. In these experiments, children were offered a choice: they could choose to eat one treat right away, usually a cookie or a candy or they could wait for a brief period of time in order to get two treats. At this point, the researcher would leave the child alone in a room with a single treat. Not surprisingly, many of the kids chose to eat the single treat the moment the experimenters left the room. However, some of the kids were able to wait for the second treat. Based on his research, Mischel proposed what he referred to as a “hot-and-cool” system to explain the ability to delay gratification. The hot system refers to the part of our willpower that is emotional and impulsive ( 冲动的) and urges us to act upon our desires. The cool system is the part of our willpower that is rational ( 理性的) and thoughtful, and enables us to consider the consequences of our actions in order to resist our impulses. Self-control is an important skill that allows us to regulate behavior in order to achieve our long-term goals. Research has shown that self-control is not only important for goal attainment, and people with greater willpower also tend to do better on all sides. 51. From Paragraph 1, we can learn that a good self-control ability helps people . A. avoid various possible troubles B. communicate well with others C. show proper behaviors consciously D. deal with more important things timely 52. What kind of students does the author think will most probably do best in studies? A. Those having the highest IQ scores. B. Those respecting the teacher most. C. Those having the greatest willpower. D. Those performing most actively in class. 53. What does the underlined word “gratification” in Paragraph 3 most probably mean? A. Effect. B. Competition. C. Hardship. D. Enjoyment. 54. What can we learn from the experiments made by Mischel in 1975? A. Few children could get two treats. B. Not all the kids was short of patience. C. Most of the children ate another treat. D. Self-control is very important for one’s future. 55. Which of the following behaviors belongs to the cool system? A. Consuming plenty of sweet food. B. Staying up late at night often. C. Copying others’ homework. D. Quitting drinking high-sugar drinks. 四．阅读表达（每小题2分） 阅读下面短文并回答问题，然后将答案写到相应的位置上(请注意问题后的词数要求。) Teamwork is an important part of the health and fitness program at Spirit Club, where most of the participants have disabilities. Jared Ciner created the program two years ago, “Our main focus is the same thing as any other gym’s, which is to help people be active and healthy, but the difference is that we do change a little bit to make sure that it is right pace for the people we are working with, so that everybody can follow along.” Ciner used to work as a director for a local organization aimed at helping people with disabilities and as apart-time personal trainer at gyms. “I noticed that many of the people who I was working with who had disabilities did not exercise, struggled with weight problems, and were looking for more physical methods and more social ways,” he said. His volunteer experience in Ethiopia working with children from very poor families helped him understand the influence of organized physical activity, too. “That helped me realize how much organized physical activity can help people connect to each other and increase people’s self-esteem (自尊),” Ciner said. Classes at Spirit Club are interactive, and students can come with parents. They participate in partnered workouts and learn balance, strength, speed and agility (灵活性). They are also encouraged to eat right. Alan Bradshaw, who is mentally disabled, has been coming to classes for two years. “He recently lost 21 pounds,” said his mother. “He is more outgoing. When he first started, he couldn’t sit on the floor, get down on the floor. He is doing that now. Great changes have happened to him and it is an important step forward for him. He likes the gym because he can make friends easily and exercise at the same time,” she said. 56. What is the main purpose of the program at Spirit Club?

There I was, walking home at one in the morning after a tiring practice at the theater. With opening night only a week away, I was still learning my lines. I was having trouble dealing with my part-time job at the bank and my acting at night at the same time. As I walked, I thought seriously about giving up both acting and San Francisco. City life had become too much for me. As I walked down empty streets under tall buildings, I felt very small and cold. I began running, both to keep warm and to keep away from any possible robbers. Very few people were still out except a few sad-looking homeless people under blankets. About a block from my apartment, I heard a sound behind me. I turned quickly, half expecting to see someone with a knife or a gun. The street was empty. All I saw was a shining streetlight. Still, the noise had made me nervous, so I started to run faster. Not until I reached my apartment building and unlocked the door did I realize what the noise had been. It had been my wallet falling to the sidewalk. Suddenly I wasn’t cold or tired anymore. I ran out of the door and back to where I’d heard the noise. Although I searched the sidewalk anxiously for fifteen minutes, my wallet was nowhere to be found. Just as I was about to give up the search, I heard the garbage truck pulled up to the sidewalk next to me. When a voice called from the inside, “Alisa Camacho?” I thought I was dreaming. How could this man know my name? The door opened, and out jumped a small red-haired man with an amused look in his eyes: “Is this what you’re looking for?” he asked, holding up a small square shape. It was nearly 3 a.m. by the time I got into bed. I wouldn’t get much sleep that night, but I had gotten my wallet back. I also had gotten back some enjoyment of city life. I realized that the city couldn’t be a bad place as long as people were willing to help each other. 41. How did the author feel when she was walking home after work? A. Cold and sick. B. Fortunate and hopeful. C. Satisfied and cheerful. D. Disappointed and helpless. 42. What is the author’s problem in Paragraph 1? A. She didn’t know how to learn acting in an evening school. B. She failed to balance her part-time job and acting. C. She had to take part in various city activities. D. She gave up both acting and San Francisco. 43. On her way home the author ______. A. lost her wallet unknowingly B. was stopped by a garbage truck driver C. was robbed of her wallet by an armed man D. found some homeless people following her 44. In the fifth paragraph, why did the author say she was dreaming? A. Her wallet was found in a garbage truck. B. Someone offered to take her back home. C. She heard someone call her name. D. A red-haired man came to see her. 45. From the passage, we can infer that the author ______. A. would stop working at night B. would stay on in San Francisco C. would make friends with cleaners D. would give up her job at the bank 【答案】41. D 42. B 43. A 44. C 45. B 【解析】 【分析】本文属于记叙文。在一个失意的夜晚作者独自回家，工作及生活的不顺使作者心情沮丧，甚至于考虑要放弃在旧金山这个大都市的生活。然而随后发生的钱包失而复得的事情却让作者感受到了人们之间的温暖，也感受到了世界的美好，内心又充满了对城市生活的希望。 【41题详解】 推理判断题。根据首段“As I walked, I thought seriously about giving up both acting and San Francisco. City life had become too much for me.(我一边走，一边认真地考虑着要不要放弃演戏和旧金山。城市生活对我来说已经太多了)”可知，作者想放弃演戏甚至城市生活的消极心态说明了作者走在大街上的心情，用disappointed形容正确。第二段“As I walked down empty streets under tall buildings, I felt very small and cold.(当我走在高楼下面空荡荡的街道上时，我觉得自己非常渺小和寒冷)”可知，高楼和空寂的大街衬托出我的渺小和无助，因此用helpless形容也很正确。故选D。 【42题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段的“I was having trouble dealing with my part-time job at the bank and my acting at night at the same time.(我在银行的兼职工作和晚上的表演都让我很头疼)”可知，作者没有协调好兼职工作与表演之间的关系。故选B。 【43题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段的“Still, the noise had made me nervous, so I started to run faster. Not until I reached my apartment building and unlocked the door did I realize what the noise had been. It had been my wallet falling to the sidewalk.(尽管如此，那声音还是让我紧张，所以我开始跑得更快了。直到我到达我的公寓大楼，打开门，我才意识到刚才的声音是什么。原来是我的钱包掉到人行道上了)”可知，作者在回家的路上不知不觉地丢了钱包。故选A。 【44题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“When a voice called from the inside, “Alisa Camacho?” I thought I was dreaming.(这时有个声音从里面喊道“艾丽莎·卡马乔？”我以为我在做梦)”可知，听见有人叫他的名字，作者以为在做梦。故选C。 【45题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“I also had got back some enjoyment of city life. I realized that the city couldn't be a bad place as long as people were willing to help each other.(我也恢复了一些城市生活的乐趣。我意识到只要人们愿意互相帮助，城市就不会是一个糟糕的地方)”可推知，作者可能会继续留在旧金山。故选B。 C Although computer technology is often necessary today, using a pen or pencil activates more areas of your brain than a keyboard does. You can potentially remember more by handwriting, according to a new study. The potential benefits of handwriting for memory have been debated for some time. The new study set out to answer one question: How does handwriting compare to using a keyboard when it comes to remembering new information? In total 24 participants took part. Researchers asked each of them to write with a pen and then each was also asked to type on a keyboard. While performing these tasks, each volunteer wore a cap that held electrodes (电极) next to their head. It looked somewhat like a hair net fitted with 256 sensors. Those sensors recorded the participants’ brainwaves. The electrodes noted which parts of the brain turned on during each task. And they showed that writing turned on memory areas in the brain while typing didn’t. Audrey van der Meer, the new study’s leader, says this suggests that when we write by hand, we remember better. “This is because writing involves complex movements that activate more areas of the brain. The increased brain activity gives the brain more ‘hooks’ to hang your memories on.” she explains. Van der Meer also points out that writing by hand is related to visual notetaking. “Rather than typing blindly, the visual notetaker has to think about what is important to write down. Then, key words can be interlinked by boxes, arrows and small drawings,” she adds. This study does not recommend banning digital devices. In fact, its authors point out, computers and other devices with keyboards have become necessary in modern society. Keyboarding can especially benefit those with certain special needs (such as if they have trouble using their hands) and typing beats writing when it comes to speed, they add. 46. Why were participants asked to wear caps in the study? A. To record their brainwaves. B. To inform them of their tasks. C. To allow them to focus on writing. D. To protect their heads like hair nets. 47. What does Audrey van der Meer try to explain? A. Why handwriting is more complex than typing. B. Why the brain works when it comes to learning. C. Why small drawings are connected to memory. D. Why key words are helpful to visual notetaking. 48. What is the meaning of the underlined part in Paragraph 4? A. helps you to remember more details. B. reminds you to have regular reviews. C. tags your memories for further recalling. D. eases your tension of memorizing things. 49. What is the study’s authors’ view on typing? A. It relieves people’s bands. B. It remains vital and helpful. C. It is not worth recommending. D. It is more challenging than writing. 50. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A. How Can You Remember New Information? B. Handwriting Benefits Health in the Long Run C. Should Typing Take the Place of Handwriting? D. Handwriting Is Better for Memory Than Typing 【答案】46. A 47. A 48. A 49. B 50. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了一项新研究表明，手写更有利于记忆，介绍了研究开展的经过，研究的负责人还解释了为什么手写比打字复杂以及研究的作者对使用键盘的看法。 【46题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“While performing these tasks, each volunteer wore a cap that held electrodes（电极）next to their head. It looked somewhat like a hair net fitted with 256 sensors. Those sensors recorded the participants’ brainwaves.(在执行这些任务时，每个志愿者都戴着一顶帽子，帽子上把电极放在他们的头上。它看起来有点像一个装有256个传感器的发网。这些传感器记录了参与者的脑电波。)”可知，参与者被要求在研究中戴帽子是为了记录他们的脑电波。故选A。 【47题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Audrey van der Meer, the new study’s leader, says this suggests that when we write by hand, we remember better. “This is because writing involves complex movements that activate more areas of the brain. The increased brain activity gives the brain more ‘hooks’ to hang your memories on.” she explains.(这项新研究的负责人奥德丽·范德米尔(Audrey van der Meer)说，“这表明当我们用手写字时，我们的记忆力更好。这是因为书写涉及复杂的运动，可以激活大脑的更多区域。大脑活动的增加会让大脑有更多的“钩子”来勾住你的记忆。”她解释说。)”可知，AudreyvanderMeer试图解释为什么手写比打字复杂。故选A。 【48题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段的“when we write by hand, we remember better(当我们用手写字时，我们记得更好)”和“This is because writing involves complex movements that activate more areas of the brain(这是因为写作涉及复杂的运动，可以激活大脑的更多区域)”可知，划线部分所在的句子表示“大脑活动的增加会让大脑有更多的“钩子”来勾住你的记忆”，也就是帮助你记住更多的东西，因此划线部分的意思是“帮助你记住更多的细节”，即helps you to remember more details，故选A。 【49题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“In fact, its authors point out, computers and other devices with keyboards have become necessary in modern society. Keyboarding can especially benefit those with certain special needs（such as if they have trouble using their hands）and typing beats writing when it comes to speed, they add.(事实上，作者指出，电脑和其他有键盘的设备已经成为现代社会的必需品。他们补充说，键盘对那些有特殊需求的人(比如他们的手使用有困难)尤其有好处，在速度方面，打字比写作更有优势。)”可知，该研究的作者认为打字仍然是至关重要和有益的。故选B。 【50题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文的主要内容，尤其第一段的“Although computer technology is often necessary today, using a pen or pencil activates more areas of your brain than a keyboard does. You can potentially remember more by handwriting, according to a new study.(虽然计算机技术在今天是必不可少的，但使用钢笔或铅笔比使用键盘更能激活大脑的某些区域。根据一项新的研究，你可能通过书写来记住更多的东西。)”可知，文章主要说明了一项新研究表明，手写更有利于记忆，介绍了研究开展的经过，研究的负责人还解释了为什么手写比打字复杂以及研究的作者对使用键盘的看法。可知，D选项“Handwriting Is Better for Memory Than Typing(书写比打字更利于记忆)”最符合文章标题。故选D。 D Self-control is the ability to regulate and adjust responses in order to avoid undesirable behaviors, increase desirable ones, and achieve long-term goals. Common goals such as losing weight, exercising regularly, eating healthy food, giving up bad habits, and saving money are just a few worthwhile ambitions that people believe require self-control. One 2011 survey conducted by the American Psychological Association found that 27 percent of subjects identified a lack of willpower as the primary factor keeping them from reaching their goals. Researchers have found that people who have better self-control tend to be healthier and happier. In one experiment, students who exhibited greater self-control had better grades and higher test scores, and were more likely to be admitted to a competitive academic program. The study also found that when it came to academic success, self-control was a more important factor than IQ scores. The psychologist Walter Mischel conducted famous experiments in 1975 that were related to delayed gratification. In these experiments, children were offered a choice: they could choose to eat one treat right away, usually a cookie or a candy or they could wait for a brief period of time in order to get two treats. At this point, the researcher would leave the child alone in a room with a single treat. Not surprisingly, many of the kids chose to eat the single treat the moment the experimenters left the room. However, some of the kids were able to wait for the second treat. Based on his research, Mischel proposed what he referred to as a “hot-and-cool” system to explain the ability to delay gratification. The hot system refers to the part of our willpower that is emotional and impulsive ( 冲动的) and urges us to act upon our desires. The cool system is the part of our willpower that is rational ( 理性的) and thoughtful, and enables us to consider the consequences of our actions in order to resist our impulses. Self-control is an important skill that allows us to regulate behavior in order to achieve our long-term goals. Research has shown that self-control is not only important for goal attainment, and people with greater willpower also tend to do better on all sides. 51.

What kind of students does the author think will most probably do best in studies? A. Those having the highest IQ scores. B. Those respecting the teacher most. C. Those having the greatest willpower. D. Those performing most actively in class. 53. What does the underlined word “gratification” in Paragraph 3 most probably mean? A. Effect. B. Competition. C. Hardship. D. Enjoyment. 54. What can we learn from the experiments made by Mischel in 1975? A. Few children could get two treats. B. Not all the kids was short of patience. C. Most of the children ate another treat. D. Self-control is very important for one’s future. 55. Which of the following behaviors belongs to the cool system? A. Consuming plenty of sweet food. B. Staying up late at night often. C. Copying others’ homework. D. Quitting drinking high-sugar drinks. 【答案】51. C 52. C 53. D 54. B 55. D 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。主要说明了自我控制是一项重要的技能，它使我们能够规范行为，以实现我们的长期目标。研究表明，自我控制不仅对实现目标很重要，而且意志力更强的人往往在各方面都做得更好。同时分析了自控力的形成原因。 【51题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段第一句Self-control is the ability to regulate and adjust responses in order to avoid undesirable behaviors, increase desirable ones, and achieve long-term goals.可知自我控制是为了避免不良行为、增加可取行为和实现长期目标而调节和调整反应的能力。即良好的自我控制能力可以帮助人们有意识地表现出正确的行为。故选C。 【52题详解】 细节理解题。第二段中In one experiment, students who exhibited greater self-control had better grades and higher test scores, and were more likely to be admitted to a competitive academic program.可知表现出更强自我控制能力的学生成绩更好，考试分数更高，更有可能被一个竞争激烈的学术项目录取。即意志力最强的学生最有可能在学习上取得最好的成绩。故选C。 【53题详解】 词义猜测题。根据下文In these experiments, children were offered a choice: they could choose to eat one treat right away, usually a cookie or a candy or they could wait for a brief period of time in order to get two treats.（在这些实验中，孩子们被提供了一个选择:他们可以选择马上吃一种零食，通常是一块饼干或一块糖果，或者他们可以等一小段时间，以便得到两种零食。）可推知让小孩选择立即吃一颗糖，还是等待后吃两颗糖这个实验是有关于“延迟满足”的，故划线部分单词意思为“享受；满足”，A. Effect.影响；B. Competition.竞争；C. Hardship.困苦；D. Enjoyment.享受。故选D。 【54题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段Not surprisingly, many of the kids chose to eat the single treat the moment the experimenters left the room. However, some of the kids were able to wait for the second treat.（不出所料，许多孩子在实验者离开房间的那一刻就选择了吃单一的食物。然而，一些孩子能够等待第二次治疗。）可知我们能从米歇尔1975年的实验中了解到并不是所有的孩子都缺乏耐心。故选B。 【55题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段最后一句The cool system is the part of our willpower that is rational and thoughtful, and enables us to consider the consequences of our actions in order to resist our impulses.（冷系统是我们意志力的一部分，它是理性的、深思熟虑的，它使我们能够考虑我们行为的后果，从而抑制我们的冲动。）可知冷系统是我们意志力的一部分是理性和周到的，是我们可以考虑我们行为的后果。分析选项只有D选项“停止喝高糖饮料”是考虑行为后果的做法，故选D。 【点睛】推理判断题要求考生在理解原文表面文字信息的基础上，做出一定的判断和推理，从而得出文章的隐含意义和深层意义。推理判断题属于主观性较强的高层次阅读理解题，做这类题目时，同学们应严格依据作者所陈述的细节、事实以及作者的措词、态度和语气等，找出能够表露作者思想倾向和感情色彩的词语，然后利用自己已获得的相关知识进行推理判断，从而得出符合逻辑的结论。如第五小题，根据倒数第二段最后一句The cool system is the part of our willpower that is rational and thoughtful, and enables us to consider the consequences of our actions in order to resist our impulses.（冷系统是我们意志力的一部分，它是理性的、深思熟虑的，它使我们能够考虑我们行为的后果，从而抑制我们的冲动。）可知冷系统是我们意志力的一部分是理性和周到的，是我们可以考虑我们行为的后果。分析选项只有D选项“停止喝高糖饮料”是考虑行为后果的做法，故选D。 四．阅读表达（每小题2分） 阅读下面短文并回答问题，然后将答案写到相应的位置上(请注意问题后的词数要求。) Teamwork is an important part of the health and fitness program at Spirit Club, where most of the participants have disabilities. Jared Ciner created the program two years ago, “Our main focus is the same thing as any other gym’s, which is to help people be active and healthy, but the difference is that we do change a little bit to make sure that it is right pace for the people we are working with, so that everybody can follow along.” Ciner used to work as a director for a local organization aimed at helping people with disabilities and as apart-time personal trainer at gyms. “I noticed that many of the people who I was working with who had disabilities did not exercise, struggled with weight problems, and were looking for more physical methods and more social ways,” he said. His volunteer experience in Ethiopia working with children from very poor families helped him understand the influence of organized physical activity, too. “That helped me realize how much organized physical activity can help people connect to each other and increase people’s self-esteem (自尊),” Ciner said. Classes at Spirit Club are interactive, and students can come with parents. They participate in partnered workouts and learn balance, strength, speed and agility (灵活性). They are also encouraged to eat right. Alan Bradshaw, who is mentally disabled, has been coming to classes for two years. “He recently lost 21 pounds,” said his mother. “He is more outgoing. When he first started, he couldn’t sit on the floor, get down on the floor. He is doing that now. Great changes have happened to him and it is an important step forward for him. He likes the gym because he can make friends easily and exercise at the same time,” she said. 56. What is the main purpose of the program at Spirit Club? (no more than 8 words) _________________________________________________________________________ 57. What was Jared Ciner before he created Spirit Club?

(no more than 25 words) _________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】56. To help people be active and healthy. 57. He worked as a director for a local organization and a personal trainer at gyms. 58. It can help people connect to each other and increase their self-esteem. 59. Great progress. 60. I think it great. It helps people stay healthy and communicate with each other. 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。报道了精神俱乐部的健康和健身计划，该计划专注于帮助残疾人保持活跃和健康。 【56题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第二段“Our main focus is the same thing as any other gym’s, which is to help people be active and healthy, but the difference is that we do change a little bit to make sure that it is right pace for the people we are working with, so that everybody can follow along.(我们的主要重点和其他任何健身房一样，就是帮助人们积极和健康，但不同的是，我们确实做了一些改变，以确保它是适合我们工作的人的节奏，这样每个人都能跟上)”可知，精神俱乐部活动的主要目的是帮助人们保持活跃和健康。故回答：To help people be active and healthy. 【57题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第三段“Ciner used to work as a director for a local organization aimed at helping people with disabilities and as apart-time personal trainer at gyms.(Ciner曾在当地一家旨在帮助残疾人的组织担任主管，并在健身房担任兼职私人教练)”可知，Ciner在创建精神俱乐部之前曾在当地一家机构担任主管，并在健身房担任私人教练。故回答：He worked as a director for a local organization and a personal trainer at gyms. 【58题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第四段““That helped me realize how much organized physical activity can help people connect to each other and increase people’s self-esteem (自尊),” Ciner said.(Ciner说：“这让我意识到有组织的体育活动可以帮助人们相互联系，提高人们的自尊心。”)”可知，Ciner认为有组织的体育活动可以帮助人们相互联系，增强他们的自尊。故回答：It can help people connect to each other and increase their self-esteem. 【59题详解】 考查词句猜测。根据前文“Alan Bradshaw, who is mentally disabled, has been coming to classes for two years. “He recently lost 21 pounds,” said his mother. “He is more outgoing. When he first started, he couldn’t sit on the floor, get down on the floor. He is doing that now.(智障人士艾伦·布拉德肖(Alan Bradshaw)已经来上课两年了。“他最近瘦了21磅，”他妈妈说。“他更外向了。当他刚开始的时候，他不能坐在地板上，不能在地板上坐下。他现在正在这么做)”可知，他更外向了，发生了很大的变化，所以推测an important step forward应是“很大的进步”之意，可替换为great progress。故填Great progress. 【60题详解】 开放性问题。本题可根据俱乐部的宗旨以及取得的成果方面进行回答，例如，可说它帮助人们保持健康和相互交流。故回答：I think it great. It helps people stay healthy and communicate with each other. 五、书面表达：本大题共1小题，共25分。 61. 假定你是李华，你所在社区计划举行中国传统文化节并准备在英文网站上邀请外国游客参加。请你给社区写一封邮件申请做文化节志愿者。内容包括： (1)写信目的；(2)个人优势；(3)希望获准。词数100左右。 Dear Sir or Madam, _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Sir or Madam, Learning that volunteers are needed for the coming Chinese Traditional Culture Festival in our community, I’m delightedly writing to apply for the job.
