Half the size and crowded. There were still boxes here and there. The day after the move, while the kids were in school, I dealt with some boxes and put up the family photo. But it just didn’t feel like home. Maybe I could make some chocolate biscuits, just like my grandma used to do when I needed cheering up. When I put eggs into my mixer, it suddenly stopped working. “Really?” I felt like crying. What would my grandma do? During those hard times, she used whatever she had to support her family. I didn’t think Grandma would give up easily. She would find another way. So I ran to the boxes. I found Grandma’s old white mixer there! I turned it on…nothing. Ugh! The old mixer that was broken beyond repair (无法维修) was just like my life these days. “Come on, try again,” a small voice said. I turned the switch (开关) back on. To my surprise, it started to work slowly! Two hours later, the kids opened the door. “Mmmm, biscuits! Thank you, Mom,” they said, jumping excitedly. For the first time, our new house felt like home. It even smelled like home, just like Grandma’s house always did. Maybe this house wasn’t as big as our old one. But then again, maybe home wasn’t where we lived. It was where we shared the sweet moments and the small miracles (奇迹) of every day. Like a broken mixer that came back to life when I needed comfort most. 31.

If your shoulders are hunched (驼背的) and your head’s down, you feel different from the way you feel when you’re sitting or standing straight with your head up and your shoulders back. Try it for yourself. How do you feel now? Study found that when you’re hunched with your arms and legs crossed and looking down, your body releases (释放) chemicals. They can make you feel more worried. Doctor Maria Evans says ▲ . “When you stand with your back tall, legs apart (分开) and hands on hips, your body sends the message to your mind that you feel confident and strong.” Your body language doesn’t just affect how you feel, it tells other people how nervous or brave you feel too. Think about someone you see as confident. How do they carry themselves? Bring to mind a movie or TV role you like for being brave or strong and picture how they sit, stand or walk. See if you can do the same. If you’re feeling nervous, maybe before you sit a test or do something new, you can feel more confident by taking a power posture (姿势). Sit or stand up straight with both feet planted on the ground. Stretch (伸展) your arms out above your head. Keep your shoulders down and your head up to help you keep the confident feeling. Evans suggests doing a power posture for a few minutes before school. Notice how it makes you and how your mood changes and becomes more confident. 36. Paragraph 2 mainly tells us ________. A. sitting straight is good B. keeping shoulders down is bad C. feelings are important to us D. postures may affect feelings 37. What can we put in the ▲ in Paragraph 3? A. body language is very important B. the chemicals your body releases keep changing C. your body and mind are connected D. you can change your feelings by standing 38. What can we learn from Paragraph 3? A. Chemicals in your arms make you worried. B. A correct posture makes you feel more confident. C. Young people prefer standing with their back tall. D. Your body sends the message to keep you calm. 39. What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A. Body languages. B. Nervous feelings. C. Confident people. D. Brave persons. 40. Which of the following pictures shows a power posture? A. B. C. D. 【答案】36. D 37. C 38. B 39. C 40. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了自信不仅仅来自于你知道什么或怎么想，它也来自于你对自己身体的感受。你的肢体语言不仅影响你的感受，而且告诉其他人你有多紧张或勇敢。因此，我们可以通过肢体语言变得更加自信。 【36题详解】 主旨大意题。根据“If your shoulders are hunched (驼背的) and your head’s down, you feel different from the way you feel when you’re sitting or standing straight with your head up and your shoulders back. Try it for yourself. How do you feel now?”可知，本段主要讲述了姿势可能会影响你的感受。故选D。 【37题详解】 推理判断题。根据“your body releases (释放) chemicals. They can make you feel more worried...your body sends the message to your mind that you feel confident and strong.”可知此处介绍了人的身体和感受之间的关系。选项C“你的身心是相互联系的”符合语境。故选C。 【38题详解】 细节理解题。根据“When you stand with your back tall, legs apart (分开) and hands on hips, your body sends the message to your mind that you feel confident and strong.”可知，一个正确的姿势会让你感到更加自信。故选B。 【39题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“Your body language doesn’t just affect how you feel, it tells other people how nervous or brave you feel too. Think about someone you see as confident. How do they carry themselves?”可知，they指代的是“你看作是自信的人”即“自信的人”。故选C。 【40题详解】 推理判断题。根据“If you’re feeling nervous, maybe before you sit a test or do something new, you can feel more confident by taking a power posture (姿势). Sit or stand up straight with both feet planted on the ground. Stretch (伸展) your arms out above your head. Keep your shoulders down and your head up to help you keep the confident feeling.”可知，双脚着地，坐直或站直。把你的手臂伸过头顶。放下肩膀，抬起头来帮助你保持自信。A选项“坐直或站直，双脚着地。双臂举过头顶。保持肩膀下垂，抬头”属于有力姿势，其余三个选项都不是有力姿势。故选A。 D Everyone’s house smells in some way. You almost never even notice the way your own place smells. You notice the way everyone else’s place smells as you walk in. There are their cats, and the soap and the new furniture they just got. And those all add up to the way their house smells. But you can only smell your own house after you are away for a while—like, a long while. Not just a workday, but like a week. It has to do with sensory adaptation (感觉适应). That’s the scientific way to say that you just get used to it. Researcher Pamela Dalton did a lot of work on sensory adaptation. She and her team say that adaptation means you respond (反应) less when a stimulus (刺激物) is repeated. So when you’re at home, the smell of your house is all around you. It never goes away. It’s not just repeated—you’re swimming in it. So you get used to the way it smells. The thing with smell, though, is that you get used to smells really quickly. After “even a few breaths” of a smell, Dalton says, you begin to acclimate to it. You start to experience that smell as being less strong and finally take no note of it at all. That’s why you can smell your friend’s house when you walk in, but you don’t really notice it all the time you’re there. Being able to detect (探测) smells is important. It might tell you about danger like a tiger or something going bad in your drinks. Or it might mean something pleasant, like that fresh bread or the beautiful flowers. Your nose can stay on the lookout for new smells that are dangerous or delicious. It might be a simple housekeeping thing, like a dish washer in the kitchen or towels in the bathroom that need cleaning. Then, if you still want to change the way your house smells, many things might work, like candles, fresh fruits, or a bottle of perfume. 41. From Paragraph 2 we know our ________ may not be part of our house smells. A. cats B. soap C. new sofa D. old chairs 42. Pamela Dalton thinks ________. A. when a stimulus is repeated, people respond more B. when you’re at home, the smell of your house never goes away C. you don’t really smell your friend’s house all the time you’re there D. people have trouble getting used to smells quickly just after a few breaths 43. What does the underlined phrase “acclimate to” in Paragraph 5 mean in Chinese? A. 习惯 B. 区分 C. 讨厌 D. 忽视 44. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? A. You can smell your own house after you are away for a week or longer. B. When you’re at home, you’re swimming in the smell of your house. C.

B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了人们对气味有适应性及感觉气味的重要性。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据“There are their cats, and the soap, and the new fiumiture they just got.”可知，猫、肥皂、新的家具是家的味道的一部分，旧椅子不是。故选D。 【42题详解】 细节理解题。根据“So when you’re at home, the smell of your house is all around you. It never goes away.”可知，帕梅拉·道尔顿认为当你在家里时，家中的味道永远不会消失。故选B。 【43题详解】 推理判断题。根据“The thing with smell, though, is that you get used to smells really quickly.”可知，人们能够很快适应一种气味，猜测划线部分acclimate to意为“适应”。故选A。 【44题详解】 细节理解题。根据“It might tell you about danger like a tiger or something going bad in your drinks. Or it might mean something pleasant, like that fresh bread or the beautiful flowers.”可知，气味不仅能警告你有危险，还意味着一些愉快的事情，比如盛开的花朵，新出炉的面包。故选C。 【45题详解】 最佳标题题。根据全文内容可知，本文主要以“人们闻不见自己家里的味道”为例，说明了人们对气味有适应性。因此选项B“你为什么不能闻到你自己的房子?”可作为本文标题。故选B。 第二节 (共5小题； 每小题1分，满分5分) E 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的五个选项中选出能填入短文空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺、连贯，意思完整。 If you find yourself feeling a little less cheerful than you were when days are going from summer to autumn, it’s not your imagination (幻觉). ____46____ “It’s real,” said Kathryn Roecklein. “The changes don’t always affect everyone in the same way. But seasonal mood changes often include less energy, feeling less social, losing interest in favorite activities and changes in sleep. ____47____” There are a lot of reasons why our moods change with the season, but a big factor (因素) is light. “The hours of day, which are shortest in winter and longest in summer, are the main reason,” Roecklein said. ____48____ So it’s not surprising if you feel those mood changes around the same time. We should remember that “winter blues” is not something we can’t get over. ____49____ First, get yourself bathed in the sun. A walk outside in the sun in the morning will surely make you feel better. Second, eat healthily. ____50____ Besides, make time for your friends. A good chat with your best friends makes your day. A. Here are a few things you can do. B. Try more fruit, vegetables and drink lots of water. C. Sunsets are getting earlier and earlier when autumn begins. D. You may have trouble sleeping or want to sleep more than usual. E.

Half the size and crowded. There were still boxes here and there. The day after the move, while the kids were in school, I dealt with some boxes and put up the family photo. But it just didn’t feel like home. Maybe I could make some chocolate biscuits, just like my grandma used to do when I needed cheering up. When I put eggs into my mixer, it suddenly stopped working. “Really?” I felt like crying. What would my grandma do? During those hard times, she used whatever she had to support her family. I didn’t think Grandma would give up easily. She would find another way. So I ran to the boxes. I found Grandma’s old white mixer there! I turned it on…nothing. Ugh! The old mixer that was broken beyond repair (无法维修) was just like my life these days. “Come on, try again,” a small voice said. I turned the switch (开关) back on. To my surprise, it started to work slowly! Two hours later, the kids opened the door. “Mmmm, biscuits! Thank you, Mom,” they said, jumping excitedly. For the first time, our new house felt like home. It even smelled like home, just like Grandma’s house always did. Maybe this house wasn’t as big as our old one. But then again maybe home wasn’t where we lived. It was where we shared the sweet moments and the small miracles (奇迹) of every day. Like a broken mixer that came back to life when I needed comfort most. 31. What might make the writer upset at the beginning? A. The new apartment was small and crowded. B. Her mixer suddenly stopped working. C. Her own life these days was in a mess (一团糟). D. She missed her grandma very much. 32. The writer wants to make chocolate biscuits to ________.

Strong and smart. C. Popular and perfect. D. Kind and helpful. 34. What’s the right order of the following events? a. There was something wrong with the mixer. b. I planned to make some chocolate biscuits. c. I thought our new house felt like home. d. I put up the family photo. A. d-b-a-c B. b-a-d-c C. d-c-b-a D. b-a-c-d 35. What does the writer learn about home in the end? A. Home is where mom is. B. Everyone needs a dream home. C. A house is not a home. D. Where love is, there is home. C Being confident isn’t just about what you know or think; confidence comes from how you feel in your body too. If your shoulders are hunched (驼背的) and your head’s down, you feel different from the way you feel when you’re sitting or standing straight with your head up and your shoulders back. Try it for yourself. How do you feel now? Study found that when you’re hunched with your arms and legs crossed and looking down, your body releases (释放) chemicals. They can make you feel more worried. Doctor Maria Evans says ▲ . “When you stand with your back tall, legs apart (分开) and hands on hips, your body sends the message to your mind that you feel confident and strong.” Your body language doesn’t just affect how you feel, it tells other people how nervous or brave you feel too. Think about someone you see as confident. How do they carry themselves? Bring to mind a movie or TV role you like for being brave or strong and picture how they sit, stand or walk. See if you can do the same. If you’re feeling nervous, maybe before you sit a test or do something new, you can feel more confident by taking a power posture (姿势). Sit or stand up straight with both feet planted on the ground. Stretch (伸展) your arms out above your head. Keep your shoulders down and your head up to help you keep the confident feeling. Evans suggests doing a power posture for a few minutes before school. Notice how it makes you and how your mood changes and becomes more confident. 36. Paragraph 2 mainly tells us ________. A. sitting straight is good B. keeping shoulders down is bad C. feelings are important to us D. postures may affect feelings 37. What can we put in the ▲ in Paragraph 3? A. body language is very important B. the chemicals your body releases keep changing C. your body and mind are connected D. you can change your feelings by standing 38. What can we learn from Paragraph 3? A. Chemicals in your arms make you worried. B. A correct posture makes you feel more confident. C. Young people prefer standing with their back tall. D. Your body sends the message to keep you calm. 39. What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A. Body languages. B. Nervous feelings. C. Confident people. D. Brave persons. 40. Which of the following pictures shows a power posture? A. B. C. D. D Everyone’s house smells in some way. You almost never even notice the way your own place smells. You notice the way everyone else’s place smells as you walk in. There are their cats, and the soap and the new furniture they just got. And those all add up to the way their house smells. But you can only smell your own house after you are away for a while—like, a long while. Not just a workday, but like a week. It has to do with sensory adaptation (感觉适应). That’s the scientific way to say that you just get used to it. Researcher Pamela Dalton did a lot of work on sensory adaptation. She and her team say that adaptation means you respond (反应) less when a stimulus (刺激物) is repeated. So when you’re at home, the smell of your house is all around you. It never goes away. It’s not just repeated—you’re swimming in it. So you get used to the way it smells. The thing with smell, though, is that you get used to smells really quickly. After “even a few breaths” of a smell, Dalton says, you begin to acclimate to it. You start to experience that smell as being less strong and finally take no note of it at all. That’s why you can smell your friend’s house when you walk in, but you don’t really notice it all the time you’re there. Being able to detect (探测) smells is important. It might tell you about danger like a tiger or something going bad in your drinks. Or it might mean something pleasant, like that fresh bread or the beautiful flowers.
