She found it hard to make new friends and get used to new teachers. She felt the huge buildings were too huge. She decided that she would just remember where her classes were and then try to put the rest of the places out of her mind. All of this changed after a P. E. class. One day in P. E., the coach said that everyone had to run one mile around the track. Riya searched the faces of her classmates for signs of worry. There was nothing she was afraid of more than having to run a whole mile. When the coach blew his whistle, Riya thought most of her classmates would pass her. “It’s just the beginning.” she thought, “I’ll come in last for sure. But what. should I do? I cannot just stop here!” Riya started using a mind trick on herself. She stopped thinking about the word “mile”. Instead, she decided to first reach the big tree up ahead. Then she ran to the place where the track turned. After that, she tried to see if she could finish her first lap. One lap turned into two, then three, then four. When the coach gave her a high five and said “Nice work”, Riya was surprised. She could not believe that she had just run a whole mile. As Riya walked back to the school building after P. E., she noticed that she felt less worried about its size. Maybe she would come to know the buildings one after another. All her other worries about new school life seemed to disappear as well because she knew that she would solve problems one lap at a time just like the one-mile run. 29.

Do you avoid going to certain places, seeing friends or doing certain things because of your worries? Do your worries keep you awake at night? If you’ve answered yes, you may be suffering from anxiety. Anxiety is a normal and necessary part of life. Anxiety is your brain’s way of telling you about danger. It is anxiety which helps you jump out of the way if a car is speeding towards you. But if it gets out of hand, anxiety can get in the way of your getting on with life and can become a real problem. If this is the case for you, treatment may be a helpful way for you to get your anxiety under control. Anxiety is a normal part of life. Some people may feel uneasy if moving to a new place and some may get overly anxious in certain situations. There are lots of reasons for this. One main reason is after a stressful thing which has happened in your life. So, if you are involved in a car crash, it’s quite likely that you will be more worried than other people around cars and driving. Being anxious also probably runs in families. If your parents suffer from anxiety then you are more likely to be anxious too. This is probably partly due to genetics, and partly because of how things are when you’re growing up. Even though people don’t talk about it much, anxiety is one of the most common mental health problems. About 1 in 4 people will have an anxiety problem at some time in their life. If you have an anxiety problem, it’s hard for other people to understand why something that doesn’t worry them, like being in a crowd of people, can be so scary for you. This can make you feel separated and lonely, as may become worse and worse. The good news is there are lots of excellent treatments available for anxiety. These include taking therapies (疗法) and drugs. 32. Which of the following statements is true about anxiety? A. With anxiety you are far away from traffic accidents. B. It’s not normal for people to get too anxious after a stressful thing. C. Almost everybody has a certain degree of anxiety in certain situations. D. When you feel stressed out, scared or worried, you are surely suffering from anxiety. 33 Which of the following reasons for anxiety is NOT mentioned in the passage? A. Illness. B. Experience. C. Genetics. D. Environment. 34. What can we learn from paragraph 5 and 6 in the passage? A. Anxiety is the most common mental health problem B. Those suffering from anxiety need others’ understanding badly. C. About a quarter of the population are suffering from anxiety now. D. Once you suffer from anxiety, you’d better look for medical treatment. 35. The writer will most probably talk about ________ following this passage A. what is about anxiety B. what causes anxiety C. how to deal with anxiety D. when anxiety becomes serious 【答案】32. C 33. A 34. B 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了生活中可能面临焦虑，焦虑是我们生活中正常和必要的部分，但令人高兴的是，有很多有效的治疗焦虑的方法，如进行全面治疗和服用药物。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Anxiety is a normal part of life. Some people may feel uneasy if moving to a new place and some may get overly anxious in certain situations.”可知，几乎每个人在特定情况下都有一定程度的焦虑。故选C。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据“So, if you are involved in a car crash, it’s quite likely that you will be more worried than other people around cars and driving.”及“This is probably partly due to genetics, and partly because of how things are when you’re growing up.”可知，文中提到焦虑的原因有经历、遗传和环境，没有提到疾病。故选A。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据“it’s hard for other people to understand why something that doesn’t worry them, like being in a crowd of people, can be so scary for you. This can make you feel separated and lonely, as may become worse and worse.”可知，受焦虑折磨的人如果不被理解，情况就会更加糟糕。故选B。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据“The good news is there are lots of excellent treatments available for anxiety.”可知，作者接下来很有可能介绍如何治疗焦虑。故选C。 D I recently spent an evening trying to choose a cup on Amazon. Nearly an hour later, after having read countless reviews about dozens of kinds, I felt tired and simply gave up. The next day, I happily bought the only kind the local store offered. Too many choices make us tired and unhappy and lead us to sometimes avoid making a decision. Researcher Barry Schwartz calls this “choice overload”. “As the number of options(可选择的事物)increases, the costs in time and effort of collecting the information needed to make a good choice also increase,” writes Schwartz. “The level of certainty people have about their choice decreases. And the possibility that they will regret their choice increases.” Understanding how and why we make decisions can perhaps help us make better choices. We make poorer decisions when we are tired. The mind can only deal with so many options and make so many choices before it starts to lose energy. That’s why buys like candy bars and magazines at the checkout(付款处)in the store can be hard to resist, We’ve used up all our good decision— making skills. The same goes for our workday. Making lots of decisions not only tires us, it can put us in a bad mood. That’s why it’s important to make your most important decisions in the morning rather than at the end of a tiring day. When we’re tired, we often save our energy by making choices based on a single factor(因素)like price, rather than considering all the other factors that go into making the best decision. Another study out of Columbia University shows that this happens when people are given a lot of features(特点)to choose from when buying a car. After a while, people start asking for the common option rather than carefully weighing each decision. This can also happen when faced with a decision in your creative work. Given endless options of which route to take, we sometimes end up going with the more usual path simply because it’s the easier way to go.

They like to run in hot weather and enjoy the feeling of being wet through with sweat while running. Cold weather during winter months, with low temperatures and freezing cold winds, may keep many people from running in the open air. However, a new study shows that the drop in temperature is a good reason to run. In fact, running in cold weather helps improve one’s performance. Many runners might find it easier to run in winter than in hot weather. The body needs less water on a cold day than in warm weather. In addition, lower temperatures reduce stress on the body. When you run in cold weather, your heart rate is lower. John Brewer is a professor of applied sports science at St. Mary’s University in London. For this study, he and other researchers put a group of people into a room where summer and winter weather conditions are recreated. The test subjects (对象), were asked to run 10,000 meters under both conditions and their biological measurements were recorded and studied. From the study, every movement runners make produces heat. The heat can be really damaging unless the body can lose it. One way in which people lose heat is by sweating. The body loses heat through sweat. The body also loses it by transporting (输送) the blood to the surface of the skin and it puts more stress on the heart, especially in hot conditions because it’s much harder to lose heat when the outside environment is warm. As the result shows, running in hot temperatures results in 6 percent higher heart rates. When running in cold conditions, the body does not have to work hard to move blood to the skin surface. Therefore, it requires less energy. The most important thing for people who run in cold conditions is to wear the right clothing. Keep as dry as possible when exercising in low temperatures. Wear warm and light clothing to keep sweat away from your skin. So don’t let winter weather keep you indoors. Simply get ready for the low temperatures and start running. 40. Do people like to run in cold weather? _______________________________ 41. Why did John Brewer make a group of people run in a room? _______________________________ 42. How do people lose heat? _______________________________ 43. Why is it the most important to wear the right clothing for people running in cold condition? _______________________________ 44. What is the main purpose in writing this passage? _______________________________ 【答案】40. No, they don’t. 41. Because he wanted to record and study the test subjects' biological measurements when they run under different weather conditions. 42. People lose heat by sweating and transporting the blood to the surface of the skin. 43. Because wearing the right clothing can help keep as dry as possible and keep sweat away from the skin when exercising in low temperatures. 44. The main purpose is to encourage people to run in cold weather. 【解析】 【导语】本文指出很多人喜欢跑步健身，但冬季寒冷天气会阻碍人们户外跑步。然而新研究表明，低温是跑步的好理由，在寒冷天气跑步有助于提升表现、减轻身体负担等。还介绍了相关研究过程及人体散热原理，最后提醒寒冷天气跑步要注意着装。 【40题详解】 根据原文“Cold weather during winter months, with low temperatures and freezing cold winds, may keep many people from running in the open air.” 可知，寒冷天气会阻止很多人户外跑步，说明人们不喜欢在寒冷天气跑步。故填No, they don’t. 【41题详解】 根据原文“For this study, he and other researchers put a group of people into a room where summer and winter weather conditions are recreated. The test subjects were asked to run 10,000 meters under both conditions and their biological measurements were recorded and studied.” 可知，是为了进行研究，记录和研究测试对象在不同天气条件下跑步的生理指标。故填Because he wanted to record and study the test subjects’biological measurements when they run under different weather conditions. 【42题详解】 根据原文“One way in which people lose heat is by sweating. The body loses heat through the sweat. The body also loses it by transporting the blood to the surface of the skin” 可知，人们通过出汗和将血液输送到皮肤表面散热。故填People lose heat by sweating and transporting the blood to the surface of the skin. 【43题详解】 根据原文“When running in cold conditions... The most important thing for people who run in cold conditions is to wear the right clothing. Keep as dry as possible when exercising in low temperatures. Wear warm and light clothing to keep sweat away from your skin.” 可知，合适着装能在低温运动时保持干爽，避免汗水接触皮肤。故填Because wearing the right clothing can help keep as dry as possible and keep sweat away from the skin when exercising in low temperatures. 【44题详解】 通读原文可知，文章先讲寒冷天气阻碍跑步，接着阐述寒冷天气跑步的好处及相关研究，最后提醒着装，整体是鼓励人们在寒冷天气跑步。故填The main purpose is to encourage people to run in cold weather. 九、文段表达 （共10分） 58. 从下面两个题目中任选一题，根据中文和英文提示，写出意思连贯、符合逻辑、不少于60词的短文。所给英文提示词语仅供选用，请不要写出你的校名和姓名。请在答题纸上把你所选题目后的方框涂黑。 题目① 45. 热爱劳动，从做家务开始。 每个家庭都有许多家务，人人都应该参与家务劳动。谈谈你经常在家里做哪些家务，有什么体会，你从做家务中学到了什么？ 提示词语：do the dishes, look after, be proud, skills 提示问题：·What housework do you often do? ·How do you feel? ·What have you learned from it?

I’d like to share my story with you. Last term, I had a big problem with my studies. I was falling behind in math. I was so worried that I even started to avoid math classes. The main reason was that I didn’t understand the complex formulas and always made mistakes in problem-solving. To solve this problem I first had a heart-to-heart communication with my math teacher. I told her about my confusion and fear. She gave me some practical advice, suggesting that I start from the basic knowledge and do more targeted exercises. Then, I made a study plan. I allocated extra time every day to review math concepts and do exercises. Also, I joined a study group. We discussed difficult problems together and helped each other. Thanks to these efforts, I gradually caught up. I worked out many difficult problems that I couldn’t solve before. From this experience, I’ve learned that when facing problems, we should not be afraid or run away. Instead, we should communicate actively, seek advice, and take practical actions. Only in this way can we overcome difficulties and grow. 【解析】 【详解】[总体分析] ①题材：这是一篇征文类的应用文，以第一人称叙述个人经历。 ②时态：使用一般过去时描述遇到问题和解决问题的过程，在阐述感悟时用一般现在时。 ③提示：写作需涵盖遇到的问题、解决方式和从中的领悟，且要运用给定提示词语。 [写作步骤] 第一步、表明写作意图：开篇直接表明要分享个人故事，简洁引入主题。 第二步、具体阐述写作内容：通过问题描述，明确指出上学期在数学学习上落后，解释原因是对复杂公式不理解及解题易出错。再描述解决方式，最后加入学习小组共同攻克难题。 第三步、书写结语：阐述从解决数学学习问题中领悟到面对问题不应逃避，要积极沟通、寻求建议并付诸行动才能克服困难成长。 [亮点词汇] ①fall behind落后 ②heart-to-heart communication坦诚的交流 ③allocate分配；拨出 ④thanks to多亏；幸亏 [高分句型] ①I was so worried that I even started to avoid math classes.

She found it hard to make new friends and get used to new teachers. She felt the huge buildings were too huge. She decided that she would just remember where her classes were and then try to put the rest of the places out of her mind. All of this changed after a P. E. class. One day in P. E., the coach said that everyone had to run one mile around the track. Riya searched the faces of her classmates for signs of worry. There was nothing she was afraid of more than having to run a whole mile. When the coach blew his whistle Riya thought most of her classmates would pass her. “It’s just the beginning.” she thought, “I’ll come in last for sure. But what. should I do? I cannot just stop here!” Riya started using a mind trick on herself. She stopped thinking about the word “mile”. Instead, she decided to first reach the big tree up ahead. Then she ran to the place where the track turned. After that, she tried to see if she could finish her first lap. One lap turned into two, then three, then four. When the coach gave her a high five and said “Nice work”, Riya was surprised. She could not believe that she had just run a whole mile. As Riya walked back to the school building after P. E., she noticed that she felt less worried about its size. Maybe she would come to know the buildings one after another. All her other worries about new school life seemed to disappear as well because she knew that she would solve problems one lap at a time just like the one-mile run. 29. How was the first week of high school for Riya? A. Relaxing B. Difficult C. Fantastic D. Boring 30. What can we know from paragraph 4? A. The coach taught Riya a mind trick before the run. B. Riya decided to first reach where the track turned. C. Riya couldn’t stop thinking about the word “mile” D. A mind trick helped Riya run a whole mile successfully. 31. After P. E., Riya probably ________. A. felt less worried B. planted more trees C. became a faster runner D. found her school really small C Are you stressed out, scared or worried all the time? Do you avoid going to certain places, seeing friends or doing certain things because of your worries? Do your worries keep you awake at night? If you’ve answered yes, you may be suffering from anxiety. Anxiety is a normal and necessary part of life. Anxiety is your brain’s way of telling you about danger. It is anxiety which helps you jump out of the way if a car is speeding towards you. But if it gets out of hand, anxiety can get in the way of your getting on with life and can become a real problem. If this is the case for you, treatment may be a helpful way for you to get your anxiety under control. Anxiety is a normal part of life. Some people may feel uneasy if moving to a new place and some may get overly anxious in certain situations. There are lots of reasons for this. One main reason is after a stressful thing which has happened in your life. So, if you are involved in a car crash, it’s quite likely that you will be more worried than other people around cars and driving. Being anxious also probably runs in families. If your parents suffer from anxiety then you are more likely to be anxious too. This is probably partly due to genetics, and partly because of how things are when you’re growing up. Even though people don’t talk about it much, anxiety is one of the most common mental health problems. About 1 in 4 people will have an anxiety problem at some time in their life. If you have an anxiety problem, it’s hard for other people to understand why something that doesn’t worry them, like being in a crowd of people, can be so scary for you. This can make you feel separated and lonely, as may become worse and worse. The good news is there are lots of excellent treatments available for anxiety. These include taking therapies (疗法) and drugs. 32. Which of the following statements is true about anxiety? A. With anxiety you are far away from traffic accidents. B. It’s not normal for people to get too anxious after a stressful thing. C. Almost everybody has a certain degree of anxiety in certain situations. D. When you feel stressed out, scared or worried, you are surely suffering from anxiety. 33. Which of the following reasons for anxiety is NOT mentioned in the passage? A. Illness. B. Experience. C. Genetics. D. Environment. 34. What can we learn from paragraph 5 and 6 in the passage? A. Anxiety is the most common mental health problem B. Those suffering from anxiety need others’ understanding badly. C. About a quarter of the population are suffering from anxiety now. D. Once you suffer from anxiety, you’d better look for medical treatment. 35. The writer will most probably talk about ________ following this passage A. what is about anxiety B. what causes anxiety C. how to deal with anxiety D. when anxiety becomes serious D I recently spent an evening trying to choose a cup on Amazon. Nearly an hour later, after having read countless reviews about dozens of kinds, I felt tired and simply gave up. The next day, I happily bought the only kind the local store offered. Too many choices make us tired and unhappy and lead us to sometimes avoid making a decision. Researcher Barry Schwartz calls this “choice overload”. “As the number of options(可选择的事物)increases, the costs in time and effort of collecting the information needed to make a good choice also increase,” writes Schwartz. “The level of certainty people have about their choice decreases. And the possibility that they will regret their choice increases.” Understanding how and why we make decisions can perhaps help us make better choices. We make poorer decisions when we are tired. The mind can only deal with so many options and make so many choices before it starts to lose energy. That’s why buys like candy bars and magazines at the checkout(付款处)in the store can be hard to resist, We’ve used up all our good decision— making skills. The same goes for our workday. Making lots of decisions not only tires us, it can put us in a bad mood. That’s why it’s important to make your most important decisions in the morning rather than at the end of a tiring day. When we’re tired, we often save our energy by making choices based on a single factor(因素)like price, rather than considering all the other factors that go into making the best decision. Another study out of Columbia University shows that this happens when people are given a lot of features(特点)to choose from when buying a car. After a while, people start asking for the common option rather than carefully weighing each decision. This can also happen when faced with a decision in your creative work. Given endless options of which route to take, we sometimes end up going with the more usual path simply because it’s the easier way to go. So it’s important to put limits on your options, which can develop your creativity and help you make a better decision. In other words, letting yourself have fewer options to choose from can help you arrive at a more creative answer. 36. According to Barry Schwartz, the more options people have, . A. the better choice they will make B. the more easily they will make a choice C. the happier they will feel to make a choice D. the more likely they will regret their choice 37. The word "resist" in Paragraph 3 probably means " "． A. explain B. avoid C. decide D. afford 38. When a person is tired from comparing many kinds of products, he is likely to . A. consider the price most B. choose a more common kind C. read more reviews from others D. weigh all the factors very carefully 39. The writer believes that . A. people are unwilling to spend energy making decisions B. people usually take the easiest way to save their energy C. limited choices can help people reach a creative decision D. spending more time thinking helps make better decisions 八、阅读下列短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 （共10分，每小题2分） Many people take running as a way to keep fit.

The test subjects (对象), were asked to run 10,000 meters under both conditions and their biological measurements were recorded and studied. From the study, every movement runners make produces heat. The heat can be really damaging unless the body can lose it. One way in which people lose heat is by sweating. The body loses heat through sweat. The body also loses it by transporting (输送) the blood to the surface of the skin and it puts more stress on the heart, especially in hot conditions because it’s much harder to lose heat when the outside environment is warm. As the result shows, running in hot temperatures results in 6 percent higher heart rates. When running in cold conditions, the body does not have to work hard to move blood to the skin surface. Therefore, it requires less energy. The most important thing for people who run in cold conditions is to wear the right clothing. Keep as dry as possible when exercising in low temperatures. Wear warm and light clothing to keep sweat away from your skin. So don’t let winter weather keep you indoors. Simply get ready for the low temperatures and start running. 40.
