As the plane disappeared behind the trees, Gelinne, a former Navy commander, realized it was going to land in the creek (小海湾). He flashed on a moment from more than 20 years earlier: Sept. 11, 2001, he was at work when terrorists crashed a jumbo jet into the building. He fled the chaos (混乱) but has always wondered if he could have stayed inside and helped. On this day, he didn’t hesitate. Racing down to the waterfront, he saw the plane had slid to a stop on the broad, frozen creek, far from the shore. It was now sinking. The pilot was standing on the wing. Gelinne knew that the icy water could kill the pilot. Gelinne tested the ice with his foot and decided not to take any chances walking on it. So, he rushed back and swiftly pulled out a kayak (橡皮船) from his back deck. He set off. His first attempts left him circling on the spot. But with some muscle, he made progress. It was physically-demanding work. When Gelinne reached the plane, it had sunk; only its tail was visible. The pilot was standing on a tail wing, submerged (淹没) up to his chest. Gelinne edged his kayak off the ice and into the water, paddling toward the pilot. To keep the pilot calm, he joked, “Just hang on to the boat as if you were hugging your wife.” The pilot grabbed the kayak’s bow. Gelinne knew he had to get the pilot out of the water immediately. But all their desperate attempts ended in failure. By now a police officer had arrived and radioed for help. A boat from the Maryland Department of Natural Resources appeared, breaking through ice as it arrived. It picked up the pilot, Steve Couchman, 71, and rushed him to safety; he would be treated for minor injuries. Rescue had arrived just in time, Gelinne recalled. “I’m 60 years old. There was no way I could get him to shore.” Still, he was satisfied he’d gone the right way that day. 4. What happened to the small aircraft? A. It ran out of fuel. B. It sank into the icy water. C. It flew off the course. D. It was attacked by terrorists. 5. Why did Gelinne set out to help without hesitation? A. To make up for regret. B. To carry out his mission. C. To earn others’ respect. D. To demonstrate his power. 6. Which word best describes the situation the pilot was in? A. Favorable. B. Life-changing. C. One-sided. D. Critical. 7. What is the best title for the story? A. Dragging the Pilot. B. Witnessing the crash. C. Seizing the Chance. D. Fighting the Currents. 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. D 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了前海军指挥官Gelinne在目睹一架小型飞机坠入冰冻的Beards Creek后，不顾个人安危，迅速采取行动救助飞行员的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段中“Racing down to the waterfront, he saw the plane had slid to a stop on the broad, frozen creek, far from the shore. It was now sinking.(他跑到水边，看到飞机已经滑行停止在宽阔的冰冻小湾上，远离岸边。此时飞机正在下沉)”和第五段中“When Gelinne reached the plane, it had sunk; only its tail was visible.(当Gelinne到达飞机时，飞机已经沉没了，只有尾部还露在外面)”可知，小飞机沉入了冰冷的水中。故选B。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段中“He flashed on a moment from more than 20 years earlier: Sept. 11, 2001, he was at work when terrorists crashed a jumbo jet into the building. He fled the chaos (混乱) but has always wondered if he could have stayed inside and helped.(他突然想起20多年前的一个时刻：2001年9月11日，他在工作时，恐怖分子驾驶一架大型喷气式客机撞上了那栋建筑。他在混乱中逃离了现场，但始终在想自己是否应该留在里面并提供帮助)”和第三段中“On this day, he didn’t hesitate.(在这一天，他没有犹豫)”可知，Gelinne之前因为逃离混乱而后悔，所以这一次他毫不犹豫地选择了去帮忙，是为了弥补之前的遗憾。故选A。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段中“Racing down to the waterfront, he saw the plane had slid to a stop on the broad, frozen creek, far from the shore.

The United Arab Emirates imports roughly 90% of its food. A company in the capital Abu Dhabi wants to help change that. Pure Harvest Smart Farms is developing smart greenhouses, using technology to allow agriculture to develop in the tough environment. During the severe summer months, temperatures can rocket to 120 degrees Fahrenheit. While inside the greenhouse, the environment is suitable for farming. An advanced system analyzes data to adjust sunlight, temperature and humidity (湿度). Other conditions such as water and airflow are also measured. Compared with traditional farming methods, Pure Harvest’s novel resource-efficient food pruction systems have great superiority, such as saving resources and reducing carbon emissions. Other special features of its systems include the absence of soil and pesticides. Pure Harvest’s growing systems also result in very low water consumption per kilogram of production. As the population in the UAE continues to grow and there’s more focus on sustainability, the new farm will help to meet this increasing demand and give UAE consumers more options to enjoy the best-quality produce. “It was something that dealt with food security, water protection, economic diversification for the region, and sustainability,” said CEO Sky Kurt. “Maybe in the future we will have enough sensors on the plants so that the line is more productive,” Jan Prins, the farm’s head added. “There are thousands of people working worldwide to make this better.” The farm will improve food security in the UAE, but the new idea could have benefits far beyond its borders. According to experts, global food production will have to double by 2050. 8. What’s the main function of the smart greenhouses? A. To address the environment issues. B. To enhance the planting environment. C. To monitor the plants inside them. D. To increase the indoor temperature. 9. Which is NOT the advantages of the smart farms? A. They need more soil. B. They are environment-friendly. C. They need less water. D. They can save energy. 10. What can be inferred about the new farm from Sky Kurtz’s words? A. It helped the country to solve water pollution. B. It requires thousands of people to work together. C. It has been equipped with enough sensors. D. It makes a difference to UAE’s development. 11. What’s the main idea of the text? A. New farms help improve agricultural planting. B. Farmers make efforts to protect natural resources. C. Global food production has largely increased. D. Smart greenhouses give way to traditional farms. 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. D 11.

During the severe summer months, temperatures can rocket to 120 degrees Fahrenheit. While inside the greenhouse, the environment is suitable for farming. An advanced system analyzes data to adjust sunlight, temperature and humidity(湿度). Other conditions such as water and airflow are also measured.(Pure Harvest Smart Farms正在开发智能温室，利用技术使农业在恶劣的环境中得以发展。在炎热的夏季，温度可能飙升至120华氏度。而在温室内部，环境则适宜农作物生长。一个先进的系统通过分析数据来调节阳光、温度和湿度。同时，还会测量其他条件，如水分和气流。)”可知，智能温室使用技术来改善农业种植环境，使环境适合农作物生长。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Other special features of its systems include the absence of soil and pesticides.(其系统的其他特殊功能还包括不使用土壤和农药。)”可知，智能农场的优势包括不使用土壤和农药。选项A“They need more soil.(它们需要更多的土壤)”不是智能农场的优势。故选A。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段““It was something that dealt with food security, water protection, economic diversification for the region, and sustainability,” said CEO Sky Kurt.(“这关乎食品安全、水资源保护、该地区的经济多元化以及可持续性，”首席执行官Sky Kurt说道。)”可知，Sky Kurtz提到这个新农场涉及食品安全、水资源保护、经济多元化和可持续性，可以推断出这个新农场对阿联酋的发展有着重要的影响。故选D。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段“The farm will improve food security in the UAE, but the new idea could have benefits far beyond its borders. According to experts, global food production will have to double by 2050.(该农场将提高阿联酋的食品安全水平，但这一新理念的影响将远远超出其国界。据专家称，到2050年，全球粮食产量必须翻倍。)”以及全文内容可知，文章主要介绍了阿联酋的新农场Pure Harvest Smart Farms，其利用智能温室技术改善农业生产环境，提高生产效率。故选A。 D Among my friends, one topic seems to dominate our conversations: bones. It makes sense, given that 20 percent of American women over 50 have osteoporosis (骨质疏松) and that more than half have bone loss. For men, the figures are lower: 4 percent and a third. Worldwide, one out of three women over 50 and one out of five older men will develop a fracture (骨折). Another reason for the endless argument about bone problems is mass confusion over how best to strengthen your bones and whether diet really makes a difference. Diet research is always messy, and study results on nutrition and bone health haven’t been consistent. But gradually some clarity is emerging. As we draw up resolutions for what to eat, it’s useful to look at new data on vitamin D. Calcium is the key element for building bones, and vitamin D helps to absorb calcium from the food we eat, so doctors often recommend D supplements (补充剂) to make up for age-related bone loss. But a recent study found that taking D supplements for five years did not reduce the rate of fractures in seniors. That result built on earlier findings, led by the same team, that these supplements do not improve bone density (密度). “Food and sun exposure likely provide enough vitamin D for healthy adults,” says Meryl LeBoff, who led the study. What does help maintain strong bones for all of us? The easy answer is food high in calcium, such as milk and tofu. Getting it from food is best, LeBoff says, “because there are so many other nutrients (营养物质), and you have a more continuous absorption than with D supplements.” The other key element of bone health involves calories out rather than calories in. Weight-bearing exercise stimulates bone formation throughout life. So while focusing on better nutritional choices, add more exercise to your daily menu. 12. What do the statistics in paragraph 1 emphasize? A. The seriousness of bone problems. B. The concern about senior citizens. C. The confusion about strengthening bones. D. The importance of having a balanced diet. 13. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 2 imply? A. Diet research is no longer a challenge. B. We’ve made resolutions to study diets. C. Findings on bone health prove to be similar. D. We begin to agree on ways to keep bones healthy. 14. What can be inferred from the recent study? A. People can absorb vitamin D in food easily. B. The findings go against LeBoffs earlier ones. C. D supplements play a minor role than expected. D. Fractures are linked with weight-bearing exercise. 15 What is a suitable title for the text? A. A recipe for better bones B. Your bones cry! C. The magic of D supplements D. Vitamin D wins! 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章一项研究表明服用D补充剂五年并不能降低老年人的骨折率，但高钙食物和运动有助于增强骨骼健康。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。由第一段中的“It makes sense, given that 20 percent of American women over 50 have osteoporosis (骨质疏松) and that more than half have bone loss. For men, the figures are lower: 4 percent and a third. Worldwide, one out of three women over 50 and one out of five older men will develop a fracture (骨折). (考虑到20%的50岁以上的美国女性患有骨质疏松症，超过一半的女性患有骨质疏松，这是有道理的。对于男性来说，这一数字更低：4%和三分之一。在全球范围内，三分之一的50岁以上女性和五分之一的老年男性会发生骨折)”可知，骨骼问题很普遍，第一段中的统计数据强调了骨骼问题的严重性。故选A项。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。由第二段中的“Diet research is always messy, and study results on nutrition and bone health haven’t been consistent. (饮食研究总是一团糟，关于营养和骨骼健康的研究结果也不一致)”可知，but表转折，前文讲关于营养和骨骼健康的研究结果也不一致，后文应该讲就保持骨骼健康上大家达成了共识，再结合本段中的“so doctors often recommend D supplements (补充剂) to make up for age-related bone loss (所以医生经常建议补充D来弥补与年龄相关的骨质流失)”可知，划线句表明“我们开始就保持骨骼健康的方法达成一致”。故选D项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。由第三段中的“But a recent study found that taking D supplements for five years did not reduce the rate of fractures in seniors. That result built on earlier findings, led by the same team, that these supplements do not improve bone density (密度). (但最近的一项研究发现，服用D补充剂五年并不能降低老年人的骨折率。这一结果建立在由同一团队领导的早期发现的基础上，即这些补充剂不能提高骨密度)”和第四段中的“because there are so many other nutrients (营养物质), and you have a more continuous absorption than with D supplements (因为还有很多其他营养素，而且比起D补充剂你更能持续吸收它们)”可推知，D补充剂的作用比预期的要小。故选C项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。由第三段中的“But a recent study found that taking D supplements for five years did not reduce the rate of fractures in seniors. (但最近的一项研究发现，服用D补充剂五年并不能降低老年人的骨折率)”，第三段中的“Food and sun exposure likely provide enough vitamin D for healthy adults (食物和阳光照射可能为健康成年人提供足够的维生素D)”，第四段中的“What does help maintain strong bones for all of us? The easy answer is food high in calcium, such as milk and tofu. (什么有助于我们所有人保持强壮的骨骼？简单的答案是高钙食物，比如牛奶和豆腐)”和最后一段中的“So while focusing on better nutritional choices, add more exercise to your daily menu. (因此，在关注更好的营养选择的同时，在你的日常菜单中增加更多的运动)”可知，文章一项研究表明服用D补充剂五年并不能降低老年人的骨折率，但高钙食物和运动有助于增强骨骼健康，A项“更好骨骼的秘诀”符合文意。故选A项。 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的七个选项中，选出最佳选项填入文中的空白处，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有2个为多余选项。 Every New Year, thousands decide they’re going to change their lives.

D 17. F 18. B 19. G 20. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了导致我们失去动力的常见原因以及如何去分别克服它们。 【16题详解】 根据第一段的前两句“Every New Year, thousands decide they're going to change their lives. Fewer than 10 percent actually stick with their plans, and that figure is being generous.（每年的新年，成千上万的人决定要改变他们的生活，但实际上只有不到10%的人坚持自己的计划。）”可知，本段在说明多数人难以坚持自己的计划。根据设空处的下一段的第一句“Not aiming high enough.（目标不够高）”可知，文章接下来是说明原因。故D项“下面你会发现一些导致你失去动力的常见原因”符合题意。故选D项。 【17题详解】 根据设空的前一句“If you make goals that are too achievable, you'll get bored and lose interest.（如果你制定的目标太过容易实现，你会感到无聊，失去兴趣。）”可知，本段在讲述目标过低的情况。F项“理想情况下，你需要在督促自己和设定现实目标之间取得平衡”与空前一句联系紧密，并与下文中的 “push yourself（推动自己）”相呼应，符合语境。故选F项。 【18题详解】 根据文章的结构可知，此空位于段首，应是主题句。根据下文中的“worrying about（担忧）”和段中多次提到的“What if（假若……怎么办）”可知，本段介绍的是不确定的情况，故B项“对未来不确定”符合语境。故选B项。 【19题详解】 根据设空前一句“If you have trouble creating a vision , then you’re at the risk of being aimless through life.（如果你在设立愿景方面有困难，那么你就有可能在生活中漫无目的。）”和设空后一句“You can start the process of discovering your life purpose by asking yourself, " What would my ideal life look like?"（你可以通过问自己“我的理想生活是什么样子的？”来开始探索你的人生目标）”可推断，空处是过渡句，承上启下。G项“然而，当你找到自己的目标和激情时，你就会被驱使着去追求卓越” 中的“purpose（目标）”与设空后的“life purpose（人生目标）”相呼应，符合语境。故选G项。 【20题详解】 根据设空前一句“You’ll miss out on opportunities in life if you don't learn how to manage your fears.（如果你不学会控制自己的恐惧，你将会错过生活中的机会。）”和设空后一句“One way to manage fear is to look for the root cause of your fear.（管理恐惧的一种方法是寻找恐惧的根源。）”可推知，设空处应是关于管理或克服恐惧的内容，故选C项“幸运的是，恐惧是可以克服的”符合上下文语境。故选C项。 二、完形填空：阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从各题所给的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。 Jessie is a three-year-old cat who loves staying at home and enjoying her life.

Rocking and reading became their favorite nighttime routine. Jenna awoke one night screaming in pain. Hospital tests later revealed that she had cancer, but luckily she had a successful operation. During Jenna’s first week in the hospital, Amy stayed with her day and night. The nurses put a rocking chair in her room so they could continue their nighttime routine. After Jenna was asleep, Amy got some rest in the hard armchair by Jenna’s bed. Jenna was doing well, and Amy began sparing time to help her husband Joe take care of their little boys. She would go home in the evening, have dinner with the boys, and then return to the hospital until Jenna was asleep. Then Amy would come home for the remainder of the night. It was pouring rain one evening as Amy hurried home to make dinner. By the time the meal was done, the roads were dangerous. Joe stood nearby as she looked out of the kitchen window. He firmly stopped Amy from going out in such weather. “Joe,” Amy cried, “I have to read Jenna a story and rock her. She won’t be able to sleep if I don’t.” “Honey,” he said, “be reasonable. What if you have a bad car accident? The roads will be better tomorrow. Then, you can go.” Amy finally nodded and called Sally, a middle-aged nurse who worked a twelve-hour shift from 8 am to 8 pm. In tears she told Sally that it was the first time since Jenna was born that she hadn’t rocked her at bedtime. Sally comforted Amy in a calm voice. She promised that she would go in to see Jenna before she left and tell her that when she woke up her mommy would be with her. “Thank you, Sally,” Amy said. When it was time to go to bed, Jenna couldn’t find her mom and got panic. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Just when her tears welled up, Sally came in. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next morning Amy opened the door, finding Jenna was sleeping peacefully in Sally’s arms. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 Just when her tears welled up Sally came in. Knowing Jenna was waiting for Mom anxiously, she carried the girl in the arms and gently told her that her mum would come a bit late due to the heavy rain outside. However, on hearing that, Jenna burst out crying. Just at this moment the nighttime routine Amy mentioned came to Sally’s mind. She took out a book and read it to Jenna while rocking her. It really worked! Jenna fell asleep soon! But Sally didn’t leave her alone, for fear that she would wake up during the night. The next morning Amy opened the door, finding Jenna was sleeping peacefully in Sally’s arms. Immediately, scalding tears streamed out and her hanging heart eventually settled down. The noise of the door awoke the nurse, who carefully got out of the bed. Amy came up and took her hand tightly, saying, “Thank you. You didn’t know how worried I was last night.” Sally smiled and said, “It’s nothing. But I’ve learned to comfort babies from you — the nighttime routine.” With the words, a knowing smile appeared on the faces of two women. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了艾米最小的孩子，2岁的珍娜，要艾米一边摇她一边给她讲故事，她才会入睡。摇摆和阅读成了他们最喜欢的夜间活动。一天晚上，珍娜痛苦地尖叫着醒来。后来医院检查显示她得了癌症，但幸运的是，她做了一次成功的手术。某天下大雨，妈妈没办法去给珍娜讲故事，幸好一位护士安慰了珍娜，让她睡着了。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“正当她的眼泪夺眶而出时，莎莉走了进来”可知，第一段可描写护士莎莉照顾珍娜入睡的经过。 ②由第二段首句内容“第二天早上，艾米打开门，发现珍娜正安详地睡在莎莉的怀里”可知，第二段可描写艾米悬着的心终于平静了下来，并对护士表示感谢。 2. 续写线索：莎莉安慰珍娜——给珍娜讲故事——珍娜入睡——艾米感谢护士——两人会心微笑 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①起作用：work/function ②抓住，握住某人的手：take one’s hand/hold one’s hand ③吵醒：awake/wake... up 情绪类 ①突然大哭：burst out crying/burst into tears ②担心：worried/concerned 【点睛】【高分句型1】Knowing Jenna was waiting for Mom anxiously, she carried the girl in the arms and gently told her that her mum would come a bit late due to the heavy rain outside.

Family Fun Winterfest B On Dec. 26, Gelinne, 60, was gazing out his back windows of his home in Maryland, at frozen Beards Creek when he spotted a small aircraft a few hundred yards away, losing altitude. As the plane disappeared behind the trees, Gelinne, a former Navy commander, realized it was going to land in the creek (小海湾). He flashed on a moment from more than 20 years earlier: Sept. 11, 2001, he was at work when terrorists crashed a jumbo jet into the building. He fled the chaos (混乱) but has always wondered if he could have stayed inside and helped. On this day, he didn’t hesitate. Racing down to the waterfront, he saw the plane had slid to a stop on the broad, frozen creek, far from the shore. It was now sinking. The pilot was standing on the wing. Gelinne knew that the icy water could kill the pilot. Gelinne tested the ice with his foot and decided not to take any chances walking on it. So, he rushed back and swiftly pulled out a kayak (橡皮船) from his back deck. He set off. His first attempts left him circling on the spot. But with some muscle, he made progress. It was physically-demanding work. When Gelinne reached the plane, it had sunk; only its tail was visible. The pilot was standing on a tail wing, submerged (淹没) up to his chest. Gelinne edged his kayak off the ice and into the water, paddling toward the pilot. To keep the pilot calm, he joked, “Just hang on to the boat as if you were hugging your wife.” The pilot grabbed the kayak’s bow. Gelinne knew he had to get the pilot out of the water immediately. But all their desperate attempts ended in failure. By now a police officer had arrived and radioed for help. A boat from the Maryland Department of Natural Resources appeared, breaking through ice as it arrived. It picked up the pilot, Steve Couchman, 71, and rushed him to safety; he would be treated for minor injuries. Rescue had arrived just in time, Gelinne recalled. “I’m 60 years old. There was no way I could get him to shore.” Still, he was satisfied he’d gone the right way that day. 4. What happened to the small aircraft? A. It ran out of fuel. B. It sank into the icy water. C. It flew off the course. D. It was attacked by terrorists. 5. Why did Gelinne set out to help without hesitation? A To make up for regret. B. To carry out his mission. C. To earn others’ respect. D. To demonstrate his power. 6. Which word best describes the situation the pilot was in? A. Favorable. B. Life-changing. C. One-sided. D. Critical. 7. What is the best title for the story? A. Dragging the Pilot. B. Witnessing the crash. C. Seizing the Chance. D. Fighting the Currents. C Some countries mainly depend on food import from other countries. The United Arab Emirates imports roughly 90% of its food. A company in the capital Abu Dhabi wants to help change that. Pure Harvest Smart Farms is developing smart greenhouses, using technology to allow agriculture to develop in the tough environment. During the severe summer months, temperatures can rocket to 120 degrees Fahrenheit. While inside the greenhouse, the environment is suitable for farming. An advanced system analyzes data to adjust sunlight, temperature and humidity (湿度). Other conditions such as water and airflow are also measured. Compared with traditional farming methods, Pure Harvest’s novel resource-efficient food pruction systems have great superiority, such as saving resources and reducing carbon emissions. Other special features of its systems include the absence of soil and pesticides. Pure Harvest’s growing systems also result in very low water consumption per kilogram of production. As the population in the UAE continues to grow and there’s more focus on sustainability, the new farm will help to meet this increasing demand and give UAE consumers more options to enjoy the best-quality produce. “It was something that dealt with food security, water protection, economic diversification for the region, and sustainability,” said CEO Sky Kurt. “Maybe in the future we will have enough sensors on the plants so that the line is more productive,” Jan Prins, the farm’s head added. “There are thousands of people working worldwide to make this better.” The farm will improve food security in the UAE, but the new idea could have benefits far beyond its borders. According to experts, global food production will have to double by 2050. 8. What’s the main function of the smart greenhouses? A. To address the environment issues. B. To enhance the planting environment. C. To monitor the plants inside them. D. To increase the indoor temperature. 9. Which is NOT the advantages of the smart farms? A They need more soil. B. They are environment-friendly. C. They need less water. D. They can save energy. 10. What can be inferred about the new farm from Sky Kurtz’s words? A. It helped the country to solve water pollution. B. It requires thousands of people to work together. C. It has been equipped with enough sensors. D. It makes a difference to UAE’s development. 11. What’s the main idea of the text? A. New farms help improve agricultural planting. B. Farmers make efforts to protect natural resources. C. Global food production has largely increased. D. Smart greenhouses give way to traditional farms. D Among my friends, one topic seems to dominate our conversations: bones. It makes sense, given that 20 percent of American women over 50 have osteoporosis (骨质疏松) and that more than half have bone loss. For men, the figures are lower: 4 percent and a third. Worldwide, one out of three women over 50 and one out of five older men will develop a fracture (骨折). Another reason for the endless argument about bone problems is mass confusion over how best to strengthen your bones and whether diet really makes a difference. Diet research is always messy, and study results on nutrition and bone health haven’t been consistent. But gradually some clarity is emerging. As we draw up resolutions for what to eat, it’s useful to look at new data on vitamin D. Calcium is the key element for building bones, and vitamin D helps to absorb calcium from the food we eat, so doctors often recommend D supplements (补充剂) to make up for age-related bone loss. But a recent study found that taking D supplements for five years did not reduce the rate of fractures in seniors. That result built on earlier findings, led by the same team, that these supplements do not improve bone density (密度). “Food and sun exposure likely provide enough vitamin D for healthy adults,” says Meryl LeBoff, who led the study. What does help maintain strong bones for all of us? The easy answer is food high in calcium, such as milk and tofu. Getting it from food is best, LeBoff says, “because there are so many other nutrients (营养物质), and you have a more continuous absorption than with D supplements.” The other key element of bone health involves calories out rather than calories in. Weight-bearing exercise stimulates bone formation throughout life. So while focusing on better nutritional choices, add more exercise to your daily menu. 12. What do the statistics in paragraph 1 emphasize? A. The seriousness of bone problems. B. The concern about senior citizens. C. The confusion about strengthening bones. D. The importance of having a balanced diet. 13. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 2 imply? A. Diet research is no longer a challenge. B. We’ve made resolutions to study diets. C. Findings on bone health prove to be similar. D. We begin to agree on ways to keep bones healthy. 14. What can be inferred from the recent study? A. People can absorb vitamin D in food easily. B. The findings go against LeBoffs earlier ones. C. D supplements play a minor role than expected. D Fractures are linked with weight-bearing exercise. 15. What is a suitable title for the text? A. A recipe for better bones B. Your bones cry! C. The magic of D supplements D. Vitamin D wins! 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的七个选项中，选出最佳选项填入文中的空白处，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有2个为多余选项。 Every New Year, thousands decide they’re going to change their lives.

Rocking and reading became their favorite nighttime routine. Jenna awoke one night screaming in pain. Hospital tests later revealed that she had cancer, but luckily she had a successful operation. During Jenna’s first week in the hospital, Amy stayed with her day and night. The nurses put a rocking chair in her room so they could continue their nighttime routine. After Jenna was asleep, Amy got some rest in the hard armchair by Jenna’s bed. Jenna was doing well, and Amy began sparing time to help her husband Joe take care of their little boys. She would go home in the evening, have dinner with the boys, and then return to the hospital until Jenna was asleep. Then Amy would come home for the remainder of the night. It was pouring rain one evening as Amy hurried home to make dinner. By the time the meal was done, the roads were dangerous. Joe stood nearby as she looked out of the kitchen window. He firmly stopped Amy from going out in such weather. “Joe,” Amy cried, “I have to read Jenna a story and rock her. She won’t be able to sleep if I don’t.” “Honey,” he said, “be reasonable. What if you have a bad car accident? The roads will be better tomorrow. Then, you can go.” Amy finally nodded and called Sally, a middle-aged nurse who worked a twelve-hour shift from 8 am to 8 pm. In tears she told Sally that it was the first time since Jenna was born that she hadn’t rocked her at bedtime. Sally comforted Amy in a calm voice. She promised that she would go in to see Jenna before she left and tell her that when she woke up her mommy would be with her. “Thank you, Sally,” Amy said. When it was time to go to bed, Jenna couldn’t find her mom and got panic. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Just when her tears welled up, Sally came in. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next morning Amy opened the door, finding Jenna was sleeping peacefully in Sally’s arms. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
