It’s a pity真遗憾。根据问句How did you get to work after the accident?可知，此处是在询问事故后如何去上班，所以回答应该是关于如何到达工作地点的，I managed somehow符合语境，表示尽管有困难但还是设法做到了。故选B。 2. — How are you going to celebrate her birthday today? — I’m having some flowers ______ to her.

A. Having explained B. Having been explained C. Though it was explained D. It was explained 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】考查动词语态。句意：这道题被解释了一遍又一遍，但是这个男孩仍然不能理解这道数学题。but后为句子，所以本空不能用非谓语动词形式，故排除A和B；though不可和but放在一起；事情发生在过去，时态为一般过去时，句子逻辑主语为the maths problem，和explain“解释”之间是被动关系，所以要用一般过去时的被动语态，应用It was explained，其中it指代the maths problem。故选D。 4.

A. diverse B. modest C. unique D. typical 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】考查形容词词义辨析。句意：作为文化的载体，饺子是中国传统饮食文化的典型代表，与西餐有很大的不同。A. diverse多样的；B. modest谦虚的；C. unique独特的；D. typical典型的。根据后文“of traditional Chinese food culture”指饺子是中国传统饮食文化的典型代表，为短语be typical of意为“是……的典型”。故选D。 5. —What have you observed from a long walk in the woods? —________.

The Longji Rice Terraces（龙脊梯田）attract many visitors who come to admire this great wonder created by people and nature___________together. A. work B. to work C. working D. worked 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】考查现在分词。句意：龙脊梯田吸引了众多游客前来欣赏这一人类与自然共同创造的奇迹。主句已有谓语动词attract且无连词，从句已有谓语动词come且无连词，此处用非谓语形式，名词people and nature与动词work是主谓关系，应用现在分词（doing）作定语，表主动。故选C项。 11.

A. one B. that C. those D. it 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】考查代词词义辨析。句意：别人教给你的东西对你的影响都不如你自己学到的东西。A. one代指前面提到过的同类事物，但不是同一个，只能指代可数名词；B. that代指与前面同类的事物，但不是同一个，可指代不可数名词；C. those代指与前面同类不同一的事物，代替可数名词复数；D. it代指上文提到的某人或某物。句中所缺词特指和前面nothing同类的事物，即自己所学的知识，但和前面自学的东西不一样，nothing为不可数名词，所以应用that指代不可数名词，故选B。 12. The professor as well as a larger number of students, _______ the program, which will be carried out this summer. A. was attracted to B. were attracted to C. has been attracted to D. have been attracted to 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】考查主谓一致和动词时态。句意：这位教授以及许多学生都被这个将于今年夏天实施的项目所吸引。句中为“A as well as B”结构作主语，谓语动词的单复数形式要与A保持一致，即与The professor保持一致，所以谓语动词应该用单数形式，后文“which will be carried out this summer”表明这个项目还未实施，“被吸引”这个动作对现在产生了影响（即现在已经被吸引了，才会和项目有后续关联），所以用现在完成时更合适。“was attracted to”是一般过去时，只强调过去某个时间的动作，不能很好地体现对现在的影响，“has been attracted to”是现在完成时的被动语态，符合语境。故选C。 13. _______ you are aware of the tricks used in ads, you won’t be so eager to purchase the product. A. Whether B. Until C. Though D. Once 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】考查连接词词义辨析。句意：一旦你意识到广告中的诡计，你就不会那么急切地购买产品了。A. Whether是否；B. Until直到；C. Though虽然；D. Once一旦。根据“you are aware of the tricks used in ads, you won’t be so eager to purchase the product”可知，句子表示“一旦你意识到广告中的诡计，你就不会那么急切地购买产品了”，空格处意为“一旦”，应用once引导条件状语从句。故选D。 14. I like playing chess very much because this is a game ______ everyone can learn to obey the rules. A. what B. where C. which D. that 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】考查定语从句。句意：我非常喜欢下棋，因为这是一个人人都能学会遵守规则的游戏。本空引导的是限制性定语从句，先行词是game，关系词代替先行词在从句中作地点状语，应用关系副词where引导。故选B。 15. By excavating (挖掘) the ancient tomb the archaeologists (考古学家) ______ the lifestyle of the common people in the Tang Dynasty. A. adapted themselves to B. brought to life C. attached importance to D. worked closely with 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】考查动词短语辨析。句意：通过发掘古墓，考古学家们把唐代老百姓的生活方式还原了出来。A. adapted themselves to适应；B. brought to life使更生动，使复活；C. attached importance to重视；D. worked closely with与……紧密合作。结合句意以及上文的“the archaeologists (考古学家)”和下文的“the lifestyle of the common people in the Tang Dynasty”可知，考古学家应是使得唐代老百姓的生活方式更加逼真地呈现出来，所以此处使用“使更生动”符合语境。故选B项。 二、完形填空 It was many years ago.

The 11-mile round trip left me with dead legs and the suspicion that I had made a mistake. A month earlier, my 23-year-old minivan broke down for the last time. Rather than replace it, I decided a new “car-free” reality would encourage a healthier lifestyle. My aching muscles questioned the viability (可行性) of this plan. Three years later, I now know that giving up my car was the first step toward solving a lifelong struggle: maintaining consistent physical activity. What started as a necessity-I had no car, so I must bike became a strategy: Errands (差事) are an opportunity for exercise. I began seeking out new errands just for the exercise they would provide. Rain or shine, I became an errand-running machine. For most of my adult life, I’d been trying, and failing, to consistently exercise. Only now, as I hit my 60th birthday, did I feel I’d finally figured it out. Michelle Fortier, a physical activity psychologist, mentioned that outside motivations, like doctors warnings and weight insecurities, do not result in lasting behavior change. “That can get people started, but it will not maintain their physical activity,” Dr. Fortier said. My own behavior change, Dr. Fortier explained, was probably the result of combining two intrinsically (内在地) generated motivations that had nothing to do with body-image fears or outside pressures: I love to ride my bike, and I love the satisfaction of getting things done. Recognizing that day-to-day tasks often involve movement is an opportunity to build physical activity habits into our everyday lives. But you’d better pay attention to the pleasure principle, begin with what you like, and then work yourself into shape. 41. How did the author find his first-time biking trip to and from Costco? A. Very confusing. B. Extremely tiring. C. Rather worrying. D. Deeply embarrassing. 42. What problem did the author face before giving up his car? A. He lacked enough money to buy a new one. B. He was too busy to ride a bike to a grocery shop. C. He had difficulty in doing physical activity regularly. D. He found it challenging to drive a car over a long distance. 43. In paragraph 5, the author mentions Michelle Fortier to show _________. A. the benefits of running errands B. the challenges in behavior change C. the importance of regular exercise D. the importance of intrinsic motivations 44. What played an important role in the author’s lasting behavior change? A. A sense of satisfaction. B. Warnings from doctors. C. Tips from a psychologist. D. A fear for his growing weight. 45. What would be the best title for the text? A. How I Overcame Outside Pressures B. How I Turned My Errands into Exercise C. Why I Became a Fast-Running Machine D. Why I Dreamed of a “Car-Free” Lifestyle 【答案】41. B 42. C 43. D 44. A 45. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者放弃汽车，选择用自行车进行锻炼，并坚持了下来，收获了满足感的经历。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“I was physically destroyed the first time I rode my bike home from Costco carrying a load of groceries. The 11-mile round trip left me with dead legs and the suspicion that I had made a mistake.(我第一次从好市多骑自行车回家，扛着一车杂货，身体就垮了。11英里的往返路程让我两条腿都累坏了，我怀疑自己犯了一个错误)”可知，作者第一次骑自行车往返于好市多，感觉非常累。故选B。 【42题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“A month earlier, my 23-year-old minivan broke down for the last time. Rather than replace it, I decided a new “car-free” reality would encourage a healthier lifestyle. My aching muscles questioned the viability (可行性) of this plan. (一个月前，我那辆开了23年的小货车最后一次抛锚了。而不是取代它，我决定一个新的“无车”现实将鼓励更健康的生活方式。我酸痛的肌肉质疑这个计划的可行性)”可知，作者在放弃他的汽车之前，面临他很难有规律地进行体育活动。故选C。 【43题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“Michelle Fortier, a physical activity psychologist, mentioned that outside motivations, like doctors warnings and weight insecurities, do not result in lasting behavior change. “That can get people started, but it will not maintain their physical activity, ” Dr. Fortier said.(体育活动心理学家米歇尔·福捷提到，外在动机，比如医生的警告和对体重的不安全感，不会导致持久的行为改变。“这可以让人们开始运动，但并不能维持他们的身体活动，”福捷博士说)”可知，作者提到Michelle Fortier来说明内在动机的重要性。故选D。 【44题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“My own behavior change, Dr. Fortier explained, was probably the result of combining two intrinsically (内在地) generated motivations that had nothing to do with body-image fears or outside pressures: I love to ride my bike, and I love the satisfaction of getting things done.(福捷博士解释说，我自己的行为改变可能是两种内在动机结合的结果，这两种动机与对身体形象的恐惧或外界压力无关：我喜欢骑自行车，我喜欢完成任务的满足感)”可知，在作者持久的行为改变中，一种满足感起了重要作用。故选A。 【45题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“Three years later, I now know that giving up my car was the first step toward solving a lifelong struggle: maintaining consistent physical activity. What started as a necessity-I had no car, so I must bike became a strategy: Errands (差事) are an opportunity for exercise.(三年后，我现在知道，放弃我的车是解决一个终身难题的第一步：保持持续的体育锻炼。一开始是必需品——我没有车，所以我必须骑自行车——现在变成了一种策略：跑腿是锻炼身体的机会)”结合文章主要讲述了作者放弃汽车，选择用自行车进行锻炼，并坚持了下来，收获了满足感的经历可知，B选项“我是如何把我的差事变成锻炼的”最符合文章标题。故选B。 C The first patient who died on my watch was an older man with a faulty heart. We tried to slow it down with treatment, but it suddenly stopped beating completely. Later, whenever I would have a case like that one, I found myself second-guessing my clinical management. However, it turns out that thinking twice may actually cause more harm than good. In a working paper, Emory University researchers found that when doctors delivering a baby have a bad result, they are more likely to switch to a different delivery method with the next patient, often unnecessarily and sometimes with worse results. Because doctors make so many decisions that have serious consequences, the fallout from second-guessing appears especially large for us. A 2006 study found that if a patient had a bleed after being prescribed (开药) warfarin, the physician was about 20% less likely to prescribe later patients the blood thinner (抗凝血剂) that prevents strokes (中风). However, if a patient was not on warfarin and had a stroke, physicians were still no more likely to prescribe warfarin to their other patients. These findings highlight interesting behavioral patterns in doctors. In the blood-thinner study, doctors were more affected by the act of doing harm (prescribing a blood thinner that ended up hurting a patient) and less affected by letting harm happen (not prescribing a blood thinner and the patient having a stroke). Yet a stroke is often more permanent and damaging than a bleed. But this phenomenon is not unique to medicine. “Overreaction to Fearsome Risks” holds true for broader society. For instance, sensational headlines about shark attacks on humans in Florida in 2001 caused a panic and led the state to prohibit shark-feeding expeditions. Yet shark attacks had actually fallen that year and, according to the study, such a change was probably unnecessary given the extremely small risk of such an attack happening. Humans are likely to be influenced by emotional and often irrational (不理性的) thinking when processing information, bad events and mistakes. As much as we don't want to cause an unfortunate event to happen again, we need to be aware that a worst situation that can be imagined doesn't necessarily mean we did anything wrong. When we overthink, we fail to rely on thinking based on what we know or have experienced. Instead, we may involuntarily overanalyze and come to the wrong conclusion. I have treated dozens of patients who presented with the same illnesses as my first patient, who died more than a year ago. Instead of second-guessing myself, I trusted my clinical instinct (本能) and stayed the course. Every one of those patients survived. You should trust your instinct in your life, too. 46. The first two paragraphs suggest that _________. A. bad medical outcomes affect doctors B. delivering babies can be difficult work C. some doctors are not very experienced D. doctors sometimes make silly mistakes 47. In the blood-thinner study, doctors_________. A. tend to prescribe less effective medicine B. are more concerned about the patients' safety C. become less confident in writing a prescription D. believe a stroke is more treatable than a bleeding 48. What does the underlined word “fallout” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Result. B. Benefit. C. Difference. D. Absence. 49. The author develops his idea mainly by _________. A. making comparisons B. giving examples C. using metaphors D. quoting famous sayings 50. The author will probably agree that _________. A. we should not doubt our own decisions B. our experience will pave way for our future C. humans are emotional and irrational on the whole D. instincts don't necessarily lead to wrong directions 【答案】46. A 47. C 48. A 49. B 50. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议。文章通过作者自己的经历论述了，人类在处理信息、不良事件和错误时易受情绪化和非理性思维的影响，会过度思考，此时我们就不能依赖于基于我们所知或所经历的思考，反而要相信直觉。 【46题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Later, whenever I would have a case like that one, I found myself second-guessing my clinical management.(后来，每当我遇到这样的病例时，我都会怀疑自己的临床管理)”和第二段的“In a working paper, Emory University researchers found that when doctors delivering a baby have an adverse outcome, they are more likely to switch to a different delivery method with the next patient, often unnecessarily and sometimes with worse results. (在一篇工作论文中，埃默里大学的研究人员发现，当医生接生婴儿时出现不良后果时，他们更有可能对下一个病人改用不同的接生方式，这往往是不必要的，有时甚至会带来更糟糕的结果)”可推断，糟糕的医疗结果会影响医生。故选A项。 【47题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“A 2006 study found that if a patient had a bleed after being prescribed (开药) warfarin, the physician was about 20% less likely to prescribe later patients the blood thinner (抗凝血剂) that prevents strokes (中风). (2006年的一项研究发现，如果患者在服用华法林后出现出血，医生给后续患者开预防中风的血液稀释剂的可能性要低20%)”可知，在血液稀释剂研究中，一旦病人服用华法林后出现出血后，医生们在开某些处方时量就减少了。由此推断，医生在开处方时变得不那么自信。故选C项 【48题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段的“Because doctors make so many decisions that have serious consequences, the fallout from second-guessing appears especially large for us.(因为医生要做出如此多有严重后果的决定，事后猜测的fallout对我们来说似乎尤其严重)”可知，对我们来说似乎尤其严重的是结果。由此推测，划线词的意思是“后果”，与A. Result(结果)意思一致。故选A项。 【49题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“In a working paper, Emory University researchers found that when doctors delivering a baby have a bad result, they are more likely to switch to a different delivery method with the next patient, often unnecessarily and sometimes with worse results. (在一篇工作论文中，埃默里大学（Emory University）的研究人员发现，当医生接生婴儿的结果不好时，他们更有可能为下一个病人换一种不同的分娩方法，这种方法往往是不必要的，有时结果会更糟)”以及根据第六段“For instance, sensational headlines about shark attacks on humans in Florida in 2001 caused a panic and led the state to prohibit shark-feeding expeditions. Yet shark attacks had actually fallen that year and, according to the study, such a change was probably unnecessary given the extremely small risk of such an attack happening.(例如，2001年佛罗里达州关于鲨鱼袭击人类的耸人听闻的头条新闻引起了恐慌，并导致该州禁止鲨鱼喂食探险。然而，那一年鲨鱼袭击事件实际上有所减少，根据这项研究，鉴于发生这种袭击的风险极低，这种变化可能是不必要的)”可推知，作者主要通过举例来阐述他的观点。故选B项。 【50题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“When we overthink, we fail to rely on thinking based on what we know or have experienced. Instead, we may inadvertently overanalyze and come to the wrong conclusion. (当我们过度思考时，我们就不能依赖于基于我们所知或所经历的思考。相反，我们可能会无意中过度分析，得出错误的结论)”和最后一段中的“Instead of second-guessing myself, I trusted my clinical instinct (本能) and stayed the course. Every one of those patients survived. You should trust your instinct in your life, too. (我相信自己的临床直觉，坚持到底，而不是事后猜测。所有的病人都活了下来。你也应该相信你的直觉)”可推断，作者认为直觉不一定会导致错误的方向。故选D项。 D For lots of kids, toddlerhood (幼儿期) is an important time for friendship. Studies show that the earlier kids learn to form positive relationships, the better they are at relating to others as teenagers and adults. Playing together also helps these kids practice social behaviors, such as kindness, sharing, and cooperation. Even so, how quickly your child develops into a social creature may also depend on his temperament. Some toddlers are very social, but others are shy. In addition, the way that toddlers demonstrate that they like other children is markedly different from what adults think of as expressions of friendship. Research at Ohio State University in Columbus found that a toddler’s way of saying “I like you” during play is likely to come in the form of copying a friend’s behavior. This seemingly unusual way of demonstrating fondness can result in unpleasant behavior. Regardless of how much they like a playmate, they may still grab his toys, refuse to share, and get bossy. But experts say that this is a normal and necessary part of friendship for kids this age. Through play experiences, toddlers learn social rules. That’s why it’s so important to take an active role in your toddler’s social encounters by setting limits and offering frequent reminders of what they are. When you establish these guidelines, explain the reasons behind them. Begin by helping your child learn sympathy (“Ben is crying. What’s making him so sad?”), then suggest how he could resolve the problem (“Maybe he would feel better if you let him play the ball.”). When your child shares or shows empathy (同理心) toward a friend, praise him (“Ben stopped crying! You made him feel better.”). Another way to encourage healthy social interaction is by encouraging kids to use words—not fists—to express how they feel. It’s also important to be mindful of how your child’s personality affects playtime. Kids are easy to get angry when they’re sleepy or hungry, so schedule playtime when they’re refreshed. 51. What does it indicate when toddlers copy their playmates’ behavior? A. They are interested in acting. B. They are shy with the strangers. C. They are fond of their playmates. D. They are tired of playing games. 52. What is the meaning of the underlined word in paragraph 2? A. Behavior. B. Talent. C. Enthusiastic. D. Character. 53. What does the author suggest parents do for their kids? A. Design games for them. B. Find them suitable playmates. C. Play together with them. D. Help them understand social rules. 54. What is the function of the quoted statements in paragraph 4? A. Giving examples. B. Explaining concepts. C. Providing evidence. D. Making comparisons. 55. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. How Children Adapt to Changes B. How to Be Role Model for Children C. How Your Baby Learns to Love D. How to Communicate with Your Kid 【答案】51. C 52. D 53. D 54. A 55. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了幼儿时期友谊对儿童社交能力发展的重要性，并探讨了幼儿表达友谊的方式和可能出现的问题。同时，文章还提供了一些建议和方法，帮助家长在幼儿社交互动中发挥积极作用，培养他们的同情心和表达能力，学会发展友谊。 【51题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段的“Research at Ohio State University in Columbus found that a toddler’s way of saying “I like you” during play is likely to come in the form of copying a friend’s behavior.(位于哥伦布市的俄亥俄州立大学的研究发现，蹒跚学步的孩子在玩耍时表达“我喜欢你”的方式很可能是模仿朋友的行为。)”可知，蹒跚学步的孩子模仿朋友的行为说明他们喜欢玩伴，故选C。 【52题详解】 词句猜测题。根据下文“Some toddlers are very social, but others are shy.(有些蹒跚学步的孩子很爱交际，但有些则很害羞。)”可知，孩子的性格对于孩子社交能力的发展有着重要的影响，再由“how quickly your child develops into a social creature may also depend on his temperament(你的孩子多快发展成为一个社会动物也可能取决于他的temperament。)”可知，孩子多快学会社交与他们的“性格”有关，因此划线词意为“性格”，和D选项Character意思相近，故选D。 【53题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段的“Through play experiences, toddlers learn social rules. That’s why it’s so important to take an active role in your toddler’s social encounters by setting limits and offering frequent reminders of what they are. When you establish these guidelines, explain the reasons behind them.(幼儿通过游戏经验学习社会规则。这就是为什么在你的孩子的社会交往中，通过设定限制和经常提醒他们是什么来发挥积极作用是如此重要。当您建立这些指导方针时，请解释其背后的原因。)”可知，作者建议家长在孩子的社交生活中设定限制，并且经常提醒孩子们这些限制，也就是社交规则，以帮助孩子理解社交规则，故选D。 【54题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段的“Begin by helping your child learn sympathy (“Ben is crying. What’s making him so sad?”), then suggest how he could resolve the problem (“Maybe he would feel better if you let him play the ball.”).(从帮助孩子学会同情开始(“本哭了。是什么让他这么伤心？”)，然后建议他如何解决这个问题（“如果你让他玩球，也许他会感觉好一点。”）。)”可知，这些引用是通过举例说明来帮助孩子学会同情并解决问题，故选A。 【55题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“For lots of kids, toddlerhood (幼儿期) is an important time for friendship. Studies show that the earlier kids learn to form positive relationships, the better they are at relating to others as teenagers and adults. Playing together also helps these kids practice social behaviors, such as kindness, sharing, and cooperation.(对很多孩子来说，蹒跚学步是培养友谊的重要时期。研究表明，孩子越早学会建立积极的人际关系，他们在青少年和成年后就越善于与他人相处。一起玩耍也有助于这些孩子练习社会行为，比如善良、分享和合作。)”可知，本文主要讲的是幼儿期社交技能的发展及其培养方法，强调家长在其中的引导作用，因此本文最好的题目是C选项“How Your Baby Learns to Love(宝宝如何学会爱)”。故选C。 四、阅读表达 阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 I'm no literary luddite (反对新技术的人). I bought an iPad with my first paycheck from my first full time job after I graduated college. But after two years of reading occasionally on the device, I gave it away to my brother. It just wasn't the right reading experience for me. Technology lovers choose e-readers over books because e readers are more convenient. They're right. It is objectively easier to carry an 7oz. tablet with thousands and thousands of books at your fingertips than it is to carry five books in your bag (which is exactly what I did on vacation). But I don't read for convenience. I read to learn more about the world and myself. I have made friends by seeing a book cover in a cafe and noticing that it was the same title that I was reading. I can trace my life by the books that have been my companions. When I open an old book and come across my previously scribbled notes — shaky ones when I've been reading on the subway, covered in sand if I read it at the beach, next to a train ticket if I was traveling — I am able to add an extra level of personal depth and experience to the story I am about to re-read. It's just not enough to simply consuming the story, which is what e-readers are great for. When I read paper books, I hold onto them for long periods of time. I just purchased a new bookshelf specially for my “to be read” pile. Once in a while, I go through the process of deciding which books to donate, but usually the idea of parting with a book feels like giving away a part of my soul. Physical books may not be the most efficient medium, but they are the most meaningful. So keep your Kindle, by all means. But I'll be happy hoarding with my library. 56. Why did the author give his iPad to his brother? (no more than 10 words) 57. What is the second paragraph mainly about? (no more than 6 words) 58. Which word can take the place of the underlined word in paragraph 3? (1 word) 59. When the author has to give away some books, how does he feel about it? (no more than 15 words) 60. Do you like e-readers or physical books? Please explain your opinion. (no more than 25 words)(open) 【答案】56. Because he didn't like reading on the device . Because it couldn't give him the right reading experience . Because reading on the device couldn't help trace his life . Because it couldn't add personal depth and experience to stories . 57. The advantage of e-readers . Why the technology lovers choose e-readers. 58. Reading 59. He feels that he is giving away (a) part of his soul. He feels that he is parting with (a) part of his soul. He feels that it is like giving away/ paring with (a) part of his soul. 60. Possible answers： I like reading physical books, because they are like my companions and more meaningful to me. I like reading e-readers, because they are very convenient for me to lake them anywhere. 【解析】 【分析】本文是议论文。作者通过讲述自己的阅读习惯，介绍了自己选择纸质书籍的原因，认为物理书籍可能不是最有效的媒介，但它们是最有意义的。 【56题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段的“But after two years of reading occasionally on the device, I gave it away to my brother. It just wasn't the right reading experience for me.( 但经过两年偶尔在这个设备上的阅读以后，我把它交给了我哥哥。 对我来说这不是正确的阅读体验)”以及第三段的“I can trace my life by the books that have been my companions.（我可以用一直陪伴我的书来追踪我的生活。）”和“I am able to add an extra level of personal depth and experience to the story I am about to re-read.( 我能够增加一个额外的个人深度和经验到我即将重新阅读的故事中。)”可知，作者把自己的ipad给了弟弟，是因为他不喜欢在这个设备上阅读，这不是他正确的阅读体验，在设备上阅读不能跟踪他的生活，不能增添个人深度和经验到书籍上去。故答案为Because he didn't like reading on the device ./Because it couldn't give him the right reading experience ./Because reading on the device couldn't help trace his life ./Because it couldn't add personal depth and experience to stories . 【57题详解】 考查主旨大意。根据第二段的“Technology lovers choose e-readers over books because e readers are more convenient. They're right. It is objectively easier to carry an 7oz. tablet with thousands and thousands of books at your fingertips than it is to carry five books in your bag（科技爱好者选择电子阅读器而不是书籍，因为电子阅读器更方便。他们是对的。比起把五本书装在你的包里，客观上携带7盎司重的平板电脑更容易，成千上万本书触手可得）”可知，第二段主要讲述电子阅读器的优点，爱好科技的人为什么喜欢选择电子阅读器。故答案为The advantage of e-readers ./Why the technology lovers choose e-readers. 【58题详解】 考查词义猜测。上文“I am able to add an extra level of personal depth and experience to the story I am about to re-read.( 我能够增加额外的个人深度和体验到我即将重新阅读的故事中)”可知，重读已经读过的故事，作者增加了个人的认识深度，以及体验，因此推断作者不只是简单的读这个故事，即划线词词义为“阅读”，可以用reading代替。根据字数限制，故答案为Reading。 【59题详解】 考查细节理解。根据倒数第二段的“Once in a while, I go through the process of deciding which books to donate, but usually the idea of parting with a book feels like giving away a part of my soul.（偶尔，我会经历一个决定捐赠哪些书的过程，但通常与一本书分开的想法就像赠送我灵魂的一部分）”可知，当作者必须捐赠一些书籍时，他感觉就像与自己的灵魂分离。故答案为He feels that he is giving away (a) part of his soul./He feels that he is parting with (a) part of his soul./He feels that it is like giving away/ paring with (a) part of his soul. 【60题详解】 考查推理判断。本题是开放性试题。只要合情合理，符合字数要求即可。故参考答案为I like reading physical books, because they are like my companions and more meaningful to me./I like reading e-readers, because they are very convenient for me to lake them anywhere. 五、写作 61. 假设你是晨光中学的李津。你的英国朋友Chris在最近的一封邮件中提到, 自己视力下降厉害很是苦恼，希望得到你的帮助。请根据以下提示回复邮件： 1. 安慰对方； 2. 分析可能导致他视力下降的原因； 3. 提出帮助他改善视力的建议(方法)。 注意： 1 词数不少于100； 2. 可适当加入细节, 使内容充实、行文连贯； 3. 开头和结尾已给出, 不计入总词数。 Dear Chris, I’m sorry to hear that your eyesight has been declining. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours sincerely, Li Jin 【答案】Dear Chris, I was sorry to hear about your declining eyesight, which must have caused you a lot of distress. First of all, this situation is quite common in modern society, and there are many ways to help improve it. I would like to analyze the possible reasons for your vision decline.

B I was physically destroyed the first time I rode my bike home from Costco carrying a load of groceries. The 11-mile round trip left me with dead legs and the suspicion that I had made a mistake. A month earlier, my 23-year-old minivan broke down for the last time. Rather than replace it, I decided a new “car-free” reality would encourage a healthier lifestyle. My aching muscles questioned the viability (可行性) of this plan. Three years later, I now know that giving up my car was the first step toward solving a lifelong struggle: maintaining consistent physical activity. What started as a necessity-I had no car, so I must bike became a strategy: Errands (差事) are an opportunity for exercise. I began seeking out new errands just for the exercise they would provide. Rain or shine, I became an errand-running machine. For most of my adult life, I’d been trying, and failing, to consistently exercise. Only now, as I hit my 60th birthday, did I feel I’d finally figured it out. Michelle Fortier, a physical activity psychologist, mentioned that outside motivations, like doctors warnings and weight insecurities, do not result in lasting behavior change. “That can get people started, but it will not maintain their physical activity,” Dr. Fortier said. My own behavior change, Dr. Fortier explained, was probably the result of combining two intrinsically (内在地) generated motivations that had nothing to do with body-image fears or outside pressures: I love to ride my bike, and I love the satisfaction of getting things done. Recognizing that day-to-day tasks often involve movement is an opportunity to build physical activity habits into our everyday lives. But you’d better pay attention to the pleasure principle, begin with what you like, and then work yourself into shape. 41. How did the author find his first-time biking trip to and from Costco? A.

Why I Dreamed of a “Car-Free” Lifestyle C The first patient who died on my watch was an older man with a faulty heart. We tried to slow it down with treatment, but it suddenly stopped beating completely. Later, whenever I would have a case like that one, I found myself second-guessing my clinical management. However, it turns out that thinking twice may actually cause more harm than good. In a working paper Emory University researchers found that when doctors delivering a baby have a bad result, they are more likely to switch to a different delivery method with the next patient, often unnecessarily and sometimes with worse results. Because doctors make so many decisions that have serious consequences, the fallout from second-guessing appears especially large for us. A 2006 study found that if a patient had a bleed after being prescribed (开药) warfarin, the physician was about 20% less likely to prescribe later patients the blood thinner (抗凝血剂) that prevents strokes (中风). However, if a patient was not on warfarin and had a stroke, physicians were still no more likely to prescribe warfarin to their other patients. These findings highlight interesting behavioral patterns in doctors. In the blood-thinner study, doctors were more affected by the act of doing harm (prescribing a blood thinner that ended up hurting a patient) and less affected by letting harm happen (not prescribing a blood thinner and the patient having a stroke). Yet a stroke is often more permanent and damaging than a bleed. But this phenomenon is not unique to medicine. “Overreaction to Fearsome Risks” holds true for broader society. For instance, sensational headlines about shark attacks on humans in Florida in 2001 caused a panic and led the state to prohibit shark-feeding expeditions. Yet shark attacks had actually fallen that year and, according to the study, such a change was probably unnecessary given the extremely small risk of such an attack happening. Humans are likely to be influenced by emotional and often irrational (不理性的) thinking when processing information, bad events and mistakes. As much as we don't want to cause an unfortunate event to happen again, we need to be aware that a worst situation that can be imagined doesn't necessarily mean we did anything wrong. When we overthink, we fail to rely on thinking based on what we know or have experienced. Instead, we may involuntarily overanalyze and come to the wrong conclusion. I have treated dozens of patients who presented with the same illnesses as my first patient, who died more than a year ago. Instead of second-guessing myself, I trusted my clinical instinct (本能) and stayed the course. Every one of those patients survived. You should trust your instinct in your life, too. 46.

Studies show that the earlier kids learn to form positive relationships, the better they are at relating to others as teenagers and adults. Playing together also helps these kids practice social behaviors, such as kindness, sharing, and cooperation. Even so, how quickly your child develops into a social creature may also depend on his temperament. Some toddlers are very social, but others are shy. In addition, the way that toddlers demonstrate that they like other children is markedly different from what adults think of as expressions of friendship. Research at Ohio State University in Columbus found that a toddler’s way of saying “I like you” during play is likely to come in the form of copying a friend’s behavior. This seemingly unusual way of demonstrating fondness can result in unpleasant behavior. Regardless of how much they like a playmate, they may still grab his toys, refuse to share, and get bossy. But experts say that this is a normal and necessary part of friendship for kids this age. Through play experiences, toddlers learn social rules. That’s why it’s so important to take an active role in your toddler’s social encounters by setting limits and offering frequent reminders of what they are. When you establish these guidelines, explain the reasons behind them. Begin by helping your child learn sympathy (“Ben is crying. What’s making him so sad?”), then suggest how he could resolve the problem (“Maybe he would feel better if you let him play the ball.”). When your child shares or shows empathy (同理心) toward a friend, praise him (“Ben stopped crying! You made him feel better.”). Another way to encourage healthy social interaction is by encouraging kids to use words—not fists—to express how they feel. It’s also important to be mindful of how your child’s personality affects playtime. Kids are easy to get angry when they’re sleepy or hungry, so schedule playtime when they’re refreshed. 51.

But after two years of reading occasionally on the device, I gave it away to my brother. It just wasn't the right reading experience for me. Technology lovers choose e-readers over books because e readers are more convenient. They're right. It is objectively easier to carry an 7oz. tablet with thousands and thousands of books at your fingertips than it is to carry five books in your bag (which is exactly what I did on vacation). But I don't read for convenience. I read to learn more about the world and myself. I have made friends by seeing a book cover in a cafe and noticing that it was the same title that I was reading. I can trace my life by the books that have been my companions. When I open an old book and come across my previously scribbled notes — shaky ones when I've been reading on the subway, covered in sand if I read it at the beach, next to a train ticket if I was traveling — I am able to add an extra level of personal depth and experience to the story I am about to re-read. It's just not enough to simply consuming the story, which is what e-readers are great for. When I read paper books, I hold onto them for long periods of time. I just purchased a new bookshelf specially for my “to be read” pile. Once in a while, I go through the process of deciding which books to donate, but usually the idea of parting with a book feels like giving away a part of my soul. Physical books may not be the most efficient medium, but they are the most meaningful. So keep your Kindle, by all means. But I'll be happy hoarding with my library. 56.
