In this country, we’re blessed with All 4, which gives us unlimited access to the shows from all Channel 4 TV channels. I love its free-to-air video-on-demand service. It is really a joy: I’m currently puzzling my way through a very dark spy series called Guardian of the Castle. I really love watching it.
The only limitation of All 4 is that the film or the show stops every 15 or so minutes and some ads appear. And here’s the thing: you cannot fast-forward them! It’s incredibly annoying.
As a kid, I used to like watching ads on TV; I think I even started recording them. I remember asking my confused parents if they used a particular camera, simply because in the ad there was a nice cartoon face on the camera. I fell out of the love with ads after an art lesson in middle school. My art teacher, Mr. Courts, said something about them just being a way of getting us to buy things we didn’t really want or need. He had a point. I never felt the same way about them again.
Now, it is very painful for me to watch them in the middle of an exciting spy series. During the three ad breaks, I forced myself to sit through the other night. There was a Lloyds Band ad featuring a black horse racing alongside delighted people to the sound of a Beatles track. It made me want to tie my TV to the tail of a galloping (飞驰的) horse, so I could never watch anything of the sort ever again. However, on the other hand, I know that All 4 offers free service just because it makes profits (利润) from ads. As a big fan of All 4, I have to get rid of my dissatisfaction and tolerate (忍受) its limitation since it really offers me films and shows I like.
4. What can we know about All 4 from the first two paragraphs?
A. Its programmes aren’t very interesting.
B. Its users are forced to watch ads.
C. Its shows cannot be fast-forwarded.
D. Its users are charged much for the service.
5. What did the author think of ads when he was a kid?
A. He found them interesting. B. He thought them quite silly.
C. He regarded them as confusing. D. He considered them misleading.
6 What served as a turning point in the author’s attitude toward ads?
A. His improvement in cartoon drawing.
B. His parents’ purchasing a special camera.
C. His art teacher’s negative comment on ads.
D. His recording the camera advertisement.
7. What can we learn from the text?
A. Time is money. B. Every coin has two sides.
C. Hope for the best; prepare for the worst. D. A good beginning makes a good ending.
【答案】4. B 5. A 6. C 7. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者对All 4免费电视服务的使用体验和对其广告的看法。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“The only limitation of All 4 is that the film or the show stops every 15 or so minutes and some ads appear. And here’s the thing: you cannot fast-forward them! It’s incredibly annoying.(All 4的唯一限制是电影或节目每15分钟左右停止一次,并出现一些广告。问题是:你不能让它们快进!这真是太烦人了)”可知,All 4的用户被迫观看广告。故选B项。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“As a kid, I used to like watching ads on TV; (小时候,我喜欢看电视上的广告)”和“I remember asking my confused parents if they used a particular camera, simply because in the ad there was a nice cartoon face on the camera.(我记得我问我困惑的父母,他们是否使用了特定的相机,仅仅是因为在广告中,相机上有一张漂亮的卡通脸)”可推知,作者还是个孩子的时候,他觉得广告很有趣。故选A项。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“I fell out of the love with ads after an art lesson in middle school. My art teacher, Mr. Courts, said something about them just being a way of getting us to buy things we didn’t really want or need. He had a point. I never felt the same way about them again.(在中学的一堂美术课之后,我对广告失去了兴趣。我的美术老师考特斯先生说过,它们只是让我们去买我们并不真正想要或需要的东西的一种方式。他说得有道理。我再也没有对它们有过同样的感觉)”可知,美术老师对广告的负面评价改变了作者对广告的态度。故选C项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Now, it is very painful for me to watch them in the middle of an exciting spy series.(现在,在一部激动人心的间谍剧中间看它们,对我来说是非常痛苦的)”和“However, on the other hand, I know that All 4 offers free service just because it makes profits (利润) from ads. As a big fan of All 4, I have to get rid of my dissatisfaction and tolerate (忍受) its limitation since it really offers me films and shows I like.(然而,另一方面,我知道All 4能提供免费服务正是因为它从广告中获利。作为All 4的忠实粉丝,我必须摆脱我的不满和容忍它的局限性,因为它确实提供了我喜欢的电影和节目)”可推知,作者意识到看广告是享受免费观影服务条件。由此推知,从作者的经验中我们可以明白:事物都有两面性。故选B项。
C
Buying clothes for special events, hiding the price tickets and returning them to the store the next day has for years been the method of money-saving shoppers. Today people are doing it just for social media.
A survey conducted by the credit card company Barclaycard showed that nearly one in ten UK shoppers admits to buying clothing only to post photos on social media for likes. After the “outfit (装束) of the day” (OOTD) makes it online, they return it back to the store. According to Barclaycard, the “try before you buy” policy of online retailers (零售商) — where people pay for clothing they order online after they try it on at home — could be leading to this rising trend.
But the rise of social media means that everyone, not just superstars, expects to build and maintain a personal brand. Since we’re recording our lives and posting them online for public judgement, getting caught in the same outfits more than once should be avoided. And the cost of all those outfits of the day adds up, which makes returning a popular way.
There are brands that make clothes specially for social media shoppers, like Fashion Nova. “These are clothes made for social media: meant to be worn once, photographed and abandoned,” Allison P. Davis wrote in her report about the brand. Another favourite of the social media age is Rent the Runway, which lets customers rent designer clothing for a fee.
Some, however, are moving in the opposite direction. Groups promoting “work uniforms” have increased greatly in recent years, aiming to free women from “the trouble of clothing decisions”. The concept of the “capsule wardrobe (胶囊衣橱)”, which calls for purchasing a small number of high-quality pieces instead of lots of trendy throwaway clothes, is also making a comeback.
8. What does the survey by Barclaycard suggest?
A. Britons follow the fashion stars closely.
B. Some Britons over-order and return clothes.
C. Britons try on clothes before online purchases.
D. Some Britons send outfits back after taking pictures.
9. What’s Fashion Nova’s special service?
A. Renting top designers’ clothes.
B. Offering customers single-use clothes.
C. Creating unique shopping experiences.
D. Helping shoppers improve their clothing style.
10. What’s the idea behind the “capsule wardrobe”?
A. Better fewer, but better. B. Less addition, but more enjoyment.
C. Less uniform, and more freedom. D. More choices, and less trouble.
11. Why does the author write the text?
A. To compare different wearing trends.
B. To introduce Britain’s new wearing trend.
C. To support buying high-quality clothes.
D. To criticize the “try before you buy” policy.
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. A 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文一篇新闻报道。文章报道了社交媒体对购物行为的影响,以及由此产生的“先试后买”现象。文中提到,现在人们购买衣服不仅仅是为了省钱,更多的是为了在社交媒体上展示自己的时尚品味。同时,文章还提到了社交媒体时代的另一个趋势是租赁设计师服装,以及近年来出现的“工作制服”和“胶囊衣橱”的概念。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“A survey conducted by the credit card company Barclaycard showed that nearly one in ten UK shoppers admits to buying clothing only to post photos on social media for likes. After the “outfit (装束) of the day” (OOTD) makes it online, they return it back to the store.(巴克莱信用卡公司进行的一项调查显示,近十分之一的英国消费者承认,他们买衣服只是为了把照片上传到社交媒体上点赞。当“今日之装”(OOTD)在网上发布后,他们会将其退回商店。)”可知,巴克莱卡的调查表明一些英国人会在拍照后把衣服退回去。故选D项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“There are brands that make clothes specially for social media shoppers, like Fashion Nova. “These are clothes made for social media: meant to be worn once, photographed and abandoned,” Allison P. Davis wrote in her report about the brand.(有些品牌专门为社交媒体购物者制作服装,比如Fashion Nova。“这些都是为社交媒体制作的衣服:穿一次,拍一张照片,然后扔掉,”艾莉森·P·戴维斯(Allison P. Davis)在关于该品牌的报告中写道。)”可知,Fashion Nova的特别服务是为顾客提供一次性衣服。故选B项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“The concept of the “capsule wardrobe (胶囊衣橱)”, which calls for purchasing a small number of high-quality pieces instead of lots of trendy throwaway clothes, is also making a comeback.(“胶囊衣橱”的概念也正在卷土重来,它要求人们购买少量高质量的衣服,而不是购买大量时髦的一次性衣服。)”可知,“胶囊衣橱”背后的理念是“少而好,才是更好”。故选A项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文可知,文章报道了在社交媒体时代,人们购买衣服不仅仅是为了省钱,更多的是为了在社交媒体上展示自己的时尚品味。在英国,相应的租赁设计师服装服务和“工作制服”以及“胶囊衣橱”等概念正在兴起。由此推知。作者写这篇文章是为了介绍英国新的着装趋势。故选B项。
D
Have you ever felt so tired after staying up for a night that even coffee doesn’t give you the energy that you need? You may have an energy drink, but the benefits of drinking one are heavily outweighed by the risks.
In the past years, more and more studies have found the deadly effect of energy drinks on our bodies. The sugar, caffeine and energy supplements (补充物) in energy drinks make up a deadly mixture of ingredients that can affect your heart function and send you to the hospital!
A study by the university of Bonn, Germany found that frequent consumption of energy drinks can greatly change the way our heart functions. The study went on to say that consuming energy drinks often causes significantly increased heart contractions (收缩) in adults, which has the potential of putting you at risk of irregular heartbeats.
It is possible that many people haven’t noticed the alarming side effects of energy drinks because of the way they are labelled (贴标签). Most energy drinks contain between 80 milligrams to over 350 milligrams of caffeine, sugar and energy supplements. When an energy drink is marked as a diet supplement, it may be put on the market without a “nutrition facts” label, which would show the harmful supplements that are in the drink. However, even if energy drinks are officially accepted by Food and Drug Administration (FDA), they don’t have to show the number of supplements.
Energy drinks may be widely available, but they aren’t the healthiest or safest choice for your body. To stay naturally energised, get organised and stay on top of your work so that you aren’t having to stay up all night to complete tasks. If you’d like a natural energy increase, you could make time for some exercise, which will give you all of the energy you need!
12. Which of the following is the side effect of energy drinks?
A. Gaining weight. B. Having headaches.
C. Causing sleeplessness. D. Hurting people’s hearts.
13. Why are many people unaware of the harmful effects of energy drinks?
A. Because they don’t read the label carefully.
B. Because FDA thinks they’re healthy drinks.
C. Because the harmful materials are not labelled.
D. Because factories of energy drinks lie to drinkers.
14. What does the underlined expression “stay on top of” mean?
A. Perform well in. B. Get highly paid for.
C. Remain in control of. D. Be on the highest point of.
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. Different Ways to Stay Energetic
B. Many People Enjoy Energy Drinks
C. The Materials Energy Drinks Contain
D. Energy Drinks Could Send You to Hospital
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章指出,能量饮料对人体的致命影响超过了其益处。其成分包括糖、咖啡因和能量补充物,可能影响心脏功能,导致心跳不规律,甚至送你去医院。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“In the past years, more and more studies have found the deadly effect of energy drinks on our bodies. The sugar, caffeine and energy supplements (补充物) in energy drinks make up a deadly mixture of ingredients that can affect your heart function and send you to the hospital!(在过去几年里,越来越多的研究发现了能量饮料对我们身体的致命影响。功能饮料中的糖、咖啡因和能量补充剂组成了一种致命的混合物,会影响你的心脏功能,把你送进医院!)”可知,能量饮料对我们的身体有着致命的影响,其中一项副作用是影响心脏功能。故选D。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“It is possible that many people haven’t noticed the alarming side effects of energy drinks because of the way they are labelled (贴标签). (可能很多人没有注意到能量饮料令人担忧的副作用,只是因为它们的标签。)”以及“However, even if energy drinks are officially accepted by Food and Drug Administration (FDA), they don’t have to show the number of supplements.(然而,即使能量饮料被美国食品和药物管理局(FDA)正式接受,它们也不必显示补充剂的数量。)”可知,许多人不知道能量饮料的有害影响,因为有害物质没有标签。故选C。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词前面的内容“To stay naturally energised, get organized(为了保持自然的活力,有条理)”可知,此处与划线词构成并列,同时根据划线词后面的内容“so that you aren’t having to stay up all night to complete tasks. (这样你就不用熬夜完成任务了。)”可知,划线词应该表示的是“完全掌控自己的工作”与保持自然活力,有条理构成并列,这样才能达到不用熬夜完成任务的结果。故划线词与C选项“Remain in control of(保持控制)”为同义词,即:掌握好你的工作,这样你就不必为了完成任务而熬夜了,故选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知,文章介绍的是能量饮料对人体的致命影响超过了其益处。其成分包括糖、咖啡因和能量补充物,可能影响心脏功能,导致心跳不规律,甚至送你去医院。不少能量饮料在标签上并没有明确列出有害成分,即使获得了食品药品监督管理局的认可,也不必显示成分数量。D选项“Energy Drinks Could Send You to Hospital(能量饮料会把你送进医院)”概括文章主要内容,符合标题。故选D。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了中国龙的文化意义及其在不同时代的象征变化。
【36题详解】
考查介词。句意:这种龙不同于西方传说中的龙。differ from为固定搭配,意为“与……不同”。故填from。
【37题详解】
考查名词。句意:虽然龙在科学和现实中并不存在,但它在中国人民心中有着不可替代的地位。根据空前in science and可知,空处需用名词reality,表示“现实”,与science并列作宾语。故填reality。
【38题详解】
考查被动语态。句意:虽然龙在科学和现实中并不存在,但它在中国人民心中有着不可替代的地位。that引导定语从句,指代先行词position,与动词replace“取代”之间是被动关系,需要使用被动语态,情态动词can’t后接动词原形。故填be replaced。
【39题详解】
考查副词。句意:龙的形象可能起源于新石器时代早期,当时中国的祖先联合了黄河沿岸的各个部落,并将他们的图腾形象编织在一起。空处需用副词probably作状语修饰动词originated,表示“可能”。故填probably。
【40题详解】
考查定语从句。句意同上。空处需用关系词引导非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词the early New Stone Ages,且在定语从句中作时间状语,所以空处需用关系副词when引导定语从句。故填when。

【42题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:对于中国人来说,它也是权力的象征,与天气有关,是雨和水的带来者。本句已有谓语is,且空处没有连词,所以空处需用非谓语动词作后置定语修饰名词power,动词associate与power之间是被动关系,所以空处需用过去分词associated作后置定语。故填associated。
【43题详解】
考查时态。句意:近年来,龙逐渐成为吉祥物,象征着成功、努力和创造力,在许多社会活动中占据着中心地位。根据时间状语In recent times可知,空处谓语动词需用现在完成时态:has/have done,主语是单数dragon,所以此处助动词需用has。故填has become。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意同上。空处需用非谓语动词作后置定语修饰名词figure,symbol的动词形式为symbolize,与其逻辑主语figure之间是主动关系,所以空处需用现在分词形式作后置定语。故填symbolizing。
【45题详解】
考查冠词。句意:它表明了文明与自然之间存在的和谐。此处特指文明与自然之间存在的和谐,所以空处需用定冠词the表示特指。故填the。

In this country, we’re blessed with All 4, which gives us unlimited access to the shows from all Channel 4 TV channels. I love its free-to-air video-on-demand service. It is really a joy: I’m currently puzzling my way through a very dark spy series called Guardian of the Castle. I really love watching it.
The only limitation of All 4 is that the film or the show stops every 15 or so minutes and some ads appear. And here’s the thing: you cannot fast-forward them! It’s incredibly annoying.
As a kid, I used to like watching ads on TV; I think I even started recording them. I remember asking my confused parents if they used a particular camera, simply because in the ad there was a nice cartoon face on the camera. I fell out of the love with ads after an art lesson in middle school. My art teacher, Mr. Courts, said something about them just being a way of getting us to buy things we didn’t really want or need. He had a point. I never felt the same way about them again.
Now, it is very painful for me to watch them in the middle of an exciting spy series. During the three ad breaks, I forced myself to sit through the other night. There was a Lloyds Band ad featuring a black horse racing alongside delighted people to the sound of a Beatles track. It made me want to tie my TV to the tail of a galloping (飞驰的) horse, so I could never watch anything of the sort ever again. However, on the other hand, I know that All 4 offers free service just because it makes profits (利润) from ads. As a big fan of All 4, I have to get rid of my dissatisfaction and tolerate (忍受) its limitation since it really offers me films and shows I like.
4. What can we know about All 4 from the first two paragraphs?
A. Its programmes aren’t very interesting.
B. Its users are forced to watch ads.
C. Its shows cannot be fast-forwarded.
D. Its users are charged much for the service.
5. What did the author think of ads when he was a kid?
A. He found them interesting. B. He thought them quite silly.
C. He regarded them as confusing. D. He considered them misleading.
6. What served as a turning point in the author’s attitude toward ads?
A. His improvement in cartoon drawing.
B. His parents’ purchasing a special camera.
C. His art teacher’s negative comment on ads.
D. His recording the camera advertisement.
7. What can we learn from the text?
A. Time is money. B. Every coin has two sides.
C. Hope for the best; prepare for the worst. D. A good beginning makes a good ending.

Buying clothes for special events, hiding the price tickets and returning them to the store the next day has for years been the method of money-saving shoppers. Today people are doing it just for social media.
A survey conducted by the credit card company Barclaycard showed that nearly one in ten UK shoppers admits to buying clothing only to post photos on social media for likes. After the “outfit (装束) of the day” (OOTD) makes it online, they return it back to the store. According to Barclaycard, the “try before you buy” policy of online retailers (零售商) — where people pay for clothing they order online after they try it on at home — could be leading to this rising trend.
But the rise of social media means that everyone, not just superstars, expects to build and maintain a personal brand. Since we’re recording our lives and posting them online for public judgement, getting caught in the same outfits more than once should be avoided. And the cost of all those outfits of the day adds up, which makes returning a popular way.
There are brands that make clothes specially for social media shoppers, like Fashion Nova. “These are clothes made for social media: meant to be worn once, photographed and abandoned,” Allison P. Davis wrote in her report about the brand. Another favourite of the social media age is Rent the Runway, which lets customers rent designer clothing for a fee.
Some, however, are moving in the opposite direction. Groups promoting “work uniforms” have increased greatly in recent years, aiming to free women from “the trouble of clothing decisions”. The concept of the “capsule wardrobe (胶囊衣橱)”, which calls for purchasing a small number of high-quality pieces instead of lots of trendy throwaway clothes, is also making a comeback.
8. What does the survey by Barclaycard suggest?
A. Britons follow the fashion stars closely.
B. Some Britons over-order and return clothes.
C. Britons try on clothes before online purchases.
D. Some Britons send outfits back after taking pictures.
9. What’s Fashion Nova’s special service?
A. Renting top designers’ clothes.
B. Offering customers single-use clothes.
C. Creating unique shopping experiences.
D. Helping shoppers improve their clothing style.
10. What’s the idea behind the “capsule wardrobe”?
A. Better fewer, but better. B. Less addition, but more enjoyment.
C. Less uniform, and more freedom. D. More choices, and less trouble.
11. Why does the author write the text?
A. To compare different wearing trends.
B. To introduce Britain’s new wearing trend.
C. To support buying high-quality clothes.
D. To criticize the “try before you buy” policy.

Have you ever felt so tired after staying up for a night that even coffee doesn’t give you the energy that you need? You may have an energy drink, but the benefits of drinking one are heavily outweighed by the risks.
In the past years, more and more studies have found the deadly effect of energy drinks on our bodies. The sugar, caffeine and energy supplements (补充物) in energy drinks make up a deadly mixture of ingredients that can affect your heart function and send you to the hospital!
A study by the university of Bonn, Germany found that frequent consumption of energy drinks can greatly change the way our heart functions. The study went on to say that consuming energy drinks often causes significantly increased heart contractions (收缩) in adults, which has the potential of putting you at risk of irregular heartbeats.
It is possible that many people haven’t noticed the alarming side effects of energy drinks because of the way they are labelled (贴标签). Most energy drinks contain between 80 milligrams to over 350 milligrams of caffeine, sugar and energy supplements. When an energy drink is marked as a diet supplement, it may be put on the market without a “nutrition facts” label, which would show the harmful supplements that are in the drink. However, even if energy drinks are officially accepted by Food and Drug Administration (FDA), they don’t have to show the number of supplements.
Energy drinks may be widely available, but they aren’t the healthiest or safest choice for your body. To stay naturally energised, get organised and stay on top of your work so that you aren’t having to stay up all night to complete tasks. If you’d like a natural energy increase, you could make time for some exercise, which will give you all of the energy you need!
12. Which of the following is the side effect of energy drinks?
A. Gaining weight. B. Having headaches.
C. Causing sleeplessness. D. Hurting people’s hearts.
13. Why are many people unaware of the harmful effects of energy drinks?
A. Because they don’t read the label carefully.
B. Because FDA thinks they’re healthy drinks.
C. Because the harmful materials are not labelled.
D. Because factories of energy drinks lie to drinkers.
14. What does the underlined expression “stay on top of” mean?
A. Perform well in. B. Get highly paid for.
C. Remain in control of. D. Be on the highest point of.
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. Different Ways to Stay Energetic
B. Many People Enjoy Energy Drinks
C. The Materials Energy Drinks Contain
D. Energy Drinks Could Send You to Hospital
