第二部分 阅读理解 (共20个小题,每小题2.5分,满分50分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
Planning a visit to the UK? Here we help with ways to cut your costs.
AVOID BIG EVENTS Big sporting events, concerts and exhibitions can increase the cost of accommodation and make it harder to find a room. A standard double room at the Thistle Brighton on the final Friday of the Brighton Comedy Festival (19 Oct.) cost £ 169. 15 at Booking.com. A week later, the same room cost £ 118.15.
If you can be flexible and want to know dates to avoid--- or you're looking for a big event to pass your time--- check out sites such as Whatsonwhen.com, which allow you to search for events in the UK by city, date and category.
STAYAWAY FROM THE STATION If traveling to your destination by train, you may want to find a good base close to the station, but you could end up paying more for the sake of convenience at the start of your holiday.
Don't be too choosy about the part of town you stay in. Booking two months in advance, the cheapest room at Travelodge's Central Euston hotel in London for Saturday 22 September was £ 95.95 . A room just a tube journey away at its Covent Garden hotel was £ 75.75 . And at Farringdon, a double room cost just £ 62.95 .
LOOK AFTER YOURSELF Really central hotels in cities such as London. Edinburgh and Cardiff can cost a fortune, especially at weekends and during big events. As a choice consider checking into a self-catering flat with its own kitchen, where you can cook. Often these flats are hidden away on the top floors of city centre buildings. A great example is the historic O'Neill Flat on Edinburgh’s Royal Mile, available for £ 420 for five days in late September, with room for four adults.
GET ON A BIKE London’s "Boris bikes' have attracted the most attention, but other cities also have similar programs that let you rent a bicycle and explore at your own pace, saving you on public transport or car parking costs.
Among the smaller cities with their own programs are Newcastle (casual members pay around £ 1.50 for two hours) and Cardiff (free for up to 30 minutes, or £5 per day).
36. The Brighton Comedy Festival is mentioned mainly to show big events may ________.
A. help travelers pass time
B. attract lots of travelers to the UK
C. allow travelers to make flexible plans
D. cause travelers to pay more for accommodation
37. "Farringdon" in Paragraph 5 is most probably ________.
A. a hotel away from the train station B. the tube line to Covent Garden
C. an ideal holiday destination D. the name of a travel agency
38. The passage shows that the O'Neill Flat ________.
A. lies on the ground floor
B. is located in central London
C. provides cooking facilities for tourists
D. costs over £100 on average per day in late September
39. Cardiff’s program allows a free bike for a maximum period of ________.
A. half an hour B. one hour
C. one hour and a half D. two hours
40. The main purpose of the passage is ________.
A. to tell visitors how to book in advance
B. to supply visitors with hotel information
C. to show visitors the importance of self-help
D. to offer visitors some money-saving tips
B
When I set out to drop my dad of fat the airport, it was dark and dreary(沉闷的). It started to rain on the way. When I left the airport, the visibility wasn`t clear because of the drops of rain. It was before 6 am.
Even though the road conditions were poor, I drove at my normal speed. I was angry with the more cautious drivers ahead of me that were delaying my drive. The exit ramp (坡道) to the highway was a tight spiral(急盘旋). It is a dangerous spot in good weather and totally scary when the weather is miserable or it is dark. But I didn`t want to slow down and arrive home any later than necessary. I drove down the ramp too fast. The road was wet and my car slid, landing face down on the passenger side.
I didn’t like to drive by myself at the time and had debated taking my husband and son with me on the trip. Thankfully, I was alone in the car. My accident was slight. In fact, I was lucky enough not to have a single scratch. I shuddered to think the injuries my son would have suffered had he been in the backseat of that car with no seatbelt when it rolled. After the ear rolled three times, I found my mobile phone was lost in a pile of small things that were all lying in the bottom of the car. A lady was kind enough to let me borrow her mobile phone, but with-out the numbers preprogrammed who could I call? I was lucky enough to remember my father`s mobile phone number, and fortunate that he hadn`t yet got on his plane.
You never know when an accident will happen. As a driver, I will keep safety in mind by obeying all traffic laws and have safe-driving habits, especially in bad weather. Insist your children always wear their seatbelts. Life is a journey and everyone should value it and enjoy the ride.
41. Why was the author angry with those drivers?
A. She thought they drove too slowly. B. They didn’t pay attention to the safety.
C. They made much noise on the ramp. D. They tried to stop her car on the ramp.
42. The car accident happened .
A. at around 6 in the afternoon B. before the author dropped her dad at the airport
C. when the author almost got home D. immediately after the author left the exit to the airport
43. What does the underlined word “shuddered” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? d
A. Remembered clearly. B. Trembled because of fear.
C. Ensured the safety. D. Took control of the bad situation.
44. What is the main reason that resulted in the accident?
A. The visibility was not clear. B. The author drove rather fast.
C. It started to rain heavily then. D. It was an unsafe spot for driving.
45. We can learn from this passage that the author_________.
A. had just a single scratch B. felt sorry because her son was injured
C. called her father for help D. found her mobile phone with the help of a lady
C
To write his book, The 5-Factor World Diet, nutritionist Harley Pasternak traveled to the healthiest countries around the world to learn more about what made their meals extra nourishing.
He noted that Japanese people ate a wonderful variety of seaweeds, and that Chinese people tried to include at least five different colors in every meal. Pasternak also came away with some valuable observations about how different the North American way of life was, compared with many other countries.
For starters, Americans eat much bigger portions than people in other countries. “We don’t prioritize eating seasonally or locally, and we also add lots of salt, sugar and thickening agents to our foods, explained Pasternak. Contrast that to the healthy Mediterranean, Nordic and Okinawan diets listed in Pasternak’s book. They all seem to stick to the distinction of regional, seasonal produce.”
For example, a traditional Mediterranean diet includes fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts and olive oil as the main components of nutritional intake. Fish, chicken and red wine make moderate appearances, while red meat, salt and sugar are used much less often. The benefits of a traditional Mediterranean diet have been studied since the 1970s, and researchers have found that living that olive oil life can help people lose weight, lower their heart disease risk and reverse diabetes (糖尿病).
Most other healthy eating cultures also make meals an event — say, multiple courses around the family table, or a glass or two of red wine at a long lunch — as opposed to hurriedly wolfing down handfuls of cereal above the kitchen sink and calling it dinner.
Each of the healthy eating cultures has its own unique feature. But Pasternak did take note of one unifying factor in all of the healthy societies he observed. “The only overlapping feature in most of these healthy countries is that they all walk way more than the average American,” said Pasternak. “So really, regardless of what you’re eating, if someone’s walking four miles more than you each day, they’ re going to be a lot thinner and live a lot longer than you.”
46. What characterizes Japanese and Chinese foods?
A. Variety. B. Flavor. C. Color. D. Naturalness.
47. What is typical of Americans in the way of eating?
A. They emphasize nutrition. B. They tend to eat quite a lot.
C. They prioritize convenience. D. They care about flavors.
48. What features in Mediterranean, Nordic and Okinawan diets?
A. Fruits and vegetables. B. Olive oil and red wine.
C. Seasonal local produce. D. Unprocessed ingredients.
49. What do people in most healthy eating cultures have in common?
A. They get the whole family to eat at a table.
B. They eat their meals regularly and punctually.
C. They consume plenty of cereal for breakfast.
D. They attach great importance to their meals.
50. Compared with the average American, people in healthy societies ______ .
A. walk at least 4 miles a day
B. do considerably more walking
C. pay more attention to body shape
D. consume a lot more organic food
D
The traditional school year, with three months of vacation every summer, was first implemented when America was an agricultural society and the summer months were needed for farm work. Since then, we’ve completely changed as a nation. Students no longer spend summers farming, but they aren’t in school, either. The average American student receives 13 weeks off from school each calendar year — with about 11 of those during the summer. Few other countries have more than seven weeks off in a school calendar.
With the U. S. lagging behind other countries in academics, it’s time to consider year-round schooling. One benefit of this change is that students will not fall victim to the “summer slide,” or the well-documented phenomenon where students forget some of the knowledge they have acquired when too much time is taken off from school. Decades of research shows that it can take from 8 to 13 weeks at the beginning of every school year for students to get back to where they were before the summer holiday.
But year-round schooling isn’t just about academics. Teachers and students experience a closer relationship in year-round schools than they do in traditional schools and, in the absence of any long-term break, students do not feel detached from the school environment. These closer bonds and greater attachment pay off. Research shows that students in year-round schools are more self-confident and feel more positive about their schooling experience.
But don’t kids need time to relax? Some childhood development experts believe that time off from school is vital to healthy development as kids are not designed to spend so much of their time inside classrooms and the summer break provides a perfect opportunity to get outside. The problem with this argument is that most children aren’t playing outside or even spending time with other kids. While some children visit summer camps, most stay at home, watching TV or playing games on electronic devices, which hardly benefits them.
The U. S. has changed from a farming economy to a knowledge-and innovation-based economy, so it makes sense for the school year to change as well.
51. Why did America’s traditional school year have a three-month summer vacation?
A. Students needed to help with farm work.
B. Students needed time to learn necessary farming skills.
C. The agricultural society then attached less importance to academics.
D. America lagged behind other countries in making a scientific school calendar.
52. What benefit will year-round schooling bring students in addition to improving their learning?
A. It will help them get back to where their lessons started.
B. It will enable them to absorb what they have learned.
C. It will familiarize them with the school environment.
D. It will strengthen their relationship with teachers.
53. What do some childhood development experts believe about the long summer vacation?
A. It meets students’ need to study on their own.
B. It enables students to learn about the outside world.
C. It satisfies students’ desire to stay longer at home.
D. It contributes to students’ healthy growth.
54. What is the argument against the experts’ idea of a long summer vacation?
A. It does little good to most students. B. It benefits many students playing outside.
C. It leads students to neglect their studies. D. It makes students addicted to computer games.
55. What does the author think of the traditional school year in the U. S. today?
A. Well-grounded. B. Culture-bound. C. Outdated. D. Welcomed
第II卷 (满分35分)
第一节:阅读表达 (共5个小题,每小题2分,满分10分)
阅读下面短文,按照要求完成阅读任务。
At the age of forty-five, my usually well-ordered life became full of changes. After twenty-two years of working in a bank, a plan to use less staff led to the unemployment of over one hundred people. Unluckily,I was one of them.
My once good future became uncertain. However, I was not a single parent, so the family did not depend only on my income and my husband can support the family. My motto(格言) has always been,“Change is good; change is progress, but when it affected my life, I had to change it. Accept change and make the most of it.” From the beginning, I chose to look at this matter not as bad luck, but as a welcome chance. I refused to become sorry; instead, I actively planned to do something new and different.
Having a positive attitude made all the difference in the way I pursued(追求) the future. First, I decided to return to college and graduate many years later than I should have. Doing this at my age took more than a little courage. Not being a graduate had never held me back in my career in the bank, but now it’s a personal goal I was looking forward to achieving. With a lot of determination, I went to evening classes and became an adult student. In the class, I became more and more confident. During this time,I realized that no matter what life throws in our way, nothing can hinder our personal growth.
The second thing I did to improve my inner self was to reevaluate(评价) my past life. It used to be filled with endless,and sometimes meaningless events. But now, my heart and life are completely around people I care for.
The loss of my job led to some positive changes in my life. Revisiting the past made room for the future. I realize that I have accepted the change, and am making the most of it.
56. What made the author lose her job? (no more than 10 words)
57. What did the author do after the unemployment? (no more than 15 words)
58. How do you understand the underlined word “hinder” in Paragraph 3? (no more than 1 words)

C. which D. that
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句。句意:我很高兴去年有一个月的休假,在那期间我可以和家人一起去巴黎旅行。分析句子可知,I could travel with my family to Paris.为定语从句修饰先行词one-month break,从句缺乏时间状语,故用关系副词when,故选B。
【点睛】关系副词的用法。
1. 关系副词用于引出定语从句,主要有when, where, why:
Sunday is the day when very few people go to work. 星期日是没什么人上班的日子。
That’s the reason why he dislikes me. 这就是他不喜欢我的原因。
Do you know a shop where I can find sandals? 你知道哪家商店我能找到凉鞋吗?
【注】关系副词用于引出定语从句,且在从句中用作状语。关系副词when 表示时间,where表示地点,why表示原因。
2. 使用关系副词的注意点
(1) how 不能用作关系副词,不要想当然地将how用作关系副词置于the way 后表示方式: 他说话就是那个样子。
误:This is the way how he spoke.
正:This is how he spoke. / This is the way (that, in which) he spoke.
(2) 关系副词when和where既可引导限制性定语从句,也可引导非限制性定语从句,但why只能引导限制性定语从句,不能引导非限制性定语从句(若引导非限制性定语从句,可用for which reason)。
(3) 引导定语从句时,when 的先行词为时间,where的先行词为地点,why的先行词为原因(主要是the reason),但是反过来却不一定:
Don’t forget the time (that) I’ve told you. 不要忘记我告诉你的时间。
This is the house (that) he bought recently. 这就是他最近买的那座房子。
Please tell me the reason (that) you know. 请告诉我你所知道的原因吧。
本题为when在从句中作时间状语,修饰先行词break。

【点睛】将来完成时的考查要求考生非常细心,首先要判定发生在将来,而且将来的某个时间已经完成,考生需通过一定的时间状语和语境来判定使用该种时态。题根据句意可知,我的目标还没有实现,而且是我想象实现了的那一天,由此可知,此处用将来完成时。
14. With more forests being destroyed in that area, a quantity of land ______ deserts each year.
A. has been turned into B. have been turned into
C. is being turned into D. are being turned into
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查动词时态和语态。句意:随着更多的森林在这个地区被破坏,每年都有大量的土地正被变成沙漠。根据each year和表示“每年有大量的土地正变成沙漠”可知,句子为现在进行时态。且turn into和land之间为被动关系,所以句子为现在进行时态的被动语态,构成为be being done。句子的谓语动词的单复数根据quantity的单复数确定,quantity是单数,谓语动词用单数,quantity是复数,谓语动词用复数,此处为a quantity of+名词作主语,所以be动词用is。故选C。
15. One reason for her preference for this school is ______, as she put it, it can provide for her future development.

【解析】
【详解】考查表语从句。句意:她偏爱这所学校的一个原因在于,正如她所说,这所学校能够为她的未来发展提供支持。根据空格前的is和空格后的句子it can provide for her future development可知,空格处引导表语从句,从句中provide后缺少宾语,要用what引导。故选B项。

第二部分 阅读理解 (共20个小题,每小题2.5分,满分50分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
Planning a visit to the UK? Here we help with ways to cut your costs.
AVOID BIG EVENTS Big sporting events, concerts and exhibitions can increase the cost of accommodation and make it harder to find a room. A standard double room at the Thistle Brighton on the final Friday of the Brighton Comedy Festival (19 Oct.) cost £ 169. 15 at Booking.com. A week later, the same room cost £ 118.15.
If you can be flexible and want to know dates to avoid--- or you're looking for a big event to pass your time--- check out sites such as Whatsonwhen.com, which allow you to search for events in the UK by city, date and category.
STAYAWAY FROM THE STATION If traveling to your destination by train, you may want to find a good base close to the station, but you could end up paying more for the sake of convenience at the start of your holiday.
Don't be too choosy about the part of town you stay in. Booking two months in advance, the cheapest room at Travelodge's Central Euston hotel in London for Saturday 22 September was £ 95.95 . A room just a tube journey away at its Covent Garden hotel was £ 75.75 . And at Farringdon, a double room cost just £ 62.95 .
LOOK AFTER YOURSELF Really central hotels in cities such as London. Edinburgh and Cardiff can cost a fortune, especially at weekends and during big events. As a choice consider checking into a self-catering flat with its own kitchen, where you can cook. Often these flats are hidden away on the top floors of city centre buildings. A great example is the historic O'Neill Flat on Edinburgh’s Royal Mile, available for £ 420 for five days in late September, with room for four adults.
GET ON A BIKE London’s "Boris bikes' have attracted the most attention, but other cities also have similar programs that let you rent a bicycle and explore at your own pace, saving you on public transport or car parking costs.
Among the smaller cities with their own programs are Newcastle (casual members pay around £ 1.50 for two hours) and Cardiff (free for up to 30 minutes, or £5 per day).
36. The Brighton Comedy Festival is mentioned mainly to show big events may ________.
A. help travelers pass time
B. attract lots of travelers to the UK
C. allow travelers to make flexible plans
D. cause travelers to pay more for accommodation
37. "Farringdon" in Paragraph 5 is most probably ________.
A. a hotel away from the train station B. the tube line to Covent Garden
C. an ideal holiday destination D. the name of a travel agency
38. The passage shows that the O'Neill Flat ________.
A. lies on the ground floor
B. is located in central London
C. provides cooking facilities for tourists
D. costs over £100 on average per day in late September
39. Cardiff’s program allows a free bike for a maximum period of ________.
A. half an hour B. one hour
C. one hour and a half D. two hours
40. The main purpose of the passage is ________.
A. to tell visitors how to book in advance
B. to supply visitors with hotel information
C. to show visitors the importance of self-help
D. to offer visitors some money-saving tips
【答案】36. D 37. A 38. C 39. A 40. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了几个去英国旅游时有效节省费用的方法。
【36题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Big sporting events, concerts and exhibitions can increase the cost of accommodation and make it harder to find a room.(大型体育赛事、音乐会和展览会增加住宿成本,更难找到房间。)”可知,提到The Brighton Comedy Festival主要是为了展示可能会导致游客支付更多的住宿费用的重大事件。故选D。
【37题详解】
推理判断题。根据此部分标题“STAYAWAY FROM THE STATION(远离车站)”以及“If traveling to your destination by train, you may want to find a good base close to the station, but you could end up paying more for the sake of convenience at the start of your holiday.(如果你乘火车去你的目的地,你可能想找一个靠近车站的好基地,但是你可能会在假期开始的时候为了方便而花更多的钱。)”可知,靠近车站,交通便利意味着要付出更多的钱。再由下文的举例说明,“£ 95.95、£ 75.75、£ 62.95”这三个数据的对比可知,离车站越近,价格越高,由此推知,价格最便宜的Farringdon很可能是远离车站的一个旅馆。故选A。
【38题详解】
细节理解题。根据LOOK AFTER YOURSELF部分的“As a choice consider checking into a self-catering flat with its own kitchen, where you can cook. Often these flats are hidden away on the top floors of city centre buildings. A great example is the historic O'Neill Flat on Edinburgh’s Royal Mile…(作为一种选择,你可以考虑租一套可以自己做饭、自己做饭的公寓。这些公寓通常隐藏在市中心建筑的顶层。位于爱丁堡皇家英里(Royal Mile)的奥尼尔公寓(O'Neill Flat)就是一个很好的例子……)”可知,奥尼尔公寓为游客提供烹饪设施。故选C。
【39题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Among the smaller cities with their own programs are Newcastle (casual members pay around £ 1.50 for two hours) and Cardiff (free for up to 30 minutes, or £5 per day).(有自己项目的小城市包括纽卡斯尔(非正式会员每两个小时支付约1.5英镑)和卡迪夫(最多30分钟免费,或每天5英镑)。)”可知,免费使用自行车的最长时限是30分钟,即half an hour。故选A。
【40题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Planning a visit to the UK? Here we help with ways to cut your costs.(计划访问英国?在这里,我们将帮助您降低成本。)”可知,这篇文章的主要目的是为游客提供一些省钱的小窍门。故选D。
B
When I set out to drop my dad of fat the airport, it was dark and dreary(沉闷的). It started to rain on the way. When I left the airport, the visibility wasn`t clear because of the drops of rain. It was before 6 am.
Even though the road conditions were poor, I drove at my normal speed. I was angry with the more cautious drivers ahead of me that were delaying my drive. The exit ramp (坡道) to the highway was a tight spiral(急盘旋). It is a dangerous spot in good weather and totally scary when the weather is miserable or it is dark. But I didn`t want to slow down and arrive home any later than necessary. I drove down the ramp too fast. The road was wet and my car slid, landing face down on the passenger side.
I didn’t like to drive by myself at the time and had debated taking my husband and son with me on the trip. Thankfully, I was alone in the car. My accident was slight. In fact, I was lucky enough not to have a single scratch. I shuddered to think the injuries my son would have suffered had he been in the backseat of that car with no seatbelt when it rolled. After the ear rolled three times, I found my mobile phone was lost in a pile of small things that were all lying in the bottom of the car. A lady was kind enough to let me borrow her mobile phone, but with-out the numbers preprogrammed who could I call? I was lucky enough to remember my father`s mobile phone number, and fortunate that he hadn`t yet got on his plane.
You never know when an accident will happen. As a driver, I will keep safety in mind by obeying all traffic laws and have safe-driving habits, especially in bad weather. Insist your children always wear their seatbelts. Life is a journey and everyone should value it and enjoy the ride.
41. Why was the author angry with those drivers?
A. She thought they drove too slowly. B. They didn’t pay attention to the safety.
C. They made much noise on the ramp. D. They tried to stop her car on the ramp.
42. The car accident happened .
A. at around 6 in the afternoon B. before the author dropped her dad at the airport
C. when the author almost got home D. immediately after the author left the exit to the airport
43. What does the underlined word “shuddered” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? d
A. Remembered clearly. B. Trembled because of fear.
C. Ensured the safety. D. Took control of the bad situation.
44. What is the main reason that resulted in the accident?
A. The visibility was not clear. B. The author drove rather fast.
C. It started to rain heavily then. D. It was an unsafe spot for driving.
45. We can learn from this passage that the author_________.
A. had just a single scratch B. felt sorry because her son was injured
C. called her father for help D. found her mobile phone with the help of a lady
【答案】41. A 42. D 43. B 44. B 45. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。作者通过自己在雨天发生的一次车祸告诉我们:作为驾驶员,一定要遵守交通规则,养成安全驾驶的习惯。
【41题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的第二句“I was angry with the more cautious drivers ahead of me that were delaying my drive.(我对前面那些比较谨慎的司机很生气,因为他们耽误了我的行程)”可知,作者生气是因为她认为他们开得太慢,故选A。
【42题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“When I set out to drop my dad of fat the airport, it was dark and dreary(沉闷的). It started to rain on the way. When I left the airport, the visibility wasn`t clear because of the drops of rain.(当我出发送爸爸去机场的时候,天又黑又闷。路上开始下雨了。当我离开机场时,由于下着雨点,能见度不太好)”以及第二段“The exit ramp (坡道) to the highway was a tight spiral(急盘旋). It is a dangerous spot in good weather and totally scary when the weather is miserable or it is dark. But I didn`t want to slow down and arrive home any later than necessary. I drove down the ramp too fast. The road was wet and my car slid, landing face down on the passenger side.(通往高速公路的出口匝道是一个紧密的螺旋形。天气好的时候,这是一个危险的地方,天气不好或天黑的时候,这是一个非常可怕的地方。但我不想放慢速度,回家的时间比必要的晚。我把车开下斜坡开得太快了。路很湿,我的车滑了下来,脸朝下摔在了副驾驶一侧)”可知,车祸发生在在作者离开机场出口的时候。故选D。
【43题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线词后文“to think the injuries my son would have suffered had he been in the backseat of that car with no seatbelt when it rolled”可知,要是当时儿子坐在后座上没系安全带,翻车时他一定会严重受伤,一想到这,作者因为害怕而发抖,推断出shuddered的意思是“因害怕而发抖”,故选B。
【44题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“But I didn`t want to slow down and arrive home any later than necessary. I drove down the ramp too fast.(但我不想放慢速度,回家的时间比必要的晚。我把车开下斜坡开得太快了)”可知,作者的车速过快导致了这次事故,故选B。
【45题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“I was lucky enough to remember my father`s mobile phone number, and fortunate that he hadn`t yet got on his plane.(幸运的是,我记得父亲的手机号码,幸运的是他还没有上飞机)”可知,作者打电话向父亲求助,故选C。

To write his book, The 5-Factor World Diet, nutritionist Harley Pasternak traveled to the healthiest countries around the world to learn more about what made their meals extra nourishing.
He noted that Japanese people ate a wonderful variety of seaweeds, and that Chinese people tried to include at least five different colors in every meal. Pasternak also came away with some valuable observations about how different the North American way of life was, compared with many other countries.
For starters, Americans eat much bigger portions than people in other countries. “We don’t prioritize eating seasonally or locally, and we also add lots of salt, sugar and thickening agents to our foods, explained Pasternak. Contrast that to the healthy Mediterranean, Nordic and Okinawan diets listed in Pasternak’s book. They all seem to stick to the distinction of regional, seasonal produce.”
For example, a traditional Mediterranean diet includes fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts and olive oil as the main components of nutritional intake. Fish, chicken and red wine make moderate appearances, while red meat, salt and sugar are used much less often. The benefits of a traditional Mediterranean diet have been studied since the 1970s, and researchers have found that living that olive oil life can help people lose weight, lower their heart disease risk and reverse diabetes (糖尿病).
Most other healthy eating cultures also make meals an event — say, multiple courses around the family table, or a glass or two of red wine at a long lunch — as opposed to hurriedly wolfing down handfuls of cereal above the kitchen sink and calling it dinner.
Each of the healthy eating cultures has its own unique feature. But Pasternak did take note of one unifying factor in all of the healthy societies he observed. “The only overlapping feature in most of these healthy countries is that they all walk way more than the average American,” said Pasternak. “So really, regardless of what you’re eating, if someone’s walking four miles more than you each day, they’ re going to be a lot thinner and live a lot longer than you.”
46. What characterizes Japanese and Chinese foods?
A. Variety. B. Flavor. C. Color. D. Naturalness.
47. What is typical of Americans in the way of eating?
A. They emphasize nutrition. B. They tend to eat quite a lot.
C. They prioritize convenience. D. They care about flavors.
48. What features in Mediterranean, Nordic and Okinawan diets?
A. Fruits and vegetables. B. Olive oil and red wine.
C. Seasonal local produce. D. Unprocessed ingredients.
49. What do people in most healthy eating cultures have in common?
A. They get the whole family to eat at a table.
B. They eat their meals regularly and punctually.
C. They consume plenty of cereal for breakfast.
D. They attach great importance to their meals.
50. Compared with the average American, people in healthy societies ______ .
A. walk at least 4 miles a day
B. do considerably more walking
C. pay more attention to body shape
D. consume a lot more organic food
【答案】46. A 47. B 48. C 49. D 50. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了营养学家Harley Pasternak为写书《5要素世界饮食》而做的全球考察,并介绍了不同国家饮食习惯的差异以及健康饮食的共同点。
【46题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“He noted that Japanese people ate a wonderful variety of seaweeds, and that Chinese people tried to include at least five different colors in every meal. (他注意到日本人吃各种各样美味的海藻,而中国人则尽量在每顿饭中至少包含五种不同的颜色)”可知,日本人饮食特点是食物种类丰富,中国人饮食特点是每顿饭尽量包含五种不同的颜色,因此两者共同特点是食物的多样性。故选A。
【47题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“For starters, Americans eat much bigger portions than people in other countries. (首先,美国人吃的分量比其他国家的人要多得多)”可知,美国人饮食特点是吃得很多。故选B。
【48题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“They all seem to stick to the distinction of regional, seasonal produce. (它们似乎都坚持使用当地、应季的农产品)”可知,地中海、北欧和冲绳的饮食习惯特点是使用当地、应季的农产品。故选C。
【49题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“Most other healthy eating cultures also make meals an event — say, multiple courses around the family table, or a glass or two of red wine at a long lunch — as opposed to hurriedly wolfing down handfuls of cereal above the kitchen sink and calling it dinner. (大多数其他健康的饮食文化也会让用餐成为一件大事 —— 比如,在家庭餐桌旁享用多道菜肴,或者在漫长的午餐中喝上一两杯红酒 —— 而不是匆忙地在厨房水槽边狼吞虎咽几把麦片,就称之为晚餐)”以及后文描述可知,大多数健康的饮食文化都很重视吃饭这件事,将吃饭视为一种活动,因此健康的饮食文化的共同点是都很重视吃饭。故选D。
【50题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段中““The only overlapping feature in most of these healthy countries is that they all walk way more than the average American,” said Pasternak. (帕斯特纳克说:“在这些健康的国家中,唯一的共同点是,他们的步行量都远远超过普通美国人。”)”可知,与普通美国人相比,健康国家的人步行量要多得多。故选B。
D
The traditional school year, with three months of vacation every summer, was first implemented when America was an agricultural society and the summer months were needed for farm work. Since then, we’ve completely changed as a nation. Students no longer spend summers farming, but they aren’t in school, either. The average American student receives 13 weeks off from school each calendar year — with about 11 of those during the summer. Few other countries have more than seven weeks off in a school calendar.
With the U. S. lagging behind other countries in academics, it’s time to consider year-round schooling. One benefit of this change is that students will not fall victim to the “summer slide,” or the well-documented phenomenon where students forget some of the knowledge they have acquired when too much time is taken off from school. Decades of research shows that it can take from 8 to 13 weeks at the beginning of every school year for students to get back to where they were before the summer holiday.
But year-round schooling isn’t just about academics. Teachers and students experience a closer relationship in year-round schools than they do in traditional schools and, in the absence of any long-term break, students do not feel detached from the school environment. These closer bonds and greater attachment pay off. Research shows that students in year-round schools are more self-confident and feel more positive about their schooling experience.
But don’t kids need time to relax? Some childhood development experts believe that time off from school is vital to healthy development as kids are not designed to spend so much of their time inside classrooms and the summer break provides a perfect opportunity to get outside. The problem with this argument is that most children aren’t playing outside or even spending time with other kids. While some children visit summer camps, most stay at home, watching TV or playing games on electronic devices, which hardly benefits them.
The U. S. has changed from a farming economy to a knowledge-and innovation-based economy, so it makes sense for the school year to change as well.
51. Why did America’s traditional school year have a three-month summer vacation?
A. Students needed to help with farm work.
B. Students needed time to learn necessary farming skills.
C. The agricultural society then attached less importance to academics.
D. America lagged behind other countries in making a scientific school calendar.
52. What benefit will year-round schooling bring students in addition to improving their learning?
A. It will help them get back to where their lessons started.
B. It will enable them to absorb what they have learned.
C. It will familiarize them with the school environment.
D. It will strengthen their relationship with teachers.
53. What do some childhood development experts believe about the long summer vacation?
A. It meets students’ need to study on their own.
B. It enables students to learn about the outside world.
C. It satisfies students’ desire to stay longer at home.
D. It contributes to students’ healthy growth.
54. What is the argument against the experts’ idea of a long summer vacation?
A. It does little good to most students. B. It benefits many students playing outside.
C. It leads students to neglect their studies. D. It makes students addicted to computer games.
55. What does the author think of the traditional school year in the U. S. today?
A. Well-grounded. B. Culture-bound. C. Outdated. D. Welcomed
【答案】51. A 52. D 53. D 54. A 55. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。作者在文中介绍了长暑假学年的由来以及全年制教育的益处,指出美国应该从传统的长暑假教育转向全年制教育。
【51题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“The traditional school year, with three months of vacation every summer, was first implemented when America was an agricultural society and the summer months were needed for farm work.(传统的学年,每年夏天有三个月的假期,最初是在美国还是一个农业社会的时候实施的,夏天的几个月需要从事农业工作)”可知,美国传统的学年有三个月的暑假是因为学生需要帮忙做农活。故选A。
【52题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Teachers and students experience a closer relationship in year-round schools than they do in traditional schools and, in the absence of any long-term break, students do not feel detached from the school environment.(在全年制学校里,老师和学生的关系比在传统学校里更密切,在没有任何长期休息的情况下,学生不会感到与学校环境脱节)”可知,除了提高学生的学习能力外,全年制学校将加强学生与老师的关系。故选D。
【53题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Some childhood development experts believe that time off from school is vital to healthy development as kids are not designed to spend so much of their time inside classrooms and the summer break provides a perfect opportunity to get outside.(一些儿童发展专家认为,离开学校的时间对健康发展至关重要,因为孩子们不适合在教室里花那么多时间,而暑假提供了一个到外面去的绝佳机会)”可知,一些儿童发展专家认为长暑假有助于学生的健康成长。故选D。
【54题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“The problem with this argument is that most children aren’t playing outside or even spending time with other kids. While some children visit summer camps, most stay at home, watching TV or playing games on electronic devices, which hardly benefits them.(这种观点的问题在于,大多数孩子都不出去玩,甚至不花时间和其他孩子在一起。虽然有些孩子参加夏令营,但大多数孩子呆在家里,看电视或玩电子设备游戏,这对他们几乎没有好处)”可知,专家们反对放长暑假的理由是它对大多数学生没有什么好处。故选A。
【55题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“The U. S. has changed from a farming economy to a knowledge-and innovation-based economy, so it makes sense for the school year to change as well.(美国已经从农业经济转变为以知识和创新为基础的经济,所以学年的变化也是有意义的)”可知,作者认为当今美国的传统学年过时了。故选C。
第II卷 (满分35分)
第一节:阅读表达 (共5个小题,每小题2分,满分10分)
阅读下面短文,按照要求完成阅读任务。
At the age of forty-five, my usually well-ordered life became full of changes. After twenty-two years of working in a bank, a plan to use less staff led to the unemployment of over one hundred people. Unluckily,I was one of them.
My once good future became uncertain. However, I was not a single parent, so the family did not depend only on my income and my husband can support the family. My motto(格言) has always been,“Change is good; change is progress, but when it affected my life, I had to change it. Accept change and make the most of it.” From the beginning, I chose to look at this matter not as bad luck, but as a welcome chance. I refused to become sorry; instead, I actively planned to do something new and different.
Having a positive attitude made all the difference in the way I pursued(追求) the future. First, I decided to return to college and graduate many years later than I should have. Doing this at my age took more than a little courage. Not being a graduate had never held me back in my career in the bank, but now it’s a personal goal I was looking forward to achieving. With a lot of determination, I went to evening classes and became an adult student. In the class, I became more and more confident. During this time,I realized that no matter what life throws in our way, nothing can hinder our personal growth.
The second thing I did to improve my inner self was to reevaluate(评价) my past life. It used to be filled with endless,and sometimes meaningless events. But now, my heart and life are completely around people I care for.
The loss of my job led to some positive changes in my life. Revisiting the past made room for the future. I realize that I have accepted the change, and am making the most of it.
56. What made the author lose her job? (no more than 10 words)
57. What did the author do after the unemployment? (no more than 15 words)
58. How do you understand the underlined word “hinder” in Paragraph 3? (no more than 1 words)
59. How would you describe the author’s personalities? (no more than 3 words)
60. What’s your attitude towards the “changes” in your life? Please explain. (no more than 20 words)
【答案】56. The bank’s plan to use less staff. Or: Less staff in the bank
57. She returned to college and reevaluated her past life
Or: Return to college and devote more time to her beloved people.
58. Stop/ Prevent; Prohibit /Forbid
59. She is positive /determined/ active / adaptable/hardworking.
60. I will accept the changes and try my best to live a positive life.
Or: I will make use of every chance to be successful in my life.
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了生活中充满了变数,作者用自己的经历告诉我们要接受并善于利用这些改变。
【56题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中最后两句“After twenty-two years of working in a bank, a plan to use less staff led to the unemployment of over one hundred people. Unluckily,I was one of them.(在银行工作了22年之后,一项使用更少员工的计划导致了一百多人失业。不幸的是,我也是其中之一。)”可知,银行的裁员计划让作者失业了,故填The bank’s plan to use less staff. Or: Less staff in the bank。
【57题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中第二句的“First, I decided to return to college and graduate many years later than I should have.(首先,我决定回到大学,比我应该毕业的时间晚许多年。)”及第四段中第一句“The second thing I did to improve my inner self was to reevaluate my past life.(我做的第二件事是改善我的内在自我,重新评估我过去的生活。)”可知,失业后,作者回到大学并重新评估自己过去的生活,故填She returned to college and reevaluated her past life Or: Return to college and devote more time to her beloved people.。
【58题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第三段最后一句“During this time, I realized that no matter what life throws in our way, nothing can hinder our personal growth.( 在这段时间里,我意识到无论生活给我们带来什么,没有什么可以阻碍我们的个人成长。)”可知,无论生活给我们带来了什么(变化),后文应该表达的是没有什么能阻碍我们的个人成长,由此可知画线词词义为“阻碍”,故填Stop/ Prevent; Prohibit /Forbid。
【59题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中最后三句“From the beginning, I chose to look at this matter not as bad luck, but as a welcome chance. I refused to become sorry; instead, I actively planned to do something new and different.(从一开始,我就选择不把这件事看成是坏运气,而是一个可喜的机会。我拒绝道歉;相反,我积极计划做一些新的和不同的事情。)”可知,作者把失业看作一个好机会而不是坏运气,拒绝难过,积极地去做一些新的、不同的事情,下文又说作者回到大学并重新评估过去的生活,由此可见,作者积极、乐观、有决心并且适应能力强,故填She is positive /determined/ active / adaptable/hardworking.。
【60题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中第一句“The loss of my job led to some positive changes in my life.(失业给我的生活带来了一些积极的变化。)”及最后一段中最后一句“I realize that I have accepted the change, and am making the most of it.(我意识到我已经接受了改变,并且正在充分利用它。)”可知,我会接受生活中的变化并积极地生活,故填I will accept the changes and try my best to live a positive life.Or: I will make use of every chance to be successful in my life.。
