In the UK, we’re crazy about hats. Just think of the Mad Hatter in Alice in Wonderland. There’s nothing he loves more than drinking tea and wearing hats.
In my country, some hats are popular for everyday wear while others are just for events. At the yearly British horse racing event, Royal Ascot, women wear hats with flowers and bright colors. The men wear stylish bowler hats (圆顶硬呢帽).
Rich men in England have liked to wear bowler hats since Victorian times. This showed they were gentlemen. In the 20th century, the hat was famously worn by the British actor (演员) and comedian, Charlie Chaplin.
Another popular British hat is the flat cap (鸭舌帽). Workers wore flat caps as they were light and didn’t get in the way. The hat would stay on their head while doing physical work. By the 19th century the flat cap had become a symbol (象征) of working-class culture. Charles Dickens’ Oliver Twist, the orphan child, famously wears a flat cap.
Bowler and homburg hats have gone out of fashion. But the flat cap is still popular today and it’s a hat I often wear. My granddad and my dad would always wear these caps and I guess I’ve continued the tradition.
28. This passage is mainly about ________.
A. hats fashion B. famous actors C. English history D. daily lifestyle
29. What does the underlined word “events” mean in the passage?
A. Film festivals. B. Special habits. C. Fashion shows. D. Important activities.
30. What can we know about the flat cap?
A. Workers didn’t wear their flat caps at work.
B. Many people in the UK wear flat caps now.
C. Rich men enjoyed wearing flat caps as well.
D. The writer’s family wear flat caps every day.

One day when Jakey went outside to play, he found a stuck possum (被困的负鼠) in the window well.
“We’ve got to get that possum out!” Artie and Danny said.
They hurried to their workshop in the barn. When Jakey followed, Artie and Danny were already hard at work drawing up plans.
“We don’t want to touch the possum,” Artie said. “It might bite. Besides, it looks too big to just lift.”
Artie showed Jakey their plan. “First we’ll build a framework over the window well. Then we’ll build a pulley (滑轮) system, levers (杠杆) and a really long rope. If we stand far enough, we can pull that big furball up. And we’ll lower something possums like to eat and use it to get that possum to walk right into the harness (吊带).”
“Right!” said Artie. He pulled half of a sandwich from his pocket.
It was greenish and looked disgusting. Any possum who ate that sandwich would get sick.
Jakey walked around the barn until he found a nice piece of wood. Artie and Danny were so busy with their plans they didn’t even notice.
Jakey pulled it around the side of the house. He slid it into the window well. He wiggled it around until it was slanted (倾斜) against the corner next to the possum.
The possum didn’t seem to like sharing the window well with such a thing. It was angry.
Jakey climbed up into his treehouse and waited. The possum smelled it, then poked it with one foot. Then it walked up the piece of wood and out of the window well and into the woods behind the barn.
Jakey watched the possum run away into the trees. Then he lay on his back and smiled up at the clouds.
31. How did Artie and Danny feel when they showed Jakey their plan?
A. Bored. B. Afraid. C. Surprised. D. Excited.
32. From the passage we know Jakey was _________.
A. gentle and shy B. patient and kind C. strong and smart D. friendly and cute
33. Which is the best title for the story?
A. Perfect Plan B. Saving Possum C. True Friendship D. Great Teamwork

Once you begin to eat potato chips, you may keep eating until the bag is empty. Have you ever experienced this? Why can’t you stop eating these salty chips? Scientists said it is due to a kind of neuron (神经元).
Scientists at the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston have found that some neurons can make us want to eat salt. The neurons take note of whether our bodies are lacking (缺少) sodium (钠), a main part of salt. Then, they send signals to our brain to encourage us to eat more salt, according to the Daily Mail.
How do these neurons work? Scientists did experiments on mice. They found that when mice lack sodium, their body gives off a kind of hormone (激素) called aldosterone. This hormone then makes these neurons become active.
More research showed that adding salt to meals makes people enjoy their food more, Time magazine reported.
Scientists from Deakin University in Australia asked healthy people to eat the same food for lunch for four weeks. The amount of salt in the food was changed each week. At the same time, the scientists measured how much these people ate. They also asked the people how they felt about the meals; for example, if they felt happy or were still hungry after eating.
The results showed that salt made people eat 11 percent more food and calories. When eating low-salt meals, they had better control (控制) over how much they ate. “But when we add salt to that food, all of a sudden those controls are gone,” researcher Russell Keast said to Time.
34. What can we learn about the neurons from the passage?
A. They make a hormone active when bodies lack sodium.
B. They keep telling the body to get more sugar from food.
C. The need of sodium starts the activities of some neurons.
D. One can’t stop eating chips because he lacks the neurons.
35. As Time magazine reported, ________.
A. adding more salt makes food delicious
B. less salt in food makes people happier
C. people control their weight by eating less food
D. people eat more when there is more salt in food
36. What is the writing purpose (目的) of the passage?
A. To share stories of salt history. B. To show facts from some studies.
C. To tell reasons of getting fat. D. To discuss ways of losing weight.
37. The following sentence would best be placed at the end of ________.
This may cause people to go on eating even if they are full.
A. Paragraph 1 B. Paragraph2 C. Paragraph3 D. Paragraph 4

考查形容词原级比较。as well as和……一样好,well为副词;not so good as不如……好,good为形容词;not as well as不如……一样好,well为副词;as good as和……一样好,good为形容词。根据语境可知,此处在表达百闻不如一见,即听到一百次也不如看到一次,应用“不如……好”来表述,且此处位于be动词之后,应用形容词good,所以应该用not so good as。故选B。
10. The boss asked me to work ________ the whole holiday. I have had enough of it!
A. towards B. over C. past D. through
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意:老板让我整个假期都要工作。我真是受够了!
考查介词辨析。towards朝向;over在……期间,通常指较短的时间段;past经过;through表示贯穿整个期间。根据“the whole holiday”以及“I have had enough of it!”可知,“work through the whole holiday”表示“整个假期都在工作”,符合句意“我已经受够了”所表达的持续工作的语境。故选D。

A. a good B. the good C. a better D. the better

考查形容词比较级。根据“I know the plan is not perfect, but I just can’t think of ... one.”可推出想不出比上文提到过的计划更好的,此处泛指“一个更好地计划”,空处用a better。故选C。
12. —What do people mean by saying “You swan (天鹅), he frog (青蛙)!” on the Internet?
—They want to ________ the girls who are hurt by their boyfriends.
A. look for B. cheer up C. stand for D. grow up
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:——人们在网络上说“你是天鹅,他是青蛙!”是什么意思?——他们想让那些被男朋友伤害的女孩振作起来。
考查动词短语辨析。look for寻找;cheer up使……振作起来;stand for代表;grow up长大。根据语境可知,网络上说“你是天鹅,他是青蛙!”是为了让那些被男朋友伤害的女孩振作起来,所以应该用cheer up。故选B。
13. Sorry for the noise. We were just ________ a new washing machine on the balcony.
A. putting up B. putting on C. putting in D. putting out
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:抱歉有噪音。我们刚刚正在阳台上安装一台新洗衣机。

【解析】
【详解】句意:——很多人认为女性不擅长开车。——情况并非如此。我妈妈开车比我爸爸还好,因为她更细心。
考查情景交际。You name it凡是你能说出的(应有尽有);That’s not the case情况并非如此;That’s all right没关系;Can’t agree more非常同意。根据“My mother drives better than my father because she is more careful.”可知,说话者举出反例,说明“女性不擅长开车”这个观点并不成立,故选B。

In the UK, we’re crazy about hats. Just think of the Mad Hatter in Alice in Wonderland. There’s nothing he loves more than drinking tea and wearing hats.
In my country, some hats are popular for everyday wear while others are just for events. At the yearly British horse racing event, Royal Ascot, women wear hats with flowers and bright colors. The men wear stylish bowler hats (圆顶硬呢帽).
Rich men in England have liked to wear bowler hats since Victorian times. This showed they were gentlemen. In the 20th century, the hat was famously worn by the British actor (演员) and comedian, Charlie Chaplin.
Another popular British hat is the flat cap (鸭舌帽). Workers wore flat caps as they were light and didn’t get in the way. The hat would stay on their head while doing physical work. By the 19th century, the flat cap had become a symbol (象征) of working-class culture. Charles Dickens’ Oliver Twist, the orphan child, famously wears a flat cap.
Bowler and homburg hats have gone out of fashion. But the flat cap is still popular today and it’s a hat I often wear. My granddad and my dad would always wear these caps and I guess I’ve continued the tradition.
28. This passage is mainly about ________.

One day when Jakey went outside to play, he found a stuck possum (被困的负鼠) in the window well.
“We’ve got to get that possum out!” Artie and Danny said.
They hurried to their workshop in the barn. When Jakey followed, Artie and Danny were already hard at work drawing up plans.
“We don’t want to touch the possum,” Artie said. “It might bite. Besides, it looks too big to just lift.”
Artie showed Jakey their plan. “First we’ll build a framework over the window well. Then we’ll build a pulley (滑轮) system, levers (杠杆) and a really long rope. If we stand far enough, we can pull that big furball up. And we’ll lower something possums like to eat and use it to get that possum to walk right into the harness (吊带).”
“Right!” said Artie. He pulled half of a sandwich from his pocket.
It was greenish and looked disgusting. Any possum who ate that sandwich would get sick.
Jakey walked around the barn until he found a nice piece of wood. Artie and Danny were so busy with their plans they didn’t even notice.
Jakey pulled it around the side of the house. He slid it into the window well. He wiggled it around until it was slanted (倾斜) against the corner next to the possum.
The possum didn’t seem to like sharing the window well with such a thing. It was angry.
Jakey climbed up into his treehouse and waited. The possum smelled it, then poked it with one foot. Then it walked up the piece of wood and out of the window well and into the woods behind the barn.
Jakey watched the possum run away into the trees. Then he lay on his back and smiled up at the clouds.

Once you begin to eat potato chips, you may keep eating until the bag is empty. Have you ever experienced this? Why can’t you stop eating these salty chips? Scientists said it is due to a kind of neuron (神经元).
Scientists at the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston have found that some neurons can make us want to eat salt. The neurons take note of whether our bodies are lacking (缺少) sodium (钠), a main part of salt. Then, they send signals to our brain to encourage us to eat more salt, according to the Daily Mail.
How do these neurons work? Scientists did experiments on mice. They found that when mice lack sodium, their body gives off a kind of hormone (激素) called aldosterone. This hormone then makes these neurons become active.
More research showed that adding salt to meals makes people enjoy their food more, Time magazine reported.
Scientists from Deakin University in Australia asked healthy people to eat the same food for lunch for four weeks. The amount of salt in the food was changed each week. At the same time, the scientists measured how much these people ate. They also asked the people how they felt about the meals; for example, if they felt happy or were still hungry after eating.
The results showed that salt made people eat 11 percent more food and calories. When eating low-salt meals, they had better control (控制) over how much they ate. “But when we add salt to that food, all of a sudden those controls are gone,” researcher Russell Keast said to Time.
34. What can we learn about the neurons from the passage?
A. They make a hormone active when bodies lack sodium.
B. They keep telling the body to get more sugar from food.
C. The need of sodium starts the activities of some neurons.
D. One can’t stop eating chips because he lacks the neurons.
35. As Time magazine reported, ________.
A. adding more salt makes food delicious
B. less salt in food makes people happier
C. people control their weight by eating less food
D. people eat more when there is more salt in food
36. What is the writing purpose (目的) of the passage?
A. To share stories of salt history. B. To show facts from some studies.
C. To tell reasons of getting fat. D. To discuss ways of losing weight.
37. The following sentence would best be placed at the end of ________.
This may cause people to go on eating even if they are full.
A. Paragraph 1 B. Paragraph2 C. Paragraph3 D. Paragraph 4
【答案】34. C 35. D 36. B 37. A

【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲述了科学家关于神经元如何影响我们对盐的摄入的研究发现,包括神经元如何检测体内钠的缺乏,以及盐如何影响我们的食欲和食物摄入量。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“They found that when mice lack sodium, their body gives off a kind of hormone (激素) called aldosterone. This hormone then makes these neurons become active.”可知,当身体缺乏钠时,一种激素会使神经元变得活跃,也就是说钠的需求启动了一些神经元的活动。故选C。
【35题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第六段“The results showed that salt made people eat 11 percent more food and calories.”可知,据《时代》杂志报道,当食物中含有更多的盐时,人们会吃得更多。故选D。
【36题详解】
推理判断题。文章主要介绍了科学家关于神经元如何影响我们对盐的摄入的研究发现,包括实验过程和结果,所以文章的写作目的是展示一些研究的事实。故选B。
【37题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Once you begin to eat potato chips, you may keep eating until the bag is empty. Have you ever experienced this? Why can’t you stop eating these salty chips?”可知,一旦你开始吃薯片,你可能会一直吃,直到袋子空了。你经历过这样的事情吗?为什么你不能停止吃这些咸薯片?“This may cause people to go on eating even if they are full.”这句话表示“这可能会导致人们即使吃饱了也会继续吃”,放在第一段末尾,可以承接上文,解释为什么人们不能停止吃薯片。故选A。
