The evenings in Kiburn, north London, were due to include food and other elements from the Harry Potter books. However, Warner Bros, maker of the Harry Potter films, wrote to the club’s organizer “Ms Marmite Lover” warning that the parties would infringe (侵犯) its rights. The club will now hold two “Genetic Wizard nights” for Halloween. On her blog, Ms Marmite Lover explains that she researched and developed her menu with her Harry Potter-obsessed teenage daughter and a food writer. Guests would have to enter the venue, called the Underground Restaurant, through “Diagon Alley” and by giving a password-while a “Sorting Hat” would decide the seating plan. After Warner Bros learned about the ticketed (被加标签) event, it wrote to Ms Marmite Lover saying: “While we are delighted that you are such a fan of the Harry Potter series, unfortunately your proposed use of the Harry Potter Properties without our permission would amount to an infringement of Warner’s rights.” The letter added: “Warner does not, of course, object to you holding a Genetic Wizard Halloween night at the Underground Restaurant.” Ms Marmite Lover suggested in her blog: “JK Rowling herself, having at one time been a struggling single parent, and having donated to the National Council for one Patent Families, would probably approve of a single mother being entrepreneurial (企业家的) and creative”. The Underground Restaurant usually charges diners about 20-30 each, except alcohol. Warner Bros says it has guidelines to help Harry Potter fans run non-profit and charitable events true to the spirit of the stories. The vast majority of non-commercial events are able to go ahead with the studio’s support, it says. 41．Mr. Marmite Lover had to change their name because ______. A．the use of the name infringed Warner’s rights B．JK Rowling didn’t approve of their doing so C．the Underground Restaurant charged too much D．they sold tickets to whoever attends the supper club 42．From the passage we know that Ms Marmite was ______. A．the researcher of Harry Potter films B．the maker of the Harry Potter films C．a cooking- book writer D．a single parent 43．The seventh paragraph told us that ______. A．Ms Marmite Lover was creative and she is good at cooking B．JK Rowling was sure to agree with what a creative woman did C．Ms Marmite Lover attempted to find excuse for what she had done D．JK Rowling suffered a lot before she published her novel series 44．We can infer from the passage that ______. A．“Sorting Hat” is the password to go through “Diagon Alley” B．Ms Marmite Lover was not pleased with Wamer Bros C．the charges that the guests pay for the dinner include alcohol D．Warner is a charity organization which helps the single mother. 45．The word “mother” in the seventh Paragraph refers to ______. A．J. K. Rowling B．the food writer C．Warner Bros D．Ms Marmite 【答案】41．A 42．D 43．C 44．B 45．D 【导语】本文体裁为新闻报道。文章报道了一位女性在自己家中经营的晚餐俱乐部计划举办“哈利·波特之夜”活动，但因华纳兄弟电影公司的警告而不得不更改活动名称的事件。 41．细节理解题。由文章第二段中“However, Warner Bros, maker of the Harry Potter films, wrote to the club’s organizer “Ms Marmite Lover” warning that the parties would infringe (侵犯) its rights. (然而，《哈利·波特》电影的制作方华纳兄弟致信该俱乐部的组织者“马麦特·洛弗女士”，警告称这些人将侵犯其权利。)”可知，华纳兄弟电影公司警告说，该活动将侵犯其权利，因此Mr. Marmite Lover不得不改变名字。故选A。 42．推理判断题。由文章第七段“Ms Marmite Lover suggested in her blog: “JK Rowling herself, having at one time been a struggling single parent, and having donated to the National Council for one Patent Families, would probably approve of a single mother being entrepreneurial (企业家的) and creative”. (马麦特·洛弗女士在她的博客中表示：“J.K.罗琳自己曾是一位苦苦挣扎的单亲母亲，并向全国专利家庭委员会捐款，她可能会赞同单身母亲具有创业精神和创造力。”)”可知，马麦特·洛弗女士在她的博客中提到，J.K.罗琳可能会赞同单身母亲具有创业精神和创造力，因此可以推断出马麦特·洛弗女士也是一个单亲妈妈。故选D。 43．推理判断题。由文章第七段“Ms Marmite Lover suggested in her blog: “JK Rowling herself, having at one time been a struggling single parent, and having donated to the National Council for one Patent Families, would probably approve of a single mother being entrepreneurial (企业家的) and creative”. (马麦特·洛弗女士在她的博客中表示：“JK Rowling自己曾是一位苦苦挣扎的单亲母亲，并向全国专利家庭委员会捐款，她可能会赞同单身母亲具有创业精神和创造力。”)”可知，马麦特·洛弗女士在她的博客中暗示，J.K.罗琳可能会赞同一个单亲妈妈具有企业精神和创造力，因此可以推断出马麦特·洛弗女士是在为自己所做的事情找借口。故选C。 44．推理判断题。由文章第七段“Ms Marmite Lover suggested in her blog: “JK Rowling herself, having at one time been a struggling single parent, and having donated to the National Council for one Patent Families, would probably approve of a single mother being entrepreneurial (企业家的) and creative”. (马麦特·洛弗女士在她的博客中表示：“JK Rowling自己曾是一位苦苦挣扎的单亲母亲，并向全国专利家庭委员会捐款，她可能会赞同单身母亲具有创业精神和创造力。”)”可知，马麦特·洛弗女士认为J.K.罗琳会同意一个单身母亲这样做的，说明她对华纳兄弟不满意。故选B。 45．词句猜测题。由文章第七段“Ms Marmite Lover suggested in her blog: “JK Rowling herself, having at one time been a struggling single parent, and having donated to the National Council for one Patent Families, would probably approve of a single mother being entrepreneurial (企业家的) and creative”. (马麦特·洛弗女士在她的博客中表示：“JK Rowling自己曾是一位苦苦挣扎的单亲母亲，并向全国专利家庭委员会捐款，她可能会赞同单身母亲具有创业精神和创造力。”)”可知，马麦特·洛弗女士在她的博客中提到的是J.K.罗琳曾经是一个努力的单亲妈妈，并且可能会赞同一个单亲妈妈具有企业精神和创造力，因此可以推断出mother指的是马麦特·洛弗女士自己。A. J. K. Rowling J.K.罗琳；B. the food writer美食作家；C. Warner Bros华纳兄弟；D. Ms Marmite马麦特女士。故选D。 C In recent years, a growing body of research has shown that our appetite and food intake are influenced by a large number of factors besides our biological need for energy, including our eating environment and our perception（感知） of the food in front of us. Studies have shown, for instance, that eating in front of the TV (or a similar distraction) can increase both hunger and the amount of food consumed. Even simple visual clues, like plate size and lighting, have been shown to affect portion size and consumption. A new study suggested that our short-term memory also may play a role in appetite. Several hours after a meal, people's hunger levels were predicted not by how much they’d eaten but rather by how much food they'd seen in front of them—in other words, how much they remembered eating. This disparity (新旧研究的差异）suggests the memory of our previous meal may have a bigger influence on our appetite than the actual size of the meal, says Jeffrey M. Brunstrom, a professor of experimental psychology at the University of Bristol. "Hunger isn't controlled individually by the physical characteristics of a recent meal. We have identified an independent role for memory for that meal，" Brunstrom says. "This shows that the relationship between hunger and food intake is more complex than we thought." These findings echo earlier research that suggests our perception of food can sometimes trick our body’s response to the food itself. In a 2011 study, for instance, people who drank the same 380-calorie milkshake on two separate occasions produced different levels of hunger-related hormones （荷尔蒙），depending on whether the shake’s label said it contained 620 or 140 calories. Moreover, the participants reported feeling more full when they thought they'd consumed a higher-calorie shake. What does this mean for our eating habits? Although it hardly seems practical to trick ourselves into eating less, the new findings do highlight the benefits of focusing on our food and avoiding TV and multitasking while eating. The so-called mindful-eating strategies can fight distractions and help us control our appetite, Brunstrom says. 46．What is said to be a factor affecting our appetite and food intake? A．How we feel the food we eat. B．When we eat our meals. C．What element the food contains. D．How fast we eat our meals. 47．What would happen at meal time if you remembered eating a lot in the previous meal? A．You would probably be more particular about food. B．You would not feel like eating the same food. C．You would have a good appetite. D．You would not feel so hungry. 48．What do we learn from the 2011 study? A．Food labels may mislead consumers in their purchases. B．Food labels may influence our body’s response to food. C．Hunger levels depend on one's consumption of calories. D．People tend to take in a lot more calories than necessary. 49．What does Brunstrom suggest we do to control our appetite? A．Trick ourselves into eating less. B．Choose food with fewer calories. C．Concentrate on food while eating. D．Pick dishes of the right size. 50．What is the main idea of the passage? A．Eating distractions often affect our food digestion. B．Psychological factors influence our hunger levels. C．Our food intake is determined by our biological needs. D．Good eating habits will contribute to our health. 【答案】46．A 47．D 48．B 49．C 50．B 【分析】本文属于科普文，阐述人们的食欲和食物摄取受到包括环境和对食物的认知等诸多因素的影响。 46．事实细节题。根据第一段In recent years, a growing body of research has shown that our appetite and food intake are influenced by a large number of factors besides our biological need for energy, including our eating environment and our perception（感知） of the food in front of us.可知，文章开篇指出了人们的食欲 和食物摄取受到诸多因素的影响，包括人们的饮 食环境和对面前食物的认知,故答案为A。 47．推理判断题。根据第三段第二句Several hours after a meal, people's hunger levels were predicted not by how much they’d eaten but rather by how much food they'd seen in front of them—in other words, how much they remembered eating.可知,饭后几小时,决定人们饥饿程度的不是他们已食用的食物量，而是他们吃饭时面前所见到的食物量,也就是说,影响人们饥饿程度的是他们记忆中的食物量而不是胃里的食物量。由此可推断,记忆对饮食造成影 响，如果记忆中上顿饭吃了很多,那么不管是不是 真的吃了很多,都不会感觉太饿,故答案为D。 48．细节归纳题。根据第六段第二句In a 2011 study, for instance, people who drank the same 380-calorie milkshake on two separate occasions produced different levels of hunger-related hormones （荷尔蒙），depending on whether the shake’s label said it contained 620 or 140 calories.可知，详细描述了 2011年 的一项研究。在研究中，参与者在两个不同场合 食用了相同卡路里的奶昔，但是奶昔标签上分别 标注了 620卡路里和140卡路里,结果显示,根据 标注的中路里含量,参与者分泌了不同水平的与 饥饿相关的荷尔蒙，而且当食用了标注620卡路 里的奶昔时,他们感觉更饱。实际上两份奶昔的 卡路里含量是相同的，由于标签标注的不同,让人产生自我暗示,使人体对食物产生了不同的反应。 故答案为B。 49．细节归纳题。根据最后一段The so-called mindful-eating strategies can fight distractions and help us control our appetite, Brunstrom says.可知，所谓的"用心饮 食"策略能够对抗干扰,帮助人们控制食欲。也就 是Brunstrom建议我们通过"用心饮食"策略控制 饮食用心饮食"和前文中提到的"专注于食物" 相照应,故答案为C。 50．主旨大意题。全文可分为三个部分,第一部分提出论点——人们的食欲和食物摄取受到包括环境和对食物的认知等诸多因素的影响。第二部分引用相关科学研究论证这些影响因素，特别 指出饮食环境、对食物的记忆、食物包装上的标签对人产生的心理暗示作用影响饮食。最后一部分提出通过专注饮食来控制食欲的建议。对食物及饮食环境的认知，对食物的记忆，食物标签产生的心理暗示等都属于心理因素,统观全文,作者一直围绕心理因素对食欲的影响展开论述，故答案 为B。 D When the German naturalist Alexander Humboldt arrived in South America in 1799, one thing astonished him. “Look at the flowers and the birds, ” he wrote. “Even the crayfish are blue and yellow.” Gradually, Humboldt’s thoughts developed and changed into an informal guess that organisms in equatorial (赤道的) areas are more colourful than those near the poles. In a new paper in Nature Ecology & Evolution, Chris Cooney, an evolutionary biologist at the University of Sheffield, and his colleagues offer what they call the most comprehensive (全面的) examination of this guess to date, indicating that it does apply to birds known as passerines, a family of songbirds. Over several years, Dr Cooney’s team photographed 4, 527 birds from Britain’s Natural History Museum’s data — representing roughly half the total bird diversity on Earth. As passerine birds are sensitive and visible to UV light (紫外光), they see more colours than humans. The researchers, therefore, took pictures under UV light to get true bird’s-eye views. A machine-learning method was then used to identify the colours of the feathers at hundreds of points on each sample. The total number of colours found on each bird was then mapped onto the geographic distribution of their parent species. The researchers used this data to study how colourful different regions of the world were. The key factor here was the diversity of colours on individual birds. Equatorial birds, the researchers concluded, were indeed more colourful than their cousins in temperate (温带的) regions. The birds sampled at the equator had, on average, about 90 different colours, while birds at 60 degrees latitude (纬度) had about 70 colours. Over the decades, many explanations for tropical colourfulness have been put forward. Some have guessed that warmer climates make more resources available to the creatures here, allowing them to spend energy developments (装饰品). Others have pointed out that the bright colours may arise from chemical compounds (化合物) in their diet, or make it possible for breeding (繁殖) pairs to detect one another in the darker environment of a tropical forest floor. 51．What surprised Humboldt when he arrived in South America? A．The breathtaking scenery. B．The diversity of creatures. C．The rich colours of the organisms. D．The extremely hot temperature. 52．What did Cooney’s team intend to do? A．To study why passerine birds are sensitive to UV light. B．To test whether creatures in equatorial areas are more colourful. C．To figure out how passerine birds are distributed in the world. D．To discover whether the colour diversity is related to the species diversity. 53．Which of the following might Cooney agree with? A．Bright colours contribute to the survival of birds. B．Colourfulness shows the evolution of birds. C．Colourfulness changes with latitude. D．Bright colours are associated with birds’ sharp vision. 54．Which aspect of tropical colourfulness does the last paragraph focus on? A．Its causes. B．Its influence. C．Its importance. D．Its discovery. 55．What’s the best title for the text? A．The colourfulness of a region depends on its bird species. B．The more resources a region has, the more colourful it is. C．A new way has been put forward to test the colourfulness of a region. D．The closer the birds live to the equator, the more colourful they are. 【答案】51．C 52．B 53．C 54．A 55．D 【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了科学家对赤道地区生物色彩更为丰富这一猜想的全面研究，并通过研究证实了赤道地区的鸟类确实比温带地区的鸟类色彩更为丰富。 51．细节理解题。根据第一段“When the German naturalist Alexander Humboldt arrived in South America in 1799, one thing astonished him. “Look at the flowers and the birds, ” he wrote. “Even the crayfish are blue and yellow.” (当德国博物学家Alexander Humboldt于1799年抵达南美时，有一件事令他震惊。“看看那些花儿和鸟儿，”他写道。“连小龙虾都是蓝色和黄色的。”)”可知，当Humboldt到达南美洲时，生物体的丰富色彩让他感到惊讶。故选C项。 52．细节理解题。根据第二段“Gradually, Humboldt’s thoughts developed and changed into an informal guess that organisms in equatorial areas are more colourful than those near the poles. (渐渐地，Humboldt的想法发展并变成了一种非正式的猜测，即赤道地区的生物比两极附近的生物色彩更丰富)”以及第三段“In a new paper in Nature Ecology & Evolution, Chris Cooney, an evolutionary biologist at the University of Sheffield, and his colleagues offer what they call the most comprehensive examination of this guess to date, indicating that it does apply to birds known as passerines, a family of songbirds. (谢菲尔德大学的进化生物学家Chris Cooney和他的同事们在《自然生态与进化》杂志上发表了一篇新论文中，对这一猜测进行了迄今为止最全面的检验，表明这一猜测确实适用于雀鸟（一种鸣禽）)”可知，Cooney的团队打算测试赤道地区的生物是否色彩更丰富。故选B项。 53．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Equatorial birds, the researchers concluded, were indeed more colourful than their cousins in temperate regions. The birds sampled at the equator had, on average, about 90 different colours, while birds at 60 degrees latitude had about 70 colours. (研究人员得出结论，赤道地区的鸟类确实比温带地区的鸟类颜色更丰富。在赤道取样的鸟类平均有大约90种不同的颜色，而在纬度60度取样的鸟类有大约70种颜色)”可知，Cooney可能会同意色彩随着纬度的变化而变化。故选C项。 54．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Over the decades, many explanations for tropical colourfulness have been put forward. Some have guessed that warmer climates make more resources available to the creatures here, allowing them to spend energy developments. Others have pointed out that the bright colours may arise from chemical compounds in their diet, or make it possible for breeding pairs to detect one another in the darker environment of a tropical forest floor. (几十年来，人们提出了许多关于热带色彩的解释。一些人猜测，温暖的气候为这里的生物提供了更多的资源，使它们能够消耗能量。另一些人指出，鲜艳的颜色可能来自它们饮食中的化合物，或者是为了让交配对在热带森林地面较暗的环境中发现彼此)”可知，最后一段关注的是热带色彩丰富的原因。故选A项。 55．主旨大意题。根据第二段“Gradually, Humboldt’s thoughts developed and changed into an informal guess that organisms in equatorial areas are more colourful than those near the poles. (渐渐地，Humboldt的想法发展并变成了一种非正式的猜测，即赤道地区的生物比两极附近的生物色彩更丰富)”以及纵观全文可知，文章主要介绍了科学家对赤道地区生物色彩更为丰富这一猜想的全面研究，所以D项“这些鸟越靠近赤道，它们的颜色就越鲜艳”是本文最好的标题。故选D项。 第二部分:写作(共两节，满分35分) 第一节：阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读下面短文，并根据短文内容完成下列各题。 Saving money is easy when you don’t have anything else to spend it on, but what should we do when things pop up that demand some of your hard-earned cash? These are called expenses. Chances are that most of your basic living expenses — food, shelter, clothing, medical care — are covered by your family. But perhaps you and your family have agreed that you’ll pay for certain other expenses out of your own money, such as cell phone minutes, after-school snacks, clothing and small jewelry, or club dues. Expenses that happen regularly, like every week or month, are called “fixed” expenses. The good news is that you know when these expenses are coming, and you can plan for them. But life is full of surprises, and sometimes these surprises turn into expenses, too. You might have an emergency like fixing a flat tire on your bike, or just something unusual like the class trip. These are called “unexpected” expenses — and if you’re smart with your money, you’ll plan for these as well. Here’s a secret when it comes to saving money: if you think of it as a regular expense, it’ll be easier to put a certain amount aside. Tell yourself that the $20.00 you’re trying to save up every month is something you absolutely must do, and there’s no getting around it. Can you think of any unexpected expenses that you had in the past or you might have in the near future? In this case, you should track your cash flow by creating a cash flow journal in a notebook. That means you keep a record of every amount you earn, spend, and save. Thus we can have a clear idea about our earnings, expenses and savings. And then we can enjoy a sound sleep without any worry. 56．What does the underlined phrase “pop up” in the first paragraph mean in English? (no more than 5 words) 57．How many types does the writer divide expenses into? What are they? (no more than 10 words) 58．What’s Paragraph 4 mainly about? (no more than 8 words) 59．For what purpose do we create a cash flow journal? (no more than 12 words) 60．What is your own way to solve the problem with unexpected expenses? (no more than 20 words) 【答案】56．Appear suddenly/Occur suddenly/Happen suddenly. 57．Two. Fixed expenses and unexpected expenses. 58．A secret to save money./How to save money. 59．To know clearly about our earnings, expenses and savings. 60．To solve the problem with unexpected expenses I always try to set aside a fixed amount of money. 【导语】本文属于说明文，文章主要向我们描述了日常生活中的费用所花费的地方，如生活费用、固定费用、意外费用等。 56．考查词句猜测。根据文章第一段“Saving money is easy when you don’t have anything else to spend it on, but what should we do when things pop up that demand some of your hard-earned cash? These are called expenses.(当你没有其他东西可以花的时候，省钱很容易，但当需要你辛苦赚来的钱的事情pop up时，我们该怎么办？这些被称为费用)”可知此处的需要花我们血汗钱的事情是一些没有预料到的事情，即突然出现的事情，所以划线词pop up的意思是Appear suddenly/Occur suddenly/Happen suddenly，故答案为Appear suddenly/Occur suddenly/Happen suddenly. 57．考查细节理解。根据文章第三段“Expenses that happen regularly, like every week or month, are called “fixed” expenses. (每周或每月定期发生的费用称为“固定”费用)”以及“You might have an emergency like fixing a flat tire on your bike, or just something unusual like the class trip. These are called “unexpected” expenses — and if you’re smart with your money, you’ll plan for these as well.(你可能会遇到紧急情况，比如修理自行车爆胎，或者只是一些不寻常的事情，比如课堂旅行。这些被称为“意外”开支——如果你对钱很精明，你也会为这些开支做好计划)”可知作者将费用分成了两类，即固定费用和意外费用。故答案为Two. Fixed expenses and unexpected expenses. 58．考查主旨大意。根据文章第四段“Here’s a secret when it comes to saving money: if you think of it as a regular expense, it’ll be easier to put a certain amount aside.(说到省钱，这里有一个秘密：如果你把它看作是一笔常规费用，那么节省一定数额会更容易。)”可知第四段主要讨论的是如何省钱或者省钱的秘密，故答案为A secret to save money./How to save money. 59．考查细节理解。根据文章最后一段“That means you keep a record of every amount you earn, spend, and save. Thus we can have a clear idea about our earnings, expenses and savings. And then we can enjoy a sound sleep without any worry.(这意味着你要记录你赚的、花的、存的每一笔钱。因此，我们可以有一个清晰的概念，我们的收入，支出和储蓄。然后我们可以享受一个没有任何担心的好睡眠。)”可知创建一个现金日记账的目的是为了我们可以对自己的收入、开支和储蓄有一个清晰的概念，故答案为To know clearly about our earnings, expenses and savings. 60．考查开放答题。考生结合自身实际，言之有理即可，例如：为了解决意外开支的问题，我总是试着存一笔固定的钱。故答案为To solve the problem with unexpected expenses I always try to set aside a fixed amount of money. 第二节：书面表达（满分25分） 61．假设你是晨光中学的学生李津，通过交换生项目在英国某中学就读，校方为加强中英文化交流，将举办“中国工坊” 活动。该活动主题涉及中华美食、中国传统手工艺、中国书法和绘画，拟招募学生现场教授相关技能。请按照以下提示，写一封申请信： (1)申请参加本次活动； (2)阐述你对本次文化交流活动意义的理解； (3)结合个人兴趣和特长，说明拟教授何种技能，并阐述原因。 参考词汇：中国工坊 Chinese Workshop 中华美食 Chinese cuisine 手工艺 handicraft 书法 calligraphy 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 Sir/Madam, ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Sincerely yours, Li Jin 【答案】Dear Sir/Madam, I am Li Jin, an exchange student from China.

When I arrived,I found her 16 excitedly at the kitchen table, a chocolate cake and a box tied with orange ribbon in front of her. “Happy birthday!” she said, 17 at the box. “Open it.” As she knows me 18 than anyone, she’d gotten me exactly what I wanted recently--running clothes. I 19 her and thanked her. Then it was time to eat the cake. “Oh, so much 20 . It contains too many calories (热量),” I said, not really excited. “You’ ll run them off tomorrow,” Mom said. A friend with a parent suffering from 21 memory ever told me there was one day that 22 to him that his relationship with his father forever changed. For me, that day 23 two weeks later, when I drove for another 24 . That day, I came upon exactly the same 25 : my mom sitting at the table; a chocolate cake resting next to a 26 box tied with curly ribbon--green this time--the only 27 . “Happy birthday!” Mom said in excitement. I was totally 28 .  “What’s going on?” I asked. Mom smiled. “Can’t I celebrate my daughter’s birthday?” This was no 29 . This was real life. Suddenly, I realized that something was wrong with her memory. Since my mother clearly wanted to make me 30 , I pushed aside my sadness and fulfilled my role as a 31 daughter. Like last time,I put my arms around her, thanked her and 32 the clothes... I didn’t mention that we’d done all these almost half a 33 ago... Sometimes, Mom and I have the 34 conversation over 10 times a day. 35 ,I keep patient, because when I asked stupid questions repeatedly as a child, she never got angry with me. 16．A．cooking B．sitting C．singing D．lying 17．A．shouting B．running C．staring D．pointing 18．A．more B．later C．better D．less 19．A．paid B．hugged C．comforted D．ignored 20．A．cream B．love C．food D．time 21．A．increasing B．lasting C．failing D．passing 22．A．signaled B．added C．appealed D．contributed 23．A．ended B．came C．changed D．disappeared 24．A．memory B．birthday C．party D．visit 25．A．date B．idea C．scene D．kitchen 26．A．present B．cake C．cloth D．candle 27．A．color B．choice C．attraction D．difference 28．A．moved B．confused C．embarrassed D．excited 29．A．pleasure B．trouble C．trick D．end 30．A．happy B．shocked C．unregretful D．upset 31．A．friendly B．successful C．forgetful D．grateful 32．A．appreciated B．washed C．tore D．wrapped 33．A．year B．month C．week D．day 34．A．boring B．annoying C．only D．same 35．A．Therefore B．Instead C．However D．Moreover 第二部分：阅读理解（共20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 Discover it all at the Smithsonian!

B．a travel guide C．an advertisement D．a research report B A woman planning “Harry Potter night” at a supper club she runs at home has been forced to change their name after a warning from film studio Warner Bros (华纳兄弟). The evenings in Kiburn, north London, were due to include food and other elements from the Harry Potter books. However, Warner Bros, maker of the Harry Potter films, wrote to the club’s organizer “Ms Marmite Lover” warning that the parties would infringe (侵犯) its rights. The club will now hold two “Genetic Wizard nights” for Halloween. On her blog, Ms Marmite Lover explains that she researched and developed her menu with her Harry Potter-obsessed teenage daughter and a food writer. Guests would have to enter the venue, called the Underground Restaurant, through “Diagon Alley” and by giving a password-while a “Sorting Hat” would decide the seating plan. After Warner Bros learned about the ticketed (被加标签) event, it wrote to Ms Marmite Lover saying: “While we are delighted that you are such a fan of the Harry Potter series, unfortunately your proposed use of the Harry Potter Properties without our permission would amount to an infringement of Warner’s rights.” The letter added: “Warner does not, of course, object to you holding a Genetic Wizard Halloween night at the Underground Restaurant.” Ms Marmite Lover suggested in her blog: “JK Rowling herself, having at one time been a struggling single parent, and having donated to the National Council for one Patent Families, would probably approve of a single mother being entrepreneurial (企业家的) and creative”. The Underground Restaurant usually charges diners about 20-30 each, except alcohol. Warner Bros says it has guidelines to help Harry Potter fans run non-profit and charitable events true to the spirit of the stories. The vast majority of non-commercial events are able to go ahead with the studio’s support, it says. 41．Mr. Marmite Lover had to change their name because ______. A．the use of the name infringed Warner’s rights B．JK Rowling didn’t approve of their doing so C．the Underground Restaurant charged too much D．they sold tickets to whoever attends the supper club 42．From the passage we know that Ms Marmite was ______. A．the researcher of Harry Potter films B．the maker of the Harry Potter films C．a cooking- book writer D．a single parent 43．The seventh paragraph told us that ______. A．Ms Marmite Lover was creative and she is good at cooking B．JK Rowling was sure to agree with what a creative woman did C．Ms Marmite Lover attempted to find excuse for what she had done D．JK Rowling suffered a lot before she published her novel series 44．We can infer from the passage that ______. A．“Sorting Hat” is the password to go through “Diagon Alley” B．Ms Marmite Lover was not pleased with Wamer Bros C．the charges that the guests pay for the dinner include alcohol D．Warner is a charity organization which helps the single mother. 45．The word “mother” in the seventh Paragraph refers to ______. A．J. K. Rowling B．the food writer C．Warner Bros D．Ms Marmite C In recent years, a growing body of research has shown that our appetite and food intake are influenced by a large number of factors besides our biological need for energy, including our eating environment and our perception（感知） of the food in front of us. Studies have shown, for instance, that eating in front of the TV (or a similar distraction) can increase both hunger and the amount of food consumed. Even simple visual clues, like plate size and lighting, have been shown to affect portion size and consumption. A new study suggested that our short-term memory also may play a role in appetite. Several hours after a meal, people's hunger levels were predicted not by how much they’d eaten but rather by how much food they'd seen in front of them—in other words, how much they remembered eating. This disparity (新旧研究的差异）suggests the memory of our previous meal may have a bigger influence on our appetite than the actual size of the meal, says Jeffrey M. Brunstrom, a professor of experimental psychology at the University of Bristol. "Hunger isn't controlled individually by the physical characteristics of a recent meal. We have identified an independent role for memory for that meal，" Brunstrom says. "This shows that the relationship between hunger and food intake is more complex than we thought." These findings echo earlier research that suggests our perception of food can sometimes trick our body’s response to the food itself. In a 2011 study, for instance, people who drank the same 380-calorie milkshake on two separate occasions produced different levels of hunger-related hormones （荷尔蒙），depending on whether the shake’s label said it contained 620 or 140 calories. Moreover, the participants reported feeling more full when they thought they'd consumed a higher-calorie shake. What does this mean for our eating habits? Although it hardly seems practical to trick ourselves into eating less, the new findings do highlight the benefits of focusing on our food and avoiding TV and multitasking while eating. The so-called mindful-eating strategies can fight distractions and help us control our appetite, Brunstrom says. 46．What is said to be a factor affecting our appetite and food intake? A．How we feel the food we eat. B．When we eat our meals. C．What element the food contains. D．How fast we eat our meals. 47．What would happen at meal time if you remembered eating a lot in the previous meal? A．You would probably be more particular about food. B．You would not feel like eating the same food. C．You would have a good appetite. D．You would not feel so hungry. 48．What do we learn from the 2011 study? A．Food labels may mislead consumers in their purchases. B．Food labels may influence our body’s response to food. C．Hunger levels depend on one's consumption of calories. D．People tend to take in a lot more calories than necessary. 49．What does Brunstrom suggest we do to control our appetite? A．Trick ourselves into eating less. B．Choose food with fewer calories. C．Concentrate on food while eating. D．Pick dishes of the right size. 50．What is the main idea of the passage? A．Eating distractions often affect our food digestion. B．Psychological factors influence our hunger levels. C．Our food intake is determined by our biological needs. D．Good eating habits will contribute to our health. D When the German naturalist Alexander Humboldt arrived in South America in 1799, one thing astonished him. “Look at the flowers and the birds, ” he wrote. “Even the crayfish are blue and yellow.” Gradually, Humboldt’s thoughts developed and changed into an informal guess that organisms in equatorial (赤道的) areas are more colourful than those near the poles. In a new paper in Nature Ecology & Evolution, Chris Cooney, an evolutionary biologist at the University of Sheffield, and his colleagues offer what they call the most comprehensive (全面的) examination of this guess to date, indicating that it does apply to birds known as passerines, a family of songbirds. Over several years, Dr Cooney’s team photographed 4, 527 birds from Britain’s Natural History Museum’s data — representing roughly half the total bird diversity on Earth. As passerine birds are sensitive and visible to UV light (紫外光), they see more colours than humans. The researchers, therefore, took pictures under UV light to get true bird’s-eye views. A machine-learning method was then used to identify the colours of the feathers at hundreds of points on each sample. The total number of colours found on each bird was then mapped onto the geographic distribution of their parent species. The researchers used this data to study how colourful different regions of the world were. The key factor here was the diversity of colours on individual birds. Equatorial birds, the researchers concluded, were indeed more colourful than their cousins in temperate (温带的) regions. The birds sampled at the equator had, on average, about 90 different colours, while birds at 60 degrees latitude (纬度) had about 70 colours. Over the decades, many explanations for tropical colourfulness have been put forward. Some have guessed that warmer climates make more resources available to the creatures here, allowing them to spend energy developments (装饰品). Others have pointed out that the bright colours may arise from chemical compounds (化合物) in their diet, or make it possible for breeding (繁殖) pairs to detect one another in the darker environment of a tropical forest floor. 51．What surprised Humboldt when he arrived in South America? A．The breathtaking scenery. B．The diversity of creatures. C．The rich colours of the organisms. D．The extremely hot temperature. 52．What did Cooney’s team intend to do? A．To study why passerine birds are sensitive to UV light. B．To test whether creatures in equatorial areas are more colourful. C．To figure out how passerine birds are distributed in the world. D．To discover whether the colour diversity is related to the species diversity. 53．Which of the following might Cooney agree with? A．Bright colours contribute to the survival of birds. B．Colourfulness shows the evolution of birds. C．Colourfulness changes with latitude. D．Bright colours are associated with birds’ sharp vision. 54．Which aspect of tropical colourfulness does the last paragraph focus on? A．Its causes. B．Its influence. C．Its importance. D．Its discovery. 55．What’s the best title for the text? A．The colourfulness of a region depends on its bird species. B．The more resources a region has, the more colourful it is. C．A new way has been put forward to test the colourfulness of a region. D．The closer the birds live to the equator, the more colourful they are. 第二部分:写作(共两节，满分35分) 第一节：阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读下面短文，并根据短文内容完成下列各题。 Saving money is easy when you don’t have anything else to spend it on, but what should we do when things pop up that demand some of your hard-earned cash? These are called expenses. Chances are that most of your basic living expenses — food, shelter, clothing, medical care — are covered by your family. But perhaps you and your family have agreed that you’ll pay for certain other expenses out of your own money, such as cell phone minutes, after-school snacks, clothing and small jewelry, or club dues. Expenses that happen regularly, like every week or month, are called “fixed” expenses. The good news is that you know when these expenses are coming, and you can plan for them. But life is full of surprises, and sometimes these surprises turn into expenses, too. You might have an emergency like fixing a flat tire on your bike, or just something unusual like the class trip. These are called “unexpected” expenses — and if you’re smart with your money, you’ll plan for these as well. Here’s a secret when it comes to saving money: if you think of it as a regular expense, it’ll be easier to put a certain amount aside. Tell yourself that the $20.00 you’re trying to save up every month is something you absolutely must do, and there’s no getting around it. Can you think of any unexpected expenses that you had in the past or you might have in the near future? In this case, you should track your cash flow by creating a cash flow journal in a notebook. That means you keep a record of every amount you earn, spend, and save. Thus we can have a clear idea about our earnings, expenses and savings. And then we can enjoy a sound sleep without any worry. 56．What does the underlined phrase “pop up” in the first paragraph mean in English? (no more than 5 words) 57．How many types does the writer divide expenses into? What are they? (no more than 10 words) 58．What’s Paragraph 4 mainly about? (no more than 8 words) 59．For what purpose do we create a cash flow journal? (no more than 12 words) 60．What is your own way to solve the problem with unexpected expenses? (no more than 20 words) 第二节：书面表达（满分25分） 61．假设你是晨光中学的学生李津，通过交换生项目在英国某中学就读，校方为加强中英文化交流，将举办“中国工坊” 活动。该活动主题涉及中华美食、中国传统手工艺、中国书法和绘画，拟招募学生现场教授相关技能。请按照以下提示，写一封申请信： (1)申请参加本次活动； (2)阐述你对本次文化交流活动意义的理解； (3)结合个人兴趣和特长，说明拟教授何种技能，并阐述原因。 参考词汇：中国工坊 Chinese Workshop 中华美食 Chinese cuisine 手工艺 handicraft 书法 calligraphy 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 Sir/Madam, ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Sincerely yours, Li Jin 试卷第1页，共3页 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
