As we know, eating vegetables is good for us. Why do some people like them but others don’t? A new study has found that other people’s likes and dislikes could be a reason. According to the research, people who eat vegetables and show a clear dislike for them can influence others.
People may make facial expressions (面部表情) when eating. How does it influence a person watching them? A team of scientists in the UK did a study. They asked more than 200 young women to watch videos of other adults eating broccoli (西兰花). The people in the videos had different expressions while eating. They would smile, seem neutral (neither happy nor sad), or look disgusted.
The study found that when people in the videos look disgusted while eating broccoli, people watching them began to like broccoli less. The opposite was not true, however. When someone had a smile while eating broccoli, people watching them did not like broccoli more.
By watching others, humans learn which behaviors will be good for them. Scientists believe that people might avoid food that looks terrible. In this way, people can protect themselves from eating something bad or dangerous.
The research focused only on adults, but the team believe that the results could also work for children. This means, if children see their parents not enjoying certain foods, including vegetables, they might not want to eat them either.
How does the behavior of adults influence children’s choices of food? The team said they hope to understand more about it. This could help find ways to encourage children to eat more healthy foods.
26. What did the scientists ask the young women to do?
A. To eat broccoli themselves.
B. To cook broccoli for the study.
C. To watch videos of other adults eating broccoli.
D. To make facial expressions while eating broccoli.
27. What does the underlined word “disgusted” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Unhappy. B. Excited. C. Worried. D. Afraid.
28. What does the new study show?
A. People may prefer the food others like.
B. Children dislike eating certain vegetables.
C. Young women are easily influenced by others.
D. People may not choose the food others dislike.
29. Who could the results of the study also work for?
A. Adults. B. Children. C. Parents. D. Young women.
30. Which is the best title for the passage?
A. A Study on Facial Expressions B. Children’s Different Choices of Food
C. The Benefits of Eating Broccoli D. A Study on Vegetables Likes and Dislikes
(C)
配对阅读,左栏中描述了五个人的困惑,右栏是七条相关的回应,请从右栏中为左栏的每个人选出可以解决其困惑的回应,并将答题卡上对应题目所选的选项涂黑。
____31____ I want to buy a new toy car. And I’m wondering how to tell my mom about that in a proper way.
____32____ My elder brother always orders me to do many things for him at home, and he never says thanks to me.
____33____ I always feel nervous in front of strangers Now I’m new in a middle school. I’m really worried that I can’t get on with others.
____34____ My cousin Lisa invited me to Water World, but I don’t want to go, because I’m afraid of water. What should I do?
____35____ I said to a cleaner this morning, “Tell me where the washroom is.” The cleaner answered coldly, “Over there.” Why did he say like that?
A.Usually it’s fun to play in Water World. But if you’re afraid of water, you can tell Lisa the truth. In order to make her happy, you can go there with her, but don’t play in water. It’s also great to watch others play in Water World.
B.It’s common for family members to help each other do things. However, it’s impolite to order others to do something. So you can tell your elder brother how you feel and ask him not to do that again politely.
C.In China, we like to say “toilet” or “washroom” in English. We don’t use “restroom” very often. When you say “restroom” very often, others may think it is a place to take a rest.
D.When we make a request, we should always be very polite. For example, you can say like this, “Mum, could you please buy me a toy?” Besides, you can explain why you want it.
E.If you are in a strange place, try to start small talk with greetings like “Good afternoon! I’m…” or “Hello, how is your day?” Also, remember to say “thanks” when someone offers you help.
F.When we ask for directions or some help, being polite is very important. It would be better if you ask like this, “Excuse me, could you tell me the way to the washroom?”
G.Nobody likes those who are impolite, even if they are your parents. If you don’t give up your bad habit of being impolite, your parents will be sad. So you should say sorry to your dad and tell him you will make a change.

Many young boys dream of flying into the sky. Li Zhenghan was one of them. Sadly, he didn’t pass the medical examination for pilot training in high school. But now, thanks to the toy bear in his hand, his childhood dream has partly come true.

Over the years, he kept learning and gained (收获) a lot of useful knowledge. Finally, Li felt the time was right. He shared his dream with some schoolmates. They all thought it was cool and joined him. They decided to send a toy bear in a lab coat into the sky.
As soon as they made the decision, Li and his team began working around the clock. It took them sixty days to prepare for the experiment (实验). The big day arrived in October. The team studied the terrain (地形), the weather and many other things. Finally, they decided to fly the bear in Northeastern China (Li’s hometown). After careful checks, they tied the toy to a helium balloon (氦气球). Slowly, the toy bear carried Li’s childhood dream into the sky! It finally reached a height of about 28,000 metres.
Li later posted a short video of the bear’s flight online. It got a lot of attention. His story may inspire (激励) many of you. When will you send your “bear” into the sky?

【导语】本文讲述了作者渴望拥有自己公寓并独居的心情。在大学第一年作者终于租到公寓,开始按照自己的喜好装饰和生活,但感到空虚。一次聚会后,这种感觉更加明显,直到家人意外来访举办惊喜派对,作者才意识到家的重要性,之后每周回家一次,体会到没有什么能比家更温暖。
【1题详解】
句意:我爱我的家庭,但是我真想要我自己的地方。
so所以;or或者;but但是。根据“I love my family”和“I really wanted my own place”可知,这里前后句意发生了转折。故选C。
【2题详解】
句意:我知道有一天我将会有我自己的地方。
couldn’t不可能;mustn’t禁止;would将会。分析句子结构,这是一个宾语从句,根据主句中“I knew”可知,主句使用一般过去时,从句也要使用相应的过去时态。“one day”表示将来的时间,所以这里要使用过去将来时,结构为would+动词原形。故选C。
【3题详解】
句意:当我开始上大学的第一年,我被允许租一套公寓。
was allowed被允许(一般过去时被动语态);allowed允许(一般过去时主动语态);is allowed(一般现在时被动语态)。分析句子可知,我和允许租公寓是被动关系,且根据前文的“started”,此处表示的是过去的事情。故选A。
【4题详解】
句意:我父母问我下一步做什么。
what什么;whether是否;why为什么。分析句子可知,此句为宾语从句,缺少do后的宾语,whether和why不能充当宾语成分,且不符合句意。故选A。
【5题详解】
句意:所以我打电话叫了一些朋友过来开派对。
have举行(原形);to have举行(不定式);having举行(动名词)。根据空前“I called some friends”可知,我打电话叫朋友来是为了开派对,动词不定式可以表示目的。故选B。
【6题详解】
句意:聚会结束后,我感觉比以前更好了。
good好的;better更好的;best最好的。根据空后“than before”可知,是过去和现在对比,要用比较级。故选B。
【7题详解】
句意:当我坐在沙发上思考时,门铃响了。
will sit将坐(一般将来时);am sitting正在坐(现在进行时);was sitting正在坐(过去进行时)。根据空后“the doorbell rang”可知,从句时态为过去进行时。故选C。
【8题详解】
句意:我是多么高兴啊!
How多么;What多么;What a多么。分析句子结构再根据感叹句句型:How+ adj.+主语+谓语!可知,此处要用How引导。故选A。
9题详解】
句意:他们带来了食物和饮料并且我们玩得很开心。
a一个;an一个;the表特指。have a good time表示玩得开心,过得愉快,是固定短语。故选A。
【10题详解】
句意:那次聚会后,我每周去我家一次,因为我知道没有一个地方像家一样。
behind在……之后;about关于;like像。根据“I visited my family once a week”可知,因为没有地方像家一样,所以才每周回家一次。故选C。

As we know, eating vegetables is good for us. Why do some people like them but others don’t? A new study has found that other people’s likes and dislikes could be a reason. According to the research, people who eat vegetables and show a clear dislike for them can influence others.
People may make facial expressions (面部表情) when eating. How does it influence a person watching them? A team of scientists in the UK did a study. They asked more than 200 young women to watch videos of other adults eating broccoli (西兰花). The people in the videos had different expressions while eating. They would smile, seem neutral (neither happy nor sad), or look disgusted.
The study found that when people in the videos look disgusted while eating broccoli, people watching them began to like broccoli less. The opposite was not true, however. When someone had a smile while eating broccoli, people watching them did not like broccoli more.
By watching others, humans learn which behaviors will be good for them. Scientists believe that people might avoid food that looks terrible. In this way, people can protect themselves from eating something bad or dangerous.
The research focused only on adults, but the team believe that the results could also work for children. This means, if children see their parents not enjoying certain foods, including vegetables, they might not want to eat them either.
How does the behavior of adults influence children’s choices of food? The team said they hope to understand more about it. This could help find ways to encourage children to eat more healthy foods.
26. What did the scientists ask the young women to do?
A. To eat broccoli themselves.
B. To cook broccoli for the study.
C. To watch videos of other adults eating broccoli.
D. To make facial expressions while eating broccoli.
27. What does the underlined word “disgusted” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Unhappy. B. Excited. C. Worried. D. Afraid.
28. What does the new study show?
A. People may prefer the food others like.
B. Children dislike eating certain vegetables.
C. Young women are easily influenced by others.
D. People may not choose the food others dislike.
29. Who could the results of the study also work for?
A. Adults. B. Children. C. Parents. D. Young women.
30. Which is the best title for the passage?
A. A Study on Facial Expressions B. Children’s Different Choices of Food
C. The Benefits of Eating Broccoli D. A Study on Vegetables Likes and Dislikes
【答案】26. C 27. A 28. D 29. B 30. D
【解析】
【导语】本文主要讲述了一项研究表明,人们对蔬菜的喜好可能会受到他人的影响。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据“They asked more than 200 young women to watch videos of other adults eating broccoli (西兰花).”可知,科学家们要求这些年轻女性观看其他成人吃西兰花的视频。故选C。
【27题详解】

推理判断题。根据“The study found that when people in the videos look disgusted while eating broccoli, people watching them began to like broccoli less.”可知,研究发现,当视频中的人在吃西兰花时表现出厌恶的表情时,观看视频的人开始不喜欢西兰花。由此可知,人们可能不会选择其他人不喜欢的食物。故选D。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据“The research focused only on adults, but the team believe that the results could also work for children.”可知,研究结果也适用于孩子。故选B。
【30题详解】
最佳标题题。根据“A new study has found that other people’s likes and dislikes could be a reason. According to the research, people who eat vegetables and show a clear dislike for them can influence others.”及全文可知,本文主要讲述了一项研究表明,人们对蔬菜的喜好可能会受到他人的影响。因此最佳标题为“关于蔬菜喜好的一项研究”。故选D。

____31____ I want to buy a new toy car. And I’m wondering how to tell my mom about that in a proper way.
____32____ My elder brother always orders me to do many things for him at home, and he never says thanks to me.
____33____ I always feel nervous in front of strangers. Now I’m new in a middle school. I’m really worried that I can’t get on with others.
____34____ My cousin Lisa invited me to Water World, but I don’t want to go, because I’m afraid of water. What should I do?
____35____ I said to a cleaner this morning, “Tell me where the washroom is.” The cleaner answered coldly, “Over there.” Why did he say like that?
A.Usually it’s fun to play in Water World. But if you’re afraid of water, you can tell Lisa the truth. In order to make her happy, you can go there with her, but don’t play in water. It’s also great to watch others play in Water World.
B.It’s common for family members to help each other do things. However, it’s impolite to order others to do something. So you can tell your elder brother how you feel and ask him not to do that again politely.
C.In China, we like to say “toilet” or “washroom” in English. We don’t use “restroom” very often. When you say “restroom” very often, others may think it is a place to take a rest.
D.When we make a request, we should always be very polite. For example, you can say like this, “Mum, could you please buy me a toy?” Besides, you can explain why you want it.
E.If you are in a strange place, try to start small talk with greetings like “Good afternoon! I’m…” or “Hello, how is your day?” Also, remember to say “thanks” when someone offers you help.
F.When we ask for directions or some help, being polite is very important. It would be better if you ask like this, “Excuse me, could you tell me the way to the washroom?”
G.Nobody likes those who are impolite, even if they are your parents. If you don’t give up your bad habit of being impolite, your parents will be sad. So you should say sorry to your dad and tell him you will make a change.

Li is an engineering student now. The idea of sending a small toy into the sky came to him when he studied in high school. After seeing some similar experiments online, his dream came to life. Yes, Li could not fly himself, but he could make his toys fly.
Three years later, Li had just started college after graduating from high school. He didn’t know how to send anything into the sky. Over the years, he kept learning and gained (收获) a lot of useful knowledge. Finally, Li felt the time was right. He shared his dream with some schoolmates. They all thought it was cool and joined him. They decided to send a toy bear in a lab coat into the sky.
As soon as they made the decision, Li and his team began working around the clock. It took them sixty days to prepare for the experiment (实验). The big day arrived in October. The team studied the terrain (地形), the weather and many other things. Finally, they decided to fly the bear in Northeastern China (Li’s hometown). After careful checks, they tied the toy to a helium balloon (氦气球). Slowly, the toy bear carried Li’s childhood dream into the sky! It finally reached a height of about 28,000 metres.
Li later posted a short video of the bear’s flight online. It got a lot of attention. His story may inspire (激励) many of you. When will you send your “bear” into the sky?
