When I was 25, I dreamed of crown (皇冠). That was the summer I made the shortlist for a female novel prize. The winner was to be announced at a televised event. I was very excited and imagined myself on TV, A crown would be on my head. And then in August of that year, the prize was cancelled for some reason. I was disappointed but still full of hope.
To me, writing has always been an exciting act, especially the early moments of creation. This excitement inspired me through years of writing. I published several books, and my sense of achievement grew, yet I was also flooded with rejection letters. Several adult novels that I worked on for years came to nothing.
By the time I turned 40, these rejection letters began to eat away at my hope. I had always known that my books weren’t going to make me rich, but I couldn’t help feeling disappointed that my writing career hadn’t become something more. Actually, I worked less teaching hours, and sent my kids off to pre-school so I could write, but I felt so little had come from it. When my publisher stopped publishing books, sadness hung over me.
The following years were tough. I still wrote because I didn’t know what else to do. I stopped trying to believe that writing was going to support me financially and then an unexpected thing happened: writing became hopeful again. My younger dreams of being a famous writer have given way to more middle-aged satisfactions: the children who tell me they read my books and liked them, my students who say they saw me in a local magazine. Small things are a new kind of hope.
Recently, for my 50th birthday, I went to China with my friend. We were in a gift shop when a crown caught my eye. I bought it for myself, and wore it for my birthday party, just for fun.
4. What can be learned about the author from the first two paragraphs?
A She achieved a lot in adult novel. B. She took pride in being a YA writer.
C She attended a novel competition on TV. D. She got a crown as a prize for the winner.
5. According to paragraph 3, why did the author feel disappointed about her writing career?
A. Writing didn’t reward her with wealth. B. Writing took up too much of her time.
C. She made little advance in writing. D. She lost chances to teach her kids.
6. Why does the author mention the children and her students in paragraph 4?
A. To explain a new hope. B. To stress a good relationship.
C. To compare small things. D. To prove the popularity of her books.
7. The author bought herself a crown because .
A. she wanted to praise herself B. it represents Chinese culture
C. it would make her party special D. she has made peace with her dream
C
If you thought that your children’s academic (学业的) performance is based simply on the number of hours spent on studying, you are wrong. Good grades are a result of multiple factors, including everything from the children’s brains to the environment they are in. And one of the major, mostly ignored, influencing factors is physical health. Physical activity and health actually can improve a person’s ability to learn. According to the National Academy of Medicine, exercise can improve a child’s cognitive (认知的) abilities, health, and academic performance significantly.
According to a study by the University of British Columbia, regular aerobic exercise betters the functioning of the hippocampus (海马), the area of the brain involved in learning and memory. Other forms of exercise like balance exercises, muscle exercises, and resistance training do not have the same result on the brain.
The effect of exercise on memory and thinking is both direct and indirect. Directly, regular exercise gives the ability to increase the release of growth factors. These growth factors are chemicals in the brain that affect the growth of new blood vessels, the health of brain cells, as well as the survival of new brain cells. On the other hand, getting enough exercise will improve sleep quality and mood. It will also reduce stress and anxiety.
It is believed that the benefits of exercise during the school day are greater than those coming from increasing class time. Furthermore, the greatest cognitive benefits from physical education have been seen to come about when physical education was given either in the first half of the day or midday rather than at the end of the day.
In order to get the children moving, rest time, PE classes, biking or walking to school should be promoted. Activities like after-school sports that used to be held at school should be restarted. Physical activity should not be seen as a dispensable option but as an important educational concern.
8. What factor is often forgotten when it comes to good grades?
A. The children’s brains. B. Physical health.
C. A good environment. D. The hours spent on learning.
9. How does exercise influence thinking indirectly?
A. By affecting the survival of new brain cells. B. By releasing growth factors in large numbers.
C. By influencing the growth of new blood vessels. D. By improving a person’s mood and sleep quality.
10. What does the underlined word “dispensable” mean in the last paragraph?
A. Unusual. B. Unique. C. Unnecessary. D. Common.
11. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Mental health should never be ignored.
B. Physical education class is really a good option.
C. Exercise may bring about good academic grades.
D. Different exercises have different effects on the brain.
D
According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, about two billion people eat bugs, or insects, as part of their daily diet. That’s nearly a quarter of the global population, and yet most countries in Europe and North America, despite the nutritional and environmental benefits, are quite unwilling to eat bugs. So why should Westernized countries agree to include bugs in their daily diet?
Eating bugs as a replacement for larger farm animals could contribute greatly to a more sustainable (可持续的) world. Bugs have a high feed-to-product rate and use much less materials than traditional farm animals per pound. According to an article written by the former manager of the Toronto Food Policy Council, Wayne Roberts, “Eatable insects don’t appear on any endangered species lists, and their sustainable use could help protect other wildlife since the approach may contribute to habitat protection.”
The nutritional benefits of eating bugs can be important in fighting childhood deaths, and malnutrition (营养不良) rates. Monica Aiyeko of the Food and Agriculture department at Bondo University College has studied and published the effects of including native crickets into school meal programs in Kenya. Her studies have found that about 30% of Kenyan households are short of food, leading to wide-spread malnutrition among children, particularly under the age of 5. Putting bugs into school feeding programs could provide children with the necessary nutrients to prevent poor growth. Generally, bugs are extremely nutritionally beneficial, rich in protein, omega-3 fats and iron.
The popular Western opinion is best stated by New York Times writer Ligaya Mishan, “Europeans, and European settlers in North America, never had a bug-eating tradition. Indeed, we largely consider insects dirty and related to disease. This is a big misunderstanding that we need to clear up. All I want is a food cultural change, is that so much to ask?”
12. What can we learn from paragraph 2?
A. Endangered bugs taste less delicious.
B. Eating bugs can threaten other wildlife.
C. Bugs need less feed for the same production.
D. Bugs produce less using more materials.
13. What was the main focus of Aiyeko’s study?
A. The general health benefits of bugs.
B. The climbing malnutrition rates among Kenyan kids.
C. The problem of food safety in Kenyan households.
D. The benefits of having bugs in school meals in Kenya.
14. What is Mishan attitude towards bug-eating?
A. Doubtful. B. Favourable. C. Unclear. D. Indifferent.
15. Which is the best title for the passage?
A. Bugs: a Change in the Menu B. Bugs: an Unwanted Future Choice
C. Bugs: an Unseen Threat to the Crop D. Bugs: a Game-changer in Agriculture

When I was 25, I dreamed of crown (皇冠). That was the summer I made the shortlist for a female novel prize. The winner was to be announced at a televised event. I was very excited and imagined myself on TV, A crown would be on my head. And then in August of that year, the prize was cancelled for some reason. I was disappointed but still full of hope.
To me, writing has always been an exciting act, especially the early moments of creation. This excitement inspired me through years of writing. I published several books, and my sense of achievement grew, yet I was also flooded with rejection letters. Several adult novels that I worked on for years came to nothing.
By the time I turned 40, these rejection letters began to eat away at my hope. I had always known that my books weren’t going to make me rich, but I couldn’t help feeling disappointed that my writing career hadn’t become something more. Actually, I worked less teaching hours, and sent my kids off to pre-school so I could write, but I felt so little had come from it. When my publisher stopped publishing books, sadness hung over me.
The following years were tough. I still wrote because I didn’t know what else to do. I stopped trying to believe that writing was going to support me financially and then an unexpected thing happened: writing became hopeful again. My younger dreams of being a famous writer have given way to more middle-aged satisfactions: the children who tell me they read my books and liked them, my students who say they saw me in a local magazine. Small things are a new kind of hope.
Recently, for my 50th birthday, I went to China with my friend. We were in a gift shop when a crown caught my eye. I bought it for myself, and wore it for my birthday party, just for fun.
4. What can be learned about the author from the first two paragraphs?
A. She achieved a lot in adult novel. B. She took pride in being a YA writer.
C. She attended a novel competition on TV. D. She got a crown as a prize for the winner.
5. According to paragraph 3, why did the author feel disappointed about her writing career?
A. Writing didn’t reward her with wealth. B. Writing took up too much of her time.
C. She made little advance in writing. D. She lost chances to teach her kids.
6. Why does the author mention the children and her students in paragraph 4?
A. To explain a new hope. B. To stress a good relationship.
C. To compare small things. D. To prove the popularity of her books.
7. The author bought herself a crown because .

If you thought that your children’s academic (学业的) performance is based simply on the number of hours spent on studying, you are wrong. Good grades are a result of multiple factors, including everything from the children’s brains to the environment they are in. And one of the major, mostly ignored, influencing factors is physical health. Physical activity and health actually can improve a person’s ability to learn. According to the National Academy of Medicine, exercise can improve a child’s cognitive (认知的) abilities, health, and academic performance significantly.
According to a study by the University of British Columbia, regular aerobic exercise betters the functioning of the hippocampus (海马), the area of the brain involved in learning and memory. Other forms of exercise like balance exercises, muscle exercises, and resistance training do not have the same result on the brain.
The effect of exercise on memory and thinking is both direct and indirect. Directly, regular exercise gives the ability to increase the release of growth factors. These growth factors are chemicals in the brain that affect the growth of new blood vessels, the health of brain cells, as well as the survival of new brain cells. On the other hand, getting enough exercise will improve sleep quality and mood. It will also reduce stress and anxiety.
It is believed that the benefits of exercise during the school day are greater than those coming from increasing class time. Furthermore, the greatest cognitive benefits from physical education have been seen to come about when physical education was given either in the first half of the day or midday rather than at the end of the day.
In order to get the children moving, rest time, PE classes, biking or walking to school should be promoted. Activities like after-school sports that used to be held at school should be restarted. Physical activity should not be seen as a dispensable option but as an important educational concern.
8. What factor is often forgotten when it comes to good grades?
A. The children’s brains. B. Physical health.
C. A good environment. D. The hours spent on learning.
9. How does exercise influence thinking indirectly?
A. By affecting the survival of new brain cells. B. By releasing growth factors in large numbers.
C. By influencing the growth of new blood vessels. D. By improving a person’s mood and sleep quality.
10. What does the underlined word “dispensable” mean in the last paragraph?
A. Unusual. B. Unique. C. Unnecessary. D. Common.
11. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Mental health should never be ignored.
B. Physical education class is really a good option.
C. Exercise may bring about good academic grades.
D. Different exercises have different effects on the brain.
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. C 11. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了一项研究表明了体育锻炼对于孩子的学业表现有积极的影响。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“And one of the major, mostly ignored, influencing factor is physical health.(而其中一个主要的、往往被忽视的影响因素是身体健康)”可知,在考虑影响孩子的学业成绩的因素时,身体健康的重要性往往被忽视。故选B。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“The effect of exercise on memory and thinking is both direct and indirect.(运动对记忆和思维的影响既有直接的也有间接的)”以及“On the other hand, getting enough exercise will improve sleep quality and mood. It will also reduce stress and anxiety.(另一方面,得到足够的锻炼将改善睡眠质量和情绪。它也会减少压力和焦虑)”可知,锻炼的间接影响表现在改善睡眠质量和情绪。故选D。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据最后一段“but as an important educational concern(而是作为一个重要的教育问题)”并结合上文提到的体育锻炼对于提高学业成绩,加强记忆力,舒缓情绪等方面的好处可知,体育锻炼不是可有可无的,而是学校教育中非常重要的一环。故推知dispensable意为“没必要的”。故选C。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Physical activity and health actually can improve a person’s ability to learn. According to the National Academy of Medicine, exercise can improve a child’s cognitive (认知的) abilities, health, and academic performance significantly.(体育活动对健康的影响实际上能够提升一个人的学习能力。据美国国家医学科学院称,运动能够显著提高儿童的认知能力、健康状况以及学业成绩)”并结合后文介绍的体育锻炼在提高记忆力,思维能力,认知能力等方面的好处可知,本文主要介绍了体育锻炼有助于提高孩子的学业成绩。故选C。

According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, about two billion people eat bugs, or insects, as part of their daily diet. That’s nearly a quarter of the global population, and yet most countries in Europe and North America, despite the nutritional and environmental benefits, are quite unwilling to eat bugs. So why should Westernized countries agree to include bugs in their daily diet?
Eating bugs as a replacement for larger farm animals could contribute greatly to a more sustainable (可持续的) world. Bugs have a high feed-to-product rate and use much less materials than traditional farm animals per pound. According to an article written by the former manager of the Toronto Food Policy Council, Wayne Roberts, “Eatable insects don’t appear on any endangered species lists, and their sustainable use could help protect other wildlife since the approach may contribute to habitat protection.”
The nutritional benefits of eating bugs can be important in fighting childhood deaths, and malnutrition (营养不良) rates. Monica Aiyeko of the Food and Agriculture department at Bondo University College has studied and published the effects of including native crickets into school meal programs in Kenya. Her studies have found that about 30% of Kenyan households are short of food, leading to wide-spread malnutrition among children, particularly under the age of 5. Putting bugs into school feeding programs could provide children with the necessary nutrients to prevent poor growth. Generally, bugs are extremely nutritionally beneficial, rich in protein, omega-3 fats and iron.
The popular Western opinion is best stated by New York Times writer Ligaya Mishan, “Europeans, and European settlers in North America, never had a bug-eating tradition. Indeed, we largely consider insects dirty and related to disease. This is a big misunderstanding that we need to clear up. All I want is a food cultural change, is that so much to ask?”
12. What can we learn from paragraph 2?
A. Endangered bugs taste less delicious.
B. Eating bugs can threaten other wildlife.
C. Bugs need less feed for the same production.
D. Bugs produce less using more materials.
13. What was the main focus of Aiyeko’s study?
A. The general health benefits of bugs.
B. The climbing malnutrition rates among Kenyan kids.
C. The problem of food safety in Kenyan households.
D. The benefits of having bugs in school meals in Kenya.
14. What is Mishan attitude towards bug-eating?
A. Doubtful. B. Favourable. C. Unclear. D. Indifferent.
15. Which is the best title for the passage?
A. Bugs: a Change in the Menu B. Bugs: an Unwanted Future Choice
C. Bugs: an Unseen Threat to the Crop D. Bugs: a Game-changer in Agriculture
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了联合国粮农组织称20亿人日常食用昆虫,食用昆虫有营养和环境益处,西方因传统观念不愿吃,需改变饮食文化。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Bugs have an high feed-to-product rate and use much less materials than traditional farm animals per pound. (虫类的饲料转化率很高,而且每磅体重所消耗的材料比传统家畜要少得多)”可知,虫类在相同产量的情况下所需饲料更少。故选C。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Monica Aiyeko of the Food and Agriculture department at Bondo University College has studied and published the effects of including native crickets into school meal programs in Kenya. Her studies have found that about 30% of Kenyan households are short of food, leading to wide-spread malnutrition among children, particularly under the age of 5. Putting bugs into school feeding programs could provide children with the necessary nutrients to prevent poor growth. Generally, bugs are extremely nutritionally beneficial, rich in protein, omega-3 fats and iron. (邦多大学学院食品与农业系的莫妮卡·艾伊科耶研究并发表了有关在肯尼亚学校膳食计划中加入本土蟋蟀的效果的相关研究。她的研究发现,约30%的肯尼亚家庭存在食物短缺问题,导致儿童普遍营养不良,尤其是5岁以下的儿童。将昆虫纳入学校供餐计划能够为孩子们提供必要的营养,以防止生长不良。一般来说,昆虫具有极高的营养价值,富含蛋白质、欧米伽-3脂肪酸和铁)”可知,艾伊科的研究主要关注在肯尼亚的学校餐食中加入昆虫的益处。故选D。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“The popular Western opinion is best stated by New York Times writer Ligaya Mishan, “Europeans, and European settlers in North America, never had a bug-eating tradition. Indeed, we largely consider insects dirty and related to disease. This is a big misunderstanding that we need to clear up. All I want is a food cultural change, is that so much to ask?”(西方民众普遍的看法由《纽约时报》的撰稿人利加亚·米沙恩总结得最为恰当:“欧洲人以及在北美定居的欧洲人从未有过以昆虫为食的传统。实际上,我们普遍认为昆虫是肮脏的,并与疾病有关。这是一个我们需要澄清的重大误解。我所希望的只是饮食文化的转变,这难道要求太多吗?”)”可知,米沙恩说认为昆虫是肮脏的,并与疾病有关这样的看法是需要澄清的重大误解,希望食用昆虫是饮食文化的转变,因此推断对于吃虫子这件事持支持态度。故选B。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, about two billion people eat bugs, or insects, as part of their daily diet. That’s nearly a quarter of the global population, and yet most countries in Europe and North America, despite the nutritional and environmental benefits, are quite unwilling to eat bugs. So why should Westernized countries agree to include bugs in their daily diet? (据联合国粮食及农业组织的数据,约有 20 亿人将昆虫作为日常饮食的一部分。这占全球人口的近四分之一。然而,欧洲和北美大多数国家尽管认识到昆虫具有营养和环境方面的诸多益处,却仍然不太愿意食用昆虫。那么,西方化国家为何要同意将昆虫纳入其日常饮食呢?)”结合文章主要说明了联合国粮农组织称20亿人日常食用昆虫,食用昆虫有营养和环境益处,西方因传统观念不愿吃,需改变饮食文化。可推断,A选项“昆虫:菜单的改变”最符合文章标题。故选A。

【36题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:10月4日,我在杭州第19届亚运会上见证了日本战胜中国台北的女子软式网球决赛。此处为定语从句,先行词为the women’s soft tennis final,指抽象地点,在从句中作地点状语,用关系副词where。故填where。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:软式网球于1884年起源于日本,与普通网球不同,它使用软橡胶球,比硬质黄色球更耐用。此处为非谓语动词,Soft tennis与originate为主动关系,用现在分词originating作后置定语。故填originating。
【38题详解】
考查介词。句意:这使得比赛能够在不受中断的情况下持续更长时间。结合前文“软橡胶球更耐用”,可知比赛“没有中断”,用介词without,表“没有、无”。故填without。
【39题详解】
考查冠词。句意:经过一场激烈的比赛,日本队以2-1的微弱优势获胜。此处泛指“一场微弱的胜利”,narrow victory为可数名词单数,且narrow是以辅音音素开头的单词,用不定冠词a。故填a。
【40题详解】
考查代词。句意:球队教练堀幸大看着运动员们全力以赴,额头上汗珠闪闪发光,不禁鼓起掌来。此处为固定搭配“give one’s all”,意为“全力以赴”,用they的形容词性物主代词their,修饰all。故填their。
【41题详解】

【43题详解】
考查名词。句意:至于中国台北队,尽管遭遇失败和悲伤,他们的教练仍坚持自己的观点。此处与sadness并列,作介词despite的宾语,用fail的名词形式failure,意为“失败”,为不可数名词。故填failure。
【44题详解】
考查副词。句意:“有些人可能会因为没有赢得金牌而感到沮丧,但到目前为止,三年的训练教会我们的不仅仅是输赢。”此处修饰动词get,用possible的副词形式possibly,意为“可能地”。故填possibly。
【45题详解】
考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意:“有些人可能会因为没有赢得金牌而感到沮丧,但到目前为止,三年的训练教会我们的不仅仅是输赢。”此处为谓语动词,根据时间状语“so far”,强调从过去持续到现在的影响,用现在完成时;主语the training为单数,所以谓语动词为has taught。故填has taught。
