Dear Henry,
How was your vacation to Malaysia last week? Did you and your brother see anything special there? I’m in South Africa with my parents and my sister Laura now. It’s very hot here.
We’re staying in a camp, not far from Cape Town. Every day we wake up early and leave the camp at 6 a.m. Our guide, Tony, takes us to different places. Yesterday, he took us to a river. There were different kinds of animals there like elephants, lions, monkeys and giraffes. Before leaving, we saw something terrible. Four lions came out and started to run after a young giraffe. It soon fell down and the lions killed it. Laura kept her eyes closed all the time.
Tomorrow we’re going to see an African dance performance (表演). It’s going to be fun.
I plan (计划) to go home next Friday. See you soon.
Yours,
William

Everyone has good and bad habits. Two months ago, I hardly ever joined in any activities and I only liked to stay at home. To change my bad habits, I wanted to try out the 21/90 rule. According to some experts, habits form (形成) in 21 days. After 90 days, they can become a part of our lives.
First, I chose a habit to change—I don’t like to exercise. Next, I determined to run every day for 21 days. I usually got up at 7:30 a.m. So I made a plan—I would start running 15 minutes after I got up. I would run for 10 minutes at first and 30 minutes at the end. When everything was finally ready, I took action. I was excited to start my new habit. Although I didn’t run very fast, I wasn’t discouraged (泄气的). For the first few days, I developed my habit without a problem.
My feelings began to change after that. I looked and felt the same as before, so I wanted to give up. However, I didn’t, and I soon got a little better. Each time, I ran for longer, and I felt really good. I finished my plan successfully and ran for 30 minutes before the 21st day. I felt very happy. Now it’s time to run for 90 days.

(C)
After playing basketball or riding home from school you may feel very thirsty. A cold drink may be just the thing. But be careful about what you are drinking. Something that looks cool may not be good for your health.
There are plenty of “energy (能量) drinks” on the market. Most of them have beautiful colors and cool names. The lists on them tell you they are helpful to your health. Sounds great! But after a careful check, you may find that most energy drinks have lots of caffeine in them. These drinks are especially aimed at young people, busy people and sports players. Makers sometimes say their drinks make you better at sports and can keep you awake. But be careful not to drink too much.
Caffeine makes your heart beat fast. Because of this, the International Olympic Committee has limited its use. Caffeine in most energy drinks is at least as strong as that in a cup of coffee or tea. Possible health dangers have something to do with energy drinks. Just one box of energy drink can make you nervous, have difficulty in sleeping and can even cause heart problems. Scientists say that teenagers should be stopped from taking drinks with a lot of caffeine in them.
So we should stay away from energy drinks to keep healthy.

(C)
After playing basketball or riding home from school, you may feel very thirsty. A cold drink may be just the thing. But be careful about what you are drinking. Something that looks cool may not be good for your health.
There are plenty of “energy (能量) drinks” on the market. Most of them have beautiful colors and cool names. The lists on them tell you they are helpful to your health. Sounds great! But after a careful check, you may find that most energy drinks have lots of caffeine in them. These drinks are especially aimed at young people, busy people and sports players. Makers sometimes say their drinks make you better at sports and can keep you awake. But be careful not to drink too much.
Caffeine makes your heart beat fast. Because of this, the International Olympic Committee has limited its use. Caffeine in most energy drinks is at least as strong as that in a cup of coffee or tea. Possible health dangers have something to do with energy drinks. Just one box of energy drink can make you nervous, have difficulty in sleeping and can even cause heart problems. Scientists say that teenagers should be stopped from taking drinks with a lot of caffeine in them.
So we should stay away from energy drinks to keep healthy.

【解析】
【导语】本文主要探讨了不同性格的人对地点的偏好不同,并指出现代年轻人似乎比以前更宅了,但实际上他们只是更喜欢待在家里,文章建议年轻人多出门去结交真正的朋友。
【52题详解】
句意:我们可以从一些研究中发现一些有趣的结果。根据“We can…out some interesting results”可知,此处表示我们可以发现一些有趣的结果。固定短语find out,意为“找出;查明”。can是情态动词,后接动词原形。故填find。
【53题详解】
句意:安静的人喜欢去安静的地方,比如湖边或者图书馆。根据“Quiet people”以及“the side of a lake or a library”可知,湖边或者图书馆都是安静的地方。quiet“安静的”是形容词,修饰名词places。故填quiet。
【54题详解】
句意:但这些研究无法说明人们是否是因为性格才去这类地方的。根据“go to such places because of…personalities (性格)”可知,此处指代这些人的性格,应用形容词性物主代词修饰名词personalities。they“他们”是主格,其形容词性物主代词是their。故填their。
【55题详解】
句意:外向的人喜欢周围人多的地方,比如公园。根据“Outgoing people…like a park”可知,外向的人喜欢周围人多的地方。people是可数名词复数,many意为“许多”,符合语境。故填many。
【56题详解】
句意:事实上,研究表明这些人并不太在意自己去的地方。根据“care much…where they go”可知,外向的人并不太在意自己去的地方。固定短语care about,意为“在意;关心”。故填about。
【57题详解】
句意:他们只是想和别人待在一起聊天。根据“with others”以及“Outgoing people”可知,外向的人喜欢社交和交谈。want to后接动词原形,故空处填动词原形。talk with sb意为“和某人交谈”。故填talk。
【58题详解】
句意:然而,对很多年轻人来说,现在情况似乎有点不一样了。根据“However”以及“spend more time…at home than going outside”可知,现在年轻人的行为与前文提到的外向者喜欢出门的情况变得不一样了。seem是系动词,后接形容词作表语。difference是名词,其形容词形式是different“不同的”。故填different。
【59题详解】
句意:如今,他们中的很多人比起外出,更喜欢花更多时间待在家里。根据“spend more time”可知,此处表示花时间待在家里。固定句型spend time (in) doing sth,意为“花时间做某事”。stay意为“待着”,其动名词形式为staying。故填staying。
【60题详解】
句意:看起来现在外向的年轻人比以前少了,但事实并非如此。根据“spend more time…at home”可知,由于年轻人花更多时间待在家里,导致看起来外向的人变少了。few意为“少的”,符合语境。根据“than before”可知,此处应用比较级。故填fewer。
【61题详解】
句意:这能帮他们交到一些真正的朋友。根据“make some real…”以及上文“like to go to these places with friends”可知,多出门有助于结交朋友。make friends是固定短语,意为“交朋友”。some后接复数名词。故填friends。
第二节
阅读短文,根据语篇要求填空,使短文通顺、意思完整。每空限填一词。

【答案】62. at 63. are
64. as 65. What
66. Although##Though
【解析】
【导语】本文讲述了几个学生谈论他们喜欢观看的电视节目类型。
62题详解】
句意:我至少每个月看两次。此处是固定短语at least“至少”,故填at。
【63题详解】
句意:在才艺表演中,有很多有才华的人和精彩的表演。此处是there be句型,主语是复数,be动词用are。故填are。
【64题详解】
句意:我和他有相同的兴趣。此处是短语the same...as“和……一样”。故填as。
【65题详解】
句意:他喜欢哪种节目?根据“He likes watching the new”可知,问的是他喜欢看什么节目,应用what。故填What。
【66题详解】
句意:虽然他非常喜欢,但他只看不超过2小时。根据“he likes it a lot, he only watches it for no more than 2 hours.”可知,前后是转折让步关系,应用although或though引导让步状语从句。故填Although/Though。

【67题详解】
根据“did you watch the tennis game…?”以及“You know I’m a tennis fan (迷).”可知,作为网球迷肯定看了比赛,应用肯定回答。问句由did引导,回答用did。故填Yes, I did。
【68题详解】
根据“It’s really exciting.”可知,A因错过了比赛在询问比赛的情况或评价。故填How was the game。
【69题详解】
根据“Yes, it is an easy win with scores of 6:2 and 6:3.”可知,答语是Yes开头,且提到了“赢得轻松”,故问句应是关于比赛是否赢得轻松的一般疑问句。故填Was it an easy win。
【70题详解】
根据“I play tennis every day.”可知,此处询问动作的频率,应用How often提问。故填How often do you play tennis。
【71题详解】
