阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Your sleep position can determine a lot about your health, and can also affect your health in different ways.
It’s difficult to control what sleep position we naturally fall into, as our body will subconsciously fall into the most comfortable position. However, some positions are better for you than others, and some could actually hinder your health and wellbeing.
If you sleep on your side
More than 60 percent of people sleep on their side. This is mostly likely because it is one of the most comfortable sleep positions. Often our body naturally moves to this position, which is linked to when we were in the foetal (胎儿的) position.
Sleeping on your side offers a number of benefits to your body, from promoting healthy spine alignment, which can help to prevent back pain, to reducing heartburn and snoring. Side sleeping would be particularly beneficial for older people, those who snore or have sleep apnoea (呼吸暂停), those with back pain and pregnant women.
There are a few drawbacks to sleeping on your side, however. Those with shoulder pain and those who are worried about wrinkles should refrain from side sleeping.
If you sleep on your back
Lying on your back is the second most popular sleep position and offers just as many benefits as side sleeping.
When you’re sleeping on your back, your weight is evenly distributed, which helps prevent neck and back pain. Back sleeping would also be advised for those who want to keep their skin in good condition and those who suffer from neck and spinal pain.
However, back sleeping is the worst position if you snore or suffer from sleep apnoea. If you are a back sleeper, ensure you have a supportive pillow (枕头) which fits in the curve of your neck and supports your head and natural spinal curve.
If you sleep on your stomach
Sleeping on your stomach is the least common sleep position. There are more negatives to this position compared to positives.
The stomach offers the least amount of back support and can actually increase pressure on the spine which may cause pain once you wake up. Furthermore, those who sleep on their stomach will have their head facing one side, which may also cause a stiff neck upon waking.
Which sleep position is right for you?
Determining the right sleep position for yourself is personal preference. Regardless of which position you choose, make sure that you have a firm mattress and pillows. These will support the spine and neck, which is vital to prevent any pains in future.
16. According to the passage, sleeping on the side ________.
A. is the most comfortable sleep position B. may cure people of their shoulder pain
C. reminds people of the foetal position D. is good for those who snore
17. Those who want to keep their skin in good condition may prefer ________.
A. sleeping on their side B. sleeping on their back
C. pressing their face into the pillow D. having their head face one side
18 What can people learn from the passage?
A. How to judge sleep quality. B. How to evaluate one’s health.
C. How to develop good habits. D. How to choose sleep positions.

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
Flying
Ever since I was old enough to dream, I have imagined myself soaring with the eagles. My love of flying has shaped the way I live and the person I have become. Two years ago, that passion rocketed to new heights when I had the opportunity to visit Embry Riddle Aeronautical University in
Arizona. For a whole week I lived in a college dorm, roomed with a total stranger and---best of
all---I flew!
My group took part in activities ranging from learning about the history of aviation (航空) to
flying in state-of-the-art pilot training simulators (模拟装置). At least once a day, I devoted myself
to learning one of the world’s best training aircrafts, the Cessna 182. Not only did I receive thorough
ground instruction, but I also got to fly. In total, I flew five hours to receive my private pilot’s license.
In that one joyous and oh-so-short week, my passion for aviation grew even stronger. Now, whenever I see a plane flying overhead, I feel a sense of pride thinking I’ve done that.
During my time in and above the Arizona desert, I learned not only about the mechanics and
techniques of aviation, but also about myself and how I see the world. As I floated in that seemingly
endless sea of air, I became aware of the variety and complexity of the humanity below. On the
ribbons of roadways, each tiny car carried people with hopes and dreams. I wondered if any of those
people had ever wished to fly like an eagle. Then I realized that each must have his or her own
dreams and ambitions. That’s what makes us unique. We try to respond to something special inside
us. I also realized that I was especially fortunate to be making my own dream come true.
Everywhere I go, I hear, “Do what makes you happy and you will be happy.” It sounds like
standard advice, but I’ve really thought about it and taken it to heart. I couldn’t care less about how
much money I make or what benefits I receive. I know that I am already in hot pursuit(追逐) of my
dreams. And, even if they change, even if they finally don’t involve aviation, I’ll always aim to fly
with the eagles.
19. Two years ago, the author ___________.
A. was admitted to a university
B. stayed in a university for one week
C. saw the launch of the rocket
D. made good friends with an astronaut

21. According to the author, ________ makes people unique.
A. flying like an eagle
B. trying something special
C. having their own dreams
D. learning unusual techniques
22. From the last paragraph, we can learn that the author _________.
A. cares a lot about money and benefits

C
As digital devices have taken over society, “keyboard activity is now often recommended as a replacement for early handwriting,” a new study notes. The idea is that typing may be easier for young children.
The potential benefits of handwriting for learning and memory have been debated for some time. The new study set out to answer two questions. How does handwriting compare to using a keyboard or drawing when it comes to learning new information? And how similar are handwriting and drawing?
In all, 12 adults and 12 seventh-graders took part. Researchers asked each of them to write and draw with a digital pen. Each was also asked to type on a keyboard. While performing these tasks, each volunteer wore a cap that held electrodes (电极) next to their head. It looked somewhat like a hair net fitted with 256 sensors, which recorded the volunteers’ brainwaves, a type of electrical activity, as EEGs.
The electrodes noted which parts of the brain turned on during each task. And they showed that the brain activity was about the same in both the kids and the adults. Writing turned on memory areas in the brain. Typing didn’t. Drawing images and writing also turned on parts of the brain involved with learning. Writing even activated language areas.
This suggests, according to Van der Meer, the new study’s leader, that when we write by hand, “we both learn better and remember better.” Her team now suggests “that children, from an early age, must be exposed to handwriting and drawing activities in school.”
These new findings back up other studies showing potential benefits of handwriting, says Joshua Weiner, who was not involved with the new study. His own students type faster than they can write, he finds. Slowing down seems to require them to “think more” when taking notes, he says. He adds that this could “improve memory and enhance learning.” Weiner concludes that “writing may be beneficial” as it involves more of a “brain response”.
Van der Meer recognizes that learning to write by hand is a slower process. She is also aware that it requires fine motor skills. But, she adds, “If we don’t challenge our brain, it can’t reach its full potential.”
23. A cap was used in the experiment to ________.
A. give the volunteers instructions
B. record the volunteers’ every move
C. help the volunteers better focus on the task
D. keep track of the volunteers’ brain activity
24 What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A. The tools invented by the researchers. B. The background of the participants.
C. The process of the experiment. D. The application of the study.
25. What did the research team find?
A. Typing made the brain more active.
B. Writing turned on more areas in the brain.
C Drawing activated the area related to memory.
D. Adults could do better than kids in taking notes.
26. Which of the following would Van der Meer probably agree with?
A. Keyboards should be used as little as possible.
B. Requirements for hand-written notes will benefit kids.
C. The process of writing slows down the brain response.
D. Typing gives us a chance to improve memory and learning.
D
They may have text, email, Facebook and Twitter, but young people are still lonelier than any other age group. The Loneliness in New Zealand report, published by Statistics New Zealand, shows under 30s are more likely to feel lonely than older people because loneliness decreases with age. Loneliness and poor mental health were strongly related across all ages. Young people were not as likely to feel lonely because of financial hardship, but among older people, lack of money was a significant influence on loneliness. Women were more likely to feel lonely than men.
Philip Walker, spokesman for the General Social Survey, said because it was relatively new it was hard to know whether loneliness among young people was a new trend. But overseas research has found that levels of loneliness in youth today are growing.
Walker said the finding needed more exploration, including looking at the role of technology and social media. “It could be that people’s expectations of connection have gone up, so we expect increased levels of connection,” he said. “While technology like cell phones could help young people stay connected, on the other hand for those who do get bullied (欺辱), especially bullied online, it’s quite isolating. A lot of the time potentially it is a big contributor to loneliness.”
Figures from online dating website FindSomeone also confirmed more young people were looking for love. Manager Rick Davies, said younger dating hopefuls were the fastest growing group on the site.
Mr. Davies noted that since the report data was collected in 2010 there had been huge growth in smart phones, which meant people were online even more. He believed online tools, such as Skype, could help people stay connected. “People can keep in touch with a wide range of friends from all over the world much more easily now. It’s like you’re sitting in your living room having a chat with them.”
Bemardine Reid operations committee chairwoman for Samaritans, which operates a free helpline, said many of their calls came from people who were lonely. “It might be that they’ve got some problem, just like all the things people would normally talk to a friend about, but people who are alone lack those normal contacts.” (交流)
The Statistics New Zealand report also showed people who didn’t have face-to-face contact with family and friends were more likely to feel lonely, as were those who lived alone.
27. Which of the following may Mr. Walker agree with?
A. High technology may become a reason for loneliness.
B. People shouldn’t use the Internet to get to know strangers.
C. It’s hard for people to get enough connection online as expected.
D. Social media should play an important role in helping lonely people.
28. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.
A. FindSomeone is a website where you can find old friends
B. without technology, young people would not feel lonely
C. high technology results in the older being lonely
D. those cheated or hurt online tend to feel lonely
29. From the last two paragraphs, we can conclude that ________.
A. Internet can keep people free from loneliness
B. people chatting a lot online tend to be optimistic
C. people living alone tend to have more connection online
D. people communicating less in the real world risk loneliness
30. What is the best title of the passage?
A. Loneliness around You B. Young People Online
C. Young but Lonely D. E-times and Young People

In 1983, Howard Gardner, a professor at Harvard, published Frames of Mind: The Theory of Multiple Intelligences. In the book, he presented one type of intelligence that everyone must develop if they want to be successful. That is emotional intelligence.
Emotional intelligence refers to the ability to identify and regulate your own emotions. It means having a deep understanding of yourself knowing your own strengths and weaknesses, and handling reactions and emotions wisely. Emotional intelligence is critical for success in almost any field and it is especially important for high-stress environments, for example, when times are tough and when a person wants to quit or is fearful.
We all know highly emotional people. Rather than react wisely, they tend to let their emotions run their lives, often saying or doing something they may later regret. I’ve seen many people do this on social media, getting in arguments with loved ones over trivial stuff because they have different opinions. This inability to master the self leads to many struggles and heartaches for people.
Emotional intelligence does not mean being void (没有) of emotions. It means you know it is okay to be angry, just not out-of-control angry. You know it’s okay to feel hurt, but it is not okay to do something stupid in the name of revenge (报复). Many of us know people who are very intelligent, but allow their emotions to damage their lives.
Now, reflect on how you manage your emotions. Are you smart in the way you express what you’re feeling, especially when the pressure is on?
54. According to the passage, what is “emotional intelligence”?
55. How do highly emotional people deal with their emotions?
56. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
It’s important to keep your emotions under control, so when you get hurt, you should neither get angry nor do stupid things for revenge.
57. In your daily life, what can you do to better manage your emotions?
Ⅴ.书面表达(20分)

Ⅲ.阅读理解(共15小题;每小题2分,共30分)
阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Your sleep position can determine a lot about your health, and can also affect your health in different ways.
It’s difficult to control what sleep position we naturally fall into, as our body will subconsciously fall into the most comfortable position. However, some positions are better for you than others, and some could actually hinder your health and wellbeing.
If you sleep on your side
More than 60 percent of people sleep on their side. This is mostly likely because it is one of the most comfortable sleep positions. Often our body naturally moves to this position, which is linked to when we were in the foetal (胎儿的) position.
Sleeping on your side offers a number of benefits to your body, from promoting healthy spine alignment, which can help to prevent back pain, to reducing heartburn and snoring. Side sleeping would be particularly beneficial for older people, those who snore or have sleep apnoea (呼吸暂停), those with back pain and pregnant women.
There are a few drawbacks to sleeping on your side, however. Those with shoulder pain and those who are worried about wrinkles should refrain from side sleeping.
If you sleep on your back
Lying on your back is the second most popular sleep position and offers just as many benefits as side sleeping.
When you’re sleeping on your back, your weight is evenly distributed, which helps prevent neck and back pain. Back sleeping would also be advised for those who want to keep their skin in good condition and those who suffer from neck and spinal pain.
However, back sleeping is the worst position if you snore or suffer from sleep apnoea. If you are a back sleeper, ensure you have a supportive pillow (枕头) which fits in the curve of your neck and supports your head and natural spinal curve.
If you sleep on your stomach
Sleeping on your stomach is the least common sleep position. There are more negatives to this position compared to positives.
The stomach offers the least amount of back support and can actually increase pressure on the spine which may cause pain once you wake up. Furthermore, those who sleep on their stomach will have their head facing one side, which may also cause a stiff neck upon waking.
Which sleep position is right for you?
Determining the right sleep position for yourself is personal preference. Regardless of which position you choose, make sure that you have a firm mattress and pillows. These will support the spine and neck, which is vital to prevent any pains in future.
16. According to the passage, sleeping on the side ________.
A. is the most comfortable sleep position B. may cure people of their shoulder pain
C. reminds people of the foetal position D. is good for those who snore
17. Those who want to keep their skin in good condition may prefer ________.
A. sleeping on their side B. sleeping on their back
C. pressing their face into the pillow D. having their head face one side
18 What can people learn from the passage?
A. How to judge sleep quality. B. How to evaluate one’s health.
C. How to develop good habits. D. How to choose sleep positions.
【答案】16. D 17. B 18. D
【解析】
【导读】本文是一篇说明文。介绍了不同的睡眠姿势及其优缺点。
【16题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一题题干“sleeping on the side (侧身睡)”定位到文章第一个小标题处。再根据第四段“Side sleeping would be particularly beneficial for older people, those who snore or have sleep apnoea (呼吸暂停), those with back pain and pregnant women.(侧睡对老年人、打鼾或睡眠呼吸暂停患者、背痛患者和孕妇尤其有益。)”可知,侧睡对打鼾者有益。故选D项。
【17题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二题题干“keep their skin in good condition(保持皮肤良好状态)”定位到文章第七段,与“those who want to keep their skin in good condition(那些想要保持皮肤良好状态的人)”有对应关系,可知,想要皮肤状态好,要使用第二种仰卧姿势睡觉。故选B项。
【18题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Your sleep position can determine a lot about your health, and can also affect your health in different ways. (你的睡姿可以在很大程度上决定你的健康状况,也会以不同的方式影响你的健康。)”以及小标题“If you sleep on your side(如果你侧睡的话)”“If you sleep on your back(如果你仰着睡)”“If you sleep on your stomach(如果你趴着睡)”“Which sleep position is right for you?(哪种睡姿适合你?)”可知,这篇文章主要介绍了不同的睡眠姿势及其优缺点,我们可以从文中了解如何选择适合自己的睡觉姿势。故选D项。

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
Flying
Ever since I was old enough to dream, I have imagined myself soaring with the eagles. My love of flying has shaped the way I live and the person I have become. Two years ago, that passion rocketed to new heights when I had the opportunity to visit Embry Riddle Aeronautical University in
Arizona. For a whole week I lived in a college dorm, roomed with a total stranger and---best of
all---I flew!
My group took part in activities ranging from learning about the history of aviation (航空) to
flying in state-of-the-art pilot training simulators (模拟装置). At least once a day, I devoted myself
to learning one of the world’s best training aircrafts, the Cessna 182. Not only did I receive thorough
ground instruction, but I also got to fly. In total, I flew five hours to receive my private pilot’s license.
In that one joyous and oh-so-short week, my passion for aviation grew even stronger. Now, whenever I see a plane flying overhead, I feel a sense of pride thinking I’ve done that.
During my time in and above the Arizona desert, I learned not only about the mechanics and
techniques of aviation, but also about myself and how I see the world. As I floated in that seemingly
endless sea of air, I became aware of the variety and complexity of the humanity below. On the
ribbons of roadways, each tiny car carried people with hopes and dreams. I wondered if any of those
people had ever wished to fly like an eagle Then I realized that each must have his or her own
dreams and ambitions. That’s what makes us unique. We try to respond to something special inside
us. I also realized that I was especially fortunate to be making my own dream come true.
Everywhere I go, I hear, “Do what makes you happy and you will be happy.” It sounds like
standard advice, but I’ve really thought about it and taken it to heart. I couldn’t care less about how
much money I make or what benefits I receive. I know that I am already in hot pursuit(追逐) of my
dreams. And, even if they change, even if they finally don’t involve aviation, I’ll always aim to fly
with the eagles.

考点:考查记叙文阅读
C
As digital devices have taken over society, “keyboard activity is now often recommended as a replacement for early handwriting,” a new study notes. The idea is that typing may be easier for young children.
The potential benefits of handwriting for learning and memory have been debated for some time. The new study set out to answer two questions. How does handwriting compare to using a keyboard or drawing when it comes to learning new information? And how similar are handwriting and drawing?
In all, 12 adults and 12 seventh-graders took part. Researchers asked each of them to write and draw with a digital pen. Each was also asked to type on a keyboard. While performing these tasks, each volunteer wore a cap that held electrodes (电极) next to their head. It looked somewhat like a hair net fitted with 256 sensors, which recorded the volunteers’ brainwaves, a type of electrical activity, as EEGs.
The electrodes noted which parts of the brain turned on during each task. And they showed that the brain activity was about the same in both the kids and the adults. Writing turned on memory areas in the brain. Typing didn’t. Drawing images and writing also turned on parts of the brain involved with learning. Writing even activated language areas.
This suggests, according to Van der Meer, the new study’s leader, that when we write by hand, “we both learn better and remember better.” Her team now suggests “that children, from an early age, must be exposed to handwriting and drawing activities in school.”
These new findings back up other studies showing potential benefits of handwriting, says Joshua Weiner, who was not involved with the new study. His own students type faster than they can write, he finds. Slowing down seems to require them to “think more” when taking notes, he says. He adds that this could “improve memory and enhance learning.” Weiner concludes that “writing may be beneficial” as it involves more of a “brain response”.
Van der Meer recognizes that learning to write by hand is a slower process. She is also aware that it requires fine motor skills. But, she adds, “If we don’t challenge our brain, it can’t reach its full potential.”
23. A cap was used in the experiment to ________.
A. give the volunteers instructions
B. record the volunteers’ every move
C. help the volunteers better focus on the task
D. keep track of the volunteers’ brain activity
24. What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A. The tools invented by the researchers. B. The background of the participants.
C. The process of the experiment. D. The application of the study.
25. What did the research team find?
A. Typing made the brain more active.
B. Writing turned on more areas in the brain.
C. Drawing activated the area related to memory.
D Adults could do better than kids in taking notes.
26. Which of the following would Van der Meer probably agree with?
A. Keyboards should be used as little as possible.
B. Requirements for hand-written notes will benefit kids.
C. The process of writing slows down the brain response.
D. Typing gives us a chance to improve memory and learning.
【答案】23. D 24. C 25. B 26. B

【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“This suggests, according to Van der Meer, the new study’s leader, that when we write by hand, “we both learn better and remember better.” Her team now suggests “that children, from an early age, must be exposed to handwriting and drawing activities in school.”(这项新研究的负责人范德米尔表示,这表明,当我们手写时,“我们都能更好地学习和记忆。”她的团队现在建议“孩子们,从很小的时候起,就必须在学校接触书法和绘画活动。”)”可推知,Van der Meer建议孩子们从小学习书法,因为书法对大脑活动有好处,那么她也会支持孩子们手写笔记,文章第六段用Joshua Weiner的话侧面印证了这一观点。故选B项。
D
They may have text, email, Facebook and Twitter, but young people are still lonelier than any other age group. The Loneliness in New Zealand report, published by Statistics New Zealand, shows under 30s are more likely to feel lonely than older people because loneliness decreases with age. Loneliness and poor mental health were strongly related across all ages. Young people were not as likely to feel lonely because of financial hardship, but among older people, lack of money was a significant influence on loneliness. Women were more likely to feel lonely than men.
Philip Walker, spokesman for the General Social Survey, said because it was relatively new it was hard to know whether loneliness among young people was a new trend. But overseas research has found that levels of loneliness in youth today are growing.
Walker said the finding needed more exploration, including looking at the role of technology and social media. “It could be that people’s expectations of connection have gone up, so we expect increased levels of connection,” he said. “While technology like cell phones could help young people stay connected, on the other hand for those who do get bullied (欺辱), especially bullied online, it’s quite isolating. A lot of the time potentially it is a big contributor to loneliness.”
Figures from online dating website FindSomeone also confirmed more young people were looking for love. Manager Rick Davies, said younger dating hopefuls were the fastest growing group on the site.
Mr. Davies noted that since the report data was collected in 2010 there had been huge growth in smart phones, which meant people were online even more. He believed online tools, such as Skype, could help people stay connected. “People can keep in touch with a wide range of friends from all over the world much more easily now. It’s like you’re sitting in your living room having a chat with them.”
Bemardine Reid, operations committee chairwoman for Samaritans, which operates a free helpline, said many of their calls came from people who were lonely. “It might be that they’ve got some problem, just like all the things people would normally talk to a friend about, but people who are alone lack those normal contacts.” (交流)
The Statistics New Zealand report also showed people who didn’t have face-to-face contact with family and friends were more likely to feel lonely, as were those who lived alone.
27. Which of the following may Mr. Walker agree with?
A. High technology may become a reason for loneliness.
B. People shouldn’t use the Internet to get to know strangers.
C. It’s hard for people to get enough connection online as expected.
D. Social media should play an important role in helping lonely people.
28. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.
A. FindSomeone is a website where you can find old friends
B. without technology, young people would not feel lonely
C. high technology results in the older being lonely
D. those cheated or hurt online tend to feel lonely
29. From the last two paragraphs, we can conclude that ________.
A. Internet can keep people free from loneliness
B. people chatting a lot online tend to be optimistic
C. people living alone tend to have more connection online
D. people communicating less in the real world risk loneliness
30. What is the best title of the passage?
A. Loneliness around You B. Young People Online
C. Young but Lonely D. E-times and Young People
【答案】27. A 28. D 29. D 30. C
【解析】

细节理解题。根据第三段“While technology like cell phones could help young people stay connected, on the other hand for those who do get bullied(欺辱),especially bullied online, it's quite isolating.A lot of the time potentially it is a big contributor to loneliness.(虽然现在的高科技技术如手机能帮助年轻人之间取得联系,另一方面对于那些被欺辱,尤其是在网上被欺辱的人来说,这是相当孤立的。在很多时候这是导致孤独的一个重要因素。)”可知,Mr. Walker认为高科技可能是人们孤独的原因。故选A。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“on the other hand for those who do get bullied(欺辱),especially bullied online, it's quite isolating.A lot of the time potentially it is a big contributor to loneliness(另一方面对于那些被欺辱,尤其是在网上被欺辱的人来说,这是相当孤立的。在很多时候这是导致孤独的一个重要因素。)”可推知,在网上受到欺骗或伤害的人往往会感到孤独。故选D。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“ people who didn't have face-to-face contact with family and friends were more likely to feel lonely, as were those who lived alone.(那些没有同家人和朋友进行面对面交流的人更有可能感到孤独,就如那些独居的人一样)”可知,没有与家人和朋友进行面对面接触的人更容易感到孤独。因此在现实世界中交流的少的人,孤独的风险更高。故选D。
【30题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章的主要内容,尤其第一段的“They may have text, email, Facebook and Twitter, but young people are still lonelier than any other age group. (他们可能会发短信、邮件、使用Facebook和Twitter,但是年轻人仍然比其他任何年龄段的人都孤独)”可知,文章主要讲述由于高科技的使用,年轻人更容易感到孤独。故“年轻但孤独”可以作为本文的最佳标题。故选C。

【详解】考查动名词。句意:莉迪亚不想出国留学,因为她父母年纪大了。feel like doing sth.是固定短语,意为“想要做某事”,因此空格处用动名词studying作宾语,故填studying。
41. The ground is covered with snow and ice, ________ makes driving very dangerous. (用适当的词填空)
【答案】which
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句。句意:地面被雪和冰覆盖,这使得驾驶非常危险。分析句子结构,空处引导非限制性定语从句,修饰空前的整个句子,关系词在从句中作主语,应用which引导从句。故填which。
42. We traveled together as far as Chicago, ______ we said goodbye to each other. (用适当的词填空)
【答案】where
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句。句意:我们一起旅行到芝加哥,在那里我们互相道别。分析句子可知,这里考查非限制性定语从句,先行词为Chicago,在从句中作地点状语,所以应用关系副词where。故填where。
43. By the time the president arrived at the party, most of the guests _________. (leave) (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】had left
【解析】
【详解】考查时态。句意:当总统到达晚会时,大多数客人已经离开了。根据时间状语By the time the president arrived at the party可知,空处谓语动词需用过去完成时态,表示在过去某个时间之前已经发生的动作,即“过去的过去”,其构成:had done。故填had left。
44. We stopped at the different gates _________ (take) photos. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】to take
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:我们在不同的门前停下来拍照。空处需用非谓语动词作状语,结合句意可知,此处表示目的,所以空处需用动词不定式作目的状语。故填to take。
45. The Wall _________ (build) originally to protect the city in the Tang Dynasty. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】was built
【解析】
【详解】考查时态,被动语态和主谓一致。句意:这堵墙最初是在唐朝时期建造的,其目的是为了保护这座城市。由in the Tang Dynasty可知,句子用一般过去时,墙是被建,因此句子用一般过去时的被动语态,主语The Wall是单数,因此空格处是was built。故填was built。
46. One develops a reading habit by reading 20 minutes every day and never _________ (skip) it. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】skipping
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:一个人可以通过每天阅读20分钟并且从不跳过阅读来养成阅读习惯。空处和reading并列作介词by的宾语,所以空处需用动名词的形式。故填skipping。
47. —You were brave enough to raise objections at the meeting.
—Well, now I regret________ (do) that. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】doing
【解析】
【详解】考查动名词。句意:——你很勇敢地在会上提出了反对意见。——现在我后悔了。regret doing固定短语,“后悔做了……”,动名词作宾语,故填doing。
48. He paid the boy $10 for washing ten windows, most of ________ hadn’t been cleaned for at least a year.
【答案】which
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句。句意:他付给这个男孩10美元来清洗十个窗户,其中大部分窗户至少有一年没有清洗了。此处为关系词引导的非限制性定语从句,从句中缺少介词of的宾语,所以此处使用关系代词,先行词windows指的是物,所以此处使用关系代词which。故答案为which。
Ⅲ.完成句子(共5小题,每题2分,共10分)
根据括号中所给提示完成下列句子。
49. 知道很多人欣赏我所做的事情真让我开心。(appreciate)(汉译英)
【答案】It’s nice to know that many people appreciate what I do.
【解析】
【详解】考查句型、时态、非谓语动词和宾语从句。it is+adj+to do sth.做某事是……的,it作形式主语,真正的主语为不定式;“知道”用动词know,后接宾语从句,从句不缺少成分且句意完整,所以用连接代词that引导;“很多人”翻译为many people ,在从句作主语;“欣赏”用动词appreciate,后接宾语从句,从句缺少宾语,指物,所以用连接代词what引导。“我所做的事情”翻译为what I do。陈述现在事情,用一般现在时,根据句意,故翻译为It’s nice to know that many people appreciate what I do.
50. 参加志愿者活动是我人生中最愉快的事。(doing做主语)(汉译英)
___________________________
【答案】Taking part in volunteer activities is the most enjoyable thing in my life.
【解析】
【详解】考查固定短语,动名词,时态,主谓一致和形容词。“参加”是固定短语take part in,用动名词作主语,“志愿者活动”是volunteer activities,动名词作主语时,谓语动词用单数,句子描述客观事实,时态用一般现在时,因此be动词用is,“最愉快的事”是the most enjoyable thing,“我人生中”是in my life,故答案为Taking part in volunteer activities is the most enjoyable thing in my life.
51. 这些训练旨在减少压力与紧张的影响。(aim to)(汉译英)
___________________________
【答案】These exercises aim to reduce the effects of stress and tension.
【解析】
【详解】考查动词及时态。句子描述现在的一般情况,应用一般现在时,主语“这些训练”译为these exercises,“旨在做某事”aim to do sth.,动词“减少”译为reduce,使用不定式形式作宾语,“压力与紧张的影响”译为the effects of stress and tension,作宾语,位于句首单词首字母需大写。故翻译为These exercises aim to reduce the effects of stress and tension.
52. 我花了很多时间试图说服他去放弃那些坏习惯。(convince sb. to do)(汉译英)
___________________________
【答案】I spent a lot of time trying to convince him to give up those bad habits.
【解析】
【详解】考查固定短语和时态。“花了很多时间做某事”是spend a lot of time doing sth.,句子描述过去的事情,时态用一般过去时,spend的过去式是spent,“试图做某事”是try to do,用动名词作宾语,“说服某人做某事”是convince sb. to do sth.,“放弃”是give up,“那些坏习惯”是those bad habits。故翻译为I spent a lot of time trying to convince him to give up those bad habits.
53. 如果学生能接触到好的资源,他们更可能达成自己的目标。(have access to)(汉译英)
___________________________________________________________________
【答案】If students have access to good resources, they are more likely to achieve their goals.
【解析】
【详解】考查条件状语从句和固定短语。表示“如果学生能接触到好的资源”用if引导的条件状语从句,从句中表示 “学生”用students,作主语,表示“能接触到,可以使用”用have access to,是固定短语,本句描述一般事实,时态用一般现在时,主语为复数,谓语用have;表示“好的资源”用good resources,作宾语。主句中:用they作主语,指代前面从句中的students; 表示“更可能做某事”用be more likely to do sth.,主语为they,be动词用are;表示“达成他们的目标”用achieve their goals,位于不定式符号to后,用动词原形。故翻译为:If students have access to good resources, they are more likely to achieve their goals.
Ⅳ.阅读表达(共4小题;第69、70、71小题各2分,第72小题3分,共9分)
In 1983, Howard Gardner, a professor at Harvard, published Frames of Mind: The Theory of Multiple Intelligences. In the book, he presented one type of intelligence that everyone must develop if they want to be successful. That is emotional intelligence.
Emotional intelligence refers to the ability to identify and regulate your own emotions. It means having a deep understanding of yourself, knowing your own strengths and weaknesses, and handling reactions and emotions wisely. Emotional intelligence is critical for success in almost any field and it is especially important for high-stress environments, for example, when times are tough and when a person wants to quit or is fearful.
We all know highly emotional people. Rather than react wisely, they tend to let their emotions run their lives, often saying or doing something they may later regret. I’ve seen many people do this on social media, getting in arguments with loved ones over trivial stuff because they have different opinions. This inability to master the self leads to many struggles and heartaches for people.
Emotional intelligence does not mean being void (没有) of emotions. It means you know it is okay to be angry, just not out-of-control angry. You know it’s okay to feel hurt, but it is not okay to do something stupid in the name of revenge (报复). Many of us know people who are very intelligent, but allow their emotions to damage their lives.
Now, reflect on how you manage your emotions. Are you smart in the way you express what you’re feeling, especially when the pressure is on?
54. According to the passage, what is “emotional intelligence”?
55. How do highly emotional people deal with their emotions?
56. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
It’s important to keep your emotions under control, so when you get hurt, you should neither get angry nor do stupid things for revenge.
57. In your daily life, what can you do to better manage your emotions?
【答案】54. Emotional intelligence refers to the ability to identify and regulate your own emotions.
55. Rather than react wisely, highly emotional people tend to let their emotions run their lives, often saying or doing something they may later regret.
56. It’s important to keep your emotions under control, so when you get hurt, you should neither get angry nor do stupid things for revenge.
According to the passage, it’s okay for you to feel angry, just not out-of-control angry.
57. I manage my emotions in two ways. Firstly, I like writing down my bad feelings, which enables me to let go of them so that I can focus more on what makes me cheerful. Secondly, when conflict occurs, it helps to talk openly about my feelings and thoughts.
I improve my emotional control from two aspects. When in conflict with others, I address it with a shoe-shifting view, which helps me better understand them and avoid highly emotional response. As for my negative feelings, I prefer to let them out in a healthy way, such as running or singing, which benefits me emotionally.
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲的是什么是情商,高情商和低情商的人分别有什么表现。
【54题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的“Emotional intelligence refers to the ability to identify and regulate your own emotions.(情商指的是识别和调节自己情绪的能力。)”可知,情商指的是识别和调节自己情绪的能力,故答案为Emotional intelligence refers to the ability to identify and regulate your own emotions。
【55题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的“We all know highly emotional people. Rather than react wisely, they tend to let their emotions run their lives, often saying or doing something they may later regret.(我们都认识高度情绪化的人。他们没有做出明智的反应,而是倾向于让自己的情绪控制自己的生活,经常说或做一些事后可能会后悔的事情。)”可知,高度情绪化的人倾向于让他们的情绪控制他们的生活,经常说或做一些事后可能会后悔的事情,故答案为Rather than react wisely, highly emotional people tend to let their emotions run their lives, often saying or doing something they may later regret。
【56题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的“It means you know it is okay to be angry, just not out-of-control angry. You know it’s okay to feel hurt, but it is not okay to do something stupid in the name of revenge (报复).(这意味着你知道生气是可以的,只是不要失控。你知道受伤是可以的,但以复仇的名义做傻事就不对了。)”可知,题干中说“should neither get angry(都不应该生气)”是不对的,故答案为It’s important to keep your emotions under control, so when you get hurt, you should neither get angry nor do stupid things for revenge. According to the passage, it’s okay for you to feel angry, just not out-of-control angry. 。
【57题详解】
推理判断题。根据客观事实,首先,我喜欢写下我的不好的感觉,这能让我放开它们,这样我就能更多地关注让我快乐的事情。其次,当冲突发生时,公开谈论我的感受和想法会有帮助。故答案为I manage my emotions in two ways. Firstly, I like writing down my bad feelings, which enables me to let go of them so that I can focus more on what makes me cheerful. Secondly, when conflict occurs, it helps to talk openly about my feelings and thoughts.。
