Thinking that I might be lucky again, I ____15____ joining in other art competitions, but the result was that I ____16____ won again. I accepted the fact that the other people had a ____17____ artistic ability than I did. Art was not something I was especially interested in and I had never practiced the different art skills.

It can make them feel bad both in their bodies and minds. Some researchers wanted to see if Tai Chi, a special kind of exercise that uses slow movements to help both the body and mind, could help people with fibromyalgia feel better. They studied 226 people with fibromyalgia for a year. Some did regular exercise, and others did Tai Chi, which can be done by anyone, no matter their physical limits. Before starting, the researchers checked how much pain and stress each person had. They chose patients who had a lot of pain and had been dealing with fibromyalgia for about nine years. They divided them into two groups: one did regular exercise, and the other did Tai Chi. Both groups exercised twice a week for an hour. After either 12 or 24 weeks of classes, they were told to practise at home for at least 30 minutes every day. The researchers checked on them every month. They also asked how much pain and other problems the patients had in the beginning, after 12 and 24 weeks, and after the whole year. The results showed that the Tai Chi groups, especially those who practised for 24 weeks, had less pain than the regular exercise groups. The Tai Chi groups also felt less stressed and were better at dealing with their problems. They attended their Tai Chi classes more often. Tai Chi is about moving slowly to exercise all parts of the body. It helps with balance. It also helps with feelings and behaviour. The researchers said, “Tai Chi helped patients with fibromyalgia feel better in their minds and bodies, which might be better for them in the long run.” Many patients have also said that Tai Chi helps them feel better. The researchers’ study adds something more to that. They said, “Tai Chi could help patients feel more confident to manage their condition better. Tai Chi may be especially well suited to the treatment of fibromyalgia.” 39. What can we learn about fibromyalgia? A. Patients’ minds are free of pain. B. A long time is needed to improve it. C. It makes patients move very slowly. D. It’s caused by a sudden pain in the body. 40. How did the researchers carry out the study? A. By recording patients’ everyday life. B. By phoning patients from time to time. C. By mentioning the studies in the past. D. By following patients’ health conditions. 41. Which of the following can best describe Tai Chi according to the last two paragraphs? A. Practical. B. Challenging. C. Traditional. D. Interesting. 42. What is the best title for the passage? A. The power of Tai Chi for fibromyalgia B. Exploring the ancient culture of Tai Chi C. The science behind mind and body practices D. Advantages of Tai Chi over medicine 【答案】39. B 40. D 41. A 42. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了研究人员通过对比实验，发现太极拳对纤维肌痛症患者有积极影响，能减轻疼痛、缓解压力并提升患者应对问题的能力，强调了太极拳对纤维肌痛症的益处。 【39题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Fibromyalgia is a long-lasting health problem, which makes people feel pain and have trouble sleeping.”可知，纤维肌痛症是一种长期的健康问题，需要很长时间来改善。故选B。 【40题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The researchers checked on them every month. They also asked how much pain and other problems the patients had in the beginning, after 12 and 24 weeks, and after the whole year.”可知，研究人员通过跟踪患者的健康状况来进行研究。故选D。 【41题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Tai Chi helped patients with fibromyalgia feel better in their minds and bodies, which might be better for them in the long run.”以及最后一段“Tai Chi could help patients feel more confident to manage their condition better. Tai Chi may be especially well suited to the treatment of fibromyalgia.”可知，太极拳能改善他们的病情，因此可以推断太极拳是有实效的。故选A。 【42题详解】 最佳标题题。文章主要围绕太极拳对纤维肌痛症患者的积极影响展开，介绍了研究过程和结果，强调了太极拳对于纤维肌痛症患者的改善效果。故选A。 C Community Organic Food Market After the great success of last year’s Community Organic (有机的) Food Market (COFM), this year’s COFM will be bigger and better.

By providing a small electrical support at the right moment, they can keep a heart working properly. Their main problem is that they use batteries. Even the best of them will run out of energy, and changing the batteries requires operations. Since operations are usually best avoided, the search has been on for long-lasting batteries. Different choices have been explored for a long time. Today, pacemakers with lithium batteries (锂电池) last between 5 and 15 years. Zhang Hao, from Shanghai Second Military Medical University, and Yang Bin, from Shanghai Jiao Tong University, tried a way to refill a pacemaker’s battery with electricity(电) by getting energy from inside the body. They report in the magazine ACS Nano that they have also used the heart muscle (肌肉) itself to work. Earlier efforts by other scientists to use heart muscle power to run pacemakers depended on piezoelectric materials (压电材料). These materials can be connected to a beating heart and produce electricity when they are slightly deformed (弯曲). This has worked, but not well enough: the output has rarely been over 5 microwatts (微瓦), while most pacemakers require at least ten. Dr Zhang and Dr Yang believed that they could improve the matter by making their piezoelectric materials more dramatically deformed, and then produce 15 microwatts, because the more deformed, the more electricity will be produced. They put their idea to the test in a 50kg pig. It made enough electricity for the pacemaker to work as expected. Whether such an idea will pass human tests remains to be seen. But if it does, the days of pacemakers that need battery changes through operations may not last long. 46. What is a problem with pacemakers according to the first two paragraphs? A. They often go off beat. B. Their energy can be used up. C Operations often influence them. D. They sometimes do harm to hearts. 47. What do we know about piezoelectric materials from this passage? A. They can be used to produce electricity. B. They can deform the heart to make it beat faster. C. They were first used by Zhang Hao and Yang Bin. D. They were proved to produce 15 microwatts in human tests. 48. What does the underlined word “dramatically” probably mean? A. Comfortably. B. Safely. C. Greatly. D. Quickly. 49. What is the best title for this article? A. No Need to Use Pacemakers B. The Problem with Piezoelectric Materials C. The Contribution of Chinese Scientists to Heart Operations D. Chinese Scientists Found a New Way to Improve Pacemakers 【答案】46. B 47. A 48. C 49. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了心脏起搏器面临的主要问题是电池续航，以及中国科学家张浩和杨斌尝试通过利用心肌和压电材料为起搏器持续供电的新方法，以解决更换电池需手术的难题。 【46题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第1、2段“Their main problem is that they use batteries. Even the best of them will run out of energy...”可知，起搏器的主要问题在于其使用的电池最终会耗尽。故选B。 【47题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第3段“...piezoelectric materials (压电材料). These materials can be connected to a beating heart and produce electricity...”可知，压电材料可以连接在跳动的心脏上并产生电。故选A。 【48题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第4段“...making their piezoelectric materials more dramatically deformed, and then produce 15 microwatts, because the more deformed, the more electricity will be produced.”可知，他们通过使压电材料变形得更厉害来产生更多电能，后文明确说“变形越多，产生的电越多”，因此“dramatically”应表示变形程度“大”。故选C。 【49题详解】 最佳标题题。通读全文可知，文章主要围绕起搏器电池续航问题，重点介绍了中国科学家张浩和杨斌利用心肌和改良压电材料为起搏器供电的新方法及其初步实验结果。故选D。 E Winter sports were popular in the north of China hundreds of years ago. This combination (联合) of ice skating and archery (箭术) became popular during the Qing Dynasty. There were three arches (拱门) put on the ice, with a silk ball hung by a rope in the middle of each arch. Players would skate across the ice, led by a person with a flag. Once passing through an arch, they would turn around and try to hit the ball with an arrow. The scene was very powerful, as hundreds of players joined in together, moving in a line like a dragon. In the match, the players were divided into two teams. They competed to catch a ball thrown into the air above ice. Unlike the ancient cuju, players were allowed to pass the ball with their hands and feet. According to historical records, the Qing government included the sport in military (军事的) training, as it could improve players’ endurance (耐力) and strength. This sport was popular in the 18th century. On cold winter days, organizers would water a slope (斜坡) about ten meters in length to create an ice track for competitors. Wearing ice skates, competitors would take turns to slide (滑行) down the slope to show as much of their skating skills as they could. Those who made it down the slope without falling would be the winner. The sport was dangerous and carried a high risk of injury (损伤). 50. Group work is very important in ________. A. archery on ice and ice football B. ice football and downhill ice skating C. archery on ice and downhill ice skating D. archery on ice, ice football and downhill ice skating 51. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. Downhill ice skating first appeared in the Qing Dynasty. B. Players competed to hit the silk ball before passing through the arch. C. It’s not so hard to win the match of downhill ice skating without getting hurt. D. With a strong mind and full strength, one team may be the winner of Ice football. 52. In which column (栏目) of a newspaper may we read the passage most probably? A. Modern ice sports B. Interesting ancient competitions C. Beauty of Chinese culture D. Olympics in the Qing Dynasty 【答案】50. A 51. D 52. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了中国古代北方流行的冬季运动项目。 【50题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The scene was very powerful, as hundreds of players joined in together, moving in a line like a dragon.”和“In the match, the players were divided into two teams. They competed to catch a ball thrown into the air above ice.”可知，团队合作在转龙射球和冰上蹴鞠中很重要。故选A。 【51题详解】 细节理解题。根据“In the match, the players were divided into two teams. They competed to catch a ball thrown into the air above ice.”以及“According to historical records, the Qing government included the sport in military (军事的) training, as it could improve players’ endurance (耐力) and strength.”可知，冰上蹴鞠比赛中选手们分组竞争，且能提高耐力和力量，所以有坚强的意志和充沛的体力，一个团队可能成为冰上足球比赛的获胜者，D选项正确。故选D。 【52题详解】 推理判断题。文章主要介绍了中国古代北方流行的冬季运动，如冰上射箭、冰上足球和下坡滑冰，这些运动都和古代的比赛有关。故选B。 第二节　阅读下面短文,并用英语回答问题(请注意每小题的词数要求)。 F Once upon a time, a young boy named John lived in a small village. Like many other boys, he loved trying new things, but he often failed. One day, he decided to climb the highest mountain near his village. His parents said, “It’s too hard, John! No one has ever made it to the top.” But John still wanted to try. He started climbing in the early morning. The path was filled with lots of dangerous rocks. Halfway up, John even fell down and hurt his knee. Sitting there, he thought about going back. Then, he saw a tiny ant trying to carry a big leaf. The leaf dropped many times but the ant kept trying. Seeing that, John thought, “If that ant can keep trying, so can I.” Feeling stronger, John got up and kept climbing, step by step. After a long time, as the sun was setting, John reached the top. He saw his whole village and the beautiful streams below. It was wonderful! John taught everyone, especially the kids, an important lesson: ________ 53. When did John start climbing the mountain?

Business World B Fibromyalgia is a long-lasting health problem, which makes people feel pain and have trouble sleeping. It can make them feel bad both in their bodies and minds. Some researchers wanted to see if Tai Chi, a special kind of exercise that uses slow movements to help both the body and mind, could help people with fibromyalgia feel better. They studied 226 people with fibromyalgia for a year. Some did regular exercise, and others did Tai Chi, which can be done by anyone, no matter their physical limits. Before starting, the researchers checked how much pain and stress each person had. They chose patients who had a lot of pain and had been dealing with fibromyalgia for about nine years. They divided them into two groups: one did regular exercise, and the other did Tai Chi. Both groups exercised twice a week for an hour. After either 12 or 24 weeks of classes, they were told to practise at home for at least 30 minutes every day. The researchers checked on them every month. They also asked how much pain and other problems the patients had in the beginning, after 12 and 24 weeks, and after the whole year. The results showed that the Tai Chi groups, especially those who practised for 24 weeks, had less pain than the regular exercise groups. The Tai Chi groups also felt less stressed and were better at dealing with their problems. They attended their Tai Chi classes more often. Tai Chi is about moving slowly to exercise all parts of the body. It helps with balance. It also helps with feelings and behaviour. The researchers said, “Tai Chi helped patients with fibromyalgia feel better in their minds and bodies, which might be better for them in the long run.” Many patients have also said that Tai Chi helps them feel better. The researchers’ study adds something more to that. They said, “Tai Chi could help patients feel more confident to manage their condition better. Tai Chi may be especially well suited to the treatment of fibromyalgia.” 39. What can we learn about fibromyalgia? A. Patients’ minds are free of pain. B. A long time is needed to improve it. C. It makes patients move very slowly. D. It’s caused by a sudden pain in the body. 40. How did the researchers carry out the study? A. By recording patients’ everyday life. B. By phoning patients from time to time. C. By mentioning the studies in the past. D. By following patients’ health conditions. 41. Which of the following can best describe Tai Chi according to the last two paragraphs? A Practical. B. Challenging. C. Traditional. D. Interesting. 42. What is the best title for the passage? A. The power of Tai Chi for fibromyalgia B. Exploring the ancient culture of Tai Chi C. The science behind mind and body practices D. Advantages of Tai Chi over medicine C Community Organic Food Market After the great success of last year’s Community Organic (有机的) Food Market (COFM), this year’s COFM will be bigger and better.

D For those whose hearts often go offbeat, pacemakers (心脏起搏器) are lifesavers. By providing a small electrical support at the right moment, they can keep a heart working properly. Their main problem is that they use batteries. Even the best of them will run out of energy, and changing the batteries requires operations. Since operations are usually best avoided, the search has been on for long-lasting batteries. Different choices have been explored for a long time. Today, pacemakers with lithium batteries (锂电池) last between 5 and 15 years. Zhang Hao, from Shanghai Second Military Medical University, and Yang Bin, from Shanghai Jiao Tong University, tried a way to refill a pacemaker’s battery with electricity(电) by getting energy from inside the body. They report in the magazine ACS Nano that they have also used the heart muscle (肌肉) itself to work. Earlier efforts by other scientists to use heart muscle power to run pacemakers depended on piezoelectric materials (压电材料). These materials can be connected to a beating heart and produce electricity when they are slightly deformed (弯曲). This has worked, but not well enough: the output has rarely been over 5 microwatts (微瓦), while most pacemakers require at least ten. Dr Zhang and Dr Yang believed that they could improve the matter by making their piezoelectric materials more dramatically deformed, and then produce 15 microwatts, because the more deformed, the more electricity will be produced. They put their idea to the test in a 50kg pig. It made enough electricity for the pacemaker to work as expected. Whether such an idea will pass human tests remains to be seen. But if it does, the days of pacemakers that need battery changes through operations may not last long. 46. What is a problem with pacemakers according to the first two paragraphs? A. They often go off beat. B. Their energy can be used up. C. Operations often influence them. D. They sometimes do harm to hearts. 47. What do we know about piezoelectric materials from this passage? A. They can be used to produce electricity. B. They can deform the heart to make it beat faster. C. They were first used by Zhang Hao and Yang Bin. D. They were proved to produce 15 microwatts in human tests. 48. What does the underlined word “dramatically” probably mean? A. Comfortably. B. Safely. C. Greatly. D. Quickly. 49. What is the best title for this article? A. No Need to Use Pacemakers B. The Problem with Piezoelectric Materials C. The Contribution of Chinese Scientists to Heart Operations D. Chinese Scientists Found a New Way to Improve Pacemakers E Winter sports were popular in the north of China hundreds of years ago. This combination (联合) of ice skating and archery (箭术) became popular during the Qing Dynasty. There were three arches (拱门) put on the ice, with a silk ball hung by a rope in the middle of each arch. Players would skate across the ice, led by a person with a flag. Once passing through an arch, they would turn around and try to hit the ball with an arrow. The scene was very powerful, as hundreds of players joined in together, moving in a line like a dragon. In the match, the players were divided into two teams. They competed to catch a ball thrown into the air above ice. Unlike the ancient cuju, players were allowed to pass the ball with their hands and feet. According to historical records, the Qing government included the sport in military (军事的) training, as it could improve players’ endurance (耐力) and strength. This sport was popular in the 18th century. On cold winter days, organizers would water a slope (斜坡) about ten meters in length to create an ice track for competitors. Wearing ice skates, competitors would take turns to slide (滑行) down the slope to show as much of their skating skills as they could. Those who made it down the slope without falling would be the winner. The sport was dangerous and carried a high risk of injury (损伤). 50. Group work is very important in ________. A. archery on ice and ice football B. ice football and downhill ice skating C. archery on ice and downhill ice skating D. archery on ice, ice football and downhill ice skating 51. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. Downhill ice skating first appeared in the Qing Dynasty. B. Players competed to hit the silk ball before passing through the arch. C. It’s not so hard to win the match of downhill ice skating without getting hurt. D. With a strong mind and full strength, one team may be the winner of Ice football. 52. In which column (栏目) of a newspaper may we read the passage most probably? A. Modern ice sports B. Interesting ancient competitions C. Beauty of Chinese culture D.

Like many other boys, he loved trying new things, but he often failed. One day, he decided to climb the highest mountain near his village. His parents said, “It’s too hard, John! No one has ever made it to the top.” But John still wanted to try. He started climbing in the early morning. The path was filled with lots of dangerous rocks. Halfway up, John even fell down and hurt his knee. Sitting there, he thought about going back. Then, he saw a tiny ant trying to carry a big leaf. The leaf dropped many times but the ant kept trying. Seeing that, John thought, “If that ant can keep trying, so can I.” Feeling stronger, John got up and kept climbing, step by step. After a long time, as the sun was setting, John reached the top. He saw his whole village and the beautiful streams below. It was wonderful! John taught everyone, especially the kids, an important lesson: ________ 53. When did John start climbing the mountain?
