As we scroll through thousands of postings each day on social media, we see lots of gossip about celebrities and read people’s opinions about various issues. However, because we can now “choose (whether being forced to or not)” the news we read, we may be missing the news we “need.” According to a new survey released by Gallup, about 58% of Americans get their news from online sources, 38% from television and radio, and only 3% from printed newspapers and magazines. In Shanghai, we can also see the evidence of this drop in print media readership with the ____22____ of the red kiosks (书报亭) that used to be ubiquitous (无处不在的) around the city. This is ____23____, as I see it, since newspapers and magazines, which explain stories in more detail, are still one of the most reliable sources of news today.

That being said, some may still argue that all news is, ultimately, ____29____ to them. It’s likely that few of us would be able to name a news story in the last month that helped us to make a more informed ____30____ in our personal lives. If there is something I’ve noticed about people, including myself, is that we are almost always poor at ____31____ between what is and is not “relevant.” For me, I never ____32____ that the habit of reading news stories would end up helping me with my schoolwork and that it would later help pave the path to my future career. By reading well-written newspaper articles, I was able to include some of the information in my essays and to ____33____ my own writing skills. ____34____, the news allows us to understand the world and our place in it.

C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要说明了如今信息虽多，人们却反而消息闭塞，纸质媒体日渐衰落令人惋惜。作者坚持读报，认为新闻能拓宽视野、提升能力，还呼吁大家关注权威、可靠的新闻来源。 【21题详解】 考查副词词义辨析。句意：尽管我们如今能够获取到比以往任何时候都多的信息，但奇怪的是，我们的知识水平却在下降。A. curiously好奇地；B. fortunately幸运地；C. interestingly有趣地；D. strangely奇怪地。根据上文“Even though we are being given access to more information than ever before”以及后文“enough becoming less informed”可知，前后是矛盾、反差，指尽管我们如今能够获取到比以往任何时候都多的信息，但奇怪的是，我们的知识水平却在下降。故选D。 【22题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：在上海，我们还能看到印刷媒体读者数量下降的迹象，那就是那些曾经遍布全城的红色售报亭如今已消失。A. disadvantage缺点；B. disappearance消失；C. disapproval不赞成；D. disconnection断开。根据后文“the red kiosks that used to be ubiquitous around the city.”以及常识可知，那些曾经遍布全城的红色售报亭如今已不复存在了、消失了。故选B。 【23题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：在我看来，这实在是一件令人遗憾的事，因为报纸和杂志能够更详细地解读新闻内容，而它们仍是当今最可靠的新闻来源之一。A. meaningful有意义的；B. necessary必要的；C. reasonable合理的；D. unfortunate不幸的。根据后文“since newspapers and magazines, which explain stories in more detail, are still one of the most reliable sources of news today”可知，作者认为报纸和杂志能够更详细地解读新闻内容，而它们仍是当今最可靠的新闻来源之一，所以消失是一件不幸的事。故选D。 【24题详解】 考查动词短语辨析。句意：每天早上我都会去拿一份《环球邮报》（这是一家总部位于多伦多的加拿大报纸），然后在午餐时间通读这份报纸。A. hand out分发；B. pick up取走，捡起；C. show off炫耀；D. throw away扔掉。根据后文“a copy of The Globe and Mail, a Canadian newspaper based in Toronto, and read through it during my lunch break”可知，作者有早上取报纸阅读的习惯。故选B。 【25题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：报纸头版的两篇大新闻以及内页上的几篇小新闻在我看来都极具吸引力。A. abstract抽象的；B. boring无聊的；C. fascinating迷人的；D. weird怪异的。根据上文“since newspapers and magazines, which explain stories in more detail, are still one of the most reliable sources of news today”可知，作者喜欢读报，态度是正面，即新闻具有吸引力。故选C。 【26题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：另外，每天阅读新闻报道这一做法让我感觉与更广阔的世界的联系更加紧密了。每天阅读新闻报道这一习惯让我感觉与更广阔的世界的联系更加紧密了。A. bonus奖金；B. chance机会；C. priority优先事项；D. task任务。根据前文“Every morning I would________ a copy of  The Globe and Mail”和后文“reading news stories everyday has made me feel better connected to the wider world”可知，作者每天读报，读报让我和世界联系更紧密。可推断除了获取信息之外，多出来的一个好处，added bonus 是一个固定搭配，意思是：额外的好处、附加的益处。故选A。 27题详解】 考查副词词义辨析。句意：国际社会并未将其视为发生在遥远国度的悲惨事件，且该事件并未对其他国家产生任何影响，而是立刻采取行动伸出援手。A. hesitantly犹豫地；B. instantly立即；C. pleasantly愉快地；D. reluctantly不情愿地。根据上文“Last February, terrible earthquakes hit Turkey and Syria.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A) Grown-ups are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practiced ever since. A man who has not had a chance to go swimming for years can still swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water. He can get on a bicycle after many years and still ride away. He can play catch and hit a ball as well as his son. A mother who has not thought about the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins “Twinkle, twinkle, little star” or remember the story of Cinderella or Goldilocks and the Three Bears. One explanation is the law of overlearning, which can be stated as follows: Once we have learned something, additional learning experiences increase the length of time we will remember it. In childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming, bicycle riding, and playing baseball long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and remind ourselves of words such as “Twinkle, twinkle, little star” and childhood tales such as Cinderella and Goldilocks. We not only learn but overlearn. The multiplication tables(乘法口诀表) are an exception to the general rule that we forget rather quickly the things that we learn in school, because they are another of the things we overlearn in childhood. The law of overlearning explains why cramming(突击学习) for an examination, though it may result in a passing grade, is not a satisfactory way to learn a college course. By cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination, but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned. A little overlearning, on the other hand, is really necessary for one’s future development. 36. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 1? A. Stories for children are easy to remember. B. Children have a better memory than grown-ups. C. Poem reading is a good way to learn words. D. People remember well what they learned in childhood. 37. The author explains the law of overlearning by _______. A. presenting research findings B. setting down general rules C. using examples D. making a comparison 38. According to the author, being able to use multiplication tables is _______. A. a result of overlearning B. a special case of cramming C. a skill to deal with math problems D. a basic step towards advanced studies 39. What is the author’s opinion on cramming? A. It leads to failure in college exams. B. It’s helpful only in a limited way. C. It’s possible to result in poor memory. D. It increases students’ learning interest. 【答案】36. D 37. C 38. A 39. B 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇议论文。成年人常常惊叹他们能很好地记着儿时学过的东西。作者认为这是儿时过度学习的结果，是因为当我们儿时学会一样东西的时候，我们不是就此停止，而是持续练习，才使我们记忆深刻。文章用例证法说明了“过度学习”的概念，最后作者谈到了“过度学习”的好处和“突击学习”的弊端。 【36题详解】 段落大意题。第一段主要讲述大人们在儿时学会的东西，即使多年不复习还是可以记得很清楚。故D项“人们在儿时学习的知识记得很好。”正确。 【37题详解】 推理判断题。作者在解释超量学习法则的时候，运用了乘法口诀和考试前突击学习的例子。故选C。 【38题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中because they are another of the things we overlearn in childhood.（因为这是我们儿时超量学习的另一个结果。）故选A。 【39题详解】 细节理解题。最后一段解释考试之前的突击学习。根据最后一段By cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination, but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned.（通过突击学习，学生可以通过考试，但是很快就会忘记所学。）可知，这种方式仅适用于考前，故选B。 (B) A Language Programme for Teenagers Welcome to Teenagers Abroad!

Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. In the Death Zone of Mount Everest Mountain climbers call the part of a mountain over 7,000 meters the Death Zone. The human body can’t live for very long at this height, because the air is too thin and there isn’t enough oxygen. Mount Everest, the world’s highest mountain, is 8,848 meters high. What happens to the bodies of people who climb it? Their lungs have to work very hard. Normally, people breathe about 20 times every minute when they are resting. On top of Everest, climbers must breathe 70 to 80 times a minute to get enough oxygen. ____47____ Other parts of the body work very slowly, to save energy. For example, the stomach stops digesting food. ____48____ They have insomnia (失眠), so they always feel tired. They get very bad headaches. The sun burns their skin through the thin air, and the bright light from the snow hurts their eyes. Because they have nausea (恶心) and indigestion, they don’t want to eat, and that makes them weaker. In the dry air, they feel thirsty all the time. Climbing on Everest also affects the brain. ____49____ Scientists have tested this by speaking to climbers with radios. They ask questions like, “If John is taller than Tom, who is shorter?” This is probably very easy for you to answer. But at the top of Everest, climbers have to think a long time to find the answer, and they often make mistakes. Because the climbers can’t think well, they sometimes make bad decisions and get into accidents. Even with all these difficulties, more than 2,500 people have reached the top of Mount Everest. ____50____ Now, almost all climbers breathe from oxygen tanks. They use radios to communicate with people at the bottom, so they can get advice if they’re not thinking clearly. There are medicines to help them with headaches and lung problems. A. But Mount Everest is still one of the most difficult and dangerous environments on Earth. B. As they get closer to the top of the mountain, climbers feel worse and worse. C. Your brain thinks very slowly, because it doesn’t have enough oxygen. D. Scientists have found ways to solve some of their problems. E. Only the strongest bodies can survive up there in the Death Zone. F. The heart must beat faster to move the blood through the body. 【答案】47. F 48. B 49. C 50. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。登山者把海拔7000米以上的部分称为“死亡地带”，文章介绍了登山者在珠峰顶端会遇到的问题以及现有的解决方法。 【47题详解】 根据前文“On top of Everest, climbers must breathe 70 to 80 times a minute to get enough oxygen. (在珠峰顶端，登山者每分钟必须呼吸70到80次才能获得足够的氧气)”和后文“Other parts of the body work very slowly, to save energy. (为了节省能量，身体的其他部位工作得非常缓慢)”可知，此处是讲在珠峰顶端工作时，要比正常情况下运转快速的器官，所以选项F“心脏必须跳动得更快才能使血液在全身流动。”切合文意。故选F。 【48题详解】 根据后文“They have insomnia (失眠), so they always feel tired. They get very bad headaches. The sun burns their skin through the thin air, and the bright light from the snow hurts their eyes. (他们失眠，所以他们总是感到疲倦。他们头痛得很厉害。太阳透过稀薄的空气灼伤了他们的皮肤，从雪里发出的亮光刺痛了他们的眼睛)”可知，此处是讲登山者在海拔高处的不适症状，所以选项B“越接近山顶，攀登者的感觉就越差。”切合文意。故选B。 【49题详解】 根据后文“But at the top of Everest, climbers have to think a long time to find the answer, and they often make mistakes. (但是在珠穆朗玛峰的顶端，登山者要想很长时间才能找到答案，他们经常会犯错误)”可知，此处是讲在海拔高处登山者的大脑思考会很慢，所以选项C“你的大脑思考得很慢，因为它没有足够的氧气。”切合文意。故选C。 【50题详解】 根据后文“Now, almost all climbers breathe from oxygen tanks. They use radios to communicate with people at the bottom, so they can get advice if they’re not thinking clearly. There are medicines to help them with headaches and lung problems. (现在，几乎所有的登山者都靠氧气瓶呼吸。他们用无线电与山底的人沟通，这样他们在思考不清楚的时候就能得到建议。有一些药物可以帮助他们治疗头痛和肺部问题)”可知，此处是讲决登山者在海拔高处遇到困难时的，可以采取的一些措施，所以选项D“科学家们已经找到了解决他们一些问题的方法。”切合文意。故选D。 Section D(10%) Directions: Fill in the blanks with the appropriate forms of the given expressions to complete the passage.

A. controversial B. established C. independent D. profitable Section B(22%) Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A) Grown-ups are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practiced ever since. A man who has not had a chance to go swimming for years can still swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water. He can get on a bicycle after many years and still ride away. He can play catch and hit a ball as well as his son. A mother who has not thought about the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins “Twinkle, twinkle, little star” or remember the story of Cinderella or Goldilocks and the Three Bears. One explanation is the law of overlearning, which can be stated as follows: Once we have learned something, additional learning experiences increase the length of time we will remember it. In childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming, bicycle riding, and playing baseball long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and remind ourselves of words such as “Twinkle, twinkle, little star” and childhood tales such as Cinderella and Goldilocks. We not only learn but overlearn. The multiplication tables(乘法口诀表) are an exception to the general rule that we forget rather quickly the things that we learn in school, because they are another of the things we overlearn in childhood. The law of overlearning explains why cramming(突击学习) for an examination, though it may result in a passing grade, is not a satisfactory way to learn a college course. By cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination, but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned. A little overlearning, on the other hand, is really necessary for one’s future development. 36. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 1? A. Stories for children are easy to remember. B. Children have a better memory than grown-ups. C. Poem reading is a good way to learn words. D. People remember well what they learned in childhood. 37. The author explains the law of overlearning by _______. A. presenting research findings B. setting down general rules C. using examples D. making a comparison 38. According to the author, being able to use multiplication tables is _______. A. a result of overlearning B. a special case of cramming C. a skill to deal with math problems D. a basic step towards advanced studies 39. What is the author’s opinion on cramming? A. It leads to failure in college exams. B. It’s helpful only in a limited way. C. It’s possible to result in poor memory. D. It increases students’ learning interest.

Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. In the Death Zone of Mount Everest Mountain climbers call the part of a mountain over 7,000 meters the Death Zone. The human body can’t live for very long at this height, because the air is too thin and there isn’t enough oxygen. Mount Everest, the world’s highest mountain, is 8,848 meters high. What happens to the bodies of people who climb it? Their lungs have to work very hard. Normally, people breathe about 20 times every minute when they are resting. On top of Everest, climbers must breathe 70 to 80 times a minute to get enough oxygen. ____47____ Other parts of the body work very slowly, to save energy. For example, the stomach stops digesting food. ____48____ They have insomnia (失眠), so they always feel tired. They get very bad headaches. The sun burns their skin through the thin air, and the bright light from the snow hurts their eyes. Because they have nausea (恶心) and indigestion, they don’t want to eat, and that makes them weaker. In the dry air, they feel thirsty all the time. Climbing on Everest also affects the brain. ____49____ Scientists have tested this by speaking to climbers with radios. They ask questions like, “If John is taller than Tom, who is shorter?” This is probably very easy for you to answer. But at the top of Everest, climbers have to think a long time to find the answer, and they often make mistakes. Because the climbers can’t think well, they sometimes make bad decisions and get into accidents. Even with all these difficulties, more than 2,500 people have reached the top of Mount Everest. ____50____ Now, almost all climbers breathe from oxygen tanks. They use radios to communicate with people at the bottom, so they can get advice if they’re not thinking clearly. There are medicines to help them with headaches and lung problems. A. But Mount Everest is still one of the most difficult and dangerous environments on Earth. B. As they get closer to the top of the mountain, climbers feel worse and worse. C. Your brain thinks very slowly, because it doesn’t have enough oxygen. D. Scientists have found ways to solve some of their problems. E. Only the strongest bodies can survive up there in the Death Zone. F. The heart must beat faster to move the blood through the body.
