Hugs a tricky affair
We Chinese are not big huggers. A handshake or a pat on the shoulder is enough to convey our friendship or affection to one another. So when our newly-acquainted Western friends reach out in preparation for a hug, some of us feel awkward.
Many questions go through our heads. Where should I put my arms? Under their armpits or around their neck? What distance should I maintain? Should our chests touch?
It’s even more difficult with friends from some European countries. Should I kiss them on the cheek while hugging? Which side? Or is it both cheeks? Which side should I start on?
But it isn’t just people from cultures that emphasize a reservedness in expressing physical intimacy who find hugging confusing. Hugs can cause discomfort or even distress in people who value their personal space.
In a recent article for The Wall Street Journal, US psychologist Peggy Drexler said that although the US remains a “medium touch” culture — “more physically demonstrative than Japan, where a bow is the all-purpose hello and goodbye, but less demonstrative than Latin or Eastern European cultures, where hugs are robust and can include a kiss on both cheeks”, Americans do seem to be hugging more.
From politicians to celebrities, hugs are given willy-nilly to friends, strangers and enemies alike; and the public has been quick to pick up the practice.
Public figures know that nothing projects likeability like a good hug. US First Lady Michelle Obama has put her arms around icy foreign leaders like Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev and the Queen of England, on the latter occasion breaching royal protocol.
Pop superstar Lady Gaga is also a hug enthusiast, telling her fans that “I will always, always, try my very best to wrap my arms around you when I meet you.”
But not all are grateful to be embraced, even by the most influential and famous. To them, any hug is offensive if it’s not sincere.
Amanda Hess, writing for US magazine Slate, says public figures should stop imposing hugs on everyone they meet. For them, a hug is rarely a gesture of sincere fellowship, compassion or affection. It’s all part of a show. Hugs are falsely intimate power plays used by public figures to establish their social dominance over those in their grasp.
Cecilia Walden, a British journalist writing for The Telegraph who lives in New York, holds the same opinion. “Power-hugging”, as she calls it, is “an assault dressed up as kindness”. It has become a fad in the US where “bosses are already cuddling their staff (either shortly before or after firing them), [and] men and women their frenemies, in a thousand fraudulent displays of solidarity”.
26. From the first four paragraphs, we can see that ________.
A. we Chinese people don’t know how to hug
B. people from European countries often get puzzled about hugging
C. people in Western countries seldom use hugs to express their physical closeness
D. hugs can bring pressure to people when used improperly
27. The example of US first lady Michelle Obama is given to show that _________.
A. Americans hold a “medium touch” culture
B. public figures know hugging functions well in public
C. she is much liked by American people
D. hugs are forbidden in England
28. What does the underlined word “willy-nilly” in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. 随机地 B. 谨慎地 C. 难得地 D. 亲密地
29. What’s Amanda Hess’s attitude towards the hug behavior of public figures?
A. Positive. B. Supportive. C. Indifferent. D. Disapproving.
30. What can be the best title for the passage?
A. Hugs, vital or not? B. Hugs, tricky affair?
C. Hugs and public figures. D. Hugs and power.
【答案】26. D 27. B 28. A 29. D 30. B
【解析】
【导语】本文主要概述了拥抱在西方文化中的用途和拥抱时的注意事项,如果没用利用好拥抱,就会造成不必要的误解和麻烦。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。由第四段可知并非只有来自强调在表达身体亲密行为时要保守的文化的人才会觉得拥抱令人困惑。对于重视个人空间的人来说,拥抱可能会引起不适甚至痛苦。故选D。
【27题详解】
细节理解题。由第七段第一句“Public figures know that nothing projects likeability like a good hug.”可知公众人物都知道,没有什么比一个温暖的拥抱更能体现人们的喜爱了。故选B。
【28题详解】
词义猜测题。由划线词所在的段落可知“公众人物会把拥抱给朋友、陌生人甚至是敌人”,可知这种拥抱别人的方式是很“随机地”,故选A。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。由倒数第二段“public figures should stop imposing hugs on everyone they meet. For them, a hug is rarely a gesture of sincere fellowship, compassion or affection. It’s all part of a show.”可知Amanda Hess认为“公众人物应该停止拥抱他们遇到的每个人。对他们来说,拥抱很少是真诚的友谊、同情或感情的表示。这都是表演的一部分。”所以她并不支持公众人物拥抱其他人,故选D。
【30题详解】
最佳标题题。本文主要概述了拥抱在西方文化中的用途和拥抱时的注意事项,如果没用利用好拥抱,就会造成不必要的误解和麻烦,所以拥抱是一件麻烦的事。故选B。
C

Detective returns
He may look like an elementary schoolboy, but you can count on him to solve the most complicated criminal cases. You shouldn’t need any additional clues to figure out the name of this detective – it’s Conan Edogawa.
A leading character in Japanese manga and anime, Detective Conan was originally a 17-year-old high school student detective Shinichi Kudo. But one day, during an investigation, he was poisoned by two men from the Black Organization and his body shrank to the size of a child’s. Fortunately, he kept his intelligence.
With the help of Hiroshi Agasa, his scientist neighbor, Conan proves that being a hero has nothing to do with size, but everything to do with having a sharp mind and a brave heart.
On April 16, Detective Conan: The Darkest Nightmare came out in Japan. It is the 20th part of the film series based on the manga of the same title. Conan has to deal with a mysterious case in each film, but the one he is waiting to deal with is arguably the most difficult.
It starts on a dark night when a spy breaks into Japan’s police headquarters and finds a secret file on spies put in the Black Organization by many intelligence agencies, including the UK’s MI6 and the US’ CIA and FBI. Just before this spy can steal the files, public safety officers led by Tooru Amuro arrive in time. But the spy steals a car and escapes. The spy and Amuro then race down the highway. As it is about to cause an accident with multiple cars, the spy’s car is hit by an FBI agent’s bullet and falls off the road.
The next day, Conan and his friends go to a newly-decorated aquarium in Tokyo. Under the main attraction, a Ferris wheel, Conan finds a woman alone and injured. She is suffering from memory loss so she doesn’t even remember her name. Her phone is broken. Conan and his friends promise to help her get her memories back, so they stay with her. Unknown to them, the head of the Black Organization is watching behind the scenes.
As is normal for Conan stories, the film twists and turns before Conan finally sleuths his way out of the situation. This style of storytelling allows viewers to work out the mystery along with the characters, one of the keys to the franchise’s continued success. If you’re a Sherlock Holmes fan (as Conan is), this film should be a fun watch.
31. What happened to Shinichi Kudo during an investigation?
A. He was poisoned and turned into a child. B. He solved a complicated criminal case.
C. He became a famous detective. D. He lost his intelligence.
32. What helps Conan be a hero?
①The height ②A sharp mind ③A brave mind ④The weight
A. ①② B. ②③ C. ③④ D. ①④
33. What does the underlined word “spy” mean?
A. 蝴蝶 B. 间谍 C. 警察 D. 罪犯
34. Which one of the statement is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Conan is the other name of Sherlock Holmes.
B. 19 film series about Conan were made before The Darkest Nightmare.
C. The injured woman was found in the Japan’s police headquarters.
D. The Darkest Nightmare is the last one of this film series.
35. What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. How to help Conan turn back to Shinichi Kudo.
B. Conan helps the injured woman get her memories back.
C. What secrets are in the Japan’s police headquarters.
D. A brief introduction of new film series of Conan.
【答案】31. A 32. B 33. B 34. B 35. D
【解析】
【导语】本文介绍了柯南系列新电影《名侦探柯南:纯黑的噩梦》的相关信息。
【31题详解】
细节理解题。由第二段第二句“But one day, during an investigation, he was poisoned by two men from the Black Organization and his body shrank to the size of a child’s.”可知在一次调查中,他被黑人组织的两名男子下毒,他的身体缩小到一个孩子的大小。故选A。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。由第三段“Conan proves that being a hero has nothing to do with size, but everything to do with having a sharp mind and a brave heart.”可知柯南证明了成为英雄与体型无关,而与拥有敏锐的头脑和勇敢的心有关。故为②③,所以选B。
【33题详解】
词义猜测题。由第五段“It starts on a dark night when a spy breaks into Japan’s police headquarters”可知一名间谍闯入日本警察总部,故划线词意思为间谍,故选B。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。由第四段第二句“It is the 20th part of the film series based on the manga of the same title.”可知这是根据同名漫画改编的电影系列的第20部分。故在这部电影前已经拍了19部电影,故选B。
【35题详解】

They are ____57____ of the Dongcang Drum Music Society playing the guyue, which started in the Tang Dynasty. At first, guyue only ____58____ wind instruments and percussion instruments (打击乐器). ____59____, string instruments such as zheng and pipa were also added.
“Guyue is our own music from ____60____ China,” said Qi Xingfeng, the manager of the Dongcang Drum Music Society. “It has been played ____61____ over 1,000 years and now we add modern performance things such as stories, sound and light to make guyue more enjoyable,” Qi explained.

【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了西安东仓鼓乐社的乐手们如何通过创新表演和直播,让源自中国古代的传统音乐“鼓乐”重新焕发生机,被更多年轻人了解和喜爱。
【56题详解】
句意:20名乐手穿着唐代风格的传统服饰,演奏传统乐器。空处修饰名词clothes,需要形容词。结合上下文“唐代”和“传统乐器”,用traditional“传统的” 最贴合语境,表示“传统服饰”。
【57题详解】
句意:他们是东仓鼓乐社的成员,演奏始于唐代的鼓乐。主语是复数They,空格需要复数名词作表语,结合“Dongcang Drum Music Society鼓乐社” 这一组织,此处表示“社团成员”,member“成员”变为复数members符合语法语义。
【58题详解】
句意:最初,鼓乐只包含管乐器和打击乐器。句子缺少谓语,主语 guyue 与 “wind instruments and percussion instruments” 的关系是“包含”,且“At first”表示过去的情况,需要用一般过去时,include“包含”变为过去式included。
【59题详解】
句意:后来,古筝、琵琶这类弦乐器也被加入进来。前文提到“At first”(最初),此处讲之后的变化,需要副词表示“后来”,later符合语义,句首首字母大写,即Later。
【60题详解】
句意:鼓乐是源自古代中国的本土音乐。空格处需要形容词修饰China,鼓乐起源于唐代,属于古代中国的音乐,ancient“古代的”符合语义。
【61题详解】
句意:鼓乐已经被演奏传承了超过一千年。本句是现在完成时,空格后是时间段“over 1,000 years”,现在完成时中引出时间段要用介词for,符合语法。
【62题详解】
句意:东仓鼓乐社做的另一件事,是向更多年轻人传播鼓乐。此处是不定式to后接动词原形,后文提到社团做直播吸引年轻人,所以目的是传播推广鼓乐,spread“传播”符合语法语义。
【63题详解】
句意:对我来说这是非常令人欣喜的信号——我们的鼓乐真的正在回归了。前文提到“Many children’s parents have reached out to us that they want their children to learn guyue.”很多家长想让孩子学鼓乐,说明鼓乐重新回到大众视野,come back是固定搭配,意为“回归、复苏”,back符合搭配语义。
【64题详解】
句意:社团里大多数成员都处于二十多岁到三十多岁的年纪。“in one’s + 整十数复数”是固定搭配,表示“在某人几十岁时”,主语是复数Most of the members,需要形容词性物主代词,they变为对应的物主代词their符合语法。
【65题详解】
句意:如今,新成员大多都毕业于音乐院校。
空格需要副词修饰动词graduated,此处是介绍新成员的毕业情况,结合备选词,most的副词形式mostly“主要地、大多”符合语境,表示“大多毕业于音乐学院”。
第二节
根据短文内容,在空格处填入一个恰当的词,使短文意思完整、语法正确。
Solar power has many advantages. First, it’s natural. It uses sunlight ____66____ will never run out. Second, it’s friendly ____67____ the environment as it produces no air pollution.

69. are 70. in
【解析】
【导语】本文介绍了太阳能的众多优点、现存局限,以及全球太阳能的应用现状与广阔发展前景。
【66题详解】
句意:首先,它取自自然,它使用永远不会耗尽的太阳光。 先行词为sunlight(物),关系代词在从句中作主语,可用which/that来引导从句。
【67题详解】
句意:其次,它对环境友好,不会产生空气污染。 固定搭配be friendly to,意为 “对……友好”,故填介词to。
【68题详解】
句意:最后,太阳能板几乎不需要维护,并且可以稳定工作25到30年。 前后两个分句为并列顺承关系,用并列连词and连接两个并列谓语。
【69题详解】
句意:为了解决这个问题,科学家们正在研发更好的系统来储存更多能源。 本句为现在进行时be+doing结构,主语scientists是复数,be动词对应变为are。
【70题详解】
句意:现在全世界的人们正在用巧妙的方式使用太阳能。 考查固定搭配in ... ways,意为“以……的方式”,故填介词in。

【答案】71. What’s the matter

74. Do you often talk with your mother

【解析】
【导语】本文是两个人在谈论B遇到的问题,A给出建议的对话。
【71题详解】
根据“Well, I love music, but my mother doesn’t allow me to listen to it.”可知,此处A看到B看起来难过,应该询问B怎么了。故填What’s the matter。
【72题详解】
根据“Because she thinks listening to music is not good for my study.”可知,此处是A询问B妈妈不允许她听音乐的原因,所以应该问“为什么”。故填Why。
【73题详解】
根据“I also love music. It makes me relaxed and helps me study better.”可知,A不同意B妈妈认为听音乐对学习不好的观点,所以此处应该表达“我不这么认为”。故填I don’t think so。

【75题详解】
根据“I think communicating with each other is a better way. You can have a talk with your mother.”以及“Thanks for your advice.”可知,A给出了和B妈妈交流的建议,B应该对建议表示接受并感谢,所以此处可以回答“好的,我会的”。故填OK, I will。

【语篇来自二十一世纪学生英文报·试题原创】
Hugs a tricky affair
We Chinese are not big huggers. A handshake or a pat on the shoulder is enough to convey our friendship or affection to one another. So when our newly-acquainted Western friends reach out in preparation for a hug, some of us feel awkward.
Many questions go through our heads. Where should I put my arms? Under their armpits or around their neck? What distance should I maintain? Should our chests touch?
It’s even more difficult with friends from some European countries. Should I kiss them on the cheek while hugging? Which side? Or is it both cheeks? Which side should I start on?
But it isn’t just people from cultures that emphasize a reservedness in expressing physical intimacy who find hugging confusing. Hugs can cause discomfort or even distress in people who value their personal space.
In a recent article for The Wall Street Journal, US psychologist Peggy Drexler said that although the US remains a “medium touch” culture — “more physically demonstrative than Japan, where a bow is the all-purpose hello and goodbye, but less demonstrative than Latin or Eastern European cultures, where hugs are robust and can include a kiss on both cheeks”, Americans do seem to be hugging more.
From politicians to celebrities, hugs are given willy-nilly to friends, strangers and enemies alike; and the public has been quick to pick up the practice.
Public figures know that nothing projects likeability like a good hug. US First Lady Michelle Obama has put her arms around icy foreign leaders like Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev and the Queen of England, on the latter occasion breaching royal protocol.
Pop superstar Lady Gaga is also a hug enthusiast, telling her fans that “I will always, always, try my very best to wrap my arms around you when I meet you.”
But not all are grateful to be embraced, even by the most influential and famous. To them, any hug is offensive if it’s not sincere.
Amanda Hess, writing for US magazine Slate, says public figures should stop imposing hugs on everyone they meet. For them, a hug is rarely a gesture of sincere fellowship, compassion or affection. It’s all part of a show. Hugs are falsely intimate power plays used by public figures to establish their social dominance over those in their grasp.
Cecilia Walden, a British journalist writing for The Telegraph who lives in New York, holds the same opinion. “Power-hugging”, as she calls it, is “an assault dressed up as kindness”. It has become a fad in the US where “bosses are already cuddling their staff (either shortly before or after firing them), [and] men and women their frenemies, in a thousand fraudulent displays of solidarity”.
26. From the first four paragraphs, we can see that ________.
A. we Chinese people don’t know how to hug
B. people from European countries often get puzzled about hugging
C. people in Western countries seldom use hugs to express their physical closeness
D. hugs can bring pressure to people when used improperly
27. The example of US first lady Michelle Obama is given to show that _________.
A. Americans hold a “medium touch” culture
B. public figures know hugging functions well in public
C. she is much liked by American people
D. hugs are forbidden in England

Detective returns
He may look like an elementary schoolboy, but you can count on him to solve the most complicated criminal cases. You shouldn’t need any additional clues to figure out the name of this detective – it’s Conan Edogawa.
A leading character in Japanese manga and anime, Detective Conan was originally a 17-year-old high school student detective Shinichi Kudo. But one day, during an investigation, he was poisoned by two men from the Black Organization and his body shrank to the size of a child’s. Fortunately, he kept his intelligence.
With the help of Hiroshi Agasa, his scientist neighbor, Conan proves that being a hero has nothing to do with size, but everything to do with having a sharp mind and a brave heart.
On April 16, Detective Conan: The Darkest Nightmare came out in Japan. It is the 20th part of the film series based on the manga of the same title. Conan has to deal with a mysterious case in each film, but the one he is waiting to deal with is arguably the most difficult.
It starts on a dark night when a spy breaks into Japan’s police headquarters and finds a secret file on spies put in the Black Organization by many intelligence agencies, including the UK’s MI6 and the US’ CIA and FBI. Just before this spy can steal the files, public safety officers led by Tooru Amuro arrive in time. But the spy steals a car and escapes. The spy and Amuro then race down the highway. As it is about to cause an accident with multiple cars, the spy’s car is hit by an FBI agent’s bullet and falls off the road.
The next day, Conan and his friends go to a newly-decorated aquarium in Tokyo. Under the main attraction, a Ferris wheel, Conan finds a woman alone and injured. She is suffering from memory loss so she doesn’t even remember her name. Her phone is broken. Conan and his friends promise to help her get her memories back, so they stay with her. Unknown to them, the head of the Black Organization is watching behind the scenes.
As is normal for Conan stories, the film twists and turns before Conan finally sleuths his way out of the situation. This style of storytelling allows viewers to work out the mystery along with the characters, one of the keys to the franchise’s continued success. If you’re a Sherlock Holmes fan (as Conan is), this film should be a fun watch.
