Mom was cooking lunch in the kitchen, and she could hear her girls arguing over something. The voices were getting louder. A few minutes later, Maria went through the kitchen quickly and closed the door as she left.
“Come back here, my girl,” Mom said in a calm voice. Maria turned around and came back into the kitchen.
“I don’t want to talk to Felicia again!” Maria said. Her face turned red with anger.
Mom called out, “Felicia, come to the kitchen right now.”
Felicia slowly walked into the kitchen with her arms crossed tightly. Then, Mom took two of the kitchen chairs and put them opposite each other but very close together.
“Maria, you sit here and Felicia, you sit there.” The girls sat down facing each other. “Now you look each other in the eye for five minutes,” Mom said.
The sisters both said no, but Mom insisted that they must do so for five minutes. If they didn’t make eye contact, they would sit on the chairs longer. They both wanted out, so all they could do was sit there and look at each other.
Felicia and Maria looked at each other’s angry faces. They each thought the other one looked funny! Soon, Maria couldn’t stand it any longer and started laughing and so did Felicia. They laughed and laughed.
Seeing this, Mom said, “Okay, girls, you can go now.” The sisters smiled at each other and promised to be more patient next time.

Sunshine does make people happier. Imagine how cheerful you are when it clears up after long cold rainy days. Let’s discover science behind sunlight.
Sunlight causes you to produce a chemical (化学物质) called serotonin (血清素). When you are exposed to sunlight, your body will make more serotonin. Higher levels of serotonin will keep you in good spirits. At night, when there is little or no light, your body produces another chemical—melatonin (褪黑激素). It helps your body relax and will make you feel tired, which can prepare you for a good night’s sleep. You should keep a good balance between these two chemicals.
However, for many people, it is hard to balance sunlight with darkness. People who stay indoors a lot may not get enough sunlight. The light in a house is usually about 100 times less than that outside on a sunny day. That’s why it is believed that those people should get outside in the sunshine. They can get some exercise, enjoy the fresh air and be happy, all at the same time.
There are places where it gets dark for a long time in the winter. People in those places are more likely to get seasonal affective disorder (SAD). People with SAD usually go through bad experiences such as low energy and sadness. The most common treatment for those people is to sit under bright artificial (人工的) lights for some time.
The roles that sunshine plays in people’s life are more than those above. Your body produces vitamin D (维生素 D) from sunlight, which is important for being healthy. In fact, there is more science about sunlight for you to discover. So next time, when you notice the sunshine on your shoulder, take a moment to think, “Why do we love sunshine?”
根据材料内容选择最佳答案。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了阳光对人体情绪、健康的影响,包括血清素、褪黑激素的作用,以及季节性情感障碍的应对方法。
【11题详解】
原文第二段提到“When you are exposed to sunlight, your body will make more serotonin.”,结合语境“are exposed to”意为“暴露在、接触”,与“stay in the sun”意思相近。
【12题详解】

“Blue Mind” explains how people feel when they are near water. ____16____ In this phrase, it suggests both the color of water and a feeling of quiet.
The color blue is also sometimes about a feeling of safety. ____17____ A True Blue friend is honest and worth trusting.
____18____ If you win top prize, you win a Blue Ribbon (丝带). Sometimes you get a piece of cloth that is the color blue. But you can also just describe something that is excellent with “Blue Ribbon”—such as a “Blue Ribbon restaurant”.
But in some other English expressions, the word “blue” is related to some more ideas. If you have the Blues, you are sad, even upset. The website Word Histories says that this sad meaning appeared in a story in England in the 1400s.____19____ Hopefully, those low times do not come very often—perhaps once in a blue moon. This expression has come to mean seldom happening. It refers to the unusual times when one month includes two full moons.
Let’s say you and your business partner had set up a new store. You thought you were working well together. So, the news that she was leaving to take a new job was a Bolt from the Blue (晴天霹雳). ____20____
So, what does the color blue mean for you? After all, every culture and every person reacts (反应) to colors differently.
根据材料内容,从下面五个选项中选出能填入文中空缺处的最佳选项,使文章意思通顺、内容完整。
A. In some expressions, blue means being the best.
B. The idea is that bolt appears in a clear sky.
C. Such times were called “low times”.

【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了英语中颜色“蓝色”在不同习语中的多重含义,包括平静、忠诚、优秀、悲伤以及意外等。
【16题详解】
前文提到“Blue Mind”解释了人们在水边时的感受,后文紧接着说在这个短语中,它暗示了水的颜色和一种安静的感觉,空缺处需要具体说明这种感受是什么。D项“It means a sense of calm and happiness when one is near the water.”与前后文衔接自然,解释了“Blue Mind”的具体含义。
【17题详解】
前文提到蓝色有时也关于一种安全感,后文紧接着举例说“A True Blue friend is honest and worth trusting.”,空缺处需要引出并解释“True Blue”这个表达,与“安全/可信赖”相关。E项“If you call someone True Blue, you mean you can depend on him or her completely.”与前后文逻辑一致,具体解释了前文的“安全感”在人际关系中的体现。
【18题详解】
本段讲蓝色与“优秀”相关,后文举例“‘蓝丝带餐厅’”,此处应总述在某些表达中蓝色意味着最佳。A项“In some expressions, blue means being the best.”作为本段的主题句,概括了后文的内容。
【19题详解】
前文提到“the Blues”代表悲伤,并提到了这个含义出现的背景,后文紧接着说“Hopefully, those low times do not come very often...”,空缺处需要承接前文的悲伤语境,并引出后文提到的“low times”。C项“Such times were called ‘low times’.”与前后文衔接自然,解释了“Blues”这种表达的历史背景。
【20题详解】
前文提到合作伙伴离开的消息简直是“晴天霹雳”,空缺处紧接着应该解释这个习语的字面意义或来源。B项“The idea is that bolt appears in a clear sky.”与前后文逻辑一致,说明了“Bolt from the Blue”这种表达的意象。

【导语】本文主要讲述了乞丐Clark向伐木工人求助,Kent没有直接给他食物,而是教他砍柴赚钱,帮助他学会自食其力的故事。
【21题详解】
句意:一天很热,伐木工人正在树下吃午饭,这时一个乞丐朝他们走来。
根据语境,空前为“were eating their lunch”,空后为“a beggar came walking towards them”,此处表示“正在做某事,这时……”,应用when。though“尽管”、unless“除非”和after“在……之后”均不合语境。
【22题详解】
句意:乞丐说:“我叫Clark,我很饿。”
根据下文“a little of your lunch”可知,他想要一些午饭,说明他很饿,应用hungry。shy“害羞的”、sleepy“困倦的”和thirsty“口渴的”均不合语境。

【27题详解】
句意:我可以把斧子借给你,并教你砍柴。
根据后文“Kent explained how to cut wood”可知,Kent给Clark解释怎样砍柴,所以此处表示教他砍柴,应用teach。leave“离开”、advise“建议”和let“让”均不合语境。
【28题详解】
句意:你就会有一个给自己买食物的好机会。
空格后为“of buying yourself food”,表示买食物的机会,应用chance。game“游戏”、excuse“借口”和place“地方”均不合语境。

根据空后“as Kent explained how to cut wood”可知,Clark要学习如何砍柴,所以应是认真地看,应用carefully。coldly“冷淡地”、secretly“秘密地”和doubtfully“怀疑地”均不合语境。
【30题详解】
句意:Clark一开始很慢,但几个小时后,他开始更快地砍柴。
根据后文“but hours later, he began to cut wood more quickly”可知,前后形成转折,后面说变快了,所以一开始很慢,应用slow。silent“沉默的”、crazy“疯狂的”和serious“严肃的”均不合语境。
【31题详解】
句意:一天结束时,三个人带着他们砍的木头走向市场。
根据空后“the wood that they had cut”可知,他们带着砍好的木头去市场,应用carrying。passing“经过”、storing“储存”和throwing“扔”均不合语境。
【32题详解】

根据前文“sell the wood”和后文“I have never had so much money in my life”可知,他们的木头卖完了,应用sold out。passed away“去世”、given away“赠送”和used up“用完”均不合语境。
【33题详解】
句意:Clark兴奋地说:“看这个!”
根据后文“It’s amazing! I have never had so much money in my life!”可知,Clark看到赚到的钱很兴奋,应用excitement。attention“注意”、shame“羞愧”和patience“耐心”均不合语境。
【34题详解】
句意:毕竟,这是你的第一次尝试。
根据前文Clark第一次砍柴赚钱可知,这是他的第一次尝试,应用try。trip“旅行”、plan“计划”和order“命令”均不合语境。
【35题详解】
句意:然后他带Clark去镇上的一家商店,帮他挑选了一把斧子。
根据空前“took Clark to a shop in the town”和空后“an ax”可知,去商店是为了挑选一把斧子,应用choose。return“归还”、repair“修理”和clean“打扫”均不合语境。

“I don’t want to talk to Felicia again!” Maria said. Her face turned red with anger.
Mom called out, “Felicia, come to the kitchen right now.”
Felicia slowly walked into the kitchen with her arms crossed tightly. Then, Mom took two of the kitchen chairs and put them opposite each other but very close together.
“Maria, you sit here and Felicia, you sit there.” The girls sat down facing each other. “Now you look each other in the eye for five minutes,” Mom said.
The sisters both said no, but Mom insisted that they must do so for five minutes. If they didn’t make eye contact, they would sit on the chairs longer. They both wanted out, so all they could do was sit there and look at each other.

Sunshine does make people happier. Imagine how cheerful you are when it clears up after long cold rainy days. Let’s discover science behind sunlight.
Sunlight causes you to produce a chemical (化学物质) called serotonin (血清素). When you are exposed to sunlight, your body will make more serotonin. Higher levels of serotonin will keep you in good spirits. At night, when there is little or no light, your body produces another chemical—melatonin (褪黑激素). It helps your body relax and will make you feel tired, which can prepare you for a good night’s sleep. You should keep a good balance between these two chemicals.
However, for many people, it is hard to balance sunlight with darkness. People who stay indoors a lot may not get enough sunlight. The light in a house is usually about 100 times less than that outside on a sunny day. That’s why it is believed that those people should get outside in the sunshine. They can get some exercise, enjoy the fresh air and be happy, all at the same time.
There are places where it gets dark for a long time in the winter. People in those places are more likely to get seasonal affective disorder (SAD). People with SAD usually go through bad experiences such as low energy and sadness. The most common treatment for those people is to sit under bright artificial (人工的) lights for some time.
The roles that sunshine plays in people’s life are more than those above. Your body produces vitamin D (维生素 D) from sunlight, which is important for being healthy. In fact, there is more science about sunlight for you to discover. So next time, when you notice the sunshine on your shoulder, take a moment to think, “Why do we love sunshine?”
根据材料内容选择最佳答案。
11. Which of the following can take the place of “are exposed to” in the text?
A. stay in the sun B. care about C. dream of D. depend on
12. What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about?
A. What can help people to stay in good spirits.
B. How light influences people through chemicals.
C. Why melatonin can help people relax and sleep.
D. Which chemical is thought to be more important.
13. Which of the following is an opinion according to the text?
A. There are places where it gets dark for a long time in the winter.
B. People who stay indoors a lot should get outside in the sunshine.
C. The light in a house is usually less than that outside on a sunny day.
D. People’s bodies produce something called vitamin D from sunlight.
14. Jack is a person with SAD. How could he solve his problem according to the text?
A. By staying indoors a lot. B. By taking in more fresh air.
C. By doing some exercise. D. By using “man-made lights.
15. Why is the sentence “Why do we love sunshine?” written in the last paragraph?

B. To advise readers to stay in houses for enough time.
C. To expect readers to realize the importance of vitamin D.
