Here’s a guide to the best places to catch a live blues show in Austin, Texas, “the live music capital of the world”.
The Continental Club
Known as “the granddaddy of all local Austin music clubs,” the Continental Club never sees a slow night. Tourists and locals alike can’t resist its charm, which has remained close to its blue origins since it opened in 1955. In addition to its location in the heart of the city, this landmark is proud to offer live blue music shows every single night of the week.
Antone’s Nightclub
You can’t have a discussion about Austin’s blues scene without mentioning Antone’s. Opened by Clifford Antone in 1975, this world-famous nightclub has lived up to its fame as “Austin’s home of the blues” for decades. Its walls are covered with the stories of past blues greats like BB King, Stevie Ray Vaughan, and ZZ Top, all of whom often performed on the nightclub’s stage in the blues’ best time of the 1970s and 1980s. While shows in the other clubs have grown more eclectic (兼收并蓄) over the years, Antone’s still holds to the blues tradition.
C-Boy’s Heart & Soul
If the downtown places are not your dish, wander down to C-Boy’s Heart & Soul. Opened in 2013 and hidden deep in the historic South Austin, it is a small and quiet place that delivers an endless supply of good mix of blues, soul, and R&B seven days a week. If you need a little break during the shows, be sure to wander out to the spacious game room for some of the latest games. C-Boy’s has its own parking lot, an unusual advantage over any music club in Austin.
1. When was the “granddaddy” born?
A. In 1955. B. In 1975.
C. In 1980. D. In 2013.
2. What can be learned about BB King?
A. He was one of the pioneers in blues.
B. He helped some of the greatest musicians.
C. He was the co-founder of a nightclub.
D. He often performed at Antone’s Nightclub.
3. What is unique about C-Boy’s Heart & Soul?
A. It offers various types of music.
B. It is best-known for traditional blues.
C. It is open every day of the week.
D. It has easy access to shopping centers.

【3题详解】

When computer network came into existence, it was extremely difficult to use. To read an online story, for example, you would need to know which network-equipped computer had the story you wanted and then connect your machine to the computer directly.
But on April 30, 1993, that all changed thanks to the invention of the World Wide Web. Since then, users just need to type in an address. More importantly, anyone can build their own “website”.
The World Wide Web was the brainchild of Tim Berners-Lee, a 37-year-old researcher at CERN, a physics lab in Switzerland. But Berners-Lee thought that keeping the technology as open as possible to the public would help it grow.
The decision led to a rapid growth of internet users. By the end of 1995, more than 24 million people in the US and Canada alone spent an average of 5 hours per week on the internet.
It’s hard not to wonder what life would look like today if Berners-Lee hadn’t decided to give away the invention. In a 1999 interview, Berners-Lee was asked why he never cashed in.
“Your question suggests that you just measure people’s value by their net worth,” he responded. “People are what they’ve done and what they stand for, rather than what they happen to have in the bank.”
Since the World Wide Web went public, it’s totally changed how we communicate, gather, work and learn. However, it’s also expanded the reach of disinformation. Berners-Lee even predicted (预见) this problem decades ago.
“I don’t mind there being false information out there,” he said in the same interview. “The important thing is that users should know that the webpages they see are written by people. In a way, the internet is a reflection of the real world. Users should learn to know whether they’re looking at disinformation or not.”
4. Why did Berners-Lee give away his invention?
A. He didn’t know it was valuable. B. He had too much money in the bank.
C. He was under pressure to do so. D. He probably wanted to popularize it.
5. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. The side effects of the internet. B. The protest from the public.
C. The significance of the decision. D. The advantages of the internet.
6. What did Berners-Lee suggest about the online disinformation?
A. It was unavoidable. B. It was totally unacceptable.
C. It should be stopped. D. It could be easily recognized.
7. Which of the following best describes Berners-Lee?
A. Ungrateful. B. Generous. C. Humorous. D. Irresponsible.
【答案】4. D 5. C 6. A 7. B
【解析】
【导语】万维网由伯纳斯·李发明并免费向公众开放,推动了互联网飞速发展。他认为人的价值不在于财富,也预见了网络虚假信息问题,提醒网民学会辨别。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“But Berners-Lee thought that keeping the technology as open as possible to the public would help it grow.(但伯纳斯·李认为,尽可能让公众能够使用这项技术,这将有助于其发展壮大)”可知,伯纳斯·李会将他的发明成果公开分享是为了将其推广普及。
【5题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段“The decision led to a rapid growth of internet users. By the end of 1995, more than 24 million people in the US and Canada alone spent an average of 5 hours per week on the internet.(这一决策促使互联网用户数量迅速增长。到 1995 年底,仅在美国和加拿大,就有超过 2400 万人平均每周上网 5 个小时)”可知,第四段主要讲的是该决定的意义。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段““I don’t mind there being false information out there,” he said in the same interview. “The important thing is that users should know that the webpages they see are written by people. In a way, the internet is a reflection of the real world. Users should learn to know whether they’re looking at disinformation or not.”(他在同一场采访中表示:“我不介意网上存在一些虚假信息。但重要的是,用户应该明白他们所看到的网页是由人撰写的。从某种程度上说,互联网反映了现实世界。用户应该学会辨别自己所看到的信息是真是假。”)”可知,伯纳斯-李认为网络虚假信息是不可避免的。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“It’s hard not to wonder what life would look like today if Berners-Lee hadn’t decided to give away the invention. In a 1999 interview, Berners-Lee was asked why he never cashed in.(很难不思考,倘若伯纳斯·李当初没有决定将这项发明无偿分享出去,如今的生活会是怎样的情形。在1999年的一次采访中,伯纳斯·李被问及为何他从未选择通过出售来获取收益)”可知,伯纳斯·李很慷慨。

Since Born to Run, a book about long-distance barefoot runners in Mexico, was published in 2009, walking barefoot has gained popularity around the world, again. Over the years, a growing number of studies continues to show that going barefoot can increase foot strength, improve balance and reduce risk of falls.
A recent study, which focuses on improving the design of modern footwear, has even found that our shoes have affected our movements and even changed the structure of our feet. “For example, most shoes have a quite narrow toe box,” it writes. “It means our toes are pressed together and we can’t use our feet naturally. This may contribute to poor balance and even arch collapse (扁平足) over time.”
While those studies about the barefoot movement are promising, don’t throw out all of the shoes just yet, warn other researchers. They argue that switching (切换) to barefoot walking too quickly can be a recipe for injuries since our feet have adapted to them and have lost some of their strength. Plus, our feet are now very sensitive to anything but smooth, soft ground.
“That’s like having your arm in a cast (石膏) for years, ”says John Mercer, professor at the University of Nevada. “Then take it off, and the first thing you do is go out and play a game of tennis.”
Instead, Mercer recommends starting slow. “First, try walking around the house and outside on a soft surface. Then, go for a short walk around the block. Add a bit more distance each week,” he suggests. “Your feet will tell you when you’ve had enough. If you experience any sharp pain, stop.”
8. What does the new study most probably aim to do?
A. Show the benefits of barefoot walking. B. Warn the risk of walking without shoes.
C. Provide guidelines for barefoot walkers. D. Study the problems of modern footwear.
9. Which of the following can replace the underlined words “be a recipe for” in paragraph 3?
A. Lead to. B. Keep track of. C. Take advantage of. D. Get through.
10. What does John Mercer mean?
A. We can protect our feet with a cast. B. We must toughen up our feet gradually.
C. We should go for other exercises first. D. We have to do warm-up exercises each time.
11. In which section of a newspaper will this text most probably appear?
A. Literature. B. Technology. C. Sports. D. Environment.
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. B 11. C
【解析】
【导语】主要说明了《天生就会跑》一书让光脚行走再度流行,研究指出鞋子存在弊端。但专家提醒不可骤然光脚走路,易受伤,建议循序渐进练习。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“A recent study, which focuses on improving the design of modern footwear, has even found that our shoes have affected our movements and even changed the structure of our feet.(最近的一项研究旨在改进现代鞋类的设计,该研究甚至发现我们的鞋子已经影响了我们的行动方式,并且还改变了我们的脚部结构)”可知,这项新研究最有可能旨在研究现代鞋类存在的问题。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“since our feet have adapted to them and have lost some of their strength(因为我们的双脚已经适应了鞋子的存在,并且失去了部分力量)”可知,因为我们的双脚已经适应了鞋子的存在,并且失去了部分力量,所以突然光脚走路容易引发受伤,故划线词意思是“导致”。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Instead, Mercer recommends starting slow. “First, try walking around the house and outside on a soft surface. Then, go for a short walk around the block. Add a bit more distance each week,” he suggests. “Your feet will tell you when you’ve had enough. If you experience any sharp pain, stop.”(相反,梅瑟建议要循序渐进地进行锻炼。“首先,试着在室内和户外的柔软地面上走动。然后,在街区周围走一段短距离。每周增加一点距离。”他建议道。“你的双脚会告诉你何时已经达到了极限。如果感到任何剧烈疼痛,就停止。”)”可知,约翰·默瑟的意思是我们必须逐渐增强脚部的力量。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Since Born to Run, a book about long-distance barefoot runners in Mexico, was published in 2009, walking barefoot has gained popularity around the world, again. Over the years, a growing number of studies continues to show that going barefoot can increase foot strength, improve balance and reduce risk of falls.(自2009年出版了《天生就会跑》(一本关于墨西哥长跑赤脚运动员的书籍)以来,赤脚行走这一行为在全球范围内再度流行起来。多年来,越来越多的研究不断表明,赤脚行走能够增强脚部力量、改善平衡能力并降低跌倒的风险)”结合文章围绕走路、脚部健康与运动相关内容展开,可知,这篇文章最有可能出现在报纸的“体育”版块。

Though Chicago has been well-known for marking St. Patrick’s Day by dyeing green the waterway flowing through the city since 1962, the tradition did not begin as an act of celebration. Instead, it was a part of the city’s effort to clean up the Chicago River, which had become so dirty and smelly that Upton Sinclair mentioned it in his famous novel The Jungle.
When Richard Daley took office in 1955, he was determined to develop the riverfront area and allowed city workers to use a special kind of green dye to find out where the waste water came from. In 1962, he was persuaded by his friend Stephen Bailey to dye the whole river to kick-start the official celebration of St. Patrick’s Day. Later, other cities, including San Antonio, Tampa, and Indianapolis, were inspired to adopt similar celebrations.
What you may not know, however, is that one year earlier, another city tried, unsuccessfully, to dye its river green for the Irish holiday. That city was Savannah. The greening effort failed because of the quickly moving tides. So the city dyed several of its fountains (喷泉) green, including the famous Forsyth Fountain.
“In the past, we accepted the practice in Chicago because there were larger problems facing the river. But as the health of the rivers has improved, perhaps it’s time to start considering new ideas,” said Margaret Frisbie, the manager of an environmental group.
Despite protests from environmental groups, the dyeing of rivers doesn’t seem to be going anywhere. Millions of people around the country braved the cold last weekend to celebrate and witness the annual tradition.
12. Why was the Chicago River dyed green during the 1950s?
A. To celebrate the St. Patrick’s Day. B. To experiment with a new dye.
C. To identify the source of the waste water. D. To cover up the dirty waste water.
13. Which was the first city to mark St. Patrick’s Day by dyeing the river green?
A. Savannah. B. Chicago. C. San Antonio. D. Tampa.
14. How does Margaret Frisbie feel about the new tradition in the US?
A. Excited. B. Worried. C. Unclear. D. Unconcerned.
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. When Did Americans Start Dyeing Rivers Green on St. Patrick’s Day?
B. Why Did Americans Dye the Chicago River Green on St. Patrick’s Day?
C. What Is Environmental Groups’ Response to the St. Patrick’s Day Traditions?
D. How Does Dyeing Rivers Green Become a St. Patrick’s Day Tradition in the US?
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. B 15. D
【解析】
【导语】文章完整讲述了“把河水染绿”这一活动如何一步步演变成美国圣帕特里克节传统,包括起源、发展、其他城市效仿、争议等内容。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“When Richard Daley took office in 1955, he was determined to develop the riverfront area and allowed city workers to use a special kind of green dye to find out where the waste water came from.( 1955年理查德·戴利上任后,他决心开发河畔区域,并允许市政工作人员使用一种特殊的绿色染料来查明污水的来源)”可知,在20世纪50年代芝加哥河会被染成绿色是为了确定废水的来源。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“What you may not know, however, is that one year earlier, another city tried, unsuccessfully, to dye its river green for the Irish holiday. That city was Savannah.(但你或许并不知晓,早在一年之前,就有另一座城市尝试将河水染绿来庆祝这个爱尔兰节日,不过最终未能成功。这座城市就是萨凡纳。)”可知,Savannah是首个以染绿河水的方式庆祝圣帕特里克节的。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段““In the past, we accepted the practice in Chicago because there were larger problems facing the river. But as the health of the rivers has improved, perhaps it’s time to start considering new ideas,” said Margaret Frisbie, the manager of an environmental group. (“过去,我们之所以接受芝加哥的这种做法,是因为当时河流面临着更为严峻的问题。但随着河流的健康状况有所改善,或许现在是时候开始考虑新的方案了。”环境组织的负责人玛格丽特·弗里斯比说道)”可知,玛格丽特·弗里斯比对美国的新传统感到担忧。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Though Chicago has been well-known for marking St. Patrick’s Day by dyeing green the waterway flowing through the city since 1962, the tradition did not begin as an act of celebration. Instead, it was a part of the city’s effort to clean up the Chicago River, which had become so dirty and smelly that Upton Sinclair mentioned it in his famous novel The Jungle.(自1962年以来,芝加哥一直以在流经该市的河道中染上绿色的方式来庆祝圣帕特里克节,但这一传统并非始于庆祝活动。相反,它原本是该市为清理芝加哥河所采取的一项举措。由于这条河变得如此肮脏且恶臭,以至于厄普顿·辛克莱在他的著名小说《屠宰场》中提到了它)”和全文内容可知,文章完整讲述了“把河水染绿”这一活动如何一步步演变成美国圣帕特里克节传统,包括起源、发展、其他城市效仿、争议等内容。D选项“河水染绿,如何成为美国圣帕特里克节的传统?”最符合文章标题。

【16题详解】
根据上文“Most of you may agree that to become a conversational or fluent speaker in Chinese, you must immerse (沉浸) yourself in a Chinese-speaking environment in China.(你们大多数人或许都会认同,要想成为流利的中文会话者,就必须置身于一个以中文交流为主的环境中,比如去中国生活一段时间)”以及后文“Luckily, there are plenty of ways to do so in your home country.(幸运的是,在你的本国有很多可行的办法可以做到这一点)”可知,前文说大家普遍认为学中文要去中国的中文环境,后文转折说“好在本国也有很多方法”,F选项“但你们很多人缺少时间、金钱,也不想长期待在中国”完美衔接转折,符合逻辑。
【17题详解】
根据后文“A formal Chinese course gives you an environment where you can cut yourself off from your native language and immerse yourself in Chinese, though you still have to try your best to speak as much Chinese as possible when communicating with your classmates and teachers.(参加正规的中文课程能为你提供一个环境,在这个环境中你可以暂时抛开自己的母语,全身心地投入到学习中文当中。不过,在与同学和老师交流时,你仍需尽力尽可能多地使用中文)”可知,空后整段都在介绍正式中文课程的作用,A选项“报名中文课”正好是这一段的主题句,对应下文。
【18题详解】
根据上文“Try putting sticky notes on all your household objects in Chinese characters and pinyin so that you are reminded of them throughout your day.

Of course, it is better to have a native speaker as a language partner.(此外,你还需要找到一个语言伙伴,以进一步增加你说中文的机会。当然,如果有母语为汉语的人作为你的语言伙伴会更好)”可知,前文说“最好找母语者当语伴”,G选项“但哪怕是和你一起学中文的人也适合练习”承接上文,退一步说明要求,符合逻辑。
【20题详解】
根据后文“If you are a university student, check out programs offered by your school’s Asian Studies or International Education departments. They usually host frequent international coffee hours or plenty of events in Chinese. It is very likely that you can find some suitable language partners there.(如果你是大学生,可以查看你所在学校亚洲研究系或国际教育系提供的课程。他们通常会定期举办国际咖啡交流会或者有很多用中文进行的活动。很有可能在那里你能找到合适的语言交流伙伴)”可知,空后整段都在介绍去哪里找合适的语伴,C选项“那你要怎么给自己找语伴呢”引出下文的回答,符合设问逻辑。

【解析】
【导语】主要讲述了野生红毛猩猩生性孤僻。作者偶遇一只却未受攻击,这和当地认为猩猩凶猛的看法不同。原来人遭袭击多是因先威胁了猩猩。
【21题详解】
考查动词。句意:这些动物被视作群居动物。A. trained训练;B. characterized描述、刻画;C. saved拯救;D. used使用。结合前文“In terms of social behavior, wild orangutans are very different not only from human beings but also from their cousins like monkeys, gorillas and chimpanzees.”可知,红毛猩猩与猴子、大猩猩等动物习性不同,猴子、大猩猩等被视作群居动物。be characterized as为固定搭配,表示“被看作、被描述为”。
【22题详解】
考查副词和形容词。句意:但这些野生猩猩却是孤独的生物:成年雄性红毛猩猩通常独自生活,雌性也只和未成年幼崽相伴。A. alone独自地;B. outdoors在户外;C. quietly安静地;D. awake醒着的。根据上文“lonely souls”可知,雄性红毛猩猩通常是独处的状态。
【23题详解】
考查动词短语。句意:一天早上,我外出寻找野生红毛猩猩。A. care for照顾;B. play with和……玩耍;C. concentrate on专注于;D. search for寻找。根据下文“When I was rounding a turn, I saw a huge orangutan heading straight toward me.”可知,作者野外观察动物,此处指出门寻找红毛猩猩。
【24题详解】

【26题详解】
考查副词。句意:但奇怪的是,我丝毫没有感到害怕。A. typically典型地;B. strangely奇怪地;C. embarrassingly尴尬地;D. naturally自然地。根据上文“Then he stopped less than twelve feet away. For a few seconds, he stared at me.”可知,面对大型野生动物本应害怕,作者却没有,这一情况很反常。
【27题详解】
考查形容词。句意:我只是被它阳光下漂亮的橙色皮毛所惊艳。A. angered生气的;B. frightened害怕的;C. amazed惊讶的、惊叹的;D. confused困惑的。根据下文“beautiful orange coat”可知,作者被猩猩的外表吸引、心生赞叹。
【28题详解】
考查动词。句意:突然,它转身离开了。A. died死亡;B. rolled翻滚;C. clicked发出咔嗒声;D. escaped离开、溜走。根据下文“his feet padding off along the path”提到脚步声逐渐远去可知,猩猩转身离开。

考查形容词。句意:我的这次经历与人们认为野生红毛猩猩性情凶猛的传统看法截然相反。A. rude粗鲁的;B. smart聪明的;C. short矮小的;D. violent凶猛的、暴力的。根据下文“told me of a relative in Kumai who had ____ half of his hand and part of one foot to an adult male orangutan he had met.”有人被猩猩所伤可知,传统观念认为它们性情暴躁有攻击性。
【32题详解】
考查动词。句意:回到营地后,我的工友向我讲述了库马伊一位亲戚的事,这位亲戚曾遭遇一只成年雄性猩猩的袭击,结果失去了自己的一只手和一部分脚。A. cut切割;B. lost失去;C. eaten吃掉;D. given给予。根据下文“half of his hand and part of one foot to an adult male orangutan he had met.”可知,下文是受伤的描述,指肢体残缺、失去部分手脚。
【33题详解】

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Holly boarded a plane at JFK Airport in New York City. She was excited to spend a year studying in France. Yet one thought bothered her throughout the flight: “Can they understand me?”
Her fears proved justified. Within days of arriving in France, Holly felt completely lost. Simple tasks, like ordering coffee or asking for directions, became exhausting battles. She felt very lonely and missed home terribly.
The only comfort came in a package from her mother. It was filled with Holly’s favorite treat: Skippy peanut butter, which was impossible to be found in France. She rushed to the post office to get the package. On the way, she even imagined herself opening the package and eating the comfort food right there!
But at the counter, the attendant couldn’t speak any English at all. Holly switched to her awkward French. However, the attendant just shook her head. The more she repeated herself, the more frustrated — and hopeless — she felt. Obviously, she couldn’t understand Holly’s French, either. Just as Holly was about to break down in tears — not just over the peanut butter, but over everything: the loneliness, the endless struggle to be understood — a gentle voice came from behind, “Can I help you?” Holly turned to see a French woman about her mother’s age, with kind eyes and a warm smile. Her name was Jouve.
After Holly explained her situation in English, Jouve placed a reassuring hand on Holly’s arm and spoke to the attendant in rapid, fluent French. Within two minutes, the package was handed over. Holly held it like a treasure.
On their way to the parking lot, Holly poured out her heart — the language barrier, the isolation, the homesickness. Jouve listened quietly, her eyes full of sympathy. Before they parted, she asked, “Why not join my family for dinner this Sunday?”
注意:1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
That meal changed everything.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Holly decided to pass on Jouve’s kindness to other international students.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】范文
That meal changed everything. Stepping into Jouve’s warm and cozy home, Holly was instantly greeted with genuine warmth and kindness. Jouve’s family were all friendly and patient with her. They chatted slowly with simple French words, patiently helping Holly practice her pronunciation and daily expressions. They shared delicious homemade food and interesting local stories, making Holly feel fully relaxed and no longer lonely. For the first time since she arrived in France, she felt a strong sense of belonging and gained confidence in learning French and adapting to new life.
Holly decided to pass on Jouve’s kindness to other international students. She volunteered to help new foreign students who struggled with language barriers and homesickness. She patiently assisted them with daily communication, shared her adaptation experience and encouraged them bravely to embrace new challenges. Just like Jouve, she offered warmth and support to those in need. Gradually, more overseas students fitted into local life, and the little kindness was passed down continuously, lighting up everyone’s study life abroad.

Here’s a guide to the best places to catch a live blues show in Austin, Texas, “the live music capital of the world”.
The Continental Club
Known as “the granddaddy of all local Austin music clubs,” the Continental Club never sees a slow night. Tourists and locals alike can’t resist its charm, which has remained close to its blue origins since it opened in 1955. In addition to its location in the heart of the city, this landmark is proud to offer live blue music shows every single night of the week.
Antone’s Nightclub
You can’t have a discussion about Austin’s blues scene without mentioning Antone’s. Opened by Clifford Antone in 1975, this world-famous nightclub has lived up to its fame as “Austin’s home of the blues” for decades. Its walls are covered with the stories of past blues greats like BB King, Stevie Ray Vaughan, and ZZ Top, all of whom often performed on the nightclub’s stage in the blues’ best time of the 1970s and 1980s. While shows in the other clubs have grown more eclectic (兼收并蓄) over the years, Antone’s still holds to the blues tradition.
C-Boy’s Heart & Soul
If the downtown places are not your dish, wander down to C-Boy’s Heart & Soul. Opened in 2013 and hidden deep in the historic South Austin, it is a small and quiet place that delivers an endless supply of good mix of blues, soul, and R&B seven days a week. If you need a little break during the shows, be sure to wander out to the spacious game room for some of the latest games. C-Boy’s has its own parking lot, an unusual advantage over any music club in Austin.
1. When was the “granddaddy” born?
A. In 1955. B. In 1975.
C. In 1980. D. In 2013.
2. What can be learned about BB King?
A. He was one of the pioneers in blues.
B. He helped some of the greatest musicians.
C. He was the co-founder of a nightclub.
D. He often performed at Antone’s Nightclub.
3. What is unique about C-Boy’s Heart & Soul?
A. It offers various types of music.
B. It is best-known for traditional blues.
C. It is open every day of the week.
D. It has easy access to shopping centers.
B
When computer network came into existence, it was extremely difficult to use. To read an online story, for example, you would need to know which network-equipped computer had the story you wanted and then connect your machine to the computer directly.
But on April 30, 1993, that all changed thanks to the invention of the World Wide Web. Since then, users just need to type in an address. More importantly, anyone can build their own “website”.
The World Wide Web was the brainchild of Tim Berners-Lee, a 37-year-old researcher at CERN, a physics lab in Switzerland. But Berners-Lee thought that keeping the technology as open as possible to the public would help it grow.
The decision led to a rapid growth of internet users. By the end of 1995, more than 24 million people in the US and Canada alone spent an average of 5 hours per week on the internet.
It’s hard not to wonder what life would look like today if Berners-Lee hadn’t decided to give away the invention. In a 1999 interview, Berners-Lee was asked why he never cashed in.
“Your question suggests that you just measure people’s value by their net worth,” he responded. “People are what they’ve done and what they stand for, rather than what they happen to have in the bank.”
Since the World Wide Web went public, it’s totally changed how we communicate, gather, work and learn. However, it’s also expanded the reach of disinformation. Berners-Lee even predicted (预见) this problem decades ago.
“I don’t mind there being false information out there,” he said in the same interview. “The important thing is that users should know that the webpages they see are written by people. In a way, the internet is a reflection of the real world. Users should learn to know whether they’re looking at disinformation or not.”
4. Why did Berners-Lee give away his invention?
A. He didn’t know it was valuable. B. He had too much money in the bank.
C. He was under pressure to do so. D. He probably wanted to popularize it.
5. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. The side effects of the internet. B. The protest from the public.
C. The significance of the decision. D. The advantages of the internet.
6. What did Berners-Lee suggest about the online disinformation?
A. It was unavoidable. B. It was totally unacceptable.
C. It should be stopped. D. It could be easily recognized.
7. Which of the following best describes Berners-Lee?
A. Ungrateful. B. Generous. C. Humorous. D. Irresponsible.
C
Since Born to Run, a book about long-distance barefoot runners in Mexico, was published in 2009, walking barefoot has gained popularity around the world, again. Over the years, a growing number of studies continues to show that going barefoot can increase foot strength, improve balance and reduce risk of falls.
A recent study, which focuses on improving the design of modern footwear, has even found that our shoes have affected our movements and even changed the structure of our feet. “For example, most shoes have a quite narrow toe box,” it writes. “It means our toes are pressed together and we can’t use our feet naturally. This may contribute to poor balance and even arch collapse (扁平足) over time.”
While those studies about the barefoot movement are promising, don’t throw out all of the shoes just yet, warn other researchers. They argue that switching (切换) to barefoot walking too quickly can be a recipe for injuries since our feet have adapted to them and have lost some of their strength. Plus, our feet are now very sensitive to anything but smooth, soft ground.
“That’s like having your arm in a cast (石膏) for years, ”says John Mercer, professor at the University of Nevada. “Then take it off, and the first thing you do is go out and play a game of tennis.”
Instead, Mercer recommends starting slow. “First, try walking around the house and outside on a soft surface. Then, go for a short walk around the block. Add a bit more distance each week,” he suggests. “Your feet will tell you when you’ve had enough. If you experience any sharp pain, stop.”
8. What does the new study most probably aim to do?
A. Show the benefits of barefoot walking. B. Warn the risk of walking without shoes.
C. Provide guidelines for barefoot walkers. D. Study the problems of modern footwear.
9. Which of the following can replace the underlined words “be a recipe for” in paragraph 3?
A. Lead to. B. Keep track of. C. Take advantage of. D. Get through.
10. What does John Mercer mean?
A. We can protect our feet with a cast. B. We must toughen up our feet gradually.
C. We should go for other exercises first. D. We have to do warm-up exercises each time.
11. In which section of a newspaper will this text most probably appear?
A. Literature. B. Technology. C. Sports. D. Environment.
D
Though Chicago has been well-known for marking St. Patrick’s Day by dyeing green the waterway flowing through the city since 1962, the tradition did not begin as an act of celebration. Instead, it was a part of the city’s effort to clean up the Chicago River, which had become so dirty and smelly that Upton Sinclair mentioned it in his famous novel The Jungle.
When Richard Daley took office in 1955, he was determined to develop the riverfront area and allowed city workers to use a special kind of green dye to find out where the waste water came from. In 1962, he was persuaded by his friend Stephen Bailey to dye the whole river to kick-start the official celebration of St. Patrick’s Day. Later, other cities, including San Antonio, Tampa, and Indianapolis, were inspired to adopt similar celebrations.
What you may not know, however, is that one year earlier, another city tried, unsuccessfully, to dye its river green for the Irish holiday. That city was Savannah. The greening effort failed because of the quickly moving tides. So the city dyed several of its fountains (喷泉) green, including the famous Forsyth Fountain.
“In the past, we accepted the practice in Chicago because there were larger problems facing the river. But as the health of the rivers has improved, perhaps it’s time to start considering new ideas,” said Margaret Frisbie, the manager of an environmental group.
Despite protests from environmental groups, the dyeing of rivers doesn’t seem to be going anywhere. Millions of people around the country braved the cold last weekend to celebrate and witness the annual tradition.
12. Why was the Chicago River dyed green during the 1950s?
A. To celebrate the St. Patrick’s Day. B. To experiment with a new dye.
C. To identify the source of the waste water. D. To cover up the dirty waste water.
13. Which was the first city to mark St. Patrick’s Day by dyeing the river green?
A. Savannah. B. Chicago. C. San Antonio. D. Tampa.
14. How does Margaret Frisbie feel about the new tradition in the US?
A. Excited. B. Worried. C. Unclear. D. Unconcerned.
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. When Did Americans Start Dyeing Rivers Green on St. Patrick’s Day?
B. Why Did Americans Dye the Chicago River Green on St. Patrick’s Day?
C. What Is Environmental Groups’ Response to the St. Patrick’s Day Traditions?

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Holly boarded a plane at JFK Airport in New York City. She was excited to spend a year studying in France. Yet one thought bothered her throughout the flight: “Can they understand me?”
Her fears proved justified. Within days of arriving in France, Holly felt completely lost. Simple tasks, like ordering coffee or asking for directions, became exhausting battles. She felt very lonely and missed home terribly.
The only comfort came in a package from her mother. It was filled with Holly’s favorite treat: Skippy peanut butter, which was impossible to be found in France. She rushed to the post office to get the package. On the way, she even imagined herself opening the package and eating the comfort food right there!
But at the counter, the attendant couldn’t speak any English at all. Holly switched to her awkward French. However, the attendant just shook her head. The more she repeated herself, the more frustrated — and hopeless — she felt. Obviously, she couldn’t understand Holly’s French, either. Just as Holly was about to break down in tears — not just over the peanut butter, but over everything: the loneliness, the endless struggle to be understood — a gentle voice came from behind, “Can I help you?” Holly turned to see a French woman about her mother’s age, with kind eyes and a warm smile. Her name was Jouve.
After Holly explained her situation in English, Jouve placed a reassuring hand on Holly’s arm and spoke to the attendant in rapid, fluent French. Within two minutes, the package was handed over. Holly held it like a treasure.
On their way to the parking lot, Holly poured out her heart — the language barrier, the isolation, the homesickness. Jouve listened quietly, her eyes full of sympathy. Before they parted, she asked, “Why not join my family for dinner this Sunday?”
注意:1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
That meal changed everything.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Holly decided to pass on Jouve’s kindness to other international students.
