A British woman who won a S1 million prize after she was named the World's Best Teacher will use the cash to bring inspirational figures into UK schools.
Andria Zafirakou,a north London secondary school teacher, said she wanted to bring about a classroom revolution (变革). “We are going to make a change, ”she said.“I’ve started a project to promote the teaching of the arts in our schools.”
The project results from the difficulties many schools have in getting artists of any sort - whether an up-and-coming local musician or a major movie star - into schools to work with and inspire children.
Zafirakou began the project at Alperton Community School, her place of work for the past twelve years. “I've seen those magic moments when children are talking to someone they are inspired by - their eyes are shining and their faces light up,” she said. “We need artists . more than ever in our schools."
Artist Michael Craig-Martin said: “Andria's brilliant project to bring artists from all fields into direct contact with children is particularly welcome at a time when the arts are being downgraded in schools." It was a mistake to see the arts as unnecessary, he added.
Historian Sir Simon Schama is also a supporter of the project. He said that arts education in schools was not just an add-on. “It is absolutely necessary. The future depends on creativity and creativity depends on the young. What will remain of us when artificial intelligence takes over will be our creativity, and it is our creative spirit, our visionary sense of freshness,that has been our strength for centuries."
4. What will Zafirakou do with her prize money?
A. Make a movie. B. Build new schools.
C. Run a project. D. Help local musicians.
5. What does Craig-Martin think of the teaching of the arts in UK schools?
A. It is particularly difficult. B. It increases artists' income.
C. It opens children's mind. D. It deserves greater attention.
6. What should be stressed in school education according to Schama?

C. Creative abilities. D. Positive worldviews.
7. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A. Bring Artists to Schools B. When Historians Meet Artists

How steady you are on your feet can indicate how likely you are to live a longer, healthy life. The ability to remain upright and steady is something that we take for granted, until something goes wrong.
The balance system is made up of lots of different sensory components, explains Nicola Harris, a health expert. Good balance depends on correct sensory information from your eyes, muscles, tendons (腱), and joints, and the balance organs in the inner ear.
The most obvious benefit of good balance is that it helps prevent falls and therefore injuries, and simply makes daily activities easier and safer to perform. Unless you develop a balance disorder, the first time people become aware of balance issues is when they get older.
Harris says that people with balance problems at her clinic often talk about the loss of the ability to look from side to side as they cross the road because they feel unsteady. “That is fundamentally because the balance system as a whole starts to get worn,” says Harris.
Pilates, dance and tai chi are all good exercises to maintain good balance. “Other things that work your balance slightly differently, but again are really good, are ball games. Anything involving hand-eye coordination, such as tennis or table tennis,” says Harris.
However, she warns against just doing strengthening exercises in the gym using machinery: “That’s not going to improve your balance.” Including tree weights and resistance bands into your workout will not only strengthen your bones and muscles, but your balance, too.
8. What does the underlined word “components” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. personalities B. manners C. parts D. approaches
9. Which statement is true about a balance disorder?
A. It can be easily found in our everyday life.
B. It results in more convenience to daily activities.
C. It leads to people crossing the road more steadily.
D. It is hard to be felt for the young if one doesn’t have any symptom.
10. What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?
A. There is more than one exercise to improve one’s balance.
B. Any kind of exercise will do good to maintaining one’s good balance.
C. Doing strengthening exercises is the best way to improve one’s balance.
D. As for improving one's balance, Harris offers no recommendation.
11. Which column is the passage probably taken from?
A. Technology. B. Health. C. Fiction. D. Entertainment.
D
When was the last time you talked proudly about being sensitive? Most likely, the answer is never. There are plenty of characters we take pride in, but being “sensitive” is usually considered as a weakness. The message sensitive people get isn’t to celebrate who they are. It’s that they should “overcome” their sensitivity.
However, sensitivity is largely genetic (遗传的), and not something you can turn off. It is a character connected to talent and something we should embrace. In fact, according to thirty years of research, it’s not only a healthy character, but it also serves as a big advantage.
As a personality character, being sensitive means you take in more information from your environment, and you do more with it. Sensitive people process information more deeply than others do. This changes the way you see the world. You probably notice what others miss, think, and feel deeply.
The most well-known sensitive gift is creativity. Sensitive people tend to be highly creative, and many — perhaps most — artists, musicians, and actors are themselves sensitive people.
But creativity doesn’t end with the arts. The same ability changes into innovation. Many of our greatest thinkers and scientists throughout history have been sensitive people, like Charles Darwin. Sensitive people have this ability to innovate because they tend to be deep thinkers who spend more time and energy turning problems over in their heads — and end up seeing more possibilities and solutions.
Sensitive people do pay a price for these gifts, however, by becoming overstimulated. Overstimulation is what happens when there is simply too much information for the brain to deal with. But sensitive people can learn to deal with it. For them, a little bit of quiet alone time goes a long way.
If any of this sounds like you, you might be more sensitive than you realize. If so, you have probably felt the pressure to hide it. But that’s a trap. You can’t make yourself less sensitive than you are and trying to do so only cuts you off from your gifts.
Instead, the single most important step you can take for yourself is what society has told you not to do your whole life: Stop hiding from your sensitivity. Embrace it, and show it to the world.
12. What phenomenon does the author mention in paragraph l ?
A. People usually take pride in their being sensitive.
B. Being negative is often looked up to in our daily life.
C. Being sensitive is traditionally regarded as a weakness.
D. Generally speaking, we have few characters that should be praised.
13. Why does the author think of sensitivity as an advantage?
A. Because it has nothing to do with talent.
B. Because you can see the world more deeply with it.
C. Because people with it tend to be talented artists.
D. Because it is largely acquired by learning and can easily be changed.
14. Why is Charles Darwin mentioned in the text?
A. To show some great scientists in history are sensitive.
B. To explain the most famous sensitive gift is creativity.
C. To prove most artists, musicians and actors are sensitive.
D. To show sensitive people process information more deeply than others do.
15. What is a sensitive person recommended to do?
A. Pay for it. B. Consult doctors. C. Avoid showing it. D. Jump at it.

Four Things You Must Know About College Degrees
Are you getting ready to begin college, to head back to school after a few years off, or are you just exploring your options? ____16____ Here’s a quick overview of several key facts that will serve you well as you aim for an education certificate.
Online study can ‘save you big bucks
In modern society, it’s becoming easier to attend school online. If you choose a school’s online program, it’s possible to save as much as 50 percent over in-person. ____17____ Be aware that institutions that offer online study sometimes have a more limited range of courses and majors for those e-degree programs. Check if your desired subjects are part of the e-curriculum.
____18____
Getting your degree and paying for it are two completely different challenges. That’s why it’s essential to get financing arranged before you choose your college or pick your major. If you don’t have the money situation taken care of, schools simply won’t let you begin the coursework. The good news is that you can take out a student loan from a private lender and get the entire payment issue resolved quickly.
Do career research before choosing a major
It’s important to choose a major that has realistic job prospects for graduates. You might love art history or linguistic philosophy. ____19____ Accounting, IT, advertising and engineering are all sensible choices. Ask the school administrators what their most popular majors are, what job placement rates are,and whether they offer internships for seniors in their fields of study.
Concentrate on application essays
When you fill out applications for the schools that interest you, don’t just rush through the paperwork. Some of it is merely standard, fill-in-the-blank information. ____20____ You’ll need to be careful when filling out these kinds of items as admissions offices tend to focus on your essay, scores on standardized tests, grades, and job history.
A. Arrange financing first
B. Work while earning a degree
C. Therefore, spend at least one hour on each essay
D. But most applications usually contain at least one essay-type question
E. If so, it’s important to know a few of the basic facts about modern-day degrees
F. So, unless you have some special reason for attending in person, weigh all your choices
G. However, unless you aim to restrict your career to teaching, check out more practical majora

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了平衡能力对人体健康和生活质量的重要性,平衡能力不仅关乎行走的稳定性,还与长寿和健康密切相关。
【8题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句“The balance system is made up of lots of different sensory components (平衡系统由许多不同的感官components组成)”和其后“Good balance depends on correct sensory information from your eyes, muscles, tendons (腱), and joints, and the balance organs in the inner ear.(良好的平衡依赖于来自眼睛、肌肉、肌腱、关节和内耳平衡器官的正确感觉信息)”可推知,“sensory components”即下文中列举的“eyes, muscles, tendons (腱), and joints, and the balance organs in the inner ear”等感觉器官。所以component与part同义,意为“组成部分,器官,部位”。故选C项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Unless you develop a balance disorder, the first time people become aware of balance issues is when they get older.(除非你患上了平衡障碍,否则人们第一次意识到平衡问题是在他们变老的时候)”可知,如果没有患上了平衡障碍,没有症状,年轻人是很难感知平衡障碍的。所以“It is hard to be felt for the young if one doesn’t have any symptom.”是正确的描述。故选D项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中“Pilates, dance and tai chi are all good exercises to maintain good balance.(普拉提、舞蹈和太极都是保持身体平衡的好运动)”和“Other things that work your balance slightly differently, but again are really good, are ball games.(球类运动对平衡的影响略有不同,但同样非常好)”可知,有不止一种运动可以改善一个人的平衡。故选A项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,结合第一段中“How steady you are on your feet can indicate how likely you are to live a longer, healthy life. The ability to remain upright and steady is something that we take for granted, until something goes wrong.(你的脚有多稳,表明你有多大可能活得更长、更健康。保持直立和稳定的能力是我们认为理所当然的,直到出现问题)”可知,文章主要介绍了平衡能力对人体健康和生活质量的重要性,它不仅关乎行走的稳定性,还与长寿和健康密切相关。文章内容与人类健康有关,所以很可能出自健康专栏。故选B项。
D
When was the last time you talked proudly about being sensitive? Most likely, the answer is never. There are plenty of characters we take pride in, but being “sensitive” is usually considered as a weakness. The message sensitive people get isn’t to celebrate who they are. It’s that they should “overcome” their sensitivity.
However, sensitivity is largely genetic (遗传的), and not something you can turn off. It is a character connected to talent and something we should embrace. In fact, according to thirty years of research, it’s not only a healthy character, but it also serves as a big advantage.
As a personality character, being sensitive means you take in more information from your environment, and you do more with it. Sensitive people process information more deeply than others do. This changes the way you see the world. You probably notice what others miss, think, and feel deeply.
The most well-known sensitive gift is creativity. Sensitive people tend to be highly creative, and many — perhaps most — artists, musicians, and actors are themselves sensitive people.
But creativity doesn’t end with the arts. The same ability changes into innovation. Many of our greatest thinkers and scientists throughout history have been sensitive people, like Charles Darwin. Sensitive people have this ability to innovate because they tend to be deep thinkers who spend more time and energy turning problems over in their heads — and end up seeing more possibilities and solutions.
Sensitive people do pay a price for these gifts, however, by becoming overstimulated. Overstimulation is what happens when there is simply too much information for the brain to deal with. But sensitive people can learn to deal with it. For them, a little bit of quiet alone time goes a long way.
If any of this sounds like you, you might be more sensitive than you realize. If so, you have probably felt the pressure to hide it. But that’s a trap. You can’t make yourself less sensitive than you are and trying to do so only cuts you off from your gifts.
Instead, the single most important step you can take for yourself is what society has told you not to do your whole life: Stop hiding from your sensitivity. Embrace it, and show it to the world.
12. What phenomenon does the author mention in paragraph l ?
A. People usually take pride in their being sensitive.
B. Being negative is often looked up to in our daily life.
C. Being sensitive is traditionally regarded as a weakness.
D. Generally speaking, we have few characters that should be praised.
13. Why does the author think of sensitivity as an advantage?
A. Because it has nothing to do with talent.
B. Because you can see the world more deeply with it.
C. Because people with it tend to be talented artists.
D. Because it is largely acquired by learning and can easily be changed.
14. Why is Charles Darwin mentioned in the text?
A. To show some great scientists in history are sensitive.
B. To explain the most famous sensitive gift is creativity.
C. To prove most artists, musicians and actors are sensitive.
D. To show sensitive people process information more deeply than others do.
15. What is a sensitive person recommended to do?
A. Pay for it. B. Consult doctors. C. Avoid showing it. D. Jump at it.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章说明“敏感”的特征以及好处。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“There are plenty of characters we take pride in, but being “sensitive” is usually considered as a weakness.(有很多我们引以为傲的性格,但“敏感”通常被认为是一种弱点)”可知,“敏感”习惯上被认为是一种缺陷,而不是优势。故选C。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Sensitive people process information more deeply than others do. This changes the way you see the world. You probably notice what others miss, think, and feel deeply.(敏感的人比其他人更能深入地处理信息。这会改变你看待世界的方式。你可能会注意到别人错过了什么,想了什么,感受到了什么)”可知,敏感的人能够深入加工获取的信息,能更深入地了解世界。故选B。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“Many of our greatest thinkers and scientists throughout history have been sensitive people, like Charles Darwin.(历史上许多伟大的思想家和科学家都是敏感的人,比如查尔斯·达尔文)”可知,提到了查尔斯·达尔文是为了显示历史上一些伟大的科学家是敏感的。故选A。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Instead, the single most important step you can take for yourself is what society has told you not to do your whole life: Stop hiding from your sensitivity. Embrace it, and show it to the world.(相反,你可以为自己采取的最重要的一步是社会告诉你一辈子不要做的事情:不要躲避你的敏感。接受它,向世界展示它)”可知,作者建议敏感的人应该欣然接受敏感,并勇于展示给别人。故选D。

Four Things You Must Know About College Degrees
Are you getting ready to begin college, to head back to school after a few years off, or are you just exploring your options? ____16____ Here’s a quick overview of several key facts that will serve you well as you aim for an education certificate.
Online study can ‘save you big bucks
In modern society, it’s becoming easier to attend school online. If you choose a school’s online program, it’s possible to save as much as 50 percent over in-person. ____17____ Be aware that institutions that offer online study sometimes have a more limited range of courses and majors for those e-degree programs. Check if your desired subjects are part of the e-curriculum.
____18____
Getting your degree and paying for it are two completely different challenges. That’s why it’s essential to get financing arranged before you choose your college or pick your major. If you don’t have the money situation taken care of, schools simply won’t let you begin the coursework. The good news is that you can take out a student loan from a private lender and get the entire payment issue resolved quickly.
Do career research before choosing a major
It’s important to choose a major that has realistic job prospects for graduates. You might love art history or linguistic philosophy. ____19____ Accounting, IT, advertising and engineering are all sensible choices. Ask the school administrators what their most popular majors are, what job placement rates are,and whether they offer internships for seniors in their fields of study.
Concentrate on application essays
When you fill out applications for the schools that interest you, don’t just rush through the paperwork. Some of it is merely standard, fill-in-the-blank information. ____20____ You’ll need to be careful when filling out these kinds of items as admissions offices tend to focus on your essay, scores on standardized tests, grades, and job history.
A. Arrange financing first
B. Work while earning a degree
C. Therefore, spend at least one hour on each essay
D. But most applications usually contain at least one essay-type question
E. If so, it’s important to know a few of the basic facts about modern-day degrees
F. So, unless you have some special reason for attending in person, weigh all your choices
G. However, unless you aim to restrict your career to teaching, check out more practical majora
【答案】16. E 17. F 18. A 19. G 20. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文总结了关于获取大学学位期间对你有用的几项相关事实。
【16题详解】
根据上文“Are you getting ready to begin college, to head back to school after a few years off, or are you just exploring your options?(你是准备好上大学了吗?是休学几年后重返校园,还是只是在探索自己的选择?)”以及后文“Here’s a quick overview of several key facts that will serve you well as you aim for an education certificate.(以下是对几个关键事实的快速概述,这些事实将有助于你获得教育证书)”可知,首段总领全文,本句为过渡句,旨在引出后文的几项基本事实。选项E“了解关于当今社会学位的几项基本事实十分重要”符合题意。故选E。
【17题详解】
由第一个小标题“Online study can ‘save you big bucks(在线学习可以帮你省下一大笔钱)”以及上文“In modern society, it’s becoming easier to attend school online. If you choose a school’s online program, it’s possible to save as much as 50 percent over in-person.(在现代社会,网上上学变得越来越容易。如果你选择学校的在线课程,可能会比亲自去学校节省50%的费用)”可知,本段主要围绕“大学在线学习能够帮助省钱”这一点展开,且上文提到了选择在线课程可以省钱,即建议不必亲自去学校,故F选项“若非有必须亲身参加课程的理由,可以权衡各种选择”符合段意。故选F。
【18题详解】
根据本段内容“Getting your degree and paying for it are two completely different challenges. That’s why it’s essential to get financing arranged before you choose your college or pick your major. If you don’t have the money situation taken care of, schools simply won’t let you begin the coursework. The good news is that you can take out a student loan from a private lender and get the entire payment issue resolved quickly.(获得学位和支付学费是两种完全不同的挑战。这就是为什么在你选择大学或专业之前安排好资金是很重要的。如果你不考虑钱的问题,学校根本不会让你开始课程。好消息是,你可以从私人贷款机构申请学生贷款,很快就能解决整个付款问题)”可知,本段主要谈及获取学位之前,安排好经济问题也很重要。A选项“先安排经济”符合题意。故选A。
【19题详解】
由第三个小标题“Do career research before choosing a major(在选择专业前做职业调查)”可知,本段强调了选择专业之前的职业调研的重要性。空格前句“It’s important to choose a major that has realistic job prospects for graduates. You might love art history or linguistic philosophy.(选择一个对毕业生来说有现实就业前景的专业是很重要的。你可能喜欢艺术史或语言哲学)”所谈人文专业与教学行业有关,而后句“Accounting, IT, advertising and engineering are all sensible choices.(会计、IT、广告和工程都是明智的选择)”所指为更加实用的专业,两句间构成转折关系,G选项“然而,除非你的目标是把你的职业局限在教学上,否则你可以选择一些更实用的专业”承上启下,符合题意。故选G。
【20题详解】
根据第四个小标题“Concentrate on application essays(专注于申请论文)”可知,作者强调专注申请大学表格中的长段文论部分,而空格前一句为“Some of it is merely standard,fill-in-the-blank information.(有些申请表只是标准的信息填空)”可知,本句主要是在说明申请表的常规内容,D选项“大部分申请表都会包含至少一个长篇论述的问题”承上启下,呼应标题,符合题意。故选D。

第二节 (共10小题;每小题1.5分,满分15分)
阅读下面材料,在空白处填入适当的内容 (1个单词) 或所给单词的正确形式。
The market for wearable technology in the past few years has been on a rapid rise. We seem to have too much attachment to data accessible on those devices. ____36____ is it a good thing that we’re relying on technology more often than not, recording every step we take? Can those tools really maximize your workout benefits? The real question ____37____ (surround) not the wearable, but the wearer.

Earlier this month, Sara Hall, a professional marathon runner competing in the U. S. Olympic marathon trials, actually ____41____ (throw) away her GPS watch midrace to avoid distraction. Similarly, for beginner runners, it’s more important to learn to listen to your body’s signals — tiredness, ____42____ (ache), bursts of energy — ____43____ to track your pace or heart rate.

【答案】36. But
37. surrounds
38. looking
39. a 40. to
41. threw 42. aches

【解析】
【导语】本文围绕近年来可穿戴智能设备的流行趋势展开讨论,反思了过度依赖智能设备记录运动数据的现象,指出可穿戴设备对运动效果的提升作用本质上取决于使用者而非设备本身。
【36题详解】
考查连词。句意:但是,我们频繁依赖于技术,记录我们的每一步,这是一件好事吗?空前“We seem to have too much attachment to data accessible on those devices.”和空后“is it a good thing that we’re relying on technology more often than not, recording every step we take”之间为转折关系,用连词but连接。出现在句首,首字母大写。
【37题详解】
考查时态。句意:真正的问题不在于可穿戴设备本身,而在于佩戴者。本句描述客观观点,用一般现在时;主语The real question为第三人称单数,谓语动词需要用单数surrounds。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:对于希望借助数据提升比赛水平的运动员来说,挑战在于找到最有帮助的信息类型。本句谓语为is finding,此处look需要用非谓语形式修饰athletes,athletes与look之间为主动关系,因此用现在分词looking作后置定语。
【39题详解】
考查冠词。句意:如果你希望跑得更快,想要尝试根据心率区间调整配速,那么一块可穿戴设备就可以帮你实现。此处wearable为可数名词,泛指一个可穿戴设备,且发音以辅音音素开头,因此用不定冠词a。
【40题详解】
考查介词。句意:然而,对于专业运动员和刚开始健身的新手来说,少即是多。be new to...为固定搭配,表示“对……不熟悉,刚接触……”。
【41题详解】
考查时态。句意:本月早些时候,参加美国奥运马拉松选拔赛的职业马拉松选手萨拉·霍尔在比赛途中扔掉了她的GPS手表,避免分心。时间状语Earlier this month表示动作发生在过去,因此用一般过去时,throw的过去式为threw。
【42题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:同样,对于新手跑步者来说,学会倾听身体的信号——疲惫、疼痛、能量爆发——比追踪配速或心率更重要。此处ache表示泛指,且空前没有表示单数的限定词,需要用复数形式aches。
【43题详解】
考查连词。句意同上。句中含有比较级结构more important,此处比较的是“学会倾听身体的信号”和“追踪配速或心率”,因此需要用连词than引出比较对象。
【44题详解】
考查形容词。句意:根据这些目标,可能会有成本更低、更有趣、更便捷的方式来实现目标。cost effective为固定表达,意为“划算的,有成本效益的”,此处需要用effect的形容词形式effective。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:加州大学的医生伊森·韦斯告诉病人,在手腕上系一条不同的东西,比如皮带,更有可能把你拉向更多的活动。此处attach修饰item,二者之间为被动关系,因此用过去分词attached作后置定语。
