31、本文是一则广告，介绍了四份与女性健康有关的杂志的具体信息。主要起告知读者的作用。故选B。【22题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第二段第一句“Womens Day is not only specifically a womens health magazine, but also includes a little of what Shape has, along with more information on other parts of life: family, money, travel and style.（Women s Day不仅是一本专门为女性打造的健康杂志，还包括了一些Shap

32、e杂志拥有的信息，以及更多关于生活其他方面的信息:家庭、金钱、旅行和时尚。）”可知，Womens Day中含有关于日常生活部分的内容，这些内容是其余三个杂志没有的。故选D。【23题详解】细节理解题。根据文章最后一句“The workouts are clearly presented with good photos to illustrate (说明) every movement, and almost all can be done without making a trip to the gym.（这些锻炼都配有清晰的图片来说明每一个动作，而且几乎所有的动作都不用去健身房就能完成。）”

33、可知Fitness里有很多图片对内容进行阐述，帮助读者理解杂志内容。故选B。BSo many things can keep you from seeing your loved ones in person. Fortunately, thanks to modern technology, the people we miss are often only a phone call or text message away. But according to science, if you want to feel more connected to the people youre ta

34、lking to, you should call them instead of texting.A new study, published in the Journal of Experimental Psychology, found that communication interactions that included voice created stronger social relationships than communication through typing.In the study, researchers conducted various experiment

35、s. In the first one, they asked 200 people to make predictions about what itd be like to reconnect with an old friend by email or by phone and then assigned people at random to do one or the other. Although people expected that a phone call would be more awkward（尴尬的）, hearing someones voice actually

36、 made the experience better.“People reported they did form a significantly stronger bond with their old friend on the phone versus (与相比) email, and they didnt feel more awkward,” said study co-author Amit Kumar.In another experiment, the researchers had strangers connect by either texting, talking o

37、ver video chat, or talking using only audio (音频). They found that both forms of voice communication made the strangers feel much more connected than when they communicated via text.Sabrina Romanoff, a Harvard trained clinical psychologist based in New York City, says people tend to text or email ins

38、tead of calling because of convenience as they see it as a controlled form of communication where they can “respond to information exactly in the way they intend without unexpected additions by the other person”. However, in fact, texting can make it hard to determine the true meaning behind a conve

39、rsation. “A phone call is actually more convenient when considering the net effects of the message,” she explains. “Each party is more present, and therefore, able to understand the meaning behind the content without thinking over the endless possible meanings behind words and punctuation.”24. Which

40、 is the best for building closer connections according to the new study?A. An email.B. A text messageC. A video chat.D. A letter.25. What did the participants in the first experiment do?A.

43、发现，与打字交流相比，包括声音在内的交流互动能创造更强的社会关系。【24题详解】推理判断题。根据第二段“A new study, published in the Journal of Experimental Psychology, found that communication interactions that included voice created stronger social relationships than communication through typing.（发表在实验心理学杂志上的一项新研究发现，与打字交流相比，包括声音在内的交流互动能创造更强的社会关系。）

44、”可知，新的研究发现，有声音的交流能建立更强的社会关系，只有C选项“A video chat（视频聊天）”的交流有声音的参与，其他选项都是文字交流，因此，C选项符合题意。故选C项。【25题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段“In the first one, they asked 200 people to make predictions about what itd be like to reconnect with an old friend by email or by phone and then assigned people at random to do one or the oth

45、er. Although people expected that a phone call would be more awkward, hearing someones voice actually made the experience better.（在第一个实验中，他们让200人预测通过电子邮件或电话与老朋友重新联系会是什么样子，然后随机分配一些人去做其中一项或另一项。虽然人们认为打电话会更尴尬，但听到别人声音实际上会让体验更好。）”可知，在第一个实验中，参加者预测打电话可能会更尴尬。故选B项。【26题详解】细节理解题。根据最后一段“A phone call is actually

46、more convenient when considering the net effects of the message,” she explains. “Each party is more present, and therefore, able to understand the meaning behind the content without thinking over the endless possible meanings behind words and punctuation.”（ 她解释说：“考虑到短信的实际影响，打电话实际上更方便。每一方都更有参与感，因此，能够

47、理解内容背后的含义，而不必考虑词语和标点符号背后可能存在的无尽含义。”）”可知，Sabrina Romanoff认为打电话更方便的原因是它让彼此更容易被理解。故选C项。【27题详解】主旨大意题。根据第一段“But according to science, if you want to feel more connected to the people youre talking to, you should call them instead of texting.（但科学表明，如果你想和谈话对象建立更紧密的联系，你应该给他们打电话而不是发短信。）”和第二段“A new study, pub

48、lished in the Journal of Experimental Psychology, found that communication interactions that included voice created stronger social relationships than communication through typing.（发表在实验心理学杂志上的一项新研究发现，与打字交流相比，包括声音在内的交流互动能创造更强的社会关系。）”可知，文章主要讲述新的研究发现，有声音的交流能建立更强的社会关系，打电话比发短信更容易让人们建立紧密的关系。所以D选项“Should

49、We Call Instead of Texting（我们应该打电话而不是发短信吗？）”概括了文章内容，适合作为文章标题。故选D项。CWeve known that sitting for long periods of time every day has countless health consequences, like a higher risk of heart disease. But now a new study has found that sitting is also bad for your brain.A study published last week, con

50、ducted by Dr. Prabha Siddarth at the University of California, showed that sedentary (久坐的) behavior is associated with reduced thickness of the medial temporal lobe (中颞叶), a brain area that is critical to learning and memory.The researchers asked a group of 35 healthy people, aged 45 to 70, about th

51、eir activity levels and the average number of hours each day spent sitting and then scanned their brains. They found that the subjects who reported sitting for longer periods had the thinnest medial temporal lobes. It means that the more time you spend in a chair, the worse it is for your brain heal

52、th, resulting in possible damage to learning and memory.What is also interesting is that this study did not find a significant association between the level of physical activity and thickness of this brain area, suggesting that exercise, even severe exercise, may not be enough to protect you from th

53、e harmful effects of sitting.It then surprisingly turned out that you dont need to move much to enhance cognition (认知); just standing will make it. For example, two groups of subjects were asked to complete a test while either sitting or standing. Participants are presented with conflicting stimuli

54、(刺激), like the word “green” in blue ink, and asked to name the color. Subjects thinking on their feet beat those who sat by a 32 millisecond margin.The cognitive effects of severe physical exercise are well known. But the possibility that standing more and sitting less improves brain health could lo

55、wer the bar for everyone.I know, this all runs counter to receive ideas about deep thought, from our grade school teachers, who told us to sit down and focus, to Rodins famous “Thinker” seated with chin on hand.They were wrong. You can now all stand up.28. What can we infer from Paragraphs 3 and 4?A

56、. Sedentary behavior will possibly damage our brain.B. Severe exercise can reduce the damage of sitting.C. Severe exercise can greatly improve our brain health.D. Brain health has nothing to do with sedentary behavior.29. What does the underlined word “enhance” in Paragraph 5 mean?A. keepB. weakenC.

57、 improveD. decrease30. What is the received idea about deep thought?A Sitting more is good for our mental health.B. Sitting is better when we think.C. Exercise more can improve our cognition.D. We should stand while thinking.31. The passage mainly tells us _.A. people tend to sit while thinkingB. ph

58、ysical exercise can improve our brain healthC. sedentary behavior leads to countless health problemsD. standing more can make our brain healthier【答案】28. A 29. C 30. B 31. D【解析】【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述久坐带给人们的危害，研究发现，多站立可以让我们的大脑更健康。【28题详解】推理判断题。根据第三段“It means that the more time you spend in a chair, the wor

59、se it is for your brain health, resulting in possible damage to learning and memory.（也就是说，你在椅子上坐的时间越长，对你的大脑健康就越不利，可能会对学习和记忆造成损害。）”和第四段“What is also interesting is that this study did not find a significant association between the level of physical activity and thickness of this brain area, suggestin

60、g that exercise, even severe exercise, may not be enough to protect you from the harmful effects of sitting.（同样有趣的是，这项研究并没有发现身体活动水平和这一大脑区域的厚度之间的显著联系，这表明运动，即使是剧烈的运动，可能不足以保护你免受久坐的有害影响。）”可知，久坐的行为可能会损害我们的大脑。故选A项。【29题详解】词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句“It then surprisingly turned out that you dont need to move much to enh

61、ance cognition (认知) ; just standing will make it.（结果令人惊讶地发现，你不需要做太多运动来增强认知能力；站着就能做到。）”可知，make it指的就是enhance cognition，下文“For example, two groups of subjects were asked to complete a test while either sitting or standing. Participants are presented with conflicting stimuli (刺激), like the word “green”

62、 in blue ink, and asked to name the color. Subjects thinking on their feet beat those who sat by a 32 millisecond margin.（例如，两组受试者被要求在坐着或站着的时候完成一项测试。参与者面对着相互冲突的刺激物，比如用蓝色墨水写的“绿色”，并被要求说出颜色。站着思考的受试者比坐着思考的受试者多出32毫秒的差距。）”通过一个测试说明站着比坐着更有助于人们的认知，所以可以推断move much to enhance cognition意思是通过运动提升认知，enhance意为“加强，

63、提升”，和C选项 improve“加强”意思接近。A. keep保持；B. weaken弱化；D. decrease减少。故选C项。【30题详解】细节理解题。根据最后一段“I know, this all runs counter to receive ideas about deep thought, from our grade school teachers, who told us to sit down and focus, to Rodins famous “Thinker” seated with chin on hand.（我知道，从小学老师告诉我们要坐下来专注，到罗丹著名的“

64、思想者”手托下巴坐着，这一切都与接受关于深刻思考的观点背道而驰。）”可知，关于深刻思考，人们普遍接受的观点是，当我们思考时，坐着更好。故选B项。【31题详解】主旨大意题。根据第二段“A study published last week, conducted by Dr. Prabha Siddarth at the University of California, showed that sedentary (久坐的) behavior is associated with reduced thickness of the medial temporal lobe (中颞叶), a bra

65、in area that is critical to learning and memory.（加州大学的 Prabha Siddarth博士进行的一项研究显示，久坐行为与大脑内侧颞叶的厚度减少有关。内侧颞叶是学习和记忆的关键区域。）”和第五段“For example, two groups of subjects were asked to complete a test while either sitting or standing. Participants are presented with conflicting stimuli (刺激), like the word “gre

66、en” in blue ink, and asked to name the color. Subjects thinking on their feet beat those who sat by a 32 millisecond margin.（例如，两组受试者被要求在坐着或站着的时候完成一项测试。参与者面对着相互冲突的刺激物，比如用蓝色墨水写的“绿色”，并被要求说出颜色。站着思考的受试者比坐着思考的受试者多出32毫秒的差距。）”以及全文内容可知，文章主要讲述研究发现，站着比坐着更有助于人们的认知，多站立可以让我们的大脑更健康。故选D项。DIn the fall of 1988, I vi

69、e (吊车) began to lift it, the weight of it was so large that it began to crack. Whats more, rain began to fall. The head monk decided to lower the statue back to the ground and cover it with a large oilcloth to protect it from the rain.Later that evening the head monk went to check on the Buddha. He

70、shined his flash-light under the oilcloth to see if the Buddha was staying dry. As the light reached the crack, he noticed a little beam shining back and thought it strange. As he took a closer look at this beam of light, he wondered if there might be something underneath the clay. He went to fetch

71、a chisel and hammer from the monastery and began to chip away at the clay. As he knocked off pieces of clay, the little beam grew brighter and bigger. Many hours of labor went by before the monk stood face to face with the extraordinary solid-gold Buddha.Historians believe that several hundred years

72、 before the head monks discovery, the army was about to invade the country. The monks, realizing that their country would soon be attacked, covered their precious golden Buddha with an outer covering of clay in order to keep their treasure from being robbed by the enemy.Unfortunately, it appears tha

74、 a golden Christ, or a golden spirit, which is our real self. Somewhere along the way, between the ages of two and nine, we begin to cover up our golden spirit, our natural self. Much like the monk with the hammer and the chisel, our task now is to discover our true spirit once again.”32. Why was th

112、从句，修饰先行词the people，且引导词在从句中做主语，所以用who或that引导。故填who/that。【57题详解】考查冠词。句意：然而，坐公共汽车只是生活中必要但无聊的一部分：他们上公共汽车，付费，坐下或在拥挤时找一个地方站着。根据part可知，此处表示坐公共汽车是生活的一部分，应该用单数，所以用不定冠词，又因为necessary以辅音音素开头，所以用冠词a。故填a。【58题详解】考查形容词。句意：每个人似乎都很悲伤和无聊。分析可知，空处和sad连接，做seems的表语，所以用形容词，又因为修饰的主体是everyone，所以用-ed形容词，bored意为“感到无聊的”，符合题意。故

113、填bored。【59题详解】考查时态、语态和主谓一致。句意：首先，在城际大巴上播放电影，让乘客在旅途中获得乐趣。分析可知，句子表达的是一般的情况，要用一般现在时，且films和show之间是动宾关系，所以用一般现在时的被动语态，注意主谓一致。show的过去分词有showed和shown两种形式。故填are showed/shown。【60题详解】考查名词的数。首先，在城际大巴上播放电影，让乘客在旅途中获得乐趣。分析可知，between后面要用名词的复数形式。故填cities。【61题详解】考查介词。句意：当地的公共汽车不播放电影，但司机通常会打开收音机，对乘客来说，感到快乐和舒适地听着歌曲是很

114、棒的。根据句意可知，此处表示“打开收音机”，要用固定短语turn on。故填on。【62题详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：当地的公共汽车不播放电影，但司机通常会打开收音机，对乘客来说，感到快乐和舒适地听着歌曲是很棒的。分析可知，句子为it做形式主语的句型，真正的主语为动词不定式。故填to listen。【63题详解】考查代词，句意：当地的公共汽车总是开往城市中乘客们自己不会去的地方。分析可知，此处表示“亲自”，为固定短语by oneself，所以要用反身代词。故填themselves。【64题详解】考查时态和主谓一致。句意：此外，乘客的语言也是有趣的。分析可知，句子表达的是一般情况，所以用一般现在

115、时，passengers language表示单数，注意主谓一致。故填is。【65题详解】考查副词。句意：经常可以看到一只快乐的狗的头从某人的包里出来，或一只可爱的鸡在某人的胳膊下“愉快地叽叽叫着”。分析可知，修饰动词speaking要用副词，cheerfully意为“愉快地”，符合句意。故填cheerfully。第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分）第一节（满分15分）66. 假定你是李华，你的英国朋友Alex给你发来一封邮件，谈到他对运动的喜爱。请根据以下内容给他回一封邮件。写作内容：1. 他喜欢户外运动和骑自行车；2. 你在运动方面的喜好；3. 你对运动的看法。注意：1.词数80左右；2.

121、d suddenly I had an idea. I might let them give out these flowers to people they met on the street, and in this way they could learn how to be friendly to others.

122、to have a try. So at once we took every single flower and tied a smile card to it. We then went to the street with the flowers.The first flower went to a policeman.

Meanwhile, the kids learned an important lesson in the process. In fact, they cant wait until next time they h

128、ave such a chance again. They want to give out more flowers!【解析】【分析】本篇书面表达是读后续写。【详解】通过阅读所给文章可知，作者高中毕业时收到了很多鲜花，他打算让侄子侄女们把花送给别人，用这样的方式让他们知道如何对别人友好。续写部分分为两段，第一段开头是：只剩下一朵花了，我说应该给最需要的人，所以应该写谁是最需要这朵花的人。要详细描述为什么这个人是最需要这朵花的，同时要刻画当这个人收到花时的感受与表现等。第二段开头是：这对我们来说是伟大的一天。本段应该写我和侄子侄女通过送花这件事的感受及明白的道理。续写时要求短文的词数应为150左右，所以要提前构思，抓住重点，避免长篇大论。【点睛】续写部分描写详略得当，使用了高级词汇和高级句子。如：catch sight of；morethan；cant wait ；give out等高级词汇；With these words，followed by my niece复合结构作状语等高级句式。
