In Dot Man, a player has to pass through a maze (迷宫) without getti

12、ng caught by a dot. On June 10, the public got to play Dot Man and other student-made video games on the outside of the Cira Centre. Ainsley was proud of her accomplishment. “When you see your game on the building,” she said, “youre like Wow, I made this.”Frank Lee founded Skyscraper Video Games for

13、 Kids. Hes a professor of digital media at Drexel University, in Philadelphia. He wanted to involve others in the joy of playing video games. So he found a way to make that happen.“Years ago, I was driving past the Cira Centre,” Lee said. “I thought, Wouldnt it be cool to make a game out of that bui

14、lding?” He noticed there were LED lights fixed between the skyscrapers floors. Lee knew if he could access the buildings computer system, he could control the LED lights. This would allow him to display video games on the skyscraper. People could play these games using a joystick (游戏杆). The joystick

19、e Museum in Paris in the 1980s. He gave us the glass and metal pyramid in the main courtyard, along with three smaller pyramids and a vast subterranean (地下的) addition to the museum entrance.

22、f Art in Washington in 1978 changed peoples ideas of a museum. The site was an odd trapezoid (梯形) shape. Peis solution was to cut it in two.

Or at least, research shows that the opposite is true active hands stimulate your brain to produce chemicals that balance emotions and lower anxiety.In the 19th century anxious women were often given the prescription to knit (编织) because doctors sensed that it kind of calmed them down. Tha

29、t is not to say that anxiety can be cured by knitting. But it does highlight how repetitive hand movements involved in the craft combine with the satisfaction of casting off a finished product to wear or give. It carries mental health benefits at a deep, biochemical level.Other research has focused

30、on knittings emotional benefits. One study showed that knitting lowers the heart rate by 11 beats per minute. Another linked knitting with a decreased chance of developing cognitive impairment (认知障碍) and memory loss. And still others point to positive benefits in managing chronic (慢性的) pain and depr

But,

35、even while some of its neighbors in Europe and elsewhere are quickly swapping physical money for new pay technologies, many Germans prefer their euro bills. Cash is quick and easy to use, they argue. It provides a clear picture of personal spending, keeps transactions (交易) more private and is widely

36、 accepted in the country.A study by the countrys central bank said Germans carried an average of 107 euros in their wallet. 33 Three-quarters of Americans in a U.S. bank survey said they carried less than $50, and one-quarter said they kept $10 or less in their wallet. 34 In 2008, for the first time

According to a report, in Cologne, 48.6% of sales took place with a debit or a credit card, compared with 48.3% in cash.Still, Germany has one of the highest rates of cash use in the European Union. The most important reasons for the close relati

This may be surprising to some. B. Its far more than what Americans carry. C. Change may happen i

39、n future generations. D. Germany is not the only country that prefers cash.E. For much of Germany, however, is still up to date. F. It doesnt matter if youve never heard of the saying.G.

66、涨”，说明参与者都 很感兴趣。故选A。23. C【解析】细节理解题。根据文章第五段可知，当Lee 注意到安装在摩天大厦楼层中间的LED灯时，突然想 到Wouldnt it be cool to make a game out of that building?”。故选 C。24. B【解析】推理判断题。该题考査学生对语篇类型的 感知能力。介绍在某一时间、地点发生的引人注意的 事情,是新闻类文本的基本特征。文本中的引语明显 是被采访者的话语,据此可推测出文本来自报纸、网站 等时效性强的媒体。故选B。B25.【解析】 细节理解题。文章第一段But in the end, the French an

67、d everyone else were won over.可以看出人们最终被说服。这说明人们认可了他的设计。A 项与B项对立不正确。C、D两项原文没有涉及。26.A 【解析】句意猜测题。这句话的意思是他在运用建材方面表现出的才华和技艺达到 了诗歌的水平，即他的建筑风格像诗歌那样优美。此句赞颂了他高潮的建筑造诣。与 A项他是应用材料的大师这一表述吻合。B项他擅长写诗。C项他经常和诗歌和建筑 结合起来。D项他从诗歌中获得设计灵感。A、B、C项均与句意不符。27.B 【解析】事件排序题。从第二段可以看出b最早发生。1964年发生了a事件。1978 年发生c事件。1983年发生d事件。 所以项排序正

68、确。 C【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了编织能减轻焦 虑、有利于心理健康的功用，并且最后总结出让双手劳动 起来有利于身心健康。28.A【解析】词义猜测题。通过文章第一段第一句可知 不劳动、太清闲不利于身心健康； 第二段中“Or at least, research shows that the opposite is true一active hands stimulate your brain to produce chemicals that balance emotions and lower anxiety.表明 active 是 idle 的反义词。故选A。29.B【解析】细节

69、理解题。第三段第一句说医生们觉察 到编织会在某种程度上使患者安 静下来。第二句则说 编织并不能治愈焦虑症。故选B。30.A【解析】主旨大意题。本文主要说明了通过编织等动手劳动能减轻焦虑,有利于心理 健康。其余选项均 为细节信息。故选A。 第二节【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述了在经济发展 领先、科技发达的德国，由于 种种原因，人们依然偏爱现金 支付。31.E 【解析】该句中的the phrase就是指的前一句中 Cash is king这一谚语， “still up to date”与上句中的 “age-old相对，用“ however” 一词表示前后 的转折 关系。32.A【解析】根据

70、该空格后一句开头的“After all”可知 后句是对该空的进一步解释 说明。“After all”后面提 到德国经济在欧洲领先并以技术发达著称，在这样一 个 现代化的国家却仍在沿用传统的现金支付方式，难 免让有些人感到惊讶。33.D【解析】该空前一句提到德国一家银行研究发现德 国人平均每人钱包里会放107 欧元。该空后一句具体 介绍了美国一家银行的相关调查结果。可见，该空是 为了引 出美国的调査结果，以与德国的调査结果作对 比，以此更加突显出德国人对现金的 依赖程度。34.G【解析】根据该空后面的内容可以看出德国人也逐 渐使用信用卡支付等先进支付手 段，所以上文提到德 国人偏爱现金支付并不是

71、说德国人就完全不考虑其他 现代化的 支付手段。35.C【解析】结合上一段和本段第一句可以看出，尽管借记卡、信用卡等支付手段在德 国逐渐被接受，但是德国还是欧盟国家中使用现金支付最多的国家之一。接着说明 了人们钟爱现金支付主要是出于安全考虑。该 空后一句以“But”开头，说明前后句 为转折关系，后面 谈到人们对支付安全的考虑会减缓the process。由 此不难看 出“the process”应该指的是未来人们支付方 式可能发生变化的“进程”。第三部分语言知识运用第一节【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了作者与母亲之间感 人至深的亲情故事。作者的母亲在为作者精心筹备完38 岁的生日后不久患上了

72、记忆障碍，记忆力减退，在两周后 准备了同样的礼物为作者两次庆祝生日。面对生病的母 亲，作者用实际行动回报母亲的爱。36. B【解析】由第六段作者对再次回家探望母亲时看到 的情景的描述可知此处应选 sitting。37. D【解析】母亲在说“Happy birthday!”的同时，应该 是“用手指向”装礼物的盒 子，并告诉作者“Open them.。38. C【解析】根据后半句母亲买给“我”的礼物正是“我” 想要的，可见母亲比任何 人都“更了解我”。better是 well的比较级，well可与know搭配，可表示程度。39. B【解析】此处的hugged与后面的thanked相呼应， 表达了作

73、者对母亲为她筹备生 日的感激之情。40. A【解析】从母亲的答语“Youll run them, off tomorroW 中可以看出，此处作者 说的是蛋糕中的卡路里。41. C【解析】从后文母亲忘记了已经给女儿过完生日， 以及最后一段母亲可能每天跟 作者说上十遍左右同样 的对话，可看出母亲记忆力“衰退”。42. A【解析】signal意为“发信号；表明有患有记忆 力衰退父/母的人有一天“收到 信号或察觉到父/母的 记忆力出现问题。43. B【解析】该空前的that day指的就是上一段中提到 的one day,这样一个日子在 两周后“到来”了。44. D【解析】根据上下文判断，这里应该是作者

74、再次回 家“看望”母亲。45. C【解析】根据该空后面的描述及第一段，可以看出 作者这次到了母亲家看到了与 生日那天同样的 “场景”。46.A【解析】该空与第一段中提到的boxes相呼应。47.D【解析】根据该段与第一段中对作者到母亲家看到 的场景的描述可看出，母亲两次 准备的生日礼物几乎 一模一样，只有包装礼盒用的ribbon的颜色是“不同”的，第 一次是orange,第二次是green。48.B【解析】根据该空后面作者的话“ Whats going on?”可看出，面对眼前的一幕， 作者一开始不知发生了 什么，所以感到很“困惑49.C 【解析】根据作者在第五段提到的记忆力衰退问题 及该空后

75、的“This was real life可看出，此时作者意识 到是母亲的记忆力出现了问题，而非母亲为捉弄自己而 搞的“恶作剧50.A【解析】虽然当天并不是作者生日，但作者知道记 忆力出现问题的母亲也是一片好 心，为使自己“开心” 才准备了这么多礼物。51.D【解析】根据上下文可看出，作者当时尽力平复心 情，努力扮演好一个对母亲为自 己所作的一切表示“感 恩”的女儿的角色，该空与后文的hugged, thanked相 呼应。52.A【解析】根据上文作者说母亲在生日那天送她的衣 服正是她想要的，可看出作者非 常喜欢该礼物，此处作 者应该是装作像生日当天一样欣喜地“欣赏”衣服。53.B【解析】此处t
