28、ed up a chair.“They began telling me all the news of Mississippi，” Welty said.“I didnt know what my New York friends were thinking.”Taxis on a rainy New York night are rarer than those in sunshine.By the time the group got up to leave, it was pouring outside.Weltys new friends immediately sent a wai

29、ter to find a cab.Heading back downtown toward her hotel, her bigcity friends were amazed at the turn of events that had changed their Big Apple dinner into a Mississippi state reunion(团聚)“My friends said: Now we believe your stories，” Welty added.“And I said: Now you know.These are the people that

31、 hats, Weltys people come from afternoons spent visiting with old friends, from walks through the streets of her native Jackson, Miss, from conversations overheard on a bus.It annoys Welty that, at 78, her left ear has now given out.Sometimes, sitting on a bus or a train, she hears only a fragment(片

32、段) of a particularly interesting story.本文为记叙文，介绍了美国著名女作家Eudora Welty在纽约的一次经历，并以此作为背景说明她的创作源于生活。21What happened when Welty was with her friends at the cafe?ATwo strangers joined her.BHer childhood friends came in.CA heavy rain ruined the dinner.DSome people held a party there.解析 A细节理解题。第三段中的the woman

35、rmarkets. We also took note of individual characteristics. When it came to making unhealthy food choices, a consumers individual characteristics mattered more than where they shopped. Young consumers were less likely to eat fruits and vegetables. People without college degrees consumed significantly

36、 more sugar and butter. With age and education came better eating habits. Older people and college graduates ate more fruits and vegetables. The clear role played by these connections argues for approaches to helping people improve the diet choices they make. Particularly when it comes to eating les

37、s junk food, targeted interventions(干预) are needed in addition to building supermarkets and stocking them with “good for you” foods. Policymakers should consider putting in place proven strategies(策略) that push consumers to change their shopping behaviors, such as taxing foods high in added sugars.

38、In 2014, Berkeley became the first city in the US. to put a tax on sugarsweetened drinks, and consumption of such drinks dropped by more than 20 percent. In Mexico, an 8 percent tax on highcalorie foods put in place the same year reduced junk food purchases by about 5 percent. Evidence that people w

39、ith lower levels of education may be more likely to reduce their consumption of sugarsweetened drinks in the face of such a tax also comes from Mexico. With more US. cities following suit, muchneeded additional research should follow on whether these taxes effectively reduce consumption. Some strate

40、gies that are not obvious and are aimed at changing individual behaviors also could make a difference in eating and shopping habits. Instore marketingwhere and how foods are puthas shown promise of increasing the sales of healthy foods in supermarkets of lowincome neighborhoods. Technology may also

41、play a role. Research has shown that just being exposed to electronically delivered dietary feedback (反馈), including advice on how to eat more fruits and vegetables, led to increased consumption of such foods among lowerincome individuals with lower levels of education.本文为议论文。研究发现，个人特点，如年龄和受教育程度，与个人

42、饮食习惯存在关联。对此，作者提到从税收政策、市场营销和科技三个方面来改善个人饮食习惯。24Which of the following would the author agree from the first paragraph?APersonal tastes vary greatly. BYou are what you eat.CYou eat what you are.

44、选B项。26How does the author feel about the taxes?ADoubtful. BOpposed. CIndifferent.

BThe importance of healthy fo

45、ods.CPeoples different food preferences. DA latest research discovery.解析 A主旨大意题。作者开篇提到一项研究发现，由此引出改善个人饮食习惯的几种方法。所以作者主要在文中谈了改善个人饮食习惯的方法，故选A项。CReuel Tolkien(18921973), the British linguist, writer.He created a fantasy novel “The Lord of the Rings”， the wellknown trilogy(三部曲)Tolkien was born in Bloemfon

46、tein, South Africa.When he was 4 years old, his father died and his family moved back to England.Tolkien graduated from Oxford University when he was 23 years old，and participated in the First World War.During the war, Tolkien suffered from “trench fever” and stayed in the hospital until the end of

47、World War IIt was during the days in the hospital that he began his writing career first.After the war, Tolkien became a linguist.He was an editor of the “New English Dictionary” of 19181920.However, he was more researching to AngloSaxon language which makes his extensive contacts in Britain and the

48、 Nordic spread all over the folklore and mythology.In 1937，Tolkien completed his first work “The Hobbit.” Although this was a fairy tale, it was also suitable for adults to read.Because of good sales, publishers(Allen & Unwin) convinced Tolkien to write its sequel(续篇)This encouraged Tolkien to compl

49、ete his most famous works, the epic(史诗) trilogy “The Lord of the Rings.” The works of writing went on for almost a year with the support from his good friend Lewis.At the beginning, “The Lord of the Rings” was similar works for children, but after that writing style quickly became serious and dark.“

50、The Lord of the Rings” was one of the most popular literary works in the 20th century, in terms of sales and readers evaluation.Tolkiens influence is important, for the success of “The Lord of the Rings” makes the fantasy novels of this literature genre(体裁) develop rapidly.本文为人物传记，介绍了指环王的作者Reuel Tol

51、kien的生平以及创作过程。28When did Tolkien take part in World War I?A1896. B1915. C1916. D1937.解析 B推理判断题。根据第一段第一句中的Reuel Tolkien (18921973)以及第二段第三句可知，Reuel Tolkien生于1892年，他23岁时参加了第一次世界大战，据此可以判断，他是在1915年参加第一次世界大战的，故选B项。29What can we know about the text?ATolkiens father died of “trench fever”BTolkien wrote the

55、e are able to understand our conversations.Words can mean so many different things.However, it turns out that the speaking situation helps a lot in making language work.First，the speaking situation helps make words more particular.For example, the word “dog” can describe a dog that a speaker saw in

56、a dream.It can also be used to discuss a neighbors dog.No language has a separate word for the idea “dog that I saw yesterday” and another word for the idea “dog that I saw in a dream”. This is because the speaking situation makes it clear what speakers mean when they use words.So, when you have a c

57、onversation with your neighbor, the knowledge that you have a dog tells your neighbor what the word “dog” probably means in that situation.The speaking situation also helps make language clearer.For example，the word “bank” has two possible meanings.It can mean “a place where people keep money”， but

58、it can also mean “the side of a river”. So the sentence “I went to the bank” is not clear.It could mean I went to the side of the river or it could mean I went to the place where my money is kept.However, if the speaker is talking about fishing or going to the mountains，others probably know that “ba

59、nk” means “the side of a river”The things that speakers say may not always be clear.Sometimes the words are not very particular，but the speaking situation can provide the meaning.Other times words may have many meanings.Then the speaking situation limits the right meaning.This extra knowledge from t

60、he situation is very important to understand language.本文为说明文，介绍了语境对语言的理解起着很大作用。32The passage is mainly about_.Athe best time and place to talk to others Bhow the speaking situation helps language work Cwhat to say in difficult situationsDhow our language works解析 B主旨大意题。根据第一段最后一句可知，本文讲述了语境对语言的理解起着很大作

61、用，故选B项。33According to the passage, we can safely say that _.Aa speaking situation does not affect the meaning of wordsBspeaking is not very natural for most people Ca speaking situation is not important Dpeople often do not consider how talking works 解析 D细节理解题。根据第一段第一、二句可知，人们并不常思考语言是如何发挥作用的，故选D项。34B

62、y using the example of the word “dog”， the writer wants to show that_.Aa word may need to be explained in a conversationBa word may have different meaningsCthe speaking situation helps people understand the particular meaning of a wordDthe meaning of words is not particular解析 C推理判断题。根据第二段第一句和下文中的For

63、 example可知，下文正是用dog一词举例来论证第二段第一句，人们讲话的语境有助于理解单词的具体含义，故选C项。35According to the passage, we can know the meaning of the word “bank” by referring to_.Athe time and the place where the conversation happensBthe occupation of the person who uses the wordCearlier or later parts of the conversationDa reliabl

64、e dictionary解析 C细节理解题。根据第三段内容可知，作者用bank一词举例说明对话中这个词之前或之后的部分决定了这个词的含义，故选C项。第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Since the day of its birth, the United Nations has been the subject of much debate._36_Others think that it is too weak.We can better understand this debate if we l

70、.FThese weapons made it almost impossible for a country to defend itself.GSome people attack the organization because they think it is too powerful.本文为说明文，主要介绍了联合国建立的背景以及过程。36解析 G转折关系。空处与下一句Others think that it is too weak形成对比，故选G项。37解析 E递进关系。E项中的They also felt与上一句They felt内容相关，意思递进，故选E项。38解析 F顺承关系。
