According to a University of Michigan study, kids spent two fewer hours each week on outdoor activities in the early 2000s than kids did in the early 1980s. Indoor activities without moving are more popular. Most people in the study spend most of their free time watching TV (85%) or playing computer games(81%). “This causes over-weight, greater stress and more physical and emotional(情绪的) illnesses,” says Richard Louv, a nature writer.
In fact, outdoor activities such as taking a friend along, kicking around a ball and taking photos can help. It is important for kids to play outside.
Firstly, outdoor activities open up your senses. You will feel better after spending time outside. “Surfing, camping and fishing help bring all of your senses to life,” says Betsy Keller, a professor at Ithaca College in New York. “Smell, sight ... they’re all active when you’re outside.” With your senses getting stronger, you’ll feel free and more creative.
Playing outside helps your body. When playing outside, you can be on hills, beaches or lakes instead of a flat floor. Different areas offer special fun and challenge your strength and balance. It also helps keep your body’s clock on track so that you sleep better at night and feel less sleepy during the day.
Outdoor play also makes your mind relax. Too much time indoors, such as watching TV or activities in non-green areas, may make it hard for kids to focus their attention and easy to feel stressed out. But staying in the nature helps them concentrate and lowers their stress levels.
Besides, spending time outdoors brings you closer to the environment. Hearing the leaves crackle underfoot, breathing in fresh air, walking through the woods in search of cool birds remind you of the beauty of the nature. You needn’t go to the countryside.________ . It can be your own backyard or that block of trees at the end of the street.
So the next time you sit down to spend time with a TV, consider treating yourself to a little outdoor play instead.
19. The first paragraph mainly tells us ________.
A. kids spend more time playing video games now
B. kids can take part in different kinds of activities
C. too many indoor activities are not good for kids’ health
D. outdoor activities will become more popular in the future
20. How many advantages of outdoor activities are mentioned?
A. Three. B. Four. C. Five. D. Six.
21. Which of the following is the best to fill in “ ” in the passage?
A. There are bits of nature everywhere.
B. You can enjoy yourself in the countryside.
C. There are more and more parks today.
D. You should protect the beautiful nature.
22. The purpose of the passage is to ________.
A. tell kids ways how to deal with stress
B. remind people of the happy old times
C. introduce different kinds of outdoor activities
D. encourage kids to spend more time outdoors
D
The first Starbucks coffee shop opened in 1971 in downtown Seattle, Washington, D. C., in the United States. It was a small coffee shop that roasted its own coffee beans. The coffee shop's business did well, and by 1981 there were three more Starbucks shops in Seattle.
Things really began to change for the company in 1981. That year, Howard Schultz met the three men who ran Starbucks. Schultz worked in New York for a company that made kitchen equipment. He noticed that Starbucks ordered a large number of special coffee makers and he was curious about the company. Schultz went to Seattle to see what Starbucks did, and he liked what he saw. He wanted to become part of the company. In 1982, the original （原先的）Starbucks owners hired Schultz as the company's head of marketing.
In 1983, Schultz travelled to Italy. The unique atmosphere of the coffee bars there caught his eye. To Schultz it seemed that Italians spent their daily lives in three places: home, workplace, and coffee bar. His experience in Italy gave Schultz a new idea for Starbucks back in Seattle.
Schultz created an atmosphere for Starbucks coffee shops that was comfortable, and customers everywhere seemed to like it. Between 1987 and 1992, Starbucks opened 150 new shops—and that was only the beginning. In fact, by the year 2000, three new Starbucks shops opened somewhere around the world every day!
Today, Starbucks has thousands of stores, including stores in twenty-six countries. One thing that helps make Starbucks succeed in cities outside the United States is the way Starbucks works with local stores and restaurants. By working together with a store already in the city, Starbucks gets an understanding of customers in the city. This understanding helps Starbucks open stores in the right locations for their customers.
23. What is the main idea of this passage?
A. How Starbucks has grown. B. What Starbucks makes.
C. Starbucks' customers. D. How Starbucks makes its coffee.
24. Which is TRUE about Starbucks' first ten years of business?
A. It grew very quickly. B. It was run by Howard Schultz.
C. It made special coffee makers. D. It was a small company.
25. What helps Starbucks succeed in places outside the United States?
A. Opening restaurants in just a few locations each year.
B. Only selling locally produced coffee beans.
C. Working with other major coffee-making companies.
D. Learning about local customers.
26. Which shows the right order according to the passage?
a. One hundred and fifty new shops opened.
b. Howard met three owners of Starbucks.
c. Howard got a new idea for Starbucks.
d. Starbucks is popular all over the world.
e. Howard was a member of a company which made kitchen equipment
A. b-e-a-d-c B. e-b-c-a-d C. e-c-a-b-d D. b-e-c-a-d

My First Marathon
A month before my first marathon, one of my knees was hurt and this meant not running for two weeks, leaving me only two weeks to train. Yet, I decided to go ahead.
I remember back to my 7th year in school. In my first P.E. class, the teacher asked us to run laps and then hit a ball. I didn’t do either well. He later told me that I was “not athletic”.
The idea that I was “not athletic” stuck with me for years. When I started running in my 30s, I realized running was a fight against myself, not about competition or whether or not I was athletic. It was all about the fight against my own body and mind.
The night before my marathon, I dreamt that I couldn’t even find the finish line. I woke up sweating (流汗) all over, but ready to face the challenge.
Shortly after crossing the start line, my shoe laces became undone. So I stopped to tie them again. Not the start I wanted!
At mile 3, I passed a sign: “GO FOR IT, RUNNERS!”
By mile 17, I became out of breath and my knee hurt badly. Though feeling very painful, I stayed the course walking a bit and then running again.
By mile 21, I was quite hungry and thirsty!
As I drew closer to mile 23, I could see my wife waving a sign. She is my biggest fan. She never minded the alarm clock sounding at 4 a.m. or questioned my cost on running.
I was one of the final runners to finish. But I finished! And I got a medal. In fact, I got the same medal as the one that the guy who came in the first place had.
Decide to be myself move forward, free of shame and worldly labels(标签), I can now call myself a “marathon winner”.
27. The writer started running in his 30s because ________.
A. he would like to show he was good at sports
B. he hoped to change his P.E. teacher’s opinion
C. he wanted to challenge his own body and mind
D. he wished to become the winner of marathon
28. It can be inferred from Paragraph 4 that the writer was ________ before marathon.
A. proud and excited B. scared and hopeless
C. tired but hopeful D. nervous but strong-minded
29. How was the writer’s first marathon?
A. He gave up halfway. B. He made it in the end.
C. He got the first prize. D. He walked to the end.
30. What is the right order of the following events according to the passage?
a My wife cheered for me.
b. I hurt my knee and stopped training.
c. I stopped to tie my shoe laces.
d. I went on running though my knee hurt badly.
A. d-a-b-c B. b-a-c-d C. b-c-d-a D. d-c-b-a

If wearing Google Glass- a pair of smart glasses—on your face isn’t cool enough, you might want to take a look at Nokia’s new skirt. It’s made of 80 mobile phones! It’s believed to be the world’s first smart skirt and has been shown at London Fashion (时装)Week. The smart skirt was created by the mobile phone company Nokia, fashion designer(设计师) Fyodor Golan and creative design house Kin.
It’s not easy to make a smart skirt. It took three months to complete it. The biggest challenge in making the skirt was getting all of the mobile phones on the skirt, and allowing all the mobile phones to work together. The screens are all connected to a computer. As the skirt moves, the screens change color and the skirt looks like silk. That’s not the only trick. The mobile phones are also connected to a hidden camera in the wearer’s hat. The screens can show what the wearer is seeing.
Unsurprisingly, the skirt won’t be making its way to shops. Instead, it’s more of an art piece. Nokia said they wanted to find a way to connect the smart technology and fashion together. “We used drawings, 3D printing, and programming languages to ‘build’the skirt, ” explained Nokia.
How many mobile phones are used in the smart skirt?
① are used.
How long did it take to make this smart skirt?
It took ② .
How about getting all of the mobile phones on the skirt, and allowing them together?
It is ③ in making the skirt.
Why did Nokia make this smart skirt?
They wanted to find a way to connect the smart ④ together.
What did they use to ‘build’the smart skirt?
Drawings, 3D printing, and ⑤ .
56. ①________
57. ②________
58. ③________
59. ④________
60. ⑤________

According to a University of Michigan study, kids spent two fewer hours each week on outdoor activities in the early 2000s than kids did in the early 1980s. Indoor activities without moving are more popular. Most people in the study spend most of their free time watching TV (85%) or playing computer games(81%). “This causes over-weight, greater stress and more physical and emotional(情绪的) illnesses,” says Richard Louv, a nature writer.
In fact, outdoor activities such as taking a friend along, kicking around a ball and taking photos can help. It is important for kids to play outside.
Firstly, outdoor activities open up your senses. You will feel better after spending time outside. “Surfing, camping and fishing help bring all of your senses to life,” says Betsy Keller, a professor at Ithaca College in New York. “Smell, sight ... they’re all active when you’re outside.” With your senses getting stronger, you’ll feel free and more creative.
Playing outside helps your body. When playing outside, you can be on hills, beaches or lakes instead of a flat floor. Different areas offer special fun and challenge your strength and balance. It also helps keep your body’s clock on track so that you sleep better at night and feel less sleepy during the day.
Outdoor play also makes your mind relax. Too much time indoors, such as watching TV or activities in non-green areas, may make it hard for kids to focus their attention and easy to feel stressed out. But staying in the nature helps them concentrate and lowers their stress levels.
Besides, spending time outdoors brings you closer to the environment. Hearing the leaves crackle underfoot, breathing in fresh air, walking through the woods in search of cool birds remind you of the beauty of the nature. You needn’t go to the countryside.________ . It can be your own backyard or that block of trees at the end of the street.
So the next time you sit down to spend time with a TV, consider treating yourself to a little outdoor play instead.
19. The first paragraph mainly tells us ________.
A. kids spend more time playing video games now
B. kids can take part in different kinds of activities
C. too many indoor activities are not good for kids’ health
D. outdoor activities will become more popular in the future
20. How many advantages of outdoor activities are mentioned?
A. Three. B. Four. C. Five. D. Six.
21. Which of the following is the best to fill in “ ” in the passage?
A. There are bits of nature everywhere.
B. You can enjoy yourself in the countryside.
C. There are more and more parks today.
D. You should protect the beautiful nature.

The first Starbucks coffee shop opened in 1971 in downtown Seattle, Washington, D. C., in the United States. It was a small coffee shop that roasted its own coffee beans. The coffee shop's business did well, and by 1981 there were three more Starbucks shops in Seattle.
Things really began to change for the company in 1981. That year, Howard Schultz met the three men who ran Starbucks. Schultz worked in New York for a company that made kitchen equipment. He noticed that Starbucks ordered a large number of special coffee makers and he was curious about the company. Schultz went to Seattle to see what Starbucks did, and he liked what he saw. He wanted to become part of the company. In 1982, the original （原先的）Starbucks owners hired Schultz as the company's head of marketing.
In 1983, Schultz travelled to Italy. The unique atmosphere of the coffee bars there caught his eye. To Schultz it seemed that Italians spent their daily lives in three places: home, workplace, and coffee bar. His experience in Italy gave Schultz a new idea for Starbucks back in Seattle.
Schultz created an atmosphere for Starbucks coffee shops that was comfortable, and customers everywhere seemed to like it. Between 1987 and 1992, Starbucks opened 150 new shops—and that was only the beginning. In fact, by the year 2000, three new Starbucks shops opened somewhere around the world every day!
Today, Starbucks has thousands of stores, including stores in twenty-six countries. One thing that helps make Starbucks succeed in cities outside the United States is the way Starbucks works with local stores and restaurants. By working together with a store already in the city, Starbucks gets an understanding of customers in the city. This understanding helps Starbucks open stores in the right locations for their customers.
23. What is the main idea of this passage?
A. How Starbucks has grown. B. What Starbucks makes.
C. Starbucks' customers. D. How Starbucks makes its coffee.
24. Which is TRUE about Starbucks' first ten years of business?
A. It grew very quickly. B. It was run by Howard Schultz.
C. It made special coffee makers. D. It was a small company.
25. What helps Starbucks succeed in places outside the United States?
A. Opening restaurants in just a few locations each year.
B. Only selling locally produced coffee beans.
C. Working with other major coffee-making companies.
D. Learning about local customers.
26. Which shows the right order according to the passage?
a. One hundred and fifty new shops opened.
b. Howard met three owners of Starbucks.
c. Howard got a new idea for Starbucks.
d. Starbucks is popular all over the world.
e. Howard was a member of a company which made kitchen equipment
A. b-e-a-d-c B. e-b-c-a-d C. e-c-a-b-d D. b-e-c-a-d

My First Marathon
A month before my first marathon, one of my knees was hurt and this meant not running for two weeks, leaving me only two weeks to train. Yet, I decided to go ahead.
I remember back to my 7th year in school. In my first P.E. class, the teacher asked us to run laps and then hit a ball. I didn’t do either well. He later told me that I was “not athletic”.
The idea that I was “not athletic” stuck with me for years. When I started running in my 30s, I realized running was a fight against myself, not about competition or whether or not I was athletic. It was all about the fight against my own body and mind.
The night before my marathon, I dreamt that I couldn’t even find the finish line. I woke up sweating (流汗) all over, but ready to face the challenge.
Shortly after crossing the start line, my shoe laces became undone. So I stopped to tie them again. Not the start I wanted!
At mile 3, I passed a sign: “GO FOR IT, RUNNERS!”
By mile 17, I became out of breath and my knee hurt badly. Though feeling very painful, I stayed the course walking a bit and then running again.
By mile 21, I was quite hungry and thirsty!
As I drew closer to mile 23, I could see my wife waving a sign. She is my biggest fan. She never minded the alarm clock sounding at 4 a.m. or questioned my cost on running.
I was one of the final runners to finish. But I finished! And I got a medal. In fact, I got the same medal as the one that the guy who came in the first place had.
Decide to be myself, move forward, free of shame and worldly labels(标签), I can now call myself a “marathon winner”.
27. The writer started running in his 30s because ________.
A. he would like to show he was good at sports
B. he hoped to change his P.E. teacher’s opinion
C. he wanted to challenge his own body and mind
D. he wished to become the winner of marathon
28. It can be inferred from Paragraph 4 that the writer was ________ before marathon.
A. proud and excited B. scared and hopeless
C. tired but hopeful D. nervous but strong-minded
29. How was the writer’s first marathon?
A. He gave up halfway. B. He made it in the end.
C. He got the first prize. D. He walked to the end.
30. What is the right order of the following events according to the passage?
a. My wife cheered for me.
b. I hurt my knee and stopped training.
c. I stopped to tie my shoe laces.
d. I went on running though my knee hurt badly.
A. d-a-b-c B. b-a-c-d C. b-c-d-a D. d-c-b-a

根据上文“With his mom's agreement, Christian began growing out his blond hair”在妈妈的同意下，克里丝森开始留起他的金发。结合“However, as his hair grew longer and …, some jokes started”可知是随着他的头发变得更长更厚，一些笑话开始了。and连接两个并列成分，由前面的longer更长的，可知此处用形容词比较级thicker表示“更厚的”，故答案为thicker。
【49题详解】
句意：有时他的同学会嘲笑他。
根据下文“You look like a girl”你看起来像个女孩，可推测表达“有时他的同学会嘲笑他”，这里用classmate的复数形式classmates，对应下一句的they，故答案为classmates。
【50题详解】
句意：他妈妈和克里丝森一起外出的时候，习惯了听到别人说“你的‘女儿’很漂亮”。
根据下文"Your 'daughter' is so pretty"“你的‘女儿’很漂亮”。可知这是当他妈妈和克里丝森一起外出的时候，听到别人说的话。此处用动词hear。be used to doing sth.是固定搭配，意为“习惯于做某事”，hear变成hearing。故答案为hearing。
【51题详解】
句意：有时，这些话让克里丝森很沮丧，但他的妈妈总是设法让他振作起来。
根据上文Sometimes, these words made Christian upset,有时，这些话使克里丝森感到沮丧。try to do sth.试图做某事；由转折词but，可知此处表达“但他的妈妈总是设法让他振作起来”。用动词短语cheer sb. up表示“使某人振作起来”。故答案为cheer。
【52题详解】
句意：理发的大日子终于在上周三来临了。
根据下文“The family came to Christian's room and his mom cut his hair”一家人来到克里丝森的房间，他的妈妈给他剪了头发。结合“The big haircut day”可知此处用副词finally表示“最后、终于”。故答案为finally。
【53题详解】
句意：然后他的头发被送到慈善机构。
it指代的是头发，此处用send表示“送到慈善机构”，动词和主语之间是被动关系，用一般过去时态的被动形式was sent。故答案为was sent。
【54题详解】
句意：至于克里丝森，他说又有了短发感觉很棒。
根据“Christian，he said”此处用短语as for表达“至于”；句首首字母a大写。故答案为As for。
【55题详解】
句意：在某个地方，另一个孩子也会因为克里丝森而感觉良好。
根据前文讲述他们把头发送给了慈善机构，所以在某个地方，另一个没有头发的孩子会感觉很好，因为克里丝森把头发捐赠给了他。此处用another表示“另一个”。故答案为another。

According to a University of Michigan study, kids spent two fewer hours each week on outdoor activities in the early 2000s than kids did in the early 1980s. Indoor activities without moving are more popular. Most people in the study spend most of their free time watching TV (85%) or playing computer games(81%). “This causes over-weight, greater stress and more physical and emotional(情绪的) illnesses,” says Richard Louv, a nature writer.
In fact, outdoor activities such as taking a friend along, kicking around a ball and taking photos can help. It is important for kids to play outside.
Firstly, outdoor activities open up your senses. You will feel better after spending time outside. “Surfing, camping and fishing help bring all of your senses to life,” says Betsy Keller, a professor at Ithaca College in New York. “Smell, sight ... they’re all active when you’re outside.” With your senses getting stronger, you’ll feel free and more creative.
Playing outside helps your body. When playing outside, you can be on hills, beaches or lakes instead of a flat floor. Different areas offer special fun and challenge your strength and balance. It also helps keep your body’s clock on track so that you sleep better at night and feel less sleepy during the day.
Outdoor play also makes your mind relax. Too much time indoors, such as watching TV or activities in non-green areas, may make it hard for kids to focus their attention and easy to feel stressed out. But staying in the nature helps them concentrate and lowers their stress levels.
Besides, spending time outdoors brings you closer to the environment. Hearing the leaves crackle underfoot, breathing in fresh air, walking through the woods in search of cool birds remind you of the beauty of the nature. You needn’t go to the countryside.________ . It can be your own backyard or that block of trees at the end of the street.
So the next time you sit down to spend time with a TV, consider treating yourself to a little outdoor play instead.
19. The first paragraph mainly tells us ________.
A. kids spend more time playing video games now
B. kids can take part in different kinds of activities
C. too many indoor activities are not good for kids’ health
D. outdoor activities will become more popular in the future
20. How many advantages of outdoor activities are mentioned?
A. Three. B. Four. C. Five. D. Six.
21. Which of the following is the best to fill in “ ” in the passage?
A. There are bits of nature everywhere.
B. You can enjoy yourself in the countryside.
C. There are more and more parks today.
D. You should protect the beautiful nature.
22. The purpose of the passage is to ________.
A. tell kids ways how to deal with stress
B. remind people of the happy old times
C. introduce different kinds of outdoor activities
D. encourage kids to spend more time outdoors

The first Starbucks coffee shop opened in 1971 in downtown Seattle, Washington, D. C., in the United States. It was a small coffee shop that roasted its own coffee beans. The coffee shop's business did well, and by 1981 there were three more Starbucks shops in Seattle.
Things really began to change for the company in 1981. That year, Howard Schultz met the three men who ran Starbucks. Schultz worked in New York for a company that made kitchen equipment. He noticed that Starbucks ordered a large number of special coffee makers and he was curious about the company. Schultz went to Seattle to see what Starbucks did, and he liked what he saw. He wanted to become part of the company. In 1982, the original （原先的）Starbucks owners hired Schultz as the company's head of marketing.
In 1983, Schultz travelled to Italy. The unique atmosphere of the coffee bars there caught his eye. To Schultz it seemed that Italians spent their daily lives in three places: home, workplace, and coffee bar. His experience in Italy gave Schultz a new idea for Starbucks back in Seattle.
Schultz created an atmosphere for Starbucks coffee shops that was comfortable, and customers everywhere seemed to like it. Between 1987 and 1992, Starbucks opened 150 new shops—and that was only the beginning. In fact, by the year 2000, three new Starbucks shops opened somewhere around the world every day!
Today, Starbucks has thousands of stores, including stores in twenty-six countries. One thing that helps make Starbucks succeed in cities outside the United States is the way Starbucks works with local stores and restaurants. By working together with a store already in the city, Starbucks gets an understanding of customers in the city. This understanding helps Starbucks open stores in the right locations for their customers.
23. What is the main idea of this passage?
A. How Starbucks has grown. B. What Starbucks makes.
C. Starbucks' customers. D. How Starbucks makes its coffee.
24. Which is TRUE about Starbucks' first ten years of business?
A. It grew very quickly. B. It was run by Howard Schultz.
C. It made special coffee makers. D. It was a small company.
25. What helps Starbucks succeed in places outside the United States?
A. Opening restaurants in just a few locations each year.
B. Only selling locally produced coffee beans.
C. Working with other major coffee-making companies.
D. Learning about local customers.
26. Which shows the right order according to the passage?
a. One hundred and fifty new shops opened.
b. Howard met three owners of Starbucks.
c. Howard got a new idea for Starbucks.
d. Starbucks is popular all over the world.
e. Howard was a member of a company which made kitchen equipment

My First Marathon
A month before my first marathon, one of my knees was hurt and this meant not running for two weeks, leaving me only two weeks to train. Yet, I decided to go ahead.
I remember back to my 7th year in school. In my first P.E. class, the teacher asked us to run laps and then hit a ball. I didn’t do either well. He later told me that I was “not athletic”.
The idea that I was “not athletic” stuck with me for years. When I started running in my 30s, I realized running was a fight against myself, not about competition or whether or not I was athletic. It was all about the fight against my own body and mind.
The night before my marathon, I dreamt that I couldn’t even find the finish line. I woke up sweating (流汗) all over, but ready to face the challenge.
Shortly after crossing the start line, my shoe laces became undone. So I stopped to tie them again. Not the start I wanted!
At mile 3, I passed a sign: “GO FOR IT, RUNNERS!”
By mile 17, I became out of breath and my knee hurt badly. Though feeling very painful, I stayed the course walking a bit and then running again.
By mile 21, I was quite hungry and thirsty!
As I drew closer to mile 23, I could see my wife waving a sign. She is my biggest fan. She never minded the alarm clock sounding at 4 a.m. or questioned my cost on running.
I was one of the final runners to finish. But I finished! And I got a medal. In fact, I got the same medal as the one that the guy who came in the first place had.
Decide to be myself move forward, free of shame and worldly labels(标签), I can now call myself a “marathon winner”.
27. The writer started running in his 30s because ________.
A. he would like to show he was good at sports
B. he hoped to change his P.E. teacher’s opinion
C. he wanted to challenge his own body and mind
D. he wished to become the winner of marathon
28. It can be inferred from Paragraph 4 that the writer was ________ before marathon.
A. proud and excited B. scared and hopeless
C. tired but hopeful D. nervous but strong-minded
29. How was the writer’s first marathon?
A. He gave up halfway. B. He made it in the end.
C. He got the first prize. D. He walked to the end.
30. What is the right order of the following events according to the passage?

b. I hurt my knee and stopped training.
c. I stopped to tie my shoe laces.

According to a University of Michigan study, kids spent two fewer hours each week on outdoor activities in the early 2000s than kids did in the early 1980s. Indoor activities without moving are more popular. Most people in the study spend most of their free time watching TV (85%) or playing computer games(81%). “This causes over-weight, greater stress and more physical and emotional(情绪的) illnesses,” says Richard Louv, a nature writer.
In fact, outdoor activities such as taking a friend along, kicking around a ball and taking photos can help. It is important for kids to play outside.
Firstly, outdoor activities open up your senses. You will feel better after spending time outside. “Surfing, camping and fishing help bring all of your senses to life,” says Betsy Keller, a professor at Ithaca College in New York. “Smell, sight ... they’re all active when you’re outside.” With your senses getting stronger, you’ll feel free and more creative.
Playing outside helps your body. When playing outside, you can be on hills, beaches or lakes instead of a flat floor. Different areas offer special fun and challenge your strength and balance. It also helps keep your body’s clock on track so that you sleep better at night and feel less sleepy during the day.
Outdoor play also makes your mind relax. Too much time indoors, such as watching TV or activities in non-green areas, may make it hard for kids to focus their attention and easy to feel stressed out. But staying in the nature helps them concentrate and lowers their stress levels.
Besides, spending time outdoors brings you closer to the environment. Hearing the leaves crackle underfoot, breathing in fresh air, walking through the woods in search of cool birds remind you of the beauty of the nature. You needn’t go to the countryside.________ . It can be your own backyard or that block of trees at the end of the street.
So the next time you sit down to spend time with a TV, consider treating yourself to a little outdoor play instead.
19. The first paragraph mainly tells us ________.
A. kids spend more time playing video games now
B. kids can take part in different kinds of activities
C. too many indoor activities are not good for kids’ health
D. outdoor activities will become more popular in the future
20. How many advantages of outdoor activities are mentioned?
A. Three. B. Four. C. Five. D. Six.
21. Which of the following is the best to fill in “ ” in the passage?
A. There are bits of nature everywhere.
B. You can enjoy yourself in the countryside.
C. There are more and more parks today.
D. You should protect the beautiful nature.
22. The purpose of the passage is to ________.
A. tell kids ways how to deal with stress
B. remind people of the happy old times
C. introduce different kinds of outdoor activities
D. encourage kids to spend more time outdoors
【答案】19. A 20. B 21. A 22. D

【19题详解】
细节理解题，根据第一段中“Most people in the study spend most of their free time watching TV (85%) or playing computer games(81%).研究中的大多数人把大部分空闲时间都花在看电视(85%)或玩电脑游戏(81%)上。”，可知孩子们现在花更多的时间玩电子游戏，故选A。
【20题详解】
细节理解题，根据三、四、五、六自然段的首句“Firstly, outdoor activities open up your senses. Playing outside helps your body. Outdoor play also makes your mind relax. Besides, spending time outdoors brings you closer to the environment. 首先，户外活动能打开你的感官。在户外玩耍对你的身体有好处。户外游戏也能让你的头脑放松。此外，花时间在户外会让你更接近环境。”可知一共提到四条好处，故选B。
【21题详解】
推理判断题，根据该空的前后部分“You needn’t go to the countryside.你不必去乡下。” It can be your own backyard or that block of trees at the end of the street.和“它可以是你自己的后院，也可以是街道尽头的那块树。”，结合选项A. There are bits of nature everywhere. 到处都是大自然的痕迹；B. You can enjoy yourself in the countryside. 你可以在乡下玩得很开心；C. There are more and more parks today. 今天有越来越多的公园；D. You should protect the beautiful nature. 你应该保护美丽的自然。那么应该说的是其实除了乡下到处都有大自然，在街角或后院，故选A。
【22题详解】
主旨大意题，根据第一段阐述了不动的室内活动更受欢迎，大多数人把大部分空闲时间都花在看电视(85%)或玩电脑游戏(81%)上。并根据文章第二段“In fact, outdoor activities such as taking a friend along, kicking around a ball and taking photos can help. It is important for kids to play outside.事实上，户外活动，如带朋友一起去，踢球和拍照都会有所帮助。对孩子们来说，在户外玩耍是很重要的。”及最后一段“So the next time you sit down to spend time with a TV, consider treating yourself to a little outdoor play instead.所以下次你坐下来看电视的时候，可以考虑享受一下户外游戏。”可知应该是鼓励孩子们多花些时间在户外，故选D。

The first Starbucks coffee shop opened in 1971 in downtown Seattle, Washington, D. C., in the United States. It was a small coffee shop that roasted its own coffee beans. The coffee shop's business did well, and by 1981 there were three more Starbucks shops in Seattle.
Things really began to change for the company in 1981. That year, Howard Schultz met the three men who ran Starbucks. Schultz worked in New York for a company that made kitchen equipment. He noticed that Starbucks ordered a large number of special coffee makers and he was curious about the company. Schultz went to Seattle to see what Starbucks did, and he liked what he saw. He wanted to become part of the company. In 1982, the original （原先的）Starbucks owners hired Schultz as the company's head of marketing.
In 1983, Schultz travelled to Italy. The unique atmosphere of the coffee bars there caught his eye. To Schultz it seemed that Italians spent their daily lives in three places: home, workplace, and coffee bar. His experience in Italy gave Schultz a new idea for Starbucks back in Seattle.
Schultz created an atmosphere for Starbucks coffee shops that was comfortable, and customers everywhere seemed to like it. Between 1987 and 1992, Starbucks opened 150 new shops—and that was only the beginning. In fact, by the year 2000, three new Starbucks shops opened somewhere around the world every day!
Today, Starbucks has thousands of stores, including stores in twenty-six countries. One thing that helps make Starbucks succeed in cities outside the United States is the way Starbucks works with local stores and restaurants. By working together with a store already in the city, Starbucks gets an understanding of customers in the city. This understanding helps Starbucks open stores in the right locations for their customers.
23. What is the main idea of this passage?
A. How Starbucks has grown. B. What Starbucks makes.
C. Starbucks' customers. D. How Starbucks makes its coffee.
24. Which is TRUE about Starbucks' first ten years of business?
A. It grew very quickly. B. It was run by Howard Schultz.
C. It made special coffee makers. D. It was a small company.
25. What helps Starbucks succeed in places outside the United States?
A. Opening restaurants in just a few locations each year.
B. Only selling locally produced coffee beans.
C. Working with other major coffee-making companies.
D. Learning about local customers.
26. Which shows the right order according to the passage?
a. One hundred and fifty new shops opened.
b. Howard met three owners of Starbucks.
c. Howard got a new idea for Starbucks.
d. Starbucks is popular all over the world.
e. Howard was a member of a company which made kitchen equipment
A. b-e-a-d-c B. e-b-c-a-d C. e-c-a-b-d D. b-e-c-a-d
【答案】23. A 24. D 25. D 26. B

【26题详解】
篇章结构题。根据文章内容可知，霍华德原是一家生产厨房设备公司的成员（e）。1981年，霍华德遇到了星巴克的三位老板（b）。1982年，霍华德被聘为星巴克的市场总监。1983年，霍华德到意大利旅行，对星巴克有了新主意（c）。1987年到1992年期间，星巴克开了一百五十家新店（a）。再由第四段最后一句可推断出，星巴克在全世界都很受欢迎（d）。故选B。

My First Marathon
A month before my first marathon, one of my knees was hurt and this meant not running for two weeks, leaving me only two weeks to train. Yet, I decided to go ahead.
I remember back to my 7th year in school. In my first P.E. class, the teacher asked us to run laps and then hit a ball. I didn’t do either well. He later told me that I was “not athletic”.
The idea that I was “not athletic” stuck with me for years. When I started running in my 30s, I realized running was a fight against myself, not about competition or whether or not I was athletic. It was all about the fight against my own body and mind.
The night before my marathon, I dreamt that I couldn’t even find the finish line. I woke up sweating (流汗) all over, but ready to face the challenge.
Shortly after crossing the start line, my shoe laces became undone. So I stopped to tie them again. Not the start I wanted!
At mile 3, I passed a sign: “GO FOR IT, RUNNERS!”
By mile 17, I became out of breath and my knee hurt badly. Though feeling very painful, I stayed the course walking a bit and then running again.
By mile 21, I was quite hungry and thirsty!
As I drew closer to mile 23, I could see my wife waving a sign. She is my biggest fan. She never minded the alarm clock sounding at 4 a.m. or questioned my cost on running.
I was one of the final runners to finish. But I finished! And I got a medal. In fact, I got the same medal as the one that the guy who came in the first place had.
Decide to be myself, move forward, free of shame and worldly labels(标签), I can now call myself a “marathon winner”.
27. The writer started running in his 30s because ________.
A. he would like to show he was good at sports
B. he hoped to change his P.E. teacher’s opinion
C. he wanted to challenge his own body and mind
D. he wished to become the winner of marathon
28. It can be inferred from Paragraph 4 that the writer was ________ before marathon.
A. proud and excited B. scared and hopeless
C. tired but hopeful D. nervous but strong-minded
29. How was the writer’s first marathon?
A. He gave up halfway. B. He made it in the end.
C. He got the first prize. D. He walked to the end.
30. What is the right order of the following events according to the passage?
a. My wife cheered for me.
b. I hurt my knee and stopped training.
c. I stopped to tie my shoe laces.
d. I went on running though my knee hurt badly.
A. d-a-b-c B. b-a-c-d C. b-c-d-a D. d-c-b-a
【答案】27. C 28. D 29. B 30. C
【解析】

【27题详解】
细节理解题，根据“When I started running in my 30s, I realized running was a fight against myself, not about competition or whether or not I was athletic. It was all about the fight against my own body and mind.当我30多岁开始跑步时，我意识到跑步是一场与自己的斗争，而不是关于竞争或我是否有运动能力。这一切都是为了与我自己的身体和精神作斗争。”，可知应该是挑战自己身心，故选C。
