Can you still remember the things happening when you were a child? Grown­ups are often amazed by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practiced ever since. A man who has not had a chance to go swimming for years can still swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water. He can get on a bicycle after many years and still ride away. He can play catch and hit a ball as well as his son. A mother who has not thought about the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins “Twinkle, twinkle, little star” or remember the story of Cinderella or Goldilocks and the Three Bears.
One explanation is the law of overlearning, which can be stated as follows: Once we have learned something, additional learning trials (尝试) increase the length of time we will remember it.
In childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming, bicycle riding, and playing baseball long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and remind ourselves of words such as “Twinkle, twinkle, little star” and childhood tales such as Cinderella and Goldilocks. We not only learn but overlearn.
The multiplication tables(乘法口诀表) are an exception to the general rule that we forget rather quickly the things that we learn in school, because they are another of the things we overlearn in childhood.
The law of overlearning explains why cramming(突击学习) for an examination, though it may result in a passing grade, is not a satisfactory way to learn a college course. By cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination, but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned. A little overlearning, on the other hand, is really necessary for one’s future development.
4. What does Paragraph 1 mainly tell us?
A. Children have a better memory than grown­ups.
B. People remember well what they learned in childhood.
C. Poem reading is a good way to learn words.
D. Stories for children are easy to remember.
5. What method does the author use to explain the law of overlearning?
A. Presenting research findings. B. Setting down general rules.
C. Giving examples. D. Making a comparison.
6. According to the author, being able to use multiplication tables is ________.
A. a result of overlearning B. a special case of cramming
C. a skill to deal with math problems D. a basic step towards advanced studies
7. What does the word “they” in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A. Commonly accepted rules. B. School subjects.
C. Things easily forgotten. D. The multiplication tables.

What we choose to do is up to us. “Life is for living”, according to a well-used expression. That may not be completely true, but there is no harm in dreaming about what we’d like to achieve in our life. Many of us write a list of things we’d like to do before we leave this world — often called a bucket list.
Bucket lists have been called “the greatest hits of your life” and have helped some people overcome anxiety which would have stopped them following their dreams. Some of us may choose to write one to fill our life with exciting and new experiences — from skydiving to swimming with sharks — the list is unlimited. This is something the BBC radio programme “All in the Mind” has been looking at. It heard from a blogger called Annette White, who said she made a promise to live her bucket list which “continuously pushes the comfort zone to its limits and beyond it.” Such a list can be exciting and can indeed help you plan your life and give you focus.
Creating a bucket list can certainly give us hope, but Clinical psychologist Linda Blair told the BBC that he was “not really in favour of bucket lists, which take you away from the chance to be spontaneous(顺其自然的).” It’s probably true that a list can encourage people to follow someone else’s idea of the perfect life. But why not at least dream of what we would like to do? Why not reach for the stars, even if we only reach the sky? Whether we want to plan it or just see what happens, we don’t know what tomorrow will bring, so maybe we should live for today.
8. What’s the purpose of “Life is for living” mentioned in Paragraph 1?
A. To provide an evidence. B. To make an explanation.
C. To make a comparison. D. To draw out the topic to be discussed.
9. Why is Annette White mentioned by the writer?
A. To prove what wide popularity bucket lists are.
B. To explain the working principle of bucket lists.
C. To show the helping functions of bucket lists.
D. To tell us the existing problems.
10. What is Linda Blair’s attitude towards bucket lists?
A. Objective. B. Disapproving. C. Positive. D. Indifferent.
11. What does the passage mainly tell us?
A. Whether we need a bucket list. B. How we can make a bucket list.
C. How we can use our bucket list. D. When we ignore our bucket list.

Some people believe that a Robin Hood is at work, others that a wealthy person simply wants to distribute his or her fortune before dying. But the donator who started sending envelopes with cash to deserving causes, accompanied by an article from the local paper, has made a northern German city believe in fairy tales.
The first envelope was sent to a victim support group. It contained €10,000 with a cutting from the Braunschtveiger Zeitung about how the group supported a woman who was robbed of her handbag; similar plain white anonymous(匿名) envelopes, each containing €10,000, then arrived at a kindergarten and a church.
The envelopes keep coming, and so far at least €190,000 has been distributed. Last month, one of them was sent to the newspaper’s own office. It came after a story it published about Tom, a 14-year-old boy who was severely disabled in a swimming accident. The receptionist at the Braunschweiger Zeitung opened an anonymous white envelope to find 20 notes of €500 inside, with a copy of the article. The name of the family was underlined.
“I was driving when I heard the news.” Claudia Neumann, the boy’s mother, told DerSpiegel magazine. “I had to park on the side of the road; I was speechless.”
The money will be used to make the entrance to their house wheelchair-accessible and for a course of treatment that their insurance company refused to pay for.
“For someone to act so selflessly, for this to happen in such a society in which everyone thinks of himself, was astonishing,” Mrs. Neumann said. Her family wonder whether the donator is a Robin Hood character, taking from banks to give to the needy.
Henning Noske, the editor of the Braunschweiger Zeitung, said: “Maybe it is an old person who is about to die. We just do not know.” However, he has told his reporters not to look for the city’s hero, for fear that discovery may stop the donations.
12. The Braunschweiger Zeitung is the name of __________.
A. a church B. a newspaper
C. a bank D. a magazine
13. Which of the following is TRUE about the donation to Tom?
A. The donation amounted to €190,000.
B. The donation was sent directly to his house.
C. His mother felt astonished at the donation.
D. The money will be used for his education.
14. It can be inferred from the passage that __________.
A. the donation will continue to come B. the donator is a rich old man
C. the donation comes from the newspaper D. the donator will soon be found out
15. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. Money Is Raised by the Newspaper
B. Newspaper Distributes Money to the needy
C. Robin Hood Returns to the City
D. Unknown Hero Spreads Love in Envelopes

二、七选五
There have always been a lot of commonly believed but false ideas about being fat and doing exercise. ____16____. While others hold that if they stop exercising, their muscles will turn into fat. Here are some more myths(缪见):
I’ll never lose weight — I come from a fat family
Wrong! While we can’t change the body type we are born with, we can’t blame our genes for making us fat. There’s plenty of evidence that fatness runs in families. ____17____.
____18____.
Wrong! Fatness is not caused by a slow metabolism(新陈代谢). In fact, although fat people consume more energy than slim people, they also fail to realize how much they eat! Keeping a diary can help you work out your daily food intake more accurately(精确).
Exercise is boring
Wrong! ____19____. The key is to develop a balanced and varied program that’s fun as well as progressive. If you enjoy a Sunday walk, take a different route. If you do yoga, try a tai chi class. If you like swimming, set yourself a distance or time challenge.
No pain, no gain
Wrong! Exercise is not meant to hurt. Indeed, pain is your body telling you something’s wrong, and continuing to exercise could lead to serious injury. You may experience mild discomfort as you begin to exercise regularly, but this is your body adapting to the positive changes in your lifestyle and the aches should disappear relatively quickly. ____20____.
A. I am fat because I burn calories slowly
B. And the main reason is that they share the same habits of eating too much and exercising too little

Many years ago there was a young man who was getting ready to graduate from university. For many months he had admired a beautiful sports car in a dealer’s(商人) showroom, and knowing his father could well afford it, he told him that was all he wanted.
As Graduation Day approached, the young man waited for signs that his father had bought the car. Finally, on the morning of his graduation, his father called him into his private study. His father told him how proud he was to have such a fine son, and told him how much he loved him. He handed his son a beautiful wrapped(包裹好的) gift box. Curious, but somewhat disappointed, the young man opened the box and found a lovely, leather-bound Bible(圣经), with the young man’s name embossed(饰刻) in gold.
Angrily, he raised his voice to his father and said, “With all your money you give me a Bible?” He then stormed out of the house, leaving the Bible in his father’s study.
Many years passed and the young man was very successful in business. He had a beautiful home and a wonderful family, but realizing his father was very old, he thought perhaps he should go to see him. He had not seen him since that graduation day.

【答案】4. B 5. C 6. A 7. D
【解析】本文是一篇说明文。成年人常常惊叹他们能很好地记着儿时学过的东西。作者认为这是儿时过度学习的结果，是因为当我们儿时学会一样东西的时候，我们不是就此停止，而是继续练习，才使我们记忆深刻。文章用例证法说明了“过度学习”的概念。 最后作者谈到了“过度学习”的好处和突击学习的弊端。
1. 概括大意题。根据文章的第一段的“Grown­ups are often amazed by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practiced ever since.”（成年人常常惊讶于他们对儿时学过但此后从未练习过的东西记忆犹新。）可知，文章第一段讲的是成年人常常惊叹他们非常好的记着儿时学过的东西，即人们对儿时学的东西记忆犹新。故选B项。
2. 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“In childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming, bicycle riding, and playing baseball long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and remind ourselves of words such as “Twinkle, twinkle, little star” and childhood tales such as Cinderella and Goldilocks.（在童年时期，我们通常在学习游泳、骑自行车和打棒球等技能很久之后继续练习这些技能。我们继续听，并提醒自己“一闪一闪，小星星”这样的词，以及童话故事，如《灰姑娘》和《金发姑娘》。）”和文章第四段“because they are another of the things we overlearn in childhood.（因为乘法表是我们在童年时过度学习的另一种东西。）”可知，作者通过举例来解释“过度学习法则”。故选C项。
3. 细节理解题。根据文章的第四段“The multiplication tables(乘法口诀表) are an exception to the general rule that we forget rather quickly the things that we learn in school, because they are another of the things we overlearn in childhood.（乘法表是一个例外，我们很快就会忘记在学校学到的东西，因为它们是我们童年时过度学习的另一种东西。）”可知，乘法口诀仍然是儿时过度学习的结果。故选A项。

【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. A
【解析】这是一篇议论文。文章主要阐述是否需要一份“人生愿望清单”。其实，我们每个人都有一份自己的人生愿望清单，不论这些愿望是否真的都能一一实现，起码这份清单一直都在鼓励我们努力地去过好每一天。
1. 写作意图题。根据第一段中“What we choose to do is up to us. ‘Life is for living’, according to a well-used expression. That may not be completely true, but there is no harm in dreaming about what we’d like to achieve in our life. Many of us write a list of things we’d like to do before we leave this world — often called a bucket list.（我们选择做什么取决于我们自己。按照一个常用表达的说法，‘活着就是为了生活’。这可能不完全正确，但是梦想我们生活中想要实现的东西，并没有什么坏处。我们中的许多人在离开这个世界之前，会列出一张我们想做的事情的清单——通常被称为人生愿望清单。）”可知，作者首先提出“Life is for living”，接着说尽管那并不一定是正确的，但是梦想我们想要实现的东西并没有什么坏处，很多人会列出人生愿望清单，下文围绕“人生愿望清单”而展开，所以作者在开头提及“Life is for living”这句话的目的是引出该文的中心话题——人们会列出人生愿望清单。故选D项。
2. 推理判断题。根据第二段中“It heard from a blogger called Annette White, who said she made a promise to live her bucket list which “continuously pushes the comfort zone to its limits and beyond it.” Such a list can be exciting and can indeed help you plan your life and give you focus.（它是听自一个博客作者Annette White，她说自己承诺按照人生愿望清单生活，这“不断地把舒适区推到极限，并超越它”。这样的清单是令人兴奋的，确实可以帮助你计划你的生活，让你专注。）”可知，本段提及Annette White是为了表明“人生愿望清单”给人们带来的帮助。故选C项。
3. 观点态度题。根据文章最后一段“but Clinical psychologist Linda Blair told the BBC that he was ‘not really in favour of bucket lists, which take you away from the chance to be spontaneous(顺其自然的).’（但临床心理学家Linda Blair在接受BBC采访时表示，他“不太赞成人生愿望清单，因为它会让你失去随心所欲的机会。”）”可知，Linda Blair不赞同“人生愿望清单”。故选B项。
4. 概括大意题。从第一段“Many of us write a list of things we’d like to do before we leave this world — often called a bucket list.（我们中的许多人在离开这个世界之前，会列出一张我们想做的事情的清单——通常被称为人生愿望清单。）”可知，此处提出文章主题——人生愿望清单，而最后一段中“Whether we want to plan it or just see what happens, we don’t know what tomorrow will bring, so maybe we should live for today.（不管我们是想计划一下，还是看看会发生什么，我们不知道明天会发生什么，所以也许我们应该为今天而活。）”可知，这里作者又提出了“也许我们应该活在当下”的观点，所以，本文主要讨论需不需要“人生愿望清单”的话题。故选A项。

【答案】12. B 13. C 14. A 15. D
【解析】这是一篇记叙文。本文主要讲述一个匿名英雄用信封捐钱来默默传递爱心的故事，告诉我们爱心无处不在，要学会用自己的爱来温暖身边那些需要帮助的人群，那么这个世界将会变成美好的人间。
1. 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“accompanied by an article from the local paper”和第三段“Last month, one of them was sent to the newspaper’s own office.”可知信封被送到了报社，所以the Braunschweiger Zeitung是一份报纸。故选B项。
2. 细节理解题。根据文章第四段““I was driving when I heard the news.” Claudia Neumann, the boy’s mother, told DerSpiegel magazine. “I had to park on the side of the road; I was speechless.””可知这位受害男孩的母亲听到她的孩子被匿名捐赠的消息后，她很震惊，说不出话来。故选C项。
3. 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“he has told his reporters not to look for the city’s hero, for fear that discovery may stop the donations.”可知报纸的编辑告诉记者不要找这个城市的英雄，因为担心发现后他就可能不再进行捐赠的活动，所以这个匿名捐赠活动还会继续下去。故选A项。
4. 标题归纳题。根据文章第一段“But the donator who started sending envelopes with cash to deserving causes, accompanied by an article from the local paper, has made a northern German city believe in fairy tales.”和第六段“For someone to act so selflessly, for this to happen in such a society in which everyone thinks of himself, was astonishing,”可知，本文主要讲述用信封匿名捐赠的事情在社会引起很大反响，在这样一个人人都以自我为中心的社会里，居然有人如此无私地行动，真是令人吃惊。而D 项“匿名英雄用信封传递爱”最能概括文章大意。故选D项。

【答案】16. C 17. B 18. A 19. F 20. E
【解析】这是一篇说明文，旨在澄清人们关于肥胖和运动的几个认识误区。作者告诉我们，肥胖和遗传无关，肥胖不是因为新陈代谢缓慢；运动可以是有趣的；运动不以疼痛为代价。
1. 从后面一句“While others hold that if they stop exercising, their muscles will turn into fat.（而另一些人则认为，如果他们停止锻炼，他们的肌肉会变成脂肪。）”可知，此处others表示的some people的看法，因此推断C项Some people believe that they can’t help putting on weight as they get older.（有些人认为，随着年龄的增长，他们禁不住会发胖。）符合语境，故选C项。
2. 由上文“Wrong! While we can’t change the body type we are born with, we can’t blame our genes for making us fat. There’s plenty of evidence that fatness runs in families.（错误的！虽然我们不能改变天生的体型，但我们不能责怪基因让我们变胖。有大量证据表明，肥胖在家庭中普遍存在。）”可知，上文列举那些认为家族基因遗传是自己肥胖原因的人，B选项And the main reason is that they share the same habits of eating too much and exercising too little.（主要原因是他们有着相同的习惯，吃得太多，锻炼得太少。）能够起到总结说明的作用，指出其实肥胖的主要原因是吃得很多，运动很少的家庭饮食习惯。故选B项。
3. 根据此空位置可知是本段的小标题。根据本段内容第二句“Fatness is not caused by a slow metabolism（肥胖不是由缓慢的新陈代谢造成的）”可知，这一段主要讲新陈代谢的速度对肥胖的影响，同时本段内容与A选项中burn calories slowly（燃烧卡路里缓慢）相对应，故选A项。
4. 根据小标题Exercise is boring（运动很无聊）与F选项Anything will become boring if you do it repetitively（如果一件事你重复地做，任何事都会无聊）相呼应。故选F项。
5. 根据上文“the aches should disappear relatively quickly（疼痛应该相对很快就会消失）”可推知，本空应该是假设另一种情况：如果疼痛没有消失，你就需要休息和寻求医学帮助。E选项If they don’t, rest and seek medical advice.（如果没有，请休息并就医。）中的they指代上文的the aches，指疼痛如果不消失的情况，符合语境。故选E项。

【解析】这是一篇记叙文。记叙了一名重病患者采用“微笑疗法”唤醒积极情绪，最后恢复健康的故事。
1. 考查名词。句意：他的医生告诉他，他将失去活动能力，最终死于这种疾病。定冠词后用名词作lose的宾语，这里需要able的名词形式ability表“能力”，故填ability。
2. 考查动词的时态语态。句意：他被告知，他只有五百分之一的存活机会。此处主语he和tell之间是被动关系，且根据句意可知应用一般过去时。故填was told。
3. 考查冠词。句意：Tom决心要战胜这种疾病然后活下来。此处特指Tom所患的疾病，故用定冠词the表特指。故填the。
4. 考查定语从句关系代词。句意：他总是从医学书籍和一些医生那里得到帮助，他们给了他治疗疾病的想法。此处定语从句修饰先行词为medicine books and some doctors，先行词即有人也有物，关系代词只能用that。故填that。
5. 考查非谓语动词。句意：他的想法让Teddy思考了几种积极情绪可能带来的好处。分析句子可知，这里考查固定搭配make sb do sth，表“使/让/叫某人做某事” ，后跟省略to的动词不定式。故填think。
6. 考查非谓语动词。句意：他决定专注于积极的情绪，以此来治疗他的一些疾病症状。分析句子可知，这里考查固定搭配decide to do sth，表“决定做某事”。故填to concentrate。
7. 考查名词复数。句意：他决定专注于积极的情绪，以此来治疗他的一些疾病症状。分析句子可知，symptom为可数名词，且有some of修饰，用复数。故填symptoms。
8. 考查介词。句意：每天他都在看喜剧电影，读幽默书，做其他能激发积极情绪的活动。分析句子可知，这里考查固定搭配keep on doing，表“坚持做某事”。故填on.
9. 考查非谓语动词。句意：每天他都在看喜剧电影，读幽默书，做其他能激发积极情绪的活动。此处与上文的watching和reading构成并列动名词作宾语，故填doing。
10. 考查副词。句意：在开始他的“微笑疗法”计划的八天内，他的疼痛开始减轻，他能够睡得更容易。此处修饰动词sleep，译为“更容易入睡”，故用副词easily。

Before he could make the arrangements, he received a call telling him his father had passed away. He needed to come home immediately and take care of things. When he arrived at his father’s house, sudden sadness and regret filled his heart. He was told that his father willed all of his possessions to him. He began to search through his father’s important papers and saw the still new Bible, just as he had left it years ago. Thinking of what he had done to his father, he couldn’t help crying sadly.
With tears, he opened the Bible. He began to turn the pages. As he was reading, a car key dropped from the back of the Bible. It had a tag(标签) with the dealer’s name. How familiar the name was! It was the same dealer who had the sports car he had desired. On the tag was the date of his graduation, and the words... “PAID IN FULL”
