The power of the wind
Light winds help us fly kites in spring and cool us in summer.Strong winds take away people's lives.Winds can be friendly or dangerous.They can also work for us.
Wind power is not new.Five thousand years ago，the Chinese first used windmills（风车）.In 700 A.D.，the Syrians and Persians used them too.In the seventeenth century，the people of the Netherlands built windmills to get seawater.Now we can use the wind to make electricity.
In many countries，wind turbines（风力发电机）are everywhere.A group of turbines is called a wind farm.
Wind energy has several advantages.One advantage is that there will always be wind.Wind power is also clean.It doesn't make air pollution.Farmers like wind power because electric companies pay them to use their land.And they can still grow crops and keep animals on their farms.
Wind power also has some disadvantages.One is that turbines are expensive，although the cost has gone down these years.A second disadvantage is noise pollution.This was a greater problem in the past.Today，if you stand under a turbine，you hear only a soft sound.You won't hear turbines at all 100 meters away.For some people，a third disadvantage is visual（视觉的） pollution，but other people like to see turbines turning together.
Today，wind power is growing fast.A lot of countries get their energy from wind.Denmark gets 20% of its energy from wind.China is going to get 26% of its energy from wind in 2030.Perhaps one day，all countries will use this safe，clean energy to make electricity.
（1）China is going to get 26% of its energy from wind .
A.in 2020
B.in 2030
C.in 2040
D.in 2050
（2）According to the passage，how many advantages does wind energy have？
A.2.
B.3.
C.4.
D.5.
（3）Which of the following is true？
A.The cost of wind turbines is getting lower.
B.You won't hear the sound of turbines at all.
C.Wind energy causes visual pollution badly.
D.Every country makes good use of wind energy.
16．（8分）When watching sports events，we often notice athletes wearing earphones en while preparing in the locker room or entering the stadium.They keep their eyes shut，and gently nod along the beats.It seems the music is giving them power and cheering them up for the competition.We sometimes do the same.You might have a list of favorite songs for your morning exercises.But is there any science behind such practices？
According to a recent research，it turns out there is.Music actually does make us feel powerful，but not all songs have the same effect.
The research was led by Dennis Hsu of the Kellogg School of Management at Northwester University in the US.His team had people listen to 31 songs of different types.The listeners felt powerful after listening to some songs，such as Queen's We Will Rock You and 2 Unlimited Get Ready for This.
Researchers also found that high﹣power music made people want to take control in social events and come fist in competition.That matters a lot in sports. "It's commonly said that sports are 90 percent mental and only 10 percent physical，" The Huffington Post reported.
Great athletes know this idea well.NBA player Kobe Bryant，for example，often put on big headphones and even fell into deep thought to boost his game and reduced his anxiety.
As for the reason for music's magical power，Hsu's team came up with one possible explanation：when people hear music that expresses a sense of power，they mimic（模拟） these feelings in their mind.
When choosing music，we also need to look at the type of music，according to researchers.
In previous research by the Music in Exercise and Sports Group at Brunei University in London，they found that pop was perfect for slower，more repetitive﹣type tasks.If you're warming up or cooling down after exercises，pop songs are the correct choice.
Dance music was found to be best suitable to strength and weight training because it's "fast and rhythmical（有节奏感的）."
During high﹣intensity（高强度的）workouts，though，you'd better not listen to rock.Its different changes in tempo（节拍）can affect your rhythm.
（1）What is the main purpose of the first paragraph？
A.To introduce favorite songs for morning exercises.
B.To lead in the topic that music matters in sports.
C.To give an example of athletes' daily life.
D.To explain how to choose music.
（2）According to the passage，Dennis Hsu probably agrees that .
A.Listening to music always makes athletes relaxed
B.powerful music can make people produce similar feelings in their mind
C.the result of a game is mainly affected by the physical condition of the players
D.most athletes still don't know the effects of high﹣power music on their performance
（3）The underlined word "boost" in Paragraph 5 probably means .
A.control
B.lose
C.continue
D.improve
（4）What can we learn from the passage？
A.Pop music is a reasonable choice for high﹣intensity workouts.
B.Rock music helps people keep their rhythms when exercising.
C.People are advised to listen to pop music before and after exercise.
D.People should dance to music while doing strength and weight training.
17．（6分）Most of us fear failure.However，without failure，progress would be impossible.In fact，the word success comes from the Latin succedere，meaning "to come after".And what does success usually come after？Failure.It seems that one cannot exist without the other.
Every failure﹣﹣even the worst ones﹣﹣helps us learn to do things differently in the future. "Learning from the past mistakes and making changes helped me to reach the top of Everest successfully，" says mountaineer Pete Athans，who has now reached the world's highest peak（山峰）seven times.
Failure also reminds us that things can go wrong﹣﹣sometimes with terrible results.Austrian Gerlinde Kaltenbrunner is the first woman to reach the top of all 14 of the world's 8，000﹣meter peaks without extra oxygen（氧气）.In 2007，while climbing in Nepal，she was in an avalanche（雪崩）.She survived，but two nearby Spanish climbers died.The experience taught Kaltenbrunner that no matter how prepared a person is，bad things can still happen.But Kaltenbrunner decided she had to learn from her experience and move on.
Accepting failure is not easy for many，though.We are often reluctant to tell people that we are failures because our good name depends on success.However，things are slowly changing.In the past ten years，some scientific magazines﹣mostly in medicine﹣have published reports of failed experiments.The belief is that the science community can also learn from "negative" results and that this can finally lead to positive outcomes.
The business world already understands the value of negative results.Eli Lilly and Company has failure parties to study data about medicine that doesn't work.
In fact，one of the business world's most famous failures became one of its biggest successes.In the early 1990s，Apple Corporation created the Apple Newton.It was one of Apple's biggest failures.However，Apple's CEO，Steve Jobs，believed the product had potential （潜力）and he began to improve it.In time，this led to the creation of the iPhone and the iPad，two of the company's most successful products.
The story of the Apple Newton can teach us another important lesson about failure.There is a lot we can learn by studying mistakes.Perhaps the most important lesson is that failure and success are two sides of the same coin.One truly cannot exist without the other.
（1）The writer writes Paragraph 2 and 3 mainly to .
A.show how bad things can become important lessons
B.tell us that it's possible for anyone to be successful
C.prove how bad things can happen in any situation
D.teach us what not to do when climbing mountains
（2）The underlined word "reluctant" in Paragraph 4 probably means .
A.unable
B.unsure
C.unwilling
D.uninterested
（3）What is the passage mainly about？
A.An attitude towards failure.
B.The experience of success.
C.A difficult way to success.
D.The rewards of failure.

Chinese Fancy Knot
Chinese fancy knots，also called Chinese knots，refer to the traditional decorative knots in Chinese culture.They began as a form of traditional art in the Tang and Song Dynasties in China，and became popular in the Ming Dynasty.Long ago，they found their way to Japan and other Southeast Asian countries，and were well received.
Chinese Fancy Knots there.Now they are taken as one of the most classic symbols of Chinese culture.As for the name itself，it is surely meaningful.The Chinese word for"knot"，jie，means "connection"，It is related to lots of cultural ideas﹣marriage，brotherhood，reunion，etc.Meanwhile，the pronunciation of the Chinese word jie is very close to that of ji， "good luck".As a result，Chinese knots perfectly serve as a way to express people's strong wishes for good things like joy，love and good luck.
Besides，the knots，widely existing in the everyday life of the Chinese culture，come in different sizes.Small ones are connected to jewelry（珠宝） ，clothes，gift﹣packages and furniture in order to attract people's attention，while large ones are used to decorate a living room or study.Whether large or small，there are over a dozen basic knot patterns（图案）named according to their shapes，usages or origins.For example，Double Coin Knots are called shuangqian Jie because they are in the shape of two ancient Chinese coins，meaning "good things come in pairs".However，almost all the main styles of Chinese fancy knots are made up of two exactly similar parts，and the patterns on the front and the back sides are also similar in every detail.
In addition，Chinese knots are famous for their bright colours.Each of the Chinese knots is made of a single string of cotton，silk，gold or silver.But the colours of the strings are rich and have different traditional cultural meanings.Among the most commonly used base colours，red means good luck and happiness，green means health，and yellow，which was once known as a emperor's colour，may means wealth and honour.
In brief，the famous Chinese fancy knots fully reflect（反映）the depth of Chinese culture.These brightly coloured knots of different patterns，with their endless chains of knots，mean that life on earth will continue forever.
（1）When did Chinese fancy knots become popular？
（2）What does the Chinese character for "knot" mean？
（3）Why do people express strong wishes with Chinese knots？
（4）What are the main points about Chinese knots in Paragraph 3？
（5）What do Chinese fancy knots fully reflect？

15．（6分）
The power of the wind
Light winds help us fly kites in spring and cool us in summer.Strong winds take away people's lives.Winds can be friendly or dangerous.They can also work for us.
Wind power is not new.Five thousand years ago，the Chinese first used windmills（风车）.In 700 A.D.，the Syrians and Persians used them too.In the seventeenth century，the people of the Netherlands built windmills to get seawater.Now we can use the wind to make electricity.
In many countries，wind turbines（风力发电机）are everywhere.A group of turbines is called a wind farm.
Wind energy has several advantages.One advantage is that there will always be wind.Wind power is also clean.It doesn't make air pollution.Farmers like wind power because electric companies pay them to use their land.And they can still grow crops and keep animals on their farms.
Wind power also has some disadvantages.One is that turbines are expensive，although the cost has gone down these years.A second disadvantage is noise pollution.This was a greater problem in the past.Today，if you stand under a turbine，you hear only a soft sound.You won't hear turbines at all 100 meters away.For some people，a third disadvantage is visual（视觉的） pollution，but other people like to see turbines turning together.
Today，wind power is growing fast.A lot of countries get their energy from wind.Denmark gets 20% of its energy from wind.China is going to get 26% of its energy from wind in 2030.Perhaps one day，all countries will use this safe，clean energy to make electricity.
（1）China is going to get 26% of its energy from wind B .
A.in 2020
B.in 2030
C.in 2040
D.in 2050
（2）According to the passage，how many advantages does wind energy have？ B
A.2.
B.3.
C.4.
D.5.
（3）Which of the following is true？ A
A.The cost of wind turbines is getting lower.
B.You won't hear the sound of turbines at all.
C.Wind energy causes visual pollution badly.
D.Every country makes good use of wind energy.
【分析】本文主要介绍了"风的力量"及其优缺点和应用。
【解答】（1）细节理解题。根据最后一段"China is going to get 26% of its energy from wind in 2030"到2030年，中国26%的能源将来自风能。可知，到2030年，中国26%的能源将来自风能。故选B。
（2）细节归纳题。根据 Wind energy has several advantages.One advantage is that there will always be wind.Wind power is also clean.It doesn't make air pollution.Farmers like wind power because electric companies pay them to use their land.And they can still grow crops and keep animals on their farms.（风能有几个优点。一个优点是总会有风。风力发电也是清洁的。它不会造成空气污染。农民喜欢风力发电，因为电力公司支付他们使用土地的费用。他们仍然可以在农场里种植农作物和饲养动物。）可知有三个优点。故选B。
（3）推理判断题。根据Wind power also has some disadvantages.One is that turbines are expensive，although the cost has gone down these years.（风力发电也有一些缺点。一个是涡轮机价格昂贵，尽管近年来成本有所下降。）可知风力发电机价格在下降。故选B。
【点评】做题时首先对原文材料迅速浏览，掌握全文的主旨大意。其次，细读题材，各个击破。掌握全文的大意之后，细细阅读材料后的问题，弄清每题要求后，带着问题，再回到原文中去寻找、捕获有关信息。
16．（8分）When watching sports events，we often notice athletes wearing earphones en while preparing in the locker room or entering the stadium.They keep their eyes shut，and gently nod along the beats.It seems the music is giving them power and cheering them up for the competition.We sometimes do the same.You might have a list of favorite songs for your morning exercises.But is there any science behind such practices？
According to a recent research，it turns out there is.Music actually does make us feel powerful，but not all songs have the same effect.
The research was led by Dennis Hsu of the Kellogg School of Management at Northwester University in the US.His team had people listen to 31 songs of different types.The listeners felt powerful after listening to some songs，such as Queen's We Will Rock You and 2 Unlimited Get Ready for This.
Researchers also found that high﹣power music made people want to take control in social events and come fist in competition.That matters a lot in sports. "It's commonly said that sports are 90 percent mental and only 10 percent physical，" The Huffington Post reported.
Great athletes know this idea well.NBA player Kobe Bryant，for example，often put on big headphones and even fell into deep thought to boost his game and reduced his anxiety.
As for the reason for music's magical power，Hsu's team came up with one possible explanation：when people hear music that expresses a sense of power，they mimic（模拟） these feelings in their mind.
When choosing music，we also need to look at the type of music，according to researchers.
In previous research by the Music in Exercise and Sports Group at Brunei University in London，they found that pop was perfect for slower，more repetitive﹣type tasks.If you're warming up or cooling down after exercises，pop songs are the correct choice.
Dance music was found to be best suitable to strength and weight training because it's "fast and rhythmical（有节奏感的）."
During high﹣intensity（高强度的）workouts，though，you'd better not listen to rock.Its different changes in tempo（节拍）can affect your rhythm.
（1）What is the main purpose of the first paragraph？ B
A.To introduce favorite songs for morning exercises.
B.To lead in the topic that music matters in sports.
C.To give an example of athletes' daily life.
D.To explain how to choose music.
（2）According to the passage，Dennis Hsu probably agrees that B .
A.Listening to music always makes athletes relaxed
B.powerful music can make people produce similar feelings in their mind
C.the result of a game is mainly affected by the physical condition of the players
D.most athletes still don't know the effects of high﹣power music on their performance
（3）The underlined word "boost" in Paragraph 5 probably means D .
A.control
B.lose
C.continue
D.improve
（4）What can we learn from the passage？ C
A.Pop music is a reasonable choice for high﹣intensity workouts.
B.Rock music helps people keep their rhythms when exercising.
C.People are advised to listen to pop music before and after exercise.
D.People should dance to music while doing strength and weight training.
【分析】本文主要讲了音乐在体育运动中重要性。
【解答】（1）B.段落目的题。通读第一段，根据It seems the music is giving them power and cheering them up for the competition.We sometimes do the same.You might have a list of favorite songs for your morning exercises.But is there any science behind such practices？音乐似乎给了他们力量，让他们为比赛振奋起来。我们有时也这样做。你可能有一张晨练时最喜欢的歌曲列表。但这种做法背后有什么科学依据吗？可知，此段目的是为了引出音乐在体育运动中很重要的话题。故选B。
（2）B.推理判断题。根据As for the reason for music's magical power，Hsu's team came up with one possible explanation：when people hear music that expresses a sense of power，they mimic（模拟） these feelings in their mind.至于音乐魔力的原因，Hsu的团队提出了一种可能的解释：当人们听到表达一种力量感的音乐时，他们会在大脑中模仿这种感觉。可知，Dennis Hsu可能同意强大的音乐可以让人们在他们的头脑中产生类似的感觉。故选B。
（3）D.词义猜测题。根据NBA player Kobe Bryant，for example，often put on big headphones and even fell into deep thought to boost his game and reduced his anxiety.例如，前NBA球员科比•布莱恩特经常戴上大耳机，甚至陷入沉思来﹣﹣他的比赛水平，缓解他的焦虑。可以推测，这里的boost应该是"提高"的意思。故选D。
（4）C.细节理解题。根据If you're warming up or cooling down after exercises，pop songs are the correct choice.如果你在准备热身或运动后想冷静下来，流行歌曲是正确的选择。可知，人们被建议在运动前后听流行音乐。故选C。

17．（6分）Most of us fear failure.However，without failure，progress would be impossible.In fact，the word success comes from the Latin succedere，meaning "to come after".And what does success usually come after？Failure.It seems that one cannot exist without the other.
Every failure﹣﹣even the worst ones﹣﹣helps us learn to do things differently in the future. "Learning from the past mistakes and making changes helped me to reach the top of Everest successfully，" says mountaineer Pete Athans，who has now reached the world's highest peak（山峰）seven times.
Failure also reminds us that things can go wrong﹣﹣sometimes with terrible results.Austrian Gerlinde Kaltenbrunner is the first woman to reach the top of all 14 of the world's 8，000﹣meter peaks without extra oxygen（氧气）.In 2007，while climbing in Nepal，she was in an avalanche（雪崩）.She survived，but two nearby Spanish climbers died.The experience taught Kaltenbrunner that no matter how prepared a person is，bad things can still happen.But Kaltenbrunner decided she had to learn from her experience and move on.
Accepting failure is not easy for many，though.We are often reluctant to tell people that we are failures because our good name depends on success.However，things are slowly changing.In the past ten years，some scientific magazines﹣mostly in medicine﹣have published reports of failed experiments.The belief is that the science community can also learn from "negative" results and that this can finally lead to positive outcomes.
The business world already understands the value of negative results.Eli Lilly and Company has failure parties to study data about medicine that doesn't work.
In fact，one of the business world's most famous failures became one of its biggest successes.In the early 1990s，Apple Corporation created the Apple Newton.It was one of Apple's biggest failures.However，Apple's CEO，Steve Jobs，believed the product had potential （潜力）and he began to improve it.In time，this led to the creation of the iPhone and the iPad，two of the company's most successful products.
The story of the Apple Newton can teach us another important lesson about failure.There is a lot we can learn by studying mistakes.Perhaps the most important lesson is that failure and success are two sides of the same coin.One truly cannot exist without the other.
（1）The writer writes Paragraph 2 and 3 mainly to A .
A.show how bad things can become important lessons
B.tell us that it's possible for anyone to be successful
C.prove how bad things can happen in any situation
D.teach us what not to do when climbing mountains
（2）The underlined word "reluctant" in Paragraph 4 probably means C .
A.unable
B.unsure
C.unwilling
D.uninterested
（3）What is the passage mainly about？ D
A.An attitude towards failure.
B.The experience of success.
C.A difficult way to success.
D.The rewards of failure.
【分析】许多人害怕失败，其实成功就来自失败。本文列举了AustrianGerlindeKaltenbrunner 等几个人作为例证。
【解答】（1）A．推理判断题。根据 Failurealsoremindsusthatthingscangowrong ﹣ sometimeswithterribleresults.和TheexperiencetaughtKaltenbrunnerthatnomatterhowpreparedapersonis，badthingscanstillhappen.ButKaltenbrunnerdecidedshehadtolearnfromherexperienceandmoveon.无论怎样，都会有糟糕的事情发生，但是应该从中汲取教训，继续向前。故选：A。
（2）C．词义猜测题。根据Acceptingfailureisnoteasyformany承认失败是一件不容易的事，可知人们不愿意承认失败。故选：C。
（3）D．主旨大意题。根据Mostofusfearfailure.However，withoutfailure，progresswouldbeimpossible.本文主要讲述了许多人害怕失败，其实成功就来自失败。故选：D。

Chinese Fancy Knot
Chinese fancy knots，also called Chinese knots，refer to the traditional decorative knots in Chinese culture.They began as a form of traditional art in the Tang and Song Dynasties in China，and became popular in the Ming Dynasty.Long ago，they found their way to Japan and other Southeast Asian countries，and were well received.
Chinese Fancy Knots there.Now they are taken as one of the most classic symbols of Chinese culture.As for the name itself，it is surely meaningful.The Chinese word for"knot"，jie，means "connection"，It is related to lots of cultural ideas﹣marriage，brotherhood，reunion，etc.Meanwhile，the pronunciation of the Chinese word jie is very close to that of ji， "good luck".As a result，Chinese knots perfectly serve as a way to express people's strong wishes for good things like joy，love and good luck.
Besides，the knots，widely existing in the everyday life of the Chinese culture，come in different sizes.Small ones are connected to jewelry（珠宝） ，clothes，gift﹣packages and furniture in order to attract people's attention，while large ones are used to decorate a living room or study.Whether large or small，there are over a dozen basic knot patterns（图案）named according to their shapes，usages or origins.For example，Double Coin Knots are called shuangqian Jie because they are in the shape of two ancient Chinese coins，meaning "good things come in pairs".However，almost all the main styles of Chinese fancy knots are made up of two exactly similar parts，and the patterns on the front and the back sides are also similar in every detail.
In addition，Chinese knots are famous for their bright colours.Each of the Chinese knots is made of a single string of cotton，silk，gold or silver.But the colours of the strings are rich and have different traditional cultural meanings.Among the most commonly used base colours，red means good luck and happiness，green means health，and yellow，which was once known as a emperor's colour，may means wealth and honour.
In brief，the famous Chinese fancy knots fully reflect（反映）the depth of Chinese culture.These brightly coloured knots of different patterns，with their endless chains of knots，mean that life on earth will continue forever.
（1）When did Chinese fancy knots become popular？
In the Ming Dynasty.
（2）What does the Chinese character for "knot" mean？
It means"connection".
（3）Why do people express strong wishes with Chinese knots？
Because the pronunciation of the Chinese word jie is very close to that of ji， "good luck".
（4）What are the main points about Chinese knots in Paragraph 3？
Their sizes，usages and patterns.
（5）What do Chinese fancy knots fully reflect？
The depth of Chinese culture.
【分析】本文主要讲述了中国结历史、大小、色彩的不同图案等，中国结充分反映了中国文化的深度，它意味着地球上的生命将永远延续下去的意思。
【解答】细节理解题。
（1）In the Ming Dynasty.根据第一段"They began as a form of traditional art in the Tang and Song Dynasties in China，and became popular in the Ming Dynasty.它们在唐宋时期开始作为一种传统艺术形式在中国出现，并在明代流行起来。"可知，中国结是开始于中国唐宋时期的一种传统艺术形式，到明朝开始流行。故填：In the Ming Dynasty.
（2）It means"connection".根据第二段"The Chinese word for"knot"，jie，means "connection"，It is related to lots of cultural ideas﹣marriage，brotherhood，reunion，etc."结"一词的中文意思是"联系"，它与许多文化观念有关，如婚姻、兄弟情谊、团圆等等。" 可知，"结"的中文意思是"联系"，故填：It means"connection".
（3）Because the pronunciation of the Chinese word jie is very close to that of ji， "good luck".根据第二段"Meanwhile，the pronunciation of the Chinese word jie is very close to that of ji， "good luck".同时，汉语中的"结"一词的发音与"吉祥"一词的发音非常接近。" 可知，同时，汉语"结"字的发音与"吉祥"极为接近，故填：Because the pronunciation of the Chinese word jie is very close to that of ji， "good luck".
（4）Their sizes，usages and patterns.根据文章第三段"Besides，the knots，widely existing in the everyday life of the Chinese culture，come in different sizes...Whether large or small，there are over a dozen basic knot patterns named according to their shapes，usages or origins.此外，结广泛存在于中国文化的日常生活中，大小不一……无论大小，根据形状、用途或起源，有十几种基本的结图案命名。"可知，主要讲述的是中国结的大小，用法和模式，故填：Their sizes，usages and patterns.
（5）The depth of Chinese culture.根据最后一段" In brief，the famous Chinese fancy knots fully reflect the depth of Chinese culture.总之，中国著名的花式结充分体现了中国文化的深度。"可知，中国著名的中国结充分反映了中国文化的深度，故填：The depth of Chinese culture.

The power of the wind
Light winds help us fly kites in spring and cool us in summer.Strong winds take away people's lives.Winds can be friendly or dangerous.They can also work for us.
Wind power is not new.Five thousand years ago，the Chinese first used windmills（风车）.In 700 A.D.，the Syrians and Persians used them too.In the seventeenth century，the people of the Netherlands built windmills to get seawater.Now we can use the wind to make electricity.
In many countries，wind turbines（风力发电机）are everywhere.A group of turbines is called a wind farm.
Wind energy has several advantages.One advantage is that there will always be wind.Wind power is also clean.It doesn't make air pollution.Farmers like wind power because electric companies pay them to use their land.And they can still grow crops and keep animals on their farms.
Wind power also has some disadvantages.One is that turbines are expensive，although the cost has gone down these years.A second disadvantage is noise pollution.This was a greater problem in the past.Today，if you stand under a turbine，you hear only a soft sound.You won't hear turbines at all 100 meters away.For some people，a third disadvantage is visual（视觉的） pollution，but other people like to see turbines turning together.
Today，wind power is growing fast.A lot of countries get their energy from wind.Denmark gets 20% of its energy from wind.China is going to get 26% of its energy from wind in 2030.Perhaps one day，all countries will use this safe，clean energy to make electricity.
（1）China is going to get 26% of its energy from wind .
A.in 2020
B.in 2030
C.in 2040
D.in 2050
（2）According to the passage，how many advantages does wind energy have？
A.2.
B.3.
C.4.
D.5.
（3）Which of the following is true？
A.The cost of wind turbines is getting lower.
B.You won't hear the sound of turbines at all.
C.Wind energy causes visual pollution badly.
D.Every country makes good use of wind energy.
16．（8分）When watching sports events，we often notice athletes wearing earphones en while preparing in the locker room or entering the stadium.They keep their eyes shut，and gently nod along the beats.It seems the music is giving them power and cheering them up for the competition.We sometimes do the same.You might have a list of favorite songs for your morning exercises.But is there any science behind such practices？
According to a recent research，it turns out there is.Music actually does make us feel powerful，but not all songs have the same effect.
The research was led by Dennis Hsu of the Kellogg School of Management at Northwester University in the US.His team had people listen to 31 songs of different types.The listeners felt powerful after listening to some songs，such as Queen's We Will Rock You and 2 Unlimited Get Ready for This.
Researchers also found that high﹣power music made people want to take control in social events and come fist in competition.That matters a lot in sports. "It's commonly said that sports are 90 percent mental and only 10 percent physical，" The Huffington Post reported.
Great athletes know this idea well.NBA player Kobe Bryant，for example，often put on big headphones and even fell into deep thought to boost his game and reduced his anxiety.
As for the reason for music's magical power，Hsu's team came up with one possible explanation：when people hear music that expresses a sense of power，they mimic（模拟） these feelings in their mind.
When choosing music，we also need to look at the type of music，according to researchers.
In previous research by the Music in Exercise and Sports Group at Brunei University in London，they found that pop was perfect for slower，more repetitive﹣type tasks.If you're warming up or cooling down after exercises，pop songs are the correct choice.
Dance music was found to be best suitable to strength and weight training because it's "fast and rhythmical（有节奏感的）."
During high﹣intensity（高强度的）workouts，though，you'd better not listen to rock.Its different changes in tempo（节拍）can affect your rhythm.
（1）What is the main purpose of the first paragraph？
A.To introduce favorite songs for morning exercises.
B.To lead in the topic that music matters in sports.
C.To give an example of athletes' daily life.
D.To explain how to choose music.
（2）According to the passage，Dennis Hsu probably agrees that .
A.Listening to music always makes athletes relaxed
B.powerful music can make people produce similar feelings in their mind
C.the result of a game is mainly affected by the physical condition of the players
D.most athletes still don't know the effects of high﹣power music on their performance
（3）The underlined word "boost" in Paragraph 5 probably means .
A.control
B.lose
C.continue
D.improve
（4）What can we learn from the passage？
A.Pop music is a reasonable choice for high﹣intensity workouts.
B.Rock music helps people keep their rhythms when exercising.
C.People are advised to listen to pop music before and after exercise.
D.People should dance to music while doing strength and weight training.
17．（6分）Most of us fear failure.However，without failure，progress would be impossible.In fact，the word success comes from the Latin succedere，meaning "to come after".And what does success usually come after？Failure.It seems that one cannot exist without the other.
Every failure﹣﹣even the worst ones﹣﹣helps us learn to do things differently in the future. "Learning from the past mistakes and making changes helped me to reach the top of Everest successfully，" says mountaineer Pete Athans，who has now reached the world's highest peak（山峰）seven times.
Failure also reminds us that things can go wrong﹣﹣sometimes with terrible results.Austrian Gerlinde Kaltenbrunner is the first woman to reach the top of all 14 of the world's 8，000﹣meter peaks without extra oxygen（氧气）.In 2007，while climbing in Nepal，she was in an avalanche（雪崩）.She survived，but two nearby Spanish climbers died.The experience taught Kaltenbrunner that no matter how prepared a person is，bad things can still happen.But Kaltenbrunner decided she had to learn from her experience and move on.
Accepting failure is not easy for many，though.We are often reluctant to tell people that we are failures because our good name depends on success.However，things are slowly changing.In the past ten years，some scientific magazines﹣mostly in medicine﹣have published reports of failed experiments.The belief is that the science community can also learn from "negative" results and that this can finally lead to positive outcomes.
The business world already understands the value of negative results.Eli Lilly and Company has failure parties to study data about medicine that doesn't work.
In fact，one of the business world's most famous failures became one of its biggest successes.In the early 1990s，Apple Corporation created the Apple Newton.It was one of Apple's biggest failures.However，Apple's CEO，Steve Jobs，believed the product had potential （潜力）and he began to improve it.In time，this led to the creation of the iPhone and the iPad，two of the company's most successful products.
The story of the Apple Newton can teach us another important lesson about failure.There is a lot we can learn by studying mistakes.Perhaps the most important lesson is that failure and success are two sides of the same coin.One truly cannot exist without the other.
（1）The writer writes Paragraph 2 and 3 mainly to .
A.show how bad things can become important lessons
B.tell us that it's possible for anyone to be successful
C.prove how bad things can happen in any situation
D.teach us what not to do when climbing mountains
（2）The underlined word "reluctant" in Paragraph 4 probably means .
A.unable
B.unsure
C.unwilling
D.uninterested
（3）What is the passage mainly about？
A.An attitude towards failure.
B.The experience of success.
C.A difficult way to success.
D.The rewards of failure.

Chinese Fancy Knot
Chinese fancy knots，also called Chinese knots，refer to the traditional decorative knots in Chinese culture.They began as a form of traditional art in the Tang and Song Dynasties in China，and became popular in the Ming Dynasty.Long ago，they found their way to Japan and other Southeast Asian countries，and were well received.
Chinese Fancy Knots there.Now they are taken as one of the most classic symbols of Chinese culture.As for the name itself，it is surely meaningful.The Chinese word for"knot"，jie，means "connection"，It is related to lots of cultural ideas﹣marriage，brotherhood，reunion，etc.Meanwhile，the pronunciation of the Chinese word jie is very close to that of ji， "good luck".As a result，Chinese knots perfectly serve as a way to express people's strong wishes for good things like joy，love and good luck.
Besides，the knots，widely existing in the everyday life of the Chinese culture，come in different sizes.Small ones are connected to jewelry（珠宝） ，clothes，gift﹣packages and furniture in order to attract people's attention，while large ones are used to decorate a living room or study.Whether large or small，there are over a dozen basic knot patterns（图案）named according to their shapes，usages or origins.For example，Double Coin Knots are called shuangqian Jie because they are in the shape of two ancient Chinese coins，meaning "good things come in pairs".However，almost all the main styles of Chinese fancy knots are made up of two exactly similar parts，and the patterns on the front and the back sides are also similar in every detail.
In addition，Chinese knots are famous for their bright colours.Each of the Chinese knots is made of a single string of cotton，silk，gold or silver.But the colours of the strings are rich and have different traditional cultural meanings.Among the most commonly used base colours，red means good luck and happiness，green means health，and yellow，which was once known as a emperor's colour，may means wealth and honour.
In brief，the famous Chinese fancy knots fully reflect（反映）the depth of Chinese culture.These brightly coloured knots of different patterns，with their endless chains of knots，mean that life on earth will continue forever.
（1）When did Chinese fancy knots become popular？
（2）What does the Chinese character for "knot" mean？
（3）Why do people express strong wishes with Chinese knots？
（4）What are the main points about Chinese knots in Paragraph 3？
（5）What do Chinese fancy knots fully reflect？

The power of the wind
Light winds help us fly kites in spring and cool us in summer.Strong winds take away people's lives.Winds can be friendly or dangerous.They can also work for us.
Wind power is not new.Five thousand years ago，the Chinese first used windmills（风车）.In 700 A.D.，the Syrians and Persians used them too.In the seventeenth century，the people of the Netherlands built windmills to get seawater.Now we can use the wind to make electricity.
In many countries，wind turbines（风力发电机）are everywhere.A group of turbines is called a wind farm.
Wind energy has several advantages.One advantage is that there will always be wind.Wind power is also clean.It doesn't make air pollution.Farmers like wind power because electric companies pay them to use their land.And they can still grow crops and keep animals on their farms.
Wind power also has some disadvantages.One is that turbines are expensive，although the cost has gone down these years.A second disadvantage is noise pollution.This was a greater problem in the past.Today，if you stand under a turbine，you hear only a soft sound.You won't hear turbines at all 100 meters away.For some people，a third disadvantage is visual（视觉的） pollution，but other people like to see turbines turning together.
Today，wind power is growing fast.A lot of countries get their energy from wind.Denmark gets 20% of its energy from wind.China is going to get 26% of its energy from wind in 2030.Perhaps one day，all countries will use this safe，clean energy to make electricity.
（1）China is going to get 26% of its energy from wind B .
A.in 2020
B.in 2030
C.in 2040
D.in 2050
（2）According to the passage，how many advantages does wind energy have？ B
A.2.
B.3.
C.4.
D.5.
（3）Which of the following is true？ A
A.The cost of wind turbines is getting lower.
B.You won't hear the sound of turbines at all.
C.Wind energy causes visual pollution badly.
D.Every country makes good use of wind energy.
【分析】本文主要介绍了"风的力量"及其优缺点和应用。
【解答】（1）细节理解题。根据最后一段"China is going to get 26% of its energy from wind in 2030"到2030年，中国26%的能源将来自风能。可知，到2030年，中国26%的能源将来自风能。故选B。
（2）细节归纳题。根据 Wind energy has several advantages.One advantage is that there will always be wind.Wind power is also clean.It doesn't make air pollution.Farmers like wind power because electric companies pay them to use their land.And they can still grow crops and keep animals on their farms.（风能有几个优点。一个优点是总会有风。风力发电也是清洁的。它不会造成空气污染。农民喜欢风力发电，因为电力公司支付他们使用土地的费用。他们仍然可以在农场里种植农作物和饲养动物。）可知有三个优点。故选B。
（3）推理判断题。根据Wind power also has some disadvantages.One is that turbines are expensive，although the cost has gone down these years.（风力发电也有一些缺点。一个是涡轮机价格昂贵，尽管近年来成本有所下降。）可知风力发电机价格在下降。故选B。
【点评】做题时首先对原文材料迅速浏览，掌握全文的主旨大意。其次，细读题材，各个击破。掌握全文的大意之后，细细阅读材料后的问题，弄清每题要求后，带着问题，再回到原文中去寻找、捕获有关信息。
16．（8分）When watching sports events，we often notice athletes wearing earphones en while preparing in the locker room or entering the stadium.They keep their eyes shut，and gently nod along the beats.It seems the music is giving them power and cheering them up for the competition.We sometimes do the same.You might have a list of favorite songs for your morning exercises.But is there any science behind such practices？
According to a recent research，it turns out there is.Music actually does make us feel powerful，but not all songs have the same effect.
The research was led by Dennis Hsu of the Kellogg School of Management at Northwester University in the US.His team had people listen to 31 songs of different types.The listeners felt powerful after listening to some songs，such as Queen's We Will Rock You and 2 Unlimited Get Ready for This.
Researchers also found that high﹣power music made people want to take control in social events and come fist in competition.That matters a lot in sports. "It's commonly said that sports are 90 percent mental and only 10 percent physical，" The Huffington Post reported.
Great athletes know this idea well.NBA player Kobe Bryant，for example，often put on big headphones and even fell into deep thought to boost his game and reduced his anxiety.
As for the reason for music's magical power，Hsu's team came up with one possible explanation：when people hear music that expresses a sense of power，they mimic（模拟） these feelings in their mind.
When choosing music，we also need to look at the type of music，according to researchers.
In previous research by the Music in Exercise and Sports Group at Brunei University in London，they found that pop was perfect for slower，more repetitive﹣type tasks.If you're warming up or cooling down after exercises，pop songs are the correct choice.
Dance music was found to be best suitable to strength and weight training because it's "fast and rhythmical（有节奏感的）."
During high﹣intensity（高强度的）workouts，though，you'd better not listen to rock.Its different changes in tempo（节拍）can affect your rhythm.
（1）What is the main purpose of the first paragraph？ B
A.To introduce favorite songs for morning exercises.
B.To lead in the topic that music matters in sports.
C.To give an example of athletes' daily life.
D.To explain how to choose music.
（2）According to the passage，Dennis Hsu probably agrees that B .
A.Listening to music always makes athletes relaxed
B.powerful music can make people produce similar feelings in their mind
C.the result of a game is mainly affected by the physical condition of the players
D.most athletes still don't know the effects of high﹣power music on their performance
（3）The underlined word "boost" in Paragraph 5 probably means D .
A.control
B.lose
C.continue
D.improve
（4）What can we learn from the passage？ C
A.Pop music is a reasonable choice for high﹣intensity workouts.
B.Rock music helps people keep their rhythms when exercising.
C.People are advised to listen to pop music before and after exercise.
D.People should dance to music while doing strength and weight training.
【分析】本文主要讲了音乐在体育运动中重要性。
【解答】（1）B.段落目的题。通读第一段，根据It seems the music is giving them power and cheering them up for the competition.We sometimes do the same.You might have a list of favorite songs for your morning exercises.But is there any science behind such practices？音乐似乎给了他们力量，让他们为比赛振奋起来。我们有时也这样做。你可能有一张晨练时最喜欢的歌曲列表。但这种做法背后有什么科学依据吗？可知，此段目的是为了引出音乐在体育运动中很重要的话题。故选B。
（2）B.推理判断题。根据As for the reason for music's magical power，Hsu's team came up with one possible explanation：when people hear music that expresses a sense of power，they mimic（模拟） these feelings in their mind.至于音乐魔力的原因，Hsu的团队提出了一种可能的解释：当人们听到表达一种力量感的音乐时，他们会在大脑中模仿这种感觉。可知，Dennis Hsu可能同意强大的音乐可以让人们在他们的头脑中产生类似的感觉。故选B。
（3）D.词义猜测题。根据NBA player Kobe Bryant，for example，often put on big headphones and even fell into deep thought to boost his game and reduced his anxiety.例如，前NBA球员科比•布莱恩特经常戴上大耳机，甚至陷入沉思来﹣﹣他的比赛水平，缓解他的焦虑。可以推测，这里的boost应该是"提高"的意思。故选D。
（4）C.细节理解题。根据If you're warming up or cooling down after exercises，pop songs are the correct choice.如果你在准备热身或运动后想冷静下来，流行歌曲是正确的选择。可知，人们被建议在运动前后听流行音乐。故选C。

17．（6分）Most of us fear failure.However，without failure，progress would be impossible.In fact，the word success comes from the Latin succedere，meaning "to come after".And what does success usually come after？Failure.It seems that one cannot exist without the other.
Every failure﹣﹣even the worst ones﹣﹣helps us learn to do things differently in the future. "Learning from the past mistakes and making changes helped me to reach the top of Everest successfully，" says mountaineer Pete Athans，who has now reached the world's highest peak（山峰）seven times.
Failure also reminds us that things can go wrong﹣﹣sometimes with terrible results.Austrian Gerlinde Kaltenbrunner is the first woman to reach the top of all 14 of the world's 8，000﹣meter peaks without extra oxygen（氧气）.In 2007，while climbing in Nepal，she was in an avalanche（雪崩）.She survived，but two nearby Spanish climbers died.The experience taught Kaltenbrunner that no matter how prepared a person is，bad things can still happen.But Kaltenbrunner decided she had to learn from her experience and move on.
Accepting failure is not easy for many，though.We are often reluctant to tell people that we are failures because our good name depends on success.However，things are slowly changing.In the past ten years，some scientific magazines﹣mostly in medicine﹣have published reports of failed experiments.The belief is that the science community can also learn from "negative" results and that this can finally lead to positive outcomes.
The business world already understands the value of negative results.Eli Lilly and Company has failure parties to study data about medicine that doesn't work.
In fact，one of the business world's most famous failures became one of its biggest successes.In the early 1990s，Apple Corporation created the Apple Newton.It was one of Apple's biggest failures.However，Apple's CEO，Steve Jobs，believed the product had potential （潜力）and he began to improve it.In time，this led to the creation of the iPhone and the iPad，two of the company's most successful products.
The story of the Apple Newton can teach us another important lesson about failure.There is a lot we can learn by studying mistakes.Perhaps the most important lesson is that failure and success are two sides of the same coin.One truly cannot exist without the other.
（1）The writer writes Paragraph 2 and 3 mainly to A .
A.show how bad things can become important lessons
B.tell us that it's possible for anyone to be successful
C.prove how bad things can happen in any situation
D.teach us what not to do when climbing mountains
（2）The underlined word "reluctant" in Paragraph 4 probably means C .
A.unable
B.unsure
C.unwilling
D.uninterested
（3）What is the passage mainly about？ D
A.An attitude towards failure.
B.The experience of success.
C.A difficult way to success.
D.The rewards of failure.
【分析】许多人害怕失败，其实成功就来自失败。本文列举了AustrianGerlindeKaltenbrunner 等几个人作为例证。
【解答】（1）A．推理判断题。根据 Failurealsoremindsusthatthingscangowrong ﹣ sometimeswithterribleresults.和TheexperiencetaughtKaltenbrunnerthatnomatterhowpreparedapersonis，badthingscanstillhappen.ButKaltenbrunnerdecidedshehadtolearnfromherexperienceandmoveon.无论怎样，都会有糟糕的事情发生，但是应该从中汲取教训，继续向前。故选：A。
（2）C．词义猜测题。根据Acceptingfailureisnoteasyformany承认失败是一件不容易的事，可知人们不愿意承认失败。故选：C。
（3）D．主旨大意题。根据Mostofusfearfailure.However，withoutfailure，progresswouldbeimpossible.本文主要讲述了许多人害怕失败，其实成功就来自失败。故选：D。

Chinese Fancy Knot
Chinese fancy knots，also called Chinese knots，refer to the traditional decorative knots in Chinese culture.They began as a form of traditional art in the Tang and Song Dynasties in China，and became popular in the Ming Dynasty.Long ago，they found their way to Japan and other Southeast Asian countries，and were well received.
Chinese Fancy Knots there.Now they are taken as one of the most classic symbols of Chinese culture.As for the name itself，it is surely meaningful.The Chinese word for"knot"，jie，means "connection"，It is related to lots of cultural ideas﹣marriage，brotherhood，reunion，etc.Meanwhile，the pronunciation of the Chinese word jie is very close to that of ji， "good luck".As a result，Chinese knots perfectly serve as a way to express people's strong wishes for good things like joy，love and good luck.
Besides，the knots，widely existing in the everyday life of the Chinese culture，come in different sizes.Small ones are connected to jewelry（珠宝） ，clothes，gift﹣packages and furniture in order to attract people's attention，while large ones are used to decorate a living room or study.Whether large or small，there are over a dozen basic knot patterns（图案）named according to their shapes，usages or origins.For example，Double Coin Knots are called shuangqian Jie because they are in the shape of two ancient Chinese coins，meaning "good things come in pairs".However，almost all the main styles of Chinese fancy knots are made up of two exactly similar parts，and the patterns on the front and the back sides are also similar in every detail.
In addition，Chinese knots are famous for their bright colours.Each of the Chinese knots is made of a single string of cotton，silk，gold or silver.But the colours of the strings are rich and have different traditional cultural meanings.Among the most commonly used base colours，red means good luck and happiness，green means health，and yellow，which was once known as a emperor's colour，may means wealth and honour.
In brief，the famous Chinese fancy knots fully reflect（反映）the depth of Chinese culture.These brightly coloured knots of different patterns，with their endless chains of knots，mean that life on earth will continue forever.
（1）When did Chinese fancy knots become popular？
In the Ming Dynasty.
（2）What does the Chinese character for "knot" mean？
It means"connection".
（3）Why do people express strong wishes with Chinese knots？
Because the pronunciation of the Chinese word jie is very close to that of ji， "good luck".

【分析】本文主要讲述了中国结历史、大小、色彩的不同图案等，中国结充分反映了中国文化的深度，它意味着地球上的生命将永远延续下去的意思。

（1）In the Ming Dynasty.根据第一段"They began as a form of traditional art in the Tang and Song Dynasties in China，and became popular in the Ming Dynasty.它们在唐宋时期开始作为一种传统艺术形式在中国出现，并在明代流行起来。"可知，中国结是开始于中国唐宋时期的一种传统艺术形式，到明朝开始流行。故填：In the Ming Dynasty.
（2）It means"connection".根据第二段"The Chinese word for"knot"，jie，means "connection"，It is related to lots of cultural ideas﹣marriage，brotherhood，reunion，etc."结"一词的中文意思是"联系"，它与许多文化观念有关，如婚姻、兄弟情谊、团圆等等。" 可知，"结"的中文意思是"联系"，故填：It means"connection".
（3）Because the pronunciation of the Chinese word jie is very close to that of ji， "good luck".根据第二段"Meanwhile，the pronunciation of the Chinese word jie is very close to that of ji， "good luck".同时，汉语中的"结"一词的发音与"吉祥"一词的发音非常接近。" 可知，同时，汉语"结"字的发音与"吉祥"极为接近，故填：Because the pronunciation of the Chinese word jie is very close to that of ji， "good luck".
（4）Their sizes，usages and patterns.根据文章第三段"Besides，the knots，widely existing in the everyday life of the Chinese culture，come in different sizes...Whether large or small，there are over a dozen basic knot patterns named according to their shapes，usages or origins.此外，结广泛存在于中国文化的日常生活中，大小不一……无论大小，根据形状、用途或起源，有十几种基本的结图案命名。"可知，主要讲述的是中国结的大小，用法和模式，故填：Their sizes，usages and patterns.
