Here are some good choices for you.UCL Senate House HubUCL Senate House Hub opened in 2015 and provides 144 study spaces. What’s more, you can check how many spaces are available online before you head to the place. Located on the 3rd floor of the South Block of Senate House, the center has room for individual and group study in traditional library spaces, as well as armchairs and wi-fi coverage.UCL Eastman Dental LibraryThe newly redecorated UCL Eastman Dental Library is located halfway along Gray's Inn Road and is open from Monday to Friday, 9:00am 800pm. The library has 72 study spaces, and many IT facilities（equipment with access to the Internet）. The library also has a study room for meetings and a computer cluster room with a whiteboard.UCL Language & Speech Science LibraryUCL Language & Speech Science Library（LASS）has disabled access and has recently been decorated to add extra study spaces. With only 49 spaces, LASS is smaller than most other UCL libraries and tends to fill up quickly, so get there early to avoid disappointment.Senate House LibraryThis one may be cheating as the Senate House Library is not technically a UCL library. However, all UCL students and staff can register for free membership online. With millions of books and journals, Senate House Library offers some places a little less used by UCL students but perfect for students who want to focus on some hard work.1. The four places are mainly introduced to someone who________.A. likes learning online B. prefers to study in widely-known librariesC. loves reading D. is preparing for exams2. What should students do online before they go to UCL Senate House Hub? A. Check whether there are available seats.B. Take the Membership Card.C. Make an appointment in advance.D. Check the library’s opening hours.3. How many libraries can offer Internet services?A. Four. B. One. C. Two. D. Three.【答案】1. D 2. A 3. B【解析】这是一篇应用文，介绍了伦敦大学学院几个供学生复习备考的地方。【1题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段“With exams just around the corner, now is a good time to explore some of UCL's lesser-known study spaces and get down to some revision. Here are some good choices for you.”（随着考试的临近，现在是一个很好的时间去探索一些UCL鲜为人知的学习空间，并着手进行一些复习。这里有一些不错的选择。）可知，这四个地方主要介绍给正在准备考试的人。故选D。【2题详解】细节理解题。根据UCL Senate House Hub部分中的第二句“What's more, you can check how many spaces are available online before you head to the place”（更重要的是，你可以在去那里之前上网查看有多少空位）可知，在前往伦敦大学学院参议院中心之前，学生应该在网上查看是否有空位。故选A。【3题详解】推理判断题。根据UCL Eastman Dental Library部分中的“The library also has a study room for meetings and a computer cluster room with a whiteboard”（图书馆还有一间会议室和一间带白板的电脑室）可知，只有这一家图书馆有电脑和网络资源可使用。故选B。BWork is a part of living—my grandparents understood that. They lived and worked on a central Pennsylvania farm that has been in my family for 150 years. Hess Farm, at that time, was self-sufficient. They raised beef cattle for meat, chickens for eggs and hogs for pork and lard. Dairy cows were kept for milk and the cream from which Grandma made butter and cheese. That little yard they had became a garden.The Depression, therefore, didn’t make a dramatic change in their lives. But it did bring an unending flow of men out of work, drifting from job to job, to the farm. The first man to show up on the kitchen porch was ragged-looking, but polite. He took off his hat and quietly explained that he hadn’t eaten for a while. Grandpa stood watching him a bit, then said, “There’s a pile of firewood stacked against the fence behind the barn (畜棚). I’ve been needing to get it moved to the other side of the fence. You have just about enough time to finish the job before lunch.” With that, he stuck out his rough hand to the stranger.Grandma said a surprising thing happened. The drifter got a shine in his eyes and, behind his beard, he smiled. He hurried to the barn in a near trot (小跑). She set another place at the table and baked an apple pie. During lunch, the stranger didn’t say much, but his shoulders straightened when he left. “Nothing ruins a man like losing his self-respect”, Grandpa later told me.Soon after, another man showed up asking for a meal. This one was dressed in a suit and carried a small, worn suitcase. Grandpa came out and then offered a handshake. “There’s a stack of firewood along the fence down behind the barn I’ve been meaning to get moved. It’d sure be a help to me. And we’d be pleased to have you stay for lunch.”The fellow set his suitcase and neatly laid his coat and vest on top. Then he set off to work.Grandma says she doesn’t remember how many strangers they shared a meal with during those Depression days—or how many times that pile of wood got moved.4. What is the result of the Depression?A. Some people earned a lot of money.B. A large number of people went abroad.C. Many people were laid off.D Quite a few people died of a strange disease.5. Which of the following best describes the grandpa?A. He pretended to be generous.B. He pretended to be mean.C. He shared meal with everyone who came to his door.D. He gave meal to the poor without losing their self-respect.6. How many strangers did Grandpa and Grandma share a meal with during those days?A. They shared a meal with only two people.B. They shared a meal with twenty people.C. The passage doesn’t mention the number.D. They didn’t share a meal with anyone.7. What can we know about the stranger from the underlined sentence?A. The stranger was full after lunch.B. The stranger earned his bread through his own work.C. The stranger wanted to show his gratitude.D. The stranger wanted to stretch his body.【答案】4. C 5. D 6. C 7. B【解析】【分析】本文为一篇记叙文，讲述了爷爷和奶奶为了不让流浪汉失去尊严，让他们为自己在农场上干活换取一顿饭的故事。【4题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第二段关键句“But it did bring an unending flow of men out of work, drifting from job to job, to the farm. ”（但它确实带来了源源不断的失业人口，从一个工作漂泊到另一个工作，来到农场。）可知，经济大萧条导致了很多人失业。故选C项。【5题详解】推理判断题。根据文章第二段关键句“There’s a pile of firewood stacked against the fence behind the barn. I’ve been needing to get it moved to the other side of the fence. You have just about enough time to finish the job before lunch.”（谷仓后面的篱笆旁堆着一堆柴火。我一直想把它移到栅栏的另一边。午饭前你有足够的时间完成这项工作。）并结合文章第三段关键句“The drifter got a shine in his eyes and, behind his beard, he smiled. ”（流浪汉的眼睛闪闪发亮，胡子后面露出了微笑。）及“Nothing ruins a man like losing his self-respect（没有什么比失去自尊更能毁掉一个人的了）”可以推测，爷爷让流浪汉干活换取一顿饭，他在不损害穷人自尊的情况下把饭分给他们。故选D项。【6题详解】细节理解题。根据文章最后一段关键句“Grandma says she doesn’t remember how many strangers they shared a meal with during those Depression days—or how many times that pile of wood got moved.”（奶奶说，她不记得在大萧条时期有多少陌生人和他们一起吃过饭，也不记得那堆木头被搬过多少次。）可知，通过奶奶说的话可以判断，在经济大萧条的日子里，爷爷和奶奶和很多陌生人吃过饭，但是文章没有给出具体的数字。故选C项。【7题详解】句意猜测题。根据文章第三段划线句“During lunch, the stranger didn’t say much, but his shoulders straightened when he left. ”（吃午饭时，这个陌生人没说什么，但他走的时候挺直了肩膀。）并结合上一段内容“There’s a pile of firewood stacked against the fence behind the barn (畜棚). I’ve been needing to get it moved to the other side of the fence. You have just about enough time to finish the job before lunch.” With that, he stuck out his rough hand to the stranger.”可知，爷爷通过让流浪汉干活，提供给他一顿饭，因此，这个流浪汉通过自己的努力工作换得了面包。故选B项。CEducational programs often use fear-based messaging and films of crash scenes to reduce risky driving behavior among young people. But does this “scary” approach work? A new study suggests that fear-based messaging fails to reduce risky driving behavior, while fear-based Virtual Reality (VR) films showing a violent collision may actually lead young drivers to take more chances behind the wheel.A team of psychologists in Belgium conducted a study of 146 students who had been legally driving for less than five years. The researchers examined the impact of both content (fear vs. positive) and delivery mode (2D vs. VR) of driver safety intervention programs.By showing a serious consequence such as death, fear-based driver education films attempt to arouse a sense of fear and persuade young people to drive more carefully. Positively framed films take the opposite approach, using humor and modeling safe driving behaviors that result in positive consequences.Three tests were used to analyze the risk-taking behavior of the young drivers before and after participating in the intervention program. One was a questionnaire. Another was a test on traffic, which asks participants to watch video clips of driving situations and choose whether they view a situation as too risky, for example, choosing whether to pass another car in icy conditions. A third test was used to measure the level of emotional arousal (such as feeling afraid) after watching a film.The results showed that participants who viewed the fear-based VR film reported riskier driving behaviors afterward, while those who viewed a positively framed VR film exhibited the greatest reduction in risky driving behavior. This finding supports other research that has shown that exposing participants to an extreme collision tends to activate defensive mechanisms, such as paying attention for a shorter time, disengaging, rejecting a message, and an increase in risky behaviors.“Fear appeals have been used in many health and environmental campaigns, such as smoking and anti-drug,” says Dr. Cutello of the research team. “Further experimental research is needed to determine whether the use of fear is effective.”8 What is the new study about?A. VR’s application on driving education. B. Young drivers’ risky driving behaviors.C. The deadly consequence of violent crashes. D. The effect of drivers’ educational programs.9. Why were participants asked to watch video clips in the second test?A. To assess driving emotions. B. To judge driving behaviors.C. To gain driving competence. D. To keep safe driving in mind.10. Which was the result of the fear-based VR film in the study?A. Drivers show fewer risky behaviors. B. Drivers were less able to focus long.C. Drivers were unwilling to cooperate. D. Drivers became more open to advice.11. What does Dr. Cutello’s words suggest?A More research should be conducted. B. Fear-based education shouldn’t be used.The result of his research is unconvincing. D. The use of fear education has been cut down.【答案】8. D 9. B 10. B 11. A【解析】【分析】这是一篇说明文。一项新研究表明，基于恐惧的信息和撞车场景的司机教育项目并不能减少危险的驾驶行为，实际上可能会导致年轻司机在驾驶时更冒险。文章主要介绍了这项研究开展的过程以及发现。【8题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段“Educational programs often use fear-based messaging and films of crash scenes to reduce risky driving behavior among young people. But does this “scary” approach work? A new study suggests that fear-based messaging fails to reduce risky driving behavior, while fear-based Virtual Reality (VR) films showing a violent collision may actually lead young drivers to take more chances behind the wheel.(教育项目经常使用基于恐惧的信息和撞车场景的电影来减少年轻人的危险驾驶行为。但是这种“可怕”的方法有效吗？一项新的研究表明，基于恐惧的信息传递并不能减少危险的驾驶行为，而基于恐惧的虚拟现实电影显示的暴力碰撞实际上可能会导致年轻司机在驾驶时更冒险)”可知，这项新研究是关于司机教育计划的效果。故选D。【9题详解】细节理解题。根据第四段中“Another was a test on traffic, which asks participants to watch video clips of driving situations and choose whether they view a situation as too risky, for example, choosing whether to pass another car in icy conditions.(另一项是交通测试，要求参与者观看驾驶情况的视频剪辑，并选择他们是否认为某一情况太危险，例如，选择是否在结冰的情况下超过另一辆车)”可知，参与者在第二次测试中被要求观看视频剪辑是为了判断驾驶行为。故选B。【10题详解】细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“This finding supports other research that has shown that exposing participants to an extreme collision tends to activate defensive mechanisms, such as paying attention for a shorter time, disengaging, rejecting a message, and an increase in risky behaviors.(这一发现支持了其他研究，该研究表明，将参与者暴露在极端的冲突中，往往会激活防御机制，如更短的时间集中注意力，分心，拒绝信息，以及增加风险行为)”可知，研究中基于恐惧的虚拟现实电影的结果是司机不能较长时间集中注意力。故选B。【11题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Further experimental research is needed to determine whether the use of fear is effective.(需要进一步的实验研究来确定恐惧的使用是否有效)”可推知，Cutello博士的话暗示了应该进行更多的研究。故选A。DThe 90-minute long game involves two goals, black and white checkered (格子) balls, goalkeeper, and no hand use. This sport, of course, is soccer or football, as the majority of the rest of the world says. It’s confusing that some countries call this sport “football” while Americans and Canadians say “soccer”, but apparently the British are mostly to blame. The name confusion is actually thanks to British universities in the early 1800s who tried standardizing various sports games that had different rules and regulations to differentiate between them.Rugby, formerly known as “rugby football” or “rugger”, is a translation of “football” where you can use your hands. Soccer, originally “association football” or “asoccer”, is the traditional translation of “football” where people don’t use their hands. People in England started shortening the names by dropping the “association” part of the phrase as well as the “a” in “asoccer”. If your head hurts from thinking about this, prepare to have your mind blown by these things you probably never thought about — until just now.Now comes the complexity: in 1869, Rutgers and Princeton colleges held the first traditional, recorded, football game using a unique combination of rules from both rugby and soccer, creating what we know as “American football” and what other countries refer to as “gridiron”. Thanks to the popularity of American football, soccer players in America keep to “soccer” to help differentiate themselves, according to the Encyclopedia Britannica.If the name “soccer” stuck in Britain, and if Americans came up with a better one for American football, there would be much less confusion. So why did the “football” short kind of “association football” become more popular than “soccer” in England anyway? Originally, American influence on Britain during World War II made “soccer” the popular term in England before the 1980s, The Atlantic reports. Once the sport became more popular in the United States around that time, the British stopped using “soccer”.12. What caused the name confusion in the early 1800s?A. Sports rules. B. Game time.C. Ball popularity. D. News organizations.13. In which of the following do the two belong to the same one?A. “Rugby” and “Soccer”. B. “Rugger” and “American football”.C. “American football” and “Gridiron”. D. “Gridiron” and “Association football”.14. What does the underlined sentence mean in Paragraph 3?A. The names make it more difficult for people to understand.B. You cannot use your hands while playing games.C. The name confusion is becoming stronger.D. Making the best of the head in the sports is extremely vital.15. What does the author imply in the last paragraph?A. The name confusion would become less.B. History and culture had a great effect on the name.C. The British disliked soccer during World War II.D. American soccer was more popular than English football.【答案】12. A 13. C 14. C 15. B【解析】【分析】这是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了关于英式的“soccer”和美式的“football”的文化渊源。【12题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The name confusion is actually thanks to British universities in the early 1800s who tried standardizing various sports games that had different rules and regulations to differentiate between them.（实际上，造成这种名称混淆的原因是19世纪早期英国大学试图将各种体育比赛标准化，并采用不同的习惯和规则来区分它们。）”可知，在19世纪早期，是体育规则导致了名字的混淆。故选A。【13题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Now comes the complexity: in 1869, Rutgers and Princeton colleges held the first traditional, recorded, football game using a unique combination of rules from both rugby and soccer, creating what we know as “American football” and what other countries refer to as “gridiron”.（事情就复杂了：1869年，罗格斯大学和普林斯顿大学结合英式橄榄球和英式足球的规则，举办了第一场有记载的传统足球比赛，这就是我们现在所说的“美式足球”，其他国家称之为“格里迪伦足球”。）”可知，“American football”和“gridiron”都是指美式足球。故选C。【14题详解】词句猜测题。根据文章第三段“Rugby, formerly known as “rugby football” or “rugger”, is a translation of “football” where you can use your hands. Soccer, originally “association football” or “asoccer”, is the traditional translation of “football” where people don’t use their hands. People in England started shortening the names by dropping the “association” part of the phrase as well as the “a” in “asoccer”.（橄榄球，以前被称为“Rugby football”或“rugger”，是“football”一词的翻译，在橄榄球比赛中你可以用手击球。Soccer最初是“association football”或“assoccer”，是“football”的传统翻译，人们不用手。英格兰人开始缩短名字，去掉词组中的“association”和“asocker”中的“a”。）”可知，本段主要描述了是否使用手来命名的复杂过程。划线部分意思是“命名过程愈加混乱了”。故选C。【15题详解】推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Originally, American influence on Britain during World War II made “soccer” the popular term in England before the 1980s, The Atlantic reports. Once the sport became more popular in the United States around that time, the British stopped using “soccer”.（据《大西洋月刊》报道，第二次世界大战期间，美国人对英国的影响使得soccer这个词在20世纪80年代之前在英国流行起来。大约在那个时候，这项运动在美国变得更加流行，英国人就不再使用“soccer”这个词了。）”可知，二战期间美国对英国影响较大，soccer被英国人普遍使用，但二战之后美国影响力减弱，于是英国人回到原来的用词football。由此可推断，历史和文化对名字有很大的影响。故选B。第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Despite the many ways to communicate, good communicators share in common important principles and techniques that enable them to communicate effectively.

Her university days now felt like a lifetime ago. When Jennifer thought back to it, she didn’t like the girl she had been then, but when she thought about Yui Fay, that discomfort disappeared and her whole life lit up.She couldn’t be more excited. She kept imagining their meeting – how they would run towards each other hugging and talking of the old times. As she imagined, happiness spread through her body.It was time to get dressed. As she was struggling about what to wear, she spotted a red summer dress, which she wore that night in Barcelona. She would never forget that night five years before. After a hard week at university, Yui Fay and she spontaneously (心血来潮地) bought bus tickets to Barcelona. They slept on the bus and then spent the whole day exploring the city. In the evening, they met these fun young guys and spent the whole night singing and dancing. Every day with Yui Fay was fun.After university Yui Fay went back to China where she took over her family’s business, while Jennifer took the job in an office. They promised to keep in contact. But then life happened. The occasional calls faded with time and they had not talked for over two years. Yet, of all her friends, Yui Fay was still the one she felt the closest to. She knew all her fears, dreams, and her wildest stories. She knew that if something happened, Yui Fay would be there for her no matter what. And vice versa. Some friendships just survive the passage of time.Yet the idea of meeting her was also terrifying. What if…? The idea was too hard to put into words. What if the person she was so fond of was no longer? What if this dinner turned out to be nothing more than a meeting between two boring businesswomen?At that moment, her cellphone rang.注意：1. 续写词数应为 150 左右;2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。Jennifer took up her phone and looked at the screen.__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Just then, someone was coming towards Jennifer.__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________【答案】Paragraph 1:Jennifer took up her phone and looked at the screen. It was Yui Fay. She suggested Jennifer bring more clothes as they would have a big project tonight. Confused though she was, Jennifer did what she was told as always. She packed a few more clothes, the red dress included, and left for the appointed restaurant. Yui Fay had not arrived, so she took her time to scan the menu and thought about what to order.Paragraph 2:Just then, someone was coming towards Jennifer. Jennifer looked up and saw the face that she had been dreaming these days. “Yui Fay!” She shouted excitedly and ran to give her a big hug. Yui Fay smilingly hugged her back and told her what the big project was. “Let’s take a bus trip to Barcelona and relive our adventure!” Yue Fay hadn’t changed a bit, still the wild girl she used to be. And Jennifer knew immediately that it would be a great day.Version 2:Paragraph 1: Jennifer took up her phone and looked at the screen. It was Yui Fay. She said that she would not be able to come and meet her and asked for a rain check. Jennifer was shocked and disappointed. After all, she’d been waiting for this moment for ages. Sad though she was, she had no choice but to agree. Having hung up the phone, she aimlessly wondered on the street and ended up walking into the appointed restaurant. The menu was filled with her favorite dishes yet she had little appetite for anything. She was so sad that she was not aware of what would surprise her next.Paragraph 2:Just then, someone was coming towards Jennifer. She delicately patted Jennifer on one side of her shoulder, slipped to the other side and said, “Is the seat taken?” Jennifer looked up and saw that naughty, wild and adventurous face that had been carved into her brain. “Yui Fay!” Jennifer shouted out excitedly. “Why are you here?” Yui Fay smilingly explained that she had followed her the whole time to give her a big surprise. The rest of the day was great joy. It turned out that they didn’t change a bit, neither did their friendship.【解析】【分析】文章以人物为线索展开，讲述了Jennifer即将要和五年没见的大学时期最要好的朋友Yui Fay见面，重点描述了对过去生活的回忆以及她对见面场景的设想。【详解】1.段落续写：①由第一段首句内容“珍妮弗拿起手机，看着屏幕。”可知，第一段可描写电话的主要内容。②由第二段首句内容“就在这时，有人向珍妮弗走来。”可知，第二段可描写两人见面后的场景，以及即将要进行的大计划。2.续写线索：Yui Fay建议多带衣服——Jennifer感到困惑——Jennifer打包几件衣服——前往餐厅——Jennifer抬头看到Yui Fay——Jennifer兴奋地喊着——给予拥抱——告诉Jennifer大项目——Jennifer意识到将会是美好的一天3.词汇激活：行为类①建议：suggest/advise②前往：leave for/head for③抬头：look up/raise one’s head④拥抱：hug/embrace⑤告诉：tell sb. sth./inform sb. of sth.情绪类：①困惑的：confused/puzzled②兴奋地：excitedly/feverishly【点睛】[高分句型1]Confused though she was, Jennifer did what she was told as always.（though引导的让步状语从句使用了部分倒装，what引导宾语从句）[高分句型2]And Jennifer knew immediately that it would be a great day.（that引导宾语从句）
