Text 5

W：Yes，it’s our regular $50 bookcase on sale today for $40.If you buy a pair，you can save another $5 for each.
M：OK，I’Il take a pair.
Text 6
M：Where did you go?
W：Well，I went to Japan.Here are some pictures.I took a boat ride when we were in Tokyo.I visited Tokyo Tower.It is the highest building in Japan and I took photos of the temples，Disneyland and...

Text 10
W：I’m looking for a small apartment or maybe a small house.We are talking about 60 square metres.Nothing big.I only need two bedrooms，one for me and the other for guests.One bathroom will do，and to be honest，I hardly ever cook so the kitchen doesn’t have to be very big.
It’s really important that I don’t want to be looking at just another apartment block.In front of a park would be perfect but a top floor apartment would do fine.Then I would like it to be near a transport system because I don’t have a car and use public transportation all the time.I’m single and have no kids so schools are not important.And there is just one other thing—I do a lot of work on the Internet and so I would need a broadband Internet connection.Do you think you have anything that matches my requirements?

In the kitchen of my mother’s houses there has always been a wooden stand(木架) with a small notepad(记事本) and a hole for a pencil.
I’m looking for paper on which to note down the name of a book I am recommending to my mother.Over forty years since my earliest memories of the kitchen pad and pencil，five houses later，the current paper and pencil look the same as they always did.Surely it can’t be the same pencil.The pad is more modern，but the wooden stand is definitely the original one.
“I’m just amazed you still have the same stand for holding the pad and pencil after all these years，” I say to her，walking back into the living room with a sheet of paper and the pencil.“You still use a pencil.Can’t you afford a pen？”
My mother replies a little sharply.“It works perfectly well.I’ve always kept the stand in the kitchen.I never knew when I might want to note down an idea，and I was always in the kitchen in those days.”
Immediately I can picture her，hair wild，blue housecoat covered in flour，a wooden spoon in one hand，the pencil in the other，her mouth moving silently.My mother smiles and says，“One day I was cooking and watching baby Pauline，and I had a brilliant thought，but the stand was empty.One of the children must have taken the paper.So I just picked up the breadboard and wrote it all down on the back.It turned out to be a real breakthrough for solving the mathematical problem I was working on.”
This story—which happened before I was born—reminds me how extraordinary my mother was，and is，as a gifted mathematician.I feel embarrassed that I complain about not having enough child-free time to work.Later，when my mother is in the bathroom，I go into her kitchen and turn over the breadboards.Sure enough，on the back of the smallest one，are some penciled marks I recognize as mathematics.Those symbols have traveled unaffected through fifty years，rooted in the soil of a cheap wooden breadboard，invisible(看不到的) exhibits at every meal.

There is some unwelcome news for students preparing for exams and officers putting in long hours—you don’t need that “refreshment(提神) break” as much as you may think.
Scientists believed it was not easy for people to continue their work if they felt the need to have a snack or a rest to make them feel better.They argued that the only way to regain willpower is by supplying more energy to our bodies with rest，food or entertainment.
But psychologists have challenged this theory，saying weak willpower is in your head.They found that a person’s mindset(理念) and belief about willpower determine how long and how well they’ll be able to work on a tough mental exercise.“If you think of willpower as something that’s limited，you’re more likely to be tired when you perform a difficult task，” said Professor Veronika Job.“But if you think of willpower as something that is not easily depleted，you can go on and on.”
The researchers led by Mr.Job designed an experiment to test the students’ beliefs about willpower.After a tiring task those who believed or were led to believe that willpower was a limited resource performed worse on standard concentration tests than those who thought of willpower as something they had more control over.
Mr.Job said，“Students who may already have trouble studying are being told that their powers of concentration are limited，and they need to take frequent breaks.But a belief in willpower as a non-limited resource makes people stronger in their ability to work through challenges.”
The findings could help people who are battling with temptation(诱惑)：people following strict diets and doing exercise regularly to lose weight，people trying to overcome addictions，employees facing a tight deadline.Willpower isn’t driven by a biologically based process as much as we used to think.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文，以前人们认为意志力的来源是有限的，关于意志力心理学家有了新的理论，认为意志力存在人脑中，对我们的行为能够产生很大的影响。
28．What opinion did scientists have in the past?
A．Willpower was a limited resource.
B．It was hard to regain willpower.
C．Hardworking people seldom took breaks.
D．People could easily feel tired when working.
答案 A
解析 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“They argued that the only way to regain willpower is by supplying more energy to our bodies with rest，food or entertainment.”可知，意志力是有限的资源。故A项正确。
29．Which of the following can replace the underlined word “depleted” in Paragraph 3?
A．Given up. B．Recovered.
C．Used up. D．Changed.
答案 C
解析 词义猜测题。根据画线词前的“If you think of willpower as something that’s limited，you’re more likely to be tired when you perform a difficult task”和画线句中的But可知，画线处意为：如果你认为意志力很难被耗尽，那么你就可以继续下去。而use up意为“用尽”，故C项正确。
30．What can we learn from the findings of the experiment?
A．Students benefit most from the research.
B．Frequent breaks are not good for learning.
C．Willpower can be regained after people have a good rest.
D．The belief in willpower can change a man’s behavior.
答案 D
解析 推理判断题。根据第三段的“They found that a person’s mindset(理念) and belief about willpower determine how long and how well they’ll be able to work on a tough mental exercise.”以及第四、五段的内容可知，研究人员发现意志力能够决定人们做一项艰难的任务的时间和结果。也就是说意志力能够影响人们的行为。故D项正确。
31．Why does the author write the text?
A．To explain the power of willpower.
B．To show us how to build willpower.
C．To tell us the ways of gaining willpower.
D．To introduce a new theory on willpower.
答案 D
解析 写作意图题。作者在第二段介绍了以前人们对意志力的看法，第三段第一句“But psychologists have challenged this theory，saying weak willpower is in your head.”告诉我们心理学家有了新的观点，下文主要介绍了关于意志力的新的发现。所以本文介绍了关于意志力的一种新的理论。故D项正确。
D

After dinner，you take your plates to a box next to the sink.You don’t have to clean them，your machine does.It produces new plates every time you need to eat.Later in the evening，you phone your other half，who is on a business trip halfway around the world.As you drink your cup of hot coffee，it makes your other half’s cup change color on the other side of the world，another special way to keep in touch.
32．The problem mentioned in the first paragraph will be solved .
A．by the intelligent kitchen itself
B．by finding a good housekeeper
C．after you call the supermarket

C．cook delicious food
D．clean fridge in time

A．in secret B．by chance
C．by itself D．again and again
答案 C
解析 词义猜测题。联系前一句“The computer’s system will help keep an ‘eye’ on the fridge.”及后一句“So you don’t have to worry about it at all.”可知，此处指的是，如果冰箱空了，智能厨房能靠自己解决这些问题。by itself靠自己。故选C。

Taking a vacation is a perfect way to help family members connected with one another，which is especially important when you consider the effects it has on children.
The following will help you learn how to choose the right vacation for bringing your family together.
Making the time
With summer filled with school work，there are fewer times available for families to take vacations together. 36 You can get kids excited by packing them up for a fun-filled weekend trip in winter or spring.
Choosing the location
The first step you’ll want to take is picking a place.There are plenty of choices，but one of the best choices is a place connected to the outdoors. 37 These kinds of activities give your family a sense of achievement.
Setting some goals
38 You should also think about how you want the connection with your family to develop.Vacations are a chance to open up to one another.Spending a few days in the mountains with only your family members can help bring meaningful conversations in a beautiful setting.
39
One thing you don’t want is your children not getting along well with each other.Often the best solution is to keep your schedule full and include different activities.Perhaps include your children’s opinions on what they want to do.
Family vacations can lead to a real turning point for family members providing a memorable experience that also makes everyone happier. 40

38．答案 G
解析 根据设空后的“You should also think about how you want the connection with your family to develop.Vacations are a chance to open up to one another.”可知，G项(假期不应该只是为了逃离工作或观光)符合语境。故选G。
39．答案 A
解析 本空考查小标题。根据下文的“One thing you don’t want is your children not getting along well with each other.”和“Family vacations can lead to a real turning point for family members providing a memorable experience that also makes everyone happier.”可知，要让孩子们开心起来。故选A。
40．答案 C
解析 根据空前的“Family vacations can lead to a real turning point for family members providing a memorable experience that also makes everyone happier.”可知，下次你计划你们的旅行时，要相应地做计划。C项符合语境。

语篇解读 这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲了在暑假期间，作者参加了第十六届自然英语竞赛，在比赛中作者名列前十，获得了宝贵的经验。作者也非常感谢朋友的帮助。
56．答案 the
解析 考查冠词。文中特指“第十六届自然英语竞赛”，用定冠词，所以填the。
57．答案 gained
解析 考查时态。由空前的was listed可知，此处应用一般过去时，所以填gained。
58．答案 to go
解析 考查非谓语动词。expect to do sth.期望做某事，所以填to go。
59．答案 But
解析 考查连词。由空前的“I had never thought”和空后的“I set out for”可知，前后句为转折关系，所以填But。
60．答案 teammates
解析 考查名词的用法。“one of＋可数名词复数”表示“……之一”，所以填teammates。
61．答案 powerful

63．答案 clearly
解析 考查词性转换。该空修饰动词express，用副词，所以填clearly。
64．答案 to
解析 考查固定短语。句意为：多亏了这次比赛和朋友的帮助，我现在在舞台上感到更加放松，说话也更加自信。thanks to幸亏。
65．答案 talking
解析 考查非谓语动词。此处是状语从句的省略。talk的逻辑主语是I，它们之间是主动关系，故用现在分词talking。

第二节 (满分25分)
阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。
It was a small town with nice landscapes that attracted a lot of rich people to live in.Ming was also attracted by the scenic spots of the town.But he had little money，so he rented a cheap house after he arrived.But what drew his attention most here was those wealthy people.So he took up a job to sell cell phones.But his cell phones were not good in quality.
One day，Ming’s pocket was empty again and wanted to earn money.Luckily，there was still a phone in his pocket to sell.Soon enough，he spotted a target—a seemingly wealthy middle-aged man in an old jacket.Ming came up to him and smiled politely，saying，“Hey，friend...” But the man was very cautious and asked，“What’s up？”
Ming said to him immediately，“Friend，I have a phone.I bought it at 5,000 yuan.But now I could sell it to you at only 3,000 yuan.” The man seemed uninterested in his phone and wanted to go away.Ming stopped him and said，“What about 2,000 yuan？” the man shouted at him，“What do you want to do with me？”
Ming immediately put up a poor face and hugged the man’s legs，crying to him，“Oh，my dear friend! Only 1,000 yuan，is it OK？” Ming began pouring out his “sad story” as he was crying.The man，after seeing this，felt a little bit moved and put his hands into his pocket.Then he took out 1,000 yuan to Ming and took the phone away.
After earning 1,000 yuan，Ming felt happy.As he felt hungry，he went to a small restaurant to have lunch.Ming ordered several dishes and handed over a note of 100 yuan to the cashier.The cashier stared at the banknote(钞票) for quite a while，as if checking if it was a fake note(假币)，and then said to Ming，“Sorry，I could not find the change for you for the moment.Please wait a minute.” Then he went away.Staying in the restaurant without anything to do，Ming sat at a table and started to watch TV.After all，his cheap-rented house had no TV.
Paragraph 1：
The TV was broadcasting a piece of news
Paragraph 2：
The police car stopped before the small restaurant and
参考范文
The TV was broadcasting a piece of news that a gang of criminals using fake notes had come to the town and reminded the citizens to be mindful about it.The TV station also called on the public to call the police if they had any clues.All of a sudden，he heard police siren and，out of fear，he was about to run away immediately.But after a while，he thought that the police was not to catch him，so he stayed in the restaurant and pretended to know nothing.
The police car stopped before the small restaurant and two policemen came out of the car and arrested Ming.Ming could hardly struggle.At this moment，the cashier showed up and said to the policemen，“Yes，it is he who uses fake notes！” Ming felt shocked，saying to himself，“The man cheated me of my phone with fake notes？”

B
In the kitchen of my mother’s houses there has always been a wooden stand(木架) with a small notepad(记事本) and a hole for a pencil.
I’m looking for paper on which to note down the name of a book I am recommending to my mother.Over forty years since my earliest memories of the kitchen pad and pencil，five houses later，the current paper and pencil look the same as they always did.Surely it can’t be the same pencil.The pad is more modern，but the wooden stand is definitely the original one.
“I’m just amazed you still have the same stand for holding the pad and pencil after all these years，” I say to her，walking back into the living room with a sheet of paper and the pencil.“You still use a pencil.Can’t you afford a pen？”
My mother replies a little sharply.“It works perfectly well.I’ve always kept the stand in the kitchen.I never knew when I might want to note down an idea，and I was always in the kitchen in those days.”
Immediately I can picture her，hair wild，blue housecoat covered in flour，a wooden spoon in one hand，the pencil in the other，her mouth moving silently.My mother smiles and says，“One day I was cooking and watching baby Pauline，and I had a brilliant thought，but the stand was empty.One of the children must have taken the paper.So I just picked up the breadboard and wrote it all down on the back.It turned out to be a real breakthrough for solving the mathematical problem I was working on.”
This story—which happened before I was born—reminds me how extraordinary my mother was，and is，as a gifted mathematician.I feel embarrassed that I complain about not having enough child-free time to work.Later，when my mother is in the bathroom，I go into her kitchen and turn over the breadboards.Sure enough，on the back of the smallest one，are some penciled marks I recognize as mathematics.Those symbols have traveled unaffected through fifty years，rooted in the soil of a cheap wooden breadboard，invisible(看不到的) exhibits at every meal.

There is some unwelcome news for students preparing for exams and officers putting in long hours—you don’t need that “refreshment(提神) break” as much as you may think.
Scientists believed it was not easy for people to continue their work if they felt the need to have a snack or a rest to make them feel better.They argued that the only way to regain willpower is by supplying more energy to our bodies with rest，food or entertainment.
But psychologists have challenged this theory，saying weak willpower is in your head.They found that a person’s mindset(理念) and belief about willpower determine how long and how well they’ll be able to work on a tough mental exercise.“If you think of willpower as something that’s limited，you’re more likely to be tired when you perform a difficult task，” said Professor Veronika Job.“But if you think of willpower as something that is not easily depleted，you can go on and on.”
The researchers led by Mr.Job designed an experiment to test the students’ beliefs about willpower.After a tiring task those who believed or were led to believe that willpower was a limited resource performed worse on standard concentration tests than those who thought of willpower as something they had more control over.
Mr.Job said，“Students who may already have trouble studying are being told that their powers of concentration are limited，and they need to take frequent breaks.But a belief in willpower as a non-limited resource makes people stronger in their ability to work through challenges.”
The findings could help people who are battling with temptation(诱惑)：people following strict diets and doing exercise regularly to lose weight，people trying to overcome addictions，employees facing a tight deadline.Willpower isn’t driven by a biologically based process as much as we used to think.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文，以前人们认为意志力的来源是有限的，关于意志力心理学家有了新的理论，认为意志力存在人脑中，对我们的行为能够产生很大的影响。
28．What opinion did scientists have in the past?
A．Willpower was a limited resource.
B．It was hard to regain willpower.
C．Hardworking people seldom took breaks.
D．People could easily feel tired when working.
答案 A
解析 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“They argued that the only way to regain willpower is by supplying more energy to our bodies with rest，food or entertainment.”可知，意志力是有限的资源。故A项正确。
29．Which of the following can replace the underlined word “depleted” in Paragraph 3?
A．Given up. B．Recovered.
C．Used up. D．Changed.
答案 C
解析 词义猜测题。根据画线词前的“If you think of willpower as something that’s limited，you’re more likely to be tired when you perform a difficult task”和画线句中的But可知，画线处意为：如果你认为意志力很难被耗尽，那么你就可以继续下去。而use up意为“用尽”，故C项正确。
30．What can we learn from the findings of the experiment?
A．Students benefit most from the research.
B．Frequent breaks are not good for learning.
C．Willpower can be regained after people have a good rest.
D．The belief in willpower can change a man’s behavior.
答案 D
解析 推理判断题。根据第三段的“They found that a person’s mindset(理念) and belief about willpower determine how long and how well they’ll be able to work on a tough mental exercise.”以及第四、五段的内容可知，研究人员发现意志力能够决定人们做一项艰难的任务的时间和结果。也就是说意志力能够影响人们的行为。故D项正确。
31．Why does the author write the text?
A．To explain the power of willpower.
B．To show us how to build willpower.
C．To tell us the ways of gaining willpower.
D．To introduce a new theory on willpower.
答案 D
解析 写作意图题。作者在第二段介绍了以前人们对意志力的看法，第三段第一句“But psychologists have challenged this theory，saying weak willpower is in your head.”告诉我们心理学家有了新的观点，下文主要介绍了关于意志力的新的发现。所以本文介绍了关于意志力的一种新的理论。故D项正确。
D

After dinner，you take your plates to a box next to the sink.You don’t have to clean them，your machine does.It produces new plates every time you need to eat.Later in the evening，you phone your other half，who is on a business trip halfway around the world.As you drink your cup of hot coffee，it makes your other half’s cup change color on the other side of the world，another special way to keep in touch.

Taking a vacation is a perfect way to help family members connected with one another，which is especially important when you consider the effects it has on children.
The following will help you learn how to choose the right vacation for bringing your family together.
Making the time
With summer filled with school work，there are fewer times available for families to take vacations together. 36 You can get kids excited by packing them up for a fun-filled weekend trip in winter or spring.
Choosing the location
The first step you’ll want to take is picking a place.There are plenty of choices，but one of the best choices is a place connected to the outdoors. 37 These kinds of activities give your family a sense of achievement.
Setting some goals
38 You should also think about how you want the connection with your family to develop.Vacations are a chance to open up to one another.Spending a few days in the mountains with only your family members can help bring meaningful conversations in a beautiful setting.
39
One thing you don’t want is your children not getting along well with each other.Often the best solution is to keep your schedule full and include different activities.Perhaps include your children’s opinions on what they want to do.
Family vacations can lead to a real turning point for family members providing a memorable experience that also makes everyone happier. 40
A．Keeping the kids happy
B．Planning some great activities
C．So，next time you plan your trip，plan accordingly.
D．But winter and spring provide their own opportunities.
E．There are plenty of activities that are fun for the whole family.
F．You can take a hike，watch wildlife，or camp outside with your kids.
G．Vacation shouldn’t just be about getting away from work or seeing sights.

38．答案 G
解析 根据设空后的“You should also think about how you want the connection with your family to develop.Vacations are a chance to open up to one another.”可知，G项(假期不应该只是为了逃离工作或观光)符合语境。故选G。
39．答案 A
解析 本空考查小标题。根据下文的“One thing you don’t want is your children not getting along well with each other.”和“Family vacations can lead to a real turning point for family members providing a memorable experience that also makes everyone happier.”可知，要让孩子们开心起来。故选A。
40．答案 C
解析 根据空前的“Family vacations can lead to a real turning point for family members providing a memorable experience that also makes everyone happier.”可知，下次你计划你们的旅行时，要相应地做计划。C项符合语境。

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。
It was a small town with nice landscapes that attracted a lot of rich people to live in.Ming was also attracted by the scenic spots of the town.But he had little money，so he rented a cheap house after he arrived.But what drew his attention most here was those wealthy people.So he took up a job to sell cell phones.But his cell phones were not good in quality.
One day，Ming’s pocket was empty again and wanted to earn money.Luckily，there was still a phone in his pocket to sell.Soon enough，he spotted a target—a seemingly wealthy middle-aged man in an old jacket.Ming came up to him and smiled politely，saying，“Hey，friend...” But the man was very cautious and asked，“What’s up？”
Ming said to him immediately，“Friend，I have a phone.I bought it at 5,000 yuan.But now I could sell it to you at only 3,000 yuan.” The man seemed uninterested in his phone and wanted to go away.Ming stopped him and said，“What about 2,000 yuan？” the man shouted at him，“What do you want to do with me？”
Ming immediately put up a poor face and hugged the man’s legs，crying to him，“Oh，my dear friend! Only 1,000 yuan，is it OK？” Ming began pouring out his “sad story” as he was crying.The man，after seeing this，felt a little bit moved and put his hands into his pocket.Then he took out 1,000 yuan to Ming and took the phone away.
After earning 1,000 yuan，Ming felt happy.As he felt hungry，he went to a small restaurant to have lunch.Ming ordered several dishes and handed over a note of 100 yuan to the cashier.The cashier stared at the banknote(钞票) for quite a while，as if checking if it was a fake note(假币)，and then said to Ming，“Sorry，I could not find the change for you for the moment.Please wait a minute.” Then he went away.Staying in the restaurant without anything to do，Ming sat at a table and started to watch TV.After all，his cheap-rented house had no TV.
Paragraph 1：
The TV was broadcasting a piece of news
Paragraph 2：
The police car stopped before the small restaurant and
参考范文
The TV was broadcasting a piece of news that a gang of criminals using fake notes had come to the town and reminded the citizens to be mindful about it.The TV station also called on the public to call the police if they had any clues.All of a sudden，he heard police siren and，out of fear，he was about to run away immediately.But after a while，he thought that the police was not to catch him，so he stayed in the restaurant and pretended to know nothing.
The police car stopped before the small restaurant and two policemen came out of the car and arrested Ming.Ming could hardly struggle.At this moment，the cashier showed up and said to the policemen，“Yes，it is he who uses fake notes！” Ming felt shocked，saying to himself，“The man cheated me of my phone with fake notes？”
