In the mid-1990s, Tm Bissell taught English as a vlunteer in Uzbekistan. He left after seven mnths, physically brken and having lst his mind. A few years later, still attracted t the cuntry, he returned t Uzbekistan t write an article abut the disappearance f the Aral Sea.
His visit, hwever, ended up invlving a lt mre than that. Hence this bk, Chasing the Sea: Lst Amng the Ghsts f Empire in Central Asia, which talks abut a rad trip frm Tashkent t Karakalpakstan, where millins f lives have been destryed by the slw drying up f the sea. It is the stry f an American travelling t a strange land, and f the peple he meets n his way: Rustam, his translatr, a lvely 24-year-ld wh picked up his clrful English in Califrnia, Oleg and Natasha, his hsts in Tashkent, and a string f freign aid wrkers.
This is a quick lk at life in Uzbekistan, made f friendliness and warmth, but als its darker side f sciety. In Samarkand, Mr Bissell admires the architectural wnders, while n his way t Bukhara he gets a taste f plice methds when suspected f drug dealing. In Ferghana, he attends a muntain funeral（葬礼）fllwed by a strange drinking party. And in Karakalpakstan, he is saddened by the dust strms, diseases and fishing bats stuck miles frm the sea.
Mr Bissell skillfully rganizes histrical insights and cultural references, making his tale a well-runded picture f Uzbekistan, seen frm Western eyes. His judgment and references are decidedly American, as well as his delicate stmach. As the authr explains, this is neither a travel nr a histry bk, r even a piece f reprtage. Whatever it is, the result is a fine and vivid descriptin f the purest f Central Asian traditins.

（3）Which f the fllwing best describes Mr Bissell's rad trip in Uzbekistan?
A.Rmantic.B.Eventful.C.Pleasant.D.Dangerus.

（4）What is the purpse f this text?
A.T intrduce a bk.
B.T explain a cultural phenmenn.
C.T remember a writer.
D.T recmmend a travel destinatin.

Accrding t a recent study in the Jurnal f Cnsumer Research, bth the size and cnsumptin habits f ur eating cmpanins can influence ur fd intake. And cntrary t existing research that says yu shuld avid eating with heavier peple wh rder large prtins (份), it's the beanples with big appetites yu really need t avid.
T test the effect f scial influence n eating habits, the researchers cnducted tw experiments. In the first, 95 undergraduate wmen were individually invited int a lab t stensibly (表面上) participate in a study abut mvie viewership. Befre the film began, each wman was asked t help herself t a snack. An actr hired by the researchers grabbed her fd first. In her natural state, the actr weighed 105 punds. But in half the cases she wre a specially designed fat suit which increased her weight t 180 punds.
Bth the fat and thin versins f the actr tk a large amunt f fd. The participants fllwed suit, taking mre fd than they nrmally wuld have. Hwever, they tk significantly mre when the actr was thin.
Fr the secnd test, in ne case the thin actr tk tw pieces f candy frm the snack bwls. In the ther case, she tk 30 pieces. The results were similar t the first test: the participants fllwed suit but tk significantly mre candy when the thin actr tk 30 pieces.
The tests shw that the scial envirnment is extremely influential when we're making decisins. If this fellw participant is ging t eat mre, s will I. Call it the "I'll have what she's having" effect. Hwever, we'll adjust the influence. If an verweight persn is having a large prtin, I'll hld back a bit because I see the results f his eating habits. But if a thin persn eats a lt, I'll fllw suit. If he can eat much and keep slim, why can't I?

（1）What is the recent study mainly abut?
A.Fd safety.B.Mvie viewership.
C.Cnsumer demand.D.Eating behavir.

（2）What des the underlined wrd "beanples" in paragraph 1 refer t?
A.Big eaters. B.Overweight persns.
C.Picky eaters. D.Tall thin persns.

（3）Why did the researchers hire the actr?
A.T see hw she wuld affect the participants.
B.T test if the participants culd recgnize her.
C.T find ut what she wuld d in the tw tests.
D.T study why she culd keep her weight dwn.

（4）On what basis d we "adjust the influence" accrding t the last paragraph?
A.Hw hungry we are.B.Hw slim we want t be.
C.Hw we perceive thers.D.Hw we feel abut the fd.

【解析】
本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了一本有关乌兹别克斯坦游记的书。
【解答】
（1）B 细节理解题。由第一段最后一句A few years later, still attracted t the cuntry, he returned t Uzbekistan…可知，几年之后，Bissell仍被乌兹别克斯坦所吸引着，所以他又回到了那里。所以答案选B。
（2）D 代词指代题。上文提到Bissell写了一篇关于咸海消失的文章，然后画线词所在句提到他的访问最终涉及到的事远不止这个，因而才有了Chasing the Sea: Lst Amng the Ghsts f Empire in Central Asia 这本书，由此可知，画线词that指的是“写有关咸海的文章”，意思是只写一篇文章已经远远不能包含他所见所闻的所有内容，所以又写了一本书。
（3）B 推理判断题。文章第三段后半部分介绍了Bissell在乌兹别克斯坦进行公路旅行时遇到的一些人，同时介绍了他遇到的一些事：被警察怀疑涉嫌贩毒，参加山顶葬礼和奇特的酒会，目睹沙尘暴、疾病与搁浅船只。一路旅行，他遇到很多愉快和不愉快的事件。由此可知，Bissell的公路之旅是丰富的、多事件的。
（4）A 目的意图题。文章第一段和第二段开头部分交代了Chasing the Sea: Lst Amng the Ghsts f Empire in Central Asia 这本书的创作背景；第二段后半部分和第三段介绍了书的具体内容，包括主题、人物和事件等；最后一段描述了作者的创作手法、写作技巧以及对书的评价。综合全文来看，本文的中心是围绕着一本书展开的，目的就是为了介绍这本书。

（2）D 词义猜测题。根据文章第一段And cntrary t existing research that says yu shuld avid eating with heavier peple wh rder large prtins (份), it's the beanples with big appetites yu really need t avid.现有的研究表明，你应该避免和吃得多的胖子一起吃饭，相反，你真正需要避免的是那些大胃口的________。又根据提示词cntrary t existing research可知，后面提到的内容恰好与前面相反，由此可推测，beanple词义与heavier peple相对，意为“瘦高个”。故选D。

【解析】
此题暂无解析
【解答】
（1）G 上文提到Sme individuals are brn with a gift fr public speaking.“有些人天生就有演讲的天赋。”而下文讲述的是如何成为优秀的演讲者，所以上下文之间为转折关系，所以G项“然而，大多数人之所以能成为有效的演讲者，则是由后天训练而成。”符合语境，承上启下。
（2）A 上文提到T ften, when yu stand up t give a speech, yu fcus n the "public" at the expense f the "speaking."“很多时候，当你演讲时，往往会把注意力放在‘公众’身上，而忽略了‘演讲’本身。”下文给出的建议是Fcus n the speaking.“要关注演讲本身。”与上文中的做法正相反，所以A项“反其道而行之。”符合语境，可作为过渡句。
（3）C 结合本段Even the mst successful public speaker will make mistakes.和后文内容可知，本段针对演讲中犯了错误给出了建议。结合设空前一句S, dn't stp speaking when yu make a mistake unless it's a truly serius ne.“所以，当你犯了错误时不要停止说话，除非是非常严重的错误。”所以C项“你不需要为一个小失误道歉。”符合语境，承接上文。
（4）B 上文提到Yur gal is nt t be a perfect public speaker.“你的目标不是成为一个完美的演讲者。”结合下文And like everything else in life, that takes practice. Remember, even wrld champin athletes practice their skills n a cnsistent basis.“就像生活中的其他事情一样，这需要练习。记住，即使是世界冠军运动员也要始终如一地练习他们的技能。”可知这里说明应该成为什么样的演讲者，B项“你要成为一个有效的演讲者。”符合语境。
（5）D 结合下文的描述It's rare t hear smene say, "I wish that speaker had spken lnger." On the ther hand, yu prbably can't cunt the times that yu've thught, "I'm glad that talk is ver. It seemed t g n frever!" S surprise yur audience. Always make yur presentatin just a bit shrter than anticipated.“很少有人会说：‘我希望演讲者能讲得更久一些。’另一方面，你可能数不清自己有多少次想过：‘我很高兴谈话结束了。好像没完没了！’所以，给你的观众一个惊喜。总是让你的演示比预期的要短一点。”可知设空处是本段主题句，主题是关于“在演讲时，内容不要太长”相关的内容，所以D项“公开演讲时，通常少即是多。”符合语境。

四、语法填空
【答案】
（1）wealthy,（2）r,（3）frmed,（4）which/that,（5）are called,（6）is,（7）themselves,（8）walking,（9）accuracy,（10）fr
【考点】
说明文语法填空
【解析】
此题暂无解析
【解答】
（1）wealthy 考查形容词。此处应用形容词作定语修饰名词peple，wealth是名词，意为财富，此处应使用其形容词形式wealthy，富有的。故填wealthy。
（2）r 考查连词。句意为：他们把藏品留在家里，直到这些藏品变得太多或者他们去世，然后才会将其捐赠给博物馆。此处until it gt t big和until they died是两个并列成分，表示选择关系，故用连词r。故填r。
（3）frmed 考查一般过去时。分析句子成分可知，此句缺少谓语动词。由上文的In the 18th and 19th centuries和本句句尾的时间状语in 1759可知，事件发生在过去，故谓语动词frm应用其过去式形式。故填frmed。
（4）which/that 考查关系代词。分析句子结构可知，此句为含有定语从句的复合句。先行词为the British Museum，指物，且引导词在从句中作主语，故填which/that。
（5）are called 考查一般现在时的被动语态。本句主语The parts f a museum与动词call为被动关系，故用其被动语态。本段讲述的是有关博物馆的客观事实，又根据后面的is可知应用一般现在时，主语The parts f a museum为复数形式，故填are called。
（6）is 考查主谓一致。“a part f+名词”作主语时，谓语动词通常与f后名词的数保持一致。本句中a small part f后的名词为a museum's cllectin，为单数可数名词，故填is。
（7）themselves 考查反身代词。句意：想象他们自己生活在一个不同的历史时期。imagine sb ding sth意为“想象某人做某事”，设空处代指上文中的visitrs，在此处表示“他们自己”，故填themselves。
（8）walking 考查动名词。在“imagine sb ding sth”结构中，设空处与前文中的living是并列关系，形式应保持一致，故用所给词的动名词形式，故填walking。
（9）accuracy 考查名词。设空处前有形容词Histrical修饰，且在句子中作主语，应填accurate的名词形式。结合句意可知，此处表示“准确性”，为不可数名词，故填accuracy。
（10）fr 考查介词。句意为：博物馆必须与其他娱乐活动争夺人们的业余时间和金钱。cmpete 是固定搭配，意为“与……争夺……”。故填fr。
