I never met Aunt Helen until the day when Mother sent me over to visit her with some chicken soup. I ___1___ (learn) that she had slipped on the stairs and hurt her ankle badly.

I had never realized that an old woman could be “beautiful”.
【答案】1. learned/learnt
2. at/on 3. who/that
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了有一天妈妈带作者去看望海伦阿姨，并描述了作者见到海伦阿姨时的感受。
【1题详解】
考查动词的时态。句意：我听说她在楼梯上滑了一跤，脚踝受了重伤。根据上文中的met可知时态是一般过去时；且此句主语是I，that she had slipped on the stairs and hurt her ankle badly是宾语从句，可知此处缺少谓语，learn的过去式是learned或learnt。故填learned/learnt。
【2题详解】
考查介词。句意：我一敲门，门就开了。敲门为“knock at/on”为固定短语。故填at/on。
【3题详解】
考查定语从句的关系词。句意：站在我前面的是一位老太太，她看上去是如此整洁又优雅，以至于我感到很惊讶。分析句子成分可知，此处是一个定语从句，先行词是an old lady，指人，在定语从句中作主语，因此关系词要用who/that。故填who/that。
【点睛】第1小题考查了一般过去时的用法。一般过去时肯定句的基本结构：“主语+动词过去式+其他”或者“主语+was/were+其他”。一般过去时表示过去某个时间发生的动作或存在的状态，也可表示过去经常或反复发生的动作。常和表示过去的时间状语连用，如yesterday, last week, last night, in 2003, two days ago等。
I got up at 6:30 yesterday. 我昨天6:30起床。
My father was very busy last week. 我父亲上周很忙。
B

We can start with a daily schedule of the things we need to finish. If we begin to follow our own schedule for each day, we will stop delaying, becoming highly efficient and well-organized. Life will become far less difficult and each day will be ___5___ (easy) to face. We will certainly feel much better too, because we will know that we can overcome our weakness and improve ___6___ (we).
【答案】4. what
5. easier 6. ourselves
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了摆脱拖延习惯的一个方法是逐渐改变我们正在做的事情，可以从我们需要完成的事情的日常安排开始。这样我们可以克服自己的弱点，提高自己。
【4题详解】
考查宾语从句的连接词。句意：摆脱它的一种方法是逐渐改变我们正在做的事情。根据is to change可知此处是一个宾语从句，从句缺少引导词，由we are doing可知此处要用what，表示“什么”，且what在从句中作are doing的宾语。故填what。
【5题详解】
考查形容词的比较级。句意：生活会变得简单得多，每天都更容易面对。根据Life will become far less difficult可知此处要用形容词的比较级作will be的表语。故填easier。
【6题详解】
考查反身代词。句意：我们也一定会感觉好多了，因为我们知道我们可以克服自己的弱点，提高自己。根据improve可知此处要接宾语，由主语we可知此处要用反身代词ourselves。主语与宾语为同一个人或者事物时，宾语用反身代词。故填ourselves。
C
阅读下列短文，根据短文内容填空。在未给提示词的空白处仅填写1个适当的单词，在给出提示词的空白处用括号内所给词的正确形式填空。
Mount Tai is one of China’s most famous ___7___ (mountain) because it is a perfect combination of culture and natural landscapes. ___8___ (locate) in central Shandong Province, Mount Tai ___9___ (rise) 1,545 meters above sea level. Its highest peak (山峰) Yuhuangding stands over deep valleys and above other peaks. A seemingly endless flight of stone steps leads you to the Heavenly Southern Date where you look around in the distance, ____10____ (enjoy) the wonderful views of beauty beyond beauty and scenery beyond scenery.
【答案】7. mountains
8. Located 9. rises
10. enjoying
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了泰山的相关信息。
【7题详解】
考查名词的复数。句意：泰山是中国最著名的山脉之一，因为它是文化和自然景观的完美结合。根据one of China’s most famous可知此处要用名词的复数形式，mountain是可数名词。故填mountains。
【8题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：泰山位于山东省中部，海拔1545米。固定短语be located in，表示“坐落于”，其逻辑主语是Mount Tai，因此用过去分词形式做状语。故填Located。
【9题详解】
考查动词的时态。句意：泰山位于山东省中部，海拔1545米。根据1,545 meters above sea level可知时态是一般现在时，且主语是Mount Tai，因此此处动词要用第三人称单数形式。故填rises。
【10题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：一段看似无穷无尽的石阶将你引向 Heavenly Southern Date，在那里你可以远眺四周，享受美景之外的美丽景色。根据A seemingly endless flight of stone steps leads you to the Heavenly Southern Date可知此处要用非谓语动词，且由enjoy的逻辑主语是you，它们之间为主动关系，所以此处要用现在分词作状语。故填enjoying。
【点睛】第3小题考查了一般现在时的用法。一般现在时的用法：
1.表示事物或人物的特征、状态。如：The sky is blue. 天空是蓝色的。
2.表示经常性或习惯性的动作。如：I get up at six every day. 我每天六点起床。
3.表示客观现实。如：The earth goes around the sun. 地球绕着太阳转。
一般现在时的结构：
1.be动词：主语+be（am，is，are）其它。如：I am a boy. 我是一个男孩。
2.行为动词：主语+行为动词（+其它）。如：We study English. 我们学习英语。
当主语为第三人称单数（he，she，it）时，要在动词后加-s或-es。如：
Mary likes Chinese. 玛丽喜欢汉语。

Cory Nichols’ whole life changed after he watched the documentary (纪录片) Hard Times: Lost on Long Island. This documentary follows four different families over six months as they struggle with unemployment. Cory knew he had to help any way that he could.
He founded an organization named “C the Difference”. The first step of his charity was to advertise. Using his own money, Cory had orange bracelets (手链) made. Now, he has sold the bracelets. A lot of people who are willing to donate bought them. “We’ve gotten donations from $5 to $500,” Cory said. “Every dollar really helps.”
Since founding the organization “C the Difference”, Cory has gotten the word out through e-mail and social media. He has managed to get upwards of $7,500, and the amount will keep rising each month. For Cory, his work is truly rewarding, and he loves knowing that people less fortunate than him are really benefiting from all the donations. Once he said, “I was in the pantry (食品室) one time when a woman was taking food, and she was grateful for what I was doing. That made me feel great.”
Cory’s work has been truly remarkable. These past years he was recognized for “C the Difference” and was a recipient (获得者) of the New York State Prudential Spirit of Community Award. Cory was honored when he found out the news, and even more shocked when he found out that he was one of only 102 winners out of the 28,000 applicants. As a recipient, Cory got to travel to Washington D.C. with the other winners.
There are bright things in Cory’s future. First, he wants to keep doing well in school. “I think school is really important to be successful in life.” In addition, Cory wants to keep “C the Difference” going through high school. “I am continuing to get donations, and to get younger kids and my peers involved to help each month.”
34. After watching the documentary, Cory ________.
A. set up a charity organization B. found a job in Long Island
C. donated money immediately D. felt the documentary interesting
35. Cory tried to raise enough money by ________.
A. wearing a ring and a bracelet B. phoning to his friends

36. Cory felt ________ after he knew he was given an award.
A. embarrassed and surprised
B. interested and delighted
C. honored and shocked
D. ashamed and frightened
37. We can infer from the passage that Cory will ________.
A. travel in Long Island alone B. stop raising money
C. study in Washington D. go on his charity
【答案】34. A 35. C 36. C 37. D
【解析】
这是一篇新闻报道。文章介绍了Cory Nichols创建了一个名为C the Difference的慈善组织，Cory通过电子邮件和社交媒体传播该组织，筹集捐款，让那些不幸运的人真的从所有的捐赠中受益。他出色的工作获得了社区的认可。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中Cory Nichols’ whole life changed after he watched the documentary (纪录片) Hard Times: Lost on Long Island. Cory Nichols的整个生活在他观看了纪录片《艰难时刻：迷失长岛》之后发生了改变；以及第二段中He founded an organization named “C the Difference”. The first step of his charity was to advertise.他成立了一个名为C the Difference的组织。他慈善事业的第一步是做广告。可知，看完纪录片后，Cory成立了一个慈善组织。故选A项。
【35题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中Since founding the organization “C the Difference”, Cory has gotten the word out through e-mail and social media.He has managed to get upwards of $7,500, and the amount will keep rising each month. 自成立C the Difference组织以来，Cory通过电子邮件和社交媒体传播了这个词。他已经筹集了7500多美元，而且这个数额将继续每月增加可知，Cory试图通过传播这个词来筹集足够的资金。故选C项。
【36题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中Cory was honored when he found out the news, and even more shocked when he found out that he was one of only 102 winners out of the 28,000 applicants. Cory得知这个消息后感到很荣幸，但更令他震惊的是，在28000名申请者中，他是仅有的102名获奖者之一。可知，得知自己获奖后，Cory感到既荣幸又震惊。故选C项。
【37题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中In addition, Cory wants to keep “C the Difference” going through high school. “I am continuing to get donations, and to get younger kids and my peers involved to help each month.” 此外，Cory还想让C the Difference贯穿整个高中。“我还在继续接受捐款，每个月都让更小的孩子和我的同龄人参与帮忙。”可知，我们可以从文章中推断Cory将继续他的慈善事业。故选D项。
C
Languages have been coming and going for thousands of years, but in recent time there has been less coming and a lot more going. When the world was still populated by hunter-gatherers, small, tightly knit (联系) groups developed their own patterns of speech independent of each other. Some language experts believe that 10,000 years ago, when the world had just five to ten million people, they spoke perhaps 12,000 languages between them.
Soon afterwards, many of those people started settling down to become farmers, and their languages too became more settled and fewer in number. In recent centuries, trade, industrialization, the development of the nation-state and the spread of universal compulsory education, especially globalization and better communications in the past few decades, all have caused many languages to disappear, and dominant (占优势的) languages such as English, Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking over.
At present, the world has about 6,800 languages. The distribution of these languages is hugely uneven. The general rule is that mild zones have relatively few languages, often spoken by many people while hot, wet zones have lots, often spoken by small numbers. Europe has only around 200 languages; the America about 1,000; Africa 2,400; and Asia and the Pacific perhaps 3,200, of which Papua New Cuinea alone accounts for well over 800. The median number (中位数) of speakers is a mere 6,000, which means that half the world’s languages are spoken by fewer people than that.
Already well over 400 of the total of 6,800 languages are close to extinction (消亡), with only a few elderly speakers left. Pick, at random, Busuu in Cameroon (8 remaining speakers), Chiapaneco in Mexico (150), Lipan Apache in the United States (2 or 3) or Wadjigu in Australia (1, with a question-mark); none of these seems to have much chance of survival.
38. What can we learn about language development from the passage?
A. Globalization has brought about more new languages.
B. Settling down makes people develop more kinds of languages.
C. Education is one of the reasons for some languages’ disappearance.
D. Around 1,000 languages only have a few elderly speakers left.
39. What does he underlined word “ uneven” in Paragraph 3 probably means
A. Not equal. B. Not narrow.
C. Not limited. D. Not good.

【38题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中In recent centuries, trade, industrialization, the development of the nation-state and the spread of universal compulsory education, especially globalization and better communications in the past few decades, all have caused many languages to disappear, and dominant (占优势的) languages such as English, Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking over. 近几个世纪以来，贸易、工业化、民族国家的发展和义务教育的普及，尤其是全球化和过去几十年更好的交流，都导致许多语言消失，占优势的语言如英语、西班牙语和汉语正在日益取代它们。可知，教育是一些语言消失的原因之一。故选C项。
【39题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第三段中The distribution of these languages is hugely uneven. The general rule is that mild zones have relatively few languages, often spoken by many people while hot, wet zones have lots, often spoken by small numbers. 这些语言分布极其________。一般的规律是，温和地区的语言相对较少，通常由许多人使用；而炎热、潮湿地区的语言较多，通常由少数人使用。由对比温和地区和炎热、潮湿地区的语言数目，可知，语言分布是不平衡的，因此猜测划线词uneven意为“不平衡的”。故选A项。
【40题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中At present, the world has about 6,800 languages. … The median number (中位数) of speakers is a mere 6,000, which means that half the world’s languages are spoken by fewer people than that. 目前，世界上大约有6800种语言。……平均使用人数只有6000人，这意味着世界上有一半的语言使用人数比这还要少。可知，目前大约有3400种语言的使用者少于6000人。故选C项。
【41题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段中Languages have been coming and going for thousands of years, but in recent time there has been less coming and a lot more going. 语言的产生和消失已经有几千年的历史了，但在最近的时间里，出现的语言越来越少，消失的语言却越来越多；以及第二段中In recent centuries, trade, industrialization, the development of the nation-state and the spread of universal compulsory education, especially globalization and better communications in the past few decades, all have caused many languages to disappear, and dominant (占优势的) languages such as English, Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking over. 近几个世纪以来，贸易、工业化、民族国家的发展和义务教育的普及，尤其是全球化和过去几十年更好的交流，都导致许多语言消失，占优势的语言如英语、西班牙语和汉语正在日益取代他们。可知，本文主要介绍并分析了语言减少甚至灭绝的现象和原因，因此选项D“全球化事件导致语言更少”符合题意。故选D项。

You can take fish oil supplements (补充剂). You can invest in a language class, books, or a few hours of exercise every week. There are countless methods to improve your memory. But the cheapest, easiest, and most time-tested way to make your brain think is—reading. There’s something astonishing about how such an ordinary activity can improve your brain in so many ways.
The most basic impact occurs in the area associated with language reception in your brain. Processing written material—from the letters to the words to the sentences to the stories themselves—get the neurons (神经元) to attention as they start the work of transporting all that information. “Typically, when you read, you have more time to think.” says Maryanne Wolf, director of the UCLA Center for Diverse Learners. “Reading gives you a unique pause button for comprehension and insight. By and large, with oral language—when you watch a film or listen to a tape—you don’t press pause.”
And the benefits of reading continue long after you’ve put down that great book. A small study at Emory University found that some of those benefits lasted for five days. “We call that a shadow activity, almost like a muscle memory,” says Gregory Berns, PhD, director of the Center for Neuron Policy at Emory.
OK, you say, it’s hardly surprising that the language part of the brain would get a workout from reading. But reading also makes the region responsible for motor activity—the central sulcus (中央沟)—energetic. That’s because the brain is a play actor. You may not actually be riding a horse when you’re reading Seabiscuit, but your brain acts as if it is. And the more parts of your brain that get a workout, the better it is for your overall cognitive (认知的) performance. Generally speaking, close literary reading, like a Jane Austen novel, in particular gives your brain a major workout, as opposed to the more limited effects that come from more leisurely reading.
What if you are a poor, or even a dyslexic reader who feels as if you’ll never be able to read enough to gain these benefits? The study shows the ability to read closely is something that needs to be developed. In her new book, Reader, Come Home, Wolf notes that even she, who reads for a living, has found her ability to concentrate on the written word weakening as more of what we read is on a screen. That sets up a negative cycle: Without the continuing exercise of our reading “muscles”, the brain loses its ability to control the complex processes that allow us to read deeply.
Of course, there’s an easy solution: Turn off your phone and your computer, set aside a good hour or two — and just read.
42. Which is NOT TRUE about readings?
A. Reading and speaking can equally make our brain sharp.
B. The benefits of reading don’t disappear immediately.
C. Reading classics can exercise our brain more than daily newspapers.
D. We should avoid too much reading on our mobile phones.
43. The book Seabiscuit in Paragraph 4 is probably about ________.
A. how our brain works in reading B. the life story of Jane Austen
C. how to exercise and keep fit D. the story of a champion racing horse
44. What does the underlined word “dyslexic” in Paragraph 5 probably means?
A. Active B. Enthusiastic
C. Difficult D. Careful
45. The passage is written to ________.
A. show how to improve your reading comprehension
B. assess the results of keeping long—time reading
C. analyze the function of different parts of our brain
D. explain the benefits of reading on our brain
【答案】42. A 43. D 44. C 45. D
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了阅读能改善你大脑的记忆力。建议读者关掉你的手机和电脑，留出一两个小时好好读书。
【42题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中There are countless methods to improve your memory. But the cheapest, easiest, and most time-tested way to make your brain think is—reading. 有无数的方法可以提高你的记忆力。但是让你的大脑思考的最便宜、最简单、最久经考验的方法就是阅读。可知，阅读是让你的大脑思考的最便宜、最简单、最久经考验的方法，因此选项A“阅读和说话同样可以使我们的大脑敏锐。”是错误的。故选A项。
【43题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中You may not actually be riding a horse when you’re reading Seabiscuit, but your brain acts as if it is. 当你在阅读《奔腾年代》的时候，你可能并没有真的在骑马，但是你的大脑却表现得好像真的在骑马一样。可知，《奔腾年代》可能是关于冠军赛马的故事。故选D项。
【44题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第五段中What if you are a poor, or even a dyslexic reader who feels as if you’ll never be able to read enough to gain these benefits? The study shows the ability to read closely is something that needs to be developed. 如果你是一个低于正常水平的，甚至是一个________读者，觉得你永远无法读到足够多的东西来获得这些好处？这项研究表明，仔细阅读的能力是需要培养的。因此猜测划线词意为“有阅读困难的”，故选C项。
【45题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中There are countless methods to improve your memory. But the cheapest, easiest, and most time-tested way to make your brain think is—reading. 有无数的方法可以提高你的记忆力。但是让你的大脑思考的最便宜、最简单、最久经考验的方法就是阅读；以及第四段中And the more parts of your brain that get a workout, the better it is for your overall cognitive (认知的) performance.你大脑中锻炼的部分越多，你的整体认知表现就越好。再通读全文，可知本文主要讲述了阅读能改善你大脑的记忆力，因此这篇文章是为了说明阅读对我们大脑的好处。故选D项。
第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
We’ve all heard that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and that may actually be true. A study of more than 50,000 adults aged 30 and older found that breakfast eaters were more likely to lose weight than those who didn’t eat a morning meal. To have a satisfying and nutritious breakfast, these tips will help you really rise and shine:
Eat even if you’re not hungry.
Although you might not feel like eating first thing in the morning, it’s a good idea to get something into your system. Eating within 90 minutes of waking up will jump- start your body and keep you from getting hungry later. ___46___
Go boring.
Varying what you eat is a good idea in theory. ___47___A 2014 British study found that people who allowed their breakfast calories to rise and fall (as measured by a five-day diet diary) had larger waists than folks who kept their morning calorie intake constant, no matter how much they ate the rest of the day.
Go big.
There’s an old saying that advises “Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dinner like a beggar.” It’s worth following. According to a study of 93 overweight women, those who ate a balanced 700-calorie breakfast over a 12-week period lowered their blood sugar and blood pressure two times more than people who ate a 200-calorie meal. ___48___
Always pick a protein.
A review of recent studies in the health journal Advances in Nutrition found the function of protein. ___49___Shapiro recommends eggs, nut butter, or cheese (which is generally a little lower in sugar than yogurt) to give your breakfast a protein boost.
Embrace fat.
Actually, fat isn’t the main enemy to weight loss success—sugar is. Fat is digested slowly by the body and helps decrease the rate at which we digest and break down carbohydrates (碳水化合物). ___50___So you need some fat (at least 1 to 2 percent) to help your body absorb those nutrients more efficiently.
A. It can also dissolve and break down vitamins A and D.
B. Just a banana will do the trick.
C. A variety of foods are mouth-watering and full of nutrition.
D. The breakfast needs to be high in protein.
E. But you’d better stick with the same old menu for your weight.
F. They also lost an average of 19.2 pounds.
G. High level of it in breakfast can reduce hunger later in the day.
【答案】46. B 47. E 48. F 49. G 50. A
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇说明文。研究发现，吃早餐的人比不吃早餐的人更容易减肥，因此文章提出了一些小贴士让你拥有一顿令人满意且营养丰富的早餐。
【46题详解】
根据上一句Eating within 90 minutes of waking up will jump- start your body and keep you from getting hungry later. 起床后90分钟内吃东西会让你的身体开始运转，让你以后不会感到饥饿。可知，此处内容与起床后吃点东西有关，选项B“只要一根香蕉就行了。”符合语境。故选B。
【47题详解】
根据上一句Varying what you eat is a good idea in theory.理论上来说，改变饮食习惯是个好主意。以及下一句A 2014 British study found that people who allowed their breakfast calories to rise and fall (as measured by a five-day diet diary) had larger waists than folks who kept their morning calorie intake constant, no matter how much they ate the rest of the day.2014年英国的一项研究发现，早餐摄入的卡路里量起起伏伏(通过五天的饮食日记来衡量)的人比那些早上摄入卡路里量恒定的人腰围更大，不管他们在一天剩下的时间里吃了多少。可知，此处内容与按照体重标准吃东西有关，选项E“但是你最好还是按照以前的体重标准来吃。”与上文为转折关系且承接下文。故选E。
【48题详解】
根据上一句According to a study of 93 overweight women, those who ate a balanced 700-calorie breakfast over a 12-week period lowered their blood sugar and blood pressure two times more than people who ate a 200-calorie meal. 根据一项对93名超重女性的研究，那些在12周内吃了700卡路里均衡早餐的人，其血糖和血压的降低程度是吃了200卡路里早餐的人的两倍。可知，此处内容与吃均衡早餐带来的好处有关，选项F中的代词They指的是上文的those who ate a balanced 700-calorie breakfast over a 12-week period，因此选项F“他们的体重也平均下降了19.2磅。”符合语境。故选F。
【49题详解】
根据上一句A review of recent studies in the health journal Advances in Nutrition found the function of protein. 健康杂志《营养进展》最近的一篇研究综述发现了蛋白质的功能。可知，此处内容与蛋白质的功能有关，选项G“早餐中高水平的蛋白质可以减少一天中晚些时候的饥饿感。”符合语境。故选G。
【50题详解】
根据上一句Fat is digested slowly by the body and helps decrease the rate at which we digest and break down carbohydrates (碳水化合物).脂肪被身体慢慢消化，有助于降低我们消化和分解碳水化合物的速度。可知，此处内容与脂肪的作用有关，选项A中的代词It指的是上文的Fat，因此选项A“它还可以溶解和分解维生素A和D。”符合语境。故选A。
【点睛】七选五的解题技巧之一是根据上下文词汇来锁定线索。即：要关注空白前后的名词和动词，然后在选项中查找它们的近义词、反义词、同义词、同类词等。其次是一些专有名词，比如说数词、代词、时间、年代、地点/名称等。在本文中，第3小题中选项F中的代词They指的是上文的those who ate a balanced 700-calorie breakfast over a 12-week period，第5小题中选项A中的代词It指的是上文的Fat，因此能选出答案。

I’m glad that you’re concerned with the air quality in Beijing and I’m eager to tell you some details.
It’s obvious that the air quality in Beijing is getting better and better due to our concerted efforts. On the one hand, more and more Chinese are willing to take public transportations instead of private cars, which can reduce the burning of fuels. On the other hand, our government has taken effective measures to control air pollution such as banning smoking and punishing illegal factories.
To my delight, our efforts count. I really appreciate the cleaner air nowadays and I’m confident about a brighter future of air quality in Beijing.
