听第10段材料,回答第17至20题。
Technology companies usually focus their benefits on making people stay in the office longer:ping-pong tables,game rooms,on-site training rooms;some even offer laundry services.We,ABC Company,don’t do any of these.Instead,we focus on benefits that get people out of the office as much as possible.We designed our benefits system to reflect that.Here are some of the benefits we offer to get people away from the computer.
Vacation:For the last three years in a row,we’ve worked with a professional travel agent to prepare different travel packages that employees could pick from as a holiday gift.Everything is paid for and included.Specific,pre-arranged trips—whether for a family to go to Disneyland or a couple to tour Spain or singles to go to Lijiang,China—have helped make sure people actually take their vacations.
4-day Summer Weeks:From May through October,everyone who’s been with the company for more than a year gets to work just four days in a week.This started out as “Friday’s off”,but roles like customer support and operations need to cover all hours.
To come up with the best ideas,you need a fresh mind.These travel and me-off benefits help everyone stay sharp.
17.Why does ABC Company offer the benefits to its employees?
A.To keep them staying longer in the office.
B.To encourage them to work overtime.
C.To help them to get away from the computer.
答案C
18.How many benefits does ABC Company offer to its employees?
A.Two.

C.Four.
答案A
19.Where can the employees spend their holidays with their families for free?

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Dangerous as they are,extreme sports remain appealing among many Australian young people!Camp Xtreme is the perfect test of your heart.
KiteSurfing
It’s the exciting mixture of kite,board and waves.The idea of using a kite to accelerate speed seems like a new challenge:Yet the art of kite flying dates back to the 13th-century China when it was used as a simple means of transport.
Catch a wind and you’re moving up,down and across the surf.“It’s always exciting.You’d jump 5 feet or 35 feet.You never know if you’re going to go up in the air,and your heart is just going boom,boom,boom.”
Coasteering
It is by far the best activity and the event that everyone is still talking about.This is exploring the coastline without worrying about a coastal path or finding a rocky bay blocking your route.You climb,dive and swim from one place to another.With coasteering,you don’t have to be able to swim as the wet suit and buoyancy(浮力)aid will keep you floating when you are in the water.
SkyDiving
Traditional parachuting(跳伞)doesn’t sound risky enough.So now sky diving is the name for jumping from a plane and listening to your heart beating heavily as you move fast towards earth before you open your parachute at the last moment.
MountainBiking
It’s been around so long that bikers are no longer satisfied with just going up and down a mountain.Mountain biking is a sport which consists of riding bicycles off-road,often over rough land,using specially adapted mountain bikes.Mountain bikes share similarities with other bikes,but include features designed to improve strength and performance in rough areas.

In 2007,Jamie Whitmore was considered one of the most successful athletes in America.She was a six-time USA champion for XTERRA racing,a two-time European tour champion,and held a world title.
Everything changed during a triathlon that seemed like so many others she had conquered.As a professional athlete,Jamie Whitmore was used to suffering,but she never imagined the pain in her leg could be a deadly cancer.
After a friend recommended she go to the University of California,San Francisco,Whitmore took his advice and was quickly admitted.What doctors found during surgery shocked them all: Whitmore had spindle cell sarcoma,a soft tissue tumor that can start in the bone,and the tumor was wrapped around her sciatic nerve and touching several vital organs.They couldn’t cut it out for fear of bursting the tumor.
When she heard the diagnosis for the first time,Whitmore said time stood still.“I couldn’t breathe.They were talking about treatment and I just started crying and saying ‘I don’t want to die.’” Finally,the doctors enlisted the help of several specialists to remove the tumor.Whitmore developed sepsis(败血症) from the surgery and endured a grueling two-month recovery.When she began to feel sick again,Whitmore was certain her cancer was back.Instead,doctors gave her unexpected news: She was pregnant—with twins.“That was a whole other freak-out,” Whitmore recalls.
Jamie Whitmore isn’t used to slowing down.She has never met a challenge she couldn’t overcome,whether it was an XTERRA mountain bike race—or cancer.Today,Whitmore is a mother of two sons and cancer-free.She’s competing again,and has won a gold medal in the Paralympics,nine world titles,and has set two world records.She travels as a motivational speaker when she’s not spending time with her sons.Whitmore has some words of advice for others with limitations: “Never let anyone tell you what you can and cannot do.Some doctors told me I would never ride anything more than a stationary bike.And yet I rode my mountain bike 104 miles climbing from 9,000 feet to 14,000 feet.People with two good legs have fallen short of that task!You just can’t give up.”

A balanced diet comprising of diverse and healthy foods is the key to promoting good health.After all,we are what we eat—research continues to prove that eating healthy food promotes good health and unhealthy food habits lead to a diseased body.Foods contain vital nutrients that aid our body’s metabolic function.However,a lack of consumption of these nutrients or feeding upon the wrong kinds of food leads to an accumulation of toxins within the body,resulting in chronic (慢性的)diseases in the long run.
A nutritious diet while ensuring overall well being,helps to maintain a healthy Body Mass Index (BMI),reduces the risk of several debilitating diseases like cancer,cardiovascular ailments,diabetes,osteoporosis and stroke.Thus a nutritious and healthy diet is important in the prevention and cure of various diseases.
There are several health conditions that can be caused or aggravated (加重)by the food we eat.However,there are also several foods that you can include in your diet to help prevent or treat diseases.It is simplest to draw up a balanced diet chart as this will ensure that you get all the nutrients you require on a regular basis.A nutrition diet chart is a diet chart that helps you to keep a track of your nutritional diet requirements and is a very useful tool when drawing up a personalized diet plan.
However,it must be noted that allopathic medicine treats the symptoms rather than the root cause of the disease,which is usually caused by wrong eating habits leading to an accumulation of toxins within the system.Whereas a nutritious healthy diet can rectify underlying causes of diseases and restore one to wholeness of mind and body.Once we realize the connection between a wholesome balanced diet and good health,our food will be our medicine and maintaining good health will be a matter of making the right food choices and leading a healthy lifestyle.

William Ⅰ,who conquered England some 950 years ago,had wealth,power and an army.Yet although William was very rich by the standard of his time,he had nothing like a flush toilet (抽水马桶),paper towels,or a riding lawn mower (割草机).How did he get by?
History books are filled with wealthy people who were poor compared to me.I have storm windows,Croesus did not.Entire nations trembled before Alexander the Great,but he couldn’t buy cat food.Czar Nicholas lacked an electric saw(锯).
Given how much better off I am than so many famous dead people,you’d think I’d be content.The trouble is that,like most people,I compare my wealth with that of living persons:neighbors,school classmates,and famous TV people.The greed I feel toward my friend Howard’s new kitchen is not reduced by the fact that no kings ever had a refrigerator with glass doors.
There is really no rising or falling standard of living.Over the centuries people simply find different things to feel sad about.You’d think that simply not having disease would put us in a good mood,but no,we want a hot bath too.
Of course,one way to achieve happiness would be to realize that even by today’s standards the things I own are pretty nice.My house is smaller than the houses of many investment bankers,but even so it has a lot more rooms that my wife and I can keep clean.
Besides,to people looking back at our era from a century or two in the future,these bankers’ fancy counter tops and my own worn Formica will seem equally shabby.I can’t keep up with my neighbors right now.But just wait.

38 .It’s suggested that 150 minutes per week of moderate intensity exercise like swimming,and 75 minutes per week of intense exercise,like jogging,should be the minimum amount of exercise needed to achieve maximum medical benefits.Often the best way to increase your exercise is to incorporate (融合)movement into your everyday life.On average,urban citizens who work by walk,bike or public transportation are fitter than suburban citizens who drive to work.Besides,taking the stairs instead of the elevator also helps. 39 .
Whether you resolve to work out at your local gym three times a week,take 10,000 steps a day or give your dog an extra walk every day.What matters most was not your commitment to exercise but your sticking to it. 40 .
A.While they have good intentions
B.Although behavior change is tough
C.However hard they try to make a change
D.There is always one type of exercise that you are fond of
E.So commit to something you love and keep to your fitness habit

答案与解析
【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明人类活动导致许多动物在夜间保持清醒,旨在避开人类。
56.to avoid 考查非谓语动词。根据句意可知,此处用动词不定式作目的状语。
57.from 考查介词。keepawayfrom是动词短语,意为“远离……”。
58.looking 考查非谓语动词。spendtime(in)doingsth是固定搭配,意为“花时间做某事”。
59.frighten 考查动词。情态动词can后应跟动词原形,故用fright的动词形式frighten。
60.What 考查主语从句。分析句子结构可知,空处引导主语从句且在从句中作主语,故填What。
61.carefully 考查副词。修饰句中的谓语动词compared应使用副词形式。
62.an 考查冠词。根据前面的动词caused和increase后面的介词of可知,increase在此处是名词,故用不定冠词an修饰。
63.werepublished 考查动词的时态和语态。谓语动词publish和句子的主语results之间是被动关系;根据时间状语twomonthsago可知,描述的是发生在过去的事情,故用一般过去时的被动语态。
64.unusual 考查形容词。句意:因为先前没人对此进行过如此详细的研究,所以这些新的发现显得不同寻常。
65.surprised 考查形容词。表示主语MarleeTucker的心理状态,故用surprised。

Dear Peter,
Glad to hear that you are going to take a trip to China this August.As I know,you are always interested in Chinese culture and want to learn some Chinese.Therefore,I suggest that you choose Chinese daily dialogue as a start,like greeting people,asking for directions and bargaining for souvenirs,which can help you a lot during your trip.
Learning a foreign language needs great efforts.Apparently,I’d like to be your teacher and send you an e-book with my teaching schedule later.Besides,let’s have an online class over the Internet every weekend,through which I will try my best to make your learning easier and surely you can speak some fluent Chinese before your arrival.
Looking forward to your early reply.

第二节(满分25分)
阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
All parents know exercise is important for children: It can lower heart risks, control weight,and help kids do better in school.Plus, outdoor activities at an early age can go a long way toward helping children form healthy habits for life.In other words, exercise is needed for healthy development.But don’t expect kids to understand about those things.Some kids just aren’t into exercise, but that shouldn’t mean they have to be addicted to the TV.So parents could do something to help inactive sons or daughters fall in love with physical activity.
If parents sit in front of the TV every night, a bag of chips in hand, kids aren’t likely to respect restrictions(限制)you set on their screen time either.So check your own viewing behavior, and serve as a role model by putting physical activity into your everyday life.When you can,walk instead of driving.Regularly participate in activities that you enjoy and let your kids see—and hear about—how much you enjoy them.In this way,they may “do as the Romans do”.Make sure that children’s fitness is included in the family schedule in the same way that school,work,shopping, and family gatherings find their way onto the calendar.You and your children are more likely to stick to an exercise plan if you incorporate it into your life on a routine basis.And your children will begin to expect and accept that Sunday morning usually means a hike ride, and a couple of nights after dinner the family takes a light walk through the neighborhood.
Children who aren’t naturally good at physical activity may be self-conscious about their lack of physical skills and even fear public failure.These kids need all the support and encouragement from parents.Negative comments don’t work and will only serve to make your child feel bad.Remember, acknowledge the effort—choosing to be active or trying to improve a skill—rather than the outcome.
参考范文
Since exercise is significant for children’s healthy growth, parents could do something to help their physically inactive kids love doing exercise with the following tips.(要点1)Primarily, mind parents’ own behavior and set good examples for children so that they will follow suit.(要点2) Besides,make exercise a family routine and in this way kids will gradually get accustomed to it.(要点3) Moreover, give children positive feedback and lay emphasis on the process (efforts) they made during physical activity rather than the outcome.(要点4)

Technology companies usually focus their benefits on making people stay in the office longer:ping-pong tables,game rooms,on-site training rooms;some even offer laundry services.We,ABC Company,don’t do any of these.Instead,we focus on benefits that get people out of the office as much as possible.We designed our benefits system to reflect that.Here are some of the benefits we offer to get people away from the computer.
Vacation:For the last three years in a row,we’ve worked with a professional travel agent to prepare different travel packages that employees could pick from as a holiday gift.Everything is paid for and included.Specific,pre-arranged trips—whether for a family to go to Disneyland or a couple to tour Spain or singles to go to Lijiang,China—have helped make sure people actually take their vacations.
4-day Summer Weeks:From May through October,everyone who’s been with the company for more than a year gets to work just four days in a week.This started out as “Friday’s off”,but roles like customer support and operations need to cover all hours.
To come up with the best ideas,you need a fresh mind.These travel and me-off benefits help everyone stay sharp.
17.Why does ABC Company offer the benefits to its employees?
A.To keep them staying longer in the office.
B.To encourage them to work overtime.
C.To help them to get away from the computer.
答案C
18.How many benefits does ABC Company offer to its employees?

A
Dangerous as they are,extreme sports remain appealing among many Australian young people!Camp Xtreme is the perfect test of your heart.
KiteSurfing
It’s the exciting mixture of kite,board and waves.The idea of using a kite to accelerate speed seems like a new challenge:Yet the art of kite flying dates back to the 13th-century China when it was used as a simple means of transport.
Catch a wind and you’re moving up,down and across the surf.“It’s always exciting.You’d jump 5 feet or 35 feet.You never know if you’re going to go up in the air,and your heart is just going boom,boom,boom.”
Coasteering
It is by far the best activity and the event that everyone is still talking about.This is exploring the coastline without worrying about a coastal path or finding a rocky bay blocking your route.You climb,dive and swim from one place to another.With coasteering,you don’t have to be able to swim as the wet suit and buoyancy(浮力)aid will keep you floating when you are in the water.
SkyDiving
Traditional parachuting(跳伞)doesn’t sound risky enough.So now sky diving is the name for jumping from a plane and listening to your heart beating heavily as you move fast towards earth before you open your parachute at the last moment.
MountainBiking
It’s been around so long that bikers are no longer satisfied with just going up and down a mountain.Mountain biking is a sport which consists of riding bicycles off-road,often over rough land,using specially adapted mountain bikes.Mountain bikes share similarities with other bikes,but include features designed to improve strength and performance in rough areas.

In 2007,Jamie Whitmore was considered one of the most successful athletes in America.She was a six-time USA champion for XTERRA racing,a two-time European tour champion,and held a world title.
Everything changed during a triathlon that seemed like so many others she had conquered.As a professional athlete,Jamie Whitmore was used to suffering,but she never imagined the pain in her leg could be a deadly cancer.
After a friend recommended she go to the University of California,San Francisco,Whitmore took his advice and was quickly admitted.What doctors found during surgery shocked them all: Whitmore had spindle cell sarcoma,a soft tissue tumor that can start in the bone,and the tumor was wrapped around her sciatic nerve and touching several vital organs.They couldn’t cut it out for fear of bursting the tumor.
When she heard the diagnosis for the first time,Whitmore said time stood still.“I couldn’t breathe.They were talking about treatment and I just started crying and saying ‘I don’t want to die.’” Finally,the doctors enlisted the help of several specialists to remove the tumor.Whitmore developed sepsis(败血症) from the surgery and endured a grueling two-month recovery.When she began to feel sick again,Whitmore was certain her cancer was back.Instead,doctors gave her unexpected news: She was pregnant—with twins.“That was a whole other freak-out,” Whitmore recalls.
Jamie Whitmore isn’t used to slowing down.She has never met a challenge she couldn’t overcome,whether it was an XTERRA mountain bike race—or cancer.Today,Whitmore is a mother of two sons and cancer-free.She’s competing again,and has won a gold medal in the Paralympics,nine world titles,and has set two world records.She travels as a motivational speaker when she’s not spending time with her sons.Whitmore has some words of advice for others with limitations: “Never let anyone tell you what you can and cannot do.Some doctors told me I would never ride anything more than a stationary bike.And yet I rode my mountain bike 104 miles climbing from 9,000 feet to 14,000 feet.People with two good legs have fallen short of that task!You just can’t give up.”
【语篇解读】本文是记叙文。美国著名运动员JamieWhitmore在事业巅峰时期不幸罹患癌症,但是她没有被病魔击倒,经过积极的治疗和康复最终得以重返赛场。

A balanced diet comprising of diverse and healthy foods is the key to promoting good health.After all,we are what we eat—research continues to prove that eating healthy food promotes good health and unhealthy food habits lead to a diseased body.Foods contain vital nutrients that aid our body’s metabolic function.However,a lack of consumption of these nutrients or feeding upon the wrong kinds of food leads to an accumulation of toxins within the body,resulting in chronic (慢性的)diseases in the long run.
A nutritious diet while ensuring overall well being,helps to maintain a healthy Body Mass Index (BMI),reduces the risk of several debilitating diseases like cancer,cardiovascular ailments,diabetes,osteoporosis and stroke.Thus a nutritious and healthy diet is important in the prevention and cure of various diseases.
There are several health conditions that can be caused or aggravated (加重)by the food we eat.However,there are also several foods that you can include in your diet to help prevent or treat diseases.It is simplest to draw up a balanced diet chart as this will ensure that you get all the nutrients you require on a regular basis.A nutrition diet chart is a diet chart that helps you to keep a track of your nutritional diet requirements and is a very useful tool when drawing up a personalized diet plan.
However,it must be noted that allopathic medicine treats the symptoms rather than the root cause of the disease,which is usually caused by wrong eating habits leading to an accumulation of toxins within the system.Whereas a nutritious healthy diet can rectify underlying causes of diseases and restore one to wholeness of mind and body.Once we realize the connection between a wholesome balanced diet and good health,our food will be our medicine and maintaining good health will be a matter of making the right food choices and leading a healthy lifestyle.

William Ⅰ,who conquered England some 950 years ago,had wealth,power and an army.Yet although William was very rich by the standard of his time,he had nothing like a flush toilet (抽水马桶),paper towels,or a riding lawn mower (割草机).How did he get by?
History books are filled with wealthy people who were poor compared to me.I have storm windows,Croesus did not.Entire nations trembled before Alexander the Great,but he couldn’t buy cat food.Czar Nicholas lacked an electric saw(锯).
Given how much better off I am than so many famous dead people,you’d think I’d be content.The trouble is that,like most people,I compare my wealth with that of living persons:neighbors,school classmates,and famous TV people.The greed I feel toward my friend Howard’s new kitchen is not reduced by the fact that no kings ever had a refrigerator with glass doors.
There is really no rising or falling standard of living.Over the centuries people simply find different things to feel sad about.You’d think that simply not having disease would put us in a good mood,but no,we want a hot bath too.
Of course,one way to achieve happiness would be to realize that even by today’s standards the things I own are pretty nice.My house is smaller than the houses of many investment bankers,but even so it has a lot more rooms that my wife and I can keep clean.
Besides,to people looking back at our era from a century or two in the future,these bankers’ fancy counter tops and my own worn Formica will seem equally shabby.I can’t keep up with my neighbors right now.But just wait.

MakeYourFitnessResolutionsStick
Last year,the most common New Year’s resolution was fitness-related.A study showed that roughly 50 million Americans pledged (发誓)to increase activity and lose weight. 36 ,success was hard to achieve.Two months later,only 37 percent of people in their 20s and 16 percent over age 50 had kept to their new fitness habit.
37 ,the benefits of such a change are clear.There is no question that exercise plays a role in the prevention and treatment of many diseases.Weekly exercise routines have been shown to reduce rates of depression and anxiety,lessen risk of heart attack and stroke,and reduce the prevalence of diabetes.
38 .It’s suggested that 150 minutes per week of moderate intensity exercise like swimming,and 75 minutes per week of intense exercise,like jogging,should be the minimum amount of exercise needed to achieve maximum medical benefits.Often the best way to increase your exercise is to incorporate (融合)movement into your everyday life.On average,urban citizens who work by walk,bike or public transportation are fitter than suburban citizens who drive to work.Besides,taking the stairs instead of the elevator also helps. 39 .
Whether you resolve to work out at your local gym three times a week,take 10,000 steps a day or give your dog an extra walk every day.What matters most was not your commitment to exercise but your sticking to it. 40 .
A.While they have good intentions
B.Although behavior change is tough
C.However hard they try to make a change
D.There is always one type of exercise that you are fond of
E.So commit to something you love and keep to your fitness habit

答案与解析
【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明人类活动导致许多动物在夜间保持清醒,旨在避开人类。
56.to avoid 考查非谓语动词。根据句意可知,此处用动词不定式作目的状语。
57.from 考查介词。keepawayfrom是动词短语,意为“远离……”。
58.looking 考查非谓语动词。spendtime(in)doingsth是固定搭配,意为“花时间做某事”。
59.frighten 考查动词。情态动词can后应跟动词原形,故用fright的动词形式frighten。
60.What 考查主语从句。分析句子结构可知,空处引导主语从句且在从句中作主语,故填What。
61.carefully 考查副词。修饰句中的谓语动词compared应使用副词形式。
62.an 考查冠词。根据前面的动词caused和increase后面的介词of可知,increase在此处是名词,故用不定冠词an修饰。

Glad to hear that you are going to take a trip to China this August.As I know,you are always interested in Chinese culture and want to learn some Chinese.Therefore,I suggest that you choose Chinese daily dialogue as a start,like greeting people,asking for directions and bargaining for souvenirs,which can help you a lot during your trip.
Learning a foreign language needs great efforts.Apparently,I’d like to be your teacher and send you an e-book with my teaching schedule later.Besides,let’s have an online class over the Internet every weekend,through which I will try my best to make your learning easier and surely you can speak some fluent Chinese before your arrival.

第二节(满分25分)
阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
All parents know exercise is important for children: It can lower heart risks, control weight,and help kids do better in school.Plus, outdoor activities at an early age can go a long way toward helping children form healthy habits for life.In other words, exercise is needed for healthy development.But don’t expect kids to understand about those things.Some kids just aren’t into exercise, but that shouldn’t mean they have to be addicted to the TV.So parents could do something to help inactive sons or daughters fall in love with physical activity.
If parents sit in front of the TV every night, a bag of chips in hand, kids aren’t likely to respect restrictions(限制)you set on their screen time either.So check your own viewing behavior, and serve as a role model by putting physical activity into your everyday life.When you can,walk instead of driving.Regularly participate in activities that you enjoy and let your kids see—and hear about—how much you enjoy them.In this way,they may “do as the Romans do”.Make sure that children’s fitness is included in the family schedule in the same way that school,work,shopping, and family gatherings find their way onto the calendar.You and your children are more likely to stick to an exercise plan if you incorporate it into your life on a routine basis.And your children will begin to expect and accept that Sunday morning usually means a hike ride, and a couple of nights after dinner the family takes a light walk through the neighborhood.
Children who aren’t naturally good at physical activity may be self-conscious about their lack of physical skills and even fear public failure.These kids need all the support and encouragement from parents.Negative comments don’t work and will only serve to make your child feel bad.Remember, acknowledge the effort—choosing to be active or trying to improve a skill—rather than the outcome.
参考范文
Since exercise is significant for children’s healthy growth, parents could do something to help their physically inactive kids love doing exercise with the following tips.(要点1)Primarily, mind parents’ own behavior and set good examples for children so that they will follow suit.(要点2) Besides,make exercise a family routine and in this way kids will gradually get accustomed to it.(要点3) Moreover, give children positive feedback and lay emphasis on the process (efforts) they made during physical activity rather than the outcome.(要点4)
