Though not as mainstream as devices like smartphones and fitness trackers, more companies are now experimenting with the concept of connected garments. Among the pioneers is London-based CuteCircuit, which has been creating fashionable smart clothing since 2004. The company’s latest creation is the “Sound Shirt,” which allows deaf people to “feel” live music by transforming the tunes into touch feelings in real time.
The fashionable jacket achieves the incredible function using software that changes the music into data and wirelessly sends it to the 16 micro actuators (促动器) placed inside the cloth. The devices vibrate (振动) in sync (同步) to the intensity (强度) of the music being played, allowing the wearer to feel each instrument individually. For example, violin can be felt on the arms, while the deeper, heavier bass notes can be felt close to the stomach. The series of touch-like feelings across the wearer’s body enables them to feel the entire composition, resulting in a fully amazing musical experience.
To ensure the shirt is comfortable, the designers chose to leave out wires and instead wove conductive (可传导的) material into the garment’s cloth. Francesca Rosella, co-founder and chief creative officer of CuteCircuit, explains, “There are no wires inside, so we’re only using smart material — we have a combination of microelectronics and very thin, flexible and conductive material. All these little electronic motors are connected with these conductive material so that the garment is soft and stretchable.”
CuteCircuit, which has been testing the Sound Shirt for three years, expects to make it available to the general public shortly. Priced at $3,673, the smart jacket will not be cheap. However, twin sisters Hermon and Heroda Berhane, who lost their hearing at a young age, believe the hi-tech garment is a worthwhile investment, especially for deaf people with a passion for dancing. “It’s almost like feeling the depth of the music,” says Hermon. “It just feels as though we can move along with it.” Heroda agrees, adding, “I think it could definitely change our lives.”
4. What is the function of the actuators in the clothing?
A. Turning music into data.
B. Causing touch-like feelings.
C. Conducting electricity in the clothing.
D. Wirelessly sending data to the clothing.
5. Why does the author mention Francesca Rosella’s words about the clothing?
A. To explain how the clothing functions.
B. To explain the principles of smart material.
C. To show the clothing is comfortable to wear.
D. To show the designers have worked very hard.
6. What do Hermon and Heroda Berhane think of the new creation?
A. It actually isn’t that advanced.
B. It is affordable to most people.
C. It is really worth having for the deaf.
D. It can arouse deaf people’s passion for dancing.
7. What is the best title for the text?
A. Deaf people will be able to dance soon.
B. Deaf people are looking forward to a hi-tech garment.
C. CuteCircuit’s new garment draws deaf people’s attention.
D. CuteCircuit’s sound shirt allows deaf people to feel music.


When we talk about positive thinking, we often use terms having to do with our hearts — open heart, pure heart or joyful heart. But new research from Duke University is making a closer connection, finding that a positive attitude may be helpful to people who have angina (心绞痛)，a common heart condition.
Symptoms of this condition include chest pain or pressure because the heart is not receiving sufficient oxygen. Patients who displayed optimistic thought patterns, including having positive expectations about recovery, were 40 percent less likely to be hospitalized or require surgery than those who were not optimistic, according to the study. The researchers collected data from 2,400 patients who had diagnoses of angina.
An interesting additional finding from the patients’ questionnaires was that the most optimistic patients were also the least likely to have histories of heart attack, heart failure or heart disease.
The researchers did not declare a causal relationship between positive thinking and better heart disease outcomes, however. There are multiple possible reasons for the results of the study, including the idea that patients who are healthier to begin with are more likely to expect to recover and regain good health.
But the study does represent a new way of looking at the situation. Now, in addition to a body of research that examines the relationship between depression and heart health, there is a new way of inquiry that asks whether positive thinking could be used as a strategy to improve outcomes.
Lead researcher Alexander Fanaroff, a fellow in the department of cardiology (心脏病学) at the Duke University Medical Center, told the Duke Chronicle that his next research question will find ways to improve attitudes among heart patients.
Perhaps his subjects could reflect on the word of the writer Anthony J. D’Angelo: “Smile, it is the key that fits the lock of everybody’s heart.”
8. How can people with angina get better according to the study?
A. By expecting more. B. By thinking positively.
C. By getting timely surgery. D. By taking more exercise.
9. What may be Alexander Fanaroff’s next research?
A. To explore how to improve patients’ attitudes.
B. To find out the ways to treat heart patients.
C. To learn the causes of heart diseases.
D. To test if positive attitudes help with health.
10. What can we learn from the text?
A. Optimistic people hardly get heart attack.
B. People’s attitudes influence their overall health.
C. How to improve attitudes among heart patients is clear.
D. The reason why patients recover well is that they have no depression.
11. What may be the best title for the text?
A. Keep positive to get rid of illness
B. Angina, a kind of serious condition
C. Depression, a key cause of heart attack
D. Positive thinking makes hearts healthier


My best friend travelled to stay with my family last weekend. When she arrived, she went straight to the kitchen and, without asking, ate some dried fruit. She wasn’t being rude. I knew she would do this. We’ve known each other for almost 20 years. She can eat anything she wants from my kitchen. Indeed, I bought her favorite fruits and snacks at the shop that morning.
Our long weekend together was simple. I was recovering from surgery and couldn’t go to shopping malls. We passed the time running errands (差事), but there was never a quiet moment. We’ve lived in different cities for almost a decade. Reunions (相聚) need conversation.
Our personalities are matched and a shared history is extremely valuable. We were competitors at high school before bonding. Then we discovered the many interests that we had in common. Our friendship developed itself quickly. We stayed companions and supported each other through law school and through our first jobs. What I like most about our friendship is that we don’t have to “do”, but we simply have to “be”. We drop the act, the performance, the public version of ourselves.
There is something special about friends who know everything about you. They are rare. They have seen your bright lights of achievements and the depths of desperation. The special friendships are those which never fail to delight, whose continuation is worth the extra effort, despite distance and difference in our separate lives. I had the very great joy of this reminder last weekend. I’m lucky to have found this friend, and to see a future where her companionship remains. Being together is perfection.
12. What does the underlined sentence indicate in Para. 2?
A. They talked a lot about their lives.
B. They enjoyed running errands.
C. They had a noisy weekend.
D. They quarreled at times.
13. What does the author appreciate about their friendship?
A. They help each other achieve in their fields.
B. They’re best friends despite different hobbies.
C. They inspire each other to be their best selves.
D. They’re comfortable just being themselves.
14. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. Real friends are easy to make.
B. Good friendships need effort.
C. Special friendships may fail to delight.
D. Distance and difference bring friendship.
15. Why does the author write this text?
A. To express thanks to her best friend.
B. To share the friendship she treasures.
C. To describe the appearance of her best friend.
D. To explain how she offers help to her friend.

第八部分 读后续写（满分20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。
Christmas Day was coming. I was just a kid then, and my big sister told me there was no Santa Claus. I fled to my Grandma because she would be straight with me. I knew Grandma always told me the truth. Grandma was home, and I told her everything. She was ready for me. “No Santa Claus!” She shouted. “Ridiculous! Don’t believe it.” That rumor has been going around for years, and it makes me mad, plain mad.
“Now, put on your coat, and let’s go.”
“Go where, Grandma?” I asked. “Where” turned out to be Kerby’s General Store, the one store in town that had a little bit of just about everything. As we walked through its doors, Grandma handed me ten dollars. “Take this money.” she said, “and buy something for someone who needs it. I’ll wait for you in the car.” Then she turned and walked out of Kerby’s.
I was only eight years old. I’d often gone shopping with my mother, but never had I shopped for anything all by myself. The store seemed big and crowded, full of people competing to finish their Christmas shopping. For a few moments I just stood there, confused, holding that ten-dollar bill, wondering what to buy and who to buy it for. I suddenly thought of Bobby Decker, who was a kid with bad breath and messy hair. He sat right behind me in Mrs Pollock’s grade-two class.
Bobby Decker didn’t have a coat. I knew that because he never went out for recess during the winter. His mother always wrote a note, telling the teacher that he had a cough, but we kids knew that Bobby Decker didn’t have a cough, and he didn’t have a coat. I would buy Bobby Decker a coat! I settled on a red one, which looked really warm, and he would like that.
“Is this a Christmas present for someone?” the lady behind the counter asked kindly, as I laid my ten dollars down. “Yes.”
The nice lady smiled at me, put the coat in a bag and wished me a Merry Christmas.
Para 1:
That evening, Grandma helped me wrap the coat in Christmas paper. __________________
____________________________________
Para 2:
Grandma and I waited breathlessly for Bobby Decker's front door to open and finally it opened. ________________________________________________________________________

【解析】本文是一篇说明文。最新研究表明，积极的态度可能有助于患有心绞痛的人。文章呼吁每个人要微笑面对生活，这是一把打开每个人心灵的钥匙。

4. 标题归纳题。根据第一段中的“But new research from Duke University is making a closer connection, finding that a positive attitude may be helpful to people who have angina, a common heart condition.（杜克大学的最新研究表明，积极的态度可能有助于患有心绞痛的人 —— 这是一种常见的心脏疾病。）”可知，没有提到“保持积极的心态能够摆脱疾病”，因此A项不符合中心思想。由第一段的“people who have angina, a common heart condition”可知，心绞痛是一种常见的心脏病，因此B项的描述“心绞痛是一种严重的疾病”是错误的。文章没有提到“抑郁症是心脏病发作的主要原因”，因此C项是错误的。D项的描述“积极的思考使心脏更健康”符合文章的描述。所以D项可以作为文章的最佳标题。故选D。

2. 推理判断题。根据文章第三段中的“What I like most about our friendship is that we don’t have to “do”, but we simply have to “be”. We drop the act, the performance, the public version of ourselves.”（关于我们的友谊，我最喜欢的一点是，我们不必“做些什么”，而我们只需“做我们自己”。我们放弃装模作样，敷衍行事，公共场合的面具。）”可推知，作者和朋友做自己就很舒服，不虚情假意。故选D。
3. 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“The special friendships are those which never fail to delight, whose continuation is worth the extra effort, despite distance and difference in our separate lives.（特殊的友谊总是令人愉快的，尽管我们在各自的生活中有距离和差异，但这种友谊的延续是值得额外努力的。）”可推知，良好的友谊需要努力。故选B。
4. 写作意图题。根据文章最后一段“I’m lucky to have found this friend, and to see a future where her companionship remains. Being together is perfection.（我很幸运能找到这个朋友，并且看到她的未来依然陪伴着我。在一起是完美的。）”可推知，作者写这篇文章的目的是和读者分享她珍视的友谊。故选B。

语法填空
【答案】
36. beneficial 37. growth 38. needs 39. to improve 40. however
41. meals 42. which 43. loved 44. have done 45. on
【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了，健康的亲子关系有利于孩子的身心成长，并介绍了如何维持健康的亲子关系。
1. 考查形容词。句意：众所周知，积极的亲子关系有利于孩子的身心成长，但保持健康的亲子关系需要双方的努力。be beneficial to...为固定搭配，意为“对……有益”。故填beneficial。
2. 考查名词。“the physical and mental ______ (grow) of children”是名词所有格，设空处前是形容词physical and mental，设空处应用名词形式。故填growth。
3. 考查时态和主谓一致。此处缺乏谓语，讲的是事实，时态用一般现在时，动名词短语keeping a healthy parent-child bond作主语，是单数，谓语动词应用单数形式。故填needs。
4. 考查动词不定式。句意：父母应该负起改善与孩子关系的责任。此处应用动词不定式（to do）作后置定语，修饰名词responsibility，take the responsibility to do sth.意为“有义务去做某事”。故填to improve。
5. 考查状语从句。句意：重要的是花高质量的时间和孩子在一起，不管他们的日程安排有多紧。两句缺乏连词，结合句意可知，设空处引导让步状语从句，意为“无论多么”，用however。故填however。
6. 考查名词的数。句意：例如，他们可以一起吃饭，一起参加体育活动，或者一起看他们孩子最喜欢的电视节目，这可以大大有助于让他们的孩子感到安全和被爱。meal是可数名词，此处指不止一餐，应用名词复数形式。故填meals。
7. 考查定语从句关系词。此处引导非限制性定语从句，设空处在从句中作主语，指代前面提到的亲子一起做的事，因此用关系代词which。故填which。
8. 考查过去分词。“which can contribute greatly to making their children feel safe and ______ (love)”已有谓语can contribute且无连词，动词love用非谓语形式，逻辑主语their children和动词love是动宾关系，此处用过去分词形式表被动，作系动词feel的表语。故填loved。
9. 考查时态。句意：另一方面，孩子们应该让父母知道他们感激父母为他们所做的一切。what引导的宾语从句缺乏谓语，孩子的感激是父母已经为孩子所做事情的结果，即过去的动作对现在产生的影响，所以应用现在完成时（has/have done），从句主语their parents是复数，从句谓语也用复数形式。故填have done。
10. 考查介词。句意：如果可能的话，他们可以在特殊的日子给父母送礼物，或者定期帮父母做家务。on a regular basis为固定搭配，意为“定期地”。故填on。


单句语法填空
【答案】
46. that
47. which
48. Concerned
49. measuring
50. flexible
51. original
52. concentration
53. concentration
54. awkwardly
55. immediately
56. contributed

【解析】
1.考查定语从句。句意：他们在英语课上谈论吸引他们注意的人和事。分析句子结构，① attracted their attention in their English classes是一个定语从句，修饰先行词the people and the things，关系词指代先行词the people and the things（既有人又有物）并在从句中作主语，只能用that引导，故填that。
2. 考查定语从句。句意：玛利亚写了两本小说，都被拍成了电视连续剧。先行词是novels，在定语从句中作介词of的宾语，指物，所以用which引导定语从句，故填which。
3. 考查形容词。句意：由于担心孩子们，汤姆立即打了个电话。be concerned about...“担心、挂念”，此处去掉be，用形容词短语作原因状语，故填Concerned。
4. 考查非谓语动词。句意：12英尺乘15英尺的这个房间是她的卧室，可以看到湖景。根据汉语提示可知，此处应为动词measure，measure与主语the room之间为主动关系，作定语，所以应用现在分词，故填measuring。
5. 考查形容词。句意：我们的计划需要有足够的灵活性，以满足每个人的需要。此处应用形容词，在句中作表语，故填flexible。
6. 考查形容词。句意：显然，这是该语言中最具原创性的富有想象力的作品之一。此处需用形容词，作定语，修饰名词works，故填original。
7. 考查名词。句意：这本书需要全神贯注。由a great deal of可知，此处填名词concentration作宾语，是不可数名词，故填concentration。
8. 考查副词。句意：他笨拙地摔了一跤，摔断了脚踝。句中fell意为“跌倒”，动词词性，应用副词修饰，所以空格处应用awkwardly，意为“笨拙地”。故填awkwardly。
9. 考查连词和时间状语从句。句意：我一见到她就认出她来了。根据句意和句子结构可知，句子为时间状语从句，所以空格处应用immediately，意为“一……就……”，连词词性，在句中引导从句。故填immediately。
10. 考查动词时态。句意：他的粗心驾驶导致了昨天的交通事故。此处缺少谓语，结合后文yesterday可知应用一般过去时。故填contributed。

读后续写
【答案】
Paragraph 1:
That evening, Grandma helped me wrap the coat in Christmas paper. She wrote “To Bobby, From Santa Claus” on it, after which she drove me over to Bobby Decker’s house, explaining I was officially one of Santa’s helpers. Grandma parked down the street form Bobby’s house, and I took a deep breath, and dashed for his front door. Seeing no other people notice us, I put the Christmas present down, pounded his doorbell and then Grandma and I hid in the car.
Paragraph 2:
Grandma and I waited breathlessly for Bobby Decker’s front door to open and finally it opened. Out went Bobby Decker. Seeing the coat in the bag, he looked very astonished and then called his mother to go out. After hearing them say “Thanks” to Santa Claus, I felt very proud of what I had done. At that time I decided to be Santa’s helper for ever. It was on that night that I realized the truth that he who has no Christmas in his heart will never find Christmas under a tree.
【解析】这是一篇读后续写作文。通过阅读所给文章可知，作者的姐姐告诉作者世界上没有圣诞老人，作者逃到奶奶那里想要听奶奶说实话，结果奶奶把作者带到一个商店，给了作者10美元，让作者给有需要的人买东西，于是作者给坐在自己后面的Bobby Decker买了一件红色的外套。
续写部分分为两段，第一段开头是：那天晚上，奶奶帮我用圣诞包装纸把大衣包好。所以后文应该是讲述作者和奶奶去给Bobby Decker送外套的经过。第二段开头是：奶奶和我屏息等待Bobby Decker的前门打开，终于它打开了。本段应该写Bobby Decker收到外套后的反应，以及这件事后作者的内心活动，作者为自己的所作所为感到非常自豪，决定永远做圣诞老人的帮手。
最后还要注意所续写短文的词数应为150左右。
【点睛】
1. She wrote “To Bobby, From Santa Claus” on it, after which she drove me over to Bobby Decker’s house, explaining I was officially one of Santa’s helpers.（现在分词结构作状语；“介词+which”引导非限定性定语从句）
2. Seeing no other people notice us, I put the Christmas present down, pounded his doorbell and then Grandma and I hid in the car.（运用了非谓语动词作状语）
3. It was on that night that I realized the truth that he who has no Christmas in his heart will never find Christmas under a tree.（运用了强调句型；that引导同位语从句；who引导定语从句）
