W: Thank you. Who would you say is your biggest hero?
M: Well, you already know the answer to that, Kristal. My adviser was Ansel Adams, the great nature photographer.
W: And where did you meet Ansel?
M: Well, it’s an odd story actually. I was with my friends in the summer and they wanted to go fishing that day. I told them I would rather walk through the woods, so I hiked a mountain to relax alone, and ran into Ansel at the top.
W: Let me guess. He was taking pictures of the rocks?
M: Almost. He was taking pictures of a special cloud. Immediately, he began telling me everything a person could know about clouds. He was a wealth of information. He invited me back to his photography studio after.
W: And was that the moment you wanted to learn from him?
M: No. I decided that after he took me to his favorite spot. The amount of knowledge that Ansel had was important to me. However, it was the pure joy and love for teaching and appreciating photography that got me.
W: And now you own your own studio, you design clothing and will soon have a permanent section here at the modern museum of art and technology.

【答案】17. A 18. B 19. A 20. C
【解析】
【原文】The United Kingdom is a group of islands off the coast of Europe — but it hasn’t always been that way. Many thousands of years ago, the UK was attached to Europe by a stretch of land known as Doggerland. And the evidence of the people who lived there is regularly found. Roughly 12,000 years ago, as the last major ice age was ending, the area that is now the North Sea was very different. Instead of water, the area had hills, wetlands and valleys full of trees. Stone Age people lived in Doggerland. They were hunter-gatherers who moved with the seasons and lived by fishing, hunting, and gathering food such as nuts and berries. Over time, they were slowly flooded out of their hunting grounds. Water which had been locked away in ice began to melt, drowning Doggerland. Around 6000 years ago, people were forced onto higher ground in what are today’s England and the Netherlands. The evidence of the ancient people’s presence can be found on the sea floor, where modern fishermen often find bones and tools that date back to about 9000 years ago. Those studying Doggerland say the climate change faced by ancient people is similar to that we have now. They say that a similar situation could affect the billions of people who live within 60 kilometers of a sea shore today if polar ice caps continue to melt at a rapid pace.

As a kid, I was always chubby (圆胖的). In college I started blowing up. It got out of control when I went to law school.
I’d made a decision a thousand times: I’m going to lose weight now. But what motivated me to get serious about it was turning 30. I weighed 414 pounds. I was always tired. Some of my family members have suffered from heart disease, and I was scared. I also wanted to look better. So after my birthday, I walked into the office of a weightloss doctor.
She was very understanding. Her focus was on balanced meals and she wanted me to exercise.
Walking was all I could do at first. I started by walking a few blocks and gradually increased the distance, until one weekend, I found myself saying, “Wow, this seems pretty easy.” So I started to run.
I was losing nine or ten pounds a month, and I had more energy. I started to think about the New York City Marathon. For years, I watched the runners and thought, “This looks like fun, but I could never do that.” But now I realized that maybe I could. I joined the New York Road Runners. I ran a 10 km, then a halfmarathon. I still wasn’t confident I could run a full 26 miles. But I told myself I was going to do it, no matter what.
By my 33rd birthday I was down to 180 pounds. I started formally training for the marathon. And on the morning of November 1, I stood on the Verrazano Bridge in Staten Island with more than 40,000 other runners, waiting for the event to start.
It was unbelievable to have the audience cheering me on, handing me cups of water. And I crossed the finish line. My friends sprayed me with beer, as if I’d won the Super Bowl. And at that moment, I knew: If I set my mind to something, nothing is impossible.
24. The underlined phrase “blowing up” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to________.
A. going weaker B. becoming fatter
C. becoming healthier D. growing high
25. The author who was at the age of 33 had lost ______pounds in weight during the past three years.
A. 180 B. 414 C. 594 D. 234
26. What do we know from the passage?
A. The author formally trained for the marathon for three years.
B. The author started by running when losing weight.
C. The marathon the author ran started on the Verrazano Bridge.
D. The author has won the Super Bowl.
27. Which of the following proverbs can best summarize the passage?

(步行是我一开始能做的。我从步行几个街区开始，逐渐增加距离，直到一个周末，我对自己说：“哇，这似乎很容易。于是我开始跑步。)”及最后一段“It was unbelievable to have the audience cheering me on, handing me cups of water. And I crossed the finish line. My friends sprayed me with beer, as if I’d won the Super Bowl. And at that moment, I knew: If I set my mind to something, nothing is impossible. (观众为我加油，递给我水，真是难以置信。我越过了终点线。我的朋友用啤酒喷我，好像我赢得了超级碗。那一刻，我知道：如果我下定决心做某事，没有什么是不可能的。)”可知，作者为了减肥，开始坚持步行，跑步及跑马拉松。经过不断地努力和坚持，作者减肥成功，最终成功跑完马拉松。故推知本文想告诉我们：有志者，事竟成。故选A。
C
Years of research show that when a native English speaker enters a conversation among nonnative speakers, understanding goes down.Communication specialist Heather Hansen tells us that's because the native speaker doesn't know how to do what nonnative speakers do naturally: speak in ways that are understandable to everyone, using simple words and expressions.They unconsciously use unnecessarily confusing vocabulary, which makes language less understandable.
Ting Gong grew up in Shanghai and moved to the U.S.in her 20s. She ran up against this problem of confusing vocabulary at the doctor's one day. "The receptionist(接待员)gave me a form and asked me to write down my complaints,”she said.“I told her that I did not have any complaint，and she looked impatient and then she asked me to write down anything that I could think of.”
“I only realized that‘complaints' here refers to symptoms I have after I spoke to my husband when I got home. At the doctor's I actually wrote down 'the receptionist was not friendly' as one of my complaints."
So what can we do to improve communication between native and nonnative English speakers?
Hansen says the responsibility shouldn't be on nonnative speakers but rather on native English speakers. Take a page out of nonnative speakers' book, says Hansen, by changing your English to be more inclusive.That means no more confusing expressions. Small changes like this might allow native speakers to join in conversations with nonnative speakers.
Joseph Issam Harb, who was raised in the United States and Abu Dhabi United Arab Emirates, said,"I am still learning about English from nonnative speakers.
"In emails I've discovered an expression commonly used by some nonnative speakers 'please do the needful,' "Harb said."For years I have been interested in this expression and its use in formal work environment emails." Discovering it and wondering about the origins of the expression, which means "please do what needs to be done,"has been an enjoyable thing for Harb.
28. What makes communication between native and nonnative speakers less smooth according to Hansen?
A. The speed of native speakers' talk.
B. Nonnative speakers' bad pronunciation.
C. The difference between speakers' cultures.
D. Native speakers' use of confusing expressions.
29. Why did Gong reply that she did not have any complaint?
A. She had difficulty expressing herself in English.
B. She wanted to get treatment as soon as possible.
C. She failed to understand what the receptionist had meant.
D. She feared that the receptionist would become impatient.
30. What does Hansen suggest native English speakers do?
A. Read books by nonnative English writers.
B. Join in more nonnative speakers' conversations.
C. Make no comment about nonnative speakers' English.
D. Use expressions understandable to nonnative speakers.
31. What did Harb say about nonnative English?
A. It is very interesting. B. It should be corrected.
C. It sounds strange and funny. D. It can be used in informal situations.
【答案】28. D 29. C 30. D 31. A
【解析】
【导语】本文为说明文，主要讲述了当母语为英语的人与母语为非英语的人进行对话时，理解力就会下降，以及如何改善这种现象。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Communication specialist Heather Hansen tells us that's because the native speaker doesn't know how to do what nonnative speakers do naturally: speak in ways that are understandable to everyone, using simple words and expressions.They unconsciously use unnecessarily confusing vocabulary, which makes language less understandable（沟通专家希瑟·汉森告诉我们，这是因为母语人士不知道如何自然地做非母语人士所做的事情：用简单的词语和表达，以每个人都能理解的方式说话。他们无意识地使用不必要的混淆词汇，这使得语言难以理解）”可知，D选项“Native speakers' use of confusing expressions（母语人士使用令人困惑的表达）”与之相符，故选D项。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段第一句“I only realized that‘complaints' here refers to symptoms I have after I spoke to my husband when I got home（当我回到家和丈夫交谈时才意识到这里的complaints指的是我的症状）”可知，当时Gong没有明白complaints的含义，故选C项。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中“Take a page out of nonnative speakers' book, says Hansen, by changing your English to be more inclusive.That means no more confusing expressions. Small changes like this might allow native speakers to join in conversations with nonnative speakers（汉森说，从非母语人士的书中抽出一页，把你的英语改得更具包容性。这意味着不再有令人困惑的表达。像这样的小变化可能会让母语人士加入到与非母语人士的对话中）”可知，Hansen建议使用非母语人士可以理解的表达，故选D项。
【31题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段的最后一句“Discovering it and wondering about the origins of the expression, which means "please do what needs to be done,"has been an enjoyable thing for Harb（发现它并想知道这个表达的起源，意思是“请做需要做的事”，这对哈布来说是一件令人愉快的事情）”可知，对于Harb而言，非母语人士使用的短语很有趣，故选A项。
D

Is the woman pictured on the right more attractive than the woman on the left?
The photograph on the right was changed using a new “beauty making” computer program, which uses a mathematical formula involving 234 measurements of distances between facial features to get a theoretically more attractive version, while keeping the basic appearance of the face unchanged. Unlike changes done in fashion magazine photos, wrinkles were not smoothed and hair color was not changed.
The program is the latest attempt to combine beauty and science, a subject that has drawn increasing academic interest in the last decade.
Studies have shown there is surprising agreement among people of different cultures about what makes a face attractive. Most important is symmetry(匀称), along with youthfulness, skin smoothness and vivid eyes and hair color. Yet, like the many other scientific or mathematical attempts to define beauty, this software program raises complex and difficult questions about the understanding of beauty.
“How can they prove something is more or less beautiful?” said Lois Banner, a history professor at Chicago University, who studies changing beauty standards. “There can never be a single standard of beauty because so much of it is culturally influenced.”
After viewing “before” and “after” photographs of different people, Banner said the original faces were more attractive. “Irregular beauty is the real beauty,” said Banner, adding that attempts to measure beauty are driven by the media's efforts to define beauty and who is beautiful.
Martina Eckstut, the woman whose photo was beautified for this article, said she was struck by how different she looked. “I think the ‘after’ picture looks great, but it doesn't really look like me at all.” She added, “I would like to keep my original face.”
For centuries people have tried to define a universal ideal of beauty. “The first reaction we have to faces will be based on face symmetry.” said Alexander Nehamas, a professor who has written about beauty. “But in real life we don’t just see a face. We see faces as people express their emotions and ideas, and all those aspects of the face are essential to our deciding whether a face or a person is beautiful.”
32. Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. Beauty lies in face symmetry.
B. People of different cultures can hardly reach any agreement on beauty.
C. There is no single standard or definition of beauty.
D. Science should be used to help us create beauty.
33. According to Banner, _________.
A. there is no such thing as beauty
B. irregular beauty is more attractive than symmetrical beauty in every culture
C. the media is to blame for measuring beauty
D. it is impossible to show that one thing is more beautiful than another
34. After seeing her beautified photo, Martina Eckstut was _________.
A. shocked because her face looked ugly
B. prefer to get her face changed although it didn't look like her at all
C. amazed by the attractiveness but refused to change her face in reality
D. confused by how different she looked and had no idea what to do
35. The purpose of the passage is to ________.
A. criticize the attempts to create artificial beauty
B. introduce a beauty program and a discussion about beauty
C. discuss what makes a person beautiful
D. to encourage people to change their appearance
【答案】32. C 33. D 34. C 35. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要介绍了一个美化照片的计算机程序和关于美的讨论。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中“There can never be a single standard of beauty because so much of it is culturally influenced.(美不可能有一个单一的标准，因为它在很大程度上受到了文化的影响)”可知，美的定义没有单一的标准。故选C。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中Banner说的话“How can they prove something is more or less beautiful?(他们怎么能证明什么东西更美或更不美呢)”及“There can never be a single standard of beauty because so much of it is culturally influenced.(美不可能有一个单一的标准，因为它在很大程度上受到了文化的影响)”可知，Banner认为美没有单一的标准，因此无法证明一个东西比另一个更美。故选D。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“Martina Eckstut, the woman whose photo was beautified for this article, said she was struck by how different she looked.(Martina Eckstut的照片为本文做了美化，她说，她被自己看起来的不同惊呆了)”及“I would like to keep my original face.(我想保留我原来的脸)”可知，Martina Eckstut被美化后的照片惊艳到，但在现实中拒绝改变她的容貌，故选C。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据全文内容，结合第三段“The program is the latest attempt to combine beauty and science, a subject that has drawn increasing academic interest in the last decade.(该程序是将美与科学结合起来的最新尝试，这一学科在过去十年中引起了越来越多的学术兴趣)”及第四段中“Yet, like the many other scientific or mathematical attempts to define beauty, this software program raises complex and difficult questions about the understanding of beauty.(然而，就像许多其他试图定义美的科学或数学尝试一样，这个软件程序提出了关于美的理解的复杂而困难的问题)”可知，本文主要介绍了一个美化照片的程序和对美的讨论。故选B。
第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
根据短文内容，从短文后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。
“What is your problem?” So simple and yet so difficult to answer, that essential question is what I ask my high school engineering students when they begin the study of inventions. Our students are often provided with the problem, or spoon-fed with a solution, or end up checking their answers against those in the back of the book.___36___
The concept is the “invention design process” or “engineering design process”.___37___These steps include identifying a practical problem, developing potential solutions and ultimately designing something that proves they can improve the lives of beneficiaries. In short, we are talking about real problems that affect real people.
Students will often say, “___38___” My reply is similar: “I don’t either, but it is going to be a lot of fun seeing you find one.” At this point in the process, students begin to realize that not only do they need to identify a problem, but they have to clearly understand it. There is no room for loosely pieced together projects without thought or true purpose.
For example, each term my class invents devices to assist local fire and police departments. At the end of the unit, we invite police officers and firefighters to a showcase who then provide students with feedback (反馈) on the devices.___39___As a result, the students will also give their projects serious attention.
Inventing is a skill and every student can develop that skill. It may be a cliché (陈词滥调), but it’s true — kids are natural inventors. And once they are taught the skills of how to invent, there is no stopping them. As a teacher, I can’t help but ask, “___40___”
A. I don’t know the answer to the problem.
B. I don’t know what problem I should solve.
C. Now I am introducing them to a foreign concept.
D. It involves students in completing a series of steps.
E. How could you not give the problem the attention it deserves?
F. How can I not want to send more problem-solvers into the world?
G. They do not have time to waste on projects that don’t take their work seriously.
【答案】36. C 37. D 38. B 39. G 40. F
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章介绍了能让学生自己发现问题并解决问题的“发明设计过程”的概念。
【36题详解】
上文“Our students are often provided with the problem, or spoon-fed with a solution, or end up checking their answers against those in the back of the book.(我们的学生经常被提供问题，或被灌输解决方案，或最终在书的后面核对他们的答案)”指出了学生的一个困境：学生们已经习惯了被告知问题，或填鸭式地提供解决方案，他们自己却找不出问题，结合下一段开头的“The concept is…”可知，空处应是提到concept，C项“现在我要向他们介绍一个陌生的概念”符合语境。故选C。
【37题详解】
根据空前“The concept is the “invention design process” or “engineering design process”.(这个概念就是‘发明设计过程’或‘工程设计过程’)”可知，作者要介绍的概念是‘发明设计过程’或‘工程设计过程’，结合空后的“These steps include identifying a practical problem, developing potential solutions and ultimately designing something that proves they can improve the lives of beneficiaries.(这些步骤包括确定一个实际问题，开发潜在的解决方案，并最终设计出能够证明这些方案能够改善受益者生活的东西)”可知，空处应是提及‘发明设计过程’包含很多步骤，D项“它要求学生完成一系列步骤”符合语境。故选D。
【38题详解】
根据空后“I don’t either, but it is going to be a lot of fun seeing you find one.(我也不知道，但看到你找到一个会很有趣)”及“At this point in the process, students begin to realize that not only do they need to identify a problem(在这个过程中，学生们开始意识到他们不仅需要找到一个问题)”推知，学生经常说找不到要解决的问题，B项“我不知道我应该解决什么问题”符合语境，故选B。
【39题详解】
根据下文“As a result, the students will also give their projects serious attention.(因此，学生们也会认真关注他们的项目)”及关键词“As a result”可知，空处与下文是因果关系，说明学生认真关注他们的项目的原因，G项“他们没有时间浪费在那些不认真对待他们工作的项目上”符合语境。故选G。
【40题详解】
根据上文“I can’t help but ask(我忍不住要问)”可知，空处是一个问题，结合上文“It may be a cliché(陈词滥调), but it’s true — kids are natural inventors. And once they are taught the skills of how to invent, there is no stopping them.(这可能是一个陈词滥调，但这是真的——孩子是天生的发明家。一旦他们学会了发明的技能，就没有什么能阻止他们了)”可知，学生是天生的发明家，即他们会在“发明设计过程”中发现并解决问题，F项“我怎么能不想把更多的问题解决者送进这个世界呢？”符合语境。故选F。

Now one foot, now the other
Bobby was named after his grandfather, Bob. Bob was the one who helped Bobby learn to walk. “Hold on to my hands, Bobby,”his grandfather said. “Now one foot, now the other.”
One of the best things Bob and Bobby did was to play with the old wooden blocks that were kept on a shelf, in the small sewing room under the front stairs. The blocks had pictures of animals on them. Bob and Bobby would put the blocks one on top of the other very slowly, building a tall tower. Sometimes the tower would be almost finished. “Just one more block,” Bob would say.“And that’s the elephant block.” And they would carefully put the elephant block on the very top. But Bob would sneeze and the tower would fall down. Bobby would laugh and laugh. Then Bob would sit Bobby on his knee and tell him stories.“Bob, tell me the story about how you taught me to walk,” Bobby would say. And his grandfather would tell Bobby how he held Bobby's hands and said, “Now one foot, now the other. And before you knew it ...”
Then one day Bobby came home from school and his grandfather wasn’t there. “Bob is in the hospital,” Dad told Bobby,“He’s had a stroke (中风) and he is too sick to see anyone.” Months later, his father told him that Bob was coming home.

“Now, Bobby,” Dad said, “Bob is still very sick. He can’t move or talk. And he can’t remember us.”Bobby just nodded and didn’t say anything.
One day, Bob tried to say something to Bobby, but the sound that came out was awful. Bobby ran out of the room.“Bob sounded like a monster!” Bobby cried. “He can’t help it, Bobby,”Mom said. So, Bobby went back to the room where Bob was sitting.
“I didn’t mean to run away, Bob. I’m sorry,” Bobby said. “Do you know who I am?” Bobby thought he saw Bob blink (眨眼睛) his eyes.
“Mom,” Bobby called. “Bob knows who I am.”
“Oh Bobby,” Mom said. “Your grandfather doesn’t recognize any of us.”

【答案】But Bobby knew better and he ran to the small sewing room under the front stairs. He took the blocks off the shelf and ran back to where Bob was sitting. Bobby began to build the tower. Only one block left. “OK, Bob,” said Bobby. “Now the elephant block.”And Bob made a strange noise that sounded like a sneeze. The blocks fell down and Bob smiled and moved his fingers up and down. Bobby laughed and laughed. Now he knew that Bob would get better. And Bob did. When the weather got nice and warm, Bobby decided to teach Bob how to walk in the park.
“OK, Bob. Now one foot,”Bobby said. Bob moved one foot. “Now the other foot.” Bob moved the other. By the end of the summer, Bob and Bobby could walk to the end of the park road and Bob could talk better and better each day. One day the two finished a block building game. Bob said, “Bobby, tell stories how you teach Bob to walk.” Bobby held his grandfather’s hand gently and said, “Well, Bob, I held your arms and then I said, ‘Now one foot, now the other. ’ And before you knew it ...”
