第I卷（选择题）
一、阅读理解（本大题共15小题，共30.0分）
A
Tipping customs differ from country to country.You need to know how to tip in the country that you're in when you travel；or you'll leave servers annoyed everywhere you go.Here are just a few guidelines to tipping in different countries.
Dubai
In Dubai it's a rule for restaurants to charge 10% tip on all restaurant and bar bills.You can add a couple of dirhams （货币单位）to this if you feel like it.Waiters are not paid very much in Dubai，so it is always very appreciated.
Brazil
There will always be a standard 10% service charge added to your bill，and you won't necessarily have to tip.If you do feel like being generous，an extra 5-10% will really make your server very happy.Just remember to do this as skillfully as possible - Brazilians don't make a big show of this.
Czech Republic
While locals in the Czech Republic don't leave tips，that doesn't mean you're off the hook.Foreign tourists are definitely expected to leave some kind of tip for service - as long as you're in a high tourist traffic area，like Prague for instance.The standard tip is 10%.
India
Here it is often considered appropriate for a tourist to tip your server 5-10%.You have to adjust that number by yourself though.This is how the rules go in this country.If the bill is for a small meal and totals less than 300 rupees，tip the full 10%.If the bill is higher，tip towards the 5%．
1. In which country is it OK if you don't give a tip？ ______
A. Dubai B. Czech Republic C. India D. Brazil
2. In India，the amount of tip mainly depends on ______ .
A. The size and environment of the restaurant
B. The service that you have received
C. The size of the meal you are eating is
D. The rules that the restaurants make
3. In which section of a website can you probably find the passage？ ______
A. News B. Culture C. Sports D. Entertainment
B
Nick Prosser，a 28-year-old New Zealander，has been stuttering（口吃）for as long as he can remember，but he recently discovered that speaking in an Irish accent makes his speech disorder disappear.
The young New Zealander claims he discovered the simple cure for his stutter completely by accident，while trying different accents with a friend for fun.When he tried the Irish accent，both he and his friend were amazed that his stutter almost .They were able to have a long conversation without his stuttering at all，which had never happened before.He just couldn't believe that something so simple could be the cure for a problem that had seriously affected his self-confidence ever since he was a child.
"I couldn't believe it.I had been to so many speech therapists who never suggested this technique，" Prosser said.
Interestingly，Nick has never been to Ireland，but he believes that speaking in an Irish accent comes naturally for him because of his mother，who comes from an Irish family.He suggests that people suffering from similar speech disorders try looking at their genealogies（家谱） and attempt to speak in an accent associated with them.However，the local speech specialist Annette Stock said she had never heard about this technique.
"We know as speech language therapists that singing certainly helps with people that have stutters but you can't just go around singing in your everyday life，" Stock said. "I think that this is something that works for him and that's fine.But in six months' time if it is still working I would be saying 'Wow，that's amazing'."
So why does the Irish accent make Prosser's stutter vanish？No one knows for sure，but Ants Haines，who has been Nick's barber for years，has an interesting theory：he claims that this way，the 28-year-old spends more time thinking how to pronounce the words，which somehow helps.
4. Which of the following can replace the underlined word "vanished" in Paragraph 2？ ______
A. Erupted. B. Worsened. C. Disappeared. D. Functioned.
5. What happened to Nick Prosser after he tried the Irish accent？ ______
A. He had more faith in himself.
B. He turned to his friends for their help.
C. He took pride in his language ability.
D. He went to speech therapists for advice.
6. How did Annette Stock react to Nick Prosser's suggestion？ ______
A. She confirmed it. B. She doubted it.
C. She tried to prove it. D. She was amazed by its effect.
7. What does Ants Haines intend to tell us？ ______
A. His relationship with Nick.
B. His idea of the end of Nick's stutter.
C. His confidence in Nick's learning ability.
D. The influence of speaking in different accents.
C
Being able to tell human faces apart is a skill that almost every person has，although some are far better at it than others.But a new study out from the journal Scientific Reports says that this is not just a skill that humans possess.Even fish can do it.
Following up on research studying different species' abilities to recognize human faces （sheep，dogs，cows，horses，and birds have all been tried），the researchers from the University of Oxford and the University of Queensland decided to pick an animal that does not have an evolved neocortex （大脑新皮层），the part of the brain that processes sight and sounds，and does not have a close relationship with humans.That way，there would be no reason why these test subjects would have a past history of identifying human faces.So they picked the archerfish，a reef fish variety that shoots water into the air to knock its prey out of the sky.They used this adaptation to have the fish spray water at a face on a monitor hanging over their tanks for a reward.Most of the fish were able to pick out their learned face，even when colours were taken away or methods were used to make the face shapes unclear.
This study gives more backing to the hypothesis （假设） that differentiating between faces is not just a skill that big-brained organisms are born with.It is possible that a good portion of recognizing faces is learned over time.The development of the neocortex may contribute only to quickly process a large number of faces in varying situations.But more work needs to be conducted to find a deeper link to this possible learned behaviour.The sample size of this study was very small – only eight fish were used altogether.
Also，the faces displayed on the monitor were only white，female faces from a German database，shown in a frontal view，with no expressions.Other animal trials have shown that some species，like pigeons，respond more to differing angles and varied expressions.
8. What is the purpose of this passage？ ______
A. To introduce a scientific discovery.
B. To present the differences between species.
C. To clarify how animals tell human faces apart.
D. To introduce the animals that can recognize human faces.
9. Why were the archerfish chosen as test subjects？ ______
A. They are cleverer than other species.
B. They have sharp vision and hearing.
C. They aren't closely related to humans.
D. They spray water to hit the prey.
10. What is the author's attitude toward the study？ ______
A. Cautious. B. Negative. C. Consistent. D. Sympathetic.
11. Which of the following is suggested for similar studies in the future？ ______
A. Including more test subjects. B. Enlarging the human faces.
C. Employing more male researchers. D. Using black-and-white pictures.
D
    If one more person talks about the benefits of mindfulness, I will throw cabbage at them. Just kidding. But I do have lots of cabbage happily rotting away in my kitchen thanks to the wellness obsession (着迷) that failed to keep my attention. This is a symptom of a phenomenon known as "wellness tiredness".
    Wellness is seriously big business with a worth of ＄3.72 trillion and a healthy annual growth of 14 percent. To satisfy this consuming desire, brands of super foods and various exercise classes crowd in. "The problem with all this constantly changing information on what to eat or which exercise class to take is that people begin to form distorted (扭曲的) mindsets towards the idea of a healthy lifestyle," explains Dr. Bijal, a psychologist at Nightingale Hospital. "The least harmful result of a distorted mindset will be confusion. The most harmful would be serious physical and mental disorders like extreme dieting or over-exercising."
    It's little wonder that many people are beginning to reject the idea of wellness and the lifestyle it advocates. "I can't tell you the number of wellness accounts I've unfollowed on Instagram," one fitness-enthusiast friend tells me. When I ask her why, she tells me that the public pursuit (追求) of wellness has reached "the eye-roll stage". Meanwhile, sales of fitness trackers and wearable wellness things have dropped sharply.
    Speaking of gym culture, which offers classes like Hula Hoop and Yoga, it's also beginning to show signs that people are returning to more conventional forms of exercise—some that wouldn't look out of place on a school timetable.
    The whole point of wellness is that it should become such an everyday thing that you forget about seeking it. Living a healthy lifestyle becomes a given rather than something singled out as impressive and worth applauding. Now, more people are starting to cycle to and from work, swim on lunch breaks and even try to buy old school exercise bikes.
12. What is the main idea of paragraph 2?
A. The wellness business costs people a great deal of money.
B. People are faced with too many food and exercise choices.
C. Distorted mindsets to wellness cause harmful consequences.
D. The wellness industry has been developing at a steady speed.
13. Why is the author's friend mentioned in paragraph 3?
A. To inform us wearable wellness things are not popular.
B. To advocate the idea of wellness and a healthy lifestyle.
C. To tell us that online wellness accounts are hard to follow.
D. To show the public's unfavorable attitude to wellness obsession.
14. Why are people starting to return to traditional forms of exercise?
A. Sports such as cycling are more impressive.
B. People are treating wellness as an everyday thing.
C. Classes like Hula Hoop and Yoga are too expensive.
D. People have come to know wellness is not so necessary.
15. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. The Importance of Living a Healthy Lifestyle.
B. Are You Suffering from Wellness Tiredness?
C. The Benefits of Mindfulness in Wellness Industry.
D. What is the Real Meaning of Wellness Obsession？

答案和解析

1~3.【答案】D、C、B
【解析】（1）细节理解题。根据Brazil部分中的you won't necessarily have to tip（你不必付小费）最后一句Just remember to do this as skillfully as possible - Brazilians don't make a big show of this.（一定要记得要尽可能巧妙的做到这一点---巴西人不会大张旗鼓。）可知，如果你不给小费的话，巴西人是接受的。故选D。
（2）细节理解题。根据最后一段This is how the rules go in this country.If the bill is for a small meal and totals less than 300 rupees，tip the full 10%.If the bill is higher，tip towards the 5%.（这是这个国家的规定。如果你是一顿简单的饭的账单，并且总共少于300卢布，小费最多付百分之十。如果账单费用更高，小费降到百分之五）可知，在印度，小费的多少依据餐费而定。故选C。
（3）推理判断题。根据第一段Tipping customs differ from country to country.You need to know how to tip in the country that you're in when you travel；or you'll leave servers annoyed everywhere you go.（不同国家给小费的风俗不同。你需要知道你要去旅游的国家如何给小费，否则的话，无论你走到哪里都会让为你服务的人不快。）可知，这篇文章讲述了不同国家的给小费的文化习俗，所以这篇文章很可能选自文化板块。A.News.新闻；B.Culture.文化；C.Sports.运动；D.Entertainment.娱乐。故选B。
本文是一篇应用文。文章中介绍了不同国家的给小费的文化习俗，包括巴西、迪拜、德国、捷克和印度，并详细介绍了各个国家的小费标准等信息。
考查应用文。做这类题材阅读理解时要求考生对文章通读一遍，做题时结合原文和题目有针对性的找出相关语句进行仔细分析，结合选项选出正确答案。推理判断题也是要在抓住关键句子的基础上合理的分析才能得出正确答案，切忌胡乱猜测，一定要做到有理有据。

4~7.【答案】C、A、B、B
【解析】（1）猜测词义题。根据第二段They were able to have a long conversation without him stuttering at all，which had never happened before．（他们能长时间地交谈，而他一点也不结巴，这是以前从未发生过的。）可知他口吃的现象应该是消失了。A.Erupted.爆发；B.Worsened.加重；C.Disappeared.消失；D.Functioned.起作用。故选C。
（2）推理判断题。根据第二段He just couldn't believe that something so simple could be the cure to a problem that had seriously affected his self-confidence ever since he was a child．（他简直不敢相信这么简单的事情能治愈一个从小就严重影响他自信的问题。）可见他对自己更有信心，故选A。
（3）推理判断题。根据第四段However，local speech specialist Annette Stock said she had never heard about this technique．（当地的语言专家安妮特•斯托克说，她从未听说过这种技巧。）可见是对于这种技巧有点怀疑的。A.She confirmed it.她证实了；B.She doubted it.她对此表示怀疑；C.She tried to prove it.她试图证明；D.She was amazed by its effect.她的效果令她吃惊。故选B。
（4）推理判断题。根据最后一段he claims that this way，the 28-year-old spends more time thinking how to pronounce the words，which somehow helps．（他声称，这样一来，28岁的安茨海恩斯花更多的时间思考如何发音，这在某种程度上是有帮助的。）可见是为了表明他对尼克口吃结束的看法。故选B。
本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了28岁的新西兰人尼克•普洛瑟，用爱尔兰口音说话会使他的语言障碍消失，以及这件事情给人们带来的困惑。
一、速读全文，了解大意知主题。
　　阅读能力一般指阅读速度和理解能力两个方面。阅读速度是阅读最基本的能力，考生必须在十分有限的时间内运用略读、扫读、跳读等技巧快速阅读，搜寻关键词、主题句，捕捉时空、顺序、情节、人物、观点，并且理清文章脉络，把握语篇实质。
二、看题干，带着问题读文章。
　　首先要掌握问题的类型，客观信息题可以从文章中直接找到答案；而主观判断题考查的是对文章的感情基调等，这类题必须经过对作者的态度、意图以及对整篇文章进行深一层的推理等。其次，了解试题题干以及各个选项所包含的信息，然后有针对性地对文章进行扫读，对有关信息进行快速定位。此法加强了阅读的针对性，提高了做题的准确率。
三、逻辑推理，做好深层理解题。
　　在实际阅读中，有时作者并未把意图说出来，阅读者要根据字面意思，通过语篇逻辑关系，研究细节的暗示，推敲作者的态度，理解文章的寓义。要求读者对文字的表面信息进行分析、挖掘和逻辑推理，不能就事论事，以偏概全。推理题在提问中常用的词有：infer，imply，suggest，indicate等。
四、猜词悟义，扫除阅读拦路虎。
　　猜词是应用英语的重要能力。它不但需要准确无误地理解上下文，而且要有较大的泛读量，掌握或认识较多的课外词汇。我们要学会"顺藤摸瓜"，通过构词，语法，定义，同位，对比，因果，常识，上下文等线索确定词义。

8~11.【答案】D、C、A、A
【解析】（1）推理判断题。根据第一段Being able to tell human faces apart is a skill that almost every person has，although some are far better at it than others.But a new study out from the journal Scientific Reports says that this is not just a skill that humans possess.Even fish can do it.（能够分辨人脸是几乎每个人都具备的技能，尽管有些人比其他人更擅长分辨。但《科学报告》杂志的一项新研究表明，这不仅仅是人类所拥有的技能。甚至鱼也能做到。）可知，《科学报告》杂志的一项新研究表明，分辨人脸不仅仅是人类所拥有的技能，鱼也能做到。后面段落说明了研究人员用射水鱼来进行研究的原因，以及试验过程。由此可推知，这篇文章的目的是表明动物可以识别人的脸。故选D。
（2）细节理解题。根据第二段中Following up on research studying different species' abilities to recognize human faces （sheep，dogs，cows，horses，and-birds have all been tried），the researchers from the University of Oxford and the University of Queensland decided to pick an animal that does not have an evolved neocortex，the part of the brain that processes sight and sounds，and does not have a close relationship with humans.That way，there would be no reason why these test subjects would have a past history of identifying human faces.So they picked the archerfish，a reef fish variety that shoots water into the air to knock its prey out of the sky.（继研究不同物种识别人脸的能力后（羊、狗、牛、马、鸟都试过），牛津大学和昆士兰大学的研究人员决定选择一种没有进化的新皮层（大脑中处理视觉和声音的部分）、与人类关系不密切的动物。这样一来，这些测试对象就没有理由会有过去识别人脸的历史。所以他们选择了射水鱼，这是一种礁石鱼的品种，会向空中射水，把猎物打到天上去。）可知，选择射水鱼作为实验对象是因为他们和人类关系不是很密切。故选C。
（3）观点态度题。根据最后一段中But more work needs to be conducted to find a deeper link to this possible learned behavior.The sample size of this study was very small-only eight fish were used altogether.Also，the faces displayed on the monitor were only white，female faces from a German database，shown in a frontal view，with no expressions.Other animal trials have shown that some species，like pigeons，respond more to differing angles and varied expressions.（但是还需要做更多的工作来找到这种可能的习得行为的更深层次的联系。这项研究的样本量非常小--总共只使用了8条鱼。此外，显示器上显示的面孔都是来自德国数据库的白色女性面孔，以正面视图显示，没有表情。其他的动物实验表明，一些物种，比如鸽子，对不同的角度和不同的表达有更多的反应。）可推知，作者对这项研究持谨慎态度。故选A。
（4）推理判断题。根据最后一段中The sample size of this study was very small-only eight fish were used altogether.（这项研究的样本量非常小--总共只使用了8条鱼。）可推知，文章建议今后开展类似的研究时，应注意"包括更多的测试对象"。故选A。
本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了能够分辨人脸是几乎每个人都具备的技能，但《科学报告》杂志的一项新研究表明，动物也可以识别人的脸。
阅读理解题测试考生在阅读基础上的逻辑推理能力，要求考生根据文章所述事件的逻辑关系，对未说明的趋势或结局作出合理的推断；或根据作者所阐述的观点理论，对文章未涉及的现象、事例给以解释。考生首先要仔细阅读短文，完整了解信息，准确把握作者观点。

12~15.【答案】C、D、B、B
【解析】【文章大意】这是一篇说明文。文章说明了“健康疲劳”的现象，人们开始对健康生活方式的想法形成扭曲的心态，这种现象对人们健康生活产生了影响和危害，作者建议人们将把健康当作一件日常的事情。
1. 段落大意题。根据第二段中"The problem with all this constantly changing information on what to eat or which exercise class to take is that people begin to form distorted (扭曲的) mindsets towards the idea of a healthy lifestyle," explains Dr. Bijal, a psychologist at Nightingale Hospital. "The least harmful result of a distorted mindset will be confusion. The most harmful would be serious physical and mental disorders like extreme dieting or over-exercising."（“这些不断变化的关于吃什么或参加什么运动课程的信息的问题是，人们开始对健康生活方式的想法形成扭曲的心态。”南丁格尔医院的心理学家Bjal博士解释说，“心态扭曲带来的危害最小的结果就是混乱。最有害的是严重的生理和心理疾病，比如极端节食或过度锻炼。”）由此可知，第二段的主旨大意是扭曲的健康心态会导致有害的后果。故选C。
2. 推理判断题。根据第三段中It's little wonder that many people are beginning to reject the idea of wellness and the lifestyle it advocates... Meanwhile, sales of fitness trackers and wearable wellness things have dropped sharply.（难怪许多人开始拒绝健康的概念和它所倡导的生活方式。一位健身爱好者朋友告诉我：“我无法告诉你我在Instagram上取关的有关健康的账户数量。”当我问她为什么，她告诉我，公众对健康的追求已经到了“眼花缭乱阶段”。与此同时，健身追踪器和可穿戴健康产品的销量大幅下降。）由此可推知，在第三段提到作者的朋友是为了表明公众对健康问题的不满。故选D。
3. 细节理解题。根据最后一段The whole point of wellness is that... Now, more people are starting to cycle to and from work, swim on lunch breaks and even try to buy old school exercise bikes.（健康的全部意义在于，它应该成为一件你忘记去追求的日常事情。健康的生活方式成为了一种给予，而不是什么令人印象深刻和值得称赞的事情。现在，越来越多的人开始骑车上下班，在午休时间游泳，甚至尝试购买老式学校的健身自行车。）由此可知，人们开始回归传统的锻炼方式，因为人们把健康当作一件日常的事情。故选B。
4. 标题判断题。根据第二段中"The problem with all this constantly changing information on what to eat or which exercise class to take is that people begin to form distorted (扭曲的) mindsets towards the idea of a healthy lifestyle," explains Dr. Bijal, a psychologist at Nightingale Hospital. "The least harmful result of a distorted mindset will be confusion. The most harmful would be serious physical and mental disorders like extreme dieting or over-exercising."（“这些不断变化的关于吃什么或参加什么运动课程的信息的问题是，人们开始对健康生活方式的想法形成扭曲的心态。”南丁格尔医院的心理学家Bijal博士解释说，“心态扭曲带来的危害最小的结果就是混乱。最有害的是严重的生理和心理疾病，比如极端节食或过度锻炼。”）结合文章说介绍很多人有“健康疲劳”的现象，对健康生活方式的想法形成扭曲的心态。故B选项：Are You Suffering from Wellness Tiredness?（你是否正在忍受着养生疲劳？）符合文章最佳标题。故选B。
