一、阅读理解（本大题共15小题，共30.0分）
A
Ray Tokuda， a 54-year-old Japanese American， is proud of the title his school has given him． He is a Shifu， a Chinese word literally meaning a master， mentor or senior practioner of martial arts．

Tokuda has reason to be proud． He has been involved with Chinese martial arts for almost four decades． After learning them at the martial arts school in New Mexico State， today he is among the most experienced kung fu teachers of the school．
Practicing martial arts two to three hours and helping students improve their skills have become Tokuda's daily routine． He expects to practice and teach martial arts for the rest of his life． "I'm still learning． It's worth more than a lifetime to learn Chinese martial arts，" he said． "Once I started， I just couldn't stop． I think it's also the magic of Chinese culture．"
Tokuda was sent to the martial arts school when he was 10． He still remembers how unwilling he was when starting out． "My father had always wanted to learn Chinese martial arts but never got the chance， so he put his kid in，" he said． "I was so afraid at that time because I thought kung fu was all about fighting．"
But things changed after he learned that martial arts were more than punching and kicking．
"One of the things martial arts teach me is overcoming adversity，" Tokuda said． "As a little kid， my first lesson was like， oh， look， this is a thing that I can get through by diligence， perseverance（毅力）and dedication， and that was priceless for my life．"
Learning Chinese martial arts opened a gateway for him to better understand Chinese culture because he could hear a lot of ancient Chinese kung fu-related stories． "It is like in America， where we hear stories about knights in shining armor and King Arthur and noble deeds done，" he said． "I feel martial arts preserve something of ancient China that can't be found in books． They are sort of an oral history．"
Tokuda has also been invited to various events in his home state to showcase traditional Chinese culture， including the dragon dance and lion dance， which he also learnt at the martial arts school． Because of this， he is now considered a cultural envoy （使者） in the eyes of the public．
1. Tokuda didn't want to learn kung fu because he had thought it was ______ ．
A. practical B. magical C. violent D. difficult
2. From the passage， what can we learn about Tokuda？ ______
A. He learnt martial arts from his father．
B. He is the founder of the kung fu school．
C. He learnt from martial arts how to deal with difficulties．
D. He is the most experienced kung fu teacher of his state．
3. Which of the following words can best describe Tokuda？ ______
A. Modest and friendly． B. Devoted and persevering．
C. Talented and humorous． D. Motivated and considerate．
B
New App Helps People Remember Faces Large gatherings such as weddings and conferences can be socially overwhelming． Pressure to learn people's names only adds to the stress． A new facial-recognition app could come to the rescue， but privacy experts recommend proceeding with caution．
The app， called SocialRecall， connects names with faces via smartphone cameras and facial recognition， potentially avoiding the need for formal introductions． "It breaks down these social barriers we all have when meeting somebody，" says Barry Sandrew， who created the app and tested it at an event attended by about 1，000 people．
After receiving an invitation to download SocialRecall from an event organizer， the user is asked to take two selfies and sign in via social media． At the event， the app is active within a previously defined geographical area． When a user points his or her phone camera at an attendee's face， the app identifies the individual， displays the person's name， and links to his or her social media profile． To protect privacy， it recognizes only those who have agreed to participate． And the app's creators say it automatically deletes users' data after an event．
Ann Cavoukian， a privacy expert who runs the Privacy by Design Center of Excellence praises the app's creators for these protective measures． She cautions， however， that when people choose to share their personal information with the app， they should know that "there may be unintended consequences down the road with that information being used in another context that might come back to bite you．"
The start-up has also developed a version of the app for individuals who suffer from prosopagnosia， or "face blindness，" a condition that prevents people from recognizing individuals they have met． To use this app， a person first acquires an image of someone's face， from either the smartphone's camera or a photograph， and then tags it with a name． When the camera spots that same face in real life， the previously entered information is displayed． The collected data are stored only on a user's phone， according to the team behind the app．
4. SocialRecall is used to ______ ．
A. take photos B. identify people C. organize events D. make friends
5. Paragraph 3 is mainly about ______ ．
A. how the app works B. how the app was created
C. what makes the app popular D. what people can do with the app
6. SocialRecall helps people with prosopagnosia by ______ ．
A. giving names to the photos kept in their smartphones
B. collecting information previously entered in the phone
C. providing the information of a person when they first meet
D. showing the person's information when it spots a stored face
7. What can we learn about SocialRecall from the passage？ ______
A. It may put people's privacy at risk．
B. It has caused unintended consequences．
C. It can prevent some communication disorders．
D. It is praised by users for its protective measures．
C
GOING TO UNIVERSITY is supposed to be a mind-broadening experience． That statement is probably made in comparison to training for work straight after school， which might not be so encouraging． But is it actually true？ Jessika Golle of the University of Tübingen， in Germany， thought she would try to find out． Her result， however， is not quite what might be expected． As she reports in Psychological Science this week， she found that those who have been to university do indeed seem to leave with broader and more inquiring minds than those who have spent their immediate post-school years in vocational （职业的） training for work． However， it was not the case that university broadened minds． Rather， work seemed to narrow them．
Dr． Golle came to this conclusion after she and a team of colleagues studied the early careers of 2，095 German youngsters． The team used two standardized tests to assess their volunteers． One was of personality traits， including openness， conscientiousness（认真）and so on． The other was of attitudes， such as realistic， investigative and enterprising． They administered both tests twice-once towards the end of each volunteer's time at school， and then again six years later． Of the original group， 382 were on the intermediate track， from which there was a choice between the academic and vocational routes， and it was on these that the researchers focused． University beckoned for 212 of them． The remaining 170 chose vocational training and a job．
When it came to the second round of tests， Dr． Golle found that the personalities of those who had gone to university had not changed significantly． Those who had undergone vocational training and then got jobs were not that much changed in personality， either-except in one crucial respect． They had become more conscientious．
That sounds like a good thing， certainly compared with the common public image of undergraduates as a bunch of lazybones． But changes in attitude that the researchers recorded were rather worrying． In the university group， again， none were detectable． But those who had chosen the vocational route showed marked drops in interest in tasks that are investigative and enterprising in nature． And that might restrict their choice of careers．
Some investigative and enterprising jobs， such as scientific research， are， indeed beyond the degreeless． But many， particularly in Germany， with its tradition of vocational training， are not． The researchers mention， for example， computer programmers and finance-sector workers as careers requiring these traits． If Dr． Golle is correct， and changes in attitude brought about by the very training Germany prides itself on are narrowing people's choices， that is indeed a matter worthy of serious consideration．
8. Which of the following can best replace "beckoned for" in Paragraph 2？ ______
A. Examined． B. Attracted． C. Organized． D. Recognized．
9. What can we learn from the research？ ______
A. The degreeless have not changed in personalities．
B. Going to university is a mind-broadening experience．
C. Working straight after school narrows people's minds．
D. College students pride themselves on their education．
10. According to the last two paragraphs， ______ ．
A. college students enjoy a very good public image
B. the undergraduates have changed significantly in attitude
C. the degreeless are much better at dealing with challenging tasks
D. people show less interest in investigative jobs due to vocational training
11. What is the author's attitude towards the finding？ ______
A. Concerned． B. Optimistic． C. Unclear． D. Sceptical．
D
Smile! It makes everyone in the room feel better because they， consciously or unconsciously， are smiling with you． Growing evidence shows that an instinct for facial mimicry（模仿） allows us to empathize with and even experience other people's feelings． If we can't mirror another person's face， it limits our ability to read and properly react to their expressions． A review of this emotional mirroring appears on February 11 in Trends in Cognitive Sciences．
In their paper， Paula Niedenthal and Adrienne Wood， social psychologists at the University of Wisconsin， describe how people in social situations copy others' facial expressions to create emotional responses in themselves． For example， if you're with a friend who looks sad， you might "try on" that sad face yourself without realizing you're doing so． In "trying on" your friend's expression， it helps you to recognize what they're feeling by associating it with times in the past when you made that expression． Humans get this emotional meaning from facial expressions in a matter of only a few hundred milliseconds．
"You reflect on your emotional feelings and then you generate some sort of recognition judgment， and the most important thing that results in is that you take the appropriate action-you approach the person or you avoid the person，" Niedenthal says． "Your own emotional reaction to the face changes your perception of how you see the face in such a way that provides you with more information about what it means．"
A person's ability to recognize and "share" others' emotions can be prevented when they can't mimic faces． This is a common complaint for people with motor diseases， like facial paralysis（瘫痪） from a stroke， or even due to nerve damage from plastic surgery． Niedenthal notes that the same would not be true for people who suffer from paralysis from birth， because if you've never had the ability to mimic facial expressions， you will have developed compensatory ways of interpreting emotions．
People with social disorders associated with mimicry or emotion-recognition damage， like autism（自闭症）， can experience similar challenges． "There are some symptoms in autism where lack of facial mimicry may in part be due to limitation of eye contact，" Niedenthal says．
Niedenthal next wants to explore what part in the brain is functioning to help with facial expression recognition． A better understanding of that part， she says， will give us a better idea of how to treat related disorders．
12. According to the passage， facial mimicry helps ______ ．
A. experience one's own feelings clearly
B. change others' emotions quickly
C. respond to others' expressions properly
D. develop friendship with others easily
13. We can know from Paragraph 4 and 5 that ______ ．
A. people with motor diseases may also suffer from autism
B. people born with facial paralysis may still recognize emotions
C. people with social disorders can't have eye contact with others
D. people receiving plastic surgery have difficulty in mimicking faces
14. According to Niedenthal， the next step of the study will focus on ______ ．
A. how we can treat brain disorders
B. what can be done to regain facial mimicry
C. how our brain helps us with emotional mirroring
D. what part of our brain helps recognize facial expression
15. The passage is written to ______ ．
A. discuss how people react positively to others' smiles
B. draw people's attention to those with social disorders
C. introduce a new trend in facial expression recognition
D. explain how emotional mirroring affects people's empathy
二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）
Benefits of Sports Doing sports is a physical， mental and social adventure． It's a great way for children to take a break from academics and release extra energy． It also helps them lead fuller and happier lives as regular sports have proven to improve overall well-being．
The physical benefits of doing sports are probably the most obvious． Regardless of your fitness level when you start playing sports， you'll notice an increase in your overall fitness once you're involved． (1) Basketball players focus on strength training； football players work on speed while track athletes train through longer runs． The training process helps promote physical fitness and performances in competitions．
(2) Playing sports contributes to mental health， helping to increase confidence and self-worth． A pat on the back， high-five from a teammate， or handshake after a match really boosts a child's confidence． Words of praise and encouragement from the coach， parents and other players raise the self-worth． (3) So after a game， it's a better idea to ask "Did you enjoy the game？" rather than "Did you win？"
Children who participate in sports might also benefit from the social aspect， feeling part of a group， building up accountability and leadership． (4) Teamwork involves both being dependable as a teammate and learning to rely on your teammates to achieve a positive outcome． Teamwork breeds accountability and challenges you to be responsible for your actions． Being part of a team gives you an opportunity to be a leader．
Discipline is another social advantage． Most organized sports require a strict training and practice schedule． As a student-athlete， you need to balance academics and athletics． (5)
There is no shortage of reasons to find a sport to get involved in． Are you ready to go？ Pick one and get moving!

A． It's not just your body that benefits from sports．
B． Therefore， playing sports is going to make you more fit．
C． But remember， a child's self-worth should not be distinguished by victory or loss．
D． If you play group sports， you'll be part of a team that takes direction from a coach．
E． Nearly every sport requires physical activity and the skills needed to be competitive．
F． Among these， learning how to function as part of a team is the most important advantage．
G． Only with strict discipline can you be successful both in the classroom and in the sports field．

To avoid wasting time on the spot for the tickets， we tried making reservations online． The whole process just took us several minutes before the message popped out that the tickets had been successfully booked（高分句型一）．（预约成功）
The next day's visit amazed both of us． On arriving， impressed by the magnificent architecture， we couldn't wait to start our exploration． While wandering around the galleries， we were attracted by the delicate chinaware． To our excitement， we could scan the QR code to listen to the introduction， which gave us a deeper insight into their history．（高分句型二）（参观紫禁城的建筑、画廊以及扫码听介绍）
In the afternoon， we had a unique experience in the VR theatre． With the VR goggles on， we found ourselves back to the time when the palace was being constructed． As we "built" the wall brick by brick， we realized how much effort was put into accomplishing the grand work of architectural art．（参观VR体验馆）
Before we left， I led Jim to the souvenir center for cultural creative products． All the cups， notebooks and other products there bear certain elements of royal life． Jim was satisfied with his final choice of a Chinese fan． After this visit， I found the Forbidden City both traditional and modern because our rich and profound history was made alive here!（离开前购买纪念品）

【解析】高分句型：
1． The whole process just took us several minutes before the message popped out that the tickets had been successfully booked
在网上预约成功显示之前，我们预约的整个过程只花费了我们几分钟的时间．
该句中before引导一个时间状语从句，而that引导的是一个宾语从句．
2． To our excitement， we could scan the QR code to listen to the introduction， which gave us a deeper insight into their history．
令我们兴奋的是，我们可以扫码收听对紫禁城的介绍，这给了我机会更深的了解他们的历史．
该句中To our excitement为介词短语作状语，which引导一个非限制性定语从句．
我们在写作文的时候，一般应该把亮点句型放在明显的位置，以便于能够吸引阅卷老师的眼球；同时对于高分句型的使用也要慎重，应该用自己有把握的句子，特别是高考时，应该以正确为首要目的．另外，长短句的搭配使用会使文章显得灵活，不死板，是写作的首选．
