Close to a century ago, New York’s Coney Island was famed for its sideshows (杂耍). Eye-catching signs crowded the island’s attractions, showing off circus shows, sword swallowers—and even an exhibition of tiny babies.
The babies were premature ones kept alive in incubators (婴儿保育箱) pioneered by Dr. Martin Couney. The medical establishment had rejected his incubators, but Dr. Couney didn’t give up on his aims. Starting in 1896, he funded his work by displaying the babies and charging 25 cents to see the show. In return, parents didn’t have to pay for Dr. Couney’s incubators, and many children survived who would never have had a chance otherwise.
Born in 12, Lucille Horn ended up in an incubator on Coney Island. She’d been born a twin, but her twin died at birth. And the hospital staff told her father that there wasn’t a chance she’d live. “It was just: You die because you didn’t belong in the world,” Horn says. But her father refused to accept that answer. He grabbed a blanket to wrap her in, called a taxi, and took her to Coney Island—and to Dr. Couney’s infant (婴幼儿) exhibit.
Years later, Horn decided to return to see the babies—this time as a visitor. When she took the opportunity to introduce herself, Dr. Couney went over to a man who was uneasily looking at his small infant. “Look at this young lady,” Dr. Couney told the man. “She’s one of our babies. And that’s how your baby’s gonna grow up.”
Horn was just one of thousands of premature infants that Dr. Couney cared for and displayed at amusement parks until the 194s. He died in 1950, shortly after incubators like his were introduced in most hospitals. At the time, Dr. Couney’s efforts were largely unknown—but at least one person will never forget him. “Ninety-six years later, here I am, all in one piece. And I’m thankful to be here,” Horn says.
4. What can we learn about Dr. Couney’s incubator
A. It pushed medical science forward. B. It was the most famous sideshow.
C. It saved many premature babies. D. It charged each infant 25 cents.
5. Why was Horn taken to Dr. Couney’s infant exhibit
A. She belonged in nowhere else but Coney Island.
B. It was the only place where she might survive.
C. The hospital staff lacked the patience to care for her.
D. Her father refused to accept the death of her twin sister.
6. What is the purpose of Dr. Couney’s words in Paragraph 4
A. To relieve the man’s anxiety. B. To introduce the lady to the man.
C. To promise the baby’s bright future. D. To explain the function of the incubator.
7. What should we learn from Dr. Couney’s story
A. Medical knowledge. B. Earning power.
C. Persuasive techniques. D. Flexible mind.
C
Restaurants, cafes and the like are for eating and drinking, right
That’s a no-brainer, you say That’s your natural reaction, I’d say. Now, think. Rewind your mind. What do you recall Aren’t restaurants and cafes the new temples of learning
For youngsters, trendy cafes are the new meeting points, joint-study centers. What you witness is small groups reading-writing, eating-sipping, browsing-downloading, copying-pasting, banding-bonding. Youngsters are at it day after day, as if there’s no tomorrow, as if they are in a race against time to upload as much knowledge as possible into their brains. It wasn’t like this before. Previous generations of students would visit cafes for coffee, tea, soft drinks or snacks, maybe share a bit of good-natured jokes with their ”gang“ members.
For exam-related study, there were quiet areas in city libraries or the college library.
Back in my hometown during the late ‘80s and the early ‘90s a handful of my classmates and I would gather at our homes, taking turns, in the run-up to key exams. During such ”night-outs“, we would study, exchange notes, share insights, brainstorm to solve tricky problems, anticipate test questions, and prepare accordingly. Not infrequently, we would discuss sports events, movies, film stars and, of course, girls.
Digital-age kids do it differently now. Why I can only guess. The foremost reason is free Wi-Fi and all that it offers. The environment at institutional libraries may not be to millennials’(千禧一代的)liking. Or, is it big pocket money or salary earned from part-time jobs Maybe, just a generational thing, a lifestyle trend, or the result of the single-child system.
One of my younger colleagues, a business journalist, last month married her childhood sweetheart, a heart surgeon, and, she told me, it all started back at school. So, the restaurants and bars promote real-life interactions, so important when addiction to online social media is seen making youth unsociable.
8. What fact does the author emphasize concerning trendy cafes
A. They are digitally powered. B. They replace college libraries.
C. They are specifically designed. D. They become teenage hangouts.
9. What does the underlined word ”it“ in Paragraph 6 refer to
A. Exam-related study. B. The use of computers.
C Movie-themed discussion. D. Social communication.
10. Which of the following best describes restaurants and bars in the last paragraph
A. Old-fashioned in style. B. Helpful for social interactions.
C Luxurious in decoration. D. Convenient for use.
11. What is a suitable title for the text
A. Restaurants and Cafes in the Digital Times
B. How Millennials Are Changing Restaurants
C. Eat, Study, Bond at Wi-Fi-Enabled ”Temples“
D. Best Cafes with Free Wi-Fi for Work or Study
D
New research suggests that one night of sleep with just a small amount of light may have negative effects on health.
The small, 20-person study conducted by Dr. Phyllis Zee, director of the Center for Circadian (生理节奏的) and Sleep Medicine, was designed to measure the physiological effects of 100 lux (照度) of artificial light on healthy adults while they were sleeping. For the study, all the participants spent their first night sleeping in a mostly dark room. The next night, half of them slept in a better lit room. Meanwhile, the researchers ran tests on the sleepers: brainwaves, heart rates and blood. In the morning, they’d give both groups a large amount of sugar to see how well their systems responded to it.
The group exposed to the light had raised heart rates throughout the night, and also had trouble getting their blood sugar into a normal range.
These changes suggest the small amount of light was enough to shift the nervous system to a more excited and alert state. “It’s almost like the brain and the heart knew that the lights were on, although the individual was sleeping,” says Zee.
While the findings of this study alone can’t predict what would happen in the long term, Dr. Colwell suspects the harmful effects would be cumulative: “This was only one night, so imagine if you’ re living that way constantly ”
“That’s going to increase the risk of long-term diseases,” says Dr. Charles Czeisler whose research has looked at the consequences of circadian rhythm sleep disorder for longer than just one night. He concluded that the unpleasant effects were primarily because of the “internal clock” being disturbed — not necessarily because of the lack of sleep.
This is not to say that the lack of sleep doesn’t also have negative effects on health — it does — but he says it simply stresses the lasting consequences of being exposed to light at nighttime.
“People think that as long as they fall asleep and are unconscious, it’s not having physiological effects, but that’s simply not true,” Czeisler says.
12. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about
A. How the study is carried out. B. What type of light affects sleep.
C. Who is in charge of the research. D. Why light and sleep are connected.
13. What do we know about the new research
A. Light plays a critical role in regulating circadian rhythm.
B. A small amount of light at night is linked with sleep depth.
C. Leaving the bedroom lights on leads to mental disorder.
D. Sleeping with a little bit of light isn’t good for your health.
14. What does the underlined word “cumulative” in Paragraph 5 mean
A. Common. B. Slight. C. Increasing. D. Accidental.
15. Which of the following might Czeisler agree with
A. The more you sleep, the healthier you will be.
B. Physiological effects disappear with a sound sleep.
C. Sleep quality lies in how you feel about the sleep.
D. It is the circadian rhythm sleep disorder that matters.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的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。
How to Work out Your Worries by Writing
Something troubling you
You should write about it.
Research shows that people who write about a difficult situation often show improved mental and physical health.
____16____ It is a specific technique, and it’s different from writing in a journal. The idea is to reflect honestly and thoughtfully on a particular challenge.
Hundreds of studies over several decades have looked at the potential benefits of expressive writing. It can strengthen the immune system, including for people with illnesses such as flu, cancer and depression. ____17____
Expressive writing works because it allows you to make meaning out of a painful experience, experts say. ____18____ Then translating that experience into language forces you to organize your thoughts. And creating a narrative gives you a sense of control.
But expressive writing isn’t a magical cure-all solution. ____19____ And people coping with a severe injury or depression may not find it useful to do on their own, without therapy(治疗).
Yet it can be a powerful tool for many, in large part because it helps prevent the secrecy people often feel about an injury, as well as their reluctance to face emotions.
____20____ Thinking or talking about an event can lead to reflecting, where you become lost in your emotions. Writing forces you to slow down. The mere act of labeling a feeling—of putting words to an emotion—can lessen the nervous activity in the threat area of the brain. Writing can increase someone’s acceptance of his experience, and acceptance is calming.
A. Why write
B. What if you don’t write
C. Expressive writing gave people the courage to face fears.
D. It shouldn’t be used as a replacement for other treatments.
E. It can also help reduce pain and improve mood, sleep and memory.
F. The first important step is to recognize what it is that is bothering you.
G. Psychologists refer to writing about an unpleasant experience as ”expressive writing“.

47. 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。
Some years before, when we moved to town, Mother had decided to start a day nursery. She had no training, but that didn’t stand in her way. Through correspondence courses(函授课程)in child care, she qualified herself for the task. Soon she had a full enrollment(招生)and a waiting list. But neither the nursery nor the motel my parents bought later had provided enough income to send my sister and me to college.
A few months after we had sold the motel, Mother arrived home with a used typewriter. From that day on, as soon as the table was cleared and the dishes were done, Mother would disappear into her sewing room to practice. The slow tap, tap, tap went on some nights until midnight.
It was nearly Christmas when I heard Mother got a job at the radio station. I was not the least bit surprised, or impressed. But she was extremely happy.
Monday, after her first day at work, I could see that the excitement was gone. Mother looked tired and upset. I responded by ignoring her.
Sitting beside her on the couch, I began very slowly to understand. I could sense her pain and the tension of holding back the strong emotions that were interrupted by my arrival. Suddenly, something inside me turned. I reached out and put my arms around her. She broke then. She put her face against my shoulder and sobbed. I understood for the first time her vulnerability(脆弱).
A week later Mother took a new job selling dry goods at half the salary the radio station had offered. “It’s a job I can do,” she said simply. But the evening practice sessions on the old green typewriter continued. I had a very different feeling now when I passed her door at night and heard her tapping away. I knew there was something more going on in there than a woman learning to type.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Two years later I left for college and Mother decided to quit her old job.

The old green typewriter sits in my office now, unrepaired.

Close to a century ago, New York’s Coney Island was famed for its sideshows (杂耍). Eye-catching signs crowded the island’s attractions, showing off circus shows, sword swallowers—and even an exhibition of tiny babies.
The babies were premature ones kept alive in incubators (婴儿保育箱) pioneered by Dr. Martin Couney. The medical establishment had rejected his incubators, but Dr. Couney didn’t give up on his aims. Starting in 1896, he funded his work by displaying the babies and charging 25 cents to see the show. In return, parents didn’t have to pay for Dr. Couney’s incubators, and many children survived who would never have had a chance otherwise.
Born in 12, Lucille Horn ended up in an incubator on Coney Island. She’d been born a twin, but her twin died at birth. And the hospital staff told her father that there wasn’t a chance she’d live. “It was just: You die because you didn’t belong in the world,” Horn says. But her father refused to accept that answer. He grabbed a blanket to wrap her in, called a taxi, and took her to Coney Island—and to Dr. Couney’s infant (婴幼儿) exhibit.
Years later, Horn decided to return to see the babies—this time as a visitor. When she took the opportunity to introduce herself, Dr. Couney went over to a man who was uneasily looking at his small infant. “Look at this young lady,” Dr. Couney told the man. “She’s one of our babies. And that’s how your baby’s gonna grow up.”
Horn was just one of thousands of premature infants that Dr. Couney cared for and displayed at amusement parks until the 194s. He died in 1950, shortly after incubators like his were introduced in most hospitals. At the time, Dr. Couney’s efforts were largely unknown—but at least one person will never forget him. “Ninety-six years later, here I am, all in one piece. And I’m thankful to be here,” Horn says.
4. What can we learn about Dr. Couney’s incubator
A. It pushed medical science forward. B. It was the most famous sideshow.
C. It saved many premature babies. D. It charged each infant 25 cents.
5. Why was Horn taken to Dr. Couney’s infant exhibit
A. She belonged in nowhere else but Coney Island.
B. It was the only place where she might survive.
C. The hospital staff lacked the patience to care for her.
D. Her father refused to accept the death of her twin sister.
6. What is the purpose of Dr. Couney’s words in Paragraph 4
A. To relieve the man’s anxiety. B. To introduce the lady to the man.
C. To promise the baby’s bright future. D. To explain the function of the incubator.
7. What should we learn from Dr. Couney’s story
A. Medical knowledge. B. Earning power.
C. Persuasive techniques. D. Flexible mind.
【答案】4. C 5. B 6. A 7. D
【解析】
【导语】本文为记叙文。讲述了19世纪90年代Dr. Couney在科尼岛的游乐场里展出保育箱，游客花25美分可以观看保育箱中展示的早产婴儿，Dr. Couney以这种方式拯救了许多早产儿的生命，Lucille Horn就是其中一个。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The babies were premature ones kept alive in incubators(婴儿保育箱)pioneered by Dr. Martin Couney.”（这些婴儿都是早产儿，在Martin Couney首创的婴儿保育箱中存活。）和“many children survived who never would have had a chance otherwise”（许多孩子活了下来，否则他们永远不会有机会）可知，Dr. Martin Couney的婴儿保育箱使许多早产儿得以存活。故选C。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Born in 12, Lucille Horn ended up in an incubator on Coney Island. ”（Lucille Horn出生于12年，在科尼岛的一个婴儿保育箱中长大。）可知，Horn最终在保育箱中存活下来；由第三段“And the hospital staff told her father that there wasn’t a chance she’d live”（医院的工作人员告诉她父亲，她已经没有活下去的机会了。）和“But her father refused to accept that answer. He grabbed a blanket to wrap her in, called a taxi, and took her to Coney Island—and to Dr. Couney’s infant exhibit.”（但是她的父亲拒绝接受这个回答，他拿了一条毯子把她裹起来，叫了一辆出租车，带她去了科尼岛，以及Dr. Couney的婴儿展览。）可知，Horn的父亲不接受医院的说法，所以带她去科尼岛Dr. Couney的婴幼儿展览 ，可以推测这也是Horn在当时情况下可能活下去的唯一希望了。故选B。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“a man who was uneasily looking at his small infant.”（一个男人不安地看着他的小婴儿。）和Dr. Couney的话语“She’s one of our babies. And that’s how your baby’s gonna grow up.”（她是我们的孩子。你的孩子就会这样长大。）可知，Dr. Couney用成活的早产儿Horn作例子来安慰这位焦虑的父亲，缓解他不安的情绪。故选A。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“The medical establishment had rejected his incubators, but Dr. Couney didn’t give up on his aims. Starting in 1896, he funded his work by displaying the babies and charging 25 cents to see the show.”（医疗机构拒绝了他的保育箱，但Couney没有放弃自己的目标。从1896年开始，他通过展示婴儿和收取25美分的费用来资助他的工作。）可知，Dr. Couney在被医疗机构拒绝的情况下没有放弃，而是灵活改变方法，以实现自己的目标；同时，由第三段“But her father refused to accept that answer. He grabbed a blanket to wrap her in, called a taxi, and took her to Coney Island—and to Dr. Couney’s infant exhibit.”（但是她的父亲拒绝接受这个回答，他拿了一条毯子把她裹起来，叫了一辆出租车，带她去了科尼岛，以及Dr. Couney的婴儿展览。）可知，孩子的父亲在医院给出孩子无法存活的回答后，没有放弃，而是选择去Couney的婴幼儿展览，最终让孩子得以存活长大。这都说明了做事情要有灵活的思维，多想办法，以实现自己的目标。故选D。
C
Restaurants, cafes and the like are for eating and drinking, right
That’s a no-brainer, you say That’s your natural reaction, I’d say. Now, think. Rewind your mind. What do you recall Aren’t restaurants and cafes the new temples of learning
For youngsters, trendy cafes are the new meeting points, joint-study centers. What you witness is small groups reading-writing, eating-sipping, browsing-downloading, copying-pasting, banding-bonding. Youngsters are at it day after day, as if there’s no tomorrow, as if they are in a race against time to upload as much knowledge as possible into their brains. It wasn’t like this before. Previous generations of students would visit cafes for coffee, tea, soft drinks or snacks, maybe share a bit of good-natured jokes with their ”gang“ members.
For exam-related study, there were quiet areas in city libraries or the college library.
Back in my hometown during the late ‘80s and the early ‘90s, a handful of my classmates and I would gather at our homes, taking turns, in the run-up to key exams. During such ”night-outs“, we would study, exchange notes, share insights, brainstorm to solve tricky problems, anticipate test questions, and prepare accordingly. Not infrequently, we would discuss sports events, movies, film stars and, of course, girls.
Digital-age kids do it differently now. Why I can only guess. The foremost reason is free Wi-Fi and all that it offers. The environment at institutional libraries may not be to millennials’(千禧一代的)liking. Or, is it big pocket money or salary earned from part-time jobs Maybe, just a generational thing, a lifestyle trend, or the result of the single-child system.
One of my younger colleagues, a business journalist, last month married her childhood sweetheart, a heart surgeon, and, she told me, it all started back at school. So, the restaurants and bars promote real-life interactions, so important when addiction to online social media is seen making youth unsociable.
8. What fact does the author emphasize concerning trendy cafes
A. They are digitally powered. B. They replace college libraries.
C. They are specifically designed. D. They become teenage hangouts.
9. What does the underlined word ”it“ in Paragraph 6 refer to
A. Exam-related study. B. The use of computers.
C. Movie-themed discussion. D. Social communication.
10. Which of the following best describes restaurants and bars in the last paragraph
A. Old-fashioned in style. B. Helpful for social interactions.
C. Luxurious in decoration. D. Convenient for use.
11. What is a suitable title for the text
A. Restaurants and Cafes in the Digital Times
B. How Millennials Are Changing Restaurants
C. Eat, Study, Bond at Wi-Fi-Enabled ”Temples“
D. Best Cafes with Free Wi-Fi for Work or Study

【9题详解】
词句猜测题。由第四段“For exam-related study, there were quiet areas in city libraries or the college library.”（对于考试相关的学习，城市图书馆或大学图书馆都有安静的区域。）和第五段“Back in my hometown during the late ‘80s and the early ‘90s, a handful of my classmates and I would gather at our homes, taking turns, in the run-up to key exams. ”（上世纪80年代末和90年代初，在我的家乡，我和几个同学会轮流聚集在家里，准备重要的考试。）可知，这里的 it 指的是考试相关的学习。故选A项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。由文章最后一段 “So, the restaurants and bars promote real-life interactions, so important when addiction to online social media is seen making youth unsociable.”（因此，餐馆和咖啡馆促进了现实生活中的互动，这在沉迷于网络社交媒体使年轻人变得不善交际的情况下非常重要。）可知，餐馆或咖啡馆促进年轻人在现实生活中的互动，所以是有作用的。故选B项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。由文章第二段尾句“Aren’t restaurants and cafes the new temples of learning ”（餐馆和咖啡馆难道不是新的学习殿堂吗 ）和第三段首句“For youngsters, trendy cafes are the new meeting points, joint-study centers.”（对年轻人来说，时髦的咖啡馆是新的聚会场所，是共同学习的中心。）可知，文章主要讲了有网络氛围的餐馆和咖啡馆不仅仅是吃饭的地方，它们成为年轻人小聚、工作或学习的场所，故选C项。

New research suggests that one night of sleep with just a small amount of light may have negative effects on health.
The small, 20-person study conducted by Dr. Phyllis Zee, director of the Center for Circadian (生理节奏) and Sleep Medicine, was designed to measure the physiological effects of 100 lux (照度) of artificial light on healthy adults while they were sleeping. For the study, all the participants spent their first night sleeping in a mostly dark room. The next night, half of them slept in a better lit room. Meanwhile, the researchers ran tests on the sleepers: brainwaves, heart rates and blood. In the morning, they’d give both groups a large amount of sugar to see how well their systems responded to it.
The group exposed to the light had raised heart rates throughout the night, and also had trouble getting their blood sugar into a normal range.
These changes suggest the small amount of light was enough to shift the nervous system to a more excited and alert state. “It’s almost like the brain and the heart knew that the lights were on, although the individual was sleeping,” says Zee.
While the findings of this study alone can’t predict what would happen in the long term, Dr. Colwell suspects the harmful effects would be cumulative: “This was only one night, so imagine if you’ re living that way constantly ”
“That’s going to increase the risk of long-term diseases,” says Dr. Charles Czeisler whose research has looked at the consequences of circadian rhythm sleep disorder for longer than just one night. He concluded that the unpleasant effects were primarily because of the “internal clock” being disturbed — not necessarily because of the lack of sleep.
This is not to say that the lack of sleep doesn’t also have negative effects on health — it does — but he says it simply stresses the lasting consequences of being exposed to light at nighttime.
“People think that as long as they fall asleep and are unconscious, it’s not having physiological effects, but that’s simply not true,” Czeisler says.
12. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about
A. How the study is carried out. B. What type of light affects sleep.
C. Who is in charge of the research. D. Why light and sleep are connected.
13. What do we know about the new research
A. Light plays a critical role in regulating circadian rhythm.
B. A small amount of light at night is linked with sleep depth.
C. Leaving the bedroom lights on leads to mental disorder.
D. Sleeping with a little bit of light isn’t good for your health.
14. What does the underlined word “cumulative” in Paragraph 5 mean
A. Common. B. Slight. C. Increasing. D. Accidental.
15. Which of the following might Czeisler agree with
A. The more you sleep, the healthier you will be.
B. Physiological effects disappear with a sound sleep.
C. Sleep quality lies in how you feel about the sleep.
D. It is the circadian rhythm sleep disorder that matters.
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。新的研究表明，晚上伴着少量的光睡觉可能会对健康产生负面影响。
【12题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段第一句“The small, 20-person study conducted by Dr. Phyllis Zee, director of the Center for Circadian (生理节奏的) and Sleep Medicine, was designed to measure the physiological effects of 100 lux (照度) of artificial light on healthy adults while they were sleeping.(这项由昼夜节律和睡眠医学中心主任菲利斯·泽伊博士进行的20人小型研究旨在测量100勒克斯的人造光对健康成年人睡眠时的生理影响。)”和最后三句“The next night, half of them slept in a better lit room. Meanwhile, the researchers ran tests on the sleepers: brainwaves, heart rates and blood. In the morning, they’d give both groups a large amount of sugar to see how well their systems responded to it.(第二天晚上，他们中的一半睡在光线更好的房间里。与此同时，研究人员对睡眠者进行了测试：脑波、心率和血液。早上，他们会给两组人大量糖，看看他们的系统对糖的反应如何。)”可知，第二段主要是讲研究是怎么进行的。故选A。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“New research suggests that one night of sleep with just a small amount of light may have negative effects on health.(新的研究表明，晚上伴着少量的光睡觉可能会对健康产生负面影响。)”可知，新的研究表明晚上伴着少量的光睡觉对健康没有好处。故选D。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第五段中的“This was only one night, so imagine if you’ re living that way constantly (这只是一个晚上，所以想象一下如果你一直这样生活？)”可知，此处是指Colwell博士怀疑有害影响会累积，所以cumulative意为“积累的，渐增的”。故选C。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第六段第一句中的“says Dr. Charles Czeisler whose research has looked at the consequences of circadian rhythm sleep disorder for longer than just one night(查尔斯·齐斯勒博士说，他的研究已经对昼夜节律睡眠障碍的后果进行了研究，研究时间超过了一个晚上)”和最后一段中的“People think that as long as they fall asleep and are unconscious, it’s not having physiological effects, but that’s simply not true(人们认为，只要他们睡着了，而且没有意识，就不会产生生理影响，但这根本不是真的)”可知，齐斯勒同意“重要的是昼夜节律睡眠障碍”的观点。故选D。

阅读下面短文，从短文后的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。
How to Work out Your Worries by Writing
Something troubling you
You should write about it.
Research shows that people who write about a difficult situation often show improved mental and physical health.
____16____ It is a specific technique, and it’s different from writing in a journal. The idea is to reflect honestly and thoughtfully on a particular challenge.
Hundreds of studies over several decades have looked at the potential benefits of expressive writing. It can strengthen the immune system, including for people with illnesses such as flu, cancer and depression. ____17____
Expressive writing works because it allows you to make meaning out of a painful experience, experts say. ____18____ Then translating that experience into language forces you to organize your thoughts. And creating a narrative gives you a sense of control.
But expressive writing isn’t a magical cure-all solution. ____19____ And people coping with a severe injury or depression may not find it useful to do on their own, without therapy(治疗).
Yet it can be a powerful tool for many, in large part because it helps prevent the secrecy people often feel about an injury, as well as their reluctance to face emotions.
____20____ Thinking or talking about an event can lead to reflecting, where you become lost in your emotions. Writing forces you to slow down. The mere act of labeling a feeling—of putting words to an emotion—can lessen the nervous activity in the threat area of the brain. Writing can increase someone’s acceptance of his experience, and acceptance is calming.
A. Why write
B. What if you don’t write
C. Expressive writing gave people the courage to face fears.
D. It shouldn’t be used as a replacement for other treatments.
E. It can also help reduce pain and improve mood, sleep and memory.
F. The first important step is to recognize what it is that is bothering you.
G. Psychologists refer to writing about an unpleasant experience as ”expressive writing“.
【答案】16 G 17. E 18. F 19. D 20. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。花时间写下你的感受，对你的身心健康都有好处。
【16题详解】
根据后文“It is a specific technique, and it’s different from writing in a journal.(这是一种特殊的技巧，与在日记中的写作不同。)”可知，空处提到一种不同于日记的写作方式。G项“Psychologists refer to writing about an unpleasant experience as “expressive writing.”(心理学家将关于不愉快经历的写作称为“表达性写作”。)” 提到的一种写作方式“expressive writing”，且结合语境，后文“It”指代的就是“expressive writing”。故选G项。
【17题详解】
根据本段首句 “Hundreds of studies over several decades have looked at the potential benefits of expressive writing.(几十年来，数百项研究着眼于表达性写作的潜在好处。)”可知，本段主题是表达性写作的好处。空前一句“It can strengthen the immune system, including for people with illnesses such as flu, cancer and depression.(它可以增强免疫系统，包括对流感、癌症和抑郁症患者)”强调表达性写作对人的身体健康有好处；E项“It can also help reduce pain and improve mood, sleep and memory.(它还能帮助减轻疼痛，改善情绪、睡眠和记忆力。)”进一步说明了表达性写作对人的精神健康的好处，与本段主题一致，且“also”表示和前一句的递进关系，符合语境。故选E项。
【18题详解】
根据前文 “Expressive writing works because it allows you to make meaning out of a painful experience(表达性写作之所以有效，是因为它能让你从痛苦的经历中获得意义。)”可知，表达性写作使你从痛苦的经历中获得意义；根据后文“Translating that experience into language forces you to organize your thoughts.(将这种经历转化为语言会迫使你整理思想。)”可知，表达性写作是通过将经历转化为语言，让你重新整理思想，即获得意义。F项“The first important step is to recognize what it is that is bothering you.(认识到有什么事情困扰着你是重要的第一步。)”说明要意识到有不愉快的存在，才能将其写下来，转化成语言，整理思路，承上启下，符合题意。故选F项。
【19题详解】
前文“But expressive writing isn’t a magical cure—all solution(但是表达性写作并不是万能灵药。)”说明表达性写作不能解决所有问题；后文“And people coping with a severe injury or depression may not find it useful to do on their own, without therapy(患有严重创伤或抑郁症的人如果不进行医学治疗，独自进行治疗是没有用的。)”进一步说明有些疾病需要医学治疗。因此空处应该说表达性写作不能治疗所有疾病，不能替代医学治疗；D选项“It shouldn’t be used as a replacement for other treatments.(它不应该被用作医学治疗的替代品。)”与前后文意义一致，符合语境。故选D项。
【20题详解】
后文“Thinking or talking about an event can lead to reflecting, where you become lost in your emotions. Writing forces you to slow down.(思考或谈论一件事会导致反思，在那里你会迷失在你的情绪中。写作迫使你慢下来。)”说明了写的重要性。空处是本段主题句，A项“Why write (为什么写？)”提出了写的意义的问题；后文回答了这个问题，故A项符合语境。故选A项。

第二节(满分25分)
47. 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。
Some years before, when we moved to town, Mother had decided to start a day nursery. She had no training, but that didn’t stand in her way. Through correspondence courses(函授课程)in child care, she qualified herself for the task. Soon she had a full enrollment(招生)and a waiting list. But neither the nursery nor the motel my parents bought later had provided enough income to send my sister and me to college.
A few months after we had sold the motel, Mother arrived home with a used typewriter. From that day on, as soon as the table was cleared and the dishes were done, Mother would disappear into her sewing room to practice. The slow tap, tap, tap went on some nights until midnight.
It was nearly Christmas when I heard Mother got a job at the radio station. I was not the least bit surprised, or impressed. But she was extremely happy.
Monday, after her first day at work, I could see that the excitement was gone. Mother looked tired and upset. I responded by ignoring her.
Sitting beside her on the couch, I began very slowly to understand. I could sense her pain and the tension of holding back the strong emotions that were interrupted by my arrival. Suddenly, something inside me turned. I reached out and put my arms around her. She broke then. She put her face against my shoulder and sobbed. I understood for the first time her vulnerability(脆弱).
A week later Mother took a new job selling dry goods at half the salary the radio station had offered. “It’s a job I can do,” she said simply. But the evening practice sessions on the old green typewriter continued. I had a very different feeling now when I passed her door at night and heard her tapping away. I knew there was something more going on in there than a woman learning to type.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Two years later I left for college and Mother decided to quit her old job.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The old green typewriter sits in my office now, unrepaired.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Two years later, I left for college and Mother decided to quit her old job. Mother had an office job with better pay and more responsibility. I have to believe that in some strange way she learned as much from her moment of defeat as I did, because several years later, when I had finished college and proudly accepted a job as a newspaper reporter, she had already been a journalist with our hometown paper for six months. One day when I asked her to give me the old typewriter, she agreed, but told me not to have it fixed.
The old green typewriter sits in my office now, unrepaired. It is a souvenir, but what it recalls for me is not quite what it recalled for Mother. When I’m having trouble with a story and think about giving up or when I start to feel sorry for myself and think things should be easier for me, I roll a piece of paper into that cranky old machine and type, word by painful word, just the way mother did. What I remember then is not her failure, but her courage, the courage to go ahead. It’s the best souvenir anyone ever gave me.
