It’s that time of the year—graduation. The end of school year is nearly in sight, and it’s an especially big deal if you’re finishing high school or college.
One amazing(令人惊叹的) 16-year-old Florida girl, Grace Bush, graduated from both high school and college this week! She actually got her college diploma(毕业证书) before her high school diploma. How’d she do that
“Hard work and dedication(专心致志),” she told a local TV news station, “have made me succeed in doing high school and college at the same time.” She started taking college courses when she was just 13. She would often get up at 5:30 a.m. and not finish until after 11 p.m.
Doing both at once is a huge achievement, but it has also helped her family save money. She’s one of the 9 children, all home-schooled until the age of 13. Her father is a math professor while her mother is a part-time history teacher in a high school. Grace Bush has earned her college degree in law, with a near perfect GPA of 3.8 and she hopes to become a lawyer one day, although her parents expect her to teach at university. By the way, she also plays basketball in her college team in her spare time.
4. Why does the author say that Grace is amazing
A. She finished high school earlier than others.
B. She never went to bed before 11 p. m.

Researchers in Australia, who studied 1,500 people and their lifestyles, have found that having good friends can help you live longer. An American study of 10,000 students, over a period of 35 years, also found that if you make more friends than the average (普通的) person at school, you’ll receive a higher salary (工资) in later life. People need good social skills at work to manage people and work in a team successfully. These are the same skills we use to make friends at school.
On average, teenagers aged between 15 and 17 have 500 “friends” on their favourite social networking site. Adults (成年人) have 130. So if you believe this research, you might live for a long time and be very rich.
However, according to Professor Robin Dunbar from the University of Oxford, it probably won’t make any difference. Dunbar studied the number of messages between users of a popular social networking website, each of whom had between 200 and 2,000 friends. He found that they always communicate with a maximum (最大量) of 150 people.
Among these 150, Dunbar believes that around five people are close friends. You’ve most likely known them for a long time; they are probably old friends and you share all your good and bad experiences with them. Then there are ten more friends. Although they’re close to you, you may not keep in touch with them every week. Next there are 35 people who you might spend time with because of a shared interest. You aren’t close. And finally, there’s a large group of 100. You see or speak to these people at least once a year, but you don’t know them well. Beyond (超过) this number, Dunbar says, it’s impossible to make any relationship meaningful.
If you have a lot of online “friends”, try this experiment: First take away anyone you haven’t been in touch with for a year. Then remove people you can’t remember and, finally, take away friends who you wouldn’t mind losing touch with. How many do you have left How many of these people are actually good friends According to the research, these are the only people that really matter.
8. What are the studies mentioned in the first paragraph mainly about
A. The number of friends you should have.
B. The advantages of having a lot of friends.
C. Some social skills you may need at work.
D. Some useful advice on how to make friends.
9. According to the American study, the most popular students at school ________.
A. are likely to spend more money
B. may not be as popular at work
C. seem to get better paid jobs
D. will work harder in later years
10. What does the underlined part “this number” in Paragraph 4 refer to
A. 10. B. 35.
C. 100. D. 150.
11. What does the text mainly want to show
A You need to spend more time with your friends.
B. There is a lot of research on the influence of friends.
C. Friends are sometimes more important than family.
D. It’s more important to have good friends than lots of friends.
D
If you thought running was just great for the body, then think again. Scientists have found that the sport not only keeps people fit but also improves your brain power (脑力).
The research found that people who keep fit are more likely to have larger brains, better memories and clearer thinking. They also found that unfit people tended to have smaller brains and reduced cognitive skills. The findings add to a growing body of evidence which links exercise with helping protect the brain against ageing (老化) and also helping it replace dying cells (死细胞). This might reduce the risk of many illnesses and diseases such as Alzheimer’s.
One research paper within its latest issue sees scientists at Kentucky University putting 30 adults aged 59 — 69 on a treadmill (跑步机). Their heart and lung capacity was measured and an MRI scanner was used to assess the blood flow to their brains. Those who were less fit had smaller brains compared to the fitter volunteers who had larger brains. Scientists in Germany followed 21 adults aged between 60 — 77. As they went through a three-month fitness program, they saw improvements in their memory.
Researchers are not yet sure why exercise helps to protect brain cells but some research in mice has produced results. Mice, examined at the National Institute on Ageing, in Baltimore, found that cells in the hippocampus (海马体), an area of the brain used for memory, were actively reproducing while their fatter peers were in decline.
Linda Clare, professor of clinical psychology of ageing and dementia at Exeter University and a member of the Global Council on Brain Health told The Sunday Times: “Moderate intensity aerobic (有氧的) activity such as walking, cycling or running can produce changes in brain structure and function.”
12. Who tend to have larger brains, better memories and clearer thinking
A. People who are healthy. B. People who are thin.
C. People who are unhealthy. D. People who are fat.
13. What do we learn from the experiment in paragraph 3
A. Those who were less fit had larger brains.
B. Those who were fitter had smaller brains.
C. Exercise helps people improve their memory.
D. Old people doing exercise improve memory better than young people.
14. Accord to Linda Clare, what kind of activity can NOT produce changes in brain structure and function
A. Walking. B. Singing.
C. Cycling. D. Running.
15. What’s the author’s purpose in writing the text
A. To tell you sport improves your brain power.
B. To introduce some good ways to keep healthy.
C. To teach you how to best spend time in doing sports.
D. To introduce several ways to improve your memory.

Once there was a little girl named Emily. Although her singing was very pleasant to hear, lacking of courage, she never dared to sing in front of strangers.
One summer, the neighborhood where she lived would hold a singing competition. Her best friend, Lucy, came to invite her to participate in the competition, but Emily said, “I’m afraid to take part in it.” Her mother said, “It’s okay; just do it bravely.” Emily followed her mama’s advice and decided to give herself a try. The day came. Emily and Lucy went to the competition site. But she was too timid (胆小的)to walk onto the stage. She had been waiting until others finished singing. She shakily (颤抖地)forced herself to stand on the stage. She started to sing,but her voice was so low. What’s worse, she was so nervous that she forgot the lyrics (歌词)after singing a few words. Being laughed at by others, embarrassed and shy, she ran away from the stage.
Some naughty boys ran after her and said, “Emily, coward (胆小鬼)!Emily, coward!” Emily didn’t argue with them. What she wanted was to go back home as quickly as she could. Finally, she rushed into the house, hugged her mom and cried sadly.
“Well, my poor girl, don’t cry. Tell me what happened to you,” asked her mom. Emily looked up at her mother and told her what she had experienced.
Listening to her, her mom cupped her face and said, “It doesn’t matter, girl. As long as you practice singing more in front of strangers, you will become braver little by little. So, my girl, don’t be beaten by a failure.You can go out to practice singing every day. No matter who is listening to you, go on singing and never stop. I believe there will be a harvest for you.”
注意：续写词数应为150左右。

Going on singing,she walked into the park,where many people were singing and dancing.2022—2023学年武昌实验寄宿学校

Researchers in Australia, who studied 1,500 people and their lifestyles, have found that having good friends can help you live longer. An American study of 10,000 students, over a period of 35 years, also found that if you make more friends than the average (普通的) person at school, you’ll receive a higher salary (工资) in later life. People need good social skills at work to manage people and work in a team successfully. These are the same skills we use to make friends at school.
On average, teenagers aged between 15 and 17 have 500 “friends” on their favourite social networking site. Adults (成年人) have 130. So if you believe this research, you might live for a long time and be very rich.
However, according to Professor Robin Dunbar from the University of Oxford, it probably won’t make any difference. Dunbar studied the number of messages between users of a popular social networking website, each of whom had between 200 and 2,000 friends. He found that they always communicate with a maximum (最大量) of 150 people.
Among these 150, Dunbar believes that around five people are close friends. You’ve most likely known them for a long time; they are probably old friends and you share all your good and bad experiences with them. Then there are ten more friends. Although they’re close to you, you may not keep in touch with them every week. Next there are 35 people who you might spend time with because of a shared interest. You aren’t close. And finally, there’s a large group of 100. You see or speak to these people at least once a year, but you don’t know them well. Beyond (超过) this number, Dunbar says, it’s impossible to make any relationship meaningful.
If you have a lot of online “friends”, try this experiment: First take away anyone you haven’t been in touch with for a year. Then remove people you can’t remember and, finally, take away friends who you wouldn’t mind losing touch with. How many do you have left How many of these people are actually good friends According to the research, these are the only people that really matter.
8. What are the studies mentioned in the first paragraph mainly about
A. The number of friends you should have.
B. The advantages of having a lot of friends.
C. Some social skills you may need at work.
D. Some useful advice on how to make friends.
9. According to the American study, the most popular students at school ________.
A. are likely to spend more money
B. may not be as popular at work
C. seem to get better paid jobs
D. will work harder in later years
10. What does the underlined part “this number” in Paragraph 4 refer to
A. 10. B. 35.
C. 100. D. 150.
11. What does the text mainly want to show
A. You need to spend more time with your friends.
B. There is a lot of research on the influence of friends.
C. Friends are sometimes more important than family.
D. It’s more important to have good friends than lots of friends.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. D 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。短文介绍了有好朋友更重要并同时介绍了得出这项研究发现的过程，以及这项研究发现背后的意义。

(澳大利亚的研究人员对1500人及其生活方式进行了研究，发现有好朋友可以帮助你活得更长。一项在美国对10000名学生进行的为期35年的研究还发现，如果你在学校交的朋友比普通人多，你在以后的生活中会得到更高的薪水。人们在工作中需要良好的社交技能来管理人员并在团队中成功工作。)” 可知，第一段提到的研究主要是关于有很多朋友的好处。故选B。

If you thought running was just great for the body, then think again. Scientists have found that the sport not only keeps people fit but also improves your brain power (脑力).
The research found that people who keep fit are more likely to have larger brains, better memories and clearer thinking. They also found that unfit people tended to have smaller brains and reduced cognitive skills. The findings add to a growing body of evidence which links exercise with helping protect the brain against ageing (老化) and also helping it replace dying cells (死细胞). This might reduce the risk of many illnesses and diseases such as Alzheimer’s.
One research paper within its latest issue sees scientists at Kentucky University putting 30 adults aged 59 — 69 on a treadmill (跑步机). Their heart and lung capacity was measured and an MRI scanner was used to assess the blood flow to their brains. Those who were less fit had smaller brains compared to the fitter volunteers who had larger brains. Scientists in Germany followed 21 adults aged between 60 — 77. As they went through a three-month fitness program, they saw improvements in their memory.
Researchers are not yet sure why exercise helps to protect brain cells but some research in mice has produced results. Mice, examined at the National Institute on Ageing, in Baltimore, found that cells in the hippocampus (海马体), an area of the brain used for memory, were actively reproducing while their fatter peers were in decline.
Linda Clare, professor of clinical psychology of ageing and dementia at Exeter University and a member of the Global Council on Brain Health told The Sunday Times: “Moderate intensity aerobic (有氧的) activity such as walking, cycling or running can produce changes in brain structure and function.”
12. Who tend to have larger brains, better memories and clearer thinking
A. People who are healthy. B. People who are thin.
C. People who are unhealthy. D. People who are fat.
13. What do we learn from the experiment in paragraph 3
A. Those who were less fit had larger brains.
B. Those who were fitter had smaller brains.
C. Exercise helps people improve their memory.
D. Old people doing exercise improve memory better than young people.
14. Accord to Linda Clare, what kind of activity can NOT produce changes in brain structure and function
A. Walking. B. Singing.
C. Cycling. D. Running.
15. What’s the author’s purpose in writing the text
A. To tell you sport improves your brain power.
B. To introduce some good ways to keep healthy.
C To teach you how to best spend time in doing sports.
D. To introduce several ways to improve your memory.
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. B 15. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了运动不仅可以让人保持健康，还可以提高人们的脑力。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The research found that people who keep fit are more likely to have larger brains, better memories and clearer thinking.(研究发现，保持健康的人更有可能拥有更大的大脑、更好的记忆力和更清晰的思维)”可知，健康的人可能拥有更大的大脑、更好的记忆力和更清晰的思维。故选A项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“As they went through a three-month fitness program, they saw improvements in their memory.(当他们进行为期三个月的健身计划时，他们的记忆力有所改善)”可知，从实验中可以得知，锻炼有助于人们提高记忆力。故选C项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Moderate intensity aerobic activity such as walking, cycling or running can produce changes in brain structure and function.(中等强度的有氧运动，如步行、骑自行车或跑步，可以改变大脑结构和功能)”可知，步行、骑自行车或跑步可以改变大脑结构和功能，没有提及唱歌。故选B项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Scientists have found that the sport not only keeps people fit but also improves your brain power.(科学家已经发现，这项运动不仅能让人保持健康，还能提高你的脑力)”以及文章内容可知，本文主要介绍了运动不仅可以让人保持健康，还可以提高人们的脑力，作者写作的目的是告诉你，运动可以提高你的脑力。故选A项。

【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。本文主要讲述了奥运五环和旗帜的由来。
【36题详解】
考查形式主语。句意：人们普遍认为，奥运五环标志是法国人Pierre De Coubertin在1913年创造的。分析句子可知，句中空处是形式主语，真正的主语是that引导的从句，故填it。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：作为现代奥林匹克的创建人，他想要庆祝奥运会20周年，并选择了五环设计，这代表了五大洲参加奥运会。分析句子可知，空前是谓语动词want，固定搭配want to do……，意为“想要做……”，故填to celebrate。
【38题详解】
考查非限制性定语从句。句意：作为现代奥林匹克的创建人，他想要庆祝奥运会20周年，并选择了五环设计，这代表了五大洲参加奥运会。分析句子结构可知，空处引导的是非限制性定语从句，先行词是a design of five rings，指物，关系词在从句中作主语，that不能引导非限制性定语从句。故填which。
【39题详解】
考查动词时态和语态。句意：在1920年比利时奥运会上五环成为奥运会的官方标志。分析句子结构可知，空处需填动词在句中作谓语，根据句意可知，句中是在讲述过去发生的事，所以时态是一般过去时，且与主语是主动关系，故填became。
【40题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：Pierre de Coubertin认为五环相扣意味着五大洲在奥运会上竞争和他们的运动员在奥运会上的相遇。分析句子可知，空处所在句已有谓语，且空前没有连词连接，所以空处需填非谓语，分析句子结构，空处所填词在句中作定语，与逻辑主语the five continents 之间是主动关系，用现在分词。故填competing。
【41题详解】
考查副词。句意：事实上奥林匹克标志和旗帜的每一部分都以一种特殊的方式展示着奥运会的主要目的。分析句子结构，可知空处需填副词，作状语，又位于句首，故填Actually。
【42题详解】
考查不定冠词。句意：奥运旗帜，以及熟悉的五环，被用来作为和平，团结和共识的一种国际象征。分析句子结构，空后是单数名词，需填冠词，根据句意，可知是指泛指，需填不定冠词，又空后单词international首字母发音是元音。故填an。
【43题详解】
考查名词。句意：奥运旗帜，以及熟悉的五环，被用来作为和平，团结和共识的一种国际象征。分析句子结构，空前and表并列，连接并列成分，and前是名词，所以空处需填名词作介词as的宾语，agreement当“共识”讲时，是不可数名词，故填agreement。
【44题详解】
考查固定搭配。句意：旗帜的白色背景代表着和平与真理。分析句子及句意可知，句中运用了固定搭配stand for，意为“代表”。故填for。
【45题详解】
考查动词的时态和语态。句意：每届奥运会结束时，主办城市的市长会把奥运火炬传递给下一届奥运会主办城市的市长。分析句子可知，空处所在从句缺少谓语，所以空处需填动词，根据句中years later，可知定语从句中时态是一般将来时，且与主语the next Olympics是被动关系，用被动语态，故填will be held。

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。
Once there was a little girl named Emily. Although her singing was very pleasant to hear, lacking of courage, she never dared to sing in front of strangers.
One summer, the neighborhood where she lived would hold a singing competition. Her best friend, Lucy, came to invite her to participate in the competition, but Emily said, “I’m afraid to take part in it.” Her mother said, “It’s okay; just do it bravely.” Emily followed her mama’s advice and decided to give herself a try. The day came. Emily and Lucy went to the competition site. But she was too timid (胆小)to walk onto the stage. She had been waiting until others finished singing. She shakily (颤抖地)forced herself to stand on the stage. She started to sing,but her voice was so low. What’s worse, she was so nervous that she forgot the lyrics (歌词)after singing a few words. Being laughed at by others, embarrassed and shy, she ran away from the stage.
Some naughty boys ran after her and said, “Emily, coward (胆小鬼)!Emily, coward!” Emily didn’t argue with them. What she wanted was to go back home as quickly as she could. Finally, she rushed into the house, hugged her mom and cried sadly.
“Well, my poor girl, don’t cry. Tell me what happened to you,” asked her mom. Emily looked up at her mother and told her what she had experienced.
Listening to her, her mom cupped her face and said, “It doesn’t matter, girl. As long as you practice singing more in front of strangers, you will become braver little by little. So, my girl, don’t be beaten by a failure.You can go out to practice singing every day. No matter who is listening to you, go on singing and never stop. I believe there will be a harvest for you.”

Gradually, her courage became greater and greater, and the sound of her singing was also louder and louder. Months later, she could sing as she was walking.A naughty boy who had laughed at her before cried to her, “Emily, coward! Emily, coward!” However, she chose to ignore his behavior.
Going on singing, she walked into the park, where many people were singing and dancing. Hearing her beautiful voice, some stopped to listen to her singing and clapped for her. A grandma smiled to her and said, “Oh, little girl, you sing really well!” Emily said thanks to her. Emily felt pleased that she could sing confidently in front of strangers. The second year, the neighborhood held the singing competition again. This time, Emily walked onto the stage bravely, and her loud and beautiful voice of singing moved all the people. They all cheered for her, including those who had laughed at her. Her mother was delighted to see the timid girl became a brave one.
