A
Various sports attract fans for different reasons: Spectator sports draw even more fans who just love to watch. Here are some of the most beloved sports worldwide.
Hockey-2 billion fans
Hockey, both on ice and on a field, wins a following of two billion enthusiastic fans worldwide. Field hockey is mainly played in Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia, while ice hockey is particularly popular in Canada and the US, where kids grow up playing pond hockey. Unlike ice hockey, field hockey usually does not involve body contact in the form of checking and hitting.
Football-4 billion fans
Football, better known as soccer in the US, is by far the most popular sport in the world. Experts estimate that the origin (起源) of football may go as far back as two thousand years, beginning in ancient China during the Han Dynasty. One major reason for football’s global popularity is that unlike other sports that require expensive equipment, all you need to play football is a ball and your feet.
Volleyball-900 million fans
Volleyball pits two teams across a high net, each attempting to smash the ball onto the opponent’s floor. A popular variant, beach volleyball, is competed on sand by pairs rather than the regular six players per team. The crowd appeal of beach volleyball has grown greatly in recent years.
Tennis-1 billion fans
An estimated one billion people worldwide follow professional tennis tournaments and matches. In tennis, players on both sides of a net try to hit a ball with a racket so that it either goes past their opponent (对手) or bounces twice on their opponent’s side of the court to score points. Tennis superstars like Rafael Nadal, and Serena Williams are now household names around the world, with huge international fan bases.
1. Which sport attracts the most fans according to the text
A. Volleyball. B. Hockey. C. Football. D. Tennis.
2. What makes football popular all over the world
A. Its long history. B. Its great convenience.
C. Its unique origin. D. Its huge fan bases.
3. Which statement about the four sports is true
A. Playing ice hockey involves body contact.
B. Soccer is American people's favorite sport.
C. Beach volleyball has attracted the most sports fans recently.
D. A tennis player loses one point if his ball goes past his opponent.

In 1867, Caroline Shawk Brooks and her husband, Samuel, had a farm in Arkansas. Life on the farm was not easy. From sunrise to sunset, Caroline and Samuel milked cows, gardened, and picked cotton. This left Caroline no time for her dream of becoming an artist.
Time was not the only problem. Money was a worry too. The cotton crops were failing. What could Caroline and Samuel do
Caroline decided to make butter (黄油) from their cows’milk and sell it at market. But other farms also made and sold butter. How would Caroline set her butter apart from the rest This is where Caroline’s artistic talent came in. To draw attention to her butter, she began making small butter sculptures (雕塑). She used many different tools, such as butter paddles (搅拌器的浆叶), broom straws, and tree sticks. She also put the butter in a shallow tin pan, which sat in a larger tin pan filled with ice to stop the butter sculpture from melting.
Caroline’s butter sculptures were a hit. Before long, she was displaying them at fairs and exhibitions. One of her largest butter sculptures was a life-size statue called A Study in Butter. It was transported all the way to Paris for the 1878 world’s fair.
Caroline also made sculptures using marble (大理石). She eventually opened a studio in New York City where she created many marble sculptures, some of which were shown at the 1893 world’s fair in Chicago.
But Caroline never stopped making butter art. She considered butter a superior material to work with. At the 1893 fair, she also displayed her butter techniques with a sculpture of Christopher Columbus.
Caroline Shawk Brooks died in St. Louis, Missouri, in 1913. She is remembered as the first known American butter sculptor.
4. Why did Caroline make butter sculptures

A. Caroline made her art works all by machine.
B. The sculptures were all made from cow's milk.
C. Ice was used to keep the butter sculptures in shape.
D. Caroline stopped making sculptures after being world-famous.

【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Caroline decided to make butter (黄油) from their cows’milk and sell it at market. But other farms also made and sold butter. How would Caroline set her butter apart from the rest This is where Caroline’s artistic talent came in. To draw attention to her butter, she began making small butter sculptures (雕塑).(卡洛琳决定用他们家的牛奶制作黄油,并在市场上出售。但其他农场也生产和销售黄油。卡洛琳是怎么把她的黄油和其他的区别开来的 卡洛琳的艺术天赋就在这里发挥了。为了吸引人们对她的黄油的关注,她开始制作小型黄油雕塑)”可知,卡洛琳做黄油雕塑是为了让她的黄油在市场上脱颖而出。故选B项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“She used many different tools, such as butter paddles (搅拌器的浆叶), broom straws, and tree sticks. She also put the butter in a shallow tin pan, which sat in a larger tin pan filled with ice to stop the butter sculpture from melting.(她使用了许多不同的工具,比如黄油桨、扫帚秆和树枝。她还把黄油放在一个浅锡锅里,浅锡锅放在一个更大的装满冰的锡锅里,以防止黄油雕塑融化)”可知,冰被用来保持黄油雕塑的形状。故选C项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Caroline’s butter sculptures were a hit. Before long, she was displaying them at fairs and exhibitions. One of her largest butter sculptures was a life-size statue called A Study in Butter. It was transported all the way to Paris for the 1878 world’s fair.(卡洛琳的黄油雕塑很受欢迎。没过多久,她就在集市和展览会上展出了。她最大的黄油雕塑之一是真人大小的雕像,名为《黄油的研究》。它被一路运到巴黎参加1878年的世界博览会)”以及第五段“Caroline also made sculptures using marble (大理石). She eventually opened a studio in New York City where she created many marble sculptures, some of which were shown at the 1893 world’s fair in Chicago.(卡洛琳还用大理石做雕塑。她最终在纽约开了一家工作室,在那里她创作了许多大理石雕塑,其中一些在1893年芝加哥世界博览会上展出)”以及最后一段“She is remembered as the first known American butter sculptor.(她被认为是美国第一个著名的黄油雕刻家)”可知,卡罗琳能用黄油和大理石进行雕刻,且被广泛认可,所以是有才华的且成功的。故选A项。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据倒数第二段“But Caroline never stopped making butter art. She considered butter a superior material to work with. At the 1893 fair, she also displayed her butter techniques with a sculpture of Christopher Columbus.(但卡洛琳从未停止制作黄油艺术品。她认为黄油是一种绝好的材料。在1893年的博览会上,她还用克里斯托弗·哥伦布的雕塑展示了她的黄油技术)”以及最后一段“Caroline Shawk Brooks died in St. Louis, Missouri, in 1913. She is remembered as the first known American butter sculptor.(卡洛琳·肖克·布鲁克斯于1913年在密苏里州的圣路易斯去世。她被认为是美国第一个著名的黄油雕刻家)”纵观全文可知,本文主要讲述了Caroline Shawk Brooks 是美国第一位黄油雕塑家,她在农场生活中发展了她的艺术才能,并在展览会和世界博览会上展示了她的作品,所以D项“The Butter Artist.(黄油艺术家)”是本文最好的标题。故选D项。
C
We’re all familiar with the feeling --it usually starts with a little itch (痒) deep inside the nose. Next comes the awareness that it’s going to happen. Then, achoo! Air erupts out of our nose at an astonishing 100 miles per hour, bursting out whatever was causing the itch. The high-pressure from a sneeze (喷嚏) has led some people to think that if we didn’t close our eyes, they could pop out.
For decades, countless people have tested the theory. Upon finding it almost impossible to keep their eyes open while sneezing, many have concluded that the theory must be true. If you try it yourself, the chances are that your eyes are still where they belong. That’s because they are held firmly by the muscles in the eyes. Furthermore, increased pressure from sneezing actually builds up in the blood vessels (血管), which may cause vessels to break but is less likely to cause the eyeballs to pop out.
Why did this theory start anyway Some say that it all began in 1882, when the New York Times reported an incident of a woman who burst one of her eyeballs during a sudden sneeze. Others point at the fact that different high-pressure experiences, such as childbirth, can cause blood vessels in the eyes to pop. Still others say that closing our eyes when we sneeze shows the theory is true. Scientists, on the other hand, explain that we close our eyes for the same reason we sneeze -- to prevent unwanted things from entering our bodies. Either way, as far as we know, there are no actual recorded cases of anyone losing an eyeball because of a sneeze, so don’t lose any sleep over it!
8. What is mainly talked about in paragraph 1
A. The cause of a sneeze.
B. The danger of sneezing.
C. The importance of a sneeze.
D. The experience of sneezing.
9. Why won’t eyeballs pop out while people are sneezing
A. Because they are fixed firmly in the eyes.
B. Because high pressure builds up in the eyes.
C. Because they are held strongly by blood vessels.
D. Because increased pressure prevents them from popping out.
10. What can we infer from the text
A. Sneezes usually cause an itchy nose.
B. People sneeze to burst out unwanted things.
C. The high pressure caused by a sneeze will be released through breathing.
D. People close their eyes when sneezing to stop their eyeballs from popping out.
11. Where is the text most likely from
A. A research paper. B. A biology textbook.
C. A guidebook. D. A magazine.
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. B 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。打喷嚏产生的高压让一些人认为,如果我们不闭上眼睛,它们就会弹出来,文章用一些研究来表明没有任何实际的记录显示有人因为打喷嚏而失去了一个眼球,所以我们对此不用担心。
【8题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“We’re all familiar with the feeling --it usually starts with a little itch (痒) deep inside the nose. Next comes the awareness that it's going to happen. Then, achoo! Air erupts out of our nose at an astonishing 100 miles per hour, bursting out whatever was causing the itch. The high-pressure from a sneeze (喷嚏) has led some people to think that if we didn't close our eyes, they could pop out.(我们都很熟悉这种感觉——通常开始于鼻子深处有点痒。接下来是意识到它将要发生。然后,阿嚏!空气以惊人的每小时100英里的速度从我们的鼻子喷出,喷出引起瘙痒的任何东西。打喷嚏产生的高压让一些人认为,如果我们不闭上眼睛,它们就会弹出来。)”可知,第一段主要介绍了打喷嚏的经历,故选D。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“If you try it yourself, the chances are that your eyes are still where they belong. That’s because they are held firmly by the muscles in the eyes. (如果你自己试试,很可能你的眼睛还在它们该在的地方。那是因为它们被眼睛里的肌肉牢牢地抓住了。)”可知,人们打喷嚏时眼球不会突出来是因为它们牢牢地固定在眼睛里。故选A。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Scientists, on the other hand, explain that we close our eyes for the same reason we sneeze -- to prevent unwanted things from entering our bodies. (另一方面,科学家解释说,我们闭上眼睛的原因和打喷嚏的原因一样——是为了防止不想要的东西进入我们的身体。)”可知,人们打喷嚏是为了防止不想要的东西进入我们的身体,由此可推知,人们打喷嚏是为了喷出不想要的东西。故选B。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,尤其是第一段中“The high-pressure from a sneeze (喷嚏) has led some people to think that if we didn’t close our eyes, they could pop out.(打喷嚏产生的高压让一些人认为,如果我们不闭上眼睛,它们就会弹出来。)”和最后一段中“Either way, as far as we know, there are no actual recorded cases of anyone losing an eyeball because of a sneeze, so don’t lose any sleep over it!(不管怎样,据我们所知,没有任何实际的记录显示有人因为打喷嚏而失去了一个眼球,所以不要因此而失眠!)”可知,打喷嚏产生的高压让一些人认为,如果我们不闭上眼睛,它们就会弹出来,文章用一些研究来表明没有任何实际的记录显示有人因为打喷嚏而失去了一个眼球,所以我们对此不用担心。结合选项“A. A research paper.(一篇研究论文);B. A biology textbook.(生物教科书);C. A guidebook.(一本旅游指南);D. A magazine.(一本杂志)”可知,本文属于科普类知识,最有可能出现在杂志上,故选D。
D
It’s 1: 45 a.m, and 21-year-old Thomas Murphy is studying for an important exam. To stay awake, he’s had two cups of coffee in the last three hours and is now downing a popular energy drink which also has caffeine.
Caffeine is present in many of the foods and drinks we consume (消耗), but is it good for us Charles Czeisler, a scientist and sleep expert at Harvard Medical School, believes that caffeine causes us to lose sleep. “Without enough sleep — the typical eight hours -the human body will not work at its best, physically, mentally, or emotionally.” Too often, Czeisler says, we consume caffeine to stay awake, which later makes it impossible for us to get the rest we need.
A number of scientists believe that regular caffeine use causes physical dependence. Heavy caffeine users show similar behaviors. For example, they get mild to severe headaches, or they feel tired or sad when they can’t have a caffeinated drink. To reduce or stop these feelings, users must consume caffeine, which is characteristic of drug addiction.
Despite these concerns the general opinion in the scientific field is that caffeine is not dangerous when one or two small cups of coffee per day are consumed. Furthermore, a lot of current research goes against long-held negative beliefs about caffeine, and suggests that it may, in fact, have health benefits. For example, studies have shown that caffeine can help ease pain and help improve one’s mood. Research has also shown that some caffeinated drinks can help the body fight a number of illnesses, including certain types of cancer.
Caffeine’s behavioral effects are real, but most often mild. Getting that burst of energy, of course, is why many of the world’s most popular drinks contain caffeine. Whether it’s a student drinking coffee before class or a businessperson enjoying tea with lunch, humankind’s favorite stimulant (兴奋剂) is at work every day, all over the world.
12. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “downing” in paragraph 1
A. Holding. B. Decreasing. C. Drinking. D. Waking.
13. Which statement would sleep expert Charles Czeisler probably agree with
A. The type of caffeine will affect people’s sleep.
B. Heavy caffeine consumption will cause drug addiction.
C. It’s a good idea to consume caffeine if people want to stay energetic.
D. Regular caffeine use will make it difficult for people to get enough sleep.
14. What is the text mainly about
A. The risks of caffeine intake. B. The effects of consuming caffeine.
C. Healthy and unhealthy caffeine products. D. Recent changes in caffeine consumption.
15. What is the author’s attitude towards caffeine consumption
A. Worried. B. Doubtful. C. Objective. D. Unconcerned.
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了咖啡因在世界各地受到欢迎,然而很多人对于咖啡因是否有副作用持有怀疑态度,但是适量饮用还是会带给人们一定的好处。
【12题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“To stay awake, he’s had two cups of coffee in the last three hours and is now”以及后文“a popular energy drink which also has caffeine”可知,托马斯·墨菲在过去的三个小时里喝了两杯咖啡,现在正在喝一种很受欢迎的能量饮料,其中也含有咖啡因。故划线词意思是“喝”。故选C。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Too often, Czeisler says, we consume caffeine to stay awake, which later makes it impossible for us to get the rest we need.(Czeisler说,我们经常摄入咖啡因来保持清醒,这使得我们无法得到所需的休息)”可知,睡眠专家Charles Czeisler可能会同意经常摄入咖啡因会使人们难以获得足够的睡眠。故选D。
【14题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段的“but is it good for us (但这对我们有好处吗 )”和倒数第二段“ Furthermore, a lot of current research goes against long-held negative beliefs about caffeine, and suggests that it may, in fact, have health benefits. (此外,目前的许多研究都反驳了长期以来人们对咖啡因的负面看法,并表明它实际上可能对健康有益。)”结合文章可知,本文主要讲述了咖啡因在世界各地受到欢迎,然而很多人对于咖啡因是否有副作用持有怀疑态度,但是适量饮用还会带给人们一定的好处。可知,这篇文章的主要内容是摄入咖啡因的影响。故选B。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“A number of scientists believe that regular caffeine use causes physical dependence.(许多科学家认为,经常摄入咖啡因会导致身体依赖)”;第四段“Despite these concerns, the general opinion in the scientific field is that caffeine is not dangerous when one or two small cups of coffee per day are consumed.(尽管存在这些担忧,但科学界的普遍观点是,每天喝一到两小杯咖啡,咖啡因是没有危险的)”以及最后一段“Caffeine’s behavioral effects are real, but most often mild.(咖啡因对行为的影响是真实的,但大多数情况下是温和的)”可推知,作者主要引用了科学家等专业人士对咖啡因摄入的看法和研究,且提到了咖啡因大多数情况下是温和的,故作者对咖啡因摄入的态度是客观的。故选C。

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Various sports attract fans for different reasons: Spectator sports draw even more fans who just love to watch. Here are some of the most beloved sports worldwide.
Hockey-2 billion fans
Hockey, both on ice and on a field, wins a following of two billion enthusiastic fans worldwide. Field hockey is mainly played in Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia, while ice hockey is particularly popular in Canada and the US, where kids grow up playing pond hockey. Unlike ice hockey, field hockey usually does not involve body contact in the form of checking and hitting.
Football-4 billion fans
Football, better known as soccer in the US, is by far the most popular sport in the world. Experts estimate that the origin (起源) of football may go as far back as two thousand years, beginning in ancient China during the Han Dynasty. One major reason for football’s global popularity is that unlike other sports that require expensive equipment, all you need to play football is a ball and your feet.
Volleyball-900 million fans
Volleyball pits two teams across a high net, each attempting to smash the ball onto the opponent’s floor. A popular variant, beach volleyball, is competed on sand by pairs rather than the regular six players per team. The crowd appeal of beach volleyball has grown greatly in recent years.
Tennis-1 billion fans
An estimated one billion people worldwide follow professional tennis tournaments and matches. In tennis, players on both sides of a net try to hit a ball with a racket so that it either goes past their opponent (对手) or bounces twice on their opponent’s side of the court to score points. Tennis superstars like Rafael Nadal, and Serena Williams are now household names around the world, with huge international fan bases.
1. Which sport attracts the most fans according to the text
A. Volleyball. B. Hockey. C. Football. D. Tennis.
2. What makes football popular all over the world
A. Its long history. B. Its great convenience.
C. Its unique origin. D. Its huge fan bases.
3 Which statement about the four sports is true
A. Playing ice hockey involves body contact.
B. Soccer is American people's favorite sport.
C. Beach volleyball has attracted the most sports fans recently.

In 1867, Caroline Shawk Brooks and her husband, Samuel, had a farm in Arkansas. Life on the farm was not easy. From sunrise to sunset, Caroline and Samuel milked cows, gardened, and picked cotton. This left Caroline no time for her dream of becoming an artist.
Time was not the only problem. Money was a worry too. The cotton crops were failing. What could Caroline and Samuel do
Caroline decided to make butter (黄油) from their cows’milk and sell it at market. But other farms also made and sold butter. How would Caroline set her butter apart from the rest This is where Caroline’s artistic talent came in. To draw attention to her butter, she began making small butter sculptures (雕塑). She used many different tools, such as butter paddles (搅拌器的浆叶), broom straws, and tree sticks. She also put the butter in a shallow tin pan, which sat in a larger tin pan filled with ice to stop the butter sculpture from melting.
Caroline’s butter sculptures were a hit. Before long, she was displaying them at fairs and exhibitions. One of her largest butter sculptures was a life-size statue called A Study in Butter. It was transported all the way to Paris for the 1878 world’s fair.
Caroline also made sculptures using marble (大理石). She eventually opened a studio in New York City where she created many marble sculptures, some of which were shown at the 1893 world’s fair in Chicago.
But Caroline never stopped making butter art. She considered butter a superior material to work with. At the 1893 fair, she also displayed her butter techniques with a sculpture of Christopher Columbus.
Caroline Shawk Brooks died in St. Louis, Missouri, in 1913. She is remembered as the first known American butter sculptor.

We’re all familiar with the feeling --it usually starts with a little itch (痒) deep inside the nose. Next comes the awareness that it’s going to happen. Then, achoo! Air erupts out of our nose at an astonishing 100 miles per hour, bursting out whatever was causing the itch. The high-pressure from a sneeze (喷嚏) has led some people to think that if we didn’t close our eyes, they could pop out.
For decades, countless people have tested the theory. Upon finding it almost impossible to keep their eyes open while sneezing, many have concluded that the theory must be true. If you try it yourself, the chances are that your eyes are still where they belong. That’s because they are held firmly by the muscles in the eyes. Furthermore, increased pressure from sneezing actually builds up in the blood vessels (血管), which may cause vessels to break but is less likely to cause the eyeballs to pop out.
Why did this theory start, anyway Some say that it all began in 1882, when the New York Times reported an incident of a woman who burst one of her eyeballs during a sudden sneeze. Others point at the fact that different high-pressure experiences, such as childbirth, can cause blood vessels in the eyes to pop. Still others say that closing our eyes when we sneeze shows the theory is true. Scientists, on the other hand, explain that we close our eyes for the same reason we sneeze -- to prevent unwanted things from entering our bodies. Either way, as far as we know, there are no actual recorded cases of anyone losing an eyeball because of a sneeze, so don’t lose any sleep over it!
8. What is mainly talked about in paragraph 1
A. The cause of a sneeze.
B. The danger of sneezing.
C. The importance of a sneeze.
D. The experience of sneezing.
9. Why won’t eyeballs pop out while people are sneezing
A. Because they are fixed firmly in the eyes.
B. Because high pressure builds up in the eyes.
C. Because they are held strongly by blood vessels.
D. Because increased pressure prevents them from popping out.
10. What can we infer from the text
A. Sneezes usually cause an itchy nose.
B. People sneeze to burst out unwanted things.
C. The high pressure caused by a sneeze will be released through breathing.
D. People close their eyes when sneezing to stop their eyeballs from popping out.
11. Where is the text most likely from
A. A research paper. B. A biology textbook.
C. A guidebook. D. A magazine.
D
It’s 1: 45 a.m, and 21-year-old Thomas Murphy is studying for an important exam. To stay awake, he’s had two cups of coffee in the last three hours and is now downing a popular energy drink which also has caffeine.
Caffeine is present in many of the foods and drinks we consume (消耗), but is it good for us Charles Czeisler, a scientist and sleep expert at Harvard Medical School, believes that caffeine causes us to lose sleep. “Without enough sleep — the typical eight hours -the human body will not work at its best, physically, mentally, or emotionally.” Too often, Czeisler says, we consume caffeine to stay awake, which later makes it impossible for us to get the rest we need.
A number of scientists believe that regular caffeine use causes physical dependence. Heavy caffeine users show similar behaviors. For example, they get mild to severe headaches, or they feel tired or sad when they can’t have a caffeinated drink. To reduce or stop these feelings, users must consume caffeine, which is characteristic of drug addiction.
Despite these concerns, the general opinion in the scientific field is that caffeine is not dangerous when one or two small cups of coffee per day are consumed. Furthermore, a lot of current research goes against long-held negative beliefs about caffeine, and suggests that it may, in fact, have health benefits. For example, studies have shown that caffeine can help ease pain and help improve one’s mood. Research has also shown that some caffeinated drinks can help the body fight a number of illnesses, including certain types of cancer.
Caffeine’s behavioral effects are real, but most often mild. Getting that burst of energy, of course, is why many of the world’s most popular drinks contain caffeine. Whether it’s a student drinking coffee before class or a businessperson enjoying tea with lunch, humankind’s favorite stimulant (兴奋剂) is at work every day, all over the world.
12. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “downing” in paragraph 1
A. Holding. B. Decreasing. C. Drinking. D. Waking.
13. Which statement would sleep expert Charles Czeisler probably agree with
A. The type of caffeine will affect people’s sleep.
B. Heavy caffeine consumption will cause drug addiction.
C. It’s a good idea to consume caffeine if people want to stay energetic.
D. Regular caffeine use will make it difficult for people to get enough sleep.
14. What is the text mainly about
A. The risks of caffeine intake. B. The effects of consuming caffeine.
C. Healthy and unhealthy caffeine products. D. Recent changes in caffeine consumption.
15. What is the author’s attitude towards caffeine consumption
A. Worried. B. Doubtful. C. Objective. D. Unconcerned.
