I was 6 years old when my father told me we were leaving the Big Apple Circus (马戏团). Until that point, I had spent most of my life on the circus lot, playing with the other circus kids. The circus, by its nature, is one that has a loose structure. So the early years after my leaving the circus to sit in a classroom all day felt more like a prison.
But years later, I found areas that interested me. I took the skills I had learned from being onstage and applied them to broadcasting. And so when Boston’s news station WBUR offered me a job out of college, I jumped at the chance. Along the way, I found I really enjoyed the work. I became WBUR’s news reporter. The flexibility and adaptability I’d learned in the circus as a child helped me do my job naturally and easily in a stressful situation — whether it was a destructive tornado outside Boston, or the Boston Marathon bombings of 2013.
But then a serious infectious disease appeared. Suddenly, for the first time in my adult life, I went for a year without doing any shows. But it became clear to me that performing was what I truly wanted. For me, the circus symbolizes who I am. And stages have always been where I’ve felt the most free. Some people get nervous before they go onstage, but by assuming (扮演) the character of Jacques ze Whipper and drawing a stupid moustache on my face, all my social anxiety disappears.
Circus performances go beyond age, socioeconomic status (地位), and even language. It’s the type of performance where you can go anywhere in the world to entertain anyone — help anyone forget their troubles for 5, 10, and even 30 minutes. And most importantly, for me, it means coming home.
4. How did the author feel in the early years of school
A. Curious. B. Unfree. C. Loose. D. Impatient.
5. What do we know about the author’s job at WBUR
A. He did it for his father. B. He did it against his will.
C. He risked his neck doing it. D. He took to it like a duck to water.
6. What does the circus probably mean to the author
A. A means of living. B. A chance to go anywhere.
C. A part of his identity. D. A way to forget his troubles.
7. Why does the author write the text
A. To express his love for circus performances.
B. To stress the value of performing.
C. To share his personal experiences in a circus.
D. To discuss the problem of choosing a job.
C
In 1947 a group of famous people from the art world decided to hold an international festival of music, dance and theatre in Edinburgh. The idea was to reunite Europe after World War Ⅱ.
It quickly attracted famous names such as Alec Guinness, Richard Burton, Dame Margot Fonteyn and Marlene Dietrich as well as the big symphony orchestras (交响乐团). It became a fixed event every August and now attracts about 400,000 people yearly.
At the same time, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe (the Fringe) appeared as a challenge to the official festival. Eight theatre groups turned up uninvited in 1947, believing that everyone should have the right to perform, and they did so in a public house that had been disused for years.
Soon, groups of students firstly from the University of Edinburgh, and later from the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge, Durham and Birmingham were making the journey to the Scottish capital each summer to perform plays by little-known writers in small halls.
Today the Fringe, once less embraced, has far outgrown the festival with around 1,500 performances of music, dance and theatre on every one of the 21 days it lasts. And yet as early as 1959, with only 19 theatre groups performing, some said it was getting too big.
A paid administrator (管理人员) was first employed only in 1971, and today there are eight administrators working all year round and the number rises to 150 during August itself. In 2004 there were 200 places housing 1,695 shows by over 600 different groups from 50 different countries. More than 1.25 million tickets were sold.
8. Why did some famous people hold an international festival in 1947
A. To honor heroes of World War Ⅱ.
B. To introduce young theatre groups.
C. To attract great artists from Europe.
D. To bring Europe together again.
9. Why did some uninvited theatre groups come to Edinburgh
A. They came to take up a challenge.
B. They thought they were also famous.
C. They wanted to take part in the festival.
D. They owned a public house there.
10. What does the underlined word mean in paragraph 5
A. accepted. B. checked. C. allowed. D. controlled.
11 Why are the numbers mentioned in the last paragraph
A. To prove different groups have come to the festival.
B. To show administrators are busy in August.
C. To prove the tickets of the festival sell well.
D. To show the festival has grown rapidly.
D
The sun is setting, brightening your kids’ faces as they play in the waves. You reach for your phone for this perfect moment. But before you do, here’s a bit of surprising science: Taking photos is not the perfect way to keep memory as you think.
Taking too many pictures could actually harm the brain’s ability to keep memories, says Elizabeth Loftus, a psychology professor at the University of California, Irvine. So we get the photo but kind of lose the memory.
Photography “outsources” memories. It works in two ways: We either shake off the responsibility of remembering moments when taking pictures, or we’re so distracted (分散注意力的) by the process that we miss the moment altogether.
The first explanation is the loss of memory. People know that their camera is recording that moment, so they don’t try to remember. Similarly, if you write down someone’s phone number, you’re less likely to remember it offhand because your brain tells you there’s just no need. That’s all well and good — until that piece of paper goes missing.
The other is distraction. We’re distracted by the process of taking a photo — how we hold our phone, composing the photo, such as smiling faces, the background to our liking and clear image, all of which uses up our attention that could otherwise help us memorize.
However, taking photos can benefit memory — when done mindfully. While taking a photo may be distracting, the act of preparation by focusing on visual (视觉的) details around has some upsides. When people take the time to zoom in (拉近镜头) on specific things, memories become strengthened.
Another benefit is that we recall moments more accurately (准确的) with the photos. Memory has been reshaped with the help of new information and new experiences. Thus, photos or videos help us recall moments as if they really happened.
Memories die away without a visual record backing them up. Therefore, a photo is an excellent tool to help remember when done purposefully, which is worth exploring further.
12. What is the purpose of the first paragraph
A. To introduce the topic. B. To make us think of similar experience.
C. To show the interest in taking photos. D. To call on readers not to take photos.
13. Why does photography “outsource” memories
A. Taking photos is helpful for us to memorize.
B. Photos are more detailed than memories.
C. People depend more on photos to remember than their brains.
D. Many sources influence people’s memories during photo-taking.
14. What may likely be discussed next
A. Situations when taking photos is better. B. When distraction is most likely to happen.
C. How to stay focused while taking photos. D. How to use photo-taking to memorize better.
15. Which of the following could be the best title for the text
A. Photography or Memories
B. Photography Does Help to Memories
C. The Fewer Photos We Take, the Better We Will Remember
D. Remember the Moment and Take Photos Properly

根据短文内容，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。
With the cold weather drawing nearer, few people will choose swimming as a daily or usual activity. ____16____ Here come the reasons.
Good for your brain.
Swimming is one of the best activities you can do all year round, which benefits your body and your mind. Swimming has been found to increase blood flow to the brain, which leads to more oxygen. ____17____
Work your muscles.
Every time you swim, it is like doing a mini-resistance workout. Each kicks and pull works your muscles more than you could imagine, especially your arms, shoulders and gluteus — the muscles that are inactive all day when you’re sitting at your desk. _____18_____ So along with building fitness, it is a wonderful full body exercise.
Lift your spirits.
_____19_____ They can cause a positive feeling into your body which makes you happy. Swimming has been shown to reduce stress and tension. The repetition, movement and the breathing can help you to relax , and that’s why swimming is also regarded as a relaxing exercise.
_____20_____
While swimming is an individual sport, it is also very social. You can meet people from all walks of life when swimming. Have a chat in the lap pool, join a swimming club or get involved in social water sports to get to know people in your community. Besides, the great thing about swimming is that you can do it — rain or shine. Although your backyard pool, the river or beach cools down over winter, most inside swimming pools run heated pools year round, so you’ve got no excuse to stop swimming.
A. Benefit your body.
B. Meet new people.
C. These chemicals can control your thought and action.
D. Swimming also works your abs (腹肌) and will reduce your waist line.
E. Exercise gives off chemicals in your body called endorphins (内啡肽).
F. And that means you’re experiencing better memory and sharp mind.
G. However, swimming in winter is of great benefit in cold days.

It was dark and freezing cold outside though it was four o'clock in the afternoon. The wind kept blowing. At that time, the bell rang loudly, and everybody packed their schoolbags and got ready to go home. The teacher dismissed the students, and they walked orderly to the school gate.
David was in Class One, Grade Seven. His mother would come and pick him up from school but today she was absent. David wondered what had happened, but he was not worried at all. It usually took only ten minutes for his mother to get to school by riding an electric bike. David saw his best companion, Tommy, who was his deskmate. Tommy was waiting patiently for his mother as well. They began to talk freely and happily. David congratulated Tommy on his excellent performance in the last math exam. At the same time, Tommy thanked David, without whose help he couldn't have made such rapid progress. Five minutes later, Tommy's. mother picked up Tommy and they said goodbye to each other.
David had to put up with his moments of solitude. He had no choice but to wait until his mother came into his sight. However, half an hour passed, and there was no sign that his mother would come. David was determined to walk home.
On his way home, David could hardly see any passers-by. The trees shook with the wind and the leaves fell from them without making any noise. David was lost in thinking what was wrong with his mother. Some terrible thoughts jumped out of his mind. “Maybe an accident happened to her. Maybe she got hurt by some robbers. Maybe she was seriously ill. ”Little David burst into tears and quickened his step. He did not dare to think over the results. What he could do was pray for the safety of his mother and wish everything was all right.
Time slipped away like an arrow. 2 In the short distance, it was his beautiful house with a garden. “This must, be the worst experience in my life," David thought to himself and felt scared.

I was 6 years old when my father told me we were leaving the Big Apple Circus (马戏团). Until that point, I had spent most of my life on the circus lot, playing with the other circus kids. The circus, by its nature, is one that has a loose structure. So the early years after my leaving the circus to sit in a classroom all day felt more like a prison.
But years later, I found areas that interested me. I took the skills I had learned from being onstage and applied them to broadcasting. And so when Boston’s news station WBUR offered me a job out of college, I jumped at the chance. Along the way, I found I really enjoyed the work. I became WBUR’s news reporter. The flexibility and adaptability I’d learned in the circus as a child helped me do my job naturally and easily in a stressful situation — whether it was a destructive tornado outside Boston, or the Boston Marathon bombings of 2013.
But then a serious infectious disease appeared. Suddenly, for the first time in my adult life, I went for a year without doing any shows. But it became clear to me that performing was what I truly wanted. For me, the circus symbolizes who I am. And stages have always been where I’ve felt the most free. Some people get nervous before they go onstage, but by assuming (扮演) the character of Jacques ze Whipper and drawing a stupid moustache on my face, all my social anxiety disappears.
Circus performances go beyond age, socioeconomic status (地位), and even language. It’s the type of performance where you can go anywhere in the world to entertain anyone — help anyone forget their troubles for 5, 10, and even 30 minutes. And most importantly, for me, it means coming home.
4. How did the author feel in the early years of school
A. Curious. B. Unfree. C. Loose. D. Impatient.
5. What do we know about the author’s job at WBUR
A. He did it for his father. B. He did it against his will.
C. He risked his neck doing it. D. He took to it like a duck to water.
6. What does the circus probably mean to the author
A. A means of living. B. A chance to go anywhere.
C. A part of his identity. D. A way to forget his troubles.
7. Why does the author write the text
A. To express his love for circus performances.
B. To stress the value of performing.
C. To share his personal experiences in a circus.
D. To discuss the problem of choosing a job.

The flexibility and adaptability I’d learned in the circus as a child helped me do my job naturally and easily in a stressful situation — whether it was a destructive tornado outside Boston, or the Boston Marathon bombings of 2013.(因此，当波士顿的新闻电台WBUR给我一份大学毕业后的工作时，我欣然接受了这个机会。一路走来，我发现我真的很喜欢这份工作。我成了WBUR的新闻记者。我小时候在马戏团学到的灵活性和适应能力帮助我在紧张的情况下自然而轻松地完成工作——无论是波士顿郊外的破坏性龙卷风，还是2013年波士顿马拉松爆炸事件。)”可知，作者在WBUR工作时，能够在紧张的情况下自然而轻松地完成工作，由此可知，这份工作对作者而言如鱼得水，非常轻松。故选D。
【6题详解】

In 1947 a group of famous people from the art world decided to hold an international festival of music, dance and theatre in Edinburgh. The idea was to reunite Europe after World War Ⅱ.
It quickly attracted famous names such as Alec Guinness, Richard Burton, Dame Margot Fonteyn and Marlene Dietrich as well as the big symphony orchestras (交响乐团). It became a fixed event every August and now attracts about 400,000 people yearly.
At the same time, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe (the Fringe) appeared as a challenge to the official festival. Eight theatre groups turned up uninvited in 1947, believing that everyone should have the right to perform, and they did so in a public house that had been disused for years.
Soon, groups of students firstly from the University of Edinburgh, and later from the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge, Durham and Birmingham were making the journey to the Scottish capital each summer to perform plays by little-known writers in small halls.
Today the Fringe, once less embraced, has far outgrown the festival with around 1,500 performances of music, dance and theatre on every one of the 21 days it lasts. And yet as early as 1959, with only 19 theatre groups performing, some said it was getting too big.
A paid administrator (管理人员) was first employed only in 1971, and today there are eight administrators working all year round and the number rises to 150 during August itself. In 2004 there were 200 places housing 1,695 shows by over 600 different groups from 50 different countries. More than 1.25 million tickets were sold.
8. Why did some famous people hold an international festival in 1947
A. To honor heroes of World War Ⅱ.
B. To introduce young theatre groups.
C. To attract great artists from Europe.
D. To bring Europe together again.
9. Why did some uninvited theatre groups come to Edinburgh
A. They came to take up a challenge.
B. They thought they were also famous.
C. They wanted to take part in the festival.
D. They owned a public house there.
10. What does the underlined word mean in paragraph 5
A. accepted. B. checked. C. allowed. D. controlled.
11. Why are the numbers mentioned in the last paragraph
A. To prove different groups have come to the festival.
B. To show administrators are busy in August.
C. To prove the tickets of the festival sell well.
D. To show the festival has grown rapidly.
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. A 11. D
【解析】

【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“In 1947 a group of famous people from the art world decided to hold an international festival of music, dance and theatre in Edinburgh. The idea was to reunite Europe after World War Ⅱ.”（1947年，一群艺术界的名人决定在爱丁堡举办一个国际音乐、舞蹈和戏剧节。这个想法是为了在二战后重新团结欧洲。）可推知，一些名人在1947年举办一个国际节日是为了让欧洲再次团结起来。故选D项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Eight theatre groups turned up uninvited in 1947, believing that everyone should have the right to perform, and they did so in a public house that had been disused for years.”（1947年，八个剧团不请自来，他们认为每个人都应该有表演的权利，他们在一个已经废弃多年的酒吧里表演。）可推知，一些不请自来的剧团会来到爱丁堡是因为他们想参加这个节日。故选C项。
【10题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第五段中“…has far outgrown the festival with around 1,500 performances of music, dance and theatre on every one of the 21 days it lasts. And yet as early as 1959, with only 19 theatre groups performing, some said it was getting too big.”（在为期21天的音乐节中，每一天都有大约1500场音乐、舞蹈和戏剧表演，远远超过了音乐节。然而，早在1959年，只有19个剧团在表演，一些人说它太大了。）由此可知，此处为如今，一度不受欢迎的艺穗节已经远远超过了艺术节。故可猜测，划线单词embraced为“受欢迎，欣然接受”的意思，结合选项A项accepted“接受”意思一致。故选A项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“A paid administrator (管理人员) was first employed only in 1971, and today there are eight administrators working all year round and the number rises to 150 during August itself. In 2004 there were 200 places housing 1,695 shows by over 600 different groups from 50 different countries. More than 1.25 million tickets were sold.”（付费管理员在1971年才第一次被雇用，而今天有8名管理员全年工作，8月份这个数字就上升到150人。2004年，来自50个不同国家的600多个不同团体在200个地方举办了1695场演出。超过125万张门票售出。）可推知，最后一段提到了这些数字是为了表明节日发展迅速。故选D项。

The sun is setting, brightening your kids’ faces as they play in the waves. You reach for your phone for this perfect moment. But before you do, here’s a bit of surprising science: Taking photos is not the perfect way to keep memory as you think.
Taking too many pictures could actually harm the brain’s ability to keep memories, says Elizabeth Loftus, a psychology professor at the University of California, Irvine. So we get the photo but kind of lose the memory.
Photography “outsources” memories. It works in two ways: We either shake off the responsibility of remembering moments when taking pictures, or we’re so distracted (分散注意力的) by the process that we miss the moment altogether.
The first explanation is the loss of memory. People know that their camera is recording that moment so they don’t try to remember. Similarly, if you write down someone’s phone number, you’re less likely to remember it offhand because your brain tells you there’s just no need. That’s all well and good — until that piece of paper goes missing.
The other is distraction. We’re distracted by the process of taking a photo — how we hold our phone, composing the photo, such as smiling faces, the background to our liking and clear image, all of which uses up our attention that could otherwise help us memorize.
However, taking photos can benefit memory — when done mindfully. While taking a photo may be distracting, the act of preparation by focusing on visual (视觉的) details around has some upsides. When people take the time to zoom in (拉近镜头) on specific things, memories become strengthened.
Another benefit is that we recall moments more accurately (准确的) with the photos. Memory has been reshaped with the help of new information and new experiences. Thus, photos or videos help us recall moments as if they really happened.
Memories die away without a visual record backing them up. Therefore, a photo is an excellent tool to help remember when done purposefully, which is worth exploring further.
12. What is the purpose of the first paragraph
A. To introduce the topic. B. To make us think of similar experience.
C. To show the interest in taking photos. D. To call on readers not to take photos.
13. Why does photography “outsource” memories
A. Taking photos is helpful for us to memorize.
B. Photos are more detailed than memories.
C. People depend more on photos to remember than their brains.
D. Many sources influence people’s memories during photo-taking.
14. What may likely be discussed next
A. Situations when taking photos is better. B. When distraction is most likely to happen.
C. How to stay focused while taking photos. D. How to use photo-taking to memorize better.
15. Which of the following could be the best title for the text
A. Photography or Memories
B. Photography Does Help to Memories
C. The Fewer Photos We Take, the Better We Will Remember
D. Remember the Moment and Take Photos Properly
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. D 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了拍太多照片不利于人们铭记瞬间的美好，作者鼓励人们应有目的有计划地拍照。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“The sun is setting, brightening your kids’ faces as they play in the waves. You reach for your phone for this perfect moment. But before you do, here’s a bit of surprising science: Taking photos is not the perfect way to keep memory as you think.(太阳落山了，孩子们在海浪中玩耍，他们的脸变得明亮起来。为了这个完美的时刻，你伸手去拿手机。但在你这么做之前，这里有一点令人惊讶的科学：拍照并不是你认为的保持记忆的完美方式)”可知，本段描写了海边游玩的美好画面，人们会习惯性地拿出手机拍照留念，但拍照并不是人们所以为的保存记忆的完美方式，从而引出文章的主题。故选A。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Photography “outsources” memories. It works in two ways: We either shake off the responsibility of remembering moments when taking pictures, or we’re so distracted (分散注意力的) by the process that we miss the moment altogether.(摄影“外包”的记忆。它在两方面起作用：我们要么在拍照时摆脱了记住时刻的责任，要么在拍照过程中分心，以至于完全错过了那个时刻)”可推知，拍照“外包”了回忆是因为人们太过于依赖相机而不是自己的大脑。故选C。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句“Therefore, a photo is an excellent tool to help remember when done purposefully, which is worth exploring further.(因此，照片是帮助记忆的极好工具，如果是有目的的，这是值得进一步探索的)”可推知，接下来文章可能会探讨如何照相以便能更好地记忆。故选D。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章主要介绍了拍太多的照片不利于人们铭记瞬间的美好，作者鼓励人们应有目的有计划地拍照。由此可推知，D项“记住当下，合理拍照”概括了文章大意，是本文的最佳标题。故选D。

【18题详解】
根据上一句“Each kicks and pull works your muscles more than you could imagine, especially your arms, shoulders and gluteus — the muscles that are inactive all day when you’re sitting at your desk.(每一次踢腿和拉扯都比你想象的更能锻炼你的肌肉，尤其是你的手臂、肩膀和臀肌——当你整天坐在办公桌前时，这些肌肉都不活跃)”可知，游泳可以锻炼手臂、肩膀和臀部肌肉。由此可知，选项D. Swimming also works your abs (腹肌)and will reduce your waist line.(游泳也能锻炼你的腹肌，还能缩小你的腰围)补充说明了游泳还能锻炼腹肌，缩小腰围，承接上文；下一句“So along with building fitness, it is a wonderful full body exercise.(所以除了健身，它还是一种很好的全身锻炼)”对游泳的锻炼功效给出了总结，语意衔接合理。故选D。
【19题详解】
根据下一句“They can cause a positive feeling into your body which makes you happy.(它们可以给你的身体带来一种积极的感觉，让你快乐)”可知，空处应提到了某种可以让人感到快乐的物质。由此可知，选项E. Exercise gives off chemicals in your body called endorphins (内啡肽).(运动在你体内释放一种叫做内啡肽的化学物质)符合语境，下一句中的“They”指代选项E中的“chemicals”。故选E。
【20题详解】
根据第二、三、四段主题句可知，空处应为祈使句，为段落主题句，故答案选自A或B。根据下文中“While swimming is an individual sport, it is also very social. You can meet people from all walks of life when swimming. (虽然游泳是一项个人运动，但它也是一项社交运动。在游泳的时候，你可以遇到各行各业的人)”可知，本段主要说明了游泳可以结识很多朋友。由此可知，选项B. Meet new people(结识新人)符合语境，适合作本段主题句。故选B。
