It’s no secret now that the more time we spend on social media, the more we feel dissatisfied with ourselves. We tend to compare ourselves to influences and celebrities- so it’s easy to understand how that can affect our confidence.
But, how often have you found yourself comparing your life to your friends Engaging with social media shared by our friends can be more damaging than looking at content shared by celebrities, new research has found.
The study looking at how social media affects body image found that any social media engagement was significantly associated with lower “appearance satisfaction”. Additionally, it found that engaging with content posted by people the participants knew was more than twice as damaging as looking at content posted by strangers, including celebrities.
Viren Swami, Professor of Social Psychology at Anglia Ruskin University, believes this is partly because we know it’s hard to attain the lives of celebrities or influences, but when we’re comparing ourselves to our friends, it feels like we should- or could-live the way they do.
“One possible explanation is that people may perceive a post showing appearance as being much more attainable if it comes from someone they know, adding expectation or pressure on the person engaging in the post, ” he said. “At the same time, people may be more critically engaged with posts by the likes of models and celebrities, and therefore perceive the images they share to be more unrealistic."
This is not just confined to body image though. We all have one area in our lives that triggers(触 发)us. Maybe you’ve been searching for a new job for months and you find yourself on social media, envying your school friend who just landed their dream role. Maybe. . .
All this is to say the obvious: we only see part of people’s lives -and if it’s getting you down, you’re probably comparing your insides to other people’s outsides. Everyone has their struggles and life is indeed not perfect for anyone. So, put down your phone, get offline, be thankful and try to live your own life.
14. What did the new study find
A. Social media invites unfavorable comments.
B. Friends’ posts affect us more than celebrities’.
C. Celebrities have a negative influence on our life.
D. Body image causes more concern than social life.
15. Why are we more likely to compare with our friends according to Swami
A. They serve as role models.
B. We know the way they live. ,
C. Their lifestyles are accessible.
D. We are curious about their life.
16. What does the underlined word in Paragraph 6 probably mean
A. Restricted.
B. Related.
C. Devoted.
D. Exposed.
17. What does the author suggest people do
A. Find your dream and fight for it.
B. Stop comparing and be yourself.
C. Be grateful and lead a perfect life.
D. Stop complaining and get down to work.
C
As much as I love watching Olympic diving, I’ve never understood why athletes hurry off to the showers and then proceed to relax in a hot tub (热水浴池) after each dive. They’re already wet. They’re only in the pool for a handful of seconds, so it’s not like they need to get cleaned up. And doesn’t taking a shower serve the same purpose as sitting in a hot tub
Actually, that’s what Olympic divers usually do between dives as they know very well about the importance of warm-ups and cool-downs. So, what’s the actual reason
As it turns out, showers and hot tubs are used pretty interchangeably by the swimming pool. However, there is a need for both. First, let’s start with why divers need to take a shower between dives. It has to do with body temperature and keeping their muscles relaxed.As you can imagine, practicing dives in the pool, then having to keep your body warm in a shower, and then jumping off a 10-meter platform and into cold water couldn’t be comfortable for anyone. Going back and forth between these warm and cool temperatures can cause a diver’s muscles to tense or cramp up(痉挛)，which can lead to injuries to the muscles. Showers allow an Olympic diver to recover and prevent that.
In that way, showers and hot tubs serve the same purpose. A hot tub is generally used if you have a bit more time between dives and have already stretched. The shower walls on the pool deck can typically provide enough space for more divers at the same time, and they’re especially helpful for athletes who need to stretch or who only have a few minutes be tween dives. Just like Olympic swimmers depend on thick clothes to keep their muscles warm, Olympic divers rely on these methods to stay loose. If you ask me, it’s not a bad way to pass the time!
18. What does the underlined word “proceed” in Paragraph 1 mean
A. Fail. B. Continue. C. Stop. D. Afford.
19. Why do the athletes need showers after diving
A. To fully clean their body.
B. To rest and wait for the results.
C. To avoid possible muscle injuries.
D To stop themselves from catching a cold.
20. What does the last paragraph suggest
A. The shower walls are designed for divers in the final round.
B. Olympic swimmers need to stay warm using hot tubs.
C. Athletes usually do some activities to pass the time.
D. Hot tubs are as important as showers for divers.
21. What is the author’s purpose in writing this text
A. To tell us the difference between diving and swimming.
B. To explain some little-known knowledge about divers.
C. To compare cold showers with the hot bath.
D. To provide some diving advice for us.
D
I start my workday early, parking myself in front of my home computer and often forgetting to get up for hours. But one thing I try to do every day is take a ten-minute walk around midday.
Walking at lunchtime is a smart thing to do, a new study finds. This doesn’t seem like news. After all, we’ve known forever that doing exercise is good for us. But as The New York Times points out, those fitness studies typically looked at the effects of exercise plans in the long run. This new study looks at changes that happen more quickly, from one day to the next or even from this hour to the next hour.
For the study, researchers gathered a group of mostly sedentary(久坐的) office workers in the UK. All were out of shape, but otherwise emotionally and physically healthy. Researchers asked them to take 30-minute lunchtime walks, three days a week for 10 weeks. The volunteers were also asked to install apps on their phones, so that the researchers could send the volunteers questions after they walked. Then the researchers used those answers to judge how the volunteers were feeling about life and work, and to measure their feelings about everything from stress and tension to motivation.
When the researchers compared the volunteers’ answers on the afternoons when they walked to those on the afternoons they didn’t walk, there was quite a difference. On the days when they had a lunchtime walk, the volunteers said they felt less stressed, more energetic and more relaxed versus(与……相对) on the days when they didn’t walk.
Unfortunately, the researchers said many of the volunteers didn’t believe they’d be able to continue walking once the study ended, mainly because they were expected to work through
their lunch breaks. It’s an understandable response, but a sad one.
22. How does the new study differ from other fitness studies
A. It calls on people to have a walk after lunch.
B. It focuses on the short-term effects of walking.
C. It mainly pays attention to sedentary office workers.
D. It aims at studying the relationship between exercise and health.
23. Why were the volunteers required to install apps on their phones
A. To record their time spent online.
B. To know how long they walked.
C. To prevent them from getting lost.
D. To respond to the researchers’ questions.
24 What is the finding of the new study
A. Lunchtime walks can soon improve people’s mood.
B. Office workers usually have little time to go for a walk.
C. A sedentary lifestyle is linked to an increased risk of disease.
D. Walking brings more advantages to people than other exercise.
25. What can we infer about the volunteers from the last paragraph
A. They will spend more time walking.
B. Some of them tend to be more outgoing.
C. Most of them will perform better at work.
D. They may stop lunchtime walks due to work pressure.

Camping Tips &Tricks for a Fun Trip
Many people idealize camping trips as being this easy, effortless encounter with destinations rich with natural landscapes and nights under the stars twinkling in the sky above. ____26____ That’s why we’ve prepared the best camping tips for you!
Plan accordingly, and then plan again. When you’re out in the middle of nowhere, you have to be equipped to nature’s challenges. ____27____ Therefore, a plan for unexpected weather changes is essential to a successful camping trip. For example, consider packing extra suppliers like blankets. While that might seem like a huge inconvenience, the biggest and real issue occurs when you need something you don’t have.
Know what you need. ____28____ Not all beginner campers will need the top-of-the-line, latest supplies. But you should have at least the basics!

You’d better create a convenient checklist that lays out everything that you should consider.
____29____ When you’re far away from the major conveniences we rely upon like an urgent care center, police stations, and emergency rooms, you should always remember that safety is your first priority! ____30____ A first aid kit is a great starting point, but it’s certainly not the end of maximizing your safety efforts. Depending on where you plan to camp, you’ll want to grab these items that cover you in most emergency situations: a pocket knife, a fire starter, and a safety whistle.
Ready to go camping Now you know what to expect and how to prepare for your next camping trip, so you actually have fun—rain or shine!
A. Always choose a safe campsite.
B. Never leave home without safety in mind.
C We encourage you to create a safety supply kit.
D. Camping doesn’t have to be complicated or expensive.
E. A clear 3-day forecast can easily shift into a sudden heavy rain.
F. To maximize your comfort, always bring appropriate clothes for cold and rain.

1. Don’t _________. You will get used to _________ in the new city soon.
A. lose your heart; live B. lose heart; live
C. lose your heart; living D. lose heart; living
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查固定短语。句意：别灰心。你很快就会习惯新城市的生活。第一空，固定短语lose heart灰心；第二空，固定短语get used to (doing) sth.意为“习惯于；适应”，to为介词，所以第二空应用动名词形式living作宾语，故选D项。
2. I’m going to visit the factory__________your brother worked a few years ago.
A. that B. which C. in which D. from which
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句。句意：我将去参观你哥哥几年前工作过的工厂。空格处引导的是限制性定语从句，先行词为the factory，关系词在后面的定语从句中作逻辑上的地点状语，“在工厂”是in a factory，因此用关系副词where或者in which引导定语从句。故选C。
3. It was dark, and we could not ______ who was coming along the road.
A. make out B. see through C. watch over D. search for
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查短语辨析。句意：天黑了，我们看不清是谁沿路走来。A.make out 辨认出，看清；B. see through 看穿；C. watch over 照看；D. search for搜索。根据“It was dark”可知，句意表示天黑了看不清（make out）。故选A项。
4. They _________with their parents next month because their own house is to be rebuilt.
A. are living B. would live C. are about to live D. were going to live
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查时态。句意：下个月他们要和父母住在一起，因为他们自己的房子要重建。根据句意，他们自己的房子要重建，所以下个月要和父母住一起，表示按计划要发生的事，且谓语动词为“live”，用现在进行时表示将来，且照应主语“They”，故应为复数。故选A。
5. I suppose there used to be a car factory in this little town, _________
A. didn’t there B. did there C. do I D. don’t I
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查反意疑问句。句意：我想这个小镇以前有一家汽车厂，对吗 此句是含有宾语从句的复合句，当主句的主语是第一人称的单数I时，谓语动词是think，suppose，believe，imagine等，反义疑问句的疑问部分和从句的时态、人称保持一致。There be句型有used to修饰时，它的反义疑问句有两种问法：didn’t there/usedn’t there。故选A。
6. Opposite to the park________two bookstores.
A. is B. are C. be D. have
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查倒装句和主谓一致。句意：公园对面有两家书店。分析句子可知，该句为地点副词短语位于句首的完全倒装，主语two bookstores为复数形式，故谓语动词也应为复数形式，还原应为Two bookstores are opposite to the park。故选B项。
7. It was only when the car pulled up in front of our house ___________we saw Lily in the passenger seat.
A. which B. that
C. when D. where
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查强调句。句意：只有当汽车在我们房子前停下来我们才看到在乘客位置的莉莉。这里考查强调句，强调句型结构为：It is/ was + 被强调部分(通常是主语、宾语或状语)+ that/ who(当强调主语且主语指人)+ 其他部分。本题强调时间状语only when the car pulled up in front of our house。故选B。
点睛：本题考查强调句，要求有学生掌握好强调句的常用句型以及相关知识的能力。分析句子时首先要看清楚结构，It is / was…开头而后面跟句子时就要看它是不是强调句了。强调句有一个特点：拿掉It was/is…that…后不影响整个句子的完整性，则是强调句。判断完是不是强调句后再根据强调的部分是人还是物来选择连接词that或者是who。
8. —It is not going to rain, _________
—_________. It’s a good day for picnic.
A. is it; Yes, it is B. isn’t it; Yes, it is
C. is it; No, it isn’t D. isn’t it; No, it isn’t
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查反义疑问句。句意：——不会下雨，是吗？——是的，不会下雨。是个野餐的好日子。分析句子结构可知，这里考查反义疑问句的问答。空1，当陈述部分是否定时，反义疑问句应为肯定，故应为is it；空2，根据句意“是个野餐的好日子”可知，不会下雨，所以应该根据事实来回答，用No, it isn’t。故选C。
9. To help Ms. Wong control her blood pressure, the doctor recommended that she_________salt for one month.
A. cut away B. cut off C. cut in D. cut out
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查动词短语辨析。句意：为了帮助黄女士控制血压，医生建议她一个月不吃盐。A. cut away切除，通过切割去除受损或患病区域的全部或部分；B. cut off切断，使某物与其他物体分离，通常是通过剪切、锯断等方式；C. cut in插嘴；D. cut out删除，停止。根据上文“help Ms. Wong control her blood pressure”此处指停止吃盐，故选D。
10. He seemed _________ his hometown several years ago.
A. to leave B. to be leaving C. to have been leaving D. to have left
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：他似乎几年前就离开了家乡。分析句子可知，本句构成固定句式sb seem to do“某人似乎……”，此处缺少不定式；根据seemed以及句意“几年前离开”可知，“离开”这个动作发生在seemed之前，此处应使用不定式的完成式。故选D项。

It’s no secret now that the more time we spend on social media, the more we feel dissatisfied with ourselves. We tend to compare ourselves to influences and celebrities- so it’s easy to understand how that can affect our confidence.
But, how often have you found yourself comparing your life to your friends Engaging with social media shared by our friends can be more damaging than looking at content shared by celebrities, new research has found.
The study looking at how social media affects body image found that any social media engagement was significantly associated with lower “appearance satisfaction”. Additionally, it found that engaging with content posted by people the participants knew was more than twice as damaging as looking at content posted by strangers, including celebrities.
Viren Swami, Professor of Social Psychology at Anglia Ruskin University, believes this is partly because we know it’s hard to attain the lives of celebrities or influences, but when we’re comparing ourselves to our friends, it feels like we should- or could-live the way they do.
“One possible explanation is that people may perceive a post showing appearance as being much more attainable if it comes from someone they know, adding expectation or pressure on the person engaging in the post, ” he said. “At the same time, people may be more critically engaged with posts by the likes of models and celebrities, and therefore perceive the images they share to be more unrealistic."
This is not just confined to body image though. We all have one area in our lives that triggers(触 发)us. Maybe you’ve been searching for a new job for months and you find yourself on social media, envying your school friend who just landed their dream role. Maybe. . .
All this is to say the obvious: we only see part of people’s lives -and if it’s getting you down, you’re probably comparing your insides to other people’s outsides. Everyone has their struggles and life is indeed not perfect for anyone. So, put down your phone, get offline, be thankful and try to live your own life.
14. What did the new study find
A. Social media invites unfavorable comments.
B. Friends’ posts affect us more than celebrities’.
C. Celebrities have a negative influence on our life.
D. Body image causes more concern than social life.
15. Why are we more likely to compare with our friends according to Swami
A. They serve as role models.
B. We know the way they live. ,
C. Their lifestyles are accessible.
D. We are curious about their life.
16 What does the underlined word in Paragraph 6 probably mean
A. Restricted.
B. Related.
C. Devoted.
D. Exposed.
17. What does the author suggest people do
A. Find your dream and fight for it.

(Anglia Ruskin大学社会心理学教授Viren Swami认为，这部分是因为我们知道很难获得名人或影响力的生活，但当我们将自己与朋友进行比较时，感觉我们应该或者可以像他们那样生活)”可知根据Swam的说法，我们更容易与朋友进行比较是因为他们的生活方式更容易见得到，故选C。
【16题详解】
词义猜测题。文章划线单词下一句讲到“We all have one area in our lives that triggers(触 发)us.

(我们的生活中都有一个领域触发了我们。也许你已经找了好几个月的新工作，你在社交媒体上发现自己，羡慕你的学校朋友，他刚刚找到了他们梦想中的角色。)”可知划线单词所在句子的意思是：但这不仅仅局限于身体形象。所以第六段中带下划线的单词可能的意思是“受限制的”，故选A。

As much as I love watching Olympic diving, I’ve never understood why athletes hurry off to the showers and then proceed to relax in a hot tub (热水浴池) after each dive. They’re already wet. They’re only in the pool for a handful of seconds, so it’s not like they need to get cleaned up. And doesn’t taking a shower serve the same purpose as sitting in a hot tub
Actually, that’s what Olympic divers usually do between dives as they know very well about the importance of warm-ups and cool-downs. So, what’s the actual reason
As it turns out, showers and hot tubs are used pretty interchangeably by the swimming pool. However, there is a need for both. First, let’s start with why divers need to take a shower between dives. It has to do with body temperature and keeping their muscles relaxed.As you can imagine, practicing dives in the pool, then having to keep your body warm in a shower, and then jumping off a 10-meter platform and into cold water couldn’t be comfortable for anyone. Going back and forth between these warm and cool temperatures can cause a diver’s muscles to tense or cramp up(痉挛)，which can lead to injuries to the muscles. Showers allow an Olympic diver to recover and prevent that.
In that way, showers and hot tubs serve the same purpose. A hot tub is generally used if you have a bit more time between dives and have already stretched. The shower walls on the pool deck can typically provide enough space for more divers at the same time, and they’re especially helpful for athletes who need to stretch or who only have a few minutes be tween dives. Just like Olympic swimmers depend on thick clothes to keep their muscles warm, Olympic divers rely on these methods to stay loose. If you ask me, it’s not a bad way to pass the time!
18. What does the underlined word “proceed” in Paragraph 1 mean
A. Fail. B. Continue. C. Stop. D. Afford.
19. Why do the athletes need showers after diving
A. To fully clean their body.
B. To rest and wait for the results.
C. To avoid possible muscle injuries.
D. To stop themselves from catching a cold.
20. What does the last paragraph suggest
A. The shower walls are designed for divers in the final round.
B. Olympic swimmers need to stay warm using hot tubs.
C. Athletes usually do some activities to pass the time.
D. Hot tubs are as important as showers for divers.
21. What is the author’s purpose in writing this text
A. To tell us the difference between diving and swimming.
B. To explain some little-known knowledge about divers.
C. To compare cold showers with the hot bath.
D. To provide some diving advice for us.
【答案】18. B 19. C 20. D 21. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要是告诉人们跳水运动员跳水完后淋浴的主要原因。
【18题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句“I’ve never understood why athletes hurry off to the showers and then proceed to relax in a hot tub (热水浴池) after each dive.”（我一直不明白，为什么运动员每次潜水后都匆匆忙忙地去洗澡，然后proceed 在热水浴缸里放松。）可知，游泳运动员跳水完后会去洗澡，之后接着在热水浴池放松身体，可推知，划线词此处指“继续”含义，故选B。
【19题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“As you can imagine, practicing dives in the pool, then having to keep your body warm in a shower, and then jumping off a 10-meter platform and into cold water couldn’t be comfortable for anyone. Going back and forth between these warm and cool temperatures can cause a diver’s muscles to tense or cramp up(痉挛)，which can lead to injuries to the muscles. Showers allow an Olympic diver to recover and prevent that.”（你可以想象，在游泳池里练习潜水，然后在淋浴时保持身体温暖，然后从10米高的平台上跳入冷水中，对任何人来说都不会舒服。在这些温暖和凉爽的温度之间来回穿梭可能导致潜水员的肌肉紧张或抽筋，这可能导致肌肉受伤。淋浴可以让奥林匹克跳水运动员恢复并防止这种情况发生。）可知，运动员跳水，因为水的暖热温度的交替，可能会使运动员的肌肉受伤，而跳水结束后的淋浴对运动员而言，可以使运动员避免肌肉受伤情况的发生。故选C。
【20题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句“In that way, showers and hot tubs serve the same purpose. ”（这样一来，淋浴和热水浴池就起到了同样的作用。）结合倒数第二段最后一句“ Showers allow an Olympic diver to recover and prevent that.”（淋浴可以让奥林匹克跳水运动员恢复并防止这种情况发生。）可知，本段承接前文，主要说明热水浴池和淋浴的重要性是同样的。故选D。
【21题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段第一句“I’ve never understood why athletes hurry off to the showers and then proceed to relax in a hot tub (热水浴池) after each dive.”（我一直不明白，为什么运动员每次潜水后都匆匆忙忙地去洗澡，然后继续在热水浴缸里放松。）第二段最后一句“So, what’s the actual reason ”（那么，真正的原因是什么？）可知，作者写本篇文章主要是告诉人们跳水运动员跳水完后淋浴的主要原因。故选B。
D
I start my workday early, parking myself in front of my home computer and often forgetting to get up for hours. But one thing I try to do every day is take a ten-minute walk around midday.
Walking at lunchtime is a smart thing to do, a new study finds. This doesn’t seem like news. After all, we’ve known forever that doing exercise is good for us. But as The New York Times points out, those fitness studies typically looked at the effects of exercise plans in the long run. This new study looks at changes that happen more quickly, from one day to the next or even from this hour to the next hour.
For the study, researchers gathered a group of mostly sedentary(久坐的) office workers in the UK. All were out of shape, but otherwise emotionally and physically healthy. Researchers asked them to take 30-minute lunchtime walks, three days a week for 10 weeks. The volunteers were also asked to install apps on their phones, so that the researchers could send the volunteers questions after they walked. Then the researchers used those answers to judge how the volunteers were feeling about life and work, and to measure their feelings about everything from stress and tension to motivation.
When the researchers compared the volunteers’ answers on the afternoons when they walked to those on the afternoons they didn’t walk, there was quite a difference. On the days when they had a lunchtime walk, the volunteers said they felt less stressed, more energetic and more relaxed versus(与……相对) on the days when they didn’t walk.
Unfortunately, the researchers said many of the volunteers didn’t believe they’d be able to continue walking once the study ended, mainly because they were expected to work through
their lunch breaks. It’s an understandable response, but a sad one.
22. How does the new study differ from other fitness studies
A. It calls on people to have a walk after lunch.
B. It focuses on the short-term effects of walking.
C. It mainly pays attention to sedentary office workers.
D. It aims at studying the relationship between exercise and health.
23. Why were the volunteers required to install apps on their phones
A. To record their time spent online.
B. To know how long they walked.
C. To prevent them from getting lost.
D. To respond to the researchers’ questions.
24. What is the finding of the new study
A. Lunchtime walks can soon improve people’s mood.
B. Office workers usually have little time to go for a walk.
C. A sedentary lifestyle is linked to an increased risk of disease.
D. Walking brings more advantages to people than other exercise.
25. What can we infer about the volunteers from the last paragraph
A. They will spend more time walking.
B. Some of them tend to be more outgoing.
C. Most of them will perform better at work.
D. They may stop lunchtime walks due to work pressure.
【答案】22. B 23. D 24. A 25. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。介绍的是一项新的研究，该研究发现在午餐后，短暂的散步是一件明智的事情，这能快速改善你的情绪。
【22题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“But as The New York Times points out, those fitness studies typically looked at the effects of exercise plans in the long run. (但正如《纽约时报》指出的那样，这些健身研究通常着眼于长期锻炼计划的影响。 )”以及“This new study looks at changes that happen more quickly, from one day to the next or even from this hour to the next hour. (这项新研究着眼于发生得更快的变化，从一天到第二天，甚至从这个小时到下一个小时。)”可知，该研究主要是关注的是散步对一个人在每天之间甚至是每个小时间的发生的变化，也就是对人们的短期影响。故选B项。
【23题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“The volunteers were also asked to install apps on their phones, so that the researchers could send the volunteers questions after they walked. Then the researchers used those answers to judge how the volunteers were feeling about life and work, and to measure their feelings about everything from stress and tension to motivation. (志愿者还被要求在手机上安装应用程序，以便研究人员可以在志愿者走路后向他们发送问题。然后，研究人员使用这些答案来判断志愿者对生活和工作的感受，并衡量他们对从压力和紧张到动机等一切事物的感受。)”可知，志愿者要求安装app是为了在散步后发送问题给志愿者，让他们回答，然后根据他们的回答做出分析和判断。故选D项。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“On the days when they had a lunchtime walk, the volunteers said they felt less stressed, more energetic and more relaxed versus(与………相对) on the days when they didn’t walk. (在午餐时间散步的日子里，志愿者们说，与不走路的日子相比，他们感到压力更小，更有活力，更放松。)”可知，午餐时间散步与不散步的日子进行比较发现，午餐后散步可以让他们感觉压力变小，精力更充沛，更轻松，由此可知，午餐散步能改变人的情绪。故选A项。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Unfortunately, the researchers said many of the volunteers didn’t believe they’d be able to continue walking once the study ended, mainly because they were expected to work through their lunch breaks. (不幸的是，研究人员表示，许多志愿者认为一旦研究结束，他们就不能继续餐后散步，主要是因为他们需要在午休时间工作。)”可知，志愿者认为在研究结束后，他们可能在午餐休息时间去工作，而不是继续餐后散步，由此可推断，志愿者很可能由于工作原因而停止午餐后散步。故选D项。

Camping Tips &Tricks for a Fun Trip
Many people idealize camping trips as being this easy, effortless encounter with destinations rich with natural landscapes and nights under the stars twinkling in the sky above. ____26____ That’s why we’ve prepared the best camping tips for you!
Plan accordingly, and then plan again. When you’re out in the middle of nowhere, you have to be equipped to nature’s challenges. ____27____ Therefore, a plan for unexpected weather changes is essential to a successful camping trip. For example, consider packing extra suppliers like blankets. While that might seem like a huge inconvenience, the biggest and real issue occurs when you need something you don’t have.
Know what you need. ____28____ Not all beginner campers will need the top-of-the-line, latest supplies. But you should have at least the basics! That includes a decent tent with enough room for people camping with you, a good sleeping bag appropriate for the season, and other supplies like food and water. You’d better create a convenient checklist that lays out everything that you should consider.
____29____ When you’re far away from the major conveniences we rely upon like an urgent care center, police stations, and emergency rooms, you should always remember that safety is your first priority! ____30____ A first aid kit is a great starting point, but it’s certainly not the end of maximizing your safety efforts. Depending on where you plan to camp, you’ll want to grab these items that cover you in most emergency situations: a pocket knife, a fire starter, and a safety whistle.
Ready to go camping Now you know what to expect and how to prepare for your next camping trip, so you actually have fun—rain or shine!
A. Always choose a safe campsite.
B. Never leave home without safety in mind.
C. We encourage you to create a safety supply kit.
D. Camping doesn’t have to be complicated or expensive.
E. A clear 3-day forecast can easily shift into a sudden heavy rain.
F. To maximize your comfort, always bring appropriate clothes for cold and rain.
G. But for beginner campers, those expectations can rapidly turn into a mess of reality.
【答案】26. G 27. E 28. D 29. B 30. C

【28题详解】

【29题详解】
根据后文“When you’re far away from the major conveniences we rely upon like an urgent care center, police stations. and emergency rooms, you should always remember that safety is your first priority!(当你远离我们所依赖的主要便利设施，如紧急护理中心、警察局和急诊室时，你应该永远记住，安全是你的第一要务！)”可知，该段强调的是“露营的安全”，设空句作为主旨句，应突出“安全”。选项B“Never leave home without safety in mind.(永远不要离开家而不考虑安全。)”符合题意，可以作为小标题。故选B项。
【30题详解】
根据前文“When you’re far away from the major conveniences we rely upon like an urgent care center, police stations. and emergency rooms, you should always remember that safety is your first priority!(当你远离我们所依赖的主要便利设施，如紧急护理中心、警察局和急诊室时，你应该永远记住，安全是你的第一要务！)”和下文“A first aid kit is a great starting point, but it’s certainly not the end of maximizing your safety efforts.(急救箱是一个很好的起点，但它肯定不是最大限度地提高安全努力的终点。)”可知，作者在这里强调了外出的安全，并且提到了急救箱。由此推知，空处内容应与急救箱有关，选项C“We encourage you to create a safety supply kit.(我们鼓励您创建一个安全供应包。)”符合分析。故选C项。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章用几个例子证明了英语中的表达有时候令人费解。
【46题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：你有没有问过自己，为什么人们常常在学习英语方面有困难？固定搭配have trouble (in) doing sth.意为“做某事有困难”符合句意，设空处应填动词learn的动名词learning作宾语。故填learning。
【47题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意：我从未想过这个问题，直到有一天我五岁的儿子问我hamburger(汉堡包)里是否有ham(火腿)。设空处在whether引导的宾语从句中作谓语动词，根据空前“until one day my five-year-old son asked me”可知，此句陈述过去发生的事情，此从句用一般过去时，连接词whether引导的宾语从句是there be句型，从句主语是ham，所以谓语动词用第三人称单数形式。故填was。
【48题详解】
考查副词。句意：这让我突然意识到eggplant(茄子)里也没有egg(鸡蛋)。设空处修饰动词made作状语，设空处填所给词sudden的副词suddenly。故填suddenly。
【49题详解】
考查不定冠词。句意：这让我陷入思考，对于学习者而言英语到底可以有多疯狂。句中language是可数名词，此处表示“一门疯狂的语言”，为泛指，用不定冠词；空后crazy以辅音音素开头，设空处填不定冠词a。故填a。
【50题详解】
考查固定短语。句意：例如，旅行时，我们坐汽车或出租车时是说坐在里面（in），但是坐火车或公共汽车时却要说坐在上面（on）！ 固定短语for example“例如”符合句意，设空处填for，设空处置于句首，首字母大写。故填For。
【51题详解】
考查形容词最高级。句意：即使是世界上最短小的单词也会让人费解。根据空前的“Even the”以及空后“in the world”，可知此处指“甚至是世界上最小的单词”，用形容词small的最高级修饰名词words，设空处填smallest。故填smallest。
【52题详解】
考查形容词。句意：即使是世界上最短小的单词也会让人费解。设空处在句中作表语，修饰名词words，设空处应填-ing结尾形容词puzzling，表示“令人迷惑的，令人费解的”。故填puzzling。
【53题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：你也会对一门语言独有的疯狂感到惊奇，在这种语言里，房子烧成灰烬时，可以说burn up(字面意思是“烧上去”)，也可以说burn down(字面意思是“烧下去”)。句子分析可知，“in ____8____ a house can burn up as it burns down”为“介词+关系代词”引导的限制性定语修饰先行词a language，设空处指代先行词在从句中作介词in的宾语，先行词a language指物，介词后面用关系代词which引导此定语从句。故填which。
【54题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意：英语是人创造的，不是计算机发明的，它反映了人类的创造力。设空处在句中作谓语动词，“创造（invent）英语”这一动作发生在过去，此句陈述过去的事实，用一般过去时态；句子主语English和动词invent之间是被动关系，此句谓语用一般过去时的被动语态，English作主语，谓语动词用第三人称单数。故填was invented。
【55题详解】
考查并列连词。句意：这就是为什么当我wind up my watch(给表上发条时)，它开始走，但当我wind up this passage(将本文收尾)时这篇文章结束原因。“when I wind up my watch, it starts”与“when I wind up this passage, it ends.”之间为转折关系，设空处填表示转折关系的并列连词but构成并列句。故填but。

【答案】Dear Amy,
I am really sorry to hear that you are very upset about gaining weight. I quite understand how you feel, since I have been there before. Therefore, I am writing to offer you some tips on how to get back into shape.
To begin with, I strongly recommend that you should have a balanced diet, because you are what you eat! Say no to junk food and add more healthy foods to your meals, such as vegetables, fish and dairy products. In addition, if I were you, I would begin to work out on a regular basis. Start out small by jogging for 30 minutes or doing 30 push-ups every day. Most importantly, always think about fitness rather than weight. There is no point in comparing yourself with the slim people on TV all the time.
Every small change in your lifestyle can make a big difference. Just take the first step towards health and fitness! Wish you luck!
Yours,
Li Hua
