Max reads more than anyone he knows. He loves to read during all of his free time. His friends laugh at him because he would rather read than play video games but his parents and his teachers are proud of him. They say reading is important, and it will help him learn about the world around him. They also tell him it is a good habit.
One day Max was reading a magazine article about volcanos(火山). He told his friends all about volcanos and what causes them to erupt. The very next week, the teacher started a science project about volcanoes. Guess who everyone wanted in their project group! Max’s friends weren’t laughing at him anymore.
Max ended up being in a group with Liz, Anna and Josh. The work was to create a poster board with information about volcanoes and to build a volcano model. Max made copies of the magazine article about volcanoes so his project partners could read about them too. They also went to the library to look for more information about volcanos.
The group met at Anna’s house that night to organise the information and decide what they wanted to put on the poster board. They all asked Max what he thought was most important. Then they decided together to do what Max said. The next night they met at Josh’s house to build their volcano. They used cardboard and modeling clay. First they made a volcano shape with the cardboard, and then they covered the shape in brown and red clay.
The volcano looked great. Max, Liz, Anna and Josh were very proud of their hard work. When they turned in their project, their teacher was proud too. Thanks to Max’s good habit they came an A +on both parts of the project.

Travelling plays an important part in making us feel relaxed and happy. It also brings good changes in our life and keeps us alive and active. Travelling gives us practical experience of things we have studied in the books. So a person who does not travel at all does not find any meaning in the name of Ganga River. However, if he has travelled to this place, he can truly relate everything he has studied and will always remember each and every detail of that place.
Nowadays, many people like travelling as they want to explore the world and watch everything they have read about. And this seems to be quite true as practical knowledge is more important and effective (有效的). People like to visit historical places present in different parts of the world and collect information on the same to write books and stories.
Travelling has become easier due to (由于) advancement in technology and transportation (交通). Earlier people used to travel by road or sea and it took many days to travel from one place to another. However, now the situation has changed and people travel to far off places within hours and minutes — thanks to well-built roads and airplanes.
People travel for different purposes, some travel for further education while others travel to relax and enjoy. Many people take a break from their busy schedule and go for a vacation, which makes them feel pleased and energetic (充满活力的).
Many writers and painters travel to different places to experience some of the best things of nature and express them in the form of paintings or books. People also travel for business purposes so as to make money from their business. Students travel for educational purposes. Everyone has a unique reason to travel. Therefore, travelling is an important part of human life and it provides knowledge and offers all kinds of benefits (好处) to mankind.
28. What does the author want to say by mentioning the Ganga River
A. The Ganga river is a good place to visit.
B. Travelling brings good changes in our life.
C. Visitors fail to find the meaning of the Ganga river.
D. People should travel to experience the things in the books.
29. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about
A. The traffic in earlier times.
B. The time spent on travelling.
C. Changes in means of transportation.
D. The reasons why travelling has become easier.
30. What can we know from the last two paragraphs
A. Different people have different reasons to travel.
B. Businessmen always travel for a vacation.
C. Writers travel to sell their books.
D. Painters love travelling the most.
31. What does the author think of travelling
A. Useful but expensive. B. Important but difficult.
C. Meaningful and necessary. D. Pleasant and safe.

If you want to improve your memory, you need to know how your brain works. You might be surprised to hear that your lifestyle habits might be making it difficult for you to correctly record each piece of information, experience, or learning.
It would appear that the secret to improving your memory is really simple. It’s to take breaks. As a matter of fact, the brain has more limited (有限的) energy resources than you probably think. Therefore, it tires quickly and its levels of attention begin to drop after about 30 to 45 minutes.
The hippocampus (海马体) is the area of your brain that’s responsible for consolidating (巩固) your short-term memories in the long term. Furthermore, for this consolidation to be possible, there must be an connection with different areas of the cerebral cortex (大脑皮层). At the present time, we know that, for best connectivity (连接), we must rest. Therefore, factors such as tiredness, bad feelings, or stress make it difficult to connect one area to the other.
Michaela Dewar, a researcher at the University of Edinburgh in the United Kingdom, conducted a study with other experts to understand how to improve memory consolidation processes. What they found was that something as simple as taking breaks for between 9 and 15 minutes improves memory, both in healthy people and in those with neurological damage (神经系统受损).
However, there’s one small detail that’s important. The rest must be a real rest. In other words, you should go to a quiet space and give up anything that takes your attention away. This includes not having your cellphone nearby. The secret to improving your memory requires you to rest for between 10 and 15 minutes leaving your mind completely empty.
Your lifestyle plays an extremely important role in the way your memory functions (运转). Rest isn’t wasting time. In fact, allowing yourself small breaks is good for your health and well-being.
32. What is the secret to improving memory
A. Forming good habits. B. Having breaks.
C. Recording every details. D. Learning about brain.
33. What factor may influence the connection between different areas of cerebral cortex
A. Happiness. B. Excitement. C. Sadness. D. Satisfaction.
34. What does the underlined word “conducted” in Paragraph 4 mean
A. Organised. B. Produced. C. Began. D. Found.
35. Where is the text most probably taken from
A. A textbook. B. A course plan. C. A dictionary. D. A science report.

On November 27th last year, I was waiting to check out at a local store.
The clerk(售货员) was very busy because it was Thanksgiving Day. Besides usual snacks and daily necessities, people were buying kinds of food and flowers. It was about 5 p. m. and still light outside, but people seemed to be hurrying back to their cars. As it was the rush hour, with people anxious to get home from work, few of the people in line responded(回应) to the clerk’s greetings(问候). Even fewer people wished the clerk a nice evening.
Surprisingly, one elderly woman who was paying for ice cream and some snacks smiled at the clerk who was taking what seemed to be the woman’s last 20 dollars and 21 cents. The elderly customer nodded in the direction of the flowers and said to the clerk, “I hope someone will bring you some flowers tonight.” The clerk smiled, saying a bit regretfully, “That would be nice, but I don’t think it’s likely to happen. My husband and I both have to work till midnight today.”
Hearing that, the customer seemed to be lost in thought. She accepted her bag, thanked the clerk and then headed towards her old car outside the store.
注意：

Travelling plays an important part in making us feel relaxed and happy. It also brings good changes in our life and keeps us alive and active. Travelling gives us practical experience of things we have studied in the books. So a person who does not travel at all does not find any meaning in the name of Ganga River. However, if he has travelled to this place, he can truly relate everything he has studied and will always remember each and every detail of that place.
Nowadays, many people like travelling as they want to explore the world and watch everything they have read about. And this seems to be quite true as practical knowledge is more important and effective (有效的). People like to visit historical places present in different parts of the world and collect information on the same to write books and stories.
Travelling has become easier due to (由于) advancement in technology and transportation (交通). Earlier people used to travel by road or sea and it took many days to travel from one place to another. However, now the situation has changed and people travel to far off places within hours and minutes — thanks to well-built roads and airplanes.
People travel for different purposes, some travel for further education while others travel to relax and enjoy. Many people take a break from their busy schedule and go for a vacation, which makes them feel pleased and energetic (充满活力的).
Many writers and painters travel to different places to experience some of the best things of nature and express them in the form of paintings or books. People also travel for business purposes so as to make money from their business. Students travel for educational purposes. Everyone has a unique reason to travel. Therefore, travelling is an important part of human life and it provides knowledge and offers all kinds of benefits (好处) to mankind.

If you want to improve your memory, you need to know how your brain works. You might be surprised to hear that your lifestyle habits might be making it difficult for you to correctly record each piece of information, experience, or learning.
It would appear that the secret to improving your memory is really simple. It’s to take breaks. As a matter of fact, the brain has more limited (有限的) energy resources than you probably think. Therefore, it tires quickly and its levels of attention begin to drop after about 30 to 45 minutes.
The hippocampus (海马体) is the area of your brain that’s responsible for consolidating (巩固) your short-term memories in the long term. Furthermore, for this consolidation to be possible, there must be an connection with different areas of the cerebral cortex (大脑皮层). At the present time, we know that, for best connectivity (连接), we must rest. Therefore, factors such as tiredness, bad feelings, or stress make it difficult to connect one area to the other.
Michaela Dewar, a researcher at the University of Edinburgh in the United Kingdom, conducted a study with other experts to understand how to improve memory consolidation processes. What they found was that something as simple as taking breaks for between 9 and 15 minutes improves memory, both in healthy people and in those with neurological damage (神经系统受损).
However, there’s one small detail that’s important. The rest must be a real rest. In other words, you should go to a quiet space and give up anything that takes your attention away. This includes not having your cellphone nearby. The secret to improving your memory requires you to rest for between 10 and 15 minutes leaving your mind completely empty.
Your lifestyle plays an extremely important role in the way your memory functions (运转). Rest isn’t wasting time. In fact, allowing yourself small breaks is good for your health and well-being.
32. What is the secret to improving memory
A. Forming good habits. B. Having breaks.
C. Recording every details. D. Learning about brain.
33. What factor may influence the connection between different areas of cerebral cortex
A. Happiness. B. Excitement. C. Sadness. D. Satisfaction.
34. What does the underlined word “conducted” in Paragraph 4 mean
A. Organised. B. Produced. C. Began. D. Found.
35. Where is the text most probably taken from
A. A textbook. B. A course plan. C. A dictionary. D. A science report.
【答案】32. B 33. C 34. A 35. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要讲述了提高记忆力的关键就是要适当休息，大脑放空一定的时间才是真正意义上的休息，休息好不仅能提高记忆力，对我们的身体也是大有益处。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“It would appear that the secret to improving your memory is really simple. It’s to take breaks. (提高记忆力的秘诀似乎很简单。就是休息。)”可知，提高记忆力的关键是休息，故选B。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Therefore, factors such as tiredness, bad feelings, or stress make it difficult to connect one area to the other. (因此，疲劳、不良情绪或压力等因素使我们很难将一个区域与另一个区域联系起来。)”可知，悲伤可能影响大脑皮层不同区域之间的联系，故选C。
【34题详解】
词句猜测题。划线词后“What they found was that something as simple as taking breaks for between 9 and 15 minutes improves memory, both in healthy people and in those with neurological damage (神经系统受损). (他们发现，无论是健康人还是神经系统受损的人，休息9到15分钟这样简单的事情都能提高记忆力。)”是描述研究结果，故划线词所在句意为“英国爱丁堡大学的研究员Michaela Dewar与其他专家一起组织进行了一项研究，以了解如何改善记忆巩固过程”， conducted意为“组织”，故选A。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据全文内容，结合第二段中“It would appear that the secret to improving your memory is really simple. It’s to take breaks. (提高记忆力的秘诀似乎很简单。就是休息)”可知，文章主要讲述了提高记忆力的关键就是要适当休息，大脑放空一定的时间才是真正意义上的休息，休息好不仅能提高记忆力，对我们的身体也是大有益处。这最可能来自一份科学报告，故选D。

【37题详解】
设空处位于段首，应为段落主旨句。下文“Sports participation（参与）is the leading cause of eye injuries in teens, but proper fitting protective eyewear can reduce the risk of serious eye injury by 90%.(参与体育运动是青少年眼部受伤的主要原因，但适当的防护眼镜可以将严重眼部受伤的风险降低90%。)”提到了眼部受伤的原因及保护方式。由此可推知，设空处与“眼部保护”有关，C项“Eye protection is also a must for many sports.(保护眼睛也是许多运动的必要条件。)”最能概括本段内容。故选C项。
【38题详解】
设空处位于段末，应具有承接上文作用；上文“Don’t just wear your regular glasses when you’re on the court or field.(当你在球场上的时候，不要只戴普通的眼镜。)”提到了在球场时，不要只戴普通眼镜，根据句中的just可知，下文应能与其对应；A项“They don’t provide protection.(他们不提供保护。)”中的they与上文的regular glasses对应。故选A项。
【39题详解】
上文“Wear a mouthguard if you play a contact sport where head injury is a risk, such as football, basketball, volleyball and boxing.(如果你参加有头部受伤风险的身体接触运动，如足球、篮球、排球和拳击，请戴上护齿器。)”提到了“护齿器”；下文“They can be fitted for your mouth by a dentist（牙医）or bought at sports stores.(它们可以由牙医给你戴上，也可以在体育用品商店买到。)”提到了“护齿器”的来源。由此可推知，设空处应与“护齿器”相关。E项“Mouthguards can protect your mouth, teeth, and tongue.(护齿器可以保护你的口腔、牙齿和舌头。)”与上下文对应。故选E项。
【40题详解】
上文“And last but not least, the right footwear can keep you from tripping and falling. You know that sports like football, baseball, softball, and soccer require cleats（防滑鞋）.(最后但同样重要的是，合适的鞋子可以防止你绊倒和摔倒。你知道像足球、棒球、垒球和足球这样的运动需要球鞋。)”提到了一些运动需要合适的鞋子”；下文“Ask your coach or doctor what shoes are best for your sport.(询问你的教练或医生哪种鞋最适合你的运动。)”提到了确定哪种鞋最适合运动。由此可推知，设空处应与运动鞋有关。G项“But you may not realize that sports like biking need special types of shoes, too.(但你可能没有意识到，像骑自行车这样的运动也需要特殊类型的鞋子。)”与上下文对应。故选G项。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了学习语言的好处，以及成人学习新语言的可能性和方法。
【56题详解】
考查副词。句意：学习语言有很多好处：出国旅行时感到自信，在国际上交朋友，能够阅读原版书籍，还有更多的好处，比如在其他国家学习和工作。分析句子结构，空白处在句子中作状语，使用副词，故填internationally。
【57题详解】
考查名词。句意：同上。分析句子结构，空白处在句子中作宾语，使用名词，根据空白处前面的other可知空白处应填名词的复数形式，故填countries。
【58题详解】
考查介词。句意：然而，如果面对除了学习新外语之外别无选择的挑战，成年人可以取得巨大的成绩。分析句子结构，faced with为固定短语，含义为“面对……”，符合句意，故填with。
【59题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：在决定如何学习一门新语言之前，首先要决定在何种情况下使用该语言。分析句子结构，根据空白处前面的介词before可知空白处应填动名词，故填deciding。
【60题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：例如，如果目标是旅行或在一些国际活动中寻找新业务，建议学一门专注于口语练习的课程。分析句子结构，空白处在句子中做表语，使用非谓语动词，因空白处表示的是一个指向将来的不确定的动作，使用动词不定式，故填to travel。
【61题详解】
考查形容词。句意：在短期内大量学习和练习基础词汇和会话结构，可能会带来所需的结果，比如能够在街上交流或支持小型商务谈判。分析句子结构，空白处在句子中作定语表示属性，使用形容词，故填basic。
【62题详解】
考查冠词。句意：同上。分析句子结构，因空白处后面有名词，根据冠词的用法，名词前需使用不定冠词，表示“一个”含义，因空白处后面词的第一个发音音素为辅音，故填a。
【63题详解】
考查时态。句意：通常，两三个月的学习就足够开始交流了。分析句子结构，空白处在句子中作谓语使用动词，因句子表示的是一个客观情况，谓语动词使用一般现在时，主语 the two or three months of study中心词是study，谓语用第三人称单数，故填is。
【64题详解】
考查连词。句意：不幸的是，如果没有实际使用或进一步发展，语言能力可能会像它们来的时候一样容易消失。根据上文“practical usage (实际使用)”以及下文“further development (进一步发展)”可知上下文之间为选择关系，使用表示选择关系的并列连词，故填or。
【65题详解】
考查被动语态。句意：这种语言不可能永远学一次。分析句子结构，空白处在句子中作谓语，因与主语之间为被动关系，使用被动语态，根据空白处前面的情态动词can可知此处使用了“情态动词+be done”结构，空白处填“be+过去分词”，故填be learned/be learnt。

67. 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。
On November 27th last year, I was waiting to check out at a local store.
The clerk(售货员) was very busy because it was Thanksgiving Day. Besides usual snacks and daily necessities, people were buying kinds of food and flowers. It was about 5 p. m. and still light outside, but people seemed to be hurrying back to their cars. As it was the rush hour, with people anxious to get home from work, few of the people in line responded(回应) to the clerk’s greetings(问候). Even fewer people wished the clerk a nice evening.
Surprisingly, one elderly woman who was paying for ice cream and some snacks smiled at the clerk who was taking what seemed to be the woman’s last 20 dollars and 21 cents. The elderly customer nodded in the direction of the flowers and said to the clerk, “I hope someone will bring you some flowers tonight.” The clerk smiled, saying a bit regretfully, “That would be nice, but I don’t think it’s likely to happen. My husband and I both have to work till midnight today.”
Hearing that, the customer seemed to be lost in thought. She accepted her bag, thanked the clerk and then headed towards her old car outside the store.
注意：
1, 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
After a while, the elderly customer returned with a few coins in her hand.

The clerk looked at the elderly customer, surprised.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】After a while the elderly customer returned with a few coins in her hand. We all thought she might have forgotten to buy some necessities. However, she walked directly to the counter beside which some flowers were on sale. She looked at a bunch of flowers, and the sign said the price was $ 9. The woman looked at her coins and then slowly turned to a single rose. She finally bought it. While we were guessing who she bought the rose for, she handed it to the clerk, saying gently, “This is for you.”
The clerk looked at the elderly customer, surprised. Then the customer explained, “I’m a regular customer of the store. Your kindness and patience have impressed me a lot. I hope my little present can bring you some happiness and comfort during a busy day.” Then she walked slowly out of the store, leaving the tearful clerk behind. All of us in line were deeply touched. Clearly, the woman was poor, but she still tried to brighten up someone’s day. I was inspired, and decided to learn from her and pass the love on.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了感恩节那天，作者去商店买东西，店员很忙，一位老妇人在结账时，对店员说: “我希望今晚有人能给你带些花来。”店员遗憾地说: “那太好了，但我认为这不太可能发生。我和我丈夫今天都要工作到午夜。”在买完东西后，老妇人朝商店外面她的旧车走去。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“过了一会儿，老顾客回来了，手里拿着几个硬币。”可知，第一段可描写老妇人买了一束鲜花，随后送给了店员。
②由第二段首句内容“店员惊讶地看着这位年长的顾客。”可知，第二段可描写作者解释自己给店员买花的原因，店员很感动，作者决定向这位老妇人学习，将爱传递下去。
2.续写线索：买花——送给店员——解释原因——感动——作者决定向老妇人学习，将爱传递下去
