You start by running around the school track three times to warm up. This is followed by exercises or long jump for the girls and football or basketball for the boys. That is an average 45 -minute PE class— but do you really enjoy it
For students at the Second High School Attached to Beijing Normal University, sports classes have experienced a welcome change. Senior 2 students now learn the traditional Chinese martial art of sword-fighting (中国剑术), making PE the most popular lesson on the timetable. “The classes used to be boring as we just did the same things again and again,” said Xiao Tong. “But now PE classes are such fun. Sword-fighting is so cool.” His classmate Wei Jie agrees. “As well as being fun, we learn about traditional Chinese culture,” she said. The usual morning exercises performed to music on the school playground have been replaced by kicking and punching practice (搏击操) to a pop music by Zheng Xiuwen. “We didn't pay much attention when we heard the old music,” Xiao explained, “But when Zheng's music is played, we get excited.” Mao Min, the PE teacher who introduced the changes, is pleased that the students now enjoy sports lessons more. “The classes encourage healthy lifestyles and I am always looking for creative ways to keep the students active,” he said. Schools offer activities according to what sports facilities (设备) they have. For example, students at the Experimental High School Attached to Beijing Normal University can choose to learn swimming, taekwondo (跆拳道) or volleyball. “I take my volleyball very seriously so I keep fit by playing it,” said Senior 2 student Zhang Zheng. “Students only try hard in sports that interest them.”

Long lines at security checkpoints, tiny plastic cups of drink, small bags of biscuit, planes full of passengers, fees attached to every service—all reflect the realities of 21st century commercial air travel. It’s no wonder that many travelers have become nostalgic (怀旧) for the so-called “golden age” of air travel in the United States.
During the 1950s, airlines promoted commercial air travel; airline hostesses served full meals on real china, airline seats were large and frequently empty with enough legroom, and passengers were always dressed well.
After jets were introduced in the late 1950s, passengers could travel to even the most distant locations at speeds unimaginable a decade before. An airline trip from New York to London that could take up to 15 hours in the early 1950s could be made in less than seven hours by the early 1960s.
But the good memory of airline in that time can be tricky, and “golden ages” are seldom as beautiful as they seem. Until the introduction of jets in 1958, most of the nation’s commercial planes were propeller-driven (螺旋桨驱动) aircraft. Most of these planes were unpressurized, and with a maximum cruising (巡航) altitude of 10,000 to 12,000 feet, they were unable to fly over bad weather. Delays were frequent, turbulence (气流) was common, and air sickness bags were often needed. For much of this period, the old saying “Time to spare, go by air” still rang true.
Through the 1930s and into the 1940s, almost everyone flew first class. Airlines did encourage more people to fly in the 1950s and 1960s by introducing coach or tourist fares, but the savings were relative: less expensive than first class, but still pricey. Although the invention of jets did result in lower fares, the cost was still out of reach of most Americans.
8. Why do passengers treasure the memory of the “golden age” of air travel
A. Passengers behaved better in those days.
B. People traveled by plane more frequently at that time.
C. Commercial air travel has kept airplanes in short supply.
D. The air travel experience is much worse than it used to be.
9. How does the author develop the first two paragraphs
A. By giving figures. B. By following time order.
C. By making comparisons. D. By explaining principles.
10. What can be learnt about the flights before the jet age from the text
A. The flights were often delayed.
B. The flights didn’t offer meals to passengers
C. The flights could fly over 20,000 feet.
D. The flights were affordable for most people.
11. What is the text mainly about
A. The convenience of the modern airplanes.
B. The advantages of air travel in America.
C. The reality behind air travel’s golden age.
D. The old saying “Time to spare, go by air”.
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. A 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了20世纪五六十年代,美国经历了所谓的航空旅行“黄会时代”,其背后却不那么光鲜的现实。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Long lines at security checkpoints, tiny plastic cups of drink, small bags of biscuit, planes full of passengers, fees attached to every service—all reflect the realities of 21st century commercial air travel. It’s no wonder that many travelers have become nostalgic (怀旧) for the so-called “golden age” of air travel in the United States.”(安检口排起了长队,小小的塑料杯饮料,小袋饼干,满载乘客的飞机,每项服务的附加费用——这些都反映了21世纪商业航空旅行的现实。难怪许多旅行者开始怀念美国所谓的航空旅行“黄金时代”。),由此可推知,旅客怀念“黄金时代”是由于现在的服务体验不如那时的好。故选D项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据前两段“Long lines at security checkpoints, tiny plastic cups of drink, small bags of biscuit, planes full of passengers, fees attached to every service—all reflect the realities of 21st century commercial air travel. It’s no wonder that many travelers have become nostalgic (怀旧) for the so-called “golden age” of air travel in the United States. During the 1950s, airlines promoted commercial air travel; airline hostesses served full meals on real china, airline seats were large and frequently empty with enough legroom, and passengers were always dressed well.”(安检口排起了长队,小小的塑料杯饮料,小袋饼干,满载乘客的飞机,每项服务的附加费用——这些都反映了21世纪商业航空旅行的现实。难怪许多旅行者开始怀念美国所谓的航空旅行“黄金时代”。20世纪50年代,航空公司促进了商业航空旅行;航空公司的女服务员在真正的中国提供全餐服务,航空公司的座位很大,经常空着,有足够的腿部空间,乘客总是穿着得体。)作者主要通过比较现在的航空旅行和“黄金时代”的航空旅行来行文。故选C项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“Delays were frequent”(延误很频繁)可知,喷气式飞机之前的航班经常延误。故选A项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文以及根据第四段“But the good memory of airline in that time can be tricky, and “golden ages” are seldom as beautiful as they seem.”(但那段时间对航空公司的美好记忆可能很棘手,“黄金时代”很少像看上去那么美好)文章介绍了20世纪五六十年代,美国经历了所谓的航空旅行“黄会时代”,其背后却不那么光鲜的现实。故选C项。
D
Everyone has “down days”. Maybe it’s because of the bad weather, or the disappointing grades on a difficult test, and some days teenagers just act uninterested in life or school. But these symptoms(症状) often pass quickly, as teens move on to new school subjects, or meet with friends to prevent themselves from thinking what troubles them at the moment. But if a teenager displays symptoms of sadness for more than two lasting weeks, it might point to something serious.
As teenagers develop, they push new boundaries(边界), complain about rules and look for more free rights from their parents. According to the online Health Guide on Adolescent Development, parents must be lasting figures in their teenagers’ life, providing safe boundaries for teens to grow, even if the teenagers act like these boundaries are unwanted.
Parents need to provide rules, while also remaining flexible(灵活的) and respectful of the growing teens’ need for freedom. For example, teenagers will often feel frustrated, embarrassed, and even angry that thought they want freedom, they still need to ask their parents for an agreement to go to a friend’s house, or need their mothers to take them to school.
The US Department of Education says that parents should respect and support their teen’s choices as long as those choices won’t have long-term harmful effects. For example, even if a parent doesn’t enjoy the music his or her teen listens to, it’s unlikely that the choice of music will prevent that teen from entering a good college, or lead to health problems. However, if that teen is drinking alcohol and driving, parents must get through strict punishments to teach that there are bad results for poor choices that come with increased freedom.
12. Why do teen’s feelings of bad days usually disappear quickly
A. Their teachers help them.
B. They take some medicine.
C. Their parents talk with them.
D. They change their attention.
13. What does the example in paragraph 3 show
A. Freedom must be given at anytime.
B. Teens are mad at being controlled.
C. Teens need both freedom and proper rules.
D. Rules must be absolutely strict for teens.
14. What should parents do about their teens’ choices
A. Support their helpful hobbies. B. Tell them which college to attend.
C. Cancel their after-school activities. D. Get them away from singing pop songs.
15. What is the best title for the text
A. How to Be With Growing Teens
B. Causes of Teens’ Sadness
C. Teens’ Worries About Strict Rules
D. The Importance of Making Friends With Teens
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. A 15. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要谈论了父母如何与成长中的青少年相处。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“But these symptoms(症状) often pass quickly, as teens move on to new school subjects, or meet with friends to prevent themselves from thinking what troubles them at the moment. (但这些症状通常很快就会消失,因为青少年开始学习新的课程,或与朋友见面,以防止自己思考当前的困扰。)”可知,青少年对不愉快的感觉会很快消失是因为他们改变了注意力。故选D项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Parents need to provide rules, while also remaining flexible(灵活的) and respectful of the growing teens’ need for freedom. For example, teenagers will often feel frustrated, embarrassed, and even angry that thought they want freedom, they still need to ask their parents for an agreement to go to a friend’s house, or need their mothers to take them to school. (父母需要制定规则,同时也要保持灵活性,尊重成长中的青少年对自由的需求。例如,青少年经常会感到沮丧,尴尬,甚至生气,尽管他们想要自由,他们仍然需要征求父母的同意去朋友家,或需要他们的母亲送他们去学校。)”可知,举例是为了说明青少年既需要自由又需要适当的规则。故选C项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“The US Department of Education says that parents should respect and support their teen’s choices as long as those choices won’t have long-term harmful effects. (美国教育部表示,父母应该尊重和支持青少年选择,只要这些选择不会产生长期的有害影响。)”可知,对于青少年,父母应该支持他们有益的爱好。故选A项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其根据第二段中“According to the online Health Guide on Adolescent Development, parents must be lasting figures in their teenagers’ life, providing safe boundaries for teens to grow, even if the teenagers act like these boundaries are unwanted. (根据在线的《青少年发展健康指南》,父母必须在青少年的生活中扮演持久的角色,为青少年的成长提供安全的边界,即使青少年表现得好像这些边界是不需要的。)”可知,本文主要谈论了父母如何与成长中的青少年相处。选项A符合文章主题,故选A项。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
If hearing the importance of good social relationships makes you think that you might not have enough, you aren’t alone, said Adam Smiley Poswolsky, workplace belonging expert and author of “Friendship in the Age of Loneliness”.
____16____ However, the hope of developing new friendships — or strengthening existing ones — can be disappointing. It’s frightening to think about friendship in adulthood, and the sense of defeat keeps us from even trying, Poswolsky said.
His suggestion ____17____ Text a friend that you haven’t talked to for a long time, commit to meeting one new person a month, host a dinner party, or join a class. If you do just one thing, make a list of five people in your life that you care about, and give one of them a phone call. The most remarkable friendships often begin with tiniest moments of connection.
Remember that you likely won’t form a strong connection overnight. Research shows that we need 90 hours of time together to consider someone a friend and more than 200 hours to consider them a close friend that you have an emotional connection with. Poswolsky suggested that in our busy world, we should put our friendship on the calendar. ____18____
But studies also show that it isn’t just about having relationships. ____19____ Poswolsky considers that there might not be just one definition of a good friendship, but most strong relationships share some similar qualities. They tend to prioritize (区分优先次序) laughter, joy, excitement, courage, weakness and a lack of judgment.
____20____ They become better versions of themselves, especially when their friend is struggling or going through something hard. You know someone is a true friend when they have your back when you’re sick, when you lose your job, when you make a mistake, when you’re going through a break-up, when you’re stressed, when you’re sad.
A. Start small.
B. The quality also matters.
C. Listen and ask real questions.
D. Many people may feel lonely and want closer connections.
E. And good friendships are often two people helping each other.
F. In other words, we should commit to bolding activities regularly.
G. But having relationships between good and bad often can be unhelpful.
【答案】16. D 17. A 18. F 19. B 20. E
【解析】

The most remarkable friendships often begin with tiniest moments of connection.(给一个很久没联系的朋友发短信,承诺每个月见一个新朋友,举办一个晚宴,或者参加一个课程。如果你只做一件事,列出你生活中五个你关心的人,给他们中的一个打个电话。最非凡的友谊往往始于最细微的联系)”可知,本段讲述的是从小事情开始。由此可知,A. Start small.(从小处着手)能概括其内容,适合作本段主题句。故选A。

The quality also matters.(质量也很重要)能够承上启下,符合语境。故选B。
【20题详解】
此处是本段主题句。根据下文“T They become better versions of themselves, especially when their friend is struggling or going through something hard.

考查连词。句意:人们相信,在寒冷的天气里,喝热水可以平衡体内的阴阳,从而使整体健康状况更好。根据句意“一般认为,饮用热水能让人体内的阴阳平衡,并且让人在寒冷的天气条件下保持健康。”可知,此处表示顺承关系,且不能使用定于从句引导词which。故填 and。
【45题详解】
考查词性转换。句意:所以下次你感冒的时候,你还会对中国朋友关于多喝热水的建议感到困惑吗 此处需要形容词来形容人的心情,作表语。故填 confused。

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was the Easter holidays, and school was closed for two weeks. For me, the Easter holidays were so boring that it was impossible to find something fun to do. My mom had suggested that I do some studies since the promotion test was coming up. However, I didn’t follow my mother’s suggestion. Instead, I went outside to seek out my friends to play with. When I had successfully contacted some of my friends, none of them seemed to be much in a playful mood, but one friend Jimmy agreed to play with me. He suggested we go down to the river and just relax there. The river was not far from my home, and we arrived there quickly.
Just relaxing on the river bank with nothing but some waste logs, it wasn’t fun for us at first. Clearly what was on our minds was to jump into the river and just take a swim in the clear cool water. So we took off our clothes down to our underwear and walked into the shallow part of the water. The water was truly cool and refreshing and we were starting to have fun then, playing and laughing, as we splashed the cool water onto each other’s faces.
Then we started to chase each other around on the river bank and then we ran straight into the river. We were having so much fun that we didn’t notice danger was around the corner. Before Jimmy could know it, and before he could do anything to keep his balance, he lost his footing on a tree branch, which was in the shallow part of the water, and slipped, bringing his whole entire body into the deep water. He tried to resurface from the water but found it extremely hard to keep his head above the water.

I was scared to see him struggling in the water but I knew I must rescue him.

After a while, Jimmy recovered from panic and thanked my mom and the neighbors.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】I was scared to see him struggling in the water but I knew I must rescue him. I took a deep breath to keep calm. Looking around, I found a waste log, I threw it to him immediately and asked him to hold it and not to give up. At the same time I yelled for help, hoping someone could come to our rescue. Luckily, my mom heard my cries, rushed out of the house and raced towards us. She jumped into the water and reached out her hands to pull him. Several neighbors also quickly joined the rescue. They managed to get Jimmy out of the water. Finally, Jimmy was saved, pale and shivering.
After a while, Jimmy recovered from panic and thanked my mom and the neighbors. We hugged each other in tears. I thought my mom would scold me. But she just held us in her arms tightly. She warned us it was dangerous to swim in the river. Both of us felt ashamed and promised never to do that again. This was really a special Easter, one I would never forget. For Jimmy, he had a narrow escape from drowning. For me, I felt the kindness of my neighbors.

You start by running around the school track three times to warm up. This is followed by exercises or long jump for the girls and football or basketball for the boys. That is an average 45 -minute PE class— but do you really enjoy it
For students at the Second High School Attached to Beijing Normal University, sports classes have experienced a welcome change. Senior 2 students now learn the traditional Chinese martial art of sword-fighting (中国剑术), making PE the most popular lesson on the timetable. “The classes used to be boring as we just did the same things again and again,” said Xiao Tong. “But now PE classes are such fun. Sword-fighting is so cool.” His classmate Wei Jie agrees. “As well as being fun, we learn about traditional Chinese culture,” she said. The usual morning exercises performed to music on the school playground have been replaced by kicking and punching practice (搏击操) to a pop music by Zheng Xiuwen. “We didn't pay much attention when we heard the old music,” Xiao explained, “But when Zheng's music is played, we get excited.” Mao Min, the PE teacher who introduced the changes, is pleased that the students now enjoy sports lessons more. “The classes encourage healthy lifestyles and I am always looking for creative ways to keep the students active,” he said. Schools offer activities according to what sports facilities (设备) they have. For example, students at the Experimental High School Attached to Beijing Normal University can choose to learn swimming, taekwondo (跆拳道) or volleyball. “I take my volleyball very seriously so I keep fit by playing it,” said Senior 2 student Zhang Zheng. “Students only try hard in sports that interest them.”
4 Why was Xiao Tong not interested in PE classes in the past
A. Because he didn't do well in sports.
B. Because he disliked the same activities.
C. Because he thought the classes too long-
D. Because he was tired of the PE teacher.

Long lines at security checkpoints, tiny plastic cups of drink, small bags of biscuit, planes full of passengers, fees attached to every service—all reflect the realities of 21st century commercial air travel. It’s no wonder that many travelers have become nostalgic (怀旧) for the so-called “golden age” of air travel in the United States.
During the 1950s, airlines promoted commercial air travel; airline hostesses served full meals on real china, airline seats were large and frequently empty with enough legroom, and passengers were always dressed well.
After jets were introduced in the late 1950s, passengers could travel to even the most distant locations at speeds unimaginable a decade before. An airline trip from New York to London that could take up to 15 hours in the early 1950s could be made in less than seven hours by the early 1960s.
But the good memory of airline in that time can be tricky, and “golden ages” are seldom as beautiful as they seem. Until the introduction of jets in 1958, most of the nation’s commercial planes were propeller-driven (螺旋桨驱动) aircraft. Most of these planes were unpressurized, and with a maximum cruising (巡航) altitude of 10,000 to 12,000 feet, they were unable to fly over bad weather. Delays were frequent, turbulence (气流) was common, and air sickness bags were often needed. For much of this period, the old saying “Time to spare, go by air” still rang true.
Through the 1930s and into the 1940s, almost everyone flew first class. Airlines did encourage more people to fly in the 1950s and 1960s by introducing coach or tourist fares, but the savings were relative: less expensive than first class, but still pricey. Although the invention of jets did result in lower fares, the cost was still out of reach of most Americans.
8. Why do passengers treasure the memory of the “golden age” of air travel
A. Passengers behaved better in those days.
B. People traveled by plane more frequently at that time.
C. Commercial air travel has kept airplanes in short supply.
D. The air travel experience is much worse than it used to be.
9. How does the author develop the first two paragraphs
A. By giving figures. B. By following time order.
C. By making comparisons. D. By explaining principles.
10. What can be learnt about the flights before the jet age from the text
A. The flights were often delayed.
B. The flights didn’t offer meals to passengers
C. The flights could fly over 20,000 feet.
D. The flights were affordable for most people.
11. What is the text mainly about
A. The convenience of the modern airplanes.
B. The advantages of air travel in America.
C. The reality behind air travel’s golden age.
D. The old saying “Time to spare, go by air”.
D
Everyone has “down days”. Maybe it’s because of the bad weather, or the disappointing grades on a difficult test, and some days teenagers just act uninterested in life or school. But these symptoms(症状) often pass quickly, as teens move on to new school subjects, or meet with friends to prevent themselves from thinking what troubles them at the moment. But if a teenager displays symptoms of sadness for more than two lasting weeks, it might point to something serious.
As teenagers develop, they push new boundaries(边界), complain about rules and look for more free rights from their parents. According to the online Health Guide on Adolescent Development, parents must be lasting figures in their teenagers’ life, providing safe boundaries for teens to grow, even if the teenagers act like these boundaries are unwanted.
Parents need to provide rules, while also remaining flexible(灵活的) and respectful of the growing teens’ need for freedom. For example, teenagers will often feel frustrated, embarrassed, and even angry that thought they want freedom, they still need to ask their parents for an agreement to go to a friend’s house, or need their mothers to take them to school.
The US Department of Education says that parents should respect and support their teen’s choices as long as those choices won’t have long-term harmful effects. For example, even if a parent doesn’t enjoy the music his or her teen listens to, it’s unlikely that the choice of music will prevent that teen from entering a good college, or lead to health problems. However, if that teen is drinking alcohol and driving, parents must get through strict punishments to teach that there are bad results for poor choices that come with increased freedom.
12. Why do teen’s feelings of bad days usually disappear quickly
A. Their teachers help them.
B. They take some medicine.
C. Their parents talk with them.
D. They change their attention.
13. What does the example in paragraph 3 show
A. Freedom must be given at anytime.

If hearing the importance of good social relationships makes you think that you might not have enough, you aren’t alone, said Adam Smiley Poswolsky, workplace belonging expert and author of “Friendship in the Age of Loneliness”.
____16____ However, the hope of developing new friendships — or strengthening existing ones — can be disappointing. It’s frightening to think about friendship in adulthood, and the sense of defeat keeps us from even trying, Poswolsky said.
His suggestion ____17____ Text a friend that you haven’t talked to for a long time, commit to meeting one new person a month, host a dinner party, or join a class. If you do just one thing, make a list of five people in your life that you care about, and give one of them a phone call. The most remarkable friendships often begin with tiniest moments of connection.
Remember that you likely won’t form a strong connection overnight. Research shows that we need 90 hours of time together to consider someone a friend and more than 200 hours to consider them a close friend that you have an emotional connection with. Poswolsky suggested that in our busy world, we should put our friendship on the calendar. ____18____
But studies also show that it isn’t just about having relationships. ____19____ Poswolsky considers that there might not be just one definition of a good friendship, but most strong relationships share some similar qualities. They tend to prioritize (区分优先次序) laughter, joy, excitement, courage, weakness and a lack of judgment.
____20____ They become better versions of themselves, especially when their friend is struggling or going through something hard. You know someone is a true friend when they have your back when you’re sick, when you lose your job, when you make a mistake, when you’re going through a break-up, when you’re stressed, when you’re sad.
A. Start small.
B. The quality also matters.
C. Listen and ask real questions.
D. Many people may feel lonely and want closer connections.
E. And good friendships are often two people helping each other.
F. In other words, we should commit to bolding activities regularly.
G. But having relationships between good and bad often can be unhelpful.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was the Easter holidays, and school was closed for two weeks. For me, the Easter holidays were so boring that it was impossible to find something fun to do. My mom had suggested that I do some studies since the promotion test was coming up. However, I didn’t follow my mother’s suggestion. Instead, I went outside to seek out my friends to play with. When I had successfully contacted some of my friends, none of them seemed to be much in a playful mood, but one friend Jimmy agreed to play with me. He suggested we go down to the river and just relax there. The river was not far from my home, and we arrived there quickly.
Just relaxing on the river bank with nothing but some waste logs, it wasn’t fun for us at first. Clearly what was on our minds was to jump into the river and just take a swim in the clear cool water. So we took off our clothes down to our underwear and walked into the shallow part of the water. The water was truly cool and refreshing and we were starting to have fun then, playing and laughing, as we splashed the cool water onto each other’s faces.
Then we started to chase each other around on the river bank and then we ran straight into the river. We were having so much fun that we didn’t notice danger was around the corner. Before Jimmy could know it, and before he could do anything to keep his balance, he lost his footing on a tree branch, which was in the shallow part of the water, and slipped, bringing his whole entire body into the deep water. He tried to resurface from the water but found it extremely hard to keep his head above the water.
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。
I was scared to see him struggling in the water but I knew I must rescue him.

After a while, Jimmy recovered from panic and thanked my mom and the neighbors.
