Ridley Scott’s famous war film “Napoleon (拿破仑)” is a series of successful battles looking for a better movie to connect them. Once again, Scott’s craftsmanship (技艺) is on show here, but it’s in service of a deeply shallow screenplay. A great actor is reduced to a ghostly presence in the middle of the movie, and his partner, the character who needs to give the film a beating heart, comes off as flat and hollow.
One of the problems is that the film script tries to put a lot of life into the running time of a single film. Naturally, it opens during the French Revolution, as Napoleon climbs up the political ladder of France with his war talents above all else.
Another part of the problem is that Kirby, the leading actress never really understands what to play with Josephine, a mysterious celebrity (名人) who becomes too much of a mirror for Napoleon. She couldn’t give Napoleon a son, which resulted in their break-up.
Was Napoleon the kind of world leader whose own unsafety resulted in killings we have seen in history That’s here in a few places, but Scott is uninterested in making any sort of statement about Napoleon or men like him. A very just-the-facts approach of “Napoleon” is incredibly disappointing for a filmmaker who usually finds so much depth in the stories he tells. Worst of all, by the time “Napoleon” gets to Waterloo, we don’t know much more about the main character than we did when we came in. That’s a problem.
Having said that, the wonderful war scenes in “Napoleon” may be enough to prove its existence for fans of historical war films. Whether its bloodied bodies breaking through ice or waves of soldiers rushing into battle, “Napoleon” has some fantastic battle scenes. Maybe the point is that Napoleon Bonaparte was only truly alive when surrounded by so much death.
4. How do you understand the underlined word “hollow” in Paragraph 1
A. Solid. B. Deep. C. Empty. D. Smooth.
5. What can we infer from Paragraph 2 to 4
A. The film successfully covers Napoleon’s whole life.
B. Kirby has a good understanding of how to play Josephine.
C. People couldn’t know Napoleon better through this film.
D. There are some outstanding features of “Napoleon”.
6. What does Paragraph 5 mainly talk about
A. The successful battle scenes in “Napoleon”.
B. The achievements of Napoleon Bonaparte.
C. The wars Napoleon Bonaparte fighting in.
D. The reason for Napoleon Bonaparte’s aliveness.
7. What type of writing is this text
A. A news report. B. A film review.
C. A historical document. D. A science fiction.
【答案】4. C 5. C 6. A 7. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了Ridley Scott的电影《拿破仑》所存在的一些问题。
【4题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段“A great actor is reduced to a ghostly presence in the middle of the movie, and his partner, the character who needs to give the film a beating heart, comes off as flat and hollow.(一个伟大的演员在电影中间变成了幽灵般的存在，而他的搭档，那个需要给电影注入活力的角色，却表现得平淡无奇和hollow)”可知，电影中演员的表现不尽如人意，那个需要给给电影注入活力的角色显得平淡而空洞，推测划线词hollow的意思是“空洞的，空的”，和empty意思相近，故选C。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Worst of all, by the time “Napoleon” gets to Waterloo, we don’t know much more about the main character than we did when we came in. That’s a problem.(最糟糕的是，当“拿破仑”到达滑铁卢时，我们对主角的了解并不比我们刚进来时多多少。这是个问题)”可知，人们看完电影后，对拿破仑的了解没有增加多少，即人们不能通过这部电影更好地了解拿破仑，故选C。
【6题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第五段“Having said that, the wonderful war scenes in “Napoleon” may be enough to prove its existence for fans of historical war films. Whether its bloodied bodies breaking through ice or waves of soldiers rushing into battle, “Napoleon” has some fantastic battle scenes.(话虽如此，《拿破仑》中精彩的战争场面可能足以证明它的存在，对于历史战争片的粉丝来说。无论是破冰的血淋淋的尸体，还是冲进战场的士兵，《拿破仑》都有一些奇妙的战斗场景)”可知，第五段主要讲的是《拿破仑》中成功的战斗场面。故选A。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“Ridley Scott’s famous war film “Napoleon (拿破仑)” is a series of successful battles looking for a better movie to connect them.(Ridley Scott的著名战争片《拿破仑》讲述了一系列成功的战役，寻找一部更好的电影来连接它们)”可知，本文主要介绍的是《拿破仑》这部电影所存在的一些问题，因此这篇文章是影评，即a film review。故选B。
C
The Longtaitou Festivl, which means “dragon-raises head” in Chinese, is a traditional Chinese festival held on the second day of the second month in the Chinese lunar calendar.

The 2nd day of the 2nd lunar month is thought to be the day when dragon awakes and raises its head according to the Chinese folk legend. So the day is called Dragon Heads-raising Day. After the day, spring is coming and there will be more and more rain. People think these credits (功劳) go to the dragon. So the day is also called Spring Dragon Festival.

Should martial arts be part of the school curriculum (课程) In the United States and most of Europe, self-defense is not taught at schools. Yes, schools have after-school clubs with trainers from both inside and outside the school using the gyms and classroom to teach a big range of martial arts, but schools very rarely have it on their curriculum, let alone as a main subject.
But after new research that shows that obesity (肥胖) levels are still rising in the first world at a surprising rate, some are suggesting that martial arts may help fight obesity, and also help children become better adapted to the wider world in terms of self-defense and discipline (自律).
Martial arts provide not just a physical work out, but also a chance to develop self-defense skills while training both the body and mind to be disciplined and mindful. Studies have shown that there is a significant connection between practicing martial arts and self-esteem (自尊). Through the arts, students can develop discipline, and cultivate respect for different cultures-something even more important than ever before in our increasingly divided societies. Martial arts also strengthen muscles,improves flexibility and balance. Everyone knows that with better physical health, come better, happier lives.
However, some have been keen to point out that yes, martial arts in every school would be great, but finding those who are trained and qualified (合格的) to teach martial arts could probably prove to be challenge. They believe it is a chicken and egg situation, where without compulsory (强制的) curriculum of martial arts, those who are good at it may never find themselves in a dojo (武术馆) to find out. But to bring it to everyone you need experienced trainers who can teach the martial arts without fear of mishap (不幸事故) or physical damage.
12. What’s the topic of this text
A. What martial arts are.
B. Whether martial arts should be on school curriculum.
C. Who should teach martial arts as a main subject at school.
D. How martial arts work for schools.
13. Why should martial arts be added into the curriculum
A. Self-defense is not taught at schools.
B. Obesity levels are still rising fast in the world.
C. It provides physical and mental benefits.
D. It can help prevent physical damage.
14. What are the “chicken” and the “egg” in the “a chicken and egg situation” in the last paragraph
A. Building a dojo and finding the trainers..
B. Teaching martial arts and the physical damage.
C. Lack of trainers and the fear of mishap.
D. Lack of trainers and no compulsory curriculum of martial arts.
15. What is the author’s attitude towards adding martial arts to the curriculum
A. Unclear. B. Uninterested. C. Disliking. D. Negative.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文，主要论述的是武术是否应该被列入学校的主要课程。
【12题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Should martial arts be part of the school curriculum (课程) (武术应该成为学校课程的一部分吗？)”可知，本文主要的话题是武术是否应该列入学校课程。故选B。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Martial arts provide not just a physical work out, but also a chance to develop self-defense skills while training both the body and mind to be disciplined and mindful. Studies have shown that there is a significant connection between practicing martial arts and self-esteem (自尊).(武术不仅提供了一种身体锻炼，而且还提供了一个发展自卫技能的机会，同时训练身体和心灵自律和警觉。研究表明，练习武术和自尊之间存在着重要的联系)”可知，把武术加入课程是因为它对身体和精神都有好处。故选C。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据最后一段“They believe it is a chicken and egg situation, where without compulsory (强制的) curriculum of martial arts, those who are good at it may never find themselves in a dojo (武术馆) to find out.(他们认为这是一个先有鸡还是先有蛋的情况，没有必修的武术课程，那些擅长武术的人可能永远不会在武术馆)”可知，chicken和egg是缺乏训练师，没有必修的武术课程。故选D。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“But after new research that shows that obesity (肥胖) levels are still rising in the first world at a surprising rate, some are suggesting that martial arts may help fight obesity, and also help children become better adapted to the wider world in terms of self-defense and discipline (自律).(但一项新的研究表明，第一世界的肥胖水平仍在以惊人的速度上升，一些人认为，武术可能有助于对抗肥胖，也有助于孩子们在自卫和自律方面更好地适应更广阔的世界)”和最后一段“However, some have been keen to point out that yes, martial arts in every school would be great, but finding those who are trained and qualified (合格的) to teach martial arts could probably prove to be challenge.(然而，一些人敏锐地指出，是的，每个学校开武术课很棒，但是找到那些受过训练并有资格教授武术的人可能会被证明是一个挑战)”可知，本文只是客观陈述人们对武术是否该成为学校课程的不同观点，并没有表明自己的观点，所以作者对在课程中增加武术的态度是不清楚的。故选A。

No smoking
_______17_______While this is not strictly a part of a healthy diet, smoking has long been proven to cause a wide variety of cancers, as well as increase the risk for cardiovascular diseases and other serious health issues

Red meat
The list wouldn’t be complete without red meat. As other studies before it, the WCRF report further emphasizes that red meat is also associated with an important rise in cancer risk, especially processed red meat. 39._____19_____No amount of processed red meat is safe if you want to minimize your risk of cancer.
The findings don’t necessarily offer something －they just repeat what mountains of research are already saying: if you want to avoid, cancer, you need to eat more things that are good for you, less of the things that are harmful to you, and be at least somewhat physically fit.______20______
A. Yes, even little drinking is bad for you.
B. A smoking area is planned for people who want to smoke.
C. The first thing you should do is give up smoking (if you do smoke).
D. However, in the modern world, that seems to be increasingly difficult.

本段小标题是“No smoking(不要吸烟)”，因此空格处也应该说不要抽烟，C选项“The first thing you should do is give up smoking (if you do smoke).(你应该做的第一件事就是戒烟（如果你吸烟的话）。)”说明了要戒烟，也就是不要抽烟，因此承接上文，符合语境，故选C。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍的是太极拳的好处。
【36题详解】
考查名词。句意：多年来，太极拳在世界各地越来越受欢迎，研究人员发现，中国武术太极拳可以延缓帕金森病多年。increasing是形容词，修饰名词，popular的名词是popularity，意为“受欢迎的程度”，是不可数名词，故填popularity。
【37题详解】
考查时态，固定短语和主谓一致。句意：众所周知，太极拳和其他类型的武术都有益于身心健康。sb. be known to do是固定短语，意为“某人被知道做某事”，句子描述客观事实，时态用一般现在时，together with连接并列主语时，根据前面的主语来确定谓语的单复数，即根据Tai chi来确定，因此空格处是is known。故填is known。
【38题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：在过去的五年里，上海交通大学医学院的医生们对帕金森病患者进行了一项研究。空格处引导的是非限制性定语从句，从句中缺少主语，先行词study是物，因此空格处用which引导定语从句，故填which。
【39题详解】
考查比较级。句意：他们观察到，练太极的人摔倒的次数更少，背部疼痛也更少。由and less可知，空格处用比较级fewer，故填fewer。
【40题详解】
考查副词。句意：研究人员还指出，经常练太极的人的认知功能恶化得更慢。空格处用副词修饰动词practiced，regular的副词是regularly，意为“频繁地，经常地”。故填regularly。
【41题详解】
考查形容词。句意：它逐渐引起无法控制的动作，如颤抖、僵硬、平衡和协调困难。根据语境可知，句子表示“帕金森病逐渐引起无法控制的动作，如颤抖、僵硬、平衡和协调困难”，空格处意为“无法控制的”，用形容词修饰名词movements，“无法控制的”的形容词是uncontrollable，故填uncontrollable。
【42题详解】
考查时态。句意：研究人员认为，打太极可以使帕金森病的症状在数年内不会恶化。由said可知，句子时态用一般过去时，空格处用过去式，故填suggested。
【43题详解】
考查介词。句意：他们说：“太极拳对帕金森病的长期有益影响可以延长没有残疾的时间，从而提高生活质量。”the effect of...on...是固定短语，意为“……对……的影响”，因此空格处是介词on，故填on。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：他们说：“太极拳对帕金森病的长期有益影响可以延长没有残疾的时间，从而提高生活质量。”句中的谓语是could prolong，空格处用非谓语动词，lead to 与上文的句子为主动关系，用现在分词，故填leading。
【45题详解】
考查时态，语态和主谓一致。句意：难怪现在全世界都在练太极拳。由at the moment可知，句子描述现在或现在正在进行的动作，且太极拳是被练，因此空格处用现在进行时的被动语态或一般现在时的被动语态，主语tai chi是不可数名词，因此空格处是is being practised/is practised。故填is being practised/is practised。

Learning that you are going on a diet to lose weight, I feel terribly sorry and I do regard it as inappropriate. I am writing to offer some constructive proposals.
Skipping meals or eating less does harm to you to a great extent, giving rise to the weakness both physically and mentally.

Additionally, I also highly recommend sleeping earlier and rising earlier, which is said to be of great use in controlling weight.
I do hope my suggestions above are of help and that you will get an ideal figure in a healthy way.

第二节 读后续写（满分25分）
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。
The New York Marathon (马拉松) is my goal for this year. I know I am never going to win a race but now, when I get anything negative, I will think of the kind gentleman who really believed, “You very good… you very fast.”
At the time, I was living in the Bay Area, and my mother had come to visit for a few days. On the last day of her stay, I was preparing to go out for a run. I picked up a T-shirt I just bought the other day from a Chinese clothing shop — it had some Chinese characters on the front, and a scene of Honolulu Chinatown on the back. I didn’t speak Chinese, but somehow this special T-shirt was quite soft and good for exercise.Working in a very negative environment, I found morning runs very beneficial — body tired but mind awake.
And I had always met an elderly Chinese gentleman walking on the opposite side of the trail (道路) when I was running on other mornings. I had always said, “Good morning,” and he had always smiled warmly and nodded his head slightly.
As I was going out the door, my mother suddenly said, “I don’t think running is so hot — that famous runner died.” I started to recount what I had read about Jim Fixx, and how running had probably been the contributing factor to his living far longer than most of the other members of his family, but I knew there was absolutely no point.
As I started running on my favorite trail, I found I couldn’t shake my mother’s statement. I was so discouraged that I could hardly run. I began thinking, “Why do I run at all Serious runners probably think I look silly! I might have a heart attack on the trail — my dad had a fatal (致命的) heart attack at 50 years old, and he was seemingly in better shape than I am.”
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150个左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
My mother’s statement remained in my mind like a giant blanket.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Upon hearing the man’s words, I felt more unexplained strength in my step.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
My mother’s statement remained in my mind like a giant blanket. Gradually, my jog slowed to a walk. My body drained of energy and my mind felt extremely defeated. Just as I was going to turn around and head for home — feeling more discouraged than I could recall in years — I saw that elderly Chinese gentleman again. Seeing my shirt in the distance had prompted him to march towards me. With limited English he pointed to the letters and enthusiastically said, “You very good… you very fast.”
Upon hearing the man’s words, I felt more unexplained strength in my step. He cast his usual warm smile at me and gave me a thumb up as we passed each other. A surge of warmth across my whole body, I didn’t turn from the trail where my previous dark mood had intended. Thanks to that little boost, I continued for six more miles that day instead. I was not that fast, but was very good in my spirit and my heart. Luckily, the elderly gentleman saved me from the shadow of negative feedback.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者今年打算参加纽约马拉松比赛，虽然作者知道自己不会赢得比赛，但是总会想起真正相信自己的善良绅士的鼓励的话。那时作者住在旧金山湾区，在消极的工作环境中工作，觉得晨跑非常有益，因此总是去跑步。在跑步的时候，作者总能遇到一位中国老先生，两人会礼貌地打个招呼。作者的母亲来看望作者几天，这天作者穿了一件在中国服装店买的T恤正要出门跑步，上面有一些中国的汉字，母亲却对跑步做出了消极评价，虽然作者说明证明跑步有好处，但觉得没有意义。作者在跑步的时候无法摆脱母亲的评价，觉得非常沮丧，开始质疑自己跑步的意义，担心自己在跑步途中心脏病发作。
【详解】1. 段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“母亲的话像一块巨大的毯子一样留在我的脑海里”可知，第一段可描写作者被母亲的话影响了，跑不下去了，以及作者遇到那位老先生，他为作者解释了T恤上充满鼓励的汉字的意思。
②由第二段首句内容“听了那人的话，我的脚步更有了莫名的力量”可知，第二段可描写作者内心受到鼓舞，变得积极起来，以及作者转而继续跑步，心情变得好起来。

Ridley Scott’s famous war film “Napoleon (拿破仑)” is a series of successful battles looking for a better movie to connect them. Once again, Scott’s craftsmanship (技艺) is on show here, but it’s in service of a deeply shallow screenplay. A great actor is reduced to a ghostly presence in the middle of the movie, and his partner, the character who needs to give the film a beating heart, comes off as flat and hollow.
One of the problems is that the film script tries to put a lot of life into the running time of a single film. Naturally, it opens during the French Revolution, as Napoleon climbs up the political ladder of France with his war talents above all else.
Another part of the problem is that Kirby, the leading actress never really understands what to play with Josephine, a mysterious celebrity (名人) who becomes too much of a mirror for Napoleon. She couldn’t give Napoleon a son, which resulted in their break-up.
Was Napoleon the kind of world leader whose own unsafety resulted in killings we have seen in history That’s here in a few places, but Scott is uninterested in making any sort of statement about Napoleon or men like him. A very just-the-facts approach of “Napoleon” is incredibly disappointing for a filmmaker who usually finds so much depth in the stories he tells. Worst of all, by the time “Napoleon” gets to Waterloo, we don’t know much more about the main character than we did when we came in. That’s a problem.
Having said that, the wonderful war scenes in “Napoleon” may be enough to prove its existence for fans of historical war films. Whether its bloodied bodies breaking through ice or waves of soldiers rushing into battle, “Napoleon” has some fantastic battle scenes. Maybe the point is that Napoleon Bonaparte was only truly alive when surrounded by so much death.
4. How do you understand the underlined word “hollow” in Paragraph 1
A. Solid. B. Deep. C. Empty. D. Smooth.
5. What can we infer from Paragraph 2 to 4
A. The film successfully covers Napoleon’s whole life.
B. Kirby has a good understanding of how to play Josephine.
C. People couldn’t know Napoleon better through this film.
D. There are some outstanding features of “Napoleon”.
6. What does Paragraph 5 mainly talk about
A. The successful battle scenes in “Napoleon”.
B. The achievements of Napoleon Bonaparte.
C. The wars Napoleon Bonaparte fighting in.
D. The reason for Napoleon Bonaparte’s aliveness.
7. What type of writing is this text
A. A news report. B. A film review.
C. A historical document. D. A science fiction.
C
The Longtaitou Festivl, which means “dragon-raises head” in Chinese, is a traditional Chinese festival held on the second day of the second month in the Chinese lunar calendar. So, it’s also called Eryueer Festival. In Chinese culture, the dragon is an auspicious (吉利的) animal that dominates clouds and rains. The 2nd day of the 2nd lunar month is thought to be the day when dragon awakes and raises its head according to the Chinese folk legend. So the day is called Dragon Heads-raising Day. After the day, spring is coming and there will be more and more rain. People think these credits (功劳) go to the dragon. So the day is also called Spring Dragon Festival. Since the Tang Dynasty (618-907 AD), Chinese people have had the custom of spending the Spring Dragon Festival.
The most popular custom on the Dragon Heads-raising Day is cutting hair. Dragon is highly honored for its dignity (尊贵) and power for good. It is thought to be auspicious to cut hair on the Dragon Heads-raising Day. Luck and opportunities will always knock you in the year. So, on that day, barbershops’ (理发店的) businesses are growing and full of customers.
The most common foods for celebrating the festival are popcorns, pancakes, noodles, dumplings, fired soy beans and pig’s head. People in different areas have different traditions about the food on the day. In Beijing, people eat Lvdagunr (Glutinous Rice Rolls with Sweet Bean Flour) and spring pancakes on the day. In Shanxi, people like to eat fried dough twists (油条) and pancakes. In Shandong, fried soy beans, noodles and dumplings are the festival food. In Fuzhou, the salted porridge made of glutinous rice, celery, scallion, garlic, fry dried shrimps and shredded meat is eaten. These show people’s hope to be blessed (保佑) with favorable weather and plentiful grain harvest by the dragon.
8. Which of the following is true about the Longtaitou Festival
A. It dates back to Song Dynasty.
B. It is celebrated for two days.
C. It attracts fewer people than other festivals.
D. It suggests the return of spring.

B. It is in honor of dragon’s dignity and power.

B. Foods for celebrating the festival usually bear people’s best wishes.

Should martial arts be part of the school curriculum (课程) In the United States and most of Europe, self-defense is not taught at schools. Yes, schools have after-school clubs with trainers from both inside and outside the school using the gyms and classroom to teach a big range of martial arts, but schools very rarely have it on their curriculum, let alone as a main subject.
But after new research that shows that obesity (肥胖) levels are still rising in the first world at a surprising rate, some are suggesting that martial arts may help fight obesity, and also help children become better adapted to the wider world in terms of self-defense and discipline (自律).
Martial arts provide not just a physical work out, but also a chance to develop self-defense skills while training both the body and mind to be disciplined and mindful. Studies have shown that there is a significant connection between practicing martial arts and self-esteem (自尊). Through the arts, students can develop discipline, and cultivate respect for different cultures-something even more important than ever before in our increasingly divided societies. Martial arts also strengthen muscles,improves flexibility and balance. Everyone knows that with better physical health, come better, happier lives.
However, some have been keen to point out that yes, martial arts in every school would be great, but finding those who are trained and qualified (合格的) to teach martial arts could probably prove to be challenge. They believe it is a chicken and egg situation, where without compulsory (强制的) curriculum of martial arts, those who are good at it may never find themselves in a dojo (武术馆) to find out. But to bring it to everyone you need experienced trainers who can teach the martial arts without fear of mishap (不幸事故) or physical damage.
12 What’s the topic of this text
A. What martial arts are.
B. Whether martial arts should be on school curriculum.

The New York Marathon (马拉松) is my goal for this year. I know I am never going to win a race but now, when I get anything negative, I will think of the kind gentleman who really believed, “You very good… you very fast.”
At the time, I was living in the Bay Area, and my mother had come to visit for a few days. On the last day of her stay, I was preparing to go out for a run. I picked up a T-shirt I just bought the other day from a Chinese clothing shop — it had some Chinese characters on the front, and a scene of Honolulu Chinatown on the back. I didn’t speak Chinese, but somehow this special T-shirt was quite soft and good for exercise.Working in a very negative environment, I found morning runs very beneficial — body tired but mind awake.
And I had always met an elderly Chinese gentleman walking on the opposite side of the trail (道路) when I was running on other mornings. I had always said, “Good morning,” and he had always smiled warmly and nodded his head slightly.
As I was going out the door, my mother suddenly said, “I don’t think running is so hot — that famous runner died.” I started to recount what I had read about Jim Fixx, and how running had probably been the contributing factor to his living far longer than most of the other members of his family, but I knew there was absolutely no point.
As I started running on my favorite trail, I found I couldn’t shake my mother’s statement. I was so discouraged that I could hardly run. I began thinking, “Why do I run at all Serious runners probably think I look silly! I might have a heart attack on the trail — my dad had a fatal (致命的) heart attack at 50 years old, and he was seemingly in better shape than I am.”
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150个左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
My mother’s statement remained in my mind like a giant blanket.

Upon hearing the man’s words, I felt more unexplained strength in my step.
