第一节（共15小题；每小题3分，满分45分）
阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
It is commonly believed that in medieval France, New Year was celebrated on 1 April. Then in 1562, Pope Gregory introduced a new calendar for the Christian world, changing New Year to 1 January. With no modern communications, news travelled slowly and new ideas were often questioned. Many people did not hear of the change, some merely forgot, and others chose to ignore it. These people were called fools. Invitations to non-existent “New Year” parties were sent and other practical jokes were played. Over time playing tricks on 1 April became a tradition. The custom eventually spread to England and Scotland, and it was later transported across the Atlantic to the American colonies (殖民地) of the English and the French. April Fools’ Day has now developed into an international festival of fun, with different nationalities celebrating the day in special ways.
France and Italy
In France and Italy, if someone plays a trick on you, you are the “fish of April”. By the month of April fish have only just hatched and are therefore easy to catch. Children stick paper fish to their Friends’ backs and chocolate fish are found in the shops.
America and Britain
Today, Americans and the British play small tricks on friends and strangers alike on 1 April. A common trick is to point to a friend’s shoe and say “Your shoelace (鞋带) is untied.” When they look down, they are laughed at. Schoolchildren might tell a friend that school has been cancelled. Sometimes the media get involved. Once, a British short film was shown on April Fools’ Day about spaghetti farmers and how they harvest their crop from spaghetti trees!
Scotland
In Scotland, April Fools’ Day lasts for two days! The second day is called “Taily Day” and tricks on this day involve the bottom (or the “tail”, in informal speech). Often a sign saying ‘kick me’ is stuck onto someone’s back without them knowing.
21. In what condition would someone be called “fish of April” in France?
A. When one is fooled.
B. If one is fond of fish.
C. When one fools others.
D. If one prefers chocolate.
22. What was the purpose of the British short film?
A. To help the audience.
B. To trick the audience.
C. To warn the audience.
D. To inform the audience.
23. Where does April Fools’ Day last for more than one day?
A. Italy. B. France. C. America. D. Scotland.
B
I have never been a fan of the phrase, “No pains, no gains.” I prefer the alternative version, “No pains, no pains!” When it comes to exercise, for example, I learned years ago that pushing through pain was more likely to lay me up with an aching back than to leave me feeling strong and healthy.
But there are times when stressful situations actually do lead to greater happiness. A new study published in the Journal of Happiness Studies found that people who pursue (追求) goals that are tough to achieve feel more stress in the moment, but greater happiness in the aftermath particularly if they feel connected to others along the way.
The researchers concluded that happiness increases when people develop greater competence in something and greater competence only comes when people keep on working through the stress-inducing phase of trying, fighting, and trying again to learn and grow. If the psychological needs to be autonomous or self-directed, and to be connected to others are met, the momentary stresses will be less acute, and the resulting happiness will be more lasting.
This idea reminds me of another often quoted phrase, which I have heard in reference to challenging tasks, such as exercise —“Fill-in-the-blank-stressful-task is the worst thing to do, but the greatest thing to have done.” In other words, suffering from the stress of an exercise class that leaves us feeling sweat-drenched shouldn’t lead us to walk away from exercising. And if we can pass those stressful moments with a friend, colleague or family member who is trustworthy and supportive, all will be better.
As I travel my positive path, I’m certainly not seeking out stress. But life will offer me plenty of it, whether I ask for it or not. My task is to choose wisely when and how to face it head-on, knowing that happiness awaits on the other side.
24. What makes the author prefer “No pains, no pains”?
A. His terrible fear of pain. B. His deep love of exercise.
C. His great desire for health. D. His past experience of pain.
25. What results in people’s happiness according to the new study?
A. Their tolerance for stress. B. The connection with others.
C. Their ability to deal with stress. D. The achievement of their goals.
26. What does the author think of challenging tasks?
A. They are acute and lasting. B. They are tiring and boring.
C. They are stressful but rewarding. D. They are interesting but unhelpful.
27. How does the author treat stress in his life?
A. Seek it out purposefully. B. Handle it wisely.
C. Ask for help bravely. D. Wait until it disappears.

C
Fashions have a lot of rules. Most of them, however, are just wrong. But there’s one rule that goes beyond tradition and into the field of scientific study of the brain: Black garments are slimming. It all comes down to how your visual system processes the light. The below holes in each square are the same in size, yet the white hole looks bigger than the black hole.
In the 1500s, Galileo Galilei noticed that some of the planets looked larger when viewed with the naked eye (肉眼) than they did when viewed through a telescope, making the white light of Venus (金星) appear eight to ten times larger than Jupiter (木星) in the night sky. He knew something strange must be going on with his vision to cause this illusion, but he wasn’t sure what it was. Luckily, scientists never stopped wondering, and in 2014, they figured it out.
Our visual system operates via two main channels: “on” neurons (神经元) that are sensitive to light things and “off” neurons that are sensitive to dark things. When it came to the dark “off” neurons, the researchers found that they responded predictably to dark shapes on a light background — the greater the contrast between the two, the more active these neurons were. But the light “on” neurons behaved unpredictably. Even with the same amount of contrast, light objects on a dark background caused a greater response in these neurons.
This makes some sense, evolutionarily speaking. In the dark of night, you’d want to be able to take in every bit of light you can get, so a visual system that enlarges light objects on a dark background could be very useful. However, it’s not that hard to see dark objects in the light of day. It has some effects in the colors of your clothes and in the appearance of the planets — the brighter appearance of Venus in the night sky makes it look bigger than the darker Jupiter.
28. What did Galileo Galilei believe according to Paragraph 2?
A. The neurons led to the difference.
B. There was something wrong with his telescope.
C. The difference was caused by his visual illusion.
D. Things were bigger when seen through telescopes.
29. What do we know about the “off” neurons?
A. They are sensitive to light objects.
B. Their behavior can’t be predicted.
C. They behave differently from person to person.
D. Their activeness improves with the contrast of colors.
30. What does the author think of the phenomenon?
A. It makes people feel puzzled.
B. It brings great harm to people.
C. It is more common among youths.
D. It is beneficial to people’s evolution.
31. What is the text mainly about?
A. Why we look thinner when in black.
B. What visual illusions bring to people.
C. How we are affected by the fashion rules.
D. Whether people’s visual system is different.
D
“No matter where you are or what time it is there’s something going on at a Hard Rock Cafe. All over the world our cafes not only serve great food, but they serve up great music.” Hard Rock Cafes around the world symbolize the timeless energy, originality and unifying (团结的) spirit that have helped to shape rock music over the last century.
Founded by two Americans, the first Hard Rock Cafe (HRC) opened its doors to the public on June 14, 1971, in London. Today, HRC has become a global phenomenon with more than 180 cafes in different countries.
HRC has also become the world’s leading collector and exhibitor of rock ‘n’ roll memorabilia. It all started when Eric Clapton, a regular at the first HRC, asked the staff if they could hang his guitar on the wall to mark his favourite stool (凳子) as “his spot”. They did and one week later, a package from Pete Townshend arrived with a guitar and a note with the message, “Mine’s as good as his! Love, Pete.”
Ever since then, Hard Rock Cafes have been collecting pieces of rock memorabilia and covering their walls with them. Their collection is rotated from restaurant to restaurant and provides the world’s most comprehensive “visual history” of rock ‘n’ roll. These treasures include an awe-inspiring collection of classic guitars and other instruments, posters, music, etc.
Throughout its history, HRC has been governed by a special service philosophy: “Love All — Serve All.” Since it was established, HRC has taken part in a wide variety of humane activities around the world. Following its idea of being more than just a restaurant, HRC tries to connect its business and its passion to make the earth a safer, healthier and better place to live.
All in all, Hard Rock Cafe International is an entertainment company that continues to successfully expand the Hard Rock brand through countless music-related activities.
32. What is the purpose of the first paragraph?
A. To explain why HRC is a success.
B. To show the characteristics of HRC.
C. To describe the excellent service of HRC.
D. To introduce what you can share in a HRC.

But when we are online, we can’t see the person’s face and there is no emotion. ____40____ Scientists in Australia have discovered that when we look at a smiley face online, the same parts of the brain start working as when we look at a real smiley face.

One possible version:
Good family traditions are very important in our society, without which we can’t grow healthily both in mind and body.
When it comes to the most important family tradition, the first thought that comes to my mind is honesty. The reasons are as follows. First of all, honesty is necessary in communicating with others. It will lead to a lasting and enjoyable relationship. Besides, honesty makes our society run smoothly. Everything will go well only if everybody does their duty honestly. Without honesty, we would have to worry about so many things that we wouldn’t be able to achieve anything. Therefore, honesty is very important and should be passed down from generation to generation.
