While most of us tend to move on after mourning over the lost necessities, there are a few lucky ones who get them back, with the help of the police or the generosity of the person who finds it.‎ And then there is Hunter Shamatt, who not only got back his wallet but with some added happiness that was tagged along!‎ Hunter was on his way to attend his sister’s wedding on a Las Vegas-bound flight when he ‎ realized that he has misplaced his wallet, sometime during the journey. Hunter’s family reached out to the Frontier flight to enquire if someone had handed it over to them. Unfortunately, there was no sign of the missing wallet.‎ But wait. The story was far from over. Just a week after Hunter’s sister’s wedding, he received a package in his mail. And guess what? There was his wallet! Surprisingly, the wallet was not the only thing that was inside the package. It also had a handwritten note for Hunter which turned out to be a bonus! The piece of paper read,‎ ‎“Hunter, Found this on a Frontier flight from Omaha to Denver — row 12, seat F wedged between the seat and wall. Thought you might want it back. All the best.‎ P.S. I rounded your cash up to an even $100, so you could celebrate getting your wallet back. HAVE FUN!!!”‎ Moved by the touching gesture, Hunter’s mom, Jeannie Shamatt, decided to write a post on Facebook giving a detailed description of the incident. She also urged everyone to share the post as she would like to meet and greet the person behind the act of kindness, personally.‎ Now, thanks to the astonishing power of social media, the post finally reached the man behind the note. The man was identified as Todd Brown and it was one of his co-workers who made sure Jeannie Shamatt’s post reaches his colleague. Jeannie turned to Facebook again to thank Brown and his family for restoring her faith in humanity.‎ ‎“I try to teach my children to do the right things in life, help people when you can regardless of the outcome. This story is more about restoring faith in people than anything. We hear a lot of bad news but not enough good news.

This raises the question whether the time spent asleep could be used more productively, e.g. for learning a new language? Up-to-now sleep research focused on the stabilization and strengthening of memories that had been formed during wakefulness. However, learning during sleep has rarely been examined. There is enough evidence for wake-learned information undergoing a revision by replay in the sleeping brain. The replay during sleep strengthens the still weak memory and leaves the newly acquired information in the pre-existing store of knowledge.‎ If re-play during sleep improves the storage of wake-learned information, then first-play, i.e. the initial processing of new information, should also be possible during sleep.‎ The research group of Katharina Henke examined whether a sleeping person is able to form new semantic（语义的）associations between played foreign words and translation words during the brain cells’ active states, the so-called “Up-states.” It turned out to be that what they thought was reasonable. When we reach deep sleep stages, our brain cells progressively coordinate their activity. During deep sleep, the brain cells are commonly active for a brief period of time before they jointly enter into a state of brief inactivity. The active state is called “Up-state” and the inactive state “Down-state”. The two states alternate（交替）about every half-second.‎ New evidence for sleep-learning challenges current theories of sleep and theories of memory. The concept of sleep that we are separated from the physical environment is no longer reasonable. "It’s false that complex learning be impossible during deep sleep," says Simon Ruch, co-first-author. "In how far and with what consequences deep sleep can be applied for the acquisition of new information will be a topic of research in upcoming years," says Katharina Henke.‎ The research group of Katharina Henke is part of the Interfaculty Research Cooperation (IRC). Thirteen research groups in medicine, biology and psychology are part of the IRC. The aim of these research groups is to gain a better understanding of the mechanisms（原理）involved in sleep and ‎ consciousness.‎ ‎38. Which of the followings haven’t sleep researchers achieved so far?‎ A. People can learn vocabulary during deep sleep.‎ B. Memories can be stable and strong during sleep.‎ C. Wake-learned information can appear in the sleeping brain.‎ D. Re-play during sleep improves the storage of wake-learned information.‎ ‎39. What can be inferred from Paragraph 3?‎ A. “Up-state” and “Down-state” appear in turn during deep sleep.‎ B. “Up-states” is another name for the brain cells’ active states.‎ C. Semantic associations are important for language learning.‎ D. The brain cells’ active states are central for sleep-learning.‎ ‎40. What will researchers do within several years according to the passage?‎ A. Make study in the following fields such as medicine and biology.‎ B. Separate us from the physical environment.‎ C. Apply deep sleep for information learning.‎ D. Discover the concept of sleep.‎ ‎41. What is the main purpose of the passage?‎ A. To introduce a new way of vocabulary learning.‎ B. To gain a better understanding of the mechanisms.‎ C. To challenge current theories of sleep and theories of memory.‎ D. To explain the possibility of vocabulary learning during deep sleep.‎ ‎【答案】38. A 39. D 40. C 41. D ‎【解析】‎ 这是一篇说明文。文章通过研究，论证了在睡眠过程中学习新的语言的可能性。‎ ‎【38题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“This raises the question whether the time spent asleep could be used more productively, e.g. for learning a new language? Up-to-now sleep research focused on the stabilization and strengthening of memories that had been formed during wakefulness. However, learning during sleep has rarely been examined.”‎ 可知，到目前为止，有关睡眠的研究中心为：清醒时形成的记忆会保持稳定性，同时会得到增强。然而，睡眠的时间能否被更高效的使用，例如学习一门新语言，几乎没有被研究。故A选项切题。‎ ‎【39题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“The research group of Katharina Henke examined whether a sleeping person is able to form new semantic（语义的）associations between played foreign words and translation words during the brain cells’ active states, the so-called “Up-states.” It turned out to be that what they thought was reasonable”可知，研究小组研究了睡觉的人是否能够在脑细胞活动状态下，即所谓的“Up-states”，在被播放的外来词和翻译之间形成新的语义联系。结果证明他们的想法是合理的。这就表明，当大脑处于“Up-states”时，可以进行语言学习。在这个过程中，“Up-states”起着关键作用。故D选项正确。‎ ‎【40题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“…deep sleep can be applied for the acquisition of new information will be a topic of research in upcoming years”可知，在未来几年中，如何运用深层睡眠获取新信息将是研究的主题。故C选项正确。‎ ‎【41题详解】‎ 第一段提出问题：This raises the question whether the time spent asleep could be used more productively, e.g. for learning a new language? 是否可以更有效地利用睡眠时间，例如用于学习一种新语言？第二段回答该问题：then first-play, i.e. the initial processing of new information, should also be possible during sleep.……对新信息的初始处理，在睡眠期间也应该是可能的。第三段通过研究提出证据证明了第二段的理论。最后两段进行了一些补充说明。因此，整篇文章的写作目的就是为了说明：在睡眠中，学习新的语言是可能的。故D选项正确。‎ D The Secret to Happiness A new report makes it clear that when it comes to the life satisfaction of UK citizens, the ball is in the government’s court. For some time, sensible people have been arguing that governments need to focus less on economic growth and more on the wellbeing（幸福）of citizens. Be careful what you wish for.‎ In response to this demand, from 2011 David Cameron instructed the Office for National Statistics to gather data on people’s self-reported happiness and life satisfaction. Little practical good has come from this so far, but a new report by George Bangham for the Resolution Foundation is one of the best attempts to make useful sense of the data. He concludes: “The best prospects for ‎ policymakers targeting future increases in national wellbeing lie in raising job quality, raising incomes, particularly at the lower end, and policies to improve security in the housing market.”‎ The age correlation（相关）turns out to be certainly linked to politics, despite the fact that no political party can make a difference to your date of birth. The happiness of pensioners is not just a function of their age, but of policy. On average, 70-year-old boomers today are the most affluent retirees in history, often owning their own homes and in receipt of generous pensions. People of 70 are not going to be as content in 30 or 40 years’ time if they are unable to retire, don’t own their homes and have small incomes.‎ However, there is one respect in which teens and recent retirees are remarkably similar. Compared to other age groups, they tend to inhabit a sweet spot of having high degrees of freedom. The typical 16-year-old has new freedoms without ever having had any serious responsibilities. The typical 70-year-old, having experienced a lifetime of work and family duties, has a very different kind of freedom, one born from relief.‎ Besides，it should not surprise us to find that people tend to be happier when they have fewer worries. But this, too, has important political implications. If the government is really interested in raising overall national happiness, it has to make sure as many citizens as possible feel secure in their health, their housing and their incomes. Different states’ records in achieving this is one important reason why Nordic countries repeatedly score highly in international life satisfaction surveys and North America underperforms relative to its GDP.‎ Whichever way you look at it, there is no escaping the conclusion that increasing wellbeing across society requires joined-up, long-term policy efforts. This is exactly what the Resolution Foundation recommends.‎ ‎42. What can be conveyed from the sentence “the ball is in the government’s court” in Paragraph 1?‎ A. The government officials are fond of playing ball games.‎ B. The government determines national happiness.‎ C. The government makes citizens feel happy.‎ D. The government is in a ball game.‎ ‎43. What does the underlined word “affluent” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?‎ A. Responsible. B. Careful.‎ C. Honest. D. Rich.‎ ‎44. According to the author, the secret to happiness is freedom and _________.‎ A. income B. health C. security D. destiny ‎45. What is the author’s attitude to the function of government on national happiness?‎ A. Negative. B. Positive.‎ C. Doubtful. D. Unsatisfactory.‎ ‎【答案】42. B 43. D 44. C 45. B ‎【解析】‎ ‎【分析】‎ 这是一篇说明文。文章通过论述，告诉读者：提高全社会的福祉需要共同的、长期的政策努力。政府在提高全民幸福感方面起着关键作用。‎ ‎【42题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“For some time, sensible people have been arguing that governments need to focus less on economic growth and more on the wellbeing（幸福）of citizens.”可知，一段时间以来，明智的人们一直认为，政府需要少关注经济增长，多关注公民的福祉。由此可知，公民是否幸福取决于政府对此的关注度。故“the ball is in the government’s court”想表达的意思应该是“公民的幸福取决于政府”，故B选项正确。‎ ‎【43题详解】‎ 词义猜测题。根据后文的“often owning their own homes and in receipt of generous pensions”可知，第一批“婴潮者”现在70来岁，他们拥有自己的房子并领取可观的退休金。由此推知，这些人生活很富足，故划线单词意思为“富有的”，D选项正确。‎ ‎【44题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“If the government is really interested in raising overall national happiness, it has to make sure as many citizens as possible feel secure in their health, their housing and their incomes.”可知，如果政府真的对提高整体国民幸福感兴趣，就必须确保尽可能多的公民在健康、住房和收入方面感到安全。由此可知，安全感是衡量人们是否幸福的一个关键标准。故C选项正确。‎ ‎【45题详解】‎ 观点态度题。根据第一段中的“A new report makes it clear that when it comes to the life satisfaction of UK citizens, the ball is in the government’s court”‎ 可知，政府决定着公民们的幸福感。第二段到第四段对此进行了具体阐述。最后一段中的“there is no escaping the conclusion that increasing wellbeing across society requires joined-up, long-term policy efforts.”得出结论，提高全社会的福祉需要共同的、长期的政策努力。综上，整篇文章一直在强调政府在公民的幸福方面起着关键作用。故作者对此持积极态度。B选项正确。‎ ‎【点睛】根据语境猜测词义：语境既上下文。由于上下文中的生词不是孤立存在的，其词义与句中其它词的词义或具体的语境有着密切的联系。因此在阅读过程中，许多生词的词义可以充分利用上下文中相关的词汇，短语并结合具体的语境来推测。例如在第二小题中，考生必须根据下文“often owning their own homes and in receipt of generous pensions”才可以推知画线词语的意思。‎ 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ A Diet Without Enough Protein Can Cause Depression Depression is a condition so common, the World Health Organization (WHO) calls it “a leading cause of disability.”‎ Difficulty in falling asleep, loss of appetite, and loss of ability to concentrate are just a few of the other effects of depression. WHO estimates that worldwide, at any one time, 350 million people suffer from the condition. While life events such as the loss of a spouse or a job may create a happening of depression, many cases come from within and are not caused by a life event.‎ Now scientists are working on a new aspect of cure: nutrition. ___46___ The Indian Journal of Psychiartry reports that both before and during a happening of depression, those with the condition will show a “poor appetite…” ___47___ Many cases of depression, if not most cases, affect those who don’t eat properly.‎ So what does protein have to do with all this? It all comes down to amino acids (氨基酸). Proteins are made up of amino acids, chemicals known as the “building blocks of life.” There are 20 different amino acids. ___48___‎ Both the human brain and nervous system use amino acids as a substance that creates a signal from one brain cell to another or one nerve cell to another, thus relaying information between the cells. What the final result then? ___49___‎ Since amino acids make up protein, a diet which lacks in protein will cause weaker ‎ communication between the brain cells. This lessens the signal being sent from one brain cell to the next during a thought. ___50___ This is why depression can often express itself as anger or aggression.‎ A. The ultimate effect is how we think.‎ B. Don't ruin your appetite by eating between meals.‎ C. Skipping meals itself can create a depressed mood.‎ D. A new research suggests that nutrition can lessen some of the risks of depression.‎ E. India is perhaps the world’s leader in researching the connection between diet and depression.‎ F. Many of them are made by the human body, but nine others, the “essential” amino acids, must be eaten in one’s diet.‎ G. The process can lead to twisted signals, which can not only lead to depression, but also, according to many scientists, aggression.‎ ‎【答案】46. E 47. C ‎ ‎48. F 49. A ‎ ‎50. G ‎【解析】‎ 这是一篇说明文。文章表明：通过营养饮食可以在一定程度上治疗抑郁。文章详细介绍了“营养”和“抑郁”的关系。‎ ‎【46题详解】‎ 前一句提到：科学家们正在致力于治疗抑郁症的一种方法：营养。下一句提到了印度精神病学杂志的报告。该空位于中间，选项中和前后句都有联系的只有E选项：在研究饮食和抑郁症之间的联系方面，印度也许是世界上领先的国家。故选E。‎ ‎【47题详解】‎ 前一句提到：《印度精神病学杂志》报道，在抑郁症发生之前和期间，有这种情况的人将显示出一个“食欲减退......”后一句提到：许多抑郁症的病例，如果不是大多数的话，都会影响那些没有适当饮食的人。选项中只有C选项提到不当饮食：不吃饭本身就会造成抑郁情绪。‎ ‎【48题详解】‎ 前一句提到：有20种不同的氨基酸。该空承接上文，应该提到和氨基酸有关的话题，故F选项切题：其中许多（氨基酸）是由人体制造的，但另外九种，即“必需的”氨基酸，必须在饮食中食用。‎ ‎【49题详解】‎ 上文提到：人类大脑和神经系统都使用氨基酸作为一种物质，从一个脑细胞向另一个脑细胞或从一个神经细胞向另一个神经细胞发出信号，从而在细胞之间传递信息。最后的结果是什么？那么该句应该回答这个问题，提到最后的结果。故A选项正确：最终的效果是我们的思考方式。‎ ‎【50题详解】‎ 上文提到：由于氨基酸构成了蛋白质，缺乏蛋白质的饮食会导致脑细胞间的交流减弱。这减少了思考过程中从一个脑细胞发送到另一个脑细胞的信号。G选项正确：这一过程可能导致信号扭曲，这不仅可能导致抑郁，而且，根据许多科学家的说法，攻击性。这就是为什么抑郁常常表现为愤怒或侵略。‎ 第三部分书面表达（共两节，35分）‎ 第一节（15分）‎ ‎51.假设你是红星中学高三学生李华，请给你同班的美国留学生Jim写一封电子邮件，邀请他周末到学校对面刚开业的文化中心去做义工。内容包括：‎ ‎1. 目的和意义；‎ ‎2. 时间、地点和内容；‎ ‎3. 请求回复。‎ 注意：1. 词数不少于50；‎ ‎2. 开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。‎ Dear Jim,‎ ‎_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________‎ Yours,‎ Li Hua ‎【答案】Dear Jim,‎ I'm writing this letter to invite you to the Cultural Center of our city to do voluntary work with us on Sunday, which can make our spare time more meaningful.‎ The Cultural Center lies opposite to our school.

Your early reply is greatly appreciated.‎ Yours,‎ Li Hua ‎【解析】‎ ‎【分析】‎ 这是一篇半开放式作文。要求你给同班的美国留学生Jim写一封电子邮件，邀请他周末去做义工。‎ ‎【详解】题目要求和内容难度不大，比较好写。因为所给提示内容发挥空间比较大，考生首先要明确自己要写的具体内容，列出写作大纲，然后在遣词造句方面对主体内容进行扩展。切忌边想边写。整篇文章应该以现在时态和将来时态为主。‎ ‎【点睛】所给范文内容丰富具体，条理明确，长短句交叉使用，行文流畅。充分利用了一些较高级的词汇和句式，例如：1. 非谓语动词（to invite you to the Cultural Center of our city to do voluntary work；providing visitors with more detailed information）2. 定语从句（which can make our spare time more meaningful）‎ ‎3. be of great benefit等，使文章增色不少。‎ 第二节 （20分）‎ ‎52.假设你是红星中学高三学生李华，请根据以下四幅图的先后顺序，写一篇英文周记，记述你们班庆祝王老师即将退休的活动的全过程。‎ 注意：词数不少于60。‎ ‎_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎【答案】Last Monday I was walking on the campus when I heard two students saying that Mrs. Wang, who had been teaching us English for two years, would retire the next month.‎ I returned to the classroom and shared the news with my classmates. To express our thanks to Mrs. Wang for his patient teaching, we agreed on a celebration after a heated discussion.‎ After school we began to make preparations. I went to the flower shop to buy a bunch of flowers, representing our love and respect for our dear teacher.

May you be happy ‎ every day.” With tears in her eyes, Mrs. Wang was greatly moved by what we did!
