Formal Afternoon Teas
A pot of tea, a plate of finger sandwiches and a selection of pastries and scones: In
America, this wonderful way to wile away the afternoon is commonly, though
mistakenly, known as “high tea.” In Britain, where it originated, “high tea” is simply an
old-fashioned name for the evening meal; it’s also called “meal tea.” The light, elegant,
scone-centric meal served at fancy hotels is called “low tea” or “afternoon tea”.
Whatever you call it, here are four places to get afternoon tea on Long Island. Prices are

What Theresa Loe is doing proves that a large farm isn’t a prerequisite for a
modern grow-your-own lifestyle. On a mere 1/10 of an acre in Los Angeles, Loe and
her family grow, can (装罐) and preserve much of the food they consume.
Loe is a master food preserver, gardener and canning expert. She also operates a
website, where she shares her tips and recipes, with the goal of demonstrating that
everyone has the ability to control what’s on their plate.
Loe initially went to school to become an engineer, but she quickly learned that her
enthusiasm was mainly about growing and preparing her own food. “ got into cooking
my own food and started growing my own herbs(香草)and foods for that fresh flavor,”
she said. Engineer by day, Loe learned cooking at night school. She ultimately
purchased a small piece of land with her husband and began growing their own foods.
“I teach people how to live farm-fresh without a farm,” Loe said. Through her
website Loe emphasizes that ‘‘anybody can do this anywhere.” Got an apartment with a
balcony ( 阳 台 )? Plant some herbs. A window? Perfect spot for growing. Start with
herbs, she recommends, because “they’re very forgiving.” Just a little of the herbs “can
take your regular cooking to a whole new level,” she added. “I think it’s a great place to
start.” Then? Try growing something from a seed, she said, like a tomato or some tea.
Canning is a natural extension of the planting she does. With every planted food,
Loe noted, there’s a moment when it’s bursting with its absolute peak flavor. “I try and
keep it in a time capsule in a canning jar,” Loe said. “Canning for me is about knowing
what’s in your food, knowing where it comes from.”
In addition to being more in touch with the food she’s eating, another joy comes
from passing this knowledge and this desire for good food to her children: “Influencing
them and telling them your opinion on not only being careful what we eat but
understanding the bigger picture,” she said, “that if we don’t take care of the earth, no
one will.”
24. The underlined word “prerequisite” (Para. 1) is closest in meaning to“ ”.
A. recipe B. substitute C. requirement D. challenge
25. Why does Loe suggest starting with herbs?
A. They are used daily. B. They are easy to grow.
C. They can grow very tall. D. They can be eaten uncooked.
26. According to Loe, what is the benefit of canning her planted foods?
A. It can preserve their best flavor. B. It can promote her online sales.C. It can better her cooking skills. D. It can improve their nutrition.
27. What is the “the bigger picture” (Para. 6) that Loe wishes her children to
understand?
A. The knowledge about good food.
B. The way to live a grow-our-own life.
C. The joy of getting in touch with foods.
D. The responsibility to protect our earth
C
The values of artistic works, according to cultural relativism( 相 对 主 义 ), are
simply reflections of local social and economic conditions. Such a view, however, fails
to explain the ability of some works of art to excite the human mind across cultures and
through centuries.
History has witnessed the endless productions of Shakespearean plays in every
major language of the world. It is never rare to find that Mozart packs Japanese concert
halls, as Japanese painter Hiroshige does Paris galleries, Unique works of this kind are
different from today’s popular art, even if they began as works of popular art. They
have set themselves apart in their timeless appeal and will probably be enjoyed for
centuries into the future.
In a 1757 essay, the philosopher David Hume argued that because“the general
principles of taste are uniform(始终如一的) in human nature,”the value of some works
of art might be essentially permanent. He observed that Homer was still admired after
two thousand years. Works of this type, he believed, spoke to deep and unvarying
features of human nature and could continue to exist over centuries.
Now researchers are applying scientific methods to the study of the universality of
art. For example, evolutionary psychology is being used by literary scholars to explain
the long-lasting themes and plot devices in fiction. The structures of musical pieces are
now open to experimental analysis as never before. Research findings seem to indicate
that the creation by a great artist is as permanent an achievement as the discovery by a
great scientist.
28. According to the passage, what do we know about cultural relativism?
A. It introduces different cultural values.
B. It explains the history of artistic works.
C. It relates artistic values to local conditions.
D. It excites the human mind throughout the world.
29. In Paragraph 2, the artists are mentioned in order to show that _____ .
A. great works of art can go beyond national boundaries
B. history gives art works special appeal to set them apart
C. popular arts are hardly distinguishable from great arts
D. great artists are skilled at combining various cultures
30. According to Hume, some works of art can exist for centuries because_____ .
A. they are results of scientific study
B. they establish some general principles of art
C. they are created by the world’s greatest artists
D. they appeal to unchanging features of human nature
31. Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage?
A. Are Artistic Values Universal? B. Are Popular Arts Permanent?
C. Is Human Nature Uniform? D. Is Cultural Relativism Scientific?
D
A large body of research has been developed in recent years to explain many
aspects of willpower. Most of the researchers exploring self-control do so with an obvious goal in mind: How can willpower be strengthened? If willpower is truly a
limited resource, as the research suggests, what can be done to make it stay strong?
Avoiding temptation (诱惑 ) is an effective method for maintaining self-control,
which is called the “out of sight, out of mind” principle. One recent study, for instance,
found office workers less attracted to candy in the desk drawer than that on top of their
desks, in plain sight.
The research suggesting that we possess a limited reservoir of self-control raises a
troubling question. When we face too many temptations, are we to fail? Not necessarily.
Researchers don’t believe that one’s willpower is ever completely exhausted. Rather,
people appear to hold some willpower in reserve, saved for future demands. The right
motivation allows us to tap into those reserves, allowing us to carry on even when our
self-control strength has been run down. High motivation might help overcome
weakened willpower-at least to a point.
Willpower may also be made less vulnerable（脆弱）to being exhausted in the
first place. Researchers who study self-control often describe it as being like a muscle
that gets tired with heavy use. But there is another aspect to the muscle comparison,
they say. While muscles become exhausted by exercise in the short term, they are
strengthened by regular exercise in the long term. Similarly, regular practices of
self-control may improve willpower strength.
The evidence from willpower-exhaustion studies also suggests that making a list of
resolutions on New Year’s Eve is the worst possible approach. Being exhausted in one
area can reduce willpower in other areas, so it makes more sense to focus on a single
goal at a time. In other words, don’t try to quit smoking, adopt a healthy diet and start a
new exercise plan at the same time. Taking goals one by one is a better approach. Once
a good habit is in place, Baumeister says, you’ll no longer need to draw on your
willpower to maintain the behavior. Eventually healthy habits will become routine, and
won’t require making decisions at all.
32. From the studies in the passage we learn that .
A. people have unlimited self-control
B. high motivation ensures one’s success
C. willpower is hardly completely exhausted
D. too many temptations often lead to failure
33. The underlined phrase “tap into” in Paragraph 3 most probably means .
A. make use of B. run out of C. build D. increase
34. The author compares self –control to muscles .
A. to prove the long-term effect of willpower
B. to show the significance of regular exercise
C. to argue that self-control can he easily used up
D. to explain the benefits of practicing self-control
35. To develop a good habit, which of the following does the author prefer?
A. “I will give up dessert and do exercise.”
B. “I will set three goals this new semester.”
C. “I will read an English novel every month.”
D. “I will keep myself from any temptation.”

32．词义猜测题。根据首段第二句“On a mere 1/10 of an acre … and preserve much of the food they
consume”可知面积并不是硬要求。该句句意为：Loe 在那里所做的一切证明，一个大农场对“自
己种植”现代生活方式来说并不是一个硬要求。故选 C 项。
33．细节理解题。根据第四段中“Start with herbs, she recommends, because “they’re very
forgiving.” Just a little of the herbs “can take your regular cooking to a whole new level,” she
added. ”可知香草很容易生长。故选 B 项。
34．细节理解题。根据第五段中“there is a moment when it’s bursting with its absolute peak
flavor. ‘I try to keep it in a time capsule in a canning jar,’”可知将种植的事物装入密封罐中保存的
好处是能够保持最佳的风味。故选 A 项。
35．词义猜测题。根据最后一段中尾句“that if we don’t take care of the earth, no one will”可知 the
bigger picture 指的是保护地球的责任。故选 D 项。
C 篇 CADA
【解析】本文是说明文，主要介绍了根据文化相对主义，艺术作品在永恒受欢迎的原因是人
类的审美具有共同性，并且就此展开说明。
28．细节理解题。根据第一段第一句话 The values of artistic works, according to cultural
relativism(相对主义), are simply reflections of local social and economic conditions.可知根据相对
主义，艺术作品就是把艺术的价值与当地的社会经济条件结合在一块，故选 C 项。
29．推理判断题。根据第二段内容可知，在日本的音乐厅里发现莫扎特，就像在巴黎的画廊
发现日本画家弘之治一样，这并不罕见。因此推断，提到这些艺术家是为了说明艺术作品可
以超越国界，故选 A 项。
30．细节理解题。根据第三段第一句话 In a 1757 essay, the philosopher David Hume argued that
because“the general principles of taste are uniform(不变的) in human nature,”the value of some
works of art might be essentially permanent. 可知 David 认为由于“品味的一般原则在人性中是不
变的”，某些艺术作品的价值可能本质上是永恒的。所以一些艺术是可能会永生的，故选 D 项。
31．主旨大意题。本文主要从相对论的角度来说，艺术的价值只能反应当时的社会经济，作
者提出不同的观点，探讨了艺术是普遍的观点。故 A 项“艺术价值是普遍的吗？”故选 A。
D 篇 CADC
【解析】这是一篇议论文。短文列举了关于意志力的几种研究和观点，作者认为有了明确的目标，良好的自我监督和练习，就可以在面对诱惑时使意志力保持坚强。
24．细节推理题。根据第三段 Researchers don’t believe that one’s willpower is ever completely
exhausted. Rather, people appear to hold some willpower in reserve, saved for future demands.可知，
研究人员不相信人的意志力会完全耗尽，他们还有备用的和为将来需求节省的意志力。所以
从文章中的研究我们了解到意志力几乎没有完全丧失。故 C 选项正确。
25．猜测词义题。由第三段“The right motivation allows us to tap into those reserves, allowing us
to carry on even when our self-control strength has been run down.”可知，正确的动机使我们能够
利用这些储备，即使我们的自我控制能力已经被消耗殆尽，我们仍然可以继续前进。所以通
过上下文的语境，判断出“tap into”指利用，与 make use of 同义。故 A 选项正确。
26．推理判断题。根据第四段 While muscles become exhausted by exercise in the short term, they
are strengthened by regular exercise in the long term. Similarly, regular practices of self-control may
improve willpower strength.可知，虽然肌肉在短期内会因运动而疲惫不堪，但长期而言，它们
会通过经常锻炼而增强。同样规律的自我控制可以提高意志力。两者相比是为了说明同一个
道理：长期的锻炼和自我控制的好处。所以作者把自我控制比作肌肉是为了解释自我控制的
好处。故 D 选项正确。
27．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段 Taking goals one by one is a better approach. Once a good habit
is in place, you’ll no longer need to draw on your willpower to maintain the behavior. Eventually
healthy habits will become routine, and won’t require making decisions at all.可知，作者认为一个
接一个的制定目标是一个更好的方法。一旦养成好习惯，你就不再需要依靠意志力来维持自
己的行为。最终健康的习惯将成为惯例，而且不需要做任何决定。所以 C 项“I will read an
English novel every month.”是先设立目标，然后成为好习惯，作者更喜欢这种目标。故 C 选
项正确。
【点睛】
根据事物的定义或者对事物总体的概括，从而判断出哪些具体事物或者具体的实践应该属于
定义的范围或者是概括的范围是我们经常见到的推理判断题的题型。要解决这样的判断题，
首先要讲对事物的定义或者对事物的总体概括要读清楚，然后根据对比 4 个选项，哪个选项
在定义或者概括范围内的。哪个就是正确的答案。
由倒数第二段 Taking goals one by one is a better approach. Once a good habit is in place, you’ll
no longer need to draw on your willpower to maintain the behavior. Eventually healthy habits will
become routine, and won’t require making decisions at all.可知，作者认为一个接一个的制定目标
是一个更好的方法。一旦养成好习惯，你就不再需要依靠意志力来维持自己的行为。最终健
康的习惯将成为惯例，而且不需要做任何决定。C 项“I will read an English novel every month.”
是先设立目标，然后成为好习惯，作者更喜欢这种目标。故小题 4 的正确选项为 C 选项。

来改变你自己，过上更好的生活。这里有一些选择将会导致你的转变。

以克服它们，找到更好的选择，并通过你的奋斗来成为一个更好的你！”承接上下文，C 项 Make
the choice today that you won’t be ruled by them.（今天就做出选择吧，你将不会被他们所统治。）
切题。故选 C。
37．上文提示“人们很容易陷入固定的生活方式中。”再根据下文提示“在选择成长的过程中，
你塑造性格，培养自己的长处，意识到需要改进的地方，并成为你成功的全面发展的人。”承
接上下文，E 项 However, with re-evaluation and growth comes a beautiful freedom.（然而，重新
评价和成长带来了美丽的自由。）切题。该项中的 growth 与下文的 grow 相吻合。故选 E。
38．上文提示“你在哪里需要平衡？你们都在工作，不玩耍吗？还是相反?”下文提示“如果你花
太多的时间在工作或独自呆着，那就找时间进行社交互动和娱乐。”承接上下文，D 项 Neither
extreme will lead you to a pleasant life for very long.（这两种极端都不会让你在很长一段时间里过着愉快的生活。）切题。该项中的 this 指的就是上文所提示的内容。故选 D。
39．此处是一个小标题，根据上下标题可知答案在 A/B 中选择。本段内容提示“这对人类的生
存至关重要。我们需要家庭成员和朋友建立的爱的纽带。”由此推知，A 项 Choose to spend time
with those you love（选择花时间和你爱的人在一起）。Love 是关键词，故选 A。
40．上文提示“无论付出什么代价，都要选择去追求那些激情。这可能意味着你要清空你的日
程表，或者做一些你从未做过的事情。”承接上文，G 项 However, the reward from success and
personal accomplishment will be worth it.（然而，成功和个人成就的回报是值得的。）切题。该
项中的 the reward 和 be worth 与上文中的 whatever cost 构成一种转折关系，故答案为 G。
【点睛】
在做七选五时一定要注意 and/but/so/besides/however/furthermore/moreover/in addition/what’s
more 等词汇、固定结构的运用。它们连接了上下文，起着承上起下的作用。像 but（但是）、
however（然而），表示转折，这说明前后的内容相反或相对。把握住这一点，做起题来就会得
心应手。本题第 5 小题，G 项 However, the reward from success and personal accomplishment will
be worth it.（然而，成功和个人成就的回报是值得的。）切题。该项中的 the reward 和 be worth
与上文中的 whatever cost 构成一种转折关系。

语法填空
本文是一篇科普文章。如果一个人形机器人请求你不要关掉它，你会表示同情吗?文章介绍了
被称作 Nao 的乞讨机器人。61．考查过去分词。句意：在一项旨在了解人们如何对待机器人的实验中，许多参与者都在
努力切断一个名叫“机器人”的乞讨机器人的电源。此处 experiment 和 intend 之间是一种被动关
系，是过去分词作后置定语，故答案为 intended。
62．考查定冠词 the。句意：这项实验是由德国的研究人员进行的，他们的研究结果发表在科
学杂志 PLOSOne 上。此处特指上文提到的实验，故答案为 The。
63．考查被动语态。句意：这项实验是由德国的研究人员进行的，他们的研究结果发表在科
学杂志 PLOSOne 上。此处 findings 是定语从句的主语，复数形式，和 publish 之间是被动关系，
结合句意这里应该是一般过去时态的被动语态，故答案为 were published。
64．考查定语从句。句意：Nao 被设计要求大约一半的参与者不要关掉它但不是另一半，他被
用来测量是否他的乞求影响了人们的反应。此处 Nao 是先行词，指物，在后面的非限制性定
语从句中作主语，故答案为 which。
65．考查固定结构。句意：Nao 被设计要求大约一半的参与者不要关掉它但不是另一半，他被
用来测量是否他的乞求影响了人们的反应。be used to do sth.被用来做某事，故答案为 to
measure。
66．考查形容词性物主代词。句意：在之前的一项实验中，研究人员发现，人们更喜欢与与
自己性格互补的机器人交流。此处 own“自己的”，是形容词，后面省略了名词，前面用形容词
性的物主代词，故答案为 their。
67．考查现在分词。句意：由于机器人既可以用人类的声音说话，也可以表现出人类的身体
形状，因此研究表明，人们倾向于“对它们做出社交反应”。此处是现在分词作后置定语，故答
案为 speaking。
68．考查副词。句意：由于机器人既可以用人类的声音说话，也可以表现出人类的身体形状，
因此研究表明，人们尤其倾向于“对它们做出社交反应”。此处是副词修饰动词，故答案为
especially。
69．考查名词。句意：研究人员说，他们的研究结果的一个可能解释是，人们认为 Nao 的乞
讨行为是“自己做出决定的一个信号”。此处是形容词修饰名词，故答案为 explanation。
70．考查固定搭配。句意：研究人员说，他们的研究结果的一个可能解释是，人们认为 Nao
的乞讨行为是“自己做出决定的一个信号”。regard---as---“把---当作---”，故答案为 as。
【点睛】
分析定语从句关键抓住两点：第一、找准先行词；第二、看先行词在定语从句中所作的成分。
先行词往往为名词或代词，如本题第 4 小题中，先行词为名词 Nao，指物，再分析先行词 Nao
在定语从句中所作的成分，将先行词 Nao 带到从句中可知，只能作主语，且是非限制性定语
从句，故确定关系词为 which。
改错
1、but→and 2、others →other 3、here→ there 4、are→were 5、simply→simple 6、加 was
7、去掉 a 8、lesson→lessons 9、realized→ realizing
10、becoming→become
【解析】
试题分析：在暑假时，李磊和其他志愿者一起去一个小镇上支教。
【小题 1】but→and 考查连词。上下文之间是并列关系，不是转折，所以用 and。
【小题 2】others →other 考查形容词。 Other volunteers=others，别的志愿者，所以用
other。
【小题 3】here→there 考查副词。他发现人们住在那里，故用 there。
【小题 4】are→were 考查时态。全文使用的是过去时态，用 were。
【小题 5】simply→simple 考查形容词。修饰名词用形容词，故用 simple。
【小题 6】加 was 考查固定词组, be used to（doing）sth 习惯于做某事
【小题 7】去掉 a 考查冠词。At night 在晚上，固定搭配，去掉 a。
【小题 8】lesson→lessons 考查名词。可数名词，用复数，所以用 lessons。
【小题 9】Realized→Realizing 考查动词。非谓语动词，动词与主语之间是主动关系，用Realizing。
【小题 10】becoming→become 考查固定用法。Make up one’s mind to do sth 下定决心做某
事 ，用 become。
考点：考查了动词、副词、冠词、名词、形容词、时态等的用法
书面表达
Dear Jenny,
How is your survey on mobile payment going? I’m glad I can help with it.
It is generally believed that China is the largest mobile payment market. Nowhere else is the
cashless trend more obvious than in China. Most of us are used to paying by scanning QR codes
whatever we buy—books, clothes, and electronic devices, to name a few, which is a glimpse into the
life of most Chinese like me and my family.
With the widespread use of mobile payment, Wechat or Alipay is the most convenient and safest
way to pay. We rarely need to carry a wallet or cash at all. Besides, never will we worry about getting
fake notes or having to count change. In short, mobile payment has greatly changed people's life in
China.
Personally, I think mobile payment should be encouraged. First, it has won over consumers with
its convenience. Another advantage is that there are often discounts if you make mobile payment, as
major online payment platforms are competing to have more consumers use their service.
I hope my explanation can be of some help to you. Wish you good luck.
Yours faithfully,
Li Hua
