At dinner, Mama asked Malik, “How’s your 15 with the coach?”
Malik was captain of school soccer team, and he had to discuss a fundraiser with the coach. They’d have to raise

Unwillingly, Malik said, “It’s just team stuff.” Changing the 18 , Malik turned to Gidda. “Do you want to go sit

High-Wire Act
Mickey Wilson had been on the mountain only a few seconds when he heard the scream. Wilson, 28 years old, had
just gotten off the cable car (索道缆车) at the Arapahoe Basin Ski Area in Keystone, Colorado, along with his
friends Billy Simmons and Hans Mueller. Their friend Richard had been on the cable car ahead of them, but when
the men reached the top of the lift, he had disappeared. The men walked toward the source of the scream and found
skiers stopped on the slope, pointing to the cable car. And then the friends screamed too.
“Oh, Richard!” yelled Mueller.
When Richard had tried to jump off the cable car, his backpack had been caught in the chair, which then dragged
him back down the hill. In the process, the backpack belt twisted around his neck, making him breathless. Now
Richard’s body was swinging four feet above the snow. The cable car operator had quickly stopped it, and the
friends kicked off their skis and ran toward the scene. They made a human pyramid to try to reach Richard, but the
unconscious man was too far off the ground. With the clock ticking, Wilson ran to the ladder of a nearby lift tower.
Scared skiers watched as he struggled the 25 feet. After he reached the top, Wilson’s first challenge was to climb
onto the two-inch steel cable that held the chairs. He handled the balance and height bravely, but he knew he could
not walk on the cable. Therefore, he calmed down and sat over it and then used his hands to pull himself to Richard
quickly. Wilson’s greatest fear wasn’t that he’d fall, but that he wouldn’t reach Richard. “This was life or death,”
he said.
When he reached Richard’s chair, Wilson swung a leg over the cable and attempted to drop down onto it. But as he
did that, his jacket caught on the movable footrest, which was in the up position. The footrest began to slide down,
with Wilson attached. But before that could happen, he managed to free himself and reached Richard.
Fortunately, the ski patrol (巡查) had gathered below and performed emergency treatment on Richard, who had
been hanging for about five minutes, then skied him down to an ambulance.
That night, Richard called from the hospital to express his thanks to Wilson, his other friends and the workers at the
Arapahoe Basin Ski Area.
34. What happened to Richard when he tried to jump off the cable car?A. He was sick and became unconscious.
B. He left his skis which stopped the cable car.
C. He was too afraid to move forward in the cable car.
D. He was caught by the neck, hanging down the cable.
35. How did Richard survive?
A. People worked together and saved him.
B. Wilson climbed on the cable and saved him.
C. The ski patrol got him down and treated him.
D. Skiers treated him and carried him to the hospital.
36. The author wrote the fourth paragraph to show that _______.
A. the rescue process was dangerous
B. something was wrong with the cable car
C. Wilson could manage the process very well
D. the operator of the cable car ignored his duty
37. The story at the Arapahoe Basin Ski Area mainly tells us ______.
A. it is very dangerous to go skiing
B. he that climbs high often falls heavily
C. bravery and calm can help you make a difference
D. a person with a great talent always has great will-power
C
Running on Empty
For almost a century, scientists have assumed, tiredness—or exhaustion—in athletes originates(起源于) in the muscles. Precise explanations have varied, but all have been based on the “Limitations Theory”. In other words,
muscles tire because they hit a physical limit: they either run out of fuel or oxygen or they drown in harmful by-
products(副产品).
In the past few years, however, Timothy Noakes from the University of Cape Town, South Africa, has examined
this standard theory. Tiredness, he argues, is caused not by signals springing from overtaxed muscles, but is an
emotional response which begins in the brain. The fundamental nature of his new theory is that the brain paces the
muscles to keep them well back from the edge of exhaustion. When the brain decides it’s time to quit, it creates
unbearable muscle tiredness. This “Central Governor” theory remains controversial, but it does explain many
puzzling aspects of athletic performance.
A recent discovery that Noakes calls the “lactic acid paradox” made him start researching this area seriously. Lactic
acid is a by-product of exercise, and the increase of it is often mentioned as a cause of tiredness. But when research
subjects exercise in certain conditions created artificially, they become tired even though lactic acid levels remain
low. Nor has the oxygen content of their blood fallen too low for them to keep going. Obviously, something else
was making them tire before they hit either of these physiological limits.
Noakes conducted an experiment with seven cyclists. It has long been known that during exercise, the body never
uses 100% of the available muscle fibres(纤维). The amount used varies, but in some tasks such as this cycling test
the body calls on about 30%. His team found that as tiredness set in, the electrical activity in cyclist’s legs
declined—even when they were making a great effort to cycle as fast as they could.
To Noakes, this was strong evidence that the old theory was wrong. “The cyclists may have felt completely
exhausted,” he says, “but their bodies actually had considerable reserves that they could theoretically tap by using a
greater amount of the resting fibres.” This, he believes, is the proof that the brain is regulating the pace of the
workout to hold the cyclists well back from the point of extreme tiredness.
38. Which of the following is supported by “the Limitations Theory”?
A. Tiredness is caused by signals from brain.
B. Athletes feel tired when they use up all their energy.
C. The body uses 100% of the muscle fibres in exercise.D. Athletes become tired though lactic acid levels remain low.
39. Noakes has found out that ___________.
A. muscle fibres control athletes’ movements
B. Lactic acid levels remain high in cycling test
C. mental processes control the symptoms of tiredness
D. different exercises use different amount of muscle fibres
40. It is likely that both theories accept that ___________.
A. lactic acid is produced in muscles during exercise
B. the oxygen content in blood may rise after sports
C. tiredness is a harmful by-product of exercise
D. the energy in human bodies can be balanced
41. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. The description of a new test.
B. The explanation of the theory.
C. The puzzling evidence of a study.
D. The whole process of the research.
D
Time talks. It speaks more plainly than words. Time communicates in many ways.
Consider the different parts of the day, for example. The time of the day when something is done can give a special
meaning to the event. It is not customary to telephone someone every early in the morning. If you telephone him
early in the day, the time of the call shows that the matter is very important and requires immediate attention. If
someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he assumes it is a matter of life or death. The time chosen for the
call communicates its importance.In social life, time plays a very important part. In the United States, guests tend to feel they are not highly regarded
if the invitation to a dinner party is extended only three or four days before the party date. But this is not true in all
countries. In other areas of the world, it may be considered foolish to make an appointment too far in advance
because plans which are made for a date more than a week away tend to be forgotten.
The meaning of time differs in different parts of the world. Thus, misunderstandings often arise between people
from cultures that treat time differently. Promptness(准时) is valued highly in American life, for example. If people
are not prompt, they may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible. In the U.S., no one would think of
keeping a business partner waiting for an hour; it would be too impolite. A person who is five minutes late is
expected to make a short apology.
This way of treating time is quite different from that of several other cultures. This helps to explain the unfortunate
experience of a certain agriculturist from the United States, assigned to duty in another country. After a long delay,
the agriculturist was finally agreed an appointment with the Minister of Agriculture. Arriving a little before the
appointed hour, the agriculturist waited. The hour came and passed. At this point he suggested to the secretary that
perhaps the minister did not know he was waiting in the outer office. This gave him the feeling of having done
something to solve the problem, but he had not. Twenty minutes passed, then thirty, then forty-five. To an
American, that is the beginning of the “insult period”. No matter what is said in apology, there is little that can
remove the damage done by an hour’s wait in an outer office. Yet in the country where this story took place, a
forty-five-minute waiting period was not unusual.
In the West, particularly in the United States, people tend to think of time as something fixed in nature. As a rule,
Americans think of time as a road stretching into the future, along which one progresses. The road has many
sections, which are to be kept separate— “one thing at a time”. People who cannot plan events are not highly
regarded. Thus, an American may feel angry when he has made an appointment with someone and then finds a lot
of other things happening at the same time.
Since time has such different meanings in different cultures, communication is often difficult. We will understand
each other a little better if we can keep this fact in mind.
42. According to the passage, an announcement broadcast during class must be very important because ________.
A. it is a customary time to make. B. it makes everyone surprised.C. it requires immediate attention. D. it speaks more plainly than words.
43 The author mentions an agriculturist’s experience in order to show ________.
A. the value of promptness for Americans.
B. the cultural differences in treating time.
C. the bad manners of the Minister of Agriculture.
D. the importance of time in different parts of the day.
44. The underlined word “insult” in Paragraph5 probably means ________.
A. boring. B. patient.
C. shameful. D. hopeless.
45. We can learn from the passage that people will understand better if ________.
A. they are concerned with the value of time.
B. they know how to communicate with each other.
C. they escape dealing with many things at one appointed time.
D. they keep in mind that different cultures treat time differently.

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, 并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中
有两项为多余选项。
We’ve all heard that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and that may actually be true. A study of more
than 50,000 adults aged 30 and older found that breakfast eaters were more likely to lose weight than those who
didn’t eat a morning meal. To have a satisfying and nutritious breakfast, these tips will help you really rise and
shine:
Eat even if you’re not hungry.
Although you might not feel like eating first thing in the morning, it’s a good idea to get something into your system. Eating within 90 minutes of waking up will jump- start your body and keep you from getting hungry later.
___46___
Go boring.
Varying what you eat is a good idea in theory. ___47___A 2014 British study found that people who allowed their
breakfast calories to rise and fall (as measured by a five-day diet diary) had larger waists than folks who kept their
morning calorie intake constant, no matter how much they ate the rest of the day.
Go big.
There’s an old saying that advises “Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dinner like a beggar.” It’s
worth following. According to a study of 93 overweight women, those who ate a balanced 700-calorie breakfast
over a 12-week period lowered their blood sugar and blood pressure two times more than people who ate a 200-
calorie meal. ___48___
Always pick a protein.
A review of recent studies in the health journal Advances in Nutrition found the function of protein.
___49___Shapiro recommends eggs, nut butter, or cheese (which is generally a little lower in sugar than yogurt) to
give your breakfast a protein boost.
Embrace fat.
Actually, fat isn’t the main enemy to weight loss success—sugar is. Fat is digested slowly by the body and helps
decrease the rate at which we digest and break down carbohydrates (碳水化合物). ___50___So you need some fat
(at least 1 to 2 percent) to help your body absorb those nutrients more efficiently.
A. It can also dissolve and break down vitamins A and D.
B. Just a banana will do the trick.
C. A variety of foods are mouth-watering and full of nutrition.
D. The breakfast needs to be high in protein.
E. But you’d better stick with the same old menu for your weight.F. They also lost an average of 19.2 pounds.
G. High level of it in breakfast can reduce hunger later in the day.

34. D 细节理解题。根据文章第三自然段前两句话“When Richard had tried to jump off the cable car, his
backpack had been …swinging four feet above the snow”可知,背包带缠住了Richard的脖子把他悬在半空,也

Wilson, his other friends and the workers at the Arapahoe Basin Ski Area.(那天晚上,Richard从医院打电话表
达对Wilson,其他朋友和Arapahoe Basin Ski Area的工作人员感谢)可知,Wilson,other friends 和workers
at the Arapahoe Basin Ski Area都对他施以援手,是他们的共同努力救了他。故选A项。
36. A 推理判断题。When he reached Richard’s chair, Wilson swung a leg over the cable and attempted to drop
down onto it. But as he did that, his jacket caught on the movable footrest, which was in the up position. The
footrest began to slide down, with Wilson attached. But before that could happen, he managed to free himself and
reached Richard.(当威尔逊触到理查德的椅子时,他把一条腿甩过缆绳,试图跳到上面。但是当他那样做
的时候,他的夹克被活动脚踏板给挂住了。脚踏板在上面,然后挂着威尔逊开始向下滑。但他及时让自己

会受伤,所以这段描写主要突出救人的危险。故选A项。

【答案】38. B 39. C 40. A 41. C
文章大意:这是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了关于运动的极限理论。该理论认为人们之所以感到疲惫是因
为肌肉达到了极限,而疲劳是由大脑控制的。
38. B 细节理解题。根据文章第一段的In other words, muscles tire because they hit a physical limit: they either
run out of fuel or oxygen or they drown in harmful by-products(副产品)可知极限理论认为人们会感到疲倦时因
为到达了肌肉的极限。B. Athletes feel tired when they use up all their energy.(运动员感到疲惫是因为他们用
完了自己的能量)符合以上说法,故选B项。39. C 细节理解题。根据文章第二段的Tiredness, he argues, is caused not by signals springing from overtaxed
muscles, but is an emotional response which begins in the brain.可知Timothy Noakes认为是人的大脑控制了肌肉
是否感到疲倦。C. mental processes control the symptoms of tiredness(精神过程控制疲倦的症状)符合以上
说法,故选C项。
40. A 推理判断题。根据文章第二段的The fundamental nature of his new theory is that the brain paces the

41. C 主旨大意题。根据本段的Lactic acid is a by-product of exercise, and the increase of it is often mentioned as
a cause of tiredness. But when research subjects exercise in certain conditions created artificially, they become tired
even though lactic acid levels remain low.可知lactic acid paradox理论认为人们在运动的时候lactic的升高会使
人疲倦,但令人费解的是当lactic还很低的时候人们也会感到疲劳。C. The puzzling evidence of a study.(一
个研究令人费解的证据)可以作为本段主旨,故选C项。
D
【答案】42. C 43. B 44. C 45. D
文章大意:这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了时间的重要性以及时间在不同文化中的不同意义。
42. C 推理判断题。由第二段“If you telephone him early in the day, the time of the call shows that the matter is
very important and requires immediate attention. The time chosen for the call communicates its importance ”可知,
如果你在一天的早些时候给他打电话,打电话的时间表明这件事很重要,需要立即处理。通话时间的选择
体现了通话的重要性。所以判断出,根据这篇文章,在课堂上的一则课堂广播一定是非常重要的,因为事
情需要立即处理。故选C项。
43. B 推理判断题。由第五段“This way of treating time is quite different from that of several other cultures”可知,
这种对待时间的方式不同于其他几种文化。所以这是本段的主题句,所以段落中所举的例子都是为了支持
本段的主题句。故判断出作者提到一位农学家的经历,是为了展示对待时间的文化差异。故选B项。
44. C 词义猜测题。由第五段“This gave him the feeling of having done something to solve the problem, but he had not. Twenty minutes passed, then thirty, then forty-five. To an American, that is the beginning of the “insult
period”. No matter what is said in apology, there is little that can remove the damage done by an hour’s wait in an
outer office”可知,这给了他一种已经解决了问题的感觉,但他没有。二十分钟过去了,然后是三十分钟,
然后是四十五分钟。对美国人来说,这是“侮辱期”的开始。不管道歉的内容是什么,在外面的办公室里等
一个小时所造成的损害是无法消除的。所以通过上下文可以判断出,段落5中划线的“insult”一词可能是指
shameful“丢脸的”。故选C项。
45. D 细节理解题。由最后段“Since time has such different meanings in different cultures, communication is
often difficult. We will understand each other a little better if we can keep this fact in mind”可知,由于时间的意
义根据文化的不同而不同,交流就常常会有障碍。如果我们认识到这一事实,那么我们就可能更好的理解
对方。所以我们可以从这段短文中学习到,如果人们记住不同文化对时间需要不同地对待,他们会更好地
理解对方。故选D项。

第二节 (20分)
one possible version:
Recently a large-scale exhibition was held in the National Museum of China to celebrate the 40th Anniversary of
Reform and Opening-up. My classmates and I were extremely honored to have the opportunity to serve as
volunteers.
Last Sunday, we arrived at the National Museum early in the morning. In order to learn how to provide better
service, we were trained by a staff member for the volunteer work. We all listened attentively and eagerly, taking
notes from time to time.
After the training, wearing the volunteer uniform and volunteer card, we got down to our work with great
enthusiasm. Some of us worked at the Volunteer Service Counter and offered service to people who turned to us for help. We provided them with useful guidance and information for the exhibition. Inside the exhibition hall, some of
us volunteer docents stood in front of a group of visitors, giving vivid introduction of the great achievements over
the past 40 years, which attracted the visitors so much and brought us a great sense of achievement.
Time passed quickly before we knew it. Waving us goodbye, the museum staff thanked us and gave us a thumbs-up
for our working the whole day. Their praise and thanks greatly encouraged us. Meanwhile, we all felt a sense of
pride for our country’s great achievements.
