六、完形填空。(10×1 分=10 分)
Are you a man or a mouse? When people ask this question, they want to know whether
you think you are a __36__ person or a coward(懦夫). But you will never really know
the answer to this question __37__ you are tested in real life. Some people think
they are brave but when they come face to face with real __38__, they act like
cowards. Others think of themselves as cowards, but when they meet danger, they act
like heroes.
Lenny had always thought of himself as a __39__ person. He got worried before
examinations. He worried about his job and health. All he wanted in life was to be
safe and healthy. Then, on January 15th, 2002, a plane crashed into the Potomac River
in Washington. Lenny went to the river to see what was happening. He saw a woman in
the __40__ water. Lenny did not feel afraid. He kept very calm and did a very dangerous
thing. He jumped into the Potomac River, __41__ to the woman, and kept her head above
the water. Seventyeight people died that day. Thanks to Lenny, it was not
seventynine.
When you are in a very __42__ situation and feel afraid, the body automatically
produces a chemical in the blood. The chemical is called adrenalin(肾上腺素). __43__
adrenalin in the blood system, you actually feel stronger and stronger and are ready
to fight or run away. However, when you are absolutely terrified(恐慌), the body can 4
produce too much adrenalin. When this __44__, the muscles become very hard and you
find you can't move at all. You are then paralyzed(无能为力的) with fear. This is
why when we are very frightened, we sometimes say we're “petrified”. This word comes
from the Greek word “petros”, which means “stone”. We are __45__ frightened that
we become stonelike.
(A)36.A.brave B.real C.hard D.certain

How can you remember a song from your childhood to this day?Why do your teachers
use songs to teach you English?It seems there is a scientific reason for this.
Researchers are now studying the relationship between music and remembering a
foreign language.They find that remembering words in a song is the best way to remember
even the most difficult language.
“The brain likes to remember things when they are used in a catchy and meaningful
way,” said Dr.Karen Ludke.The findings may help those who have difficulties learning
foreign languages.On his blog,Dr. Ludke writes,“A listenandrepeat singing method
can support foreign language learning,and opens the door for future research in this
area.”
Many teachers know the value of using music and singing.Hua Zhuying,a teacher
at a Chinese language school in Washington,D.C. depends heavily on songs in teaching
Chinese.She says,“I use music all the time to teach children Chinese.For little
kids,usually we use the music.Not only does it work,but it is fun for kids.”She
adds,“Sometimes,I think if I were taught English that way,maybe I could speak much
better English than now.”
Our brain likes music.So,if you're still struggling in learning a language,
why not try singing it out?
(D)51.According to the passage,the best way to remember a foreign language is
to ________.
A.read and write more B.listen to the teacher carefully
C.copy the words many times D.remember words in a song
(B)52.The underlined word “catchy” probably means “________”.

C(四川绵阳)
Chinese buyers used to prize foreign brands,thinking that products made by
American or European companies are of higher quality( 质 量 ) than Chinese
ones.Increasingly,that's no longer the case.
Chinese people born before 1985 generally think that foreign brands are better
than Chinese ones,billionaire William Li told Business Insider during a recent
interview on CCTV 9.But for those who were born after 1985,it is a different
picture.
“When I first went to the United Kingdom in 1997,I thought that the difference
between China and Europe was quite big,” Li said.“But for those born in the
1990s , when they visit Europe or the US , they do not think there is a big
difference.”
The change in thinking among Chinese buyers is showing up in many markets in China
where Western companies used to control.A study by Credit Suisse published in March
found that young Chinese buyers are increasingly showing a “home_brand_bias”.
Morethan90%ofyoungChinesebuyerswouldprefertobuyhomeappliancebrands,according
to the study.Meanwhile,home companies producing food,drinks,or personal care
products increased their share of the market by 3.3% over the last ten years to nearly
70%.
“Chinese buyers,especially the younger ones,don't just believe that foreign
brands are better.Right now , Chinese buyers think China is good and ‘ Made in
China’ is not bad at all,”Charlie Chen,head of China buyer research at Credit
Suisse,told South China Morning Post in March.
The Chinese smartphone market is controlled by home companies—Huawei,Oppo,
Vivo,and Xiaomi.Apple is the only foreign brand in the top five,but it has lost
large ground to the home brands in recent years.Its market share is believed to down
to 37% from a 2015 high of 54%.
(B)56.What is this passage mainly about?
A.The quality of “Made in China”.
B.The change in Chinese buyers' thinking.
C.Chinese products in the eye of foreigner.
D.Difference between older and younger Chinese buyers.
(C)57.Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?7
A.More and more foreigners go to buy Chinese products.
B.Foreign products are more expensive than Chinese ones.
C.More and more Chinese buyers prefer Chinese products.
D.Older Chinese people don't like foreign products any more.
(B)58.Which fact best explains “home_brand_bias”?
A.Apple had a market share of 54% in 2015.
B.More than 90% of young Chinese buyers prefer home brands.
C.Chinese people born before 1985 think that foreign brands are better.
D.William Li found a big difference between China and Europe in 1997.
(A)59.Who did most of the research for this report?
A.Credit Suisse. B.CCTV 9.
C.South China Morning Post. D.Business Insider.
(A)60.What's the best title for this passage?

C.“Made in China” is welcomed all over the world
D.Apple has lost large ground to Huawei in China

days.Many of us run for our health.
The best time to exercise is early in the morning.

If afternoon or evening period suits you, and you enjoy the feeling of getting
healthier, you can choose any time to exercise. There is no fixed time for you to
exercise.
Doctors say many of the health problems come from bad habits such as eating too
much, drinking too much, smoking, staying up late and not having enough exercise.
Doctors tell us, “Eat less,don't smoke, have enough sleep and exercise more.”

Nearly every American kid watches TV for 2 hours and 56 minutes every day—that
adds up to 44 days a year of sitting. More TV watching (or more Internet surfing,
or more computer games) means more fat.
Running is a good exercise because it helps build a strong body.It also helps
many people lose weight.One 25yearold woman teacher runs for half an hour in the
morning five times a week.She runs to lose weight. “I feel comfortable and I'm not
fat anymore,” she says.
Running is good for health in other ways, too. (B)许多跑步者说跑步使他们健康。
“Running is my doctor,” says a man.
Running can also help people to relax. “After school, I like to run for ten
