A
We’ve all been there: we go to the gym for a few days, and then we give in because it’s too
tiring. Even though you have great determination in the beginning, you find it difficult to make daily
exercise a habit. So, how can you do it?
A. Plan the time
Take your day and break it into hours on a piece of paper. It’s suggested by many experts that
you exercise in the morning. Not only do you burn more calories at that time, but it will make you
energetic.
B. Choose your exercise
What do you like to do? Whether it’s swimming, running, cycling, or something else, find
something you enjoy. If doing the same thing every day makes you bored, do something different.
Change and make it fun!
C. Set your goal
What do you want to get out of this? Whatever it is, write it down. Put a note by your bed with
that goal written on it to motivate you to get up in the morning and actually get out the door.
D. Stick to your plan
Once you decide that you’re going to do something, stick to it. Don’t think that it will be easy.
If you can make it through the first few weeks then you’re fast on your way to making exercise a
habit.
What exactly does building a habit do for you? Most importantly, it makes exercise a priority
(优先的事物) in your life. People who have a habit of exercising won’t feel right if they don’t get in
their daily exercise time.
1. Why do experts suggest doing sports in the morning?
A. Because the air is fresher at that time.
B. Because it can help to keep us warm.
C. Because it makes us burn more calories and energetic.
D. Because it is the only free time we have during the day.
2. The author thinks it difficult for us to______ .
A. form a good living habit
B. make daily exercise a habit
C. find proper sports
D. make the determination to exercise
3. If we feel tired of the same sport,we can_______ .
A. do it the other day
B. stop it for a certain period of time
C. set up another goal of exercising
D. change it for some other sports
【答案】1. C 2. B 3. D
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。文章主要向我们介绍了怎样把锻炼变成一种坚持下来的习惯。
【1 题详解】
细节理解题。根据 A.Plan the time 部分中“It’s suggested by many experts that you exercise in the
morning. Not only do you burn more calories at that time,but it will make you energetic.(很多专家
建议你早上锻炼。那个时候你不仅能消耗更多的卡路里,还能更加精力充沛) ”可知,早上锻
炼能让我们消耗更多卡路里,让我们更精力充沛,所以专家才建议早上锻炼,故选 C。
【2 题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Even though you have great determination in the beginning,you find
it difficult to make daily exercise a habit. (即使你一开始就有很大的决心,但你发现很难养成每
天锻炼的习惯)”可知,作者认为我们很难养成每天锻炼的习惯。故选 B。
【3 题详解】
细节理解题。根据 B.Choose your exercise 部分中“If doing the same thing every day makes you
bored,do something different. Change and make it fun!(如果每天做同样的事情让你感到无聊,
那就做些不同的事情。改变,让它变得有趣!)”可知,如果我们厌烦了同样的运动,我们可
以改变,去做一些其他的运动。故选 D。
B
Everyone knows you must exercise regularly to keep good health. Indeed, staying physically fit
is a big part of our culture. We consider (or rightly so) that healthy people are attractive people.
Since most of us want to be attractive, there is no shortage of exercise clubs, training videos,
magazines and books offering to help us stay physically fit.
Unfortunately, however, our culture doesn’t place the same emphasis on mental fitness.
Although we tend to like men and women with strong, healthy-looking bodies, we don’t have the
same degree of respect or attraction for smart, educated, mentally healthy people. This is a pity,
because there are great rewards for people who have developed the ability to think well.
If your mind is well trained and flexible, you will be able to understand a great deal of what
happens around you. And if you are also well educated-that is, if you understand basic science,
mathematics, music, art, literature, history and so on—you will find it much easier to make good
decisions throughout your life. Over the long run, this leads to a sense of control over your destiny
(命运) and a much better life than otherwise (in another way).
People who are poorly educated or who don’t think well—that is, people who are not mentally
fit—see things differently. Their world is controlled by mysterious, often malevolent (恶意的) forces.
Such people live within a system they will never master, forced to follow rules they will never
understand. Although it may not be obvious, most spend their lives being manipulated (控制) by
others. They are told what to do, what to think, how to spend their money, and what they should and
should not aspire (渴望) to in life.
In my opinion, if you want to live well, you must be able to use your mind well. For this reason,
I want you to be able to concentrate, to solve problems, to understand complex ideas, and to think
clearly and quickly. Such skills will make it easier for you to make informed decisions, understand
current events, choose good friends, manage your money well, make wise long-term decisions and
appreciate music, art and literature.
The key to developing such skills is to enjoy learning, and to have the ability and motivation to
teach yourself.
4. The writer of the passage feels disappointed that ______.
A. too little has been done to help people to keep physically fit
B. too much has been done to help people to keep physically fit
C. physically healthy people are not as popular as mentally healthy people
D. mentally healthy people are not as popular as physically healthy people
5. The underlined word “this” in the third paragraph means “ ______”.
A. the understanding of a great deal of what goes on around you
B. the understanding of basic science and mathematics
C. being able to make good decisions in life
D. good training in body and mind
6. The writer of this passage thinks those who are not mentally fit______.
A live a poor and mysterious life B. enjoy being fooled and ruled
C. often do what others do D. can’t control over their life
7. The best title of the passage will most probably be “ ______”.
A. Train Your Body B. Think Hard and Work Hard
C. Make Informed Decisions D. Train Your Mind
【答案】4. D 5. C 6. D 7. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇议论文。文章讲述了人们不仅要训练身体,还要训练大脑和思维。
【4 题详解】
细节理解题。由第二段“Unfortunately, however, our culture doesn’t place the same emphasis on
mental fitness. Although we tend to like men and women with strong, healthy-looking bodies, we
don’t have the same degree of respect or attraction for smart, educated, mentally healthy people.
This is a pity, because there are great rewards for people who have developed the ability to think
well.”(然而,不幸的是,我们的文化并没有把同样的重点放在精神健康上。尽管如此我们倾
向于喜欢身体强壮、看起来健康的男人和女人,我们对聪明、受过教育、心理健康的人没有
同等程度的尊重或吸引力。这是一个遗憾,因为对那些有良好思考能力的人来说,有很大的
回报),可知我们的文化并没有把同样的重点放在精神健康上,社会并不注重精神健康,与身
体健康相比,聪明、受过教育、心理健康的人得不到同等程度的尊重或吸引,即精神健康的
人不如身体健康的人受欢迎,作者认为这是一个遗憾。故选 D 项。
【5 题详解】
词句猜测题。由第三段中的“And if you are also well educated—that is, if you understand basic
science, mathematics, music, art, literature, history and so on—you will find it much easier to make
good decisions throughout your life. Over the long run, this leads to a sense of control over your
destiny (命运) and a much better life than otherwise (in another way).”(如果你也受过良好的教
育,也就是说,如果你了解基础科学、数学、音乐、艺术、文学、历史等等,你会发现在你
的一生中做出好的决定要容易得多。从长远来看,“这”会让你对自己的命运有一种掌控感
(从另一个角度来说),且生活会比其他方式好得多),可知 this 指代上文的“ make good
decisions throughout your life”(在你的一生中做出正确的决定),是这种正确的决定让人们对
生活有掌控感,且帮助人们拥有更好的生活。故选 C 项。
【6 题详解】
推理判断题。由第四段中的“Such people live within a system they will never master, forced to
follow rules they will never understand. Although it may not be obvious, most spend their lives
being manipulated (控制) by others. They are told what to do, what to think, how to spend their
money, and what they should and should not aspire (渴望) to in life.”(这些人生活在一个他们永
远无法掌握的系统中,被迫遵循他们永远无法理解的规则。尽管这并不明显,但大多数人的
一生都在被他人操纵。他们被告知该做什么,该想什么,如何花钱,以及他们在生活中应该
和不应该追求什么),可知精神不健全的人生活在一个他们永远无法掌握的系统中,大多数人
的一生都在被他人操纵,被别人告知自己该做些什么,可得出他们无法控制自己的生活,所
以作者认为精神不健全的人是无法控制自己生活的人。故选 D 项。
【7 题详解】
主旨大意题。第一段讲“人们重视身体健康”,第二段讲“人们忽视精神健康的重要性,作
者感到失望”,第三段讲“训练大脑和思维的好处”,第四段讲“精神不健全的人会遭遇的
事”,最后两段讲“敦促读者去善用大脑、训练思维”,可知文章主要讲人们不仅要训练身
体,还要训练大脑和思维,D 项“训练你的思维”符合文意,最适合作文章标题。故选 D 项。
C
Robotic surgery is one thing, but sending a robot inside the body to carry out an operation is
quite another, which has long been a goal of some researchers to produce tiny robotic devices being
capable of traveling through the body to deliver drugs or to make repairs without the need for a
single cut, the possibility of which has just got a bit closer.
However, unlike the plot of one film—which featured a microscopic crew and submarine
traveling through a scientist's bloodstream—this device could not be put into blood vessels because
it is too big. While other types of miniature swallow able robots have been developed in the past,
their role has mostly been limited to capturing images inside the body. In a presentation this week to
the International Conference, Daniela Rus and Shuhei Miyashita of the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology described a robot they have developed that can be swallowed and used to collect
dangerous objects accidentally taken in.
To test their latest version, Dr. Rus and Dr. Miyashita designed a robot as a battery hunter,
which might seem to be an odd task, but more than 3,500 people in America alone, most of them
children, swallow the tiny button cells used in small electronic devices by accident every year. To
start with, the researchers created an artificial esophagus (食道) and stomach made out of silicone. It
was closely modeled on that found in a pig and filled with medical liquid; the robot itself is made
from several layers of different materials, including pig intestine (肠),and contains a little magnet.
This is folded up and wrapped in a 10mmx27mm capsule of ice. Once this reaches the stomach, the
ice melts and the robot unfolds which is moved and guided with the 1se of a magnetic field outside
the body. In their tests, the robot was able to touch a button battery and draw it with its own magnet,
and during dragging it along, the robot could then be directed towards the intestines where it would
eventually be gotten rid of through the anus (肛门). After it, the researchers sent in another robot
loaded with medication to deliver it to the site of the battery bum to speed up healing.
The artificial stomach being transparent (透明的) on one side, the researchers can see the
batteries and visually control the robots. If not, that will require help with the help from imaging
system, which will be a bit more of a challenge, but Dr. Rus and Dr. Miyashita are determined to
succeed.
8. According to the passage, the robot operation will probably be able to ________.
A. travel through a scientist's bloodstream B. photograph the body to convey to the
doctor
C. enter the body to deliver drugs or make repairs D. operate on a person outside the body
completely
9. We learn from Paragraph 3 that ________.
A. the researchers did the experiment on a chosen animal
B. the robot took necessary drugs besides a little magnet
C. digesting the swallowed batteries is difficult for children
D. the actual size of the robot may be larger than the capsule of ice
10. What may the experiment mean to the medical world?
A. The surgeries will cost patients. much money. B. Patients will suffer less for some
surgeries.
C. Fewer children will swallow the button cells. D. A robot will be invented traveling
blood vessels.
11. Which can be the most suitable title for the passage?
A. An Experiment on Robot B. Tiny Robot, Significant Role
C. The Fantastic Robotic Voyage D. The Exploration of Robot Technology
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. B 11. C
【解析】
【分析】
本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述研究人员都在尝试创造一种微型机器设备,能够游走于人
体内,在不切割身体表面的情况下传送药物或修补伤口,现在这种可能性更为接近现实。麻
省理工学院的丹妮拉.鲁斯和宫下修平研制的机器人可以被吞咽,并可收集人们不慎摄入的有
害异物。
【8 题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Robotic surgery is one thing, but sending a robot inside the body to carry
out an operation is quite another, which has long been a goal of some researchers to produce tiny
robotic devices being capable of traveling through the body to deliver drugs or to make repairs
without the need for a single cut, the possibility of which has just got a bit closer.” (机器人手术是
一回事,但送机器人在体内进行手术是另一回事,这一直是一些研究人员的一个目标,即生
产微型机器人设备,能将机器人植入体内传送药物或修补伤口,而不需要一次切割,其可能
性刚刚接近一点。)由此可知机器人手术是将机器人植入体内传送药物或修补伤口,故选 C。
【9 题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“This is folded up and wrapped in a 10mmx27mm capsule of ice. Once
this reaches the stomach, the ice melts and the robot unfolds which is moved and guided with the 1se
of a magnetic field outside the body.” (这是折叠和包裹在一个 10 毫米 x27 毫米的冰胶囊。一
旦冰到达胃部,冰就会融化,机器人就会展开,在体外磁场的引导下移动。)由此可知,机器
人的尺寸要比冰胶囊大,故选 D。
【10 题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“which has long been a goal of some researchers to produce tiny robotic
devices being capable of traveling through the body to deliver drugs or to make repairs without the
need for a single cut” (这一直是一些研究人员的一个目标,即生产微型机器人设备,能将机
器人植入体内传送药物或修补伤口,)和第三段“In their tests, the robot was able to touch a button
battery and draw it with its own magnet, and during dragging it along, the robot could then be
directed towards the intestines where it would eventually be gotten rid of through the anus (肛门).
After it, the researchers sent in another robot loaded with medication to deliver it to the site of the
battery bum to speed up healing.” (在他们的测试中,机器人能够触摸纽扣电池,并用自己的磁
铁吸引它,在拖动它的过程中,机器人可以被引导到肠道,最终从肛门排出。在此之后,研
究人员派出了另一个装满药物的机器人,将其运送到电池烧伤的部位,以加快愈合速度。)显
然,这种实验对于医学界的意义在于病人将少遭受痛苦,故选 B。
【11 题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“In a presentation this week to the International Conference, Daniela Rus
and Shuhei Miyashita of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology described a robot they have
developed that can be swallowed and used to collect dangerous objects accidentally taken in.” (在
本周的国际会议上,麻省理工学院的丹妮拉.鲁斯和宫下修平描述了他们开发的一种机器人,
它们可以被吞咽,并可收集人们不慎摄入的有害异物。)由此可知这对于被送入体内捕获异物
的微型机器人来说无异于是一次在人体内的神奇之旅。故选 C。
【点睛】标题猜测题。主旨大意题的一种,标题应位于文章之首,概括文章内容,点明文章
主题。它可以是单词,短语,或句子。确定文章标题,第一,标题要与主题密切相关;其次,
看标题是否能概括全文内容,不能只概括短文中的某些事实或细节;第三,标题范围不应太
大或太小;最后,标题应新颖,概括性强并且精炼。小题 4 中 C 选项概括文中主旨大意,与

D
Having a great collection of books at home doesn’t really mean that you are a person who has a
passion for literature and reading. It can be a family inheritance(继承) or it can be just to impress
people around you about the fact that you are a person of culture. On the other hand, there are many
persons who cannot afford to buy books, because some of them are quite expensive, but they usually
go to libraries and spend hours reading something that interests them a lot, or just borrow books to
read at home.
From my point of view, literature is very important in our lives from several points of view. For
example, reading is a means of gaining culture and enriching our knowledge in different areas of
activities. It can help us have a great imagination and it makes things easier when it comes to making
compositions on different themes. It gives you the possibility to speak about science, even if you
don’t work in this field, or you can express your opinion about a political aspect, just because you
have read something connected to that.
Secondly, literature offers us the possibility to enter the world of imagination, and to leave apart the
real one for a couple of hours. We come to meet kings and queens many years ago, dream in the
world of the rich or imagine how life will be in the future. Sometimes, we identify ourselves with the
characters in the stories we read and they can give us some clues to solve our problems and how to
react in certain circumstances.
To conclude, I would like to say that literature is the perfect means to enrich our culture, to express
correctly and have a rich vocabulary, to be able to interfere(干涉) in conversations in different
fields of interest and to really be considered an erudite person.
12. The people who are fond of literature are those that _________.
A. go to libraries on weekends
B. buy expensive books in the bookstore
C. keep many books in their studies
D. have much interest in reading
13. We can learn from the third paragraph that _________.
A. we can bring kings and queens back to life
B. what we read can be useful in our daily life
C. it is very good for us to stay alone for some hours
D. we can make friends with the people in the stories
14. The underlined word “erudite” in the last paragraph probably means_________.
A hard-working B. enthusiastic
C. learned D. creative
15. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?
A. To advise readers to like reading.
B. To explain the true meaning of reading.
C. To tell readers how to read a book.
D. To tell readers who has the real passion for literature.
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【分析】本文是说明文。文章主要讲述读书不仅仅只是让人以为你是个对阅读和文学很热爱
的人,而且对你自身的文明修养大有裨益。所以我们应该与书交友。多多读书。
【12 题详解】

【36 题详解】
考查固定短语。depend on/upon“取决于”为固定短语。故填 on / upon。

为一般现在时。故填 are given。

working。
【44 题详解】
考查副词。副词 easily 修饰动词 catches。故填 easily。
【45 题详解】
考查从属连词。分析句意“如果/当你想吃得少,建议用蓝色的盘子吃饭。”所以本句为 if / when
引导色是条件/时间状语从句。故填 if / when。

第二节 读后续写(满分 25 分)
47. 读后续写
The story between Mr. Jordan and me was the most amazing story I wanted to share. Mr. Jordan
was one of the teachers who I would never forget.
When I was young at school, I loved talking, a characteristic not always appreciated by Mr.
Jordan, my 10-grade English teacher.
Mr. Jordan was a teacher whom no one liked because he was too strict. He stood about
5-foot-five, was very thin and wore his hair pulled back in a way that gave him a horsy look. He
wore those half-circular reading glasses. Whenever he got upset, he would lower his head and look
at you over the top of his glasses.
One day in his class I was busy talking. I didn’t realize he had stopped teaching and staring
straight at me. “Sam, I would like to see you after school.”
Later Mr. Jordan explained in a low, but very firm voice that showed he expected me to listen
when he was talking. For punishment he told me to write a thousand-word essay on education and its
effect on the society. He wanted it in by the following Wednesday.
Well, I met my deadline. I was confident. It was a good paper. And I expected a sign of
approval from him. The next day in class, however, he was looking at me over his glasses. He called
me forward and returned my paper. “Go back and rewrite,” he said. “Remember, each paragraph is
supported to begin with a topic sentence.” When he gave my paper back a second time, he corrected
the grammar. The third time, the spelling. The fourth time, it was punctuation. The fifth, it wasn’t
neat enough. I was sick!
The sixth time, I rewrote the whole paper slowly in ink, leaving generous space. When he saw it,
he removed his glasses and smiled. He firmly accepted the paper. After that, I put the whole thing
out of my mind.
注意:续写词数应为 150 左右。
Paragraph 1:
One day after two weeks, Mr. Jordan came into the class and said,
________________________________________________________________________________
_________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
I was amazed, thrilled and grateful.
________________________________________________________________________________
_________________________________________________________________
【答案】One day after two weeks, Mr. Jordan came into the class and said,“Class, do you still
remember the essay contest held in our school?They’ve announced the winners. I am so glad to
inform you that Sam has won the first prize in the essay contest with the title ‘Education and Its
Effect on the Society’.” Then thunderous applause rocked the classroom. After class, many
classmates asked me how I made it. Without excellent writing skills, I well remembered that I told
them it was all about six-times rewriting urged by Mr. Jordan.
I was amazed, thrilled and grateful. It was the first time I had ever won a prize. Years later, I
told many people that story, and my comments, including my unfriendly description of Mr. Jordan’s
appearance. Unexpectedly, Mr. Jordan wrote to me, and said that his look wasn’t important. What
was important was the lesson I had learnt. When I wrote and rewrote that paper for him, I began to
learn how to discipline myself. I was grateful for the lesson he had taught me.
