一、阅读选择
It’s 5:00 in the morning when the alarm rings in my ears. I roll out of bed and walk blindly through the dark into the bathroom. I turn on the light and put on my glasses. The house is still as I walk downstairs while my husband and three kids sleep peacefully. Usually I go for a long run, but today I choose my favorite exercise DVD．Insanity. Sweat pours down my face and into my eyes. My heart races as I face my body to finish each movement. As I near the end of the exercise, I feel extremely tired, but a smile is on my face. It’s not a smile because the DVD is over, but a smile of success from pushing my body to its extreme limit.
Some people enjoy shopping, smoking , food, work, or even chocolate. But I need exercise to get through each day. Some shake heads when they see me run through the town. Others get hurt when I refuse to try just one bite of their grandmother’s chocolate cake. They raise their eyebrows, surprised by my “no thank you,” or by my choice to have a salad. Over the years , I have learned it’s okay to just say “no.” I shouldn’t feel sorry for refusing food that I don’t want to eat.
So what drives me to roll out of bed at 5:00 a.m.? What gives me the reason to just say no to ice cream? Commitment. A commitment to change my life with a way that reduces daily anxiety, increases self–confidence and energy, extends life and above all improves my body shape. This is the point where a smile appears on my face as I look at myself in the mirror or try on my favorite pair of jeans that now fit just right. It’s through commitment and sweat that I can make a difference within myself inside and out.
1．Why is there a smile on the author’s face in the morning?
A．Because she sees her family sleeping peacefully.
B．Because she finishes her favorite exercise.
C．Because she enjoys the interesting DVD．
D．Because she feels a sense of achievement.
2．What does the underlined word “commitment” in the last paragraph mean?
A．Good health. B．Firm belief.
C．A strong power. D．A regular habit.
3．What can we learn about the author from the text?
A．She acts in a strange way.
B．She wants to look different from others.
C．She aims to develop a good body shape.
D．She has difficulty getting along with others.
Exploit your parking space An unused parking space or garage can make money. If you live near a city center or an airport, you could make anything up to £200 or £300 a week. Put an advertisement for free on Letpark or Atmyhousepark.
Rent a room
Spare room? Not only will a lodger（房客）earn you an income, but also, thanks to the government-backed “rent a room” program, you won’t have to pay any tax on the first £4500 you make per year. Try advertising your room on Roomspare or Roommateeasy.
Make money during special events Don’t want a full-time lodger? Then rent on a
short-term basis. If you live in the capital, renting a room out during the Olympics or other big events could bring in money. Grashpadder can advertise your space.
Live on set
Renting your home out as a “film set” could earn you hundreds of pounds a day, depending on the film production company and how long your home is needed. A quick search on the Internet will bring up dozens of online companies that allow you to register your home for free—but you will be charged if your home gets picked.
Use your roof
You need the right kind of roof, but some energy companies pay the cost of fixing solar equipment(around￡14,000), and let you use the energy produced for nothing. In return, they get paid for unused energy fed back into the National Grid. However, you have to sign a
25-year agreement with the supplier, which could prevent you from changing the roof.
4．If you earn ￡5000 from renting a room in one year, the tax you need to pay will be based on ______.
A．￡800 B．￡500
C．￡4500 D．￡5000
5．Where can you put an advertisement to rent out a room during a big event?
A．On Letpark. B．On Roomspare.
C．On Grashpadder. D．On Roommateeasy.

A．sign an agreement with the government
B．pay around ￡14,000 for the equipment
C．sell the roof to some energy companies
D．keep the roof unchanged for within 25 years
7．For whom the text most probably written?
A．Lodgers. B．Advertisers.
C．House owners. D．Online companies
If doctors want to test you for something, they’ll usually take a blood or urine sample. But wouldn’t it be much more convenient if they just asked you to breathe through a special instrument?
In fact, your breath can say a lot about you. In traditional Chinese medicine, doctors draw a conclusion about the health state of a patient based on the smell of his or her breath; trained dogs and rats can identify the smells of the breaths of people suffering from certain cancers; traffic police also monitor drivers’ alcohol consumption by testing their breaths.
Just like blood and urine, your breath contains lots of “metabolites” —the waste chemicals that the body produces, which vary from person to person. They are like personal health fingerprints, which is why scientists sometimes call them “breathprints”, according to Science Daily.
Compared to blood or urine testing, breath testing takes only seconds instead of hours, and it requires neither a needle nor a container to hold the body fluids(液). This means the test can be taken frequently to better detect early signs of diseases and monitor the progress of a medical treatment.
On the other hand, as an identifier, you might think that breaths are not as reliable as fingerprints since they might change based on what you eat. However, researchers in Zurich, Switzerland mapped 11 healthy volunteers’ chemical patterns by having them breathe through a special instrument, and they found that each pattern was unique and the patterns didn’t change much throughout the day, reported BBC．
“Our goal is to develop breath analysis to the point where it becomes competitive with the
established analysis of blood and urine,” said Malcolm Kohler, professor at the University Hospital Zurich.
8．According to the text we know that______.
A．breath varies from person to person based on food
B．your breath may give you away if you are not careful
C．doctors can test one’s breath to find about his illness
D．trained dogs can identify people with certain cancers
9．In comparison with blood or urine testing, breath testing is _______.
A．comfortable and convincing B．traditional and reliable
C．accurate and competitive D．quick and convenient
10．What is the author’s attitude toward breath testing?
A．Doubtful. B．Approving.
C．Unconcerned. D．Worried.
11．What can we infer from the text?
A．Breath testing is reliable and may have a bright future.
B．Blood or urine testing will be less used in medical treatment.
C．Doctors have found the best way to detect early signs of diseases.
D．Traditional Chinese medicine is becoming more and more popular.
Have you ever noticed what happens to an idea once you express it? Just talking about it or writing it down causes you to make it clear in your own mind. How can you use this to increase your brain power? Start writing.
By putting thoughts into words, you are telling yourself the logic (逻辑) behind what you think, feel, or only partly understand. Often, explaining a thought is the process of understanding. In other word s, you increase your brain power by exercising your “explain power.”
Try this experiment. Explain how you’ll increase your brain power, even if you have no idea right now. Just start with anything, and create an explanation. For example, start with “I’ll l earn chess,” or “I’ll read an article on the mind every week.” Explain how that will help. You’ll be surprised how often this becomes a workable plan, and if you actually do this, you’ll have a better understanding of your brain from now.
Another benefit of writing is that it helps you remember. Many, if not most, highly
productive people are always taking notes. You can try keeping it all in your head, but if you keep a journal of your ideas the next time you’re working on a big project, you’ll probably ha ve more success.
Want to understand a topic? Write a book about it. That’s an extreme example, but if you are learning something new, write a letter to a friend about it, and you will understand it better. Want to invent something? Write an explanation of the problem, why you want to solve it, and why it is worth solving, and you’re half-way there.
Writers don’t always write because they clearly understand something beforehand. Often, they write about something because they want to understand it. You can do the same. Writing will help bring you to an understanding. Give it a try.
12．What would be the best title for the text?
A．A Way on How to Write.
B．Increase Your Brain Power through Writing.
C．How to Start Your Writing.
D．Brain Power Helps Improve Your Writing.
13．According to the text, writing can help you a lot in the following ways EXCEPT _____. A．the increase of your brain power
B．the ability to remember
C．the development of your interest in study
D．the better understanding of a topic
14．The underlined sentence “you’re half-way there” in the fifth paragraph implies that ______. A．you are already successful
B．you still need to work hard
C．writing can help you walk half way
D．You have been on the way to success
15．What’s the main purpose of the writer writ ing the text?
A．To advise readers to start their writing.
B．To explain the importance of writing.
C．To persuade readers to become writers.
D．To increase readers’ brain power.
二、七选五

广告布告类阅读解题技巧：
阅读这类文章时，也应该在整体把握文章结构的前提下，主要注意细节信息。

细节题题干都是相应原文的变形(如同义改写、词性转换等)，因此要找到答案一定要找到题干在原文中的出处，再把原文和选项相比较。

做题时，根据所提问题用寻读、跳读的方法可达到事半功倍的效果。

同时，在阅读时也要特别注意文中以粗体、大写、下划线等方式加以提示的文字，因为这很有可能是文章的核心或某一部分内容的概括。

具体答题策略如下：
1、先题后文：
先读试题，了解考点；明确目的，快速捕捉，获取信息。

2、题干定向：
根据题干关键词到文中定位答案范围，按照题目顺序依次而下：问题与材料相同：对号入座；问题与原文相同：同义替换、归纳事实等。

如第22小题Where can you put an advertisement to rent out a room during a big event？根据题干中的during a big event可定位到文中Make money during special events标题下的一段，阅读后发现你可以在Grashpadder上发布广告信息。

10．推理判断题。

根据第四段的“Compared to blood or urine testing, breath testing takes only seconds instead of hours，and it requires neither a needle nor a container to hold the body fluids (体液)。

文章介绍了写作的好处：提高脑力，理解力，和记忆力。

作者建议读者们开始写作。

12．主旨大意题。

文章第一段即提出文章中心：写作可以提高脑力（How can you use this to increase your brain power? Start writing）。

下文作者对此作了具体解释。

所以短文的最佳标
题为“通过写作提高脑力”。

故选B项。

13．细节理解题。

由第二段中的“In other words, you increase your brain power by exercising your “explain power.”换句话说，你通过锻炼你的“解释能力”来增加你的脑力。

第四段中的“Another benefit of writing is that it helps you

通过这样做，你就走到了半路上，即你在成功的路上。

故选D项。

15．推理判断题。

文章第一段最后作者建议我们开始写作（“Start writing.”），下文几段详
细介绍了写作的好处，最后一段再次强调“Give it a try.”（试一试吧）。

很明显，作者通过介绍写作的好处，建议读者开始写作。

故选A项。

【点睛】概括主旨的方法是：先看首尾或各段开头再看全文找主题句，若无明显主题句，就
通过关键词句来概括(如议论文中寻找表达作者观点态度的词句，记叙文寻找概括情节和中心的动词或反映人物特点的形容词)。

文中出现两种或两种以上的不同观点时，务必牢记作者的观点才是体现全文中心的。

在第一小题中，文章第一段明确提出：How can you use this to increase your brain power? Start writing.即：写作可以提高脑力。

下文通过具体介绍写作的好处证明了这一中心。

这是一篇介绍说明类文章。

很多人在晚上睡觉时中途会醒，那么，如何容易地重新入睡呢，文章给我们提出了几条建议。

16．考查上下文理解和逻辑推理能力。

上文提到：晚上偶尔醒了是正常的（It’s normal to wake briefly during the night.），承接上文，B选项切题：事实上，有的睡眠好的人甚至不记得了。

17．考查上下文理解和逻辑推理能力。

上文提到：重新入睡的关键在于继续让你的身体做好睡觉的准备，要以放松的姿势躺在床上（The key to getting back to sleep is continuing to prepare your body for sleep, so remain in bed in a relaxed position.）。

该空下文提到：专注于身体的感受（So just focus on the feelings and sensations in your body.）。

承上启下，F选项切题：压力和焦虑会使你处于清醒的状态。

18．考查上下文理解和逻辑推理能力。

上文提到：如果你发现重新入睡很难，那么你可以尝试使用想象，深呼吸或冥想等放松技能（If you are finding it hard to fall back asleep, try a relaxation technique such as visualization, deep breathing, or meditation (沉思). ）。

承接该句，D 选项切题：你甚至在不用起床的情况下都可以做这些技能。

该选项中的They对应上一句话里的visualization, deep breathing, or meditation (沉思)。

19．考查上下文理解和逻辑推理能力。

下一句话提到：它们发出的这一类光会刺激大脑。

（The type of light they send out is stimulating(刺激)the brain。

该空应表明下一句中的“they”指代的事物，且该类事物会发光。

故G选项切题：还要避开计算机，电视，手机等的屏幕。

20．考查上下文理解和逻辑推理能力。

上文提到：如果你在晚上醒来，对某件事感到焦虑的
话，那么在纸上简洁的将它写下来（If you wake during the night feeling anxious about something, make a brief note of it on paper）。

下一句提到：你可能会发现当你头脑清楚的时候，这件事会容易一点儿。

由此可以推知，作者建议将你感到焦虑的事情推到第二天去做。

【名师点睛】
完形填空题的命题特点及答题方法：
1.侧重基础知识，考查学生语言知识的能力
完形填空以文入手，结合文章的内容考查学生的基础知识，主要是词语搭配、固定句型、近义词辨析、辨析句子结构、掌握语法规则的能力，其中考查实词居多。

2.上下文对照，考查学生捕捉关键词的能力
做完形填空题时，单独看一句话是找不到正确答案的，需要注意句子间的关系及句子与段落的关系。

所谓上下对照，即在上文和下文中找到与正确答案相同的关键词。

因此，在做题时要边读边在大脑中储存上下文信息的能力，捕捉关键词。
