第二部分：阅读理解（共两节, 满分40分）
第一节： (共15小题；每小题2分, 满分30分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

A
Most of us feel very tired after working for eight hours a day, five days a week. When we get home, we watch at least one film because it's well-deserved and the only time we get to "relax" before going to sleep. Wake up and repeat. No wonder you feel tired. So how do you get out of this vicious circle? How do you restart your life?
1. YOUR MINDSET
"Oh man, another one of these self-improvement things. I hope I can do it, but I've tried these things before, and I just never stick to it."
This was something I used to say to myself every time I try to start something new for myself. There's a fear-driven side of your brain which tells you, "You can't do this."
What can you do? Well, the tip here is to talk to yourself like you're talking to a friend, or a coworker. So the next time you try something new, be kind to yourself like you would be kind to others. You are your own worst critic. But you can also be your firm defender.
2. YOUR DIET
If you are looking at what you eat for the reason to feel energized, then the general rules are:
1) Eat when you're hungry. Don't eat when you're not.
2) Be mindful when you eat. Chew at least 20 times. Let yourself taste and digest your food.
3) Don't do three things at once when you're eating. Your body wasn't made for that.
4) Preferably, eat "real" food. Eat what your great-grandmother would recognize
as food.
Don't let your days pass by in a boring way. Start by re-examining these key habits in your life to build a body that can start doing things you want.
3. YOUR SLEEP
Without enough sleep, we're basically going through the day drunk. This means tiredness, difficulty to respond quickly and smartly to anything that comes up. The sleeping hours needed for an average adult ranges from 7 to 9 hours.
1. What does the underlined word "vicious" most probably mean?
A. Strange.
B. Awful.
C. Friendly.
D. Worthy.
2. When the author starts something new, he .
A. often feels he can't stick to it
B. puts everything else aside
C. always keeps on doing it
D. believes he can complete it
3. What should one do if he thinks he can't do something new?
A. He should persuade himself to have a try.
B. He should defend himself from being hurt.
C. He should think about it and give it up
D. He should force himself to do it.
4. What will most likely be discussed after the last paragraph?
A. Why is sleep important?
B. How long should we sleep?
C. How can we sleep properly?
D. Why do people dream when sleeping? 【答案】1. B 2. A 3. A 4. C
【解析】

这是一篇说明文。

短文介绍了三点建议可以让疲惫的人们经历充沛，生活焕然一新。

【1题详解】
词义猜测题。

由第一段“Most of us feel very tired after working for eight hours a day, five days a week. When we get home, we watch at least one film because it's well-deserved and the only time we get to "relax" before going to sleep. Wake up and repeat. No wonder you feel tired. So how do you get out of this vicious circle?”
可知，对于我们大多数人来说，在至少一周5天、一天8小时的工作之后都感觉很疲惫。

回到家我们至少要看一部电影，因为我们太应该放松一下了，而且那是睡觉之前唯一的放松时间。

早上醒来再重复同样的日程，重复、重复再重复，难怪你会那么累。

那你该如何走出这样的恶性循环呢？可知，每天重复同样的日程，这是让人感到疲惫的原因。

这是一个恶性的循环，所以作者在疑问如何走出这样的恶性循环。

故下划线的“vicious”这个词最有可能是awful“极为糟糕的”。

故B选项正确。

【2题详解】
细节理解题。

由 YOUR MINDSET中的“This was something I used to say to myself every time I try to start something new for myself. There's a fear-driven side of your brain which tells you, "You can't do this.”可知，每次我尝试新鲜事物时都会对自己说些什么。

你大脑中被恐惧控制的那部分在对你说：“你不行。

”所以，每当作者尝试新鲜事物时。

常常觉得自己无法坚持下去。

故A选项正确。

【3题详解】
细节理解题。

由 YOUR MINDSET中的“So the next time you try something new, be kind to yourself like you would be kind to others. You are your own worst critic. But you can also be your firm defender.”可知，所以下次你尝试新鲜事物时，对自己要像对别人一样和善，你就是自己最大的批评家，但你也是自己忠实的维护者。

当别人不敢尝试新鲜事物时，我们都能够耐心地力劝他们去试一试，当我们不敢尝试新鲜事物时，我们也可以像力劝其他人一样劝自己去尝试一下。

所以，如果一个人认为他不能做一些新事物时，他应该说服自己去试一试。

故A选项正确。

【4题详解】
推理判断题。

由最后段“Without enough sleep, we're basically going through the day drunk. This means tiredness, difficulty to respond quickly and smartly to anything that comes up. The sleeping hours needed for an average adult ranges from 7 to 9 hours.”可知，如果睡眠不足我们一天都会昏昏沉沉的，这个意味着疲劳、很难对发生的事做出快速敏捷的反应。

普通成年人所需的睡眠时间为7~9小时。

短文介绍了三点建议可以让你经历充沛，生活焕然一新，而本段是关于睡眠方面的建议。

如何更好的睡眠？除了保证睡眠的时间是不够的，所以为了提高睡眠质量，使你经历充沛，生活焕然一新。

接下来的段落还要讨论怎么样才能睡得好？故C选项正确。

【点睛】根据上一段的内容来判断下一段的内容是解决判断题的重要的切入点。

这一般适用
于推测短文最后一段之后段落的内容。

在这样的判断出，短文最后一段通常会以问题的方式留下疑问，或者以陈述句的形式给读者留下一个悬而未决的问题。

这个时候以问题的方式留下疑问或者以陈述句的形式给读者留下一个悬而未决的问题就是下一段要讨论的内容。

由最后段“Without enough sleep, we're basically going through the day drunk. This means tiredness, difficulty to respond quickly and smartly to anything that comes up. The sleeping hours needed for an average adult ranges from 7 to 9 hours.”可知，如果睡眠不足我们一天都会昏昏沉沉的，意味着会疲劳、很难对发生的事做出快速敏捷的反应普通成年人所需的睡眠时间为7~9小时。

短文介绍了三点建议可以让你经历充沛，生活焕然一新，而本段是关于睡眠方面的建议。

如何更好的睡眠？除了保证睡眠的时间是不够的，所以为了提高睡眠质量，使你经历充沛，生活焕然一新。

接下来的段落还要讨论怎么样才能睡得好？故小题4的正确选项为C选项。

B
Growing up, I was an extremely reserved(腼腆的) boy. I didn't have many friends in primary and middle school and rarely opened up to anyone. I didn't even ask my teacher questions in class. I was scared of the world and the people around.
As a child, I was scared to do anything without my parents mainly because I was afraid that I would do it badly. I was getting good grades and was well-behaved, but I wasn't happy. It was my belief that I was, for some reason, unable to do the things the others kids could do. I felt inadequate.
While in my second semester of college, I ran into some information on the Internet about something called social anxiety. I didn't really know much of the disorder. Thus I began to read about some of the symptoms and realized that social anxiety was the thing that hurt me so much.
It is common knowledge that people with social anxiety experience nervousness in social situations. What a lot of people don't know is that one of the main causes of social anxiety is negative thinking. People having a negative idea of themselves often think that they are ugly or stupid.
I realized what I was truly afraid of: not being good enough. I was afraid that people would look at me and would not like what they saw; I was scared of rejection.
To help deal with these problems I began to practice meditation(沉思) and other mindfulness exercises. My mind slowly began to change.
I realized that everyone, from star athletes to noble prize winners, experiences fear in their lives. Whether people are afraid of heights, planes, spiders, or talking to girls, we all experience anxiety and fear. There is no reason for anyone to feel excluded(排除在外的) because something scares them. People with anxiety disorders might have "problems", but there is nothing wrong with them as people. They are just as humans as everyone else.
5. What do we know about the author from the first two paragraphs?
A. He was poor at his subjects.
B. He grew up in an awful environment.
C. He was shy and lacked confidence.
D. He did not show respect for his teachers.
6. What are the characteristics of people with social anxiety?
A. They want to have high social status in society.
B. They desire to get more with less effort.
C. They talk a lot about themselves in public.
D. They often believe that others are better than them.
7. How did the author recover from his social anxiety?
A. He did a lot of exercise.
B. He adjusted his way of thinking.
C. He sought help from his professors.
D. He surrounded himself with something positive.
8. What is the writer' s attitude towards people with anxiety?
A. He believes that they should overcome it together.
B. He argues that people treat them equally.
C. He insists that they be given some help.
D. He thinks people should sympathize with them.
【答案】5. C 6. D 7. B 8. B
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇记叙文。

作者叙述了作者在成长过程中是个极其腼腆的，缺乏自信的孩子，
这让他很不快乐，直到在大学的第二学期，在网上偶然发现自己患上的是社会焦虑症，导致的主要原因是因为具有消极的思想，并意识到这种症状在很多人中都能存在。

作者开始慢慢改变着自己的消极思想。

【5题详解】
推理判断题。

由第一段“Growing up, I was an extremely reserved(腼腆的) boy. I didn't have many friends in primary and middle school and rarely opened up to anyone. I didn't even ask my teacher questions in class. I was scared of the world and the people around.”第二段“As a child, I was scared to do anything without my parents mainly because I was afraid that I would do it badly.It was my belief that I was, for some reason, unable to do the things the others kids could do. I felt inadequate.”可知，在成长的过程中,我是一个极其腼腆的男孩。

我在小学和初中没有很多朋友，也很少向任何人敞开心扉。

我甚至没有在课堂上问老师问题。

我害怕这个世界和周围的人。

当我还是个孩子的时候，没有父母我什么都不敢做，主要是因为我害怕我会做得不好。

我相信，出于某种原因，我不能做孩子们能做的事情。

我觉得信心不足。

所以从作者对自描述可以判断出，作者很害羞，缺乏自信。

故从前两段我们得知作者很害羞，缺乏自信。

从故C选项正确。

【6题详解】
细节理解题。

由第四段“What a lot of people don't know is that one of the main causes of social anxiety is negative thinking. People having a negative idea of themselves often think that they are ugly or stupid.”可知，很多人不知道的是，社交焦虑的主要原因之一是有消极思想。

对自己有负面看法的人通常认为自己很丑或很愚蠢。

所以有社交焦虑的特点是他们通常认为自己很丑或很愚蠢，他们常常认为别人比他们好。

故D选项正确。

【7题详解】
细节理解题。

由第五段“To help deal with these problems, I began to practice meditation(沉思) and other mindfulness exercises. My mind slowly began to change.”可知，为了解决这些问题，我开始了冥想练习和正念减压疗法的练习。

我的想法开始慢慢改变。

所以作者为了从焦虑中恢复过来，他调整了他的思维方式。

故B选项正确。

【8题详解】
推理判断题。

由最后段“ There is no reason for anyone to feel excluded(排除在外的)
because something scares them. People with anxiety disorders might have "problems", but there is nothing wrong with them as people. They are just as humans as everyone else.”可知，没有理由让任何人感到被排斥，因为有些事情让他们害怕。

患有焦虑症的人可能有“问题”，但他们作为人并没有什么问题。

他们和其他人一样是人类。

所以通过作者对于患有焦虑症的人的看法。

可以判断出，作者对焦虑者的态度是，他认为人们应该平等对待他们。

故B选项正确。

【点睛】根据文章中人物对某件事的看法是解决推理判断题的重要方法，因为通过所说的内容，我们可以判断出，作者所要想表达的观点是积极的还是消极的，是中立的还是支持或者否定某一方，对事情是关心的还是冷漠的。

是在提出建议还是在提出具体的解决措施。

由最后段“ There is no reason for anyone to feel excluded(排除在外的) because something scares them. People with anxiety disorders might have "problems", but there is nothing wrong with them as people. They are just as humans as everyone else.”可知，没有理由让任何人感到被排斥，因为有些事情让他们害怕。

患有焦虑症的人可能有“问题”，但他们作为人并没有什么问题。

他们和其他人一样是人类。

所以通过作者对于患有焦虑症的人的看法。

可以判断出，作者对焦虑者的态度是，他认为人们应该平等对待他们。

故小题4的正确选项为B选项。

C
The streets of Stockholm may be cold and snowy during winter, but it is one of the world's hottest startup(创业) centers and a good choice for people with talent worldwide.
Once the snow melts(融化) in early spring, the city is among the greenest in the world. Two thirds of Stockholm is made up of either water or parks, and locals make it the first thing to enjoy these peaceful surroundings. Less than l% of Swedish employees work more than 50 hours per week.
The quality of life is important. New parents are given 480 days of leave to look after their babies, while childcare is heavily supported in various sides. Little wonder that Sweden was rated the best location in the world for family life. Adam Webb, 34, a British businessman and father-of-one, said, "Everything is set towards helping parents, from giving dads time off on almost full pay to free bus rides for
anyone with a baby carriage."
Stockholm is also proud of what Vogue magazine recently ranked as Europe's coolest neighborhood. On the island of Sodermalm, just south of the city centre, independent record stores still make money, while plenty of cafes offer a taste for Scandinavia's love affairs with timeless style.
Many major international companies, including H&M and Ericsson, offer expats(外来者) accommodation for the first three months of their contracts(合同) in Stockholm. But other foreigners arriving in the city are left to battle with a unique property market and a shortage of apartments. More than a third of Swedes live in rented housing, half of which is owned by local governments or state rental companies. If you're lucky enough to get a firsthand contract for this kind of accommodation, it is yours for life. Expats are welcome to join the queue, but in Stockholm they will find around half a million locals in front of them and an average wait of nine years.
"Finding a place to live is the single biggest challenge when moving to Stockholm, but there is a lot going on to try and solve the problem," said Julika Lamberth from Stockholm Business Region, a state-funded company working to increase investment in the city.
9. Stockholm attracts international talent probably because of its .
A. beautiful weather
B. free apartments
C. working policies for employees
D. widespread greenness in the city
10. Sweden is on the top of the world for its .
A. tourism
B. sports
C. family life
D. record stores
11. What can be the best title of the passage?
A. Have More Babies? Go to Sweden!
B. The Best Neighborhood in Sweden
C. The Best City for Working Families
D. The Most Comfortable Apartments in Stockholm
【答案】9. C 10. C 11. C
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。

短文介绍了斯德哥尔摩是工作家庭最宜居住的城市。

【9题详解】
细节理解题。

由第一段“..but it is one of the world's hottest startup(创业) centers and a good choice for people with talent worldwide”以及第二段“Less than l% of Swedish employees work more than 50 hours per week.”可知，斯德哥尔摩是全球初创公司最为集中的一个热点，吸引着来自世界各地的精英。

员工每周工作时间超过 50 小时的不足 1%。

所以斯德哥尔摩吸引着来自世界各地的精英可能是因为这座城市对员工的工作政策。

瑞典故C选项正确。

【10题详解】
细节理解题。

由第三段“ Little wonder that Sweden was rated the best location in the world for family life”可知，难怪瑞典被评为全球最宜于居家生活的地方。

所以瑞典是全球最宜于居家生活的地方。

故C选项正确。

【11题详解】
主旨大意题。

由第一段“Once the snow melts(融化) in early spring, the city is among the greenest in the world.”第二段“The quality of life is important”第三段“Stockholm is also proud of what Vogue magazine recently ranked as Europe's coolest neighborhood”可知，早春冰雪融化之际，这座城市是世界上最绿意盎然的城市之一。

生活品质至上。

斯德哥尔摩也是潮人的天堂，《时尚》杂志近期将其列为欧洲最酷的城市。

所以短文主要是围绕着“斯德哥尔摩是工作家庭最宜居住的城市”而展开的，故短文最佳标题为“斯德哥尔摩是工作家庭最宜居住的城市”。

故C选项正确。

D
Scientists can figure out a movie's emotional tone from the gasps(喘气) of its audience. These gases could point the way to a subtle(微妙的，精细的) form of human communication, a new study suggests.
"When you see a movie, you can hear the music and see the pictures. However, you don't realize here are chemical signals in the air. And they, too, could be affecting you, says Williams, who led the study. As an atmospheric chemist, he studies the chemical makeup of the air around us.
Williams started out measuring the air in a soccer stadium. He noticed that levels
of carbon dioxide and other gases changed wildly whenever the crowd cheered. That got him wondering -- Could the gases people breathe out be influenced by emotions?
To find out, he went to the movies.
Williams and his coworkers measured air samples collected over six weeks in two movie theaters. Overall, 9,500 movie goers watched 16 films. They included a mix of comedy, romance, action and horror films. Among them were The Hunger Games, Catching Fire, Carrie, and Walking with Dinosaurs. The researchers gave scenes from the movies such labels as “suspense(悬疑)”, "laughter" and "crying". Then they looked for hundreds of chemicals in the air that showed up as people were watching particular movie scenes.
And certain scenes had distinct chemical "fingerprints". Scenes that had people laughing or on the edge of their seats were especially distinctive. During screenings of The Hunger Games, levels of carbon dioxide and isoprene got to the highest at two suspenseful moments. Because isoprene is related to muscle movement, the researchers think tense movie moments likely led to its spikes(尖峰). Williams and his colleagues think the increase in carbon dioxide was due to the viewers' increased pulse and breathing rates.
Scientists need more data to make stronger links between human emotions and what's in their breath. But Williams can see potential practical uses. Companies, for instance, could quickly measure the air during tests to see how people feel about new products. He pictures future studies recording other body variables(变数) as well. These might include heart rate and body temperature, for instance. "It's something to find out."
12. What was Williams's purpose of the research?
A. To know more about the makeup of the air.
B. To find out how the air changes in a crowded stadium
C. To study how greatly the movies influence people's emotion.
D. To see whether people's emotion affects the air they breathe out.
13. What do we know about the experiment?
A. Each participant watched about 16 films.
B. The movies were a mixture of comedy and romance.
C. The film scenes were labeled with three main features.
D. The samples were taken in two theaters over six weeks.
14. In which situation are people most emotional?
A. Romantic moments.
B. Exciting situations.
C. Suspenseful situations.
D. Horrible moments.
15. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. Human emotions are strongly related to the chemicals humans breathe out.
B. People's temperature will be measured when they' re watching movies.
C. Williams thinks more measures should be taken for practical uses.
D. Companies will spend much money testing their new product.
【答案】12. D 13. D 14. C 15. C
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。

短文介绍了人类情感和他们呼出的气体之间的关系。

【12题详解】
细节理解题。

由第三段“ That got him wondering -- Could the gases people breathe out be influenced by emotions?”可知，这让他想知道——人们呼出的气体会受到情感的影响吗？所以威廉姆斯的研究目的是看看人们的情感是否会影响到他们呼出的气体。

故D选项正确。

【13题详解】
细节理解题。

由第五段“Williams and his coworkers measured air samples collected over six weeks in two movie theaters”可知，威廉姆斯和他的同事测量了在两个电影院六个星期内收集的空气样本。

所以这些样品是在两个电影院六个星期内收集的样本。

故D选项正确。

【14题详解】
细节理解题。

由倒数第二段“During screenings of The Hunger Games, levels of carbon dioxide and isoprene got to the highest at two suspenseful moments.”可知，在《饥饿游戏》的放映过程中，二氧化碳和异戊二烯的含量在充满悬念的时刻含量达到最高。

所以在充满悬念的时刻二氧化碳和异戊二烯的含量最高，这时候人们表现的情感最强烈。

故C选项正确。

【15题详解】
推理判断题。

由最后段“Scientists need more data to make stronger links between human emotions and what's in their breath. But Williams can see potential practical uses. He pictures future studies recording other body variables(变数) as well. These might include heart rate and body temperature, for instance. "It's something to find out."可知，科学家需要更多的数据来确定人类情感和他们呼出的气体之间的联系。

但威廉姆斯看到了潜在的实际用途。

他还描绘了记录其他身体变量的未来研究。

例如，这些可能包括心率和体温。

”这是需要了解的。

”所以这个研究还需要进一步地得到证实，在实际应用中，还有很多因素需要考虑。

故判断出，威廉姆认为要想实际应用，应该采取更多的标准保证其科学性和准确性。

故C选项正确。

第二节（共5小题；每小题2分, 满分10分）
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

选项中有两项为多余选项。

The winter vacation during the senior year of high school can be a stressful time for students. ___16___ They may also be feeling sad that time with family and friends having a relaxation. Here are some wise ways to spend the last winter vacation of high school.

You should start doing laundry and more things on your own. In this way, you can learn to become responsible.
For students who haven’t decided on a major, the last winter vacation of high school can be an opportunity to explore their interests. Students are often told they'll have time to decide on a major once they get to college. However, the last winter break might be the freest time they'll have for a while. ___18___ Besides a major, you also need to decide on a school. This is a great time to go on more campus visits. ___19___ Take another visit to ensure you're making the right choice. Sometimes, seeing the school in different seasons can help you decide if it is truly where you belong.
___20___ Some students agree they should take advantage of time at home with family
and friends while they still can. But most students don't realize how important family is until they've moved away. As you get more into college life, you will probably not be returning home as often, so take this opportunity. Enjoy your friends and family, as it will all change once you enter college.
A. Enjoy quality time at home.
B. Don't visit a campus just once.
C. Spend more time with your friends.
D. Ask your parents what major you can study.

这是一篇说明文。

短文介绍了一些度过高中最后一个寒假的明智方法。

【16题详解】
由第一段“The winter vacation during the senior year of high school can be a stressful time for students. ”可知，高中三年级的寒假，对学生来说是一个充满压力的时期。

所以小题2要说明具体面临什么样的压力。

故G选项“他们可能面临选择学校的压力”符合句意。

故G选项切题。

【17题详解】
由第二段“After you enter college, you have to do a lot of things on your own. Although some may just want to spend winter break sleeping and relaxing, it's the right time for you to begin taking on some household tasks. You should start doing laundry and more things on your own. In this way, you can learn to become responsible.”可知，进入大学后，你必须自己做很多事情。

虽然有些人只是想在寒假里睡觉放松一下，但现在正是你开始做家务的好时机。

你应该开始自己洗衣服和做更多的事情。

这样，你就能学会负责任。

所以小题2在句中起到承上启下的作用。

故F选项“你会变得独立，对自己负责”符合句意。

故F选项切题。

【18题详解】
由第三段“However, the last winter break might be the freest time they'll have for a while.”可知，然而，最后一次寒假可能是他们所拥有的最自由的一段时期。

所以小题3与前一句构成因果关系。

故E选项“所以弄清楚你在大学真正喜欢学的专业”符合句意。

故E 选项切题。

【19题详解】
由第四段“Take another visit to ensure you're making the right choice. Sometimes, seeing the school in different seasons can help you decide if it is truly where you belong.”可知，再次参观以确保你做出正确的选择。

有时候，在不同的季节参观学校可以帮助你决定它是否真正适合你。

所以小题4要说明不要只是参观一次校园，然后接着说再次参观学校的重要性。

故B选项“不要只参观一次校园”符合句意。

故B选项切题。

由最后段“Some students agree they should take advantage of time at home with family and friends while they still can. But most students don't realize how important family is until they've moved away. As you get more into college life, you will probably not be returning home as often, so take this opportunity. Enjoy your friends and family, as it will all change once you enter college”可知，一些学生认为，他们应该趁现在还可以的时候，充分利用在家与家人和朋友呆在一起的时间。

但是大多数学生直到离家了才意识到家庭的重要性。

随着你进入大学生活，你可能不会经常回家，所以抓住这个机会。

享受和你的朋友和家人待在一起的时光，因为一旦你进入大学，一切都会改变。

所以本段主要在说明享受在家的美好时光，也就是小题5本段的标题所要表达的内容。

故A选项“享受在家的美好时光”符合句意。

A选项切题。
