Do you like to flaunt your expensive items? You could find yourself without friends! Scientists prove that expensive status symbols make you look less socially attractive.
Items such as a fancy car and a Rolex watch are often thought to increase our social standing and often come with a high price tag(标签).According to the latest research, however, it has the opposite effect and people would prefer to be friends with someone who places less value on material objects.
“Often we think that status symbols will make us look more socially attractive to others, “says Stephen Garcia, the study's lead author from the University of Michigan. He adds, “However, our research suggests that these status signals actually make us look less socially attractive.
The researchers conducted six studies which assessed how people presented themselves and how people viewed strangers. People who chose to wear higher status items tended to get a negative response, but people wanted to be friends with people who preferred lower status symbols.
The study took the role of the luxury item to see if it was possible that the expensive item itself played a part in people's reactions. The definition of a status symbol changed based on a person's socioeconomic status, but the same effect of keeping off potential friends was seen regardless of social position.
"At a social level, we may be wasting billions of dollars on expensive status symbols that finally keep others from wanting to associate with us, "says Kimberlee Weaver Livnat at the University of Haifa. She says, "And to the extent that close friendships are important to well-being, we may be unintentionally hurting ourselves.”
However, Patricia Chen of the National University of Singapore said this does not necessarily mean status symbols are a bad thing. She says, "Our findings right now only apply to the formation of new friendships, Status symbols may be beneficial at other times and in other settings, such as when trying to establish new business contacts.”
8. What does the underlined word "flaunt" in paragraph I mean?
A. Show off. B. Get rid of.
C. Give away. D. Hand in.
9. Which is the negative influence of expensive status symbols?
A. Lowering people's social status.
B. Preventing people from making friends.
C. Doing harm to people's health absolutely.
D. Changing people s consumption concept.
10. Who may be more popular among friends according to the text?
A. People who are very rich. B. People with high social status.
C. People who keep a low profile. D. People with charming appearance.
11. What attitude does Patricia Chen have towards status symbols?
A. Positive B. Unconcerned.
C. Critical . D. Casual.
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. C 11. A

【点睛】词义猜测题猜词技巧
阅读理解的测试中经常有猜测词、短语、习语意义的题目，这些词、短语、习语要么是生词，要么是熟词新义，单靠平时积累是不够的，还要掌握一定的做题技巧。总结如下：
(1)根据构词法(转化、合成、派生)进行判断
(2) 根据文中的定义、解释猜生词 ；利用事例或解释猜生词；利用重复解释的信息猜生词
(3)根据上下文的指代关系进行选择：文章中的代词it，that，he，him或them可以指上文提到的人或物，其中it和that还可以指一件事。
(4)根据转折或对比关系进行判断：根据上下句连接词，如but，however，otherwise等就可以看到前后句在意义上的差别，从而依据某一句的含义，来确定另一句的含义。
(5)根据因果关系进行判断：俗话说，“有因必有果，有果必有因”。根据原因可以预测结果，根据结果也可以找出原因。
(6)根据同位关系进行判断：阅读中有时出现新词、难词，后面就跟着一个同位语，对前面的词进行解释，有时这种解释也用连词“or”连接。例如：
(7)利用标点符号和提示词猜测词义。分号（；）还可以表示转折、对比或不相干的意义。破折号表示解释说明。
如第一小题，根据下文Scientists prove that expensive status symbols make you look less socially attractive.（科学家证明，昂贵的身份象征会让你在社交上显得不那么有吸引力。）可知昂贵的身份标志性的物品不利于交友,而喜欢炫耀的人可能会没有朋友。故可知划线部分单词意思为“炫耀”。故选A。

About one million adults in the USA need someone to help them eat. Researchers at the University of Washington are working on a robotic system that can help make it easier. After identifying different food on a plate, the robot can decide how to use a fork to pick up and deliver the desired bite to a person s mouth.
“Being dependent on a caregiver to feed every bite every day takes away a person's sense of independence, "said the researcher. “Our goal with this project is to give people a bit more control over their lives the idea was to develop a feeding system that would be attached to wheelchairs and feed people whatever they wanted to eat.
“When we started the project, we realized there are so many ways that people can eat a piece of food depending on its size, shape or consistency(坚实度)," said the researcher, “So we set up an experiment to see how humans eat common foods.”
The researchers arranged plates with about a dozen different kinds of food, ranging in consistency from hard carrots to soft bananas, Then the team gave volunteers a fork and asked them to pick up different pieces of food and feed them to a model. The fork contained a sensor to measure how much force people used when they picked up food.
To design a feeding strategy that changes based on the food item, the researchers combined two different algorithms (算法).First they used an object-detection algorithm called Retina Net, which scans the plate, identifies the types of food on it and places a frame around each item. Then they developed SPNet, an algorithm that examines the type of food in a specific frame and tells the robot the best way to pick up the food.
The team is currently working with the Taskar Center for Accessible Technology to get advice from caregivers and patients on how to improve the system to meet people's need.
12. Why do the researchers work on the robotic system?
A. To help old people live a normal life.
B. To help people improve their health.
C. To release people from heavy housework.
D. To make some people more independent.
13. How does the robotic system work?
A. By picking up some soft food. B. By picking out food on the wheelchair.
C. By working with some nurses. D. By observing and delivering food.
14. What can be inferred about the robotic system?
A. It needs further research. B. It has come onto the market.
C. It is suitable for any disabled person. D. It has won people's great concern.
15. What may be the best title for the text?
A. The process of inventing a robotic system.
B. A new way to help those who don't like eating.
C. Robotic feeders for humans are coming into being.
D. Caregivers are going to lose their jobs in the future.
【答案】12. D 13. D 14. A 15. C
【解析】

【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段About one million adults in the USA need someone to help them eat. Researchers at the University of Washington are working on a robotic system that can help make it easier.（美国大约有100万成年人需要有人帮助他们吃饭。华盛顿大学的研究人员正在研究一种机器人系统，它可以帮助简化这一过程。）以及文章主要内容可知本文主要介绍了一款可以喂人吃饭的机器人系统正在研发中一事。故选C。
【点睛】主旨大意题的做题技巧。
1) 主旨大意题属于归纳概括题。如有标题，标题中蕴含的信息往往是关键信息。
2) 找准文章的主题句是关键。“主题句定位法”是一种行之有效的方法。在答题时，我们可以：读首句抓大意；读尾句抓大意；读首尾段抓大意。
3.) 无明显主题句时高频信息词，任一篇文章都是围绕某个主题展开的，因此，有的文章中最明显的特点之一是有一个反复出现的中心词，即高频词，也叫做主题词。抓住了它，便容易抓住文章的中心。
如第四小题，根据第一段About one million adults in the USA need someone to help them eat. Researchers at the University of Washington are working on a robotic system that can help make it easier.（美国大约有100万成年人需要有人帮助他们吃饭。华盛顿大学的研究人员正在研究一种机器人系统，它可以帮助简化这一过程。）以及文章主要内容可知本文主要介绍了一款可以喂人吃饭的机器人系统正在研发中一事。故选C。

【答案】41. what

48. valuable
49. named 50. mountains
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇记叙文。记叙了美国墨西哥州的历史由来。
【41题详解】
考查连词。句意：专家们认为，在最后一个冰河时代，他们从现在的俄罗斯跨越一座大陆桥——白令海峡迁徙过来。本句为宾语从句，从句中缺少主语，并代指“地方”。故填what。
【42题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意同上。call和 bridge在逻辑上构成了动宾关系,因此用过去分词形式来充当后置定语。故填called。
【43题详解】
考查副词。句意：数千年后，包括阿帕奇族、祖尼族、纳瓦霍族和普韦布洛族在内的美洲土著部落居住在这片土地上。late作副词用时,意为“晚,最近”,而 later作副词用时,意为“后来,以后”。根据上下文,可知用 later表示“以后”符合文义。故填later。
【44题详解】
考查名词。句意：1540年，西班牙探险家弗朗西斯科·巴斯克斯·德·科罗纳多(Francisco Vazquez de Coronado)来到这里，寻找传说中存在于美洲的黄金城市。Francisco Vazquez de Coronado是个人名,充当前词的同位语。故可知设空处应该填名词explorer符合要求。
【45题详解】
考查定语从句。句意同上。本句为定语从句修饰先行词gold，且在从句中做主语,指物故用that或 which引导。
【46题详解】
考查介词。句意：1821年，墨西哥宣布脱离西班牙独立，该地区成为墨西哥的一部分。固定短语independence from“独立自主；独立”。故填from。
【47题详解】
考查动词时态语态。句意：1912年，它被宣布为美国第47个州。declare后面可以跟双宾语连用,句意为“在1912年,新墨西哥州被宣布成为美国的第47个州”,由此可知此处应该用一般过去时的被动语态。故填was declared。
【48题详解】
考查形容词。句意：当西班牙人开始探索这一地区时，他们希望能找到和他们早些时候在墨西哥发现的一样有价值的土地。固定结构“as+形容词原形+as”表示“和……一样”，故填value的形容词形式valuable。
【49题详解】
考查动词时态。句意：所以他们把这个地区命名为新墨西哥。本句是在回顾新墨西哥州州名的由来,所以谓语动词用一般过去时。故填named。
【50题详解】
考查名词的数。句意：从高山到森林和沙漠，这个州有着美丽的风景。mountain是可数名词,再根据后文的“ forests and deserts”可知应用复数形式mountains。
【点睛】名词性从句关键在于三点：一、找准从句在主句中充当的成分即分出是名词性从句的主语句、宾语从句、表语从句还是同位语从句。二、连接词从句中充当的成分（主、宾、定或状语或不做任何成分）三、弄清楚每个连接词的意义。此外还要注意，近年来高考对于名词性从句的考查多从名词性从句的语序和连接词的用法区别上考查。如第一小题，本句为宾语从句，从句中缺少主语，并代指“地方”。故填what。
第四部分 写作(共两节,满分35分)
第一节 短文改错(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)
51.假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文,请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。文中共有10处语言错误,每句中最多有两处。每处错误仅涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。
增加:在缺词处加一个漏字符号(^),并在其下面写出该加的词。
删除:把多余的词用斜线(\)划掉。

I read a story about a girl last week. The girl carried a pot of milk in her head to the market. Walked along the street, she began calculating what she would buy before she sold the milk. She said to her, "I'll buy a new dress, and when I go to the ball, all the young man will lance with me." When she spoke, she shakes her head happily. The pot immediately fell onto the ground, and milk was spilled(洒出) The girl went to back without anything. She felt very sadly. Her mother comforted her and said, “My child, don't count your chickens before they are hatching.”
【答案】1.in→on
2.Walked→Walking
3.before→after
4.her→herself
5.man→men
6.shakes→shook
7.milk前加the
8.去掉to
9.sadly→sad
10.hatching→hatched
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇记叙文。讲述了一个女孩过早打如意算盘结果弄洒了头上的牛奶的故事。
【详解】1.考查介词。句意：这个女孩头上顶着一壶牛奶去市场。此处表示“在头上”介词应用on。故in改为on。
2.考查非谓语动词。句意：走在街上，她开始计算她卖完牛奶后要买什么。句子的主语是she与walk构成了逻辑上的主动关系,所以用现在分词作伴随状语。故Walked改为Walking。
3.考查连词。句意同上。根据句意可知表示“在……之后”，应用 after引导时间状语从句。故before改为after。
4.考查代词。句意：她想:“我要买件新衣服去参加舞会，所有的年轻小伙子都会跟我一起跳舞的。”当句子的主语和宾语是同一人的时候,宾语应该用反身代词。故her改为herself。
5.考查名词单复数。句意同上。根据上文中的all,可知舞会上的男性应该不止一个,所以man用复数。故man改为men。
6.考查时态。句意：她说话时高兴地摇摇头。文章是在讲一个发生在过去的故事,所以用一般过去时来表述。故shakes改为shook。
7.考查冠词。句意同上。女孩洒在地上的牛奶就是她准备拿到市场上去卖的牛奶,所以用定冠词来表示特指。故milk前加the。
8.考查介词。句意：女孩什么也没带就回去了。go back为固定搭配，表示“回去”,此处back是副词。故去掉to。
9.考查形容词。句意：她感到很悲伤。feel是感官类系动词,后面常跟形容词作表语。故sadly改为sad。
10.考查语态。句意：妈妈安慰她说:“孩子，不要过早地打如意算盘。”。hatch意为“孵化”和小鸡之间是被动关系,所以这里用过去分词形式构成被动语态。故hatching改为hatched。

The researchers conducted six studies which assessed how people presented themselves and how people viewed strangers. People who chose to wear higher status items tended to get a negative response, but people wanted to be friends with people who preferred lower status symbols.
The study took the role of the luxury item to see if it was possible that the expensive item itself played a part in people's reactions. The definition of a status symbol changed based on a person's socioeconomic status, but the same effect of keeping off potential friends was seen regardless of social position.
"At a social level, we may be wasting billions of dollars on expensive status symbols that finally keep others from wanting to associate with us, "says Kimberlee Weaver Livnat at the University of Haifa. She says, "And to the extent that close friendships are important to well-being, we may be unintentionally hurting ourselves.”
However, Patricia Chen of the National University of Singapore said this does not necessarily mean status symbols are a bad thing. She says, "Our findings right now only apply to the formation of new friendships, Status symbols may be beneficial at other times and in other settings, such as when trying to establish new business contacts.”
8. What does the underlined word "flaunt" in paragraph I mean?

【点睛】词义猜测题猜词技巧
阅读理解的测试中经常有猜测词、短语、习语意义的题目，这些词、短语、习语要么是生词，要么是熟词新义，单靠平时积累是不够的，还要掌握一定的做题技巧。总结如下：
(1)根据构词法(转化、合成、派生)进行判断
(2) 根据文中的定义、解释猜生词 ；利用事例或解释猜生词；利用重复解释的信息猜生词
(3)根据上下文的指代关系进行选择：文章中的代词it，that，he，him或them可以指上文提到的人或物，其中it和that还可以指一件事。
(4)根据转折或对比关系进行判断：根据上下句连接词，如but，however，otherwise等就可以看到前后句在意义上的差别，从而依据某一句的含义，来确定另一句的含义。
(5)根据因果关系进行判断：俗话说，“有因必有果，有果必有因”。根据原因可以预测结果，根据结果也可以找出原因。
(6)根据同位关系进行判断：阅读中有时出现新词、难词，后面就跟着一个同位语，对前面的词进行解释，有时这种解释也用连词“or”连接。例如：
(7)利用标点符号和提示词猜测词义。分号（；）还可以表示转折、对比或不相干的意义。破折号表示解释说明。
如第一小题，根据下文Scientists prove that expensive status symbols make you look less socially attractive.（科学家证明，昂贵的身份象征会让你在社交上显得不那么有吸引力。）可知昂贵的身份标志性的物品不利于交友,而喜欢炫耀的人可能会没有朋友。故可知划线部分单词意思为“炫耀”。故选A。

About one million adults in the USA need someone to help them eat. Researchers at the University of Washington are working on a robotic system that can help make it easier. After identifying different food on a plate, the robot can decide how to use a fork to pick up and deliver the desired bite to a person s mouth.
“Being dependent on a caregiver to feed every bite every day takes away a person's sense of independence, "said the researcher. “Our goal with this project is to give people a bit more control over their lives the idea was to develop a feeding system that would be attached to wheelchairs and feed people whatever they wanted to eat.
“When we started the project, we realized there are so many ways that people can eat a piece of food depending on its size, shape or consistency(坚实度)," said the researcher, “So we set up an experiment to see how humans eat common foods.”
The researchers arranged plates with about a dozen different kinds of food, ranging in consistency from hard carrots to soft bananas, Then the team gave volunteers a fork and asked them to pick up different pieces of food and feed them to a model. The fork contained a sensor to measure how much force people used when they picked up food.
To design a feeding strategy that changes based on the food item, the researchers combined two different algorithms (算法).First they used an object-detection algorithm called Retina Net, which scans the plate, identifies the types of food on it and places a frame around each item. Then they developed SPNet, an algorithm that examines the type of food in a specific frame and tells the robot the best way to pick up the food.
The team is currently working with the Taskar Center for Accessible Technology to get advice from caregivers and patients on how to improve the system to meet people's need.
12. Why do the researchers work on the robotic system?
A. To help old people live a normal life.
B. To help people improve their health.
C. To release people from heavy housework.
D. To make some people more independent.
13. How does the robotic system work?
A. By picking up some soft food. B. By picking out food on the wheelchair.
C. By working with some nurses. D. By observing and delivering food.
14. What can be inferred about the robotic system?
A. It needs further research. B. It has come onto the market.
C. It is suitable for any disabled person. D. It has won people's great concern.
15. What may be the best title for the text?
A. The process of inventing a robotic system.
B. A new way to help those who don't like eating.
C. Robotic feeders for humans are coming into being.
D. Caregivers are going to lose their jobs in the future.
【答案】12. D 13. D 14. A 15. C

【点睛】主旨大意题的做题技巧。
1) 主旨大意题属于归纳概括题。如有标题，标题中蕴含的信息往往是关键信息。
2) 找准文章的主题句是关键。“主题句定位法”是一种行之有效的方法。在答题时，我们可以：读首句抓大意；读尾句抓大意；读首尾段抓大意。
3.) 无明显主题句时高频信息词，任一篇文章都是围绕某个主题展开的，因此，有的文章中最明显的特点之一是有一个反复出现的中心词，即高频词，也叫做主题词。抓住了它，便容易抓住文章的中心。
如第四小题，根据第一段About one million adults in the USA need someone to help them eat. Researchers at the University of Washington are working on a robotic system that can help make it easier.（美国大约有100万成年人需要有人帮助他们吃饭。华盛顿大学的研究人员正在研究一种机器人系统，它可以帮助简化这一过程。）以及文章主要内容可知本文主要介绍了一款可以喂人吃饭的机器人系统正在研发中一事。故选C。

【分析】
这是一篇记叙文。记叙了美国墨西哥州的历史由来。
【41题详解】
考查连词。句意：专家们认为，在最后一个冰河时代，他们从现在的俄罗斯跨越一座大陆桥——白令海峡迁徙过来。本句为宾语从句，从句中缺少主语，并代指“地方”。故填what。
【42题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意同上。call和 bridge在逻辑上构成了动宾关系,因此用过去分词形式来充当后置定语。故填called。
【43题详解】
考查副词。句意：数千年后，包括阿帕奇族、祖尼族、纳瓦霍族和普韦布洛族在内的美洲土著部落居住在这片土地上。late作副词用时,意为“晚,最近”,而 later作副词用时,意为“后来,以后”。根据上下文,可知用 later表示“以后”符合文义。故填later。
【44题详解】
考查名词。句意：1540年，西班牙探险家弗朗西斯科·巴斯克斯·德·科罗纳多(Francisco Vazquez de Coronado)来到这里，寻找传说中存在于美洲的黄金城市。Francisco Vazquez de Coronado是个人名,充当前词的同位语。故可知设空处应该填名词explorer符合要求。
【45题详解】
考查定语从句。句意同上。本句为定语从句修饰先行词gold，且在从句中做主语,指物故用that或 which引导。
【46题详解】
考查介词。句意：1821年，墨西哥宣布脱离西班牙独立，该地区成为墨西哥的一部分。固定短语independence from“独立自主；独立”。故填from。
【47题详解】
考查动词时态语态。句意：1912年，它被宣布为美国第47个州。declare后面可以跟双宾语连用,句意为“在1912年,新墨西哥州被宣布成为美国的第47个州”,由此可知此处应该用一般过去时的被动语态。故填was declared。
【48题详解】
考查形容词。句意：当西班牙人开始探索这一地区时，他们希望能找到和他们早些时候在墨西哥发现的一样有价值的土地。固定结构“as+形容词原形+as”表示“和……一样”，故填value的形容词形式valuable。
【49题详解】
考查动词时态。句意：所以他们把这个地区命名为新墨西哥。本句是在回顾新墨西哥州州名的由来,所以谓语动词用一般过去时。故填named。
【50题详解】
考查名词的数。句意：从高山到森林和沙漠，这个州有着美丽的风景。mountain是可数名词,再根据后文的“ forests and deserts”可知应用复数形式mountains。
【点睛】名词性从句关键在于三点：一、找准从句在主句中充当的成分即分出是名词性从句的主语句、宾语从句、表语从句还是同位语从句。二、连接词从句中充当的成分（主、宾、定或状语或不做任何成分）三、弄清楚每个连接词的意义。此外还要注意，近年来高考对于名词性从句的考查多从名词性从句的语序和连接词的用法区别上考查。如第一小题，本句为宾语从句，从句中缺少主语，并代指“地方”。故填what。

I read a story about a girl last week. The girl carried a pot of milk in her head to the market. Walked along the street, she began calculating what she would buy before she sold the milk. She said to her, "I'll buy a new dress, and when I go to the ball, all the young man will lance with me." When she spoke, she shakes her head happily. The pot immediately fell onto the ground, and milk was spilled(洒出) The girl went to back without anything. She felt very sadly. Her mother comforted her and said, “My child, don't count your chickens before they are hatching.”

【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇记叙文。讲述了一个女孩过早打如意算盘结果弄洒了头上的牛奶的故事。
【详解】1.考查介词。句意：这个女孩头上顶着一壶牛奶去市场。此处表示“在头上”介词应用on。故in改为on。
2.考查非谓语动词。句意：走在街上，她开始计算她卖完牛奶后要买什么。句子的主语是she与walk构成了逻辑上的主动关系,所以用现在分词作伴随状语。故Walked改为Walking。
3.考查连词。句意同上。根据句意可知表示“在……之后”，应用 after引导时间状语从句。故before改为after。
4.考查代词。句意：她想:“我要买件新衣服去参加舞会，所有的年轻小伙子都会跟我一起跳舞的。”当句子的主语和宾语是同一人的时候,宾语应该用反身代词。故her改为herself。
5.考查名词单复数。句意同上。根据上文中的all,可知舞会上的男性应该不止一个,所以man用复数。故man改为men。
6.考查时态。句意：她说话时高兴地摇摇头。文章是在讲一个发生在过去的故事,所以用一般过去时来表述。故shakes改为shook。
7.考查冠词。句意同上。女孩洒在地上的牛奶就是她准备拿到市场上去卖的牛奶,所以用定冠词来表示特指。故milk前加the。
8.考查介词。句意：女孩什么也没带就回去了。go back为固定搭配，表示“回去”,此处back是副词。故去掉to。
9.考查形容词。句意：她感到很悲伤。feel是感官类系动词,后面常跟形容词作表语。故sadly改为sad。
10.考查语态。句意：妈妈安慰她说:“孩子，不要过早地打如意算盘。”。hatch意为“孵化”和小鸡之间是被动关系,所以这里用过去分词形式构成被动语态。故hatching改为hatched。
