第一节 (共 20小题;每小题2分，满分 40分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D 四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
As a child, I was proud of my southern origin. My own voice reflected my family’s past and present-part northern Mississippi, part Tennessee, all southern. There was no sound I loved more than my grandmother’s accent: thick, sweet, warm.
While growing up, I began to realize outside of our region, southerners were often dismissed as uncultured and ignorant. I was ready to leave behind my tiny town in West Tennessee, starting a new life and jumping at big chances in some far-off cities. In that embarrassing space between “teen” and “adult”, my accent was a symbol of everything I thought I hated about my life in the rural South. I feared it would disqualify me from being a noted magazine writer. I would have to talk less “country”. So I killed a piece of myself. I’m ashamed of it, but I’m more ashamed that I tried to kill that part of someone else-change Emily’s accent.
I met Emily in college. She was determined to work for the student newspaper, which was where I spent most of my waking hours, and we became friends. She, unlike me, accepted her roots. Early in our friendship, her mother asked where I was from, assuming it was somewhere up north. Then I felt my efforts paid off and even wanted to ignore the mistake.
Emily is two years younger and she cared about my opinion. I advised her to be more like me and hide her signature Manchester accent. I stressed that throughout our college years, often by making fun of her vowel (元音) sounds. I told myself I was helping her achieve her dream of working as a reporter. Now, I see that it was actually about justifying my hiding part of myself.
Grandma Carolyn used to tell me, “Girl, don’t forget where you come from.” Now I truly understand that. Many things have faded from memory, but this sticks in my mind with uncomfortable clarity. Now that I am grown and have left the South, it’s important to me.
1. What made the author want to leave her hometown?
A. Appeal of convenience in cities.
B. Her dream of becoming a writer.
C. Outside prejudice against southerners.
D. Her desire for the northern accent.
2. How did the author feel about the mistake of Emily’s mother?
A. Upset. B. Pleased. C. Ashamed. D. Surprised.
3. Why on earth did the author try to change Emily’s accent?
A. To prove herself right. B. To help Emily be a reporter.
C. To make herself influential. D. To protect Emily’s self-dignity.
4. What message does the text want to convey?
A. Stay true to your roots. B. Never do things by halves.
C. Hold on to your dreams. D. Never judge a person by his accent.
【答案】1. C 2. B 3. A 4. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述作者因为别人的偏见以及追求更好的生活改变自己的口音，但后来才意识到这样做抹杀了自己身份的一部分，也明白了要坚守本根。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的“While growing up, I began to realize outside of our region, southerners were often dismissed as uncultured and ignorant. I was ready to leave behind my tiny town in West Tennessee, starting a new life and jumping at big chances in some far-off cities.(在成长过程中，我开始意识到，在我们的地区之外，南方人经常被认为是没有文化和无知的。我准备离开我在西田纳西州的小镇，开始新的生活，并在一些遥远的城市抓住大好机会)”可知，作者决定离开南部的家乡是因为其他人认为南方人没文化、无知，即外部对南方人的偏见。故选C。
【2题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段的“Early in our friendship, her mother asked where I was from, assuming it was somewhere up north. Then I felt my efforts paid off and even wanted to ignore the mistake.(在我们的友谊之初，她妈妈问我来自哪里，以为是北方的某个地方。然后我觉得我的努力得到了回报，甚至想忽略这个错误)”推知，当被Emily的妈妈误会来自北方时，作者是非常开心的。故选B。
【3题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段的“I feared it would disqualify me from being a noted magazine writer. I would have to talk less “country”. So I killed a piece of myself. (我担心这会使我失去成为著名杂志作家的资格。我就得少说些“乡村”了。所以我抹杀了自己身份的一部分)”，第三段的“She was determined to work for the student newspaper, which was where I spent most of my waking hours(她决心为校报工作，而我醒着的大部分时间都在那里度过的)”以及倒数第二段的“I advised her to be more like me and hide her signature Manchester accent. I stressed that throughout our college years, often by making fun of her vowel (元音) sounds. I told myself I was helping her achieve her dream of working as a reporter. (我建议她更像我，隐藏她标志性的曼彻斯特口音。在我们的大学生活中，我经常通过取笑她的元音来强调这一点。我告诉自己，我是在帮她实现当记者的梦想)”可知，作者通过改变自己的口音获得了在校报工作的机会。由此推知，作者努力改变Emily的口音是为了证明自己是对的，即改变南方口音就有可能获得好工作。故选A。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文，并结合第二段的“I’m ashamed of it, but I’m more ashamed that I tried to kill that part of someone else-change Emily’s accent.(我很惭愧，但我更惭愧的是我试图抹杀别人的那部分——改变艾米丽的口音)”和最后一段“Grandma Carolyn used to tell me, “Girl, don’t forget where you come from.” Now I truly understand that. Many things have faded from memory, but this sticks in my mind with uncomfortable clarity. (卡罗琳奶奶过去常对我说：“女孩，别忘了你来自哪里。”现在我真的明白了。许多事情已经从记忆中消失了，但这件事却以令人不安的清晰印象留在了我的脑海中)”可知，文章想要传达的信息是：坚守本根。故选A。
B
When I win at my favourite games, my opponents tend to say: ‘OH, you’re so competitive!’ But when I lose, they smile good-naturedly and say: ‘Bad luck! Good game!’
This suggests that accurate sporting expressions should go something like this:
I am sporty.
You are competitive.
They can’t bear to lose.
Or:
I gave it a go.
You did your best.
He tried desperately hard.
I’m not saying I don’t have a competitive personality. We all do. On walks, I like to be out in front. In traffic jams, I find myself focusing on cars in other lanes, and fret if they edge ahead of me. I tense up while waiting for trains, determined to be first aboard. The other day, I was one of the first to board a train, grabbing a perfect spot in first class. Yes, I had won! Just halfway, I went to get a free drink for a first-class seat from the buffet. But I had left my ticket on my table. I worked out that, if I moved very swiftly, I could nip (快走) through two carriages, and nip back without anyone taking my place at the front of the queue.
So I rushed back, picking up my ticket, and turned back. I was at the beginning of the second carriage, when, to my horror, I noticed, another figure, roughly my size, shooting towards the buffet from the other direction.
Desperate to arrive before he did, I started walking faster. But at exactly the same moment, he started walking faster, too. Trying to retain my dignity, I broke into a running. Whatever happened, I was determined to win! But, annoyingly, at the same time as I sped up, so did he. The race was on.
Finally, in my rush, I knocked into a suitcase and stumbled slightly. Still with my eyes on my challenger, I noticed that-strange but true-exactly the same thing had happened to him.
It was only as we both lifted ourselves up in exactly the same way that I realised that, throughout the race, I had been looking at a reflection of myself in the sliding door!
My competitor for first place in the buffet queue was...me.
5. Which sporting expression can replace “Bad luck! Good game!” in paragraph 1?
A. I gave it a go. B. You did your best.
C. You are competitive. D. He tried desperately hard.
6. What does the underlined word “fret” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Get anxious. B. Become relaxed. C. Feel disappointed. D. Remain excited.
7. What can we learn about the author?
A. He never fails to beat anyone in his life.
B. He has a gift for games and competitions.
C. He is sporty but often aggressive to others.
D. He is highly competitive and desperate to win.
8. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Sad competitor? I can surely beat myself
B. Bad loser? No, but I can be a first-class fool
C. Competitiveness works? Not in my case
D. More haste? It will only result in less speed
【答案】5. B 6. A 7. D 8. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者介绍了自己因过于在乎竞争，时刻想要超越别人而在一次火车途中，为了获得免费饮料而误以为车厢反射的自己的影子是竞争对手的一次荒诞的经历。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“When I win at my favourite games, my opponents tend to say: ‘OH, you’re so competitive!’ But when I lose, they smile good-naturedly and say: ‘Bad luck! Good game!’(当我在最喜欢的比赛中获胜时，我的对手往往会说：‘哦，你太好胜了！’但当我输了的时候，他们和蔼地微笑着说：‘运气不好！玩得好！”)”可知，对手的意思是“你玩的不错，但是运气较差，所以输了”。“Good game!”可以被“You did your best.(你尽力了)”替换。故选 B 。
【6题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段中“On walks, I like to be out in front.(散步时，我喜欢走在前面)”以及“I tense up while waiting for trains, determined to be first aboard.(等火车时我紧张起来，决心第一个上车)”可推知，作者一直很好胜，在看到其他车往前走时，自己会比较着急。由此推知，划线词fret和A 选项Get anxious(变得焦虑)意思相近。故选A项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“I’m not saying I don’t have a competitive personality. We all do. On walks, I like to be out in front. In traffic jams, I find myself focusing on cars in other lanes, and fret if they edge ahead of me. I tense up while waiting for trains, determined to be first aboard. (我不是说我没有好胜的性格。我们都有。散步时，我喜欢走在前面。在交通堵塞的时候，我发现自己会把注意力集中在其他车道的汽车上，如果它们挤到我前面，我就会烦恼。等火车时我紧张起来，决心第一个上车)”以及第五段“Whatever happened, I was determined to win! But, annoyingly, at the same time as I sped up, so did he. The race was on.(无论发生什么，我都决心要赢！但是，烦人的是，在我加快速度的同时，他也加快了速度。比赛开始了)”可推知，作者好胜心很强，急于求胜。故选D项。
【8题详解】
主旨大意题。从全文概括以及最后一段“My competitor for first place in the buffet queue was…me.(我在自助餐队伍中争夺第一名的对手是……我)”可知，本文是讲述一次自己为了获得免费饮料而误以为车厢反射的自己的影子是竞争对手的一次荒诞的经历。由此可知，B项“Bad loser? No, but I can be a first-class fool(输不起的人吗？不，但我可以做一个一流的傻瓜)”是本文最好的标题。故选B。
C
Stereotypes (刻板印象) are widely held but very general, simplified opinions about other people. Many of us start to use stereotypes at school — the cool kids or the hot kids — we know all the different ones by heart.
Looks, clothes, personal traits (特征) and interests are all aspects which, on the surface of it, make us different from our contemporaries. Students pounce on these in order to categorise others. “When you’re a social animal, you need to understand who is a member of your pack, and who is a member of a different pack,” says psychology professor, John Dovidio.
A girl dressed all in black may seem a bit depressed. But perhaps, deep down inside, she just likes black and is actually cheerful. She has the same interests as you — (the “cool kid”) — but she just dresses differently. The problem of typecasting is that it involves using labels which are merely shells (外表) containing assumptions. It makes one wonder why people see only a narrow view of a complicated human being.
According to Dovidio, even if we think we don’t stereotype others, we do. “We categorise immediately and without thinking,” says Dovidio. “And we stereotype others not just on their appearance, how they dress or act, but — wrongly — on their race and sex too.”
Student stereotypes may have special meanings, as teens are in the process of forming their own identity and figuring out who they feel most comfortable with. To some extent, stereotyping offers a sense of order, direction and connection to the close friends they make over time. But it’s too simple to make assumptions that “they” — teenagers in other groups — are alike or different from “us”. It’s easy to throw a group of people into a bucket (水桶) and judge them as a whole; it’s much more difficult to look at each person as an individual. On the other hand, Jim, another high school student, says “by labelling people we’re actually highlighting similarities not differences. If we didn’t stereotype, it would make many things today impossible. Think of marketing studies focused on specific audiences, or clubs for people with similar interests or hobbies.”
9. Which can best replace the underlined part “pounce on” in paragraph two?
A. Put up with. B. Make fun of.
C. Take pride in. D. Catch hold of.
10. What does the author want to suggest by mentioning the girl in black?
A. Don’t distinguish yourself from others.
B. Don’t make simple things complicated.
C. Don’t identify others by their appearance.
D. Don’t label others according to their personal traits.
11. What do Dovidio’s words in paragraph four tell us?
A. We cannot avoid being stereotyped.
B. We may correctly recognise others’ sex.
C. We cannot help the way we react to others.
D. We may make wrong judgements about ourselves.
12. Which word best describes Jim’s attitude to stereotypes?
A. Positive. B. Uninterested. C. Uncertain. D. Critical.
【答案】9. D 10. C 11. C 12. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章阐述了刻板印象以及针对刻板印象的不同观点。
【9题详解】
短语猜测题。根据第二段第一、二句“Looks, clothes, personal traits (特征) and interests are all aspects which, on the surface of it, make us different from our contemporaries. Students pounce on these in order to categorise others.(外表、衣服、个人特征和兴趣都是表面上使我们与同时代人不同的方面。学生们pounce on这些来对其他人进行分类。)”可知划线词pounce on后的these指代上文使我们与同时代人在表面上不同的特征“Looks, clothes, personal traits (特征) and interests”，学生们抓住这些表面上的特征对其他人进行分类，由此可知，句中“pounce on”意思为“抓住”，可以替换为catch hold of。故选D。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“A girl dressed all in black may seem a bit depressed. But perhaps, deep down inside, she just likes black and is actually cheerful. She has the same interests as you — (the ‘cool kid’) — but she just dresses differently. (一个穿一身黑的女孩可能看起来有点沮丧。但也许，在内心深处，她只是喜欢黑色，实际上是开朗的。她和你——（那个‘酷孩子’）——有相同的兴趣爱好，只是穿着不同而已。)”可知，作者在文中提到穿一身黑的女孩，想要传达的含义是不能光凭外表来确定一个人的特征个性。故选C。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“‘We categorise immediately and without thinking,’ says Dovidio. ‘And we stereotype others not just on their appearance, how they dress or act, but — wrongly — on their race and sex too.’(‘我们会不假思索地立即进行分类。’Dovidio说：‘我们不仅在外表、穿着和行为上对他人抱有刻板印象，而且——错误地——在种族和性别上也抱有刻板印象。’)”可知人们会不假思索地立即对他人按照刻板印象进行分类，由此可知，人们对他人进行刻板印象归类是一种下意识的举动，人们无法控制自己对他人的反应。故选C。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“On the other hand, Jim, another high school student, says ‘by labelling people we’re actually highlighting similarities not differences. If we didn’t stereotype, it would make many things today impossible. Think of marketing studies focused on specific audiences, or clubs for people with similar interests or hobbies.’(另一方面，另一名高中生Jim说：‘通过给人贴标签，我们实际上是在强调相似之处，而不是不同之处。如果我们没有刻板印象，这将使今天的许多事情变得不可能。想想针对特定受众的营销研究，或者针对具有相似兴趣或爱好的人的俱乐部。’)”可知，Jim认为通过给人群贴标签可以找到群体的相似性，如果没有刻板印象的话，针对特定受众的市场调查、俱乐部等就无法实现。由此可知，Jim对刻板印象的态度是积极的。故选A。
D
It was a method favoured by the inventor Thomas Edison and the artist Salvador Dali. Waking from a nap exactly at the point before deep sleep in an effort to inspire creativity.
Edison held a metal ball in his hand so that if he nodded off he would drop it and the sound would wake him. For Dali, it was a key landing on a plate. Now scientists have found that they might have been onto something.
Researchers at the Paris Brain Institute studied people’s ability to find a hidden rule in a maths puzzle. Identifying the trick would make solving the problem far simpler but to do so required thinking creatively. The scientists found that participants who had been woken just before falling into a deep sleep, using a technique like that used by Edison and Dali, were more likely to find the shortcut.
This “twilight zone” is known as non-rapid eye movement sleep stage 1, or N1. Scientists described it like an exaggerated form of mind-wandering, where dream-like thoughts fill the mind. It is thought that as people start to disengage (脱离) from their environment they can “freely watch their minds wander, while maintaining their ability to identify creative sparks (火花)”.
For the study 103 people were given a maths problem to solve. To reach the final answer they had to apply the rules step by step but, unknown to them, a “hidden rule” would allow them to bypass most of the steps and get to the solution much more quickly. The results showed that 83 percent of those in the N1 group had found the shortcut, compared with 31 percent in the group who were awake and 14 percent of those in a deep sleep.
Researchers conclude that the brain activity common to the twilight zone between sleep and wakefulness set off creative sparks. “Although the neural mechanisms (神经机制) involved are not yet known, our findings suggest that there is a creative sweet spot within the twilight zone,” said Dr Thomas Andrillon, co-author of the study.
13. Why did the author mention “a metal ball” and “a key” in Paragraph 2?
A. To clarify a method. B. To explain a theory.
C. To present a concept. D. To make a comparison.
14. What can we learn about “the twilight zone” from the text?
A. It prevents your mind from wandering.
B. It determines what your dreams will be like.
C. It is known as rapid eye movement sleep stage.
D. It is a state of being half asleep and half awake.
15. What does “the shortcut” in Paragraph 5 refer to?
A. The maths problem. B. The final answer.
C. The hidden rule. D. The added step.
16. What attitude may Dr Thomas Andrillon hold to the technique used by Edison and Dali?
A. Doubtful. B. Critical.
C. Indifferent. D. Favorable.
【答案】13. A 14. D 15. C 16. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍来自爱迪生和达利的启示：临睡状态可激发创造力。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段提到了爱迪生和达利偏爱的一个激发创造力的方法“Waking from a nap exactly at the point before deep sleep in an effort to inspire creativity.(在深度睡眠前从午睡中醒来，以激发创造力)”和第二段“Edison held a metal ball in his hand so that if he nodded off he would drop it and the sound would wake him. For Dali, it was a key landing on a plate.(爱迪生手里拿着金属球为了当他低头时，金属球掉在地上的声音唤醒他。对于达利来说，他拿的是掉在盘子的钥匙)”可知，通过“金属球”和“钥匙”更直观地介绍了这种方法的操作方式，故选A。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。由最后一段第一句话“…the twilight zone between sleep and wakefulness…”可知“the twilight zone”为半睡半醒状态。故选D。
【15题详解】
词义猜测题。由上文“a “hidden rule” would allow them to bypass most of the steps and get to the solution much more quickly.”可知， “隐藏规则”可使他们绕过大多数步骤，更快地找到答案。再结合划线单词所在句“The results showed that 83 percent of those in the N1 group had found the shortcut(结果显示，在N1组中，83%的人找到了the shortcut)”可知，此处划线单词the shortcut指代前文的the hidden rule“隐藏规则”。 故选C。
【16题详解】
推理判断题。最后一段“Researchers conclude that the brain activity common to the twilight zone between sleep and wakefulness set off creative sparks.（研究人员得出结论，睡眠和清醒之间的模糊地带的大脑活动会激发创造力的火花）”可知，研究结果证实临睡状态可激发创造力火花，同时博士的话“our findings suggest that there is a creative sweet spot within the twilight zone（我们的发现表明临睡状态确实存在创造力的最有效点）”推知，博士对爱迪生和达利使用的技术的态度是肯定的。故选D。

Across India, summers can be extreme. Temperatures outdoors can soar to 124°F (51℃), high enough to melt the surface of the streets.
Millions of urban lower-income families live in tiny, one-room houses crammed together. Such shacks have tin and asbestos (石棉的) roofs. These materials absorb the sun’s heat, rather than reflect it back into the atmosphere. Additionally, only a few trees grow between the jam-packed houses. Making matters worse is the residents’ poverty. Most households cannot afford to run air conditioners and coolers. All these factors make the inside of these tiny houses extremely hot. Under such conditions, residents find it difficult to live, let alone work. Productivity declines.
Social workers and scientists have realized that the quickest way to cool such houses is to change their roofs. That’s because the roof receives the most direct sunlight. Climate researchers came up with many strategies to produce cool roofs. One easy way was with paint. Light-colored surfaces reflect more heat than darker ones, so roofs painted white would be cooler than those painted in any other color. This wasn’t a new idea. In fact, Indians have traditionally whitewashed homes with chuna. The annual Monsoon rains, though, wash the chuna away. Climate experts hoped that the white paints would last longer. Research findings revealed that painting alone could bring down the heat by up to 9℉(5℃).
Problems persist, though. While the paint is fairly cheap, poor people cannot afford it without financial help. In addition, the sunlight bouncing off white-topped roofs makes them too bright to look at. Residents usually use the roofs for drying wet clothes and vegetables, like chilies. But the glare from the whitened surfaces makes it tough for them to do these tasks. A third problem is that white-roofedbuildings reflect the sun’s rays throughout the year. Ironically, this makes roofs too cool in regions where winters get extremely cold. And keeping warm is costly, too.
Despite these drawbacks, many households are supporters of cool roof initiatives. For most, the benefits of the roofs outweigh their flaws. Indeed, the white paint has given their lives a newlight.
17. What is a factor contributing to Indian houses’ extreme heat?
A. The building materials of the roofs. B. Residents’ lack of green awareness.
C. The influence of the global economy. D. There being no trees in the community.
18. Why is white paint a good choice according to paragraph 3?
A. It is effective. B. It is innovative. C. It is replaceable. D. It is long-lasting.
19. What problem comes with white paint roofs?
A. Their brightness will lead to color blindness.
B. The paint will become too expensive to afford.
C. It will be inconvenient to dry stuff on the roofs.
D. Residents’ living cost will be higher in summer.
20. What is the text mainly about?
A. Light-colored paints. B. A house-cooling strategy.
C. White-roofed buildings. D. An energy-saving initiative.
【答案】17. A 18. A 19. C 20. B

【导语】本文为说明文。文章主要介绍了用白油漆涂屋顶来降温的方法。
【17题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的“Such shacks have tin and asbestos (石棉的) roofs. These materials absorb the sun’s heat, rather than reflect it back into the atmosphere. Additionally, only a few trees grow between the jam-packed houses. Making matters worse is the residents’ poverty. Most households cannot afford to run air conditioners and coolers. All these factors make the inside of these tiny houses extremely hot. (这样的棚屋有锡和石棉屋顶。这些材料吸收太阳的热量，而不是将其反射回大气层。此外，只有几棵树生长在拥挤的房屋之间。更糟糕的是当地居民的贫困。大多数家庭买不起空调和冷却器。所有这些因素使这些小房子的内部非常热)”并结合选项可知，屋顶的建筑材料是导致印度房屋过热的因素之一。故选A。
【18题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的“One easy way was with paint. Light-colored surfaces reflect more heat than darker ones, so roofs painted white would be cooler than those painted in any other color．(最简单最快速的一个降温方法是给屋顶涂白油漆。浅色表面比深色表面反射更多的热量，所以涂成白色的屋顶会比其他颜色的屋顶更凉爽)”可知，白油漆是一个好的选择是因为能反射更多的热量，更有效。故选A。
【19题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段的“Problems persist, though. While the paint is fairly cheap, poor people cannot afford it without financial help. In addition, the sunlight bouncing off white-topped roofs makes them too bright to look at. Residents usually use the roofs for drying wet clothes and vegetables, like chilies. But the glare from the whitened surfaces makes it tough for them to do these tasks. (不过，问题依然存在。虽然油漆相当便宜，但如果没有经济援助，穷人买不起。此外，阳光从白色屋顶上反射回来，使它们太亮了，让人看不见。居民们通常用屋顶来晾晒湿衣服和蔬菜，比如辣椒。但白化表面的强光让它们很难完成这些任务)”可知，从白色屋顶上反射的光太亮，使人睁不开眼，这使得在屋顶上晾干东西很不方便。故选C。
【20题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，并结合第三段的“Climate researchers came up with many strategies to produce cool roofs. One easy way was with paint. Light-colored surfaces reflect more heat than darker ones, so roofs painted white would be cooler than those painted in any other color.(气候研究人员想出了许多制造凉爽屋顶的策略。一个简单的方法是用颜料。浅色的表面比深色的表面反射更多的热量，所以刷成白色的屋顶比刷成其他颜色的屋顶更凉爽)”和最后一段“Despite these drawbacks, many households are supporters of cool roof initiatives. For most, the benefits of the roofs outweigh their flaws. Indeed, the white paint has given their lives a newlight.(尽管有这些缺点，许多家庭都是冷屋顶倡议的支持者。对大多数人来说，屋顶的好处大于缺点。事实上，白色的油漆给他们的生活带来了新的曙光)”可知，本文主要介绍了用白油漆涂屋顶来降温的策略。故选B。
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。
You may have seen them standing alone in a farmer’s field. With thin arms and a strange smile, they stand guard over the crops day and night. ____21____
Scarecrows have been around since at least the time of the ancient Egyptians. Back then, farmers covered wooden frames with nets to protect wheat fields. ____22____ Around 2500 BCE, the Greeks made the first human-like scarecrows. They added a face which was similar to that of the Greek god Priapus. ____23____ The Romans later copied this design and brought it to Europe.
Centuries after the Romans marched through Europe, people around the world were creating their own scarecrows. In Japan, scarecrows were shaped like people in raincoats and straw hats. In Germany, scarecrows were made to look like witches.
____24____ In the oldest book of Japanese literature, The Kojiki, a scarecrow named Kuebiko appears. Though he can’t walk, Kuebiko is a kind of all-knowing god. In the mid-19th century, writer Nathaniel Hawthorne brought scarecrows into literature with the short story “Feathertop.” In this tale, a witch who prays to the Devil brings a scarecrow to life.
Then there is the most famous scarecrow. His name is simply “Scarecrow,” and he appears in The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. In the children’s novel, Scarecrow joins Dorothy, Tin Man and the Cowardly Lion on an adventure to meet the wizard of the magical land of Oz. ____25____
Aside from these examples, scarecrows have featured in rock songs and as characters in comic books. On Halloween, they are brought out as scary decorations. Both practical and creepy, scarecrows continue to capture our imagination.
A. Scarecrows appear everywhere in the world.
B. We can never ignore the influence of stories about scarecrow.
C. They are scarecrows, whose job has gone unchanged for thousands of years.

G. Scarecrow has appeared in films and plays around the world since the release of the book.
【答案】21. C 22. D 23. E 24. F 25. G
【解析】
【导语】本篇为说明文。介绍了稻草人(scarecrow)的来历以及其形象在文学作品和其他文娱领域的应用。
【21题详解】
根据上文“You may have seen them standing alone in a farmer’s field. With thin arms and a strange smile, they stand guard over the crops day and night.(你可能见过它们独自站在农民的田地里。它们长着瘦弱的手臂，带着奇怪的微笑，日夜守护着庄稼)”并结合下文对稻草人的介绍推知，空处应承上启下，C项“They are scarecrows, whose job has gone unchanged for thousands of years.(它们是稻草人，它们的作用几千年来没有改变)”符合题意，既指出上文提到的就是稻草人，又引出下文对稻草人的介绍。故选C。
【22题详解】
上文“Scarecrows have been around since at least the time of the ancient Egyptians. Back then, farmers covered wooden frames with nets to protect wheat fields.(至少在古埃及时代，稻草人就已经出现了。当时，农民们用网覆盖木框来保护麦田)”介绍了农民用网盖住木架子来保护小麦，由此推知下文应该是在讲农民的其他做法。D项“They would hide in the wheat, and then jump out to scare birds into their nets.(他们会躲在麦子里，然后跳出来把鸟儿吓到网里)”符合题意，选项中的they指代上文的farmers 。故选D。
【23题详解】
根据上文“Around 2500 BCE, the Greeks made the first human-like scarecrows. They added a face which was similar to that of the Greek god Priapus.(大约在公元前2500年，希腊人制造了第一个人形稻草人。他们添加了一张与希腊神普里阿普斯相似的脸)”可知，希腊人制作的稻草人添加了与阿普斯相似的脸。由此推知，空处陈述这样做的目的是什么。E项“This was thought to be scary enough to keep birds away from their precious fields.(这被认为是足够可怕的，使鸟类远离他们宝贵的土地)”符合题意，选项中this指代上文“他们添加了一张与希腊神普里阿普斯相似的脸”这种做法。故选E。
【24题详解】
空处为本段主旨句。根据下文“In the oldest book of Japanese literature, The Kojiki, a scarecrow named Kuebiko appears. Though he can’t walk, Kuebiko is a kind of all-knowing god. In the mid-19th century, writer Nathaniel Hawthorne brought scarecrows into literature with the short story “Feathertop.” In this tale, a witch who prays to the Devil brings a scarecrow to life.(在日本最古老的文学作品《歌之木》中，出现了一个名叫“酷比子”的稻草人。虽然不能走路，但他是一个无所不知的神。19世纪中期，作家纳撒尼尔·霍桑以短篇小说Feathertop将稻草人引入文学。在这个故事中，一个女巫向魔鬼祈祷，使稻草人活了过来)”可知，本段介绍的是稻草人在文学作品中的运用。F项“Throughout the years, scarecrows have made many appearances in popular culture.(多年来，稻草人在流行文化中多次出现)”符合本段主旨。故选F。
【25题详解】
空处位于段末，应承接上文。根据上文“His name is simply “Scarecrow,” and he appears in The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. In the children’s novel, Scarecrow joins Dorothy, Tin Man and the Cowardly Lion on an adventure to meet the wizard of the magical land of Oz.(他的名字很简单，叫“稻草人”，他出现在《绿野仙踪》中。在这本儿童小说中，稻草人与多萝茜、铁皮人和胆小的狮子一起冒险，去遇到神奇的奥兹国的巫师)”可知，上文陈述了稻草人在《绿野仙踪》中的形象。由此推知，下文内容应与此相关。G项“Scarecrow has appeared in films and plays around the world since the release of the book.(自从这本书出版以来，稻草人已经出现在世界各地的电影和戏剧中)”符合题意，选项中的this book指代上文的提到的The Wonderful Wizard of Oz一书。故选G。

【42题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：对中国文化的第二印象往往是京剧，京剧脸谱现在几乎是中国的象征。分析句子可知，空处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词是Peking Opera，关系词在从句中作定语，和masks之间是所属关系，应用关系代词whose引导，故填whose。
【43题详解】

阅读下面短文， 在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
The wooded hills of New England hide a secret--they weren't always forested. Instead many were once covered with roads and farms.
This “lost” New England of the colonial era has started to emerge, thanks to archaeologists piercing the forests with their ____51____ (late) device called Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR).
LiDAR reveals farm walls, roads and homesteads hidden within Connecticut’s Pachaug State Forest. From villages ____52____ (sink) underwater to cities lost in the rise and fall of mill life, these ghost towns offer ____53____ unique look into the rich history of the past.
These archaeological features could not ____54____ (see) without the cutting-edge technology that bounces lasers off the ground ____55____ then generates precise pictures of surface features. Scientists using the same kind of technology have made new ____56____ (discover) while looking at Mayan cities, the plain of Stonehenge, and European palaces.
How did these farms become lost in the first place? ____57____ was documented, according to archaeologists, that there had once been extensive farming across New England. But with industrialization, people started to head west and abandoned the farms they once depended ____58____ . The forests eventually took over, covering the walls, roads, and homes until the recent findings.

【51题详解】
考查形容词的最高级。句意：多亏了考古学家们用他们最新的设备穿透森林——光探测和测距(LiDAR)，这个殖民时代失落的新英格兰地区开始出现了。设空处应为形容词修饰空后的名词device，根据空前的the，可知设空处为形容词最高级。故填latest。
【52题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：从被淹没在水下的村庄，到在磨坊生活的兴衰中迷失的城市，这些废弃的城镇提供了一个独特的视角来了解过去丰富的历史。设空处在句中作非谓语，和句子的逻辑主语之间是逻辑的被动关系，故应用动词的过去分词的形式。故填sunk。
【53题详解】
考查冠词。句意同上。设空处后为可数名词look，表泛指，应用不定冠词a。故填a。
【54题详解】
考查被动语态。句意：如果没有尖端技术，这些考古特征是不可能被看到的，这种技术将激光从地面反射回来，然后生成精确的地表特征图片。设空处在句中作谓语，和句子的主语these archaeological features之间是被动关系，空前为情态动词，故设空处应为含有情态动词的被动语态。故填be seen。
【55题详解】
考查连词。句意同上。结合句意，设空处后的“generates”和空前的“bounces”并列，应用and。故填and。
【56题详解】
考查名词。句意：科学家们使用同样的技术，在观察玛雅城市、巨石阵平原和欧洲宫殿时，有了新的发现。设空处前为形容词，形容词修饰名词，设空处应为名词的形式，因空前无冠词修饰，应用复数的形式。故填discoveries。
【57题详解】
考查代词。句意：据考古学家记载，新英格兰地区曾经有过大规模的农业活动。设空处在句中作形式主语，真正的主语为“that there had once been extensive farming across New England. （新英格兰地区曾经有大规模的农业。）”，位于句首，首字母需大写。 故填It。
【58题详解】
考查介词。句意：人们开始向西迁移，放弃了他们曾经赖以生存的农场。固定搭配depend on/upon依靠。故填on/upon。
【59题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：如今，森林承载着过去人类活动的深厚文化遗产，成为我们在文明发展过程中失去的东西的安静的纪念碑。设空处在句中作非谓语，和句子的逻辑主语the woodland之间是逻辑的主动关系。故填carrying。
【60题详解】
考查宾语从句。句意同上。设空处引导宾语从句且在句中作指物的宾语。故填what。

第二部分 阅读理解 (共两节，满分 50分)
第一节 (共 20小题;每小题2分，满分 40分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D 四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
As a child, I was proud of my southern origin. My own voice reflected my family’s past and present-part northern Mississippi, part Tennessee, all southern. There was no sound I loved more than my grandmother’s accent: thick, sweet, warm.
While growing up, I began to realize outside of our region, southerners were often dismissed as uncultured and ignorant. I was ready to leave behind my tiny town in West Tennessee, starting a new life and jumping at big chances in some far-off cities. In that embarrassing space between “teen” and “adult”, my accent was a symbol of everything I thought I hated about my life in the rural South. I feared it would disqualify me from being a noted magazine writer. I would have to talk less “country”. So I killed a piece of myself. I’m ashamed of it, but I’m more ashamed that I tried to kill that part of someone else-change Emily’s accent.
I met Emily in college. She was determined to work for the student newspaper, which was where I spent most of my waking hours, and we became friends. She, unlike me, accepted her roots. Early in our friendship, her mother asked where I was from, assuming it was somewhere up north. Then I felt my efforts paid off and even wanted to ignore the mistake.
Emily is two years younger and she cared about my opinion. I advised her to be more like me and hide her signature Manchester accent. I stressed that throughout our college years, often by making fun of her vowel (元音) sounds. I told myself I was helping her achieve her dream of working as a reporter. Now, I see that it was actually about justifying my hiding part of myself.
Grandma Carolyn used to tell me, “Girl, don’t forget where you come from.” Now I truly understand that. Many things have faded from memory, but this sticks in my mind with uncomfortable clarity. Now that I am grown and have left the South, it’s important to me.
1. What made the author want to leave her hometown?
A. Appeal of convenience in cities.
B. Her dream of becoming a writer.
C. Outside prejudice against southerners.
D. Her desire for the northern accent.
2. How did the author feel about the mistake of Emily’s mother?
A. Upset. B. Pleased. C. Ashamed. D. Surprised.
3. Why on earth did the author try to change Emily’s accent?
A. To prove herself right. B. To help Emily be a reporter.
C. To make herself influential. D. To protect Emily’s self-dignity.
4. What message does the text want to convey?
A. Stay true to your roots. B. Never do things by halves.
C. Hold on to your dreams. D. Never judge a person by his accent.

【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的“While growing up, I began to realize outside of our region, southerners were often dismissed as uncultured and ignorant. I was ready to leave behind my tiny town in West Tennessee, starting a new life and jumping at big chances in some far-off cities.(在成长过程中，我开始意识到，在我们的地区之外，南方人经常被认为是没有文化和无知的。我准备离开我在西田纳西州的小镇，开始新的生活，并在一些遥远的城市抓住大好机会)”可知，作者决定离开南部的家乡是因为其他人认为南方人没文化、无知，即外部对南方人的偏见。故选C。
【2题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段的“Early in our friendship, her mother asked where I was from, assuming it was somewhere up north. Then I felt my efforts paid off and even wanted to ignore the mistake.(在我们的友谊之初，她妈妈问我来自哪里，以为是北方的某个地方。然后我觉得我的努力得到了回报，甚至想忽略这个错误)”推知，当被Emily的妈妈误会来自北方时，作者是非常开心的。故选B。
【3题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段的“I feared it would disqualify me from being a noted magazine writer. I would have to talk less “country”. So I killed a piece of myself. (我担心这会使我失去成为著名杂志作家的资格。我就得少说些“乡村”了。所以我抹杀了自己身份的一部分)”，第三段的“She was determined to work for the student newspaper, which was where I spent most of my waking hours(她决心为校报工作，而我醒着的大部分时间都在那里度过的)”以及倒数第二段的“I advised her to be more like me and hide her signature Manchester accent. I stressed that throughout our college years, often by making fun of her vowel (元音) sounds. I told myself I was helping her achieve her dream of working as a reporter. (我建议她更像我，隐藏她标志性的曼彻斯特口音。在我们的大学生活中，我经常通过取笑她的元音来强调这一点。我告诉自己，我是在帮她实现当记者的梦想)”可知，作者通过改变自己的口音获得了在校报工作的机会。由此推知，作者努力改变Emily的口音是为了证明自己是对的，即改变南方口音就有可能获得好工作。故选A。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文，并结合第二段的“I’m ashamed of it, but I’m more ashamed that I tried to kill that part of someone else-change Emily’s accent.(我很惭愧，但我更惭愧的是我试图抹杀别人的那部分——改变艾米丽的口音)”和最后一段“Grandma Carolyn used to tell me, “Girl, don’t forget where you come from.” Now I truly understand that. Many things have faded from memory, but this sticks in my mind with uncomfortable clarity. (卡罗琳奶奶过去常对我说：“女孩，别忘了你来自哪里。”现在我真的明白了。许多事情已经从记忆中消失了，但这件事却以令人不安的清晰印象留在了我的脑海中)”可知，文章想要传达的信息是：坚守本根。故选A。
B
When I win at my favourite games, my opponents tend to say: ‘OH, you’re so competitive!’ But when I lose, they smile good-naturedly and say: ‘Bad luck! Good game!’
This suggests that accurate sporting expressions should go something like this:
I am sporty.
You are competitive.
They can’t bear to lose.
Or:
I gave it a go.
You did your best.
He tried desperately hard.
I’m not saying I don’t have a competitive personality. We all do. On walks, I like to be out in front. In traffic jams, I find myself focusing on cars in other lanes, and fret if they edge ahead of me. I tense up while waiting for trains, determined to be first aboard. The other day, I was one of the first to board a train, grabbing a perfect spot in first class. Yes, I had won! Just halfway, I went to get a free drink for a first-class seat from the buffet. But I had left my ticket on my table. I worked out that, if I moved very swiftly, I could nip (快走) through two carriages, and nip back without anyone taking my place at the front of the queue.
So I rushed back, picking up my ticket, and turned back. I was at the beginning of the second carriage, when, to my horror, I noticed, another figure, roughly my size, shooting towards the buffet from the other direction.
Desperate to arrive before he did, I started walking faster. But at exactly the same moment, he started walking faster, too. Trying to retain my dignity, I broke into a running. Whatever happened, I was determined to win! But, annoyingly, at the same time as I sped up, so did he. The race was on.
Finally, in my rush, I knocked into a suitcase and stumbled slightly. Still with my eyes on my challenger, I noticed that-strange but true-exactly the same thing had happened to him.
It was only as we both lifted ourselves up in exactly the same way that I realised that, throughout the race, I had been looking at a reflection of myself in the sliding door!
My competitor for first place in the buffet queue was...me.
5. Which sporting expression can replace “Bad luck! Good game!” in paragraph 1?
A. I gave it a go. B. You did your best.
C. You are competitive. D. He tried desperately hard.
6. What does the underlined word “fret” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Get anxious. B. Become relaxed. C. Feel disappointed. D. Remain excited.
7. What can we learn about the author?
A. He never fails to beat anyone in his life.
B. He has a gift for games and competitions.
C. He is sporty but often aggressive to others.
D. He is highly competitive and desperate to win.
8. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Sad competitor? I can surely beat myself
B. Bad loser? No, but I can be a first-class fool
C. Competitiveness works? Not in my case
D. More haste? It will only result in less speed
【答案】5. B 6. A 7. D 8. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者介绍了自己因过于在乎竞争，时刻想要超越别人而在一次火车途中，为了获得免费饮料而误以为车厢反射的自己的影子是竞争对手的一次荒诞的经历。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“When I win at my favourite games, my opponents tend to say: ‘OH, you’re so competitive!’ But when I lose, they smile good-naturedly and say: ‘Bad luck! Good game!’(当我在最喜欢的比赛中获胜时，我的对手往往会说：‘哦，你太好胜了！’但当我输了的时候，他们和蔼地微笑着说：‘运气不好！玩得好！”)”可知，对手的意思是“你玩的不错，但是运气较差，所以输了”。“Good game!”可以被“You did your best.(你尽力了)”替换。故选 B 。
【6题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段中“On walks, I like to be out in front.(散步时，我喜欢走在前面)”以及“I tense up while waiting for trains, determined to be first aboard.(等火车时我紧张起来，决心第一个上车)”可推知，作者一直很好胜，在看到其他车往前走时，自己会比较着急。由此推知，划线词fret和A 选项Get anxious(变得焦虑)意思相近。故选A项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“I’m not saying I don’t have a competitive personality. We all do. On walks, I like to be out in front. In traffic jams, I find myself focusing on cars in other lanes, and fret if they edge ahead of me. I tense up while waiting for trains, determined to be first aboard. (我不是说我没有好胜的性格。我们都有。散步时，我喜欢走在前面。在交通堵塞的时候，我发现自己会把注意力集中在其他车道的汽车上，如果它们挤到我前面，我就会烦恼。等火车时我紧张起来，决心第一个上车)”以及第五段“Whatever happened, I was determined to win! But, annoyingly, at the same time as I sped up, so did he. The race was on.(无论发生什么，我都决心要赢！但是，烦人的是，在我加快速度的同时，他也加快了速度。比赛开始了)”可推知，作者好胜心很强，急于求胜。故选D项。
【8题详解】
主旨大意题。从全文概括以及最后一段“My competitor for first place in the buffet queue was…me.(我在自助餐队伍中争夺第一名的对手是……我)”可知，本文是讲述一次自己为了获得免费饮料而误以为车厢反射的自己的影子是竞争对手的一次荒诞的经历。由此可知，B项“Bad loser? No, but I can be a first-class fool(输不起的人吗？不，但我可以做一个一流的傻瓜)”是本文最好的标题。故选B。
C
Stereotypes (刻板印象) are widely held but very general, simplified opinions about other people. Many of us start to use stereotypes at school — the cool kids or the hot kids — we know all the different ones by heart.
Looks, clothes, personal traits (特征) and interests are all aspects which, on the surface of it, make us different from our contemporaries. Students pounce on these in order to categorise others. “When you’re a social animal, you need to understand who is a member of your pack, and who is a member of a different pack,” says psychology professor, John Dovidio.
A girl dressed all in black may seem a bit depressed. But perhaps, deep down inside, she just likes black and is actually cheerful. She has the same interests as you — (the “cool kid”) — but she just dresses differently. The problem of typecasting is that it involves using labels which are merely shells (外表) containing assumptions. It makes one wonder why people see only a narrow view of a complicated human being.
According to Dovidio, even if we think we don’t stereotype others, we do. “We categorise immediately and without thinking,” says Dovidio. “And we stereotype others not just on their appearance, how they dress or act, but — wrongly — on their race and sex too.”
Student stereotypes may have special meanings, as teens are in the process of forming their own identity and figuring out who they feel most comfortable with. To some extent, stereotyping offers a sense of order, direction and connection to the close friends they make over time. But it’s too simple to make assumptions that “they” — teenagers in other groups — are alike or different from “us”. It’s easy to throw a group of people into a bucket (水桶) and judge them as a whole; it’s much more difficult to look at each person as an individual. On the other hand, Jim, another high school student, says “by labelling people we’re actually highlighting similarities not differences. If we didn’t stereotype, it would make many things today impossible. Think of marketing studies focused on specific audiences, or clubs for people with similar interests or hobbies.”
9. Which can best replace the underlined part “pounce on” in paragraph two?
A. Put up with. B. Make fun of.
C. Take pride in. D. Catch hold of.
10. What does the author want to suggest by mentioning the girl in black?
A. Don’t distinguish yourself from others.
B. Don’t make simple things complicated.
C. Don’t identify others by their appearance.
D. Don’t label others according to their personal traits.
11. What do Dovidio’s words in paragraph four tell us?
A. We cannot avoid being stereotyped.
B. We may correctly recognise others’ sex.
C. We cannot help the way we react to others.
D. We may make wrong judgements about ourselves.
12. Which word best describes Jim’s attitude to stereotypes?
A. Positive. B. Uninterested. C. Uncertain. D. Critical.
【答案】9. D 10. C 11. C 12. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章阐述了刻板印象以及针对刻板印象的不同观点。
【9题详解】
短语猜测题。根据第二段第一、二句“Looks, clothes, personal traits (特征) and interests are all aspects which, on the surface of it, make us different from our contemporaries. Students pounce on these in order to categorise others.(外表、衣服、个人特征和兴趣都是表面上使我们与同时代人不同的方面。学生们pounce on这些来对其他人进行分类。)”可知划线词pounce on后的these指代上文使我们与同时代人在表面上不同的特征“Looks, clothes, personal traits (特征) and interests”，学生们抓住这些表面上的特征对其他人进行分类，由此可知，句中“pounce on”意思为“抓住”，可以替换为catch hold of。故选D。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“A girl dressed all in black may seem a bit depressed. But perhaps, deep down inside, she just likes black and is actually cheerful. She has the same interests as you — (the ‘cool kid’) — but she just dresses differently. (一个穿一身黑的女孩可能看起来有点沮丧。但也许，在内心深处，她只是喜欢黑色，实际上是开朗的。她和你——（那个‘酷孩子’）——有相同的兴趣爱好，只是穿着不同而已。)”可知，作者在文中提到穿一身黑的女孩，想要传达的含义是不能光凭外表来确定一个人的特征个性。故选C。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“‘We categorise immediately and without thinking,’ says Dovidio. ‘And we stereotype others not just on their appearance, how they dress or act, but — wrongly — on their race and sex too.’(‘我们会不假思索地立即进行分类。’Dovidio说：‘我们不仅在外表、穿着和行为上对他人抱有刻板印象，而且——错误地——在种族和性别上也抱有刻板印象。’)”可知人们会不假思索地立即对他人按照刻板印象进行分类，由此可知，人们对他人进行刻板印象归类是一种下意识的举动，人们无法控制自己对他人的反应。故选C。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“On the other hand, Jim, another high school student, says ‘by labelling people we’re actually highlighting similarities not differences. If we didn’t stereotype, it would make many things today impossible. Think of marketing studies focused on specific audiences, or clubs for people with similar interests or hobbies.’(另一方面，另一名高中生Jim说：‘通过给人贴标签，我们实际上是在强调相似之处，而不是不同之处。如果我们没有刻板印象，这将使今天的许多事情变得不可能。想想针对特定受众的营销研究，或者针对具有相似兴趣或爱好的人的俱乐部。’)”可知，Jim认为通过给人群贴标签可以找到群体的相似性，如果没有刻板印象的话，针对特定受众的市场调查、俱乐部等就无法实现。由此可知，Jim对刻板印象的态度是积极的。故选A。
D
It was a method favoured by the inventor Thomas Edison and the artist Salvador Dali. Waking from a nap exactly at the point before deep sleep in an effort to inspire creativity.
Edison held a metal ball in his hand so that if he nodded off he would drop it and the sound would wake him. For Dali, it was a key landing on a plate. Now scientists have found that they might have been onto something.
Researchers at the Paris Brain Institute studied people’s ability to find a hidden rule in a maths puzzle. Identifying the trick would make solving the problem far simpler but to do so required thinking creatively. The scientists found that participants who had been woken just before falling into a deep sleep, using a technique like that used by Edison and Dali, were more likely to find the shortcut.
This “twilight zone” is known as non-rapid eye movement sleep stage 1, or N1. Scientists described it like an exaggerated form of mind-wandering, where dream-like thoughts fill the mind. It is thought that as people start to disengage (脱离) from their environment they can “freely watch their minds wander, while maintaining their ability to identify creative sparks (火花)”.
For the study 103 people were given a maths problem to solve. To reach the final answer they had to apply the rules step by step but, unknown to them, a “hidden rule” would allow them to bypass most of the steps and get to the solution much more quickly. The results showed that 83 percent of those in the N1 group had found the shortcut, compared with 31 percent in the group who were awake and 14 percent of those in a deep sleep.
Researchers conclude that the brain activity common to the twilight zone between sleep and wakefulness set off creative sparks. “Although the neural mechanisms (神经机制) involved are not yet known, our findings suggest that there is a creative sweet spot within the twilight zone,” said Dr Thomas Andrillon, co-author of the study.
13. Why did the author mention “a metal ball” and “a key” in Paragraph 2?
A. To clarify a method. B. To explain a theory.
C. To present a concept. D. To make a comparison.
14. What can we learn about “the twilight zone” from the text?
A. It prevents your mind from wandering.
B. It determines what your dreams will be like.
C. It is known as rapid eye movement sleep stage.
D. It is a state of being half asleep and half awake.
15. What does “the shortcut” in Paragraph 5 refer to?
A. The maths problem. B. The final answer.
C. The hidden rule. D. The added step.
16. What attitude may Dr Thomas Andrillon hold to the technique used by Edison and Dali?
A. Doubtful. B. Critical.
C. Indifferent. D. Favorable.
【答案】13. A 14. D 15. C 16. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍来自爱迪生和达利的启示：临睡状态可激发创造力。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段提到了爱迪生和达利偏爱的一个激发创造力的方法“Waking from a nap exactly at the point before deep sleep in an effort to inspire creativity.(在深度睡眠前从午睡中醒来，以激发创造力)”和第二段“Edison held a metal ball in his hand so that if he nodded off he would drop it and the sound would wake him. For Dali, it was a key landing on a plate.(爱迪生手里拿着金属球为了当他低头时，金属球掉在地上的声音唤醒他。对于达利来说，他拿的是掉在盘子的钥匙)”可知，通过“金属球”和“钥匙”更直观地介绍了这种方法的操作方式，故选A。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。由最后一段第一句话“…the twilight zone between sleep and wakefulness…”可知“the twilight zone”为半睡半醒状态。故选D。
【15题详解】
词义猜测题。由上文“a “hidden rule” would allow them to bypass most of the steps and get to the solution much more quickly.”可知， “隐藏规则”可使他们绕过大多数步骤，更快地找到答案。再结合划线单词所在句“The results showed that 83 percent of those in the N1 group had found the shortcut(结果显示，在N1组中，83%的人找到了the shortcut)”可知，此处划线单词the shortcut指代前文的the hidden rule“隐藏规则”。 故选C。
【16题详解】
推理判断题。最后一段“Researchers conclude that the brain activity common to the twilight zone between sleep and wakefulness set off creative sparks.（研究人员得出结论，睡眠和清醒之间的模糊地带的大脑活动会激发创造力的火花）”可知，研究结果证实临睡状态可激发创造力火花，同时博士的话“our findings suggest that there is a creative sweet spot within the twilight zone（我们的发现表明临睡状态确实存在创造力的最有效点）”推知，博士对爱迪生和达利使用的技术的态度是肯定的。故选D。

Across India, summers can be extreme. Temperatures outdoors can soar to 124°F (51℃), high enough to melt the surface of the streets.
Millions of urban lower-income families live in tiny, one-room houses crammed together. Such shacks have tin and asbestos (石棉的) roofs. These materials absorb the sun’s heat, rather than reflect it back into the atmosphere. Additionally, only a few trees grow between the jam-packed houses. Making matters worse is the residents’ poverty. Most households cannot afford to run air conditioners and coolers. All these factors make the inside of these tiny houses extremely hot. Under such conditions, residents find it difficult to live, let alone work. Productivity declines.
Social workers and scientists have realized that the quickest way to cool such houses is to change their roofs. That’s because the roof receives the most direct sunlight. Climate researchers came up with many strategies to produce cool roofs. One easy way was with paint. Light-colored surfaces reflect more heat than darker ones, so roofs painted white would be cooler than those painted in any other color. This wasn’t a new idea. In fact, Indians have traditionally whitewashed homes with chuna. The annual Monsoon rains, though, wash the chuna away. Climate experts hoped that the white paints would last longer. Research findings revealed that painting alone could bring down the heat by up to 9℉(5℃).
Problems persist, though. While the paint is fairly cheap, poor people cannot afford it without financial help. In addition, the sunlight bouncing off white-topped roofs makes them too bright to look at. Residents usually use the roofs for drying wet clothes and vegetables, like chilies. But the glare from the whitened surfaces makes it tough for them to do these tasks. A third problem is that white-roofedbuildings reflect the sun’s rays throughout the year. Ironically, this makes roofs too cool in regions where winters get extremely cold. And keeping warm is costly, too.
Despite these drawbacks, many households are supporters of cool roof initiatives. For most, the benefits of the roofs outweigh their flaws. Indeed, the white paint has given their lives a newlight.
17. What is a factor contributing to Indian houses’ extreme heat?
A. The building materials of the roofs. B. Residents’ lack of green awareness.
C. The influence of the global economy. D. There being no trees in the community.
18. Why is white paint a good choice according to paragraph 3?
A. It is effective. B. It is innovative. C. It is replaceable. D. It is long-lasting.
19. What problem comes with white paint roofs?
A. Their brightness will lead to color blindness.
B. The paint will become too expensive to afford.
C. It will be inconvenient to dry stuff on the roofs.
D. Residents’ living cost will be higher in summer.
20. What is the text mainly about?
A. Light-colored paints. B. A house-cooling strategy.
C. White-roofed buildings. D. An energy-saving initiative.

【导语】本文为说明文。文章主要介绍了用白油漆涂屋顶来降温的方法。
【17题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的“Such shacks have tin and asbestos (石棉的) roofs. These materials absorb the sun’s heat, rather than reflect it back into the atmosphere. Additionally, only a few trees grow between the jam-packed houses. Making matters worse is the residents’ poverty. Most households cannot afford to run air conditioners and coolers. All these factors make the inside of these tiny houses extremely hot. (这样的棚屋有锡和石棉屋顶。这些材料吸收太阳的热量，而不是将其反射回大气层。此外，只有几棵树生长在拥挤的房屋之间。更糟糕的是当地居民的贫困。大多数家庭买不起空调和冷却器。所有这些因素使这些小房子的内部非常热)”并结合选项可知，屋顶的建筑材料是导致印度房屋过热的因素之一。故选A。
【18题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的“One easy way was with paint. Light-colored surfaces reflect more heat than darker ones, so roofs painted white would be cooler than those painted in any other color．(最简单最快速的一个降温方法是给屋顶涂白油漆。浅色表面比深色表面反射更多的热量，所以涂成白色的屋顶会比其他颜色的屋顶更凉爽)”可知，白油漆是一个好的选择是因为能反射更多的热量，更有效。故选A。
【19题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段的“Problems persist, though. While the paint is fairly cheap, poor people cannot afford it without financial help. In addition, the sunlight bouncing off white-topped roofs makes them too bright to look at. Residents usually use the roofs for drying wet clothes and vegetables, like chilies. But the glare from the whitened surfaces makes it tough for them to do these tasks. (不过，问题依然存在。虽然油漆相当便宜，但如果没有经济援助，穷人买不起。此外，阳光从白色屋顶上反射回来，使它们太亮了，让人看不见。居民们通常用屋顶来晾晒湿衣服和蔬菜，比如辣椒。但白化表面的强光让它们很难完成这些任务)”可知，从白色屋顶上反射的光太亮，使人睁不开眼，这使得在屋顶上晾干东西很不方便。故选C。
【20题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，并结合第三段的“Climate researchers came up with many strategies to produce cool roofs. One easy way was with paint. Light-colored surfaces reflect more heat than darker ones, so roofs painted white would be cooler than those painted in any other color.(气候研究人员想出了许多制造凉爽屋顶的策略。一个简单的方法是用颜料。浅色的表面比深色的表面反射更多的热量，所以刷成白色的屋顶比刷成其他颜色的屋顶更凉爽)”和最后一段“Despite these drawbacks, many households are supporters of cool roof initiatives. For most, the benefits of the roofs outweigh their flaws. Indeed, the white paint has given their lives a newlight.(尽管有这些缺点，许多家庭都是冷屋顶倡议的支持者。对大多数人来说，屋顶的好处大于缺点。事实上，白色的油漆给他们的生活带来了新的曙光)”可知，本文主要介绍了用白油漆涂屋顶来降温的策略。故选B。

You may have seen them standing alone in a farmer’s field. With thin arms and a strange smile, they stand guard over the crops day and night. ____21____
Scarecrows have been around since at least the time of the ancient Egyptians. Back then, farmers covered wooden frames with nets to protect wheat fields. ____22____ Around 2500 BCE, the Greeks made the first human-like scarecrows. They added a face which was similar to that of the Greek god Priapus. ____23____ The Romans later copied this design and brought it to Europe.

In the mid-19th century, writer Nathaniel Hawthorne brought scarecrows into literature with the short story “Feathertop.” In this tale, a witch who prays to the Devil brings a scarecrow to life.
Then there is the most famous scarecrow. His name is simply “Scarecrow,” and he appears in The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. In the children’s novel, Scarecrow joins Dorothy, Tin Man and the Cowardly Lion on an adventure to meet the wizard of the magical land of Oz. ____25____
Aside from these examples, scarecrows have featured in rock songs and as characters in comic books. On Halloween, they are brought out as scary decorations. Both practical and creepy, scarecrows continue to capture our imagination.
A. Scarecrows appear everywhere in the world.
B. We can never ignore the influence of stories about scarecrow.
C. They are scarecrows, whose job has gone unchanged for thousands of years.

Back then, farmers covered wooden frames with nets to protect wheat fields.(至少在古埃及时代，稻草人就已经出现了。当时，农民们用网覆盖木框来保护麦田)”介绍了农民用网盖住木架子来保护小麦，由此推知下文应该是在讲农民的其他做法。D项“They would hide in the wheat, and then jump out to scare birds into their nets.(他们会躲在麦子里，然后跳出来把鸟儿吓到网里)”符合题意，选项中的they指代上文的farmers 。故选D。
【23题详解】
根据上文“Around 2500 BCE, the Greeks made the first human-like scarecrows. They added a face which was similar to that of the Greek god Priapus.(大约在公元前2500年，希腊人制造了第一个人形稻草人。他们添加了一张与希腊神普里阿普斯相似的脸)”可知，希腊人制作的稻草人添加了与阿普斯相似的脸。由此推知，空处陈述这样做的目的是什么。E项“This was thought to be scary enough to keep birds away from their precious fields.(这被认为是足够可怕的，使鸟类远离他们宝贵的土地)”符合题意，选项中this指代上文“他们添加了一张与希腊神普里阿普斯相似的脸”这种做法。故选E。
【24题详解】
空处为本段主旨句。根据下文“In the oldest book of Japanese literature, The Kojiki, a scarecrow named Kuebiko appears. Though he can’t walk, Kuebiko is a kind of all-knowing god. In the mid-19th century, writer Nathaniel Hawthorne brought scarecrows into literature with the short story “Feathertop.” In this tale, a witch who prays to the Devil brings a scarecrow to life.(在日本最古老的文学作品《歌之木》中，出现了一个名叫“酷比子”的稻草人。虽然不能走路，但他是一个无所不知的神。19世纪中期，作家纳撒尼尔·霍桑以短篇小说Feathertop将稻草人引入文学。在这个故事中，一个女巫向魔鬼祈祷，使稻草人活了过来)”可知，本段介绍的是稻草人在文学作品中的运用。F项“Throughout the years, scarecrows have made many appearances in popular culture.(多年来，稻草人在流行文化中多次出现)”符合本段主旨。故选F。
【25题详解】
空处位于段末，应承接上文。根据上文“His name is simply “Scarecrow,” and he appears in The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. In the children’s novel, Scarecrow joins Dorothy, Tin Man and the Cowardly Lion on an adventure to meet the wizard of the magical land of Oz.(他的名字很简单，叫“稻草人”，他出现在《绿野仙踪》中。在这本儿童小说中，稻草人与多萝茜、铁皮人和胆小的狮子一起冒险，去遇到神奇的奥兹国的巫师)”可知，上文陈述了稻草人在《绿野仙踪》中的形象。由此推知，下文内容应与此相关。G项“Scarecrow has appeared in films and plays around the world since the release of the book.(自从这本书出版以来，稻草人已经出现在世界各地的电影和戏剧中)”符合题意，选项中的this book指代上文的提到的The Wonderful Wizard of Oz一书。故选G。
