A
If you’re looking to buy a gift for your children, why not keep up with the trend and get the best hoverboard?
What is a Hoverboard?
A hoverboard is a two-wheeled personal transportation device. It’s electrical, portable and became highly popular in 2015. Typically, this self-balancing device operates like a powered skateboard.
How Does a Hoverboard Work?
The device may have many designs, but the mechanism itself isn’t complicated. Basically, a standard hoverboard contains:
•Battery: stores the electrical power. Almost all hoverboards use a high-watt lithium-ion battery.
•Gyroscope (one for each wheel): allows riders to tilt (倾斜) the hoverboard while maintaining balance and adjusting their direction.
•Motor (one in each wheel): provides the power to the wheels to keep the rider balanced and upright.
•Logic board: functions as the hoverboard brain. It processes data—your speed, tilt, etc.—and sends information to the motors. This unit controls the power of the board so riders can adjust their speed.
All the above components work together to control the power and tilt of the hoverboards so the rider is balanced, upright and moving at a controlled speed.
Why Buy a Hoverboard?
Undoubtedly, hoverboards are cool. You’ve probably seen kids riding one around the house. They’re a phenomenon and everybody wants in. So, why deny your kids and prevent them from being part of this trend?
Where is a hoverboard legal?
Despite their wild popularity, hoverboards have yet to become “street-legal”. Currently, some places prohibit anyone under 16 from using these devices, and hoverboards are banned in academic institutions and public places, like campus buildings, parks, shopping malls and subway stations. Some places have also put speed limits on the devices and restricted their use to bike paths. However, open areas—including your yard—are free of these restrictions.
21.The logic board of a hoverboard can ______.
A.store electricity B.power the wheels
C.send information to the riders D.receive data and give command
22.According to the passage, you can see a hoverboard ______.
A.on campus B.in parks
C.on bike paths D.in shopping malls
23.What is the main purpose of this passage?
A.To evaluate a gift’s quality.
B.To suggest a gift option.
C.To compare new hoverboard models.
D.To explain functions of the latest hoverboards.
B
“Today, at 28, the young German Violinist Anner Sophie Mutter is at the top. She gives radiance (光辉) to the music,” wrote Geoffrey Norris in The Daily Telegraph, London. Mutter was also one of the world’s youngest professors.
Born in Rhweinfelden on June 29, 1963, Anner Sophie grew up in Wehr, a small town just five kilometers from the Swiss border. Her father, Karl Wilhelm Mutter, and her mother, Gerlinde, considered music lessons part of a good education. Thus, their first son, Andreas, began practicing the violin at eight, and his younger brother, Christoph, had piano lessons. It came as no surprise when Anner Sophie said she wanted a violin for her fifth birthday.
Her parents thought she was too young for the violin, and persuaded her to start on the piano. But Anner Sophie has always had a mind of her own. “I longed to play the violin,” she said. “It seemed to me a much more interesting instrument.” After six months, her parents gave in.
The famous violin teacher Ema Honigberger, who lived nearby, became Anner Sophie’s tutor (家庭教师). After only nine months of lessons, she entered the six-year-old in a nationwide competition for young musicians. With Christoph accompanying her on the piano, Anner-Sophie won first prize.
In 1974, Ema Honigberger died. Anner Sophie’s new teacher was Aida Stucki. She taught Anner Sophe to develop her own ideas on how a piece should be played, not just to imitate (模仿) others. This is one of the violinist’s strongest, most distinctive (与众不同的) characteristics today.
Though the Mutters were short of money at times, they limited their daughter’s performances to one or two a year. “We are glad we went the family road,” said her father. “No outsider (外人) can ever have an effect on our daughter’s career or push her into playing more concerts than she wants to.” Later she was allowed to give six to eight concerts a year and make some recordings. Only when she turned 18 did she begin her professional career.
24.Anner Sophie’s career dates back to______.
A.the late 1960s B.her family education
C.the late 1970s D.her fifth birthday
25.Anner Sophie’s concerts are_________.
A.limited to one or two a year B.accompanied at the piano by Christoph
C.highly praised throughout the world D.appreciated by professors in London
26.Which sentence shows Anner Sophie’s strong point as a violinist?
A.She wanted a violin for her fifth birthday.
B.She has always had a mind of her own.
C.She had two famous violin teachers.
D.Violin seemed to her a much more interesting instrument.
27.The virtue (美德) the Mutters have is that they believe_______.
A.children should learn music
B.money is not everything
C.Anner Sophie was too young to give concerts
D.parents have a great effect upon their children
C
Two years ago, Dimas Aliprandi and Elton Plaster didn’t know of each others existence. Then they learned they had been switched at birth by mistake more than 20 years ago. The discovery didn’t bring bitterness. Rather, it led to the creation of a bigger family.
The chain of events started with Dimas, who was always wondering why he did not look like the four sisters he grew up with. He was 14 when his doubts grew after watching a TV news report on babies getting switched at birth because of mistakes at hospitals- He wanted to do a DNA test, but it was too expensive for the family.
A decade later, Dimas did it on his own. The DNA test showed that he was not the birth son of the man and woman who had raised him. The news was a shock for his parents. They at first refused to believe the results, but eventually decided to help him look for his biological parents.
The search began at the Madre Regina Protmann Hospital where records were checked. The hospital searched its records and found Elton Plaster was born there on the same day.
The records led Dimas to the 35-acre farm where Piaster lived, with his parents, Nilza and Adelson, in the town of Santa Maria de Jetiba, about 30 miles from the Aliprandi home in Joao Neiva. After tests, the Plasters discovered that Elton was the biological son of the man and woman that Dimas had been calling Mom and Dad for 24 years. Meanwhile, the couple Elton, had always regarded as his biological parents were Dimas’ parents.
About a year ago, Aliprandi and the parents who raised him accepted an offer from the Plasters to move to their farm, where they built a home. “This is the way it should be,” Adelson Plaster recently told Globo TV. “ We are all together and I now have two sons living and working here.
28.Who was the first to discover the baby switch?
A.Globo TV. B.The hospital.
C.Elton Plaster. D.Dimas Aliprandi.
29.Where do the Aliprandis now live?
A.In Sao Pauo. B.In Joao Neiva.
C.In Madre Regina Protmann. D.In Santa Maria de Jetiba.
30.What did the Aliprandis do when they knew about the baby switch?
A.They took another DNA test.
B.They switched the hospital s records.
C.They went to Globo TV for more information.
D.They helped Dimas find his birth parents.
31.Who are Elton Plaster’s biological parents?
A.The Aliprandis. B.The Plasters.
C.Dimas and Elton. D.Nilza and Adelson.
D
Mistakes can be learning opportunities, but the brain needs time for lessons to sink in. When facing fast decisions, even the momentary distraction of noting an error can decrease accuracy on the next choice, researchers report in the March 15 Journal of Neuroscience.
To test people’s response to making mistakes, Buzzell and colleagues at George Mason University in Fairfax, monitored 23 participants’ brain activity while they worked through a challenging task. Concentric(同心的) circles flashed briefly on a screen, and participants had to respond with one hand if the two circles were the same color and the other hand if the circles were slightly different shades.
After making a mistake, participants generally answered the next question correctly if they had a second or so to recover. But when the next challenge came very quickly after an error, as little as 0.2 seconds, accuracy dropped by about 10 percent. Electrical activity recorded from the visual cortex(大脑皮层) showed that participants paid less attention to the next experiment if they had just made a mistake than if they had responded correctly. The cognitive(认知的) demand of noting and processing the error seems to change attention that would otherwise be devoted to the task, Buzzell says.
In real life, people usually have time — even if just a few seconds — to reflect on a mistake before having to make another decision. But in some activities such as driving a car or playing a musical instrument, people must recover from errors quickly while continuing to correctly carry out the rest of the task. Those actions might push the limits of error processing.
32.According to the study by Buzzell, which of the following should be the major concern if we want to avoid making mistakes?
A.The difficulty of the tasks.
B.Time to respond to the mistakes.
C.The devotion to the tasks.
D.Reflection on the mistakes.
33.What can we know from Paragraph3?
A.Participants would pay more attention to the next task if they just made a mistake.
B.The cognitive demand of noting and processing the error can help participants focus on the next task.
C.The more time participants took to recover from the mistake, the lower accuracy they would get.
D.If participants are responding correctly, they’ll be devoted to the tasks heart and soul.
34.Which of the following person can have the most time to correct his mistake?
A.A pianist playing at the concert.
B.A taxi driver on the road.
C.A professor working on a research paper.
D.A table-tennis player playing in the match.
35.What could be the best title of the passage?
A.Mistakes Can Teach Us Lessons.
B.One Mistake Will Lead to Another.
C.Mistakes Can Be Learning Opportunities.
D.Making Mistakes Can Put Your Brain on “Pause”.

67.阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Matt is ten years old and always nervous about something. When the night sneaks up on him, he lies in bed with the blanket tightly up around his chin. The shadows on the edge of the ceiling make him slide deeper under the cover. And tonight is no exception. That’s why his mother left the light on in the hallway. To frighten away strange noises.
But that’s not all that’s wrong with Matt. He is also very unhappy. In the daytime he watches everyone pass by. He notices adults carry their briefcases on their way to work. He even worries about how hard they have to work. He sees ladies holding umbrellas in case the rain comes in the afternoon. He thinks a hurricane or a terrible rainstorm might come.
Matt always thinks the worst. He even lingers behind other children on their way to school. Some play friendly tricks on each other and tease and holler in loud voices. Not Matt. He has very few friends. In fact if he has to think very hard he can’t remember more than two. They live on the other side of Truro. So he’s pretty much alone.
That day was very special for Matt. He didn’t realize that his grandfather was watching him. He saw Matt go to school and waited for him to come out for lunch. He watched Matt eat by himself on one of the benches in the schoolyard.
It was right near one of Matt’s favorite squirrels. He watched as Matt motioned the squirrel to come across the yard to sit with him. A black blur raced toward him and then jumped up on the bench to take the peanut treat. Grandfather saw this and was glad.
Over the next few days, Grandfather was able to observe the kindness, which Matt had not only for animals but for people as well. When Sally fell off her bike and cut herself, Matt stayed with her until she was fixed up by her mother.
Most of the neighborhood children took part in a Saturday baseball game with their parents. Matt was watching a few children play ball at Victoria Park.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Matt never played because he thought he was not good enough.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Grandfather knew this and wanted to help Matt.

Carol is a teenage girl. She thinks she’s a bit too big, but she doesn’t know how she became that way. Carol has made up her mind to follow other’s example and plan to lose weight as well. Sometimes she feels so unhappy without knowing why. At these times, she often goes out to restaurants, bars, and cafeterias for food. Although she feels very full in her stomach, she can’t stop eating because of the enjoyment she gets. She’s a little worried about her behaviour and thinks that she might have an unknown disease or an unhealthy mind. With these questions, Carol went to see a doctor. The doctor doesn’t think she has a disease, but suggests that she needs self-control. Since Carol said she enjoys eating although she feels very full, the doctor thinks her feeling of unhappiness could come from something deeper, such as problems with family members or friends. The doctor said Carol needs to find something that can bring fun to her life. Perhaps she should give up the habit of eating too much and do something else instead, such as talking to someone over the phone, playing with friends, or drinking more tea. These methods could help Carol change the habit of eating too much and become healthy again.

21.细节理解题。由•Logic board 部分中的“It processes data — your speed, tilt, etc.— and sends information to the motors. This unit controls the power of the board so riders can adjust their speed.”可知,它处理数据——你的速度、倾斜度等——并将信息发送给电动机。这个装置控制着滑板的力量,所以骑手们可以调整他们的速度。由此我们可以判断logic board可以接收数据,并发出指令。故选D。
22.细节理解题。由最后一段中的“Currently, some places prohibit anyone under 16 from using these devices, and hoverboards are banned in academic institutions and public places, like campus buildings, parks, shopping malls and subway stations.”可知,目前,一些地方禁止16岁以下的人使用这些设备,学术机构和公共场所也禁止使用悬滑板(平衡车),比如校园建筑、公园、购物中心和地铁站。选项A校园,B公园,D购物中心都被排除。故选C。
23.推理判断题。由第一段中的“If you’re looking to buy a gift for your children, why not keep up with the trend and get the best hoverboard?”可知,如果你想给你的孩子买礼物,为什么不紧跟潮流,买最好的悬滑板(平衡车)呢?由此可知,这篇文章是帮大家推荐一款给孩子的礼物。故选B。
24.A 25.C 26.B 27.B
24.推理判断题。答案定位在第二段Born in Rhweinfelden on June 29, 1963,以及第四段After only nine months of lessons, she entered the six-year-old in a nationwide competition for young musicians.可知Anner Sophie在1963年出生,六岁参加比赛,由此推知Anner Sophie的职业生涯可以追溯到20世纪60年代末,故选A。
25.推理判断题。答案定位在第一段“Today, at 28, the young German Violinist Anner Sophie Mutter is at the top. She gives radiance (光辉) to the music,”(如今,28岁的年轻德国小提琴家Anner Sophie Mutter位居榜首,她给了音乐光辉。)由此推断出Anner Sophie的音乐会受到全世界的高度赞扬,故选C。
26.细节理解题。答案定位在倒数第二段She taught Anner Sophe to develop her own ideas on how a piece should be played, not just to imitate (模仿) others. This is one of the violinist’s strongest, most distinctive (与众不同的) characteristics today.可知“她一向有自己的主见”,表明了Anner Sophie作为一名小提琴家的特长,故选B。
27.推理判断题。答案定位在最后一段Though the Mutters were short of money at times, they limited their daughter’s performances to one or two a year. “We are glad we went the family road,” said her father. “No outsider (外人) can ever have an effect on our daughter’s career or push her into playing more concerts than she wants to.”( 虽然他们有时缺钱,但他们把女儿的演出限制在一年一两次。“我们很高兴我们走了家庭之路,”她的父亲说。“没有外人能影响我们女儿的事业或强迫她演奏更多的音乐会。”)由此推断出Mutters一家的优点是他们相信金钱不是万能的,故选B。
28.D 29.D 30.D 31.A
28.D细节题。题干意为“谁最先发现婴儿被掉包的?”根据第二段的讲述可知,是Dimas首先发现的,故D为正确答案。
29.D细节题。题干意为“Aliprandi一家现在住在哪里?”文章第六段提到“About a year ago,Aliprandi…to move to their farm”可知,一年前,Aliprandi一家已经受Piaster夫妇邀请搬迁至农场,并在那里安家,而根据第五段可知,Piaster一家在Santa Maria de Jetiba,故D正确。
30.D细节题。题干意为“Aliprandi夫妇发现婴儿被掉包之后怎么办的?”从文章的第三段中最后一句“…but eventually decided to help him look for his biological parents.”可以得知,他们愿意帮助Dimas寻找亲生父母,故D正确。
31.A推理题。题干意为“Elton Plaster的亲生父母是谁?”根据第五段中的“the Plasters discovered that Elton was the biological son of the man and woman Dimas had been calling Morn and Dad…”可知,Elton的亲生父母是Dimas Alipran-di的养父母,即The Aliprandis,故A正确。
32.B 33.D 34.C 35.D
32.推理判断题。根据第三段“After making a mistake, participants generally answered the next question correctly if they had a second or so to recover. But when the next challenge came very quickly after an error, as little as 0.2 seconds, accuracy dropped by about 10 percent.”可知,在犯了一个错误之后,如果参与者有大约一秒钟的时间可以恢复,他们通常会正确回答下一个问题。 但是当错误发生后下一个挑战很快到来,只有0.2秒时,准确性下降了大约10%。由此可知,根据 Buzzell的研究,如果我们想避免犯错误,那么应对错误的时间应该是主要的考虑因素。故选B。
33.细节理解题。根据第三段“ Electrical activity recorded from the visual cortex(大脑皮层) showed that participants paid less attention to the next experiment if they had just made a mistake than if they had responded correctly. ”可知,从大脑皮层记录下来的电活动显示,如果参与者只是犯了一个错误,那么他们对下一个实验的注意力要比他们正确回答的要少。由此可知,如果参与者反应正确,他们将全心全意地投入到任务中。故选D。
34.推理判断题。根据最后一段“But in some activities such as driving a car or playing a musical instrument, people must recover from errors quickly while continuing to correctly carry out the rest of the task.”可知,但在一些活动中,如驾驶汽车或演奏乐器,人们必须迅速从错误中恢复过来,同时继续正确地完成剩下的任务。由此可知,音乐会中演奏的钢琴家,在路上的出租车司机和比赛中的乒乓球运动员纠错的时间都很短,所以正在写研究论文的教授的有很多时间纠正自己的错误。故选C。
35.主旨大意题。阅读文章,并结合第一段“Mistakes can be learning opportunities, but the brain needs time for lessons to sink in. …an error can decrease accuracy on the next choice, researchers report in the March 15 Journal of Neuroscience.”描述可知,错误可能是学习的机会,但是大脑需要时间来吸取教训。当面临快速决策时,即使是暂时注意到错误会分散注意力,也会降低下一选择的准确性,研究人员在3月15日的《神经科学杂志》上发表了报告。由此可知,本文主要讲述了犯错误可以使您的大脑处于“暂停”状态,这是一个好的学习机会,结合选项可知,选项D的描述符合题意。故选D。
36.D 37.C 38.A 39.G 40.F
36.根据上文What kind of friends should we pick?(我们应该选择什么样的朋友?)为疑问句可对应到D选项“哪些是出于友谊应该做的,哪些是不应该做的?”承接上文,符合语境。故选D。
37.根据下文We may consider some to be nice and feel like making friends with them. However, not all good people are matches for us.(我们可能认为有些人很好,想和他们交朋友。然而,并不是所有的好人都适合我们。)可推知我们每天会遇到很多不同的人,我们可能认为有些人很好,想和他们交朋友。然而,并不是所有的好人都适合我们。故选C。
38.根据下文No one is perfect. A friend without faults will never be found.(人无完人。没有缺点的朋友是永远找不到的。)可知没有人是完美的,因此我们要学会包容他人。故选A。
39.根据下文However, it’s better to be honest with friends, to tell them what is bothering us and seek their advice.(然而,最好对朋友诚实,告诉他们是什么困扰着我们,并征求他们的意见。)可知对待朋友要真诚,不要隐藏真实感受。however表示上下文意思相反,故G选项“我们都倾向于向朋友展示我们积极的一面,隐藏我们的真实感受。”符合语境。故选G。
40.根据上文Being honest will not annoy your friends.(诚实不会惹恼你的朋友。)可知诚实会让你和你的朋友走得更近。故选F。
41.C 42.C 43.B 44.A 45.D 46.C 47.A 48.B 49.A 50.B 51.A 52.C 53.D 54.A 55.B

56.features 57.deepest 58.was inspired 59.decades 60.on 61.but 62.a 63.influenced 64.encouraging 65.entirely
56.考查时态和主谓一致。句意:奥赛博物馆位于一座古老的铁路建筑内,主要展有19世纪印象派运动中一些最著名的画作。分析句子结构可知,空格处应填入动词作谓语。Feature用作动词时,意为“以……为特色;以……为主要组成”。结合句意可知,该句描述的是客观事实,故时态为一般现在时,且主语the Musee d’Orsay“奥赛博物馆”为第三人称单数,故谓语动词用单三形式。故填features。
57.考查形容词最高级。句意:两位最伟大的印象派画家克劳德·莫奈和皮埃尔·奥古斯特·雷诺阿给我留下了最深刻的印象。分析句子结构可知,空格处应填入形容词作定语修饰名词impression“印象”。根据句意及空格前的定冠词the可知,提示词deep“深的,深刻的”应用最高级。故填deepest。
58.考查时态语态和主谓一致。句意:莫奈的作品灵感来自大自然。分析句子结构可知,空格处应填入动词作谓语。Inspire意为“激励,鼓舞,赋予灵感”。根据by nature“被大自然”可知,是被大自然赋予灵感,所以inspire要用被动语态。该句描述的是莫奈在创作作品时被大自然赋予了灵感,故时态为一般过去时,且主语work“作品”为第三人称单数,构成被动语态的be动词要用单数。故填was inspired。
59.考查名词。句意:在他生命的最后三十年里,他画的大多是自己花园里的景色。根据空格前的数词three可知,空格处应填入复数名词。名词decade意为“十年”。故填decades。
60.考查介词。句意:雷诺阿的代表作《红磨坊的舞会》展现了一个周日下午巴黎繁华街区的生活。根据空格后的a Sunday afternoon“一个周日下午”可知,空格处应填入表示时间的介词。因为体现了具体日期Sunday,所以用介词on。故填on。
61.考查连词。句意:有那么多的事情在发生,但清楚的细节却很少。分析句子结构可知,空格处应填入连词。根据空格前的关键词so much和空格后的关键词so little可知,前后相反,为转折关系。故填but。
62.考查冠词。句意:印象派画家并没有企图画出场景中的每一个细节,只是画出在那一刻他们所拥有的一个简短的“印象”,在它消失之前,用生动的色彩和光线燃烧着。空格后的impression“印象”为可数名词,以单数形式出现在句子中时,前要有限定词,所以空格处要填入冠词起限定作用。结合句意,a brief impression意为“一个简短的印象”,符合题意。故填a。
63.考查非谓语动词。句意:同样值得注意的是,后印象派画家并不是唯一受印象派影响的人。分析句子结构可知,空格处应填入非谓语动词作定语修饰代词ones。Influence意为“影响”,根据by Impressionism可知,是被印象派影响,故用过去分词表被动。故填influenced。
64.考查非谓语动词。句意:这一运动对现代艺术产生了持久的影响,鼓励艺术家从全新的角度看世界。分析句子结构可知,空格处应填入非谓语动词作状语,且encourage“鼓励”与句子主语the movement“运动”之间为逻辑上的主谓关系,故用现在分词表主动关系。故填encouraging。
65.考查副词。句意:这一运动对现代艺术产生了持久的影响,鼓励艺术家从全新的角度看世界。分析句子结构可知,空格处用来修饰形容词new“新的”,故用副词修饰形容词。Entire为形容词,意为“完全的”,其副词变形为entirely。故填entirely。

Dear John,
Sorry about my not being able to go to the zoo with you this weekend. I have to go to the dentist, for I have a bad tooth which hurts now and then. I don’t think I can stand it any more. I know you are looking forward to our trip to the zoo very much. Let’s make it next Sunday. I think my tooth will be all right by then. I promise you will enjoy yourself there.
Sorry again and looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
Li Hua

Matt never played because he thought he was not good enough. He was afraid of making a mistake. He was old enough and big enough but he was too afraid to try. He thought he would never be able to hit the ball. Then he would let everyone down, and they would laugh at him. And if he hit the ball, he would be too slow to run to first base, or he might miss the ball when it was thrown to him.
Grandfather knew this and wanted to help Matt. Holding a ball, Grandfather strolled over to Matt and yelled, “Hey, Matt.” Matt jumped up with great surprise. “Grandpa!” he shouted. “I want to play baseball. Will you do me a favor to play with me?” Grandfather asked. Matt hesitated, head down. “Sorry, I can’t. I play…” “Come on, boy! Let’s have fun.” With Grandfather’s patient encouragements and constant praise, he gradually felt easy to play baseball freely. Matt was confident and he did play in the very next baseball game
