1840’s Original KAZOO
What is a kazoo? Kazoo (卡祖笛) is a very special wind instrument which hums through the human voice and enhances the sound, similar to the saxophone. Playing Kazoo doesn’t need to learn music theory, recite music scores, or even practice. Kazoo may sound like a saxophone and trumpet. It is often played when a guest is welcomed.
Kazoo History The Kazoo roots date back to Africa where they were originally used for sacred ceremonies, although the exact purpose is still a mystery to all. Later, the Kazoo was used to drive away enemies, not as a musical instrument.
How to play? Kazoo has a simple structure. The flute is big at one end and small at the other. When playing, you should hold the big head in your mouth without blowing, but hum a tune with your throat. The vibration of the vocal cord drives the vibration of the sound film on the flute to make a sound. For beginners, “doo-doo” is a perfect attempt. Remember DON’T BLOW-HUM.
Maintenance It is recommended to keep your Kazoo clean and dry. Excessive saliva (唾液) does not do the tin much good. Also food intake must be considered. Beer, garlic, chilli have a strange effect on the sound, but don’t be anxious. Some people even prefer these effects. From time to time the membrane (薄膜) may need replacing through excessive wear or dampness. When removing the old one, you shouldn’t use any mechanical tools or it would harm its further use. As for substitution, it is a piece of cake as you just need to cut a piece of waxed paper the size of the hole and screw back the cap.
1. What can we infer about the Kazoo?
A. It shares a similar working principle with trumpet.
B. Professional training for the Kazoo is not necessarily required.
C. The Africans introduced it to the musical field.
D. Replacing the membrane frequently can improve its life.
2. Which of the following is suggested for Kazoo players according to the passage?
A. Blow a tune with your throat. B. Have garlic before your performance.
C. Store it in a basement. D. Avoid using scissors to remove the old membrane.
3. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To introduce a unique instrument.
B. To persuade us to buy our own Kazoo.
C. To explain the Kazoo’s cultural value.
D. To stress the importance of using Kazoo properly.
【答案】1. B 2. D 3. A
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇应用文，文章主要介绍了一种独特的乐器：卡祖笛。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Playing Kazoo doesn’t need to learn music theory, recite music scores, or even practice.(演奏卡祖笛不需要学习音乐理论、朗诵乐谱或者进行练习)”可知，演奏卡祖笛不需要学习音乐理论、朗诵乐谱或者进行练习，也就是不需要专业培训。故选 B。

【3题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章每段的小标题“What is a kazoo?(什么是卡祖笛？)”“Kazoo History(卡祖笛历史)”“How to play?(如何演奏？)”“Maintenance(保养)”可知，文章的主要目的是对卡祖笛进行简要介绍，包括卡祖笛是什么样的，其历史、演奏方法和保养方法，故选A。

Tired of the busy and chaotic life in Las Vegas, Nevada for nearly ten years, my family and I decided to slow things down. We wanted to lead an environmental-friendly life.
None of us felt that this could be accomplished where we were living and we all agreed that a move to the country would be great for everyone.
Before long we set about looking for a home in Yucca, Arizona, a very small town of less than 1,000 people. When I called to inquire about the property, I was informed that there was no electricity available in the area. What? No electricity? I almost denied the idea immediately. But what better way is there to go green? After giving it a second thought, we decided to put in an offer and moved in on Thanksgiving Day.
When we first moved to the property, we did some remodeling (改造) and stayed in our motor home. We were confronted with real challenges at the time. But the frustrations just made us work harder. We slowly got things fixed and moved into the house after 38 days.
While living here for the past four months has been a big adjustment, there are many benefits to living off the grid (电线). I think one of the most educational lessons is teaching my kids the importance of conservation. They used to take water, power and gas for granted. We started taking quicker showers, doing only full loads of laundry, turning off the water while brushing our teeth. In addition, we are also trying to make other changes which include reducing the amount of trash we generate by recycling, growing our own organic vegetables and re-purposing things that we would normally throw.
Overall, going off the grid has been great for our family. I hope that once my kids move out of the house, they will keep the habits that they have learned by living off the grid.
4. Why did the family move to a remote town?
A. Financial debt forced them to save more money.
B. Having a new lifestyle has become a trend.
C. They reached an agreement to lead a green life.
D. They got a discount on a property accidentally.
5. How did the author feel when she knew the property was non-electricity?
A. Satisfied. B. Astonished. C. Relieved. D. Refreshed.
6. When the author’s kids looked back on the life off the grid, they would recall the lesson that_______.
A. saving resources makes a difference B. life is beyond our expectation
C. city chaos will disappear sooner or later D. repair the house before it rains
7. What is the text mainly about?
A. How urgent it was to lead an environmental-friendly life.
B. How a family of urban-residents switched to a simple life.
C How significant it was to better adapt to a new environment.
D. How a carbon-free lifestyle has been promoted to the country.
【答案】4 C 5. B 6. A 7. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了作者一家从繁忙喧嚣的拉斯维加斯搬到了亚利桑那州一个偏远小镇的经历。他们希望过一种更加自给自足的生活，体验绿色环保。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Tired of the busy and chaotic life in Las Vegas, Nevada for nearly ten years, my family and I decided to slow things down. We wanted to lead an environmental-friendly life.”（厌倦了近十年来在内华达州拉斯维加斯忙碌而混乱的生活，我和家人决定放慢节奏。我们想过一种环保的生活。）以及第二段“None of us felt that this could be accomplished where we were living and we all agreed that a move to the country would be great for everyone.”（我们都觉得在我们住的地方不可能做到这一点，我们都认为搬到乡下对每个人来说都是件好事。）可知，这家人搬到一个偏远的小镇是因为他们都一致同意过绿色生活。故选C项。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“When I called to inquire about the property, I was informed that there was no electricity available in the area. What? No electricity? I almost denied the idea immediately.”（当我打电话询问物业情况时，我被告知该地区没有电。怎么啦？没有电？我几乎马上就否认了这个想法。）可推知，当作者知道房子没有电的时候，她是感到惊讶的。故选B项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Overall, going off the grid has been great for our family. I hope that once my kids move out of the house, they will keep the habits that they have learned by living off the grid.”（总的来说，离开电网对我们家来说是件好事。我希望，一旦我的孩子们搬出去，他们会保持他们在远离电网的生活中养成的习惯。）可知，作者教育孩子节约用水、电和气体的重要性，希望他们能保持这种习惯。因此，他们将回想起这个教训。故选A项。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及第一段“Tired of the busy and chaotic life in Las Vegas, Nevada for nearly ten years, my family and I decided to slow things down. We wanted to lead an environmental-friendly life.”（厌倦了近十年来在内华达州拉斯维加斯忙碌而混乱的生活，我和家人决定放慢节奏。我们想过一种环保的生活。）可知，整篇文章讲述了作者一家如何从城市搬到乡村，过一种自给自足、没有电线的生活，即一家城市居民家庭如何转向简单的生活。故选B项。
C
Including a joke in the title of a paper could pay off in terms of citations (引用), according to a study. The finding — which has not been proved by peers — suggests that researchers could gain citations by giving their papers amusing titles while some say the evidence is too weak to support the conclusion.
Jokes sometimes find their way into academic papers. “One place where we often see humor is in titles, but there’s a very small amount of literature about whether this is reasonable,” says lead author Stephen Heard, an evolutionary ecologist.
To investigate whether having a funny title could boost a paper’s readership and citations, Heard and his colleagues asked volunteers to score the titles of 2,439 papers according to how amusing they were. The scorers assessed humor on a seven-point scale, from zero (serious titles) to six (extremely funny). The researchers then looked for a link between papers’ humor scores and the number of citations they had received, including self-citations by their own authors.
Papers with funny titles were cited slightly less often than those with more serious or straightforward titles. However, papers with more amusing titles also tended to have fewer self-citations, which led Heard’s team to infer that scientists might give funnier titles to less important papers. “Our assumption is that authors don’t cite their own papers subsequently because they don’t think that those are their most important papers,” Heard says.
After controlling for self-citations as a measure of a paper’s importance, the researchers found that articles with funny titles are in fact cited more than those with serious titles. For example, papers with titles that got a score of six had nearly twice as many citations on average as those whose titles got a humor score of four. But some researchers argued that self-citations might not be a good criterion for a paper’s importance.
8. The finding of the study can be best described as _________ according to the first paragraph.
A. a widely accepted belief. B. something surprising.
C. a wholly resisted opinion. D. something still in debate.
9. How did the researchers carry out the first stage of the study?
A. By enquiring about volunteers’ attitudes toward funny titles.
B. By asking participants to divide those titles into seven ranks.
C. By matching the papers’ scores with the volunteers’ likes.
D. By digitalizing the citations into various scores of humor.
10. Which of the following statements will Heard most probably agree with?
A. Including a joke in an essay is by no means a good attempt.
B. Self-citations don’t serve as a good standard for the research.
C. Articles with fewer self-citations tend to be unimportant to the authors.
D. Scientists should stop their self-citations to guarantee academic fairness.
11. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?
A. One Cites Himself: A Rise To Fame B. Funny Or Serious: It Serves Your Choice
C. Are You Joking: Funny Titles Are Good D. Joking Paper Titles: Fewer Citations Or More
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要探讨了学术论文标题中包含笑话是否会增加引用次数的一项研究。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“The finding — which has not been proved by peers — suggests that researchers could gain citations by giving their papers amusing titles while some say the evidence is too weak to support the conclusion.(这一尚未得到同行证实的发现表明，研究人员可以通过给论文起有趣的标题来获得引用，而有些人则认为证据太弱，无法支持这一结论)”可知，这项研究的发现并未被同行证实，有些同行认为证据不足，因而研究成果还存在争议。故选D。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“To investigate whether having a funny title could boost a paper’s readership and citations, Heard and his colleagues asked volunteers to score the titles of 2,439 papers according to how amusing they were.(为了调查一个有趣的标题是否能提高论文的读者和引用率，赫德和他的同事们让志愿者们根据标题的有趣程度给2439篇论文的标题打分)”可知，研究者在研究的起始阶段让志愿者对论文标题的趣味性进行评分。故选B。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段“However, papers with more amusing titles also tended to have fewer self-citations, which led Heard’s team to infer that scientists might give funnier titles to less important papers.(然而，标题更有趣的论文往往也有更少的自我引用，这让赫德的团队推断，科学家可能会给不太重要的论文起更有趣的标题)”可知，Heard的团队推断，科学家可能会给不太重要的论文起更有趣的标题，因为这些论文的自我引用次数较少。由此推知，Heard可能会同意自我引用次数较少的文章对作者来说可能不太重要。故选C。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Including a joke in the title of a paper could pay off in terms of citations (引用), according to a study.(根据一项研究，在论文标题中加入一个笑话可以在引用方面获得回报)”及全文可知，文章主要讨论了一项研究，该研究发现，带有趣标题的论文在控制了自我引用次数后，实际上被引用的次数更多。由此可知，D 项“Joking Paper Titles: Fewer Citations Or More(戏谑的的论文标题：引用少还是多)”能概括文章的整体内容，适合作本文最佳标题。故选D。
D
Expecting the worst to avoid feeling bad later is known as “bracing”. It may help them prepare for emotionally challenging situations, particularly in the moments before these situations occur. People brace for the worst while waiting for potentially negative outcomes. Someone might also brace for the worst in anticipation of stressful events like giving a presentation at work.
Some psychological theories suggest that bracing should help. For example, “decision affect theory” proposes that how we feel about a situation is determined partly by comparing what actually happened with what could have happened. Based on this, people should be happy when an event goes beyond their expectations, and disappointed when an event falls behind. Therefore, by anticipating the worst, one can safeguard themselves against future disappointment, as any result is likely to surpass their expectations.
But other psychological theories undermine the idea that bracing will be helpful. It has been theorized and scientifically established – that expectations can powerfully influence reality. There are two key ways that expectations can shape reality.
First, people may behave in ways that fit with their expectations. If you expect to fail an upcoming test or interview, then you might not invest efforts in preparation, which in turn reduces your chances of doing well. Second, people may interpret a situation in line with their expectations. Imagine you believe you are insufficiently qualified for a job you’ve applied for. During the job interview, you’re likely to interpret blank expressions from the interviewer in line with this belief, which could negatively affect your performance. In fact, the interviewer did not want to give anything away.
Drawing together the scientific studies, it seems that expecting the worst is anything but a wise way to prepare for upcoming news or results. It might be better to hold positive expectations than to brace for the worst.
12. What is the second paragraph mainly about?
A. The logic of preparing for the worst.
B. The theory of comparing past and future.
C. The conflict between people’s expectation and reality.
D. The emotions hidden behind anticipating the worst.
13. What does the underlined word “undermine” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Strengthen. B. Determine. C. Oppose. D. Justify.
14. How can negative expectations probably affect people’s performance in reality?
A. By resulting in unnecessary time waste.
B. By promoting people’s ambition and motivation.
C. By giving weight to people’s potential of excellence.
D. By causing less preparation and some misinterpretations.
15. What is the author’s attitude toward bracing for the worst?
A. Unclear. B. Objective. C. Negative. D. Approving.
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。主要介绍了人们对未来可能发生的负面情况进行预期的行为，即“做最坏打算”的心理学概念，探讨了相关的理论和研究，并认为持有积极的期望可能比预期最坏情况更加有益。
【12题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“Some psychological theories suggest that bracing should help. For example, “decision affect theory” proposes that how we feel about a situation is determined partly by comparing what actually happened with what could have happened. Based on this, people should be happy when an event goes beyond their expectations, and disappointed when an event falls behind. Therefore, by anticipating the worst, one can safeguard themselves against future disappointment, as any result is likely to surpass their expectations.”（一些心理学理论认为，支撑应该有所帮助。例如，“决策影响理论”提出，我们对一种情况的感受在一定程度上是由实际发生的事情与可能发生的事情的比较决定的。基于此，当一件事超出预期时，人们应该感到高兴，当一件事落后时，人们应该感到失望。因此，通过做最坏的打算，人们可以保护自己免受未来的失望，因为任何结果都可能超过他们的预期。）可知，第二段主要讲的是做最坏打算的逻辑。故选A项。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段中“Some psychological theories suggest that bracing should help.”（一些心理学理论认为，支撑应该有所帮助。）以及第三段“It has been theorized and scientifically established – that expectations can powerfully influence reality.”（期望能有力地影响现实，这已被理论化和科学地证实。）可推断出此处表示意思的转折，即其他心理学理论“颠覆”（反对）这种看法，故可猜测划线单词undermine为“反对”的意思，与C项Oppose“反对”意思一致。故选C项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“If you expect to fail an upcoming test or interview, then you might not invest efforts in preparation, which in turn reduces your chances of doing well. Second, people may interpret a situation in line with their expectations. Imagine you believe you are insufficiently qualified for a job you’ve applied for. During the job interview, you’re likely to interpret blank expressions from the interviewer in line with this belief, which could negatively affect your performance.”（如果你认为自己在即将到来的考试或面试中会不及格，那么你可能就不会在准备工作上投入精力，这反过来又会降低你取得好成绩的机会。其次，人们可能会根据自己的期望来解释情况。假设你认为自己不足以胜任你所申请的工作。在求职面试中，你很可能会把面试官的茫然表情理解为与这种想法一致，这可能会对你的表现产生负面影响。）可知，消极预期通过减少准备和一些误解来影响人们在现实中的表现。故选D项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Drawing together the scientific studies, it seems that expecting the worst is anything but a wise way to prepare for upcoming news or results. It might be better to hold positive expectations than to brace for the worst.”（综合这些科学研究，似乎做最坏的打算绝不是为即将到来的新闻或结果做准备的明智方式。与其做最坏的打算，不如保持积极的预期。）可推知，作者认为做最坏的打算，不如保持积极的预期，作者对做最坏的打算持有反对态度。故选C项。

【36题详解】
考查动词时态。句意：中国古代的治疗方法已经沿着丝绸之路传播了两千多年，但“一带一路”倡议(BRI)进一步推动了中医药的国际化。分析句子可知，空处作谓语动词，由时间状语for over two millennia可知，此处应为现在完成时，或强调“传播”这一动作一直正在进行，使用现在完成进行时，主语Chinese healing methods为复数名词，所以谓语动词应用原形形式。故填have spread/have been spreading。
【37题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：今年是“一带一路”倡议提出10周年，“一带一路”倡议以连接世界、促进共同繁荣为宗旨，将中医药治病的力量带到更多国家和地区，弥合了不同文化的隔阂，促进了国际合作。分析句子可知，空处引导非限制性定语从句，aims与先行词the BRI之间是所属关系，空处应用关系代词whose引导定语从句。故填whose。
【38题详解】
考查介词。句意：今年是“一带一路”倡议提出10周年，“一带一路”倡议以连接世界、促进共同繁荣为宗旨，将中医药治病的力量带到更多国家和地区，弥合了不同文化的隔阂，促进了国际合作。分析句子可知，此处为动词短语bring…to…“把……带到……”，满足句意要求，所以此处应填入介词to。故填to。
【39题详解】
考查冠词。句意：在布达佩斯，匈牙利中医中为那些因各种健康问题而寻求缓解的患者带来了一线希望。分析句子可知，此处为固定短语a ray of hope“一线希望”，ray是辅音音素开头的单词，前边应用不定冠词a。故填a。
【40题详解】
考查形容词。句意：一位80岁的退休教师约瑟夫·弗雷尼奥就是这样的一个病人，他五年前因为中耳发炎而听力受损。由空后teacher为名词可知，此处为形容词retired“退休的”作定语修饰该名词，满足句意要求。故填retired。
【41题详解】
考查动词。句意：从那以后，他不得不使用助听器——直到两个月前他来到中心，一个“奇迹”发生了。分析句子可知，空处作谓语动词，由句中动词visited可知，句子使用一般过去时，动词使用过去式形式。故填occurred。
【42题详解】
考查动名词的被动语态。句意：来自中国西北部甘肃省的中医专家张海芳给他做了10多次针灸治疗后，约瑟的听力有了明显改善。由空前介词After可知，空处应填动名词形式作宾语，give和逻辑主语Jozsef为被动关系，所以空处应填动名词的被动式。故填being given。
【43题详解】
考查副词。句意：来自中国西北部甘肃省的中医专家张海芳给他做了10多次针灸治疗后，约瑟的听力有了明显改善。由副词修饰动词可知，此处为副词significantly作状语修饰动词improved。故填significantly。
【44题详解】
考查名词复数形式。句意：约瑟夫的儿子Csaba Frenyo一直在与肥胖相关的健康问题作斗争，该中心也帮助了他。根据句意以及issue为可数名词可知，此处应为名词复数形式issues“问题”，表示泛指，满足句意要求。故填issues。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：针灸和草药治疗的结合帮助他在一个月内减掉了9公斤，减轻了背部和膝盖的疼痛。分析句子可知，此处为非谓语动词作状语，结合语意可知，他减掉9公斤，自然而然的结果是减轻背部和膝盖的疼痛，所以空处应用现在分词形式作结果状语。故填easing。

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段话，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Sally’s birthday was approaching, and the excitement that usually filled her heart was now replaced with disappointment and stress. Turning eleven was a big deal, and she had always celebrated it with a grand party surrounded by her friends. However, this year was different. The burden of excessive homework and her parents’ struggling business weighed heavily on her, forcing Sally to make the difficult decision of not having a birthday party, even though it was an event she enjoyed dearly every year.
One day, during break, her best friend, Jane, with a curious look in her eyes, approached. “Are you going to have a birthday party this year?” Jane asked, sensing Sally’s sadness.
“No,” Sally sighed and replied sadly, “There’s just too much going on and my parents are going through financial difficulties.”
She smiled weakly, trying to conceal her immense disappointment and stress, but Jane saw through her pretence (假装) easily. Jane nodded thoughtfully and did not say anything. After the break, Sally saw her talking to one of their classmates, Sarah, secretively. Curious, Sally went over to them, but as soon as Jane saw her, she quickly walked away. Sally was startled by Jane’s strange actions and turned towards Sarah.
“What did she say?” Sally asked.
However, Sarah simply shrugged and walked away with Jane, leaving Sally standing there, feeling left out and anxious.
What is happening? Sally wondered anxiously. Are they keeping something from me?
As Sally’s birthday drew nearer, Jane was often found chatting softly with her other classmates. Whenever Sally went over to them, they would just walk away or tell her that they were talking about a secret which Sally was not allowed to know. Jane has never kept secrets from me before, Sally thought. Her heart fell. Even her friends were distancing themselves from her! She swung between confusion and sadness with each passing moment, desperately trying to figure out what was happening. Why were her friends distancing themselves from her? And what were they hiding?
注意：
1.续写词数应为 150 左右；

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】On the day of Sally’s birthday, she went to school and found her classroom in total darkness. A wave of confusion washed over her as she stepped hesitantly into the room, her heart pounding. She reached for the light switch, but before her hand could find it, a chorus of voices broke the silence. “Surprise!”, her classmates, led by Jane, jumped out from all sorts of hiding places. As the room flooded with light, Sally’s eyes widened in surprise and disbelief. The classroom was decorated with balloons and streamers, a beautiful cake sat on the teacher’s desk, and in the corner, a pile of presents waited to be unwrapped.
Tears sprang from Sally’s eyes and her face broke into a radiant smile. She turned towards Jane, who was grinning from ear to ear. “We knew you couldn’t have a party this year, so we decided to bring the party to you,” Jane said, her eyes twinkling with mischief. The cloud of confusion lifted from Sally’s mind as she realized that her friends hadn’t been distancing themselves from her, they were planning this surprise all along. The sadness that had been looming over her birthday disappeared, replaced with joy and gratitude. As she cut the cake and opened her presents, Sally realized that this was indeed a grand birthday party, just like the ones she used to have.

1840’s Original KAZOO
What is a kazoo? Kazoo (卡祖笛) is a very special wind instrument which hums through the human voice and enhances the sound, similar to the saxophone. Playing Kazoo doesn’t need to learn music theory, recite music scores, or even practice. Kazoo may sound like a saxophone and trumpet. It is often played when a guest is welcomed.
Kazoo History The Kazoo roots date back to Africa where they were originally used for sacred ceremonies, although the exact purpose is still a mystery to all. Later, the Kazoo was used to drive away enemies, not as a musical instrument.
How to play? Kazoo has a simple structure. The flute is big at one end and small at the other. When playing, you should hold the big head in your mouth without blowing, but hum a tune with your throat. The vibration of the vocal cord drives the vibration of the sound film on the flute to make a sound. For beginners, “doo-doo” is a perfect attempt. Remember DON’T BLOW-HUM.
Maintenance It is recommended to keep your Kazoo clean and dry. Excessive saliva (唾液) does not do the tin much good. Also food intake must be considered. Beer, garlic, chilli have a strange effect on the sound, but don’t be anxious. Some people even prefer these effects. From time to time the membrane (薄膜) may need replacing through excessive wear or dampness. When removing the old one, you shouldn’t use any mechanical tools or it would harm its further use. As for substitution, it is a piece of cake as you just need to cut a piece of waxed paper the size of the hole and screw back the cap.
1. What can we infer about the Kazoo?
A. It shares a similar working principle with trumpet.
B. Professional training for the Kazoo is not necessarily required.
C. The Africans introduced it to the musical field.
D. Replacing the membrane frequently can improve its life.
2. Which of the following is suggested for Kazoo players according to the passage?
A. Blow a tune with your throat. B. Have garlic before your performance.
C. Store it in a basement. D. Avoid using scissors to remove the old membrane.
3. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To introduce a unique instrument.
B. To persuade us to buy our own Kazoo.
C. To explain the Kazoo’s cultural value.
D. To stress the importance of using Kazoo properly.
【答案】1. B 2. D 3. A
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇应用文，文章主要介绍了一种独特的乐器：卡祖笛。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Playing Kazoo doesn’t need to learn music theory, recite music scores, or even practice.(演奏卡祖笛不需要学习音乐理论、朗诵乐谱或者进行练习)”可知，演奏卡祖笛不需要学习音乐理论、朗诵乐谱或者进行练习，也就是不需要专业培训。故选 B。
【2题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“From time to time the membrane (薄膜) may need replacing through excessive wear or dampness. When removing the old one, you shouldn’t use any mechanical tools or it would harm its further use.(由于过度磨损或潮湿，薄膜可能需要偶尔更换，拆除旧的薄膜时，你不应该使用机械工具，否则会损坏卡祖笛。)”可知，更换薄膜时不应使用机械工具，否则会损坏卡祖笛。因此，应该避免使用剪刀更换薄膜，故选 D。
【3题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章每段的小标题“What is a kazoo?(什么是卡祖笛？)”“Kazoo History(卡祖笛历史)”“How to play?(如何演奏？)”“Maintenance(保养)”可知，文章的主要目的是对卡祖笛进行简要介绍，包括卡祖笛是什么样的，其历史、演奏方法和保养方法，故选A。
B
Tired of the busy and chaotic life in Las Vegas, Nevada for nearly ten years, my family and I decided to slow things down. We wanted to lead an environmental-friendly life.
None of us felt that this could be accomplished where we were living and we all agreed that a move to the country would be great for everyone.
Before long we set about looking for a home in Yucca, Arizona, a very small town of less than 1,000 people. When I called to inquire about the property, I was informed that there was no electricity available in the area. What? No electricity? I almost denied the idea immediately. But what better way is there to go green? After giving it a second thought, we decided to put in an offer and moved in on Thanksgiving Day.
When we first moved to the property, we did some remodeling (改造) and stayed in our motor home. We were confronted with real challenges at the time. But the frustrations just made us work harder. We slowly got things fixed and moved into the house after 38 days.
While living here for the past four months has been a big adjustment, there are many benefits to living off the grid (电线). I think one of the most educational lessons is teaching my kids the importance of conservation. They used to take water, power and gas for granted. We started taking quicker showers, doing only full loads of laundry, turning off the water while brushing our teeth. In addition, we are also trying to make other changes which include reducing the amount of trash we generate by recycling, growing our own organic vegetables and re-purposing things that we would normally throw.
Overall, going off the grid has been great for our family. I hope that once my kids move out of the house, they will keep the habits that they have learned by living off the grid.
4. Why did the family move to a remote town?
A. Financial debt forced them to save more money.
B. Having a new lifestyle has become a trend.
C. They reached an agreement to lead a green life.
D. They got a discount on a property accidentally.
5. How did the author feel when she knew the property was non-electricity?
A. Satisfied. B. Astonished. C. Relieved. D. Refreshed.
6. When the author’s kids looked back on the life off the grid, they would recall the lesson that_______.
A. saving resources makes a difference B. life is beyond our expectation
C. city chaos will disappear sooner or later D. repair the house before it rains

Including a joke in the title of a paper could pay off in terms of citations (引用), according to a study. The finding — which has not been proved by peers — suggests that researchers could gain citations by giving their papers amusing titles while some say the evidence is too weak to support the conclusion.
Jokes sometimes find their way into academic papers. “One place where we often see humor is in titles, but there’s a very small amount of literature about whether this is reasonable,” says lead author Stephen Heard, an evolutionary ecologist.
To investigate whether having a funny title could boost a paper’s readership and citations, Heard and his colleagues asked volunteers to score the titles of 2,439 papers according to how amusing they were. The scorers assessed humor on a seven-point scale, from zero (serious titles) to six (extremely funny). The researchers then looked for a link between papers’ humor scores and the number of citations they had received, including self-citations by their own authors.
Papers with funny titles were cited slightly less often than those with more serious or straightforward titles. However, papers with more amusing titles also tended to have fewer self-citations, which led Heard’s team to infer that scientists might give funnier titles to less important papers. “Our assumption is that authors don’t cite their own papers subsequently because they don’t think that those are their most important papers,” Heard says.
After controlling for self-citations as a measure of a paper’s importance, the researchers found that articles with funny titles are in fact cited more than those with serious titles. For example, papers with titles that got a score of six had nearly twice as many citations on average as those whose titles got a humor score of four. But some researchers argued that self-citations might not be a good criterion for a paper’s importance.
8. The finding of the study can be best described as _________ according to the first paragraph.
A. a widely accepted belief. B. something surprising.
C. a wholly resisted opinion. D. something still in debate.
9. How did the researchers carry out the first stage of the study?
A. By enquiring about volunteers’ attitudes toward funny titles.
B. By asking participants to divide those titles into seven ranks.
C. By matching the papers’ scores with the volunteers’ likes.
D. By digitalizing the citations into various scores of humor.
10. Which of the following statements will Heard most probably agree with?
A. Including a joke in an essay is by no means a good attempt.
B. Self-citations don’t serve as a good standard for the research.
C. Articles with fewer self-citations tend to be unimportant to the authors.
D. Scientists should stop their self-citations to guarantee academic fairness.
11. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?
A. One Cites Himself: A Rise To Fame B. Funny Or Serious: It Serves Your Choice
C. Are You Joking: Funny Titles Are Good D. Joking Paper Titles: Fewer Citations Or More
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要探讨了学术论文标题中包含笑话是否会增加引用次数的一项研究。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“The finding — which has not been proved by peers — suggests that researchers could gain citations by giving their papers amusing titles while some say the evidence is too weak to support the conclusion.(这一尚未得到同行证实的发现表明，研究人员可以通过给论文起有趣的标题来获得引用，而有些人则认为证据太弱，无法支持这一结论)”可知，这项研究的发现并未被同行证实，有些同行认为证据不足，因而研究成果还存在争议。故选D。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“To investigate whether having a funny title could boost a paper’s readership and citations, Heard and his colleagues asked volunteers to score the titles of 2,439 papers according to how amusing they were.(为了调查一个有趣的标题是否能提高论文的读者和引用率，赫德和他的同事们让志愿者们根据标题的有趣程度给2439篇论文的标题打分)”可知，研究者在研究的起始阶段让志愿者对论文标题的趣味性进行评分。故选B。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段“However, papers with more amusing titles also tended to have fewer self-citations, which led Heard’s team to infer that scientists might give funnier titles to less important papers.(然而，标题更有趣的论文往往也有更少的自我引用，这让赫德的团队推断，科学家可能会给不太重要的论文起更有趣的标题)”可知，Heard的团队推断，科学家可能会给不太重要的论文起更有趣的标题，因为这些论文的自我引用次数较少。由此推知，Heard可能会同意自我引用次数较少的文章对作者来说可能不太重要。故选C。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Including a joke in the title of a paper could pay off in terms of citations (引用), according to a study.(根据一项研究，在论文标题中加入一个笑话可以在引用方面获得回报)”及全文可知，文章主要讨论了一项研究，该研究发现，带有趣标题的论文在控制了自我引用次数后，实际上被引用的次数更多。由此可知，D 项“Joking Paper Titles: Fewer Citations Or More(戏谑的的论文标题：引用少还是多)”能概括文章的整体内容，适合作本文最佳标题。故选D。
D
Expecting the worst to avoid feeling bad later is known as “bracing”. It may help them prepare for emotionally challenging situations, particularly in the moments before these situations occur. People brace for the worst while waiting for potentially negative outcomes. Someone might also brace for the worst in anticipation of stressful events like giving a presentation at work.
Some psychological theories suggest that bracing should help. For example, “decision affect theory” proposes that how we feel about a situation is determined partly by comparing what actually happened with what could have happened. Based on this, people should be happy when an event goes beyond their expectations, and disappointed when an event falls behind. Therefore, by anticipating the worst, one can safeguard themselves against future disappointment, as any result is likely to surpass their expectations.
But other psychological theories undermine the idea that bracing will be helpful. It has been theorized and scientifically established – that expectations can powerfully influence reality. There are two key ways that expectations can shape reality.
First, people may behave in ways that fit with their expectations. If you expect to fail an upcoming test or interview, then you might not invest efforts in preparation, which in turn reduces your chances of doing well. Second, people may interpret a situation in line with their expectations. Imagine you believe you are insufficiently qualified for a job you’ve applied for. During the job interview, you’re likely to interpret blank expressions from the interviewer in line with this belief, which could negatively affect your performance. In fact, the interviewer did not want to give anything away.
Drawing together the scientific studies, it seems that expecting the worst is anything but a wise way to prepare for upcoming news or results. It might be better to hold positive expectations than to brace for the worst.
12. What is the second paragraph mainly about?
A. The logic of preparing for the worst.
B. The theory of comparing past and future.
C. The conflict between people’s expectation and reality.
D. The emotions hidden behind anticipating the worst.
13. What does the underlined word “undermine” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Strengthen. B. Determine. C. Oppose. D. Justify.
14. How can negative expectations probably affect people’s performance in reality?
A. By resulting in unnecessary time waste.
B. By promoting people’s ambition and motivation.
C. By giving weight to people’s potential of excellence.
D. By causing less preparation and some misinterpretations.
15. What is the author’s attitude toward bracing for the worst?
A. Unclear. B. Objective. C. Negative. D. Approving.
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。主要介绍了人们对未来可能发生的负面情况进行预期的行为，即“做最坏打算”的心理学概念，探讨了相关的理论和研究，并认为持有积极的期望可能比预期最坏情况更加有益。
【12题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“Some psychological theories suggest that bracing should help. For example, “decision affect theory” proposes that how we feel about a situation is determined partly by comparing what actually happened with what could have happened. Based on this, people should be happy when an event goes beyond their expectations, and disappointed when an event falls behind. Therefore, by anticipating the worst, one can safeguard themselves against future disappointment, as any result is likely to surpass their expectations.”（一些心理学理论认为，支撑应该有所帮助。例如，“决策影响理论”提出，我们对一种情况的感受在一定程度上是由实际发生的事情与可能发生的事情的比较决定的。基于此，当一件事超出预期时，人们应该感到高兴，当一件事落后时，人们应该感到失望。因此，通过做最坏的打算，人们可以保护自己免受未来的失望，因为任何结果都可能超过他们的预期。）可知，第二段主要讲的是做最坏打算的逻辑。故选A项。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段中“Some psychological theories suggest that bracing should help.”（一些心理学理论认为，支撑应该有所帮助。）以及第三段“It has been theorized and scientifically established – that expectations can powerfully influence reality.”（期望能有力地影响现实，这已被理论化和科学地证实。）可推断出此处表示意思的转折，即其他心理学理论“颠覆”（反对）这种看法，故可猜测划线单词undermine为“反对”的意思，与C项Oppose“反对”意思一致。故选C项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“If you expect to fail an upcoming test or interview, then you might not invest efforts in preparation, which in turn reduces your chances of doing well. Second, people may interpret a situation in line with their expectations. Imagine you believe you are insufficiently qualified for a job you’ve applied for. During the job interview, you’re likely to interpret blank expressions from the interviewer in line with this belief, which could negatively affect your performance.”（如果你认为自己在即将到来的考试或面试中会不及格，那么你可能就不会在准备工作上投入精力，这反过来又会降低你取得好成绩的机会。其次，人们可能会根据自己的期望来解释情况。假设你认为自己不足以胜任你所申请的工作。在求职面试中，你很可能会把面试官的茫然表情理解为与这种想法一致，这可能会对你的表现产生负面影响。）可知，消极预期通过减少准备和一些误解来影响人们在现实中的表现。故选D项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Drawing together the scientific studies, it seems that expecting the worst is anything but a wise way to prepare for upcoming news or results. It might be better to hold positive expectations than to brace for the worst.”（综合这些科学研究，似乎做最坏的打算绝不是为即将到来的新闻或结果做准备的明智方式。与其做最坏的打算，不如保持积极的预期。）可推知，作者认为做最坏的打算，不如保持积极的预期，作者对做最坏的打算持有反对态度。故选C项。

【41题详解】
考查动词。句意：从那以后，他不得不使用助听器——直到两个月前他来到中心，一个“奇迹”发生了。分析句子可知，空处作谓语动词，由句中动词visited可知，句子使用一般过去时，动词使用过去式形式。故填occurred。
【42题详解】
考查动名词的被动语态。句意：来自中国西北部甘肃省的中医专家张海芳给他做了10多次针灸治疗后，约瑟的听力有了明显改善。由空前介词After可知，空处应填动名词形式作宾语，give和逻辑主语Jozsef为被动关系，所以空处应填动名词的被动式。故填being given。
【43题详解】
考查副词。句意：来自中国西北部甘肃省的中医专家张海芳给他做了10多次针灸治疗后，约瑟的听力有了明显改善。由副词修饰动词可知，此处为副词significantly作状语修饰动词improved。故填significantly。
【44题详解】
考查名词复数形式。句意：约瑟夫的儿子Csaba Frenyo一直在与肥胖相关的健康问题作斗争，该中心也帮助了他。根据句意以及issue为可数名词可知，此处应为名词复数形式issues“问题”，表示泛指，满足句意要求。故填issues。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：针灸和草药治疗的结合帮助他在一个月内减掉了9公斤，减轻了背部和膝盖的疼痛。分析句子可知，此处为非谓语动词作状语，结合语意可知，他减掉9公斤，自然而然的结果是减轻背部和膝盖的疼痛，所以空处应用现在分词形式作结果状语。故填easing。

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段话，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Sally’s birthday was approaching, and the excitement that usually filled her heart was now replaced with disappointment and stress. Turning eleven was a big deal, and she had always celebrated it with a grand party surrounded by her friends. However, this year was different. The burden of excessive homework and her parents’ struggling business weighed heavily on her, forcing Sally to make the difficult decision of not having a birthday party, even though it was an event she enjoyed dearly every year.
One day, during break, her best friend, Jane, with a curious look in her eyes, approached. “Are you going to have a birthday party this year?” Jane asked, sensing Sally’s sadness.
“No,” Sally sighed and replied sadly, “There’s just too much going on and my parents are going through financial difficulties.”
She smiled weakly, trying to conceal her immense disappointment and stress, but Jane saw through her pretence (假装) easily. Jane nodded thoughtfully and did not say anything. After the break, Sally saw her talking to one of their classmates, Sarah, secretively. Curious, Sally went over to them, but as soon as Jane saw her, she quickly walked away. Sally was startled by Jane’s strange actions and turned towards Sarah.
“What did she say?” Sally asked.
However, Sarah simply shrugged and walked away with Jane, leaving Sally standing there, feeling left out and anxious.
What is happening? Sally wondered anxiously. Are they keeping something from me?
As Sally’s birthday drew nearer, Jane was often found chatting softly with her other classmates. Whenever Sally went over to them, they would just walk away or tell her that they were talking about a secret which Sally was not allowed to know. Jane has never kept secrets from me before, Sally thought. Her heart fell. Even her friends were distancing themselves from her! She swung between confusion and sadness with each passing moment, desperately trying to figure out what was happening. Why were her friends distancing themselves from her? And what were they hiding?

【答案】On the day of Sally’s birthday, she went to school and found her classroom in total darkness. A wave of confusion washed over her as she stepped hesitantly into the room, her heart pounding. She reached for the light switch, but before her hand could find it, a chorus of voices broke the silence. “Surprise!”, her classmates, led by Jane, jumped out from all sorts of hiding places. As the room flooded with light, Sally’s eyes widened in surprise and disbelief. The classroom was decorated with balloons and streamers, a beautiful cake sat on the teacher’s desk, and in the corner, a pile of presents waited to be unwrapped.
Tears sprang from Sally’s eyes and her face broke into a radiant smile. She turned towards Jane, who was grinning from ear to ear. “We knew you couldn’t have a party this year, so we decided to bring the party to you,” Jane said, her eyes twinkling with mischief. The cloud of confusion lifted from Sally’s mind as she realized that her friends hadn’t been distancing themselves from her, they were planning this surprise all along. The sadness that had been looming over her birthday disappeared, replaced with joy and gratitude. As she cut the cake and opened her presents, Sally realized that this was indeed a grand birthday party, just like the ones she used to have.
