On a steamy July day in Bayonet Point, Florida, Gene Work and his brother-in-law, Mark Rouco, were renewing Gene’s lawn. It had grown brown and patchy in the heat, and the homeowners’ association had threatened to heavily fine him if the situation wasn’t improved. The new sod (草皮) was sitting in the driveway on four pallets, but the job was slow-going. Gene, then 40, wasn’t feeling right. He went inside to take a break and collapsed on the couch, clutching his chest. His wife, Melissa Work, called 911 quickly.
Even though he was staring down death. Gene had one thing on his mind: that lawn If the sod wasn’t put down that day, it would die. “While he was having his heart attack, literally in and out of consciousness, he kept begging me to have it put down because he didn’t want it to go to waste,” Melissa wrote in a Facebook post.
Soon Pasco County Fire Rescue arrived and took Gene and Melissa to the hospital, leaving Rouco behind to tackle the yard. Within an hour, he had managed to remove the old grass. He was about to lay the new sod, which he feared would take him well into the night, when two emergency vehicles appeared. Seven men--the same ones who had treated his brother--got out. Gene had told them how badly he’d wanted to get the sod down, so they had returned to help. The job was done in under two hours.
Meanwhile, Gene had surgery to insert stents (支架) in his heart, alleviating a potentially deadly blockage. He’s home now, fully recovered--and enjoying his beautiful lawn.
The Works are still amazed that those EMTs (Emergency medical technician) went above and beyond their job description. “These men,” Melissa told tampabay. com, “saved Gene’s life, and then came back to save his grass. That’s just so awesome.”
4. Why did Gene want to renew his lawn?
A. It was in bad condition. B. He was fined by the association.
C. The sod grew too slowly. D. He disliked the color of the lawn.
5. The seven men (EMTs) returned in order to ________.
A. perform their duties B. help with Gene’s lawn
C. check Gene’s house D. send Gene back from hospital
6. What does the underlined word “alleviating” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?

C. ease. D. expand.
7. Which of the following best describes EMTs?
A selfless. B. helpful.
C. honest. D. devoted.
【答案】4. A 5. B 6. C 7. B

Washing habits have changed over the years. In the 16th century, most people had a bath once a month…if they were lucky. Up until the 1950s, it was once a week. Only just recently has the concept of daily showering become popular. But now, according to the New York Times, things are changing again.
The latest trend is known as “soap-dodging”. It basically consists of washing less, having fewer showers and using less soap. “I just wash my hair once a month now,” said Brett Dawson, a 32-year-old management consultant. “I have just one bath a week,” said Miriam Bayliss, a 28-year-old accountant.
And it appears to be growing in popularity. A poll last year for tissue manufacturer SCA found that 41% of British men and 33% of women don’t shower every day. And 12% of people have a proper wash just once or twice a week. Further research by Mintel found that more than half of British teenagers don’t wash every day-with many opting for a quick spray of deodorant (除臭剂) to mask any smell. But why?
There are a variety of reasons. Some claim that daily hair-washing is unnecessary. Commentator Matthew admitted that he hadn’t shampooed his hair for a decade. Others say they just don’t have the time. In 2008, the chemist Boots reported a 45% rise in sales of dry shampoo - a product that can be sprayed on hair between showers.
And some people want to help the environment. “I limit my showers to about twice a week,” said Nigel Hamerstone, a 42-year-old architect. “The rest of the time I have a sink wash.” he adds. “I believe that I’m as clean as everyone else, and it’s helped get my water consumption down to around 20 litres a day - well below the 100 to 150 average in the UK.”
So, will you be joining the new “washing revolution”?
8. Before the 1950s, how often did people have a bath?
A. Never. B. Every day.
C. Frequently. D. Once in a while.
9. What does “It” refer to in Paragraph 2?
A. Soap-dodging. B. Taking a shower.
C. Washing hair. D. The washing habit.
10. What are the statistics in Paragraph 3 about?
A. Deodorant variety. B. British teenagers.
C. Bathing habits. D. Shower products.
11. Why does Nigel Hamerstone limit his showers to twice a week?
A. To save his time. B. To avoid the trouble.
C. To save water resources. D. To cut the cost of living.
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. C 11. C
【解析】
【分析】
本文为说明文。文章介绍了这些年来，人们洗涤习惯的改变。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。依据Before the 1950s，定位第一段，依据In the 16th century, most people had a bath once a month可知，20世纪50年代以前，人们偶尔洗澡。故D选项正确。
【9题详解】
词义猜测题。依据前后句意“最新的潮流被称为‘躲肥皂’。它基本上包括少洗，少洗澡和少用肥皂。”很容易判断It指代前文的Soap-dodging。故A选项正确。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。依据列举数字的内容：41%的英国男性和33%的女性不每天洗澡。12%的人一周只洗一次或两次……可知，第三段中的统计数字是关于洗澡习惯的数据。故C选项正确。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据题干信息定位到最后一段，依据最后一句and it's helped get my water consumption down to around 20 litres a day可知，奈杰尔·哈默斯通把他的淋浴时间限制在一周两次是为了节约水资源。故C选项正确。
【点睛】做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句，和题干进行比较，再做出正确选择。在做推理判断题时不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实，要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断。如第1小题，要求判断出20世纪50年代以前，人们多久洗一次澡？根据题干中的Before the 1950s，定位到第一段，根据In the 16th century, most people had a bath once a month可知，20世纪50年代以前，人们偶尔洗澡。A. Never从不；B. Every day每天；C. Frequently经常；D. Once in a while偶尔。故D选项正确。
D
Like infectious diseases, ideas in the academic world are epidemic (传染的). But why some travel far and wide while equally good ones has been a mystery? Now a team of computer scientists has used an epidemiological model to simulate (模仿) how ideas move from one academic institution to another. The model showed that ideas originating at famous institutions caused bigger “epidemics” than equally good ideas from less famous places, explains Allison Morgan, a computer scientist at the University of Colorado Boulder.
“This implies that where an idea is born shapes how far it spreads,” says senior author Aaron Clauset.
Not only is this unfair— “it reveals a big weakness in how we’re doing science,” says Simon DeDeo, a professor of social and decision sciences at Carnegie Mellon university, who was not involved in the study. “There are many highly trained people with good ideas who do not end up at top institutions. They are producing good ideas, and we know those ideas are getting lost,” DeDeo says. “Our science, our scholarships, is not as good because of this.”
The Colorado researchers first looked at how five big ideas in computer science spread to new institutions. They found that hiring a new faculty member accounted for this movement a little more than a third of the time--and in 81 percent of those cases, transmissions took place from higher – to lower-prestige (声望) universities. Then the team simulated the spread of ideas using an infectious disease model and found that the size of an idea “epidemic” depended on the prestige of the originating institution.
The researchers’ model suggests that there “may be a number of quite good ideas that originate in the middle of the pack, in terms of universities.” Clauset says. There is a lot of good work coming out of less famous places. he says: “You can learn a huge amount from it, and you can learn things that other people don’t know because they’re not even paying attention.”
12. How did the scientists carry out their research?
A. By making use of a model. B. By analyzing previous data.
C. By comparing different results. D. By interviewing different people.
13. According to Simon DeDeo, What can we infer in Paragraph 3?
A. All the people with higher education have good ideas.
B. Some scholarships aren’t given to the right people.
C. Most good ideas come from not-so-great institutions.
D. People with higher education should work in top institutions.
14. What is the fourth paragraph mainly about?
A. The causes of the results. B. The importance of the research.
C. The findings of the research. D. The characteristics of big ideas.
15. What may be the best title for the passage?
A. Spread good ideas as far as possible.
B. Best ideas come from top institutions.
C. Save good ideas from less famous places.
D. Ideas from top institutions travel farther.
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. C 15. D
【解析】
本文为说明文。文章介绍了一种社会现象——顶级机构的想法传播得更远。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。依据第一段a team of computer scientists has used an epidemiological model to simulate…可知，科学家们利用模型进行研究。故A选项正确。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。第三段Simon Dedeo说：“这揭示了我们在科学方面的巨大弱点。”“很多受过高等教育的人都有很好的想法，但最终却没有进入顶尖机构。他们正在产生好的想法，我们知道这些想法正在消失，”；“由于这一点，我们的科学，我们的奖学金没有那么好。”由此可推断，有些奖学金并没有给对的人。故B选项正确。
【14题详解】
段落大意题。依据第四段They found thatThen the team simulated the spread of ideasand found that。由两处found that可知，该段主要呈现研究的结果。故C选项正确。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。文章第一段提出一种社会现象，学术思想像传染病一样会流行，但为什么一些传播的远而另一些却不？后文通过流行病学建模实验来说明，来自名家机构的思想要比来自不太著名地方的同样好的思想更加的“流行”。因此D项“顶级机构的想法传播得更远”适合做最佳标题。故D选项正确。
第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选顼中有两项为多余选项。
Finding time for yourself
Few people, these days would disagree with the theory that it’s vital to take time for yourself. Creating some space for enjoyment and restoration each day or at least every week, is a win-win proposition. It’ll make you both happier and more effective in fulfilling your responsibilities at work and home. ____16____. Here are some useful suggestions.
Don’t wait until it feels right. ____17____, so you want to tell yourself that you’ll only relax once everything is under control. But since both work and family life generate an infinite number of to-dos, that strategy is doomed (注定要失败的). As time-management writer Laura Vanderkam points out, it’s far more useful to learn to tolerate the discomfort of knowing your email inbox is filling up, or that the living room is still a pigsty.
___18___. It’s all too easy to fill ‘me time’ with things you think you should enjoy, above all exercise. If you genuinely love such activities, they’re perfect. But if the truth is that you don’t, you’ll only get angry. ____19____, even when the person doing the telling is ourselves. Make sure at least a small part of your week is spent doing something you can honestly say you enjoy for itself.
Pay attention to good feelings. Once you do get some restorative time, borrow a Buddhist technique for making it count: when you realize you’re enjoying yourself, spend half a minute consciously paying attention to the feelings of pleasure. ____20____.
A. Choose true enjoyment
B. We hate being told what to do
C. Make commitments in advance
D. It’s unpleasant to have unfinished tasks bother you
E. So, you’ll often find that those feelings increase as a result
F. Making a plan in advance can create the space you need for your own happiness
G. Making sure you actually get a moment to yourself requires a shift in perspective
【答案】16. G 17. D
18. A 19. B
20. E
【解析】
【分析】
本文为议论文。文章论述了为什么给自己留点时间是很重要的这个理论，并提供了一些有用的建议。
【16题详解】
考查上下文及句意理解。根据上文Few people, these days would disagree with the theory that it's vital to take time for yourself.（现在很少有人会不同意为自己留点时间是很重要的这个理论）及下文Here are some useful suggestions.（这里有一些有用的建议）可知，G项Making sure you actually get a moment to yourself requires a shift in perspective（要想真正拥有属于自己的时间，你需要转变观念）符合此处语境。故G选项正确。
【17题详解】
考查上下文及句意理解。根据下文so you want to tell yourself that you'll only relax once everything is under control.（因此，你想告诉自己，只有在一切都得到控制之后，你才会放松）可知，D项It's unpleasant to have unfinished tasks bother you（有未完成的任务困扰你是不愉快的）符合此处语境。故D选项正确。
【18题详解】
考查上下文及句意理解。根据下文It's all too easy to fill ‘me time’ with things you think you should enjoy, above all exercise. If you genuinely love such activities, they’re perfect.（用你认为应该享受的事情来填满“自我时间”太容易了，尤其是运动。如果你真的喜欢这样的活动，它们就是完美的）可知，此处主要讲要选择真正的享受。故A选项正确。
【19题详解】
考查上下文及句意理解。根据下文even when the person doing the telling is ourselves.（即使说话的人是我们自己的时候）可知，B项We hate being told what to do（我们讨厌别人告诉我们该做什么）符合此处语境。故B选项正确。
【20题详解】
考查上下文及句意理解。根据上文when you realize you’re enjoying yourself, spend half a minute consciously paying attention to the feelings of pleasure.（当你意识到你在享受自己时，花半分钟有意识地关注快乐的感觉）可知，E项So, you’ll often find that those feelings increase as a result（所以，你会经常发现这些感觉会因此而增加）符合此处语境。故E选项正确。
【点睛】七选五题型主要考查上下文的理解与推断，虽然文章整体难度一般低于阅读理解，但是却给很多同学造成了很大的心理障碍。七个选项中选五个，比四个选项中选一个，感觉干扰性更大，很大同学在做这个题目时，总有一种眼花缭乱、心烦气躁的感觉，致使往往正确率不高。在这里提醒同学们，首先要克服心理障碍，同时要注意方式方法。其次，注意设空前后的句子，因为这些句子之间是顺承和联系的，所有一定要联系和理解上下文的语境。例如第5小题，根据本段段首句Pay attention to good feelings.（注意良好的感觉）及上文when you realize you’re enjoying yourself, spend half a minute consciously paying attention to the feelings of pleasure.（当你意识到你在享受自己时，花半分钟有意识地关注快乐的感觉）可知，E项So, you’ll often find that those feelings increase as a result（所以，你会经常发现这些感觉会因此而增加）符合此处语境。其中选项中的feelings与原文中的feelings相对应。故E选项正确。

Dear Jack,
I am writing to ask for your help. I am going to organizing a money-raising project for poor students. However, I am at a loss about what to start. I don’t know what type of people was most likely to donate. Is it a good idea to visit to local business people? Besides, what is best way to let the public know your ideas? Last but not least, how can I guarantee that the money raising will be sent to the students who really needs it?
Considering that you have much experience in organizing similarly projects, I am wondering if you could give me some suggestion. I am looking forward to your early reply.
Yours,
Li Hua
【答案】
【解析】
【分析】
本为应用文。李华打算为贫困学生组织一个筹款项目。然而，他不知道该从哪里开始。为此给杰克写信寻求建议。
【详解】第一处：考查非谓语动词。be going to do“打算做……”。故organizing改为organize。
第二处：考查疑问词。根据语境可知，此处指“然而，我不知道该如何开始。”what“什么”，how“如何”。故what改how。
第三处：考查时态。此处描述的是目前的状况，应使用一般现在时。故was改为is。
第四处：考查动词。此处visit是动词词性，属于及物动词，可以直接接宾语，to明显多余。故去掉visit后的to。
第五处：考查冠词。形容词最高级前要加定冠词。故best前加the。
第六处：考查代词。根据语境可知，此处指“让公众知道我的想法”。故your改为my。
第七处：考查非谓语动词。此处与money是逻辑动宾关系，应使用过去分词做定语，表被动。故raising改raised。
第八处：考查主谓一致。此处先行词是students，定语从句的谓语动词应与先行词保持主谓一致。故needs改为need。
第九处：考查形容词。此处修饰名词projects，意为“类似的项目”，应使用形容词修饰。故similarly改为similar。
第十处：考查名词。根据some可知，此处应使用可数名词suggestion的复数形式。故suggestion改为suggestions。

【答案】Dear David,
I am very happy to know that you are coming to visit my city next Wednesday.
Having kept in touch with each other by writing for years, I can’t wait to see you. However, I am sorry to tell you that I can’t meet you at the airport that day. My sister fell ill and was taken to the hospital, so I have to take care of her there. But don’t worry. I’ve asked my best friend, Li Lei, to pick you up and take you to the booked hotel instead. What’s more, I have recommended some places of interest in the attachment, which I think you may be interested in. Of course you can also visit other tourist attractions by yourself. Meanwhile, I will call you the moment I am available. I’m expecting your arrival and hope you will enjoy your stay here sincerely.
Yours,
Li Hua

第4步：连句成文，注意使用恰当的连词进行句子之间的衔接与过渡，书写一定要规范清晰，保持整洁美观的卷面是非常重要的。
【点睛】范文内容完整，语言规范，语篇连贯，词数适当。作者在范文中使用了较多高级表达方式，如宾语从句However, I am sorry to tell you that I can’t meet you at the airport that day.非谓语动词Having kept in touch with each other by writing for years, I can’t wait to see you.；同位语I’ve asked my best friend, Li Lei, to pick you up and take you to the booked hotel instead. 定语从句What’s more, I have recommended some places of interest in the attachment, which I think you may be interested in.时间状语从句Meanwhile, I will call you the moment I am available.全文中没有中国式英语的句式，显示了很高的驾驭英语的能力。另外，过渡词及短语however，so，but，What’s more，of course，meanwhile的使用，使得文章思路清晰、层次分明，上下句转换自然，为文章增色添彩。
