The Louvre in Paris，France
Probably the most famous Louvre also holds the most famous painting in the world，the “Mona Lisa” by Leonardo da Vinci.Crowds can be found any day surrounding the small，but mysterious painting of the smiling woman.But，the Louvre is much more than a home to the “Mona Lisa”．The Louvre is visited by more people each year than any other museum in the world.
The Barnes Foundation in Philadelphia，America
Just opened in its new downtown location in 2012，the Barnes Foundation is “unique”in that it is a completely reproduced display from one man's private collection.Dr.Albert C．Barnes started collecting art in the early 20th century and collected，among others，the largest number of original Renoir paintings in the world.
The Uffizi Gallery in Florence，Italy
Walking on the marbled floors feels like stepping back in time.The building itself is a beautiful palace—like structure with frescoes(湿壁画) decorating the ceilings and walls.Viewers are bowled over(印象深刻) by the works by Botticelli，such as “The Birth of Venus”．Classic artworks from nearly 1，000 years ago describe religious events of the time.

B
"Did you hear what happened to Adam last Friday?" Lindsey whispers to Tori.
With her eyes shining, Tori brags, "You bet I did, Sean told me two days ago."
Who are Lindsey and Tori talking about? It just happened to be yours truly, Adam Freedman, I can tell you that what they are saying is （a） not nice and （b） not even true. Still, Lindsey and Tori aren't very different from most students here at Linton High School, including me. Many of our conversations are gossip （闲话）.I have noticed three effects of gossip: it can hurt people, it can give gossipers a strange kind of satisfaction, and it can cause social pressures in a group.
An important negative effect of gossip is that it can hurt the person being talked about. Usually, gossip spreads information about a topic—breakups, trouble at home, even dropping out—that a person would rather keep secret. The more embarrassing or shameful the secret is, the juicier the gossip it makes. Probably the worst type of gossip is the absolute lie. People often think of gossipers as harmless, but cruel lies can cause pain.
If we know that gossip can be harmful, then why do so many of us do it? The answer lies in another effect of gossip: the satisfaction it gives us. Sharing the latest rumor （传言）can make a person feel important because he or she knows something that others don't. Similarly, hearing the latest rumor can make a person feel like part of the "in group". In other words, gossip is satisfying because it gives people a sense of belonging or even superiority （优越感）.
Gossip also can have a third effect: it strengthens unwritten, unspoken rules about how people should act. Professor David Wilson explains that gossip is important in policing behaviors in a group. Translated into high school terms, this means that if everybody you hang around with is laughing at what John wore or what Jane said, then you can bet that wearing or saying something similar will get you the same kind of negative attention. The do's and don'ts conveyed through gossip will never show up in any student handbook.
The effects of gossip vary depending on the situation. The next time you feel the urge to spread the latest news, think about why you want to gossip and what effects your "juicy story" might have.
4. The author uses a conversation at the beginning of the passage to _________.
A. introduce a topic B. present an argument
C. describe the characters D. clarify his writing purpose
5. An important negative effect of gossip is that it ___________.
A. breaks up relationships B. embarrasses the listener
C. spreads information around D. causes unpleasant experiences
6. Professor David Wilson thinks that gossip can ____________.
A. provide students with written rules
B. help people watch their own behaviors
C. force school to improve student handbooks
D. attract the police's attention to group behaviors
7. What advice does the author give in the passage?
A. Never become a gossiper B. Stay away from gossipers
C. Don't let gossip turn into lies D. Think twice before you gossip
【答案】4. A 5. D 6. B 7. D
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇议论文。文章讨论了说闲话的影响，分析了人们为什么喜欢传闲话。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一和第二段“"Did you hear what happened to Adam last Friday?" Lindsey whispers to Tori. With her eyes shining, Tori brags, "You bet I did, Sean told me two days ago."”可知，这两段叙述了两个人在说别人闲话的场景。根据第三段中的“Who are Lindsey and Tori talking about? It just happened to be yours truly, Adam Freedman, I can tell you that what they are saying is （a） not nice and （b） not even true. Still, Lindsey and Tori aren't very different from most students here at Linton High School, including me. Many of our conversations are gossip （闲话）. ”可知，说闲话这种事几乎人人都会做。根据“I have noticed three effects of gossip: it can hurt people, it can give gossipers a strange kind of satisfaction, and it can cause social pressures in a group. ”可知，下文主要叙述“说闲话”的三个影响。由此推知，文章开头引用两人的交谈是为了引出“说闲话”这个话题。故选A。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“An important negative effect of gossip is that it can hurt the person being talked about”可知，说闲话的一个重要的负面影响是它会伤害被谈论的人。即：给被谈论的人带来不愉快的体验。故选D。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“Gossip also can have a third effect: it strengthens unwritten, unspoken rules about how people should act. Professor David Wilson explains that gossip is important in policing behaviors in a group. Translated into high school terms, this means that if everybody you hang around with is laughing at what John wore or what Jane said, then you can bet that wearing or saying something similar will get you the same kind of negative attention.”可知，闲话还有第三个作用：它强化了关于人们应该如何行动的不成文的规定。大卫·威尔逊教授解释说，流言蜚语对监督一个群体的行为很重要。换句话说，这意味着：如果你周围的每个人都在嘲笑约翰穿的衣服或简说的话，那么，穿着类似的衣服或说类似的话会让你得到同样的负面注意。由此推知，Professor David Wilson认为闲话可以帮助人们注意他们的行为。故选B。
【7题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“The next time you feel the urge to spread the latest news, think about why you want to gossip and what effects your "juicy story" might have.”可知，下次你想要传播最新消息的时候，想想你为什么要说闲话，你的“有趣的故事”可能会有什么影响。即：在你说闲话之前要三思。故选D。
【点睛】细心审题，直接就题找答案。解答此类试题时，不必通篇细看原文，而应采取“带着问题找答案”的方法，先从问题中抓住关键性词语（题眼），然后以此为线索，运用略读及查读的技巧快速在文章中寻找与此问题相关的：段落、语句，仔细品味，对照比较，确定答案。例如，在第二小题中，考生可以直接根据题干中的“An important negative effect ”直接锁定答案在第四段第一句。
C
Do you ever pull your phone out of your pocket，thinking it is vibrating（振动），only to find that it isnˈt？This phenomenon，which scientists call"phantom（幻觉）phone vibration"，is very common．Around 80% of people surveyed say they have imagined their phones vibrating when they were actually still．
So，what leads to this universal behavior？According to the BBC，the explanation lies in your brainˈs ability to discover signals from the outside world．When your phone is in your pocket，there are two possible states：it is either vibrating or not．Meanwhile，you also have two possible states of mind：the judgment that the phone is vibrating，or that it isnˈt．Ideally，you match the four states correctly．
However，sometimes your brain decides that the results of missing a call are more serious than a"false alarm"．Therefore，you become more sensitive（敏感的） to vibrations so that you donˈt miss anything． This is just like the fire alarm in your home---it can be annoying when it goes off in response to just a tiny bit of smoke．But thatˈs a small price to pay compared to a fire really breaking out because the alarm fails to alert you．Now，you might still ask：why canˈt our brains just make every judgment correctly without being too sensitive to false signals？The answer is that your brain bears a heavy burden every day．"You get a large amount of sensory(感觉的) information thatˈs coming from your eyes，ears and skin，and you canˈt deal with all that information all the time，"Michael Rothberg，a researcher at Baystate Medical Center in Springfield，US，told Live Science．
For example，the rustling（沙沙声）of clothing or the growling（咕咕声）of your stomach may both lead your brain to believe that they come from the vibration of your phone-it is like trying to hear your name being called in a noisy room．
So，perhaps you should just check your phone whenever you think itˈs vibrating．Itˈs not too much trouble to do that，is it？
8. According to this passage，phantom phone vibration ______ ．
A. is common among people with mental problems
B. can measure peopleˈs ability to collect information
C. happens when our brains react sensitively to false signals
D. helps our brains to make very quick and accurate decisions
9. Why is the fire alarm used as an example in this passage？
A. To show us the fire alarm is as sensitive as the phone vibration．
B. To help us understand the cause of phantom phone vibration better．
C. To tell us the phone vibration usually happens when a fire breaks out．
D. To convince us itˈs important to check our phones like checking a fire alarm．
10. According to Michael Rothberg，which is mainly responsible for phantom phone vibration？
A. A noisy background． B. A lack of much attention．
C. A heavy burden every day． D. An overflow of sensory information．
11. What does the author suggest we do about phantom phone vibration？
A. We should always fully believe our own sense of listening．
B. We should just check our phones whenever we think theyˈre vibrating．
C. We should ignore the vibration bothering when our phones are actually still．
D. We should think of the vibration carefully before we make correct judgments．
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. D 11. B
【解析】
本文为说明文。文章介绍了人们产生手机振动的幻觉的原因，并给出了解决办法。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的However，sometimes your brain decides that the results of missing a call are more serious than a “false alarm"．Therefore，you become more sensitive（敏感的） to vibrations so that you don’t miss anything．（然而，有时你的大脑会认为错过一个电话的后果比“误报”更严重。所以，你对振动变得更加敏感，因此你不会错过任何事情）可知，当我们的大脑对错误的信号做出敏感的反应时，电话振动幻觉就会发生。故C选项正确。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的This is just like the fire alarm in your home（这就像你家的火灾报警器一样），this指的电话振动幻觉，由此可推知，这个例子是为帮助我们更好地了解手机振动幻觉的原因。故B选项正确。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的The answer is that your brain bears a heavy burden every day．"You get a large amount of sensory(感觉的) information that’s coming from your eyes，ears and skin，and you can’t deal with all that information all the time，"（答案是你的大脑每天都承受着沉重的负担。“你的眼睛、耳朵和皮肤会产生大量的感觉信息，你不可能一直处理所有这些信息。”）可知，每天脑袋接受信息和处理信息的负荷很重，这是产生手机振动幻觉的主要原因。此题易误选C，C表达的是生活压力大。故D选项正确。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中的So，perhaps you should just check your phone whenever you think it's vibrating．（所以，当你认为手机在振动的时候也许你应该检查你的手机），可知，当我们感觉手机在振动时，我们应该检查我们的手机。故B选项正确。
D
A MENTORING (导师制）program is giving life changing opportunities to Banbury youth.
Young Inspirations was founded two years ago to provide mentoring sessions for students and unemployed young adults aged 11 to 21.
Alex Goldberg, the program’s founder, said： “We set up Young Inspirations because we wanted to give young people experiences which will potentially be life changing and broaden their outlook.” “We try to create work experience opportunities that will really make a difference to our youth. For example, we’ve secured internships (实习）with world-famous firms such as Honda.”
“At a time of funding cutbacks, schools are finding it more and more difficult to offer this kind of mentoring because of that. It is extremely important that these opportunities are available both to help youth with their school work and grades and to give them opportunities which may help shape their futures." Kieran Hepbum, 14, is one of a group of Banbury youth who has benefited from the program so far. In October the Banbury School pupil was accompanied by Young Inspirations staff to Paris where he was an observer at the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization’s (UNESCO) International Youth Forum(论坛).
The event was held for young people from around the world, to seek their views on how the future of youth and education should look. Kieran joined several hundred observers mostly in their
20s and was the only UK school pupil to attend the event. Kieran thinks the trip was a life changing experience. Before we left 1 didn’t quite know what to make of it but when we got there we didn 't stop、it was amazing” he said, “We went to three or four hours of debates each day and then did something cultural each afternoon.”
The main theme of the forum was how youth can drive change in political and public life. It dealt with issues(问题）such as drug abuse, violence and unemployment.
Kieran said： It has really helped me to improve my confidence and social skills as well as my school grades and I was voted most improved pupil at school in August.”
The Young Inspirations mentoring sessions take place each Friday in Banbury.For details visit www. younginsviratiom. com.
12. Why is The Young Inspirations mentoring program set up?
A. To provide youth with unique experiences
B. To train staff for world-famous firms
C. To equip the unemployed with different skills
D. To offer job opportunities to young adults
13. "What does the underlined “that” in paragraph 5 refer to?
A. the shortage of money
B. the lack of support from firms
C. the effect of unemployment
D. the lack of opportunities
14. We can learn from the passage that .
A. the visit to the United Kingdom was amazing
B. the mentoring sessions are held every day except Friday
C. the youth have found a way to solve their problems
D. Kieran has made great progress in many aspects
15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Alex Goldberg, Founder of Young Inspirations
B. Kieran, Banbury School Pupil to Paris
C. Young People Find a World of Opportunity
D. Debates Help Youth with Their Grades.
【答案】12. A 13. A 14. D 15. C

【解析】
这是一篇记叙文。作者嫁到一个中国家庭，对中国的姻亲关系感到非常困惑。文章以一个具体的例子表明了这种困惑。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。表示“需要做某事”，应用need to do结构。其中，to do作宾语。故填to explore。
【42题详解】
考查代词。该空修饰language，应用形容词性物主代词。my native language of English：我的母语英语。故填my。
【43题详解】
考查名词。my ___3___作介词with的宾语，需用名词。in-law意为“姻亲”，是可数名词，根据后面的their可知，该处应用复数形式。故填in-laws。
【44题详解】
考查介词。“他们的村庄”在“浙江省境内”，表示“在……里面”，应用介词in。故填in。
【45题详解】
考查时态。句意：一天晚上吃饭的时候，我大姑姐说，婆婆一整天都在和一个“舅舅”种地。该空作谓语，且“spend the entire day”发生在said之前，即：过去的过去。应用过去完成时态。故填had spent。

考查冠词。句意：一天晚上吃饭的时候，我大姑姐说，婆婆一整天都在和一个“舅舅”种地。该处表示“一个舅舅”，故填不定冠词a。

【48题详解】

I'm sorry to know that you feel upset about having trouble in fit into the class in the new school. One of the reasons, I believe, is that you might be very shy to talk confidently with your classmates. Maybe you are afraid that your classmates will make fun your accent. However, it is natural for you to feel lonely occasionally. As far as I was concerned, with your effort, you can manage to overcome your difficulties. To start with, you may as well learn to speak Mandarin, which can be good understood by all the Chinese. Besides, comparing note with your classmates frequently is a good way for you to make new friends. Last but not least, you had better take the part in more school club activities, that you can express your ideas and know about others. I do hope we can adapt to the new school life as soon as possible. Best regards.
【答案】
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇应用文。文章就如何融入新学校生活提出了一些建议。
【详解】第一处：考查动名词。have trouble in doing sth.意为“做某事有困难”，其中，in是介词，后面接动名词作宾语，故将fit改为fitting。
第二处：考查固定句式。句意：其中一个原因是你可能太害羞了以至于不能和同学们自信地交谈。该题考查too…to…结构，意为“太……而不能……”。故将very改为too。
第三处：考查介词。make fun of sb.是固定短语，意为“取笑某人”，故在fun和your之间加上of。
第四处：考查副词。句意：或许你害怕你的同学们会取笑你。因此，对你来说，偶尔感到孤独是自然的。前后句之间是因果关系。however表转折。故将However改为Therefore。
第五处：考查时态。根据上下文可知，该句应用一般现在时态。故将was改为am。
第六处：考查副词。修饰动词understand，应用副词。故将good改为well。
第七处：考查名词。note是可数名词，前面无限制词，故应用复数，故将note改为notes。
第八处：考查冠词。take part in是固定短语，意为“参加……”，故the多余，应去掉。
第九处：考查定语从句。activities后面是非限制性定语从句，修饰activities，引导词在从句中作抽象地点状语，应用关系副词where引导该从句。故将that改为where。
第十处：考查代词。句意：我希望你能适应新学校的生活。根据上文可知，该句是指上文中的“I”希望“you”适应新学校的生活。故将we改为you。

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Dear Peter,
How are you? I hope you and your family are quite well.
Yesterday I posted a package of green tea to you, inside which is a description for it. The reason why I sent you this is that we Chinese people attach great importance to tea and tea drinking. For us, nothing can refresh us more than making a strong kettle of tea, securing a quiet place and tasting it with our close friends. Besides, whenever our guests come to visit, it is quite a necessity to make and serve tea to show our hospitality.
Our family plant tea and we make the tea product by ourselves using organic growing methods. Green and organic, the tea is rich in nutrition like vitamins or microelements. Tasting it, you will find how nice it is. Meanwhile, I'd like to ask you a favor. I wonder if you could sell the tea for me in your shop. You can sell it at the price ranging from $ 80 to $ 100 for a kilogram. Thank you for your help!
Looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
Li Hua
