【解析】
【原文】W: Welcome to the Selmore Public Library. To join the library, you need a membership card. Take your passport or ID card, as well as show your home address, to the information desk. After a period of two years, all readers are required to go to the desk with a paper that has their name and present address on it so the library can keep up-to-date records of where people are living.
There’s no need to register again and there is no charge for this.
If you can’t find the book you want on the shelves, you can book it in advance. If it’s in another library in the city, we can usually get it for you within a week. If someone else has borrowed it, it can take a few weeks. Either way, we tell you by phone when the book can be picked up. We will hold it for you for five days.
Books can be borrowed for fourteen days. Children’s books also have a two-week borrowing period. So do the CDs but DVDs, both children’s and adults’, can only be borrowed for up to seven days. Dictionaries can be borrowed but normally only for one day.
The library opening hours have been changed slightly. Instead of opening late on Wednesday evenings until 8:00 p.m., we will be closing at 6, but we will close at 7 instead of 5:30 on Saturdays and we are going to open on Sunday mornings from next month — 9 to 1. Notices are posted in the library about these.

A
Social media is one of the fastest growing industries in today’s world. A study conducted by the US Pew Research Center showed that 92 percent of teenagers go online daily. The wide spread of social media has changed nearly all parts of teenagers’ lives.
• Changing relationships
High school student Elly Cooper from Illinois said social media often reduces face- to-face communication. “It makes in-person relationships harder because of people’s attention given to their phones instead of their boyfriends or girlfriends,” Cooper said.
Yet, some people believe social media has made it easier to start relationships with anyone from anywhere. Beth Kaplan from Illinois met her long-distance friend through social media. He currently lives in Scotland, but they’re still able to frequently communicate with each other. “I can feel close to someone that I’m talking to via FaceTime,” Kaplan said.
• Wanting to be “liked”
The rise of social media has changed the way teenagers see themselves. The 19- year-old Essena O’Neill announced on the social networking service Instagram that she was quitting social media because it made her unable to stop thinking about appearing perfect online. Negative comments also can do great damage to a teenager’s self-esteem. Teenagers who get negative comments can’t help but feel hurt.
• Opening new doors
However, Armin Korsos, a student from Illinois, takes advantage of the comments he receives over social media to improve his videos on the social networking site YouTube. “Social media can help people show themselves and their talents to the world in a way that has never been possible before,” Korsos said.
41. Who met the long-distance friend through social media?
A. Elly Cooper. B. Beth Kaplan.
C. Essena O’Neill. D. Armin Korsos.
42. What does Essena O’Neill think of social media?
A. It hurts her seriously. B. It promotes friendship.
C. It upsets her sometimes. D. It develops confidence.
43 What is the topic of the text?
A. Teenagers’ attitude toward social media.
B. Social media’s influence on teenagers.
C. A recent study conducted in the US.
D. New ways of self-improvement.
【答案】41. B 42. C 43. B
【解析】

【41题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的第二句“Beth Kaplan from Illinois met her long-distance friend through social media.”可知，来自伊利诺斯的Beth Kaplan通过社交媒体认识了她的远方朋友。故选B。
【42题详解】
推理判断题。根据Wanting to be “liked”部分中的的第二句“The 19- year-old Essena O’Neill announced on the social networking service Instagram that she was quitting social media because it made her unable to stop thinking about appearing perfect online.”可知，9岁的埃塞娜·奥尼尔在社交网络服务Instagram上宣布她退出社交媒体，因为这使得她自己过度沉迷于网络，给她的生活带来了一定的困扰，让她心烦意乱。故选C。
【43题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段可知，社交媒体是当今世界上发展最快的行业之一，美国的一家研究中心进行的一项研究表明，百分之九十二的青少年每天上网．社交媒体的广泛传播改变了青少年生活的几乎所有部分，然后主要从三个方面的改变进行说明。由此可知，本文的主题是社交媒体对青少年的影响。故选B。
B
Jack was born without eyes. He was very lucky as he grew up having other kittens(young cats) to socialize with, and was used to people from the moment he was born. However, when it came time to find the kittens homes, no one knew where Jack would end up.
That's when I got an email from my friend. All she asked was “Do you still want one of the kittens? There's one here with no eyes and no one would like to take him.” Without thinking, I told her that I did want the kitten.
When we first brought him home, Jack stayed mostly in my room. After about a day he had no issues running around and climbing on everything. At times he gets lost in the house, he'll stop. But we just call him and talk to him and it isn't long before he finds his way back to us.
A few weeks after getting Jack, we got a new farm cat named Bear. Jack and Bear have become best friends. It doesn't matter that he can't see. He always knows when Bear is around. He'll run across the yard straight to Bear and wrap his front legs around his neck in a big hug. They run after each other around and wrestle. They'll lie down in the grass together when tired.
Jack is truly an inspiration. I've owned lots of kittens in my life, but Jack is the happiest and most playful. He doesn't feel sorry for himself. He doesn't need pity. I think Jean, owner of Gumbo, another eyeless cat, said it best when she told me that cats don't have disabilities, they have adaptability.
44. Why did Jack come to our home?
A. I liked an eyeless cat. B. I didn't mind whether he was blind.
C. No other young cats kept him company. D. My friend ordered me to take him home.
45. What does the underlined word “issues” in the 3rd paragraph mean?
A. Difficulty. B. Fun. C. Luck. D. Business.
46. Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. Jack likes to play with a new eyeless cat.
B. Jack is good at talking and playing with people.
C. Jack quickly adapts to the new environment.
D. Jack and Bear lie down on the sofa together when tired.
47. What can we learn from the passage?
A. A cat has nine lives. B. All is well that ends well.
C. God helps those who help themselves. D. A good beginning makes a good ending.
【答案】44. B 45. A 46. C 47. C
【解析】
这是一篇记叙文。主要记叙了作者收养了一只天生没有眼睛的小猫杰克，杰克适应新环境的能力很快，而且是作者养过最快乐、最爱玩的猫，他并没有因为自己没有眼睛而感到难过。
【44题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“All she asked was ‘Do you still want one of the kittens? There's one here with no eyes and no one would like to take him.’ Without thinking, I told her that I did want the kitten.(她只是问了一句：“那些小猫里，你现在还想不想要一只？这里还有一只没有眼睛的猫，没有人愿意把他带走。我想都没想就告诉她我想要那只小猫)”可知，杰克来到作者家，是因为作者不介意他是否失明。故选B。
【45题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线词后文“running around and climbing on everything”可知没有眼睛的杰克来到作者家大约过了一天，他就可以跑来跑去，爬上所有的东西都没有困难了，故划线词意思为“困难”。A. Difficulty.困难；B. Fun.乐趣；C. Luck.运气；D. Business.生意。故选A。
【46题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“After about a day he had no issues running around and climbing on everything. At times he gets lost in the house, he'll stop. But we just call him and talk to him and it isn't long before he finds his way back to us.(大约过了一天，他可以到处跑，爬到各种东西上。有时他在房子里迷路了，他会停下来。但我们只要呼唤他，和他说话，不久他就能找到回到我们身边的路)”可知，杰克很快适应了新的环境。故选C。

推理判断题。根据最后一段“Jack is truly an inspiration. I've owned lots of kittens in my life, but Jack is the happiest and most playful. He doesn't feel sorry for himself. He doesn't need pity. I think Jean, owner of Gumbo, another eyeless cat, said it best when she told me that cats don't have disabilities, they have adaptability.(杰克真是个鼓舞人心的猫。我养过很多小猫，但杰克是最快乐、最爱玩的。他并不为自己感到难过。他不需要同情。另一只盲猫Gumbo的主人Jean告诉我，猫没有残疾，它们有适应能力，这是她说得最好的一句话)”结合文章主要记叙了作者收养了一只天生没有眼睛的小猫杰克，杰克适应新环境的能力很快，而且最快乐、最爱玩的，他并没有因为自己没有眼睛而感到难过。可知，从文章中我们能认识到“自助者天助”这个道理。故选C。

In the competition of Olympic weightlifting, the athletes try to lift the maximum (最大的) weight they can. There are special conditions they have to meet in order to compete: body weight, height and strength.
The Olympic weightlifting mainly tests the limit of explosive strength (爆发力). There are not many lifters who really like Olympic weightlifting and the explanation is very simple: they are short of explosive strength.
The weights used for Olympic weightlifting are added in kilograms. The order by which the athletes enter the competition is not general, but it is set depending on the event. Usually the athlete with the lowest weight begins. If he/she is not successful, he/she can try later. There is a maximum of three lifts allowed for every competition.
For many years Olympic weightlifting was only for men. However, now women also take part in Olympic weightlifting. It was at the beginning of the 21st century that women’s competitions entered an organized professional environment. For women, Olympic weightlifting is more difficult because of their different body structure. However, strength training techniques (技术) are widely and successfully used by women, too.
Lots of the athletes who’ve ended up in Olympic weightlifting competitions have started with strength training only to improve their muscle condition and their body power. However, the demarcation line (界线) is not still very clear between power training and Olympic weightlifting. This is how so many lifters have got into Olympic weightlifting competition, even if their purpose was different at the beginning.
48. In the competition of Olympic weightlifting, athletes need to be all of the following EXCEPT________.
A. the right age B. the right height
C. the right weight D. the right strength
49. How many more times can a lifter try if he/she fails for the first time?
A. One. B. Two. C. Three. D. Four.
50. According to the fourth paragraph, ________.
A. men often do better than women in weightlifting
B. women need to use different training techniques from men
C. men can learn the training techniques better than women
D. women used not to be allowed to compete in Olympic weightlifting
51. According to the passage, many athletes began to practice weightlifting because they wanted to________.
A. take part in the Olympics
B. get a reward in the competition
C. strengthen their body power
D. test the limit of explosive strength
【答案】48. A 49. B 50. D 51. C

Some people think going to the gym takes time and effort. It often hurts, and it can be extremely boring. Most weight-related exercises are a combination of sets and reps(几次几组). In order to see any significant change from any exercise, it will probably need to be repeated six to eight times for a minimum of three sets for about three months. Then there's aerobics( 有氧运动). For some, there's nothing more boring than endless miles spent running on a treadmill(跑步机).
But what if there is a way to reduce the boredom of exercise while still getting a good workout?
Luckily for us, there's virtual reality(VR).
“In the past, playing video games was a sedentary( 久坐不动的) experience ， ” says Jo Stauffer of the VR Health Institute, “but VR changes all of that.” Many VR games are played while standing. In order to play properly, the players are forced to move around swinging their arms or using their legs. After an hour of this on a regular enough basis, it's not surprising that many people unexpectedly find themselves a little fitter. There are already a number of virtual reality games which, deliberately or not, result in their player “getting a good sweat on” if played for enough time. For example, there's a music game which forces players to shadow-box(做空拳攻防练习) in order to hit the notes—that's an upper-body workout.
The benefit of VR has been noticed by one company. They want to take the whole experience into the gym. They are making a resistance machine, designed to be used in combination with a VR headset. Players challenge a virtual competitor in a series of games, which results in a 30-minute full-body workout. “However, the cost of the equipment is expensive and there are safety concerns to be worked out,”says J. P. Gownder from the consultancy Forrester.
Although it's early days for those of us who struggle to overcome the boredom of exercise, a new solution could be coming. And a world where a person can exercise and have fun at the same time might be something that many people would want—virtual or not. So don't give up exercising.
52. What conclusion can we draw from the first paragraph?
A. Most weight-related exercises nearly have no effect.
B. You'd better not go to the gym because of the risk of injury.
C. Running on a treadmill won't bring any significant change.
D. Some people think exercising in the gym is difficult and tiring.
53. Compared with video games, VR games ______.
A. bring more fun to play
B. take people less free time
C. are more popular in the gym nowadays
D. are more likely to bring players health benefits
54. What can we know about the resistance machine?
A. It has been widely used in the gym.
B. There are some disadvantages of it.
C. It can result in a 40-minute full-body workout.
D. When using it, people need to have a partner.
55. Which is the best title for the passage?
A. The Boredom of Exercise B. Keep Going to the Gym
C. Virtual Exercise in the Gym D. The Popularity of VR Games
【答案】52. D 53. D 54. B 55. C
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一种既可以获得锻炼的好处还能减少无聊感的新方法——虚拟锻炼。
【详解】1.推理判断题。根据第一段“ Some people think going to the gym takes time and effort, it often hurts,and it can be extremely boring.Most weight-related exercises are a combination of sets and reps(几次几组).In order to see any significant change from any one exercise, it will probably need to be repeated six to eight times, for a minimum of three sets.for about three months.”可知,一些人认为去健身房需要时间和精力，经常会受伤，而且会非常无聊。大多数与体重有关的锻炼是几组练习和重复动作的组合。为了从任何一项运动中看出任何显著的变化，它可能需要重复六到八次,至少三组，持续大约三个月。由此可推知,一些人认为去健身房锻炼既艰难又累人。故选D项。
2.细节理解题。根据第四段第一句““In the past, playing video games was a sedentary( 久坐不动的) experience ， ” says Jo Stauffer of the VR Health Institute, “but VR changes all of that.” Many VR games are played while standing. In order to play properly, the players are forced to move around swinging their arms or using their legs. After an hour of this on a regular enough basis, it's not surprising that many people unexpectedly find themselves a little fitter. ”可知，Jo Stauffer认为过去玩电子游戏是一种久坐不动的经历，“但VR改变了这一切。”许多VR游戏都是站着玩的，为了正确地比赛，玩家被迫摆动胳膊或使用腿。经常这样做一个小时，很多人会意外地发现自己更健康了，这并不奇怪。由此可知，与电子游戏相比，虚拟现实游戏更可能给人们带来健康的好处。故选D项。
3.细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“ However, the cost of the equipment is expensive and there are safety concerns to be worked out, says J.P.Gownder”可知，J,P.Gonder说设备的费用昂贵，且有一些安全问题有待解决。由此可看出对抗机器有一些缺点。故选B项。
4.主旨大意题。通读全文，特别是根据第二段“But what if there is a way to reduce the boredom of exercise while still getting a good workout?”（但是，如果有一种方法既能减少运动的无聊感，又能得到良好的锻炼呢？）及第三段“Luckily for us, there's virtual reality(VR).”（幸运的是，现在有虚拟现实）可知，文章主要介绍了一种既可以获得锻炼的好处还能减少无聊感的新方法——虚拟锻炼，C项“在健身房进行虚拟锻炼”适合作为文章的标题。故选C项。

72. 阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
Many couples who already have one healthy, happy child, are facing a dilemma（困境），that is, the issue of whether to have a second child or not. They have hard jobs and limited time and money, but they want to make sure that their only child does not become a lonely child. So, what are the advantages and disadvantages of having a second child? That is what so many couples are very much concerned about and eager to understand.
One popular saying is that one child means a lonely child. That's why many single- child parents plan to have a second child. They feel guilty about their decision to have only one child, because there are no other children in the family for their only child to play with, which may make the child feel lonely at times, especially during vacations.
Another common argument against having just one child is that an only child may be more spoiled than one with brothers or sisters. If one couple have only one child, the child can't learn to share things with others and is less capable of getting along well with other children than one who grows up with brothers or sisters.
However, in many parts of the world, more and more parents are still choosing not to have a second child because they argue that there are advantages for the child as well as the parents. With just one child, they suggest, there is little chance of family arguments concerned with children. Besides, as an only child in the family, the child can receive more quality time and attention. This often leads to increased self-respect and independence, which can lead to the child being more confident.
Unluckily, there is no simple answer to the question of whether or not to have a second child. Every family is different, and what is suitable for one family may not be for another. The important thing, in the end, is to make a decision that both you and your spouse（配偶）feel confident about.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】【参考范文l】
Whether to have a second child puzzle many couples. Some believe it means being no longer lonely and helps their children learn to share and become sociable. However. Having one child will let the child become more independent and confident due to more quality life and attention to the child. Of course, it’s decided by the couples.
【参考范文 2】
Opinions are divided as for whether to have a second child. To avoid their child being lonely and spoiled, many couples prefer to have a second child. But still more people would rather choose not to do so because it might increase family problems and “more children” means “less quality time and attention”, which in turn makes them less confident and self-respectful. Anyhow, it’s important to make the decision by the parents themselves.
