1.What is the purpose of the app?

A.    To help people get directions. 

B.    To help people walk more. 

C.    To help people learn some local history.

【答案】：B

【解析】：

Health and fitness apps are always a hit with consumers. Many people are trying to lose weight or get in better shape, and technology can be an extremely helpful tool to support them in these goals. Lots of new apps have been created this year, and one popular one is called “The Walk”. It is designed as a game, but the user must walk around his or her own neighborhood in order to play. The user plays the game the way he or she would play any video game, but as the user progresses, he or she burns actual calories.

The app features a map of a virtual neighborhood. The neighborhood is seen from the top down. As the user walks throughout the day, the app records how much ground the user has covered. The user receives a clue that is part of a story, and is told that he or she must walk a certain number of minutes to move to the next level. Once that task has been completed, the next part of the story will be revealed. Users of this app will be encouraged to take different routes in order to earn more points. The app will also motivate users by keeping long-term statistics. Users can see how many minutes they have walked overall, as well as how many steps they have taken and how many miles they have covered.

2 .According to the talk, why is this app popular?

A.    It is visually attractive. 

B.    It is very cheap. 

C.    It turns exercise into a game.

【答案】：C

3. How does the app motivate users?

A.    By keeping long-term statistics. 

B.    By giving them more games to play.

【答案】：A

4 .What doesn't the app record?

A.    How many miles have been covered. 

B.    How many steps have been taken. 

C.    How many calories have been burned.

【答案】：C

听第2段材料，回答第5至7题。

5.Why does the speaker mention the song?

A.    To explain the difference between cultures. 

B.    To give an example of cultural transmission. 

C.    To recall the memory of the students. 

【答案】：B

【解析】：

Now, let’s begin our sociology class. Have you ever heard the song “Twinkle, twinkle, little star”? You know “Twinkle, twinkle, little star, how I wonder what you are ...” Well, we’ve all heard this song. Where am I going with this? Well, the song is an example of memes, and that’s what we’ll talk about, the theory of memes.

A meme is defined as a piece of information copied from person to person. By this definition, most of what you know, such as ideas, skills, stories and songs, are memes. All the words you know, all the scientific theories you’ve learned and the rules your parents taught you to observe are memes that have been passed on from person to person.

Passing on ideas from one person to another is nothing new. Well, the whole point of defining this familiar process as transmission of memes is that we can explore its analogy with the transmission of genes.

As you know, all living organisms pass on biological information through the genes. Genes are replicators that pass on information about properties and characteristics of organisms. By analogy, memes also get replicated and in the process pass on cultural information from person to person, generation to generation. So memes are also replicators. To be a successful replicator, there are three key characteristics: longevity, fecundity, and fidelity. So, what are these three characteristics?...

6.Which of the following is example of meme transfer?

A.    Telling familiar stories. 

B.    Planting a tree. 

C.    Sharing feelings. 

【答案】：A

7.What will the speaker probably talk about next?

A.    The development of the meme theory. 

B.    The differences between genes transfer and meme transfer. 

C.    The three key characteristics of meme. 

【答案】：C

听此段材料，回答下面8-11个小题。

8 .What is true about central Copenhagen?

A.    There are 1.27 million bikes there. 

B.    There are more bikes than people there. 

C.    There are the most bike thieves in the world.

【答案】：B

【解析】：

Copenhagen is known as one of the most bicycle-friendly cities in the world, with over 450 kilometers of bicycle lanes. In the city center, there are more bicycles than citizens.

In 2012, some 36% of all workers and students in central Copenhagen cycled to work, school, or university. That number increased to 45% in 2015. Copenhagen’s cyclists cover 1.27 million kilometers every year, which is twice as much as subway riders travel. A full 75% of Copenhagen’s citizens ride their bicycle throughout the year. Most offices provide bike parking lots to their employees as well. In addition to personal bicycles, there are a number of free bicycles that anyone can borrow. There are certain places where you can pick up or drop off the bikes when you are finished with them, so someone else can use them. You can usually find an area outside most major subway stations, parks, government buildings, or tourist attractions. The bikes have no locks, but they are painted bright colors and are easily recognized. In many cities, bike theft is a major headache for the police. But Copenhagen has one of the lowest rates of bike theft in the world. This is most likely due to the fact that they are available free of charge to pretty much anyone who wants one. Perhaps it’s not a surprise that people in Copenhagen are some of the happiest and healthiest people in the world. All those bikes surely have something to do with that.

9.What percentage of people in Copenhagen ride bikes throughout the year?

 A.    75%.  B.    45%.  C.    36%.

【答案】：A

10.Where are the free bicycles located?

A.    Outside most offices. 

B.    Around major tourist attractions. 

C.    Near most schools.

【答案】：B

11.According to the talk, what are Copenhagen's citizens like?

A.    Serious and active. 

B.    Wise and in good shape. 

C.    Content and healthy.

【答案】：C

IV．（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5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，选项中有两项为多余选项。

Is Fresh Air Really Good for You?

We all grew up hearing people tell us to “go out and get some fresh air.”  1   According to recent studies，the answer is a big YES，if the air quality in your camping area is good.

  2   If the air you're breathing is clean—which it would be if you're away from the smog of cities—then the air is filled with life-giving，energizing oxygen. If you exercise out of doors，your body will learn to breathe more deeply，allowing even more oxygen to get to your muscles(肌肉) and your brain.

Recently，people have begun studying the connection between the natural world and healing(治愈)．  3   In these places patients can go to be near nature during their recovery. It turns out that just looking at green，growing things can reduce stress，lower blood pressure，and put people into a better mood(情绪)．Greenery is good for us. Hospital patients who see tree branches out their window are likely to recover at a faster rate than patients who see buildings or sky instead.  4   It gives us a great feeling of peace.

  5   While the sun's rays can age and harm our skin，they also give us beneficial Vitamin D．To make sure you get enough Vitamin D—but still protect your skin—put on sunscreen right as you head outside. It takes sunscreen about fifteen minutes to start working，and that's plenty of time for your skin to absorb a day's worth of Vitamin D.

A．Fresh air cleans our lungs.

B．So what are you waiting for?

C．Being in nature refreshes us.

D．Another side benefit of getting fresh air is sunlight.

E．But is fresh air really as good for you as your mother always said?

F．Just as importantly，we tend to associate fresh air with health care.

G．All across the country，recovery centers have begun building Healing Gardens.

【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文，介绍了呼吸新鲜空气和接近大自然有益于身心健康。

【答案】1—5 EAGCD

【解析】

1．E　空格前一句说我们都是听着人们说的“出去呼吸点儿新鲜空气”长大的，空格后一句说答案是肯定的。由此可判断E项“但是新鲜空气真的像你妈妈总说的那样对你有好处吗？”符合语境。

2．A　根据空格后的内容可知，如果人们呼吸的空气是干净的，那么空气中就充满了维持生命的、让人充满活力的氧气。如果在户外锻炼，人的身体会学会深呼吸，让更多的氧气进入肌肉和大脑。所以本段主要说的是呼吸新鲜空气的好处，故A项“新鲜空气清洁我们的肺”符合语境。

3．G　空格后的these places与G项中的recovery centers相呼应，因此G项“全国各地的康复中心已经开始建造康复花园”符合语境。

4．C　空格前介绍了接近大自然、看绿色植物对病人的康复有益，空格后一句说“它给我们一种非常好的内心平和的感觉”，由此可推断出空格处应该表达置身于大自然的好处，故选C项“置身于大自然使我们精神焕发”。

5．D　空格后一句说，虽然阳光会使我们的皮肤衰老并受到伤害，但阳光也能带来有益的维生素D。这应该是呼吸新鲜空气附带的好处，故D项“呼吸新鲜空气的另一个附带好处是阳光”符合语境，D项中的sunlight与空格后的the sun's rays相呼应。
