B
Wang Yaping’s dream of becoming an astronaut was inspired by Yang Liwei’s 2003 space flight, which was China’s first manned space mission.
Born in a small village in Yantai Shandong Province in 1980, Wang had been an enthusiastic long-distance runner since primary school, and competed in local sports meetings. 
In 1997, Wang, a high school student, was encouraged to register for the pilot recruitment program by her classmates because she was good at sports and didn’t wear glasses. The 17-year-old had been considering applying to a teaching college, as her parents suggested. 
Given her strong build and ability to stay calm under pressure, Wang passed all tests as well as physical examinations and became a female pilot in China. After four years of systemic education and tough training, Wang eventually learned to fly four different types of aircraft before graduation. 
During her service as a military pilot, she accumulated 1,567 hours of flight time and was involved in major tasks such as the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake relief effort and the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing.
In May 2010, Wang became a member of China’s first batch of female astronauts. The joy of being selected did not last long as the hard training quickly sank in.
In the first year, Wang could not get the top level in the high-G training, during which she had to endure eight times the force of gravity in a spinning centrifuge. The training imitates the environment when the spacecraft takes off, enters orbit and returns. Wang improved her performance by doing extra core-strength exercises every day to strengthen her back and abdominal muscles. She got the top level at the end of 2011. Wang realized her space dream in 2013 as part of the Shenzhou-10 mission.
Over the past two years, Wang has logged in over 6,000 hours of strict training. The most tiring exercise was the seven-hour underwater training session during which she had to wear a special suit that weighed over 100 kilograms to simulate extravehicular activities in a weightless environment.
Wang has become the first female taikonaut to work in China’s Tiangong space station as well as the first Chinese woman to perform a spacewalk.
4. Why did Wang want to become an astronaut?
A. Because she was able to stay calm under pressure.
B. Because she was good at sports and didn’t wear glasses.
C. Because she was influenced by China’s first manned space flight.
D. Because she was advised to register for the pilot program by her parents.
5. From this passage, we can know that ________.
A. Wang won a long-distance runner championship
B. Wang was the first Chinese female to take a spacewalk
C. Wang went to a teaching college encouraged by her classmates
D. Wang thought the seven-hour underwater training session was easy
6. What did Wang do after she joined China’s first batch of female astronauts?
A. She learned to fly four different types of aircraft.
B. She participated in the Shenzhou-10 mission of China.
C. She received four years of systemic education in university.
D. She got involved in the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake relief effort.
7. Which of the following words can best describe Wang?
A Calm and friendly. B. Warm-hearted and creative.
C. Modest and honest. D. Hardworking and determined.
【答案】4. C 5. B 6. B 7. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了王亚平成为中国首位进行太空行走的女航天员的历程。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段内容“Wang Yaping’s dream of becoming an astronaut was inspired by Yang Liwei’s 2003 space flight, which was China’s first manned space mission.(王亚平成为宇航员的梦想是受到2003年杨利伟太空飞行的启发，那是中国第一次载人航天飞行)”可知，王亚平想成为宇航员是受到中国第一次载人航天飞行的影响。故选C。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段内容“Wang has become the first female taikonaut to work in China’s Tiangong space station as well as the first Chinese woman to perform a spacewalk.(王亚平是中国第一位在天宫空间站工作的女太空人，也是第一位进行太空行走的中国女性)”可知，王亚平是第一位进行太空行走的中国女性。故选B。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第七段最后一句“Wang realized her space dream in 2013 as part of the Shenzhou-10 mission.(2013年，作为神舟十号任务的一份子，王亚平实现了她的太空梦想)”可知，王亚平在加入中国第一批女航天员后，参与了神舟十号的航天任务。故选B。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段第一句“In the first year, Wang could not get the top level in the high-G training, during which she had to endure eight times the force of gravity in a spinning centrifuge. The training imitates the environment when the spacecraft takes off, enters orbit and returns. Wang improved her performance by doing extra core-strength exercises every day to strengthen her back and abdominal muscles. She got the top level at the end of 2011. (在第一年的高重力训练中，王没有达到最高水平，在高重力训练中，她不得不在旋转的离心机中承受八倍的重力。训练模拟航天器起飞、进入轨道和返回时的环境。王通过每天做额外的核心力量练习来增强背部和腹部肌肉，从而提高了她的表现。2011年底，她获得了最高水平)”可知，王亚平在落后的情况下坚持额外的锻炼最终获得最高水平，由此可知她意志坚定；根据倒数第二段“Over the past two years, Wang has logged in over 6,000 hours of strict training. The most tiring exercise was the seven-hour underwater training session during which she had to wear a special suit that weighed over 100 kilograms to simulate extravehicular activities in a weightless environment.(在过去的两年里，王亚平已经完成了6000多个小时的严格训练。最累的是7小时的水下训练，期间她必须穿一套重达100多公斤的特殊装备，以模拟失重环境中的舱外活动)”可知，王亚平接受的训练很艰苦，说明她是吃苦耐劳的。综上，故选D。
C
If having to make a choice between reading an e-book and a printed book, which would most people choose? Some would go for an e-book while some still prefer the hard-printed book.
Undoubtedly, e-books do have benefits. Firstly, changes to an electronic publication are relatively easy to make. They are quicker to obtain. E-books are more easily updated. The printed books on many subjects can become outdated very quickly. Secondly, e-books can be easily and quickly kept up to date. You usually get far more than just the e-books. Most e-books are sold with bonuses and related information that usually do not come with the purchase of a printed book. Moreover, they take up less space. Instead of a big library, you can fit literally thousands of books on your computer. It also makes it easier to share this information with families and friends.
For nearly twenty years, additionally, futurists have been predicting the development of printed books. The conventional view has been that digital e-books are on the verge of replacing paper books. However, this has not been the case. A printed book has its advantages too. Firstly, it is an object that can be carried and used alone. It needs no electric outlet (插座), no batteries, nothing. Secondly, e-books will always require some forms of support that the printed book does not need.
I believe that the online publishing has not taken off because people want real books. What is being published online more and more are pamphlets (小册子) and things that really do not need to be in print. These are stuff that people throw away afterward. More often, people do not want to read a book on the computer. What could be better than a paper book? It lasts a long time. These books are designed to last a long time without disappearing.
To sum up, there is no denying that the printed book is still very much preferred over its digital cousins. Reading electronic publications is just not the same when it comes to books. People are still very interested in real books and notebooks.
8. What can we know about an e-book?
A. It will never be out of date. B. It always gives you an added bonus.
C. It can deliver information quickly. D. It has taken the place of printed books.
9. Which statement would futurists probably agree with?
A. Printed books will disappear. B. Printed books can be used alone.
C. E-books have many restrictions. D. E-books have no drawbacks.
10. What is one cause of the failed online publishing?
A. The low demand for book industry. B. The expectations from people.
C. The guidance of policy. D. The desire for the printed books.
11. What does the author think of the future of the printed book?
A. Hopeless. B. Unpredictable. C. Costly. D. Promising.
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. D 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是议论文。文章讨论了电子书和印刷书籍各自的优缺点，并对其未来做出预测。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“They are quicker to obtain(它们更容易被获取)”和“Secondly, e-books can be easily and quickly kept up to date.(其次，电子书可以轻松快速地更新)”及“It also makes it easier to share this information with families and friends.(这也使得与家人和朋友分享这些信息变得更容易)”可知，电子书更新快，获取方便，易于分享。由此推知，电子书可以快速地传递信息。故选C。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段前两句“For nearly twenty years, additionally, futurists have been predicting the development of printed books. The conventional view has been that digital e-books are on the verge of replacing paper books.(此外，近二十年来，未来学家一直在预测印刷书籍的发展。普遍观点认为，数字电子书即将取代纸质书)”可知，未来学家认为未来电子书将取代印刷书籍。由此推知，未来学家可能会同意印刷书籍即将消失这个观点。故选A。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段第一句“I believe that the online publishing has not taken off because people want real books.(我认为在线出版并没有成功是因为人们想要真正的书)”可知，在线出版没有成功的原因是人们对印刷书籍的需求。故选D。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句“To sum up, there is no denying that the printed book is still very much preferred over its digital cousins.(综上所述，不可否认的是，印刷书籍仍然比数字书籍更受欢迎)”及最后一句“People are still very interested in real books and notebooks.(人们仍然对真正的书籍和笔记本非常感兴趣)”可以看出，作者认为印刷书籍的未来是有希望的。故选D。
D
Life can bring us down from time to time. At some point, you may find yourself in what you will consider as your darkest hour. As you try to find your way out of that bad situation, you should try to remind yourself that there is still a reason to be grateful.
If you look at your situation now and compare it with someone else who is in much deeper trouble than you, I am sure that you’ll find something to be thankful for. We all have our share of problems. But complaining about them so much only makes us blind about the fact that there are the miracles that happen around us every day.
When all your needs are provided, then you should be content and happy. If you have a roof over your head, some decent(得体的) clothes to wear, enough food on the table, a comfortable place to sleep, clean water to drink and you are free to make your own choices, then you should be happy and grateful. Many people all around the world, especially those who are at war or those in very poor countries would give anything to be in your conditions.
Even if you lose all your money or possessions and your heart is broken for some reason, as long as you are still alive, then every material thing you have lost can be regained. If you have a few good friends who will be there to support or help you, then be glad because true friends are hard to find. As long as you have someone to love and someone to love you back, then you are a very fortunate person. Remember to be patient and trust that things will get better.
12. What’s the author’s advice for those people faced with difficulties?
A. They should believe in miracles to happen.
B. They should take a grateful attitude to life.
C. They should have confidence in themselves.
D. They should remind themselves to keep calm.
13. According to the author, complaints about our sufferings only result in ________.
A. being teased by others B. taking everything for granted
C. having doubts about self-value D. ignoring the good things in life
14. What can we infer from paragraph 3?
A. People should try to make a difference.
B. People should be satisfied with what they have.
C. People should work hard to gain what they want.
D. People should practise kindness to those in need.
15. What does the author intend to tell us?
A. It’s not so easy to make a living.
B. It’s important to have faith in life.
C. Show appreciation of what we have.
D. Never compare ourselves with others.
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. B 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。作者告诉我们生活中难免会出现不顺利的时候，但我们也要心存感激，感激我们所拥有的事物。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段的最后一句“As you try to find your way out of that bad situation, you should try to remind yourself that there is still a reason to be grateful.”（当你试图想办法摆脱困境时，你应该提醒自己，仍然有理由心存感激。）可知，身处困境时，除了想办法脱离困境之外，还应该提醒自己要心存感激，也就是以心怀感恩的态度面对生活。故选B项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段的第三句“but complaining about them so much only makes us blind to the fact that there are the miracles(奇迹) which happen around us each day.”（过多的抱怨只会导致我们看不到每天身边所发生的奇迹。）可知，抱怨太多，只会令我们忽视每天我们身边所发生的奇迹，也就会忽视生活中美好的事物。故选D项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第三段的第一句“When all your needs are provided, then you should be content and happy.”（当你所有的需求得到满足时，你就应该感到满意和快乐。）可知，你的需求得到满足时，也就意味着你拥有了你想要的，此时你应该感到满意。其中，这句话的“When all your needs are provided”对应B项的“what they have”；“content”，意为“满足的，满意的”，对应B项的“satisfied”（满意的）。B项“人们理应对自己所得感到满意”符合题意。故选B项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。从文章第一段的最后一句“As you try to find your way out of that bad situation, you should try to remind yourself that there is still a reason to be grateful.”（当你试图想办法摆脱困境时，你应该提醒自己，仍然有理由心存感激。）可知，处于困境中时，我们仍会有值得感激的理由。第三段的第二句“If you have a roof over your head, some decent(得体的) clothes to wear, enough food on the table, a comfortable place to sleep, clean water to drink and you are free to make your own choices, then you should be happy and grateful.”（如果你有瓦遮头，衣食无忧，睡得舒服，有干净水喝，自由做主，那么你就应该感到快乐，心存感激。）进一步说明了，当我们有得吃、有得穿、有得住等等的时候，我们就应该对我们所拥有的这些事物心存感激。所以，C项“感恩我们所拥有的事物”符合题意。故选C项。
二、七选五(共10分)
Many students study by reading their notes and textbooks over and over again. But studies show there are more effective ways to help you study smarter.
____16____ Many students know what they are expected to do. Yet many often fail to plan ahead. So they need first to set a reachable target. Break it into pieces and make them happen one by one. It may seem strange at first. But after two weeks or more, it becomes a normal thing.
Don’t just reread. ____17____ Rereading is like looking at the answer to a puzzle, rather than doing it yourself. It looks like it makes sense. But until you try it yourself, you don’t really know if you understand it.
Find examples. Abstract concepts can be hard to understand. It tends to be far easier to form a mental image if you have a concrete example of something. ____18____ On its own, that concept might be hard to remember. But if you think about a lemon or vinegar, it becomes easier!
Dig deeper. It’s hard to remember countless facts and figures if you don’t push further. Ask why things are a certain way. How did they come about? Why do they matter? Psychologists call this elaboration(深究). It’s taking class material and asking many how and why questions about it. ____19____
Practice more. Musicians practice their instruments. Athletes practice sports skills. ____20____ In a study, students took practice tests over several weeks. On the final test, they scored more than a full letter grade better, on average, than did students who studied the way they normally had.
As a teen, Cynthia Nebel studied by reading her textbooks, worksheets and notebooks. “Over and over and over again,” recalls this psychologist at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tenn. Now, she adds, “we know that’s one of the most common bad study skills that students have.”
A. Make a budget and save it.
B. Make a plan and stick to it.
C. The same should go for learning.
D. However, not all can apply to students.
E. In other words, don’t just accept facts at face value.
F. Sadly, reading books and notes repeatedly is common for many students.
G. For instance, sour foods usually taste that way because they contain an acid.
【答案】16. B 17. F 18. G 19. E 20. C

【18题详解】
根据上文“It tends to be far easier to form a mental image if you have a concrete example of something.(如果你有具体的事例的话往往很容易形成一个心里意象)”可知，空格部分应是通过事例来说明“利用事例助学”的效果；选项G. For instance, sour foods usually taste that way because they contain an acid.(例如，酸的食物通常尝起来是这样的，因为它们含有一种酸)承接上文。故选G。
【19题详解】
根据本段标题“Dig deeper(深挖)”以及空格前“It’s taking class material and asking many how and why questions about it.(这需要经典材料并针对这个问题多问几个怎么做和为什么)”可知，空格处应表示看问题不能停留在表面，要深挖；选项E. In other words, don’t just accept facts at face value.(换句话说，不要只接受事实的表面价值)衔接上文并进一步重申本段主旨。故选E。
【20题详解】
根据上文“Practice more. Musicians practice their instruments. Athletes practice sports skills.(多练习。音乐家练习乐器。运动员练习运动技巧)”可知，空格处应表示学习也一样需要多练习；选项C. The same should go for learning.(学习也一样需要练习)承接上文讲述练习对于学习的重要性。故选C。
