Age has never been a problem for Thessalonika Arzu-Embry. After all, she’s already got her master’s degree.
The North Chicago-area girl started homeschooling at the age of 4. She began having an influence on others soon after. When she was 6 years old, she was an inspirational (鼓舞人心的) speaker at an organization called Tabitha House Community Service, a shelter for people who were forced to leave their homes due to the situations such as earthquakes, flood and other natural disasters.
At the age of 11, she graduated from high school and then earned her bachelor’s degree in psychology in 2013. She completed those classes online as she was traveling for leadership meetings.
She doesn’t stop there, though. The girl plans to focus on aviation psychology (航空心理学) for her further study, a decision inspired by her father who is a pilot. She grew up around airplanes and took flights all the time. Her goal is to use it to determine whether pilots are dealing with problems that could have deadly results once the plane takes off — a topic that has been in the news lately. For her, it’s a mix of two of her interests.
In her free time, Thessalonika enjoys playing tennis, swimming and being active in her youth group. She also has three self-published books, which are on her site. Jump the Education Barrier is written to help students finish college, and In the Future aims to help business owners deal with trends. Her third book The Genius Race has a wider appeal. It is designed to help people to be geniuses in various areas of life.
4. What can we know about Thessalonika from the passage?
A. She majored in science and technology.
B. She gained her master’s degree at the age of 11.
C. She started homeschooling when she was 6 years old.
D. She got her bachelor’s degree through online courses.
5. What is Thessalonika’s next plan according to the passage?
A. Majoring in aviation psychology.
B. Being active in her youth group.
C. Making inspiring speeches for leadership meetings.
D. Writing another book to help people to be geniuses.
6. Why does Thessalonika write the book Jump the Education Barrier?
A. To help people to be successful.
B. To raise concern about psychology.
C. To share her own experience with others.
D. To give students a hand to complete college.
7. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A. Homeschooling
B. To Be a Genius
C. Three Published Books
D. The Story of Thessalonika
【答案】4. D 5. A 6. D 7. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。讲述了北芝加哥一位名叫Thessalonika Arzu-Embry的女孩的学习生涯以及她的学习成就。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“At the age of 11, she graduated from high school and then earned her bachelor’s degree in psychology in 2013. She completed those classes online as she was traveling for leadership meetings. (11岁时，她从高中毕业，并于2013年获得心理学学士学位。她在参加领导会议的途中在网上完成了这些课程。)”可知，她通过在线课程获得学士学位。故选D项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“She doesn’t stop there, though. The girl plans to focus on aviation psychology(航空心理学) for her further study, a decision inspired by her father who is a pilot. (不过，她并没有就此止步。女孩计划继续学习航空心理学，这个决定是受身为飞行员的父亲的启发。)”可知，她的下一个计划是主修航空心理学专业。故选A项。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Jump the Education Barrier is written to help students finish college, and In the Future aims to help business owners deal with trends. (《跨越教育障碍》一书旨在帮助学生完成大学学业，而《在未来》一书旨在帮助企业主应对趋势。)”可知，她写这本书是为了帮助学生完成大学学业。故选D项。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其第一段“Age has never been a problem for Thessalonika Arzu-Embry. After all, she’s already got her master’s degree. (对塞萨洛尼卡·阿祖-恩布里来说，年龄从来都不是问题。毕竟，她已经拿到硕士学位了。)”可知，本文主要介绍了Thessalonika的不平凡的学习经历以及她的成就。D项“The Story of Thessalonika”符合文章主题，适合做标题。故选D项。
C
There’s nothing like having a best friend forever—that person who you can have fun with and talk to. July 30 is the International Day of Friendship. Maybe you can keep an eye out for a new friend to get to know. And while we’re talking about friends, don’t think humans are the only ones who know a thing or two about friendship. Check out these friendly animals in nature who help each other out.
An elephant and an olive baboon (东非狒狒) can be friends? It sounds strange, but it’s true. You can find this pair of friends in the grasslands of Africa. This unusual pair helps each other out like any good friends would. The elephant uses its front teeth to make a waterhole in the sand, and it lets the olive baboon have a drink from this “well” when it gets thirsty. In return, the baboon tells the elephant when danger is near. It climbs up to the treetops and calls out so its friend knows that it’s time to move on.
In the sea world, the goby fish (虾虎鱼) and the shrimp (虾) are well-known for their friendship. While the shrimp provides a home for the goby fish, the goby fish provides a guidance service for the almost blind shrimp. You see, the goby has great eyesight and stays close to the shrimp. As the shrimp moves around, the shrimp is feeling the goby with its antenna (须) from time to time to make sure it’s still there. If the goby senses danger, she will return to the home and the shrimp will follow.
The langur monkey has a very good friendship with the chital deer (花鹿). While the langur monkey eats in a tree, it drops leaves to the ground. This is good for the deer because sometimes there’s not much food. The deer will follow the monkey and eat whatever food is dropped. And in return, when the monkey comes down from the tree, the deer will put its foot down heavily to tell the monkey if it senses danger.
8. How can an elephant help an olive baboon?
A. By offering a shelter. B. By digging a waterhole.
C. By guiding the way. D. By warning it of danger.
9. What does a shrimp do when moving around in the sea?
A. It never swims far from its home. B. It goes home from time to time.
C. It stays close to the goby fish. D. It uses its antenna for directions.
10. What do the olive baboon and the chital deer have in common?
A. They have good eyesight. B. They have a good sense of smell.
C. They warn their friends of danger. D. They live together with their friends.
11. What would be the best title for the text?
A Best friends forever B. The International Day of Friendship
C. Love me, love my dog D. Friendships in the animal world
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了大自然中互相帮助的友好动物。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The elephant uses its front teeth to make a waterhole in the sand, and it lets the olive baboon have a drink from this “well” when it gets thirsty.(大象用它的门牙在沙子上挖一个水坑，当它口渴的时候，它让东非狒狒从这口“井”里喝水。)”可知，一只大象通过挖个水坑，让狒狒喝水，以此来帮助东非狒狒。故选B。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“You see, the goby has great eyesight (视力) and stays close to the shrimp. As the shrimp moves around, the shrimp is feeling the goby with its antenna(须) from time to time to make sure it's still there. If the goby senses danger, she will return to the home and the shrimp will follow.(你看，虾虎鱼有很好的视力，且离虾保持很近。当虾四处移动时，虾不时用它的须感觉到虾虎鱼，以确保它还在那里。如果虾虎鱼感觉到危险，它会回到住所，虾也会跟着。)”可知，当虾在海里游动时，它离虾虎鱼保持很近。故选C。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“In return, the baboon tells the elephant when danger is near. It climbs up to the treetops and calls out so its friend knows that it’s time to move on.(作为回报，当危险来临的时候，狒狒会告诉大象。它爬上树梢大声叫喊，让它的朋友知道是时候离开了。)”和最后一段中的“And in return, when the monkey comes down from the tree, the deer will put its foot down heavily to tell the monkey if it senses danger.(作为回报，当猴子从树上下来的时候，鹿会重重地放下它的脚，来告诉猴子它是否感觉到危险。)”可知，东非狒狒和花鹿的共同点是，它们会警告它们的朋友有危险。故选C。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“Check out these friendly animals in nature who help each other out.( 看看这些在自然界中互相帮助的友好动物吧。)”以及下文所讲述的三对动物之间的友谊可知，本文介绍了动物界的友谊，故D项“Friendships in the animal world(动物世界的友谊)”可作本文的最佳标题。故选D。
D
Music is not just a set of sounds and rhythms. Its influence on brain is much deeper than any other human experience. Keep on reading to know all those amazing power of music.
A recent study suggests that preterm (早产) babies appear to experience less pain and feed more when listening to music. Experts led by Dr. Manoj Kumar of the University of Alberta, Canada, found that music had a beneficial effect on reducing pain for preterm babies experiencing painful medical tests. It also appeared to benefit full-term babies during operations.
Many people experiencing brain damage have speech and movement-related problems. Music can help recover from brain injuries. As a different and effective treatment, doctors often advise such patients to listen to good music to improve the parts of the brain responsible for these two functions. When people with neurological (神经的) disorders hear a musical beat, it helps them to regain a balanced walk.
Though music cannot make deafness disappear, it really can stave off the loss of hearing. There was an experiment involving 163 people where 74 were musicians. Participants were asked to pass some listening tests. Musicians heard the sounds better than non-musicians, and this difference gets clearer with age. This means that a 70-year-old musician hears better than a 50-year-old non-musician, even in a noisy environment.
Besides, music mends a broken heart. It is not about a thrown-away love, but about a heart attack. The matter is that music can help people recover from a heart attack or heart operation by reducing blood pressure, slowing down the heartbeat rate,and reducing anxiety. Listening to the quality music produces positive emotions, improves the movement of blood, and expands blood vessels, thus, promoting quick recovery of the whole cardiovascular(心血管的) system.
12. How does music affect preterm babies?
A. It helps reduce their pain.
B. It helps develop their potential in music.
C. It helps improve their hearing systems.
D. It helps repair their neurological systems.
13. What does the underlined phrase “stave off” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Cause. B. Prevent.
C. Predict. D. Increase.
14. Why can music mend a broken heart?
A. It can help patients recover in a slow way.
B. It helps make a person feel optimistic about life..
C. It can help people prevent diseases caused by anxiety
D. It has a positive effect on human body systems’ work.
15. What does the passage mainly talk about?
A. Who can benefit from music?
B. When should we listen to music best?
C. How does music affect our mind and body?
D. How can we choose music good for our healthy?
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了音乐对人的身心的积极影响。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“A recent study suggests that preterm (早产的) babies appear to experience less pain and feed more when listening to music.（最近的一项研究表明，早产儿在听音乐时似乎疼痛更少，食量更大）”可知，音乐有助于减轻早产儿的痛苦。故选A项。
【13题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第四段“There was an experiment involving 163 people where 74 were musicians. Participants were asked to pass some listening tests. Musicians heard the sounds better than non-musicians, and this difference gets clearer with age. This means that a 70-year-old musician hears better than a 50-year-old non-musician, even in a noisy environment.（有一个实验涉及163人，其中74人是音乐家。参与者被要求通过一些听力测试。音乐家比非音乐家更能听到声音，这种差异随着年龄的增长而变得更加明显。这意味着一个70岁的音乐家比一个50岁的非音乐家的听力更好，即使在嘈杂的环境中）”可知，音乐有助于阻止听力的丧失。再由划线短语后的the loss of hearing（听力的丧失）可知，划线短语stave off意义为“阻止”。故选B项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“The matter is that music can help people recover from a heart attack or heart operation by reducing blood pressure, slowing down the heartbeat rate, and reducing anxiety. Listening to the quality music produces positive emotions, improves the movement of blood, and expands blood vessels, thus, promoting quick recovery of the whole cardiovascular(心血管的) system.（重要的是，音乐可以帮助人们从心脏病发作或心脏手术中恢复，通过降低血压，减慢心跳频率，减少焦虑。听高质量的音乐能产生积极的情绪，促进血液运动，扩张血管，从而促进整个心血管系统的快速恢复）”可知，音乐对人体系统的工作有积极的影响。故选D项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文尤其是第一段“Keep on reading to know all those amazing powers of music.(继续阅读，了解音乐的神奇力量。)”；第二段第一句“A recent study suggests that preterm (早产的) babies appear to experience less pain and feed more when listening to music.(最近的一项研究表明，早产婴儿听音乐时疼痛感减轻，进食量增加。)”；第三段第二句“Music can help recover from brain injuries.( 音乐有助于脑损伤的康复。)”；第四段第一句“Though music cannot make deafness disappear, it really can stave off the loss of hearing.(虽然音乐不能使耳聋消失，但它确实可以阻止听力的丧失。)”；第五段第一句“Besides, music mends a broken heart. (此外，音乐能抚平破碎的心。)”可知，本文主要说明音乐对人身体和心理的积极影响。故选C项。

Age has never been a problem for Thessalonika Arzu-Embry. After all, she’s already got her master’s degree.
The North Chicago-area girl started homeschooling at the age of 4. She began having an influence on others soon after. When she was 6 years old, she was an inspirational (鼓舞人心的) speaker at an organization called Tabitha House Community Service, a shelter for people who were forced to leave their homes due to the situations such as earthquakes, flood and other natural disasters.
At the age of 11, she graduated from high school and then earned her bachelor’s degree in psychology in 2013. She completed those classes online as she was traveling for leadership meetings.
She doesn’t stop there, though. The girl plans to focus on aviation psychology (航空心理学) for her further study, a decision inspired by her father who is a pilot. She grew up around airplanes and took flights all the time. Her goal is to use it to determine whether pilots are dealing with problems that could have deadly results once the plane takes off — a topic that has been in the news lately. For her, it’s a mix of two of her interests.
In her free time, Thessalonika enjoys playing tennis, swimming and being active in her youth group. She also has three self-published books, which are on her site. Jump the Education Barrier is written to help students finish college, and In the Future aims to help business owners deal with trends. Her third book The Genius Race has a wider appeal. It is designed to help people to be geniuses in various areas of life.
4. What can we know about Thessalonika from the passage?
A. She majored in science and technology.
B. She gained her master’s degree at the age of 11.
C. She started homeschooling when she was 6 years old.
D. She got her bachelor’s degree through online courses.
5. What is Thessalonika’s next plan according to the passage?
A. Majoring in aviation psychology.
B. Being active in her youth group.
C. Making inspiring speeches for leadership meetings.
D. Writing another book to help people to be geniuses.
6. Why does Thessalonika write the book Jump the Education Barrier?
A. To help people to be successful.
B. To raise concern about psychology.
C. To share her own experience with others.
D. To give students a hand to complete college.
7. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A. Homeschooling
B. To Be a Genius
C. Three Published Books
D. The Story of Thessalonika
【答案】4. D 5. A 6. D 7. D

There’s nothing like having a best friend forever—that person who you can have fun with and talk to. July 30 is the International Day of Friendship. Maybe you can keep an eye out for a new friend to get to know. And while we’re talking about friends, don’t think humans are the only ones who know a thing or two about friendship. Check out these friendly animals in nature who help each other out.
An elephant and an olive baboon (东非狒狒) can be friends? It sounds strange, but it’s true. You can find this pair of friends in the grasslands of Africa. This unusual pair helps each other out like any good friends would. The elephant uses its front teeth to make a waterhole in the sand, and it lets the olive baboon have a drink from this “well” when it gets thirsty. In return, the baboon tells the elephant when danger is near. It climbs up to the treetops and calls out so its friend knows that it’s time to move on.
In the sea world, the goby fish (虾虎鱼) and the shrimp (虾) are well-known for their friendship. While the shrimp provides a home for the goby fish, the goby fish provides a guidance service for the almost blind shrimp. You see, the goby has great eyesight and stays close to the shrimp. As the shrimp moves around, the shrimp is feeling the goby with its antenna (须) from time to time to make sure it’s still there. If the goby senses danger, she will return to the home and the shrimp will follow.
The langur monkey has a very good friendship with the chital deer (花鹿). While the langur monkey eats in a tree, it drops leaves to the ground. This is good for the deer because sometimes there’s not much food. The deer will follow the monkey and eat whatever food is dropped. And in return, when the monkey comes down from the tree, the deer will put its foot down heavily to tell the monkey if it senses danger.
8. How can an elephant help an olive baboon?
A. By offering a shelter. B. By digging a waterhole.
C. By guiding the way. D. By warning it of danger.
9. What does a shrimp do when moving around in the sea?

Music is not just a set of sounds and rhythms. Its influence on brain is much deeper than any other human experience. Keep on reading to know all those amazing power of music.
A recent study suggests that preterm (早产) babies appear to experience less pain and feed more when listening to music. Experts led by Dr. Manoj Kumar of the University of Alberta, Canada, found that music had a beneficial effect on reducing pain for preterm babies experiencing painful medical tests. It also appeared to benefit full-term babies during operations.
Many people experiencing brain damage have speech and movement-related problems. Music can help recover from brain injuries. As a different and effective treatment, doctors often advise such patients to listen to good music to improve the parts of the brain responsible for these two functions. When people with neurological (神经的) disorders hear a musical beat, it helps them to regain a balanced walk.
Though music cannot make deafness disappear, it really can stave off the loss of hearing. There was an experiment involving 163 people where 74 were musicians. Participants were asked to pass some listening tests. Musicians heard the sounds better than non-musicians, and this difference gets clearer with age. This means that a 70-year-old musician hears better than a 50-year-old non-musician, even in a noisy environment.
Besides, music mends a broken heart. It is not about a thrown-away love, but about a heart attack. The matter is that music can help people recover from a heart attack or heart operation by reducing blood pressure, slowing down the heartbeat rate,and reducing anxiety. Listening to the quality music produces positive emotions, improves the movement of blood, and expands blood vessels, thus, promoting quick recovery of the whole cardiovascular(心血管的) system.
12. How does music affect preterm babies?
A. It helps reduce their pain.
B. It helps develop their potential in music.
C. It helps improve their hearing systems.
D. It helps repair their neurological systems.
13. What does the underlined phrase “stave off” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Cause. B. Prevent.
C. Predict. D. Increase.
14. Why can music mend a broken heart?
A. It can help patients recover in a slow way.
B. It helps make a person feel optimistic about life..
C. It can help people prevent diseases caused by anxiety
D. It has a positive effect on human body systems’ work.
15. What does the passage mainly talk about?
A. Who can benefit from music?
B. When should we listen to music best?
C. How does music affect our mind and body?
D. How can we choose music good for our healthy?
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了音乐对人的身心的积极影响。
【12题详解】

【13题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第四段“There was an experiment involving 163 people where 74 were musicians. Participants were asked to pass some listening tests. Musicians heard the sounds better than non-musicians, and this difference gets clearer with age. This means that a 70-year-old musician hears better than a 50-year-old non-musician, even in a noisy environment.（有一个实验涉及163人，其中74人是音乐家。参与者被要求通过一些听力测试。音乐家比非音乐家更能听到声音，这种差异随着年龄的增长而变得更加明显。这意味着一个70岁的音乐家比一个50岁的非音乐家的听力更好，即使在嘈杂的环境中）”可知，音乐有助于阻止听力的丧失。再由划线短语后的the loss of hearing（听力的丧失）可知，划线短语stave off意义为“阻止”。故选B项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“The matter is that music can help people recover from a heart attack or heart operation by reducing blood pressure, slowing down the heartbeat rate, and reducing anxiety. Listening to the quality music produces positive emotions, improves the movement of blood, and expands blood vessels, thus, promoting quick recovery of the whole cardiovascular(心血管的) system.（重要的是，音乐可以帮助人们从心脏病发作或心脏手术中恢复，通过降低血压，减慢心跳频率，减少焦虑。听高质量的音乐能产生积极的情绪，促进血液运动，扩张血管，从而促进整个心血管系统的快速恢复）”可知，音乐对人体系统的工作有积极的影响。故选D项。

8.考查形容词。句意：当我们困惑的时候，好朋友很可能会给我们好的建议。此处修饰人的感情，应用-ed结尾形容词confused。故confusing改为confused。
9.考查冠词。句意：当我们困惑的时候，好朋友很可能会给我们好的建议。advice是不可数名词，不能与冠词连用。故去掉advice前的a。
