Physical education, or gym class, isn’t required for all high school students. In some schools, it isn’t offered for some different reasons. But should high school students have physical education The answer is certainly “yes”.
Today many people don’t do sports. But as is known to all, doing sports is very important for an adult. Teaching teens the importance of a healthy lifestyle and making fitness plans now can help teens put exercise in the first place as an adult.
High school isn’t that easy. Many students are under a lot of stress. Stress can be harmful to a student’s studies and life. Doing sports can help them deal with stress better, helping them live a happier life at school.
The American Heart Association says that 10 million kids and teens suffer from obesity(肥胖症). Teens should get 60 minutes of physical activity per day to control their weight and to help their bones get stronger. The increase in activities that don’t get teens to move around, such as video games and computer activities, means many teens don’t get their required exercise. Physical education classes act as a public health measure to encourage activity and help teens have healthy weights.
Inactivity(不活跃) increases teens’ risk of developing many diseases. An active lifestyle offers a good way of protection from these health problems. As much as 75 percent of health-care spending goes towardtreating medical conditions that can be hindered by lifestyle changes, according to the American College of Sports Medicine.
According to the President’s Council on Fitness, Sports and Nutrition (PCFSN), students who performed five hours of physical activity each week improved their academic(学业的) performance. Students from programs with no physical activity, who used the extra time for classroom study,did not perform better on tests than those who gave up some study time in support of physical education.
4. According to Paragraph 2, what role does physical education play in high school
A. Helping teens learn to make good plans.
B. Relieving the stress faced by teens at school.
C. Making teens pay more attention to exercise later.
D. Getting teens to encourage adults to exercise.
5. What can we infer from the passage
A. Most high school students are harmed by stress.
B. American teens get 60 minutes’ exercise per day to control weight.
C. Video games help many teens to get required exercise.
D. Doing sports can help the students live a happier life at school.
6. What does the underlined word “hindered” in Paragraph 5 mean
A. Prevented.
B. Measured.
C. Worsened.
D. Caused.
7. What is the text mainly about
A. How high school students can live a happier life.
B. How schools can help students love doing sports.
C. Why some schools consider physical education important.
D. Why high school students should receive physical education.
【答案】4. C 5. D 6. A 7. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要是讲为什么高中生应该接受体育教育。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句“Teaching teens the importance of a healthy lifestyle and making fitness plans now can help teens put exercise in the first place as an adult.(教导青少年健康生活方式的重要性,现在就制定健身计划,可以帮助青少年在成年后把锻炼放在首位)”可知,体育教育在高中的作用是让青少年日后重视锻炼。故选C。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Doing sports can help them deal with stress better, helping them live a happier life at school.(做运动可以帮助他们更好地应对压力,帮他们读过更开心的校园生活)”可知,做运动可以帮助学生在学校过得更开心。故选D。
【6题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第五段中“An active lifestyle offers a good way of protection from these health problems.(积极的生活方式是预防这些健康问题的好方法) ”可知,此处是指改变生活方式可以预防疾病,所以hindered意为“预防”。故选A。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据全文内容,结合第一段最后两句“But should high school students have physical education The answer is certainly ‘yes’.(但是高中生应该上体育课吗?答案当然是肯定的)”可知,文章主要是讲为什么高中生应该接受体育教育。故选D。
C
It is presently harvest(收获)season for Christian Nacht Wey, who operates an apple farm, or orchard, in the western German town of Gelsdorf. Besides apples, Nacht Wey’s farm also produces a second harvest:electricity. Many of the farm’s trees grow under solar panels(太阳能电池板)that have been producing power during this year’s unusually sunny summer. Putting solar equipment on the same land as crops is becoming increasingly popular in Europe and North Ameri-ca. Farmers are finding that this method can make the most of their land, while creating a second way to earn money.
But getting the right mix of crop and solar is difficult. Most fruit requires specific growing conditions. Even small changes in the environment can harm crops and cause money losses. Even if the fruit survives(幸存), it might turn the wrong color or be less sweet and may be difficult to sell.
For these reasons, Nacht Wey is working with researchers to test which kinds of apples do well under a solar cover. For testing purposes, Nacht Wey covered some of his trees with a traditional netting material. It is normally used to Protect sensitive(敏感的)crops from serious weather events.
Juergen Zimmer is an expert with the area’s agricultural services department. He told the AP that apples grown under the solar covers were a little less sweet this year than those under the nets. But almost no solar-shaded apples got damaged(损害)in the strong sunlight that hit the ar-ea on July 24. In the non-shaded group, about 18 percent of apples suffered sun damage that day, Zimmer said. Researchers hope the tests will show that fruit crops perform well under solar panels. This could help prevent renewable energy production from competing for valuable agricultural land. That competition has become an increasing question as the need for renewable energy increases to fight climate change and rising food prices.
8. What does the author try to tell us in paragraph 2
A. The method of the test.
B. The disadvantage of solar panels.
C. The difficulty of growing crops.
D. Some reasons for the test in the farm.
9. What are netting materials usually used to do
A. Test what apples are suitable for a solar cover.
B. Examine why some crops are sensitive to heat.
C. Keep some crops from being damaged by terrible weather.
D. Speed up the growth of apples.
10 What is Juergen Zimmer’s attitude to using the solar covers
A. Doubtful. B. Supportive. C. Unclear. D. Uncaring.
11. What is the main idea of the text
A. German Farmer Grows Fruit under Solar Power Equipment.
B. Researchers Find Out New Way to Produce Renewable Energy.
C. Solar Energy Could Play Big Part in Valuable Agricultural Land.
D. Increasingly Popular Way of Operating Orchard Among German Farmers.
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。主要介绍了德国农民在太阳能设备下种植水果。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“But getting the right mix of crop and solar is difficult. Most fruit requires specific growing conditions. Even small changes in the environment can harm crops and cause money losses. Even if the fruit survives, it might turn the wrong color or be less sweet and may be difficult to sell.”(但是要把农作物和太阳能正确地结合起来是很困难的。大多数水果都需要特定的生长环境。即使环境的微小变化也会损害作物并造成经济损失。即使水果存活下来,它也可能会变成错误的颜色或不那么甜,可能很难出售。)以及第三段中第一句“For these reasons, Nacht Wey is working with researchers to test which kinds of apples do well under a solar cover.”(出于这些原因,Nacht Wey正在与研究人员合作,测试哪种苹果在太阳能罩下生长得更好。)可推知,作者在第二段想告诉我们在农场进行测试的一些原因。故选D项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“For testing purposes, Nacht Wey covered some of his trees with a traditional netting material. It is normally used to Protect sensitive(敏感的)crops from serious weather events.”(为了测试目的,Nacht Wey用传统的网状材料覆盖了他的一些树木。它通常用于保护敏感作物免受恶劣天气事件的影响。)可知,网状材料通常用来防止一些农作物被恶劣天气破坏。故选C项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“He told the AP that apples grown under the solar covers were a little less sweet this year than those under the nets. But almost no solar-shaded apples got damaged(损害)in the strong sunlight that hit the ar-ea on July 24. In the non-shaded group, about 18 percent of apples suffered sun damage that day, Zimmer said. Researchers hope the tests will show that fruit crops perform well under solar panels.”(他告诉美联社,今年在太阳能罩下生长的苹果比在网下生长的苹果不那么甜。但在7月24日的强烈阳光照射下,几乎没有苹果受到损害。齐默说,在没有遮阳的那一组中,大约18%的苹果当天受到了阳光的伤害。研究人员希望这些测试将表明水果作物在太阳能电池板下表现良好。)可推知,于尔根·齐默对使用太阳能罩的态度是支持的。故选B项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及第一段中“It is presently harvest season for Christian Nacht Wey, who operates an apple farm, or orchard, in the western German town of Gelsdorf. Besides apples, Nacht Wey’s farm also produces a second harvest:electricity. Many of the farm’s trees grow under solar panels that have been producing power during this year’s unusually sunny summer.”(对于克里斯蒂安·纳赫特·韦(Christian Nacht Wey)来说,现在是收获的季节,他在德国西部的盖尔斯多夫镇经营着一家苹果农场。除了苹果,Nacht Wey的农场还收获了第二种东西:电力。农场的许多树木都生长在太阳能电池板下,在今年异常晴朗的夏天,太阳能电池板一直在发电。)可知,文章主要讲的是德国农民在太阳能设备下种植水果。故选A项。
D
One of the most firmly established idea of manliness(男子汉) is that a real man doesn’t cry. Although he might cry a bit at a funeral, he is expected to quickly regain control. Crying openly is for girls. One study found that women cry significantly more than men do—five times as often, on average, and almost twice as long per period.
Historically, however, men usually cried, and no one saw it as shameful. For example, in the Middle Ages, knights(骑士) cried only because they missed their girlfriends. In The Knight of the Cart, no less a hero than Lancelot cries at a brief separation from Guinevere. There’s no mention of the men in these stories trying to hold back or hide their tears. They cry in a crowded hall with their heads held high. Nor do other people make fun of this public crying; it’s universally regarded as an expression of feeling to show love.
So where did all the male tears go The most obvious possibility is that this is the result of changes as we moved from an agricultural(农业的) society to one that was urban(城市的)and industrial(工业的). In the Middle Ages, most people spent their lives among those they had known since birth. If men cried, they did so with people who would sympathize(同情). But from the 18th to 20th centuries, the population became increasingly urbanize, and people were living in the midst of thousands of strangers. Furthermore, changes in the economy required men to work together in factories and offices where expressions of feelings and even personal conversations were discouraged as time wasting.
Yet human beings weren’t designed to hide their feelings, and there’s reason to believe that restraining tears can be harmful to your well-being. Research from the 1980s has suggested a relationship between stress-related illnesses and not enough crying. Crying is also, somewhat related with happiness and wealth. Countries where people cry the most tend to be richer and more confident.
12. In history, people considered it ________ for men to cry in public.
A. manly B. shameful C. acceptable D. funny
13. How does the author answer the question raised in paragraph 3
A. By offering descriptions. B. By asking questions.
C. By comparing facts. D. By listing numbers.
14. Who is likely to be healthier according to the passage
A. Tony who lives alone and never expresses himself.
B Peter who is outgoing but sometimes cries in public.
C. Arthur who is under great stress but never shed a tear.
D. Adam who sometimes cries but quickly regain control.
15. What is the best title for the text
A. Men Don’t Cry. Why B. Crying Is for Women
C. Who Cry More Men or Women D. Crying Makes a Weak Man
【答案】12. C 13. C 14. B 15. A
【解析】
【分析】本文是说明文,分析了为什么古代男人哭而现在男人不哭的原因,告诉我们不要压抑自己,抑制眼泪对健康有害。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段Historically, however, men usually cried, and no one saw it as shameful.和Nor do other people make fun of this public crying; it’s universally regarded as an expression of feeling to show love.可知在历史上男人哭并不是羞耻的事,在公共场合哭被看作是感情的表达,是可以被接受的。故选C.
【13题详解】
推理判断题。第三段开头提出问题,男人的眼泪去哪了?下文说明了原因,根据In the Middle Ages, most people spent their lives among those they had known since birth. If men cried, they did so with people who would sympathize(同情). But from the 18th to 20th centuries, the population became increasingly urbanize, and people were living in the midst of thousands of strangers.可知把中世纪的现实情况和18世纪到20世纪的现实情况进行了比较,说明了原因。使用的是比较事实的方法,故选C.
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段restraining tears can be harmful to your well-being.和a relationship between stress-related illnesses and not enough crying.可知抑制泪水对健康有害,和压力有关的疾病与不释放眼泪有关系。B项:Peter性格外向,但有时在公共场合哭。Peter是健康的。故选B.
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。第一段One of the most firmly established idea of manliness(男子汉) is that a real man doesn’t cry.点明本文要谈论的主题,男子汉不哭;第二段介绍了古代男子用眼泪表达感情,男人哭是被接受的;第三段分析了现在的男人不哭的原因;最后一段说明抑制泪水对身体有害。四个选项中Men Don’t Cry. Why 概括了全文内容,适合作为标题。故选A.
【点睛】概括主旨的方法是:先看首尾或各段开头再看全文找主题句,若无明显主题句,就通过关键词句来概括(如议论文中寻找表达作者观点态度的词句,记叙文寻找概括情节和中心的动词或反映人物特点的形容词)。文中出现两种或两种以上的不同观点时,务必牢记作者的观点才是体现全文中心的。第一段One of the most firmly established idea of manliness(男子汉) is that a real man doesn’t cry.点明本文要谈论的主题,男子汉不哭;第二段介绍了古代男子用眼泪表达感情,男人哭是被接受的;第三段分析了现在的男人不哭的原因;最后一段说明抑制泪水对身体有害。四个选项中Men Don’t Cry. Why 概括了全文内容,适合作为标题。

【16题详解】
根据下文“Similarly, your employer will give you money in exchange for the work you perform—the product or service. (同样,你的雇主会给你钱,以换取你完成产品或服务的工作)”可知,空处应该和该句子表达同一个意思,也就是说企业会提供产品和服务来换取金钱。E项“企业提供产品和服务以换取金钱”符合语境。E项中的“in exchange for money”和下文中的“give you money in exchange for the work”相呼应。故选E。
【17题详解】

You can also conduct informational interviews with professionals in jobs that sound exciting to you.(你可以查看招聘广告,看看你想要的工作需要哪些技能。你还可以对那些听起来让你兴奋的工作中的专业人士进行信息面试)”可知,空后列举了两种了解“顾客”的方式,所以空处应该表明有几种了解“顾客”的方式。G项“有几种方法可以了解‘客户’的需求”符合语境。G项中的“understand the needs of your “customers””和前文“understand what potential “customers” consider valuable”相呼应。故选G。
【20题详解】
根据主旨句“Be patient during periods of change.(在变化时期保持耐心)”以及“Similarly, it’ll take time to learn a new skill or try to break into a different profession. Don’t expect you’ll be immediately productive and successful. (同样,学习一项新技能或尝试进入一个不同的职业也需要时间。不要指望你会马上变得富有成效和成功)”可知,本段主要讲述在转变时期要保持耐心,因为成功是需要时间的。由此推知,空处进一步表明我们需要给自己时间和空前去调整自己。F项“给自己空间,让自己朝着自己渴望的方向调整和成长”符合语境。故选F。

【36题详解】
考查时态。句意:多年后,她成为了一名教练,带领中国女子排球队在世界锦标赛和奥运会上获得奖牌。分析句子可知,整个句子主时态是一般过去时态,同时又有时间状语 years later,所以此处用一般过去时态。故填 became。

考查定语从句。句意:在准备2015年世界杯的时候,郎平一手打造的球队正在分崩离析。分析句子可知,空格处应填入限制性定语从句的引导词。先行词是the team,指物,且关系词在定语从句中作宾语,故用关系代词that/which。故填that/which。
【38题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意:一个最好的球员受伤了,然后队长因为心脏问题不得不离开。分析句子可知,空格处应用被动语态,and then表示并列,后面句子用一般过去时态,所以此空可用一般过去时态的被动语态,同时此并列句中injure 动作发生在leave 动作之前,也可用过去完成时态,故填 were injured/had been injured。

【43题详解】
考查形容词。句意:乔丹的技术令人印象深刻,但他所表现出的精神力量使他与众不同。分析句子可知,此空在句中作表语,应用形容词。故填 impressive。
【44题详解】
考查介词。句意:乔丹说,他成功的秘诀是从失败中学习。the secret to doing是固定结构,to是介词,后面接名词或者动名词,意思是“做……的秘诀”。故填 to。
【45题详解】
考查时态。句意:他在芝加哥创办的男孩女孩俱乐部自1996年以来一直帮助年轻人。分析句子可知,空格处应填入谓语动词。根据时间状语since 1996可知,此处应用现在完成时强调过去的动作对现在造成的影响或结果;也可用现在完成进行时强调动作的持续性。故填has helped/has been helping。

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I think that you are never going to be as happy as you were when you were little. There are no worries when you are little. The things that worried you most are not important things. My most memorable moments happened when I was a child. I can not remember a lot of them because I was very little but I remember the most exciting thing for me at that time.
Some of my friends that I have now have been my best friends since childhood. It is really nice to still have them in my life. Most of them I know are from school but some of them are because of our mothers. And it is really strange to think that you have spent all your life with them. We often went out for sightseeing during holidays, which really made us kids happy and helped establish sincere friendship.
One trip that I remember a lot was when I went with one of my best friend Kate to a cruise (乘船游览) to the Caribbean islands in a summer holiday when I was 10 years old. Going there was a perfect thing that I’d always dreamed of. On the way to the cruise, we were very excited. We both were going with our families. We were together all of the time. Sometimes she came to sleep in my room and sometimes I went to hers. When we got down in the islands we also spent all of the time together because our mothers are also very good friends. On the morning of the last day of the trip the cruise stopped near a mall to let tourists go into the mall to do some shopping. Both Kate’s and my parents were busy in choosing clothes and we showed no interest in clothes, so we felt a little bored, having nothing to do.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Kate and I decided to go to a toy counter to buy some Barbie dolls.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Tour disappointment, our mothers didn’t appear.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】参考范文:
Kate and I decided to go to a toy counter to buy some Barbie dolls. As we all know, Barbie dolls are almost all girls’ favorite. There were varieties of Barbie dolls in the toy counter. We were so attracted that we really hated to leave there. After buying our favorite Barbie dolls, however, we got lost. We were very worried because we had thought the cruise was going to go without us. We went to the entrance, waiting for our mothers to come.
To our disappointment, our mothers didn’t appear. Feeling too frightened, we cried loudly. Then a lady that we had already seen in the cruise came to us. She asked us what had happened. Realizing the situation, she helped us without any hesitation. With her help, we found our mothers finally. Although I met some trouble during the trip, I think that was the most unforgettable trip of my life. And I learn that as a child, whenever we go out with parents, we shouldn’t leave out of parents’ eyesight.

Physical education, or gym class, isn’t required for all high school students. In some schools, it isn’t offered for some different reasons. But should high school students have physical education The answer is certainly “yes”.
Today many people don’t do sports. But as is known to all, doing sports is very important for an adult. Teaching teens the importance of a healthy lifestyle and making fitness plans now can help teens put exercise in the first place as an adult.
High school isn’t that easy. Many students are under a lot of stress. Stress can be harmful to a student’s studies and life. Doing sports can help them deal with stress better, helping them live a happier life at school.
The American Heart Association says that 10 million kids and teens suffer from obesity(肥胖症). Teens should get 60 minutes of physical activity per day to control their weight and to help their bones get stronger. The increase in activities that don’t get teens to move around, such as video games and computer activities, means many teens don’t get their required exercise. Physical education classes act as a public health measure to encourage activity and help teens have healthy weights.
Inactivity(不活跃) increases teens’ risk of developing many diseases. An active lifestyle offers a good way of protection from these health problems. As much as 75 percent of health-care spending goes towardtreating medical conditions that can be hindered by lifestyle changes, according to the American College of Sports Medicine.
According to the President’s Council on Fitness, Sports and Nutrition (PCFSN), students who performed five hours of physical activity each week improved their academic(学业的) performance. Students from programs with no physical activity, who used the extra time for classroom study,did not perform better on tests than those who gave up some study time in support of physical education.
4. According to Paragraph 2, what role does physical education play in high school
A. Helping teens learn to make good plans.
B. Relieving the stress faced by teens at school.
C. Making teens pay more attention to exercise later.
D. Getting teens to encourage adults to exercise.
5. What can we infer from the passage
A. Most high school students are harmed by stress.
B. American teens get 60 minutes’ exercise per day to control weight.
C. Video games help many teens to get required exercise.
D. Doing sports can help the students live a happier life at school.
6. What does the underlined word “hindered” in Paragraph 5 mean
A. Prevented.
B. Measured.
C. Worsened.
D. Caused.
7. What is the text mainly about
A. How high school students can live a happier life.
B. How schools can help students love doing sports.
C. Why some schools consider physical education important.
D. Why high school students should receive physical education.
C
It is presently harvest(收获)season for Christian Nacht Wey, who operates an apple farm, or orchard, in the western German town of Gelsdorf. Besides apples, Nacht Wey’s farm also produces a second harvest:electricity. Many of the farm’s trees grow under solar panels(太阳能电池板)that have been producing power during this year’s unusually sunny summer. Putting solar equipment on the same land as crops is becoming increasingly popular in Europe and North Ameri-ca. Farmers are finding that this method can make the most of their land, while creating a second way to earn money.
But getting the right mix of crop and solar is difficult. Most fruit requires specific growing conditions. Even small changes in the environment can harm crops and cause money losses. Even if the fruit survives(幸存), it might turn the wrong color or be less sweet and may be difficult to sell.
For these reasons, Nacht Wey is working with researchers to test which kinds of apples do well under a solar cover. For testing purposes, Nacht Wey covered some of his trees with a traditional netting material. It is normally used to Protect sensitive(敏感的)crops from serious weather events.
Juergen Zimmer is an expert with the area’s agricultural services department. He told the AP that apples grown under the solar covers were a little less sweet this year than those under the nets. But almost no solar-shaded apples got damaged(损害)in the strong sunlight that hit the ar-ea on July 24. In the non-shaded group, about 18 percent of apples suffered sun damage that day, Zimmer said. Researchers hope the tests will show that fruit crops perform well under solar panels. This could help prevent renewable energy production from competing for valuable agricultural land. That competition has become an increasing question as the need for renewable energy increases to fight climate change and rising food prices.
8. What does the author try to tell us in paragraph 2
A. The method of the test.
B. The disadvantage of solar panels.
C. The difficulty of growing crops.
D. Some reasons for the test in the farm.
9. What are netting materials usually used to do
A. Test what apples are suitable for a solar cover.
B. Examine why some crops are sensitive to heat.
C. Keep some crops from being damaged by terrible weather.
D. Speed up the growth of apples.
10. What is Juergen Zimmer’s attitude to using the solar covers
A. Doubtful. B. Supportive. C. Unclear. D. Uncaring.
11. What is the main idea of the text
A. German Farmer Grows Fruit under Solar Power Equipment.
B. Researchers Find Out New Way to Produce Renewable Energy.
C. Solar Energy Could Play Big Part in Valuable Agricultural Land.
D. Increasingly Popular Way of Operating Orchard Among German Farmers.
D
One of the most firmly established idea of manliness(男子汉) is that a real man doesn’t cry. Although he might cry a bit at a funeral, he is expected to quickly regain control. Crying openly is for girls. One study found that women cry significantly more than men do—five times as often, on average, and almost twice as long per period.
Historically, however, men usually cried, and no one saw it as shameful. For example, in the Middle Ages, knights(骑士) cried only because they missed their girlfriends. In The Knight of the Cart, no less a hero than Lancelot cries at a brief separation from Guinevere. There’s no mention of the men in these stories trying to hold back or hide their tears. They cry in a crowded hall with their heads held high. Nor do other people make fun of this public crying; it’s universally regarded as an expression of feeling to show love.
So where did all the male tears go The most obvious possibility is that this is the result of changes as we moved from an agricultural(农业的) society to one that was urban(城市的)and industrial(工业的). In the Middle Ages, most people spent their lives among those they had known since birth. If men cried, they did so with people who would sympathize(同情). But from the 18th to 20th centuries, the population became increasingly urbanize, and people were living in the midst of thousands of strangers. Furthermore, changes in the economy required men to work together in factories and offices where expressions of feelings and even personal conversations were discouraged as time wasting.
Yet human beings weren’t designed to hide their feelings, and there’s reason to believe that restraining tears can be harmful to your well-being. Research from the 1980s has suggested a relationship between stress-related illnesses and not enough crying. Crying is also, somewhat related with happiness and wealth. Countries where people cry the most tend to be richer and more confident.
12. In history, people considered it ________ for men to cry in public.
A. manly B. shameful C. acceptable D. funny
13. How does the author answer the question raised in paragraph 3
A. By offering descriptions. B. By asking questions.
C. By comparing facts. D. By listing numbers.
14. Who is likely to be healthier according to the passage
A. Tony who lives alone and never expresses himself.
B. Peter who is outgoing but sometimes cries in public.
C Arthur who is under great stress but never shed a tear.
D. Adam who sometimes cries but quickly regain control.
15. What is the best title for the text
A Men Don’t Cry. Why B. Crying Is for Women
C. Who Cry More Men or Women D. Crying Makes a Weak Man

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I think that you are never going to be as happy as you were when you were little. There are no worries when you are little. The things that worried you most are not important things. My most memorable moments happened when I was a child. I can not remember a lot of them because I was very little but I remember the most exciting thing for me at that time.
Some of my friends that I have now have been my best friends since childhood. It is really nice to still have them in my life. Most of them I know are from school but some of them are because of our mothers. And it is really strange to think that you have spent all your life with them. We often went out for sightseeing during holidays, which really made us kids happy and helped establish sincere friendship.
One trip that I remember a lot was when I went with one of my best friend Kate to a cruise (乘船游览) to the Caribbean islands in a summer holiday when I was 10 years old. Going there was a perfect thing that I’d always dreamed of. On the way to the cruise, we were very excited. We both were going with our families. We were together all of the time. Sometimes she came to sleep in my room and sometimes I went to hers. When we got down in the islands we also spent all of the time together because our mothers are also very good friends. On the morning of the last day of the trip the cruise stopped near a mall to let tourists go into the mall to do some shopping. Both Kate’s and my parents were busy in choosing clothes and we showed no interest in clothes, so we felt a little bored, having nothing to do.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Kate and I decided to go to a toy counter to buy some Barbie dolls.
