Laurie Horam never thought of himself as musical. At home, his dad never listened to music, while one of his boarding school teachers labelled him tone-deaf. But last month he started to play the harmonica (口琴)on the streets of Bradford. People clapped, danced and threw coins into his case for the local food bank.
Eight years ago, Horam, a retired civil servant, was on his way back from a trip with his family. Gavin, one of his sons who cover a range of instruments, stopped at a music shop. He walked out and said: “Here you are. I bought this for you, Dad. We must have got our musical abilities from you. It’s a harmonica. I’ll try to show you how to play a bit.” Horam was surprised and confused.
They went to their local pub. Gavin played the guitar and Horam sat in the corner with his harmonica, trying to make a sound that no one would hear. After six months, he was invited into the group. He discovered a talent for improvisation (即兴表演) , responding to a note within a millisecond without batting an eyelid. “I don’ t play by ear. I play by heart.” Actually, Horam says, “My harmonica plays me—how I feel what I am, and what I’ve been.”
Music has enriched life with friendship and made Horam feel “part of something much big— ger” than himself. “At a time when the circle of life might be shrinking, mine is expanding,” he says. “Maybe we never know completely who we are or what we can do.”
4. Why did Horam play the harmonica on the streets of Bradford
A. To recall the good old days.
B. To beg food from passers-by.
C. To raise money for charity.
D. To live his childhood dream.
5. What is Gavin’s attitude to his father’s musical ability
A. Unclear. B. Positive. C. Doubtful. D. Negative.
6. What can Horam do by playing the harmonica
A. Express himself. B. Make a lot of money.
C. Enjoy the fame. D. Sharpen his hearing.
7. What does music bring to Horam
A. A sensitive soul. B. A comfortable life.
C A new understanding of family. D. A broader circle of life.

Prefer your coffee black Then you probably like dark, bitter chocolate, according to new research identifying a genetic (基因的)basis for those preferences. If that’s you, then congratulations——you are the lucky genetic winner of a feature that may offer you a boost toward good health, according to caffeine researcher Marilyn Cornelis, an associate professor of preventive medicine at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine.
Studies find appropriate amounts of black coffee between 3 and 5 cups daily has been shown to lower the risk of certain diseases, including Parkinson’s, heart diseases, Type 2 diabetes and several types of cancer. But those benefits are likely to be more pronounced if the coffee is free of all of the milk, sugars and other fattening flavorings we tend to add.
“We know there’s growing evidence suggesting there’s a beneficial impact of coffee consumption on health. But reading between the lines, anyone advising someone to consume coffee would typically advise them to consume black coffee due to the difference between consuming black coffee and coffee with milk and sugar,” Cornelis said. “One is naturally calorie free. The second can add possibly hundreds of calories to your coffee, and the health benefits could be quite different.” she added.
In previous research, Cornelis and her team discovered that a genetic variant (变异)may contribute to why some people enjoy many cups of coffee a day, while others do not. “People with the gene metabolize (新陈代谢)caffeine faster, so the stimulating effects wear off faster, and they need to drink more coffee,” she said.
In a new study published in Scientific Reports, Cornelis analyzed more precise types of coffee drinkers, separating black coffee lovers from cream and sugar (or more) lovers. “We found coffee drinkers with the genetic variant that reflects a faster metabolism of caffeine prefer bitter, black coffee,” Cornelis said. “We also found the same genetic variant in people who prefer plain tea over sweetened, and bitter, dark chocolate over the more mellow milk chocolate.”
8. Why do some people prefer bitter chocolate
A. They are affected by their genes.
B. They know it benefits their health.
C. They’ve got the habit since childhood.
D. They are influenced by their friends.
9. What does the underlined word “pronounced” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Complex. B. Changeable. C. Obvious. D. Fundamental.
10. What can be inferred from the third paragraph
A. People often give misleading suggestions.
B. People should choose calorie-free coffee.
C. The effect of coffee on health is overstated.
D. Sugar and milk are damaging our health secretly.
11. What’s the text mainly about
A. How to keep healthy. B. How to make coffee.
C. Why chocolate gets popular. D. Why people like black coffee.
D
If you were to move to a new country with a different language and bring along the family dog, your pet would likely have a hard time understanding commands from the locals9 according to a new study looking at how dogs’ brains react to different languages.
The new study was conducted by lead author Laura Cuaya, a neurobiologist at Eotvos Lordnd University in Hungary, who recently moved from Mexico to Tokyo alongside her dog Kun-kun.
Cuaya and her team trained 18 dogs, including Kun-kun, to lie motionless in an MRI machine so the researchers could scan their brains. As the dogs were being scanned, the researchers played the dogs three different recordings: a Spanish reading from the famous children’s book The Little Prince; a Japanese reading from the same book; and a series of human noises that did not resemble speech at all. All of the dogs had been exposed to only one of the two languages, meaning one was familiar to them and the other was unfamiliar. MRI scans revealed that dogs’ brains can distinguish between familiar and unfamiliar languages making them the first-known, and so far only, non-human animals to be able to tell the difference between human languages.
During the experiments, researchers also found that older dogs showed more activity in the secondary auditory cortex of the brain, suggesting they were better at differentiating familiar and unfamiliar languages than younger dogs. “I think that the main reason that older dogs are better at differentiating languages is the amount of exposure to the language Cuaya said. “Older dogs have had more opportunities to listen to humans while they talk.”
What makes dogs unique is that they do not need to be trained to distinguish between human languages. “Their brains detected the difference naturally, perhaps due to the domestication process,” Cuaya said. “While it is possible that many species can distinguish between human languages 9 dogs are one of the few that are interested in hearing us.”
12. What does the new study find
A. Dogs may settle into a new environment easily.
B. Dogs can face language barriers in a foreign country.
C. Dogs are more sensitive to languages than other animals.
D. Dogs fail to understand their owners in a new environment.
13. What does paragraph 3 mainly tell us about the study
A. Its background. B. Its benefit. C. Its process. D. Its purpose.
14. What does Cuaya intend to convey in the last paragraph
A. Domestication helps dogs better live with humans.
B. Dogs are closely related to humans.
C. Humans should be more friendly to dogs.
D. Training plays an important role in raising dogs.
15. What’s the best title for the text
A. Dogs can bring surprising health benefits
B. Dogs are good translators in a new environment
C. Dogs that are often exposed to humans are more intelligent
D. Dogs can distinguish between familiar and unfamiliar human languages

Throughout life we come across many people who impact us in a way. Their impact can be for a day or for a lifetime. It’s common not to recognize the impact someone has left on you until a certain moment. The person who left a great impact on me is my dad.
Three months after turning fourteen, my life was great. I was getting settled into a high school; my grades were already starting off greatly and I was making friends.
One day as I came home from school, I walked into the living room, finding my mom and dad talking. My parents turned to me and told me to sit down because there was something important they had to tell me. I soon found out that my dad’s liver was failing and he needed an immediate transplant. I was shocked and confused because my dad seemed fine. He was working and never looked sick. My parents told me not to worry because everything would be fine. Four months had passed and my dad still had not received a new liver ; he was progressively getting worse. His body seemed to be getting weaker, but he constantly said he was fine.
It was getting hard for my family and me. My dad had to quit his job leaving my mom to be the only provider. I had to take on the responsibility of cleaning the house, cooking meals and checking on my dad while my mom was at work. I had to cut back on hanging with my friends because my dad was beginning to go in and out of the hospital. My focus for school was starting to slip. So were my grades. Two nights before my school spring break, my mom received a call from the hospital that my dad had been in a car accident and that he was in hospital. Surprisingly, my dad hadn’t received a scratch on him. Then next night my mom received a call from the doctor stating that there was a liver that matched my dad’s body and that he needed to get to the hospital immediately.
注意:
1 .续写词数应为150左右;
2 .请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
My parents and I rushed to the hospital.

Eight years ago, Horam, a retired civil servant, was on his way back from a trip with his family. Gavin, one of his sons who cover a range of instruments, stopped at a music shop. He walked out and said: “Here you are. I bought this for you, Dad. We must have got our musical abilities from you. It’s a harmonica. I’ll try to show you how to play a bit.” Horam was surprised and confused.
They went to their local pub. Gavin played the guitar and Horam sat in the corner with his harmonica, trying to make a sound that no one would hear. After six months, he was invited into the group. He discovered a talent for improvisation (即兴表演) , responding to a note within a millisecond without batting an eyelid. “I don’ t play by ear. I play by heart.” Actually, Horam says, “My harmonica plays me—how I feel what I am, and what I’ve been.”
Music has enriched life with friendship and made Horam feel “part of something much big— ger” than himself. “At a time when the circle of life might be shrinking, mine is expanding,” he says. “Maybe we never know completely who we are or what we can do.”
4. Why did Horam play the harmonica on the streets of Bradford
A. To recall the good old days.
B. To beg food from passers-by.
C. To raise money for charity.
D To live his childhood dream.
5. What is Gavin’s attitude to his father’s musical ability
A. Unclear. B. Positive. C. Doubtful. D. Negative.
6. What can Horam do by playing the harmonica
A. Express himself. B. Make a lot of money.
C. Enjoy the fame. D. Sharpen his hearing.
7. What does music bring to Horam
A. A sensitive soul. B. A comfortable life.
C. A new understanding of family. D. A broader circle of life.
【答案】4. C 5. B 6. A 7. D

Prefer your coffee black Then you probably like dark, bitter chocolate, according to new research identifying a genetic (基因的)basis for those preferences. If that’s you, then congratulations——you are the lucky genetic winner of a feature that may offer you a boost toward good health, according to caffeine researcher Marilyn Cornelis, an associate professor of preventive medicine at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine.
Studies find appropriate amounts of black coffee between 3 and 5 cups daily has been shown to lower the risk of certain diseases, including Parkinson’s, heart diseases, Type 2 diabetes and several types of cancer. But those benefits are likely to be more pronounced if the coffee is free of all of the milk, sugars and other fattening flavorings we tend to add.
“We know there’s growing evidence suggesting there’s a beneficial impact of coffee consumption on health. But reading between the lines, anyone advising someone to consume coffee would typically advise them to consume black coffee due to the difference between consuming black coffee and coffee with milk and sugar,” Cornelis said. “One is naturally calorie free. The second can add possibly hundreds of calories to your coffee, and the health benefits could be quite different.” she added.
In previous research, Cornelis and her team discovered that a genetic variant (变异)may contribute to why some people enjoy many cups of coffee a day, while others do not. “People with the gene metabolize (新陈代谢)caffeine faster, so the stimulating effects wear off faster, and they need to drink more coffee,” she said.
In a new study published in Scientific Reports, Cornelis analyzed more precise types of coffee drinkers, separating black coffee lovers from cream and sugar (or more) lovers. “We found coffee drinkers with the genetic variant that reflects a faster metabolism of caffeine prefer bitter, black coffee,” Cornelis said. “We also found the same genetic variant in people who prefer plain tea over sweetened, and bitter, dark chocolate over the more mellow milk chocolate.”
8. Why do some people prefer bitter chocolate
A. They are affected by their genes.
B. They know it benefits their health.
C. They’ve got the habit since childhood.
D. They are influenced by their friends.
9. What does the underlined word “pronounced” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Complex. B. Changeable. C. Obvious. D. Fundamental.
10. What can be inferred from the third paragraph
A. People often give misleading suggestions.
B. People should choose calorie-free coffee.
C. The effect of coffee on health is overstated.
D. Sugar and milk are damaging our health secretly.
11. What’s the text mainly about
A. How to keep healthy. B. How to make coffee.
C. Why chocolate gets popular. D. Why people like black coffee.
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. B 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍研究人员研究为什么有人喜欢喝黑咖啡，原来他们是有基因偏爱的。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Prefer your coffee black Then you probably like dark, bitter chocolate, according to new research identifying a genetic (基因的)basis for those preferences.( 喜欢你的咖啡黑吗？那你可能会喜欢又黑又苦的巧克力吧，根据最新的研究，确定了这些偏好的遗传基础。)”可知有些人喜欢苦巧克力是受到基因影响，故选A。
【9题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线词上文“Studies find appropriate amounts of black coffee between 3 and 5 cups daily has been shown to lower the risk of certain diseases, including Parkinson’s, heart diseases,Type 2 diabetes and several types of cancer.( 研究发现，适量的黑咖啡（每天3到5杯）已被证明可以降低某些疾病的风险，包括帕金森氏症、心脏病、2型糖尿病和几种癌症。)”和下文的But，以及画线单词下文“if the coffee is free of all of the milk, sugars and other fattening flavorings we tend to add.(如果咖啡中没有牛奶、糖和其他我们倾向于添加的增肥调味品。)”可知，如果咖啡中不含牛奶、糖和其他我们倾向于添加的增肥调味品，这些好处可能会更明显。因此划线词pronounced意为“明显的”和Obvious(明显的)同义，故选C。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段““We know there’s growing evidence suggesting there’s a beneficial impact of coffee consumption on health. But reading between the lines, anyone advising someone to consume coffee would typically advise them to consume black coffee due to the difference between consuming black coffee and coffee with milk and sugar,” Cornelis said. “One is naturally calorie free. The second can add possibly hundreds of calories to your coffee, and the health benefits could be quite different.” she added.(“我们知道，越来越多的证据表明，喝咖啡对健康有益。但言外之意是，任何建议人们喝咖啡的人通常都会建议他们喝黑咖啡，因为黑咖啡和加牛奶和糖的咖啡之间存在差异。”“一种是天然无卡路里的。第二种咖啡可能会给你的咖啡增加数百卡路里的热量，而且对健康的益处可能大不相同。她补充道)”可推断人们应该选择无卡路里的咖啡。故选B。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其最后一段“In a new study published in Scientific Reports, Cornelis analyzed more precise types of coffee drinkers, separating black coffee lovers from cream and sugar (or more) lovers. “We found coffee drinkers with the genetic variant that reflects a faster metabolism of caffeine prefer bitter, black coffee ” Cornelis said. “We also found the same genetic variant in people who prefer plain tea over sweetened, and bitter, dark chocolate over the more mellow milk chocolate.”(在《科学报告》上发表的一项新研究中，科内利斯分析了更精确的咖啡饮用者类型，将黑咖啡爱好者与加奶油和糖(或更多)的爱好者区分开来。科内利斯说:“我们发现，携带咖啡因代谢较快基因变异的咖啡饮用者更喜欢苦的黑咖啡。”我们还在那些喜欢纯茶而不是甜的、苦的黑巧克力而不是更醇厚的牛奶巧克力的人身上发现了同样的基因变异。” ) ”可知文章介绍为什么有人喜欢喝黑咖啡，原来他们是有基因偏爱的。故选D。

If you were to move to a new country with a different language and bring along the family dog, your pet would likely have a hard time understanding commands from the locals9 according to a new study looking at how dogs’ brains react to different languages.
The new study was conducted by lead author Laura Cuaya, a neurobiologist at Eotvos Lordnd University in Hungary, who recently moved from Mexico to Tokyo alongside her dog Kun-kun.
Cuaya and her team trained 18 dogs, including Kun-kun, to lie motionless in an MRI machine so the researchers could scan their brains. As the dogs were being scanned, the researchers played the dogs three different recordings: a Spanish reading from the famous children’s book The Little Prince; a Japanese reading from the same book; and a series of human noises that did not resemble speech at all. All of the dogs had been exposed to only one of the two languages, meaning one was familiar to them and the other was unfamiliar. MRI scans revealed that dogs’ brains can distinguish between familiar and unfamiliar languages making them the first-known, and so far only, non-human animals to be able to tell the difference between human languages.
During the experiments, researchers also found that older dogs showed more activity in the secondary auditory cortex of the brain, suggesting they were better at differentiating familiar and unfamiliar languages than younger dogs. “I think that the main reason that older dogs are better at differentiating languages is the amount of exposure to the language Cuaya said. “Older dogs have had more opportunities to listen to humans while they talk.”
What makes dogs unique is that they do not need to be trained to distinguish between human languages. “Their brains detected the difference naturally, perhaps due to the domestication process,” Cuaya said. “While it is possible that many species can distinguish between human languages 9 dogs are one of the few that are interested in hearing us.”
12. What does the new study find
A. Dogs may settle into a new environment easily.
B. Dogs can face language barriers in a foreign country.
C. Dogs are more sensitive to languages than other animals.
D. Dogs fail to understand their owners in a new environment.
13. What does paragraph 3 mainly tell us about the study
A. Its background. B. Its benefit. C. Its process. D. Its purpose.
14. What does Cuaya intend to convey in the last paragraph
A. Domestication helps dogs better live with humans.
B Dogs are closely related to humans.
C. Humans should be more friendly to dogs.
D. Training plays an important role in raising dogs.
15. What’s the best title for the text
A. Dogs can bring surprising health benefits
B. Dogs are good translators in a new environment
C. Dogs that are often exposed to humans are more intelligent
D. Dogs can distinguish between familiar and unfamiliar human languages
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. A 15. D
【解析】

细节理解题。根据第一段“If you were to move to a new country with a different language and bring along the family dog, your pet would likely have a hard time understanding commands from the locals9 according to a new study looking at how dogs’ brains react to different languages.(根据一项关于狗狗大脑对不同语言反应的新研究，如果你带着家里的狗狗搬到一个讲不同语言的新国家，你的宠物可能很难理解当地人的命令)”可知，这项新研究发现了狗在国外会遇到语言障碍。故选B。
【13题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段“Cuaya and her team trained 18 dogs, including Kun-kun, to lie motionless in an MRI machine so the researchers could scan their brains. As the dogs were being scanned, the researchers played the dogs three different recordings: a Spanish reading from the famous children’s book The Little Prince; a Japanese reading from the same book; and a series of human noises that did not resemble speech at all. (Cuaya和她的团队训练了包括Kun-kun在内的18只狗，让它们一动不动地躺在核磁共振成像仪上，这样研究人员就可以扫描它们的大脑了。在扫描狗狗的时候，研究人员给狗狗播放了三段不同的录音：著名儿童读物《小王子》中的西班牙语朗读；读同一本书的日本人；以及一系列完全不像说话的人类声音)”可知，第三段主要告诉了我们研究的过程。故选C。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段““Their brains detected the difference naturally, perhaps due to the domestication process,” Cuaya said. “While it is possible that many species can distinguish between human languages 9 dogs are one of the few that are interested in hearing us.”(Cuaya说：“他们的大脑很自然地发现了这种差异，可能是由于驯化过程。虽然可能有很多物种都能区分人类的语言，但狗是少数对听我们说话感兴趣的物种之一。”)”可推知，Cuaya在最后一段想表达驯化有助于狗更好地与人类相处。故选A。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“If you were to move to a new country with a different language and bring along the family dog, your pet would likely have a hard time understanding commands from the locals9 according to a new study looking at how dogs’ brains react to different languages.(根据一项关于狗狗大脑对不同语言反应的新研究，如果你带着家里的狗狗搬到一个讲不同语言的新国家，你的宠物可能很难理解当地人的命令)”结合文章介绍了研究开展的过程以及发现。可知，D选项“狗能区分熟悉和不熟悉的人类语言”最符合文章标题。故选D。

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。
Throughout life, we come across many people who impact us in a way. Their impact can be for a day or for a lifetime. It’s common not to recognize the impact someone has left on you until a certain moment. The person who left a great impact on me is my dad.
Three months after turning fourteen, my life was great. I was getting settled into a high school; my grades were already starting off greatly and I was making friends.
One day as I came home from school, I walked into the living room, finding my mom and dad talking. My parents turned to me and told me to sit down because there was something important they had to tell me. I soon found out that my dad’s liver was failing and he needed an immediate transplant. I was shocked and confused because my dad seemed fine. He was working and never looked sick. My parents told me not to worry because everything would be fine. Four months had passed and my dad still had not received a new liver ; he was progressively getting worse. His body seemed to be getting weaker, but he constantly said he was fine.
It was getting hard for my family and me. My dad had to quit his job leaving my mom to be the only provider. I had to take on the responsibility of cleaning the house, cooking meals and checking on my dad while my mom was at work. I had to cut back on hanging with my friends because my dad was beginning to go in and out of the hospital. My focus for school was starting to slip. So were my grades. Two nights before my school spring break, my mom received a call from the hospital that my dad had been in a car accident and that he was in hospital. Surprisingly, my dad hadn’t received a scratch on him. Then next night my mom received a call from the doctor stating that there was a liver that matched my dad’s body and that he needed to get to the hospital immediately.
注意:

I had to take on so many responsibilities at home.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】My parents and I rushed to the hospital. After various examinations, my father was rushed into the operating room, leaving my mother and me a big smile from which we read the word FINE. Three hours’ waiting seemed like a lifetime during which my mother kept comforting me by saying “Your dad said everything will be just fine!” The time when the door opened and out came a smiling doctor who informed us the good news, my mother burst into tears. Three weeks later my father was able to be out of the hospital but he still needed special care at home which was a responsibility of me because my mother had to work all day outside.
I had to take on so many responsibilities at home. Housework and the care for my father took up most of the day, leaving little time for my study. But everyday my father told me the same thing “Honey, everything will be just fine!” Six months later, my father was fully recovered and four years later I graduated as a top student. Time took away so many happy moments of my family but left us something most important “Honey, everything will be just fine!”
