Beaches are great places for fun and relaxation of the travel world. These slivers of sand against the ocean make you realize that “real life” occasionally needs escaping. If you are beach lovers, the following ones are worth your visit.
Playa Paraiso
One of the wonderful beaches in the world is Playa Paraiso in Cuba’s finest beach island Cayo Largo. The weather is usually calm and the sea here remains shallow most of the year. Most people go to Playa Paraiso to enjoy calm water to swim or simply relax on the beach.
Nungwi
Nungwi is considered to be the most beautiful beach of Zanzibar. The island has long been loved by adventurous travelers for its mysterious old Stone Town and about 30 untouched beaches. The blue waters and coral (珊瑚) around Nungwi are home to many marine creatures.
Maya Bay
Maya Bay is a white sand beach hugged by steep cliffs. Coral reefs make it an excellent spot for snorkeling (浮潜). This strikingly beautiful beach has got more attention after featuring in the Leonardo DiCaprio film The Beach, but it’s still worth visiting for the dramatic setting and snorkeling opportunities.
Sun Island
Recognized as the world’s best beach, Sun Island is located on a beach lover’s paradise, Maldives. This diamond in the middle of the Indian Ocean has become a favorite with ocean lovers drawn by the thought of sleeping over the water. Nearby coral reefs attract thousands of tropical fish, snorkelers and divers. But you don’t even need to snorkel to enjoy the scenery — parts of the reef are visible from the beach, so clear is the water.
1. If you are fond of untouched beaches, which one will you choose to travel
A. Playa Paraiso. B. Maya Bay.
C. Sun Island. D. Nungwi.
2. What is special about Sun Island
A. It has many diamonds.

Color may influence the way food tastes for picky (挑剔的) eaters, according to a new study published in the journal Food Quality and Preference.
Stafford’s research team did an experiment with about 50 participants, who were mostly young adults around 20 years old. The study divided the individuals into picky and non-picky eaters, based on their responses to a certain measure. Both groups then tasted the same snacks served in red, white and blue bowls.
The results showed the color of the bowls influenced how the picky group perceived (感知) the saltiness and desirability of the foods — but did not influence the non-picky group. The picky group thought that the snack served in the red bowl was least desirable and the snack was higher in saltiness in the red and blue bowl — compared with the white bowl.
“Picky eating usually starts in childhood,” Dr. Lama Bazzi said. She explained that if picky eating is not solved properly as a child, it can be developed later into certain eating disorders.
All of this is because of a sense of control and a sense of safety. So when talking about the colors of the bowls in the research study, it probably has to do with what makes that person feel safe, such as what colors are connected with safety. The colors blue, green and purple are considered “safer” colors, while the color red is usually connected with “stop”.
Supermarkets use similar psychology (心理学) to catch people’s attention. Children’s cups are colorfully designed to entice kids, giving them a sense of safety and making it fun for them to drink something. When advertisers want customers to buy chips or food, the packaging (包装) tends to use warm and inviting colors that remind people of their childhood.
Stafford noted that the research is primary, yet the data may help picky eaters to eat various food.
8. What do we know about the experiment
A. The participants were all young adults.
B. Different snacks were served in different colors of bowls.
C. Color of the bowls didn’t influence the non-picky group.
D. The picky group thought the snacks in the white bowl saltier.
9. What color might help lose weight according to the text
A. Blue. B. Red.
C. Green. D. Purple.
10. What does the underlined word “entice” in Paragraph 6 mean
A. Attract. B. Force.
C. Admit. D. Warn.
11. Why do advertisers use warm and inviting colors for packaging
A. To remind people of their childhood.
B. To give people a sense of safety.
C. To solve people’s eating disorders.
D. To attract people to buy goods.
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. A 11. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文，根据发表在《食品质量与偏好》杂志上的一项新研究，颜色可能会影响挑食者食物的味道。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“The results showed the color of the bowls influenced how the picky group perceived (感知) the saltiness and desirability of the foods — but did not influence the non-picky group.(结果显示，碗的颜色会影响挑食组对食物的咸味和吸引力的感知，但对非挑食组没有影响)”可知，碗的颜色对非挑食组没有影响。故选C。
【9题详解】

【10题详解】
词义猜测题。根据画线词后“giving them a sense of safety and making it fun for them to drink something(给他们一种安全感，让他们喝东西变得有趣)”可知，此处指“儿童杯的色彩设计是为了吸引孩子”，entice意为“吸引”。故选A。
【11题详解】

Technological change is everywhere and affects every aspect of life, mostly for the better. However, social changes are brought about by new technology are often mistaken for a change in attitudes.
An example at hand is the involvement of parents in the lives of their children who are attending college. Surveys (调查) on this topic suggests that parents today continue to be “very” or “somewhat” overly-protective even after their children move into college dormitories. The same surveys also indicate that the rate of parental involvement is greater today than it was a generation ago. This is usually interpreted as a sign that today’s parents are trying to manage their children’s lives past the point where this behavior is appropriate.
However, greater parental involvement does not necessarily indicate that parents are failing to let go of their “adult” children.
In the context (背景) of this discussion, it seems valuable to first find out the cause of change in the case of parents’ involvement with their grown children. If parents of earlier generations had wanted to be in touch with their college-age children frequently, would this have been possible Probably not. On the other hand, does the possibility of frequent communication today mean that the urge to do so wasn’t present a generation ago Many studies show that older parents — today’s grandparents — would have called their children more often if the means and cost of doing so had not been a barrier.
Furthermore, studies show that finances are the most frequent subject of communication between parents and their college children. The fact that college students are financially dependent on their parents is nothing new; nor are requests for more money to be sent from home. This phenomenon is neither good nor bad; it is a fact of college life, today and in the past.
Thanks to the advanced technology we live in an age of bettered communication. This has many implications well beyondthe role that parents seem to play in the lives of their children who have left for college. But it is useful to bear in mind that all such changes come from the technology and not some imagined desire by parents to keep their children under their wings.
12. The surveys inform us of ______.
A. the development of technology
B. the changes of adult children’s behavior
C. the parents’ over-protection of their college children
D. the means and expenses of students’ communication
13. The writer believes that ______.
A. parents today are more protective than those in the past
B. the disadvantages of new technology outweigh its advantages
C. technology explains greater parental involvement with their children
D. parents’ changed attitudes lead to college children’s delayed independence
14. What is the best title for the passage
A. Technology or Attitude
B. Dependence or Independence
C. Family Influence or Social Changes
D. College Management or Communication Advancement
15. Which of the following shows the development of ideas in this passage
I:Introduction
P:Point
Sp:Sub-point
C:Conclusion
A. B. C. D.
【答案】12. C 13. C 14. A 15. B
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇议论文。文章以父母对于上大学的成年子女过度保护的问题为例，提出了科技带来的一些改变容易被误认为态度的改变的论点。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段第二句话“Surveys (调查) on this topic suggests that parents today continue to be “very” or “somewhat” overly-protective even after their children move into college dormitories.(关于这个话题的调查显示，即使在孩子搬进大学宿舍后，今天的父母仍然“非常”或“有点”过度保护孩子)”可知，调查显示现在的父母在孩子上大学之后仍然非常或者某种程度上地过度保护子女。故选C。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“However, greater parental involvement does not necessarily indicate that parents are failing to let go of their “adult” children.(然而，更多的父母参与并不一定意味着父母不放过他们的“成年”孩子)”及第四段最后一句“Many studies show that older parents — today’s grandparents — would have called their children more often if the means and cost of doing so had not been a barrier.(许多研究表明，如果不是因为打电话的方式和费用成为障碍，年纪较大的父母——现在的祖父母——会更频繁地打电话给他们的孩子)”和最后一段“Thanks to the advanced technology, we live in an age of bettered communication.(由于先进的技术，我们生活在一个更好的交流的时代)”可知，作者认为出现父母与孩子更多的接触的真正原因是科技的发展使得交流手段更丰富，成本更低廉。故选C。
【14题详解】
主旨大意题。第一段第二句“However, social changes are brought about by new technology are often mistaken for a change in attitudes.(然而，新技术带来的社会变化往往被误认为是态度的变化)”提出了这种科技的改变容易被误认为态度的改变。第2-5段讨论到底是科技还是态度的改变。第6段再次明确表示是科技的改变。由此可知，Technology or Attitude(科技还是态度)适合做本文最佳标题。故选A。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。文章第一段是introduction，第二段是第一个论点，指出父母在子女生活中参与度提高的现象。第三段是第二个论点（关键词However），指出通过调查并不能推断出父母未能对子女放手，分论点一是科技的进步导致父母对子女生活更多的参与，分论点二(关键词Furthermore)是子女经济不独立导致父母对子女生活的过多参与。最后一段总结。故选B。

【36题详解】
考查介词。句意：东京——周二上午，雌性大熊猫香香离开东京上野动物园，飞回祖国中国。具体某天上下午晚上用介词 on。故填on。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：中国驻日本大使馆的一位发言人表示：“以大熊猫为代表的中日野生动物保护合作是两国友好交流的一个很好的例子。”分析句子可知本句有谓语 is a wonderful example，故填非谓语动词，represent与被修饰名词 cooperation之间是被动关系，故用过去分词作定语。故填represented。
【38题详解】
考查冠词。句意：该发言人表示，今年是《中日和平友好条约》缔结45周年，对大熊猫的热爱有望推动更多的中日友好交流和互利合作。序数词前用定冠词。故填the。

【46题详解】
考查名词。根据第一段中“She had a quarrel with her mother that afternoon and she ran out of the house angrily.(那天下午她和妈妈吵了一架，生气地跑出了屋子。)”可知，Jenny离家是很生气；题干中作介词宾语，用名词anger。故第①空填anger；
2.考查形容词。根据第一段中“She couldn’t help weeping sorrowfully when she thought of the scolding from her mother.(一想到母亲的责骂，她就忍不住伤心地哭了起来。)”可知，Jenny感到很伤心并哭了起来；题干中作表语，用形容词sorrowful。故第②空填sorrowful；
3.考查非谓语动词。根据第一段中“Wandering aimlessly in the street for hours, she felt a little hungry(她在街上漫无目的地游荡了几个小时，感到有点饿了)”可知，Jenny街上游荡；题干中用现在分词作伴随状语，句首单词首字母大写。故第③空填Wandering；
4.考查动词时态。根据第一段中“she felt a little hungry and wished for something to eat(她感到有点饿，想要吃点东西)”可知，Jenny饿了，想吃东西；用动词expect作谓语动词，意为“期待”，讲述过去的事情用一般过去时态expected。故第④空填expected；
5.考查形容词。根据第一段中“she felt a little hungry and wished for something to eat, but it was not possible for her(她感到有点饿了，想要吃点东西，但那是不可能的)”可知，找不到吃的，吃东西是不可能的；用形容词impossible作表语。故第⑤空填impossible；
6.根据第四段中““That’s nothing. I’ll treat you today,” said the man.(“没关系。今天我请你，”那人说。)”可知，面摊的小贩请Jenny吃面；用动词treat作谓语动词，讲述过去的事情用一般过去时态treated。故第⑥空填treated；
7.考查形容词。根据第五段中“As she was eating, Jenny cried silently.(珍妮一边吃，一边默默地哭着。)”和第七段中““Nothing, actually I was just touched by your kindness!” said Jenny as she wiped her tears.(“没什么，其实我只是被你的善良感动了!”珍妮一边擦眼泪一边说。)”可知，Jenny被小贩的善良感动了，默默地哭泣；用形容词moved作表语。故第⑦空填moved；

9.根据最后一段中“Even a stranger on the street will give me a bowl of noodles, while my mother drove me out of the house. She showed no care for me. She is so merciless compared to a stranger!(即使是街上的陌生人也会给我一碗面条，而我的母亲则把我赶出家门。她对我毫不关心。与陌生人相比，她是如此无情!)”可知，Jenny在抱怨自己的妈妈；用动词complain作谓语动词，用一般过去时态。故第⑨空填complained；
10.考查形容词。根据最后一段中“She showed no care for me. She is so merciless compared to a stranger!(她对我毫不关心。与陌生人相比，她是如此无情!)”可知，Jenny认为妈妈对自己太严厉了；用形容词strict作表语。故第⑩空填strict；
【47题详解】
考查推理判断。根据第一段中“She had a quarrel with her mother that afternoon and she ran out of the house angrily.(那天下午她和妈妈吵了一架，生气地跑出了房子。)”可推知，Jenny是在和妈妈吵架后跑出去的，所以，跑出房子后，她应该仍然在生妈妈的气。故答案为：Jenny was angry with her mother.
【48题详解】
考查推理判断。根据故事情节可知，在听了Jenny的抱怨后，面摊老板会安慰她，他可能这样说：女孩，你真的这么想吗 我只给了你一碗面条，你却很感谢我。但从你还是个婴儿起，就是你妈妈把你养大的。你能数出她给你做饭的次数吗 你向她表示感谢了吗 故答案为：Girl, do you really think so I only gave you a bowl of noodles and you thanked me a lot. But it is your mother who has raised you since you were a baby. Can you number the times she cooked for you Have you expressed your gratitude to her
【49题详解】
考查推理判断。根据故事情节可知，在听了面摊老板的话后，Jenny认识到了自己的错误，理解了妈妈伟大的爱，所以她会回到了家，并给妈妈道歉。故答案为：Jenny will finally understand her mother’s love and return home to apologize to her mom.

Beaches are great places for fun and relaxation of the travel world. These slivers of sand against the ocean make you realize that “real life” occasionally needs escaping. If you are beach lovers the following ones are worth your visit.
Playa Paraiso
One of the wonderful beaches in the world is Playa Paraiso in Cuba’s finest beach island Cayo Largo. The weather is usually calm and the sea here remains shallow most of the year. Most people go to Playa Paraiso to enjoy calm water to swim or simply relax on the beach.
Nungwi
Nungwi is considered to be the most beautiful beach of Zanzibar. The island has long been loved by adventurous travelers for its mysterious old Stone Town and about 30 untouched beaches. The blue waters and coral (珊瑚) around Nungwi are home to many marine creatures.
Maya Bay
Maya Bay is a white sand beach hugged by steep cliffs. Coral reefs make it an excellent spot for snorkeling (浮潜). This strikingly beautiful beach has got more attention after featuring in the Leonardo DiCaprio film The Beach, but it’s still worth visiting for the dramatic setting and snorkeling opportunities.
Sun Island
Recognized as the world’s best beach, Sun Island is located on a beach lover’s paradise, Maldives. This diamond in the middle of the Indian Ocean has become a favorite with ocean lovers drawn by the thought of sleeping over the water. Nearby coral reefs attract thousands of tropical fish, snorkelers and divers. But you don’t even need to snorkel to enjoy the scenery — parts of the reef are visible from the beach, so clear is the water.

Color may influence the way food tastes for picky (挑剔的) eaters, according to a new study published in the journal Food Quality and Preference.
Stafford’s research team did an experiment with about 50 participants, who were mostly young adults around 20 years old. The study divided the individuals into picky and non-picky eaters, based on their responses to a certain measure. Both groups then tasted the same snacks served in red, white and blue bowls.
The results showed the color of the bowls influenced how the picky group perceived (感知) the saltiness and desirability of the foods — but did not influence the non-picky group. The picky group thought that the snack served in the red bowl was least desirable and the snack was higher in saltiness in the red and blue bowl — compared with the white bowl.
“Picky eating usually starts in childhood,” Dr. Lama Bazzi said. She explained that if picky eating is not solved properly as a child, it can be developed later into certain eating disorders.
All of this is because of a sense of control and a sense of safety. So when talking about the colors of the bowls in the research study, it probably has to do with what makes that person feel safe, such as what colors are connected with safety. The colors blue, green and purple are considered “safer” colors, while the color red is usually connected with “stop”.
Supermarkets use similar psychology (心理学) to catch people’s attention. Children’s cups are colorfully designed to entice kids, giving them a sense of safety and making it fun for them to drink something. When advertisers want customers to buy chips or food, the packaging (包装) tends to use warm and inviting colors that remind people of their childhood.
Stafford noted that the research is primary, yet the data may help picky eaters to eat various food.
8. What do we know about the experiment
A. The participants were all young adults.
B. Different snacks were served in different colors of bowls.
C. Color of the bowls didn’t influence the non-picky group.
D. The picky group thought the snacks in the white bowl saltier.
9. What color might help lose weight according to the text
A. Blue. B. Red.
C. Green. D. Purple.
10. What does the underlined word “entice” in Paragraph 6 mean
A. Attract. B. Force.
C. Admit. D. Warn.
11. Why do advertisers use warm and inviting colors for packaging
A. To remind people of their childhood.
B. To give people a sense of safety.
C. To solve people’s eating disorders.
D. To attract people to buy goods.
D
Technological change is everywhere and affects every aspect of life, mostly for the better. However, social changes are brought about by new technology are often mistaken for a change in attitudes.
An example at hand is the involvement of parents in the lives of their children who are attending college. Surveys (调查) on this topic suggests that parents today continue to be “very” or “somewhat” overly-protective even after their children move into college dormitories. The same surveys also indicate that the rate of parental involvement is greater today than it was a generation ago. This is usually interpreted as a sign that today’s parents are trying to manage their children’s lives past the point where this behavior is appropriate.
However, greater parental involvement does not necessarily indicate that parents are failing to let go of their “adult” children.
In the context (背景) of this discussion, it seems valuable to first find out the cause of change in the case of parents’ involvement with their grown children. If parents of earlier generations had wanted to be in touch with their college-age children frequently, would this have been possible Probably not. On the other hand, does the possibility of frequent communication today mean that the urge to do so wasn’t present a generation ago Many studies show that older parents — today’s grandparents — would have called their children more often if the means and cost of doing so had not been a barrier.
Furthermore, studies show that finances are the most frequent subject of communication between parents and their college children. The fact that college students are financially dependent on their parents is nothing new; nor are requests for more money to be sent from home. This phenomenon is neither good nor bad; it is a fact of college life, today and in the past.
Thanks to the advanced technology, we live in an age of bettered communication. This has many implications well beyondthe role that parents seem to play in the lives of their children who have left for college. But it is useful to bear in mind that all such changes come from the technology and not some imagined desire by parents to keep their children under their wings.
12. The surveys inform us of ______.
A. the development of technology
B. the changes of adult children’s behavior
C. the parents’ over-protection of their college children
D. the means and expenses of students’ communication
13. The writer believes that ______.
A. parents today are more protective than those in the past
B. the disadvantages of new technology outweigh its advantages
C. technology explains greater parental involvement with their children
D. parents’ changed attitudes lead to college children’s delayed independence
14. What is the best title for the passage
A. Technology or Attitude
B. Dependence or Independence
C. Family Influence or Social Changes
D. College Management or Communication Advancement
15. Which of the following shows the development of ideas in this passage
I:Introduction
P:Point
Sp:Sub-point
C:Conclusion
A. B. C. D.
