二、阅读(共两节，满分50分)
第一节 (共11小题，每小题2.5分，满分27.5分)
A
Rome can be pricey for travelers, which is why many choose to stay in a hostel (旅社). The hostels in Rome offer a bed in a dorm room for around $25 a night, and for that, you’ll often get to stay in a central location (位置) with security and comfort.
Yellow Hostel
If I had to make just one recommendation for where to stay in Rome, it would be Yellow Hostel. It’s one of the best-rated hostels in the city, and for good reason. It’s affordable, and it’s got a fun atmosphere without being too noisy. As an added bonus, it’s close to the main train station.
Hostel Alessandro Palace
If you love social hostels, this is the best hostel for you in Rome. Hostel Alessandro Palace is fun. Staff members hold plenty of bar events for guests like free shots, bar crawls and karaoke. There’s also an area on the rooftop for hanging out with other travelers during the summer.
Youth Station Hostel
If you’re looking for cleanliness and a modern hostel, look no further than Youth Station. It offers beautiful furnishings and beds. There are plenty of other benefits, too; it doesn’t charge city tax; it has both air conditioning and a heater for the rooms; it also has free Wi-Fi in every room.
Hotel and Hostel Des Artistes
Hotel and Hostel Des Artistes is located just a 10-minute walk from the central city station and it’s close to all of the city’s main attractions. The staff is friendly and helpful, providing you with a map of the city when you arrive, and offering advice if you require some. However, you need to pay 2 euros a day for Wi-Fi.

I’m a seventeen- year- old boy preparing for my A Level exams at the end of the year. In the society where my peers (同龄人) and I live, we tend to accept the rat race values. As students, we want to get good grades so that we can get good jobs. I enjoy studying and have always received A’s in my classes. There was a year when I finished first in my class in the final exams. It was a great achievement.
Another one I am pleased with is that I managed to improve the relationship between Mum and Dad. Dad was a successful businessman who was rarely at home. Mum was a housewife who always felt bored and nagged (唠叨) him to let her go to work. Their frequent arguing bothered me, so I advised Dad that Mum would be better off with a part- time job. He agreed, and their relationship has improved since then.
My most proud achievement, however, is my successful work in the local old folks’ home. My grandparents had raised me since I was a child. I wept (哭泣) bitterly when they died. Unlike many of my classmates, I do not take part in my school’s community service to earn points. I enjoy my voluntary work and believe I’m contributing to a worthwhile cause. This is where I can help. I talk to the elderly, help them with their daily life, and listen to their problems, happy days and the hardships they experienced.
Last year, I hosted a successful New Year party for the elderly and they enjoyed a great time. Many expressed a desire to attend another party the following year. When I reflect on my accomplishments, I’m especially proud of my service at the old folks’ home, so I hope to study social work at university and work as a social worker in the future. I wish to be more skilled in attending to the less fortunate as well as find great satisfaction in it, after all.

It can be incredibly difficult to encourage ourselves to go for a run during winter, particularly when it’s wet and windy outside. But new research has found that even a super-quick run could have great health benefits. In fact, it seems that just a 10-minute session will not only make us feel better, but could actually improve brain health, too. Now, we all know that exercise can improve mental and physical health in many ways.
But when it comes to mental well-being, there’s been relatively little research done on the specific benefits of running, compared with other physical activities, such as cycling. So this was something put to the test during a recent study. Researchers from University of Tsukuba in Japan asked participants (参加者) to run on a treadmill (跑步机) for just 10 minutes. They then had to take a Stroop Color and Word Test which is used to measure reaction time in brain processing. Results showed there was a highest point in self-reported pleasure and an increase in degree of activity of the brain.
In other words, runners were found to have an increase in blood flow in the part of the brain that’s associated with dealing with functions and controlling mood (情绪). Researchers then compared these results to a similar study on cycling, which also showed improved cognition (认知), but no mood improvement. Therefore, it seems various types of exercise can make us feel differently.
The authors noted, “Given exercise is medicine, the effects of drugs differ depending on the type of drug, and different types of exercise such as running and cycling should be observed to have different effects on mental health and brain functions as well.”
So pushing ourselves to get outside for a run really will make us feel better, probably more than other fitness activities. And these findings show that we don’t necessarily need to do a lot of exercise to feel the benefit of it.
8. What did the new research find
A. Running fast benefits all of us.
B. Running is the best exercise.
C. A short time run can be beneficial.
D. A healthy mind encourages us to run.
9. How did the researchers get the result
A. By using different drugs on participants.
B. By interviewing some sportsmen.
C. By collecting information on the Internet.
D. By doing experiments and comparisons.
10. Which is related to our happiness
A. Cycling. B. Medicine. C. Blood flow. D. Colors.
11. What is the main idea of the text
A. We should go for a run in winter.
B. Running really benefits us mentally.
C. We don’t need a lot of exercise.
D. Running on a treadmill is better than running outside.
D
The internet will open up new vistas (前景), create the global village —you can make new friends all around the world .That, at least, is what it promised us. The difficulty is that it did not take the human mind into account. The reality is that we cannot keep relationships with more than a limited number of people. No matter how hard the internet tries to put you in communication, its best efforts will be defeated human mind.
The problem is twofold（双重的）.First, there is a limit on the number of people we can hold in mind and have a meaningful relationship with. That number is about 150 and is set by the size of our brain. Second, the quality of your relationships depends on the amount of time you invest（投入）in them. We invest a lot in a small number of people and then distribution what’s left among as many others as we can. The problem is that if we invest little time in a person, our engagement with that person will decline（减弱）until eventually it dies into “someone I once knew”.
This is not, of course, to say that the internet doesn’t serve a socially valuable function. Of course it does. But the question is not that it allows you to increase the size of your social circle to include the rest of the world, but that you can keep your relationships with your existing friends going even though you have to move to the other side of the world.
In one sense, that’s a good thing. But it also has a disadvantage. If you continue to invest in your old friends even though you can no longer see then, then certainly you aren’t using your time to make new friends where you now live. And I suspect that probably isn’ t the best use of your time. Meaningful relationships are about being able to communicate with each other, face to face. The internet will slow down the rate with which relationships end, but it won’t stop that happening eventually.
12. What is stressed in the first paragraph
A. The present situation of the internet.
B. The difficulty in communication on the internet.
C. The socially valuable function of the internet.
D. The role of the human mind in the internet communication.
13. The underlined word “engagement” in the second paragraph probably means “ ”.
A. appointment B. connection C. interview D. agreement
14. According to the passage, the author holds the view that .
A. the internet fails to play so valuable a role in communication as it promised
B. the Internet determines the quality of social relationships
C. the internet greatly increases the size of social circles
D. the internet communication is no less effective than the face-to-face talk
15. What is the author’s attitude towards the use of the internet to strengthen relationships
A. He is uncertain about it. B. He is hopeful of it
C. He approves of it D. He doubts it

It can be incredibly difficult to encourage ourselves to go for a run during winter, particularly when it’s wet and windy outside. But new research has found that even a super-quick run could have great health benefits. In fact, it seems that just a 10-minute session will not only make us feel better, but could actually improve brain health, too. Now, we all know that exercise can improve mental and physical health in many ways.
But when it comes to mental well-being, there’s been relatively little research done on the specific benefits of running, compared with other physical activities, such as cycling. So this was something put to the test during a recent study. Researchers from University of Tsukuba in Japan asked participants (参加者) to run on a treadmill (跑步机) for just 10 minutes. They then had to take a Stroop Color and Word Test which is used to measure reaction time in brain processing. Results showed there was a highest point in self-reported pleasure and an increase in degree of activity of the brain.
In other words, runners were found to have an increase in blood flow in the part of the brain that’s associated with dealing with functions and controlling mood (情绪). Researchers then compared these results to a similar study on cycling, which also showed improved cognition (认知), but no mood improvement. Therefore, it seems various types of exercise can make us feel differently.
The authors noted, “Given exercise is medicine, the effects of drugs differ depending on the type of drug, and different types of exercise such as running and cycling should be observed to have different effects on mental health and brain functions as well.”
So pushing ourselves to get outside for a run really will make us feel better, probably more than other fitness activities. And these findings show that we don’t necessarily need to do a lot of exercise to feel the benefit of it.
8. What did the new research find
A. Running fast benefits all of us.
B. Running is the best exercise.
C. A short time run can be beneficial.
D. A healthy mind encourages us to run.
9. How did the researchers get the result
A. By using different drugs on participants.
B. By interviewing some sportsmen.
C. By collecting information on the Internet.
D. By doing experiments and comparisons.
10. Which is related to our happiness
A. Cycling. B. Medicine. C. Blood flow. D. Colors.
11. What is the main idea of the text
A. We should go for a run in winter.
B. Running really benefits us mentally.
C. We don’t need a lot of exercise.
D. Running on a treadmill is better than running outside.

The internet will open up new vistas (前景), create the global village —you can make new friends all around the world .That, at least, is what it promised us. The difficulty is that it did not take the human mind into account. The reality is that we cannot keep relationships with more than a limited number of people. No matter how hard the internet tries to put you in communication, its best efforts will be defeated human mind.
The problem is twofold（双重的）.First, there is a limit on the number of people we can hold in mind and have a meaningful relationship with. That number is about 150 and is set by the size of our brain. Second, the quality of your relationships depends on the amount of time you invest（投入）in them. We invest a lot in a small number of people and then distribution what’s left among as many others as we can. The problem is that if we invest little time in a person, our engagement with that person will decline（减弱）until eventually it dies into “someone I once knew”.
This is not, of course, to say that the internet doesn’t serve a socially valuable function. Of course it does. But the question is not that it allows you to increase the size of your social circle to include the rest of the world, but that you can keep your relationships with your existing friends going even though you have to move to the other side of the world.
In one sense, that’s a good thing. But it also has a disadvantage. If you continue to invest in your old friends even though you can no longer see then, then certainly you aren’t using your time to make new friends where you now live. And I suspect that probably isn’ t the best use of your time. Meaningful relationships are about being able to communicate with each other, face to face. The internet will slow down the rate with which relationships end, but it won’t stop that happening eventually.
12. What is stressed in the first paragraph
A. The present situation of the internet.
B. The difficulty in communication on the internet.
C. The socially valuable function of the internet.
D. The role of the human mind in the internet communication.
13. The underlined word “engagement” in the second paragraph probably means “ ”.
A. appointment B. connection C. interview D. agreement
14. According to the passage, the author holds the view that .
A. the internet fails to play so valuable a role in communication as it promised
B. the Internet determines the quality of social relationships
C. the internet greatly increases the size of social circles
D. the internet communication is no less effective than the face-to-face talk
15. What is the author’s attitude towards the use of the internet to strengthen relationships
A. He is uncertain about it. B. He is hopeful of it
C. He approves of it D. He doubts it
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. A 15. D

46. 我觉得我的大多数同学和老师都很友好，而且乐于助人。
I ______ most of my classmates and teachers ______.
【答案】 ①. found ②. friendly and helpful
【解析】
【详解】考查动词和形容词。根据所给中文句子和英文翻译可知，空一需翻译部分是“觉得”，句子缺少谓语，用动词find，描述已发生的事，用一般过去时，第二空还需翻译“很友好而且乐于助人”，此处用形容词，译为friendly and helpful，作宾语补足语。故填①thought，②friendly and helpful。
47. 青少年时期养成的好习惯会产生巨大的影响。
Good habits formed at youth ______.
【答案】make a huge difference
【解析】
【详解】考查动词短语。“产生影响”用动词短语为make a difference，作谓语，描述客观事实用一般现在时态，主语habits是复数名词，谓语也用复数形式；“巨大的”作定语，用形容词huge。故填make a huge difference。
48. 我知道作为高中生我得更加努力地学习，学会习惯承担更多的责任。
I know I'll have to study harder as a senior high school student and ________ ________ ________ ________ ________ ________ a lot more.
【答案】 ①. get ②. used ③. to ④. being ⑤. responsible ⑥. for
【解析】
【详解】考查固定短语。表示“习惯做某事”短语为get used to doing sth.；表示“为……负责”短语为be responsible for，此处应用动名词作宾语。故填get used to being responsible for。
49. 然而，花费太多时间上网有损健康，也会让你们很难把精力放在生活中的其他事情上。
But spending too much time online is unhealthy and ______ to focus on other things in life.
【答案】make it very difficult
【解析】
【详解】考查固时态，形容词和形式宾语。此句为句型：make+it+adj.+to do sth.，意为“使做某事变得……”，其中it作形式宾语，真正的宾语是后面的不定式to focus on other things in life， “很难”译为very difficult，作宾语补足语，故填make it very difficult。
50. 千里之行，始于足下。
A thousand-mile journey ________.
【答案】begins with the first step
【解析】
【详解】考查时态，固定短语和主谓一致。对比中英文句子可知，空格处意为“始于足下”，“始于”是固定短语begin with sth.，“足下”指的是第一步，即the first step，句子描述客观事实，时态用一般现在时，journey是单数，因此begin用第三人称单数。故填begins with the first step。

【答案】Dear Jack,
I’m sorry to know that you’re having difficulty falling asleep. What’s worse, this kind of symptom has affected your normal study and life after the mid-term exam this semester.
The truth is that everyone will have one of those periods when things seem to be going wrong, so you don’t have to worry so much. Here are three useful tips: First, talk to someone you trust about how you feel. This is a good way of letting your stress out without hurting yourself. Second, go outdoors and play games with your friends as physical exercise is an effective way to have good sleep. And third, remain optimistic about your future.
I hope you’ll soon feel calmer and carry on as normal.
Yours,
Li Hua
