【原文】M: Hello, everyone. We are lucky to have Molly Taylor here today. Molly is organizing an activity course for the summer holidays. Molly, this is the second year of the course, isn’t it?
W: Yes. The summer course operated for the first time last year for a six-week period. We did think about making it longer this year and have a seven-week course, as there’re some schools which finish term a week earlier. In fact, two schools have eight-week holidays. But in the end we decided to keep to the same plan as last year.
M: But, as I understand, last year’s course wasn’t a complete success, was it?
W: Well, we were actually very surprised by the number of people interested in the course. We didn’t actually have enough assistants to look after all the children. Besides, there was such a lot of rain that we couldn’t go outside as often as we wanted to.
M: So, what activities can the children look forward to this year?
W: Well, once again there’ll be artists and musicians who will lead creative classes. We also considered providing some more exciting adventure sports. But we decided not to, in the end. Instead we’re introducing some fun programs. I think it’ll be good fun for children.

17. What difficulty did the speaker have when starting to learn French?

18. Why did the speaker go to France?

B. Knowing a large number of words.
C. Using the language in real life.
【答案】17. C 18. C 19. A 20. C
【解析】
【原文】Pleased to be here today. My name’s Joan and I’d like to share with you something about my French learning. I still remember when I first started to learn the language I didn’t really have a problem with the pronunciation. I just had a hard time memorizing words. But I made a great effort and soon I was scoring ten out of ten in all of the tests. By the time I got to university, I could do some writing and translations without much difficulty, and I actually enjoyed learning the grammar rules. Then as part of my university course I had to go and live in France for a year. As soon as I arrived, I realized I didn’t know how to order the type of coffee I liked, and trying to find somewhere to live or stay was something difficult to deal with. I called people about information in the paper, but I had to keep putting the phone down because I couldn’t understand a word they were saying — they all spoke so quickly!I could see then that there’s no point in just knowing words if you can’t hold a conversation with a native speaker. The ability to speak freely is what helps you get a job, hold a conversation or just buy things you need.

A PhD student in Michigan defended her paper while wearing a skirt made of rejection letters she received while studying. 29-year-old Caitlin Kirby printed out 17 of her rejection letters — from scholarships, academic journals, and conferences — then folded each one into a fan. She connected them in rows, and by the end she designed the item into a skirt and wore it.
She said that the idea behind her unique clothing item came out of a desire to normalize rejection and take pride in overcoming it. "The whole process of revisiting those old letters and making that skirt sort of reminded me that you have to apply to a lot of things to succeed," she said. "A natural part of the process is to get rejected along the way."
Caitlin's adviser, Julie Libarkin, a professor of earth and environmental science at Michigan State University, also encourages the acceptance of failure in her students. Libarkin believes it's important for students to get into habit of applying for things, and to get used to the feeling of rejection, so she encourages them to chase after any opportunity that comes their way. If a student doesn't get the grant or the spot in the academic journal, that's okay. They'll still have learned something in the process.
As for Caitlin? Her rejections over the years have led to great things: Since her doctorate, she's won a scholarship to do further research on urban agriculture in Germany.
Currently, she's a post-doctoral researcher at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. As for what the future holds? "I'm prepared to receive a few more rejection letters along the way," she joked heartily, "Maybe I'll make a longer skirt."
24. What can we learn about Caitlin Kirby's rejection letters?
A. She received 17 rejections in total.
B. 29 of her rejections were from journals.
C. The rejections were connected into a fan.
D. She made some rejection letters into a skirt.
25. What is Julie Libarkin's attitude towards Caitlin's action?
A. Favorable. B. Ambiguous.
C. Skeptical. D. Opposed.
26. Which of the following words can best describe Catlin?
A. Creative and considerate. B. Caring and determined.
C. Optimistic and humorous. D. Generous and intelligent.
27. Which of the following may Caitlin agree with?
A. Hard work pays off.
B. Education is the entrance to success.
C. Self-respect earns more respect.
D. One needs to normalize failures.
【答案】24. D 25. A 26. C 27. D
【解析】

C
Scientists have long sought to prevent sharp memories from dulling with age, but the problem remains unsettled. Now research published in Scientific Reports suggests virtual reality might help older people recall facts and events based on specific details.
The study involved 42 healthy older adults from the San Francisco Bay Area. Half spent a dozen hours over four weeks playing a virtual-reality game called Labyrinth; they wore headsets and walked in place, walking virtual neighborhoods while completing small tasks. The other half, in the control group, used electronic tablets to play games that did not require recalling details. After 15 sessions (期), the latter performed roughly the same as before on a long-term memory test. But the Labyrinth players gain an improvement in memory through the VR game. A scientist Peter Wais of the University of California said the improvements brought them up to the level of another group of younger adults taking the same memory tests.
Meredith Thompson, an education researcher, studies learning through VR games but was not involved in the new study. It would be great to actually follow people over time and see what this type of game does for long-term memory. She says, adding VR can provide greater involvement than other games. Wais's team is now investigating how long the observed effects last and which elements of the training have the most impact.
A cognitive (認知)psychologist, Daniel Simons, who was also not involved in the study, notes experiments with other games that claim to train the brain have often failed to evaluate this. And it remains unclear how test performance in a laboratory setting might translate to real-world situations. The outcome, Simons notes, “needs to be repeated, ideally with a much larger group, before it’s treated as a strong finding.”
For now, Wais says, the team hopes its studies with similar-sized groups will help draw funding to test the game in a larger pool of participants.
28. What is the passage mainly about?
A. People's memory gradually fails as they age.
B. People of different ages should play VR games.
C. Virtual reality changes people's memory.
D. Virtual reality improves older adults' memory.
29. What is Meredith Thompson's attitude toward the research?
A. satisfied. B. enthusiastic.
C. cautious. D. concerned.
30. According to the scientists, the research needs to be improved due to ________.
A. the lack of financial support. B. the limited pool of participants.
C. the unsatisfying test performance. D. the impractical application in real world.
31. Where may the passage come from?
A. A novel. B. A review.
C. A magazine. D. A guidebook.
【答案】28. D 29. C 30. B 31. C
【解析】
【分析】這是一篇說明文。文章主要講述的是虛擬現(xiàn)實可以改善老年人的記憶。并介紹了研究的開展過程以及相關專家對此的看法。
【28題詳解】
主旨大意題。根據(jù)第一段最后一句“Now research published in Scientific Reports suggests virtual reality might help older people recall facts and events based on specific details.(但是目前在科學報告上出版的研究報告表明虛擬現(xiàn)實可能幫助老年人根據(jù)具體細節(jié)回憶事實和事件)”以及接下來的描述可知,文章主要講述的是虛擬現(xiàn)實可以改善老年人的記憶。故選D。
【29題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段“Meredith Thompson, an education researcher, studies learning through VR games but was not involved in the new study. It would be great to actually follow people over time and see what this type of game does for long-term memory. She says, adding VR can provide greater involvement than other games.(Meredith Thompson,一位教育研究者,主要研究通過虛擬現(xiàn)實游戲?qū)W習,但沒有參與新的研究。她說,長時間跟蹤并看看這種游戲?qū)﹂L期記憶有什么作用是很棒的,并補充說,虛擬現(xiàn)實可以比其他游戲提供更多的參與)”可知,Meredith Thompson需要長時間跟蹤觀察。由此推知,她對這項研究的態(tài)度是謹慎的。故選C。
【30題詳解】
細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段“The outcome, Simons notes, “needs to be repeated, ideally with a much larger group, before it’s treated as a strong finding.”(Simons說,“這個結果在它被視為重大發(fā)現(xiàn)之前需要被重復測驗,最好是在一個更大的群體中?!?”以及最后一段“For now, Wais says, the team hopes its studies with similar-sized groups will help draw funding to test the game in a larger pool of participants.(Wais說,現(xiàn)在這個團隊希望與類似規(guī)模的團隊進行的研究將有助于籌集資金來在更多的參與者中測試游戲)”可知,科學家認為這個研究需要進一步改善是因為參與者的數(shù)量有限。故選B。
【31題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段“Now research published in Scientific Reports suggests virtual reality might help older people recall facts and events based on specific details.(但是目前在科學報告上出版的研究報告表明虛擬現(xiàn)實可能幫助老年人根據(jù)具體細節(jié)回憶事實和事件)”以及接下來的描述可知,這屬于科學研究,所以我們可以推測本文是發(fā)表在某雜志上。故選C。
D
The Gata used to look annoyed when they received power bills that routinely topped $200. Last September the couple moved into a 1,500-square-foot home in Premier Gardens, an area of 95 “zero-energy homes” (ZEH) just outside town. Now they're actually eager to see their electricity bills. The grand total over the 10 months they've lived in the three-bedroom house: $75. For the past two months, they haven’t paid a cent.
ZEH communities are the leading edge of technologies that might someday create houses that produce as much energy as they consume. Premier Gardens is one of a half-dozen subdivisions (住宅開發(fā)項目) in California where every home cuts power consumption by 50%, mostly by using low power appliances and solar panels.
Aside from the panels on the roof Premier Gardens looks like a community of traditional homes. But inside, special windows cut power bills by blocking solar heat in summer and keeping indoor warmth winter.
The rest of the energy savings comes from the solar units. They don't just feed the home they serve. If they generate more power than the home is using, the excess flows into the utility's power grid(電網(wǎng)). The residents are billed by “net metering”: they pay for the amount of power that they get from the grid, minus the kilowatts(千瓦) they feed into it. If a home generates more power than it uses, the bill is zero.
That sounds like a bad deal for the power company, but it's not. Solar homes produce the most power on the hot sunny afternoons when everyone rushes home to turn up the air conditioner. "It helps us lower usage at peak power times," says solar expert Mike Keesee. “That lets us avoid building costly plants or buying expensive power at peak usage time.”
What’s not to like? Mostly the costs. The special features can add $25,000 or more to the purchase price of a house. Tax breaks bring the cost down, especially in California, but in many states ZEHs can be extremely expensive. For the consumer, it's a matter of paying now for the hardware to save later on the power bill.
32. Why is the Gata eager to see their electricity bills now?
A. They want to cut down their utility' expenses.
B. They want to know if they are able to pay.
C. They want to see how much they have saved.
D. They want to avoid being overcharged.
33. What is special about the ZEH communities?
A. They are built in harmony with the environment.
B. They have created cutting edge technologies.
C. They are subdivided into half a dozen sections.
D. They aim to be independent in power supply.
34. What does the "net metering" practice mean to the power company?
A. More pressure at peak time B. Reduced operational costs.
C. Increased electricity output. D. Less profits in the short term.
35. The author believes that buying a house in a ZEH community __________.
A. is a worthy investment in the long run B. is but a dream for average consumers
C. gives the owner great tax benefits D. contributes to environmental protection
【答案】32. C 33. D 34. B 35. A
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇說明文。文章介紹了ZEH社區(qū)的特別之處和發(fā)展前景。
【32題詳解】
細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段“The Gata used to look annoyed when they received power bills that routinely topped $200.(過去,當Gata夫婦收到通常超過200美元的電費賬單時,他們看起來很惱火。)”以及后文“The grand total over the 10 months they've lived in the three-bedroom house: $75. For the past two months, they haven’t paid a cent.(他們在這所三居室房子里住了10個月,總共花了75美元。過去兩個月,他們一分錢都沒付。)”可知,Gata夫婦現(xiàn)在急于看到他們的電費賬單想知道他們節(jié)省了多少錢。故選C。
【33題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段“But inside, special windows cut power bills by blocking solar heat in summer and keeping indoor warmth winter.(但在室內(nèi),特殊的窗戶在夏天阻擋太陽熱量,在冬天保持室內(nèi)溫暖,從而節(jié)省了電費。)”可推斷,ZEH社區(qū)特別之處在于他們的目標是在電力供應方面獨立。故選D。
【34題詳解】
細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段“Tax breaks bring the cost down, especially in California, but in many states ZEHs can be extremely expensive.(稅收減免降低了成本,尤其是在加州,但在許多州ZEH可能非常昂貴。)”可知,“電網(wǎng)計量”可使電力公司降低運營成本。故選B。
【35題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段“For the consumer, it's a matter of paying now for the hardware to save later on the power bill.(對于消費者來說,現(xiàn)在花錢買硬件就可以省下以后的電費。)”可推斷,作者認為,從長遠來看,在ZEH社區(qū)買房是一項值得的投資。故選A。
第二節(jié) (共5小題;每小題2.5分,滿分12.5分)
閱讀下面短文,從短文后的選項中選出可以填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。
You run into the grocery store to pick up one bottle of water. You get what you need, head to the front, and choose the line that looks fastest.
You chose wrong. People who you swear got in other lines long after you are already checked out and off to the parking lot. ___36___
It turns out, it's just math working against you; chances are, the other line really is faster.
Grocery stores try to have enough employees at checkout to get all their customers through with minimum delay. ___37___Any small interruption - a price check, a chatty customer-can have downstream effects, holding up an entire line.
If there are three lines in the store, delays will happen randomly at different registers. Think about the probability:____38____So it's not just in your mind: Another line probably is moving faster.
Researchers have a good way to deal with this problem. Make all customers stand in one long, snaking line- called a serpentine line - and serve each person at the front with the next available register. ___39___This is what they do at most banks and fast-food restaurants. With a serpentine line, a long delay at one register won't unfairly punish the people who lined up behind it. Instead, it will slow down everyone a little bit but speed up checkout overall.
____40____It takes many registers to keep one line moving quickly, and some stores can't afford the space or manpower. So wherever your next wait may be: Good luck.
A. Why does this always seem to happen to you?
B. So why don't most places encourage serpentine lines?
C. Some of the may have stood in a queue for almost an hour.
D. The chances of your line being the fastest are only one in three.
E. How high is the probability that you are in the fastest waiting line?
F. With three registers, this method is much faster than the traditional approach.
G. But sometimes, as on a Sunday afternoon, the system gets particularly busy.

【解析】
【分析】本文是說明文。文章說明了雜貨店排隊方式以及研究人員提出的蛇形隊伍的新方式,并分析了各自的利弊。
【36題詳解】
下文“It turns out, it's just math working against you; chances are, the other line really is faster. (原來,這只是你的數(shù)學問題;很可能,另一個隊伍真的更快。)”解釋了上文“You chose wrong.(你選錯了)”的原因,下文與空格處是因果關系,所以本空應該是對前文選錯提出疑惑,故選A項。
【37題詳解】
上文“Grocery stores try to have enough employees at checkout to get all their customers through with minimum delay.(雜貨店盡量讓足夠的員工在結賬時讓所有的顧客以最小的延誤完成結賬。)”解釋了雜貨店之前的工作模式,下文“Any small interruption a price check, a chatty customer -can have downstream effects, holding up an entire line.(任何一個小小的中斷,一個價格檢查,一個喋喋不休的顧客,都會產(chǎn)生下游效應,拖住整個生產(chǎn)線。)”描述了雜貨店的特殊情況,故本空應該填出現(xiàn)特殊情況的原因,故選G項。
【38題詳解】
根據(jù)上文“If there are three lines in the store, delays will happen randomly at different registers. (如果雜貨店中有三列隊伍,延遲將在不同的隊伍中隨機發(fā)生。)”聯(lián)系下文“So it's not just in your mind: Another line probably is moving faster.(所以這不僅僅是在你的腦海里:另一條隊伍可能移動得更快。)”可知本空說的是任何一個隊伍都有可能出現(xiàn)問題。你的隊伍跑得最快的幾率只有三分之一。故選D項。
【39題詳解】
根據(jù)“上文Researchers have a good way to deal with this problem.(我們得知研究人員有一個很好的方法來處理這個問題)”以及下文“This is what they do at most banks and fast-food restaurants. With a serpentine line, a long delay at one register won't unfairly punish the people who lined up behind it. Instead, it will slow down everyone little bit but speed up checkout overall.(這個大多數(shù)銀行和快餐店都是這樣做的。有了一條蜿蜒的隊伍,在一個登記處長時間拖延不會不公平地懲罰后面排隊的人。相反,它會減慢每個人一點點,但加快了整體結帳速度。)”說明這個新方案迅速有效,聯(lián)系上下文可知,空格中應該是與舊的結賬方案作比較。故選F項。
【40題詳解】
結合下文“It takes many registers to keep one line moving quickly, and some stores can't afford the space or manpower.(要保持一條生產(chǎn)線的快速運轉,需要很多的收銀機,而且有些商店負擔不起空間和人力。)”說明了一個原因,由此可知,空格處提出了一個問題;通過“It takes many registers to keep one line moving quickly.(保持一條生產(chǎn)線的快速運轉)”可知這里描述的是不鼓勵蛇形隊伍的原因。故選B項。

There was something in the elderly woman’s grace that caught my eye. Although slow and unsure of her steps, the woman moved with deliberation (從容), and there was no hesitation in her gestures.
It was a few years ago, and I had taken a part - time holiday - season job in a video. store at the local shopping mall. From inside the store, I could see the people outside rushing by.
The elderly woman entered the store, along with her daughter, who was displaying a serious case of impatience, rolling her eyes, sighing and checking her watch every few seconds. I guessed if she had possessed a rope, she would have fastened it to her mother to drag her along to keep step with the rush of other shoppers.
The elderly woman separated from her daughter and began to seek through the DVDs on the nearest shelf. After the slightest hesitation, I walked over and asked if I could help her find something. The woman smiled up at me and showed me a title written on an old piece of paper.
Rather than rush off to locate the DVD for the woman, I asked her to walk with me so I could show her where she could find it. Looking back, I thought I wanted to enjoy her company for a moment.
Something about her deliberate movements reminded me of my own mother, who’d passed away the previous Christmas. I missed my mom and still felt regretful about the moments when I’d used my impatience to make her life unhappy.
As we walked along the back of the store, I introduced its floor plan: old television shows, action movies, cartoons, science fiction. The woman seemed glad of the unrushed company and casual conversation.
We found the DVD and she thanked me, saying that it was the one she’d enjoyed when she was her daughter’s age. Unwillingly, I accompanied her to the cash register, realizing I had to return the elderly woman to her daughter, who was still tapping her foot at the front of the store.
Paragraph 1: As the elderly woman was waiting in the queue at the cash register, I walked over to her daughter.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2: Together they made their way toward the store’s exit.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】As the elderly woman was waiting in the queue at the cash register, I walked over to her daughter. “Mind some advice?” I asked. She rolled her eyes and said, “of course not.” I smiled to show her I wasn’t criticizing. Cherish her and cherish every single moment you can stay with her,” I said. And then I answered her curious expression by saying, “When she's gone, it's these little moments that will come back to you. Moments like this. I know.” Having finished saying this, I noticed the elderly woman moving with her deliberation back to her daughter.
Together they made their way toward the store's exit. Then the daughter glanced over her elderly mother. And slowly, almost unwillingly, she placed her arm with apparently unaccustomed affection around her mothers’ shoulders and gently guided her back into the crowd. Tears filled my eyes when I watched them disappearing in the crowd.

【分析】這是一篇讀后續(xù)寫。文章講述了作者在做兼職工作時,看到了一對母女一起走進了商店。女兒非常不耐煩,而母親只是從容地選著DVD??吹竭@里,作者想到了自己的母親,于是在收銀臺排隊時給那個女兒一些忠告。
【詳解】續(xù)寫部分分為兩段,第一段開頭是:當那位老婦人在收銀臺排隊時,我走向她的女兒。可知后文應當描寫作者和女兒的對話,作者勸告女兒珍惜現(xiàn)在和母親相處的時刻;第二段開頭是:他們一起朝商店的出口走去。后文應當描寫聽了作者建議的女兒和母親在一起的表現(xiàn),她把她的胳膊放在她母親的肩膀上,帶著明顯不習慣的感情,輕輕地把她帶回到人群中。作者看著這對母女消失在人群中,熱淚盈眶。
【點睛】本文描寫詳略得當,使用了高級詞匯和高級句子。如:in the queue; criticize, deliberation等高級詞匯;時間狀語從句As the elderly woman was waiting in the queue at the cash register, I walked over to her daughter.;非謂語動詞的運用Having finished saying this, I noticed the elderly woman moving with her deliberation back to her daughter.等高級句式。
