【題目】 The use of color has a long history in human life. We live our lives in color from our earliest days. 1 We use it both as a symbol of identity and a way of expressing our individuality (個(gè)性) through decoration. And we use different colors to send out very different messages.

2 Look at the schoolboy in the photo. From his colorful traditional dress, other people in Peru know he comes from the Quechua community. We wear uniforms at school and work, and we dress in our favorite sports team colors to say the same thing: 3

And now look at the Huli villager in the photo, who is getting ready for a local festival. He’s applying the traditional colors of red, black and white to his own personal face pattern. Face-painting is an important part of the celebrations. These days people are starting to experiment with brightly colored paints as well as traditional colors. In fashion-conscious Europe, the “in” color changes every season. 4

Marketing experts understand the power of color very well. Packaging and labels in eye-catching colors stand out on the supermarket shelf. 5 A calm blue for a bank stands for trust, dark green says quality, or brown and green means eco-friendliness.

A. We are family.

B. We love this game.

C. People need a sense of group identity.

D. Color plays an important role in our daily life.

E. Different people have different understanding of colors.

【解析】

這是一篇說明文。文章說明了顏色在我們的生活中起著非常重要的作用:我們用它來作為身份的標(biāo)志、用它來裝飾,還通過它來傳達(dá)不同的信息。

1空格位于段中。由空格后句子的句意“我們用它來作為身份的標(biāo)志、用它來裝飾。我們還用不同的顏色來傳達(dá)不同的信息”可知,上一句話應(yīng)該是強(qiáng)調(diào)顏色在我們生活中的重要作用。選項(xiàng)D中的“plays an important role in our daily life(在日常生活中扮演著重要的角色)”與下文中重復(fù)出現(xiàn)的use形成呼應(yīng)關(guān)系。故選D

2空格位于段首。由段中內(nèi)容:“從照片中這名學(xué)生穿的彩色的傳統(tǒng)服飾,人們可以知道他是克丘亞家族的成員。我們在學(xué)校穿校服,在工作場合穿工衣,都是為了讓別人知道我們是屬于一個(gè)集體的”可知,這段話主要講述從顏色可以看出一個(gè)人的身份。選項(xiàng)C中的“a sense of group identity(群體認(rèn)同感)”與本段內(nèi)容中提到的各種身份呼應(yīng),故選C

3空格位于段尾。這段話主要講述顏色在群體認(rèn)同感中的作用,所以我們可以推知,我們在學(xué)校穿校服,在工作場合穿工衣,在運(yùn)動時(shí)穿我們最喜歡的隊(duì)服就是為了讓別人知道我們是一個(gè)群體,是一家人。選項(xiàng)A中的family與此段中心相符合,故選A

4空格位于段尾。空格前一句句意為:在時(shí)尚意識很強(qiáng)的歐洲,人們穿得顏色每個(gè)季節(jié)也在變。選項(xiàng)G(例如,這個(gè)秋天人們喜歡穿紫色的衣服)恰巧是上句句意的一個(gè)舉例。其中的are wearing與上句中的“in” color 呼應(yīng)。故選G

5空格位于段中。空格后句子句意為:銀行使用平靜的藍(lán)色代表信任,深綠色代表質(zhì)量,棕色或者綠色代表對環(huán)境友好。由此可知,這里談?wù)摰氖且恍┕驹谑褂妙伾珪r(shí)的考慮。選項(xiàng)F中的companies與其后的bank呼應(yīng),其中的color與后邊句子中各種顏色的舉例呼應(yīng)。故選F

七選五題目主要考查學(xué)生綜合的英語邏輯思維能力。一篇好的短文,不僅在內(nèi)容上要前后一致,而且還要語篇結(jié)構(gòu)清晰,上下文邏輯意義嚴(yán)謹(jǐn)。內(nèi)容的前后一致體現(xiàn)在段內(nèi)及語篇內(nèi)話題的自然過渡。語篇結(jié)構(gòu)主要體現(xiàn)為:文章是總分結(jié)構(gòu),還是按時(shí)間或空間順序發(fā)展的,還是辯證三段論的編排的。邏輯意義的嚴(yán)謹(jǐn)最主要的可以通過代詞、連詞和副詞等形式來體現(xiàn)。例如本文通過看首段及后續(xù)段落首句可知:是總分的形式。其后每個(gè)段落的內(nèi)容都與第一段中舉例的顏色的三個(gè)用途相呼應(yīng)。同學(xué)們要是看出這個(gè)結(jié)構(gòu),第二題與第三題就很容易選擇出答案。這兩題都是利用段落內(nèi)容與主旨緊密呼應(yīng)的原則解出的。第一題,第四題,第五題都是利用上下句之間的關(guān)鍵詞呼應(yīng)來解題。這三題上下句之間都是總分的關(guān)系,所以上下句之間必然會有同義詞替換之類的呼應(yīng)。同學(xué)們在解題時(shí)要多積累這樣的技巧,可以加快七選五的解題速度與準(zhǔn)確度。

【題目】 When stress affects your sleep on a nightly basis, it sets you up for a terrible insomnia (失眠) that forces you to turn to sleeping pills.1

Target (把作為目標(biāo))the enemy

“Every night a couple of hours before bed, sit down and make a list of all the problems you have to deal with,” says Donna Arand, director of Kettering Hospital Sleep Disorders Center. “Next to each item, write a solution or plan.” 2 That way, if thoughts of your problems arise as you’re trying to sleep, you can tell yourself, “I’ve got a plan and I’ll work on it tomorrow. “

Balance your work and activities

3 But a joint study of 314 workers found that workers with higher levels of enjoyable activities such as exercise, hobbies, and social activities, were able not only to come back from workplace stress better than their always-on-the-job coworkers but also sleep much better than others.

Deal with less

Four of the top ten stressors we experience are related to money.4 And how should we spend it? Given that, doesn’t it make sense that if we want less and are satisfied with less--smaller houses, and simpler forms of transportation--our stress levels will go down?

Give a nod to a nap (打盹)

It’s doubly unfortunate that stress makes it hard to get to sleep because, chemically speaking, the antidote (對抗手段)to stress is sleep. There is a way to deal with it.5 It’s true that one nap of up to 90 minutes between the hours of 1:00 and 4:00 P.M. during the day, will make people energetic again.

A.That’s by taking a nap.

B.Here’s how to step back from that state.

C.Now there is some advice on how to keep energetic.

D.When you ‘re ready for bed, put the list by the bedroom door.

E.It was reported recently that on-the-job stress has reached the worst levels.

F.How can we get it ?

G.Does stress always interrupt you?

【題目】 Harry is a vehicle called a pod—in other words, something like a car. But Harry has no steering wheel or brake pedal. Harry does not even have a driver. Yet Harry is carrying passengers around London for the next few weeks.

Harry is part of an experiment called GATEway that is testing how people react to driverless vehicles. The name GATEway is short for Greenwich Automated Transport Environment. The experiment aims to help cities prepare for the future of transportation. The GATEway experiment does not test new technology. Instead, it tests the way existing technology can work in society.

The pod operates in an area of London called Greenwich, home of time and navigation museums. Other places where pods will be tested are Coventry, Milton, Keynes and Bristol. The pods run using sensors and a 3D map of the area. A safety operator rides along to take control in case of an emergency.

GATEway is intended to see how pedestrians and cyclists may adapt to driverless vehicles. Harry holds up to four people (three passengers and a safety operator) and can travel at speeds up to 16km/h. It is being tested in Greenwich on pedestrian paths, but not on roads with other vehicles.

If you are in Greenwich during the next few weeks you may see Harry, but you cannot ride in it during the trial. Over 5,000 people applied to be a passenger in Harry but only about 100 were chosen.

You can, however, ride in a similar pod at Heathrow Airport in London. The Heathrow pods run on tracks so they are not being tested with pedestrians, cyclists or other drivers. If the trials are successful, the first pods could be operational on the roads of the UK in 2020.

1What’s the purpose of the GATEway?

A.To settle traffic problems in cities.

B.To test a new transportation technology.

C.To prepare cities for future transportation.

D.To draw people’s interest in transportation.

2What will happen if Harry meets with dangerous situation?

A.The passengers will help.

B.It will deal with it by itself.

C.An accident will take place.

D.A human driver will take it over.

3Why is Harry running on the sidewalk?

A.To test the response of people walking or on a bike.

B.To avoid disturbing other vehicles on the street.

C.To prevent it from running at a high speed.

D.To watch pedestrians and cyclists go safely.

4What’s people’s attitude towards Harry?

A.Fearful.B.Positive.

C.Doubtful.D.Grateful.

【題目】 I always loved looking at this hidden lane as I drove my children to school. Lying between a pizza restaurant and a house, the lane is easily overlooked. If you don’t take the time to glance to the left at the stop sign, you’ll miss it.

The tree-lined lane is pretty in every season. I have its images hanging in our home and at my workplace. Many people have asked me about them. When I told them where I took the pictures, they were always surprised. They probably never slowed down enough from their busy lives to notice the great beauty so close to home.

I supposed there might be a big old house at the end of the lane, but when my husband, Ron, and I went up there one day to give the owners copies of my pictures, we were both pretty surprised.

The house looks like it came right out of colonial Williamsburg, Virginia, and the grounds are breathtaking. You would never know that just a quarter-mile down the lane is a busy road.

I adore the natural beauty of the countryside throughout the year, from the heavy snows of winter to the bright new greens of spring, and I hope to always live where the seasons change. The place we live is a wonderful place to raise children, and the country is just a short drive away.

Empty nesters, Ron and I take many drives together, especially in the fall. We always head for the country. As I get older, I value the peace and beauty of the countryside even more. If you take the time to look around, you will always discover something wonderful, no matter where you are. What an amazing country we live in!

1Why did most people feel surprised at the author’s pictures?

A.They didn’t know the lane at all.

B.They ignored the beauty of the lane.

2What’s the purpose of the author and her husband visiting the old house?

A.To explore the lane.

B.To take good pictures.

C.To find a busy road nearby.

D.To offer photos to its owners.

3How does the author feel about her living surroundings?

A.Indifferent.B.Lonely.

C.Satisfied.D.Silent.

4What can we learn about the author’s present situation?

A.She is raising her children happily.

【題目】 It is a fact that people die every moment of every day. However, the deaths of those who have done great work in the public realm (領(lǐng)域) can be especially shocking and heartbreaking---even to those of us who don't know them personally.

On Jan 26, Kobe Bryant(科比·布萊恩特), one of the most legendary NBA players in history, died in a terrible accident. He was 41 years old when a helicopter he was riding in crashed, killing him and eight others, including his 13-year-old daughter Gianna Bryant.

Following Bryant's death, people from all walks of life have paid tribute (敬意) to the late basketball superstar --- not just for his achievements on the court (球場), but also for his personality and the inspiration he has given to us.

In the basketball world, Bryant ranks (排名) among the top players of all time. He entered the NBA directly from high school as a basketball prodigy (神童). He played his whole 20-year career with the Los Angeles Lakers and helped the team win five NBA championships. He was fast, skillful and aggressive, which earned him the nickname Black Mamba, one of the most deadly snakes in the world. That's why his competitive philosophy is known as the "Mamba Mentality".

"Mamba mentality is you're going, you're competing, you're not worried about the end result," Bryant said. "It's all about focusing on the process and trusting in the hard work when it matters most."

Off the court, Bryant was known as a successful businessman, an Oscar-winning filmmaker, and a proud father of four daughters.

【題目】Do arithmetic problems 15 through 25. State the different forms of the verbs on page 50 of your French workbook. Read pages 12 through 20 of the Shakespeare play, and don’t forget to fill in the missing chemical symbols on the worksheet.

Sound like a list of your homework for the next few nights—or maybe even just for tonight? 1 It’s your teachers’ way of evaluating how much you understand what’s going on in class. And it helps strengthen important concepts.

2 It’s inviting to start with the easy things to get them out of the way. However, you’ll have the most energy and focus when you begin, so it’s best to use this mental power on the subjects that are most challenging. Later, when you’re more tired, you can focus on the simpler things. If you get stuck on a problem, try to figure it out as well as you can—but don’t spend too much time on it because this can mess up your homework schedule for the rest of the night. 3 But don’t pick someone whom you’ll be up all night chatting with, or you’ll never get it done!

Most people’s attention spans(一段時(shí)間) aren’t very long, so take some breaks while doing your homework. Sitting for too long without relaxing will make you less productive than if you stop every so often. Taking a 15-minute break every hour is a good idea for most people. 4

Once your homework is done, you can check over it if you have extra time. Be sure to put it safely away in your backpack—there’s nothing worse than having a completed assignment that you can’t find the next morning or that gets ruined by a careless brother or sister. 5 Now you’re free to hang out.

A. In conclusion, no one is expected to stay long, and people have very different learning styles.

B. But if you’re really concentrating, wait until it’s a good time to stop.

C. If you need to, ask an adult for help or call or email a classmate for advice.

D. Luckily, you can do a few things to do less homework.

E. When you start your homework, deal with the hardest tasks first.

F. And no teacher still believes that “chewed by the dog” line—even when it’s true!

G. Homework is a major part of going to school.
