第5题：
D
When students and parents are asked to rate subjects according to their importance, the arts are unavoidably at the bottom of the list. Music is nice, people seem to say, but not important. Too often it is viewed as mere entertainment, but certainly not an education priority(优先). This view is shortsighted. In fact, music education is beneficial and important for all students.
Music tells us who we are. Because music is an expression of the beings who create it, it reflects their thinking and values, as well ad the social environment it came influence that George Gershwin and other musicians introduced into their music is obviously American because it came from American musical traditions. Music expresses our character and values. It gives us identity as a society.
Music provides a kind of perception(感知)that cannot be acquired any other way. Science can explain how the sun rises and sets. The arts explore the emotive(情感的)meaning of the same phenomenon. We need every possible way to discover and respond to our world for one simple but powerful reason: No one way can get it all.
The arts are forms of thought as powerful in what they communicate as mathematical and scientific symbols. They are ways we human beings “talk” to each other. They are the language of civilization through which we express our fears, our curiosities, our hungers, our discoveries, our hopes. The arts are ways we give form. to our ideas and imagination so that they can be shared with others. When we do not give children access to an important way of expressing themselves such as music, we take away from them the meanings that music expresses.
Science and technology do not tell us what it means to be human. The arts do. Music is an important way we express human suffering, celebration, the meaning and value of peace and love.
So music education is far more necessary than people seem to realize.
A.regardmusicasawayofentertainment
B.disagreewiththeirparentsoneducation
C.viewmusicasanoverlookedsubject
D.prefertheartstoscience

第7题：
In our contemporary culture,the prospect of communicating with--or even looking at--a stranger is virtually unbearable.Everyone around us seems to agree by the way they fiddle with their phones,even without a 1 underground.It's a sad reality--our desire to avoid interacting with other human beings--because there's 2 to be gained from talking to the stranger standing by you.But you wouldn't know it,3 into your phone.This universal armor sends the 4:"Please don't approach me."What is it that makes us feel we need to hide 5 our screens?One answer is fear,according to Jon Wortmann,executive mental coach.We fear rejection,or that our innocent social advances will be 6 as"creepy,".We fear we'll be 7.We fear we'll be disruptive.Strangers are inherently 8 to us,so we are more likely to feel 9 when communicating with them compared with our friends and acquaintances.To avoid this anxiety,we 10 to our phones."Phones become our security blanket,"Wortmann says."They are our happy glasses that protect us from what we perceive is going to be more 11.”But once we rip off the bandaid,tuck our smartphones in our pockets and look up,it doesn't 12 so bad.In one 2011 experiment,behavioral scientists Nicholas Epley and Juliana Schroeder asked commuters to do the unthinkable:Start a 13.They had Chicago train commuters talk to their fellow 14."When Dr.Epley and Ms.Schroeder asked other people in the same train station to 15 how they would feel after talking to a stranger,the commuters thought their 16 would be more pleasant if they sat on their own,"the New York Times summarizes.Though the participants didn't expect a positive experience,after they 17 with the experiment,"not a single person reported having been snubbed."18,these commutes were reportedly more enjoyable compared with those sans communication,which makes absolute sense,19 human beings thrive off of social connections.It's that 20:Talking to strangers can make you feel connected.8选？A.unreasonable
B.ungrateful
C.unconventional
D.unfamiliar答案：D解析：词义辨析【直击答案】空格处需填入一个形容词修饰strangers（陌生人），所以该词应符合陌生人的身份与特点，既是陌生人，肯定是“不熟悉的”，故答案为D项unfamiliar。【命题思路】本题考查形容词的词义辨析。解题时需要通过其所修饰的名词来确定答案。【干扰排除】A项和C项通常修饰物，而本题中要修饰的是strangers。B项虽然可以修饰人，但是如果代入本句，不符合句意。 -

Weight on and off the Earth We are so used to.our life on the surface of the earth that it can be quite an effort for our mind to break free of all the ideas that we take for granted.Because we can feel that things are heavy,we think of "weight"as being a fixed quality in an object,but it is not really fixed at all.If you could take a one-pound packet of butter 4,000 miles out from the earth,it would weigh only a quarter of a pound. Why would things weigh only a quarter as much as they do at the surface of the earth if we took them 4,000 miles out into space?The reason is this:all objects have a natural attraction for all other objects;this is called gravitational attraction.But this power of attraction between two obects gets weaker as they get farther apart.When the butter was at the surface of the earth,it was 4,000 miles from the center.When we took the butter 4,000 miles out,it was 8,000 miles from the center,which is twice the distance.If you double the distance between two objects,their gravitational attraction decreases two times two.If you treble the distance, it gets nine times weaker(three times three)and so on. So this is one of the first things we need to remember that the weight of an object in space is not the same as its weight on the surface of the earth. What about the weight of our pound of butter on the surface of the moon?At the distance the puii of the earth is about 4,000 times smaller than it is here on the surface,so we can forget all about the earth-pull on our butter. On the other hand,on the moon there will be an attraction between the butter and the moon,but the butter will weigh only about one-sixth as much as it does on the earth.This is because the moon is so much smaller than the earth.The amount of gravitational pull that a body produces depends on the amount of material in it.A packet of butter has a gravitational pull of its own;but this is very small in relation to the pull of something as large as the moon,or the earth,or the sun.We find it hard to break free from ideas connected with living on the earth because______.
A:it demands too great an effort for us to do so
B:we are too familiar with the way things are to question the ideas
C:we have proved that those ideas are correct
D:we are so sure of ourselves that we never doubt anything on the earth答案：B解析：第一段最后一句表明，1磅重的黄油在离地球表面4000英里处重达0.25磅，第二段第一句也表明在4000英里高空处的物体重量仅为其在地球表面的重量的1/4。由此可推算出，4磅重的茶叶在离地球表面4000英里处重达1磅。
第一段第一句表明，我们之所以不能打破固有思维，是因为我们已经习惯了地球上的生活，也就是说，我们正是因为太过熟悉地球上的事物，才没有去质疑这些固有思维。
第一段第二句表明，物体的重量并非固定不变。第二段解释说，物体的重量源于物体间的引力。也就是说，物体的重量随着物体间引力的改变而改变。
最后一段第三句说明一个物体产生的引力与物体本身的重量有关。最后一段第四句又表明由于本身重量较小，一包黄油产生的引力很有限，相对于月球、地球、太阳等产生的强劲引力来说，比较容易被我们忽略。
本篇文章通篇讲的是重量是由引力产生的，并进一步阐述了物体间引力的变化、物体本身的重量，以及物体间的距离这三者之间的关系，主要讲的还是引力对重量的作用。 -

第12题：
单选题According to the passage, we should learn to swim because it could ______.Asave our lives
Bkeep us fit and healthy
Cmake us work well with others
正确答案： B解析：
【语篇解读】本文主要列举了一些十八岁之前可以做的事，包括学游泳、收藏物品、尝试至少一种团队运动、画家谱。
由题干中“learn to swim”可以定位至原文第一个粗体小标题处，原文中说“this is so important that it could save your life（这很重要，因为它可以挽救你的生命）”，故A选项为正确答案。 -
第13题：
Most of us，when we reached our teens，started looking forward to the day when we would occupy places of our own，far from the confines of our families. We saw this moving away as a chance to strike out on our own，to grow，to spread out wings and experience freedom. At the same time，we regarded this independence as temporary-the thing to do until we found the perfect mate and married. Over the years，many millions of people have made this passage from one family to another，with just a brief，often nervous interval of independence in between. But recently，more and more people have begun to challenge the concept that living together is better than living alone. Being single is now accepted as an alternative lifestyle-one that is natural，rewarding，and complete. In fact，being single has become almost fashionable.
正确答案：
我们大多数人到了十几岁的时候，就开始向往有一天能有自己的独立空间，从而远离家庭的束缚。我们把离开家看做是独立生活、长大成人、展翅飞翔和体验自由的机会。但与此同时，我们认为这种独立只不过是在我们找到满意的伴侣并结婚之前的暂时的事情。这些年中，几百万人们都是这样从一个家庭到另一个家庭过来的，中间经历了一个短暂、并且常常是不知所措的独立阶段。但是最近，这种与人住在一起比独居更好的观念正开始受到越来越多的人们的挑战。独身现在被人们看做是生活方式的另一种选择-这种生活方式是合乎自然的，有意义的，而且是没有什么缺陷的。实际上，独身已经变得近乎流行起来了。 -

Improve Your Memory
To many people advancing age means losing your hair,your waistline and your memory.But is it an inescapable fact that the older you get,the less you remember? Well,as time goes by,we tend to blame age for problems that are not necessarily age-related.
When a teenager can't find her keys,she thinks it's because she's distracted or disorganized, but a 70-year-old blames her memory. In fact,the 70-year-old may have been misplacing things for decades一like we all do from time to time.
In healthy people,memory doesn't deteriorate as quickly as many of us think. According to psychologists,as we age,our memory mechanism isn't broken,it's just different.The brain's processing time slows down over the years,though no one knows exactly why.Recent research suggests that nerve cells lose efficiency and that there's less activity in the part of the brain that decides whether to store information or not.But it's not clear that less activity is worse.A beginning athlete is winded. more easily than a trained athlete.In the same way,as the brain gets more skilled at a task,it spends less energy on it.
There are steps you can take to improve your memory,though you have to work to keep your brain in shape.It's like having a good body. You can't go to the gym once a year and expect to stay in top form.
Some memory enhancement experts suggest using the AM principle.Pay attention to what you want to remember. Then give some meaning to it. We remember things when we focus on them, whether we intend to or not. That helps explain why jingles stick in our minds.They are played on loud,flashy TV commercials.They also use rhyme and music to help us remember better.
Basic organization helps us remember the boring stuff. For example,rather than trying to recall a random list of groceries,we can divide them into categories,such as dairy,meat and produce. For important things like keys and money,we can set up a"forget-me-not"spot where we always keep them.
We can also eat to aid our memory power. Whole grains,fruits and vegetables are excellent sources of glucose,the brain's preferred fuel. Another low-tech way to improve memory is to get adequate rest. Sleep may allow our brain time to encode memories.
Interest in friends,family and hobbies does wonders for our memory.A sense of passion or purpose helps us remember. Memory requires us to pay attention to our lives,allowing us to discover in them everything worth remembering.As we get older, our memory mechanism is broken,and so cannot be the same as it was before.
A:Right
B:Wrong
C:Not mentioned答案：B解析：本题给出的信息是正确的。依据是第一段第三句中提到“Well, as time goes by, we tend to blame age for problems that are not necessarily age-related.”其实，随着时间的流逝，我们会将一些不一定与年龄相关的问题归咎于年龄。题干中描述的“你年纪越大，记得就越少，这不总是正确的”与原文意思相符，所以选A。
本题给出的信息是错误的。依据的信息句和上题信息句相同。题干所描述的“我们可以推理出记忆力的问题不是真的和年龄相关”，与原文不相符，因为“not necessarily”指“不一定”，而不是指“not really"（不是真的）。
本题给出的信息是错误的。依据是第三段第二句："According to psychologists, as we age, our memory mechanism isn't broken, it's just different.”据心理学家说，当我们变老时，我们的记忆机能不会失效，只是变得和以前不一样了。题干中所陈述的“当我们变老，我们的记忆机能失效，所以它就和以前不一样了”，这个说法与原文恰恰相反，所以选B。
文章没有谈到这方面的信息。
本题给出的信息是正确的。依据是第四段："There are steps you can take to improve your memory,though you have to work to keep your brain in shape .It's like having a good body.You can't go to the gym once a year and expect to stay in top form.”虽然你工作以使你的大脑保持良好状态，但也有一些步骤可以用来提高记忆力。就像拥有一个好身体一样，你不能每年只去一次健身房还期望自己处于巅峰状态。题干陈述“你必须工作以使你的大脑保持灵活，就如同你努力运动使你保持体形一样”，这与原文意思相符，所以选A。
本题给出的信息是错误的。依据是第五段第二、三句："Pay attention to what you want to remember.Then give some meaning to it.”关注你想要记忆的东西，并且给它以某种意义。依此推出AM代表的意思应为“attention and meaning"。而题干中说的是“注意力和记忆”与原文不符，所以选B。
本题给出的信息是正确的。依据是倒数第二段的第一句和第三句："We can also eat to aid our memory power.”我们还可以通过饮食来帮助我们提高记忆力。"Another low-tech way to improve memory is to get adequate rest.”另外一种低科技的提高记忆力的方法就是要有足够的休息。题干中陈述“对食物正确的选择和大量的休息对记忆有益”，这与原文意思相符，所以选A。 -
第19题：
Compared with other areas of our social lives,we tend to boast far more on social media.For instance,few of us will stand on a neighborhood corner and declare how accomplished we are or how much we love our spouse.On Facebook,however,we have no uneasiness about routinely posting photographs of intimate family gatherings,foreign vacations,and fancy meals.What's more,many of us share boasts with hundreds or even thousands of social media connections,with little knowledge or concern about who's seeing them or what effect it has on them.Despite the risk of negative effects,we can't help boasting on social media because,as psychologists have argued,boasting satisfies fundamental human motives of creating a favorable first impression with strangers,and building a positive image among those who know us.In our vast social media spheres,boasting is also a good way,or even possibly the only way,to attract attention.答案：解析：和我们社交生活的其他领域相比．我们在社交媒体上自夸的频率往往要高得多。比方说，我们很少人会站在街角，宣称自己如何有成就、多么爱自己的配偶。但是，我们例行公事般地在脸书上发布亲密家庭成员聚会、出国度假及豪华大餐的照片而丝毫不觉不安。不仅如此，我们很多人与数以百计甚至千计的社交媒体联系人分享自己引以为豪的事物，对谁在看它们、它们产生了什么影响既不怎么了解，也不怎么关心。尽管存在带来负面效果的风险，我们还是禁不住在社交媒体上自吹自擂，因为正如心理学家所言，自夸满足了人类的基本动机：给陌生人留下美好的第一印象，在熟人中树立正面形象。在我们庞大的社交媒体圈子中，自夸也是引起关注的一个好方法，甚至可能是唯一的方法。 -
第20题：

B.awake
C.waken
D.awaken答案：B解析：本题考查同根词辨析。题目意为“你可以想象睡眠是一种安静和平静的体验，但在现实中，我们的大脑在睡眠的某些阶段比我们清醒时更活跃。”A选项为动词“苏醒，复活”，B选项为形容词“醒着的”，C选项动词“醒来，睡醒”， D选项动词“唤醒，激起”。题干中有are，因此横线处需要一个形容词。

Our eating habits are very important for good health and a strong body.There are times when?most of us would rather eat sweets and ice-cream than meat and rice.Sweets and ice-cream are not?bad if we eat them at the end of a meal.If we eat them before a meal,they may take away our appe-tite（食欲）~It is important for us to eat our meals at the same time each day.When we feel hungry,it is a sign that our body needs food.When we feel angry or excited,we may not want to eat.A long time ago,in England,some judges used to decide whether a man was telling the truth by giving him some dry bread.If the man could not eat the bread,it showed that he was telling lies.Although this seems very strange and rather foolish,it is indeed a very good way of finding out the fact.A man who is worrying about something has difficulty in eating anything dry.Because he is worrying,he loses his appetite and does not want to eat.
We must have good eating habits because__________.A.we want to eat more
B.we want to enjoy our meals
C.we want to be healthy and strong
D.we want to grow up quickly答案：C解析：由第一句可知好的饮食习惯对于健康和身体强壮来说很重要。旬中的for表示“对……来说”。 -
