OIC 第二节 阅读理解（共7小题；每小题2分，满分14分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的各题的4个选项中，选择最佳选项。‎ ‎(1)‎ You want to know about my staying in America, right? Well, to tell you the truth, it is really an eye-opening experience to study here.‎ In China, I had English classes five times a week since fifth grade. However, I didn’t know how different textbook English could be from everyday English until I came to Hotchkiss School‎, ‎Connecticut.‎ When I first studied English, I was told to say,”I am fine” when people say “How are you?” But in the US, I found that people say, “I am good” or “I’m tired”.‎ One day, someone greeted me with “What’s up?” It made me confused . I thought for a moment and then smiled because I didn’t know what to say.‎ Since then, I have discovered more and more differences between Chinese and US cultures.‎ To my surprise, US girls spend a lot of time in the burning sun to get a tan (晒黑). However, in China, girls try every possible way to get their skin paler, or “whiter”.‎ I was also surprised by how hardworking US students are.‎ ‎ In China, schoolwork is almost everything, so we study hard and that’s it. But here, a “good” student gets good grades, does a lot of for the public and plays sports or music.‎ The kids here are so talented, I am starting to be sorry that I gave up playing the piano at an early age and that I have never thought about sports.‎ ‎67. According to the writer, textbook English is ________ everyday English.‎ 13‎ 用心 爱心 专心 ‎ A. quite different from B. the same as ‎ C. more difficult than D. easier than ‎68. What does the word “confused” in the fourth paragraph mean in Chinese?‎ ‎ A. 困惑 B. 憧憬 C. 悲痛 D. 后悔 ‎69. Which of the following is NOT true ?‎ ‎ A. The writer is now in US. ‎ ‎ B. American girls love to have white skin.‎ C. US students are talented and hard working.‎ D. The writer regrets (后悔) that he gave up playing the piano.‎ ‎ (2)‎ Different weather makes people feel different. It influences health, intelligence (智力) and feelings. In August, it is very hot and wet in the southern part of the United States. People there have heart trouble and other kinds of health problems during this month. In the northeast and the middle west, it is very hot sometimes and very cold sometimes. People in these states have more heart trouble after the weather changes in February or March.‎ ‎ The weather can also influence intelligence. For example, in a 1983 study by scientists showed that the IQ of a group of students was very high when a very strong wind came, but after the strong wind, their IQ was 10% lower. The wind can help people have more intelligence. Very hot weather, on the other hand, can make it lower. Students in many schools of the United States often do worse on exams in the hot months of the year (July and August).‎ Weather also has a strong influence on people’s feelings. Winter may be a bad time for thin people. They usually feel cold these months. They might feel unhappy during cold weather. But big people may have a hard time in hot summer. At about ‎18℃‎, people become stronger.‎ Low air pressure (气压) may make people forgetful. People leave more bags on buses and in shops on low-pressure days. There is “good weather” for work and health. People feel best at a temperature of about ‎18℃‎.‎ Are you feeling sad, tired, forgetful, or unhappy today? It may be the weather’s fault.‎ ‎70.___________ can have a bad effect on health.‎ ‎ A. Hot and wet weather B. Good weather C. Warm weather D. High intelligence ‎71. People may have more intelligence when _____________ comes.‎ ‎ A. a rain B. very hot weather C. a wind D. low air pressure ‎72. Low air pressure may make people ________________________.‎ ‎ A. forgetful B. sad C. angry D. tired ‎ ‎73. In “good weather ”of ‎18℃‎, _______________________.‎ ‎ A. people are very forgetful B. people can’t do their work well C. thin people feel cold D. people are in better health ‎ 第二部分 非选择题（共40 分）‎ ‎ 第三节 任务型阅读（共7 小题，每小题2 分，满分14 分）‎ ‎(3)‎ 13‎ 用心 爱心 专心 阅读下面短文，根据所给语境，按要求完成下列各题。‎ How can you think in English? I think the best way is to practice as what a football player does every day. During the practice the football player will pass the ball to his teammates over and over again. So (1) he won’t have to think about passing the ball in the game, he will just do it.‎ ‎ (2)You can train yourself to think in English in this way. The first step is to think of the words that you use daily, simple everyday words like book, shoe or tree. For example , whenever you see a “book”, you should think of it in English instead of in your mother language.‎ ‎ After you have learned to think of several words in English, then move on to the next step ----think of sentences in English. Listen first and don’t care too much about whether you fully understand what you’re hearing. Try to repeat (重复) what you hear. (3)The ___ you listen, the you learn.
