B
Anyone with a passing interest in their health will be able to rattle__off a few of the major vitamins, and possibly take an educated guess at what they do. Vitamin C, found in oranges and other fruit and vegetables, is important for wound repair. And the much-talked-about ‘sunshine’ Vitamin D, produced by the skin in response to UV light, is essential for strong bones.
But Vitamin P? It might well have you scratching your head. And that's not surprising: the term was first coined in the 1930s to describe a small group of compounds that provide pigment(天然色素) to plants, and were believed to have health benefits. Fast-forward almost a century and these compounds are now better known as flavonoids.
Today, scientists have identified between 4,000 and 6,000 different kinds and we now know they are responsible for many of the flavors and smells of fruit and vegetables and also that they protect them from invaders such as pests and bacteria.
- 27 -
They are equally important nutrients for the body, helping maintain bones and teeth, and for the production of the protein collagen(胶原), which provides structure to blood vessels, muscles and skin.
They are also said to help the body deal with some of the key drivers of illness, including oxidation(氧化), a natural process by which the body's cells age and can become damaged and defective(有缺陷的). That means they could help to protect against chronic diseases including cancer and heart disease.
4. Which of the following best explains “rattle off” underlined in Paragraph 1?
A. Quickly say. B. Quickly pass.
C. Quickly find. D. Quickly take.
5. What do we know about Vitamin P?
A. We would scratch our head if we took it.
B. It was made into a coin in the 1930s.
C. People didn't think it beneficial in the past.
D. It refers to the compounds also called flavonoids.
6. How many functions of Vitamin P for humans are mentioned?
A. Four. B. Three.
C. Two. D. One.
7. How does Vitamin P help slow the aging process?
A. By dealing with oxidation.
B. By maintaining bones.
C. By strengthening muscle.
D. By protecting against chronic diseases.
【答案】4. A 5. D 6. B 7. A
【解析】
本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍维生素P以及它对人的作用。
【4题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第一段中Anyone with a passing interest in their health will be able to rattle off a few of the major vitamins, and possibly take an educated guess at what they do. (任何对自己的健康稍有兴趣的人都能rattle
- 27 -
of一些主要的维生素,并可能对他们的行为做出有根据的猜测)。根据后面的并列句“possibly take an educated guess at what they do(可能对它们的作用做出有根据的猜测)”可知,该句介绍人们对各种维生素的了解情况,选项中A“快速地说出”符合上下文语义的衔接,表示“能一口气说出几种主要的维生素”。故选A。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句Fast-forward almost a century and these compounds are now better known as flavonoids.可知,关于维生素P我们知道它指的是也叫类黄酮的化合物。故选D。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中They are equally important nutrients for the body, helping maintain bones and teeth, and for the production of the protein collagen(胶原), which provides structure to blood vessels, muscles and skin.和第五段第一句They are also said to help the body deal with some of the key drivers of illness, including oxidation(氧化),可知,它们对于身体同样重要,它们为身体提供营养价值,有助于维持骨骼和牙齿,也有助于产生蛋白质胶原蛋白,胶原蛋白为血管、肌肉和皮肤提供结构。因此维生素P对人体3个作用。故选B。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中They are also said to help the body deal with some of the key drivers of illness, including oxidation(氧化), a natural process by which the body's cells age and can become damaged and defective(有缺陷的).可知,据说它们还能帮助身体应对一些导致疾病的主要驱动因素,包括炎症和氧化。炎症和氧化是人体细胞老化的自然过程,会导致细胞受损和缺陷。因此推断维生素P通过氧化反应帮助延缓衰老过程。故选A。
C
Can you be hit by a bullet and keep on fighting, or escape from a bomb explosion? Let's take a look at some actions in big-budget movies in summer vacation.
Survive nearby explosions
The scene: A bomb explodes nearby but the hero escapes unharmed.
The science: Powerful explosion produces quickly expanding gas travelling faster than the speed of sound. Although this big wave lasts just a few milliseconds, it
- 27 -
can cause hidden injuries whose effects may not become obvious for several days.
No one, except the most extreme terrorists, plans to be near a bomb, so mostly, survival comes down to good fortune — the size and type of the bomb and your distance from it.
Is it possible? Stand too close and no one is going to walk away from an explosion
unharmed. Not even Iron Man.
Fight on after being shot
The scene: The bad man is shot several times, but just keeps on going.
The science: Travelling at a speed of well over 250 meters per second, bullets are full of energy, much of which is transferred to the unlucky goal. High-speed, high-calibre(口径)bullets are likely to floor a man. Smaller, slower bullets can pass straight through a body, and because skin and tissue are elastic(弹性的),the hole may close up.
Whether or not you fall or escape also depends on where you are hit. A shot to the spine(脊柱)or head will stop you in your track. But if the bullet misses vital organs, you may be able to keep going, for a while at least.
Is it possible? If your vital organs don't take a hit, you may be able to keep going, but not for long. If the bullet does floor you, blood loss finally will.
Fall from a building
The scene: A hero falls from a high building and survives.
The science: It is not the fall that kills you, but the sudden stop at the end. In the movies, falls are commonly slowed by trees, power lines, roofs and the like. Dividing one big fall into many smaller ones slows your fall, reducing the force of impact and increasing the chance of survival.
For the same reason, what you land on is also important.
How you hit the ground also influences whether or not you survive.
Is it possible? Possible but unlikely. Survival is somewhat relative. You can have a good chance to survive, but that doesn't mean you can jump up and run around. Brain injury, broken bones and chest wound are common.
8. What does the underlined part mean in the last paragraph?
- 27 -
A. One might die, but his relatives will live well.
B. It is hard to say one is dead or still alive only by judging from his breath.
C. A man is still breathing, but some organs can not function well as a normal person.
D. Whether an actor can survive or not largely depends on his professional performance.
9. This article probably comes from a .
A. story book B. science fiction
C. movie review D. movie magazine
10. What is the best title for the text?
A. The Science of Summer Movies B. The Background of Summer Movies
C. How to Take the Three Shots D. How to Survive the Three Scenes
11. What can be inferred from the text?
A. As long as one stands far enough away from a bomb he can be safe and unharmed.
B. The hole caused by a bullet in one's body can be treated as nothing has happened at all.
C. Either a hit on spine or a huge blood loss will immediately send you down on the floor.
D. One might be only slightly injured if he falls from a 5-storey building and lands on a soft mud.
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. A 11. D
【解析】
【分析】
本文为说明文。文章主要介绍了暑假大制作电影中的利用科技制作的一些大动作。
【8题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线句前的“Possible but unlikely” 可能,但不太可能。结合下句“You can have a good chance to survive, but that doesn't mean you can jump up and run around. Brain injury, broken bones and chest wound are common.” 你很有可能活下来,但这并不意味着你可以跳,到处跑。脑损伤、骨折和胸部创伤是常见的。即能活下来,但你有可能会受伤。由此可推断出“Survival is somewhat relative.”的意思是你能活下来,能呼吸。但你有可能会受伤,甚至会伤到人的器官,这样受伤的器官可能不能正常运转了。分析选项,可知C项(仍活着,可能会受伤,也许器官会受伤不能正常运转)符合题意,故选C。
- 27 -
【9题详解】
推理判断题。文章主要讲述暑期大制作电影中的利用科技制作的一些动作场景进行了叙述。主要介绍了三个可能但又不可能的场景,如一枚炸弹在附近爆炸,但英雄安然无恙地逃脱;坏人被枪杀了好几次,但还是继续活着;一个英雄从一座高楼上摔下来并活下来。由此可知,本文应该来自电影杂志。故选D。
【10题详解】
主旨大意题。主旨段是文章第一段“Can you be hit by a bullet and keep on fighting, or escape from a bomb explosion? Let's take a look at some actions in big-budget movies in summer vacation.” 你可能被子弹击中而继续战斗,还是能从炸弹爆炸中逃生?让我们来看看暑期大制作电影中的一些动作吧。下文主要介绍了三种暑期大电影中的一些大动作的制作利用科技而将不可能变成了可能。文章中叙述了三部暑假电影(Summer Movies)中的“The scene ”与“The science”成分。分析选项可知,标题中应含有A项中包含“Summer Movies”和“The science””。分析选项可知A项(The Science of Summer Movies)符合题意,故选A。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据场景三“Fall from a building(从一栋楼上坠落)”中的“falls are commonly slowed by trees, power lines, roofs and the like. Dividing one big fall into many smaller ones slows your fall, reducing the force of impact and increasing the chance of survival”、“For the same reason, what you land on is also important. How you hit the ground also influences whether or not you survive.”瀑布通常被树木、电线、屋顶等减缓。将一个大的坠落分成许多小的坠落会减缓你的坠落速度,减少撞击力,增加生存的机会。同样的原因,你的着陆地点也很重要。你落地的方式也会影响你是否能活下来。由以上的内容分析,可知如果一个人从5层楼的楼房摔下来,落在软泥上,会减少撞击力,就会增加生存的机会,有可能只会受轻伤。故D项符合题意,故选D。
【点睛】在阅读中我们经常会考查猜测词义或句意题。事实上,阅读材料中的每个词与它前后的词语或句子甚至段落都有联系。运用逻辑推理猜测词义或句意是使用最广考查最多也最易失分的猜词方式,这要求考生具备整合分散、复杂信息的能力,充分利用上下文(各种已知信息)并结合具体的语境推测、判断某些词或短语的词义。例如第1小题句意猜测题。根据划线句前的“Possible but unlikely” 可能,但不太可能。结合下句“You can have a good chance to survive, but that doesn't mean you can jump up and run around. Brain injury,
- 27 -
broken bones and chest wound are common.” 你很有可能活下来,但这并不意味着你可以跳,到处跑。脑损伤、骨折和胸部创伤是常见的。即能活下来,但你有可能会受伤。由此可推断出“Survival is somewhat relative.”的意思是你能活下来,能呼吸。但你有可能会受伤,甚至会伤到人的器官,这样受伤的器官可能不能正常运转了。分析选项,可知C项(仍活着,可能会受伤,也许器官会受伤不能正常运转)符合题意,故选C。
D
Attitudes toward new technologies often fall along generational lines. That is, generally, younger people tend to outnumber older people in face of a technological shift.
It is not always the case, though. When you look at attitudes toward driverless cars, there doesn't seem to be a clear generational divide. The public overall disagree on whether they'd like to use a driverless car. In a study last year, of all people surveyed, 48 percent said they wanted to ride in one, while 50 percent did not.
The fact that attitudes toward self-driving cars appear to be so steady across generations suggests how transformative the shift to driverless cars could be. Not everyone wants a driverless car now——and no one can get one yet ——but among those who are open to them, every age group is similarly engaged.
When it comes to driverless cars, differences in attitude are obvious based on factors not related to age. College graduates, for example, are particularly interested in driverless cars compared with those who have less education: 59 percent of college graduates said they would like to use a driverless car compared with 38 percent of those with a high-school diploma or less.
Where a person lives matters, too. More people who lived in cities and suburbs said they wanted to try driverless car than those who lived in rural areas.
While there's reason to believe that interest in self-driving cars is going up, a person's age will have little to do with how self-driving cars can become mainstream. Once driverless cars are actually available for sale, the early adopters will be the people who can afford to buy them.
12. What usually happens when a new technology appears?
A. It benefits society greatly.
- 27 -
B. The old are not happy with it.
C. People of different ages react differently.
D. It will separate the old from the young.
13. What does the author say about the driverless car?
A. It makes people's life more convenient.
B. It can lead to fewer road accidents.
C. It may start a revolution in the car industry.
D. It does not seem to create a generational divide.
14. What is likely to affect a person's attitude toward the driverless car?
A. The field of his special interest.
B. The location of his living place.
C. The amount of his driving training.
D. The length of his driving experience.
15. Who are the most potential customers of the driverless car?
A. The seniors. B. The wealthy.
C. The educated. D. The car lovers.
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. B
【解析】
本文是一篇议论文。主要内容是虽然年轻人和老年人对待新技术的态度有所不同,但对于无人驾驶汽车的态度没有明显的代沟,本文就此展开了讨论。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段的That is, generally, younger people tend to outnumber older people in face of a technological shift.(也就是说,在技术变革的情况下,年轻人的数量通常会超过老年人。)由此可知,当一项新技术出现时,通常会发生不同年龄的人会有不同的反应,故选C。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段 When you look at attitudes toward driverless cars there doesn’t seem to be a clear generational divide.(当你审视人们对无人驾驶汽车的态度时,似乎并没有明显的代沟。)可知,对于无人驾驶汽车的态度似乎并没有一个清晰的年代差异,故选D。
- 27 -
【14题详解】
细节理解题。通读后三段以及根据倒数第二段 Where a person lives matters, too(一个人住在哪里也很重要)由此可知,他居住的地方可能会影响一个人对无人驾驶汽车的态度,故选B。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一句Once driverless cars are actually available for sale, the early adopters will be the people who can afford to buy them.(一旦无人驾驶汽车真正上市销售,最早采用它们的将是那些买得起它们的人。)可知,一旦无人驾驶汽车真正上市销售,最早的用户将是那些买得起它们的人。故选B。
第二节(共5小题;每小题3分,满分15分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
The Art of Slow Reading
If you are reading this article in print, chances are that you will only get through half of what I have written. And if you are reading this online, you may not even finish a fifth. ____16____ They suggest that many of us no longer have the concentration to read articles through to their conclusion.
So are we getting stupider? Actually, our online habits are damaging the mental power we need to process and understand textual information. Round-the-clock news makes us read from one article to the next without necessarily engaging fully with any of the content. Our reading is frequently interrupted by the noise of the latest email and we are now absorbing short bursts of words on Twitter and Facebook more regularly than longer texts. ____17____ But we are gradually forgetting how to sit back, think carefully, and relate all the facts to each other.
____18____ A desperate bunch of academics want us to take our time while reading, and re-reading. They ask us to switch off our computers every so often and rediscover both the joy of personal engagement with printed texts, and the ability to process them fully. What's to be done then? Most slow readers realize that total rejection of the web is extremely unrealistic. They feel that getaway from technology for a while is the answer. ____19____ Personally, I'm not sure whether I could ever go offline for long. Even while writing this article, I am switching constantly between
- 27 -
sites, skimming too often, absorbing too little. Internet reading has become too rooted in my daily life for me to change. I read essays and articles not in hard copy but as PDFs. I suspect that many readers are in a similar position. ____20____ You can download a computer application called Freedom, which allows you to read in peace by cutting off your Internet connection. Or if you want to avoid being disturbed by the Internet, you could always download offline reader Instapaper for your iPhone. If you're still reading my article, that is slow reading.
A. The Internet is probably part of the problem.
B Now some campaigns are advocating slow reading.
C. These are the two findings from the recent research projects.
D. But if you just occasionally want to read more slowly, help is at hand.
E. Some of them have suggested turning their computers off for one day a week.
F. Slow reading can help connect a reader to neighborhood and become popular.
G. Because of the Internet, we have become very good at collecting information.
【答案】16. C 17. G 18. B 19. E 20. D
【解析】
本文讲述的是“慢读的艺术”。 研究表明我们中的许多人不再专注于阅读文章,实际上,我们的网络习惯正在破坏我们处理和理解文本信息所需要的精神力量。大多数慢读者意识到,完全拒绝网络是非常不现实的,他们觉得暂时摆脱科技是解决问题的办法。
【16题详解】
根据下文:他们认为,我们中的许多人不再专注于阅读文章。此处的they应该是指代前文出现的事物,也就是C项中的the two findings,“最近的研究项目有两个发现。”故选C。
【17题详解】
根据上句:我们的阅读经常被最新电子邮件的噪音所打断,我们现在在Twitter和Facebook上吸收简短的一连串的单词比长篇大论更有规律。故可知因为有了互联网,我们变得非常善于收集信息。故选G。
【18题详解】
根据下文:一群极度渴望的学者希望我们在阅读或重读的时候要放慢速度。故可知现在一些活动提倡缓慢阅读。故选B。
- 27 -
【19题详解】
根据上文:大多数慢读者意识到,完全拒绝网络是非常不现实的。他们觉得暂时摆脱科技是解决问题的办法。由此推知,E项Some of them have suggested turning their computers off for one day a week.(他们中的一些人建议每周把电脑关掉一天。)与上文匹配。
【20题详解】
根据空格下句:你可以下载一个叫做Freedom的电脑程序,这样你就可以通过切断你的网络连接来阅读。由此可知此处的意思是:如果你只是偶尔想要读得慢一些,那么帮助就在手边。故选D。
【名师点睛】
做七选五时“尤其代词不可放”是说:在填空处的前后语境中出现的一些代词不可忽视。有这样一道题:”They can be rich resources to improve your knowledge.”,该选项中凭空多出一个代词they,这说明什么问题?代词是起替代作用的,一定是前文出现的事物被they替代了,找到被替代的名词就可以了。往文中一找,前面的语境是“Volunteering brings together all kinds of people.所以they替代的就是前文的all kinds of people短语。这样的现象在七选五中是很多见了,能帮助大家解决不少难题。本题第1小题,根据下文:他们认为,我们中的许多人不再专注于阅读文章。此处的they应该是指代前文出现的事物,也就是C项中的the two findings,“最近的研究项目有两个发现。”故选C。

【41题详解】
考查过去分词。句意:我有一个很好的周末计划,所以我耸了耸肩,继续前行。have +宾语+过去分词,此结构中“宾语+过去分词”之间是被动关系,是过去分词作宾语补足语,故答案为planned。

【43题详解】
考查现在分词。句意:他们朝他跑去,把他所有书都从怀里撞了下来,他摔在了地上。句子主语They和knock之间是一种主动关系,是现在分词作伴随状语,故答案为knocking。

【点睛】分析定语从句关键抓住两点:第一、找准先行词;第二、看先行词在定语从句中所作的成分。先行词往往为名词或代词,如本题第10小题中先行词为名词angels,再分析先行词angels在定语从句中所作的成分,将先行词angels带到从句中可知,只能作主语,故确定关系词为who/that。

【分析】
本文为记叙文。我们被要求在工作日把我们的智能手机收集并把它们放在老师那里。事实上,我们大多数人都遵守这一规定,但仍有一些人为此耍小聪明。比如我,有一次交了一个废电话却被李老师识破,在现场我非常尴尬。
【详解】1.考查代词。句意:我们被要求在工作日收集我们的智能手机并把它放在老师那里。根据前面的“our smart phones”可知,有许多手机,要用复数形式,而不是单数,故把it改为them。
2.考查固定用法及冠词的用法。句意:事实上,我们大多数人都遵守这一规定,但有些人仍然玩各种各样的伎俩来反对它。此数的most是代词,表示“大多数”,故其前不用定冠词the,故去掉the。
3.考查名词复数。句意:但仍有人对其耍各种小聪明。我也在其中。根据前面的“various”可知,此处要用名词的复数,故把trick改为tricks。
4.考查动词时态。句意:有一次,我交了一个废弃的电话。根据语境中的“once”可知,事情发生在过去,要用一般过去时,故把hand改为handed。
5.考查固定搭配。句意:李老师,我们的班主任,似乎没有注意到这一切。“seem to do ”为固定搭配,意为“似乎做某事”,故用动词不定式做宾语,故在seemed后添加to。
6.考查形容词做表语。句意:所以我觉得很幸运能多带一部电话。分析句子可知,句中的felt是系动词,后面要用形容词作表语,故把luckily改为lucky。
7.考查语境及连词。句意:所以我觉得很幸运,多带了一部手机。但好时光不会持续太久。根据前后的语境可知,两句是转折关系,而不是递进或并列关系,故把And改为But。
8.考查固定搭配。句意:我能用一下你的电话吗?“for a while”为固定搭配,意为“一会儿,暂时’。故把as改为for。
9.考查非谓语。句意:把我的不用的电话拿出来拨号。分析句子可知,句中的“pick out my waste phone”在句中做伴随状语,pick与动词said二者是主动关系,而且文中的and 后的“dialing”与pick是并列作伴随状语,可知pick也要用动词的-ing形式,故把 pick改为picking。
10.
- 27 -
考查-ed形容词。句意:你可以看到我在现场有多尴尬!形容词“embarrassing”意为“令人尴尬的”,一般用于修饰物的;而“embarrassed”意为“尴尬的”,一般用于修饰人。文中是修饰人的,要用embarrassed,故把embarrassing改为embarrassed。
