【题目】 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 (个性) 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.

【解析】

这是一篇说明文。文章说明了颜色在我们的生活中起着非常重要的作用:我们用它来作为身份的标志、用它来装饰,还通过它来传达不同的信息。

1空格位于段中。由空格后句子的句意“我们用它来作为身份的标志、用它来装饰。我们还用不同的颜色来传达不同的信息”可知,上一句话应该是强调颜色在我们生活中的重要作用。选项D中的“plays an important role in our daily life(在日常生活中扮演着重要的角色)”与下文中重复出现的use形成呼应关系。故选D

2空格位于段首。由段中内容:“从照片中这名学生穿的彩色的传统服饰,人们可以知道他是克丘亚家族的成员。我们在学校穿校服,在工作场合穿工衣,都是为了让别人知道我们是属于一个集体的”可知,这段话主要讲述从颜色可以看出一个人的身份。选项C中的“a sense of group identity(群体认同感)”与本段内容中提到的各种身份呼应,故选C

3空格位于段尾。这段话主要讲述颜色在群体认同感中的作用,所以我们可以推知,我们在学校穿校服,在工作场合穿工衣,在运动时穿我们最喜欢的队服就是为了让别人知道我们是一个群体,是一家人。选项A中的family与此段中心相符合,故选A

4空格位于段尾。空格前一句句意为:在时尚意识很强的欧洲,人们穿得颜色每个季节也在变。选项G(例如,这个秋天人们喜欢穿紫色的衣服)恰巧是上句句意的一个举例。其中的are wearing与上句中的“in” color 呼应。故选G

5空格位于段中。空格后句子句意为:银行使用平静的蓝色代表信任,深绿色代表质量,棕色或者绿色代表对环境友好。由此可知,这里谈论的是一些公司在使用颜色时的考虑。选项F中的companies与其后的bank呼应,其中的color与后边句子中各种颜色的举例呼应。故选F

七选五题目主要考查学生综合的英语逻辑思维能力。一篇好的短文,不仅在内容上要前后一致,而且还要语篇结构清晰,上下文逻辑意义严谨。内容的前后一致体现在段内及语篇内话题的自然过渡。语篇结构主要体现为:文章是总分结构,还是按时间或空间顺序发展的,还是辩证三段论的编排的。逻辑意义的严谨最主要的可以通过代词、连词和副词等形式来体现。例如本文通过看首段及后续段落首句可知:是总分的形式。其后每个段落的内容都与第一段中举例的颜色的三个用途相呼应。同学们要是看出这个结构,第二题与第三题就很容易选择出答案。这两题都是利用段落内容与主旨紧密呼应的原则解出的。第一题,第四题,第五题都是利用上下句之间的关键词呼应来解题。这三题上下句之间都是总分的关系,所以上下句之间必然会有同义词替换之类的呼应。同学们在解题时要多积累这样的技巧,可以加快七选五的解题速度与准确度。

【题目】 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 (把作为目标)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 (对抗手段)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?

【题目】 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.

【题目】 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!

【题目】 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 (领域) can be especially shocking and heartbreaking---even to those of us who don't know them personally.

On Jan 26, Kobe Bryant(科比·布莱恩特), 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 (球场), 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.

The fact that Bryant is no longer with us is sad. We'll never see him give another interview or play in another game. But the work he has done will keep inspiring us years after his death.

【题目】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(一段时间) 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.
