【答案】

【1】satisfied

【2】Do

【3】who

【4】and

【5】to know

【6】being woken

【7】of

【8】occurred

【9】strength

【10】later

【解析】

试题分析:这主要讲述了一个笑话,一个流浪汉睡在公园的长椅上,有两次被问到时间,因为没有手表,所以不知道具体时间,他很不高兴别人打扰他睡觉,于是写了一个纸片,说明情况,最后警察来告诉他时间,他最终还是被打扰了。

【1】satisfied。这句话的意思是:“一天,一个流浪汉睡在公的长椅上,惬意地享受着午后的阳光。”Be satisfied with 是固定词组,此句中,主谓宾很完整,satisfied with the afternoon sunshine 作为一个形容词短语修饰主语。故填satisfied。

【2】Do。这整句话意思是:“打扰一下,请问你知道时间吗?”这句话是一个一般疑问句,再结合问句的另一半you have the time ,可至此处借用助动词Do来提问。故填Do。

【3】who。这整句话的意思是:“不久后,一个带着她的狗一起散步的女人路过,摇了摇流浪汉的肩膀直到他醒。”此句话主谓宾很完整,中间部分___was out walking her dog只能作为一个定语从句,起修饰a woman 的作用,定语从句中修饰人用who,故填who。

【4】and。空白处前后两句话均是完整的,外出遛狗的女人将流浪弄醒以后,是准备向他询问时间的,是先摇醒,然后才发起询问这个动作,这中间是顺承的关系,因此用连词and,表示一个动作完成以后继续另外一个动作,故填and。

【5】to know。这整句话的意思是:“很抱歉打扰您,但是请问一下,您知道现在是几点了吗?”此题考查的是词组happen to “刚好,恰巧”的意思,to后面接动词原形,故填to know。

【6】being woken。这半句话的意思是:“流浪汉对再次被被弄醒感到很恼火”,be annoyed at是“对....很恼火、气恼”,词组中的介词at 后面接的是动名词,流浪汉是被吵醒的,因此应该用被动语态,故填being woken。

【7】of。这整句话的意思是“虽然这个流浪汉因为被再次弄醒,感到很恼火,但是他依然很礼貌地回答这个女人说他没有手表,所以不知道时间。”本体考查的是词组have no idea of ,这是固定词组,“不知道......”的意思,故填of。

【8】occurred。这句话的意思是“当那个女人走后,这个流浪汉想出了一个主意。”此处当中包含了一个词组sth occur to sb 整篇文章当中的时态全部运用过去时,因此此处也应该选用过去时,occur的过去式是双写r加ed,故填occurred。

【9】strength。这句话的意思是:“流浪汉用他所有的力气在纸上写着‘我没有手表,所以我不知道时间’。”此处“用尽所有的力气”当中的“力气”是名词,strong是一个形容词,它的名词形式是strength,故填strength。

【10】later。这句话的意思是:“十五分钟以后,一位警察发现了流浪汉旁边的那个写字的那张纸,警察先生处于内心的责任感,将流浪汉弄醒了,并告诉他现在的时间是下午2点半。”流浪汉不想被打扰,因此写字表明自己不知道时间,根据上下文意思,可知,他再次被打扰是在十五分钟以后。故填later。

【题目】My wife Julie and I were out on the road that runs around where we live, when we saw an old worn-out dog stumbling (蹒跚) painfully up the road. We stopped, bent down, talked gently to the dog and patted it. I checked and there was a collar with a phone number. I called but no one answered.

The dog was painfully thin. So Julie ran home to get some of our dog’s food while I tried to encourage the dog. After Julie came back, we sat down on the sidewalk while our new friend made short work of the food. Eventually we got her home.

After trying for many times we got a response from the number. A lady came around with a bunch of flowers for us. She explained that Tara had been her father’s dog. She was very old and got lost that morning. So, Tara was safely returned home.

Here is the truth of the story:

Actually Julie and I were out that morning because I was leaving. She was trying to persuade me to come back, but I wasn’t hearing anything that made that sound likely.

I was about to turn and go when an old black dog walked between us and almost fell down. Suddenly we had something more important than our problem to worry about. There was a creature in need right before us and we had to work together to help it.

We did help it. And here I am writing the story in my own home, in my own family.

【题目】Exercise seems to be good for the human brain, with many recent studies suggesting that regular exercise improves memory and thinking skills. But an interesting new study asks whether the apparent cognitive benefits from exercise are real or just a placebo effect — that is, if we think we will be “smarter” after exercise, do our brains respond accordingly? The answer has significant implications for any of us hoping to use exercise to keep our minds sharp throughout our lives.

While many studies suggest that exercise may have cognitive benefits, recently some scientists have begun to question whether the apparently beneficial effects of exercise on thinking might be a placebo effect. So researchers at Florida State University in Tallahassee and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign decided to focus on expectations, on what people anticipate that exercise will do for thinking. If people’s expectations jibe (吻合) closely with the actual benefits, then at least some of those improvements are probably a result of the placebo effect and not of exercise.

For the new study, which was published last month in PLOS One, the researchers recruited 171 people through an online survey system, they asked half of these volunteers to estimate by how much a stretching and toning regimens (拉伸运动) performed three times a week might improve various measures of thinking. The other volunteers were asked the same questions, but about a regular walking program.

In actual experiments, stretching and toning program generally have little if any impact on people’s cognitive skills. Walking, on the other hand, seems to substantially improve thinking ability.

But the survey respondents believed the opposite, estimating that the stretching and toning program would be more beneficial for the mind than walking. The estimates of benefits from walking were lower.

These data, while they do not involve any actual exercise, are good news for people who do exercise. “The results from our study suggest that the benefits of aerobic exercise are not a placebo effect,” said Cary Stothart, a graduate student in cognitive psychology at Florida State University, who led the study.

If expectations had been driving the improvements in cognition seen in studies after exercise, Mr. Stothart said, then people should have expected walking to be more beneficial for thinking than stretching. They didn’t, implying that the changes in the brain and thinking after exercise are physiologically genuine.

The findings are strong enough to suggest that exercise really does change the brain and may, in the process, improve thinking, Mr. Stothart said. That conclusion should encourage scientists to look even more closely into how, at a molecular level, exercise remodels the human brain, he said. It also should encourage the rest of us to move, since the benefits are, it seems, not imaginary, even if they are in our head.

1Which of the following about the placebo effect is TRUE according to the passage?

A. It occurs during exercise. B. It has cognitive benefits.

C. It is just a mental reaction. D. It is a physiological response.

2Why did the researchers at the two universities conduct the research?

A. To discover the placebo effect in the exercise.

B. To prove the previous studies have a big drawback.

C. To test whether exercise can really improve cognition.

D. To encourage more scientists to get involved in the research.

3What can we know about the research Cary Stothart and his team carried out?

A. They employed 171 people to take part in the actual exercise.

B. The result of the research removed the recent doubt of some scientists.

C. The participants thought walking had a greater impact on thinking ability.

D. Their conclusion drives scientists to do research on the placebo effect.

4What might be the best title for the passage?

A. Is it necessary for us to take exercise? B. How should people exercise properly?

C. What makes us smarter during exercise? D. Does exercise really make us smarter?

【题目】Cheating is when a person misleads, deceives or acts dishonestly on purpose. 【1 If a basketball team is for kids under 8, it's cheating for a 9-year-old play on the team.
