17.Have you ever seen any students whose trousers hang so low you can see their underwear?What do you think of that?Fashionable?Some of today's teenagers are big fans of such a look.(36)A.
The headmaster of a school in central Italy has asked students to stop wearing low-rise jeans that expose underwear and part of the body.His request came after a class trip.One day,he saw one boy's baggy trousers slide to his feet.(37)C.
But in Italy,a nation that takes fashion very seriously,the suggestion caused a debate among parents,teachers and students.The issue is whether the headmaster's request will limit students'freedom-or whether dress in Italian schools is too casual.
(38)B."We do not want to kick fashion out."the headmaster explained,"but extremes of fashion like this are not right in school."Many other schools have now requested that their students also stop wearing such trousers.
(39)F.Ludovica Gaudio,14,wore extremely low trousers exposing orange underwear in class.It was cold,so she wore a matching orange scarf.(40)E."I don't really feel comfortable in those sorts of jeans,"said Sarah Lattanzi,"in winter,when dressed like that,it's quite cold and I am afraid my stomach will ache."

A.But recently this trend has been at the center of an argument in Italian middle schools.
B.A parents'group praised the move in favor of good taste,while others advised schools to stop worrying about fashion and fix up old school buildings.
C.He pointed out that this way of dressing is not suitable for school.
D.Most students have simply ignored the request.
E.Another 14-year-old said she would probably respect the request,simply for practical reasons.
F.Let us see that Italian students react differently to schools'requests.
G.Schools should pay attention to things more important than students'clothes.

分析 文章介绍了现在很多学生的着装过于暴露,意大利的学校的校长提出禁止学生穿这样的衣服,从而引发对学生着装方式的争论.

解答 36-40      ACBFE
36.A.推理判断题.根据上一句"Some of today's teenagers are big fans of such a look."可知此处为但是最近这一趋势一直是意大利中学争论的焦点,与上一句为转折关系.故选A.
37.C.推理判断题.根据上一句"One day,he saw one boy's baggy trousers slide to his feet.",可知此处为"He pointed out that this way of dressing is not suitable for school",此处的"that this way of dressing"与上文的"one boy's baggy trousers slide to his feet"相呼应,他指出这种穿衣方式不适合上学.故选C.
38.B.根推理判断题.据下一句校长的解释"We do not want to kick fashion out,"the headmaster explained,"but extremes (极端) of fashion like this are not right in school.",可知此处应为父母们对这件事情不同态度.故选B.
39.F.推理判断题.根据下文的例子"Ludovica Gaudio,14,wore extremely low trousers exposing orange underwear in class."可知此处应为总结性的句子"很多学生不顾这个要求."故选F.
40.E.推理判断题.根据下文这个学生所说的话"I don't really feel comfortable in those sorts of jeans,"said Sarah Lattanzi,"in winter,when dressed like that,it's quite cold and I am afraid my stomach will ache.",可知另一名14岁说她会尊重这要求,出于实际原因;故选E.

点评 解题策略
1)从意思上判断 在做题时最重要的是要读懂空白前后的句子,正确理解了这些句子后,根据意思的连贯性、逻辑性或者线索词从选项中选取正确答案.在读懂意思的基础上,再利用线索特征词等进一步确认答案.
2)从词汇上锁定线索 做保持对一些线索词的敏感是非常重要的,要好好关注空白前后的名词和动词,然后在选项中查找它们的近义词、反义词、同义词、同类词等.其次是一些专有名词,比如说数词、代词、时间、年代、地点/名称等.尤其是在读不懂句子的情况下,利用这样的线索词寻找答案是很有效的方法.
3)从关联词作为切入点 通常,英语的句段之间经常会运用关联词表示过渡和衔接,让文章的思路与更清楚、逻辑更连贯,因此文章中和选项中表示各种逻辑关系的路标性信号词在选择答案时都是很重要的线索.在做题时可将这三个层面的线索很好地结合起来.

7.One morning,I stepped out of bed and put my feet on the floor.Suddenly,a mean little man jumped out from under the bed and stabbed (刺,扎) an ice pick (碎冰锥) through my left foot.
Figuratively (比喻地) speaking,yes.
I took another step and he stabbed it again.This went on all day.Step,stab,scream.Over the next few days,I started limping (跛行).My whole body hurt.Even my hair.I kept thinking that the little man would get tired of stabbing me and go pick on somebody else.We often take things for granted until we lose them or they start to hurt.
My brother deals with pain every day.He's also blind and suffers from cerebral palsy (脑瘫),needs a walker to walk,doesn't take much for granted.I had to wonder:What would he think about my foot?
Finally,after a week of pain,I went to see a very nice foot doctor.The doctor studied my foot,took X-rays,shook his head,and said the little man's name:Arthur Itis,or Arthritis (关节炎).
I knew it well.I'd often heard it hissed angrily by my grandparents and parents,all attacked by Arthur's ice pick when they got older.
"Wait,"I said."Doesn't Arthur usually just pick on old people?"
The doctor smiled,looking at my chart."How old are you?"
I gave him a look."Never mind,"I said."Can you fix it?"
"Well,"he said,"we can try."
He listed several options and I chose the injection (打针).It didn't hurt much.Not half as much as the ice pick.
That was yesterday.This morning,I awoke,took a few careful steps and …hallelujah!It hurt just a bit,but no ice pick.I looked under the bed.No sign of Arthur.Maybe he was hiding in the closet,waiting for another day.But for now,he was gone,and I was grateful.My mind began to race with plans to do all the things I'd been putting off for days:unpack,clean the house,wash my hair …
Then it hit me.Another stab.Not in my foot.In my heart.I remembered that I hadn't called my brother in a long time.
It's easy to take some things for granted.But it should never be the people we love.
48.Why didn't the author go to see the doctor for the first week?C
A.Because she was afraid that her brother would laugh at her.
B.Because she thought it was too cold to step out of her room.
C.Because she expected that the pain would gradually disappear.
D.Because she believed that she could endure the pain like her brother did.
49.Who had a disease that was different from the other people mentioned?B
A.The author.
B.The author's brother.
C.The author's parents.
D.The author's grandparents.
50.After having the injection,the author'sB.
A.felt regretful because it hurt so much
B.was first satisfied with her recovery
C.felt better but could still feel the"ice pick"pain
D.was busy with housework that had been delayed for days
51.From her experience of arthritis,the author learned thatC.
A.a stabbing pain in the heart is as painful as one in the foot
B.people who help us relieve pain should be thanked properly
C.we should always remember to show our love to those we love
D.we should never take for granted the pain we experience in life.
5.That day,my parents were leaving for our hometown and I went to see them off.In fact,my father had never traveled by air before,so I just took this (36)B to make his experience wonderful.In spite of being asked to book train tickets,I got them air tickets.
The moment I handed over the tickets to him,he was (37)D to see that I had booked them air tickets.The (38)C was very obvious on his face,waiting for the time of travel.We went to the airport together,checked the baggage,asked for a window seat and then waited (39)A for the security check-in.He was thoroughly enjoying himself and I,too,was filled with joy (40)D him experience all these things.
As they were about to go in for the security check-in,he walked up to me with tears in his eyes and thanked me.He became very emotional and it was as if I had done something (41)A,but the fact that this meant a great deal to him.I felt surprised at his behavior.But later,thinking about the entire matter,I (42)B my life.How many (43)C did our parents have?Did they come true?Without understanding the financial situation,we,as children,(44)B cricket bats,dresses,toys,outings,etc.Did we ever think about the sacrifices they had to make to realize our wishes?Did we ever say thanks for all that they have done for us?
Instead of my dad saying (45)C to me,I would want to say I'm sorry for making him wait so long for this small dream.I do realize how much he has (46)A for my sake and I will do my best to give the best possible attention to all their wishes.Being old does not mean that they have to (47)D everything.They have wishes,too.

12.One day,when I was going to check in at an airport,I noticed there was a big problem.The counter person was telling everyone that all the planes were having problems and they would not be able to fly!And it was suggested that a bus would be provided to take us to Seattle.Everyone was worried,as we only had an hour and a half to make the connecting flight,and the bus was not even at the airport yet.
Finally,the bus pulled up,and the driver said,"They just pulled me out of bed after an all-night shift (夜班),and they expect me to get you to Seattle in time to catch your flight.Good Luck!"
Needless to say,everyone was in a really bad mood.I was loading my luggage into the bus and had slung (吊) my banjo over my back when the driver said,"What?Are you going to play that in my bus?""Well,really did not plan on it,"I replied."I was only kidding,"said the driver.But I started thinking about it,and I pulled out the banjo.A worried,angry woman said,"Well,what if I don't like it?""Then tell me and I will stop,"I replied.
We drove off,and the tension (紧张) made the atmosphere in the bus horrendous!Then I started plucking (弹奏) the old song Blue Skies.In a few minutes,I noticed everyone was singing along.I started to sing,too,and before long,the whole bus burst into song.
One song led to another,and everyone seemed to have a request."Do you know You Are My Sunshine?"Everyone laughed and sang,with food passed around the bus,and before long,the airport was in sight.
The bus driver called,"We made it!We never would have done it without the help of our banjo player."Shouts of approval rang through the bus.People exchanged addresses and invitations to visit,and a few exchanged hugs.The driver said to me,"This was the best ride I ever had.Thanks for your music."
A few weeks later,my mailbox was filled with letters from my new friends.Their letters reminded me of how,by reaching out with just a song or a bit of friendship,you can turn a very tense situation into a peaceful experience-a magical,musical bus ride.

2.New research has shown that you might not just be feeling blue,you may also be seeing it differently.A blue mood may be more than just a figure of speech.Your mood may also affect how you see the world around you,according to a new study.A team of researchers has demonstrated that sadness could have an effect on the way we see colors.
  The team,led by psychology researcher Christopher Thorstenson of the University of Rochester,found that people in whom they had induced a sad mood were less accurate in identifying colors on the blue-yellow axis(轴线),compared to people who weren't feeling sad.
"We were already deeply familiar with how often people use color terms to describe common phenomena,like mood.even when these concepts seem unrelated,"Thorstenson said in a statement."We thought that maybe a reason these metaphors emerge was because there really was a connection between mood and identifying colors in a different way."
  Thorstenson and his team are not the first to identify a link between a depressed mood and a difference in recognition.In 2010,Emanuel Bubl and his team at Albert Ludwigs University Freiburg in Germany first demonstrated a link between decreased contrast sensitivity and depression.This was supported by a 2013 paper by Johnson Faro et al of the University of Singapore.
  The team conducted two studies.In the first,127 participants were chosen randomly to watch one of two video clips,which had been proved in previous studies to feel either sadness (a cartoon clip) or amusement (a stand-up comedy routine).They didn't do that in a specific order.
  The entire group was then tasked with identifying the colors in 48 continued color swatches.The group that had been shown the cartoon clip was measurably worse at identifying colors along the blue-yellow axis,although no difference was found along the red-green axis.
  For the second study,130 participants were randomly assigned to watch either a sad clip or a neutral one.The sadness group showed reduced ability to identify colors along the blue-yellow axis than the neutral group.Again,there was no difference along the red-green axis.
  Because of this lack of difference along the red-green axis,the researchers say the difference in ability cannot be explained by lack of effort,or focus.If the subjects were badly focused,they would have performed equally badly along both color axes.

34.The sadness group in the second studyC.
A.felt happy when watching the video
B.performed better than the other
