【題目】閱讀下面材料，在空白處填入適當(dāng)?shù)膬?nèi)容（1個(gè)單詞）或括號(hào)內(nèi)單詞的正確形式。

【1】 we know, there are three medalists in Olympic races: the gold, the silver, and the bronze (銅牌).

Imagine what it’s like to be the silver medalist. If you 【2】 (be) just one second faster, you could have won the gold! So close! You would keep comparing yourself to be the gold winner, full 【3】 envy.

Now imagine what it’s like to be the bronze medalist. One second 【4】 (slow), and you wouldn’t have won anything! Whoo-hoo! You would be thrilled that you were 【5】 (official) an Olympic medalist, and got to stand on the winner’s podium at all.

You can 【6】 compare up or compare down and your 【7】 (happy) depends on where you’re focusing. This is easy to understand, but hard to remember in everyday life. If you catch yourself 【8】 (bum) with envy of anger, think like the bronze medalist, not the silver. Change your focus.

For example, if you buy something that is “the best”, you may feel like a gold winner, but when the new “best” 【9】 (come) out next year, you’ll feel like the siver. Instead, if you look at what you buy as something “surprisingly good”, it will keep you in the bronze mindset. Since you’re not comparing it to best, you’ll feel no need 【10】 (keep) up with the newest thing.

【答案】

【1】As

【2】had been

【3】of

【4】slower

【5】officially

【6】either

【7】happiness

【8】burning

【9】comes

【10】to keep

【解析】

本文是一篇很有哲理的短文，通過(guò)分析奧運(yùn)會(huì)金牌銀牌銅牌獲得者不同的心態(tài)變化，告訴我們要想獲得幸福，就要調(diào)整自己關(guān)注的內(nèi)容以及心態(tài)。

【1】考查定語(yǔ)從句。在定語(yǔ)從句中，關(guān)系代詞as通常指代一句話的內(nèi)容，放在從句的句首引導(dǎo)定語(yǔ)從句，意為“正如…”。句意：正如我們所知，奧運(yùn)會(huì)有三名獎(jiǎng)品獲得者：金牌、銀牌和銅牌。

【2】考查虛擬語(yǔ)氣。根據(jù)主句部分的“you could have won the gold”可知本句是與過(guò)去事實(shí)相反的虛擬語(yǔ)氣，所以從句中應(yīng)該使用過(guò)去完成時(shí)，故“had been”為正確答案。句意：如果你只要再快1秒鐘，你就會(huì)贏得金牌。

【3】考查固定搭配。形容詞短語(yǔ)be full of充滿….；正是因?yàn)閬嗆姾凸谲娤嗖詈苄。詠嗆娨恢焙凸谲娺M(jìn)行比較，心中充滿了羨慕。

【4】考查上下文。根據(jù)后半句“you wouldn’t have won anything!”你什么也贏不到�？芍绻谌俾幻�，他什么也贏不到了。所以使用比較級(jí)形式slower。

【5】考查副詞。在英語(yǔ)中通常使用副詞做狀語(yǔ)修飾動(dòng)詞、形容詞、副詞或者謂語(yǔ)部分。本句中使用副詞officially修飾謂語(yǔ)“were an Olympic medalist”。

【6】考查固定搭配。固定結(jié)構(gòu)either…or…要么…要么…；你要么向上比較，要么向下比較，你的幸福取決于你關(guān)注的方面。

【7】考查名詞。橫線后面使用第三人稱單數(shù)修飾depends，說(shuō)明橫線上應(yīng)該使用名詞作主語(yǔ)，形容詞happy的名詞為happiness。

【8】考查非謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞。本句中動(dòng)詞burn與catch的賓語(yǔ)yourself構(gòu)成主動(dòng)關(guān)系，且表示正在發(fā)生的事情，所以使用現(xiàn)在分詞burning的形式。句意：如果你發(fā)現(xiàn)自己因?yàn)榱w慕嫉妒而生氣，想一想銅牌獲得者而不是銀牌獲得者。

【9】考查時(shí)態(tài)。在時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)從句和條件狀語(yǔ)從句中，通常使用一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)代替將來(lái)時(shí)，主句中使用將來(lái)時(shí)。故本句中時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)中，使用一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)comes。

【10】考查不定式。本句中不定式短語(yǔ)to keep up with the newest thing做定語(yǔ)修飾名詞need。句意：你會(huì)感覺(jué)沒(méi)有必要跟上最新事物。

【題目】 Whales, like all mammals（哺乳動(dòng)物）,need air, and come to the surface to breathe through a blowhole. A drone（無(wú)人機(jī)）that floats over the blowholes of humpback whales as they are making annual journey along Australia's east coast is being used by Australian scientists for collecting nasal mucus（鼻腔粘液）of whales.

Vanessa Pirotta, a biologist at Macquarie University says that nasal mucus indicates the health of the whale. “It is the biological mixture that you see as a whale takes a breath as it surfaces from the water，” she said. You can hear sounds of sharp breaths as a whale breathes because, after all, they are animals like you and I. So as they take a breath it is a lot of lung bacteria coming out from their lungs, which we can collect to provide a brief idea of whale health.

Australian researchers have attached a special dish that is used in scientific tests to a drone which flies through the whale's nasal mist. As a whale comes to take a breath—you can actually see it coming to the surface on really good weather days —the drone then lowers, the dish is then opened, collecting nasal mucus for later research.

The research could help to solve one of the secrets of another impressive creature of the deep —the Southern right whale. Its numbers have recovered on Australia's west coast since hunting became suppressed but its population on the eastern seaboard remains stubbornly low.

In the past, studies into whale health had to rely on examining whales that were either killed or those whales that had been trapped on a beach. Drones allow scientists to collect nasal mucus from free-swimming whales to gather information in a safe way.

【1】What is the drone mainly used to do?

A. To gather information for researchers.

B. To record new species of whales.

C. To guarantee the safety of whales.

D. To take photos of whales' annual journey.

【2】How can a biologist find out a whale's health condition in the study?

A. By examining liquids from its breath.

B. By checking its lungs on a machine.

C. By listening to the sounds of its breath.

D. By studying its similarity with humans.

【3】What does the underlined word “suppressed” in Paragraph 4 mean?

A. Commercial.B. Rewarding.

C. Hidden.D. Forbidden.

【4】Why is the Southern right whale mentioned?

A. To describe the difficulty to track it.

B. To show the increasing population.

C. To stress the urgency of doing the research.

D. To indicate the potential application of the research.

【題目】The writings of Shakespeare are today little read by young people in Britain. His young readership is limited to those who choose to study literature at university.

Shakespeare’s work, together with most other classics, is seen as remote, and written in a 400yearold version of English that is about as inviting as toothache.

Still, in Britain schools, it is compulsory to study the bard(詩(shī)人), and when something is made compulsory, usually the result is boredom, resentment(憎恨) or both.

This was my experience of the classics at school. But when I reached my late teenage years, I had a change of heart. Like every other young person since the dawn of time, the world confused me. I wanted answers, so I turned to books to find them.

I went on to take a PhD in literature and have taught it in Britain and China. I have never regretted it. There is something in literature that people want, even if they don’t read books. You see this in the popularity of TV and movie adaptations of great works, the recent film version of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice being a case in point. These popular adaptations may help increase people’s interest in the classics.

Reading a simplified Romeo and Juliet may perhaps lead to a reading of Shakespeare’s actual play. If that is the case, then I welcome the trend. But do not make the mistake of thinking that it is the same thing. Shakespeare is a poet. His greatness is in his language. Reading someone else’s rewriting of his work is like peeling a banana, throwing away the fruit, and eating the skin. Take on the original. It really is worth the effort.

【1】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. The language used in classics is no longer in use today.

B. British students usually find compulsory reading dull.

C. Only those studying literature read Shakespeare’s works.

D. For British people, Shakespeare’s works are no longer classics.

【2】According to the passage, the writer .

A. has liked literary classics since an early age

B. was forced to read the classics for a PhD

C. turned to literature to seek answers in his teens

D. thinks only people who read books like literature

【3】The underlined phrase ＂a case in point＂ in Paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to ＂ ＂.

A. a great hit

B. a good example

C. a movie adaptation

D. a popular phenomenon

【題目】A Diet Without Enough Protein Can Cause Depression

Depression is a condition so common. 【1】 The World Health Organization (WHO) calls it “a leading cause of disability.” Difficulty in falling asleep, loss of appetite, and loss of ability to concentrate are just a few of the other effects of depression. While life events such as the loss of a spouse or a job may create a happening of depression, many cases come from within, such as people’s diet.

As is reported, both before and during a happening of depression, those with the condition show a “poor appetite”. 【2】 On the other hand, depression may be closely related to protein. Many cases of depression happen to those who don’t eat properly, which then result in lack of protein taken into the body.

【3】 It all comes down to amino acids (氨基酸). Proteins are made up of amino acids. Both the human brain and nervous system use amino acids as a substance that creates a signal from one brain cell to another or one nerve cell to another. With them communication between the cells becomes possible.

【4】 But eight of them, the “essential” ones for communication between the brain cells, must be eaten in one’s diet. So a diet which is lacking in protein lessens the signal being sent from one brain cell to the next during a thought. The process can lead to twisted signals, which can not only lead to depression, but also aggression. 【5】

A. It happens with aggression.

B. It may lead to serious effects.

C. But how lack of protein occurs?

D. There are 20 different amino acids.

E. But what does protein have to do with depression?

F. The poor appetite itself can create a depressed mood.

G. This is why depression can often express itself as anger or aggression.
