【題目】 Brain fitness has basic principles: variety and curiosity. 【1】 If you can do the crossword puzzle in your sleep, it’s time for you to move on to new challenge in order to get the best workout for your brain. Curiosity about the world around you, how it works and how you can understand it will keep your brain working fast and efficiently. Use the ideas below to help improve your mental fitness.

Stories are a way that we strengthen memories, interpret events and share moments. 【3】 Some basic storytelling techniques will go a long way in keeping people’s interest both in you and in what you have to say.

3. 【4】

這是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了四種鍛煉方法讓大腦更健康。

【1】

空后“If you can do the crossword puzzle in your sleep, it’s time for you to move on to new challenge in order to get the best workout for your brain.(如果你可以在睡覺時(shí)做縱橫填字游戲，那你是時(shí)候繼續(xù)新的挑戰(zhàn)來(lái)讓大腦得到最好的鍛練。)”是說要做出改變來(lái)鍛煉大腦，E項(xiàng)“不論做何事，一旦成了第二本能，就需要改變了�！迸c上文意義一致，空后是對(duì)E項(xiàng)的舉例說明，故選E項(xiàng)。

【2】

本段小標(biāo)題是“Learn a New Skill(學(xué)習(xí)一項(xiàng)新技能)”，F項(xiàng)中“Learning a new skill”與小標(biāo)題呼應(yīng)，且根據(jù)下文內(nèi)容“你的記憶也會(huì)發(fā)揮積極的作用，你掌握了一套新動(dòng)作，也發(fā)現(xiàn)了不同的新舊事物之間的聯(lián)系。讀莎士比亞的著作，學(xué)習(xí)烹飪，用牙簽做飛機(jī)，所有這些都鍛煉了大腦，促進(jìn)了大腦思考”可知，F項(xiàng)“學(xué)習(xí)一門新技能會(huì)使大腦更多區(qū)域參與活動(dòng)”統(tǒng)領(lǐng)本段內(nèi)容。故選F項(xiàng)。

【3】

本段小標(biāo)題是“Tell Good Stories(講一些好的故事)”，D項(xiàng)中“telling your stories”與小標(biāo)題呼應(yīng)；空前一句“講故事是我們鞏固記憶，說明事情和分享片刻時(shí)間的好方法”是說講故事的好處，D項(xiàng)“練習(xí)講故事技巧，不論新老故事，這樣它們就聽起來(lái)有趣，同時(shí)也帶來(lái)樂趣�！币彩钦f講故事帶來(lái)的好處，符合語(yǔ)境，故選D項(xiàng)。

【4】

空處是段落小標(biāo)題，本段內(nèi)容“大腦需要有益健康的脂肪。關(guān)注來(lái)自野生三文魚的魚油，堅(jiān)果類如胡桃，種子。多吃這些 食物，少吃飽和脂肪�！敝饕侵v述了一些對(duì)大腦有益的食物，所以B項(xiàng)“為大腦的健康而吃”符合題意，故選B項(xiàng)。

【5】

本段小標(biāo)題是“Read Something Different(閱讀不同類型的書籍)”，C項(xiàng)中“reading different time periods, cultures and peoples”與之呼應(yīng)；空前兩句提到“如果經(jīng)常閱讀歷史方面的書籍，試試改讀一下當(dāng)代小說。讀些外國(guó)人寫的書，讀些名著，讀些隨機(jī)遇到的書”，C項(xiàng)“通過閱讀不同時(shí)期，不同文化背景和各類人物的書籍，不僅豐富了頭腦，而且也能把你讀到的那些有趣的故事講給別人”承接上一句，是說讀不同時(shí)代、不同文化的書籍的好處。故選C項(xiàng)。

【題目】 Do what you love and love what you do, and success will come? Well, we wish. 【1】It takes more than just passion to succeed in anything.

Passion is just emotion; care is an action.

Wishing hard and wanting something really badly won’t give you anything. Passion is a barely controllable emotion, and emotion is not always reliable. 【2】

In today’s world where people always talk about finding your passion, it still seems vague (模糊的) to many. On the other hand, if you’re asked to find something you care about, it’s easier for you to take action.

【3】

There’s a lot of work to do besides being enthusiastic. For example, you can be enthusiastic about painting, but if you don’t have any art sense and painting skills, you can hardly become an expert in painting. 【4】The belief that you’ll do it well anyway as long as you like it is just an illusion.

Learn not just what you care about, but what’s around that too.

When you’ve got your focus, try to map out the skills you need to get better at that. When you have the learning plan ready, apply that course you need, get yourself the tools required and start learning and practicing.

Success is a way to go, but you can start right now.

【5】But if you’ve already got your passion, it will be good enough to make that your foundation and motivation to keep moving. Start mapping out the skills you need and take actions, Instead of passively letting your passion wander around, be active and do something that will push you forward.

A.Care is different, it implies actions.

B.“Like it” doesn’t mean “Good at it”.

C.Passion alone doesn’t guarantee success.

D.However, reality is not as simple as we want it to be.

E.You are good at something and you need the world to know.

F.Desire to make a difference in the world with your strengths.

G.To become an expert, you need to be always learning and improving your skill.

【題目】閱讀下面材料，根據(jù)其內(nèi)容和所給段落開頭語(yǔ)續(xù)寫兩段，使之構(gòu)成一篇完整的短文。

續(xù)寫的詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右。

I woke at 5:30 A.M. after a restless night’s sleep. I slowly unzipped the tent door to inspect the new day. Just like yesterday, the wind had dropped. It was another beautiful Arctic day. I crawled out of my sleeping bag unwillingly. I am normally a morning person but the intense cold outside made that morning most unappealing. Anyhow, it was time to greet Charlie and start the day.

My dog Charlie was up and it was bouncing up and down at the end of his chain looking well rested. I poured what looked like a pound of dog food into his bowl.

Stepping out of the tent, I looked around for bears or tracks and saw none. It would never be a good thing to meet a polar bear. An Inuit (因紐特人) once told me that I should watch out for polar bears. He said that if I met a polar bear, I should keep the following rules in mind. First, keep eye contact, move sideways or slightly forward, never backward, stay calm. Do not show fear and stand beside a large object to make myself appear as large as possible. Weapons like flare gun(信號(hào)槍) are necessary, but do not shoot unless forced to. Don’t wound a bear, or you'll make it even more dangerous, and never run.

It was only six o’clock, so I decided to have a leisurely breakfast of a bowl of milk powder, coconut flakes, and butter mixed with warm water. I sat on my sled（雪橇） to enjoy my first breakfast of the expedition only to find that after the third spoonful it was frozen. So much for leisurely breakfasts! I added more warm water and ate the rest as fast as possible.

Suddenly I heard a deep, long growl coming from Charlie’s throat. In a flash I looked at him and then in the direction in which he was staring. It was a female polar bear followed by two cubs（幼崽） slowly, purposefully, toward me. They were two hundred yards away.

Paragraph 1:

With my heart quickening, I grabbed my loaded flare gun and carefully walked sideways a few steps to Charlie.

【題目】 Much meaning can be conveyed clearly with our eyes, so it is often said that eyes can speak.

【1】In a bus you may look at a stranger, but not for too long. And if he sensed that you are staring at him, he may feel uncomfortable.

The same is true in our daily life. If you are stared at for more than necessary, you will look at yourself up and down to see if there is anything wrong with you. 【2】. Eyes do speak, right？

Looking too long at someone may seem to be rude and aggressive.【3】. If a man stares at a woman for more than 10 seconds and refuses to look away from her, his intentions are obvious. He wishes to attract her attention, and let her know that he is admiring her.

However, when two persons are engaged in a conversation, the speaker will only look into the listener’s eyes from time to time to make sure that the listener does pay attention to what the former is speaking.【4】 If a speaker looks at you continuously when speaking as if he is trying to control you, you will feel awkward. A poor liar usually exposes himself by looking too long at the victim.

【5】 On the contrary, it will give him away.

Actually, eye contact should be made based on specific relationship and situation.

A.If nothing goes wrong, you will feel annoyed at being stared at that way.

B.That’s what normal eye contact is all about.

C.Actually, continuous eye contact is limited to lovers only.

D.Do you have such a kind of experience?

E.But things are different when it comes to staring at the opposite sex.

F.He wrongly believes that looking straight in the eye is a sign of honest communication.

G.After all, nobody likes to be stared at for quite a long time.
