At the Secret Garden Tea Cafe& Gift ShoppeBWhat Theresa Loe is doing proves that a large farm isnt a prerequisite for a modern grow-your-own lifestyle. On a mere 1/10 of an acre in Los Angele
17、s, Loe and her family grow, can (装罐) and preserve much of the food they consume.Loe is a master food preserver, gardener and canning expert. She also operates a website, where she shares her tips and recipes, with the goal of demonstrating that everyone has the ability to control whats on their plat
18、e.Loe initially went to school to become an engineer, but she quickly learned that her enthusiasm was mainly about growing and preparing her own food. “ got into cooking my own food and started growing my own herbs(香草)and foods for that fresh flavor,” she said. Engineer by day, Loe learned cooking a
19、t night school. She ultimately purchased a small piece of land with her husband and began growing their own foods.“I teach people how to live farm-fresh without a farm,” Loe said. Through her website Loe emphasizes that anybody can do this anywhere.” Got an apartment with a balcony (阳台)? Plant some
20、herbs. A window? Perfect spot for growing. Start with herbs, she recommends, because “theyre very forgiving.” Just a little of the herbs “can take your regular cooking to a whole new level,” she added. “I think its a great place to start.” Then? Try growing something from a seed, she said, like a to
21、mato or some tea.Canning is a natural extension of the planting she does. With every planted food, Loe noted, theres a moment when its bursting with its absolute peak flavor. “I try and keep it in a time capsule in a canning jar,” Loe said. “Canning for me is about knowing whats in your food, knowin
22、g where it comes from.”In addition to being more in touch with the food shes eating, another joy comes from passing this knowledge and this desire for good food to her children: “Influencing them and telling them your opinion on not only being careful what we eat but understanding the bigger picture
23、,” she said, “that if we dont take care of the earth, no one will.”24. The underlined word “prerequisite” (Para. 1) is closest in meaning to“ ”.A. recipeB. substituteC. requirementD. challenge25. Why does Loe suggest starting with herbs?A. They are used daily.B. They are easy to grow.C. They can gro
24、w very tall.D. They can be eaten uncooked.26. According to Loe, what is the benefit of canning her planted foods?A. It can preserve their best flavor.B. It can promote her online sales.C. It can better her cooking skills.D. It can improve their nutrition.27. What is the “the bigger picture” (Para. 6
25、) that Loe wishes her children to understand?A. The knowledge about good food.B. The way to live a grow-our-own life.C. The joy of getting in touch with foods.D. The responsibility to protect our earthCThe values of artistic works, according to cultural relativism(相对主义), are simply reflections of lo
26、cal social and economic conditions. Such a view, however, fails to explain the ability of some works of art to excite the human mind across cultures and through centuries.History has witnessed the endless productions of Shakespearean plays in every major language of the world. It is never rare to fi
27、nd that Mozart packs Japanese concert halls, as Japanese painter Hiroshige does Paris galleries, Unique works of this kind are different from todays popular art, even if they began as works of popular art. They have set themselves apart in their timeless appeal and will probably be enjoyed for centu
28、ries into the future.In a 1757 essay, the philosopher David Hume argued that because“the general principles of taste are uniform(始终如一的) in human nature,”the value of some works of art might be essentially permanent. He observed that Homer was still admired after two thousand years. Works of this typ
29、e, he believed, spoke to deep and unvarying features of human nature and could continue to exist over centuries.Now researchers are applying scientific methods to the study of the universality of art. For example, evolutionary psychology is being used by literary scholars to explain the long-lasting
30、 themes and plot devices in fiction. The structures of musical pieces are now open to experimental analysis as never before. Research findings seem to indicate that the creation by a great artist is as permanent an achievement as the discovery by a great scientist.28. According to the passage, what
31、do we know about cultural relativism?A. It introduces different cultural values.B. It explains the history of artistic works.C. It relates artistic values to local conditions.D. It excites the human mind throughout the world.29. In Paragraph 2, the artists are mentioned in order to show that _ .A. g
32、reat works of art can go beyond national boundariesB. history gives art works special appeal to set them apartC. popular arts are hardly distinguishable from great artsD. great artists are skilled at combining various cultures30. According to Hume, some works of art can exist for centuries because_
33、.A. they are results of scientific studyB. they establish some general principles of artC. they are created by the worlds greatest artistsD. they appeal to unchanging features of human nature31. Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage?A. Are Artistic Values Universal?B. Are
34、 Popular Arts Permanent?C. Is Human Nature Uniform?D. Is Cultural Relativism Scientific?DA large body of research has been developed in recent years to explain many aspects of willpower. Most of the researchers exploring self-control do so with an obvious goal in mind: How can willpower be strengthe
35、ned? If willpower is truly a limited resource, as the research suggests, what can be done to make it stay strong?Avoiding temptation (诱惑) is an effective method for maintaining self-control, which is called the “out of sight, out of mind” principle. One recent study, for instance, found office worke
36、rs less attracted to candy in the desk drawer than that on top of their desks, in plain sight.The research suggesting that we possess a limited reservoir of self-control raises a troubling question. When we face too many temptations, are we to fail? Not necessarily. Researchers dont believe that one
37、s willpower is ever completely exhausted. Rather, people appear to hold some willpower in reserve, saved for future demands. The right motivation allows us to tap into those reserves, allowing us to carry on even when our self-control strength has been run down. High motivation might help overcome w
38、eakened willpower-at least to a point.Willpower may also be made less vulnerable（脆弱）to being exhausted in the first place. Researchers who study self-control often describe it as being like a muscle that gets tired with heavy use. But there is another aspect to the muscle comparison, they say. While
39、 muscles become exhausted by exercise in the short term, they are strengthened by regular exercise in the long term. Similarly, regular practices of self-control may improve willpower strength.The evidence from willpower-exhaustion studies also suggests that making a list of resolutions on New Years
40、 Eve is the worst possible approach. Being exhausted in one area can reduce willpower in other areas, so it makes more sense to focus on a single goal at a time. In other words, dont try to quit smoking, adopt a healthy diet and start a new exercise plan at the same time. Taking goals one by one is
41、a better approach. Once a good habit is in place, Baumeister says, youll no longer need to draw on your willpower to maintain the behavior. Eventually healthy habits will become routine, and wont require making decisions at all.32. From the studies in the passage we learn that .A. people have unlimi
42、ted self-controlB. high motivation ensures ones successC. willpower is hardly completely exhaustedD. too many temptations often lead to failure33. The underlined phrase “tap into” in Paragraph 3 most probably means .A. make use ofB. run out ofC. buildD. increase34. The author compares self control t
43、o muscles .A. to prove the long-term effect of willpowerB. to show the significance of regular exerciseC. to argue that self-control can he easily used upD. to explain the benefits of practicing self-control35. To develop a good habit, which of the following does the author prefer?A. “I will give up
44、 dessert and do exercise.”B. “I will set three goals this new semester.”C. “I will read an English novel every month.”D. “I will keep myself from any temptation.”第二节（共5小题; 每小题2分, 满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Changing your life can come in small, easy steps. You can transform yourse
45、lf and live a better life by making positive changes along the way. Here are some choices that will lead to your transformation.Choose to change bad habitsSome bad habits seem to stick around without us even realizing it. 36.

The updated program is being printed at the moment.OK now, before we go for breakfast, are there any questions?阅读理解A篇 CAD【解析】本文是一篇应用文，介绍
84、了在英国吃下午茶的几个好去处。21细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The light, elegant, scone-centric meal served at fancy hotels is called “low tea” or “afternoon tea”.”可知，在英国，下午茶是由高级酒店供应的，故C项正确。22细节理解题。根据Chat Noir部分中的“Open 7 days a week.”及“516-208-8521, ”可知，Chat Noir每周营业七天，因此预订星期一的下午茶可拨打516-208-8521，故A项正确。23细节理解题。根据The Secret Garden
85、Tea Cafe& Gift Shoppe部分中的“includes scones, fresh fruit,”可知，The Secret Garden Tea Cafe& Gift Shoppe的下午茶包括新鲜的水果，因此想要吃到带水果的下午茶应该去这里，故D项正确。B篇 CBAD【解析】本文是一篇记叙文。Loe是“自己种植”现代生活方式的实践者，她热衷于自己种植香草和味道新鲜的食物，并将食物装入密封罐中保持以保持最佳的风味，更想通过自己的举动影响孩子们，让他们意识到保护地球的责任。32词义猜测题。根据首段第二句“On a mere 1/10 of an acre and preserve
86、much of the food they consume”可知面积并不是硬要求。该句句意为：Loe在那里所做的一切证明，一个大农场对“自己种植”现代生活方式来说并不是一个硬要求。故选C项。33细节理解题。根据第四段中“Start with herbs, she recommends, because “theyre very forgiving.” Just a little of the herbs “can take your regular cooking to a whole new level,” she added. ”可知香草很容易生长。故选B项。34细节理解题。根据第五段中“
87、there is a moment when its bursting with its absolute peak flavor.

88、受欢迎的原因是人类的审美具有共同性，并且就此展开说明。28细节理解题。根据第一段第一句话The values of artistic works, according to cultural relativism(相对主义), are simply reflections of local social and economic conditions.可知根据相对主义，艺术作品就是把艺术的价值与当地的社会经济条件结合在一块，故选C项。29推理判断题。根据第二段内容可知，在日本的音乐厅里发现莫扎特，就像在巴黎的画廊发现日本画家弘之治一样，这并不罕见。因此推断，提到这些艺术家是为了说明艺术作品可以
89、超越国界，故选A项。30细节理解题。根据第三段第一句话In a 1757 essay, the philosopher David Hume argued that because“the general principles of taste are uniform(不变的) in human nature,”the value of some works of art might be essentially permanent. 可知David认为由于“品味的一般原则在人性中是不变的”，某些艺术作品的价值可能本质上是永恒的。所以一些艺术是可能会永生的，故选D项。31主旨大意题。本文主要从
90、相对论的角度来说，艺术的价值只能反应当时的社会经济，作者提出不同的观点，探讨了艺术是普遍的观点。故A项“艺术价值是普遍的吗？”故选A。 D篇 CADC【解析】这是一篇议论文。短文列举了关于意志力的几种研究和观点，作者认为有了明确的目标，良好的自我监督和练习，就可以在面对诱惑时使意志力保持坚强。24细节推理题。根据第三段Researchers dont believe that ones willpower is ever completely exhausted. Rather, people appear to hold some willpower in reserve, saved fo
91、r future demands.可知，研究人员不相信人的意志力会完全耗尽，他们还有备用的和为将来需求节省的意志力。所以从文章中的研究我们了解到意志力几乎没有完全丧失。故C选项正确。25猜测词义题。由第三段“The right motivation allows us to tap into those reserves, allowing us to carry on even when our self-control strength has been run down.”可知，正确的动机使我们能够利用这些储备，即使我们的自我控制能力已经被消耗殆尽，我们仍然可以继续前进。所以通过上下文的
92、语境，判断出“tap into”指利用，与make use of同义。故A选项正确。26推理判断题。根据第四段While muscles become exhausted by exercise in the short term, they are strengthened by regular exercise in the long term. Similarly, regular practices of self-control may improve willpower strength.可知，虽然肌肉在短期内会因运动而疲惫不堪，但长期而言，它们会通过经常锻炼而增强。同样规律的自我
93、控制可以提高意志力。两者相比是为了说明同一个道理：长期的锻炼和自我控制的好处。所以作者把自我控制比作肌肉是为了解释自我控制的好处。故D选项正确。27推理判断题。根据倒数第二段Taking goals one by one is a better approach. Once a good habit is in place, youll no longer need to draw on your willpower to maintain the behavior. Eventually healthy habits will become routine, and wont require
94、 making decisions at all.可知，作者认为一个接一个的制定目标是一个更好的方法。一旦养成好习惯，你就不再需要依靠意志力来维持自己的行为。最终健康的习惯将成为惯例，而且不需要做任何决定。所以C项“I will read an English novel every month.”是先设立目标，然后成为好习惯，作者更喜欢这种目标。故C选项正确。【点睛】根据事物的定义或者对事物总体的概括，从而判断出哪些具体事物或者具体的实践应该属于定义的范围或者是概括的范围是我们经常见到的推理判断题的题型。要解决这样的判断题，首先要讲对事物的定义或者对事物的总体概括要读清楚，然后根据对比4个选
95、项，哪个选项在定义或者概括范围内的。哪个就是正确的答案。由倒数第二段Taking goals one by one is a better approach. Once a good habit is in place, youll no longer need to draw on your willpower to maintain the behavior. Eventually healthy habits will become routine, and wont require making decisions at all.可知，作者认为一个接一个的制定目标是一个更好的方法。一旦
96、养成好习惯，你就不再需要依靠意志力来维持自己的行为。最终健康的习惯将成为惯例，而且不需要做任何决定。C项“I will read an English novel every month.”是先设立目标，然后成为好习惯，作者更喜欢这种目标。故小题4的正确选项为C选项。七选五 CEDAG【解析】本文是一篇说明文。改变你的生活可以是小而简单的步骤。你可以通过积极的改变来改变你自己，过上更好的生活。这里有一些选择将会导致你的转变。36上文提示“一些坏习惯似乎在我们没有意识到的情况下依然存在。”再根据下文提示“你可以克服它们，找到更好的选择，并通过你的奋斗来成为一个更好的你！”承接上下文，C项Make

99、择花时间和你爱的人在一起）。Love是关键词，故选A。40上文提示“无论付出什么代价，都要选择去追求那些激情。这可能意味着你要清空你的日程表，或者做一些你从未做过的事情。”承接上文，G项However, the reward from success and personal accomplishment will be worth it.（然而，成功和个人成就的回报是值得的。）切题。该项中的the reward和be worth与上文中的whatever cost构成一种转折关系，故答案为G。【点睛】在做七选五时一定要注意and/but/so/besides/however/furtherm
100、ore/moreover/in addition/whats more等词汇、固定结构的运用。它们连接了上下文，起着承上起下的作用。像but（但是）、however（然而），表示转折，这说明前后的内容相反或相对。把握住这一点，做起题来就会得心应手。本题第5小题，G项However, the reward from success and personal accomplishment will be worth it.（然而，成功和个人成就的回报是值得的。）切题。该项中的the reward和be worth与上文中的whatever cost构成一种转折关系。完形填空41C 42A 43B
