59、 no to another spoonful of ice cream and maybe one more after that. Why not? You deserve it. Theres no need to beat yourself up about it later.

60、t can get stuck in the “on” position. According to a new study, this impulse (冲动) control may come down to a very specific circuit in the brain which occasionally produces melanin-concentrating hormone, or MCHa chemical linked with our desire for food or drugs. And that circuit always says yes. By m
61、anipulating this circuit, it is possible that we might be able to develop cures for overeating that help people stick to a diet without reducing normal appetite or making delicious foods like donuts less delicious.

64、ow-now-now switch. Their impulsiveness, however, rose sharply when scientists gave the rats MCH. These animals became more impulsive. MCH, it seemed, could talk rats into loosening its inhibitions (拘束). The result? More please. Researchers can now see where that conversation between the brains rewar
65、d system and its impulse control center takes place. The next step will be to map itand potentially influence the discussion. It may eventually be possible to control a food-eating impulse. 【文章大意】这是一篇说明文。有时候, 你总是忍不住再吃一勺冰淇淋, 根据最新研究显示, 这种冲动控制可以归结为大脑中偶尔会产生的黑色素浓缩激素, 或者称MCH, 它是与我们对食物或药物的渴望有关的化学物质。32. Whi

MCH, it seemed, could talk rats into loosening its inhibitions. 可以看出, 研究者的实验是为了了解MCH对动物的影响。故选A。35. What is the be
71、st title for the text? A. What Is the Effect of Your Impulse? B. What Can You Do to Resist More Food? C. Why Cant You Say “No” to Your Impulse? D. Why Do You Always Give in to One More Mouthful? 【解析】选D。主旨大意题。根据第一段Sometimes, you just cant say no to another spoonful of ice cream and maybe one more aft
72、er that. 可知, 有时, 你拒绝不了另一勺冰激凌或者再来一个; 根据第三段According to a new study, this impulse control may come down to a very specific circuit in the brain which occasionally produces melanin-concentrating hormone, or MCHa chemical linked with our desire for food or drugs. 可以看出, 文章研究的是“你为什么总要多吃一口”现象, 故选D。第二节(共5小题

So what exactly do you know about anger? 36Some people express anger openly in a calm, reasonable way. Others burst with anger, and scream and
74、yell. But other people keep their anger inside. They can not or will not express it. This is called repressing anger. For years many doctors thought that repressing anger was more dangerous to a persons health than expressing it. They said that when a person is angry, the brain releases some hormone
75、s (荷尔蒙). They speed the heart rate, raise blood pressure, or sugar into the blood, etc. 37So is there any solution? 38They say the first step is to admit that you are angry and to recognize the real cause of the anger, then decide if the cause is serious enough to get angry about. If it is, they say
76、, “39Wait until your anger has cooled down and you are able to express yourself calmly and reasonably. ”Doctors say that a good way to deal with anger is to find humor in the situation that has made you angry. 40A. Anger may cause you a cancer. B. Do not express your anger while angry. C. Thus, the
77、person feels excited and ready to act. D. Expressing anger violently is more harmful than repressing it. E. Doctors say the solution is learning how to deal with anger. F.

78、r. 【文章大意】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述的是不同的人对待自己的怒气有不同的方法, 但究竟如何来控制自己的怒气呢, 文章中提出了相应的解决方法。36. 【解析】选F。考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据前一句话“So what exactly do you know about anger? ”意思是问你知道确切的恼怒是什么吗? 可以推断出空格里要填的是关于恼怒的定义, F选项正好符合。故选F。37. 【解析】选C。考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据前面讲当人生气时, 大脑会释放出很多荷尔蒙, 荷尔蒙又会加速心脏跳动, 提高血压血糖, 所以后一句话应该是对前面的一个总结, C选项(因此,
79、 人会感到兴奋并准备行动), 符合语境。故选C。38. 【解析】选E。考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据前一句话“So is there any solution? ”可以推断此处应该是回答解决办法是什么, E选项正好符合语境。故选E。39. 【解析】选B。考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据后一句话“Wait until your anger has cooled down and you are able to express yourself calmly and reasonably. ”可以推断出此处是告诉人们生气时不要发火, 后一句话意思是等怒火平静下来并且你能平静合理地表达
80、自己, 所以B选项符合语境。故选B。40. 【解析】选G。考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。由于前一句话讲在使你感到生气的情况下发现humor, 此处应表达humor的好处, G选项符合语境。故选G。第三部分语言运用(共两节, 满分30分)第一节(共15小题; 每小题1分, 满分15分)阅读下面短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。Every year, many dolphins worldwide are captured(捕获)and kept in small pools, performing for people, especially chi
81、ldren. These dolphins are fed fish instead of having to 41 them. As a result, they start spending most of their time near the pool rather than under water. They get out of shape and can no longer 42 long distances. It affects their 43 greatly, and has proved to have 44 consequences. Thus comes the q
82、uestion, “Should captive dolphins be 45? ”Jeff Foster, a 55-year-old expert, decided to help two captive dolphins, Tom and Misha, to reach their top physical 46. Every day, he used to train the two dolphins to get used to their wild homes again. Twenty months later, Tom and Misha began to act like 4
83、7 dolphins and they were set free back into the sea. 48 Tom and Misha lived in captivity for 45 years, they were able to adapt to the wild. It was 49 what Foster had hoped for. His dreams for the dolphins had finally come true and he knew that the dolphins would 50 in the wild. This program was a bi

116、little girl who taught her mother how to be brave, and breathed a sigh of relief. 【补偿训练】阅读下面短文, 根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。Many Chinese students have studied English for approximately ten years, but most of them cannot even speak English correctly or fluently. In my opinion, there are several obstacles that
117、 have caused this to happen. The main obstacle is fear! Another is the habit of mentally translating from Chinese to English and then to change these thoughts into spoken words and sentences. Many of these difficulties are caused by the way Chinese people study and learn the language. We must learn
118、to speak as a child does. When we are learning a second language, we need to remember how we learned our native language. Learning to understand and speak a language is one of the first skills a child develops. How does a child learn the language? He listens for a time and then he tries to repeat th
119、e words. Parents give great praise for the smallest effort and slightest improvement. Therefore, the child develops courage and is excited about learning. It takes a long time before he knows anything about grammar, spelling or formal sentence structures. As for language teachers, they should avoid
120、criticism and be very encouraging and generous with praise. Criticism or pointing out faults too often causes students to lose self-confidence and develop a fear of speaking. The best way to motivate a student is using praise. The most important aspect of speaking is having good self-esteem. Self-es
121、teem is how you feel about yourself. When most Chinese people are asked how their English is, or they are told their English is very good, they immediately respond by saying, “Oh my English is very poor. ” If you say this to yourself often enough, you will believe it. When someone compliments(称赞) yo
122、u, just say “thank you”. _【参考范文】Caused by their fear and way of learning, many Chinese students cannot speak English fluently even after ten years of learning. (要点1) Actually we should learn to speak English as a child learns his native language by listening and repeating a lot. (要点2) And teachers should praise and encourage rather than criticize students, just as parents do. (要点3) Finally, having good self-esteem is of vital importance in speaking English. (要点4)
