24、students might need a while to remember.But for students in Yangzhou University it is easy to remember as they need to run in the morning at least three times a week during their two terms.The university even uses fingerprint punch-in clocks(指纹签到机)to manage students records.However,some students sti
25、ll try to skip(不参加)morning running.To them,sports are just not important enough.Now colleges are seeing a change in the student lifestyle from outdoor enthusiasts to indoor couch potatoes and Internet addicts.The Internet and various on-campus services,from food delivery to laundry,are leading to a
26、student culture of staying in dormitories.A student can have every need met without leaving the dormitory.In the past two years Zhang Yi,20,a junior majoring in law at Yangzhou University,has never been outside for sports except during physical education class.“I dont think there is anything wrong w
27、ith sleeping late in the morning and wanting to stay in the dormitory in my spare time.I have more fun doing things on my computer than playing on the sports ground in wet clothes,” said Zhang.“With social networking sites,online games and micro-blogging added to already tight schedules,sports are o
28、ften the last thing to be considered,” said Cheng Jie,21,a senior majoring in civil engineering at the Southeast University in Nanjing.But Jin Yinghua,a professor at Beijing Sports University,said that sports are not only for keeping fit,but also an irreplaceable “education” for students.Sports are
29、not only a way for students to train their body,but also an important way to learn responsibility,teamwork and devotion.21.The first paragraph mainly tells us .A.the fingerprint punch-in clocks are widely usedB.some college students have poor memoriesC.students cannot skip morning running any moreD.
30、the problem of skipping sports is serious答案D解析段落大意题。根据本段的“However,some students still try to skip(不参加)morning running.To them,sports are just not important enough.”可知答案。22.According to Cheng Jie,college students .A.love sports more than anything elseB.prefer Internet games to sportsC.enjoy sleeping
31、late in the morningD.are too busy with study to do any sports答案B解析细节理解题。根据文中的“With social networking sites,online games and micro-blogging added to already tight schedules,sports are often the last thing to be considered.”可知答案。23.Professor Jin thinks that .A.sports play an important role in students
32、 overall developmentB.the most important goal for students to do sports is to keep healthyC.universities should take tough measures in student managementD.the spirit of responsibility can be developed in more than one way答案A解析推理判断题。根据文中的“Sports are not only a way for students to train their body,but
33、 also an important way to learn responsibility,teamwork and devotion.”可知答案。24.The best title of the passage would be. A.Morning running at collegesB.A new college lifeC.Sports losing attractionD.P.E.class at colleges答案C解析主旨大意题。本文在第一段引出主题:一些大学生不愿意参加运动,这个现象已经很严重了。然后进行了具体介绍和分析。故选C项。BWe do not usually t
34、hink about how our language works.Talking is such a natural,everyday activity that we do not often stop to consider how it actually works.When we do study our language,though,we are often surprised that we are able to understand our conversations.Words can mean so many different things.However,it tu
35、rns out that the speaking situation helps a lot in making language work.First,the speaking situation helps make words more particular.For example,the word “dog” can describe a dog that a speaker saw in a dream.It can also be used to discuss a neighbors dog.No language has a separate word for the ide
36、a “dog that I saw yesterday” and another word for the idea “dog that I saw in a dream”.This is because the speaking situation makes it clear what speakers mean when they use words.So,when you have a conversation with your neighbor,the knowledge that you have a dog tells your neighbor what the word “
37、dog” probably means in that situation.The speaking situation also helps make language clearer.For example,the word “bank” has two possible meanings.It can mean “a place where people keep money”,but it can also mean “the side of a river”.So the sentence “I went to the bank” is not clear.It could mean
38、 I went to the side of the river or it could mean I went to the place where my money is kept.However,if the speaker is talking about fishing or going to the mountains,others probably know that “bank” means “the side of a river”.The things that speakers say may not always be clear.Sometimes the words
39、 are not very particular,but the speaking situation can provide the meaning.Other times words may have many meanings.Then the speaking situation limits the right meaning.This extra knowledge from the situation is very important to understand language.25.The passage is mainly about .A.the best time a
40、nd place to talk to othersB.how the speaking situation helps language workC.what to say in different situationsD.how our language works答案B解析主旨大意题。本文在第一段的最后点出主题:“However,it turns out that the speaking situation helps a lot in making language work.”下文介绍了语境对于语言的作用。故选B项。26.According to the passage,we ca
41、n safely say that .A.the speaking situation does not affect the meaning of wordsB.speaking is not very natural for most peopleC.the speaking situation is not importantD.people often do not consider how talking works答案D解析推理判断题。根据文中的“We do not usually think about how our language works.Talking is such
42、 a natural,everyday activity that we do not often stop to consider how it actually works.”可知,我们不常考虑语言是怎样起作用的。27.By using the example of the word “dog”,the writer wants to show that .A.a word may need to be explained in a conversationB.a word may have different meaningsC.the speaking situation helps
43、people understand the particular meaning of a wordD.the meaning of words is not particular答案C解析推理判断题。根据第二段对于“dog”这个词语境中的使用情况的介绍可知,作者想表达的是语境帮助人们更好地理解单词。28.According to the passage,we can know the meaning of the word “bank” by referring to .A.the time and the place where the conversation happensB.the
44、occupation of the person who uses the wordC.earlier or later parts of the conversationD.a reliable dictionary答案C解析推理判断题。根据第三段对于bank这个词作“银行”和“河岸”两个意思在不同语境中的使用和理解,说明我们是通过谈话的前半部分或者后半部分来理解这些意思的。CFive years ago,when I taught art at a school in Seattle,I used Tinkertoys as a test at the beginning of a ter
45、m to find out something about my students.I put a small set of Tinkertoys in front of each student,and said:“Make something out of the Tinkertoys.You have 45 minutes today-and 45 minutes each day for the rest of the week.”A few students hesitated to start.They waited to see what the rest of the clas
46、s would do.Several others checked the instructions and made something according to one of the model plans provided.Another group built something out of their own imaginations.Once I had a boy who worked experimentally with Tinkertoys in his free time.His constructions filled a shelf in the art class
47、room and a good part of his bedroom at home.I was delighted at the presence of such a student.Here was an exceptionally creative mind at work.His presence meant that I had an unexpected teaching assistant in class whose creativity would infect(感染) other students.Encouraging this kind of thinking has
48、 a downside.I ran the risk of losing those students who had a different style of thinking.Without fail one would declare,“But Im just not creative.”“Do you dream at night when youre asleep?”“Oh,sure.”“So tell me one of your most interesting dreams.”The student would tell something wildly imaginative
49、.Flying in the sky or in a time machine or growing three heads.“Thats pretty creative.Who does that for you?”“Nobody.I do it.”“Really-at night,when youre asleep?”“Sure.”“Try doing it in the daytime,in class,okay?”29.The teacher used Tinkertoys in class in order to .A.know more about the studentsB.ma
50、ke the lessons more excitingC.raise the students interest in artD.teach the students about toy design答案A解析细节理解题。根据文章第一段第一句“.I used Tinkertoys as a test at the beginning of a term to find out something about my students.”可知,这位老师最初给学生布置这个任务目的是了解这些学生。故选A项。30.What do we know about the boy mentioned in P
51、aragraph 3?A.He liked to help his teacher.B.He preferred to study alone.C.He was active in class.D.He was imaginative.答案D解析推理判断题。根据文章第三段可以得知,这个男孩组装好的玩具堆满了美术教室的一个架子,家里的卧室也被占了相当大的地方。“我”为能有这样一位有创造力的学生而倍感欣慰。他的存在意味着“我”的课堂上有了一位意想不到的教学助手,他的创造力会感染其他学生,让他们也参与进来。由此可以看出这个男孩是有创造力、有想象力的。故选择D项。31.What does the un
52、derlined word “downside” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A.Mistake.B.Drawback.C.Difficulty.D.Burden.答案B解析词义猜测题。根据文章第四段可知,鼓励孩子有这种想象力也会有不利的一面。要冒一定的风险,可能会失去那些有不同思维方式的学生。必定有人会说“我就是没有创造力。”因此可以看出此段重在介绍上述这种做法存在的弊端。因此B项正确。32.Why did the teacher ask the students to talk about their dreams?A.To help them to see
53、their creativity.B.To find out about their sleeping habits.C.To help them to improve their memory.D.To find out about their ways of thinking.答案A解析推理判断题。文章第四段最后一句“But Im just not creative.”引出下文师生间的对话,根据文章最后一句“Try doing it in the daytime,in class,okay?”可以看出,老师以孩子晚上做的梦引出白天课堂上要勇于尝试,大胆想象。因此A项正确。DThe mean
54、ing of silence varies among cultural groups.Silences may be thoughtful,or they may be empty when a person has nothing to say.A silence in a conversation may also show stubbornness,uneasiness,or worry.Silence may be viewed by some cultural groups as extremely uncomfortable;therefore attempts may be m
55、ade to fill every gap (间隙) with conversation.Persons in other cultural groups value silence and view it as necessary for understanding a persons needs.Many Native Americans value silence and feel it is a basic part of communicating among people,just as some traditional Chinese and Thai persons do.Th
56、erefore,when a person from one of these cultures is speaking and suddenly stops,what may be implied (暗示) is that the person wants the listener to consider what has been said before continuing.In these cultures,silence is a call for reflection.Other cultures may use silence in other ways,particularly
57、 when dealing with conflicts among people or in relationships of people with different amounts of power.For example,Russian,French,and Spanish persons may use silence to show agreement between parties about the topic under discussion.However,Mexicans may use silence when instructions are given by a
58、person in authority rather than be rude to that person by arguing with him or her.In still another use,persons in Asian cultures may view silence as a sign of respect,particularly to an elder or a person in authority.Nurses and other care-givers need to be aware of the possible meanings of silence w
59、hen they come across the personal anxiety their patients may be experiencing.Nurses should recognize their own personal and cultural construction of silence so that a patients silence is not interrupted too early or allowed to go on unnecessarily.A nurse who understands the healing (治愈) value of sil
60、ence can use this understanding to assist in the care of patients from their own and from other cultures.33.What does the author say about silence in conversations?A.It implies anger.B.It promotes friendship.C.It is culture-specific.D.It is content-based.答案C解析推理判断题。根据第一段最后两句内容可推断出,在谈话过程中的沉默通常与文化密切相关
61、,具有文化特异性。34.Which of the following people might regard silence as a call for careful thought?A.The Chinese.B.The French.C.The Mexicans.D.The Russians.答案A解析细节理解题。根据第二段内容可知,中国人与很多美国人一样,认为沉默是交流过程中的基本构成部分,谈话中出现沉默通常暗示听者需要仔细考虑。35.What does the author advise nurses to do about silence?A.Let it continue as
62、the patient pleases.B.Break it while treating patients.C.Evaluate its harm to patients.D.Make use of its healing effects.答案D解析细节理解题。根据最后一段最后一句内容可知,作者建议护士们充分利用沉默的治愈价值来帮助护理病人。第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。A Few Tips for Self-AcceptanceWe all want it.to accept and l
