Ⅱ. 六选五
根据短文内容，从A-F选项中选出能概括每段主题的最佳选项，选项中有一项是多余项。
A world record is every athlete's dream, but the hard-won records of a few years ago are mostly just today's qualifying times. Roger Bannister's famous four-minute mile of 1956 has been beaten by nearly 15 seconds, while almost an hour and twenty minutes has been taken off the women's marathon since 1953. ‘Faster, higher, stronger’，is the Olympic motto, and today's competitors continue to push back the boundaries of what the body can achieve. But one wonders if this can continue.
2．________
The last forty years have seen many important technological advances. For example, since the introduction of strong flexible, fiberglass poles, over a meter has been added to the pole vault record. There have also been important developments in the design of the running shoe. And while a shoe won't actually make someone run faster, modern shoes do mean many more miles of comfortable, injury-free training.
3．________
Pushing back the limits now depends more on science, technology and medicine than
anything else. Athletic technique, training programmes and diets are all being studied to find ways of taking a few more seconds off or adding a few more centimetres to that elusive world record. It seems that natural ability and hard work are no longer enough.
4．________
The research to find more efficient ways of moving goes on. Analysis of an athlete's style is particularly useful for events like jumping and throwing. Studies show that long jumpers need to concentrate not on the speed of approach, as once thought, but on the angle their bodies make with the ground as they take off. However, the rules governing each sport limit advances achieved by new styles. For instance only one-footed takeoffs are allowed in the high jump.
5．________
In the future, it should be possible to develop a more individual approach to training programmes. Athletes will keep detailed diaries and collect data to help predict the point when training becomes overtraining, the cause of many injuries. If athletes feed all their information into a database, it may then be possible to predict patterns and to advise them individually when they should cut.
答案：1－5 FECBD
Ⅲ.任务型读写
阅读下列短文，根据所读内容在表格中的空白处填入恰当的单词。(注意：每个空格只填一个单词)
Humans are social beings. We enjoy being understood and accepted. Unfortunately, Western culture values individual achievement more than personal relationships. We're better at finding career success than at connecting with other people. As a result, our relationships often suffer. Here are tips for better relationships with everyone.
Everyone wants to share the newest story, the great idea they have and their thoughts and advice. When talking to someone, hear him/her out without judgment or interruption. Focus on what's being said and do your best to understand.
All relationships require trust. Having no trust means worrying about what others are doing, thinking and saying when you're not around. It means monitoring and controlling someone instead of enjoying them.
You probably feel let down at the time when you fail to tell others what you want and then blame them for not reading your mind. So when you want something—or want to share something—be honest about it. Expressing your desires might feel uncomfortable, but it gives the other person a fighting chance to give you what you really want.
We're always looking to gain something from other people: positive emotions, knowledge, gifts. This is fine: humans are selfish by nature. The problem is, you can't just take and take in relationships. If you don't give back something of equal or greater value, there's no reason for other people to stay around you. In today's world, it's always about “me, me, me.” This is why our relationships with friends, family are weak. You can't connect with other people if you're thinking
about yourself all the time.
The best way to build better relationships with everyone is through positive actions.

文章大意：本文是一篇对话。一位母亲在超市和朋友说话时孩子丢了。她去超市服务中心之类的地方去寻求帮助。工作人员让她说明孩子的身高、年龄、长相等特征以便帮助寻找。
1．B考查的是上下文的语境理解能力。从空前面You look worried.(你显得忧心忡忡的。)得知B项(你怎么啦？)正确。
2．E考查的是上下文的语境理解能力。从空前面看问题是：儿子丢了，到处都找不到，不知道该怎么办。得知接下来应该是A.安慰，B.不要担心。后面还主动提出帮助。故选E。
3．C考查的是上下文的语境理解能力。从空后的答语：He's six years old.判断问年龄，故选C。
4．F考查的是上下文的语境理解能力。空后的He is thin and tall with big eyes.在描述长相身材特征，所以前面应该问孩子长什么样子。所以选F。
5．G考查的是上下文的语境理解能力及主题句的概括能力。空后说的是电话号码，由此判断此处需要的句意是：你的电话号码是多少。所以选G。
