AMy Favourite BooksJo Usmar is a writer for Cosmopolitan and co-author of the This Book Will series(系列) of lifestyle books. Here she picks her top reads.MatildaRoald DahlI once wrote a paper on the influence of fairy tales on Roald Dahl’s writing and it gave me a new appreciation for his strange and delightful words. Matilda’s battles with her cruel parents and the bossy headmistress, Miss Trunchbull, are equally funny and frightening, but they’re also aspirational.After DarkHaruki MurakamiIt’s about two sisters—Eri, a model who either won’t or can’t stop sleeping, and Mari, a young student. In trying to connect to her sister, Mari starts changing her life and discovers a world of diverse “night people〞 who are hiding secrets. Gone GirlGillian FynnThere was a bit of me that didn’t want to love this when everyone else on the planet did, but the horror story is brilliant. There’s tension and anxiety from the beginning as Nick and Amy battle for your trust. It’s a real whodunit and the frustration when you realise what’s going on is horribly enjoyable.The StandStephen KingThis is an excellent fantasy novel from one of the best storytellers around. After a serious flu outbreak wipes out 99.4% of the world’s population, a battle unfolds between good and evil among those left. Randall Flagg is one of the scariest characters ever.1. Wh o does “I〞 refer to in the text?A. Stephen King.B. Gillian Flynn.C. Jo Usmar.D. Roald Dahl.2. Which of the following tells about Mari and Eri?A. Cosmopolitan.B. Matilda.C. After Dark.D. The Stand.3. What kind of book is G one Girl?A. A folk tale.B. A biography.C. A love story.D. A horror story.【答案】1. C 2. C 3. D【解析】这是一篇应用文。

However, after we had been stuck in traffic for more than four hours, one of my sisters proposed going back to the city as a last attempt to save whatever remained of the day. A quick online search revealed other must-visit spots around Shillong. Most were familiar, but one caught our attention — Nartiang with its mysterious monoliths(独石碑). The photo showed tall stones piled together in a strange formation, appealing to us to explore further despite the lack of details provided.That is how I found myself standing in the shadow of the huge monoliths of Nartiang, which is home to the thickest and largest collection in the region. Curious to uncover their history, I approached Мaryo Symblai, a village elder I met later that day, who told me the story of the monoliths that has been orally passed down over generations. She said, “Back in the day, Nartiang didn’t have a bazaar(集市) and the nearest one was at Raliang. On one such bazaar, a giant named Mar Phalyngki was caught in heavy rain on his way back. He requested to borrow an umbrella from the Raliang chief’s youngest daughter, but she wanted to test his legendary strength instead. ‘Why don’t you go lift that huge stone in the bazaar and use it as an umbrella?’ she said dismissively. Emboldened by her challenge, he just did that, but before reaching Nartiang, he placed it in a forest when the rain had stopped.”“There is a certain overlap of ancient story and memory in the case of the Nartiang monoliths. The locals’ account of how the place came to be is based on ancient stories or folk customs. But they also remember it because it served their ancestors as a weekly marketplace, a memorial, and a place for political gatherings. That is how oral history works. It mixes fact and fiction into collective memory”, said Dr Reeju Ray, a local writer.Today, even though the traditional customs and more confirmed historical accounts offer some insight into the site, the mystery of the stone giants lasts.24. Why did the author and his family come to visit the monoliths of Nartiang?A. It was in their original trip plan.B. They had to choose it as an alternative.C. It was the only remaining place to visit.D. An elder villager gave them the suggestion.25. Which does the underlined word “Emboldened” in paragraph 2 mean?A. Threatened.B. Moved.C. Stimulated.D.Frightened.26. Why are Dr. Reeju Ray’s words mentioned?A. To inform what the monoliths served as.B. To illustrate how the mysterious story came into being.C. To introduce the feature of Nartiang monoliths.D. To deny the overlap of ancient story and memory.27. What is the best title for the text?A. A Trip to the MonolithsB. The Mystery of ShillongC. The Formation of the MonolithsD. A Disappointing Travel Experience CIf you find yourself embracing the thrilling chaos of completing tasks at the last minute, congratulations — You are not alone! According to a survey, 20% of U.S. adults procrastinate(拖延) at home, at work, in relationships, and more. Another survey found that 88% of people procrastinate at least one hour a day.Sounds alarming? As it turns out, if you’re feeling stressed, you may be more likely to procrastinate. Essentially, our brains are structured to approach tasks we find enjoyable and avoid those we are afraid of. Our limbic brain(边缘大脑), the emotional part of our brain, is screaming, “Let’s do anything but that stressful thing!” while our prefrontal cortex(前额叶皮层) is the CEO of our brain, setting the goals, making a plan, and ensuring we stay on track. CEO vs. Drams Queen Brain — who will win? Actually, there do exist chances when our limbic brain overrides that prefrontal cortex message.Then there’s the burst of energy we often get when we’re up against a deadline, which leads to a reward pathway within our brains and sets the foundation for procrastination as a habit. When you race to the end and get to the goal finally, your previous stress is gone and you almost get in that pattern of “See, I work better under pressure!”So, how to beat procrastination? Well, you need to retrain your brain to cope with the stress. One trick is to take periodic breaks (reward) to refocus your attention on the task. Ever heard of the Promodoro Technique? It’s about working for 25 minutes and resting for 5. During those breaks, forget about brain-burning activities — try relaxing techniques such as meditation or yoga instead. Another trick is to “eat the frog”, or tackle the most difficult and stressful task of the day and do itfirst thing in the morning, as was once said by Mark Twain.28. Why are the two surveys mentioned in the first paragraph?A. To warn the readers.B. To clarify a concept.C. To present a phenomenon.D. To make a comparison.29. Which of the following statements will the author most probably agree with?A. We are born to prefer what we like and avoid what we fear.B. The limbic brain is under the control of the prefrontal cortex.C. We are more likely to burst when getting close to the deadline.D. Failing to complete a task can lead to habitual procrastination.30. What does the author suggest readers do to stop procrastination?A. Force the brain to focus.B. Take a break regularly.C. Solve a tricky math problem.D. Eat something refreshing first.31. What is the tone of this text?A. Humorous.B. Ironic.C. Serious.D. Unclear. DTo Swedes, the scent of surströmming(鲱鱼罐头) is pleasant, but to most others, it’s sickening. This contrast highlights the role of culture in shaping our perceptions of scent. However, researchers now suggest that biology might play a more significant role than previously thought.Artin Arshamian, a neuroscientist at the Karolinska Institute in Sweden, and Asifa Majid, a psychologist at the University of Oxford, noticed from their own previous work that people from different cultures described smells differently. They also knew from past experiments by other researchers that culture was important in determining which sorts of faces people found beautiful. Thus, they expected to see a similar phenomenon with smells.The researchers conducted a study involving nine diverse groups of people, including hunter-gatherers in Mexico, farmers in Ecuador, and residents of cities like Mexico City and Bangkok. They were presented with ten smells, ranging from isovaleric acid to vanilla extract, and asked to rate them according to pleasantness. The results showed high consistency across cultures, with isovaleric acid universally disliked and vanilla extract mostly enjoyed.Interestingly, the chemical composition of the smells accounted for 41% of the reactions, while cultural factors only explained 6%. It is quite different in the case of visual perception of faces,where a person’s culture makes up 50% of the explanation for which faces they find beautiful. Meanwhile, the researchers identified an “eye of the beholder” effect in our perceptions of scent. This phenomenon, though less obvious than in visual perception, represents the personal preferences that are shaped by influences outside individual culture, accounting for 54% ofthe differences in which smells people liked.This study suggests that our sense of smell may be more influenced by biological factors than cultural ones. It challenges the idea that culture alone determines what we find pleasant or unpleasant and opens up new ways of exploring the biological basis of our senses.32. What is the initial purpose of the research?A. To explore how culture affects our sense of smell.B. To prove all people enjoy the scent of surströmming.C. To examine geography plays a role in scent perception.D. To confirm biology has an influence on scent perception.33. How did the researchers conduct the research?A. By making questionnaire surveys.B. By recording participants’ reactions.C. By comparing cultural backgrounds.D. By referring to previous study reports.34. The underlined “eye of the beholder” effect mentioned in the research refers to _____________.A. the standard of beauty across different culturesB. the role of culture in shaping our sense of smellC. the impact of personal preferences on scent perceptionD. the influence of outside factors on our visual preference35. What can be inferred from the participants’ reactions to isovaleric acid?A. They were familiar with isovaleric acid beforehand.B. They hated isovaleric acid all due to its unpleasant smell.C. Their reactions to the scent of isovaleric acid varied among cultures.D. Their dislike for isovaleric acid was based more on biological factors.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。

Michael was supposed to be here with me, I thought.Two months ago, my husband, Michael, died in a car accident. I tried desperately to keep a brave face for our two young boys but his death left much pain in my heart. Michael had promised to buy our younger child a new bicycle for his eighth birthday. Now, here I was , doing it alone. It was just another reminder of all the other things I’d experience by myself. Birthdays, holidays, even our 18th wedding anniversary which was just in three weeks time. How would I get through those days without Michael?Suddenly, a bright red bike caught my eye. It was perfect for my son. On my way to the register（登记处）I found another red bike—an adult one. My bicycle was unsafe for keeping up with two active boys, so I treated myself.“Don’t forget to buy chains and locks.”The salesman said. I found easily a set of chain and lock matching the bike I had just bought for my little son, but I looked all around the store and couldn’t find a set for mine.“Lord, Michael was so good at this thing. Help me.”I prayed. Just then, on the bottom shelf, I found a set of red lock and chain, a perfect match.On the day of our wedding anniversary I’d never felt more lonely. I could’ve stayed in bed all day. But Michael wouldn’t have wanted that, Ithought. I couldn’t let children feel upset.“Kids, let’s go for a bike ride!”I brought out our three bicycles from the garage. I casually（无意地）picked up a pen with which I wrote down the combination:38,18,38, which I didn’t know why. But those numbers I knew well. Michael and I would both have been 38 years old on our 18th anniversary this year.41.

They use robotic systems to milk their cows. These systems are designed to reduce labor and increase milk production.Cows are trained to follow a series of paths that lead to the milking stations. Only one cow at a time can enter the station. Once inside, the cow is rewarded with food. As the cow eats , a robotic arm cleans and connects the animal to the milking machine. A few minutes later, the milking is completed. The gate is lifted. The cow leaves and the next cow enters. The robotic systems are designed to operate twenty-four hours a day. Cows are milked on average about three times a day. Some are milked four to six times a day. The cows wear collars(颈圈) around their necks that identify them to the system . A computer keeps records on their eating and milking. A cow is released from the station if the computer decides it should not be milked. The system also measures the temperature and color of the freshly produced milk. Milk is thrown away if it does not pass the tests. Cows need two to four weeks to learn to use the robotic milking systems. Once trained, the cows no longer require human assistance, unless something goes wrong.Professor Plaut heads the Department of Animal Science at Michigan State University. She believes the systems will attract especially the next generation of farmers who are more interested in technology and less interested in working all the time on the farm. Still, she says the price of robotic milking systems will continue to limit their use. Doug Suhr has more than one hundred milking cows on his farm. Last year it became the fourth farm in southeast Minnesota to get a robotic milking system. A recent story in a local agricultural newspaper said the first robot cost $175,000 and the second cost $150,000. Doug says the increase in milk production reaches a high of more than 6 kg percow per day.49. What’s the second paragraph mainly about?A. How robotic milking systems work.B. The importance of robotic milking systems.C. How robotic milking systems were developed.D. The advantages of robotic milking systems.50. Under robotic milking systems, decide(s) whether a cow is suitable to be milked.A. the robotic armsB. the dairy farmersC. the cows themselvesD. a computer51. When is human assistance needed during the milking?A. When the cows enter the milking station every morning.B. When a robotic arm connects a cow to the milking machine.C. When the cows are trained to use the robotic milking system in the first two to four weeks.D. When the temperature and color of the freshly produced milk are measured.52. It can be inferred from the passage that .A. the price of robotic milking systems will greatly decreaseB. robotic milking systems are still too expensive to be popularC. most farmers are too old to use robotic milking systems.D. robotic milking systems don’t need to work at nihgt.DPeople fell in love with Elizabeth Taylor in 1944, when she starred in National Velvet-the story of Velvet Brown, a young girl who wins firstplace in a famous horse race. At first, the producers of the movie told Taylor that she was too small to play the part of Velvet. However, they waited for her for a few months as she exercised and trained-and added three inches to her height in four months! Her acting in National Velvet is still considered the best by a child actress.Elizabeth Taylor was born in London in 1932. Her parents, both Americans, had moved there for business reasons. When World War II started, the Taylor moved to Beverly Hills, California, and there Elizabeth started acting in movies. After her success as a child star, Taylor had no trouble moving into adult（成人）roles and won twice for Best Actress: Butter field 8(1960) and Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?(1996) Taylor’s fame（名声）and popularity gave her a lot of power with the movie industry, so she was able to demand very high pay for her movies. In 1963, she received $ 1 million for her part in Cleopatra-the highest pay received by any star up to that time.Elizabeth Taylor is a legend（传奇人物）of our time. Like Velvet Brown in National V elvet, she has been lucky; she has beauty, fame and wealth. But she is also a bard worked. Taylor seldom acts in movies any more. Instead, she puts her time and efforts into her businesses, and into helping others-several years ago, she founded an organization that has raised more than $40 million for research and education.53. The producers didn’t let Taylor play the part of Velvet at first because they thought she __________. .A. was small in sizeB. was too youngC. did not play well enoughD. did not show muchinterest54.

When people think of the happiest place, most think of Disneyland. But could Denmark truly be the happiest place to live? I would have to say, it does. Try to imagine what you would consider the happiest place for you to live. Most would say their ideal paradise has sunny weather, nice beaches and is tropical. However, Denmark is far from these. Denmark is a very cold country, where it rains a lot. So how can this cold place make you so happy?I was born and raised in Denmark and lived there for 11 years. The Danes are such nice people (usually) and really enjoy life to the fullest. The country itself is beautiful with so many amazing historical buildingsand beautiful farmlands everywhere.The capital Copenhagen is a fun and exciting place to live. You’ll never find a dull moment there. Now Denmark does, however, have very high taxes. They pay between 50 percent and 70 percent of their incomes, but in return they get free health care and free education. Because of the high taxes, people don’t find jobs to be bad jobs. People really take pride in their jobs, whatever they may be.Denmark truly is, in my opinion, the happiest place to live in the world. I’ve lived in several different countries and none of them is better than Denmark. Sure enough, you may enjoy warmer weather, but the atmosphere and scenery of Denmark can’t be beaten.57. Which of the following is NOT the reason why Denmark is the happiest place to live?A. The sunny weather.B. The historical buildings.C. The farmlandsD. Nice people there.58.The Danes pay between 50 percent and 70 percent of their incomes to .A. maintain their governmentB. meet their high living standardsC. help those in needD. enjoy free health care and free education59.

The main purpose of the text is to .A. advise us to go to Denmark for a holidayB. tell us his own experiences in DenmarkC. tell us why Denmark is the happiest place to live in the worldD. tell us the advantages and disadvantages of living in Denmark第二节根据对话内容，从对话后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
