B.Toattractreaders.C.Tocallforactions. D.Tointroduceatopic.答案A[写作意图题。通读第二段可知，这些数字是为了说明很多人通过购物来应付压力。]2.Whichofthefollowingmayhelpdealwithstressshopping?A.Stimulatingdesires. B.Recordingspending.C.Turningtomedicines. D.Comparingwithothers.答案B[细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Whetheryou’repurchasing...brightnesswhileshopping”可知，无论你是在买礼物还是买食品杂货，把你需要的东西写下来都会让你在购物时头脑清醒。据此可知，可以用记录支出的方法帮助应付压力购物。]3.Whatistheauthor’sattitudetostressshopping?A.Unclear. B.Doubtful.C.Objective. D.Negative.答案D[观点态度题。根据第三段中的“However，stressshopping...stresstolife”可知，对许多人来说，压力购物可能会发展成一种消耗金钱、引起冲突的冲动，因此给生活增加了巨大的压力。根据第四段中的“Despitethein－timejoy...stressordepression”可知，尽管购物能带来及时的快乐，但压力购物从来没有被证明是一种长期治愈压力或抑郁的方法。据此可推知，作者对于压力购物的态度是否定的。]4.Whatisasuitabletitleforthetext?A.Doesshoppingbenefitus?B.Morestressed,womenormen?C.Shouldwecomparewithothers?D.Canstressshoppingreducestress?答案D[标题归纳题。通读全文，尤其是第一段和第四段中的“Despitethein－time...stressordepression”可知，密歇根大学的一项研究表明，通过购物来减压能给人40倍的控制感，购物的人比只看东西(不买)的人少三倍的悲伤。尽管购物能带来及时的快乐，但压力购物从来没有被证明是一种长期治愈压力或抑郁的方法。据此可知，本文主要讨论压力购物是否能减轻压力。]Weallknowthatunpleasantfeelingwhenwe’retalkingaboutsomethinginterestingandhalfwaythroughoursentencewe’reinterrupted.Butwasthatreallyaninterruption?Theanswerdependsonwhomyouask，accordingtonewresearchledbyKatherineHiltonfromStanfordUniversity.Usingasetofcontrolledaudioclips(录音片段)，Hiltonsurveyed5，000AmericanEnglishspeakerstobetterunderstandwhataffectspeople’sperceptionsofinterruptions.Shehadparticipantslistentoaudioclipsandthenanswerquestionsaboutwhetherthespeakersseemedtobefriendlyandengaged,listeningtooneanother,ortryingtointerrupt.HiltonfoundthatAmericanEnglishspeakershavedifferentconversationalstyles.Sheidentifiedtwodistinctgroups:highandlowintensityspeakers.Highintensityspeakersaregenerallyuncomfortablewithmomentsofsilenceinconversationandconsidertalkingatthesametimeasignofengagement.Lowintensityspeakersfinditrudetotalkatthesametimeandpreferpeopletospeakoneafteranotherinconversation.Thedifferencesinconversationalstylesbecameevidentwhenparticipantslistenedtoaudioclipsinwhichtwopeoplespokeatthesametimebutwereagreeingwitheachotherandstayedontopic,Hiltonsaid.Thehighintensitygroupreportedthatconversationswherepeoplespokeatthesametimewhenexpressingagreementwerenotinterruptivebutengagedandfriendlierthantheconversationswithmomentsofsilenceinbetweenspeakingturns.Incontrast,thelowintensitygroupperceivedanyamountofsimultaneous(同时的)chatasarudeinterruption,regardlessofwhatthespeakersweresaying.“Peoplecareaboutbeinginterrupted,andthosesmallinterruptionscanhaveamassiveeffectontheoverallcommunication，”Hiltonsaid.“Breakingapartwhataninterruptionmeansisessentialifwewanttounderstandhowhumansinteractwitheachother.”【语篇解读】本文是说明文。为了更好地了解是什么影响了人们对被打断的看法，研究人员进行了实验，最后得出结论：谈话被打断是否是一种干扰取决于提问的对象。5.WhatdoesHilton’sresearchfocuson?A.Whatinterruptionsmeantopeople.B.Whetherinterruptionsaregoodornot.C.Howtoavoidgettinginterrupted.D.Whyspeakersinterrupteachother.答案A[推理判断题。根据第二段中“Usingasetof...perceptionsofinterruptions”和第四段中的“Thehighintensitygroup...thespeakersweresaying”可知，Hilton的研究焦点在于打断对人们来讲意味着什么。同时，高强度组和低强度组对打断的看法也说明了这一点。]6.Whatdoparticipantsofthestudyneedtodo?A.Recordanaudioclip.B.Answersomequestions.C.Listentooneanother.D.Haveachatwithafriend.答案B[细节理解题。根据第二段中“Shehadparticipantslistentoaudioclipsandthenanswerquestions...tryingtointerrupt”可知，她让参与者听录音片段，然后回答一些问题。]7.Whatdolowintensityspeakersthinkofsimultaneouschat?A.It’simportant. B.It’sinteresting.C.It’sinefficient. D.It’simpolite.答案D[细节理解题。根据第四段中“thelowintensitygroupperceived...weresaying”可知，低强度说话者觉得同时说话很粗鲁，不管说话者说的内容是什么。]8.WhatcanwelearnfromHilton’sresearch?A.Humaninteractioniscomplex.B.Communicationisthebasisoflife.C.Interruptionspromotethinking.D.Languagebarrierswillalwaysexist.答案A[推理判断题。根据文章最后一段的内容可知，人们很在意被打断，而那些小小的打断会对整个交流产生巨大的影响，如果想要了解人们如何与其他人交流，分解打断的含义是必不可少的。由此可见，人类的交流是复杂的。]Ⅱ.七选五Forpeoplewhoareplanningatrip,avisittoamuseummightnotbethefirstthingtheythinkof.Afterall,thereareplentyofwaystoappreciatetheworld’scivilization,gainexcitingexperiencesandspendqualitytimewithfamilyandfriends.__1__Museumsarewherepeoplelearnsomethingnew,ateveryage!Areyouinterestedinsomethingspecific?__2__There,youwillfindyourselfdrawninandinspired!Museumsareafantasticplacetolearnaboutaregion’shistory,scientificachievements,majorculturalevents,andofcourse,dinosaurs.Theyalsodesignexhibitionsrelatedtovisualarts,industrialinnovationsandanythingthatinspiresanindividualtolearnaboutthepastandcreatenewpathstothefuture.__3__Theywillsurelybeanexcitingpartoftheeducationalexperiencewiththemainpurposetoexposechildrentoknowledgeofvariousfieldsandexpandtheirhorizons.Toachievethat,museumsareworkingtocreatemeaningfulandengagingactivities,interactiveandknowledge－based.Museumssupporttourism.Theyaretourismpromotersinsmalltownsandlargecities.Museumsaren’taburdenontaxrevenue(税收)oraseparateconcernfromothercityprojects.__4__Statisticsshowthatmuseumssupportmorethan726,000jobsinAmerica.Museumsshapecommunities.Theyhaveactivitiesandexhibitionsthroughwhichvisitorscanlearnaboutlocalhistory.Museumsareplaceswhereasharedheritageiscelebratedandacollectiveidentityisformed.Theyprovideaninterestingpublicspacewherepeoplemeetandtalktoeachother.__5__A.Museumsbringoutthebestqualitiesinchildren.B.Museumsoftendeliverkids－centeredexhibitions.C.Instead,theygeneratefundingandfuelemployment.D.Then,visitalocalmuseumtolearnaboutthatsubject.E.Evenshoppingatthegiftshopthereisanopportunityforconnections.F.Onthecontrarytheyconsumeasmallpercentageofcityfundsannually.G.Thefact,however,isthatmuseumsoffermagicalbenefitsinmanyways.【语篇解读】本文是说明文。文章介绍了参观博物馆的好处。1.G[空前讲到了对于那些计划去旅行的人来说参观博物馆可能不是首选，并说明了原因，然而下文讲的却都是参观博物馆的好处，因此，空处应该会形成转折，讲述博物馆好处众多，值得一去，故G项符合语境。]2.D[空前一句提出了问题“你对什么特定的事物感兴趣吗？”，因此，空处应该会回答问题，提供解决方案。D项“那么，你可以参观当地的博物馆来了解那个事物”符合语境，且句中的“thatsubject”呼应上一句中的“somethingspecific”，故D项符合语境。]3.B[本空为段落主旨句。根据文章结构和其他段段首句可以看出，正确选项应为A或者B。根据本段中的“withthemainpurposetoexposechildrentoknowledgeofvariousfieldsandexpandtheirhorizons”可知，本段讲到的应该是博物馆会举办以儿童为中心的活动，而不是激发出孩子的良好素质，故B项适合作本段的主旨句。]4.C[根据空前的“Museumsaren’taburdenontaxrevenue(税收)”可知，博物馆不是税收的负担，空处应该会具体讲到博物馆对于当地经济的正面效果，C项“相反，它们可以创造收入并促进就业”符合语境，且能引出下文中的“supportmorethan726，000jobs”，故C项符合语境。]5.E[空处承接上一句，上一句讲到了“它们提供了一个有趣的公共空间，人们在这里见面和互相交谈”，因此，空处应该会继续讲到人们在博物馆可以交流的话题，E项“甚至是在礼品店购物，也有建立联系的机会”承接上文，符合语境。]Ⅲ.语法填空Mininghasseenupsanddownsbuttraditionalcondiments(调味料)continuetoappeal.AnymentionofZigong,SichuanProvince,remindspeople1.____________itssaltproductionandthisis2.____________importantsourceofrevenue(财政收入).Thecity,about200kilometersfromChengdu,hasahistoryofminingsalt3.____________(stretch)back2，000years.ThesaltwassoldalloverSichuanandotherprovinces,andwasconsumedbyone－tenthofChina’spopulation.Thesaltisfromwells.Oneofthem，theShenhaiwell,wasopenedin1835,andisstillin4.____________(operate).Withadepthof1，001.42meters,itisamongtheworld’sdeepestofitskindand5.____________(current)producesaround2，000kilogramsofsaltperday.Visitorstothewellcanbuypacksofiodine－freesalt6.____________(mine)justthreedaysearlier.But,duringSpringFestival,7.____________endswiththeLanternFestivalonthe15thdayofthefirstlunarmonth—fallingonSundaythisyear—morepeoplefromaroundthecountryflocktoZigong8.____________(view)itsworld－famouslanterns.ViewinglanternsbecameaSpringFestivalcustominZigongduringtheTangDynasty.Sincethen,the9._____________(city)lanternshowhasbeenheldinmorethan70countriesandregionsaroundtheworld,becomingacallingcardofbothZigongandChina.Thepopularshow10.____________(start)fromtheeconomicdilemmainthe1980s,whenZigong’seconomyover－relyingonasingleproductbecameaproblem.【语篇解读】本文是说明文，主要讲述了四川省自贡市的井盐和那里的灯笼展的情况。1.of[考查介词。remindsbofsth“提醒某人某事，让某人想到某事”，是固定用法。句意：一提到四川自贡，人们就会想起它的盐生产，这是重要的财政收入来源。]2.an[考查冠词。根据空后的“形容词＋名词单数”可知，空处应用冠词；结合句意可知，此处表泛指，且important的发音以元音音素开头。所以空处填an。]3.stretching[考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，本句的谓语动词是has，空处在句中作非谓语，与其逻辑主语ahistoryofminingsalt之间是主谓关系，所以空处填stretching。stretchback“回溯到”。]4.operation[考查词性转换。inoperation“运转着”，是固定表达。句意：其中一口盐井叫燊海井，它凿成于1835年，至今仍在运转。]5.currently[考查词性转换。空处修饰后面的动词produces，应用副词currently。]6.mined[考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，本句的谓语动词是canbuy，空处在句中作非谓语。mine在此作动词，意为“开矿，采矿”，与其逻辑主语iodine－freesalt之间是动宾关系，所以空处填mined。]7.which[考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知，空处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词为表示物的名词SpringFestival，关系词在从句中作主语，所以空处填which。]8.toview[考查非谓语动词。结合句意可知，空处＋后面的名词短语构成非谓语动词短语作目的状语，所以空处填不定式toview。句意：但是，今年的春节是星期天，在春节期间，更多的人涌向自贡去观看世界著名的灯笼。春节一般以农历正月十五的元宵节为结束标志。]9.city’s[考查名词的格。分析句子结构可知，空处修饰空后的名词短语lanternshow，此处为所属关系，所以填city’s。]10.started[考查时态。分析句子结构可知，空处作主句的谓语。结合时间状语inthe1980s可知，时态用一般过去时；主语Thepopularshow与start之间是主动关系，所以空处填started。]A篇Para.1：effe

B.Setup.C.Consistwith.
