Fergal Keane is a well-known BBC war reporter. His reporting helped his television audiences make sense of the horrors of war, but underneath there were more personal scars attracting him to the frontline.
Fergal had seen violence ever since the early days of his work covering the fighting in Belfast. Having reported wars all over the world, in 1994, he was sent to cover the civil war in Rwanda. But what Fergal saw there shocked him like nothing before, as he told BBC World Service programme, Lives Less Ordinary. “I began to have terrible dreams of Rwanda. And of course, at that stage, it was clear that I was mentally hurt. Did I go to the experts in hospital No, I didn’t.”
Instead, Fergal turned to drinking alcohol and he had another addiction to deal with - the need to keep returning to war. Fergal knew it wasn’t healthy, but he couldn’t stop.
Around the year 2001, it seemed that war was everywhere, and Fergal kept on reporting - in Sudan, Iraq, Afghanistan, and Lebanon. But the nightmares didn’t stop, and his mental health got worse and worse. You might expect Fergal to call it a day at this point, but that’s not how addiction works. He just kept getting pulled back in. He reached a point where he couldn’t carry that anymore, and it’s not dramatic, it’s a slow, steady ruin. Fergal had a nervous breakdown - a period of dangerous mental illness, leaving him unable to face his life. At last, he was admitted into hospital, and this time diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder, PTSD - a mental illness experienced after violent or shocking events.
After his diagnosis of PTSD, he got support and was finally able to stay away from alcohol and war. In his new book, The Madness: A Memoir of War, Fear and PTSD, Fergal discusses his horrible life living with PTSD.
4. What caused Fergal’s illness
A. The fighting he covered in Belfast. B. The violence he saw in Rwanda.
C. The terrible dreams he had in Rwanda. D. The wars he reported all over the world.
5 How did he treat his illness
A. He got drunk and slept well. B. He talked to the experts at once.
C. He told the audiences through BBC. D. He abandoned himself to alcohol and the frontline.
6. What does the underlined phrase in Paragraph 4 possibly mean
A. To call for help. B. To make phone calls one day.
C. To cry all day. D. To put a stop to it.
7. Which can be inferred from Fergal’s experience
A. Overwork can make a person mad. B. Every experience ends in a book.
C. Wars are cruel and damaging. D. Devotion to one’s job is respectable.
C
It’s nearly exam time again. How to prepare well for an exam Suggestions run as long as the history of the exam. Besides those long-accepted traditional methods, many better learning strategies have long been scientifically explored, tested and recommended.
According to the current scientific research, some study methods popular with students aren’t actually very effective. Although highlighting text is one of the top tips, students are easy to get so absorbed in the highlighting that it’s not certain they are learning anything useful. “You need to do more than just highlight information with your favorite highlighters and colours. You need to go back and make flashcards of all the important concepts and test yourself on them.” That’s a point made by John Dunlosky, Professor of Psychology at Kent State University in the US. By repeatedly testing yourself on something over a period of time, say, weeks or months, students strengthen the pathways between neurons - or nerve cells - in the brain. And the more often they do this distributed practice, the easier it becomes to strengthen information.
Some prefer the cramming method - trying and learning lots of information in a short period of time. However, Dunlovsky commented that it doesn’t work on some subjects, such as language learning. It’s far more effective to join a conversation class and practise speaking every week than to practise for hours in front of the mirror the night before the oral exam!
Whatever the method is, making different types of associations with what you’re trying to learn is meant to be effective. Professor Dunlovsky recommends visual associations. Students are encouraged to develop a more vivid mental picture of what they’re reading. That’ll help quite a bit for some kinds of studies - maybe history and language and so on. As for spelling difficult words, students can try putting the first letters of a sentence together, like big elephants cause accidents under small elephants spells “because”.
8. What does the writer mean in the first paragraph
A. Tradition methods are out of date.
B. Long suggestions often work very well.
C. Modern methods are more widely accepted.
D. Advice on preparations for exams has never been stopped.
9. What would Dunlosky possibly agree
A. Repeated test can help remember better.
B. Creating mind map is very effective.
C. Highlighting is important to learn anything useful.
D. Practising before the night of the exam is of great use.
10. How does the writer develop the passage
A. By borrowing words from experts. B. By introducing the ideas of an expert.
C. By giving some typical examples. D. By criticizing some ineffective practice.
11. What would be the best title of the passage
A. Survival Skills in the Exams! B. Preparations The Earlier, the Better!
C. Various Methods Effectiveness Speaks! D. The Expert Guides You to Pass Exams!
D
After a tiring day at the office, you find it hard not to smile when you’re greeted by an exciting and joyful dog. But it’s not just the happy shouting and wriggling (扭动) tail that strike our heartstrings. A new study shows that dogs’eyes filled with tears when reunited with their owners cause effect that brings out our love. The findings appear in Current Biology.
Takefumi Kikusui watched with interest when his dog was feeding her puppies, her face became so cute. Kikusui, a professor of veterinary(兽医) medicine at Azabu University in Japan, realized that his lovely mama dog had tears in her eyes. That possible connection between unbearable cuteness and tears sent him to the lab.
In the test, he and his team first measured the baseline tear volumes when dogs were together with the owner in their house. Then quickly, the owner would leave and stay hidden away from it for five or six hours. When the owner came back, they measured tear volume again. And found that the reunion with the owner raised tear volume. But it only worked with the dog’s owner. If reunited with the familiar caretaker in the dog care center, there was no increase in tears.
The researchers doubted that the tearful reaction was caused by oxytocin, a hormone(荷尔蒙) linked with social bonding. So they applied oxytocin to the dogs’ eyes. And, the dogs grew weepy. But why To find out the reason for this easy-crying behavior, they showed volunteers a couple of dog head pictures. One was a normal dog face. And the other was a teary dog face in which they added man-made tears. The volunteers were more likely to want to hug and care for the one with big, wet puppy-dog eyes.
Dogs turn on the waterworks and their owners roll over. Now, that’s quite a clever trick!
12. What is Current Biology in Paragragh 1 likely to be
A. A science journal. B. A celebrity biography.
C. A science fiction. D. A biology textbook.
13. When did Takefumi have the idea of doing his research
A. When greeted by his dog excitedly.
B. When watching his dog feeding her kids.
C. When staying hidden from his dog for several hours.
D. When he and his dog got reunited in the care center.
14. Which can be the main idea of the passage
A. Never abandon dogs because they’ll cry. B. Dogs play tricks to win the caregivers’ love.
C. Dogs show love for owners with tears in eyes. D. Dogs arrest owners’ love with tearful eyes.
15. What does the writer think of the dogs with teary eyes
A. Lovely. B. Loyal. C. Sad. D. Surprising.

Fergal Keane is a well-known BBC war reporter. His reporting helped his television audiences make sense of the horrors of war, but underneath there were more personal scars attracting him to the frontline.
Fergal had seen violence ever since the early days of his work covering the fighting in Belfast. Having reported wars all over the world, in 1994, he was sent to cover the civil war in Rwanda. But what Fergal saw there shocked him like nothing before, as he told BBC World Service programme, Lives Less Ordinary. “I began to have terrible dreams of Rwanda. And of course, at that stage, it was clear that I was mentally hurt. Did I go to the experts in hospital No, I didn’t.”
Instead, Fergal turned to drinking alcohol and he had another addiction to deal with - the need to keep returning to war. Fergal knew it wasn’t healthy, but he couldn’t stop.
Around the year 2001, it seemed that war was everywhere, and Fergal kept on reporting - in Sudan, Iraq, Afghanistan, and Lebanon. But the nightmares didn’t stop, and his mental health got worse and worse. You might expect Fergal to call it a day at this point, but that’s not how addiction works. He just kept getting pulled back in. He reached a point where he couldn’t carry that anymore, and it’s not dramatic, it’s a slow, steady ruin. Fergal had a nervous breakdown - a period of dangerous mental illness, leaving him unable to face his life. At last, he was admitted into hospital, and this time diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder, PTSD - a mental illness experienced after violent or shocking events.
After his diagnosis of PTSD, he got support and was finally able to stay away from alcohol and war. In his new book, The Madness: A Memoir of War, Fear and PTSD, Fergal discusses his horrible life living with PTSD.
4. What caused Fergal’s illness
A. The fighting he covered in Belfast. B. The violence he saw in Rwanda.
C. The terrible dreams he had in Rwanda. D. The wars he reported all over the world.
5. How did he treat his illness
A. He got drunk and slept well. B. He talked to the experts at once.
C. He told the audiences through BBC. D. He abandoned himself to alcohol and the frontline.
6. What does the underlined phrase in Paragraph 4 possibly mean
A. To call for help. B. To make phone calls one day.
C. To cry all day. D. To put a stop to it.
7. Which can be inferred from Fergal’s experience
A. Overwork can make a person mad. B. Every experience ends in a book.
C. Wars are cruel and damaging. D. Devotion to one’s job is respectable.
【答案】4. C 5. D 6. D 7. C

It’s nearly exam time again. How to prepare well for an exam Suggestions run as long as the history of the exam. Besides those long-accepted traditional methods, many better learning strategies have long been scientifically explored, tested and recommended.
According to the current scientific research, some study methods popular with students aren’t actually very effective. Although highlighting text is one of the top tips, students are easy to get so absorbed in the highlighting that it’s not certain they are learning anything useful. “You need to do more than just highlight information with your favorite highlighters and colours. You need to go back and make flashcards of all the important concepts and test yourself on them.” That’s a point made by John Dunlosky, Professor of Psychology at Kent State University in the US. By repeatedly testing yourself on something over a period of time, say, weeks or months, students strengthen the pathways between neurons - or nerve cells - in the brain. And the more often they do this distributed practice, the easier it becomes to strengthen information.
Some prefer the cramming method - trying and learning lots of information in a short period of time. However, Dunlovsky commented that it doesn’t work on some subjects, such as language learning. It’s far more effective to join a conversation class and practise speaking every week than to practise for hours in front of the mirror the night before the oral exam!
Whatever the method is making different types of associations with what you’re trying to learn is meant to be effective. Professor Dunlovsky recommends visual associations. Students are encouraged to develop a more vivid mental picture of what they’re reading. That’ll help quite a bit for some kinds of studies - maybe history and language and so on. As for spelling difficult words, students can try putting the first letters of a sentence together, like big elephants cause accidents under small elephants spells “because”.
8. What does the writer mean in the first paragraph
A. Tradition methods are out of date.
B. Long suggestions often work very well.
C. Modern methods are more widely accepted.
D. Advice on preparations for exams has never been stopped.
9. What would Dunlosky possibly agree
A. Repeated test can help remember better.
B. Creating mind map is very effective.
C. Highlighting is important to learn anything useful.
D. Practising before the night of the exam is of great use.
10. How does the writer develop the passage
A. By borrowing words from experts. B. By introducing the ideas of an expert.
C. By giving some typical examples. D. By criticizing some ineffective practice.
11. What would be the best title of the passage
A. Survival Skills in the Exams! B. Preparations The Earlier, the Better!
C. Various Methods Effectiveness Speaks! D. The Expert Guides You to Pass Exams!
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. B 11. C

【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“That’s a point made by John Dunlosky, Professor of Psychology at Kent State University in the US.”（这是美国肯特州立大学心理学教授约翰·邓洛斯基提出的观点）；第三段“However, Dunlovsky commented that it doesn’t work on some subjects, such as language learning.”（然而，邓洛斯基评论说，它在某些科目上不起作用，比如语言学习。）以及第四段“Professor Dunlovsky recommends visual associations.”（邓洛夫斯基教授推荐视觉联想。）可知，文章介绍了一个专家的观点来展开文章的。故选B项。

After a tiring day at the office, you find it hard not to smile when you’re greeted by an exciting and joyful dog. But it’s not just the happy shouting and wriggling (扭动) tail that strike our heartstrings. A new study shows that dogs’eyes filled with tears when reunited with their owners cause effect that brings out our love. The findings appear in Current Biology.
Takefumi Kikusui watched with interest when his dog was feeding her puppies, her face became so cute. Kikusui, a professor of veterinary(兽医) medicine at Azabu University in Japan, realized that his lovely mama dog had tears in her eyes. That possible connection between unbearable cuteness and tears sent him to the lab.
In the test, he and his team first measured the baseline tear volumes when dogs were together with the owner in their house. Then quickly, the owner would leave and stay hidden away from it for five or six hours. When the owner came back, they measured tear volume again. And found that the reunion with the owner raised tear volume. But it only worked with the dog’s owner. If reunited with the familiar caretaker in the dog care center, there was no increase in tears.
The researchers doubted that the tearful reaction was caused by oxytocin, a hormone(荷尔蒙) linked with social bonding. So they applied oxytocin to the dogs’ eyes. And, the dogs grew weepy. But why To find out the reason for this easy-crying behavior, they showed volunteers a couple of dog head pictures. One was a normal dog face. And the other was a teary dog face in which they added man-made tears. The volunteers were more likely to want to hug and care for the one with big, wet puppy-dog eyes.
Dogs turn on the waterworks and their owners roll over. Now, that’s quite a clever trick!
12. What is Current Biology in Paragragh 1 likely to be
A. A science journal. B. A celebrity biography.
C. A science fiction. D. A biology textbook.
13. When did Takefumi have the idea of doing his research
A. When greeted by his dog excitedly.
B. When watching his dog feeding her kids.
C. When staying hidden from his dog for several hours.
D. When he and his dog got reunited in the care center.
14. Which can be the main idea of the passage
A. Never abandon dogs because they’ll cry. B. Dogs play tricks to win the caregivers’ love.
C. Dogs show love for owners with tears in eyes. D. Dogs arrest owners’ love with tearful eyes.
15. What does the writer think of the dogs with teary eyes
A. Lovely. B. Loyal. C. Sad. D. Surprising.
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. D 15. A

Dear Chris,

In order to increase the courage to speak in front of a crowd and improve our English, I’m planning to sign up for a singing contest and sing the English song. However, I have difficult in choosing a proper song, which need to be easy to learn. Could you recommend one to me Beside, is there anything I should pay attention to while prepared for the contest
I’d appreciate if you could offer me with some advice. Looking forward to your early reply.
Yours,
Li Hua
【答案】1. that→since
2. good→well
3. our →my
4 .the→an
5. difficult→difficulty
6. need→needs
7. Beside→Besides
8. prepared →preparing
9. appreciate后加it
10. 去掉with
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇应用文。短文叙述了李华向Chris征求意见希望推荐一首英文歌曲来参加一场歌唱比赛。
【详解】1.考查固定句式。句意：我上次给你写信已经三个月了。It is+一段时间+since+一般过去时，为固定句型，故that改为since。
2.考查副词。句意：希望一切顺利。副词well修饰动词，故good改为well。
3.考查代词。句意：为了增加在人群面前说话的勇气，提高我的英语水平，我计划报名参加一场歌唱比赛，唱一首英语歌。根据“I”可知，提高我的英语水平。故our改为my。
4.考查冠词。句意：为了增加在人群面前说话的勇气，提高我的英语水平，我计划报名参加一场歌唱比赛，唱一首英语歌。泛指“一首英文歌曲”，用不定冠词，且English首字母的发音为元音音素。故the改为an。
5.考查名词。句意：然而，我很难选择一首合适的需要容易学的歌。have difficulty in doing sth“有困难做某事”。故difficult改为difficulty。
6.考查主谓一致。句意：然而，我很难选择一首合适的需要容易学的歌。结合前文的have可知从句时态是一般现在时，先行词为song，引导词which作定语从句的主语，谓语动词为第三人称单数。故need改为needs。
7.考查副词。句意：此外，在准备比赛时，我有什么需要注意的吗？表示“此外”为besides。故beside改为besides。
8.考查省略句。句意：此外，在准备比赛时，我有什么需要注意的吗？。本句为状语从句的省略，还原后为：while I am preparing for，省略了I am。故prepared改为preparing。
9.考查it。句意：如果你能给我一些建议，我将不胜感激。I’d appreciate it if…“如果……，我将不胜感激”为固定句型，it作宾语。故appreciate后加it。
10.考查介词。句意：如果你能给我一些建议，我将不胜感激。offer sb sth“提供某人某物”为固定短语。故去掉with。
