The very wealthy English Baron Fitzgerald had only one child, a son, who understandably was the apple of his eye. His wife died when the child was in his early teens. So Fitzgerald devoted himself to fathering the kid. Unluckily the son died in his late teens.
Meanwhile, Fitzgerald’s wealth greatly increased. He spent a lot on art works of the masters.
Later Fitzgerald himself became seriously ill. Before his death, he had carefully prepared his will as to how his wealth would be settled — to sell his entire collection at an auction (拍卖会).
Because of the large quantity and high quality of his collection a huge crowd of possible buyers gathered for the auction. Many of them were museum directors and private collectors eager to bid (竞拍). Before the auction, the art works were shown, among which was a painting of Fitzgerald’s son by an unknown artist. Because of its poor quality, it received little attention.
When it was time for the auction, the auctioneer gaveled to attention. First the lawyer read from Fitzgerald’s will that the first art work to be auctioned was the painting of his son.
The poor-quality painting didn’t receive any bidders…except one — the old servant who had served the son and loved him, and who for emotional reasons offered the only bid.
As soon as the servant bought the painting for less than one English pound, the auctioneer stopped the bidding and asked the lawyer to read again from the will. The crowd became quiet and the lawyer read from the will, “Whoever buys the painting of my son gets all my collection.” Then the auction was over.

A. A museum director. B. A master of art. C. An art collector. D. A businessman.

A. The Auction B. The Painting of the Son
C. The Servant at the Auction D. One Painting for All
【答案】4. C 5. A 6. B 7. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了一位仆人购买了一位Fitzgerald男爵儿子的画像，结果意外得到了Fitzgerald所有收藏品的故事。

【7题详解】
主旨大意题。通读整篇文章，主要讲述了男爵Fitzgerald是一位艺术收藏家，在他死前，他就如何安置他的财富仔细准备了遗嘱——在拍卖会上出售他的全部收藏。拍卖会上第一件作品就是一幅Fitzgerald儿子的画，由于质量低劣，它很少受到关注。只有曾经服侍过儿子的一个老仆人买下了画，结果律师宣布遗嘱：谁买了Fitzgerald儿子的画，谁就得到Fitzgerald所有的收藏。由此可知，D选项“One Painting for All. (一幅画拥有所有画作收藏)”符合文章标题。故选D。

“All work and no play make Jack a dull boy.” But now scientists have given us another warning: too much play with smartphones or computers makes you dull too.
“Many focus on the benefits of digital devices (设备) in education but ignore the costs,” said Patricia Greenfield from the University of California, “losing the ability to understand the emotions of other people is one of the costs.” Greenfield and her research team did an experiment. They worked with 105 children who spend about 4.5 hours in front of screens on a school day. The students were asked to describe the emotions towards the pictures of people who were happy, sad, angry or scared. Then, half of them attended a five-day nature and science camp. There they had no smartphones, TV, or computers. The other half stayed in school and spent the five days as usual. Five days later, all the children took the test again.
Students who had been to the camp got about 5 per cent more answers correct than they had done before the camp. But the other group of students didn’t show much improvement. The study is not perfect in some ways, said the researchers. But scientists say that the study is still a warning for us.
“Emotional skills develop in practice and the brain develops through real interaction,” said Professor Taylor, a professor at the University of San Francisco.
Researchers talked to 2, 000 parents of children aged 2—16 in the UK about what activities their children could do confidently. The results were surprising: their children could use a tablet (平板电脑) (59%) and work a mobile phone (57%) more confidently than they could tie their shoe laces (鞋带) (53%)! So, spend more time away from mobile phones and computers if you want to be an understanding friend, and not a member of what the Daily Mail called “Generation Helpless”.
8. According to Professor Greenfield, what’s the possible result of using digital media in education
A. Being in bad terms with family members. B. Making more mistakes when taking exams.
C. Falling far behind others in all schoolwork. D. Failing to relate to other people’s emotions.
9. What do scientists think of the results of Greenfields experiment
A. They are alarming for people. B. They are far from perfect.
C. They are quite surprising. D. They don’t need to be improved.
10. What can we know from the text
A. Too much play with digital devices raised some worries.
B. Students learned how to describe emotions in the experiment.
C. Students living without screens did much better in studies.
D. Most of the UK children couldn’t tie their shoe laces.
11. What is the purpose of the text
A. To warn us to stay away from the Internet.
B. To show screens do harm to emotions.
C. To show a digital world.
D. To explain how people become the Internet addicts.
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. A 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了科学家对于人们长期接触电子产品造成的影响的测试。通过对不同组学生参与不同的活动以后的情感测试，得出结果：长期接触电子产品会让人缺失一些情感因素以及降低对他人的理解能力。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段““Many focus on the benefits of digital devices (设备) in education but ignore the costs,” said Patricia Greenfield from the University of California, “losing the ability to understand the emotions of other people is one of the costs.”(加州大学的Patricia Greenfield说：“许多人只关注数字设备在教育中的好处，却忽视了其代价。失去理解他人情绪的能力是代价之一。”)”可知，根据Greenfield教授的说法，在教育中使用数字设备会导致无法理解他人的情感。故选D。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“The study is not perfect in some ways, said the researchers. But scientists say that the study is still a warning for us.(研究人员说，这项研究在某些方面并不完美。但科学家们表示这项研究仍然是对我们的一个警告)”可知，科学家们认为Greenfield教授的实验结果给人警告。故选A。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段““All work and no play make Jack a dull boy.” But now scientists have given us another warning: too much play with smartphones or computers makes you dull too.”(“只工作不玩耍，聪明孩子也变傻。”但现在科学家们还提醒我们另一个警告：过度玩智能手机或电脑也会让你变傻)”以及最后一段“The results were surprising: their children could use a tablet (平板电脑) (59%) and work a mobile phone (57%) more confidently than they could tie their shoe laces (鞋带) (53%)!(结果令人惊讶：他们的孩子在使用平板电脑（59%）和使用手机（57%）时比系鞋带（53%）更自信！)”可推知，过多地使用数字设备引发了一些担忧。故选A。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段中“But now scientists have given us another warning: too much play with smartphones or computers makes you dull too.(但现在科学家们给了我们另一个警告：过度玩智能手机或电脑也会让你变傻)”并结合文章主要介绍了科学家对于人们长期接触电子产品造成的影响的测试，通过对不同组学生参加不同的活动以后的情感测试，结果显示：长期接触电子产品会让人缺失一些情感因素以及降低对他人的理解能力，因此本文的目的是表明屏幕会伤害情感。故选B。
D
The US teenager Thomas Cheatham had planned to study Latin during his time at Hebron High School in Texas. However, when he learned that the school district was going to offer a Mandarin (普通话) class, he quickly changed his mind.
“I thought Mandarin would be more beneficial than Latin,” said Cheatham, who is now in his second year of studying the language. He speaks Mandarin to order food at Chinese restaurants and can read social media posts from his Chinese-speaking friends.
While it is a difficult language to master, the high school junior, who plans to study computer engineering, thinks it will be important for his career. “Chinese is a good language to know, especially with China becoming a growing power,” he said.
Many experts agree that proficiency in a language spoken by more than a billion people worldwide will give American students an edge in the global economy. “People are looking at China as our next economic competitor , and interest in Mandarin is growing,” said Marty Abbott, executive director of the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages. “We’re seeing it in all parts of the country.”
Abbott estimates that as many as 100,000 students are now studying Mandarin throughout the US, in public and private schools. She said the US government had designated Mandarin as a “critical need” language and provided professional development programmes for teachers. “Our government wants to increase our language competency for national security and economic competitiveness,” Abbott said.
At the same time, the Chinese government is spreading knowledge of the Chinese language and culture through Confucius Institutes established set up in many US states. For example, the Confucius Institute at the University of Texas at Dallas has been the home of a Confucius Institute for 10 years. It sponsors (赞助) Confucius Classrooms at 21 local public and private schools, where tens of thousands of students are learning Mandarin.
12. Why did Thomas Cheatham decide to study Mandarin instead of Latin
A. Because Mandarin was easier to learn than Latin.
B. Because Mandarin might help him learn more about Chinese food.
C. Because Mandarin could enable him to make more friends online.
D. Because Mandarin could have more advantages in his future career.
13. What does the underlined word “proficiency” in Paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Strong interest. B. Great skill. C. Lack of practice. D. A level of difficulty.
14. Which of the statements below is TRUE according to the passage
A. Americans are considering China as a great economic competitor.
B. Chinese is the most popular second language in the US.
C. American students are only studying Chinese in public schools.
D. The Confucius Institute at the University of Texas is the first one in the US.
15. What is the main idea of the text
A. The rising popularity of Mandarin among American students.
B. The influence of China’s growing power on Americans.
C. The benefits of learning Mandarin for Americans.
D. How Confucius Institutes in the US help promote Mandarin.
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. A 15. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文，主要以一个美国学生的经历为例来讲述随着中国经济的发展，越来越多的美国人开始学习普通话，许多美国人也意识到普通话的重要性，随着孔子学院的开办，很多美国学生学习汉语。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。由第三段“While it is a difficult language to master, the high school junior, who plans to study computer engineering, thinks it will be important for his career.(虽然这是一门很难掌握的语言，但这位计划学习计算机工程的高三学生认为，这对他的职业生涯很重要。)”可知，Thomas Cheatham决定学习汉语而不是拉丁语，因为他认为在他未来的职业生涯中，普通话可能有更多的优势。故选D。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。由第三段“While it is a difficult language to master, the high school junior, who plans to study computer engineering, thinks it will be important for his career.(虽然这是一门很难掌握的语言，但这位计划学习计算机工程的高三学生认为，这对他的职业生涯很重要。)”可知，学好汉语对职业生涯很重要，所以划线词所在句子表示“许多专家一致认为，熟练掌握世界上十亿人所说的语言将使美国学生在全球经济中占据优势”，因此proficiency的意思是“高超的技能”，和B选项“Great skill(高超的技巧)”意思相近。故选B。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。由第四段“People are looking at China as our next economic competitor(人们把中国视为我们的下一个经济竞争对手)”可知，A选项“Americans are considering China as a great economic competitor.(美国人认为中国是一个强大的经济竞争对手。)”是正确的，故选A。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第四段的““People are looking at China as our next economic competitor , and interest in Mandarin is growing,” said Marty Abbott, executive director of the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages. “We’re seeing it in all parts of the country.”(美国外语教学委员会(American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages)执行主任Marty Abbott说，“人们把中国视为我们的下一个经济竞争对手，对普通话的兴趣也在增长。”“我们在全国各地都看到了这种情况。”)”可知，本文主要讲的是随着中国经济的发展，越来越多的美国人开始学习普通话，许多美国人也意识到普通的重要性，随着孔子学院的开办，很多美国学生学习汉语，和A选项“The rising popularity of Mandarin among American students.(普通话在美国学生中越来越受欢迎。)”表述一致。故选A。

根据短文内容，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。
Have you recently spotted people carrying garbage bags while jogging ____16____ This is a new eco－friendly workout called plogging, a combination of jogging and the Swedish term “plocka upp” , meaning “pick up".
Plogging is essentially regular old jogging but with an eco－ friendly upgrade. Here's how it works. ____17____, ploggers pick up the garbage littered on the street and dispose of it correctly instead of jogging on.
Starting in Sweden, plogging has caught on across the world. This new workout trend will bring about some serious benefits: keeping ploggers in shape and saving the planet.
The eco－friendly workout is significantly more effective than just jogging. ____18____, a half hour of plogging will burn 288 calories on average, compared to just 235 calories from regular jogging. Besides, plogging is a nice distraction when your run might otherwise be dragging. Instead of counting the steps until you jog for another mile, you'll be too busy spotting garbage to realize you've already covered 5 miles.
____19____. Littering influences our quality of life and economic development, and often ends up polluting the environment and harming wildlife. Plogging, simple and fun, enables everyone to help create cleaner, greener, and more beautiful communities.
So next time you go for a jog, try stopping to gather any garbage while you are at it. ____20____
A. Have you noticed people littering here and there
B. Or their hands filled with some old plastic bottles
C. After all, both your body and planet will thank you
D. While jogging through a park or neighborhood roads
E. Since plogging needs people to track and record calories
F. Then there come the earth－friendly effects of plogging
G. As plogging requires some bending and arm strength to hold all the garbage
【答案】16. B 17. D 18. G 19. F 20. C
【解析】
【分析】本文是说明文。介绍了一种全新、环保的锻炼身体的方式：跑步捡垃圾。
【16题详解】
根据上文“Have you recently spotted people carrying garbage bags while jogging？”(你最近有没有发现有人在慢跑时背着垃圾袋 )可知，此处描述了慢跑者捡垃圾的现象，B选项Or their hands filled with some old plastic bottles(或者他们手里拿着一些旧塑料瓶)与之呼应，进一步描述慢跑者捡垃圾的现象，故选B项。
【17题详解】
根据上文“Here's how it works. ”可知，此处要介绍这项新运动的条件和实践方式，D选项While jogging through a park or neighborhood roads(在公园或附近的道路上慢跑)介绍了跑步捡垃圾者运动的地点，故选D项。
【18题详解】
根据空后的“a half hour of plogging will burn 288 calories on average, compared to just 235 calories from regular jogging”(慢跑捡垃圾半小时平均可以燃烧288卡路里，而常规慢跑只会燃烧235卡路里)可推知，前后句表示逻辑上的因果关系，G选项As plogging requires some bending and arm strength to hold all the garbage(因为plogging需要一些弯曲和手臂力量来装所有的垃圾)说明了慢跑捡垃圾燃烧更多卡路里的原因，故选G项。
【19题详解】
空处是本段的主题句。根据对本段“Plogging, simple and fun, enables everyone to help create cleaner, greener, and more beautiful communities.”(Plogging简单而有趣，让每个人都能帮助创建更清洁、更绿色、更美丽的社区。)及上文“The eco-friendly workout is significantly more effective than just jogging. ”(这种环保的锻炼方式明显比慢跑更有效。)可推知，本段主要讲的是这种新型运动方式的环保效果， F项Then there come the earth－friendly effects of plogging(然后是plogging对地球的友好效应)统领本段内容，第三段中的“saving the planet”也是提示。故选F项。
【20题详解】
上文介绍了慢跑者捡垃圾现象，其起源，对健康和环境的好处。上句“So next time you go for a jog, try stopping to gather any garbage while you are at it.”(所以下次你去慢跑的时候，试着停下来收集垃圾。)号召人们慢跑时捡垃圾，选项C “After all, both your body and planet will thank you”(毕竟，你的身体和地球都会感谢你)总结上文，故选C项。

The very wealthy English Baron Fitzgerald had only one child, a son, who understandably was the apple of his eye. His wife died when the child was in his early teens. So Fitzgerald devoted himself to fathering the kid. Unluckily the son died in his late teens.
Meanwhile, Fitzgerald’s wealth greatly increased. He spent a lot on art works of the masters.
Later Fitzgerald himself became seriously ill. Before his death, he had carefully prepared his will as to how his wealth would be settled — to sell his entire collection at an auction (拍卖会).
Because of the large quantity and high quality of his collection, a huge crowd of possible buyers gathered for the auction. Many of them were museum directors and private collectors eager to bid (竞拍). Before the auction, the art works were shown, among which was a painting of Fitzgerald’s son by an unknown artist. Because of its poor quality, it received little attention.
When it was time for the auction, the auctioneer gaveled to attention. First the lawyer read from Fitzgerald’s will that the first art work to be auctioned was the painting of his son.
The poor-quality painting didn’t receive any bidders…except one — the old servant who had served the son and loved him, and who for emotional reasons offered the only bid.
As soon as the servant bought the painting for less than one English pound, the auctioneer stopped the bidding and asked the lawyer to read again from the will. The crowd became quiet and the lawyer read from the will, “Whoever buys the painting of my son gets all my collection.” Then the auction was over.
4. What did the English Baron Fitzgerald do
A. A museum director. B. A master of art. C. An art collector. D. A businessman.
5. Why did the old servant bid for the painting of Fitzgerald’s son
A. He had served Fitzgerald’s son and loved him.
B. He saw that no one bid for it.
C. He knew the content of the will.
D. He found it cheap for him to buy.
6. What kind of person was the old servant
A. Proud. B. Kind. C. Foolish. D. Clever.
7. Which of the following is the best title of this passage
A. The Auction B. The Painting of the Son
C. The Servant at the Auction D. One Painting for All

“All work and no play make Jack a dull boy” But now scientists have given us another warning: too much play with smartphones or computers makes you dull too.
“Many focus on the benefits of digital devices (设备) in education but ignore the costs,” said Patricia Greenfield from the University of California, “losing the ability to understand the emotions of other people is one of the costs.” Greenfield and her research team did an experiment. They worked with 105 children who spend about 4.5 hours in front of screens on a school day. The students were asked to describe the emotions towards the pictures of people who were happy, sad, angry or scared. Then, half of them attended a five-day nature and science camp. There they had no smartphones, TV, or computers. The other half stayed in school and spent the five days as usual. Five days later, all the children took the test again.
Students who had been to the camp got about 5 per cent more answers correct than they had done before the camp. But the other group of students didn’t show much improvement. The study is not perfect in some ways, said the researchers. But scientists say that the study is still a warning for us.
“Emotional skills develop in practice and the brain develops through real interaction,” said Professor Taylor, a professor at the University of San Francisco.
Researchers talked to 2, 000 parents of children aged 2—16 in the UK about what activities their children could do confidently. The results were surprising: their children could use a tablet (平板电脑) (59%) and work a mobile phone (57%) more confidently than they could tie their shoe laces (鞋带) (53%)! So, spend more time away from mobile phones and computers if you want to be an understanding friend, and not a member of what the Daily Mail called “Generation Helpless”.
8. According to Professor Greenfield, what’s the possible result of using digital media in education
A. Being in bad terms with family members. B. Making more mistakes when taking exams.
C. Falling far behind others in all schoolwork. D. Failing to relate to other people’s emotions.
9. What do scientists think of the results of Greenfields experiment
A. They are alarming for people. B. They are far from perfect.
C. They are quite surprising. D. They don’t need to be improved.
10. What can we know from the text
A. Too much play with digital devices raised some worries.
B. Students learned how to describe emotions in the experiment.
C. Students living without screens did much better in studies.
D. Most of the UK children couldn’t tie their shoe laces.
11. What is the purpose of the text
A. To warn us to stay away from the Internet.
B. To show screens do harm to emotions.
C. To show a digital world.
D. To explain how people become the Internet addicts.
D
The US teenager Thomas Cheatham had planned to study Latin during his time at Hebron High School in Texas. However, when he learned that the school district was going to offer a Mandarin (普通话) class, he quickly changed his mind.
“I thought Mandarin would be more beneficial than Latin,” said Cheatham, who is now in his second year of studying the language. He speaks Mandarin to order food at Chinese restaurants and can read social media posts from his Chinese-speaking friends.
While it is a difficult language to master, the high school junior, who plans to study computer engineering, thinks it will be important for his career. “Chinese is a good language to know, especially with China becoming a growing power,” he said.
Many experts agree that proficiency in a language spoken by more than a billion people worldwide will give American students an edge in the global economy. “People are looking at China as our next economic competitor , and interest in Mandarin is growing,” said Marty Abbott, executive director of the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages. “We’re seeing it in all parts of the country.”
Abbott estimates that as many as 100,000 students are now studying Mandarin throughout the US, in public and private schools. She said the US government had designated Mandarin as a “critical need” language and provided professional development programmes for teachers. “Our government wants to increase our language competency for national security and economic competitiveness,” Abbott said.
