Walker admits sometimes the possibility of having Huntingtons disease makes her anxious and sad, but for the most part, she doesnt think about it, and doesnt want to know if she has it. “If I have it, theres nothing I or anyone else can do at this point，” Walker said.“There is no cure for it or anything right now that even controls the disease well.Knowing isnt going to prevent me from having it.” Knowing that her life expectancy may be cut by 20 to 30 years is bound to cause some urgency.But getting tested can affect how someone lives their life.That was the conclusion of a study, which showed that individuals at risk of Huntingtons disease who didnt get tested lived as if they didnt have the disease, and those who tested positive were more likely to get divorced, retire, report major financial changes and change their recreational (娱乐的) activities. For Walker, shes optimistic about her chances.If she has Huntingtons disease, shes not worried about passing it on, since she doesnt plan on having kids.The time of her diagnosis wont affect how the disease progresses.Although she admits she would feel more pressure to live her life to the fullest if she were tested positive for Huntingtons disease, shes currently living her life as if she wont die in the next couple of decades by this disease.“Right now, I feel like my future is wide open and if I got tested and found out I have Huntingtons disease.Id feel like, well, theres my future and theres my fate，” Walker said.“Right now I have more time and freedom.”语篇解读：Huntington是一种遗传性疾病，尽管这种病对人的寿命有很大影响，但作者通过 Walker 对待这种病的态度告诉读者如何面对疾病。4Walker might have Huntingtons disease because _.Ashe likes to paint and readBher mother has the diseaseCshe refuses to take a testDshe often feels anxious and sad解析：选B细节理解题。从第一段可知她母亲有这种病，这使她有50%的概率得到这种病的基因。5It can be learned from the passage that _.Aknowing earlier about the disease will help to cure itBthere is no cure for the disease at presentCthere is no way to test if one has the diseaseDthe disease has no effect on ones life expectancy解析：选B细节理解题。第二段提到“There is no cure for it or anything right now that even controls the disease well.”故B项正确。6Which of the following may be the reason for Walker not taking a test of the disease?AShe didnt want to affect her later life.BShe was afraid of being cut 20 to 30 years.CShe didnt want to get divorced with her husband.DShe cant afford the money to take the test.解析：选A细节理解题。第三段重点讲述了对这种病进行测试对人今后的生活造成的影响，故A项正确。7What can be the best title for the passage?AHealth ignorance may be goodBHuntingtons disease, no cure, no testCHow to prevent Huntingtons diseaseDNever take a test of Huntingtons disease解析：选A标题归纳题。文章重点讲述了对Huntingtons disease 这种病进行测试的诸多负面影响，并对Walker 乐观对待疾病的态度给予了高度评价，所以A项符合文章主旨。CDogs are called mans best friends, and owners who dont play with their dogs find their pets suffer behavior problems such as anxiety and aggression, according to a survey.Dogs show symptoms such as “complaining and jumping up, as well as pulling on the lead and not coming when called”， the study of 4,000 dog owners said. And scientists are beginning to agree that play is the key to a dogs happiness.The research, carried out by Emily Blackwell of Bristol University, showed just one in five owners played with their dogs six times a day, while half played twice or three times a day with their pets and 10 percent played just once. The study found that there was “a growing acceptance” that the “frequency of play for dogs is a really good indicator of their quality of life”. There is a clear association in the results. Owners report more potential behavior problems in dogs that play less.The survey, which will be broadcast on the Channel 4 program Dogs: Their Secret Lives, also shows that a dogs favorite game is “fetch”， according to 43 percent of owners. However, Laura Dobb, who took part in the show, said if she threw her rescue dog Nash a tennis ball, he would throw it up in the air but wouldnt bring it back.The type of game owners played with their pets was important, according to one expert, who said that owners needed to find out which ones their animals enjoyed rather than “imposing a game”. When owners chose to play tug with their pets, he added that it was “rubbish” if they felt they had to let their dogs win out of fear. The animal would “dominate (主宰) their whole life”8What plays an important part in a dogs happiness?AMaking friends with it.BComplaining about it.CPulling on the lead.DPlaying with it often.解析：选D细节理解题。根据第二段的内容可知，答案应为D选项。9It can be learned that the game “fetch” is _.Aa game that all dogs will prefer to playBa game that a dog catches something and brings it backCa dogs game that becomes popular because of the Channel 4Da game that can show the secret of dogs lives解析：选B推理判断题。根据第四段最后一句的描述以及fetch的本意“取回”，可断定这种游戏是主人扔出某物然后狗接住并送回。10If we impose a game to a dog, it is quite possible that _.Athe dog quite enjoys the gameBthe game is quite popular among dogsCthis is a newly invented dog gameDthe game may not be the dogs cup of tea解析：选D推理判断题。此题的关键在于对rather than的准确理解，由前文的狗喜欢的游戏到后半句的而不是imposing a game 可推断出这是“强加的游戏”。11We can infer from the passage that _.Aowners spend too much time on their dogsBLaura Dobb never did “fetch” game with her dogCits unwise to let the dog win a game purposelyDmany owners are afraid of their pet animals解析：选C推理判断题。由最后一段最后一句话可知，作者认为与狗玩游戏时故意输给它是“rubbish”，由此可推断C项正确。DWhat does Shakespeare offer English language learners apart from the theatrical and literary experience awaiting anyone who hears or reads his poems and sees or reads his plays? A great deal. Shakespeare is in many ways the perfect advanced teacher he shows us how to use the resources (资源) of a language as effectively (有效地) as possible.He has of course been an important general influence on the development of English, because many of his words and sentences have become part of everyday modern use. You are quoting (引述) Shakespeare when you say that truth will out, the game is up, and you havent slept a wink (havent slept at all). If you look in the unabridged (未删节的) Oxford English Dictionary (OED), youll find over 2,000 words which have their first recorded use in Shakespeare, such as assassination, outswear, and weatherbitten.Far more important, though, is the way his linguistic strategies provide guidelines for modern users. He added un to make new words, such as unbuild and unmusical; today we do the same thing with uncool and unfunny. He added less to make airless and languageless; today we say such things as computerless and iPadless. He also turned nouns into verbs; his characters nose things as well as smell them; they ear things as well as hear them; they are windowed (displayed in a window) and mudded (covered by mud). Today, the Internet provides many examples of people texting, googling, and tweeting, and doing many things that were originally nouns. This is well within the spirit of Shakespeare.Shakespeare teaches learners how to be daring in their use of English. It is a sign of real fluency when learners can take a rule and change it to suit their purposes. Perhaps we should view Shakespeare the greatest writer in the English language in a new way: the best English teacher.语篇解读：本文是说明文。文章介绍了莎士比亚对英语语言出神入化的运用，及其对英语产生的深远影响。12Why does the author regard Shakespeare as a great teacher?AHe had very advanced teaching skills.BHe offered much learning resources.CHe made more people love plays.DHe made the best use of English.解析：选D细节理解题。由第一段的“he shows us how to use the resources of a language as effectively as possible”可知，作者把莎士比亚看作一位伟大的老师是因为他对英语进行了最好的运用。13What can we infer about the expressions in the underlined part?AThey are quite confusing.BThey are frequently used.CThey are collected in the OED.DThey are recorded by Shakespeare.解析：选B句意理解题。画线部分是针对前一句“many of his words and sentences have become part of everyday modern use”的例证。画线部分出现的表达方式是人们在引述莎士比亚时常用的话。14What can we learn about the method of creating words like “languageless”？AIt proved to be a wrong way to use words.BIt was Shakespeares way to invent words.CModern people seldom make words in this way.DShakespeare based the way on traditional strategies.解析：选B细节理解题。由第三段的“He added un to make new words, such as unbuild and unmusical”和“He added less to make airless and languageless”可知，像languageless这样的词语都属于莎士比亚造词的一种方法。15What does the text mainly discuss?AWhy Shakespeare was daring in his use of English.BHow Shakespeares plays influence teaching.CHow well Shakespeare could use English.DWhy Shakespeare is so influential.解析：选C主旨大意题。作者通过分析告诉我们：莎士比亚把英语语言运用到了极致。.阅读七选五(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Halloween a Candy HolidayIt is that time of year when kids dress up in costumes and arrive at your doorstep for candy, screaming “Trick or treat！” _16_ The origin of Halloween lies in an ancient Celtic festival celebrated to mark the end of fall and the start of winter.Some of the old Celtic traditions continue even today.
