Dragon” on November 27,1940 at the Jackson Street Hospital in San Franciscos Chinatown.Today，a plaque(牌匾) in the hospitals entry remembers the place of his birth.Bruces birth，in the hour and the year of Dragon，is a powerful symbol in Chinese astrology(星相学)It would be a strong indication of the powerful life that was to be lived by Bruce Lee and the explosive influence his life would have on countless others.At the age of three months，Lee Hoi Chuen，his wife Grace and baby Bruce returned to Hong Kong where Bruce would be raised until the age of 18.Probably because of the long ocean voyage and the change in climates，Bruce was not a strong child in his very early years，a condition that would change when he took up the study of kung fu at the age of 13.At the age of 13，Bruce was introduced to Master Yip Man，a teacher of the Wing Chun style of kung fu.For five years Bruce studied diligently and became very proficient.Regarding Yip Man as a master teacher and wise man，Bruce respected him greatly and frequently visited him in later years.When he first took up kung fu，he used his new skills to fight his “enemies”，but it did not take long for Bruce to learn that the real value of martial arts training is that the skills of physical combat(搏斗) build up confidence to the point that one does not feel the constant need to defend ones honor through fighting.In high school，Bruce，now no longer a weak child，was beginning to improve his body through hard training.One of his accomplishments was winning an interschool Boxing Championship against an English student.Given the graceful movements，which would later be spectacularly displayed in his films，it is no surprise that Bruce was also an excellent dancer，and in 1958 he won the Hong Kong Cha Cha Championship.At the age of 18，Bruce was looking for new prospect in his life，as were his parents who were discouraged that Bruce had not made much progress academically.His family decided that it was time for him to return to the land of his birth and find his future there.In April of 1959，with ￥100 in his pocket，Bruce boarded a steamship and began his voyage to San Francisco.24The plaque at the entrance of the Jackson Street Hospital is considered as .Aan obvious sign of Bruces powerful lifeBa strong influence of Bruces life on othersCa reminder of Bruce Lees birthplaceDa powerful symbol in Chinese astrology答案C解析细节理解题。根据第一段第二句“Today，a plaque(牌匾) in the hospitals entry remembers the place of his birth.”可知，这个牌匾是为了纪念李小龙的出生地点的。故选C项。25Bruce didnt have a strong body until .Ahe practiced boxing in high schoolBhe took up kung fu with Master Yip ManChe won a dancing championship Dhe returned to the land of his birth答案B解析细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句“.Bruce was not a strong child in his very early years，a condition that would change when he took up the study of kung fu at the age of 13.”可知，李小龙一直到13岁学习功夫时身体才开始变强壮起来。故选B项。26Learning kung fu diligently from Master Yip Man，Bruce soon realized that .Aone cant master kung fu skills without much practiceBonly through physical combat can one defend his honorCone can never defeat himself unless trained by a masterDexcellent kung fu skills can strengthen ones confidence considerably答案D解析细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“.but it did not take long for Bruce to learn that the real value of martial arts training is that the skills of physical combat(搏斗) build up confidence to the point that one does not feel the constant need to defend ones honor through fighting.”可知，李小龙学习功夫后不久就领悟到，从某种程度上学习功夫可以增强一个人的自信，而这种自信使他不必总想通过搏斗来捍卫自己的荣誉。故选D项。27It can be inferred from the passage that .ABruce didnt have outstanding academic achievements in schoolBMaster Yip Man offered to teach Bruce Chinese kung fu for freeCBruces parents sent him back to San Francisco for better educationDBruce made a big fortune by participating in boxing competitions答案A解析推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句“.as were his parents who were discouraged that Bruce had not made much progress academically.”可知，父母对李小龙的学业未能取得进步感到很沮丧，由此可推断，李小龙的学业不突出。故选A项。CYou may have heard adults say they are uncomfortable in the morning without a cup of coffee.The reason is that coffee contains caffeine(咖啡因)，a substance known to give an energy boost.Now food makers are adding it to many products.“Its possible for all of this caffeine consumption to add up and become dangerous，” says Virginia Stallings，a doctor at the Childrens Hospital of Philadelphia.The US.government is especially worried about the problem.Thats why the Food and Drug Administration(FDA) is studying the health effects of caffeine on young people.Studies show that too much caffeine can make people nervous and unable to sleep，and a racing heartbeat.Whats more，caffeine is habitforming.One of the biggest concerns is the large amount of caffeine added to socalled energy drinks，like Red Bull.A 12ounce can of cola has about 35 milligrams of caffeine.A similar serving of Red Bull contains more than three times that amount.The Institute of Medicine is also working on caffeinesafety measures.“Teenagers should be aware of caffeines effects on health and on how the brain works.Take，for example，teenagers who consume caffeine to stay awake and study for a test.They will remember less of what they just studied，” says Stallings，a member of the institute.So what can be done to protect young people from the harmful effects of caffeine？The FDA needs to set limits on caffeine.As for added caffeine in foods，the government should just say no.If not，the amount of caffeine should be printed on food labels.But first the government needs to judge the safety of added caffeine in foods and drinks.Doctors say kids should avoid caffeine because it is really harmful to their health.If you need extra energy，try these natural boosters：eat right，exercise，and get plenty of sleep.语篇解读现在很多饮料和食物里面都添加了咖啡因，它对年轻人的健康有负面影响，因此医生告诫孩子应避免摄入咖啡因。28What is the US.government particularly concerned about?AThe side effects of caffeine

adding it to many products.”以及第二段中的“The US.government is especially worried about the problem.”可知，食品生产商给许多食品添加咖啡因，这引起了美国政府的特别关注。29Red Bull is listed in the third paragraph as an example of .Acaffeines effects on healthBteenagers addiction to caffeineCdrinks which contain much caffeineDpeoples concern about teenagers health答案C解析推理判断题。从第三段中的“One of the biggest concerns is the large amount of caffeine added to socalled energy drinks，like Red Bull.”可知，红牛里添加了许多咖啡因，而作者列举这个例子就是为了说明这种情况。30Paragraph 5 is mainly about .Athe measures of protecting teenagers from caffeines bad effectsBthe process of the governments controlling the use of caffeineCthe governments responsibility for taking care of teenagersDthe risk of buying products containing caffeine nowadays答案A解析段落大意题。第五段的内容主要是讲政府应采取的各种措施保护孩子们少接触含咖啡因的饮料及其他食物。31The author may agree that .Afood makers add little caffeine to many products nowBheadaches and feeling tired are common in teenagersCcaffeine is very good and useful for teenagers studyDgetting enough sleep can make people energetic答案D解析推理判断题。根据文章最后一段的内容可知，合理饮食、锻炼以及足够的睡眠可以使人们精力旺盛，因此D项正确。DWhen going through major life changes，like changing careers，I would change the people with whom I spent the most time.Weve all gone through periods when the people in our lives have changedgraduation，moving to a new city，getting a new job，joining a new club，etc.I dont think I need to convince you just how much influence other people can have over your identity.If youve ever experienced a major switch in your people environment，then you know that you change as well.Most people dont make these choices consciously(意识到地) though.You might consciously decide to spend more time with a certain friend，or you may ask someone out on a date to begin a new relationship.But few people choose their existing friendships deliberately.Theres no “getting rid of people”People are always dropping into and out of each others lives.Associations grow into friendships，and friendships fade into associations.You dont get rid of anyone.The truth is that in order to make room for new people and new experiences，you may need to loosen up some of your existing connections.What about loyalty(忠诚)？Shouldnt you always be loyal to your friends？Once you have a close friend，even if his influence on you is slightly harmful，shouldnt you stick by him?Loyalty to a friend sometimes means having to let go.It means being loyal to their highest and best self as well.If someone is destroying his health by smoking，for example，you arent showing loyalty by smoking right along with him.True loyalty sometimes requires that you break damaging connections，get yourself back on solid ground，and then decide what you can really do to help your friend.It can take a lot of courage to tell someone.“Im sorry，but I cant have you in my life anymore.” But even though this might seem like a selfish act at times，its often the best thing for the other person too.If a relationship is holding you back in some way，understand that its also hurting the other person.For example，if you work for a violent boss，your acceptance of that situation is considered to be silent approval，encouraging your boss to continue to behave violently.语篇解读人们发生重大生活变化的时候，人际环境也会变化。在这种变化的生活中，如何处理与朋友之间的关系呢？怎么做才是对朋友的忠诚呢？作者给出了自己的看法。32When experiencing major life changes，people may .Ajoin a new social communityBinfluence their friends aroundCchoose their friendships purposelyDhave their people environment changed答案D解析推理判断题。根据第一段第一、二句“When going through major life changes，like changing careers，I would change the people with whom I spent the most time.Weve all gone through periods when the people in our lives have changed.”可知，当人们经历重大的生活变化时，可能会改变他们的人际环境。故选D项。33What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 mean?AEveryone has at least one friend.BIt is unnecessary to make new friends.CFriendship still exists though theres less connection.DYou ought to treat your old and new friends equally.答案C解析句意猜测题。根据画线句子后面的描述可知，人们之间深入的交往可以变成友谊，曾经的友谊也会淡化成简单的交往，但是我们不可能摆脱任何人。故选C项。34What is the authors opinion on the loyalty to friends?ANever betray your close friends whatever happens.BCorrect their mistakes while you guard their goodness.CStick by your friends even though they do harm to you.DBreak up with your friends immediately if they smoke.答案B解析推理判断题。倒数第二段最后一句话表达了作者对忠诚的理解，即真正的忠诚有时要求你打破有破坏性的联系，坚持自己的立场，然后再决定你能做些什么去帮助你的朋友。故选B项。35How should we behave when employed by a violent boss?AWe should accept what we are told to do.BWe should stay silent and be in favor of it.CWe should bravely disobey him if he is wrong.DWe should give our boss courage to continue.答案C解析细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“.if you work for a violent

violently.”可知选C项。第二节(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。Its Time to Put It AwayYour smart phone may have hurt you before you realize it.Dont be addicted to it.Put your phone

dry eyes，headaches and tiredness，which can decrease your productivity.Experts suggest taking screen breaks every 20 minutes.4Text NeckSimilar to the claw，text neckdiscomfort in the neck and

muscle contraction ”及“after heavy smart phone use”可知，本段主要讲述过度使用手机会带来肌肉等方面的疼痛，与F项的pain in the tendons(筋) and muscles when done repeatedly相对应。38答案G解析根据本段段落标题Eye Strain可知，本段主要讲述过度使用电子产品对眼部造成的危害。由此可锁定G项，G项中的eyes及eye tiredness与之对应。39答案D解析根据设空前的“in the neck and spine”及空后的“neck bends”可知选D项(这个习惯可能会导致人们在年轻时就需要脊柱治疗了。)，D项中的The habit指“you spend a long time looking down at your smart phone”。40答案E解析根据本段的中心词safety及设空前介绍行人过马路看手机的危害可知，E项(为避免受伤或是更坏的结果，在抵达安全的场所之前，要把手机收起来)符合语境。第三部分英语知识运用(共两节，满分45分)第一节完形填空(共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。My
