Colors give off very specific signals, and different tie colors stand for very different impacts. Wondering what color tie to wear to your next meeting? Heres how to choose the perfect color tie for every occasion：All powerful redsIts not a coincidence (巧合) that many politicians wear redcolored ties with light shirts and darker suits. “Red is the powerful color，” said Mark Woodman, a trend analyst who studies color in Laurel, Maryland. “Theres something about red that always comes back to strength and passion.” But the tone of your reds matters, too. Darker reds can help build trust, while lighter red and pink ties can be more of a statement about your personal style and be associated with creativity. When you want to convey a sense of ambition, consider a shiny red.Royal purplesRoss Znavor, an executive in financial services in New York, wears purple ties rather than red to business meetings because the color shows a bit of selfconfidence and helps him create lasting first impressions. Purple, traditionally a sign of royalty and wealth, is becoming more acceptable in the workplace.Black affairs“While you might not wear them to meetings on a regular basis, wearing black ties to a cocktail party or even a dinner is unique and attractive，” said Zyla. But remember: the formal black color can feel aggressive in many situations. “Avoid it if you are a greenhand at work，” Zyla said.Right bluesAfraid of sending the wrong message with your tie color? Consider blue as the allpurpose tie. Blue ties are a good investment because the color reminds people of the sky and ocean. “Blue is the safest color to wear，” Lindsay said.语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。每一种颜色都会传递不同的信息，产生不同的影响。在想下一次开会要系什么颜色的领带吗？本文能帮你选出匹配每个场合的最佳颜色的领带。1Why do many politicians prefer redcolored ties?ABecause they often wear light shirts and darker suits.BBecause they want to get promoted.CBecause red is related to strength and passion.DBecause red gets their message across easily.解析：选C细节理解题。由第二段中的“Red is the powerful color”和“Theres something about red that always comes back to strength and passion.”可知选C。2Who will probably choose the purple ties?APoliticians.BBusinessmen.CArtists.

Many people feel this way after lunch. They may think that eating lunch is the cause of the sleepiness. Or, in summer, they may think it is the heat. However, the real reason lies inside their bodies. At that time about eight hours after you wake up your body temperature goes down. This is what makes you slow down and feel sleepy. Scientists have tested sleep habits in experiments where there was no night or day. The people in these experiments almost always followed a similar sleeping pattern. They slept for one long period and then for one short period about eight hours later.In many parts of the world, people take naps (小睡) in the middle of the day. This is especially true in warmer climates, where the heat makes work difficult in the early afternoon. Researchers are now saying that naps are good for everyone in any climate. A daily nap gives one a more rested body and mind and therefore is good for health in general. In countries where naps are traditional, people often suffer less from problems such as heart disease. Many working people, unfortunately, have no time to take naps. Though doctors may advise taking naps, employers dont follow it! If you do have the chance, however, here are a few tips about making the most of your nap. Remember that the best time to take a nap is about eight hours after you get up. A short sleep too late in the day may only make you feel more tired and sleepy afterward. This can also happen if you sleep for too long. If you do not have enough time, try a short nap even ten minutes of sleep can be helpful.4Why do you sometimes feel sleepy in the early afternoon?ABecause you eat too much for lunch.BBecause its hot in summer.CBecause your body temperature goes down at that time.DBecause you didnt have a good sleep last night.解析：选C细节理解题。根据第一段中的“However, the real reason lies inside their bodies. At that time about eight hours after you wake up your body temperature goes down.” 可知选C。5What can we learn about “naps” according to the last paragraph?AAll the people in warmer climates take naps in the middle of the day.BDoctors need to take naps while employers dont.CIf you take naps every day, youll never suffer from heart disease.DTaking naps regularly is beneficial to peoples health.解析：选D推理判断题。根据文章的最后一段特别是“A daily nap gives one a more rested body and mind and therefore is good for health in general.”可知D项正确。根据“Many working people, unfortunately, have no time to take naps.”可知A项错误；B项是对“Though doctors may advise taking naps, employers dont follow it！”的曲解；C项说法太绝对，故应排除。6What can we infer from the passage?AIf you get up at 6：30 am, youd better take a nap at about 1：30 pm.BTaking a nap whenever you want will do good to your health.CYou will feel less sleepy if you sleep for a long time.DYoull feel sleepy at regular intervals.解析：选D推理判断题。由第二段的“Remember that the best time to take a nap is about eight hours after you get up.”可知A项错误；由文章最后一段的倒数第二、三句可知，午睡太长或太晚都会使人感到疲劳，故C项错误；午睡应有合适的时间，想睡就睡对身体无益，故B项错误；根据第一段的“At that time about eight hours . slow down and feel sleepy.” 可知到某个时候通常会感到困倦，故D项正确。7What would be the best title for the text?AJust for a RestBAll for a Nap CA Special Sleep PatternDTaking Naps in Warmer Climates解析：选B标题归纳题。文章主要介绍了午休对身体有很大的好处，因此建议大家如果有可能的话，都养成午休的习惯。故选B。C(2016东北三省四市第一次联考)Many foreign students report feeling lonely or unwelcome in Australia. Those feelings are among the reasons why Australia is taking a close look at its international education industry. But wherever international students go, making friends may not always be easy. Elisabeth Gareis of Baruch College in New York surveyed 454 international students. They were attending fouryear colleges and graduate schools in the American South and Northeast.Students from Englishspeaking countries and from northern and central Europe were more likely to be happy with their friendships. But 38% of the international students said they had no close friends in the United States. And half of the students from East Asia said they were unhappy with the number of American friends they had. Thirty percent said they wished their friendships could be deeper and more meaningful.Professor Gareis says, “Students from East Asia have cultures that are different on many levels from the culture in the United States. There are also language problems, and maybe some social skills, such as small talks, which are possibly not as important in their native countries, where its not as important to start friendships with small talks. Many East Asian students blamed themselves for their limited friendships with Americans, for not speaking the language well enough and for not knowing the culture well enough.”VOAs Students Union blogger Jessica Stahl did her own survey to find out how American students and foreign students relate to each other. More than 100 students, about half of them American, answered her online questions. Half of the international students and 60% of the Americans said they related as well or better to the other group than to their own group.Professor Gareis says, “International students who make friends with host nationals are, overall, more satisfied with their stay in the host country. They have better language skills, better academic performance and better attitudes toward the host country.”8What can be the best title for the text?AMaking Friends Is Not Always Easy for Foreign StudentsBStudents from East Asia Are Not Good at Making FriendsCInternational Education Industry in Australia and AmericaDThe Relation between Foreign Students and Host Countries解析：选A标题归纳题。根据第一段的“But wherever international students go, making friends may not always be easy.”可知，本文是围绕着国际留学生不容易交友而进行阐述的。故答案选A。9Professor Gareis tends to think that _.Aculture shock should be blamed for many levels of American cultureBforeign students dont know small talks mean a lot to AmericansCforeign students should learn some basic social skills first of allDforeign students have difficulty making friends for different reasons解析：选D细节理解题。根据第三段内容可知，外国学生难交到朋友是因为文化层次不同、语言以及社交技巧等各方面问题造成的。故答案选D。10How did Jessica Stahl carry out her survey?ABy doing questionnaires from Students Union.BBy asking questions on the Internet.CBy forming the students into groups.DBy doing a survey through VOA.解析：选B细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的“More than 100 students . online questions.”可知，她是通过让学生们在网上回答问题而开展调查的。故答案选B。11Which of the following statements will the writer probably agree with?AInternational students like to make more friends in their own group.BInternational students are more likely to remain in the host country after graduation.CStudents who make more friends at home have better academic performance.DStudents who make friends in their host countries feel happier with their experience.解析：选D推理判断题。根据最后一段的“International students . in the host country.”可知，那些与东道国学生交友的国际留学生，对自己在东道国的经历更满意。故答案选D。D(2016太原二模)Washington: NASA has announced evidence that Jupiters largest moon, Ganymede, has a saltwater ocean under its icy surface. The ocean seems to have more water than all the water on Earths surface, according to new Hubble observations.New Hubble observations of Ganymedes magnetic field strongly suggest that the moon, which is the largest in our whole solar system, is home to a subsurface ocean.Scientists estimate that the oceanis 95 kilometres thick, which is about 10 times deeper than Earths oceans. But unlike our salty waters, Ganymedes ocean is buried under 150 kilometres of ice.While scientists have speculated (推测) since the 1970s about the presence of an ocean on Ganymede the largest moon in our solar system until now the only observational evidence came from a brief flyby by the Galileo spacecraft, which didnt observe the moon long enough to confirm a liquid ocean.This discovery marks an important milestone, highlighting what only Hubble can accomplish. In its 25 years in orbit, Hubble has made many scientific discoveries in our own solar system. A deep ocean under the icy surface of Ganymede opens up further exciting possibilities for life beyond Earth.Scientists_have_already_confirmed_the_existence_of_an_ocean_on_Europa,_another moon orbiting Jupiter, and NASA has announced plans to send an unmanned mission there searching for the life that might come with liquid water.Hubble is a telescope that orbits Earth, but because of its impressive gravitational analyses it can be used to study the inside of far distant planets. Using these same principles, scientists could theoretically detect oceans on distant exoplanets as well.语篇解读：本文是一篇新闻报道。NASA证实木星的最大卫星Ganymede上有海洋，这一发现再次拓宽了科学家的视野，使探寻太阳系内地球以外的生命的努力更进了一步。12.What can we learn about Ganymede from the passage?AIt is a planet with the largest moon in our whole solar system.BIts ocean adds to peoples excitement about life beyond Earth.CIt will be used by NASA as a base for the Hubble telescope.DIts liquid ocean was first proved by the Galileo spacecraft.解析：选B推理判断题。根据第五段最后一句可知，木星卫星Ganymede上海洋的存在激发了人们探索地球以外的生命的热情。故选B项。13Which of the following best describes the writers attitude towards Hubble?ACautious.BDoubtful.CNegative.
