分分 A Our aim is to take our art to the world and make people understand what it is to move said David Belle the founder of parkour 跑酷 Do you love running It is a good exercise yet many people find it boring But what if making your morning jog a creative one Like jumping from walls and over gaps and ground rolls Just like the James Bond in the movie Casino Royale Bond jumps down from a roof to a windowsill and then runs several blocks over obstacles on the way It is just because of Bond s wonderful performances that the sport has become popular worldwide Yes that s parkour an extreme street sport aimed at moving from one point to another as quickly as possible getting over all the obstacles in the path using only the abilities of the human body Parkour is considered as an extreme sport As its participants dash around a city they may jump over fences run up walls and even move from rooftop to rooftop Parkour can be just as exciting and charming as it sounds but its participants see parkour much more than that Overcoming all the obstacles on the course and in life is part of the philosophy 理念 behind parkour This is the same as life You must determine your destination go straight jump over all the barriers as if in parkour and never fall back from them in your life to reach the destination successfully A parkour lover said I love parkour because its philosophy has become my life my way to do everything Another philosophy we ve learnt from parkour is freedom It can be done by anyone at any time anywhere in the world It is a kind of expression of trust in yourself that you 4 earn energy and confidence 26 Parkour has become popular throughout the world because of A its founder David Belle B the film Casino Royale C its risks and tricks D the varieties of participants 27 The underlined word obstacles in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to A streetsB objectsC barriersD roofs 28 Which of the following is TRUE of parkour A It challenges human abilities B It is a good but boring sport C It needs special training D It is a team sport 29 As its participants move around a city A they can ask for help B they may choose to escape C they should run to extremes D they

has overtaken the family dog as man s best friend according to a study Researchers found that just 6 per cent of us believe that most people rely more on their dog than they do on their PC while 67 5 per cent think the opposite to be true Even 38 per cent of dog owners admit relying more on their PC than on their dog although 36 per cent disagree And 71 per cent of 18 to 24 year old dog owners said they relied more on their computer Paul Allen editor of Computer Active magazine which conducted the poll with the Royal Society For The Protection Of Cruelty to Animals said These days you can even take your PC for a walk provided you have a laptop or tablet PC It s only a matter of time until the first PC that fetches your slippers Researchers questioned 2 000 British adults to find out about the change modern technology has brought to their home life They found that male dog owners are almost twice as likely as female owners to rely on their computer than a canine companion Mr Allen said With broadband bringing them global news and newspaper sales falling the family dog even misses out on the pleasure of taking the paper to his owner But it s not all bad news for honest dogs The family PC has given dog owners access to a wealth of resources and information that can help with the long term care that a dog needs Mr Allen said 31 According to the statistics rely more on their computers A dog owners aged from 18 to 24 B female dog owners C British adults D 36 of the people 32 Which of the following is the advantage that computers have brought to dogs A They can go out for a walk with their owners B They can be better looked after C They won t have to take paper to their owners D They can get on well with their owners 33 The family dog even misses out on the pleasure of taking the paper to his owner because 6 A people gradually lose their interest in newspapers B family dogs don t want to do that any more C people don t want to read newspapers D people prefer to use computers for news and information 34 The underlined word provided means in the passage A offeredB supposed C as long asD even though 35 The purpose of the writer of writing the passage is to tell us A more and more people choose to use computers B computers have reached every aspect of our life C personal computers will replace family dogs as man s best friends D family dogs are not as useful as they used to be C Kids with type 1 diabetes who spend hours in front of a TV or computer each day may have poorer blood sugar control a new study suggests It s not clear why the relationship exists and the findings do not prove that screen time itself worsens kids diabetes control But factors like obesity exercise habits and family income did not explain the connection the study found Among 296 children teens and young adults with type 1 diabetes those who spent four or more hours per day in front of a TV or computer had higher hemoglobin A1C levels a measure of blood sugar control over the past few months On average their hemoglobin A1C was 9 3 percent versus about 8 5 percent among their peers who spent less time in front of a screen Experts recommend that adults keep their A1C levels below 7 percent while levels in children and teens can go as high as 8 5 percent depending on their age The goal of reining in blood sugar is to help reduce the risk of long term diabetes complications 并发症 which range from heart and kidney disease to nerve damage to vision 7 loss Exactly why screen time was connected to blood sugar control in this study is not clear according to the researchers led by Dr Angela Galler of Charite Universitatsmedizin Berlin in Germany One possibility they say is that kids who spend more time in front of the TV or computer snack more often So it may be more difficult to control their blood sugar than when they stick with more regular meals People with type 1 diabetes have to inject insulin every day generally timed around meals to control their blood sugar levels But while snacking could be a culprit this study cannot really prove that screen time is at all to blame for the poorer blood sugar control according to Dr Sanjeev Mehta a diabetes specialist who was not involved in the research One limitation of the study is that it measured kids screen time and their blood sugar control at one time point 36 What is the passage mainly talking about A Kids with type 1 diabetes like watching TV or sitting in front of a computer B Kids who spent four or more hours per day in front of a TV or computer suffer from type 1 diabetes C Snacking while watching TV or playing in front of a computer develops type 1 diabetes D Screen time may worsen type 1 diabetes in kids 37 The underlined word reining means A improvingB developing C controlD balance 38 Why may kids with type 1 diabetes have poorer blood sugar control according to the study A Because they spend too long time in front of the screen B Because spending long time in front of the screen has direct connection with poorer blood sugar control C Because of the bad habits companied with their screen time 8 D Because of their obesity exercise habits and family income 39 We can infer from the passage that A kids who spent four or more hours per day in front of a TV or computer may develop type 1 diabetes B obesity exercise habits and family income may contribute to diabetes C snacking in front of the TV or computer may cause diabetes D teens develop diabetes more easily than adults 40 Dr Sanjeev Mehta believes that A the study is believable B the study is unbelievable C snacking is not to blame for the poorer blood sugar control D the measure of kids screen time and their blood sugar is limited at one time point D 2012 杭州模拟 Any discussion of English conversation like any English conversation must begin with the weather And in this spirit of observing traditional rule I shall quote Dr Johnson s famous comment that When two English meet their first talk is about the weather and point out that this observation is as accurate now as it was over two hundred years ago This however is the point at which most people either stop or try and fail to come up with a convincing explanation for the English addiction to the weather They fail because their premise 前提 is mistaken they assume that our conversations about the weather are conversations about the weather In other words they assume that we talk about the weather because we have a keen interest in the subject Most of them then try to figure out what it is about the English weather that is so fascinating Bill Bryson for example concludes that the English weather is not at all fascinating and that our addiction to it is therefore very difficult to explain To an outsider the most striking thing about the English weather is that there is not very much of it All those phenomena that elsewhere give nature an edge of excitement unpredictability and danger tornados monsoons hailstorms are almost wholly unknown in the British Isles 9 Jeremy Paxman takes offence at Bryson s comments and argues that the English weather is truly fascinating Bryson misses the point The interest is less in the phenomena themselves but in uncertainty one of the few things you can say about England with absolute certainty is that it has a lot of weather It may not include tropical cyclones but life at the edge of an ocean and the edge of a continent means you can never be entirely sure what you re going to get My research has convinced me that both Bryson and Paxman are missing the point which is that our conversations about the weather are not really about the weather at all English weather speak is a form of code developed to help us overcome our natural reserve 含蓄 and actually talk to each other Everyone knows for example that Nice day isn t it Oh isn t it cold and other variations on the theme are not requests for weather data they are greetings or conversation starters In other words English weather speak is a form of cleaning talk the human equivalent of what is known as social cleaning among our primate 灵长类的 cousins where they spend hours cleaning each other s fur even when they are perfectly clean as a means of social connection 41 According to the author most people s explanations for the English love for weather talk are A scientificB incorrect C fascinatingD accurate 42 As is stated in the passage most people try to find out A why the English weather is so unique B whether the English enjoy their weather C why the English are so interested in the topic of weather D whether the English really talk about weather when they do so 43 In Bill Bryson s opinion the English addiction to their weather is A understandableB convincing C respectableD unreasonable 44 Disapproving of Bill Bryson s opinion Jeremy Paxman argues that 10 A the English talk about their weather because it is unpredictable B the English don t talk about weather as often as the outsiders think C the English weather can be as exciting as anywhere else s D the English weather talk is merely a form of small talk 45 According to the author English weather speak is similar to primates social cleaning in that they are both A ways of greeting B means social connection C fascinating topics between people D phenomena difficult to understand to outsiders 第二节第二节 信息匹配 共信息匹配 共 5 5 小题 每小题小题
