【題目】 (an extract from a detective story)

…

"Sit down, " Henderson said, sitting down in an armchair himself and looking at Logan. "What are you here for?"

"I understand you had a party last night" said Logan, a police officer.

"Yes," said Henderson, "Oh! I hope the neighbours haven’t been complaining about the noise again. "

"Not that I know of." said Logan. "But a young girl, Fran, who came to the patty hasn't been home yet"

"Fran" said Henderson. "Yes, she was here. She left early, as I remember-about one o'clock. I happened to notice what the time was when she came to say goodbye. But nobody else left until about four in the morning."

Henderson looked quite relaxed.

"Did you know Clare?" asked Logan suddenly.

"Oh, God!" Henderson sat forward. "You don't think ... the same thing has happened to Fran?"

"We're keeping an open mind," said Logan, watching him carefully, "but we're giving it our full attention."

Well, yes. I can understand that. " replied Henderson, getting comfortable in the armchair again.

"So," repeated Logan, "did you know Clare?"

"Well, sure. I knew who she was. But we never had anything to do with each other." Said Henderson, giving Logan a big smile.

"Who else was at your party?" asked Logan.

"People from the university," said Henderson. "Students, teachers."

"David?" asked Grant, Logan's partner.

"Yes, David was here for a time." Henderson smiled again. "But he's not really a party animal. He probably left early."

"What do you mean, probably?" asked Grant.

Henderson looked at Grant. Grant was sixty with thick black hair and a large moustache. His clothes, as always, looked rather old: a blue jacket and grey trousers. He did not look much of a party animal either.

"Well, I don't check when my guests arrive and leave," said Henderson. "And some people just leave when they want to go home. They don't come and say goodbye. Anyway, sometimes I can be difficult to find." Again he looked at Logan, raised his eyebrows and gave her a big smile. "I sometimes end up in the bedroom"

…

【1】How many characters are mentioned in the story?

A. Five.B. Six.C. Seven.D. Eight

【2】Why did Logan and Grant go to Henderson's house?

A. Because the girl Fran who attended the party disappeared.

B. Because they went to the party held in, Henderson's house.

C. Because Henderson's neighbours called them for the noise.

D. Because they wanted to know why Henderson held the party.

【3】What can be inferred (推斷) from Grant's question "What do you mean, probably?"?

A. Grant helped Logan to ask this question.

B. Grant didn't understand Henderson's words.

C. Grant himself wasn't a party animal like David.

D. Grant wanted to know the exact time of David's leaving.

【答案】

【1】B

【2】A

【3】D

【解析】

這篇短文是一個(gè)偵探故事的節(jié)選，Henderson舉行了一個(gè)聚會(huì)，但有一個(gè)叫Fran的女孩從那以后一直沒有回家，她失蹤了。因此警察Logan和他的搭檔Grant來向Henderson了解聚會(huì)的一些情況。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第一段"Sit down, " Henderson said, sitting down in an armchair himself and looking at Logan.、短文第四段said Logan. "But a young girl, Fran, who came to the patty hasn't been home yet"、第七段"Did you know Clare?" asked Logan suddenly.以及第十五段"David?" asked Grant, Logan's partner.可知，文章中提到了Henderson, Logan, Fran, Clare, David和Grant一共六個(gè)人物。故應(yīng)選B。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第四段"Not that I know of." said Logan. "But a young girl, Fran, who came to the patty hasn't been home yet"可知，因?yàn)橐粋�(gè)來參加聚會(huì)的叫Fran的女孩失蹤了，因此警察來找Henderson進(jìn)行調(diào)查。故應(yīng)選A。

【3】推理判斷題。根據(jù)語境"Yes, David was here for a time." Henderson smiled again. "But he's not really a party animal. He probably left early."

"What do you mean, probably?" asked Grant.

"Well, I don't check when my guests arrive and leave," said Henderson.可知，Henderson說David可能很早就離開了，Logan和他的搭檔Grant對這個(gè)模糊的回答不滿意，他們想要知道David離開晚會(huì)的具體時(shí)間，故應(yīng)選D。

【題目】 Are you afraid of going to the dentist(牙醫(yī))? If so, you're not alone.

These fears could just be in our heads, however. According to a recent survey by Martin Tickle, a professor at Manchester University in the UK, the pain isn’t felt most of the time in dental surgeries(牙科手術(shù)). In fact. among the 451 interviewed patients，75％ reported no pain at all during their visits, including situations when they had their teeth pulled out.

Could it be the sound of the drill(鉆頭)then?

“I found that the sound of drilling can evoke deep worry in dental patients. Actually they don’t have any pain. " Hiroyuki Karibe, a scientist at Nippon Dental University in Tokyo, told the Guardian.

To find the reason why a drill might bring on a racing heart, Karibe divided the volunteers into low-fear and high-fear groups based on how much they feared a trip to the dentist. Volunteers were played the sound of a drill while their brain activities were watched by a machine.

What Karibe found in the low-fear group was increased activity in the areas of the brain relative to auditory processing(聽覺處理)， which means， for these people， the sound of dental drills is no different from other sounds

In the high-fear group, however, the brain area that was activated(激活)was different. It was the area that carries out a number of duties, including learning, feelings and, most importantly, memory. This means that these volunteers not only heard the sound, but they remembered it-they made connections between the sound of a drill and the worry it produced in the past, causing their worry to return.

Understanding how brains reply to the sounds of dentists ' drills could help scientists find ways to make patients more relaxed, according to Karibe, because patients who worry about going to the dentist might keep putting off their visits. But the best way is to keep your teeth healthy.

【1】How does the writer explain that the pain isn’t felt most of the time in dental surgeries?

A. By showing facts with numbers.B. By asking questions one by one.

C. By giving examples group by group. D. By comparing results of patients.

【2】According to the fourth paragraph, what does the word "evoke” mean in Chinese?

A. 減輕B. 引起C. 顯示D. 阻止

【3】How did the sound of drilling produce different results to the volunteers in the study?

A. It produced some worry in the volunteers in the low-fear group

B. For the low-fear group, it activated the brain area dealing with learning, feelings and memory

C. For the high-fear group, it caused more activities in the brain area relative to auditory processing.

D. It made people in the high-fear group remember their past uncomfortable memories.

【4】What is the last paragraph mainly about?

A. How the study might be useful.

B. Some new ways to treat teeth

C. The proper way to treat dental patients.

D. The importance of keeping our teeth healthy.

【5】What's the purpose of the passage?

A. To show us different areas of fear in brains.

B. To introduce us a recent survey by a scientist.

C. To help us have less fear of a trip to the dentist.

D. To make it clear that the sound of drilling is not terrible.

【題目】 Do you often run outdoors to keep healthy？Have you ever thought about how running helps to clean up the earth？Sometimes a creative mind can bring us a win-win（雙贏）situation.

Plogging，a new way to exercise，began in Sweden（瑞典）. The name “plogging” comes from two words-the Swedish（瑞典的）word "plocka”，which means" to pick up（撿起）”，and the word “jogging”，which means" “to run slowly”. A Swedish man called Erik started the movement. He saw rubbish here and there when riding to work each day. He became worried about the dirty environment and decided not to go to work by bike any more. Instead，he began to run to work and pick up the rubbish at the same time.

To his joy，more and more people followed him and soon plogging became popular.

Many people choose plogging instead of just jogging because they think plogging is a good way to help clean up the earth. Sometimes rubbish is difficult to collect because it may scatter all around. But if the runners pick up the rubbish on the way，it is quite different. After all，many hands make light work. Another reason is that plogging burns more calories（卡路里）. According to a research，plogging for 10minutes burns 48 calories，while usual jogging for 10 minutes burns about 39 calories.

Everyone on the earth should play a part in cleaning it up！It's time for us to take action together. So ready？Let's plog tomorrow！

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容選擇最佳答案。

【1】The underlined（劃線的）word "scatter" in the passage means" ___________"in Chinese.

A. 爆炸B. 集中C. 散落

A. he became worriedB. he kept riding to work every day

C. he didn't care and did nothing about it

【3】People choose plogging because______________.

B. riding bikes is harmful to their health

【4】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage？
