I roll out of bed and walk blindly through the dark into the bathroom. I turn on the light and put on my glasses. The house is still as I walk downstairs while my husband and three kids sleep peacefully. Usually I go for a long run, but today I choose my favorite exercise DVD, Insanity. Sweat pours down my face and into my eyes. My heart races as I force my body to finish each movement. As I near the end of the exercise, I feel extremely tired, but a smile is on my face. It’s not a smile because the DVD is over, but a smile of success from pushing my body to its extreme limit.‎ Some people enjoy shopping, smoking, food, work, or even chocolate. But I need exercise to get through each day. Some shake heads when they see me run through the town. Others get hurt when I refuse to try just one bite of their grandmother’s chocolate cake. They raise their eyebrows, surprised by my ＂no thank you＂, or by my choice to have a salad. Over the years, I have learned it’s okay to just say ＂no＂. I shouldn’t feel sorry for refusing food that I don’t want to eat.‎ So what drives me to roll out of bed at 5:‎00 a.m.? What gives me the reason to just say no to ice cream? Commitment. A commitment to change my life with a way that reduces daily anxiety, increases self-confidence and energy, extends life and above all improves my body shape. This is the point where a smile appears on my face as I look at myself in the mirror or try on my favorite pair of jeans that now fit just right. It’s through commitment and sweat that I can make a difference within myself inside and out.‎ ‎4. Why is there a smile on the author’s face in the morning?‎ A. Because she sees her family sleeping peacefully.‎ B. Because she finishes her favorite exercise.‎ C. Because she enjoys the interesting DVD D. Because she feels a sense of achievement.‎ ‎5. Which of the following is true according to Paragraph 2?‎ A. She doesn’t treat others politely.‎ B. She likes to make others surprised.‎ C. Others don’t understand what she does.‎ D. Others try to help her by offering her food.‎ ‎6. What does the underlined word ＂commitment＂ in the last paragraph mean?‎ A. Good health. B. Firm belief.‎ C. A strong power. D. A regular habit.‎ ‎7. What can we learn about the author from the text?‎ A. She acts in a strange way.‎ B. She wants to look different from others.‎ C She aims to develop a good body shape.‎ D. She has difficulty getting along with others.‎ ‎【答案】4. D 5. C 6. B 7. C ‎【解析】‎ 本文是一篇记叙文。文章叙述了作者不辞辛苦地坚持锻炼，有时还不为他人所理解的故事；她只为自己的坚定信念，即通过锻炼来改变自己。‎ ‎【4题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句话“It’s through commitment and sweat that I can make a difference within myself inside and out.”可知作者脸上的微笑不是因为DVD的结束，而是因为一种成功的微笑，因为自己锻炼挑战了身体的极限。故选D。‎ ‎【5题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中“shake heads(摇了摇头)”和“raise their eyebrows(扬起眉毛)”可知，别人并不理解作者锻炼身体的行为。故选C。‎ ‎【6题详解】‎ 词义猜测题。根据文章第二段“So what drives me to roll out of bed at 5:‎00 a.m.? What gives me the reason to just say no to ice cream?” 和“A commitment to change my life with a way that reduces daily anxiety, increases self-confidence and energy, extends life and above all improves my body shape.”可知，作者每天很早起床锻炼，抵御住美味的诱惑，需要坚定的信念和意志力。从而猜测出commitment为“信奉，坚信，深信不疑”之意。故选B。‎ ‎【7题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据全文特别是最后一段中的“…above all improves my body shape.”可知，作者如此坚持锻炼身体的目的是为了塑造一个好的体型。故选C。‎ C Festivals in India are the special occasions when the country holds many celebrations. Socially, the whole nation becomes active in celebrations. This is the main reason why festivals in India are celebrated by the whole society. On such occasions, families will get together, exchange gifts and greetings, and take part in a lot of celebrations and even special fairs. All these are done to keep the festive spirit alive in modern times.‎ What is special about these celebrations in India is that people celebrate their common culture in their communities. There is a wide variety of festivals in India because of the presence(存在)of many different religions, beliefs, ideas and cultures. It is even said that some places in the country celebrate festivals 365 days a year. They are mainly religious festivals, cultural festivals and tourist festivals that are organized to keep the traditions, values and heritage of the region.‎ Religious festivals are celebrated as part of the Indian belief system. They are organized to honor spiritual personalities and events related to the journey of a religion. Cultural festivals in India are organized to provide a platform for different forms of music, dance and other art. To keep their artistic traditions alive and even make them become more popular in the future, many cities in India are active in cultural events. The rich cultural heritage of India attracts the Western world during the celebration of important festivals such as Onam, Holi and Durga Puja. Tourist festivals in the country are organized to celebrate the heritage of the land for tourism purposes. These celebrations every year bring good results and attract a large number of tourists, both within the country and abroad.‎ These festivals in India focus on enriching people’s "Indian" experience in the most real way.

In fact, they move much more quickly than they should according to their size and the laws of physics. Scientists do not completely understand why the speed of these stars is so high. But many believe the reason is that much of the universe is made up of something called "dark matter". Groups of stars called galaxies, such as the Milky Way, might even consist of ninety per cent dark matter.‎ How much something weighs depends on where it is. The same object weighs only half as much on Mars as it does on Earth and almost three times as much on Jupiter. So scientists prefer to talk about the mass of something rather than how much it weighs, because mass does not change. They can work out the mass of galaxies by measuring the distance between them and the speed they move. Recently, Dr. Jorge Penarrubia and a team from Edinburgh University discovered something interesting. The mass of the Milky Way is only half as much as the mass of another nearby galaxy, Andromeda. This seems strange, but dark matter may explain why.‎ Finding out more about dark matter could help us understand how the universe began, but this is not easy. Lots of scientists with different types of expert knowledge are working on the problem. The Edinburgh team is working with many other universities like the University of British Columbia.‎ We can't see dark matter, it's very difficult to measure and we can't find out its mass. Unlike stars, dark matter doesn't produce or reflect light. But we can make a good guess that it is there because of the way things move and the way light bends. Experts now think dark mater may be very different from the mater which we find on Earth. There may also be five times as much dark matter in the universe as ordinary matter.‎ The Swiss scientist Fritz Zwicky first gave dark matter its name in the nineteen-thirties. Researchers have been looking for it ever since. Today, technology such as the Large Hadron Collider is collecting more and more information but this technology cannot tell us everything. New ‎ ways of finding dark matter will be needed. Investigating dark matter may even mean we will need to start asking questions about the way we look at the universe, including the ideas of Albert Einstein.‎ ‎12. In what way do scientists find out the mass of galaxies？‎ A. Depending on where they are.‎ B. Depending on how much they weigh.‎ C. According to the way they move and the laws of physics.‎ D. By calculating how far between them and how fast they move.‎ ‎13. Which of the following statements about dark matter is NOT TRUE？‎ A. It can't be seen.‎ B. It doesn't reflect light.‎ C. It is not unlike ordinary matter.‎ D. It affects the movement of things.‎ ‎14. What may get researchers looking for dark matter？‎ A To change the way light bends.‎ B. To prove the ideas of Albert Einstein.‎ C. To collect more and more information.‎ D. To help understand the origin of the universe.‎ ‎15. How is the article organized？‎ ‎(P: Paragraph)‎ A. B. ‎ C. D. ‎ ‎16. Which heading best matches Paragraph 5?‎ A. It's there but we can't see it.‎ B. Sharing ideas leads to success.‎ C. We may need to change the way we think.‎ D. What your eyes can see can't be fully explained,‎ ‎【答案】12. D 13. C 14. D 15. D 16. C ‎【解析】‎ 本文是一篇科普说明文，主要介绍了人们对宇宙中的黑暗物质的认知及研究。‎ ‎【12题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第二段第四句“They can work out the mass of galaxies by measuring the distance between them and the speed they move. ”可知科学家们根据星星之间的距离和移动速度计算出银河系的质量。故D项正确。‎ ‎【13题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句“There may also be five times as much dark matter in the universe as ordinary matter.”可知黑暗物质和普通的物质并不相同。故C项说法是错误的。所以选择C项。‎ ‎【14题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据第三段前两句“Finding out more about dark matter could help us understand how the universe began, but this is not easy. Lots of scientists with different types of expert knowledge are working on the problem.”可知很多不同领域的科学家研究黑暗物质是因为它可以帮助我们理解宇宙是如何开始的，也就是帮助我们理解宇宙的起源。故D项正确。‎ ‎【15题详解】‎ 推理判断题。本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了宇宙中的黑暗物质。第一段告诉我们宇宙中星星的移动速度很快的现象；第二段介绍了质量和重量的差别。第二段最后一句是承上启下句，由此引出第三、四段最黑暗物质的介绍。最后一段介绍了科学家对于黑暗物质研究的过程，我们要用新的方法来研究黑暗物质。故D项中的篇章结构是正确的。‎ ‎【16题详解】‎ 段落大意题。根据本段三四句“Today, technology such as the Large Hadron Collider is collecting more and more information but this technology cannot tell us everything. New ways of finding dark matter will be needed.”可知the Large Hadron Collider等并不能告诉我们与黑暗物质相关的所有信息，我们需要新的研究方法。C项与本段中心思想一致，故选择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。‎ Tips to Be an Expert at Managing Your Time Do you have too much to do and too little time?

C 21. A ‎【解析】‎ 本文介绍了一些成为管理时间专家的技巧。如向专家学习、乐于接受新思想、制定计划、专注于关键任务等，便于读者学习和交流。‎ ‎【17题详解】‎ 根据下文“Learn from the experts.”“Be open to new ideas.”等等之类的小标题可知，下文在叙述一些成为管理时间专家的窍门。而空白处必然会引起下文，起承上启下的作用。结合选项，故选G。‎ ‎【18题详解】‎ 根据空白处前一句“If you want to be a big success in any area,find out what other successful people in that area are doing.”可知，如果你想在任何领域取得巨大的成功，找出在这个领域成功的人所做的事。根据标题也可知本段讲述的是向专家学习。关键词“find out”“successful people”。结合选项，F项中“Study”“them”与之对应。故选F。‎ ‎【19题详解】‎ 根据空白处前一句“the person,who feels that he already knows all that's needed to know on the subject”可知，有些人觉得他已经知道所有需要知道的内容。而本段标题“Be open to new ideas.”是指要接受打开新思想。可见有很多内容都需要学习。结合选项，故选E。‎ ‎【20题详解】‎ 根据前一句“Successful men and women are both effective and efficient”指出成功的男人和女人都是高效的。可推测后文会对这一句进行解释说明，才能进一步引出Develop a plan。结合选项。故选C。‎ ‎【21题详解】‎ 根据空白处所在的位置看，此处是一个小标题，是对整段的总结。根据段落中“Focusing on your highest-value tasks is the starting point of getting your time under control”可知，本段要求你专注于你最有价值的任务是控制你的时间的起点。关键词“Focusing”。结合选项，故选A。‎ 第二部分：英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节：完形填空（共20小题;每题1.5分，满分30分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ Few Americans stay in one place for a lifetime.
