However, the particular benefits of artistic expression go much further. Studies suggest that art therapy (疗法) can be very valuable in treating issues such as depression and anxiety disorder. It is a great way to express your emotions without words, process complex feelings and find relief. You don’t necessarily have to see a therapist in order to experience some of the benefits of artistic expression. There are many simple activities you can try from the comfort of your home such as art journaling, drawing, making collections, sculpting with clay, etc. It doesn’t matter what media you choose. The only thing that matters is that you feel comfortable using it. Human beings are naturally creative, and all you need to do to complete an art therapy activity successfully is to be with yourself and your emotions. Once you free your creativity, your inner artist will quickly wake up. However, working with a licensed therapist also has its advantage because a professional can tailor each activity to your own needs. If the activities are done in a group, they are excellent for building healthy connections with other people, which may be very helpful if you are fighting depression. Experts agree that art therapy has many benefits, from promoting your self-respect, and providing you a safe outlet to relieve your emotions, to giving you a sense of control over your life and helping you to get to know and understand yourself better. During the process of art creation, you will be taking yourself on a journey of self-discovery that will help you get rid of emotional roadblocks, and learn how to communicate with yourself and others. 4. What is art therapy used for? A. Learning drawing skills. B. Expressing art with words. C. Preventing physical diseases. D. Improving mental health. 5. To finish a successful art therapy, you’d better ________. A. have a gift for art B. have a strong will C. be honest with yourself D. hold back your emotions 6. Why are group activities needed when dealing with depression? A. To set an example. B. to promote communication. C. To build up friendships. D. To wake up the inner artist. 7.

But research published in a psychology journal calls them neurotic (神经质的) and unstable. Researchers from the University of Edinburgh in Scotland and the Bronx Zoo in New York compared the personalities of domestic house cats with those of four different types of wildcats. To better understand their personalities, the researchers rated a number of animals behaviors on what psychologists call the Big Five human personality traits (特征). Domestic house cats have similar personality structures to African lions. “It’s what cats do pretty much on a daily basis, things like being anxious, being timid, being excitable, being aggressive toward humans, being aggressive toward each other, ”said Max Wachtel, a Denver psychologist who didn’t participate in the study. “All of those are characteristics you see in those cute little house cats, and you also see them in lions.” If you ever thought your cat was anxious, insecure, tense, suspicious or aggressive toward you, you aren’t making it up, he said. If they were bigger, they probably would consider killing you. But the news isn’t all bad: Just like lions, house cats are also playful, excitable and impulsively funny. They just aren’t very predictable. One moment cats will be enjoying bell scratches, and the next they will be biting you to make you stop. “It is good to understand the personality characteristics of our pets,” Wachtel said “Different cats have different personalities, but as a species, there are a lot of commonalities.” The researchers also studied personality traits of Scottish wildcats and some other animals “Across the five species we assessed, personality structure was strikingly similar and also seemed to be related to other studies’ findings, such as in tigers,” the researchers wrote in their study in the November 2014 issue of the Journal of Comparative Psychology. But house cats were most like lions, potentially because they live in semi-social surroundings and lions are the most social of cats. “They’re cute and furry, but we need to remember when we have cats as pets, we are inviting little predators into our house,” Wachtel said. “Cats can be fantastic, sweet companions—until they turn on you.” 8. Cats can be described as _____. A. funny and safe B. playful and stable C. fantastic and devoted D. neurotic and unpredictable 9 How did the researchers conduct the research? A. By making comparisons. B. By analyzing cause and effect. C. By giving examples. D. By providing explanations. 10. Which of the following “turn on” shares the same meaning as the underlined phrase? A. The book really turned me on to science. B. Upon entering the room, he turned on the light. C. The hungry suddenly turned on each other for food. D. The trial turned on the medical evidence presented by the defense. 11. Which of the following can be used as a suitable title? A. Cats are best pets. B. Domestic cats and wildcats. C. Your cat may want to kill you. D. Different cats, different personalities. 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. C 11. C 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段People think of cats as cute. But research published in a psychology journal calls them neurotic (神经质的) and unstable.(但是发表在心理学杂志上的研究称它们是神经质和不稳定的)可知,猫是神经质的;根据第五段They just aren’t very predictable.( 它们只是不太容易预测)可知,猫也是难以预测的。故选D。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段Researchers from the University of Edinburgh in Scotland and the Bronx Zoo in New York compared the personalities of domestic house cats with those of four different types of wildcats.(来自苏格兰爱丁堡大学和纽约布朗克斯动物园的研究人员比较了家猫和四种不同野猫的性格)可知,研究者的研究方法是比较法。故选A。 【10题详解】 词义猜测题。根据最后一段中划线词所在句Cats can be fantastic, sweet companions -until they turn on you.(猫可以是奇妙的、可爱的伙伴——直到它们turn on你)可知,画线词与前文的描述是相对的,故turn on意思为“攻击,袭击”。结合选项:A. The book really turned me on to science.这本书让我对科学感兴趣;B. Upon entering the room, he turned on the light.他一进屋就把灯打开了;C. The hungry suddenly turned on each other for food.这些饥肠辘辘的人突然互相袭击取食;D. The trial turned on the medical evidence presented by the defense.这次审判取决于这份由被告律师呈上的医学证明。由此可知,C项符合题意。故选C。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。整篇文章讲述了猫看似可爱,但通过实验表明猫与狮子有许多相似的特性,会喜怒无常无法预测。A. Cats are best pets.文章并没有提到猫是最好的宠物;B. Domestic cats and wildcats.文章并没有主要描述家猫和野猫,属于以偏概全;D. Different cats, different personalities.文章中有提到不同的猫有不同的性格特点,但不能体现主旨。C. Your cat may want to kill you.你的猫可能会杀了你,能够表现猫潜在的个性特征,这也是这项研究的一个重大发现,适合做本文标题。故选C。 D When the novelist Luis Alberto Urrea was 14 or 15, he took a trip deep into Mexico. He was born in Tijuana to a Mexican father and a white American mother before moving just across the border and eventually into the San Diego suburbs. But his father thought he was becoming “too American,” and took him on a 27-hour journey to Mazatian. Along the way, his father gave him a paperback copy of The Godfather and told him it would change his life. “I don't think he was trying to make a case for us being criminals,” Urrea says, “but he really felt this incredible connection to the family and the traditions and the honor for the old country, as people were making their way in the U.S.” In his new novel The House of Broken Angels, Urrea has written his own opinion on the Godfather story with a Mexican-American Don Corleone figure at its center. The story takes place over two days, as Big Angel de la Cruz buries his mother and celebrates his final birthday party on earth; he knows he's dying, and he's gathered his extended family around him for a noisy and lively goodbye. The idea was inspired by the final birthday party of Urrea's elder brother three years ago. “Everybody was jammed in his backyard, and there was a DJ and people dancing and consuming a serious amount of American junk food-they didn't want Mexican food, they wanted KFC and pizza. I thought, where are the tacos (a kind of Mexican food), guy? And my brother sat in his little chair in the middle of it. People were coming to him and kneeling, and they would thank him and kiss his hand or touch his head and tell him all the ways he had changed their lives.” Urrea's brother died of cancer within two weeks at 74, and the heartbreaking event haunted the author. He considered writing a memoir(回忆录)about it-“I was thinking about Truman Capote, when he did those tiny books about Christmas and Thanksgiving.” But his wife encouraged him to aim bigger. When he found himself seated next to the writer Jim Harrison at a dinner event, he shared the story, and Harrison said, “Sometimes God hands you a novel. You have to write it.” Urrea thought to himself “Marching orders from Jim Harrison-this is good stuff. A kid from Tijuana doesn't get that very often.” The House of Broken Angels is a celebration of the Mexican-American family, but it also includes moments of frustration with this country's treatment of the immigrant group. Before he got too sick to work, Big Angel worked in an office and drank coffee from a cup that read BOSS. “Yeah, the employees all got the message,” Urrea writes. “The Mexican-American was calling himself their boss.” In a grocery store, a woman screams at two of his family members that they'll be kicked out of the country soon. “I had to bite down on the bitterness of my rage(愤怒),man!” Urrea says. “I was having some pretty serious response to Donald Trump's confusing and empty talk. But you know, it may have shocked a lot of the United States to hear this kind of empty talk and this bald-faced racialism of politics all of a sudden, but to us, this stuff isn't a surprise?” “I really wanted to write a tribute(致敬)to my brother, to my family and to us, but it's also a love song to the country,”Urrea says. “I think people have this weird, horrible view...that immigrants are evil snakes. People don't understand that immigration is truly a statement of love for this country, whatever the country represents. People want to be here and work.” And with persistence, they become the boss. 12. Why did Urrea's father give him the book The Godfather? A. He wanted Urrea to enjoy the 27-hour journey. B. He thought the book had changed his own life. C. He tried to show Urrea a real case of criminals. D. He hoped Urrea would feel connected to Mexico. 13. The question “where are the tacos, guy?” in Paragraph 3 probably suggests______. A. Mexican traditions have been left behind B. the people like American junk food best C. it is difficult to buy the Mexican food D. the tacos are popular with everyone there 14. We can learn from Paragraph 5 that______. A. Big Angel himself was the boss of his office B. Mexican immigrants were treated unfairly C. Urrea's family were kicked out of the country D. Urrea heard Trump's talk ahead of time 15. The House of Broken Angels mainly focuses on the novelist's______. A. love for the Mexican-American family B. life in the Mexican-American family C. mixed feelings towards American people D. mature reflection on Mexican traditions 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. B 15. A 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中But his father thought he was becoming “too American”, and took him on a 27-hour journey to Mazatian. Along the way, his father gave him a paperback copy of The Godfather and told him it would change his life.(但他的父亲认为他变得“太美国化”了,于是带他去了马萨提安进行了一趟27个小时的旅程。一路上,他的父亲送给他一本平装版的《教父》,并告诉他这会改变他的一生)可知,Urrea的父亲给了他《教父》这本书是希望Urrea能感受到与墨西哥的联系。故选D项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Everybody was jammed in his backyard, and there was a DJ and people dancing and consuming a serious amount of American junk food - they didn't want Mexican food, they wanted KFC and pizza.(每个人都挤在自家后院,有一个DJ,人们跳舞,吃大量的美国垃圾食品——他们不想要墨西哥食品,他们想要肯德基和披萨) ” 可知,第三段中的问题“墨西哥玉米卷在哪里,伙计?”暗示着墨西哥传统已经被抛在脑后了。故选A项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段第一句中“but it also includes moments of frustration with this country's treatment of the immigrant group(但是它也包含随着这个国家对移民群体的待遇而来的沮丧时刻)”及下文In a grocery store, a woman screams at two of his family members that they’ll be kicked out of the country soon. “I had to bite down on the bitterness of my rage, man!” Urrea says.(在一家杂货店里,一名妇女对他的两名家人尖叫,说他们很快就会被赶出这个国家。“我不得不忍气吞声,伙计!”Urrea说)可知,墨西哥移民受到不公平的待遇。故选B项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中In his new novel The House of Broken Angels, Urrea has written his own take on the Godfather story with a Mexican-American Don Corleone figure at its center.(在他的新小说《破碎的天使之家》中,Urrea以一个墨西哥裔美国人Don Corleone为中心,写了他自己的教父故事)以及最后一段中“I really wanted to write a tribute to my brother, to my family and to us, but it's also a love song to the country,” Urrea says.(“我真的很想为我的兄弟、我的家人和我们写一首颂歌,但这也是一首献给国家的情歌,” Urrea说)可推知,《破碎天使之家》主要讲述了小说家对墨西哥裔美国家庭的爱。故选A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。有两项为多余选项。 Have you ever had someone tell you, “If you eat before bed, you're going to get fat” ___16___ But is eating late at night, specifically after 8 p.m., really going to make you gain weight? One theory is that your metabolism(新陈代谢)slows down when you're asleep. With a slower metabolism, fewer calories are being burned. Thus the calories you eat right before bed would not be bumped off as much as they would be while you're awake. Although the science seems pretty sound, recent studies have shown that metabolism changes very little while you are asleep. The heart is still beating, lungs are still working, and the brain is still very active. ___17___ So while we are asleep, we are still burning calories. ___18___ Carbohydrates(碳水化合物)are one of your body's main sources of energy. When they go unused, they are stored primarily as fat. However, the time of day that carbohydrates are consumed does not play a role as to how much of it is stored as fat. Actually, weight gain is based on the amount of calories being consumed overall and the amount of calories used overall. ___19___ It has little to do with the time when you eat. So how come individuals have higher BMIs when they snack' at night? Although there is a relation between the two, it is simply a result of eating too many calories! Snacks that individuals tend to eat during the night are usually high in sugar and calories, such as ice cream, candy, potato chips, and soft drinks. The time these snacks are consumed does not matter.___20___. A. All of these actions take energy. B. That is to say you will not get fat if you eat before bed. C. Anyone eating anytime after the morning will become fat. D. Food consumed late at night will more likely be stored away. E. Without ever questioning it, people quickly assume this to be true. F. Simply speaking, if you eat more calories than you burn, you will gain weight. G. There's another theory about eating specifically carbohydrates before bed. 【答案】16. E 17. A 18. G 19. F 20. B 【解析】 这是一篇说明文。文章主要就深夜吃东西会不会发胖进行探究。最后结果表明,如果你摄入的卡路里比你燃烧的多,你就会发胖。这和你吃饭的时间没有多大关系。 【16题详解】 根据上文Have you ever had someone tell you, “If you eat before bed, you're going to get fat”( 你有没有听过别人告诉你,“如果你睡前吃东西,你会发胖”)以及下文中But is eating late at night, specifically after 8 p.m., really going to make you gain weight?(但是深夜进食,特别是晚上8点以后,真的会让你发胖吗?)故E项(Without ever questioning it, people quickly assume this to be true)没有人质疑过,人们很快就会认为这是真的。E项中的it指代上文的睡前吃会发胖。故E项承上启下,符合题意。故选E。 【17题详解】 根据上文The heart is still beating, lungs are still working, and the brain is still very active.(心脏还在跳动,肺还在工作,大脑还很活跃)以及下文So while we are asleep, we are still burning calories.(所以当我们睡着的时候,我们仍然在燃烧卡路里。)故A项(All of these actions take energy.)所有这些行动都需要能量。A项中的these指代上文中的“The heart is still beating, lungs are still working, and the brain is still very active”,故A项承上启下,符合题意。故选A。 【18题详解】 根据第二段中第一种理论是One theory is that your metabolism(新陈代谢)slows down when you're asleep.当你睡着的时候,你的新陈代谢会减慢。此处讲的是第二种理论,即Carbohydrates(碳水化合物)are one of your body's main sources of energy. When they go unused, they are stored primarily as fat. However, the time of day that carbohydrates are consumed does not play a role as to how much of it is stored as fat. 碳水化合物是你身体的主要能量来源之一。当它们闲置时,它们主要以脂肪的形式储存。然而,一天中碳水化合物被消耗的时间并不能决定有多少碳水化合物被储存为脂肪。故G项(There's another theory about eating specifically carbohydrates before bed)关于睡前吃碳水化合物还有另一种理论。符合题意。故选G。 【19题详解】 根据上文中Actually, weight gain is based on the amount of calories being consumed overall and the amount of calories used overall. 实际上,体重增加是基于摄入的卡路里总量和的卡路里总量。故F项(Simply speaking, if you eat more calories than you burn, you will gain weight)简单地说,如果你摄入的卡路里比你燃烧的多,你就会发胖。是对上文的简单解释。故F项符合题意。故选F。 【20题详解】 根据上文中Snacks that individuals tend to eat during the night are usually high in sugar and calories, such as ice cream, candy, potato chips, and soft drinks. The time these snacks are consumed does not matter. 人们在夜间吃零食通常含糖量和卡路里都很高,比如冰淇淋、糖果、薯片和软饮料。这些零食的消费时间并不重要。故B项(That is to say, you will not get fat if you eat before bed.)也就是说,如果你睡前吃东西,你不会发胖。B项是对上文的总结,符合题意。故选B。 第三部分 语言运用(共三节,满分40分) 第一节 完形填空(共20小题;每小题1分,满分20分) 请认真阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 I come from a broken family that many would consider dysfunctional (失衡) at the very least: marriage, divorces, etc. After we grew up, my three siblings and I could go years ___21___ speaking.

Bingo! He put all that he prepared for the coming hiking into his backpack. Mr. Taylor was fond of hiking, this time in particular, for it was the first time for him to hike with his two sons, Harry and Joel. Joel liked reading books about explorers and Harry joined the hiking club in his school this term. “It will be an unforgettable experience, definitely.” he whispered to himself, unconsciously a smile spreading over his face. Harry and Joel, however, argued for the first three miles of their hiking trip. Harry accused Joel of wearing smelly old shoes. Joel blamed Harry for using all of the bug spray(喷雾防虫剂). Harry told Joel he smelled terrible. Joel called Harry a coward(懦夫). “Will the two of you just quiet down and enjoy our hike together?” their father said. “You’re missing all of the beautiful scenery!” It was true. Neither Joel nor Harry had taken notice of the bear their father had spied at the start of their trip. They hadn’t looked up at the eagle he pointed out overhead. Worst of all, they hadn’t paid any attention to the turns and twists along the way while they continued their argument. “Joel threw a stick at me!” Harry screamed. “That’s not true!” Joel shouted back. Mr. Taylor could no longer contain his anger. “And both of you need to stop arguing!” he erupted. As he turned to face them, his left foot caught on a root. He slipped backward and down muddy bank, falling into the river that ran alongside the path. Harry and Joel raced to their father’s assistance. They helped him up out of the water, and then dragged his wet backpack up onto land. Fortunately, their wet-through father found himself just slightly injured. 注意: 1. 所续写短文的词数应为 150 左右; 2. 至少使用 5 个短文中标有下划线的关键词语; 3. 续写部分分为两段, 每段的开头语已为你写好; 4. 续写完成后, 请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。 Paragraph 1: But his glasses came off when he fell in the water. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: ”Just calm down.” Mr. Taylor shouted, “Without my glasses, we need to work together to find our way. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Para 1. But his glasses came off when he fell in the water. Harry and Joel waded back into the river. Twigs and leaves swirled around their ankles before floating away on the current. No glasses! Harry thought they might have been swept downstream. But Mr. Taylor couldn’t see without his glasses. Everything was a blur to him now. How could they get home? “Oh great! Now we’re lost,” groaned Joel, “and it might be days before someone finds us.” “No thanks to you.” Harry blamed. Para 2 “Just calm down.” Mr. Taylor shouted, “Without my glasses, we need to work together to find our way.” Mr. Taylor fumbled in his backpack and pulled the map and the compass out. Luckily, Joel learned how to read a map from his books, and Harry knew how to use a compass from his hiking club. They stopped arguing, looked down at the map, searched for the river and used the compass to find the direction. In relief, Mr. Taylor beamed proudly, “You two will save the day. You’re pretty good hiking partners!” 【解析】前文主要讲的是Taylor先生第一次和两个儿子Harry和Joel一起徒步旅行。然而,Harry和Joel为徒步旅行的前三英里而争吵。结果后来惹得Taylor先生生气了,他的左脚被树根缠住了,在泥泞的河岸上滑来滑去,掉进了路旁的河里。两个儿子前去帮助父亲,还好浑身湿透的父亲发现自己只是受了点轻伤。在给的第一段开头中,“But his glasses came off when he fell in the water.”“came off”意思是“掉进”,第二段开头“Just calm down.” Mr. Taylor shouted, “Without my glasses, we need to work together to find our way.”此句中的find our way为关键词,因为后文都围绕这个词在说。 【高分句型1】 Harry thought his glasses might have been swept downstream, without which Mr. Taylor couldn’t see. Harry想他的眼镜可能被冲到下游去了,没有眼镜Taylor先生就看不见。运用“介词+关系代词”结构非限制性定语从句。 【高分句型2】 They stopped arguing and looked down at the map, so that they could search for the river and used the compass to find the direction. 他们停止了争论,低头看了看地图,这样他们就可以寻找河流,用指南针找到方向。运用so that引导目的状语从句。查看更多
