B For centuries, the body’s blood has been linked closely with the emotions. People who show no human emotions or feelings, are said to be cold-blooded killer. For example, the police are searching for a cold-blooded killer. He seems to kill for no reason, and no emotion, as if taking someone’s life as nothing. Cold can affect other parts of the body. The expression “get cold feet” has nothing to do with cold or your feet. The expression means being afraid to do something you have decided to do. For example, you agree to be president of an organization. But then you learn that all the other officers have resigned, and all the work of the organization will be your responsibility. You are likely to get cold feet about being president when you understand the situation. The expression “give someone the cold shoulder” probably comes from the physical act of turning your back toward someone, instead of speaking to him face to face. You may give a cold shoulder to a friend who has not kept a promise he made to you. Or, to someone who has lied about you to others. A cold fish is not a fish.It is a person.But it is a person who is unfriendly, unemotional and shows no love or warmth. A cold fish does not offer much of himself to anyone.Someone who is a cold fish could be cold-hearted. Now a cold-hearted person is someone who has no sympathy.Several popular songs in recent years were about cold-hearted men or cold-hearted women who, without feelings, broke the hearts of their lovers. Out in the cold means not getting something that everybody else got.A person might say that everybody but him got a pay raise---he was left out in the cold.And it is not a pleasant place to be. 4. When you refuse to speak to a man and treat him in a distant way, you may express by “____”. A.I think he is a cold fish B.I give him the cold shoulder C.I think he is a cold-blooded man D.I’m likely to get cold feet 5. If Sue shows absolutely no reaction to those awful pictures of starving children in Africa, you will say _________. A. she is a cold fish B.she is out in the cold C.she is a cold-blooded killer D.she gets cold feet 6. We can use the expression “__________” to describe a man who abandons or hurts his lover without mercy. A. cold feet B.cold shoulder C.cold-hearted D.cold-blooded 7. The topic of this passage is about _________. A.some expressions about friendship B.how cold weather comes into being C.some expressions connected with cold D.the relationship between cold and our body C Zhang Chaofan, 24, was born without a left hand and forearm. Her father named her Chaofan, which means being extraordinary, as he hoped she would live a wonderful life despite (尽管) her disability. As a child, Zhang dreamed of having a pair of hands. After she entered primary school, Zhang realized she would never have a left hand. At that time, painting helped her win confidence in life. Zhang performed well academically in high school. At the same time, her love of painting didn’t become weak and she dreamed of setting up her own art school. Due to her hard work, she achieved high scores in the college entrance exam, and in 2011 she was accepted into School of Art and Communication of Beijing Technology and Business University. She won the school’s top scholarship every year. Zhang set up an art school in Changchun in 2015. In 2016, the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League named Zhang one of the 20 young people who set an example to the young by being kind hearted. “Disabled people may have less chance in their jobs and more inconvenience in their lives than normal people. But that doesn’t mean we are unable to make good achievements. We must be brave, and we must believe in love and teamwork. Life will smile on us in return if we work hard,” Zhang said. 8. Why did the father name his daughter Chaofan? A. Because he knew her great talent. B. Because he wished her a splendid life. C. Because he arranged her bright future. D. Because he understood her disability. 9. How is Paragraph 2 mainly developed? A. By telling a funny story. B. By offering suggestions. C. By following time order. D. By making comparisons. 10.

What can be inferred from what Zhang said? A. Disabled people seldom work together. B. Disabled people should be taken good care of. C. Disabled people can make achivements by working hard. D. Disabled people may have more chance to get employed. D A new study has found that it may be possible to train people to be more intelligent, increasing the brainpower they had at birth． Until now，it has been widely assumed that the kind of mental ability that allows us to solve new problems without having any relevant previous experience—what psychologists call fluid intelligence—is innate and cannot be taught（though people can raise their grades on tests of it by practicing）．But in the new study，researchers describe a method for improving this skill，along with experiments to prove it works． The key, researchers found, was carefully structured training in working memory—the kind that allows memorization of a telephone number just long enough to dial it．This type of memory is closely related to fluid intelligence，so the researchers reasoned that improving it might lead to improvements in fluid intelligence． First they measured fluid intelligence of volunteers using standard tests．Then they trained each in a complicated memory task—the child’s card game，in which they had to recall a card they saw and heard．During the course, they needed to ignore irrelevant items, monitor ongoing performance，manage two tasks at the same time and connect related items to one another in space and time． The four groups experienced a half-hour of training daily for 8, 12, 17 and 19 days, respectively．To make sure they were not just improving their test-taking skills，the researchers compared them with control groups that took the tests without the training． The results, published Monday in The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences，were striking．Improvement in the trained groups was a lot greater．Moreover，the longer they trained, the higher their scores were．All performers，from the weakest to the strongest，showed significant improvement． “Our results show you can increase your intelligence with proper training．” said Dr Jaeggi, a co-author of the paper．“No one knows how long the gains will last after training stops,” he added, “and the experiment’s design did not allow the researchers to determine whether more training would continue to produce further gains．” 12. The researchers thought the key to improving the intelligence was ______________． A. memorizing telephone numbers B. improving working memory C. training in concentration D. recalling a card 13. The following aspects of the training help increase intelligence EXCEPT___________． A. ignoring irrelevant items B. monitoring ongoing performance C. managing two tasks at the same time D. using previous experience 14. When the experiment was conducted, the researchers______________． A. trained the four groups for the same period of time B. only made comparisons between the four groups C. compared the four groups with control groups D. trained the four groups together 15. By writing the article，the writer intends to ______________． A. inform the readers of a new study B. call on people to be trained to increase intelligence C. prove one’s born brainpower can be improved D. tell people the improved intelligence will last forever 第二节(共 5 小题，每小题 2 分，满分 10 分) It is important to have good study habits. 16．___ Here are a few tips to help you in your studies. 17．___ It’s OK to spend a little extra time studying right before a big test, but you don’t want to try to learn everything that night. Give yourself plenty of time to get things done. Figure out when you study best and then study at that time every day, which will make you energetic. Study the most difficult subjects first. Doing this allows you to devote all of that fresh power to the materials that give you the most trouble. 18．__ Don’t study in a room that is too hot or too cold, and make sure there is adequate lighting. Be aware of what things take your attention away the most and avoid them at all costs during study time. Don’t do homework in front of the TV.Don’t try to study if you are tired, depressed, angry, or feeling rushed. 19．____ Friends can be a great resource. You can compare notes and ask each other questions at the end of a period of study. Friends can also keep you motivated to study. It has been proved that short bursts of concentration repeated frequently are more effective than one long period of concentration.

Making that connection can make new information more interesting and memorable. A. So you can save up more time. B. It is worthwhile spending more time on the harder subjects. C.
