Many young people these days adore the advertised magazine body and become too focused on attaining this image instead of worrying more about what lasts and even grows over time. But could you imagine being considered beautiful for years, and suddenly being ugly after moving to another continent? It is a sad reality that people don’t realize how vacillating the idea of beauty can be from one country to another.
Think of the most typical American girl you know. Is she blonde haired with white skin and light eyes, and does she love shopping or sports? Now place this girl in the heart of Africa, a place where beauty is placed on what you can control. The Maasai tribe in Kenya focuses on how clean people are, and how stylish their piercings (穿孔) are. This tribe’s culture is to be a brave fighter, so they will cut their skin with patterns in it to show that they are strong. If you don’t look fierce, you are not beautiful.
Other countries like North Korea and South Korea have their own unique views on beauty. In an interview, a woman who has lived in both North and South Korea claims that beauty in North Korea is based more on your ability to be a good woman and wife. She says that women in North Korea are less concerned about fashion and beauty in the physical sense. She says they did have a time when big eyes were a big deal and everyone wanted to get double eyelid surgery. This is something extreme and could perhaps be influenced by Western culture. And the idea of getting surgery done to look more attractive is crazy.
4. What does the underlined word “vacillating” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?
A. Inconsistent. B. Reasonable. C. Unusual. D. Similar.
5. The Maasai tribe in Kenya is mentioned to show that in their eyes _______.
A. getting dirty is stylish
B. looking fierce is beautiful
C. strong people cut their skin
D. American girls love shopping
6. According to the woman interviewed, women in North Korea now_______.
A. care a lot about their appearance
B. put the beauty of eyes in the first place
C. pay great attention to their ability
D. are crazy about double eyelid surgery
7. What does the text mainly tell us?
A. Inner beauty is of great importance.
B. Ideas of beauty vary among culture groups.
C. Different ways are needed to admire true beauty.
D. Fashion magazines easily influence young people.
【答案】4. A 5. B 6. C 7. B
7. 主旨大意题。第一段提出话题：每个国家对于美的看法不一样。下文以Kenya 的Maasai部落，North Korea等为例，证明了这个观点。故B项正确。学科*网
C
Patients in the early stages of Alzheimer’s disease often struggle to remember recently learned information, meaning they forget things like important appointments or where they left their keys. But it seems that these memories are not lost. They are still filed away in the brain somewhere; they just can’t be easily accessed.
Now, researchers at MIT have developed a means of getting back memories in mice suffering from Alzheimer’s. The method relies on a technique that uses light to control genetically modified neurons (转基因神经元). Currently it is too early to be used in human trials as it involves inserting light emitting (发光) equipment into the subjects’ brains, but the same principles still apply, the researchers said.
“The important point is that this is evidence of concept. That is, even if a memory seems to be gone, it is still there. It’s a matter of how to get it back,” said senior researcher Susumu Tonegawa.
The team took two groups of mice, one genetically engineered to develop Alzheimer’s and one healthy. They then placed them into a room and gave them a mild electric shock. All of the mice showed fear when put back in an hour later. When placed in the room a third time several days later, the Alzheimer’s mice acted normally. They had forgotten the shock.
The researchers were then able to bring back the memory of the shock by activating (激活) the cells in which the memories were stored. Even when the mice were put into an unfamiliar room, they showed fear when the cells associated with the shock were activated.
“Short-term memory seems to be normal, on the order of hours. But for long-term memory, these early-Alzheimer’s mice seem to be damaged,” said lead researcher Dheeraj Roy. “Directly activating the cells that we believe are holding the memory helps them get it back. This suggests that it is indeed an access problem to the information, not that they’re unable to learn or store this memory.”
8. What can we learn about the researchers at MIT?
A. They are the pioneers of brain research.
B. They have used the method in human trials.
C. They can cure Alzheimer’s using the new method.
D. They can get back memories in mice with Alzheimer’s.
9. Why did the Alzheimer’s mice behave normally a third time?
A. They failed to remember the electric shock.
B. They were accustomed to the situation.
C. They managed to overcome the fear.
D. They activated the association.
10. For long-term memory, the early Alzheimer’s mice _______.
A. can activate their blood cells
B. can’t learn new tricks well
C. can easily get back their memory
D. can’t access the information stored
11. The main purpose of the text is to _______.
A. introduce a method of a research
B. report the latest discovery about a disease
C. give advice on how to improve memory
D. explain how our brain stores information
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. D 11. B
11. 写作意图题。研究表明，早期Alzheimer患者的记忆并没有丧失，他们的记忆只是被储存在另一个地方，患者没有办法获取这些记忆。目前，MIT的研究者们研制出了一种方法，可以把患有Alzheimer的老鼠的记忆找回来。该文主要就是介绍这一研究发现的。故B项正确。学科*网
D
Half off usually unaffordable products? Only $49.99 for that $100.00 dinner? That’s the magic of Groupon, but for some small business owners the “great business” offered by Groupon can be equal to the kiss of death. How could that occur?
The math of Groupon seems simple at a glance, but upon further inspection the numbers don’t add up when it comes to smaller businesses. A Groupon typically offers a 50% discount on a product or service, then the remaining profit is divided between Groupon and the small business. While Groupon has already received the profit in advance, the merchant is left waiting for their cut. Those worrying numbers are assuming the price cut is 50/50, which, in some cases, is being generous.
When you break it down to numbers, a Groupon deal seems disastrous, but it’s not only the numbers small business owners have to worry about. The point of Groupon deals is to attract new and hopefully long term customers. Yet, does this actually happen? The majority of consumers buying the Groupon are there for the bargain and don’t return after using their Groupon. CFHS Junior Angelita Pope stated, “I love the deals offered by Groupon! They can really save you so much money.” However, she went on to say that she hadn’t returned once to any of the businesses after using her Groupon.
For some small businesses, the pressure lies with the responses of their loyal customers, who watch as new faces get the same product or service for half the price that they have been paying for years. When you break it down, Groupon indicates that the business offering the deal is not only willing to be flexible with their price, but also that their product or service isn’t worth the price they’re charging for. When combining these factors, it’s no wonder loyal customers are put off by the idea of their favorite shop offering Groupons.
Now I by no means say Groupon have bad effects on all businesses; however the storm of Groupon is actually a disaster for a small business.
12. What is good about Groupon?
A. It can offer a large discount.
B. It helps add up the numbers.
C. It can improve the quality of the product.
D. It brings small business owners more profit.
13. CFHS Junior Angelita Pope’s statement suggests that _______.
A. small business owners needn’t worry about deals
B. people like using Groupon in the same business
C. the purpose of Groupon is to promote business
D. Groupon may not bring customers back
14. What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A. New faces. B. Loyal customers.
C. Groupon dealers. D. Small businesses.
15. What could be the best title for the text?
A. A new business trend—Groupon dealing
B. The development of a Groupon company
C. The effects of Groupon on small businesses
D. A fantastic shopping experience—Groupon
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. B 15. C
【名师点睛】标题归纳题一直是一个难点。很多学生都不能正确的抓住文章中心。做这一类题首先要从文章的开头（主要是第一段）提炼出文章的中心话题。
例如，在该文中，第一段提出：Groupon 的魔力就在于它的商品折扣很大，但是对于小企业来说，Groupon 就相当于“死亡之吻”，对小企业造成了非常坏的影响。第一段最后提出：这是如何发生的呢？
由第一段，学生至少要抓住几个关键点“Groupon”，“small businesses”，“the kiss of death”，“How could that occur？”。根据这几个关键词（句），不难得出文章主要是在分析Groupon如何对小企业造成不良影响的。学科*网

Chinese brush calligraphy or “shufa” in Chinese is one of ___41___ most important art forms in China. Many Asian cultures have originated their own calligraphy styles, but China’s is unequaled because of ___42___ (it) beauty, grace (优雅), and history.
The ___43___ (origin) of Chinese brush calligraphy are unknown, but local tales say it goes back over 4,000 years to the time of the legendary (传说的) Yellow Emperor (2698-2598 B.C.). At that time characters were carved on animal bones or tortoise shells. Only after Emperor Qin Shi Huang united China under his rule ___44___ one country did it really gain popularity as a common art form.
He simplified Chinese characters and regular rules were set, ___45___ (make) it easier for people to learn and master. This Chinese art form continued to progress and during the Tang Dynasty (618-907 AD) a new type of cursive script (草书) was formed and standardized.

Practising this art consistently can develop personal character and is of ___50___ (benefit) to health.
【答案】
41. the
42. its
43. origins
44. as / into
45. making
46. freely
47. appreciated
48. what
49. is needed
50. benefit

47. 考查非谓语动词。句意：今天，中国书法再次成为学校里学习的科目，也成为了全世界高度欣赏的一门艺术。“appreciated across the world”是过去分词作定语，修饰an art。an art和appreciate之间是被动关系。
48. 考查名词性从句。句意：任何人都可以练习它（书法）。只需要一套简单的东西：毛笔，墨和纸。“what is required”是主语从句，该从句缺少主语，且表示名词意思“所需要的东西”，故该空填what。
49. 考查时态和语态。主语为natural talent，该空作谓语。主语和need之间是被动关系，且该句介绍的客观事实，故该空要用一般现在时态。学科*网
50. 考查名词。of是介词，后面接名词作宾语。of benefit意为“有益的”，相当于“beneficial”。
