Some prefer warm colours and the others like cool colours better. The warm colours are red, orange and yellow. Where there are warm colours and a lot of lights, people usually want to be active. For example, as we all know, a red colour is exciting. Sociable people, who like to be with others, like red. The cool colours are green, blue and violet. These colours, unlike warm colours, are relaxing. Where there are cool colours, people are usually quiet. People who like to spend time alone often prefer blue. In a room or restaurant with warm colours instead of cool colours, time seems to pass more slowly. People who are resting or eating do not want time to pass quickly. Cool colours are better for offices or factories if the people who are working there want time to pass quickly.答案：15BACBC610BBBCA1115BACAC1620ABAAB第二部分閱讀理解(共兩節(jié)，滿分40分)第一節(jié)(共15小題；每小題2分，滿分30分)閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)(A、B、C和D)中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。ATell a story and tell it well, and you may open wide the eyes of a child, open up lines of communication in a business, or even open peoples mind to another culture or race. People in many places are digging up the old folk stories and the messages in them. For example, most American storytellers get their tales from a wide variety of sources, cultures, and times. They regard storytelling not only as a useful tool in child education, but also as a meaningful activity that helps adults understand themselves as well as those whose culture may be very different from their own. “Most local stories are based on a larger theme，” the American storyteller Opalanga Pugh says, “Cinderella(灰姑娘), or the central idea of a good child protected by her goodness, appears in various forms in almost every culture of the world.” Working with students in schools, Pugh helps them understand their own cultures and the general messages of the stories. She works with prisoners too, helping them know who they are by telling stories that her listeners can write, direct, and act in their own lives. If_they_dont_like_the_story_they_are_living,_they_can_rewrite_the_story. Pugh also works to help open up lines of communication between managers and workers. “For every advance in business，” she says, “there is a greater need for communication.” Storytelling can have a great effect on either side of the managerworker relationship, she says. Pugh spent several years in Nigeria, where she learned how closely storytelling was linked to the everyday life of the people there. The benefits of storytelling are found everywhere, she says. “I learned how people used stories to spread their culture，” she says. “What I do is to focus on the value of the stories that people can translate into their own daily world of affairs. We are all storytellers. We all have a story to tell. We tell everybodys story.”21What do we learn about American storytellers from Paragraph 2?AThey share the same way of storytelling.BThey prefer to tell the stories from other cultures.CThey learn their stories from the American natives.DThey find storytelling useful for both children and adults.22The underlined sentence(Paragraph 3) suggests that prisoners can _.Astart a new lifeBsettle down in another placeCdirect filmsDbecome good actors23What is the main idea of the text?AStorytelling can influence the way people think.BStorytelling is vital to the growth of business.CStorytelling is the best way to educate children in school.DStorytelling helps people understand themselves and others.答案與解析：21解析：細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第二段第三句可知：他們認(rèn)為講故事對(duì)孩子和大人都有用。答案：D22解析：句意猜測(cè)題。由前文“She works with prisoners too, helping them know who they are by telling stories that her listeners can write, direct, and act in their own lives.”可知她與囚犯?jìng)円黄?，通過講述囚犯?jìng)冏跃帯⒆詫?dǎo)、自演的生活中的故事，幫助囚犯?jìng)兞私庾约?，認(rèn)識(shí)到自己的真正價(jià)值，由此可推測(cè)畫線句子意為：如果囚犯?jìng)儗?duì)自己生活的故事不喜歡，他們就可以改寫故事。即能夠洗心革面，重新做人。答案：A23解析：主旨大意題。講故事有助于人們理解自我及他人。答案：DBThere have always been a lot of commonly believed but false ideas about being fat and doing exercise. Some people believe that they cant help putting on weight as they get older, while others hold that if they stop exercising, their muscles will turn into fat. Here are some more myths：Ill never lose weightI come from a fat familyWrong! While we cant change the body type we are born with, we cant blame our genes for making us fat. Theres plenty of evidence that fatness runs in families, and the main reason is that they share the same habits of eating too much and exercising too little.I am fat because I burn calories slowlyWrong! Fatness is not caused by a slow metabolism (新陳代謝). In fact, although fat people consume more energy than slim people, they also fail to realize how much they eat! Keeping a diary can help you work out your daily food intake more accurately.Exercise is boringWrong! Anything will become boring if you do it repetitively. The key is to develop a balanced and varied program thats fun as well as progressive. If you enjoy a Sunday walk, take a different route. If you do yoga, try a tai chi class. If you like swimming, set yourself a distance or time challenge.No pain, no gainWrong! Exercise is not meant to hurt. Indeed, pain is your body telling you somethings wrong, and continuing to exercise could lead to serious injury. You may experience mild discomfort as you begin to exercise regularly, but this is your body adapting to the positive changes in your lifestyle and the aches should disappear relatively quickly. If they dont, rest and seek medical advice.24What does the author think about being fat? AIt is the family genes that make people fat. BPeople are fat because they consume too little energy. CA diary of exercise can prevent people from becoming fat. DIt is the consequence of peoples unbalanced lifestyle.25According to the author, how can we make exercise more interesting? ABy taking varied exercise. BBy choosing simple exercise. CBy doing regular exercise. DBy sticking to outdoor exercise.26What is the authors opinion about “No pain, no gain” in exercising? AKeeping fit is essentially a painful experience. BExercise should be stopped if continuous pain is felt. CPain in exercise is a precondition for reaching your goal. DGetting used to pain leads to positive changes in your body.27What is the purpose of the passage? ATo declare the importance of keeping fit. BTo clarify some misconceptions about fatness and exercise. CTo confirm what has long been believed about keeping fit. DTo explain some medical facts about being fat and doing exercise.答案與解析：24解析：根據(jù)第二段最后一句中的“the main reason is that they share the same habits of eating too much and exercising too little”可知，作者認(rèn)為，發(fā)胖跟不平衡的生活方式有關(guān)。故選D項(xiàng)。答案：D25解析：根據(jù)第四段第三句“The key is to develop a balanced and varied program thats fun as well as progressive.”可知，進(jìn)行多樣化的鍛煉會(huì)更有意思。故選A項(xiàng)。答案：A26解析：根據(jù)最后一段第三句“Indeed, pain is your body telling you somethings wrong, and continuing to exercise could lead to serious injury.”可知，如果感覺到持續(xù)的痛苦就要停止鍛煉，否則會(huì)導(dǎo)致嚴(yán)重的傷害。故選B項(xiàng)。答案：B27解析：縱觀全文可知，文章主要闡明了有關(guān)肥胖和鍛煉的四個(gè)錯(cuò)誤的認(rèn)識(shí)。故選B項(xiàng)。答案：BCIf you live in America in the 21st century youll probably hear a lot of people tell you how busy they are. Its become the default response when you ask anyone how they are doing. “Busy！” “Crazy busy！” It is pretty obviously a boast disguised as a complaint. And the common response is a kind of congratulation: “Thats a good problem to have.” or “Better than the opposite.”Notice it isnt generally people pulling backtoback shifts in the ICU or commuting by bus to three minimumwage jobs who tell you how busy they are. What those people are is not busy but tired. Exhausted! Dead on their feet. Its almost always people whose busyness is purely selfimposed: work and obligations theyve taken on voluntarily, classes and activities theyve “encouraged” their kids to participate in. Theyre busy because of their own ambition or drive or anxiety, because theyre addicted to busyness and dread that they might have to face its absence.Almost everyone I know is busy. They feel anxious and guilty when they arent either working or doing something to promote their work. Its something they have chosen. Busyness serves as a kind of existential reassurance (令人安心的保證), a measure against emptiness; obviously your life cannot possibly be silly or tiny or meaningless if you are so busy, completely booked, in demand every hour of the day.Idleness is not just a vacation. It is as necessary to the brain as vitamin D is to the body, and deprived of it we suffer a mental affliction as ugly as rickets. The space and quiet that idleness provides is a necessary condition for standing back from life and seeing it whole, for making unexpected connections and waiting for the wild summer lightning strikes of inspiration. “Idle dreaming is often the essence of what we do，” wrote Thomas Pynchon. Archimedes “Eureka” in the bath, Newtons apple: history is full of stories of inspiration that comes in idle moments.28When many Americans say “Crazy busy”， they mean _.Athey are really tired of their present situationBthey are really proud of their present lifeCthey are complaining about their current workDtheir lives are full of all kinds of problems29The writer mentions Archimedes “Eureka” and Newtons apple to show that _.Ahistory is full of interesting storiesBArchimedes and Newton were very busy, so they made great discoveriesCpeople may get inspiration when they are idleDinspiration comes from hard work30The underlined word “its” in the second paragraph refers to _.AambitionBanxietyCbusyness Ddread31From the article, we can infer that _.Agenerally people pulling backtoback shifts in the ICU tell you they are busyB“dead on their feet” means “being tired out”Call the kids are selfimposed due to the drive and motivationDthe author seems to agree that idleness is better than busyness答案與解析：這是個(gè)忙碌的社會(huì)，我們隨處都能聽到人們說自己太忙，并且強(qiáng)迫自己忙碌起來。但是我們的生活中需要悠閑的時(shí)光，阿基米德、牛頓等科學(xué)家就是在悠閑的時(shí)候得到靈感的。28解析：推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段中人們?cè)诨卮鹫f他們很忙的時(shí)候，其實(shí)顯然是用埋怨的方式炫耀(a boast disguised as a complaint)以及對(duì)此的回應(yīng)可知，應(yīng)選B。答案：B29解析：推理判斷題。文章最后列舉阿基米德在浴缸里洗澡時(shí)發(fā)現(xiàn)阿基米德定律和牛頓在蘋果樹下休息被蘋果砸中發(fā)現(xiàn)萬(wàn)有引力定律的故事旨在說明，人們?cè)陂e暇時(shí)光也可能會(huì)獲得靈感。答案：C30解析：詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)畫線詞所在句的內(nèi)容可知，這些人沉溺于忙碌的狀態(tài)，害怕面對(duì)不忙碌，因此選C。答案：C31解析：推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段中的“What those people are is not busy but tired. Exhausted! Dead on their feet.”可知，dead on their feet的意思是“他們疲憊不堪”，故B項(xiàng)正確。答案：BDThe room in which the boys were fed was a large stone hall, with a large pot at one end. The master, helped by two women, served the soup from this pot at mealtimes. Each boy was allowed one bowl of soup and no more. The bowls never needed washing, as the boys cleaned them with their spoons, trying to eat every bit of soup. Boys usually have excellent appetites. Oliver Twist and his companions slowly starved for three months until finally, they became quite wild with hunger.There was one boy who was tall for his age and had a wild, hungry look in his eyes. He told his friends he had to have another bowl of soup each day. If not, he was afraid that one night he might eat the small young boy sleeping next to him. The boys had a meeting and decided that one of them should ask for more food after supper that evening. They wrote their names on pieces of paper and picked one out. It was Oliver Twist who was chosen.In the evening, the boys sat down at the tables. The master stood by the pot, and the soup was served. It disappeared quickly. The boys whispered and made signs to
