The word “yoga” comes from Sanskrit(梵文) and means to join or to unite, symbolizing the union of body and mind. Today it is practiced in various forms around the world and continues to grow in popularity. Recognizing its universal appeal, the United Nations declared 21 June as the International Day of Yoga in 2014 to raise awareness worldwide of the many benefits of practicing yoga.‎ Yoga is an invaluable gift from an ancient tradition. It’s not just about exercise but a way to discover the sense of oneness with yourself nature and the world. There is no written record of who invented yoga. Yoga practitioners(从业者) passed down the principles to their students. The earliest written record of yoga is generally believed to have been written by Patanjali, an Indian master who lived somewhere between 2,000 and 2,500 years ago.‎ Various yoga types give you multiple choices. Hatha yoga is the most widely practiced type and is excellent for beginners. It is gentle with slow and smooth movements. Kundalini yoga combines a singing session besides body and mental control. Bikram yoga is practiced in a heated room. It is to loosen muscles and to sweat to clean the body and remove symptoms of disease and pain. Ashtanga yoga is taught as a difficult workout where you move quickly from one gesture to another to build strength and patience.‎ In recent years, the World Health Organization has urged countries to help their citizens reduce physical inactivity, which is among the top ten leading causes of death worldwide, and a key risk factor for non-communicable diseases, such as cancer and diabetes. Yoga is a proper exercise. It is known for its ability to ease stress and anxiety. It may also help reduce several risk factors for heart diseases and promote a better sleep.‎ ‎28.

What will you choose if you’re looking for a challenging exercise?‎ A. Hatha yoga. B. Kundalini yoga.‎ C. Bikram yoga. D. Ashtanga yoga.‎ ‎31. What can we infer from the last paragraph?‎ A. Physical inactivity causes deadly diseases.‎ B. Yoga can help prevent communicable diseases.‎ C. Little or no exercise puts people’s health at risk.‎ D. Yoga can be a cure for many kinds of diseases.‎ D Next time you raise an eyebrow at the views of your friend, brother, sister or colleague, remember they could be helping to make you smarter. New research shows that intelligence is not fixed but can be improved throughout adulthood by family members, bright mates and intellectually challenging careers. The study challenges the commonly held belief that intelligence is fixed by the age of about 18.‎ Scientific consensus(共识) suggests intelligence is controlled by genes, with environmental factors such as schooling and nutrition playing a part up to this age. After this point, IQ scores become steady. But James Flynn, professor at the University of Otago in New Zealand, argues that people can “upgrade” their intelligence throughout their lives. He believes intellectual stimulation(刺激) from other people is important as “the brain seems to be rather like a muscle—the more you use it, the stronger it gets”. However, the opposite is also true—so people who share a home or workplace with the intellectually challenged risk seeing their IQ levels nosedive as a result.‎ Professor Flynn analyzed US intelligence tests from the last 65 years and created new IQ “age tables”. He found a bright ten-year-old with brothers and sisters of average intelligence will suffer a five to ten point IQ disadvantage compared to a similar child with equally bright brothers and sisters. However, children with a low IQ could gain six to eight points by having brighter brothers and sisters and special educational treatment to help pull them up.‎ Professor Flynn concluded that although genetics and early life experiences determine about 80% of intelligence, the remaining 20% is linked to lifestyle. This means people can raise their IQ, or allow it to fall, by ten points or more. He suggests the best way to improve IQ levels is to socialize with bright friends, and find an intellectually challenging job.‎ ‎32. What do people commonly believe?‎ A. People’s IQ levels fall as they get older and older.‎ B. It’s wise for people to share family members’ views.‎ C. The intelligence changes no more during adulthood.‎ D. Doing challenging deeds is good for one’s intelligence.‎ ‎33. The underlined word “nosedive” in Paragraph 2 most probably means .‎ A. vary B. fall C. change D. develop ‎34. Which of the following can help improve one’s intelligence according to Professor Flynn?‎ A. Staying with smart people. B. Making many friends.‎ C. Doing exercise every day. D. Learning from parents.‎ ‎35. The purpose of the text is to .‎ A. persuade B. advertise C. entertain D. inform 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。‎ Politeness is the practical application of good manners, the goal of which is to make all of the parties relaxed and comfortable. It’s a flexible management of words ‎ and actions, by which we make other people have a better opinion of us and themselves. It seeks to build a positive relationship. 36 .‎ However, in the rush of daily life being polite is social behavior that we find rare nowadays. 37 . They don’t even take the time to look around. This has led to the loss of simple social rules some might take for granted and that are particularly powerful.‎ ‎ 38 , people become less and less attentive to others’ feelings, for human interaction(互动) is almost lost. Take for instance the rudeness we tolerate when a person is looking at his phone when talking to us.‎ Being polite is not just a simple social elegance. 39 . These days “Please” and “Thank You” are forgotten. And not many people are aware that these two simple words can easily open or close any door to us. Unfortunately, they often forget to say these words.‎ Hope is not lost. There are many ways we can improve our behavior to achieve skills in politeness. There are simple things we can do to be considered as a polite and well-mannered person. 40 , they will respect you back. Just make a change in our behavior to start. Use simple words like “Excuse me”, “Please”, and “Thank you” every day. Be kind to receive kindness. Care and politeness will get you far in all aspects of life.‎ A. As technology progresses B. People have become more self-absorbed C. As long as you show your politeness for people D. Since for many people being polite remains a challenge E. Many languages have specific means to show politeness F. It aims to respect a person’s need to be liked and understood G. It’s also about being kind, caring and respectful to another person 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。‎ Sometimes a certain day has a special meaning. Fridays meant a trip to a senior nursing home downtown for me. It seemed as if this nursing home needed help, but 41 did I know it would help me, too.‎ During my first visit I was asked to 42 some of the female residents’ nails. I carefully 43 the old color on their nails. As I applied new color, one woman 44 to tell me about her hidden pains, from her husband’s death to the one 45 she wanted most: a camera.

I left the nursing home that day, 47 by the fact that I had actually helped somebody.‎ I realized that my 48 actions, just listening, for example, could make a(n) 49 to others’ lives. One woman, who happily commented that we 50 the same first name, confided(吐露) her opinions to me. Another 51 showed me a birthday card her children had sent her. Of course, not all of the conversations were 52 . When one elderly woman talked to me about 53 her 13-year-old daughter would be graduating from middle school this year, I didn’t know what to do but nod and listen, 54 that her daughter must have graduated decades ago.‎ Although I could not 55 more years to the lives of these elderly residents, I could give them something simple that’s often 56 in our society. Through our conversations, I gave them the 57 that in this fast-paced world, they were not forgotten — that members of younger generations still cared about them.‎ Every moment I spend 58 is an opportunity to reduce their pain. 59 , that moment also shapes me.

It is certain 61 being under quarantine is no fun. However, with our access to food, 62 (deliver) services and the entertainment 63 (offer) by the internet, we’re actually very lucky. Let’s take a quick look at the history of quarantines.‎ The idea of quarantining sick people dates 64 ancient times. Yet the word ‎ ‎“quarantine” first came into use in the 14th century Europe during the Black Death. People were dropping like flies from the mysterious disease, and as the death toll climbed into the millions — eventually killing 65 (approximate) half of the European population, cities began to take 66 (measure) to protect their citizens. The port city of Venice, Italy, was an important trading center with ships 67 (come) from all corners of the Earth every day. If a ship 68 (suspect) to be harboring the plague(瘟疫), it was sent to 69 offshore quarantine and ordered to wait there for 40 days when those abroad either recovered, or 70 (likely), died. The waiting period gave rise to the term quarantinario, from the Italian word for 40.‎ 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分35分）‎ 第一节 短文改错（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）‎ 假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。文中共有10处语言错误，每句中最多有两处。每处错误仅涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。‎ 增加：在缺词处加一个漏字符号（∧），并在其下面写出该加的词。‎ 删除：把多余的词用斜线（）划掉。‎ 修改：在错的词下划一横线，并在该词下面写出修改后的词。‎ 注意：1.每处错误及其修改均仅限一词；‎ ‎2.只允许修改10处，多者（从第11处起）不计分。‎ My little brother was almost three years old while I took him to the post office in our town for a first time.

The opportunity to practice kindness in the face of so much anger made me feel like my life had a greater purpose.”可知，但是在我14岁的时候开始做志愿者工作，我把自己的问题变成了帮助别人的热情。面对如此多的愤怒，我有机会表达善意，这让我觉得我的生活有一个更大的目标。因此推断参加志愿活动给“我”提供了表达友善的机会，让“我”感觉到生活有更大的意义。因此答案为B。‎ ‎26.细节理解题。由第三段“The kindness they offered me with their books saved my life. One of my biggest dreams was to become an author so I could write books that would help other teenagers the way those books helped me.”可知，书中作者传达的善意拯救了“我”的人生，“我”最大的梦想就是成为一名作家，可以写书去帮助其他的青少年，把善意传递给他们。因此答案为B。‎ ‎27.推理判断题。由最后一段“Even small acts of kindness can change someone’s life.

He suggests the best way to improve IQ levels is to socialize with bright friends, and find an intellectually challenging job.”可知，Professor Flynn认为，聪明的家人、聪明的同事、对智力有挑战性的职业都会使你的智商提高。要多与聪明人在一起。故选A。‎ ‎35.推理判断题。本文是告知一项研究：智商不是固定的，在成年之后，你的家人、聪明的同事、对智力有挑战性的职业都会使你的智商提高。故选D。‎ 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ ‎【答案】36-40 FBAGC ‎【解析】这是一篇议论文。礼貌是良好礼仪的表现，但是随着生活节奏的加快人们对礼貌似乎有所忘却，也能够容忍不礼貌的行为。礼貌用语虽小，但能够在很多方面影响我们的生活。‎ ‎36.该空上句提到，礼仪寻求的是建立积极的人际关系。F项（礼仪的目的是尊重一个人被爱和被理解的需要）与上句承接自然，且两句在句式结构上相同。故选F项。‎ ‎37.该空下句提到，人们甚至不愿意花时间观察周围事物。B项（人们变得更加以自我为中心，更加自恋）与下句联系紧密，不愿花时间看周围是人们以自我为中心的一种表现形式。故选B项。‎ ‎38.该空下句提到，人们变得越来越不关心礼仪。A项（随着科技的进步）在语境上和下句联系紧密。且越来越不关心和随着科学发展都表现出动作的渐变，在逻辑上也能很好的衔接。故选A项。‎ ‎39.该空上句提到，礼貌不仅仅是一个简单的社会礼仪。G项（它表现的是对他人的善良，关爱和尊重）和上句是递进关系，尤其通过上句的not just和本句的also可以看出两句联系紧密。故选G项。‎ ‎40.该空下句提到，他们也会尊重你。C项（只要你尊重他人）和下句构成条件状语从句，且该主从句的意义符合逻辑关系和文意。故选C项。‎ 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ ‎【答案】41-45 BABDD 46-50 CADCB 51-55 CADBA 56-60 DCACB ‎【解析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述作者到高级养老院帮助老人，从中感悟到自己简单的行为也能对他人的人生产生影响，并在此过程中塑造了自己，收获了人生经历和人与人之间情感联系的故事。‎ ‎41.考查副词。A. still：仍然；B. little：几乎不；C. already：已经；D. indeed：的确。根据but可知，前后有转折含义：养老院的老人似乎需要帮助，但当时“我”几乎不知道（帮助老人）这件事也将帮到“我”自己。故选B。‎ ‎42.考查动词。A. polish：擦除；B. wash：洗；C. cut：切；D. check：检查。根据空格后句可知，作者帮助老人美甲，擦掉旧颜色，涂上新颜色。故选A。‎ ‎43.考查动词短语。A. took away：带走；B. rubbed off：擦掉；C. showed off：炫耀；D. gave up：放弃。“我”认真地擦掉她们指甲上的旧颜色。故选B。‎ ‎44.考查动词。A. continued：继续；B. expected：期盼；C. agreed：同意；D. started：开始。在“我”（给她们的指甲）上新颜色的时候，一位老妇人开始向“我”讲述自己的隐痛。上下文没有提示作者主动要求听取老人的故事，因此不存在“同意”。故选D。‎ ‎45.考查名词。A. collection：收集；B. product：产品；C. award：奖励；D. item：物品。从她去世丈夫说到她最想要的物品：照相机。故选D。‎ ‎46.考查固定短语。A. at least：至少；B. more or less：或多或少；C. in relief：欣慰；D. in vain：徒劳。根据下文“with some of her past pains taken off her mind”可知，倾诉过之后，老人卸下了一些过去的痛苦，因此推知，她如释重负地笑了。故选C。‎ ‎47.考查动词。A. inspired：鼓舞；B. reminded：提醒；C. moved：移动；D. puzzled：困惑。“我”实实在在地帮助了别人，这个事实让“我”受到了鼓舞。故选A。‎ ‎48.考查形容词。A. unique：唯一的；B. polite：有礼貌的；C. casual：随意的；D. simple：简单的。根据下文“just listening, for example”以及倒数第二段“I could give them something simple...”可知此处指仅仅是倾听这样的简单行为。故选D。‎ ‎49.考查名词。A. chance：机会；B. impression：印象；C. difference：不同；D. decision：决定。“我”意识到自己简单的行为，比如仅仅是倾听，都能对他人的生活产生影响。make a difference意为“起作用，有影响”。故选C。‎ ‎50.考查动词。A. remembered：记得；B. shared：分享；C. contained：含有；D. carried：携带。“我”们有相同的姓氏。share意为“分享，共有”。故选B。‎ ‎51.考查副词。A. cautiously：小心地；B. accidentally：偶然地；C. proudly：骄傲地；D. finally：最终。另外一位老人骄傲地向“我”‎ 展示孩子寄给她的生日贺卡。故选C。‎ ‎52.考查形容词。A. pleasant：愉快的；B. serious：认真的；C. formal：正式的；D. interesting：有趣的。根据下文“I didn’t know what to do but nod and listen”可知，“我”不知道该做些什么，只能一边点头，一边听着，由此推知，不是所有的对话（经历）都是轻松愉快的。故选A。‎ ‎53.考查名词性从句。A. when：当……时候；B. why：为什么；C. what：什么；D. that：只起连接作用，没有含义。根据下文“her daughter must have graduated decades ago”（她的女儿一定已经在几十年前就毕业了）推知，这位上了年纪的老妇人把发生过的事当作将要发生的事，给“我”讲她13岁的女儿将要在今年从中学毕业。故选D。‎ ‎54.考查动词。A. convincing：信服；B. knowing：知道；C. indicating：表明；D. persuading：说服。根据上文“I didn’t know what to do but nod and listen”可知，“我”不知道该做些什么，只能一边点头，一边听着，因为“我”知道她的女儿一定已经在几十年前就毕业了。故选B。‎ ‎55.考查动词。A. add：增加；B. connect：连接；C. supply：提供；D. compare：比较。此处指“我”不能使这些老年人的生命多增加几年，即延长他们的寿命。故选A。‎ ‎56.考查动词。A. valued：珍惜；B. loved：爱；C. blamed：责备；D. overlooked：忽视。根据上文“something simple”以及下文“in this fast-paced world”可知，“我”能够给他们一些被这个快节奏的社会忽视的简单的东西。故选D。‎ ‎57.考查名词。A. memory：记忆；B. possibility：可能；C. assurance：保证；D. assumption：假想。通过“我”们谈话的过程，“我”让他们相信，在这个快节奏的世界，他们没有被遗忘：年轻一代的人依然关心他们。故选C。‎ ‎58.考查动词。A. chatting：交谈；B. waiting：等待；C. acting：行动；D. watching：观看。根据前文“Through our conversations”可知，“我”与老人家交谈，因此推知，“我”跟他们的每一次交谈对于他们来说都是缓解痛苦的机会。故选A。‎ ‎59.考查固定短语。A.
