The shoes—named Square Eyes—contain an electronic pressure sensor and a tiny computer chip to record how many steps the wearer has taken in a day.A wireless transmitter(传话器) passes the information to a receiver connected to a television， and this decides how much evening viewing time the wearer deserves，based on the day’s efforts. “The design was inspired by a desire to fight against the rapidly ballooning waistlines among British teenagers，”says Gillian Swan，who developed Square Eyes as a final year design project at Brunel University to London，UK.“We looked at current issues and childhood overweight really stood out，” she says.“And I wanted to deal with that with my design.” Once a child has used up their daily allowance gained through exercise，the television automatically switches off.And further time in front of the TV can only be earned through more steps. Swan calculated how exercise should translate to television time using the 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 11 recommended daily amounts of both.Health experts suggest that a child take 12,000 steps each day and watch no more than two hours of television.So，every 100 steps recorded by the Square Eyes shoes equals exactly one minute of TV time. Existing pedometers(计步器) normally clip(夹在) onto a belt or slip into a pocket and keep count of steps by measuring sudden movement.Swan says these can be easily tricked into recording steps through shaking.But her shoes have been built to be harder for lazy teenagers to cheat.“It is possible，but it would be a lot of effort，” she says.“That was one of my main design considerations.” 语篇解读 文章介绍了一款智能运动鞋，利用孩子们每天的走步数来决定看电视的时间，起 到控制体重的作用。 41．According to Swan，the purpose of her design project is to . A．keep a record of the steps of the wearer B．deal with overweight among teenagers C．enable children to resist the temptation of TV D．prevent children from being tricked by TV programs 答案 B 解析 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“‘We looked at current issues and childhood overweight really stood out，’ she says.‘And I wanted to deal with that with my design.’”可以推断出这个设计是为了解决孩子超重的问题。故选 B。 42．Which of the following is TRUE of Square Eyes shoes? A．They regulate a child’s evening TV viewing time. B．They determine a child’s daily pocket money. C．They have raised the hot issue of overweight.

Michael McCullough made a research and found that the most sincere ， forgivenessinducing apologies include saying “I’m sorry”，offering to make up for the wrongdoing in some way，and taking responsibility.And the reason why they work so well is largely based on principles of evolution：the apologies make the transgressor(犯错的人) seem more valuable as a relationship partner，and also help the victim feel less at risk of getting hurt again. 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 13 One basic scientific implication of the results is that the human psychology of conflict resolution is usually similar to that of animals which live in groups.“Many groupliving animals，but particularly mammals，seem to use peacemaking gestures as signals of their desire to end conflict and restore cooperative relationships with other individuals after aggressive conflict has occurred，”McCullough said.“We seem to reach a common view on this point.” “I would say that empathy(情感共鸣) is a part of good mental health，and that could be a part of the natural selection process ， too ， ” Bethany Marshall says.“Humans with empathy tend to be healthier and make better choices in life， while those who are aggressive don’t tend to do as well.” And having empathy when you’ve hurt someone，she says，is the best way to apologize.“The most important thing is that you feel the other person’s pain，” she explains.“So instead of using logic to explain or defend，look inward to identify why you did the bad thing.Then convey that to them and say that you would like to make it better.That counts.” You can make it even better by making sure to act differently the next time around—what the study authors referred to as “compensation”(补偿)．But what tends to happen often，says Marshall，is that people get defensive about what they’ve done， or even mad at the person they’ve wronged.“So watch your response，because the worst apology，”she adds，“is one where the victim is blamed.” 语篇解读 本文主要讲了当你做错事时，道歉是至关重要的。 46．When you hurt someone and apologize，it means . A．you won’t take risk of getting hurt B．you put a good value on a sincere partner C．you have to pay a price for your wrongdoing D．you are ready to be responsible 答案 D 解析 细节理解题。根据第二段首句“Michael McCullough made a research and found that the most sincere，forgivenessinducing apologies include saying ‘I’m sorry’， offering to make up for the wrongdoing in some way，and taking responsibility.” 可知，当你做错事后向别人道歉意味着你开始承担责任。故选 D。 47．In the experiment，McCullough finds that . A．animals are more cooperative with other individuals 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 14 B．humans’ psychology is very close to animals’ when dealing with conflicts C．aggressive conflicts aren’t easy to end among animals D．signal gestures may help end conflicts 答案 B 解析 细节理解题。根据第三段首句“One basic scientific implication of the results is that the human psychology of conflict resolution is usually similar to that of animals which live in groups.”可知，人类处理冲突时的心理和动物是相似的。故选 B。 48．According to Marshall，people with empathy tend to . A．defend themselves for what they have done B．try to explain why they do something logically C．find fault with themselves seriously D．show aggressive behaviors in life 答案 C 解析 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“So instead of using logic to explain or defend， look inward to identify why you did the bad thing.”可知，那些有情感共鸣的人倾向 于寻找自身的错误。故选 C。 49．To make up for the wrongdoing，you need to . A．convey the bad things to others B．experience the other person’s pain C．be careful of your response D．promise to behave yourself well next time 答案 D 解析 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“Then convey that to them and say that you would like to make it better.”可知，为了弥补错误的行为，下一次你需要做得更好。故选 D。 50．What is the main idea of the passage? A．Why apologizing the right way matters. B．How you accept apologizing of others. C．When it is suitable to apologize. D．What you will make an apology for. 答案 A 解析 主旨大意题。本文主要讲了当你做错事时，道歉是至关重要的。故选 A。 D (2017·河西区一模) In the fall of 1985，I was a brighteyed girl heading to Howard University， 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 15 aiming at a legal career and dreaming of sitting on a Supreme Court bench somewhere.Twentyone years later I am still a brighteyed dreamer and one with quite a different tale to tell. My grandma，an amazing woman，graduated from college at the age of 65.She was the first in our family to reach that goal.But one year after I started college， she developed cancer.I made the choice to withdraw from college to care for her.It meant that school and my personal dream would have to wait. Then I got married with another dream：building my family with a combination of adopted and biological children.In 1999，we adopted our first son.To lay eyes on him was fantastic—and very emotional.A year later came our second adopted boy.Then followed son No.3.In 2003，I gave birth to another boy. You can imagine how fully occupied I became，raising four boys under the age of 8.Our home was a complete zoo—a joyous zoo.Not surprising，I never did make it back to college fulltime.But I never gave up on the dream either.I had only one choice： to find a way.That meant taking as few as one class each semester. The hardest part was feeling guilty about the time I spent away from the boys.They often wanted me to stay home with them.There certainly were times I wanted to quit， but I knew I should set an example for them to follow through the rest of their lives. In 2007，I graduated from the University of North Carolina.It took me over 21 years to get my college degree! I am not special，just singleminded.It always struck me that when you’re looking at a big challenge from the outside it looks huge，but when you’re in the midst of it，it just seems normal.Everything you want won’t arrive in your life on one day.It’s a process.Remember：little steps add up to big dreams. 语篇解读 本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章讲述了作者是一个充满爱心，意志坚强，在忙碌生 活中仍然坚持自己梦想的人。 51．When the author went to Howard University，her dream was to be .

Mother was the ruler of the home.She was a strict taskmaster，demanding that we all obey the rules without any excuse.When we didn’t，there were always immediate consequences. However，one day I made a big mistake and my mother warned me that my father would deal with me.I was relieved because I knew I would be in bed long before he got home.At night，I went to bed early just in case my dad came home.I figured it this way：I would fall asleep when he got home and therefore he wouldn’t wake me up to punish me，and by the time morning rolled around ，he would forget the whole thing.But I was fallacious.I got up thinking all was well but instead，Dad called me into the playroom.He told me how disappointed he was in me.He then told me that I would lose the privilege of playing with any of my toys for the next two days. I still remember that incident vividly.The reason why I remember it so well is that it taught me a good lesson.And，that lesson is that consequences will befall you no matter how much you don’t want them，or how much you hope that they will just go away like a bad dream. 56．Why didn’t the author see his father in the evening？(No more than 10 words) Because he/she had fallen asleep when his/her father came back. 57．What was the author’s mom like？(No more than 8 words) She was strict with her children. 58．What does the underlined word “fallacious” in Paragraph 3 mean？(1 word) Wrong/Incorrect. 59．What punishment did the author get？(No more than 10 words) He/She couldn’t play with his/her toys for two days. 60．How are you inspired by the author’s story？(No more than 15 words) 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 18 If we made a mistake，we should face it bravely instead of avoiding/escaping it. 第二节 书面表达(满分 25 分) (2016·天津一中月考) 天津市养宠物的家庭越来越多，对此，“天津中学生英语报”组织了一场讨论：城市内 是否可以养宠物。请参考下图的各类信息，介绍讨论情况，并说明自己的观点和建议。 注意： (1)词数不少于 100； (2)可以适当增减情节，使行文连贯； (3)开头已经写好，不计入总词数。 支持养宠物 反对养宠物 你的观点 …… Recently we had a heated discussion on whether people should keep pets at home in cities. 参考范文 Recently we had a heated discussion on whether people should keep pets at home in cities.Some students think it is a good idea to keep pets because old people who live alone at home can get comfort from pets.Besides，animals can act as guides for disabled people and companions for kids.All in all，getting alone well with animals will make our life interesting. 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 19 On the contrary，other students are against the idea of keeping pets.In their opinion，many people will have their pets producing shit wherever they like，thus polluting the environment.What’s worse，pets can make lots of noise and even attack people. I like animals，so I don’t think it is bad to keep pets at home.But we must take some measures to prevent them from polluting our environment or causing other trouble.
