    The wood stove’s cheery flames cast golden light that flickered(闪烁) across my family’s faces. In the still of the evening, 21 in our cozy room with my family, I had never felt so 22 and calm. I hadn’t always felt that way 23 we moved to the mountains and 24 our living space and belongings. We’d not only downsized physical things, but we’d also cleared out 25 clutter(杂乱的东西), starting with 26 live television! Right away, something wonderful had 27 .

    Although I’d never watched a lot of television, the emotions 28 by the stories that I’d seen on TV 29 remained in my thoughts, making me blue. Now, I found myself in better spirits 30 the violence, or sadness that the television had broadcast. Planning was easy now that our 31 no longer centered around a weekly show. The 32 about who got to watch what shows ended. We 33 ourselves to writing, reading books, and enjoying 34 (we had plenty of viewing time for the sunset, the stars, or the storm clouds). Family discussions no longer 35 that day’s shows; we created our own news. We talked about our lives, our home and had in-depth 36 with each other. And at last our minds found peace as our family grew 37 together.

    I can’t help but wonder how many 38 memories would never have been made if we’d kept our 39 — special moments spent together in the great room, or snacking outside on a blanket. I wouldn’t 40 those moments for all the sitcoms, talk shows, and movies in the world.

    【解析】

    【语篇解读】在放弃了以电视为中心的生活方式之后,作者感受到了从未有过的满足与平静,家人之间也变得更加亲近了。

    【1】根据语境可知,在万籁俱寂的夜晚,作者和家人聚集(gathering)在温暖舒适的房间。progress"前进,行 进";struggle"奋斗,努力"。

    【2】根据下文可知,作者在搬到山上之前很少感觉到如此满足(contented)、平静。secure"有把握的,安全的"。考生易误选B项。excited意为"兴奋的,激动的",虽然可以表示人高兴的心情,但明显与下文中的"calm"一词所表达的心境不符,故可排除。

    【3】参见上题解析。before"在……之前"符合语境。unless"除非"。

    【4】 根据下文中的"We’d not only downsized physical things..."可知,作者一家简化了居住空间和财物。simplify"使简化",符合题意。enlarge"扩大";share"分享";beautify"美化"。

    【5】根据上文的" our living space and belongings. We’d not only downsized physical things, but we’d also cleared out"可知,作者一家也清理了精神方面的杂乱。mental "精神上的"符合语境。physical"身体的 ";social"社交的";intellectual"智力上的"。

    【6】根据上下文的内容可知,作者一家从消除(removing)电视直播开始清理精神方面的杂乱。destroy"摧 毁";broadcast"广播"。

    【7】根据下文可知,一些美妙的事情纷至沓来(flooded in)。pull back"撤退,退出";fade away"逐渐消失";turn over"翻转"。

    【8】虽然作者从不看很多电视节目,但是在电视上看到的故事所引起(caused)的情绪经常(frequently)留在他的脑海里,让他郁郁不乐。challenge"挑战";inspire"激励,激发"。

    【9】参见上题解析。gradually"逐渐地";randomly"随意地";occasionally"偶然地"。

    【10】没有了电视播出的暴力或悲伤,作者发现自己的精神状态更好了。根据语境,应用without"无,没有"。

    【11】 根据语境可知,由于他们不再围绕每周的节目来制订计划表,计划制订变得简单易行了。schedule"计划表,日程表"。

    【12】 关于谁看什么电视节目的争吵(quarrels)终止了。compromise"妥协";comment"评论"。

    【13】根据语境可知,作者一家把自身投入到(devoted)写作、读书和享受自然(nature)中。abandon oneself to ..."陷入,沉湎于";submit oneself to ..."顺从,屈服于";accustom oneself to ..."使习惯于"。

    【14】参见上题解析。下文的"we had plenty of viewing time for the sunset, the stars, or the storm clouds"是关键提示。company"陪伴";silence"寂静"。

    【15】家庭讨论的重点不再是当天的节目,作者一家制造自己的新闻。focus on"集中于……"符合题意。 agree on"一致同意";take on"呈现";depend on"依靠,取决于"。

    【16】此处指作者和家人谈论他们的生活,家庭以及进行深入的谈话。conversation"谈话";investigation"调查";analysis"分析";relationship"关系"。

    【17】 随着作者一家人的关系变得更加亲近(closer),他们的心灵最终也找到了平静。

    【18】作者不禁琢磨着如果他们保留了电视(television),多少珍贵的(priceless)回忆将不会被创造。 countless"无数的";endless"无尽的";valueless"无价值的,不值钱的"。考生易误选D项。考生误选D 项的根源在于未理解valueless的含义。valueless意为"无价值的,不值钱的",而valuable意为"珍贵的, 有价值的",辨明了这两个词的含义,考生不难选出答案。

    【19】参见上题解析。promise"承诺";tradition"传统";appointment"约定"。

    【20】 作者不会用那些时刻来交换(exchange)世界上所有的情景喜剧,访谈节目及电影。substitute"代替,替换", substitute A for B意为"用A代替B"。

    Is Online School for You?

    Have you ever wished you didn’t have to wake up early and go all the way to school? For 700,000 American kids, this wish comes true. _____【1】 ____ This kind of learning has different names: online learning or distance learning. Regardless of what it is called, this idea may create an impression of a lonely kid reading pages of information on a computer screen rather than from a book or an image of another kid spending the day playing video games instead of learning mathematics or reading a book. Where online education is concerned, both of these are false! Actually, online learning simply means learning differently.

    _____【2】 ____ Flexibility is the main advantage. Students can attend school wherever and whenever they desire. Homework can be turned in from anywhere the student has Internet access. Additionally, many online schools will allow students to work at their own pace.

    Another advantage of online schooling is with the variety of courses. Most online schools teach the same basic classes like English, math, science, and history. ______【3】 _______ However, traditional schools are often unable to offer these types of classes if there are not enough students.

    Online schools also have different types of learning tools for kids to use. For example, many online schools have special Web sites where only students registered in online classes can watch videos, see lessons presented, or chat with teachers and other students. Some online schools have live class times where students can call and talk with the teacher directly. ______【4】 ______

    Computer technology is amazing, and we use computers for chatting with our friends, listening to music, and playing games. ______【5】 _____ Since 2006, at least 38 states either have their own online schools or made rules for students attending them. It looks like online schools are here to stay, but only you can decide if this type of learning is right for you.

    A. Online schools offer many benefits for the learners.

    B. Of course, there are some drawbacks of going to school online.

    C. Almost every part of our lives is affected by it, and school is no exception.

    D. They attend school over the Internet using ordinary home or library computers.

    E. Other online schools even have online clubs where kids can talk about their hobbies.

    F. Some online schools also offer specialized classes in subjects such as space science, French, or zoology.

    G. For some students, online school may be ideal, but for others, traditional school may better meet their needs.

    【题目】

    Below is a selection from a popular science book.

    If blood is red, why are veins(静脉)blue?

    Actually, veins are not blue at all. They are more of a clear, yellowish colour. Although blood looks red when it’s outside the body, when it’s sitting in a vein near the surface of the skin, it’s more of a dark reddish purple colour. At the right depth, these blood-filled veins reflect less red light than the surrounding skin, making them look blue by comparison.

    Which works harder, your heart or your brain?

    That kind of depends on whether you’re busy thinking or busy exercising. Your heart works up to three times harder during exercise, and shifts enough blood over a lifetime to fill a supertanker. But, in the long run, your brain probably tips it, because even when you’re sitting still your brain is using twice as much energy as your heart, and it takes four to five times as much blood to feed it.

    Why do teeth fall out, and why don’t they grow back in grown-ups?

    Baby(or“milk”)teeth do not last long; they fall out to make room for bigger, stronger adult teeth later on. Adult teeth fall out when they become damaged, decayed and infected by bacteria. Once this second set of teeth has grown in, you’re done. When they’re gone, they’re gone. This is because nature figures you’re set for life, and what controls regrowth of your teeth switches off.

    Do old people shrink as they age?

    Yes and no. Many people do get shorter as they age. But, when they do, it isn’t because they’re shrinking all over. They simply lose height as their spine(脊柱)becomes shorter and more curved due to disuse and the effects of gravity(重力). Many(but not all)men and women do lose height as they get older. Men lose an average of 3~4 cm in height as they age, while women may lose 5 cm or more. If you live to be 200 years old, would you keep shrinking till you were, like 60 cm tall, like a little boy again? No, because old people don’t really shrink! It is not that they are growing backwards—their legs, arms and backbones getting shorter. When they do get shorter, it’s because the spine has shortened a little. Or, more often, become more bent and curved.

    Why does spinning make you dizzy(眩晕的)?

    Because your brain gets confused between what you’re seeing and what you’re feeling. The brain senses that you’re spinning using special gravity-and-motion-sensing organs in your inner ear, which work together with your eyes to keep your vision and balance stable. But when you suddenly stop spinning the system goes out of control, and your brain thinks you’re moving while you’re not!

    Where do feelings and emotions come from?

    Mostly from an ancient part of the brain called the limbic system. All mammals have this brain area—from mice to dogs, cats, and humans. So all mammals feel basic emotions like fear, pain and pleasure.But since human feelings also involve other, newer bits of the brain, we feel more complex emotions than any other animal on this planet.

    If exercise wears you out, how can it be good for you?

    Because our bodies adapt to everything we do to them. And as far as your body is concerned, it’s“use it or lose it”! It’s not that exercise makes you healthy; it’s more that a lack of exercise leaves your body weak and easily affected by disease.

    【1】 What is the color of blood in a vein near the surface of the skin?

    A. Blue

    B. Light yellow

    C. Red

    D. Dark reddish purple

    【2】 Why do some old people look a little shrunken as they age?

    A. Because their spine is in active use.

    B. Because they are more easily affected by gravity.

    C. Because they keep growing backwards.

    D. Because their spine becomes more bent.

    【3】 What is the main purpose of the selection?

    A. To give advice on how to stay healthy.

    B. To provide information about our body.

    C. To challenge new findings in medical research.

    D. To report the latest discoveries in medical science.
