【解析】
这是一篇说明文。提起英国人,最负盛名的一道传统应该就是下午茶了。文章介绍了这一传统的由来、发展以及现状。
【1】
考查非谓语动词。句意:英国人有很多的传统,但其中最典型的莫过于喝下午茶了。分析句子可知,take在这里作than的宾语,表示“喝下午茶”这一行为,要用动名词形式。故填taking。
【2】
考查with复合结构。句意:我们知道英国人钟情于喝茶,每天要喝掉超过1.6亿杯。分析句子可知,空白处所在句应该作为插入语,其中的动作是伴随着主句的动作一起进行的,且cups与drunk之间应该是动宾关系,符合“with + 名词 (或代词) + 过去分词”的with复合结构用法。故填with。
【3】
考查强调句。句意:但自从下午茶被发明出来后,喝茶才真的变成了人人喜欢的消遣。分析句子可知,从句中去掉it was和空白处,句子的成分是完整的,这里是对主语进行了强调,强调句的基本结构是“it is/was+被强调部分+that”。故填that。
【4】
考查副词。句意:这一社交的盛宴包括舒舒服服地品味好茶。分析句子可知,该空在这里修饰动词drinking,要用副词形式。故填comfortably。
【5】
考查被动语态。句意:下午茶,就是被当作一顿小吃,填补午餐和晚餐中间的空白。分析句子结构可知,这里使用了定语从句,which指代的就是afternoon tea,与design之间应该是被动关系,构成be designed as,描述发生在过去的事情,用一般过去时。故填was designed。
【6】
考查形容词。句意:它之后成为了上流社会一种时髦的行为。分析句子可知,fashion在这里作定语修饰social occasion,要用形容词形式。故填fashionable。
【7】
考查名词。句意:如今在英国,下午茶又逐渐流行起来了。这里its是形容词性物主代词,其后要接名词,需将popular变为popularity表示“流行,受欢迎”。故填popularity。
【8】
考查连词。句意:虽然在家就能享受下午茶,但最佳的体验方式还是去小餐馆或咖啡馆。分析前后句逻辑关系可知,有典型的“欲扬先抑”——可以在家,但最好在咖啡馆。前句应该是让步状语从句,要用although、though或while引导,表示“尽管,虽然”。故填Although/Though/While。
【9】
考查非谓语动词。句意:但是如果你想去这么一个地方享受一道甜美的餐点,记得必须遵守的一些规则,以免被赶出去。分析句子可知,这里enjoy作目的状语,要用不定式形式。故填to enjoy。
【10】
考查非谓语动词。句意:但是,如果你想去这么一个地方享受一道甜美的餐点,记得必须遵守的一些规则,以免被赶出去。avoid doing sth.意为“避免做某事”,其后要接动词-ing形式。“你”和“要求离开”之间是被动关系,用动名词的被动形式,故填being asked。

【题目】 Getting a high grade in an exam depends partly on how much you can remember. So, improving memory is essential to success in studying. But is there anything that we can do about it? One solution might be walking backwards.
According to a new study published in the Journal of Cognition, walking backwards, whether doing it really or just imagining it, can boost (增强) the brainpower in the short term.
In the study, 114 volunteers were asked to watch a video in which a woman had her bag stolen. Then they answered 20 questions about the details shown in the video. Ten minutes after watching the video, the volunteers were divided into three groups. The first two groups were told to move forwards or backwards 10 meters while the third group was asked to stay still on the same point. The researchers found that the backwards-walking group got two more correct answers on average than the other two groups. This suggests that a relationship between the concepts (概念) of time and space is essential to the way our minds form memories.
When we walk backwards, everything we learn becomes strange to us. "This forces the brain to think in a different way—it's a rewiring and changes the focus," US neuropsychologist (神经心理学家) Christine Weber told Forbes. It almost always means that our brain needs to be more active and alert in the limited time. Naturally, our short-term memory will be improved significantly.
Apart from improving our memory, walking backwards also plays an important role in physical health, especially fitness. A study published in Journal of Biomechanics in 2012 found that backward walking puts less strain and requires a smaller range of movements from the knee joints (膝关节). Thus, there's less pressure and pain in the knees.
In addition, walking backwards, compared to forward walking, is more challenging. It requires you to use muscles and movements that you probably rarely use, making it a perfect way to change your exercise routine for greater fitness gains. Meanwhile, by making people put in extra effort, it naturally burns more fat and calories.
【1】Which group of people perform best in the memory test?
A.The staying-still group.B.The forwards-walking group.
C.The imaginary-walking group.D.The backwards-walking group.
【2】In what way does walking backwards benefit people's health?
A.It can make people slim.B.It can reduce peopled stress.
C.It can strengthen people's joints.D.It can make people more energetic.
【3】What do we know about backward walking?
A.It follows our exercise routine.
B.It limits people's thinking time.
C.It directs our focus to important details.
D.It makes people's brain more active and alert.
【4】What's the writer's purpose in writing paragraph 4?
A.To add another aspect of the topic.
B.To support the result of the research.
C.To sum up the main idea of the passage.
D.To provide some background information.

【题目】 It's free and requires no equipment. Besides, the scenery can be amazing. It's no wonder running is among the world’ s most popular sports. Research suggests running can significantly improve your health. 【1】
Running just once a week, or 50 minutes a week, reduces the risk of death at a given point in time. 【2】 This is good news for those who don't have much time on their hands for exercise. But it shouldn't discourage those who enjoy running longer and more often. We found even "hardcore" running (for example, every day or four hours a week) is beneficial for health. Nor do the benefits necessarily increase by running at high speeds. We found similar benefits for running at any speed between 8 and 13 km/h. It might be that running at your own "most comfortable pace" is the best for your health.
【3】 Running may lead to overuse injuries. These occur as a consequence of repeated mechanical stress on the tissue without enough time for recovery. Sudden death is also likely to happen during exercise, though, this occurs very rarely.
Therefore, for beginning runners, start slow and gradually increase the pace, duration and weekly frequency. Set your aim at 50 minutes a week or more, and run at a comfortable speed.
If you don't like running alone, consider doing it along with others. 【4】 It can be hard to start running, but it shouldn't be too hard. 【5】 There are more than 800 other interesting sports to choose from. The benefits of many other sports (such as swimming, tennis, cycling and aerobics) are comparable to the ones found for running.
A.If you don't like running, don't force it.
B.However, keep it in mind that there are risks as well.
C.It also indicates you needn't run fast or far to gain the benefit.
D.It can increase your motivation and provide a fun social experience.
E.Running may help you live longer but more isn't necessarily better.
F.The benefit doesn't seem to increase or decrease with higher amounts of running.
G.Doing it in many sessions spread across the week brings much more benefits.

【题目】 The time-out (暂停)is a method to punish your children's misbehavior (不当行为).Children are taken away from their present situation for a few minutes. During the time-out they are put in a place and not allowed to do anything. It's a great way to help your children calm down and realize their shortcomings. 【1】.
Decide what is worth a time-out
Find a quiet moment to discuss a time-out principle for your family, determining where you'll give time-outs, for what reasons, and for how long. 【2】. And you can make your first time-out feel prepared and calm.
Give a warning
Instead of suddenly giving a time-out to your children, warn them that they'll get one if they continue to be naughty. 【3】. At this age children are often angry without realizing it.
Giving them a time-out can make them calm. Some kids dislike time-outs very much, so that finally the warning itself does the job. However, warnings are not enough. When your children hit, kick, or bite someone, use a time-out right away.
【4】
It's a good idea to choose a time-out place, such as a chair or the end of a hallway. But remember that the place you choose needs to be safe and shouldn't be frightening.
Decide how long time-outs will last
【5】. Your children should have enough time to stop misbehaving and calm down. If it is too short or too long, your children may forget the punishment or become upset. Many experts advise one minute per year of your children's age. You can watch the clock yourself or set an alarm clock and tell them that the punishment is over when it rings.
A. Select a place
B. Use time-out regularly
C. A time-out needs enough time
D. You needn't make decisions in a hurry
E. Here are a few ways to make it work for you
F. Give your children hugs and kisses after the time-out
G. This gives them a chance to control their own behavior first
