原文】 Across the British Isles, tomorrow will be warmer, but not everywhere. So, let’s look at the weather in more detail, and I’ll start with the South. In all of Southern England, tomorrow will be the sunniest day of the week. Temperatures will be around eighteen degrees in most of the area and will get to twenty in Cornwall. Across Wales and the Midlands, we can expect a sunny day with some clouds. The morning won’t be very warm — only eight degrees. But the temperature will rise to fourteen degrees during the afternoon.
In the North of England, Saturday will be a windy day, and that strong west wind will bring rainy weather from the Atlantic. Temperatures will be around thirteen degrees.
Now for Scotland and Northern Ireland. There will be quite a lot of rain. The Highlands will have the wettest weather. The rain will be heavy there, and high up in the mountains it may still snow tonight and tomorrow night. Temperatures at best will be around eleven degrees.

W: I’m really happy with it, Pat.
M: How long did you have your old one
W: Let me think. I bought it about a year before I came to live in this flat and I’ve been here for nearly three years. It was really slow. This one is much faster.
M: Apart from the speed, is there anything else you like about it
W: Yes. There are lots of things that are much better. I don’t have to remember my password when I sign in. I can just start the computer up, look at the screen and when it recognizes my face, it’ll be ready to use.
M: What else do you like about it
W: It’s lighter than the last one and the screen size is smaller. Most of all, it’s got quite a long battery life. The only thing I’m not so happy about is its color. I had to get it in black. I really wanted one in silver but they didn’t have one.

12. enjoy 13. purpose
14. schedule
15. spare
【解析】
【原文】People talk a lot about finding their dream job. But what if your dream job is just a dream The fact is that most of us take and keep jobs for practical reasons like location or pay. But no one wants to spend the majority of their hours doing something that they don’t enjoy. What if you could find happiness and meaning in any job, even when it isn’t the one you dreamed of First, what exactly makes a job meaningful A study by the University of Chicago found that a feeling of purpose and particularly the ability to help others can lead to higher job satisfaction. What if helping people isn’t a key feature of your job Maybe you need to look at it differently. A great way to find meaning at work is through connection with workmates or customers. For example, Luke worked at a hospital. His job duties included things like cleaning rooms, but not working with people. However, Luke told researchers that through his job, he was making patients feel more comfortable and he took great pride. It is also important to remember your job can be what allows you to do other important things in your life. Maybe the schedule allows you to volunteer in your community in your spare time. You can find meaning in your job in more indirect ways like these.

What a day! I started at my new school this morning and had the best time. I made lots of new friends and really liked my teachers. I was nervous the night before, but I had no reason to be. Everyone was so friendly and polite. They made me feel at ease. It was like I’d been at the school for a hundred years!
The day started very early at 7:00 am. I had my breakfast downstairs with my mom. She could tell that I was very nervous. Mom kept asking me what was wrong. She told me I had nothing to worry about and that everyone was going to love me. If they didn’t love me, Mom said to send them her way for a good talking to. I couldn’t stop laughing.
My mom dropped me off at the school gates about five minutes before the bell. A little blonde (金发的) girl got dropped off at the same time and started waving (招手) at me. She ran over and told me her name was Abigail. She was very nice and we became close straight away. We spent all morning together and began to talk to another girl called Stacey. The three of us sat together in class all day and we even made our way home together! It went so quickly. Our teacher told us that tomorrow we would really start learning and developing new skills.
I cannot wait until tomorrow and feel as though I am really going to enjoy my time at my new school. I only hope that my new friends feel the same way too.

When Sugar arrived at the Exploits Valley SPCA in July, he had a disease related to breathing that required medication. Therefore, he needed to stay at the shelter a bit longer than other animals before he could be adopted.
While Sugar recovered, he developed a close relationship with all of the shelter staff members and volunteers, and loved showing off what a sweet little kitten he was. “He was extremely popular from the beginning,” Sarah, a worker of the Exploits Valley SPCA said.
One of the volunteers who Sugar saw a lot was Glen. Glen has been volunteering at the shelter for the past 30 years and really loved it. He was often arranged to clean the room where Sugar was staying, and every time Sugar saw Glen, he got so excited. “Sugar would shout loudly at Glen to make him stop doing his work,” Sarah said. Every time Glen passed by Sugar, Sugar would meow endlessly until Glen finally gave him some love and attention.
Over the past 30 years, Glen had fallen in love with countless cats, but still managed to see them off to their forever homes. Something about Sugar was different, though. The relationship between Glen and Sugar was clearly special. Glen certainly hadn’t had any plans to adopt a kitten. After a while, though, it became clear that Sugar wasn’t going to be happy unless he was always by Glen’s side. He knew what he had to do.
Sugar has now settled into his new home and loving life. Every time Glen wakes up and sees Sugar, he knows he made the right decision.
23. What can we know about Sugar at the shelter
A. He failed to find an owner.
B. He came with a badly hurt body.
C. He had to live there to receive treatment.
D. He liked making fun of the workers there.
24. Which of the following can best describe Sugar
A. Friendly and sociable. B. Hardworking and careful.
C. Talented and confident. D. Thoughtful and helpful.
25. Why did Sugar probably always shout at Glen
A. To push Glen to clean his room quickly. B. To hope for Glen’s attention and care.
C. To remind Glen of the danger. D. To try to cheer Glen up.
26. What did Glen manage to do in the end
A. Help Sugar get a trustful owner. B. Adopt many cats from the shelter.
C. Make Sugar a member of his family. D. Look after Sugar carefully at the shelter.

Exercise could not only benefit your body, but also improve your memory, researchers found recently. In their paper published on Monday, researchers from the University of California in the US and the University of Tsukuba in Japan introduced their experiment and conclusion.
Scientists invited 36 volunteers who were in their early 20s to do 10 minutes of light exercise before taking a memory test in which they were shown pictures like broccoli (西兰花) or picnic baskets and asked to recall them later. The same experiment was repeated with the same group of volunteers without exercising. “The memory task was really quite challenging,” said Michael Yassa, co-author of the study and a neuroscientist (神经科学家) at the University of California. “We used trickily similar items to see if they would remember whether it was this exact picnic basket or that picnic basket.”
Researchers also scanned some of the brains of the participants during the experiment. They found that the brains of those who exercised strengthened their ability to remember things. This suggested that just 10 minutes of light exercise like walking, yoga or Tai Chi might increase memory.
As all the volunteers in the experiment were relatively young, researchers are still working to look at the effects of light exercise on older people. “Our future goal is to try to develop an exercise prescription that can be used by older adults who might have disabilities or limited movements, but can still take very simple exercise and be able to, perhaps, put off the reduction of cognitive (认知的) skills slowly,” said Yassa.
27. What is the function of Paragraph 1
A. To correct a mistake. B. To introduce two universities.
C. To give practical advice. D. To present a research result.
28. Why was the memory task quite challenging according to Yassa
A. The people in the experiment were disabled. B. The items to be chosen were extremely similar.
C. The time to solve the questions was too limited. D. The questions to be asked were too complicated.
29. What is the underlined word “prescription” probably similar to
A. Ability. B. Benefit. C. Method. D. Detail.
30. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Exercise Can Improve Older People’s Cognitive Abilities
B. Ten Minutes of Exercise a Day Might Improve Memory
C. Exercise Is Beneficial to Both Young and Old
D. Advantages of Exercising Regularly
【答案】27. D 28. B 29. C 30. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要介绍了一项研究结果，每天十分钟的运动可能会提高记忆力。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“Exercise could not only benefit your body, but also improve your memory, researchers found recently.(研究人员最近发现，锻炼不仅有益于身体，还能改善记忆力)”可知，本段简单阐述了近日的一项研究结果。故选D项。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段Yassa的话“We used trickily similar items to see if they would remember whether it was this exact picnic basket or that picnic basket.(我们巧妙地使用类似的物品，看他们是否会记得是这个野餐篮还是那个野餐篮)”可知，志愿者要选择的两项物品之间极其相似，以至于记忆难度富有挑战。故选B项。
【29题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线词所在句子可知该词下文“that can be used by older adults who might have disabilities or limited movements(可以用于可能有残疾或行动受限的老年人)”是对划线词语的修饰和补充，故prescription意为“处方”，与method“方法”意思接近。故选C项。
【30题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，根据文章首句“Exercise could not only benefit your body, but also improve your memory, researchers found recently.(研究人员最近发现，锻炼不仅有益于身体，还能改善记忆力)”，以及第三段最后一句话“This suggested that just 10 minutes of light exercise like walking, yoga or Tai Chi might increase memory.(这表明，只需10分钟的轻度运动，如散步、瑜伽或太极，就可以提高记忆力)”可知，本文的最合适的标题为“每天锻炼十分钟可能会提高记忆力”。故选B项。

【31题详解】
根据空后内容“It can affect sports performance, increase our chances of getting sick, and may be linked to weight gain in some people.(它会影响运动表现，增加我们生病的机会，并且可能与某些人的体重增加有关。)”可知，下文主要讲述的是对我们身体上的不好的影响。而这自然和睡眠不好有关。选项G“Lack of sleep can affect everything from our emotions to how well we focus on tasks like driving.(睡眠不足会影响方方面面，从我们的情绪到我们对驾驶等任务的专注程度。)”提到的正是睡眠不足的坏处，而“lack of sleep”正是导致空后身体问题的原因。故选G。

Just don’t work out too close to bedtime because exercise can wake you up before it slows you down.(你可能已经注意到小孩子们经常跑来跑去，他们睡得多好。每天至少锻炼60分钟。体育活动可以减轻压力，帮助人们感到更放松。只是不要在临睡前锻炼，因为锻炼会在你慢下来之前把你叫醒。)”可知，本段主要讲述的是白天要多锻炼，晚上才能更放松。选项B“Be active during the day.(白天要活跃。)”与本地主要内容相一致。故选B。

根据空前“Keep a sleep routine.(保持睡眠规律。)”可知，作者建议睡眠要有规律。选项F“Going to bed at the same time every night helps the body expect sleep.(每晚在同一时间睡觉有助于身体期待睡眠。)”与上文内容相一致，指的正是要有规律地睡眠。故选F。
【35题详解】
根据空后“Say, “Tonight, I will sleep well” several times during the day.(在白天说几次“今晚，我要睡个好觉”。)”可知，作者建议在白天要多对自己进行心理暗示，认为自己肯定可以睡个好觉。选项E“Instead of worrying that you won’t sleep, remind yourself that you can.(与其担心你睡不着，不如提醒自己你可以。)”即承接上文“Stress can cause insomnia (失眠), so the more you suffer from not sleeping, the greater the risk you’ll lie awake staring at the ceiling.(压力会导致失眠，所以你越失眠，你就越有可能躺在床上盯着天花板睡不着。)”指的是不要担心，同时引出下文多在白天进行心理暗示。故选E。

【53题详解】

【答案】Hi Worried,
I’m sorry to know that you’re having such a bad time at the moment. The truth is that everyone will have one of those periods when things seem to be wrong, so you don’t have to worry so much. The important thing is to learn to control your temper so that you may not do or say anything you’ll regret. Here are three useful tips:
First, talk to someone you trust about how you feel. This is a good way of letting your anger out without hurting others or yourself. Second, go outdoors and play team games with your friends, as physical exercise is an effective way to get rid of anger. And third, remain optimistic about your future. Such a positive attitude towards life can be helpful in lifting your spirits.
I hope you’ll soon feel calmer and carry on as normal
Yours,
Jamie

What a day! I started at my new school this morning and had the best time. I made lots of new friends and really liked my teachers. I was nervous the night before, but I had no reason to be. Everyone was so friendly and polite. They made me feel at ease. It was like I’d been at the school for a hundred years!
The day started very early at 7:00 am. I had my breakfast downstairs with my mom. She could tell that I was very nervous. Mom kept asking me what was wrong. She told me I had nothing to worry about and that everyone was going to love me. If they didn’t love me, Mom said to send them her way for a good talking to. I couldn’t stop laughing.
My mom dropped me off at the school gates about five minutes before the bell. A little blonde (金发的) girl got dropped off at the same time and started waving (招手) at me. She ran over and told me her name was Abigail. She was very nice and we became close straight away. We spent all morning together and began to talk to another girl called Stacey. The three of us sat together in class all day and we even made our way home together! It went so quickly. Our teacher told us that tomorrow we would really start learning and developing new skills.

When Sugar arrived at the Exploits Valley SPCA in July, he had a disease related to breathing that required medication. Therefore, he needed to stay at the shelter a bit longer than other animals before he could be adopted.
While Sugar recovered, he developed a close relationship with all of the shelter staff members and volunteers, and loved showing off what a sweet little kitten he was. “He was extremely popular from the beginning,” Sarah, a worker of the Exploits Valley SPCA said.
One of the volunteers who Sugar saw a lot was Glen. Glen has been volunteering at the shelter for the past 30 years and really loved it. He was often arranged to clean the room where Sugar was staying, and every time Sugar saw Glen, he got so excited. “Sugar would shout loudly at Glen to make him stop doing his work,” Sarah said. Every time Glen passed by Sugar, Sugar would meow endlessly until Glen finally gave him some love and attention.
Over the past 30 years, Glen had fallen in love with countless cats, but still managed to see them off to their forever homes. Something about Sugar was different, though. The relationship between Glen and Sugar was clearly special. Glen certainly hadn’t had any plans to adopt a kitten. After a while, though, it became clear that Sugar wasn’t going to be happy unless he was always by Glen’s side. He knew what he had to do.
Sugar has now settled into his new home and loving life. Every time Glen wakes up and sees Sugar, he knows he made the right decision.
23. What can we know about Sugar at the shelter
A. He failed to find an owner.
B. He came with a badly hurt body.
C. He had to live there to receive treatment.
D. He liked making fun of the workers there.
24. Which of the following can best describe Sugar
A. Friendly and sociable. B. Hardworking and careful.
C. Talented and confident. D. Thoughtful and helpful.
25. Why did Sugar probably always shout at Glen
A. To push Glen to clean his room quickly. B. To hope for Glen’s attention and care.
C. To remind Glen of the danger. D. To try to cheer Glen up.
26. What did Glen manage to do in the end
A. Help Sugar get a trustful owner. B. Adopt many cats from the shelter.
C. Make Sugar a member of his family. D. Look after Sugar carefully at the shelter.

Exercise could not only benefit your body, but also improve your memory, researchers found recently. In their paper published on Monday, researchers from the University of California in the US and the University of Tsukuba in Japan introduced their experiment and conclusion.
Scientists invited 36 volunteers who were in their early 20s to do 10 minutes of light exercise before taking a memory test in which they were shown pictures like broccoli (西兰花) or picnic baskets and asked to recall them later. The same experiment was repeated with the same group of volunteers without exercising. “The memory task was really quite challenging,” said Michael Yassa, co-author of the study and a neuroscientist (神经科学家) at the University of California. “We used trickily similar items to see if they would remember whether it was this exact picnic basket or that picnic basket.”
Researchers also scanned some of the brains of the participants during the experiment. They found that the brains of those who exercised strengthened their ability to remember things. This suggested that just 10 minutes of light exercise like walking, yoga or Tai Chi might increase memory.
As all the volunteers in the experiment were relatively young, researchers are still working to look at the effects of light exercise on older people. “Our future goal is to try to develop an exercise prescription that can be used by older adults who might have disabilities or limited movements, but can still take very simple exercise and be able to, perhaps, put off the reduction of cognitive (认知的) skills slowly,” said Yassa.
27. What is the function of Paragraph 1
A. To correct a mistake. B. To introduce two universities.
C. To give practical advice. D. To present a research result.
28. Why was the memory task quite challenging according to Yassa
A. The people in the experiment were disabled. B. The items to be chosen were extremely similar.
C. The time to solve the questions was too limited. D. The questions to be asked were too complicated.
29. What is the underlined word “prescription” probably similar to
A. Ability. B. Benefit. C. Method. D. Detail.
30 What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Exercise Can Improve Older People’s Cognitive Abilities
B. Ten Minutes of Exercise a Day Might Improve Memory
C. Exercise Is Beneficial to Both Young and Old
D. Advantages of Exercising Regularly

Five Ideas for a Better Sleep
Most teens need about 8.5 to more than 9 hours of sleep each night. But about 1 in 4 teens has trouble sleeping. ____31____ It can affect sports performance, increase our chances of getting sick, and may be linked to weight gain in some people. How can we get the sleep we need Here are some ideas.
_____32_____ You’ve probably noticed how much running around little kids do and how well they sleep. Get at least 60 minutes of exercise a day. Physical activity can decrease stress and help people feel more relaxed. Just don’t work out too close to bedtime because exercise can wake you up before it slows you down.
Avoid alcohol and drugs. Lots of people think that alcohol or drugs will make them relaxed, but that’s not the case. Drugs and alcohol increase a person’s chance of waking up in the middle of the night.
____33____ Experts recommend using the bedroom for sleep only. If you can’t make your bedroom a tech-free zone, at least shut everything down an hour or more before lights go out.
Keep a sleep routine. ____34____ Relax every night by reading, listening to music, spending time with a pet, or writing in a journal.
Expect a good night’s sleep. Stress can cause insomnia (失眠), so the more you suffer from not sleeping, the greater the risk you’ll lie awake staring at the ceiling. ____35____ Say, “Tonight, I will sleep well” several times during the day.
A. Take some exercise before bed.
B. Be active during the day.
C Say goodnight to electronic equipment.
D. Everyone has a sleepless night once in a while.
E. Instead of worrying that you won’t sleep, remind yourself that you can.
F. Going to bed at the same time every night helps the body expect sleep.
