　　Peng Liyuan has been wearing Ma Ke's designs for more than a decade, a fact that was only highlighted recently when she was on her first state visit, accompanying her husband President Xi Jinping. The elegant and attractive Peng, formerly a popular singer, has been compared with the US’ first lady Michelle Obama and France’s Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, since stepping off the airplane in Moscow on March 22. Suddenly, everyone was curious to know more about the first lady’s wardrobe.

　　Even so, Ma prefers a low-key approach. “If you eat a tasty egg why would you want to see the hen?” she says of all the media attention.

　　Ma’s relationship with Peng began 10 years ago after a concert in Guangzhou when a reporter told Peng she knew the designer behind the label Exception de Mixmind. Peng asked for an introduction because she was a fan of Ma’s designs and had been wearing them for years.

　　The two naturally became friends. Ma says: “The painting reflects the painter, and clothes reflect both the designer and the wearer. Someone desires fame and wealth, or love and sympathy; what you have in your heart is reflected in the design. Those who don’t share my philosophy won’t buy my clothes. Peng is a caring person, devoted to charity and environmental protection, which is exactly what I’m doing now.”

　　However, regardless of the brand, Peng’s support of Chinese labels has surprised millions of Chinese who favor foreign fashion brands.

　　“Instead she presented a vision of Chinese fashion, desiring to bring Chinese designers to the world stage,” says a western designer.

　　The first lady’s double-breasted coat and her black leather handbag aren’t available at any of Exception’s shops, though Exception’s physical stores do have seen a rising number of visitors.

　　B. Peng’s suits can be bought in Ma Ke’s clothes stores.

　　B. Many citizens found Peng Liyuan’s choice quite unexpected.

　　C. Black leather handbags like Peng’s are widely sold in bag stores in big cities.

　　D. After Peng Liyuan’s visit to Moscow Ma Ke’s clothes became more popular.

　　1.A主旨大意题。根据The reporter released the secret—Ma Ke.故选A。

　　.B词义猜测题。根据Even so, Ma prefers a low-key approach.故选B。

　　.D推理判断题。根据Ma’s relationship with Peng began 10 years ago after a concert in Guangzhou when a reporter told Peng she knew the designer behind the label Exception de Mixmind.Peng asked for an introduction because she was a fan of Ma’s designs and had been wearing them for years.故选D。

　　阅读理解阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。Fear may be felt in the heart as well as in the head，according to a study that has found a link between the cycles of a beating heart and the chance of someone feeling fear. Tests on healthy volunteers found that they were more likely to feel a sense of fear at the moment when their hearts are contracting(收缩)and pumping blood around their bodies，compared with the point when the heartbeat is relaxed. Scientists say the results suggest that the heart is able to influence how the brain responds to a fearful event，depending on which point it is at in its regular cycle of contraction and relaxation. Sarah Garfinkel at the Brighton and Sussex Medical School said：“Our study shows for the first time that the way in which we deal with fear is different depending on when we see fearful pictures in relation to our heart.” The study tested 20 healthy volunteers on their reactions to fear as they were shown pictures of fearful faces. Dr Garfinkel said，“The study showed that fearful faces are better noticed when the heart is pumping than when it is relaxed. Thus our hearts can also affect what we see and what we don't see—and guide whether we see fear.” To further understand this relationship，the scientists also used a brain scanner to show how the brain influences the way the heart changes a person's feeling of fear. “We have found an important mechanism by which the heart and brain ‘speak’ to each other to change our feelings and reduce fear，” Dr Garfinkel said. “We hope that by increasing our understanding about how fear is dealt with and ways that it could be reduced, we may be able to develop more successful treatments for anxiety disorders，and also for those who may be suffering from serious stress disorder.” ．What is the finding of the study? A. One's fast heartbeats are likely to cause fear.　B. Fear is a result of one's relaxed heartbeat. C. Fear has something to do with one's health.D. One's heart affects how he feels fear. 2．The study was carried out by analyzing   ________.

　　A. volunteers' reactions to horrible pictures and data from their brain scans

　　B. the time volunteers saw fearful pictures and their health conditions C. volunteers' heartbeats when they saw terrible pictures D. different pictures shown to volunteers and their heart－brain communication ．Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “mechanism” in

　　Paragraph 6? A. Order.  

　　B. Machine. C. System. 

　　D. Treatment. ．This study may contribute to    ________． A. explaining the cycle of fear and anxietyB. treating anxiety and stress better　

　　C. finding the key to the heart－brain communication D. understanding different fears in our hearts and heads

Everything imaginable is provided for entertainment of young and old.

　　【2016高考训练】阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

　　In rainy London, always carry your “brolly”

　　BIG Ben，the Queen，a plate of ham and eggs-no, no, no. If you’re looking for a

　　symbol of Britain，only one thing passes the test-the umbrella.

　　Now, I know what you’re thinking—we have rain in China and we have umbrellas too. Certainly, I will never forget the way it rained when I lived in Beijing：the sweets became instant rivers and the sky flashed with lightning for hours on end. People dove for cover under bin bags, the shops were emptied of their plastic ponchos(斗篷)within seconds，and I found myself soaked(浸透)from head to foot, my poorly-chosen skirt and T-shirt now totally see-through. This would never have happened in Britain.

　　For one thing, during my year in Beijing, it only really rained at about 10 times.

　　But although we never get a Beijing-style washout in London, the drizzle(毛毛雨)that does fall is all but constant．Even when the sky is perfectly blue, you can be sure it's going to cloud over and start drizzling again within the hour.

　　And when it does, there is chaos. Trains stop, drains(下水道)block, and buses break down as if this was the first time the local authorities had seen this wet stuff coming out of the clouds.

　　So—as with so many things in the UK-it’s up to ordinary people to sort themselves out. No self-respecting Briton will ever leave home without his “brolly” --as the umbrella is affectionately(亲切地)known.

　　A brolly has hundreds of uses, even on rare rain-free days. A real gentleman of London will use his umbrella as a walking stick. A traditional game of cricket can be played using an umbrella as a hat. Nor do you ever have to be afraid of robbers-your umbrella doubles as a defensive weapon.

　　There is no brolly more British than my own．But it's not from London or Manchester or any where in the UK. It was a gift from my Chinese teacher—in Beijing．

　　. The author mentioned her rainy weather experience in Beijing to show that _____.

　　A. many foreigners have embarrassing moments living in Beijing

　　B. the rain in Beijing is usually much heavier than the rain in London

　　C. British people are more used to rainy weather than Chinese people

　　D. both Beijing and Londoners have unpleasant experience with sudden rain

　　2．The underlined word “this” in the second paragraph refers to _____.

　　A. people getting extremely wet on rainy days

　　B. sudden rain leading to traffic troubles

　　C. people being well-prepared on rainy days

　　D. it only raining a dozen times per year

　　3．The underlined word “chaos” in paragraph 5 probably means _____.

　　A. doubt

　　B. excitement

　　C. joy

　　D．disorder

　　．The tone of the articles is _____.

　　A. humorous

　　B. optimistic

　　C. objective

　　D. annoyed—4、CADA

　　阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

　　It's 5：00 in the morning when the alarm (闹钟) rings in my ears. I roll out of bed and walk blindly through the dark into the bathroom. I turn on the light and put on my glasses. The house is still as I walk downstairs while my husband and three kids sleep peacefully. Usually I go for a long run, but today I choose my favorite exercise DVD, Insanity. Sweat pours down my face and into my eyes. My heart races as I force my body to finish each movement. As I near the end of the exercise, I feel extremely tired, but a smile is on my face. It's not a smile because the DVD is over, but a smile of success from pushing my body to its extreme limit.

　　Some people enjoy shopping, smoking, food, work, or even chocolate. But I need exercise to get through each day. Some shake heads when they see me run through the town. Others get hurt when I refuse to try just one bite of their grandmother's chocolate cake. They raise their eyebrows, surprised by my “no thank you，” or by my choice to have a salad. Over the years, I have learned it's okay to just say “no”. I shouldn't feel sorry for refusing food that I don't want to eat.

　　So what drives me to roll out of bed at 5：00 a．m.？What gives me the reason to just say no to ice cream? Commitment. A commitment to change my life with a way that reduces daily anxiety, increases self­confidence and energy，extends life and above all improves my body shape.This is the point where a smile appears on my face as I look at myself in the mirror or try on my favorite pair of jeans that now fit just right.It's through commitment and sweat that I can make a difference within myself inside and out.

　　一个每天按时起床锻炼身体的女人，一个有着自己个性与喜好的女人，为了保持自己的体型，降低压力，提高自信，坚持着这种日复一日的锻炼，让自己每天都挂着笑容面对生活。

　　1．Why is there a smile on the author's face in the morning?

　　A．Because she sees her family sleeping peacefully.

　　B．Because she finishes her favorite exercise.

　　C．Because she enjoys the interesting DVD.

　　D．Because she feels a sense of achievement.

　　答案：D。细节判断题。根据第一个段落的最后一句话， 先排除C的说法；在本句中“a smile of success of pushing…”可以断定其实是一种成就感令她脸上挂着笑容。最大的干扰项可能会是B，但如果细读，会找到关键词“success”。

　　2．Which of the following is TRUE according to Paragraph 2?

　　A．She doesn't treat others politely.

　　B．She likes to make others surprised.

　　C．Others don't understand what she dose.

　　D．Others try to help her by offering her food.

　　答案：C。细节判断题。从本段的情节来看，选项A，D都相差甚远；而“I need exercise to get through each day”正是表明了作者的喜好，而不是像选项B说的喜欢出奇，故排除B。从“raised their eyebrows, surprised by...”来看，其实别人是感到奇怪而已。

　　3．What does the underlined word “commitment” in the last paragraph mean?

　　A．Good health.

　　B．Firm belief.

　　C．A strong power.

　　D．A regular habit.

　　答案：B。词意理解题。从全文的语境信息来看，这么多年，这么坚持，这么享受，而且从“sweat”一词身上也能找到提示，即：坚定的信念与汗水，故选项B最符合语境。

　　4．What can we learn about the author from the text?

　　A．She acts in a strange way.

　　B．She wants to look different from others.

　　C．She aims to develop a good body shape.

　　D．She has difficulty getting along with others.

　　答案：C。理解判断题。文章的最后一段中有一句话“above all improves my body shape”，从这句话中可以确定选项C的说法是正确的。
