一: 完形填空
Could a hug a day keep the doctor away? The answer may be a resounding "yes!" 1. Besides helping you feel close and 2. connected to people you care about, it turns out that hugs can bring a 3. host of health benefits to your body and mind. Believe it or not, a warm embrace might even help you 4. avoid getting sick this winter.
In a recent study 5. involving over 400 healthy adults, researchers from Carnegie Mellon University examined the effects of perceived social support and the receipt of hugs 6. on the participants' susceptibility to developing the common cold after being 7. exposed to the virus. People who perceived greater social support were less likely to come 8. down with a cold, and the researchers 9. calculated that the stress-buffering effects of hugging 10. explained about 32 percent of that beneficial effect. 11. Even among those who got a cold, the ones who felt greater social support and received more frequent hugs had less severe 12. symptoms.
"Hugging protects people who are under stress from the 13. increased risk for colds that's usually 14. associated with stress," notes Sheldon Cohen, a professor of psychology at Carnegie. Hugging "is a marker of intimacy and helps 15. generate the feeling that others are there to help 16. in the face of difficulty."
Some experts 17. attribute the stress-reducing, health-related benefits of hugging to the release of oxytocin, often called "the bonding hormone" 18. because it promotes attachment in relationships, including between mothers and their newborn babies. Oxytocin is made primarily in the central lower part of the brain, and some of it is released into the bloodstream. But some of It 19. remains in the brain, where it 20. influences mood, behavior and physiology.

六:大作文
解析
今年大作继续跟去年一样:双图。第一段的描述完全套用讲过的:"花式35词"写作法,第二段用"公式写法"。只要认真背过的同学,在考场上的状态应该是"默写"。而各位同学在选择核心词时完全可以参考在强化以及点睛中讲过的:diligence、painstaking efforts、taking actions或者直接参考图下文字:reading books。
Low哥范文:
In the picture, there is an arrogant man who is in the left picture lying on a chair and staring at a substantial amount of books which he will never read. Meanwhile, there is an another diligent young man who is in the right picture facing the same circumstance and trying the best to finish his reading plan. The picture aims at informing us the importance of reading books and painstaking efforts.
First and foremost, reading books and painstaking efforts which lie close to one's academic career and prospective future are profound due to the fact that they were regarded as an indispensable part in our development of comprehensive quality. In addition, there is no exaggeration in saying that reading books and taking actions, as a matter of fact, will exert a positive influence on our future development, further contributing to the increase of our competitiveness. What's more, the young generation should put a very high value on reading books and diligence for the reason that this will better the efficiency of our academic performance and assignment.
From my perspective, it is high time for us to speak highly of reading books and painstaking efforts in the period from present to future. Only in this way can we live a decent life. Otherwise, our life would be negatively influenced.
