There’s a welcome familiarity - but also sometimes a slight suspicion that time has changed you both, and thus the relationship. But books don’t change, people do. And that’s what makes the act of rereading so rich and transformative.。
The beauty of rereading lies in the idea that our bond with the work is based on our present mental register. It’s true, the older I get, the more I feel time has wings. But with reading, it’s all about the present. It’s about the now and what one contributes to the now, because reading is a give and take between author and reader. Each has to pull their own weight.
There are three books I reread annually The first, which I take to reading every spring is Emest Hemningway’s A Moveable Feast. Published in 1964, it’s his classic memoir of 1920s Paris. The language is almost intoxicating (
令人陶醉的),an aging writer looking back on an ambitious yet simpler time. Another is Annie Dillard’s Holy the Firm, her poetic 1975 ramble (
随笔) about everything and nothing. The third book is Julio Cortazar’s Save Twilight: Selected Poems, because poetry. And because Cortazar.
While I tend to buy a lot of books, these three were given to me as gifs, which might add to the meaning I attach to them. But I imagine that, while money is indeed wonderful and necessary, rereading an author’s work is the highest
currency a reader can pay them. The best books are the ones that open further as time passes. But remember, it’s you that has to grow and read and reread in order to better understand your friends.
24.Why does the author like rereading?A.It evaluates the writer-reader relationship.B.It’s a window to a whole new world.
C.It’s a substitute for drinking with a friend.D.It extends the understanding of oneself.25.What do we know about the book A Moveable Feas!?
A.It’s a brief account of a trip.B.It’s about Hemingway’s life as a young man.C.It’s a record of a historic event.
D.It’s about Hemingway’s friends in Paris.26.What does the underlined word "currency" in paragraph 4 refer to?
A.DebtB.Reward.C.Allowance.D.Face value.27.What can we infer about the author from the text?A.He loves poetry.

Race walkers are conditioned athletes. The longest track and field event at the Summer Olympics is the 50-kilometer race walk, which is about five miles longer than the marathon. But the sport’s rules require that a race walker’s knees stay straight through most of the leg swing and one foot remain in contact (
接触) with the ground at all times. It’s this strange form that makes race walking such an attractive activity, however, says Jaclyn Norberg, an assistant professor of exercise science at Salem State University in Salem, Mass.
Like running, race walking is physically demanding, she says, According to most calculations, race walkers moving at a pace of six miles per hour would burn about 800 calories(
卡路里) per hour, which is approximately twice as many as they would burn walking, although fewer than running, which would probably burn about 1,000 or more calories per hour.
However, race walking does not pound the body as much as running does, Dr. Norberg says. According to her research, runners hit the ground with as much as four times their body weight per step, while race walkers, who do not leave the ground, create only about 1.4 times their body weight with each step.
As a result, she says, some of the injuries associated with running, such as runner’s knee, are uncommon among race walkers. But the sport’s strange form does place considerable stress on the ankles and hips, so people with a history of such injuries might want to be cautious in adopting the sport. In fact, anyone wishing to try race walking should probably first consult a coach or experienced racer to learn proper technique, she says. It takes some practice.306
28.Why are race walkers conditioned athletes?A.They must run long distances.B.They are qualified for the marathon.
C.They have to follow special rules.D.They are good at swinging their legs.29.What advantage does race walking have over running?
A.It’s more popular at the Olympics.B.It’s less challenging physically.C.It’s more effective in body building.
D.It’s less likely to cause knee injuries.30.What is Dr. Norberg’s suggestion for someone trying race walking?
A.Getting experts’ opinions.B.Having a medical checkup.C.Hiring an experienced coach.D.Doing regular exercises.
31.Which word best describes the author’s attitude to race walking?A.Skeptical.B.Objective.C.Tolerant.
D.Conservative.【答案】28.C29.D30.A31.B【解析】本文是一篇说明文文章介绍了竞走相比跑步有诸多的优势,但是之前受过伤的人,要想从事这样运动要谨慎,最好咨询专家的建议28.细节理解题。
根据第二段“But the sport’s rules require that a race walker’s knees stay straight through most of the leg swing and one foot remain in contact with the ground at all times.”
可知,但这项运动的规则要求竞走者的膝盖在摆动腿的大部分时间保持伸直,一只脚始终与地面接触由此可知,竞走运动员是需要具备某些条件的运动员是因为运动员需要遵守特殊的规则故选C项29.细节理解题根据最后一段“As a result, she says, some of the injuries associated with running, such as runner’s knee, are uncommon among race walkers.”
可知,一些与跑步有关的损伤,比如跑步者的膝盖,在竞走者中并不常见由此可知,竞走与跑步相比的优势是不太可能导致膝盖受伤故选D项30.细节理解题根据最后一段Dr. Norberg说的话“In fact, anyone wishing to try race walking should probably first consult a coach or experienced racer to learn proper technique(。
事实上,任何想尝试竞走的人都应该首先咨询教练或有经验的竞走运动员,学习适当的技巧)”可知,Dr. Norberg建议想尝试竞走的人征询专家的建议故选A项31.推理判断题根据第一段“Race walking shares many fitness benefits with running, research shows, while most likely contributing to fewer injuries. It does, however, have its own problem.”。
可知,研究表明,竞走和跑步一样有很多健身益处,而且它还很少导致受伤不过,它也有自己的问题由此判断出作者对于竞走的态度是客观的故选B项DThe connection between people and plants has long been the subject of scientific research. Recent studies have found positive effects. A study conducted in Youngstown。
,Ohio,for example, discovered that greener areas of the city experienced less crime. In another,employees were shown to be 15% more productive when their workplaces were decorated with houseplants.
The engineers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology(MIT)have taken it a step further changing the actual composition of plants in order to get them to perform diverse
,even unusual functions. These include plants that have sensors printed onto their leaves to show when they’re short of water and a plant that can detect harmful chemicals in groundwater.
"We’re thinking about how we can engineer plants to replace functions of the things that we use every day,
"explained Michael Strano, a professor of chemical engineering at MIT.One of his latest projects has been to make plants grow(
发光)in experiments using some common vegetables. Strano’s team found that they could create a faint light for three-and-a-half hours. The light
,about one-thousandth of the amount needed to read by,is just a start. The technology, Strano said, could one day be used to light the rooms or even to turn tree into self-powered street lamps.
in the future,the team hopes to develop a version of the technology that can be sprayed onto plant leaves in a one-off treatment that would last the plant’s lifetime. The engineers are also trying to develop an on and off
"switch"where the glow would fade when exposed to daylight.Lighting accounts for about 7% of the total electricity consumed in the US. Since lighting is often far removed from the power source(
电源)-such as the distance from a power plant to street lamps on a remote highway-a lot of energy is lost during transmission(
传输).Glowing plants could reduce this distance and therefore help save energy.31632.What is the first paragraph mainly about?
A.A new study of different plants.B.A big fall in crime rates.C.Employees from various workplaces.D.Benefits from green plants.
33.What is the function of the sensors printed on plant leaves by MIT engineer?A.To detect plants’ lack of water
B.To change compositions of plantsC.To make the life of plants longer.D.To test chemicals in plants.34
.What can we expect of the glowing plants in the future?A.They will speed up energy production.B.They may transmit electricity to the home.
C.They might help reduce energy consumption.D.They could take the place of power plants.35.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

Glowing plants could reduce this distance and therefore help save energy.可知发光的植物可以缩短这段距离,从而帮助节约能源由此可知,这种发光的植物在未来可能有助于减少能源消耗。
故选C35.主旨大意题根据最后一段中Lighting accounts for about 7%of the total electricity consumed in the US. Since lighting is often far removed from the power source-such as the distance from a power plant to street lamps on a remote highway-a lot of energy is lost during transmission. Glowing plants could reduce this distance and therefore help save energy.。
可知照明约占美国总耗电量的7%由于照明通常远离电源,例如从发电厂到偏僻公路上路灯的距离,在传输过程中会损失大量能源发光的植物可以缩短这段距离,从而帮助节约能源结合文章主要说明了绿色植物对人们很有好处,因此麻省理工学院的工程师开发了一种发光植物,文章介绍了他们发明这种植物的过程,以及这种植物的一些优势,指出在未来发光植物有可能取代路灯,达到节约能源的作用。

Psychologist Susan Levine, an expert on mathematics development in young children the University of Chicago, found children who play with puzzles between ages 2 and 4 later develop better spatial skills. Puzzle play was found to be a significant predictor of cognition(
认知) after controlling for differences in parents’ income, education and the amount of parent talk, Levine said.
The researchers analyzed video recordings of 53 child-parent pairs during everyday activities at home and found children who play with puzzles between 26 and 46 months of age have better spatial skills when assessed at 54 months of age.
“The children who played with puzzles performed better than those who did not, on tasks that assessed their ability to rotate(
旋转)and translate shapes,” Levine said in a statement.The parents were asked to interact with their children as they normally would, and about half of children in the study played with puzzles at one time. Higher-income parents tended to have children play with puzzles more frequently, and both boys and girls who played with puzzles had better spatial skills. However, boys tended to play with more complex puzzles than girls, and the parents of boys provided more spatial language and were more active during puzzle play than parents of girls.
The findings were published in the journal Developmental Science.24224.In which aspect do children benefit from puzzle play?
A.Building confidence.B.Developing spatial skills.C.Learning self-control.D.Gaining high-tech knowledge.
25.What did Levine take into consideration when designing her experiment?A.Parents’ age.B.Children’s imagination.

所以是关于科学研究的B. A scientific study(一项科学研究)符合以上说法,故选B项CWhen you were trying to figure out what to buy for the environmentalist on your holiday list, fur probably didn’t cross your mind. But some ecologists and fashion (。
时装)enthusiasts are trying to bring back the market for fur made from nutria(海狸鼠).Unusual fashion shows in New Orleans and Brooklyn have(showcased)nutria fur made into clothes in different styles. “It sounds crazy to talk about guilt-free fur-unless you understand that the nutria are destroying vast wetlands every year”, says Cree McCree, project director of Righteous Fur.
Scientists in Louisiana were so concerned that they decided to pay hunters $5 a tail. Some of the fur ends up in the fashion shows like the one in Brooklyn last month.
Nutria were brought there from Argentina by fur farmers and let go into the wild. “The ecosystem down there can’t handle this non-native species(
物种).It’s destroying the environment. It’s them or us.” says Michael Massimi, an expert in this field.
The fur trade kept nutria check for decades,but when the market for nutria collapsed in the late 1980s
,the cat-sized animals multiplied like crazy.Biologist Edmond Mouton runs the nutria control program for Louisiana. He says it’s not easy to convince people that nutria fur is green, but he has no doubt about it. Hunters bring in more than 300,000 nutria tails a year, so part of Mouton’s job these days is trying to promote fur.
Then there’s Righteous Fur and its unusual fashion. Morgan says,”To give people a guilt-free option that they can wear without someone throwing paint on them-1 think that’s going to be a massive thing, at least here in New York.” Designer Jennifer Anderson admits it took her a while to come around to the opinion that using nutria fur for her creations is morally acceptable. She trying to come up with a label to attach to nutria fashions to show it is eco-friendly.318
28.What is the purpose of the fashion shows in New Orleans and Brooklyn?A.To promote guilt-free fur.B
.To expand the fashion market.C.To introduce a new brand.D.To celebrate a winter holiday.29.Why are scientists concerned about nutria?
A.Nutria damage the ecosystem seriously.B.Nutria are an endangered species.C.Nutria hurt local cat-sized animals.
D.Nutria are illegally hunted.30.What does the underlined word “collapsed” in paragraph 5 probably mean?
A.Boomed.B.Became mature.C.Remained stable.D.Crashed.31.What can we infer about wearing fur in New York according to Morgan?
A.It’s formal.B.It’s risky.C.It’s harmful.D.It’s traditional.【答案】28.A29.A30.D31.B【解析】本文是说明文介绍了美国新奥良和布鲁克林举办了不同寻常的时装秀。
展出海狸鼠制成的皮衣海狸鼠们每年都在破坏大片的湿地,因此设计师称这是一种环保的举措,科学家们也对海狸鼠损坏生态平衡表示了担忧28.推理判断题根据第二段Unusual fashion shows in New Orleans and Brooklyn have showcased nutria fur made into clothes in different styles. “It sounds crazy to talk about guilt-free fur-unless you understand that the nutria are destroying vast wetlands every year,”says Cree McCree, project director of Righteous Fur.。
得知,美国新奥尔良和布鲁克林举办了不同寻常的时装秀,时装秀上展出海狸鼠皮制成的不同风格的衣服,项目总监Cree McCree说:“除非了解海狸鼠正每年破坏大片湿地,否则谈论无罪感皮衣是很疯狂的事情”,可以判断出由于海狸鼠对生态造成了巨大的破坏,这场海狸鼠皮衣时装秀销售的是无罪恶感皮衣。
故选A29.推理判断题根据第三段Scientists in Louisiana were so concerned that they decided to pay hunters $5 a tail.。
得知,科学家们如此担心以至于他们决定按照一条海狸鼠尾巴付给猎人们5美元,可以推断出科学家们担忧海狸鼠们严重破坏生态平衡,故选A30.词义猜测题根据第五段The fur trade kept nutria in check for decades, but when the market for nutria collapsed in the late 1980s,the cat-sized animals multiplied like crazy. 。
得知,毛皮贸易使海狸鼠受到了几十年的控制,但是当海狸鼠市场在20世纪80年代末崩溃时,这种猫大小的动物数量疯长,根据but判断,这是转折关系,以前由于皮毛交易,海狸鼠处于控制,现在这种海狸鼠之所以能够数量激增,是由于市场不再销售海狸鼠皮毛导致的,可以推断出划线词
collapsed 是和D.crashed倒闭的意思最相近故选D31.推理判断题根据第二段Model Paige Morgan says, “To give people a guilt –free option that they can wear without someone throwing paint on them-I think that’s going to be a massive thing, at least in New York. ” 。
得知,为了给人们一种无罪的选择,人们可以穿皮衣而不被人们泼油漆,我认为在纽约将是一件巨大的事情,根据模特摩根所说得知,在纽约穿皮质衣服是有风险的故选BDI have a special place in my heart for libraries. I have for as long as I can remember. I was always an enthusiastic reader, sometimes reading up to three books a day as a child. Stories were like air to me and while other kids played ball or went to parties, I lived out adventures through the books I checked out from the library.。
My first job was working at the Ukiah Library when I was 16 years old .It was a dream job and I did everything from shelving books to reading to the children for story time.
As I grew older and became a mother, the library took on a new place and an added meaning in my life. I had several children and books were our main source(
来源) of entertainment. It was a big deal for us to load up and go to the local library, where my kids could pick out books to read or books they wanted me to read to them.
I always read ,using different voices ,as though I were acting out the stories with my voice and they loved it !It was a special time to bond with my children and it filled them with the wonderment of books .
Now, I see my children taking their children to the library and I love that the excitement of going to the library lives on form generation to generation.
As a novelist, I’ve found a new relationship with libraries. I encourage readers to go to their local library when they can’t afford to purchase a book. I see libraries as a safe haven(
避风港) for readers and writers, a bridge that helps put together a reader with a book. Libraries, in their own way, help fight book piracy(
盗版行为) and 1 think all writers should support libraries in a significant way when they can. Encourage readers to use the library. Share library announcements on your social media. Frequent them and talk about them when you can.335

猿)!"The creative team behind "Apes" used motion-capture (动作捕捉) technology to create digitalized animals, spending tens of millions of dollars on technology that I records an actor’s performance and later processes it with computer graphics to create a final image (
图像). In this case, one of a realistic-looking ape.Yet "Apes" is more exception than the rule. In fact, Hollywood has been hot on live animals lately. One nonprofit organization, which monitors the treatment or animals in filmed entertainment, is
keeping tabs on more than 2,000 productions this year. Already, a number of films, including "Water for Elephants," "The Hangover Part
Ⅱ" and "Zookeeper," have drawn the anger of activists who say the creatures acting in them haven’t been treated properly.
In some cases, it’s not so much the treatment of the animals on set in the studio that has activists worried; it’s the off-set training and living conditions that are raising concerns. And there are questions about the films made outside the States, which sometimes are not monitored as closely as productions filmed in the Sates.241

孤独), more families are choosing to live together.The doorway to peace and quiet, for Nick Bright at least, leads straight to his mother-in-law, she lives on the ground floor, while he lives upstairs with his wife and their two daughters.
Four years ago they all moved into a three-storey Victorian house in Bristol — one of a growing number of multigenerational families in the UK living together under the same roof. They share a front door and a washing machine, but Rita Whitehead has her own kitchen, bathroom, bedroom and living room on the ground floor.
“We floated the idea to my mum of sharing at a house,” says Kathryn Whitehead. Rita cuts in: “We spoke more with Nick because I think it’s a big thing for Nick to live with his mother-in-law.”
And what does Nick think? “From my standpoint, it all seems to work very well. Would I recommend it? Yes, I think I would.”
It’s hard to tell exactly how many people agree with him, but research indicates that the numbers have been rising for some time. Official reports suggest that the number of households with three generations living together had risen from 325,000 in 2002 to 419,000 in 2013.
Other varieties of multigenerational family are more common. Some people live with their elderly parents; many more adult children are returning to the family home, if they ever left. It is said that about 20% of 25-34-year-olds live with their parents, compared with 16% in 1991.The total number of all multigenerational households in Britain is thought to be about 1.8 million.
Stories like that are more common in parts of the world where multigenerational living is more firmly rooted. In India, particularly outside cities, young women are expected to move in with their husband’s family when they get married.318
28. Who mainly uses the ground floor in the Victorian house in Bristol?A. Nick. B. Rita.C. KathrynD. The daughters.
29. What is Nick’s attitude towards sharing the house with his mother-in -law?A. Positive.B. Carefree.
C. Tolerant.D. Unwilling.30. What is the author’s statement about multigenerational family based on?A. Family traditions.
B. Financial reports. C. Published statistics. D. Public opinions.31. What is the text mainly about?A. Lifestyles in different countries.
B. Conflicts between generations.C. A housing problem in Britain.D. A rising trend of living in the UK.

通读全文,尤其根据第一段“With the young unable to afford to leave home and the old at risk of isolation(孤独), more families are choosing to live together.”
可知,由于年轻人负担不起离家的费用,而老年人又面临着被孤立的风险,越来越多的家庭选择住在一起所以短文主要是关于英国生活方式的一种上升趋势故选D项DWe are the products of evolution, and not just evolution that occurred billions of years ago. As scientists look deeper into our genes (。
基因), they are finding examples of human evolution in just the past few thousand years. People in Ethiopian highlands have adapted to living at high altitudes. Cattle -raising people in East Africa and northern Europe have gained a mutation (
突变) that helps them digest milk as adults.On Thursday in an article published in Cell, a team of researchers reported a new kind of adaptation - not to air or to food, but to the ocean. A group of sea-dwelling people in Southeast Asia have evolved into better divers. The Bajau, as these people are known, number in the hundreds of thousands in Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines. They have traditionally lived on houseboats; in recent times, theyve also built houses on stilts (
支柱) in coastal waters. “They are simply a stranger to the land," said Redney C. Jubilado, a University of Hawaii researcher who studies the Bajau.
Dr. Jubilado first met the Bajau while growing up on Samal Island in the Philippines. They made a living as divers, spearfishing or harvesting shellfish. "We were so amazed that they could stay underwater much longer than us local islanders," Dr. Jubilado said. “I could see them actually walking under the sea."
In201, Melissa Ilardo, then a graduate student in genetics at the University of Copenhagen, heard about the Bajau. She wondered if centuries of diving could have led to the evolution of physical characteristics that made the task easier for them. “it seemed like the perfect chance for natural selection to act on a population," said Dr. Ilardo. She also said there were likely a number of other genes that help the Bajau dive.299
32. What does the author want to tell us by the examples in paragraph 1?A. Environmental adaptation of cattle raisers.
B. New knowledge of human evolution.C. Recent findings of human origin.D. Significance of food selection.
33. Where do the Bajau build their houses?A. In valleys.B. Near rivers.C. On the beach.D. Off the coast.
34. Why was the young Jubilado astonished at the Bajau?A. They could walk on stilts all day.B. They had a superb way of fishing.
C. They could stay long underwater.D. They lived on both land and water.35. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Bodies Remodeled for a Life at SeaB. Highlanders Survival SkillsC. Basic Methods of Genetic Research

Some people said it was an expected thing while others asked: Why now? What will you do?
For me, making the move to Israel is the fulfillment of a dream that has lasted for my 47 years of life. I have always known that Israel is my home. Over the years Israel has been in my heart, but I have found a number of reasons to put off making it my permanent residence: kids, the economy, education… you name an excuse, and at some point I have probably used it.
Truthfully, I believe that I was always just a little bit scared. And of course I still am, with the fear factor that is reported by the press surrounding the Israeli military and economy. However, it has come to the point when I have realized that for over 2000 years we have longed for this land, and that for 47 years I have denied the opportunity to make it my home. I am finally ready to fully grasp this opportunity.
Over the years, I have always loved visiting Israel. I have traveled there with my family, and enjoyed introducing thousands of travelers to the country. I have come to love all of these things about Israel as a tourist because I get to love my home. And as far as waiting for the “perfect” condition under which to
make aliyah, I believe the time is now!I have been asked many times if I am nervous about moving to Israel. Before I answer, I remember that we have overcome the Greeks, the Romans, the Russian killings, Hitler and the Holocaust(
大屠杀),and the armies of seven countries.How can I not feel confident that I , and my family, will overcome any difficulties that may come our way? I am not worrying, complaining, crying, or fearing as I prepare to make aliyah. I am proud and excited to say that I am fulfilling a 47-year-old dream: I am going home.
4.What does the author want to say in the passage?A.His dream is to come true after 47 years.B.It is a dilemma for him to return to Israel.
C.He didn’t live a happy life in Israel.D.It is a latest trend to fulfill everyone’s dream.5.The author didn’t return to Israel before because_________.
A.his children mainly held him backB.he failed to get determinedC.he didn’t save enough moneyD.he hoped to finish his education
6.What does the underlined part “make aliyah” mean in the passage?A.To return to Israel.B.To make a decision.
C.To live happily.D.To catch a chance.7.It can be inferred from the passage that ______.A.the author will be happy to meet his relatives in Israel
B.Israel is a familiar word but a strange place for the authorC.the Israeli suffered a lot in the history
D.Israel is still a place between wars and chaos【答案】4.A5.B6.A7.C【解析】作者在文中叙述了自己经历了在外流浪的47年后,决定带着家人回到以色列

, and you can even use it to clean your windows. And now, according to scientists, it may even the planets population survive climate change
.Researchers from the RIKEN Center for Sustainable Resource Science (CSRS) in Japan found that growing plants in vinegar makes them more resistant to droughts
. This could mean that in the future, worries about climate change affecting the worlds supply of food will be much lower
. The discovery was made after the researchers studied the Arabidopsis, a plant known for its ability to survive in dry weather
. It was found that when the plant was placed in drought﹣like conditions, it produced a chemical called acetate
(醋酸盐)﹣the main component of vinegar.After discovering this, the scientists experimented further by adding acetate to the soil of other plants
, before they stopped giving them water completely. After leaving the plants for 14days, they found that the ones treated with acetate had survived
, while the untreated plants had dried up and died.Its hoped that this simple method of survival could soon be used to help farmers in dry countries keep their crops alive
. "In the experiment, we targeted the staple foods of the world﹣rice, wheat and maize﹣and the basic plant of breeding species
, rapeseed(油菜籽)," Jong Myong Kim, co﹣author of the study, told Popular Science magazine.Kim also told the magazine hes already been in touch with people all over the world who are interested in trying this simple and cost
﹣effective method out for themselves from flower growing companies to amateur gardeners. Although at this point keeping thirsty plants alive isnt as easy as just pouring vinegar over them
, Kim said he and his team are working on making the process as simple as possible. "Now we are trying to cooperate with some farmers
, and also some companies, to make a method to apply this system, "he said. And for those of us who always forget to ask our neighbors to water our plants when we goaway

Life satisfaction can reflect experiences that have influenced a person in, a positive way. These experiences have the ability to motivate people to pursue and reach their goals. As a matter of fact, in these experiences there are two kinds of emotions that may positively influence how people understand their life. Hope and optimism both consist of emotional processes that are usually directed towards the reaching of goals. People who have higher life satisfaction are always full of hope for a better future; additionally, optimism is linked to higher life satisfaction, while pessimism is related to symptoms in depression.
The psychologist, Yuval Palgi, studied the old-old-people who were primarily in their nineties. This subject group was found to have thought highly of their past and present, but they thought lower of their future. A large factor that was talked about in life satisfaction was intelligence. The experiments talk of how life satisfaction grows as people become older because they become wiser and more knowledgeable, so they begin to see that life will be better as they grow older and understand the important things in life more. But when they step into their nineties, future becomes a luxury to them.
According to Seligman, the happier people are, the less they are focused on the negative. Happier people also have a greater tendency to like other people, which promotes a happier environment, which then correlates to a higher level of the persons satisfaction with their life.
12.What can we learn about life satisfaction from Paragraph 1?A.It can be easily measured through income and education.
B.It includes a positive attitude towards peoples entire life.C.It merely determines peoples attitude towards the future.
D.It has nothing to do with the evaluation of current feelings.13.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage ?
A.The wealthier a person is, the happier he will feel.B.Happy people are more likely to get along well with others.
C.Happy people won’t be influenced by the negative items in life.D.Intelligence plays a leading role in determining people’s happiness.
14.What was the attitude of most old-old towards their future?A.They were less hopeful about it.B.They thought highly of it.
C.They felt satisfied with it.D.They were scared of it.15.What may be the best title for the text?A.Old People Have Much More Life Satisfaction

,technology,engineering,and mathematics(STEM) careers is often attributed (归因于) to men being believed to be better at the sort of thinking those fields require. Though studies have
debunked the view,they have largely been based on results acquired from various several standardized tests. Now, researchers from Pennsylvania S Carnegie Mellon University have found evidence that is hard to overlook; MRI (
磁共振成像) proves that young girls and boys use the same mechanisms and networks in the brain to solve math problems.
The groundbreaking study to evaluate the biological gender differences in the math talent of young children was led by the university s professor of neuroscience, Jessica Cantlon. For their study ,the team selected 104 young children, between 3 and 10 years old, divided almost equally by gender. The scientists used a functional MRI to observe their brain activity as they engaged in math tasks. These included watching age appropriate educational videos and doing math exercises such as counting and addition,as well as reading for comparison.
“We looked at which areas of the brain respond more strongly to mathematics content in the videos and tasks, compared to non math content like reading or the alphabet, Cantlon said.“When we do that in lite girls, we see a particular network of the brain respond,and when we do that same analysis in boys, we see the exact same regions.”
So why do girls and young women tend to avoid math and STEM careers in general? Cantlon thinks it may be rooted in social and cultural conventions. Previous studies have indicated that parents tend to spend more time with young boys in play that inspire spatial cognition (
空间认知)-such as toys that involve learning number skills and shapes and solving puzzles. Educators were also observed to spend more time with boys during math class.
8.What does the underlined word“debunked” in paragraph 1 mean?A.Disproved.B.Supported.C.Confirmed.D.Overlooked.

STEM职业的原因8.词义猜测题第一段中的“The low percentage of women in science ,technology,engineering,and mathematics(STEM) careers is often attributed (。
归因于) to men being believed to be better at the sort of thinking those fields require.”女性在科学、技术、工程和数学职业上的低比例往往归因于男性被认为更擅长这些领域需要的思考方式。
“young girls and boys use the same mechanisms and networks in the brain to solve math problems.”年轻男孩和女孩大脑中使用相同的机制和网络来解决数学问题。
根据句意,并且though表示转折,可以推断出前后观点不一致,所以,研究结果驳斥了前面的观点由此可知“debunked”的意思是反驳,故选A项9.细节理解题根据第二段的内容“the team selected 104 young children, between 3 and 10 years old, divided almost equally by gender. The scientists used a functional MRI to observe their brain activity …”。
在他们的研究中,研究小组选择了104名年龄在3到10岁之间的儿童,他们的性别几乎相同科学家们使用功能性核磁共振成像来观察……可知,第二段讲述了研究对象,观察的方法,研究的内容等,所以第二段关注了研究的过程。
故选B项10.细节理解题根据最后一段的内容“it may be rooted in social and cultural conventions. Previous studies have indicated that parents tend to spend more time with young boys in play that inspire spatial cognition (。
空间认知)—such as toys that involve learning number skills and shapes and solving puzzles. Educators were also observed to spend more time with boys during math class.” Cantlon
认为这可能根植于社会和文化习俗之前的研究表明,父母倾向于花更多的时间和小男孩一起玩能激发他们空间认知能力的游戏,比如学习数字技能、形状和解决谜题的玩具研究还发现,教育工作者在数学课上花更多的时间和男孩在一起。
可知,传统的偏见导致了STEM职业中缺少女性故选C项11.主旨大意题文章第一段中的“young girls and boys use the same mechanisms and networks in the brain to solve math problems”。
(年轻男孩和女孩大脑中使用相同的机制和网络来解决数学问题)是全文的主题句,后文解释了研究的过程以及女孩和年轻女性一般都倾向于避开数学和STEM职业的原因可知,所以这篇文章最合适的题目是“男孩和女孩:在数学方面同样有天赋
”,故选C项【点睛】概括主旨的方法是:先看首尾或各段开头再看全文找主题句,若无明显主题句,就通过关键词句来概括(如议论文中寻找表达作者观点态度的词句,记叙文寻找概括情节和中心的动词或反映人物特点的形容词。
)文中出现两种或两种以上的不同观点时,务必牢记作者的观点才是体现全文中心的该文是介绍一个研究结果的,该类文章的中心一般就在第一段因此,考生直接抓住第一段中的“young girls and boys use the same mechanisms and networks in the brain to solve math problems”。
即可找到文章中心 Algorithms (算法) affect nearly every part of a persons experience on the Internet. Search engines are most people s entry to the Internet.If a person wants to find information about something, they usually start with a search bar.As soon as they start typing or choosing links,the algorithm starts gathering data about every choice users make and uses that data to try to find the websites or information that most directly relate to what the user is looking for.。
The problem with algorithm is that they can limit the kinds of information people see,says MacMillan,a reading researcher with Project Information Literacy (
能力). He argues this can be harmful to peoples critical thinking and lead them to believe that only one point of view is correct.
Companies also pay to post advertisements for products that could relate to users search data. For example,if you search for places to take a vacation,you will likely start to see ads for travel companies, flights or hotels.
Renee Hobbs, director of the Media Education Lab at the University of Rhode Island, however, argues that algorithms are not all bad. She says search engine algorithms can help you find what might be the most useful information faster. But she says it is in the interests of Internet companies to keep users on the Internet for as long as possible so they see more ads.
The current generation of young people grow up using the Internet and they are prone(易于遭受) to distrustful information.That is why schools must train students how to use the Internet more wisely in their Studies.It is the duty of education to keep students informed about the world around them. Yet it is not the duty of education alone. And lawmakers should consider increasing data protection rules. Individuals can also use a wide variety of websites to avoid algorithmic controls.

(一旦用户统计输入或选择链接,算法就开始收集用户做出的每一个选择的数据,并使用这些数据试图找到与用户在寻找的内容最直接相关的网站或信息)”由此可知,算法是收集与用户寻找的内容相关的网站或信息,因此算法决定用户接收到的内容,从而影响用户的上网体验。
故选D 项13.推理判断题根据第四段中Hobbs所说的话“Renee Hobbs, director of the Media Education Lab at the University of Rhode Island, however, argues that algorithms are not all bad.She says search engine algorithms can help you find what might be the most useful information faster.

,然而,罗德岛大学(University of Rhode Island)媒体教育实验室主任蕾妮•霍布斯(Renee Hobbs)认为,算法也并非一无是处.Hobbs认为搜索引擎算法可以帮助你更快地找到最有用的信息。
但同时她也认为说,让用户看到更多的广告,这符合互联网公司的利益因此可以推断,Hobbs对搜索引擎算法是持客观的态度故选C项14.推理判断题根据最后一段中“It is the duty of education to keep students informed about the world around them.

Many years ago, as a young engineer in the army, Vallieres was struck in the head in a task in Gulf War, which ended his military career and left him fighting for his life. He was 28 years old and battled stress, survivor’s guilt and PTSD (
创伤后应激障碍). “When you’re disabled and you really can’t move too much, you’re wondering if death is nearby.” he said.
Despite his condition, Vallieres still had to be a father to his little boy-a curious child who helped jump start his love for birds.
One day, his three-year-old son noticed a bird and asked his father what kind it was. Vallieres bought a bird identification book and started learning along with his son. He bought some small telescopes and the two began observing birds together near their home in New Hampshire.
Then came another turning point. Vallieres saw an ad in the newspaper for a birding trip in New Hampshire’s White Mountains and signed up.
Now it’s his joy and renewed purpose to track and save the peregrine falcon and the bald eagle-two species nearly wiped out by the chemicals used for killing pests. It’s hard physical work for anyone, which needs patience, keen observation skills and time. But Vallieres is a natural at it, because his military training made him a perfect match, especially in reading maps and navigating.
Vallieres says not only does his volunteering help with physical fitness, but also his mental state. “To find rhythm or purpose in life besides myself,” says Vallieres, “I shouldn’t get stuck on myself but have a way out.”
4.What led to Vallieres leaving the army?A.Life failure.B.Severe injury.C.His son.D.Love for birds.5.

But how have our favorites changed over the decades, and what do these changes say about America’s shifting emotional landscape (。
景象)?Researcher E. Glenn Schellenberg set out to examine songs popular in America during the last five decades, using a selection from Billboard Magazine’s Hot 100 charts, hoping to learn how emotional cues (
提示) in music, such as tempo (slow to fast) and mode (major or minor key), have changed since 1960.The most striking finding is the change in key. Songs written in a major key tend to sound warm and high-spirited, while songs in a minor key can sound darker and more melancholic (
忧郁的). Over the last few decades, popular songs have switched from major to minor keys. Broadly speaking, the sound has shifted from bright and happy to something more complex. The study also finds America’s popular songs have become slower and longer. Even more interesting, is that our current favorites are more likely to be emotionally ambiguous, such as sad-sounding songs being fast or happy-sounding songs being slow.
A possible explanation for the changes is that the more contemporary music reflects the hardships that our society has gone through. However, Schellenberg believes that the steady increase in length and decrease in tempo doesn’t support the idea of growing difficulties fully because it would mean our problems have increased steadily over the last fifty years. He suggests that popular songs have become more complex over time because Americans are becoming more diverse and individualized in their musical tastes.
Though we can only guess about the specific causes of this evolution in music, Schellenberg’s initial observations have helped to open the door to research on the link between emotion and music consumption. Perhaps someday we’ll learn more of the secrets behind the music we love and the times we live in.
8.Why did Schellenberg start the study?A.To change music styles.B.To explore changes in music.C.To select America’s favorite music.
D.To examine the creation of music.9.What can we learn from the findings?A.Older songs were often more sad-sounding.
B.Popular songs have become warmer and shorter.C.Recent hits are likely to be longer and more complex.
D.Current favorites tend to be composed in a major key.10.What is the fourth paragraph mainly about?A

1960年以来音乐中的情感线索是如何变化的,如节奏(从慢到快)和模式(主调或小调))可知Schellenberg研究的目的就是探寻音乐的情感会发生什么变化所以Schellenberg开始这个实验的目的就是为了探索音乐的转变。
故此题选B9.推理判断题根据第三自然段Broadly speaking, the sound has shifted from bright and happy to something more complex. The study also finds America’s popular songs have become slower and longer.(。
从广义上讲,声音已经从明亮和快乐转变为更复杂的声音研究还发现,美国流行歌曲变得越来越慢、越来越长)可知,当下的流行音乐很复杂同时,美国的流行乐要慢一些长一些因此我们可以推断出当下美国的热门金曲的风格有些复杂,还有点慢和长。
故此题选C10.主旨大意题根据第四自然段第一句话A possible explanation for the changes is that the more contemporary music reflects the hardships that our society has gone through. (。
对这些变化的一个可能的解释是,更现代的音乐反映了我们社会所经历的苦难)可知,这里主要是在讲音乐变化的原因,后文Schellenberg的研究结果也只是对音乐变化的另一种原因所以我们可以推断出这段话的主要内容就是讲音乐转变的原因。
故此题选C11.推理判断题根据最后一自然段Though we can only guess about the specific causes of this evolution in music, Schellenberg’s initial observations have helped to open the door to research on the link between emotion and music consumption. Perhaps someday we’ll learn more of the secrets behind the music we love and the times we live in. (。
虽然我们只能猜测这种音乐演变的具体原因,但舍伦伯格的初步观察为研究情绪与音乐消费之间的联系打开了大门也许有一天我们会学到更多关于我们热爱的音乐和我们生活的时代背后的秘密)可知,作者相信在未来们生活的时代背后的秘密。
可以推断出作者对于研究是积极的态度故此题选A Cars produced today are essentially smartphones with wheels. For drivers, this has meant many new features: automatic braking (。
刹车), turn-by-turn directions, infotainment systems. But carmakers are getting much, much more; They’re constantly collecting data from our vehicles, like how much we weigh, how fast we drive, how many children we have-even financial information.
Debates around privacy often focus on companies like Facebook. But today’s connected cars-and tomorrow’s autonomous vehicles show how the commercial opportunities in collecting personal data are limitless. Your location data will allow companies to advertise to you based on where you live, work or frequently travel. Data gathered from voice-command technology could also be useful to advertisers. Data on your driving habits could be valuable to insurance companies. You may or may not choose to share your data with these services. But while you can turn off location data on your cellphone, there’s no such feature for your car.
Because of the increasing complexity of cars and the Internet of Things, data is critical to repair and service. When carmakers control the data, they can choose which service centers receive our information. They’re more likely to share our data only with their branded dealerships than with independent repair shops, which could
have the edge in price and convenience.It’s clear, because of its value-as high as $ 750 billion by 2030-carmakers are unlikely to release control of the data collected from our vehicles. Policymakers, however, have the opportunity to give drivers control-not just so that they can keep their data private but also so that they can share it with the people they want to see it. This will let car owners maintain what they’ve had for a century: the right to decide who fixes their car.
12.What can we learn about the vehicle data?A.It is available and free to all.B.It tends to put drivers at risk.
C.It brings drivers limitless profits.D.It offers whatever the carmakers want.13.What does the underlined phrase “have the edge” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A.Be weaker.B.Be worse.C.Be better.D.Be safer.14.What can we infer from the last paragraph?A.Car owners already have direct access to their vehicle data.
B.Drivers trade personal information for convenience.C.Carmakers will share the vehicle data with drivers soon.
D.Laws are expected to bring the data back to drivers.15.In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?
A.Entertainment.B.Health.C.Education.D.Science.【答案】12.B13.C14.D15.D【解析】本文为一篇说明文文章介绍了新型智能汽车的数据安全性问题,希望通过借助法律措施来保障司机以及汽车的数据安全。
12.推理判断题根据第一段They’re constantly collecting data from our vehicles, like how much we weigh, how fast we drive, how many children we have-even financial information. 。
他们不断地从我们的汽车上收集数据,比如我们的体重,我们的驾驶速度,我们有多少孩子,甚至还有财务信息由此判断出,车辆数据中包含了许多司机的信息,这会使司机处于危险之中故选B项13.词句猜测题根据前文They’re more likely to share our data only with their branded dealerships than with independent repair shops
他们更可能只与品牌经销商共享我们的数据,而不是与独立的维修店共享数据,结合后文in price and convenience,推测独立的维修店的价格和便利性方面更有优势have the edge“ 有优势
”与be better意思相近故选C项14.推理判断题根据最后一段Policymakers, however, have the opportunity to give drivers control-not just so that they can keep their data private but also so that they can share it with the people they want to see it. 。
然而,政策制定者有机会给予司机控制权,这不仅是为了让他们可以将数据保密,还可以让他们与他们希望看到的人共享数据由此判断出,法律有望将数据交回驾驶员手中故选D项15.推理判断题结合全文,文章介绍了新型智能汽车的数据安全性,希望通过借助法律措施来保障司机以及汽车的数据安全。

th this year. The school is attended by about 200 children of seven villages. “I had spent nearly three years teaching children in this school and spending time with the villagers. They always considered me as a member of their own family. That is why when I told them that I have been sent to another school, they could not believe it,” said Dangwal.
On learning his leaving, the villagers told him that they would like to organize a “Goodbye” party for him, on which he agreed but placed a condition that “It should be a small one.” However, on the final day I was surprised to see a large number of villagers gathered near the school with drums. As soon as I stepped out of the school, children and women started crying by hugging me while asking me not to go. The love brought tears to my eyes as well,” Dangwal said.
Remembering his early days in the school, Dangwal said it was not easy for him to adjust but gradually he managed it. “In the six months, I faced some problems as the culture and language of the villagers in the area was different from mine. I learnt it, which helped me to get along with the children and villagers,” Dangwal recalled.
“He was not just a teacher of our children but one of us. He always stood with every villager in the hour of need. His leaving the school is a big loss for us,” one of the villagers, Mamta Rawat, said while praising Dangwal.
He was one of the few teachers who decided to live in the village where the school was located while most of the teachers would live at more comfortable places away from the village.

可知临走时,村民告诉他,他们想为他组织一个“告别”晚会,他同意了,但提出了一个条件,“应该是一个小的晚会”由此可知,Dangwal要求“告别”晚会规模要小,即参与的人要少故选B5.细节理解题根据第三段中。
“In the six months, I faced some problems as the culture and language of the villagers in the area was different from mine. I learnt it, which helped me to get along with the children and villagers,” Dangwal recalled.

Dangwal就住在学校所在地的村子,他不介意那里不舒服的生活条件,而且时刻与孩子们和村民在一起由此可知,文章的主旨是Dangwal作为乡村教师的工作经历故选B A new exhibition in Beijing examines the experience of China’s millions of empty-nesters, and the sense of loss they feel when their children unavoidably leave home. Held by the Tomorrow Foundation and initialed by actor Huang Xiaoming at the Dachin Contemporary Art Center, the exhibition opened in Beijing on November 9th, and will run until December 9th. 。
According to Gao Xiaoqi, director of the Dachin Contemporary Art Center, “Empty-nesters are a common social phenomenon. But many young people haven’t realized their parents are actually empty-nesters.” She adds, “We don’t want to place a burden on the viewers when they visit the exhibition, but we do aim to make them feel how their parents felt when their children left home.”
The exhibition is more of an immersive (浸没式) experience rather than simply a gallery to view exhibits. In another area, visitors can put on earphones and listen to some impressive passages describing the parent-child relationship performed by ten stars.
Many visitors were touched by the line: only noticed I stayed at home for 15 days every year, but I didn’t realize from my parents’ eyes that I had been away from home for 20 years,” actress Kong Wei recites.
It was really touching, and it made me realize that I am really important to my parents. All I wanted to do after listening to it was to go back home and spend more time with them,” says Sina Weibo user Zhuizhumengli, a visitor to the exhibition.
“The phenomenon of empty-nesters is quite a challenge since old people’s needs are not necessarily money or other material reliefs. Although many old people have friends and hobbies, they still need their children’s love and attention,” says Huang.
8.Why is the exhibition held?A.To place a burden on the viewers.B.To remind the audience to value time.
C.To raise people’s awareness of caring for their parents.D.To show the importance of relationships between family members.

可知她补充说:“我们不想让参观者在参观展览时,感到负担,但我们的目的是让他们感受到孩子离开家时,父母的感受”由此可推知,这个展览的目的是向大家展示作为空巢老人的父母的经历和感受,提高人们关心父母的意识故选。
C9.主旨大意题根据第三段The exhibition is more of an immersive experience rather than simply a gallery to view exhibits. In another areas ,visitors can put on earphones and listen to some impressive passages describing the parent-child relationship performed by ten stars.(。
展览不仅仅是参观展品的画廊,更多的是一种身临其境的体验在另一个地方,游客们可以戴上耳机,听一些由十位明星所演绎的令人印象深刻的亲子关系片段),由此可知,此段叙述的是如何展出的,通过什么方式进行的故选D10

由此可知,B选项“在鸟儿飞走之后”最符合文章标题故选B NASA has big plans for returning astronauts to the moon in 2024, a stepping stone on the path to sending humans to Mars. But where should the first people on the Red Planet land? While there are lots of places on Mars scientists would like to visit, few would make practical landing sites for astronauts. Thanks to the researchers, their newly-published paper in Geophysical Research Letters will help by providing a map of water ice believed to be as little as an inch (2. 5 centimeters) below the surface. 。
Water ice will be a key consideration for any potential landing site. With little room to spare aboard a spacecraft, any human missions to Mars will have to harvest what’s already available for drinking water. Liquid water can’t last in the thin air of Mars. With so little air pressure, it turns from a solid to a gas when exposed to the atmosphere. On this planet, water ice is locked away underground. Buried water ice changes the temperature of the Martian surface, so the study’s authors relied on heat-sensitive instruments to find ice that astronauts could easily dig up. The authors of the new paper make use of data from spacecrafts to locate water ice that could potentially be within reach of astronauts on the Red Planet.
The paper’s lead author, Sylvain Piqueux of NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California said, ‘‘We’re continuing to collect data on buried ice on Mars, aiming to find the best places for astronauts to land.” Piqueux is planning a comprehensive campaign to continue studying buried ice across different seasons, watching how the abundance of this resource changes over time.
12.What’s the benefit of the study?A.To produce a map of the surface of Mars.B.To help decide where to land on Mars.
C.To speed up the harvest of ice deep inside Mats.D.To arouse attention to seasonal changes on Mars.13
.Why is water ice important for any landing site?A.Because it is the source of power.B.Because water only exists in the form of solid on Mars.
C.Because it can serve as drinking water.D.Because astronauts are too busy to collect pure water.14.How can heat-sensitive instruments tell the location of buried ice?
A.By measuring the surface temperature of Mars.B.By digging up the surface of Mars.C.By collecting the data of rocket fuel.
D.By calculating the amount of liquid in the air.15.In which section of a website may this text appear?
A.Education.B.Travel.C.Sport.D.Technology.【答案】12.B13.C14.A15.D【解析】本文是说明文科学家们想探索火星,但是第一批踏上火星的人应该选择那里为登陆点呢?关于这个问题,研究人员发表了一篇论文,提供了火星上水冰的地图。
水冰将是可能的登陆点的关键考虑因素12.细节理解题文章第一段提到关于人类第一批踏上火星的人应该在哪里登陆的问题;根据第一段中“Thanks to the researchers, their newly-published paper …will help by providing a map of water ice believed to be as little as an inch (2. 5 centimeters) below the surface.”。
和第二段中“Water ice will be a key consideration for any potential landing site.”可知,研究人员新发表的论文对寻找登陆点会有帮助,因为论文里提供一张水冰地图,水冰据信只在火星表面以下一英寸的地方。
水冰将是可能的登陆点的关键考虑因素由此可知,这项研究的好处是来帮助决定在火星的何处着陆故选B项13.细节理解题根据第二段中“Water ice will be a key consideration for any potential landing site. With little room to spare aboard a spacecraft, any human missions to Mars will have to harvest what’s already available for drinking water. Liquid water can’t last in the thin air of Mars.”。
可知,水冰对于登陆点非常重要是因为液态水在火星稀薄的空气中不能持久由于宇宙飞船上几乎没有多余的空间,前往火星的人类将不得不采集现有的饮用水被锁在火星表面下的水冰可以挖掘出来,当作饮用水故选C项14.推理判断题。
根据第二段中“On this planet, water ice is locked away underground. Buried water ice changes the temperature of the Martian surface, so the study’s authors relied on heat-sensitive instruments to find ice that astronauts could easily dig up. ”
(在这个星球上,水冰被锁在地下地下的水冰会改变火星表面的温度,所以这项研究的作者依靠热敏性仪器来寻找水冰,这样宇航员可以轻松将水冰挖掘出来)可以推断,地下如果有水冰,表面温度就会低热敏性仪器是根据探测火星表面的温度来判断水冰的位置。
故选A项15.推理判断题通读全文,文章介绍了在《地球物理研究快报》上新发表的一篇论文的内容论文作者利用来自宇宙飞船的数据来定位火星上的水冰的位置水冰将是可能的登陆点的关键考虑因素文章是关于火星登陆点有关的内容,应该是与科技有关的。

During the week they work in shops, offices, clinics and schools, but at weekends they transform into Vikings, Romans and Medieval peasants. The world of re-enactment (
重演) is booming with more and more men and women taking up the hobby of travelling to bygone times. Factory manager of a busy printers, Brett Freeman, 46, from Nottingham, changes into “Padmore,” a Victorian street-seller selling stationery (
文具). Already a veteran (老兵) of military re-enactments, Brett joined the “Ragged Victorians” when middle-age kicked in. “I was too old to portray a soldier but I wanted to get back into the hobby and the Ragged Victorians looked the best in terms of being genuine.”
At his first event, group members gave him “loaner gear” and a year to research his character. His teeth blackened with theatrical stain, in top hat and floppy coat, Brett looks every bit his Victorian image.
Seeking inspiration, Brett dipped into the works of Victorian journalist, Henry Mayhew, who wrote about the working people of London.
“My character is inspired by the description of a stationer in Mayhew’s London Labour and London Poor. I mixed that up with my own background in print, and local historical sources to create street stationer, Padmore, which is the name of my Victorian great-great grandfather.”
“Getting into kit (装备) helps immensely and once you are in the public area you try to remain in character wherever possible.” For extra authenticity, Brett combines his language with Victorian selling patter (
顺口溜), replacing the word “envelope” with “hangflups.”“Re-enacting is great fun, but we’re always glad of a hot shower and a comfortable bed at the end of the weekend,” says Brett. “Normal life can seem very dull after a particularly good weekend. It would be wonderful to go back in time for a visit, but studying the period as I have done, makes you realise just how hard life was for our ancestors.”
4.Why does Brett choose to be a Victorian street-seller?A.He has already played a veteran.B.Portraying a soldier no longer fit him.
C.He is a manager of a busy printers.D.His blackened teeth make it real.5.What does the underlined phrase “loaner gear” in paragraph 4 mean?

我太老了,不适合扮演一个士兵”由此可知,Brett之所以选择成为维多利亚时代的街头小贩,是因为扮演士兵不再适合他了故选B5.词义猜测题根据第四段中His teeth blackened with theatrical stain, in top hat and floppy coat, Brett looks every bit his Victorian image. “。
他的牙齿被夸张的污迹染黑了,戴着礼帽,穿着宽松的外套,Brett看起来完全是维多利亚时代的形象”可知,“在他的第一次活动中,团队成员给了他“租借装备”和一年的时间来研究他的性格”由此推知划线词的意思是“

“研究报告”、“旅游指南”和“一则广告”,它最有可能来自“一份杂志”故选BHey, man,Good to hear from you again. Your e-mail came in just as I was chatting with another friend, Jeff. I wish I had better advice.。
You know, after I left the Shenandoah Valley, my next job was in Rocky Mount. The two other sportswriters on staff, Travis and Jeff, were in their mid-20s too. Honestly, we’d come to Rocky Mount to leave Rocky Mount. We complained about our shop and envied the Charlotte Observer and the Raleigh News & Observer. What resources they had! Writers who covered only one team didn’t have to lay out pages. Talk about living the dream. If we could just get to one of those places! Then we could go somewhere else!
Travis, Jeff, and I bonded over our desire to part ways. We ate dinner together and went out to cover our games and came back to help send the final pages to the printer. On the best nights, we’d grab the news editors and play Wiffle ball, laughing and joking until almost sunrise.
We all left there within a year, as intended. Jeff became one of the most well-known NASCAR writers in the country, with almost 200,000 Twitter followers. Now he’s got his own media company that’s doing quite well. In 2017, Jeff and I went to a Charlotte Knights game, and Jeff said something about Rocky Mount that I won’t forget. “I didn’t appreciate it then, but honestly, when I look back, it’s probably the best time I’ve ever had in my career.”
Maybe success isn’t measured in achievements, or “being happy with who you are”. Goals and personal peace are selfish markers, and I don’t mean to imply selfishness is a bad thing, not at all. Selfishness is the axis of humankind, from cavemen to astronauts to saints on earth. Individual accomplishments bring worldwide accomplishments. But all of the accomplishments may not leave you feeling successful, right?
The point is, maybe success is a smaller calculation, something more like what Jeff hinted at. Maybe success is having the wherewithal (
所需的物资) to be grateful at the precise moment you have something to be grateful for. Thank you for writing, old friend.

You know, after I left the Shenandoah Valley, my next job was in Rocky Mount.(你知道当我离开Shenandoah Valley
之后,我的下一份工作是在Rocky Mount)可知,Mike前往Rocky Mount的目的是因为在这里找了一份比以前更好的工作所以C项he intended to land a better job elsewhere. (。
他打算在别处找一份更好的工作)满足题意故此题选C9.推理判断题根据第二自然段The two other sportswriters on staff, Travis and Jeff, were in their mid-20s too(。
另外的两名体育记者,特拉维斯和杰夫,也在20多岁)和第三自然段We ate dinner together and went out to cover our games and came back to help send the final pages to the printer.(
我们一起吃晚饭,出去报道我们的比赛,回来帮忙把最后几页报道送到印刷厂)我们可以推断出Mike也是一位体育记者故此题选B10.推理判断题根据倒数第三段的第二句和第三句Goals and personal peace are selfish markers, and I don’t mean to imply selfishness is a bad thing, not at all. Selfishness is the axis of humankind, from cavemen to astronauts to saints on earth.(。
目标和个人平和是自私的标志,我并不想暗示自私是件坏事,一点也不自私是人类的轴心,从穴居人到宇航员再到地球上的圣人都如此)通过这句话我们可以推断出,Mike认为自私并不可怕,因为人人都有,是人类的一种本性。
故A项Mike believes selfishness is part of human nature.(Mike认为自私是人性的一部分)满足推断故此题选A11.推理判断题通过文章倒数第二自然段The point is, maybe success is a smaller calculation, something more like what Jeff hinted at. Maybe success is having the wherewithal (
所需的物资) to be grateful at the precise moment you have something to be grateful for.(关键是,也许成功只是一个较小的计算,更像
Jeff所暗示的那样也许成功就是在你有值得感激的事情的那一刻,可以去感激)可知,Mike想要告诉我们成功是什么故此题选B We all experience “oh crap” moments. Running into the person you canceled a date with — while you’re on another date. Realizing you hit “reply all”on an e-mail that you’d do anything to have back. Whatever the situation, the first thing you probably do is 。
freak out. Everybody does. While many of us think that we’re cool in a crisis, science tells us that we seldom are. At the moment we need to be keenly aware of our surroundings, our attention can tunnel in on the scariest thing in the scene, leaving us unaware of the other sights, sounds, and even smells around us. Armed robbers go unidentified because witnesses remember little more than the guns. Our ability to remember the things we do notice also becomes compromised; we can be told something, and two seconds later we’ll forget. And we jump to conclusions. When we’re freaked out, we’re anything but at our best.
These normal human reactions can be reversed. Once you calm down, you’ll face the most routinely ignored challenge of any crisis situation — identifying what the crisis is really about. We tend to misdiagnose problems because we don’t practice for them. Do the thinking ahead of time so you can just find the solution when it’s showtime. This is why flight attendants suggest you find the closest exit before you depart — so you don’t have to go exit shopping after the plane has caught fire or is sinking into a river.
Performing in a crisis is becoming more important for all of us, for two reasons. Back in the good old days, the reliability of most anything we used or did was far less than it is today. Now think about what happens to our preparedness as the possibility of something bad happening shrinks. Unless we practice what hardly ever happens, our ability to respond when it does happen tends to slip away. Reliability can kill you. Also, the systems we use today are more complex. There are seldom moving parts in plain view that allow us to see when things are about to go wrong. When complex systems lack transparency (
透明度,显而易见), serious situations can “come out of nowhere.” We should all learn to breathe, recognize the situation, and carry out the plan that we were smart enough to prepare well in advance.
12.What does the underlined phrase “freak out” mean?A.Be at one’s best.B.Calm down gradually.C.Run away immediately.
D.Panic or be scared.13.Why do armed robbers go unidentified?A.Because the witnesses jump to conclusions.
B.Because the witnesses focus on their scariest thing.C.Because the witnesses forget what they have been told.
D.Because the witnesses are keenly aware of the surroundings.14.Why is it more important for us to perform in a crisis today?
A.Because of less reliability and less complexity.B.Because of more reliability and more complexity.C
.Because of worse transparency and less preparedness.D.Because of better transparency and more preparedness.
15.What would the passage suggest doing in case a fire breaks out?A.Taking a deep breath and dialing 119.
B.Staying cool and ignoring the challenge.C.Calming down and remembering the situation.D.Performing escaping and rescuing beforehand.

. Its true that stress isnt good for you, but its not going to turn you into a silver fox just yet. In fact, the answer comes from the cells in your hair. These are what decide the color and, eventually, the fade to grey.
Most of us start to notice our first grey hairs by the time we hit our thirties. A general rule to go by is that by the age of 50,half of the population will have lost the color in 50 percent of their hair.
But why does it happen? Firstly, we need to understand how hair gets its color.Your hair is made up of cells called melanocytes(
黑色素细胞) which produce pigments(色素) as they grow into the hair fiber. There are two different types of melanins: eumelanins and pheomelanins. The former produces black and brown pigments, while the latter produces red and yellow pigments. The exact amount of these pigments decides whether a person has black, brown, blonde or red hair.
As we age, the ability of the melanocytes to produce more pigments weakens. Thats because our hair grows in different periods.
The growing period lasts between three and five years, after which our follicles(毛囊) turn off for about three months to rest and get ready to grow more hairs. This goes round and round and, after a time, our bodies arent as good at producing new hairs.
Scientists are continuing to try and find ways to prevent greying hair. A team of scientists in France is working to try and stop the melanocytes from being damaged at the end of each hair cycle. They are trying to use a special enzyme(
酶) to protect the cells from damage. If successful, it could lead the way for new products that keep our hair full of color for years to come.
12.The phrase “an old wives tale” in Paragraph 1 probably mean________?A.a wrong beliefB.useful talkC
.a scientific ruleD.helpful experience13.What do we know about red hair?A.It doesnt turn grey as people get older.
B.It contains more pheomelanin’s than eumelanin’s.C.The amount of pigments in it doesnt change over time.
D.People with red hair have weaker ability to produce pigments.14.What do the French scientists aim to do?
A.To repair damaged hair follicles.B.To protect hair cells against damage.C.To shorten the hair cycle to protect the hair.
D.To study the relationship between health and hair color.15.What can we infer from the article?A.Grey hair has nothing to do with stress.
B.Grey hair is a symbol of declining health.C.It takes three months for new hair to grow.D.The growth and color change of hair depend on cells.

通道) for shoppers in a hurry, aiming to help impatient shoppers avoid slow walkers and the anger that goes with them.
The Lakeside Shopping Center in Essex has introduced a 720-foot “fast lane” reserved for fast walkers only, just in time for the Christmas rush. The Center’s management team said, “The lane will help the shoppers who know where they want to go quickly and don’t want to get caught in behind unhurried shoppers at the busiest time of the year.”
The fast lane was introduced after a MasterCard survey found that 80 percent of consumers found slow walkers their biggest annoyance while shopping. The research also found that the average walking speed slowed down by 21 percent during the Christmas shopping period, as most shoppers spent more time window shopping during this period.
Gary Mortimer, an expert from the Queensland University of Technology, said he wasn’t surprised by the promotion about the launch of the fast lane, and thought the concept would appeal to shoppers all over the world. “Crowded parking lots and busy shopping centers tend to be two of the biggest complaints of shoppers over the festive season,” he said. “I think the fast lanes are a new approach. However, I suspect it will be a bit like fast lanes on the highway, so it might end up being more trouble than its worth.
The MasterCard survey also identified the four most common types of shoppers. They include“Skaters” who try and make their way through crowds politely, “Dodgers” who move down the paths to avoid slow walkers, “Bulldozers" who push their way through crowds, and “Tutters” who express their frustrations to slow walkers.

英国最大的购物中心之一,已经为匆忙中的购物者引入了自己的快车道,旨在帮助不耐烦的购物者避免慢步者-以及随之而来的愤怒)是本文的主旨句,因此推断本文主要讲述购物中心创造快速车道避免“慢行者”,故选D Pinocchio may be just a childrens fairy tale, but Spanish scientists at the University of Granada recently investigated the so-called Pinocchio effect and found that our noses dont grow when we tell a lie, but actually shrink a bit.。
Dr. Emilio Gómez Milán and his team developed a lie detector test that used thermography to tell if people were lying, and found that whenever participants in their research were being untruthful, the temperature of the tips of their noses dropped up to 1.2
℃, while the temperature of their forehead increased up to 1.5℃. Scientists also found that drop in temperature at nose level actually caused it to slightly shrink, although the difference is undetected by the human eye.
One has to think in order to lie, which rises the temperature of the forehead, Dr. Gomez Milan explained the findings. At the same time we feel anxious, which lowers the temperature of the nose.
For this study, researchers asked a number of 60 students to perform various tasks while being scanned by thermal imaging technology. One of these tasks involved calling a 3 to 4 minutes call to their parents, partner or a friend and telling a significant lie. Participants had to devise the lie by themselves during the call, and the thermal cameras picked up this reverse Pinocchio effect caused by the fluctuation (
起伏) in temperature in the nose and forehead.Interestingly, the thermal lie doctor picked up the temperature difference in 80 percent of test subjects, which is a better rate of success than that of any modern lie doctor.
With this method we have achieved to increase accuracy and reduce the occurrence of false positives, something that is frequently with other methods such as the polygraph (
测谎仪) , said Dr. Emilio Gómez Milán, who added that law enforcement interviewers could one day combine other lie detection technology with thermal imaging to achieve better results.
The thermal lie doctor has been the most reliable in the world, 10% more than the popular polygraph.8

撒谎会让你的鼻子变长吗?)可以作为本文标题故选B项 Anecdotal evidence has long held that creativity in artists and writers can be associated with living in foreign parts. Rudyard Kipling, Pablo Picasso, Ernest Hemingway, Paul Gauguin, Samuel Beckett and others spent years living abroad. Now a pair of psychologist has proven that there is indeed a link.。
As they report in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, William Maddux of INSEAD, a business school in Fontainebleau, France, and Adam Galinsky, of the Kellogg School of Management in Chicago, presented 155 American business students and 55 foreign ones studying in America with a test used by psychologists as a measure of creativity Given a candle, some matches and a box of drawing pins, the students were asked to attach the candle to a cardboard wall so that no wax would drip on the floor when the candle was lit. (The solution is to use the box as a candleholder and fix it to the wall with the pin.) They found 60% of the students who were either living abroad or had spent some time doing so, solved the problem, whereas only 42% of those who had not lived abroad did so.
A follow-up study with 72 Americans and 36 foreigners explored their creative negotiating skills. Pairs of students were asked to play the role of seller of a petrol station who then needed to get a job and a buyer who would need to hire staff to run the business. The two were likely to reach a deadlock because the buyer had been told he could not afford what the seller was told was his minimum price. Nevertheless, when both negotiators had lived abroad 70 % struck a deal in which the seller was offered a management job at the petrol station in return for a lower asking price. When neither of the negotiators had lived abroad, none was able to reach a deal.
Merely travelling abroad, however, was not enough. You do have to live there. Packing your beach towel and suntan lotion will not, by itself make you Hemingway.
12.What is the purpose of mentioning the famous names in the opening paragraph?A.To show the relationship between creativity and living abroad.
B.To indicate the link between artistic creation and life experience.C.To emphasize how great these artists are.
D.To impress the importance of creativity.13.What can be inferred from the text?A.William Maddux and Adam Galinsky have carefully designed the test.
B.Negotiators who had lived abroad are more flexible in negotiating.C.American business students are less creative than those oversea students.
D.Ones creativity is associated with the length one has spent abroad.14.What does the author mean in the last sentence of paragraph 4?
A.There exist sharp differences between travelling and living abroad.B.You shouldnt lie on the beach when travelling.
C.Only real experience of living abroad can help drive creativity.D.Living abroad is more meaningful than just travelling abroad.
15.Where is the text most likely from?A.A diary.B.A magazine.C.A novel.D.A guidebook.【答案】12.A13.B14.C15
.B【解析】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了研究发现国外生活可以提升创造力12.推理判断题根据第一段中的“Anecdotal evidence has long held that creativity in artists and writers can be associated with living in foreign parts.”。
可知,长期以来,坊间证据表明,艺术家和作家的创造力可能与生活在外国有关,接下来提到那些著名的人物就是为了证明这一点,即:展示创造力和海外生活之间的关系,故A项正确13.推理判断题根据倒数第二段中的“when both negotiators had lived abroad 70 % struck a deal in which the seller was offered a management job at the petrol station in return for a lower asking price.”
可知,当谈判的双方都在国外居住时,70%的人达成了协议,由此可知,在国外生活过的谈判者在谈判中更灵活,故B项正确14.推理判断题根据第四段中的“Merely travelling abroad, however, was not enough. You do have to live there.”。
可知,然而,仅仅出国旅游是不够的(不能提升创造力),你必须住在那里,由此可知作者说这句话的意思是只有在国外居住才能提升创造力,故C项正确15.推理判断题通读全文可知,心理学家通过研究发现国外生活可以提升创造力,这属于科学研究范畴,最有可能出现在杂志的科学研究版块,故。
B项正确。
