高考外刊语法填空2第一篇It is one of the defining attributes of being human: when 1 (compare) with our closest primate relatives, we have incredibly large brains.Now scientists 2(shed)light on the reasons for the difference by collecting cells from humans, chimps and gorillas and turning them into lumps of brain in the laboratory.Tests on the tiny” brain organoids reveal a hitherto unknown molecular switch that 3(control) brain growth and makes the human organ three times larger than brains in the great apes.Tinker 4the switch and human brain loses its growth advantage, while great ape brain can be made to grow more like that in the human.“5we see is a difference in cellular behavior very, very early on that 6 (allow) the human brain to grow larger,” said Dr Madeleine Lancaster of the Medical Research Councils Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge.” We are able to account for almost all of the size difference.”The healthy human brain typically reaches about 1,500cc in adulthood, roughly three times the size of the gorilla brain, at 500cc, 7the chimp brain at 400cc.But working out why has been difficult, not least because 8____(develop) human and great ape brains cannot easily be studied.Lancaster and her colleagues collected cells, often left over from medical tests or operations, 9humans, gorillas and chimps, and reprogrammed them into stem cells. They then grew these cells, in a study published in Cell, encouraging them to turn into brain organoids--little lumps of brain tissue a few millimetres wide.Weeks later, the human brain organoids were by far the largest, and close examination revealed 10. In human brain tissue, so-called neural progenitor cells--which go on to make all of the cells in the brain--divided more than those in great ape brain tissue.Mathematical modelling showed the difference happens so early on in brain development that it leads to a near doubling in the number of neurons in the adult human cerebral cortex compared with in great apes.Key pared2.have shed(shed light on固定搭配,意为:阐明,使…清楚地显出)3.controls4.with 固定搭配5.What 主语从句6.allows7.and8.developing9.from10.whyWord bank: attribute v把…归因于n.属性;标志Organoid n.细胞团,类器官early on在早期;从事,经营第二篇Something exotic happened to me the other day.

I 1(teach) my first in-person class in nearly a year.I am in an unfamiliar classroom, 2the university moved our small seminar to a large sterile room to allow for social distancing. Instead of being around one big table with coffee cups and granola bar wrappers crinkling, we sit at desks 3(space) at an unnatural distance. Some of the details of our Covid-era ambience might be objectively off-putting: the masks, a giant tub of unusually rubbery and unpleasant hand sanitizer, a huge screen projecting one student 4Zoom from a pink room.Yet I feel a little like I have walked into the greatest party of my life. I feel in an instant what is lost over Zoom: the sense of being together in the same space, working 5out.How do you pin down the indescribable energy in the room? We are talking about Virginia Woolf. A quiet student talks. The jumping in is natural. Conversation stirs. You 6feel people thinking.Something mysterious happens. It is physical. It is an energy you can fake or aspire to but never actually have in a Zoom class. You can cover your material. You can make an interesting point. But the feeling of a live class can never 7(reproduce), and the effort of trying or hoping for it exhausts you, depresses you and diminishes you in tiny but cumulative ways.8 a Zoom class I always thought, “Now that wasn’t so terrible.” I was too relieved at the okayness, the perfectly adequate effort at continuity, to fully allow myself to investigate or inhabit the lack. The feeling 9Zoom is “fine” entailed a surrender to the barest bones of education, a terrible settling.In the book we are discussing, “A Room of One’s Own,” Virginia Woolf writes of the “profound, subtle and subterranean glow, which is the rich yellow flame of rational intercourse. No need to hurry. No need to sparkle. No need to be anybody but oneself.”Pauses are important. They 10(fill) with information. I cannot feel that on screen. Pauses are blank on screen, and because they are blank I fill them right away and there aren’t any.But in the classroom, I can feel when it is time to push farther into an idea. I can feel which students have something to say. I have not understand how much of teaching takes place outside of words.

I remember they had two cakes 1another sick child---his name was Bruce, and he was turning 7---had the same birthday. One cake was frosted half blue, half pink, the other all yellow.I’m guessing that I actually liked hearing the word” encephalitis “ over and over as the big people around me said it to each other in the days and nights 2my 1957 birthday; it has a cool percussive sound. In a small room with blue light, they 3(put) a lot of glue or something in my hair, and there had been a machine with lots of squiddy arms with button ends, which they attached to my head. I was frightened. My mother tried to explain it to me, but they needed her to be quiet.She couldn’t be there all the time; my two older sisters and my baby sister at home needed her too. And I remember my co-birthday friend Bruce 4(look) out for me, putting his arm around me, reassuring me, distracting me.There are those who, 5this kind of early experience of illness and hospitals, would go into medicine. I’m not one of them. I have a friend who is oddly grateful for the pandemic because, had his family not been isolated at home last April, his 11-year-old daughter would 6(die). Samantha had been reading in her room; her father had been in a virtual meeting downstairs. Her sister had come running, yelling that something was really wrong with Sam. Her dad sprinted to find her in a violent seizure, eyes rolled back; a silent abnormality in her brain had sparked a sudden calamity. Rushed to Yale New Haven Hospital and into impossibly complex and skillful surgery, she is now alive and well, with part of her skull 7(replace) by a 3-D printed piece. She is determined to be a pediatric brain surgeon. She’ll be good at it.Looking back at my 40-8years of making cards and books and music and such, it seems I’ve been determined to do in my own life what 7-year-old Bruce so kindly did for me: offer lively, distracting reassurance. I’ve been contriving a benevolent world for my child-self, and for other unsettled children.But in this past unpredictable year, seeing so many essential workers steadily doing their essential work, I’ve felt some uneasiness about being, essentially, non-essential. Nevertheless, I’ve been hyper-productive, if for no more noble reason than preserving my own sanity. (“I don’t have time to think about mortality! I have a ‘Find the Hidden Cows’ jigsaw puzzle to draw!”) I’ve worried sometimes 9maybe my quixotic, upbeat art has the wrong tone these days. But there was nothing else I wanted to do.Then, out of the blue, I got this message from a valued, worried friend:” We often read《Night-Night, Little Pookie》at bedtime, and I think every time about what it means to get my trusting little miracle girl off to bed when it’s not ‘gentle winds blowing’ above her, but a bitter and frightening gale.”This startled me, and offered a kind of illumination as to the “Why do it?” of things. Picturing this gentle, protective father with his miracle daughter, I see and remember what parents do, and 10 wondrous and difficult that can be, and how important it is . This is why we make birthday cakes, and light the candles.Key 1.because2.before3.had put4.looking5.with6.have died7.replaced8.whatever9.that10.howWord bank:sprint n.冲刺v.冲刺contrive v.谋划,设计第四篇A year ago, Aaron Gordon supposed it was all over for his restaurant under tight restrictions in Washington, DC. The city had ordered restaurants to close for eat-in dining. 1 a surge in orders for takeout and delivery soon pushed his takings back up. Sensing an opportunity he searched for a site to launch a takeout and delivery-only business. Ghostline DC, a vast kitchen 2space for six business to cook and box up food, is still going strong, he says, even as the city begins to let restaurants reopen.Covid-19 has been calamitous for many restaurants across America, as elsewhere. But for some it 3(present) an opportunity. Just as the pandemic has speeded up a trend in retail towards online sales, so has it hastened the rise of “ghost restaurants”, which offer food but no tables to eat it at. Uber Eats says it now has more than 10,000 delivery-only restaurants 4its platform in America, up from 3,000 in 2019.Big restaurant groups 5(launch) delivery-only operations. In February, Applebee’s launched Cosmic Wings, one of several chains with delivery-only chicken wings. Denny’s, another national chain, is launching two virtual brands from its kitchens.But smaller, independent outfits have been the nimblest. When the owners ofEspita, a high-end restaurant serving Oaxacan food in Washington, 6(realise) that survival depended on takeout but that much of its fare, from ceviche to tacos, did not travel well, it started a side-hustle in burgers. “We hoped it 7(allow) us to keep on our staff,” says Josh Phillips, a co-owner. Ghostburger now makes nearly as much as the core business did before the pandemic.Steve Salis is about to open a takeout and delivery-only food hall in Bethesda, with kitchen space for several of his restaurant business. He hopes Ensemble, 8it will be called, will show how such models allow brands to set up outposts in new areas.The delivery-only model has its drawbacks. Restauranteurs routinely use the word “hate” when they talk about the third-party delivery apps 9they depend to reach customers. Though some cities, including Washington, imposed limits on the fees such apps could charge restaurants during the pandemic, they take a chunk of the savings restaurants make by going virtual. Because drivers stack orders in one geographical area together, to maximise efficiency, restaurants have to assume each other will sit in a car for an hour before it reaches the customer.And the delivery model tends to miss out on lucrative alcohol sales. Americans love the convenience of ordering food. But the pandemic 10(remind)many that they can mix a cocktail perfectly well, and a lot more cheaply, at home.Key 1.But2.with3.has presented4.on5.are launching6.realised7.would allow8.as9. upon which10. has remindedWord bank:maximise v.把…增加到最大限度calamitous adj.灾难的,悲惨的hasten v.促进stack n.一堆v.使成整齐的一堆第五篇That throbbing headache just won’t go away and your mind is racing about what might be wrong. It turns out googling your symptoms may not be as ill-advised 1once thought.2some doctors advise against turning to the internet before making the trudge up the clinic, a new study suggests that researching symptoms online may not be harmful after all, 3could lead to modest improvements in diagnosis.Using “Dr Google” is controversial, with fears that it can lead to inaccurate diagnoses, bad advice 4where to seek treatment, and increased anxiety.Previous research into the subject 5(limit) to observational studies of internet search behavior, so researchers from Harvard sought to empirically measure the association of an internet search with diagnosis, triage, and anxiety by presenting 5,000 people in the US with a series of symptoms and 6(ask) them to imagine someone close to them was experiencing the symptoms.The participants were made up of roughly equal numbers of men and women with 7average age of 45. They were asked to provide a diagnosis based on the given information, which ranged from mild to severe, and described common illnesses such as viruses, heart attacks and stroke. Then , they looked up their case symptoms on the internet and again offered a diagnosis. Participants also 8(ask) to select a triage level, ranging from “let the health issue get better on its own” to calling emergency services, and to record their anxiety levels.The results showed a sharp increase in diagnosis accuracy, which was 49.8% 9____ the search and rose to 54% after the search . However, there was no difference in triage accuracy, or anxiety, the authors wrote in the journal JAMA Network Open.About three-quarters of the study participants were able to identify the severity of a situation, and appropriately choose when to seek care.The lead author, Dr David Levine, of the Boston-based Brigham and Women’s hospital and Harvard medical school, added that people with prior health experience, including women, older adults and those with poor reported quality of life were” hands-down” better at diagnosis.He said the findings suggested that medical experts and policymakers probably did not need to steer patients away from the internet when it came to seeking health information and self-diagnosis or triage. Instead, using the internet was likely to help patients figure out what was wrong.“We did not observe the often-touted ‘cyberchondria’. That is, after search, folks were not more anxious and heading to the emergency room for care. Many physicians believe that using the internet to search for one’s symptoms is a bad idea and this provides some evidence that is unlikely the case,” he said. “Searchers for the most part did not use poor sources of information such as that forums or social media. This similarly refutes the idea that folks who search the internet are obtaining’ bad advice’ from poor data sources.”Marcantonio Spada, an academic psychologist at London South Bank University who has researched cyberchondria, said the study highlighted the benefits of internet searching when confronted with health symptoms.” The question remains as to how much interest searching is ‘enough ’ to reach the goal of understanding 10the health symptom is about.

Humans have been keeping animals as pets for tens of thousands of years, but Dr Jean﹣Loup Rault, an animal scientist at the University of Melbourne in Australia, believes new companions are coming: robot pets."Technology is moving very fast, "Rault told ABC News, "The Tamagotchi in the early 1990s was really the first robotic pet, and now Sony and other big companies have improved them a lot."This may not sit well with pet lovers.After all, who would choose a plastic toy over a lovely puppy? But Rault argues that the robotic kind has a lot going for it: "You don't have to feed it, you don't have to walk it, it won't make a mess in your house, and you can go on a holiday without feeling guilty."The technology also benefits those who are allergic to pets, short on space, or fearful of real animals.It's not clear whether robot pets can replace real ones.But studies do suggest that we can bond with these smart machines.People give their cars names and kids give their toy animals life stories.It's the same with robots.When Sony stopped its repair service for its robot dog Aibo in March 2014, owners in Japan held funerals.As an animal welfare researcher, Rault is concerned about how robotic pets could affect our attitudes towards live animals."If we become used to a robotic companion that doesn't need food, water or exercises, perhaps it will change how humans care about other living beings, "he said.So are dogs and cats a thing of the past, as Rault predicts? For those who grew up with living and breathing pets, the mechanical kind might not do.But for our next generation who are in constant touch with smart technology, a future in which lovely pets needn't have a heartbeat might not be a far﹣fetched dream.(1).What does the underlined phrase"sit well with"means?________A be refused byB be beneficial toC make a difference toD receive support from.(2).What are the advantages of robot pets?________a.They are plastic and feel smooth.b.Owners needn't worry about them when going out.c.They can help cure allergies.d.They save space and costs.A abB bcC bdD cd.(3).We can learn from the passage that________.A Sony is the first company to produce robot pets Aibo.B People can develop strong bond with their robot pets.C Rault thinks robot pets still have a long way togo. D Robot toys may help people care more about living beings..(4).The passage mainly tells us________.A the advantages of robot toysB the popularity of robot petsC living pets are dying out.D robot pets are coming.3. Lee's mother Sun became unexpectedly pregnant while married to a disabled man.Doctors told her that because of a medication she had been taking her child would not be normal.She chose to continue with the pregnancy and in 1985 in Seoul, SouthKorea, little Hee Ah Lee was born with only two fingers on each hand, disfigurement of her legs, and slight brain injury.The hospital told Sun that she could not care for the child at home and her relatives wanted her to place the child for adoption in a foreign country.Sun, however, thought her baby would live a successful life.When Lee was a pre﹣schooler, Sun wanted her daughter to take piano lessons for two reasons.One was that she felt it would help her strengthen her hands so she could hold a pencil.The other was that she felt that if she could master the piano, she could master anything.For six months piano schools turned them down and then the one teacher whodid accept the task got discouraged and wanted to quit.It was a three﹣month contest of wills between mother and daughter that led to a conflict in which Sun actually threw her daughter on the floor in frustration.But Lee got back up on the piano bench and for the first time played a children's song.That was the turning point and one year later Lee won the grand prize in a piano concert for Kindergartners.It was at the age of 7 that Lee wonKorea's 19th National Handicap Conquest Contest and was presented with her award by the President of Korea.Lee has won numerous awards, and is a widely traveled concert pianist with more than200 appearances.Her first album titled"Hee﹣ah, a Pianist with Four Fingers"was releasedin June, 2008.Lee speaks highly of her mother for challenging her to master the piano and said that although her training was difficult, "As time went by, the piano became my source of inspiration and my best friend."(1).Which of the following can best describe Sun?________A stubborn and devotedB impatient and strictC enthusiastic andhardworking D honest and responsible.(2).What was probably in Lee's mind when on the floor?________A Learning piano was too difficult for her.B Life was unfair to her.C She would try her best to learn piano.D Her mother didn't love her any more..(3).When was Lee awarded by the president of Korea?________A 1985B 1992C 2008D 2007.(4).What's the best title of the passage?________A A 4﹣finger pianistB Love between mother and daughterC Learningpiano D An abnormal girl.4. Every year, millions of Americans see their personal information leak into the wrong hands.Maybe there's spyware on the their computer, or a service they use suffered a security reach, leaving customers at the risk of exposure.Or perhaps their password is easy to guess.Don't fear: You can easily set up proper defenses.Here's how.●Clean Your Computer and SmartphoneBefore you put new security measures into place, make sure your devices are as spotless as possible.This means installing a good antivirus program and taking the time to clear out any spy﹣or malware that may have already infected your system.These days, it's also worth it to make sure your phone is safe from viruses.iPhones are less likely to be targeted by spyware, but Android users should download the Lookout app to scan their devices and ensure everything is as it should be.●Secure Your WiFiIt's fairly easy for potential criminals to gain access to your information if they're able to share your connection﹣that's why you want to be careful when using public WiFi.Even though you put security measures into place a couple of years ago, it's a good idea to refresh your settings.●Use passwordsWhat you've heard is true: Passwords should use a variety of specialcharacters, numerals, letters, and cases when possible.●Check the shopping securityTake care when shopping online.Always check the security symbols when using an online site for shopping.If the lock icon encryption (加密) is not there, do not give out credit details.Also, check that the site is legal﹣never go to a site from a random email and start shopping online.Keep a separate credit card just for online shopping.This will make it easier to cancel if something bad does happen and your other credit card for"in real life"can still be used uninfluenced.Don't store information on any store's website.It may be convenient but it's also a possible loss to you if the site is hacked.(1).This passage is mainly about________.A ways of avoiding identity theftB tips of freeing computers fromviruses C measures to ensure network security D steps to keep track of passwords.(2).To put new security measures into place,we need to________.A clear out everything in the systemB make a random selection of networkC get rid of potential spywareD refresh the infected system.(3).According to the passage,the risk of exposing personal information may possibly be caused by________.A the applications of antivirus programsB the practice of using public WiFiC the difficult access to passwordsD the separate credit card for online shopping.(4).Which of the following is an improper way to shop online?________A Adopting a unique password for every website.B Shopping online at reliable websites.C Keeping credit details safe by checking securitysymbols. D Monitoring credit card by storing information online.第二节(满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项.选项中有两项为多余选项.5. As the saying goes,you can not change the environment,but can change their own.(1)_______ You can not change the past,but can be changed now.(2)_______ Winners will put setbacks and difficulties down to the imperfection of personal ability and experience,to emphasize the inherent factors,and they are willing to continuously improve and develop the right direction.However,the losers are always emphasizing external and uncontrollable factors that have created the position of their life.(3)_______ They always complain,wait and give up!In many cases,it is a humble person who looks down upon his own.A priori condition,such as one's appearance and family,can't be changed,but at least the inner state and the spirit of the will are entirely under their own control.(4)_______There is nothing absolutely bad,but the mentality of the absolutely poor people.If even the state of mind will not be adjusted,how they deal with things more complicated than the mentality of it!(5)_______ Passion put to work and numbness to work are completely different.Failure is seldom because we do not have the strength,but always because we are susceptible to all around us,and get used to going along with the lack of assertive,unstable attitude,and easily frustrated reason.As long as we change our attitude and face a number of disappointments in life bravely,we can feel the power of attitude,which decides the height of the final decision.A.Only when we are the masters of our own,can we do everything well.B.They will blame on injustice of the opportunity and the environment.C.Mentality is the final decision of life high.D.You can't change the facts,but can change attitudes.E.As long as we try our best,we can be successful.F.No matter what the situation,a person's attitude is very important.G.The difference between successful people and the losers lies in their mind.第二部分英语知识运用(共两节)第一节完形填空(共20 小题;每小题1.5分,满分30分)阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A, B, C, D)中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑.6.Life was hard, and Cam was broke as he had lost his job as a DJ.
