ASomething you may not know about End of HeatThe traditional Chinese lunar calendar divides the year into 24 solar terms. End of Heat is the 14th solar term of the year, which implies that most parts in China are getting rid of the hot summer and entering autumn. But in some areas, especially in South China, autumn is late in coming and people are still bothered by hot weather.

During this period, the Fishing Season Festival is held in regions along the coastline of the East China Sea in Zhejiang province.

When a library goer scanned Tutu’s QR code, Wangbao seemingly became annoyed, which brought a great amusement to the library goer who posted a video of the exchange that occurred on December 30 and has gone viral on social media.“Tutu, let’s stop fighting, OK?”said Wangbao．“Your mood sure swings a lot!”Tutu said.Wangbao raved, “Aren’t you a drama queen, I’m giving you an out. Stop being petulant!’’The library goer was even more amused, as the two robots grew noisier and angrier with each other, and finally, abruptly turning away from each other like naughty children.“It looks like how you quarrel with your girlfriend, ha-ha. ”one netizen posted.“I see myself from the quarrel, ”wrote another on Sina Weibo, which was echoed by many others.“It’s annoying to hear people arguing, and I didn’t expect I'd have to listen to robots arguing, ”another netizen wrote.The online video was widely circulating on Sina Weibo, with some 500, 000 views as of press time on Saturday. Tutu and Wangbao became internet hot figures, even attracting attention from major news outlets in the country.When the two online celebrities were interviewed by reporters on Friday, the two seems already forgave each other after three days．“It was a thing last year…Isn’t it normal to have quarrels between friends?’’Wangbao said in video posted by the Xinhua News Agency on Saturday.4. What’s the purpose of paragraph one?A. To show how smart the two robots are.B. To increase our awareness of AI technology.C. To introduce the following parts.D. To criticize the quarrel between the two robots.5. What was the library goer’s attitude towards the argument?A. Amazed.B. Entertained.C. Puzzled.D.

Where is the text most likely from?A. A textbook.B. A diary.C. A magazine.D. A website.CAs Australia experiences record-breaking drought and bush-fires, koala populations have declined along with their habitat, leading to koalas becoming“functionally extinct”. The chairman of the Australian Koala Foundation, Tabart, estimates that over 1, 000 koalas have been killed from the fires and that 80 percent of their habitat has been destroyed.Functional extinction is when a population becomes so limited that they no longer play an important role in their ecosystem and the population becomes no longer possible to live.Deforestation and bush-fires destroy the main food source of koalas, the eucalyptus(桉树)tree. An adult koala will eat up to 2 pounds of eucalyptus leaves per day as its main food.Many are asking the Australian government to pass The Koala Protection Act, written in 2016 but never passed into law. The Koala Protection Act would work to protect habitat and trees important to koala as well as protect koalas from hunting.Recent videos of Australians saving koalas has led to increased donation to help burned koalas. The Port Macquarie Koala Hospital set up a Go Fund Me page seeking donations to help the hospital treat injured koalas. To date, they have raised$1. 33 million, well over their $25, 000 goal, which comes from over 30, 000 donors. The funds will also be used for a“Koala Ark”as a refuge for burned koalas to live in healthy habitat.8．According to the first paragraph, what can we know about the drought and bush-fires?A. They are the most serious ones in the history of Australian.B. They have made koalas extinct.C. They have killed 80％of the koalas.D. They brought the most serious influence to Australian.9. When does functional extinction happen?A. When a species becomes extinct.B. When a species is limited to certain habitat.C. When ecosystem no longer plays an important role.D. When the number of a species becomes so small that they have little chance to live. 10．According to the passage, the following statements are true EXCEPT that_____．A. koalas mainly feed on eucalyptus tree leavesB. the Australian government has passed The Koala Protection Act into lawC. The Koala Protection Act is aimed to protect koalas and its habitatD. a good many Australians are quite concerned about koalas11. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. Some videos require people to donate for koalas.B. Go Fund Me page treated injured koalas.C. Australians have deep love for koalas and donate generously to help them.D. The funds will be used to set up healthy habitat for koalas.DChildren born in the past four decades had the luxury of being the center of their parents’attention. The entire family’s resources were poured into their education and well-being.However, when the same resources are split between two children, the amount distributed to each one is going to shrink.According to the Hangzhou Daily, when there are two children in the family, parents tend to choose public schools instead of private schools, which are usually more expensive．Each child is enrolled in fewer after-school training classes．But having a second child may cure some deep-rooted problems in China’s traditional family education.Having two children in the family can help to prevent one child being spoiled by too much attention, according to People’s Daily. It also spares the only child from the pressure of shouldering parental expectations all alone. Taking care of a sibling also enables children to gain a sense of responsibility, cooperation, obedience and caring.China’s public education system is also expected to shift. Currently, there are not enough vacancies in kindergarten and schools to accommodate the potential increase in children.“It’s not only the enrollment capacity of educational institutions that will feel the pressure．People are also placing more emphasis on the quality of education, ”Peng Xizhe, director of the Population and Development Research Policy Center at Fudan University, told China Education Daily．He predicts the government may have to invest more to support the educational system as a result of the new family planning measure.12. What can children benefit from a two-child family?A. They can have less pressure.B. They can study in private schools.C. They can get much more attention.D. They can take more after-school training classes.13. Which of the following words can replace the underlined word“accommodate”?A. holdB. adaptC. solveD. consider14. What can we infer from Peng Xizhe’s words?A. People are placing more emphasis on the quality of education.B. The government may have to invest more to support the educational system.C. The new family planning measure will challenge the current educational system.D. The educational institutions will feel the pressure that their capacity is not enough.15. What is the purpose of this text?A. To show benefits of owning two children.B. To persuade people to bear more children.C. To encourage people to have only one child.D. To introduce the impact of two-child policy.第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分, 满分12.5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。

A.They make peoplerun over the past days.B.They are the best books to be read before people sleep.C.They are extremely popular with young people.D.They make people feel relaxed and happy.25.What can we know from the text?A.Oor Wullie an d The Broons are the author’s favorite books.B.A comfortable blanket makes people go to sleep easily.C.The author sometimes reads something about inspiration.D.Reading something stimulating at night helps get a peaceful sleep.26.What is Paragraph 6 mainly about? A.What material brings us laughter. B.How laughter affects our health. C.What benefits laughter brings to us. D.Why laughter is good for us.27.What’s the main purpose of the text?A.To show the importance of reading before sleeping.B.To prove the importance of a good mood before sleeping.C.To tell us how to make ourselves stay relaxed before sleeping.D.To explain how to choose a book worthy to be read before sleeping.CSometimes people call each other “scared-cat”.But have you ever thought about this expression?When a cat is frightened,its heart starts beating faster,its muscles get tense and there are changes in the chemicals in itsbloodstream.Although the cat doesn’t realize this,its body is getting ready for action.If the danger continues,the animal will do one of two things.It will protect itself,or it will run away as fast as it can.Something like this also happens to people.When we are excited,angry or scared by other feelings,our bodies go through many physical changes.Our hearts beat faster,and our muscles get tense.All of these changes make us more alert and ready to react.We,too,get ready to defend ourselves or run.Human beings,however,have a problem that animals never face.If we give way to our feelings and let them take over,we can get into trouble.Have you ever said something in anger or hit somebody and regretted it later?Have you ever shouted at a teacher,told somebody you were lonely,or said you were inlove,and then wished later you had kept your mouth shut?It isn’t always clever to express your feelings freely.Does this mean that it’s smarter to always hide our feelings?No!If you keep feelings of anger or sadnesshidden away or bottled up inside,your body stays tense.Physical illness can develop,and you can feel disturbed badly inside.It can actually be bad for your health.It isn’t good to keep pleasant feelings inside either; all feelings need to be expressed.Feelings that you keep all bottled up inside don’t just go away.It’s as if you bought some bananas and put them in a cupboard.You might not be able to see them,but before long you’d smell them.And if you opened thecupboard,chances are th at you’d see little fruit flies flying all over them.They are bad.You can try to treat feelings as if they were bananas in the cupboard.You can hide them and you can pretend they don’t exist,but they’ll still be around.And at last you’ll have to deal with them,just like those bananas. 28.When people and animals are aroused by fear, . A.they feel veryregretful immediatelyB.their muscles get neither tense nor relaxedC.their hearts beat either faster or slowerD.they may get ready to attack or run away29.Why do human beings get into trouble according to the passage? A.They are usually not as alert as animals.B.They sometimes can’t control their feelings.C.They always do something wrong to other people.D.They don’t pay attention to the ir physical changes.30.What can we infer from the passage?A.Holding in your feelings may lead to unpleasant results.B.Bananas stay fresh longer when they are in a cupboard.C.Feelings will gradually disappear when you hold them in.D.It’s good for y our health to keep pleasant feelings inside. 31.What is the purpose of this passage?A.To tell us that people’s feelings are like bananas in a cupboard.B.To give us some advice on how to express our feelings.C.To help us deal with feelings in a wise and proper way.D.To prove that it isn’t always wise to express our feelings freely.DSome people are so rude!Who sends an e-mail or a text message that just says “Thank you”?Who leaves a voice mail message rather than texts you?Who asks for a fact easily found on Google?Don’t these people realize that they’re wasting your time?Maybe I’m the rude one for not appreciating life’s little politeness.But many social agreed standards just don’t make sense to people drowning in digital communication.In texts,you don’t have to declare who you are or even say hello.E-mail,too,is slower than a text.Voice mail is a now impolite way of trying to connect.My father learned this lesson after leaving me a dozen voice mail messages,none of which I listenedto.Exasperated,he called my sister to express his dissatisfaction that I never returned his phone calls.“Why are you leaving him voice mail?” my sister asked.“Just text him.”In the age of the smartphone,there is no reason to ask once-acceptable questions about:the weather forecast,a business’s phone number,or directions to a house,a restaurant,which can be easily found on Google Maps.But people still ask these things.And when you answer,they respond with a thank-you e-mail.How to handle these differing standards?Easy.Consider your audience.Some people,especially older ones,appreciate a thank-you message.Others,likeme,want no reply.The anthropologist (人类学家) Margaret Mead once said that in traditional societies,the young learnt from the old.But in modern societies,the old can also learn from the young.Here’s hoping that politeness never goes out o f fashion but that time-wasting forms of communication do.32.What does the underlined word “Exasperated” mean in the fifth paragraph? A.Worried. B.Surprised. C.Annoyed. D.Tired. 33.Why didn’t the writer reply to his father? A.He liked text messages better.B.He enjoyed checking his voice mail.C.He didn’t receive any voice mail messages.D.He didn’t want to talk with his father.34.Which of the following does the writer agree to?A.People needn’t learn from one another in traditional so cieties.B.Dealing with voice mail should vary with each individual.C.People needn’t turn to Google for help when in trouble.D.Declaring who you are or saying hello in texts is necessary. 35.What’s the best title of this passage?A.Nowadays:what should we do with text messages?B.Nowadays:do you like leaving others a voice message?C.Nowadays:what means should we use in communication?D.Nowadays:do you need a thank-you message? 第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,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。

Dancing changes the way we feel and think, and increases self-worth.As a dance psychologist and teacher, I have witnessed the ways dancing has changed the lives of hundreds of people. Then I set up the Dance Psychology Lab so that I could combine my knowledge in psychology with dance, using science to study the relationship between movement and the brain. What I found was extraordinary: people with Parkinson's disease（帕金森病）and dementia（痴呆）getting a new chance to live longer；an increase in the self-worth of teenagers；reductions in sadness and anxiety in adults；increases in social bonding between people；and fundamental changes in the way people think and solve problems. All because of dancing.Dancing stimulates the link between the body and the brain. The emotional high we get from dancing is due to dopamine（多巴胺）.This brain chemical plays a role in how we feel, and low levels are associated with feelings of anxiety, hopelessness, pain and mood swings. Dancing is a great way to overcome these negative feelings because the exercise and our emotional responsesto the music we're hearing can increase the release of dopamine in different parts of the brain. As dopamine levels go up, we can shake off some of those negative feelings and float into an excited state.Scientists suggest that the best time to learn a dance routine is before you go to sleep. This is because the brain builds new knowledge structures while we sleep, and it is these structures thatstrengthen our ability to learn and remember information.In our lab experiments, we found that people who did 20 minutes of improvised（即兴的）dancing became more creative when answering creative-thinking tasks. For example, before dancing, participants could generate about four or five alternative uses for a common object such as a brick or a newspaper, but after dancing they could generate seven or eight.4．Why does the author build the Dance Psychology Lab?A．To change how people think and feel. B．To help people increase their self-worth. C．To find out different social relationships. D．To study how dancing influences the brain. 5．What change does dancing bring in people?A．Dopamine levels go up. B．Their intelligence is raised.C．Sleep quality is improved. D．Parkinson's disease and dementia are cured. 6．When is the suggested time to learn dance moves?A．In the morning. B．Before sleeping.C．While working. D．In the evening.7．What do improvised dancing experiments show us?A．Dancing helps with our creativity.B．Dancing creates more activities.C．Dancing attracts more participants.D．Dancing inspires us to use more objects.C（2021·辽宁鞍山市·鞍山一中高三月考）Grays Peak (山顶) in Colorado rises 14,278 feet above sea level, too high for trees to grow toward the top, yet there are plenty of bushes and rocks.It was August 2018, and Wedelstedt, 56, was on her way back down the path with three friends. A storm was coming, and they were anxious to get off the mountain. When they approached a rocky drop of a couple of feet, Wedelstedt decided to jump over it. She landed on her left leg. Then she heard the snap (咔嚓声).Every step after that was great pain. Before long, she had to stop. As one friend ran down to get help, a number of other hikers, all strangers, attempted to help Wedelstedt down the narrow path by walking on either side of her to support her weight, but that proved slow and dangerous.Finally, one hiker, Matt, asked her, “How do you feel about a fireman’s carry?” Before she knew it, he had lifted her over his shoulder. “Now, I’m not tiny,” says We delstedt, a former college basketball star. Matt clearly couldn’t carry her all the way down by himself. So six hikers and one of her friends took turns carrying her while she tried to make light of a difficult situation. Three hours and two rock-strewn (遍布) miles later, this human conveyor belt finally met the doctors, who took Wedelstedt to the hospital.She has mostly recovered from her hike, but Wedelstedt knows she’ll never shake one thing from that d ay: the memory of the band of strangers who came to her rescue. “I am still in awe.” says Wedelstedt.8．What happened to Wedelstedt while climbing down the mountain?A．She was caught in a heavy storm.

I know I lack the necessary DIY skills, but luckily there are numerous books and online videos that will hopefully give me the information I need. Publications that help us to help ourselves are nothing new, but the range of them is increasing with advice being given far beyond practical tasks around the house.Bookshops these days are full of titles which claim to boost your self-confidence, your wealth, your love life or your career. Some claim to improve your life within seven days! It's big business and it's thought that the self-help industry is worth $10bn in the US alone.The first self-help book called 'How to Win Friends and Influence People' was published in 1936, and has since sold 30 million copies and is still popular now. It includes guidance on how to make people like you and how to make your life happier. It might seem strange to think that we need a book to tell us how to live our lives but self-help books remain a go to remedy for those of us looking for enlightenment.There are, of course, trends in what we need help with. Emma Marshall, who works at British bookshop Waterstones, says “at the moment we're in the tidying up, getting rid of things trend... I think the trend right now is about slowing down in your life." It seems there is always something we need help with, and reading about it can be very therapeutic - it makes us feel good, even if we don't do anything about it.Of course, the internet has become the place to go to for salvation. We've got used to searching for solutions online, and now these solutions even include howto fix or improve our lives. Interestingly, psychologist Caroline Beaton, says people called 'millennials' are self-critical — they are aware of their own faults — which also means they're more likely to spend time and money on self-help. There's also a theory that the self-help industry does well during a recession — people are perhaps even more likely to reach for self-help to improve their situation.Whatever the reason for the continued interest in self-help, it's good to know help is at hand when we need it. The alternative to finding a happier life is just to come to terms with yourself as you are -I know, I read about it in a book! Do you believe in self-help books?4. Where else can you get self-help advice apart from books?A.From teachersB.From friendsC.From the InternetD.From parents5.What do you know about self-books?A.They may offer you some keys to success.B.They hasn't gained great popularity.C.All of us enjoy them very much.D.They can certainly improve your life within seven days.6. Why do millennials spend more money on self-help books according to Caroline Beaton?A.They are stuck in a recession.B.They realize they are not perfect.C.They are more likely to have access to books.D.They haven't got used to searching for solutions online.7. What can we infer from the passage?A.People don't have interest in self-help books.B.Accepting yourself as you are makes you happier.C.The self-help industry makes little difference during a recession.D.The current trend in self-help books is about rushing around and taking things easier.CIt used to be mostly the military that used small, unpiloted aircraft, called “drones”. The little planes were very costly. But as they hav e dropped in price more people have begun to use them. Rescue workers and farmers are among the new users.The fast rate of the development of computer technology, image sensing devices, satellite navigation (卫星导航) and smartphones has led to lower-priced drones. Researchers and developers have learned how to build smaller and less-costly drones. Moviemakers are using drones to film from the sky. Historians use them when they explore ancient buildings. Rescue workers use them to look for people. And now farmers are using them to monitor their crops.Romain Faroux is a French businessman who starts companies. His father was a farmer. He believed drones could help farmers. He helped create a company that developed a small drone that could be controlled by people on the ground. They called it “Agridrone”. It uses a special “optical sensor (光学传感器)” to examine crops. The technology used is similar to that used by smartphones—except it has wings.A computer program directs the drone to fly over the crops. The sensor on the drone records four different-colored “bands”of sunlight that are reflected off the crops.Jean-Baptiste Bruggeman is a farmer. He says the drone flies over his crops at different times of the season. This provides a lot of information about his crops. The drone pictures show him the exact amount of fertilizer the crops need. It also shows exactly where the fertilizer is needed.Romain Faroux says farmers use information collected by the Agridrone to place fertilizer only in areas where it is needed. This saves money and reduces pollution. Before they used the drones, farmers would put the same amount of fertilizer everywhere. Drones also save time because farmers can examine up to three hectare (公顷) in about a minute.8.Why do rescue workers and farmers begin to use drones?A.Drones can monitor their cattle.B.Drones’ prices have dropped.C.Drones can help them get more business.D.Drones’ sizes become smaller.9.What can the drones developed by Romain Farour’s company do?A.Explore ancient buildings.B.Put fertilizer on the crops.C.Help farmers examine their crops.D.Help rescue workers look for people.10.What can the sensor on the drone do?A.Help the sunlight shine on the crops.B.Direct the plane to fly over the crops.C.Examine the different colors of the crops.D.Record the sunlight reflected off the crops.11.According to the text, the use of the drone is __________.A.environment-friendlyB.wastefulC.costlyD.safeDScientists often compare coral reefs(珊瑚礁) to underwater rainforests, yet unlike the leafy plant base of a forest, corals are animals. The soft creatures are naturally half-transparent and get their brilliant color from algae(藻类) living inside them. When corals experience stress from hot temperatures or pollution, they halt the interdependent relationship with algae, typically pushing them out and turning white. Corals are still alive when they are white, but they're at risk and many eventually die, turning dark brown.Scientists around the world are looking for means to protect and maybe increase corals. One common option is to create more protected areas —essentially national parks in the ocean. Beyond nature preserves, some conservationists are looking to more hands-on methods. One research center in the Florida Keys is exploring a form of natural selection to keep corals remaining. The reef system in the Keys has been hit hard by climate change and pollution, which is especially tough, because corals there help support fisheries worth $ 100 million every year.To keep the wild ecosystem alive, Erinn Muller, the center's director, and her team are harvesting samples of the corals that survived the environmental stress naturally, keeping them to make them reproduce, and then reattaching them to the reef. They have 46,000 corals on plastic frames under the sea. So far, the center has regrown over 70,000 corals from five different species on damaged reefs.In The Bahamas, Ross Cunning, a research biologist at Chicago's Shedd Aquarium, focuses on corals with genes that could make them natural candidates for restoration projects. He published a study of two Bahamian reefs, one that survived an extreme 2015 heat wave, and one that didn't. "We think their ability to deal with these higher temperatures is built into their genes," says Cunning. There's evidence of corals evolving more quickly to resist rapidly warming climate. The big question scientists need investigate, adds Gunning, is how much more heat corals can adapt to.12. What does the underlined word "halt" in the first paragraph mean?A. End.B. Develop.C. Strengthen.D. Weaken.13. What do Muller and her team do to save corals?A. Restore the damaged reefs.B. Grow corals by hand underwater.C. Create more protected areas.D. Move corals to unpolluted areas.14. What do Cunning's words suggest?A. Many corals have been genetically improved.B. Cooling down the waters is key to rescuing corals.C. Reasons for corals surviving heat waves are shocking.D. The highest temperature corals can survive is unclear.15. Which can be a suitable title for the text?A. Relationship between corals and algaeB. Efforts made to save coralsC. Impact of climate warming on coralsD. Survival crisis faced by coral reefs第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，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。

For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.Exploring BeyondFollowing the call of our restless genes has not ended well forall explorers. The British explorer Captain James Cook died in afight with Hawaiians ten years after he received the precious mapfrom Tupaia. His death, some say, brought to a close 【小题1】Western historians call the Age of Exploration. Yet it hardly【小题2】（end）our exploring. We have remained enthusiastic about fillingin the Earth's maps; reaching its farthest poles, highest peaks, and deepest trenches（海豹）; sailing to its every corner and then flying off the planet entirely. With the NASA Rover Curiosity now【小题3】（stir）us all as it explores Mars, some countries and private companies are preparing to send humans to the red planet as well. Some visionaries even talk of having a spacecraft【小题4】（send）to the nearest star.NASA's Michael Barratt—a doctor, diver, and jet pilot; a sailor for 40 years; an astronaut for 12—is among those【小题5】ache to go to Mars. Barratt consciously sees himself as an explorer Cook and Tupaia. "We're doing what 【小题6】did," he says. "It works this way at every point in human history. A society develops an enabling technology, 【小题7】it's the ability to preserve and carry food or build a ship or launch a rocket."Not all of us【小题8】ride a rocket or sail the infinite sea. Yet, 【小题9】a species, we're curious enough and interested enough bythe prospect to help pay for the trip and cheer at the voyagers return. Yes, we hope to find a better place to live or acquire alarger territory or make a fortune. But we also explore simply【小题10】（discover）what's there.二、选用适当的单词或短语补全短文2. Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one wordUndercover WingsThe nocturnal（夜间活动）dot-underwing moth（蛾）may use shape -shifting patterns on its wings as a way to attract mates in the dark. In a study published last September in Current Biology, scientists report the【小题1】on males' forewings of three patches（色斑）that change darkness and size when viewed from particular angles. In females, the entire forewing darkens.Although butterfly and moth species that are active during the day are known to employ visual effects to communicate, researchers had thought their nocturnal cousins relied almost【小题2】on chemical signals because of the lack of light. But these【小题3】wing patterns, now found for the first time in a nocturnal moth, suggest the insects may also use visual signals. Because only the males have this pattern, researchers say it is likely a（n）【小题4】selected mechanism.Jennifer Kelley, an ecologist based at the University of Western Australia, and her colleagues first noticed the visual phenomenon while looking at museum moth specimens（标本）for another project. "As soon as we figured the effect was angle-【小题5】, we knew that to understand how it works, we had to understand the【小题6】physics," Kelley says. The group contacted Gerd Schröder-Turk and Bodo Wilts, who are physicists at Murdoch University in Perth and the Adolphe Merkle Institute in Switzerland respectively.Together the researchers found that when the wings are viewed from above, they【小题7】available light directly, like a dull mirror. When viewed from an angle, however, they let some of thelight through to reveal a deeper layer of darkness, which【小题8】as patches on the male's wings. If the insects were to beat their wings 【小题9】—a common behavior among males approaching potential mates—the patches would flash on and off, creating a striking signal even in very【小题10】light.三、完形填空3. When you are stuck on a problem, sometimes it is best to stop thinking about it—consciously, anyway. Research has shown that taking a break or a nap can help the brain create_________to a solution. Now a new study_________on the effect of this so-called incubation（潜伏期）by using sound cues to focus the sleeping mind on a targeted problem.When humans sleep, parts of the brain replay certain memories, strengthening and transforming them. About a decade ago researchers developed a technique, called targeted memory reactivation（TMR）, aimed at further enhancing_________memories: when a sound becomes associated with a memory and is later played during sleep, that memory gets_________. In a study published last November in Psychological Science, scientists tested whether_________the memory of a puzzle during sleep might also improve problem-solving.About 60 participants visited the laboratory before and after a night of_________. First, they_________spatial, verbal and conceptual puzzles, with a distinct music clip repeating in the background for each, until they had worked on six puzzles they could not solve. Overnight they wore electrodes（电极）to detect slow-wave sleep, which may be important for memory enhancement—and a device played the sounds _________to three of the six unsolved puzzles. The next day, back at the lab, the participants attempted the six puzzles again.（Each repeated the experiment with a different set of puzzles the following night.） All told, the subjects solved 32 percent of the sound-stimulated puzzles compared with 21 percent of the_________puzzles.The researchers "very bravely went for quite complex tasks that involved a lot of complex processing, and remarkably they found these really strong effects in all of their __________." says Penny Lewis,a psychologist at Cardiff University, who was not involved in the research. "These are supercool results. Now we need to go out and try to understand them by firstly replicating（复制）them and secondly trying to __________the component processes that are actually being influenced."Beyond providing new evidence that humans restructure memories while sleeping, the research may have __________implications. "In a futuristic world, maybe TMR could help us use sleep to work on our problems," says lead author Kristin Sanders, who was a graduate student at Northwestern University during the study. Sleep-monitoring technology is increasingly accessible—and even without devices, prospective solvers can focus on important problems before __________.Still, sleep is not __________; people need to do their homework and load their heads with the puzzle pieces involved. "I'm not goingto solve cancer with this technique," Sanders says, "because I am totally __________cancer research."【小题1】A．applications B．commitment C．attention D．pathways【小题2】A．counts B．expands C．insists D．passes【小题3】A．treasured B．selected C．devoted D．shortened 【小题4】A．dimmed B．stored C．reactivated D．researched 【小题5】A．neglecting B．examining C．erasing D．revisiting 【小题6】A．sleep B．experiment C．training D．relaxation 【小题7】A．created B．solved C．attempted D．classified 【小题8】A．assigned B．transformed C．explained D．introduced 【小题9】A．unsettled B．untargeted C．unstated D．untested【小题10】A．puzzles B．brains C．processes D．tasks【小题11】A．work out B．turn to C．take on D．bring about 【小题12】A．individual B．conceptual C．practical D．collective 【小题13】A．dinner B．dawn C．bed D．schooling 【小题14】A．significant B．magic C．fixed D．possible【小题15】A．dependentonB．curiousaboutC．interestedinD．ignorant of四、阅读选择4. I confess I hesitated when the editor in chief of The New York Times Magazine told me in late 2014 that I would be editing a new front-of-book column called Letter of Recommendation, about stuff people really like. The column was the brainchild of our staff writer, Sam Anderson, he explained. Sam figured that there was no shortage of places to find out what writers hate but few spaces for writers to talk about what they love. We would push against this trend, 900 words a week, 40-something times per year.The reason for my hesitation was a simple, unfortunate fact about writing. Writing about things you hate is easy: not just fun, but generative. The criticism tends to entertain, even if you disagree, but the ode doesn't. The writerly tone is well-suited to our age, but it's hard not to see it as a collective defense mechanism—as if revealing your true feelings exposes your unmentionable secrets to the public. Obsessions（喜欢）, meanwhile, are inseparable from our peculiarities as people—we come to love things for often weird reasons. When the column really works, it's as revealing about the author as it is its subject. One writer, a man in his late 30s, for example, recommended Pedialyte, which he drinks to balance theeffects of both drinking and exercise, and to cheat his way back to youth.I probably see somewhere between three and five Letter of Recommendation pitches a day. It's a great spot for trying out new writers in the magazine, so I try my best to keep up with all the email, but I often fail.（I feel genuinely terrible about this every day of my life.） Determining which to assign involves seeing how it meets the various criteria we've settled on over the years. We don't like the column to be timely—everything else in the world is timely. But on the other hand, we need to put a headline on the thing that people might reasonably recognize, stop and read about. There should be a personal angle to the recommendation, but also some universally recommendable aspect. But then again, it shouldn't be too recommendable; this isn't a column for lifehacks. The recommendation itself should be attractively unexpected—"sideways," as editors are perhaps too fond of saying—but really, it's just an excuse to cut brilliant writers loose to amuse or inspire us.【小题1】Sam Anderson proposed a column called Letter of Recommendation because he found ________.A．the fashion trend was not easy to push againstB．there was a shortage of good quality columnsC．writers could hardly find a place to share their likesD．his brainchild could sometimes increase readership【小题2】The word "ode"（in paragraph 2）is closest in meaning to________.A．praise B．blame C．hesitation D．determination 【小题3】Why is the writer in his late 30s mentioned in paragraph 2? A．To give an example of the writerly tone.B．To highlight the way that the column selects writers.C．To show how a collective defense mechanism works.D．To illustrate how writers reveal themselves in the column.【小题4】The writer hopes that in the column, ________.A．the recommended items are quite familiar to readersB．the recommended items should follow the latest trendC．readers can learn about life skills from the recommendations D．readers will find the recommendations beyond their expectation5. LilyStudying abroad is an area that is becoming increasingly interesting for researchers, as more students are choosing to do a semester, a year or even a degree in another country. In my research, I set out to establish whether young people attending a course abroad acquire more global awareness than students enrolled on similar courses in their home country, Using a comparative study of 50 Canadian undergraduates, half of whom studied abroad for varying lengths of time, there were shown to be considering gains in global awareness and these were not only noted by the students themselves but also their tutors.ThomasMy research project asked ten students starting a year of study abroad to keep a daily record of their experiences. Having begun the diary a month before leaving home they continued it for a month after they returned. The primary reason for studying abroad in all cases was to polish their language skill. The students were allowed towrite as freely as they wished by were asked to include comments on their language learning experience as well as on the strategies they used to cope with living in a new culture. Analysing the diaries, we found remarkably similar patterns. All the participants demonstrate a gradual recognition and acceptance of difference in other cultures and a new objectivity about their own culture as a result of their experience.JasmineThis paper reports on some research carried out last year into why students choose a period of study abroad, their reasons for selecting a specific destination, their behaviour when abroad and the extent to which the experience matches their expectations. Having administered a questionnaire to 1,000 international students studying at a number of universities in Australia, we got 696 responses. An initial analysis of the responses has revealed some interesting data suggesting that the key factor affecting all the areas we were investigating was the individual's personality and study interests. Country of origin and 'gender proved less significant than expected.JimmyThis research looked at the career paths of 35 young business people who had spent part of their university course at a foreign educational institution in order to ascertain whether those people had acquired greater cross-cultural perspectives through their experience of study abroad. Concerned about the lack of cultural awareness of their staff, a group of US business corporations proposed the research. The results are less conclusive than expected, but they do suggest that a period of study in a foreign country may help students to develop the cross-cultural awareness that US employers currently seek.【小题1】The passage is mainly about four researchers' findings on________.A．the reasons for young students to study abroadB．the impact and effects of studying in another countryC．the trend of more students furthering their study abroadD．the interest of students who once studied in another country【小题2】________used the subjects' personal account as the research material.A．Lily B．Thomas C．Jasmine D．Jimmy【小题3】According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?A．Most of the researchers found the students global awareness increased.B．All of the researchers took a reserved attitude towards studying abroad.C．None of the researchers thought gender played a role in students' choice.D．Only one of the researchers did research on the subjects' career development.6. When antibiotics（抗生素）first became available,farmers used them freely. Now scientists know that the overuse of antibiotics can cultivate drug-resistant bacteria that are dangerousto human health. Among debates over what kinds of restrictions should be put in place, figuring out how antibiotic-resistant bacteriaevolve and make their way to humans remains an area of intense interest.Jo Handelsman is tracing one such pathway that, as she puts it, travels from "farm to table."Handelsman, a microbiologist who is now associate director for science at the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, looked into dairy cows, which are oftentreated with antibiotics and produce manure（排泄物）that farmers use on their crops. In addition to nutrients, that fertilizer may harbor antibiotic-resistant bacteria—a problem because the bacteria can come into contact with plants that are finally shipped to supermarkets and sometimes eaten raw.To find out how those antibiotic-resistant bacteria come to exist, Handelsman and her colleagues at Yale University added manure from a nearby Connecticut farm to raised beds of soil in 2013. In this case, the manure specifically came from cows that were not treated with antibiotics. The researchers unexpectedly found that there were more soil bacteria carrying antibiotic-resistant genes when they were grown with the manure than when they were grown with syntheticnitrogen-based fertilizer—even though the cows were drug-free.Previous research has found that manure from pigs treated with antibiotics contains resistant bacteria, but the cow-pie results suggest there are more factors promoting resistance besidesantibiotic use. Something about manure itself may encourage naturally resistant bacteria to increase.The findings should not, however, give the impression that resistance is everywhere, notes Lance Price, a microbiologist at George Washington University（who was not involved in the study）. "We can control this. There's very clear evidence that when we turnoff the antibiotic tap, we bring down drug-resistant bacteria," says Lance.Next on the farm-to-table schedule, Handelsman will test whether radishes grown in soil treated with cow manure are capable of taking up resistant genes from bacteria through their vascular system（循环系统）. "They have veins（血管）just like us," she says. "We don'thave any evidence yet that they're taking up the bacteria, but it's a really interesting possibility."【小题1】What does Jo Handelsman's research focus on?A．How antibiotics makes its way onto our table.B．What restrictions should be put to antibiotics use.C．How antibiotics-resistant bacteria reach human beings.D．What damage the overuse of antibiotics does to humans.【小题2】What did Jo's research find?A．Drug-free cows produced manure with antibiotic-resistant bacteria. B．Synthetic nitrogen-based fertilizer did more good to the environment.C．Soil bacteria carrying antibiotic-resistant genes were increasing with time.D．Manure from pigs treated with antibiotics contained fewerresistant bacteria.【小题3】Lance Price is quoted in the passage in order to ________. A．provide more evidence that drug-resistance bacteria are dangerous B．suggest another possible explanation to the antibiotics problems C．emphasize the importance of feeding cows with no antibiotics D．show that the research findings may not be that worrisome【小题4】Which of the following statements is Jo most likely to agree with?A．It is very likely that widespread resistance to antibiotics is not inevitable.B．Plants grown in soil fertilized with cow manure may contain drug-resistant genes.C．There is possibility that radishes take up resistant genes wherever they are planted.D．The vascular system plays a key role in guarding radishes against bacteria.五、六选四7. Washing the dishes can help you live longer in later yearsEven a small increase in light activity, such as washing dishesor a little gentle gardening, might help lower the risk of an early death among older adults, researchers say.“It is important for elderly people, who might not be able to do much moderate intensity activity, that just moving around and doinglight intensity activity will have strong effects and is beneficial,” said Ulf Ekelund, a professor and first author of the study at the Norwegian School of Sport Sciences. However, the study finds that there is more “bang for your buck” if you engage in intense activity compared with light activity. 【小题1】Published in the BMJ, the latest research involved a review of eight studies encompassing a total of more than 36,000 people with an average age of almost 63 years. Participants were followed for five to six years; 2,149 deaths were recorded. Crucially, all of the studies involved monitoring the physical activity of individuals who had activity trackers. 【小题2】For each study participants were split into four equal-sized groups, based on the total amount of time spent active, and the risk of death assessed, taking into account factors such as age, gender, body mass index, and socioeconomic status.

Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize in no more than 60 words the main idea of the passage and how it is illustrated. Use your own words as far as possible.The Useful BeanDo you know what the common factor in bee food, vinyl plastic, and tofu is? It is the soybean. Some part of the soybean is used in these products as well as many other edible（可以食用的）and nonedible products.The soybean is also considered to be one of the multipurpose and hardy plants. It can grow in low-quality soil. Throughout the life of the plant, a release of nutrients throughout plant roots makes soil more fertile. Soybeans are also very high in protein. With its hardiness, soil benefits, high-protein content, and various uses, some people believe the soybean will become the greatest weapon against world hunger.There are three standard procedures taken from the soybean plant—oil, protein, and whole soybeans. Oil is used for edible purposes such as cooking oil and salad dressing. Industries make nonedible use of soybean oil by adding to antistatic sprays, printer ink, and shampoo. One significant nonedible use of soybean oil is the making of vinyl plastics. Vinyl is used to make everything fromcredit cards and garden hoses to computer parts.Protein from the soybean is also used in edible and nonedible products. Edible uses for the protein include baby foods and hypoallergenic milk. Even animals benefit: bee food and fish food contain protein from the soybean. Some industries use the protein for nonedible purposes such as cosmetics, adhesives, yarn, and water-based paints.Items made using whole soybeans are the most commonly recognized product of the soybean plant. Whole soybeans are used to make foodfor people and animals. Grocery stores carry a variety of foods made with whole soybeans. Some of these items are pancake flour, coffee, soymilk, soy sauce and tofu.As the versatility（多用途）and hardiness of this bean gains popularity, more uses of soybean products will certainly be discovered._____________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________ ______________________七、汉译英（整句）9. 在他看来，值得投资的是体验，而不是物品。

I was finishing up the first year of an MFA program in poetry. I was tired and puzzled. "Was I good enough to be in the program?" When a professor asked about our summer plans, I panicked. I didn't want to appear idle(闲散的). "Gardening," I responded immediately. Actually I knew nothing about plants! My professor nodded, saying, "What a good idea, Mari! Emily Dickinson loved gardening." Emily Dickinson had lived in the countryside, studying plants as a child. I was in my late twenties, living in the city without gardening experience.A few days later, I bought a jalapeño seedling(青辣椒秧苗). At least I could say I'd tried gardening. I watered and changed the dirt for my little plant. I even talked to it. And over the summer, it grew bigger and bigger. I was proud. Maybe I didn't have a black thumb after all.I started the second year of my MFA, and then it was almost December and my jalapeño was suffering. It was brown in some places; many of its leaves had fallen off. Would my little guy make it? I prayed, "Please be okay." As if its survival were closely linked to mine.I worked hard in school. Spring came. My jalapeño plant came back to life. It grew bigger, with new leaves. And then it flowered. I handed in my graduate paper--a book of poems--in May. "Your poems are strong," my professor said.A huge weight lifted. I'd done it! At that time, I found the flowers on my jalapeño plant were gone. I watchedcloser. Where a flower had been, a tiny green fruit pushed through. I smiled. I had succeeded in my MFA program, and my jalapeño plant had grown right beside me, and I successfully did things I hadn't thought possible.4．Why did the author begin gardening?A．Just by accident.B．For the love for gardening.C．To express fancy for Emily Dickinson.D．Because of the reminding of a professor.5．When did the author begin her first gardening?A．In her childhood.B．In one of her summer breaks.C．In her teens.D．In her first year of MFA program.6．What does the underlined phrase "a black thumb" in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A．A talent to grow plants.B．A dirty finger to touch plants.C．A good fortune to do everything.D．An inability to do gardening.7．Which proverb can best describe the story above?A．Nothing is impossible to a willing mind.B．Easier said than done.C．It's never too old to learn.D．Do not teach fish to swim.CCreated in the 1920s by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott, the architect who designed Waterloo Bridge, red public telephone boxes, which can be seen all over the UK, are regarded as one of the most typical symbols of this country.However, public phones have had their day despite their lovely housings. While coin-operated and card-operated telephones are on the edge of extinction, mobile phones are playing a significant role in people's lives. Though they are more portable, flexible and extensively used, mobile phones have their weakness: battery life. Instead of trashing the phone booths, a project was then promoted to recycle and reuse them. To be consistent with the environment-friendly preference, people are allowed to rent and repurpose the red phone boxes. In this way, they are making an unusual come back. When you take a walk down Tottenham Court Road in London and find low-battery condition, there happens to be a green option for you. The abandoned the red phone boxes are beingused as free charging stations powered by solar energy.Inside the booths, which are newly painted green, there are various adaptors that can be connected to different brands and models of mobile phones. Just walk in, plug your phone in, and charge it up whenever it needs to be supplied with power. Most people would stay inside the boxes while they charge. Fully aware of this when launching the project, Solarbox can now reach a large quantity of audience by displaying ads on solid equipment. Its advertisers include well-known companies like Uber. Yet 30% of advertising space is reserved for local community projects.Apart from converting phone booths into solar-powered charging stations, other forms of transformation can be found in and outside the UK. For example, there is medical equipment or minilibraries adapted from phone booths, while in America, thousands of phone booths have been transformed into wi-fi hot spots.8．What do you know about the public phones boxes?A．The public phones were abandoned.B．The public phones have been replaced by mobile phones.C．The public phones played a significant role in people's lives.D．The public phones are regarded as typical symbols of this country.9．What does the underlined word "repurpose" in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A．Adapt.B．Produce.C．Unite.

It starts as early as kindergarten. By the time students reach college, women graduate at a higher rate than men. But there’s an exception. Boys match the grades of girls in elementary school, a new study has found. For them, the gender achievement gap doesn’t appear until adolescence — at which point they start doing worse as a group than girls.More and more studies have shown that boys’ under-performance is not because of any internal reasons. Instead, it seems, it’s largely because of something external: their school environments and peer influences. Thenew study offers a clue about how much school environments affect boys’ academic achievement. Ms. Hsin found that the gender gap for boys in high school was smaller in schools that were less sports-focused, and where boys did better over all. Other studies have also stressed the importance of the school and social environments, especially for boys. For boys, these influences change in adolescence, Ms. Hsin found, a time when children become more aware of their gender identity and are more influenced by peers.One working paper found that the best-performing students had a combination of behaviors typically considered male and female. It used nationally representative survey data about gender standard for about 12,000 high school students. The most traditionally girls and the most boys had the lowest grades.Researchers have other suggestions. Show them role models who got where they are by doing well in school. Emphasize the importance of hard work and daily practice, and encourage both boys and girls to embrace a full range of fields, and not to feel limited by gender roles. Place high expectations on children, and give them opportunities to meet them.12．When do the boys perform as well as the girl?A．In college. B．In kindergarten.C．In elementary school. D．In senior high school.13．What makes the boys perform worse than the girl?A．Their behaviors.B．Their characteristics.C．Their family influences.D．Their school environments.14．What did Ms. Hsin find in his study?A．The boys did better over girls.B．The children are more influenced by peers.C．Social environments influenced boys more.D．The gender gap for girls in high school was smaller in schools.15．What can we infer from the last paragraph?A．Children will benefit from role models.B．Children can perform well by working hard.C．Children should be limited by gender roles.D．Children traditionally have the lowest grades in school.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分，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。
