AHere's another reason to get off the couch and start working up a sweat. Time the exercise right and you could improve your ability to remember something new. That's the finding of a new study.But it all comes down to timing. To lock up the new information, start burning those calories roughly four hours after you took in the new information. That's according to researchers at an institute on brain, cognition(认知)and behavior. It's at Radboud University's Medical Center, in Nijmegen, the Netherlands. Eelco van Dongen and his colleagues shared their new findings in the June 16 Current Biology.This precisely timed memory trick comes from tests with 72 people. Each learned the location of 90 objects on a computer screen. Afterwards, some of the members watched relaxing nature videos. Others worked up a sweat on body-building bikes, changing between hard and easy riding for 35 minutes. Their workouts came either soon after the cram session(考前突击复习)or four hours later.Two days later they were tested again, Those who remembered the objects' sites best were the people who had waited four hours after their learning before riding. Among those who remembered sites correctly, the four-hour delay before biking also led to more consistent activity in an area important for memory. It's known as the hippocampus(海马区).The consistent activity here suggests that the memories had been strong, the scientists say.Van Dongen's team does not yet know how exercise works its memo magic. They do, however, have a guess. Aerobic exercise leads to me creation of several important chemicals in the brain. One is a protein known as BDNF. The other is dopamine (DO-puh-meen). It can help convey messages between nerve cells. These two chemicals may help strengthen memories by linking brain cells, the researchers suspect.21.The best way to lock up the new information is .A.to get off the couch soon after their learningB.to do sports for four hours and work up a sweatC.to see some nature videos on a computer screenD.to do sports four hours after taking in new information22.Which is NOT right about the experiment?A.There are 90 objects on the screen.B.They were tested again two days later.C.72 people took part in the experiment.D.They all had to do riding for 35minutes.23.How does exercise work its memory magic?A.By the hippocampus.B.No one knows for sure.C.A protein known as BDNF.D.A protein known as dopamine.BFor the Swiss, punctuality is a source of deep satisfaction. They obtain real joy from the fact that life unfolds on time and in a highly efficient manner. Whenever I visit Switzerland, I go through several stages of punctuality reaction. At first it delights me, especially if I'm coming from Neighbouring Italy or France with their rather more flexible approach to timekeeping. By contrast, life in Switzerland is enthusiastic and dependable. If someone says they will meet me at 2 pm, they arrive at 2 pm not 2:05 (or 1:55,for that matter). I like this, for a while.Then it annoys me. The extreme punctuality strikes me as a kind of being mean, and I find myself agreeing with the English writer Evelyn Waugh who said that "punctuality is the virtue of the bored."That is unfair though, and finally I come to appreciate Swiss punctuality for what it is: a deep expression of respect for other people. A punctual person is a considerate one. By showing up on time for everything, a Swiss person is saying, in effect, " I value your time and, by extension, I value you."It's no coincidence that the Swiss are the world's watchmakers. Which came first, the precise clocks and watches or the precise people? Hard to say, but the result is the same: a nation where the trains and everything else really do run on time.How to explain this punctuality? No one knows for sure. But a popular theory is that, historically, it arises from the tough, mountainous area. Either you planted your crops on time andharvested them at the correct time or, well, you starved.Punctuality, sadly, is a dying art in many parts of the world. Mobile phones are partly to blame. We feel less compelled(紧迫的)to arrive on time if we can always text to say we're running a few minutes late. I don't sense that is happening in Switzerland, though.Punctuality is not without its weaknesses. Extreme punctuality also creates an expectation, and if that expectation is not met, disappointment follows. On those rare occasions when things do not function smoothly, the Swiss get nervous, confused and angry.24.What's NOT the author's attitude towards the Swiss punctuality?A.Pleasant.B.Exhausted.C.Annoyed.D.Appreciated.25.What do the Swiss people want to show by arriving on time?A.To show their respect for other people.B.To show that they have the best watches.C.To show that they are considerate persons.D.To show that they are the best watchmakers in the world.26.The passage is probably taken from a .A.A history bookB.A business newspaperC.A cultural guidebookD.An economic magazineCA contest organised by Airbnb is offering three lucky winners the chance to spend a night in the company of sharks. The winners and their guests will get access to a transparent(透明的)glass bedroom in the 33-foot deep Paris Aquarium where 35 sharks are living.Interested applicants, who must be 18 years or older and in good health, can apply for the contest through the Airbnb website. "On the 11th,12th,and 13th of April, the Paris Aquarium will open its doors for a night in a room full of sharks," the website states. "And not just any room: you will sleep in a round bed, with a breathtaking view of the world of sharks."The unusual event will be hosted by a free diver, photographer, and shark enthusiast Fred Buyle, and a biologist will provide the winners with a special course on sharks-their mysterious lives and their role in the ocean's ecosystem, with which the winners can better understand the sharks and thus avoid disturbing their life in the aquarium when they stay there.Upon arrival, the winners will first be taken to their room for presentations, followed by dinner at the shark tunnel and a night stay among the sharks. A twin bed, soap, toilet paper, andshampoo are all included in the package, as well as breakfast the next morning. The stay is completely free, and so is the travel arrangement to and from Paris.Applications must also include a message addressed to the judges. In 50 to 500 characters, applicants must explain why they're the perfect candidate for the event. The choices of languages include English, German, Spanish, French, Italian and Portuguese. In case of Chinese, Japanese and Korean, the word limit is between 50 and 300. Remember that other languages are not allowed. Of course, an Airbnb account is a must requirement for every applicant.If selected, the winners will be forbidden from diving or swimming in the aquarium, and will be required to keep their hands and feet indoors at all times. Photographing is not allowed because sharks are sensitive to light. Besides, the organisers advise against watching movies like Jaws before checking in.27.What will the three winners of the contest be allowed to do?A.Swim along with some sharks.B.Play with sharks for two days.C.View how sharks sleep at night.D.Sleep in a room surrounded by sharks.28.What's the purpose of the special course in Paragraph 3?A.To help the winners develop an interest in sharks.B.To guide the winners how to live in the aquarium.C.To tell the winners about the ecosystem in the ocean.D.To help the winners learn how not to disturb the sharks.29.When people apply for the contest,they don't need to .A.open an account on the Airbnb websiteB.apply for the contest through the Airbnb websiteC.write a message in one of the required languagesD.pay the application fee along with the applying letter30.What can be inferred from the last paragraph about the winners?A.They can dive in the aquarium.B.They can take photos of the sharks.C.They must stay indoors at all times.D.They must watch movies about sharks before checking in.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。

2017年镇海中学高三模拟考英语卷和答案(最后一卷)DTerraCycle does this by first breaking them down into separate parts. They mix the remaining materials, such as the tobacco and the paper, with other kinds of rubbish, and use it on non-agricultural land, such as golf courses. The filters (过滤嘴) are a little harder.To recycle these, TerraCycle first makes them clean and cuts them into small pieces, and then combines them with other recycled materials, making them into liquid for industrial plastic products.They’re now also expanding their recycling offerings to the rest of the 80 percent of household waste that currently can’t be recycled, such as chocolate packaging, pens, and mobile phones. The goal is to use the latest research to find a way to stop so much waste ending up in landfill (垃圾填埋), and then get companies to provide money for the process.And so far, it’s working.1.What does TerraCycle intend to do?A. Search for recyclable materials for use.B. Deal with as many cigarette ends as possible.C. Produce new kinds of industrial plastic products.D. Recycle what used to be considered unrecyclable.2.The underlined word “trash” in Paragraph 2 probably means ______.A. rubbishB. poisonC. disasterD. ruin3.What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?A. The effective use of cigarette ends.B. The process of recycling cigarette ends.C. The difficulty in recycling cigarette ends.D. The reason for breaking down cigarette ends.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的最佳选项。

AFrom McDonald’s to Sonic, fast food had a bad effect on my waistline and my budget. It was nothing to run to a drive-through to pick up a cold drink or a quick bite to eat. It was so easy to use my card for a small purchase. For me, I got a lot of satisfaction from fast food.One day I sat down and calculated that I was spending a surprising $40 a week on fast food. This was a lot of iced coffee and hamburgers! Instead of reducing my guilty pleasures, I decided to give myself a strong budget to reduce my consumption. Every Monday I placed an envelope with $20 in my purse. That was my fast food budget for the entire week. If there was anything left over at the end of the week, it was mine to save or spend. If I spent all of the money during the week, there were no more fast food stops that week.The budget made me more mindful of my purchases. Instead of purchasing a large drink from Sonic, I would purchase a small. It was still satisfying but not nearly as pricey. Instead of eating a whole meal, I would pick the part that I actually wanted. Many days, the thought of hanging onto the money for a special purpose meant more to me than the instant satisfaction of fast food. I never really felt unhappy because it was a conscious choice to spend or save with each purchase.Envelope budget kept me honest. I had a clear idea how much money was spent each week on fast food purchases. I started to bring my lunches more often to save more money for the week. It was a fun challenge to see how much I could save every week.Changing the way I spent on fast food not only helped my budget, but improved my weight. In the first month I was able to get rid of 5 pounds by simply changing the way I approached spending on fast food. Now I am more likely to bring my lunch than to buy it. I am not upset, but empowered to make positive choices to improve my life.21.According to Paragraph 1, the author ______.A. had no time to cook for herselfB. was fond of fast food very muchC. lived with a small amount of moneyD. got some benefits from using her card22.The author set her envelope budget to______.A. buy fast food at a good bargainB. save money to buy more fast foodC. make fast food spending under controlD. get rid of the habit of eating fast food23.What is the passage mainly about?A.

Why are some things funny to some people and not to others? How is that while a successful joke can cause pleasure, a sick one can cause serious harm?Over the centuries, various scholars have attempted to produce a universally agreed-upon theory of humor. Plato and Aristotle introduced the superiority theory, the idea that people laugh at the misfortune of others. Their theory seems to explain teasing, but it doesn’t work well for knock-knock jokes. Sigmund Freud argued for his relief theory, the concept that humor is a way for people to release psychological tension and reveal their inner fears and desires. His theory works well for dirty jokes, less well for most puns.The majority of humor experts today agree with the incongruity theory, the idea that humor arises when there’s a gap between what people expect to happen and what actually happens. Incongruity has a lot going for it — jokes with unexpected funny lines, for example, fit well. But scientists have found that in comedy, unexpectedness is overvalued.With the goal of developing a new, more satisfactory explanation, I produced “the gentle violation theory”, the idea that humor arises when something seems wrong or threatening, but is actually OK or safe. A dirty joke, for example, trades on moral or social violations, but it’s only going to get a laugh if the person listening is open enough to consider the subject OK to talk about. Similarly, puns can be seen as linguistic violations that still make grammatical sense.And while most humor theories have struggled to account for tickling (挠痒痒), or just avoided the phenomenon altogether, my theory accounts for even this kind of laughter. Tickling involves violating someone’s physical space in a gentle way. People can’t tickle themselves —because it isn’ta violation.24.What is the author’s attitude towards Plato and Aristotle’s theory?A. Critical.B. ApprovingC. uncaringD. Unclear25.According to Sigmund Freud’s theory, we can infer that __________.A. people will laugh when they see others sufferB. telling dirty jokes is a relief of on e’s nervous feelingsC. unexpectedness can explain how humor worksD. tickling doesn’t involve psychological tension26.According to the author, why are some things funny to some people but not toothers?A. Because the sense of humor varies greatly from person to person.B. Because people have different expectations for the same thing.C. Because some people lack the sense of safety deep in their heart.D. Because people’s understanding of violation is different.27.What is the author’s main purpose of writin g this passage?A. To draw people’s attention to the research of humor.B. To criticize people’s misconceptions about humor.C. To explain what exactly causes people to laugh.D. To prove the sense of humor can be developed.CCigarette ends are everywhere—littering our streets and beaches—and for decades they’ve been thought of as “unrecyclable”. But a New Jersey based company, called TerraCycle, has taken on the challenge, and has come up with a way to recycle millions of cigarette ends and turn them into industrial plastic products. Its aim is to recycle things that people normally consider impossible to reuse.Obviously it would be even better for the environment if everyone just stopped smoking, but the statistics show that although there has been an increase in anti-smoking ads and messaging, between 2000 and 2014, global sales of cigarettes increased by 8 percent, and a whole lot of those cigarette ends are ending up as trash. Since most of our litter eventually ends up in waterways, cigarette ends can surely pollute the surrounding environment. “It only takes a single cigarette end to pollute a liter of water,” TerraCycle founder, Tom Szaky, said. “Animals can also mistake littered cigarette ends for food.”So how do you go about turning all those poisonous ends into something useful? TerraCycle does this by first breaking them down into separate parts. They mix the remaining materials, such as the tobacco and the paper, with other kinds of rubbish, and use it on non-agricultural land, such as golf courses. The filters (过滤嘴) are a little harder. To recycle these, TerraCycle first makes themclean and cuts them into small pieces, and then combines them with other recycled materials, making them into liquid for industrial plastic products.They’re now also expanding their recycling offerings to the rest of the 80 percent of household waste that currently can’t be recycled, such as chocolate packaging, pens, and mobile phones. The goal is to use the latest research to find a way to stop so much waste ending up in landfill (垃圾填埋), and then get companies to provide money for the process. And so far, it’s working.28.What does TerraCycle intend to do?A. Search for recyclable materials for use.B. Deal with as many cigarette ends as possible.C. Produce new kinds of industrial plastic products.D. Recycle what used to be considered unrecyclable.29.The underlined word “trash” in Paragraph 2 probably means ______.A. rubbishB. poisonC. disasterD. ruin30.What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?A. The effective use of cigarette ends.B. The process of recycling cigarette ends.C. The difficulty in recycling cigarette ends.D. The reason for breaking down cigarette ends.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的最佳选项。
