2017-2018学年高考英语总复习模拟题一第二部分阅读理解（共20题，每题2分，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。

AAll you have is what you bring with youI’ve always felt a need to be prepared for whatever situation I’ve found myself in.My mother once took me to a store when I was seven years old. She and I got to the checkout counter, and she realized she had forgotten a couple of things on her shopping list. She left me with the cart and ran off to get what she needed.“I’ll be right back.” she said.She was gone just a few minutes, but in that time, I had loaded all the things on the belt and everything was rung up. I was left staring at the cashier, who was staring at me. “Do you have money for me, son?” she said. “I’ll need to be paid.”I didn’t realize she was just trying to amuse herself. So I stood there, ashamed and embarrassed.By the time my mom returned, I was angry. “You left me here with no money! This lady asked me for the money, and I had nothing to give her.”Now that I’m an adult, you’ll never catch me with less than $200 in my wallet. I want to be prepared in case I need it.I’ve always admired people who are over-prepared. In college, I had a classmate named Norman. One day he was giving a presentation on an overhead projector and in the middle of his talk, the light bulb on the projector blew out. We would have to wait ten minutes until someone found a new projector.“It’s Okay.” he announced. “There’s nothing to worry about.”We watched him walk over to his bag and pull something out. He had brought along a spare bulb for the overhead projector. Who could even think of that?I often told my students, “When you go into the wilderness, the only thing you can depend on is what you take with you.” And essentially, the wilderness i s anywhere but your home or office. So take money. Pack a light bulb. Be prepared.21. Why did the cashier ask a seven-year-old boy to pay for the purchases?A. The boy was shopping by himself.B. The boy’s mother asked her to do so.C. The cashier was playing a joke on him.D. The boy’s mother was away for something else.22. Why did Norman bring a spare bulb with him?A. He was always well-prepared.B. His presentation was about bulbs.C. He knew the classroom equipment was of poor quality.D. He predicted the bulb on the projector would blow out.23. What do the two stories tell us?A. Accidents happen almost every day.B. Money is the key that opens all doors.C. In fair weather, prepare for a rainy day.D. Chances favor those who are well-prepared.B“Oh, my God! Did I really just send that text?” Most people have said something that they wish they could take back. And if they had paused to think about it first, they probably would have acted differently. Pausing doesn’t pay off just whe n you speak. Scientific studies have shown that making a habit of pausing before you do something can actually have a big impact on how your life turns out.In making decisions we rely on two areas of the brain. One area creates and processes emotions; the other governs logical thought. The type of decision, how we feel about it, and how prepared we are to handle it help determine which brain area has the most influence.But our age also plays an important role. Thinking through the consequences of one’s actions is actually harder for teens because the area controlling logical thought is not fullydeveloped until around age 25. This is why teens often feel an intense emotional drive to act impulsively—it’s how their brains are structured! Though this tenden cy to act without considering the outcomes can lead to problematic situations, impulsivity during the developmental years evolves because it makes teens more open to new experiences and ideas. This openness helps teens become independent adults.The key to making impulsivity work for you—instead of against you—is to train your brain by practicing pausing. This doesn’t mean you stop taking risks or being open to new experiences. But you won’t know if the risk is worth it until you think it through. Deciding to take a risk based on logic shows self-control, not impulsivity.What are different ways to pause? You might take a deep breath, count to 10, or ask, “Is this worth it?” Different strategies work for different people. Whatever works for you, keep doing it! By practicing pausing, you can actually change your brain. This means that over time, pausing, instead of immediately reacting, becomes your “natural” response. And with this change, people are on their way to enjoying the life rewards that come with high levels of self-control——even if they weren’t natural-born pausers!24. What challenges teenagers?A. Giving natural response.B. Making logical decisions.C. Acting before thorough thinking.D. Choosing brain-training strategies.25. An impulsive person tends to _________.A. think through a risk in advanceB. show high level of self-controlC. consider or accept new ideasD. change ideas frequently26. According to the passage, by training one’s brain, one can _________.A. stop taking risksB. fully develop one’s brainC. become more open to new experienceD. reduce the influence of emotional drive27. What is the best title for the passage?A. Discover the Brain FunctionB. Crying Over the Spilt MilkC. Push the Pause ButtonD.

Despite the progress that has been made in genetics and psychology, human intelligence has remained one of the most controversial areas of modern science until now and the discovery of a gene linked to intelligence has made the experts think again.Robert Plomin of the Institute of Psychiatry in London and his colleagues in the US have been looking into genetic make-up. From their research, they have discovered that a slightly different gene is more common in those with a high IQ. Plomin analyzed DNA from two groups of 51 children aged between 6 and 15. What he found was that the first group had an IQ of 136, putting them in the top 5% of the population, while the other group had an average IQ of 103. An analysis of their genes showed that 32% of children in the higher group had the gene in question, while only 16% in the second group did. However, there is a lot more research to be done and Plomin himself is cautious at this early stage. He suggests that thereare probably many genes that contribute to intelligence, rather than just one.Several studies have shown a strong link between IQ and career success, although some psychologists remain unconvinced about this. Professor Michael Rowe, who has written a book called Genius Explained, is one of these. “The people with the highest IQ s are not usually the ones who do best in their careers.”Many psychologists now believe that when it comes to intelligence, IQ isn’t everything. Many alternative views have been put forward recently. One example is the idea of multiple intelligences, which was developed in the 1980s by Harvard psychologist Howard Gardner. This offers a much broader view than the IQ theory, including creativity and communication skills as relevant factors in intelligence.Tony Buzan is enthusiastic about this belief, arguing that true geniuses do indeed appear to combine high levels of each type of intelligence. He lists Alexander the Great, Pablo Picasso and Albert Einstein as examples. At the same time, Buzan believes that everyone can develop their intelligence, only if t hey take the trouble to exercise their brain. Perhaps there’s hope for us all!32. What does the underlined word “This” in Paragraph 4 refer to?A. The development of intelligenceB. The idea of multiple intelligencesC. IQ isn’t everything for intelli genceD. Alternative views have been put forward33. Why does the author use data in Paragraph 2?A. To make a suggestion.B. To draw a conclusion.C. To prove an idea.D. To give an example.34. What can we learn from the passage?A. Robert Plomin confirms genes have something in common.B. Howard Gardner thinks intelligence includes various factors.C. Michael Rowe approves of a strong link between IQ and career.D. Tony Buzan agrees geniuses exercise brain to improve intelligence.35. What might be the best title of the passage?A. The relationship between genes and intelligenceB. IQ benefits a lot from high intelligenceC. How to develop intelligenceD. What makes intelligence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。

I chose December 15 as the starting date, which marked three years since my mother died from heart disease. She was one of the most generous people that I have ever known. She always thought of others first and certainly serves as an inspiration to me.I had a rather busy day yesterday, ironic (具有讽刺意义的) for someone who is unemployed right now. In the morning I went to the gym, and unsuccessfully got the phone call from the unemployment office for some job searching. Before I knew it, it was noon. I grabbed a quick lunch and rushed down to a meeting. On my way to Connecticut, I wondered if I would see someone that I would feel forced to give my first $ 10 to.I was running late and decided to do it afterwards.After the meeting I had about half an hour to find the first person of my Year of Giving! I decided to check out DuPont Circle. I had meta guy there named Jerry once and thought he would willingly accept my $ 10. He wasn’t there, but I did see a man sitting by himself who looked really lonely, so I approached him. Now I had to figure out what I was going to say. I think I said something like, “Hi, can I sit down here?” “I would like to know if I could give you $ 10?” He asked me to repeat what I had said, I did; then he looked at me funny, got up and left.I then started walking south where I spotted a man standing by the bus stop on Connecticut Ave. He appeared to be in his 60s. I don’t know what drew me to him, but I thought I would make my second attempt. I was a bit nervous and asked him which bus came by that stop. Then I explained that I was starting a year-long project to give $ 10 to someone every day and that I wanted to give my $ 10 for today to him. The gentleman, I later found out that his name was Ed, responded without hesitation that he could not accept my offer and that there were many people more deserving the money than him. This was exactly one of the things that I hoped would happen. People would think of others before themselves.4. The author set the starting date on December 15 to ____.A. help the charityB. honor his motherC. make an explorationD. fulfill a wish for his mum5. In the author’s first attempt to give away the money, ____.A. he was considered ridiculousB. he hesitated for a long timeC. he was forced to donate the moneyD. he had no time to take action6. In the author’s second attempt, the gentleman refused his offer because ____.A. he didn’t need other’s helpB. he thought more for othersC. he didn’t care about moneyD. he wanted to get more money7. We can refer that the author was inspired by ____.A. true friendshipB. his own kindnessC. generous donationsD. human’s good natureCOn the banks of Tanzania’s Lake Eyasi lives the world’s last hunter-gatherer tribe (部落) —the Hadza. They don’t grow food, raise animals or build houses. Instead they live a life unchanged for more than ten thousand years.Their world is one of complete freedom — something modern society can barely imagine and is unlikely to ever experience, let alone have the skills to stay alive. Text messa ges and phone calls don’t exist. Nor do cars and electricity. No jobs, timetables, and social structures.No laws, taxes and unbelievably, no money —the closest thing to currency (交易，流通) is the trade for a pair of shorts with a neighboring tribe.We spent our time with the Hadza hunting baboons (狒狒), a daily activity for the men. Their land is packed with sharp bushes, poisonous snakes and man-eating lions. But a successful hunting trip is the difference between eating or going hungry.The Hadza diet consists mainly of honey, fruit and meat. Men often hunt in pairs to shoot animals with bows and arrows. The Hadza show us how to track animals, from baboons to snakes to lions. They are hugely skilled with their handmade bows and arrows — we have a go and barely get the arrow to go three feet in front of us.The language of the Hadza is believed to be the oldest still-spoken language known to man. The Hadza don’t have conflict, and h ave no memory of starvation. Their population never reaches numbers that cannot be supported through hunting or gathering. They never get from their land more than they need.Unlike modern-day office workers, the Hadza enjoy an extraordinary amount of free time. Their “work” —hunting for food —takes up around five hours of their day. They’ve been in such a state of peaceful existence for thousands of years.8. We can learn from the text that the Hadza_______.A. lead a very primitive (原始) lifeB. live on traditional agricultureC. have their own system of currency（流通）D. show a lot of interest in new technology9. Which of the following can describe the Hadza’s environment?A. Stressful.B. Comfortable.C. Exciting.D. Dangerous.10. The relationship between the Hadza and nature_______.A. is going wrongB. is full of conflictC. is in perfect harmonyD. is changing all the time11. Why does the author come to visit the Hadza?A. To study their native language.B. To get to know their way of life.C. To learn survival skills from them.D. To persuade them to protect animals.DChildren are hooked on computers. Some spend up to six hours a day on their gadgets. They can be playing games live with others elsewhere in the world, updating their status on social media, texting friends or looking for the latest app to download to their tablets or smart phones.This worried Martin Strott, headmaster of the Old Hall School in Wellington, in the west of England. He was so concerned that he challenged his students to take part in a week of ‘digital detox’. Strott told the local newspaper, the Shropshire Star, that he encourages the pupils to have a good knowledge of the computer from a young age, but is concerned that too much screen time will affect the development of their social skills. He said that this over-reliance on digital devices “erodes family time and they’re missing out on messages from body langu age and facial expressions from those around them”.According to the headmaster, the parents are happy with the movement. But what about the children? Nine-year-old Fred usually spends around two hours on his gadgets at home after school and around 12 hours on weekends. For him, the digital detox experience was “really hard”. Fred spent it playing outside, especially basketball. He said that he’ll probably engage in different activities from now on but he did miss his phone and online games.The idea of keeping children away from their tech for a while to prevent ‘addiction’ is not particularly new. There have been similar movements in the US. But are they effective in the long run? Well, even if kids go back to their gadgets, the hope is that at l east they’ll think about how they use their time.What about you: do you spend too many hours hooked on your digital devices?12. According to the passage, which of the following is not the reason why children are hooked on computers __________.A. developing their social skills by having some onlineconversations.B. searching for the newest app and install them to their tabletsor smart phones.C. playing games live with people from other placesD. releasing some new information about their status on socialmedia13. Which of the following words can replace the word “erodes” in Para 2?A. enrichesB. savesC. adjustsD. ruins14. According to the article, where else can you find digital detox movements?A. In Asian countriesB. In the USC. In JapanD. In China15. Why did the headmaster challenge his students to take part in digital detox?A. Because he wanted to encourage his students to have a goodknowledge of computer.B. Because he wanted them to learn more about body language andfacial expressions.C. Because he hoped to transfer children’s attention to somethingmeaningful.D. Because he was pushed by many worried parents.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。

AIf you have a bad habit of losing things, a new device that can be connected to any item that you might lose may be the way to solve your problem. The Tile, a small square linked up to your iPhone or iPad via Bluetooth, lets you see how close you are to the missing item, within a 50-to 150-foot range . If the item goe s out of your phone’s 150-foot range, it can still be detected (发现) on other smartphones with the same app.When you log into the app on your phone, it shows you, with green bars that increase or decrease, how far away you are from the Tile. You can also program it to make a sound when you get close to the Tile. And you can link up your phone with up to ten Tiles. And if your lost item — a dog, for example, or a stolen bike —goes out of your own phone’s 150-foot Bluetooth range, youcan set it as a “lost item”. If any of the phones with the Tile app comes within the range of your lost item, a message will be sent to your own phone, reminding you of its position. The Tile app also has the function to remember where it last saw your Tile, so that you can easily find where you left it.Since the Tiles use Bluetooth rather than GPS, they never run out of battery or need to be charged, and they last for one year before needing to be replaced. The app, which will come into the market this winter, works with iPhone 5S, iPhone 6, iPad Mini, iPad 3rd and 4th generation, and iPod 5th generation.1. The Tile app can help you .A. find your missing itemsB. use your phone more wiselyC. save your phone’s battery powerD. connect something to your phone2. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. The Tile needs to be charged after a year of use.B. One smartphone can only be linked up to one Tile.C. The Tile cannot work when linked up to a phone without Bluetooth.D. A missing item can’t be found if it goes out of the needed range.3. What does the second paragraph mainly tell us?A. What the Tile app is.B. How the Tile app works.C. The advantages of the Tile app.D. Why the Tile app was invented.4. Where does this passage probably come from?A. A science fiction novel.B. An advertisement.C. A personal diary.D. A news report.BThe island of Port Cros is in the south of France. I first visitedit about ten years ago with my wife. I had read that it was a magical place and it seemed fascinating (迷人的), but I couldn’t believe that it was true. In fact, it was much more magical than the tourist brochures (指南) had said.The island is mountainous and covered in trees. The water around the island is transparent like glass. When I first visited it, there was mist rising from the trees. The little harbor looked mysterious and remote: tall palm trees, a few shops and restaurants, no cars, motorcycles or bikes.It is not by chance that the island has kept its natural beauty. Once, it was privately owned and the owners always wanted to keep it in its natural state. In 1963, Port Cros became a national park. The park directors made some rules to protect the island.

Though bids (出价) above the initial asking price of 1 million dollars had been coming in gradually since the copy was placed on the auction site (拍卖网站) eBay on July 14th, things really started to heat up during the final minutes when the price jumped from $2.5 to $2.6 and then $2.7 million, before shooting up to unbelievable 3,207,852 dollars!This of course was no ordinary Superman comic book, but an edition of the extremely sought-after (很吃香地) No. 1 of Action Comics series — the first publication of the superhero that was born from the creative minds of teenagers Joe Shuster and Jerry Siegel. Though Action Comics No. 1, which depicted a diaper-clad baby Superman lifting furniture, had a print run of 200,000 copies, only about 100 are known to exist today.While the rarity is certainly a reason for the high price, Stephen Fisher, CEO of , thinks it also has a lot to do with the fact that Superman was the world’s first superhero! Even so, none of the copies have been able to fetch (售得) as much as the most recent one, simply because they have not been as well-preserved. Graded a rare 9 out of 10 by CGC, a third party grading service for comic books, the book is the highest rated copy of Action Comics No. 1 so far. According to CGC officials, the 76-year-old comic book looks and feels as though it has just come off the newsstand (报摊).That is not surprising given that the original owner, a Virginian man who bought the book for only 10 cents in 1938, had carefully tucked it away (藏起来) in a wooden box for four decades. Fortunately, when he passed away, the book was bought by a string of collectors who all realized it was a rare treasure that needed to be looked after.Before this, the highest price paid for an Action Comics No.1 had been $2 million for a copy sold by Hollywood actor Nicholas Cage in 2011. Ironically, the two teenagers responsible for creating Superman received just 130 dollars when they sold the rights to the superhero to comic book publisher Detective Comics in 1938.12. When the Superman comic book was placed on eBay on July 14th, .A. it attracted no attention at allB. things started to heat up immediatelyC. the bid price didn’t go up very quickly at firstD. people thought it was worth millions of dollars13. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?A. Why the comic book is well-preserved.B. Why the comic book is well worth reading.C. Why the comic book is worth so much money.D. Why the comic book has drawn so much attention.14. When the other collectors got the comic book after the Virginian man, they .A. all took very good care of itB. all liked reading it very muchC. didn’t believe it was worth a fortuneD. all kept it in the same way as that man15. What do we know about the creators of Superman?A. They didn’t want to sell the rights to a comic bookpublisher.B. They knew all along Superman would be the most successful comic book.C. They were professional comic book writers when they created Superman.D. They didn’t make much money from creati ng Superman.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。

To encourage more outdoor activities.BTo personal trainer Sammy Callari, 13-year-old Parker Seward is more than a client (客户). He's his "little brother". Over the past year, the pair have bonded. They play basketball together, share meals and dance to hip-hop like no one‘s watching.The trainer was asked to work with the 13-year-old boy, who has Down syndrome (唐氏症), because his coworker who dealt with the boy was out of town last spring. Callari had never worked with someone with a disability before. He was anxious the first day he met Parker. But Parker’s big smile and cheery introduction immediately put him at ease. He reminded Callari of himself when he was a teenager. Like Parker, Callari has also faced his fair share of challenges over the years.As a high schooler, Callari described himself as being the weak kid. When it came to sports, he was always overlooked. His dream of playing baseball in college quickly faded away. When he went to college, Callari turned to a new sport. His younger brothertrained him to become a boxer. Callari participated in five matches. Out of four of those fights he was the underdog, and he won three times. "I know how it feels, "Callari said. "Society tells you that you can't do this, you can’t do that. "When it comes to Parker, Callari refuses to accept the word “can't”The friends meet twice a week to train. They bike, box, run and work on their core with push-ups. Parker has a short attention span, so it's callari's job to keep him focused. "If Parker can do it, if he's having fun, even with his frustration, then people will ask, ‘Why can't I do that?” Callari said. “That's the whole task right now.”Callari recalls parker's mom once thanking him for taking a "chance" on her son. Callari told her he never viewed it that way. Parker may be the student, but Callari says he's also the one who's learning24. Why was Callari asked to train Parker?A. They shared the same interests.B Parkers parents had faith in Callari.C. Callari took place of his absent colleague,D Callari was an expert in Down syndrome25. What can we learn about Callari when he was in high school?A. He was good at sports.B. He was out of condition.C. He was looked down upon by everyoneD. He was influenced deeply by his brother26. What attitude does Callari have to Parker?A. Grateful B Sympathetic. C. Cautious D. Critical27. What is the text mainly about?A. An inspiring story of a disabled boyB. A high schooler suffering lots of failure.C. The friendship between a disabled boy and his personal trainerD. Ways of developing friendship with the boy with Down syndromeCBeing mistreated at work can make people take out their negative emotions on loved ones at home. But a new study suggests that getting more exercise and sleep may help people better cope with them by leaving them at work, where they belong.Previous research shows that employees who are looked down on or insulted by colleagues are likely to express their frustrations and behave angrily toward people outside of work, says study co-author Shannon Taylor, a management professor at the University of Central Florida's College of Business.The new study backs up this idea, but offers a bit of good news as well: Employees who averaged more than 10, 500 steps a day or burned at least 2, 100 calories were less likely to mistreat their cohabitants than those who averaged fewer steps or burned fewer calories.The findings also revealed that when employees felt they had a bad night's sleep because of work issues, they were more likely to be grouchy at home. "When you're tired, you are either less able or less motivated to regulate yourself." says co-author Larissa Barber, a professor of psychology at Northern Illinois University.Physical activity seems to counterbalance poor sleep, Barber says, because it promotes healthy brain functions needed to properly regulate emotions and behaviors. "This study suggests that high amounts of exercise can be at least one way to improve the situations brought by sleep troubles that lead to negative behaviors at home, "she says.Barber acknowledges that finding time to work out and get a full night’s sleep can be difficult when work pressure is mounting, and that often, job stress can be directly related to sleep quality. But, she says, making the effort to burn some extra calories and blow off some steam can be worth it. It's not only good for you, says Taylor, but it can benefit the people live with.28. What does the underlined word "they" in Paragraph 1 refer to?A. Loved people at home B Negative emotions.C. Different work pressures. D More exercise and sleep29. Who will most probably behave angrily to family members?A. A person who is easy to get tired.B. A person who often goes to the gym to work outC. A person who is always treated badly by coworkers.D A person who often argues with colleagues30. The underlined word "counterbalance" in Paragraph 5 is doesn’t in meaning toA. make use ofB. take control ofC. keep up with D make up for31. What can we learn from the text?A. Work pressure makes no difference in sleep quality.B. How to burn more calories has become a major issue for workers.C Enough exercise can replace good sleep in dealing with negative behaviors.D. The amount of calories employees burn affects the frequency of losing temper.DGoogle, one of the world's outstanding tech companies, was attacked. It wasn’t its search engine that was attacked or its advertising platform or even its social network, Google+. Instead, it was a building.Two web security experts hacked (侵入) into its Wharf 7 office in Sydney, Australia through Googles building management system (BMS). One of them, Billy Rios, says, My colleague and I have a lot of experience in web security, but it is not something that people couldn't learn. Once you understand how the system works，it is very simple.”They found the system on Shodan, a search engine that lists devices connected to the Internet, and then ran it through their own software to identify who owned the building. In the case of the Google hacking, the researchers had no immoral purpose and just informed Google about what they found.According to Mr. Rios, who runs security company Whitescope, there are 50,000 buildings currently connected to the Internet, including research institutes, churches and hospitals, and 2, 000 of those are online with no password protection. Martyn Thomas, a professor of IT at Gresham College in the UK, says, "It is beyond doubt that attempts to attack building management systems are happening all thetime.”Making a building smart generally means connecting the systems that control heating, lighting and security to the Internet and the wider corporate network. There was a strong reason for doing this, said Andrew Kelly, principal security consultant at defence company Qinetiq.Energy savings are the biggest factor in connecting building management systems to the corporate network, he says. "It gives those who run the building better control and offers between 20% to 50% in energy savings, "he adds.But it also makes them less secure. And if any of these feels like a Hollywood film, think again.32. How did Billy Rios and his colleague hack Googles building?A. They invented a search engine and connected it to Googles building.B. They worked for Google and mastered how the building worked.C. They used Google's BMS to find out the owner of the building.D. They connected their own software to the building to run Google.33. In the case of the Google hacking, the researchers had the intention ofA analyzing some immoral problemsB. explaining the reasons for energy savingsC. entering Google's building to save more energyD. telling Google about the Wharf 7 office's hidden danger34. What's the main idea of Paragraph 4?A. There are many researchers contributing a lot to web securityB. The building management systems of some buildings are in danger.C. The attack on building management systems happens all over the world.D. There are too many buildings connected to the Internet to be managed well35. What is the author’s at titude towards the way of the energy savings of some buildings?A. Negative. B Ambiguous C. Indifferent D Favorable.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。

Their kids will learn how to enjoy themselves.D. Their kids will master many life skills.23.How much will you pay if you want to book three kids for two weeks?A.£881.B.£924.C.£1,057.D.£1,203BFour years ago, Chris Nagele did what many other technology executives have done before —he moved his team into an open concept office.His staff had been exclusively working from home, but he wanted everyone to be together, to bond and collaborate more easily. It quickly became clear, though, that Nagele had made a huge mistake. Everyone was distracted, productivity suffered and the nine employees were unhappy, not to mention Nagele himself.In April 2015, about three years after moving into the open office, Nagele moved the company into a 10,000-square foot office where everyone now has their own space —complete with closing doors.Numerous companies have embraced the open office —about 70% of US offices are open concept —and by most accounts, very few have moved back into traditional spaces with offices and doors. But research that we’re 15% less productive, we have immense trouble concentrating and we’retwice as likely to get sick in open working spaces, has contributed to a growing backlash against open offices.Since moving, Nagele himself has heard from others in technology who say they long for the closed office lifestyle. It’s unlikely that the open office concept will go away anytime soon, but some companies are following Nagele’s examp le and making a return to private spaces.There’s one big reason we’d all love a space with four walls and a door that shuts: focus. The truth is, we can’t multitask and small distractions can cause us to lose focus for upwards of 20 minutes.What’s more, certain open spaces can negatively impact our memory. We retain more information when we sit in one spot, says Sally Augustin, an environmental and design psychologist in La Grange Park, Illinois. It’s not so obvious to us each day, but we offload memories— often little details — into our surroundings, she says.Beside the cheaper cost, one main argument for the open workspace is that it increases collaboration. However, it’s well documented that we rarely brainstorm brilliant ideas when we’re just shootin g the breeze in a crowd.24.What does the writer imply according to Paragraph 2:A. Nagele felt delighted with open concept officeB. Nagele felt unsatisfied with open concept officeC. Nagele felt puzzled about open concept officeD. Nagele felt curious about open concept office25. What does the underlined words “have embraced” in Paragraph 4 mean?A. have dislikedB. have neededC. have acceptedD. have misunderstood26. Which one is true according to the passage?A. It is hard to concentrate in open offices.B. The minority of US companies choose open offices.C. Open offices benefit people’s memory a lot.D. Traditional offices can increase teamwork.27. What is the best title for the text?A. The advantages of traditional officesB. The disadvantages of traditional officesC. The drawbacks of open officesD. The benefits of open officesCWhen it comes to carbon emissions, certain unhealthy snacks may carry an unexpected blessing compared to healthier choices.As humankind faces the threat of global warming, we are becoming increasingly aware that our every indulgence(享受) will leave its mark on the environment. This is particularly true of the food we put in our mouths.Farming, production in factories and transport of goods are all largely powered by the burning of fossil fuels, generating greenhouse gases. Scientists measure this impact as a “carbon footprint”, commonly expressed as the volume of carbon dioxide produced per 100g serving of food.With this, it is possible to create a food pyramid based on the harm each snack and delicacy(美味) does to the environment. Meat and dairy products lie at the bottom, causing the greatest damage, while fruit and vegetables are the most environmentally friendly at the top. Grain-based foods like bread and noodles, and candies lie roughly in the middle.This approach, however, doesn’t consider how much energy our bodies get from those foods. You need to eat a far greater weight of lettuce(生菜) to get the same number of calories as a piece of bacon, for instance-with one study finding that it would release three times as many greenhouses to provide the same nutritional energy. Processed vegetables, or those imported from distant farms, may fare even worse.In a paper in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, Adam Drewnowski tried to take this into account by estimating(估计) the carbon emissions for every 100calories of different foods.Viewed in this way, the pyramid turns upside down. Now, cake or chocolate has a carbon footprint that is about a tenth of the environmental impact of tinned or frozen vegetables, for instance. Meat tends to produce about half the carbon emissions of eggs.This shouldn’t be seen as a green card to indulge you r sweet tooth-lots of evidence shows the excessive consumption of sugar leads to all kinds of health problems, including diabetes and heart disease. And local fresh vegetables will still be the best option for the environment and your health.28.What can w e learn according to the theory of “carbon footprint”?A.Meat does the greatest harmB.Vegetables does no harm at allC.Noodles do more harm than breadD.Fruit doe more harm than dairy products29.If you get the same number of calories,_____________.A.vegetables will do more harm to your health than meatB.meat will produce more greenhouse gases than vegetablesC.vegetables will produce more greenhouse gases than meatD.vegetables will produce as many greenhouse gases as meat30.The writer gives us a suggestion in the last paragraph___________.A.based on the new approachB.based on the previous studyC.for the benefit of the environmentD.for the benefit of our personal health31.What’s the writer’s purpose of the text?A.To tell readers a factB.To explain a theoryC.To offer a suggestionD.To analyze a phenomenonDThe term “healthy obesity” has gained value over the past 15 years, but scientists have recently questioned its very existence. “Our new findings suggest that health measures may be necessary for all obese（肥胖的）individuals, even those previously considered to be metabolically （代谢的）healthy, "says study first author Mikael, “Since obesity is the major driver changing gene expression in fat cells, we should continue to focus on preventing obesity.”Obesity has been a global problem, affecting approximately 600 million people worldwide and increasing the risk of heart disease, stroke, cancer, and so on. But in the 1970s and 80s, experts began to question the extent to which obesity increases the risk for these disorders. Later studies in the late 90s and early 2000s showed that some obese people show a relatively healthy life.However, there are no accepted measures for measuring metabolically healthy obesity, and whether or not such a thing exists is now up for di scussion. “Our study suggests that the idea of metabolically healthy obesity may be more difficult than thought,” Mikael says, “There doesn’t appear to be a clear line that separates obese subjects with high or low insulin（胰岛素）sensitivity, indicating that obesity is the major driver explaining the changes in gene expression.”One limitation of the study is that it examined gene expression only in white fat cells, not other types. Moreover, all of the obese subjects were scheduled to experience obesity operations, so the findings may only apply to people with severe obesity. In future research, Mikael and his group will track the study patients after surgery to determine whether weight loss normalizes gene expression responses. They will also look for specific genes linked to improved metabolic health in these people.In the meantime, the study has an important take-home message. “Obese people may not be as metabolically healthy as previously believed,” Ryden says.32. What does the underlined phrase “healthy obesity” mean?A. It can be healthy with obesity.B. Obesity is necessary to be healthy.C. Unhealthy people have no obesity.D.
