When I annunced the summer befre my senir year f high schl that I had decided t apply t Harvard, I nticed her hesitant lk befre a warm smile envelped her face.

Nevertheless, I began t wrk n the cllege applicatins-an early ne fr Harvard and rughly a dzen thers standing by. I knew the chance f getting int Harvard was nt in my favr. T my jy, I was infrmed f my acceptance int Harvard three days befre my birthday. That night, after all f the celebratry texts and hugs, I sat in my rm and began t cry uncntrllably.
Over the curse f this year, I have changed in ways I never anticipated. I think I knw nw why my mther let me g. Harvard has frced me t grw and take a fair lk at the wrld, and at myself. Needless t say, I wuld nt trade the experience fr anything.

The arrival f spring has seemingly unchangeable results-lengthening days, blssming plants and a great increase in bees’ activity. But new research finds that many species f birds are nesting and laying eggs nearly a mnth earlier than they did a century ag.
These species, including bluejays, yellw warblers and field sparrws, are nw laying their first eggs 25 days earlier, n average, than they were 100 years ag, the research has fund. The heating f the atmsphere, due t the burning f fssil fuels, is seemingly changing a prcess that lng appeared unshakeable.
The study, published in the Jurnal f Animal Eclgy, drew upn recrds f birds’ eggs gathered during a perid, frm abut 1880 t 1920, when peple culd rampantly (猖獗的) cllect them frm nests withut punishment. These recrds, largely cnsisting f bxes f eggs with hand-written labels describing the type f bird and when the eggs were cllected, were cmpared with mdern nesting data checked by researchers, wh used mirrrs munted n lng ples t bserve high-up nests.
A mdel built by the researchers revealed that birds mving their nesting dates frward has been clsely crrelated with rising carbn dixide levels in the atmsphere, a leading driver f rising glbal temperatures.
Birds chse when t nest in line with ther develpments in spring, such as the budding (發(fā)芽) f plants and the increase in insect numbers. These interactins f nature are being unpicked by climate change — in the US bears are emerging frm hibernatin earlier and cherry, peach, pear, apple and plum trees are blssming weeks earlier than they nce did. In the UK, plants flwered a full mnth earlier between 1987 and 2019 than they did befre 1986, recent research fund.
“If yu’re a bird and yu nest earlier, yu put yurself at risk f these cld snaps (寒流) that can still arrive in spring, which then affects the plants and insects,” said Bates. “That then impacts the reprductive success f the birds. Springs are becming mre vlatile (反復(fù)無常) and that is taking its tll.”

【文章大意】這是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了氣候變遷造成鳥類提前筑巢和下蛋的情況。
1.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中“The heating f the atmsphere, due t the burning f fssil fuels, is seemingly changing a prcess that lng appeared unshakeable.(燃燒化石燃料導(dǎo)致的大氣變暖,似乎正在改變一個(gè)長期以來看似不可動搖的過程)”可知,全球變暖也許導(dǎo)致了這些鳥更早的筑巢和產(chǎn)卵。故選B項(xiàng)。
2.推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段中“These recrds, largely cnsisting f bxes f eggs with hand-written labels describing the type f bird and when the eggs were cllected, were cmpared with mdern nesting data checked by researchers, wh used mirrrs munted n lng ples t bserve high-up nests.(這些記錄主要由一盒雞蛋組成,上面有手寫的標(biāo)簽,描述了鳥類的類型和收集雞蛋的時(shí)間。研究人員將這些記錄與現(xiàn)代筑巢數(shù)據(jù)進(jìn)行了比較,研究人員使用安裝在長桿子上的鏡子來觀察高處的巢穴)”可推知,研究人員通過比較不同時(shí)期的數(shù)據(jù)來得到他們的發(fā)現(xiàn)。故選D項(xiàng)。
3.推理判斷題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中“Birds chse when t nest in line with ther develpments in spring, such as the budding f plants and the increase in insect numbers. These interactins f nature are being unpicked by climate change — in the US bears are emerging frm hibernatin earlier and cherry, peach, pear, apple and plum trees are blssming weeks earlier than they nce did.(鳥類根據(jù)春天的其他情況來選擇筑巢時(shí)間,比如植物發(fā)芽和昆蟲數(shù)量的增加。這些自然界的相互作用正被氣候變化破壞——在美國,熊更早地從冬眠中醒來,櫻桃、桃子、梨、蘋果和李樹的開花時(shí)間比以前提前了幾周)”可推知,后面的熊和植物例子是說明這一點(diǎn)的。故選C項(xiàng)。
4.詞句猜測題。根據(jù)最后一段中““If yu’re a bird and yu nest earlier, yu put yurself at risk f these cld snaps that can still arrive in spring, which then affects the plants and insects,” said Bates. “That then impacts the reprductive success f the birds.(“如果你是一只鳥,提早筑巢,你就會面臨春天仍然可能到來的寒流的風(fēng)險(xiǎn),這會影響植物和昆蟲,”貝茨說?!斑@會影響鳥類的繁殖成功率)”可知,此處講的是造成的影響。由此推知,taking its tll為“造成損失”的意思,與D項(xiàng)Causing lss“造成損失”意思一致。故選D項(xiàng)。

【文章大意】本文為一篇新聞報(bào)道。Diana Glden在12歲時(shí)因患癌癥而失去了一條腿,但這并沒有阻礙她追逐夢想,1982年在挪威成為世界殘疾人錦標(biāo)賽冠軍,1986年,獲得了貝克獎,1988年,被《滑雪賽車》雜志評為年度美國女性滑雪者。她的勇氣和決心改變了人們對殘疾運(yùn)動員的看法。
1.詞句猜測題。根據(jù)劃線詞所在句“Lsing a leg wuld cause mst children t lse cnfidence and hpe, but Diana refused t dwell n the negative. ‘It is nthing. A bdy part.’ she’d say. (失去一條腿會使大多數(shù)孩子失去信心和希望,但戴安娜拒絕dwell n在消極的情緒中?!@沒有關(guān)系。身體的某一部分?!胝f)”可知,大多人會因?yàn)槭チ艘粭l腿而失去信心和希望,劃線詞后的 the negative指代前半句的lse cnfidence and hpe這種負(fù)面心理,根據(jù)轉(zhuǎn)折連詞but以及謂語動詞refused可知,Diana 與其他大多數(shù)孩子不同,她對這種負(fù)面心理是拒絕的態(tài)度,B項(xiàng)“Think abut”意為“考慮”,Diana拒絕考慮那些負(fù)面情緒。B項(xiàng)與劃線詞意義相近,故選B項(xiàng)。
2.細(xì)節(jié)排序題。根據(jù)第五段第二句“She lved skiing and she had been n skis since the age f five. (她喜歡滑雪,從5歲起就開始滑雪了。)”,第一段“Diana Glden was twelve years ld when she had cancer. (戴安娜·戈?duì)柕腔及┌Y時(shí)12歲)”可知,五歲開始化學(xué)的Diana12歲時(shí)被診斷患了癌癥。按順序?yàn)閏d,故先排除A項(xiàng)和D項(xiàng)。第六段中“With just ne leg, Diana made the best f it. In high schl, Diana became a member f her schl’s ski racing team. And in 1979, when she was just seventeen, she jined the US Disabled Ski Team. (只有一條腿的戴安娜充分利用了這一點(diǎn)。高中時(shí),戴安娜成為學(xué)校滑雪賽車隊(duì)的一員。1979年,年僅17歲的她加入了美國殘疾人滑雪隊(duì)。)”可知,17歲時(shí)Diana進(jìn)了美國殘疾人滑雪隊(duì),故排在第三個(gè)的是e;第七段中“After high schl, Diana went n t Dartmuth Cllege. Determined nt t be left behind, Diana cntinued her training with the Dartmuth team.(高中畢業(yè)后,戴安娜去了達(dá)特茅斯學(xué)院。黛安娜決心不掉隊(duì),繼續(xù)跟隨達(dá)特茅斯隊(duì)訓(xùn)練。)”,第四個(gè)為d。排除法,故選C項(xiàng)。
3.推理判斷題。文章介紹了因骨癌致殘的Diana身殘志堅(jiān),熱衷于滑雪,在倒數(shù)第二段“With her curage and determinatin, Diana has changed hw peple lk at disabled athletes (憑借她的勇氣和決心,Diana改變了人們對殘疾運(yùn)動員的看法)”可知,文章介紹Diana,以期借助于Diana的勇氣的決心來鼓勵讀者。故選D項(xiàng)。
4.主旨大意題。通讀全文,文章介紹了因骨癌致殘的Diana身殘志堅(jiān),熱衷于滑雪,并在倒數(shù)第三段“In 1982, Diana entered her first internatinal ski race. She wn the wrld Handicapped Champinship in Nrway. In 1986, Diana wn the Beck Award given t the best American racer in internatinal skiing. And in 1988, she was named Ski Racing Magazine’s U.S. Female Skier f the Year. (1982年,戴安娜第一次參加國際滑雪比賽。她在挪威贏得了世界殘疾人錦標(biāo)賽。1986年,黛安娜獲得了貝克獎,該獎是頒發(fā)給國際滑雪比賽中最優(yōu)秀的美國選手的。1988年,她被《滑雪賽車》雜志評為年度美國女性滑雪者。)”可知,失去了一條腿并沒有阻止她前進(jìn)的腳步,她一路更加努力并成為獲得世界殘疾人錦標(biāo)賽冠軍,A項(xiàng)“G fr the gld ( 爭奪金牌)”符合題意。故選A項(xiàng)。

Frm cwby hats and cattle t barbecue and ftball, Texas is knwn fr many things. One thing the Lne Star State is nt knwn fr, hwever, is winter weather.
That changed in February last year, when winter strm buried Texas in ice and snw. It raged fr a ttal f eight days, 23 hurs, and 23 minutes, which was ne f the mst impactful winter events in recent histry.
Accrding t Texas TV statin, winter strm Landn was s extreme that it caused trees acrss nrth Texas t “explde”, filling lcal cmmunities with bms that sunded mre like gunshts than tree branches.
The phenmenn f “explding trees” isn’t as unusual r as terrifying as it sunds, accrding t Janet, wh says trees ften freeze and burst as a result f rapid temperature shifts. “Our wide temperature swings mean that trees may nt be cmpletely drmant (休眠的) r prepared fr the cld,” Janet said. “Trees have several mechanisms they use t prevent freezing. They take cues t get adapted and ready fr the freeze.”
In trees that aren’t cmpletely inactive, cld weather causes tree sap t freeze. When that happens, the sap expands beynd what the tree’s bark can cntain. And s, the tree splits in places that can’t cpe with the pressure, creating cracks knwn as “frst cracks”. Althugh trees d nt actually explde int pieces when frst cracks happen, there may be lud nises and visible fractures (折斷), and heavy branches can fall t the grund.
“Trees explde in cld weather because the water cntent in the cells and tissues freezes,” MacKenzie said. “Frm midwinter t early spring this can ccur when the temperature swings, snw melts and warm sun, cld nights wrk in harmny. It is usually nthing t be t cncerned abut; the tree will start t heal just as quickly. I have been awakened many cld winter nights hearing the trees explde.”
1.What des the underlined wrd “That” refer t?
A.Texas is related t American ftball.
B.Texas is little knwn fr its winter weather.
C.Texas is a suitable place fr raising cattle.
D.Texas has a famus histry f cwbys.
2.What des Janet think causes the trees t explde?
A.The ccurrence f the winter strm.
B.The fragile tree branches in winter.
C.The sudden change f temperatures.
D.The trees’ preparatin fr the cld.
3.What des the fifth paragraph mainly talk abut?
A.The effect f cld weather n plants.
B.Ways t help trees prevent freezing.
C.The rle f sap in winter.
D.The reasn why trees explde.
4.What des MacKenzie imply in his wrds?
A.Tree explsin is a natural phenmenn.
B.Melting snw can lead t tree explsin.
C.Trees may explde even in warm nights.
D.Peple shuld be careful abut explding trees.
【答案】1.B 2.C 3.D 4.A
【文章大意】這是一篇說明文,主要分析了冬季風(fēng)暴導(dǎo)致德克薩斯州北部的樹木“爆炸”這一現(xiàn)象。
1.詞義猜測題。劃線詞That是指示代詞,往往指代前文內(nèi)容,所以線索指向第一段。由第一段“Frm cwby hats and cattle t barbecue and ftball, Texas is knwn fr many things. One thing the Lne Star State is nt knwn fr, hwever, is winter weather. (從牛仔帽和牛到燒烤和足球,得克薩斯州以很多東西聞名。然而,孤星州有一件事并不為人所知,那就是冬天的天氣)”關(guān)鍵詞hwever可知,轉(zhuǎn)折后的內(nèi)容是重點(diǎn),所以此處that指代在孤星州,并不是所有人都知道冬天的天氣。故答案為B。
2.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段“The phenmenn f “explding trees” isn’t as unusual r as terrifying as it sunds, accrding t Janet, wh says trees ften freeze and burst as a result f rapid temperature shifts. (Janet認(rèn)為“樹木爆炸”的現(xiàn)象并不像聽起來那么不尋?;蚩膳拢f,由于氣溫的快速變化,樹木經(jīng)常會結(jié)冰和爆裂)”可知,Janet認(rèn)為是由于天氣的快速變化導(dǎo)致樹木爆炸。故答案為C。
3.主旨大意題。根據(jù)第五段“In trees that aren’t cmpletely inactive, cld weather causes tree sap t freeze. When that happens, the sap expands beynd what the tree’s bark can cntain. And s, the tree splits in places that can’t cpe with the pressure, creating cracks knwn as “frst cracks”. Althugh trees d nt actually explde int pieces when frst cracks happen, there may be lud nises and visible fractures (折斷),and heavy branches can fall t the grund.(在那些不是完全不活躍的樹木中,寒冷的天氣會導(dǎo)致樹液凍結(jié)。當(dāng)這種情況發(fā)生時(shí),樹液會膨脹到超出樹皮所能容納的范圍。因此,樹木在無法承受壓力的地方裂開,形成了被稱為“霜裂縫”的裂縫。雖然霜裂發(fā)生時(shí)樹木不會爆炸成碎片,但可能會有很大的噪音和可見的裂縫(折斷),沉重的樹枝可能會掉落到地上)”可知,本段詳細(xì)描述了為什么天氣的急劇變化會導(dǎo)致樹木爆炸,所以D選項(xiàng)“樹木爆炸的原因”貼合本段主旨。故答案為D。
4.推理判斷題。根據(jù)尾段中的“Frm midwinter t early spring this can ccur when the temperature swings, snw melts and warm sun, cld nights wrk in harmny. (從仲冬到初春,氣溫波動,積雪融化,溫暖的太陽和寒冷的夜晚和諧相處,就會出現(xiàn)這種情況)”和“It is usually nthing t be t cncerned abut; the tree will start t heal just as quickly. (這通常沒什么好擔(dān)心的;這棵樹很快就會開始愈合)”可推測出MacKenzie 認(rèn)為樹木爆炸是一種常見的自然現(xiàn)象,沒有什么好擔(dān)心的,所以A選項(xiàng)“樹木爆炸是一種自然現(xiàn)象”符合題意。故答案為A。

If yu’ re reaching fr the last piece f pizza at a party, and meanwhile see anther hand ging fr it, yur next mve prbably depends n hw yu feel and whm the hand belngs t. Yur little sister — yu might just grab the pizza. Yur bss — yu prbably will give up.
Nw researchers have made prgress in understanding hw mammals’ brain encdes scial rank and uses this infrmatin t shape behavirs — such as whether t fight fr the last pizza slice. They discvered that an area f the brain called the medial prefrntal crtex (mPFC) was respnsible fr representing scial rank in mammals; changes t a muse’s mPFC affected its dminance behavir. But it was unknwn hw the mPFC represented this infrmatin and which neurns(神經(jīng)元) were invlved in changing dminance behaviur.
In the new study, Prfessr Kay Tye let grups f fur mice share a cage. Sme mice became mre dminant and thers mre subrdinate. As sn as the mice were paired up, he discvered, the activity f their mPFC neurns culd predict — with 90 percent certainty — the rank f their ppnent.
“We expected animals might nly signal rank when they are in a cmpetitin,” says c-researcher Nancy. “But it turns ut animals walk arund with this representatin f scial rank all the time.”
When the researchers next asked whether the activity f the mPFC neurns was assciated with behaviur, they fund smething surprising. The brain activity patterns were linked with slight changes in behaviur, such as hw fast a muse mved, and they als culd predict — a full 30 secnds befre the cmpetitin started — which muse wuld win the fd reward.
The winner was nt always the mre dminant, but the ne engaged in a winning mindset. Just as yu might smetimes be in a mre cmpetitive md and be mre likely t snatch that pizza slice befre yur bss, a subrdinate muse might be in a mre winning mindset than a mre dminant muse and end up winning.
The areas f the mPFC assciated with scial rank and winning mindset are next t ne anther and highly cnnected. Signals n scial rank impact the state f the brain invlved in winning mindset. In ther wrds, a subrdinate muse’s cnfidence and winning mindset may partially decrease when faced with a dminant ne.
“This is further evidence t suggest that we are in different brain states when we are with thers cmpared t when we’re alne,” says Tye.

2.詞句猜測題。根據(jù)第五段“When the researchers next asked whether the activity f the mPFC neurns was assciated with behaviur, they fund smething surprising. The brain activity patterns were linked with slight changes in behaviur, such as hw fast a muse mved, and they als culd predict—a full 30 secnds befre the cmpetitin started—which muse wuld win the fd reward. ” (當(dāng)研究人員再次詢問mPFC神經(jīng)元的活動是否與行為有關(guān)時(shí),他們發(fā)現(xiàn)了一些令人驚訝的事情。大腦活動模式與行為的輕微變化有關(guān),例如老鼠移動的速度,它們還可以在比賽開始前整整30秒預(yù)測哪只老鼠會贏得食物獎勵。)可知研究人員發(fā)現(xiàn)大腦活動模式與行為密切相關(guān),劃線部分的“they”指的是大腦活動模式。故選C項(xiàng)。

A set f mving “eyes” helped Pepe pay attentin t the children’s actins.
The rbt helped pupils wash their hands mre effectively, increasing their rates f hand—washing by 40 percent. Pupils spent twice as lng washing their hands after Pepe’s arrival. And mre than 95% f the students culd crrectly determine when hand—washing with sap has t be dne—befre a meal and after a visit t the tilet.
Hand—washing is ne f the mst effective ways against the spread f diarrhea and respiratry infectins. Dr. Aml Deshmukh, frm the University f Glasgw’s Schl f Cmputing Science, led the prject in partnership with clleagues frm Amrita University. He said, “We were delighted by the success f Pepe’s visit t this primary schl.

【文章大意】本文是一篇說明文。文章介紹了為了讓孩子們養(yǎng)成洗手的好習(xí)慣,印度一學(xué)校在洗手站上方的墻安裝了一個(gè)機(jī)器人來吸引學(xué)生的注意力,讓他們勤洗手。這個(gè)機(jī)器人提高了學(xué)生洗手的頻率。
1.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段的“And a hand—shaped rbt called “Pepe”, which encurages kids t wash their hands, has helped pupils at a remte Indian primary schl t develp habits f persnal hygiene (衛(wèi)生).(一個(gè)叫“Pepe”的手形機(jī)器人鼓勵孩子們洗手,它幫助印度一所偏遠(yuǎn)小學(xué)的學(xué)生養(yǎng)成了個(gè)人衛(wèi)生習(xí)慣。)”可知,這個(gè)機(jī)器人就是為了鼓勵學(xué)生養(yǎng)成洗手的好習(xí)慣。故選D項(xiàng)。
2.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段的“A small vide screen behind the green plastic Pepe acted as a “muth”, allwing researchers t tele—perate the rbt t speak t the pupils and draw their attentin t the pster utlining the steps f effective hand—washing. A set f mving “eyes” helped Pepe pay attentin t the children’s actins.(綠色塑料Pepe后面的一個(gè)小電視屏幕充當(dāng)了一個(gè)“嘴”,使研究人員能夠遙控機(jī)器人對學(xué)生說話,并把他們的注意力吸引到概述有效洗手步驟的海報(bào)上。一組移動的“眼睛”幫助佩佩注意孩子們的行動。)”可知,研究人員通過操控這個(gè)機(jī)器人來讓學(xué)生關(guān)注墻上的海報(bào),海報(bào)上有關(guān)于有效洗手的步驟,來告知學(xué)生如何洗手。因此可知,這個(gè)機(jī)器人是通過給學(xué)生傳播一些關(guān)于洗手方面的知識來幫助學(xué)生養(yǎng)成勤洗手的習(xí)慣。故選B項(xiàng)。
3.推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段的“The rbt helped pupils wash their hands mre effectively, increasing their rates f hand—washing by 40 percent. Pupils spent twice as lng washing their hands after Pepe’s arrival. And mre than 95% f the students culd crrectly determine when hand—washing with sap has t be dne—befre a meal and after a visit t the tilet.(這個(gè)機(jī)器人幫助學(xué)生更有效地洗手,洗手率提高了40%。佩佩到來后,學(xué)生們洗手的時(shí)間增加了一倍。超過95%的學(xué)生能夠正確判斷何時(shí)必須用肥皂洗手——飯前和如廁后。)”可知,這個(gè)機(jī)器人的到來提高了學(xué)生的洗手率,使得學(xué)生洗手的時(shí)間增加了一倍,因此可知,它的到來是很成功的。故選C項(xiàng)。
4.詞句猜測題。根據(jù)最后一段的“He said, “We were delighted by the success f Pepe’s visit t this primary schl. The children were excited t interact with this relatively simple machine, which was clearly gd fr keeping their hands clean. Dr. Bhavani frm Amrita University said,” AMMACHI (Amrita Multi Mdal Applicatin and Cmputer Human Interactin) Labs have taken multi plans t address cmmn challenges facing lw—incme rural cmmunities in India and wrldwide using technlgy.”(他說:“我們對佩佩訪問這所小學(xué)的成功感到高興。孩子們興奮地與這臺相對簡單的機(jī)器互動,這顯然有利于保持他們的手干凈。Amrita大學(xué)的Bhavani博士說:“AMMACHI (Amrita多模式應(yīng)用和人機(jī)交互)實(shí)驗(yàn)室已經(jīng)采取了多種計(jì)劃,利用技術(shù)解決印度和全世界低收入農(nóng)村社區(qū)面臨的共同挑戰(zhàn)?!?”可知,機(jī)器人的到來使得學(xué)生們養(yǎng)成勤洗手的習(xí)慣,因此可推知,研究者們利用科技解決了一些問題、一些挑戰(zhàn),因此可知劃線詞與A項(xiàng)“deal with解決”意義相近。故選A項(xiàng)。
