Valerie Blduc is explring a path under a fur-lane highway t fit wildlife cameras, when she gets stuck in the mud. “I am really stuck,” says the rad eclgy student, trying t pull her feet ut f a streambed that travels thrugh the cncrete culvert (涵洞) f Quebec Rute 117. “I d nt want t be a deer ging thrugh that.”
Blduc’s dilemma makes evident the risks fr wild animals using the same path.
A warming climate is pushing many animals t migrate tward higher latitudes (緯度) t remain within their desirable envirnments, but that cmes with risks as they crss dangerus areas, such as highways. In eastern Canada, Blduc and ther researchers and cnservatinists are trying t preserve safe crridrs (走廊) fr wildlife.
The mtin-activated cameras they have brught will recrd which species are using the tunnels. An utward-facing camera will identify what animals apprach but d nt enter, perhaps prevented by traffic nise, the tunnel’s size r ther factrs.
Blduc explains that this highway running thrugh suthern Quebec separates a series f Canadian natinal and reginal parks n either side, alng with their animal ppulatins. “It’s super imprtant,” she ntes, “because the animals want t mve nrth and they encunter these and then can they mve thrugh? Will they get hit by a car? We’ll need t figure that ut. And we need t help them, at least I want t help them.”
After finishing fitting their cameras n the nrthbund side f the highway, Blduc and her team decide they need an alternate path t the ther side t avid anther misfrtune in the mud. “We’re generally trying t be safe,” Blduc says, “but fr the animals, this is their life!”
4. What can we learn frm Blduc’s experience f being trapped?
A. It is difficult t fit wildlife cameras.
B. She is ut f luck during the explratin.
C. Rad cnditins f the highway are unexpected.
D. It is dangerus fr wild animals t crss this area.
5. What d these animals mve t higher latitudes fr?
A. Less traffic nise.B. Warmer climate.C. Safe crridrs.D. Favrable envirnments.
6. What functin is expected f the wildlife cameras?
A. T recrd the changes in traffic flw.B. T figure ut difficulties wild animals face.
C. T track animals in and arund the tunnels.D. T phtgraph the living envirnment f wild animals.
7. Which f the fllwing can be the best title fr the text?
A. High Tech Prtects WildlifeB. Animal Migratin Is under Threat
C. Eclgists Fear the Future f WildlifeD. Researchers Seek Paths fr Animals t Migrate

We’ve all been tld that different types f fruits and vegetables have different benefits that help us maintain ur health. A new internatinal study has fund that eating ne fruit regularly can help reduce the risk f cancer, amng thse peple wh have a high risk f develping certain cancers.
The research which fllwed almst 1000 patients with Lynch syndrme-a genetic cnditin that makes peple predispsed t range f cancers fund that a regular intake f resistant starch(抗酶解淀粉)culd have a majr preventative effect n the risk f cancer. Here’s what yu need t knw abut hw eating bananas can help reduce risk f cancer.
Resistant starch is a type f carbhydrate(碳水化合物)which feeds beneficial gut bacteria. It is fund in green bananas. By eating green bananas yur bdy gets a regular dse f resistant starch which has been fund t reduce risk f cancers in sme parts f the bdy by mre than half, accrding t the new research. The study, which was published in Cancer Preventin Research, was led by experts at the Universities f Newcastle and Leeds. It fund that resistant starch, if taken regularly fr an average f tw years, had a psitive effect n sme cancers, which can be difficult t detect.
Jhn Mather, a prfessr at Newcastle University explained:“Resistant starch acts in effect, like dietary fibre in yur digestive system. This type f starch has several health benefits and fewer calries than regular starch.”
Besides green bananas, resistant starch is als fund in fds such as peas, ats, cereal, beans and ther starchy fds. Yu can als take resistant starch as a pwder supplement.
In terms f bananas, experts recmmend that eating ne banana daily is the equivalent f ne dse f resistant starch. The trick is t eat the bananas befre they becme t ripe r sft.

Here’s what yu need t knw abut hw eating bananas can help reduce risk f cancer.(這項研究跟蹤了近1000名林奇綜合征(一種使人容易患癌癥的遺傳疾病)患者,發(fā)現定期攝入抗性淀粉對癌癥風險有重要的預防作用。關于吃香蕉如何幫助降低癌癥風險,以下是你需要知道的。)”可知,抗性淀粉才是減少癌癥概率的關鍵。故選B。
【9題詳解】
細節(jié)理解題。根據第三段“By eating green bananas yur bdy gets a regular dse f resistant starch, which has been fund t reduce risk f cancers in sme parts f the bdy by mre than half, accrding t the new research.(根據這項新研究,通過吃青香蕉,你的身體會獲得一定量的抗性淀粉,這種淀粉被發(fā)現可以將身體某些部位的癌癥風險降低一半以上。)”可知,新的研究是經常食用青香蕉可以減少得癌癥的概率。故選B。
【10題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據第四段的Jhn Mather的發(fā)言“Resistant starch acts in effect, like dietary fibre in yur digestive system. This type f starch has several health benefits and fewer calries than regular starch. (抗性淀粉的作用就像消化系統(tǒng)中的膳食纖維一樣。這種淀粉對健康有很多好處,而且比普通淀粉的熱量更低。)”可推斷,他的研究領域與人體營養(yǎng)有關。故選A。
【11題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據倒數第二段“Besides green bananas, resistant starch is als fund in fds such as peas, ats, cereal, beans and ther starchy fds. Yu can als take resistant starch as a pwder supplement.(除了綠香蕉,抗性淀粉還存在于豌豆、燕麥、谷物、豆類和其他淀粉類食物中。你也可以服用抗性淀粉作為粉末補充劑。)”和最后一段“In terms f bananas, experts recmmend that eating ne banana daily is the equivalent f ne dse f resistant starch. The trick is t eat the bananas befre they becme t ripe r sft.(就香蕉而言,專家建議每天吃一根香蕉相當于一劑抗性淀粉。竅門是在香蕉太熟或太軟之前吃。)”可推斷,抗性淀粉并不只存在于青香蕉中,因此保持一定的抗性淀粉攝入才是預防癌癥的關鍵。故選C。
D
Researchers reprted a blind man wh had received a gene f a light-sensing prtein can nw see and tuch bjects with the help f special gggles(護目鏡).
His visin gains are mdest—he cannt see clrs r distinguish faces r letters. But if the treatment helps ther study participants, it may ffer advantages ver ther visin technlgies fr severely blind peple. Fr scientists, the result is a milestne: the first published reprt f using a relatively new technlgy called ptgenetics(光遺傳學) t treat a disease in peple. “It’s nt the kind f visin peple dream f, but it’s a big step,” said Jean Bennett f the University f Pennsylvania.
Optgenetics uses light t cntrl neurns. Scientists add the gene t a light-sensitive prtein called psin(視蛋白) frm algae r bacteria and then shine light n the cell t cause the psin t change shape, which switches the neurn’s activity n r ff. Since it was develped nearly 20 years ag, ptgenetics has mstly been used as a tl t treat animals, brain diseases. But researchers hpe it can ne day treat diseases such as Parkinsn’s disease and blindness.
“The eye is the simplest place t start because it is small and easy t access,” said Btnd Rska, a physician-scientist at the University f Base.
The patients in the study have lst the retinal phtreceptr cells(視網膜感光細胞) that use human psins t turn light int electrical signals relayed t the brain. But their eyes still have the cells that rute these signals t the brain via the ptic nerve. That means the patients culd ptentially gain visin by giving these cells a new kind f psin.
12. What can we knw abut the result frm paragraph 2?
A. It has shrtcmings but is imprtant.
B. It can be used t treat blind peple nw.
C. It is the cnclusin f previus research.
D. It is a way t help peple becme mdest.
13. Which is the key t the treatment?
A. New gggles.B. Suitable psin.
C. Natural prteins.D. Retinal phtreceptr cells.
14. What can we infer abut ptgenetics frm the text?
A. It can benefit bth humans and animals.
B. Scientists have never fcused n it befre.
C. If has been used t treat animals’ blindness.
D. Patients shuld knw smething abut it.
15. What may be the best title fr the text?

B. Ways t Help Patients Stay Healthy
C. Researchers Find Blindness Can Be Cured
D. A Treatment Helps Blind Men Regain Sme Visin
【答案】12. A13. B14. A15. D
【解析】
【分析】本文是說明文??茖W家們發(fā)現了一種新療法,給盲人帶來了福音。
【12題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據第二段“His visin gains are mdest—he cannt see clrs r distinguish faces r letters. But if the treatment helps ther study participants, it may ffer advantages ver ther visin technlgies fr severely blind peple. Fr scientists, the result is a milestne: the first published reprt f using a relatively new technlgy called ptgenetics(光遺傳學) t treat a disease in peple.”(他的視力增長平平——看不清顏色,分辨不出面孔和字母。但如果這種療法能幫助其他研究參與者,那么它可能會為重度盲人提供比其他視覺技術更好的優(yōu)勢。對科學家來說,這一結果是一個里程碑:首次發(fā)表了一份使用名為光遺傳學的相對較新的技術治療人類疾病的報告)由此可知,光遺傳學療法的治療效果是有限的,但它是首次被報道用來治療人類的疾病,因此這個研究的結果有不足但也很重要。故選A項。
【13題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據第三段“Scientists add the gene t a light-sensitive prtein called psin(視蛋白) frm algae r bacteria and then shine light n the cell t cause the psin t change shape, which switches the neurn’s activity n r ff”(科學家們將這種基因添加到一種來自藻類或細菌的光敏蛋白質視蛋白中,然后將光線照射到細胞上,使視蛋白改變形狀,從而開啟或關閉神經元活動)和最后一段“The patients in the study have lst the retinal phtreceptr cells(視網膜感光細胞) that use human psins t turn light int electrical signals relayed t the brain. But their eyes still have the cells that rute these signals t the brain via the ptic nerve. That means the patients culd ptentially gain visin by giving these cells a new kind f psin.”(研究中的患者已經失去了視網膜感光細胞,這些細胞利用人類視蛋白將光轉化為電信號傳遞給大腦。但他們的眼睛仍然有細胞通過視神經將這些信號傳送到大腦。這意味著患者可以通過給這些細胞一種新的視蛋白來獲得視力)由此判斷出,視蛋白是控制神經元和傳輸電子信號的關鍵。故選B項。
【14題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據第三段“Since it was develped nearly 20 years ag, ptgenetics has mstly been used as a tl t treat animals, brain diseases. But researchers hpe it can ne day treat diseases such as Parkinsn’s disease and blindness.”(自近20年前開發(fā)以來,光遺傳學主要被用作治療動物和大腦疾病的工具。但研究人員希望有一天它能治療帕金森病和失明等疾病。)可知,光遺傳學已經被用來治療動物的腦部疾病?,F在它又可以用來恢復盲人一定的視力。因此光遺傳學能造福人類和動物。故選A項。
【15題詳解】
主旨大意題。根據第一段“Researchers reprted a blind man wh had received a gene f a light-sensing prtein can nw see and tuch bjects with the help f special gggles”(研究人員報告說,一名植入了感光蛋白基因的盲人現在可以借助特殊的護目鏡看到和觸摸物體)由此可知,文章講述了一個接受了光感蛋白基因的盲人現在可以在特殊護目鏡的幫助下恢復一定的視力。所以短文的最佳標題為“一種幫助盲人恢復視力的治療方法”。故選D項。

【解析】
【分析】這是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了一位用針作畫的藝術家Cayce Zavaglia,包括她作畫的方式,對自己畫的看法,以及人們對畫的感覺。
【16題詳解】
根據上文“Cayce Zavaglia is an artist with a unique transfrmatin t her wrk.(Cayce Zavaglia是一位藝術家,她的作品有著獨特的變化)”和下文“Painting with tiny needles is nt as fast as painting with a brush(用細針作畫不如用刷子作畫快) ”可知,上文提到了Cayce Zavaglia作畫的改變,下文則說用針作畫比較慢。由此可知,Cayce Zavaglia的改變是用針作畫。C項“她不是用刷子畫畫,而是用針”符合文意,needle是關鍵詞。故選C。
【17題詳解】
根據上文“Painting with tiny needles is nt as fast as painting with a brush(用細針作畫不如用刷子作畫快)”和下文“It takes tw mnths-nearly 200 hurs t cmplete a prtrait.(完成一幅肖像畫需要兩個月——近200個小時) ”可知,用針作畫需要花大量時間。由此推知,空處承接上文,解釋為什么用針作畫很慢。F項“這需要很大的耐心,因為你經常要重新穿針”符合文意,下文是對空處內容的進一步說明。故選F。
【18題詳解】
根據下文“Once she decides,she invites that persn t her studi and takes hundreds f phtgraphs.(一旦她決定了,她會邀請那個人到她的工作室,拍上數百張照片)”結合倒數一二段提到的作畫步驟推知,設空處應陳述Cayce作畫的第一步——決定畫誰。D項“Cayce的第一步是決定誰將出現在畫像中 ”符合文意,選項中的deciding呼應下文的decides。故選D。
【19題詳解】
根據上文“Cayce starts with the hair and frehead, then mves n t the shulders and clthing, and finally the face. The human face is what she mst enjys creating in her art.(Cayce從頭發(fā)和前額開始,然后是肩膀和衣服,最后是臉。在她的藝術中,人的臉是她最喜歡創(chuàng)造的) ”和下文“In a prtrait f her baby daughter,the skin appears sft and smth. In a prtrait f her dad, the stitches shw a wrinkled and aging face.(在她的小女兒的肖像中,皮膚顯得柔軟光滑。在她父親的肖像中,縫線顯示出皺紋和衰老的臉)”可知,上文提到了Cayce創(chuàng)作的部位,下文則提到不同的肖像皮膚有不同的表現形式。由此推知,空處應陳述皮膚在創(chuàng)作中具有挑戰(zhàn)性。B項 “最大的挑戰(zhàn)是讓皮膚看起來真實”符合文意,skin是關鍵詞,下文是對空處內容的舉例說明。故選B。
【20題詳解】
根據上文“Frm a distance, peple believe the prtraits are painted.(從遠處看,人們認為畫像是畫的)”可知,上文描述了人們從遠處看畫的感覺,由此推知,空處承接上文,描述人們從近處看畫的感覺。G項“但是當他們仔細看的時候,他們看到畫像是繡出來的”符合文意,選項中的clser對應上文的frm a distance,且they指代上文的peple。故選G。

【38題詳解】

【41題詳解】
考查定語從句。句意:這座城市的“心理咖啡館”提供了極大的舒適,是最受歡迎的地方之一。此處為非限制性定語從句,先行詞為The city’s “psychlgy cafes”,從句缺主語,應用關系代詞which。故填which。
【42題詳解】
