(2020·皖南八校聯(lián)考)You try to keep your eyes wide open while watching a basketball match or a wonderful firework show in case you might miss something exciting in just the blink of an eye. But in fact, humans blink about 15 times per minute on average. Have you ever missed anything because you blinked? Probably not. Why is that?
According to a new study published in the journal Current Biology in September, our brain has the ability to skip the temporary darkness when we blink. It can keep visual information for a short period of time and then put it together to form an image without interruption.
In order to understand how this works, a group of scientists at the German Primate Center and the University Center Gottingen in Germany conducted an experiment. In the study, the participants were asked to look at patterns on a screen whose direction could be interpreted in different ways, such as horizontally(水平地) or vertically(垂直地). When one pattern was about to disappear and the next one was about to come, the participants had to indicate the direction that the next pattern would appear.
The researchers found that when the directions of two patterns didn’t match, the area in our brain which is responsible for visual memory was activated. This same area showed less activity when two patterns were in the same direction.
“The medial prefrontal cortex(額葉皮層) adjusts current visual information with previously obtained information, and thus enables us to perceive the world with more stability, even when we briefly close our eyes to blink,” Caspar Schwiedrzik explained in Science Daily. He is the first author of the study and also a scientist at the German Primate Center.
【解題導(dǎo)語】 本文是一篇說明文。研究發(fā)現(xiàn),眨眼并不會錯過細節(jié)并解釋了其原因。
1.We don’t miss anything when blinking because our brain can ________.
A.deal with the missing image
B.remember all that we see
C.imagine what our eyes miss
D.put our pieces of memory together
A 解析:推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段第一句“According to a new study published in the journal Current Biology in September, our brain has the ability to skip the temporary darkness when we blink.” 可知,根據(jù)九月份發(fā)表在《當代生物學(xué)》雜志上的一項新研究,我們的大腦有能力跳過我們眨眼時形成的暫時黑暗。據(jù)此可推知,由于我們的大腦能處理丟失的圖像,所以眨眼不會讓我們錯過任何東西,故A項正確。
2.What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A.Our brain. B.Visual information.
C.Current Biology. D.The temporary darkness.
B 解析:代詞指代題。根據(jù)第二段第二句“It can keep visual information for a short period of time and then put it together to form an image without interruption.”可知,大腦可以在短時間內(nèi)保存視覺信息,然后將其組合在一起形成不中斷的圖像,故可推知,it指代上文中的“visual information”,故B項正確。
3.What do we know about the experiment?
A.The two patterns appear at the same time.
B.Visual memory can be more activated by similarity.
C.Participants can interpret patterns differently.
D.The different directions activated visual memory.
D 解析:細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段中的“when the directions of two patterns didn’t match, the area in our brain which is responsible for visual memory was activated. This same area showed less activity when two patterns were in the same direction.”可知,當兩個模式的方向不一致時,掌握視覺記憶的大腦區(qū)域則被激活;當兩種模式在同一方向時,這個區(qū)域則顯示出較少的活動。據(jù)此可知,不同的方向能激活視覺記憶,故D項正確。
4.What would be the best title for this passage?
A.The Brain’s Structure
B.The Brain’s Activated Patterns
C.The Brain’s Special Skill
D.The Brain’s Orientation
C 解析:標題歸納題。通讀全文可知,本文主要介紹了一項科學(xué)研究。研究表明,眨眼不會錯過細節(jié)并解釋了其原因,即大腦有能力在短時間內(nèi)保存視覺信息,然后將其組合在一起形成不中斷的圖像信息。故C項最適合作本文的標題。

(2020·濟南高三質(zhì)檢)There are only a few truly pleasant smells to wake up to in the morning. For me, it’s the smell of freshly brewed coffee. Just a sniff of it makes me jump out of bed and rush to the kitchen for a gulp of the hot black liquid.
If you’re a big fan of coffee, you’ll understand that opening a new packet of coffee releases an amazing smell—fresh, roasted coffee beans. And you’ll be able to identify the beans’ origin—Colombia, Vietnam or Brazil. Tim Hayward is a food writer and coffee shop owner; he believes the smell is absolutely vital. “When you walk into the coffee shop in the morning and that smell hits you, you’re getting physiological responses.”
I know from experience when I walk into a cafe, my mouth begins to water and it’s the smell that makes me feel good. However, this feeling sometimes turns to disappointment. This is particularly the case when I order a coffee to go in a tall paper cup and sip the liquid through a hole in the lid. Yes, it’s convenient, but is it really the right way to appreciate it?
You walk into the coffee shop, you get the smell, but when you actually take the drink out, you are drinking it from something that is designed to deliver the hot liquid directly past your tongue, but prevent any smell coming up to your nose. As well as eliminating the smell, takeaway coffee cups create a lot of waste and a vast majority of them still don’t get recycled. So maybe now is the time to really wake up and smell the coffee by drinking from a cup in a cafe, chatting with friends and saving the planet!
【解題導(dǎo)語】 咖啡的味道令作者著迷,但是紙杯裝的咖啡,其味道被阻隔了,無法讓人感覺到咖啡真正的味道,并且紙杯還帶來污染。
5.In which aspect does the author agree with Tim Hayward?
A.People drink coffee first thing in the morning.
B.Coffee beans’ origin makes all the differences.
C.Some people are addicted to drinking coffee.
D.It’s the smell of coffee that really matters.
D 解析:細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段第二句“For me, it’s the smell of freshly brewed coffee.”以及第二段第三句中的“he believes the smell is absolutely vital”可知,兩人都認為咖啡的味道非常重要。故選D。
6.What does the author complain about?
A.The process of making coffee.
B.The high temperature of coffee.
C.The design of the paper coffee cup.
D.The inconvenience of buying coffee.
C 解析:細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段最后一句和第四段第一句中的“you are drinking it from something that is designed to deliver the hot liquid directly past your tongue, but prevent any smell coming up to your nose”可知,紙杯的設(shè)計令作者不滿。故選C。
7.What can replace the word “eliminating” underlined in Paragraph 4?
A.Creating. B.Removing.
C.Increasing. D.Changing.
B 解析:詞義猜測題。根據(jù)第四段第一句中的“prevent any smell coming up to your nose”并結(jié)合畫線詞所在句可推知,該詞的含義與“prevent”含義相近,故選B。
8.What can be the best title of the text?
A.Wake Up and Smell the Coffee
B.Try to Be a Real Lover of Coffee
C.Drink Coffee to Save the Planet
D.Choose Takeaway Coffee for Convenience
A 解析:標題歸納題。根據(jù)第一段第二句“For me, it’s the smell of freshly brewed coffee.”并結(jié)合文章其他內(nèi)容可知,全文圍繞咖啡的味道展開敘述,主要講述了作者對咖啡味道的喜愛,并表述了打包帶走的紙杯裝咖啡的壞處,并因此建議不如在咖啡館內(nèi)坐下來,細細品味咖啡,故A項最適合作本文標題。

(2020·安徽聯(lián)盟階段考試)
When I was three years old, I couldn’t speak. It was a strange reality that none of the doctors I visited could understand.
One day, I was shadowing(尾隨) my mother. She found herself looking in a mirror, and through it our eyes met. She began to speak to me through the reflection, and I slowly began to mimic(模仿) her mouth’s movements until I formed a word.
It turned out that I’m deaf in my left ear, and have a slight problem in my right. Being hard of hearing has been difficult, but I’ve never lived in a state of self-hating sorrow. Imagine being able to shut out all sound as you lay your head down to sleep by simply rolling over onto one side. That’s my reality when I sleep on my “good ear”, and it makes me feel like a superhero sometimes.
People call my deaf side my “bad ear”, but when I wear my hearing aid, I have access to a range of features that some other deaf people don’t. In cinemas, for example, with one click of a button I can enjoy a whole film as though it were whispered to me from the mouths of the actors.
Owning a hearing aid hasn’t always felt good, however. On the first day I got my aid, when I was eight, I took it to school for show and tell. As I explained how it worked to my classmates, a boy yelled out, “Aren’t those for old men?” At that moment, I felt different. It took a long time for me to get over that sense of being so unlike my peers.
But it’s not just schoolkids who can make us deaf and hard-of-hearing people feel like burdens. Every video on social media that lacks subtitles(字幕), for example, means an entire community of deaf people is unable to enjoy it. Completely deaf people are excluded from enjoying many movies too, as subtitles in cinemas are almost impossible to find.
And with hearing aids costing around $2,500 each, it can be hard for many people to afford to be able to listen to things that others take for granted. As for me, I can listen to music, enjoy films, and catch conversations—I’m lucky. I’m deaf, but I can still hear everything. I’ve been blessed with wonderful life experiences, and I am human. And when it comes to sleeping, I’m even superhuman.
【解題導(dǎo)語】 本文主要講述了作者積極應(yīng)對自己聽力障礙的勵志故事。
1.How does the author view his hearing difficulty?
A.It’s a disaster and causes him a lot of trouble.
B.It gave him a chance to experience something special.
C.It made him feel embarrassed in front of his classmates.
D.It helped him to live in his own world without being interrupted.

A.He was born deaf.
B.He is optimistic and helpful.
C.His family and classmates have supported him a lot.
D.The hearing aid brings much convenience to his daily life.

4.What is the author’s main purpose in writing the passage?
A.To give advice on life to disabled people.
B.To show how difficult life is for disabled people.
C.To share his experience of treating a disadvantage with gratitude.
D.To show the convenience a hearing aid could bring.

(2020·遼寧五校聯(lián)考)In a long-sleeved shirt and jeans, Dieudonne Twahirwa looks nothing like the traditional African farmer. The 30-year-old owner of Gashora Farm knows what a difference that makes.
“You need more role models,” he said, standing among knee-high rows of chilli(辣椒) plants. “If you have young farmers, having land and driving to the farm, others may think, ‘Why can’t I do that?’”
Mr. Twahirwa, a university graduate, bought a friend’s tomato farm six years ago for $150. He made $1,500 back in two months. “You have to link farming with entrepreneurship and real numbers,” he said.
Many young Africans are abandoning areas in the countryside, choosing not to work hard and for a long time in the fields—a job made tougher by climate change.
But Twahirwa is one of the growing band of successful farmers working to make agriculture’s image on the continent more attractive. Some 1,000 farmers now produce chillies for him. He is starting a fourth farm of his own, and exports fresh and dried chillies and oil to Britain, the United States, India, and Kenya.
Africa has the world’s youngest population and 65 percent of its uncultivated arable land(耕地后備資源). Yet accessing land and loans is difficult, and African productivity is low with crop yields just 56 percent of the international average.
“Agriculture is mainly associated with suffering and no young person wants to suffer,” said Tamara Kaunda. She believes African agriculture needs a change to get rid of its old-fashioned image of very hard and tiring work with a hoe. “Show young people tractors, green fields, nice irrigation systems and smartphones,” she said.
Getting young people involved in agriculture does not mean they have to work on a farm. For example, in coffee production, the beans go from the farm to the washing station, then to be separated from the husks(外殼).
【解題導(dǎo)語】 非洲青年Dieudonne Twahirwa從事農(nóng)業(yè)生產(chǎn),他通過自己的努力,獲得了巨大的回報;非洲有世界上最年輕的人群與大量的耕地后備資源,但是由于氣候與農(nóng)業(yè)技術(shù)的落后,很多年輕人都不愿意從事農(nóng)業(yè);Dieudonne Twahirwa則為非洲青年樹立了榜樣。
5.What does “Why can’t I do that?” in paragraph 2 mean?
A.Why can’t I drive to the farm?
B.Why can’t they farm?
C.They follow the example of those farmers.
D.They bought a friend’s tomato farm.
C 解析:句意理解題。根據(jù)第二段中的“If you have young farmers, having land and driving to the farm, others may think, ‘Why can’t I do that?’”可知,此處表示如果你有年輕的農(nóng)民,他們有土地,而且開車去農(nóng)場,其他人可能會想:“為什么我不能那樣做?”該句意在表明其他人認為他們可以效仿那些農(nóng)民的做法。故選C。
6.What makes it harder for farmers to work?
A.Poor land. B.Climate change.
C.Low income. D.Long working hours.
B 解析:細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段“Many young Africans are abandoning areas in the countryside...a job made tougher by climate change.”可知,在非洲,讓農(nóng)民的勞動難度更大的原因是氣候變化。故選B。
7.What can we learn about Twahirwa according to paragraph 5?
A.He made a fortune by growing chillies.
B.His chillies are superb in the world.
C.Farmers working for him live a simple life.
D.The locals aren’t willing to buy his chillies.
A 解析:推理判斷題。根據(jù)第五段中的“Some 1,000 farmers now produce chillies for him. He is starting a fourth farm of his own”可推知,Twahirwa通過種植紅辣椒賺了很多錢。故選A。
8.When it comes to agriculture in Africa, what do people think about it?
A.Loans are difficult.
B.Most land is uncultivated.
C.Crop yields are rather low.
D.Farming methods are out of date.
D 解析:推理判斷題。根據(jù)第七段中的“African agriculture needs a change to get rid of its old-fashioned image of very hard and tiring work with a hoe”可知,非洲農(nóng)業(yè)需要改變,以擺脫其傳統(tǒng)的形象:使用鋤頭的非常辛苦和累人的工作。由此可知,當談及非洲的農(nóng)業(yè)時,人們想到的是落后的耕作方法。故選D。A、B、C三項均為非洲農(nóng)業(yè)的實際情況,不是人們對其的看法。

(2020·沈陽教學(xué)質(zhì)量監(jiān)測一)Whoever wrote the song “It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year” must have never experienced the holiday blues. Fortunately, psychological research suggests some effective ways you can use to beat the holiday blues. The key point is that sadness and other tough emotions are not what we should try to avoid. 1.________. Here are four strategies to help you make your own happiness recipe this holiday season.
Don’t force cheer
At family gatherings with cousins you secretly can’t stand, you tend to put on a happy face. Indeed, that might even seem like the most mature response—no drama, no conflict. But a 2011 study followed dozens of bus drivers, looking to see when they gave forced or honest smiles at their passengers. The results showed when the drivers pretended to have a good mood, their actual moods got worse. 2.________.
Let out sadness
The results of the bus-driver study can be explained by researchers, who find that negative feelings like sadness or anger only increase when we try to control them. 3.________. We don’t like contradictory behavior.
Respond cautiously
Recently, scientists have been paying special attention to the benefits of caution. When you respond cautiously to an emotional trigger, you pause rather than react at once. 4.________. Besides, it is associated with less anxiety, and may even carry physiological benefits.
5.________
Of course, the holidays will bring a mix of highs and lows, but the most important lesson to keep in mind is that this variety of emotions might be the best thing possible for your overall well-being. In other words, sadness, anger, and other difficult emotions are nothing to fear. Just make sure you’re balancing them with lighter experiences. And don’t forget to give yourself a break.
A.Relax your mind
B.Enjoy a mix of emotions
C.We tend to deny the important function emotions serve
D.Instead, they can help contribute to a healthy and happy life

【解題導(dǎo)語】 本文是一篇說明文,主要介紹了緩解假期憂郁的四種策略。
1.D 解析:承接上文“The key point is that sadness and other tough emotions are not what we should try to avoid.”可知,負面情緒不是我們應(yīng)該試圖避免的,且與下文中的“Here are four strategies to help you make your own happiness recipe this holiday season.”銜接,并結(jié)合下文介紹的策略可推知,此處表示負面情緒反而有助于健康、快樂地生活,故選D。
2.E 解析:結(jié)合本段小標題Don’t force cheer和對本段的整體理解可推知,強顏歡笑會適得其反,故選E。
3.G 解析:根據(jù)上文中的“negative feelings like sadness or anger only increase when we try to control them”和下文中的“We don’t like contradictory behavior.”可推知,此處表示當我們的外表和內(nèi)心的情感不一致時我們會感覺很糟糕,故選G。
4.F 解析:根據(jù)本段小標題Respond cautiously以及空前一句中的“When you respond cautiously”和空后一句“Besides, it is associated with less anxiety, and may even carry physiological benefits.”可推知,F(xiàn)項符合語境,其中的“cautious response”也是提示。
5.B 解析:根據(jù)空處所在位置可知,空處是段落小標題;根據(jù)對本段的整體理解可推知,本段主要講的是享受混合情緒,故選B。

A study 2.____________ experts from the London School of Economics and Political Science found that people who tend to go to bed later have 3.____________(high) IQs. 4.____________ study authors believe the root of why this is lies in our evolution—because nighttime was a more dangerous time, and our ancestors who were to stay up instead of going to sleep 5.____________(need) to be more intelligent. Also, 6.____________(stay) awake into the night was a new idea 7.____________ was attractive to curious minds.
Today, our varying living rhythms may still reflect this. “Perhaps some smart people stay up later because their internal clocks are 8.____________(simple) different,” Dr. Wai says. “Or, perhaps they stay up later because they tend to be alone, and like being up late at night without distractions to think and solve their 9.____________(problem).” But if you are a night owl, still remember 10.____________(get) your seven to nine hours of sleep.
【解題導(dǎo)語】 研究表明,有熬夜習(xí)慣的人有更高的智商。
1.is rooted 解析:考查固定用法。根據(jù)語境可知,這種電影的情節(jié)可能來源于真實情況。be rooted in sth.“起源于某事物”是固定用法,且此處敘述的是一般情況,應(yīng)用一般現(xiàn)在時,故填is rooted。
2.by 解析:考查介詞。根據(jù)語境可知,此處是說一項由專家所作的研究,故填by。
3.higher 解析:考查形容詞比較級。根據(jù)上下文及空前的“go to bed later”可知,這里是說睡覺更晚的人有更高的智商,故此處用high的比較級higher。
4.The 解析:考查冠詞。這里特指上文提到的研究的作者們,故用定冠詞The。
5.needed 解析:考查動詞的時態(tài)。根據(jù)語境可知,此處敘述的是發(fā)生在過去的事情,應(yīng)用一般過去時,故填needed。
6.staying 解析:考查動名詞。分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知,此處為動名詞短語作主語。
7.that/which 解析:考查定語從句。分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知,空處引導(dǎo)定語從句,修飾先行詞a new idea,在從句中作主語,故填that/which。
8.simply 解析:考查副詞。修飾形容詞應(yīng)用副詞,故用simple的副詞形式simply修飾其后的形容詞different。
9.problems 解析:考查名詞的單復(fù)數(shù)。根據(jù)句意“也許他們熬夜是因為他們傾向于獨處,并且喜歡深夜全神貫注地來思考和解決問題”,且problem為可數(shù)名詞可知,此處應(yīng)用problem的復(fù)數(shù)形式,故填problems。
10.to get 解析:考查非謂語動詞。remember to do sth.“記得去做某事”為固定用法,故填to get。
