The return of the road trip
People are cager to get out of their houses, but not badly enough to get on a plane. The solution? A good old-fashioned road trip. As many states make travel rules less strict, they're encouraging people to move around within their home state to help increase local business. A road trip in one's vehicle allows for a sense of control and you know whose germs(細菌) are in your space.
The prioritization(優(yōu)先) of cleanliness
Travelers generally expect a clean hotel room when they arrive, and now expectations will be higher than ever. We're about to become concerned with cleanliness to the point that it could become the top priority of hotels, more so than comfortable beds and good service.
Checking list can show whether hosts are practicing strict new clean guidelines, including a24-hour waiting period between bookings.
The new appeal of nature
Travelers will be rightly nervous about crowds and anxious to avoid them That will result in an explosion of visitors to national parks and other places where crowds are less likely to be met with. This could be the start of the golden age of camping，as people want to get outside while keeping social distance.
_______________
Health is at the forefront of everyone's minds these days, and it is safe to say it'll stay therefore a long time yet. Meanwhile, people are sick of being indoors, so tourism is likely to reflect an increasing desire to promote good health while getting outside. Intrepid Travel's CEO James told The Times, "If 2020 proves to be a year we spend a lot of time indoors, 2021 will be about getting outdoors and getting active, with tours centred around things like cycling and hiking."
1. Taking a road trip is encouraged to__________
A. replace a tiring journey by air B. prevent germs from spreading

【2題詳解】
細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第四段“This could be the start of the golden age of camping，as people want to get outside while keeping social distance.（這可能是露營黃金時代的開始，因為人們想要外出，同時保持社交距離。）”可知，為避開擁擠，露營是一個不錯的選擇。故選C項。
【3題詳解】
主旨大意題。根據(jù)文章最后一段“Meanwhile, people are sick of being indoors, so tourism is likely to reflect an increasing desire to promote good health while getting outside.（與此同時，人們厭倦了待在室內(nèi)，所以旅游業(yè)很可能反映出人們越來越希望在戶外運動的同時促進健康。）”可知，最后一段主要介紹了健康旅游的增長。所以標題為“健康旅游的增長”。故選A項。

"We are running out of space and the only places to go to are other worlds. ... Spreading out may be the only thing that saves us from ourselves. I am convinced that humans need to leave Earth" These are the words of the famous scientist Stephen Hawking.
Hawking was not alone in this view. Many experts feel that the only way for humans to last far into the future is to colonize (殖民) other planets. That way, if an asteroid (小行星), a terrible discase, or some other disaster strikes Earth, we would still have a chance. Mars is one of the best choices. NASA, the private company SpaceX，and other organizations all have plans to send humans there. "Either we spread Earth to other planets, or we go out of existence,” SpaceX founder Elon Musk said.
But not everyone agrees that colonizing Mars or any other planet is such a great plan. The most common argument against going is that it's just too expensive or dangerous. It will take huge amounts of money and other resources just to get people there, let alone set up a place for them to live. It's not even clear if humans could survive on Mars.
Maybe all the time and money people would pour into a Mars task would be better spent on more important projects here on Earth, like dealing with poverty or climate change. Some experts argue that handling a problem like an asteroid strike or disease outbreak while staying here on Earth would be much easier and less expensive than surviving on a new planet. In addition, moving to a new planet could harm or destroy anything that already lives there. Mars seems uninhabited, but it could possibly host some life. Human visitors may destroy this life or change the Martian environment forever.
What do you think? Should humans colonize outer space or stay at home?
4. In writing Paragraph 1, the author aims to________
A. provide an explanation B. make a comparison
C. reach a conclusion D. introduce a topic
5. In Paragraph 2, many experts recommend colonizing Mars in order to ________.
A. protect humans from dying out
B. make Hawking's dream come true
C. seek more space for humans to live in
D. encourage different organizations to compete
6. For what reason are some scientists against colonizing Mars?
A. Out of space, out of mind. B. Money should be well spent.
C. East or west, home is the best. D. One should mind his own business.
7. What’s the author's attitude towards colonizing Mars?
A. Confident. B. Doubtful. C. Objective. D. Supportive.
【答案】4. D 5. A 6. B 7. C
【解析】

【4題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段“Spreading out may be the only thing that saves us from ourselves. I am convinced that humans need to leave Earth”（擴張或許是僅存的拯救我們自己的方式。我深信人類需要離開地球。）可知，文章開頭就通過Stephen Hawking的話引出話題：離開地球，去其他星球，故選D項。
【5題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段“That way, if an asteroid (小行星), a terrible discase, or some other disaster strikes Earth, we would still have a chance.”（如果一顆小行星或其他的災難襲擊地球，我們通過這種方式，仍將有機會存活。）可知，殖民火星是為了保護人類，以免人類滅絕，故選A項。
【6題詳解】
細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段“The most common argument against going is that it's just too expensive or dangerous.”（反對去其他星球的言論中最普遍的是：太貴和危險。）可知，因為太貴，太危險，所以一些科學家反對殖民火星，故選B項。
【7題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段“while staying here on Earth would be much easier and less expensive than surviving on a new planet.”（然而待在地球比在一個新星球上生存更容易，花費更少。）及“moving to a new planet could harm or destroy anything that already lives there.”（搬到新星球會傷害或毀滅那兒已經(jīng)存在的生命。）可知，作者以客觀的角度分析了是否移民火星這個問題，故選C項。
C
Which hand do you use to write your name? Which foot do you use to kick a ball? You probably use the same hand or foot. That's called your dominant side.
About 90 percent of humans are right-handed. Scientists want to know whether other animals also have dominant sides. So they give simple challenges to zoo animals and pets.
At first, chimpanzees（大猩猩） appeared to be left-handed. Dr. Hopkins watched chimpanzees as they went “ants fishing", using sticks to pull ants out. Most of the chimps did the job with their left hand. However, when chimpanzees ate butter from a narrow pipe, they tended to use the left hand to do the easy part (hold the pipe) and a finger on the right hand to do the hard part (reach in for the treat).
Does that mean chimpanzees are left-handed for some tasks and right-handed for others? That's not likely. Dr. Hopkins says the chimps may have used the weaker hand to pull out the ants and the dominant hand to hit the insects and put them in mouths.
But how about other animals? Dr. Wells wondered if cats are right- or left-pawed. At the beginning. he gave the cats the simple task of moving across the floor. The cats showed no preference; they used either paw. Dr. Wells also made the cats perform given movements. The researcher dropped a small fish into a can and wrote down which paw each cat used to fish out the treat. All of the female cats except one used the right paw. For males, 19 out of 21 used the left paw. Dr. Wells tested each cat many times to make sure it really preferred to use one paw instead of the other.
8. In Paragraph 1, the word "dominant" can be replaced by “_______”.
A. gentle B. powerful C. opposite D. unique
9. What can we learn from Dr. Hopkins' research?
A. Chimpanzees use right hands for tough tasks.
B. About 10 percent of humans are left-handed.
C. Chimpanzees get the treat with the weaker hands.
D. Left hands are more important in getting the butter out.
10. Dr. Wells probably agreed that ________.
A. moving across the floor was a challenging task for cats
B. various foods were necessary to carry out a scientific study
C. eats used different paws each time in the repeated tests
D. male and female cats had the opposite choice to get the fish
11. As to "whether other animals also have dominant sides", the two scientists _______.
A. saw eye to eye with each other
B. discovered it was not a simple yes or no
C. raised different animals to seek the truth
D. worked together to perform experiments
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. D 11. B
【解析】
本文是說明文。文章介紹了兩位科學家通過做實驗想證明是否存在控制動物使用左右手的主導性因素。
【8題詳解】
詞句猜測題。通過文章第一段對“dominant side”的解釋“Which hand do you use to write your name? Which foot do you use to kick a ball? You probably use the same hand or foot.（你用哪只手寫你的名字？你用哪只腳踢球？你可能用同樣的手或腳。）再根據(jù)根據(jù)第四段“Dr. Hopkins says the chimps may have used the weaker hand to pull out the ants and the dominant hand to hit the insects and put them in mouths.”可知，霍普金斯博士說，黑猩猩可能用較弱的那只手來拉出螞蟻，用有力量的那只手來擊打昆蟲，然后把它們放進嘴里?！笨芍癲ominant”可以替換為“powerful”，意為“強有力的”。故選B項。
【9題詳解】
細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第三段“However, when chimpanzees ate butter from a narrow pipe, they tended to use the left hand to do the easy part (hold the pipe) and a finger on the right hand to do the hard part (reach in for the treat).（然而，當黑猩猩從狹窄的管子里吃黃油時，他們傾向于用左手做容易的部分（握住管子），用右手的一根手指做難的部分（伸手去拿食物）。）”可知黑猩猩用右手做艱難的工作。故選A項。
【10題詳解】
細節(jié)理解題。通過文章最后一段“All of the female cats except one used the right paw. For males, 19 out of 21 used the left paw.（除一只外，所有的雌貓都用右爪子。對于雄貓來說，21只中有19只使用左爪子。）”可知雄貓和雌貓抓魚使用的爪子相反。故選D項。
【11題詳解】
推理判斷題。通過文章第四段“Does that mean chimpanzees are left-handed for some tasks and right-handed for others? That's not likely. Dr. Hopkins says the chimps may have used the weaker hand to pull out the ants and the dominant hand to hit the insects and put them in mouths.（這是否意味著黑猩猩在某些任務(wù)上是左撇子，而在其他任務(wù)上是右撇子？不太確定?；羝战鹚共┦空f，黑猩猩可能用較弱的手拉出螞蟻，用占優(yōu)勢的手擊打昆蟲并把它們放進嘴里。）”以及文章最后一句“Dr. Wells tested each cat many times to make sure it really preferred to use one paw instead of the other.（威爾斯博士對每只貓進行了多次測試，以確保它確實更喜歡用一只爪子而不是另一只爪子。）”可知對于“其他動物是否也有具有主導性因素”，兩位科學家認為這不能簡單確定是或否的問題。故選B項。
D
Hello! Wait! Don't run away. Yes, I know I am a roach. So, what's wrong with that?
You are speaking to the most successful species on the planet, you know! We've been around for 350 million years!
So what's the secret of our success? Sure, we've had plenty ofenemies. If you're small and full of protein, everything wants to eat you. So what did we do? We got quick, is what.

Some of the family get pretty strange That's Reginald. He thinks if he pretends to be a firefly, birds won't oat him. That's tough old Ant Elo. She worked for some scientists trying to figure out ways to get rid of us ...ha! Poison, radiation, heat, cold…whatever they throw at us, we just get tougher. Bring it on!
Aw, look. that's me just after my 15 brothers and sisters and I hatched （孵化) out from egg case. Yeah. I look pretty much the same. That's another roach wonder — we skip the larva stage(幼蟲期).Our eggs hatch all ready to roll! Still pretty cute, though.
Yep, that's how we got to be the most successful species on the planet!

She went to a beauty clinic to have plastic surgery on her nose."I want to make a good impression and start my university life with a brand-new look,"the 18-year-old told Changjiang Daily.

Besides the financial burden, potential health risks of plastic surgery also need to be considered.
＂If you have big problems with your look, you should wait until you are a full adult, and then decide if you want to do something about it,"Jiang said."Then,with a stable(穩(wěn)定的）mind,you can consider inner and outer beauty,and whether plastic surgery is for you.”

The beginnings of the four seasons were important festivals in ancient times. Before the Start of Winter,the ancient emperor would take a shower and have no more meat.On that day,the emperor would lead his officials to the countryside and"welcome the winter".
People eat dumplings on the beginning of winter.

Today there is still a saying that goes "Eat dumplings on Start of Winter Day, or your ears will be frostbitten.”

A Chinese TV play,The Long Night has enjoyed great popularity, getting a high score of 9.2/10 on Douban. Viewers all spoke highly of this drama, saying it is even better than the original work.

As TV series such as The Bad Kids, Nothing but Thirty and Horizon Tower are still popular, netizens become excited and think that domestic(國內(nèi)的）dramas are worthy of being followed. The Long Night, for example, makes people realize that everything can be easily imitated and copied except the understanding and search for aesthetics(美）. Imitated or copied dramas often have no soul.
However,quite a few Chinese dramas prefer repeating or copying the content and theme in other dramas or their own ones.
Daylight Entertainment produced Ode to Joy(歡樂頌） to reveal the happiness and sadness of city beauties,receiving many positive comments.However, after the reproduction of Ode to Joy 2,All Is Well,and If There's No Tomorrow,it was criticized by professionals and audience for stereotypical(刻板的）creation:"Pile up the hopes of one hundred people onto one person the hero looks just like a live complaining post in the forum,and other characters are tools to hunt him."
Twenty Your Life On and Nothing but Thirty give the audience an impression that they are completely "coming from the trending topics and living on the trending topics". One viewer commented "I am guessing the next plays will be Forty to Know the Mandate of Heaven,Fifty to Move on,and Sixty Still Young".
Taking a closer look at the works that have earned a place in the history of Chinese drama none of them is a copy or copycat. Besides, they are too good to be followed.
Now,many Chinese dramas are noticeably turning themselves back to the right track. Hopefully,a good drama will not be followed by a group of twins or siblings.
12. What does the author mainly want to do?
A. To introduce a number of TV plays.
B. To explain the process of drama producing.

D. Making a conclusion.
14. Which of the following is on the right track mentioned in the last paragraph according to the author?

B. If There's No Tomorrow
C. Nothing but Thirty
D. Sixty Still Young
15. On what basis should Chinese domestic dramas be improved according to the author?
A. imitation B. impression C. popularity D. creativity

這是一篇說明文。主要介紹了中國國產(chǎn)的電視劇復制和模仿某些好劇的現(xiàn)象很嚴重，并呼吁國產(chǎn)電視劇能夠有自己的創(chuàng)新，而不是一味地模仿某些好劇。
【12題詳解】
推理判斷題。由文章倒數(shù)第二段“Taking a closer look at the works that have earned a place in the history of Chinese drama none of them is a copy or copycat.（仔細看看那些在中國電視劇史上占有一席之地的作品，它們都不是復制品或山寨品）”以及最后一段 “Now, many Chinese dramas are noticeably turning themselves back to the right track. Hopefully, a good drama will not be followed by a group of twins or siblings. （如今，許多中國電視劇顯然正在重回正軌。希望一部好劇不會出現(xiàn)一群雙胞胎或兄弟姐妹）”可知，作者認為好的電視劇作品不應是去復制或模仿好劇，他希望一部好劇將不會出現(xiàn)一群模仿者。由此可推斷作者的意圖是期待國產(chǎn)劇的新趨勢，新改變。故選C項。
【13題詳解】
推理判斷題。由文章第三段“However, quite a few Chinese dramas prefer repeating or copying the content and theme in other dramas or their own ones.（然而，相當一部分中國電視劇傾向于重復或復制其他電視劇或自己的電視劇的內(nèi)容和主題。）”以及第四段“ However, after the reproduction of Ode to Joy 2, All Is Well, and If There's No Tomorrow, it was criticized by professionals and audience for stereotypical(刻板的）creation（然而，在《歡樂頌2》，《都挺好》，《我是余歡水》等復制劇播出之后，日光娛樂就被專業(yè)人士和觀眾批評為刻板的創(chuàng)作）”可知，文章第四段主要是舉例來說明、支持第三段“相當一部分中國戲劇喜歡重復或復制其他戲劇或自己的戲劇的內(nèi)容和主題”的觀點。故選C項。
【14題詳解】
推理判斷題。由文章最后一段“Now, many Chinese dramas are noticeably turning themselves back to the right track. Hopefully, a good drama will not be followed by a group of twins or siblings.（現(xiàn)在，許多中國電視劇明顯地回到了正軌。希望一部好劇之后，不會出現(xiàn)一群雙胞胎或兄弟姐妹）”可知，國產(chǎn)電視劇重回正軌（the right track）指一部好劇之后，不會出現(xiàn)一群模仿者，也就是好的電視劇要原創(chuàng)，有自己的獨特性，而不是一味模仿好劇。再結(jié)合第二段“The Long Night, for example, makes people realize that everything can be easily imitated and copied except the understanding and search for aesthetics（例如，《沉默的真相》使人們意識到，除了對美學的理解和追求之外，一切都可以很容易地模仿和復制）”可知，《沉默的真相》這部劇有著對美學的理解和追求，有自己的特色，并非一味復制其他的作品。由此可推斷A項表述符合“the right track”的說法，符合題意。故選A項。
【15題詳解】

If I waited, I would probably be saved in the end. But the chance of freezing（凍）to death before that happened was too high for me to risk staying put.

It took about two hours before a skier found me. The rescue team came,with my brother arriving shortly afterwards.
A helicopter (直升機）took me to hospital. I had broken one of my backbones,so I had an operation.The lasting pain was unbearable, but it wasn’t as bad as seeing the pain and worry I put my family through.

NASA has a new job listing,and it's no joke. The US space agency is looking for a"joker" to join their journey to Mars.
A journey to Mars is no laughing matter. On average, the red planet is 140 million miles away. A trip there would take around eight months in a small spaceship. As it is difficult to communicate, astronauts will have to wait 20 minutes for a reply when an emergency happens.
“When you're living with others in a confined space for a long time, such as on a mission to Mars, problems will happen,” said Jeffrey Johnson, a scientist at the University of Florida. This is probably why NASA wants an astronaut with a sense of humor. These people have the ability to pull everyone together.
In stressful situations, perhaps humor is a way to know we aren't alone. By laughing together, we share stress, Then we can focus on our jobs instead of just worrying.
There are other examples of team “jokers”. One example is the journey to the South Pole led by Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen, Adolf, a cook at Amundsen' s team, was "joker". He made people laugh through the whole difficult and dangerous journey, Amundsen later wrote that Adolf was the most valuable member of the team.
But if you're hoping that your favorite TV comedian will fly to Mars, that probably won't happen. “Being funny won't be enough to land somebody the job,” Johnson said. “They also need to be an excellent scientist and engineer.” Besides, they must be in top physical condition.
8. Who might get the job offered by NASA?
A. A good cook. B. A talented joker.
C A humorous engineer. D. A popular comedian.
9. What does "a confined space" in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. a small space B. an open space C. a secure space D. an empty space
10. How does the author think humor can help astronauts?
A. Reminding them of their family. B. Bringing them closer on a journey.
C. Helping them know themselves better. D. Helping them fix professional problems.
11. Why does the author mention the example of the cook?
A. To show the importance of their food.
B. To prove the role of humor in difficult situations.
C. To argue an actor is more important than a scientist.
D. To explain a journey to the South Pole matters a lot.

【9題詳解】
詞義猜測題。根據(jù)畫線詞后的“such as on a mission to Mars,”可知，在執(zhí)行火星任務(wù)時，幾個宇航員要在航天器里生活很多天，而航天器里的空間是非常狹小的，此處是說“當你和別人在一個狹小的空間里生活很長一段時間，比如執(zhí)行火星任務(wù)時，很可能會出現(xiàn)問題”，由此可知畫線詞指的是“狹小的空間”，故選A。
【10題詳解】
細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段“This is probably why NASA wants an astronaut with a sense of humor. These people have the ability to pull everyone together.(這可能就是為什么美國宇航局想要一個有幽默感的宇航員。這些人有能力把大家團結(jié)起來)”可知，作者認為幽默可以通過在旅途中拉近宇航員們之間的距離幫助到宇航員。故選B。
【11題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段“In stressful situations, perhaps humor is a way to know we aren't alone. By laughing together, we share stress, Then we can focus on our jobs instead of just worrying.(在有壓力的情況下，幽默可能是一種讓我們知道自己并不孤單的方式。通過一起笑，我們分享壓力，然后我們可以專注于我們的工作，而不僅僅是擔心)”以及第五段“There are other examples of team “jokers”. One example is the journey to the South Pole led by Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen, Adolf, a cook at Amundsen' s team, was "joker". He made people laugh through the whole difficult and dangerous journey, Amundsen later wrote that Adolf was the most valuable member of the team.(還有其他團隊“小丑”的例子。挪威探險家羅爾德·阿蒙森帶領(lǐng)的南極之旅就是一個例子。阿道夫是阿蒙森探險隊的一名廚師，他被稱為“愛開玩笑的人”。阿蒙森在整個艱難而危險的旅程中都讓人捧腹大笑，阿道夫是團隊中最有價值的成員)”可推知，作者提到了廚師的例子是為了證明幽默在困難情況下的作用。故選B。
D
Now, cities large and small often have remains of earlier historic streets and sidewalk pavements(人行道）。Yet they often go unprotected even when they may be older than neighbouring historic buildings that have enjoyed protection for tens of years.

There are many reasons to protect historic pavements - culture value, economics, environmental benefits and public safety. Pavements represented an important step in the modernization of city environments in the 19th century.
Before the laying of pavement, streets of dirt caused many problems to citizens,especially in wet weather when they became muddy(泥濘的），which limited the movement of people and vehicles.
To solve the problem,cities experimented with a wide range of materials in an attempt to balance durability(耐用性），economics,sources of materials and noise considerations.
The earliest pavement in many cities were cobblestones-naturally rounded stones.They were cheap and durable, but rough and noisy. Loose stone pavements were cheap and smooth, but not very durable. Wood also appeared in the 1850s as a popular option-smooth,quiet and affordable,but not very durable.
In many cities and towns,brick(磚）streets are the only historic pavements that have survived.This fact covers up the truth of pavement experimentation between the 1850s and 1920s, when a city could use up to a dozen different paving materials at the same time! Indeed, each city developed a unique "pavement identity” in the materials chosen and the way they were laid.
It is easy to think of the past when seeing historic pavements, as recalling “old world” city qualities. However, they are more similar to the early high buildings and parks-important city features that showed the modernization of the city. At a time when cities are becoming increasingly.similar, such pavements also help define an important sense of place.
12. What is the present situation of historic pavements?
A. Failing to represent modem environments.
B. Failing to receive protection they should get.
C. Being brought back to its former glory.
D. Being highly valued as cultural buildings.
13. Why was the first pavement built in history?
A. To help develop the local economy.
B. To prevent earth from being washed away.
C. To limit the movement of people and vehicles.
D. To bring convenience to citizens' life.
14. What is mainly talked about in Paragraphs 4-6?
A. Popularity of different paving materials.
B. Different experiments on city identity.
C. Advantages and disadvantages of stone pavements.
D. Development of pavements of different materials.
15. What does the writer want to express about historic pavements in the last paragraph?
A. They are similar to tall buildings.
B. They make cities appear similar.
C They are unique of a particular place.
D. They represent the modernization of today's city.

細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段“Before the laying of pavement, streets of dirt caused many problems to citizens,especially in wet weather when they became muddy(泥濘的），which limited the movement of people and vehicles.”（在鋪人行道之前，泥濘的街道給市民造成了很多問題，尤其是在潮濕的天氣它們變得泥濘的時候，這限制了人和車輛的行動），可知本段論述了沒有人行道的狀況，道路泥濘阻礙出行，那么反推得出修建人行道就是為了解決通行問題，便利生活，故選D。
【14題詳解】
主旨大意題。 根據(jù)文章第四段“To solve the problem,cities experimented with a wide range of materials in an attempt to balance durability(耐用性），economics,sources of materials and noise considerations.”（為了解決這個問題，各城市實驗了各種各樣的材料，試圖在耐用性，經(jīng)濟，材料來源和噪音之間找到平衡），再根據(jù)第五段和第六段，分別講述了天然鵝卵石，裸石，及磚塊各自的優(yōu)缺點，可知，這三段主要講人行道上的不同材料的發(fā)展。故選D。

If a president, a philosopher, and ,and one of the best-selling authors of all time praised the same secret for their success, would you try to follow it too? In fact, you probably do it every day. Here's what Friedrich Nietzsche wrote: “It is only ideas gained from walking that have any worth." Thomas Jefferson:“Walking is the best possible exercise. Adapt yourself to walking very far." I totally agree that this habit isn't a habit but a necessary factor of creative process.
Are you still sitting there reading this? Get walking!
The movement aspect of walking is obvious key.You've probably heard the phrase- exercise your creativity, which refers to the brain as muscle.Our creative mindset(思維模式） is triggered(觸發(fā)）by physical movement, which is exactly why walking-with your dog, a friend, or alone-helps creative thinking.Researchers have discovered a lot of connections between walking and producing ideas.A Stanford University study found that participants(參與者），were 81% more creative when walking as opposed to sitting.
Besides, the scenery is almost as important as the sweat. Walking can be a catalyst for gaining fresh understanding of problems. Just by going outside,you are stepping out of your familiar surroundings and your comfort zone, which is necessary if your want to open your mind to new possibilities.You can walk through a tree-filled neighborhood. You can walk through a park and observe people hanging around or birds singing. Even when you walk down a busy street,you can't help but notice the sweet smells flowing from a food cart or the child pointing to a building you hadn't even paid attention to before.
Finally, our brains work harder to process in different environments, so walking outside strengthen our ability to collect new ideas, to take in new sights, sounds and smells."Forest bathing",is a common form of relaxation and medicine in Japan.Recent studies show that being in the forest Towers your stress levels. The effects are so powerful that "Forest bathing" is now a government-proved policy in Japan., But you don't have to live near a a forest to receive the psychological(心理的）benefits.Research has shown that immersion(沉浸）in nature,and the disconnection from multimedia and technology increase performance on a creative problem-solving task by a full 50%.
So instead of setting a fitness goal, why not set a creativity goal that starts with walking, Engage more closely with your surroundings.Turn off your phone and give yourself the chance to hear conversations and natural sounds, to notice the way people move ,the way the sun reflects in a puddle.Walk not just for exercise. Walk for wonder.

【7題詳解】
猜測詞義題。定位到劃線句“Walking can be a catalyst for gaining fresh understanding of problems.”中詞“catalyst"的主語是walking，劃線詞是個名詞用來形容walking，后面跟的是對于新問題的認識。本句后面“Just by going outside, you are stepping out of your familiar surroundings and your comfort zone,…observe people hanging around or birds singing. Even when you walk down a busy street, you can't help but notice the sweet smells flowing from a food cart or the child pointing to a building you hadn't even paid attention to before.( 只要到外面去，你就走出了你熟悉的環(huán)境和你的舒適區(qū)，…觀察周圍的人或鳥兒唱歌。即使你走在一條繁忙的街道上，你也會情不自禁地注意到食物車里飄來的甜味，或者孩子指著一棟你以前根本沒注意過的建筑)”可知，后面的內(nèi)容就是你散步帶來的好處。由此可推斷出“Walking can be a catalyst for gaining fresh understanding of problems”，是指“散步對于你獲得對新問題的新認識是推動劑，一個催化劑”。分析選項：A. Promoter促進劑，催化劑；B. Cure治愈，對策；C. Hope希望；D. Must絕對必要的事。分析選項可知， promoter符合語境。故選A。

推理判斷題。第一段最后一句“I totally agree that this habit isn't a habit but a necessary factor of creative process.（我完全同意這種散步習慣不是一種習慣，而是創(chuàng)造過程中的一個必要因素。）”。第三段中“The movement aspect of walking is obvious key. You've probably heard the phrase- exercise your creativity, which refers to the brain as muscle.Our creative mindset(思維模式） is triggered by physical movement, which is exactly why walking-with your dog, a friend, or alone-helps creative thinking（散步的動作方面顯然很關(guān)鍵。你可能聽過“鍛煉你的創(chuàng)造力”這句話，它指的是大腦肌肉。我們的創(chuàng)造性思維是由身體運動觸發(fā)的，這正是為什么和你的狗，一個朋友一起散步，或者獨自一人有助于創(chuàng)造思考。）”最后一段“So instead of setting a fitness goal, why not set a creativity goal that starts with walking（因此，與其設(shè)定一個健身目標，不如設(shè)定一個創(chuàng)意目標，從走路開始）”。綜合以上內(nèi)容可推斷，作者反復強調(diào)walk，且將其和創(chuàng)造相關(guān)聯(lián)，也就是作者倡導散步去思考去創(chuàng)造。故選C。
【10題詳解】
主旨大意題。本文第一段是主旨。第一段中Here's what Friedrich Nietzsche wrote: “It is only ideas gained from walking that have any worth." Thomas Jefferson: “Walking is the best possible exercise. Adapt yourself to walking very far." I totally agree that this habit isn't a habit but a necessary factor of creative process（弗里德里?！つ岵蓪懙溃骸爸挥袕纳⒉街蝎@得的想法才有價值?！蓖旭R斯·杰斐遜：“散步是最好的鍛煉。我完全同意這種習慣不是一種習慣，而是創(chuàng)造過程中的一個必要因素。）。作者引用兩位名人的話后，下文主要圍繞在大自然中散步的好處，散步除了健身之外的另一大好處，即會培養(yǎng)創(chuàng)造力。由此可推斷出本文主要敘述了在大自然散步的好處。故選A。

Since it was first published in 1843, the novella (短篇故事）A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens has been loved by millions of people, and perhaps has inspired them to love more and give more. It has been adapted for theatre, television and film. Dickens is known as the best author of the Victorian times writing on social issues affecting his times, such as poverty, child labour and urban development, especially in London where he lived.
Charles Dickens was no strangers to poverty. His father had been thrown in prison for debt in 1824, and he had been removed from school and put to work as the second oldest child of eight children.
Only 12 years old and no longer able to attend school, he spent his time putting labels on pots of black polish. ①
How lonely and worthless he felt there! All his hopes and dreams of making something of his life were ended. It seemed not an adult in the world cared for his hopes or his abilities, not even his own parents.He wondered "how he could be so easily thrown away at such a young age"②
Dickens' father was set free from prison after a year,and Dickens was put back into school for three years until he had to leave again to work as an office boy. Eventually, he started writing stories for the papers.With money coming in and then children,Charles had taken a mortgage(抵押貸款）on a big house.His next novel was not as well received and his future payments were cut. Charles needed to make money and he needed to make it fast. Criticism (批評） of his new novel hurt his confidence;it is not easy to write when you are down and struggling. He needed new ideas and inspiration,but he was running out of time.
③
As he walked the streets after dark, through what he called the “black streets”of London, he again saw the poor ,who had little food or warmth in the cold weather , and the closed-up houses, like the doors of the hearts of many who do not want to love and give. ④
He happened to find the idea of a Christmas story that could show this-and warm the hearts of the poor and open the hearts of the selfish. He needed to write fast and that is probably why we only have a novella, but a novella was enough to share his story. He filled the story with character and scenes which he had already written about in his other stories, Scrooge, the main character,is a selfish self-centred man who hates Christmas the tine of giving . His late business partner, also a greedy man, comes back from the dead as a ghost to warn Scrooge.You will need to read the story yourself to see how Scrooge finally changes his ways.
The plan to rescue himself financially also rescued Dickens emotionally. As he wrote about Christmas and the wonderful time of gift giving,family gathering,carol singing and feast sharing, his own heart was cheered and he remembered those things that really mattered to him He loved writing the book and produced a special story,which is still loved around the world. New inspiration and fresh confidence set Dickens on a new path to success.
11. What difficulties was Dickens faced with when writing A Christmas Carol?
A. Lack of time and education.

D Lack of inspiration and confidence.
12. Where should the sentence “It was the loneliest time of his life.”be put in the passage？

【解析】
本文為說明文。文章主要介紹了中篇小說《圣誕頌歌》的作者查爾斯·狄更斯及其寫作背景。
【11題詳解】
細節(jié)理解題。由文章第五段“His next novel was not as well received and his future payments were cut. … Criticism (批評） of his new novel hurt his confidence;it is not easy to write when you are down and struggling. He needed new ideas and inspiration,…（他的下一部小說的收視率不高，他未來的報酬也被削減了?！瓕λ男滦≌f的批評傷害了他的自信心；當你情緒低落和掙扎的時候，寫作是不容易的。他需要新的想法和靈感，…）”可知，由于他的下一部小說沒有那么受歡迎，他還受到了批判，這損害了他的自信，并且心情低落，導致他沒有什么新的想法和靈感，這些都阻礙了他創(chuàng)作這部小說。由此可知D項符合題意，故選D。
【12題詳解】
推理判斷題。題干中的“It was the loneliest time of his life.”意思是“那是他這一生最孤獨的時刻”，通讀文章“How lonely and worthless he felt there! All his hopes and dreams of making something of his life were ended. It seemed not an adult in the world cared for his hopes or his abilities, not even his own parents.He wondered "how he could be so easily thrown away at such a young age"”可知，他在那里感到多么孤獨和無用啊!他所有想要有所作為的希望和夢想都破滅了。這世上似乎沒有一個成年人關(guān)心他的希望和能力，甚至他的父母也不關(guān)心。他不明白“ 他怎么這么小就被拋棄了”正好對應文章②處前面，該段即是描述狄更斯不能上學后，進行枯燥的工作時他感受到的孤獨，lonely對應loneliest，該段首尾呼應，本句應放在B處，故選B。
【13題詳解】
推斷判斷題。由文章倒數(shù)第二段“Scrooge, the main character, is a selfish self-centred man who hates Christmas the tine of giving. His late business partner, also a greedy man, comes back from the dead as a ghost to warn Scrooge.You will need to read the story yourself to see how Scrooge finally changes his ways.主人公斯克魯奇是一個自私、自我為中心的人，他討厭圣誕節(jié)——贈送禮物的時刻。他已故的商業(yè)伙伴，也是一個貪婪的人，死后作為一個幽靈回來警告斯克魯奇。你需要自己去讀這個故事，看看斯克魯奇最終是如何改變自己的方式的。）”可知，《圣誕頌歌》這本書講述的是Scrooge，一個極度自私的人是如何改變自己的。再結(jié)合該段前面“He happened to find the idea of a Christmas story that could show this-and warm the hearts of the poor and open the hearts of the selfish…（他碰巧發(fā)現(xiàn)了一個《圣誕》故事的想法，可以顯示這一點，溫暖窮人的心，打開自私的心扉…）”可推斷出，這本書主旨大意是“溫暖窮人的心，打開自私者的心扉”，可以推斷出Scrooge最終成為了一個慷慨善良的人。故選C。
【14題詳解】
推斷判斷題。由文章最后一段“The plan to rescue himself financially also rescued Dickens emotionally. As he wrote about Christmas and the wonderful time of gift giving,family gathering,carol singing and feast sharing, his own heart was cheered and he remembered those things that really mattered to him ... New inspiration and fresh confidence set Dickens on a new path to success.（在經(jīng)濟上自救的計劃也在情感上拯救了狄更斯。當他描寫圣誕節(jié)以及贈送禮物、家庭聚會、唱頌歌和分享盛宴的美好時光時，他的心受到了鼓舞，他想起了那些對他真正重要的事情。……新的靈感和新的信心使狄更斯走上了一條通往成功的新道路。）”可知，《圣誕頌歌》這本書在許多方面拯救了狄更斯，他被這本書鼓舞，開創(chuàng)了一個新的創(chuàng)作之路，并且使他走向成功) ”，由此推斷，這本書重要的原因在于它是狄更斯創(chuàng)作生涯的一個轉(zhuǎn)折點。故選B.
【15題詳解】
推理判斷題。由全文來看，文章重點描寫了狄更斯創(chuàng)作《圣誕頌歌》的背景，這本書的內(nèi)容、主旨和意義，《圣誕頌歌》這本書從始至終貫穿全文，所以作者的目地是為介紹這本書，故選D。

Drug development is a risky and costly business. Many possibly effective drugs fail to cut the mustard during the experiments. One reason is that drugs which work on lab animals may not work quite so well in human tests. Being able to pick winners and losers as early as possible would save money, and the One Health Company thinks it may have found a way. It is offering to help medical groups test their cancer drugs on sick pets.
There are several benefits. By treating animals with existing cancers, it hopes to avoid a problem with modern animal research, which is that the “model” animals and diseases that are used to test drugs are not always good stand-ins (替身) for the natural illness. For example, mice used to test cancer drugs may have had their tumours (腫瘤) placed into their bodies, or their immune systems weakened with drugs.
Another plus is that pet owners tend to be great caretakers who are very knowledgeable about their four-legged friends and are likely to report even small changes in behaviors. Lab animals are checked far less often.
Perhaps the most useful aspect of using pets for drug experiments, however, is that there is no law on animals’ medical records. One Health has been able to get 98% of records on animals from hospitals—a number that is impossible for humans. That allows the company to find the right animals for a drug experiment.
Based on the benefits above, the company hopes that pets will prove useful in other diseases in addition to cancers. Horses, for example, seem to be good stand-ins for humans when it comes to arthritis (關(guān)節(jié)炎). Cats, meanwhile, may prove instructive in breast cancer research.
4. What do the underlined words “cut the mustard” in Paragraph1 probably mean?
A. Meet the requirements. B. Reduce the pain.
C. Affect the test results. D. Tell the differences.
5. Which of the following is NOT a benefit of One Health’s idea?
A. It makes sure the animals with natural diseases are used.
B. It makes sure the model animals are checked regularly.
C. It makes sure most animals’ medical records are available.
D. It makes sure the model animals are in healthy condition.
6. What’s the main idea of this passage?
A. How to help sick pets at a low price. B. How to improve drug experiments.
C. How to save the drug business. D. How to treat some pet diseases.
7. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage?
A. B. C. D.
【答案】4. A 5. D 6. B 7. C

本文是一篇說明文，講述了One Health公司找到了一種新的方法，幫助醫(yī)療團體在生病的寵物身上測試他們的抗癌藥物，并介紹了這種方法的好處。
【4題詳解】
詞義猜測題。根據(jù)文章第一段One reason is that drugs which work on lab animals may not work quite so well in human tests. ”（其中一個原因是，在實驗室動物身上有效的藥物在人體試驗中可能沒有那么有效。）可知，在試驗中，許多可能有效果的藥物并沒有達到要求。cut the mustard意思為：達到要求。故選A項。
5題詳解】
細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第二段“By treating animals with existing cancers, it hopes to avoid a problem with modern animal research, which is that the “model” animals and diseases that are used to test drugs are not always good stand-ins for the natural illness.”（通過治療患有癌癥的動物,它希望避免用現(xiàn)代動物研究的一個問題,那就是“模型”動物和疾病用來測試藥物并不總是對于自然疾病的替補。）可知，一個好處是能確保試驗中使用了患有自然疾病的動物來研究；根據(jù)文章第三段“Another plus is that pet owners tend to be great caretakers who are very knowledgeable about their four-legged friends and are likely to report even small changes in behaviors.”（另一個好處是，寵物主人往往是很好的照顧者，他們非常了解他們的四條腿的朋友，甚至可能報告行為上的微小變化。）可知，第二個好處是確保模型動物能夠規(guī)律地被檢查；根據(jù)文章第四段“ One Health has been able to get 98% of records on animals from hospitals—a number that is impossible for humans.”（One Health已經(jīng)能夠從醫(yī)院獲得98%的動物記錄——這個數(shù)字對人類來說是不可能的。）可知，第三個好處是確保大多數(shù)動物的藥物記錄可以獲得。三個好處中沒有提到能保證模型動物的健康條件，D不是其中之一。故選D項。
【6題詳解】
主旨大意題。根據(jù)文章第一段“One Health Company thinks it may have found a way. It is offering to help medical groups test their cancer drugs on sick pets.”（One Health公司認為他們可能已經(jīng)找到了一種方法。它提供幫助給醫(yī)療團體在生病的寵物身上測試他們的抗癌藥物。）可知，本文主要講述了如何在動物身上提高藥物試驗的效果。故選B項。

Dear Mary,
I’m a young professional working for a company. I’ve been in the same workplace for a couple of years, and there are many things I love about it.
A few months ago, however, I got a new boss. He never gave me positive feedback, but leaned over my shoulder and disliked everything I did. When I tried talking to him about my concerns, he suggested I give up.
The stress being too much to bear, I moved to another job in the same company. While the pay was lower, it would allow me to take some classes to improve myself.
Here’s the problem. At the beginning, I agreed to help with small tasks from my old department while it searched for my replacement(接替者). But it seems that my old boss isn’t actively searching. I am still under as much stress as I was working for him full time, but now I’m getting less pay.
How do I deal with this situation without jeopardizing my new position, which fits my education schedule so well?
Rose
Dear Rose,
You have probably realized that it was a mistake to make such an open-ended offer. You should have suggested helping out with certain tasks for a certain period of time, which would have made your old boss replace you timely.
Now here’re two ways. First, communicate what’s going on to your new boss. Don’t make it a huge complaint, just be matter-of-fact. You thoughtfully offered to help your old department through a transitional(過渡的) period for the good of the company—but you can’t keep doing two jobs forever, and you want to focus on doing the best you can in your new role. Your new boss needs to know that this is happening—and, frankly, should immediately step in to handle the matter without further discussion.
Second, you should say no if necessary. The next time your old boss asks you to do something, tell him that while you are happy to help him, you must give your new job your full attention.
Remember you’re not complaining, or starting a fight; you simply have the company’s best interests in mind. Your old department needs to move on—and you need to do your new job.
Mary

A. She’s getting on badly with her new boss.
B. She’s getting less pay for her new job.
C. She’s overworking for her old boss.
D. She’s losing interest in her new job.
9. What does the underlined word “jeopardizing” in Rose’s letter probably mean?
A. Preventing. B. Damaging. C. Benefiting. D. Refusing.
10. By the underlined sentence in Mary’s letter, what is Rose probably regretful about?
A. Accepting tasks without certain limits. B. Asking for too much from the company.
C. Refusing many tasks from the new boss. D. Losing her job from the old department.
11. Which of the following does Mary recommend?
A. Balancing the old and new jobs. B. Making more huge complaints.
C. Saying no to any given tasks. D. Having open communication.
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. A 11. D

本篇是應用文。分別是一封求助信和一封建議信，Rose苦于之前的上司仍然給她安排很多工作，可她又不懂拒絕而向Mary求助；Mary寫信建議Rose應該多和新上司溝通并且懂得委婉拒絕舊上司的要求。

細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Rose郵件的第四段“Here’s the problem. At the beginning, I agreed to help with small tasks from my old department while it searched for my replacement(接替者).

I am still under as much stress as I was working for him full time, but now I’m getting less pay.”（問題就在這里。一開始，我同意在我的老部門尋找我的替代者的時候幫他們做一些小事。但看來我的舊上司并沒有積極尋找。我仍然承受著和為他做全職工作時一樣大的壓力，但是現(xiàn)在我的工資減少了。）可知，Rose面臨的問題是，她為舊上司承擔了太多的工作。故選C項。
【9題詳解】
詞句猜測題。根據(jù)Rose郵件的最后一段“How do I deal with this situation without jeopardizing my new position, which fits my education schedule so well?（我該如何在不jeopardizing我的新工作的情況下處理這種情況呢? 我的新工作非常適合我的學習計劃。）”可知，Mary的新工作很適合她的學習計劃，因此可以猜測，她想在不影響損害新工作的前提下去解決舊上司分配太多工作任務(wù)的問題?！癹eopardizing”意思是損害，A. Preventing阻止；B. Damaging損害；C. Benefiting 受益；D. Refusing 拒絕 。故選B項。
【10題詳解】
詞句猜測題。根據(jù)下文“You should have suggested helping out with certain tasks for a certain period of time, which would have made your old boss replace you timely.（你本應該在一段時間內(nèi)提出幫助別人完成某些任務(wù)的建議，這樣你的前任老板就會及時地換掉你。）”可知，Rose本應該對完成舊上司分配的工作任務(wù)這件事提出時間限制，可她沒有，才導致后面很多壓力，因此Rose應該是后悔之前無止境地接受舊上司分配的任務(wù)。故選A項。
【11題詳解】
細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Mary的郵件第二段“First, communicate what’s going on to your new boss.”和第三段“The next time your old boss asks you to do something, tell him that while you are happy to help him, you must give your new job your full attention.”可知，Mary建議Rose應該和新老板交流正在遇到的情況，對舊上司也要委婉地說明她正遇到的困境。所以Mary的建議是開誠布公地交流。故選D項。
D
One thing the army did well was keep you busy but I was lucky enough to get some time off. They asked me where I wanted to go and there was only one place I had in mind...Ireland. Wouldn’t you want to go back home? Yes of course but I wanted to visit a person that I hadn’t seen for a long time. This person was an extremely close friend. That didn’t even begin to describe the relationship I had with her. She had her heart set on going out of the country for college and I supported her 100%. When I told her I wanted to join the army, she wasn’t exactly excited, but when I explained that school wasn’t for me and I wanted to see the world while also being in the service, she understood.
I left for the camp in the late months of summer. I knew that the day had come and this might be the last time I’d seen her. I wasn’t ready for it. Neither was she. She drove me to the airport, helped me check in, and got ready to leave. Then she stood at the bottom of the stairs and I was going to go up. Cry didn’t fully grasp the idea of what happened, but there was definitely lots of crying. When I finally got there, I took one look back and saw that big shining smile of hers, shedding my last tear.
That was the last time but now I was on a plane to meet her, in an airport, in Ireland. I knew nothing about the place except that it was green. I was still dressed in my fatigues (軍服) as required. The probably native Irish people gave me a thank-you nod. Even though I didn’t wear their flag, they knew I was keeping them safe.
As I got off the plane, I couldn’t help asking myself. What if she didn’t recognize me? What if she wasn’t here? What if what if what if? That’s all I could tell myself on the way to get my bag. When I had my bag I started to walk towards the stairs. I stopped at the top and asked myself the last time, what if? Then I went down the stairs, looking around, nervous, but also scared. Then I saw it — that big shining smile that left me years ago, and it was staring right back at me.
12. How did the girl feel at first when she heard the writer would join the army?
A. Ashamed. B. Excited. C. Disappointed. D. Nervous.
13. What does the writer try to show in Paragraph 2?
A. How sad he was to leave the girl. B. How eager he was to see the girl soon.
C. How happy the girl was to see him off. D. How unwilling he was to join the army.
14. Why does the writer use so many “what if”s in Paragraph 4?
A. To show his regret about meeting the girl.
B. To show his doubt about their relationship.
C. To show his concern for the girl’s condition.
D. To show his curiosity about the girl’s looks.
15. What will the writer probably write about in the following paragraph?
A. His pride in serving in the army. B. His fond memories with the girl.
C. His romantic meeting with the girl. D. His impression of the native Irish.
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. B 15. C
【解析】
本文是一篇記敘文。文章主要描述作者休假探親，去愛爾蘭探訪自己的女朋友，并回憶了自己當初離開去當兵時的情形，又描述了探親路上自己內(nèi)心的忐忑。
【12題詳解】
細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段最后兩句“She had her heart set on going out of the country for college and I supported her 100%. When I told her I wanted to join the army, she wasn’t exactly excited, but when I explained that school wasn’t for me and I wanted to see the world while also being in the service, she understood. (她一心想離開這個國家去讀大學，我百分百支持她。當我告訴她我想去當兵時，她并沒有很興奮，但是當我解釋說學校不適合我并且我想在服兵役期間看看這個世界，她理解了我)”可知，女孩本來想讓作者跟她一樣讀書的，但是作者告訴她說他想當兵，女孩第一反應是失望。故選C。
【13題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段“I wasn’t ready for it. Neither was she. (我沒有準備好，她也沒有準備好)”以及“When I finally got there, I took one look back and saw that big shining smile of hers, shedding my last tear. (當我最終到達那里時（走到樓梯盡頭），我回頭看到她面帶微笑，我流下了最后一滴眼淚)”可知，作者離開時很不舍，很難過。故選A。
【14題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段“I wanted to visit a person that I hadn’t seen for a long time. This person was an extremely close friend.

(當我下了飛機，我忍不住問自己。如果她不認識我了怎么辦？如果她不在那里了怎么辦？如果……怎么辦？……)”可知，雖然以前關(guān)系很親密，但已經(jīng)很久不見，作者對自己一連串的發(fā)問，來表達作者內(nèi)心的不安，和對他和這個女孩之間關(guān)系的不確定。故選B。
【15題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段最后一句“Then I saw it — that big shining smile that left me years ago, and it was staring right back at me. (然后我看見了它——那個幾年前的燦爛的微笑，并且它就那樣盯著我)”可知，女孩露出了送作者離開時的微笑，證明女孩沒有變心，那么接下來作者跟女孩一定有一個浪漫的約會。故選C。

The universe likes to be shy about its age,but astronomers believe they have a pretty good idea of the range.Currently,the most widely accepted age for the universe is around 13.8 billion years,but determining the age of...well,everything,is no easy feat(功績）.Now.new studies have investigated the question using different methods-and they've come up with two different answers,separated by more than a billion years.
Because the universe is expanding at an accelerating pace,the further away an object is,the faster it appears to be moving away from us.This is expressed as the Hubble constant（哈勃常數(shù)），and it's a key factor in figuring out the age of the universe.After all.if we can determine how fast objects moving away from us,we can rewind that process to its beginning-the Big Bang.Researchers from the University of Oregon set out to map the distance to dozens of galaxies The team calculated that the universe is only 12.6 billion years old-that,you might notice is much younger than the 13.8 years usually stated.
In the second study,the method of figuring out the age of the universe is by mapping the oldest light we can detect.We are restoring the' baby photo' of the universe to its original condition, removing the wear and tear of time and space that distorted(扭曲）the image, says Neelima Sehgal, co-author on the study.Only by seeing this sharper baby photo or image of the universe can we more fully understand how our universe was born."In doing so, the researcher determined that the universe is 13.8 billion years old-in agreement with the accepted age.
The real problem though,is that the studies disagree so wildly with each other, to the tune of a billion years.But they are not the only ones-the battle lines are commonly drawn by the methods used. Obviously.more research is heeded to determine where the truth lies.
24. What do we know about the universe from the first two paragraphs?
A. It doesn't exist long. B. It becomes larger. C. It runs away. D. It causes the Big Bang.
25. What makes the researchers in the first study think the universe is much younger?
A. The speed of moving objects.
B. The number of galaxies.
C. The process of the universe evolution.
D. The distance to other objects.
26. How does Neelima Sehgal explain their method in the second study?
A. By referring to a similar thing.
B. By using hard scientific data.
C. By introducing a new concept.
D. By quoting an expert's words.
27. Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Whose method is better?
B. Which result can you believe?
C. How old is the universe?
D. Why is the universe so old?
【答案】24. B 25. D 26. A 27. C
【解析】
這是一篇說明文。文章主要講述宇宙的壽命。
24題詳解】
細節(jié)理解題。由題干要求定位開頭兩段，由第二段第一句“Because the universe is expanding at an accelerating pace,the further away an object is,the faster it appears to be moving away from us.(因為宇宙以加速的速度擴大，一個物體越遠，它看起來就移動得離我們越遠)”可知，宇宙變得更大。故選B項。
【25題詳解】
推理判斷題。第一個研究，回歸到第二段，根據(jù)第二段中“Researchers from the University of Oregon set out to map the distance to dozens of galaxies. The team calculated that the universe is only 12.6 billion years old(來自俄勒岡大學的研究者開始著手繪制到幾十個星系的距離圖。這個團隊計算出宇宙只有126億歲)”可知，是到其他天體的距離使第一個研究中的研究者認為宇宙更年輕。故選D項。
【26題詳解】
推理判斷題。由題干要求：”NS如何解釋研究二的方法?” 結(jié)合原文第三段第二句話“We are restoring the' baby photo' of the universe to its original condition, removing the wear and tear of time and space that distorted(扭曲）the image, says Neelima Sehgal, co-author on the study.(這個研究的聯(lián)合作者Neelima Sehgal說，我們正在修復宇宙的‘嬰兒照片’至原本的狀態(tài)，移除使形象扭曲的時間及空間的衣服和眼淚)”可知，Neelima Sehgal用一個給嬰兒擦眼淚和脫衣服的比喻，比喻最早產(chǎn)生的光在宇宙中變化的逆過程，所以Neelima Sehgal引用了一個相似的事物進行了比喻。故選A項。
【27題詳解】
主旨大意題。本篇為科學研究文，文章結(jié)構(gòu)是總-分-總，主旨一般在首段。結(jié)合第一段第一句“The universe likes to be shy about its age,but astronomers believe they have a pretty good idea of the range.(宇宙羞于談及年齡，但是天文學家們相信，他們很清楚這個范圍)”及currently,….,separated by more than a billion year.可知，文章主要講述人們采取不同方法測得的宇宙壽命不同。所以C項“宇宙多大年紀？”適合作為文章標題，故選C項。
C
Did you know that the average child has heard the word "no" over 20,000 times before they turn the age of three? Ironically, it is also around this time that children begin to develop enough personal character to refuse to obey. The "terrible twos" are categorized by a lack of understanding. Somewhere between three and four, children begin to acquire the skills to reason. It is during this time they watch how other children and adults reason. If we're not careful, the children will watch us model a world of "NOs"。
By the time a person turns eighteen, how many times have they been told no? I haven't found any studies that even attempted to track this statistic, but I'm sure if the number is 20,000 by three, then at eighteen that number has multiplied. You can do the math.
Anyway, I think I know why we say no. We say no to protect. We say no to direct. We say no to stop potential confusion. However, do we sometimes say no just for the sake of saying no? Do we say no because we have internalized(內(nèi)在化)all of the "NOs" we've heard over the years and we feel it is finally our time to say no to someone else?
The internalized no can damage the growth process of dreams in infancy as quickly as it can weaken a three-year-old. And we wonder why we run into people with big, un-accomplished dreams who have a bit of a chip on their shoulder. They have to take on the 20,000 NOs. However, the thing that keeps them going is the possibility of the power of ONE YES! Just as it only takes one book to make a writer a Pulitzer Prize Winner, it only takes one word to change the course of your day. That word is YES!
28. What do we know about two- year- olds?
A. They understand well. B. They often say no to others.
C. They think logically. D. They don't do all they're told.
29. What effect does saying no have on children?
A. They lose all their dreams. B. They aren't easy to succeed.
C. They don't make mistakes. D. They never say yes to others.
30. Which word best describes the author's attitude to a world of "NOs"?
A. Tolerant. B. Disapproving. C. Favorable. D. Carefree.
31. What is the text?
A. A how-to guide. B. A survey report. C. An opinion essay. D. A short story.
【答案】28. D 29. B 30. B 31. C
【解析】
這是一篇議論文。文章表達了作者對說“不”的看法。作者認為雖然有時說“不”是出于保護自己，但常常對孩子說“不”會對他們產(chǎn)生消極的影響。為了讓孩子有改觀，作者建議家長對他們說一句“是”。
【28題詳解】
細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段的it is also around this time that children begin to develop enough personal character to refuse to obey.可知，孩子們在三歲前就開始發(fā)展足夠的性格來拒絕遵守大人所說的。D. They don't do all they're told.(他們不會完全按照被告知的去做)符合以上說法，故選D項。
【29題詳解】
細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段的The internalized no can damage the growth process of dreams in infancy as quickly as it can weaken a three-year-old. And we wonder why we run into people with big, un-accomplished dreams who have a bit of a chip on their shoulder.(內(nèi)化的“不”會破壞嬰兒時期夢想過程的成長，就像它會削弱三歲小孩那樣快。我們也想知道我們?yōu)槭裁磿龅侥切┯兄h大而未實現(xiàn)的夢想的催毛求疵的人。)可知，不斷對孩子說“不”，會讓孩子的夢想破壞，導致他們最終有很多沒有完成的夢想。B. They aren't easy to succeed.(他們不會輕易成功。)符合以上說法，故選B項。
【30題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章的主要內(nèi)容，尤其最后一段的However, the thing that keeps them going is the possibility of the power of ONE YES! Just as it only takes one book to make a writer a Pulitzer Prize Winner, it only takes one word to change the course of your day. That word is YES!(然而，正真讓他們繼續(xù)走下去的是“是”的力量。就正如只需要一本書就會讓作者成為普利策獎得主一樣，你只需要一個詞來改變你生活軌跡，那就是“是”。)可知，作者從小時候?qū)⒆诱f“不”的影響，到長大和這一路成長經(jīng)歷對夢想的挫傷，到最后的說一句“是”也可以對孩子們帶來巨大的改觀。由此推測，作者對一個充斥著“不”的世界的態(tài)度是否定的。B. Disapproving. (不贊成的)符合以上推測，故選B項。
【31題詳解】
推理判斷題。全文以作者觀點為導向表達了作者對說“不”的看法，由此可見是一篇表明個人意見的論文。C. An opinion essay.(一篇觀點文章)符合以上推測，故選C項。
D
I’m Jeff Logan, president of Logan Luxury Theaters Corporation. I’m very sorry to tell you many cinemas are at risk of closing permanently (永久). That’s something we would hate to see happen.
Watching the newest box office movie and eating a big bucket of popcorn is an experience that many of us have enjoyed for a very long time. We all have fond memories of going to a theater of our first dates or the first movie we saw with our children. A movie theater is so important to the fabric of the local community. It’s a place where we all gather, no matter what our interests, and no matter what ages, young and old, rich and poor.
But how much longer will classic theaters remain open? Just like other industries, movie theaters have been hit hard by the pandemic (流行病) and are going dark. The entire industry is being controlled by the pandemic, because the studios don't want to release their new movies until all the theaters can be open. As we all know, the theaters can’t do well and can’t get back to full 7-day a week at full speed operation without new movies to play.
Recently, the Logan Luxury 5 Cinema in Mitchell reopened for the weekends. However, like many theaters, it is only operating at about 10 percent capacity. Since opening, several new safety measures have been put in place. Block off every other row. People are asked to leave three seats between them and the next group. Staff spray the theater with disinfectant (消毒劑) after every show. And sanitizer stations can be found throughout the theater.
Even so, some people still aren’t comfortable going to a movie theater yet. I fully understand that. Anyhow, I just hope we must do something else to help out our local theaters, like taking part in a new national proposal called “Save Your Cinema.”
32. What does the underlined word “fabric” in paragraph 4 refer to?
A. Typical feature. B. Basic structure. C. Public support. D. Common vision.
33. Why are the film studios unwilling to release the new movies?
A. Cinemas don’t operate normally.
B. New movies aren’t welcomed.
C. People don’t like going to cinema.
D. Many cinemas go out of business.
34. What can we infer about the Logan Luxury 5 Cinema after its reopening?
A. It makes a lot of money.
B. It does well in disease prevention.
C. It receives a large audience every day.
D. It offers more enjoyable experience.
35. What is the purpose of this text?
A. To share the good old days.
B. To explain a social problem.
C. To recommend a theater.
D. To ask for people’s help.
【答案】32. B 33. A 34. B 35. D
【解析】

詞義猜測題。根據(jù)第二段的A movie theater is so important to the fabric of the local community. It’s a place where we all gather, no matter what our interests, and no matter what ages, young and old, rich and poor.可知，一家電影院對當?shù)厣鐓^(qū)的fabric來說非常重要。它是一個大家聚會的地方，不論興趣、年齡、老少、貧富差距。根據(jù)句意可知，劃線詞是指一種建筑，該建筑為當?shù)厝颂峁┛梢噪S意聚會的地方。由此猜測，劃線部分的意思是“基礎(chǔ)建設(shè)”。B. Basic structure.(基本結(jié)構(gòu))符合以上猜測。故選B項。
【33題詳解】
細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段的The entire industry is being controlled by the pandemic, because the studios don’t want to release their new movies until all the theaters can be open.可知，整個電影行業(yè)都受到疫情影響，因為電影工作室不希望在影院復工前上映影片。即，電影工作室不上映電影，是因為電影院沒有正常營業(yè)。A. Cinemas don’t operate normally.(電影院沒有正常營業(yè))符合以上說法。故選A項。
【34題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段的However, like many theaters, it is only operating at about 10 percent capacity. Since opening, several new safety measures have been put in place. Block off every other row. People are asked to leave three seats between them and the next group. Staff spray the theater with disinfectant (消毒劑) after every show. And sanitizer stations can be found throughout the theater.(然而，就像很多影院，它只開放10%的容量。自營業(yè)以來，幾項新的安全措施已經(jīng)就位。每行隔開。人們被要求在他們和下一組之間留下三個座位。員工在觀影結(jié)束后噴灑消毒劑。整個電影院都有消毒站)可知，影院減少了載客容量，隔開了觀影者的位置，并常常消毒清理。由此推測，他們在防疫這方面做的很好。B. It does well in disease prevention.(它在防疫這方面做得很好)符合以上推測。故選B項。
【35題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段的Anyhow, I just hope we must do something else to help out our local theaters, like taking part in a new national proposal called “Save Your Cinema.”(不管怎么樣，我只希望我們可以做點什么來幫助我們當?shù)氐碾娪霸?，例如加入一個新的全國性倡議“拯救你的電影院”)可推測，作者寫這篇文章的目的是呼吁大家加入“拯救你的電影院”這個行動來為電影行業(yè)帶來幫助。D. To ask for people’s help.(請求人們的幫助)符合以上推測。故選D項。
