Lesson 3 教材衔接+研究类说明文—研究目的过程与结论 Step 1：知识积累之听力填词训练 Last year, I had the chance （study）at a British secondary school an exchange student. I stayed with a （love）host family and went to school with their son, Daniel. We were both in year ten and we got on （good）. He is learning Chinese and will come to stay with me this year in China! The British school day begins at 9 a.m. and ends at 4 p.m. Students usually have to learn nine subjects at （second） school. Every student in the UK must study English, Maths and the Science subjects: , Chemistry and Physics. Students can also choose to study other subjects, such as History, Art and Business. The classes are （difference）from those in China. Each teacher has their own classroom and the students move around for every lesson. In most of my classes, there were only about 20 students. In the （begin）, however, it was still tough for me to remember （everyone） name! I enjoyed most of the classes, but some of them were quite （challenge）. Technology classes were fun. I made a clock to take home. The teacher helped me put the parts together. I like it so much （love） I still use it as my alarm! I found Maths quite easy and （enjoy）because the material was less （advance） in the UK than in China. However, learning in English was a great challenge for me. There were a lot of difficult English words, （special） in Geography and Biology. Class discussion is very important in the UK, but I could not make a great （contribute） because sometimes I wasn’t able to express myself （clear） in English.

This also means a great change in the ecosystems(生态系统) of the oceans that is likely caused by human activities. For tens of years, satellites(卫星) have been watching the color of Earth's oceans and collecting information on the color of light reflecting(反射) off the water. Especially one of the satellites, the Aqua satellite has recently completed 20 years of collecting high-quality global ocean-color information. A new study has examined this information and found changes in ocean color over the past 20 years that cannot be explained by natural,year-to-year variability(可变性）alone. 1.What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about? A. The purpose of the study. B. The writers of the study. C. The process of the study. D. The advantages of the study. Passage B Something strange is happening to the Antarctica(南极洲）.Sea ice in the area fell to a record low in 2023. The drop is a result of rising temperatures all over the world. And there is no method to make up for the harmful result,researchers said recently in a new study. In 2022, the minimum(最小的) summer ice cover in Antarctica dropped to less than 2 million square kilometers for the first time since 1978.It fell further to a new low in February 2023. The sea ice minimum in 2023 is 20 percent lower than the average over the last 40 years. This means an area nearly 10times the size of New Zealand has been lost. 2. How is Paragraph 2 organized? A. By telling a story. B. By asking questions. C. By giving an example. D. By listing numbers. Passage C Scientists dug up the fossil（化石）of a bird-like dinosaur in the Fujian area and they named it Fujianvenator prodigiosus(奇异福建龙).It's said that the dinosaur lived during the Jurassic period. The researchers say the new finding provides more information about how birds evolved(进化). 3. What may the fossil help researchers know? A. How dinosaurs disappeared on Earth. B. How birds developed gradually. C. What bird-like dinosaurs fed on. D. What might be the oldest bird.

To bring that one step closer to reality, Zhiyong Fan, a materials scientist of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, developed a new artificial eye recently. The device, which is about as sensitive to light and has sharper vision and a faster reaction time than a real eyeball, may outperform human eyes. 1. Why does Zhiyong Fan develop the artificial eye? A．To replace people’s real eyeballs. B．To gain a sharper vision. C．To help the blind regain their eyesight. D．To help normal eyes perform better. Passage B Soap (肥皂) might seem like a reasonable way to avoid mosquito bites (蚊子叮) on the basis that if mosquitoes can’t smell you, they can’t bite you. However, a recent study has found that rather than protecting you, certain soaps might actually make you more attractive to mosquitoes. 2. What has the study found? A．Soap attracts many mosquitoes. B．Male mosquitoes feed on blood. C．Some plants drive away mosquitoes. D．Not all soap can stop mosquito bites. Passage C Developed by a team of WSU researchers, the robots’ tininess largely relies on a material known as a shape memory alloy (合金). Although shape memory alloys change form when heated, they can “remember” their original shapes and return to them after cooling. Because of this, the two micro-robots do not require standard motors, and they use light and small ones instead of bulky moving parts. 3. What does the underlined word “bulky” mean in paragraph 2? A．Cheap. B．Huge. C．Cool D．Fast. Passage D Have you ever imagined an insect-inspired robot, which weighs less than a gram, could one day help out in surgery (外科手术)? Scientists have designed this small, “insect-bot” called mCLARI that can control and even change its body shape as it travels in different environments to fit through gaps. It’s 2 centimeters long, weighs less than 0.97 grams and can travel at a speed of 6 centimeters per second.It’s the smaller, faster replacement to CLARI, which was designed by the same team. “Because of the robot’s small size and ability to change shape, we expect usage of this technology in four important areas,” the lead author Kaushik Jayaram said. These include disaster (灾害) response , check on high-value objects, environmental monitoring and medical treatment. “In the long term, we hope such robots will be used more widely in moving through human bodies and performing surgeries that can’t be easily done at present,” Jayaram said. With mCLARI, Jayaram’s team is moving closer to creating robots that can fit in different environments—just like the insects they’re inspired by. 4．What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A．Possible application fields of the robot. B．Different types of the robot. C．Several important features of the robot. D．Working process of the robot. 5．Which of the following can best describe mCLARI? A．Valuable but uncontrollable. B．Modern but high-cost. C．Heavy and time-consuming. D．Advanced and effective. 6．Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A．Jayaram: A Scientist Studying Robot Intelligence B．mCLARI Is Already Widely Available in the Market C．CLARI: A Robot Invented by Inspiration from the Insects D．A Tiny Shape-changing Robot Will Help Perform Surgeries Section D—高考真题链接 Passage A Some parents will buy any high-tech toy if they think it will help their child, but researchers said puzzles help children with math-related skills. Psychologist Susan Levine, an expert on mathematics development in young children the University of Chicago, found children who play with puzzles between ages 2 and 4 later develop better spatial skills. Puzzle play was found to be a significant predictor of cognition(认知) after controlling for differences in parents’ income, education and the amount of parent talk, Levine said. The researchers analyzed video recordings of 53 child-parent pairs during everyday activities at home and found children who play with puzzles between 26 and 46 months of age have better spatial skills when assessed at 54 months of age. “The children who played with puzzles performed better than those who did not, on tasks that assessed their ability to rotate(旋转)and translate shapes,” Levine said in a statement. The parents were asked to interact with their children as they normally would, and about half of children in the study played with puzzles at one time. Higher-income parents tended to have children play with puzzles more frequently, and both boys and girls who played with puzzles had better spatial skills. However, boys tended to play with more complex puzzles than girls, and the parents of boys provided more spatial language and were more active during puzzle play than parents of girls. The findings were published in the journal Developmental Science. 1. In which aspect do children benefit from puzzle play? A. Building confidence. B. Developing spatial skills. C. Learning self-control. D. Gaining high-tech knowledge. 2. What did Levine take into consideration when designing her experiment？ A. Parents’ age. B. Children’s imagination. C. Parents’ education. D. Child-parent relationship. 3. How do boy differ from girls in puzzle play? A. They play with puzzles more often. B. They tend to talk less during the game. C. They prefer to use more spatial language. D. They are likely to play with tougher puzzles. 4. What is the text mainly about? A. A mathematical method. B. A scientific study. C. A woman psychologist D. A teaching program. Passage B When a leafy plant is under attack, it doesn’t sit quietly. Back in 1983, two scientists, Jack Schultz and Ian Baldwin, reported that young maple trees getting bitten by insects send out a particular smell that neighboring plants can get. These chemicals come from the injured parts of the plant and seem to be an alarm. What the plants pump through the air is a mixture of chemicals known as volatile organic compounds, VOCs for short. Scientists have found that all kinds of plants give out VOCs when being attacked. It’s a plant’s way of crying out. But is anyone listening? Apparently. Because we can watch the neighbors react. Some plants pump out smelly chemicals to keep insects away. But others do double duty. They pump out perfumes designed to attract different insects who are natural enemies to the attackers. Once they arrive, the tables are turned. The attacker who was lunching now becomes lunch. In study after study, it appears that these chemical conversations help the neighbors. The damage is usually more serious on the first plant, but the neighbors, relatively speaking, stay safer because they heard the alarm and knew what to do. Does this mean that plants talk to each other? Scientists don’t know. Maybe the first plant just made a cry of pain or was sending a message to its own branches, and so, in effect, was talking to itself. Perhaps the neighbors just happened to “overhear” the cry. So information was exchanged, but it wasn’t a true, intentional back and forth. Charles Darwin, over 150 years ago, imagined a world far busier, noisier and more intimate(亲密的)than the world we can see and hear. Our senses are weak. There’s a whole lot going on. 1. What does a plant do when it is under attack? A. It makes noises. B. It gets help from other plants. C. It stands quietly. D. It sends out certain chemicals. 2. What does the author mean by “the tables are turned” in paragraph 3? A. The attackers get attacked. B. The insects gather under the table. C. The plants get ready to fight back. D. The perfumes attract natural enemies. 3. Scientists find from their studies that plants can. A. predict natural disasters B. protect themselves against insects C. talk to one another intentionally D. help their neighbors when necessary 4. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. The world is changing faster than ever. B. People have stronger senses than before. C. The world is more complex than it seems. D. People in Darwin’s time were more imaginative.

Section B—课后阅读训练 Passage A I waved goodbye to my senior high school life just six months ago and now I am a college freshman. However, my memory of high school life is so fresh that I feel as if it were only yesterday. My senior high school is called Yantai No. 1 Middle School with a long history, which can date back to 1931. When I recall my memorable high school life, I feel blissful and impressed. To be honest, my senior high school life was very tiring but I really enjoyed it. I was asked to put study in the first place all the time by both my parents and my teachers. At that time, I got up at 5:30 a.m. and went to bed late in order to have more study time to review what I had learned in the day. In addition to study, I also took part in some activities like English speech contests, calligraphy competitions and so on. Our class was like a big family. I got along well with my classmates. We always discussed issues of all kinds after class. I made many friends in the family and we still keep in touch with each other after we graduated. Luckily, my teachers were also very enthusiastic and friendly. We were seen as their children. They not only taught us knowledge but told us how to do better. What’s more, dormitory life is also worth mentioning. Living far away from my home, I became quite independent by the end of the first semester at senior high. My roommates and I worked as a team to do some cleaning every day. We had a good time living as a family together, and my social skills were gradually improved. This is my high school life, busy but fulfilling. I will never forget it. 1. It seems that the author’s high school life is anything but ______. A. memorable B. impressive C. tiring D. bitter 2. What can we infer from the third paragraph? A. The author was unhappy about what she was told to do by her parents and teachers. B. The author was a hardworking student when at high school. C. The author had no time for other hobbies other than study. D. The author won a lot of prizes in competitions during high school. 3. Which of the following is NOT the benefit of the author’s dormitory life? A. She lived far from her home. B. She learned to do things on her own. C. She had a better understanding of teamwork. D. She learned how to get along with others. 4. Where is this passage most likely to be found? A. In a newspaper covering breaking news. B. In a fashion magazine. C. On a college composition website. D. In a guidebook. Passage B Happiness is important for everyone. Most people want to be happy but few know how to find happiness. Money and success don’t bring long-lasting happiness. Happiness depends on ourselves. In other words, we make our own happiness. Some people believe that if they are wealthy, with the money they will be able to do anything they want, which means happiness. On the other hand, some people believe that holding a high position in the government is happiness. In this way, you have not only money, but also many other things which can’t be bought by money. However, other people believe that having lots of money is not happiness, nor is holding a high position in the government. These people value (重视) their beliefs, or their intelligence, or their health. They think these can make them happy. Here are a few ways to help you be happier. The first secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life. Too often, we spend so much time thinking about the future, for example, getting into college or getting a good job that we don’t enjoy the present. You should enjoy life’s simple pleasures, such as reading a good book, listening to your favorite music, or spending time with close friends. People who have close friends usually enjoy happier and healthier lives. The second secret of happiness is to be active. Many people go dancing or play sports. People can forget about their problems and only think about the activities. Finally, many people find happiness in helping others. According to studies, people feel good when they volunteer their time to do many meaningful things for other people. If you want to feel happier, do something nice for someone. You can help a friend with his or her studies, go shopping to get food for an old neighbor, or simply help around the house. Now maybe you know how to find happiness! 1. Some people who hold a high position in the government think they can ________. A. do what they want to do at any time B. enjoy health which makes them work hard C. take an active part in all kinds of activities every day D. get money and something they can’t buy with money 2. The writer thinks the secret of happiness is that people ________. A. think about getting money B. think about getting a good job C. often spend time with close friends D. often spend time thinking about the future 3. Many people find it happy to ________. A. do some meaningful things for others B. make much money and little success C. remember the old days and troubles D. go shopping to buy some food 4. The passage mainly tells us ________. A. how to have a bright future B. how to find happiness C. to do something good for others D. to value our beliefs or health 页 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ Lesson 3 教材衔接+研究类说明文—研究目的过程与结论 Step 1：知识积累之听力填词训练 Last year, I had the chance to study at a British secondary school as an exchange student. I stayed with a lovely host family and went to school with their son, Daniel. We were both in year ten and we got on well. He is learning Chinese and will come to stay with me this year in China! The British school day begins at 9 a.m. and ends at 4 p.m. Students usually have to learn nine subjects at secondary school. Every student in the UK must study English, Maths and the Science subjects: Biology, Chemistry and Physics. Students can also choose to study other subjects, such as History, Art and Business. The classes are different from those in China. Each teacher has their own classroom and the students move around for every lesson. In most of my classes, there were only about 20 students. In the beginning, however, it was still tough for me to remember everyone’s name! I enjoyed most of the classes, but some of them were quite challenging. Technology classes were fun. I made a clock to take home. The teacher helped me put the parts together. I like it so much that I still use it as my alarm! I found Maths quite easy and enjoyable because the material was less advanced in the UK than in China. However, learning in English was a great challenge for me. There were a lot of difficult English words, especially in Geography and Biology. Class discussion is very important in the UK, but I could not make a great contribution because sometimes I wasn’t able to express myself clearly in English. Although there was not as much homework as I was used to, it was still challenging. Fortunately, my teachers and classmates were always helpful and gave me lots of encouragement. My language skills improved over time. 词汇及短语归纳总结 1. secondary/ˈsekəndri/ adj. 中学的；次要的 2. exchange/ɪksˈtʃeɪndʒ/ n. & vt. 交换；交流；兑换 3. host/həʊst/ n. 主人；东道主；主持人vt.主办；主持 4. biology/baɪˈɒlədʒi/ n. 生物学 5. tough/tʌf/ adj. 艰难的；严厉的；坚强的；坚固的 6. advanced adj. 先进的；高级的，高等的；晚期的，状况不佳的；高龄的 7. challenging adj. 富于挑战性的，困难而有趣的；挑衅的，不赞同的 8. alarm/əˈlɑːm/n. 闹钟；恐慌；警报；警报器vt.使惊恐，使害怕 9. contribution/ˌkɒntrɪˈbjuːʃn/ n. 贡献；捐款；捐赠 10. fortunately/ˈfɔːtʃənətli/ adv. 幸运地，幸亏 Step 2：阅读技能研究类说明文—研究目的过程与结论Section A—初高衔接小题练 Passage A New research studying 20 years of ocean information has found that our oceans have changed the color.

A. The purpose of the study. B. The writers of the study. C. The process of the study. D. The advantages of the study. 参考答案： 1. C 段落大意题。通读第二段可知，本段主要介绍了科学家利用卫星观测海洋颜色的变化、收集信息并进行分析研究的过程。由此可知，第二段主要介绍的是研究的过程。 Passage B Something strange is happening to the Antarctica(南极洲）.Sea ice in the area fell to a record low in 2023. The drop is a result of rising temperatures all over the world. And there is no method to make up for the harmful result,researchers said recently in a new study. In 2022, the minimum(最小的) summer ice cover in Antarctica dropped to less than 2 million square kilometers for the first time since 1978.It fell further to a new low in February 2023. The sea ice minimum in 2023 is 20 percent lower than the average over the last 40 years. This means an area nearly 10times the size of New Zealand has been lost. 2. How is Paragraph 2 organized? A. By telling a story. B. By asking questions. C. By giving an example. D. By listing numbers. 参考答案： 2. D 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“less than 2 million square kilometers""20 percent lower than the average”和“nearly 10 times the size of NewZealand”可推知，本段主要通过列数字的方法说明了南极夏季冰盖和海冰的变化。 Passage C Scientists dug up the fossil（化石）of a bird-like dinosaur in the Fujian area and they named it Fujianvenator prodigiosus(奇异福建龙).It's said that the dinosaur lived during the Jurassic period. The researchers say the new finding provides more information about how birds evolved(进化). 3. What may the fossil help researchers know? A. How dinosaurs disappeared on Earth. B. How birds developed gradually. C. What bird-like dinosaurs fed on. D. What might be the oldest bird. 参考答案： 3. B细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“The researchers say the new finding provides moreinformation about how birds evolved.”可知，研究人员说，这一新发现为鸟类的进化提供了更多信息。由此可知，这块化石的发现可以帮研究人员更好地了解鸟类是如何进化的。 Section B—题型及知识讲解 1：何为研究类说明文 基于某项研究展开，向读者介绍该研究的背景、对象、过程、结论，和这个研究对于我们生活的指导意义。该结论往往与大众的长期认知有一定差异。 2：解题策略 它是陈述某次研究的过程与结论;并提供相对应的指导意见我们应该关注文章开头;结尾;主题;态度 研究类说明文关键词: the study; research shows/suggest/found....

To bring that one step closer to reality, Zhiyong Fan, a materials scientist of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, developed a new artificial eye recently.”（盲人长期以来一直渴望光明，但科学家们没有这项技术。为了让这一点更接近现实，香港科技大学材料科学家范志勇最近开发了一种新的人工眼。）可知，发明人工眼的目的是帮助盲人重获光明。故选C项。 Passage B Soap (肥皂) might seem like a reasonable way to avoid mosquito bites (蚊子叮) on the basis that if mosquitoes can’t smell you, they can’t bite you. However, a recent study has found that rather than protecting you, certain soaps might actually make you more attractive to mosquitoes. 2. What has the study found? A．Soap attracts many mosquitoes. B．Male mosquitoes feed on blood. C．Some plants drive away mosquitoes. D．Not all soap can stop mosquito bites. 参考答案： 细节理解题。根据第一段“However, a recent study has found that rather than protecting you, certain soaps might actually make you more attractive to mosquitoes.(然而，最近的一项研究发现，某些肥皂不仅不能保护你，反而可能会让你更吸引蚊子)”可知，不是所有的肥皂都可以阻止蚊子的攻击。故选D。 Passage C Developed by a team of WSU researchers, the robots’ tininess largely relies on a material known as a shape memory alloy (合金). Although shape memory alloys change form when heated, they can “remember” their original shapes and return to them after cooling. Because of this, the two micro-robots do not require standard motors, and they use light and small ones instead of bulky moving parts. 3. What does the underlined word “bulky” mean in paragraph 2? A．Cheap. B．Huge. C．Cool D．Fast. 参考答案： 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“the two micro-robots do not require standard motors, and they use light and small ones instead of”可知，这两个微型机器人不需要标准的马达，它们使用轻而小的马达代替巨大沉重的运动部件。故划线词意思是“巨大的”。故选B。 Passage D Have you ever imagined an insect-inspired robot, which weighs less than a gram, could one day help out in surgery (外科手术)? Scientists have designed this small, “insect-bot” called mCLARI that can control and even change its body shape as it travels in different environments to fit through gaps. It’s 2 centimeters long, weighs less than 0.97 grams and can travel at a speed of 6 centimeters per second.It’s the smaller, faster replacement to CLARI, which was designed by the same team. “Because of the robot’s small size and ability to change shape, we expect usage of this technology in four important areas,” the lead author Kaushik Jayaram said. These include disaster (灾害) response , check on high-value objects, environmental monitoring and medical treatment. “In the long term, we hope such robots will be used more widely in moving through human bodies and performing surgeries that can’t be easily done at present,” Jayaram said. With mCLARI, Jayaram’s team is moving closer to creating robots that can fit in different environments—just like the insects they’re inspired by. 4．What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A．Possible application fields of the robot. B．Different types of the robot. C．Several important features of the robot. D．Working process of the robot. 5．Which of the following can best describe mCLARI? A．Valuable but uncontrollable. B．Modern but high-cost. C．Heavy and time-consuming. D．Advanced and effective. 6．Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A．Jayaram: A Scientist Studying Robot Intelligence B．mCLARI Is Already Widely Available in the Market C．CLARI: A Robot Invented by Inspiration from the Insects D．A Tiny Shape-changing Robot Will Help Perform Surgeries 参考答案： 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了科学家们设计的一款新的机器人，这款机器人可以在外科手术中大显身手。 1．主旨大意题。根据文章第三段““Because of the robot’s small size and ability to change shape, we expect usage of this technology in four important areas,” the lead author Kaushik Jayaram said. These include disaster(灾害)response , check on high-value objects, environmental monitoring and medical treatment. (主要作者Kaushik Jayaram表示：“由于机器人体积小，且能够改变形状，我们预计这项技术将在四个重要领域得到应用。”这些领域包括灾难响应、检查高价值物品、环境监测和医疗治疗。)”可知，第三段主要讨论了这种机器人可能的应用领域，包括灾难响应、检查高价值物品、环境监测和医疗治疗。故选A。 2．推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Scientists have designed this small, “insect-bot” called mCLARI that can control and even change its body shape as it travels in different environments to fit through gaps. (科学家们设计了一种名为“mCLARI”小型昆虫机器人，它可以控制甚至改变自己的体型，在不同的环境中穿行，以适应缝隙。)”以及文章第三段““Because of the robot’s small size and ability to change shape, we expect usage of this technology in four important areas,” the lead author Kaushik Jayaram said. These include disaster (灾害) response , check on high-value objects, environmental monitoring and medical treatment. (主要作者Kaushik Jayaram表示：“由于机器人体积小，且能够改变形状，我们预计这项技术将在四个重要领域得到应用。”这些领域包括灾难响应、检查高价值物品、环境监测和医疗治疗。)”可知，这款机器人是由科学家设计的，能够控制和改变形状以适应不同环境，预计在医疗等领域有广泛应用，这表明它是先进且有效的技术。故选D。 3．主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Have you ever imagined an insect-inspired robot, which weighs less than a gram, could one day help out in surgery (外科手术)? (你是否曾想象过，一个受昆虫启发、重量不到一克的机器人，有朝一日能在外科手术中大显身手？)”以及全文内容可知，主要介绍了科学家设计的一种小型、可变形的机器人mCLARI，并指出它未来可能在手术等领域的应用。因此选项D“A Tiny Shape-changing Robot Will Help Perform Surgeries (一个微型变形机器人将帮助进行手术)”最能概括文章内容。故选D。 Section D—高考真题链接 Passage A Some parents will buy any high-tech toy if they think it will help their child, but researchers said puzzles help children with math-related skills. Psychologist Susan Levine, an expert on mathematics development in young children the University of Chicago, found children who play with puzzles between ages 2 and 4 later develop better spatial skills. Puzzle play was found to be a significant predictor of cognition(认知) after controlling for differences in parents’ income, education and the amount of parent talk, Levine said. The researchers analyzed video recordings of 53 child-parent pairs during everyday activities at home and found children who play with puzzles between 26 and 46 months of age have better spatial skills when assessed at 54 months of age. “The children who played with puzzles performed better than those who did not, on tasks that assessed their ability to rotate(旋转)and translate shapes,” Levine said in a statement. The parents were asked to interact with their children as they normally would, and about half of children in the study played with puzzles at one time. Higher-income parents tended to have children play with puzzles more frequently, and both boys and girls who played with puzzles had better spatial skills. However, boys tended to play with more complex puzzles than girls, and the parents of boys provided more spatial language and were more active during puzzle play than parents of girls. The findings were published in the journal Developmental Science. 1. In which aspect do children benefit from puzzle play? A. Building confidence. B. Developing spatial skills. C. Learning self-control. D. Gaining high-tech knowledge. 2. What did Levine take into consideration when designing her experiment？ A. Parents’ age. B. Children’s imagination. C. Parents’ education. D. Child-parent relationship. 3. How do boy differ from girls in puzzle play? A. They play with puzzles more often. B. They tend to talk less during the game. C. They prefer to use more spatial language. D. They are likely to play with tougher puzzles. 4. What is the text mainly about? A. A mathematical method. B. A scientific study. C. A woman psychologist D. A teaching program. 参考答案： 本文是说明文。是关于孩子们玩智力游戏的研究，介绍了研究考虑的因素，研究过程和结果。 1.细节理解题。根据第二段中…found children who play with puzzles between ages 2 and 4 develop better spatial skill(在2岁到4岁之间玩智力游戏的儿童在空间能力方面更好)可知，孩子们可以从智力游戏中发展更好的空间技能。B. Developing spatial skills(发展空间能力)符合以上说法，故选B项。 2.细节理解题。根据第二段中Puzzle play was found to be a significant predictor of cognition after controlling for difference in parents' income, education and the amount of parent talk, Levine said.( Levine说，在控制了不同父母的收入、教育和父母谈话次数后，拼图游戏被发现是一个重要的认知预测)可知Levine在设计这个试验时考虑了父母的收入、教育程度和父母谈话的次数。C. Parents' education.(父母的教育)符合以上说法，故选C项。 3.细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中However, boys tended to play with more complex puzzles than girls,可知男孩比女孩更喜欢玩复杂的谜题，即他们可能会玩难度更大的谜题。D. They are likely to play with tougher puzzles.(他们有可能玩更复杂的谜题)符合以上说法，故选D项。 4.主旨大意题。本文是关于孩子们玩智力游戏的研究，介绍了研究考虑的因素，研究过程和结果。所以是关于科学研究的。B. A scientific study(一项科学研究)符合以上说法，故选B项。 Passage B When a leafy plant is under attack, it doesn’t sit quietly. Back in 1983, two scientists, Jack Schultz and Ian Baldwin, reported that young maple trees getting bitten by insects send out a particular smell that neighboring plants can get. These chemicals come from the injured parts of the plant and seem to be an alarm. What the plants pump through the air is a mixture of chemicals known as volatile organic compounds, VOCs for short. Scientists have found that all kinds of plants give out VOCs when being attacked. It’s a plant’s way of crying out. But is anyone listening? Apparently. Because we can watch the neighbors react. Some plants pump out smelly chemicals to keep insects away. But others do double duty. They pump out perfumes designed to attract different insects who are natural enemies to the attackers. Once they arrive, the tables are turned. The attacker who was lunching now becomes lunch. In study after study, it appears that these chemical conversations help the neighbors. The damage is usually more serious on the first plant, but the neighbors, relatively speaking, stay safer because they heard the alarm and knew what to do. Does this mean that plants talk to each other? Scientists don’t know. Maybe the first plant just made a cry of pain or was sending a message to its own branches, and so, in effect, was talking to itself. Perhaps the neighbors just happened to “overhear” the cry. So information was exchanged, but it wasn’t a true, intentional back and forth. Charles Darwin, over 150 years ago, imagined a world far busier, noisier and more intimate(亲密的)than the world we can see and hear. Our senses are weak. There’s a whole lot going on. 1. What does a plant do when it is under attack? A. It makes noises. B. It gets help from other plants. C. It stands quietly. D. It sends out certain chemicals. 2. What does the author mean by “the tables are turned” in paragraph 3? A. The attackers get attacked. B. The insects gather under the table. C. The plants get ready to fight back. D. The perfumes attract natural enemies. 3. Scientists find from their studies that plants can. A. predict natural disasters B. protect themselves against insects C. talk to one another intentionally D. help their neighbors when necessary 4. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. The world is changing faster than ever. B. People have stronger senses than before. C. The world is more complex than it seems. D. People in Darwin’s time were more imaginative. 参考答案： 科学家研究发现当植物受到袭击时，它们不是默默忍受，而是发出一些气味来达到保护自己或者警告同伴的目的。 1. D 细节理解题。根据文章第一段第二句的...send out a particalar smell that neighbouring plants can get可知当一棵植物被袭击时，它会散发出某些化学物质，因此答案D项正确。 2. A 猜测词义题。前一句提到这些被袭击的植物发出香味来吸引袭击者的天敌，因此这些袭击者的天敌一到达，这些袭击者就变成了被袭击者了。 3. B 推理判断题。第三段提到一些植物被袭击时会发出吸引袭击者天敌的气味，以达到利用袭击者天敌来消灭袭击者保护自己的目的，因此答案B项正确。 4 C 推理判断题。最后一段提到达尔文设想了一个比我们能够听到、看到的世界还要忙碌、嘈杂和亲密的世界，还有our senses are weak这些都可以推断说明这个世界比我们看起来的还要复杂。 Step 3：课后作业之听力训练+题型演练Section A—模考听力训练 第一节(共5 小题; 每小题 1.5分,满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1．What would the man like to have?

Section B—课后阅读训练 Passage A I waved goodbye to my senior high school life just six months ago and now I am a college freshman. However, my memory of high school life is so fresh that I feel as if it were only yesterday. My senior high school is called Yantai No. 1 Middle School with a long history, which can date back to 1931. When I recall my memorable high school life, I feel blissful and impressed. To be honest, my senior high school life was very tiring but I really enjoyed it. I was asked to put study in the first place all the time by both my parents and my teachers. At that time, I got up at 5:30 a.m. and went to bed late in order to have more study time to review what I had learned in the day. In addition to study, I also took part in some activities like English speech contests, calligraphy competitions and so on. Our class was like a big family. I got along well with my classmates. We always discussed issues of all kinds after class. I made many friends in the family and we still keep in touch with each other after we graduated. Luckily, my teachers were also very enthusiastic and friendly. We were seen as their children. They not only taught us knowledge but told us how to do better. What’s more, dormitory life is also worth mentioning. Living far away from my home, I became quite independent by the end of the first semester at senior high. My roommates and I worked as a team to do some cleaning every day. We had a good time living as a family together, and my social skills were gradually improved. This is my high school life, busy but fulfilling. I will never forget it. 1. It seems that the author’s high school life is anything but ______. A. memorable B. impressive C. tiring D. bitter 2. What can we infer from the third paragraph? A. The author was unhappy about what she was told to do by her parents and teachers. B. The author was a hardworking student when at high school. C. The author had no time for other hobbies other than study. D. The author won a lot of prizes in competitions during high school. 3. Which of the following is NOT the benefit of the author’s dormitory life? A. She lived far from her home. B. She learned to do things on her own. C. She had a better understanding of teamwork. D. She learned how to get along with others. 4. Where is this passage most likely to be found? A. In a newspaper covering breaking news. B. In a fashion magazine. C. On a college composition website. D. In a guidebook. 参考答案： 这是一篇记叙文。文章回顾了作者刚刚过去的高中生活。 1.细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“When I recall my memorable high school life, I feel blissful and impressed.(当我回忆起我难忘的高中生活时，我感到幸福和印象深刻。)”和第三段第一句话“To be honest, my senior high school life was very tiring but I really enjoyed it.(说实话，我的高中生活很累，但我真的很享受。)”可知，作者的高中生活难忘、令人印象深刻又很累，但并不痛苦。故选D项。 2.推理判断题。根据文章第三段“I was asked to put study in the first place all the time by both my parents and my teachers. At that time, I got up at 5:30 a.m. and went to bed late in order to have more study time to review what I had learned in the day. In addition to study, I also took part in some activities like English speech contests, calligraphy competitions and so on.(我的父母和老师一直要求我把学习放在第一位。在那个时候，我早上5:30起床，很晚才睡觉，以便有更多的学习时间来复习我在一天中学到的东西。除了学习，我还参加了一些活动，如英语演讲比赛，书法比赛等。)”可知，作者一直将学习放在第一位，每天五点半起床，很晚才睡，除了学习还要参加英语演讲比赛、书法比赛等活动，说明作者在高中是一个很勤奋的学生。故选B项。 3.细节理解题。根据文章第五段“What’s more, dormitory life is also worth mentioning. Living far away from my home, I became quite independent by the end of the first semester at senior high. My roommates and I worked as a team to do some cleaning every day. We had a good time living as a family together, and my social skills were gradually improved.(更重要的是，宿舍生活也值得一提。由于住在离家很远的地方，我在高中第一学期结束时变得相当独立。我的室友和我作为一个团队每天做一些清洁。我们如同家人一样，在一起生活得很愉快，我的社交能力也逐渐提高了。)”可知，宿舍生活让作者变得独立，团队协作和社交能力也提高了，而住得离家远不是宿舍生活带来的好处。故选A项。 4.推理判断题。根据文章第一段“I waved goodbye to my senior high school life just six months ago and now I am a college freshman. However, my memory of high school life is so fresh that I feel as if it were only yesterday.(就在六个月前，我告别了高中生活，现在我是一名大学新生。然而，我的高中生活的记忆是如此的新鲜，我觉得好像就在昨天。)”以及全文内容可知，本文作者是一名大学生，在介绍自己刚刚过去的高三生活，文章最有可能出现在一个大学作文网站上。故选C项。 Passage B Happiness is important for everyone. Most people want to be happy but few know how to find happiness. Money and success don’t bring long-lasting happiness. Happiness depends on ourselves. In other words, we make our own happiness. Some people believe that if they are wealthy, with the money they will be able to do anything they want, which means happiness. On the other hand, some people believe that holding a high position in the government is happiness. In this way, you have not only money, but also many other things which can’t be bought by money. However, other people believe that having lots of money is not happiness, nor is holding a high position in the government. These people value (重视) their beliefs, or their intelligence, or their health. They think these can make them happy. Here are a few ways to help you be happier. The first secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life. Too often, we spend so much time thinking about the future, for example, getting into college or getting a good job that we don’t enjoy the present. You should enjoy life’s simple pleasures, such as reading a good book, listening to your favorite music, or spending time with close friends. People who have close friends usually enjoy happier and healthier lives. The second secret of happiness is to be active. Many people go dancing or play sports. People can forget about their problems and only think about the activities. Finally, many people find happiness in helping others. According to studies, people feel good when they volunteer their time to do many meaningful things for other people. If you want to feel happier, do something nice for someone. You can help a friend with his or her studies, go shopping to get food for an old neighbor, or simply help around the house. Now maybe you know how to find happiness! 1. Some people who hold a high position in the government think they can ________. A. do what they want to do at any time B. enjoy health which makes them work hard C. take an active part in all kinds of activities every day D. get money and something they can’t buy with money 2. The writer thinks the secret of happiness is that people ________. A. think about getting money B. think about getting a good job C. often spend time with close friends D. often spend time thinking about the future 3. Many people find it happy to ________. A. do some meaningful things for others B. make much money and little success C. remember the old days and troubles D. go shopping to buy some food 4. The passage mainly tells us ________. A. how to have a bright future B. how to find happiness C. to do something good for others D. to value our beliefs or health 参考答案： 这是一篇说明文。快乐对每个人都很重要。大多数人想要幸福，但很少有人知道如何找到幸福。金钱和成功不会带来持久的幸福。幸福取决于我们自己。短文介绍了帮助人么更快乐的方法。 1.细节理解题。根据第二段“On the other hand, some people believe that holding a high position in the government is happiness. In this way, you have not only money, but also many other things which can’t be bought by money.”可知，另一方面，有些人认为在政府拥有较高的地位是幸福的。这样一来，你不仅拥有了金钱，还拥有了许多金钱买不到的其他东西。故选D项。 2.细节理解题。根据第四段“You should enjoy life’s simple pleasures, such as reading a good book, listening to your favorite music, or spending time with close friends.”可知，你应该享受生活的简单乐趣，如读一本好书，听你最喜欢的音乐，或花时间与亲密的朋友在一起。由此可知，作者认为幸福的秘密是人们经常花时间与亲密的朋友在一起。故选C项。 3.细节理解题。根据最后一段“According to studies, people feel good when they volunteer their time to do many meaningful things for other people.”可知，根据研究，当人们自愿花时间为他人做很多有意义的事情时，他们感觉很好。由此可知，许多人发现为别人做一些有意义的事情是快乐的。故选A项。 4.主旨大意题。快乐对每个人都很重要。大多数人想要幸福，但很少有人知道如何找到幸福。金钱和成功不会带来持久的幸福。幸福取决于我们自己。再根据第三段“Here are a few ways to help you be happier.” 这里有一些方法可以帮助你更快乐以及下文的具体介绍。由此可知，这篇文章主要告诉我们如何找到幸福。故选B项。 页 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$nullnull
