Until that point, I had spent most of my life on the circus lot, playing with the other circus kids. The circus, by its nature, is one that has a loose structure. So the early years after my leaving the circus to sit in a classroom all day felt more like a prison. But years later, I found areas that interested me. I took the skills I had learned from being onstage and applied them to broadcasting. And so when Boston’s news station WBUR offered me a job out of college, I jumped at the chance. Along the way, I found I really enjoyed the work. I became WBUR’s news reporter. The flexibility and adaptability I’d learned in the circus as a child helped me do my job naturally and easily in a stressful situation — whether it was a destructive tornado outside Boston, or the Boston Marathon bombings of 2013. But then a serious infectious disease appeared. Suddenly, for the first time in my adult life, I went for a year without doing any shows. But it became clear to me that performing was what I truly wanted. For me, the circus symbolizes who I am. And stages have always been where I’ve felt the most free. Some people get nervous before they go onstage, but by assuming (扮演) the character of Jacques ze Whipper and drawing a stupid moustache on my face, all my social anxiety disappears. Circus performances go beyond age, socioeconomic status (地位), and even language. It’s the type of performance where you can go anywhere in the world to entertain anyone — help anyone forget their troubles for 5, 10, and even 30 minutes. And most importantly, for me, it means coming home. 4. How did the author feel in the early years of school? A. Curious. B. Unfree. C. Loose. D. Impatient. 5. What do we know about the author’s job at WBUR? A. He did it for his father. B. He did it against his will. C. He risked his neck doing it. D. He took to it like a duck to water. 6. What does the circus probably mean to the author? A. A means of living. B. A chance to go anywhere. C. A part of his identity. D. A way to forget his troubles. 7. Why does the author write the text? A. To express his love for circus performances. B. To stress the value of performing. C. To share his personal experiences in a circus. D. To discuss the problem of choosing a job. 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. C 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者离开马戏团后的人生经历，以及作者如何将马戏团的经验应用于广播行业，并成为新闻记者，但马戏还是萦绕在作者心头。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“So the early years after my leaving the circus to sit in a classroom all day felt more like a prison.(所以我离开马戏团后的最初几年，整天坐在教室里，感觉更像是在监狱里。)”可知，作者离开马戏团后的最初几年，整天坐在教室里感觉像是在监狱里，也就是感到不自由。故选B。 5题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“And so when Boston’s news station WBUR offered me a job out of college, I jumped at the chance. Along the way, I found I really enjoyed the work. I became WBUR’s news reporter. The flexibility and adaptability I’d learned in the circus as a child helped me do my job naturally and easily in a stressful situation — whether it was a destructive tornado outside Boston, or the Boston Marathon bombings of 2013.(因此，当波士顿的新闻电台WBUR给我一份大学毕业后的工作时，我欣然接受了这个机会。一路走来，我发现我真的很喜欢这份工作。我成了WBUR的新闻记者。我小时候在马戏团学到的灵活性和适应能力帮助我在紧张的情况下自然而轻松地完成工作——无论是波士顿郊外的破坏性龙卷风，还是2013年波士顿马拉松爆炸事件。)”可知，作者在WBUR工作时，能够在紧张的情况下自然而轻松地完成工作，由此可知，这份工作对作者而言如鱼得水，非常轻松。故选D。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“For me, the circus symbolizes who I am.(对我来说，马戏团象征着我是谁。)”以及最后一段“And most importantly, for me, it means coming home.(最重要的是，对我来说，这意味着回家。)”可知，对于作者而言，马戏团已经是他身份的一部分，象征着作者的身份。故选C。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“But it became clear to me that performing was what I truly wanted. For me, the circus symbolizes who I am. And stages have always been where I’ve felt the most free. Some people get nervous before they go onstage, but by assuming (扮演) the character of Jacques ze Whipper and drawing a stupid moustache on my face, all my social anxiety disappears.(但我渐渐明白，表演才是我真正想要的。对我来说，马戏团象征着我是谁。舞台一直是我感觉最自由的地方。有些人上台前会紧张，但只要假设自己是 (Jacques ze Whipper这个角色，再在脸上画上愚蠢的小胡子，我所有的社交焦虑就消失了。)”以及全文内容可知，文章主要表达了作者对马戏的热爱。故选A。 C Now, a study proves that gardens are more than just a pretty place. The study, by researchers at Illinois State University, demonstrates that such constructed gardens can have a measurable and positive impact on water quality. Floating gardens are essentially platforms built and wrapped in coconut husks (椰子壳), and filled in with native plantings. As plants grow, they extend their roots into the water. On the North Branch of the Chicago River, non-profit Urban Rivers and its partners are developing a mile-long floating eco-park called the Wild Mile. The re-development of this former industrial canal is Urban Rivers’ important project. As part of the park, floating gardens, attached to shore, are being fixed. The primary aim of the floating gardens is beautification. But the Illinois State team, from the University’s Department of Geology, Geography, and the Environment, saw an ideal setup for a controlled experiment. “We joined it because it’s the perfect opportunity to see if there’s an influence on water quality,” explains lead author Abigail Heath. The study is novel: previous studies have explored floating gardens’ influence on water quality over time, primarily in wastewater treatment ponds, but not over space, in moving water. The project also matches well with Urban Rivers’ broader goals. “The city is interested in bettering water quality,” says Phil Nicodemus, Urban Rivers’ Director of Research. “Happily, Illinois State took part in it later.” Could this small human-made park improve water quality? An average of data collected over the course of the study shows middle but definitive improvement. For example, nitrogen (氮) dropped from 4.69 milligrams per liter in surface water to 4.43 milligrams per liter, a drop of about 1 percent. “Despite how small this garden was there was measurable improvement in water quality from upstream to downstream,” notes Heath. She and her colleagues see this as a model for how large floating gardens should be to help improve water in similar settings. “Even this tiny garden makes a difference,” she says. 8. What can be inferred from the second paragraph? A. The floating gardens are environmentally friendly. B. The floating gardens are fixed everywhere in the eco-park. C. The floating gardens can help fix the former parks. D. The Urban Rivers were once industrial canals. 9. What is the main reason to build the floating gardens? A. To reduce waste water. B. To attract more visitors to the park. C. To make the surroundings brilliant. D. To help researchers do the experiment. 10. What does the underlined word “it” refer to in Paragraph 4? A. The floating garden. B. The project. C. The treatment of ponds. D. The quality of water. 11. Which of the following could be the best title for the text? A. Floating Gardens: More than Pretty B. The Best Way to Better Water Quality C. A Practical Method of Improving Parks D. Floating Gardens Beautify the City 【答案】8. A 9. C 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项研究指出，美国伊利诺伊州的漂浮花园不但起到了美观的作用，而且能够有效改善水质。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Floating gardens are essentially platforms built and wrapped in coconut husks (椰子壳), and filled in with native plantings. As plants grow, they extend their roots into the water. On the North Branch of the Chicago River, non-profit Urban Rivers and its partners are developing a mile-long floating eco-park called the Wild Mile.（漂浮花园本质上是用椰子壳包裹起来的平台，里面种满了本地植物。当植物生长时，它们的根会伸入水中。在芝加哥河的北支流，非营利组织“城市河流”及其合作伙伴正在开发一个长达一英里的漂浮生态公园，名为“野生一英里”。）”可知，漂浮花园的用材是椰子壳，其功能是作为生态公园。由此推知，漂浮花园是环保的。故选A。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“The primary aim of the floating gardens is beautification.（漂浮花园的主要目的是美化。）”可知，建造漂浮花园的主要目的是让周边环境更加美观。故选C。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段中“The project also matches well with Urban Rivers’ broader goals. “The city is interested in bettering water quality,” says Phil Nicodemus, Urban Rivers’ Director of Research. “Happily, Illinois State took part in it later.”（该项目也与“城市河流”更大的目标相匹配。“城市河流”研究主任Phil Nicodemus说：“这座城市对改善水质很感兴趣，令人高兴的是，伊利诺伊州立大学后来也加入了。”）”可知，Phil Nicodemus很高兴伊利诺伊州立大学参与了这个项目，it指代的是上文中提到的The project。故选B。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章主要介绍了一项研究指出，美国伊利诺伊州的漂浮花园不但起到了美观的作用，而且能够有效改善水质。因此，A项“漂浮花园：不止于美丽”可概括文章大意，适合作为文章标题。故选A。 D Stressed at work and feeling your blood pressure rise? People all over the world are told by their doctors to try for a low-sodium (钠) diet to treat high blood pressure or other diseases, but there’s no denying that salt makes food taste good. Fortunately, Japanese researchers at Tokyo’s Meiji University and the manufacturer Kirin have developed high-tech chopsticks that enhance salty tastes, potentially helping those who need to reduce sodium in their diets. These wired-up chopsticks are actually part of a device that the researchers say can enhance the salty flavor of low-sodium foods. And when they were tested on participants for the first time, results showed that the high-tech chopsticks increase perceived (察觉到) saltiness in foods by about 1.5 times. According to the research team, the basic principle is that the extra salty flavor is perceived due to extremely weak electric currents conveyed directly into the mouth through the tip of one of the chopsticks. Scientists have apparently been using this kind of weak electricity to play with flavors in the lab for years, but these chopsticks in particular are set to adjust the activity of ions (离子) in sodium chloride (table salt), which enhances salty flavor. And do these chopsticks work as expected? To verify the effect of the new chopsticks, the researchers conducted an experiment on a total of 36 participants aged 40 to 65, all of whom were eating a low-sodium diet. If nothing else, one thing was clear: participants using the chopsticks tasted more salt than they did without. Results show that they even thought that low-sodium food eaten with the high-tech chopsticks tasted saltier than regular food made with an average amount of sodium, and eaten with normal chopsticks. The chopsticks aren’t on store shelves quite yet, but with promising results, people around the world who are unhappily devoted to a low-sodium diet might just be excited for any updates to come! 12. What is the main function of the future high-tech chopsticks? A. To treat blood pressure. B. To test how salty a dish is. C. To increase the saltiness of food. D. To help reduce salt intake. 13. How do the high-tech chopsticks work? A. By sending warning information to the brain. B. By changing the saltiness of food with electric shocks. C. By using electricity to transport ions between chopsticks. D. By tricking our brains into tasting extra salt. 14. What does the underlined word “verify” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Confirm. B. Improve. C. Change. D. Strengthen. 15. What is the writer’s attitude toward the future of the chopsticks? A. Doubtful. B. Optimistic. C. Uncertain. D. Pessimistic. 【答案】12. D 13. D 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。日本研究人员开发出一种可以让人感觉咸味增强的筷子，从而帮助人们减少食盐的摄入量。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段的最后一句“Fortunately, Japanese researchers at Tokyo’s Meiji University and the manufacturer Kirin have developed high-tech chopsticks that enhance salty tastes, potentially helping those who need to reduce sodium in their diets. (幸运的是，日本东京明治大学的研究人员和制造商麒麟开发出了一种高科技筷子，可以增强咸味，可能会帮助那些需要减少饮食中钠含量的人。)”可知，这种高科技筷子的功能是帮助减少食盐摄入量。故选D。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段第一句“According to the research team, the basic principle is that the extra salty flavor is perceived due to extremely weak electric currents conveyed directly into the mouth through the tip of one of the chopsticks. (据研究小组介绍，其基本原理是，通过其中一根筷子的尖端直接进入口腔的极弱电流会让人感受到额外的咸味。)”可知，这种高科技筷子是通过让大脑感受额外的咸味来发挥其功能的。故选D。 【14题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第四段前两句“And do these chopsticks work as expected? To verify the effect of the new chopsticks, the researchers conducted an experiment on a total of 36 participants aged 40 to 65, all of whom were eating a low-sodium diet. (这些筷子像预期的那样好用吗？为了 ________ 新筷子的效果，研究人员对36名年龄在40到65岁之间的参与者进行了一项实验，他们都在吃低钠饮食。)”可知，画线词所在句前一句是对筷子的效果提出疑问，而后面是对实验结果的描述，故可推知，划线词是“证明，证实”的意思。故选A。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据末段“The chopsticks aren’t on store shelves quite yet, but with promising results, people around the world who are unhappily devoted to a low-sodium diet might just be excited for any updates to come! (这种筷子还没有在商店货架上销售，但由于效果很好，世界各地那些不快乐地致力于低钠饮食的人可能会对即将到来的任何更新感到兴奋！)”可知，作者对这种高科技筷子的未来持乐观态度。故选B。 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 For most people traveling abroad, their first choice is probably to make a beeline for (直奔) tourist sights. For me, I find lots of joy in grocery (食品杂货店) shopping on holiday. As a vegetarian (素食主义者), finding restaurants that meet my needs is not always easy abroad. ____16____ The first thing I do, after dropping my bags off, is to go to a grocery store. That enables me to cook breakfast in the morning without walking around for hours trying to find “vegan breakfast” near me. The variety of foods attracts me every time I travel somewhere new. In Malta, I found the most delicious chocolate-filled cakes, a product I would struggle to find even in the UK. ____17____ I was so delighted that I could enjoy such an unexpected treat. Another surprise was their selection of ice cream available even in the smallest grocery stores. ____18____ Looking for smoked tofu and corn pancakes turns into quite a mission whenever I visit Cluj-Napoca in Romania. There is usually only one variety of smoked tofu, sold in a very small tub (食品盒) and only in the cafeteria section. ____19____ That is because they are never available at the smaller ones. Grocery shopping on holiday sounds unusual. But it means being involved in the day-to-day lives of a country’s citizens. I can pretend I am a local and put myself in their shoes. I can watch kids begging their parents for sweets, an international experience that needs no language, or watch couples pick up snacks and drinks for a party on a Friday night. ____20____ A. I ended up eating these every day for breakfast. B. The challenge of finding food is interesting, too. C. So I always make sure to book a place with a kitchen. D. Grocery shopping was a vital part of the holiday experience. E. It’s an act of understanding people as much as of buying food. F. Corn pancakes always require a trip to the bigger grocery store. G.

For me, the Easter holidays were so boring that it was impossible to find something fun to do. My mom had suggested that I do some studies since the promotion test was coming up. However, I didn’t follow my mother’s suggestion. Instead, I went outside to seek out my friends to play with. When I had successfully contacted some of my friends, none of them seemed to be much in a playful mood, but one friend Jimmy agreed to play with me. He suggested we go down to the river and just relax there. The river was not far from my home, and we arrived there quickly. Just relaxing on the river bank with nothing but some waste logs, it wasn’t fun for us at first. Clearly what was on our minds was to jump into the river and just take a swim in the clear cool water. So we took off our clothes down to our underwear and walked into the shallow part of the water. The water was truly cool and refreshing and we were starting to have fun then, playing and laughing, as we splashed the cool water onto each other’s faces. Then we started to chase each other around on the river bank and then we ran straight into the river. We were having so much fun that we didn’t notice danger was around the corner. Before Jimmy could know it, and before he could do anything to keep his balance, he lost his footing on a tree branch, which was in the shallow part of the water, and slipped, bringing his whole entire body into the deep water. He tried to resurface from the water but found it extremely hard to keep his head above the water. 注意：1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I was scared to see him struggling in the water but I knew I must rescue him. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After a while, Jimmy recovered from panic and thanked my mom and the neighbors. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】I was scared to see him struggling in the water but I knew I must rescue him. I took a deep breath to keep calm. Looking around, I found a waste log, I threw it to him immediately and asked him to hold it and not to give up. At the same time I yelled for help, hoping someone could come to our rescue. Luckily, my mom heard my cries, rushed out of the house and raced towards us. She jumped into the water and reached out her hands to pull him. Several neighbors also quickly joined the rescue. They managed to get Jimmy out of the water. Finally, Jimmy was saved, pale and shivering. After a while, Jimmy recovered from panic and thanked my mom and the neighbors. We hugged each other in tears. I thought my mom would scold me. But she just held us in her arms tightly. She warned us it was dangerous to swim in the river. Both of us felt ashamed and promised never to do that again. This was really a special Easter, one I would never forget. For Jimmy, he had a narrow escape from drowning. For me, I felt the kindness of my neighbors. 【解析】 【导语】本文以时间发展为线索展开，讲述了作者与朋友吉米一起到河边玩耍，没有意识到危险的临近，导致他的朋友吉米在不知不觉中掉入深水的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“看到他在水里挣扎，我很害怕，但我知道我必须救他”可知，第一段可描写作者一边施救一边呼叫帮助，作者的妈妈以及邻居闻声赶来救出了作者的朋友吉米。 ②由第二段首句内容“过了一会儿，吉米从恐慌中恢复过来，感谢我妈妈和邻居们。”可知，第二段可描写作者的妈妈没有批评他，告诉他在河里游泳很危险。吉米险些溺水，而作者感受到了邻居的善良。 2.续写线索：保持镇静——扔原木施救——呼叫援助——妈妈和邻居闻声赶来——救出吉米——被妈妈安慰——明白了在河里游泳的危险——感受到了邻居的善良 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①放弃：give up/abandon ②大叫：yell/shout ③拥抱：hug/embrace 情绪类 ①感到羞愧：feel ashamed/feel abashed ②冷静的：calm/dispassionate 【点睛】[高分句型1].

With shelves and shelves of books, various collections and amazing historical and cultural displays. there are plenty of undiscovered wonders. Beinecke Rare Book Library (New Haven, Connecticut) Yale University has one of the most beautiful college campuses in America, and one of its most interesting features is the Beinecke Rare Book Library. It is one of the largest buildings in the world devoted to rare books and manuscripts (手稿) of famous people. From 2015-16 the library building was closed for 18 months for major improvement. Inside there is a statue of its main founder that rises up high. Vennesla Library (Vennesla, Norway) Located near the southernmost tip of Norway, Vennesla Library is more than a collection of books—it’s a city cultural center and meeting place. The building hosts a coffee shop, open meeting spaces, classrooms for children and adult education courses. and a cinema. It is mainly built out of wood. The long. thin beams (横梁) on the inside were designed to look like the inside of a whale. Suzzallo Library (Seattle) Among the many beautiful features of the campus at the University of Washington, such as its cherry flowers and a light rail station, Suzzallo Library was built in the Collegiate Gothic style. Its buttresses (扶壁) are decorated with 18 statues featuring famous academics and writers such as Plato, Shakespeare, Leonardo da Vinci, Dante, Galileo, Beethoven, Isaac Newton and Charles Darwin. Library of Muyinga (Muyinga, Burundi) A school for deaf children, the Library of Muyinga in Burundi was built with local techniques and traditions. A rope hammock (吊床) that hangs between the first and second floors of the library serves as part of the children’s reading room, a great place for indoor activities.

B I was 6 years old when my father told me we were leaving the Big Apple Circus (马戏团). Until that point, I had spent most of my life on the circus lot, playing with the other circus kids. The circus, by its nature, is one that has a loose structure. So the early years after my leaving the circus to sit in a classroom all day felt more like a prison. But years later, I found areas that interested me. I took the skills I had learned from being onstage and applied them to broadcasting. And so when Boston’s news station WBUR offered me a job out of college, I jumped at the chance. Along the way, I found I really enjoyed the work. I became WBUR’s news reporter. The flexibility and adaptability I’d learned in the circus as a child helped me do my job naturally and easily in a stressful situation — whether it was a destructive tornado outside Boston, or the Boston Marathon bombings of 2013. But then a serious infectious disease appeared. Suddenly, for the first time in my adult life, I went for a year without doing any shows. But it became clear to me that performing was what I truly wanted. For me, the circus symbolizes who I am. And stages have always been where I’ve felt the most free. Some people get nervous before they go onstage, but by assuming (扮演) the character of Jacques ze Whipper and drawing a stupid moustache on my face, all my social anxiety disappears. Circus performances go beyond age, socioeconomic status (地位), and even language. It’s the type of performance where you can go anywhere in the world to entertain anyone — help anyone forget their troubles for 5, 10, and even 30 minutes. And most importantly, for me, it means coming home. 4. How did the author feel in the early years of school? A. Curious. B. Unfree. C. Loose. D. Impatient. 5. What do we know about the author’s job at WBUR? A. He did it for his father. B. He did it against his will. C. He risked his neck doing it. D. He took to it like a duck to water. 6. What does the circus probably mean to the author? A. A means of living. B. A chance to go anywhere. C. A part of his identity. D. A way to forget his troubles. 7. Why does the author write the text? A. To express his love for circus performances. B. To stress the value of performing. C. To share his personal experiences in a circus. D. To discuss the problem of choosing a job. C Now, a study proves that gardens are more than just a pretty place. The study, by researchers at Illinois State University, demonstrates that such constructed gardens can have a measurable and positive impact on water quality. Floating gardens are essentially platforms built and wrapped in coconut husks (椰子壳), and filled in with native plantings. As plants grow, they extend their roots into the water. On the North Branch of the Chicago River, non-profit Urban Rivers and its partners are developing a mile-long floating eco-park called the Wild Mile. The re-development of this former industrial canal is Urban Rivers’ important project. As part of the park, floating gardens, attached to shore, are being fixed. The primary aim of the floating gardens is beautification. But the Illinois State team, from the University’s Department of Geology, Geography, and the Environment, saw an ideal setup for a controlled experiment. “We joined it because it’s the perfect opportunity to see if there’s an influence on water quality,” explains lead author Abigail Heath. The study is novel: previous studies have explored floating gardens’ influence on water quality over time, primarily in wastewater treatment ponds, but not over space, in moving water. The project also matches well with Urban Rivers’ broader goals. “The city is interested in bettering water quality,” says Phil Nicodemus, Urban Rivers’ Director of Research. “Happily, Illinois State took part in it later.” Could this small human-made park improve water quality? An average of data collected over the course of the study shows middle but definitive improvement. For example, nitrogen (氮) dropped from 4.69 milligrams per liter in surface water to 4.43 milligrams per liter, a drop of about 1 percent. “Despite how small this garden was, there was measurable improvement in water quality from upstream to downstream,” notes Heath. She and her colleagues see this as a model for how large floating gardens should be to help improve water in similar settings. “Even this tiny garden makes a difference,” she says. 8. What can be inferred from the second paragraph? A. The floating gardens are environmentally friendly. B. The floating gardens are fixed everywhere in the eco-park. C. The floating gardens can help fix the former parks. D. The Urban Rivers were once industrial canals. 9. What is the main reason to build the floating gardens? A. To reduce waste water. B. To attract more visitors to the park. C. To make the surroundings brilliant. D. To help researchers do the experiment. 10. What does the underlined word “it” refer to in Paragraph 4? A. The floating garden. B. The project. C. The treatment of ponds. D. The quality of water. 11. Which of the following could be the best title for the text? A. Floating Gardens: More than Pretty B. The Best Way to Better Water Quality C. A Practical Method of Improving Parks D. Floating Gardens Beautify the City D Stressed at work and feeling your blood pressure rise? People all over the world are told by their doctors to try for a low-sodium (钠) diet to treat high blood pressure or other diseases, but there’s no denying that salt makes food taste good. Fortunately, Japanese researchers at Tokyo’s Meiji University and the manufacturer Kirin have developed high-tech chopsticks that enhance salty tastes, potentially helping those who need to reduce sodium in their diets. These wired-up chopsticks are actually part of a device that the researchers say can enhance the salty flavor of low-sodium foods. And when they were tested on participants for the first time, results showed that the high-tech chopsticks increase perceived (察觉到) saltiness in foods by about 1.5 times. According to the research team, the basic principle is that the extra salty flavor is perceived due to extremely weak electric currents conveyed directly into the mouth through the tip of one of the chopsticks. Scientists have apparently been using this kind of weak electricity to play with flavors in the lab for years, but these chopsticks in particular are set to adjust the activity of ions (离子) in sodium chloride (table salt), which enhances salty flavor. And do these chopsticks work as expected? To verify the effect of the new chopsticks, the researchers conducted an experiment on a total of 36 participants aged 40 to 65, all of whom were eating a low-sodium diet. If nothing else, one thing was clear: participants using the chopsticks tasted more salt than they did without. Results show that they even thought that low-sodium food eaten with the high-tech chopsticks tasted saltier than regular food made with an average amount of sodium, and eaten with normal chopsticks. The chopsticks aren’t on store shelves quite yet, but with promising results, people around the world who are unhappily devoted to a low-sodium diet might just be excited for any updates to come! 12 What is the main function of the future high-tech chopsticks? A. To treat blood pressure. B. To test how salty a dish is. C. To increase the saltiness of food. D. To help reduce salt intake. 13. How do the high-tech chopsticks work? A. By sending warning information to the brain. B. By changing the saltiness of food with electric shocks. C. By using electricity to transport ions between chopsticks. D. By tricking our brains into tasting extra salt. 14. What does the underlined word “verify” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Confirm. B. Improve. C. Change. D. Strengthen. 15. What is the writer’s attitude toward the future of the chopsticks? A. Doubtful. B. Optimistic. C. Uncertain. D. Pessimistic. 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 For most people traveling abroad, their first choice is probably to make a beeline for (直奔) tourist sights.

For me, the Easter holidays were so boring that it was impossible to find something fun to do. My mom had suggested that I do some studies since the promotion test was coming up. However, I didn’t follow my mother’s suggestion. Instead, I went outside to seek out my friends to play with. When I had successfully contacted some of my friends, none of them seemed to be much in a playful mood, but one friend Jimmy agreed to play with me. He suggested we go down to the river and just relax there. The river was not far from my home, and we arrived there quickly. Just relaxing on the river bank with nothing but some waste logs, it wasn’t fun for us at first. Clearly what was on our minds was to jump into the river and just take a swim in the clear cool water. So we took off our clothes down to our underwear and walked into the shallow part of the water. The water was truly cool and refreshing and we were starting to have fun then, playing and laughing, as we splashed the cool water onto each other’s faces. Then we started to chase each other around on the river bank and then we ran straight into the river. We were having so much fun that we didn’t notice danger was around the corner. Before Jimmy could know it, and before he could do anything to keep his balance, he lost his footing on a tree branch, which was in the shallow part of the water, and slipped, bringing his whole entire body into the deep water. He tried to resurface from the water but found it extremely hard to keep his head above the water. 注意：1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I was scared to see him struggling in the water but I knew I must rescue him. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After a while, Jimmy recovered from panic and thanked my mom and the neighbors. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
