In April 2008, I came across an essay a boy with autism (自闭症) had written when he was 14. I was impressed. I thought there was potential for a documentary. The director agreed. “Find the boy!” he said. A couple of months later, I found him, Anton. So it began -a film about Anton’s transformation. At least, that’s what I thought at the time.
During filming I helped put him into different hospitals and camps for treatment and we became close. There were lots of unforgettable moments. I remember one visit when we sat together, talking quietly and eating food I’d made. Then it was time for me to go. Without saying a word, Anton stood up and started to bang his head against the wall. BAM. BAM. Blood streamed down his face. At that moment, looking at the despair on Anton’s face, I recognized myself. What I recognized was an emotional abundance in him that I had myself. Like Anton, I was over the top. If I loved someone, I loved them completely. If I was upset, I let it show. But unlike Anton, I’d learned to edit emotions as if they were a film. But lately, I was waking up in the morning with one terrifying thought: “Who am I?” Anton helped me to answer this. He was the only person in my life who let me love without any holding back and who loved me the same way.
The film Anton’s Right Here was released in October 2012 and shown at film festivals in Russia where it received prizes at several major Russian film festivals.
After the film was shown by the First TV Channel -Russia’s main TV channel - letters flowed in. Autistic individuals and their families needed help. That’s when the idea of a foundation began to take shape in my mind. The foundation, called Anton’s Right Here, officially opened in December 2013. It’s Russia’s first-ever centre for adults with autism. It keeps helping people with autism like Anton.
When we started to film, Anton was 19. He’s now 31. I’m still very much a part of his life. With his unedited emotions, Anton reminds me every day of what it’s like to be really, unreservedly loved and to love back in return.
4. Why did the writer want to find Anton?
A. She intended to make a film about Anton. B. She saw Anton’s potential to be a writer.
C. She wanted to transform Anton’s life. D. She was asked to do so by the director.
5. Why did Anton hurt himself during a visit?
A. He was lost for words. B. His condition was getting worse.
C. He tended to lose his temper for no reason. D. He did not want the writer to leave.
6. What do we know about the documentary from the passage?
A. It took 5 years to shoot. B. It aroused little social concern.
C. A foundation of the same name was established by Anton. D. Shooting it made a difference to the writer’s life.
7. What lesson did the writer learn from Anton?
A. How to deal with autism. B. How to edit her emotions.
C. How to love and be loved. D. How to live life to the fullest.
C
For those who can stomach it, working out before breakfast may be more beneficial for health than eating first, according to a study of meal timing and physical activity.
Athletes and scientists have long known that meal timing affects performance. However, far less has been known about how meal timing and exercise might affect general health.
To find out, British scientists conducted a study. They first found 10 overweight and inactive but otherwise healthy young men, whose lifestyles are, for better and worse, representative of those of most of us. They tested the men’s fitness and resting metabolic (新陈代谢的) rates and took samples (样品) of their blood and fat tissue.
Then, on two separate morning visits to the scientists’ lab, each man walked for an hour at an average speed that, in theory, should allow his body to rely mainly on fat for fuel. Before one of these workouts, the men skipped breakfast, meaning that they exercised on a completely empty stomach after a long overnight fast (禁食). On the other occasion, they ate a rich morning meal about two hours before they started walking.
Just before and an hour after each workout, the scientists took additional samples of the men’s blood and fat tissue.
Then they compared the samples. There were considerable differences. Most obviously, the men displayed lower blood sugar levels at the start of their workouts when they had skipped breakfast than when they had eaten. As a result, they burned more fat during walks on an empty stomach than when they had eaten first. On the other hand, they burned slightly more calories (卡路里), on average, during the workout after breakfast than after fasting.
But it was the effects deep within the fat cells that may have been the most significant, the researchers found. Multiple genes behaved differently, depending on whether someone had eaten or not before walking. Many of these genes produce proteins (蛋白质) that can improve blood sugar regulation and insulin (胰岛素) levels throughout the body and so are associated with improved metabolic health. These genes were much more active when the men had fasted before exercise than when they had breakfasted.
The implication of these results is that to gain the greatest health benefits from exercise, it may be wise to skip eating first.
8. The underlined expression “stomach it” in Paragraph 1 most probably means “______”.
A. digest the meal easily B. manage without breakfast
C. decide wisely what to eat D. eat whatever is offered
9. Why were the 10 people chosen for the experiment?
A. Their lifestyles were typical of ordinary people.
B. Their lack of exercise led to overweight.
C. They could walk at an average speed.
D. They had slow metabolic rates.
10. What happened to those who ate breakfast before exercise?
A. They successfully lost weight. B. They consumed a bit more calories.
C. They burned more fat on average. D. They displayed higher insulin levels.
11. What could be learned from the research?
A. A workout after breakfast improves gene performances.
B. Too much workout often slows metabolic rates.
C. Lifestyle is not as important as morning exercise.
D. Physical exercise before breakfast is better for health.
D
When researchers found a hummingbird with shiny gold feathers on its throat in Peru’s Cordillera Azul National Park, they thought it was a newly discovered species. After conducting a DNA analysis of the bird, researchers made a surprising discovery that it was a hybrid that resulted from two related pink hummingbird species. However, they found the gold-throated hummingbird wasn’t the result of an even genetic split(分离).
Since it’s rare for hummingbirds of the same species to have such wildly different throat feathers, the researchers dived deeper into the mystery of the gold feathers on the hybrid species. “It’s a little like cooking: If you mix salt and water, you kind of know what you’re gonna get, but mixing two complex recipes together might give more unpredictable results,” said study coauthor Chad Eliason, Field Museum senior research scientist, in a statement. “This hybrid is a mix of two complex recipes for a feather from its two parent species.”
The base color of feathers comes from pigment(色素), but feather cell structure and the way light reflects off the feathers create structural color. It is this structural color that generates the colourful nature of hummingbird feathers.
The researchers hope their work inspires others to keep an eye out for potential hybrid species of hummingbirds, Mauro, a curator of birds at Chicago’s Field Museum said.
“New tools like genetic data open up new understanding of how these events happen across geography and time,” Mauro said. “One question we want to look into in the region in Peru where this study was done is how this complex foothill landscape has evolved through time and what role those changes have played in diversification of birds and other organisms.”
12. What can we know about the gold-throated hummingbird?
A. It is a foreign species. B. Its feathers reflect off more light.
C. It is a relative to known species. D. Its throat is different in structure.
13. Why does the study coauthor mention “cooking” in paragraph 2?
A. To introduce a topic. B. To give an example.
C. To present an issue. D. To explain a phenomenon.
14. What directly results in hummingbirds’ colourful feathers?
A. The base color. B. The pigment.
C. The feather cell structure. D. The structrual color.
15. What is the writer likely to write about after the last paragraph?
A. Where the study is carried out.
B. How new tools are used in the research.
C. The role of landscape changes in birds’ evolution.
D. The method of identifying the gold-throated hummingbird.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整短文。
Tom’s family was a small family on the coastal line of a small village. Tom was 11 years old. He was tall, dark and handsome and had a lot of dreams. He had always dreamt of living in a city. He was always his dad’s charm, as he was not quite happy to spend time with his mom. All he could remember about his mom was her scars, red and white scars on her face, neck and hands. He always felt unpleasant to see his mom’s face. But what he did not know was that his mom scratched her beauty to save him from a fire when he was one year old. Not wanting to burden him with it, Tom’s parents kept it a secret.
His mom Maria used to drop him to school and pick him up every day. He felt awkward to see his mom with that scarred face standing in front of the school gate. As he was laughing and chatting with his fellow schoolmates, all of them became silent and started staring at the gate. So, Tom turned towards the gate with a lot of curiosity. He froze when seeing his mom, face covered with a piece of cloth. Tom felt ashamed and rushed out of the school with lots of anger.
With days passing by, Tom started to dislike his mom more. He did not like to get picked up or dropped by his mom. He felt that she was ugly and so abnormal. As he grew old, he stopped going out with her to the market or anywhere outside. Kamala tried her best to make her son happy, got him everything that he wanted and gave him his space. She understood what her son was going through and felt pity for herself and sad for her son, as she was helpless.
When Tom turned 16, he was sent to a city high school 80 kilometers away from his coastal village. The very thought of not being with his ugly mother made him very happy.
Three years later, then came Tom’s graduation ceremony. His parents didn’t want to be absent from such an important occasion, so they managed to be there without informing Tom.
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。
Tom was shocked when he saw his parents appear at the ceremony hall.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Hesitating for a moment, Tom’s father told him everything that happened many years ago.

In April 2008, I came across an essay a boy with autism (自闭症) had written when he was 14. I was impressed. I thought there was potential for a documentary. The director agreed. “Find the boy!” he said. A couple of months later, I found him, Anton. So it began -a film about Anton’s transformation. At least, that’s what I thought at the time.
During filming, I helped put him into different hospitals and camps for treatment and we became close. There were lots of unforgettable moments. I remember one visit when we sat together, talking quietly and eating food I’d made. Then it was time for me to go. Without saying a word, Anton stood up and started to bang his head against the wall. BAM. BAM. Blood streamed down his face. At that moment, looking at the despair on Anton’s face, I recognized myself. What I recognized was an emotional abundance in him that I had myself. Like Anton, I was over the top. If I loved someone, I loved them completely. If I was upset, I let it show. But unlike Anton, I’d learned to edit emotions as if they were a film. But lately, I was waking up in the morning with one terrifying thought: “Who am I?” Anton helped me to answer this. He was the only person in my life who let me love without any holding back and who loved me the same way.
The film Anton’s Right Here was released in October 2012 and shown at film festivals in Russia where it received prizes at several major Russian film festivals.
After the film was shown by the First TV Channel -Russia’s main TV channel - letters flowed in. Autistic individuals and their families needed help. That’s when the idea of a foundation began to take shape in my mind. The foundation, called Anton’s Right Here, officially opened in December 2013. It’s Russia’s first-ever centre for adults with autism. It keeps helping people with autism like Anton.
When we started to film, Anton was 19. He’s now 31. I’m still very much a part of his life. With his unedited emotions, Anton reminds me every day of what it’s like to be really, unreservedly loved and to love back in return.
4. Why did the writer want to find Anton?
A. She intended to make a film about Anton. B. She saw Anton’s potential to be a writer.
C. She wanted to transform Anton’s life. D. She was asked to do so by the director.
5. Why did Anton hurt himself during a visit?
A. He was lost for words. B. His condition was getting worse.
C. He tended to lose his temper for no reason. D. He did not want the writer to leave.
6. What do we know about the documentary from the passage?
A. It took 5 years to shoot. B. It aroused little social concern.
C. A foundation of the same name was established by Anton. D. Shooting it made a difference to the writer’s life.
7. What lesson did the writer learn from Anton?
A. How to deal with autism. B. How to edit her emotions.
C. How to love and be loved. D. How to live life to the fullest.
【答案】4. A 5. D 6. D 7. C

For those who can stomach it, working out before breakfast may be more beneficial for health than eating first, according to a study of meal timing and physical activity.
Athletes and scientists have long known that meal timing affects performance. However, far less has been known about how meal timing and exercise might affect general health.
To find out, British scientists conducted a study. They first found 10 overweight and inactive but otherwise healthy young men, whose lifestyles are, for better and worse, representative of those of most of us. They tested the men’s fitness and resting metabolic (新陈代谢的) rates and took samples (样品) of their blood and fat tissue.
Then, on two separate morning visits to the scientists’ lab, each man walked for an hour at an average speed that, in theory, should allow his body to rely mainly on fat for fuel. Before one of these workouts, the men skipped breakfast, meaning that they exercised on a completely empty stomach after a long overnight fast (禁食). On the other occasion, they ate a rich morning meal about two hours before they started walking.
Just before and an hour after each workout, the scientists took additional samples of the men’s blood and fat tissue.
Then they compared the samples. There were considerable differences. Most obviously, the men displayed lower blood sugar levels at the start of their workouts when they had skipped breakfast than when they had eaten. As a result, they burned more fat during walks on an empty stomach than when they had eaten first. On the other hand, they burned slightly more calories (卡路里), on average, during the workout after breakfast than after fasting.
But it was the effects deep within the fat cells that may have been the most significant, the researchers found. Multiple genes behaved differently, depending on whether someone had eaten or not before walking. Many of these genes produce proteins (蛋白质) that can improve blood sugar regulation and insulin (胰岛素) levels throughout the body and so are associated with improved metabolic health. These genes were much more active when the men had fasted before exercise than when they had breakfasted.
The implication of these results is that to gain the greatest health benefits from exercise, it may be wise to skip eating first.
8. The underlined expression “stomach it” in Paragraph 1 most probably means “______”.
A. digest the meal easily B. manage without breakfast
C. decide wisely what to eat D. eat whatever is offered
9 Why were the 10 people chosen for the experiment?
A. Their lifestyles were typical of ordinary people.
B. Their lack of exercise led to overweight.
C. They could walk at an average speed.
D. They had slow metabolic rates.
10. What happened to those who ate breakfast before exercise?
A. They successfully lost weight. B. They consumed a bit more calories.
C. They burned more fat on average. D. They displayed higher insulin levels.
11. What could be learned from the research?
A. A workout after breakfast improves gene performances.
B. Too much workout often slows metabolic rates.
C. Lifestyle is not as important as morning exercise.
D. Physical exercise before breakfast is better for health.
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. B 11. D
【解析】
【分析】本文是说明文。文章介绍了一项研究,结果表明对于那些能忍受的人来说,不吃早餐锻炼可能对健康更有益。
【8题详解】
词句猜测题。根据下文working out before breakfast may be more beneficial for health than eating first可知,早餐前锻炼可能比先吃饭再锻炼对健康更有益,因此推断这里说的是那些不吃早饭先锻炼的人,因此推断划线词与B项“不吃早饭能应付”意思相近。故选B。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的They first found 10 overweight and inactive but otherwise healthy young men, whose lifestyles are, for better and worse, representative of those of most of us.可知,他们首先找到了10个超重的,不活跃但健康的年轻人,他们的生活方式可以说更好,也可以说更糟,代表了我们大多数人。因此可知,实验时选择的10个人的生活方式代表了普通人。故选A。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第六段的As a result, they burned more fat during walks on an empty stomach than when they had eaten first. On the other hand. they burned slightly more calories(卡路里), on average, during the workout after breakfast than after fasting.可知,结果,他们空腹散步时燃烧的脂肪比他们首先吃东西时所燃烧的脂肪要多。 另一方面。平均而言,他们在早餐后锻炼时燃烧的卡路里略多于禁食后。因此可知,锻炼前吃早饭消耗更多一点的热量。故选B。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段The implication of these results is that to gain the greatest health benefits from exercise, it may be wise to skip eating first.可知,这些结果的暗示,为了从运动中获得最大的健康益处,先不吃东西可能更明智。因此推断早饭前的体育锻炼对健康更有益。故选D。

When researchers found a hummingbird with shiny gold feathers on its throat in Peru’s Cordillera Azul National Park, they thought it was a newly discovered species. After conducting a DNA analysis of the bird, researchers made a surprising discovery that it was a hybrid that resulted from two related pink hummingbird species. However, they found the gold-throated hummingbird wasn’t the result of an even genetic split(分离).
Since it’s rare for hummingbirds of the same species to have such wildly different throat feathers, the researchers dived deeper into the mystery of the gold feathers on the hybrid species. “It’s a little like cooking: If you mix salt and water, you kind of know what you’re gonna get, but mixing two complex recipes together might give more unpredictable results,” said study coauthor Chad Eliason, Field Museum senior research scientist, in a statement. “This hybrid is a mix of two complex recipes for a feather from its two parent species.”
The base color of feathers comes from pigment(色素), but feather cell structure and the way light reflects off the feathers create structural color. It is this structural color that generates the colourful nature of hummingbird feathers.
The researchers hope their work inspires others to keep an eye out for potential hybrid species of hummingbirds, Mauro, a curator of birds at Chicago’s Field Museum said.
“New tools like genetic data open up new understanding of how these events happen across geography and time,” Mauro said. “One question we want to look into in the region in Peru where this study was done is how this complex foothill landscape has evolved through time and what role those changes have played in diversification of birds and other organisms.”
12. What can we know about the gold-throated hummingbird?
A. It is a foreign species. B. Its feathers reflect off more light.
C. It is a relative to known species. D. Its throat is different in structure.
13. Why does the study coauthor mention “cooking” in paragraph 2?
A. To introduce a topic. B. To give an example.
C. To present an issue. D. To explain a phenomenon.
14. What directly results in hummingbirds’ colourful feathers?
A. The base color. B. The pigment.
C. The feather cell structure. D. The structrual color.
15. What is the writer likely to write about after the last paragraph?
A. Where the study is carried out.
B. How new tools are used in the research.
C. The role of landscape changes in birds’ evolution.
D. The method of identifying the gold-throated hummingbird.
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. D 15. C

【导语】本文是说明文。主要介绍了研究人员在秘鲁的科迪勒拉阿苏尔国家公园发现一种喉咙上有闪亮金色羽毛的蜂鸟,发现是两种相关的粉红色蜂鸟的杂交产物,从而引起科学家们对激励其他人关注蜂鸟潜在的杂交物种。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“After conducting a DNA analysis of the bird, researchers made a surprising discovery that it was a hybrid that resulted from two related pink hummingbird species.(在对这种鸟进行DNA分析后,研究人员有了一个惊人的发现,它是两种相关的粉红色蜂鸟的杂交产物)”以及第二段中“This hybrid is a mix of two complex recipes for a feather from its two parent species.(这种杂交鸟是由两种复杂的羽毛配方混合而成的,它们来自两个亲本物种)”可知,关于金喉蜂鸟是已知物种的近亲。故选C项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“Since it’s rare for hummingbirds of the same species to have such wildly different throat feathers, the researchers dived deeper into the mystery of the gold feathers on the hybrid species. “It’s a little like cooking: If you mix salt and water, you kind of know what you’re gonna get, but mixing two complex recipes together might give more unpredictable results,” said study coauthor Chad Eliason, Field Museum senior research scientist, in a statement. “This hybrid is a mix of two complex recipes for a feather from its two parent species.”(由于同一物种的蜂鸟很少有如此截然不同的喉咙羽毛,研究人员深入研究了杂交物种上金色羽毛的奥秘。“这有点像烹饪:如果你把盐和水混合在一起,你大概知道你会得到什么,但把两种复杂的食谱混合在一起可能会得到更不可预测的结果,”研究合著者、菲尔德博物馆高级研究科学家查德·埃利亚松在一份声明中说。“这种杂交鸟是由两种复杂的羽毛配方混合而成的,它们来自两个亲本物种。”)”可推知,该研究的合著者在第2段中提到了“烹饪”是为了用混合食谱的例子来说明杂交物种上金色羽毛的奥秘。故选D项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“The base color of feathers comes from pigment, but feather cell structure and the way light reflects off the feathers create structural color. It is this structural color that generates the colourful nature of hummingbird feathers.(羽毛的底色来自色素,但羽毛细胞结构和光线从羽毛上反射的方式创造了结构色。正是这种结构颜色造就了蜂鸟羽毛的色彩)”可知,是羽毛细胞结构和光线从羽毛上反射的方式创造了结构色,所以结构色直接导致了蜂鸟彩色的羽毛。故选D项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“One question we want to look into in the region in Peru where this study was done is how this complex foothill landscape has evolved through time and what role those changes have played in diversification of birds and other organisms.(在秘鲁进行这项研究的地区,我们想要研究的一个问题是,这种复杂的山麓景观是如何随着时间的推移而演变的,这些变化在鸟类和其他生物的多样化中发挥了什么作用)”可推知,接下来一段可能会讲述景观变化在鸟类进化中的作用。故选C项。

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Tom’s family was a small family on the coastal line of a small village. Tom was 11 years old. He was tall, dark and handsome and had a lot of dreams. He had always dreamt of living in a city. He was always his dad’s charm, as he was not quite happy to spend time with his mom. All he could remember about his mom was her scars, red and white scars on her face, neck and hands. He always felt unpleasant to see his mom’s face. But what he did not know was that his mom scratched her beauty to save him from a fire when he was one year old. Not wanting to burden him with it, Tom’s parents kept it a secret.
His mom Maria used to drop him to school and pick him up every day. He felt awkward to see his mom with that scarred face standing in front of the school gate. As he was laughing and chatting with his fellow schoolmates, all of them became silent and started staring at the gate. So, Tom turned towards the gate with a lot of curiosity. He froze when seeing his mom, face covered with a piece of cloth. Tom felt ashamed and rushed out of the school with lots of anger.
With days passing by, Tom started to dislike his mom more. He did not like to get picked up or dropped by his mom. He felt that she was ugly and so abnormal. As he grew old, he stopped going out with her to the market or anywhere outside. Kamala tried her best to make her son happy, got him everything that he wanted and gave him his space. She understood what her son was going through and felt pity for herself and sad for her son, as she was helpless.
When Tom turned 16, he was sent to a city high school 80 kilometers away from his coastal village. The very thought of not being with his ugly mother made him very happy.
Three years later, then came Tom’s graduation ceremony. His parents didn’t want to be absent from such an important occasion, so they managed to be there without informing Tom.
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。
Tom was shocked when he saw his parents appear at the ceremony hall.

Hesitating for a moment, Tom’s father told him everything that happened many years ago.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Possible version:
Tom was shocked when he saw his parents appear at the ceremony hall. He stood rooted to the floor for a moment, not knowing what to do. Seconds later, he tried to contain himself and awkwardly walked up to greet his father, ignoring his mother’s existence. But when he heard others whispering about his mum’s ugly face, embarrassment came over him. With anger written all on his face, he pushed his mum hard out of the hall. Seeing Tom’s mum leave with deep sorrow, his father followed her out.
Hesitating for a moment, Tom’s father told him everything that happened many years ago. His mum got burnt severely to save him in a terrible fire. Tears streamed down his face when he recollected how much he had hurt her all these years, how he had ignored her and he realized the amount of pain and agony she had gone through. After the ceremony, he found his mum and embraced her, saying “Sorry” again and again. From then on, he thought of his mom’s face even with scars as the most beautiful face in the world and his mom as the most respected woman in the world.
【解析】
【导语】文章以人物为主要线索展开。Tom十一岁了,他一点都不喜欢和妈妈玩,因为妈妈的脸上,脖子上还有手上全都是红色白色的伤疤。Tom也不喜欢让妈妈送他上学、接他放学,他害怕同学们异样的眼光和窃窃私语。父母为了不让他有负担,没有告诉他,妈妈的美貌是在火中救一岁的 Tom 的时候失去的。后来Tom去市里上高中,他因为不用再和丑陋的妈妈一起生活而感到开心。一转眼Tom要毕业了,父母不想缺席毕业典礼,没有告诉儿子,就来到了他的毕业典礼上。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“当Tom看到他的父母到达仪式大厅时,他很震惊。”可知,第一段可描写Tom的反应和做法,他很生气,努力地控制着自己,走向爸爸跟前,但是听到别人议论妈妈的外表,他把妈妈推出了仪式大厅,看到妈妈伤心地离开,爸爸跟了出去。
②由第二段首句内容“父亲犹豫了一下,把多年前发生的一切都告诉了他。”可知,第二段可描写Tom得知真相后感到后悔,从此以后不再因为妈妈的伤疤而疏远妈妈。
2.续写线索:和父亲打招呼——尴尬——生气地把妈妈推出去——父亲解释——懊悔——道歉——改变
