【答案】
1.What/How about
【详解】考查短语。What/How about……怎么样。根据句意,故填What/How about。

【详解】考查短语。neither ... nor ...既不……也不……,连接两个名词在句中作主语。根据句意,故填Neither his mother nor his father。
3.That’s why

4.alarm

8.Speaking of
【解析】考查固定短语和插入语。句意:说到大学,提高你的语言技能可能会帮助你进入你梦想的大学。speaking of...为固定短语,意为“说到/谈到……”,常在句中作插入语,用于提及新的话题,另外,句首单词首字母大写。故填Speaking of。

The recent spread of “fake news” may make it seem like misinformation is a relatively modern invention. But falsehoods (假话) and wild claims have been part of human culture for about as long as it’s existed. This is because misinformation originates with, and is spread by, fellow humans.
When you’ve ever had to communicate an important, but complex, issue to a general audience, you may have a sea of the most reliable data, the most elegant PowerPoint slides and the full backing of every famous expert in the relevant field. And yet, you can still be less persuasive than someone whose entire argument is: “A guy I met down the pub told me something different.”
In a perfectly sensible, logical world, someone who is loosely connected with a certain field or industry wouldn’t have the same influence as actual data, or the leading experts in the field. But humans aren’t perfectly sensible, logical creatures and neither is the world we live in.
The ability to think rationally and analytically is a relatively recent addition to our mental abilities (in the evolutionary sense). And it costs our brains a lot of energy and effort, The more established, fundamental systems in our brain, which shape memory and learning, are heavily reliant on emotion. The more emotionally stimulating something is, the easier it is to remember. That’s why we can spend months revising the material for a crucial school exam, but struggle to remember any of it once we’ve passed. Meanwhile, the embarrassing tine we slipped and landed on our backside in the school canteen. that memory will last until our dying day.
The most determined sceptics (无神论者) will often say, “Facts don’t care about your feelings,” which is correct. But feelings don’t necessarily care about facts either. And ultimately, feelings have more of a say in what we think and do. And that’s why your mate down the pub can seem more believable than a pile of published research.
1.What contributes to the spread of “fake news”?
A.People factor. B.Human culture.
C.Modern invention. D.Information accuracy.
2.Why did the general audiences think actual data less persuasive?
A.They prefer making sensible analyses. B.They ae more likely to be emotional.
C.They have more trust in authority. D.They overestimate themselves.

A.By listing figures. B.By giving examples.
C.By explaining a concept. D.By citing experts’ words.
4.What is the author’s purpose of writing the passage?
A.To reveal secrets. B.To share emotions.
C.To criticize a decision. D.To describe a phenomenon.
【答案】1.A 2.B 3.B 4.D
【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章主要论述了假新闻社会现象背后的原因主要是人的传播,普通观众认为实际数据不那么有说服力因为他们更容易情绪化。
1.细节理解题。根据第一段“This is because misinformation originates with, and is spread by, fellow humans.(这是因为错误信息起源于人类同胞,并由人类同胞传播)”可知,人的因素促成了“假新闻”的传播。故选A。
2.细节理解题。根据第三段“In a perfectly sensible, logical world, someone who is loosely connected with a certain field or industry wouldn’t have the same influence as actual data, or the leading experts in the field. But humans aren’t perfectly sensible, logical creatures and neither is the world we live in.(在一个完全理性、合乎逻辑的世界里,与某个领域或行业联系不紧密的人,不会像实际数据或该领域的顶尖专家那样具有同样的影响力。但人类并不是完全明智、合乎逻辑的生物,我们生活的世界也不是)”可知,普通观众认为实际数据不那么有说服力因为他们更容易情绪化。故选B。
3.推理判断题。根据第四段“The ability to think rationally and analytically is a relatively recent addition to our mental abilities (in the evolutionary sense). And it costs our brains a lot of energy and effort, The more established, fundamental systems in our brain, which shape memory and learning, are heavily reliant on emotion. The more emotionally stimulating something is, the easier it is to remember. That’s why we can spend months revising the material for a crucial school exam, but struggle to remember any of it once we’ve passed. Meanwhile, the embarrassing tine we slipped and landed on our backside in the school canteen. that memory will last until our dying day.(理性思考和分析的能力是相对较新的心智能力(在进化的意义上)。我们大脑中形成记忆和学习的更成熟、更基本的系统严重依赖于情感。越是能激发情感的东西,就越容易被记住。这就是为什么我们可以花几个月的时间复习一场重要的学校考试的材料,但一旦我们通过了,就很难记住任何内容。与此同时,我们尴尬地滑倒在学校食堂里。这种记忆将持续到我们死去的那一天)”可推知,作者在第4段通过举例阐述他的观点。故选B。
4.推理判断题。根据第一段“The recent spread of “fake news” may make it seem like misinformation is a relatively modern invention. But falsehoods (假话) and wild claims have been part of human culture for about as long as it’s existed. This is because misinformation originates with, and is spread by, fellow humans.(最近“假新闻”的传播可能会让人觉得错误信息是一种相对现代的发明。但是,只要人类文化存在,谎言和疯狂的主张就已经成为人类文化的一部分。这是因为错误信息起源于人类同胞,并由人类同胞传播)”可知,文章主要说明了假新闻社会现象背后的原因主要是人的传播,普通观众认为实际数据不那么有说服力因为他们更容易情绪化。由此推知,作者写这篇文章的目的是描述一种现象。故选D。

How to Become a Morning Person
Everyone knows that early to bed and early to rise is good for health. 1 Here are some ways you can focus on that can help you become a better morning person.
Shift your bedtime.
2 Most people should aim for at least seven hours a night — so you’ll probably need to inch your bedtime forward as you transition (过渡) to a new schedule. You could fall straight into getting up at your desired time every day, knowing that you’ll feel tired during the transition but will naturally start falling asleep earlier within a few weeks.
Relax before bed.
Don’t watch TV or fiddle around (摆弄) with laptops right before you go to bed because they are shining light into your eyes and maybe even tricking your brain into thinking that it’s earlier than it really is. 3 Try not to do anything too stimulating before bed, and instead focus on relaxing activities like taking a bath or listening to comfortable music.
4
The secret to becoming a morning person is exposure to bright light. That’s because light suppresses (抑制) melatonin, a hormone (激素) that plays an important role in circadian (昼夜) rhythm. Natural light is the best, so get outside or open your bedroom window.
Make mornings more pleasant.
Try to schedule something to look forward to in the morning so that getting up feels like less hard. Perhaps a hot cup of coffee, sipped in silence, and the daily crossword puzzle. 5
A.Lighten up.
B.Work up a sweat.
C.It’s important to make sure you’re getting enough sleep.
D.But many people have great difficulty in getting up early.
E.It’s hard to stop surfing the internet late at night if you’re a night owl.
F.Make sure the light around you is not too bright when it’s close to your bedtime.
G.Knowing that something pleasant awaits can help you take that first painful step out of bed.
【答案】1.D 2.C 3.F 4.A 5.G
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了如何成为一个早起的人。
1.根据上文“Everyone knows that early to bed and early to rise is good for health.(每个人都知道早睡早起对健康有益)”及下文“Here are some ways you can focus on that can help you become a better morning person.(下面是一些你可以关注的方法,它们可以帮助你成为一个更好的早起的人)”可知,选项承上启下,说明早起对于很多人来说很困难。故D选项“但是很多人早起都有很大的困难”切题。故选D项。
2.根据标题“Shift your bedtime.(改变就寝时间)”及下文“Most people should aim for at least seven hours a night — so you’ll probably need to inch your bedtime forward as you transition (过渡) to a new schedule.(大多数人的目标应该是每晚至少睡7个小时,所以当你过渡到一个新的时间表时,你可能需要把你的就寝时间提前一点)”可知,改变就寝时间也要保证充足的睡眠,所以大多数人的目标应该是每晚至少睡7个小时。故C选项“确保充足的睡眠是很重要的”切题。故选C项。
3.根据下文“Try not to do anything too stimulating before bed, and instead focus on relaxing activities like taking a bath or listening to comfortable music.(睡前尽量不要做任何太刺激的事情,而是专注于放松的活动,比如洗澡或听舒适的音乐)”可知,选项与下文为并列关系说明保证睡前放松的措施。故F选项“在临近就寝时间时,确保周围的光线不要太亮”切题。故选F项。
4.根据下文“The secret to becoming a morning person is exposure to bright light.(成为早起者的秘诀是暴露在明亮的光线下)”可知,本段告诉我们要接触阳光。故A选项“接触阳光”切题。为本段的标题。故选A项
5.根据上文“Try to schedule something to look forward to in the morning so that getting up feels like less hard. Perhaps a hot cup of coffee, sipped in silence, and the daily crossword puzzle.(试着在早上安排一些值得期待的事情,这样起床就不那么困难了。也许是一杯热咖啡,静静地啜饮,还有每日的填字游戏)”可知,选项承接上文是对上文的总结。故G选项“知道有快乐的事情在等着你,可以帮助你走出痛苦的第一步。”切题。故选G项。
