Teenagers who talk on the cell phone a lot, and hold their phones up to their right ears, score worse on one type of memory test. That’s the finding of a new study. That memory impairment might be one side effect of the radiation (放射线) that phones use to keep us connected while we’re on the go.
The teens took memory tests twice, one year apart. Nearly 700 Swiss teens took part in a test of figural memory. This type helps us remember abstract (抽象) symbols and shapes, explains Milena Foerster. Each time, they had one minute to remember 13 pairs of abstract shapes. Then they were shown one item from each pair and asked to match it with one of the five choices. The study volunteers also took a test of verbal memory. That’s the ability to remember words. The two memory tests are part of an intelligence test.
The researchers also surveyed the teens on how they use cell phones. And they got call records from phone companies. The researchers used those records to figure out how long the teens were using their phones.
This allowed the researchers to work out how big radiation exposure (接触) each person could have got while talking.
A phone user’s exposure to the radiation can differ widely. Some teens talk on their phones more than others. People also hold their phones differently. If the phone is close to the ear, more radiation may enter the body, Foerster notes.
The teens’ scores in the figural memory tests were roughly the same from one year to the next. But those who normally held their phones near the right ears, and who were also exposed to higher levels of radiation, scored a little bit worse after a year. No group of teens showed big changes on the verbal memory test. Why might one type of memory be linked to cell phone use, but not another? Foerster thinks it could have to do with where different memory centers sit in the brain. The site that deals with the ability to remember shapes is near the right ear.
4. The underlined word “impairment” in Paragraph 1 most probably mean “_______ ”.
A. result B. damage C. mistake D. improvement
5. Which of the following can be learned from Paragraph 2 and Paragraph 3?
A. The teens took two types of memory tests four times in total.
B. The teens needed to report the average time spent on their phones.
C. Researchers paid little attention to the teens’ habits of using phones.
D. The teens’ ability of remembering words is shown in figural memory test.
6. According to the study, teens who use their phone s to their right ears a lot do worse in _____.
A. matching numbers B. reading signals C. remembering shape D. learning words
7. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Cell Phone Use and Safety Warnings
B. Facts About Cell Phone Use at School
C. Dangerous Levels of Cell Phone Use Among Teens
D. Teen’s Cell Phone Use Linked to Memory Problems
【答案】4. B 5. A 6. C 7. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文,主要讲的是一项新的研究发现,经常打电话、把手机举到右耳的青少年在一种记忆测试中得分更低,这种记忆损伤可能是手机辐射的副作用所导致。文章同时说明了研究的过程以及影响受到辐射程度的因素。
【4题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段“Teenagers who talk on the cell phone a lot, and hold their phones up to their right ears, score worse on one type of memory test.(在一项记忆力测试中,经常打电话并把手机举到右耳前的青少年得分更低。)”可知,手机辐射会造成记忆的损伤。故可推测划线单词impairment的意思为“破坏,损坏”,和damage意思相近。故选B。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“The teens took memory tests twice, one year apart. Nearly 700 Swiss teens took part in a test of figural memory.(这些青少年进行了两次记忆测试,间隔一年。近700名瑞士青少年参加了一项数字记忆测试。)”和“The study volunteers also took a test of verbal memory.(参与研究的志愿者还进行了口头记忆测试。)”可知,这些青少年总共接受了四次两种类型的记忆测试。故选A。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“The site that deals with the ability to remember shapes is near the right ear.(处理形状记忆能力的部位在右耳附近。)”可知,根据这项研究,使用手机对着右耳的青少年在记忆形状方面做得更差。故选C。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段第一句“Teenagers who talk on the cell phone a lot, and hold their phones up to their right ears, score worse on one type of memory test.(在一项记忆力测试中,经常打电话并把手机举到右耳前青少年得分更低。)”可知,本文主要讲的是研究发现,经常将手机举到右耳前打电话的青少年在图形记忆测试中的得分较低,这一现象可能与手机辐射对大脑右侧记忆中心的潜在影响有关,因此本文最好的题目是D选项“Teen’s Cell Phone Use Linked to Memory Problems(青少年使用手机与记忆问题有关)”。故选D。
C
An adult African elephant consumes about 223 liters of water and 3,080 pounds of roots, grass and fruit daily. That’s like having 634 cans of soda and 1,200 hamburgers every day. This keeps them moving thousands of miles across Africa each year. Elephants usually migrate between March and May. Females live in groups with their children, and quickly run out of the food supply. They hit the road in search of food. Male elephants live alone, so they don’t use resources as quickly as the females. Instead, they migrate during their mating cycle. When the females pack their trunks, so do the males.
During migration, elephants face short water supplies and extremely high temperatures. But people are their number-one problem. Poachers (偷猎者) kill 35,000 elephants each year for ivory. Many African farmers build fences (栅栏) to protect crops and cattle, which might block regular migration paths. Traffic roads affect elephant migration, too. During one study of 28 elephants in Central Africa, only one female crossed an unprotected road.
Scientists, wildlife organizations and governments cooperate to find solutions for Africa’s elephants. “To unlock the secret of where elephants move and how they move, we place collars (项圈) with a satellite unit inside,” Dr. Michael Chase says. GPS collars help map which routes elephants use most so that countries can establish protected elephant passages.
Locals come in as well. James Isiche, East Africa Director of the International Fund for Animal Welfare says, “We have got the community on our side by a project; they’ve agreed to partner with us to conserve elephants.” The local community run wildlife parks to attract tourists. “This project helps us take care of both the wildlife and our cows,” says Sikira, a tribal elder in Maasai, Kenya. Protecting elephant migration routes allows these gentle giants to survive.
8 What can we learn about the elephants from paragraph 1?
A. They show an interest in hamburgers.
B. They move south to survive the cold.
C. They migrate for different reasons.
D. Females live shorter for food shortage.
9. What is paragraph 2 of the text mainly about?
A. Results of poaching. B. Reasons for killing elephants.
C. Difficulties in migrating. D. Efforts to protect migration paths.
10. Why are collars applied by scientists?
A. To discover the secret of migration.
B. To track elephants with technology.
C. To identify the population of elephants.
D. To explore a new route for migration.
11. What is the best title for the text?
A. Say No to Ivory B. A Journey in Africa
C. Ready for the Move D. Technology in Migration
【答案】8. C 9. C 10. B 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了大象在迁徙过程中遇到很多困难,威胁其生存,多方合作利用GPS追踪规划保护通道,并携手当地社区,共同保护大象迁徙路线以助其生存。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Females live in groups with their children, and quickly run out of the food supply. They hit the road in search of food. Male elephants live alone, so they don’t use resources as quickly as the females. Instead, they migrate during their mating cycle.(雌性大象与其幼仔群体生活,它们的食物资源会迅速耗尽。因此,当食物短缺时,它们便会踏上寻找食物的旅程。雄性大象则独自生活,它们不像雌性那样快速消耗资源。相反,雄性大象会在繁殖周期时进行迁徙)”可知,大象迁徙的原因各不相同。故选C项。
【9题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“During migration, elephants face short water supplies and extremely high temperatures. But people are their number-one problem. Poachers kill 35,000 elephants each year for ivory. Many African farmers build fences to protect crops and cattle, which might block regular migration paths. Traffic roads affect elephant migration, too. During one study of 28 elephants in Central Africa, only one female crossed an unprotected road.(在迁徙过程中,大象面临着缺水和极高的温度。但人是他们的首要问题。偷猎者每年杀死35000头大象来获取象牙。许多非洲农民修建围栏以保护农作物和牲畜,这可能会阻碍正常的迁徙路线。交通道路也会影响大象的迁徙。在一项对中非28头大象的研究中,只有一头雌性大象穿过了一条没有保护的道路)”可知,这一段主要是关于大象迁徙过程中遇到的困难。故选C项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段““To unlock the secret of where elephants move and how they move, we place collars with a satellite unit inside,” Dr. Michael Chase says. (Michael Chase博士说:“为了解开大象在哪里移动以及如何移动的秘密,我们在项圈里放置了带有卫星的装置”)”可知,科学家使用项圈是为了用技术追踪大象。故选B项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。结合全文及文章第一段“Elephants usually migrate between March and May.(大象通常在三月到五月之间迁徙)”和最后一段“Protecting elephant migration routes allows these gentle giants to survive.(保护大象迁徙路线使这些温和的巨人得以生存)”可知,文章主要介绍了大象在迁徙过程中遇到很多困难,威胁其生存,多方合作利用GPS追踪规划保护通道,并携手当地社区,共同保护大象迁徙路线以助其生存,故C项“为迁徙做好准备”适合作为文章的标题。故选C项。
D
Imagine a school where students are taught by the best teachers in every subject, regardless of location. Imagine a school where students could go on safe field trips to the Amazon rainforest or Everest base camp. Well, such schools are already being built: in virtual(虚拟的)reality.
Last year, Optima Academy Online, an all-virtual school, delivered courses that aim to improve the hearts and train the minds of young people. These courses are of different levels, attracting 170 full-time students from all over Florida. In the progress of home-schooling, students use headsets for about three hours a day for formal lessons and then do course work independently with digital check-ins.
Future versions(版本)of VR will doubtless be widely used in education, but the only questions are: for what purpose and at what speed? There are enough reasons to doubt whether VR schools represent the future of education. Sticking a child in their bedroom with a heavy VR headset fastened to their face and no physical social interaction with other kids will fill many of them and their parents with horror.
A recent report concluded that digital education could significantly improve the quality and equality of schooling systems. But if managed poorly, it could have the opposite effect, turning a digital divide into an educational one. There is growing evidence to suggest that is happening. In Mexico, only 24 percent of 15-year-old students in poor schools have access(使用)to a home computer for schoolwork compared with 87 percent in rich ones.
Used properly, technology can be great for enabling self-motivated students to access learning resources and connect with fellow students and teachers all over the world, says Beeban Kidron, a member of the UK’s Digital Futures Commission. The trouble is that Edtech is too often seen as a shiny new toy that will solve all problems and save money rather than being viewed as a different way to learn, she adds.
12. What can we learn about Optima Academy Online?
A. It has been widely accepted.
B. It holds faraway outdoor field trips.
C. It provides various online courses.
D. It requires parents to help with check-ins.
13. What does paragraph 3 focus on about VR in education?
A. The development. B. The concerns.
C. The advantages. D. The popularity.
14. Students in Mexico are mentioned to show________.
A. Mexican schooling quality has been improved
B. local schooling systems are not fully developed
C. technology access gaps may cause education inequality
D. family backgrounds shape people’s views on education
15. What does Beeban Kidron think of digital education?
A. It enriches learning. B. It’s irreplaceable.
C. It needs improving. D. It’s undervalued.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍虚拟现实在教学中的应用。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第二段“Last year, Optima Academy Online, an all-virtual school, delivered courses that aim to improve the hearts and train the minds of young people. These courses are of different levels, attracting 170 full-time students from all over Florida. (去年,Optima Academy Online,一所全虚拟的学校,提供了旨在改善年轻人心灵和训练他们心智的课程。这些课程层次不同,吸引了来自佛罗里达州各地的170名全日制学生。)”可知,Optima Academy Online提供各种层次不同的在线课程。故选C项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第三段“Future versions(版本)of VR will doubtless be widely used in education, but the only questions are: for what purpose and at what speed? There are enough reasons to doubt whether VR schools represent the future of education. Sticking a child in their bedroom with a heavy VR headset fastened to their face and no physical social interaction with other kids will fill many of them and their parents with horror.(毫无疑问,未来版本的VR将在教育中广泛使用,但唯一的问题是:出于什么目的,以什么速度?有足够的理由怀疑虚拟现实学校是否代表了教育的未来。把一个孩子戴在脸上的重型VR耳机粘在卧室里,不与其他孩子进行身体社交,这会让他们中的许多人和父母感到恐惧。)”可知,本段主要就虚拟现实在教学中的应用可能存在的问题表示担忧。故选B项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第四段“But if managed poorly, it could have the opposite effect, turning a digital divide into an educational one. There is growing evidence to suggest that is happening. In Mexico, only 24 percent of 15-year-old students in poor schools have access(使用)to a home computer for schoolwork compared with 87 percent in rich ones.(但如果管理不善,可能会产生相反的效果,将数字鸿沟变成教育鸿沟。越来越多的证据表明这种情况正在发生。在墨西哥,贫困学校中只有24%的15岁学生能够使用家用电脑完成学业,而富裕学校中这一比例为87%。)”可知,墨西哥学生被提及是为了表明技术获取差距可能导致教育不平等。故选C项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。由文章最后一段“Used properly, technology can be great for enabling self-motivated students to access learning resources and connect with fellow students and teachers all over the world, says Beeban Kidron, a member of the UK’s Digital Futures Commission. (英国数字未来委员会成员Beeban Kidron表示,如果使用得当,技术可以很好地让有上进心的学生获得学习资源,并与世界各地的同学和老师建立联系。)”可知,Beeban Kidron认为数字教育丰富学习,使教育多元化。故选A项。

【16题详解】
由下文“If yes, it might be a sign that you’re addicted to your fitness tracker. (如果是,这可能表明你对健身追踪器上瘾了)”可判断,空处为一般疑问句,且和对健身追踪器上瘾相关可知,D选项“然而,你是否发现自己过于频繁地检查步伐和心率?”切合语境,选项与下文内容一致,且为一般疑问句,与下文“yes”形成一致。故选D项。

由下文“If you keep setting unrealistic daily goals that involve working out for too long, and if you begin to ignore friends and responsibilities to make time for your workout, then you’re most probably addicted to your fitness tracker. (如果你一直设定不切实际的日常目标,包括锻炼太久,如果你开始忽略朋友和责任来腾出时间锻炼,那么你很可能对健身追踪器上瘾了)”可知,下文举例说明如何判断自己对健身追踪器上瘾,由此推知空处提问“如何判断自己对健身追踪器上瘾”。A选项“你如何判断自己是否对健身追踪器上瘾?”切合语境,选项与下文内容一致,为本段主要内容。故选A项。
【18题详解】
由下文“For example, the number in your smart watch showing how far you’ve come can give you a sense of achievement. (例如,智能手表上显示你已经走了多远的数字可以给你一种成就感)”可知,下文指的是用智能手表查看走了多远的步数会给你成就感,由此可推断,空处和查看每天走多少步相关,E选项“毕竟,达到每天的步数是很有吸引力的。”切合语境。故选E项。
【19题详解】
由上文“You might focus on your shortcoming rather than your progress. Another problem is that you might find yourself paying too much attention to the step number rather than how your body feels. (你可能会关注自己的缺点而不是进步。另一个问题是,你可能会发现自己过于关注步数,而不是身体的感觉)”可知,上文讲述的是关注步数带来的缺点或问题,B选项“事实上,这种对计算步数的上瘾在精神上和身体上都是有风险的。”切合语境,选项是上文内容的总结,指的是对步数的上瘾从精神到身体都是有害的。故选B项。
【20题详解】
由下文“For example, concentrating on your hobbies or socializing with friends can be a great way to keep your mind on other things. (例如,专注于你的爱好或与朋友社交是让你专注于其他事情的好方法)”可知,下文建议我们做一些与健身追踪器无关的事情,F选项“此外,你可以找其他事情做,而不需要检查你的健身追踪器。”切合语境,选项引出下文举出“人们做一些与检查健身追踪器无关的事情”的例子。故选F项。

Teenagers who talk on the cell phone a lot and hold their phones up to their right ears, score worse on one type of memory test. That’s the finding of a new study. That memory impairment might be one side effect of the radiation (放射线) that phones use to keep us connected while we’re on the go.
The teens took memory tests twice, one year apart. Nearly 700 Swiss teens took part in a test of figural memory. This type helps us remember abstract (抽象的) symbols and shapes, explains Milena Foerster. Each time, they had one minute to remember 13 pairs of abstract shapes. Then they were shown one item from each pair and asked to match it with one of the five choices. The study volunteers also took a test of verbal memory. That’s the ability to remember words. The two memory tests are part of an intelligence test.
The researchers also surveyed the teens on how they use cell phones. And they got call records from phone companies. The researchers used those records to figure out how long the teens were using their phones.
This allowed the researchers to work out how big radiation exposure (接触) each person could have got while talking.
A phone user’s exposure to the radiation can differ widely. Some teens talk on their phones more than others. People also hold their phones differently. If the phone is close to the ear, more radiation may enter the body, Foerster notes.
The teens’ scores in the figural memory tests were roughly the same from one year to the next. But those who normally held their phones near the right ears, and who were also exposed to higher levels of radiation, scored a little bit worse after a year. No group of teens showed big changes on the verbal memory test. Why might one type of memory be linked to cell phone use, but not another? Foerster thinks it could have to do with where different memory centers sit in the brain. The site that deals with the ability to remember shapes is near the right ear.
4. The underlined word “impairment” in Paragraph 1 most probably mean “_______ ”.
A. result B. damage C. mistake D. improvement

D. The teens’ ability of remembering words is shown in figural memory test.

An adult African elephant consumes about 223 liters of water and 3,080 pounds of roots, grass and fruit daily. That’s like having 634 cans of soda and 1,200 hamburgers every day. This keeps them moving thousands of miles across Africa each year. Elephants usually migrate between March and May. Females live in groups with their children, and quickly run out of the food supply. They hit the road in search of food. Male elephants live alone, so they don’t use resources as quickly as the females. Instead, they migrate during their mating cycle. When the females pack their trunks, so do the males.
During migration, elephants face short water supplies and extremely high temperatures. But people are their number-one problem. Poachers (偷猎者) kill 35,000 elephants each year for ivory. Many African farmers build fences (栅栏) to protect crops and cattle, which might block regular migration paths. Traffic roads affect elephant migration, too. During one study of 28 elephants in Central Africa, only one female crossed an unprotected road.
Scientists, wildlife organizations and governments cooperate to find solutions for Africa’s elephants. “To unlock the secret of where elephants move and how they move, we place collars (项圈) with a satellite unit inside,” Dr. Michael Chase says. GPS collars help map which routes elephants use most so that countries can establish protected elephant passages.
Locals come in as well. James Isiche, East Africa Director of the International Fund for Animal Welfare says, “We have got the community on our side by a project; they’ve agreed to partner with us to conserve elephants.” The local community run wildlife parks to attract tourists. “This project helps us take care of both the wildlife and our cows,” says Sikira, a tribal elder in Maasai, Kenya. Protecting elephant migration routes allows these gentle giants to survive.
8. What can we learn about the elephants from paragraph 1?
A. They show an interest in hamburgers.
B. They move south to survive the cold.
C. They migrate for different reasons.
D. Females live shorter for food shortage.
9. What is paragraph 2 of the text mainly about?
A. Results of poaching. B. Reasons for killing elephants.
C. Difficulties in migrating. D. Efforts to protect migration paths.
10. Why are collars applied by scientists?
A. To discover the secret of migration.
B. To track elephants with technology.
C. To identify the population of elephants.
D. To explore a new route for migration.
11. What is the best title for the text?
A. Say No to Ivory B. A Journey in Africa
C. Ready for the Move D. Technology in Migration

Imagine a school where students are taught by the best teachers in every subject, regardless of location. Imagine a school where students could go on safe field trips to the Amazon rainforest or Everest base camp. Well, such schools are already being built: in virtual(虚拟的)reality.
Last year, Optima Academy Online, an all-virtual school, delivered courses that aim to improve the hearts and train the minds of young people. These courses are of different levels, attracting 170 full-time students from all over Florida. In the progress of home-schooling, students use headsets for about three hours a day for formal lessons and then do course work independently with digital check-ins.
Future versions(版本)of VR will doubtless be widely used in education, but the only questions are: for what purpose and at what speed? There are enough reasons to doubt whether VR schools represent the future of education. Sticking a child in their bedroom with a heavy VR headset fastened to their face and no physical social interaction with other kids will fill many of them and their parents with horror.
A recent report concluded that digital education could significantly improve the quality and equality of schooling systems. But if managed poorly, it could have the opposite effect, turning a digital divide into an educational one. There is growing evidence to suggest that is happening. In Mexico, only 24 percent of 15-year-old students in poor schools have access(使用)to a home computer for schoolwork compared with 87 percent in rich ones.
Used properly, technology can be great for enabling self-motivated students to access learning resources and connect with fellow students and teachers all over the world, says Beeban Kidron, a member of the UK’s Digital Futures Commission. The trouble is that Edtech is too often seen as a shiny new toy that will solve all problems and save money rather than being viewed as a different way to learn, she adds.
12. What can we learn about Optima Academy Online?
A. It has been widely accepted.
B. It holds faraway outdoor field trips.
C. It provides various online courses.
D. It requires parents to help with check-ins.
13. What does paragraph 3 focus on about VR in education?
A. The development. B. The concerns.
C. The advantages. D. The popularity.
14. Students in Mexico are mentioned to show________.
A Mexican schooling quality has been improved
B. local schooling systems are not fully developed
C. technology access gaps may cause education inequality
D. family backgrounds shape people’s views on education
15. What does Beeban Kidron think of digital education?
A It enriches learning. B. It’s irreplaceable.
C. It needs improving. D. It’s undervalued.
