B We’ve all heard the stories of an actor’s struggles before a career breakthrough: living a hard life, working part time, being a couch potato before getting that major role. Shelby, the star of “A Dog’s Way Home,” has a hard-luck tale that could top them all. Before her big break, she was living in a landfill, rooting through garbage for her next meal. Shelby’s big break came in April 2017, when animal-control officer Megan Buhler was driving in Cheatham County. Tennessee. Out on an unrelated call, Buhler spotted and approached what she recalled was a noticeably scared puppy emerging from the dump. “I knelt down and just said, ‘Oh, come here, baby,’” said Buhler. “She was so scared, but she came right up to me, and I was able to put her in my truck.” The pair headed to the county animal shelter, where the staff began calling the new resident Baby Girl. Buhler and others didn’t know that 3,200 kilometers away, Hollywood was looking for a dog to play Bella in a film written by Cathryn Michon. The find-a-Bella job went to freelance trainer Teresa Ann Miler. Her mission was to search shelters nationwide for a dog that could play Bella. One day, Miller spotted Baby Girl’s adoption photo. “Honestly, it was a really good picture, and she was flat-out smiling,” Miller said. Then she met Baby Girl, and assessed her on personality and the ability to respond to simple commands. After assessment, she adopted Baby Girl from the shelter, renamed her Shelby and took her to California for training. Miller and Shelby trained for just over three months before filming began. Then they were together each day on the set. Most of the film’s reviews have praised Shelby’s performance. Variety made the comments “an amazing dog, perfect performance!” Shelby has come a long way from the dump. But Buhler said she saw Shelby recently had needed only a second to compare the movie star with the dog she found from piles of trash. “She’s exactly the same,” Buhler said. 4. Why does the author mention an actor’s struggle before a career breakthrough at the very beginning? A. To make a sharp contrast between an actor’s struggle and a dog’s struggle. B. To introduce a dog’s similar but even more striking experiences. C. To attract reader’s attention by giving dramatic examples. D. To clearly point out the main idea of the passage. 5. What finally helped Baby Girl get the big role in the film? A. Her adoption picture. B. Her flat-out smiling. C. her personality and ability. D. Her miserable experiences. 6. By saying “She is exactly the same” in the last paragraph, Buhler probably means _______. A. the dog returned to the piles of trash where she found it B. it took quite a lot of trouble for the dog to change her own fate. C. she’s really excited to see the dog she helped live such a happy life D. the dramatic change of the dog’s life hasn’t changed her inner quality 7. What do you think may serve as the best title of the passage? A. The Success of “A Dog’s Way Home” B. From a Landfill Puppy to a Movie Star C. The Trainer and Her Star Dog D. Shelby’s Hard-luck Story C One of the improv (即兴表演) classes I attended regularly was taught by Jim Cranna every Saturday afternoon. Sometimes, as many as twenty-five to sixty-plus folks showed up. Jim made sure to fit everyone in so they could improve their skills. The class lasted for three hours. The usual cast of comic actors played improv comedy games. And we would go to the nearest mini market located in the building and get a snack or coffee during breaks. One day, three of us were standing outside the building, when Robin William — an internationally famous actor and comic walked by, enjoying the fresh bay air. Completely frozen, my fellow comics couldn’t summon up the courage to just say “hi” to Robin, who was with a friend. I froze for a moment, but then I composed myself. I told them, “Hey, if you guys can’t handle it, then I will ask him to come and join us for the second half of class.” I could hear them mumble under their breath, “Yeah, sure, right. You’re going to ask Robin Williams to come to our comedy class. Good luck with that one!” So I went up to Robin and his friend and asked him to join us. “We’re having an improve comedy class. We’re on break now, but we would be most humbled and honored if you would join us for the second half of the class.” Robin looked directly in my eyes and said with little hesitation, “Okay.” It was like a grown-up child being asked to come and play. With that, he and his friend followed me up to the class. When he saw Robin, Jim said, “Oh my goodness, look who Micheline is bringing to class.” Jim’s eyes were all in astonishment and delight. “Why, it’s Robin Williams!” “Robin and his friend stayed the rest of the class and at the end of the class, Robin and Jim performed a skit (滑稽短剧). We actually watched him shape-shift as he prepared physically and mentally for his made-up character. He gave it his all. It was truly magical.” What a delight for all of us that Saturday afternoon! All I know is that if I hadn’t gathered up the courage to ask Robin to join us, none of us would have had that experience. 8. What does the underlined word “compose” mean in paragraph 2? A. Look down. B. Calm down. C. Make up. D. Pick up. 9. What did the author want to show by telling the experience? A. It’s never too late to mend. B. He who laughs last laughs best. C. A brave attempt is half success. D. Actions speak louder than words. 10. What can be inferred from the text? A. It was the author’s patience that moved Robin Williams. B.

Micheline’s friends didn’t have the bravery to invite Robin Williams. 11. What kind of person was Robin Williams most likely to be? A. Well-known but approachable. B. Popular but humble. C. Respected but casual. D. Strict but generous. D A study led by a researcher from the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Nanjing Institute of Geology and Paleontology has updated the fossil (化石) record of mosquitoes (蚊子) by nearly 30 million years and has discovered that ancient male mosquitoes also fed on blood. The study was published online on Monday in the journal Current Biology, which discovered the oldest-known mosquito fossils --- two males dating back 130 million years near the town of Hammana in Lebanon. Dany Azar, who led the study, said the fossils not only told us the ancient origins of mosquitoes but also their feeding habits during the early stages of their growth. “We find that the mosquito group is developing, which gives us an idea about their behavior of feeding on blood” said Azar, who has been working on the subject for more than 25 years. Before the recent findings and their study, only female mosquitoes were known to feed on blood, which they need for protein to produce their eggs. Males, which lack skin-piercing (刺入皮肤的) mouthparts, mostly feed on honey and plant juices. “The feeding habits of insects, such as feeding on blood, are believed to have developed from their piercing mouthparts. However, studying the development of this behavior has been challenging due to the lack of insect fossil records.” Azar said. While reexamining the mosquito fossils last year, Azar found that their unique piercing mouthparts, very similar to those of female mosquitoes today, had been kept well. Their sharp mandibles (下颌骨) gradually disappeared over the centuries. Based on the findings, the researchers agreed that male mosquitoes fed on blood 130 million years ago. Azar, who is now a professor at the Nanjing institute, said he hopes that joint scientific explorations can be widely carried out in the future to promote more discoveries. 12. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A Female mosquitoes feed on blood for protein to produce eggs. B. A minority of male mosquitoes feed on honey and plant juices. C. Two female mosquito fossils were found near the town of Hammana. D. Male mosquitoes have the same feeding habits as female mosquitoes. 13. According to Azar, why is the study on the development of feeding on blood challenging? A. Because his team lacks money. B. Because there is no talent studying it. C. Because his team wants to study another subject. D. Because his team is short of insect fossil records. 14. What conclusion can we draw from mosquito fossils? A. Female mosquitoes fed on blood 130 million years ago. B. Male mosquitoes’ sharp mouthparts gradually disappeared. C. The mouthparts of the female mosquitoes have been kept well. D. Male mosquitoes once shared similar mouthparts with female today. 15. What’s the article mainly about? A. The mosquito group is developing. B. Ancient male mosquitoes probably fed on blood. C. The oldest-known mosquito fossils were discovered. D. Female and male mosquitoes share similar feeding habits now. E Up and down the economic ladder, many Americans who work—and especially those raising kids—are pressed for time, wishing they had more of it to devote to leisure activities (or even just sleeping). At the same time, research has indicated that people who are busy tend to be happier than those who are idle, whether their busyness is purposeful or not. A research paper released late last year investigated this trade-off, attempting to pinpoint (精确指出) how much leisure time is best. Its authors examined the relationship between the amount of “discretionary time” people had—basically, how much time people spend awake and doing what they want—and how pleased they were with their lives. The paper, which analyzed data covering about 35,000 Americans, found that employed people’s ratings of their satisfaction with life peaked when they had in the neighborhood of two and a half hours of free time a day. For people who didn’t work, the optimal (最佳) amount was four hours and 45 minutes. The research traced a correlation (关联) between free time and life satisfaction, but didn’t provide any definitive (最后的) insight into what underlies that correlation—“which is exciting, because this is a work in progress,” says Cassie Mogilner Holmes, a professor at UCLA’s Anderson School of Management and a co-author of the paper, which hasn’t yet been peer-reviewed or published in an academic journal. An experiment that the researchers arranged hinted at (暗示) a possible explanation of the correlation they found. They asked participants to picture and describe what it would be like to have a certain amount of daily free time, and then report how they’d feel about that allotment (分配). “What we find is that having too little time makes people feel stressed, and maybe that’s obvious,” says Holmes. “But interestingly, that effect goes away—the role of stress goes away—once you approach the optimal point.” After that point, Holmes says, the subjects started to say they felt less productive overall, which could explain why having a lot of free time can feel like having too much free time. It’s not clear what an individual is to do with these findings, since the amount of free time people have usually has something to do with a variety of factors, such as having children or a degree of control over work schedules. Holmes shared her research with the MBA students in her class on happiness, and some of the most time-crunched among them were comforted by the findings: “I think that two and a half hours creates a nice goal that even if you increase a little bit more of your discretionary time use, you can expect that it will translate into greater life satisfaction.” 16. According to the passage, what happens to Americans occupied with their work? A They allow themselves more leisure time. B. They keep themselves busy on purpose. C. They know how much leisure time is best. D. They experience higher level of satisfaction. 17. What can be learned about the correlation between free time and life satisfaction? A. Researchers have cast light on the cause of the correlation. B. Unemployed people need more leisure time to feel content. C. The paper on the correlation has achieved peer recognition. D. Employed people enjoy more leisure time in the neighborhood. 18. Which of the following charts illustrates the change of stress and productivity? A. B. C. D. 19. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that _______. A. Holmes is optimistic about the influence of her findings B individuals are encouraged to control their work schedules C. people with tight schedules can’t benefit from the findings D. the MBA students find no free time to obtain life satisfaction 第二节 七选五（共5小题；每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5分） When I started my career, I observed people in leadership roles and thought, “They’re so lucky.

Shelby, the star of “A Dog’s Way Home,” has a hard-luck tale that could top them all. Before her big break, she was living in a landfill, rooting through garbage for her next meal. Shelby’s big break came in April 2017, when animal-control officer Megan Buhler was driving in Cheatham County. Tennessee. Out on an unrelated call, Buhler spotted and approached what she recalled was a noticeably scared puppy emerging from the dump. “I knelt down and just said, ‘Oh, come here, baby,’” said Buhler. “She was so scared, but she came right up to me, and I was able to put her in my truck.” The pair headed to the county animal shelter, where the staff began calling the new resident Baby Girl. Buhler and others didn’t know that 3,200 kilometers away, Hollywood was looking for a dog to play Bella in a film written by Cathryn Michon. The find-a-Bella job went to freelance trainer Teresa Ann Miler. Her mission was to search shelters nationwide for a dog that could play Bella. One day, Miller spotted Baby Girl’s adoption photo. “Honestly, it was a really good picture, and she was flat-out smiling,” Miller said. Then she met Baby Girl, and assessed her on personality and the ability to respond to simple commands. After assessment, she adopted Baby Girl from the shelter, renamed her Shelby and took her to California for training. Miller and Shelby trained for just over three months before filming began. Then they were together each day on the set. Most of the film’s reviews have praised Shelby’s performance. Variety made the comments “an amazing dog, perfect performance!” Shelby has come a long way from the dump. But Buhler said she saw Shelby recently had needed only a second to compare the movie star with the dog she found from piles of trash. “She’s exactly the same,” Buhler said. 4. Why does the author mention an actor’s struggle before a career breakthrough at the very beginning? A. To make a sharp contrast between an actor’s struggle and a dog’s struggle. B. To introduce a dog’s similar but even more striking experiences. C. To attract reader’s attention by giving dramatic examples. D. To clearly point out the main idea of the passage. 5. What finally helped Baby Girl get the big role in the film? A. Her adoption picture. B. Her flat-out smiling. C. her personality and ability. D. Her miserable experiences. 6. By saying “She is exactly the same” in the last paragraph, Buhler probably means _______. A. the dog returned to the piles of trash where she found it B. it took quite a lot of trouble for the dog to change her own fate. C. she’s really excited to see the dog she helped live such a happy life D. the dramatic change of the dog’s life hasn’t changed her inner quality 7. What do you think may serve as the best title of the passage? A. The Success of “A Dog’s Way Home” B. From a Landfill Puppy to a Movie Star C. The Trainer and Her Star Dog D. Shelby’s Hard-luck Story 【答案】4. B 5. C 6. D 7. B 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一只垃圾小狗到成为一名电影明星的引人注目的经历。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段We’ve all heard the stories of an actor’s struggles before a career breakthrough: living a hard life, working part time, being a couch potato before getting that major role. Shelby, the star of “A Dog’s Way Home,” has a hard-luck tale that could top them all. Before her big break, she was living in a landfill, rooting through garbage for her next meal. 我们都听过演员在事业上取得突破之前的挣扎故事：过着艰苦的生活，兼职工作，在得到那个主要角色之前成为一个电视迷。《一条狗的回家之路》中的明星谢尔比有一个倒霉的故事，可能会超过所有人。在她的重大突破之前，她住在垃圾堆里，翻着垃圾寻找下一顿饭。由此可知，作者在一开始就提到了一个演员在事业取得突破之前的挣扎，并介绍了一只狗的类似但更引人注目的经历。故选B。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中One day, Miller spotted Baby Girl’s adoption photo. “Honestly, it was a really good picture, and she was flat-out smiling,” Miller said. Then she met Baby Girl, and assessed her on personality and the ability to respond to simple commands.一天，米勒发现了Baby Girl的收养照片。米勒说：“说实话，这张照片拍得很好，她笑得很灿烂。”然后她遇到了Baby Girl，并对她的性格和对简单命令的反应能力进行了评估。由此可知，她的性格和能力最终帮助Baby Girl在电影中获得了重要角色。故选C。 【6题详解】 词义猜测题。根据倒数第二段中Most of the film’s reviews have praised Shelby’s performance. Variety made the comments “an amazing dog, perfect performance!”大多数影评都赞扬了谢尔比的表演。Variety评论道：“一只神奇的狗，完美的表演！”和最后一段Shelby has come a long way from the dump. But Buhler said she saw Shelby recently had needed only a second to compare the movie star with the dog she found from piles of trash. “She’s exactly the same,”谢尔比从垃圾场一路走来。但布勒说，她最近看到谢尔比只用了一秒钟就把这位电影明星和她在垃圾堆里找到的那条狗做了比较。“她完全一样”。由此可知，通过在最后一段中说“她完全一样”，布勒可能是指狗狗生活的巨大变化并没有改变她的内在品质。故选D。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。文章介绍了一只垃圾小狗到成为一名电影明星的引人注目的经历。所以B项From a Landfill Puppy to a Movie Star.(从垃圾小狗到电影明星)为最佳标题。故选B。 C One of the improv (即兴表演) classes I attended regularly was taught by Jim Cranna every Saturday afternoon. Sometimes, as many as twenty-five to sixty-plus folks showed up. Jim made sure to fit everyone in so they could improve their skills. The class lasted for three hours. The usual cast of comic actors played improv comedy games. And we would go to the nearest mini market located in the building and get a snack or coffee during breaks. One day, three of us were standing outside the building, when Robin William — an internationally famous actor and comic walked by, enjoying the fresh bay air. Completely frozen, my fellow comics couldn’t summon up the courage to just say “hi” to Robin, who was with a friend. I froze for a moment, but then I composed myself. I told them, “Hey, if you guys can’t handle it, then I will ask him to come and join us for the second half of class.” I could hear them mumble under their breath, “Yeah, sure, right. You’re going to ask Robin Williams to come to our comedy class. Good luck with that one!” So I went up to Robin and his friend and asked him to join us. “We’re having an improve comedy class. We’re on break now, but we would be most humbled and honored if you would join us for the second half of the class.” Robin looked directly in my eyes and said with little hesitation, “Okay.” It was like a grown-up child being asked to come and play. With that, he and his friend followed me up to the class. When he saw Robin, Jim said, “Oh my goodness, look who Micheline is bringing to class.” Jim’s eyes were all in astonishment and delight. “Why, it’s Robin Williams!” “Robin and his friend stayed the rest of the class and at the end of the class, Robin and Jim performed a skit (滑稽短剧). We actually watched him shape-shift as he prepared physically and mentally for his made-up character. He gave it his all. It was truly magical.” What a delight for all of us that Saturday afternoon! All I know is that if I hadn’t gathered up the courage to ask Robin to join us, none of us would have had that experience. 8. What does the underlined word “compose” mean in paragraph 2? A. Look down. B. Calm down. C. Make up. D. Pick up. 9. What did the author want to show by telling the experience? A. It’s never too late to mend. B. He who laughs last laughs best. C. A brave attempt is half success. D. Actions speak louder than words. 10. What can be inferred from the text? A. It was the author’s patience that moved Robin Williams. B. Jim Cranna was waiting for Robin Williams to come to the class. C. Robin Williams gave a lecture on playing improv comedy games. D. Micheline’s friends didn’t have the bravery to invite Robin Williams. 11. What kind of person was Robin Williams most likely to be? A. Well-known but approachable. B. Popular but humble. C. Respected but casual. D. Strict but generous. 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了作者在一次即兴表演课的休息期间，偶遇了著名的喜剧演员，并鼓起勇气邀请他来为作者他们上喜剧课，以此告诉大家，敢于尝试就有可能成功。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线单词上一句“I froze for a moment(我愣了一会儿)”以及下一句“I told them, “Hey, if you guys can’t handle it, then I will ask him to come and join us for the second half of class.” (我告诉他们，“嘿，如果你们搞不定，那我就叫他来和我们一起上下半节课。”)” 可知，作者一开始也不太敢上前邀请罗宾·威廉斯，但是后来还是开口了，说明作者是稳定了一下情绪。由此推知，划线词compose与B项：calm down(冷静下来)的意思接近。故选B项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“I told them, “Hey, if you guys can’t handle it, then I will ask him to come and join us for the second half of class.” I could hear them mumble under their breath, “Yeah, sure, right. You’re going to ask Robin Williams to come to our comedy class. Good luck with that one!”(我对他们说:“嘿，如果你们搞不定的话，那我就请他来和我们一起上下半节课。”我能听到他们低声嘟囔着:“是啊，当然，没错。你要邀请罗宾·威廉姆斯来上我们的喜剧课。祝你好运!)”以及后文可知，作者和同学们偶遇著名喜剧演员却都不敢上前打招呼，最后作者鼓起勇气开口打招呼，并邀请这名喜剧演员为他们上戏剧课。结果该喜剧演员不仅毫不犹豫地同意了作者的请求，还给他们展示了精彩的表演。结合最后一段“What a delight for all of us that Saturday afternoon! All I know is that if I hadn’t gathered up the courage to ask Robin to join us, none of us would have had that experience.(那个星期六下午我们大家都很高兴!我只知道，如果我没有鼓起勇气邀请罗宾加入我们，我们都不会有这样的经历)”推知，文章想告诉我们的是敢于迈出尝试的一步，就有可能成功，即勇敢的尝试是成功的一半，C. A brave attempt is half success(勇敢的尝试是成功的一半)符合题意。故选C项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Completely frozen, my fellow comics couldn’t summon up the courage to just say “hi” to Robin, who was with a friend.(我的喜剧演员同伴们完全愣住了，没能鼓起勇气向罗宾打招呼，罗宾身边还有一个朋友)”和第三段的“I told them, “Hey, if you guys can’t handle it, then I will ask him to come and join us for the second half of class.” (我告诉他们，“嘿，如果你们搞不定，那我就叫他来和我们一起上下半节课。”)”可知，作者的同伴见到著名喜剧演员罗宾·威廉斯时全都愣住了，甚至不敢上前和他打招呼，更不敢鼓起勇气邀请罗宾。故选D项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。文章第二段“One day, three of us were standing outside the building, when Robin William — an internationally famous actor and comic walked by, enjoying the fresh bay air.(有一天，我们三个人站在大楼外面，国际著名演员兼喜剧演员罗宾·威廉斯走过，享受着海湾的新鲜空气)”提到，罗宾·威廉斯很出名；再根据第四段“Robin looked directly in my eyes and said with little hesitation, “Okay.”(罗宾直视着我的眼睛，毫不犹豫地说：“好的”) ”可知，作者邀请罗宾·威廉斯为他们上课的时候，他毫不犹豫地答应了，由此可知，罗宾·威廉斯是个平易近人的人。故选A项。 D A study led by a researcher from the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Nanjing Institute of Geology and Paleontology has updated the fossil (化石) record of mosquitoes (蚊子) by nearly 30 million years and has discovered that ancient male mosquitoes also fed on blood. The study was published online on Monday in the journal Current Biology, which discovered the oldest-known mosquito fossils --- two males dating back 130 million years near the town of Hammana in Lebanon. Dany Azar, who led the study, said the fossils not only told us the ancient origins of mosquitoes but also their feeding habits during the early stages of their growth. “We find that the mosquito group is developing, which gives us an idea about their behavior of feeding on blood” said Azar, who has been working on the subject for more than 25 years. Before the recent findings and their study, only female mosquitoes were known to feed on blood, which they need for protein to produce their eggs. Males, which lack skin-piercing (刺入皮肤的) mouthparts, mostly feed on honey and plant juices. “The feeding habits of insects, such as feeding on blood, are believed to have developed from their piercing mouthparts. However, studying the development of this behavior has been challenging due to the lack of insect fossil records.” Azar said. While reexamining the mosquito fossils last year, Azar found that their unique piercing mouthparts, very similar to those of female mosquitoes today, had been kept well. Their sharp mandibles (下颌骨) gradually disappeared over the centuries. Based on the findings, the researchers agreed that male mosquitoes fed on blood 130 million years ago. Azar, who is now a professor at the Nanjing institute, said he hopes that joint scientific explorations can be widely carried out in the future to promote more discoveries. 12. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A. Female mosquitoes feed on blood for protein to produce eggs. B. A minority of male mosquitoes feed on honey and plant juices. C. Two female mosquito fossils were found near the town of Hammana. D. Male mosquitoes have the same feeding habits as female mosquitoes. 13. According to Azar, why is the study on the development of feeding on blood challenging? A. Because his team lacks money. B. Because there is no talent studying it. C. Because his team wants to study another subject. D. Because his team is short of insect fossil records. 14. What conclusion can we draw from mosquito fossils? A. Female mosquitoes fed on blood 130 million years ago. B. Male mosquitoes’ sharp mouthparts gradually disappeared. C. The mouthparts of the female mosquitoes have been kept well. D. Male mosquitoes once shared similar mouthparts with female today. 15. What’s the article mainly about? A. The mosquito group is developing. B. Ancient male mosquitoes probably fed on blood. C. The oldest-known mosquito fossils were discovered. D. Female and male mosquitoes share similar feeding habits now. 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道，主要讲的是中国科学院南京地质古生物研究所的一名研究人员领导的一项研究将蚊子的化石记录更新了近3000万年，并发现古代雄性蚊子也以血为食。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Before the recent findings and their study, only female mosquitoes were known to feed on blood, which they need for protein to produce their eggs.(在最近的发现和他们的研究之前，人们只知道雌性蚊子以血液为食，它们需要血液提供蛋白质来产卵。)”可知，雌蚊以血液为食以获取蛋白质产卵。故选A。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第三段“However, studying the development of this behavior has been challenging due to the lack of insect fossil records.(然而，由于缺乏昆虫化石记录，研究这种行为的发展一直具有挑战性。)”可知，研究以血液为食的发展具有挑战性是因为他的团队缺少昆虫化石记录。故选D。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“While reexamining the mosquito fossils last year, Azar found that their unique piercing mouthparts, very similar to those of female mosquitoes today, had been kept well.(在去年重新检查蚊子化石时，Azar发现它们独特的穿孔口器被保存得很好，与今天的雌蚊子非常相似。)”可知，从蚊子化石中我们可以得出的结论是雄蚊曾经和雌蚊用类似的口器。故选D。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“A study led by a researcher from the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Nanjing Institute of Geology and Paleontology has updated the fossil (化石) record of mosquitoes (蚊子) by nearly 30 million years and has discovered that ancient male mosquitoes also fed on blood.(中国科学院南京地质古生物研究所的一名研究人员领导的一项研究将蚊子的化石记录更新了近3000万年，并发现古代雄性蚊子也以血为食。)”可知，本文主要讲的是中国科学院南京地质古生物研究所发现古代雄性蚊子也以血为食，因此主旨是B选项“Ancient male mosquitoes probably fed on blood.(古代的雄蚊可能以血为食。)”。故选B。 E Up and down the economic ladder, many Americans who work—and especially those raising kids—are pressed for time, wishing they had more of it to devote to leisure activities (or even just sleeping). At the same time, research has indicated that people who are busy tend to be happier than those who are idle, whether their busyness is purposeful or not. A research paper released late last year investigated this trade-off, attempting to pinpoint (精确指出) how much leisure time is best. Its authors examined the relationship between the amount of “discretionary time” people had—basically, how much time people spend awake and doing what they want—and how pleased they were with their lives. The paper, which analyzed data covering about 35,000 Americans, found that employed people’s ratings of their satisfaction with life peaked when they had in the neighborhood of two and a half hours of free time a day. For people who didn’t work, the optimal (最佳) amount was four hours and 45 minutes. The research traced a correlation (关联) between free time and life satisfaction, but didn’t provide any definitive (最后的) insight into what underlies that correlation—“which is exciting, because this is a work in progress,” says Cassie Mogilner Holmes, a professor at UCLA’s Anderson School of Management and a co-author of the paper, which hasn’t yet been peer-reviewed or published in an academic journal. An experiment that the researchers arranged hinted at (暗示) a possible explanation of the correlation they found. They asked participants to picture and describe what it would be like to have a certain amount of daily free time, and then report how they’d feel about that allotment (分配). “What we find is that having too little time makes people feel stressed, and maybe that’s obvious,” says Holmes. “But interestingly, that effect goes away—the role of stress goes away—once you approach the optimal point.” After that point, Holmes says, the subjects started to say they felt less productive overall, which could explain why having a lot of free time can feel like having too much free time. It’s not clear what an individual is to do with these findings, since the amount of free time people have usually has something to do with a variety of factors, such as having children or a degree of control over work schedules. Holmes shared her research with the MBA students in her class on happiness, and some of the most time-crunched among them were comforted by the findings: “I think that two and a half hours creates a nice goal that even if you increase a little bit more of your discretionary time use, you can expect that it will translate into greater life satisfaction.” 16. According to the passage, what happens to Americans occupied with their work? A. They allow themselves more leisure time. B. They keep themselves busy on purpose. C. They know how much leisure time is best. D. They experience higher level of satisfaction. 17. What can be learned about the correlation between free time and life satisfaction? A. Researchers have cast light on the cause of the correlation. B. Unemployed people need more leisure time to feel content. C. The paper on the correlation has achieved peer recognition. D. Employed people enjoy more leisure time in the neighborhood. 18. Which of the following charts illustrates the change of stress and productivity? A. B. C. D. 19. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that _______. A. Holmes is optimistic about the influence of her findings B. individuals are encouraged to control their work schedules C. people with tight schedules can’t benefit from the findings D. the MBA students find no free time to obtain life satisfaction 【答案】16. D 17. B 18. D 19. A 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了研究发现忙碌的人往往比闲着的人生活满意度更高，所需要的休闲时间更少，研究者对这一研究对人们的影响持积极的态度。 【16题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“research has indicated that people who are busy tend to be happier than those who are idle, whether their business is purposeful or not.”可知，研究表明, 忙碌的人往往比闲着的人更快乐，也就是说忙于工作的美国人的满意度更高，故D项正确。 【17题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“found that employed people’s ratings of their satisfaction with life peaked when they had in the neighborhood of two and a half hours of free time a day. For people who didn’t work, the optimal (最佳) amount was four hours and 45 minutes.”可知，有工作的人满意的休息时间是两个半小时，而不工作的人满意的休息时间则是4小时45分钟，也就是说不工作的人需要更多的休闲时间来感到满足，故B项正确。 【18题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中的“What we find is that having too little time makes people feel stressed,and maybe that’s obvious,” says Holmes. “But interestingly, that effect goes away—the role of stress goes away—once you approach the optimal point.” After that point, Holmes says, the subjects started to say they felt less productive overall,”可知，时间太少会有压力，一旦你达到最佳状态，压力的作用就消失了，在那之后，受试者开始说他们总体上感觉效率较低，D项与这个状态变化相吻合，故D项正确。 【19题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Holmes shared her research with the MBA students in her class on happiness, and some of the most time-crunched among them were comforted by the findings: “I think that two and a half hours creates a nice goal that even if you increase a little bit more of your discretionary time use, you can expect that it will translate into greater life satisfaction”可知，Holmes将这个研究成果分享给了她的学生，很多时间比较紧迫的学生得到了安慰，并且她说“我认为两个半小时能创造出一个很好的目标，即使你只增加一点自由支配的时间，你也可以期望它能转化为更大的生活满意度，也由此可以看出她对研究结果的影响的态度是很积极的， 故A项正确。 第二节 七选五（共5小题；每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5分） When I started my career, I observed people in leadership roles and thought, “They’re so lucky.
