To understand the effect of ice melting around the world we first have to understand what an ice sheet actually is. Covering 5.4 million square miles in Antarctica and 656,000 square miles in Greenland (our two remaining ice sheets today), an ice sheet is actually a huge land of ice from the Ice Age. These sheets, over thousands of years, form by snow changing into ice over the winter, which doesn’t entirely melt during the summer. This ice, home to different species of animals, is now melting at a rate that cannot support the life it currently holds.
Many of these creatures rely on ice sheets as land for resting, hunting and protection, yet as the size decreases, they are forced out of their homeland in search of other land on which to live. Often this means journeys to search for food and an imbalanced ecosystem arises when different species are forced together onto the coast.
Since the 1990s, the deer population has dropped by 56 per cent—climate change has caused warmer temperatures over winter setting off rainfall instead of snow, which freezes more quickly underfoot and makes it harder to walk and search for food. In the summer, frozen layers of land melts and releases trapped diseases which bring death to animals. A similar situation has fallen on the polar bears who suffered a 40 per cent population loss between 2001-2010.
Quite apart from these problems, the threat of sea levels rising if the ice caps were to disappear is approaching. If the Greenland Ice Sheet melted, the sea level would rise around six meters, and if the Antarctic Ice Sheet melted, sea levels would rise by around 20 feet. As a matter of fact, sea levels have risen about eight inches since 1880, three of which we’ve gained over the last 25 years. This seemingly small amount has already caused dangerous flooding, loss of farmland and more deadly storms.
While we’re still a long way from losing the ice sheets all together, we’ve already lost too much for many ecosystems and humans to reasonably survive under, and if we don’t take climate change seriously now, we will certainly hit the point of no return.
4. What is an ice sheet according to the passage?
A. It is an area where ice never melts in summer.
B. It is a land of ice that covers all Greenland.
C. It is a large area of ice that exists for centuries.
D. It is an ice world for animals used to cold.
5. How does the melting of ice sheets affect animals?
A. It makes it easier to travel to other land.
B It increases the population of sea animals.
C. It makes their surroundings more comfortable.
D. It causes hunger and illness among animals.
6. What can we infer from Paragraph 4?
A. Ice Sheet will soon disappear from the Earth.
B. Sea levels are rising faster in recent years.
C. Greenland will be the first to lose all its ice.
D. All natural disasters happen due to sea level rise.
7. What could be the best title for this passage?
A. Effect of Melting Ice Sheets B. Ice, Sea and Animals
C. Greenland and Antarctica D. Changes of Sea Levels
C
Many of us are lucky enough to have some degree of choice over what we eat. But are the decisions we make about our diet as free as we assume?
It appears we’re hugely influenced by other people — especially those closest to us — when it comes to what we eat. Research has found that the closer and stronger two people’s connection is, the more control they have over each other’s food choices. This means social signals generally encourage us to eat more. Being around healthy eaters may guide you to eat healthier as well, though. Eating habits are also affected by what we see. “There is proof that, if you see pictures of food, that visual stimulation can inspire your desire to eat,” says a UK scientist, Suzanne Higgs.
Social media is one place where visual and social signals meet. Evidence shows if friends in your social network post regularly about particular types of food, it could lead you to copy them, for better or for worse. And research indicates that social media might be changing our relationship with food, making us think differently about what we eat. “If all your friends on social media are posting pictures of themselves consuming fast food, it’s going to set a norm that eating fast food is what people do,” says Higgs.
Research suggests we’re more likely to be attracted by photos of fast food, especially some rich in saturated fat(饱和脂肪), which can make us feel good, says Ethan Pancer, a professor in Canada. Humans are biologically prepared to seek out high-calorie food — an ability that helped our ancestors survive when they searched for food.
“Healthier foods are often seen as boring in comparison, and processed food is considered ‘cool’,” a researcher from France, Tina Tessitore, adds that, “In advertising, you see unhealthy food in social settings --- people having a barbeque with friends, for example, while healthy food usually focuses more on the nutritional value. If you saw friends eating salad together, it wouldn’t seem so true.” All of the findings are bothering researchers about the effects of social media, whether good or bad.
8. What’s the author’s main purpose in writing the article?
A To present elements affecting eating habits.
B. To explain the reasons for advertising food.
C. To raise public awareness of physical health.
D. To conclude findings of a new research.
9. Which of the statements might Suzanne Higgs agree with?
A. Seeing photos of familiar food prevents you from eating more.
B. Social media has more influence on your dieting than close friends.
C. You may fall into the habit of fast food consumption following social media.
D. You’re sure to imitate what others make and eat if you regularly surf the Internet.
10. What can we infer from the article?
A. People are free to make a choice on what to eat.
B. Human beings are born to choose food rich in calorie.
C. The young generation prefer fast food because it’s “cool”.
D. You’ll be easily encouraged to pick out food by experts.
11. What might the author focus on in the following paragraph?
A. Researchers make market surveys testing netizens’ acceptance of salad.
B. Internet stars stand out in advertising different kinds of processed food.
C. Public opinions vary on the current issue of food safety and nutritious diet.
D. Researchers are becoming concerned about how social media affects our diet.
D
The goal of this book is to make the case for digital minimalism, including a detailed exploration of what it asks and why it works, and then to teach you how to adopt this philosophy if you decide it’s right for you.
To do so, I divided the book into two parts. In part one, I describe the philosophical foundations of digital minimalism, starting with an examination of the forces that are making so many people’s digital lives increasingly intolerable, before moving on to a detailed discussion of the digital minimalism philosophy.
Part one concludes by introducing my suggested method for adopting this philosophy: the digital declutter. This process requires you to step away from optional online activities for thirty days. At the end of the thirty days, you will then add back a small number of carefully chosen online activities that you believe will provide massive benefits to the things you value.
In the final chapter of part one, I’ll guide you through carrying out your own digital declutter. In doing so, I’ll draw on an experiment I ran in 2018 in which over 1,600 people agreed to perform a digital declutter. You’ll hear these participants’ stories and learn what strategies worked well for them, and what traps they encountered that you should avoid.
The second part of this book takes a closer look at some ideas that will help you cultivate (培养) a sustainable digital minimalism lifestyle. In these chapters, I examine issues such as the importance of solitude (独处) and the necessity of cultivating high-quality leisure to replace the time most now spent on mindless device use. Each chapter concludes with a collection of practices, which are designed to help you act on the big ideas of the chapter. You can view these practices as a toolbox meant to aid your efforts to build a minimalist lifestyle that works for your particular circumstances.
12. What is the book aimed at?
A. Teaching critical thinking skills. B. Advocating a simple digital lifestyle.
C. Solving philosophical problems. D. Promoting the use of a digital device.
13. What does the underlined word “declutter” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Clear-up. B. Add-on. C. Check-in. D. Take-over.
14. What is presented in the final chapter of part one?
A. Theoretical models. B. Statistical methods.
C. Practical examples. D. Historical analyses.
15. What does the author suggest readers do with the practices offered in part two?
A. Use them as needed. B. Recommend them to friends.
C. Evaluate their effects. D. Identify the ideas behind them.

To understand the effect of ice melting around the world we first have to understand what an ice sheet actually is. Covering 5.4 million square miles in Antarctica and 656,000 square miles in Greenland (our two remaining ice sheets today), an ice sheet is actually a huge land of ice from the Ice Age. These sheets, over thousands of years, form by snow changing into ice over the winter, which doesn’t entirely melt during the summer. This ice, home to different species of animals, is now melting at a rate that cannot support the life it currently holds.
Many of these creatures rely on ice sheets as land for resting, hunting and protection, yet as the size decreases, they are forced out of their homeland in search of other land on which to live. Often this means journeys to search for food and an imbalanced ecosystem arises when different species are forced together onto the coast.
Since the 1990s, the deer population has dropped by 56 per cent—climate change has caused warmer temperatures over winter setting off rainfall instead of snow, which freezes more quickly underfoot and makes it harder to walk and search for food. In the summer, frozen layers of land melts and releases trapped diseases which bring death to animals. A similar situation has fallen on the polar bears who suffered a 40 per cent population loss between 2001-2010.
Quite apart from these problems, the threat of sea levels rising if the ice caps were to disappear is approaching. If the Greenland Ice Sheet melted, the sea level would rise around six meters, and if the Antarctic Ice Sheet melted, sea levels would rise by around 20 feet. As a matter of fact, sea levels have risen about eight inches since 1880, three of which we’ve gained over the last 25 years. This seemingly small amount has already caused dangerous flooding, loss of farmland and more deadly storms.
While we’re still a long way from losing the ice sheets all together, we’ve already lost too much for many ecosystems and humans to reasonably survive under, and if we don’t take climate change seriously now, we will certainly hit the point of no return.
4. What is an ice sheet according to the passage?
A. It is an area where ice never melts in summer.
B. It is a land of ice that covers all Greenland.
C. It is a large area of ice that exists for centuries.
D. It is an ice world for animals used to cold.
5. How does the melting of ice sheets affect animals?

B. Sea levels are rising faster in recent years.
C. Greenland will be the first to lose all its ice.
D. All natural disasters happen due to sea level rise.
7. What could be the best title for this passage?

Many of us are lucky enough to have some degree of choice over what we eat. But are the decisions we make about our diet as free as we assume?
It appears we’re hugely influenced by other people — especially those closest to us — when it comes to what we eat. Research has found that the closer and stronger two people’s connection is, the more control they have over each other’s food choices. This means social signals generally encourage us to eat more. Being around healthy eaters may guide you to eat healthier as well, though. Eating habits are also affected by what we see. “There is proof that, if you see pictures of food, that visual stimulation can inspire your desire to eat,” says a UK scientist, Suzanne Higgs.
Social media is one place where visual and social signals meet. Evidence shows if friends in your social network post regularly about particular types of food, it could lead you to copy them, for better or for worse. And research indicates that social media might be changing our relationship with food, making us think differently about what we eat. “If all your friends on social media are posting pictures of themselves consuming fast food, it’s going to set a norm that eating fast food is what people do,” says Higgs.
Research suggests we’re more likely to be attracted by photos of fast food, especially some rich in saturated fat(饱和脂肪), which can make us feel good, says Ethan Pancer, a professor in Canada. Humans are biologically prepared to seek out high-calorie food — an ability that helped our ancestors survive when they searched for food.
“Healthier foods are often seen as boring in comparison, and processed food is considered ‘cool’,” a researcher from France, Tina Tessitore, adds that, “In advertising, you see unhealthy food in social settings --- people having a barbeque with friends, for example, while healthy food usually focuses more on the nutritional value. If you saw friends eating salad together, it wouldn’t seem so true.” All of the findings are bothering researchers about the effects of social media, whether good or bad.
8. What’s the author’s main purpose in writing the article?
A. To present elements affecting eating habits.
B. To explain the reasons for advertising food.
C. To raise public awareness of physical health.
D. To conclude findings of a new research.
9. Which of the statements might Suzanne Higgs agree with?
A. Seeing photos of familiar food prevents you from eating more.
B. Social media has more influence on your dieting than close friends.
C. You may fall into the habit of fast food consumption following social media.
D. You’re sure to imitate what others make and eat if you regularly surf the Internet.
10. What can we infer from the article?
A. People are free to make a choice on what to eat.
B. Human beings are born to choose food rich in calorie.
C. The young generation prefer fast food because it’s “cool”.
D. You’ll be easily encouraged to pick out food by experts.
11. What might the author focus on in the following paragraph?
A. Researchers make market surveys testing netizens’ acceptance of salad.
B. Internet stars stand out in advertising different kinds of processed food.
C. Public opinions vary on the current issue of food safety and nutritious diet.
D. Researchers are becoming concerned about how social media affects our diet.
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. B 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍我们的饮食容易受到各种因素的影响,其中身边的人、社交媒体以及快餐食物的图片等对我们饮食的选择都会产生不同程度的影响。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句“But are the decisions we make about our diet as free as we assume?(但是我们关于饮食所做的选择是不是真如我们设想那样自由呢?)”以及第二段的首句“It appears we’re hugely influenced by other people — especially those closest to us — when it comes to what we eat.(当谈论我们吃什么时,我们似乎受到他人的影响很大,特别是那些和我们最亲近的人。)”与第二段的“Eating habits are also affected by what we see.(我们所看到的也会影响我们的饮食习惯。)”可知,作者通过下文的内容来回答在第一段所提出的问题,因此作者的写作的目是为了呈现影响我们饮食选择的各种因素。故选A项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段中““If all your friends on social media are posting pictures of themselves consuming fast food, it’s going to set a norm that eating fast food is what people do,” says Higgs.(Higgs说,“如果在社交媒体上你所有的朋友都在发他们吃快餐的照片,那这将建立一个标准:人们吃快餐是常态。”)”可知,Higgs认为关注社交媒体上朋友的动态会让人容易养成吃快餐的习惯。故选C项。
【10题详解】

The goal of this book is to make the case for digital minimalism, including a detailed exploration of what it asks and why it works, and then to teach you how to adopt this philosophy if you decide it’s right for you.
To do so, I divided the book into two parts. In part one, I describe the philosophical foundations of digital minimalism, starting with an examination of the forces that are making so many people’s digital lives increasingly intolerable, before moving on to a detailed discussion of the digital minimalism philosophy.
Part one concludes by introducing my suggested method for adopting this philosophy: the digital declutter. This process requires you to step away from optional online activities for thirty days. At the end of the thirty days, you will then add back a small number of carefully chosen online activities that you believe will provide massive benefits to the things you value.
In the final chapter of part one, I’ll guide you through carrying out your own digital declutter. In doing so, I’ll draw on an experiment I ran in 2018 in which over 1,600 people agreed to perform a digital declutter. You’ll hear these participants’ stories and learn what strategies worked well for them, and what traps they encountered that you should avoid.
The second part of this book takes a closer look at some ideas that will help you cultivate (培养) a sustainable digital minimalism lifestyle. In these chapters, I examine issues such as the importance of solitude (独处) and the necessity of cultivating high-quality leisure to replace the time most now spent on mindless device use. Each chapter concludes with a collection of practices, which are designed to help you act on the big ideas of the chapter. You can view these practices as a toolbox meant to aid your efforts to build a minimalist lifestyle that works for your particular circumstances.
12. What is the book aimed at?
A. Teaching critical thinking skills. B. Advocating a simple digital lifestyle.
C. Solving philosophical problems. D. Promoting the use of a digital device.
13. What does the underlined word “declutter” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Clear-up. B. Add-on. C. Check-in. D. Take-over.
14. What is presented in the final chapter of part one?
A. Theoretical models. B. Statistical methods.
C. Practical examples. D. Historical analyses.
15. What does the author suggest readers do with the practices offered in part two?
A. Use them as needed. B. Recommend them to friends.
C. Evaluate their effects. D. Identify the ideas behind them.
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. A

(在第一部分的最后一章中,我将指导您进行自己的数字清理。在这样做的过程中,我将借鉴我在2018年进行的一项实验,在该实验中,1600多人同意进行数字清理)”可推知,第一部分的最后一章介绍了实验与数字清理的实际例子。故选C。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。通过文章最后一段“You can view these practices as a toolbox meant to aid your efforts to build a minimalist lifestyle that works for your particular circumstances. (你可以将这些实践视为一个工具箱,旨在帮助你建立一种适合自己特定情况的极简主义生活方式)”可推知,作者建议读者根据需要与实际情况使用第二部分中提及的实践。故选A。

【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要指出了英国的学校正在尝试使用教室机器人来试图缓解不断增长的师资短缺问题。
【36题详解】
考查固定搭配。句意:英国的学校正在尝试使用教室机器人来试图缓解不断增长的师资短缺问题。in an attempt to do sth.为固定搭配表示试图做某事。故填an。
【37题详解】
是考查时态。句意:普利茅斯的两所小学开始使这种机器作为助教的代替。分析句子可知,设空处为谓语动词,根据so far可知为现在完成时,主语two primary schools是复数,助动词用have。故填have started。
【38题详解】
考查名词。句意:很多毕业生不愿意进入初级教育部门工作,而且很多老师放弃教师工作转而从事其他领域的工作。根据空格后are可知,空格处应填复数名词graduates作主语,且放句首时单词首字母大写。故填Graduates。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:面对这种严重短缺,有些学校相信机器人可能会很快填补这个空缺。“believe”为整个句子谓语,空格处为非谓语动词作状语,其逻辑主语与主句主语保持一致,face与some school构成被动的关系,应用非谓语动词faced,且放句首时单词首字母大写。故填Faced。
【40题详解】
考查形容词。句意:测试表明老师可以通过展示各种各样的课堂教学技巧在3小时内培训这些机器人。根据空格后classroom techniques可知此处应填形容词作定语来修饰classroom techniques。vary的形容词为various。故填various。
【41题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:这些方法被机器人复制并用于现实中有真正的学生在上课的课堂场景。分析句子可知,空格前classroom setting为定语从句先行词,关系词代替先行词在从句中充当地点状语,故应用关系副词where。故填where。
【42题详解】
考查副词。句意:机器人老师成功地指导学生完成了一些具有挑战性的任务。根据空格后谓语动词guided可知,空格处应填副词作状语来修饰谓语动词,success的副词为successfully。故填successfully。
【43题详解】
考查形容词。句意:机器人老师成功地指导学生完成了一些具有挑战性的任务。根据空格后名词tasks可知,空格处应填形容词作定语,challenge的形容词为challenging。故填challenging。
【44题详解】
考查从属连词。句意:一些人担心机器人在这里会取代他们的工作,然而,另一些人很乐观地把机器人看成是一种减轻他们繁重工作量的方法。根据空格处可知,前后两句形成对比表示转折;while表示“然而”时,表示前后两种情况的对比。故填while。
【45题详解】
考查固定搭配。句意:一些人担心机器人在这里会取代他们的工作,然而,另一些人很乐观地把机器人看成是一种减轻他们繁重工作量的方法。regard…as…表示“把……看成……”。故填as。
第三节 单句语法填空(共10题,每题1分,满分10分)
用括号内单词的正确形式填空。
46. When ______ (apply) to aircraft, the principles (原理) are not substantially different. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】applied
【解析】
【详解】考查状语从句的省略。句意:当应用到飞机上时,原理并没有本质上的不同。根据空格前的when可知,此处考查状语从句的省略,when引导的时间状语从句是when they are applied to aircraft,从句的主语和主句的主语一致,且从句中有be动词,可以省略从句中的主句和be动词。故填applied。
47. It was organized by GreenHope, an organization devoted to ______ (protect) forests. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】protecting
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:它是由绿色希望组织的,一个致力于保护森林的组织。短语be devoted to doing sth.意为“致力于做某事”,空处应用protect“保护”的动名词形式,作宾语。故填protecting。
48. Agriculture has developed rapidly, thus ______ (provide) light industry with ample raw materials. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】providing
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:农业迅速发展,为轻工业提供了充足的原料。句子的主干为Agriculture has developed rapidly,空处无连词与前一句连接,作状语,provide与其逻辑主语Agriculture构成逻辑上的主动关系,用现在分词作状语。故填providing。
49. We should treat others with kindness, ________ (generous) and love. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】generosity
【解析】
【详解】考查名词。句意:我们应该用善良、慷慨和爱来对待他人。分析句子可知,空格处单词在句中与名词kindness、love是并列关系,一起作介词with后的宾语,所以generous应用名词形式generosity;generosity(慷慨)是抽象名词,不可数。故填generosity。
50. Police are investigating the woman’s ______ (disappear) (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】disappearance
【解析】
【详解】考查名词。句意:警方正在调查这名女子的失踪案。根据空格前的investigating the woman’s可知,空格处应该用名词disappearance作宾语。故填disappearance。
51. The two countries are closely linked culturally and ______ (economy). (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】economically
【解析】
【详解】考查副词。句意:两国在文化和经济上紧密相连。空处与culturally并列,用副词作状语。economy对应的副词形式为economically。故填economically。
52. Illegal hunting is threatening the ______(survive)of the species.
【答案】survival
【解析】
【详解】考查名词。句意:非法狩猎正威胁着物种的生存。分析可知此处应用名词,survive意为“幸存”,是动词,其名词为survival。故填survival。
53. A typhoon is a ______ (destroy) storm that occurs in the north-west Pacific Ocean resulting in huge losses every year. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】destructive
【解析】
【详解】考查形容词。句意:台风是发生在西北太平洋的破坏性风暴,每年造成巨大损失。空处作定语修饰名词storm,用形容词destructive,意为“破坏性的,毁灭性的”。故填destructive。
54. Quite a few aboriginal tribes became ________ (extinction) as a result of this endless pandemic. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】extinct
【解析】
【详解】考查形容词。句意:由于这场无休止的流行病,相当多的土著部落灭绝了。作表语,应用形容词extinct。故填extinct。
55. Old John breathed a sigh of ______ (relieve) when seeing his son returned safe and sound. (所给词适当形式填空)
【答案】relief

56. 他为政策辩护所说的话不是很有说服力。
His speech ______ ______ ______ the policy didn’t carry much conviction.

58. 我们一到那个地方,我就开始等着离开,他也一样。
I started to wait to leave immediately we arrived at the place and ______ ______ he.
【答案】 ①. so ②. did
【解析】
【详解】考查固定句型。“so+助动词/情态动词/be动词+主语”为固定句型,表示前面的肯定陈述同样适用于其它人或物。句中“他也一样”是与前文“一到那个地方,我就开始等着离开”一样的肯定陈述,适用该句型。前文为一般过去时态,且无助动词/情态动词/be动词,所以借助助动词did构成so did he,意为“助动词/情态动词/be动词”。故填①so;②did。
59. 我将带你参观有各种各样书籍的学校图书馆和现代化的实验室。
I’ll take you to visit the school’s library with a ______ ______ books and modern labs.

62. 对待受到如此伤害的儿童需要细心周到。
Dealing with children who are so damaged ______ ______ sensitivity.
【答案】 ①. calls ②. for
【解析】
【详解】考查动词短语。空处表示“需要”,应是动词短语call for,根据are可知句子时态用一般现在时,主语是动名词短语Dealing with children,谓语动词为第三人称单数。故填①calls②for。
63. 我正要准备放弃搜索时突然注意到灌木丛中有什么东西。
I was ________ ________ ________ ________ giving up the search when something caught my eye in the bushes。
【答案】 ① on ②. the ③. point ④. of
