She devoted over three decades of her life to serving the less fortunate. Her work empowered over 33,000 children in Cairo to achieve their potential and successfully leave Cairo’s slums (贫民窟). Her story begins with what was meant to be a quick visit to the slums in Cairo. She knew right away she would devote the rest of her life to helping those in need, especially children. The scenes of poverty in the slums forever changed her life. Mama Maggie soon abandoned the comforts of her previous life and quit her job as an American University professor to lend a helping hand to those who needed her most. She began sharing meals, gifts and basic necessities to less fortunate families in the slums. Her warmth and sincerity gave residents a sense of hope and dignity. In 1985, Mama Maggie founded the Stephen’s Children Foundation, with the mission to empower children and young people to lead their own development and lift them out of poverty. The foundation provides education and training to thousands of children living in poverty. Over the last few years, the foundation has extended its social and educational initiatives to thousands of families and children in other poor neighborhoods. To date Mama Maggie has established 92 educational centres nationwide to teach over 18,000 children and carried out healthcare campaigns that provides treatment to over 40,000 patients annually. She conducts visits to more than 13,000 children to provide training services. Her foundation’s three training centres for mothers and children empower families to earn their own income. Her foundation has benefited over 33,000 children, with the help of about 2,000 volunteers, and it is still growing today. Mama Maggie, a Nobel Prize nominee (被提名人), never sought fame or reward for her work. She desires to be remembered as a hope maker who made a difference in the lives of every person that crossed her path. 4 What inspired Mama Maggie’s devotion to the less fortunate? A. Her visit to the slums. B. The quitting of her previous work. C. The saying of a philosopher. D. The potential of the less fortunate. 5. The foundation was mainly intended to . A. offer the poor basic necessities B. improve the local healthcare C. promote the local education D. bring the poor hopeful prospects 6. Why are the figures listed in paragraph 4? A. To imply the celebrity of Mama Maggie. B. To demonstrate the rise of the foundation. C. To stress the contribution of Mama Maggie. D. To illustrate the popularity of the foundation. 7. Which words can best describe Mama Maggie? A. Considerate and optimistic. B. Caring and devoted. C. Responsible and humorous. D. Tolerant and helpful. 【答案】4. A 5. D 6. C 7. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章讲述了Mama Maggie辞去大学教授的工作，用自己的余生帮助贫民窟那些不幸的人，创立斯蒂芬儿童基金会，做出了巨大贡献，从而实现了她的人生价值。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Her story begins with what was meant to be a quick visit to the slums in Cairo. She knew right away she would devote the rest of her life to helping those in need, especially children.(她的故事从对开罗贫民窟的一次快速访问开始。她立刻意识到，她将用她的余生来帮助那些需要帮助的人，尤其是孩子们。)”可知，她对贫民窟的访问激发了Mama Maggie对那些不幸的人的奉献。故选A项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“In 1985, Mama Maggie founded the Stephen's Children Foundation, with the mission to empower children and young people to lead their own development and lift them out of poverty.(1985年，Mama Maggie创立了斯蒂芬儿童基金会，其使命是赋予儿童和年轻人权力，让他们领导自己的发展，让他们摆脱贫困。)”可知，这个基金会主要是为了给穷人带来希望。故选D项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“To date, Mama Maggie has established 92 educational centres nationwide to teach over 18,000 children and carried out healthcare campaigns that provides treatment to over 40,000 patients annually. She conducts visits to more than 13,000 children to provide training services. Her foundation's three training centres for mothers and children empower families to earn their own income.

She desires to be remembered as a hope maker who made a difference in the lives of every person that crossed her path.( Mama Maggie是诺贝尔奖提名者，她从不为自己的工作追求名利或回报。她希望人们记住她是一个希望创造者，她改变了每一个遇到她的人的生活。)”可知，Mama Maggie是关心他人的和奉献的。故选B项。 C In May 2012, Australia’s Macquarie Dictionary and the McCann Advertising Agency gathered a group of language experts to name a phenomenon common in the age of the smartphone. They called the phenomenon “phubbing”, and defined(定义)it as “the act of snubbing(无视)someone in a social setting by looking at your phone instead of paying attention.” It’s not the usual way words begin to exist. A month later, the first example of phubbing in a major newspaper appeared in a letter to the editor of The Age, published in Melbourne. Since then, the word has appeared in various media the world over. Phubbing has yet to be fully adopted in the U. S. , but we have collected some evidence of it in use. On 29 September 2015, James A. Roberts wrote in the Huffinington Post, “In the present case, phubbing is a combination of the words phone and snubbing. To be phubbed is to be snubbed by someone using their cell phone while in your company. The “phubb” could be an interruption of your conversation with someone when he or she uses their cell phone or is distracted by it (steal glances when they think you’re not looking) instead of paying attention to you. Maybe worse, you’ve been phubbed if someone used their cell phone instead of communicating with you while staying close to you. Oh, the shame. ” The meaning and various forms of the word have yet to settle out. Is it phubbing if you’re staring at your tablet instead of your phone? Is the singular noun (and the base form of the verb) spelled phubb, as in the example above, or phub, as in some other sources? These are the sorts of questions we’ll need answers to before we’re ready to consider phubbing and its relations for entry. In the meanwhile, you can of course use phubbing if you feel the need. It seems we all do these days. 8. What does Paragraph 1 mainly talk about phubbing? A. Its usage. B. Its birth. C. Its influence. D. Its definition. 9. What may phubbing probably lead to according to James A. Roberts? A. Obvious embarrassment in life. B. Heavy reliance on cellphones. C. Complete ignorance by your friends. D. Permanent breakup of retalionship. 10. What can we learn from the last paragraph about the word phubb? A. It arouses heated arguments. B. It proves to be settled. C. It’s not included in a dictionary. D. It’s not difficult to understand. 11. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A. Where Phubbing Leads Us? B. Why Phubbing Ruins Our Life? C. What Makes Phubbing Commonly Seen? D. How Phone Snubbing Becomes Phubbing? 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍phubbing这个新词的诞生。 【8题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“In May 2012, Australia’s Macquarie Dictionary and the McCann Advertising Agency gathered a group of language experts to name a phenomenon common in the age of the smartphone. They called the phenomenon “phubbing”, and defined(定义)it as “the act of snubbing(无视)someone in a social setting by looking at your phone instead of paying attention.” It’s not the usual way words begin to exist.”(2012年5月，澳大利亚麦格理词典和麦肯广告公司召集了一组语言专家，为智能手机时代常见的一种现象命名。他们称这种现象为“phubbing”，并将其定义为“在社交场合看手机而不注意的怠慢行为”。这不是文字存在的常见方式。)可知，这一段主要讲述如何产生了“phubbing”这个词，以及它的意思，所以是讲这个词的诞生。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“To be phubbed is to be snubbed by someone using their cell phone while in your company. The “phubb” could be an interruption of your conversation with someone when he or she uses their cell phone or is distracted by it (steal glances when they think you’re not looking) instead of paying attention to you. Maybe worse, you’ve been phubbed if someone used their cell phone instead of communicating with you while staying close to you. Oh, the shame.”(被“phubbed”是指在陪同你的时候，那些人一直在用他们的手机，而你被人冷落。“phubb”可能是当某人使用他或她的手机或被手机分心(在他们认为你没有注意的时候偷看他们)而不是注意你时，打断你们的谈话。也许更糟糕的是，如果有人在靠近你的时候使用手机而不和你交流，你一直被冷落。哦，真丢人。)可知，“phubbing”可能会导致你被玩手机的朋友们忽视而感到丢人。故选A。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“These are the sorts of questions we’ll need answers to before we’re ready to consider phubbing and its relations for entry.”(在我们准备考虑phubbing和它的相关为词条之前，我们需要回答这些问题。)可知，这个词成为词条之前还有许多问题要处理，因此推断的这个词还没有被收录入字典。故选C。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“In May 2012, Australia’s Macquarie Dictionary and the McCann Advertising Agency gathered a group of language experts to name a phenomenon common in the age of the smartphone. They called the phenomenon “phubbing”, and defined(定义)it as “the act of snubbing(无视)someone in a social setting by looking at your phone instead of paying attention.” It’s not the usual way words begin to exist.”(2012年5月，澳大利亚麦格理词典和麦肯广告公司召集了一组语言专家，为智能手机时代常见的一种现象命名。他们称这种现象为“phubbing”，并将其定义为“在社交场合看手机而不注意的怠慢行为”。这不是文字存在的常见方式。)和最后一段“The meaning and various forms of the word have yet to settle out.”(这个词的意思和各种形式还没有确定。)可知，整篇文章都是围绕phubbing这个词来讨论的，从它的诞生，适用范围，到还没有确定的意思和各种形式。因此D项“Phone Snubbing是如何变成Phubbing的？”为最佳标题。故选D。 D From the engine in your car to the CPU in your laptop, mechanical systems tend to heat up when they’re working harder. Now new research has revealed that the same can be said of the brain -and it runs hotter than was previously thought. This isn’t a sign of malfunctioning though, researchers think, and may actually be evidence that the brain is operating healthily. Unusual heat signatures could potentially be used in the future to look for signs of brain damage or disorder. “To me, the most surprising finding from our study is that the healthy human brain can reach temperatures that would be diagnosed as fever anywhere else in the body,” says biologist John O’Neill from the Medical Research Council (MRC) Laboratory of Molecular Biology in the UK. “Such high temperatures have been measured in people with brain injuries in the past, but had been assumed to result from the injury.” Previously, those measurements taken from people with brain injuries had been the primary insight scientists had into brain temperatures which isn’t the same as capturing the state of the brain during everyday life. Here, the team used a technique called magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS)-measuring chemical patterns through magnetic fields to measure brain temperature in 40healthy volunteers, aged from 20 to 40 years old. What’s more, they combined this information with data on circadian rhythms (生理节奏) and time of day. The average brain temperature was38. 5℃ (101.3F) the researchers found more than2degrees higher than under the tongue. The highest brain temperature recorded was40. 9℃(105. 6℃). Daily variations averaged around1℃(1.8F), with the outer parts of the brain generally cooler. “We found that brain temperature drops at night before you go to sleep and rises during the day, “says O’Neill. “There is good reason to believe this daily variation is associated with long-term brain health—something we hope to investigate next.” 12. What does the underlined word “malfunctioning” in paragraph 2 mean？ A. Having different functions. B. Failing to work correctly. C. Heating up while working. D. Operating in high temperatures. 13. What surprises John O’Neill most in the study according to paragraph 3？ A. Brain injuries usually lead to high temperatures. B. High temperatures are the signs of brain damage. C. Healthy human brains can be infected with a fever. D. Human brains have higher temperatures than bodies. 14. What is paragraph 5 mainly about？ A. What result the research led to. B. How the research was conducted. C. How the research differed from the previous ones. D. What influence the research had on the volunteers. 15. What may the researchers work on next according to the last paragraph？ A. The drop of brain temperature at night. B. The rise of brain temperature at dawn. C. The relationship between temperature changes and brain health. D. The different causes of the daily variation in brain temperatures. 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。现在，一项新的研究表明，大脑的运行温度比之前想象的要高。这并不是功能故障的迹象，实际上可能是大脑健康运行的证据。文章介绍了研究开展的过程和方式。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段画线词后文“researchers think, and may actually be evidence that the brain is operating healthily(研究人员认为，这也可能是大脑健康运行的证据)”可知，研究人员认为，这并不是大脑工作不正常的迹象，实际上可能是大脑健康运行的证据。故画线词意思是“工作不正常”。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段““To me, the most surprising finding from our study is that the healthy human brain can reach temperatures that would be diagnosed as fever anywhere else in the body,” says biologist John O’Neill from the Medical Research Council (MRC) Laboratory of Molecular Biology in the UK.(英国医学研究委员会分子生物学实验室的生物学家约翰·奥尼尔说：“对我来说， 我们的研究中最令人惊讶的发现是，健康人的大脑可以达到被诊断为身体其他地方发烧的温度。”)”可知，最让他惊讶地是健康人脑可以达到比身体更高的温度。故选D。 【14题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第五段“Here, the team used a technique called magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS)-measuring chemical patterns through magnetic fields to measure brain temperature in 40healthy volunteers, aged from 20 to 40 years old. What’s more, they combined this information with data on circadian rhythms (生理节奏) and time of day.(在这里，研究小组使用了一种叫做磁共振波谱学(MRS)的技术——通过磁场测量化学模式来测量40名年龄在20到40岁之间的健康志愿者的大脑温度。更重要的是，他们将这些信息与昼夜节律和时间的数据结合起来)”可知，该段讲述的是实验是如何进行的。故选B。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“There is good reason to believe this daily variation is associated with long-term brain health—something we hope to investigate next.(我们有充分的理由相信这种日常变化与长期的大脑健康有关——这是我们希望下一步研究的内容)”可知，研究人员下一步会研究温度变化与大脑健康之间的关系。故选C。 第二节(每小题2.5分, 满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。其中有两项为多余选项。 The man who could see the future The ability to predict the future is a rare talent.

Specifically, he said that “mobile computerized objects” would be an important part of everyday life. Here, he clearly predicted our world of smartphones, tables and other devices. He also had a great deal to say about space exploration. ___18___ How did Asimov develop his special sense of future developments? ___19___ He read the newspapers and magazines sold in his parents’ candy store. His scientific interest gained sharper focus at Columbia University in New York. Asimov went to study chemistry, but became bored with pure laboratory science. Instead, he thought hard about the social implications(作用) of science. He wanted to communicate his ideas to the public. ___20___ Asimov had his finger on the pulse(脉搏)of both scientific and social change. He had a clear vision of what was coming around the corner for humanity in his works like the Galactic Empire series(《银河帝国系列》). “His predictions are absolutely fascinating,” Calum Chase, an English writer, told BBC News. “He was a genius.” A. As a smart boy, Asimov taught himself to read at the age of five. B. Space exploration really can make our life more convenient and comfortable. C. Back in 1983, he was asked to predict what the world would look like in 2019. D. On the role that computing would play in the future, he was amazingly accurate. E. Asimov has developed a great interest in computer programming since childhood. F. As an author, his books would feature the theme of social change caused by technology. G. The International Space Station proves his prediction that we would not simply visit space but seek to stay there. 【答案】16. C 17. D 18. G 19. A 20. F 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了科幻大师阿西莫夫和他的预言的准确性以及他是如何培养他对未来发展的特殊意识的。 【16题详解】 由American author Isaac Asimov (1920—1992), one of the great science fiction writers of his age, had such a talent. ___1___ Now that we’re here, let’s see what he got right.”可知，美国作家艾萨克·阿西莫夫（1920-1992）是他那个时代最伟大的科幻作家之一，他有这样一种天赋。以及后文“让我们看看他预测对了什么。”可推知，空格处在本段中起到承上启下的作用。故C选项“早在1983年，他就被要求预测2019年的世界会是什么样子”承上启下。故C选项切题。 【17题详解】 由“Asimov thought computers would cause a revolution comparable to the industrial revolution of the 19th century”可知，阿西莫夫认为计算机将引发一场与19世纪工业革命相当的革命，根据第一段可知，下面是讲阿西莫夫预测的结果，故D选项“关于计算机在未来将所扮演的角色。他惊人准确地预测了”是说明他预测的计算机的结果，与本段内容符合，故D选项切题。 【18题详解】 由“He also had a great deal to say about space exploration”可知，关于太空探索，他也预测了。所以空格处要接着说他预言的结果。故G选项“国际空间站证明了他的预言，我们不仅要拜访太空，还要设法留在那里”与太空探索相关，且是预测结果。故G选项切题。 【19题详解】 由“He read the newspapers and magazines sold in his parents’candy store”可知，他读了父母糖果店出售的报纸和杂志。所以空格处要与下一句一起来说明阿西莫夫是如何培养他对未来发展的特殊意识的。故A选项“作为一个聪明的孩子，阿西莫夫在五岁时就开始自学”承上启下。故A选项切题。 【20题详解】 由“Asimov had his finger on the pulse(脉搏) of both scientific and social change. He had a clear vision of what was coming around the corner for humanity in his works like the Galactic Empire series(《银河帝国系列》). “His predictions are absolutely fascinating,” Calum Chase, an English writer, told BBC News. “He was a genius. ”可知，阿西莫夫将手指放在科学和社会变革的脉搏上。他在《银河帝国》系列等作品中清楚地看到了人类即将面临的困境。英国作家卡鲁姆·蔡斯（对英国广播公司说：“他是个天才。”所以本段主要在说作为一名作家，他的书以科技引起的社会变革为主题，故F选项“作为一名作家，他的书以科技引起的社会变革为主题”是本段主题句。故F选项切题。 第三部分语言运用(共两节, 满分30分) 第一节(共15小题; 每小题1分, 满分15分) 阅读下面短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Every year, many dolphins worldwide are captured and kept in small pools, performing for people, especially children.

My husband and I decided on visiting Cape Cod, a beautiful sea resort, which is about three hour drive from the city of Boston. Our daughter who then lived in Salem close to Boston dropped us off at Salem at one of the pick-up points of the tour bus in Boston. We decided to return home on our own in the evening as we thought that we could catch a local train to Salem from Boston. Our daughter insisted that she should pick us in the evening, but we were confident of our ability to retrace our way and we didn’t want to trouble her. We had a great time in Cape Cod and returned to Boston at six in the evening. We thought that Boston commuter rail station(通勤火车站) was close to the last but one stage before the drop off point, so we got off the bus at the stage. My husband has a very good memory and a keen sense of direction. I just blindly followed him, without knowing where we were heading to. But after a while, we found ourselves going round in a maze(迷宫), with the station nowhere in sight! Being a Sunday, the roads were empty. At first, we didn’t count on the stranger to save us from that situation. Finally, having no other option, we approached a young boy dressed in strange clothes. We didn’t think he was good enough to show us the way, but we just had a try. We approached him and explained the situation. To our surprise, he personally took us to the station on hearing our problem. On the way to the station, we talked a lot. We knew he was at the same age as our daughter. He just got off work from a bar, where he worked as a singer. We asked why he chose this job, and he said that this was his part-time job since he needed to earn extra money for his sister's study. Both my husband and I became silent. Para. 1 After reaching there, we found the tickets needed to be bought by credit card which we didn’t have. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Para. 2 After we arrived home we told our daughter about the story of that kind boy. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: After reaching there, we found the tickets needed to be bought by credit card which we didn’t have. As the last train was going to leave, we were at a loss about what to do when the “fancy-face” boy took his card to buy two tickets for us without hesitation. We wanted to give him the money; however, he just refused our offer. We could do nothing but express how we were grateful for what he had done for us. Finally, he just waved goodbye to us before we asked his name. After we arrived home, we told our daughter about the story of that kind boy. To be honest, we didn’t even believe that a young boy looking not very nice was one who gave us a hand. “Don’t judge a book by his cover.” This is a big lesson for us to learn. The boy has the courage to shoulder the responsibility at such a young age and he is just so kind-hearted. And this memory will store up in our hearts forever and remind us of being ready to help others, too. 【解析】 【分析】本文以人物为线索展开，文章讲述作者和丈夫在旅行结束准备回女儿家时找不到去车站的路，他们抱着试一试的心态问了一个衣着怪异的男孩子，没想到他爽快地答应了，这让作者夫妇很吃惊，并且在去车站的路上了解到男孩子虽然年龄不大，但是他在酒吧唱歌以供妹妹读书。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“到达那里后，我们发现票需要用信用卡购买，而我们没有。”可知，第一段可描写作者和丈夫买不到票，男孩又一次帮助了他们。 ②由第二段首句内容“回到家后，我们给女儿讲了那个善良男孩的故事。”可知，第二段可描写作者和女儿分享男孩的故事后女儿的回应以及大家的感悟。 2.续写线索：买不到票——帮助买票——感谢——回家——分享——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①购买：buy/purchase ②相信：believe/trust ③拒绝：refuse/decline 情绪类 ①感谢：be grateful for/show one’s appreciation ②不知所措：be at a loss/lose one’s head 【点睛】 [高分句型1].

B “The value of people cannot be defined,” this is the philosophy by which Majda Gibran, better known in Egypt as “Mama Maggie”, lives. She devoted over three decades of her life to serving the less fortunate. Her work empowered over 33,000 children in Cairo to achieve their potential and successfully leave Cairo’s slums (贫民窟). Her story begins with what was meant to be a quick visit to the slums in Cairo. She knew right away she would devote the rest of her life to helping those in need, especially children. The scenes of poverty in the slums forever changed her life. Mama Maggie soon abandoned the comforts of her previous life and quit her job as an American University professor to lend a helping hand to those who needed her most. She began sharing meals, gifts and basic necessities to less fortunate families in the slums. Her warmth and sincerity gave residents a sense of hope and dignity. In 1985, Mama Maggie founded the Stephen’s Children Foundation, with the mission to empower children and young people to lead their own development and lift them out of poverty. The foundation provides education and training to thousands of children living in poverty. Over the last few years, the foundation has extended its social and educational initiatives to thousands of families and children in other poor neighborhoods. To date, Mama Maggie has established 92 educational centres nationwide to teach over 18,000 children and carried out healthcare campaigns that provides treatment to over 40,000 patients annually. She conducts visits to more than 13,000 children to provide training services. Her foundation’s three training centres for mothers and children empower families to earn their own income. Her foundation has benefited over 33,000 children, with the help of about 2,000 volunteers, and it is still growing today. Mama Maggie, a Nobel Prize nominee (被提名人), never sought fame or reward for her work. She desires to be remembered as a hope maker who made a difference in the lives of every person that crossed her path. 4. What inspired Mama Maggie’s devotion to the less fortunate? A. Her visit to the slums. B. The quitting of her previous work. C. The saying of a philosopher. D. The potential of the less fortunate. 5. The foundation was mainly intended to . A. offer the poor basic necessities B. improve the local healthcare C. promote the local education D. bring the poor hopeful prospects 6. Why are the figures listed in paragraph 4? A.

Which words can best describe Mama Maggie? A. Considerate and optimistic. B. Caring and devoted. C. Responsible and humorous. D. Tolerant and helpful. C In May 2012, Australia’s Macquarie Dictionary and the McCann Advertising Agency gathered a group of language experts to name a phenomenon common in the age of the smartphone. They called the phenomenon “phubbing”, and defined(定义)it as “the act of snubbing(无视)someone in a social setting by looking at your phone instead of paying attention.” It’s not the usual way words begin to exist. A month later, the first example of phubbing in a major newspaper appeared in a letter to the editor of The Age, published in Melbourne. Since then, the word has appeared in various media the world over. Phubbing has yet to be fully adopted in the U. S. , but we have collected some evidence of it in use. On 29 September 2015, James A. Roberts wrote in the Huffinington Post, “In the present case, phubbing is a combination of the words phone and snubbing. To be phubbed is to be snubbed by someone using their cell phone while in your company. The “phubb” could be an interruption of your conversation with someone when he or she uses their cell phone or is distracted by it (steal glances when they think you’re not looking) instead of paying attention to you. Maybe worse, you’ve been phubbed if someone used their cell phone instead of communicating with you while staying close to you. Oh, the shame. ” The meaning and various forms of the word have yet to settle out. Is it phubbing if you’re staring at your tablet instead of your phone? Is the singular noun (and the base form of the verb) spelled phubb, as in the example above, or phub, as in some other sources? These are the sorts of questions we’ll need answers to before we’re ready to consider phubbing and its relations for entry. In the meanwhile, you can of course use phubbing if you feel the need. It seems we all do these days. 8. What does Paragraph 1 mainly talk about phubbing? A Its usage. B. Its birth. C. Its influence. D. Its definition. 9. What may phubbing probably lead to according to James A. Roberts? A. Obvious embarrassment in life. B. Heavy reliance on cellphones. C. Complete ignorance by your friends. D. Permanent breakup of retalionship. 10. What can we learn from the last paragraph about the word phubb? A. It arouses heated arguments. B. It proves to be settled. C. It’s not included in a dictionary. D. It’s not difficult to understand. 11. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A. Where Phubbing Leads Us? B. Why Phubbing Ruins Our Life? C. What Makes Phubbing Commonly Seen? D. How Phone Snubbing Becomes Phubbing? D From the engine in your car to the CPU in your laptop, mechanical systems tend to heat up when they’re working harder. Now new research has revealed that the same can be said of the brain -and it runs hotter than was previously thought. This isn’t a sign of malfunctioning though, researchers think, and may actually be evidence that the brain is operating healthily. Unusual heat signatures could potentially be used in the future to look for signs of brain damage or disorder. “To me, the most surprising finding from our study is that the healthy human brain can reach temperatures that would be diagnosed as fever anywhere else in the body,” says biologist John O’Neill from the Medical Research Council (MRC) Laboratory of Molecular Biology in the UK. “Such high temperatures have been measured in people with brain injuries in the past, but had been assumed to result from the injury.” Previously, those measurements taken from people with brain injuries had been the primary insight scientists had into brain temperatures which isn’t the same as capturing the state of the brain during everyday life. Here, the team used a technique called magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS)-measuring chemical patterns through magnetic fields to measure brain temperature in 40healthy volunteers, aged from 20 to 40 years old. What’s more, they combined this information with data on circadian rhythms (生理节奏) and time of day. The average brain temperature was38. 5℃ (101.3F) the researchers found, more than2degrees higher than under the tongue. The highest brain temperature recorded was40. 9℃(105. 6℃). Daily variations averaged around1℃(1.8F), with the outer parts of the brain generally cooler. “We found that brain temperature drops at night before you go to sleep and rises during the day, “says O’Neill. “There is good reason to believe this daily variation is associated with long-term brain health—something we hope to investigate next.” 12.

My husband and I decided on visiting Cape Cod, a beautiful sea resort, which is about three hour drive from the city of Boston. Our daughter who then lived in Salem close to Boston dropped us off at Salem at one of the pick-up points of the tour bus in Boston. We decided to return home on our own in the evening as we thought that we could catch a local train to Salem from Boston. Our daughter insisted that she should pick us in the evening, but we were confident of our ability to retrace our way and we didn’t want to trouble her. We had a great time in Cape Cod and returned to Boston at six in the evening. We thought that Boston commuter rail station(通勤火车站) was close to the last but one stage before the drop off point, so we got off the bus at the stage. My husband has a very good memory and a keen sense of direction. I just blindly followed him, without knowing where we were heading to. But after a while, we found ourselves going round in a maze(迷宫), with the station nowhere in sight! Being a Sunday, the roads were empty. At first, we didn’t count on the stranger to save us from that situation. Finally, having no other option, we approached a young boy dressed in strange clothes. We didn’t think he was good enough to show us the way, but we just had a try. We approached him and explained the situation. To our surprise, he personally took us to the station on hearing our problem. On the way to the station, we talked a lot. We knew he was at the same age as our daughter. He just got off work from a bar, where he worked as a singer. We asked why he chose this job, and he said that this was his part-time job since he needed to earn extra money for his sister's study. Both my husband and I became silent. Para. 1 After reaching there, we found the tickets needed to be bought by credit card which we didn’t have. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Para. 2 After we arrived home we told our daughter about the story of that kind boy. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力答案：1-5 CAACB 6-10 BAABA 11-15 ABBAB 16-20 CAABC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
