It was not turning out to be the great fishing trip we had imagined. It certainly was not the one Father had promised. All day the rain beat against the roof of our cabin.
Father sat at the window, looking out over the lake. My older brother Jeremy, who had recently turned sixteen years old, lay on the bed, looking up at the ceiling. I paced the room, occasionally glancing toward Father to see if there was any sign that the rain would let up.
“I wish we’d never come out to this boring place,” Jeremy said.
I stopped pacing and looked at Father. He gave no sign that he had heard, and I hoped he hadn’t. This trip meant a lot to him. He used to come out here with own father.
I started pacing again.
“I mean, if we’d stayed home, at least I could watch TV, go out with my friends or play my guitar,” Jeremy continued.
Silence continued for some time. I kept pacing, imagining the trip I had dreamed of before the bad weather had set in. I saw us in the boat, anchor dropped in a calm bay casting our lines toward shore, the way Father had described it when he was trying to convince Jeremy to come along.
Father stood up and turned to face us. He smiled at me. “Come on, get up, Jeremy,” he said. “Let’s go fishing, boys.” He picked up his fishing rod and the tool box, opened the door, and walked out into the rain.
Jeremy and I watched Father walk down the pathway toward the dock (码头),the wind whipping (打) at his hair,the rain wetting his clothes. Jeremy shook his head. “He's crazy if he thinks I’m going with him,” he said. “Maybe I would have when I was a little kid, but not now,” he said.
I waited for a while, unsure of what to do, looking out the open door at Father, who was walking onto the dock, facing against the storm. Jeremy couldn’t believe I picked up my rod and walked out into the storm after Father. I couldn’t quite hear what Jeremy said because of the wind in my ears, but I heard his footsteps behind me as he began to follow me out to the boat.
4. What does the underlined phrase “let up” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Stop. B. Continue. C. Hit. D. Arrive.
5. Why was the fishing trip important for the author’s father?
A. He had never fished in the rain.
B. It’s his son Jeremy’s first fishing trip.
C. He and his own father usually went fishing there.
D. He wanted to have a better relationship with his sons.
6. What can we know about Jeremy?
A He doesn’t enjoy fishing.
B. He dislikes outdoor activities.
C. He is addicted to playing the guitar.
D. He showed no interest in the fishing trip.
7. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A To express the fondness for a particular day.
B. To describe a fishing experience in the rain.
C. To reflect on the old family tradition of fishing.
D. To recall the generation gap between father and brother.
C
They say procrastination (拖延) is the thief of time — actually deadlines are. New research has found that if you want someone to help you out with something, it is best not to set a deadline at all. But if you do set a deadline, make it short.
Professor Stephen Knowles tested the effect of deadline length on task completion for their research.Participants were invited to complete an online survey concerning a charity donation. They were given either one week, one month, or no deadline to respond. Professor Knowles says although the topic of the survey is about charity, the results are true of any situation where someone asks another person for help.
The study found responses to the survey were lowest for the one-month deadline and highest when no deadline was specified. No deadline and the one-week deadline led to many early responses, while a long deadline appeared to give people permission to procrastinate, and then forget. Professor Knowles wasn’t surprised to find that specifying a shorter deadline increased the chances of receiving a response compared to a longer deadline. However, he did find it interesting that they received the most responses when no deadline was specified.
“We interpret this as evidence that specifying a longer deadline, as opposed to a short deadline or no deadline at all, removes the urgency to act,” he says. “People therefore put off undertaking the task, and since they are inattentive or forget, postponing it results in lower response rates.”
He says of the research that it is possible that not specifying a deadline might still have led participants to assume that there is an unspoken deadline. Professor Knowles hopes his research can help reduce the amount of procrastinating people do. “Many people procrastinate. They have the best intentions of helping someone out, but just do not get around to doing it.”
8. Why did Professor Knowles do the research?
A. To study the role a deadline plays in procrastination.
B. To find out whether people are interested in charity.
C. To attract public attention to the effects of procrastination.
D. To test the effect of procrastination on task completion.
9. What most likely leads to procrastination?
A. No deadlines. B. Short deadlines. C. Specific deadlines. D. Long deadlines.
10. What’ s the attitude of Professor Knowles to the findings of the study?
A. Interested. B. Conservative. C. Confused. D. Unsurprised.
11. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Procrastination — the Thief of Time B. Procrastination — the Urgent Problem to Solve
C. Deadline — the Key to Reducing Procrastination D. Deadline — a Result of Procrastination
D
Cows produce much methane (甲烷), the world’s second worst greenhouse gas, as they break down the grass. They are a large source of the greenhouse gases that are driving climate change. Now scientists have shown the pollution from cows can be reduced by adding a little seaweed (海藻) to their food.
Recently, the researchers from the University of California studied 21 cows on a farm for about five months. They taught the cows to get their food from inside a special hood (罩), which allowed the scientists to know the amount of the methane the cows were giving off. They used a small amount of seaweed, which they mixed with the cows’ food.
The results were surprisingly good. In some cases, the cows produced 82% less methane. The improvement depended on the kind of food the cows were given. Even the worst-polluting cows produced 33% less methane. Over the five months, the scientists didn’t see any signs that the cows* stomachs were getting used to the seaweed and starting to produce more methane again. What’s more, the cows that were fed seaweed gained just as much weight as the other cows.
But there are still some big problems with the idea of feeding cows seaweed. For one thing, there’s not enough seaweed to feed all of the cows in the world. So farmers would have to figure out a way to grow lots of seaweed. A bigger problem is that for most of their lives, cows live in the fields, where they eat grass. That means there’s no chance to feed them seaweed every day.
Still, it’s very good news that something as simple as feeding cows seaweed can help reduce some of the pollution causing the climate crisis.
12. Why did the researchers carry out the study?
A To improve the cows’ welfare.
B. To test the effects of the seaweed,
C. To measure the amount of methane produced by cows.
D. To discover healthier grass to reduce the pollution from cows.
13. What’s the third paragraph mainly about?
A. The results of the study. B. The process of the research.
C. The content of the experiment. D. The information of the subjects.
14. What is the biggest challenge in the researchers’ opinion?
A. Seaweed is pretty rare in the world.
B. It’s hard to mix seaweed with grass.
C. Cows fed with seaweed gained weight easily.
D. Cows can hardly have daily access to seaweed.
15. What is the author’s attitude towards the findings?
A. Doubtful. B. Negative. C. Unclear. D. Positive.

It was not turning out to be the great fishing trip we had imagined. It certainly was not the one Father had promised. All day the rain beat against the roof of our cabin.
Father sat at the window looking out over the lake. My older brother Jeremy, who had recently turned sixteen years old, lay on the bed, looking up at the ceiling. I paced the room, occasionally glancing toward Father to see if there was any sign that the rain would let up.
“I wish we’d never come out to this boring place,” Jeremy said.
I stopped pacing and looked at Father. He gave no sign that he had heard, and I hoped he hadn’t. This trip meant a lot to him. He used to come out here with own father.
I started pacing again.
“I mean, if we’d stayed home, at least I could watch TV, go out with my friends or play my guitar,” Jeremy continued.
Silence continued for some time. I kept pacing, imagining the trip I had dreamed of before the bad weather had set in. I saw us in the boat, anchor dropped in a calm bay casting our lines toward shore, the way Father had described it when he was trying to convince Jeremy to come along.
Father stood up and turned to face us. He smiled at me. “Come on, get up, Jeremy,” he said. “Let’s go fishing, boys.” He picked up his fishing rod and the tool box, opened the door, and walked out into the rain.
Jeremy and I watched Father walk down the pathway toward the dock (码头),the wind whipping (打) at his hair,the rain wetting his clothes. Jeremy shook his head. “He's crazy if he thinks I’m going with him,” he said. “Maybe I would have when I was a little kid, but not now,” he said.
I waited for a while, unsure of what to do, looking out the open door at Father, who was walking onto the dock, facing against the storm. Jeremy couldn’t believe I picked up my rod and walked out into the storm after Father. I couldn’t quite hear what Jeremy said because of the wind in my ears, but I heard his footsteps behind me as he began to follow me out to the boat.
4. What does the underlined phrase “let up” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Stop. B. Continue. C. Hit. D. Arrive.
5. Why was the fishing trip important for the author’s father?
A. He had never fished in the rain.
B. It’s his son Jeremy’s first fishing trip.

They say procrastination (拖延) is the thief of time — actually deadlines are. New research has found that if you want someone to help you out with something, it is best not to set a deadline at all. But if you do set a deadline, make it short.
Professor Stephen Knowles tested the effect of deadline length on task completion for their research.Participants were invited to complete an online survey concerning a charity donation. They were given either one week, one month, or no deadline to respond. Professor Knowles says although the topic of the survey is about charity, the results are true of any situation where someone asks another person for help.
The study found responses to the survey were lowest for the one-month deadline and highest when no deadline was specified. No deadline and the one-week deadline led to many early responses, while a long deadline appeared to give people permission to procrastinate, and then forget. Professor Knowles wasn’t surprised to find that specifying a shorter deadline increased the chances of receiving a response compared to a longer deadline. However, he did find it interesting that they received the most responses when no deadline was specified.
“We interpret this as evidence that specifying a longer deadline, as opposed to a short deadline or no deadline at all, removes the urgency to act,” he says. “People therefore put off undertaking the task, and since they are inattentive or forget, postponing it results in lower response rates.”
He says of the research that it is possible that not specifying a deadline might still have led participants to assume that there is an unspoken deadline. Professor Knowles hopes his research can help reduce the amount of procrastinating people do. “Many people procrastinate. They have the best intentions of helping someone out, but just do not get around to doing it.”
8. Why did Professor Knowles do the research?
A. To study the role a deadline plays in procrastination.
B. To find out whether people are interested in charity.
C. To attract public attention to the effects of procrastination.
D. To test the effect of procrastination on task completion.
9. What most likely leads to procrastination?
A. No deadlines. B. Short deadlines. C. Specific deadlines. D. Long deadlines.
10. What’ s the attitude of Professor Knowles to the findings of the study?
A. Interested. B. Conservative. C. Confused. D. Unsurprised.
11. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Procrastination — the Thief of Time B. Procrastination — the Urgent Problem to Solve
C. Deadline — the Key to Reducing Procrastination D. Deadline — a Result of Procrastination
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. D 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了人们拖延与设定截止日期的时间长短有关。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Professor Stephen Knowles tested the effect of deadline length on task completion for their research. (Stephen Knowles教授在他们的研究中测试了截止日期长度对任务完成的影响)”可推断,Stephen Knowles教授做这项研究是为了研究设定截止日期对拖延这一行为的影响。故选A。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“No deadline and the one-week deadline led to many early responses, while a long deadline appeared to give people permission to procrastinate, and then forget. (没有截止日期和一周的截止日期导致了许多早期的回复,而较长的截止日期似乎允许人们拖延,然后忘记)”可知,设定很长的截止日期最有可能导致拖延。故选D。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Professor Knowles wasn’t surprised to find that specifying a shorter deadline increased the chances of receiving a response compared to a longer deadline.( Knowles教授毫不惊讶地发现,与较长的截止日期相比,指定较短的截止日期会增加收到回复的机会)”可推断,Knowles教授对这项研究结果的态度是不惊讶的。故选D。
11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,再根据文章第一段“They say procrastination is the thief of time — actually deadlines are. (人们说拖延是时间的小偷——实际上截止日期才是罪魁祸首)”以及第三段“specifying a shorter deadline increased the chances of receiving a response compared to a longer deadline. (与较长的截止日期相比,指定较短的截止日期可以增加收到回复的机会)”可知,文章主要介绍了设定截止日期的长短会影响人们做事是否拖延。由此可知,C项“Deadline — the Key to Reducing Procrastination (截止日期——减少拖延的关键)”适合作为本文标题。故选C。
D
Cows produce much methane (甲烷), the world’s second worst greenhouse gas, as they break down the grass. They are a large source of the greenhouse gases that are driving climate change. Now scientists have shown the pollution from cows can be reduced by adding a little seaweed (海藻) to their food.
Recently, the researchers from the University of California studied 21 cows on a farm for about five months. They taught the cows to get their food from inside a special hood (罩), which allowed the scientists to know the amount of the methane the cows were giving off. They used a small amount of seaweed, which they mixed with the cows’ food.
The results were surprisingly good. In some cases, the cows produced 82% less methane. The improvement depended on the kind of food the cows were given. Even the worst-polluting cows produced 33% less methane. Over the five months, the scientists didn’t see any signs that the cows* stomachs were getting used to the seaweed and starting to produce more methane again. What’s more, the cows that were fed seaweed gained just as much weight as the other cows.
But there are still some big problems with the idea of feeding cows seaweed. For one thing, there’s not enough seaweed to feed all of the cows in the world. So farmers would have to figure out a way to grow lots of seaweed. A bigger problem is that for most of their lives, cows live in the fields, where they eat grass. That means there’s no chance to feed them seaweed every day.
Still, it’s very good news that something as simple as feeding cows seaweed can help reduce some of the pollution causing the climate crisis.
12. Why did the researchers carry out the study?
A. To improve the cows’ welfare.
B. To test the effects of the seaweed,
C. To measure the amount of methane produced by cows.
D. To discover healthier grass to reduce the pollution from cows.
13. What’s the third paragraph mainly about?
A. The results of the study. B. The process of the research.
C. The content of the experiment. D. The information of the subjects.
14. What is the biggest challenge in the researchers’ opinion?
A. Seaweed is pretty rare in the world.
B. It’s hard to mix seaweed with grass.
C. Cows fed with seaweed gained weight easily.
D. Cows can hardly have daily access to seaweed.
15. What is the author’s attitude towards the findings?
A. Doubtful. B. Negative. C. Unclear. D. Positive.
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. D 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲的是科学家们已经证明,通过在牛的食物中添加一点海藻,可以减少来自牛的污染。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段的“They used a small amount of seaweed, which they mixed with the cows’ food.(他们使用了少量的海藻,并将其与牛的食物混合)”和第三段的“The results were surprisingly good. In some cases, the cows produced 82% less methane. The improvement depended on the kind of food the cows were given. Even the worst-polluting cows produced 33% less methane.(结果出乎意料的好。在某些情况下,奶牛产生的甲烷减少了82%。这种改善取决于喂给奶牛的食物种类。即使是污染最严重的奶牛产生的甲烷也减少了33%)”可知,研究人员进行这项研究是为了来测试海藻的效果。故选B。
【13题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段的“The results were surprisingly good. In some cases, the cows produced 82% less methane. The improvement depended on the kind of food the cows were given. Even the worst-polluting cows produced 33% less methane. Over the five months, the scientists didn’t see any signs that the cows* stomachs were getting used to the seaweed and starting to produce more methane again. What’s more, the cows that were fed seaweed gained just as much weight as the other cows.(结果出乎意料地好。在某些情况下,奶牛产生的甲烷减少了82%。这种改善取决于喂给牛的食物。即使是污染最严重的奶牛产生的甲烷也少了33%。在这五个月里,科学家们没有看到任何迹象表明奶牛的胃开始适应海藻,并开始再次产生更多的甲烷。更重要的是,饲喂海藻的奶牛和其他奶牛增重一样多)”可知,第三段主要讲的是这项研究的结果。故选A。
14题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的“A bigger problem is that for most of their lives, cows live in the fields, where they eat grass. That means there’s no chance to feed them seaweed every day.(更大的问题是,牛大部分时间都生活在田野里,吃草。这意味着它们没有机会每天喂海藻)”可知,研究人员认为最大的挑战是奶牛很难每天吃到海藻。故选D。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段的“Still, it’s very good news that something as simple as feeding cows seaweed can help reduce some of the pollution causing the climate crisis.(尽管如此,正如研究表明的那样,像喂牛海藻这样简单的事情可以帮助减少一些导致气候危机的污染)”可知,作者认为给牛喂海藻可以减少污染,因此作者对这些发现的态度是积极的,故选D。
