A team of students in the Netherlands has designed and built a solid car that’s completely powered by the sun. The car, called Stella Terra, is the first solar-powered car that can travel off-road for long distances without needing a recharging station.
Students at Eindhoven University of Technology have been working on solar-powered cars for years. But last year, 30 students, known as Solar Team Eindhoven, took a year off to work on developing an off-road solar-powered car.
To bring a highly efficient(有效的)solar-powered car closer to reality, the team designed the entire car, from top to bottom. The car generated energy using the absorbed solar power from the solar panels(板)on top, which are 97% efficient. Most solar panels, by contrast, are only about 20% efficient, meaning a waste of about 80% of the sunlight they get. Weighing just 2,600 pounds, the car has a top speed of 90 miles per hour and can run for 440 miles on a sunny day. On the bottom, they designed a system to handle the heavy shaking that comes when driving over uneven surfaces.
The landscape of the Netherlands limits the testing options available to the team, so they took the car on its biggest test drive across Morocco, where the car had to weather through forests and dry riverbeds, across loose desert sand and up challenging mountain paths. The car succeeded in doing all of this and all without ever stopping at a charging station.
“It was an incredible trip with a positive ending. We’ re pushing the boundaries of technology,” says Wisse Bos, the team manager. The team take pride in their car, but they won’t be upset if car companies start to copy their ideas. In fact, they hope Stella Terra will inspire car companies to work on similar projects. But despite their success, the students think it’ll take 5 to 10 years before car companies are able to build a similar car.
4. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. An Adventurous Trip
B. The Future of Electric Cars
C. Stella Terra: the First Eco-friendly Vehicle
D. Students Create Lasting ‘Solar-Powered Car
5. . What’s the purpose of mentioning the data in paragraph’3?
A. To highlight the development of cars.
B. To explain the car’s complex structure.
C. To clarify problems with other solar panels:
D. To demonstrate the car’s good performance:
6. Why was Morocco chosen to do the major car testing?
A. It’s a thinly populated place.
B. It enjoys a pleasant climate.
C. Its landforms meet test requirements.
D. It has convenient transportation.
7. How did Wisse Bos sound about their car?
A. Disturbed. B. Shocked. C. Excited. D. Awkward.

People flood into cities for understandable reasons: more job opportunities, more cultural diversity and larger communities. Yet living in a concrete-walled, green-poor, urban environment takes away from our-very essence our fundamental need to be close to nature. We can’t quite break the link with our evolutionary (进化的) past and part ways with our origins. Surrounding ourselves with walls and ‘screens, we tend to pay a price, often with our health and quality of life.
In Japan, a populous country with vast expanses of green forests, an ancient tradition, known as shinrin-yoku, or forest bathing, tries to balance out the pressure from urban living. It’s the practice of spending prolonged periods of time with trees to gain from their many health benefits. In a book hitting shelves this month, Forest Bathing: How Trees Can Help You Find Health and Happiness, Dr. Qing Li, the world’s foremost expert in forest medicine, introduces readers to the valuable practice of forest bathing. The book features more than 100 color photographs of forests around the world. One may reject this kind of book as yet less convincing, but the point is that Li has not just practiced forest bathing, but has also studied its impact on people’s health through numerous scientific studies. He has data to support his claims, collected in a long list of expert-reviewed articles at the end of the book.
The book lists studies that consistently show-a substantial, reduction of stress hormones (应激激素). Essential tree oils found in forest air increase energy levels by more than 30 percent and improve a general state of well-being, including improvement in sleep.
Scientific results apart, the, concept of forest bathing shouldn’t be so surprising. Who hasn’t felt an inner sense of well-being when walking along a quiet forest path? Stepping into a forest, away from the artificial sounds and smells of urban life, does feel like pushing a life reset button, reestablishing a connection with our deepest needs.
To celebrate this wonderful book and. what seems to be a rediscovery of forest bathing in our life, I’m going to go now—to take: my forest bath.
8. What is stressed in paragraph 1?
A. The harm of electronics.
B. The downside of city life.
C. The consequences of lack of workout.
D. The reasons for pursuit of urban living.
9. What’s the book aimed at?
A. Promoting a lifestyle.
B. Presenting research results.
C. Stating the significance of walks.
D. Appealing for forest conservation.
10. Which of the following can best describe Dr. Li’s book?
A. One-sided. B. Sharply worded.
C. Evidence-based. D. Widely recognized.
11. How is the benefit of forest bathing further proved in paragraph 4?

When you have to cancel your Thanksgiving plans due to the spread of the COVID-19, you may find yourself craving companionship as much as that pumpkin pie. That’s because parts of the brain respond to loneliness much like they react to hunger, according to a study in Nature Neuroscience.
Researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology scanned the brains of 40 healthy, social young adults after 10 hours of either fasting (禁食) or social isolation (隔离). They found that after being alone, participants’ neurological responses to social signals were similar to hungry people reacting to food — that is, certain areas of the brain linked to desire were turned on to start working.
For an isolated person, a picture of people laughing together caused the same areas of the brain to light up as when a hungry person looked at a big plate of pasta.
“Just like hunger is an unpleasant sensation that motivates us to seek out food and thirst motivates us to seek out water, loneliness is a biological need that motivates us to reconnect to others,” Holt-Lunstad told Insider.
Researchers were surprised to find that people who were prevented from socializing became much more focused on that need, and less reactive to hunger. As their loneliness increased, they became less responsive to images of food.
These latest findings suggest that the relationship between food and loneliness might be more complicated than we thought, despite the popular opinion of stress-eating to cope with social isolation. More research is needed to understand the complex ways people deal with loneliness.
Studies like this can help scientists understand how the brain processes loneliness, and possibly reduce the negative consequences. However, although loneliness may be similar to hunger, fixing it isn’t as easy as serving someone a hearty dinner because people are unique and they need varying levels of social interactions to meet their needs.
12. The underlined word “craving” in the first paragraph can be replaced by .
A. avoiding B. desiring C. preferring D. ignoring
13. Researchers scanned the brains of the young adults .
A. to find their brain responses to both loneliness and hunger
B. to provide explanations for their feeling lonely and hungry
C. to find how loneliness can have a negative impact on health
D. after they have been hungry and socially isolated for 10 hours
14. What conclusion can be drawn from what Holt-Lunstad said in Paragraph 4?
A. Hunger is an unpleasant sensation.
B. Hunger and thirst motivate us to feed ourselves.
C. Socializing is supposed to be basic human need as it is.
D. The effects of loneliness on health are comparable to other factors.
15. What does the last paragraph imply?
A. Loneliness may be fixed just as hunger is satisfied.
B. Situations of loneliness are complicated and hard to cope with.
C. Scientists have understood how the brain processes loneliness.
D. Loneliness is such a common and serious problem that we all have to suffer.
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。根据《自然神经科学》的一项研究,这是因为大脑的某些部分对孤独的反应就像对饥饿的反应一样。文章解释了研究开展的经过以及这样的研究可以帮助科学家了解大脑是如何处理孤独的,并可能减少消极后果。
【12题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“When you have to cancel your Thanksgiving plans due to the spread of the COVID-19, you may find yourself”以及后文“That’s because parts of the brain respond to loneliness much like they react to hunger, according to a study in Nature Neuroscience. (根据《自然神经科学》的一项研究,这是因为大脑的某些部分对孤独的反应就像对饥饿的反应一样。)”可知,大脑的某些部分对孤独的反应就像对饥饿的反应一样,即说明当你因为COVID-19的传播而不得不取消感恩节计划时,你可能会发现自己对友谊的渴望和南瓜派一样强烈。故划线词意思是“渴望”。故选B。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“They found that after being alone, participants’ neurological responses to social signals were similar to hungry people reacting to food — that is, certain areas of the brain linked to desire were turned on to start working. (他们发现,在独处之后,参与者对社交信号的神经反应与饥饿的人对食物的反应相似——也就是说,大脑中与欲望相关的某些区域被激活,开始工作。)”可知,研究人员扫描了这些年轻人的大脑是为了发现他们的大脑对孤独和饥饿的反应。故选A。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段““Just like hunger is an unpleasant sensation that motivates us to seek out food and thirst motivates us to seek out water, loneliness is a biological need that motivates us to reconnect to others,” Holt-Lunstad told Insider. (“就像饥饿是一种不愉快的感觉,促使我们去寻找食物,口渴促使我们去寻找水一样,孤独是一种生理需求,促使我们与他人重新建立联系,”Holt-Lunstad告诉内幕网。)”可推知,交际本来就应该是人类的基本需求。故选C。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Studies like this can help scientists understand how the brain processes loneliness, and possibly reduce the negative consequences. However, although loneliness may be similar to hunger, fixing it isn’t as easy as serving someone a hearty dinner because people are unique and they need varying levels of social interactions to meet their needs. (这样的研究可以帮助科学家了解大脑是如何处理孤独的,并可能减少消极后果。然而,尽管孤独可能类似于饥饿,但解决它并不像为某人提供丰盛的晚餐那么容易,因为每个人都是独一无二的,他们需要不同程度的社会互动来满足他们的需求。)”可推知,最后一段暗示了孤独的情况很复杂,很难处理。故选B。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了胶东花饽饽这种食品。
【46题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:“胶东花饽饽”展览在烟台文化中心举行,迎接即将到来的春节。空格处用非谓语形式作定语,修饰后面的名词短语Spring Festival,二者是主动形式,所以用现在分词approaching作定语。故填approaching。
【47题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:饽饽由小麦制成,可以呈现各种形式的动物和人物,装饰着红枣和五颜六色的花朵。分析句子结构可知,这里考查非谓语,decorate与逻辑主语bobo构成被动关系,故用过去分词作状语。故填decorated。
【48题详解】
考查时态语态。句意:很难知道胶东花饽饽是什么时候第一次出现的。这里考查谓语动词,主语 Jiaodong flower bobo与appear构成主动关系,且这里时态应用一般过去时表过去情况。故填appeared。
【49题详解】
句意:它在威海、烟台和青岛等农村地区仍然很受欢迎,人们在春节、婚礼和生日等特殊场合蒸饽饽,因为“steam”在中文里读作“蒸”,预示着生活的财运会上升。此空作动词的宾语,应用名词popularity,不可数。故填popularity。
【50题详解】
考查时态语态。句意:它在威海、烟台和青岛等农村地区仍然很受欢迎,人们在春节、婚礼和生日等特殊场合蒸饽饽,因为“steam”在中文里读作“蒸”,预示着生活的财运会上升。这里考查谓语动词,主语与谓语构成被动关系,且陈述事实用一般现在时的被动语态,主语为word,谓语用单数。故填is pronounced。
【51题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:此次展览旨在展示胶东花饽饽技艺的保护,2009年,胶东花饽饽技艺被列入山东省非物质文化遗产名录。空格处引导非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词Jiaodong flower bobo,关系词在从句作主语,指物,应用关系代词which。故填which。
【52题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:这些传承人还应邀介绍了胶东花饽饽的制作工艺。短语be invited to do sth.表示“应邀做某事”为常见搭配。故填to introduce。
【53题详解】
考查冠词。句意:栖霞的贾玉萍是其中之一,她说,能够保护和推广这一遗产是一种荣誉,她对它的未来持乐观态度。此处为句型It be an honor to do sth.表示“做某事是一种荣誉”,honor是可数名词单数,前面不定冠词,且honor为元音音素开头的单词。故填an。
【54题详解】
考查形容词。句意:栖霞的贾玉萍是其中之一,她说,能够保护和推广这一遗产是一种荣誉,她对它的未来持乐观态度。此空作表语,应用形容词optimistic。故填optimistic。
【55题详解】
考查介词。句意:一位组织者表示:“我们希望通过展览向市民介绍庆祝中国农历新年的民间习俗。”这里考查introduce to表示“把……介绍给”,为固定搭配。故填to。

“Where is it? We’re going to be late!” Janice searched the house crazily for her wallet. “Josh! Did you hide my wallet? We have to be at Grandpa’s for his birthday party!” Josh, Janice’s four-year-old younger brother, smiled innocently at her, but his cunning (狡黠的) eyes gave himself away. She tried her best not to shout. Grinning (咧嘴笑) like a cat, Josh reached under the sofa, pulled out her wallet and held it over his head. Janice grabbed it.
Ten minutes later, they hurried to the train station. Red-faced and sweating, Janice let go of Josh’s wrist and removed the sweat from her forehead. The train arrived. Her smile froze when she realized that the train was packed with passengers. Grabbing Josh’s hand, Janice boarded the train. She commanded, “The train’s really crowded, Josh. Behave yourself, stick close to me, and no monkey business!” Josh nodded, holding tightly to a rail. Janice smiled.
When it was time to get off the train, Janice quickly pushed her way through the crowd to get onto the platform. “We made it!” Janice said, turning around. Josh was nowhere to be seen. The crowd was flooding out, but Josh was not among them. “The train doors are closing,” then came the electronic voice. Soon, the crowd on the platform died down. The last thing Janice saw was Josh’s little anxious face at the train window: Just as Janice was about to call out Josh’s name, the train disappeared from view. “Josh!” Janice screamed.
Janice’s mind was transported back to when she was lost at the zoo. She could still vividly remember the towering figures surrounding her and none of them were’ familiar. “I don’t want Josh to go through that same bitter experience,” Janice let out a sigh.
Janice took out her mobile phone, ready to call her mother. However, midway, she decided against it. Her mother, who was far away in France on business, could do nothing but get restless. Janice paced up and down the platform anxiously.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150个左右;

【答案】One possible version:
Just then, Janice received a call from an unknown number. “Hello? Janice? I’m at Paya Station! I’m calling from a kind lady’s phone!” Josh cried out in his panicked voice. “Take it easy, Josh. I’m coming,” Janice comforted him. Soon Janice caught the next train. On getting off at Paya Station, she saw Josh dashing towards her, his face soaked with tears. Janice wrapped him into a tight hug, whispering, “Thank goodness! I’ve found you at last!” Taking Josh’s hand, Janice approached the kind lady passenger, who had been accompanying Josh and had missed her own train. Janice expressed her sincere appreciation repeatedly.
Having waved goodbye to the lady, they headed for their destination. After about an hour’s bus ride, they made it to their Grandpa’s house, where they threw a grand birthday party for Grandpa, singing and dancing cheerfully. Having had a delicious meal and a happy chat, they parted with Grandpa and started their trip back home. This time, Janice held Josh’s hand all the way and they boarded the returning train. “Thankfully you don’t have to be put through that terrible experience,” Janice smiled at Josh, assuring her brother, “Never will I leave you alone.” For them, this unforgettable trip would stick in their memories.

A team of students in the Netherlands has designed and built a solid car that’s completely powered by the sun. The car, called Stella Terra, is the first solar-powered car that can travel off-road for long distances without needing a recharging station.
Students at Eindhoven University of Technology have been working on solar-powered cars for years. But last year, 30 students, known as Solar Team Eindhoven, took a year off to work on developing an off-road solar-powered car.
To bring a highly efficient(有效的)solar-powered car closer to reality, the team designed the entire car, from top to bottom. The car generated energy using the absorbed solar power from the solar panels(板)on top, which are 97% efficient. Most solar panels, by contrast, are only about 20% efficient, meaning a waste of about 80% of the sunlight they get. Weighing just 2,600 pounds, the car has a top speed of 90 miles per hour and can run for 440 miles on a sunny day. On the bottom, they designed a system to handle the heavy shaking that comes when driving over uneven surfaces.
The landscape of the Netherlands limits the testing options available to the team, so they took the car on its biggest test drive across Morocco, where the car had to weather through forests and dry riverbeds, across loose desert sand and up challenging mountain paths. The car succeeded in doing all of this and all without ever stopping at a charging station.
“It was an incredible trip with a positive ending. We’ re pushing the boundaries of technology,” says Wisse Bos, the team manager. The team take pride in their car, but they won’t be upset if car companies start to copy their ideas. In fact, they hope Stella Terra will inspire car companies to work on similar projects. But despite their success, the students think it’ll take 5 to 10 years before car companies are able to build a similar car.

People flood into cities for understandable reasons: more job opportunities, more cultural diversity and larger communities. Yet living in a concrete-walled, green-poor, urban environment takes away from our-very essence our fundamental need to be close to nature. We can’t quite break the link with our evolutionary (进化的) past and part ways with our origins. Surrounding ourselves with walls and ‘screens, we tend to pay a price, often with our health and quality of life.
In Japan, a populous country with vast expanses of green forests, an ancient tradition, known as shinrin-yoku, or forest bathing, tries to balance out the pressure from urban living. It’s the practice of spending prolonged periods of time with trees to gain from their many health benefits. In a book hitting shelves this month, Forest Bathing: How Trees Can Help You Find Health and Happiness, Dr. Qing Li, the world’s foremost expert in forest medicine, introduces readers to the valuable practice of forest bathing. The book features more than 100 color photographs of forests around the world. One may reject this kind of book as yet less convincing, but the point is that Li has not just practiced forest bathing, but has also studied its impact on people’s health through numerous scientific studies. He has data to support his claims, collected in a long list of expert-reviewed articles at the end of the book.
The book lists studies that consistently show-a substantial, reduction of stress hormones (应激激素). Essential tree oils found in forest air increase energy levels by more than 30 percent and improve a general state of well-being, including improvement in sleep.
Scientific results apart, the, concept of forest bathing shouldn’t be so surprising. Who hasn’t felt an inner sense of well-being when walking along a quiet forest path? Stepping into a forest, away from the artificial sounds and smells of urban life, does feel like pushing a life reset button, reestablishing a connection with our deepest needs.
To celebrate this wonderful book and. what seems to be a rediscovery of forest bathing in our life, I’m going to go now—to take: my forest bath.

When you have to cancel your Thanksgiving plans due to the spread of the COVID-19, you may find yourself craving companionship as much as that pumpkin pie. That’s because parts of the brain respond to loneliness much like they react to hunger, according to a study in Nature Neuroscience.
Researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology scanned the brains of 40 healthy, social young adults after 10 hours of either fasting (禁食) or social isolation (隔离). They found that after being alone, participants’ neurological responses to social signals were similar to hungry people reacting to food — that is, certain areas of the brain linked to desire were turned on to start working.
For an isolated person, a picture of people laughing together caused the same areas of the brain to light up as when a hungry person looked at a big plate of pasta.
“Just like hunger is an unpleasant sensation that motivates us to seek out food and thirst motivates us to seek out water, loneliness is a biological need that motivates us to reconnect to others,” Holt-Lunstad told Insider.
Researchers were surprised to find that people who were prevented from socializing became much more focused on that need, and less reactive to hunger. As their loneliness increased, they became less responsive to images of food.
These latest findings suggest that the relationship between food and loneliness might be more complicated than we thought, despite the popular opinion of stress-eating to cope with social isolation. More research is needed to understand the complex ways people deal with loneliness.
Studies like this can help scientists understand how the brain processes loneliness, and possibly reduce the negative consequences. However, although loneliness may be similar to hunger, fixing it isn’t as easy as serving someone a hearty dinner because people are unique and they need varying levels of social interactions to meet their needs.
12. The underlined word “craving” in the first paragraph can be replaced by .
A. avoiding B. desiring C. preferring D. ignoring
13. Researchers scanned the brains of the young adults .
A to find their brain responses to both loneliness and hunger
B. to provide explanations for their feeling lonely and hungry
C. to find how loneliness can have a negative impact on health
D. after they have been hungry and socially isolated for 10 hours
14. What conclusion can be drawn from what Holt-Lunstad said in Paragraph 4?
A. Hunger is an unpleasant sensation.
B. Hunger and thirst motivate us to feed ourselves.
C. Socializing is supposed to be basic human need as it is.
D. The effects of loneliness on health are comparable to other factors.
15. What does the last paragraph imply?
A. Loneliness may be fixed just as hunger is satisfied.
B. Situations of loneliness are complicated and hard to cope with.
C. Scientists have understood how the brain processes loneliness.
D. Loneliness is such a common and serious problem that we all have to suffer.

“Where is it? We’re going to be late!” Janice searched the house crazily for her wallet. “Josh! Did you hide my wallet? We have to be at Grandpa’s for his birthday party!” Josh, Janice’s four-year-old younger brother, smiled innocently at her, but his cunning (狡黠的) eyes gave himself away. She tried her best not to shout. Grinning (咧嘴笑) like a cat, Josh reached under the sofa, pulled out her wallet and held it over his head. Janice grabbed it.
Ten minutes later, they hurried to the train station. Red-faced and sweating, Janice let go of Josh’s wrist and removed the sweat from her forehead. The train arrived. Her smile froze when she realized that the train was packed with passengers. Grabbing Josh’s hand, Janice boarded the train. She commanded, “The train’s really crowded, Josh. Behave yourself, stick close to me, and no monkey business!” Josh nodded, holding tightly to a rail. Janice smiled.
When it was time to get off the train, Janice quickly pushed her way through the crowd to get onto the platform. “We made it!” Janice said, turning around. Josh was nowhere to be seen. The crowd was flooding out, but Josh was not among them. “The train doors are closing,” then came the electronic voice. Soon, the crowd on the platform died down. The last thing Janice saw was Josh’s little anxious face at the train window: Just as Janice was about to call out Josh’s name, the train disappeared from view. “Josh!” Janice screamed.
Janice’s mind was transported back to when she was lost at the zoo. She could still vividly remember the towering figures surrounding her and none of them were’ familiar. “I don’t want Josh to go through that same bitter experience,” Janice let out a sigh.
Janice took out her mobile phone, ready to call her mother. However, midway, she decided against it. Her mother, who was far away in France on business, could do nothing but get restless. Janice paced up and down the platform anxiously.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150个左右;
