Invention 1:A system to identify Parkiason's disease The system works by measuring a person's breathing patterns during sleep.The researchers noted that early signs of Parkinson's disease are not easy to discover.But the team said the experiments showed that with just one night of sleep,the AI system can correcily identify Parkinson's disease up to 86%of the time. Invention 2:A tool to interpret pig emotions The scientists developed an AI-driven algorithm to identify a series ofemotions the pigs could be experiencing. The study centered on more than 7,000 audio recordings of pigs in different situations.The researchers said the tool can lead to further systems farmers can use to improve the productivity and well-being of their animals. Invention 3:A system to identify and predict smells The scientists built on past research to produce a brain-like technology model to create a"principal odor map" to identify molecules related to smells.The team said such a system can be used across many different fields, including the healthcare,food and fragrance industries.The researchers reported that the system can be used to help fight one of the world's biggest health problems-diseases spread through insects. Invention 4:A tool to fill in missing words in ancient writings The tool,called Ithaca,is designed to help historians repair the writings and identify when and where they were written.The team said that when historians worked on their own,the success rate for repairing damaged inscriptions 高一英语 第2页（共8页） was about 25%.But when humans tcamed up with Ithaca to assist in their work,the success rate jumped to 72%. 21.Which invention can help farmers increase income? A.Invention 1. B.Invention 2. C.Invention 3. D.Invention 4. 22.What do invention I and invention 3 have in common? A They are good for people's health B.They should be used during sleep. O.They can cure pcople of many diseases D.They focus on the research on smells. 23.How does invention 4 help historians? A.By recovering their health. B.By improving their accuracy. C.By identifying their writings. D.By stimulating their cmotions. B It has been known for a long time that obesity tends to run in families,but it was not until about 20 years ago that scientists started to discover that changes in specific genes can have very large impacts on our weight even from early childhood. One of thesc genes,the MC4R,makes a protein that is produced in the brain where it sends signals to our appetite centres,telling them how much fat we have stored.When the MC4R gene does not work properly,our brains think we have lower fat stores than we do,signaling that we are starving and need to eat. A new study,led by scientists from the University of Cambridge and the University of Bristol,has found that around one in every 340 people may carry a disruptive mutation (at MC4R.People who carry these mutations were more likely to have a greater weight from early childhood and,by 18 years of age,they were on average 17kg heavier,with the majority of this excess weight likely to be fat. These results were found by studying the MC4R gene in a random sample of around 6,000 participants born in Bristol.Whenever a mutation was found,the researchers went on to study its frequency and effects in the laboratory. Based on the frequency of mutations in this study,it was estimated that around 200,000 people in the UK carry a substantial amount of unexpected fat because of mutations in MC4R. Prefessor Stephen O'Rahilly,one of the researchers,said,"Parents of obese children are often blamed for poor parenting and not all children obtain appropriate professional help.Our findings should encourage a more sympathetic and reasonable approach to overweight children and their families-including genetic analysis in all seriously obese children." Though the MC4R gene is a striking example,this is only one gene of many that affect our weight."In the iong term,knowledge of the brain pathways controlled by MC4R should help in the design of drugs that help restore people to a heaithy weight,"Stephen added. 24.What can we know about MC4R gene? A.MC4R gene affects people's appetite negatively. B.The mutation of MC4R gene stimulates people's desire to eat. C.MC4R is the only gene that contributes to people's overweight problem. D.Scientists discovered MC4R could influence peoplo's weight recently. 25.What does the underlined word"excess"in Paragraph 3 mean? A.Proper. B.Essential. C.Enough. D.Additional. 26.What can we infer from Professor Stephen's words? A.Parents should be to blame for poor parenting. B.The obesity problem should be treated fairly and scientifically. C.New drugs can help overweight children lose much fat in the long run. 高一英语 第3.页（共8页） D.Knowledge of MC4R should be applied to helping obesc children physically and mentally. 27.What is the passage mainly about? A.Suggestions on how to maintain a standard weight. B.A discussion of British people's overweight problems. C.A study about the effect of MC4R's mutation on weight. D.The relationship between people's appetite and MC4R's mutation. An increase in the efficiency of solar panels may be on the way,as research from the Australian National University (ANU)reduces their current limitations.ANU researchers have found a way to improve the performanoe of silicon photovoltaic(PV)(a硅光伏)or solar cells..This is done through the addition of"passivating(钝化)contacts' between the metal and sitlcon parts of the solar cell,making it more productive. "These findings will help push the performance of silicon solar cells closer to their theoretical limit."Mohamed Ismael,lead ANU researcher and PhD candidate said."Each day,the sun produces significantly more energy than needed to power the whole planet.The only iimitation is our ability to economically convert it to electricity,"he said. Solar cells are devices that convert light energy in the form of photos into electrical energy.As it stands,solar cells aren't operating at their maximum capacity due to considerable electrical losses associated with the direct contact of metals with silicon. “Transition metal oxides such as titanium oxide(二氧化钛)have many qualities that make them ideal as passivating contact layers,"Dr.Lachlan Black said."This isn't a new idea,but the way in which we combined these layers has produced better results and higher operating voltages than anything previously reported." The research teamn is hoping to develop the technology to a point where it can be applied to industrial solar cells on a large scale.The PV market is a multi-billion-dollar industry,with silicon solar cells contributing to 95 percent of all commercial solar cells.They are predicted to remain dominant for the foreseeable future given their advantageous properties compared to competitors. "If successful,we could see our technology in almost all new solar panels installed on your roof or utility-scale solar plants,"Dr Black said."Improving the efficiency of solar ceils guarantees more clean energy at a reduced cost. This not only helps to address climate change,but opens up new economic opportunities for this low-cost clean energy..” 28.What is the function of addition of"passivating contacts"? A.Makmg solar cells long-lasting. B.Improving the lifetime of solar cells. C.Pushing solar cells to the future. D.Promoting the performance of solar cells. 29.What does the underlined word"convert"in Paragraph 2 mean? A.Switch B.Revise. C.Convey. D.Explore. 30.What is Lachlan Black's attitude to the technology? A.Cautious. B.Doubtful C.Hopeful. D.Negative. 31.What does the text mainly talk about? A.New Solar Panels Installed on Ycur Roof B.Shining New Light on Solar Cells'Development C.Applying Industrial Solar Cells on a Large Scale D.Electrical Loss in Metal Direct Contact with Silicon D The idea of growing food in a desert would make most people laugh but this is quickly becoming a reality. There are currently two desert farms in the world where quality vegetables are being planted cheaply and easily. Sundrop Farms,based in South Australia,uses experimental greenhouses to grow tomatoes,peppers and cucumbers.The biggest challenge of growing food in a desert,obviously,is the lack of available water.The reseerchers at Sundrop Farms have gotten around this problem by using the sun to desalinate()sea water.It 高一英语 第4.页（共8页） can also be used to control the temperature of the greenhouses. Without depending on limited resources such as land and fresh water,Sundrop Farms has made farming a practice.This can increase the world's food supplies.Another benefit of this kind of farming is that it can be done anywhere,thus reducing the costs of transporting food to distant locations.Yet another benefit is that it reduces the need for pesticides杀虫剂). Another experimental desert farm is the Sahara Forest Project,which began in Qatar in December 2012. Greenhouses in the farm are cooled by saltwater.Solar power and other technologies are used together to help make vegetation(grow in the desert environment.As deserts have expanded over recent years around the world due to global warming,this project could solve the problem. The results from the Qatar project were better than expected and in June of 2014,Jordan agreed to host another one.This will be much bigger than the Qatar project and the project members will have even more opportunities to test their experiments on a much larger scale.It is not clear yet that desert farming represents the future of farming but these projects have shown some success in the field. 32.Wbat does"this problem"in Paragraph 2 refer to? A.Sea water is hard to purify. B.The desert is short of water. C.The temperature is high in the desert. D.Desert farms aren't fit to plant vegetables. 33.What is one of the characters of desert farming? A.It needs more pesticides. B.It saves delivery costs C.It has a location limit. D.It solves food waste problems 34.What can we know about the Sahara Forest Project? A.It lives up to expectations. B.It can help produce more food. C.It is started to prevent global warming. D.It uses technologies to produce saltwater. 35.What can be inferred about desert farming from the last paragraph? A.It still has problems to solve B.It represents the future of farming. C.Its early success has aroused interest in it D.Its aim is to create more job opportunities. 第二节.七选五（共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅速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顶，选项中有两项为多余选项。 Benefits of Personality Tests Can idertifying onc's personality type using the MBTI and other personality assessments really help?They may.36 Better understand others After taking a personality test and seeing our results,we can gain buter understanding of all the different perceptions and reactions that others might have to the same situation.37.No personality type is"better"than any other.Each perspective brings something new and interesting to the rte. Identify our likes and dislikes Maybe we've always hated talking on the phone but never really understood why.38.By using personality tests like the MBTI,we can leam more about where we lie on the extroversion/introverston and thinking/feeling continuum()This helps us better understand why we prefer certain things and dislike others. 39 Leaming more about our personality type can also help us discover new ways to approach challenges.Knowing what might work best for our personality type can give us new ideas on how to solve problems,deal with stress, cope with conflict,and manage our work habits. Recognize our strengths and weaknesses Knowing what we are good at can be important in a wide variety of situations,whether we are picking a college major or thinking about running for a seat on our local school board.For example,if we know that we are an ISTJ 高一英语 第5.页（共8页） (introverted,sensing,thinking,and judging)on the MBTI,we might recornfre that certain aspects of our personality might qualify as strengths in some situations and weaknesses in others.4,It can sometimes trip us up(...... in situations where we need to let other people take control. A.Hold onto ideas about who we are 4.Know which situations are ideal for us 1.Here's an overview of the many benefits of personality tests D While they reveal truth that showcases different aspects of personality B.While our organizational skills and carefulness can be a major strength in our work F.This is important because we all have different ways of seeing and interacting with the world G.Or perhaps we've always needed much time to think about a problem before making a decision 第三部分语言运用（共三节，满分40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。 Pierre de Coubertin,the father of the modern Olympic Games,once said,"All 41 for all people."Sports were also a big part of Jim's life.Jim was always on the team.And his favorite sport was football.
