B At first,Dorothy Sorlie thought she was just getting old,though not as gracefully as she'd hoped.Retired from teaching English at a local college,Sorlie,then 74,began losing interest in things she'd enjoyed,including reading and cooking.She couldn't concentrate.Her handwriting changed.The symptoms occurred so gradually that initially she wasn't aware anything was happening. Things kept getting worse.She started worrying that she might be developing early dementia ()The physical symptoms progressed too.Most worrisome,she began having trouble walking and started falling.Through it all,her doctors struggled to explain what was happening. She and her husband,Jim Umess,were desperate for answers;it would take years before they got them.The doctors'diagnoses ()all incorrect,could account for one or two of Sorlie's symptoms but not all of them,and none of the treatments seemed to help. The couple traveled across the country looking for someone who could tell them what was wrong.However,one possible explanation for her symptoms after another proved incorrect.At last, Sorlie's primary care doctor,Kevin Wergeland found the disease responsible for all her symptoms was a little-known condition called normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH).Although her condition was detected at an advanced state,it was treatable. 高三英语试题第4页（共10页） In fact,NPH is sometimes referred to as“treatable dementia'”.It is an insidious(潜伏的)】 and mysterious disorder that can copy many more common problems including Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.An estimated 700,000 people in the United States have NPH,although it's believed that fewer than 20 percent of them are correctly diagnosed. Sorlie is now free of NPH symptoms,and taking advantage of her good health and using her dramatic recovery to inform others about NPH.She gives presentations to local senior centers as a volunteer."If this awareness can help one person avoid what my husband and I endured,"Sorlie says,“then my efforts are worth it..” 24.What was Sorlie's physical change after her retirement? A.Her quicker walking steps. B.Her improved handwriting. C.Her declining concentration. D.Her less interest in gardening. 25.What might be the reason for doctors'incorrect diagnoses with NPH? A.It was a rare disease with few cases occurring. B.The doctors were not responsible or professional. C.The symptoms were similar to those of other common diseases. D.The medical conditions in most cities were not advanced enough. 26.Why does Sorlie serve as a volunteer in local senior centers? A.To provide tips on recovery from NPH. B.To raise people's awareness about healthy life. C.To help people with NPH get correct diagnosis. D.To inform senior people of their health condition. 27.Where might the text be taken from? A.A biography. B.A science report. C.A medical record. D.A health magazine. C Bees seem to fly aimlessly as they search for the sugary liquid called nectar ()But their flight plans actually do have a pattern.Flowers act as the insects'air-traffic controllers.And new research shows bees prefer flowers that aren't too flashy(鲜艳的). Flowers give bees clues about how much a plant can offer.Those clues can be in the color of petals(),in the type,in the smell or even in the electrical charge.All of these characteristics send signals to the bees,telling them whether to land or not,among which the colors play the most significant role.The insects keep track of the color of the flowers that are especially rich in nectar. They then visit more flowers of that color. However,color can't guarantee bees a good meal.It may change depending on the angle at which sunlight hits its petals.A yellow flower,for example,may look somewhat blue from one angle and red from another.Beverley Glover studies plants at the University of Cambridge in England.Glover and her colleagues showed that even when the color of petals looks similar,bees 高三英语试题第5页（共I0页） behave differently in searching for nectar.They started to guess that the strength of petals' iridescence（色彩斑斓)might be related to how bees find the petals.. Glover and her colleagues tested their hypothesis in the lab.In their experiment,they found that bees felt confused sometimes when the petals were very iridescent and that bees had no problem finding the flowers with more nectar when the petals were not very iridescent.The team shared its new findings in the March 21 Current Biology. "At first glance,it's very surprising because animals can usually detect a more vivid signal more easily,says Klaus Lunau,a biologist in Germany,who was not involved in the study. 28.What is true about bees? A.They usually fly randomly. B.They fly under the direction of flowers C.They travel without any pattern. D.They are more attracted by flashy flowers. 29.What is the most important clue for bees to search for nectar? A.The petals'type. B.The petals'color. C.The followers'smell. D.The followers'electrical charge. 30.What is the new finding of the team? A.Petals of different colors usually give different signals. B.Vivid petals are detected by bees more easily. C.Less flashy petals are better for bees to make adjustments D.Petals of different types confused bees in finding the right flower. 31.How did Glover and her colleague develop the new finding? A.By conducting a survey among biologists. B.By testing their assumption in the lab. C.By setting a fixed angle for the flowers. D.By comparing samples of different petals. D To appreciate the boldness of Dubai()you could go skiing.You put on a thick coat, pull on your gloves-and then marvel at what strong air-conditioning can do.At the exit,you can buy a souvenir T-shirt.A cartoon thermometer in Celsius announces,"I went from +50 to-8!" Indoor skiing in the desert has become a symbol of Dubai's status as a wealthy,modern metropolis().Originally a small fishing village,Dubai's fortunes changed forever with the discovery of oil in the 1960s.Since then,it has evolved to become the largest city in the United Arab Emirates,with over three million residents,huge shopping malls,and a hundred high-rise towers.But the rapid growth has come at a price.By 2006,Dubai had one of the largest ecological footprints in the world.But now it is making some big changes. To reduce its dependence on cars and lower its emission,Dubai has invested in solar energy, green buildings,and a comprehensive public transportation system.All new buildings must meet strict energy regulations and use solar panels for water heating.Smart lighting and cooling systems 高三英语试题第6页（共10页） must switch off when no people are present in a room."The leadership has recognized that the growth of the economy is not sustainable without taking action on emissions,"says Tanzeed Alam,a climate and energy specialist. The most striking development can be found where the city's suburbs meet the desert.Unlike much of Dubai,the Sustainable City to the south feels more like a close-knit village community. About five hundred low-rise houses are distributed along attractive,tree-lined streets.They all face north,away from direct sunlight,and are close together to provide a natural shade.Each building has reflective windows and wall paint,which reduce the heat absorbed from the sun.Rooftop solar panels and energy-saving lights contribute to the community's energy efficiency.As a result, residents of the Sustainable City now consume 50 percent less energy than people living in other parts of Dubai. Dubai's leaders hope that Sustainable City will become a model for the future.By 2050,the government intends to obtain 75 percent of the city's energy from renewable sources-mainly solar. It also wants to have the smallest ecological footprint in the world.If successful,even skiing in the desert could become an environmentally sustainable reality. 32.What was the problem after Dubai's transformation into a giant city? A.The indoor skiing as a symbol of wealth. B.The population explosion for urban development. C.The crowded city with shopping malls and high-rises. D.The huge emission as a result of rapid development. 33.What is the main idea of paragraph 3? A.The plan for a smart city. B.The blue-print of the future city. C.The measures for lower emission. D.The government's attitude to emission. 34.Which of the following best explains "striking"in paragraph 4? A.Noticeable. B.Isolated. C.Gradual. D.Uniform. 35.Which words can best describe the Dubai government? A.Bold and tough. B.Cautious and hesitant. C.Skeptical and indifferent. D.Determined and devoted. 第二节（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多 余选项。 An employee of a tech company,Laura Mae Martin,sent an email to her co-workers:What if for six weeks straight,you spent one night per week without technology gadgets(小装置)？_36 Then how to make it?Here's a realistic guide to using your tech in a way that serves you. 37 Pay attention to when you have an urge to lift your phone or open social media.When you become aware of it,simply ask yourself,"Do I really need to do this right now?"Asking the question may help you resist the desire to check your device. 高三英语试题第7页（共10页） Schedule tiny tech breaks.38 But if you're trying to spend less time staring at your screens,10-or-15-minute breaks might be a more practical option.You might take a quick walk,or read a book.
