It remains constant until 60. 18. What was the age range of the people included in the study? A. From 10 to 60. B. From 20 to 80. C. From 10 to 80. 19. Why do older people make decisions more slowly according to Dr. Von Krause? A. They need more time to get information. B. They decide on things with caution. C. They process information slower. 20. What benefit can people get from the study? A. It may help increase the mental processing speed. B. It may improve people’s ability to concentrate. C. It may contribute to the research on diseases. 【答案】17. A 18. C 19. B 20. C 【解析】 【原文】M: Scientists in Germany have cast doubt on a previously believed assumption that the processing speed of our brain starts to decline from the age of 20. Until now, it has been thought that our level of understanding peaks when we are 20 and declines thereafter. Lead researcher doctor Mischa Von Krause, of Heidelberg University, offered hope to older people who worry about increasing forgetfulness or reduced brainpower. He said mental abilities were still powerful at the age of 60 and do not decrease before then. The study was based on data from over 1.1 million people, aged between 10 and 80 years old. The results showed that our mental processing speed remains relatively constant until the age of 60, but does start to decline from our seventh decade. The researchers said people’s mental processing speed actually increases in their 20s and remains high until 60. Dr. Von Krause said until older adulthood, the speed of information processing in the task they studied hardly changed. He added that older people do take longer to make decisions, but said this was because we become more cautious and responsible as we age. The study could cast light on diseases such as Alzheimer’s. 第二部分 阅读理解(共两节，满分50分) 第一节 (共15小题;每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Your Next Destination: Norway Norway, a land of natural beauty and cultural heritage, awaits you.

Nonetheless, my father was determined to teach me his art. I cast again and again until I could drop that fly into the little floating target ring at almost any given distance. But what’s the point? It’s normal that a 12-year-old’s ideas conflict with his father’s, and so it was with me and mine. We fought over homework and privileges and even math. But despite all of this, he still reached out to me to try to teach me something he had grown to love. So one weekend we made a drive to the Little Truckee River. We marched from the dirt road down to the river. As the sound of traffic drifted away, I dreaded that waiting for me were a long walk and an unending conversation about responsibility and expectations. But I was astonished to find my father turned aside, walked upstream, and began to cast for fish. I went my own way downstream. I wasn’t aware that I wasn’t thinking about some usual concerns: school or sports, that I hadn’t caught any fish, or that I’d wandered far from my father. Alone, I had cut ties with all of my worries. I didn’t have to be listening to loud music, my parents — I didn’t have to be listening to anyone. My father finally caught up to me. As we walked back to the truck, a conversation between my father and me lasted all the way back. Not a word was said about my attitude, my grades, or his skill as a father. Fly-fishing saved my relationship with my father. Back home, we fell into our old routines. But we had made contact. We had found common ground, and we could strive to find our way back to it. 24. What did the author initially make of his casting a rod repeatedly? A. Inspiring. B. Striking. C. Meaningless. D. Desirable. 25. What did the author fear according to paragraph 3? A. His dad would give him a life lesson. B. His dad would keep silent all the way. C. His dad would leave him fishing alone. D. His dad would insist on him casting the rod. 26. What can be learned about the author from paragraph 4? A. He was concerned about his learning temporarily. B. He decided not to accept others’ advice easily. C. He found it a pity not to catch any big fish. D. He forgot the troubles in his life then. 27. How did fishing influence the author and his dad? A. They avoided interacting with each other. B. They held shared outlooks regarding life. C. They perfected their arts of casting the rod. D. They misunderstood each other more deeply. 【答案】24. C 25. A 26. D 27. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了处在青春期的作者和父亲经常针对生活和学习上的事情发生争执。一次和父亲去钓鱼后，作者和父亲建立了联系，缓解了和父亲紧张的关系的故事。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“I cast again and again until I could drop that fly into the little floating target ring at almost any given distance. But what’s the point?( 我一次又一次地投掷，直到我能把那只假蝇扔进几乎任何给定距离的浮动目标圈。但这有什么意义呢？)”可推知，作者最初认为反复抛鱼竿这一行为是没有意义的。故选C项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“As the sound of traffic drifted away, I dreaded that waiting for me were a long walk and an unending conversation about responsibility and expectations. But I was astonished to find my father turned aside, walked upstream, and began to cast for fish.( 随着车辆的声音渐渐远去，我担心等待我的是一段漫长的路程，以及一场关于责任和期望的没完没了的谈话。但令我吃惊的是，父亲转过身，向上游走去，开始垂钓。)”可知，根据第三段可知，作者担心父亲又会对自己进行一场关于责任和期望的没完没了的谈话，即担心父亲会给他上一堂人生课。故选A选。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“I wasn’t aware that I wasn’t thinking about some usual concerns: school or sports, that I hadn’t caught any fish, or that I’ d wandered far from my father. Alone, I had cut ties with all of my worries. I didn’t have to be listening to loud music, my parents—I didn’t have to be listening to anyone.(我没有意识到我没有在想一些平常的事情：学校或运动，我没有钓到鱼，或者我离开父亲走得很远。独自一人，我切断了与所有烦恼的联系。我不需要听嘈杂的音乐，我的父母——我不需要听任何人说话。)”可推知，从第四段可以了解到作者那时忘记了生活中的烦恼。故选D项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Fly-fishing saved my relationship with my father. Back home, we fell into our old routines. But we had made contact. We had found common ground, and we could strive to find our way back to it.(用假蝇钓鱼救了我和我父亲的关系。回到家，我们又恢复了以前的生活习惯。但我们已经联系上了。我们已经找到了共同点，我们可以努力找到回归的道路。)”可推知，通过钓鱼作者和父亲有了联系和共同的立场，他们对生活有着共同的看法。故选B项。 C Science fiction stories have imagined future people living in underground cities or in space stations far from the sun. But if humans are ever to survive in those tough environments, they will need ways to grow food using limited resources—and photosynthesis (光合作用)might be nowhere near satisfactory. Now, some scientists are wondering if it’s possible to produce food more efficiently by skipping it and growing plants in the dark. A team of researchers has taken a first step toward realizing it. The research shows it is possible to grow algae, edible yeast(食用酵母), and mushroom-producing fungi in the dark by supplying them with a carbon-based chemical not originating from plants but instead manufactured using solar electricity. This method replaced biological photosynthesis with a partly artificial process for turning sunlight into food. Their process is a version of artificial photosynthesis, a term around for years including various approaches to transforming sunlight, water, and CO2 into liquid fuels and other chemicals. The researchers say their work represents the first time an artificial photosynthesis system has been paired with an attempt to grow common food-producing organisms. The scientists are hopeful that this method could unlock new ways to produce food using less physical space and energy than traditional agriculture, including crops growing in the dark. While other experts are skeptical that it will ever be possible to redesign plant biology so thoroughly, they are excited by the technology the researchers have invented and the team’s out-of-the-box idea about how to make food production more efficient. It is worth keeping an open mind about how to redesign a fundamental biological process like photosynthesis applied in space or on Earth. The payoff may be something we haven’t imagined yet. 28. Why do scientists consider growing food in the dark according to paragraph 1? A. To control the growth conditions in the dark effortlessly. B. To cultivate food with limited resources in harsh conditions. C. To prove to the public that traditional agriculture is ineffective. D. To test the assumption in contemporary science-fiction literature. 29. Which of the following best describes “artificial photosynthesis”? A. It is a newly innovated technical term in recent days. B. It is a remarkable breakthrough in space exploration. C. It possibly makes for ways of novel food production. D. It makes use of sunlight, water, and CO2 inefficiently. 30. What does the underlined word “out-of-the-box” mean in paragraph 4? A. Absolutely ridiculous. B. Instantly functional. C. Extremely mysterious. D. Incredibly innovative. 31. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A. Growing Food Crops in the Dark B. Creating Artificial Photosynthesis C. Producing Fungi in Mushrooms D. Turning Sunlight into Food 【答案】28. B 29. C 30. D 31. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，文章主要讲的是如何借助光合作用在黑暗中种植粮食作物。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“But if humans are ever to survive in those tough environments, they will need ways to grow food using limited resources—and photosynthesis (光合作用)might be nowhere near satisfactory.(但是，如果人类想要在这些恶劣的环境中生存下去，他们将需要用有限的资源来种植食物——而光合作用可能远不能令人满意。)”可知科学家们考虑在黑暗中生产食物的目的是为了在恶劣的条件下利用有限的资源种植食物。故选B项。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“The scientists are hopeful that this method could unlock new ways to produce food using less physical space and energy than traditional agriculture, including crops growing in the dark.(科学家们希望，这种方法可以开辟新的途径，以比传统农业更少的物理空间和能源生产食物，包括在黑暗中种植作物。)”可知科学家们希望，这种方法可以开辟新的种植作物的途径，由此可知人工光合作用可能会创造出新的食物生产方式。故选C项。 【30题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第四段划线词之前“they are excited by the technology the researchers have invented and the team’s(他们对研究人员发明的技术感到兴奋和这支团队的)”以及之后“idea about how to make food production more efficient.(关于如何提高粮食生产效率的想法。)”可知其他专家对研究人员发明的技术以及该团队提高粮食生产效率的想法感到兴奋，说明这个想法是很新的，很有想象力的，因此划线词与D项Incredibly innovative. (令人难以置信地创新)意思相近。故选D项。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。文章第一段“Now, some scientists are wondering if it’s possible to produce food more efficiently by skipping it and growing plants in the dark.(现在，一些科学家想知道是否有可能通过跳过它，在黑暗中种植植物来更有效地生产食物。)”提出话题——在黑暗中种植植物来更有效地生产食物，文章二、三段集中对这种新型方法进行解释说明并指出其意义，第四段指出一些专家的不同态度，最后一段对全文进行概括，指出对于如何在太空或地球上重新设计像光合作用这样的基本生物过程我们应保持开放的心态。纵观全文，文章都是在围绕着在黑暗中种植粮食作物的话题来展开，所以A 项Growing Food Crops in the Dark(在黑暗中种植粮食作物)作为文章标题最合适。故选A项。 D A 9-year-old girl is seated quietly on the sofa in my office. I ask whether she’s ever thought about what she’d like to do upon reaching adulthood. Without hesitation, she shouts, “I want to run a start-up.” She doesn’t even know what a start-up is, but she does know her growth path — in exact detail, going to Stanford University and serving time as a trainee in Google — to becoming wildly successful in running one. My young patient’s parents are all likely to encourage this way of thinking, but they are only making her future chances of being successful less likely. In this country, part of the culture is centered on a narrow concept of what success looks like. Money is overvalued while character undervalued. Too many of us are worried about how our kids will compete globally. We passionately believe that staying “on track” beats wandering around. However, reality suggests otherwise. And holding this concept of success as a straight line can set kids up for unrealistic expectations and disappointment. Parents are misguided to assume that what worked for them will be right for their kids, too. Encouraging children to proceed along a straight path makes them cautious and competitive, but what they are most likely to need are curiosity, a willingness to take risks, and a talent for collaboration. The meaning of success is open to multiple interpretations. Financial independence is one way to measure success, and raising a healthy family and contributing to one’s community is another, to name just a couple. One of the patterns that I see regularly among successful people is real passion about the work they do: the kind of passion that makes them work harder than others, welcome mistakes as learning opportunities, and feel that what they do has impact. While money may be inherited, real success always has to be earned. Evidence shows our kids would one day benefit from all of the aggressive preparation, coaching, and tutoring. A winding and unexpected path is what leads to success. 32. What can we learn about some parents from paragraph 2? A. They mislead their children into following in their footsteps. B. They are not sure how to prepare their children for the future. C. They overestimate the fierce competition in the near future. D. They try to impact their children’s understanding of success. 33. Which of the following characteristics is best for children according to the author? A. Adventurousness. B. Calmness. C. Competitiveness. D. Cautiousness. 34. How does the author develop paragraph 3? A. By clarifying the facts. B. By citing some examples. C. By applying a new theory. D. By quoting accurate data. 35. What message does the author seem to convey in the text? A. High expectations may result in disappointment. B. All the children are bound to succeed ultimately. C. Children needn’t follow a straight path to success. D. A good character could boost personal development. 【答案】32. D 33. A 34. B 35. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲的是当下一些家长把成功的概念看作一条直线，错误地认为对他们有效的方法也适用于他们的孩子，而这会让孩子产生不切实际的期望和失望，在作者看来曲折和意想不到的道路才是通向成功的道路。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“We passionately believe that staying “on track” beats wandering around. However, reality suggests otherwise. And holding this concept of success as a straight line can set kids up for unrealistic expectations and disappointment. Parents are misguided to assume that what worked for them will be right for their kids, too.(我们热切地相信，保持“正轨”胜过四处游荡。然而，现实并非如此。把成功的概念看作一条直线会让孩子产生不切实际的期望和失望。父母们被误导，认为对他们有效的方法也适用于他们的孩子)”可知，一些家长错误地认为对他们有效的方法也适用于他们的孩子，他们把成功的概念看作一条直线，而这会让孩子产生不切实际的期望和失望。由此可知，一些家长试图影响孩子们对于成功的认知。故选D项。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Encouraging children to proceed along a straight path makes them cautious and competitive, but what they are most likely to need are curiosity, a willingness to take risks, and a talent for collaboration.(鼓励孩子们沿着一条笔直的道路前进，会让他们变得谨慎和有竞争力，但他们最需要的是好奇心、冒险的意愿和合作的才能)”可知，在作者看来孩子最需要的是好奇心、冒险的意愿和合作的才能。故选A项。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“The meaning of success is open to multiple interpretations. Financial independence is one way to measure success, and raising a healthy family and contributing to one’s community is another, to name just a couple.(成功的意义有多种解释。经济独立是衡量成功的一种方式，养育一个健康的家庭和为社区做出贡献是另一种方式，仅举几例)”可知，作者在解释成功的意义时列举了经济独立、养育一个健康的家庭和为社区做出贡献这三种方式。由此推知，第三段是通过举例来展开的。故选B项。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Evidence shows our kids would one day benefit from all of the aggressive preparation, coaching, and tutoring. A winding and unexpected path is what leads to success.(有证据表明，我们的孩子总有一天会从积极的准备、指导和辅导中受益。曲折和意想不到的道路是通向成功的道路)”可知，作者看来曲折和意想不到的道路才是通向成功的道路。由此推知，作者似乎在文章中传达了这样一种信息——孩子们不必沿着一条笔直的道路走向成功。故选C项。 第二节 (共5小题;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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 “It’s a human’s world.” This saying is commonplace. This line has dominated the popular opinion of past centuries. Over time we have realized this is not just a human’s world. ____36____ Animals deserve to live a safe and healthy life as much as mankind does. Sadly, this does not have universal acceptance. So, we also need to care about how to conserve animals. ____37____ Taking in an animal is one of the sweetest ways of preserving animals. Accepting animals especially those with disabilities or illness as your own is a very noble way of protecting animals. Animals depend on natural sources of water to satisfy their thirst. Nevertheless, we have polluted our rivers so much that animals are getting sick after drinking from there. ____38____ Hence, keeping our rivers and water sources pure will help solve this problem.

Accepting animals especially those with disabilities or illness as your own is a very noble way of protecting animals.(领养动物是保护动物最贴心的方式之一。接受动物，尤其是那些有残疾或疾病的动物作为自己的宠物，是一种非常高尚的保护动物的方式)”可知，本段是在说领养动物的事，与A项“Adopt a pet from an animal rescue shelter.(从动物救助站领养一只宠物)”表达的意思一致，故选A项。 【38题详解】 根据上文“Nevertheless, we have polluted our rivers so much that animals are getting sick after drinking from there.(然而，我们对河流的污染如此严重，以至于动物喝了那里的水后会生病)”可知，动物喝了被污染的水后会生病甚至死亡，与B项“Many even get killed as a consequence of it.(许多动物甚至因此而死亡)”表达的含义一致，故选B项。 【39题详解】 根据上文“We all know by now how important it is to save trees. But we also need to focus on planting native species.(我们现在都知道拯救树木是多么重要。但我们也需要关注种植本地树种)”以及下文“When the ecosystem is functioning properly, endangered animals are also taken care of.(当生态系统正常运转时，濒危动物也会得到照顾)”可知，树木等植物对生态系统有积极作用，从而影响到动物，F项“They actively help maintain the ecosystem as it is.(它们积极地帮助维持现有生态系统)”中They指代上文提及的树木等植物，F项承接上文，并引出下文，符合题意，故选F项。 【40题详解】 根据上文“Animals are a vital part of our ecosystem. We humans have the understanding and resources to know how to protect animals. With our evolved minds, we should be taking care of them as parents take care of their kids.(动物是我们生态系统的重要组成部分。我们人类有知识和资源知道如何保护动物。凭借我们进化的头脑，我们应该像父母照顾孩子一样照顾它们)”可知，本段是在呼吁人类参与到动物保护中来，与E项“Let’s become participants in animal conservation.(让我们成为动物保护的参与者)”表达的含义一致，故选E项。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节 (共15个小题，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。 Bringing smiles to desperately ill children may be the best skill to cheer them up.

Students prepared for months, practicing acts, ranging from singing and dancing to magic tricks and comedy. This year, the show promised to be the best, and excitement overwhelmed everyone — except for Zoe and Mia. Zoe was known for her incredible singing voice, while Mia was the director of the school drama club. They had been best friends since kindergarten, but this year, underlying tension existed beneath the surface. Zoe wanted to perform a solo for the show, but Mia believed that the drama club should showcase their group play instead. Their conflict increased as they tried to gather support from their classmates. On the day of the try-out for the talent show, posters advertising the event appeared around the school, but the next morning, they mysteriously went missing. Teachers and students were confused, but rumors were spreading like wildfire that someone deliberately damaged the event to make things easier for their preferred act. Zoe thought Mia might be behind it, convinced that her friend wanted to weaken her opportunities. Meanwhile, Mia suspected Zoe was trying to steal the spotlight. Things reached a boiling point where both girls confronted each other in the cafeteria. “You think I would do something so mean? I’m just trying to make our play shine!” Zoe exclaimed, her frustration evident. “I’m trying to pursue my dream of performing! Why can’t you just support me?” Mia shot back, her voice filled with emotion. Their argument attracted the attention of their friends, and soon everyone was whispering. Their friendship had always been based on support and understanding, but their competition had clouded that bond. 注意： (1)续写词数应为 150个左右; (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Just as they were about to continue their argument, their music teacher, Mr. Daniels, approached them. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The day of the performance finally arrived. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Just as they were about to continue their argument, their music teacher, Mr. Daniels, approached them. He noticed the tense atmosphere and immediately understood what was happening. “This is not what friends should do. True friendship lies in understanding and tolerance.” The two girls were stunned into silence. “Why not combine your talents instead?” Mr. Daniels reminded them of how they had always supported each other in the past. They both looked at each other, the anger fading away. With a newfound determination, they decided to put aside their differences and focus on making the talent show a success. The girls spent the next week rehearsing together, blending their ideas and supporting one another the way best friends should. The day of the performance finally arrived. On the night of the talent show, they not only performed an engaging scene that led into Zoe’s stunning song but also found their friendship strengthened. Their act received thunderous applause, and they beamed with pride, both in their performance and in the restored bond between them. After the show, they promised to always communicate and support each other, whatever their individual ambitions. In the end, they had not only entertained their classmates but learned the value of friendship and collaboration. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了At Greenfield Middle School的学生们都在积极地为选秀之夜做准备，每个人都很兴奋，除了以令人难以置信的歌声而闻名的Zoe和学校戏剧俱乐部的主任mia，他们从幼儿园起就是最好的朋友，但今年，因为zoe想在节目中独唱，但mia认为戏剧社应该展示他们的集体表演，所以二人的关系非常紧张。当他们试图获得同学们的支持时，他们的冲突加剧了。在选拔才艺表演的那天，学校里的一些海报神秘地失踪了，二人的冲突达到了顶峰，音乐老师丹尼尔的出现让二人及时醒悟并决定团结合作。最终选秀之夜在二人的合作下获得了圆满的成功，而二人也意识到友谊和合作的重要性。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“就在他们准备继续争论的时候，他们的音乐老师丹尼尔斯先生走了过来。”可知，第一段可描写音乐老师丹尼尔的提醒、二人的醒悟、以及二人的合作与互相支持。 ②由第二段首句内容“演出的日子终于到了。”可知，第二段可描写在选秀之夜表演的成功、观众的反应以及他们的收获。 2.续写线索：丹尼尔老师的提醒——二人的醒悟——决定合作——选秀之夜的表演——表演成功——观众反应——收获 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①逐渐消失：fade away/graduate away ②决定：decide/determine ③集中于，专注于：focus on/concentrate on 情感类 ①极吸引人的：stunning/attractive ②紧张的：tense/intense/stressful 【点睛】【高分句型1】 They both looked at each other, the anger fading away.

B The concrete practice of casting a fishing rod is truly difficult. Nonetheless, my father was determined to teach me his art. I cast again and again until I could drop that fly into the little floating target ring at almost any given distance. But what’s the point? It’s normal that a 12-year-old’s ideas conflict with his father’s, and so it was with me and mine. We fought over homework and privileges and even math. But despite all of this, he still reached out to me to try to teach me something he had grown to love. So one weekend we made a drive to the Little Truckee River. We marched from the dirt road down to the river. As the sound of traffic drifted away, I dreaded that waiting for me were a long walk and an unending conversation about responsibility and expectations. But I was astonished to find my father turned aside, walked upstream, and began to cast for fish. I went my own way downstream. I wasn’t aware that I wasn’t thinking about some usual concerns: school or sports, that I hadn’t caught any fish, or that I’d wandered far from my father. Alone, I had cut ties with all of my worries. I didn’t have to be listening to loud music, my parents — I didn’t have to be listening to anyone. My father finally caught up to me. As we walked back to the truck, a conversation between my father and me lasted all the way back. Not a word was said about my attitude, my grades, or his skill as a father. Fly-fishing saved my relationship with my father. Back home, we fell into our old routines. But we had made contact. We had found common ground, and we could strive to find our way back to it. 24. What did the author initially make of his casting a rod repeatedly? A. Inspiring. B. Striking. C. Meaningless. D. Desirable. 25. What did the author fear according to paragraph 3? A. His dad would give him a life lesson. B. His dad would keep silent all the way. C. His dad would leave him fishing alone. D. His dad would insist on him casting the rod. 26. What can be learned about the author from paragraph 4? A. He was concerned about his learning temporarily. B. He decided not to accept others’ advice easily. C. He found it a pity not to catch any big fish. D. He forgot the troubles in his life then. 27. How did fishing influence the author and his dad? A. They avoided interacting with each other. B. They held shared outlooks regarding life. C. They perfected their arts of casting the rod. D. They misunderstood each other more deeply. C Science fiction stories have imagined future people living in underground cities or in space stations far from the sun. But if humans are ever to survive in those tough environments, they will need ways to grow food using limited resources—and photosynthesis (光合作用)might be nowhere near satisfactory. Now, some scientists are wondering if it’s possible to produce food more efficiently by skipping it and growing plants in the dark. A team of researchers has taken a first step toward realizing it. The research shows it is possible to grow algae, edible yeast(食用酵母), and mushroom-producing fungi in the dark by supplying them with a carbon-based chemical not originating from plants but instead manufactured using solar electricity. This method replaced biological photosynthesis with a partly artificial process for turning sunlight into food. Their process is a version of artificial photosynthesis, a term around for years including various approaches to transforming sunlight, water, and CO2 into liquid fuels and other chemicals. The researchers say their work represents the first time an artificial photosynthesis system has been paired with an attempt to grow common food-producing organisms. The scientists are hopeful that this method could unlock new ways to produce food using less physical space and energy than traditional agriculture, including crops growing in the dark. While other experts are skeptical that it will ever be possible to redesign plant biology so thoroughly, they are excited by the technology the researchers have invented and the team’s out-of-the-box idea about how to make food production more efficient. It is worth keeping an open mind about how to redesign a fundamental biological process like photosynthesis applied in space or on Earth. The payoff may be something we haven’t imagined yet. 28. Why do scientists consider growing food in the dark according to paragraph 1? A. To control the growth conditions in the dark effortlessly. B. To cultivate food with limited resources in harsh conditions. C. To prove to the public that traditional agriculture is ineffective. D. To test the assumption in contemporary science-fiction literature. 29. Which of the following best describes “artificial photosynthesis”? A. It is a newly innovated technical term in recent days. B. It is a remarkable breakthrough in space exploration. C. It possibly makes for ways of novel food production. D. It makes use of sunlight, water, and CO2 inefficiently. 30. What does the underlined word “out-of-the-box” mean in paragraph 4? A. Absolutely ridiculous. B. Instantly functional. C. Extremely mysterious. D. Incredibly innovative. 31. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A. Growing Food Crops in the Dark B. Creating Artificial Photosynthesis C. Producing Fungi in Mushrooms D. Turning Sunlight into Food D A 9-year-old girl is seated quietly on the sofa in my office. I ask whether she’s ever thought about what she’d like to do upon reaching adulthood. Without hesitation, she shouts, “I want to run a start-up.” She doesn’t even know what a start-up is, but she does know her growth path — in exact detail, going to Stanford University and serving time as a trainee in Google — to becoming wildly successful in running one. My young patient’s parents are all likely to encourage this way of thinking, but they are only making her future chances of being successful less likely. In this country, part of the culture is centered on a narrow concept of what success looks like. Money is overvalued while character undervalued. Too many of us are worried about how our kids will compete globally. We passionately believe that staying “on track” beats wandering around. However, reality suggests otherwise. And holding this concept of success as a straight line can set kids up for unrealistic expectations and disappointment. Parents are misguided to assume that what worked for them will be right for their kids, too. Encouraging children to proceed along a straight path makes them cautious and competitive, but what they are most likely to need are curiosity, a willingness to take risks, and a talent for collaboration. The meaning of success is open to multiple interpretations. Financial independence is one way to measure success, and raising a healthy family and contributing to one’s community is another, to name just a couple. One of the patterns that I see regularly among successful people is real passion about the work they do: the kind of passion that makes them work harder than others, welcome mistakes as learning opportunities, and feel that what they do has impact. While money may be inherited, real success always has to be earned. Evidence shows our kids would one day benefit from all of the aggressive preparation, coaching, and tutoring. A winding and unexpected path is what leads to success. 32. What can we learn about some parents from paragraph 2? A. They mislead their children into following in their footsteps. B. They are not sure how to prepare their children for the future. C. They overestimate the fierce competition in the near future. D. They try to impact their children’s understanding of success. 33 Which of the following characteristics is best for children according to the author? A. Adventurousness. B. Calmness. C. Competitiveness. D. Cautiousness. 34. How does the author develop paragraph 3? A. By clarifying the facts. B. By citing some examples. C. By applying a new theory. D. By quoting accurate data. 35. What message does the author seem to convey in the text? A. High expectations may result in disappointment. B. All the children are bound to succeed ultimately. C. Children needn’t follow a straight path to success. D. A good character could boost personal development. 第二节 (共5小题;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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 “It’s a human’s world.” This saying is commonplace.

Students prepared for months, practicing acts, ranging from singing and dancing to magic tricks and comedy. This year, the show promised to be the best, and excitement overwhelmed everyone — except for Zoe and Mia. Zoe was known for her incredible singing voice, while Mia was the director of the school drama club. They had been best friends since kindergarten, but this year, underlying tension existed beneath the surface. Zoe wanted to perform a solo for the show, but Mia believed that the drama club should showcase their group play instead. Their conflict increased as they tried to gather support from their classmates. On the day of the try-out for the talent show, posters advertising the event appeared around the school, but the next morning, they mysteriously went missing. Teachers and students were confused, but rumors were spreading like wildfire that someone deliberately damaged the event to make things easier for their preferred act. Zoe thought Mia might be behind it, convinced that her friend wanted to weaken her opportunities. Meanwhile, Mia suspected Zoe was trying to steal the spotlight. Things reached a boiling point where both girls confronted each other in the cafeteria. “You think I would do something so mean? I’m just trying to make our play shine!” Zoe exclaimed, her frustration evident. “I’m trying to pursue my dream of performing! Why can’t you just support me?” Mia shot back, her voice filled with emotion. Their argument attracted the attention of their friends, and soon everyone was whispering. Their friendship had always been based on support and understanding, but their competition had clouded that bond. 注意： (1)续写词数应为 150个左右; (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Just as they were about to continue their argument, their music teacher, Mr. Daniels, approached them. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The day of the performance finally arrived. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $这是高三英语模拟试题听力部分，该部分分为第一第二两节。注意回答听力部分时，请先将答案标在试卷上。听力部分结束前，你将有两分钟的时间将你的答案转涂到客观题答题卡上。现在是听力试音时间。Hello, international friends club, can I help you?

IT has been thought that our level of understanding peaks when we are twenty and declined thereafter. Lead researcher doctor measure phone crowds of hyderabad university offered hope to older people who worry about increasing forgetfulness or reduced brain power. He said mental abilities were still powerful at the age of sixty and do not decrease before then. The study was based on data from over one point one million people aged between ten and eighty years old. The results showed that our mental processing speed remained relatively constant until the age of sixty, but does start to decline from our seventh decade, the researchers said. People's mental processing speed actually increases in their twenties and remains high until sixty, doctor phone crawler said. Until older adult hood, the speed of information processing in the task they studied hardly changed. He added that older people do take longer to make decisions, but said this was because we become more cautious and responsible as we age. The study could cast light on diseases such . as alzheimer.
