The followings are the ones to be in your travelling list.(中国热门电子游戏《黑神话：悟空》最近在中国北部山西省引发了旅游业的激增。在游戏中出现的36个古建筑遗址中，有27个位于山西。以下是你的旅行清单)”可知，这篇文章的目标读者是感兴趣的游客。故选B。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Yungang Grottoes represent the peak of Buddhist cave art from the 5th and 6th centuries.(云冈石窟代表了5、6世纪佛教洞穴艺术的巅峰)”以及第三段“Recognized as an “art museum of Liao and Jin dynasties”, the temple contains ancient art treasures of statues and wall paintings, and plays a vital role in Buddhist culture and Chinese architecture.(被公认为“辽金艺术博物馆”的少林寺，藏有雕像和壁画等古代艺术珍品，在佛教文化和中国建筑中起着至关重要的作用)”可知，云冈石窟和华严寺的共同之处是都有佛教元素的作品。故选C。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Xuankong Temple, standing as a cultural landmark of Datong, is built into a cliff at Hengshan Mountain, about 60 meters above the ground, which attracts numerous thrill lovers from all over the country per year. Constructed during the late Northern Wei Dynasty (386-534), Xuankong Temple is renowned for its daring location.(悬空寺是大同的文化地标，建在距地面约60米的衡山悬崖上，每年吸引着来自全国各地的无数惊险爱好者。悬空寺建于北魏晚期（386-534），以其大胆的地理位置而闻名)”可知，悬空寺的特别之处在于其冒险的位置。故选B。 B Scientists have been studying spiderwebs and have created music from their vibrations (震动) . From communication to construction, spiderwebs may offer a huge amount of information, said Markus Buehler, professor at MIT. MIT shared an excerpt of the music on YouTube. In it, you can hear just how creepy the melody sounds. It, honestly, gives even more darkness to the creatures that live in the corner of the room. But the melody isn’t just here to sound creepy. The researchers say that it will also help them better understand the architecture of the spider’s web. The music made from the spider webs could also help us learn the vibrational language of spiders. Actually, spiders don’t really see that well, despite having multiple eyes. So, they rely on the vibrations of their webs to determine where something is. “Spiders use vibrations as a way to connect with the environment and with other spiders, ” Buehler said. Professor Buehler and his team of researchers created 3D models of spider webs when the spiders were doing different things such as construction, repair, hunting and feeding. They then listened for patterns in the spider signals and recreated the sounds using computers. He hopes his team’s work could enable humans to understand the language of a spider and one day communicate with them. There are more than 47, 000 species of spiders, and all spin silk webs to provide housing and catch food. Scientists say the silk from a spiderweb is five times stronger than steel. A better understanding of how these webs work has been difficult in the past, but the hope is that further study of spider webs will uncover more about these creatures. The living structure of a spiderweb could lead to innovations in construction, and repair, Professor Buehler said. “We can imagine creating a synthetic system based on what the spider does in sensing the web, and repairing the web,” he said. 24. How do viewers feel about the melody posted online? A. Frightened. B. Delighted. C. Relaxed. D. Calm. 25. According to the passage, what is the function of the vibrations of the spider’s web? A. To entertain themselves. B. To attract other spiders. C. To communicate with the surroundings. D. To protect themselves from attack. 26. How do the researchers study the spiderweb? A. By doing a survey. B. By observing closely. C. By setting up a virtual model. D. By comparing data collected. 27. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. The structure of the spider web. B. Spiders’ skills of repairing the spider web. C. The construction process of the spider web. D. The significance of studying spider web structure. 【答案】24. A 25. C 26. C 27. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了科学家们通过研究蜘蛛网的振动来创作音乐，并希望通过这种方式更好地理解蜘蛛网的结构以及蜘蛛的振动语言。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“MIT shared an excerpt of the music on YouTube. In it, you can hear just how creepy the melody sounds. (麻省理工学院在YouTube上分享了这首歌的节选。在其中，你可以听到旋律听起来有多令人毛骨悚然)”可知，观众们觉得网上发布的旋律令人害怕。故选A项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“Spiders use vibrations as a way to connect with the environment and with other spiders,(蜘蛛利用振动来与环境和其他蜘蛛交流)”可知，蜘蛛网的振动的作用是与环境交流。故选C项。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段中“Professor Buehler and his team of researchers created 3D models of spider webs when the spiders were doing different things such as construction, repair, hunting and feeding.(Buehler教授和他的研究团队在蜘蛛进行不同活动(如建造、修复、捕食和喂食)时，创建了蜘蛛网的3D模型)”可知，研究人员通过建立虚拟模型来研究蜘蛛网。故选C项。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段中“The living structure of a spiderweb could lead to innovations in construction, and repair, Professor Buehler said.(Buehler教授说，蜘蛛网的活体结构可以带来建筑和修复方面的创新)”可知，最后一段主要讲的是研究蜘蛛网结构的意义。故选D项。 C Did you know that even if you exercise regularly, you might still be what researchers call an “active couch potato”? Think about this: If you exercise once a day for 30 to 45 minutes, you could still spend 80% to 90% of your waking hours sitting. A study in England showed that while over 55% of adults met the recommended physical activity guide lines, they still sat for about 10 hours a day. Spending too many hours inactive each day, including watching TV (a classic couch potato activity), can increase the risk of fitness and more than 30 other chronic (慢性的) illnesses. Inactivity has also been found to raise chances of heart disease. This imbalance can cancel out many of the positive effects of exercising, such as controlling blood sugar and improving blood flow (流动) to the legs and brain. Just four to six hours of inactivity can cause a drop in an enzyme (酶) that helps the body use fat for energy. Researchers from New Zeal and compared people who sat for 18 hours without exercising with “active couch potatoes” who exercised for 30 minutes between two nine-hour periods of inactivity. They also compared these groups with a third group who did light exercise for just two minutes every half an hour. The sedentary and “active couch potato” groups had higher blood sugar levels, while the light exercise group had better blood sugar control. The results of these studies point to the same conclusion: No matter how active you are, it’s important to be less of a couch potato — or a more active one. So, if your New Year’s resolution is to start a new exercise plan, remember to take breaks to avoid sitting too long by walking for a few minutes throughout the day too. 28. What does the term “active couch potato” suggest about regular exercise? A. Regular exercise should be avoided. B Long regular exercise is unnecessary. C. Regular exercise isn’t always good for health. D. Daily one-time short exercise isn’t enough for good health. 29. What do we know about being inactive for too many hours each day? A. It can reduce chances of heart disease. B. It can quicken blood flow to the legs and brain. C. It can be good for enzyme activity for fat usage. D. It can increase the risk of fitness and chronic illnesses. 30. What do the underlined words “The sedentary” in paragraph 3 mean? A. People who are inactive for a long time. B. People training others to do proper exercise. C. People who like doing exercise during work. D. People doing exercise more than 3 hours a day. 31. What is the text? A. A paper on working too long. B. A personal diary. C. An article on health. D. A news report on chronic illnesses. 【答案】28. D 29. D 30. A 31. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。研究发现，每天一次的短暂运动对健康来说是不够的，每天太长时间不运动会增加健康和慢性疾病的风险，要避免坐得太久，坐久了就起来走几分钟。文章对此进行了介绍。 【28题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段第二句到最后一句“Think about this: If you exercise once a day for 30 to 45 minutes, you could still spend 80% to 90% of your waking hours sitting. A study in England showed that while over 55% of adults met the recommended physical activity guide lines, they still sat for about 10 hours a day.(想想看：如果你每天锻炼一次，每次30到45分钟，那么你醒着的时间里仍有80%到90%是坐着的。英国的一项研究表明，尽管超过55%的成年人达到了建议的身体活动指导标准，但他们每天仍然坐着大约10个小时。)”可知，“活跃的沙发土豆”是指每天一次的短暂运动对健康来说是不够的。故选D。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“Spending too many hours inactive each day, including watching TV (a classic couch potato activity), can increase the risk of fitness and more than 30 other chronic (慢性的) illnesses.(每天花太多时间不活动，包括看电视（一种典型的沙发土豆活动），会增加健康和30多种其他慢性疾病的风险。)”可知，每天太长时间不运动会增加健康和慢性疾病的风险。故选D。 【30题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段前两句“Researchers from New Zeal and compared people who sat for 18 hours without exercising with “active couch potatoes” who exercised for 30 minutes between two nine-hour periods of inactivity. They also compared these groups with a third group who did light exercise for just two minutes every half an hour.(New Zeal公司的研究人员将坐了18个小时不运动的人和在两个9小时不运动的时间段内运动30分钟的“活跃的沙发土豆”进行了比较。他们还将这些组与第三组进行了比较，第三组每半小时只进行两分钟的轻度运动。)”和最后一句中的“while the light exercise group had better blood sugar control(而轻度运动组血糖控制较好)”可知，“The sedentary”是指长时间不动弹的人。故选A。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段最后一句“A study in England showed that while over 55% of adults met the recommended physical activity guide lines, they still sat for about l0 hours a day.(英国的一项研究表明，尽管超过55%的成年人达到了建议的身体活动指导标准，但他们每天仍然会坐大约10个小时。)”和最后一段“The results of these studies point to the same conclusion: No matter how active you are, it’s important to be less of a couch potato — or a more active one. So, if your New Year’s resolution is to start a new exercise plan, remember to take breaks to avoid sitting too long by walking for a few minutes throughout the day too.(这些研究的结果都指向同一个结论：不管你有多活跃，重要的是少做一个“沙发土豆”，或者做一个更活跃的人。所以，如果你的新年决心是开始一个新的锻炼计划，记得休息一下，避免坐得太久，坐久了就起来走几分钟。)”可知，本文是一篇关于健康的文章。故选C。 D With a father who is a chemist and a mother who is a biologist it seemed natural for Kelydra to learn how the world worked by doing science experiments. Kelydra was 15 when the breaking news came that a chemical called C8 in her town’s water supply might cause cancer. Kelydra wondered what she could do to help. Like any good scientist, she started by researching the problem. What exactly was C8? She found out that C8, also known as APFO, is a chemical with a chain of eight carbon atoms. This chemical has shown up not only in drinking water but also in the bodies of people and animals. How much of this chemical was in the water supply? In fact, nobody even knew of an inexpensive, reliable test that could measure the amount of APFO in water. So Kelydra decided to invent one. Kelydra learned that when you shake water contaminated with high amounts of APFO, the water gets foamy (起泡沫的) . The more APFO in the water, the more foam there will be. In this way she could calculate the level of pollutants of the original river water sample. But she wanted to know more than that. So she started working on a way to remove APFO from the water. She finally succeeded by using a device, consisting of a dry cell battery and two electrodes (电极) . Kelydra dipped the electrodes in the water. Then, in a specific process, one of the electrodes became an electrically charged tool that attracted the APFO in the water. Kelydra could then remove the electrode, wash it off, and put it back in the water to draw out more of the chemical. Kelydra then added another ingredient to the water: activated carbon which looks like grains of black sand and is used in water filters. The carbon filtered (过滤) out even more of the APFO. Kelydra repeated the electrosorption and carbon-filtering process until the water was completely free of APFO — and safe to drink. 32. What inspired Kelydra to solve the problem? A. Her extensive knowledge in chemistry. B. Her deep concern for the locals’ health. C. Her great passion for doing experiments. D. Her firm desire to follow her parents’ path. 33. What does the underlined word “contaminated” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Cleaned. B. Polluted. C. Heated. D. Identified. 34. Why did Kelydra add activated carbon to the water? A. To purify the water. B. To remove the foam. C. To filter the carbon. D. To charge the electrodes. 35. Which of the following best describes Kelydra? A. Curious and adventurous. B. Confident and cheerful. C. Conservative and courageous. D. Innovative and committed. 【答案】32. B 33. B 34. A 35. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了15岁女孩Kelydra发明了一种方法，可以去除水中有害化学物质C8。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Kelydra was 15 when the breaking news came that a chemical called C8 in her town’s water supply might cause cancer. Kelydra wondered what she could do to help.(Kelydra 15岁时，一则爆炸性新闻传开：她镇上供水系统中一种叫做C8的化学物质可能会导致癌症。Kelydra想知道她能做些什么来帮忙)”可推测出，Kelydra非常关心当地人的健康，所以才想要解决C8的问题。故选B。 【33题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段中的“a chemical called C8 in her town’s water supply might cause cancer(一种叫做C8的化学物质可能会导致癌症)”和第二段中的“C8, also known as APFO(C8，也被称为APFO)”可知，C8就是APFO，这是一种化学物质，可能会导致癌症，再结合画线词所在句中的“you shake water contaminated with high amounts of APFO”可推测出，这里指的是被大量APFO污染的水，contaminate意为“污染”，与pollute意思一致。故选B。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Kelydra then added another ingredient to the water: activated carbon which looks like grains of black sand and is used in water filters. The carbon filtered (过滤) out even more of the APFO.(Kelydra随后在水中添加了另一种成分：活性炭，它看起来像黑沙粒，用于水过滤器。碳过滤掉了更多的APFO)”可知，活性炭用于水过滤器，它过滤掉了更多的APFO。由此可推测出，Kelydra添加活性炭是为了净化水质。故选A。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“So Kelydra decided to invent one.(所以Kelydra决定发明一个)”并结合下文Kelydra发明了净化水质的方法可知，Kelydra富有创造性。根据第二至最后一段内容可知，Kelydra通过科学研究，了解了C8的情况，并决定发明一种方法来测试水中APFO的数量，然后找方法来去除水中的APFO，由此可推测出，Kelydra是一个做事坚定的人。故选D。 七选五 Whether you’re looking to lose a few pounds, spend more time at the gym or learn a language, turning bad habits into good ones is all about self-control. Some of us have more than others. And research shows that those with more self-control tend to be happier. But the problem is that we usually only get rewarded in the future. ____36____ Michael Inzlicht is a professor of psychology at the University of Toronto and a self-control researcher. He says that the ironic thing about self-control is that those who are really good at it don’t have to practice it. ____37____ When you love and desire something that tends to be better for you, like studying, working hard or exercising, for example, you don’t have to think about doing it. Inzlicht says that these types of individuals generally have what’s called “trait self-control” meaning it’s an aspect of their personality. When it comes to improving self-control, Inzlicht says it’s difficult to change the personality that you’re born with. ____38____ A wide body of research shows that you can improve self-control for a particular behavior you want to change or a habit you’d like to develop. For example, Inzlicht says that when we get paid to make life changes, we’re more likely to make them. Some gyms will charge you a certain amount of money for a year-long membership and then give you a few cents back every time you come. ____39____ ____40____ Part of failing at developing self-control is in getting frustrated at yourself for not changing overnight. If you’re building self-control in losing weight, for instance, don’t try switching to nothing but fruits and vegetables all at once because it’s too dramatic a change — not to mention unsustainable. A. However, this doesn’t mean you can do nothing about it. B. Another tip for success, says Inzlicht, is making gradual steps. C. Even a small amount of money can encourage people to work out. D. They can maintain the good habits all the time without much effort. E. Thus, we are constantly weighing whether to wait or to have it right now. F. Don’t be afraid of frustration, since it is necessary for your improvement. G. Actually, self-control improvement can bring about benefits to all individuals. 【答案】36. E 37. D 38. A 39. C 40. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了自控力强的人往往更快乐，虽然真正擅长自控的人无需刻意练习，而且人们难以改变天生性格，但依然有一些方法可以提升自控力，例如针对特定行为或习惯，用报酬加以激励，以及循序渐进。 【36题详解】 前文“And research shows that those with more self-control tend to be happier. But the problem is that we usually only get rewarded in the future. (研究表明，自控能力强的人往往更快乐。但问题是，我们通常只在未来得到奖励)”指出自控能力强可以带来快乐，但这种快乐在未来才能得到，因此E项“Thus, we are constantly weighing whether to wait or to have it right now. (因此，我们不断地权衡是等待还是现在就拥有它)”符合语境，表明我们会纠结于是自控以得到未来的快乐，还是不自控现在就获得快乐，是前文矛盾的结果，承接前文。故选E。 【37题详解】 前文“He says that the ironic thing about self-control is that those who are really good at it don’t have to practice it. (他说，具有讽刺意味的是，那些真正擅长自我控制的人并不需要练习自我控制)”指出擅长自控的人不需要练习自控，后文“When you love and desire something that tends to be better for you, like studying, working hard or exercising, for example, you don’t have to think about doing it. (当你喜欢并渴望一些对你更好的事情时，比如学习、努力工作或锻炼，你不必考虑去做)”用具体的例子说明这种自控可以自然发生，因此D项“They can maintain the good habits all the time without much effort. (他们可以毫不费力地一直保持好习惯)”符合语境，说明这样的人可以轻松保持好习惯，是对前文的解释，后文是对其例证，选项中的They指代前文的those who are really good at it。故选D。 【38题详解】 前文“When it comes to improving self-control, Inzlicht says it’s difficult to change the personality that you’re born with. (说到提高自我控制能力，Inzlicht说，很难改变你与生俱来的性格)”指出提高自控力很困难，后文“A wide body of research shows that you can improve self-control for a particular behavior you want to change or a habit you’d like to develop. (大量的研究表明，你可以提高你想要改变的特定行为或你想要养成的习惯的自制力)”说明特定行为或习惯的自控力是可以提升的，因此A项“However, this doesn’t mean you can do nothing about it. (然而，这并不意味着你对此无能为力)”符合语境，指出提高自控力也是有办法的，和前文构成转折，引出后文，其中的this指代前一句话。故选A。 【39题详解】 前文“For example, Inzlicht says that when we get paid to make life changes, we’re more likely to make them. Some gyms will charge you a certain amount of money for a year-long membership and then give you a few cents back every time you come. (例如，Inzlicht说，当我们因为改变生活而得到报酬时，我们更有可能做出改变。有些健身房会向你收取一定数额的一年会员费，然后每次你来的时候都会返还你几美分)”指出报酬可以推动人做出改变，并举出健身房返还一小部分费用的例子，因此C项“Even a small amount of money can encourage people to work out. (即使是少量的钱也能鼓励人们去锻炼)”符合语境，说明被返还的费用可以让人坚持锻炼，承接前文。故选C。 【40题详解】 后文“Part of failing at developing self-control is in getting frustrated at yourself for not changing overnight. If you’re building self-control in losing weight, for instance, don’t try switching to nothing but fruits and vegetables all at once because it’s too dramatic a change — not to mention unsustainable. (发展自我控制失败的部分原因是对自己没有在一夜之间改变而感到沮丧。例如，如果你在减肥过程中建立自我控制，不要试图一下子只吃水果和蔬菜，因为这是一个太大的变化——更不用说不可持续了)”指出培养自控不是一蹴而就的事情，并以减肥中饮食的改变为例加以说明，因此B项“Another tip for success, says Inzlicht, is making gradual steps. (Inzlicht说，成功的另一个秘诀是循序渐进)”符合语境，点明培养自控需要循序渐进，契合后文内容，适合作为段落主旨句。故选B。 第二节 (共 10 小题; 每小题 1.5 分, 满分 15 分) 阅读下面短文,在空白处填入 1 个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 When I was young I had a love-hate relationship with my car.

Her mother, a strict woman with high expectations, always required her to focus on her studies. Music was a luxury they couldn’t afford, she’d say. “Emily, you need to stop this daydreaming and concentrate on your math,” her mother would demand, with a serious look on her face. Emily’s heart would sink at her mother’s words. One day, Emily gathered the courage to play a piece she had created for her mother. Her fingers shook as she began, pouring her soul into every note. “Mom, I want you to hear this,” Emily said in a low voice. Her mother, buried in her work, hardly looked up. “Can it wait, dear? I’m quite busy.” Emily’s fingers froze on the keys, her heart aching with her mother’s words. She wanted to shout, to make her mother understand the importance of music in her life, but the words caught in her throat. Instead, she quietly closed the piano lid and returned to her room, her unappreciated song echoing (回响) in her mind. That night, as Emily lay in bed, the silence was deafening, and her tears rolled down. She felt alone, with her dreams being a secret in her heart. The next morning, she awoke to the sound of her mother’s soft knock on the door. 注意：(1)续写词数应为150左右； (2)请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 The door cracked open, and Emily’s mother stood there silently. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Tears of understanding and hope welled up in Emily’s eyes. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 The door cracked open, and Emily’s mother stood there silently. Her face was soft with concern, a rare expression that Emily hadn’t seen in a long time. “Emily, honey, I heard you playing last night,” her mother began, her voice tinged with regret. “I realize now that I haven’t been supportive enough of your passion for music. You’ve always loved it so much, and I see that it means the world to you. I was wrong to dismiss it as a luxury. It’s a part of you, and I should have encouraged it.” Tears of understanding and hope welled up in Emily’s eyes. She felt a weight lift off her chest, a release from the silence and solitude she had been enduring. “Mom, thank you,” she whispered, her voice trembling with emotion. “I didn’t mean to make you feel bad. I just wanted you to understand. Music is my escape, my way of expressing myself when words fail me. I love studying, but without music, I feel incomplete.” Her mother nodded, tears in her own eyes, and embraced Emily tightly. From that day on, Emily’s mother became her biggest supporter, attending every recital and encouraging her to chase her dreams with unwavering belief. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了一个名叫艾米丽的年轻女孩喜欢弹钢琴，但是她的母亲是一个严格的女人，对她期望很高，总是要求她专心学习。她会说，音乐是他们负担不起的奢侈品。一天，艾米丽鼓起勇气弹奏了一首她为母亲创作的曲子，结果母亲却不耐烦，那天晚上，艾米丽躺在床上，寂静震耳欲聋，她的眼泪滚滚而下。第二天，母亲意识到自己忽视了女儿对音乐的热情，向艾米丽道了歉，开始支持女儿的梦想。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“门啪的一声开了，艾米丽的妈妈静静地站在那里”可知，第一段可描写妈妈道歉，表示自己开始理解女儿喜爱音乐。 ②由第二段首句内容“理解和希望的泪水涌上了艾米丽的眼睛”可知，第二段可描写艾米丽感动，诉说自己对音乐的看法。 2.续写线索：妈妈开门——妈妈道歉——意识到女儿对音乐的热情——艾米丽感动——感谢妈妈——母亲支持艾米丽 3词汇激活 行为类 ①拥抱：embrace/hug ②鼓励：encourage/hearten ③意识到：realize/be aware of 情绪类 ①担忧：concern/worry ②孤独：solitude/loneliness 【点睛】[高分句型1] You’ve always loved it so much, and I see that it means the world to you.

B Scientists have been studying spiderwebs and have created music from their vibrations (震动) . From communication to construction, spiderwebs may offer a huge amount of information, said Markus Buehler, professor at MIT. MIT shared an excerpt of the music on YouTube. In it, you can hear just how creepy the melody sounds. It, honestly, gives even more darkness to the creatures that live in the corner of the room. But the melody isn’t just here to sound creepy. The researchers say that it will also help them better understand the architecture of the spider’s web. The music made from the spider webs could also help us learn the vibrational language of spiders. Actually, spiders don’t really see that well, despite having multiple eyes. So, they rely on the vibrations of their webs to determine where something is. “Spiders use vibrations as a way to connect with the environment and with other spiders, ” Buehler said. Professor Buehler and his team of researchers created 3D models of spider webs when the spiders were doing different things such as construction, repair, hunting and feeding. They then listened for patterns in the spider signals and recreated the sounds using computers. He hopes his team’s work could enable humans to understand the language of a spider and one day communicate with them. There are more than 47, 000 species of spiders, and all spin silk webs to provide housing and catch food. Scientists say the silk from a spiderweb is five times stronger than steel. A better understanding of how these webs work has been difficult in the past, but the hope is that further study of spider webs will uncover more about these creatures. The living structure of a spiderweb could lead to innovations in construction, and repair, Professor Buehler said. “We can imagine creating a synthetic system based on what the spider does in sensing the web, and repairing the web,” he said. 24. How do viewers feel about the melody posted online? A. Frightened. B. Delighted. C. Relaxed. D. Calm. 25. According to the passage, what is the function of the vibrations of the spider’s web? A. To entertain themselves. B. To attract other spiders. C. To communicate with the surroundings. D. To protect themselves from attack. 26. How do the researchers study the spiderweb? A. By doing a survey. B. By observing closely. C. By setting up a virtual model. D. By comparing data collected. 27. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. The structure of the spider web. B. Spiders’ skills of repairing the spider web. C. The construction process of the spider web. D. The significance of studying spider web structure. C Did you know that even if you exercise regularly, you might still be what researchers call an “active couch potato”? Think about this: If you exercise once a day for 30 to 45 minutes, you could still spend 80% to 90% of your waking hours sitting. A study in England showed that while over 55% of adults met the recommended physical activity guide lines, they still sat for about 10 hours a day. Spending too many hours inactive each day, including watching TV (a classic couch potato activity), can increase the risk of fitness and more than 30 other chronic (慢性的) illnesses. Inactivity has also been found to raise chances of heart disease. This imbalance can cancel out many of the positive effects of exercising, such as controlling blood sugar and improving blood flow (流动) to the legs and brain. Just four to six hours of inactivity can cause a drop in an enzyme (酶) that helps the body use fat for energy. Researchers from New Zeal and compared people who sat for 18 hours without exercising with “active couch potatoes” who exercised for 30 minutes between two nine-hour periods of inactivity. They also compared these groups with a third group who did light exercise for just two minutes every half an hour. The sedentary and “active couch potato” groups had higher blood sugar levels, while the light exercise group had better blood sugar control. The results of these studies point to the same conclusion: No matter how active you are, it’s important to be less of a couch potato — or a more active one. So, if your New Year’s resolution is to start a new exercise plan, remember to take breaks to avoid sitting too long by walking for a few minutes throughout the day too. 28 What does the term “active couch potato” suggest about regular exercise? A. Regular exercise should be avoided. B Long regular exercise is unnecessary. C. Regular exercise isn’t always good for health. D. Daily one-time short exercise isn’t enough for good health. 29. What do we know about being inactive for too many hours each day? A. It can reduce chances of heart disease. B. It can quicken blood flow to the legs and brain. C. It can be good for enzyme activity for fat usage. D. It can increase the risk of fitness and chronic illnesses. 30. What do the underlined words “The sedentary” in paragraph 3 mean? A. People who are inactive for a long time. B. People training others to do proper exercise. C. People who like doing exercise during work. D. People doing exercise more than 3 hours a day. 31. What is the text? A. A paper on working too long. B. A personal diary. C. An article on health. D. A news report on chronic illnesses. D With a father who is a chemist and a mother who is a biologist it seemed natural for Kelydra to learn how the world worked by doing science experiments. Kelydra was 15 when the breaking news came that a chemical called C8 in her town’s water supply might cause cancer. Kelydra wondered what she could do to help. Like any good scientist, she started by researching the problem. What exactly was C8? She found out that C8, also known as APFO, is a chemical with a chain of eight carbon atoms. This chemical has shown up not only in drinking water but also in the bodies of people and animals. How much of this chemical was in the water supply? In fact, nobody even knew of an inexpensive, reliable test that could measure the amount of APFO in water. So Kelydra decided to invent one. Kelydra learned that when you shake water contaminated with high amounts of APFO, the water gets foamy (起泡沫的) . The more APFO in the water, the more foam there will be. In this way she could calculate the level of pollutants of the original river water sample. But she wanted to know more than that. So she started working on a way to remove APFO from the water. She finally succeeded by using a device, consisting of a dry cell battery and two electrodes (电极) . Kelydra dipped the electrodes in the water. Then, in a specific process, one of the electrodes became an electrically charged tool that attracted the APFO in the water. Kelydra could then remove the electrode, wash it off, and put it back in the water to draw out more of the chemical. Kelydra then added another ingredient to the water: activated carbon which looks like grains of black sand and is used in water filters. The carbon filtered (过滤) out even more of the APFO. Kelydra repeated the electrosorption and carbon-filtering process until the water was completely free of APFO — and safe to drink. 32. What inspired Kelydra to solve the problem? A. Her extensive knowledge in chemistry. B. Her deep concern for the locals’ health. C. Her great passion for doing experiments. D. Her firm desire to follow her parents’ path. 33. What does the underlined word “contaminated” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Cleaned. B. Polluted. C. Heated. D. Identified. 34. Why did Kelydra add activated carbon to the water? A. To purify the water. B. To remove the foam. C. To filter the carbon. D. To charge the electrodes. 35. Which of the following best describes Kelydra? A. Curious and adventurous. B. Confident and cheerful. C. Conservative and courageous. D. Innovative and committed. 七选五 Whether you’re looking to lose a few pounds, spend more time at the gym or learn a language, turning bad habits into good ones is all about self-control. Some of us have more than others. And research shows that those with more self-control tend to be happier. But the problem is that we usually only get rewarded in the future. ____36____ Michael Inzlicht is a professor of psychology at the University of Toronto and a self-control researcher. He says that the ironic thing about self-control is that those who are really good at it don’t have to practice it. ____37____ When you love and desire something that tends to be better for you, like studying, working hard or exercising, for example, you don’t have to think about doing it. Inzlicht says that these types of individuals generally have what’s called “trait self-control” meaning it’s an aspect of their personality. When it comes to improving self-control, Inzlicht says it’s difficult to change the personality that you’re born with. ____38____ A wide body of research shows that you can improve self-control for a particular behavior you want to change or a habit you’d like to develop. For example, Inzlicht says that when we get paid to make life changes, we’re more likely to make them. Some gyms will charge you a certain amount of money for a year-long membership and then give you a few cents back every time you come. ____39____ ____40____ Part of failing at developing self-control is in getting frustrated at yourself for not changing overnight. If you’re building self-control in losing weight, for instance, don’t try switching to nothing but fruits and vegetables all at once because it’s too dramatic a change — not to mention unsustainable. A. However, this doesn’t mean you can do nothing about it. B. Another tip for success, says Inzlicht, is making gradual steps. C. Even a small amount of money can encourage people to work out. D They can maintain the good habits all the time without much effort. E. Thus, we are constantly weighing whether to wait or to have it right now. F. Don’t be afraid of frustration, since it is necessary for your improvement. G. Actually, self-control improvement can bring about benefits to all individuals. 第二节 (共 10 小题; 每小题 1.5 分, 满分 15 分) 阅读下面短文,在空白处填入 1 个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 When I was young I had a love-hate relationship with my car.

Her mother, a strict woman with high expectations, always required her to focus on her studies. Music was a luxury they couldn’t afford, she’d say. “Emily, you need to stop this daydreaming and concentrate on your math,” her mother would demand, with a serious look on her face. Emily’s heart would sink at her mother’s words. One day, Emily gathered the courage to play a piece she had created for her mother. Her fingers shook as she began, pouring her soul into every note. “Mom, I want you to hear this,” Emily said in a low voice. Her mother buried in her work, hardly looked up. “Can it wait, dear? I’m quite busy.” Emily’s fingers froze on the keys, her heart aching with her mother’s words. She wanted to shout, to make her mother understand the importance of music in her life, but the words caught in her throat. Instead, she quietly closed the piano lid and returned to her room, her unappreciated song echoing (回响) in her mind. That night, as Emily lay in bed, the silence was deafening, and her tears rolled down. She felt alone, with her dreams being a secret in her heart. The next morning, she awoke to the sound of her mother’s soft knock on the door. 注意：(1)续写词数应为150左右； (2)请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 The door cracked open, and Emily’s mother stood there silently. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Tears of understanding and hope welled up in Emily’s eyes. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$null
