Father’s Day, a boxy bright red boat, was designed and made by Hugo Vihlen. It had no room for unnecessary things and only very limited room for him.
Vihlen once made an 84-day crossing of the Atlantic Ocean in 1968. It was then the smallest boat to have made the journey. The sailing boat April Fool was 5 feet and 11 inches long. But Tom McNally broke the world record in 1993 by crossing the Atlantic in a boat that was 5 feet and 4.5 inches long.
In order to regain the world record, Hugo set out alone later that same year to cross the Atlantic from Newfoundland to Falmouth. This time he was in Father’s Day, his home-built boat, which was half an inch shorter than McNally’s.
During his crossing, Hugo had to sleep on his back with his knees bent. He woke every hour to check his heading direction and general sailing conditions. After facing everything the Atlantic Ocean could throw at him, and some close encounters with large ships, Hugo finally arrived in Falmouth 105 days later. He could hardly walk and had lost 34 pounds in weight, but he had regained his record.
His reception on arrival in Falmouth was hardly a hero’s welcome. One of the waiting journalists found him a pizza to eat while his boat was taken to a local sailing boat club. When they arrived at the sailing club for a celebration tea, they found the club dosed. He felt a pity for that. But luckily, a member of the public brought a bottle of champagne to toast his success.
4. Why did Hugo Vihlen cross the Atlantic in his boat in 1993?
A. To test his newly built boat. B. To make Father’s Day famous.
C. To draw public attention to sailing. D. To break Tom McNally’s world record.

Singapore researchers say they have developed a form of electronic skin that can create a sense of touch. They hope their invention will give people with prosthetic hands (假肢手) the ability to identify different objects.
The skin device measures 1 square centimeter. The system contains 100 small sensors that attempt to recreate things like texture (质地), temperature and even pain. The researchers call the device Asynchronous Coded Electronic Skin, or ACES, which can process information faster than humans' nervous system. Machine learning methods trained the device to recognize 20 to 30 different textures. It can even correctly read Braille letters most of the time, the researchers say.
The system does not require the users' movement to work. Humans need to slide to feel texture. But in this case the skin, with just a single touch, is able to detect textures of different roughness.
A demonstration showed that the device could identify the difference between a soft ball and a solid plastic one. “When you lose your sense of touch, you essentially become numb and prosthetic users face that problem,” said Benjamin Tee, leader of the research team. “So by recreating an artificial version of the skin, for their prosthetic devices, they can hold a hand and feel the warmth and feel that it is soft.”
Tee said his idea for the device came from the movie Star Wars, when character Luke Skywalker loses his right hand and it is replaced with a robotic one. In the film, the new hand is able to experience touch sensations just like the real one.
The artificial skin technology is still going through experiments and development. But Tee said there had already been a lot of interest in the system, especially from the medical community. Tee said similar inventions that his team has developed include see-through skin that can repair itself when torn and a material for wearable electronic devices that gives off light.
8. Which of the following can best describe ACES?
A. Tiny and smart. B. Simple and fashionable.
C. Rough and ready. D. See-through and short-lived.
9. What do Benjamin Tee's words mean?
A. The artificial skin feels warm when touched.
B. The prosthetic devices should be made softer.
C. The device can recreate the feeling of real touch.
D. The sense of touch is often overlooked by people.
10. What inspired Benjamin Tee to develop ACES?
A. The financial needs. B. A scene of a famous movie.
C. The interest in Braille letters. D. A desire to help those in need.
11. What does Benjamin Tee think of the artificial skin technology?
A. Mature B. Unreliable C. Promising D. Debatable
D
Rhesus monkeys have a sense of their beating hearts, according to the new research we conducted. Some previous research has shown that rhesus monkeys could be trained to increase and decrease their heart rates. But an open question has been whether monkeys have an unlearned ability to sense their bodily signals rather than being taught to do so.
Both human babies and monkeys spend more time looking at things that are unexpected or novel than they do looking at things they expect or are used to seeing We used a task that relies on this behavior — originally developed to test whether human babies can sense their own heartbeats — to see if monkeys also have this ability.
We first got our monkeys to sit in chairs in front of a computer screen and linked them to electrocardiograms (心电图) to monitor their heartbeats. Then we played videos of either a yellow or green cloud bouncing (弹跳) up and down accompanied by beeping sounds. Sometimes the bouncing and beeping were synched (同步) to match the monkey’s heartbeat, while at other times they were out of sync. If the monkeys had a sense of their own heartbeats, they would find the in-sync bouncing less interesting than the out-of-sync bouncing, and therefore would spend more time looking at the out-of-sync image.
We tested four monkeys and, just like human babies, they looked at the shapes that bounced and sounded out of sync with their heartbeats for significantly longer than the in-sync shapes. Additionally, the extent to which our monkeys paid more attention to out-of-sync shapes than in-sync shapes was very akin to the difference in human babies. These findings strongly suggest that monkeys have an inborn sense of their own heartbeats, just like human babies can do exactly.
Our work shows that monkeys and humans have a comparable sense of their own heartbeats and establishes a method for testing this ability across species. In humans, this skill is thought to be central to emotional experiences, self-awareness, memory, etc. Sensing one’s own physiological states abnormally is related to disorders such as anxiety and depression. This work has a positive effect on establishing rhesus monkeys as an animal model for human psychological disorder research.
12. What is the question unsettled by previous research?
A. How to teach monkeys to share their feelings.
B. How to train monkeys to sense bodily signals.
C. Whether monkeys can change their heart rates.
D. Whether monkeys can sense heartbeats by nature.
13. What fact is the new research based on?
A. Monkeys are curious about new things.
B Monkeys tend to learn novel things fast.
C. Monkeys have strong observation abilities.
D. Monkeys are interested in bouncing up and down.
14. What does the underlined word “akin” in paragraph 4 possibly mean?
A. Acceptable. B. Important. C. Strange. D. Similar.
15. What is the significance of the new research?
A. It proves monkeys’ similar emotional experiences to humans’.
B. It helps confirm a model for further mental disease research.
C. It helps provide an approach for animals to sense their heartbeats.
D. It establishes a method for improving monkeys’ psychological features.

21 years after graduating from college, I became a high school English teacher. During my first term as an educator, the kids taught me about high school and life, and what was important to them. It had been 25 years since I graduated from high school, so I had a lot to learn. I listened, took notes, and asked many questions.
My students had more hardship (艰难) than what I had been familiar with at their age. Understanding their situations was not easy, but loving them came easily.
When my second term began, my classroom welcomed a group of new students, including one young man who lit up the space every time he passed through the door. David stood tall at six feet and four inches. His strong body gave him the appearance of a grown man. His wide smile and bright eyes charmed every person in the classroom.
He was smart, too. David seemed to know the answers to everything. For weeks, he controlled the atmosphere of my class. He was very active. He led group discussions, encouraged others to participate, and earned the highest grades. I was so impressed by him and his abilities that I didn’t ask many questions. I didn’t really take time to get to know him as I had to be with my first-term students.
A few weeks passed, and we entered the month of February. David walked quietly into the classroom. His usual smile disappeared, and he looked cold. I asked if he was okay, but he didn’t respond. I encouraged him to participate, but he refused. He was just silent and emotionless. I was puzzled, embarrassed, upset and also angry about his behavior in class.
Finally, I called another student to my office. I had noticed him often walking in the hallways with David. “Do you know what’s wrong with David?” I asked. He replied, “Oh, Mrs Green, his mom’s birthday is coming, but she was just found to have cancer.”
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;

【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“But Tom McNally broke the world record in 1993 by crossing the Atlantic in a boat that was 5 feet and 4.5 inches long.(但是Tom McNally在1993年打破了这项世界纪录,他驾驶一艘长5英尺4.5英寸的船横渡大西洋)”以及第三段中“In order to regain the world record, Hugo set out alone later that same year to cross the Atlantic from Newfoundland to Falmouth.(为了重新获得这项世界纪录,Hugo在同一年晚些时候独自出发,从纽芬兰横渡大西洋到法尔茅斯)”可知,Hugo Vihlen在1993年乘船横渡大西洋是为了打破Tom McNally的世界纪录。故选D。

He could hardly walk and had lost 34 pounds in weight, but he had regained his record.(横渡时,Hugo只好弯着膝盖平躺着睡觉。他每小时醒来一次,检查航向和总体航行情况。在面对了大西洋可能抛给他的一切,以及几次与大型船只的近距离接触后,Hugo终于在105天后抵达法尔茅斯。他几乎无法行走,体重下降了34磅,但他又再次获得纪录)”可知,Hugo Vihlen穿越大西洋非常困难和不舒服。故选B。

But luckily, a member of the public brought a bottle of champagne to toast his success.(他在抵达法尔茅斯时受到的接待很难说是英雄般的欢迎。一位等待的记者给他找了一份比萨饼吃,而他的船则被带到了当地的一个帆船俱乐部。当他们到达帆船俱乐部喝庆祝茶时,发现俱乐部里的人都喝醉了。他为此感到很可惜。但幸运的是,一位市民带来了一瓶香槟酒,为他的成功庆祝)”可知,Hugo Vihlen到达法尔茅斯时,接待最后变成了一个简单的庆祝活动。故选B。

D
Rhesus monkeys have a sense of their beating hearts, according to the new research we conducted. Some previous research has shown that rhesus monkeys could be trained to increase and decrease their heart rates. But an open question has been whether monkeys have an unlearned ability to sense their bodily signals rather than being taught to do so.
Both human babies and monkeys spend more time looking at things that are unexpected or novel than they do looking at things they expect or are used to seeing. We used a task that relies on this behavior — originally developed to test whether human babies can sense their own heartbeats — to see if monkeys also have this ability.
We first got our monkeys to sit in chairs in front of a computer screen and linked them to electrocardiograms (心电图) to monitor their heartbeats. Then we played videos of either a yellow or green cloud bouncing (弹跳) up and down accompanied by beeping sounds. Sometimes the bouncing and beeping were synched (同步) to match the monkey’s heartbeat, while at other times they were out of sync. If the monkeys had a sense of their own heartbeats, they would find the in-sync bouncing less interesting than the out-of-sync bouncing, and therefore would spend more time looking at the out-of-sync image.
We tested four monkeys and, just like human babies, they looked at the shapes that bounced and sounded out of sync with their heartbeats for significantly longer than the in-sync shapes. Additionally, the extent to which our monkeys paid more attention to out-of-sync shapes than in-sync shapes was very akin to the difference in human babies. These findings strongly suggest that monkeys have an inborn sense of their own heartbeats, just like human babies can do exactly.
Our work shows that monkeys and humans have a comparable sense of their own heartbeats and establishes a method for testing this ability across species. In humans, this skill is thought to be central to emotional experiences, self-awareness, memory, etc. Sensing one’s own physiological states abnormally is related to disorders such as anxiety and depression. This work has a positive effect on establishing rhesus monkeys as an animal model for human psychological disorder research.
12. What is the question unsettled by previous research?
A. How to teach monkeys to share their feelings.
B. How to train monkeys to sense bodily signals.
C. Whether monkeys can change their heart rates.
D. Whether monkeys can sense heartbeats by nature.
13. What fact is the new research based on?
A. Monkeys are curious about new things.
B. Monkeys tend to learn novel things fast.
C. Monkeys have strong observation abilities.
D. Monkeys are interested in bouncing up and down.
14. What does the underlined word “akin” in paragraph 4 possibly mean?
A. Acceptable. B. Important. C. Strange. D. Similar.
15 What is the significance of the new research?
A. It proves monkeys’ similar emotional experiences to humans’.
B. It helps confirm a model for further mental disease research.
C. It helps provide an approach for animals to sense their heartbeats.
D. It establishes a method for improving monkeys’ psychological features.
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. D 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是通过实验研究发现恒河猴具有天生感知自己心跳的能力,类似于人类婴儿,并探讨了这一发现对心理疾病研究的潜在意义。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“But an open question has been whether monkeys have an unlearned ability to sense their bodily signals rather than being taught to do so.(但一个开放性的问题是,猴子是否具有未经学习就能感知身体信号的能力,而不是通过训练获得这种能力)”可知,之前的研究没有解决的是猴子是否能自然地感知心跳这一问题。故选D项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Both human babies and monkeys spend more time looking at things that are unexpected or novel than they do looking at things they expect or are used to seeing.(人类婴儿和猴子都花更多的时间去看那些意想不到或新奇的东西,而不是他们期待或习惯看到的东西)”可知,猴子和人类婴儿一样,会花更多时间观察那些意外或新颖的事物,也就是说,猴子对新事物感到好奇,结合下文的“We used a task that relies on this behavior — originally developed to test whether human babies can sense their own heartbeats — to see if monkeys also have this ability.(我们使用了一项依赖于此行为的任务——这项任务最初是为了测试人类婴儿是否能感知自己的心跳而开发的——来观察猴子是否也具备这种能力)”可知,新研究基于的事实是猴子对新事物感到好奇。故选A项。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线单词后的“These findings strongly suggest that monkeys have an inborn sense of their own heartbeats, just like human babies can do exactly.(这些发现有力地表明,猴子对自己的心跳有一种天生的感觉,就像人类婴儿一样)”可知,猴子和人类婴儿一样,对自己的心跳有一种天然的感觉,结合划线单词所在的句子“Additionally, the extent to which our monkeys paid more attention to out-of-sync shapes than in-sync shapes was very … to the difference in human babies.(此外,我们的猴子对不同步形状比对同步形状更加关注的程度与人类婴儿之间的差异非常……)”可知,此处应表示猴子和人类婴儿对不同步图像的关注度差异是相似的,由此可知,划线单词的意思与“相似的”意义相近。故选D项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据尾段中的“This work has a positive effect on establishing rhesus monkeys as an animal model for human psychological disorder research.(这项工作对建立恒河猴作为人类心理障碍研究的动物模型具有积极影响)”可知,这项新研究的意义在于它有助于确认一个用于进一步心理疾病研究的模型。故选B项。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。介绍了北京传统胡同的三个代表。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:北京西城区有三条受保护的胡同。分析句意可知,动词protect“保护”在句中作定语修饰名词hutongs“胡同”,且二者构成动宾关系,故使用过去分词形式,protected“被保护的”作定语。故填protected。
【37题详解】
考查介词。句意:这座1500米长的东郊民巷是三座民巷中最长的一座,这里有几家高档餐厅和豪华商店,也有一些廉价的餐饮场所和普通商店。分析句意可知,此句包含介词短语be home to“是……的家园”。故填to。
【38题详解】
考查冠词。句意:但最重要的景点是一些保存完好的西式建筑,它们曾是一些外国官员的家。分析句意可知,空格后有形容词最高级most important“最重要的”,而形容词最高级前往往需要加定冠词。故填the。
【39题详解】
考查动词时态语态。句意:但最重要的景点是一些保存完好的西式建筑,它们曾是一些外国官员的家。分析句意可知,be在句中为定语从句的系动词,要根据主语,即先行词buildings“建筑”使用复数形式;时间状语once“曾经”表明应该使用一般过去时。故填were。
【40题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:长496米的杨梅竹西街是其中第二长的,最初以拥有600年历史的建筑而闻名。分析句意可知,空格处需要填写关系代词引导非限定性定语从句,修饰表物的先行词Yangmeizhu West Street“杨梅竹西街”,且在从句中作主语。故填which。
【41题详解】
考查代词。句意:长496米的杨梅竹西街是其中第二长的,最初以拥有600年历史的建筑而闻名。分析句意可知,代词it“它”在句中作定语,修饰名词短语600-year-old architecture“600年历史的建筑”,因此需要使用形容词性物主代词its“它的”。故填its。
【42题详解】
考查形容词。句意:它还吸引了几位文化人物的游客,如20世纪末的中国作家和学者沈从文。分析句意可知,名词culture“文化”在句中作定语修饰名词figures“人物”,因此需要使用形容词形式cultural“文化的”。故填cultural。
【43题详解】
考查现在分词。句意:沿着胡同走下去,你会看到北京本地人在下棋,或者谈论他们自己对艺术和生活的看法。分析句意可知,动词play“玩”在句中作宾语locals“当地人”的补足语,且二者构成主谓关系,故使用现在分词表示主动伴随关系,构成see sb. doing sth.“看到某人正在做某事”。故填playing。
【44题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意:与上述两条胡同不同,宫门口二条要短得多,但它是鲁迅博物馆所在地。分析句意可知,形容词short“短的”在句中作表语,但表示和其他两个胡同对比,相对而言短一些,故应该使用比较级。故填shorter。
【45题详解】
考查动词语态。句意:与上述两条胡同不同,宫门口二条要短得多,但它是鲁迅博物馆所在地。分析句意可知,动词locate“位于”在谓语,且与主语Lu Xun Museum“鲁迅博物馆”构成动宾关系,因为这件事是一般事实,故使用一般现在时被动语态。故填is located。

21 years after graduating from college, I became a high school English teacher. During my first term as an educator, the kids taught me about high school and life, and what was important to them. It had been 25 years since I graduated from high school, so I had a lot to learn. I listened, took notes, and asked many questions.
My students had more hardship (艰难) than what I had been familiar with at their age. Understanding their situations was not easy, but loving them came easily.
When my second term began, my classroom welcomed a group of new students, including one young man who lit up the space every time he passed through the door. David stood tall at six feet and four inches. His strong body gave him the appearance of a grown man. His wide smile and bright eyes charmed every person in the classroom.
He was smart, too. David seemed to know the answers to everything. For weeks, he controlled the atmosphere of my class. He was very active. He led group discussions, encouraged others to participate, and earned the highest grades. I was so impressed by him and his abilities that I didn’t ask many questions. I didn’t really take time to get to know him as I had to be with my first-term students.
A few weeks passed, and we entered the month of February. David walked quietly into the classroom. His usual smile disappeared, and he looked cold. I asked if he was okay, but he didn’t respond. I encouraged him to participate, but he refused. He was just silent and emotionless. I was puzzled, embarrassed, upset and also angry about his behavior in class.
Finally, I called another student to my office. I had noticed him often walking in the hallways with David. “Do you know what’s wrong with David?” I asked. He replied, “Oh, Mrs Green, his mom’s birthday is coming, but she was just found to have cancer.”

【答案】One possible version:
I was shocked and sad. I decided to do something for David during his hard time. The next day, after school, I stopped him at my desk. “I’m sorry,” I said, placing my hand on his left shoulder. “I’ve learned what’s going on with you. Why not just take a week’s leave?” David replied, “My mom won’t allow it for fear that it will affect my studies. But I’m too upset, and unable to focus on studying.” He almost cried.
Hoping to comfort him, I asked, “Can I give you a hug?” David bent down and hugged me. When he stood straight, I said, “David, continue being active in class. Your good performance in school can cheer your mom up and help her recover.” He looked at me and nodded. From then on, David worked harder than before. On a Sunday morning, I visited his mom, which made David and me more connected. The next year, he was admitted to a great university. What’s more, his mom pulled through months later.
