In the video, there was a group of tourists traveling in the desert in Turpan, Northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region. Suddenly they found their hair standing on end, which scared everyone on the scene. According to the tourists, their hair returned to normal situation after they drove 3 kilometers down the road. Many people on the Internet said the phenomenon(现象)is a sign of a coming storm. They suggested that the group should have run away as soon as possible. However, Feng Minxue, an expert said that running away is not the best choice in such a situation. According to Feng,if a person's hair is dry and there is a little too much static electricity(静电)，there is still time to leave. However,if the hair has already stood on end, running can be fatal because it may put the person in danger. The correct way is to lower one's body height. If they can't leave the mountain top in time, they should quickly crouch(蹲) down in that place, bring their feet as close together as possible and use their hands to protect their head, avoiding touching the ground. Wu Xueke, a professor, thinks that the clouds with electricity above the head of the tourists caused the situation. The electric field distortion(畸变)above their head became strong, and then it caused static electricity in their hair. In some serious cases, the person might be hit by lightning. Therefore, if people meet with such a situation outdoors, they should keep a clear mind and take action properly. 5. What did many people on the Internet advise the tourists to do? A. Stand still. B. Lie down quietly. C. Run away immediately. 6. What does the underlined word “fatal” in Paragraph 3 mean in Chinese? A.讨厌的 B.致命的 C.突然的 7. According to Feng, what should the tourists do? ① Keep their body down. ② Bring their feet close together. ③ Protect their head. ④ Touch the ground. A.①②③ B.①②④ C.①③④ 8. What can we know from the last paragraph? A. People outdoors should try to avoid dark clouds. B. There is electricity in the clouds in the desert. C. Strong electric field distortion can cause static electricity in hair. C A strange way to get relaxed has spread to cities across China. That is hugging trees. Young people take comfort from it. Hundreds of people online share their tree-hugging experiences which make themselves less stressed and nervous. In their opinion, it is a way of keeping a close relationship with the natural world. By hugging a tree, some of them feel that the tree is hugging them back. One woman gave up her job because of too much work pressure. According to her, hugging trees helps her a lot. She totally enjoys herself in hugging trees. “Hugging trees helps me calm down and lets me return to a natural state(状态). I feel so free and feel the world is so big. I have also become braver than before,"she said. Hugging trees is actually a kind of psychological therapy(心理治疗) which first came from northern Europe. In northern Finland, there's even a tree-hugging competition every August. A study has also shown that hugging can lead people to give off oxytocin(催产素).Oxytocin is able to create feelings of love and make people less stressed. While tree-hugging has been shown to be helpful for people's body and mind, there are many points we should pay attention to before we do that. 9. Who in the following would most probably hug trees according to the passage? A. A teenager who has a strong and healthy body. B. A woman who usually feels excited and relaxed. C.

Can't they go into a hibernation-like state(类似休眠的状态)during the journey and wake up when they get to Mars? A group of scientists have been testing to see if it might work. 18 It's a state when an animal stops moving and its body temperature and heart rate drop. Some animals, such as mice,naturally enter torpor when the weather is cold or food is short. Torpor is similar to hibernation. Scientists wanted to find a way to make mice enter torpor. 19 When the team turned the hats on, the mice's body temperature and heart rate fell, just as they would during torpor. They kept the mice in the state for 24 hours. When the scientists turned off the hats, they recovered(恢复）completely within two hours. The scientists then tried the test on rats. Rats are larger than mice and they don't naturally enter torpor. During the test, the rats' body temperature also fell, although not as much as it did in the mice. The results with the rats mean that scientists can try the test on animals that don't naturally enter torpor, including humans. 20 After all, they need to make sure the test on humans is safe. A. However, they still have a lot work to do before testing on humans. B. It's sometimes called the Red Planet. C. To do this, they made special hats for the mice. D.

It is a story about six giant trolls who have noticed humans are harming the planet. They want to help humans connect to it. Dambo's giant trolls are made of used wood.About14 years ago, he decided to use only recycled materials(可回收材料) in his art. He sees his work as part of a cycle: People cut down forests to make things that get thrown away, then he uses that rubbish to make art that tells stories about protecting nature. Atlanta Botanical Garden spokesperson Danny Flanders said, “Dambo's work is a natural fit for the garden, where our job is all about saving the planet.” Finishing the work is not easy. Dambo worked with a team of 21 people to create the giant trolls in Denmark. The giant trolls are 16 to 50 feet tall. They were then taken apart and shipped to Atlanta, where Dambo's team spent about 7 days reassembling(重新组装) them. Besides sending an environmental message, Dambo hopes his work shows people that they can create art with all kinds of materials. “I also want to remind people that they can build the world in new ways." he said. There are more than 100 of Dambo's giant trolls around the world. You can find out where they are online. 41. When did the show Trolls: Save the Humans end? 42.

Can't they go into a hibernation-like state(类似休眠的状态)during the journey and wake up when they get to Mars? A group of scientists have been testing to see if it might work. 18 It's a state when an animal stops moving and its body temperature and heart rate drop. Some animals, such as mice,naturally enter torpor when the weather is cold or food is short. Torpor is similar to hibernation. Scientists wanted to find a way to make mice enter torpor. 19 When the team turned the hats on, the mice's body temperature and heart rate fell, just as they would during torpor. They kept the mice in the state for 24 hours. When the scientists turned off the hats, they recovered(恢复）completely within two hours. The scientists then tried the test on rats. Rats are larger than mice and they don't naturally enter torpor. During the test, the rats' body temperature also fell, although not as much as it did in the mice. The results with the rats mean that scientists can try the test on animals that don't naturally enter torpor, including humans. 20 After all, they need to make sure the test on humans is safe. A. However, they still have a lot work to do before testing on humans. B. It's sometimes called the Red Planet. C. To do this, they made special hats for the mice. D. They tested something called torpor(迟钝) first. E. The journey could take around nine months. 参考答案：17-20 EDCA 为了提升宇航员在深空探测时的舒适体验感，科学家用老鼠做实验，希望能帮宇航员进入一种类似休眠的“迟钝”状态。 17.E空前一句提到美国国家航空航天局计划让人类在火星着陆；再根据空后的“That's not such a long time”和in those nine months 可知，空处应与宇航员到达火星所需的时间有关，故E项“这段旅程将花费大约九个月的时间”可承上启下，符合语境。 18.D 根据空后一句可知，在这种状态下，动物会停止移动，并且体温和心率会下降，这是对空处内容的解释。空处应与这种状态有关，故D项“他们首先测试了迟钟这种状态”可引出下文，符合语境。 19.C根据空前一句可知，科学家们想找到让老鼠进入迟钝状态的方法；空后介绍了当科学家给老鼠打开帽子时老鼠的反应。空处应与科学家们让老鼠进入迟钝状态的方法有关，故C项“为达到此目的，他们为这些老鼠制作了特殊的帽子”可承上启下，符合语境。 20.A空前一句提到大老鼠的实验结果显示科学家们可以在不能自然地进入迟钝状态的动物身上进行实验，这其中包括人类；空后一句提到他们需要确保对人类进行的实验是安全的。空处应与对人类进行实验有关，故A项“然而，在对人类进行实验前，他们还有很多工作要做”可承上启下，符合语境。 二、完形填空 （共10小题，每小题1分；满分10分） 阅读短文，理解其大意，从A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Bill and Mark are my cousins.

It is a story about six giant trolls who have noticed humans are harming the planet. They want to help humans connect to it. Dambo's giant trolls are made of used wood.About14 years ago, he decided to use only recycled materials(可回收材料) in his art. He sees his work as part of a cycle: People cut down forests to make things that get thrown away, then he uses that rubbish to make art that tells stories about protecting nature. Atlanta Botanical Garden spokesperson Danny Flanders said, “Dambo's work is a natural fit for the garden, where our job is all about saving the planet.” Finishing the work is not easy. Dambo worked with a team of 21 people to create the giant trolls in Denmark. The giant trolls are 16 to 50 feet tall. They were then taken apart and shipped to Atlanta, where Dambo's team spent about 7 days reassembling(重新组装) them. Besides sending an environmental message, Dambo hopes his work shows people that they can create art with all kinds of materials. “I also want to remind people that they can build the world in new ways." he said. There are more than 100 of Dambo's giant trolls around the world. You can find out where they are online. 41. When did the show Trolls: Save the Humans end? 42.

It is a natural fit for the garden. 根据第二段最后Danny说的话中的“Dambo's work is a natural fit for the garden”可知，Danny 认为Dambo的艺术作品和这座植物园完美融合。 43.To show it's not easy to finish the work. 根据第三段的内容特别是本段第一句可知，Dambo与一个由21人组成的团队合作，在丹麦创造了这些“巨魔”。这些“巨魔”有16到50英尺高。然后，它们被拆开，运到亚特兰大，Dambo的团队在亚特兰大花了大约7天的时间把它们重新组装起来。由此可推知，作者运用大量数字是为了表明完成这个作品并不容易。 44.

One day between the tortoise and the rabbit, they had a race to decide who ran faster than the other. After determining route, they began to run. At first, the rabbit ran very fast and was in front of the tortoise. Seeing the tortoise was far left behind him, the rabbit thought that the tortoise was so slow that he could hardly catch up with him. So, he lay under a tree, and soon fell asleep. Although the tortoise ran slowly, he didn't stop. Instead, he kept on running. When the rabbit woke up and didn't find the tortoise, he ran to the finishing line as fast as possible.To his surprise, the tortoise had been there already. Without doubt, the tortoise won the race. At the same time, the rabbit thought why he had lost the race and he learned that he failed because of his pride. From the story I have learned that"Modesty helps one to make progress.
