(2024·高一下福建泉州期末)“A diet high in fats and sugars actually affects the parts of the brain that are important to memory and makes people more likely to desire for unhealthful food,” says American psychologist Terry Davidson.
Davidson didn't start out studying people's eating.Instead,he was interested in learning about the hippocampus (海马体),a part of the brain heavily involved in memory.He noticed something strange when he studied mice with hippocampal damage.They would go to pick up food more often than the others,but they would eat a little bit,then drop it.
Davidson realized these mice didn't know they were full.He says something similar may happen in human brains when people eat a diet high in fat and sugar.If our brain system is damaged by that diet, that makes it harder for us to stop eating that diet.
The evidence is growing.In another study by Cambridge psychologist Lucy Cheke,her researchers asked obese (肥胖的) and thin people to do a memory task,a virtual treasure hunt.The subjects had to hide something in a scene across various computer sessions (会话框),then they were asked what they hid,where they hid it and in which session.The obese people were 15-20 percent worse than the thin ones in all aspects of the experiment.
Cheke says with the link between obesity and the brain growing as a field of research,we could see more ways of targeting obesity.For example,if the problem is that obese people's diet degrades their memory,perhaps making people's meals more memorable would help them eat less bad stuff.Previous researches showed that watching TV while eating will probably make people eat more,get hungry in the afternoon and eat more at dinner.So Cheke suggests not watching TV while eating.It is one of the easy changes people can make that don't involve much selfcontrol,but that makes a great difference.
[语篇解读]本文是一篇说明文。一项新的研究表明,高脂肪和高糖的饮食实际上会影响大脑中对记忆很重要的部分,使人们更容易想吃不健康的食物。
8.What inspired Davidson's new finding?
A.The growing popularity of unhealthy diet.
B.His former study on hippocampus.
C.His research on people's eating habits.
D.The strange behaviour of the studied mice.
D [细节理解题。根据第二段后两句及第三段前两句可知,实验中老鼠的一些奇怪的行为启发了他的新发现。故选D。]
9.What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A.A sense of hunger.
B.The similarity in brains.
C.The damage of brain.
D.A diet high in fat and sugar.
C [代词指代题。根据画线单词前的“If our brain system is damaged by that diet”可知,画线的“that”指的是大脑的损伤。故选C。]
10.What are the subjects in Cheke's study required to do?
A.Memorize the treasure locations.
B.Answer questions on their hiding task.
C.Chat on various computer sessions.
D.Conduct an experiment with obesity.

B.The research's contribution to brain science.

Checking the ticketbooking strategy,setting an alarm clock,staying up late to check the messages...Liang Yu never thought that she will have to wake up in the middle of the night to “grab tickets” for a museum visit.“I used to be able to easily buy tickets for concerts and musicals,but now I can't get tickets to the Palace Museum,” Liang told the reporter.
It is not just tickets for the Palace Museum that are difficult to get.Nowadays,during the peak tourist seasons,people complain that it's hard to get tickets for many museums in China.
The public's enthusiasm (热情) for museums reflects cultural selfconfidence.People enter the museum to experience the rich history and colorful civilization for their spiritual advancement.Only by understanding the past can we better create the future.
China was among the fastest growing countries when it comes to the museum industry over the past few years.An average of one new museum was opened every two days across China between 2016 and 2020.By the end of 2020,China was home to 5,788 registered museums,with 1,224 at the state level.
One of the reasons behind the increased museum visits is a renewed interest in museums fueled by popular TV shows and documentaries on cultural heritage.These programs are all big hits among the modern generation.They strike a good balance between knowledge and entertainment.
Taking National Treasure for an example,it quickly rose to the top of the country's national television ratings after it was presented to the public in December 2017 on the China Central Television(CCTV).The show focused on introducing the stories and history of 27 rare antiques (古董) from nine key museums in China.Nine treasures were chosen through audience voting to be included in an exhibition at the Palace Museum in Beijing in 2020,on the 600th anniversary of the Forbidden City.
A follower of National Treasure,32yearold web designer Liu Ning described the show as creative,informative and fun.He said it successfully aroused his interest in traditional culture show by presenting museums and ancient relics (遗产) in a vivid way.
[语篇解读]本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了博物馆行业发展迅速的现象,以及文化遗产类电视节目对此的推动作用。
12.How does the author introduce the topic in Paragraph 1?
A.By listing numbers.
B.By making comparisons.
C.By giving an example.
D.By asking questions.
C [推理判断题。通读第一段可知,本段通过描述梁雨半夜起来抢博物馆门票的事例来表明人们对博物馆热情高涨,所以本段是通过举例子来引入话题的。故选C项。]

第二节(满分25分)
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
From the first day when I brought Juan,a penguin I saved on a beach in Uruguay (乌拉圭),to live at St.George school,one student in particular wanted to help take care of it.That boy's name was Diego.The shy 13yearold Bolivian (玻利维亚的) boy wasn't gifted at study.And none of St.George's afterschool activities seemed to suit him either.In addition,Diego's knowledge of English was limited,so he didn't like talking with his classmates.But the saddest part was that he suffered homesickness.It came as no surprise that the boy spent much time with Juan and the penguin liked him.
I'd been thinking of letting Juan swim in the school's outdoor pool.Then one night,Diego and I brought Juan to swim there.The penguin dived into the pool,flew like an arrow across the water and suddenly hit the wall on the opposite side.Diego was worried and took a sharp breath.After a moment,Juan rose to the surface spluttering (发出噗噗声),gave an energetic shake and swam again.It flew from one end to the other,doing dramatic turns, and finally found the freedom to express its nature.
“Look at it!” Diego shouted.Then he asked me quietly,“Can I swim with it?”
“What? And it's ‘May I swim,’” I corrected him.“Sir.May I swim? Please! Just five minutes.”
I was shocked.I never knew Diego wanted to do anything,apart from taking care of Juan and avoiding others.“But the water is cold.Are you sure you want to go in?” “Please!” Diego begged.“All right,but be quick!” I said,thinking he'd sink like a stone.Diego's eyes were shining.He ran to the dorm to get changed and reappeared in no time.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
Without hesitation,he dived into the water.
“Diego! You swim really well! Brilliantly,in fact!” I said excitedly while handing him a towel.
[参考范文]
Without hesitation,he dived into the water.I was prepared to jump in and rescue him.But I was astonished.Not only could Diego swim,but he swam magnificently! He chased after Juan,treading water skillfully.Moments later,Diego left the penguin swimming behind him.I had never seen such interaction,which highlighted each of their skills.I also found Diego's true nature—a very normal boy with a very special talent.After five minutes as promised,Diego swam to the edge.In one graceful movement,he sprang out,Juan following.
“Diego! You swim really well! Brilliantly,in fact!” I said excitedly while handing him a towel.“You think so?”He asked,not looking directly at me,but I saw just a smile on his face—the first,I believe,that was on his lips since he'd arrived at school.As we returned to the dorm,Diego told me that his father had taught him to swim in Bolivia.He also spoke freely about other things he enjoyed at home.I listened carefully as he talked endlessly,without correcting his English,just enjoying the pleasant night for both of us.
