[对应学生用书P468] Ⅰ.阅读理解 A After their three children grew up and left home，Margaret Thompson and her husband，Kenneth，stretched their legs together on walking holidays in Switzerland.In Interlaken，they would head up the mountain and watch the paragliders (滑翔伞运动员) launch themselves into the sky.Back in town，in a large park，they watched them return to the earth.“Some day I'd love to do that，” Thompson told Kenneth. But there was always so much to do in Interlaken.Besides，Thompson didn't know if Kenneth would have enjoyed it.“He was not so keen on heights as I was，” she said.So she continued to watch the paragliders take flight and land. Kenneth died in 2005.Eleven years later，Thompson finally took to the skies herself，being a paraglider at the age of 80.Although some people got scared while flying，she said she just felt free.Thompson did her second paraglide when she turned 85，and raised nearly ￡2，000 for a local charity. Before leaving Interlaken after her second flight，Thompson asked the organizers about the age limit for paragliding.They said，“Any age，as long as you're fit.”Thompson，now 86，plans her third flight for when she is 90. Thompson grew up living above her parents' shop in Belfast.At 18，she helped in the shop while studying for her music diploma in Stranmillis University College in South Belfast.She started to teach the piano to local children，and at the height of her teaching she gave 70 lessons a week.She still has 15 pupils on her books.“Over the years I've had so many that I'm teaching their children now.” Is she scared of getting older? “Fear? No.People say，‘Isn't getting old awful? ’I say，‘No.You are free to do more things that you want to do.’” “People might worry about falling，it being the end of them.But that doesn't bother me at all.When it's your time，it's your time，no matter where you are，”Thompson added. [语篇解读]　本文是一篇记叙文。退休之后的Thompson和Kenneth夫妇四处旅行，Thompson喜欢上了滑翔伞运动。在Kenneth去世后，Thompson以80岁高龄进行了第一次跳伞；85岁的时候，她又进行了第二次跳伞。她会继续行走在追逐梦想的道路上。 1．What can we know about Thompson from the first two paragraphs? A．She appreciated being alone. B．She was crazy about paragliding. C．She often worked overtime. D．She didn't fit in with her husband. 解析　B　推理判断题。根据第一段中的“watch the paragliders(滑翔伞运动员)launch themselves into the sky”和“Some day I'd love to do that”，以及第二段中的“He was not so keen on heights as I was”可推测，Thompson非常喜欢滑翔伞运动，故选B。 2．Which of the following best describes Thompson? A．Courageous and optimistic. B．Sensitive and open­minded. C．Romantic and cautious. D．Considerate and humorous. 解析　A　推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Although some people got scared while flying，she said she just felt free”可知，Thompson勇敢无畏；再根据第四段中的“Thompson，now 86，plans her third flight for when she is 90”和最后一段中的“‘Isn't getting old awful？’ I say，‘No.You are free to do more things that you want to do.’”可以看出，Thompson很乐观。故A项正确。 3．Why does the author mention Thompson's words in the last paragraph? A．To compare different old people. B．To inspire people to care for the old. C．To show getting old isn't unpleasant. D．To erase doubts about old people's health. 解析　C　推理判断题。 根据最后一段中Thompson所说的话尤其是“Fear? No”“You are free to do more things that you want to do”可知，Thompson对于变老这件事没有恐惧，反而认为变老给了她自由做自己想做的事情的机会。据此可以推断，作者提到Thompson的话是为了说明变老并不可怕，故选C。 4．What can we learn from Thompson's story? A．Aging makes a difference. B．Time and tide wait for no man. C．Rome wasn't built in a day. D．It's never too late to fulfill a dream. 解析　D　推理判断题。整篇文章主要讲述了Thompson退休之后是如何实现自己做滑翔伞运动的梦想的。她在80岁的时候第一次完成了滑翔伞跳伞，85岁的时候完成了第二次，并计划在90岁的时候完成第三次。由此可见，追逐梦想任何时候都不晚，故D项正确。 B Researchers at MIT created a high­tech pill that starts to vibrate (振动) once it makes contact with liquid in the user's stomach and makes him or her feel full.The pill was reportedly thought up by Shriya Srinivasan，currently an assistant professor of bioengineering at Harvard University. VIBES，short for Vibrating Ingestible BioElectronic Stimulator，was only recently made public in a study published in the Science journal，but it is already being announced by the media as the future of weight loss.Although it has yet to be tested on humans，trials on pigs have achieved very hopeful results.After about 30 minutes of VIBES activity，pigs consumed on average almost 40 percent less food in the next half hour than they did without the smart pill.Apparently，the revolutionary device works by activating stretch receptors in the stomach，modeling the presence of food.This in turn signals the hypothalamus (下丘脑) to increase the levels of hormones that make us feel full.The vibrating stimulator，which is about the size of a vitamin pill，is powered by an encased battery and activated either by the gastric fluid (胃液) breaking down the coat around the pill，or by an incorporated timer.After producing the desired effect，the pill exits the body with other solid waste. The good news is that it is expected to have a cost in the cents to one dollar range，and researchers say that it may eventually be possible to implant the stimulator and thus remove the need for people to constantly swallow it. “Our study demonstrates the effectiveness of a low­cost，non­operative intervention to reduce food intake and calorie consumption.The device functions effectively in the stomach and leads to fullness，” said Giovanni Traverso，co­author of the study.“The device has the potential to revolutionize options for weight loss treatment.However，future studies will be needed to explore the physiological effects of the device before it's available for patients.” Researchers are now exploring ways to scale up the producing of VIBES capsules which could enable clinical trials on humans. [语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了麻省理工学院的研究人员研发出了一款神奇的药丸，人吃上这种药片就会产生饱腹感，从而减少食物摄入量，达到减肥的效果。 5．What is the outcome of taking the pill? A．Liquid production. B．Food storage. C．A sensation of fullness. D．Recovery of users. 解析　C　细节理解题。根据第一段中的“once it makes contact with liquid in the user's stomach and makes him or her feel full”可知，一旦吃了这种药片，人就会产生饱腹感，故选C。sensation“感觉，知觉”。 6．Which aspect of the device is mentioned in paragraph 2 ? A．Its working principle. B．Its intelligence. C．Its testing history. D．Its side effect. 解析　A　推理判断题。根据第二段中的“the revolutionary device works by activating stretch receptors in the stomach，modeling the presence of food...After producing the desired effect，the pill exits the body with other solid waste”可知，这种革命性的装置的工作原理是激活胃中的牵张感受器，模拟食物的存在。这反过来又使下丘脑增加能使我们感到饱腹的激素水平。振动刺激器由被包裹的电池供电，通过胃液分解药丸周围的涂层，或由被包含的定时器激活。在产生预期的效果后，药丸与其他固体废物一起离开身体。由此可见，本段讲到了该设备的工作原理，故A项正确。 7．What is the researchers' ultimate goal of the device? A．To produce gastric fluid with it. B．To destroy the coat around it. C．To fix it in the human body. D．To remove solid waste from it. 解析　C　细节理解题。根据第三段中的“it may eventually be possible to implant the stimulator and thus remove the need for people to constantly swallow it”可知，研究人员希望最终将该刺激器植入体内，从而使人们不必不断吞下它，故C项正确。 8．What is Giovanni Traverso's attitude towards the future of the device? A．Worried. B．Cautious. C．Doubtful. D．Confused. 解析　B　推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中Giovanni Traverso 所说的话“future studies will be needed to explore the physiological effects of the device before it's available for patients”可知，在该设备上市之前还需要进行研究以探索其生理效应。据此可以推断，Giovanni Traverso对该设备的前景持谨慎态度，故选B。 Ⅱ.完形填空 (2025·南昌一模)I passed my test when I was 19，and I've been behind the wheel for most journeys since.After becoming a 1 eight years ago，I became more dependent on my car，thinking that it meant security for me and my child.I couldn't 2 a world where I didn't get around on four wheels，but that all 3 when I tried going car­free.
