To help you on your journey of self-growth and discovery, here are some free learning tools available for self-learners. Khan Academy Khan Academy is one of the most popular learning tools out there. It offers over 4,000 free courses from a huge variety of disciplines. One of the best things about the platform is that it’s available in many other languages other than English. It is a mobile app with wonderful videos to keep your learning on the go. Duolingo Speaking of learning on the go, Duolingo is also one of the most popular mobile learning apps. The app offers you the opportunity to learn a language. Flashcards, multiple-choice questions, and translation exercises help you pick up vocabulary and grammar. If you want to get started learning a new language, Duolingo can give you an excellent foundation. The Uiniversity of Oxford England’s oldest university offers over 600 online courses, sets of teaching materials, and lecture series on its open education platform. This makes it one of the most invaluable learning tools on the Internet. Unlike courses on other platforms, Oxford’s courses and lectures aren’t laid out to give introductions to broad topics. Instead, learners can deep-dive into specific attractive subjects, such as the late works of Schumann, or the performance history of Medea. BookBoon If you’re the learner type who likes text and text only, BookBoon is a great resource for you. It offers over 50 million e-books and textbooks on just about any subject that you can think of. From an introduction to essay writing to the philosophy of artificial intelligence, BookBoon has almost covered everything. 21. What do Khan Academy and Duolingo have in common? A. They are only available in English. B. They offer thousands of free courses. C. They belong to mobile learning apps. D. They are platforms for learning classroom discipline. 22. What is unique about the University of Oxford? A. It covers specific courses. B. It includes video teaching. C. It is available for self-learners. D. It provides online courses. 23. Which is the fittest one for text-loving learners? A. Khan Academy. B. Duolingo. C. The University of Oxford. D. BookBoon. 【答案】21. C 22. A 23. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了四款学习工具。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据Khan Academy介绍中的最后一句“It is a mobile app with wonderful videos to keep your learning on the go.(这是一个有精彩的视频的移动应用程序，以让你边走边学。)”和Duolingo介绍中的第一句“Speaking of learning on the go, Duolingo is also one of the most popular mobile learning apps.(说到边走边学，Duolingo也是最受欢迎的移动学习应用之一。)”可知，这两款学习工具的共同之处是它们都属于移动应用程序。故选C项。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据The University of Oxford介绍中的最后一句“Instead, learners can deep-dive into specific attractive subjects, such as the late works of Schumann, or the performance history of Medea.(相反，学习者可以深入研究特定的有吸引力的主题，如舒曼的晚期作品，或美狄亚的表演历史。)”可知，这款学习工具的独特之处在于学习者可以通过此学习工具深入研究特定的、有吸引力的主题。故选A项。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据BookBoon介绍中的前两句“If you’re the learner type who likes text and text only, BookBoon is a great resource for you. It offers over 50 million e-books and textbooks on just about any subject that you can think of.(如果你是那种只喜欢文本的学习者，BookBoon对你来说是一个很好的资源。它提供了超过5000万本电子书和教科书，内容几乎是你能想到的任何主题。)”可知，该学习工具最适合喜欢文本学习的人。故选D项。 B When a woman was talkative while checking out at a Dollar General, her cashier, Emily Dunean didn’t think much of it. But she stayed attentive as the 85-year-old told her about herself. A man behind her in line noticed what was happening, too. Gerald Swindle was in a hurry to go hunting that day and was a bit annoyed with how long their conversation was going. But as Gerald waited for his turn, his attitude began to change. Not only did he conclude that hunting wasn’t more important than their conversation, but found himself captivated by what the elderly woman said once he stopped to listen. “You were patient with this lady,” Gerald later said in a video recalling what had happened. “You did nothing but followed her conversation, listening to every word she said, and never rushing her.” He added, “You showed me what people ought to be. Sometimes it might be the only person they talk to this week. You inspired me and sometimes I need that, so I appreciate it.” Since posting the video online, it’s become popular with nearly 2 million views! “I never expected this to come about because it was just a regular day for me. I was just doing my job,” Emily said. As the comment section quickly filled with others sharing how inspired they felt by Emily’s kindness, higher-ups at Dollar General heard of the story. One day, members from the company’s leadership team showed up to her store and presented her with flower, and a $1,000 donation to a local elementary school. Best of all, that elderly woman has since come back to the store several times, and the two of them are becoming quite close. “What I’ve learned is so amazing—you can have an effect on people just by being yourself, working at the Dollar General,” she said. 24. How did Gerald act at the talk between Emily and the customer at first? A. He listened with full attention. B. He focused on his own hunting. C. He felt lucky to be not talkative. D. He felt disturbed at the long talk. 25. What does the underlined word “captivated” mean in Paragraph 2? A. Stuck. B. Angered. C. Inspired. D. Attracted. 26. What was the post about? A. What patience Emily showed to the customer. B. Why Dollar General became popular online. C. How Gerald dealt with the customer attentively. D. How Emily was praised by her company leader. 27. What did Emily learn from the story? A. Caring for the old can bring benefit to us. B. Listening to people is a skill to be mastered. C. It’s sometimes easy to influence other people. D. Being a cashier is a good way for connection. 【答案】24. D 25. D 26. A 27. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。一家商店的收银员耐心倾听一位老年顾客的倾诉并与之交谈，她的故事被发布到网上，引起人们的共鸣。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Gerald Swindle was in a hurry to go hunting that day and was a bit annoyed with how long their conversation was going.( Gerald Swindle那天急着去打猎，对他们的谈话持续了这么长时间感到有些恼火)”可知，Gerald Swindle那天赶着去打猎，前面那个顾客与收银员长时间的对话让他感觉被打扰了，故选D项。 【25题详解】 词义猜测题。根据划线词前“But as Gerald waited for his turn, his attitude began to change. Not only did he conclude that hunting wasn’t more important than their conversation(可是Gerald等着轮到他的时候，他的态度开始改变了。他不仅得出结论，打猎并不比他们的谈话更重要)”及划线词后“he stopped to listen(他停下来倾听)”可知，Gerald不仅开始倾听这位老人对收银员的倾诉，而且对她说的话“很感兴趣”，从语境的递进关系判断，划线词的含义是“吸引”。故选D项。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段内容“‘You were patient with this lady,’ Gerald later said in a video recalling what had happened. ‘You did nothing but followed her conversation, listening to every word she said, and never rushing her.’(‘你对这位女士很有耐心，’Gerald后来在一段视频中回忆发生的事情时说。‘你什么也没做，只是跟着她说话，听她说的每一个字，从不催促她。’)”可知，Gerald在一家名为Dollar General的商店里看到收银员艾米丽耐心倾听一个老年顾客的讲述，Gerald把这段对话的视频发到网上，所以这条视频是关于Emily对顾客表现出的耐心，故选A项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段 “‘What I’ve learned is so amazing—you can have an effect on people just by being yourself, working at the Dollar General,’ she said.(‘我所学到的是如此惊人——你可以通过在Dollar General工作，做你自己来影响别人，’她说。)”可知，Emily谈到自己的感悟：有时候很容易影响别人，故选C项。 C Scientists have long sought to prevent sharp memories from dulling with age, but the problem is hard to solve. New research suggests Virtual Reality (VR) might help older people recall facts and events based on specific details. The study involved 42 healthy older adults from the San Francisco Bay Area. Half spent a dozen hours over four weeks playing a virtual-reality game called Labyrinth. They wore headsets and walked in place, wandering virtual neighborhoods while completing missions. The other half, in the control group, used computers to play games that did not require navigationg (导航) or recalling details. After 15 sessions, the latter performed much the same as before on a long-term memory test based on picking out objects they had seen about an hour earlier. But the Labyrinth players’ scores rose, and they were less frequently tricked by objects that were similar to ones they had viewed. “The improvement brought them back up to the level of another group of younger adults who did the same memory tests,” said cognitive neuroscientist Peter Wais of the University of California, San Francisco. He and his colleagues designed the VR game, which they say likely stimulates (刺激) the hippocampus—— a brain area that is important for long-term memory. The team did not observe improvement on two other tests, which measured autobiographical memory (自传体记忆) and spatial memory capability. “It would be great to actually follow people over time and see what this type of game does for long-term memory,” said Meredith Thompson, a Massachusetts Institute of Technology education researcher. Daniel Simons, a cognitive psychologist, said that testing three measures, instead of just one, would increase the possibility of finding an improvement. And it remains unclear how test performance in a laboratory setting might translate to real-world situations. Simons notes, “The outcome needs to be repeated, ideally with a much larger group, before it is treated as a strong finding.” Wais’s team is now investigating how long the observed effects last and which elements of the training have the most impact. 28. What does the study show? A. Human memories get worse as they age. B. The elderly are weak in observing details. C. VR may improve the memory of the elderly. D. VR games are more popular among the aged. 29. What can we infer from paragraph 3? A. VR games make people feel younger. B. Good memory skills depend on long-term training. C. VR games do not work in all types of memory tests. D. The elderly score higher than younger adults in the tests. 30. What is Daniel Simons’ attitude to the outcome of the study? A. Cautious B. Supportive C. Ambiguous D. Disapproving 31. Where can we probably read this text? A. In a scientific report. B. In a health magazine. C. In a fiction novel. D. In a medical journal. 【答案】28. C 29.

A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述的是虚拟现实可以改善老年人的记忆，并介绍了研究的开展过程以及相关专家对此的看法。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段的“New research suggests Virtual Reality (VR) might help older people recall facts and events based on specific details.(新的研究表明，虚拟现实（VR）可能会帮助老年人回忆起基于特定细节的事实和事件。)”可知，这项研究表明了VR可以改善老年人的记忆力。故选C。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段的“He and his colleagues designed the VR game, which they say likely stimulates (刺激) the hippocampus—— a brain area that is important for long-term memory. The team did not observe improvement on two other tests, which measured autobiographical memory (自传体记忆) and spatial memory capability.(他和他的同事们设计了这个虚拟现实游戏，他们说这可能会刺激海马体——一个对长期记忆很重要的大脑区域。研究小组在另外两项测量自传体记忆和空间记忆能力的测试中没有观察到改善。)”可知，VR游戏并不适用于所有类型的记忆测试。故选C。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“And it remains unclear how test performance in a laboratory setting might translate to real-world situations. Simons notes, “The outcome needs to be repeated, ideally with a much larger group, before it is treated as a strong finding.”(目前还不清楚实验室环境中的测试表现如何转化为现实世界的情况。西蒙斯指出:“结果需要重复，最好是在更大的群体中重复，然后才能被视为一个强有力的发现。”)”可推知，Daniel Simons对研究结果的态度是谨慎的。故选A。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“New research suggests Virtual Reality (VR) might help older people recall facts and events based on specific details.(新的研究表明，虚拟现实（VR）可能会帮助老年人回忆起基于特定细节的事实和事件。)”以及接下来的描述可知，这属于科学研究领域，所以我们可以推测我们可能在科学报告中读到这篇文章。故选A。 D Salt was so valuable in ancient Rome that soldiers were sometimes paid with it. In fact, the word salary comes from the Latin word sal, for salt. When a soldier was doing an awful job, his paycheck might be cut, which is how we got the expression “not worth his salt.” Salt can still he valuable today. Amethyst Bamboo 9x salt, which rings up at &398 a pound, may be the most expensive in the world. This pricey stuff takes a lot of time to produce — it’s roasted nine times inside a bamboo pole at temperatures over 1,400 degrees F. Historically, salt’s value came from its ability to preserve food. Venice, Italy, may be famous for its canals now, but salt imports helped its rise as an important trade power by the end of the 13th century. Salt also took on a great deal of symbolic value, like “old salt” referring to an experienced sailor. Salt is mentioned so many times in the Bible. For instance, “the salt of the earth” is used to describe a person who is dependable; “a covenant of salt” means a firm promise. Most people know about the health risks associated with sodium (钠), but reducing your intake isn’t always easy. Even foods that don’t taste salty may contain it. If you are looking for sodium-free flavoring, try garlic, pepper, rosemary and other spices or herbs. Still, we all need at least some salt. It promotes the transport of nutrients and oxygen, allows nerves to send messages, and helps our muscle work. The average adult’s body contains about 250 grams of sodium. Consumption of too much salt can be deadly. For older folks especially, a heavy hand with the saltshaker may raise blood pressure, causing hypertension and hurt the head. A study of 975 people between the ages of 60 to 80 and with high blood pressure found that reducing sodium in their diets was associated with lower risk of headache. 32. Which of the following is used to describe a dependable person? A. Worth their salt. B. Old salt. C. A covenant of salt. D. The salt of the earth. 33. What can be inferred from the passage? A. The more expensive salt is the longer it takes to produce. B. Old people with hypertension must choose sodium-free food. C. Eating more salt is good for health. D. Salt imports can establish a country as an international trade power. 34. What does the underlined word “saltshaker” refer to? A. A recipe. B. A container. C. A gesture. D. A disease. 35. What is the passage mainly talking about? A. Objective knowledge of salt. B. Advice on healthier eating habits. C. Various amazing values of salt. D. Tips on reducing the health risk of salt. 【答案】32. D 33. A 34. B 35. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了盐，与其相关的俗语，不同方面具备的极高价值。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“For instance, “the salt of the earth” is used to describe a person who is dependable; (例如，“the salt of the earth”曾被用来指一个可以信赖的人)”可知，“the salt of the earth”用来描述一个可靠的人。故选D项。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Amethyst Bamboo 9x salt, which rings up at &398 a pound, may be the most expensive in the world. This pricey stuff takes a lot of time to produce — it’s roasted nine times inside a bamboo pole at temperatures over 1,400 degrees F. (紫水晶竹9x盐，每磅398美元，它可能是世界上最贵的。这种昂贵的东西需要很长时间生产——它要在超过1400华氏度的高温下，在竹枝里烤九次)”可知，价格昂贵的盐，需要耗费更多时间生产完成。故选A项。 【34题详解】 词句猜测题。根据最后一段“Consumption of too much salt can be deadly. (摄入大量的盐有可能是致命的)”和“…may raise blood pressure, causing hypertension and hurt the head. (可能使血压上升，从而导致高血压和头痛)”可知，划线词应与“盛放盐的器具”之意接近，句中的“a heavy hand with the saltshaker”经常拿起盐瓶代指大量食用盐的饮食习惯。故选B项。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Salt was so valuable in ancient Rome that soldiers were sometimes paid with it. (在古罗马，盐非常珍贵，有时候士兵们以发盐来代发工资)”和第二段“Historically, salt’s value came from its ability to preserve food.(历史上，盐的价值主要在于其保存食物的作用)”和“Salt also took on a great deal of symbolic value,(盐也有很多象征意义的价值)”可知，这篇文章主要讨论盐令人惊叹的价值。故选C项。 第二节(共5小题; 每小题2分, 满分10分) 根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项, 选项中有两项为多余选项。 Many people often find themselves waking up in the middle of the night, unusually awake and excited. ___36___ .

A 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了一些帮助你在夜里醒来后再次入睡的有效方法。 【36题详解】 空前说许多人常常发现自己半夜醒来，异常清醒和兴奋，此处承接上文，讲的是他们醒来后就再难以入睡的情况，故G项（他们在床上辗转反侧，睡不着觉）符合语境。 【37题详解】 空前说睡前不要喝东西充盈膀胱，空后又说它可能会让你睡得更快，但也可能扰乱你的睡眠，因此此处是说睡前尤其不要喝酒，故D项（最重要的是，晚上不要喝酒）符合语境。 【38题详解】 空前说当你无法入睡时，打印机和电缆盒上的LED灯可能是原因，从窗帘的缝隙射入的光线也同样如此，此处总结上文，讲的是打印机和电缆盒上的LED灯以及从窗帘的缝隙射入的光线可能会让你睡不着觉，故C项（它们可能会让你保持清醒）符合语境。 【39题详解】 空前说尝试放松的方法，比如深呼吸、冥想和正念练习，此处承接这一话题，介绍的是另一种让大脑平静下来的方法，故E项（你可以在脑子里做简单的数学题）符合语境。 40题详解】 空后说如果你早上6点半起床，凌晨3点的时候你醒了，不要想我只能睡三个小时了，相反，要这样想——我还能睡三个小时呢，这个例子说明要以积极的方式思考，故A项（以积极的方式思考）符合语境。 【点睛】在七选五的解题过程中，选项中出现的代词与上文中出现的某一（些）名词的指代关系往往是重要线索，例如本篇第3题，根据空前的“When you cannot sleep, LED lights on printers and cable boxes may be the reason. The same is true for light streaming in through cracks in curtains.”可知，当你无法入睡时，打印机和电缆盒上的LED灯可能是原因，从窗帘的缝隙射入的光线也同样如此，空处总结上文，讲的是打印机和电缆盒上的LED灯以及从窗帘的缝隙射入的光线可能会让你睡不着觉，C项中的They指代的就是前面提到的打印机和电缆盒上的LED灯以及从窗帘的缝隙射入的光线，故C项（它们可能会让你保持清醒）符合语境。 第三部分英语知识运用(共两节, 满分30分) 第一节(共15小题; 每小题1分, 满分15分) 阅读下面短文, 从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Our ancient nomadic (游牧的) ancestor would often sing or dance to show others where to find food.

I always felt it a pity that I would never have a chance to know what grandparents’ “spoiling” love would be like. My dad is a truck driver, and when I was little, he was gone most of the time, delivering wire and other supplies around the Midwest. My mom is a devoted teacher, always busy switching between looking after her only child and her many students. We lived in a small house in Brighton, Colorado, in a neighborhood of 1970s old houses. We moved there on my third birthday. My first memory is our neighbor Arlene handing me strawberries from her garden through a hole in the chain-link fence. She and her husband, Bill, lived next door. Arlene spent a lot of time working in the garden, and I was always talking to her from our yard. I think what drew me to Arlene and Bill is that they never got tired of listening to me. I also think Arlene saw a lot of herself in me-we were both lonely, anxious-and that may be why she always took the time to listen to me. Bill too. It was a wonderful connection. One day, my parents asked Bill and Arlene whether they’d watch me while they went out. This worked well for everyone, so it became a somewhat frequent occurrence. Arlene and Bill didn’t have kids. They had a spare room in their house, which became “my” room. I had boxes of toys and books in that room. Arlene and I would do crafts together. Bill taught me how to ride a bike and later how to fly a kite. It was his company that made father’s constant absence not so unbearable. When I was about five, I had an idea. My parents were watching TV when I spat it out, “what if I adopted Bill and Arlene as my grandparents?” 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 My parents said I could ask them tomorrow. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ From the day I adopted them I called Bill and Arlene Grandpa and Grandma. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: My parents said I could ask them tomorrow. The next day, heart pounding in my chest, I knocked on Bill and Arlene’s door, sat down in their living room and stammered out my question tentatively, “Will you guys care to be my grandparents?” At these words, they were petrified with surprise and the room fell into an awkward silence. “Maybe they are not so fond of me as I thought.” I murmured to myself, doubts crowding in on me. I was about to sneak out when my friends reached out their arms and embraced me tightly. “Of course!” they responded enthusiastically, tears of joy brimming in their eyes. From the day I adopted them, I called Bill and Arlene Grandpa and Grandma. They even went to great lengths to print out an adoption certificate, and it hung on their living room wall proudly.

To help you on your journey of self-growth and discovery, here are some free learning tools available for self-learners. Khan Academy Khan Academy is one of the most popular learning tools out there. It offers over 4,000 free courses from a huge variety of disciplines. One of the best things about the platform is that it’s available in many other languages other than English. It is a mobile app with wonderful videos to keep your learning on the go. Duolingo Speaking of learning on the go, Duolingo is also one of the most popular mobile learning apps. The app offers you the opportunity to learn a language. Flashcards, multiple-choice questions, and translation exercises help you pick up vocabulary and grammar. If you want to get started learning a new language, Duolingo can give you an excellent foundation. The Uiniversity of Oxford England’s oldest university offers over 600 online courses, sets of teaching materials, and lecture series on its open education platform. This makes it one of the most invaluable learning tools on the Internet. Unlike courses on other platforms, Oxford’s courses and lectures aren’t laid out to give introductions to broad topics. Instead, learners can deep-dive into specific attractive subjects, such as the late works of Schumann, or the performance history of Medea.

B When a woman was talkative while checking out at a Dollar General, her cashier, Emily Dunean didn’t think much of it. But she stayed attentive as the 85-year-old told her about herself. A man behind her in line noticed what was happening, too. Gerald Swindle was in a hurry to go hunting that day and was a bit annoyed with how long their conversation was going. But as Gerald waited for his turn, his attitude began to change. Not only did he conclude that hunting wasn’t more important than their conversation, but found himself captivated by what the elderly woman said once he stopped to listen. “You were patient with this lady,” Gerald later said in a video recalling what had happened. “You did nothing but followed her conversation, listening to every word she said, and never rushing her.” He added, “You showed me what people ought to be. Sometimes it might be the only person they talk to this week. You inspired me and sometimes I need that, so I appreciate it.” Since posting the video online, it’s become popular with nearly 2 million views! “I never expected this to come about because it was just a regular day for me. I was just doing my job,” Emily said. As the comment section quickly filled with others sharing how inspired they felt by Emily’s kindness, higher-ups at Dollar General heard of the story. One day, members from the company’s leadership team showed up to her store and presented her with flower, and a $1,000 donation to a local elementary school. Best of all, that elderly woman has since come back to the store several times, and the two of them are becoming quite close. “What I’ve learned is so amazing—you can have an effect on people just by being yourself, working at the Dollar General,” she said. 24. How did Gerald act at the talk between Emily and the customer at first? A. He listened with full attention. B. He focused on his own hunting. C. He felt lucky to be not talkative. D. He felt disturbed at the long talk. 25. What does the underlined word “captivated” mean in Paragraph 2? A Stuck. B. Angered. C. Inspired. D. Attracted. 26. What was the post about? A. What patience Emily showed to the customer. B. Why Dollar General became popular online. C. How Gerald dealt with the customer attentively. D. How Emily was praised by her company leader. 27. What did Emily learn from the story? A. Caring for the old can bring benefit to us. B. Listening to people is a skill to be mastered. C. It’s sometimes easy to influence other people. D. Being a cashier is a good way for connection. C Scientists have long sought to prevent sharp memories from dulling with age, but the problem is hard to solve. New research suggests Virtual Reality (VR) might help older people recall facts and events based on specific details. The study involved 42 healthy older adults from the San Francisco Bay Area. Half spent a dozen hours over four weeks playing a virtual-reality game called Labyrinth. They wore headsets and walked in place, wandering virtual neighborhoods while completing missions. The other half, in the control group, used computers to play games that did not require navigationg (导航) or recalling details. After 15 sessions, the latter performed much the same as before on a long-term memory test based on picking out objects they had seen about an hour earlier. But the Labyrinth players’ scores rose, and they were less frequently tricked by objects that were similar to ones they had viewed. “The improvement brought them back up to the level of another group of younger adults who did the same memory tests,” said cognitive neuroscientist Peter Wais of the University of California, San Francisco. He and his colleagues designed the VR game, which they say likely stimulates (刺激) the hippocampus—— a brain area that is important for long-term memory. The team did not observe improvement on two other tests, which measured autobiographical memory (自传体记忆) and spatial memory capability. “It would be great to actually follow people over time and see what this type of game does for long-term memory,” said Meredith Thompson, a Massachusetts Institute of Technology education researcher. Daniel Simons, a cognitive psychologist, said that testing three measures, instead of just one, would increase the possibility of finding an improvement. And it remains unclear how test performance in a laboratory setting might translate to real-world situations. Simons notes, “The outcome needs to be repeated, ideally with a much larger group, before it is treated as a strong finding.” Wais’s team is now investigating how long the observed effects last and which elements of the training have the most impact. 28. What does the study show? A. Human memories get worse as they age. B. The elderly are weak in observing details. C. VR may improve the memory of the elderly. D. VR games are more popular among the aged. 29. What can we infer from paragraph 3? A. VR games make people feel younger. B. Good memory skills depend on long-term training. C. VR games do not work in all types of memory tests. D. The elderly score higher than younger adults in the tests. 30. What is Daniel Simons’ attitude to the outcome of the study? A. Cautious B. Supportive C. Ambiguous D. Disapproving 31. Where can we probably read this text? A. In a scientific report. B. In a health magazine. C. In a fiction novel. D. In a medical journal. D Salt was so valuable in ancient Rome that soldiers were sometimes paid with it. In fact, the word salary comes from the Latin word sal, for salt. When a soldier was doing an awful job, his paycheck might be cut, which is how we got the expression “not worth his salt.” Salt can still he valuable today. Amethyst Bamboo 9x salt, which rings up at &398 a pound, may be the most expensive in the world. This pricey stuff takes a lot of time to produce — it’s roasted nine times inside a bamboo pole at temperatures over 1,400 degrees F. Historically, salt’s value came from its ability to preserve food. Venice, Italy, may be famous for its canals now, but salt imports helped its rise as an important trade power by the end of the 13th century. Salt also took on a great deal of symbolic value, like “old salt” referring to an experienced sailor. Salt is mentioned so many times in the Bible. For instance, “the salt of the earth” is used to describe a person who is dependable; “a covenant of salt” means a firm promise. Most people know about the health risks associated with sodium (钠), but reducing your intake isn’t always easy. Even foods that don’t taste salty may contain it. If you are looking for sodium-free flavoring, try garlic, pepper, rosemary and other spices or herbs. Still, we all need at least some salt. It promotes the transport of nutrients and oxygen, allows nerves to send messages, and helps our muscle work. The average adult’s body contains about 250 grams of sodium. Consumption of too much salt can be deadly. For older folks especially, a heavy hand with the saltshaker may raise blood pressure, causing hypertension and hurt the head. A study of 975 people between the ages of 60 to 80 and with high blood pressure found that reducing sodium in their diets was associated with lower risk of headache. 32. Which of the following is used to describe a dependable person? A. Worth their salt. B. Old salt. C. A covenant of salt. D. The salt of the earth. 33. What can be inferred from the passage? A. The more expensive salt is, the longer it takes to produce. B. Old people with hypertension must choose sodium-free food. C. Eating more salt is good for health. D. Salt imports can establish a country as an international trade power. 34. What does the underlined word “saltshaker” refer to? A. A recipe. B. A container. C. A gesture. D. A disease. 35. What is the passage mainly talking about? A. Objective knowledge of salt. B. Advice on healthier eating habits. C. Various amazing values of salt. D. Tips on reducing the health risk of salt. 第二节(共5小题; 每小题2分, 满分10分) 根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项, 选项中有两项为多余选项。 Many people often find themselves waking up in the middle of the night, unusually awake and excited. ___36___ .

I always felt it a pity that I would never have a chance to know what grandparents’ “spoiling” love would be like. My dad is a truck driver, and when I was little, he was gone most of the time, delivering wire and other supplies around the Midwest. My mom is a devoted teacher, always busy switching between looking after her only child and her many students. We lived in a small house in Brighton, Colorado, in a neighborhood of 1970s old houses. We moved there on my third birthday. My first memory is our neighbor Arlene handing me strawberries from her garden through a hole in the chain-link fence. She and her husband, Bill, lived next door. Arlene spent a lot of time working in the garden, and I was always talking to her from our yard. I think what drew me to Arlene and Bill is that they never got tired of listening to me. I also think Arlene saw a lot of herself in me-we were both lonely, anxious-and that may be why she always took the time to listen to me. Bill too. It was a wonderful connection. One day, my parents asked Bill and Arlene whether they’d watch me while they went out. This worked well for everyone, so it became a somewhat frequent occurrence. Arlene and Bill didn’t have kids. They had a spare room in their house, which became “my” room. I had boxes of toys and books in that room. Arlene and I would do crafts together. Bill taught me how to ride a bike and later how to fly a kite. It was his company that made father’s constant absence not so unbearable. When I was about five, I had an idea. My parents were watching TV when I spat it out, “what if I adopted Bill and Arlene as my grandparents?” 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 My parents said I could ask them tomorrow. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ From the day I adopted them, I called Bill and Arlene Grandpa and Grandma. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
