Sheets, pillowcases, and mattresses can harbor dirt, germs and allergens (过敏原) that affect our skin and overall health. But what’s the sweet spot for washing frequency? Our website asked experts to share their preferred intervals (间隔) and tips on how to do it well. Pillowcases Pillowcases are the landing pad for your skin, hair and all the oils and dirt carried with them. It is recommended that pillowcases should be washed at least once a week. People who have sensitive skin or allergies often benefit from a more frequent routine, like every three to four days. To help clean cases last longer, shower before bed. And don’t forget your pillows: washing them once per season is the sweet spot. Sheets At a minimum you should wash your sheets once a week. But a variety of factors call for more frequent washing. One is the summer heat, since sweat “can lead to bacteria and odor on our sheets.” Plus, allergens like pollen can travel inside with you, so washing more frequently can help reduce symptoms. Mattresses Every time you strip the bedding, let the mattress breathe for a bit rather than immediately putting on a new set of sheets. “Leave it for a few hours with some windows open.” Still air and covered mattresses encourage dust mites and allergens to thrive. Vacuum (用吸尘器吸) it two to three times a year. If it smells, sprinkle on a thin layer of baking soda, let it sit for a few hours. And then vacuum it up. 1. Which of the following bedding is advised to be cleaned once per season? A. Pillowcases. B. Pillows. C. Sheets. D. Mattresses. 2. Which is a proper way to clean the mattress? A. Exposing it to fresh air for a few minutes. B. Vacuuming it up before spraying baking soda. C. Removing the bedding and leaving it for a while. D. Placing new sheets instantly when making the bed. 3. Where is the text probably taken from? A. A lifestyle website. B. A health magazine. C. A medical journal. D. A product handbook. B Each fall, the California coast welcomes large numbers of North America’s monarch butterflies(黑脉金斑蝶). In the past, millions of the brightly colored insects gathered in groups of California trees to spend the winter. But over the last few decades, the number of these monarchs has fallen sharply. Poisoning may partly explain this loss, a new study finds. People use pesticides(杀虫剂) to kill off different types of pests and weeds(害虫和杂草).Pesticides can also poison non-pests. Scientists had worried that such pollutants might be harming monarchs. But no one knew how much risk these insects faced. To find out, a team of scientists focused on California’s Central Valley. It’s home to cities,towns and natural areas; it is also an important place for the monarchs to give birth. The researchers sampled (取样) more than 200 milkweed plants across the valley, which monarch caterpillars(幼虫) only feed on. They recognized 64 different pesticides on their samples. The average plant contained nine. Some had as many as 25. Nearly one in every three of the plants had pesticide levels known to be deadly to monarchs. “We were surprised that we found pesticides in all of the samples,” says Sarah Hoyle, a pesticide expert. “Everywhere we looked — home gardens, parks, agricultural lands, wildlife reserves — pesticides were present.” The highest levels of pesticides were found on milkweeds for sale at garden stores. Garden stores want their plants to look attractive, Hoyle notes, and “one way to help with this is to use chemicals.” But people who buy milkweed plants often don’t know they have been treated with pesticides. Of course, pesticides are unlikely to be the only cause for the monarchs’ decrease, Hoyle notes. Both habitat(栖息地) loss and climate change also could present risks. However, the new findings point to the need for stronger action to limit pesticide pollution, Hoyle argues. Many people are planting milkweed plants to feed monarch caterpillars. It now appears necessary to ask garden stores if their plants were grown without the use of long-lasting pesticides, she says. That way your gardens can host milkweeds without accidentally harming monarch caterpillars. 4. What should be responsible for the monarchs’ decrease according to the study? A. The use of chemicals. B. Extreme weather. C. Wildfires in California. D. Reduction of food resources. 5. What do we know about milkweed plants? A. They mainly grow in the valleys of California. B. They play a key role in the life circle of monarchs. C. They are very popular with people who love gardening. D. They are used by researchers to feed monarch caterpillars. 6. Which milkweeds may have the most harmful effects on monarchs? A. Those in parks. B. Those at garden stores. C. Those in wildlife reserves D. Those on agricultural lands. 7. What is Sarah Hoyle’s advice for people? A. Not using pesticides in their fields. B. Planting more flowers in their gardens. C. Not buying milk weeds from garden stores. D. Managing to grow pesticide-free milkweeds. C Honey is a sweet treat that most people take for granted. But it is more than just a topping for cakes or a sweetener for tea. It’s a miracle of sorts. Honey is the only food product made by an insect that humans eat. Even with all our technical abilities, no one has figured out how to make artificial honey. There’s really no substitute (替代品). A single pound of honey may require a beehive of up to 60,000 bees to visit two million flowers. No wonder some people call it liquid gold! Although amber-colored clover honey tends to be most common, honey comes in a variety of shades and flavors, depending on the flowers that the bees gather nectar (花蜜) from. Honey has been used throughout history in a number of ways. One of the most remarkable things about it is that it never goes bad. It may crystallize, meaning that it becomes solid in parts, but simply warming it slightly will melt the crystals and return the honey to its liquid form. No one knows exactly how long honey has been used by humans, but Spanish cave paintings dated at 7,000BC show early evidence of beckeeping. Honey was also used by the ancient Egyptians as a sweetener, as a gift to the gods, and even as an element used to create mummies. Honey has been found inside the Egyptian pyramids, and although that honey was more than 3,000 years old, it would still taste like honey and be safe to eat. No other food has such lasting power! Besides its many uses as a sweetener, honey has long been used as a medicinal remedy (疗法). Because it’s difficult for any kind of bacteria (细菌) to survive in honey, it makes a perfect barrier on cuts and can prevent infection. Honey is also an effective remedy to relieve a painful throat. It has even been found to be as effective in easing coughs in children. The next time a bee flies through your garden or you spread some honey on a piece of toast, think about the miracle of honey. 8. According to the passage, what makes honey unique among the foods that humans eat? A. Its various shades. B. Its natural creation. C Its delightful sweetness. D. Its remarkable history. 9 Why does the author mention the honey in the Egyptian pyramids? A. To illustrate that it never goes bad. B. To show the cleverness of Egyptians. C. To compare it with the honey in Spain. D. To inform that it originates from Egypt. 10. What is one of the medicinal uses of honey? A. Promoting bacterial growth. B. Curing throat pain. C. Preventing infection in wounds. D. Resisting common colds. 11. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Honey: a Sweet Miracle of Nature B. Honey: a Timeless Treasure C. Honey: a Natural Medicinal Remedy D. Honey: a Common Sweetener D Albert Einstein owed his brilliant mind to having a child-like sense of humour. Indeed, a number of studies have found an association between humour and intelligence. Researchers in Austria recently discovered that funny people, particularly those who enjoy dark humour, have higher IQs than their less funny fellows. They argue that it takes both cognitive (认知) and emotional ability to process and produce humour. Their analysis shows that funny people have higher intelligence, and they score lower in mood disturbance (忧虑) and aggressiveness (攻击性). In psychology we use the term “positive humour style” to refer to people who use humour to enhance relationships and reduce conflict. This type of humour is associated with relationship satisfaction, extroversion (外向性) and high self-respect. Having a humorous outlook on life is also a good coping strategy. It helps people better manage stress and challenges. Not only do funny people make other people laugh, they also laugh more themselves. And laughter leads to brain changes, which may explain the link between humour and intelligence. Neuropsychological studies have found that experiencing positive emotional states, such as joy, fun and happiness, increases the production of dopamine (多巴胺) in the brain. Dopamine not only make us feel great, it also opens up the learning centres of the brain, which enables and sustains more neural (神经) connections. As a result, we become more flexible and creative in our thinking, and better at solving problems. It also boosts our working memory. Evidence suggests that humour actually bolster feelings of confidence, competence and status, making funny people very influential. Humour gets people to listen, helps communicate messages and aids learning. It is a powerful tool that many successful leaders use to enhance group work and organizational culture. Studies of positive organizations suggest the more fun we have at work the more productive we are, and the less likely we are to suffer burn-out. Research on the use of humour in education also supports the concept that humour is an effective aid to learning. Several studies have demonstrated that lessons that are delivered with humour are more enjoyable for students, and also enhance students comprehension and recall of the topic. 12. What can we learn from the researchers in Austria? A. People enjoy dark humour most. B. Less funny people are aggressive. C. Funny people are always emotional. D. Humorous people have a brilliant mind. 13. What does the author intend to show in Paragraph 3? A. The benefit of laughter. B. The reason of our brain changes. C. The way of being creative in thinking. D. The association of humor and intelligence. 14. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “bolster”? A. Combine. B. Increase. C. Explain. D. Damage. 15. What can be concluded from the research in education? A. Teachers are always humorous in class. B. Students can understand humour better in class. C. Humorous classes are more efficient for students. D. Effective learning depends on students’ humour levels. 第二节 七选五(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Emotions can shape us in different ways. ___16___ Taking responsibility of your emotions is how you stand out from the crowd. Let’s explore some powerful strategies to help you on this journey. •Accept others as hey are ___17___ Keeping that in mind, remember you cannot change others. Even if you try changing others, you will only be hurting yourself in the process. The best course of action would be to change yourself.

When your feelings are hurt. it’s good to voice it straightforward. ___18___ The best way to do this is by using “I” statements.

However, in over 70% of cases, we let them take hold and this is completely wrong. Whenever the other person is behaving in an upsetting manner, ask yourself if you have done anything to make them feel like that. Self-reflection helps you respond thoughtfully rather than letting emotions take control. •Mind your words and actions.

In the past, millions of the brightly colored insects gathered in groups of California trees to spend the winter. But over the last few decades, the number of these monarchs has fallen sharply. Poisoning may partly explain this loss, a new study finds. People use pesticides(杀虫剂) to kill off different types of pests and weeds(害虫和杂草).Pesticides can also poison non-pests. Scientists had worried that such pollutants might be harming monarchs. But no one knew how much risk these insects faced. To find out, a team of scientists focused on California’s Central Valley. It’s home to cities,towns and natural areas; it is also an important place for the monarchs to give birth. The researchers sampled (取样) more than 200 milkweed plants across the valley, which monarch caterpillars(幼虫) only feed on. They recognized 64 different pesticides on their samples. The average plant contained nine. Some had as many as 25. Nearly one in every three of the plants had pesticide levels known to be deadly to monarchs. “We were surprised that we found pesticides in all of the samples,” says Sarah Hoyle, a pesticide expert. “Everywhere we looked — home gardens, parks, agricultural lands, wildlife reserves — pesticides were present.” The highest levels of pesticides were found on milkweeds for sale at garden stores. Garden stores want their plants to look attractive, Hoyle notes, and “one way to help with this is to use chemicals.” But people who buy milkweed plants often don’t know they have been treated with pesticides. Of course, pesticides are unlikely to be the only cause for the monarchs’ decrease, Hoyle notes. Both habitat(栖息地) loss and climate change also could present risks. However, the new findings point to the need for stronger action to limit pesticide pollution, Hoyle argues. Many people are planting milkweed plants to feed monarch caterpillars. It now appears necessary to ask garden stores if their plants were grown without the use of long-lasting pesticides, she says. That way your gardens can host milkweeds without accidentally harming monarch caterpillars. 4. What should be responsible for the monarchs’ decrease according to the study? A. The use of chemicals. B. Extreme weather. C. Wildfires in California. D. Reduction of food resources. 5. What do we know about milkweed plants? A. They mainly grow in the valleys of California. B. They play a key role in the life circle of monarchs. C. They are very popular with people who love gardening. D. They are used by researchers to feed monarch caterpillars. 6. Which milkweeds may have the most harmful effects on monarchs? A. Those in parks. B. Those at garden stores. C. Those in wildlife reserves D. Those on agricultural lands. 7. What is Sarah Hoyle’s advice for people? A. Not using pesticides in their fields. B. Planting more flowers in their gardens. C. Not buying milk weeds from garden stores. D. Managing to grow pesticide-free milkweeds. 【答案】4. A 5. B 6. B 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了加利福尼亚黑脉金斑蝶数量锐减的原因，研究发现这可能与杀虫剂的使用有关，并且提出了保护黑脉金斑蝶的一些建议。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Nearly one in every three of the plants had pesticide levels known to be deadly to monarchs.(几乎三分之一的植物中杀虫剂水平已知对黑脉金斑蝶是致命的)”可知，化学药品的使用是导致黑脉金斑蝶数量减少的原因之一。故选A。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“The researchers sampled (取样) more than 200 milkweed plants across the valley, which monarch caterpillars (幼虫) only feed on.(研究人员在山谷中取样了200多株乳草植物，黑脉金斑蝶幼虫仅以此为食)”可知，乳草在黑脉金斑蝶的生命周期中起着重要作用。故选B。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第五段“The highest levels of pesticides were found on milkweeds for sale at garden stores.(在园艺商店出售的乳草中发现了最高水平的杀虫剂)”可知，在园艺商店的乳草可能对黑脉金斑蝶有最有害的影响。故选B。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“It now appears necessary to ask garden stores if their plants were grown without the use of long-lasting pesticides, she says. That way your gardens can host milkweeds without accidentally harming monarch caterpillars.(她说，现在似乎有必要询问园艺商店，他们的植物是否在没有使用长效杀虫剂的情况下种植。这样你的花园就可以容纳乳草，而不会意外伤害黑脉金斑蝶的幼虫)”可知，Sarah Hoyle建议人们设法种植不含杀虫剂的乳草。故选D。 C Honey is a sweet treat that most people take for granted. But it is more than just a topping for cakes or a sweetener for tea. It’s a miracle of sorts. Honey is the only food product made by an insect that humans eat. Even with all our technical abilities, no one has figured out how to make artificial honey. There’s really no substitute (替代品). A single pound of honey may require a beehive of up to 60,000 bees to visit two million flowers. No wonder some people call it liquid gold! Although amber-colored clover honey tends to be most common, honey comes in a variety of shades and flavors, depending on the flowers that the bees gather nectar (花蜜) from. Honey has been used throughout history in a number of ways. One of the most remarkable things about it is that it never goes bad. It may crystallize, meaning that it becomes solid in parts, but simply warming it slightly will melt the crystals and return the honey to its liquid form. No one knows exactly how long honey has been used by humans, but Spanish cave paintings dated at 7,000BC show early evidence of beckeeping. Honey was also used by the ancient Egyptians as a sweetener, as a gift to the gods, and even as an element used to create mummies. Honey has been found inside the Egyptian pyramids, and although that honey was more than 3,000 years old, it would still taste like honey and be safe to eat. No other food has such lasting power! Besides its many uses as a sweetener, honey has long been used as a medicinal remedy (疗法). Because it’s difficult for any kind of bacteria (细菌) to survive in honey, it makes a perfect barrier on cuts and can prevent infection. Honey is also an effective remedy to relieve a painful throat. It has even been found to be as effective in easing coughs in children. The next time a bee flies through your garden or you spread some honey on a piece of toast, think about the miracle of honey. 8. According to the passage, what makes honey unique among the foods that humans eat? A. Its various shades. B. Its natural creation. C. Its delightful sweetness. D. Its remarkable history. 9. Why does the author mention the honey in the Egyptian pyramids? A. To illustrate that it never goes bad. B. To show the cleverness of Egyptians. C. To compare it with the honey in Spain. D. To inform that it originates from Egypt. 10. What is one of the medicinal uses of honey? A. Promoting bacterial growth. B. Curing throat pain. C. Preventing infection in wounds. D. Resisting common colds. 11. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Honey: a Sweet Miracle of Nature B. Honey: a Timeless Treasure C. Honey: a Natural Medicinal Remedy D. Honey: a Common Sweetener 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述了蜂蜜不只是一种常见的甜味剂，更是一种堪称奇迹的自然产物。通过介绍蜂蜜是由昆虫制造的唯一性、获取过程的不易、在历史长河中的多样用途以及在医学方面的诸多功效等内容，突出强调了蜂蜜的独特价值，呼吁人们重新认识并重视蜂蜜这种来自大自然的“甜蜜奇迹”。 【8题详解】 细节理解题，根据第二段“Honey is the only food product that humans cat that is made by an insect. Even with all our technical abilities, no one has figured out how to make artificial honey. There’s really no substitute (替代品). (蜂蜜是人类食用的唯一一种由昆虫制造的食品。即使我们拥有所有的技术能力，也没有人想出如何制造人造蜂蜜。真的没有替代品。)”可知，蜂蜜是人类食用的唯一由昆虫制造的食物产品，这是它在人类所食用的食物中独一无二的地方，即它的天然形成方式。故选B项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中“Honey was also used by the ancient Egyptians as a sweetener, as a gift to the gods, and even as an element used to create mummies. Honey has been found inside the Egyptian pyramids, and although that honey was more than 3,000 years old, it would still taste like honey and be safe to eat. No other food has such lasting power! (蜂蜜也被古埃及人用作甜味剂、送给神的礼物，甚至用作制作木乃伊的元素。在埃及金字塔内发现了蜂蜜，虽然这种蜂蜜已有3,000多年的历史，但它的味道仍然像蜂蜜，可以安全食用。没有其他食物具有如此持久的力量！)”可知，作者提到埃及金字塔里的蜂蜜是为了说明蜂蜜不会变质的这一特性，即便过了三千多年，它尝起来还是蜂蜜的味道且能安全食用，其他食物没有这种持久的特性。故选A项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段中“Because it’s difficult for any kind of bacteria (细菌) to survive in honey, it makes a perfect barrier on cuts and can prevent infection. (因为任何种类的细菌都很难在蜂蜜中生存，所以它在切口上形成了完美的屏障，可以防止感染。)”可知，蜂蜜的药用用途之一是它能在伤口上形成一道屏障，防止感染。故选C项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Honey is a sweet treat that most people take for granted. But it is more than just a topping for cakes or a sweetener for tea. It’s a miracle of sorts. (蜂蜜是一种大多数人认为理所当然的甜食。但它不仅仅是蛋糕的配料或茶的甜味剂。它在某种程度上是一个奇迹。)”可知，蜂蜜不只是人们习以为常的用于蛋糕或茶的东西，而是一种奇迹般的存在，结合最后一段“The next time a bee flies through your garden or you spread some honey on a piece of toast, think about the miracle of honey. (下次蜜蜂飞过您的花园或您在吐司上涂抹一些蜂蜜时，想想蜂蜜的奇迹。)”再次呼吁人们在看到蜜蜂或食用蜂蜜时思考蜂蜜的奇迹之处。综合全文，都是围绕蜂蜜是大自然赋予的一种甜蜜奇迹来展开叙述的，A项“Honey: a Sweet Miracle of Nature”最能概括文章主旨。故选A项。 D Albert Einstein owed his brilliant mind to having a child-like sense of humour. Indeed, a number of studies have found an association between humour and intelligence. Researchers in Austria recently discovered that funny people, particularly those who enjoy dark humour, have higher IQs than their less funny fellows. They argue that it takes both cognitive (认知) and emotional ability to process and produce humour. Their analysis shows that funny people have higher intelligence, and they score lower in mood disturbance (忧虑) and aggressiveness (攻击性). In psychology we use the term “positive humour style” to refer to people who use humour to enhance relationships and reduce conflict. This type of humour is associated with relationship satisfaction, extroversion (外向性) and high self-respect. Having a humorous outlook on life is also a good coping strategy. It helps people better manage stress and challenges. Not only do funny people make other people laugh, they also laugh more themselves. And laughter leads to brain changes, which may explain the link between humour and intelligence. Neuropsychological studies have found that experiencing positive emotional states, such as joy, fun and happiness, increases the production of dopamine (多巴胺) in the brain. Dopamine not only make us feel great, it also opens up the learning centres of the brain, which enables and sustains more neural (神经) connections. As a result, we become more flexible and creative in our thinking, and better at solving problems. It also boosts our working memory. Evidence suggests that humour actually bolster feelings of confidence, competence and status, making funny people very influential. Humour gets people to listen, helps communicate messages and aids learning. It is a powerful tool that many successful leaders use to enhance group work and organizational culture. Studies of positive organizations suggest the more fun we have at work the more productive we are, and the less likely we are to suffer burn-out. Research on the use of humour in education also supports the concept that humour is an effective aid to learning. Several studies have demonstrated that lessons that are delivered with humour are more enjoyable for students, and also enhance students comprehension and recall of the topic. 12. What can we learn from the researchers in Austria? A. People enjoy dark humour most. B. Less funny people are aggressive. C. Funny people are always emotional. D. Humorous people have a brilliant mind. 13. What does the author intend to show in Paragraph 3? A. The benefit of laughter. B. The reason of our brain changes. C. The way of being creative in thinking. D. The association of humor and intelligence. 14. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “bolster”? A. Combine. B. Increase. C. Explain. D. Damage. 15. What can be concluded from the research in education? A. Teachers are always humorous in class. B. Students can understand humour better in class. C. Humorous classes are more efficient for students. D. Effective learning depends on students’ humour levels. 【答案】12. D 13. D 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了幽默与智力的联系，阐述了幽默带来的好处，如有助于处理压力、提升思维能力等，还提及幽默在教育和组织中的积极作用。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Researchers in Austria recently discovered that funny people, particularly those who enjoy dark humour, have higher IQs than their less funny fellows. (奥地利的研究人员最近发现，有趣的人，尤其是那些喜欢黑色幽默的人，比那些不太有趣的人智商更高)”可知，奥地利的研究人员发现幽默的人智商更高，也就意味着有更聪明的头脑。故选D项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Not only do funny people make other people laugh, they also laugh more themselves. And laughter leads to brain changes, which may explain the link between humour and intelligence. (有趣的人不仅能让别人发笑，他们自己也笑得更多。而笑会导致大脑发生变化，这可能解释了幽默和智力之间的联系)”可知，作者在第三段主要是通过阐述笑带来的大脑变化，来表明幽默和智力之间的联系。故选D项。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段中“Evidence suggests that humour actually bolster feelings of confidence, competence and status, making funny people very influential. (有证据表明，幽默实际上能……自信、能力和地位的感觉，使有趣的人非常有影响力)”以及后文提到幽默带来的积极影响可推知，幽默能增加这些积极的感觉。“bolster”意思是“增加”，与“increase”同义。故选B项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Research on the use of humour in education also supports the concept that humour is an effective aid to learning. Several studies have demonstrated that lessons that are delivered with humour are more enjoyable for students, and also enhance students comprehension and recall of the topic. (关于幽默在教育中的应用研究也支持这样一个观点，即幽默是一种有效的学习辅助工具。几项研究表明，用幽默方式授课的课程对学生来说更有趣，也能提高学生对主题的理解和记忆)”可知，幽默是一种有效的学习辅助工具，能提高学生对主题的理解和记忆，所以幽默的课堂对学生来说更有效率。故选C项。 第二节 七选五(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Emotions can shape us in different ways. ___16___ Taking responsibility of your emotions is how you stand out from the crowd.
