How long does it take to type without looking at the keyboard?
An average student without learning differences will learn to touch type within eight to ten hours. They may be touch typing at a very slow speed (8-15 words per minute).
Is it bad to look at the keyboard when typing?
Yes. Not only does it prevent you from practicing your fingering, but it also slows you down and makes you type less accurately. It's far more difficult to notice mistakes when you're not looking at the screen.
How do you get faster at typing?
The most important technique to learn to type faster is touch typing. This is a technique based on developing muscle memory for your fingers.
How can I learn to type correctly?
Focus on accuracy rather than speed. Use the entire keyboard correctly. Learn some keyboard shortcuts. Practice every day.
How do I increase my typing speed?
Arrange your fingers properly. The most important step in improving your typing speed is ensuring that you place your fingers correctly on the keyboard. Rest the index finger (食指) of your left hand on the “F” key and the index finger of your right hand on the “J” key.

Mary Dickins had been a member of the audience at poetry nights before and knew “the poetry clap”. She made a polite tapping of fingers. But when she made her debut (首次演出) as a performer at the age of 62 at the legendary Bang Said the Gun night in south London, she said, “It was so wild — like nothing I had ever seen before.” The audience stamped their feet and shook shakers. “It felt transformative. I thought, ‘I’ve got to have more of this,’ ” Dickins said. Becoming a performance poet has given her a place on a stage of her own making.
All her life she has written is mostly without being seen or heard. Her mother died when she was nine, and, after she went into a care home at 13, Dickins’ writing stayed in notebooks. Really, she says, a lot of her adult life has been about getting over childhood shyness. At university — she studied education — she met her husband of 40 years, but in three years of seminars she did not say a word. Some of these results from her years at the children’s home. She says, “It gave me a sense of what it’s like to be excluded. I never fitted in anywhere.”
After she graduated, she discovered that she loved working with people with learning disabilities. She became an expert in inclusive education. “That was my niche (称心的职业),” she says. She published books and returned to the University of North London as a senior lecturer in early childhood studies.
Dickins now sees that in adulthood she has been giving herself permission to be silly. “The sillier I allow myself to be, the better the writing is,” she says. Her observations are humorous.
“Putting things into words and giving shape to your emotions is an important part of coming to terms with the things that happen in life,” she says.
Does she still feel like an outsider?
“I think I’ve made it into a virtue. I celebrate the fact that I don’t fit into a box. Finally! You have to wait till you’re 62 to feel confident!” she says. “But I have a sense of who I am and I’m proud of it. I wouldn’t be anyone else now — and it took me a long time to say that.”
44. How did Dickins feel about her debut?
A. Nervous. B. Anxious. C. Encouraged. D. Relieved.
45. Why was Dickins lacking in a sense of belonging?
A. Her early stay at the care home.
B. Her inexperienced writing skills.
C. Her struggle with her university studies.
D. Her poor relationship with her husband.
46. How does writing benefit Dickins?
A. It helps her land a good job.
B. It develops her sense of humor.
C. It makes her overcome her learning disabilities.
D. It enables her to get on well with her life.
47. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A Mary Dickins’ First Performance
B. Mary Dickins’ New Start after 60
C. Mary Dickins’ Troubled Writing Career
D. Mary Dickins’ Influence on Performance Poets
C
As AI art generators (生成器) take the world by storm, some people wonder if their works should count as art at all. The technology is still developing and has some wrinkles to iron out, which means there are indeed flaws to consider alongside the incredible artwork a good artificial intelligence can produce.
Art is classed as the product of imagination, skill, experience, and emotion, usually meant to represent something for the public to enjoy. Artists spent time and effort putting their inner worlds onto these works. Machine intelligence also puts a lot of work into sorting through tons of data, linking someone’s prompt to datasets, and trying to represent it as best as possible. The difference is that the AI is driven by commands instead of an emotional desire to express itself.
AI painters can produce over 1,000 original works of art with every tap of the enter key on a keyboard. But a mass-produced print of the Mona Lisa is worth less than the actual Leonardo da Vinci’s painting. Why? Scarcity — there’s only one of the original. Should anyone pay for these things? And if an artist puts AI masterpieces up for sale, what should the price be?
AI art involves a program mimicking (模仿) the work of existing artists to create a new piece according to the request of a human. But who made the artwork, the machine or its user? And can the original artists sue for copyright (版权) violation? Such questions complicate the merging of artificial intelligence and the art industry, while fueling arguments against recognizing AI-generated art as marketable artistic products.
Once we’ve answered those questions, we can tackle the really big one: When an AI-generated painting wins an award, who gets the prize?
48. What does the underlined word "flaws" in paragraph 1 probably mean?
A. Benefits. B. Advances. C. Weaknesses. D. Standards.
49. How is AI art different from human art?
A. It is the product of experience. B. It costs less money to produce.
C. It combines different styles of work. D. It is not a mirror of humans’ emotions.
50. Why does the writer mention Mona Lisa in the third paragraph?
A. To prove the popularity of classic artworks.
B. To present the potential trouble with the value of AI art.
C. To show the advantages of AI painters over human artists.
D. To introduce a new way of preserving art masterpieces.
51. What can we infer from paragraph 4?
A AI art promotes the sale of artistic products.
B AI art makes copyright issues more complicated.
C. Artists can create more works with the help of AI.
D. There will be fierce competition in the art industry.
D
Any schoolchild knows that a whale breathes through its blowhole. Fewer know that a blowhole is a nostril (鼻孔) slightly changed by evolution into a form more useful for a mammal that spends its life at sea. And only a dedicated expert would know that while toothed whales, such as sperm whales, have one hole, baleen whales, such as humpback and Rice’s whales, have two.
Even among the baleen whales, the placing of those nostrils differs. In some species, they are close together. In others, they are much further apart. In a paper published in Biology Letters Conor Ryan, a marine biologist at the Scottish Association for Marine Science, suggests why that might be. Having two nostrils, he argues, helps whales smell in stereo (立体空间).
Many types of baleen whales eat tiny animals known as zooplankton (浮游动物), which they catch by filtering them from seawater using the sheets of fibrous baleen that have replaced teeth in their mouths. But to eat something you first have to find it. Toothed whales do not hunt by scent. In fact, the olfactory (嗅觉的) bulb (球状物) — the part of the brain that processes smell — is absent in such creatures. But baleen whales still have olfactory bulbs, which suggests smell remains important. And scent can indeed give zooplankton away. Zooplankton like to eat other tiny creatures called phytoplankton (浮游植物). When these are under attack, they release a special gas called dim-ethyl sulphide (二甲硫), which in turn attracts baleen whales.
Most animals have stereoscopic senses. Having two eyes, for instance, allows an animal to compare the images from each in order to perceive depth. Having two ears lets them locate the direction from which a sound is coming. Dr. Ryan theorized that paired blowholes might bring baleen whales the same sorts of benefits.
The farther apart the sensory organs are, the more information can be extracted by the animal that bears them. The researchers used drones to photograph the nostrils of 143 whales belonging to 14 different species. Sure enough, baleen whales that often eat zooplankton, such as the North Atlantic right whale (北大西洋露脊鲸), have nostrils that are farther apart than those, such as humpback whales (座头鲸), that eat zooplankton occasionally. Besides allowing them to breathe, it seems that some whales use their blowholes to determine in which direction dinner lies.
52. What do we know about whales’ nostrils according to the first two paragraphs?
A. They are developed merely for smell. B. They are adapted ones.
C. They are not easy to detect. D. They are not fixed universally in numbers.
53. What plays a role when baleen whales hunt zooplankton?
A. The smell that phytoplankton send. B. The teeth that baleen whales have.
C. The sound waves that zooplankton create. D. The chemical signals that zooplankton give off.
54. How is the concept of stereoscopic senses explained in paragraph 4?
A. By quoting a theory. B. By making a contrast.
C. By using examples. D. By making inferences.
55. What is the position of nostrils related to according to the last paragraph?
A. The ability to give off smells. B. The possibility to attract food.
C. The ability to communicate. D. The ability to locate food.

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。
During your teenage years, your body goes through many changes, and you may or may not like how your body develops. You start forming an image of your body. ___56___
You can develop either a positive or negative body image, depending on your mindset.
One of the major contributors of a negative body image is peer pressure. Even if you do not think you are being bullied by your group of friends, you may be laughed at casually about your appearance or you may simply notice that they seem more “perfect” than you. This can have a negative impact on your body image. ___57___ Often, an ideal body type is promoted heavily on social networks. Culture may also have a negative impact on one’s body image. If your culture values a particular body image, then that would make you unhappy if you don’t match it.
A negative body image increases the risk of unhealthy behaviors like extreme dieting, overeating, over exercising, isolation, and risky surgeries. It also lowers life satisfaction and can lead to unhappiness. ___58___
To have a more positive body image, first accept that we are all unique individuals. Imagine if everyone looked the same, the world would be a boring place. ___59___ Beauty standards keep changing all the time. What’s more, models and celebrities you see in the media may look “perfect” for the era, but, in fact, much of it is due to makeup, angles and lighting and Photoshop!
___60___ Avoid commenting on others’ looks, and you will stop criticizing yourself too. If you have peers who constantly comment about your appearance, it might be time to re-evaluate the company you keep.
Remember, your body image is simply YOUR perception (感知) of your body. This means YOU have the power to change this, even if you do not have the ability to change the perception of others.
A. Your body image is influenced by many factors.
B Another major factor is what is shown in the media.
C. It is simply how you see, think and feel about yourself.
D. More importantly, there is no such thing as a perfect body.
E. In general, the key to a positive body image is self-acceptance.
F. Also, instead of focusing on appearances, learn to value people for who they really are.
G. Over focusing on appearance can stop you from appreciating your other positive qualities.

Another day, she helped me collect____70____from our neighbors for the food bank. We____71____off the food and, as we drove away, Emily announced____72____that she wanted to work there one day.
By the last week, I knew I’d changed. At first, I hadn’t been entirely____73____that I could do a good deed every day. Now it was practically second____74____. I felt a greater responsibility to take action when I saw a need,____75____looking the other way. I felt as though I’d awakened, somehow.

阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
For decades, school education ___76___ (lay) too much emphasis on the score one gets in exams and ignored other aspects of children's ___77___ (person) development such as physical education and basic life skills.

Some complain that much of pupils' time and energy might ___82___ (occupy),but the fact is ___83___ learning practical skills is an important element in shaping a person's character.

How long does it take to type without looking at the keyboard?
An average student without learning differences will learn to touch type within eight to ten hours. They may be touch typing at a very slow speed (8-15 words per minute).
Is it bad to look at the keyboard when typing?
Yes. Not only does it prevent you from practicing your fingering, but it also slows you down and makes you type less accurately. It's far more difficult to notice mistakes when you're not looking at the screen.
How do you get faster at typing?
The most important technique to learn to type faster is touch typing. This is a technique based on developing muscle memory for your fingers.
How can I learn to type correctly?
Focus on accuracy rather than speed. Use the entire keyboard correctly. Learn some keyboard shortcuts. Practice every day.
How do I increase my typing speed?
Arrange your fingers properly. The most important step in improving your typing speed is ensuring that you place your fingers correctly on the keyboard. Rest the index finger (食指) of your left hand on the “F” key and the index finger of your right hand on the “J” key.

Mary Dickins had been a member of the audience at poetry nights before and knew “the poetry clap”. She made a polite tapping of fingers. But when she made her debut (首次演出) as a performer at the age of 62 at the legendary Bang Said the Gun night in south London, she said, “It was so wild — like nothing I had ever seen before.” The audience stamped their feet and shook shakers. “It felt transformative. I thought, ‘I’ve got to have more of this,’ ” Dickins said. Becoming a performance poet has given her a place on a stage of her own making.
All her life she has written is mostly without being seen or heard. Her mother died when she was nine, and, after she went into a care home at 13, Dickins’ writing stayed in notebooks. Really, she says, a lot of her adult life has been about getting over childhood shyness. At university — she studied education — she met her husband of 40 years, but in three years of seminars she did not say a word. Some of these results from her years at the children’s home. She says, “It gave me a sense of what it’s like to be excluded. I never fitted in anywhere.”
After she graduated, she discovered that she loved working with people with learning disabilities. She became an expert in inclusive education. “That was my niche (称心的职业),” she says. She published books and returned to the University of North London as a senior lecturer in early childhood studies.
Dickins now sees that in adulthood she has been giving herself permission to be silly. “The sillier I allow myself to be, the better the writing is,” she says. Her observations are humorous.
“Putting things into words and giving shape to your emotions is an important part of coming to terms with the things that happen in life,” she says.
Does she still feel like an outsider?
“I think I’ve made it into a virtue. I celebrate the fact that I don’t fit into a box. Finally! You have to wait till you’re 62 to feel confident!” she says. “But I have a sense of who I am and I’m proud of it. I wouldn’t be anyone else now — and it took me a long time to say that.”
44. How did Dickins feel about her debut?
A. Nervous. B. Anxious. C. Encouraged. D. Relieved.
45. Why was Dickins lacking in a sense of belonging?
A. Her early stay at the care home.
B. Her inexperienced writing skills.
C. Her struggle with her university studies.
D. Her poor relationship with her husband.
46. How does writing benefit Dickins?
A. It helps her land a good job.
B. It develops her sense of humor.
C. It makes her overcome her learning disabilities.
D. It enables her to get on well with her life.
47. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Mary Dickins’ First Performance
B. Mary Dickins’ New Start after 60
C. Mary Dickins’ Troubled Writing Career
D. Mary Dickins’ Influence on Performance Poets
【答案】44. C 45. A 46. D 47. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Mary Dickins在60岁以后成为一名表演诗人并由此重获新生的故事。
【44题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段的“But when she made her debut (首次演出) as a performer at the age of 62 at the legendary Bang Said the Gun night in south London, she said, “It was so wild — like nothing I had ever seen before.”(但当她62岁时在伦敦南部传奇的“枪炮之夜”上首次以表演者的身份亮相时,她说:“这太疯狂了,我以前从未见过。”)”以及““It felt transformative. I thought, ‘I’ve got to have more of this,’ ” Dickins said. Becoming a performance poet has given her a place on a stage of her own making.(“我觉得这是一种变革。我想,‘我得多点这样的表演,’” Dickins说。成为一名表演诗人让她在自己创造的舞台上占据了一席之地)”可知,Dickins首次作为表演者登台时观众的反应很疯狂,这种体验是她从未经历过的,但她很喜欢,成为表演诗人让Dickins在舞台上有了自己的一席之地。由此推知,当Dickins第一次上台表演诗歌后,观众的反应使她大受鼓舞。故选C。
【45题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的“At university — she studied education — she met her husband of 40 years, but in three years of seminars she did not say a word. Some of these results from her years at the children’s home. She says, “It gave me a sense of what it’s like to be excluded. I never fitted in anywhere.”(在大学里,她学习教育,遇到了相恋40年的丈夫,但在三年的研讨会上,她一句话也没说。其中一些是她在儿童之家工作多年的结果。她说:“这让我明白了被排斥的感觉。我从来没有融入过任何地方。”)”可知,Dickins在儿童之家生活多年的经历让她觉得自己被排斥在外,在任何地方都格格不入,很没有归属感。故选A。
【46题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第三段““Putting things into words and giving shape to your emotions is an important part of coming to terms with the things that happen in life,” she says.(她说:“把事情用语言表达出来,塑造你的情绪,是接受生活中发生的事情的重要组成部分。”)”可推知,写作使她更好地接纳生活中发生的一切,让她与自己的生活讲和。故选D。
【47题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第一段“But when she made her debut (首次演出) as a performer at the age of 62 at the legendary Bang Said the Gun night in south London, she said, “It was so wild — like nothing I had ever seen before.”(但当她62岁时在伦敦南部传奇的“枪炮之夜”上首次以表演者的身份亮相时,她说:“这太疯狂了,我以前从未见过。”)”是对Dickins在62岁时首次登台演出的描写,以及最后一段“Finally! You have to wait till you’re 62 to feel confident!” she says. “But I have a sense of who I am and I’m proud of it. I wouldn’t be anyone else now — and it took me a long time to say that.”(最后你必须等到62岁才有自信!”她说。“但我知道自己是谁,我为此感到骄傲。我现在不会成为其他人了——我花了很长时间才这么说。”)”她提到自己通过写作和表演克服害羞、找到自信可知,本文主要讲述了Mary Dickins在60岁以后成为一名表演诗人并由此重获新生的故事。由此可知,A项“Mary Dickins在60岁后的新开始”为最佳标题。故选B。
C
As AI art generators (生成器) take the world by storm, some people wonder if their works should count as art at all. The technology is still developing and has some wrinkles to iron out, which means there are indeed flaws to consider alongside the incredible artwork a good artificial intelligence can produce.
Art is classed as the product of imagination, skill, experience, and emotion, usually meant to represent something for the public to enjoy. Artists spent time and effort putting their inner worlds onto these works. Machine intelligence also puts a lot of work into sorting through tons of data, linking someone’s prompt to datasets, and trying to represent it as best as possible. The difference is that the AI is driven by commands instead of an emotional desire to express itself.
AI painters can produce over 1,000 original works of art with every tap of the enter key on a keyboard. But a mass-produced print of the Mona Lisa is worth less than the actual Leonardo da Vinci’s painting. Why? Scarcity — there’s only one of the original. Should anyone pay for these things? And if an artist puts AI masterpieces up for sale, what should the price be?
AI art involves a program mimicking (模仿) the work of existing artists to create a new piece according to the request of a human. But who made the artwork, the machine or its user? And can the original artists sue for copyright (版权) violation? Such questions complicate the merging of artificial intelligence and the art industry, while fueling arguments against recognizing AI-generated art as marketable artistic products.
Once we’ve answered those questions, we can tackle the really big one: When an AI-generated painting wins an award, who gets the prize?
48. What does the underlined word "flaws" in paragraph 1 probably mean?
A. Benefits. B. Advances. C. Weaknesses. D. Standards.
49. How is AI art different from human art?
A. It is the product of experience. B. It costs less money to produce.
C. It combines different styles of work. D. It is not a mirror of humans’ emotions.
50. Why does the writer mention Mona Lisa in the third paragraph?
A To prove the popularity of classic artworks.
B. To present the potential trouble with the value of AI art.
C. To show the advantages of AI painters over human artists.
D. To introduce a new way of preserving art masterpieces.
51. What can we infer from paragraph 4?
A. AI art promotes the sale of artistic products.
B. AI art makes copyright issues more complicated.
C. Artists can create more works with the help of AI.
D. There will be fierce competition in the art industry.
【答案】48. C 49. D 50. B 51. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要探讨AI艺术生成器引发的争议,包括AI作品是否算艺术、与人类艺术的差异及版权、价值等相关问题。
【48题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段中的“The technology is still developing and has some wrinkles to iron out, which means there are indeed flaws to consider alongside the incredible artwork a good artificial intelligence can produce. (这项技术仍在发展中,还有一些问题需要解决,这意味着除了优秀人工智能能创作出的出色作品外,确实还有一些flaws需要考虑)”可知,这项技术有一些问题需要解决。由此可知,此处指的是技术存在一些缺陷,所以划线单词“flaws”与“缺陷、不足”意义相近。故选C项。
【49题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The difference is that the AI is driven by commands instead of an emotional desire to express itself. (不同之处在于,人工智能是由指令驱动的,而非表达自我的情感渴望)”可知,人工智能艺术与人类艺术的不同之处是人工智能艺术不是人类情绪的反映。故选D项。
【50题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“AI painters can produce over 1,000 original works of art with every tap of the enter key on a keyboard. But a mass-produced print of the Mona Lisa is worth less than the actual Leonardo da Vinci’s painting. Why? Scarcity — there’s only one of the original. Should anyone pay for these things? And if an artist puts AI masterpieces up for sale, what should the price be? (AI绘画工具每按一次键盘上的回车键,就能生成超过1000幅原创艺术作品。但一幅批量生产的《蒙娜丽莎》复制品,其价值远低于达·芬奇的原作。为什么?因为稀缺性——原作只有一幅。那么人们应该为AI作品付费吗?如果艺术家将AI杰作拿去出售,定价又该如何确定?)”可知,作者提及《蒙娜丽莎》是为了通过原作与复制品的价值差异,引出AI作品因可大量生成、缺乏稀缺性而面临的价值定位难题,即呈现AI艺术在价值方面的潜在问题。故选B项。
【51题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中的“AI art involves a program mimicking (模仿) the work of existing artists to create a new piece according to the request of a human. But who made the artwork, the machine or its user? And can the original artists sue for copyright (版权) violation? Such questions complicate the merging of artificial intelligence and the art industry (AI艺术是程序根据人类需求,模仿现有艺术家的作品来创作新作品。但作品的创作者是谁?是机器还是使用者?原作者是否可以起诉其侵犯版权?这些问题使人工智能与艺术行业的融合变得复杂)”可知,AI艺术引发了“创作者归属”以及“是否侵犯原作者版权”等问题,这使得版权问题变得更加复杂。故选B项。
D
Any schoolchild knows that a whale breathes through its blowhole. Fewer know that a blowhole is a nostril (鼻孔) slightly changed by evolution into a form more useful for a mammal that spends its life at sea. And only a dedicated expert would know that while toothed whales, such as sperm whales, have one hole, baleen whales, such as humpback and Rice’s whales, have two.
Even among the baleen whales, the placing of those nostrils differs. In some species, they are close together. In others, they are much further apart. In a paper published in Biology Letters Conor Ryan, a marine biologist at the Scottish Association for Marine Science, suggests why that might be. Having two nostrils, he argues, helps whales smell in stereo (立体空间).
Many types of baleen whales eat tiny animals known as zooplankton (浮游动物), which they catch by filtering them from seawater using the sheets of fibrous baleen that have replaced teeth in their mouths. But to eat something you first have to find it. Toothed whales do not hunt by scent. In fact, the olfactory (嗅觉) bulb (球状物) — the part of the brain that processes smell — is absent in such creatures. But baleen whales still have olfactory bulbs, which suggests smell remains important. And scent can indeed give zooplankton away. Zooplankton like to eat other tiny creatures called phytoplankton (浮游植物). When these are under attack, they release a special gas called dim-ethyl sulphide (二甲硫), which in turn attracts baleen whales.
Most animals have stereoscopic senses. Having two eyes, for instance, allows an animal to compare the images from each in order to perceive depth. Having two ears lets them locate the direction from which a sound is coming. Dr. Ryan theorized that paired blowholes might bring baleen whales the same sorts of benefits.
The farther apart the sensory organs are, the more information can be extracted by the animal that bears them. The researchers used drones to photograph the nostrils of 143 whales belonging to 14 different species. Sure enough, baleen whales that often eat zooplankton, such as the North Atlantic right whale (北大西洋露脊鲸), have nostrils that are farther apart than those, such as humpback whales (座头鲸), that eat zooplankton occasionally. Besides allowing them to breathe, it seems that some whales use their blowholes to determine in which direction dinner lies.
52. What do we know about whales’ nostrils according to the first two paragraphs?
A. They are developed merely for smell. B. They are adapted ones.
C. They are not easy to detect. D. They are not fixed universally in numbers.
53. What plays a role when baleen whales hunt zooplankton?
A. The smell that phytoplankton send. B. The teeth that baleen whales have.
C. The sound waves that zooplankton create. D. The chemical signals that zooplankton give off.
54. How is the concept of stereoscopic senses explained in paragraph 4?
A. By quoting a theory. B. By making a contrast.
C. By using examples. D. By making inferences.
55. What is the position of nostrils related to according to the last paragraph?
A. The ability to give off smells. B. The possibility to attract food.
C. The ability to communicate. D. The ability to locate food.
【答案】52. B 53. A 54. C 55. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍鲸鱼鼻孔的进化特点,分析须鲸双鼻孔的作用,尤其是其与嗅觉、定位食物的关联及不同须鲸鼻孔间距差异的原因。
【52题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Fewer know that a blowhole is a nostril (鼻孔) slightly changed by evolution into a form more useful for a mammal that spends its life at sea. (很少有人知道,喷水孔是鼻孔经过进化略微改造后的形态,对于终生生活在海洋中的哺乳动物来说更有用。)”可知,鲸鱼的鼻孔是经过进化适应海洋生活的改造形态,即“它们是适应后的形态”。故选B项。
【53题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Zooplankton like to eat other tiny creatures called phytoplankton (浮游植物). When these are under attack, they release a special gas called dim-ethyl sulphide (二甲硫), which in turn attracts baleen whales. (浮游动物喜欢吃另一种叫做浮游植物的微小生物。当浮游植物受到攻击时,它们会释放一种叫做二甲硫的特殊气体,这种气体反过来会吸引须鲸。)”可知,须鲸捕猎浮游动物时,浮游植物释放的气味(二甲硫气体)起到了吸引作用,由此可知,浮游植物发出的气味在其中发挥作用。故选A项。
【54题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Most animals have stereoscopic senses. Having two eyes, for instance, allows an animal to compare the images from each in order to perceive depth. Having two ears lets them locate the direction from which a sound is coming. (大多数动物都有立体感知能力。例如,两只眼睛能让动物比较两只眼睛看到的图像,从而感知深度。两只耳朵能让它们确定声音来自哪个方向。)”可知,作者通过“两只眼睛感知深度”和“两只耳朵定位声音方向”这两个例子,解释了“立体感知能力”的概念,由此可知,第四段是通过举例解释立体感觉的概念。故选C项。

细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Sure enough, baleen whales that often eat zooplankton, such as the North Atlantic right whale (北大西洋露脊鲸), have nostrils that are farther apart than those, such as humpback whales (座头鲸), that eat zooplankton occasionally. Besides allowing them to breathe, it seems that some whales use their blowholes to determine in which direction dinner lies. (果然,像北大西洋露脊鲸这类常以浮游动物为食的须鲸,其鼻孔间距比座头鲸这类偶尔捕食浮游动物的须鲸更大。除了用于呼吸,似乎部分鲸类还会借助喷水孔来判断猎物所在的方向。)”可知,鲸鱼鼻孔的位置(间距)与确定食物方向的能力相关。故选D项。
第二节:(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。
During your teenage years, your body goes through many changes, and you may or may not like how your body develops. You start forming an image of your body. ___56___
You can develop either a positive or negative body image, depending on your mindset.
One of the major contributors of a negative body image is peer pressure. Even if you do not think you are being bullied by your group of friends, you may be laughed at casually about your appearance or you may simply notice that they seem more “perfect” than you. This can have a negative impact on your body image. ___57___ Often, an ideal body type is promoted heavily on social networks. Culture may also have a negative impact on one’s body image. If your culture values a particular body image, then that would make you unhappy if you don’t match it.
A negative body image increases the risk of unhealthy behaviors like extreme dieting, overeating, over exercising, isolation, and risky surgeries. It also lowers life satisfaction and can lead to unhappiness. ___58___
To have a more positive body image, first accept that we are all unique individuals. Imagine if everyone looked the same, the world would be a boring place. ___59___ Beauty standards keep changing all the time. What’s more, models and celebrities you see in the media may look “perfect” for the era, but, in fact, much of it is due to makeup, angles and lighting and Photoshop!
___60___ Avoid commenting on others’ looks, and you will stop criticizing yourself too. If you have peers who constantly comment about your appearance, it might be time to re-evaluate the company you keep.
Remember, your body image is simply YOUR perception (感知) of your body. This means YOU have the power to change this, even if you do not have the ability to change the perception of others.
A. Your body image is influenced by many factors.
B. Another major factor is what is shown in the media.
C. It is simply how you see, think and feel about yourself.
D. More importantly, there is no such thing as a perfect body.
E. In general, the key to a positive body image is self-acceptance.
F. Also, instead of focusing on appearances, learn to value people for who they really are.
G. Over focusing on appearance can stop you from appreciating your other positive qualities.

What’s more, models and celebrities you see in the media may look “perfect” for the era, but, in fact, much of it is due to makeup, angles and lighting and Photoshop!(审美标准一直在变化。更重要的是,你在媒体上看到的模特和名人可能看起来“完美”,但事实上,这很大程度上是由于化妆、角度、灯光和PS!)”可知,上文指出每个人看起来一样世界将会变得无聊,后文指出审美标准一直在变化,说明没有完全完美的身体,因为审美标准一直在变化。故D选项“更重要的是,没有完美的身材”符合语境,故选D。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。介绍的是几十年来,学校教育过于强调考试成绩,而忽视了孩子个人发展的其他方面。为解决该问题教育部在最近公布的义务教育计划中,教育部将“实践活动”与之前的“综合实践”课程分开,成为独立的课程。
【76题详解】
考查动词。句意:几十年来,学校教育过于强调考试成绩,而忽视了孩子个人发展的其他方面,如体育教育和基本生活技能。根据句子结构,设空处应该填写动词作谓语。句中for decades意为“几十年来”,表示的是从过去到现在,为现在完成时的时间标志,句中的school education为单数。故填写has laid。
【77题详解】
考查形容词。句意:同上。设空处应该填写形容词作定语修饰development。person为名词,意为“个人”,其形容词为personal,意为“个人的”,符合句意。故填personal。
【78题详解】
考查形容词。句意:很多年轻人不能做一顿简单的饭。设空处应该填写形容词作表语。根据句意,此处表示的是“不能做某事”。unable意为“不能的”。符合句意。故填unable。
【79题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:在最近公布的义务教育计划中,教育部将“实践活动”与之前的“综合实践”课程分开,成为独立的课程。句中的has separated为谓语动词,设空处应该是用非谓语动词。announce为动词,意为“宣布”,和plan之间是被动关系,故使用过去分词表示被动,同时表示完成。announced意为“被宣布的”,符合句意。故填announced
【80题详解】
考查介词。句意:同上。句中separate sth from sth为固定搭配,意为“把…从…分离”,from符合句意。故填from。
【81题详解】
考查冠词。句意:在9月份即将到来的新学期,中小学生将会在课程表中发现新的“实践活动”课程。new “practical activities” course 为名词短语,前面需要填写冠词,此处表示特指,故用the。
【82题详解】
考查被动语态。句意:有些人抱怨说,学生的大部分时间和精力可能被占用了,但事实是,学习实用技能是塑造一个人的性格的一个重要因素。occupy为动词,意为“占据,占有”,其和much of pupils' time and energy之间是被动关系,同时该空放于might之后,故应该使用情态动词的被动语态。故填be occupied。
【83题详解】
考查表语从句。句意:同上。设空处置于系动词is之后,引导的是表语从句。that在引导名词性从句的时,在从句中不做成分,无意义,只起到引导作用。故填that。
【84题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:当年轻人可以通过点击应用程序完成大部分事情的时候,要求他们学习这些东西似乎是不现实的,也是不必要的。句中的may seem为谓语动词,设空处应该使用非谓语动词。require sb to do sth为固定搭配,意为“要求某人去做某事”。填to learn。
【85题详解】
考查名词。句意:但学习如何烹饪两三道菜和设计一个有营养的食谱,是培养孩子的独立性和良好的工作精神的技能。设空处需要填写名词作宾语。dish为可数名词,意为“菜”,根据前文的two or three可知此处应该使用复数。故填dishes。
