Her discovery of artemisinin (青蒿素) has led to the development of new drugs which have saved the lives of millions. Tu Youyou was born in Zhejiang, China, on 30 December, 1930. She studied medicine at Peking University Health Science Centre. After graduation, she became a member of China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences. Later, she studied Chinese medicine for two and a half years with experts in the field from whom she gained a deep knowledge about traditional practices. In 1969, Tu Youyou was chosen to establish a team to find a cure for malaria — a disease that killed millions of people every year. Across the world, scientists had been trying to find a cure. They tested more than 240,000 chemicals with no success. However, Tu Youyou had an idea that Chinese herbs might hold the secret. She studied ancient Chinese medical literature and visited experts in traditional Chinese medicine. She researched hundreds of traditional recipes connected to anti-malarial cures. Then Tu Youyou and her team began using modern research methods to study these Chinese herbs one by one. This was not an easy task because the team had limited resources. However, after hundreds of failed experiments, they eventually came across a promising chemical. Tu Youyou bravely volunteered to be the first human subject when they were ready to start testing and the rest of her team followed her. The test was a success. The medicine they discovered, artemisinin, has now become the world’s most effective drug for fighting malaria (疟疾). Tu’s work bridged the Eastern and Western worlds, saving millions of lives. She was noted for her bravery and her ability to use old wisdom and new methods to achieve her goals. Today Tu Youyou continues to conduct research despite her age. 4. How did Tu Youyou obtain a deep knowledge about traditional practices? A. By reading ancient Chinese medical literature. B. By studying at Peking University Health Science Centre. C. By learning from experts in the field of Chinese medicine. D. By working in China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences. 5. Why was it difficult for Tu Youyou and her team to find a cure for malaria? A. They didn’t have enough resources. B. They weren’t good at doing experiments. C They could not find human subjects. D. They could not find a promising chemical. 6. What’s the underlined word “noted” mean? A. marked B. recorded C. attentive D. famous 7. Which of the following can best describe Tu Youyou? A. Independent and brave. B. Patient and confident. C. Outgoing and knowledgeable. D. Devoted and determined. 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. D 7. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了屠呦呦及其团队攻克疟疾，发现青蒿素的过程。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句“Later, she studied Chinese medicine for two and a half years with experts in the field from whom she gained a deep knowledge about traditional practices.”（后来，她跟随该领域的专家学习了两年半的中医，对传统医疗实践有了深入的了解。）可知，屠呦呦通过跟随中医领域的专家学习，从而对传统医疗实践有了深入的了解。故选C项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段第一句“This was not an easy task because the team had limited resources.”（这不是一项容易的任务，因为团队的资源有限。）可知，屠呦呦的团队很难找到治疗疟疾的方法是因为他们没有足够的资源。故选A项。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据最后一段第二句“She was noted for her bravery and her ability to use old wisdom and new methods to achieve her goals.”（她以勇敢和运用旧智慧和新方法实现目标的能力而noted。）并结合屠呦呦的医学贡献可知，她勇于尝试的精神，融合旧智慧和新方法最终实现目标，攻克疟疾的能力是有目共睹的，故推知noted应表示“出名的”。故选D项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段最后两句“She researched hundreds of traditional recipes connected to anti-malarial cures. Then Tu Youyou and her team began using modern research methods to study these Chinese herbs one by one.”（她研究了数百种与抗疟疾疗法有关的传统配方。然后屠呦呦和她的团队开始用现代研究方法逐一研究这些中草药。）及第四段第二句“However, after hundreds of failed experiments, they eventually came across a promising chemical.”（然而，经过数百次失败的实验，他们最终发现了一种很有前景的化学物质。）及最后一段最后一句“Today Tu Youyou continues to conduct research despite her age.”（如今，屠呦呦尽管年事已高，仍在继续从事科研工作。）可知，屠呦呦为了帮助人类治疗疟疾进行了无数的研究与失败，但她从未放弃，最终得以攻克疟疾，现在仍在为科研事业奉献自身。说明她拥有坚强的意志力和献身精神。故选D项。 C Imagine a world where you move around in front of a personal computer in your own sound space. You listen to your favorite songs, play loud computer games or watch a movie—all without other people hearing the sound. That is the possibility presented by “sound beaming,” a new technology from Noveto Systems, an Israeli company. On Friday the company presented a desktop device that sends sound directly to a listener without the need for headphones or a special receiver. Noveto Systems gave The Associated Press (AP) a chance to test its Sound Beamer 1.0 before its debut. The AP’s Louise Dixon writes that listening to the device is like something from a science fiction movie. The sound seems so close it feels like it is inside your ears while also in front, above and behind them. Noveto expects the device will have many uses. Office workers could listen to music or conference calls without others hearing. People could play a game, a movie or music without waking up others in the same room. Because the device does not use headphones, it is possible to hear other sounds in the room clearly. The device uses a 3-D technology that finds and follows the ear position of the listener. It sends ultrasonic waves to create sound pockets by the user’s ears. Sound can be heard in stereo or 3-D. The 3-D method creates sound on all sides of the listener The demo version of the device included nature videos of birds on a lake, bees flying and a quiet waterway. By changing a setting, the sound can follow a listener around when they move their head. It also is possible to move out sound beam’s path and hear nothing at all. While the idea of sound beaming is not new, Noveto was the first to launch the technology. Its chief executive officer Christophe Ramstein said a smaller version of the device will be ready for release to consumers next year. 8. What do we know about Sound Beamer? A. It’s a device appearing in the science fiction movie. B. Listeners got its sound through a receiver. C. It can prevent other sound being heard. D. The smaller one will be on market next year. 9. What does the underlined word “debut” in paragraph 2 mean? A. New version. B. First appearance. C. Another failure. D. Some doubt. 10. What does the fourth paragraph tell us? A. How the device works. B. How to use the device. C. The device’s advantage. D. Why the device is invented. 11. What is the text mainly about? A. The introduction of a new device — sound beamer. B. The usage of 3D technology. C. The influence brought by sound beamer. D. 3D technology and listening experience. 【答案】8. D 9. B 10. A 11. A 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述以色列一家公司开发了“声波发射器”的设备，不用耳机就可以传送声音。文章还介绍了这种设备的工作原理和许多用途。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Its chief executive officer Christophe Ramstein said a smaller version of the device will be ready for release to consumers next year.(该公司首席执行官Christophe Ramstein表示，该设备的一个较小版本将于明年向消费者发布)”可知，该设备的小版本将于明年上市。故选D。 【9题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第二段中“On Friday, the company presented a desktop device that sends sound directly to a listener without the need for headphones or a special receiver.(上周五，该公司推出了一款桌面设备，可以直接向听者发送声音，而不需要耳机或特殊接收器)”以及画线词上文“Noveto Systems gave The Associated Press (AP) a chance to test its Sound Beamer 1.0 before its” 可知，这家公司上周五推出了这款设备，并且给了美联社一个机会，在其首次亮相前测试了它的Sound Beamer 1.0，即在这种设备同大众首次亮相之前要进行测试，由此推知debut意为“首次亮相”。故选B。 【10题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段“The device uses a 3-D technology that finds and follows the ear position of the listener. It sends ultrasonic waves to create sound pockets by the user’s ears. Sound can be heard in stereo or 3-D. The 3-D method creates sound on all sides of the listener The demo version of the device included nature videos of birds on a lake, bees flying and a quiet waterway. By changing a setting, the sound can follow a listener around when they move their head. It also is possible to move out sound beam’s path and hear nothing at all.(该设备使用了3D技术，可以发现并跟踪听者的耳朵位置。它会发送超声波，让使用者的耳朵产生声音囊。声音可以在立体声或3D中听到。该设备的演示版本包括鸟在湖上、蜜蜂在飞和一条安静的水道的自然视频。通过改变环境，当听者移动头部时，声音可以跟随他们。也有可能移出声音束的路径而什么也听不见)”可知，第四段主要叙述的是该设备的工作原理，故选A。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Imagine a world where you move around in front of a personal computer in your own sound space. You listen to your favorite songs, play loud computer games or watch a movie—all without other people hearing the sound That is the possibility presented by “sound beaming,” a new technology from Noveto Systems, an Israeli company.(想象一个世界，在你自己的声音空间里，你在个人电脑前移动。你听你最喜欢的歌曲，大声玩电脑游戏或看电影——所有这些都没有让其他人听到声音——这是由以色列公司诺维系统的一项新技术提供的可能性)”结合文章主要介绍以色列一家公司开发一种“声波发射器”的设备，不用耳机就可以传送声音。文章还介绍了这种设备的工作原理和许多用途。可知，文章主要是介绍一种新的设备——声波发射器。故选A。 D Today, poetry and science are often considered to be mutually exclusive(互相排斥)career paths. But that wasn’t always the case. The mathematician Ada Lovelace and the physicist James Clerk Maxwell were both accomplished poets. The poet John Keats was a licensed surgeon. Combining the two practices fell out of favor in the 1800s. But translating research into lyrics, haiku, and other poetic forms is resurging(再现)among scientists as they look for alternative ways to inspire others with their findings. “Poetry is a great tool for questioning the world,” says Sam Illingworth, a poet and a geoscientist who works at the University of Western Australia. Through workshops and a new science-poetry journal, called Consilience, Illingworth is helping scientists to translate their latest results into poems that can attract appreciation from those outside of their immediate scientific field. Stephany Mazon, a scientist from the University of Helsinki in Finland, joined one of Illingworth’s workshops. In the workshop, she was grouped with other scientists and tasked with writing a haiku, a 17-syllable-long poem, which spotlighted water, a fluid that featured in all of the group members’ research projects. “It was a lot of fun, and surprisingly easy to write the poem,” Mazon says. She plans to continue writing. “We do a disservice(伤害)to ourselves to think that scientists can’t be artistic and that art can’t be used to communicate scientific ideas,” Mazon says. That viewpoint is echoed by Illingworth, who thinks science communication initiatives are too often dominated by public lectures with their hands-off PowerPoint slides. “Actually, when science communication involves writing and sharing poems, it invites a two-way dialogue between experts and nonexperts,” he says. Scientist-poet Manjula Silva, an educator at Imperial College London, agrees. Poetry provides a way to translate complex scientific concepts into a language that everyone can understand, Silva says. Scientists and poets are both trying to understand the world and communicate that understanding with others. The distinction between scientists and poets is less than people might think. We’re all just people with hopefully really interesting things to say and to share. 12. What is the purpose of mentioning the celebrities in paragraph 1? A. To display they were talented. B. To confirm they were out of favor. C. To encourage different career paths. D. To show poetry and science can be combined. 13. What are Illingworth’s workshops aimed to do? A. Promote a new science-poetry journal. B. Inspire outsiders to pursue their careers in science. C. Encourage science communication through poems. D. Get scientists to exchange ideas about the latest research. 14. What does Illingworth think of the dominant ways of science communication? A. Conventional. B. Effective. C. Innovative. D. Complex. 15. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Scientists Take on Poetry B. Scientists and Poets Think Alike C. Poetry: A Great Tool to Question the World D. Science Communication: A Two-way Dialogue 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. A 15. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，主要介绍了科学家和诗人之间的联系。文章提到了一些名人，以显示诗歌和科学并不总是被认为是互相排斥的职业道路。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段中“The mathematician Ada Lovelace and the physicist James Clerk Maxwell were both accomplished poets. The poet John Keats was a licensed surgeon. Combining the two practices fell out of favor in the 1800s. But translating research into lyrics, haiku, and other poetic forms is resurging(再现)among scientists as they look for alternative ways to inspire others with their findings. (数学家Ada Lovelace和物理学家James Clerk Maxwell都是有成就的诗人。诗人约翰济慈是一名有执照的外科医生。将这两种做法结合起来在 19世纪失宠。但是，将研究翻译成歌词、俳句和其他诗歌形式正在科学家中重新兴起，因为他们正在寻找替代方法来用他们的发现激励他人。)”可知，原文中提到了传统观念中的诗人和科学家不同，但也提到了历史上有一些科学家也具有诗人才华。提到这些历史人物的目的是表明诗歌和科学是可以相结合的，故选D。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中“Through workshops and a new science-poetry journal, called Consilience, Illingworth is helping scientists to translate their latest results into poems that can attract appreciation from those outside of their immediate scientific field. (通过研讨会和一本名为Consilience的新科学诗歌期刊，伊林沃思正在帮助科学家将他们的最新成果转化为诗歌，以吸引他们所在科学领域以外的人的欣赏。)”可知，伊林沃思的研讨会旨在鼓励通过诗歌进行科学交流。故选C。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段中“That viewpoint is echoed by Illingworth, who thinks science communication initiatives are too often dominated by public lectures with their hands-off PowerPoint slides. (Illingworth也赞同这一观点，他认为科学传播计划往往被公开讲座和不干涉的PowerPoint幻灯片所主导。)”可知，伊林沃思认为，科学交流倡议往往被公开讲座的幻灯片所主导，这是一种老套的方式。故选A。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。文中提到了一些历史人物，如数学家 Ada Lovelace 和物理学家James Clerk Maxwell 都是杰出的诗人，说明诗歌和科学在过去并不是相互排斥的领域。但是在19世纪，将两种领域结合起来的做法逐渐没落。现在，随着科学家们在寻找更多向外部人员灌输科研成果的方法，将研究成果转化为诗歌、俳句等文学形式的做法再次流行起来。文章介绍了Sam Illingworth学者和诗人的身份交替和新的科学诗歌杂志 Consilience，以及他如何鼓励科学家们将自己的成果转化为韵文和诗歌，从而向更广泛的受众灌输他们的最新研究成果。此外，文章也引用了科学家Manjula Silva的观点，认为诗歌为将复杂的科学概念转化为大家都可以理解的语言提供了方便，综上，文章主要强调科学家开始研究诗歌（通过石刻的形式传播科学）。故选A。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。 Household chores like cooking, cleaning, washing the dishes, and making the bed are never done; they just get repeated like a broken record. Boring! ___16___. But there are science-based reasons for changing your attitude towards chores. It turns out that doing chores is great for your health. ___17___. As researchers state in a report, doing undemanding tasks allows the mind to wander. Your mind gets a break, which allows you to consider old problems with new eyes. In fact, undemanding tasks stimulate (激发) more creative ideas than demanding tasks or just resting. Chores are linked to a lower dementia (痴呆) risk. To discover what activities might be linked to a lower rate of dementia, researchers analyzed massive amounts of healthcare data from the UK Biobank. They found that those most engaged in household chores had a 21 percent lower risk of dementia compared to those least engaged in chores. ___18___. Finishing your chores can increase motivation. BJ Fogg, author of Tiny Habits: The Small Changes That Change Everything, states that the most important skill is recognizing and celebrating successes. Completing even a small task, like making your bed, can give you a sense of satisfaction. ___19___. Similarly, author Admiral William H. McRaven argues that if you want to change the world, start off by making your bed. Chores are good for children’s mental health. Children develop a sense of ownership when they have jobs to do around the house and it makes them feel like they are an important member of the household. ___20___. In my own case, I bond with my daughter by gossiping (闲聊) and singing while we do chores together. A. Chores are an opportunity for “me time” B. Chores can lead to creative problem-solving C. Thus, you feel motivated to deal with tasks one after another D. In this way, they can be taught to be independent and confident E. Like many people, you may regard chores as something annoying F. Doing chores with children also improves the parent-child relationship G. This result indicated simple changes could make a difference to health 【答案】16. E 17. B 18. G 19. C 20. F 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍的是做家务可以给我们带来的好处。 【16题详解】 根据空前“Household chores like cooking, cleaning, washing the dishes, and making the bed are never done; they just get repeated like a broken record. Boring!(像做饭、打扫、洗碗、铺床这样的家务事永远做不完;它们就像坏了的唱片一样被重复播放。无聊！)”可知，此处讲述的是人们认为做家务是很无聊的事情，根据空后的“But there are science-based reasons for changing your attitude towards chores.(但改变你对家务的态度是有科学依据的)”可知，改变对待做家务的态度是有科学依据的，其中的but可以推断，此空处讲述的仍是人们对做家务的态度是不好的，E选项“Like many people, you may regard chores as something annoying(和许多人一样，你可能认为家务是件烦人的事)”讲述的是很多人认为做家务是件烦人的事情，与空前内容吻合，与空后内容为转折关系，符合逻辑。故选E项。 【17题详解】 分析语篇可知，此处应为本段主题句，根据空后的“As researchers state in a report, doing undemanding tasks allows the mind to wander. Your mind gets a break, which allows you to consider old problems with new eyes.(正如研究人员在一份报告中所说，做一些不费力的任务可以让人走神。你的大脑得到了休息，这让你可以用新的眼光来思考老问题)”可知，做一些要求不是很高的任务会让大脑得到休息，这样可以用新的思维考虑一些旧的问题。由此可知，此处讲述的是做家务之类的工作有助于解决问题，B选项“Chores can lead to creative problem-solving(家务琐事可以带来创造性的问题解决方法)”与空后的内容相吻合，且概括了本段的主题。故选B项。 【18题详解】 分析语篇可知，此处应是对上文内容的概括总结，根据空前的“They found that those most engaged in household chores had a 21 percent lower risk of dementia compared to those least engaged in chores.(他们发现，那些做家务最多的人患痴呆症的风险比那些做家务最少的人低21%)”可知，研究发现，做家务较多的人比较少做家务的人患上痴呆的概率要低21%，G选项“This result indicated simple changes could make a difference to health(这一结果表明，简单的改变就能对健康产生影响)”中的this result指代的为空前的研究发现，且讲述的内容与本段内容吻合。故选G项。 【19题详解】 根据本段的主题句“Finishing your chores can increase motivation.(完成家务可以增加动机)”可知，本段讲述的是做琐碎的事情能增加你的动机，结合空前的“Completing even a small task, like making your bed, can give you a sense of satisfaction.(即使是完成一件小事，比如整理床铺，也能给你带来满足感)”可知，完成小事情能给人以满足感，C选项“Thus, you feel motivated to deal with tasks one after another(因此，你会感到有动力去处理一个接一个的任务)”中的thus表明，此处内容与空前内容为因果关系，符合逻辑，且与本段的主题句吻合。故选C项。 【20题详解】 根据本段的主题句“Chores are good for children’s mental health.(做家务对孩子的心理健康有好处)”可知，本段讲述的是做家务对孩子的身心健康有好处，F选项“Doing chores with children also improves the parent-child relationship(和孩子一起做家务也能改善亲子关系)”讲述的是做家务能改善亲子关系，与本段的主题一致，且与空后的“In my own case, I bond with my daughter by gossiping (闲聊) and singing while we do chores together.(就我自己而言，我和女儿在一起做家务时，通过闲聊和唱歌来建立联系)”讲述的作者的亲身经历内容一致。故选F项。 第二部分 语言知识运用 （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。 One little girl in Dayton, Maine, has unknowingly changed the culture of her school when she became the first and only deaf student to attend.

It was May, yet we walked up a snow-covered hill. When we noticed our jeans were wet up to our knees, it did not dampen our spirits Not once did we say, “Let’s turn around.” This was our vacation, and we were on an adventure. Little did we know this was the beginning of many more surprises. The trail was marked as an easy one-kilometer like yet we were already walking a long distance. Our light-heartedness stopped when we came out into a clearing and saw a parking lot without our rental car in it. As my eyes scanned the surroundings, nothing looked familiar. My heart raced. I realized we were lost in a national park that did not officially open for another week. Usually, I am the calm one in the relationship, but my husband surprised me with his calmness. This did not comfort me; in fact, it heightened my fear. As we walked, I asked my husband to call for help, but there was no cell-phone signal in this isolated（偏僻的）area. It was awfully quiet except for our footsteps hitting the road, and my heavy breathing. My husband suggested we conserve energy and walk slower. With each step on the road, my feet and thighs hurt while my mind raced with thoughts about people who got lost in the Canadian woods for days. My vision sharpened. I noticed everything around me: the trees, rocks and snow. I thought we could eat the snow on the ground in case we needed water. For the first time in my life, I was ready and willing to get a ride, but we did not meet with a single car on the road. Silently, I prayed multiple times. We focused on each other, made joint decisions and connected through gratitude. We managed to stay on the main road and walked straight on. Paragraph 1: My husband suddenly spotted a small building on a hill in the distance. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Just then, a friendly woman appeared, saying, “Hello.” __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version Paragraph 1 My husband suddenly spotted a small building on a hill in the distance. In no time we found ourselves heading for it. We were filled with hope and excitement to find such a building in the middle of nowhere. We climbed up the hill at a swinging pace as if all the pains were gone. As we approached, a sign came into sight, which read: Administration Office. However, it was not open for business. The empty hall made us nervous all at once. We stood there hopelessly, wondering what to do next. Paragraph 2： Just then, a friendly woman appeared, saying, “Hello.” I could barely hold back my enthusiasm and blurted out, “Were lost!” She comforted us and opened a room for us to take a break. Seeing we were cold and hungry, she treated us with hot chocolate. After studying the map, we figured out that our car was parked over three kilometers away. She offered us a ride back to our car and we accepted gladly. I felt relieved to see our rental car again.

Her discovery of artemisinin (青蒿素) has led to the development of new drugs which have saved the lives of millions. Tu Youyou was born in Zhejiang, China, on 30 December, 1930. She studied medicine at Peking University Health Science Centre. After graduation, she became a member of China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences. Later, she studied Chinese medicine for two and a half years with experts in the field from whom she gained a deep knowledge about traditional practices. In 1969, Tu Youyou was chosen to establish a team to find a cure for malaria — a disease that killed millions of people every year. Across the world, scientists had been trying to find a cure. They tested more than 240,000 chemicals with no success. However, Tu Youyou had an idea that Chinese herbs might hold the secret. She studied ancient Chinese medical literature and visited experts in traditional Chinese medicine. She researched hundreds of traditional recipes connected to anti-malarial cures. Then Tu Youyou and her team began using modern research methods to study these Chinese herbs one by one. This was not an easy task because the team had limited resources. However, after hundreds of failed experiments, they eventually came across a promising chemical. Tu Youyou bravely volunteered to be the first human subject when they were ready to start testing and the rest of her team followed her. The test was a success. The medicine they discovered, artemisinin, has now become the world’s most effective drug for fighting malaria (疟疾). Tu’s work bridged the Eastern and Western worlds, saving millions of lives. She was noted for her bravery and her ability to use old wisdom and new methods to achieve her goals. Today Tu Youyou continues to conduct research despite her age. 4. How did Tu Youyou obtain a deep knowledge about traditional practices? A. By reading ancient Chinese medical literature. B. By studying at Peking University Health Science Centre. C. By learning from experts in the field of Chinese medicine. D. By working in China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences. 5. Why was it difficult for Tu Youyou and her team to find a cure for malaria? A. They didn’t have enough resources. B. They weren’t good at doing experiments. C. They could not find human subjects. D. They could not find a promising chemical. 6. What’s the underlined word “noted” mean? A. marked B. recorded C. attentive D. famous 7. Which of the following can best describe Tu Youyou? A Independent and brave. B. Patient and confident. C. Outgoing and knowledgeable. D. Devoted and determined. C Imagine a world where you move around in front of a personal computer in your own sound space. You listen to your favorite songs, play loud computer games or watch a movie—all without other people hearing the sound. That is the possibility presented by “sound beaming,” a new technology from Noveto Systems, an Israeli company. On Friday, the company presented a desktop device that sends sound directly to a listener without the need for headphones or a special receiver. Noveto Systems gave The Associated Press (AP) a chance to test its Sound Beamer 1.0 before its debut. The AP’s Louise Dixon writes that listening to the device is like something from a science fiction movie. The sound seems so close it feels like it is inside your ears while also in front, above and behind them. Noveto expects the device will have many uses. Office workers could listen to music or conference calls without others hearing. People could play a game, a movie or music without waking up others in the same room. Because the device does not use headphones, it is possible to hear other sounds in the room clearly. The device uses a 3-D technology that finds and follows the ear position of the listener. It sends ultrasonic waves to create sound pockets by the user’s ears. Sound can be heard in stereo or 3-D. The 3-D method creates sound on all sides of the listener The demo version of the device included nature videos of birds on a lake, bees flying and a quiet waterway. By changing a setting, the sound can follow a listener around when they move their head. It also is possible to move out sound beam’s path and hear nothing at all. While the idea of sound beaming is not new, Noveto was the first to launch the technology. Its chief executive officer Christophe Ramstein said a smaller version of the device will be ready for release to consumers next year. 8. What do we know about Sound Beamer? A. It’s a device appearing in the science fiction movie. B. Listeners got its sound through a receiver. C. It can prevent other sound being heard. D. The smaller one will be on market next year. 9. What does the underlined word “debut” in paragraph 2 mean? A. New version. B. First appearance. C. Another failure. D. Some doubt. 10. What does the fourth paragraph tell us? A. How the device works. B. How to use the device. C. The device’s advantage. D. Why the device is invented. 11. What is the text mainly about? A. The introduction of a new device — sound beamer. B. The usage of 3D technology. C. The influence brought by sound beamer. D. 3D technology and listening experience. D Today, poetry and science are often considered to be mutually exclusive(互相排斥)career paths. But that wasn’t always the case. The mathematician Ada Lovelace and the physicist James Clerk Maxwell were both accomplished poets. The poet John Keats was a licensed surgeon. Combining the two practices fell out of favor in the 1800s. But translating research into lyrics, haiku, and other poetic forms is resurging(再现)among scientists as they look for alternative ways to inspire others with their findings. “Poetry is a great tool for questioning the world” says Sam Illingworth, a poet and a geoscientist who works at the University of Western Australia. Through workshops and a new science-poetry journal, called Consilience, Illingworth is helping scientists to translate their latest results into poems that can attract appreciation from those outside of their immediate scientific field. Stephany Mazon, a scientist from the University of Helsinki in Finland, joined one of Illingworth’s workshops. In the workshop, she was grouped with other scientists and tasked with writing a haiku, a 17-syllable-long poem, which spotlighted water, a fluid that featured in all of the group members’ research projects. “It was a lot of fun, and surprisingly easy to write the poem,” Mazon says. She plans to continue writing. “We do a disservice(伤害)to ourselves to think that scientists can’t be artistic and that art can’t be used to communicate scientific ideas,” Mazon says. That viewpoint is echoed by Illingworth, who thinks science communication initiatives are too often dominated by public lectures with their hands-off PowerPoint slides. “Actually, when science communication involves writing and sharing poems, it invites a two-way dialogue between experts and nonexperts,” he says. Scientist-poet Manjula Silva, an educator at Imperial College London, agrees. Poetry provides a way to translate complex scientific concepts into a language that everyone can understand, Silva says. Scientists and poets are both trying to understand the world and communicate that understanding with others. The distinction between scientists and poets is less than people might think. We’re all just people with hopefully really interesting things to say and to share. 12. What is the purpose of mentioning the celebrities in paragraph 1? A. To display they were talented. B. To confirm they were out of favor. C. To encourage different career paths. D. To show poetry and science can be combined. 13. What are Illingworth’s workshops aimed to do? A. Promote a new science-poetry journal. B. Inspire outsiders to pursue their careers in science. C Encourage science communication through poems. D. Get scientists to exchange ideas about the latest research. 14. What does Illingworth think of the dominant ways of science communication? A. Conventional. B. Effective. C. Innovative. D. Complex. 15. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Scientists Take on Poetry B. Scientists and Poets Think Alike C. Poetry: A Great Tool to Question the World D. Science Communication: A Two-way Dialogue 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。 Household chores like cooking, cleaning, washing the dishes, and making the bed are never done; they just get repeated like a broken record. Boring! ___16___. But there are science-based reasons for changing your attitude towards chores. It turns out that doing chores is great for your health. ___17___. As researchers state in a report, doing undemanding tasks allows the mind to wander. Your mind gets a break, which allows you to consider old problems with new eyes. In fact, undemanding tasks stimulate (激发) more creative ideas than demanding tasks or just resting. Chores are linked to a lower dementia (痴呆) risk. To discover what activities might be linked to a lower rate of dementia, researchers analyzed massive amounts of healthcare data from the UK Biobank. They found that those most engaged in household chores had a 21 percent lower risk of dementia compared to those least engaged in chores. ___18___. Finishing your chores can increase motivation. BJ Fogg, author of Tiny Habits: The Small Changes That Change Everything, states that the most important skill is recognizing and celebrating successes. Completing even a small task, like making your bed, can give you a sense of satisfaction. ___19___. Similarly, author Admiral William H. McRaven argues that if you want to change the world, start off by making your bed. Chores are good for children’s mental health. Children develop a sense of ownership when they have jobs to do around the house and it makes them feel like they are an important member of the household. ___20___. In my own case, I bond with my daughter by gossiping (闲聊) and singing while we do chores together. A. Chores are an opportunity for “me time” B. Chores can lead to creative problem-solving C. Thus, you feel motivated to deal with tasks one after another D. In this way, they can be taught to be independent and confident E. Like many people, you may regard chores as something annoying F. Doing chores with children also improves the parent-child relationship G This result indicated simple changes could make a difference to health 第二部分 语言知识运用 （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。 One little girl in Dayton, Maine, has unknowingly changed the culture of her school when she became the first and only deaf student to attend.

It was May, yet we walked up a snow-covered hill. When we noticed our jeans were wet up to our knees, it did not dampen our spirits Not once did we say, “Let’s turn around.” This was our vacation, and we were on an adventure. Little did we know this was the beginning of many more surprises. The trail was marked as an easy one-kilometer like yet we were already walking a long distance. Our light-heartedness stopped when we came out into a clearing and saw a parking lot without our rental car in it. As my eyes scanned the surroundings, nothing looked familiar. My heart raced. I realized we were lost in a national park that did not officially open for another week. Usually, I am the calm one in the relationship, but my husband surprised me with his calmness. This did not comfort me; in fact, it heightened my fear. As we walked, I asked my husband to call for help, but there was no cell-phone signal in this isolated（偏僻的）area. It was awfully quiet except for our footsteps hitting the road, and my heavy breathing. My husband suggested we conserve energy and walk slower. With each step on the road, my feet and thighs hurt while my mind raced with thoughts about people who got lost in the Canadian woods for days. My vision sharpened. I noticed everything around me: the trees, rocks and snow. I thought we could eat the snow on the ground in case we needed water. For the first time in my life, I was ready and willing to get a ride, but we did not meet with a single car on the road. Silently, I prayed multiple times. We focused on each other, made joint decisions and connected through gratitude. We managed to stay on the main road and walked straight on. Paragraph 1: My husband suddenly spotted a small building on a hill in the distance. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Just then, a friendly woman appeared, saying, “Hello.” __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
