第三部分 阅读理解(共三节,满分 30 分)
第一节:选择 (共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分)
阅读下列短文,从各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
(A)
Psychology (心理学) is important in explaining human nature — and it gives reasons for a few of the situations you notice in yourself and others.
Plan A vs Plan B
In a group of experiments from the University of Pennsylvania, researchers found that when volunteers thought about another plan before starting a task, they did worse than those who hadn’t thought about a Plan B.Besides, when they realized they had choices, their motivation for succeeding at the first time dropped. The researchers point out that thinking ahead is a good idea, but you might be more successful if you keep those plans unclear.
Always Find a Problem
Why does another problem appear, when one problem is solved? It’s not that the world is against you—but your brain might be. Researchers asked volunteers to pick out people who have a threatening (有威胁的) look from faces on a computer. “As we started to show people fewer and fewer threatening faces, they increase their meaning of ‘threatening’ to include more faces,” writes researcher David Levari, PhD.“In other words, when they didn’t have threatening faces to find, they started to think of faces that they used to call harmless as threatening ones.”
Food Tastes Better
Why does that sandwich from the takeout place down the street taste better than the ones you make at home, even if you use the same ingredients (原料)? One study in the magazine Science found that when you make yourself a meal, you’re around it so long that it feels less exciting by the time you actually eat it — and that, as a result, decreases your enjoyment.
That’s why even your neighbor’s sandwich tastes better!
61.If we want to succeed at our first try, what had we better do?
A.Just think ahead. B.Come up with more clear plans.
C.Get plenty of choices. D.Work hard at Plan A.
62.What does the underlined word “motivation” mean?
A.Drive. B.Prize. C.Praise. D.Management
63.What can we learn from the passage?
A.We can not understand human nature. B.We always need a clear Plan B.
C.Our brain may create problems for us. D.Cooks in restaurants are better than us.
64.How does the writer explain the idea “Food Tastes Better” in the text ?
A.By making a survey. B.By using an old saying.
C.By listing an example. D.By telling a story.
65.What is the passage mainly about?
A.How to do psychology experiments. B.Psychology explanations for human nature.
C.Famous psychology researchers. D.What common psychology problems are.
【答案】61.D 62.A 63.C 64.C 65.B
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。围绕心理学对解释人性很重要这一话题展开讨论,通过列举相关研究事项说明该论点。
【详解】61.推理判断题。根据第二段“In a group of experiments from the University of Pennsylvania, researchers found that when volunteers thought about another plan before starting a task, they did worse than those who hadn’t thought about a Plan B. ...The researchers point out that thinking ahead is a good idea, but you might be more successful if you keep those plans unclear. (在一组来自宾夕法尼亚大学的研究中,研究人员发现,当志愿者在开始一项任务之前考虑另一个计划时,他们的表现不如那些没有考虑B计划的人……研究人员指出,提前思考是个好主意,但如果你保持这些计划模糊不清,你可能会更成功。)”可知,当志愿者在开始任务前考虑另一个计划(Plan B)或意识到自己有更多选择时,首次成功的动力会下降,表现也更差。所以如果想首次尝试就成功,最好专注于 Plan A,努力去做,而不是想太多其他计划或有太多选择。故选D。
62.词句猜测题。根据第二段“Besides, when they realized they had choices, their motivation for succeeding at the first time dropped. (此外,当他们意识到自己有选择时,他们第一次成功的动力就会下降。)”可知,当人们意识到有更多选择时,首次成功的“motivation”下降,结合语境,这里“motivation”应该是指成功的动力、驱动力,与drive意思相同,故选A。
63.细节理解题。根据第三段“It’s not that the world is against you—but your brain might be. Researchers asked volunteers to pick out people who have a threatening (有威胁的) look from faces on a computer... they started to think of faces that they used to call harmless as threatening ones. (并不是全世界都在反对你,而是你的大脑可能反对你。研究人员要求志愿者从电脑上的面孔中挑选出具有威胁性表情的人……他们开始将过去认为无害的面孔视为威胁性面孔。)”可知,大脑会在没有威胁面孔可找时,把原本无害的面孔视为有威胁,说明大脑会制造问题。故选C。
64.推理判断题。根据第四段“One study in the magazine Science found that when you make yourself a meal, you’re around it so long that it feels less exciting by the time you actually eat it — and that, as a result, decreases your enjoyment. (《科学》杂志上的一项研究发现,当你自己做一顿饭时,你会花很长时间在它周围,以至于当你真正吃它时,你会感觉不那么兴奋——结果,这会降低你的享受。)”并以自己做的三明治和外卖三明治为例,说明为什么外卖三明治感觉更好吃,所以是通过列举例子来解释。故选C。
65.主旨大意题。通读全文可知,文章开头“Psychology (心理学) is important in explaining human nature — and it gives reasons for a few of the situations you notice in yourself and others. (心理学对于解释人性很重要,它为你在自己和他人身上注意到的一些情况提供了原因。)”就点明了心理学对解释人性很重要,后面分别从 Plan A 与 Plan B、总是找问题、食物更好吃等几个方面用心理学知识进行解释,所以文章主要是关于心理学对人性的解释。故选B。
(B)
Getting electricity has always been a problem for the 173 people living in Nuevo Saposoa, a small village in Peru, South America. However, things went from bad to worse in March, 2015 after heavy rains damaged the only power cables in the area. The villagers were forced to use oil lamps, which are not only expensive but also dangerous because of the harmful gases they produce.
Luckily, researchers at the University of Technology (UT) in Lima, Peru heard about their problem and found a wonderful solution. They made a lamp that can be powered by plants and soil, both of which can be easily found in the Amazonian rainforest where the village lies. The lamp takes energy from a plant growing in a wooden box and uses it to light up an LED light bulb.
While that may sound amazing and even impossible, the science behind the ideas is quite simple. As plants create their food (using the sun’s energy, water and chemicals from the soil), they also produce waste which they return to the soil. Tiny animals in the soil eat this waste and they produce electrons (电子) — the building blocks of electrical energy. The UT team put special sticks inside the soil to capture the energy and keep it in the lamp’s batteries for later use. The researchers say a single charge (电荷) can power a 50-watt LED light for two hours — enough time for local villagers to get their evening work done.
The university give ten Plant Lamps to the villagers of Nuevo Saposoa in October 2015. So far they have been a huge success! Elmer Ramirez, the UT professor who invented the lamp, believes the Plant Lamp could help improve the lives of many people, especially small rainforest communities, 42% of whom have no electricity.
66.What are the problems of oil lamps according to Paragraph 1?
A.They are difficult to use and create pollution.
B.They are expensive to buy and easily damaged.
C.They are difficult to repair and produce little light.
D.They are expensive to use and can be bad for health.
67.The electricity made by the Plant Lamp comes from ________.
A.plant food B.plant waste C.the soil’s heat D.the sun’s energy
68.What is TRUE about the Plant Lamp?
A.It can be made by local people.
B.It is much easier to use than oil lamps.
C.It can produce all the electricity the village needs.
D.The things it needs to make electricity are easy to find.
69.The Plant Lamp’s inventor believes it could be most helpful for ________.
A.rainforest communities B.cars
C.poor people in cities D.farmers
70.What is the purpose of the passage?
A.To report on a new invention. B.To explain a new scientific theory.
C.To describe how electricity is made. D.To discuss the problems of poor villages.
【答案】66.D 67.B 68.D 69.A 70.A
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了秘鲁国家的研究员发明的植物灯,解决了秘鲁一个小村庄Nuevo Saposoa没有电的问题。
【详解】66.细节理解题。根据第一段中“The villagers were forced to use oil lamps, which are not only expensive but also dangerous because of the harmful gases they produce. (村民们被迫使用油灯,这不仅昂贵而且危险,因为它们产生有害气体。)”可知,油灯是一种不仅贵而且还很危险的东西。故选D。
67.推理判断题。根据第三段中“Tiny animals in the soil eat this waste and they produce electrons (电子) — the building blocks of electrical energy. (土壤中的小动物吃了这些废物,就会产生电子——电能的基本组成部分。)”可知,土壤里面的微生物吃掉了植物产生的废物并生成了电子,因此这种植物灯所产生的电来源于植物所产生的废物。故选B。
68.细节理解题。根据第二段中“They made a lamp that can be powered by plants and soil, both of which can be easily found in the Amazonian rainforest where the village lies. (他们制作了一种可以用植物和土壤供电的灯,这种植物和土壤都很容易在村庄所在的亚马逊雨林中找到。)”可知,植物灯生电的材料主要是植物和土壤,而这些在雨林地区很容易找到。故选D。
69.细节理解题。根据最后一段中“the Plant Lamp could help improve the lives of many people, especially small rainforest communities, 42% of whom have no electricity (植物灯可以帮助改善许多人的生活,特别是小型雨林地区,其中42%的人中没有电)”可知,该植物灯更多是用于那些没有供电的地区,如热带雨林。故选A。

For some students, getting better grades can seem like an impossible task sometimes. With the challenges of school, just paying attention in class or studying hard isn’t always enough. But what if there were other ways for students to improve their grades? For parents and students who have ever wondered if this is possible, now you can rest easy. Research suggests that a person who likes doing activities can improve their grades.
Scientists think that those students who are active are not just exercising their bodies, but also exercising their brains. In turn, they can be able to improve their grades at school.
In the most recent study, researchers found that when children played for half an hour each day, they were better at organizing their schoolwork as well as doing project work and learning traditionally “difficult” subjects, such as math.
What does this mean for children who aren’t active? Researchers think that if kids don’t get enough activities, they are going to be at a disadvantage when it comes to school performance.
In the research experiment, a group of children skipped with ropes, played basketball and did a number of other games or exercises. Another group of children didn’t do any activities. They took part in testing both before experiment and after the experiment. Testing was mainly for math and reading skills. Results showed that the children in the activity group did better on the tests than those who had no activity.
All work and no play will not only make Jack a dull boy, but will also negatively affect his grades in school, according to a new study published in the Journal of Pediatrics.
Parents complain children today are actually less active and they always worry about their grades. Dr. Belton, an expert, said, “If you’d like to see your kids do better in school, have them close their books, set down their pencils and go outside to play.”
71.What does the underlined words “rest easy” in Paragraph 1 mean?
A.Stop worrying. B.Keep working.
C.Continue learning. D.Study hard.
72.What kind of children is better at organizing their schoolwork in the most recent study?
A.They study all the time.
B.They play for thirty minutes every day.
C.They finish their homework on time.
D.They do some reading after class every day.
73.In Paragraph 5, what does the research experiment want to show us?
A.Doing activities is bad for the students.
B.Doing more homework can get better marks.
C.The children in the activity group did better on the tests.
D.Children who didn’t do any activities did better on the tests.
74.To help children get better grades, parents should __________.
A.ask the researchers for help
B.help them to organize their schoolwork
C.encourage them to do more activities
D.let them solve problems by themselves
75.What is the best title of the passage?
A.Studying hard. B.Taking part in testing.
C.Doing activities is interesting. D.Being active is helpful for better grades.
【答案】71.A 72.B 73.C 74.C 75.D
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了学生积极参加活动有助于学业成绩提升。家长们应该让孩子们合上书本,放下笔,走出去玩耍,而不是一味的读书。
【详解】71.词句猜测题。根据第一段“For parents and students who have ever wondered if this is possible, now you can rest easy. Research suggests that a person who likes doing activities can improve their grades. (对于曾经想知道这是否可行的家长和学生,现在可以高枕无忧了。研究表明,喜欢做活动的人可以提高他们的成绩。)”可推测,之前想知道是不是有其他提高成绩方法的人可以放心了。故选A。
72.细节理解题。根据第三段“In the most recent study, researchers found that when children played for half an hour each day, they were better at organizing their schoolwork as well as doing project work and learning traditionally “difficult” subjects, such as math. (在最近的一项研究中,研究人员发现,当孩子们每天玩半个小时时,他们在组织家庭作业、做项目工作和学习传统上“困难”的科目,如数学,方面表现得更好。)”可知,每天玩半小时的孩子在功课上表现更好。故选B。
73.细节理解题。根据第五段“Results showed that the children in the activity group did better on the tests than those who had no activity. (结果显示,参加活动组的孩子比不参加活动组的孩子在测试中表现得更好。)”可知,研究实验表明参加活动组的孩子测试表现更好。故选C。
74.细节理解题。根据第七段“If you’d like to see your kids do better in school, have them close their books, set down their pencils and go outside to play. (如果你想看到你的孩子在学校表现得更好,让他们合上书本,放下铅笔,到外面去玩。)”可知,为了帮助孩子得到更好的分数,父母们应该鼓励他们多参加活动。故选C。
75.主旨大意题。根据第一段“Research suggests that a person who likes doing activities can improve their grades. (研究表明,喜欢参与活动的人可以提高他们的成绩。)”及全文讲述积极活动与学业表现的关系等可知,积极的活动有助于取得更好的成绩。故选D。
第二节:判断 (共5小题;每小题1分,满分5分)
请根据下面的短文内容判断下列句子,如果正确就选"T",如果错误就选"F",如果文中没有提到就选"N"。
A man enters a store to buy milk. He walks out of the store only with milk. But when a woman goes into the same store also to buy milk, she buys it, and she also buys chicken and lemons to make dinner that night. Then she remembers to buy food for her son to eat at school.
And that is the difference between the male (男性) and female (女性) brains simply explained in a store. Generally speaking, men do one thing at a time. Women do many. Now scientific research supports this about male and female brains. A recent study has shown that men and women think differently.
Scientists at the University of Pennsylvania studied brain images (图像) of 949 people. They found that male brains have more connections on one side of the brain. In the female brain, they found more activity and connections between the right and left sides of the brain. The left side of the brain is known as the side of “reason”.The right part is known as the “creative” side.
Regina Verma, one of the scientists, says women might use different parts of the brain when they are asked to do something difficult. Men, she adds, use just one side of the brain.
76.Generally speaking, men do one thing at a time while women do many.
77.Scientists have found that men and women think in the same way.
78.Develop the left side of your brain if you want to be more creative.
79.Men use both sides of the brain when doing something difficult.
80.The passage that we read above is a science report.
【答案】76.T 77.F 78.F 79.F 80.NG
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了科学研究表明男性和女性的思维方式不同,同一时间男性通常只做一件事情,而女性可做多件事情。
76.根据第二段中“Generally speaking, men do one thing at a time. Women do many. (一般来说,男人一次只做一件事,女人则做很多事。)”可知,同一时间,男性只做一件而女性可做多见。与所给表述“Generally speaking, men do one thing at a time while women do many. (一般来说,男人一次只做一件事,而女人一次做很多件事。)”相符。故填T。
77.根据第二段最后一句“A recent study has shown that men and women think differently. (最近的一项研究表明男人和女人的思维方式不同。)”可知,男人和女人的思维方式不同,与所给表述“Scientists have found that men and women think in the same way. (科学家发现,男人和女人的思维方式相同。)”不符。故填F。
78.根据第三段最后一句“The right part is known as the “creative” side. (右侧部分被称为“创意”侧。)”可知,右侧部分是负责“创意”的,因此要培养创造力,应开发大脑的右侧部分。与所给表述“Develop the left side of your brain if you want to be more creative. (如果你想要更有创造力,就开发你的左脑。)”不符。故填F。
79.根据最后一段“Regina Verma, one of the scientists, says women might use different parts of the brain when they are asked to do something difficult. Men, she adds, use just one side of the brain. (科学家之一雷吉娜·维尔马表示,女性在被要求完成一些困难的事情时可能会使用大脑的不同部分。她补充说,男性只使用大脑的一侧。)”可知,男性在处理困难的事情时只使用大脑的一侧。与所给表述“Men use both sides of the brain when doing something difficult. (男人在做一些困难的事情时会同时使用大脑的两侧。)”不符。故填F。
80.通读全文及根据第二段最后一句“A recent study has shown that men and women think differently. (最近的一项研究表明男人和女人的思维方式不同。)”可知,这篇文章进一步介绍了一项最新相关男女大脑工作方式的不同点的科学研究,并报告了它的研究成果。所以这篇文章实际上是一份科学报告。与所给表述“The passage that we read above is a science report. (上面我们读到的文章是一篇科学报告。)”相符。故填T。
第三节:简答 (共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
请根据以下短文内容,回答短文后面的问题,答题回答词数不得超过10个单词。
Genes (基因) that control factors such as size, color and shape determine the differences in fruit. And now that scientists have discovered (发现) how to detect different genes, farmers can hand over a young branch to have its genes checked before planting. It works the same way as checking finger-prints (指纹). Once farmers know which trees are good and which are bad, they can give up the bad ones. Farmers can even make new fruit trees according to their own tastes.
In the past three years, tens of thousands of tests were carried out to determine the genetic (基因的) features of fruit. Zhang, a Chinese scientist, showed a photo of a DNA-test and pointed to the shining lines on it, saying that the lines were genetic signs that tell us what a tree’s fruit will be like. For example, the ordinary pear tree bears (生育) fruit after four years. But now it only takes a month to test the DNA from a young leaf and a farmer will know everything about its fruit. By mixing different types of trees with suitable genes, farmers can create whatever fruit trees they want.
81.What factors do genes control?
_____________________________________________________________________________
82.What farmers can do according to their own tastes?
_____________________________________________________________________________
83.What were the signs that tell people what a tree’s fruit will be like?

【答案】81.Size, color and shape. 82.Farmers can even make new fruit trees. 83.Genes. 84.A month. 85.By mixing different types of trees with suitable genes.
【导语】本文主要介绍了基因检测在果树种植上的应用。
【详解】81.根据第一段中“Genes (基因) that control factors such as size, color and shape determine the differences in fruit. (控制大小、颜色和形状等因素的基因决定了水果的差异。)”可知,基因控制大小、颜色和形状。故填:Size, color and shape.
82.根据第一段中“Farmers can even make new fruit trees according to their own tastes. (农民甚至可以根据自己的口味种植新的果树。)”可知,农民可以根据自己的口味种植新的果树。故填:Farmers can even make new fruit trees.
83.根据第二段中“Zhang, a Chinese scientist, showed a photo of a DNA-test and pointed to the shining lines on it, saying that the lines were genetic signs that tell us what a tree’s fruit will be like. (张,一位中国科学家,展示了一张DNA测试的照片,并指着上面闪亮的线条,说这些线条是基因标志,告诉我们一棵树的果实是什么样子的。)”可知,基因是告诉人们一棵树的果实是什么样子的标志。故填:Genes.
84.根据第二段中“For example, the ordinary pear tree bears (生育) fruit after four years. But now it only takes a month to test the DNA from a young leaf and a farmer will know everything about its fruit. (例如,普通的梨树四年后结果。但现在只需要一个月的时间就能检测到一片嫩叶的DNA,农民就能知道它果实的一切。)”可知,如果一个农民想知道一棵树的果实的一切,需要一个月的时间。故填:A month.
85.根据第二段中“By mixing different types of trees with suitable genes, farmers can create whatever fruit trees they want. (通过将不同类型的树木与合适的基因混合,农民可以创造出他们想要的任何果树。)”可知,通过将不同类型的树木与合适的基因混合,农民可以创造出他们想要的任何果树。故填:By mixing different types of trees with suitable genes.

第三部分 阅读理解(共三节,满分 30 分)
第一节:选择 (共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分)
阅读下列短文,从各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
(A)
Psychology (心理学) is important in explaining human nature — and it gives reasons for a few of the situations you notice in yourself and others.
Plan A vs Plan B
In a group of experiments from the University of Pennsylvania, researchers found that when volunteers thought about another plan before starting a task, they did worse than those who hadn’t thought about a Plan B.Besides, when they realized they had choices, their motivation for succeeding at the first time dropped. The researchers point out that thinking ahead is a good idea, but you might be more successful if you keep those plans unclear.
Always Find a Problem
Why does another problem appear, when one problem is solved? It’s not that the world is against you—but your brain might be. Researchers asked volunteers to pick out people who have a threatening (有威胁的) look from faces on a computer. “As we started to show people fewer and fewer threatening faces, they increase their meaning of ‘threatening’ to include more faces,” writes researcher David Levari, PhD.“In other words, when they didn’t have threatening faces to find, they started to think of faces that they used to call harmless as threatening ones.”
Food Tastes Better
Why does that sandwich from the takeout place down the street taste better than the ones you make at home, even if you use the same ingredients (原料)? One study in the magazine Science found that when you make yourself a meal, you’re around it so long that it feels less exciting by the time you actually eat it — and that, as a result, decreases your enjoyment.
That’s why even your neighbor’s sandwich tastes better!
61.If we want to succeed at our first try, what had we better do?
A.Just think ahead. B.Come up with more clear plans.
C.Get plenty of choices. D.Work hard at Plan A.
62.What does the underlined word “motivation” mean?
A.Drive. B.Prize. C.Praise. D.Management
63.What can we learn from the passage?
A.We can not understand human nature. B.We always need a clear Plan B.

Getting electricity has always been a problem for the 173 people living in Nuevo Saposoa, a small village in Peru, South America. However, things went from bad to worse in March, 2015 after heavy rains damaged the only power cables in the area. The villagers were forced to use oil lamps, which are not only expensive but also dangerous because of the harmful gases they produce.
Luckily, researchers at the University of Technology (UT) in Lima, Peru heard about their problem and found a wonderful solution. They made a lamp that can be powered by plants and soil, both of which can be easily found in the Amazonian rainforest where the village lies. The lamp takes energy from a plant growing in a wooden box and uses it to light up an LED light bulb.
While that may sound amazing and even impossible, the science behind the ideas is quite simple. As plants create their food (using the sun’s energy, water and chemicals from the soil), they also produce waste which they return to the soil. Tiny animals in the soil eat this waste and they produce electrons (电子) — the building blocks of electrical energy. The UT team put special sticks inside the soil to capture the energy and keep it in the lamp’s batteries for later use. The researchers say a single charge (电荷) can power a 50-watt LED light for two hours — enough time for local villagers to get their evening work done.
The university give ten Plant Lamps to the villagers of Nuevo Saposoa in October 2015. So far they have been a huge success! Elmer Ramirez, the UT professor who invented the lamp, believes the Plant Lamp could help improve the lives of many people, especially small rainforest communities, 42% of whom have no electricity.
66.What are the problems of oil lamps according to Paragraph 1?

D.They are expensive to use and can be bad for health.
67.The electricity made by the Plant Lamp comes from ________.
A.plant food B.plant waste C.the soil’s heat D.the sun’s energy
68.What is TRUE about the Plant Lamp?
A.It can be made by local people.
B.It is much easier to use than oil lamps.
C.It can produce all the electricity the village needs.
D.The things it needs to make electricity are easy to find.
69.The Plant Lamp’s inventor believes it could be most helpful for ________.
A.rainforest communities B.cars
C.poor people in cities D.farmers
70.What is the purpose of the passage?
A.To report on a new invention. B.To explain a new scientific theory.
C.To describe how electricity is made. D.To discuss the problems of poor villages.

For some students, getting better grades can seem like an impossible task sometimes. With the challenges of school, just paying attention in class or studying hard isn’t always enough. But what if there were other ways for students to improve their grades? For parents and students who have ever wondered if this is possible, now you can rest easy. Research suggests that a person who likes doing activities can improve their grades.
Scientists think that those students who are active are not just exercising their bodies, but also exercising their brains. In turn, they can be able to improve their grades at school.
In the most recent study, researchers found that when children played for half an hour each day, they were better at organizing their schoolwork as well as doing project work and learning traditionally “difficult” subjects, such as math.
What does this mean for children who aren’t active? Researchers think that if kids don’t get enough activities, they are going to be at a disadvantage when it comes to school performance.
In the research experiment, a group of children skipped with ropes, played basketball and did a number of other games or exercises. Another group of children didn’t do any activities. They took part in testing both before experiment and after the experiment. Testing was mainly for math and reading skills. Results showed that the children in the activity group did better on the tests than those who had no activity.
All work and no play will not only make Jack a dull boy, but will also negatively affect his grades in school, according to a new study published in the Journal of Pediatrics.
Parents complain children today are actually less active and they always worry about their grades. Dr. Belton, an expert, said, “If you’d like to see your kids do better in school, have them close their books, set down their pencils and go outside to play.”
71.What does the underlined words “rest easy” in Paragraph 1 mean?
A.Stop worrying. B.Keep working.
C.Continue learning. D.Study hard.
72.What kind of children is better at organizing their schoolwork in the most recent study?
A.They study all the time.
B.They play for thirty minutes every day.
C.They finish their homework on time.
D.They do some reading after class every day.
73.In Paragraph 5, what does the research experiment want to show us?
A.Doing activities is bad for the students.
B.Doing more homework can get better marks.
C.The children in the activity group did better on the tests.
D.Children who didn’t do any activities did better on the tests.
74.To help children get better grades, parents should __________.
A.ask the researchers for help
B.help them to organize their schoolwork
C.encourage them to do more activities
D.let them solve problems by themselves
75.What is the best title of the passage?
A.Studying hard. B.Taking part in testing.
C.Doing activities is interesting. D.Being active is helpful for better grades.

请根据下面的短文内容判断下列句子,如果正确就选"T",如果错误就选"F",如果文中没有提到就选"N"。
A man enters a store to buy milk. He walks out of the store only with milk. But when a woman goes into the same store also to buy milk, she buys it, and she also buys chicken and lemons to make dinner that night. Then she remembers to buy food for her son to eat at school.
And that is the difference between the male (男性) and female (女性) brains simply explained in a store. Generally speaking, men do one thing at a time. Women do many. Now scientific research supports this about male and female brains. A recent study has shown that men and women think differently.
Scientists at the University of Pennsylvania studied brain images (图像) of 949 people. They found that male brains have more connections on one side of the brain. In the female brain, they found more activity and connections between the right and left sides of the brain. The left side of the brain is known as the side of “reason”.The right part is known as the “creative” side.
Regina Verma, one of the scientists, says women might use different parts of the brain when they are asked to do something difficult. Men, she adds, use just one side of the brain.
76.Generally speaking, men do one thing at a time while women do many.

请根据以下短文内容,回答短文后面的问题,答题回答词数不得超过10个单词。
Genes (基因) that control factors such as size, color and shape determine the differences in fruit. And now that scientists have discovered (发现) how to detect different genes, farmers can hand over a young branch to have its genes checked before planting. It works the same way as checking finger-prints (指纹). Once farmers know which trees are good and which are bad, they can give up the bad ones. Farmers can even make new fruit trees according to their own tastes.
In the past three years, tens of thousands of tests were carried out to determine the genetic (基因的) features of fruit. Zhang, a Chinese scientist, showed a photo of a DNA-test and pointed to the shining lines on it, saying that the lines were genetic signs that tell us what a tree’s fruit will be like. For example, the ordinary pear tree bears (生育) fruit after four years. But now it only takes a month to test the DNA from a young leaf and a farmer will know everything about its fruit. By mixing different types of trees with suitable genes, farmers can create whatever fruit trees they want.
