The discussion on renewable energy has been going on for at least a decade and people have relied on fossil fuels almost entirely for more than a century. However, the situation when fossil fuels were the most efficient and the cheapest source of energy has been left far in the past. Many countries such as Germany and Sweden have already made significant efforts to fix this situation, employing numerous power plants working on the renewable resources of energy. The most effective among these resources is geothermal (地热的) energy.
Geothermal ene rgy does not depend on the world’s economic and political situation as strongly as fossil fuels do. Besides, extracting (提炼) fossil fuels adds to the price of energy produced from them. Therefore, geothermal energy is much cheaper than traditional ones, saving up to 80% of the costs over fossil fuels.
Being a renewable resource, geothermal energy produces less waste and pollution than traditional energy sources. In geothermal systems, carbon dioxide makes up about 10% of air produced. Overall, in order to produce the electricity that can be used for one hour, the geothermal systems produce 0.1 pound of carbon dioxide and other harmful gases. For a comparison, a power plant producing from gas produces up to 2 pounds of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, and those power plants that work on coal (煤) produce an astonishing 3.6 pounds of greenhouse gases.
Low costs is another reason why using geothermal power plants should be the first choice for many countries. Geothermal heat systems require 25% to 50% less energy for work compared with the traditional systems for heating or cooling. Besides, geothermal equipment is less big: due to the very nature of geothermal energy, geothermal power plants have only a few moving parts, all of which can be easily sheltered in side a relatively small building. What’s more, the life span of geothermal equipment is rather long. All these make geothermal power stations easy to build and keep.
4. Fossil fuels are more expensive than geothermal energy partly because _______.
A. it is free to use geothermal energy
B. fossil fuels are nearly used up
C. the production of fossil fuels costs a lot
D. geothermal energy doesn’t depend on political situation
5. According to Paragraph 3, what can be concluded from the comparison?
A. Coal is much more efficient than gas.
B. Gas and coal are often used to produce electricity.
C. Geothermal energy is environmentally friendly.
D. The geothermal systems don’t produce harmful gases.
6. Geothermal equipment is usually not as big as that of traditional energy because of ________.
A. the nature of geothermal energy
B. geothermal power plants
C. life span of geothermal equipment
D. the small buildings
7. What is the main idea of this passage?
A. Many countries have benefited from geothermal energy.
B. Geothermal energy is well accepted.
C. Geothermal energy has many advantages.
D. Fossil fuels are being run out of.
【答案】4. C 5. C 6. A 7. C

C
Most people have had songs stuck in their heads at some point. The scientific name for this is involuntary musical imagery (INMI), which simply means that the people do not choose to keep the songs in their heads. Experts have nicknamed this condition “earworm,” even though it is not an actual worm, and it does not take place in the e ar. Rather, it takes place in the memory centers of the brain. It occurs when a catchy tune “sticks” in a person’s mind. What makes a song stick depends on the individual. Some people get stuck on their favorite songs, while others end up fixated (念念不忘的) on songs they find annoying.
Nobody knows exactly why, a particular song gets caught in a person’s brain. It can be brought on after recently hearing a song, or it can be started by a memory. Although earworm can happen to anyone at any time, certain people are more likely than others to suffer from it. Most commonly, musicians experience it, but people who simply listen to music more frequently than others are also more prone to (倾向于) earworm.
No evidence has proven one effective cure, but anything that disturbs the brain can help. The best way to shift the brain is to occupy it with a new activity. For example, actively chewing gum might switch the brain’s focus from the repeating song to the moving jaw. Engaging in a task that requires concentration can remove the annoying earworm as well. However, if the task requires too much effort, it can actually make the earworm last, because the mind tends to wander to escape the difficulty of the job at hand.
While earworm can be very annoying, there is no evidence that suggests it is actually harmful. In fact, some experts are studying earworm to see what they can learn about memory centers. After all, these songs repeat automatically with no effort. What if science could apply this information to learning? What if everyone could learn new things without having to try so hard? If scientists can figure out how to tap into this type of memory, learning might look different in the future.
8. Which description is right about earworm?
A. It is shaped like an insect in the ear.
B. It results from listening to amazing songs.
C. It is a nickname for a disease called INMI.
D. It is a condition happening in one’s brain.
9. Who is more likely to suffer from earworm?
A. A brain scientist.
B. A retired physicist.
C. A famous painter.
D. A pop music fan.
10. Which of the following activity can stop earworm effectively?
A. Reflecting on the song.
B. Going on listening to a song
C. Enjoying a tasty snack.
D. Solving a hard math problem.
11. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. Earworm may make learning less painful.
B. Earworm has little to do with memory.
C. Earworm can be cured by the scientists.
D. Earworm does more good than harm.
【答案】8. D 9. D 10. C 11. A
【解析】
本文属于说明文，介绍歌曲或其它音乐作品的某个片断不由自主地反复在某人脑子里出现的情况叫做耳朵虫，以及耳朵虫的产生及部分有效措施。

【8题详解】
推理判断题。

根据第一段The scientific name for this is involuntary musical imagery (INMI), which simply means that the people do not choose to keep the songs in their heads. Experts have nicknamed this condition “earworm,可知，科学家把这种不自觉的在大脑形成的音乐印象取了个昵称名，叫耳朵虫，故可知耳朵虫是对INMI的昵称，故选D。

【9题详解】
细节理解题。

根据第二段最后一句Most commonly, musicians experience it, but people who simply listen to music more frequently than others are also more prone to (倾向于) earworm.可知，音乐工作者常常会经历这种状况，经常听音乐的更倾向出现这种状况，因此流行音乐爱好者更有可能经历耳朵虫，故选D。

【10题详解】
推理判断题。

根据第三段For example, actively chewing gum might switch the brain’s focus from the repeating song to the moving jaw.可知，吃东西可以转移大脑的注意力，从而帮助耳朵虫现象的消失，根据文章However, if the task requires too much effort, it can actually make the earworm last可知，如果一个问题需要很大的努力，那么不会对耳朵虫的消失有帮助，故不选D，综述选C。

【11题详解】
推理判断题。

根据最后一段If scientists can figure out how to tap into this type of memory, learning might look different in the future.可知，如果科学家能够找到利用耳朵虫现象融入记忆的办法，那么未来的学习方法将会不一样，这说明耳朵虫现象也是有好处的，让学习记忆不再那么的痛苦，故选A。

D
As the parent of a 7-year-old boy, sometimes I feel like “no” is my most frequently said word. But if I look honestly at the big picture of my daily vocabulary, I probably would conclude that it actually contains too much “yes”. Saying yes means opening myself up to new experiences, inviting new or deeper relationships. But too much “yes” leaves any of us feeling anxious, overcommitted (过分受约束的) and powerless to set and maintain boundaries in our lives.
This had been on my mind when The Book of No: 365 Ways to Say It and Mean It —and Stop People-Pleasing Forever came across my desk. The new edition of this decade-old book by psychologist Susan Newman is a
must-read book for those of us who struggle to say “no” with authenticity, confidence and kindness.
Newman calls people who feel forced to say yes all their way through life “people-pleasers”. The chief symptoms of this condition include associating helping others with your self-respect, holding expectations that you will care for others and feeling unwilling to state your own needs when a request comes your way. For
people-pleasers, “yes is the path of least resistance and the way to avoid damaging your relationship with the asker,” Newman writes.
The book offers brief dialogues for hundreds of scenarios in which “no” is the right answer, for reasons ranging from time management to financial pressures to emotional boundaries. Newman considers what came about among friends, at work, within families and in parenting. Reading through the scenarios, I realized they have some things in common —things that immediately started helping me improve my “no” skills.
Do you think this book might be helpful to you? It’s OK if the answer is “no”, but I do highly recommend it for your Positive Reading List shelf.
12. Why does the author include his own personal experience in Paragraph 1?
A. To blame himself.
B. To show how to guide kids.
C. To tell his likes and dislikes.
D. To help recommend a book.
13. What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 3?
A. How to deal with a request.
B. Why askers turn to others for a favor.
C. Why people-pleasers say “yes” too often.
D. How to strengthen relationships with askers.
14. What does the underlined word “scenarios” probably mean?
A. Occasions.
B. Processes.
C. Adventures.
D. Stories.
15. What does the author advise us to do?
A. Give no response to any demand.
B. Learn to say “no” in a positive way.
C. Keep open all channels of communication.
D. Say “yes” constantly without feeling guilty.
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. A 15. B
【解析】
说“是”意味着让自己接受新的体验，邀请新的或更深层次的关系。

但是，太多的“是”让我们感到焦虑、过度承诺和无力在我们的生活中设定和维持界限。

本文建议我们学会用积极的方式说“不”。

【12题详解】
推理判断题。

根据第一段中But too much “yes” leaves any of us feeling anxious, overcommitted（过分受约束的）and powerless to set and maintain boundaries in our lives.和第二段中The new edition of this decade-old book by psychologist Susan Newman is a must-read book for those of us who struggle to say “no” with authenticity, confidence and kindness.可知，作者在第1段中包含了他自己的个人经历是为了推荐一本书。

故选D。

【13题详解】
段落大意题。

根据第三段中Newman calls people who feel forced to say yes all their way through life “people-pleasers”. 和For people-pleasers, “yes is the path of least resistance and the way to avoid damaging your relationship with the asker,” Newman writes.可知，第三段主要谈论的是“为什么取悦别人的人总是说“是”。

”故选C。

【14题详解】
词义猜测题。

根据倒数第二段中Newman considers what came about among friends, at work, within families and in parenting. （Newman考虑了朋友、工作、家庭和养育子女之间的关系。

）Reading through the scenarios, I realized they have some things in common－things that immediately started helping me improve my “no” skills.（通
过阅读这些场景，我意识到他们有一些共同的事情，这些事情立即开始帮助我提高我的“不”技能。

）由此可知划线词的意思是“场合，场景”，故选A。

【15题详解】
推理判断题。

根据最后一段Do you think this book might be helpful to you? It’s OK if the answer is “no”, but I do highly recommend it for your Positive Reading List shelf.可知，作者建议我们学会用积极的方式说“不”。

故选B。

【点睛】
