英语试题（含答案解析）
1 Are you interested in hi-tech products? Here are some that you might find at the market pretty soon.
CX-1
Tired of dragging your bag through busy airports? Then you might want to consider CX-1. The smart suitcase uses facial recognizing software to follow its owner as he / she is checking in or heading to the gate. Though CX-1 can only move at a speed of up to seven miles per hour, a tiny tool enables owners to keep track of the suitcase’s location. It is expected to be sold on the market by late 2018.
Aibo
Sony’s latest version of the Aibo robotic dog is almost as fun as the real thing—but much less work. The pet dog can recognize its owner, obey several commands, and even recall the behavior that pleases its master the most. Aibo can also learn new tricks, take photographs, and over time, develop its own unique personality.
Forpheus
Forpheus, an “athletic” rob ot developed by Japanese technology company Omron. It teaches users how to play ping-pong. The 10-feet-tall machine uses a camera and artificial intelligence to track the ball’s speed and can predict the ball’s direction correctly. The smart Forpheus can a lso quickly test its player’s abilities and adjust the playing level, making the game fun.
Black Box VR
Though many people determine to go to the gym once a week, few reach their goal. Black Box VR wants to change that by turning hard exercise into fun video games. Using it, gym users will find themselves fighting enemies, including big creatures—all while getting exercise.
1. What is the feature of CX-1?
A. It can be opened by facial expressions.
B. It can recognize and follow its owner.
C. It can move very fast in busy places.
D. It can sense the suitcase’s location.
2. Who would most probably want an Aibo?
A. People who want to walk a dog.
B. People who often play tricks on others.
C. People who want to take high-quality photographs.
D. People who want a dog but can’t look after a real one.

2 Can animals be artistic? Some experts think so. Painting and music are part of efforts to keep animals happy at the Smithsonian’s National Zoo. Zookeepers there believe that animals need enrichment just like people do.
A sloth bear (长毛熊) called Francois is one of the National Zoo’s artists. He began his artistic career two years ago. Francois has a very unusual way to paint. He uses his breath to paint. His zookeeper, Stacey Tabellario, says that although the technique may look strange, it is actually a very natural behavior for sloth bears. They have got big lungs and they can breathe out a huge amount of air. The zookeepers fill one of those tubes fill of paint and ask them to breathe through it And they
blow all of the paint onto the canvas (画布), making the really cool paintings. Animal artists come in all shapes and sizes at the Zoo. They use many kinds of techniques to create their works of art. Apes use paintbrushes. Many use their paws or claws — much like a human painter would use his or her hands.
Stacey Tabellario says Francois seems to enjoy expressing himself through his art. “When I set up the materials for painting activity, he comes and sits next to them and waits until we are ready to start painting. He does that every time. I also see where his eyes go. He dose see the paints come out of the tube and land on the canvas.” But not every animal wants to paint.
Music is another part of the arts enrichment program. Physically and mentally interesting (有趣味的) activities are an important part of the daily care of the animals. Trainers have a set of tools, from tablet computers to small toys. Kenton Kerns says the program helps the animals and the zookeepers in many ways. Every interaction between keepers and their animals creates some sort of connections. The one-of-a-kind works of art created by the animals are popular with zoo visitors. Many are sold at the zoo’s fundraising events.
4. What is the best title for the text?
A. Art Works in the Zoo
B. Zoo Animals Show Artistic Side
C. Animals can Earn Money
D. Animals Enjoy Painting
5. What can we learn from the second paragraph?
A. Francois is a two-year-old artist at the National Zoo.
B. Francois’ way to paint is unusual for sloth bears.
C. Francois’ big lungs determine the way it paints.
D. Francois paints with the help of his feet.
6. According to Stacey Tabellario, Francois __________.
A. is fond of painting
B. likes to stay with other animals
C. often shows the painting to the audience
D. wants to get attention from the zookeepers by painting
7. What do we know about the art program according to Kenton Kerns?
A. It enriches the keepers’ life.
B. It makes the animals clever.
C. It intends to collect money for the zoo.
D. It deepens the relationship between animals and keepers.
【答案解析】 4. B 5. C 6. A 7. D

3 Some hot dog lovers may feel guilty when they enjoy their favorite food. They even exercise excessively(过分的)to burn off calories afterward. Now they can relieve the pain. A company in Norway develops a product made from trees. It can replace fat in foods like hot dogs but has no calories.
A product named SenseFi is introduced to the public by a Norwegian biorefinery company, Borregaard. Though its taste and feel are similar to those of fat, no calories are contained in it.
The material used to create this product is microfibrillated cellulose(MFC), which is a waste product that trees produce when they are cut and prepared for use. Every year there is over a hundred billion tons of cellulose(纤维素) produced by plants, among which only a small part is now useful to humans.
According to a report from the Norwegian daily newspaper Dagbladet, Borregard has spent $36.3 million on developing SenseFi. This project went through a 10-year study conducted by the Paper and Fibre Research institute in Trondheim, Norway. It successfully entered the U.S. market and the company opened a plant in Wisconsin. The food industry there was expected to embrace the arrival of SenseFi.
The company is speaking highly of this product for its incredible effect on fighting against obesity(肥胖). “We're rolling it out primarily i n the U.S., where it has been approved. Sales are just about underway, and there is a lot of focus on fighting obesity," said the company's Business Director Harald Ronneberg.
Data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows that about 40 percent of adults are overweight, and in 2008, the cost of medical treatment of obesity was $147.
With the help of SenseFi, meat used for making foods like hot dogs can be recreated. Not only does it keep the flavor of fat, but it also reduces calorie intake while providing the body with more fiber, which helps people fill themselves up and digest more effectively.
8. What do we know about the raw material of SenseFi?
A. It helps cut trees.
B. It comes from trees.
C. It is similar to hot dogs in taste.
D. It exists in a small amount.
9. What does the underlined word "embrace" in Paragraph 3 possibly mean?
A. Spread.
B. Increase.
C. Welcome.
D. Praise.
10. Which factor of SenseFi would appeal to customers most?
A. It doesn't have any calories.
B. It keeps the feel and flavor of fat
C. It provides different kinds of nutrition.
D. It is based on a 10-year study.
11. Why does Borregaard introduce the product mainly in America?
A. It opened a plant in Wisconsin.
B. The food industry in America is booming-
C. Most Americans think highly of the products.
D. Many Americans suffer from problems linked to obesity.
【答案解析】 8. B 9. C 10. A 11. D
本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了挪威生物炼制公司Borregaard生产了一种名为SenseFi的由树木制成的产品，它的味道与脂肪相似，但它不含卡路里，主要是为了解决与肥胖有关的问题。

【8题详解】
细节理解题。

根据第一段最后一句提到“A company in Norway develops a product made from trees. It can replace fat in foods like hot dogs but has no calories.”（挪威的一家公司开发了一种由树木制成的产品。

它可以替代热狗等食物中的脂肪，但没有热量。

）可知，SenseFi的原材料来自“树木”。

故选B。

【9题详解】
词句猜测题。

根据划线单词前文“It successfully entered the U.S. market and the company op ened a plant in Wisconsin.”（它成功地进入了美国市场，并在威斯康辛州开了一家工厂。

）及划线单词后为动词宾语“the arrival of SenseFi.”可推知，SenseFi将作为产品进入市场，食品行业有望“迎接”SenseFi的到来。

embrace的意思是“迎接”，相当于welcome，故选C。

【10题详解】
细节理解题。

根据第二段内容“A product named SenseFi is introduced to the public... no calories ar e contained in it.”（挪威生物炼制公司Borregaard向公众介绍了一种名为SenseFi的产品。

虽然它的味道和感觉与脂肪相似，但它不含卡路里。

）通读全文可知，主要介绍的是对抗肥胖的这个产品，味道和脂肪相似，很多食物都能做到；由此可知，SenseFi 最吸引顾客的因素是“它不含任何卡路里”。

故选A。

【11题详解】
推理判断题。

根据倒数第二段提到“Data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows that about 40 percent of adults are overweight, and in 2008, the
cost of medical treatment of obesity was $147.” (美国疾病控制与预防中心(Centers for Disease Control and Prevention)的数据显示，大约40%的成年人超重，2008年，肥胖的医疗费用高达147美元。

)故可推知，Borregaard选择美国作为主要市场，推广SenseFi 这个产品，是因为许多美国人患有与肥胖相关的问题。

故选D。

4 Teenagers who start the school day really early are likely to weigh slightly more than those who start later. That's the finding of a new study of nearly 30,000 Canadians between the ages of 10 and 18.
Getting too little sleep can put kids at risk for a number of problems. Sleepy teens are more likely to be overweight, to have trouble concentrating and to struggle in school. Genevieve Gariepy, who works at McGill University in Montreal, Canada, wanted to know how earlier school start times night be connected with weight. "Overweight in teenagers is a big problem in North America," she says. The number of overweight kids has grown over the past 30 years. About one in three American and Canadian teens are now overweight. Kids who don't sleep enough may be at higher risk. So Gariepy decided to focus on the impact of school start times.
Her team collected start times for 362 Canadian schools. Then they asked students at those schools to give their height and weight. In all, they collected data from nearly 30,000 10-to 18-year-olds. Among 6th-to 10th-graders, those who started school earlier were likely to be slightly heavier for their height. Every 10-minute delay in school start time was connected, on average, with a slightly lower weight among students who were the same sex, age and height. However, the difference is slight. Healthy eating and getting enough exercise will play a bigger role in keeping a healthy weight.
Because the study compared kids who already started school at different times of day, it's not clear that changing school start time would help heavier kids lose weight. To know for sure, researchers would want to compare the same kids before and after changing to a later school start time.
Still, the study is a good start, says Cora Collette Bruener, a doctor at Seattle Children's Hospital in Washington. The findings add to a growing pile of evidence that later school start times might be better for teen health, she says.
12. What is the finding of the new study?
A. More and more teens are growing overweight.
B. Healthy diets and enough exercise help reduce weight.
C. Teens who start school earlier are a little overweight.
D. Teens who start school earlier do not perform well.
13. To keep a healthy weight, teenagers need______________.
A. much sleep
B. earlier school start time
C. less sleep
D. a balanced diet and enough exercise
14. How did Gariepy's team get their findings?
A. By recording the teens' weight.
B. By checking the teens' physical health.
C. By comparing different sets of data.
D. By measuring the teens' height.
15. What does Cora Collette Bruener think of the study?
A. It has inspiring value.
B. It lacks further support.
C. It needs improving
D. It is well designed.
【答案解析】 12. C 13. D 14. C 15. A

故选D。

Every 10-minute delay in school start time was connected, on average, with a lightly lower weight among students who were the same sex, age and height.”(在6年级至10年级的学生中，较早入学的人相对于他们的身高而言可能体重稍重一些。

平均而言，在同性别，年龄和身高的学生中，平均每延迟10分钟的上学时间，体重就会轻一点。

)因此可知，Gariepy的团队是
通过比较不同的几组数据来得出结论的。

故选C。

【15题详解】
推理判断题。

根据最后一段中的“Still, the study is a good start, says Cora C ollette Bruener, a doctor at Seattle Children’s Hospital in Washington. The findings add to a growing pile of evidence that later school start time might be better for teen health, she says.”(华盛顿西雅图儿童医院的医生Cora Collette Bruener表示，这项研究是一个良好的开端。

这些发现使越来越多的证据表明晚一些的上学时间可能对青少年的健康更好。

)因此 Cora Collette Bruener认为这项研究具有启发性的价值。

故选A。

5 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。

Feeding bread to the ducks is a fond pastime for many of us, reminding us of happy childhood trips to the local park.____16____Eating it can cause our feathered friends to develop a condition called Angel Wing, which is when too much bread makes birds’ feathers grow too quickly. This additional weight puts a strain on their muscles, causing their wings to twist and drop open, and if not treated fast, they can lose the ability to fly.
“Angel Wing can be cured if we reach birds before it has developed too severely,” says Caroline Simpson, a trustee of UK charity Swan Lifeline. “____17____” Over the last 20 years UK charity Swan Lifeline has rescued and treated more than 30,000 birds. Adult birds can develop heart disease by eating much bread, so it’s important that we do our best to prevent this by feeding then with the right kind of food. ____18____Rotten (腐烂的) bread at the bottom of rivers and lakes allows bacteria to produce, spreading disease and attracting rats and other pests to our waterways, which can result in the presence of a mould (霉菌) called Aspergillus. It has the potential to kill waterfowl (水禽) and other wildlife if it gets into their lungs. ____19____Giving birds the right food —like frozen peas, sweetcorn and some other plants — is good for both them and the environment. They can float on the water surface, and birds can enjoy them.____20____
A. So we must stop feeding the ducks.
B. But did you know that bread actually puts birds in danger?
C. This doesn’t mean we have to stop fun trips to feed the ducks.
D. Bread can also cause harmful changes to the natural ecosystem (生态系统).
E. What a scene it is to watch ducks eating bread loating on the river.
F. Otherwise the results can be serious — such as the loss of the wing.
G. So next time take a healthier alternative and do your bit to protect our precious wildlife.
【答案解析】 16. B 17. F 18. D 19. C 20. G
本文是说明文。

文章指出为了保护动物的健康和生态系统，要选择正确的食物喂动物。

【16题详解】
上文“Feeding bread to the ducks is a fond pastime for many of us, reminding us of happy childhood trips to the local park.(给鸭子喂面包是我们大多数人都喜欢的消遣活动，提醒我们童年时去当地公园的欢乐旅程)”说明人们爱喂鸭子食物，把喂鸭子当乐趣。

B项“But did you know that bread actually puts birds in danger?(但你知道面包实际上会让鸟类处于危险之中吗？)”能承上启下。

其中bread是关键词，“in danger”与下文描述一致。

故选B。

【17题详解】
上文““Angel Wing can be cured if we reach birds before it has developed too severely,” says Caroline Simpson, a trustee of UK charity Swan Lifeline. (如果我们能在鸟儿的翅膀发育得过于严重之前找到它们，它们的天使之翼是可以治愈的，”英国慈善机构Swan Lifeline的受托人Caroline Simpson表示)”说明Caroline Simpson有办法在天使之翼发育得过于严重之前，治愈鸟类。

F项“Otherwise the results can be serious — such as the loss of the wing.(否则，结果可能会很严重——比如失去翅膀)”是上文的反例，如果不治愈天使之翼，会产生的坏结果。

故选F。

【18题详解】
下文“Rotten (腐烂的) bread at the bottom of rivers and lakes allows bacteria to produce, spreading disease and attracting rats and other pests to our waterways, which can result in the presence of a mould (霉菌) called Aspergillus. (在河湖底腐烂的面包会滋生细菌，传播疾病，吸引老鼠和其他害虫进入我们的河道，这可能导致一种叫做曲霉的霉菌的存在)”说明腐烂的面包对水源有危害。

D项“Bread can also cause harmful changes to the natural ecosystem (生态系统). (面包也会对自然生态系统造成有害的变化)”是对本段的概括，说明面包也会产生危害。

故选D。

19题详解】
下文“Giving birds the right food — like frozen peas, sweetcorn and some other plants — is good for both them and the environment.(给鸟儿正确的食物——如冷冻豌豆、甜玉米和其他一些植物——对它们和环境都有好处)”说明为了保护动物和环境，不是要禁止喂食物，而是要选择正确的食物。

C项“This doesn’t mean we have to stop fun trips to feed the ducks.(这不意味着我们要停止喂鸭子，不意味着要结束快乐的旅行)”是对本段的概括，承上启下，目的是要我们选择合适的食物。

故选C。

【20题详解】
上文“They can float on the water surface, and birds can enjoy them.(它们能浮在水面上，然后鸟儿就可以吃它们了)”解释了前文所说的为什么要选择正确的食物。

G项“So next time take a healthier alternative.(因此下次要带更健康的食物)”与上文一致。
