2018-2019学年高二英语上学期周测试题二第一部分：阅读理解（共25小题；每小2分，满分50分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
A ★First aid is emergency care for a victim with sudden illness or an injury until more skillful medical treatment is available. It m ay save a life or improve certain important signs including pul se, temperature,clear airway and breathing. In minor emergen cies, first aid may prevent a victim's condition from turning wor se and provide relief from pain. First aid must be done as quic kly as possible. In the case of the seriously injured, a few min utes can make a difference.First-aid measures depend upon a victim's needs and the provider' s level of knowledge and skill.Knowing what not to do in an e mergency is as important as knowing what to do.Improperly m oving a person with a neck injury, for example, can lead to per manent spinal(脊柱的 ) injury and paralysis (瘫痪) . Despite the variety of injuries , several principles of first aid ca n be applied to all emergencies. The first step is to call for expert medical help. The victim, if conscious, should be reassur ed that medical aid has been requested, and asked for permis sion to provide any first aid. Next, assess the accident scene by asking people around or the injured person's family or frien ds about details of the injury or illness, any care that may hav e already been given, and pre-existing conditions such as diabetes(糖尿病) or heart trouble. The victim should be checked for a medic al card that describes special conditions. Unless the accident scene becomes unsafe or the victim may suffer further injury, do not move the victim.First aid requires rapid assessment of victims to decide wheth er life-threatening conditions exist. One method for evaluating a victi m's condition is known as ABC, which stands for:A-Airway: Is it open and clear?B-B-Breathing: Is the person breathing? Look,listen, and feel for br eathing.C-Circulation: Is there a pulse? Is the person bleeding? Check s kin color and temperature for additional indications of circulati on problems.1.First aid may bring about all the following results EXCEPT__ ______A.saving a victim's lifeB.preventing a victim's condition from getting worseC.relieving a victim from painD.helping a person avoid sudden illness or injury2.In giving first aid to a victim, you should first of all______A.remove his/her from the accident sceneB.turn him/her overC.call for professional medical helpD.examine him/her carefully3.You may assess a victim's condition by all the following EX CEPT_________A.checking whether there is a pulseB.looking, listening and feeling for breathingC.measuring his/her blood pressureD.examining whether the airway is open and clearB ★Both of my parents worked full-time when I was a little girl, so my grandmother would stay atour house during the day. We would watch game shows in th e living room. Our favorite show was The Price is Right. We w ould call out our answers along with the contestants.When I got older and started going to school, we couldn’t wat ch our game shows regularly. That was okay with me, though because one thing I liked better than watching game shows wi th my grandmother was helping her bake(供烤）cakes. Watching her in the kitchen was amazing: she never s eemed to need the recipes but everything she madetasted delicious.At first I would just sit in the kitchen and watch, even though I didn’t understand what she was doing, As I got older, she let me help with the easy parts, such as measuring the sugar. Th e day she let me separate the eggs, I felt like I had found com plete pleasure.Later my parents decided that I could take care of myself, and my grandmother stopped coming over every day. The love of baking, however, stayed with me. I started baking by myself, and even if the cookies ended up burnt sometimes, more ofte n they turned out pretty well. I tried out new recipes, and whe never I got to a thorny part, I would call my grandmother for a dvice. Sometimes I would call her just to talk, too. I felt like I c ould talk to her about anything.My grandmother passed away ten years ago, but I still think of her every day. Last week, I found a recipe book she made for me. It included her recipes for brownies, cookies, and my fav orite, lemon pie. As I looked through the pages, I thought I co uld hear her voice. She was the one who taught me not just a bout baking, but about life.The passage is mainly developed by_ .A. analyzing causesB. making comparisonsC. examining differencesD. following the time order5. While helping her grandmother bake, the author_.A. turned out to be a troublemakerB. found it interesting and appealingC. hoped to make a living by bakingD. regretted missing the game shows6. What does the underlined word “thorny” in Paragraph 4 mo st probably mean?A. Basic.B. Common.C. Difficult.D. Special.7. What’s the author’s purpose in writing this passage?A. To remember her grandmother.B. To show her good baking skills.C. To talk about her happy family life.D. To describe her childhood memories.C ★Reading can be a social activity. Think of the people who belo ng to book groups. They choose books to read and then meet to discuss them. Now, the website Book turns t he page on the traditional idea of a book group.Members go on the site and register the books they own and would like to share. Book Crossing provides an identification n umber to stick inside the book. Then the person leaves it in a public place, hoping that the book will have an adventure, trav eling far and wide with each new reader who finds it.Bruce Peterson, the managing director of Book Crossing, say s, “The two things that change your life are the people you me et and books you read. Book Crossing combines both.”Members leave books on park benches and buses, in train st ations and coffee shops. Whoever finds their book will go to th e site and record where they found it.People who find a book can also leave a journal entry descri bing what they thought of it. E-mails are then sent to the Book Crossing to keep them update d about where their books have been found. Bruce Peterson s ays the idea is for people not to be selfish by keeping a book t o gather dust on a shelf at home.Book Crossing is part of a trend among people who want to g et back to the “real” and not the virtual(虚拟). The site now has more than one million members in more than one hundred thirty-five countries.8. Why does the author mention book groups in the first parag raph?A. To explain what they are.B.To introduce Book Crossing.C. To stress the importance of reading.D. To encourage readers to share their ideas.9. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2refer to?A. The book.B.An adventure.C.A public place.D. The identification number.10. What will a Book Crosser do with a book after reading it?A. Meet other readers to discuss it.B.Keep it safe in his bookcase.C. Pass it on to another reader.D.Mail it back to its owner.11. What is the best title for the text?A. Online Reading: A Virtual TourB. Electronic Books: A new TrendC. A Book Group Brings Tradition BackD. A Website Links People through BooksD ★Have you ever received a gift that was so clearly not your tast e that you wondered if perhaps it had been handed to you by mistake? Worse, have you ever given a present and watched your friend look as though she had opened the wrong box? M aybe she responded with a polite " thank you," but you knew y ou had missed the mark. Why do presents sometimes go wro ng? And what personal qualities do your choices reflect? Choosing the right gift is an art, I believe. It calls for empathy －the ability to put yourself into someone else' s shoes. We're al l able to do this; in fact, we're born with a kind of natural empa thy. After the earliest period of childhood, however, it needs to be reinforced (加强) by our parents, teachers, friends and so on. When it isn't, we're not able to understand other people's feelings . This can be shown in the gifts we select, and so can many other emoti onal qualities.Think back to the presents you've given over the past year , the time and effort you put into your selection, the money yo u spent, your thoughts while you were shopping,and your feeli ngs when the receiver opened the package. Keep in mind that what you choose displays your inner world. Of course, you m ay express yourself differently with different friends, relatives, and other people you know.We live in a society where exchanging presents is an imp ortant part of communication. Ignoring the tradition won't mak e it go away. If you really dislike such a tradition, tell your frien ds ahead of time.12. The underlined expression "you had missed the mark"me ans "you had failed to _____".A. make her feel betterB. keep your friendshipC. receive a present in returnD. get the expected effect13. Which of the following is the main ideas of the second par agraph?A. Natural empathy needs to be reinforced.B. Emotional changes influence one's choice of gifts.C. Selecting the right gift is an ability people are born with.D. Choosing gifts requires one to understand the receivers.14. In the third paragraph, the author tells us that _____.A. attention should be paid to the receiver's responsesB. one learns from what he did in the pastC. the choice of gifts reflects one's emotional qualitiesD. one should spend more time choosing gifts15. The best possible title for this passage is"_____".A. Ways of Choosing GiftsB. An Important TraditionC. Exchanging PresentsD. Message in a GiftE★In the depths of the French Guianese rainforest, there still re main unusual groups of indigenous(土著的) people. Surprisingly, these people live largely by their own laws and their own social customs. And yet, people in this ar ea are in fact French citizens because it has been a colony(殖民地) of the French Republic since 1946. In theory, they should l ive by the French law is often ignored or unknown, thus makin g them into an interesting area of “lawlessness” in the world.The lives of these people have finally been recorded thanks to the effects of a Frenchman form Paris called Gin. Gin spent fi ve months in early 2015 exploring the most remote corners of this area, which sits on the edge of the Amazon rainforest, wit h half its population of only 250,000 living in its capital, Cayen ne.“I have a special love for the French Guianese people. I have worked there on and off for almost ten years,” says Gin. “I’ve been able to keep firm friendships with them. Thus I have bee n allowed to gain access to their living environment. I don’t se e it as a lawless land. But rather I see it as an area of freedom .”“I wanted to show the audience a photographic record touchin g upon the uncivilized life,” continues Gin. “I prefer to work in black and white, which allows me to show different specific w orlds more clearly.”His black-and-white pictures present a world almost lost in time. These pictu res show people seemingly pushed into a world that they wer e unprepared for. These local citizens now have to balance th eir traditional self-supporting hunting lifestyle with the lifestyle offered by the mo dern French Republic, which brings with it not only necessarystate welfare, but also alcoholism, betrayal and even suicide.16.Why does the author feel surprised about the indigenous p eople in French Guiana?A. They seldom follow the French law.B. They often ignore the Guianese law.C. They are separated from the modern world.D. They are both Guianese and French citizens.17..Gin introduced the special world of the indigenous Guiane se as _________.A. a tour guideB. a geographerC. a film directorD. a photographer18.What is Gin’s attitude towards the lives of the indigenous Guianese?A.

In fact, the key to easy morning wa ke-up lies in resting your body clock . 21 Here is how to make one.● 22 In order to make a change, you need to decide why it 's important. Do you want to get up in time to have breakfast with your family, get in some exercise, or just be better prepar ed for your day? Once you are clear about your reason, tell yo ur family or roommates about the change you want to make.● Rethink mornings. Now that you know why you want to wake up, consider re-arranging your morning activities. If you want time to have bre akfast with your family, save some time the night before by se tting out clothes, shoes, and bags. 23 That’s a quarter-hour more you could be sleeping if you bought a coffee maker with a timer.● Keep your sleep/wake schedule on weekends. If you’re tired out by Friday night, sleeping in on Saturday could sound wo nderful. But compensating on the weekends actually feeds int o your sleepiness the following week, a recent study found. 24●Keep a record and evaluate it weekly.

Neither side feels hurt by this. Both may exchange Christmas greetin gs for a year or two, perhaps a few letters for a while—then no more. If the same two people meet again by chance, even years later, they pick up the friendship. This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand, because friendships be tween us flower more slowly but then may become lifelong fe elings, extending (延伸) sometimes deeply into both families. Americans are ready to receive us foreigners at their home s, share their holidays, and their home life. They will enjoy wel coming us and be pleased if we accept their hospitality (好客)easily.Another difficult point for us Chinese to understand America ns is that although they include us warmly in their personal ev eryday lives, they don’t show their politeness to us if it requires a great deal of time. This is usually the opposite of the practi ce in our country where we may be generous with our time. S ometimes, we, as hosts, will appear at airports even in the mi ddle of the night to meet a friend. We may take days off to act as guides to our foreign friends. The Americans, however, ex press their welcome usually at homes, but truly can not mana ge the time to do a great deal with a visitor outside their daily r outine (常规).They will probably expect us to get ourselves from the airp ort to our own hotel by bus. And they expect that we will phon e them from there. Once we arrive at their homes, the welcom e will be full, warm and real. We will find ourselves treated ho spitably.For the Americans, it is often considered more friendly to i nvite a friend to their homes than to go to restaurants, except for purely business matters. So accept their hospitality at hom e!1. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. Americans will continue their friendships again even after a long break.B .Friendships between Americans usually extend deeply into their family.C .Friendships between Americans usually last for all their lives.D. Americans always show their warmth even if they are very busy.2. From the last two paragraphs we can learn that when we ar rive in to visit an American friend, we will probably be .A. warmly welcomed at the airportB treated hospitably at his homeC. offered a ride to his homeD. treated to dinner in a restaurant3.The underlined words “gener ous with our time” in Para-graph 3 probably mean_________。

Unlike Hu, another one picked up his mobile phone in less t han 20 minutes. “Having seen many students use their mobile phones in the library, a habit that shortens their study time an d negatively impacts their learning, we decided to open this re ading room,” said Zhang Shuran,the person responsible for th e project at the university.Zhang added that students can keep their phones in appointe d bags with numbers on them. The bags are placed on a desk near the door of the reading room. “Staff members at the reading room will check the phones when there's a call, ”said Zha ng, adding that they will inform students when their parents or teachers call them, but will not tell students if an unknown per son is calling or when there is a text message. Based on the ti me students hand in their phones when they come to the read ing room and the time they get them back when they leave th e room, Hu Xiaopeng from College of Animal Science and Te chnology of the university set a record of the longest time. Hu spent 530 minutes studying without using his phone. Though f eeling somewhat surprised, Hu said, “It's bad to keep mobile phone with you when you are reading or studying.”The campaign has attracted nearly 200 students since it was l aunched a week ago.

However, that's all part of the attraction of the Beer Mi le, a unique race that has participants competing in running a nd drinking. The Beer Mile Race started off as a tradition in 19 90, when a group of Canadians thought it would be fun to rac e each other while drinking a few beers. But it has come a long way since then. The Beer Mile Race is now a major sporting event with around 100,000 official competitors, brand name s ponsors and so on. In 2015, the first Beer Mile World Classic was held in San Francisco, where all of the record holders fro m Canada and the United States came together for the comp etition. But this year, the event was organized in London, in a n effort to take in more competitors about the sport outside No rth America.The rules of the race are pretty simple: runners have to consu me four beers before each of the four 400-meter laps making up the famous Beer Mile.The beers can co me in bottles or cans but should not be less than 355ml and must be at least 5% alcohol. The drink like apple juice will not do. Runners must drink the beers within a 10 meter zone befo re the start/finish line and then they are required to tip the bott le/can over their heads to confirm it is empty.In the case of vomiting（呕吐）during the race, and yes, there’s quite a bit of that during the Beer Mile, offenders must complete one more lap at the end o f the race. Organizers mention that even in the case of vomiti ng several times, only one more lap must be completed.This year, the Elite Men's race was won by Canadian Corey B ellemore,who also set a new world record with a time of 4 minutes and 34 seconds.“I just drink the beers as quickly as I cou ld, hold them down and get the burps（饱嗝）out,”Corey said. “If you can drink a beer in 8 seconds and als o run very fast with a feeling of vomiting, then you’ll be fine like me.”29. What can we know about the Beer Mile Race from Paragr aph 1?A. It was highly admired by drinkers.B. It was developed v ery well.C. It was criticized by many people.D. It was only held in Engli sh speaking countries.30. The purpose the 2016 Beer Mile held in London was_____ _.A. to collect more fund for the sportB. to raise wide awareness about the sportC. to encourage competitors to put more efforts into itD. to attract more people worldwide to participate in it31. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?A. The rules of drinking beers.B. The rules of the Beer Mile Race.C. The standard of drinking beers.D. The zones of drinking b eers.32.What is implied in Corey's words in the last paragraph?A. Everybody can run in the race if they are interested.B. The speed of drinking beers makes him win.C. A lot of preparations are needed to win the race.D. It is not easy for him to win the race.DThose who claim bananas are fattening argue that bananas c ause the body to make lots of insulin (胰岛素), and insulin causes fat growth.How much insulin we produce is related to how fast food beco mes sugar in our bloodstream. How can you know if food mak es a lot of sugar quickly? The glycemic index(血糖指数), or GI rating tells us. Foods with GI scores above 75 are c onsidered high-GI foods, leading to faster sugar development. Bananas have a GI of 62, which is considered low.Weight loss can be a struggle for anyone, but it is especially h ard for diabetics (糖尿病患者). A study looked at how the starch(淀粉) from unripe bananas affected the weight of a group of obe se diabetics. After four weeks of a diet high in bananas, diabe tics lost significantly more weight than on a control diet. Theyalso saw improvements in insulin sensitivity from the banana diet.What’s more, bananas have been shown to cut risks of stroke s, diabetes and cancers (Bananas are the most powerful fruit for lowering the risk of kidney cancer.). Bananas are also a ric h source of fiber, which has been shown to help weight loss. Bananas that still have some green on the skin are even high er in fiber.Skins from green bananas can be taken and after removing the stem and dark tip, cut into small pieces 2-3 inches long and 1/2 inch wide. These pieces can be made i nto a tea or added to a dish. When you eat the skins, be sure you are eating organic bananas. The flesh of regular bananas is low in pesticides, but the skins are not.33. What conclusion can we draw from Paragraphs 1 & 2?A. Bananas are likely to make people fat.B. Insulin determines the amount of sugar.C. Low-GI foods can turn into sugar more slowly.D. The faster the food becomes sugar, the less insulin.34.What does the author say about bananas?A. Including bananas in diets is good for health.B. Bananas can cure people suffering kidney cancer.C. Eating organic bananas protect people from strokes.D. Bananas’ abundant fiber improves insulin sensitivity.35.What is discussed in the last paragraph?A. The use of banana skins.B. The benefits of banana skins.C. The importance of banana skins.D. The ways of choosi ng organic bananas.笫二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从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。

However, that's all part of the attraction of the Beer Mile, a unique race that has participants competing in running and drinking. The Beer Mile Race started off as a tradition in 1990, when a group of Canadians thought it would be fun to race each other while drinking a few beers. But it has come a long way since then. The Beer Mile Race is now a major sporting event with around 100,000 official competitors, brand name sponsors and so on. In 2015, the first Beer Mile World Classic was held in San Francisco, where all of the record holders from Canada and the United States came together for the competition. But this year, the event was organized in London, in an effort to take in more competitors about the sport outside North America.The rules of the race are pretty simple: runners have to consume four beers before each of the four 400-meter laps making up the famous Beer Mile.The beers can come in bottles or cans but should not be less than 355ml and must be at least 5% alcohol. The drink like apple juice will not do. Runners must drink the beers within a 10 meter zone before the start/finish line and then they are required to tip the bottle/can over their heads to confirm it is empty.In the case of vomiting（呕吐）during the race, and yes, there’s quite a bit of that during the Beer Mile, offenders must complete one more lap at the end of the race. Organizers mention that even in the case of vomiting several times, only one more lap must be completed.This year, the Elite Men's race was won by Canadian Corey Bellemore,who also set a new world record with a time of 4 minutes and 34 seconds.“I just drink thebeers as quickly as I could, hold them down and get the burps（饱嗝）out,”Corey said. “If you can drink a beer in 8 seconds and also run very fast with a feeling of vomiting, then you’ll be fine like me.”29. What can we know about the Beer Mile Race from Paragraph 1?A. It was highly admired by drinkers.B. It was developed very well.C. It was criticized by many people.D. It was only held in English speaking countries.30. The purpose the 2016 Beer Mile held in London was______.A. to collect more fund for the sportB. to raise wide awareness about the sportC. to encourage competitors to put more efforts into itD. to attract more people worldwide to participate in it31. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?A. The rules of drinking beers.B. The rules of the Beer Mile Race.C. The standard of drinking beers.D. The zones of drinking beers.32.What is implied in Corey's words in the last paragraph?A. Everybody can run in the race if they are interested.B. The speed of drinking beers makes him win.C. A lot of preparations are needed to win the race.D. It is not easy for him to win the race.DThose who claim bananas are fattening argue that bananas cause the body to make lots of insulin (胰岛素), and insulin causes fat growth.How much insulin we produce is related to how fast food becomes sugar in our bloodstream. How can you know if food makes a lot of sugar quickly? The glycemic index(血糖指数), or GI rating tells us. Foods with GI scores above 75 are considered high-GI foods, leading to faster sugar development. Bananas have a GI of 62, which is considered low.Weight loss can be a struggle for anyone, but it is especially hard for diabetics (糖尿病患者). A study looked at how the starch(淀粉) from unripe bananas affected the weight of a group of obese diabetics. After four weeks of a diet high in bananas, diabetics lost significantly more weight than on a control diet. They also saw improvements in insulin sensitivity from the banana diet.What’s more, bananas have been shown to cut risks of strokes, diabetes andcancers (Bananas are the most powerful fruit for lowering the risk of kidney cancer.). Bananas are also a rich source of fiber, which has been shown to help weight loss. Bananas that still have some green on the skin are even higher in fiber.Skins from green bananas can be taken and after removing the stem and dark tip, cut into small pieces 2-3 inches long and 1/2 inch wide. These pieces can be made into a tea or added to a dish. When you eat the skins, be sure you are eating organic bananas. The flesh of regular bananas is low in pesticides, but the skins are not.33. What conclusion can we draw from Paragraphs 1 & 2?A. Bananas are likely to make people fat.B. Insulin determines the amount of sugar.C. Low-GI foods can turn into sugar more slowly.D. The faster the food becomes sugar, the less insulin.34.What does the author say about bananas?A. Including bananas in diets is good for health.B. Bananas can cure people suffering kidney cancer.C. Eating organic bananas protect people from strokes.D. Bananas’ abundant fiber improves insulin sensitivity.35.What is discussed in the last paragraph?A. The use of banana skins.B. The benefits of banana skins.C. The importance of banana skins.D. The ways of choosing organic bananas. 笫二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从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。

The Swiss mastro (大师) won his record eighth Wimbledon title this month, defeating Croatian Marin Cilic in the final, and going to the entire tournament without dropping a single set.The 36-year-old now has 19 Grand Slam titles, the most in history for a male tennis player. Bollettieri coached some the most successful tennis player ever, including Andre Agassi and Jim Corurier, believes Federer stands out from the rest due to all the efforts he makes on and off the court.“When you get to know the greatest player of all time, I believe you will join withmany commentators in saying Roger is standing in a class of his own,”Bollettieri told Saturday Sport.“He is magnificent in expecting what to do. He has improved his backhand and also he is hitting the ball much earlier, and he is one of the best placement servers (发球员) in the game.”His management team headed by Tony Godsick takes care of his mind and body, time with his family, time with his foundation and time with rest. He also respects the game and his opponents. Despite his impressive record, Federer has struggled against the other top players of this generation, including Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic. Along with Andy Murray, they are known as tennis“big four”, and Federer has a combined 50-57 record against the other three during his career.However, Bollettieri doesn’t think that will have any impact on Federer’s greatness if he keeps on playing the way he is at his age. Bollettieri said,“Age is only a number. It is how you feel inside you. I believe a lot of people today can do a lot better if their mind set is to say I will get better every day and never use the word‘retirement’. When you worry about losing, it is more difficult to win.”24.What does Bollettieri mean by saying he is" in a class of his own"?A. R oger is a tennis player second to none.B. Roger is a particular favorite of his.C.Roger is proud and prefers being alone.D. Roger has difficulty getting along with others.25.What can we know about Roger from the passage?A.He is in full charge of his life and career.B. Hard work is a major factor in his success.C.Deep respect develops between him and Tony.D. His greatest achievement is made in his thirties.26. What does the underlined word "that" in the last paragraph refer to?A. Roger's increased age.B. Roger's positive attitude.C. Roger’s impressive recordD. Roger's losing to other famous players.27.What does Bollettieri want to stress in the last paragraph?A. Failure is nothing to fear.B. Being positive is very important.C. Everyone needs to be strong-willed.D. Attitude is everything.CWe humans spend about one-third of our lives asleep. This may sound like a lot of time, but it is not wasted. Sleep not only helps us stay healthy but it also helps our brains remember. Our brains need good sleep to remember what we do and learn during the other two thirds of our lives when we are awake.Researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison have found that sleep helps improve brain performance by shrinking(收缩) synapses in the brain. A synapse is the area where cells pass messages to other cells.Scientist Chiara Cirelli is a leader at the school’s Center for Sleep and Consciousness. She told the reporter that sleep is when the human brain mixes information it has learned while awake into its general collection of knowledge. Meanwhile, the brain forgets unimportant details. This forgetting is important. It makes space for new learning and new memories.Cirelli said that the Centers research began with this hypothesis(假设): We sleep so thatour brain can repair and refresh itself. She said the idea seems simple and reasonable. However, testing and discovering how it works has been extremely difficult.Synapses(神经元的突触) are only about 20-40 nanometre(纳米)wide. The team began their studyby measuring the size of the synapses to look for changes in these already tiny spaces between nerve cells. Cirelli says the process is difficult because“all the actual measurements of the synapses have to be done by hand.” The team had to wait until improvements in laboratory technology made it possible to see these tiny changes. A University of Wisconsin press release called the research a“huge job.”Many research specialists worked for four years to photograph, rebuild and study certain areas of a mouse brain. The report also said the scientists measured 6,920 synapses.Cirelli says they found that our synapses shrink as our brains clean themselves during sleep.We wake up refreshed and ready to fill those synapses with new information. The research findings are the result of years of hard work at the University of Wisconsin Madison. The researchers published their findings in the journal Science.28. How does the brain help improve our memory while we are sleep?A. By not forgetting any learnt knowledge.B. By keeping learning new information.C. By adding new knowledge to its old collection.D. By repeating information learnt before.29. What is the fifth paragraph mainly about?A. The size for the synapses.B. The difficulties in the measuring work.C. The preparations for the measuring work.D. The result of the measuring work.30. What can we infer about the research work?A. The synapses were found bigger after a good night’s sleep.B. The findings proved their hypothesis was right.C. The team began their research as soon as they decided to.D. The researchers carried out their work with a human brain.31. What is the result of the research?A. Sleep helps us keep healthy.B. Sleep takes one-third of our lifetime.C. Sleep helps the brain shrink.D. Sleep helps us learn better.DOn a college camping trip, curiosity about waves and sand caused Rob Thieler to study shorelines around the world. Thirty years later and now a U.S. Geological Survey research geologist, Thieler, is combining science and smart-phone technology to help study an endangered bird, the Atlantic Coast piping plover(笛鸻).The piping plover is a shorebird that breeds（繁殖）along the Atlantic Coast, the Great Lakesand the Great Plains. Rising sea levels associated with climate change, as well as increased development in their beach habitats, threaten the species. To help track changes in piping plover habitats, Thieler developed a free app called iPlover in 2012. This is a marked change from the typical way scientists collect data, which involves gathering information using specialized equipment or writing in notebooks and then putting into spreadsheets(电子表格).Since releasing iPlover, scientists have gathered data across 1500 km of breeding range. Thatequals about a third of the distance across the U.S., which is a large area to cover for only two thousand breeding pairs of piping plovers on the east coast. Instead of having to travel and spend days at each site, a number of cooperators in the field use the app to collect and send data, allowing scientists to gather data more efficiently. It also allows them to collectdata at the same time during each breeding season, providing a better picture of changes that happen over longer periods of time. And fast, centralized access means scientists can look at data quickly to get a real-time idea of where and how piping plovers are using their habitats. While iPlover is used by trained field staff, other apps like the U. S. GeologicalSurvey’s web-based“iCoast—Did the Coast Change?” invite citizen scientists to identify coastal changes by comparing bird’s-eye-view photographs taken before and after storms. All the information scientists and citizen scientists alike collect helps federal and state agencies create policy plans for addressing climate change impacts worldwide.32. What can we know about the piping plover?A. Its behaviour is changing.B. Its habitat is growing bigger.C. Its living environment is becoming worse.D. Its breeding is limited to the Atlantic Coast. 33. Why did Thieler develop iPlover? A. To study shorelines across America.B. To advance information technology.C. To find out global climate change.D. To monitor changes of piping plover habitats. 34. Which of the following benefits the shorebirds?A. The camping equipment. B. Research on smart phones.C. The changeable coast. D. Progress in technology.35.What would be the best title of the text? A. Protecting Endangered ShorebirdsB. Rob Thieler, a Creative ScientistC. IPlover, Tool for Training Field StaffD. Differences Between IPlover and ICoast根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空题5共第二节（2小题；每小分）分，满1分白处的最佳选项。
