Fire Capt. Kevin Lloyd arrived at the scene of a car accident in West Point, Utah, north of Salt Lake City. A pregnant woman and her screaming 2-year-old daughter were trapped in the car.
While his partner, Allen Hadley, was tending to the driver, Lloyd couldn't get the frightened girl to calm down. He saw she was holding several bottles of nail polish, and then he had a better idea. He asked her if she wanted to paint his nails. Soon she entirely lit up. At the same time, Hadley showed up to check on the scene.
Lloyd had calmed her down and was in the process of getting his fingers painted. Then Hadley just put his hand in there. The girl began to color his nails pink. By this time, she was not only calm, but she was also happy.
The girl's mother was not injured. She thanked them for helping her daughter feel better, and they all chuckled, looking at the firefighters' nails, and took some photos.
The firefighters brought the photos back to headquarters and showed them around. The department put them up on Facebook, and thousands of people responded, with many thanking the firefighters for going out of their way to calm down a frightened girl.
Fire Chief Mark Becraft said he had been surprised at all the attention. He said he was proud of his firefighters, and added that he had known members of the department who had done many things that weren't part of the job.
After the fact, Lloyd and Hadley had a small matter to tend to：the layers of polish on their nails. They bought
a bottle of nail polish remover, and used almost all of it.

As you move out of your teens and into your 20s and 30s, your musical tastes start to solidify and you likely quit keeping up with popular music. Now, research has found the average age at which your music library is unlikely to change: 33.
The study's author reached this conclusion by analyzing data on U. S. Spotify users and comparing it to artist popularity data from music intelligence company The Echo Nest.
To determine the age at which we stop seeking out new tunes, the author gathered self-reported age data from Spotify and looked at users' " Taste Profiles," which tracks how many times listeners have streamed individual artists. These artists were then matched to their popularity rank on The Echo Nest.
The average teen listens almost only to music among the Billboard, the 200 highest-ranking albums in the country, but this music represents a smaller part of their streaming as they age. In their teens, they listen to a lot of the same music, over and over again. Frank T. McAndrew, a professor of psychology at Knox College, explains that's the "mere exposure effect" at work, and it basically means, the more we're exposed to something, the more we like it.
There are many reasons why a person may stop streaming the current top musical hits, and the author looked into one by identifying Spotify listeners with large amounts of children's music and nursery rhymes in their libraries. In other words, when users may have become parents.
But the study concludes with some good news for parents: “If you're getting older and can't find yourself staying as relevant as you used to, have no fear — just wait for your kids to become teenagers, and you'll get exposed to all the popular music of the day once again!”
8. What happens after teens grow older?
A. They quit listening to music.
B. Their interest in music fades.
C. They change their music libraries.
D. Their musical tastes become stable.
9. What is the way of the research?
A. Interviews.
B. Analyzing data.
C. Observation.
D. Tracking popularity.
10. How do teens develop their musical tastes?
A. They listen to what they like repeatedly.
B. They act like their favorite popular stars.
C. They experience different styles of music.
D. They like high-ranking music worldwide.
11. What's the good news for parents in the last paragraph?
A. Parents will regain their faith in music.
B. Parents will influence their teens in music.
C. Parents will hear their favorite music again.
D Parents will enjoy the music for teens again.
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. A 11. D
【解析】
本文为一篇说明文。

研究表明：人的音乐品味会随着年龄的增长逐渐稳定。

They still bite but new research shows lab -grown mosquitoes are fighting dengue fever — a dangerous disease that they normally would spread. Dengue infections appear to be dropping fast in communities in Indonesia, Vietnam, Brazil and Australia that are filled with the specially grown mosquitoes.
Researchers first injected （注射）mosquito eggs with Wolbachia bacteria that's common in insects and .
,
harmless to people in a lab. Infected females then pass the bacteria on through their eggs. Releasing enough Wolbachia carriers, both the females that bite and the males that don't, allows mating（交配）to spread the bacteria through a local mosquito population.
Rather than using chemicals to wipe out pests, “this is really about transforming the mosquito," said Cameron Simmons of the nonprofit World Mosquito Program, which is conducting the research.
The first success came from Australia. Mosquitoes carrying Wolbachia were released in parts of North Queensland starting in 2011, and gradually spread through the local mosquito population. Dengue is spread when a mosquito bites someone who is infected, and then bites another person, but somehow Wolbachia blocks that — and local spread has nearly disappeared in those North Queensland Communities, Simmons said.
The studies are continuing in other countries. But the findings, presented at a meeting of the American Society for Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, suggest it's possible to turn at least some mosquitoes from a public health threat into annoying biters.
The work marks “exciting progress," said Michigan State University professor Zhiyong Xi, who wasn't involved with the project but has long studied how Wolbachia can turn mosquitoes against themselves.
More research is needed, specialists cautioned. "The results are pretty exciting — strong levels of reductions — but there clearly are going to be things to be learned from the areas where the reductions are not as great," said Penn State University professor Elizabeth McGraw.
12. What can we learn about the lab-grown mosquitoes?
A. They lose the ability to bite people.
B. They become harmful to human beings.
C. They carry dangerous Wolbachia bacteria.
D. They spread Wolbachia bacteria by mating.
13. What does the underlined word "that" refer to in Paragraph 4?
A. The bite from a mosquito.
B. The local community.
C. The spread of Dengue.
D. The infected person.
14. What do the last two paragraphs suggest?
A. This research proves a complete success.
B. Scientists agree on this research.
C. There is still room for improvement.
D. Mosquitoes turn themselves against harmful ones.
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. Bacteria- infected Mosquitoes Bite Deadly Dengue.
B. Transform Mosquitoes into Annoying Biters
C. Fight against Mosquitoes with Wolbachia
D. Harmless Mosquitoes Are on Their Way
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【分析】
本文为一篇说明文。

文章讲述了研究人员实验室培育的蚊子抗击登革热病毒的事例。

【12题详解】
细节理解题。

根据第二段“Releasing enough Wolbachia carriers, both the females that bite and the males that don't, allows mating（交配）to spread the bacteria through a local mosquito population.”释放出足够的携带Wolbachia 的蚊子，会通过交配传播Wolbachia。

即实验室培育的蚊子通过交配传播Wolbachia菌。

故选D项。

【13题详解】
词句猜测题。

根据第四段“Dengue is spread when a mosquito bites someone who is infected, and then bites another person, but somehow Wolbachia blocks that — and local spread has nearly disappeared in those North Queensland Communities, Simmons said.”可知，登革热病毒通过叮咬的方式传染，但携带Wolbachia的蚊子与此不同，所以that指登革热病毒的传播。

故选C项。

【14题详解】
细节理解题。

根据第七段“The results are pretty exciting — strong levels of reductions — but there clearly are going to be things to be learned from the areas where the reductions are not as great”可知我们仍然需要从削减领域不够的地方学习，还有改进的余地。

故选C项。

【15题详解】
主旨大意题。

由文章开头“They still bite, but new research shows lab-grown mosquitoes are fighting dengue fever”可知本文讲的就是实验室培育的蚊子抵御登革热病毒，A项“感染细菌的蚊子抗击致命的登革热。

”符合文章主旨。

故选A项。

【点睛】细节理解题主要考查考生对文章中某一些特定细节或文章的重要实事的理解能力。

它一般包括直接理解题和语义理解题两种。

直接理解题的答案与原文直接挂钩，从阅读材料中可以找到。

以本文第一题为例，锁定关键词lab-grown mosquitoes得到原文第二段“Releasing enough Wolbachia carriers, both the females that bite and the males that don't, allows mating（交配）to spread the bacteria through a local mosquito population.”可知，实验室培育的携带Wolbachia病毒的蚊子通过交配的方式传播病毒。

故选D项。

二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）
Being scared is not always a treat. When a balloon pops, we may jump. ___16___ How does the body triggered （激发）these reactions? When we encounter something we're not familiar with, our brain and body start making changes to help prepare us for the unknown. These changes are part of the body's " threat," "stress," or "fight — or — flight" response. This response is triggered by the five senses, which are always sending information to the brain.
___17___, the brain sounds a danger alarm. It releases chemicals into the bloodstream, and those chemicals act on different parts of the body. Once the body is alert（警觉的），the brain decides whether or not the danger is real.
___18___ It urges a person to hide, run away, or defend oneself. Faster heartbeat and breathing send more blood and oxygen to the muscles so they're ready when they're needed. Stress chemicals can make a person more alert. Our memories also help protect us. We keep a close eye on babies because they don't understand what might hurt them. As babies grow, they learn what's unsafe, and their brains store those memories ___19___
Experiences can lead to long-lasting fears that may stop a person from trying new things. We're born with the ability to feel fear, but a lot of what we're afraid of is learned. A long-lasting fear can mean you’re had a bad experience, and your brain doesn't want you to have it again. Many people have beaten their own fears. Here's one method. ___20___, they learn the facts about anything that seems scary. Knowledge can help a person feel less afraid.
A. Instead of listening to their imagination
B. When they signal something unexpected

G. Memories are an important factor in fear-lasting experiences
【答案】16. C17. B
