Language often seems so skillfully...Language often seems so skillfully (1) （draft) that one can hardly imagine it as anything (2) （此题2空）the perfected handiwork of a master craftsman. How else could this instrument make so much out of barely three dozen measly morsels of sound? In themselves, these configurations (构造) of mouth----p,f,b,v,t,d,k,g,sh, a,e and so on---- (3) (amount) to nothing more than a few haphazard(随意的) spits and splutters, random noises with no meaning, no ability to express, no power to explain. But run them through the cogs and wheels of the language machine, and (4) ( let) it arrange them in some very special orders, and there is nothing (5) these meaningless streams of air cannot do: from sighing the interminable boredom of existence to (6) ( unravel) the fundamental order of the universe. (7) ( extraordinary) thing about language, however, is that one doesn’t have to be a genius to set its wheels in motion. The language machine allows just about everybody----from pre-modern foragers(搜寻食物的人) in the subtropical savannah, to post-modern philosophers in the suburban sprawl---- (8) ( tie) these meaningless sounds together into an infinite variety of subtle senses, and all apparently without the slightest exertion. Yet it is precisely this deceptive ease which makes language a victim of its own success, since in everyday life its triumphs are usually taken for granted. The wheels of language run so smoothly that one rarely bothers (9) ( stop) and think about all the resourcefulness and expertise that must (10) ( go) into making it tick. Language conceals art.Changxing IslandWhat is the closest island to Shanghai? If you answer “ Chongming Island”, then you are wrong. It should be Changxing Island, (1) is located between Congming Island and Pudong New District. As to administration(行政管理), it (2) （belong）to Baoshan District. With a large area of forests and fresh air, this island enjoys reputations of “Clean Island” and “Longevity Island”. Its unique natural environment and rich natural resources make Changxing Island’s tourism industry fully (3) （develop）.There are many places of interest there, such as Shanghai Orange Grove, Mongolian Village Race Track, Hanging Beads Park (Chuizhu Y uan), Shanghai Stunt Center, Xianfeng Resort, and etc. Travelers can take bus No.5, 51, 116, 522, 728, 848 and 849 to Wusong dock (4) you can take a ship to Changxing Island. Travelers can also take Shenchong (Line 2) Shuttle Bus, (5) o perating hour is from 6:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. to Changxing Island. If travelers prefer toreach the island with their own cars, ferries which can carry cars should be a great choice. Changxing Island, also known as “the Hometown of Oranges” is a great place for vacation. Once you and your family members or friends reach the island, you can drive to the Orange Grove Resort to enjoy (6) The oranges grown in the grove looks bright and smooth, and they are very juicy and sweet. Once in late autumn season, golden oranges hanging on the branches look very tempting. The thousand acres of oranges there (7) give a total production of 1.75 million kilograms annually. Another place famous for oranges is Shanghai Orangerie Resort located in Qianwei Farm, in the central part of Changxing Island. (8) the 1980s, the Orange Art Festival has been held on this farm each autumn, attracting tens of thousands of admiring visitors.(9) being the famous “orange town”, Changxing Island is a great place for visitors to enjoy rafting or going to the riverside to enjoy the wonderful scene written in a poem by Wang Bo, (10) famous poet in Tang Dynasty.Hot Drinks Linked to CancerNext time you make yourself a hot cup of tea or coffee, you might want to let it cool down a bit before drinking. Researchers say letting your hot drinks cool off (1) help you avoid some kinds of cancer. In fact, the United Nations' cancer research agency decided (2) （list) hot drinks with lead, gasoline and exhaust fumes as "possibly carcinogenic." In other words, each one could cause cancer. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) is part of the World Health Organization (WHO). The IARC published the findings in the medical journal Lancet Oncology. Researchers at IARC found evidence that drinks at temperatures above 65 degrees Celsius, when (3) (swallow), can cause cancer of the esophagus.The researchers examined findings from other studies (4) t ea and coffee were often served at 70 degrees Celsius or above. Those studies were completed in Iran, China and South America. In developed countries, health experts (5) (link) esophageal cancer to smoking and alcoholic drinks in many studies. However, this form of cancer is (6) ( common) in areas where people drink beverages at very high temperatures.In Europe and the United States, many people drink coffee and tea at temperatures around 60 degrees Celsius. And they often add milk which lowers the temperature considerably. (7) tea-drinkers in Iran and maté-drinkers in South America often enjoy their beverages at closer to 70 degrees Celsius. Maté is a tea-like brew made by (8) (steep) the leaves of the yerba mate plant in near-boiling water.The researchers note that South Americans not only drink their maté very hot, they also drink it through a metal straw. This sends the scalding liquid directly (9) the throat. The findings, however, are good news for coffee drinkers.In 1991, the World Health Organization listed coffee as "possibly carcinogenic." WHO officials have since changed their position on that listing. They now suggest that the temperature of your hot drink is a greater risk factor than the actual drink itself.Christopher Wild is the director of the IARC. When he spoke with the AFP news agency, he said the results "suggest that drinking very hot beverages is one probable cause of esophageal cancer and that it is the temperature, (10) (此题2空) the drinks themselves, that appears to be responsible." The National Coffee Association called the change "great news for coffee drinkers." But how common is esophageal cancer? Worldwide, it is the eighth most common cancer. Cancer of the esophagus killed about 400,000 people in 2012.McDonald’s Szechuan Sauce Will Return This WinterLate Sunday, McDonald’s released a statement promising to bring back the limited-edition sauce again at a date to be determined.“Yesterday, we were truly surprised at the (1) （amaze）curiosity and passion that the community showed to welcome back Szechuan Sauce, (2) （此题两空）it was just for one day.” the company said in a statement. “And our super-limited batch(批次), though well-intentioned, clearly was far from enough (3) (meet) customers’ demands.” (4) （announce）that it was going to “make this right”, McDonald’s promised that this dipping sauce would return in a great quantity in the near future. “We’re bringing more, a lot more, (5) （此题两空）Szechuan Sauce(四川辣酱)will be available to any fan at a nearby McDonald’s,” the company said.McDonald’s Szechuan sauce, (6) was a limited edition condiment tied to the release of Disney’s famous cartoon Mulan in 1998, has seen its profile rise thanks to Rick & Morty, a cartoon sci-fi sitcoms(情景剧) made by The Adult Swim series (7) the main character complaint about the unavailability of Szechuan Sauce. That led (8) McDonald’s later promise to bring back this weekend. The only problem was (9) demand exceeded(超过)supply, which made many Rick & Morty fans angry.“I personally thought it was a sauce that was trying too hard in a world where with McNuggets sauce you just want something to taste like honey or like a BBQ sauce,” co-creator Dan Harmon told about the sauce. “It was (10) sauce that was trying to prove it was different and it tasted much better than an ordinary sauce should be.”Overweight Asian-Americans Seen More AmericanWhat does an American look like? Nearly 1,300 Americans, mostly college students, were asked that question for a recent study in Psychological Science. They were shown pictures of people and asked by University of Washington researchers who looked American to them. (1) Over-weight Asian-Americans were more likely to be seen as Americans than normal weight Asian-Americans, the researchers said. Researchers who worked on the study believe this all fits into common stereotypes. (2) And one common stereotype is that Asians are thin and most Americans are heavy, the researchers said. Sapna Cheryan is a co-author of the study. She also teaches psychology at the University of Washington. She said the findings show an unusual benefit for overweight Asian-Americans. She noted that overweight people often face discrimination. But Cheryan said that being overweight makes Asian-Americans seen more American. That makes them less likely to face discrimination directed at those believed to be foreign, she said. Cheryan said her interest in ethnic and racial stereotypes goes back to her youth in Urbana, Illinois. She is Indian-American and remembers people would praise her mother because she "spoke English so well." It was as if they did not expect a woman who appeared to come from a foreign country to speak English, she said. Cheryan also remembers worrying when friends would come over to her house. She was embarrassed that her family served Indian food. The food seemed "different" compared to American favorites such as pizza and Doritos.The research on how people see Asian-Americans is a follow-up of her 2011 research. It found Asian-Americans were three times as likely to order American food after being asked if they spoke English than if they had not been asked that question. " (3) " Cheryan said. This is not always a good thing for Asian-Americans. She notes that traditional American food often contains more calories and fat than many Asian dishes.The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that 34.5 percent of white Americans are considered obese, or very overweight. For Asian-Americans, the percentage is 11.7 percent. For African-Americans, the percentage of obesity is 48 percent and for Latino Americans, the percentage is 42.5 percent. The new University of Washington study showed people photos of people from different racial and ethnic groups to see if weight influenced their opinions. Among the questions asked: "How likely is this person to have been born outside the U.S? Another, "How likely is it that this person's native language is English?"Weight did make a difference in how people decided whether Asian-Americans were Americans. Those questioned by the University of Washington researchers also looked at pictures of Latinos, whites and African-Americans.(4) This supported their opinion that people believed to be from foreign countries where people are believed to be mostly thin are considered more likely to be American if they are overweight.The researchers noted that many Americans believe Latinos are overweight. As a result, overweight Latinos are not seen as more likely to be Americans -- as was the case with Asian-Americans.A. A stereotype is a belief, often untrue, that many have about a group of peopleB. The suggestion is that maybe people avoid foods that are stereotypical of their ethnic group so that they would fit in betterC. The researchers found that weight did not influence whether they saw whites, African-Americans and Latinos as being AmericansD. The most surprising answer was how people saw Asian-AmericansE. Most Asian-Americans answer the question without hesitationF. Some stereotypes derive from discrimination against certain groupRunning in Cold Weather Improves PerformanceCold weather during winter months may keep many people from leaving home and running in the open air. However, a new study shows that the drop in temperature is a good reason to run. In fact, researchers say, running in cold weather helps improve one's performance.Many people say running in the winter can be difficult. Two reasons are the low temperatures and bitter winds. Yet many runners might find it easier than running in hot weather. That could be (1) lower temperature reduce stress on the body. When you run in cold weather, your heart rate and the body's dehydration levels are lower than in warmer conditions. The body needs less water on a cold day than in warm weather.This information comes from sports scientists at St. Mary's University in London. John Brewer is a professor of (2) (apply) sport science at St. Mary's. For this study, he and other researchers put a group of people into a room they called an "environmental chamber." The researchers then recreated summer and winter weather conditions in the room. The test subjects (3) （ask) to run 10,000 meters under both conditions. Brewer says he and his team recorded biological measurements of the runners. "We've got a group of subjects into the environmental chamber, we've changed the conditions (4) （replicate) the summer or winter and we've got them to run a 10k under both of those conditions and taken various measurements on each runner whilst they've been completing their 10k."Brewer says every movement runners make produces heat. He explains that one way in which we lose heat is by sweating. "That heat builds up in the body and can be really damaging (5) you can lose that heat. One of the mechanisms by which we lose heat is through sweating, but we also lose heat by transporting the blood to the surface of the skin (6) it can lose heat out into the external environment. Now, that puts more strain on the heart, particularly in hot conditions because it's much harder to lose heat when the external environment is warm as well."And that increased strain, adds Brewer, can be considerable. Running in higher temperatures results in faster heart rates."We found, for example, that heart rates were about 6 percent higher in the hotter conditions.We found that the runners dehydrated by around 30, 38 percent more in (7) hotter conditions. And they found it about 30 percent easier -- the test of their thermal regulation, how they felt, (and) their perception of heat -- was around a third lower when they were running in cold conditions."The body does not have to work as hard to pump blood to the skin's surface. Brewer says that means running in cooler temperatures requires less energy. He adds that serious runners could cut valuable seconds (8) their personal best times by choosing to run in the winter."If you look at top-level sports, if you look at the likes of Mo Farah running 10Ks and winning world and Olympic championships; the difference between success and failure is seconds, and it's certainly not minutes. We can be very confident that in cooler conditions you can certainly slice a decent percentage of time off your personal best."Several websites note that (9) (important) thing for people who run in cold conditions is to wear the right clothing. Keeping as dry as possible is the key issue when exercising in low temperatures. Wear mittens on your hands (10)（此题2空)gloves. Wear shoes that will keep you from falling. And especially, wear more than one layer of clothing to keep sweat away from your skin. So, if you are a runner, don't let winter weather keep you indoors. Simply get ready for the low temperatures and start running.Fruits, Vegetables Can Lower Blood PressureWe may not need another study telling us that fruits and vegetables are good for our bodies. But research and studies can help us to understand how foods affect our bodies in good ways and bad.Researchers at the University of Southern California's Keck School have found (1) great reason to eat more fruits and vegetables. They say that potassium-rich foods like sweet potatoes, avocados, spinach and bananas could help to lower your blood pressure. High blood pressure, (2) hypertension, is an international problem. Experts at the World Health Organization say more than one billion people suffer from high blood pressure. The condition causes 51 percent of deaths (3) stroke and 45 percent of deaths due to heart disease. Health officials in the U.S. say heart disease and stroke together kill more Americans each year than any other cause. Years of research (4) (link) sodium, or salt,intaketo increased blood pressure. So, officials advise people to use salt in moderation. Experts at the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention say Americans get most of their sodium -- about 75 % -- from processed foods and eating at restaurants.This is a good reason to eat fresh food (5) (prepare) at home. Alicia McDonough is a professor of cell andneurobiologyat the Keck School of Medicine. She led this recent study. McDonough says that eating less sodium is a well-known way to lower blood pressure. But she also says evidence suggests that eating more potassium may have an equally important effect on hypertension.For her research, she examined studies that looked atthe link between potassium and sodium.McDonough found that people who ate more potassium generally had lower blood pressure unconnected to how much sodium they ate. Her research suggests that the body does creates a balance, using sodium to control potassium levels in the blood. "When dietary potassium is high," she says, "kidneysexcretemore salt and water, (6) increases potassium excretion." This process cleans the kidneys. She explains that as humans evolved, they ate a diet rich in potassium, but low in sodium. This has lead us tocravesodium, not potassium." (7) you eat a typical Western diet," she says, "your sodiumintakeis high and your potassium intake is low." She adds that this greatly "increases your chances of (8) (develop) high blood pressure."McDonough published her study in the April 2017 issue of theAmerican Journal ofPhysiology-EndocrinologyandMetabolism. Health experts at the CDC agree that "eating enough potassium each day can help balance out some of the harmful effects that high sodium intake can have on blood pressure." (9) they also say that eating less sodium is important as well. On its website, the CDC lists these fruits and vegetables -- and other foods -- as being good sources of potassium. But how much potassium should we eat each day? A 2004 study by the Institute of Medicine shows adults (10) eat about 4.7 grams of potassium a day to lower blood pressure. McDonough says eating about 60 grams of beans would provide 50 percent of that.What you can learn from Einstein’s quirky habitsLike it or not, our daily habits have a powerful impact on our brains. Many of the world’s most brilliant scientific minds were also fantastically weird. From Pythagoras’ outright ban on beans to Benjamin Franklin’s naked ‘air baths’, the path to greatness is paved with some truly peculiar habits. But what if these are more than superficial facts? Scientists are increasingly realizing that intelligence is less about sheer genetic luck than we tend to think. According to the (1) (late) review of the evidence, around 40% of what distinguishes the brainiacs from the blockheads in adulthood is environmental. Like it or not, our daily habits have a powerful impact on our brains, shaping their structure and changing the way we think.Of all history’s great minds, arguably the master of combining genius with unusual habits was Albert Einstein – so what better person to study for clues to mind – enhancing behaviors to try ourselves? He taught us how to squeeze energy out of atoms, so maybe, just maybe, he might be able to teach us a thing or two about how to squeeze the most out of our tiny mortal brains. Could there be any benefits in (2)（follow) Einstein’s sleep, diet, and even fashion choices?GOOD SLEEPIt’s common knowledge that sleep is good for your brain – and Einstein took this advice (3)（seriously) than most. He reportedly slept for at least 10 hours per day – nearly one and a half times as much as the average American today (6.8 hours). But can you really slumber your way to a sharper mind? The author John Steinbeck once said: “It is a common experience that a problem difficult at night is resolved in the morning (4) the committee of sleep has worked on it.” Many of the most radical breakthroughs in human history, including the periodic table, the structure of DNA and Einstein’s theory of special relativity, have supposedly occurred while their discoverer was unconscious. The latter came to Einstein while he was dreaming about cows being electrocuted. But is this really true?DAIL Y WALKBesides, Einstein’s daily walk was sacred to him. While he was working at Princeton University, New Jersey, he’d walk the mile and a half journey there and back. He followed in the footsteps of (5) diligent walkers, including Darwin who went for three 45minute walks every day. These constitutionals weren’t just for fitness – there’s mountains of evidence that walking (6) boost memory, creativity and problem-solving.EATING SPAGHETTISo what do geniuses eat? Alas, it’s not clear what fuelled Einstein’s extraordinary mind,(7) the internet somewhat dubiously claims it was spaghetti. He did once joke that his favorite things about Italy were “spaghetti and [mathematician] Levi-Civita”, so we’ll go with that.It’s well known that the brain is a food-guzzling greedy guts, consuming 20% of the body’s energy though it only accounts for 2% of its weight. Just like the rest of the body, the brain prefers to snack on simple sugars, such as glucose, which (8) (break) down from carbohydrates. Sugars can give the brain a valuable boost, but unfortunately this doesn’t mean binging on spaghetti is a good idea. SMOKING A PIPEToday, the many health risks of smoking are widely known, so this is not a habit that it would be wise to follow. But Einstein was a (9) (harden) pipe smoker, known as much around campus for the cloud of smoke which followed him as for his theories. He famously loved to smoke, believing it “contributes to a somewhat calm and objective judgment in all human affairs.” He’d even pick cigarette butts off the street and stuff the remaining tobacco into his pipe.NO SOCKSNo list of Einstein’s eccentricities would be complete (10) a mention of his passionate aversion to socks. “When I was young,” he wrote in a letter to his cousin – and later, wife – Elsa, “I found out that the big toe always ends up making a hole in a sock. So I stopped wearing socks.”Zimbabwe's “Friendship Bench” a Possible Model for Mental Health TreatmentHealth workers in Zimbabwe are helping people with mental health problems through a new program. Experts say the treatment could serve as a model for other countries in Africa. Doctors estimate that about one quarter of Zimbabweans suffer (1) depression or anxiety. But there are only 12 psychiatrists in the country of 14 million people. Psychiatrists are doctors who treat mental or emotional problems.The University of Zimbabwe, the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine and King's College London worked together (2) (create) a new kind of treatment. Dr. Victoria Simms works at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. "We can't possibly go the route of training psychiatrists and psychologists (3) it would take 15 years. How are we going to provide treatment?" So, doctors created a simple but effective program. They placed wooden seats – which they call "Friendship Benches" -- outside several health clinics in the city of Harare. Dr. Simms says people (4) the chance to meet on the benches for six sessions with health workers. They call these workers "grandmother health providers." "So the patient explains (5) all their problems are and its opening up the mind in the sense of (6) (allow) the patient to see that they can do something about their problems." The Friendship Bench study involved more than 550 patients. After six months, only 14 percent of the patients in the Friendship Bench group said they were still (7) (depress). That compares to 50 percent of those who did not receive treatment. Those who received the treatment were also five times (8) (likely) to have suicidal thoughts.Dr. Dixon Chibanda is with the University of Zimbabwe. He is one of the founders of the Friendship Bench program. He said that the program has many benefits. "Not only a mental health sort of package, but a package (9) actually improved outcomes of things like hypertension, diabetes and, and adherence to medication for people living with HIV."Friendship Benches are now placed in 60 clinics in Harare and two other cities. The Canadian government is helping to pay for the program's expansion through its Grand Challenges Canada aid program. Researchers say the program could be a model for mental health efforts in poor areas (10) in wealthier countries.Take steps now to set yourself up for financial success. If you make these smart money moves now, you’ll be (1) （likely) to have remorse about not taking control of your finances sooner. Create a budget you can stick to“ Having the discipline to budget every month will ensure your finances (2) （tune) finely and that you are in control of your money,” said Jamie Pomeroy, a Minnesota financial advisor and founder of . (3) trick, he said, is to find a method of budgeting that you like and stick with it.Pomeroy recommends that you give every dollar a home in the budget---- (4) it’s for necessary expenses, savings or incidentals. You could also consider using a 50-30-20 budget, which allots 50 percent of yourincome for needs, 30 percent for wants and 20 percent for savings and debt.Improve your creditBuilding good credit will likely pay off down the line. “ A good credit score is important for obtaining lower rates on large purchases, such as a car or a home,” said Shannon McLay, a financial planner and founder of The Financial Gym. “ Even though you might not be ready to make these purchases, you should work on your credit score now (5) when you are, you will obtain the attractive interest rates you want.”Build an emergency fundYou need a reserve of cash that’s easily accessible (6) (cover) unexpected expenses and help you get through financial emergencies without having to rack up debt, ask friends and family for money or tap your retirement account .Get a handle on your debtFocus on paying off your highest-rate debts first----likely credit card debt----so you’ll pay less in interest over time. Before you start paying down debt, understand (7) you have accumulated it, Kay said. Was it (8) you had a major medical expense or borrowed heavily to cover the cost of college?” If this is your normal way of living, it’s time to take stock and think about why,” Kay said.Plan for the “ (9) - ifs” You can alleviate some of your financial worries by identifying your worst-case money scenarios, and (10) (prepare) for them, Kay said. Creating an emergency fund to cover expenses if you’re out of work is a good place to start.What is Sustainable Agriculture?The goal of sustainable(可持续发展的)agriculture is to meet society’s food needs without compromising(危及)the ability of future generations (1) (meet) their own needs. People (2) (devote) to sustainable agriculture try to accomplish three main goals in their work: a healthy environment, economic profitability, and social and economic equality. Every person involved in the food system — growers, food processors, sellers, consumers, and waste managers — (3) play a role in ensuring a sustainable agricultural system. There are many practices commonly used by people working in sustainable food systems. Growers use methods to promote soil health, reduce water use, and lower pollution levels on the farm. Sellers and consumers look for environmentally friendly foods (4) are good for farm workers’ health and strengthen the local economy. Researchers in sustainable agriculture combine biology, economics, engineering, chemistry, community development, and many other subjects. However, sustainable agriculture is not only (5) collection of subjects, but also a process of negotiation(协商): a push and pull between the interests of an individual farmer and (6) of people in a community as they work to solve complex problems about how we grow our food.

Recently, homeless people across Chicago faced freezing to death if they couldn’t find shelter for the night. Thankfully, one local woman refused to let that happen.In late January of 2021, Chicago experienced some of the coldest temperatures that the city has seen in decades. Sadly, more than 100 homeless people were left outside directly exposed to the deadly environment.Candice Payne was lucky enough to have a shelter from the dangerous conditions. However, she couldn’t stop think ing about the homeless people in the area who had nowhere to go. Payne started brainstorming different ways she could possibly help. At last, she decided to see if there were any rooms available at local hotels that she could purchase for the people on the street.However, many of the local hotels refused to allow her to pay for the rooms. “No one wanted them, but one hotel, the Amber Inn, that was nice enough to allow me to buy the rooms,” Payne told TODAY.According to Payne, each room cost $70 per night.

This summer, as the capital of England became warmer than before, there has been many stories from Londoners experiencing odd insect bites. Even the London Underground has its own species of mosquito with a particular appetite for human blood.The main insects out for your blood in London are mosquitoes and horseflies (马蝇). And, as that Space song said, the females of these species are more deadly than the males, being the ones that seek out animal blood as extra nutrition for their eggs. Horseflies have a particularly cruel bite using their jaws to bite into our skin like a carving knife until they break a blood vessel (血管). Mosquitoes are more secret attacker, biting us very precisely with their needle-sharp mouth.In the UK, these insects are usually harmless. The key thing to know about these insects is that they’re far more active in warm weather. “Insects have a special and specific relationship with heat,” says Vicki Sims from Lady Bug Pest Control. “The rise in temperature sees insects grow faster. Year on year, many species are altering their behaviour and biology to follow the trends of the seasons.” So, what does this mean for the state of our skin? Long and warm London summers mean we may see more of the insects we expect, but some new ones we don’t. “The only thing separating us from species like mosquitoes that carry public health risks in other parts of the world, is climate, geography and more than a little luck,” says Sims.Concerns about increase of alien species in the UK are growing. Usually arriving with international shipments, traditionally “insect species brought over would die out relatively quickly because of our cold weather,” says Natalie Bungay from the British Pest Control Association. “But as the weather warms up there’s more chance that they’ll survive and become a problem, so effective measures should be taken as soon as possible.”1. What is the major function of paragraph 1?A．To introduce the main topic. B．To clarify the author’s stand.C．To arouse the readers’ concern.D．To summarize the whole text.2. Why do female insects favour animal blood?A．They become hungry more easily. B．They have stronger mouths.C．They are more sensitive to blood. D．They need more nutrition for eggs.3. What do we know from the third paragraph?A．The insects grow fast in warm weather.B．New species will increase in cold weather.C．Most species can’t adapt to the chang ing climate.D．We can only depend on luck to avoid potentially harmful insects.4. What is Natalie Bungay’s attitude towards the rise of temperature?A．Optimistic. B．Worried.C．Unconcerned. D．Confused.4. Chewing uses a surprising amount of energy. An experiment that looked at the energy use associated with chewing gum found that it can increase bodily energy use by up to 15 percent.Adam van Casteren at the University of Manchester in the UK and his colleagues measured energy use in 21 people between 18 and 45 years old as they chewed gum for 15 minutes. Each participant was asked to chew two types of gum—one soft and the other tough—so they could compare the effects of the gum’s properties on the participants’ energy use. Energy use was measured using a specially made cap covering the participants’ heads. “You can use the cap to work out how much energy is being used,” says Casteren. Before the experiment, the participants had all worn the cap while they sat watching a film in order for the researchers to know their base level energy use.The researchers found that chewing the soft gum increased energy expenditure by about 10 percent, while chewing the tougher gum increased this use by around 15 percent. Casteren says it’s interesting that a small change in the properties of the gum had such a clear effect on energy use. The findings suggest that the energy use required to chew also explain why we developed such strong teeth for the action. Any amount of energy lost while chewing food, makes the meal a less efficient source of energy, so we must finish the action as soon as possible.Dylan Thompson at the University of Bath in the UK says the increase is still only a small amount overall. “It will contr ibute less than 1 percent of total daily energy use because of relatively short daily chewing time,” he says.1. What is paragraph 2 mainly about?A．Comparison between soft and tough gum.B．The result of an experiment about energy use.C．Adam van Casteren’s opinion about chewing gum.D．An experiment about energy use when chewing gum.2. What does the underlined word “expenditure” in paragraph 3 probably mean?A．Digestion. B．Transportation. C．Consumption. D．Production.3. Why do human beings develop strong teeth according to the text?A．To eat more food at a meal. B．To reduce energy loss.C．To make the meal less efficient. D．To break down food thoroughly.4. What does Dylan Thompson probably agree with?A．Chewing time of humans is increasing.B．Chewing is not an important part of our life.C．Chewing doesn’t use much energy in our daily life.D．There is no relationship between energy use and chewing.5. What keeps us healthy and happy as we go through life? The clearest message that we got from a 75-year study is this: Good relationships keep us happier and healthier. 1The first is that social connections are really good for us, and that loneliness kills. It turns out that people who are more socially connected to others are happier. 2 On the contrary, the experience of loneliness turns out to be harmful. There are some people who are more lonely than they want to be. They find that they are less happy, their health declines earlier in midlife, and they live shorter lives than people who are not lonely.And we know that you can be lonely in a crowd and you can be lonely in a marriage. So the second big lesson that we learned is that it’s not just the number of friends you have, and it’s not whether or not you’re in a committed relationship, but it’s the quality of your close relationships that matters. 3 High-conflict marriages, for example, without much love, turn out to be very bad for our health.And the third big lesson that we learned about relationships is that good r elationships don’t just protect our bodies, they protect our brains. It turns out that being in a securely attached relationship is protective. Many people are in relationships where they can get help from the other persons in times of need. 4So, good and close relationships are good for our health and well-being. 5 This is wisdom that’s as old as the hills. Now, ask yourself a question: If you were going to invest now in your future best self, where would you put your time and your energy?6. Once, there was a small, unkept and rather poor village.

It is essential for you to know why you are speaking and 25 you wish to accomplish by your speech. The four most common purposes of speech are to inform, to convince, to move to action, and to entertain. Do you, like a teacher or an expert in a field, wish to illustrate your ideas in detail to people unfamiliar with your subject 26 they can understand your ideas clearly and thoroughly? Or, like a debater, wish to convince the judges or the audience? Or, like a fund collector for a naturalist foundation, wish to get money? Or, like a comedian or after-dinner speaker, wish to entertain? The language and tone you use 27 be proper for your purpose, for your audience, and for the occasion. A speech to the graduating class will have quite different language, tone and manner from information 28 (deliver) to a group of your friends.Furthermore, 29 talented the speaker is, a talk without enough preparation is usually 30 failure. To speak without preparing is to shoot without taking aim. Decide what your aim or objective is; then state it in a complete topic sentence. Make sure that your subject 31 (be) definite and not too broad. zhucanqi(B)DC Hilton was one of the first Americans to find out that there was money to be made in the middle of the night. 47 years ago he bought a small restaurant on US highway 69, in Oklahoma. His main customers were truck drivers and traveling salesmen who drank coffee and ate cheeseburgerswhen they stopped 32 (break) their journey.It was they 33 first tried to persuade Hilton to remain open all night. 34 (think) about it for a while, he suddenly made up his mind. He took the door key and threw it across the road. He hasn‟t closed the door ever since.Over the years his simple burger café has been expanded 35 a 24-hour roadside empire, with a 100-seat restaurant, a petrol station, a mini shopping market, a car park for mobile homes and all-night self-help laundry.Hilton was a pioneer in a 24-hour working trend, 36 has now caught on around the world. Today not only restaurants but also banks, supermarkets, mail-order firms, travel agencies and many other businesses are beginning to be open all night. But is this really a good thing?So far, a lot of research 37 (do) in America on the effect of 24-hour working, and there is growing concern about the long-term dangers of a society that doesn‟t sleep. Americans are said to be sleeping 20% less than 38 did 100 years ago, and 55% claim to suffer at least occasionally from over-tiredness. Several of the 39 (bad) man-made disasters happened in the last few hours before dawn, when even the most experienced night-worker has difficulty 40 (stay) awake.Section BDirections:Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only beThere is a tendency to think of each of the arts as a separate area of activity. Many artists, however, would prove that there has always been a warm relationship between the 41 areas of human activity. For example, in the late nineteenth century the connections between music and painting were 42 close. zhucanqi Artists were invited to design clothes and settings for operas and ballets, but sometimes it was the musicians who were inspired by the work of 43 painters. Of the musical compositions that were considered as responses to the visual arts, perhaps the most famous is Mussorgsky‟s Pictures at an Exhibition.Mussorgsky 44 the piece in 1874 after the death, at the age of 39, of the artist Victor Hartmann. Though their friendship had not been a particularly long-lasting one, Mussorgsky was shocked by Hartmann‟s45 death. The following year the critic, Vladimir Stasov, who decided to hold an exhibit ion of Hartmann‟s work, suggested that Mussorgsky try to46 his grief by writing something in 47 of Hartmann.The exhibition served as Mussorgsky‟s inspiration. The ten pieces that make up Pictures at an Exhibition are 48 as symbols rather than representations of the paintings in the exhibition. Between each is a promenade （舞曲中的行进）, as the composer walks from one painting to another. The music is sometimes witty and playful, sometimes almost alarming and frightening. Through a range of surprising 49 , Mussorgsky manages to 50 the spirit of the artist and his work.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections:For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.The term home schooling means educating children at home or in places other than a normal setting such as a public or private school. These days, homeschooling in America is 51 .Teaching methods at homeschooling 52 . Some parents follow a strict timetable and 53 a traditional school environment. Other parents follow an extreme form of homeschooling in which they do not give grades or tests and allow their children to study wherever they want. More parents, however, follow the middle 54 to provide a balance between freedom and discipline.Why do parents choose homeschooling? Some believe that children in public schools experience too much “peer pressure”, or social pressure from friends. They say it may have a 55 effect on the child‟s studies. Other parents are dissatisfied with the quality of education in the public school. About half the parents who teach at home are 56 motivated and use lessons by mail or Internet from church schools. Whatever the 57 may be, it is evident that more and more children are being taken out of normal schools every year. 58 , many questions have emerged, encouraging the debate over home schooling against public schooling.What then is the future of education? Although children often learn well at home, weak regulations in most states mean that officials rarely challenge or 59 parents who say they are home-schooling. As the 60 continues, so do the questions about what home schoolers are studying at home. How can parents ensure that their children are prepared academically for college? How are home schoolers 61 to make sure they are getting the same educational standards that school students must have? Recent studies in the United States have shown that homeschooled children tend to be slightly better in subjects like English and art, but they are obviously less 62 math and science. Finally, there are questions regarding the children‟s emotional development. Are they too 63 their fellow students? Are they 64 the opportunity to get the social benefits of being in a large classroom of students? As with any debatable issue, the answers to these questions are never 65 .51.

A. creating B. grasping C. awaiting D. losing65. A. acceptable B. informative C. one-sided D. practicalSection BDirections:Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)“It seems likely that a caged elephant would miss the wilderness it was born into.” a six-year study revealed.British and Canadian scientists studied 4,500 elephants in European zoos and compared them with elephants living in the wild. They found that wild elephants are healthier, live longer and reproduce more than those elephants in zoos.Wh en it comes to living in a zoo, “many species do well but elephants don‟t,” said Georgia Mason, one of the researchers of the study. Many animals live longer in zoos than they do in the wild. This isn‟t surprising when you consider that zoo animals are not threatened by predators (掠食者), always have plenty to eat, P.F. Productions and have professionals on hand to care for them.When it comes to elephants, however, the situation is different. The world‟s largest land animals live much longer in the wild than they do in zoos.Female African elephants born in zoos live on average for 17 years, while those in the wild make it to 56. “So far,” says Mason, “We‟ve got 300 African elephants in zoos in Europe, and not one‟s yet reached 50.”Asian elephants are the more endangered of the two elephant species. They live for about 19 years in captivity (圈养) compared to 42 years in the wild. A few wild Asian elephants have even made it into their 70s. In Kenya, 30 to 50 percent of wild elephants reach 50 years of age.Fatness and stress are likely causes for the giant land animals‟ early death in capti vity, Mason said.The researchers say that zoos do not offer enough space for animals that can travel as far as 48 kilometers a day. Too little exercise and too much food means captive elephants put on extra weight. The weight gain can lead to heart disease and other health problems.Being “caged” is bad for health, not only for elephants, but also for humans. Be careful not to become a “caged elephant”!66. Many animals live longer in zoos owing to the following reasons EXCEPT that ________.A. they are far away from the danger of being eaten.B. they can be in a better mood there.C. they needn‟t worry about their food at all.D. they are taken good care of.67. Which of the following may probably result in the early death of elephants in zoos?A. Stress and lack of delicious food.B. Loneliness and little space for activities.C. Lack of delicious food and enough exercise.D. Being stressed and over weight.68. What can be concluded from the passage?A. Zoos are not suitable for animals to live in.B. None of the animals live well in zoos due to lack of exercise.C. Compared with the elephants in zoos, wild elephants are healthier.D. Asian elephants can live longer than African elephants in zoos.69. What is the passage mainly about?A. The living conditions of animals in the world are worsening.B. Elephants can live a longer time in the wild than in zoos.C. All of us should take actions to protect wild elephants.D. The places where wild elephants live are being damaged seriously.(B)Friends Membership Card THE HAMILTON PLAYHOUSE00136789Valid until 23 May 2013Name: Miss E. M.

Psychologists view the subject either as a matter of failure or a joke. Now the biologists have moved into this field, and some of them have found that there are real differences between the brains of men and women. But being different, they point out hurriedly, is not the same as being better or worse.There is, however, a definite structural variation between the male and female brain. The difference is in a part of the brain that is used in the most complex intellectual processes—the link between the two halves of the brain.The two halves are linked by a trunkline (主干线) of between 200 and 300 million nerves, the corpus callosum. Scientists have found quite recently that the corpus callosum in women is always larger and probably richer in nerve fibres (纤维) than it is in men. This is the first time that a structural difference has been found between the brains of women and men and it must have some significance. The question is “What?”, and if this difference exists, are there others? Research shows that present-day women think differently and behave differently from men. Are some of these differences biological and inborn, a result of evolution? We tend to think that is the influence of society that produces these differences. But could we be wrong?Research showed that these two halves of the brain had different functions, and that the corpus callosum enabled them to work together. The better the connections, the more harmoniously the two halves work. Usually, women have the better connections.But it isn‟t all that easy to explain the actual differences between the ski lls of men and women on this basis. In schools throughout the world girls tend to be better than boys at “language subjects” and boys better at math. If these differences correspond (相符合) with the differences in the trunkline, there is an unchangeable distinction between the sexes.We shan‟t know for a while, partly because we don‟t know of the exact relationship between abilities in school subjects and the functioning of the two halves of the brain. And we cannot understand how the two halves interact through the corpus callosum. But one thing is certain:nothing in our world is still—even scientific thought.74. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Biologists are doing research where psychologists have given up.B. Brain differences point to advantage of one sex over the other.C. The structural difference in the brain between the sexes has long been known.D. The brain difference is the only difference between the sexes.75. According to the passage, it is commonly believed that brain differences are caused by ________factors.A. biologicalB. psychologicalC. physicalD. social76. The expression of “these differences” refers to those in ________.A. skills of men and womenB. school subjectsC. the brain structure of men and womenD. learning habits77. What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To discuss the various factors that cause brain differences.B. To explain the link between sex and brain structure.C. To suggest new areas in brain research.D. To indicate the many differences between the sexes.Section CDirections:Read the following passage and then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.You are what you eat and fats are a main food for Asia‟s fast-food generation. Dr. Chwang, director of the Department of Food Nutrition, says children are consuming more meat and soft drinks. That is a thorough departure from the traditional diet of vegetables and rice an d little meat. “They like big pieces of fried meat with a soft drink. So although they may eat the same volume of food, their calorie intake (卡路里摄入量) has increased. Now about 40 to 45 percent of their calories come from fat,” says Chwang.Although on the w hole Asians tend towards thinness, Asians‟ hospitality（好客）is the first and foremost reason for the fatness of today‟s generation, according to Chwang. “Asian people love food,” she says. “Eating and drinking are important social and family functions.” In t he past, however, big meals were only hosted on special occasions as people were more careful with money. In today‟s climate of wealth and remarkable consumption, 10-course meals are no longer reserved for significant occasions.Needless to say, that child ren are being spoilt by their parents is another cause of children‟s overweight. More than anyone else, children are on the receiving end of their parents‟ improved circumstances. “In the past, people had four or more children —now, they have one or two, so they tend to spoil them,” says Chwang. “The easiest way is to give them …quality food‟. Parents think feeding them well is showing their love.

专题14 阅读理解(主旨大意题) 拔高练习(解析版)- 2021年高中英语寒假辅导讲义
专题14阅读理解（主旨大意题）一Bacteria are an annoying problem for astronauts. The microorganisms(微生物) from our bodies grow uncontrollably on surfaces of the International Space Station, so astronauts spend hours cleaning them up each week. How is NASA overcoming this very tiny big pro blem? It’s turning to a bunch of high school kids. But not just any kids. It depending on NASA HUNCH high school class, like the one science teachers Gene Gordon and Donna Himmelberg lead at Fairport High School in Fairport, New York.HUNCH is designed to connect high school classrooms with NASA engineers. For the past two years, Gordon’s students have been studying ways to kill bacteria in zero gravity, and they think they’re close to a solution(解决方案). “We don’t give the students any breaks. They have to do it just like NASA engineers,” says Florence Gold, a project manager.“There are no tests,” Gordon says. “There is no graded homework. There almost are no grades, other than ‘Are you working towards your goal?’ Basically, it’s ‘I’ve got to produce this product and then, at the end of year, present it to NASA.’ Engineers come and really do an in-person review, and…it’s not a very nice thing at time. It’s a hard business review of your product.”Gordon says the HUNCH program has an impact(影响) on college admissions and practical life skills.“These kids are so absorbed in their studies that I just sit back. I don’t teach.”And that annoying bacteria? Gordon says his students are emailing daily with NASA engineers about the problem, readying a workable solution to test in space.【文章大意】本文介绍了美国国家航空航天局的HUNCH计划。
