would
need
13.
boarding
14.
what
【解析】

【11题详解】
考查不定式。句意:我很兴奋,因为这是我第一次出国旅行。it
is/was
one’s
first
time
to
do
sth.为固定短语,意为“这是某人第一次做某事”,因此空格处用不定式作time的后置定语,故填to
travel。
【12题详解】
考查过去将来时。句意:我把所有我认为需要的东西都装进了背包。根据语境可知,我是把我将会用到的东西装进背包,因此空格处用将来时,通篇时态为一般过去时,因此空格处用过去将来时,即would
do,故填would
need。
【13题详解】
考查动名词。句意:上了去机场的巴士后,我和父母说了再见。After为介词,其后跟动名词作宾语,故填boarding。
【14题详解】
考查宾语从句引导词。句意:我望着车窗外,梦想着我们在旅途中会做些什么。分析句子结构可知,about后为宾语从句,从句中缺少do的宾语,
因此空格处用引导词what,
故填what。

【解析】
【分析】本文是说明文。短文讲述克隆是通过自然或人为的方式,对植物或动物进行精确复制、培育的过程。并通过列举植物的培养和同卵双胞胎进行了解释。
【15题详解】
考查连词。句意:克隆是通过自然或者人为的方式,对植物或动物进行精确复制、培育的过程。根据句意,前后文是选择关系,either…or…“或者……或者……”。故填or。
【16题详解】
考查动词时态语态。句意:例如,园丁们从植物上截取一段,放在合适的培养基中(例如土壤),就是一种克隆。分析句子可知,use是谓语动词,根据句意可知,此处讲述的是从过去开始,一直延续到现在一直在做的事情,故用现在完成进行时,其主语是复数,故填have
been
using。
【17题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:自然克隆的另一个例子是同卵双胞胎,它们是由同一个卵子受精产生的。分析句子可知,空格处引导定语从句,修饰twins,从句中作主语,引导非限制性定语从句,用关系代词who。

20.
was

【解析】
【分析】这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲了6月17日,中国成功发射神舟十二号载人飞船的新闻。
【18题详解】
考查介词。句意:6月17日,中国成功发射神舟十二号载人飞船,预计将派遣三名宇航员前往天河空间站核心舱执行为期三个月的任务。June
17是6月17日,是具体的某一天,具体的某一天前面需加介词on,故填on。
【19题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:6月17日,中国成功发射神舟十二号载人飞船,预计将派遣三名宇航员前往天河空间站核心舱执行为期三个月的任务。astronaut意为“宇航员”,
是可数名词,three后跟名词复数,故填astronauts。
【20题详解】
考查一般过去时的被动语态和主谓一致。句意:据中国载人航天管理局(CMSA)消息,这个载人飞船搭载在长征二号f运载火箭的顶上,于上午9点22分,从酒泉卫星发射中心发射升空。载人飞船是被发射,且句子描述过去的事情,因此空格处用一般过去时的被动语态,即was/were
done,launch的过去分词为launched,
主语The
spacecraft是单数,
因此空格处为was
launched,故填was
launched。

A
Don’t
you
think
robots
are
a
part
of
your
life?
In
factories,
robots
put
together
everything
from
toys
to
cars.
Some
homes
have

that
sweep
floors
or
mow
the
lawn(剪草坪).
And
more
robots
are
soon
to
come.
Like
a
HumanRobots
don’t
expect
any
thanks
for
all
the
work
they
do
for
us.
After
all,
they
don’t
have
feelings.
But
that
may
be
changing
with
Nexi,
a
robot
created
by
scientists
at
the
Massachusetts
Institute
of
Technology.
Nexi
can
move
its
face
to
show
anger,
happiness,
or

can
also
raise
its
eyebrows
to
show
surprise.

paddle
and
can
move
in
all
directions.

The
Party
of
Their
Lives
In
Los
Angeles’s
infamous
Skid
Row,
there
are
hundreds
of
children
living
on
the
streets
or
in
shelters.
It’s
a
place
where
dreams
go
to
die.
But
one
couple
is
determined
to
use
their
own
experience
with
loss
to
foster
a
sense
of
hope.
In
2013,
Mary
Davis
and
her
husband
lost
their
first
unborn
kid.
Refusing
to
let
the
heartbreak
break
them,
they
became
volunteers
in
a
Skid
Row
homeless
shelter.
They
found
that
many
of
the
kids
there
had
never
had
a
single
birthday
party
before,
so
they
decided
to
throw
a
birthday
party
for
those
homeless
kids.
They
took
over
a
room
in
the
Union
Rescue
Mission
and
filled
it
with
streamers,
gifts
and
a
cake.
The
kids
were
so
excited
that
they
made
their
own
music—singing
and
clapping
and,
of
course,
laughing.
Since
then,
the
couple
have
thrown
a
party
each
and
every
month.
They
routinely
attract
250
kids
and
their
parents.
An
hour
before
each
party,
volunteers
arrive
to
set
up
the
decorations
and
activities:
face
painting,
balloon
artists,
a
DJ,
cake,
and
pizza.
There
are
small
presents
for
the
kids
celebrating
their
birthdays,
but
the
Davis
make
sure
there
are
more
than
enough
to
go
around.
“I
remember
a
mom
came
with
her
kid,”
Mary
says.
“It
was
their
first
night
at
the
shelter,
and
her
child
had
a
birthday.
We
had
an
extra
gift
for
her—pink
headphones.
The
little
girl
was
so
excited.
And
her
mom...
she’s
crying.
‘I
never
imagined
we
would
ever
need
to
be
in
a
shelter.
I
didn’t
know
what
to
expect.
But
I
really
didn’t
expect
a
birthday
party
for
my
child.’
she
cried
with
happiness.”
Doing
her
best
to
normalize
these
kids’
lives
is
both
heartwarming
and
bittersweet
Mary
says.
“If
you
look
outside,
you
see
homeless
person
after
homeless
person
on
the
street,
and
it
reminds
you
that
these
kids
don’t
get
to
leave
this
area
after
the
party.”
It
may
be
why,
after
throwing
88
parties,
she
still
cries
after
each
one.
She
credits
the
kids
in
the
shelter
with
helping
her
hold
on
to
hope.
“We
didn’t
realize
how
much
joy
they
were
going
to
bring
us,”
she
told
CBS
News.
“And
it
was
so
healing
for
both
kids
and
us.”

Mission
and
filled
it
with
streamers,
gifts
and
a
cake”(他们发现那里的许多孩子以前从来没有过一个生日派对,所以他们决定为这些无家可归的孩子举办一个生日派对。他们占用了联邦救援任务的一个房间,在里面放满了彩带、礼物和蛋糕)可推知Mary很关心那些无家可归的孩子,为孩子们买那些礼物,说明她很慷慨,因此可用Caring
and
generous描述Mary,故选B。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段的“She
credits
the
kids
in
the
shelter
with
helping
her
hold
on
to
hope”(她认为是收容所的孩子们帮助她保持了希望)及本文全篇内容可推知,本文是想告诉我们哪里有爱,哪里就有希望,即Where
there
is
love,
there
is
hope,故选D。
C
Are
Happy
Meals
Really
Happy?
Don’t
we
all
know
a
“Happy
Meal”
when
we
see
one--the
famous
boxed
meal
that
includes
a
hamburger,
kid-sized
French
fries,
fruits
and
milk,
served
with
a
toy
that’s
extremely
popular
with
children
who
love
to
collect
them?
A
Happy
Meal
is
a
form
of
kids’
meal
sold
at
a
certain
fast-food
chain
since
1979.
A
toy
is
included
in
the
meal,
both
of
which
are
usually
contained
in
a
box
or
paper
bag.
However,
collectors
of
these
little
toys
will
not
get
them
any
longer,
since
the
company
will
replace
toys
with
books
and
each
of
these
books
will
mainly
pass
on
nutritional
messages.
Happy
Meals
are
extremely
popular
with
kids,
especially
for
their
collectable
toys,
when
you
consider
that
over
1.3
billion
of
these
packages
are
sold
each
year.
These
packages
have
been
very
controversial.
Health
supporters
believe
that
drawing
kids
to
these
meals
with
toys
is
a
clever
way
of
promoting
unhealthy
food
choices.
They
see
it
as
an
advertising
a
strategy
of
“catching
its
customers
young”--a
move
that
has
paid
off
very
well
for
the
fast-food
company.
Child
development
experts
say
that
food
habits
get
formed
in
children
by
age
six
and
continue
through
to
their
adult
life.
Fatty
and
sugary
foods
such
as
those
served
in
Happy
Meals
are
believed
to
play
a
big
role
in
growing
health
problems
such
as
obesity
and
diabetes.
Public
health
care
costs
have
gone
up
and
untold
amounts
of
money
have
been
spent
on
coping
with
these
health
problems.
On
November
2,
2010,
the
San
Francisco
Board
of
Supervisors
passed
a
law
requiring
that
children’s
meals
sold
in
restaurants
must
meet
certain
nutritional
standards
before
they
could
be
sold
with
toys,
to
overcome
the
problem
of
childhood
obesity--in
other
words,
the
State
of
California
tried
to
ban
the
toys
in
Happy
Meals.
However,
it
was
strongly
opposed
by
some
as
being
heavy-handed,
and
the
ban
was
thrown
out
by
the
government.
While
some
people
believe
that
the
fast-food
company,
with
its
large
following
of
children,
can
create
a
powerful
message
through
the
books,
others
believe
its
actions
are
contradictory.
Anyway,
the
company
is
trying
to
spread
the
message
of
nutrition
while
it
is
serving
food
that
is
anything
but
healthy.
27.
The
aim
of
the
question
raised
in
Paragraph

Cycling
You
need
only
look
at
a
professional
cyclist
to
appreciate
the
potential
effects
of
cycling
on
the
body.
But
what
about
the
mind?
It’s
a
question
that
has
long
challenged
anyone
who
has
wondered
how
riding
a
bike
can
offer
what
feels
close
to
a
state
of
emptying
your
mind.
Dr.
John
Ratey
thinks
cycling
increases
“the
chemistry
in
your
brain
that
makes
you
feel
calm,”
but
also
that
carrying
out
multiple
operations
while
cycling
can
be
an
effective
treatment,
as
shown
in
a
German
study
involving
115
children,
half
of
whom
did
activities
such
as
cycling
that
involved
complex
movements,
while
the
rest
performed
more
straightforward
exercises
with
the
same
aerobic
(有氧的)
demands.
Both
groups
did
better
than
they
previously
had
in
concentration
tests,
but
the
“complex”
group
did
a
lot
better.
There
have
been
other
interesting
findings
too.
In
2003,
Dr.
Jay
Alberts
rode
a
tandem
bicycle,
a
bicycle
built
for
two
riders
sitting
one
behind
the
other,
across
the
American
state
of
Ohio
with
a
friend
who
has
Parkinson’s
(帕金森)
disease,
a
condition
affecting
the
nervous
system.
The
idea
was
to
raise
awareness
of
the
disease,
but
to
the
surprise
of
both
riders,
the
patient
showed
significant
improvements.
Dr.
Jay
Alberts
then
scanned
the
brains
of
26
Parkinson’s
patients
during
and
after
an
eight-week
exercise
programme
using
bikes.
Half
the
patients
were
allowed
to
ride
at
their
own
paces,
while
the
others
were
pushed
harder.
All
patients
improved,
and
the
group
which
was
pushed
harder
showed
particularly
significant
increases
in
connectivity
between
areas
of
intelligence
responsible
for
functions
such
as
walking
and
picking
things
up.
We
don’t
know
how
this
happens,
but
there
is
more
evidence
of
the
link
between
Parkinson’s
and
cycling.
A
video
on
the
Internet
shows
a
58-year-old
man
with
severe
Parkinson’s.
At
first,
we
watch
the
patient
trying
to
walk.
He
can
barely
stand
and
his
hands
shake
uncontrollably.
Then
we
see
the
man
on
a
bicycle
being
supported
by
others.
With
a
push,
he’s
off,
cycling
past
cars
with
perfect
balance.
Doctors
don’t
fully
understand
this
discrepancy
either,
but
say
that
cycling
may
act
as
some
sort
of
action
that
helped
the
patient’s
brain.
The
science
of
cycling
is
incomplete,
but
perhaps
the
most
remarkable
thing
for
the
everyday
rider
is
that
it
can
require
no
conscious
focus
at
all.
The
mindlessness
of
cycling
can
not
only
make
us
happier,
but
also
leave
room
for
other
thoughts.
On
the
seat
of
my
bike,
I’ve
solved
problems
at
work
and
made
life
decisions,
as,
I’m
sure,
have
countless
others.
31.
What
does
the
study
described
in
Paragraph
2
suggest?
A.
Cycling
has
a
good
effect
on
physical
fitness.
B.
The
tasks
involved
in
cycling
can
be
hard
for
children.
C.
Lack
of
exercise
like
cycling
causes
lack
of
concentration.
D.
Cycling
can
improve
the
ability
to
focus
attention
on
a
task.
32.
Studies
of
people
with
Parkinson’s
show
that
______.
A.
cycling
does
more
good
if
sufferers
put
more
effort
into
it
B.
cycling
on
tandem
bikes
has
a
better
effect
on
the
disease
C.
not
every
person
with
Parkinson’s
will
benefit
from
cycling
D.
social
awareness
is
more
important
for
Parkinson’s
sufferers
33.
What
does
the
underlined
part
“this
discrepancy”
in
Paragraph
4
refer
to?
A.
Why
Parkinson’s
affects
some
people
and
not
others.
B.
Why
someone
with
Parkinson’s
can
cycle
but
not
walk.
C.
How
cycling
could
be
included
in
treatment
for
Parkinson’s.
D.
How
a
link
between
cycling
and
Parkinson’s
was
discovered.
34.
What’s
the
main
idea
of
the
passage?
A.
The
effect
of
cycling
is
not
yet
fully
understood.
B.
Cycling
is
believed
to
be
both
complex
and
mindless.
C.
Cycling
has
a
significant
influence
on
people’s
mind.
D.
People
may
be
more
intelligent
with
the
help
of
cycling,
【答案】31.

C
【解析】
【分析】本文属于科普文章。骑自行车不仅可以强身健体,而且对于人的脑子也有益处。比如骑自行车可使人对任务的注意力有所提高,患帕金森症的病人骑自行车后,投入的时间越多恢复的越好。对此虽然不够科学,但确实存在。骑自行车对人的身心有很大的影响。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“as
shown
in
a
German
study
involving
115
children,
half
of
whom
did
activities
such
as
cycling
that

groups
did
better
than
they
previously
had
in
concentration
tests,
but
the
“complex”
group
did
a
lot
better.”中可知,在德国的一项涉及115名儿童,其中一半人是骑自行车,活动中涉及到复杂的动作,而其余的直接进行相同的有氧的运动。两组在注意力集中在任务上的测试时都比做运动以前好,但是骑自行车等复杂性动词的人表现的更好。分析选项可知D项(骑自行车可以提高注意力集中在任务上的能力)还有同义词组concentrate(文中的名词concentration)=
focus
on。故选D。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Dr.
Jay
Alberts
then
scanned
the
brains
of
26
Parkinson’s
patients
during

Half
the

functions
such
as
walking
and
picking
things
up.”可知,Jay
Alberts博士接着扫描26帕金森病人的脑中,使用自行车八周锻炼后。一半的病人被允许按自己的速度骑,其他的则被推得更用力。所有的病人都得到了改善,骑车人投入更多的精力,许多功能区连通性显著增加,恢复的更好。由此可知骑自行车对于这种病的恢复有显著的影响,投入的精力越多,治疗的效果越好。分析选项可知A项符合题意,故选A。
【33题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第四段内容可知本段主要叙述了患帕金森症的人的恢复与骑自行车有一定的关系。患有帕金森症的开始连站都不能,也不能走路,但骑上自行车后却能掌握平衡。可知本段所说的“this
discrepancy”(这种差异)就是指患有帕金森症的人能骑自行车却不能步行。分析选项可知B项与题意相符,故选B项。
【34题详解】
主旨大意题。文章的第一段中提出了骑自行车有益于身体健康,接着提出了问题是否对人的脑子有影响。而且骑自行车对人的脑子有影响这个问题一直困扰着人们。在第二段John
Ratey博士用实验证明了骑自行车对人对任务的注意力有提高,第三段Jay
Alberts博士又发现了患帕金森症的病人骑自行车投入的时间越多,恢复的越好。最后一段作者用自己的事例再一次证明骑自行车对人的头脑有很大的影响,由此可知C符合题意。

根据短文内容,从短文后的七个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。
Can
Animals
Predict
Earthquakes?
The
belief
that
animals
can
predict
earthquakes
has
been
around
for
centuries.
In
373
B.C.,
historians
recorded
that
some
animals
deserted
the
Greek
City
of
Helice
in
groups
just
days
before
a
quake
hit
the
place.
____35____
Fish
moving
violently
and
chickens
that
stop
laying
eggs
were
reported.
Countless
pet
owners
claimed
to
have
witnessed
their
dogs
and
cats
acting
strangely
before
the
ground
shook.
____36____
It
was
documented
in
news
reports
that
three
days
before
the
2008
Sichuan
earthquake,
thousands
of
toads
(蟾蜍)
appeared
on
the
streets
in
Mianzhu,
a
city
hit
very
hard
where
2,000
people
were
killed.
Also
snakes
reportedly
left
their
homes
and
headed
for
safety
several
days
before
the
destructive
earthquake.
____37____
Some
theories
are
that
they
feel
movements,
or
weak
“shocks”,
in
the
earth
before
humans
do;
or
that
they
become
aware
of
gases
going
out
of
the
earth.
Another
belief
is
that
animals
are
very
much
in
tune
with
Earth’s
magnetic
(磁性的)
field,
so
they
detect
electrical
signals
caused
by
electromagnetic
field
changes,
causing
them
to
pay
attention
to
the
warning
that
an
earthquake
is
about
to
happen.
The
United
States
Geological
Survey
states
that
there
has
been
no
concrete
evidence
for
the
fact
that
animal
behavior
has
a
relationship
with
the
occurrence
of
an
earthquake.
____38____
American
experts
on
earthquakes
are
also
skeptical.
They
think
that
animals
may
have
strange
behavior
at
any
time
due
to
other
reasons—because
they
are
hungry,
defending
their
“countries”,
or
are
about
to
face
a
dangerous
situation.
____39____
They
continue
to
follow
the
“anecdotal
evidence”.
The
hope
is
that
one
day
what
they
have
learned
will
prove
to
be
extremely
useful
in
predicting
earthquakes
more
accurately,
thus
saving
millions
of
lives.
A.
Exactly
what
animals
have
sensed
can’t
be
fully
understood.
B.
The
connection
between
them
has
never
been
scientifically
made.
C.
Other
researchers
around
the
world,
however,
have
not
given
up
on
the
idea.
D.
It
is
necessary
to
know
if
the
animal
behavior
is
an
advanced
warning
signal.
E.
Records
of
similar
animal
foretelling
of
earthquakes
have
surfaced
ever
since.
F.
Wild
creatures
also
show
various
kinds
of
abnormal
reactions
before
earthquakes.
G.
Perhaps
this
sense
that
some
animals
appear
to
have
can
protect
us
from
natural
disasters.

Discovered
by
Amateurs
Some
astronomers
spend
their
entire
careers
looking
for
new
discoveries
in
space,
but
a
10-year-old
Canadian
girl
found
one
on
her
first
try.
In
January,
2011,
Kathryn
Gray,
who
often
studied
stars,
was
looking
at
recent
pictures
of
outer
space
and
comparing
them
to
pictures
taken
years
earlier.
The
pictures
were
just
thousands
of
tiny
spots
of
light,
but
Gray
spotted
a
star
that
looked
different
in
the
recent
pictures.
Could
it
possibly
be
a
supernova
(超新星)?
Usually
a
supernova
is
brighter,
and
it
becomes
visible
through
a
telescope
due
to
the
brightness.
Later
Gray’s
discovery
was
confirmed,
and
she
became
the
youngest
person
to
discover
a
supernova.
Throughout
history,
important
discoveries
in
astronomy
have
been
made
by
amateurs.
An
early
example
is
William
Herschel,
who
discovered
Uranus
in
1781.
Uranus
had
been
observed
before,
but
expert
astronomers
thought
it
didn’t
belong
to
our
solar
system.
When
Herschel
saw
it
with
a
telescope
he
had
designed
and
built
himself,
he
realized
that
it
was
orbiting
the
sun.
This
meant
that
Uranus
was
a
planet.
And
so,
the
map
of
our
night
sky
was
changed
forever.
Then
in
1930,
a
major
discovery
was
made
by
a
24-year-old
man,
a
farmer’s
son,
with
no
college
education
or
formal
training
in
astronomy.
Clyde
Tombaugh
had
built
a
homemade
telescope
using
instructions
from
an
article
in
a
boy’s
magazine.
He
used
to
draw
detailed
pictures
of
the
surfaces
of
Mars
and
Jupiter.
He
sent
the
pictures
to
Dr.
V.
M.
Slipher
at
the
Lowell
Observatory,
who
was
so
impressed
and
offered
him
a
job
on
his
team.
Within
a
year,
Tombaugh
discovered
a
ninth
planet,
Pluto.
It
was
regarded
as
a
planet
for
76
years,
but
scientists
decided
in
2006
that
Pluto
didn’t
meet
all
of
the
criteria
for
a
true
planet.
It
was
then
considered
to
be
a
dwarf
planet.
John
Dobson
is
another
influential
amateur
astronomer
because
he
enabled
so
many
others
to
take
up
astronomy
as
a
hobby.
In
1956,
after
constant
attempts,
he
built
a
powerful
telescope
out
of
low-cost
materials,
such
as
paper
tubes
used
in
construction.
With
affordable
tools
like
Dobson’s
telescope,
more
amateurs
today
have
the
technology
that
is
needed
to
make
discoveries
of
their
own.
40.
How
did
Kathryn
Gray
discover
the
supernova?
41.
Why
did
Clyde
Tombaugh
get
a
job
at
the
Lowell
Observatory?
42.
Please
decide
which
part
is
false
in
the
following
statement,
then
underline
it
and
explain
why.
The
four
amateur
astronomers
were
all
interested
in
astronomy
and
did
some
research
so
they
finally
made
discoveries
of
their
own.
43.
Which
of
the
amateur
astronomers
mentioned
in
the
passage
has
impressed
you
most?
Why?
(about
40
words)
【答案】40.
Kathryn
Gray
discovered
the
supernova
when
she
was
comparing
recent
pictures
of
outer
space
to
those
taken
years
earlier.
41.
Clyde
Tombaugh
impressed
Dr.
V.
M.
Slipher
with
his
pictures
of
the
surfaces
of
Mars
and
Jupiter,
so
he
was
offered
a
job
at
the
Lowell
Observatory.
42.
The
four
amateur
astronomers
were
all
interested
in
astronomy
and
did
some
research,
so
they
finally
made
discoveries
of
their
own.
According
to
the
passage,
not
every
amateur
astronomer
made
a
discovery
although
they
were
all
astronomy
hobbyists.
43.
(1)
Kathryn
Gray,
the
youngest
person
to
discover
a
supernova,
has
impressed
me
most.
Although
she
was
young,
she
had
her
own
hobby
and
devoted
her
time
to
it.
It’s
the
key
to
her
success.
That’s
why
she
has
impressed
me
most.
(2)
John
Dobson
has
impressed
me
most.
He
didn’t
make
a
discovery,
but
he
provided
the
technology
of
making
affordable
tools,
enabling
more
people
to
take
up
astronomy
as
a

He
is
more
influential
in
a

So
he
has

most.
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了几个业余天文爱好者的发现或发明。
【40题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第一段第二句“In
January,
2011,
Kathryn
Gray,
who
often
studied
stars,
was
looking
at
recent
pictures
of
outer
space
and
comparing
them
to
pictures
taken
years
earlier.
”(2011年1月,经常研究恒星的凯瑟琳·格雷正在观察外太空最近的照片,并将它们与多年前拍摄的照片进行比较。)凯瑟琳·格雷是在比较外太空最近的照片和多年前拍摄的照片时发现的超新星。故答案为“Kathryn
Gray
discovered
the
supernova
when
she
was
comparing
recent
pictures
of
outer
space
to
those
taken
years
earlier.”。
【41题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第三段第三句和第四句“He
used
to
draw
detailed
pictures
of
the
surfaces
of
Mars
and
Jupiter.
He
sent
the
pictures
to
Dr.
V.
M.
Slipher
at
the
Lowell
Observatory,
who
was
so
impressed
and
offered
him
a
job
on
his
team.
”(他曾经画过火星和木星表面的细节图。他把照片发给了洛厄尔天文台的V.M.斯莱弗博士,后者对他印象深刻,并邀请他在自己的团队中工作。)可知,克莱德·汤博画的火星和木星表面的图片给V.
M.斯莱弗博士留下了深刻的印象,因此他得到了洛厄尔天文台的一份工作。故答案为“Clyde
Tombaugh
impressed
Dr.
V.
M.
Slipher
with
his
pictures
of
the
surfaces
of
Mars
and
Jupiter,
so
he
was
offered
a
job
at
the
Lowell
Observatory.”。
【42题详解】
考查推理判断。根据最后一段前两句“John
Dobson
is
another
influential
amateur
astronomer
because
he
enabled
so
many
others
to
take
up
astronomy
as
a
hobby.
In
1956,
after
constant
attempts,
he
built
a
powerful
telescope
out
of
low-cost
materials,
such
as
paper
tubes
used
in
construction.”(约翰·多布森是另一位有影响力的业余天文学家,因为他使许多人能够把天文学作为一种爱好。1956年,在不断的尝试之后,他用低成本的材料,比如建筑用的纸管,建造了一个功能强大的望远镜。)可知,约翰·多布森并没有自己的发现,所以“so
they
finally
made
discoveries
of
their
own”是错的,原因是根据文章,并不是每个业余天文学家都有发现,尽管他们都是天文学爱好者。故答案为在“so
they
finally
made
discoveries
of
their
own”处画下划线,原因是“According
to
the
passage,
not
every
amateur
astronomer
made
a
discovery
although
they
were
all
astronomy
hobbyists.”。
【43题详解】
考查细节理解。如果认为Kathryn
Gray最令你印象深刻,则理由在第一段。如果认为John
Dobson最令你印象深刻,则理由在最后一段。其他人也是一样的答题方式。所以参考答案为“(1)
Kathryn
Gray,
the
youngest
person
to
discover
a
supernova,
has
impressed
me
most.
Although
she
was
young,
she
had
her
own
hobby
and
devoted
her
time
to
it.
It’s
the
key
to
her
success.
That’s
why
she
has
impressed
me
most.”或“(2)
John
Dobson
has
impressed
me
most.
He
didn’t
make
a
discovery,
but
he
provided
the
technology
of
making
affordable
tools,
enabling
more
people
to
take
up
astronomy

He
is
more

Don’t
you

In
factories,
robots
put
together
everything
from
toys
to
cars.
Some
homes

robots
that
sweep
floors
or

the
lawn(剪草坪).
And
more
robots
are

HumanRobots
don’t
expect
any
thanks
for
all
the
work
they

After
all,
they

But
that
may
be

by
scientists
at
the
Massachusetts

Nexi
can
move
its

sadness.
It
can
also
raise
its

to
show
surprise.

Researchers
built
the
robo-fish
to
swim
in
water
to
detect
pollution.
There’s
even

Nao
can
be
programmed
to
do
both
those
activities,
and
more.
A
two-
foot-tall
robot,
Nao
was
designed
by

The
Party
of
Their
Lives
In
Los
Angeles’s
infamous
Skid
Row,
there
are
hundreds
of
children
living
on
the
streets
or
in
shelters.
It’s
a
place
where
dreams
go
to
die.
But
one
couple
is
determined
to
use
their
own
experience
with
loss
to
foster
a
sense
of
hope.
In
2013,
Mary
Davis
and
her
husband
lost
their
first
unborn
kid.
Refusing
to
let
the
heartbreak
break
them,
they
became
volunteers
in
a
Skid
Row
homeless
shelter.
They
found
that
many
of
the
kids
there
had
never
had
a
single
birthday
party
before,
so
they
decided
to
throw
a
birthday
party
for
those
homeless
kids.
They
took
over
a
room
in
the
Union
Rescue
Mission
and
filled
it
with
streamers,
gifts
and
a
cake.
The
kids
were
so
excited
that
they
made
their
own
music—singing
and
clapping
and,
of
course,
laughing.
Since
then,
the
couple
have
thrown
a
party
each
and
every
month.
They
routinely
attract
250
kids
and
their
parents.
An
hour
before
each
party,
volunteers
arrive
to
set
up
the
decorations
and
activities:
face
painting,
balloon
artists,
a
DJ,
cake,
and
pizza.
There
are
small
presents
for
the
kids
celebrating
their
birthdays,
but
the
Davis
make
sure
there
are
more
than
enough
to
go
around.
“I
remember
a
mom
came
with
her
kid,”
Mary
says.
“It
was
their
first
night
at
the
shelter,
and
her
child
had
a
birthday.
We
had
an
extra
gift
for
her—pink
headphones.
The
little
girl
was
so
excited.
And
her
mom...
she’s
crying.
‘I
never
imagined
we
would
ever
need
to
be
in
a
shelter.
I
didn’t
know
what
to
expect.
But
I
really
didn’t
expect
a
birthday
party
for
my
child.’
she
cried
with
happiness.”
Doing
her
best
to
normalize
these
kids’
lives
is
both
heartwarming
and
bittersweet,
Mary
says.
“If
you
look
outside,
you
see
homeless
person
after
homeless
person
on
the
street,
and
it
reminds
you
that
these
kids
don’t
get
to
leave
this
area
after
the
party.”
It
may
be
why,
after
throwing
88
parties,
she
still
cries
after
each
one.
She
credits
the
kids
in
the
shelter
with
helping
her
hold
on
to
hope.
“We
didn’t
realize
how
much
joy
they
were
going
to
bring
us,”
she
told
CBS
News.
“And
it
was
so
healing
for
both
kids
and
us.”
24.
In
Skid
Row,
hundreds
of
kids
________.
A.
were
homeless
B.
lost
their
parents
C.
dropped
out
of
school

can
best
describe
Mary?
A.
Honest
and
generous.
B.
Caring
and
generous.
C.
Outgoing
and
caring.
D.
Outgoing
and
honest.
26.
What
does
the
story
intend
to
tell
us?
A.
Well

best.
C.
What
goes
around
comes
around.

is
love,
there
is
hope.
C
Are
Happy
Meals
Really
Happy?
Don’t
we
all
know
a
“Happy
Meal”
when
we
see
one--the
famous
boxed
meal
that
includes
a
hamburger,
kid-sized
French
fries,
fruits
and
milk,
served
with
a
toy
that’s
extremely
popular
with
children
who
love
to
collect
them?
A
Happy
Meal
is
a
form
of
kids’
meal
sold
at
a
certain
fast-food
chain
since
1979.
A
toy
is
included
in
the
meal,
both
of
which
are
usually
contained
in
a
box
or
paper
bag.
However,
collectors
of
these
little
toys
will
not
get
them
any
longer,
since
the
company
will
replace
toys
with
books
and
each
of
these
books
will
mainly
pass
on
nutritional
messages.
Happy
Meals
are
extremely
popular
with
kids,
especially
for
their
collectable
toys,
when
you
consider
that
over
1.3
billion
of
these
packages
are
sold
each
year.
These
packages
have
been
very
controversial.
Health
supporters
believe
that
drawing
kids
to
these
meals
with
toys
is
a
clever
way
of
promoting
unhealthy
food
choices.
They
see
it
as
an
advertising
a
strategy
of
“catching
its
customers
young”--a
move
that
has
paid
off
very
well
for
the
fast-food
company.
Child
development
experts
say
that
food
habits
get
formed
in
children
by
age
six
and
continue
through
to
their
adult
life.
Fatty
and
sugary
foods
such
as
those
served
in
Happy
Meals
are
believed
to
play
a
big
role
in
growing
health
problems
such
as
obesity
and
diabetes.
Public
health
care
costs
have
gone
up
and
untold
amounts
of
money
have
been
spent
on
coping
with
these
health
problems.
On
November
2,
2010,
the
San
Francisco
Board
of
Supervisors
passed
a
law
requiring
that
children’s
meals
sold
in
restaurants
must
meet
certain
nutritional
standards
before
they
could
be
sold
with
toys,
to
overcome
the
problem
of
childhood
obesity--in
other
words,
the
State
of
California
tried
to
ban
the
toys
in
Happy
Meals.
However,
it
was
strongly
opposed
by
some
as
being
heavy-handed,
and
the
ban
was
thrown
out
by
the
government.
While
some
people
believe
that
the
fast-food
company,
with
its
large
following
of
children,
can
create
a
powerful
message
through
the
books,
others
believe
its
actions
are
contradictory.
Anyway,
the
company
is
trying
to
spread
the
message
of
nutrition
while
it
is
serving
food
that
is
anything
but
healthy.
27.
The
aim
of
the
question
raised
in
Paragraph
1
is______.
A.
give
a
surprise
to
the
toy
lovers
B.
get
readers’
attention

C.
call
on
readers
to
buy
boxed
meals
D.
make
readers
think
about

be
added
into
Happy
Meals
to
______.
A.
introduce
the
use
of
the
toys
B.
increase
the
cost
of
the
meals
C.
help
kids
learn

nutrition
D.
spread
the
message
of
fast
food

D
Cycling
You
need
only
look
at
a
professional
cyclist
to
appreciate
the
potential
effects
of
cycling
on
the
body.
But
what
about
the
mind?
It’s
a
question
that
has
long
challenged
anyone
who
has
wondered
how
riding
a
bike
can
offer
what
feels
close
to
a
state
of
emptying
your
mind.
Dr.
John
Ratey
thinks
cycling
increases
“the
chemistry
in
your
brain
that
makes
you
feel
calm,”
but
also
that
carrying
out
multiple
operations
while
cycling
can
be
an
effective
treatment,
as
shown
in
a
German
study
involving
115
children,
half
of
whom
did
activities
such
as
cycling
that
involved
complex
movements,
while
the
rest
performed
more
straightforward
exercises
with
the
same
aerobic
(有氧)
demands.
Both
groups
did
better
than
they
previously
had
in
concentration
tests,
but
the
“complex”
group
did
a
lot
better.
There
have
been
other
interesting
findings
too.
In
2003,
Dr.
Jay
Alberts
rode
a
tandem
bicycle,
a
bicycle
built
for
two
riders
sitting
one
behind
the
other,
across
the
American
state
of
Ohio
with
a
friend
who
has
Parkinson’s
(帕金森)
disease,
a
condition
affecting
the
nervous
system.
The
idea
was
to
raise
awareness
of
the
disease,
but
to
the
surprise
of
both
riders,
the
patient
showed
significant
improvements.
Dr.
Jay
Alberts
then
scanned
the
brains
of
26
Parkinson’s
patients
during
and
after
an
eight-week
exercise
programme
using
bikes.
Half
the
patients
were
allowed
to
ride
at
their
own
paces,
while
the
others
were
pushed
harder.
All
patients
improved,
and
the
group
which
was
pushed
harder
showed
particularly
significant
increases
in
connectivity
between
areas
of
intelligence
responsible
for
functions
such
as
walking
and
picking
things
up.
We
don’t
know
how
this
happens,
but
there
is
more
evidence
of
the
link
between
Parkinson’s
and
cycling.
A
video
on
the
Internet
shows
a
58-year-old
man
with
severe
Parkinson’s.
At
first,
we
watch
the
patient
trying
to
walk.
He
can
barely
stand
and
his
hands
shake
uncontrollably.
Then
we
see
the
man
on
a
bicycle
being
supported
by
others.
With
a
push,
he’s
off,
cycling
past
cars
with
perfect
balance.
Doctors
don’t
fully
understand
this
discrepancy
either,
but
say
that
cycling
may
act
as
some
sort
of
action
that
helped
the
patient’s
brain.
The
science
of
cycling
is
incomplete
but
perhaps
the
most
remarkable
thing
for
the
everyday
rider
is
that
it
can
require
no
conscious
focus
at
all.
The
mindlessness
of
cycling
can
not
only
make
us
happier,
but
also
leave
room
for
other
thoughts.
On
the
seat
of
my
bike,
I’ve
solved
problems
at
work
and
made
life
decisions,
as,
I’m
sure,
have
countless
others.
31.
What
does
the
study
described
in
Paragraph
2
suggest?
A.
Cycling
has
a
good
effect
on
physical
fitness.
B.
The
tasks
involved
in
cycling
can
be
hard
for
children.
C.
Lack
of
exercise
like
cycling
causes
lack
of
concentration.
D.
Cycling
can
improve
the
ability
to
focus
attention
on
a
task.
32.
Studies
of
people
with
Parkinson’s
show
that
______.
A.
cycling
does
more
good
if
sufferers
put
more
effort
into
it
B.
cycling
on
tandem
bikes
has
a
better
effect
on
the
disease
C.
not
every
person
with
Parkinson’s
will
benefit
from
cycling
D.
social
awareness
is
more
important
for
Parkinson’s
sufferers
33.
What
does
the
underlined
part
“this
discrepancy”
in
Paragraph
4
refer
to?
A
Why
Parkinson’s
affects
some
people
and
not
others.
B.
Why
someone
with
Parkinson’s
can
cycle
but
not
walk.
C.
How
cycling
could
be
included
in
treatment
for
Parkinson’s.
D.
How
a
link
between
cycling
and
Parkinson’s
was
discovered.
34.
What’s
the
main
idea
of
the
passage?
A.
The
effect
of
cycling
is
not
yet
fully
understood.
B.
Cycling
is
believed
to
be
both
complex
and

Can
Animals
Predict
Earthquakes?
The
belief
that
animals
can
predict
earthquakes
has
been
around
for
centuries.
In
373
B.C.,
historians
recorded
that
some
animals
deserted
the
Greek
City
of
Helice
in
groups
just
days
before
a
quake
hit
the
place.
____35____
Fish
moving
violently
and
chickens
that
stop
laying
eggs
were
reported.
Countless
pet
owners
claimed
to
have
witnessed
their
dogs
and
cats
acting
strangely
before
the
ground
shook.
____36____
It
was
documented
in
news
reports
that
three
days
before
the
2008
Sichuan
earthquake,
thousands
of
toads
(蟾蜍)
appeared
on
the
streets
in
Mianzhu,
a
city
hit
very
hard
where
2,000
people
were
killed.
Also
snakes
reportedly
left
their
homes
and
headed
for
safety
several
days
before
the
destructive
earthquake.
____37____
Some
theories
are
that
they
feel
movements,
or
weak
“shocks”,
in
the
earth
before
humans
do;
or
that
they
become
aware
of
gases
going
out
of
the
earth.
Another
belief
is
that
animals
are
very
much
in
tune
with
Earth’s
magnetic
(磁性的)
field,
so
they
detect
electrical
signals
caused
by
electromagnetic
field
changes,
causing
them
to
pay
attention
to
the
warning
that
an
earthquake
is
about
to
happen.
The
United
States
Geological
Survey
states
that
there
has
been
no
concrete
evidence
for
the
fact
that
animal
behavior
has
a
relationship
with
the
occurrence
of
an
earthquake.
____38____
American
experts
on
earthquakes
are
also
skeptical.
They
think
that
animals
may
have
strange
behavior
at
any
time
due
to
other
reasons—because
they
are
hungry,
defending
their
“countries”,
or
are
about
to
face
a
dangerous
situation.
____39____
They
continue
to
follow
the
“anecdotal
evidence”.
The
hope
is
that
one
day
what
they
have
learned
will
prove
to
be
extremely
useful
in
predicting
earthquakes
more
accurately,
thus
saving
millions
of
lives.
A.
Exactly
what
animals
have
sensed
can’t
be
fully
understood.
B.
The
connection
between
them
has
never
been
scientifically
made.
C.
Other
researchers
around
the
world,
however,
have
not
given
up
on
the
idea.
D.
It
is
necessary
to
know
if
the
animal
behavior
is
an
advanced
warning
signal.
E.
Records
of
similar
animal
foretelling
of
earthquakes
have
surfaced
ever
since.
F.
Wild
creatures
also
show
various
kinds
of
abnormal
reactions
before
earthquakes.
G.
Perhaps
this
sense
that
some
animals
appear
to
have
can
protect
us
from
natural
disasters.

Discovered
by
Amateurs
Some
astronomers
spend
their
entire
careers
looking
for
new
discoveries
in
space,
but
a
10-year-old
Canadian
girl
found
one
on
her
first
try.
In
January,
2011,
Kathryn
Gray,
who
often
studied
stars,
was
looking
at
recent
pictures
of
outer
space
and
comparing
them
to
pictures
taken
years
earlier.
The
pictures
were
just
thousands
of
tiny
spots
of
light,
but
Gray
spotted
a
star
that
looked
different
in
the
recent
pictures.
Could
it
possibly
be
a
supernova
(超新星)?
Usually
a
supernova
is
brighter,
and
it
becomes
visible
through
a
telescope
due
to
the
brightness.
Later
Gray’s
discovery
was
confirmed,
and
she
became
the
youngest
person
to
discover
a
supernova.
Throughout
history,
important
discoveries
in
astronomy
have
been
made
by
amateurs.
An
early
example
is
William
Herschel,
who
discovered
Uranus
in
1781.
Uranus
had
been
observed
before,
but
expert
astronomers
thought
it
didn’t
belong
to
our
solar
system.
When
Herschel
saw
it
with
a
telescope
he
had
designed
and
built
himself,
he
realized
that
it
was
orbiting
the
sun.
This
meant
that
Uranus
was
a
planet.
And
so,
the
map
of
our
night
sky
was
changed
forever.
Then
in
1930,
a
major
discovery
was
made
by
a
24-year-old
man,
a
farmer’s
son,
with
no
college
education
or
formal
training
in
astronomy.
Clyde
Tombaugh
had
built
a
homemade
telescope
using
instructions
from
an
article
in
a
boy’s
magazine.
He
used
to
draw
detailed
pictures
of
the
surfaces
of
Mars
and
Jupiter.
He
sent
the
pictures
to
Dr.
V.
M.
Slipher
at
the
Lowell
Observatory,
who
was
so
impressed
and
offered
him
a
job
on
his
team.
Within
a
year,
Tombaugh
discovered
a
ninth
planet,
Pluto.
It
was
regarded
as
a
planet
for
76
years,
but
scientists
decided
in
2006
that
Pluto
didn’t
meet
all
of
the
criteria
for
a
true
planet.
It
was
then
considered
to
be
a
dwarf
planet.
John
Dobson
is
another
influential
amateur
astronomer
because
he
enabled
so
many
others
to
take
up
astronomy
as
a
hobby.
In
1956,
after
constant
attempts,
he
built
a
powerful
telescope
out
of
low-cost
materials,
such
as
paper
tubes
used
in
construction.
With
affordable
tools
like
Dobson’s
telescope,
more
amateurs
today
have
the
technology
that
is
needed
to
make
discoveries
of
their
own.

Why
did
Clyde
Tombaugh
get
a
job
at
the
Lowell
Observatory?

Please
decide
which
part
is
false
in
the
following
statement,
then
underline
it
and
explain
why.
The
four
amateur
astronomers
were
all
interested
in
astronomy
and
did
some
research,
so
they
finally
made
discoveries
of
their
own.

Which
of
the
amateur
