Just two days into the 2020 Atlantic hurricane season, Tropical Storm Cristobal was stirring up in the Gulf of Mexico.
It was the third Atlantic storm powerful enough to get a name this season; no other year on record has seen three named Atlantic storms so early. On average, the third storm forms around August 13, according to Accu Weather Storms like Cristobal are increasingly likely to become major hurricanes The chance of any tropical cyclone (气旋) becoming a major hurricane is increasing as human activity warms the globe.
A study from researchers at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the University of Wisconsin-Madison found that each new decade over the last 40 years has brought an 8 percent increase in the chance that a storm turns into a major hurricane.
“We have a significantly building body of evidence that these storms have already changed in very substantial (大量的) ways, and all of them are dangerous, ” said James Kossin, an atmospheric scientist a NOAA and the study’s lead author.
The findings, published in May, were based on 40 years of satellite data. Hurricanes are getting stronger and wetter because climate change is causing ocean and air temperatures to climb - 2019 was the second-hottest year on record, and it closed the hottest decade eve recorded Hurricanes feed on warm water.
What's more, higher water temperatures lead to sea. level rise, which increases the risk of flooding during high tides and storms surges. Warmer air also holds more atmospheric waster vapour, which enables tropical storms to strengthen and release more water.
“Almost all of the damage and death caused by hurricanes is done by major hurricanes, ” Kossin told CNN, “Increasing the likelihood of haying major hurricane will certainly increase this risk.”
4. What can we infer from paragraph 2
A. Cristobal is the earliest Atlantic storm this year
B. A storm can be named only if it reaches a certain speed
C. August is the average month to see the hurricane season begin
D. Human activities play a vital part in turning a tropical cyclone into a hurricane
5. Which of the following may cause the hurricanes to become more powerful
A. Warm water B. Sea - level rise
C. Water vapour D. Flooding
6. What do Kossin's words convey
A. His wish B. His concern
C. His D. His delight
7. What is the text mainly about
A. Whether satellites help forecast hurricanes
B. Human activities contribute to the global warming
C. Hurricanes come earlier and more strongly this year
D. Major hurricanes have caused severe damage and deaths this year
【答案】4. B 5. A 6. B 7. C
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇新闻报道。主要讲述了今年的飓风来得更早更猛烈。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段第一句“It was the third Atlantic storm powerful enough to get a name this season; no other year on record has seen three named Atlantic storms so early.(这是第三次大西洋风暴，强度足以在这个季节得名；没有其它任何一年有记录以来如此早地出现三次命名的大西洋风暴)”可知，风暴只有达到一定的速度才能被命名。故选B。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第六段“What's more, higher water temperatures lead to sea. level rise, which increases the risk of flooding during high tides and storms surges. Warmer air also holds more atmospheric waster vapour, which enables tropical storms to strengthen and release more water. (而且，较高的水温会导致海平面上升，这就增加了在大潮和风暴潮期间发生洪水的风险。更温暖的空气还保存了更多的大气水蒸气，这使得热带风暴能够加强并释放更多的水)”可知，温水可能导致飓风变得更强大。故选A。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Almost all of the damage and death caused by hurricanes is done by major hurricanes, ” Kossin told CNN, “Increasing the likelihood of haying major hurricane will certainly increase this risk. (几乎所有飓风造成的破坏和死亡都是由打飓风造成的，Kossin告诉CNN。增加发生打飓风的可能性肯定会增加这种风险)”可知，Kossin的话传达了他的担心。故选B。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据全文以及第二段“It was the third Atlantic storm powerful enough to get a name this season; no other year on record has seen three named Atlantic storms so early.

It is practically inevitable: sometime around the age of 40 people start to need reading glasses. Try as they might, there’s no avoiding it. One mobile app creator claims that practicing with their technology can train your eyes to see better.though some eye doctors are not sure.
The reason why many people eventually need reading glasses is that the lens (晶状体) of the eye loses flexibility with age, and has trouble focusing on nearby objects. The condition is called presbyopia (老花眼), which is just a natural side effect of aging.
The first app claiming to work out the solution is called GlassesOff. First you take a test given by the app, and then follow its customized training course. Three days a week, for 12-15 minutes, you’ll go through a series of visual exercises, such as recognizing small gray letters on a gray screen. After two or three months, it claims that you can kiss your reading glasses goodbye.
“We wanted to develop an application that can help people improve their reading ability by improving the way that the brain processes information.” says GlassesOff CEO Nimrod Madar. Until recently it wasn’t possible because scientists did not understand how the image processing capability of the brain actually works. “GlassesOff comes up with the idea of neuroplasticity (神经可塑性). Studies have shown that through training new connections can be made in the brain So that it can continue adapting to the world around us. In terms of vision, this means that through training, the brain may be able to form new connections that allow it to clearly process text even when the text is blurred by aging eyes.
In a 30-person study published in Scientific Reports in February, some participants were able to read letters 1.6 times smaller after using the app. Adults aged 40 to 60 years old had the most success. The study also found that the users’ eye health improved by an average of 8.6 years.
Sounds too good to be true Well it probably is. “Human vision quality is determined by the physical eye and the way he brain reads the information that the eye captures,” says Rhee, a doctor from Harvard University. “To think that we can reverse (逆转) presbyopia only by neuroplasticity is just not accurate.” It might not make a huge difference in terms of fighting presbyopia, but brain training could make a difference for younger people whose eyes are still more flexible.
8. Which of the following is NOT true about presbyopia
A. It is actually a natural phenomenon of aging of human eyes.
B. People tend to suffer form it when they reach the age of 40.
C. It can be prevented by means of proper eye muscle exercising.
D. It occurs when eyes fail to focus on nearby objects well.
9. GlassesOff may improve people’s reading ability by________.
A. helping people stay away from presbyopia
B. reducing the negative effects of aging on eyes
C. making the text that people read larger than normal
D. training the brain to process visual information better
10. The fourth paragraph mainly tell us_______.
A. the principle on which GlassesOff works
B. why researchers came up with Glassesoff
C. how training makes new connections in our brain
D. now our brain processes the information that our eyes take in
11. What is Rhee’s attitude towards GlassesOff
A. Optimistic. B. Negative. C. Doubtful. D. Unconcerned.
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. A 11. C
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了GlassesOff，一款App是怎样通过改善大脑处理信息的方式来帮助人们提高阅读能力的。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段第一句It is practically inevitable: sometime around the age of 40 people start to need reading glasses.(这几乎是不可避免的：大约在40岁左右，人们开始需要老花镜)和第二段The reason why many people eventually need reading glasses is that the lens (晶状体) of the eye loses flexibility with age, and has trouble focusing on nearby objects. The condition is called presbyopia (老花眼), which is just a natural side effect of aging.(许多人最终需要老花镜的原因是，随着年龄的增长，眼睛的晶状体失去了灵活性，并且难以聚焦于附近的物体。这种情况被称为老花眼，这只是衰老的自然副作用)可以判断ABD都是正确的，而C说可以通过适当的眼部肌肉锻炼来阻止老花眼，这是错误的，因为老花眼随着年龄的增长是不可避免的，故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段第一句“We wanted to develop an application that can help people improve their reading ability by improving the way that the brain processes information.” says GlassesOff CEO Nimrod Madar.(“我们想开发一款应用程序，通过改善大脑处理信息的方式来帮助人们提高阅读能力。”GlassesOff首席执行官尼姆罗德 马达尔说)可知，GlassesOff通过训练大脑更好地处理视觉信息来改善人们的阅读能力。故选D。
【10题详解】
主旨大意题。本段的主题句“We wanted to develop an application that can help people improve their reading ability by improving the way that the brain processes information.” says GlassesOff CEO Nimrod Madar. (“我们想开发一款应用程序，通过改善大脑处理信息的方式来帮助人们提高阅读能力。”GlassesOff首席执行官尼姆罗德 马达尔说)可知，本段就是在介绍GlassesOff这款App的工作原理。故选A。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段Sounds too good to be true Well, it probably is. “Human vision quality is determined by the physical eye and the way he brain reads the information that the eye captures,” says Rhee, a doctor from Harvard University. “To think that we can reverse (逆转) presbyopia only by neuroplasticity is just not accurate.”可知，听起来好得令人难以置信 嗯，它可能是。哈佛大学的博士Rhee说：“人类的视觉质量是由肉眼和大脑读取眼睛捕捉到的信息的方式决定的。”“认为仅仅通过神经可塑性就可以逆转老花眼是不准确的。”由此可知，看出Rhee对这款App持有怀疑的态度。故选C。
【点睛】一般定位关键词适用于解答细节理解题。通过定位关键词解题，考生在阅读题干时，把题干中有标记意义的词或词组划记出来，或者选项中的关键词，然后用这个词回到原文当中定位。如小题1题干中的presbyopia，定位回原文，可以帮助快速找出答案。根据文章第一段第一句It is practically inevitable: sometime around the age of 40 people start to need reading glasses.(这几乎是不可避免的：大约在40岁左右，人们开始需要老花镜)和第二段The reason why many people eventually need reading glasses is that the lens (晶状体) of the eye loses flexibility with age, and has trouble focusing on nearby objects.

Queen Rider
Bonnie Wyndham got out of her mother’s car and looked at Almonside School. “I’ll make you sorry I’ve come here,” she told her, pleasantly. Her mother was getting out of the other door at the time so she didn’t hear, but Bonnie wouldn’t have cared if she had. Her mother knew her feelings. Mrs. Wyndham looked about her. Almonside was a funny school, all bits and pieces, buildings hidden away amongst the trees on a wooded hillside; very confusing at first sight. Then she saw the signs on a post: science block, gymnasium, riding centre ...
“Riding centre,” said Bonnie, showing a sudden interest. “Headmaster’s study,” said her mother. “This way.”
Bonnie followed her mother along a broad drive that curved between trees.
“I wish you’d walk beside me instead of following me like a dog,” said Mrs. Wyndham wearily, but she didn’t seem to expect Bonnie to do so.
A few minutes later, her mother was talking to Bonnie’s new headmaster in his study, while Bonnie herself sat and waited outside the door. Suddenly, Bonnie jumped up. “Why should I just it here ” she said to herself. “I’ll be thrown out before very long, anyway,” she said mentally to the door, “so why not get it over and done with ” She left the building and headed for the riding centre in the direction indicated by the sign.
There was a nice old building where the horses were kept, and a large structure for indoor riding. Bonnie looked about her, but there was no one in sight. There was a certain reverence about her manner as she approached the animals. Bonnie treated horses with respect. The horses were very well looked after, she could tell that at once.
Almost every stall was occupied, and she wandered along looking carefully at each horse and judging it. “They know what they’re doing here,” she told a small pony as she ran a finger along its nose. It was the next horse that pulled her up short. “But aren’t you the best of the lot!” she said. He was brown with a touch of white. Lively, probably, but Bonnie liked that. “You know, I have the feeling we’ve met before,” said Bonnie, stroking his neck.
“It was in my dreams and I was riding you to victory in some big competition.” Over the stall was his name: Maverick.
Suddenly, she couldn’t resist the temptation to ride the horse. “I wonder where I can find a bridle for your head, and a saddle for your back. Can’t be far away.” The room containing all the riding equipment was --- Bonnie was delighted to discover --- unlocked. Absorbed in the pleasurable task of putting a saddle on Maverick’s back, she forgot all about her mother and the headmaster. When she sat up high on the big horse outside the building, she felt like a queen, mistress of all she could see. Her nickname at her previous school had been Queen Bee, and she laughed delightedly as she remembered it. You ‘re the best horse I’ve ever sat on, Maverick, ‘ she said admiringly, “and when I say that I’m not kidding, I can assure you, because I know about horses, even if I don t know about anything else.”
She nudged him into a walk, then into a trot. “If I stay here, I think you and I could be great friends,” she confided. She went round and round the paddock. The rhythm was exhilarating, a little breeze whipping smartly past her cheek and making it glow. She could tell Maverick trusted her, and she felt certain that he’d jump well.

Lively, probably, but Bonnie liked that. “You know, I have the feeling we’ve met before,” said Bonnie, stroking his neck. 下一匹马突然把她拉了回来。“但你不是这群马中最好的吗？”她说。他是棕色中带点白色。也许是活泼的，但邦妮喜欢这样。“你知道，我有一种我们以前见过面的感觉，”邦妮摸着他的脖子说。可知，邦尼看了那么多马，这匹马使得她评论了那么多并且说她喜欢这匹马，可知这匹马引起了她的注意，使得她惊喜，故选A项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“If I stay here, I think you and I could be great friends,” she confided. “如果我留在这里，我想你和我可以成为很好的朋友，”她倾诉道。可知，邦尼喜爱这匹马，因此她对新学校的态度应该是有留下来的意愿的了，故选C项。
第二节（共5小题；每小题15分，满分12. 5分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两个为多余选项。
Every animal sleeps, but the reason for this has remained foggy. When lab rats are not allowed to sleep, they die within a month. ___16___
One idea is that sleep helps us strengthen new memories. ___17___ We know that, while awake, fresh memories are recorded by reinforcing (加强) connections between brain cells, but the memory processes that take place while we sleep have been unclear.
Support is growing for a theory that sleep evolved so that connections between neurons(神经元) in the brain can be weakened overnight, making room for fresh memories to form the next day. ___18___
Now we have the most direct evidence yet that he is right. ___19___The synapses in the mice taken at the end of a period of sleep were 18 per cent smaller than those taken before sleep, showing that the connections between neurons weaken while sleeping.
If Tononi’s theory is right, it would explain why, when we miss a night’s, we find it harder the next day to concentrate and learn new information — our brains may have smaller room for new experiences.
Their research also suggests how we may build lasting memories over time even though the synapses become thinner. The team discovered that some synapses seem to be protected and stayed the same size. ___20___ “You keep what matters,” Tononi says.
A. We should also try to sleep well the night before.
B. It’s as if the brain is preserving its most important memories.
C. Similarly, when people go for a few days without sleeping, they get sick.
D. The processes take place to stop our brains becoming loaded with memories.
E. That’s why students do better in tests if they get a chance to sleep after learning.
F. “Sleep is the price we pay for learning,” says Giulio Tononi, who developed the idea.
G. Tononi’s team measured the size of these connections, or synapses, in the brains of 12 mice.
【答案】16. C 17. E 18. F 19. G 20. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。本文讲述了人和动物为什么需要睡眠的一些理论以及睡眠的重要性。
【16题详解】
根据前一句When lab rats are not allowed to sleep,they die within a month.当实验室的老鼠不允许睡觉时，一个月他们就死了，因此推断C项“同样，人几天不睡觉，也会生病”，人和动物对应起来，死和生病形成对应，故选C。
【17题详解】
前一句提到的睡觉有助于帮助我们加强新的记忆，因此推断学生在学习新知识后如果有机会睡一觉，他们在考试中就会表现得更好，前后逻辑关系很顺畅，因果联系，故选E。
【18题详解】
该空为段尾句，是对该段前面内容的总结，同时，结合第四段第一句话中的代词he可以知道，该空中必然包含一个人名，否则he就失去了所指对象，选项中包含人名的选项有F和G，但只有F选项能与第三段的内容衔接．也就是说，睡眠会帮助清除一部分记忆，为新记忆腾出空间，按照研究人员Tononi的话说，"睡眠是我们为学习付出的代价"。故选F。
【19题详解】
根据下文中提到关键词synapses in the mice以及整个句子可知，他肯定做了关于老鼠的实验，G项有关键词synapses，mice，都与他的实验有关，故选G。
【20题详解】
该空为尾段的倒数第二句话，应该与其前后的句子意义连贯．该空前面一句里出现了protect、stay，而该空后面一句出现了keep、matter，正好与选项B里的preserve和important呼应．也就是说，重要的记忆会被保留下来。前后逻辑关系顺畅，故选B。
第三部分 语言运用（共三节，满分35分）
第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分）
阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
For the past ten years, my dad and I have attended the same school — he as an administrator and I as a student. Our relationship, in and out of school, has been totally unpredictable.
When I was younger, all that my dad said was doctrine (信条) and anything he did I, ____21____, copied. We played games together, and stayed up late reading bedtime stories. I could ____22____ my dad taking me to school, running into him regularly during the day and riding home with him every afternoon.
As I grew older, we were not as ____23____ as we used to be. He wasn't cool any more. He wore his socks too high, listened to horrible country music and laughed too loudly in front of my friends. He became a total embarrassment.
However, the ____24____ that occurred in school were even worse. The worst one happened in seventh grade. My dad came to our New Year party, dressed up as Donald Duck, guitar in hand, singing silly songs. Just kill me! I wanted to run away.
This ____25____ continued into high school but we somehow began to find a balance. Things started to ____26____ around the time of my 10th-grade physics project. The ____27____ was to build a wood bridge with the best strength-to-weight ratio (比率). All the students and physics teachers ____28____ . So did my dad, the only administrator! Embarrassed as usual, I ____29____ the scene. However, later when I learned from my friends that my dad _____30_____ all competitors and won everyone's admiration. I found that mixed in with my _____31_____ was a touch of pride.

【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了地球日产生的过程和地球日的作用，它有效地提高了人们对环境问题的认识，改变了公众的态度。
【36题详解】
考查被动语态。句意:地球日成立于1970年,是一个关于环境问题的教育日。本句的主语Earth Day与谓语动词found之间是被动关系,应该用被动语态，因为是1970年，所以用一般过去时态的被动语态。故填was founded。
【37题详解】
考查名词。句意:整整七天的活动都集中在绿色生活上。event是可数名词“活动,事件”，七天的活动应该用复数形式。故填events。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:参议员盖洛德·纳尔逊1962年当选美国参议院议员。句中有谓语动词，所以空处需要非谓语动词。句子的主语Senator Gaylord Nelson与动词 elect之间是被动关系,所以用过去分词做状语。故填Elected。
【39题详解】
考查固定短语。句意:地球正处于危险之中。 at risk是固定短语“在危险中”。故填at。
【40题详解】
考查动名词的被动式。句意:纳尔逊在美国各地大学校园里进行的反越战“教学”的启发下,提出了“地球日”的构想。 after后跟动名词作宾语，纳尔逊与动词 inspire之间是被动关系，所以用动名词的被动式。故填being inspired。
【41题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:曾在斯坦福大学担任学生会主席的年轻活动家丹尼斯·海耶斯被选为地球日的国家协调员。young activist为先行词，在定语从句中做主语，所以用who或者that引导。故填who/that。
【42题详解】
考查冠词。句意:他与一群学生志愿者和纳尔逊参议院办公室的几名工作人员一起组织起这个项目。固定短语，an army of… “一群…”。故填an。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:他与一群学生志愿者和纳尔逊参议院办公室的几名工作人员一起组织起这个项目。句中已有谓语动词，所以空处需要非谓语，在句中做目的状语，所以用动词不定式表目的。故填to organize。
【44题详解】
考查名词。句意:第一个地球日有效地提高了人们对环境问题的认识。 awareness是抽象名词“认识”。分析句子结构可知，空处需要名词做宾语，raise awareness，“提高意识”。故填awareness。
【45题详解】
考查形容词最高级。句意:这将是历史上最大的志愿者活动。根据空前的the，和后面的in history,可知，这将是历史上最大的志愿者活动，所以用形容词最高级。故填largest。

57. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Nick was new, so he didn’t have many friends. One day when he sat by himself at lunch, the headmaster walked in and announced that it was the basketball season, so they needed to practice after school till 6. Nick smiled. He loved playing basketball.
Later that day it was time to go to the first practice of the season. There were other guys and they all sat together talking, but Nick just sat there and waited. “Alright boys! Line up and tell me your names,” the coach demanded. “Ricky, Derick, Josh, Dan, Nick.” they answered, one after another. Practice went on and the coach began to try out the boys. Ricky and his friends did really good. But the coach ran out of time before he could try out Nick.
The next day, Ricky and his friends came up to Nick and told him he wasn’t good enough though they had never seen him play. Nick said nothing. Soon enough it was time for Nick to try out. “We will start with free throws,” the coach said. Nick stood on the free throw line and then shot. He didn’t miss one shot. The boys were amazed. Ricky was mad because they were all giving the attention to Nick. The coach informed Nick that he made the team. All the boys were congratulating him.
Nick was happy that he was on the team and it was a good way to make friends. Ricky just stood there and looked at him in anger. Ricky always got the attention but now Nick did because he’s an amazing player. The next day came and Nick went to lunch. He sat by himself and the next thing he knew was that the table he was sitting at was filled with all the basketball players except Ricky.
Soon enough it was time for their first game. The game was a close one ... There were 5 seconds left and Ricky had the ball. Everyone was blocked but Nick was open. “I'm open. I’m open,” Nick said over and over.

【答案】Version 1:
Ricky saw that he was open but he didn’t care. Ricky went to try and shoot, but missed. Their team lost by one point. Nick was right by the basket but Ricky didn’t pass the ball because he didn’t like Nick. As soon as the game was over, the coach waited for them all to get into the locker room and said sadly, “There was no reason we should lose. We were one point behind. Ricky could have made it but he decided to shoot himself. I’m so disappointed.”
Nick decided to talk to Ricky after they failed the game. “Only if we work together can we succeed,” Nick said seriously. Ricky regretted what he had done and realized the importance of good teamwork. Weeks went by and it was time for another game. Ricky and Nick were both in. They were working together. They caught up and ended up winning the rest of the games of the whole season. Nick and Ricky became really good friends. They can’t wait till next year to play again .
Version 2:
Ricky saw that he was open but he didn’t care. He just wanted to show off how well he could play so that he could catch other people’s attention again. He tried his best to shoot, but to his surprise, he didn’t make it. The team lost in the end. The coach and the teammates were very disappointed with Ricky, thinking that he had no sense of teamwork. Ricky was sorry for the mistake he had made, but there was nothing he could do about it.
Nick decided to talk to Ricky after they failed the game. “Hey, Ricky, if you don’t like me, just keep off the court. But if you want to succeed, just work as a team.” In fact, Ricky had regretted not being able to work with the team. He decided to see Nick as a role model. The boys went home and had hours of practice the next day. In the following games of the whole season, they achieved great success one after another due to their unity.

Just two days into the 2020 Atlantic hurricane season, Tropical Storm Cristobal was stirring up in the Gulf of Mexico.
It was the third Atlantic storm powerful enough to get a name this season; no other year on record has seen three named Atlantic storms so early. On average, the third storm forms around August 13, according to Accu Weather Storms like Cristobal are increasingly likely to become major hurricanes The chance of any tropical cyclone (气旋) becoming a major hurricane is increasing as human activity warms the globe.
A study from researchers at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the University of Wisconsin-Madison found that each new decade over the last 40 years has brought an 8 percent increase in the chance that a storm turns into a major hurricane.
“We have a significantly building body of evidence that these storms have already changed in very substantial (大量的) ways, and all of them are dangerous, ” said James Kossin, an atmospheric scientist a NOAA and the study’s lead author.
The findings, published in May, were based on 40 years of satellite data. Hurricanes are getting stronger and wetter because climate change is causing ocean and air temperatures to climb - 2019 was the second-hottest year on record, and it closed the hottest decade eve recorded Hurricanes feed on warm water.
What's more, higher water temperatures lead to sea. level rise, which increases the risk of flooding during high tides and storms surges. Warmer air also holds more atmospheric waster vapour, which enables tropical storms to strengthen and release more water.
“Almost all of the damage and death caused by hurricanes is done by major hurricanes, ” Kossin told CNN, “Increasing the likelihood of haying major hurricane will certainly increase this risk.”
4. What can we infer from paragraph 2
A. Cristobal is the earliest Atlantic storm this year
B. A storm can be named only if it reaches a certain speed
C. August is the average month to see the hurricane season begin
D. Human activities play a vital part in turning a tropical cyclone into a hurricane
5. Which of the following may cause the hurricanes to become more powerful
A. Warm water B. Sea - level rise
C. Water vapour D. Flooding
6. What do Kossin's words convey
A. His wish B. His concern
C. His D. His delight
7. What is the text mainly about
A. Whether satellites help forecast hurricanes
B. Human activities contribute to the global warming
C. Hurricanes come earlier and more strongly this year
D. Major hurricanes have caused severe damage and deaths this year

It is practically inevitable: sometime around the age of 40 people start to need reading glasses. Try as they might, there’s no avoiding it. One mobile app creator claims that practicing with their technology can train your eyes to see better.though some eye doctors are not sure.
The reason why many people eventually need reading glasses is that the lens (晶状体) of the eye loses flexibility with age, and has trouble focusing on nearby objects. The condition is called presbyopia (老花眼), which is just a natural side effect of aging.
The first app claiming to work out the solution is called GlassesOff. First you take a test given by the app, and then follow its customized training course. Three days a week, for 12-15 minutes, you’ll go through a series of visual exercises, such as recognizing small gray letters on a gray screen. After two or three months, it claims that you can kiss your reading glasses goodbye.
“We wanted to develop an application that can help people improve their reading ability by improving the way that the brain processes information.” says GlassesOff CEO Nimrod Madar. Until recently it wasn’t possible because scientists did not understand how the image processing capability of the brain actually works. “GlassesOff comes up with the idea of neuroplasticity (神经可塑性). Studies have shown that through training new connections can be made in the brain So that it can continue adapting to the world around us. In terms of vision, this means that through training, the brain may be able to form new connections that allow it to clearly process text even when the text is blurred by aging eyes.
In a 30-person study published in Scientific Reports in February, some participants were able to read letters 1.6 times smaller after using the app. Adults aged 40 to 60 years old had the most success. The study also found that the users’ eye health improved by an average of 8.6 years.
Sounds too good to be true Well, it probably is. “Human vision quality is determined by the physical eye and the way he brain reads the information that the eye captures,” says Rhee, a doctor from Harvard University. “To think that we can reverse (逆转) presbyopia only by neuroplasticity is just not accurate.” It might not make a huge difference in terms of fighting presbyopia, but brain training could make a difference for younger people whose eyes are still more flexible.
8. Which of the following is NOT true about presbyopia
A. It is actually a natural phenomenon of aging of human eyes.
B. People tend to suffer form it when they reach the age of 40.
C. It can be prevented by means of proper eye muscle exercising.
D. It occurs when eyes fail to focus on nearby objects well.
9. GlassesOff may improve people’s reading ability by________.
A helping people stay away from presbyopia
B. reducing the negative effects of aging on eyes
C. making the text that people read larger than normal
D. training the brain to process visual information better
10. The fourth paragraph mainly tell us_______.
A. the principle on which GlassesOff works
B. why researchers came up with Glassesoff
C. how training makes new connections in our brain
D. now our brain processes the information that our eyes take in
11. What is Rhee’s attitude towards GlassesOff
A. Optimistic. B. Negative. C. Doubtful. D. Unconcerned.
D
Queen Rider
Bonnie Wyndham got out of her mother’s car and looked at Almonside School. “I’ll make you sorry I’ve come here,” she told her, pleasantly. Her mother was getting out of the other door at the time so she didn’t hear, but Bonnie wouldn’t have cared if she had. Her mother knew her feelings. Mrs. Wyndham looked about her. Almonside was a funny school, all bits and pieces, buildings hidden away amongst the trees on a wooded hillside; very confusing at first sight. Then she saw the signs on a post: science block, gymnasium, riding centre ...
“Riding centre,” said Bonnie, showing a sudden interest. “Headmaster’s study,” said her mother. “This way.”
Bonnie followed her mother along a broad drive that curved between trees.
“I wish you’d walk beside me instead of following me like a dog,” said Mrs. Wyndham wearily, but she didn’t seem to expect Bonnie to do so.
A few minutes later, her mother was talking to Bonnie’s new headmaster in his study, while Bonnie herself sat and waited outside the door. Suddenly, Bonnie jumped up. “Why should I just it here ” she said to herself. “I’ll be thrown out before very long, anyway,” she said mentally to the door, “so why not get it over and done with ” She left the building and headed for the riding centre in the direction indicated by the sign.
There was a nice old building where the horses were kept, and a large structure for indoor riding. Bonnie looked about her, but there was no one in sight. There was a certain reverence about her manner as she approached the animals. Bonnie treated horses with respect. The horses were very well looked after, she could tell that at once.
Almost every stall was occupied, and she wandered along looking carefully at each horse and judging it. “They know what they’re doing here,” she told a small pony as she ran a finger along its nose. It was the next horse that pulled her up short. “But aren’t you the best of the lot!” she said. He was brown with a touch of white. Lively, probably, but Bonnie liked that. “You know, I have the feeling we’ve met before,” said Bonnie, stroking his neck.
“It was in my dreams and I was riding you to victory in some big competition.” Over the stall was his name: Maverick.
Suddenly, she couldn’t resist the temptation to ride the horse. “I wonder where I can find a bridle for your head, and a saddle for your back. Can’t be far away.” The room containing all the riding equipment was --- Bonnie was delighted to discover --- unlocked. Absorbed in the pleasurable task of putting a saddle on Maverick’s back, she forgot all about her mother and the headmaster. When she sat up high on the big horse outside the building, she felt like a queen, mistress of all she could see. Her nickname at her previous school had been Queen Bee, and she laughed delightedly as she remembered it. You ‘re the best horse I’ve ever sat on, Maverick, ‘ she said admiringly, “and when I say that I’m not kidding, I can assure you, because I know about horses, even if I don t know about anything else.”
She nudged him into a walk, then into a trot. “If I stay here, I think you and I could be great friends,” she confided. She went round and round the paddock. The rhythm was exhilarating, a little breeze whipping smartly past her cheek and making it glow. She could tell Maverick trusted her, and she felt certain that he’d jump well.

A. She was used to being obeyed by Bonnie.

Every animal sleeps, but the reason for this has remained foggy. When lab rats are not allowed to sleep, they die within a month. ___16___
One idea is that sleep helps us strengthen new memories. ___17___ We know that, while awake, fresh memories are recorded by reinforcing (加强) connections between brain cells, but the memory processes that take place while we sleep have been unclear.
Support is growing for a theory that sleep evolved so that connections between neurons(神经元) in the brain can be weakened overnight, making room for fresh memories to form the next day. ___18___
Now we have the most direct evidence yet that he is right. ___19___The synapses in the mice taken at the end of a period of sleep were 18 per cent smaller than those taken before sleep, showing that the connections between neurons weaken while sleeping.
If Tononi’s theory is right, it would explain why, when we miss a night’s, we find it harder the next day to concentrate and learn new information — our brains may have smaller room for new experiences.
Their research also suggests how we may build lasting memories over time even though the synapses become thinner. The team discovered that some synapses seem to be protected and stayed the same size. ___20___ “You keep what matters,” Tononi says.
A. We should also try to sleep well the night before.
B. It’s as if the brain is preserving its most important memories.
C. Similarly, when people go for a few days without sleeping, they get sick.
D. The processes take place to stop our brains becoming loaded with memories.
E. That’s why students do better in tests if they get a chance to sleep after learning.
F. “Sleep is the price we pay for learning,” says Giulio Tononi, who developed the idea.
G. Tononi’s team measured the size of these connections, or synapses, in the brains of 12 mice.
