One of Britain' s most outstanding scientists says the growth in the use of electronic tablets and smart phones is causing people to spend so much time indoors that they need to take regular vitamin D supplements to make up for the lack of sunlight they receive naturally.
Geneticist Steve Jones said he himself was a follower to the cause and urged others to follow. “I never thought I would be a person who would take vitamin supplements;I always thought it was absolute nonsense. But now I take vitamin D every day. Today, because I knew the sun wasn't going to shine, I took an extra one,” he said.
Exposure to the sun is the major source of vitamin D. However, people are spending less and less time outdoors in many areas. The problem is particularly serious in Scotland. "The Scots are the whitest people in the world because their entire body systems are crying out for vitamin D," he said, adding that life expectancy in Scotland is two years shorter than in England or Wales. Multiple sclerosis (多发性硬化症), a medical condition which is often seen in northern Europe, is also higher in Scotland than in England.
Vitamin D helps with the absorption of Ca, which helps keep bones strong. And Jones said the fact that rickets (佝偻病) was making a comeback in Britain after nearly 50 years was another sign of how changing behavior patterns were bringing physical harm.
Jones admitted that concerns over the damaging effects on skin of long-time exposure to the sun were reasonable, but said sunlight was healthy and necessary for the human body, and could help in lowering blood pressure. "If you lie on the beach for an hour, you will drop your blood pressure by about 10 points, because it relaxes your blood vessels (血管). So, get out in the sun while we still can," he said.
24. How are people affected by the rise of technology according to the text
A. They are more sensitive to sunlight
B. They take more vitamin D supplements.
C. They get less vitamin D than before.
D. They become addicted to electronic games.
25. What’s Jones’ attitude towards taking vitamin D supplements now
A. Skeptical. B. Cautious.
C. Worried. D. Supportive.
26. Why are the Scots the whitest people in the world
A. Because they are in great need of sunlight.
B. Because their blood pressure is very low.
C. Because they enjoy a short period of sunshine.
D. Because they are easy to get multiple sclerosis.
27. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Get out and gain more Vitamin D
B. Keep away from tablets and phones
C Pay attention to the importance of sunlight
D. Take vitamin D supplements to keep healthy
C
An international group of electronic music composers is taking beats from the dance club to jungles and forests and back, all to help save nature's greatest singers. A Guide to the Birdsong of Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean is a new album that includes the sounds of endangered birds. The album will come out next month, whose proceeds will go directly towards efforts to save birds.
The whole project was born out of this idea of trying to combine birdsong, electronic music and conservation. A Guide to the Birdsong of Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean was organized by activist, music producer, Robin Perkins. He invited artists from each of the endangered birds 'homelands to build their own songs around the birds’ songs. There are contributions from ten artists in eight different countries.
First single Black Catbird was created by The Garifuna Collective, from Belize. Al Obando, guitarist and producer of the group, always took in national parks and viewed birds when on the road with the band. “There are no trails, and there are no signs there to tell you about what you reseeing,” Obando says. “So we're trying to do something for the birds and nature tourism.”
Another musician who responded to Robin's call is Tamara Montenegro, an artist from Nicaragua. She was shocked to hear of the serious situation of the Guardabarranco after being approached: “This beautiful creature I grew up adoring also faced the influence of the systematic human activities”. In response, she created a song inspired by this bird and the challenges it faces to live naturally.
The new album is the second edition, following on from A Guide to the Birdsong of South America, produced by Robin in 2015. That first album has raised, to date, over $15,000 benefitting conservation projects in South America. As with the first album, all of the money from the sales of the new album will support specific organizations, including Birds Caribbean.
28. What does the underlined word “proceeds” in Paragraph 1 refer to
A. Profits. B. Budgets. C. Challenges. D. Effects.
29. What do we know about Al Obando
A. He created a hit single himself.
B. He was fond of observing birds.
C. He was the organizer of the new album.
D. He did a lot for birds in South America.
30. Why was Tamara astonished to learn of the Guardabarranco
A. It was friendly to humans.
B. It was beautiful in appearance.
C. It was losing its living environment.
D. It was facing challenges from other birds.
31. What is the author's purpose in writing the text
A. To collect money for a project.
B. To popularize electronic music.
C. To recommend some famous artists.
D. To introduce a new album of electronic music.
D
Microplastics(MPS) are tiny bits or threads of plastic, which are often too small to be seen. The current study shows that MPS are constantly coming down in great numbers, even in remote, protected lands.
The scientists didn't set out to study MPS. Dr. Janice Brahney from Utah State University created the experiment to test her equipment, which was meant to track the way helpful chemicals travel to farms through the air. The experiment used buckets (桶)that opened and closed automatically depending on the weather. This allowed the researchers to separate dust that fell during rain storms from dust that was carried in dry air. These "wet" and "dry" buckets were set up at 11 different protected, remote areas in the western US and checked regularly for over a year.
But when Dr. Brahney and her team began to study the dust they had collected, they got a surprise-MPS. By figuring out how much plastic was falling per square meter, the scientists were able to get a good idea of how much plastic was falling in all of the protected areas in the western US every year. The answer was a shocking 907,185 kilograms, which is enough plastic to make over 123 million plastic bottles.
MPS have been found in tap waler, bottled water, and in sea animals that people eat. Now there is growing proof that we are also breathing MPS all the time. Scientists still don't know how eating or breathing MPS will affect people, though many of the chemicals from plastics are known to cause health problems. There are concerns that MPS can get stuck in the lungs, where they may lead to long-term problems.
Dr. Brahney says that for these reasons, it’s important to slop producing and using plastic. She points out that much of the dust the scientists collected was too small to lest. Also, she says that the scientists only studied MPS that fell in protected areas in die western US - about 6% of the US land area.
32 How did Dr. Brahney and her team find microplastics
A. By comparison. B. By chance. C. By origin. D. By design.
33. What wails for scientists to uncover about MPS
A. How to get MPS' helpful chemicals. B. How to separate wet and dry MPS.
C. How taking in MPS will affect people. D. How MPS travel a long distance.
34. What does Dr. Brahney convey about MPS in the last paragraph
A. Most of them stay in the dust.
B. They fall mainly in the Western US.
C. They'll lead to the end of plastic use.
D. Their actual amount is higher than that tested.
35. What is the best title for the text
A. Researchers Arc Observing MPS. B. People Used to Ignore MPS Problem.
C. MPS Are Traveling all over the World. D. MPS Rain Down in Protected Lands.

【原文】A pen-friend is a friend you have never met but to whom you write letters. Many people have pen-friends in different countries. They write and receive letters and sometimes keep their pen-friends for many years. Sometimes they meet their pen-friends and they even get married. But usually, people do not meet their pen-friends because they live many miles away from each other. Most pen-friends are between children living in different countries. They write to one another to find out about the way of life in other countries. Sometimes they write so that they can practice using another’s languages. Letters between pen-friends are usually full of information about the writer’s own country: his own town, school, interests and so on. Pen-friends often send one another stamps and coins and picture postcards of their own countries’ best place to find a pen-friend is in a children’s magazine. Most magazines for young people list the names and addresses of children in different countries, who are looking for pen-friends; for example: John Smith, aged 14,living at 16 New Road, London, England, wants a pen-friend in China. He is interested in collecting stamps and listening to music.

One of Britain' s most outstanding scientists says the growth in the use of electronic tablets and smart phones is causing people to spend so much time indoors that they need to take regular vitamin D supplements to make up for the lack of sunlight they receive naturally.
Geneticist Steve Jones said he himself was a follower to the cause and urged others to follow. “I never thought I would be a person who would take vitamin supplements;I always thought it was absolute nonsense. But now I take vitamin D every day. Today, because I knew the sun wasn't going to shine, I took an extra one,” he said.
Exposure to the sun is the major source of vitamin D. However, people are spending less and less time outdoors in many areas. The problem is particularly serious in Scotland. "The Scots are the whitest people in the world because their entire body systems are crying out for vitamin D," he said, adding that life expectancy in Scotland is two years shorter than in England or Wales. Multiple sclerosis (多发性硬化症), a medical condition which is often seen in northern Europe, is also higher in Scotland than in England.
Vitamin D helps with the absorption of Ca, which helps keep bones strong. And Jones said the fact that rickets (佝偻病) was making a comeback in Britain after nearly 50 years was another sign of how changing behavior patterns were bringing physical harm.
Jones admitted that concerns over the damaging effects on skin of long-time exposure to the sun were reasonable, but said sunlight was healthy and necessary for the human body, and could help in lowering blood pressure. "If you lie on the beach for an hour, you will drop your blood pressure by about 10 points, because it relaxes your blood vessels (血管). So, get out in the sun while we still can," he said.
24. How are people affected by the rise of technology according to the text
A. They are more sensitive to sunlight
B. They take more vitamin D supplements.
C. They get less vitamin D than before.
D. They become addicted to electronic games.
25. What’s Jones’ attitude towards taking vitamin D supplements now
A. Skeptical. B. Cautious.
C. Worried. D. Supportive.
26. Why are the Scots the whitest people in the world
A. Because they are in great need of sunlight.
B. Because their blood pressure is very low.
C. Because they enjoy a short period of sunshine.
D. Because they are easy to get multiple sclerosis.
27. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Get out and gain more Vitamin D
B. Keep away from tablets and phones
C. Pay attention to the importance of sunlight
D. Take vitamin D supplements to keep healthy
【答案】24. C 25. D 26. A 27. A
【解析】

推理判断题。根据第一段“One of Britain' s most outstanding scientists says the growth in the use of electronic tablets and smart phones is causing people to spend so much time indoors that they need to take regular vitamin D supplements to make up for the lack of sunlight they receive naturally.(一位英国最杰出的科学家表示,平板电脑和智能手机的更多使用导致人们花太多时间呆在室内,他们需要定期服用维生素D补充剂来弥补他们自然接受阳光的不足)”可推知,由于技术进步的影响,人们在室内工作的时间长,得到的维生素D比以前少。故选C项。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中Steve Jones所说“But now I take vitamin D every day. Today, because I knew the sun wasn't going to shine, I took an extra one.(但现在我每天都服用维生素D。今天,因为我知道不会有太阳,所以我多拿了一张)”可推知,Jones对服用维生素D补充剂是持支持态度的。故选D项。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中Jones 所说“The Scots are the whitest people in the world because their entire body systems are crying out for vitamin D.(苏格兰人是世界上最白的人,因为他们的整个身体系统都急需维生素D)”可知,苏格兰人是世界上最白的人因为他们缺乏维生素D,结合本段第一句“Exposure to the sun is the major source of vitamin D.(暴露在阳光下是维生素D的主要来源)”可知,他们非常需要阳光。故选A项。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其根据第三段中“Exposure to the sun is the major source of vitamin D. (暴露在阳光下是维生素D的主要来源)”以及最后一段中Jones 所说“So, get out in the sun while we still can.(所以,趁我们还能出去晒晒太阳吧)”等内容可知,本文主要讲述了暴露在阳光下是维生素D的主要来源。而维生素D对身体很有益,号召人们走向户外多晒晒太阳,以便获取更多的维生素D。选项A“到户外去获取更多的维生素D”紧贴文章主题,且有号召性,适合做标题。故选A项。

An international group of electronic music composers is taking beats from the dance club to jungles and forests and back, all to help save nature's greatest singers. A Guide to the Birdsong of Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean is a new album that includes the sounds of endangered birds. The album will come out next month, whose proceeds will go directly towards efforts to save birds.
The whole project was born out of this idea of trying to combine birdsong, electronic music and conservation. A Guide to the Birdsong of Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean was organized by activist, music producer, Robin Perkins. He invited artists from each of the endangered birds 'homelands to build their own songs around the birds’ songs. There are contributions from ten artists in eight different countries.
First single Black Catbird was created by The Garifuna Collective, from Belize. Al Obando, guitarist and producer of the group, always took in national parks and viewed birds when on the road with the band. “There are no trails, and there are no signs there to tell you about what you reseeing,” Obando says. “So we're trying to do something for the birds and nature tourism.”
Another musician who responded to Robin's call is Tamara Montenegro, an artist from Nicaragua. She was shocked to hear of the serious situation of the Guardabarranco after being approached: “This beautiful creature I grew up adoring also faced the influence of the systematic human activities”. In response, she created a song inspired by this bird and the challenges it faces to live naturally.
The new album is the second edition, following on from A Guide to the Birdsong of South America, produced by Robin in 2015. That first album has raised, to date, over $15,000 benefitting conservation projects in South America. As with the first album, all of the money from the sales of the new album will support specific organizations, including Birds Caribbean.
28. What does the underlined word “proceeds” in Paragraph 1 refer to
A. Profits. B. Budgets. C. Challenges. D. Effects.
29. What do we know about Al Obando
A. He created a hit single himself.
B. He was fond of observing birds.
C. He was the organizer of the new album.
D. He did a lot for birds in South America.
30. Why was Tamara astonished to learn of the Guardabarranco
A. It was friendly to humans.
B. It was beautiful in appearance.
C. It was losing its living environment.
D. It was facing challenges from other birds.
31. What is the author's purpose in writing the text
A. To collect money for a project.
B. To popularize electronic music.
C. To recommend some famous artists.
D. To introduce a new album of electronic music.
【答案】28. A 29. B 30. C 31. D
【解析】

词句猜测题。根据文章最后两句“That first album has raised, to date, over $15,000 benefitting conservation projects in South America. As with the first album, all of the money from the sales of the new album will support specific organizations, including Birds Caribbean.”可知,迄今为止第一张专辑已经筹集了超过15000美元,使南美洲的保护项目受益。与第一张专辑一样,新专辑销售的全部收入将用于支持特定组织,包括Birds Caribbean。由此可知,新专辑产生的 “收益”将直接用于拯救鸟类的行动,因此划线词的意思应为“收入,收益”。故选A项。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Al Obando, guitarist and producer of the group, always took in national parks and viewed birds when on the road with the band.”可知,乐队的吉他手兼制作人Al Obando经常在国家公园里参观,并在与乐队一起出行时欣赏鸟类。由此可知,Al Obando喜欢游览公园、观赏鸟类。故选B项。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中的“She was shocked to hear of the serious situation of the Guardabarranco ,this beautiful creature I grew up adoring also faced the influence of the systematic human activities”.”可知,她震惊地听到了瓜达巴兰科鸟所处的严峻形势,从小到大她一直喜爱的这个美丽的生物也面临着系统的人类活动的影响。由此可推知,使她感到吃惊的是这类鸟因为人类活动的影响正在丧失其生存环境而处于濒临灭绝的境遇中。故选C项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中的“An international group of electronic music composers is taking beats from the dance club to jungles and forests and back, all to help save nature’s greatest singers.

D
Microplastics(MPS) are tiny bits or threads of plastic, which are often too small to be seen. The current study shows that MPS are constantly coming down in great numbers, even in remote, protected lands.
The scientists didn't set out to study MPS. Dr. Janice Brahney from Utah State University created the experiment to test her equipment, which was meant to track the way helpful chemicals travel to farms through the air. The experiment used buckets (桶)that opened and closed automatically depending on the weather. This allowed the researchers to separate dust that fell during rain storms from dust that was carried in dry air. These "wet" and "dry" buckets were set up at 11 different protected, remote areas in the western US and checked regularly for over a year.
But when Dr. Brahney and her team began to study the dust they had collected, they got a surprise-MPS. By figuring out how much plastic was falling per square meter, the scientists were able to get a good idea of how much plastic was falling in all of the protected areas in the western US every year. The answer was a shocking 907,185 kilograms, which is enough plastic to make over 123 million plastic bottles.
MPS have been found in tap waler, bottled water, and in sea animals that people eat. Now there is growing proof that we are also breathing MPS all the time. Scientists still don't know how eating or breathing MPS will affect people, though many of the chemicals from plastics are known to cause health problems. There are concerns that MPS can get stuck in the lungs, where they may lead to long-term problems.
Dr. Brahney says that for these reasons it’s important to slop producing and using plastic. She points out that much of the dust the scientists collected was too small to lest. Also, she says that the scientists only studied MPS that fell in protected areas in die western US - about 6% of the US land area.
32. How did Dr. Brahney and her team find microplastics
A. By comparison. B. By chance. C. By origin. D. By design.
33. What wails for scientists to uncover about MPS
A. How to get MPS' helpful chemicals. B. How to separate wet and dry MPS.
C. How taking in MPS will affect people. D. How MPS travel a long distance.
34. What does Dr. Brahney convey about MPS in the last paragraph
A. Most of them stay in the dust.
B. They fall mainly in the Western US.
C. They'll lead to the end of plastic use.
D. Their actual amount is higher than that tested.
35. What is the best title for the text
A. Researchers Arc Observing MPS. B. People Used to Ignore MPS Problem.
C. MPS Are Traveling all over the World. D. MPS Rain Down in Protected Lands.
【答案】32. B 33. C 34. D 35. D
【解析】
【分析】本文属于说明文。主要介绍了科学家们意外发现每年都有大量的微塑料被风和雨带到美国西部偏远的保护区。他们对这些微塑料对人类产生怎样的影响还不清楚。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“The scientists didn't set out to study MPS. Dr. Janice Brahney from Utah State University created the experiment to test her equipment, which was meant to track the way helpful chemicals travel to farms through the air.( 科学家们并没有开始研究微塑料 。犹他州立大学的珍妮丝·布兰尼博士创建了这个实验,以测试她的设备,该设备旨在追踪有益化学物质通过空气进入农场的方式)”和第三段“But when Dr. Brahney and her team began to study the dust they had collected, they got a surprise-MPS.( 但当布兰尼博士和她的团队开始研究收集到的灰尘时,他们得到了一个惊喜——MPS)”可知:科学家们并没有打算研究微塑料。珍妮丝·布兰尼博士设计的那个实验是为了测试她的设备,该设备旨在追踪有益化学物质通过空气进入农场的方式。但是当她和她的团队开始研究收集的灰尘时,他们得到了一个惊喜--微塑料。由此说明她们是意外发现这些微塑料的。故选B项。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Scientists still don't know how eating or breathing MPS will affect people, though…(科学家们仍然不知道食用或呼吸微塑料会对人类产生怎样的影响)”信息可知,科学家们仍然不知道食用或呼吸微塑料会对人类产生怎样的影响。故选C项。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。最后一段“Also, she says that the scientists only studied MPS that fell in protected areas in die western US - about 6% of the US land area.( 此外,她说,科学家们只研究了掉落在美国西部保护区的MPS——大约占美国陆地面积的6% )”由此推知,微塑料的实际数量应该比检测到的还要多。故选D项。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。本文第一段“The current study shows that MPS are constantly coming down in great numbers, even in remote, protected lands.( 目前的研究表明,即使在偏远的受保护土地上,MPS的数量也在不断大批落下)”以及第二、三、五段均提到了protected一词。本文主要在谈科学家们在美国西部偏远而且是受保护的地区收集到了从很远地方飘来的大量的微塑料。D项“微塑料像雨点一样降落在受保护的土地上”能够涵盖文章主要内容。故选D项。

A. “Birds of a feather flock together.”
B. “Fine feathers do not make fine birds”
C. When someone says something nice, embrace it

【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了太阳系中第五颗行星——木星的一些情况。木星的大气层被云带所覆盖,并充满了巨大的旋转风暴,到目前为止,已经有九艘宇宙飞船被派往研究木星。
【61题详解】
考查形容词。句意:如果你去寻找一颗与地球完全不同的行星,你不用走那么远,至少从空间角度来说是这样。修饰后文名词planet应用形容词different,作定语。故填different。
【62题详解】
考查冠词。句意:只要看看我们太阳系的第五颗行星——木星就知道了。后文fifth为序数词,前面要与定冠词the连用。故填the。
【63题详解】
考查代词。句意:它的质量是太阳系中其他所有行星质量总和的两倍多。此处指代上文同类事物mass,且mass不可数,应用that指代。故填that。
【64题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:木星的大气层被云带所覆盖,并充满了巨大的旋转风暴。分析句子结构可知spin在句中应用非谓语动词形式,与逻辑主语storms构成主动关系,故用现在分词作定语。故填spinning。
【65题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:其中最著名的是Great Red Spot,它大得可以容纳下地球。此处为非限制性定语从句修饰先行词Great Red Spot,先行词在从句中作主语,指物,故应用关系代词which,that不能引导非限制性定语从句。故填which。
【66题详解】
考查名词的数。句意:木星也是一个充满谜题的行星。puzzle为可数名词,根据空前的“full of”可知,此处应用名词的复数形式。故填puzzles。
【67题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意:接下来的问题是,究竟是什么推动了这些巨大的风暴。此处陈述客观事实应用一般现在时,主语为what,故谓语动词一般用第三人称单数,故填drives。
【68题详解】
考查动词时态语态。句意:到目前为止,已经派出了九艘宇宙飞船去研究木星。根据时间状语by now可知,此处应用现在完成时,且谓语动词与主语构成被动关系,所以用现在完成时的被动语态,主语为Nine spacecrafts,助动词用have。故填have been sent。
【69题详解】
考查副词。句意:当这艘宇宙飞船最终退役时,地球上的领航员将把它送上一条通往木星大气层的死亡之路。修饰动词retires,应用副词finally,作状语。故填finally。
【70题详解】
考查名词。句意:当这艘宇宙飞船最终退役时,地球上的领航员将把它送上一条通往木星大气层的死亡之路。its为形容词性物主代词,修饰名词,故此处应用名词death,表抽象概念,不可数。故填death。

【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。讲述了作者和同学进行学校旅行的经过和感受,他们参观了市科学博物馆,作者学到了很多关于机器人的知识。
【详解】1.考查定语从句。句意:今天,我和我的同学一起参加了一次学校旅行,我认为这很有趣。此处为非限制性定语从句修饰先行词a school trip,先行词在从句中作主语,指物,故用关系代词which引导。故where改为which。
2.考查时态。句意:我们比以前起得早,我们乘公共汽车去那里。根据后文“and we took a bus to go there”可知应用一般过去时。故get改为got。
3.考查代词。句意:路不远,所以我们很快就到了。结合上文可知是作者和同学一起去的,应用代词we。故they改为we。
4.考查形容词。句意:我感到很兴奋,机器人可以帮助做很多家务。此处修饰人应用-ed结尾形容词excited;exciting用于修饰物,表示“令人兴奋的”不符合语境。故exciting改为excited。
5.考查名词。句意:我感到很兴奋,机器人可以帮助做很多家务。housework为不可数名词,没有复数形式。故houseworks改为housework。
6.考查非谓语动词。句意:然后一名工作人员展示了如何制作机器人模型。此处为“疑问词+不定式”作宾语,表示“如何制作”应用how to make。故在how后面加to。
7.考查非谓语动词。句意:我将把拍摄的机器人照片发给我的朋友。分析句子结构可知take在句中应用非谓语动词形式,与逻辑主语photos构成被动关系,故用过去分词作定语。故taking改为taken。
8.考查状语从句。句意:在我们回来之前,我去了礼品店,在那里我和我的家人买了一些礼物。此处为before引导的时间状语从句,“I went to the gift shop where I bought some gifts with my family”为主句,前面不需要连词。故去掉and。
9.考查介词。句意:在我们回来之前,我去了礼品店,在那里我和我的家人买了一些礼物。结合句意表示“为某人买某物”短语为buy sth. for sb.。故with改为for。
10.考查感叹句。句意:我度过了一个多么快乐的学校旅行!感叹名词trip应用what,构成“what+a/an+形容词+可数名词单数+其他!”。故How改为What。
