World records can be set even if you are over 100 years old.
Robert Marchand was born in 1911 in northern France. He enjoys riding a bicycle, and started cycling seriously when he was in his 60s. Marchand is now 105 years old.
On Wednesday, a crowd gathered at the Velodrome National, about 30 kilometers outside of Paris. They were there to see how far he could travel in one hour.
The record for one hour is held by Britain’s Bradley Wiggins, a former Tour de France winner. Wiggins covered 54.5 kilometers in 2015. Evelyn Stevens of the United States holds the women’s record. She went almost 48 kilometers in an hour last year.
In 2012, Marchand set a record for riders over 100 years old when he traveled almost 27 kilometers in an hour. So the question many people asked this week was: "Could he break his own record " Marchand set off on his record attempt as sports lovers cheered and photographers watched. He moved slowly but steadily around the cycling track.
Marchand is relatively small. He is only 1.52 meters tall and weighs 52 kilograms. When the hour ended, he completed 92 times around the track. That is just over 22.5 kilometers.
After the event, Marchand said he could have done better. He did not see his trainers telling him he only had 10 minutes remaining. “I would have gone faster. I would have posted a better time,” he said.
But the news was still good, as he did set a new record for riders 105-years-old or older. “I’m now waiting for a rival (对手),” he said.
4. The main purpose of the first paragraph is to tell readers ________.
A. an unbelievable fact
B. the topic of thetext
C. any person can set a world record
D. setting a world record is not so difficult as people think
5. Which word can best describe the feeling of Marchand just after the event
A. Tired B. Proud
C. Regretful D. Satisfied
6. Which of the following statements is NOT true
A. Bradley Wiggins set the cycling record in 2015
B. Robert Marchand is the record holder of cycling over 100 years old
C. The women’s record of cycling record was set by Evelyn Stevens in 2016
D. Though Marchand didn’t perform as well as before, he still set a record of cycling this year.
7. Which of the following well-known sayings best expresses the message of the text
A. Experience is the best teacher.
B. No pains, no gains.
C. Kill two birds with one stone.
D. Old people may still cherish high aspirations.
【答案】4. B 5. C 6. C 7. D
【解析】
【分析】本文属于新闻报道,作者通过这篇文章主要向我们描述了RobertMarchand虽然年龄已经105岁了,但还是不服年老,不断创造了一个又一个的老年骑自行车纪录。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。文章的第一段,也就是文章的第一句话“World records can be set even if you are over 100 years old(即使你已经超过100岁,也可以创造世界纪录)”显而易见是为了引出本文要讨论的话题,故选B。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段信息“After the event, Marchand said he could have done better. He did not see his trainers telling him he only had 10 minutes remaining. “I would have gone faster. I would have posted a better time,” he said.(活动结束后,马尔尚说他本可以做得更好。他没有看到他的教练告诉他,他只剩下10分钟。 “我本来可以跑得更快。我本可以发布一个更好的时间,”他说。)”可知,当时他的心情应该是有些遗憾,故选C。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的信息“Robert Marchand was born in 1911...Marchang is now 105 years old(罗伯特·马尚出生于1911年......Marchang现在已经105岁了)”可知,该文的写作时间是在2016年;再根据第四段中的信息“EvelynStevens of the United States holds the women's record.She went almost 48 kilometers in an hour last year.(美国的EvelynStevens保持着女子记录。她去年每小时跑了将近48公里。)”可知,女子骑自行车纪录是由美国的EvelynStevens去年(2015)年创造的,而不是2016年,故C项说法与原文内容不符。故选C。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。纵观全文内容,尤其是最后一段的“But the news was still good, as he did set a new record for riders 105-years-old or older.(但这仍然是个好消息,因为他创造了105岁以上车手的新纪录。)”可知,RobertMarchand虽然年龄已经105岁了,但还是不服年老,不断创造了一个又一个的老年骑自行车纪录,由此可知,文章给我们传达的寓意就在 于“老骥伏枥,志在千里”,即Old people may still cherish high aspirations,比喻有志之士年纪虽老而仍有雄心壮志,故正确答案为D项,A项意为“经验是最好的老师,(有经历必受益)”,B项意为“没有付出就没有收获”,C项意为“一石二鸟”,故选D。
C
The Land Under the Sea
Ten thousand years ago, as the last ice age ended, sea levels around the world were far lower than they are today. Much of the land under both the North Sea to the east of Britain and the English Channel which now separates France and Britain was part of a huge region of forests and grassy plains. Then the climate gradually became warmer and the water trapped in large masses of ice was released.
Now the development of advanced sonar (声纳) technology, known as bathymetry, is making it possible to study this flooded landscape in extraordinary detail. A special echo (回声) sounder is fixed to the bottom of a survey ship and it makes wide sweeps across the seabed. While previous technology has only been able to produce two-dimensional images, bathymetry can now use computers, satellite-positioning equipment and special software to create accurate and remarkably detailed maps. For the first time, an ancient riverbed jumps out of the three-dimensional image. The site of pre-historic settlements can now be pinpointed.
According to expert Linda Andrews, this technological development is of huge significance. “We now have the ability to map the seabed as accurately as we can map dry land,” she says.
Once bathymetric techniques have identified sites where people might have built their homes and villages, divers can be sent down to investigate further. Robot submarines (潜艇) can also be used, and researchers hope they will find stone tools and wood from houses as proof of human activity. The idea shared by many people in Britain of their country as a natural island kingdom will be challenged by the findings: Britain has been inhabited for about 500,000 years and much of this time it has been linked on and off to continental Europe. It remains to be seen how far this new awareness is taken on board, however.
In fact, the use of bathymetry will not be limited to the study of lost landscapes and ancient settlements. It will also be vital in finding ships that have been destroyed in accidents. In addition, commercial applications are a real possibility. Aggregates (骨材) for the construction industry are becoming increasingly expensive, and bathymetry can be used to identify suitable sites for digging for this material. Mapping the seabed will also identify places where rare plants and shellfish are living. Digging at such sites should be prevented, either to work for a profit or to make deeper waterways for massive container ships.
8. How does bathymetry work
A. It has an echo sounder placed on the seabed.
B. It makes use of a number of different devices.
C. It produces two-dimensional images of the sea floor.
D. It bases its calculations on the location of construction sites.
9. What does the underlined word “pinpointed” in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Occupied. B. Adjusted.
C. Rebuilt. D. Discovered.
10. The author believes a better understanding of the settlements on the seabed may ________.
A. attract investment in the research under the sea
B. inspire people to take an interest in modern technology
C. adapt the attitudes of the British to their country’s history
D. receive confirmation of rebuilding ancient man-made objects
11. We can learn that the use of bathymetry will help to ________.
A. identify new species of plants and animals
B. provide the precise location of sunken ships
C. evaluate the cost of seeking certain resources
D. promote the development of deeper waterways
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. C 11. B
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。文章对先进的声纳技术,也就是水深测量技术的发展和用途进行了详细介绍。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段第三句“While previous technology has only been able to produce two-dimensional images, bathymetry can now use computers, satellite-positioning equipment and special software to create accurate and remarkably detailed maps.”(虽然以前的技术只能生成二维图像,但水深测量技术现在可以使用计算机、卫星定位设备和特殊软件来绘制精确而详细的地图。)可知,水深测量技术使用了许多不同的设备来工作。故选B。
【9题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第二段倒第二句“For the first time, an ancient riverbed jumps out of the three-dimensional image.”(第一次,一个古老的河床从三维图像中跳出来。)可知,史前定居点现在能够被发现了。所以pinpoint的意思是“发现”,与discover同义。故选D。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段第三句“The idea shared by many people in Britain of their country as a natural island kingdom will be challenged by the findings”(许多英国人认为他们的国家是一个天然岛屿王国的想法将受到调查结果的挑战)可知,作者相信,对海底定居点的更好理解可能会改变英国人对本国历史的态度。故选C。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段第二句“It will also be vital in finding ships that have been destroyed in accidents. ”(它对于寻找在事故中被摧毁的船只也至关重要。)可知,使用水深测量将有助于提供沉船的精确位置。故选B。
D
As the saying goes, “An apple a day keeps the doctor away.” That’s because this healthy food choice is supposed to be full of nutrients. The apple at the supermarket, though, might be so old that it has lost many of its nutrients. But soon there might be a way to check the quality of fruit by scanning it.
Scientists at Food+Future coLAB have come up with the idea of a handheld spectrometer (分光仪) that scans food. The machine will work by shining infrared (红外线的) light on a piece of produce. By measuring how chemicals in the fruit or vegetable take in the light, the scanner can recognize the food’s chemical makeup.
“The machine can tell you exactly how old an apple is, how many calories it contains, what nutrients are present inside it, and even small differences in taste,” Greg Shewmaker of Food+Future coLAB recently said.
For the new machine to be useful to consumers, researchers first need to create a database that contains possible chemicals for a particular type of fruit, like an apple, for example. Scientists will need to scan lots of pieces of produce(农产品)to collect this data. The information collected will allow the scanners to tell customers the quality of fruit.
Once consumers know what’s inside an apple, they can decide if they want to buy it.
Knowing fruit quality may also affect how a store prices produce. “We can price produce based on the nutritional value,” Shewmaker explained. Food+Future coLAB has already created a working model of its machine. It says you may see one in your local supermarket within the next few years. Then deciding whether you’ve picked the healthiest fruit will be just a quick scan.
12. What do we know about the spectrometer
A. It is powered by infrared light.
B. It is not useful in many customers’ eyes.
C. It can help customers decide which fruit to buy.
D. It can improve the quality of fruit and vegetables.
13. What is the basic need for the new machine
A. information about the chemicals in fruit
B. a database about the types of fruit
C. possible chemicals about the fruit
D. a large number of products
14. According to Shewmaker, what’s a spectrometer’s influence on a store
A. It makes a store more attractive.
B. It enriches customers’ knowledge about food nutrition.
C. It creates a database about the chemical makeup of fruit.
D. It provides price reference for produce.
15. What would be the best title for this text
A. The Fruit Scanner B. The Priced Fruit
C. How to Scan Fruits D. How to Pick Fruits
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. D 15. A
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一个新产品——水果扫描仪,它能识别水果的化学成分,帮助顾客决定买哪种水果。
【详解】1.推理判断题。根据第二段“By measuring how chemicals in the fruit or vegetable take in the light, the scanner can recognize the food’s chemical makeup.”(通过测量水果或蔬菜中的化学物质在光线中的吸收情况,扫描仪可以识别食物的化学成分。)和第三段“The machine can tell you exactly how old an apple is, how many calories it contains, what nutrients are present inside it, and even small differences in taste,”(这台机器可以准确地告诉你一个苹果的年龄,它含有多少卡路里,里面有什么营养成分,甚至味道上的细微差别,)以及第五段“Once consumers know what’s inside an apple, they can decide if they want to buy it.”(一旦消费者知道了苹果里面是什么,他们就可以决定是否购买。)可以推断出,分光仪能识别食物的化学成分,可以帮助顾客决定买哪种水果,故选C。
2.细节理解题。根据第四段“For the new machine to be useful to consumers, researchers first need to create a database that contains possible chemicals for a particular type of fruit, like an apple, for example.”(为了让这台新机器对消费者有用,研究人员首先需要建立一个数据库,包含某种水果可能的化学物质,比如苹果。)可知,这台新机器的基本的需求就是需要获取水果中化学物质的信息。故选A。
3.推理判断题。根据最后一段“Knowing fruit quality may also affect how a store prices produce. “We can price produce based on the nutritional value,” Shewmaker explained. ”(了解水果的质量也会影响商品的价格。Shewmaker解释道,“我们可以根据产品的营养价值来定价”。)可知,分光仪能帮助人们了解水果的质量,进而会使人们根据水果的营养价值来定价,所以根据Shewmaker的话,可以推断出,分光仪对商店的的影响是,它能为农产品提供价格参考,故选D。
4.主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Food+Future coLAB has already created a working model of its machine. It says you may see one in your local supermarket within the next few years. Then deciding whether you’ve picked the healthiest fruit will be just a quick scan.”(Food+Future coLAB已经为它的机器创建了一个工作模型。它说,在未来几年内,你可能会在当地的超市看到这样的机器。然后看看你是否摘下了最健康的水果只需要你快速扫描一下就可以。)可知,本文主要介绍了一个新产品——水果扫描仪。所以文章最好的标题是A“The Fruit Scanner”(水果扫描仪),故选A。

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,选项中有两项为多余选项。
The effects of working while attending school or college
Youths working while in school or college seems like a tradition in many countries and the trend is growing. A recent study has found that 80% of students in some countries have at least a part time job during their study years.
Why do students look for employment _____16_____ Education costs are high, and college tuitions have grown considerably during the last few years. Moreover, parents also contribute less toward covering the education costs of their children, which means students must earn their own money while studying.
Having a job during school or college years affects the students’ personal and academic lives. First of all, employed students have less free time and, as a result, they can’t be around their family or friends as often as they would want. They lack sleep and are more stressed, and they may even develop health problems. Furthermore, student employment also impacts academic performance. A new research shows that students working more than 20 hours a week have lower grades than those who work less or not at all. ___17___
However, the benefits of student employment are also notable. It seems that employed students tend to be more engaged in academic activities than those who do not work, probably because they have developed a higher sense of responsibility.
___18___ Firstly, fresh graduates who already have work experience gained during their study years have better chances of landing a job. Employers usually prefer to hire a graduate with workplace experience, because they needn’t spend too much time and resources to train the new employee. Secondly, studies show that working learners are more likely to move into a managerial position soon after graduating. _____19_____ As they try different jobs during their school years, they are more aware of their job preferences and target field, and thus far less confused than fresh graduates who have never worked.
To sum up, because of financial difficulties, many youths look for employment while attending school or college, and this can have positive or negative effects on their lives.
___20___ In this way, employed students can gain noteworthy advantages in terms of career path after they graduate.
A The main cause is financial pressure.
B. Student employment has an effect on future careers as well.
C. The government has increased funding for higher education.
D. They state that the job limits the number of classes they can take.
E. Employed students know what type of work field would be best fit for them.
F. Finally, employed students develop a better appreciation of the career path to pursue.
G. So guidance should be given to help them keep a proper balance between study and work.

【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇记叙文,主要讲的是孟浩在新学期的第一天遇到了和自己名字一样的老师。
【41题详解】
考查连词。句意:在新学期开始之前,他已经在脑海中多次想象过高中生活。had pictured是过去完成时,因此句子表示“在新学期开始之前,他已经在脑海中多次想象过高中生活”,因此空格处表示“在……之前”,是before,故填before。
【42题详解】
考查现在分词。句意:第一天,他比平时起得早,急切地向新学校冲去。分析可知,句中谓语是rushed,空格处用非谓语形式,he和wake之间是主谓关系,因此空格处用现在分词表主动,作状语,故填waking。
【43题详解】
考查名词。句意:第一天,他比平时起得早,急切地向新学校冲去。his后跟名词,eager的名词是eagerness,意为“渴望”,故填eagerness。
【44题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意:在学校里,孟浩正在看布告栏,这时一个老人走过来和他说话。由when an old man approached and talked to him可知,空格处表示过去某个时间正在进行的动作,因此用过去进行时,即was/were doing,主语Meng Hao是单数,因此空格处是was looking,故填was looking。
【45题详解】
考查副词。句意:令人惊讶的是,这位老人后来成了他的英语老师。空格处用副词修饰整个句子,surprise的副词是surprisingly,意为“令人惊讶的是”,故填Surprisingly。
【46题详解】
考查反身代词。句意:在第一堂英语课上,老师让他们向全班同学作自我介绍。根据语境可知,老师叫他们介绍他们自己,因此空格处是反身代词themselves,意为“他们自己”,故填themselves。
【47题详解】
考查固定短语和不定式。句意:但是孟浩太紧张了,没有注意到这一点。too...to do是固定短语,意为“太……而不能做某事”,因此空格处是不定式to notice,故填to notice。
【48题详解】
考查定冠词和固定短语。句意:当他开始介绍自己的名字时,大家都笑了,因为他和老师的名字一样。the same...with...是固定短语,意为“和……一样的……”,因此空格处是定冠词the,故填the。
【49题详解】
考查形容词。句意:孟老师告诉他们这并不容易,并鼓励他们在各种挑战面前保持冷静。空格处用形容词修饰名词challenges,vary的形容词是various,意为“各种各样的”,故填various。
【50题详解】
考查固定短语和介词。句意:虽然孟浩感到尴尬,但他对自己的未来更有信心。have confidence in是固定短语,意为“对……有信心”,因此空格处是介词in,故填in。
第四部分 写作 (共两节 满分35分)
第一节 短文改错(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)
51. 假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文,请你修改同桌写的以下作文。文中共有10处语言错误,每句中最多有两处。每处错误仅涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。
增加:在缺词处加一个漏字符号(∧),并在其下面写出该加的词。
删除:把多余的词用斜线(\)划掉。
修改:在错的词下划一横线,并在该词下面写出修改后的词。
注意:1. 每处错误及其修改均仅限一词;
2. 只允许修改10处,多者(从第11处起)不计分。
Mr. and Mrs. Zhang all work in our school. They live far from the school, and it takes them about a hour and a half to go to work every day. In their spare time, they are interesting in planting vegetables in their garden, that is on the rooftop of their house. They often get up earlier and water the vegetables together. They have also bought for some gardening tools. Beside, they often get some useful informations from the internet. When summer came, they will invite their students pick the vegetables.
【答案】1. all改为both
2. a改为an或one
3. interesting改为interested
4. that改为which
5. earlier改为early
6将for去掉
7. beside改为besides
8. informations改为information
9. came改为comes
10. pick前加to
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲了张先生和张太太的日常工作和生活。
【详解】1. 考查both和all的用法,both的主语是两个,而all的主语是三个或者三个以上。根据语境,此处指张先生和张太太。故将all改为both。
2. 考查冠词。因为hour是一元音音素开头卡头的词,此处指“一小时”元音,所以应用an或one。故将a改为an或者one。
3. 考查形容词。interested“感兴趣的”,一般修饰人的感情,而interesting“有趣的”,一般修饰物,由于此句的主语是人,应使用ed形式形容词。故将interesting改为interested。
4. 考查非限制性定语从句。此处是非限制性定语从句,先行词是their garden,指物,关系词在从句中做主语,应用关系词代词which引导。故将that改为which。
5. 考查副词。earlier形容词比较级,修饰动词get up,应使用副词,此处没有对比,应使用副词原级。故将earlier改为early。
6. 考查动词。bought是及物动词,后无需跟介词。故将for去掉。
7. 考查副词。beside是介词,“在……旁边”,而这里需要一个副词,besides“此外”。故将beside改为besides。
8. 考查名词。information是不可数名词。故将informations改为information。
9. 考查时态。此处是时间状语从句的谓语动词,主句是一般将来时,从句应使用一般现在时表将来。故将came改为comes。
10. 考查非谓语动词。此处是词组invite sb. to do sth.“邀请某人做某事”。故pick前加to。
【点睛】高考短文改错考点层次一般而言可依次分为词法的测试、句法的测试和语篇的测试三个层面。考点层次越高,就越能测试出考生运用语言的能力。低层次的考点往往侧重于语法方面的考查,而高层次的考点往往侧重于考生对文章意义方面的理解。
一、词法改错
词法的测试包括:定冠词和不定冠词的用法;名词的单复数和名词的所有格;动词的时态、语态、语气,情态动词和非谓语动词等;人称代词、人称代词的格、物主代词、指示代词、连接代词、不定代词等的用法;介词的搭配;并列连词、从属连词的用法;形容词、副词的区别以及比较级和最高级的用法;固定搭配和习惯用法。
例如:本题中的8.informations改为information。考查名词单复数。
二、句法改错
句法的测试包括:主谓语在数上的一致性;名词性从句、定语从句和强调句;句子结构的连贯性、完整性、对等性和逻辑性。
例如:4.that改为which。考查非限制性定语从句。
三、语篇改错
语篇的测试包括:上下文的时态是否一致;上下文中的代词指代是否一致;上下文中的逻辑关系是否一致。例如:9.came改为comes。考查时态。

【答案】Dear Jim,
I am sorry to know you are troubled by cellphone overuse. As a heavy cellphone user myself, I totally understand the stress and frustration you are feeling.
Fortunately, we can do a few things about it. For instance, we can set certain hours of the day as “cellphone time” and only pick up the phone during those hours. By doing so, we can reduce our screen time. We may also participate in group activities where we meet people face to face and thus don’t need to rely on the phone all the time to contact others.
I hope my suggestions can help and I'm sure you will get through this. Let me know if I can help in any way.

World records can be set even if you are over 100 years old.
Robert Marchand was born in 1911 in northern France. He enjoys riding a bicycle, and started cycling seriously when he was in his 60s. Marchand is now 105 years old.
On Wednesday, a crowd gathered at the Velodrome National, about 30 kilometers outside of Paris. They were there to see how far he could travel in one hour.
The record for one hour is held by Britain’s Bradley Wiggins, a former Tour de France winner. Wiggins covered 54.5 kilometers in 2015. Evelyn Stevens of the United States holds the women’s record. She went almost 48 kilometers in an hour last year.
In 2012, Marchand set a record for riders over 100 years old when he traveled almost 27 kilometers in an hour. So the question many people asked this week was: "Could he break his own record " Marchand set off on his record attempt as sports lovers cheered and photographers watched. He moved slowly but steadily around the cycling track.
Marchand is relatively small. He is only 1.52 meters tall and weighs 52 kilograms. When the hour ended, he completed 92 times around the track. That is just over 22.5 kilometers.
After the event, Marchand said he could have done better. He did not see his trainers telling him he only had 10 minutes remaining. “I would have gone faster. I would have posted a better time,” he said.
But the news was still good, as he did set a new record for riders 105-years-old or older. “I’m now waiting for a rival (对手),” he said.
4. The main purpose of the first paragraph is to tell readers ________.
A. an unbelievable fact
B. the topic of thetext
C. any person can set a world record
D. setting a world record is not so difficult as people think
5. Which word can best describe the feeling of Marchand just after the event
A. Tired B. Proud
C. Regretful D. Satisfied
6. Which of the following statements is NOT true
A. Bradley Wiggins set the cycling record in 2015
B. Robert Marchand is the record holder of cycling over 100 years old
C. The women’s record of cycling record was set by Evelyn Stevens in 2016
D. Though Marchand didn’t perform as well as before, he still set a record of cycling this year.
7. Which of the following well-known sayings best expresses the message of the text
A. Experience is the best teacher.
B. No pains, no gains.
C. Kill two birds with one stone.
D. Old people may still cherish high aspirations.
C
The Land Under the Sea
Ten thousand years ago, as the last ice age ended, sea levels around the world were far lower than they are today. Much of the land under both the North Sea to the east of Britain and the English Channel which now separates France and Britain was part of a huge region of forests and grassy plains. Then the climate gradually became warmer and the water trapped in large masses of ice was released.
Now the development of advanced sonar (声纳) technology, known as bathymetry, is making it possible to study this flooded landscape in extraordinary detail. A special echo (回声) sounder is fixed to the bottom of a survey ship and it makes wide sweeps across the seabed. While previous technology has only been able to produce two-dimensional images, bathymetry can now use computers, satellite-positioning equipment and special software to create accurate and remarkably detailed maps. For the first time, an ancient riverbed jumps out of the three-dimensional image. The site of pre-historic settlements can now be pinpointed.
According to expert Linda Andrews, this technological development is of huge significance. “We now have the ability to map the seabed as accurately as we can map dry land,” she says.
Once bathymetric techniques have identified sites where people might have built their homes and villages, divers can be sent down to investigate further. Robot submarines (潜艇) can also be used, and researchers hope they will find stone tools and wood from houses as proof of human activity. The idea shared by many people in Britain of their country as a natural island kingdom will be challenged by the findings: Britain has been inhabited for about 500,000 years and much of this time it has been linked on and off to continental Europe. It remains to be seen how far this new awareness is taken on board, however.
In fact, the use of bathymetry will not be limited to the study of lost landscapes and ancient settlements. It will also be vital in finding ships that have been destroyed in accidents. In addition, commercial applications are a real possibility. Aggregates (骨材) for the construction industry are becoming increasingly expensive, and bathymetry can be used to identify suitable sites for digging for this material. Mapping the seabed will also identify places where rare plants and shellfish are living. Digging at such sites should be prevented, either to work for a profit or to make deeper waterways for massive container ships.
8. How does bathymetry work
A. It has an echo sounder placed on the seabed.
B. It makes use of a number of different devices.
C. It produces two-dimensional images of the sea floor.
D. It bases its calculations on the location of construction sites.
9. What does the underlined word “pinpointed” in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Occupied. B. Adjusted.
C. Rebuilt. D. Discovered.
10. The author believes a better understanding of the settlements on the seabed may ________.
A. attract investment in the research under the sea
B. inspire people to take an interest in modern technology
C. adapt the attitudes of the British to their country’s history
D. receive confirmation of rebuilding ancient man-made objects
11. We can learn that the use of bathymetry will help to ________.
A. identify new species of plants and animals
B. provide the precise location of sunken ships
C. evaluate the cost of seeking certain resources
D. promote the development of deeper waterways
D
As the saying goes “An apple a day keeps the doctor away.” That’s because this healthy food choice is supposed to be full of nutrients. The apple at the supermarket, though, might be so old that it has lost many of its nutrients. But soon there might be a way to check the quality of fruit by scanning it.
Scientists at Food+Future coLAB have come up with the idea of a handheld spectrometer (分光仪) that scans food. The machine will work by shining infrared (红外线的) light on a piece of produce. By measuring how chemicals in the fruit or vegetable take in the light, the scanner can recognize the food’s chemical makeup.
“The machine can tell you exactly how old an apple is, how many calories it contains, what nutrients are present inside it, and even small differences in taste,” Greg Shewmaker of Food+Future coLAB recently said.
For the new machine to be useful to consumers, researchers first need to create a database that contains possible chemicals for a particular type of fruit, like an apple, for example. Scientists will need to scan lots of pieces of produce(农产品)to collect this data. The information collected will allow the scanners to tell customers the quality of fruit.
Once consumers know what’s inside an apple they can decide if they want to buy it.
Knowing fruit quality may also affect how a store prices produce. “We can price produce based on the nutritional value,” Shewmaker explained. Food+Future coLAB has already created a working model of its machine. It says you may see one in your local supermarket within the next few years. Then deciding whether you’ve picked the healthiest fruit will be just a quick scan.
12. What do we know about the spectrometer
A. It is powered by infrared light.
B. It is not useful in many customers’ eyes.
C. It can help customers decide which fruit to buy.
D. It can improve the quality of fruit and vegetables.
13. What is the basic need for the new machine
A. information about the chemicals in fruit
B a database about the types of fruit
C. possible chemicals about the fruit
D. a large number of products
14. According to Shewmaker, what’s a spectrometer’s influence on a store
A. It makes a store more attractive.
B. It enriches customers’ knowledge about food nutrition.
C. It creates a database about the chemical makeup of fruit.
D. It provides price reference for produce.
15. What would be the best title for this text
A. The Fruit Scanner B. The Priced Fruit
C. How to Scan Fruits D. How to Pick Fruits

The effects of working while attending school or college
Youths working while in school or college seems like a tradition in many countries and the trend is growing. A recent study has found that 80% of students in some countries have at least a part time job during their study years.
Why do students look for employment _____16_____ Education costs are high, and college tuitions have grown considerably during the last few years. Moreover, parents also contribute less toward covering the education costs of their children, which means students must earn their own money while studying.
Having a job during school or college years affects the students’ personal and academic lives. First of all, employed students have less free time and, as a result, they can’t be around their family or friends as often as they would want. They lack sleep and are more stressed, and they may even develop health problems. Furthermore, student employment also impacts academic performance. A new research shows that students working more than 20 hours a week have lower grades than those who work less or not at all. ___17___
However, the benefits of student employment are also notable. It seems that employed students tend to be more engaged in academic activities than those who do not work, probably because they have developed a higher sense of responsibility.
___18___ Firstly, fresh graduates who already have work experience gained during their study years have better chances of landing a job. Employers usually prefer to hire a graduate with workplace experience, because they needn’t spend too much time and resources to train the new employee. Secondly, studies show that working learners are more likely to move into a managerial position soon after graduating. _____19_____ As they try different jobs during their school years, they are more aware of their job preferences and target field, and thus far less confused than fresh graduates who have never worked.
To sum up, because of financial difficulties, many youths look for employment while attending school or college, and this can have positive or negative effects on their lives.
___20___ In this way, employed students can gain noteworthy advantages in terms of career path after they graduate.
A. The main cause is financial pressure.
B. Student employment has an effect on future careers as well.
C. The government has increased funding for higher education.
D. They state that the job limits the number of classes they can take.
E. Employed students know what type of work field would be best fit for them.
F. Finally, employed students develop a better appreciation of the career path to pursue.
G. So guidance should be given to help them keep a proper balance between study and work.
