TOKYO,Japan — Maki Kaji,69,the creator of the popular numbers puzzle Sudoku whose life's work was spreading the joy of puzzles,has died of cancer.
Known as the "Godfather of Sudoku," Kaji created the puzzle to be easy for children and others who didn't want to think too hard.Its name is made up of the Japanese characters for "number" and "single," and players place the numbers 1 through 9 in rows,columns and blocks without repeating them.
Ridiculously,it wasn't until 2004 that Sudoku became a global hit,after a fan from New Zealand got it published in the British newspaper The Times.Two years later,Japan rediscovered its own puzzle as a "reimport."
Kaji traveled to more than 30 countries spreading his enjoyment of puzzles.Sudoku championships have drawn some 200 million people in 100 countries over the years.Sudoku was also never trademarked(注册)except within Japan,driving its overseas craze.
Born in the main northern island of Hokkaido,Kaji started Japan's first puzzle magazine after dropping out of Keio University in Tokyo.He founded Nikoli in 1983,and came up with the name Sudoku about the same time.In recent years,Sudoku,believed to be the world's most popular pencil puzzle,has come out in digital versions.
"Our mission(使命)is to seek Kaji's wishes and possibilities," said Yoshinao Anpuku,who succeeded Kaji as Nikoli's chief executive(执行官).Major Japanese newspaper Mainichi credited Kaji for starting the puzzle sections at bookstores,as well as introducing the word "Sudoku" into the Oxford English dictionary.
What does the author think is ridiculous? ______
A. Kaji was the Godfather of Sudoku.
B. Kaji set up a puzzle magazine.
C. Sudoku first became popular overseas.
D. Sudoku was spread widely and quickly.
What can we say about Maki Kaji? ______
A. He liked traveling a lot.
B. He failed to enter the university.
C. He was a top player in Sudoku.
D. He was committed to Sudoku spreading.
What can be inferred about Sudoku from the passage? ______
A. It's not for old people. B. It's registered abroad.
C. It was named after Kaji. D. It went all over the world.
What does the last paragraph mainly talk about? ______
A. What Kaji wishes for. B. Why Kaji was great.
C. Who is Kaji's follower. D. How Kaji achieved his goal.

Social media use has been linked to mental health problems in the teenagers.But a new study from England argues that the issue may be more complex than experts think.
The new research interviewed 10,000 teenagers,who reported the frequency they used social media.More than three times daily was considered "very frequent." But the researchers,for the first time,went a step further to investigate what kind of websites the teenagers frequented.They found that,in both sexes,very frequent visits to social media with negative contents was associated with greater mental depression and anxiety.
"Our results suggest social media itself doesn't cause harm,but that frequent use may disrupt(中断)activities that positively influence mental health such as sleeping and exercising,while increasing exposure of young people to harmful contents," said study co-author Russell Viner of the UCL Institute of Child Health.
It's an important discovery.Just last month,research from Canada showed that higher level of social media use was linked with increased mental depression in adolescents.
With this study,the problem is put in a better context.It's not necessarily social media that's causing these issues.It's more likely the contents that young people are exposed to and its hindrance(阻碍)of healthy sleep and exercise.
Bob Patton,a professor of the University of Surrey,said this means that remedies focusing only on reducing social media use to improve mental health might not help. "Finding ways to improve the online contents and promote better sleep and exercise is needed to reduce physical and psychological harms," said he.
"If healthy lifestyles can be kept,the positive effects of social media use,such as encouraging social interactions,can be more supported," said Ann DeSmet,a professor at Ghent University in Belgium.
How does the new research differ from the previous studies? ______
A. By carrying out detailed interviews.
B. By focusing on both girls and boys.
C. By analyzing the social media contents.
D. By studying a larger number of teenagers.
What does Russell Viner say about social media? ______
A. It doesn't cause any mental problems in teenagers.
B. Its abuse may negatively change the healthy lifestyle.
C. Its harmful contents should be reduced immediately.
D. It encourages social interactions among adolescents.
Which of the following best explains "remedies" underlined in paragraph 6? ______
A. Measures. B. Effects. C. Experiments. D. Differences.
What is the author's purpose in writing the text? ______
A. To prove the harmful effects of social media.
B. To show the proper way to use social media.
C. To present related studies and discoveries.
D. To introduce an important new discovery.
D
We've long known that crows(乌鸦)exhibit extraordinary intelligence.These birds have inspired legends for centuries.But the more scientists know about their brain structure and behaviors,the more crows seem to resemble humans.
John Marzluff,a professor from the University of Washington,has been studying crows for decades.He's explored the exceptional size and function of crow brains,their long life and lifestyle. "Big brain,long life and sociality,those are really linked features," Marzluff says. "You put those together,and it should sound pretty familiar."
To top that off,just last fall other researchers determined that crows seem to exhibit a level of consciousness(意识)shown only in humans and very few of our mammal(哺乳动物)relatives.The breakthrough study published in Science showed that crows have an ability to draw on subjective experiences from the past in order to solve a task.This means the birds keep new information,or memories,in the front of their brains for extended periods,and use it in reasoning and dealing with new situations they meet.
That is,for people and crows alike,the forebrain deals with higher tasks,including reasoned decision-making,problem-solving and executive function.Taken together,these findings help explain the problem-solving and tool use in crows.The New Caledonian crow,for example,has recently gained welcome for not only tool use,but its ability to make compound(复合的)tools out of various materials.These birds have been known to make hooks and sharp spears that they use to catch insects in hard-to-reach places.In research labs,they've successfully bent wire to grab baskets with food inside.
"They understand the concept of hooking and pulling and spearing and what tools are needed to do that," Marzluff says.These reasoning skills appear to be significantly more advanced than primitive tool use — such as using rocks to break open shells and other food — that researchers have observed in some other animals.
What does Marzluff mean by saying "it should sound pretty familiar"? ______
A. He knows how to study crows.
B. He was very familiar with crows.
C. The way crows live is related to humans.
D. Crows have features similar to those of humans.
What can we infer about crows according to the passage? ______
A. They can draw pictures. B. They like to eat insects.
C. They use tools creatively. D. They existed for centuries.
What makes Marzluff think crows are more advanced than other animals? ______
A. Crows' special size.
B. Crows' better reasoning skills.
C. Crows' longer life.
D. Crows' way of raising babies.
Which of the following can be the best title for the text? ______
A. Crows,Like No Other B. Legends of Crows
C. Crows,More Humanlike D. Evolution of Crows
二、阅读七选五(本大题共5小题,共10.0分)
This summer,many areas of the US have been suffering historic droughts(干旱).Climate change has brought very high temperatures and less-than-normal rain and snow to the country. (1) .It also means hot weather,which can be hard to take.
(2) .Their civilization once thrived(繁荣)with its amazing architecture of pyramids and cities.One of the cities,Tikal,was built in what is now Guatemala. "It was quite a remarkable place,with temples towering above the top of the rainforest," says Dunning.
Although the region is a tropical rainforest,Tikal was built in a place that got little rain for half the year.Additionally,it had no year round lakes or river — although it did have an important spring.The Maya also did not have a system to reach groundwater. (3) .
"As Tikal grew,people there would have had to cut down parts of the surrounding rainforest to raise food. (4) to meet their needs for wood and other resources," Dunning says.Dunning compares it to today's practice of chopping down much larger parts of the Amazon rainforest to raise cattle for beef.He calls this deed "bad for the health of local environment and the global environment,too." The Maya would have used cut-and-burn techniques and let the forest grow back after a few years.
Although the Maya changed the environment with their farming and other practices,they had much less impact on the climate than we do now.The Maya understood that they have to have balance. (5) .You'll pay a price,or someone will.
A.If you abuse the world,it's going to come back.
B.At the same time,they left enough of it in place.
C.So they built tanks to collect and store rainwater.
D.They would have served different,important purposes.
E.That means there is less water to drink and less water for crops.
F.Tikal was home to tens of thousands of people during the years 600 to 800.
G.Thousands of years ago,the Maya people suffered from the same problems.
A. A B. B C. C D. D E. E F. F G. G

41.【答案】【小题1】further/farther
【小题2】that
【小题3】balanced
【小题4】visually
【小题5】to establish
【小题6】popularity
【小题7】a
【小题8】causes
【小题9】in
【小题10】be caught
【解析】(1)further/farther.考查形容词比较级。句意:说英语的人回顾400年前莎士比亚和弥尔顿的黄金时代时,中国人回顾得更远,1200年前的唐朝是他们的文学黄金时代。结合句意可知表达更远,用far修饰形容词比较级,故填further/farther。
(2)that.考查名词性从句。句意:中国诗歌的一个主要特点是简洁的。系动词is后需要表语从句引导词,从句中不缺成分,用that引导,故填that。
(3)balanced.考查形容词。句意:每个角色都有一个想法,一个印象,一个形象。重点放在节奏的运用上,有时也放在人物的平衡外观上,以便在视觉上看起来令人愉悦。空格处需要形容词作定语修饰名词look,故填balanced。
(4)visually.考查副词。句意:重点放在节奏的运用上,有时也放在人物的平衡外观上,以便在视觉上看起来令人愉悦,空格处需要副词修饰形容词pleasing,故填visually。
(5)to establish.考查不定式。句意:唐朝以后,诗人们努力建立一种不植根于过去辉煌的现代风格。struggle to do sth.是固定搭配,意为"努力做某事",故填to establish。
(6)popularity.考查名词。句意:很多人喜欢这样的流行,因为它比唐朝的更流畅,更不僵化。such修饰名词作宾语,故填popularity。
(7)a.考查不定冠词。句意:许多诗歌包含了中国历史上的特定事件,这使得理解这些诗歌对非中国人来说是一个挑战。结合句意可知表示理解这些诗歌是一个挑战,challenge以辅音音素开头,用不定冠词a,故填a。
(8)causes.考查时态。句意:汉诗英译引发了各种各样的问题。句子陈述事实用一般现在时,主语是动名词,谓语动词用第三人称单数,故填causes。
(9)in.考查介词。句意:多年来,作家们试图用不同的方式来传达诗歌的精神。in diffcrent ways意为"用不同的方式",故填in。
(10)be caught.考查被动语态。句意:虽然在翻译过程中损失了很多,但核心意思是可以捕捉和欣赏的。主语the core meaning和动词catch之间是被动关系,需要用被动语态,在情态动词can后用动词原形即可,故填be caught。
本文是一篇说明文。介绍了中国诗歌的特点、风格和内容。
语法填空考查学生英语综合知识的运用,做题时要首先明确短文大意,从词语搭配,固定句型,语法,时态等方面综合考虑,结合上下文语境找出正确答案。

解析:
(1)holding改为held.考查过去分词。句意:上周三,高三的师生们出席了在我校礼堂举行的以"成长与责任"为主题的成长仪式。分析句子可知,hold与所修饰词ceremony之间是被动关系,应使用过去分词作后置定语。故将holding改为held。
(2)which改为whose.考查定语从句连接词。句意:上周三,高三的师生们出席了在我校礼堂举行的以"成长与责任"为主题的成长仪式。先行词ceremony为物,并且在非限制性定语从句中作定语,应使用whose。故将which改为whose。
(3)an改为a.考查不定冠词。句意:首先,一个代表我们所有人的学生做了一分钟的演讲。one-minute为辅音音素开头,不定冠词应使用a。故将an改为a。
(4)sincerely改为sincere.考查形容词。句意:他向我们的父母和老师表达了我们诚挚的感谢,并谈论了我们的梦想。修饰名词thanks应使用形容词。故将sincerely改为sincere。
(5)ours改为our.考查形容词性物主代词。句意:然后,一些老师和家长向我们表示祝贺,并表达了他们对我们未来的期望。修饰名词future应使用形容词物主代词。故将ours改为our。
(6)class改为classes.考查名词复数。句意:随后,两个班的学生上演了精彩的表演。根据a couple of(两个…)可知,其后跟可数名词复数。故将class改为classes。
(7)over前加is.考查be动词。句意:虽然仪式现在已经结束了,但它让我清楚地意识到我已经长大了。分析句子可知,句子应使用一般现在时,且over不能直接做谓语,需要添加be动词(ceremony之后用is),构成主系表结构。故在over前加is。
(8)grow改为grown.考查过去分词。句意:虽然仪式现在已经结束了,但它让我清楚地意识到我已经长大了。根据空前的have可知,空处应使用过去分词,构成完成时态。故将grow改为grown。
(9)to改为for .考查介词。句意:我现在应该对自己负责。be responsible for为固定搭配,意为"对…负责"。故将to改为for。
(10)ever改为never.考查副词。句意:我永远不会忘记这次经历。ever意为"曾",此处应使用never,表达"永不"之意。故将ever改为never。
【解析】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者学校举行的一次成人礼。在成人礼上学生代表发了言,家长和老师表达对孩子将来的美好期待,孩子们也意识到自己长大了,需要肩负起责任和义务。
