If you have ever felt sick at the back of a bus or after a boat cruise, then you might have experienced motion sickness. The condition's most common symptoms are dizziness, headaches, sweating and vomiting.
Humans haven't always experienced this reaction. According to Fred Mast, a professor at the University of Bern, motion sickness began to affect us when we created vehicles for getting to places faster. “Our bodies were not prepared for it，” he says, explaining that human made acceleration creates a disturbance between our vestibular system (前庭系统), which is responsible for controlling balance, and our vision. While travelling on a boat or in a car, you may not be watching the movement of the vehicle, but your vestibular system registers it. Since the human brain has not evolved enough yet to resolve that conflict, it leads to motion sickness. Motion sickness can also strike when there is simulated acceleration, such as in some video games or movie scenes in the theatre that make the viewer's brain think it's moving when it's not.
While one in three people experiences motion sickness at some time, certain people are more easily affected. These include: children and young adults (according to a German survey, half of those under the age of 30 report being affected), patients and women.
Sufferers can avoid motion sickness by making changes to how they travel. For instance, sitting facing forward at the front of a bus allows you to see the movement. Sitting in the middle of a boat or next to the wing of an airplane will reduce the amount of movement you feel. Staying away from alcohol and heavy meals ahead of car, boat or plane trips can also be helpful.
【解题导语】 很多人都有过晕车的经历，这是因为前庭系统受到了干扰。乘坐交通工具时，选择合适的位置可以避免晕车。此外，在旅行前不饮酒、不吃太饱对预防晕车也有帮助。
4．What does the underlined word “simulated” in paragraph 2 mean
A．Fake. B．Sudden.
C．Frequent. D．Visible.
A 解析：词义猜测题。根据第二段最后一句可知，在剧院看某些视频游戏或者电影场景时，观看者的大脑会误认为有动作发生，但是事实上并未发生，因此这种“acceleration(加速)”是虚假的，故选A。
5．What is the second paragraph mainly about
A．The symptoms of motion sickness.
B．The cause of motion sickness.
C．The function of the vestibular system.
D．The evolution of humans' brains.
B 解析：段落大意题。通读第二段可知，本段分析了晕车的原因。前庭系统感受到的与视觉看到的不一致，大脑无法处理这种冲突，这时晕车就发生了，B项(晕车的原因)符合段落主旨。故选B。
6．Who is more likely to suffer from motion sickness
A．The old. B．The young.
C．The male. D．The hungry.
B 解析：细节理解题。根据第三段中的“children and young adults(according to a German survey, half of those under the age of 30 report being affected), patients and women”可知，孩子、年轻人、病人和妇女晕车的比例更高，故选B。
7．What can be done to avoid motion sickness while travelling
A．Closing eyes to feel the movement.
B．Sitting close to the bus driver.
C．Filling the stomach before a boat trip.
D．Choosing a middle seat in the airplane.
B 解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“sitting facing forward at the front of a bus allows you to see the movement”可知，坐在公交车前面，面向前方可避免晕车，B项(靠近公交车司机坐)符合题意。故选B。
【难句分析】 “Our bodies were not prepared for it，”he says, explaining that human made acceleration creates a disturbance between our vestibular system(前庭系统), which is responsible for controlling balance, and our vision.
分析：本句为主从复合句。现在分词短语explaining that...在句中作伴随状语，that引导宾语从句。which引导非限制性定语从句，先行词为our vestibular system。
译文：他说，“我们的身体并未准备好，”并解释人为的加速使负责控制平衡的前庭系统与视觉之间产生紊乱。
Ⅱ.完形填空
(2021·河北“五个一”名校联盟高三上学期第一次联考)An English battleship was sailing at sea in the severe weather for several days. The visibility was poor 1 heavy fog, so the captain landed on the watchtower, 2 all the activities.
Shortly, a lookout reported that a light ahead was 3 .The captain asked, “Is it steady or 4 towards our ship？” The lookout replied, “The light was steady, but our 5 was going to be in 6 with that one.” The captain ordered the lookout to send a signal to that ship and told them that the two sides would have the risk of crashing into each other if they didn't 7 course. Back came a signal, “It's 8 for you to change course.” Then the captain shouted angrily, “Send, I'm a battleship. You'll change course.” “Captain, I've never seen you 9 your top before.” the lookout said and did. Back came another signal, “I'm a lighthouse！” The captain was 10 after knowing this, and they had to change their course 11 ．
On our path in life, we sometimes have to change course: 12 ， we would run into the 13 . Some people spend much time trying to change everything around them, not realizing they can 14 it only by changing themselves. They're hitting their head on the barrier but expecting a good result. It's just as stupid as not changing their course when those are about to collide with a lighthouse. So when life puts an unmovable 15 in front of you, stick to the secret: changing course and going on.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章通过讲述一艘英国战舰差点与灯塔相撞的故事，告诉我们一个道理：当生活把一个不可移动的东西摆在你面前时，你要改变的是你自己，所以，改变方向，继续前进。
1．A．in spite of B．in addition to
C．on account of D．on top of
C 解析：考查介词短语辨析。句意：由于大雾，能见度很低，所以船长登上瞭望塔，密切注意着所有的活动。in spite of意为“尽管”，in addition to意为“除了”，on account of意为“由于”，on top of意为“在……之上”。根据“The visibility was poor____ heavy fog”可知，由于大雾，能见度很低。故选C。
2．A．keeping an eye on B．enquiring about
C．engaging in D．turning a deaf ear to
A 解析：考查动词短语辨析。句意同上。keep an eye on意为“密切注意”，enquire about意为“询问”，engage in意为“从事”，turn a deaf ear to意为“充耳不闻”。根据上文语境可知，这艘英国战舰在恶劣的天气下在海上航行了好几天，雾大能见度低，因此船长上了瞭望塔，密切注意着船和船周边的一切活动(以防发生意外)。故选A。
3．A．charging B．falling
C．fading D．flashing
D 解析：考查动词词义辨析。句意：不久，瞭望员报告说前面有一盏灯闪烁着。charge意为“收费”，fall意为“落下”，fade意为“褪色”，flash意为“闪光”。根据下文中的“The light was steady”可知，前方有灯闪烁着。故选D。
4．A．shooting B．moving
C．pointing D．looking
B 解析：考查动词词义辨析。句意：船长问：“它是稳定的还是朝我们的船移动的？”shoot意为“射击”，move意为“移动”，point意为“指出”，look意为“看”。根据下文中的“the two sides would have the risk of crashing into each other”可知，船长问灯是稳定的，还是在向他们的船移动，如果灯是移动的，他们就有相撞的风险。故选B。
5．A．instruction B．method
C．ship D．captain
C 解析：考查名词词义辨析。句意：瞭望员回答说：“灯光是稳定的，但我们的船要与那艘船相撞。”instruction意为“说明书”，method意为“方法”，ship意为“船”，captain意为“船长”。根据下文中的“the two sides would have the risk of crashing into each other if they didn't ____ course”可知，如果双方不重新调整航向的话，他们的船要与那艘船相撞，因此此处是指“我们的船”。故选C。
6．A．trade B．peace
C．collision D．comparison
C 解析：考查名词词义辨析。句意同上。trade意为“贸易”，peace意为“和平”，collision意为“碰撞”，comparison意为“比较”。根据下文中的“the two sides would have the risk of crashing into each other if they didn't ____ course”可知，如果双方不重新调整航向的话，他们的船要与那艘船相撞。故选C。
7．A．affect B．readjust
C．admit D．uncover
B 解析：考查动词词义辨析。句意：船长命令瞭望员向那艘船发出信号，并告诉他们，如果他们不重新调整航向，就有相撞的危险。affect意为“影响”，readjust意为“重新调整”，admit意为“承认”，uncover意为“揭开”。根据下文中的“they had to change their course”可知，船长立即改变航向(避免了相撞)，所以此处指重新调整航向。故选B。
8．A．typical B．early
C．challenging D．advisable
D 解析：考查形容词词义辨析。句意：回来了一个信号，“你们改道才是明智的。”typical意为“典型的”，early意为“早的”，challenging意为“挑战性的”，advisable意为“明智的”。根据全文语境可知，这里回信号的是灯塔，灯塔无法改变航向，为了避免相撞，船长的船改变航向才是明智的。故选D。
9．A．blow B．reach
C．stuff D．show
A 解析：考查动词词义辨析。句意：“船长，我以前从未见过你勃然大怒。” 瞭望员说了又(按船长说的)做了。blow意为“吹”，reach意为“到达”，stuff意为“填满”，show意为“展示”。根据上文中的“Then the captain shouted angrily”可知，船长很生气，此处指瞭望员从未见过船长勃然大怒。blow one's top为固定搭配，意为“勃然大怒”。故选A。
10．A．heartbroken B．innocent
C．relieved D．thunderstruck
D 解析：考查形容词词义辨析。句意：船长知道后大吃一惊，他们不得不立即改变航向。heartbroken意为“心碎的”，innocent意为“天真的”，relieved意为“放心的”，thunderstruck意为“大吃一惊”。根据上文语境可知，船长以为对面的是一艘船，然而实际上对面是一座灯塔，所以船长知道后大吃一惊。故选D。

C．slowly D．merrily
B 解析：考查副词词义辨析。句意同上。temporarily意为“暂时地”，instantly意为“立即地”，slowly意为“慢慢地”，merrily意为“愉快地”。根据上文语境可知，船长以为对面是一艘船，一直叫对面改变航向以避免相撞，然而实际上对面是一座灯塔，因此为了避免相撞，他们不得不立即改变航向。故选B。
12．A．otherwise B．however
C．therefore D．anyway
A 解析：考查副词词义辨析。句意：在我们的人生道路上，我们有时不得不改变方向：否则，我们会遇到砖墙。otherwise意为“否则”，however意为“然而”，therefore意为“因此”，anyway意为“无论如何”。根据上文语境可知，船长的船如果不改变航向就会撞上灯塔，人生路上也是一样，为了避免相撞我们不得不改变方向，否则就会遇见砖墙(撞上去)，前后两句是转折关系，应用otherwise。故选A。
13．A．top secret B．safe path
C．comfort zone D．brick wall
D 解析：考查名词短语辨析。句意同上。top secret意为“绝密”，safe path意为“安全路径”，comfort zone意为“舒适区”，brick wall意为“砖墙”。根据上文语境可知，船长的船如果不改变航向就会撞上灯塔，人生路上也是一样，为了避免相撞我们不得不改变方向，否则就会遇见砖墙(撞上去)。故选D。

C．take D．see
B 解析：考查动词词义辨析。句意：有些人花了很多时间试图改变周围的一切，却没有意识到只有改变自己才能成功。learn意为“学习”，make意为“使成功、使圆满”，take意为“拿走”，see意为“看见”。根据上文语境可知，船长一直叫对面的船改变航向以避免相撞，然而，对面的船实际上是灯塔，最后船长通过自己改变航向避免了相撞，人生路上也是如此，试图改变周围的一切是很难的，只有改变自己才能成功。make it为固定搭配，意为“成功”。故选B。
15．A．opportunity B．target
C．object D．fantasy
C 解析：考查名词词义辨析。句意：所以，当生活把一个不可移动的东西摆在你面前时，坚持这个秘密：改变方向，继续前进。opportunity意为“机会”，target意为“目标”，object意为“东西”，fantasy意为“幻想”。根据上文语境可知，灯塔就是那个不可移动的东西，船长不改变航向，就会撞上去，但最后船长通过自己改变航向避免了相撞，所以在人生旅途中，当生活把一个不可移动的东西摆在你面前时，你要学会自己改变方向，继续前进。故选C。
Ⅲ.语法填空
