A very dangerous situation happened in California last week. More than 12 wildfires broke out in the state. Most of them began on October 8, in Northern California. They grew rapidly. The fires were made bigger by winds of up to 50 miles per hour and dry air in the area.
At least 20 people have been killed, the state government said. About 200 have been injured. At least 3,500 homes and businesses have been destroyed. About 50,000 people have been required to escape. Many left in a hurry, without time to take their personal things. “All the good stuff(东西)—I’m never going to see it again,” Jeff Okrepkie said. He escaped from his Santa Rosa home. It was destroyed soon after he left.
The fires burned through parts of eight counties(郡，县). These include Sonoma and Napa. The areas are important to California’s economy(经济). They are home to many of the state’s vineyards(葡萄园) and wineries(酿酒厂). In 2016, California’s wineries made more than $57 billion.
October is when wildfires usually produce the most ruins in California. But it is unusual for so many fires to start at once. Up to now, the government has not given a cause for any of the fires, many of which were still burning.
4. Why did the fires grow quickly
A. Most of the fires began in October. B. 12 fires happened at the same time.
C. The state government didn’t do anything. D. High-speed wind and dry air.
5. How many people have to leave their homes
A. 50,000. B. 200. C. 3,500. D. 20.
6. What is the biggest loss for California’ s economy
A. Homes have been destroyed. B. Wineries have been burned.
C. People have to leave their homes. D. Many people have been injured.
7. What is the cause of the fires
A. The high-speed wind and dry air. B. Many fires started at once.
C. October produces the most ruins. D. The cause is not explained.
【答案】4. D 5. A 6. B 7. D
【解析】

【4题详解】
细节理解题。由第一段“They grew rapidly. The fires were made bigger by winds of up to 50 miles per hour and dry air in the area.”可知，由于强风和空气干燥的缘故，火势越来越大。故选D项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。由第二段“About 50,000 people have been required to escape.”可知，有50,000人口需要离开他们的家园。题干中leave their homes在文中体现为动词escape。故选A项。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。由第三段“The fires burned through parts of eight counties(郡，县). These include Sonoma and Napa. The areas are important to California’s economy(经济). They are home to many of the state’s vineyards(葡萄园) and wineries(酿酒厂).”可知，大火烧到了加利福尼亚州葡萄园和酿酒厂的大本营Sonoma和Napa。它们是加利福尼亚州经济的重要组成部分。所以经济损失主要体现在葡萄园、酿酒厂被烧毁。故选B项。

Do you want to live another 100 years or more Some experts say that scientific advances will one day enable humans to last tens of years beyond what is now seen as the natural limit of the human life span.
“I think we are knocking at the door of immortality(永生),” said Michael Zey, a Montclair State University business professor and author of two books on the future. “I think by 2075 we will see it and that’s a conservative estimate(保守的估计).”
At the conference in San Francisco, Donald Louria, a professor at New Jersey Medical School in Newark said advances in using genes as well as nanotechnology(纳米技术) make it likely that humans will live in the future beyond what was possible in the past. “There is a great effort so that people can live from 120 to 180 years,” he said. “Some have suggested that there is no limit and that people could live to 200 or 300 or 500 years.”
However, many scientists who specialize in aging are doubtful about it and say the human body is just not designed to last past about 120 years. Even with healthier lifestyles and less disease, they say failure of the brain and organs will finally lead all humans to death.
Scientists also differ on what kind of life the super aged might live. “It remains to be seen if you pass 120 you know; could you be healthy enough to have good quality of life ” said Leonard Poon, director of the University of Georgia Gerontology Centre. “At present people who could get to that point are not in good health at all.”
8. By saying“we are knocking at the door of immortality”,Michael Zey means_________.
A. they have got some ideas about living forever
B. they believe that there is no limit of living
C. they are able to make people live past the present life span
D. they are sure to find the truth about long living
9. Donald Louria’s attitude towards long living is that________.
A. the human body is designed to last past about 120 years
B. it is possible for humans to live longer in the future
C. it is still doubtful how long humans can live
D. people can live from 120 to 180
10. The underlined word“it”(in Paragraph 4)refers to________.
A. a great effort
B. the conservative estimate
C. the idea of living from 200 to 300 years
D. the idea of living beyond the present life span
11. What would be the best title for this text
A. No Limit for Human Life
B. Living Longer or not
C. Science,Technology and Long Living
D. Healthy Lifestyle and Long Living
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. D 11. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇议论文。人类是否能够获得更长更健康？科学家对此有不同的看法。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段““I think we are knocking at the door of immortality(永生),” said Michael Zey, a Montclair State University business professor and author of two books on the future. “I think by 2075 we will see it and that’s a conservative estimate(保守的估计).” 我认为我们正在敲永生的门,” 蒙特克莱尔州立大学的商业教授迈克尔说， “我认为,到2075年我们将会看到这种现象，这是一个保守的估计。”这里教授表明到2075年就可以实现永生，由此判断出这里的含义是科学家们对如何获得永生有了一些想法。故选A项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“At the conference in San Francisco, Donald Louria, a professor at New Jersey Medical School in Newark said advances in using genes as well as nanotechnology(纳米技术) make it likely that humans will live in the future beyond what was possible in the past.”唐纳德教授说使用基因以及纳米技术的进步表明人类将生活在超越过去可能的未来是很可能的。所以这里教授觉得人类在未来会活的更久是有可能的，故选B项。
【10题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第三段末尾“Some have suggested that there is no limit and that people could live to 200 or 300 or 500 years.”有些科学家表明，人类可以活到200年，300年或者500年都是没有限制的，但是许多专攻衰老方面的科学家对此抱有疑问。所以这里it指代前一段提到的人类可以活到200年或300年，故选D项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。文章第二段““I think we are knocking at the door of immortality(永生),” 教授迈克尔表明到2075年就可以实现永生，第四段“However, many scientists who specialize in aging are doubtful about it and say the human body is just not designed to last past about 120 years.” 然而，许多专门研究衰老问题的科学家对此表示怀疑，他们说，人的身体设计不适合活过大约120年，提出人类永生的质疑，所以整篇文章是围绕着人类是否永生展开。故短文的最佳标题为“人类是否能够获得更长更健康”。故选B项。

When it comes to materials to do good to our body, it must be mentioned that there are all sorts of foods to everyone’s taste. Some foods are known to have a completely ruined effect on your brain function, and nutritionists advise us not to consume them too much in order to limit their negative impacts.
Here are some top foods that kill your intelligence.
1. Sugar
Sugar and sugary products are bad not only for your waistline, but for your brain function as well. Long-term consumption of sugar can create a lot of neurological (神经系统的) problems, and it can also do harm to your memory. On the other hand, sugar can also bring damage to your ability to learn. So avoid the products.

Have you ever noticed that you cannot remember common items’ names This might be influenced by high alcohol intake, which impacts the balance of the brain.
3. Junk Food
A recent study has revealed that junk food can change the chemicals in the brain, thus leading to symptoms associated with depression and anxiety. Besides, foods that are high in fat can also produce some symptoms that are similar to the signs of “miss” when you stop consuming them. These foods affect the production of dopamine (多巴胺), an important chemical that promotes happiness and an overall feeling of well-being.
4. Very Salty Foods
Everybody knows that salty foods affect your blood pressure and they are very hard on your heart. However, as research suggests, foods that contain high amounts of salt can affect your learning function and make your ability to think imperfect.

As a matter of fact, the consumption of salty foods has been shown to have the same effect as taking drugs, as it can cause uncomfortable symptoms and hunger for salty foods.
5. Foods with Processed Protein (蛋白质)
Meat is the richest source of high-quality protein, but avoid overly processed proteins such as hot dogs, sausages and so on. Unlike the natural proteins that help your body protect the nervous system, processed proteins do exactly the opposite.

【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。作者通过老年人年老的时候会出现的身体问题主要是因为他们年轻时候的一些坏习惯造成的为例来告诫现在的年轻人，不能认为自己年轻就可以以毁坏身体为代价去随意地享受。年轻人尤其要多注重健康饮食和身体的锻炼。
【41题详解】
考查介词。句意：年轻不是不关注健康的理由。根据句意和结构可知，这里考查固定短语“pay attention to”关注，注意的意思。故填to。
【42题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：现在，对青少年来说是非常完美的考虑他们未来的身体健康的时候。根据句意和结构可知，这里考查固定句型“It’s time for sb. to do sth.”该到某人做某事的时候了，所以要用动词不定式。故填to think。
【43题详解】
考查连词。句意：和那些活跃的并遵循健康饮食习惯的孩子们相比，那些吃很多垃圾食品和整天看电视的青少年们更有可能有体重和健康的问题。根据句子结构分析，此空要填连词链接限制性定语从句“____3____ eat a lot of junk food and watch TV all day”，先行词“Teenagers”在定语从句中做主语，指代人，故填who / that。
44题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意：和那些活跃的并遵循健康饮食习惯的孩子们相比，那些吃很多垃圾食品和整天看电视的青少年们更有可能有体重和健康的问题。根据句意和句子里面的“than”可知，这里考查形容词的比较级结构。因为“likely”属于前面加more构成比较级形式的词，故填more likely。
【45题详解】
考查副词。句意：经常关心他们的健康的年轻人，老的时候会有相对少的身体问题。此空要用副词修饰动词短语“care about”。故填regularly。
【46题详解】
考查形容词。句意：放学之后躺在沙发上要比去锻炼更有吸引力，但是，从长远来看却有消极的影响。此空处在“is much more”后面，说明要用形容词。故填attractive。
【47题详解】
考查冠词。句意：放学之后躺在沙发上要比去锻炼更有吸引力，但是，从长远来看却有消极的影响。根据句子结构可知，这里考查固定短语“in the long run”从长远来看的意思。故填the。
【48题详解】
考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意：在上学或上班的路上吃快餐要比做一顿健康的饭菜更简单容易。句子主语是动名词短语“Taking fast food on the way to school or works”，所以谓语动词用单数形式，而且，本文说的都是现在的状况，所以用一般现在时。故填is。
【49题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：然而，和健康的饭菜相比，它会影响你的健康。句子主语“it”和“compare”之间是逻辑上的动宾关系，所有要用被动结构。又因为句子已经有谓语“could have”所以，这里要填非谓语动词形式。故填compared。
【50题详解】
考查名词。句意：每周3-5次，每次花15-25分钟去散散步，或者甚至去跳舞。此空前面是超过1的数词，根据句意，所给单词“time”是次数的意思，是可数名词，所以空上的名词要用复数形式。故填times。

5. or→and 6. who→which/that 7. first前面加the 8. usual→ usually
9. said→say 10. wish→wishes
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。主要介绍了中国新年的庆祝活动和习俗。
【详解】1.考查非谓语动词。句意：春节，也被称为中国的新年，是中国的传统节日。分析句子结构可知，本句为主系表结构，The Spring Festival与know之间为被动关系，要使用过去分词作定语，故把knowing改为known。
2.考查形容词。句意：同上。分析句子结构可知，此处要使用形容词作定语修饰名词festivals，故把tradition改为traditional。
3.考查代词。句意：人们用不同的方式庆祝春节。结合句意可知，这里指代的是上文中的Spring Festival“春节”单数用it指代，故them改为it。
4.考查介词。句意：我总是回家和家人一起庆祝节日。celebrate“庆祝”及物动词后可直接加宾语，故去掉介词on。
5.考查连词。句意：在春节前夕，所有的家庭成员将聚在一起，吃一顿丰盛的晚餐。结合句意可知，get together与have a big dinner 之间为并列关系而非选择关系，故把or改为and。
6.考查定语从句。句意：然后，在看春节联欢晚会时，我们会玩游戏，谈论最近发生的事情，直到午夜。分析句子结构可知，此处使用了限制性定语从句，先行词为things指物，在从句中作主语，关系代词要用which/that，故把who改为which/that。
7.考查冠词。句意：在新年的第一天，人们通常穿着新衣服去探亲。短语 on the first day of“在…的第一天”，序数词first前要有定冠词the，故在first前加the。
8.考查副词。句意：同上。分析句子结构可知，此处要使用副词修饰动词wear作状语，故usual改为usually。
9.考查时态。句意：他们说“新年快乐！”这是表达他们对来年最美好祝愿的好方式。结合上文可知，陈述客观事实，使用一般现在时，故said改为say。
10.考查名词。句意：同上。wish“祝福，祝愿”可数名词，结合句意以及“their”可知，要使用复数形式，故wish改为wishes。

A very dangerous situation happened in California last week. More than 12 wildfires broke out in the state. Most of them began on October 8, in Northern California. They grew rapidly. The fires were made bigger by winds of up to 50 miles per hour and dry air in the area.
At least 20 people have been killed, the state government said. About 200 have been injured. At least 3,500 homes and businesses have been destroyed. About 50,000 people have been required to escape. Many left in a hurry, without time to take their personal things. “All the good stuff(东西)—I’m never going to see it again,” Jeff Okrepkie said. He escaped from his Santa Rosa home. It was destroyed soon after he left.
The fires burned through parts of eight counties(郡，县). These include Sonoma and Napa. The areas are important to California’s economy(经济). They are home to many of the state’s vineyards(葡萄园) and wineries(酿酒厂). In 2016, California’s wineries made more than $57 billion.
October is when wildfires usually produce the most ruins in California. But it is unusual for so many fires to start at once. Up to now, the government has not given a cause for any of the fires, many of which were still burning.

Do you want to live another 100 years or more Some experts say that scientific advances will one day enable humans to last tens of years beyond what is now seen as the natural limit of the human life span.
“I think we are knocking at the door of immortality(永生),” said Michael Zey, a Montclair State University business professor and author of two books on the future. “I think by 2075 we will see it and that’s a conservative estimate(保守的估计).”
At the conference in San Francisco, Donald Louria, a professor at New Jersey Medical School in Newark said advances in using genes as well as nanotechnology(纳米技术) make it likely that humans will live in the future beyond what was possible in the past. “There is a great effort so that people can live from 120 to 180 years,” he said. “Some have suggested that there is no limit and that people could live to 200 or 300 or 500 years.”
However, many scientists who specialize in aging are doubtful about it and say the human body is just not designed to last past about 120 years. Even with healthier lifestyles and less disease, they say failure of the brain and organs will finally lead all humans to death.
Scientists also differ on what kind of life the super aged might live. “It remains to be seen if you pass 120, you know; could you be healthy enough to have good quality of life ” said Leonard Poon, director of the University of Georgia Gerontology Centre. “At present people who could get to that point are not in good health at all.”
8. By saying“we are knocking at the door of immortality”,Michael Zey means_________.
A. they have got some ideas about living forever
B. they believe that there is no limit of living
C. they are able to make people live past the present life span
D. they are sure to find the truth about long living
9. Donald Louria’s attitude towards long living is that________.
A. the human body is designed to last past about 120 years
B. it is possible for humans to live longer in the future
C. it is still doubtful how long humans can live
D. people can live from 120 to 180
10. The underlined word“it”(in Paragraph 4)refers to________.
A. a great effort
B. the conservative estimate
C. the idea of living from 200 to 300 years
D. the idea of living beyond the present life span
11. What would be the best title for this text
A. No Limit for Human Life
B. Living Longer or not
C. Science,Technology and Long Living
D. Healthy Lifestyle and Long Living

These foods affect the production of dopamine (多巴胺), an important chemical that promotes happiness and an overall feeling of well-being.
