Every four years, the Winter Olympics surprise us with many new incredible athletes. Here’s a look at the biggest stars from the Beijing Games.
Eileen Gu, China, freestyle skiing
Gu, 18, was undoubtedly one of the biggest stars throughout the Olympics. One of just two athletes to compete in all three freestyle skiing events, Gu brought home a gold in big air and halfpipe and a silver in slopestyle. That made her the first freeski athlete to win three medals in a single Games. She also became the youngest gold medalist in freestyle skiing and was the first woman to land a left-turn 1620.
Nils van der Poel, Sweden, speed skating
The 25-year-old Swede set two Olympic records and one world record. Van der Poel won the men’s 5, 000m and 10, 000m speed skating events, and then subsequently （随后）published a 62-page guide on how to win the events. Van der Poel nearly quit speed skating after a disappointing 2018 Olympics. He joined the Swedish army for a basic ranger course before returning to the ice in 2019. Now, he's a two-time Olympic gold medalist.
Chloe Kim, USA, snowboarding
The 21-year-old Californian won her second straight Olympic gold in the women's halfpipe, becoming the first woman to win the event in back-to-back Games.
“I worked so hard for four years to get back here and do this again, ” Kim said after the event.
The American star is now a two-time gold medalist, and at her age, she could continue for years to come if she wants to.
Nathan Chen, USA, figure skating
Chen helped the US win bronze in the team event in 2018 before an event better run in Beijing. Team USA claimed silver in the team event, and the 22-yearold Chen won gold in the men’s singles competition.

In February, Dr. Robert Lefkowitz published a memoir (回忆录) called A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Stockholm: The Adrenaline-Fueled Adventures of an Accidental Scientist. As a physician and biochemist, Lefkowitz is a professor of biochemistry and chemistry at the Duke University Medical Center in Durham, North Carolina.
In a recent conversation via video, Lefkowitz said that he wanted his memoir to be “funny, interesting, and easy to understand”. In the book, Lefkowitz humorously describes his Journey from a cardiologist (or a heart doctor) to a biochemist.
Lefkowitz’s dream of becoming a doctor began when he was eight years old and growing up in the Bronx of New York City. After his father died of a heart attack, Lefkowitz made up his mind to be a cardiologist. He earned his medical degree at Columbia University.
Lefkowitz is no stranger to conducting experiments and making discoveries. He was awarded the 2012 Nobel Prize for Chemistry with Brian Kobilka. The two scientists were honored for their discoveries that could help unlock the secrets of many diseases.
When asked what played the most important role in his success Lefkowitz mentioned about himself and he described himself as “reasonably intelligent and creative, hardworking, and not easily disturbed”. He added that being funny could also be very good for you and the people around you.
Before winning the Nobel Prize, Lefkowitz did countless experiments, and only 1 out of 50 turned out OK. “With difficult decisions I’ve had to make, I tend to make them with my heart rather than my head.” Lefkowitz said. “However, I don’t mean that deciding with your heart is always right.”
At age 78, the scientist has no plans for slowing down. “My body and mind are still working,” he said. “I want to continue running my lab at Duke University and writing and publishing research papers.”
4. What directly motivated Lefkowitz to be a doctor
A. His conversation with a cardiologist. B. His father’s death from a heart attack.
C. His enthusiasm for a doctor’s memoir. D. His poor physical health in childhood.
5. What is the key to Lefkowitz’s success in his own opinion

C. He considered them less challenging. D. He couldn’t do them on his own.

C. You are never too old to work. D. Experience is the best teacher.

A team from the University of Tokyo just published a new study that says that writing on paper is actually the best for your mind. “Paper is more advanced and useful compared to electronic records because paper contains more one-of-a-kind information for stronger memory recall,” said Professor Kuniyoshi L. Sakai, a neuroscientist at the University of Tokyo and author in the study.
Most people like smartphones or tablets because they seem to make everyday tasks easier, but after gathering 48 volunteers between the ages of 18 and 29 for the study, the researchers found that those who wrote on paper to finish note-taking tasks completed these 25 percent faster than people who used smartphones or tablets. What is the reason The team said that using paper gave the volunteers more of a chance to write in their own form, while digital devices (数字设备) are more consistent (始终如一的).
The researchers divided the volunteers, including college students and office staff, into three groups depending on their memory, preferences for using paper or digital tools, sex and age. Then each volunteer read a conversation that highlighted characters explaining their plans, which mentioned what they wanted to do in two months, their 14 different class times, the deadlines for the characters' homework, and any other things. After using their paper or a device to take notes about this conversation, the volunteers were given an hour break and at ask to keep them from thinking directly about the study. They were then asked a number of questions like “What are the deadlines for the characters’ homework ”
Those who used paper for notetaking took only 11 minutes to jot down their thoughts during the study, while people who used tablets took 14 minutes; smartphone users spent the most time on the task, taking 16 minutes to write down their thoughts. As for the accuracy of the answers, those writing on paper seemed to stand out. This suggested that writing on paper benefited their memory.
8. Why did the volunteers writing on paper finish note-taking tasks faster
A Their tasks were less difficult.
B. They took notes without any stops.
C. Their writing styles were consistent.
D. They could write in their unique ways.
9. What were the volunteers required to do in the study
A. Make up some conversations.
B. Raise questions for each other.
C. Take notes about a conversation.
D. Discuss notes with group members.
10. Why were the volunteers asked to answer questions after a break
A. To test their memory. B. To ensure the accuracy.
C. To keep them energetic. D. To remove their thoughts.
11. What does the underlined phrase “jot down” in the last paragraph probably mean
A. Leave out. B. Write down. C. Break down. D. Concentrate on.
D
Humans are not the only ones adapting to (适应) the effects of global climate change. Animals are also adapting to the environmental changes—some warm-blooded animals are beginning to “shapeshift (变身)” in response to shifts in climate, according to a recent study carried out by a team of researchers. The leader of the team is Sara Ryding, a researcher at Deakin University in Australia.
In the study, researchers have found new evidence that supports the theory that some warm-blooded animals are experiencing changes to their bodies due to the rising temperatures, resulting in larger legs, ears and beaks (喙) in some cases. The researchers have noted that warm-blooded animals living in colder climates have smaller legs, ears and beaks than animals of the same species living in warmer climates.
“When climate change is discussed in mainstream media, people are asking ‘Can humans overcome this ’ or ‘What technology can solve this ’” Ryding says.
She says that just like humans, animals also have to adapt to climate change, as shapeshifting for some of the warm-blooded animals is occurring over a far shorter time period.
“The climate change that we have created is putting much pressure on them, and while some species will adapt, others will not,” Ryding says.
Researchers have found body change in birds in Australia and North America. Certain species of Australian parrots have shown about 4%~10% increase in the size of their beaks since 1871, the reason for which is rising temperatures. In North America, the dark-eyed junco (灯芯草雀) also has seen an increase in beak size.
“Larger beaks help birds dissipate (驱散) extra body heat more effectively, which is useful as global temperatures rise. However, shapeshifting does not mean that animals are able to deal with climate change easily and that all is ‘fine’,” Ryding says. “It just means that they are struggling to adjust themselves to surviving it.”
12. What happens to some warm-blooded animals in warmer climates
A. Some parts of their bodies are missing.
B. Their bodies become colder and colder.
C. Their bodies change into smaller ones.
D. Some of their body parts become larger.
13. Why are two types of animals mentioned in paragraph 6
A. To warn about the decrease of animal species.
B. To speak highly of animals’ ability to survive.
C. To explain why animals change the body shape.
D. To show the evidence of animals’ shapeshifting.
14. What do Sara Ryding’s words in the last paragraph suggest
A. Climate change does little harm to bird species.
B. Climate change is still a big challenge for birds.
C. Birds can easily deal with global climate change.
D. Birds fail to adjust themselves to climate change.
15. What is the best title for the text
A. All Animals Have to Adapt to Global Climate Change
B. Rising Temperatures Are Destroying Animals’ Bodies
C. Climate Change Is Making Some Animals Shapeshift
D. Warm-blooded Animals Inform Us of Global Warming

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When I was a boy, I had the craziest bus ride to school everyday. First I had to get up early, wolf down my breakfast, and walk across the shaky and swinging wooden bridge that crossed the river between our house and the main road. Then I stood and waited for the bus to arrive. When it got there I climbed in. I was always one of the first ones on the bus. Then even though the bus was only 4 miles from school, I started a ride that would last more than 45 minutes.
First, the bus went in the opposite direction for 6 miles, parked and waited for another bus to transfer kids onto it. Then it started back, but instead of going straight to my school, it started up a long and winding mountain road pausing at every house to pick up more kids. The road swirled around the mountain and back down with the bus getting fuller, louder, and noisier with each stop. Finally, it arrived at the high school to drop off the older kids before heading on to my grade school. But even then it didn’t go straight there but instead headed down another rocky dirt road that was full of potholes to pick up even more children. I usually got to the school stressed, tired, and just before the first class bell rang.
Thankfully, the ride home was different. During it the last kids picked up became the first kids dropped off. But I was different. Since my house was along the way, I got dropped off after just 10 minutes or so. I remember I would literally run across that shaky old bridge because I was so happy to be home again.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150 左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Looking back now I can see my whole life here has been one crazy long bus ride.

Do your best to enjoy the ride this life gives you.

After using their paper or a device to take notes about this conversation, the volunteers were given an hour break and at ask to keep them from thinking directly about the study. They were then asked a number of questions like “What are the deadlines for the characters’ homework ”
Those who used paper for notetaking took only 11 minutes to jot down their thoughts during the study, while people who used tablets took 14 minutes; smartphone users spent the most time on the task, taking 16 minutes to write down their thoughts. As for the accuracy of the answers, those writing on paper seemed to stand out. This suggested that writing on paper benefited their memory.
8. Why did the volunteers writing on paper finish note-taking tasks faster
A. Their tasks were less difficult.
B. They took notes without any stops.
C. Their writing styles were consistent.
D. They could write in their unique ways.
9. What were the volunteers required to do in the study

【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章阐述了东京大学一个研究小组发布了一项新研究，他们通过实验证明：比起使用数字设备，在纸上写作实际上对大脑最有益。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“The team said that using paper gave the volunteers more of a chance to write in their own form, while digital devices are more consistent”（研究小组表示，使用纸张让志愿者有更多的机会以自己的形式书写，而数字设备的书写形式则始终如一。）可知，志愿者们在纸上写的更快是因为他们可以用自己的方式。所以“They could write in their unique ways.”（他们可以用自己独特的方式写作。）符合题意。故选D项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“After using their paper or a device to take notes about this conversation, the volunteers were given an hour break and at ask to keep them from thinking directly about the study. ”（在用他们的纸或设备记录下这段对话后，志愿者们被要求休息一小时，以防止他们直接想到这项研究。）可知，志愿者们被要求记录下一段对话。所以“Take notes about a conversation.”（对谈话做记录。）符合题意。故选C项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Those who used paper for notetaking took only 11 minutes to jot down their thoughts during the study, while people who used tablets took 14 minutes; smartphone users spent the most time on the task, taking 16 minutes to write down their thoughts. As for the accuracy of the answers, those writing on paper seemed to stand out. This suggested that writing on paper benefited their memory. ”（在研究过程中，用纸做笔记的人只花了11分钟记下自己的想法，而用平板电脑的人花了14分钟；智能手机用户花在这项任务上的时间最多，他们花16分钟写下自己的想法。至于答案的准确性，那些写在纸上的答案似乎很突出。这表明在纸上写字有助于他们的记忆力。）可知，在纸上写下后，记忆是最深刻的；因此志愿者们被要求休息一个小时之后，才开始回答问题的目的就是为了检测他们的记忆力。所以“To test their memory.”（为了测试他们的记忆力。）符合题意。故选A项。
【11题详解】
词义猜测题。根据最后一段中“smartphone users spent the most time on the task, taking 16 minutes to write down their thoughts.”（智能手机用户花在这项任务上的时间最多，他们花16分钟写下自己的想法。）可知，句中的write down就等同于划线短语jot down ，意为“写下”。故选B项。
D
Humans are not the only ones adapting to (适应) the effects of global climate change. Animals are also adapting to the environmental changes—some warm-blooded animals are beginning to “shapeshift (变身)” in response to shifts in climate, according to a recent study carried out by a team of researchers. The leader of the team is Sara Ryding, a researcher at Deakin University in Australia.
In the study, researchers have found new evidence that supports the theory that some warm-blooded animals are experiencing changes to their bodies due to the rising temperatures, resulting in larger legs, ears and beaks (喙) in some cases. The researchers have noted that warm-blooded animals living in colder climates have smaller legs, ears and beaks than animals of the same species living in warmer climates.
“When climate change is discussed in mainstream media, people are asking ‘Can humans overcome this ’ or ‘What technology can solve this ’” Ryding says.
She says that just like humans, animals also have to adapt to climate change, as shapeshifting for some of the warm-blooded animals is occurring over a far shorter time period.
“The climate change that we have created is putting much pressure on them, and while some species will adapt, others will not,” Ryding says.
Researchers have found body change in birds in Australia and North America. Certain species of Australian parrots have shown about 4%~10% increase in the size of their beaks since 1871, the reason for which is rising temperatures. In North America, the dark-eyed junco (灯芯草雀) also has seen an increase in beak size.
“Larger beaks help birds dissipate (驱散) extra body heat more effectively, which is useful as global temperatures rise. However, shapeshifting does not mean that animals are able to deal with climate change easily and that all is ‘fine’,” Ryding says. “It just means that they are struggling to adjust themselves to surviving it.”
12. What happens to some warm-blooded animals in warmer climates
A. Some parts of their bodies are missing.
B. Their bodies become colder and colder.
C. Their bodies change into smaller ones.
D Some of their body parts become larger.
13. Why are two types of animals mentioned in paragraph 6
A. To warn about the decrease of animal species.
B. To speak highly of animals’ ability to survive.
C. To explain why animals change the body shape.
D. To show the evidence of animals’ shapeshifting.
14. What do Sara Ryding’s words in the last paragraph suggest
A. Climate change does little harm to bird species.
B. Climate change is still a big challenge for birds.
C. Birds can easily deal with global climate change.
D. Birds fail to adjust themselves to climate change.
15. What is the best title for the text
A. All Animals Have to Adapt to Global Climate Change
B. Rising Temperatures Are Destroying Animals’ Bodies
C. Climate Change Is Making Some Animals Shapeshift
D. Warm-blooded Animals Inform Us of Global Warming
【答案】12. D 13. D 14. B 15. C
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项新的研究发现，一些温血动物开始因气候变化而“变身”，身体的一些部位变大了。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段关键句“In the study, researchers have found new evidence that supports the theory that some warm-blooded animals are experiencing changes to their bodies due to the rising temperatures, resulting in larger legs, ears and beaks (喙) in some cases.”（在这项研究中，研究人员发现了新的证据，支持这样一种理论，即一些温血动物由于温度升高正在经历身体的变化，在某些情况下导致腿、耳朵和喙变大。）可知，温度升高导致温血动物腿、耳朵和喙变大，由此可知，在温暖的气候中，一些温血动物的身体的一些部位变大了。故选D项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第六段内容“Researchers have found body change in birds in Australia and North America. Certain species of Australian parrots have shown about 4%~10% increase in the size of their beaks since 1871, the reason for which is rising temperatures. In North America, the dark-eyed junco (灯芯草雀) also has seen an increase in beak size.”（研究人员在澳大利亚和北美发现了鸟类的身体变化。自1871年以来，某些种类的澳大利亚鹦鹉的喙的大小增加了约4%~10%，原因是温度升高。在北美，灯芯草雀的喙也变大了。）可知，作者在第六段中列举澳大利亚鹦鹉和北美灯芯草雀的喙变大了的例子，而这一变化的原因正是温度升高导致的动物变身，由此可知，第6段提到了两种动物是为了展示动物变身的证据。故选D项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段内容““Larger beaks help birds dissipate (驱散) extra body heat more effectively, which is useful as global temperatures rise. However, shapeshifting does not mean that animals are able to deal with climate change easily and that all is ‘fine’,” Ryding says. “It just means that they are struggling to adjust themselves to surviving it.””（Ryding说：“较大的喙有助于鸟类更有效地驱散多余的体温，这在全球气温上升时很有用。然而，变身并不意味着动物能够轻松应对气候变化，一切都‘好’。”“这只意味着它们正在努力调整自己，以适应气候变化并生存下来。”）可知，Ryding告诉我们，鸟类等动物的变身并不意味着它们能够轻松应对气候变化，事实是它们正在努力调整自己，以便在气候变化中生存下来，由此可知，Sara Ryding在最后一段的话暗示了气候变化仍然是鸟类面临的一大挑战，它们在努力适应变化并生存下来。故选B项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第一段关键句“Animals are also adapting to the environmental changes—some warm-blooded animals are beginning to “shapeshift (变身)” in response to shifts in climate, according to a recent study carried out by a team of researchers.”（动物也在适应环境变化。根据一组研究人员最近进行的一项研究，一些温血动物开始因气候变化而“变身”。）可知，文章主要介绍了一项新的研究发现，一些温血动物开始因气候变化而“变身”，“Climate Change Is Making Some Animals Shapeshift”意为“气候变化正在使一些动物变身”，选项能够概括文章主要内容。故选C项。

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章通过将城市和乡下对比来说明搬去乡下住比在城市住的益处要多，同时也表明了在乡下住的缺点，通过通勤指南可以帮助人们解决这些缺点也可以帮助人们在乡下寻找合适的地方居住。
【36题详解】
考查固定短语。句意：一项新的研究发现，乡村生活也对你的精神健康大有裨益。great是形容词，修饰空处的名词；be of great benefit to sth.是固定短语，译为“对……大有好处”。故填benefit。

【44题详解】
考查疑问副词。句意：阻碍人们的主要原因是担心回城的成本和通勤时间，以及不知道去哪里。由文章最后一句“Yopa creates the Commuter Guide, which will help find the most affordable and ____ ( access) places”可知，Yopa 创建通勤指南来帮助人们寻找地方，故本句讲的是人们之所以不搬去乡下是因为担心回城的成本和通勤时间，同时对乡下不熟悉也不知道搬去哪里；本处用疑问词+不定式作宾语，即where to move，表示“不知道去哪里”。故填where。
【45题详解】
考查形容词。句意：为了帮助人们在城市之外找到幸福，而不必担心他们的工作和薪水，Yopa创建了通勤指南，这将有助于找到最负担得起和最易进入的的地方。and连接前后两个相同的并列成分，由affordable可知空处是形容词，修饰后面的名词places。故填accessible。

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When I was a boy, I had the craziest bus ride to school everyday. First I had to get up early, wolf down my breakfast, and walk across the shaky and swinging wooden bridge that crossed the river between our house and the main road. Then I stood and waited for the bus to arrive. When it got there I climbed in. I was always one of the first ones on the bus. Then even though the bus was only 4 miles from school, I started a ride that would last more than 45 minutes.
First, the bus went in the opposite direction for 6 miles, parked and waited for another bus to transfer kids onto it. Then it started back, but instead of going straight to my school, it started up a long and winding mountain road pausing at every house to pick up more kids. The road swirled around the mountain and back down with the bus getting fuller, louder, and noisier with each stop. Finally, it arrived at the high school to drop off the older kids before heading on to my grade school. But even then it didn’t go straight there but instead headed down another rocky dirt road that was full of potholes to pick up even more children. I usually got to the school stressed, tired, and just before the first class bell rang.
Thankfully, the ride home was different. During it the last kids picked up became the first kids dropped off. But I was different. Since my house was along the way, I got dropped off after just 10 minutes or so. I remember I would literally run across that shaky old bridge because I was so happy to be home again.

【答案】One possible version:
Looking back now I can see my whole life here has been one crazy long bus ride. It has been full of stops, starts, twists, turns and lots of passengers, some mean but most kind. Sometimes the scenery has been beautiful and sometimes not so much. Sometimes the road has been smooth and sometimes rocky. Through it all, though, I have taken comfort in knowing that one day I will be going home again. I will be so happy to be there too. I will run into the arms of those who went before me, have glory in the love I have shared, dance in the light, and be welcomed home with our family’s smile.
Do your best to enjoy the ride this life gives you. Take the trip with love in your heart and kindness in your soul. Make the journey better for those you meet along the way. And then when your time here is done, you can get off the bus, walk into the light, and find yourself so happy to be home again!
