Taking a picture of Mars is not easy. Once light bounces off the planet, it can take between 3 to 22 minutes to travel to Earth - so there aren't truly "live" images of Mars.
But on Friday afternoon, the European Space Agency will offer the closest thing: the first "livestream" of Mars a rare, almost real-time look into space on YouTube, which posts pictures of the planet every 50 seconds as they beam down directly from the camera mounted (安装) on the agency's Mars Express orbiter(轨道飞行器). We can get a firsthand look at Mars on Friday.
"During Friday's one-hour livestream, the time between the images being taken from orbit around Mars and appearing on your screen will be about 18 minutes," James Godfrey, the spacecraft operations manager at the ESA's mission control center, said in a statement. "That's 17 minutes for light to travel from Mars to Earth in their current configuration, and about one minute to pass through the wires and servers on the ground. "
"Normally, we see images from Mars and know that they were taken days before. I'm excited to see Mars as it is now -- as close to a Martian(火星人) 'now' as we can possibly get!'
In 50-second intervals, the camera shoots across Mars, showing a side of the planet entering night, as well as some clouds billowing out on the comer. The livestream celebrates the 20th anniversary of the Mars Express mission which was launched in 2003 to better understand the planet, as well as search for traces of water.
It's with this camera, originally meant for engineering purposes, that we'll get "live" images on Friday evening from 18:00 CEST in the first MarsLIVE. What makes this unique, is that it's a one-hour livestream from Mars but don't expect a detailed view of the Red Planet!
8.What can we learn from this text
A.Watching the MarsLIVE, people will have a completely real-time view of the Mars.
B.The audience can watch the MarsLIVE thanks to the camera on the Mars
C.About 20 years ago, the ESA launched an orbiter to search for Martians.
D.The MarsLIVE is to celebrate the launch of the Mars Express mission in 2003.
9.What does the underlined word "configuration" in paragraph 3 mean
A.Equipment. B.Orbit. C.Planet. D.Spacecraft.
10.What is the text mainly about
A.The live images taken from orbit around Mars.
B.The 20th anniversary of the Mars Express mission.
C.The first "livestream" of Mars to be shown on YouTube.
D.A rare and almost real-time look into space on YouTube.
11.What does the last paragraph imply
A.The camera was originally used to shoot the Mars.
B.We can get truly live Mars images in the first MarsLIVE.
C.Detailed images about the Mars can't be ensured.
D.The unique MarsLIVE will live up to viewers' expectation.

【知识点】推理判断题;词义猜测题;说明文;科普类;文章大意
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了拍摄火星照片的困难以及欧洲航天局将在YouTube上提供的首个"直播"火星的活动。
【点评】本题考点涉及推理判断,词义猜测和主旨大意三个题型的考查,是一篇科技类阅读,通读全文,理解文章大意,阅读题目后返回原文阅读并找出与题目相对应的内容,仔细核对,选择符合原文原意的答案,完成后再次阅读并检查。
8.考查推理判断。根据倒数第二段中的“The livestream celebrates the 20th anniversary of the Mars Express mission,which was launched in 2003 to better understand the planet,as well as search for traces of water.”直播庆祝火星快车任务20周年,该任务于2003年启动,旨在更好地了解火星,并寻找水的痕迹。可知火星"直播"是为了庆祝2003年火星快车任务的发射。故选D。
9.考查词义猜测。根据第三段中的“That's 17 minutes for light to travel from Mars to Earth in their current configuration,and about one minute to pass through the wires and servers on the ground”在目前的配置下,光从火星传播到地球需要17分钟,通过地面的电线和服务器大约需要1分钟。可知划线词configuration的意思是"配置"。故选A。
10.考查主旨大意。根据第二段“But on Friday afternoon,the European Space Agency will offer the closest thing:the first"livestream"of Mars —a rare,almost real-time look into space on YouTube,which posts pictures of the planet every 50 second s as they beam down directly from the camera mounted(安装) on the agency's Mars Express orbiter(轨道飞行器).We can get a firsthand look at Mars on Friday.”但在周五下午,欧洲航天局将提供最接近的东西:第一个火星"直播"---在YouTube上对太空进行罕见的几乎实时的观察,每50秒发布一次火星照片,这些照片是直接从该机构的火星快车轨道器上安装的相机上传的。我们可以在星期五第一时间看到火星。可知本文介绍了拍摄火星照片的困难以及欧洲航天局将在YouTube上提供的首个"直播"火星的活动。故选C。
11.考查推理判断。根据最后一段It's with this camera,originally meant for engineering purposes,that we'll get‘live’images on Friday evening from 18:00 CEST in the first MarsLIVE.What makes this unique,is that it's a one-hour livestream from Mars—but don't expect a detailed view of the Red Planet!”正是有了这台最初用于工程目的的相机,我们将在周五晚上18:00 CEST第一场火星直播中获得"现场"图像。它的独特之处在于,这是一个来自火星的一小时直播---但不要期待红色星球的详细视图!可知最后一段暗示关于火星的详细图像无法得到保证。故选C。

Whenever you read text, your brain processes the visual stimuli (刺激物) to create meaning and understand the content. Chances are, you don't pay much attention to the way the information is presented-- particularly the font (字体) choice. That's because your main target is reading comprehension, not aesthetics.
Although typography(排印) is missed by most of us, it's essential in making texts legible, readable and appealing for audiences. Beyond the visual aspect, research shows that fonts play a significant role in the mental processes of understanding that happen while we read. A font's impact on the way you learn and memorize information might be hard to notice consciously, but your brain is certainly tuned in. Perhaps surprisingly, hard-to-read fonts such as Bodoni, Comic Sans, or Monotype Corsiva are better for memorizing information than fonts like Arial or Times New Roman, according to some studies.
"Difficulty can function as an alarm signal, giving the reader a sense that the task is challenging and will require mental effort," says Daniel Oppenheimer, a professor of psychology at Carnegie Mellon University and one of a 2010 study authors, "Additionally, slowing down the reading speed to deal with the disfluency may increase the probability of spotting errors in a text. "
Font characteristics such as style, size and color play a role in information retention memory or recall as well, says Stephen Banham, a typography lecturer at RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia. Experiments have proved a U-shape relationship between font size and memory: Large-font items may predict higher recall regardless of style, but very small font sizes can also introduce a desirable difficulty.
A document's specific method of formatting information also makes an impact. Using font styles like bold or italics to indicate significance can also improve memory. That's because people are better able to remember information they consider important, says Oppenheimer. Researchers found that bolded text has a higher recall than text in italic or regular styles, regardless of the font size. However, if an entire document is bolded, the emphasis is lost, and readers can no longer spot vital passages.
12.Why do readers often ignore the font choice
A.They lack aesthetic knowledge.
B.They aim to understand the meaning.
C.Their brains are not sensitive to the font.
D.Fonts are of little significance in reading.
13.What does Daniel Oppenheimer say about hard-to-read fonts
A.They can lead to desirable challenges.
B.They may distract readers from the text.
C.The meaning of the text may be mistaken.
D.They will affect reading performance negatively.
14.What can improve people's information retention or recall
A.Using fonts of medium size.
B.Choosing bright font colors.
C.Putting the words in italic type
D.Making the whole passage bold.
15.Which of the following is the best title for the text
A.What Fonts Make Reading Easy
B.What Fonts Make Memory Lasting
C.Why Fonts Impact Retention and Recall
D.How Fonts Affect Learning and Memory
【答案】12.B
13.A
14.C
15.D

【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解,推理判断和标题归纳三个题型的考查,是一篇教育类阅读,首先要仔细阅读短文,掌握大意,然后结合具体的题目,再读短文,从中找出相关信息,就可以确定正确答案。
12.考查推理判断。根据第一段中的“Chances are,you don't pay much attention to the way the information is presented — particularly the font(字体) choice.That's because your main target is reading comprehension,not aesthetics.”很有可能,你不太注意信息的呈现方式,尤其是字体的选择。那是因为你的主要目标是阅读理解,而不是审美。可知读者通常会忽略字体的选择,因为他们的目的是理解意思。故选B。
13.考查推理判断。根据第三段"‘Difficulty can function as an alarm signal,giving the reader a sense that the task is challenging and will require mental effort,’says Daniel Oppenheimer,a professor of psychology at Carnegie Mellon University and one of a 2010 study authors,‘Additionally,slowing down the reading speed to deal with the disfluency may increase the probability of spotting errors in a text.’"卡内基梅隆大学心理学教授、2010年研究报告的作者之一丹尼尔 奥本海默说:"困难可以起到警报信号的作用,让读者感觉这项任务具有挑战性,需要精神上的努力。此外,降低阅读速度以应对不流畅可能会增加发现文本中错误的概率。"可知丹尼尔 奥本海默说难读的字体会带来令人满意的挑战。故选A。
14.考查细节理解。根据最后一段中的“Using font styles like bold or italics to indicate significance can also improve memory”使用粗体或斜体这样的字体来表示重要性也可以提高记忆力。可知将单词用斜体打印可以提高人们的信息记忆或回忆能力。故选C。
15.考查标题归纳。根据倒数第二段中的“Font characteristics such as style,size and color play a role in information retention memory or recall as well,says Stephen Banham,a typography lecture r at RMIT University in Melbourne,Australia”澳大利亚墨尔本皇家理工大学印刷术讲师斯蒂芬 班汉姆说,字体的特征,如风格、大小和颜色,也在信息保持、记忆或回忆中起作用;以及最后一段中的“A document's specific method of formatting information also makes an impact.Using font styles like bold or italics to indicate significance can also improve memory.”文档格式化信息的特定方法也会产生影响。使用粗体或斜体这样的字体来表示重要性也可以提高记忆力。可知本文主要讲述了字体对阅读理解和记忆的影响。“字体如何影响学习和记忆”适合做本文标题。故选D。

Escaping stalkers (跟踪者).
I've been a public person as a jazz vocalist for years. It exposed me to stalkers who felt they knew me, just because I was present everywhere. Needless to say, it brought me much anxiety and stress. At some point I asked myself-is being visible more important than my peace of mind 17. The answer is a clear NO. I just want to spend life doing what I love with the people I love.
Protecting privacy
18. I need alone time to process what I'm struggling with and honest real talks with the people I trust. I might share a lesson learned from an experience, but now I won't. I know that by keeping my life private on social media I may miss out on some connections, but I honor and respect the people in my life who value their privacy, so I am being mindful and protect that.
19.
Another reason I keep my life private is that I prefer to be in the present moment and appreciate it fully. To be on your phone constantly, or to film everything you do, can be quite disrespectful to the people you spend your time with. You lose out on those spontaneous(自发的) moments and a deeper connection. I choose what I share and when I share it, and the rest is for experiencing life without expectations.
Live your life fully, regardless of whether the world knows it or not! __40__ I just want you to know it's OK if you don't.
A. Experiencing life
B. Living in the moment
C. Don't I really care about privacy

46. 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,
For years, my wife Teresa taught physical education at the elementary school level. Travelling on a regular schedule to the six schools in her district, she had a chance to get to know most of the kids in the area and see them at their best and their worst.
One day, in her class, Teresa noticed a third-grade girl, Meagan, who was short and grossly overweight, with a closed and hopeless look on her face. Meagan always sat alone in class, played alone at break, and ate alone from a recycled paper sack at lunch. The teachers and staff were kind to Meagan, but the students were not.
The stories made your shoulders drop. Teresa heard that when the playground supervisors (管理员) turned their backs, kids would run up to Meagan, calling her "Meagan the Fat Pig. " They did far worse than isolate (孤立) her; they filled her school days and walks home with physical and emotional torment(折磨). Also, Meagan's single mother, a hard-working woman, was trying her best to make ends meet but she had never made it before.
Meagan's situation disturbed my wife deeply. After talking with the principle and other teachers, Teresa came up with an idea. She knew from talking to Meagan that the child had never had a pet. Teresa was sure a pet would be the perfect way to inject some high-powered love and acceptance into Meagan's life.
So one Saturday afternoon, Meagan was invited to Teresa's office. When the door buzzer sounded, a dog engaged in a predictable and vigorous welcome. Getting down on one knee, Teresa introduced herself to Meagan. She told Meagan her thought that she could take away a puppy if she liked. Like any creature that has been cared about, Meagan gleamed in her eyes and playfully lifted the puppy almost off the ground. That day Meagan left the office with the puppy.
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。
Paragraph 1: Now she had a living, breathing friend who wanted to play with her.
Paragraph 2: Ten years later, Teresa received an invitation to the high school graduation ceremony from Meagan, where Meagan made a speech.
【答案】One possible version:
Now she had a living, breathing friend who wanted to play with her. The cute puppy loved to cuddle up next to her on the sofa and sleep next her on the bed. When Meagan came home from school, the puppy would rush to the door, and follow her from room to room through the house. They became close ones, being together whenever and wherever possible. Energized by the puppy's unconditional love, limitless affection and loyalty, Meagan began to blossom. She did find fellow pet lovers who befriended her, and things began to improve for her physically, emotionally, and socially.
Ten years later, Teresa received an invitation to the high school graduation ceremony from Meagan, where Meagan made a speech. When Meagan strode to the platform, head high and beaming, Teresa hardly recognized her. She gave a speech on the importance of acceptance and friendship. She talked about the puppy and the great teacher she'd met in the third grade who had helped her climb the steep and treacherous slope of her childhood. It was the puppy who had comforted her when there wasn't enough to eat in the house and who had stayed by her while she sobbed her heart out. At the conclusion of the speech, Meagan lifted her hands high, displaying a photograph of the puppy, saying, "Thank you, puppy, my close friend. Thank you, Teresa, my great teacher!'" As she described, the crowd rose to their feet with cheers, laughter, and long, thunderous applause
【知识点】文字式记叙文;开放性作文;读后续写
【解析】【分析】本篇书面表达是读后续写。通过阅读文章可知,讲述了Meagan从自卑走向自信的故事。续写第一段开头为:现在她有了一个活生生的朋友,他想和她一起玩。......后面应该写Meagan和小狗快乐相处的情景,身体、情感和社交状况开始好转。续写第二段开头为:十年后,Teresa收到了Meagan的高中毕业典礼邀请,Meagan在会上发表了演讲。......后面应该写Meagan演讲的内容以及自己的感受。写作时注意准确运用时态,上下文意思连贯,符合逻辑关系,尽量使用自己熟悉的单词句式,同时也要注意使用高级词汇和高级句型使文章显得更有档次。

Taking a picture of Mars is not easy. Once light bounces off the planet, it can take between 3 to 22 minutes to travel to Earth - so there aren't truly "live" images of Mars.
But on Friday afternoon, the European Space Agency will offer the closest thing: the first "livestream" of Mars a rare, almost real-time look into space on YouTube, which posts pictures of the planet every 50 seconds as they beam down directly from the camera mounted (安装) on the agency's Mars Express orbiter(轨道飞行器). We can get a firsthand look at Mars on Friday.
"During Friday's one-hour livestream, the time between the images being taken from orbit around Mars and appearing on your screen will be about 18 minutes," James Godfrey, the spacecraft operations manager at the ESA's mission control center, said in a statement. "That's 17 minutes for light to travel from Mars to Earth in their current configuration, and about one minute to pass through the wires and servers on the ground. "
"Normally, we see images from Mars and know that they were taken days before. I'm excited to see Mars as it is now -- as close to a Martian(火星人) 'now' as we can possibly get!'
In 50-second intervals, the camera shoots across Mars, showing a side of the planet entering night, as well as some clouds billowing out on the comer. The livestream celebrates the 20th anniversary of the Mars Express mission which was launched in 2003 to better understand the planet, as well as search for traces of water.
It's with this camera, originally meant for engineering purposes, that we'll get "live" images on Friday evening from 18:00 CEST in the first MarsLIVE. What makes this unique, is that it's a one-hour livestream from Mars but don't expect a detailed view of the Red Planet!
8.What can we learn from this text
A.Watching the MarsLIVE, people will have a completely real-time view of the Mars.
B.The audience can watch the MarsLIVE thanks to the camera on the Mars
C.About 20 years ago, the ESA launched an orbiter to search for Martians.
D.The MarsLIVE is to celebrate the launch of the Mars Express mission in 2003.
9.What does the underlined word "configuration" in paragraph 3 mean
A.Equipment. B.Orbit. C.Planet. D.Spacecraft.
10.What is the text mainly about
A.The live images taken from orbit around Mars.
B.The 20th anniversary of the Mars Express mission.
C.The first "livestream" of Mars to be shown on YouTube.
D.A rare and almost real-time look into space on YouTube.
11.What does the last paragraph imply
A.The camera was originally used to shoot the Mars.
B.We can get truly live Mars images in the first MarsLIVE.
C.Detailed images about the Mars can't be ensured.
D.The unique MarsLIVE will live up to viewers' expectation.

Whenever you read text, your brain processes the visual stimuli (刺激物) to create meaning and understand the content. Chances are, you don't pay much attention to the way the information is presented-- particularly the font (字体) choice. That's because your main target is reading comprehension, not aesthetics.
Although typography(排印) is missed by most of us, it's essential in making texts legible, readable and appealing for audiences. Beyond the visual aspect, research shows that fonts play a significant role in the mental processes of understanding that happen while we read. A font's impact on the way you learn and memorize information might be hard to notice consciously, but your brain is certainly tuned in. Perhaps surprisingly, hard-to-read fonts such as Bodoni, Comic Sans, or Monotype Corsiva are better for memorizing information than fonts like Arial or Times New Roman, according to some studies.
"Difficulty can function as an alarm signal, giving the reader a sense that the task is challenging and will require mental effort," says Daniel Oppenheimer, a professor of psychology at Carnegie Mellon University and one of a 2010 study authors, "Additionally, slowing down the reading speed to deal with the disfluency may increase the probability of spotting errors in a text. "
Font characteristics such as style, size and color play a role in information retention memory or recall as well, says Stephen Banham, a typography lecturer at RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia. Experiments have proved a U-shape relationship between font size and memory: Large-font items may predict higher recall regardless of style, but very small font sizes can also introduce a desirable difficulty.
A document's specific method of formatting information also makes an impact. Using font styles like bold or italics to indicate significance can also improve memory. That's because people are better able to remember information they consider important, says Oppenheimer. Researchers found that bolded text has a higher recall than text in italic or regular styles, regardless of the font size. However, if an entire document is bolded, the emphasis is lost, and readers can no longer spot vital passages.
12.Why do readers often ignore the font choice
A.They lack aesthetic knowledge.
B.They aim to understand the meaning.
C.Their brains are not sensitive to the font.
D.Fonts are of little significance in reading.
13.What does Daniel Oppenheimer say about hard-to-read fonts
A.They can lead to desirable challenges.
B.They may distract readers from the text.
C.The meaning of the text may be mistaken.
D.They will affect reading performance negatively.
14.What can improve people's information retention or recall
A.Using fonts of medium size.
B.Choosing bright font colors.
C.Putting the words in italic type
D.Making the whole passage bold.
15.Which of the following is the best title for the text
A.What Fonts Make Reading Easy
B.What Fonts Make Memory Lasting
C.Why Fonts Impact Retention and Recall
D.How Fonts Affect Learning and Memory

At some point I asked myself-is being visible more important than my peace of mind 17. The answer is a clear NO. I just want to spend life doing what I love with the people I love.
Protecting privacy
18. I need alone time to process what I'm struggling with and honest real talks with the people I trust. I might share a lesson learned from an experience, but now I won't.

You lose out on those spontaneous(自发的) moments and a deeper connection. I choose what I share and when I share it, and the rest is for experiencing life without expectations.
Live your life fully, regardless of whether the world knows it or not! __40__ I just want you to know it's OK if you don't.
A. Experiencing life
B. Living in the moment
C. Don't I really care about privacy

For years, my wife Teresa taught physical education at the elementary school level. Travelling on a regular schedule to the six schools in her district, she had a chance to get to know most of the kids in the area and see them at their best and their worst.
One day, in her class, Teresa noticed a third-grade girl, Meagan, who was short and grossly overweight, with a closed and hopeless look on her face. Meagan always sat alone in class, played alone at break, and ate alone from a recycled paper sack at lunch. The teachers and staff were kind to Meagan, but the students were not.
The stories made your shoulders drop. Teresa heard that when the playground supervisors (管理员) turned their backs, kids would run up to Meagan, calling her "Meagan the Fat Pig. " They did far worse than isolate (孤立) her; they filled her school days and walks home with physical and emotional torment(折磨). Also, Meagan's single mother, a hard-working woman, was trying her best to make ends meet but she had never made it before.
Meagan's situation disturbed my wife deeply. After talking with the principle and other teachers, Teresa came up with an idea. She knew from talking to Meagan that the child had never had a pet. Teresa was sure a pet would be the perfect way to inject some high-powered love and acceptance into Meagan's life.
So one Saturday afternoon, Meagan was invited to Teresa's office. When the door buzzer sounded, a dog engaged in a predictable and vigorous welcome. Getting down on one knee, Teresa introduced herself to Meagan. She told Meagan her thought that she could take away a puppy if she liked. Like any creature that has been cared about, Meagan gleamed in her eyes and playfully lifted the puppy almost off the ground. That day Meagan left the office with the puppy.
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。
Paragraph 1: Now she had a living, breathing friend who wanted to play with her.

46.【答案】One possible version:
Now she had a living, breathing friend who wanted to play with her. The cute puppy loved to cuddle up next to her on the sofa and sleep next her on the bed. When Meagan came home from school, the puppy would rush to the door, and follow her from room to room through the house. They became close ones, being together whenever and wherever possible. Energized by the puppy's unconditional love, limitless affection and loyalty, Meagan began to blossom. She did find fellow pet lovers who befriended her, and things began to improve for her physically, emotionally, and socially.
Ten years later, Teresa received an invitation to the high school graduation ceremony from Meagan, where Meagan made a speech. When Meagan strode to the platform, head high and beaming, Teresa hardly recognized her. She gave a speech on the importance of acceptance and friendship. She talked about the puppy and the great teacher she'd met in the third grade who had helped her climb the steep and treacherous slope of her childhood. It was the puppy who had comforted her when there wasn't enough to eat in the house and who had stayed by her while she sobbed her heart out. At the conclusion of the speech, Meagan lifted her hands high, displaying a photograph of the puppy, saying, "Thank you, puppy, my close friend. Thank you, Teresa, my great teacher!'" As she described, the crowd rose to their feet with cheers, laughter, and long, thunderous applause

【点评】本书面表达要点齐全,上下文连贯,使用一定数量的句式结构,让句子更加生动丰满,同时运用了许多高级词汇和固定短语,提高文章的档次,体现了对英语的熟练的驾驭能力。例如:When Meagan came home from school, the puppy would rush to the door, and follow her from room to room through the house.运用了时间状语从句; They became close ones, being together whenever and wherever possible. 运用了状语从句的省略;Energized by the puppy's unconditional love, limitless affection and loyalty, Meagan began to blossom. 运用了过去分词作状语;She did find fellow pet lovers who befriended her, and things began to improve for her physically, emotionally, and socially.运用了限制性定语从句,并列句;When Meagan strode to the platform, head high and beaming, Teresa hardly recognized her. 运用了时间状语从句,独立主格结构;She talked about the puppy and the great teacher she'd met in the third grade who had helped her climb the steep and treacherous slope of her childhood. 运用了限制性定语从句;It was the puppy who had comforted her when there wasn't enough to eat in the house and who had stayed by her while she sobbed her heart out.运用了强调句,时间状语从句;As she described, the crowd rose to their feet with cheers, laughter, and long,thunderous applause.运用了非限制性定语从句。
