Big Problems, Simple Solutions
Inventions are improving health and well-being in communities around the world. Speakers at recent TED events have shared simple and inexpensive solutions that can solve everyday problems.
FUEL BRIQUETTES （燃料砖）
In the developing world, smoke from indoor cooking kills more than 2 million children each year. In fact, it’s the number one cause of death of children under five. Amy Smith, founder of D-Lab at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), discovered a way to make a safe cooking fuel. The material she uses is also free and plentiful: farm waste.
Smith invented a low-cost device that turns farm waste into fuel briquettes. These briquettes produce smoke that is less dangerous than the smoke from other fuel. They also burn hotter and last longer. Farmers can make these briquettes from readily available waste. This invention has an economic benefit, too. Farmers can buy the device for $2 and sell briquettes they don’t use. Smith estimates (估算) that this can increase a farmer’s income by $500 a month.
DISASTER SHELTERS
Over 31 million people worldwide lose their homes every year due to natural disasters such as hurricanes and earthquakes. After these disasters many people live in terrible conditions—in tents or in large stadiums with no privacy. Graphic designer Michael McDaniel invented inexpensive and temporary housing for people in these situations.
Called the Reaction Ex, these shelters are small, one-room houses that comfortably hold up to four people. They’re made from a plastic that is strong, recyclable, and super light. In fact, they’re so light that they can be lifted by hand and are very portable as well. McDaniel hopes that his invention will provide an affordable solution to help people rebuild their lives after a natural disaster.
16 The key goal to invent the fuel briquettes is to________.
A. increase family income
B. make full use of farm waste
C. get free and plentiful cooking fuel
D. protect kids from dangerous cooking smoke
17. What are the features of disaster shelters
A. Light and affordable. B. Heavy and recyclable.
C. Big and comfortable. D. Small and breakable.
18. What is the main purpose of the passage
A. To explain design methods. B. To introduce new inventions.
C. To report research findings. D. To advertise latest products.
【答案】16. D 17. A 18. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了两个简单而廉价的解决日常问题的发明。
【详解】1.推理判断题。根据FUEL BRIQUETTES 部分第一段第一句“In the developing world, smoke from indoor cooking kills more than 2 million children each year. ”（在发展中国家，室内烹饪产生的烟雾每年导致200多万儿童死亡。）和第二句“discovered a way to make a safe cooking fuel”（发现了一种制造安全烹饪燃料的方法）可知，发明燃料型煤的关键目标是保护孩子们远离危险的炊烟。故选D。
2.细节理解题。根据DISASTER SHELTERS部分第二段第二句“They’re made from a plastic that is strong, recyclable, and super light.”（它们是由坚固、可回收、超轻的塑料制成的。）可知，灾难避难所的特点之一是很轻，根据最后一句“McDaniel hopes that his invention will provide an affordable solution to help people rebuild their lives after a natural disaster.”（麦克丹尼尔希望他的发明能够提供一种经济实惠的解决方案，帮助人们在自然灾害后重建生活。）可知，灾难避难所是经济实惠的。故选A。
3.推理判断题。根据第一段第二句“Speakers at recent TED events have shared simple and inexpensive solutions that can solve everyday problems.”（在最近的TED活动上，演讲者们分享了一些简单而廉价的解决日常问题的方法。）可知，这篇文章的主要目的是介绍新发明。故选B项。
B
Compassion may be something that one is born with, but actually being good at caring for others requires experience and a certain set of skills. An early opportunity to develop and practice these skills came with the birth of my brother when I was in 5th grade. Although it took great patience to deal with a small child, I found deep joy in something so simple as watching him grow day by day.
Not only did I enjoy taking care of my little brother, but I volunteered at the Organization for Special Needs Families (OSNF) in my neighborhood so I could apply and further develop my childcare skills. I was partnered with Matthew, a 10-year-old with curly blond hair and blue eyes. He didn’t look different from other kids, but he had difficulty controlling his emotions, especially anger. His biggest problem was that he couldn’t go to the toilet himself. Every day I had to clean up his mess if he pooped in his pants. It was just like the “good old days” with my little brother before I successfully toilet-trained him.
Although I was never going to be able to toilet-train Matthew, I was able to change his life in another way. We had swimming three times a week, but Matthew was hopelessly afraid of the water. At first, Matthew just sat on the steps of the pool and did nothing. I pushed him slowly down the stairs until he was at last standing in the shallowest part of the pool. The next day, I pushed him a little further into the water. By the third day, he completely trusted me to take him into the pool. Maybe my large size also helped give him a sense of security. He did not have to be afraid of anything when a 200-pound guy was holding him tight. I felt so proud as I saw him standing there in the pool, happily playing with other kids in the water. The OSNF adult leaders told me that I was the only volunteer who had been able to take care of Matthew well. I think what made the difference is the belief I had in Matthew, like how I had always believed in my little brother.
Helping Matthew “grow” to overcome his fear of water made me realize things do not happen overnight. Real magic is a result of patience, and miracles happen when one believes in them.
19. How did the author feel about taking care of his brother
A Tired. B. Joyful.
C. Proud. D. Stressed.
20. The author volunteered at OSNF because he wanted to ________.
A. use and improve his childcare skills
B. create a friendly neighborhood
C. change the lives of other kids
D. get some work experience
21. With the author’s help, Matthew finally could ________.
A. control his emotions B. play with his friends
C. poop in the toilet D. stand in the pool
22. According to the author, what mattered most when he helped Matthew “grow”
A. His large size and strong body.
B. His experience and knowledge.
C. His patience and trust in Matthew.
D. His willingness to take care of his brother.
【答案】19. B 20. A 21. D 22. C
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述作者帮助Matthew成长的经历。作者认为他对Matthew的耐心和信任是最重要的。
【19题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“Although it took great patience to deal with a small child, I found deep joy in something so simple as watching him grow day by day.”虽然照顾一个小孩需要很大的耐心，但看着他一天天长大这样简单的事情，却让我从中找到了深切的快乐。由此可知，作者觉得照顾他的弟弟是快乐的。故选B。
【20题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Not only do I enjoy taking care of my little brother, but I volunteer with the Special Needs Family Organization (OSNF) in my community so that I can apply and further develop my childcare skills.”由此可知，作者在OSNF做志愿者，因为他想利用并提高自己的照顾孩子的技能。故选A。
【21题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“I pushed him slowly down the stairs until he was at last standing in the shallowest part of the pool.”我推着他慢慢地走下楼梯，直到他终于站在池塘最浅的地方。由此可知，在作者的帮助下，Matthew终于可以站在泳池里了。故选D。
【22题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Helping Matthew “grow” to overcome his fear of water made me realize things do not happen overnight. Real magic is a result of patience, and miracles happen when one believes in them.”“帮助Matthew“成长”，克服他对水的恐惧，让我意识到事情不是一蹴而就的。真正的魔法是耐心的结果，奇迹发生在相信它们的时候。”由此可知，据作者说，当他帮助Matthew“成长”时，他对Matthew的耐心和信任是最重要的。故选C。
C
At the heart of psychology is understanding behavior, and understanding behavior has much to do with understanding the brain. Neuroscientists (神经系统科学家) have become more efficient at mapping the brain and have gained more understanding of how the brain develops and works. Truly, differences in behavior as we age and between genders, are most likely explained by the physical state of and changes in our brains.
Around the age of 12, it is believed that the areas of the brain that are used most will be strengthened and cells in the brain that are not used tend to die. What you do with your brain in your teen years probably decides how your brain will work for the rest of your life. If a teen spends endless hours watching TV, the neural connections that help the brain process TV are what will be strengthened. It is clear, therefore, that how young people spend their time is of great importance.
Surprisingly, and different from earlier beliefs, the brain is still developing even in the early twenties. Areas of the brain that are related to emotion, decision making, reasoning, and problem solving are still not fully developed. This may go some way toward explaining why car accident rates in young people are significantly higher than those among older people. Young people don’t have the necessary skills to make complex judgments while driving.
There are also differences in the way brains develop when it comes to gender. It appears that girls are ready to process more challenging information earlier than boys, with the area of the brain responsible for this activity peaking at the age of 14 to 16 in boys, a full two years later than girls. In addition, studies have shown that girls and boys process language input in different parts of their brains. Girls typically tend to do better than boys in language, which means that they have more brain matter responsible for language skills.
This kind of research raises important questions about how boys and girls should be taught in school to maximize (使最大化) their learning. For example, the idea of single-sex education should perhaps be taken into consideration. Experts say that we would do well to revisit the timing of the subjects taught in school, as some parts of the brain develop before others. Additionally, what we understand about the teenage brain should perhaps be taken into consideration when laws are being made with regard to the minimum (最低的) driving age.
23. According to the passage, young people are more likely to have car accidents because _______.
A. they fail to realize the importance of skills
B. they don’t have the necessary skills in driving
C. certain areas in their brains are not fully developed
D. their brains tend to be influenced by their emotions
24. What can we learn from the passage
A. Earlier beliefs show the brain is still developing in the early twenties.
B. Girls are better at language because they are devoted to language learning.
C. How people spend their time when they’re teenagers affects their future life.
D. Gender makes no difference when it comes to the physical state of the brain.
25. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that ________.
A. single-sex education may benefit teenagers
B. the time when school starts should be put off
C. lawmakers will lower the minimum driving age
D. the number of subjects in school might be changed
26. Which would be the best title for this passage
A. Age and the Brain B. Genders and the Brain
C. Mapping the Brain D. The Developing Brain
【答案】23. C 24. C 25. A 26. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文，主要介绍了人类的大脑在不断的发展。
【23题详解】
细节理解题。根据原文第三段“Areas of the brain that are related to emotion, decision making, reasoning, and problem solving are still not fully developed. This may go some way toward explaining why car accident rates in young people are significantly higher than those among older people.”可知，大脑中与情感、决策、推理论证和问题解决有关的大脑区域尚未发育完全，这可以解释为何年轻人的交通事故发生率显著高于中老年人。C选项“大脑中的某些区域尚未发育完全”符合原文。完成题目时应注意排除干扰项B，第三段最后一句提到年轻人缺乏的是驾驶时做出复杂判断的必要能力（make complex judgments while driving），而不是缺乏驾驶的必要能力，B选项偷换概念。综上应选C。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。原文第二段举了12岁左右的青少年看电视的例子，并明确指出“What you do with your brain in your teen years probably decides how your brain will work for the rest of your life.”（在青少年时期你用你的大脑干什么很可能会决定余下的一生你的大脑是如何运转的），文中提到如果青少年没完没了地看电视，那么大脑中与此有关的细胞就会活跃发达，其它部分会退化，并总结道“It is clear, therefore, that how young people spend their time is of great importance”，因此，年轻人怎样花他们的时间（对他们的未来发展、未来生活）十分重要。由此判断出，人们在青少年时期如何打发时间会影响他们未来的生活。故选C。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。本题问的是从最后一段可以推断出什么，在倒数第二段文章提到男女性别不同，大脑发展规律有别，最后一段进一步说这样的研究提出了一个问题——即学校应该如何教育男孩和女孩最大限度地提高他们的学习能力？紧接着作者举了例子“For example, the idea of single-sex education should perhaps be taken into consideration.”（例如，男女分开、因才施策的点子或许应该被纳入考虑），结合前文的内容可合理推断，这里的“纳入考虑”正是基于这种教育或许对青少年有益，由此推断出分男女的教育对青少年有益，故选A。
【26题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据第一段“Neuroscientists (神经系统科学家) have become more efficient at mapping the brain and have gained more understanding of how the brain develops and works. Truly, differences in behavior as we age and between genders, are most likely explained by the physical state of and changes in our brains.”可知，神经科学家在绘制大脑图谱方面变得更加高效，对大脑的发育和运作有了更多的了解。的确，随着年龄的增长和性别的差异，很可能是由我们大脑的生理状态和变化来解释的。D选项“不断发展中的大脑”适合做标题。故选D。

I always dreamed of pulling off the surprise prank (玩笑) of a lifetime. Well, thanks to a little determination, some luck, and the power of love, my dream became a reality.
My family is Canadian, although my sister studied in Australia. She was graduating just before Christmas, but because my school schedule was busy, I would not be able to make it down in time for her graduation. She was understandably disappointed, and I felt guilty that I couldn’t be there for her on this most special occasion.
While I was talking to my teacher the week before the big event, I mentioned that I would be missing my sister’s graduation. Surprisingly, she commented, “Well, if you want to go, I have no problem with it, so go ahead!” I couldn’t believe my luck! I nearly jumped for joy.
Immediately, I called the airline. Amazingly, even during the busy Christmas season, I was able to change my ticket to arrive the day before my sister’s graduation.
With this fantastic news, I was bursting to tell my sister. But, wait. For a grand surprise, I needed a much more dramatic arrival than just a ring of the doorbell. What if I could arrive in a box That would be the best Christmas present for my sister.
Although I was leaving in less than seventy-two hours, I started searching for delivery companies. The only one willing to go along with my Christmas surprise, was CouriersPlease. At first the manager said no, because Christmas was their busiest season. But then later, he kindly volunteered to deliver me himself.
Upon arrival in Australia, the manager and his colleagues loaded me in the box and carried me all the way up to my sister’s, where they rang the doorbell and announced they had a delivery for her. I couldn’t see the look on my sister’s face, but I could tell from her voice that she was both shocked and excited to receive such a huge gift box. I will never forget the look on her face as she opened the box.
It was such a great Christmas present for my sister, that is, for me to be able to go to her graduation, and in the process, show her how much I loved her. It also served as a lesson for me: _____________________.
27. Why was the author unable to go to his sister’s graduation (不多于7个单词)

Big Problems, Simple Solutions
Inventions are improving health and well-being in communities around the world. Speakers at recent TED events have shared simple and inexpensive solutions that can solve everyday problems.
FUEL BRIQUETTES （燃料砖）
In the developing world, smoke from indoor cooking kills more than 2 million children each year. In fact, it’s the number one cause of death of children under five. Amy Smith, founder of D-Lab at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), discovered a way to make a safe cooking fuel. The material she uses is also free and plentiful: farm waste.
Smith invented a low-cost device that turns farm waste into fuel briquettes. These briquettes produce smoke that is less dangerous than the smoke from other fuel. They also burn hotter and last longer. Farmers can make these briquettes from readily available waste. This invention has an economic benefit, too. Farmers can buy the device for $2 and sell briquettes they don’t use. Smith estimates (估算) that this can increase a farmer’s income by $500 a month.
DISASTER SHELTERS
Over 31 million people worldwide lose their homes every year due to natural disasters such as hurricanes and earthquakes. After these disasters, many people live in terrible conditions—in tents or in large stadiums with no privacy. Graphic designer Michael McDaniel invented inexpensive and temporary housing for people in these situations.
Called the Reaction Ex, these shelters are small, one-room houses that comfortably hold up to four people. They’re made from a plastic that is strong, recyclable, and super light. In fact, they’re so light that they can be lifted by hand and are very portable as well. McDaniel hopes that his invention will provide an affordable solution to help people rebuild their lives after a natural disaster.
16. The key goal to invent the fuel briquettes is to________.
A. increase family income
B. make full use of farm waste
C. get free and plentiful cooking fuel
D. protect kids from dangerous cooking smoke
17. What are the features of disaster shelters
A. Light and affordable. B. Heavy and recyclable.
C. Big and comfortable. D. Small and breakable.
18. What is the main purpose of the passage
A. To explain design methods. B. To introduce new inventions.
C. To report research findings. D. To advertise latest products.
B
Compassion may be something that one is born with, but actually being good at caring for others requires experience and a certain set of skills. An early opportunity to develop and practice these skills came with the birth of my brother when I was in 5th grade. Although it took great patience to deal with a small child, I found deep joy in something so simple as watching him grow day by day.
Not only did I enjoy taking care of my little brother, but I volunteered at the Organization for Special Needs Families (OSNF) in my neighborhood so I could apply and further develop my childcare skills. I was partnered with Matthew, a 10-year-old with curly blond hair and blue eyes. He didn’t look different from other kids, but he had difficulty controlling his emotions, especially anger. His biggest problem was that he couldn’t go to the toilet himself. Every day I had to clean up his mess if he pooped in his pants. It was just like the “good old days” with my little brother before I successfully toilet-trained him.
Although I was never going to be able to toilet-train Matthew, I was able to change his life in another way. We had swimming three times a week, but Matthew was hopelessly afraid of the water. At first, Matthew just sat on the steps of the pool and did nothing. I pushed him slowly down the stairs until he was at last standing in the shallowest part of the pool. The next day, I pushed him a little further into the water. By the third day, he completely trusted me to take him into the pool. Maybe my large size also helped give him a sense of security. He did not have to be afraid of anything when a 200-pound guy was holding him tight. I felt so proud as I saw him standing there in the pool, happily playing with other kids in the water. The OSNF adult leaders told me that I was the only volunteer who had been able to take care of Matthew well. I think what made the difference is the belief I had in Matthew, like how I had always believed in my little brother.
Helping Matthew “grow” to overcome his fear of water made me realize things do not happen overnight. Real magic is a result of patience, and miracles happen when one believes in them.
19. How did the author feel about taking care of his brother
A. Tired. B. Joyful.
C. Proud. D. Stressed.
20. The author volunteered at OSNF because he wanted to ________.
A. use and improve his childcare skills
B create a friendly neighborhood
C. change the lives of other kids
D. get some work experience
21. With the author’s help, Matthew finally could ________.
A. control his emotions B. play with his friends
C. poop in the toilet D. stand in the pool
22. According to the author, what mattered most when he helped Matthew “grow”
A. His large size and strong body.
B. His experience and knowledge.
C. His patience and trust in Matthew.
D. His willingness to take care of his brother.

At the heart of psychology is understanding behavior, and understanding behavior has much to do with understanding the brain. Neuroscientists (神经系统科学家) have become more efficient at mapping the brain and have gained more understanding of how the brain develops and works. Truly, differences in behavior as we age and between genders, are most likely explained by the physical state of and changes in our brains.
Around the age of 12, it is believed that the areas of the brain that are used most will be strengthened and cells in the brain that are not used tend to die. What you do with your brain in your teen years probably decides how your brain will work for the rest of your life. If a teen spends endless hours watching TV, the neural connections that help the brain process TV are what will be strengthened. It is clear, therefore, that how young people spend their time is of great importance.
Surprisingly, and different from earlier beliefs, the brain is still developing even in the early twenties. Areas of the brain that are related to emotion, decision making, reasoning, and problem solving are still not fully developed. This may go some way toward explaining why car accident rates in young people are significantly higher than those among older people. Young people don’t have the necessary skills to make complex judgments while driving.
There are also differences in the way brains develop when it comes to gender. It appears that girls are ready to process more challenging information earlier than boys, with the area of the brain responsible for this activity peaking at the age of 14 to 16 in boys, a full two years later than girls. In addition, studies have shown that girls and boys process language input in different parts of their brains. Girls typically tend to do better than boys in language, which means that they have more brain matter responsible for language skills.
This kind of research raises important questions about how boys and girls should be taught in school to maximize (使最大化) their learning. For example, the idea of single-sex education should perhaps be taken into consideration. Experts say that we would do well to revisit the timing of the subjects taught in school, as some parts of the brain develop before others. Additionally, what we understand about the teenage brain should perhaps be taken into consideration when laws are being made with regard to the minimum (最低的) driving age.
23. According to the passage, young people are more likely to have car accidents because _______.
A. they fail to realize the importance of skills
B. they don’t have the necessary skills in driving
C. certain areas in their brains are not fully developed
D. their brains tend to be influenced by their emotions
24. What can we learn from the passage
A. Earlier beliefs show the brain is still developing in the early twenties.
B. Girls are better at language because they are devoted to language learning.
C. How people spend their time when they’re teenagers affects their future life.
D. Gender makes no difference when it comes to the physical state of the brain.
25. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that ________.
A. single-sex education may benefit teenagers
B. the time when school starts should be put off
C. lawmakers will lower the minimum driving age
D. the number of subjects in school might be changed
26. Which would be the best title for this passage
A. Age and the Brain B. Genders and the Brain
C. Mapping the Brain D. The Developing Brain

I always dreamed of pulling off the surprise prank (玩笑) of a lifetime. Well, thanks to a little determination, some luck, and the power of love, my dream became a reality.
My family is Canadian, although my sister studied in Australia. She was graduating just before Christmas, but because my school schedule was busy, I would not be able to make it down in time for her graduation. She was understandably disappointed, and I felt guilty that I couldn’t be there for her on this most special occasion.
While I was talking to my teacher the week before the big event, I mentioned that I would be missing my sister’s graduation. Surprisingly, she commented, “Well, if you want to go, I have no problem with it, so go ahead!” I couldn’t believe my luck! I nearly jumped for joy.
Immediately, I called the airline. Amazingly, even during the busy Christmas season, I was able to change my ticket to arrive the day before my sister’s graduation.
With this fantastic news, I was bursting to tell my sister. But, wait. For a grand surprise, I needed a much more dramatic arrival than just a ring of the doorbell. What if I could arrive in a box That would be the best Christmas present for my sister.
Although I was leaving in less than seventy-two hours, I started searching for delivery companies. The only one willing to go along with my Christmas surprise, was CouriersPlease. At first the manager said no, because Christmas was their busiest season. But then later, he kindly volunteered to deliver me himself.
Upon arrival in Australia the manager and his colleagues loaded me in the box and carried me all the way up to my sister’s, where they rang the doorbell and announced they had a delivery for her. I couldn’t see the look on my sister’s face, but I could tell from her voice that she was both shocked and excited to receive such a huge gift box. I will never forget the look on her face as she opened the box.
It was such a great Christmas present for my sister, that is, for me to be able to go to her graduation, and in the process, show her how much I loved her. It also served as a lesson for me: _____________________.
27. Why was the author unable to go to his sister’s graduation (不多于7个单词)
