Most modern hearing aids have some serious shortcomings:
* Everybody notices them — they’ll make you look 20 years older as soon as you put them on.
* They collect all sounds from everywhere — which makes hearing your friends in a restaurant or crowded room impossible and can cause even more hearing loss!
Fortunately, there is a better way. Soundwise uses advanced technology that was specially designed to pick up low voices, so hearing your loved ones or the television so much clearer is no problem.
No more afraid of going to noisy restaurants movie theaters, or crowded places. You can hear your friends and enjoy life thanks to Soundwise.

The brain might be the place where memories are stored, and its health and efficiency depend a lot on the general health of the body. Put simply, what’s good for the body is good for the brain.
Regular physical exercise doesn’t just build muscles and keep weight in check. It also protects memory and thinking skills. Research at the University of British Columbia found that regular aerobic exercise, the kind that increases your heart rate, also increases the size of the brain’s hippocampus (海马体). And a University of Maryland study found that memory improved in older adults after a 12-week exercise program.
If you’re not into running or even fast walking, how about dancing It turns out that taking a dance class may be one of the best activities you can do for your brain. A research team at the Albert Einstein School of Medicine looked at the effects of physical activity on preventing memory loss, and found that ballroom dancing was particularly effective, leading to enhancements in memory, attention and focus.
“Dancing combines physical activity, learning something new, and social engagement,” says Dr. Salinas, a neurologist at NYU Langone Health. “The more of these factors an activity has, the better off you will be.”
Sleep is also important for memory formation, especially long-term memory formation. When you’re asleep, the brain runs the tape of what it recorded during the day, gets rid of information that isn’t relevant and then stores other information for the long term.
Besides, doing those mentally engaging activities, such as playing crossword puzzles, can also help keep our minds active. Learning a new language is often regarded as an ideal activity for brain health. “Doing something new and challenging contributes to forming new pathways in the brain, helping information go from one part of the brain to another,” says Dr. Salinas.
While genetics (基因学) and family history play some roles in the risk of memory problems, so do plenty of other factors. Addressing any of these may make your memory sharper.
4. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage
(①—Paragraph 1; ②—Paragraph 2; ③—Paragraph 3; ④—Paragraph 4; ⑤—Paragraph 5; ⑥—paragraph 6; ⑦—Paragraph 7)
A. B.
C. D.
5. What does the underlined word “enhancements” in Paragraph 3 mean
A. Improvements. B. Effects. C. Troubles. D. Skills.
6. Why does the author mention Dr. Salinas’ words in Paragraph 4
A. To explain why dancing is one of the best activities for brain.
B. To show which activity is likely to bring us the most benefits.
C. To suggest that we should dance instead of doing other exercise.
D. To conclude that the more activities we do, the healthier we will be.
7. Why is learning a new language regarded as an ideal activity for brain health
A. Because it helps store information. B. Because it is not very challenging.
C. Because it makes use of pathways. D. Because it keeps our minds active.
【答案】4. C 5. A 6. A 7. D
【解析】

【6题详解】
推理判断题。第三段中“It turns out that taking a dance class may be one of the best activities you can do for your brain.(事实证明，参加舞蹈课可能是你能做的对大脑最好的活动之一)”提到，跳舞对大脑有好处，根据第四段“‘Dancing combines physical activity, learning something new, and social engagement,’ says Dr. Salinas, a neurologist at NYU Langone Health. ‘The more of these factors an activity has, the better off you will be.’(‘跳舞结合了身体活动、学习新事物和社会参与，’纽约大学朗格尼健康中心的神经学家Salinas博士说。‘一项活动包含的这些因素越多，你就会越好。’)”可知，作者提及Salinas说的话是为了解释跳舞对大脑有好处的原因，故选A。

In 2019, Air Company gained public attention when it produced vodka (伏特加) from carbon in the air, in order to reduce the amount of the harmful greenhouse gas in the atmosphere. Today, the company has begun using the same process to make fuel (燃料) for airplanes.
Air Company’s clean aircraft fuel, which was recently tested, could some day help the airline industry achieve its goal of net zero carbon emissions (排放) by 2050. Currently, the airline industry accounts for about 3% of total global carbon emissions each year, and mainly uses traditional, fossil-based fuels.
A number of producers of clean aircraft fuel have come out in recent years, many of whom use something like plant material and cooking oil. But Air Company’s production process starts by pulling harmful carbon emissions out of the air.
The company first harvests carbon, mostly from industrial settings. It then takes water, separates the hydrogen from the oxygen, and puts the carbon together with the hydrogen and other mixtures. After that, it distills (蒸馏) that solution down. The final products are ethyl alcohol (乙醇) to make the company’s vodka and other products such as perfume, as well as paraffin, which forms the basis of its aircraft fuel.
By the time a plane has flown using Air Company’s fuel, it will have given off the same amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) back into the atmosphere as was acquired to make the fuel.
“Already, some of the world’s biggest airlines are supporting Air Company’s dream. They have agreed to buy millions of gallons of its fuel in the coming years.” The company manager says, “However, to get to those large industrial markets like aircraft fuel, traditionally known as the hottest industry to get green, is a long way to go. It’s going to take time, money and effort.”
8. What can we learn from the first two paragraphs
A. Air Company is famous for producing vodka.
B. Air Company no longer uses traditional fuels.
C. Air Company’s fuel is likely to be environmentally friendly.
D. Air Company accounts for 3% of total global carbon emissions.
9. What does the underlined part “that solution” refer to in Paragraph 4
A. Ethyl alcohol forming the aircraft fuel.
B. Hydrogen that is separated from water.
C. Oxygen, hydrogen, carbon and ethyl alcohol.
D. Mix of carbon, hydrogen and other mixtures.
10. What can be inferred from the manager’s words in the last paragraph
A. Major Airlines have already put Air Company’s fuel into use.
B. It takes time for Air Company’s fuel to be used on regular flights.
C. The fuel produced by Air Company is sure to be very expensive.
D. Air company alone will be able to occupy the aircraft fuel markets.
11. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. Air Company: Make Air Travel Green
B. Air Company’s Carbon Production Dream
C. Air Company’s Environmental Supporters
D. Air Company: Make Traditional Fuels Available
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. B 11. A
【解析】

【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“In 2019, Air Company gained public attention when it produced vodka (伏特加) from carbon in the air, in order to reduce the amount of the harmful greenhouse gas in the atmosphere. Today, the company has begun using the same process to make fuel (燃料) for airplanes.(2019年，为了减少大气中有害温室气体的含量，Air Company利用空气中的碳生产伏特加，引起了公众的关注。今天，该公司已经开始使用相同的工艺来制造飞机燃料)”和第二段中“Air Company’s clean aircraft fuel, which was recently tested, could some day help the airline industry achieve its goal of net zero carbon emissions (排放) by 2050.(Air Company的清洁飞机燃料最近经过测试，有朝一日可能帮助航空业实现到2050年实现净零碳排放的目标)”可知，Air Company使用空气中的碳生产飞机燃料，该燃料经过测试，有朝一日可能帮助航空业实现到2050年实现净零碳排放的目标。由此可知，Air Company的燃料很可能是环保的。故选C。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段中“It then takes water, separates the hydrogen from the oxygen, and puts the carbon together with the hydrogen and other mixtures. After that, it distills (蒸馏) that solution down. (然后它吸收水，将氢和氧分离，将碳和氢以及其他混合物放在一起。之后，它将该溶液蒸馏出来)”可知，“溶液”指的是上文提到的“碳和氢以及其他混合物的混合溶液”。故选D。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“However, to get to those large industrial markets like aircraft fuel, traditionally known as the hottest industry to get green, is a long way to go. It’s going to take time, money and effort.(然而，要进入像飞机燃料这样的大型工业市场，传统上被认为是最热门的绿色工业，还有很长的路要走。这需要时间、金钱和努力)”可推知，Air Company生产的燃料被运用于常规的航班还需要时间，故选B。
【11题详解】

Why Do Millennials (千禧一代) Keep Changing Jobs
Millennials have been labelled as the “job-hopping generation”. In fact, a recent survey showed that 49% of millennials would leave their job within the next two years! Observers from older generations may think it is caused by the youth’s laziness. However, if we search deeper, there is more than meets the eye.
Instead of the traditional and practical reasons of changing jobs, such as to get better salaries or greater job stability (稳定), many millennials are inspired by value-driven goals. For example, more have to seek new opportunities whenever they lack a sense of belonging in their present jobs. Additionally, some also leave their positions for companies which better suit their value system. Therefore, it is clear that many millennials do not only consider their jobs as a source of income, but in fact, seek meaning and professional achievement in their daily jobs.
Clearly, the fearlessness of millennials in seeking job opportunities has been inspired by new business models. With the rise of online platforms, millennials who prefer work-life balance and flexibility have been attracted towards such jobs. Moreover, the increase of social media has also created more career paths. From food and travel bloggers to YouTube content creators, more millennials are leaving boring desk-bound jobs to look for more untraditional, but certainly attractive, careers.
However, people have different opinions on job-hopping. While some employers value rich experience and skills that job-hopping brings about, many of them still look down upon job-hopping. Some even argue in disappointment that the youths of today are lazy, unable to bear hardships and too self-centered.
The former American President Jimmy Carter once said, “Human identity is no longer defined (定义) by what one does but by what one owns.” Indeed, his comment still rings true today. Rather than allow traditional models of success in society to define our youths, the millennial generation should be encouraged to define new horizons of success by making the right career choices guided by the right values.
12. Why are Millennials more likely to move to new jobs
A. Because they are unwilling to work very hard.
B. Because they want to realize their self-worth.
C. Because they hate pressure from present jobs.
D. Because they need higher income and position.
13. What does the author want to show in Paragraph 3
A. The rapid development of social media promotes new career paths.
B. There are fewer professions available to Millennials on the Internet.
C. There are factors contributing to Millennials’ flexible job-changing.
D. The tiring and boring jobs prevent Millennials staying in one position.
14. What may those against job-changing think of Millennials
A. Courageous and noble. B. Lazy and self-centered.
C. Anxious and unconfident. D. Creative and hard-working.
15. What is the author’s attitude towards Millennials’ career choice
A. Negative. B. Doubtful. C. Positive. D. Concerned.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. B 15. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要介绍了了千禧一代为什么频繁换工作。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Instead of the traditional and practical reasons of changing jobs, such as to get better salaries or greater job stability (稳定), many millennials are inspired by value-driven goals.(与换工作的传统和实际原因（如获得更高的薪水或更稳定的工作）不同，许多千禧一代受到价值驱动目标的激励)”以及“Additionally, some also leave their positions for companies which better suit their value system.(此外，一些人也离开了他们的职位，去了更适合他们价值体系的公司)”可知，千禧一代更有可能跳槽，是因为他们想要实现自我价值，故选B。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段首句“Instead of the traditional and practical reasons of changing jobs, such as to get better salaries or greater job stability (稳定), many millennials are inspired by value-driven goals. For example, more have to seek new opportunities whenever they lack a sense of belonging in their present jobs. Additionally, some also leave their positions for companies which better suit their value system.(与换工作的传统和实际原因（如获得更高的薪水或更稳定的工作）不同，许多千禧一代受到价值驱动目标的激励。例如，当他们在目前的工作中缺乏归属感时，更多的人不得不寻找新的机会。此外，一些人也离开了他们的职位，去了更适合他们价值体系的公司)”可知，作者在本段想要表明促成千禧一代灵活跳槽的因素有很多，故选C。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“Some even argue in disappointment that the youths of today are lazy, unable to bear hardships and too self-centered.(有些人甚至失望地认为，今天的年轻人懒惰，不能吃苦，太以自我为中心)”可知，反对换工作的人认为千禧一代懒惰且以自我为中心，故选B。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Rather than allow traditional models of success in society to define our youths, the millennial generation should be encouraged to define new horizons of success by making the right career choices guided by the right values.(我们不应该让社会上传统的成功模式来定义我们的年轻人，而应该鼓励千禧一代在正确的价值观指导下做出正确的职业选择，从而定义成功的新视野)”可知，作者对于千禧一代的职业选择持积极态度，故选C。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了南京的超级汉服迷张泽宁通过将古画变成汉服来复兴汉服文化。
【36题详解】
考查冠词。句意：十年前，南京的超级汉服迷张泽宁受到古画的启发，决定研究汉服，将古画变成可穿戴的作品。根据空后的super big fan of hanfu可知，这里泛指一个超级汉服迷，且super的发音以辅音音素开头，所以应用不定冠词a。故填a。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意参考上题。分析句子结构，本句的谓语是decided，所以空处应用非谓语动词。逻辑主语Zhang Zening和change之间是主谓关系，所以应用现在分词，作状语。故填changing。
【38题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意：从大学毕业后，张就花了大量的时间用不同的材料做化学实验。根据时间状语“Since graduating from college”可知，这里可用现在完成时，表示动作从过去一直延续到现在，也可用现在完成进行时，表示动作从过去一直持续到现在，而且还有可能继续下去。主语是Zhang，所以谓语应用单数形式。故填has spent/has been spending。
【39题详解】
考查介词。句意：然后，她开始设计不同风格的服装，并亲自处理印刷。in person意为“亲自”。故填in。
【40题详解】
考查副词。句意：2015年前后，张独立研究汉服修复的过程。空处应用副词，修饰动词focused。independently意为“独立地，独自地”。故填independently。
【41题详解】
考查定语从句或连词。句意：那一年，她参观了敦煌，那里美丽的壁画吸引了她。分析句子结构，空处引导一个非限制性定语从句，指代先行词Dunhuang，且在从句中作地点状语，所以应用where引导。本句也可看作两个并列句，用and连接，表示并列。故填where/and。
【42题详解】
考查名词的数。句意：她的非凡技巧吸引了年轻人的兴趣，让他们有机会在参观博物馆时穿上具有历史重要意义的服装。costume意为“服装”，结合them可知，这里表示复数，应用名词复数。故填costumes。
【43题详解】
考查时态、语态和主谓一致。句意：张观察到，过去穿着它会引来好奇的目光，但现在它经常在街头被看到。根据now可知，这里应用一般现在时。主语it和spot之间是动宾关系，应用被动语态，且谓语应用单数。故填is spotted。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：我相信没有必要太过用力督促下一代接受汉服。there’s no need to do sth.意为“没有必要做某事”。故填to push。
【45题详解】
考查代词。句意：汉服作为我们民族服装，当孩子们欣赏它的美丽时，很可能会自然地受到喜爱。空处应用形容词性物主代词its，作定语修饰beauty。故填its。

48. The teacher is talking to the student ________ homework hasn’t been turned in. （用适当的词填空）

50. Close friends are those who you can really depend on and with ________ you have the deepest relationships. （用适当的词填空）
【答案】whom
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句。句意：亲密的朋友是那些你真正可以依赖的人，也是你关系最深的人。分析句子结构，先行词those后面是and连接的两个并列定语从句，先行词指人，且空处在从句中作with的宾语，所以应用whom引导。故填whom。
51. We were about to leave ________ one of our friends called and said he would visit us soon. (用适当的词填空）
【答案】when
【解析】
【详解】考查固定句型。句意：我们正准备离开，这时我们的一个朋友打电话来说他很快就会来看我们。be about to do...when...是固定句型，意为“正要做某事，此时……”，因此空格处是when，故填when。
52. Andy realized his mistake ________ promised that he would not do that again. （用适当的词填空）
【答案】and
【解析】
【详解】考查连词。句意：安迪意识到了自己的错误，并保证不再那样做。分析句子结构并根据句意，realized和promised是两个并列的谓语，在意义上表示并列，应用and连接。故填and。
53. Not only setting clear goals but also having a positive attitude ________ (be) a must for anyone who wants to achieve success. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】is

54. After graduation, he joined the very organization ________ was set up to help the seniors. （用适当的词填空）
【答案】that
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句。句意：毕业后，他加入了为帮助老年人而成立的组织。分析句子结构可知，空处引导定语从句，先行词是organization在从句中作主语，当先行词前有the very修饰时，只能用that引导。故填that。
55. I am chatting with the hairdresser while my hair ________ (cut).(所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】is being cut
【解析】
【详解】考查时态，语态和主谓一致。句意：理发时，我正在和理发师聊天。while引导的时间状语从句用现在进行时，头发是被剪，因此空格处是现在进行时的被动语态，hair是不可数名词，因此空格处是is being cut。故填is being cut。
第四节 完成句子（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分）
根据所给汉语在空格里填上本学期教材中所学的表达，使句意完整，语法正确（每空一词，错一空此题不得分）。

Soundwise, the world’s most affordable, advanced in-ear hearing aid uses advanced technology so powerful that it can even pick up a low voice across the room. Here is how you can get them today to hear more clearly and enjoy chatting with others.
Most modern hearing aids have some serious shortcomings:
* Everybody notices them — they’ll make you look 20 years older as soon as you put them on
* They collect all sounds from everywhere — which makes hearing your friends in a restaurant or crowded room impossible and can cause even more hearing loss!
Fortunately, there is a better way. Soundwise uses advanced technology that was specially designed to pick up low voices, so hearing your loved ones or the television so much clearer is no problem.
No more afraid of going to noisy restaurants, movie theaters, or crowded places. You can hear your friends and enjoy life thanks to Soundwise.
These hearing aids are unbelievably advanced:
* Advanced noise cancelation (取消)
* Ultra lightweight and hides in the ear completely
* Backed by Certified Hearing Professionals

And the best part: it costs only 10% of what a doctor will charge you for hearing aids.

The brain might be the place where memories are stored, and its health and efficiency depend a lot on the general health of the body. Put simply, what’s good for the body is good for the brain.
Regular physical exercise doesn’t just build muscles and keep weight in check. It also protects memory and thinking skills. Research at the University of British Columbia found that regular aerobic exercise, the kind that increases your heart rate, also increases the size of the brain’s hippocampus (海马体). And a University of Maryland study found that memory improved in older adults after a 12-week exercise program.
If you’re not into running or even fast walking, how about dancing It turns out that taking a dance class may be one of the best activities you can do for your brain. A research team at the Albert Einstein School of Medicine looked at the effects of physical activity on preventing memory loss, and found that ballroom dancing was particularly effective, leading to enhancements in memory, attention and focus.
“Dancing combines physical activity, learning something new, and social engagement,” says Dr. Salinas, a neurologist at NYU Langone Health. “The more of these factors an activity has, the better off you will be.”
Sleep is also important for memory formation, especially long-term memory formation. When you’re asleep, the brain runs the tape of what it recorded during the day, gets rid of information that isn’t relevant and then stores other information for the long term.
Besides, doing those mentally engaging activities, such as playing crossword puzzles, can also help keep our minds active. Learning a new language is often regarded as an ideal activity for brain health. “Doing something new and challenging contributes to forming new pathways in the brain, helping information go from one part of the brain to another,” says Dr. Salinas.
While genetics (基因学) and family history play some roles in the risk of memory problems, so do plenty of other factors. Addressing any of these may make your memory sharper.

(①—Paragraph 1; ②—Paragraph 2; ③—Paragraph 3; ④—Paragraph 4; ⑤—Paragraph 5; ⑥—paragraph 6; ⑦—Paragraph 7)

In 2019, Air Company gained public attention when it produced vodka (伏特加) from carbon in the air, in order to reduce the amount of the harmful greenhouse gas in the atmosphere. Today, the company has begun using the same process to make fuel (燃料) for airplanes.
Air Company’s clean aircraft fuel, which was recently tested, could some day help the airline industry achieve its goal of net zero carbon emissions (排放) by 2050. Currently, the airline industry accounts for about 3% of total global carbon emissions each year, and mainly uses traditional, fossil-based fuels.
A number of producers of clean aircraft fuel have come out in recent years, many of whom use something like plant material and cooking oil. But Air Company’s production process starts by pulling harmful carbon emissions out of the air.
The company first harvests carbon, mostly from industrial settings. It then takes water, separates the hydrogen from the oxygen, and puts the carbon together with the hydrogen and other mixtures. After that, it distills (蒸馏) that solution down. The final products are ethyl alcohol (乙醇) to make the company’s vodka and other products such as perfume, as well as paraffin, which forms the basis of its aircraft fuel.
By the time a plane has flown using Air Company’s fuel, it will have given off the same amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) back into the atmosphere as was acquired to make the fuel.
“Already some of the world’s biggest airlines are supporting Air Company’s dream. They have agreed to buy millions of gallons of its fuel in the coming years.” The company manager says, “However, to get to those large industrial markets like aircraft fuel, traditionally known as the hottest industry to get green, is a long way to go. It’s going to take time, money and effort.”
8 What can we learn from the first two paragraphs
A. Air Company is famous for producing vodka.
B. Air Company no longer uses traditional fuels.
C. Air Company’s fuel is likely to be environmentally friendly.
D. Air Company accounts for 3% of total global carbon emissions.
9. What does the underlined part “that solution” refer to in Paragraph 4
A. Ethyl alcohol forming the aircraft fuel.
B. Hydrogen that is separated from water.
C. Oxygen, hydrogen, carbon and ethyl alcohol.
D. Mix of carbon, hydrogen and other mixtures.
10. What can be inferred from the manager’s words in the last paragraph
A. Major Airlines have already put Air Company’s fuel into use.
B. It takes time for Air Company’s fuel to be used on regular flights.
C. The fuel produced by Air Company is sure to be very expensive.
D. Air company alone will be able to occupy the aircraft fuel markets.
11. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. Air Company: Make Air Travel Green
B. Air Company’s Carbon Production Dream
C. Air Company’s Environmental Supporters
D. Air Company: Make Traditional Fuels Available
D
Why Do Millennials (千禧一代) Keep Changing Jobs
Millennials have been labelled as the “job-hopping generation”. In fact, a recent survey showed that 49% of millennials would leave their job within the next two years! Observers from older generations may think it is caused by the youth’s laziness. However, if we search deeper, there is more than meets the eye.
Instead of the traditional and practical reasons of changing jobs, such as to get better salaries or greater job stability (稳定), many millennials are inspired by value-driven goals. For example, more have to seek new opportunities whenever they lack a sense of belonging in their present jobs. Additionally, some also leave their positions for companies which better suit their value system. Therefore, it is clear that many millennials do not only consider their jobs as a source of income, but in fact, seek meaning and professional achievement in their daily jobs.
Clearly, the fearlessness of millennials in seeking job opportunities has been inspired by new business models. With the rise of online platforms, millennials who prefer work-life balance and flexibility have been attracted towards such jobs. Moreover, the increase of social media has also created more career paths. From food and travel bloggers to YouTube content creators, more millennials are leaving boring desk-bound jobs to look for more untraditional, but certainly attractive, careers.
However, people have different opinions on job-hopping. While some employers value rich experience and skills that job-hopping brings about, many of them still look down upon job-hopping. Some even argue in disappointment that the youths of today are lazy, unable to bear hardships and too self-centered.
The former American President Jimmy Carter once said, “Human identity is no longer defined (定义) by what one does but by what one owns.” Indeed, his comment still rings true today. Rather than allow traditional models of success in society to define our youths, the millennial generation should be encouraged to define new horizons of success by making the right career choices guided by the right values.
12. Why are Millennials more likely to move to new jobs
A. Because they are unwilling to work very hard.
B. Because they want to realize their self-worth.
C. Because they hate pressure from present jobs.
D. Because they need higher income and position.
13. What does the author want to show in Paragraph 3
A. The rapid development of social media promotes new career paths.
B. There are fewer professions available to Millennials on the Internet.
C. There are factors contributing to Millennials’ flexible job-changing.
D. The tiring and boring jobs prevent Millennials staying in one position.
14. What may those against job-changing think of Millennials
A. Courageous and noble. B. Lazy and self-centered.
C. Anxious and unconfident. D. Creative and hard-working.
15. What is the author’s attitude towards Millennials’ career choice
A. Negative. B. Doubtful. C. Positive. D. Concerned.
