When the famous scientist Albert Einstein was 16 years old, he imagined himself riding alongside a beam (束) of light. He used this picture in mind to help him when working out the “theory of relativity(相对论)”. “Imagination is more important than knowledge,” said Einstein.
Daydreaming, called “thought experiments” by Einstein, can make you have wild imaginings, like flying around in space. It lets your mind walk slowly around ideas, memories and experiences that aren’t happening right now. It means thinking ahead to a holiday or remembering how much you enjoyed a birthday party. According to China’s health authorities(权威机构), daydreaming for a while each day can improve your health and creativity.
Disappearing into a daydream lets your mind escape when things are difficult. It helps you deal with worries and fears. For example, imagining how you’re going to speak up in class is like practicing the scene in your head, which can make you feel calmer. Daydreaming also inspires creativity and lets you find new worlds where there are no limits (限制) to what you can do or who you are. Guo Qiang, an expert in thoughts and feelings, thinks we should all make time to daydream. “Thinking for pleasure can be a powerful tool to shape our feelings,” he said.
However, try not to let your mind be absent when you need to focus (聚焦) in class or cross the road. Instead, find a time when you don’t have to focus on anything, like going for a walk or brushing your teeth. Guo suggests you can start by focusing on a happy memory or imagining a future success, like scoring a goal in the World Cup.
To encourage creativity, think about interesting ideas and see where your mind takes you. Research shows that people often come up with more solutions to problems after they’ve taken a break. So next time you’re stuck with homework, stop for a moment and see where your daydreams take you.
5. Daydreaming can make people _________.
A. fly around B. walk slowly C. think freely D. be absent-minded
6. Guo Qiang first suggests _________.
A. escaping from the hard time B. looking for new worlds
C. finding time to imagine D. focusing on success
7. What is mentioned in paragraph 4
A. The steps to daydream. B. The things to daydream of.
C. The reasons for daydreaming. D. The meanings of daydreaming.
8. Daydreaming is talked about _________.
A. to remind people to have a mind break B. to suggest living at the moment
C. to find solutions to homework problems D. to show a science research result

Seagrass, an underwater plant that grows on the ocean floor, is very important for sea life. It also helps prevent global warming by storing carbon, a harmful gas. However, scientists don’t know exactly how much seagrass is at the bottom of the ocean. With the help of tiger sharks, a team of researchers has discovered the world’s largest seagrass meadow（grassland）on the seafloor near the Bahamas.
Seagrass meadows are home to many different kinds of fish, shellfish, and so on. Large sea animals, such as sharks, also spend a lot of time there looking for food. Seagrass can grow in very deep and dark waters, making it difficult to find. But sharks can dive deep into the water and get to the areas people cannot reach.
After noticing tiger sharks swimming through seagrass off the Bahamas, an American scientist worked with a seagrass expert, trying to map the locations of the plants. The researchers fitted seven tiger sharks with cameras. Since tiger sharks swim in groups, they placed satellite tracking tags（卫星跟踪器）on eight other sharks to find out exactly where the animals swam. They collected hours of videos of the tiger sharks swimming through seagrass.
The researchers found more seagrass growing near the Bahamas than they expected—in fact, they believe that there is more seagrass there than anywhere else on Earth. The new finding increased the total number of seagrass known to exist by 41%. However, more research is needed to discover the true size of the seagrass meadow.
Scientists often depend on findings from divers and boats to study about the underwater world, but this team found that working with animals improved their understanding. They are now placing cameras on sea turtles to study seagrass in the Red Sea. Hopefully, more mysteries about seagrass will be solved.
9. What are the scientists studying according to the passage
A. Sharks. B. The Bahamas. C. Seagrass. D. The Red Sea.
10. Which italic（斜体）word has the same meaning as the underlined word “map” in Paragraph 3
A. Is there a map of China in the classroom
B. Amy mapped out her plans on the new project.
C. It is the West lake that really puts Hangzhou on the map.
D. The police have successfully mapped where the missing boy is.
11. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about
A. The reason for the study. B. The method to do the research.
C. The finding of the research. D. The difficulty in carrying out the study.
12. Why does the writer write the passage
A. To tell the importance of saving seagrass.
B. To express the strong love for tiger sharks.
C. To share a new way of doing undersea research.
D. To introduce a special project on global warming.
参考答案：
本文主要介绍了海草的重要性以及科学家如何利用虎鲨进行海底研究，以及他们在巴哈马发现的世界最大的海草草地，这种创新的研究方法有利于增加人类对海底世界的了解。
9.细节理解题。根据“With the help of tiger sharks, a team of researchers has discovered the world’s largest seagrass meadow（grassland）on the seafloor near the Bahamas.”可知科学家在研究海草。故选C。
10.词义猜测题。根据“After noticing tiger sharks swimming through seagrass off the Bahamas, an American scientist worked with a seagrass expert, trying to map the locations of the plants”可知在注意到虎鲨在巴哈马群岛附近的海草中游动后，一位美国科学家与一位海草专家合作，试图绘制这些植物的位置图，故此处mapped意为“绘制……的位置”；分析四个选择可知，选项D“警方已成功绘制出失踪男孩的位置”中的mapped也以为“绘制……的位置”。故选D。
11.段落大意题。根据“The researchers found...”以及本段内容可知本段主要介绍了研究的发现。故选C。
12.主旨大意题。本文主要介绍了海草的重要性以及科学家如何利用虎鲨进行海底研究，以及他们在巴哈马发现的世界最大的海草草地，这种创新的研究方法有利于增加人类对海底世界的了解，故作者写本文的意图是分享这种新的海底研究方式。故选C。
第二节 小标题填空（共3小题；每小题3分，满分9分）
下面文章中有三处（第13~15题）需要添加小标题，请从以下选项（A、B、C和D）中选出符合各段意思的小标题，并在答题卡上将相对应选项的标号涂黑。选项中有一项是多余选项。
It can be hard for one person to protect the environment by himself. If you teenagers want to do something, like stopping pollution or protecting wildlife, you can gather like minded people in an environmental club. After all, saving the world is a big job. And with a good club, you and your friends can be up to the task.
13 . Some good ideas might be something like, “Save the whales!” But nothing says you can’t do more than one cause. Your club could do a different cause every month. For example, you could work to save polar bears in November, plant trees in December, and stop global warming in January.
14 This can be as simple as “The Environmental Club” or as cool as “Team Environment”. You can also use some other words, such as green, environmental, friendly, and of course, something that relates to your cause.
15 . Now that you have your club, you must find a place where all the members can get together to discuss your projects. It could be in the woods, in the park or in the classroom. If your parents allow it, you can choose your yard or even your living room as the place for your club meetings.
A. Name your club.
B. Find a clubhouse
C. Choose a cause
D. Choose members to hold all the meetings.
参考答案：
这是一篇说明文，文章主要讲述如何组织一个俱乐部来共同保护环境。
13. 根据上文“But nothing says you can’t do more than one cause.(但没有人说你不能做不止一件事)”可知，没有人说你不能做不止一件事，即可以做很多不同的事情，以及 “For example, you could work to save polar bears in November, plant trees in December, and stop global warming in January.(例如，你可以在11月拯救北极熊，在12月种树，在1月阻止全球变暖)等都是在说要选择一份事业；所以答案选C
14. 根据本段内容“This can be as simple as ‘The Environmental Club’ or as cool as ‘Team Environment’. You can also use some other words, such as green, environmental, friendly, and of course, something that relates to your cause.(这可以像‘环境俱乐部’一样简单，也可以像‘团队环境’一样酷。你也可以用一些其他的词，比如绿色的，环境的，友好的，当然，是和你的事业有关的东西)”可知，本段主要讲给俱乐部取一个名字，A项“给你的俱乐部取一个名字”符合语境，故选A。
15. 上文“Now that you have your club, you must find a place where all the members can get together to discuss your projects.(既然你有了你的俱乐部，你必须找到一个地方，所有的成员可以聚在一起讨论你的项目)”提到为俱乐部找到一个地点，故B项Find a clubhouse选择俱乐部会所符合题意。

Instead, find a time when you don’t have to focus on anything, like going for a walk or brushing your teeth. Guo suggests you can start by focusing on a happy memory or imagining a future success, like scoring a goal in the World Cup.
To encourage creativity, think about interesting ideas and see where your mind takes you. Research shows that people often come up with more solutions to problems after they’ve taken a break. So next time you’re stuck with homework, stop for a moment and see where your daydreams take you.
5. Daydreaming can make people _________.
A. fly around B. walk slowly C. think freely D. be absent-minded
6. Guo Qiang first suggests _________.
A. escaping from the hard time B. looking for new worlds
C. finding time to imagine D. focusing on success

C. The reasons for daydreaming. D. The meanings of daydreaming.
8. Daydreaming is talked about _________.
A. to remind people to have a mind break B. to suggest living at the moment

Seagrass, an underwater plant that grows on the ocean floor, is very important for sea life. It also helps prevent global warming by storing carbon, a harmful gas. However, scientists don’t know exactly how much seagrass is at the bottom of the ocean. With the help of tiger sharks, a team of researchers has discovered the world’s largest seagrass meadow（grassland）on the seafloor near the Bahamas.
Seagrass meadows are home to many different kinds of fish, shellfish, and so on. Large sea animals, such as sharks, also spend a lot of time there looking for food. Seagrass can grow in very deep and dark waters, making it difficult to find. But sharks can dive deep into the water and get to the areas people cannot reach.
After noticing tiger sharks swimming through seagrass off the Bahamas, an American scientist worked with a seagrass expert, trying to map the locations of the plants. The researchers fitted seven tiger sharks with cameras. Since tiger sharks swim in groups, they placed satellite tracking tags（卫星跟踪器）on eight other sharks to find out exactly where the animals swam. They collected hours of videos of the tiger sharks swimming through seagrass.
The researchers found more seagrass growing near the Bahamas than they expected—in fact, they believe that there is more seagrass there than anywhere else on Earth. The new finding increased the total number of seagrass known to exist by 41%. However, more research is needed to discover the true size of the seagrass meadow.
Scientists often depend on findings from divers and boats to study about the underwater world, but this team found that working with animals improved their understanding. They are now placing cameras on sea turtles to study seagrass in the Red Sea. Hopefully, more mysteries about seagrass will be solved.
9. What are the scientists studying according to the passage
A. Sharks. B. The Bahamas. C. Seagrass. D. The Red Sea.
10. Which italic（斜体）word has the same meaning as the underlined word “map” in Paragraph 3
A. Is there a map of China in the classroom

D. The police have successfully mapped where the missing boy is.
11. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about
A. The reason for the study. B. The method to do the research.
C. The finding of the research. D. The difficulty in carrying out the study.
12. Why does the writer write the passage
A. To tell the importance of saving seagrass.
B. To express the strong love for tiger sharks.
C. To share a new way of doing undersea research.
D. To introduce a special project on global warming.
第二节 小标题填空（共3小题；每小题3分，满分9分）
下面文章中有三处（第13~15题）需要添加小标题，请从以下选项（A、B、C和D）中选出符合各段意思的小标题，并在答题卡上将相对应选项的标号涂黑。选项中有一项是多余选项。
It can be hard for one person to protect the environment by himself. If you teenagers want to do something, like stopping pollution or protecting wildlife, you can gather like minded people in an environmental club. After all, saving the world is a big job. And with a good club, you and your friends can be up to the task.
13 . Some good ideas might be something like, “Save the whales!” But nothing says you can’t do more than one cause. Your club could do a different cause every month. For example, you could work to save polar bears in November, plant trees in December, and stop global warming in January.
14 This can be as simple as “The Environmental Club” or as cool as “Team Environment”. You can also use some other words, such as green, environmental, friendly, and of course, something that relates to your cause.
15 . Now that you have your club, you must find a place where all the members can get together to discuss your projects. It could be in the woods, in the park or in the classroom. If your parents allow it, you can choose your yard or even your living room as the place for your club meetings.
A. Name your club.
B. Find a clubhouse
C. Choose a cause
D. Choose members to hold all the meetings.

When the famous scientist Albert Einstein was 16 years old, he imagined himself riding alongside a beam (束) of light. He used this picture in mind to help him when working out the “theory of relativity(相对论)”. “Imagination is more important than knowledge,” said Einstein.
Daydreaming, called “thought experiments” by Einstein, can make you have wild imaginings, like flying around in space. It lets your mind walk slowly around ideas, memories and experiences that aren’t happening right now. It means thinking ahead to a holiday or remembering how much you enjoyed a birthday party. According to China’s health authorities(权威机构), daydreaming for a while each day can improve your health and creativity.
Disappearing into a daydream lets your mind escape when things are difficult. It helps you deal with worries and fears. For example, imagining how you’re going to speak up in class is like practicing the scene in your head, which can make you feel calmer. Daydreaming also inspires creativity and lets you find new worlds where there are no limits (限制) to what you can do or who you are. Guo Qiang, an expert in thoughts and feelings, thinks we should all make time to daydream. “Thinking for pleasure can be a powerful tool to shape our feelings,” he said.
However, try not to let your mind be absent when you need to focus (聚焦) in class or cross the road. Instead, find a time when you don’t have to focus on anything, like going for a walk or brushing your teeth. Guo suggests you can start by focusing on a happy memory or imagining a future success, like scoring a goal in the World Cup.
To encourage creativity, think about interesting ideas and see where your mind takes you. Research shows that people often come up with more solutions to problems after they’ve taken a break. So next time you’re stuck with homework, stop for a moment and see where your daydreams take you.
5. Daydreaming can make people _________.
