As archaeologists (考古学家) examined ancient tombs in Turfan in western China, they discovered some surprisingly well-preserved and familiar relics. Though hardened from over 1,000 years, there sat little dumplings.
Exactly who invented dumplings remains a mystery. But some scholars suspect they were first spread by nomadic (游牧的) Turkic peoples living in western China and Central Asia. This is thought to be the case because “manti,” meaning “dumpling” or “steamed bun” in many Turkic languages, appears to be the root word for dumpling in several other languages. Ancient Turkic people probably filled their dumplings with meat. But it’s unclear when this practice began, or whether they learned the art of dumpling-making from others. However this happened, dumplings certainly gathered steam in ancient China.
Dumplings continued to take off and diversify in China over the next thousand years. Instead of the traditional meat filling, some communities chose vegetarian (素食) dumplings. People developed new cooking methods. The relationship between Chinese dumplings and those in other areas is tricky to trace, but food historians have made their best guesses based on available clues.
Besides Turkic tribes, some scholars believe that the Mongol Empire also contributed to the spread of dumplings, perhaps introducing them to parts of Eastern Europe. These dumplings could have come by way of China or directly from some of the Turkic peoples the Mongols hired to run their empire. One theory is that this gave rise to dumplings like pelmeni in Russia, pierogi in Poland and vareniki in Ukraine. The Mongol Empire also controlled Korea and might have likewise introduced dumplings there. Later, after Chinese dumpling varieties were introduced to more countries, English speakers began calling them dumplings, which means “little lumps”. During the Second World War, Chinese “jiaozi” were brought to Japan. So what about the Italian dumpling-like pasta Some historians think it might be brought by Arab conquerors.
It’s unlikely that all dumpling dishes came from the same root tradition. However, we can appreciate the mysterious historical web that made dumplings so various.
24. What made Turkic peoples suspected to first spread dumplings
A. The languages they used. B. Their eating habits.
C. Their dumpling-making skills. D. The newly found tombs.
25. What does the phrase “gathered steam” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Originated. B. Stabilized. C. Got well-cooked. D. Became popular.
26. What does paragraph 4 focus on
A. The spreading process of dumplings. B. The possible origins of dumplings.
C. Differences between various dumplings. D. Reasons for the popularity of dumplings.
27. Which of the following best describe dumplings according to the passage
A. Delicious. B. Diverse. C. Unusual. D. Regional.
【答案】24. A 25. D 26. A 27. B
【解析】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了有关饺子传播的一些历史。
24. 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“But some scholars suspect they were first spread by nomadic(游牧的) Turkic peoples living in western China and Central Asia. This is thought to be the case because ‘manti,’ meaning ‘dumpling’ or ‘steamed bun’ in many Turkic languages, appears to be the root word for dumpling in several other languages.(但一些学者怀疑，它们最早是由生活在中国西部和中亚的突厥游牧民族传播的。之所以会被认为是这种情况，是因为‘manti’在许多突厥语中的意思是‘饺子’或‘馒头’，在其他几种语言中似乎是饺子的词根。)”可知，由于突厥语的“manti”在其他几种语言中似乎是饺子的词根，所以突厥民族被怀疑是最初传播饺子的人。故选A。
25. 短语猜测题。根据第三段中的“Dumplings continued to take off and diversify in China over the next thousand years. (在接下来的一千年里，饺子在中国继续流行并多样化。)”可知，在突厥之后的一千年里，饺子继续受到人们的喜爱，并且出现了多种形式，由此可推测出，“dumplings certainly gathered steam in ancient China”表示的是饺子无疑在古代中国很受欢迎。gather steam意为“受欢迎，流行”，与become popular的意思最接近。故选D。
26. 主旨大意题。根据第四段中的“Besides Turkic tribes, some scholars believe that the Mongol Empire also contributed to the spread of dumplings, perhaps introducing them to parts of Eastern Europe.(除了突厥部落，一些学者认为蒙古帝国也对饺子的传播做出了贡献，也许将饺子引入了东欧的部分地区。)”和“The Mongol Empire also controlled Korea and might have likewise introduced dumplings there. Later, after Chinese dumpling varieties were introduced to more countries, English speakers began calling them dumplings, which means ‘little lumps’. During the Second World War, Chinese ‘jiaozi’ were brought to Japan. (蒙古帝国也控制了朝鲜，并可能在那里引入了饺子。后来，随着中国饺子品种被引入更多的国家，讲英语的人开始称它们为饺子，意思是‘小肿块’。第二次世界大战期间，中国的‘饺子’被带到了日本。)”可知，第四段主要讲述了饺子的传播过程。故选A。
27. 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Dumplings continued to take off and diversify in China over the next thousand years. Instead of the traditional meat filling, some communities chose vegetarian (素食) dumplings. People developed new cooking methods. (在接下来的一千年里，饺子在中国继续流行并多样化。一些社会选择了素食饺子，而不是传统的肉馅。人们开发了新的烹饪方法。)”和最后一段中的“However, we can appreciate the mysterious historical web that made dumplings so various.(然而，我们可以欣赏到使饺子如此多样化的神秘历史之网。)”可知，饺子经过千年来的发展演变，有了不同的口味和烹饪方法，由此可推测出，用“多样化”（diverse）最能描述饺子。故选B。
C
A new study has found that smiling at London bus drivers increases happiness. However, on the Number 24 bus to Hampstead Heath, Londoners are sceptical. “Bus drivers,” says Liz Hands, a passenger, “are generally annoying.”
It might seem improbable that a report on London’s buses could change behaviour. But it has happened before. London’s buses have an underappreciated role in the history of medical science. In the 1940s, a single study of London’s transport workers transformed epidemiology (流行病学), medicine and the way we live now. Every time you go on a run, check your step-count, or take the stairs instead of the lift, you are following a path pioneered by the feet of the workers on London’s buses.
In the late 1940s, doctors were worried. Britain, like many rich countries, was suffering from an “epidemic” of heart disease and no one knew why. Various hypotheses, such as stress, were suggested; but one thing that was not exercising researchers was exercise. The idea that health and exercise were linked “wasn’t the accepted fact that we know today”, says Nick Wareham, a professor of epidemiology at Cambridge University. Some even felt that “too much physical activity was a bad thing for your health”. Miners and farmers who did physical exercise also suffered from various diseases and died young.
At this time a young doctor called Jerry Morris started to suspect that the increasing deaths from heart disease might be linked to occupation. He began studying the medical records of 31,000 London transport workers. His findings were breathtaking: conductors, who spent their time running up and down stairs, had an approximately 30% lower possibility of disease than drivers, who sat down all day. Exercise was keeping people alive.
Morris’s research was eventually published in 1953, just three years after a study by Richard Doll proving the link between smoking and lung cancer. Morris’s work had consequences both big and small. Morris now also took up exercise, handing his jacket to his daughter and just running. “People thought I was bananas.” Slowly, the rest of the world took off its jacket and followed.
28. Why does the author mention the new study in the first paragraph
A. To clarify a concept. B. To introduce the topic.
C. To present the argument. D. To provide an example.
29. What does the underlined part “exercising researchers” in Paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Encouraging researchers to work out. B. Helping with researchers’ inquiry.
C. Hold back researchers’ progress. D. Drawing researchers’ attention.
30. How did Morris conduct his study on the transport employees
A. By carrying out survey. B. By observing their routines.
C. By doing medical examinations. D. By analyzing the medical data.
31. What is the best title for the text
A. Smiling and Its Effects on London Bus Drivers.
B. The Evolution of London’s Transportation System.
C. How London Bus Drivers Led the world to exercise.
D. What Londoners Think about Studies on Bus Drivers.
【答案】28. B 29. D 30. D 31. C
【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了伦敦公共汽车上的工人曾经改变了人们如今的生活方式，曾经人们认为锻炼有害身体，结果对工人的研究发现锻炼使人保持活力。
28. 推理判断题。根据第一段“A new study has found that smiling at London bus drivers increases happiness. However, on the Number 24 bus to Hampstead Heath, Londoners are sceptical. “Bus drivers,” says Liz Hands, a passenger, “are generally annoying.”(一项新的研究发现，对伦敦公交司机微笑会增加幸福感。然而，在前往汉普斯特德希思的24路公共汽车上，伦敦人持怀疑态度。“公交车司机，”乘客Liz Hands说，“通常都很烦人。”)”以及第二段“In the 1940s, a single study of London’s transport workers transformed epidemiology (流行病学), medicine and the way we live now. Every time you go on a run, check your step-count, or take the stairs instead of the lift, you are following a path pioneered by the feet of the workers on London’s buses.(20世纪40年代，一项针对伦敦运输工人的研究改变了流行病学、医学和我们现在的生活方式。每当你跑步、检查步数、或走楼梯而不是乘电梯时，你都是在追随伦敦公共汽车上工人们的脚步)”可推知，作者在第一段提到了这项新研究是为了引入文章话题。故选B。
29. 词句猜测题。根据划线词“was exercise”以及后文“The idea that health and exercise were linked “wasn’t the accepted fact that we know today”, says Nick Wareham, a professor of epidemiology at Cambridge University. Some even felt that “too much physical activity was a bad thing for your health”. Miners and farmers who did physical exercise also suffered from various diseases and died young.(剑桥大学流行病学教授Nick Wareham表示，健康和运动有关的观点“在当时并不是我们今天所知道的公认事实”。一些人甚至认为“过多的体育活动对你的健康有害”。从事体育锻炼的矿工和农民也会患上各种疾病，英年早逝)”可知，当时认为锻炼会对健康有害，即锻炼没有引起研究人员的注意。故划线词意思是“引起研究人员的注意”。故选D。
30. 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“At this time a young doctor called Jerry Morris started to suspect that the increasing deaths from heart disease might be linked to occupation. He began studying the medical records of 31,000 London transport workers.(这时，一位名叫杰瑞·莫里斯的年轻医生开始怀疑，心脏病死亡人数的增加可能与职业有关。他开始研究31,000名伦敦交通工人的医疗记录)”可知，莫里斯通过解析运输员工的医疗数据进行研究。故选D。
31. 主旨大意题。根据第二段“It might seem improbable that a report on London’s buses could change behaviour. But it has happened before. London’s buses have an underappreciated role in the history of medical science. In the 1940s, a single study of London’s transport workers transformed epidemiology (流行病学), medicine and the way we live now. Every time you go on a run, check your step-count, or take the stairs instead of the lift, you are following a path pioneered by the feet of the workers on London’s buses.(一份关于伦敦公交车的报告似乎不太可能改变人们的行为。但这种情况以前也发生过。伦敦的公共汽车在医学科学史上的作用被低估了。20世纪40年代，一项针对伦敦交通工人的研究改变了流行病学、医学和我们现在的生活方式。每当你跑步、检查步数、或走楼梯而不是乘电梯时，你都是在追随伦敦公共汽车上工人们的脚步)”结合文章主要说明了伦敦公共汽车上的工人曾经改变了人们如今的生活方式，曾经人们认为锻炼有害身体，结果对工人的研究发现锻炼使人保持活力。可知，C选项“伦敦巴士司机如何引领世界运动”最符合文章标题。故选C。
D
Re-purposing diapers to make building materials would reduce the amount of garbage that goes to a landfill. It could also make homes more affordable. Maybe giving used diapers a new use could help tackle both problems.
Building material—especially those that are used for strengthening structures — are often expensive. They’re often the biggest hurdle to making homes affordable. So researchers have previously investigated unusual materials that could save costs. These materials included many that would otherwise pile up as waste, such as fly ash.
“There is a big need in developing countries such as the Southeast Asian nation, Indonesia. There, demand for low-cost housing outstrips what’s available. The number of people in Indonesia’s cities has climbed by about 4 percent per year in the last 30 years. By 2025, more than two-thirds of Indonesians are expected to live in urban areas. Indonesia’s population boom is intensifying the demand for housing,” says Siswanti Zuraida, an environmental engineer in Indonesia.
“Despite the need for more affordable housing, there are significant problems that stand in the way of adopting diapers,” Zuraida says. Used diapers contain wood pulp, cotton and plastic, which are potentially useful building materials. Diapers plastic components would have to be separated from the organic fibers, a complicated recycling process currently available only in developed nations. And Indonesia’s building regulations restrict together-materials to bricks, wood, steel and concrete (which is used to hold bricks together) — materials that also bear a high cost in terms of carbon emissions.
But reusing diapers might not be that environmentally friendly, especially on a large scale. “It’s tricky to separate dirty diapers from waste and disinfect them. So it would take a lot of energy to recycle diapers. It’s maybe worthwhile to start thinking about ways to replace single-use diapers with something less frequently thrown away,” says Christof Schrofl, a chemist who works at Technische Universit t Dresden in Germany.
32. Which statement describes the idea of re-purposing diapers best
A. No pains, no gains. B. Waste not, want not.
C. Kill two birds with one stone. D. Great minds think alike.
33. What is the meaning of the underlined word in Paragraph 2
A. Phase. B. Barrier. C. Goal. D. Advantage.
34. What can be inferred from the fourth paragraph
A. It is illegal to use diapers as building material in Indonesia.
B. Making building materials has little effect on climate warming.
C. The plastic components in diapers can make buildings stronger.
D. Developed countries have difficulty separating organic fibers on diapers.
35. What is Schrofl’s attitude towards reusing diapers
A. Indifferent. B. Supportive. C. Admiring. D. Objective.
【答案】32. C 33. B 34. A 35. D
【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了将尿布再利用作为建筑材料，可以减少进入垃圾填埋场的垃圾数量，同时让人们更负担得起住房。
32. 推理判断题。根据第一段“Re-purposing diapers to make building materials would reduce the amount of garbage that goes to a landfill. It could also make homes more affordable. (将纸尿裤重新用于制造建筑材料将减少进入垃圾填埋场的垃圾数量。它还可以让人们更负担得起住房)”可推知，尿布的再利用属于一举两得。故选C。
33. 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“Building material — especially those that are used for strengthening structures — are often expensive.(建筑材料——尤其是那些用来加固结构的材料——通常都很昂贵)”以及后文“to making homes affordable”可知，建筑材料昂贵是人们买得起房子的障碍。由此可知，划线词意思是“障碍”。故选B。
34. 推理判断题。根据第四段“And Indonesia’s building regulations restrict together-materials to bricks, wood, steel and concrete (which is used to hold bricks together) — materials that also bear a high cost in terms of carbon emissions.(此外，印尼的建筑法规将“合材”材料限制为砖块、木材、钢材和混凝土（用于将砖块粘合在一起）——这些材料在碳排放方面也承担着高昂的成本)”可推知，在印尼，用尿布做建筑材料是违法的。故选A。
35. 推理判断题。根据最后一段““It’s tricky to separate dirty diapers from waste and disinfect them. So it would take a lot of energy to recycle diapers. It’s maybe worthwhile to start thinking about ways to replace single-use diapers with something less frequently thrown away,” says Christof Schrofl, a chemist who works at Technische Universit t Dresden in Germany.(“将脏尿布与垃圾分开并消毒是件棘手的事情。所以回收尿布需要很多能源。德国德累斯顿工业技术学院的化学家Christof Schrofl说：“也许开始考虑用不那么经常被扔掉的东西取代一次性尿布是值得的。”)”可推知，施罗德对尿布重复使用的态度是客观的。故选D。
第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Have you ever caught a whiff of something and been strongly reminded of a person or place There seems to be a deep psychological link between smells and our memory. Some research even suggests that smells can influence our cognition.
36 Roja Dove, a perfumer, told the BBC that when we are born, the olfactory bulb (嗅球), which is the area in our brain that processes smell, is empty, without pre-existing information or association. 37 When we smell an odour (气味) again, the original and unique memory comes flooding back because of the association acquired in out previous experience.
Our awareness of smells is primarily unconscious. 38 But, low-level smells are still picked up because the scent receptors (感受器) in our brain are so powerful that we unconsciously register them. In fact, various studies have found the olfactory bulb sends more neurons (神经元) to more areas of our brain than our hearing or vision.
Research suggests that the power of smell can-also affect how the brain performs 39 . Mark Moss at Northumbria University’s Psychology Department discovered that certain essential oils, such as peppermint, positively impact cognition, and rosemary’s sent can enhance memory. He also studied lavender (薰衣草), which he says “tends to impair memory and slow reaction time”. But research by others has shown it to be useful in reducing pre-treatment anxiety in dental and medical situations.
40 The next time a familiar smell brings back a special memory. just remember that your nose is working wonders.
A. Why do smells take us back
B. So, don’t take your nose for granted.
C. How is the sense of smell connected to your brain
D. Scents can revive memories that have been long forgotten.
E. We are not actively aware of them unless they are extremely strong.
F. This is especially true when it comes to the fragrance of essential oils.
G. Therefore, our responses to smells are learnt and highly individualized.
【答案】36. C 37. G 38. E 39. F 40. B
【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了气味可以影响我们的认知。
36. 根据下文“Roja Dove, a perfumer, told the BBC that when we are born, the olfactory bulb (嗅球), which is the area in our brain that processes smell, is empty, without pre-existing information or association. (香水师Roja Dove告诉BBC，当我们出生时，我们大脑中处理气味的嗅球是空的，没有预先存在的信息或联系)”可知，此处是在说明嗅觉与大脑的关系，因此选择项C“How is the sense of smell connected to your brain (嗅觉是如何连接到你的大脑的？)”符合语境。故选C。
37. 根据下文“When we smell an odour (气味) again, the original and unique memory comes flooding back because of the association acquired in out previous experience. (当我们再次闻到一种气味时，由于我们先前经验中获得的联想，最初的和独特的记忆会大量涌现)”可知，我们是后天获得的对气味的反应。因此选择项G“Therefore, our responses to smells are learnt and highly individualized.(因此，我们对气味的反应是习得的，并且高度个性化)”符合语境。故选G。
38. 根据上文“Our awareness of smells is primarily unconscious. (我们对气味的意识主要是无意识的)”可知，想对气味有意识需要一定的条件。因此选择项E“We are not actively aware of them unless they are extremely strong. (除非它们非常强大，否则我们不会主动意识到它们)”符合语境。故选E。
39. 根据下文“Mark Moss at Northumbria University’s Psychology Department discovered that certain essential oils, such as peppermint, positively impact cognition, and rosemary’s sent can enhance memory. (诺森比亚大学心理学系的马克·莫斯发现，某些精油，如薄荷，对认知有积极影响，迷迭香的气味可以增强记忆)”可知，精油的香味也会影响大脑的表现。因此选择项F“This is especially true when it comes to the fragrance of essential oils.(说到精油的香味，更是如此)”符合语境。故选F。
40. 根据下文“The next time a familiar smell brings back a special memory. just remember that your nose is working wonders. (下次一种熟悉的气味唤起特别的记忆时，只要记住你的鼻子正在创造奇迹)”可知，鼻子会自动地处理气味，我们不应该忽视鼻子的作用。因此选择项B“So, don’t take your nose for granted.( 所以，不要把你的鼻子视为理所当然)”符合语境。故选B。

The days that make us happy make us wise.
--- John Masefield
When I first read this line by England’s Poet Laureate, it 41 me. What did Masefield mean Without thinking about it much, I had always assumed that the 42 was true. But his serious assurance was 43 . I was deeply attracted by it.
Slowly, I seemed to 44 his meaning and realized the wisdom that happiness makes possible lies in clear perception (洞察力), not 45 by anxiety nor dimmed by despair and boredom, and without the blind 46 caused by fear.
Active happiness---not mere satisfaction or 47 ---often comes suddenly, like an April shower or the unfolding of a bud. Then you discover what kind of wisdom has 48 it. Amazingly, in your eyes, the grass is greener; bird songs are sweeter; the 49 of your friends are more understandable, and more forgivable. Happiness is like a pair of eyeglasses correcting your 50 vision.
Nor are the 51 of happiness limited to what is near around you. Unhappy, with your thoughts focused on your emotional woes (痛苦) , your vision is cut short as though blocked by a wall. Happy, the wall 52 .
Consequently, the long vision is there for the seeing. The ground at your feet, the world about you---people, thoughts, emotions, pressures---are now 53 a larger scene. Everything covers a fairer 54 . Everything around you, whether it is encouraging or frustrating, no longer seems such a big deal. And here is the beginning of 55 .
41. A. terrified B. satisfied C. surprised D. upset
42. A. other B. opposite C. view D. contrast
43. A. arresting B. amazing C. interesting D. disturbing
44. A. handle B. observe C. appreciate D. seize
45. A. iced B. clouded C. rained D. snowed
46. A. roads B. paths C. spots D. places
47. A. fulfillment B. sorrow C. disappointment D. entertainment

第二节（满分 25分）
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。
Last summer, Hilda worked as a volunteer with dolphin trainers at a sea life park. Her job was to make sure the tanks were free of any items so that the trainers could train the dolphins to fetch specific items. However, one day after cleaning, one of the dolphins, Maya, presented Hilda with a candy wrapper from the tank. When Katherine, the trainer, saw this, she blamed Hilda for her carelessness. Upset but not discouraged by this event, Hilda decided to do some spying on Maya.
The next morning, Hilda arrived at the park early. She put on her scuba gear (水下呼吸器) and jumped into the tank for her usual, underwater sweep. Finding nothing in the tank, she climbed out of the water just in time to see Katherine jumping in on the other side. After what happened yesterday, Hilda knew what she was doing. She watched as Katherine performed her underwater search, but Hilda wasn’t surprised when she surfaced empty-handed.
During the tank sweeps, Maya had been swimming playfully, but now the dolphin stopped suddenly and swam to the back part of the tank where the filter (过滤) box was located. She stuck her nose down behind the box and then swam away. What was Maya doing back there Hilda wondered. She jumped back into the water and swam over to take a look behind the box, and her question was answered. Hilda then swam across the tank following Maya’s path and emerged from the water to find Katherine removing her scuba gear. As Katherine turned around, her mouth dropped open. There was Maya at the edge of the tank with a comb (梳子) in her mouth waiting for her treat.
“Maya! Where did you get that ” demanded Katherine, taking the comb and throwing her a fish. “I know where she got it,” declared Hilda climbing out of the tank with a handful of items still wet from their watery, resting place. “What’s all this ” Katherine asked, obviously confused.

Now Katherine realized what had been going on.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
“This is Maya’s secret,” Hilda said with a big smile. The truth of the matter, Hilda continued, is that Maya has been secretly collecting items from the tank, hiding them near the filter in the back of the tank. When you train her, she will give you some items so that she can get treats from you. “Really How do you know that ” Catherine asked in surprise. Hilda laughed and replied, “It took me a long time to discover this secret, too. It’s not easy to follow Maya.”
Now Katherine realized what had been going on. Catherine thought to herself, this is really a clever dolphin. And she said to Hilda, “Well, Maya loves treats, so we’ll work together, and you’ll secretly help her collect a few things and put them in the filter at the back of the tank. I’ll give her treats, the number of which I can increase.” Hilda replied, “Good idea, let’s do it.” From then on, the Sea Life Park is full of warmth and harmony. Maya’s performance in front of the audience is getting better and better.

W: American researchers say dust clouds from dry African deserts may be a threat to human health in the United States. They say the dust may contain many small organisms that could be dangerous to some people. Each year, huge storms form in the Sahara desert of Northern Africa (18). Winds carry the dust across the Atlantic Ocean. The movement of dust has been increasing in recent years because of longer periods without rain in Africa (19). From February to April, the dust settles in South America. From June to October, the winds change and transport the dust to North America, Central America and the Caribbean. More than half of the dust that reaches the United States settles in the state of Florida. For many years, it has caused the skies there to turn red. There is probably a link between the dust storms and the higher rates of breathing problems in people in this area (20).2024届高考二轮复习阶段测试卷(新高考II卷专用)03

As archaeologists (考古学家) examined ancient tombs in Turfan in western China, they discovered some surprisingly well-preserved and familiar relics. Though hardened from over 1,000 years, there sat little dumplings.
Exactly who invented dumplings remains a mystery. But some scholars suspect they were first spread by nomadic (游牧的) Turkic peoples living in western China and Central Asia. This is thought to be the case because “manti,” meaning “dumpling” or “steamed bun” in many Turkic languages, appears to be the root word for dumpling in several other languages. Ancient Turkic people probably filled their dumplings with meat. But it’s unclear when this practice began, or whether they learned the art of dumpling-making from others. However this happened, dumplings certainly gathered steam in ancient China.
Dumplings continued to take off and diversify in China over the next thousand years. Instead of the traditional meat filling, some communities chose vegetarian (素食) dumplings. People developed new cooking methods. The relationship between Chinese dumplings and those in other areas is tricky to trace, but food historians have made their best guesses based on available clues.
Besides Turkic tribes, some scholars believe that the Mongol Empire also contributed to the spread of dumplings, perhaps introducing them to parts of Eastern Europe. These dumplings could have come by way of China or directly from some of the Turkic peoples the Mongols hired to run their empire. One theory is that this gave rise to dumplings like pelmeni in Russia, pierogi in Poland and vareniki in Ukraine. The Mongol Empire also controlled Korea and might have likewise introduced dumplings there. Later, after Chinese dumpling varieties were introduced to more countries, English speakers began calling them dumplings, which means “little lumps”. During the Second World War, Chinese “jiaozi” were brought to Japan. So what about the Italian dumpling-like pasta Some historians think it might be brought by Arab conquerors.
It’s unlikely that all dumpling dishes came from the same root tradition. However, we can appreciate the mysterious historical web that made dumplings so various.

A new study has found that smiling at London bus drivers increases happiness. However, on the Number 24 bus to Hampstead Heath, Londoners are sceptical. “Bus drivers,” says Liz Hands, a passenger, “are generally annoying.”
It might seem improbable that a report on London’s buses could change behaviour. But it has happened before. London’s buses have an underappreciated role in the history of medical science. In the 1940s, a single study of London’s transport workers transformed epidemiology (流行病学), medicine and the way we live now. Every time you go on a run, check your step-count, or take the stairs instead of the lift, you are following a path pioneered by the feet of the workers on London’s buses.
In the late 1940s, doctors were worried. Britain, like many rich countries, was suffering from an “epidemic” of heart disease and no one knew why. Various hypotheses, such as stress, were suggested; but one thing that was not exercising researchers was exercise. The idea that health and exercise were linked “wasn’t the accepted fact that we know today”, says Nick Wareham, a professor of epidemiology at Cambridge University. Some even felt that “too much physical activity was a bad thing for your health”. Miners and farmers who did physical exercise also suffered from various diseases and died young.
At this time a young doctor called Jerry Morris started to suspect that the increasing deaths from heart disease might be linked to occupation. He began studying the medical records of 31,000 London transport workers. His findings were breathtaking: conductors, who spent their time running up and down stairs, had an approximately 30% lower possibility of disease than drivers, who sat down all day. Exercise was keeping people alive.
Morris’s research was eventually published in 1953, just three years after a study by Richard Doll proving the link between smoking and lung cancer. Morris’s work had consequences both big and small. Morris now also took up exercise, handing his jacket to his daughter and just running. “People thought I was bananas.” Slowly, the rest of the world took off its jacket and followed.
28. Why does the author mention the new study in the first paragraph
A. To clarify a concept. B. To introduce the topic.
C. To present the argument. D. To provide an example.
29. What does the underlined part “exercising researchers” in Paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Encouraging researchers to work out. B. Helping with researchers’ inquiry.
C. Hold back researchers’ progress. D. Drawing researchers’ attention.
30. How did Morris conduct his study on the transport employees
A. By carrying out survey. B. By observing their routines.
C. By doing medical examinations. D. By analyzing the medical data.
31. What is the best title for the text
A. Smiling and Its Effects on London Bus Drivers.
B. The Evolution of London’s Transportation System.
C. How London Bus Drivers Led the world to exercise.
D. What Londoners Think about Studies on Bus Drivers.

Re-purposing diapers to make building materials would reduce the amount of garbage that goes to a landfill. It could also make homes more affordable. Maybe giving used diapers a new use could help tackle both problems.
Building material—especially those that are used for strengthening structures — are often expensive. They’re often the biggest hurdle to making homes affordable. So researchers have previously investigated unusual materials that could save costs. These materials included many that would otherwise pile up as waste, such as fly ash.
“There is a big need in developing countries such as the Southeast Asian nation, Indonesia. There, demand for low-cost housing outstrips what’s available. The number of people in Indonesia’s cities has climbed by about 4 percent per year in the last 30 years. By 2025, more than two-thirds of Indonesians are expected to live in urban areas. Indonesia’s population boom is intensifying the demand for housing,” says Siswanti Zuraida, an environmental engineer in Indonesia.
“Despite the need for more affordable housing, there are significant problems that stand in the way of adopting diapers,” Zuraida says. Used diapers contain wood pulp, cotton and plastic, which are potentially useful building materials. Diapers plastic components would have to be separated from the organic fibers, a complicated recycling process currently available only in developed nations. And Indonesia’s building regulations restrict together-materials to bricks, wood, steel and concrete (which is used to hold bricks together) — materials that also bear a high cost in terms of carbon emissions.
But reusing diapers might not be that environmentally friendly, especially on a large scale. “It’s tricky to separate dirty diapers from waste and disinfect them. So it would take a lot of energy to recycle diapers. It’s maybe worthwhile to start thinking about ways to replace single-use diapers with something less frequently thrown away,” says Christof Schrofl, a chemist who works at Technische Universit t Dresden in Germany.
32. Which statement describes the idea of re-purposing diapers best
A. No pains, no gains. B. Waste not, want not.
C. Kill two birds with one stone. D. Great minds think alike.
33. What is the meaning of the underlined word in Paragraph 2
A. Phase. B. Barrier. C. Goal. D. Advantage.
34. What can be inferred from the fourth paragraph
A. It is illegal to use diapers as building material in Indonesia.
B. Making building materials has little effect on climate warming.
C. The plastic components in diapers can make buildings stronger.
D. Developed countries have difficulty separating organic fibers on diapers.
35. What is Schrofl’s attitude towards reusing diapers
A. Indifferent. B. Supportive. C. Admiring. D. Objective.

Have you ever caught a whiff of something and been strongly reminded of a person or place There seems to be a deep psychological link between smells and our memory. Some research even suggests that smells can influence our cognition.
36 Roja Dove, a perfumer, told the BBC that when we are born, the olfactory bulb (嗅球), which is the area in our brain that processes smell, is empty, without pre-existing information or association. 37 When we smell an odour (气味) again, the original and unique memory comes flooding back because of the association acquired in out previous experience.
Our awareness of smells is primarily unconscious. 38 But, low-level smells are still picked up because the scent receptors (感受器) in our brain are so powerful that we unconsciously register them. In fact, various studies have found the olfactory bulb sends more neurons (神经元) to more areas of our brain than our hearing or vision.
Research suggests that the power of smell can-also affect how the brain performs 39 . Mark Moss at Northumbria University’s Psychology Department discovered that certain essential oils, such as peppermint, positively impact cognition, and rosemary’s sent can enhance memory. He also studied lavender (薰衣草), which he says “tends to impair memory and slow reaction time”. But research by others has shown it to be useful in reducing pre-treatment anxiety in dental and medical situations.
40 The next time a familiar smell brings back a special memory. just remember that your nose is working wonders.
A. Why do smells take us back
B. So, don’t take your nose for granted.
C. How is the sense of smell connected to your brain
D. Scents can revive memories that have been long forgotten.
E. We are not actively aware of them unless they are extremely strong.
F. This is especially true when it comes to the fragrance of essential oils.
G. Therefore, our responses to smells are learnt and highly individualized.

The days that make us happy make us wise.

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。
Last summer, Hilda worked as a volunteer with dolphin trainers at a sea life park. Her job was to make sure the tanks were free of any items so that the trainers could train the dolphins to fetch specific items. However, one day after cleaning, one of the dolphins, Maya, presented Hilda with a candy wrapper from the tank. When Katherine, the trainer, saw this, she blamed Hilda for her carelessness. Upset but not discouraged by this event, Hilda decided to do some spying on Maya.
The next morning, Hilda arrived at the park early. She put on her scuba gear (水下呼吸器) and jumped into the tank for her usual, underwater sweep. Finding nothing in the tank, she climbed out of the water just in time to see Katherine jumping in on the other side. After what happened yesterday, Hilda knew what she was doing. She watched as Katherine performed her underwater search, but Hilda wasn’t surprised when she surfaced empty-handed.
During the tank sweeps, Maya had been swimming playfully, but now the dolphin stopped suddenly and swam to the back part of the tank where the filter (过滤) box was located. She stuck her nose down behind the box and then swam away. What was Maya doing back there Hilda wondered. She jumped back into the water and swam over to take a look behind the box, and her question was answered. Hilda then swam across the tank following Maya’s path and emerged from the water to find Katherine removing her scuba gear. As Katherine turned around, her mouth dropped open. There was Maya at the edge of the tank with a comb (梳子) in her mouth waiting for her treat.
“Maya! Where did you get that ” demanded Katherine, taking the comb and throwing her a fish. “I know where she got it,” declared Hilda climbing out of the tank with a handful of items still wet from their watery, resting place. “What’s all this ” Katherine asked, obviously confused.
注意：
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
“This is Maya’s secret,” Hilda said with a big smile.
