I was surfing the Internet, planning for our 15th-anniversary trip when a perfect spot attracted me: The Shire of Montana, a “hobbit house”, which Jim my husband had dreamed about. I knew he’d be impressed. And our six-year-old daughter, Aurora, would like it, too. I was about to book our reservation when I saw a note on the website: No kids allowed. That ruined everything!
Luckily, there was an email address on the site. I plucked up the courage to contact the owner. Soon, a reply arrived, saying, “If you promise that your daughter is responsible and will not touch, she can come.” I was relieved, thinking Aurora was a good kid. “This will be okay,” I wrote back.
The day finally arrived. We piled into the car. I couldn’t help being excited, imagining Jim and Aurora’s reactions. We passed a sign that read, “The adventure begins …” Turning onto the Hobbit Lane, I felt a pan g of anxiety. As soon as we got out of the car, I pulled Aurora aside. “Children aren’t usually allowed here,” I said. “So you have to be very, very careful. You can look at everything, but don’t touch.” I explained the rule and how terrible it would be to damage anything. Aurora’s eyes widened at my no-nonsense tone. “I promise, Mom,” she said.
Obviously, my concern was superfluous. We spent several days at The Shire. Aurora was delighted at each discovery but she never disturbed a thing. She took her responsibility to protect the owner’s work seriously. It turned out that respecting boundaries didn’t take away the beauty and wonder, it allowed The Shire to remain beautiful and wonderful into the future.
Not so different from a marriage, I thought. Now I understood why we went to this place to celebrate our fifteenth anniversary. Jim and I moved through life side by side as a couple, and we’d learned to accept each other’s individuality and boundaries as well. Marriage is full of surprises, challenges and adventures. The key to making it work is respecting each other.
4. What can we learn from the first paragraph
A. The author met a problem while planning a trip.
B. The author and her husband had been married for 6 years.
C. Aurora didn’t want to take a trip to The Shire of Montana.
D. The trip was ruined because the author didn’t reserve a room.
5. Why did the author feel a pang of anxiety
A. She felt it a burden to take care of her daughter.
B. She doubted if her daughter would behave well.
C. She worried her daughter wouldn’t be admitted.
D. She wasn’t sure whether her husband would like the place.
6. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “superfluous” in paragraph 4
A. considerable B. important C. unnecessary D. common
7. What does the author want to convey through the text
A. Don’t give up until you try your best.
B. Good role models are essential for teaching kids.
C. Respect contributes to a happy and lasting marriage.
D. Obeying the rules is important when dealing with people.
C
The age-old chore of dusting could soon be a thing of the past. Scientists are developing “self-cleaning” surfaces that make dust particles unable to stick to them. Researchers from the University of Texas at Austin say the particles instead stick to each other and simply roll off the surfaces with nothing more than the assistance of gravity.
The scientists altered the geometry (几何构造) of flat surfaces at a level invisible to human eyes. The team made a tightly-packed nanoscale (纳米级) network of pyramid-shaped structures on the surfaces which made it difficult for dust particles to stick to the material. Instead, the particles stick to each other before rolling off the material due to gravity.
The study, funded by a grant (拨款) from NASA’s Small Business Innovation Research program, tested the material by piling lunar dust on their engineered surfaces before turning them on their sides. The team found that just two percent of the surface remained dusty, compared with more than 35 percent of an unaltered smooth surface. The new surface could provide a passive solution to removing dust, as opposed to more active methods like using wipers and fluid to clear dust from a car windscreen.
“What we’ve demonstrated here is a surface that can clean itself,” says lead study author Chih-Hao Chang. “Particulates aren’t able to stick to the surface, so they come off using just the force of gravity.”
Study authors hope the material provides a solution to space dust, which can be extremely harmful in such a high-risk environment and is almost impossible to clean out. Space dust has previously caused great damage to NASA’s human spaceflight Apollo missions and has even caused rovers on Mars to malfunction and fail. “There’s not much you can do about lunar dust in space—it sticks to everything and there’s no real way to wipe it off,” says Samuel Lee, a lead author of the study. “Dust on solar panels of Mars rovers can cause them to fail.”
However, the researchers also believe the discovery could prove useful on Earth, preventing solar panels from collecting dust and losing efficiency. These surfaces may even protect our screens and windows from irritating dust.
8. How did the scientists alter the flat surfaces
A. By putting thin paint on them. B. By creating a special network on them.
C. By making particles stick to each other. D. By making them invisible to human eyes.
9. What can we learn about the surfaces after the test
A. Over 35% of the surfaces were dusty.
B. Just two percent of the surfaces remained dusty.
C. The surfaces still needed to be cleaned with wipers and fluid.
D. The surfaces attracted more dust particles than common ones.
10. Why does the author mention NASA’s human spaceflight Apollo missions and rovers on Mars
A. To show the material can be very helpful. B. To prove irritating dust exists everywhere.
C. To show the importance of space exploration. D. To explain why NASA supported the research.
11. What is the main idea of the text
A. Dust threatened missions in space. B. Scientists developed self-cleaning surfaces.
C. Self-cleaning surfaces proved useful on Earth. D. Scientists developed a material for rovers on Mars.
D
When temperatures climb, many people reach for ice-cold beverages (饮料) to cool down. But others put the kettle on: Hot tea is a go-to beverage year-round in countries such as Bangladesh, China, Japan and Saudi Arabia. Many people find hot tea refreshing on hot days. Can hot drinks really cool you down on a hot day
According to Peter McNaughton, a professor at King’s College London who studies thermoregulation (温度调节), hot drinks really can cool you down. “It seems totally counterintuitive (反直觉的，违反直觉的),” McNaughton said. “Drinking a hot drink really does make you drop your temperature if it’s not too humid out.”
“If a drink is warmer than your body at first, obviously, that drink makes you hotter,” McNaughton said. But humans, like all warmblooded animals, are constantly adjusting to maintain a consistent internal temperature. McNaughton found that hot drinks activate a receptor (接受器) in our nerves called TRPV1, which tells the body it needs to cool down. In response, humans sweat.
“Sweat pooling on skin is uncomfortable, but add a breeze or a fan, and the air blowing past helps sweat evaporate (蒸发), taking heat with it,” McNaughton said. “In general, your life depends on sweating. Sweating can help humans survive in some of the highest temperatures documented on Earth, at least in dry heat. Sweat is less effective in high humidity because the air is already full of water vapor and can’t absorb as much from the skin, that’s why in high humidity, the survivable temperature is much lower.”
A 2012 study in the journal Acta Physiologica found that when sweat fully evaporates, hot drinks can help cool people off overall, at least temporarily. That study looked at cyclists biking quickly enough to create their own breeze in a climate with no humidity: ideal conditions for sweat evaporation.
In the reverse effect, cold drinks lower body temperatures and then make the brain reduce sweating in order to bring body temperature back to its baseline. A 2018 paper suggests that with less wind, more humidity, or other barriers to effective sweating—like the heavy clothing worn by firefighters—it may make more sense to cool off by drinking crushed ice.
12. What do we know about people in Bangladesh, China, Japan and Saudi Arabia
A. They like ice-cold beverages on hot days.
B. They favor hot tea over cold drinks year-round.
C. They doubt whether hot tea can help cool them down.
D. They believe ice-cold beverages are harmful to their health.
13. What can we learn from paragraph 3
A. TRPV1 helps adjust blood temperature. B. Blood helps add heat to the human body.
C. Sweating helps increase our body temperature. D. TRPV1 sends signals related to body temperature.
14. Why does the author quote McNaughton’s words about sweating paragraph 4
A. To show the danger of high humidity. B. To reveal why some people sweat more.
C To tell us about the function of sweating. D. To display how people survive extreme heat.
15. What can we conclude after reading the text
A. Drinking enough water benefits our bodies.
B. We should avoid cold water in high humidity.
C. Hot water cools us down better than cold water.
D. Hot drinks help cool the body under certain conditions.

Peter walked home from school. Salty tears ran down his cheeks, and his stomach hurt. He didn’t know what to do. Nokomis was waiting for him on the front porch.
“What’s wrong, Biyen ” said Peter’s grandmother. Biyen was the Ojibwe (齐佩瓦人) name for Peter. He called her Nokomis, which meant grandmother.
Peter looked up. “I have to give a presentation where I talk about a family tradition. I know we have lots of beliefs and customs. Can you remind me of one ”
Nokomis smiled and nodded with a smile. “Come with me,” she said softly. Peter followed Nokomis. She went to a closet, stretched to reach the top shelf and pulled out a small box. She handed it to Peter, asking him to open it.
Peter opened the box. Present before him was a wooden hoop (圈). It was in the shape of a circle. String was woven and twisted around the hoop. It looked like a spider web. A black bead (珠子) sat near the center with feathers hanging from the bottom. Seeing it, Peter wiped away his tears and smiled.
“This is a dream catcher,” said Nokomis. “Our people have made these for many years. Circles are symbols of unity and strength. Let’s hang it over your bed tonight. It will catch your bad dreams in the web, and your good dreams will fall through the center. Maybe it will give you courage to do your presentation.” Looking at Nokomis, Peter asked whether he could take that to school. Nokomis refused because the dream catcher was extremely precious, which meant a lot to her.
Peter felt disappointed at her words because he wanted to share the dream catcher with his class. “We could make you one,” said Nokomis. “I’d like that!” cried Peter in excitement. Without delay, Nokomis and Peter worked together and they made a dream catcher.
注意：
(1) 续写词数应为 150个左右；

I was surfing the Internet, planning for our 15th-anniversary trip when a perfect spot attracted me: The Shire of Montana, a “hobbit house”, which Jim my husband had dreamed about. I knew he’d be impressed. And our six-year-old daughter, Aurora, would like it, too. I was about to book our reservation when I saw a note on the website: No kids allowed. That ruined everything!
Luckily, there was an email address on the site. I plucked up the courage to contact the owner. Soon, a reply arrived, saying, “If you promise that your daughter is responsible and will not touch, she can come.” I was relieved, thinking Aurora was a good kid. “This will be okay,” I wrote back.
The day finally arrived. We piled into the car. I couldn’t help being excited, imagining Jim and Aurora’s reactions. We passed a sign that read, “The adventure begins …” Turning onto the Hobbit Lane, I felt a pan g of anxiety. As soon as we got out of the car, I pulled Aurora aside. “Children aren’t usually allowed here,” I said. “So you have to be very, very careful. You can look at everything, but don’t touch.” I explained the rule and how terrible it would be to damage anything. Aurora’s eyes widened at my no-nonsense tone. “I promise, Mom,” she said.
Obviously, my concern was superfluous. We spent several days at The Shire. Aurora was delighted at each discovery but she never disturbed a thing. She took her responsibility to protect the owner’s work seriously. It turned out that respecting boundaries didn’t take away the beauty and wonder, it allowed The Shire to remain beautiful and wonderful into the future.
Not so different from a marriage, I thought. Now I understood why we went to this place to celebrate our fifteenth anniversary. Jim and I moved through life side by side as a couple, and we’d learned to accept each other’s individuality and boundaries as well. Marriage is full of surprises, challenges and adventures. The key to making it work is respecting each other.
4. What can we learn from the first paragraph
A. The author met a problem while planning a trip.
B. The author and her husband had been married for 6 years.
C. Aurora didn’t want to take a trip to The Shire of Montana.
D. The trip was ruined because the author didn’t reserve a room.
5. Why did the author feel a pang of anxiety
A. She felt it a burden to take care of her daughter.
B. She doubted if her daughter would behave well.
C. She worried her daughter wouldn’t be admitted.
D. She wasn’t sure whether her husband would like the place.
6. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “superfluous” in paragraph 4

The age-old chore of dusting could soon be a thing of the past. Scientists are developing “self-cleaning” surfaces that make dust particles unable to stick to them. Researchers from the University of Texas at Austin say the particles instead stick to each other and simply roll off the surfaces with nothing more than the assistance of gravity.
The scientists altered the geometry (几何构造) of flat surfaces at a level invisible to human eyes. The team made a tightly-packed nanoscale (纳米级) network of pyramid-shaped structures on the surfaces which made it difficult for dust particles to stick to the material. Instead, the particles stick to each other before rolling off the material due to gravity.
The study, funded by a grant (拨款) from NASA’s Small Business Innovation Research program, tested the material by piling lunar dust on their engineered surfaces before turning them on their sides. The team found that just two percent of the surface remained dusty, compared with more than 35 percent of an unaltered smooth surface. The new surface could provide a passive solution to removing dust, as opposed to more active methods like using wipers and fluid to clear dust from a car windscreen.
“What we’ve demonstrated here is a surface that can clean itself,” says lead study author Chih-Hao Chang. “Particulates aren’t able to stick to the surface, so they come off using just the force of gravity.”
Study authors hope the material provides a solution to space dust, which can be extremely harmful in such a high-risk environment and is almost impossible to clean out. Space dust has previously caused great damage to NASA’s human spaceflight Apollo missions and has even caused rovers on Mars to malfunction and fail. “There’s not much you can do about lunar dust in space—it sticks to everything and there’s no real way to wipe it off,” says Samuel Lee, a lead author of the study. “Dust on solar panels of Mars rovers can cause them to fail.”
However, the researchers also believe the discovery could prove useful on Earth, preventing solar panels from collecting dust and losing efficiency. These surfaces may even protect our screens and windows from irritating dust.
8. How did the scientists alter the flat surfaces
A. By putting thin paint on them. B. By creating a special network on them.
C. By making particles stick to each other. D. By making them invisible to human eyes.
9. What can we learn about the surfaces after the test
A. Over 35% of the surfaces were dusty.
B. Just two percent of the surfaces remained dusty.
C. The surfaces still needed to be cleaned with wipers and fluid.
D. The surfaces attracted more dust particles than common ones.
10. Why does the author mention NASA’s human spaceflight Apollo missions and rovers on Mars
A. To show the material can be very helpful. B. To prove irritating dust exists everywhere.
C. To show the importance of space exploration. D. To explain why NASA supported the research.
11. What is the main idea of the text
A. Dust threatened missions in space. B. Scientists developed self-cleaning surfaces.
C. Self-cleaning surfaces proved useful on Earth. D. Scientists developed a material for rovers on Mars.

When temperatures climb, many people reach for ice-cold beverages (饮料) to cool down. But others put the kettle on: Hot tea is a go-to beverage year-round in countries such as Bangladesh, China, Japan and Saudi Arabia. Many people find hot tea refreshing on hot days. Can hot drinks really cool you down on a hot day
According to Peter McNaughton, a professor at King’s College London who studies thermoregulation (温度调节), hot drinks really can cool you down. “It seems totally counterintuitive (反直觉的，违反直觉的),” McNaughton said. “Drinking a hot drink really does make you drop your temperature if it’s not too humid out.”
“If a drink is warmer than your body at first, obviously, that drink makes you hotter,” McNaughton said. But humans, like all warmblooded animals, are constantly adjusting to maintain a consistent internal temperature. McNaughton found that hot drinks activate a receptor (接受器) in our nerves called TRPV1, which tells the body it needs to cool down. In response, humans sweat.
“Sweat pooling on skin is uncomfortable, but add a breeze or a fan, and the air blowing past helps sweat evaporate (蒸发), taking heat with it,” McNaughton said. “In general, your life depends on sweating. Sweating can help humans survive in some of the highest temperatures documented on Earth, at least in dry heat. Sweat is less effective in high humidity because the air is already full of water vapor and can’t absorb as much from the skin, that’s why in high humidity, the survivable temperature is much lower.”
A 2012 study in the journal Acta Physiologica found that when sweat fully evaporates, hot drinks can help cool people off overall, at least temporarily. That study looked at cyclists biking quickly enough to create their own breeze in a climate with no humidity: ideal conditions for sweat evaporation.
In the reverse effect, cold drinks lower body temperatures and then make the brain reduce sweating in order to bring body temperature back to its baseline. A 2018 paper suggests that with less wind, more humidity, or other barriers to effective sweating—like the heavy clothing worn by firefighters—it may make more sense to cool off by drinking crushed ice.
12. What do we know about people in Bangladesh, China, Japan and Saudi Arabia
A. They like ice-cold beverages on hot days.
B. They favor hot tea over cold drinks year-round.
C. They doubt whether hot tea can help cool them down.
D. They believe ice-cold beverages are harmful to their health.
13. What can we learn from paragraph 3
A. TRPV1 helps adjust blood temperature. B. Blood helps add heat to the human body.
C. Sweating helps increase our body temperature. D. TRPV1 sends signals related to body temperature.
14. Why does the author quote McNaughton’s words about sweating paragraph 4
A. To show the danger of high humidity. B. To reveal why some people sweat more.
C. To tell us about the function of sweating. D. To display how people survive extreme heat.
15. What can we conclude after reading the text
A. Drinking enough water benefits our bodies.
B. We should avoid cold water in high humidity.
C. Hot water cools us down better than cold water.
D. Hot drinks help cool the body under certain conditions.
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了研究表明喝热饮可以有助于身体降温，解释了其中的原理。
12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“But others put the kettle on: Hot tea is a go-to beverage year-round in countries such as Bangladesh, China, Japan and Saudi Arabia. (但也有人把水壶打开：在孟加拉国、中国、日本和沙特阿拉伯等国家，热茶是全年的必备饮料。)”可知，孟加拉国、中国、日本和沙特阿拉伯的人全年都喜欢热茶而不是冷饮。故选B。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“McNaughton found that hot drinks activate a receptor (接受器) in our nerves called TRPV1, which tells the body it needs to cool down. In response, humans sweat. (麦克诺顿发现，热饮会激活我们神经中的一种名为TRPV1的受体，它会告诉身体需要降温。作为回应，人类会出汗。)”可知，TRPV1发送与体温有关的信号。故选D。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段““Sweat pooling on skin is uncomfortable, but add a breeze or a fan, and the air blowing past helps sweat evaporate (蒸发), taking heat with it,” McNaughton said. “In general, your life depends on sweating. Sweating can help humans survive in some of the highest temperatures documented on Earth, at least in dry heat . Sweat is less effective in high humidity because the air is already full of water vapor and can’t absorb as much from the skin, that’s why in high humidity, the survivable temperature is much lower.” (麦克诺顿说：“汗水聚集在皮肤上是不舒服的，但吹过的风或风扇会帮助汗水蒸发，带走热量。总的来说，你的生活取决于出汗。出汗可以帮助人类在地球上有记录的一些最高温度下生存，至少在干热的情况下。汗液在高湿度条件下效果较差，因为空气中已经充满了水蒸气，不能从皮肤上吸收那么多，这就是为什么在高湿度条件下，生存温度要低得多。”)”可知，作者在第4段引用了McNaughton关于出汗的话是为了告诉我们出汗的功能。故选C。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“A 2012 study in the journal Acta Physiologica found that when sweat fully evaporates, hot drinks can help cool people off overall, at least temporarily. (2012年发表在《生理学学报》上的一项研究发现，当汗液完全蒸发后，热饮可以帮助人们整体降温，至少是暂时的。)”可推知，在某些情况下，热饮有助于身体降温。故选D。

47. 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。
Peter walked home from school. Salty tears ran down his cheeks, and his stomach hurt. He didn’t know what to do. Nokomis was waiting for him on the front porch.
“What’s wrong, Biyen ” said Peter’s grandmother. Biyen was the Ojibwe (齐佩瓦人) name for Peter. He called her Nokomis, which meant grandmother.
Peter looked up. “I have to give a presentation where I talk about a family tradition. I know we have lots of beliefs and customs. Can you remind me of one ”
Nokomis smiled and nodded with a smile. “Come with me,” she said softly. Peter followed Nokomis. She went to a closet, stretched to reach the top shelf and pulled out a small box. She handed it to Peter, asking him to open it.
Peter opened the box. Present before him was a wooden hoop (圈). It was in the shape of a circle. String was woven and twisted around the hoop. It looked like a spider web. A black bead (珠子) sat near the center with feathers hanging from the bottom. Seeing it, Peter wiped away his tears and smiled.
“This is a dream catcher,” said Nokomis. “Our people have made these for many years. Circles are symbols of unity and strength. Let’s hang it over your bed tonight. It will catch your bad dreams in the web, and your good dreams will fall through the center. Maybe it will give you courage to do your presentation.” Looking at Nokomis, Peter asked whether he could take that to school. Nokomis refused because the dream catcher was extremely precious, which meant a lot to her.
Peter felt disappointed at her words because he wanted to share the dream catcher with his class. “We could make you one,” said Nokomis. “I’d like that!” cried Peter in excitement. Without delay, Nokomis and Peter worked together and they made a dream catcher.

【答案】Paragraph 1:
That night, as Peter looked at the dream catcher over his bed, he had an idea. “Why not share the story of the dream catcher with my class on the presentation day ” Peter said to himself, his eyes sparkling with joy. Immediately, he started to prepare for it. And it took him quite some time before he got everything ready. Early the next morning, he arrived at the school and waited in excitement. Then came the moment, and with butterflies in his stomach, he made his way to the platform. A little nervous as he felt, his grandmother’s words seemed to echo inside his head and words just flooded out of his mouth. “Today, I’m going to give a presentation on dream catchers. It is a fantastic tradition for our Ojibwe to make these, which are the symbols of courage, unity and strength....”
Paragraph 2:
Thunders of applause exploded after Peter gave the presentation. The moment Peter stepped off the platform, he was surrounded by his classmates. Curious to know more about the dream catcher, they insisted that Peter make one in front of them. Brimming with confidence, Peter took out all the materials that he had prepared the night before. He explained every step carefully as he showed them how to weave and twist string around the hoop. A few minutes later, a beautiful hand-made dream catcher appeared like magic. After school, he could hardly wait to get home to share with his grandmother that it was the dream catcher that gave him courage and strength to do the fantastic presentation.
