Since 1936 many female space explorers have followed Russian astronaut Valentina Tereshkova. Let’s look at the missions (任务) of four important female astronauts to find out what astronauts do in space.
In 1983, Sally Ride became the first American women in space. Her team carried out scientific experiments in space and put two communications satellites in space. Satellites make it possible for us to communicate instantly with each other across the world through TV, radio, and telephones.
In 1984, Kathryn Sullivan became the first American women to walk in space. During her mission, she discovered important information about the sun’s energy and how it affects the climate in very hot and very cold places on Earth. She also took photographs of Earth and measured air pollution.
In 1992, Mae Jemison became the first African-American in space. During her mission, she did scientific experiments using the weightless atmosphere. In space, there is no gravity, so everything floats! Dr. Jemison’s experiments gave important information about the human body to produce better medicines and healthcare.
In 2012, Liu Yang became the first Chinese women in space. She did experiments in space medicine, which look at how astronauts can survive and stay healthy in space. The conditions in space are very hard on the body and space medicine helps astronauts work safely.
20. Who collected important information about air pollution
A. Valentina Tereshkova. B. Sally Ride.
C. Kathryn Sullivan. D. Mae Jemison.
21. What did Dr. Jemison’s experiments focus on

Music is a powerful thing. It awakens feelings and has the power to bring people together. But today, artists are not known for their music, but for how flashy their clothing is and how many times their wealthy relatives can get them out of jail(监狱). And thus, their music is lost.
Pop and rap music has developed into a shallow, image-addicted industry that lines up with what the public wants to hear and see, removing the focus on the actual music. Mainstream music is no longer composed of emotion, but instead, themes of money and fame. Photos and rumors fly while the music is ignored.
Not all musical groups or individual artists begin like this. Many of these artists are original and talented, but turn to the money side. Often their songs are written by experts who know what is appealing to a certain age group, and the musicians’ faces can be seen on countless magazine covers. Soon their supposedly new and improved songs can be heard blasting out of car windows. But these songs are totally empty, lacking creativity and the original thirst of the artist to make an impact or convey (传递) a message.
MTV is not helping. It plays only what the public wants to hear. And unfortunately, the majority seems interested in either sickly sweet, generic pop or stereotypical (刻板的), bleeped-out rap. Kids and teens everywhere are swimming in these songs, which are often degrading to women and minorities, and inappropriate.
Almost all the girls in my dorm are addicted to the same songs. This was the case the previous year, and the year before that. Whenever I try to play music I enjoy, or introduce them to some decent songs, they say that everyone except me likes their music.
Why do most teenagers only listen to pop and rap music when so many other types exist Maybe it’s because everywhere we look, we are bombarded with(被……轰炸) the same music: on the radio, on TV, on the computer. At school, pop and rap are discussed all the time. Perhaps they have never listened to anything else. Or maybe peer pressure is part of it.
There is no solution to the “pop problem”. It’s called popular for a reason—many people enjoy it. There’s no easy way to change their views. My suggestion is not to buy music like this when you can explore something new. Expand your horizons. Dig up your parents’ old records and CDs. You never know what you might find.
24. The author probably prefers ______.
A. new pop songs meant for girls
B. original songs with deep meaning
C. catchy songs produced by popular singers
D. never-heard-before songs just recently discovered
25. What can we learn from the passage
A. Many artists trade creativity for wealth and fame.
B. The public is responsible for the existence of music.
C. MTV promotes the songs favored by women and minorities.
D. Musicians singing about money is an ineffective way to attract fans.
26. What is most probably the author’s suggestion for young people
A. Try to respect your peers’ music tastes. B. Deal with the “pop problem” patiently.
C. Expose yourself to various music styles. D. Treasure the music from previous generations.
27. What would be the best title for the article
A. The Influence of Pop and Rap Music on Teenagers
B. The Decline of Musical Diversity in Youth Culture
C. The Impact of Mainstream Music Trends on Society
D. The Importance of Exploring Diverse Music Genres
D
The body gives off many gases. Although some smells may signal a need to bathe or that you ate a certain meal, other gases might point to serious disease. Now, researchers have come up with a system that uses earmuffs to catch the disease-signaling gases. Doctors could get the information as patients wear a set of earmuffs. Results could be ready within minutes.
“The ear is a good place to monitor,” explains Johnson, a biomedical engineer. The ear’s skin is fairly thin, he notes. So gases don’t have to travel far to get out of the blood and escape through skin pores.
To collect the gases, Johnson and his team selected earmuffs that make a tight seal with the head. These are the type people often wear to protect the ears from loud noise. His team made two holes in the muff covering one ear. A tube slowly pumped air in one hole. Another tube pulled air out of the second hole and sent it to a sensor.
In their tests, the team found that they could measure changes in the amount of alcohol coming from the skin of the ear. It could work much like a Breathalyzer that police use to test people for driving drunk. The team invited three men. Each had to avoid drinking alcohol for at least three days before taking part. Once in the lab, these men wore the earmuffs and sat for 10 minutes as the system recorded normal gas levels leaving their ears. Afterward, the men drank a big amount of alcohol. About 7 minutes later, the earmuff system tested out a rise in alcohol leaving the skin. After 50 minutes, alcohol levels reached the peak and continued falling until the test was over.
The team then measured other gases by changing out the sensor. With the right sensor, their earmuff system could test out disease. Later, they replaced the earmuffs with a one-eared version to make it a bit more comfortable.
Johnson imagines another possible benefit. The earmuff system could help doctors tell whether a child’s ear infections have been caused by bacteria or a virus. How Each type of infection exudes different gases. That, in turn, could guide how doctors cure the disease.
28. What makes the ear a good place to monitor
A. Its small size. B. Its thin skin.
C. Its clean surface. D. Its blood flow.
29. What did Johnson and his team find in their tests
A. Sensors should be examined in time. B. Drunk-driving tests were ineffective.
C. Serious diseases were difficult to identify. D. Their system could be used to tell diseases.
30. What does the underlined word “exudes” in Paragraph 6 most probably mean
A. Collects. B. Gives off. C. Cuts off. D. Uses.
31. In which section of a magazine is this passage most likely to appear
A. Politics. B. Business. C. Science. D. Entertainment.
第二卷 （共53分）
第一节：（共4小题，每小题2分，共8分）
阅读下面短文和问题，根据短文内容和每小题后的具体要求，在答题卡相应题号后的横线上写下相关信息，完成对该问题的回答。答语要意思清楚，结构正确，书写工整。
Most people assume that the human brain is set on “automatic” —that means it learns all by itself. But this isn’t always true. We need to train ourselves to be better learners—to actively take part in the learning process and to reflect on what we have learnt. These kinds of learning behaviours are called “active learning”. I suggest doing five things to take an active role in your learning.
1. Listen to the outer voice
There are two kinds of voices: the inner voice and the outer voice. Your inner voice expresses your personal opinions, while the outer voice tells you about opinions from what you hear or read. Although your inner voice can be useful, it can also get in the way of learning. If you keep paying too much attention to it, you risk missing important information. Instead, active learners are open-minded and focus on what the speaker/ writer is saying, not on what their brain is saying in the background. In this way, they are in a better position to make decisions.
2. Argue with your inner voice
If you find your inner voice difficult to control, you can argue with it as most active learners do. When your inner voice tells you a speaker / writer is wrong, think about why the speaker / writer may be right. Be flexible in your opinions and you might end up agreeing with the speaker / writer after all. If not, at least you have “listened to” another point of view.
3. Ask questions
Asking questions is the easiest way to promote active learning. When you get information from someone, from books or the Internet, ask two, three, even five questions about the topic. The answers will lead you to further learning, and the very act of working out questions will help you to achieve a higher level of understanding about the topic. In short: Do not stop being curious
4. Get to the truth
Active learners do not accept everything they learn. They attempt to find the truth at the heart of each idea. Even when an idea sounds entirely unlikely, there may be an aspect of it that is based on truth. So if someone says that dinosaurs still exist today, think about why they believe this. Where does the idea come from Do they have enough data to support their views If you try to find out the source of an idea, no matter how crazy it seems, you will increase your chance of learning something.
5. Focus on the message
Many people miss out on learning opportunities because they let their feelings get in the way. They refuse to learn or ignore what is said because of who the speaker / writer is. It is true that we cannot help disliking some people—this is human nature, after all. But do not forget you can still learn from them. Active learners do not judge people based on first impressions or personal feeling. Instead, they separate the message from the messenger. This goes the other way as well—do not just assume that some people are always right because of who they are or just because they are your friends.

33. What does “outer voice” do （不多于13个单词）
___________________________________________________________________________________________
34. What is the easiest way to promote active learning （不多于3个单词）

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇应用文。主要介绍了一场沉浸式梵高作品展在西海岸的首映式将在洛杉矶让梵高的艺术重现人间。
【16题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Immersive art is not just a technical way to represent video and audio in huge spaces. The word immersive indicates a deep commitment of intentions which connect images and sounds in a way that the audience able to experience a different way of the art.”（沉浸式艺术不仅仅是在巨大空间中呈现视频和音频的技术方法。“沉浸”这个词表明了一种深刻的意图，它将图像和声音联系起来，使观众能够体验到一种不同的艺术方式。）以及第三段“True to its name, this exhibition transforms the iconic (标志性的) paintings of Vincent Van Gogh into moving, wall-filling projections. “Immersive Van Gogh” promises half-a-million cubic feet of projections that pull from some of the post-impressionist’s most recognizable pieces, including The Bedroom, Sunflowers and, yes, The Starry Night.”（正如它的名字一样，这个展览将文森特·梵高的标志性画作变成了移动的、填满墙壁的投影。“沉浸式梵高”将展出50万立方英尺的投影，这些投影来自这位后印象派最知名的一些作品，包括《卧室》、《向日葵》，没错，还有《星空》。）可知，沉浸式艺术是一种将图像和声音连接起来的新型艺术形式，本次梵高绘画展就是要通过沉浸式艺术展现。由此推知，本次展演将通过现代的方式呈现。故选A项。
【17题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中“To be announced before the exhibit opens, existing ticket holders will receive an email with the place name and location once it is made public.”（在展览开幕前宣布，一旦展览公开，现有的门票持有者将收到一封带有地名和地点的电子邮件。）可知，人们可以通过电子邮件找到有关展览确切地点的信息。故选D项。
【18题详解】
细节理解题。根据题干“a couple with a 5-year-old child who would like to own a Van Gogh carpet”（一对带着5岁孩子的夫妇，并且想要拥有一个梵高地毯）可知，一共有两个成人，一个五岁的孩子，并且想要梵高地毯。再结合“Ages 6-16 (children 5 and under do not require a ticket)”（6-16岁(5岁及以下儿童无需购票)）可知，五岁的孩子不需要门票。再根据题干中“own a Van Gogh carpet”可知，想要得到一份Van Gogh carpet必须其中一人购买VIP TICKETS，即需要$99.99。另一个人只需要购买BASIC TICKETS（基本门票），即需要$54.99。所以一对带着5岁孩子的夫妇，如果想拥有一张梵高的地毯，至少要花$99.99+$54.99=$154.98。故选B项。
【19题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章大意以及第一段“From the creators of the blockbuster show in Paris seen by over two million visitors and still wowing crowds in Toronto, the west coast premiere (首场) of the Immersive Van Gogh Exhibit will bring the art of Vincent to life in Los Angeles.”（在巴黎举办的轰动展览吸引了200多万游客，在多伦多仍有令人惊叹的人群，而在西海岸举行的“沉浸式梵高展览”(Immersive Van Gogh exhibition)将把梵高的艺术带到洛杉矶。）和最后一段“Experience the organic landscapes of Van Gogh’s imagination, and journey through his brilliance and madness in a completely new and unforgettable way.”（体验梵高想象中的有机景观，以一种全新而难忘的方式穿越他的才华和疯狂。）可推知，文章的主要目的是为了吸引观众参观沉浸式梵高展览。故选A项。

Since 1936, many female space explorers have followed Russian astronaut Valentina Tereshkova. Let’s look at the missions (任务) of four important female astronauts to find out what astronauts do in space.
In 1983, Sally Ride became the first American women in space. Her team carried out scientific experiments in space and put two communications satellites in space. Satellites make it possible for us to communicate instantly with each other across the world through TV, radio, and telephones.
In 1984, Kathryn Sullivan became the first American women to walk in space. During her mission, she discovered important information about the sun’s energy and how it affects the climate in very hot and very cold places on Earth. She also took photographs of Earth and measured air pollution.
In 1992, Mae Jemison became the first African-American in space. During her mission, she did scientific experiments using the weightless atmosphere. In space, there is no gravity, so everything floats! Dr. Jemison’s experiments gave important information about the human body to produce better medicines and healthcare.
In 2012, Liu Yang became the first Chinese women in space. She did experiments in space medicine, which look at how astronauts can survive and stay healthy in space. The conditions in space are very hard on the body and space medicine helps astronauts work safely.

Music is a powerful thing. It awakens feelings and has the power to bring people together. But today, artists are not known for their music, but for how flashy their clothing is and how many times their wealthy relatives can get them out of jail(监狱). And thus, their music is lost.
Pop and rap music has developed into a shallow, image-addicted industry that lines up with what the public wants to hear and see, removing the focus on the actual music. Mainstream music is no longer composed of emotion, but instead, themes of money and fame. Photos and rumors fly while the music is ignored.
Not all musical groups or individual artists begin like this. Many of these artists are original and talented, but turn to the money side. Often their songs are written by experts who know what is appealing to a certain age group, and the musicians’ faces can be seen on countless magazine covers. Soon their supposedly new and improved songs can be heard blasting out of car windows. But these songs are totally empty, lacking creativity and the original thirst of the artist to make an impact or convey (传递) a message.
MTV is not helping. It plays only what the public wants to hear. And unfortunately, the majority seems interested in either sickly sweet, generic pop or stereotypical (刻板的), bleeped-out rap. Kids and teens everywhere are swimming in these songs, which are often degrading to women and minorities, and inappropriate.
Almost all the girls in my dorm are addicted to the same songs. This was the case the previous year, and the year before that. Whenever I try to play music I enjoy, or introduce them to some decent songs, they say that everyone except me likes their music.
Why do most teenagers only listen to pop and rap music when so many other types exist Maybe it’s because everywhere we look, we are bombarded with(被……轰炸) the same music: on the radio, on TV, on the computer. At school, pop and rap are discussed all the time. Perhaps they have never listened to anything else. Or maybe peer pressure is part of it.
There is no solution to the “pop problem”. It’s called popular for a reason—many people enjoy it. There’s no easy way to change their views. My suggestion is not to buy music like this when you can explore something new. Expand your horizons. Dig up your parents’ old records and CDs. You never know what you might find.
24. The author probably prefers ______.
A. new pop songs meant for girls
B. original songs with deep meaning
C. catchy songs produced by popular singers
D. never-heard-before songs just recently discovered
25. What can we learn from the passage
A. Many artists trade creativity for wealth and fame.
B. The public is responsible for the existence of music.
C. MTV promotes the songs favored by women and minorities.
D. Musicians singing about money is an ineffective way to attract fans.
26. What is most probably the author’s suggestion for young people
A. Try to respect your peers’ music tastes. B. Deal with the “pop problem” patiently.
C. Expose yourself to various music styles. D. Treasure the music from previous generations.
27. What would be the best title for the article
A. The Influence of Pop and Rap Music on Teenagers
B. The Decline of Musical Diversity in Youth Culture
C. The Impact of Mainstream Music Trends on Society
D. The Importance of Exploring Diverse Music Genres
【答案】24. B 25. A 26. C 27. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了主要讲述当下青年艺术家的音乐大多缺失了创造力和艺术家想传递的信息，多样性下降。建议年轻人要扩大视野，要关注音乐内在的内容。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Music is a powerful thing. It awakens feelings and has the power to bring people together.(音乐是一种强大的东西。它能唤醒感情，并能让人们团结在一起。)”，第二段“Mainstream music is no longer composed of emotion, but instead, themes of money and fame.(主流音乐不再以情感为主，而是以金钱和名誉为主题。)”以及第三段“But these songs are totally empty, lacking creativity and the original thirst of the artist to make an impact or convey(传递) a message.(但这些歌曲完全是空的，缺乏创造力和艺术家的原始渴望产生影响或传达消息。)”可知，作者推崇能够唤醒感情的音乐，批判以金钱和名誉为主题的音乐。即作者喜欢有创造性的能传递作者情感的音乐，而不是空洞的音乐。故选B。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Many of these artists are original and talented, but turn to the money side.(这些艺术家中有许多是原创的、有才华的，但却转向追求金钱名誉。)”可知，很多艺术家不再保持创造性，而是追求金钱名誉。故选A。
26题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段My suggestion is not to buy music like this when you can explore something new. Expand your horizons. Dig up your parents’ old records and CDs. You never know what you might find. (我的建议是，当你可以想要探索新事物时，不要购买这样的音乐。要扩大视野。翻出你父母的旧唱片CD，你永远不知道你会发现什么。)”可知，作者建议年轻人扩大视野，探索新事物，而不是只购买流行音乐，由此可推知，作者建议年轻人要接触不同的音乐风格。故选C。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段的“But today, artists are not known for their music, but for how flashy their clothing is and how many times their wealthy relatives can get them out of jail(监狱). And thus, their music is lost.(但是今天，艺术家们不是因为他们的音乐而出名，而是因为他们的服装有多华丽，他们富有的亲戚能把他们从监狱里救出来多少次。因此，他们的音乐丢失了。)”并通读全文可知，文章主要讲述当下青年艺术家的音乐大多缺失了创造力和艺术家想传递的信息，多样性下降。建议年轻人要扩大视野，要关注音乐内在的内容。因此推断B项“青年文化中音乐多样性的下降”作为本文的题目，与文章主题相符合。故选B。
D
The body gives off many gases. Although some smells may signal a need to bathe or that you ate a certain meal, other gases might point to serious disease. Now, researchers have come up with a system that uses earmuffs to catch the disease-signaling gases. Doctors could get the information as patients wear a set of earmuffs. Results could be ready within minutes.
“The ear is a good place to monitor,” explains Johnson, a biomedical engineer. The ear’s skin is fairly thin, he notes. So gases don’t have to travel far to get out of the blood and escape through skin pores.
To collect the gases, Johnson and his team selected earmuffs that make a tight seal with the head. These are the type people often wear to protect the ears from loud noise. His team made two holes in the muff covering one ear. A tube slowly pumped air in one hole. Another tube pulled air out of the second hole and sent it to a sensor.
In their tests, the team found that they could measure changes in the amount of alcohol coming from the skin of the ear. It could work much like a Breathalyzer that police use to test people for driving drunk. The team invited three men. Each had to avoid drinking alcohol for at least three days before taking part. Once in the lab, these men wore the earmuffs and sat for 10 minutes as the system recorded normal gas levels leaving their ears. Afterward, the men drank a big amount of alcohol. About 7 minutes later, the earmuff system tested out a rise in alcohol leaving the skin. After 50 minutes, alcohol levels reached the peak and continued falling until the test was over.
The team then measured other gases by changing out the sensor. With the right sensor, their earmuff system could test out disease. Later, they replaced the earmuffs with a one-eared version to make it a bit more comfortable.
Johnson imagines another possible benefit. The earmuff system could help doctors tell whether a child’s ear infections have been caused by bacteria or a virus. How Each type of infection exudes different gases. That, in turn, could guide how doctors cure the disease.
28. What makes the ear a good place to monitor
A. Its small size. B. Its thin skin.
C. Its clean surface. D. Its blood flow.
29. What did Johnson and his team find in their tests
A. Sensors should be examined in time. B. Drunk-driving tests were ineffective.
C. Serious diseases were difficult to identify. D. Their system could be used to tell diseases.
30. What does the underlined word “exudes” in Paragraph 6 most probably mean
A. Collects. B. Gives off. C. Cuts off. D. Uses.
31. In which section of a magazine is this passage most likely to appear
A. Politics. B. Business. C. Science. D. Entertainment.
【答案】28. B 29. D 30. B 31. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了研究人员提出了一种系统，使用耳罩捕捉疾病信号气体。当病人戴上一套耳罩时，医生就可以得到这些信息。结果可以在几分钟内出来。文章介绍了这种耳罩的工作原理以及优点。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段““The ear is a good place to monitor,” explains Johnson, a biomedical engineer. The ear’s skin is fairly thin, he notes.(“耳朵是监测的好地方，”生物医学工程师约翰逊解释说。他指出，耳朵的皮肤相当薄)”可知，耳朵成为监测的好地方是因为皮肤很薄。故选B。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“In their tests, the team found that they could measure changes in the amount of alcohol coming from the skin of the ear. It could work much like a Breathalyzer that police use to test people for driving drunk.(在他们的测试中，研究小组发现他们可以测量出来自耳朵皮肤的酒精量的变化。它的工作原理很像警察用来测试酒后驾驶的酒精测试仪)”以及倒数第二段中“With the right sensor, their earmuff system could test out disease.(有了合适的传感器，他们的耳罩系统就可以检测出疾病)”可知，约翰逊和他的团队在测试中发现他们的系统可以用来诊断疾病。故选D。
【30题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段中“The body gives off many gases.(身体释放出许多气体)”以及画线词上文“How Each type of infection”和后文“different gases”可知，每一种感染都会释放出不同的气体。故画线词意思是“释放”。故选B。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“The body gives off many gases. Although some smells may signal a need to bathe or that you ate a certain meal, other gases might point to serious disease. Now, researchers have come up with a system that uses earmuffs to catch the disease-signaling gases. Doctors could get the information as patients wear a set of earmuffs. Results could be ready within minutes.(身体释放出许多气体。虽然有些气味可能表明你需要洗澡或吃了一顿饭，但其他气体可能表明你患了严重的疾病。现在，研究人员提出了一种系统，使用耳罩捕捉疾病信号气体。当病人戴上一套耳套时，医生就可以得到这些信息。结果可以在几分钟内出来)”结合文章介绍了这种耳罩的工作原理以及优点。可推知，文章选自杂志的“科学”部分。故选C。

阅读下面短文和问题，根据短文内容和每小题后的具体要求，在答题卡相应题号后的横线上写下相关信息，完成对该问题的回答。答语要意思清楚，结构正确，书写工整。
Most people assume that the human brain is set on “automatic” —that means it learns all by itself. But this isn’t always true. We need to train ourselves to be better learners—to actively take part in the learning process and to reflect on what we have learnt. These kinds of learning behaviours are called “active learning”. I suggest doing five things to take an active role in your learning.
1. Listen to the outer voice
There are two kinds of voices: the inner voice and the outer voice. Your inner voice expresses your personal opinions, while the outer voice tells you about opinions from what you hear or read. Although your inner voice can be useful, it can also get in the way of learning. If you keep paying too much attention to it, you risk missing important information. Instead, active learners are open-minded and focus on what the speaker/ writer is saying, not on what their brain is saying in the background. In this way, they are in a better position to make decisions.
2. Argue with your inner voice
If you find your inner voice difficult to control, you can argue with it as most active learners do. When your inner voice tells you a speaker / writer is wrong, think about why the speaker / writer may be right. Be flexible in your opinions and you might end up agreeing with the speaker / writer after all. If not, at least you have “listened to” another point of view.
3. Ask questions
Asking questions is the easiest way to promote active learning. When you get information from someone, from books or the Internet, ask two, three, even five questions about the topic. The answers will lead you to further learning, and the very act of working out questions will help you to achieve a higher level of understanding about the topic. In short: Do not stop being curious
4. Get to the truth
Active learners do not accept everything they learn. They attempt to find the truth at the heart of each idea. Even when an idea sounds entirely unlikely, there may be an aspect of it that is based on truth. So if someone says that dinosaurs still exist today, think about why they believe this. Where does the idea come from Do they have enough data to support their views If you try to find out the source of an idea, no matter how crazy it seems, you will increase your chance of learning something.
5. Focus on the message
Many people miss out on learning opportunities because they let their feelings get in the way. They refuse to learn or ignore what is said because of who the speaker / writer is. It is true that we cannot help disliking some people—this is human nature, after all. But do not forget you can still learn from them. Active learners do not judge people based on first impressions or personal feeling. Instead, they separate the message from the messenger. This goes the other way as well—do not just assume that some people are always right because of who they are or just because they are your friends.

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了在主动学习中发挥积极作用的两个方面。
32题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第一段“We need to train ourselves to be better learners—to actively take part in the learning process and to reflect on what we have learnt. These kinds of learning behaviours are called “active learning”.(我们需要训练自己成为更好的学习者——积极参与学习过程，反思我们所学到的东西。这些学习行为被称为“主动学习”)”可知，“主动学习”是指积极参与学习过程，反思所学。故答案为To actively take part in the learning process and to reflect on what we have learnt.
【33题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第二段“Your inner voice expresses your personal opinions, while the outer voice tells you about opinions from what you hear or read. (你内心的声音表达了你的个人观点，而外在的声音告诉你你所听到或读到的观点)”可知，“外部声音”的作用是告诉你所听到或读到的观点。故答案为The outer voice tells you about opinions from what you hear or read./It tells you about opinions from what you hear or read.
【34题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第四段“Asking questions is the easiest way to promote active learning.(提问是促进主动学习最简单的方法)”可知，促进主动学习最简单的方法是问问题。故答案为Asking questions/ To ask questions.
【35题详解】
考查细节理解。根据最后一段“Many people miss out on learning opportunities because they let their feelings get in the way.(许多人错过了学习的机会，因为他们让自己的感觉挡住了去路)”可知，很多人错过了学习的机会因为他们让自己的感情挡了道。故答案为Because they let their feelings get in the way.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道，主要介绍的是上海同济大学退休物理教师吴於人的走红。
【46题详解】
考查名词。句意：吴於人，上海同济大学退休物理教师。根据客观事实可知，吴於人是物理教师，空格处意为“教师”，是teacher，空前有a，空格处用单数，故填teacher。
【47题详解】
考查主语从句。句意：使她如此受欢迎的是她简单而有趣的教学方式。空格处引导的是主语从句，从句中缺少主语，此处表示“使她如此受欢迎的是她简单而有趣的教学方式”，因此空格处用what引导主语从句，位于句首，首字母大写，故填What。
【48题详解】
考查介词。句意：许多学生认为物理是一门非常难的学科。regard...as...意为“认为……是……”，因此空格处是介词as，故填as。
【49题详解】

【50题详解】
考查动词时态。句意：他一讲完，珍妮就告诉他她想回家。此处为谓语动词的填入，根据该句As soon as“一……就……”引导的时间状语从句可知，主句为一般过去时，从句动作先于主句动作发生，所以为过去完成时。故填had finished。
【51题详解】
考查宾语从句。句意：在回家的路上，他问珍妮是否喜欢他的演讲。空格处应为连接词引导的宾语从句，结合句意可知，从句主谓宾结构完整，空处表示“是否”，应用连接词if/whether满足句意要求。故填if/whether。
【52题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：令他吃惊的是，她说她没有，因为她不喜欢看到那么多人嘲笑他！此处为非谓语动词作宾语补足语，构成短语see sb doing“看到某人正在做某事”，所以此处为现在分词形式。故填laughing。

【53题详解】
考查形容词。句意：根据一项研究，种植花木的人有健康的饮食，得到更多的锻炼，感觉更少的压力。根据空后的get more exercise, and feel less stress，可知，此处对“种植花木的人”与“不种植花木的人”进行比较，设空处在a与diet之间，应选形容词的比较等级healthier，作前置定语。故填healthier。
【54题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：研究人员研究了在人们一起工作的共享社区花园中园艺的好处。此处考查限制性定语从句，先行词为shared community gardens，在从句中作地点状语，应用关系副词where引导从句，故填where。
【55题详解】
考查名词复数。句意：他们认为，园艺可以减轻压力，因为它让人们接触大自然，而社区花园也提供了社交互动的机会。Because引导状语从句，expose作谓语动词，描述事实用一般现在时，主语是第三人称单数，故填exposes。
