“Why do I need to study math ” This is a question I used to ask every time I encountered difficult primary
school math questions or every time I did not feel like doing my math homework. Like many people, I once firmly
believed we study math merely to finish our homework and pass math exams and that math is only relevant to those
who would like to pursue a career as scientists. However, this perception later turned out to be absolutely
ridiculous.
One turning point was when I was 16, while washing dishes, I noticed that the soap bubbles（泡沫） were
packed together like a honeycomb, but not all of these shapes were perfectly round. Why did some of the bubbles
look like hexagons（六边形） Why didn’t I see any star- shaped bubbles When I learned that math could help
answer these questions, I realized math pops up even in our kitchen sink.
You may worry that learning many topics in elementary school, like percentages and measurements, is a waste
of time. But your concern is definitely unnecessary. Look at these examples and you’ll know what I mean. If you
want to build a fence around your house or paint your walls a new color, all of those activities require knowledge
about measurement and scaling. More complicated construction projects, such as building a tree house, require lots
of mathematical problem- solving skills.
Studios like Pixar rely on ideas from geometry （几何学） to bring characters like Ember from Elemental to
life. With an understanding of geometric transformations like reflections, rotations and translations, you can use
your computer to make your own animated films.
Many high- paying jobs use math, especially probability. Understanding probability helps doctors identify how
effective medical treatments will be, informs coaches about ways their teams can improve and aids code experts in
keeping private information secret.
Math is so much more than filling out homework problem sets. So next time you kick back to watch your
favorite animated movie, or start saving up for a fancy tech device, hopefully, you’ll appreciate how math is
integrated into so many parts of life.
4．What is many people’s common misunderstanding about math
A．It is a very complex subject.
B．It is useless outside of academic settings.
C．Math exams are too challenging for many pupils.
D．Math scores can be boosted greatly through homework.
5．The author’s experience with soap bubbles highlights ______.
A．the artistic beauty of soap bubbles
B．the role of chemistry in soap bubble formation
C．the unexpected presence of math in daily situations
D．the importance of observation skills in everyday life
6．Why are several examples mentioned in Paragraph 3
A．To emphasize the complexity of some math concepts.
B．To demonstrate the value of foundational math skills.
C．To prove the significance of problem- solving abilities.
D．To show the challenges of practical applications of math.
7．What can be the best title for the text
A．Math Is Here, There, and Everywhere
B．How Should Math Be Taught in Schools
C．Math Is Still a Universal but Difficult Language
D．Can Math Help Us Unlock Good Job Opportunities
C
If a word is said or looked at steadily for some little time, it will be found to take on a curiously strange and
foreign aspect. This is a phenomenon called semantic satiation that affects our understanding of words when they
are mentioned too often.
The term was created by psychologist Leon James. He conducted several experiments to explore how the
concept affects our thinking and found that it is a kind of tiredness called reactive inhibition（反应性抑制）. When
a brain cell fires, it takes more energy to fire afterwards, and finally it won’t even respond unless you wait a few
seconds.
For example, “Black Friday （a shopping day）” is no longer as appealing as it once was. We’ve repeated
“Black Friday” so much that it is now as indistinct as the packages of common Wal- Mart string cheese that you go
past hurriedly on your way to argue over a half- price vegetable steamer at 3 a. m. Hence, marketers are
reconsidering their sales strategies.
One experiment he conducted sought to explore whether semantic satiation could be used to lessen stuttering
（口吃）. He had an assistant call a stuttering participant and they talked on the phone for one minute, creating a
situation that increased anxiety as there were no alternative means of communication for the participant other than
speaking. Ten minutes later, the assistant called again. And the cycle was repeated 10 times throughout the day. The
goal was to induce （诱发） semantic satiation in the stuttering participant related to the emotion of the stress-
inducing phone call. And he says it worked.
Any word can be the victim of semantic satiation, but the amount of time before words lose meaning can vary,
with words that can draw out strong emotions taking longer due to the brain cycling through other associations with
the words. One study showed that when presented with a tone, the sleeping cat immediately woke up. But as they
played the tone again and again, the cat took time to wake up each time, until it kept on sleeping. But when the tone
was varied slightly, the cat woke up immediately. Therefore, when teachers assign word memorization exercises to
students, it is wise to avoid repetitive memorization or the words will become meaningless to students.
8．Which of the following can best explain “semantic satiation”
A．It’s a kind of serious language learning disability.
B．It’s a reflection of the subjective nature of language.
C．It’s a practice of rearranging letters to form new words.
D．It’s an occurrence arising from the repetition of words.
9．How does semantic satiation affect “Black Friday” according to the text
A．People lose their craze for “Black Friday”. B．People start buying Wal- Mart string cheese.
C．People merely show interest in goods on sale. D．People make the best of some shopping strategies.
10．What’s the result of the experiment involving a stuttering participant
A．The participant’s stuttering improved. B．The participant’s stuttering was cured.
C．The participant became more stressed. D．The participant failed to communicate.
11．What’s the implication of the cat experiment f o n teachers
A．Delivering classes in a clear tone.
B．Employing variations in word exercises.
C．Highlighting the importance of the word meaning.
D．Encouraging students to get up early in the morning.

Lorian Schweikert, a biologist at the University of North Carolina, was fishing in the Florida Keys when she
caught a hogfish —a type of fish that’s known for its ability to change colors. Schweikert dropped it on the boat
deck and continued fishing. When she later went to get the fish back, she was shocked to find that it had changed
color to perfectly match the white deck — complete with little black circles that looked like the floor.
In 2018, Schweiker t found that hogfish carry a gene for a light- sensitive protein called opsin（视蛋白） that
is activated in their skin, and that this gene is different from the opsin genes found in their eyes. Other color-
changing animals have been found to have light- sensing opsins in their skin, too. But exactly how “skin vision”
works remains a mystery.
In a new study, Schweiker t and biologist Sonke Johnsen teamed up to take a closer look at hogfish ‘s skin.
They took pieces of skin from different parts of the fish ‘s body and took pictures of the skin under a microscope.
Up close, a hogfish’s skin looks like a special painting. Each dot of color is a specialized cell called a
chromatophore（色素体）containing granules of pigmen（t 色素颗粒）that can be red, yellow or black. They found
that the light- sensitive protein was concentrated in a specific area right below the chromatophores.
It’s the movement of these pigment granules that changes the skin color. Their findings suggest that the fish’s
light- sensitive opsins act somewhat like internal Polaroid film （柯达即时成像胶片）, catching changes in the
light that can pass through the pigment- filled cells above as the pigment granules gather or spread. “The animaIs
can literally take a photo of their own skin from the inside.” Johnsen said. “In a way, opsins can tell the animal
what its skin looks like.”
Lauren Sumner- Rooney, a researcher who wasn’t involved in the study, said, “This is the first time we’ ve
seen a strong body of evidence for exactly how this works in fish — skin light sensing has been a rather mysterious
ability for a long time. The hogfish seems like a great model to explore further questions.”
12．What did Schweiker t find shocking about the hogfish’
A．It pretended to be dead. B．It changed its shape rapidly.
C．It displayed attractive skin color. D．It was integrated with the surroundings.
13．What does the new study aim to figure out
A．What the function of the opsin genes is.
B．Why color- changing animals can sense the surroundings.
C．How opsins in hogfish’s skin help them change colors.
D．Which opsins in hogfish’s skin differ from those in their eyes.
14．Why does the author mention the Rolaroid film in Paragraph 4
A．To highlight the spread of the granules of pigment.
B．To explain the role of the light- sensitive opsins.
C．To introduce a new discovery about fish’s vision.
D．To stress the importance of pigment granules’ movement.
15．What is Lauren Sumner- Rooney’s attitude towards the study findings
A．Appreciative. B．Cautious. C．Objective. D．Dismissive.

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。
Public transportation is not fully used across the globe, even if good transport systems are in place. 16
There are three primary reasons listed below, which all can be solved by good urban planning.
17 For example, in Barcelona, 30% of daily trips are carried out by public transport. In contrast, in
Atlanta, this figure drops to 4%. Since Barcelona is 30 times dense（r 更密集的）than Atlanta, it is easier to provide
reliable public transport services.
Accessibility is another key factor in public transportation usage. In a comparison of three international cities,
though one of them has the highest population density, its public transport use is less than the other two cities.
18
Walkability is also a major component that matters. Studies show that well- maintained and safe streets
encourage people to use public transportation 19 By contrast, narrow or poorly- maintained sidewalks, and
fewer trees make streets less walkable. It is in these types of urban environments that people are significantly less
likely to use public transport, even if it is only 100 meters away from their homes.
Nowadays, city planners have attached great importance to the construction of more public transportation
infrastructure （基础设施）. 20 And it can promote good urban mobility （移动性） at the same time.
However, urban planners should also understand that factors related to the urban fabric （结构） also impact if and
how public transport is used. So efforts should also be devoted to improving public environments to encourage the
use of public transport, which will result in healthier cities and communities.
A．Why is this the case
B．This emphasis aims to reduce the reliance on private vehicles.
C．The trend causes cities to become more and more advanced.
D．A．city’s density directly impacts how public transport services are provided.
E．People in big cities need to get out of their cars and use public transportation.
F．In such urban environments, people are likelier to go further to access public transport.
G．It’s due to its very wide streets, large street blocks and buildings set far from the street edges.

The first trip was 23 , as we battled groups of noisy babies and pupils on a Sunday. 24 to make the

After finishing my first marathon, I felt I could conquer（征服） anything. As I rested my aching legs, I read a
friend’s article about a 70.3 triathlon （铁人三项） she had completed. She described the race as fun. Her story
inspired me — should I attempt a triathlon myself
I liked running, but cycling and swimming weren’t my strengths I had always categorized the triathlon as one
of those things I’ll never do. However, encouraged by my marathon success, I found a 70.3 triathlon and registered.
I told my coach that my goal was to finish the race within 7 hours. She thought I might make it if I followed a
training plan. Training, however, was tough. Every day, I had a big workout that left me exhausted. Many times I
considered quitting. But I wanted to push myself and try something challenging. So I persevered with the training
plan.
Finally, the race day arrived. I stood on the beach in the early morning. Three triathlon races were being held
that day, and I had signed up for the longest — the 70.3 triathlon: a 1.2- mile swim, a 56- mile bike ride, and a 13.1-
mile run.
People around me wore fancy triathlon suits and waterproof watches. “Are you doing the 70.3 triathlon ” I
asked. To my surprise, they were all competing in the shorter races. I started panicking Everyone looked younger
and fitter than I was.
I walked through the crowds until I found another 70.3 competitor —a strong man who was young enough to
be my son. My anxiety increased, and I was consumed with doubt as to whether I could even complete the race.
I heard thunder as rain started hitting the beach, hoping the race would get canceled. But an announcer
declared the weather was improving and the race would soon begin. With no choice but to proceed, I made my way
to the starting line. As I swam, I repeated to myself, “Don’t drown.” I was behind a woman who seemed to be going
the same speed, so I followed her lead. Eventually, I was out of the water.
The rain stopped, and the swim was over. My day was looking up. Cheerfully, I started the bike ride.
Paragraph 1:
Unfortunately, minutes later, it was pouring again with strong winds. _____________________________
