Japanese scientists have created one of the world’s most unusual spacecraft, the LignoSat probe—a tiny wooden satellite, which will burn into biodegradable ash when it reenters the atmosphere. In experiments carried out on the International Space Station (ISS), it was found particularly stable and resistant to cracking.
The satellite has been built to see if biodegradable materials such as wood can act as environmentally friendly alternatives to the metals from which all satellites are currently constructed.
“All the satellites reentering the Earth’s atmosphere burn and create harmful particles, which will float in the upper atmosphere for years,” Takao Doi, a Japanese astronaut and aerospace engineer, warned recently. “Eventually, it will affect the environment of the Earth.”
To tackle the problem, Kyoto researchers set up a project to evaluate types of wood to determine how well they could withstand the severe conditions of space launch and lengthy flights in orbit round the Earth. The first tests were conducted in laboratories that recreated conditions in space, and wood samples were found to have suffered no measurable changes in mass or signs of decomposition or damage. “Wood’s ability to withstand these conditions astonished us,” said Koji Murata, head of the project.
After these tests, samples were sent to the ISS, where they were subjected to exposure trials for almost a year before being brought back to Earth. Again, they showed little signs of damage, a phenomenon that Murata attributed to the fact that there is neither oxygen in space which could cause wood to burn, nor living creatures to cause it to rot.
Several types of wood were tested, including Japanese cherry, with wood from magnolia trees proving to be the most robust. This has now been used to build Kyoto’s wooden satellite, said Murata.
4.What do the underlined words “the problem” probably refer to in paragraph 4
A. Particles floating in the atmosphere.

(阅读C、D，七选五，完形填空)
Our brains are “programmed” to learn more from people we like—and less from those we dislike. This has been shown by researchers in cognitive neuroscience (认知神经科学) in a series of experiments.
Memory serves a vital function, enabling us to learn from new experiences and update existing knowledge. We learn both from individual experiences and from connecting them to draw new conclusions about the world. This way, we can make inferences about things that we don’t necessarily have direct experience of. This is called memory integration and makes learning quick and flexible.
To examine what affects our ability to learn, and make inferences, Ines Bramao, associate-professor of psychology at Lund University, along with his co-workers, set up experiments where participants were tasked with remembering and connecting different objects. It could be a bowl, ball, spoon, scissors, or other everyday objects. It turned out that memory integration was influenced by who presented it. If it was a person the participant liked, connecting the information was easier compared to when the information came from someone the participant disliked. The participants provided individual definitions of “like” and “dislike” based on aspects such as political views, majors, eating habits, favorite sports, hobbies, and music.
The findings can be applied in real life, according to the researchers. Ines explained: “Suppose a politician argues for raising taxes to benefit healthcare. Later, you visit a healthcare center and notice improvements have been made. If you side with the politician that wanted to improve healthcare through higher taxes, you’re likely to credit the improvements to the tax increase, even though the improvements might have had a completely different cause.”
There’s already vast research describing that people learn information differently depending on the source and how that characterizes polarization and knowledge resistance. “What our research shows is how these significant phenomena can partly be traced back to fundamental principles that govern how our memory works，” says Ines. We tend to form new connections and update knowledge from information presented by groups we favor.
本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了认知神经科学的研究人员已经证实，人们倾向于从他们喜欢的人身上学习。
8.Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “programmed” in paragraph 1
A. Enhanced. B. Organized.
C. Desire-driven. D. Nature-decided.
D 词义猜测题。根据第一段中的“This has been shown by researchers in cognitive neuroscience (认知神经科学) in a series of experiments. (认知神经科学的研究人员在一系列实验中已经证明了
答案与解析
这一点)”可知，“Our brains are ‘programmed’” to learn more from people we like—and less from those we dislike.”是在一系列实验中发现的结果，属于客观性的事实，由此可推测出，画线词所在句表达的是：我们的大脑被“编程”为从我们喜欢的人那里学到更多，而从我们不喜欢的人身上学到更少，画线词意为“编程”，此处表达的是大脑先天就被决定的运行模式，与D项“自然决定的”意思最接近。故选D。

9.What did the experiments in paragraph 3 conclude
A. It’s easier to absorb favorable information.
B. It’s beneficial to focus on everyday objects.
C. Presenters matter in connecting information.
D. Life experiences affect people’s inferences.
C 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“It turned out that memory integration was influenced by who presented it. If it was a person the
答案与解析
participant liked, connecting the information was easier compared to when the information came from someone the participant disliked. (事实证明，记忆整合受呈现者的影响。如果是参与者喜欢的人，那么与信息来自参与者不喜欢的人相比，连接信息更容易)”可知，参与者的记忆整合受呈现者的影响，如果信息呈现者是参与者喜欢的人，那么连接信息会比较容易。由此可推测出，呈现者在连接信息方面起着重要作用。故选C。
答案与解析
10.How did Ines explain the application of his findings
A. By introducing a concept.
B. By making an assumption.
C. By employing an expert’s words.
D. By referring to another experiment.
B 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Ines explained: ‘Suppose a politician argues for raising taxes to benefit healthcare. Later, you visit a healthcare center and notice improvements have been made. If you side with the politician that wanted to improve healthcare through higher taxes, you’re likely to credit the improvements to the tax increase, even though the improvements might have had a completely different cause.’(Ines解释道：‘假设一位政治家主张提高税收以造
答案与解析
福医疗保健。后来，你去了一家医疗保健中心，发现情况有所改善。如果你支持希望通过提高税收来改善医疗保健的政治家，你很可能会将这些改善归功于增税，尽管这些改善可能有完全不同的原因。’)”可推测出，Ines在谈及这项发现在现实生活中的运用时，通过假设政治家主张通过增加税收来改善医疗保健的情况来进行解释。故选B。
答案与解析
11.What can be a suitable title for the text
A. How Brains Function in Learning
B. Who Impacts Memory Integration
C. How Brains Learn from Experiences
D. What Improves Long-term Memory
B 标题归纳题。通读全文，尤其是第一段第一句“Our brains are ‘programmed’ to learn more from people we like—and less from those we dislike. (我们的大脑被‘编程’为从我们喜欢的人那里学到更多，而从我们不喜欢的人身上学到更少)”、第二段“记忆起着至关重要的作用，使我们能够从新的经历中学习，更新现有的知识。我们既从个人经历中学习，也从将它们联系起来以得出关于世界的新结论中学习。通过这种方式，我们可以对我们不一定有直接经验的事情进行推断，这被称为记忆整合，使学习快速而灵活”和最后
答案与解析
一段最后一句“We tend to form new connections and update knowledge from information presented by groups we favor. (我们倾向于从我们喜欢的群体提供的信息中形成新的联系并更新知识)”可知，本文主要介绍了认知神经科学的研究人员已经证实，我们倾向于从我们喜欢的人身上学习，根据那些人提供的信息形成新的联系并更新知识，而这是记忆整合。由此可推测出，B项“谁影响了记忆整合”最适合作本文标题。故选B。
答案与解析
阅读D 体裁：说明文 主题语境：科普知识 难度：★★★ ☆
Some people today might be early risers because of DNA they take after Neanderthals tens of thousands of years ago, suggests new research.
When early humans migrated from Africa to Eurasia roughly 70，000 years ago, some of them mated with Neanderthals, who had already adapted to the colder, darker climates of the north. The ripple (涟漪) effects of that intermating still exist today: Modern humans of non-African ancestry (血统) have between 1 and 4 percent Neanderthal DNA. Some of that DNA relates to sleep more specifically, the internal body clock known as the circadian rhythm.
For the new study, researchers compared DNA from today’s humans and DNA from Neanderthal fossils (化石). In both groups, they found some of the same genetic variants involved with the circadian rhythm. And they found that modern humans who carry these variants also reported being early risers.
For Neanderthals, being “morning people” might not have been the real benefit of carrying these genes. Instead, scientists suggest, Neanderthals’ DNA gave them faster, more flexible internal body clocks, which allowed them to adjust more easily to annual changes in daylight. This connection makes sense in the context of human history. When early humans moved north out of Africa, they would have experienced variable daylight hours—shorter days in the winter and longer days in the summer for the first time. The Neanderthals’ circadian rhythm genes likely helped early humans’ offspring (后代) adapt to this new environment.
Notably, the findings do not prove that Neanderthal genes are responsible for the sleep habits of all early risers. Lots of different factors beyond genetics can contribute, including social and environmental influences. The study also only included DNA from a database called the U.K. Biobank—so the findings may not necessarily apply to all modern humans. Next, the research team hopes to study other genetic databases to see if the same link holds true for people of other ancestries. If the findings
do apply more broadly, they may one day be useful for improving sleep in the modern world, where circadian rhythms are disturbed by night shifts and glowing smartphones.
本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲的是一项新的研究表明，今天有些人之所以早起，可能是因为他们遗传了数万年前Neanderthal人的DNA。
12.What does the new research focus on
A. DNA’s dramatic changes.
B. Genes’ influence on early risers.
C. Neanderthals’ sleeping patterns.
D. Ancestors’ environmental adaptability.
B 细节理解题。根据第一段“一项新的研究表明，今天有些人之所以早起，可能是因为他们遗传了数万年前Neanderthal人的DNA。”可知，这项新研究的重点是基因对早起者的影响。故选B。
答案与解析
13.What is paragraph 2 intended to show concerning the new research
A. Historical context. B. Additional proof.
C. Sample analysis. D. Studying process.
A 主旨大意题。根据第二段中的“When early humans migrated from Africa to Eurasia roughly 70，000 years ago, some of them mated with Neanderthals, who had already adapted to the colder, darker climates of the north. The ripple (涟漪) effects of that intermating still exist today:
答案与解析
Modern humans of non-African ancestry (血统) have between 1 and 4 percent Neanderthal DNA. (大约7万年前，当早期人类从非洲迁移到欧亚大陆时，他们中的一些人与Neanderthal人交配，后者已经适应了北方更寒冷、更黑暗的气候。这种通婚的连锁反应至今仍然存在：非洲血统的现代人类有1%到4%的Neanderthal人的DNA。)”可知，第二段要说明的是这项研究的历史背景，故选A。
答案与解析
14.What is the real benefit of carrying Neanderthal’s DNA for modern humans
A. Getting up earlier.
B. Having healthier daily routines.
C. Being more flexible in their work.
D. Possessing a better circadian rhythm.
D 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Instead, scientists suggest, Neanderthals’ DNA gave them faster, more flexible internal body clocks, which allowed them to adjust more easily to annual changes in daylight. (相反，科学家们认为，Neanderthal人的DNA赋予了他们更快、更灵活的内部生物钟，这使他们更容易适应每年的日光变化。)”可知，携带Neanderthal人的DNA对现代人的真正好处是拥有更好的昼夜节律。故选D。
答案与解析
15.What can be inferred about the findings from the last paragraph
A. They get proof from other studies.
B. They are confirmed by early risers.
C. They suggest potential applications.
D. They reveal factors in sleeping disorders.
C 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“If the findings do apply more broadly, they may one day be useful for improving sleep in the modern world, where circadian rhythms are disturbed by night shifts and glowing smartphones. (如果这些发现确实适用于更广泛的领域，它们可能有一天会对改善现代社会的睡眠有用，因为昼夜节律受到夜班和发光的智能手机的干扰。)”可知，这些发现暗示了潜在的应用。故选C。

七选五 (新高考Ⅰ卷) 体裁：记叙文 主题语境：社会文化
难度：★★ ☆☆
My husband and I just spent a week in Paris. 1 So the first thing we did was rent a fantastically expensive sixth-floor apartment the size of a cupboard. It was so tiny that we had to leave our suitcases in the hallway.
The place wasn’t entirely authentic, though. Unlike a normal Parisian apartment, the plumbing (水管) worked. 2 Our building even had a tiny lift with a female voice that said, “Ouverture des portes，” in perfect French. That is the only French phrase I mastered, and it’s a shame I don’t have much use for it.
Parisians are different from you and me. They never look lazy or untidy. As someone noted in this paper a couple of weeks ago, they eat great food and never gain weight. 3 French strawberries do not taste like cardboard. Instead, they explode in your mouth like little flavor bombs.
4 On our first morning in Paris, I went around the corner to the food market to pick up some groceries. I bought a handful of perfectly ripe small strawberries and a little sweet melon. My husband and I agreed they were the best fruit we had ever eaten. But they cost $18!
In France, quality of life is much more important than efficiency (效率). You can tell this by café life. French cafés are always crowded.
5 When do these people work The French take their 35-hour workweek seriously—so seriously that some labor unions recently struck a deal with a group of companies limiting the number of hours that independent contractors can be on call.
A. Not all the customers are tourists.
B. The quality of life in France is equally excellent.
C. There was a nice kitchen and a comfortable bed.
D. The amazing food is mainly consumed by local farmers.
E. That’s not the only reason the French eat less than we do.
F. Our aim was to see if we could live, in some way, like real Parisians.
G. The food is so delicious that you don’t need much of it to make you happy.
本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者和丈夫在巴黎待了一周,体验了巴黎人的生活。
1.F 本空起到了承上启下的作用，空前讲到了“我和丈夫刚刚在巴黎待了一周”，空后一句讲到了“所以，我们做的第一件事情就是花大价钱租了一个橱柜大小、位于六层的公寓”，F项“我们的目的是看一下在某种程度上我们是否能像真正的巴黎人一样生活”符合语境。
答案与解析
2.C 空前一句讲到了“和通常的巴黎公寓不同，这里的水管可以使用”，空后一句讲到了“我们的楼里甚至还有一部小电梯，里面有个女人的声音，用完美的法语说‘Ouverture des portes’”，因此空处应与公寓的设施有关，故C项符合语境。
3.G 空前一句讲到了“他们吃得很好，却不发胖”，而空后一句讲到了“法国的草莓尝起来不像硬纸板，相反，它们会像小味道炸弹一样在你的嘴里爆炸”，因此空处讲到的应该是法国的食物带给人的感受，故G项符合语境。
答案与解析
4.E 本题需结合上一段内容作答，上一段讲到巴黎的食物非常美味，人们不需要吃太多就可以感到开心。空后讲述作者和丈夫购买食品杂货时发现巴黎的食物很贵，暗指法国人吃得少的另一个原因，故E项“那不是法国人比我们吃得少的唯一原因”符合语境。
5.A 空前一句讲到了“法国的咖啡馆总是爆满”，而空后一句讲到了“这些人什么时候去上班呢”，据此可知，空处应该会讲到咖啡馆里的一些人，故A项符合语境。
答案与解析

In a world filled with misconceptions about happiness, I was one of those people who 1 that happiness lay in big things, like a big house, a fancy car, a steady career and so on. But life had a 2 in store for me.
One weekend, my husband, Alex, 3 me to make some creme brulee (焦糖布丁). Excited by the idea, I 4 and set out to create the
delicious dessert. As we sat down for dinner, I 5 served the creamy masterpiece I had prepared. To my surprise, Alex reached into his pocket and magically 6 a delicate spoon with a small bear on it, which is my 7 decoration—I have a lot of bear things around the house. With a twinkle in his eyes, he handed the spoon to me, 8 it as my special spoon for creme brulee—just for me.
During the dinner, I was happy. And he, after 9 the creme brulee, was also happy. In that moment, I realized that the truest form of happiness lies in the 10 moments and contentment.
We started to appreciate the simple joys in life. We took 11 in parks, cooked meals together, and shared laughter in face of challenges. As time went on, the bear spoon became a 12 of our love. It reminded us to 13 the everyday moments and to appreciate the beauty of 14 . True happiness isn’t a destination to be 15 but a state of mind to be cultivated.

这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者曾经是认为幸福在于大事的人之一，像大房子、豪车、稳定的事业等等，但一次和丈夫吃焦糖布丁的经历，让作者开始珍惜每一天的每一刻，并欣赏简单的美。
答案与解析
1.B 考查动词词义辨析。句意：在一个对幸福充满误解的世界里，我是那些相信幸福在于大事的人之一，像大房子、豪车、稳定的事业等等。doubt “怀疑”; believe “相信”; prove “证明”; imagine “想象”。后文“that happiness lay in big things, like a big house, a fancy car, a steady career and so on(幸福在于大事，比如大房子、豪车、稳定的事业等等)”是作者相信的观点。故选B。
答案与解析
2.C 考查名词词义辨析。句意：但生活为我准备了一个惊喜。joke “玩笑”; story “故事”; surprise “惊喜”; challenge “挑战”。根据后文可知，作者本来认为幸福在于大事，比如大房子、豪车、稳定的事业等等，结果丈夫简单的举动让作者感到幸福，所以是生活给予的惊喜。故选C。

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。
Joey, once again, had taken his entire lunch plate and mixed all the food together. He did something like this pretty much every day at camp. “It’s an experiment,” he told the other campers. “Like what we do in class. It’s fun.” Joey was crazy about experiments, which usually consisted of taking one or more things, and combining them somehow, just like mixing all his food together. Joey would usually take a bite as part of the experiment, and would try to get the other kids at the table to try it too. However, almost nobody ever would like to. Joey’s experiments almost always tasted absolutely horrible.
Joey offered a bite of his unique lunch to the kids at his table. Eric, the only one who sometimes liked Joey’s experiments, decided to give it a try. But even he couldn’t eat more than a bite, which meant the table would lose their “wasted food challenge”—AGAIN.
As part of camp lunch, all the tables weighed their leftovers at the end of the meal. One by one, the tables would line up, empty their plates into a garbage can (垃圾桶), and then the garbage can would be weighed. Whichever table had the least amount of wasted food got to be first in line the next day at lunch. Whichever table had the most amount of wasted food had to stay and wash all the dishes. Each table had the same amount of campers, to be fair. The tables were each named after a different kind of tree. Joey’s table was the Scrub Pine table. Scrub Pine table had lost so many times that everyone laughed at them.
Everyone blamed Joey. He was always the one with the most leftovers. But Joey insisted it wasn’t his fault. He had a trick. Before each weighing, he always mashed up (捣烂) his mixture into the smallest ball possible. Almost everyone else’s plate was littered with uneaten food. Joey just had a ball in the corner of the plate.
Scrub Pine table had already washed dishes four days in a row, and it looked like it was about to be five.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;2.请在相应位置作答。
So Eric decided to find a way to figure out whose fault it was.

1.to preserve 考查非谓语动词。此处指人们背诵和吟唱诗篇的目的，应用不定式，故填to preserve。
2.oldest 考查最高级。根据空前的The world’s可知，此处指最古老的，应用形容词最高级，故填oldest。

5.be defined 考查动词的语态。主语poetry与define之间是被动关系，应用被动语态，且空前是情态动词can，故填be defined。

So Eric decided to find a way to figure out whose fault it was. He gathered the Scrub Pine table together and announced his plan： everyone would individually weigh their plates.

Joey, taking a glimpse at the “tiny ball” in the corner of his plate, felt confident about his trick. The Scrub Pine table then lined up, Joey at the end of the line.
One by one, Scrub Pine table each weighed their plates. Joey’s heart began pounding as he watched each plate being carefully weighed. Finally, it was his turn. He stared hard at the scale, expecting to witness a miracle. The trick failed him. It was indeed his fault! Embarrassed and ashamed, Joey apologized to his table and began with the dishes.
