Section Ⅰ Introduction & Reading and Vocabulary—Comprehending
阅读理解
A
A home science experiment recently took the world by storm. Two teens from Toronto, in Canada, sent a Lego man rising above the Earth and captured their tiny astronaut’s trip on film.
Mathew Ho and Asad Muhammad, both 17, used a weather balloon to launch their plastic lego model 16 miles above the Earth. This is inside a part of Earth’s atmosphere.
The two teens were inspired by a similar project performed by students at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). The MIT students had launched a weather balloon with a camera into near space and taken many unusual images of the Earth. Mathew and Asad then spent four months figuring out how to launch their own spacecraft into the space.
Traveling to space is expensive for NASA, but Mathew and Asad worked hard to keep their costs down. They bought much of their equipment used and even sewed the Lego man’s parachute (降落伞) by hand. In total, the project cost only $400.
“We had a lot of anxiety on launch day because there were high winds when we were going up，” Mathew told reporters. They had to pump extra helium (氦) into the balloon so that it would rise quickly and avoid being blown too far off course by the strong winds.
The toy astronaut’s journey lasted 97 minutes before the balloon broke and he fell back to Earth. Mathew and Asad then spent two weekends looking for their spacecraft. It had landed 76 miles away from the launch site.
The student scientists are currently finishing up their final year of high school and applying for colleges. They are also looking into more do?it?yourself space projects.
“I guess the sky is not really the limit anymore，” Mathew told reporters. “We never knew we’d get this far. It’s been a lesson for us that hard work pays off.”

(2019·成都高二期末)Isabel has turned down two job offers in the past year. The first job she considered was the director of HR for a company in Utah. After the initial interviews，she felt the job fit her except for the location. Still，she flew west to meet the hiring manager. The hiring manager explained that Isabel was the top candidate for the job but that，before she continued with the process，she should better understand the firm’s culture. She directed Isabel to several videos of the company’s CEO，who regularly appeared in front of the company in costume as part of morale building exercises and expected his senior leaders to do the same.“Even though I was desperate for a job，I knew I couldn’t do that，” Isabel says. She called the company to turn down the job and explained that she didn’t feel there was a cultural fit.
A few months later，she had an interview for another job：a director of employee relations at a local university. After several interviews，the hiring manager told her the job was hers if she wanted it. The job had many positives：it provided a low stress environment，it offered great benefits，and the university was an employee friendly place. But the job was relatively junior despite the title and Isabel worried it wouldn’t be challenging enough. Finally，she turned it down.“It would be great to have a pay check and great benefits but I would definitely have trouble sleeping at night，” she says.
In both cases，she was frank with the hiring managers about why she wasn’t taking the jobs.“In the past，it felt like dating，and I was worried about hurting people’s feelings，”she says. However，they appreciated her frankness and thanked her for her honesty. She says it was hard to turn down the jobs and it was a risk for her financially but she felt she had to.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇记叙文，文章主要讲述了Isabel拒绝两份工作的经历和感想。
5．Which factor made Isabel turn down the first job finally?
A．The company’s location.
B．The initial interviews.
C．The firm’s culture.
D．The hiring manager.
C 解析：细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“She called the company to turn down the job and explained that she didn’t feel there was a cultural fit.”可知，Isabel认为这种企业文化不适合自己，所以拒绝了这份工作，故C项正确。
6．What does the underlined word “junior” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A．Challenging. B．Easy.
C．Beneficial. D．Stressful.
B 解析：词义猜测题。根据画线词所在句“But the job was relatively junior despite the title and Isabel worried it wouldn’t be challenging enough.”可知，尽管这份工作的头衔不错，但是Isabel担心这份工作没有足够的挑战性，即这份工作相对容易；据此可以判断，画线词意为“容易的”，故B项正确。
7．What is the most important thing for Isabel in job hunting?
A．Being truthful to others.
B．A job with a stable income.
C．A relaxing working atmosphere.
D．Avoiding hurting people’s feelings.
A 解析：细节理解题。根据第三段倒数第二句“However，they appreciated her frankness and thanked her for her honesty.”可知，虽然Isabel拒绝了这两份工作，但是人事部经理仍然欣赏她的坦率，并感谢她的诚实；据此可知，Isabel在寻找工作时诚实待人是她最重要的品质，故A项正确。
8．The above text is most likely intended for the________．
A．director of HR B．librarian
C．doctor D．artist
A 解析：推理判断题。通读全文可知，本文主要讲述了Isabel拒绝人力资源总监和大学员工关系主管这两份工作的经历和感想；据此可以判断，人力资源总监会从她的经历中得到启示，故A项正确。

Satellites are an important part of our ordinary lives. For example, the information for weather forecasts is sent by satellite. Some satellites have cameras which take photographs of the Earth to show how clouds are moving. Satellites are also used to connect our international phone calls.
Computer connections of the World Wide Web and Internet also use satellites. Many of our TV programs come to us through satellites. Airplane pilots also sometimes use a satellite to help them find their exact location.
We use satellites to send television pictures from one part of the world to another. They are usually 35，880 kilometers above the equator. Sometimes we can see a satellite in the sky and it seems to stay in the same place. This is because it is moving around the world at 11, 000 kilometers an hour—exactly the same speed that the Earth rotates. A satellite must orbit the Earth with its antennae (天线) facing the Earth. Sometimes, it moves away from its orbit, so there are little rockets on it which are used to put the satellite back in the right position. This usually happens about every five or six days.
Space is not empty! Every week, more and more satellites are sent into space to orbit the Earth. A satellite usually works for about 10－12 years. Satellites which are broken are sometimes repaired by astronauts or sometimes brought back to Earth to be repaired. Often, very old or broken satellites are left in space to orbit the Earth for a very long time. This is very serious because some satellites use nuclear power and they can crash into each other.
【解题导语】 卫星不仅在科学探索方面起着重要作用，而且在我们的生活中也起着非常重要的作用。

Pollution’s serious effects on the environment have become more obvious in recent years. Most scientists agree that efforts are necessary to protect our environment from further harm.
As we know，the construction industry consumes a large quantity of energy and resources and creates a huge amount of pollution. So green buildings are in great need.
The environmental benefits of green buildings include the protection of ecosystems and biodiversity (生物多样性)，improved air and water quality，less waste flowing into streams and the protection of natural resources. Green buildings can also result in lower operating costs because they typically use less energy and fewer materials and improve indoor air quality，improving the health of people who live there.
The process of building green houses includes technical and artistic planning with nature protection in mind. Building designs often reflect the surrounding environment and natural resources and use renewable building materials such as bamboo and straw. In addition，recycled resources found locally are used for green buildings，reducing the cost and air pollution associated with transporting materials long distances.
Careful site selection is important to minimize (使减少到最低限度) human effects on the surrounding environment. For example，placing a structure in an area that allows it to take advantage of cool breezes (微风) and sunlight can reduce energy use and expenses. More energy and expenses are needed for larger buildings as well，so it is important to build the small ones.
Green roofs are another feature of green houses that reduce energy use and costs. These roofs are partially or completely covered with plants，which helps to keep heating and cooling costs low，prevent water running off and deal with pollutants.
Other features of green buildings often include energy and water protection，recycling and waste reduction. In addition，renewable energy sources such as solar power，waterpower and wind power are used for heat and electricity，which greatly reduces costs and decreases the influence on the environment.
【解题导语】 本文主要介绍了绿色建筑的优势和特色。
5．What can we know about green buildings?
A．Producing no waste.
B．Only using clean energy.
C．Being made of new materials.
D．Being environment friendly.
D 解析：推理判断题。根据对全文的整体理解特别是第三段的内容可推知，绿色建筑整体上是环保的，故选D。

What to Do When Someone Doesn’t Like You
When someone tells me “I don’t care if people like me”，they are showing me the emotional wall they use to block the hurt of rejection.
As humans are social animals，all of us care if people like us. Based on the need for social connection，your reactions to rejection and negative judgment can range from minor hurt to outbreaks of depression. 1.________
The first step to handle a negative situation is to recognize your reaction. Ask yourself，“What am I feeling？”2.________ Any betrayal (背叛) or embarrassment in your heart? Identify what feeling has shown up in your body，so you can choose what to do next.
3．________ When you sense yourself shutting down or feeling defensive，ask yourself what the person actually meant to do to you. Did they truly mean to offend you，or make fun of you? Your brain works very hard to keep you safe，so it will judge a situation as threatening if there is any possibility of social harm.
When our brains sense a possible threat，we react as if we were personally attacked. Take a breath to relieve the stress. 4.________
Finally，if you believe the person doesn’t like you，ask yourself if this matters. 5.________ If not，what can you do to release your need to be liked by this person? And，what can you do to stay neutral and not return the dislike? The more you can come to accept others as who they are，the more you can move forward with your goals regardless of if someone likes you or not.
A．If you can，look the person in his eyes.
B．Do you feel any fear or anger in your head?
C．Ask yourself what is true about the situation.
D．Often people do not realize the impact of their words.
E．Will the person’s judgment of you impact your work or life?
F．The ability to let a show of dislike roll off your back is a learned skill.
G．This will ground you in the present and take you out of your trembling mind.
【解题导语】 本文主要介绍了如何摆脱不受别人喜欢的情况的方法和策略。
1．F 解析：由空处承接下文“The first step to handle a negative situation is to recognize your reaction.”可推知，本空是一个承上启下的过渡句，即应对别人的拒绝和负面评价是一种可以学习的技能，下文具体阐述如何达成这种技能，所以选F项。
2．B 解析：由空处承接上文“Ask yourself，‘What am I feeling？’”可推知，此处表示个人的感情倾向，与下文“Any betrayal (背叛) or embarrassment in your heart？”呼应，所以选B项。
3．C 解析：由空处承接下文“When you sense yourself shutting down or feeling defensive，ask yourself what the person actually meant to do to you.”可知，本段主要讲的是要搞清楚真实的状况，然后再具体地应对，故选C项。
4．G 解析：由空处承接上文“Take a breath to relieve the stress.”可推知，空处应进一步讲这样做的好处，所以选G项。
5．E 解析：由空处承接上文“Finally，if you believe the person doesn’t like you，ask yourself if this matters.”可推知，搞清楚他人的不喜欢对自己是否有影响对接下来的应对很重要，这种影响可能是工作或生活上的，所以选E项。

On Friday，December 11，2015，I visited NASA’S Lyndon B． Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas.
My first stop was the Space Food Systems Laboratory，where I met with Ben O’Neil, a food scientist.He makes and packages food for astronauts in space.I got to taste mixed fruits, Italian veggies，beef ravioli, blueberry cobbler, shrimp cocktail, and a mango peach smoothie.Space food tastes like the food we eat on Earth.That’s because it is.Space food is made out of ingredients you can find at your grocery store.A special process is applied to keep the important nutrients that space explorers need to stay healthy.
Next, I met with astronaut Terry Virts, who recently spent six months living and working on the International Space Station (ISS)．“At an early age I wanted to be a pilot，” Virts told me.“But after reading the book Apollo, I decided to be an astronaut.” I asked if he was scared the first time he went into space.“No，” he said.“I was more concerned with not letting anyone down.Now, thinking back, I should have been afraid because of the 40，000 pounds of explosives under me at take?off.”
As my visit continued, I learned about NASA’s new Orion spacecraft that is designed to take astronauts farther into space than ever before.I talked to Stu McClung, Orion’s spacecraft engineer, and toured the model spacecraft.McClung showed me the control panel (控制面板) and allowed me to strap into a launching seat.He also showed me a video that explains what happens when a spacecraft re?enters Earth’s atmosphere.
My last meeting was with Lucien Junkin, a NASA robotics engineer who helps to create rovers and humanoids.Rovers are space exploration vehicles and humanoids are robots that do work or activities in space similar to what humans do on Earth.I even got to drive a rover.
【解题导语】 作者去参观了NASA的林顿·约翰逊太空中心，本文是对那次经历的描述。
1．When tasting food provided by Ben O’Neil, the author ________．
A．felt sad about astronauts in space
B．never wanted to try the food again
C．didn’t think the food tasted different
D．learned the food wasn’t very nutritious
C 解析：推理判断题。根据第二段的“Space food tastes like the food we eat on Earth.That’s because it is.”可推断，作者不觉得那些食物味道有什么特别的。
2．How did Terry Virts most probably feel after reading Apollo?
A．Concerned. B．Shocked.
C．Confused. D．Inspired.
D 解析：推理判断题。根据第三段的“But after reading the book Apollo, I decided to be an astronaut.”可推断，Terry Virts读完这本书后很受鼓舞。
3．What did the author learn about from Stu McClung?
A．Space travel.
B．Earth’s atmosphere.
C．An advanced spacecraft.
D．The history of spacecraft.
C 解析：细节理解题。根据第四段的“As my visit continued, I learned about NASA’s new Orion spacecraft that is designed...”以及“McClung showed me the control panel (控制面板) and allowed me to strap into a launching seat.”可知，从McClung那里，作者了解到了一艘先进的飞船。
4．Which of the following did the author do last there that day?
A．Talk with an astronaut.
B．Drive a model spacecraft.
C．Taste a mango peach smoothie.
D．Drive a space exploration vehicle.
D 解析：细节理解题。根据末段的“I even got to drive a rover.”可知，作者在那里做的最后一件事是尝试开一次太空探测车。

From the first use of the rocket to carry satellites into space to the setting up of space stations, human beings have been putting great efforts into space research. And so far，we have achieved many successes. But there are still numerous tasks in front of us and we should not cease trying progress.
The international space station is an important step we should take in space exploration. It is not only helpful but also essential. It provides a proper space environment for many experiments that we have wanted to do for a long time. It is also a base for the observations of the earth and the universe. It could also be an important base for later travel to the moon and Mars. In a word，if we want to explore space more, the first thing we should do is to set up a space station.
As the space station costs a lot of money, it is hard for one country alone to establish one. The USA seems to be the only country that has the ability to build a space station alone, and it has tried to do so, but not very successful. So it aggregated (聚集) many other countries to work on it together. Though it is still extremely expensive, it is much cheaper than doing it alone. It is really a job that needs everyone’s effort and will benefit everyone.
But even so, the funds needed are still a big problem. As for the USA, it seems that it has too many things to spend its money on. Although it is the richest country in the world, it has much debt every year. It has to make arrangements about its finance, and try to find a balance in all these issues.
【解题导语】 文章主要介绍了国际空间站的建设问题。
1．What is the author’s attitude towards building and developing the international space station?
A．Supportive. B．Doubtful.
C．Critical. D．Dissatisfied.
A 解析：观点态度题。根据第一段最后一句中的“...we should not cease trying progress.”和文中作者介绍国际空间站的重要性可知，作者对建设国际空间站持支持态度。
2．From Paragraph 2 we learn that ________．
A．the necessity of building the international space station is not realized now
B．many experiments have been done in the international space station
C．the international space station is necessary for people to explore space more
D．people have traveled to Mars from the international space station
C 解析：推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句“In a word，if we want to explore space more，the first thing we should do is to set up a space station.”可知，国际空间站是进行太空探索所必需的。
3．Which of the following is NOT a reason for countries’ cooperation in building the international space station?
A．That it requires a lot of money.
B．That it needs everyone’s effort.
C．That it will benefit every participating country.
D．That it is too far away from the earth.
D 解析：细节理解题。根据第三段中的“As the space station costs a lot of money...”和“It is really a job that needs everyone’s effort and will benefit everyone.”可知，A、B、C三项均有提到，而文中没有提到D项。

【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了应该如何处理剩饭。
1．have been 解析：考查动词的时态。根据后面的状语for a long time可知，指长时间一直放在冰箱里的剩饭，故用be的现在完成时态。

3．harmful 解析：考查形容词。“有害的”，作定语修饰名词。
4．Fortunately 解析：考查副词。“幸运的是”，副词修饰整个句子。

6．before 解析：考查连词。根据前后两个分句的语义可知，这里指剩饭放入冰箱前可以先凉一凉。
7．for 解析：考查介词。for后面接时间，表示一段时间。
8．be sealed 解析：考查动词的语态。定语从句中谓语动词和先行词是被动关系，指容器被密封，情态动词的被动语态为：情态动词＋be done。

10．the 解析：考查冠词。这里特指食物中毒的风险。

One possible version：
With the development of science and technology，it is not difficult for people to explore outer space. But every coin has two sides; so does outer space exploration.
There are many advantages. Firstly，outer space exploration contributes not only to the improvement of the quality of human life，but also to our getting more new energy resources as the energy resources on Earth are running out. Secondly，the science and technology capability of a nation can be shown by its space exploration. In spite of these advantages，there is also one disadvantage. Every year much money and energy are put into the program which might be used to help the poor otherwise.
As far as I am concerned，we should continue to explore outer space. Perhaps it will bring ever more benefits in the future as long as we take advantage of it in a right way.

I’ve never been the kind of person to say, “It’s the thought that counts” when it comes to gifts. That was until a couple of weeks ago, when my kids gave me a present that blew me away．
For years now, I’ve been wanting to sell our home, the place where my husband and I raised our kids. But to me, this house is much more than just a building.
In the front room, there’s a wall that has hundreds of pencil lines, marking the progress of my children’s growth.
Every growth stage is marked in grey, with each child’s name and the date when they were measured. Of all the objects and all the memories, it’s this one thing in a home that’s the hardest to leave behind. Friends I know have returned home after work only to discover their wall of heights has been freshly painted over. A new paint job wouldn’t normally be greeted by tears, but erasing that evidence of motherhood hurts more than it should. Our kids grow in so many ways, but the wall is physical evidence of their progress, right there for everyone to see.
Over the years, I’ve talked about how much I would hate leaving that wall behind when I moved, even though the last marks were made 10 years ago when my kids stopped growing.
So one day, while I was at work, my children decided to do something about it.
They hired Jacquie Manning, a professional photographer whose work is about capturing (捕捉) the beautiful things in life, from clear lakes and skies to diamonds and ballgowns (晚礼服)．
She came to our house while I was at work, and over several hours, took photos of the hundreds of drawings and lines, little grey fingerprints (指纹), and old marks. Somehow, she managed to photograph all those years of memories perfectly. Afterwards, she put all the photos together into one image, transforming them into a beautiful history of my family.
Three weeks later, my children’s wonderful gift made its way to me—a life?size photo of the pencil lines and fingerprints that represents entire lifetimes of love and growth.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了孩子们送给“我”的一件充满爱意且特别的礼物的事情。
24．The underlined phrase “blew me away” in Paragraph 1 probably means “________”．
A．attracted me B．surprised me
C．accepted me D．refused me
B 解析：词义猜测题。根据第一段中的“I’ve never been the kind of person to say，‘It’s the thought that counts’...when my kids gave me a present”及下文的描述可知，“我”以前不相信送礼物的人的心思最重要，但几个星期前“我”的孩子们送给“我”的礼物让“我”改变了这样的想法，所以此处表示使“我”吃惊。
25．What does the house really mean to the author?
A．A house. B．A building.
C．Objects. D．Memories.
D 解析：推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Of all the objects and all the memories，it’s this one thing in a home that’s the hardest to leave behind.”可知，对作者来说这栋房子意味着回忆。
26．What surprised the friends the author know after work?
A．Finding the wall repainted.
B．Erasing the fingerprints.
C．Greeting them by tears.
D．Leaving the wall unfinished.
A 解析：细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Friends I know have returned home after work only to discover their wall of heights has been freshly painted over.”可知，令朋友们吃惊的是房屋的墙面又被重新粉刷了。
27．What is the best title for the text?
A．Gift Made with Love
B．Buildings Made by Children
C．A Very Wonderful Painting
D．A Family History
A 解析：标题归纳题。根据全文内容，尤其是最后一段“Three weeks later，my children’s wonderful gift made its way to me—a life?size photo of the pencil lines and fingerprints that represents entire lifetimes of love and growth.”可知，这篇文章主要讲述了孩子们送给“我”的一份用爱制成的礼物，故A项作本文标题最佳。

Some people are so rude!
Who sends an e－mail or a text message that just says “Thank you”？ Who leaves a voice mail message rather than texts you? Who asks for a fact easily found on Google? Don’t these people realize that they’re wasting your time?
Maybe I’m the rude one for not appreciating life’s little politeness. But many social agreed standards just don’t make sense to people drowning in digital communication.
In texts, you don’t have to declare who you are or even say hello.E－mail, too, is slower than a text. Voice mail is a now impolite way of trying to connect.
My father learned this lesson after leaving me a dozen voice mail messages, none of which I listened to. Exasperated, he called my sister to express his dissatisfaction that I never returned his phone calls.“Why are you leaving him voice mail？” my sister asked. “Just text him.”
In the age of the smartphone, there is no reason to ask once—acceptable questions about：the weather forecast, a business’s phone number, or directions to a house, a restaurant, which can be easily found on Google Maps. But people still ask these things. And when you answer, they respond with a thank－you e－mail.
How to handle these differing standards? Easy. Consider your audience. Some people, especially older ones, appreciate a thank－you message. Others, like me, want no reply.
The anthropologist (人类学家) Margaret Mead once said that in traditional societies, the young learn from the old. But in modern societies, the old can also learn from the young. Here’s hoping that politeness never goes out of fashion but that time—wasting forms of communication do.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇议论文，主要讨论了如今在智能手机时代，人们应该选择何种方式进行沟通。
28．What does the underlined word “Exasperated” mean in the fifth paragraph?
A．Worried. B．Surprised.
C．Annoyed. D．Tired.
C 解析：词义猜测题。根据第五段第二句中的“he called my sister to express his dissatisfaction that I never returned his phone calls.”可知，作者的父亲对作者不给自己回电话很不满，由此可推知exasperated意思是“恼怒的，生气的”，故选C。
29．Why didn’t the writer reply to his father?
A．He liked text messages better.
B．He enjoyed checking his voice mail.
C．He didn’t receive any voice mail messages.
D．He didn’t want to talk with his father.
A 解析：推理判断题。根据第五段中的“‘Why are you leaving him voice mail？’my sister asked.‘Just text him.’”可推知，作者不喜欢用语音信箱，更偏爱发短信，故选A。
30．Which of the following does the writer agree to?
A．People needn’t learn from one another in traditional societies.
B．Dealing with voice mail should vary with each individual.
C．People needn’t turn to Google for help when in trouble.
D．Declaring who you are or saying hello in texts is necessary.
B 解析：推理判断题。根据第七段的内容可推知，标准是变化的，处理方式应该因人而异，而不是一刀切，语音信箱的使用亦是如此，故选B。
31．What’s the best title of this passage?
A．Nowadays：What Should We Do with Text Messages?
B．Nowadays：Do You Like Leaving Others a Voice Message?
C．Nowadays：What Means Should We Use in Communication?
D．Nowadays：Do You Need a Thank－you Message?
C 解析：标题归纳题。根据对文章内容的整体理解可知，第三段引入本文话题，最后两段点题总结，本文主要讨论的是如今 (在智能手机时代)我们应该用何种方式沟通，故选C项。

Can exercise during childhood protect you against memory loss many decades later？Exercise early in life seems to have lifelong benefits for the brain, in rats at least.
“This is an animal study, but it shows that physical activity at a young age is very important—not just for physical development, but for the whole lifelong track of cognitive (认知的) development during ageing，” says Martin Wojtowicz of the University of Toronto, Canada.“In humans, it may delay the appearance of Alzheimer’s disease (阿尔茨海默病), possibly to the point of preventing it.”
Wojtowicz’s team divided 80 young male rats into two equal groups, and placed running wheels in the cages of one group for a period of six weeks. Around four months later—when the rats had reached middle age—the team taught all the rats to connect an electric shock with being in a specific box. When placed in the box, they froze with fear.
Two weeks later, the team tested the rats in three situations: exactly the same box in the same room, the same box with the room arranged differently, and a completely different box in a different room.
The rats without access to a running wheel when they were young now froze the same percentage of times in each of these situations, suggesting they couldn’t remember which one was dangerous. But those that had been able to run in their youth froze 40 to 50 percent less in both changed box settings.
“The results suggest the amount of physical activity when we’re young, at least for rats, has influence on the brain and cognitive health—in the form of better memories—when we’re older，”says Arthur Kramer of Northeastern University in Boston, who has found that, in humans, exercise promotes the growth of new brain cells.
【解题导语】 本文为一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项科学研究，从而得出早期锻炼对大脑终身有好处的结论。
32．The study shows that ________．
A．physical activity is important for physical health
B．using the running wheels is of benefit to the rats’ growth
C．physical activity can prevent humans’ Alzheimer’s disease
D．the more exercise a rat has when young, the better memory it will possess when older
D 解析：细节理解题。根据第一段内容尤其是第二句“Exercise early in life seems to have lifelong benefits for the brain, in rats at least.”可知，早期锻炼似乎对大脑终身有好处，至少对老鼠来说是这样的。故选D项。
33．How are Paragraph 3 and 4 mainly developed?
A．By analyzing causes.
B．By giving an example.
C．By describing the process.
D．By showing differences.
C 解析：推理判断题。根据第三段的“Wojtowicz’s team divided 80 young male rats into two equal groups...Around four months later...they froze with fear.”和第四段的“Two weeks later, the team tested the rats in three situations”可知，本文第三、四段描述了Wojtowicz的研究小组对老鼠进行实验的过程。C项意为“通过描述过程”，故选C项。
34．What does the underlined word“it”in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A．Exercise. B．Development.
C．Benefit. D．Study.
A 解析：代词指代题。根据第二段的“but it shows that physical activity at a young age is very important”及“In humans，it may delay the appearance of Alzheimer’s disease (阿尔茨海默病)”可知，身体活动很重要，对人类来说，它可能会推迟阿尔茨海默病的出现。因此“it”在文中指的是“physical activity”，A项与其同义，故选A项。
35．What is the author’s attitude towards the animal study?
A．Negative. B．Objective.
C．Critical. D．Doubtful.
B 解析：观点态度题。通读全文可知，作者介绍了对老鼠进行实验的过程及其结果，并引用数据进行说明，由此可知作者对动物研究的态度是很客观的。B项意为“客观的”，故选B项。

We spend hours every day doing things that aren’t necessarily productive or healthy. Below are some ways to create better habits for yourself!
Think: what’s holding you back? Before you begin adjusting your habits, you should break down the reasons why you’re hesitating (犹豫). Could the habits be inconvenient? Could they make you feel worried? These reasons don’t mean you’re sure to fail.36.________ Once you know each reason specifically, you can develop a solution.
37．________ It doesn’t have to be absolutely perfect, but you should be relatively stress?free when you begin a habit change. When you’re stressed or upset about something, it’ll cause disorder in your daily life and make it harder to keep up with your good habits.
Pick just one. 38.________ Developing habits is like overloading yourself with coursework. The more you try to pile, the more likely you are to fail. In order to make a habit automatic, it takes a lot of conditions.
Start small. We often have dreams where we change our lives in one day.39.________ As human beings, we get over?motivated (动机过强的) and pile tasks. Instead of doing that, build yourself up gradually. For example, if you want to exercise and start out at 30 minutes per workout, increase it to 35 minutes next time.
Have a role model. Sometimes the actions of others are enough to convince us to leave the couch (长沙发). Think of a role model in your life—it can be a musician, athlete, educator, or anyone you admire. 40.________ They got off their couch and changed their life, so that means you can, too!
A．Set your goals.
B．Be sure your life is in order.
C．Chances are, they’ll probably enjoy it too!
D．These people are well?known for one reason.
E．You just need to deal with them one by one.
F．Make sure you focus on picking up one habit.
G．The bad news is that that’s pretty much impossible.
【解题导语】 本文主要介绍了几种培养良好的习惯并坚持下去的几种方法。
36．E 解析：本句的关键词是“them”，指的是上文提到的These reasons, 且deal with them one by one 与后文的know each reason specifically相照应。
37．B 解析：本句总结了本段的主要意思，即在改变习惯时要保证自己的生活井然有序，不慌张。这可以从下文stress?free，stressed or upset，cause disorder in your daily life等判断得出。
38．F 解析：本句解释了本段的主题句内容。
39．G 解析：本句对上文的内容进行评论：想要在一天内改变生活，这是不可能的事情。
40．D 解析：本句对上文提到的人物特点进行说明：他们因为一个理由而出名。

第二节 (共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分)
阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
There is one all?important law of human conduct. If we obey that law, we shall almost never get into trouble. In fact, that law, if 61.____________ (obey)，will bring us countless friends and constant happiness. But the very instant we break the law，we shall get into 62.______ (end) trouble. The law is this: Always make others feel important. John Dewey，an American psychologist，once 63.____________ (say) that gaining others’ respect is 64.____________ deepest urge in human nature. According to the psychologist，William James，the ruling principle in human nature is the desire 65.__________ (appreciate). It is desires and urges like these 66.___________ distinguish us from animals. People have thought about the rules of human relationships for thousands of years before 67.____________ (discover) one rule—probably the most important rule in the world: Do to others as you would have them do to you.

【解题导语】 作者通过举例来说明这样一个道理：我们要想交到很多朋友并快乐地生活，就要遵循这样一个原则——让别人觉得他自己很重要。
61．obeyed 解析：考查非谓语动词。这里是if引导的省略句。obey和that law之间是被动关系，故用过去分词obeyed。
62．endless 解析：考查形容词。句意：但是一旦我们打破了这个规则，我们就会陷入无尽的麻烦。trouble是名词，前面应用形容词修饰，故此处用形容词endless。
63．said 解析：考查动词的时态。根据时间状语once可知此处用一般过去时，故填said。
64．the 解析：考查冠词。空后是形容词的最高级deepest，前应用定冠词the。
65．to be appreciated 解析：考查非谓语动词。空处作the desire的后置定语，用动词不定式，appreciate与逻辑主语是动宾关系，故用动词不定式的被动语态。
66．that 解析：考查强调句。分析句子结构可知，本句是一个强调句且被强调部分为desires and urges，指物，故填that。
67．discovering 解析：考查非谓语动词。before为介词，后面接名词或者动名词，故填discovering。
68．whom 解析：考查定语从句。先行词是those，关系词在后面的从句中充当in contact with的宾语，且with提前，故用关系代词whom。
69．feeling 解析：考查名词。分析空处所在的句子结构可知，此处作have的宾语，并表示“一种感觉”，故填feeling。
70．honestly 解析：考查副词。分析空处所在的句子结构可知，此处应用副词修饰动词recognize，故填honestly。

When I was young, I lived in the countryside. At that time, the trees there were very green, that left a deep impression on me and the water there was so much clear that I even could see the fish swimming. When it gets dark, the air was cooler than it in the daytime. People liked to walk out their houses to chat together. I liked to play games with my friends but ran along the village happily. As the moon rose highly in the sky, the village was lighting. When I looked up, I could see the moon and a few star. They were so close to me. It seemed that I could touch them. The life in the countryside were so wonderful.

One possible version：
Recently our class had a discussion on whether space is worth exploring. 30% of the students don’t think it worthwhile. They think that space is too far away from us and our daily life, and the money spent on space exploration could have been used to solve such problems as starvation and pollution. However, the others hold the opposite view because we have benefited a lot from space exploration, such as using satellites for communication and the weather forecast. Also, space research will enable us to find new resources to solve the problem of energy shortage on the earth.
Personally, I am in favor of space exploration. We may solve the population problem by moving to other planets one day.
