体裁：说明文 话题：现代科技 难度：★★★★☆
We've
been
covering
standing
desks
for
a
long
time
now
because
experts
agree
that
sitting
all
day
is
killing
us.
We
want
to
be
productive
while
also
keeping
our
bodies
healthy.
Over
the
years,
there
have
been
several
solutions
to
this
from
fixed
standing
desks
to
adjustable
ones,
portable
desks
to
ones
that
change
into
shelves.
However,
the
most
high?tech
and
elegant
solution
has
to
be
this
new
smart
desk
called
the
Stir
Kinetic
Desk.
The
desk
learns
your
daily
behavior
and
moves
between
a
sitting
and
standing
height
regularly
throughout
the
day
to
keep
you
moving
without
interrupting
your
work
flow.
You
can
program
specific
sitting
and
standing
intervals
or
let
the
desk
set
the
schedule.
If
you
tend
to
sit
while
returning
emails
in
the
morning,
but
always
want
to
stand
during
that
afternoon
conference
call,
the
desk
will
learn
those
regular
habits
and
adjust
the
schedule
to
fit
them.
Of
course,
the
desk
can
always
be
manually
lowered
or
raised
by
using
the
touch
screen
on
the
lower
left
corner
of
the
desk.
When
switching
positions,
the
desk
gently
dips
and
rises
to
let
you
know
that
a
change
is
coming
up.
If
you're
not
ready
to
switch
positions
at
that
time,
you
can
tap
the
touch
screen
to
stay
sitting
or
standing
for
a
while
longer.
The
built?in
touch
screen
also
keeps
track
of
your
daily
sitting
and
standing
times
and
tells
you
how
many
calories
you've
burned.
You
can
even
set
goals
for
how
long
or
how
often
you
want
to
stand.
The
desk
also
works
with
fitness
devices
like
the
Fitbit
to
track
your
movements.
All
of
that
smart
technology
doesn't
come
cheap
though.
The
M1
desk,
which
is
the
everyday
model,
runs
a
steep
$2,990,
while
the
more
executive
model
with
added
features,
the
F1,
goes
for
$4,190.
While
expensive,
it's
worth
that
thinking
of
how
much
time
we
spend
at
our
desks.
Much
like
a
good
mattress
(床垫),
a
good
desk
that
works
with
you
is
worth
the
investment.
Hopefully
in
a
few
years
these
smart,
integrated
desks
will
be
more
common
and
less
expensive.

Humans'
invention
of
zero
was
vital
for
modern
mathematics
and
science,
but
we're
not
the
only
species
to
consider
“nothing”
a
number.
Parrots
and
monkeys
understand
the
concept
of
zero,
and
now
bees
have
joined
the
club,
too.
Honey
bees
are
known
to
have
some
numerical
(数字的)
skills
such
as
the
ability
to
count
to
four,
which
may
come
in
handy
when
keeping
track
of
landmarks
in
their
environment.
To
see
whether
these
abilities
extended
to
understanding
zero,
researchers
trained
10
bees
to
identify
the
smaller
of
two
numbers.
Across
a
series
of
trials,
they
showed
the
insects
two
different
pictures
displaying
a
few
black
shapes
on
a
white
background.
If
the
bees
flew
to
the
picture
with
the
smaller
number
of
shapes,
they
were
given
delicious
sugar
water,
but
if
they
flew
toward
the
larger
number,
they
were
punished
with
bitter?tasting
food.
Once
the
bees
had
learned
to
consistently
make
the
correct
choice,
the
researchers
gave
them
a
new
choice:
a
white
background
containing
no
shapes
at
all.
Even
though
the
bees
had
never
seen
an
empty
picture
before,
64%
of
the
time
they
chose
it
rather
than
a
picture
containing
two
or
three
shapes,
the
authors
report
today
in
Science.
This
suggests
that
the
insects
understood
that
“zero”
is
less
than
two
or
three.
And
they
weren't
just
going
for
the
empty
picture
because
it
was
new
and
interesting.
Another
group
of
bees
trained
to
always
choose
the
larger
number
tended
to
pick
the
nonzero
image
in
this
test.
In
further
experiments,
the
researchers
showed
that
bees'
understanding
of
zero
was
even
more
complex:
for
example,
they
were
able
to
distinguish
between
one
and
zero—a
challenge
even
for
some
other
members
of
the
zero
club.
Advanced
numerical
abilities
like
this
could
give
animals
an
evolutionary
advantage,
helping
them
keep
track
of
predators
(捕食者)and
food
sources.
And
if
an
insect
can
display
such
a
thorough
grasp
of
the
number
zero,
write
the
researchers,
then
this
ability
may
be
more
common
in
the
animal
kingdom
than
we
think.
5．According
to
the
trials,
the
researchers
have
found
that
bees
________.
A.
are
as
intelligent
as
parrots
and
monkeys
B.
can
count
many
numbers
after
being
trained
C.
can
identify
the
smaller
number
quickly
D.
understand
the
concept
of
zero
6．The
researchers
trained
another
group
of
bees
to
________.
A.
confirm
the
bees
are
able
to
identify
the
smaller
number
B.
find
the
big
difference
between
the
two
groups
of
bees
C.
prove
the
bees
are
interested
in
new
things
D.
show
the
bees
can
be
distinguished
easily
7．What
do
the
researchers
suggest
in
further
experiments?
A.
Bees
should
be
trained
more.
B.
Numerical
abilities
could
help
predators
find
bees.
C.
Insects
are
better
at
understanding
zero
than
animals.
D.
Animals
may
display
a
thorough
grasp
of
the
number
zero.
8．What
is
the
best
the
title
for
the
text?
A.

“How
much
money
am
I
getting
this
year?
That's
the
question
I
ask
my
mom
every
February.
And
every
year
she
replies，“You
will
see”
in
her
Chinese
accent.
February
usually
marks
the
month
of
the
New
Year
according
to
the
Chinese
calendar.
But
for
me,
Chinese
New
Year
is
a
payday.
Usually
I
receive
red
envelopes
(“hongbao”)
which
are
the
equivalent
(同等物)
of
Christmas
presents.
Instead
of
wondering
what
the
present
will
be,
it
is
the
amount
of
money
inside
that
is
the
mystery.
I
always
have
to
wait
weeks
to
find
out
how
much
money
my
parents
have
in
store
for
me.
I
never
knew
how
the
traditions
of
Chinese
New
Year
derived,_and
I
never
gave
it
much
thought,
until
my
mom
forced
me
to
attend
a
special
Chinese
school
where
I
learned
about
the
origins
of
the
traditions
behind
the
famous
celebration
and
had
a
knowledge
of
how
the
hanging
of
red
lanterns
or
fireworks
developed.
But
before
that,
the
only
part
of
the
holiday
that
had
ever
concerned
me
was
the
“hongbao”
and
as
selfish
as
it
may
sound.
But
now
Chinese
New
Year
is
a
wonderful
holiday
for
me
not
because
of
the
“hongbao”，
but
the
profound
Chinese
culture
I
have
learned
from
the
special
school.
The
excitement
that
comes
with
expecting
Chinese
New
Year
is
one
I
will
never
get
tired
of.
While
the
real
celebrations
are
taking
place
in
China,
my
family
holds
its
own
traditions.
I
can
always
count
on
my
mom
to
make
delicious
Chinese
food
every
year,
and
there
is
consolation
(安慰)
in
knowing
that
as
my
sisters
and
I
open
our
“hongbaos”，
our
cousins
so
many
miles
away
are
doing
the
same.
9．What
did
the
author
care
about
most
on
Chinese
New
Year
at
first?
A.
The
amount
of
money
she
received.
B.
The
traditions
behind
the
celebration.
C.
Various
activities
during
Chinese
New
Year.
D.
The
presents
that
her
parents
would
give
her.
10．What
does
the
underlined
word
“derived”
in
Para.
3
probably
mean?
A.
Worked.
B.
Continued.
C.
Began.
D.
Changed.
11．What
can
we
infer
about
the
author's
mom?
A.
She
has
a
strong
feeling
towards
China.
B.
She
knows
little
about
Chinese
traditions.
C.
She
always
gives
her
children
a
lot
of
money.
D.
She
tends
to
surprise
her
children
on
western
festivals.
12．What's
the
best
title
of
the
passage?
A.
New
Year
Hongbao
B.
My
Mom
and
China
C.
Closer
Attachment
to
China

December
22
is
a
day
to
which
I
always
look
forward.
It's
winter
solstice
and
a
day
for
dumplings.
I
often
think
about
my
adventure
in
a
local
restaurant
last
year
that
day.
All
day
my
Chinese
friend
at
work
talked
about
“dumplings”，
so
I
thought
to
myself,
“Mmm...
I'll
go
to
my
local
dumpling
restaurant
for
dinner.”
It
was
usually
not
very
busy,
and
it
had
about
30
types
of
dumplings
on
its
menu.
But
when
I
arrived
at
the
restaurant
later
that
evening,
I
was
shocked.
The
whole
neighborhood
seemed
to
be
inside,
all
shouting
at
once.
The
waiter
pushed
a
menu
into
my
hand.
It
had
just
six
types
of
dumplings
on
it;
he
had
crossed
out
four.
The
busy
man
gasped
(喘息)
to
me,
“We're
sold
out！”
In
the
UK,
we
have
turkey
at
Christmas,
but
in
the
weeks
after,
every
sandwich
is
turkey
and
every
soup
is
turkey,
because
it
takes
that
long
to
eat
up
the
left?overs.
You
never
have
to
fight
for
Christmas
food—it's
everywhere,
for
days
on
end.
But
on
the
Chinese
winter
solstice,
everyone
has
dumplings
on
that
one
day
alone.
The
waiter
pushed
me
into
a
seat
at
the
only
free
table,
which
was
covered
with
broken
chopsticks,
chicken
bones
and
oil.
“I
don't
mind
what
kind！”
I
said,
desperate
for
dumplings.
An
hour
and
a
half
later,
15
dumplings
arrived—cold,
almost
empty
shells,
containing
a
little
uncooked
meat.
Meanwhile,
dumplings
had
been
dropped
on
the
floor
and
vinegar
had
been
splashed
(溅洒)
everywhere.
I
ate,
and
then
got
out
of
there
as
fast
as
I
could.
13．Why
did
the
author
go
to
the
dumpling
restaurant
for
dinner?
A.
Because
she
liked
the
dining
environment
there.
B.
Because
she
was
invited
by
her
Chinese
friend.
C.
Because
she
loved
to
eat
dumplings.
D.
Because
she
wanted
to
experience
the
Chinese
tradition.
14．When
the
author
got
to
the
dumpling
restaurant,
she
________.
A.
found
it
was
not
busy
there
B.
was
disappointed
by
what
she
experienced
C.
was
offered
30
types
of
dumplings
to
choose
from
D.
enjoyed
the
festival
atmosphere
15．With
the
fourth
and
fifth
paragraphs,
the
author
intends
to

people
in
the
UK
celebrate

Anyone
who
loves
to
sing
will
probably
tell
you
how
good
it
makes
them
feel.
__1__
But
there
are
many
different
physical,
emotional
and
social
benefits
associated
with
singing
that
you
may
not
realize.
●
Singing
improves
your
memory
and
cognition
(认识).
For
one
thing,
there
is
no
question
that
singing
requires
you
to
use
your
memory
in
ways
that
you
don't
normally
use
even
if
you
can't
always
remember
all
of
the
lyrics
to
your
favorite
songs.
__2__
For
another
thing,
singers
and
musicians
typically
have
higher
IQ
than
non?musicians.
Singing
can
improve
your
overall
brain
function
and
help
you
think
a
little
clearer.
●
__3__
A
joint
Yale
and
Harvard
study
showed
that
for
some
people
living
in
New
Haven,
Connecticut,
choral
singing
promoted
healthy
minds
and
hearts,
which
increased
the
length
of
life.
●
Singing
lowers
your
blood
pressure.
There
have
been
several
case
studies
that
have
revealed
that
singing
can
decrease
blood
pressure
due
to
its
calming
and
relaxing
effect.__4__
●
Singing
brings
people
together
and
creates
a
sense
of
community.
Singing
in
a
choir
or
singing
in
any
sort
of
group
environment
with
other
people
can
be
a
fun,
bonding
activity.__5__
What's
more,
singing
in
a
choir
can
decrease
depression
in
many
adults.
A.
Singing
leads
to
a
longer
life.
B.
Singing
can
cure
various
diseases.
C.
It
gives
you
an
opportunity
to
share
an
experience
with
a
group
of
people.
D.
This
is
one
excellent
way
to
keep
your
brain
remember
things
well
as
you
age.
E.
Although
singing
is
good
for
your
health,
it
is
not
good
singing
loudly
in
public.
F.
It's
no
secret
that
singing
can
reduce
your
stress
and
bring
much
fun
into
your
day.
G.
Patients
are
able
to
calm
themselves
down
and
lower
blood
pressure
by
singing
songs.

In
2009
we
were
staying
at
our
cousin's
house
in
Triora,
Italy.
Settled
just
above
a
window
was
a
bird's
nest
which
my
cousin
said
had
been
there
for
many
years.
Each
year,
different
families
of
starlings
(惊鸟)
came
back
to
make
it
their

We
knew
they
were
_2__
because
the
chattering
(鸣叫)
of
six
newly
hatched
chicks
woke
us
early
every
morning.
Standing
on
a
chair,
I
__3__
to
look
into
their
nest.
The
first
time
I
looked,
the
chicks
were

and
almost
featherless.
Their
parents

backwards
and
forwards,
bringing

to

their
hungry
and
noisy
chicks.
Being

parents,
whenever
they

me
they
screamed
and
flew

So
I
could
only
see
the
chicks
when
they
weren't
around.
_8__
the
chicks
were
only
a
few
days
old,
I
realized
the
parents
were
teaching
their
young
to
fly.
One
brave
chick
beat
its
wings
a
few
times
and
then
_9__
across
the
street
landing
on
the
roof
of
the

__10__.
Well
done,
I
thought.
The
next

my

how
I

Two

过关测试(解析版）
（考试时间：60分钟
试卷满分：100分）
一、阅读理解（每小题2分，满分30分）
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了一种新型智能办公桌：能根据人的习惯自动设定其坐着和站着时的不同高度。该产品虽然价格昂贵，但是值得购买。
好词 ①productive
adj.多产的；
②track
vt.追踪；记录；
③integrated
adj.综合的；
④keep
track
of
记录
1． C 推理判断题。根据第二段第二句“这种办公桌可以了解你的日常行为，每天有规律地在你坐着和站着时的高度之间调整，让你在不影响工作流程的情况下保持移动。”据此可以判断，这种办公桌旨在让使用者在工作时得到锻炼，故C项正确。
2． B 细节理解题。根据第五段第一句“内置的触摸屏还可以了解你每天坐着和站着的时间，并告诉你燃烧了多少卡路里。”据此可知，这种内置触摸屏跟踪使用者的姿势变化，故B项正确。
3． D 推理判断题。根据文章内容可知，这种办公桌能了解你的行为习惯并以此来调整高低，且能告诉你燃烧了多少卡路里，并结合最后一段最后一句中的“these
smart,
integrated
desks”可推知，这种办公桌是多功能的、智能的，故D项正确。
错解分析：A项意为“多产的但是具有挑战性的”，B项意为“方便的但是买不起的”，C项意为“复杂而不实用的”，都与文意不符。
4． A 推理判断题。根据最后一段的内容，
尤其是第一句“While
expensive,
it's
worth
that
thinking
of
how
much
time
we
spend
at
our
desks.”可知，尽管这种桌子很昂贵，但是考虑到我们使用桌子的时间，还是值得购买的。据此可以判断，作者在最后一段是想告诉读者，花钱买这种桌子是值得的，故A项正确。
【难句分析】 The
M1
desk，
which
is
the
everyday
model，
runs
a
steep
$2，990，
while
the
more
executive
model
with
added
features，
the
F1，
goes
for
$4，190.
M1办公桌是一款普通型号，售价昂贵，为2
990美元，而带有更多功能的高级型号F1售价为4
190美元。
分析 该句由while连接的两个分句构成，第一个分句为主从复合句，句中的“which
is
the
everyday
model”为which引导的非限制性定语从句，先行词为“The
M1
desk”，which在从句中做主语。
B
【语篇解读】 科学家通过一系列的实验表明蜜蜂比鹦鹉和大猩猩更擅长理解零的概念。
好词 ①consistently
一致地；②keep
track
of
记录；追踪
5． D 推理判断题。由第一段中的“and
now
bees
have
joined
the
club”可知蜜蜂和鹦鹉与大猩猩都理解零的意思，又根据第三段中“This
suggests
that
the
insects
understood
that
‘zero’
is
less
than
two
or
three”，可知实验表明蜜蜂明白零的意思，故D项正确。
6．A 推理判断题。根据第三段最后一句可知另外一组被训练挑选大数字的蜜蜂常选择不含零的图片，由此可证明蜜蜂是知道零的含义的，故科学家由此推断蜜蜂能认出较小的数字，故A项正确。
7． C 推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句可知在进一步的实验中科学家发现蜜蜂能区别出1和0，而鹦鹉和大猩猩却有些难，由此推断出昆虫比动物更擅长理解“0”的概念，故C项正确。
8． A 标题归纳题。文章介绍了一个研究发现，说明科学家利用实验发现蜜蜂理解零的意义，故A项作为标题合适。
阅读技巧6 主线法定标题——标题归纳题
标题归纳题的题干中一般都有the
best
title,
常见设问形式有：Which
of
the
following
is
the
best
title
of
the
passage？解题技巧如下：寻读文章，查找是否有重复出现的词语，确定中心词；速读原文，找出各段主题句；
联系各段主题句，结合文章中心，概括出文章中心句；
结合中心词和中心句，提炼出文章的标题。文章的标题一定要新颖、醒目且与主题相关。
C
【语篇解读】 作者最初认为中国春节是她的收获日，因为在那天她通常会收到红包。虽然母亲对中国有种强烈的情感，但是作者对中国文化却知之甚少，直到她去了一所特殊的中国学校。在那里她慢慢了解到了深厚的中国文化，从此便对中国有了一份特殊的情感，也拉近了作者与中国的距离。
好词 ①have
sth.
in
store
for
sb.
准备某物给某人；②tend
to易于
9．A 细节理解题。根据第一段中“How
much
money
am
I
getting
this
year？”，第二段中的“But
for
me,
Chinese
New
Year
is
a
payday”和第三段中的“the
only
part
of
the
holiday
that
had
ever
concerned
me
was
the
‘hongbao’”可以明显看出答案。
10． C 词义猜测题。根据第三段中“I
never
gave
it
much
thought,
until
my
mom
forced
me
to
attend
a
special
Chinese
school
where
I
learned
about
the
origins
of
the
traditions
behind
the
famous
celebration”可知，作者去了一所中国学校才了解到中国传统的起源。由“origins”可推知derive意为“起源”，与begin同义。
11． A 推理判断题。根据文章多处细节，例如：第一段中“How
much
money
am
I
getting
this
year和‘You
will
see’
in
her
Chinese
accent”以及第三段中“my
mom
forced
me
to
attend
a
special
Chinese
school”及最后一段中“I
can
always
count
on
my
mom
to
make
delicious
Chinese
food”等多处细节可以推断作者的妈妈对中国有强烈的情感。故A项正确。
12． C 标题归纳题。本文主要讲述作者自从上了中国学校，从一开始对中国传统文化一无所知到慢慢了解中国和中国文化到最后的期待中国新年并喜欢上中国文化的这一变化过程。Closer
Attachment
to
China这一标题是对文章主旨准确的提炼。
D
【语篇解读】 英国人在中国的冬至吃饺子，却败兴而归。
好词 ①cross
out
划去；②be
desperate
for
sth.
渴望得到某物
13．D 细节理解题。由第一、二段可知作者想去吃饺子，是因为她同事都在冬至这天说要去吃饺子，她才决定也要去吃，体验中国的传统，故答案为D。
14．B 推理判断题。从全文来看，作者去吃饺子乘兴而去，败兴而归，故B项正确。
15． B 写作意图题。作者在第四和第五段，主要是对比中国过冬至吃饺子和英国过圣诞节吃火鸡的不同方式，故B项正确。
阅读七选五 (每题2分，共10分）
答案与解析
【语篇解读】 喜欢唱歌的人们总会告诉你唱歌的好处，唱歌能缓解压力、让人心情舒畅。除此之外还有一些你可能想不到的好处。本文从四个方面介绍了唱歌的其他好处。
好词 ①typically
adv.
典型地；特有的；
②due
to
由于
1．F 根据空前一句可知爱唱歌的人可能会说唱歌使他们感觉良好，故设空应与唱歌的益处有关。再根据空后一句中的“that
you
may
not
realize”可知下文介绍的是人们不知道的一些好处，故F项“唱歌能缓解压力和带来乐趣，这些是众所皆知的”与上下文呼应。故F项正确。
2．D 根据空前一句可知即使你记不清自己最喜欢的歌曲的所有歌词，唱这首歌也会让你在脑海中不断回忆歌词，故D项“随着年龄的增长，唱歌记歌词是一种很好的增强记忆力的方法”符合语境。
3．A 根据下一句中的“which
increased
the
length
of
life”可知本段讲述的是唱歌能让人长寿。故A项“唱歌让人更长寿”适合作本段主题句。
七选五技巧2 如何巧解段首句
①段落主题句。着重阅读后文第一、二句，锁定线索信号词，在选项中查找相关特征词。通常正确答案与空白后的第一句在意思上是紧密衔接的，这两句间会有某种衔接手段。再结合后文内容，根据段落一致性原则，查找同义词或其他相关的信息词，最终推断出主题句；②段落间的过渡句。阅读上一段结尾部分，通常正确答案与上一段结尾有机地衔接起来，并结合下一段内容，看所选的答案是否能将两段内容连贯起来。
4．G 根据本段小标题“Singing
lowers
your
blood
pressure.”可知唱歌能起到降血压的效果。本段讲述的是唱歌与血压的关系，故G项“病人们在唱歌时会平静下来，血压也会随之下降”，符合语境。blood
pressure
为关键词。
5．C 根据空前两句可知，唱歌会把喜欢音乐的人们聚集在一起营造出一种群体的意识，与歌友们一起练唱是一项有趣又让人们联系在一起的团体活动。故C项“这会让你有机会与一个群体有共同的经历”与上文呼应。
