Then there are astronauts.This small population of space travelers has given researchers a rare look at what happens to the human body when its able to spend large amounts of time outside the downward pull of the Earth. This week, a study on one of the largest groups of astronauts yet -34 participants-was published in The New England Journal of Medicine.In the new study, a team of international radiologists supported by NASA looked at MRIs of the brains of astronauts before and after their trips to space. The scientists found that upon returning to Earth, many of the astronauts brains had bee repositioned inside their skulls, floating higher than before. In addition, the space between certain brain areas appeared to have shrunk. The changes were more mon in astronauts who took longer trips into space.The team characterized astronaut trips as short (an average of less than 14 days) or long (an average of about 165 days). Radiologists who didnt know each astronauts duration（持续时间）in space pared MRIs from before and after their trips.Of the 34 total astronauts involved in the study, 18 took long trips to spacespending most of that time on the International Space Station and of those, 17 returned to Earth with smaller areas between the frontal lobe（脑前额叶）and parietal lobe（顶叶）. The same area of the brain also shrank for three of the 16 astronauts who took shorter trips with the US Space Shuttle Program. The researchers also found that 12 of the ISS astronauts and six of the space-shuttle astronauts returned home with their brains sitting slightly higher in their skulls than before.Its not clear what, if anything, these brain changes mean for the health of space travelers. In general, it appears the human body tolerates space travel fairly well: the time astronauts have spent in zero-gravity environments so far doesnt seem to have had any strong or long-lasting effects.8. What is the finding of the study?A. Astronauts have great brain power.B. Astronauts duration in space is updated.C. Astronauts skulls expand after space trips.D. Astronauts return to Earth with raised brains.9. How did the scientists draw the conclusion?A. By analyzing astronauts symptoms.B. By paring each astronauts MRIs.C. By monitoring astronauts brain activities.D. By observing countless astronauts behaviors.10. What does the author say about the changes inside astronauts skulls?A. They are totally harmless.B. Their effects are hard to assess.C. Their occurrence is unavoidable.D. They will heavily influence astronauts.11. What is the best title for the text?A. Effects of zero gravityB. Valuable experiences of space travelC. Space travel changes astronauts brainsD. Flying long house increases health risks【答案】8. D 9. B 10. B 11. C【解析】本文是一篇科普类说明文。本文主要讲了科学家通过分析一群宇航员在太空旅行前后的大脑核磁共振成像，发现宇航员经过太空旅行后，大脑的位置会升高。8. 细节理解题。由第三段The scientists found that upon returning to Earth, many of the astronauts brains had bee repositioned inside their skulls, floating higher than before.可知，这项研究结果表明宇航员返回地球，大脑的位置会升高，选D。9. 细节理解题。由第五段Radiologists who didnt know each astronauts duration（持续时间）in space pared MRIs from before and after their trips.可知，科学家通过比较每位宇航员的核磁共振成像得出结论，选B。10. 细节理解题。由最后一段Its not clear what, if anything, these brain changes mean for the health of space travelers.可知，对于宇航员头脑内部的改变，它们对健康的影响，很难评估，选B。11. 主旨大意题。通过阅读文章可知，这篇文章主要讲了科学家通过分析一群宇航员在太空旅行前后的大脑核磁共振成像，发现宇航员经过太空旅行后，脑部的位置会上升，故C项为最佳标题。DIt happened to me recently. I was telling someone how much I had enjoyed reading Barack Obamas Dreams From My Father and how it had changed my views of our President. A friend I was talking to agreed with me that it was, in his words ,“a brilliantly written book” However, he then went on to talk about Mr. Obama in a way which suggested he had no idea of his background at ail. I sensed that I was talking to a book liar.And it seems that my friend is not the only one. Approximately two thirds of people have lied about reading a book which they havent. In the World Book Days “Report on Guilty Secrets”, Dreams From My Father is at number 9. The report lists ten books, and various authors, which people have lied about reading, and as Im not one to lie too often (Id hate to be caught out), I will admit here and now that I havent read the entire top ten. But Im pleased to say that, unlike 42 percent of people, I have read the book at number one ,Gorge Orwells 1984. I think its really brilliant.The World Book Day report also has some other interesting information in it. It says that many people lie about having read Jane Austin Austen, Charles Dickens, Fyodor Dostoevsky (I havent read him, but havent lied about it either) and Herman Melville.Asked why they lied, the most mon reason was to “impress” someone they are speaking to. This could be tricky if the conversation became more in-depth!But when asked which authors they actually enjoy, people named J.K. Rowling, John Grisham, Sophie Kinsella (ah, the big sellers, in other words). Forty-two percent of people asked admitted they turned to the back of the book to read the end before finishing this story (I will e clean: I do this and am astonished that 58 percent said they had never done so.).12. How did the author find his friend a book liar?A. By judging his manner of speaking.B. By looking into his background.C. By mentioning a famous name.D. By discussing the book itself.13. Which of the following is a “guilty secret” according to the World Book Day report?A. Charles Dickens is very low on the top-ten list.B. 42% of people pretended to have read 1984.C. The author admitted having read 9 books.D. Dreams From My Father is hardly read.14. By lying about reading, a person hopes to _.A. control the conversationB. appear knowledgeableC. learn about the bookD. make more friends15. What is the authors attitude to 58% of readers?A. Favorable. B. Uncaring.C. Doubtful. D. Friendly.【答案】12. D 13. B 14. B 15. C【解析】试题分析: 作者通过与朋友聊天引出本文的话题book liar，列举了大家谎称读了实际未读的书目，以及大家喜欢的一些作家，并阐述了人们撒谎的最常见的理由12. D考查推理判断题：根据文章第一段However, he then went on to talk about Mr. Obama in a way which suggested he had no idea of his background at all.然后他继续以一种能暗示出他对奥巴马背景一无所知的方式继续谈论奥巴马，可知作者跟他的朋友谈论有关奥巴马的那本书时，发现朋友对奥巴马的背景一无所知，这暗示出朋友其实并没有读过这本书，朋友对此书的深入讨论暴露了他对奥巴马背景的无知，故选D13. B考查细节理解题：根据文章第二段But I am pleased to say that, unlike 42 percent of people, I have read the book at number one, George Orwells 1984.I think its really brilliant.可知，不像百分之四十二的人那样，我很高兴地说，我读过排在第一位的George Orwells 1984。由此可知，作者读过这本书，而百分之四十二的人却没读过，故选B。14. B考查推理判断题：根据文章第四段“当被问及为什么撒谎的时候，最普遍的理由是想给正在说话的人留下深刻的印象”可知，人们之所以选择撒谎是想让对方觉得自己知识渊博，从而给对方留下一个好的印象，故B正确15. C考查推理判断题：根据第五段话最后一句“我很惊讶58%的人说他们从来没这么做过”，表明作者态度的词是astonished，所以是怀疑态度，故选C考点：科普类阅读。第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Curiosity is at the heart of lifelong learning. It not only gives children an advantage in school, but todays business leaders agree that its also at the heart of successful organizations.Psychologists view curiosity as a life force, vital to happiness, intellectual growth, and well-being. _16_ It points students toward the knowledge, skills, relationships, and experiences that they need to live full and productive lives.1. _17_Often, the temptation（诱惑）is to benefit students when their curiosity leads to a desired oute or good grade. But its more important to notice and strengthen curiosity when you see it in action. When you praise students by describing how their questions and explorations are contributing to their own or classroom learning, you let them know that they are valued for their motivation, regardless of the grade they achieve.2. Teach students how to ask quality questions.Quality questions are vital for curiosity; Google, is great at finding answers but doesnt motivate the formation of questions. _18_ An excellent book for understanding the art of questioning is A More Beautiful Question by Warren Berger.3. Spread the curiosity around._19_ Curiosity is influential in groups working toward a real-world mon goal, helping to inspire questions and new ideas.4. Explore a variety of cultures and societies.How is one culture or society uniquely different from another one? Encourage students to explore their genetic or emotional links to other cultures. _20_A. Value and reward curiosity.B. Teac
