You might say: “English is hard enough. I dont want to go through that again.” 第 3 页 共 10 页 命题人/审题人：涂鸣、陈侨、洪姗姗、黄芳、彭德河 Relax learning a foreign language doesnt always mean you have to sit in class and take endless exams. An app named Duolingo has been designed to help you memorize new words and grammar in creative ways, such as online lessons, games and interesting exercises. Named “the best language-learning app” by The Wall Street Journal, Duolingo currently offers 30 languages, including English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Portuguese, Irish, Dutch, Danish, and Swedish. Headspace: Meditation & Sleep iOS With homework to finish tests to prepare, it can seem like you dont have a moment to relax and gather your thoughts. Whats to be done? Meditation（冥想）may help, and heres an app to get you started. Headspace teaches you to face some of the toughest problems of everyday life. It has courses on work and productivity, personal growth and how to deal with troubling emotions like anger and fear. There are also courses designed specifically for kids and students about dealing with distraction and homesickness. And, if that isnt enough, Headspace can help us with the biggest single cause of stress and anxiety: lack of sleep. The combination of the apps calming voices and relaxing music will help you get a good nights rest, ready to face the challenge of the next day with optimism and energy. Gentle Wakeup Sleep & Alarm Clock with Sunrise iOS/Android Every device（仪器）has an alarm function these days. But what does this app have to offer? The makers of Gentle Wakeup believe people can wake up well. The key is that the app wakes with light rather than sound. It offers a better move out of sleep through a “Sunrise” a light slowly, gradually becomes brighter, just as the sun does. But the sunrise is only half of the waking process: The light grows for 20 minutes before you are eased out of your sleep by the natural early morning sounds of birdsongs. The makers believe users of the app will never wake up in the same way again: “Start getting awake by light and you will never want to wake up by sounds again”. Forest: Stay focused iOS/Android Though phones make life more convenient, many people feel that they are addictive. Forest is a clever intervention（干预）designed to make people understand that theres more to life than phones. Heres how it works: you plant a seed in the app and the longer you stay away from the phone, the more it grows. From a seed, it becomes a tree and then a forest at last. The makers say, the “sense of responsibility and achievement will encourage you to stay away from your phone and focus on whats important in life”. And Forest has received some good reviews from users, who say thats exactly what it does: “Its a phone game that gives you time rather than taking it away.” 21. From the passage, we can know that _. A. all the apps mentioned above are available to Android users B. Duolingo can help users through online lessons, games and tests C. Gentle Wakeup is designed to wake people up using light alone D. if students miss their home, Headspace can help 22. If you are a user of Headspace, you can _. A. face some of the most difficult problems in your daily life B. learn courses helping children how to focus their attention 第 4 页 共 10 页 命题人/审题人：涂鸣、陈侨、洪姗姗、黄芳、彭德河 C. solve the problem of stress, anxiety and lack of sleep D. have a good sleep for the apps calming voices and birdsongs 23. Forest users can help the trees to grow by_. A. keeping off their cellphones B. running the app on a regular basis C. developing a sense of responsibility D. posting positive reviews of the app B US inventor Thomas Alva Edison once said: “Genius is one percent inspiration and 99 percent perspiration.” He was not exaggerating. Perspiration, indeed, plays a very important role in Chinese scientist Tu Youyous success. Tu was given the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 2015 for discovering a new drug for malaria, a deadly disease caused by the bite of some types of mosquito. She is the first Chinese citizen to win a Nobel Prize in science. “It is the pride of the whole Chinese science community, which will inspire more Chinese scientists,” China Daily noted. Malaria is a disease that infects around 200 million people and kills about half a million people each year, according to the Economist. Tus discovery has saved millions of lives, especially in the developing world. According to the World Health Organization, by 2013 malaria deaths had fallen by 47 percent compared with 2000. But the road to this achievement was a tough one to travel. In the late 1960s, during the “cultural revolution” (1966-1976), Tu joined a government project on which she began research on a new malaria drug. In the beginning, Tu read a lot of old folk remedies （药方） , searched texts that were hundreds or thousands of years old and traveled to remote places. Over several months, Tu and her team collected over 600 plants and created a list of almost 380 possible remedies. “This was the most challenging stage of the project,” Tu told The Beijing News. “It was a very labor-demanding and dull job, in particular when you faced one failure after another.” But the hard work and the dullness failed to break the teams spirit. In the following months, she and her team tested the remedies on malaria-infected mice and they found that an extract（提 取物）from the plant qinghao seemed to work well. Not that the work was easier after that. The fact that the extract didnt always work against malaria discouraged some of her teammates. But Tu was ambitious to make a contribution to the world and so she encouraged her teammates to keep going. They decided to start again from the beginning. In 1971, they were rewarded for their efforts. After nearly 200 failures, Tu finally made an extract that was 100 percent effective against malaria parasites. The extract was called “Artemisinin”（青蒿素）. Thanks to decades of hard work, Tu and her team had “provided humankind with powerful new means to combat these diseases that affect hundreds of millions of people every year,” said the Nobel Prize Committee. “It has greatly improved human health and reduced suffering.” 24. What can we learn from the passage? A. Tu Youyou is the first Chinese citizen to win a Nobel Prize. B. Compared with 2000, malaria deaths had fallen to 53% in 2013. 第 5 页 共 10 页 命题人/审题人：涂鸣、陈侨、洪姗姗、黄芳、彭德河 C. The work became easier after Tu found an extract from qinghao. D. Artemisinin is the most effective extract to kill malaria parasites. 25. What does the underlined word “combat” mean in the last paragraph? A. Treat. B. Fight. C. Spot. D. Anticipate. 26. How many stages did Tu and her team go through to get Artemisinin? A. Seven. B. Six C. Five. D. Four. 27. What is the best title of the passage? A. Discovering Qinghao B. Sending out a Lifeline C. Perspiration and Inspiration D. The Secrets to Tu Youyous Success C For thousands of years, people have known that the best way to understand a concept is to explain it to someone else. “While we teach, we learn,” said Roman philosopher Seneca. Now scientists are bringing this ancient wisdom up to date. Theyre documenting why teaching is such a fruitful way to learn, and designing creative ways for young people to take part in instruction. Researchers have found that students who sign up to tutor others work harder to understand the material, recall it more accurately and apply it more effectively. Student teachers score higher on tests than pupils whore learning only for their own sake. But how can children, still learning themselves, teach others? One answer: They can tutor younger kids. Some studies have found that first-born children are more intelligent than their later-born siblings（兄弟姐妹）. This suggests their higher IQs result from the time they spend teaching their siblings. Now educators are experimenting with ways to apply this model to academic subjects. They arrange college undergraduates to teach computer science to high school students, who in turn instruct middle school students on the topic. But the most cutting-edge tool under development is the “teachable agent” a computerized character who learns, tries, makes mistakes and asks questions just like a real-world pupil. Computer scientists have created an animated（动画的）figure called Bettys Brain, who has been “taught” about environmental science by hundreds of middle school students. Student teachers are inspired to help Betty master certain materials. While preparing to teach, they organize their knowledge and improve their own understanding. And as they explain the information to it, they identify problems in their own thinking. Feedback from the teachable agents further improves the tutors learning. The agents questions forces student tutors to think and explain the materials in different ways, and watching the agent solve problems allows them to see their knowledge put into action. Above all, its the emotions one experiences in teaching that improve learning. Student tutors feel upset when their teachable agents fail, but happy when these virtual pupils succeed as they develop pride and satisfaction from someone elses accomplishment. 28. What do we learn about Bettys Brain? A. It is a character in a popular animation. B. It is a teaching tool under development. C. It is a cutting-edge app in digital games. D. It is a tutor for computer science students. 29. How does teaching others benefit student tutors? 第 6 页 共 10 页 命题人/审题人：涂鸣、陈侨、洪姗姗、黄芳、彭德河 A. It makes them aware of what they are strong at. B. It motivates them to try new ways of teaching. C. It helps them learn their academic subjects better. D. It enables them to better understand their teachers. 30. What do students do to teach their teachable agents? A. They motivate them to think independently. B. They ask them to design their own questions. C. They encourage them to give immediate feedback. D. They use various ways to explain the materials to them. 31. What is the key factor that benefits student tutors learning? A. Their sense of responsibility. B. Their emotional involvement. C. The learning skills acquired. D. The teaching experience gained. D The fridge is considered necessary. It has been so since the 1960s when packaged food list appeared with the label: “Store in the refrigerator.” In my fridgeless Fifties childhood, I was fed well and healthy. The milkman came every day, the grocer, the butcher, the baker, and the ice-cream man delivered two or three times each week. The Sunday meat would last until Wednesday and the bread and milk left became all kinds of cakes. Nothing was wasted, and we were never troubled by rotten food. Thirty years on, food deliveries have stopped, and fresh vegetables are almost impossible to get in the country. The invention of the fridge contributed comparatively little to the art of food preservation. Many well-tried techniques already existed natural cooling, drying, smoking, salting, sugaring, bottling. What refrigeration did promote was marketing marketing hardware and electricity, marketing soft drinks, marketing dead bodies of animals around the world in search of a good price. Consequently, most of the worlds fridges are to be found, not in the tropics where they might prove useful, but in the rich countries with mild temperatures where they are climatically almost unnecessary. Every winter, millions of fridges hum (make a low continuous sound) away continuously, and at vast expense, busily maintaining an artificially-cooled space inside an artificially-heated house while outside, nature provides the desired temperature free of charge. The fridges effect upon the environment has been clear, while its contribution to human happiness has been unimportant. If you dont believe me, try it yourself, invest in a food cupboard and turn off your fridge next winter. You may miss the hamburgers, but at least youll get rid of that terrible hum. 32. The statement “In my fridgeless Fifties childhood, I was fed well and healthily” suggests that _ A. the author was well-fed and healthy even without a fridge in his fifties. B. the author was not accustomed to fridges even in his fifties. C. there was no fridge in the authors home in the 1950s. D. the fridge was in its early stage of development in the 1950s. 33. Who benefited the least from fridges according to the author? 第 7 页 共 10 页 命题人/审题人：涂鸣、陈侨、洪姗姗、黄芳、彭德河 A. Inventors. B. Consumers. C. Producers. D. Travelling salesmen. 34. Which of the following phrases in the fifth paragraph suggest the fridges negative effect on the environment? A. “Hum away continuously”. B. “Climatically almost unnecessary”. C. “Artificially-cooled space”. D. “With mild temperatures”. 35. What is the authors overall attitude toward fridges? A. Neutral. B. Critical. C. Objective. D. Positive. 第二节第二节（共共 5小题；每小题小题；每小题 2分，满分分，满分 10分分） 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。 Moving into a new home in a new neighborhood is an exciting experience. Of course, you want to make sure that you become an accepted and valuable part of your new neighborhood.

Second, take the overall appearance of the neighborhood seriously. When going for a walk, take along a small garbage bag. 38 This small act will let your neighbors know that you care about the area. 39 If a neighbor is going to be out of town, offer to collect mail and newspapers. If a neighbor suffers an illness, offer to do the grocery shopping. Let them know that you are there to help in any way that is acceptable, while still respecting the privacy of your neighbor. 40 By following the basic rules of respecting others, taking care of what belongs to you, and taking pride in the appearance of the neighborhood in general, you will quickly become a good neighbor that everyone appreciates.
