In ones middle age.C. In ones early twenties.18. When may a wisdom tooth cause a problem?A. When there is too much gum (齿龈) around it.B. When there is not enough room for it to grow.C. When it completely rises through the gum.19. What does the American Dental Association suggest doing when a wisdom tooth appears?A. Removing it.B. Brushing it regularly.C. Eating soft food.20. Why do people have wisdom teeth according to scientists?A. People still need them for chewing.B. People need them to protect their gums.C. Ancient humans needed extra chewing teeth.【答案】17. C 18. B 19. A 20. C【解析】Wisdom teeth are normally the last teeth to appear. This usually happens when people are in their late teen years or early twenties, in other words, when they are older and wiser.Wisdom teeth can grow into place normally and never cause a problem. But often there is not enough room for them in the mouth; they might crowd other teeth. Sometimes they even push sideways through the gums. An impacted wisdom tooth is one that fails to completely rise through the gums. Wisdom teeth that only partly break through can leave space for bacteria to enter around the teeth. Infection (感染) is a risk in these cases.The American Dental Association says removal is generally advised when wisdom teeth only partly break through the gums. Removal is also advised if there is a chance that wisdom teeth are poorly lined. The best time to remove is before the teeth cause any problems or pain.But why do we have wisdom teeth if we often need to get them removed? One theory has to do with our diets. Scientists say the diet of ancient humans probably required more chewing teeth. Life was probably a little rougher on the teeth back then, too. So it was good to have extras.【17题详解】此题为听力题，解析略。【18题详解】此题为听力题，解析略。【19题详解】此题为听力题，解析略。【20题详解】此题为听力题，解析略。第二部分:阅读理解(共两节，满分35分)第一节 (共10小题; 每小题2.5分, 满分25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。AAt first, Michael Surrell didnt see the black smoke or flames shooting from the windows of his neighbors home. Then they got a call from one of his daughters: “The house next door is on fire!” He went over and saw three women crying madly on their porch (门廊).“The babys in the second floor!” one of the women cried. Though the fire department had been called, Surrell, then 64, bravely ran inside. “The baby” was Tiara Roberts, the womans granddaughter and a playmate of Surrells three youngest kids.Entering the burning house was like “running into a bucket of black paint,” Surrell says. The thick smoke caused him to stumble blindly around, burned his eyes, and made it impossible to breathe. The conditions would have been dangerous for anyone, but for Surrell, who has chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(慢性阻塞性肺病), they were life-threatening.Taking a deep breath, he moved around in the overwhelming darkness. Because the house had a similar layout to his, he found the stairs and made it to the second floor. Then he heard a soft but clear moan. Still unable to see, Surrell fell to his knees on the hot wood floor. He crawled toward the sound, feeling around for any sign of the girl. Finally, he touched something. A shoe, then an ankle. He pulled Tiara toward him, scooped her into his arms and stood. Turning, he fought through the smoke and ran blindly into the blacknessSurrell woke up in the hospital a couple of days later and spent over a week in the hospital. Tiara was released from the hospital after a few days. The fire worsened Surrells pulmonary condition, and he feels the effects even two years later. As a result, he takes extra medication that helps open his airways. “Its a small price to pay,” he says. “Id do it again in a heartbeat. I wouldnt give it a second thought.”21. Which of the following statements is true according to the story?A. Tiara Roberts was the Surrells youngest granddaughter.B. Surrell was familiar with the structure of the burning house.C. Surrell ran into the fire before the fire department was called.D. The fire was life-threatening for Surrell, mostly considering his age.22. What does the underlined word “overwhelming” probably mean?A. Normal.B. Unexpected.C. Mild.D. Extreme.23. Judging by the story, which words best describe Surrells personality?A. Humorous and patient.B. Outgoing and intelligent.C. Warm-hearted and selfless.D. Determined and ambitious.【答案】21. B 22. D 23. C【解析】【分析】本文为记叙文。迈克尔索雷尔患有慢性阻塞性肺病，但是他还是勇敢、无畏地解救了家中失火的邻居一家。【21题详解】细节理解题。根据第四段中的Because the house had a similar layout to his, he found the stairs and made it to the second floor.（因为房子的布局和他的房子相似，他找到了楼梯，爬到了二楼）可知，索雷尔对着火的房子的结构很熟悉。故B选项正确。【22题详解】词义猜测题。根据第三段中的Entering the burning house was like “running into a bucket of black paint,” Surrell says. The thick smoke caused him to stumble blindly around, burned his eyes, and made it impossible to breathe.（进入着火的房子就像“撞上了一桶黑色油漆，” 索雷尔说。浓烟使他盲目地跌跌撞撞，灼伤了眼睛，无法呼吸）可知，划线句意为“他深深地吸了一口气，在无边的黑暗中走来走去”。A. Normal正常的；B. Unexpected意想不到的；C. Mild温和的；D. Extreme极度的。由此可知，D项与划线词词义接近。故D选项正确。【23题详解】推理判断题。根据全文描述可知，尽管浓烟滚滚的环境对于患有慢性阻塞性肺病的迈克尔索雷尔是非常危险的，但是迈克尔索雷尔还是义无反顾地冲进房子中救助了邻居。由此可知，迈克尔索雷尔是一个热心和无私的人。故C选项正确。【点睛】细节事实理解题主要考查考生对文章中某一些特定细节或文章的重要事实的理解能力。它一般包括直接理解题和语义理解题两种。直接理解题的答案与原文直接挂钩，从阅读材料中可以找到。此外，在阅读中可以使用定位法与跳读法解决细节理解题。定位法即根据题干和选项所提供的信息直接从原文中找到相应的句子(即定位)，然后进行比较和分析(尤其要注意一些同义转换)，从而找出正确答案。跳读法即根据题干和选项所提供的信息跳读原文，并找到相关的句子(有时可能是几个句子)或段落，然后进行分析和推理等，从而找出正确答案。以本文第1小题为例，本题运用定位法：我们根据C项中的Surrell was familiar with the structure of the burning house.其关键词是was familiar with，从而直接定位到含有was familiar with的同义词的文段第四段中的Because the house had a similar layout to his, he found the stairs and made it to the second floor.（因为房子的布局和他的房子相似，他找到了楼梯，爬到了二楼）可知，索雷尔对着火的房子的结构很熟悉。故B选项正确。BAfter years of trying, our neighbors convinced my parents that ice fishing would be a fun winter getaway from our dairy farm. Before that, their idea of entertainment involved driving around the countryside to see how the neighbors crops were doing.My parents eventually built a fish house and set it up on Wood Lake. We excitedly headed for the lake on many January and February weekends. By the time we arrived at our favorite fishing spot across the lake each day, somebody had usually made a clear path across the ice. The fish houses were together at the best fishing spots, forming some kind of a neighborhood.Our house was large enough so all four of us could fish at the same time. Each corner had a square cut out of the floor. We sat in comfort. Youd think ice fishing would be cold, but we had a small woodstove (木炉) inside, and we put snow around the bottom of the house to keep the wind from blowing underneath.Besides the thrill of watching your bobber (钓鱼浮标) dip below the water, lunch was always the highlight of the day. Mom would fry pork or hamburgers in a pan. The smell of cooking meat was the envy of every other fish house in the neighborhood.Our days passed with a mix of quiet time and family chatter. We talked about the farm or school. And of course, we shared fishing advice. Part of the fun of ice fishing was learning to understand and trust the sounds of the frozen lake. Healthy ice “talks” as it freezes and shifts. You could often hear the sound of a crack traveling through the ice.People who have never tried ice fishing may not think it sounds very exciting, but it was for us. Fishing trips were an adventure. We didnt always catch fish, but we always brought home great memories of a day with family and friends.24. Which is true about entertainment for the authors family before the fishing trips?A. They enjoyed visiting the countryside.B. They had little choice for entertainment.C. They preferred to take care of their farm.D. They loved to do research on growing crops.25. Why did the author put snow around the bottom of the fish house?A. To protect the fish house.B. To follow an old local tradition.C. To block the wind underneath.D. To sit in a comfortable position.26. What can be inferred from the text?A. The authors mom was not quite interested in cooking.B. The authors family shared fishing advice with each other.C. The author considered those trips enjoyable and meaningful.D. The authors family usually fished alone, far from the crowd.【答案】24. B 25. C 26. C【解析】本文为说明文。作者介绍了冬天的钓鱼旅行给他及家人带来的好处及乐趣。【24题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段中的Before that, their idea of entertainment involved driving around the countryside to see how the neighbors crops were doing.（在那之前，他们的娱乐理念是开车到乡村去看看邻居的庄稼长得怎么样）可知，对作者的家人来说，在没有开始钓鱼旅行之前，他们几乎没有娱乐的选择。故B选项正确。【25题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段中的we put snow around the bottom of the house to keep the wind from blowing underneath.（我们把雪放在房子的底部以防止风从下面吹过来）可知，作者把雪放在鱼屋的底部是为了阻止风从下面吹过来。故C选项正确。【26题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段中的We didnt always catch fish, but we always brought home great memories of a day with family and friends.（我们并不总是钓鱼，但我们总是带回家与家人和朋友一天的美好回忆）可推知，作者认为这些钓鱼旅行是愉快和有意义的。故C选项正确。CI have a pair of pants. Tell me: How many different ways can I put a pair of pants to use?Now imagine youre Lady Gaga. Bill Gates. A scuba diver. An architect. You still have the pants. What other uses come to mind?What you just practicedthe conscious act of “wearing” another selfis an exercise that, according to psychiatrist Srini Pillay, MD, is essential to being creative.One problem about our understanding of creativity is that we tend to connect it to our concept of self: Either were “creative” or we arent, without much of a middle ground. “Im just not a creative person!” a frustrated student might say in art class.Dr. Pillay, an assistant professor at Harvard University, has spent a good part of his career challenging these ideas. He believes that the key to unlocking your creative potential is to reject the old advice that urges you to “believe in yourself.” In fact, you should do the opposite: Believe you are someone else.Dr. Pillay points to a 2016 study where the authors educational psychologists Denis Dumas and Kevin Dunbar-divided their college-student subjects into three groups, instructing one group to think of themselves as “poets” and another to imagine they were “librarians” (the third group was the control). The researchers then presented all the participants with ten ordinary objects, including a fork, a carrot, and a pair of pants, and asked them to come up with as many different uses as possible for each one.Those who were asked to imagine themselves as poets came up with the widest range of ideas, whereas those in the librarian group had the fewest. Meanwhile, the researchers found only small differences in students creativity levels across academic majors. In fact, the physics majors pretending to be poets came up with more ideas than the art majors did.These results, write Dumas and Dunbar, suggest that creativity is not an individual trait but a “product of context and perspective.” Everyone can be creative, as long as he or she feels like a creative person.27. What is Dr. Pillays attitude to the findings of the 2016 study?A. Supportive.B. Doubtful.C. Neutral.D. Critical.28. Why does the author mention the physics majors had more ideas than the art majors in the experiment?A. To prove that physics can help develop creativity.B. To emphasize that creativity had little to do with majors.C. To show that poets are really more imaginative than librarians.D. To imply that physics majors are more creative than art majors.29. Regarding creativity, which of the following statements will the author most like
