11、ree divers enter a hole leading to a water-filled cave on Mexicos Yucatan Peninsula. They swim for an hour. Finally, they reach a large room 60 feet underground and about the size of two basketball courts. Here, they discover an upside-down human skull (the bones of a persons head). Other bones lay

12、nearby.The team came across the skull in 2007. The divers then told the Mexican government about the finding. Soon the government formed a team of scientists to look into it. The group, which included archaeologist (考古学家) Dominique Rissolo, believed that the skull belonged to someone who lived in th

13、e last ice age. At the ice ages height some twenty thousand years ago, sea levels dropped and new land appeared. Over time, rain and wind ate holes into some of the land.“The person may have died after entering the cave,” Rissolo says. Then, when the ice age ended some ten thousand years ago, sea le

14、vels rose. Water flooded the cave, covering the remains.Worrying that moving the skull might destroy it, scientists decided to examine it at its watery resting place. They collected information about the skull and other pieces of bones. They found that the bones belonged to a 15- to 17-year-old girl

15、 who lived at least twelve thousand years ago. The team named her Naia after some sea creatures in Greek myths.Naia is the oldest nearly complete human skeleton (骨架) ever found in the Americas. DNA tests showed that shes a direct ancestor of present-day Native Americans. Naias DNA also matches with

16、people native to Siberia, a part of Russia. Scientists have long thought that ancient people from this area arrived in Alaska during the last ice age. They were the first humans to live in the Americas. And Naia proves how far south they went. (Mexico is a country to the south of the US.)In 2014 the

17、 scientists decided to bring up Naias skull from the cave to protect it from curious divers. So it was taken to a lab, where it remains today.1、What do we learn about the skull?AIt was left alone in the cave.BIt lay under a basketball court.CIt drew the governments attention.DIt was discovered by th

Gary Messina was on his morning run along New Yo

20、rk Citys East River. Suddenly something caught his eye a large 60-year-old man balancing on the four-foot-high fence that guarded the path from the water. As Messina got closer to the scene, the man took a step forward and slipped into the dark river below.When Messina reached nearer, the man was st

21、ruggling in the water, clearly unable to swim. Other joggers also heard the mans cry. David Blauzvern and John Green dropped their phones and keys on land and jumped in. “People had called the police, but it was unclear when theyd get there.” says Green. “We just reacted.” Messina joined them in the

22、 river. Just as the jumper was losing strength, Blauzvern take hold of him. The pair were about 30 yards from the seawall when Messina and Green caught up to them. They seized the man, with Blauzvern supporting his back and Messina and Green holding him up from either side. As the men made their tow

23、ard the concrete seawall that stretched (延伸) for blocks in each direction, Blauzvern had an awful realization: there was no way out of the river.By now, a crowd had gathered on land. “A rescue boat is on its way,” someone yelled to them. Swimming forward was getting tougher by the minute. The jumper

24、, who was six foot two and weighed around 260 pounds, was heavy in his rescuers arms. After ten minutes, they managed to get to the rivers edge. “Ive never been so out of breath,” says Blauzvern.Fifteen minutes after the men had jumped into the river, the two-man rescue boat appeared. But because it

25、 couldnt risk getting too close to the seawall, the men had to swim out to it. “I was completely out of energy at this point,” says Blauzvern. The men in the water pushed the jumper while the men in the boat pulled him up and, finally, to safety. The man they had saved was taken to the hospital for

26、evaluation(评估). Details on his condition have not been known. As for the rescuers, each of them was at work by 10:30 a.m. “I was a bit late,” admits Blauzvern, smiling. “But I had a good excuse.”1、The story mainly centers around _.Awhy the old man slipped into the riverBwho saved the old manChow the

30、llege student，saw the issue while volunteering in a Cambodian village.“I remember quite vividly a mother bathing her newborn baby with laundry powder，which is so harmful to the skin，”said Lakhani.“Its difficult for rural Cambodians to access soap.First is affordability.If you earn only$1.50 every da

31、y，you wont spend $1 on a bar of soap.Then comes access.The demand is so low that local shops dont stock soap.The last reason，because many Cambodians dont really understand where diseases come from，they dont know how to prevent them，including using soap.”After figuring out a solution to the problem:t

32、he barely-used soap in hotels，Lakhani started asking hotels to donate leftover soap.“They were all eager to help，”he explained.Lakhani registered Eco-Soap Bank shortly afterwards.Soon，he received enough funds to hire disadvantaged Cambodian women to collect and reproduce the used soap.Today，the orga

33、nization has four recycling centers across the country，providing jobs to 3 local women.And so far，some 174，000 bars of soap have been donated，about 24，000 pounds of soap has been recycled，and hygiene(卫生)has been improved for about 661，000 people.“We are killing three birds with one stone，”Lakhani sa

34、id.When it comes to the future of Eco-Soap Bank，Lakhani said，“Weve just scratched the surface.Lack of hygiene is not something unique to Cambodia.The demand for improved hygiene in the developing world is huge，and much remains to be done.Were looking at seven countries to expand to in the near futur

38、giene remains a serious problem in the world.24（8分）Ever feel like youve been hit on the head after a bad nights sleep? According to scientists, the thought isnt as unbelievable as it seems.A study found going without sleep for just one night causes changes in the brain similar to those that happen a

39、fter a blow to the head. The researchers said the healthy young men examined in the study showed a sudden rise in the same chemicals which indicate(表明) brain damage. Professor Christian Benedict, of Uppsala University, Sweden, explained that the chemicals NSE and S-100B are biomarkers(生物指标) for brai

40、n damage, such as concussion(脑震荡). He said, “What we found was their levels in the blood rose in the group that went without sleep for a night. This was not to the degree that would happen after a head injury, for example, but it was still worth paying attention to. During sleep, the brain cleans it

41、self of poisonous substances.” He said the findings support the previous(以前的) research showing how the brain makes use of sleep to clean itself.Professor Benedict also said his study could support previous studies which linked a lack of sleep with increased risk of Alzheimers and Parkinsons diseases

42、. The rise of the chemicals in the blood after sleep loss may suggest not getting enough sleep leads to a loss of brain tissue, he explained. Professor Benedict, whose study is published in the journal Sleep, added, “In conclusion, the findings of our trial indicate a good nights sleep may be very i

43、mportant for keeping brain health.”A third of the UK population suffer from sleep-related problems, while the average person now sleeps for only seven hours a night, compared with almost nine a few decades ago. Many scientists believe irregular sleeping patterns lead to illnesses ranging from aches

44、and pains to heart disease, while less than eight hours sleep a night can lower the IQ the next day.1、If you dont sleep for a night, what will happen?AThere will be a rise in the chemicals NSE and S-100BBThe chemicals NSE and S-100B will drop to a lower levelCSome of the chemicals NSE and S-100B wil

45、l change into other mattersDThe chemicals NSE and S-100B will be less able to get rid of poisonous matters2、What is the previous study mainly about according to the passage?AThe way to avoid brain damageBThe ways to improve the quality of sleepCThe ways that have effect on peoples sleepDThe way the

46、brain uses sleep to clean itself3、We can we infer from the last paragraph that .Amans intelligence is affected by sleep in a wayBpeople who need more sleep have a higher IQCone fourth of the UK population have sleep-related problemsDmodern people need less sleep than those a few decades ago4、Whats i

47、s the theme of the passage?AEight hours sleep is importantBHow human brains work during sleepCSleep loss is close to a blow to the headDRegular sleeping patterns improve health25（10分）I was sitting in a fast food restaurant with my two children, who at the time were about 6 and 9. Inside there was al

48、so a group of teens in Gothic(哥特式的) dress and appearance. Everyone kept away from them inside the restaurant.Outside the restaurant, people jumped past the homeless man searching the garbage bin, who was looking for food or perhaps a cigarette. I too had rushed past him with my youngsters, refusing

49、his request for money but thinking maybe, just maybe, I would bring him some food. It turned out that I didnt have to.One girl in the Gothic youth jumped up, went to the counter and ordered more food, which she then took outside to the homeless man and sat on the bench with him, chatting away as he

50、ate. He didnt say muchhe was greedybut I think I saw a bit of a smile and a flash in his eyes as he nodded to her questions.Writing this now, several years later, I still choke up. That girl was a model citizen living the values of goodness and kindness. These are values I have always held high and

51、hoped to teach my kids. She made my job much easier. We stopped by on our way out and thanked her for setting such a positive example for us. I hope that hearing that has made as much of a difference in her life as seeing what she did has made to ours.1、Why did people keep away from the teens in the

52、 fast food restaurant?ABecause they were dressed in Gothic dress.BBecause they were too young to pay their meal.CBecause they liked to quarrel with others.DBecause they killed two children.2、What did the homeless man want the author to do?ATo help him get money. BTo bring him some food.CTo provide h

53、im with money. DTo refuse to take care of him.3、It can be inferred that the homeless man _.Awas very greedy in deed Bwas very hungry at that timeCdidnt like talking with others much Ddidnt answer the girls questions4、What can we learn about the author from the passage?AThe author is also a model cit

54、izen like the girl.BThe author sets a good example for the girl.CThe author is deeply moved by the girl.DThe author has sympathy for the girl.第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节）第一节（每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项26（30分）The findings come _36_ a study of nearly 1,000 US people that looked at di

Even though chocolate is loaded with calories, it contains ingredients（材料）that may favour weight loss _40_ tha

56、n fat synthesis, scientists believe._41_ boosting calorie intake, regular chocolate consumption was related to lower BMI in the study, _42_ is published in Archives of Internal Medicine. The link remained even when other factors, like how _43_ exercise individuals did, were taken into _44_.And it ap

57、pears it is how often you eat chocolate that is important, rather than how much of it you eat. The _45_ found no link with quantity consumed._46_ to the researchers, there is only one chance in a hundred that their findings could be explained by chance alone. Lead author Dr Beatrice Golomb, from the

58、 University of California at San Diego, said: Our findings appear to add to a body of information suggesting that the composition of calories, not just the number of them, matters for determining their ultimate impact on weight.This is not the first time scientists _47_ that chocolate may be healthy

59、 for us. Other studies have claimed chocolate may be good for the heart. Consumption of certain types of chocolate has been linked to some favourable changes in blood pressure, insulin（胰岛素）sensitivity and cholesterol（胆固醇）level. And chocolate, _48_ dark chocolate, does contain antioxidants（抗氧化剂）which

60、 can help to mop up harmful free radicals - unstable chemicals that can damage our cells.Dr Golomb and her team believe that antioxidant compounds, called catechins（儿茶素）, can improve lean muscle mass and reduce weight _49_ studies in rodents would suggest this might be so.
