The killdeer, a small
bird known for its high-pitched(声调高的)call, could
lead to the
cancellation(取消) of one of Canada'
biggest music festivals.
The first
hint of trouble for Ottawa's Bluesfest, an outdoor
festival that draws around 300,000
people each
year, came last week after workers at the site
found one of the birds. It had laid four
eggs
nearby, effectively claiming the main stage area
as its nesting ground. is one of the
most
challenging problems we've been presented with,
but we feel we can work through this,
said Mark
Monahan, executive director of the festival.
major effect, so we're taking it very
seriously.
The discovery meant that
government officials rushed to protect the nest
and the eggs, hiring a
security guard to watch
over them 24 hours a day.
Environmentalists were also brought in. don't know
when the eggs might hatch,said
Monahan. What
is known is that the young killdeer will likely
leave the nest soon after they are
hatched,
leading many to hope that the eggs hatch in the
next day or so.
The festival is now
seeking permission from Environment Canada to
relocate(搬迁)the nest
some 50 meters away or
take it to a wildlife center. Moving the nest
would also ensure the bird
and its young would
be protected during the festival's 11-day run,
said Monahan. It's highly likely
that the
festival's thousands of attendees would cause huge
problems for the bird and its eggs.
Monahan
was confident that the festival would go on as
planned, however.
we're working with are
looking for a positive solution,
that the
festival can't go on.
As news of the
dilemma spread, it left residents divided. Some
supported the bird, saying that
moving the
nest might result in the eggs being abandoned.
Others expressed annoyance that
protecting the
eggs of the small bird, which is widespread across
North America, was risking an
annual festival
that contributes millions of dollars to the local
economy.
The killdeer's tendency to
build its nest in open fields or flat areas has
caused issues in other
areas of the US:
earlier this year, construction of a health center
in Wisconsin was temporarily
stopped after a
killdeer and its four eggs were discovered.

2.阅读理解
Everybody, at some point in their lives, has
experienced failure. It could be something as
simple
as not getting the job you wanted, or
getting fewer marks even after hard work. But what
makes
you is not your failure, but how you get
back up after being hit.
Once, a young
school boy was caught in a fire accident in his
school and was assumed that he
would not live.
His mother was told that he was sure to die, for
the terrible fire had destroyed the
lower half
of his body. Even if he were to survive, he would
be lame throughout his life.
But the
brave boy did not want to die nor did he want to
be lame. Much to the amazement of
the doctor,
he did survive. But unfortunately from his waist
down, he had no motor ability. His
thin legs
just hung there, lifeless. Eventually he left the
hospital. But his determination to walk
was
unshakable. At home, when he was not in bed, he
had to stay in a wheelchair. One day, he
threw
himself from the chair and pulled himself across
the grass, dragging his legs behind him. He
reached the fence, raised himself up and then
began dragging himself along the fence, firmly
determined. He did this every day, with faith
in himself that he would be able to walk unaided.
With his iron determination, he did develop
the ability to stand up, then to walk on and off,
then
to walk by himself and then to run.
He began to walk to school, and then run
to school, to run for the joy of running. Later in
college he was on the track team.
In February 1934, in New York City's Madison
Square Garden, this young man who was not
expected to survive, who would surely never
walk, who could never hope to run-this determined
young man, Dr. Glenn Cunningham, ran the
world's fastest mile.
A good example
of the power of positive thinking and faith in
one's self, Glenn Cunningham
continues to be
an inspiration for many, and his story, a
brilliant evidence to how one can bounce
back
even when all difficulties are piled against one,
to the degree that death seemed the
preferable
option.
(1)The first paragraph is intended
to ________.
A. present an
argument B.
make preparations for statement
C. arouse
readers' interest
D. function as a brief introduction
(2)What was the doctor's opinion about Glenn?
A. Glenn was able to walk with his own
great effort.
B. Great determination could
make a difference to Glenn.
C. There was a
slim chance that Glenn could survive.
D.
Glenn could live a normal life with the upper
halt
(3)What do we know about Glenn?
A. Glenn took recovery exercise in
hospital. B. Glenn inspired people with his
moving story.
C. Glenn won the first place
in Marathon. D. Glenn organized a track
team in college.
(4)What can be a suitable
title for the text?
A.
Strengthen determination
B. Stand up after failure
C. Go after
dreams
D. Face difficulty bravely
【答案】

3.阅读理解
It is bad to
have food stuck between your teeth for long
periods of time. This is because food
attracts
germs; germs produce acid, and acid hurts your
teeth and gums. Flossing (使用牙线)
helps to
remove the food that gets stuck between your
teeth. This explains why flossing helps to
keep your mouth healthy, but some doctors say
that flossing can also be good for your heart.
It may seem strange that something you do
for your teeth can have any effect on your heart.
Doctors have come up with a few ideas about
how flossing works to keep your heart healthy. One
idea is that the germs that hurt your teeth
can leave the mouth and travel into your
that
get into the blood can then attack your heart.
Another idea is based on the fact that when
there are too many germs in your mouth, the
body tries to fight against there germs. For some
reason, the way the body fights these mouth
germs may end up weakening the heart overtime.
Not every doctor agrees about these ideas.
Some doctors think that the link between good
flossing habits and good heart health is only
a coincidence. The incidence (发生率) of two or
more events is completely random, as they do
not admit of any reliable cause and effect
relationship between them. For example, every
time I wash my car, it rains. This does not mean
that when I wash my car, I somehow
change the weather. This is only a coincidence.
Similarly,
some doctors think that people who
have bad flossing habits just happen to also have
heart
problems, and people who have good
flossing habits just happen to have healthy
hearts.
The theory that flossing your
teeth helps to keep your heart healthy might not
be true. But
every doctor agrees that flossing
is a great way to keep your teeth healthy. So even
if flossing
does not help your heart, it is
true to help your teeth. This is enough of a
reason for everyone to
floss their teeth every
day.
(1)From the passage, we know that
________.
A. food stuck between your
teeth may hurt your teeth
B. all of the
doctors agree that flossing is good for your
heart
C. doctors' judgment about flossing
is based on medical research
D. not every
doctor thinks flossing helps to keep your teeth
healthy
(2)The underlined sentence in
Paragraph 3 is to ________.
A.
provide an example
B. make a comparison
C. introduce a new
topic D.
develop the previous statement
(3)Which of
the following best states the main idea of the
last paragraph?
A. It is a fact that
flossing can help your heart as well as your
teeth.
B. There is no good reason to
believe that flossing will help your heart.
C. Because doctors find flossing won't help
your heart, it is useless to floss.
D.
Even if flossing is only good for your teeth, you
should still do it every day.
(4)Which is
the best title for the passage?
A.
Flossing by Coincidence
B. How to Keep Your Teeth Healthy
C.
Flossing Habits and Healthy Hearts
D. Why Doctors Disagree About Flossing
【答案】 (1)A
(2)D
(3)D
(4)C
【解析】【分析】本文提到经过研究,剔牙与保持心脏之间没有必然
的联系,但剔牙能保
护牙齿的健康是可以肯定的。
( 1
)推理判断题。根据第一段提到It is bad to have food stuck between
your teeth for long
periods of time. This is
because food attracts germs(细菌), germs produce
acid, and acid hurts
your teeth and gums.(长时间让
食物停留在牙齿是有害处的,这是因为食物能吸引细菌,细
菌会产生酸,腐蚀你的牙齿),故选A项。<
br>
( 2 )句意猜测题。Not every doctor agrees about
these ideas不是每个医生都对这些问题持相
同的态度,Some doctors
think that the link between good flossing habits
and good heart health
is only a
coincidence.一些医生认为用牙线剔牙与心脏健康之间的关系只是偶然Similarly,
some doctors think that people who have bad
flossing habits just happen to also have heart
problems一些医生认为有剔牙习惯的碰巧有心脏问题,故是发展以前的观点,因此选D
项。<
br>
( 3 ) 段落大意题。根据最后一段提到剔牙能保持你的心脏健康这一理论可能并不正确的
,
但医生同意剔牙能保证牙齿的健康,因此即使剔牙不能有助于你的心脏,肯定能保护你牙
齿,
这就是每天剔牙的重要原因,故选D项。
( 4 )主旨标题题。本文提到经过研究,剔牙与
保持心脏之间没有必然的联系,但剔牙能保
护牙齿的健康是可以肯定的,故选C项。

Dutch beachcomber (海滩拾荒者)
Wim Kruiswijk has accumulated a collection of
1,200
messages-in-bottles over the course of
nearly 4 decades and has responded to almost all
of them,
68-year-old Kruiswijk says
that his unusual hobby began in 1983 when he found
three drift
bottles (漂流瓶) on his local beach,
each containing letters and return addresses. He
wrote to all
three addresses and was surprised
to receive responses from each one. It was this
experience
that aroused his interest in
hunting and collecting messages in bottles, and he
hasn't stopped
looking for them since.
“I find my messages in bottles on the
beach of Zandvoort, where I live, and on the Dutch
Islands,” Kruiswijk recently told Great Big
Story. “Messages in bottles is slow mail. It takes
you
days, or weeks, or months to find a
bottle. ”
In the early years,
Kruiswijk would find as many as 50 bottles a year,
but since 2000 that has
slowed to around 20-30
finds, mainly due to beach cleaning efforts. He
believes that the rise of
the Internet has
also played a role in the diminishing number of
messages in bottles, telling Dutch
newssite
PZC, “I used to get a response at half the bottle
messages that I answered. Now that's
less;
many people want 'instant satisfaction'.”
Throwing a message in a bottle out into the sea is
a longstanding human tradition dating back
to
the time of the Greek philosopher Theophrastus,
about 310 BC,who used the bottles to
study
water currents. Scientists still apply the method
to this day, as a means to help researchers
develop ocean circulation maps, and to
crowdsource scientific studies of ocean
currents.
In the past bottles have
also been used to send distress messages from
sailors in trouble. They
also have been used
for memorial tributes, or to send loved ones'
ashes on a final journey. One of
the more
common uses though is just to send invitations out
to prospective pen pals, a quaint
notion in
these modern times, but, as Kruiswijk so clearly
shows, an effective one.
(1)What does
Paragraph 2 mainly tell us?
A. Kruiswijk found secrets hidden in
drift bottles. B. What made Kruiswijk
become a
beachcomber.
C. How Kruiswijk
formed the hobby of collecting drift bottles.
D. Kruiswijk liked to do some
research on
bottles thrown into the sea.
(2)How did
Kruiswijk feel the first time he received response
from drift bottles?
A.
Satisfied. B. Asionished.
C. Frightened. D.
Disappointed.
(3)Why do Kruiswijk find
fewer drift bottles than before?
A. People hate to receive messages from
strangers. B. Many drift bottles have not
been
washed up onto the beaches.
C.
Drift bottles appearing on the beach are cleared
up rapidly. D. Fewer people are interested
in Kruiswijk's message in bottles.
(4)What's the purpose of Theophrastus using
the bottles?
A. To ask for
rescue.
B. To look for a pen pal.
C. To study
ocean currents. D.
To send a message to his loved person.
【答案】(1)C
(2)B

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇新闻报道,漂流瓶是一个长期存在的人类
传统,一直被用于
发送遇险信息,纪念亲人或发邀请函,还用于帮助研究人员进行洋流的研究。
(1)考查段落大意。第二段主要讲述了68岁的Kruiswijk的不寻常的爱好始于1983,当
他在
当地的海滩发现三个有信件和回信地址的漂流瓶,他给每个漂流瓶留的地址都写了回信,

段主要描写了Kr
uiswijk如何养成了收集漂流瓶的嗜好。故选C。
(2)考查细节理解。根据第二段中的“He … was surprised to
receive responses from each one”可
知,当他收到回信后他是非常
惊讶的。surprised“惊讶的”,与asionished是同义词。故选
B。
(3)考查推理判断。根据第四段中的“but since 2000 that has
slowed to around 20-30 finds,
mainly due to
beach cleaning efforts. He believes that the rise
of the Internet has also played a
role in the

Learning, Fast and Deep
Over the past five years researchers in
artificial intelligence have become the rock stars
of the
technology world. A branch of AI known
as deep learning, which uses neural(神经的) networks
to
scan through large volumes of data looking
for patterns, has proven so useful that skilled
practitioners can command high six-figure
salaries to build software for Amazon, Apple,
Facebook
and Google.
The
standard route into these jobs has been a PhD in
computer science from one of America's
top
universities. Earning one takes years and requires
a personality suited to academia, which is
rare among more normal folk.
That
is changing.
Last month , a non-profit
education organization based in San Francisco,
kicked off the
third year of its course in
deep learning. Since its foundation it has
attracted more than 100, 000
students around
the globe from India to Nigeria. The course and
others like it, come with a
simple idea: there
is no need to spend years obtaining a PhD in order
to practise deep learning.
Creating software
that learns can be taught as a craft, not as a
high intellectual pursuit to be
undertaken
only in an ivory tower. Fast. ai's course can be
completed in just seven weeks.
To make
it accessible to anyone who wants to learn how to
build AI software is the aim of
Jeremy Howard,
who founded with Rachel Thomas, a mathematician.
He says school
mathematics is sufficient.
fist for punctuation.
Some experts
worry that this will serve only to create a flood
of unreliable AI systems which
will be
useless at best and dangerous at worst. In the
earliest days of the Internet, only a select
few nerds, namely computer holies with
specific skills, could build applications. Not
many people
used them. Then the invention of
the World Wide Web led to an explosion of web
pages, both
good and bad. But it was only by
opening up to all that the Internet gave birth to
online shopping,
instant global communications
and search. If Mr. Howard and others have their
way, making the
development of AI software
easier will bring forth a new crop of fruit of a
different kind.
(1)What can we learn about
deep learning?
A. It replaces
artificial intelligence. B. It
attracts rock stars to practice.
C. It
scans patterns for large companies. D.
It helps technicians to create software.
(2)Fast. ai is an organization that .
A. ensures one to obtain a PhD
B. teaches craft in ivory tower
C. offers
a course in deep learning D.
requires weeks to apply
(3)The underlined
words
A. easy
B. difficult C.

boring
(4)It can be inferred from the last
paragraph that .
A. it is
quite reliable for anyone to grasp artificial
intelligence
B. the Internet has brought
forth a flood of useless AI systems
C.
opening up to all leads to instant global search
and online shopping
D. simplifying

Several years ago, I began asking my friends and
family to tell me something about their
passwords. Yes, I understand why passwords are
universally hated: the pressure they put on our
memory and the endless demand to update them.
I hate them too. But there is more to
passwords than their annoyance. In the fact
that we construct them so that we can remember
them, they take on secret lives.
There was a former prisoner whose password
includes what used to be his prison ID number to
constantly tell him not to go back. And there
was a childless 45-year-old woman whose password
is the name of the baby she lost in her 25
(her way of trying to keep him alive, I
guess).

make the residents who
live in the nursing home realize their dreams.
Last May, Ruby Kate noticed a
resident named Pearl staring out a window. She
seemed sad.
because she couldn't afford to
raise it. Ruby Kate and her mother, Amanda, asked
around and
discovered that many nursing home
residents are unable to afford even the smallest
luxuries. So
Ruby Kate decided to do something
about it.
She started by asking
residents what three things they wanted most in
the world. Amanda
worried that people would
ask for cars and other things an 11-year-old
wouldn't be able to
provide. Instead, they
asked for chocolate bars, McDonald fries, pants
that ft properly and even
just prayer. Using
heir own money, the Chitseys granted the wishes of
about 100 people in three
months. Then they
started asking for donations.
The good
people of Harrison responded enthusiastically, so
much so hat Amanda set up a
GoFundMe page,
Three Wishes for Ruby's Residents, hoping to
collect %5,000. They hit their goal
in a
month. After GoFundMe named Ruby Kate a Kid Hero
and promoted her story internationally
this
past January, Three Wishes raised $$20,000 in 24
hours and more than $$250,000 in five
months.

It's thought that around
5 trillion pieces of plastic are currently
floating in our oceans.
Both mammals
and fish benefit from clean oceans. It is reported
that more than 8 million tons
of plastic end
up in our oceans every year, and nearly half of
the plastic we produce is single-use
only.
This shoe brand, however, is riding the
wave of change and is on a mission to help clean
up our
waters and rid the sea of plastic
bottles that can take up to 400 years to break
down.
Vivobarefoot's newest footwear uses
recycled plastic materials and has created an
education
program that spreads awareness about
how harmful plastic is for sea life.
Every pair of shoes is made up of 17 plastic water
bottles taken from the ocean and turned into
a
sustainable, comfortable pair of shoes, which are
also healthy for your feet. And while not
everyone can take part in ocean cleanups,
choosing little ways we can give back to our
planet
goes a long way.
Vivobarefoot's new products include a variety of
high-performance styles such as casual
sneakers, running shoes, and hiking boots. The
brand hopes that its latest
initiative(首创精神)
will help lessen the
indifference to pollution and how harmful it is
for all living beings.
In the future,
Vivobarefoot hopes to increase their production of
shoes created from
sustainable materials, and
thankfully, they are now one of many brands that
aim to increase
environmentalism and
educate communities on how global warming affects
everyone.
This year, they'll add more
recyclable and traceable materials into more than
half of their
production line, and they have
plenty of creative developments in the works as
well.
The shoes also have a health
benefit. Based on the concept that wider,
minimally designed
shoes enable our foot to
function at maximum potential, wearers also
experience better balance
and sensory
input.

15.阅读理解
When I was three years old, I couldn't speak. It
was a strange reality that none of the doctors I
visited could understand.
One day,
I was shadowing(跟随)my mother. She found herself
looking in a mirror, and through
it our eyes
met. She began to speak to me through the
reflection, and I slowly began to mimic(模
仿)her
mouth's movements until I formed a word.
It turned out I'm deaf in my left ear, and have a
slight problem in my right. Being hard of
hearing has been difficult, but I've never
lived in a state of self-hating sorrow.
Imagine being able to shut out all sound as you
lay your head down to sleep by simply rolling
over onto one side. That's my reality when I
sleep on my
superhero sometimes.
People call my deaf side my
of features that
some other deaf people don't. In cinemas, for
example, with one click of a button
I can
enjoy a whole film as though it were whispered to
me from the mouths of the actors.
Owning a hearing aid hasn't always felt good,
however. On the first day I got my aid, when I was
eight, I took it to school for show-and-tell.
As I explained how it worked to my classmates, a
boy
yelled out,
get over that sense of
being so unlike my peers.
But it's not
just school kids who can make us deaf and hard-of-
hearing people feel like burdens.
Every video
on social media that lacks subtitles(字幕), for
example, means an entire community
of deaf
people is unable to enjoy it. Completely deaf
people are excluded from enjoying many
movies
too, as subtitles in cinemas are almost impossible
to find.
And with hearing aids costing
around $$2,500 each, it can be hard for many people
to afford to
be able to listen to the things
that others take for granted. As for me, I can
listen to music, enjoy
films, and catch
conversations – I'm lucky. I'm deaf, but I can
still hear everything. I've been
blessed with
wonderful life experiences, and I am human. And
when it comes to sleeping, I'm
even
superhuman.
(1)How does the author view
his hearing difficulty?
's a
disaster and causes him a lot of trouble.
gave him a chance to experience something
special.
made him feel embarrassed
in front of his classmates.
helped him to
live in his own world without being
interrupted.
(2)What can be inferred from
the passage about the author?
was born deaf.
is optimistic and
helpful.
hearing aid brings convenience
to his daily life.
family and classmates
have supported him a lot.
(3)What is the
author's attitude toward his life?
d.

(4)What is the author's main purpose in
writing the article?
give
advice on life to disabled people.

how difficult life is for disabled people.
show the convenience a hearing aid could
bring.
share his experience of treating a
disadvantage with gratitude.

They have beaten us at chess, and now
computers are taking a step into a very human
territory:
the reading comprehension
test, which schoolchildren everywhere are
suffering.
Alibaba said its artificial
research outperformed mere mortals (凡人) in a
global reading test
that seeks answers to such
pressing questions as
big is the Amazon
rainforest?
Luo Si referred to the
machines' victory as
from customer service to
museum tutorials to medical enquires-some of which
are already being
handled by chatbots (聊天机器人)
globally.
In the test, companies
subjected their artificial intelligence systems to
queries from the
Stanford Question Answering
Dataset, which assessed reading comprehension. The
computers'
answers were compared against
average human responses and ranked.
Tying in top place were Microsoft, the US software
giant, and Alibaba, the Chinese tech group
that began with ecommerce and--like its peers
at home and abroad---is ploughing more funds
into AI, much of it via its research arm.
While Microsoft and Alibaba won by the
slimmest of margins---at accuracy levels a few
basis
points above humans' 82.3 per cent in
providing exact matches to questions--the tie
provided a
fitting symbol of the AI arms race
between the US and China.
China aims
to use its vast troves (宝库)of data, collected from
its 1.4 billion population
including 730
million who are online, and deep pockets to
overtake the US in creating a $$150
billion
industry that is seen as the next industrial
revolution. AI is already being harnessed in
everything from driverless cars to customising
newsfeeds.
While China's drive is
being spearheaded by government, it is cultivating
homegrown tech
giants including Baidu, Alibaba
and Tencent to leap ahead of the US.
Baidu made an early bet on AI, and is leading its
rivals in autonomous driving. Tencent, which
boasts just shy of 1 billion monthly active
users on its social media WeChat app, and Alibaba
have
adopted AI in operations such as
customizing news and ads, and are investing in new
fields.
(1)What does Luo Si think of Al's
performance in reading comprehension?
feels frightened at it.
has
some doubts about it.
thinks highly of
it.
considers it worth a try.
(2)How did the reading test carry on for Al?
allowing them to interact with
humans.
asking them to answer
questions.
giving them questions to
analyze.
making them compete with
chatbots.
(3)What does China depend on to
lead in Al?
new industrial
revolution.
huge market of $$150 billion
industry investment.
e data from its 1.4
billion population and huge amounts of
treasure.
cooperation between Chinese
government and Microsoft.
(4)In which
field does Baidu do better than its rivals?
medical enquires.
customer service.
er news feeds.
driverless cars.
【答案】 (1)C
(2)B
(3)C
(4)D
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了人工智能的发展。
(1)考查推理判断。根据第三段“Luo Si referred to the machines'
victory as ‘a milestone’. He
said the
technology has many uses, from customer service to
museum tutorials to medical
enquires-some of
which are already being handled by chatbots
(聊天机器人) globally.”可知司罗
把机器取得的这个胜利称为一个里程碑,称该技术有
很多用途,从客户服务、博物馆讲
解,到医疗查询,其中一些在全球范围已经由聊天机器人处理。他对人
工智能评价很高,
所以选C。
(2)考查细节理解。根据第四段“In the
test, companies subjected their artificial
intelligence
systems to queries from the
Stanford Question Answering Dataset, which
assessed reading
comprehension. The computers'
answers were compared against average human
responses and

What do
Leonardo da Vincii, Marie Curie, and Albert
Einstein have in common? They were all
left-
handed, along with other famous people including
Brad Pitt Prince William, and Barack
Obama. In
fact, an estimated 13 percent of the world's
population may be left-handed and still
most
people around the world are right-handed.
What makes a person become right-handed rather
than left-handed? As yet no one really
knows
for sure. One simple idea suggests that people
normally get right-handedness from their
parents. Studies have found that two right-
handed parents have only a 9.5 percent chance of
having a left-handed child, whereas two left-
handed parents have a 26 percent chance of having
a left-handed child. Another common theory is
that left-handed people suffer mild brain damage
during birth, which makes them left-
handed. However, if this theory were true, it
would not
explain why the percentage of left-
banded people is so similar in every society, when
birth
conditions vary so much from society to
society.
Whatever the reasons behind
it, people's attitudes toward left-handedness have
changed a lot
over the years. Statistics show
that although 13 percent of young people (10-20
years old) are
left-handed, only 6 percent of
the elderly are left-handed. Left-handed children
used to be
punished until they began using
their right hand like other children, but today
people who are
left-handed are no longer
looked down on nor are they considered abnormal.
For most people
today, either case is
perfectly acceptable.
(1)What makes one
right-handed?
A. The
environment.
B. Mild brain damage during birth.
C. The
reason is uncertain.
D. Other people.
(2)Why is the number of
young people who are left-handed bigger than that
of the elderly?
A. Because the
elderly are forced to become right-handed.
B. Because left-handed people
are considered
abnormal.
C. Because left-handedness can
be cured. D. Because the young are easily
damaged.
(3)What does the text mainly talk
about?
A. Left-handed people
are looked down upon. B. General facts
about left-handed people.
C. Some famous
left-handed people. D. The reasons
why people are left-handed.
【答案】(1)C
(2)B
(3)B
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文,关于左撇子现象作者进行了介绍和说明。
(1)考查细节理解。第二段中讲了很多右手的使用比左手平常的可能性原因,根据” As
yet no one really knows for sure.”可知,虽然对于右手的使用
比左手更为普遍这一现象有不同
猜测,但是原因不明。故选C。
(2)考查细节理解。根据第三段“Statistics show that although
13 percent of young people
(10-20 years old)
are left-handed, only 6 percent of the elderly are
left-handed. Left-handed
children used to be
punished until they began using their right hand

知,以前的左撇子孩子都会受到鄙视或者被
认为是不正常的,所以,那一代的孩子会被惩
罚直到他们改变这样的习惯,但是,现在人们的态度已经转
变了。故选B。
(3)考查主旨大意。本文以客观、中立的态度描写了关于“左撇子”的一些事实,故选B。

They say that an apple a
day keeps the doctor away. Well, there is one lady
who believes that
it's actually chocolate. At
102 years of age, she's living proof.
According to Boonville, Indiana's Eunice Modlin, a
daily dose of chocolate has been the key to a
long and healthy life. Specifically,
two pieces of dark chocolate. It's not just Eunice
who believes
this.
Many scientists
have attributed the sweet to health benefits such
as lower chances of cancer,
cardiovascular
disease, and diabetes.
However,
researchers believe that Eunice might be
overlooking the fact that she has never
smoked
or drunk alcohol in her long life, and that
chocolate might not be the significant cause of
her longevity.
Vanessa
Rissetto said.
At any rate, Eunice is
still alive and kicking. With four children, seven
grandkids, 14 great-
grandkids and 11 great-
great grandkids, this lady has a big family.
It must be noted that Eunice was also very
athletic, being an archer in her 20s .Amazingly,
she
has lived through tough times such as the
Great Depression and World War II .Also, the
healthy
blood runs through the veins of other
family members. Eunice's brother is also still
alive, at 101
years of age.
No
matter what you might think, Eunice's consumption
of chocolate can't be ignored. In 2015,
a BMJ
study showed that a daily treat of one small bar
would give the consumer 23% less chance
of
having a stroke (中风).
What is in the
sweet that makes it so beneficial? Apparently,
cocoa beans have flavonoids,
plant nutrients
that have useful antioxidants (抗氧化剂).
milk chocolate, and white chocolate—which does
not actually contain chocolate—is not a good
source of flavonoids.
(1)According to
the article, which of the following lead to Eunice
Modlin's long and healthy
life?
a. two
pieces of dark chocolate
b. genes
c. lifelong exercise
d. good diet
e. love of her large family
A. a, b, d
B. b, c, d C. a,
b, e D. a, c,
d
(2)Rissetto thinks that .
A. chocolate is the most important thing
that affects Eunice's health B. no smoking
or
drinking contributes the most to Eunice's
longevity
C. chocolate really has nothing
to do with her long and healthy life D.
Eunice's good diet
doesn't only mean taking
chocolate every day
(3)What the author
presented in the passage sounds .
A. persuasive B.
objective C. subjective
D. critical
(4)From the whole passage we
can conclude that______________.
A. there's universal proof for what
contributes to a long life B. it is
generally accepted that
chocolate is the key
to longevity
C. many factors may
contribute to people's good health D. a
bit of any chocolate a day keeps
the doctor
away

Plastic sludge(污泥)and
garbage is a disaster for the world's oceans. A
film crew traveled the
globe to document the
rubbish. And Julie Andersen of the Plastic Oceans
Foundation says what
we see is just the tip of
the problem. “Half of the waste actually sinks to
the bottom, and that
remains on the surface
actually breaks down. ”
The filmmakers
found rubbish in ocean gyres, the circulating
currents that trap large
concentrations of
pollution in the Atlantic, Indian, and Pacifc
Oceans, home of what some have
plastic. What
we found was a plastic smog that spread throughout
all the water. And in some
parts of the
oceans, scientists have found more plastic than
plant. ”
The pieces of the plastic
garbage infect the food chain, sometimes visibly,
and more so at the
microscopic level,
where the plastic particles interact with other
pollutants. “There are heavy
metals,
medicines, industrial waste in the sea, while it
acts like magnets(磁铁). These poisonous
substances absorb on the plastic, and then
when seafood absorbs the plastics, those poisonous
substances enter the fatty tissues. ”To be
consumed by other sea life and by people at
last.
China, Indonesia, the
Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam are the worst
plastic polluters. The
United States, although
a leader in recycling, is one of the world's 20
since it produces and
consumes so much
plastic. There are efforts around the world to
address the problem, including
at this newly
opened recycling center in Lebanon(黎巴嫩). But
Andersen says there is more that
people can
do. “Cut back on single-use plastics, straws,
plastic cups, plastic water bottles, plastic
bags and find alternatives like reusable
materials.” She says healthy oceans are essential
to our
survival.
(1)What can we learn
from the passage?
A. There's
all island full of plastic rubbish in the
Pacific.

For
years, my time spent in the shower could have got
me a mention in Guinness World
Records as the
shortest time taken to bathe. I hurried up during
this process.
One day, however, while
at a party, I heard an artist friend telling
everybody that his idea came
while he was
having a shower. “What about you?” he asked,
“Don't you get your creative
thoughts from the
same place?”
“I'm in and out in a
hurry,” I told him proudly. “I have no time to
waste!”
“What a pity,” he said.
“That's the place where you need to slow down;
plenty of great
thoughts come from there!” I
tried it out. I slowed down the whole process,
started enjoying the
warm water, taking a
little longer to soap myself and even spending
more time just enjoying the
process, and
realized how much I had missed in hurrying up all
these years.
A woman told me how much
stress her friend was suffering from and how she
sought to
convince her that she needed to find
ways to relax. She gave her a videotape on stress
management and relaxation techniques, and
encouraged her to watch it right away. Fifteen
minutes later, her friend handed back the
tape. “It was good,” she said,” but I don't need
it.”
“But it's a 70 - minute video,”
the woman replied, “You couldn't have watched the
whole
thing.”
“Yes, I did,” her
friend said. “I put it in fast - forward!”
A major social problem of the 21st century is
Hurry Sickness. We hurry through work. We
swallow fast food. We complain that we don't
have enough time. We race through the days and
weeks until one day we look back in amazement
and comment, “My god, how the years flew by!”
Then we realize the heavy price we have paid
for traveling fast.
Symptoms of Hurry
Sickness include stress and anxiety, bad
relationships, lowered work
performance and
even disease. Some people don't survive it. What's
the cure? Slow down, for
life is so short and
precious that we must live it well.
