A new study, published this week in the jurnal Frntiers in Veterinary Science, reveals that nn-human animals' tears are nt s different frm ur wn. The chemical similarities are s great, in fact, that the cmpsitin f ther species' tears—and hw they're adapted t their envirnments-may prvide insights int better treatments fr human eye disease.
Previusly, scientists had studied clsely nly the tears f a handful f mammals, including humans, dgs, hrses, camels, and mnkeys. In the new study, Brazilian veterinarians analyzed the tears f reptiles and birds fr the first time, fcusing n seven species.

The Pmdr technique is prbably ne f the mst pwerful techniques in all f learning. All yu have t d is set a timer fr 25 minutes, and then just fcus as attentively as yu can fr thse 25 minutes.

A funny thing abut marketing: A plus is always a plus but a minus is never a minus—even thugh mre prducts are ntable fr what they cut dwn. Budweiser wuldn't call its lwer- calrie beer Bud-. There are fat-free ptat chips and ckies, but Pringles- r Ores- is abandned.
Americans have a fndness fr plus-size prtins, plus-size clthing and media that have plus signs in their names. Mercifully, the plus thing hasn't yet reached mre imprtant aspects f ur lives.

The mucus cats the eyes surface and helps t attach the film t the eye, the water is a natural salty slutin cntaining crucial prteins and minerals, and the il prevents the eye frm drying ut.〞眼泪从泪管中释放出来，在眼睛上形成一层薄膜，由三种成分组成：粘液、水和油脂。粘液覆盖了眼睛外表，有助于将眼膜附着在眼睛上。水是一种天然的含盐溶液，含有重要的蛋白质和矿物质，油可以防止眼睛枯燥，可知，第三段主要讲了眼泪的成分。应选B。
〔2〕考查词义猜想。根据第四段中的“display f emtin, cmes frm the mysterius tendency f crcdiles t release tears as they eat〞可知，鳄鱼进食的时候会流泪，所以“鳄鱼的眼泪〞指的是一个人虚假的情感表达。即画线词意思是“虚假的〞。应选D。

【点评】此题考点涉及细节理解，词义猜想，段落大意和主旨大意四个题型的考查，是一篇科研类阅读，要求考生在捕捉细节信息的根底上，进一步根据上下文的逻辑关系，进行分析，推理，概括和归纳，从而选出正确答案。
3.【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了一种名为“番茄工作法〞的时间管理方法，方法需要设置一个25分钟的计时器，然后尽可能专注地度过这25分钟。这一方法可以提高人的注意力，因而十分有效。

And s the brain naturally enugh shifts its attentin t smething else, like Facebk r Twitter r smething like that.〞但有一个与番茄工作法有关的有趣的小插曲，那就是：当你只是想一些你不太喜欢的东西时，它会刺激大脑中经历疼痛的局部。所以大脑会很自然地将注意力转移到其他东西上，比方Facebk或Twitter之类的，可推知，第三段提到这个小插曲是为了进一步解释番茄工作法。应选A。
〔4〕考查推理判断。根据第二段中的“And just let the thught g by, and return yur fcus t whatever yu are wrking n.〞让这些想法过去吧，把注意力重新集中到你正在做的事情上；倒数第二段中“Dn't even think abut what that smething is. What that des is it slips in under yur brain's radar. It desn't stimulate s much that pain in yur brain; and then that pain in the brain, research has shwn, lasts fr 20 minutes. 〞想都别想那是什么事情。它的作用是在你大脑的雷达下潜入。它不会刺激到你的大脑疼痛；研究说明，大脑的疼痛会持续20分钟；以及最后一段“S if yu wrk fr 25 minutes yu will suddenly find yurself getting int the flw because yu've gne past that painful perid. S the Pmdr technique is effective in many different aspects. 〞所以如果你工作25分钟，你会突然发现自己进入了心流状态，因为你已经度过了那段痛苦的时期。所以番茄工作法在很多方面都很有效，可推知，番茄工作法通过提高你的注意力来起作用。应选A。

The cmpany seeks t keep pace with Apple TV+, ESPN +, Disney +, BET +, AMC + and thers.〞CBS All Access在一封电子邮件中写道：“3月份正发生一些令人兴奋的事情。〞这封邮件提醒用户，流媒体效劳将更名为Paramunt +。该公司试图跟上Apple TV+、ESPN +、迪士尼+、BET +、AMC +等公司的步伐，可知，视频效劳并没有采取这一加号效劳，即this指的是“加号效劳〞。应选C。
〔2〕考查细节理解。根据第四段中的“We just wanted t let yu knw that we are retiring the Hulu Plus name. Frm nw n, we will just be knwn as Hulu. N Plus.〞我们只是想让你知道我们要取消Hulu Plus这个名字。从现在起，我们就叫Hulu吧。没有加号，可知，Hulu不再效仿。应选B。
〔3〕考查推理判断。根据倒数第二段中的“A funny thing abut marketing: A plus is always a plus but a minus is never a minus—even thugh mre prducts are ntable fr what they cut dwn. Budweiser wuldn't call its lwer- calrie beer Bud-.〞市场营销中有一个有趣的现象：“加号〞永远是“加号〞，“减号〞永远不是“减号〞——尽管更多的产品因其削减的产品而引人注目。百威不会把它的低热量啤酒叫做Bud-，可推知，百威不把它的低热量啤酒叫Bud-，是为了防止误解。应选A。
〔4〕考查推理判断。根据最后一段中的“Mercifully, the plus thing hasn't yet reached mre imprtant aspects f ur lives.〞幸运的是，加号这件事还没有影响到我们生活中更重要的方面，可推知，作者对这一趋势持批判态度。应选B。
【点评】此题考点涉及细节理解，代词指代和推理判断三个题型的考查，是一篇社会现象类阅读，考生需要准确捕捉细节信息，并根据上下文的逻辑关系，进行分析，推理，从而选出正确答案。
二、任务型阅读
5.【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了阅读的好处，如何利用空闲时间读书以及一些与阅读有关的研究。

As ne gets lder, it might help slw dwn r even cease cgnitive decline.〞读书可以锻炼你的大脑。更早开始阅读的孩子在某些智力测试中表现得更好，比方对词汇量的分析。随着年龄的增长，它可能有助于减缓甚至停止认知能力的下降；以及空后“Many Americans dn't read frequently.〞许多美国人不经常读书，可知，上文提到了阅读的好处，后文那么说美国人不经常读书，可知本句是在说明美国人的阅读时间正在下降，F选项中Americans对应后文中Americans。F. Despite this, the verall bk-reading time fr Americans is n the decline.“尽管如此，美国人总的阅读时间正在下降〞符合语境，应选F。
〔2〕根据空后“When yu have sme dwn time—yu're waiting fr a friend, sleeping lightly n the way frm r t wrk, r ding a task that desn't require yur full attentin—yu can pen yur text instead f pulling up yur favrite smartphne game.〞当你有空的时候——比方在等朋友的时候，在上下班的路上睡觉的时候，或者在做一件不需要你全神贯注的事情的时候——你可以翻开你的文本而不是翻开你最喜欢的智能 游戏，可知，后文提到了利用空闲时候来阅读，可见本句是在建议随身带上阅读的书籍，E. Keep a bk, e-reader, r audibk app n yu as yu g abut the day.“随身携带一本书、电子阅读器或有声读物应用〞符合语境，应选E。
〔3〕根据空后“While paper is still the clear winner in the curt f public pinin, science hasn't prven that physical bks are better than digital nes.〞虽然纸质书仍然是公众舆论的赢家，但科学还没有证明纸质书比数字书更好，可知，下文提到了纸质书是舆论的赢家，可见本句是在说明这一舆论的内容，后文那么说明舆论的结果，D选项中debate对应后文中public pinin。D. This brings abut a great debate: pages vs screens vs audi.“这带来了一个巨大的争论：纸质书vs屏幕vs音频〞符合语境，应选D。
〔4〕根据空前“Academic research has mstly fcused n the ability t remember. A study tk place in a labratry setting: Students all read the same text, but sme lked at the wrds n paper and thers viewed an n-screen PDF. It turned ut that n meaningful difference between the tw media existed. As fr audibks, they affected the brain gray matter smewhat differently.〞学术研究主要集中在记忆能力上。在实验室环境下进行了一项研究:所有学生都阅读同样的文本，但一些人看的是纸上的文字，另一些人看的是屏幕上的PDF文件。事实证明，这两种媒体之间并不存在任何有意义的区别。至于有声读物，它们对大脑灰质的影响有所不同。可知，上文提到阅读纸上的文字和屏幕上的文字之间并不存在任何有意义的区别，且提到了有声读物对大脑的影响，本句为本段最后一句，应继续说明有声读物对大脑的影响结果是什么。G选项中they指代上文audibks。故G. Hwever, they stimulated the brain just as deeply as black-and-white pages.“然而，它们对大脑的刺激不亚于黑白纸张〞符合语境，应选G。
〔5〕根据空前“Ultimately, if yu hpe t get a reading habit ging, yu shuldn't dismiss paper digital, r audi〞最后，如果你希望养成阅读习惯，你就不应该放弃纸质、数字或音频；以及空后“Dn't be afraid t change things up depending n the ccasin.〞不要害怕根据不同的场合做出改变，可知，上文提到不应该放弃纸质、数字或音频，后文说根据不同场合做出改变，可知本句是在说明应该根据需要来做出选择。B. G with what makes the mst sense fr yur needs.“选择最符合你需要的〞符合语境，应选B。

四、用单词的适当形式完成短文
7.【解析】【分析】本文是一篇新闻报道。在12月初，纽约的哈德逊河上出现了一只座头鲸，让纽约人为之震惊。这头座头鲸游过几个著名的旅游景点，一名记者在那里拍下了这头动物似乎在向自由女神摇尾巴的照片。文章分析了产生这一现象背后的原因以及专家对此的看法。
〔1〕句意：12月初，当一只像校车那么大的生物出现在哈德逊河上时，纽约人都惊呆了。根据上文“New Yrkers were shcked in early December〞可知描述过去发生的事情，应用一般过去时。故填surfaced。
〔2〕句意：在接下来的三天里，这头座头鲸游过几个著名的旅游景点，一名记者在那里拍下了这头动物似乎在向自由女神摇尾巴的照片。humpback whale此处特指上文提到的a creature，应用定冠词。故填the。

〔4〕句意：尽管如此，近年来在更大范围内看到鲸鱼的频率仍在迅速上升。空处作主语，表示“频率〞应用名词frequency，抽象概念，不可数。故填frequency。
〔5〕句意：生物学家布朗说：“随着这些数量的急剧增加，在一些不寻常的地方，包括哈德逊河和斯塔顿岛，看到它们并不奇怪。〞修饰动词increase应用副词sharply，作状语，表示“急剧地〞。故填sharply。
