The wrld’s insects are ging dwn the path f extinctin,threatening a “catastrphic cllapse f nature’s ecsystems”,accrding t the first glbal scientific review.Mre than 40%f insect species are declining and a third are endangered,the analysis fund.The rate f extinctin is eight times faster than that f mammals,birds and reptiles.
“It shuld be f huge cncern t all f us,fr insects are at the heart f every fd web.They pllinate(授粉) the large majrity f plant species,keep the sil healthy,recycle nutrients,cntrl pests,and much mre.Lve them r lathe them,we humans cannt survive withut insects,”said Prf Dave Gulsn at the University f Sussex in the UK.
The analysis,published in the jurnal Bilgical Cnservatin,says intensive(集约型)agriculture is the main driver f the declines,particularly the heavy use f pesticides.Urbanisatin and climate change are als significant factrs.
“If insect species lsses cannt be stpped,this will have catastrphic cnsequences fr bth the planet’s ecsystems and fr the survival f mankind.It is very rapid.In 10 years yu will have a quarter less,in 50 years nly half left and in 100 years yu will have nne,” said review authr Francisc Sánchez-Bay,at the University f Sydney,Australia.
One f the biggest impacts f insect lss is n many birds,reptiles,amphibians and fish that eat insects.“If this fd surce is taken away,all these animals starve t death,” he said.Such effects have already been seen in Puert Ric,where a recent study revealed a 98% fall in grund insects ver 35 years.

Studies have shwn mst peple fail t realize hw much time they spend n their smart phnes each day.
Frank and Amelia’s family were put t a test,using a free app called “Mment-screen Time Tracker”.The Vascellars—Frank,Amelia,14-year-ld twins Frankie and Je,and 17-year-ld Sam—all said they did nt really knw they were spending s much time n their phnes each day.
“Hnestly,I dn’t feel like I’m n my phne a lt,” Amelia Vascellar said.Amelia was n her phne far less ften than Frank,accrding t the app.While Amelia spent abut an hur per day n the phne,Frank spent clse t fur hurs n his phne—which came as a shck t him.The children’s times varied but they ften spent mre than a cuple f hurs n the phne as well.
Minneaplis-based Dr Kirsten Lind Seal sees phne usage cme up a lt amng families.Lind Seal said many family members’ phne use has becme prblematic.
“If we hear mre than nce,‘D yu have t be n yur phne right nw?Can yu please put yur phne dwn?Did yu hear what I said?’ it may be a sign that it is negatively influencing ur family relatinships and ur daily lives,” she said.
Lind Seal said actually paying attentin t hw much time ne spends n the phne is a gd first step in deciding when t put it dwn.
She asks parents t encurage mre face-t-face cmmunicatin fr teens and yung adults as they cntinue develping their scial and emtinal skills.“What we find is that we are really lsing ut n empathy—the ability t understand ther peple’s feelings and prblems——when we spend a lt f time n ur smart phnes t cmmunicate with ther peple,”she said.
【语篇解读】本文是议论文。通过使用一款应用软件跟踪发现,很多人没有意识到自己每天花费很多时间使用手机。文章建议人们放下手机,应该进行更多的面对面的交流。
32.Hw did the families tested by the app feel abut the test results?

C.Uninterested.D.Astnished.
答案D
解析推理判断题。根据第二段中“all said they did nt really knw they were spending s much time n their phnes each day.”可知,Vascellar一家对这个测试结果感到惊讶,他们没有想到自己每天花费那么多的时间使用手机。

A.T encurage peple t live a simple life.
B.T explain the signs f prblematic phne use.
C.T shw the imprtance f clse relatinships.

35.Where is this text mst likely frm?

答案D
解析推理判断题。通读全文,本文从一项研究入手,讲述人们对手机的依赖,最后建议人们应该进行更多的面对面的交流,故此篇文章最有可能来自杂志。

答案与解析
【语篇解读】未来学家们正在对我们的未来生活做很多预测,他们预测未来30年我们将如何旅行、工作和生活。
36.E 根据上文提到的“未来学家们正在对我们的未来生活做很多预测”可知,E项“他们预测未来30年我们将如何旅行、工作和生活”可承接上文。
37.B 根据上文的“will be able t ‘talk’ t the heating needs t be turned n”可知,B项是上文的结果。
38.D 根据下文的“there will be a need fr new kinds f elevatrs...”可知,D项可作为过渡,引出下文。
39.C 根据下文的“their windws”可知,上文应该提到高楼,所以选C项。D项虽提到“the wrld’s tallest buildings”,但是和下文无法衔接。
40.F 本段提到“a Lndn Spaceprt”,F项和上文构成因果关系,而且Spaceprt为同词复现。

答案与解析
【语篇解读】你对科学感兴趣吗?你觉得自我修复技术怎么样?
56.when 考查关系副词。设空处引导定语从句,修饰先行词mment且在从句中作时间状语,故填when。
57.surprising 考查形容词。设空处作表语,说明主语The ability f nn-human things t repair themselves的特征,故填surprising。
58.impressin 考查名词。leave a deep impressin n...意为“给……留下深刻印象”。
59.an 考查冠词。take an interest in...意为“对……感兴趣”。
60.be used 考查被动语态。material与use之间是被动关系,且设空处前有情态动词culd,故填be used。
61.yur 考查代词。设空处在此作定语,意为“你的”, 故填yur。
62.t repair 考查固定结构。be able t d sth意为“能够做某事”。
63.t 考查介词。lead t 意为“导致,造成”。
64.asked 考查非谓语动词。ask与Prfessr Wass之间是逻辑上的动宾关系,又因ask表示的动作先于谓语动作发生,故填asked。
65.generally 考查副词。设空处修饰谓语动词are,故填副词generally(一般)。

When I was ten years ld,I lived with my family in a small huse in rural Suth Jersey.I ften accmpanied my mther t the A&P t buy grceries.Withut a car,we walked,and I wuld help her carry the bags.
My mther had t shp everything carefully,as she was a waitress,and her salary barely sustained(勉强维持) us.One day,while she was weighing prices,a prmtinal display fr the Wrld Bk Encyclpedia caught my eye.The vlumes were beautifully cream-clured.VlumeⅠ was ninety-nine cents with a ten-dllar purchase.
All I culd think f while shpping was the bk.I std at the register with my mther,hlding my breath as the cashier rang up the items.It came t ver eleven dllars.My mther prduced a five,sme singles,and a handful f change.As she was cunting ut the mney,I smehw fund the curage t ask fr the encyclpedia(百科全书).“Culd we get ne?”I said,shwing her the display.“It’s nly ninety-nine cents.”
I did nt understand my mther’s increasing anxiety; she did nt have enugh change and had t sacrifice a large can f peas t pay the amunt,“Nt nw,Patricia,” she said sternly(严厉地).“Tday is nt a gd day.”I packed the grceries and fllwed her hme,upset.
The next Saturday,my mther gave me a dllar and sent me t the A&P alne.Tw quarts f milk and a laf f bread—that’s what a dllar in 1957.I went straight t the Wrld Bk display.There was nly ne first vlume left,which I placed in my cart(购物车).I didn’t need a cart,but tk ne s I culd read as I went up and dwn the aisles.A lt f time went by and I knew I had t leave,but I culdn’t bear t part with the bk.With n detective in sight,I,impulsively(冲动地),put it inside my shirt and zipped up my jacket.I was a tall,skinny kid,and I am certain the shape f the bk was bvius.
Paragraph 1:
My heart beating rapidly,I headed fr the register.










Paragraph 2:
Back hme,I tld my mther what I had prmised the detective.

Paragraph 1:
My heart beating rapidly,I headed fr the register.I paid the dllar fr the three items and was abut t leave when I felt a heavy tap n my shulder.It was a big detective.“Yu stle smething.Yu will be searched,” he annunced.Hrrified,I slid the bk ut frm inside the shirt and handed it ver.“An encyclpedia?” he asked,smewhat surprised.“Yes,” I whispered,trembling.“Why didn’t yu ask yur parents t purchase it?” “I did,but they didn’t have the mney.” With a sigh,he made me prmise t tell my parents abut my wrngding and then let me leave.
Paragraph 2:
Back hme,I tld my mther what I had prmised the detective.Unexpectedly,she didn’t explde as usual.She fell silent,lking extremely anxius.Cnsumed with guilt,I gathered my curage,aplgized and prmised that it wuld never ever happen again.“All will be OK!” said my mther,wrapping me in her arms.Then she tld me that she wuld g t the A&P t tell the detective I had admitted and that I shuld play utside.Hurs later,when I was back hme,I nticed a bag with my name n it.I pened it and packed inside was the Wrld Bk Encyclpedia,Vlume Ⅰ.
