March 14 is Pi (π) Day, the yearly celebration of a never-ending number—π (3.14159...). The tradition began on March 14, 1988, when a scientist, called Larry Shaw, connected March 14 (3.14) with the number of (3.14159...) and asked his teammates to mark the day by eating pies. Later, more and more people began to celebrate Pi Day each year, and in 2009 the US lawmakers announced Pi Day an official holiday. Pi Day has been noticed in different ways by different groups of people in America.

Restaurants celebrate Pi Day with special selling of pies. Blaze Pizza has continued its tradition by offering a kind of pizza for just $3.14. Blaze Pizza’s boss Jim Mizes said. “We guessed that we would serve as many as a quarter-million pizzas at $3.14 and even more on Pi Day of this year. We think Blaze fans across the US and Canada would come in to celebrate with us.”

Some women scientists also celebrate Pi Day. Since 2015, to encourage more girls to work on science, technology, engineering and mathematics, some women scientists have been wearing purple on Pi Day. They also ask women of all ages and backgrounds to join them by wearing the same color on March 13-14.

NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory will join in the fun with their yearly “Pi in the Sky” challenge. The fun activities are designed to encourage students from 5th to 12th grade to help NASA scientists solve real-world problems using π. Each year, many students take the “Pi in the Sky” challenge to help NASA scientists with their scientific research, which greatly benefits students in their future study.

Though Pi Day celebrations are rather new, π has been around for thousands of years. 4,000 years ago, Babylonians calculated (计算) the area of a circle, giving n a value of 3. The ancient Egyptians came closer to the real number with 3.165 in 1650 BC． Archimedes of Syracuse (287-212 BC) was the first to calculate it mathematically. The Greek scientist gave his number between 3+(1/7) and 3+(10/70), which is much closer to “3.14159...”.

47．What can we learn about Pi Day from Paragraph 1?

A．Larry started the tradition of making pies.

B．The American scientists made it official.

C．It has become popular across the world.

D．The date came from the number of π.

48．How does Jim Mizes feel for the pie sale on Pi Day this year?

A．Doubtful. B．Hopeful. C．Upset. D．Surprised.

49．Why do women scientists wear purple on Pi Day?

A．To make women get more respect.

B．To help women look more pretty.

C．To encourage girls to work like them.

D．To inspire women of all ages.

50．What does the underlined word “benefits” in Paragraph 4 most probably mean?

A．Builds up. B．Does good to. C．Brings out. D．Let down.

51．What does the writer mainly introduce about Pi Day?

If you ever run into Brad Pitt, chances are he won’t recognize（识别）you the second time around. That’s because the famous actor has face blindness（脸盲症）.

Face blindness, is the inability to recognize or remember faces, including one’s own. It can cause problems in relationships and in the workplace. Some people with face blindness also have difficulty recognizing animals and telling the differences between objects, such as cars. Others have a much harder time and experience nervousness, depression and fear of social situations.

There are two main kinds of face blindness. Acquired face blindness is caused by brain damage（损伤）. Harm to the right side of the brain is more likely to influence your ability to recognize faces you used to know. It is lesser-known and may take a turn for the better. The other main kind of face blindness is born with or developmental, which is much more common. Although it was considered hard-to-find before, scientists now estimate（估计）as much as 2.5 percent of Americans may be developing it. The cause of developmental face blindness is still unknown, but it does appear to run in families. A person with the second kind of face blindness never fully develops the ability to recognize faces.

Adults with face blindness may not realize that other people can recognize and remember faces. They may think they are the “normal” ones. However, a person who develops face blindness following a damage may notice the loss of the ability right away. Children with the illness may have trouble making friends, since they can’t easily recognize others. They usually befriend people with easily recognizable features（特征）. They may also find it difficult to tell family members apart according to sight or tell the differences between characters in movies.

At present, there is no treatment for face blindness. However, there are training programs to help these people, such as focusing on the voice, hairstyle and clothing. It may help to make a list of features in mind, such as tall, brown hair, blue eyes, and remember them rather than trying to recall the face. Sometimes it’s the easiest to simply let people know that you have trouble with faces.

52．From Paragraphs 1&2, what problem might people with face blindness have?

A．Getting lost very often. B．Keeping a pet.

C．Having bad relationships. D．Remembering car numbers.

53．According to Paragraph 3, which is true about the two main kinds of face blindness?

A．The number of acquired face blindness is bigger.

B．The cause of developmental face blindness is known.

C．If Paul is born with face blindness, his family may have it.

D．Neither of the two kinds has chances to get better.

54．Who will most probably become Laura’s friend if she develops face blindness?

A．Sarah who is the shortest at school. B．Billy who has a cute sister.

C．Angela who has a beautiful face. D．Jeff who is strong in music.

55．According to the passage, what can we learn about the people with face blindness?

A．They are seen as “normal” as others.

B．Certain trainings could help them.

C．They can’t use the right side of the brain.

D．25 out of 100 Americans develop it.

56．Which of the following way is not used by the writer to introduce face blindness?

A．Giving facts. B．Telling stories.

C．Explaining new words. D．Comparing differences.

第七节  在本节中，你将读到一篇短文。根据所读内容在短文后表格中的空格处填入一个

恰当的词，并将答案写在答题卡上对应处。每空一词。

Many people dream of traveling into outer space. However, spending too much time in space may cause health problems. That’s why astronauts shouldn’t spend more than six months on the International Space Station (ISS) at a time.

Muscle(肌肉) and bone loss

In a weightless environment, astronauts don’t need to use their muscles to hold themselves up, so their muscles start shrinking(萎缩). To keep their muscles strong, astronauts need to exercise about 2 hours each day on the ISS.

Sleep disorder

In space, the sun rises every 90 minutes. It’s difficult for astronauts to get used to this light-dark cycle when they sleep. Also, they need to sleep in a sleeping bag that is fixed to a wall, and it makes them not comfortable. Astronauts now have individual sleeping pods(分离仓) that help shut out some of the light. Studies still have found that most astronauts only sleep about six hours each night, even though they should have eight and a half hours.

Brain changes

Scientists have found that the position of the brain changes during spaceflight. It can affect how the brain deal with how we see, stay balanced and move around. That’s why some astronauts can’t control their movement and balance after returning to the Earth. Scientists have also found that astronauts may get used to this change after going on more spaceflights. But they still need to do more research.
