Tiny sensory hair cells called stereocilia(静纤毛)located in your inner ear are responsible for detecting sound. When these become damaged, either by genetic disorders, loud sounds or old age, it can lead to hearing difficulties and even deafness.
Now, in a series of experiments on mice, researchers based at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies and the University of Sheffield have identified a protein that can be delivered to these hair cells in order to stimulate their growth. “Our discovery shows that hair cell function can be restored in certain cells,” said Dr Uri Manor, assistant research professor and director of the Waitt Advanced Biophotonics Core at Salk.
Stereocilia hair cells are found throughout the cochlea(耳蜗). Regions of the cochlea that sense low frequencies have longer stereocilia, while regions that sense high frequencies have shorter stereocilia. When sounds enter the ear, they cause fluid within the cochlea to vibrate(振动), which in turn causes the stereocilia to move. These hair cells then send signals to neurons(神经元), which pass on information about the sounds that we are hearing to the brain.
In their previous studies, Manor and Prof Walter Marotti found that the protein EPS8 was involved in determining the length of stereocilia. Without the protein, the growth of the hairs is stunted and they remain very short. For this latest study, the two researchers teamed up to design an experiment to see if adding EPS8 to stereocilia hair cells could stimulate their regrowth and improve hearing in mic. They used a common gene therapy(基因治疗)technique to deliver the protein to the hair cells on the back of a virus. They then investigated the effects using imaging techniques.
The team found that EPS8 increased the length of the stereocilia and restored their function in low-frequency cells, although not enough to restore the hearing of the mice. However, they also found that the cells seemed to lose their ability to regenerate as they aged. The researchers now plan to investigate the action of EPS8 further, with the hope of extending the age range over which it is effective.
4. What is the author’s purpose in writing paragraphs 1 and 2?
A. To reveal causes of hearing problems.
B. To show different functions of stereocilia.
C. To prove the necessity of hearing protection.
D. To introduce the finding of a hearing-improving protein.
5. What does the underlined word “stunted” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Guaranteed. B. Prevented. C. Recorded. D. Reflected.
6. What did the researchers use the gene therapy technique to do?
A. Help mice grow faster. B. Keep viruses from growing.
C. Send EPS8 to stereocilia hair cells D. Remove aged stereocilia hair cells.
7. What do the researchers plan to do?
A. Restore the hearing of the mice. B. Make EPS8 effective in aging cells.
C. Investigate the formation of EPS8. D. Count low-frequency cells of aging mice.
【答案】4. D 5. B 6. C 7. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了科学家发现了一种对恢复静纤毛功能的蛋白质。
【4题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段中“Tiny sensory hair cells called stereocilia(静纤毛)located in your inner ear are responsible for detecting sound. When these become damaged, either by genetic disorders, loud sounds or old age, it can lead to hearing difficulties and even deafness.”（位于内耳的被称为静纤毛的微小感觉毛细胞负责探测声音。当这些受损时，无论是由于遗传疾病，过大的声音还是年纪变老，都可能导致听力困难甚至耳聋。）可知，第一段介绍了静纤毛的概念和作用为提出发现做铺垫，根据第二段第一句“Now, in a series of experiments on mice, researchers based at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies and the University of Sheffield have identified a protein that can be delivered to these hair cells in order to stimulate their growth.”（现在，在对老鼠进行的一系列实验中，索尔克生物研究所和谢菲尔德大学的研究人员已经确定了一种蛋白质，可以传递给这些毛细胞，以刺激它们的生长。）可知，第二段介绍了一个新的发现。由此判断，第一、二段介绍了一种能改善听力的蛋白质的研究。故选D。
【5题详解】
词义猜测题。第四段提到“In their previous studies, Manor and Prof Walter Marotti found that the protein EPS8 was involved in determining the length of stereocilia.”（在之前的研究中，马诺和沃尔特·马罗蒂教授发现EPS8蛋白参与决定直立纤毛的长度。）及“. . . they remain very short”（它们仍然很短）由此判断，EPS8决定静纤毛的长度，没有它的话，静纤毛的发育长度也很短，说明EPS8会抑制静纤毛的生长。B项prevent“阻止”符合文意。故选B。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“They used a common gene therapy(基因治疗)technique to de-liver the protein to the hair cells on the back of a virus. They then investigated the effects using imaging techniques.”（他们使用了一种常见的基因治疗技术，将蛋白质传递到病毒背后的毛细胞中。然后，他们用成像技术研究了这些影响。）由此判断，该项基因治疗是可以可以将EPS8传递到静纤毛毛发细胞中的。故选C。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。第五段提到“The researchers now plan to investigate the action of EPS8 further, with the hope of extending the age range over which it is effective.”（研究人员现在计划进一步研究EPS8的作用，希望能扩大其有效的年龄范围。）由此判断，研究人员希望能够扩大EPS8的的年龄使用范围，使其对衰老的细胞也有效果。故选B。
C
Over millions of years humans have responded to certain situations without thinking too hard. If our ancestors spotted movement in the nearby forest, they would run first and question later. At the same time, the ability to analyze and to plan is part of what separates us from other animals. The question of when to trust your instinct (直觉) and when to think slow matters in the office as much as in the savannah (草原).
Slow thinking is the feature of a well-managed workplace. Yet instinct also has its place. Some decisions are more connected to emotional responses and less to analysis. In demanding customer-service or public-facing situations, instinct is often a better guide to how to behave.
Instinct can also be improved. Plenty of research has shown that instinct becomes more unerring with experience. In one well-known experiment, volunteers were asked to assess whether a selection of designer handbags were real or not. Some were instructed to operate on instinct and others to deliberate (深思熟虑) over their decision. Instinct worked better for those who owned at least three designer handbags; indeed, it outperformed analysis. The more expert you become, the better your instinct tends to be.
However, the real reason to embrace fast thinking is that it is, well, fast. It is often the only way to get through the day. To take one example, when your inbox floods with new emails at the start of a new day, there is absolutely no way to read them all carefully. Instinct is what helps you decide which ones to answer and which to delete or leave unopened. Fast thinking can also help the entire organization. The value of many managerial decisions lies in the simple fact that they have been made at all. Yet as data explodes, the temptation to ask for one more bit of analysis has become much harder to resist. Managers often suffer from overthinking, turning a simple problem into a complex one.
When to use instinct in the workplace rests on its own form of pattern recognition. Does the decision maker have real expertise in this area? Is this a field in which emotion matters more than reasoning? Above all, is it worth delaying the decision? Slow thinking is needed to get the big calls right. But fast thinking is the way to stop deliberation turning to a waste of time.
8. What does the underlined word “unerring” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. accurate B. creative C. controllable D. obvious
9. How is the third paragraph mainly developed?
A. By process. B. By comparison. C. By example. D. By classification.
10. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Managers can afford the cost of slow thinking. B. Fast thinking can be a boost to work efficiency.
C. Slow thinking will hold us back in the long run. D. Too much data is to blame for wrong decisions.
11. What is the author’s purpose of writing the passage?
A. To explain how instinct works in the office.
B. To tell the difference between instinct and slow thinking.
C. To highlight the value of instinct in the workplace.
D. To illustrate the development of different thinking patterns.
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. B 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要论述了直觉在工作场所的应用价值。
【8题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“Instinct can also be improved. (直觉也是可以提高的)”及最后一句“The more expert you become, the better your instinct tends to be. (你变得越熟练，直觉越准确)”可知，大量研究表明, 随着经验的增长，直觉变得更加准确。故“unerring”应意为“无偏差的，精确的”。故选A。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Instinct can also be improved. Plenty of research has shown that instinct becomes more unerring with experience. In one well-known experiment, volunteers were asked to assess whether a selection of designer handbags were real or not. Some were instructed to operate on instinct and others to deliberate (深思熟虑) over their decision. Instinct worked better for those who owned at least three designer handbags; indeed, it outperformed analysis. The more expert you become, the better your instinct tends to be. (直觉也是可以提高的。大量研究表明，随着经验的增加，直觉变得更加准确无误。在一个著名的实验中，志愿者被要求评估一组名牌手袋的真伪。一些人被要求凭直觉行事，另一些人则被要求经过深思熟虑。对于那些拥有至少三个名牌手袋的人来说，本能反应效果更好；事实上，它的表现优于分析。你越专业，你的直觉就越准)”可知，本段主要通过实例展开。故选C。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“Instinct is what helps you decide which ones to answer and which to delete or leave unopened. Fast thinking can also help the entire organization. (直觉能够帮助你决定哪些邮件需要回复，哪些需要删除，哪些不用打开。快速思考也对整个组织有益)”可知，快速思考可以提高工作效率，避免在不重要的事情上浪费时间。故选B。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“The question of when to trust your instinct (直觉) and when to think slow matters in the office as much as in the savannah (草原). (什么时候应该相信你的直觉及什么时候应该缓慢思考的问题在办公室和在大草原上一样重要)”以及最后一段“When to use instinct in the workplace rests on its own form of pattern recognition. (什么时候在工作场所使用直觉取决于其自身的识别模式)”可知，要具体分析在工作场所使用直觉的情况；再联系全文内容可知，本文主要强调了直觉在工作场所的应用价值。故选C。
D
The elderly residents (居民) in care homes in London are being given hens to look after to stop them feeling lonely.
The project was dreamed up by a local charity (慈善组织) to reduce loneliness and improve elderly people’s wellbeing. It is also being used to help patients suffering dementia, a serious illness of the mind. Staff in care homes have reported a reduction in the use of medicine where hens are in use.
Among those taking part in the project is 80-year-old Ruth Xavier. She said: “I used to keep hens when I was younger and had to prepare their breakfast each morning before I went to school.
“I like the project a lot. I am down there in my wheelchair in the morning letting the hens out and down there again at night to see they’ve gone to bed.
“It’s good to have a different focus. People have been bringing their children in to see the hens and residents come and sit outside to watch them. I’m enjoying the creative activities, and it feels great to have done something useful.”
There are now 700 elderly people looking after hens in 20 care homes in the North East, and the charity has been given financial support to roll it out countrywide.
Wendy Wilson, extra care manager at 60 Penfold Street, one of the first to embark on the project, said: “Residents really welcome the idea of the project and the creative sessions. We are looking forward to the benefits and fun the project can bring to people here.”
Lynn Lewis, director of Notting Hill Pathways, said: “We are happy to be taking part in the project. It will really help connect our residents through a shared interest and creative activities.
12. What is the purpose of the project?
A. To promote the elderly people’s wellbeing. B. To provide part-time jobs for the aged.
C. To raise money for medical research. D. To ensure harmony in care homes.
13. How has the project affected Ruth Xavier?
A. She has learned new life skills. B. She has gained a sense of achievement.
C. She has recovered her memory. D. She has developed a strong personality.
14. What do the underlined words “embark on” mean in paragraph 7?
A. Improve. B. Oppose. C. Begin. D. Evaluate.
15. What can we learn about the project from the last two paragraphs?
A. It takes ages to see the results B. It needs to be more creative.
C. It is highly profitable. D. It is well received
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了旨在减少孤独，改善老年人的健康状况的项目。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The project was dreamed up by a local charity (慈善组织) to reduce loneliness and improve elderly people’s wellbeing. (该项目由当地一家慈善机构构想，旨在减少孤独，改善老年人的健康状况)”可知，这个项目的目的是为了减少孤独和提高老年人的幸福感。故选A。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段““It’s good to have a different focus. People have been bringing their children in to see the hens and residents come and sit outside to watch them. I’m enjoying the creative activities, and it feels great to have done something useful.” (有不同的关注点很好。人们把自己的孩子带进来看母鸡，居民们也来外面坐着看它们。我喜欢创造性的活动，做一些有用的事情的感觉很好)”可知，Ruth Xavier很享受做这些事，她觉得自己在做有用的事，这能够给她来良好的感觉，因此可知通过该项目她获得了一种成就感。故选B项。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据倒数第二段“Wendy Wilson, extra care manager at 60 Penfold Street, one of the first to embark on the project, said: “Residents really welcome the idea of the project and the creative sessions. We are looking forward to the benefits and fun the project can bring to people here.” (彭福街60号的额外护理经理Wendy Wilson是第一批embark on该项目的人之一，她说：“居民们非常欢迎该项目的想法和创意会议。我们期待这个项目能给这里的人们带来好处和乐趣。”)”可知，Wendy Wilson是着手这项工程的人之一，也是做这个项目的创始人之一，因此可知，画线处embark on意为“开始着手做某事”，与C项“Begin (开始)”含义相近。故选C项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Residents really welcome the idea of the project and the creative sessions. We are looking forward to the benefits and fun the project can bring to people here. (居民们非常欢迎该项目的想法和创意会议。我们期待这个项目能给这里的人们带来好处和乐趣)”以及最后一段“Lynn Lewis, director of Notting Hill Pathways, said: “We are happy to be taking part in the project.

I’m worried that you’ve been addicted to share pictures in WeChat circle recently. You even share all sorts of photo in your daily life. Of course, WeChat makes better to understand each other and makes our life more colorful, which is very convenient for us to communicate with. However, there exists some potential problems if we overshare. One severe problem is leaking privacy, that may cause economic losses. Besides, oversharing can make others uncomfortably, for they think you are showing off.
Thus, neither should we post our personal information, or should we blindly add strangers to a list of friends. It’s much wise to set aside some time to accompany parents or do something more meaningful, such as reading books or taking exercise.
【答案】1.share→sharing
2.photo→photos
3.在makes和better之间加上it
4.去掉communicate后面的with
5.exist→exists
6.that→which
7.uncomfortably→uncomfortable
8.or →nor
9.a→the
10.wise→wiser
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章说明了微信朋友圈过度分享可能存在的问题，以及对此提出的建议。
【详解】1.考查固定短语。句意：我担心你最近沉迷于微信圈子里的分享图片。固定短语be addicted to doing sth.“沉迷于做某事”，故share改为sharing。
2.考查名词的数。句意：你甚至在日常生活中分享各种照片。photo为可数名词，由all sorts of修饰故用复数形式。故photo改为photos。
3.考查it作形式宾语。句意：当然，微信让我们更好的互相理解，让我们的生活更加丰富多彩，这对于我们交流是非常方便的。make后跟it作形式宾语，指代后文不定式真正宾语，故在makes和better之间加上it。
4.考查动词。句意：当然，微信让我们更好的互相理解，让我们的生活更加丰富多彩，这对于我们交流是非常方便的。此处communicate后没有宾语，故不需要介词。故去掉communicate后面的with。
5.考查主谓一致。句意：然而，如果我们过度分享，就会出现一些潜在的问题。本句主语为trouble单数名词，故谓语动词需要用单数形式，且为一般现在时，故exist改为exists。
6.考查定语从句。句意：一个严重的问题是泄露隐私，这可能会造成经济损失。本句为非限定性定语从句修饰上文整个句子，且从句中缺少主语，故用which。故that改为which。
7.考查形容词。句意：此外，过度分享会让别人不舒服，因为他们认为你在炫耀。短语make sb.+形容词表示“使某人怎么样”，应用形容词作宾语补足语。故uncomfortably改为uncomfortable。
8.考查固定短语。句意：因此，我们既不应该发布我们的个人信息，也不应该盲目地将陌生人添加到朋友列表中。固定短语neither...nor...“既不……也不……”，故or改为nor。
9.考查冠词。句意：因此，我们既不应该发布我们的个人信息，也不应该盲目地将陌生人添加到朋友列表中。此处特指自己的“朋友列表”故应用定冠词，故a改为the。
10.考查比较级。句意：留出一些时间陪伴父母或做一些更有意义的事情是更明智的，比如读书或锻炼。根据句意以及上文much修饰形容词比较级wiser，表示“更明智”，故wise改为wiser。

【答案】How I Got Through My Hard Time
As a famous saying goes, “Life is not a bed of roses.” We will inevitably get caught in hardship in our life. And I am no exception.
As far as I remembered, there was a time when I had a hard time in learning physics, which depressed me for quite a while. Instead of giving it up, I refreshed myself and struggled to find a way out. To start with, I adjusted myself to living with the problem, and then more time and energy were devoted to repeatedly thinking and doing exercises. In addition, I tried to seek help from my teacher and classmates. Last but not least, I poured out my problem to my parents, from whom I got emotional support.
Eventually, all my efforts paid off and I made great progress in my physics. Facing adversity positively, we will be rewarded.
