B
As a child, I never considered myself an athlete at all as I was very uncoordinated (不协调的). However, I did love to run because I felt as if I was flying but this all changed two years ago when I suffered a knee injury. I was bedridden for two weeks and I had a difficult time moving even short distances. I literally cried myself on my way to the car for a few days.
When therapy wasn’t working well for me, I signed up for a hot yoga class for girls, Bikram Yoga to be exact. Starting a yoga practice was truly a godsend because it helped me gain strength in my knees but, most importantly, yoga helped me attain a more peaceful state of mind, body and spirit.
Since each class was heated to 105°F, every time I stepped foot in the yoga studio, I’d feel a surge (涌起) of negative thoughts come upon me like a big ocean wave. Some of these thoughts were, in the beginning of my practice, so strong that I walked out of the class several times. However, as the months passed by, I noticed that when I didn’t get swayed away by my negative thoughts, I could stay in the hot room for longer.
After 3-4 months of practicing hot yoga, my arms and legs were beginning to get definition. I also woke up with so much more energy than I had before starting my yoga practice and I gradually started shedding the pounds from my body. Yoga literally made me feel as if I’d taken a shot of energy drink and just gave me that burst that helped my knees heal and made my overall health better.
As I saw some of my classmates do poses that looked appealing to me, I started to think maybe I could do them too. Therefore, yoga helped show me that I have no real limitations physically unless I set those limitations myself through eating junk and thinking in negative limiting terms.
Also, practicing yoga in front of a mirror helped me connect with myself and practicing with a group of people really helped me to feel a greater sense of connection with humanity whereas before I didn’t. Overall, this yoga practice has helped me to see I’m part of a bigger picture in life!
41. What once depressed the author terribly?

42. What was the effect of yoga classes on the author’s mind?

B. She felt limited but hopeful.
C. She became mentally stronger.
D. She accepted herself as she was.

B. She couldn’t bear the pain the knee injury brought.
C. She was greatly influenced by negative thoughts.
D. Lack of confidence prevented the author doing yoga.

Like many people, in terms of socializing, I prioritize making time for my closest friends and family. When it comes to reaching out to people I don’t know as well I often find myself reluctant to engage. This could be a big mistake, though, according to a new study. Having different types of social interactions seems to be central to our happiness — something many of us may think little of.
In a series of surveys, researchers looked at how having a socially diverse network related to people’s well-being. In one survey, 578 Americans reported on what activities they had been engaged in, with whom and for how long over the past 24 hours, while also saying how happy with life they were. The researchers found that people with more diverse social networks were happier and more satisfied with life than those with less diverse networks — regardless of how much time they had spent socializing overall.
“The more you can broaden your social circle and reach out to people you talk to less frequently — like an acquaintance, a friend, a coworker, or even a stranger — the more it could have positive benefits for your well-being,” said the lead researcher Hanne Collins of Harvard Business School.
To further test this idea, she and her colleagues looked at large data sets from the American Time Use Survey and the World Health Organization’s Study on Global Aging and Adult Health. In both cases, they found that when people had a broader range of social interactions, they experienced greater happiness and well-being.
Then Collins and her colleagues did another analysis, using data from a mobile app that 21,644 French-speaking people used to report on their daily social activities and happiness. There, they found that when someone experienced greater-than-average social diversity one week, they were happier that week and the week after.
Why is that? It could be that being with different people contributes to different kinds of emotions, which may be a driving force in our happiness, says Collins. Alternatively, it could be that having a more diverse network allows you to get various social supports when you need it. Whatever the case, Collins hopes her research will inspire people to expand their social networks when they can.
46. What does the author use as an introduction to the passage?
A. A personal communication skill.
B. A social trend against one’s will.
C. A common social phenomenon.
D. A culture many people neglect.
47. What do we know about the study?
A. Its results were different from culture to culture.
B. Different results were obtained from the researchers’ three surveys.
C. The researchers collected large amounts of data from different platforms.
D. It focused on the impact of a more diverse social network on life satisfaction.
48. What can we learn from the 3rd and 4th paragraph?
A. Any stranger or co-worker can bring you happiness.
B. Broad social circle contributes to more happiness.
C. Happiness depends only on social interactions.
D. Close relationship influences happiness badly.
49. How may social diversity improve one’s well-being according to Collins?
A. By providing motivation for life.
B. By leading to one’s balanced life.
C. By arousing one’s positive emotions.
D. By making him / her sensitive to happiness.
50. What will be most probably talked about after the last paragraph?
A. Collins’s social life.
B. Collins’s conclusions.
C. Collins’s new research.
D. Collins’s specific suggestions.
【答案】46. C 47. D 48. B 49. C 50. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了研究者发现拥有多样化社交网络的人拥有更强的幸福感。
【46题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Like many people, in terms of socializing, I prioritize making time for my closest friends and family. When it comes to reaching out to people I don’t know as well I often find myself reluctant to engage. This could be a big mistake, though, according to a new study. Having different types of social interactions seems to be central to our happiness — something many of us may think little of.”（像许多人一样，在社交方面，我优先考虑为我最亲密的朋友和家人腾出时间。当涉及到接触我不太了解的人时，我经常发现自己不愿意参与。然而，根据一项新的研究，这可能是一个很大的错误。拥有不同类型的社会互动似乎是我们幸福的核心——这是我们许多人可能很少想到的。）可知，作者用“人们优先考虑为最亲密的朋友和家人腾出时间”这一个普遍的社会现象来作为文章的引言，引出“不同类型的社会互动似乎是我们幸福的核心”这一观点。故选C项。
【47题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“In a series of surveys, researchers looked at how having a socially diverse network related to people’s well-being.”（在一系列的调查中，研究人员观察了拥有一个社会多样化的社交网络是如何与人们的幸福感产生关系的。）可知，这个研究关注的是多样化的社交网络对幸福感的影响，幸福感与生活满意相关。故选D项。
【48题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“‘The more you can broaden your social circle and reach out to people you talk to less frequently — like an acquaintance, a friend, a coworker, or even a stranger — the more it could have positive benefits for your well-being,’ said the lead researcher Hanne Collins of Harvard Business School.”（哈佛大学的首席研究员汉娜·柯林斯说：“你越能拓宽自己的社交圈就越能接触到那些你不太经常交谈的人——比如熟人、朋友、同事、甚至是陌生人——它对你的幸福就越有积极的好处，”）和第四段“In both cases, they found that when people had a broader range of social interactions, they experienced greater happiness and well-being.”（在这两种情况下，他们发现当人们有更广泛的社会互动他们会体验到更大的幸福感和幸福。）可知，这两段都是为了说明拥有更广泛社交圈子有助于拥有更多幸福。故选B项。
【49题详解】
推理判断题。根据第六段“It could be that being with different people contributes to different kinds of emotions, which may be a driving force in our happiness, says Collins.”（可能和不同的人在一起会导致不同的情绪，这可能是我们幸福的驱动力，柯林斯说。）可知，社交多样性会使人产生不同的情绪，而不同的情绪会成为幸福的驱动力。C项中“积极的情绪”也是社交多样性产生的情绪之一，也可以说社交多样性是通过引起人们的积极情绪来提高人的幸福感。故选C项。
【50题详解】
推理判断题。根据第六段“Whatever the case, Collins hopes her research will inspire people to expand their social networks when they can.”（无论在怎样的事例中，柯林斯希望她的研究能激励人们尽可能扩大自己的社交网络。）可知，柯林斯希望人们扩大自己的社交网络，由此推断接下来作者可能会就如何扩大社交网络给出一些特别的建议。故选D项。
D
Some people say that the planet is getting smaller, that there are few places left to explore, and that the age of exploration will be over soon.
I would argue instead that there has never been a greater need to explore. That’s because the stage for all exploration is the natural world, and nature is experiencing a rapid decline. It is by exploring that we understand and when we understand we develop an appreciation for what is found. Ultimately, only the things we appreciate are worth protecting.
As the golden age of exploration weakens, so does the richness of life on Earth. It isn’t just that there are fewer blank areas on the map; it is that wild places and spaces have been progressively carved up (瓜分). Visiting the Okavango Delta or Kalahari Desert, for example, no longer implies a self-supported expedition ( 考 察 ). Field stations pop up in important national parks and remote sensing by satellite becomes commonplace.
In the next century, I believe we will need larger and wilder areas. We will need the wilderness, not just for the protection of it, but because it is an important part of the ecosystems from which we gain our necessities like clean water, food and materials. If we succeed, then expeditions — brief travels into the wild that seek to answer questions, monitor populations, and inspire action — will have a renewed sense of purpose. More importantly, they greatly help the public experience, understand and appreciate nature.
Based on my own research expedition which aims to understand “edge effects”— how the changes in temperature at forest edges impact animals, I find it important that today’s scientists continue to spend time in the field. It is here that they begin to understand how seemingly unrelated environmental interactions influence their study system. Sometimes, it’s difficult to know which is important to measure until you stand out there on the forest edge.
It is the young generation that is the main force to lead the next wave of expeditions. The measure of their success will be whether there are still well-preserved wild places for expeditions in the future. Their leadership is needed now, more than ever.
51. What’s the purpose of this text?
A. To suggest understanding nature by keeping exploring.
B. To advise people not to travel to unknown places.
C. To inform us about the reduced biodiversity.
D. To call on the public to support the study.
52. What can we know about the expedition in wild spaces from Paragraph 3?
A. It is difficult for explorers to make progress.
B. It is more accessible with the help of technology.
C. It promotes the development of satellite technology.
D. It requires explorers to take sufficient heavy equipment.
53. What does the underlined part “pop up” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Appear unexpectedly.
B. Close temporarily.
C. Develop quickly.
D. Differ greatly.
54. What does the author realize after his research expedition?
A. The significance of scientists’ field trip.
B. The difficulty of carrying out fieldwork.
C. The need to expand the edges of forests.
D. The influence of his study on the environment.
55. The success of future expeditions will be determined by________.
A. our knowledge of nature
B. the time spent in the field
C. the preservation of wild places
D. the study system of young generations
【答案】51. A 52. B 53. A 54. A 55. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了科学家实地探索来理解自然的重要性。通过探索，人们才能理解并欣赏值得保护的东西。
【51题详解】
推理判断题。文章第二段讲到“It is by exploring that we understand and when we understand we develop an appreciation for what is found. Ultimately, only the things we appreciate are worth protecting. (正是通过探索，我们才能理解，当我们理解时，我们才能对所发现的东西产生欣赏。最终，只有我们欣赏的东西才值得保护)”可知本文的目的是建议通过不断探索来理解自然，故选A。
【52题详解】
推理判断题。文章第三段讲到“Field stations pop up in important national parks and remote sensing by satellite becomes commonplace.(在重要的国家公园里出现了野外观测站，卫星遥感变得司空见惯。)”可知从第三段中我们可以了解到野外探险借助技术，它更容易获得，故选B。
【53题详解】
词义猜测题。划线词组上文讲到“Visiting the Okavango Delta or Kalahari Desert, for example, no longer implies a self-supported expedition ( 考 察 ). (例如，参观奥卡万戈三角洲或卡拉哈里沙漠，不再意味着一次自助探险)”这里要注意“不是自主探险”所以划线词组所在句子Field stations pop up in important national parks and remote sensing by satellite becomes commonplace.的意思是：在重要的国家公园里出现了野外观测站，卫星遥感变得司空见惯。可知第三段中带下划线的部分的意思是“突然出现”，故选A。
【54题详解】
推理判断题。文章倒数第二段讲到“It is here that they begin to understand how seemingly unrelated environmental interactions influence their study system. Sometimes, it’s difficult to know which is important to measure until you stand out there on the forest edge.(正是在这里，他们开始了解看似无关的环境交互作用如何影响他们的学习系统。有时，在你站在森林边缘之前，很难知道衡量哪一个是重要的。)”可知作者在考察之后意识到了科学家实地考察的意义，故选A。
【55题详解】
细节理解题。文章最后一段讲到“The measure of their success will be whether there are still well-preserved wild places for expeditions in the future. (衡量它们成功与否的标准将是未来是否还有保存完好的野外探险场所)”可知未来探险的成功将由保护野生场所决定。故选C。

阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。
Learning outside of a classroom may still be a new thing for many people but not for Kamer ·Meli·Veseli, who’s completing his final year of high school that way. His family moved from Kosovo to Switzerland, so he’s doing his coursework remotely and will take a big test with all of his teachers at the end of the year. It’s the ideal arrangement for Meli since it allows him to manage his own schedule and pursue other interests in his free time. That’s where Spark and online learning come in.
Meli has always been a serious gamer, but he’s not just looking to have fun. He likes examining the technology behind his favorite games and is curious to understand how developers create the graphics, textures, and special effects. He really wanted to make his own games and actually did develop a couple on Android but wasn’t satisfied with the results.
Searching for online courses that could take his game to the next level, he found Spark, and it was “one of the happiest days of my life.”
But gaming isn’t the extent of Meli’s interests. He’s also a hopeful singer who’d always lacked the confidence to sing in public. Then he took courses on Spark and discovered exercises that could help him loosen and relax his throat and release his voice “10 times better in 10 minutes.” Now he plans for Switzerland’s version of the TV show “The Voice” in 2016! With Spark courses, Meli’s also brushing up on his drawing skills, which he picked up in his childhood. He finally created a perfect portrait of his older brother.
Wherever Meli’s dreams take him, he knows he’ll be able to find relevant courses on Spark: “The variety is unlimited — so many languages, all kinds of software, even things like meditation and cultural lessons. Whatever you want to learn, you’ll find it on Spark.”
56. According to the first paragraph, how does Spark influence Meli’s life? (no more than 10 words)
________________
57. When did Meli find Spark? (no more than 15 words)
________________
58. What does the underlined phrase mean in paragraph 3?(no more than 1 word)
________________
59. What does the fourth paragraph mainly talk about? (no more than 15 words)
________________
60. What do you think of online learning? Give your reason. (no more than 20 words)
________________
【答案】56. He can manage his study and pursue other interests./He can balance his study and other interests.
57. When he searched/was searching for online courses to improve his game.
58. Improving.
59. How Spark helped Meli with singing and painting./Spark helped Meli become a good singer and painter.
60. Online learning is very good. It can provide many recourses and bring much convenience to our daily life and study.

【导语】本文是夹叙夹议文。文章通过讲述卡梅尔·梅利·韦塞利利用Spark网络进行学习的经历告诉我们，网络学习可以提供很多的资源，给人们带来了许多的便利。
【56题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Learning outside of a classroom may still be a new thing for many people but not for Kamer ·Meli·Veseli, who’s completing his final year of high school that way. His family moved from Kosovo to Switzerland, so he’s doing his coursework remotely and will take a big test with all of his teachers at the end of the year. It’s the ideal arrangement for Meli since it allows him to manage his own schedule and pursue other interests in his free time. That’s where Spark and online learning come in. (对于许多人来说，在教室外学习可能仍然是一件新鲜事，但对于卡梅尔·梅利·韦塞利来说，这不是一件新鲜的事，他正以这种方式完成高中最后一年的学业。他的家人从科索沃搬到了瑞士，因此他正在远程学习课程，并将在年底与所有老师一起参加一场大型考试。这是梅利的理想安排，因为它允许他在空闲时间管理自己的日程并追求其他兴趣。这就是Spark和在线学习的作用所在。)”可知，Spark可以让梅利远程学习，在空闲时间管理自己的日程并追求其他兴趣。故答案为He can manage his study and pursue other interests.或He can balance his study and other interests.

细节理解题。根据第三段“Searching for online courses that could take his game to the next level, he found Spark, and it was “one of the happiest days of my life.”(在寻找能让他的游戏更上一层楼的在线课程时，他找到了Spark，这是“我一生中最快乐的日子之一”。)”可知，在梅利寻找能让他的游戏更上一层楼的在线课程时，他找到了Spark。故答案为When he searched/was searching for online courses to improve his game.
【58题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段“He finally created a perfect portrait of his older brother. (他终于为哥哥画了一幅完美的肖像)”可知，梅利通过学习Spark课程之后终于为哥哥画了一幅完美的肖像，所以他的绘画技巧应该是得到了提高。brushing up on的意思是“提升，提高”。故答案为Improving.
【59题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段“But gaming isn’t the extent of Meli’s interests. He’s also a hopeful singer who’d always lacked the confidence to sing in public.

【60题详解】
开放性试题。根据第一段“Learning outside of a classroom may still be a new thing for many people but not for Kamer ·Meli·Veseli, who’s completing his final year of high school that way.

As a child, I never considered myself an athlete at all as I was very uncoordinated (不协调的). However, I did love to run because I felt as if I was flying but this all changed two years ago when I suffered a knee injury. I was bedridden for two weeks and I had a difficult time moving even short distances. I literally cried myself on my way to the car for a few days.
When therapy wasn’t working well for me, I signed up for a hot yoga class for girls, Bikram Yoga to be exact. Starting a yoga practice was truly a godsend because it helped me gain strength in my knees but, most importantly, yoga helped me attain a more peaceful state of mind, body and spirit.
Since each class was heated to 105°F, every time I stepped foot in the yoga studio, I’d feel a surge (涌起) of negative thoughts come upon me like a big ocean wave. Some of these thoughts were, in the beginning of my practice, so strong that I walked out of the class several times. However, as the months passed by, I noticed that when I didn’t get swayed away by my negative thoughts, I could stay in the hot room for longer.
After 3-4 months of practicing hot yoga, my arms and legs were beginning to get definition. I also woke up with so much more energy than I had before starting my yoga practice and I gradually started shedding the pounds from my body. Yoga literally made me feel as if I’d taken a shot of energy drink and just gave me that burst that helped my knees heal and made my overall health better.
As I saw some of my classmates do poses that looked appealing to me, I started to think maybe I could do them too. Therefore, yoga helped show me that I have no real limitations physically unless I set those limitations myself through eating junk and thinking in negative limiting terms.
Also, practicing yoga in front of a mirror helped me connect with myself and practicing with a group of people really helped me to feel a greater sense of connection with humanity whereas before I didn’t. Overall, this yoga practice has helped me to see I’m part of a bigger picture in life!
41. What once depressed the author terribly?
A. Her inability to walk.
B. Her being uncoordinated.
C. Her failure to find her car.
D. Her serious physical disease.
42. What was the effect of yoga classes on the author’s mind?

B. She felt limited but hopeful.
C. She became mentally stronger.
D. She accepted herself as she was.
43. What difficulty did the author meet while attending each yoga class?

C. She was greatly influenced by negative thoughts.
D. Lack of confidence prevented the author doing yoga.

Like many people, in terms of socializing, I prioritize making time for my closest friends and family. When it comes to reaching out to people I don’t know as well I often find myself reluctant to engage. This could be a big mistake, though, according to a new study. Having different types of social interactions seems to be central to our happiness — something many of us may think little of.
In a series of surveys, researchers looked at how having a socially diverse network related to people’s well-being. In one survey, 578 Americans reported on what activities they had been engaged in, with whom and for how long over the past 24 hours, while also saying how happy with life they were. The researchers found that people with more diverse social networks were happier and more satisfied with life than those with less diverse networks — regardless of how much time they had spent socializing overall.
“The more you can broaden your social circle and reach out to people you talk to less frequently — like an acquaintance, a friend, a coworker, or even a stranger — the more it could have positive benefits for your well-being,” said the lead researcher Hanne Collins of Harvard Business School.
To further test this idea, she and her colleagues looked at large data sets from the American Time Use Survey and the World Health Organization’s Study on Global Aging and Adult Health. In both cases, they found that when people had a broader range of social interactions, they experienced greater happiness and well-being.
Then Collins and her colleagues did another analysis, using data from a mobile app that 21,644 French-speaking people used to report on their daily social activities and happiness. There, they found that when someone experienced greater-than-average social diversity one week, they were happier that week and the week after.
Why is that? It could be that being with different people contributes to different kinds of emotions, which may be a driving force in our happiness, says Collins. Alternatively, it could be that having a more diverse network allows you to get various social supports when you need it. Whatever the case, Collins hopes her research will inspire people to expand their social networks when they can.
46. What does the author use as an introduction to the passage?
A. A personal communication skill.
B. A social trend against one’s will.
C. A common social phenomenon.
D. A culture many people neglect.

【答案】46. C 47. D 48. B 49. C 50. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了研究者发现拥有多样化社交网络的人拥有更强的幸福感。
【46题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Like many people, in terms of socializing, I prioritize making time for my closest friends and family. When it comes to reaching out to people I don’t know as well I often find myself reluctant to engage. This could be a big mistake, though, according to a new study. Having different types of social interactions seems to be central to our happiness — something many of us may think little of.”（像许多人一样，在社交方面，我优先考虑为我最亲密的朋友和家人腾出时间。当涉及到接触我不太了解的人时，我经常发现自己不愿意参与。然而，根据一项新的研究，这可能是一个很大的错误。拥有不同类型的社会互动似乎是我们幸福的核心——这是我们许多人可能很少想到的。）可知，作者用“人们优先考虑为最亲密的朋友和家人腾出时间”这一个普遍的社会现象来作为文章的引言，引出“不同类型的社会互动似乎是我们幸福的核心”这一观点。故选C项。
【47题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“In a series of surveys, researchers looked at how having a socially diverse network related to people’s well-being.”（在一系列的调查中，研究人员观察了拥有一个社会多样化的社交网络是如何与人们的幸福感产生关系的。）可知，这个研究关注的是多样化的社交网络对幸福感的影响，幸福感与生活满意相关。故选D项。
【48题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“‘The more you can broaden your social circle and reach out to people you talk to less frequently — like an acquaintance, a friend, a coworker, or even a stranger — the more it could have positive benefits for your well-being,’ said the lead researcher Hanne Collins of Harvard Business School.”（哈佛大学的首席研究员汉娜·柯林斯说：“你越能拓宽自己的社交圈就越能接触到那些你不太经常交谈的人——比如熟人、朋友、同事、甚至是陌生人——它对你的幸福就越有积极的好处，”）和第四段“In both cases, they found that when people had a broader range of social interactions, they experienced greater happiness and well-being.”（在这两种情况下，他们发现当人们有更广泛的社会互动他们会体验到更大的幸福感和幸福。）可知，这两段都是为了说明拥有更广泛社交圈子有助于拥有更多幸福。故选B项。
【49题详解】
推理判断题。根据第六段“It could be that being with different people contributes to different kinds of emotions, which may be a driving force in our happiness, says Collins.”（可能和不同的人在一起会导致不同的情绪，这可能是我们幸福的驱动力，柯林斯说。）可知，社交多样性会使人产生不同的情绪，而不同的情绪会成为幸福的驱动力。C项中“积极的情绪”也是社交多样性产生的情绪之一，也可以说社交多样性是通过引起人们的积极情绪来提高人的幸福感。故选C项。
【50题详解】
推理判断题。根据第六段“Whatever the case, Collins hopes her research will inspire people to expand their social networks when they can.”（无论在怎样的事例中，柯林斯希望她的研究能激励人们尽可能扩大自己的社交网络。）可知，柯林斯希望人们扩大自己的社交网络，由此推断接下来作者可能会就如何扩大社交网络给出一些特别的建议。故选D项。
D
Some people say that the planet is getting smaller, that there are few places left to explore, and that the age of exploration will be over soon.
I would argue instead that there has never been a greater need to explore. That’s because the stage for all exploration is the natural world, and nature is experiencing a rapid decline. It is by exploring that we understand and when we understand we develop an appreciation for what is found. Ultimately, only the things we appreciate are worth protecting.
As the golden age of exploration weakens, so does the richness of life on Earth. It isn’t just that there are fewer blank areas on the map; it is that wild places and spaces have been progressively carved up (瓜分). Visiting the Okavango Delta or Kalahari Desert, for example, no longer implies a self-supported expedition ( 考 察 ). Field stations pop up in important national parks and remote sensing by satellite becomes commonplace.
In the next century, I believe we will need larger and wilder areas. We will need the wilderness, not just for the protection of it, but because it is an important part of the ecosystems from which we gain our necessities like clean water, food and materials. If we succeed, then expeditions — brief travels into the wild that seek to answer questions, monitor populations, and inspire action — will have a renewed sense of purpose. More importantly, they greatly help the public experience, understand and appreciate nature.
Based on my own research expedition which aims to understand “edge effects”— how the changes in temperature at forest edges impact animals, I find it important that today’s scientists continue to spend time in the field. It is here that they begin to understand how seemingly unrelated environmental interactions influence their study system. Sometimes, it’s difficult to know which is important to measure until you stand out there on the forest edge.
It is the young generation that is the main force to lead the next wave of expeditions. The measure of their success will be whether there are still well-preserved wild places for expeditions in the future. Their leadership is needed now, more than ever.
51. What’s the purpose of this text?
A. To suggest understanding nature by keeping exploring.
B. To advise people not to travel to unknown places.
C. To inform us about the reduced biodiversity.
D. To call on the public to support the study.
52. What can we know about the expedition in wild spaces from Paragraph 3?
A. It is difficult for explorers to make progress.
B. It is more accessible with the help of technology.
C. It promotes the development of satellite technology.
D. It requires explorers to take sufficient heavy equipment.
53. What does the underlined part “pop up” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Appear unexpectedly.
B. Close temporarily.
C. Develop quickly.
D. Differ greatly.
54. What does the author realize after his research expedition?
A. The significance of scientists’ field trip.
B. The difficulty of carrying out fieldwork.
C. The need to expand the edges of forests.
D. The influence of his study on the environment.
55. The success of future expeditions will be determined by________.
A. our knowledge of nature
B. the time spent in the field
C. the preservation of wild places
D. the study system of young generations
【答案】51. A 52. B 53. A 54. A 55. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了科学家实地探索来理解自然的重要性。通过探索，人们才能理解并欣赏值得保护的东西。
【51题详解】
推理判断题。文章第二段讲到“It is by exploring that we understand and when we understand we develop an appreciation for what is found. Ultimately, only the things we appreciate are worth protecting. (正是通过探索，我们才能理解，当我们理解时，我们才能对所发现的东西产生欣赏。最终，只有我们欣赏的东西才值得保护)”可知本文的目的是建议通过不断探索来理解自然，故选A。
【52题详解】
推理判断题。文章第三段讲到“Field stations pop up in important national parks and remote sensing by satellite becomes commonplace.(在重要的国家公园里出现了野外观测站，卫星遥感变得司空见惯。)”可知从第三段中我们可以了解到野外探险借助技术，它更容易获得，故选B。
【53题详解】
词义猜测题。划线词组上文讲到“Visiting the Okavango Delta or Kalahari Desert, for example, no longer implies a self-supported expedition ( 考 察 ). (例如，参观奥卡万戈三角洲或卡拉哈里沙漠，不再意味着一次自助探险)”这里要注意“不是自主探险”所以划线词组所在句子Field stations pop up in important national parks and remote sensing by satellite becomes commonplace.的意思是：在重要的国家公园里出现了野外观测站，卫星遥感变得司空见惯。可知第三段中带下划线的部分的意思是“突然出现”，故选A。
【54题详解】
推理判断题。文章倒数第二段讲到“It is here that they begin to understand how seemingly unrelated environmental interactions influence their study system. Sometimes, it’s difficult to know which is important to measure until you stand out there on the forest edge.(正是在这里，他们开始了解看似无关的环境交互作用如何影响他们的学习系统。有时，在你站在森林边缘之前，很难知道衡量哪一个是重要的。)”可知作者在考察之后意识到了科学家实地考察的意义，故选A。
【55题详解】
细节理解题。文章最后一段讲到“The measure of their success will be whether there are still well-preserved wild places for expeditions in the future. (衡量它们成功与否的标准将是未来是否还有保存完好的野外探险场所)”可知未来探险的成功将由保护野生场所决定。故选C。

阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。
Learning outside of a classroom may still be a new thing for many people but not for Kamer ·Meli·Veseli, who’s completing his final year of high school that way. His family moved from Kosovo to Switzerland, so he’s doing his coursework remotely and will take a big test with all of his teachers at the end of the year. It’s the ideal arrangement for Meli since it allows him to manage his own schedule and pursue other interests in his free time. That’s where Spark and online learning come in.
Meli has always been a serious gamer, but he’s not just looking to have fun. He likes examining the technology behind his favorite games and is curious to understand how developers create the graphics, textures, and special effects. He really wanted to make his own games and actually did develop a couple on Android but wasn’t satisfied with the results.
Searching for online courses that could take his game to the next level, he found Spark, and it was “one of the happiest days of my life.”
But gaming isn’t the extent of Meli’s interests. He’s also a hopeful singer who’d always lacked the confidence to sing in public. Then he took courses on Spark and discovered exercises that could help him loosen and relax his throat and release his voice “10 times better in 10 minutes.” Now he plans for Switzerland’s version of the TV show “The Voice” in 2016! With Spark courses, Meli’s also brushing up on his drawing skills, which he picked up in his childhood. He finally created a perfect portrait of his older brother.
Wherever Meli’s dreams take him, he knows he’ll be able to find relevant courses on Spark: “The variety is unlimited — so many languages, all kinds of software, even things like meditation and cultural lessons. Whatever you want to learn, you’ll find it on Spark.”
56. According to the first paragraph, how does Spark influence Meli’s life? (no more than 10 words)
________________
57. When did Meli find Spark? (no more than 15 words)
________________
58. What does the underlined phrase mean in paragraph 3?(no more than 1 word)
________________
59. What does the fourth paragraph mainly talk about? (no more than 15 words)
________________
60. What do you think of online learning? Give your reason. (no more than 20 words)
________________
【答案】56. He can manage his study and pursue other interests./He can balance his study and other interests.
57. When he searched/was searching for online courses to improve his game.
58. Improving.
59. How Spark helped Meli with singing and painting./Spark helped Meli become a good singer and painter.
60. Online learning is very good. It can provide many recourses and bring much convenience to our daily life and study.

【导语】本文是夹叙夹议文。文章通过讲述卡梅尔·梅利·韦塞利利用Spark网络进行学习的经历告诉我们，网络学习可以提供很多的资源，给人们带来了许多的便利。
【56题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Learning outside of a classroom may still be a new thing for many people but not for Kamer ·Meli·Veseli, who’s completing his final year of high school that way. His family moved from Kosovo to Switzerland, so he’s doing his coursework remotely and will take a big test with all of his teachers at the end of the year. It’s the ideal arrangement for Meli since it allows him to manage his own schedule and pursue other interests in his free time. That’s where Spark and online learning come in. (对于许多人来说，在教室外学习可能仍然是一件新鲜事，但对于卡梅尔·梅利·韦塞利来说，这不是一件新鲜的事，他正以这种方式完成高中最后一年的学业。他的家人从科索沃搬到了瑞士，因此他正在远程学习课程，并将在年底与所有老师一起参加一场大型考试。这是梅利的理想安排，因为它允许他在空闲时间管理自己的日程并追求其他兴趣。这就是Spark和在线学习的作用所在。)”可知，Spark可以让梅利远程学习，在空闲时间管理自己的日程并追求其他兴趣。故答案为He can manage his study and pursue other interests.或He can balance his study and other interests.
【57题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Searching for online courses that could take his game to the next level, he found Spark, and it was “one of the happiest days of my life.”(在寻找能让他的游戏更上一层楼的在线课程时，他找到了Spark，这是“我一生中最快乐的日子之一”。)”可知，在梅利寻找能让他的游戏更上一层楼的在线课程时，他找到了Spark。故答案为When he searched/was searching for online courses to improve his game.
【58题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段“He finally created a perfect portrait of his older brother. (他终于为哥哥画了一幅完美的肖像)”可知，梅利通过学习Spark课程之后终于为哥哥画了一幅完美的肖像，所以他的绘画技巧应该是得到了提高。brushing up on的意思是“提升，提高”。故答案为Improving.
【59题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段“But gaming isn’t the extent of Meli’s interests. He’s also a hopeful singer who’d always lacked the confidence to sing in public.

With Spark courses, Meli’s also brushing up on his drawing skills, which he picked up in his childhood. He finally created a perfect portrait of his older brother. (但游戏并不是Meli的兴趣范围。他也是一位充满希望的歌手，一直缺乏在公众场合唱歌的信心。然后，他参加了Spark的课程，发现了可以帮助他放松和放松喉咙的练习，并“在10分钟内将声音提高10倍”。现在，他计划在2016年参加瑞士版的电视节目“the voice”！通过Spark课程，Meli也在学习自己的绘画技巧，这是他在童年时学到的。他终于为哥哥画了一幅完美的肖像)”可知，这一段主要讲述梅利提高Spark的课程提升了自己的歌唱能力和绘画技巧。故答案为How Spark helped Meli with singing and painting.或Spark helped Meli become a good singer and painter.
