A cntact lens (隐形眼镜) that can release a drug if it detects high pressure within the eye has been created by scientists wh say it culd help treat glaucma.
Glaucma is an eye disease that invlves damage t the ptic nerve, and can lead t blindness if nt treated. Accrding t the charity Glaucma UK, the mst cmmn frm f the disease, knwn as primary pen angle glaucma, is thught t affect almst 10% f peple lder than 75. This frm is generally caused by increased pressure within the eye, usually as a result f a buildup f fluid.
Researchers in China revealed they have develped a cntact lens that can sense an increase in pressure within the eye and release an anti-glaucma drug if the pressure transcends a certain level.
Writing in the jurnal Nature Cmmunicatins, the team describe hw they created the device using an upper and lwer lens, with a snwflake-shaped pressure sensr and wireless pwer transfer device sandwiched between them arund the rim f the lenses. When the pressure inside the eye increases, the gap between the upper and lwer lenses decreases. This is detected by the pressure sensr by means f a cantilever. The sensr then sends a signal t the wireless system which subsequently triggers the release f an anti-glaucma drug, frm a hydrgel attached t an electrde, and enables it t crss the crnea f the eye. The drug, brimnidine, acts t reduce the pressure within the eye.
The study reveals that the cntact lenses have s far been tested n pigs’ eyes and n the eyes f living rabbits—albeit with smaller-sized lenses—althugh trials have yet t be carried ut in humans. The researchers nte the lenses are nt nly sft and minimally invasive but are als battery-free adding that the apprach culd be expanded t help tackle ther eye diseases.
Prf Zubair Ahmed frm the Institute f Inflammatin and Ageing at the University f Birmingham wh was nt invlved in the wrk, said the research was ptentially very exciting, adding that a rise in pressure within the eye was a significant prblem fr mst peple with glaucma. “The materials required t create such cntact lenses are inexpensive and sn culd be mass-prduced.” he added.
4. Wh can prbably get help frm the cntact lens?
A. Thse wh are blind.B. Thse wh have glaucma.
C. Thse wh are lder than 75.D. Thse wh are under heavy pressure.
5. Which f the fllwing wrds can replace the underlined wrd “transcends” in paragraph 3?
A. Exceeds.B. Maintains.C. Lwers.D. Balances.
6. Hw did the team create the device?
A. By crssing the crnea f the eye and then sending a signal.
B. By enlarging the gap between the upper and lwer lenses.
C. By using brimnidine t increase the pressure within the eye.
D. By emplying pressure sensr and wireless pwer transfer device.
7. What can we learn abut the cntact lenses?
A. They are safe but t cstly.B. They have been tested n humans.
C. They will be put n the market sn.D. They need t be used with battery pwer.
【答案】4. B 5. A 6. D 7. C

But the Indian giant（巨大的）squirrel, als knwn as the Malabar giant squirrel, is the real deal. Believe it r nt, it is nt alne. There are three ther giants in the squirrel family, Sciuridae-each f which weighs in at tw t three times the size f the gray squirrels native t the eastern United States.
＂The fur species that make up this grup are fascinating in their large size, brilliant clratin, and tendency fr feeding n sme f the massive trpical fruits n the trees, "says Kprwski.
Even amng its relatives, the Indian giant squirrel stands ut with its bright clrs, which makes ne wnder why its evlutin wuld select fur. That wuld call s much attentin t itself. After all, these frests are als hme t predatrs such as lin-tailed macaques, lepards, and crested serpent eagles-all f which have been knwn t hunt rdents.
N ne knws fr sure, says Kprwski, but the squirrel's purple patterns may serve as a way t hide the animal itself. This is because the bradleaf frests these squirrels inhabit create a pattern f sun spts and shaded areas-nt unlike the rdents' markings.
In ther wrds, what lks flashy and fun t us in an Instagram pst may make the squirrels disappear when hungry muths cme t hunt. Nw that's a cmmn trick.

【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段第二句“Sme had a difficult time believing that the squirrels, phtgraphed in the Pathanamthitta District f Kerala, actually exist, thanks t the animals' bright spts f black and marn.”（照片拍摄于喀拉拉邦的Pathanamthitta区，由于这些动物身上黑色和褐红色的亮点，有些人很难相信这些松鼠真的存在。）可知，一些人很难相信这种松鼠真实存在。由此可知，当人们看到它的图片时，应该是难以置信的。故选B。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“But the Indian giant squirrel, als knwn as the Malabar giant squirrel, is the real deal. Believe it r nt, it is nt alne. There are three ther giants in the squirrel family, Sciuridae-each f which weighs in at tw t three times the size f the gray squirrels native t the eastern United States.”（除了印度大松鼠，也被称为马拉巴尔大松鼠，是真正的大家伙。信不信由你，它并不孤单。松鼠家族中还有另外三种巨松鼠，它们的体重都是美国东部原生灰松鼠的两到三倍。）可知，除了这种紫褐色的巨型松鼠，还有三种体型巨大的松鼠，所以排除体型（size）。再根据第五段“Even amng its relatives, the Indian giant squirrel stands ut with its bright clrs, which makes ne wnder why its evlutin wuld select fur.”（即使在它的近亲中，印度大松鼠也以其鲜艳的颜色脱颖而出，这让人不禁要问，为什么它的进化会选择毛皮。）可知，这种新发现的松鼠和同类相比，它的皮毛的颜色最为突出。故选C。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“Even amng its relatives, the Indian giant squirrel stands ut with its bright clrs, which makes ne wnder why its evlutin wuld select fur.”（即使在它的近亲中，印度大松鼠也以其鲜艳的颜色脱颖而出，这让人不禁要问，为什么它的进化会选择毛皮。）和第六段“N ne knws fr sure, says Kprwski, but the squirrel's purple patterns may serve as a way t hide the animal itself.”（Kprwski说，没有人知道确切的答案，但是松鼠身上的紫色图案可能是一种隐藏动物自身的方式。）可知，这种巨型松鼠的紫色皮毛是为了适应当地环境，从而能隐藏和保护自己。故选B。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“In ther wrds, what lks flashy and fun t us in an Instagram pst may make the squirrels disappear when hungry muths cme t hunt. Nw that's a cmmn trick.”（换句话说，在Instagram上看起来光鲜而有趣的东西，可能会让饥饿的松鼠在觅食时消失。这是一个常见的伎俩。）由此推出，人类是这些松鼠的潜在威胁。故选A。

Dgs experience the same dream stages as humans, including nn-rapid eye mvement (NREM), shrt-wave sleep (SWS), and rapid eye mvement (REM). During the REM state, a dg’s eyes mve arund behind their clsed eyelids, and the large bdy muscles are turned ff s the dream is nt physically acted ut. The amunt f twitching depends n hw much these ff switches cramp muscle mvement.
If yur dg sleeps next t yu, they may unintentinally disturb yur sleep with their sudden bdy mvements. Hwever, it is ften advised nt t awaken a dg that is twitching in their sleep unless they are clearly in distress.
A bad dream r night terrr culd be the cause f these invluntary mvements, and they may wake up frightened. Try t avid tuching them s they dn’t bite yu as a result f being shcked and panicked. Instead, gently call yur dg’s name until they respnd. Speak calmly and tell them that they are safe and secure after they wake up. While they appear t be pretty active in their sleep, dreaming dgs may be slw t awaken.
12. Which f the fllwing influences hw ften dgs dream?

【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四自然段“Accrding t research by psychlgist Stanley Cren, an average-size dg will dream abut every 20 minutes, and these dreams will last abut a minute. Larger breeds (品种) have fewer dreams that last lnger — abut every 45 minutes fr 4 minutes. The ppsite is true fr smaller breed dgs; they will dream abut every 10 minutes fr up t 30 secnds. (根据心理学家斯坦利·科伦的研究，一只中等大小的狗大约每20分钟就会做梦，这些梦会持续大约一分钟。体型较大的品种的梦更少，持续时间更长——大约每45分钟做一次，持续4分钟。小型犬的情况正好相反；他们会每10分钟做梦一次，时间长达30秒)”可知，狗的体型会影响狗的做梦频率。故选B。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“During the REM state, a dg’s eyes mve arund behind their clsed eyelids, and the large bdy muscles are turned ff s the dream is nt physically acted ut. (在快速眼动状态下，狗的眼睛在紧闭的眼睑后移动，身体的大块肌肉被关闭，所以梦不会在身体上发生)”可知，抽搐的程度取决于这些开关对肌肉运动的限制程度。由此可知，划线词意思是“限制”。A. Stimulate刺激；B. Transfrm转换；C. Limit限制；D. Mnitr监控。故选C。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Try t avid tuching them s they dn’t bite yu as a result f being shcked and panicked. (尽量避免碰到它们，这样它们就不会因为受惊而咬你)”可知，建议不要吵醒睡梦中抽搐的狗是为了避免被狗咬伤。故选A。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一自然段“Yu may have nticed sudden, brief twitching (抽动) at sme pint while yur dg was sleeping and wndered if they were dreaming r even expressing sme type f discmfrt. (你可能会注意到你的狗狗在睡觉时突然短暂的抽搐，想知道它们是在做梦，还是在表达某种不适)”并结合文章可知，本文主要解释了为什么狗在睡觉时会抽搐的现象，以及如何处理这种情况避免被狗咬伤或惊吓到狗。由此可知，C选项“Why d dgs twitch in their sleep? (为什么狗在睡觉时会抽搐？)”最能概括本文主旨。故选C。

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
It's the start f a new year, when yur fitness gals are set and yu engage in the challenge. ___16___ Their standards f “t big” are nt even achievable in their lifetime, let alne a few mnths f training, which brings my tips.
Set realistic gals! The prcess f building muscle is an abslutely slw ne that requires strng will t gain. Cnsistently causing prtein synthesis （合成）in specific muscle fibers will allw muscle t develp. Hwever, all individuals are nt equal in the prcess.___17___ Gaining muscle will happen quickly t a new gym-ger, but take a lng time fr smene that has been training fr years.
Stick t specific training fr the gals yu set t achieve. ___18___This will require yu t restrict the diet, and it will prevent yu gaining muscle. Diet reflects the training lad. The training reflects yur gals. It's like swimming upstream, think strng, fast and flexible. If yu are running a marathn, the gals are different and train accrdingly!
___19___ Fat has taken sme time t develp, s it will nt be lst vernight. Allw the hrmnal triggers （生理诱因）in the bdy t wrk mre efficiently t regulate vlume f fd. Taking ut additinal sugars is ne f the mst imprtant steps t regulate vlumes f fd t switch ff desire fr fd.
Once a gal is reached, d nt g back t what yu did befre. When peple finish their transfrmatin, the hrmne prfile is very weak t fat depsitin （沉积）。Every training sessin shuld be a step tward a lasting transfrmatin, with a diet imprving the level f exercise. ___20___
A. Dn't try t achieve t much at nce.
B. Why d s few peple see their gals thrugh?
C. Give yurself a realistic timeline when it cmes t fat lss.
D. Keeping running slwly leads t very big changes ver time.
E. Appreciate that yu are taking time fr yur wn develpment.
F. Place restrictins n yur diet and fllw gd fd eating patterns.
G. Als, it depends n hw lng yu have been training t achieve muscle grwth.
【答案】16. B 17. G 18. A 19. C 20. F
【解析】
【分析】本文是说明文，介绍了如何制定并实现你的健身目标。
【16题详解】
根据上文“It's the start f a new year, when yur fitness gals are set and yu engage in the challenge.（新的一年开始，你设定健身目标并开始挑战）”及空格处下一句“Their standards f “t big” are nt even achievable in their lifetime, let alne a few mnths f training, which brings my tips.（他们过大的标准甚至一生都无法实现，更不用说几个月的训练了，这给我带来了提示。）”可知，此处说明人们制定健身计划，但是目标太宏大，以至于很少人能够实现他们的目标。因此推断B项“Why d s few peple see their gals thrugh?（为什么很少有人实现他们的目标呢？）”承接上文的制定健康目标，引出下文的不能实现的大目标。故选B。
【17题详解】
根据空格处上一句“The prcess f building muscle is an abslutely slw ne that requires strng will t gain.”可知，锻炼肌肉的过程是一个绝对缓慢的过程，需要坚强的意志来获得。G项中的“muscle grwth.”与上文一致；下文“ Gaining muscle will happen quickly t a new gym-ger, but take a lng time fr smene that has been training fr years.”可知，健身房新来的锻炼者很快会有肌肉，但是对于已经接受多年训练的人来说，则需要很长时间。因此推断肌肉训练因人而异。因此推断G项“Als, it depends n hw lng yu have been training t achieve muscle grwth.（另外，这取决于你增长肌肉所需要训练的时间）”承上启下，且“hw lng”与下句“fr years”呼应。故选G。
【18题详解】
根据主题句“Stick t specific training fr the gals yu set t achieve.（要坚持你设定的目标。）”可知，本段说明要坚持自己设定的目标；下文“If yu are running a marathn, the gals are different and train accrdingly!（如果你要参加马拉松训练，目标将有所不同，并进行相应的训练。）”说明不同的目标有不同的训练，不能同时设定多个目标，因为所需要的训练不同。因此推断不要指望一下子完成多个目标。A项“Dn't try t achieve t much at nce.（不要指望一下子就能实现）”符合语境。故选A。
【19题详解】
分析可知，空格处为段落标题。根据空格处下句“ Fat has taken sme time t develp, s it will nt be lst vernight.”可知，脂肪的生成需要很长时间，因此减肥也并不可能一夜之间就能完成，因此推断要设定符合现实的目标。因此推断C项“Give yurself a realistic timeline when it cmes t fat lss.（当提到减肥的时候，要给你自己设定一个符合现实的时间表）”为段落标题。故选C。
【20题详解】
根据上文“Every training sessin shuld be a step tward a lasting transfrmatin, with a diet imprving the level f exercise.(每次训练都应该是迈向持久转变的一步，通过节食可以改善运动水平。”训练时要节食。F项中的“restrictins n yur diet”F和“ gd fd eating patterns”与此处一致，因此推断F项“Place restrictins n yur diet and fllw gd fd eating patterns.（达到健身目标后要防止脂肪回弹，因此还需要控制饮食，遵循好的饮食习惯。）”符合语境，且F项中“diet”原词重现，与上文呼应。故选F。

【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了每天用一份红肉代替鱼或坚果可以将早死的风险降低。
【36题详解】
考查介词。句意：但《每日电讯报》提供了一个好消息，每天用一份红肉代替鱼或坚果可以将早死的风险降低近五分之一。exchange…fr…是固定搭配，意为“交换”。故填fr。
【37题详解】
考查动词时态语态和主谓一致。句意：这两个标题都是由一项关于饮食和健康结果的重大新研究提出的。此处陈述过去发生的事情，使用一般过去时，主语Bth headlines与谓语为被动关系。可知，此处应该用一般过去时的被动语态。主语为headlines，谓语动词使用复数形式。故填were put。
【38题详解】
考查名词。句意：这两个标题都是由一项关于饮食和健康结果的重大新研究提出的。utcme是可数名词，再根据前面的 diet and health可知，这里是指两方面的结果，所以用复数形式。故填utcmes。
【39题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：他们发现，在研究期间，那些改变了饮食习惯、摄入更多红肉的人死亡的可能性要高出10%左右。空处引导定语从句，先行词thse指代人，且在定语从句中充当主语，需用关系代词wh/that引导。故填wh/that。
【40题详解】
考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意：他们发现，在研究期间，那些改变了饮食习惯、摄入更多红肉的人死亡的可能性要高出10%左右。分析句子结构可知，that引导的宾语从句缺少谓语，再根据前面的had可知，此处应该用一般过去时。主语为thse，谓语动词用复数形式。故填were。
【41题详解】
考查副词。句意：虽然减少红肉本身并不能降低死亡风险，但吃鱼或坚果等其他食物确实能略微降低死亡风险。此处用slight的副词形式来修饰谓语动词did reduce。故填slightly。
【42题详解】
考查形容词。句意：我们仍然需要对这些发现保持谨慎。be为系动词，后面需加形容词作表语，be careful abut为固定结构，意为“注意”。故填careful。
【43题详解】
考查名词。句意：这项研究不能确定地告诉我们红肉或红肉消耗的变化是寿命变化的直接原因。meat为名词作定语，修饰名词。cnsumptin是cnsume的名词形式，meat cnsumptin意为“肉类消耗”。故填cnsumptin。
【44题详解】
考查冠词。句意：但研究结果支持了现有的健康饮食建议，即限制红肉和加工肉类，多吃蔬菜、水果和其他蛋白质来源，如坚果和豆类。这里的the results特指这次实验的结果，需用定冠词the修饰。故填the。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：但研究结果支持了现有的健康饮食建议，即限制红肉和加工肉类，多吃蔬菜、水果和其他蛋白质来源，如坚果和豆类。and前后为并列成分，根据本句后面的t eat可知，此处应该用动词不定式作定语。故填t limit。
