【点睛】主谓一致之意义一致。
“a number of+复数名词”与“the number of+复数名词”作状语
a number of表示“很多……”，后跟可数名词的复数形式，作主语时，谓语动词用复数形式；
the number of表示“……的数目”，中心词是number，所以是单数，作主语时，谓语动词用单数。如：
The number of the students in our class is 50. 我们班学生的数量是五十。

A mum saved her daughter's life with her newly learned first aid skills. Sonya Hall, 33, of Denny Avenue, Lancaster, had only just attended one first aid class the day before when she found herself needing to use the skills on her three-year-old daughter Tilly.
Sonya, who also has son Emmen, six, attended the first aid course at Lune Park Children's Centre in Lancaster. Then she was faced with every parent's worst nightmare when Tilly went blue in the face and stopped breathing. But thanks to her newly acquired skills, Sonya saved Tilly's life.
Sonya said, “Tilly was playing with her brother and they were fighting over a toy. Emmen won the fight. Tilly fell backwards and her head was hit. She was face down and shaking and at first I thought she was upset. But then I saw she was blue in the face and had stopped breathing. I reacted without thinking and immediately started using the first aid skills I had learned the day before which were so fresh in my mind. I began doing mouth-to-mouth and chest compression(胸外按压). It probably took about a minute before Tilly started breathing again, but to me it felt like a lifetime.”
After getting Tilly breathing again, Sonya called an ambulance and the doctors came. Since then, Tilly has been diagnosed with Reflex Anoxic Seizure(反射缺氧发作). Sonya said, “The seizure can happen when there's any unexpected pain, fear or fright. It's just so lucky that the day before it happened, I had been practicing first aid."
The Empowering Parents First Aid course is run by Lancashire Adult Learning. Sonya said, “I am just so glad I did the course and I learnt the first aid skills. I always feared I would not know what to do in a crisis situation, but luckily I had the knowledge and skills to deal with it.”

【分析】
这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了一位母亲用新学的急救知识与技能拯救了女儿生命的故事。
【41题详解】
细节理解题。根据原文第三段“Tilly fell backwards and her head was hit.”（Tilly往后摔倒，头被伤到了。）可知，她摔到地面上，撞到了头。故选B。
【42题详解】
细节理解题。根据原文第三段“She was face down and shaking and at first I thought she was upset.”（她脸向下，在发抖，一开始我认为她很生气）可知，当一开始女儿发抖的时候，母亲以为是她生气。故选D。
【43题详解】
词句猜测题。根据上文“I began doing mouth-to-mouth and chest compression(胸外按压). It probably took about a minute before Tilly started breathing again, but to me it felt like a lifetime”（我开始嘴对嘴吹气和胸外按压，大概过了一分钟Tilly开始重新有了呼吸，但对我来说感觉过了一生。）再综合语境及经验常识可知，急救的场面是十分惊心动魄的，也会让人高度紧张，面对失去呼吸的女儿，一位母亲肯定会觉得这段时间非常紧张和煎熬，因此Sonya非常紧张和害怕。即，划线部分的意思是 “Sonya非常紧张和害怕”。故选B。
【44题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段和最后一段Sonya的讲述，特别是倒数第二段“It's just so lucky that the day before it happened, 1 had been practicing first aid.”（很幸运在那一天的事情发生前，我已经练习了急救技能）可知，正是Sonya学了急救，才救了女儿一命。由此推知，下次去上课时因此她内心会十分感激。故选C。
【45题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章内容可知，全文围绕Sonya用急救知识与技能拯救了她女儿的生命展开，再结合文章首段首句“A mum saved her daughter's life with her newly learned first aid skills.”（一位母亲用她新学的急救技能拯救了她女儿的生命）可知，“母亲用急救技能救了女孩子（女儿）”可以作为本文的最佳标题。故选A。

If you have ever talked about your dreams with your friends, you may have noticed something interesting. Some of your friends rarely remember their dreams, while others can describe their dreams very clearly. Why do people remember dreams differently?
The answer is simple: they are two different types of dreamers --- low—recall dreamers and high-recall dreamers.
According to researchers at the Lyon Neuroscience Research Center in France, high-recall dreamers reported they remembered their dreams almost every day while low — recall dreamers said they only remembered their dreams once or twice a month, reported Live Science.
Perrine Ruby, a lead scientist at the research center in Lyon, studied 41 people （21 high-recall dreamers and 20 low-recall dreamers） and recorded their brain activity.
She found that a part of the brain called the temporo-parietal junction （前颞顶叶交 界处）was more active in high-recall dreamers. This was true both when they were sleeping and awake.
This area of the brain is responsible for collecting and processing information from the outside world. This means that high-recall dreamers are more sensitive to what is happening around them. For example, when they are awake, they respond more strongly to hearing their own names. When they are sleeping, they tend to be woken up more easily by sounds and movements.
By closely studying people's brain activity, Ruby found that high-recall dreamers have twice as much "wakefulness during sleep as low-recall dreamers do. And it is during these short periods of wakefulness that the brain memorizes dreams.
This is not hard to understand. Just try to think of your own sleeping experience. If you are restless during the night, you are more likely to remember your dreams, but if you sleep well and soundly, you tend to remember very little in the morning. This is because “you never get a chance to remember”, Robert Stick gold, a Harvard Medical School researcher, told The Washington Post.
As another research project at the University of Turku in Finland showed, dream content can also affect our memory. Negative dreams are easier to recall than ordinary dreams. Nightmares （噩梦）are often recalled because they are emotionally negative, and such dreams evoke fear.
46. What can we know about high-recall dreamers according to the article?
A. They have very little brain activity when they sleep.
B. They can remember their dreams clearly.
C. They don't know how to describe their dreams.
D. They remember their dreams twice a week.
47. Compared to high-recall dreamers, low — recall dreamers.
A. have higher quality sleep
B. have more sleepless nights
C. are more easily woken at night
D. respond faster when hearing their names
48. What is the main purpose of the 8th paragraph?
A. To explain Ruby's findings.
B. To attract readers' interest in future studies.
C. To show the advantages of being a low -recall dreamer.
D. To suggest what to do to become a low — recall dreamer.
49. What did the research project in Finland find?
A. Ordinary dreams can help our brain rest.
B. Dreams are often affected by our emotions.
C. Nightmares often happen when we don't sleep well.
D. Negative dreams are more likely to be recalled
50. What does the underlined word "evoke" in the last paragraph probably mean?
A. approve of B. define C. result in D. extend
【答案】46. B 47. A 48. A 49. D 50. C
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇科普类说明文。短文介绍了不同的人对梦境不同程度的记忆的原因。
详解】1.细节理解题。根据第三段中的“high-recall dreamers reported they remembered their dreams almost every day while low — recall dreamers said they only remembered their dreams once or twice a month,”高回忆率的人报告说他们几乎每天都能记住他们的梦，而低回忆率的人说他们一个月只能记住他们的梦一到两次。可知，高回忆型的做梦者清晰地记得他们每一天的梦，故选B。
2.推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“ If you are restless during the night, you are more likely to remember your dreams, but if you sleep well and soundly, you tend to remember very little in the morning. ”如果你晚上睡不着，你更有可能记得你做过的梦，但如果你睡得好，睡得香，你早上的记忆就会很少。可知，如果睡得很香甜，就记不住梦的内容。而低回忆型的做梦者就是记不住梦的内容，由此可以推断他们的睡觉质量很高。故选A。
3.推理判断题。结合第四段的首句“Perrine Ruby,a lead scientist at the research center in Lyon, studied 41 people (21 high-recall dreamers and 20 low-recall dreamers) and recorded their brain activity.”里昂研究中心的首席科学家 Perrine Ruby 研究了41个人(21个记忆力高的做梦者和20个记忆力低的做梦者) ，记录了他们的大脑活动。就说明了Ruby做了一个研究，而下面几段就是具体介绍了研究的内容以及结果等。根据第8段的内容“This is not hard to understand. Just try to think of your own sleeping experience. If you are restless during the night, you are more likely to remember your dreams, but if you sleep well and soundly, you tend to remember very little in the morning.”这点不难理解，这并不难理解。试着想想自己的睡眠经历。如果你在晚上不安分，你更有可能记住你的梦，但如果你睡得好而且很沉，你往往在早上记住的很少。可以得出，本段主要是对Perrine Ruby的研究结果做解释。故选A。
4.细节理解题。根据最后一段“As another research project at the University of Turku in Finland showed, dream content can also affect our memory. Negative dreams are easier to recall than ordinary dreams. ”芬兰图尔库大学的另一个研究项目表明，梦的内容也会影响我们的记忆。 消极的梦比普通的梦更容易回忆起来。可知，芬兰的研究项目发现消极的梦更容易被想起来。故选D。
5.词义猜测题。由本段中“Nightmares （噩梦）are often recalled because they are emotionally negative, ”噩梦之所以经常被回忆起来，是因为它们在情绪上是消极的。结合本句“such dreams evoke fear.”这样的梦会____恐惧。根据本句所在的语境，可推断，这样的梦会给人带来恐惧，即会产生恐惧。选项C.“result in”产生，符合题意，故选C。
D
An analysis of almost 50 years of competitions—including Eurovision Song Contests and world skating championships—has found that contestants are more likely to win if they are among the last to appear before the judges.
The study by an American university appears to provide scientific proof that the best man, or woman, does not always win. It found that, on average, the last competitor to appear in the Eurovision Song Contest was more than twice as likely to win as the one who went on first.
The first rounds of figure—skating championships, for which the running order is selected at random, showed more dramatic results. The final skater had a 14 percent chance of victory, making him or her more than four times as likely to win as the first skater.
The study showed a gradual worsening of chances for competitors who appeared earlier in the running order. A contestant who appears first in a contest is two percent less likely to win than one who appears second. A contestant who appears second is two percent less likely to win than one who appears third, and so on.
The findings are published in the March issue of Acta Psychologica, a scientific journal. Robert Hardman, a senior lecturer in psychology at London Metropolitan University who specializes in the science of decision-making, said that the results were interesting. He suggested that the effect was caused by the limitations of the human memory.
“When people make comparison, they aren’t really able to make a lot of fine-grade discrimination. When contestants appear at the beginning of a contest, judges have little to compare them to and are perhaps cautious about the scores they give.” he said.
“Later on when judges are able to compare the contestants to those that have gone before, they might give more extreme marks because they feel more confident about their judgments.”
51. Robert Hardman’s words mainly tell about his ______.
A. explanation for the findings B. own achievement in the research
C. suggestion to solve the problem D. comments on the findings
52. The first skater in the first round of figure skating championships had a ______ percent chance of winning.
A. six B. four
C. three D. two
53. According to the study, the best competitor does not always win possibly because he/she ______.
A. fails to show his/her very best
B. is mistakenly put in the running order
C. meets with unfair judges
D. appears too early before the judges
54. What may be a problem with the judges according to the article?
A. They believe the first is seldom the best.
B. They can’t remember things well enough.
C. They don’t really know what is good.
D. They show favor towards the contestants they like.
55. What could be the best title for the passage?
A. A contestant who appears last is sure to win.
B. Judges have a preference when giving scores.
C. The best way to come first is to go last.
D. Judges usually made no comparison in contests.
【答案】51. A 52. C 53. D 54. B 55. C
【解析】

阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题
I remember doing the household chores to help my mother when I was nine. I hated changing the vacuum cleaner (真空吸尘器)bag and picking up things the machine did not suck up. Twenty years later, in 1978, with this lifelong dislike of the way the machine worked, I decided to make a bagless one.
Easier said than done, of course. I didn't realize that I would spend the next five years perfecting my design, a process that resulted in 5,127 different prototypes (样机).By the time I made my 15th prototype, my third child was born. By 2,627, my wife and I were really counting our pennies. By 3,727, my wife was giving art lessons for some extra cash, and we were getting further and further into debt. These were tough times, but each failure brought me closer to solving the problem.
In the early 1980s, I started trying to get licensing agreements for my technology. The reality was very different, however. The major vacuum makers had built a business model based on the profits from bags and filters (滤网). No one would license my idea, not because it was a bad one, but because it was bad for business. But soon after, the companies that I had talked with started making machines like mine. I had to fight legal battles on both sides of the Atlantic to protect the patents on my vacuum cleaner.
I was still in financial difficulties until 1993, when my bank manager personally persuaded Lloyds Bank to lend me $1 million. Then I was able to go into production. Within two years, the Dyson vacuum cleaner became a best-seller in Britain.
Today, I still embrace risk and the potential for failure as part of the process. Nothing beats the excitement of invention.
56. What drove the author to make a bagless vacuum cleaner? (No more than 10 words)
57. What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us? (No more than 10 words)
58. Why did the companies refuse to license the author's technology? (No more than 10 words)
59. What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph mean? (No more than 10 words)
60. What lesson may you learn from the author's experience? (No more than 25 words)
【答案】56. The dislike of the way the vacuum cleaner worked
His dislike of the way the existing cleaners worked
His discontent with existing cleaners.
57. The tough process of the new invention.
The tough time the author experienced perfecting his design .
58. Because it was bad for business.
Because they thought they might suffer loss.
59. I welcome/(am willing to take) risk and accept possible failure.
I'm still ready to take risk and accept possible failure.
60. I have learned that failure is the mother of success, so we shouldn't be afraid of failure. We should try our best until we succeed.
