A
Now, a new study has uncovered a simple physical rule that governs ant rafts (蚂蚁筏): shrink and expand. The discovery could one day lead to the design of robots that work in groups.
Individually, ants are not as smart as people think, but collectively, they can form very smart and flexible organizations. For example, after storms in the southeastern United States, fire ants form giant floating rafts to survive rough waters.
Researchers used mathematical models to work out the mechanics behind these floating rafts. They found that the faster the ants on a raft moved, the more the raft expanded outwards, often forming long stretches. This behavior is automatic in nature and does not require any central decision making.
The researchers also conducted experiments to uncover the secrets of the ant raft. They put thousands of fire ants in a bucket of water with a plastic stick in the middle, and they waited.
What they eventually saw was that rafts started to form, and instead of these structures staying the same shape over time, they kept shrinking and expanding until they formed dense colonies. Sometimes the ants spread out like pancake batter (面糊) on a frying pan, and sometimes they shrank to form bridges. Each ant raft was made up of two layers. At the bottom, structural ants stuck together to form a base. Above them was a second layer of ants, which were free to walk on top of other ants. Over a period of time, ants climbed from the bottom to the top.
When they let the game play out, researchers found simulated (模拟的) ant rafts behaved like they were in the real world. The more the ants walked, the more likely they were to form long stretches stretching out from the raft, like people gathering for the exit in a crowded stadium.
Research on fire ants will hopefully help understand how simple rules can be written to instruct robot show to interact with others to achieve targeted group responses.
1．What plays an important role in the size of ant rafts?
A．The speed of ants. B．The central decision.
C．The division of labor. D．The number of ants.
2．What is mainly discussed about ant rafts in the fifth paragraph?
A．Size B．Function. C．Shape. D．Formation.
3．Which column of a magazine is this article most likely from?

B
Educator and civil rights activist Mary McLeod Bethune will soon make history as the first black person to have a statue in the U. S. Capitol’s Statuary Hall, when her statue replaces that of a general.
Bethune, the daughter of formerly enslaved people, was an influential educator and activist who founded the National Council of Negro Women, advised multiple U. S. presidents and created a boarding school for black children that would later become Bethune-Cookman University in Daytona Beach.
The 11-foot statue weighs more than 6,000 1bs…It was created by artist Nilda Comas, who was chosen from a field of 1,600 applicants and is the first Hispanic master sculptor to create a statue for the National Statuary Hall State Collection. Before she started sculpting, Comas conducted a four-year thorough research, which she called “a beautiful journey.”
The statue features Bethune wearing a cap and long dress and a pearl necklace, holding a black rose in one hand and a walking stick in the other. She’s standing in front of a pile of books, with a warm smile and what one local reporter described as eyes that “register wisdom kindness.”
The base of the statue is inscribed(铭刻)with her name, her home state, birth and death dates, as well as one of her most famous quotes, “Invest in the human soul. Who knows, it may be a diamond in the rough.”
The black rose represents Bethune’s work in education, as well as her belief that “loving thy neighbor” required interracial, inter-religious and international brotherhood, according to a nonprofit organization.
“Although there is no species of flower called a ‘black rose’, Dr. Bethune was attracted by beauty of a rose with a particular dark colour,” it explained. “These dark roses instantly became her favorite. She thereafter referred to her pupils as her ‘black roses’”
4．Why has Bethune’s statue been set up?
A．Because she offered much advice to US presidents.
B．Because she was the first black person to be a general.
C．Because she created the first university for black people.
D．Because she was a distinguished black educator and activist.
5．What are Para.3 and 4.mainly about?
A．The size of the statue. B．The research of the statue.
C．The creation of the statue. D．The choosing of the sculptor.
6．What does “black rose” in Para. 6 stand for?
A．Bethune’s famous·quotes. B．Bethune’s devotion and faith.
C．Bethune’s wisdom and kindness. D．Bethune’s investment and religion.
7．What do we know about Bethune?
A．A shaper of human soul. B．A founder of a nonprofit.
C．An 'educator for African women. D．A builder of modern university.
C
Humans have been living and working on the space station for 20 years. Their meals are packaged, though sometimes astronauts receive fresh treats from resupply missions. The longer that packaged food is stored, the more it loses nutrients like vitamin C and vitamin K.
Astronauts have successfully grown 10 different crops on the space station since 2015 and had the chance to sample each one. The International Space Station hosted a party for astronauts on Friday as they celebrated the harvest of the first Chili (辣椒) grown in space. The crew finally had a chance to taste the peppers after initially kicking off the plant experiment on the space station in July.
Plant Habitat-04 is one of the most complex plant experiments on the orbiting laboratory to date because peppers take much longer to grow than the previous experiment plants. After growing for four months, the peppers were harvested on Friday.
Peppers provide a great source of vitamin C, as well as other key nutrients. Pepper plants self-pollinate, so they are easy to grow, and they are a pick-and-eat crop that doesn’t have to be cooked. They are also safe to eat raw.
A side effect of life in zero gravity is that astronauts often lose some of their taste and smell, so spicy or well-seasoned foods are a favorite. Adding fresh greens or peppers to the menu allows astronauts to liven up their regular meals. But growing and tending to the plants can also produce other benefits.
Astronauts have described the joy from seeing—as well as smelling and caring for—leafy green plants on the space station that remind them of Earth.
“Growing colorful vegetables in space can have long-term benefits for physical and psychological health,” said Matt Romeyn, principal investigator for the experiment.” We are discovering that growing plants and vegetables with colors and smells helps to improve astronauts’ well-being.”
8．What does underlined “kicking off” in the 2nd paragraph mean?
A．Launch. B．Complete. C．Quit. D．Announce.
9．What makes Plant Habitat-04 one of the most complex plant experiments?
A．The technology. B．Growing process.
C．The varieties of plants. D．Growing time required.
10．Why are peppers added to the menu for astronauts?
A．They are delicious. B．They restore their appetite.
C．They help kill diseases. D．They improve their memory.
11．What is the suitable title for the text ?
A．The Fun in the Space Life
B．The Common Goal in the Space Mission
C．The First Chili Peppers Grown in Space
D．A Research Finding from the Space Mission
D
Many facts suggest that children are overweight and the situation is getting worse, according to the doctors. I feel there are a number of reasons for this.
Some people blame the fact that we are surrounded by shops selling unhealthy, fatty foods, such as fried chicken and ice cream, at low prices. This has turned out a whole generation of grown-ups who seldom cook a meal for themselves. If there were fewer of these restaurants, then probably children would buy less take-away food.
There is another argument that blames parents for allowing their children to become overweight. I agree with this, because good eating habits begin early in life, long before children start to visit fast food shops. If children are given fried chicken and chocolate rather than healthy food, or are always allowed to choose what they eat, they will go for sweet and salty foods every time, and this will carry on throughout their lives.
There is a third reason for this situation. Children these days take very little exercise. They do not walk to school. When they get home, they sit in front of the television or their computers and play computer games. Not only is this an unhealthy pastime (消遣), it also gives them time to eat more unhealthy food. What they need is to go outside and play active games or sports.
The above are the main reasons for this problem, and therefore we have to encourage young people to be more active, as well as steering them away from fast food shops and bad eating habits.
12．According to the text, what kind of children may eat more unhealthy food?
A．Those who often take exercise.
B．Those who often watch television.
C．Those who often have meals at home.
D．Those who often walk to school.
13．The author thinks that children are becoming overweight because .
A．their parents often cook meals for them
B．they are too busy to go out and play
C．they can't choose what to eat
D．there are too many fast food shops around
14．The word "steering" underlined in the last sentence most probably means _______.
A．forcing B．guiding
C．driving D．moving
15．The main purpose of the text is to _________.
A．tell a story B．provide facts
C．give advice D．compare opinions
第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分）
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项 为多余选项。
We are taught from childhood that warming up is a must in preparation for any exercise. It allows us to prepare our muscles for the strain（拉力）we are about to place on them and prevent injury.____16____These all prepare for an effective workout.
____17____It prevents dizziness, helps return the heart rate back to normal and prevents chronic venous insufficiency（CVI）. Also known as "blood pooling", CVI occurs when the blood in blood vessels（血管）expands during prolonged exercise, making it difficult for it to return to the heart from the legs.
According to many health and fitness instructors, the total cool-down period should last 3 to 10 minutes, or until you are ready to stop.____18____For example, if you have been working your legs, you will need to do lower body stretches or a slow walk. There are many helpful tutorials online.
The best way to measure whether you have cooled down effectively is purely based on common sense—if you feel your heart rate has reduced, that's enough. There is no research to prove stretching after a session will help reduce pain, but if you feel it helps, do so.____19____
Cooling down methods, including foam rollers, a sports massage or dry needling, are worth investigating.____20____If the pain is there the next day, consult your doctor, and, more importantly, warm up more thoroughly next time.
A．It is down to personal preference.
B．Fast walking is the simplest exercise.
C．If you are not flexible, lower your upper body.
D．If you experience any pain when stretching, stop.
E．But cooling down is as important as warming up.
F．Areas to target depend on which part of the body you have trained.
G．More importantly, it steadily increases the heart rate and blood flow.

第二节（满分25 分）读后续写
阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
“Go back, Mom! Go back!” shouted my six-year-old daughter, June. I quickly turned around to cast my doubtful eyes on the back seat, worried I had forgotten her younger sister. I was relieved to see the girls safe and sit in their car seats, but June’s expression was one of pure anxiety. “Mom, we have to go back,” she insisted. “Someone needs our help!”
As I looked back from the driver’s seat, I spotted a young man in rags playing his guitar. His skinny, poor-looking dog rested next to his feet near an old, worn cardboard sign that read, “Homeless, please help.”
We’d come across homeless people before and had talked about their needs and struggles. I should seize the chance to set a good example for my daughters to give a helping hand. So I searched for some cash, only to find I had nothing but credit cards. “I’m sorry, sweetheart, but I don’t have any cash,” I said. “I have some, Mom!” June replied. She opened her little pink purse and pulled out a five-dollar bill. “Oh, good. I’ll pay you back when we get home,” I responded with a sigh of relief. “No. Mom.” she insisted, “I want to help him. I don’t want you to pay me back. I want to give him my money.”
As we drove down the crowded rows of the parking lot, I reassured her that we would get to him.
When we got there. I called out, “Excuse me, sir!” He cautiously walked toward our car and answered, “Yes, ma’am?” “Here you go, sir.” June stretched out her entire body to hand him her five-dollar bill through the window and explained, “I want you to have this.” He smiled and hesitatingly asked, “This was your money?” “Yes! I want you to have it,” she proudly answered. “Thank you,” he said, touched by her thoughtfulness.
We exchanged a smile, and as we drove away, my younger daughter Scarlett began to cry. I hadn’t noticed that she had emptied her purse and was holding two quarters in her tiny hands.

8．A 9．D 10．B 11．C
本文是说明文，描述了第一个在太空种植的辣椒。
8．词义猜测题。根据第二段“The crew finally had a chance to taste the peppers after initially kicking off the plant experiment on the space station in July.(今年7月，宇航员们在空间站开始了植物实验，终于有机会品尝辣椒。)” 前一句说宇航员最终能够品尝辣椒，后文 initially表示“最初”，可知，宇航员最初开始植物实验，才能在最后收获辣椒，所以kick off的意思是“开始”，故选A项。
9．细节理解题。根据第三段“Plant Habitat-04 is one of the most complex plant experiments on the orbiting laboratory to date because peppers take much longer to grow than the previous experiment plants. (植物栖息地04是轨道实验室迄今为止最复杂的植物实验之一，因为辣椒的生长时间比之前的实验植物长得多。)” 可知，植物栖息地04最复杂的原因在于其所需要的生长时间。故选D项。
10．细节理解题。根据第五段“A side effect of life in zero gravity is that astronauts often lose some of their taste and smell, so spicy or well-seasoned foods are a favorite. Adding fresh greens or peppers to the menu allows astronauts to liven up their regular meals. (零重力生活的一个副作用是，宇航员经常会失去一些味觉和嗅觉，所以辛辣或调味好的食物是他们的最爱。在菜单中加入新鲜的绿色蔬菜或辣椒可以让宇航员的日常饮食更有活力。)”可知，在宇航员的食谱中加入辣椒是为了让他们恢复食欲。故选B项。
11．主旨大意题。根据第二段“ The International Space Station hosted a party for astronauts on Friday as they celebrated the harvest of the first Chili (辣椒) grown in space.(周五，国际空间站为宇航员举办了一个派对，庆祝第一批太空辣椒的收获。)” 可知，辣椒首次在太空被成功种植。后文紧接着说明太空辣椒的必要性，所以全文都在说太空的首次辣椒种植。故选C项。
12．B 13．D 14．B 15．C
本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了太多的小孩子超重的问题，并解释相关的原因。
12．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“When they get home, they sit in front of the television or their computers and play computer games. Not only is this an unhealthy pastime (消遣), it also gives them time to eat more unhealthy food.(当他们回到家，他们坐在电视机前或电脑前玩电脑游戏。这不仅是一种不健康的消遣，也给了他们时间吃更多不健康的食物)”可知，经常看电视的孩子可能会吃更多不健康的食物。 故选B。
13．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Some people blame the fact that we are surrounded by shops selling unhealthy, fatty foods, such as fried chicken and ice cream, at low prices.(一些人指责我们周围的商店出售不健康的，高脂肪的食品，如廉价的炸鸡和冰淇淋)”可知，作者认为孩子们越来越胖是因为周围有太多的快餐店。 故选D。
14．词句猜测题。根据最后一段可知，为了解决孩子太胖的问题，需要让孩子们远离快餐店和不良饮食习惯。B和C两个选项在意思和语法上都是对的，但是对待孩子应该引导，而不是驱赶，所以B选项更好。 故选B。
15．主旨大意题。文章分析了几个使孩子变胖的因素并提出了如何控制孩子变胖的建议，目的是建议让孩子让孩子们远离快餐店和不良饮食习惯。故选C。
16．G 17．E 18．F 19．A 20．D
本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了运动后降温的重要性和方法。
16．根据前文“We are taught from childhood that warming up is a must in preparation for any exercise. It allows us to prepare our muscles for the strain（拉力）we are about to place on them and prevent injury.(我们从小就被教导说，在做任何运动前热身都是必须的。它可以让我们的肌肉为即将发生的紧张做好准备，防止受伤。)”和后句“These all prepare for an effective workout.(这些都是为有效的锻炼做准备。)”可知，这里应该继续介绍热身的好处。所以选择项G“More importantly, it steadily increases the heart rate and blood flow.(更重要的是，它能稳步增加心率和血液流量。)”符合上下文语境。故选G。
17．根据上文运动前热身的好处和后句“It prevents dizziness, helps return the heart rate back to normal and prevents chronic venous insufficiency（CVI）. (它可以防止头晕，帮助心率恢复正常，防止慢性静脉功能不全(CVI)。)”可知，不但要热身，也要降温。所以选择项E“But cooling down is as important as warming up. (但是降温和热身同样重要。)”符合上下文语境。此句为承上启下句。故选E。
18．根据前句“According to many health and fitness instructors, the total cool-down period should last 3 to 10 minutes, or until you are ready to stop.(根据许多健康和健身教练的说法，总的冷却时间应该持续3到10分钟，或者直到你准备好停止了。)”和后句“For example, if you have been working your legs, you will need to do lower body stretches or a slow walk. (例如，如果你一直在锻炼你的腿，你将需要做下半身伸展运动或慢走。)”可知，不同部位的冷却时间取决于你训练的身体部位。所以选择项F“Areas to target depend on which part of the body you have trained. (目标部位取决于你训练的身体部位。)”符合上下文语境。故选F。
19．根据前句“There is no research to prove stretching after a session will help reduce pain, but if you feel it helps, do so. (没有研究证明在一个疗程后做伸展运动有助于减轻疼痛，但如果你觉得有帮助，那就做吧。)”可知，根据个人喜好，觉得怎么可以减轻疼痛就怎么做。所以选择项A“It is down to personal preference. (这取决于个人喜好。)”符合上下文语境。故选A。
20．根据前句“Cooling down methods, including foam rollers, a sports massage or dry needling, are worth investigating.(降温方法，包括泡沫剂，运动按摩或干针刺，都值得研究。)”和后句“If the pain is there the next day, consult your doctor, and, more importantly, warm up more thoroughly next time. (如果第二天还感到疼痛，请咨询你的医生，更重要的是，下次要做更彻底的热身。)”可知，本段介绍降温的方法，但伸展时有疼痛就要停止。所以选择项D“If you experience any pain when stretching, stop. (如果你在伸展时感到疼痛，停止。)”符合上下文语境。故选D。
21．B 22．C 23．B 24．A 25．C 26．D 27．B 28．D 29．A 30．D 31．A 32．B 33．A 34．C 35．D

47． “Mom, I wanted to help, too,” she sobbed. I sighed and drove back to where we saw the man. But what could be found was only the guitar leaning against the wall. After 20 minutes’ search, outside a KFC, we spotted the man talking to an old granny with a walking stick. We were so happy that we ran towards him, “ So you are here. I’m looking for you.” said Scarlett.
Now with tears in his eyes, he said in disbelief, “You want to help me?” She said, “Yes, I want to help you as my elder sister did, but I couldn’t find you.” “The old granny wanted to buy food in the KFC, but she had difficulty in walking. So I helped her.” he said. Scarlett said , “You’re so kind. Here is the money that I want to give you.” The man accepted it and said with appreciation, “Thank you. Hope you have a good day.” Then we waved him goodbye and left for home.

A
Now, a new study has uncovered a simple physical rule that governs ant rafts (蚂蚁筏): shrink and expand. The discovery could one day lead to the design of robots that work in groups.
Individually, ants are not as smart as people think, but collectively, they can form very smart and flexible organizations. For example, after storms in the southeastern United States, fire ants form giant floating rafts to survive rough waters.
Researchers used mathematical models to work out the mechanics behind these floating rafts. They found that the faster the ants on a raft moved, the more the raft expanded outwards, often forming long stretches. This behavior is automatic in nature and does not require any central decision making.
The researchers also conducted experiments to uncover the secrets of the ant raft. They put thousands of fire ants in a bucket of water with a plastic stick in the middle, and they waited.
What they eventually saw was that rafts started to form, and instead of these structures staying the same shape over time, they kept shrinking and expanding until they formed dense colonies. Sometimes the ants spread out like pancake batter (面糊) on a frying pan, and sometimes they shrank to form bridges. Each ant raft was made up of two layers. At the bottom, structural ants stuck together to form a base. Above them was a second layer of ants, which were free to walk on top of other ants. Over a period of time, ants climbed from the bottom to the top.
When they let the game play out, researchers found simulated (模拟的) ant rafts behaved like they were in the real world. The more the ants walked, the more likely they were to form long stretches stretching out from the raft, like people gathering for the exit in a crowded stadium.
Research on fire ants will hopefully help understand how simple rules can be written to instruct robot show to interact with others to achieve targeted group responses.
1．What plays an important role in the size of ant rafts?
A．The speed of ants. B．The central decision.
C．The division of labor. D．The number of ants.
2．What is mainly discussed about ant rafts in the fifth paragraph?
A．Size B．Function. C．Shape. D．Formation.
3．Which column of a magazine is this article most likely from?

Educator and civil rights activist Mary McLeod Bethune will soon make history as the first black person to have a statue in the U. S. Capitol’s Statuary Hall, when her statue replaces that of a general.
Bethune, the daughter of formerly enslaved people, was an influential educator and activist who founded the National Council of Negro Women, advised multiple U. S. presidents and created a boarding school for black children that would later become Bethune-Cookman University in Daytona Beach.
The 11-foot statue weighs more than 6,000 1bs…It was created by artist Nilda Comas, who was chosen from a field of 1,600 applicants and is the first Hispanic master sculptor to create a statue for the National Statuary Hall State Collection. Before she started sculpting, Comas conducted a four-year thorough research, which she called “a beautiful journey.”
The statue features Bethune wearing a cap and long dress and a pearl necklace, holding a black rose in one hand and a walking stick in the other. She’s standing in front of a pile of books, with a warm smile and what one local reporter described as eyes that “register wisdom kindness.”
The base of the statue is inscribed(铭刻)with her name, her home state, birth and death dates, as well as one of her most famous quotes, “Invest in the human soul. Who knows, it may be a diamond in the rough.”
The black rose represents Bethune’s work in education, as well as her belief that “loving thy neighbor” required interracial, inter-religious and international brotherhood, according to a nonprofit organization.
“Although there is no species of flower called a ‘black rose’, Dr. Bethune was attracted by beauty of a rose with a particular dark colour,” it explained. “These dark roses instantly became her favorite. She thereafter referred to her pupils as her ‘black roses’”
4．Why has Bethune’s statue been set up?
A．Because she offered much advice to US presidents.
B．Because she was the first black person to be a general.
C．Because she created the first university for black people.
D．Because she was a distinguished black educator and activist.
5．What are Para.3 and 4.mainly about?
A．The size of the statue. B．The research of the statue.
C．The creation of the statue. D．The choosing of the sculptor.
6．What does “black rose” in Para. 6 stand for?
A．Bethune’s famous·quotes. B．Bethune’s devotion and faith.
C．Bethune’s wisdom and kindness. D．Bethune’s investment and religion.
7．What do we know about Bethune?
A．A shaper of human soul. B．A founder of a nonprofit.
C．An 'educator for African women. D．A builder of modern university.

Humans have been living and working on the space station for 20 years. Their meals are packaged, though sometimes astronauts receive fresh treats from resupply missions. The longer that packaged food is stored, the more it loses nutrients like vitamin C and vitamin K.
Astronauts have successfully grown 10 different crops on the space station since 2015 and had the chance to sample each one. The International Space Station hosted a party for astronauts on Friday as they celebrated the harvest of the first Chili (辣椒) grown in space. The crew finally had a chance to taste the peppers after initially kicking off the plant experiment on the space station in July.
Plant Habitat-04 is one of the most complex plant experiments on the orbiting laboratory to date because peppers take much longer to grow than the previous experiment plants. After growing for four months, the peppers were harvested on Friday.
Peppers provide a great source of vitamin C, as well as other key nutrients. Pepper plants self-pollinate, so they are easy to grow, and they are a pick-and-eat crop that doesn’t have to be cooked. They are also safe to eat raw.
A side effect of life in zero gravity is that astronauts often lose some of their taste and smell, so spicy or well-seasoned foods are a favorite. Adding fresh greens or peppers to the menu allows astronauts to liven up their regular meals. But growing and tending to the plants can also produce other benefits.
Astronauts have described the joy from seeing—as well as smelling and caring for—leafy green plants on the space station that remind them of Earth.
“Growing colorful vegetables in space can have long-term benefits for physical and psychological health,” said Matt Romeyn, principal investigator for the experiment.” We are discovering that growing plants and vegetables with colors and smells helps to improve astronauts’ well-being.”
8．What does underlined “kicking off” in the 2nd paragraph mean?
A．Launch. B．Complete. C．Quit. D．Announce.
9．What makes Plant Habitat-04 one of the most complex plant experiments?
A．The technology. B．Growing process.
C．The varieties of plants. D．Growing time required.
10．Why are peppers added to the menu for astronauts?
A．They are delicious. B．They restore their appetite.
C．They help kill diseases. D．They improve their memory.
11．What is the suitable title for the text ?
A．The Fun in the Space Life
B．The Common Goal in the Space Mission
C．The First Chili Peppers Grown in Space
D．A Research Finding from the Space Mission

Many facts suggest that children are overweight and the situation is getting worse, according to the doctors. I feel there are a number of reasons for this.
Some people blame the fact that we are surrounded by shops selling unhealthy, fatty foods, such as fried chicken and ice cream, at low prices. This has turned out a whole generation of grown-ups who seldom cook a meal for themselves. If there were fewer of these restaurants, then probably children would buy less take-away food.
There is another argument that blames parents for allowing their children to become overweight. I agree with this, because good eating habits begin early in life, long before children start to visit fast food shops. If children are given fried chicken and chocolate rather than healthy food, or are always allowed to choose what they eat, they will go for sweet and salty foods every time, and this will carry on throughout their lives.
There is a third reason for this situation. Children these days take very little exercise. They do not walk to school. When they get home, they sit in front of the television or their computers and play computer games. Not only is this an unhealthy pastime (消遣), it also gives them time to eat more unhealthy food. What they need is to go outside and play active games or sports.
The above are the main reasons for this problem, and therefore we have to encourage young people to be more active, as well as steering them away from fast food shops and bad eating habits.
12．According to the text, what kind of children may eat more unhealthy food?
A．Those who often take exercise.
B．Those who often watch television.
C．Those who often have meals at home.
D．Those who often walk to school.
13．The author thinks that children are becoming overweight because .
A．their parents often cook meals for them
B．they are too busy to go out and play
C．they can't choose what to eat
D．there are too many fast food shops around
14．The word "steering" underlined in the last sentence most probably means _______.
A．forcing B．guiding
C．driving D．moving
15．The main purpose of the text is to _________.
A．tell a story B．provide facts
C．give advice D．compare opinions

We are taught from childhood that warming up is a must in preparation for any exercise. It allows us to prepare our muscles for the strain（拉力）we are about to place on them and prevent injury.____16____These all prepare for an effective workout.
____17____It prevents dizziness, helps return the heart rate back to normal and prevents chronic venous insufficiency（CVI）. Also known as "blood pooling", CVI occurs when the blood in blood vessels（血管）expands during prolonged exercise, making it difficult for it to return to the heart from the legs.
According to many health and fitness instructors, the total cool-down period should last 3 to 10 minutes, or until you are ready to stop.____18____For example, if you have been working your legs, you will need to do lower body stretches or a slow walk. There are many helpful tutorials online.
The best way to measure whether you have cooled down effectively is purely based on common sense—if you feel your heart rate has reduced, that's enough. There is no research to prove stretching after a session will help reduce pain, but if you feel it helps, do so.____19____
Cooling down methods, including foam rollers, a sports massage or dry needling, are worth investigating.____20____If the pain is there the next day, consult your doctor, and, more importantly, warm up more thoroughly next time.
A．It is down to personal preference.
B．Fast walking is the simplest exercise.
C．If you are not flexible, lower your upper body.
D．If you experience any pain when stretching, stop.
E．But cooling down is as important as warming up.
F．Areas to target depend on which part of the body you have trained.
G．More importantly, it steadily increases the heart rate and blood flow.

So we decided to ____30____ help. We learned from the counselor（咨询师） that love is ____31____ and we shouldn't ask the same empty questions like: “How was your day?” ____32____ , we can ask questions like: When did you feel loved or lonely today? A ____33____ question is a key that will unlock a room inside the person you love.

“Time waits for no man”—or so the saying goes. We can’t stop time and we can’t control ______36______, although sometimes, in our minds, we think time flies. But if this year ______37______ particular feels like it’s passing more quickly than others have done, there could be a scientific ______38______ (explain).
Of course, we know a year is usually 365 days long. Clever scientists calculated this a long time ago. They also worked out that every four years, we need an extra day ______39______ (call) a leap year to keep our calendar in sync (同步). But 2021 isn’t one of those years, and yet it’s not behaving like ______40______ normal year. Scientists have done the math and discovered the Earth is moving faster than it ever has in the last 50 years, ______41______ means that 2021 is going to be the shortest year in decades.
Apparently, this is ______42______ the Earth is spinning faster, quicker than it has done in decades, and the days are therefore shorter. But they are only short by a tiny amount—around 0.05 milliseconds—so don’t panic if you haven’t noticed! However, long-term these milliseconds add up. Graham Jones from Time and Date told The Independent newspaper: “If the Earth’s rotation continues to ______43______ (quick), we may at some point require a negative leap second.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
“Go back, Mom! Go back!” shouted my six-year-old daughter, June. I quickly turned around to cast my doubtful eyes on the back seat, worried I had forgotten her younger sister. I was relieved to see the girls safe and sit in their car seats, but June’s expression was one of pure anxiety. “Mom, we have to go back,” she insisted. “Someone needs our help!”
As I looked back from the driver’s seat, I spotted a young man in rags playing his guitar. His skinny, poor-looking dog rested next to his feet near an old, worn cardboard sign that read, “Homeless, please help.”
We’d come across homeless people before and had talked about their needs and struggles. I should seize the chance to set a good example for my daughters to give a helping hand. So I searched for some cash, only to find I had nothing but credit cards. “I’m sorry, sweetheart, but I don’t have any cash,” I said. “I have some, Mom!” June replied. She opened her little pink purse and pulled out a five-dollar bill. “Oh, good. I’ll pay you back when we get home,” I responded with a sigh of relief. “No. Mom.” she insisted, “I want to help him. I don’t want you to pay me back. I want to give him my money.”
As we drove down the crowded rows of the parking lot, I reassured her that we would get to him.
When we got there. I called out, “Excuse me, sir!” He cautiously walked toward our car and answered, “Yes, ma’am?” “Here you go, sir.” June stretched out her entire body to hand him her five-dollar bill through the window and explained, “I want you to have this.” He smiled and hesitatingly asked, “This was your money?” “Yes! I want you to have it,” she proudly answered. “Thank you,” he said, touched by her thoughtfulness.
We exchanged a smile, and as we drove away, my younger daughter Scarlett began to cry. I hadn’t noticed that she had emptied her purse and was holding two quarters in her tiny hands.

参考答案
1．A 2．D 3．C
这是一篇说明文。文章主要通过介绍科学家们运用物理规则研究蚂蚁筏，从而发现这对于机器人的设计也会起到重要作用。
1．细节理解题。根据文章第四段第二句话“They found that the faster the ants on a raft moved, the more the raft expanded outwards, often forming long stretches.（他们发现，木筏上的蚂蚁移动地越快，木筏就越向外扩展，通常形成长长的延伸。）”可知，木筏上蚂蚁的移动速度会影响木筏的变化。因此，在蚂蚁筏的大小中，蚂蚁的速度起着重要的作用。故选A项。
2．主旨大意题。根据文章第五段第一句话“What they eventually saw was that rafts started to form, and instead of these structures staying the same shape over time, they kept shrinking and expanding until they formed dense colonies.（他们最终看到的是木筏开始形成，随着时间的推移，这些结构没有保持相同的形状，而是不断缩小和膨胀，直到他们形成密集的殖民地。）”可知，本段主要介绍的是蚂蚁筏的形成过程。故选D项。
3．推理判断题。根据文章第一段第一句话“Now, a new study has uncovered a simple physical rule that governs ant rafts (蚂蚁筏): shrink and expand.

4．推理判断题。根据第二段“Bethune, the daughter of formerly enslaved people, was an influential educator and activist who founded the National Council of Negro Women, advised multiple U. S. presidents and created a boarding school for black children that would later become Bethune-Cookman University in Daytona Beach.”（白求恩，曾经是奴隶的女儿，是一位有影响力的教育家和活动家，她成立了全国黑人妇女理事会，为多位美国总统提供建议，并为黑人儿童创办了一所寄宿学校，即后来在代托纳比奇的白求恩-库克曼大学。）推知，给Bethune设立雕像是因为她是一位杰出的黑人教育家和活动家。故选D项。

Before she started sculpting, Comas conducted a four-year thorough research, which she called “a beautiful journey.””（这座11英尺高的雕像重逾6000磅，由艺术家Nilda Comas从1600名申请者中挑选出来创作，他是第一位为国家雕像馆国家收藏中心创作雕像的西班牙裔雕刻大师。在开始雕刻之前，科玛斯进行了为期四年的彻底研究，她称这是一次“美丽的旅程”。）以及第四段“The statue features Bethune wearing a cap and long dress and a pearl necklace, holding a black rose in one hand and a walking stick in the other. She’s standing in front of a pile of books, with a warm smile and what one local reporter described as eyes that “register wisdom kindness.””（白求恩戴着帽子，穿着长裙，戴着珍珠项链，一只手拿着一朵黑玫瑰，另一只手拿着一根手杖。她站在一堆书前，带着温暖的微笑，用一位当地记者的话说，她的眼睛“流露出智慧和善良”。）可知，这两段主要讲了雕像的创作。故选C项。
6．词句猜测题。根据第六段“The black rose represents Bethune’s work in education, as well as her belief that “loving thy neighbor” required interracial, inter-religious and international brotherhood, according to a nonprofit organization.（据一家非盈利组织称，黑玫瑰代表白求恩在教育方面的工作，以及她认为“爱你的邻居”需要跨种族、跨宗教和国际的兄弟情谊。）可知，black rose指的是白求恩在教育方面的奉献和她“博爱”的信仰。故选B项。
7．推理判断题。根据第二段“Bethune, the daughter of formerly enslaved people, was an influential educator and activist who founded the National Council of Negro Women, advised multiple U. S. presidents and created a boarding school for black children that would later become Bethune-Cookman University in Daytona Beach.”（白求恩，曾经是奴隶的女儿，是一位有影响力的教育家和活动家，她成立了全国黑人妇女理事会，为多位美国总统提供建议，并为黑人儿童创办了一所寄宿学校，即后来在代托纳比奇的白求恩-库克曼大学。）可知，她的一生都在致力于对儿童和妇女运动的贡献。结合选项A“人类灵魂的塑造者”符合题意。BCD都与文章实意不符。故选A项。
8．A 9．D 10．B 11．C
本文是说明文，描述了第一个在太空种植的辣椒。
8．词义猜测题。根据第二段“The crew finally had a chance to taste the peppers after initially kicking off the plant experiment on the space station in July.(今年7月，宇航员们在空间站开始了植物实验，终于有机会品尝辣椒。)” 前一句说宇航员最终能够品尝辣椒，后文 initially表示“最初”，可知，宇航员最初开始植物实验，才能在最后收获辣椒，所以kick off的意思是“开始”，故选A项。
9．细节理解题。根据第三段“Plant Habitat-04 is one of the most complex plant experiments on the orbiting laboratory to date because peppers take much longer to grow than the previous experiment plants. (植物栖息地04是轨道实验室迄今为止最复杂的植物实验之一，因为辣椒的生长时间比之前的实验植物长得多。)” 可知，植物栖息地04最复杂的原因在于其所需要的生长时间。故选D项。
10．细节理解题。根据第五段“A side effect of life in zero gravity is that astronauts often lose some of their taste and smell, so spicy or well-seasoned foods are a favorite. Adding fresh greens or peppers to the menu allows astronauts to liven up their regular meals. (零重力生活的一个副作用是，宇航员经常会失去一些味觉和嗅觉，所以辛辣或调味好的食物是他们的最爱。在菜单中加入新鲜的绿色蔬菜或辣椒可以让宇航员的日常饮食更有活力。)”可知，在宇航员的食谱中加入辣椒是为了让他们恢复食欲。故选B项。
11．主旨大意题。根据第二段“ The International Space Station hosted a party for astronauts on Friday as they celebrated the harvest of the first Chili (辣椒) grown in space.(周五，国际空间站为宇航员举办了一个派对，庆祝第一批太空辣椒的收获。)” 可知，辣椒首次在太空被成功种植。后文紧接着说明太空辣椒的必要性，所以全文都在说太空的首次辣椒种植。故选C项。
12．B 13．D 14．B 15．C
本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了太多的小孩子超重的问题，并解释相关的原因。
12．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“When they get home, they sit in front of the television or their computers and play computer games. Not only is this an unhealthy pastime (消遣), it also gives them time to eat more unhealthy food.(当他们回到家，他们坐在电视机前或电脑前玩电脑游戏。这不仅是一种不健康的消遣，也给了他们时间吃更多不健康的食物)”可知，经常看电视的孩子可能会吃更多不健康的食物。 故选B。
13．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Some people blame the fact that we are surrounded by shops selling unhealthy, fatty foods, such as fried chicken and ice cream, at low prices.(一些人指责我们周围的商店出售不健康的，高脂肪的食品，如廉价的炸鸡和冰淇淋)”可知，作者认为孩子们越来越胖是因为周围有太多的快餐店。 故选D。
14．词句猜测题。根据最后一段可知，为了解决孩子太胖的问题，需要让孩子们远离快餐店和不良饮食习惯。B和C两个选项在意思和语法上都是对的，但是对待孩子应该引导，而不是驱赶，所以B选项更好。 故选B。
15．主旨大意题。文章分析了几个使孩子变胖的因素并提出了如何控制孩子变胖的建议，目的是建议让孩子让孩子们远离快餐店和不良饮食习惯。故选C。
16．G 17．E 18．F 19．A 20．D

16．根据前文“We are taught from childhood that warming up is a must in preparation for any exercise. It allows us to prepare our muscles for the strain（拉力）we are about to place on them and prevent injury.(我们从小就被教导说，在做任何运动前热身都是必须的。它可以让我们的肌肉为即将发生的紧张做好准备，防止受伤。)”和后句“These all prepare for an effective workout.(这些都是为有效的锻炼做准备。)”可知，这里应该继续介绍热身的好处。所以选择项G“More importantly, it steadily increases the heart rate and blood flow.(更重要的是，它能稳步增加心率和血液流量。)”符合上下文语境。故选G。
17．根据上文运动前热身的好处和后句“It prevents dizziness, helps return the heart rate back to normal and prevents chronic venous insufficiency（CVI）. (它可以防止头晕，帮助心率恢复正常，防止慢性静脉功能不全(CVI)。)”可知，不但要热身，也要降温。所以选择项E“But cooling down is as important as warming up. (但是降温和热身同样重要。)”符合上下文语境。此句为承上启下句。故选E。
18．根据前句“According to many health and fitness instructors, the total cool-down period should last 3 to 10 minutes, or until you are ready to stop.(根据许多健康和健身教练的说法，总的冷却时间应该持续3到10分钟，或者直到你准备好停止了。)”和后句“For example, if you have been working your legs, you will need to do lower body stretches or a slow walk. (例如，如果你一直在锻炼你的腿，你将需要做下半身伸展运动或慢走。)”可知，不同部位的冷却时间取决于你训练的身体部位。所以选择项F“Areas to target depend on which part of the body you have trained. (目标部位取决于你训练的身体部位。)”符合上下文语境。故选F。
19．根据前句“There is no research to prove stretching after a session will help reduce pain, but if you feel it helps, do so. (没有研究证明在一个疗程后做伸展运动有助于减轻疼痛，但如果你觉得有帮助，那就做吧。)”可知，根据个人喜好，觉得怎么可以减轻疼痛就怎么做。所以选择项A“It is down to personal preference. (这取决于个人喜好。)”符合上下文语境。故选A。
20．根据前句“Cooling down methods, including foam rollers, a sports massage or dry needling, are worth investigating.(降温方法，包括泡沫剂，运动按摩或干针刺，都值得研究。)”和后句“If the pain is there the next day, consult your doctor, and, more importantly, warm up more thoroughly next time. (如果第二天还感到疼痛，请咨询你的医生，更重要的是，下次要做更彻底的热身。)”可知，本段介绍降温的方法，但伸展时有疼痛就要停止。所以选择项D“If you experience any pain when stretching, stop. (如果你在伸展时感到疼痛，停止。)”符合上下文语境。故选D。
21．B 22．C 23．B 24．A 25．C 26．D 27．B 28．D 29．A 30．D 31．A 32．B 33．A 34．C 35．D

47． “Mom, I wanted to help, too,” she sobbed. I sighed and drove back to where we saw the man. But what could be found was only the guitar leaning against the wall. After 20 minutes’ search, outside a KFC, we spotted the man talking to an old granny with a walking stick. We were so happy that we ran towards him, “ So you are here. I’m looking for you.” said Scarlett.
Now with tears in his eyes, he said in disbelief, “You want to help me?” She said, “Yes, I want to help you as my elder sister did, but I couldn’t find you.” “The old granny wanted to buy food in the KFC, but she had difficulty in walking. So I helped her.” he said. Scarlett said , “You’re so kind. Here is the money that I want to give you.” The man accepted it and said with appreciation, “Thank you. Hope you have a good day.” Then we waved him goodbye and left for home.
