He was a few years into a new passion: scuba (水肺) diving. He says spending time under water is like visiting an alien planet full of strange creatures.‎ Dylan grew up in Maple Valley Washington, just outside of the liberal blue bubble of Seattle. Dylan learned young how to hunt and do farm work. On October 31, 2012, he decided to marry his love of scuba diving with his desire to be self-sufficient and harvest his own food. That gray morning, the goal was to pull a giant pacific octopus from its den, wrestle it to the surface and take it home for dinner.‎ He and a friend headed to the popular dive site at Cove 2 in West Seattle. With his bare hands, Dylan caught an 80-pound cephalopod (头足类动物). “The key is to stay calm. Once you start to panic, you’ll drown,” said Dylan, recalling his 45-minute hand-to-tentacle (触须) battle with the octopus.‎ But when he hauled it out of the water, people nearby didn’t look very happy. Dylan and his dive partner threw the octopus in the back of their truck and quickly left the scene.‎ Even though what Dylan did was perfectly legal and even though octopus is on restaurant menus all over the Northwest, the taking of this particular octopus touched a nerve. Adult members of the diving community that Dylan was so excited to be a part of not only roundly rejected him, but also threatened to kill him and his family. However, one diver from the Cove 2 community rose above the criticism to guide this young diver.‎ ‎1. What did Dylan Mayer decide to do on October 31, 2012?‎ A. To get married. B. To grow his own food.‎ C. To support himself by diving. D. To pull a giant pacific octopus.‎ ‎2. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?‎ A. Dylan went to Cove 2 alone.‎ B. Dylan spent 54 minutes catching the octopus.‎ C. Dylan attached great importance to keeping calm.‎ D. Dylan caught a cephalopod with some equipment.‎ ‎3. What were people’s reactions to Dylan’s taking of the octopus?‎ A. Not all people liked it.‎ B. People nearby were very satisfied.‎ C. Adult members of the diving community were very excited.‎ D. Nobody liked it because they thought it was against the law.‎ ‎【答案】1. C 2. C 3. A ‎【解析】‎ 这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了2012年时19岁的Dylan Mayer决定要以潜水作为自己谋生方式，在他与朋友捕捞到一头80磅的章鱼时，周围的人并不是很开心。而一位来自cove 2潜水社区的潜水员准备引导这位年轻的潜水员进行一些正确的潜水活动。‎ ‎【1题详解】‎ 细节理解题。文中第二段第三句可知“On October 31, 2012, he decided to marry his love of scuba diving with his desire to be self-sufficient and harvest his own ‎ food.”他决定将自己的热爱贡献给潜水，并且通过自给自足来获取食物。即他决定要通过潜水来谋生，而不是和潜水结婚。故选C。‎ ‎【2题详解】‎ 细节理解题。文中第三段第一句提到“He and a friend…”，是他和他朋友一起去潜水的，而不是一个人，故A项错误。第三段最后一句提到“his 45-minute hand-to-tentacle”，他和章鱼缠斗了45分钟，而不是54分钟，故B项错误。第三段第二句提到“With his bare hands, Dylan caught an 80-pound cephalopod”，他赤手空拳地抓住了一头80磅的章鱼，即没有使用任何工具，故D项错误。第三段第三句提到“The key is to stay calm…”他说最重要的是保持冷静，C项符合文意，故选C。‎ ‎【3题详解】‎ 细节理解题。第四段第一句提到“people nearby didn’t look very happy”，附近的人看到他抓到章鱼后都不是很开心，说明并不是所有人都喜欢他这样的行为。A项符合文意，故选A。‎ B From Mozart to Metallica, tons of people enjoy listening to various types of music while they paint, write, or draw. Many believe that music helps boost creativity, but an international study conducted by English and Swedish researchers is challenging that belief. Their findings indicate music actually stymies creativity.‎ To come to their conclusions, researchers had participants complete verbal insight problems designed to inspire creativity while sitting in a quiet room, and then again while music played in the background. They found that background music “significantly damaged” the participants’ ability to complete tasks associated with verbal creativity. The research team also tested background noises such as those commonly heard in a library, but found that such noises had no impact on subjects’ creativity. The tasks were simple word games. For example, participants were given three words, such as dress, dial, and flower. Then, they were asked to find a single word associated with all three that could be combined to form a common phrase or word. The single word, in this case, would be “sun” (sundress, sunflower, etc). Participants completed the tasks in either a quiet room, or while exposed to three different types of music; music with unfamiliar lyrics, instrumental music,‎ ‎ or music with familiar lyrics.‎ ‎“We found strong evidence of damaged performance when playing background music in comparison to quiet background conditions,” says co-author Dr. Neil McLatchie of Lancaster University.‎ Dr. McLatchie and his colleagues theorize that music interferes with the verbal working memory processes of the brain, blocking creativity. Also, as far as the library background noises having seemingly no effect, the study’s authors believe that was the case because library noises create a “steady state” environment that doesn’t disrupt concentration. It’s worth mentioning that even familiar music with well known lyrics damaged participants’ creativity, regardless of whether or not it caused a positive reaction, or whether participants typically studied or created while listening to music.‎ ‎“To conclude, the findings here challenge the popular view that music strengthens creativity, and instead demonstrate that music, regardless of the presence of semantic (语义的) content (no lyrics, familiar lyrics or unfamiliar lyrics), consistently disrupts creative performance in insight problem solving,” the study reads.‎ ‎4 Why are Mozart and Metallica mentioned at the beginning?‎ A. To prove they are very creative. B. To introduce the topic of the text.‎ C. To show the importance of music. D. To offer some background information.‎ ‎5. What does the underlined word “stymies” in the first paragraph probably mean?‎ A. Blocks. B. Boosts.‎ C. Inspires. D. Strengthens.‎ ‎6. If the participants were given the words fire, place and book during the game, a proper answer could be .‎ A. man B. store C. work D. birth ‎7. What do we know about the study?‎ A. The tasks were very difficult for participants to finish.‎ B. All participants were exposed to two different types of music.‎ C. Music with famous lyrics didn’t harm participants’ creativity.‎ D. Library background noises hardly affected participants’ creativity.‎ ‎【答案】4. B 5. A 6. C 7. D ‎【解析】‎ 这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了音乐对于人们创造力激发可能会起到阻碍作用。实验团队通过实验发现，音乐会阻碍人们在文字上的创造力，然而经常在图书馆听到的噪音却不会对人造成影响，因为图书馆内的声音处于较为稳定的状态。总而言之，研究发现无论歌词多么的好音乐都会阻碍人们的创造力。‎ ‎【4题详解】‎ 细节理解题。文中第一段提到“Many believe that music helps boost creativity, but an international study conducted by English and Swedish researchers is challenging that belief.”作者以莫扎特的音乐为例，人们在画画、写作的时候都会听音乐，很多人认为音乐会帮助他们激发创造力，然而英国和瑞士的一项研究却发现事实正好相反。另外，分析文章可知，本文为说明文，文章第一段通过举例子来引出文章的主旨，B项符合题意，故选B。‎ ‎【5题详解】‎ 词义猜测题。文中第一段第二句提到“Many believe that music helps boost creativity, but an international study conducted by English and Swedish researchers is challenging that belief.”大多数人都认为音乐能刺激创造力，但一项研究表明他们的发现可能会挑战大多数人的信仰，即音乐反而会阻碍人们的创造力。A. Blocks.阻碍、限制，B. Boosts.增加、提高，C. Inspires.激发，D. Strengthens.加强。A项符合文意，故选A。‎ ‎【6题详解】‎ 推理判断题。文章第二段提到“participants were given three words, such as dress, dial, and flower. Then, they were asked to find a single word associated with all three that could be combined to form a common phrase or word.”在这项实验中，实验者会给被试者三个单词，然后要求被试者找出和这三个单词相关联的词，同时还可以组成共同的短语或词。根据题意，work与这三个词可以组成相关联的词：fire+work=firework烟火，place+work=workplace工作场所，book+work=workbook练习册，C项符合题意，故选C。‎ ‎【7题详解】‎ 细节理解题。文中第二段提到“The tasks were simple word games.”实验采用的是非常简单的单词游戏，故A项错误。第二段最后一句提到“Participants completed the tasks in either a quiet room, or while exposed to three different types of music”被试者要么在安静的房间内，要么就被暴露在三种不一样的音乐中，而不是两种。故B项错误。最后一段提到“…regardless of the presence of semantic (语义的) content (no lyrics, familiar lyrics or unfamiliar lyrics)”这一实验打破了人们对于音乐可以激发创造力的看法，同时提到无论哪种音乐都会阻碍到人们的创造力，故C项错误。第四段提到“the library background noises having seemingly no effect, the study’s authors believe that was the case because library noises create a “steady state” environment that doesn’t disrupt concentration”，图书馆内的背景音乐对于人们的创造力似乎没有什么影响，因为这种声音一直都是保持一个稳定的状态，是不会打扰到人们注意力的集中。D项符合文意，故选D。‎ C Heart disease is one of the major killers in the world today. Many who suffer from it must have heart transplants. However, it’s difficult to get a suitable heart donation, and even if a patient survives the wait, his or her body often rejects the heart.‎ But there is now new hope for sufferers of heart disease. According to a study published in the journal Advanced Science, researchers from Israel’s Tel Aviv University printed a 3D human heart on April 15.‎ ‎“This is the first time anyone anywhere has successfully engineered and printed an entire heart,” professor Tal Dvir told CNN. Unlike the previous 3D-printed heart structure, the new heart is complete with cells, blood vessels, chambers and other structures a heart needs to function normally. But scientists still have more to figure out before the 3D-printed heart can be fitted into the body. For one thing, the experimental heart is only the size of a thumb. And, although it can contract like a muscle, it cannot pump out blood like a real one. At present, the heart prototype is like a tiny airplane that has all of the right parts, but can’t fly.‎ However, the development is still regarded as a major breakthrough in medicine.‎ In the experiment, the researchers turned human fat tissue into human heart ‎ tissue with stem cell technology. The tissue was then turned into “bio-ink” for a 3D printer to ensure that tissue in the heart came from the patients themselves. So ideally, if it were to be placed in the body of someone in need of a transplant, there would be less risk of organ rejection. “Patients will no longer have to wait for transplants or take medications to prevent their rejection,” researchers told USA Today. “Instead, the needed heart will be printed, fully personalized for every patient.”‎ But the scientists think that 3D printing can be used to create other human organs. They foresee a time when the 3D printing of organs will be an everyday medical practice. “Maybe, in 10 years, there will be organ printers in the finest hospitals around the world and these procedures will be conducted routinely,” Dvir said.‎ ‎8. Why do scientists have to do further research before fitting the 3D-printed heart into the body?‎ A. Because the heart is incomplete.‎ B. Because the heart can’t pump out blood.‎ C. Because the heart is an airplane that can’t fly.‎ D. Because the heart can’t contract like a muscle.‎ ‎9. What can we infer from the last two paragraphs?‎ A. The needed heart will be printed to meet every patient’s need.‎ B. The 3D printing of organs will be an unusual medical practice.‎ C. Dvir has a negative attitude towards the future of organ printers.‎ D. Patients will need medicines to stop their rejection for their heart transplant.‎ ‎10. What can serve as the best title for the passage?‎ A. Organ printers in the hospitals.‎ B. How to get a suitable heart donation.‎ C. Heart disease: one of the major killers.‎ D. A 3D-printed heart: new hope for heart disease sufferers.‎ ‎【答案】8. B 9. A 10. D ‎【解析】‎ 这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了3D打印心脏的实验研究。3D打印心脏与正常心脏无异，虽然有其他的组织可以作用在打印心脏上，但3D心脏不能自主跳动供血，这就好像没有翅膀的飞机一样。同时，研究者也提出3D打印也可以运用到其他器官上，并可以将3D打印运用到日常医疗中。‎ ‎8题详解】‎ 细节理解题。第三段倒数第二句提到“For one thing, the experimental heart is only the size of a thumb. And, although it can contract like a muscle, it cannot pump out blood like a real one.”实验心脏只有拇指大小，而且实验心脏无法像真的心脏那样泵血，B项符合文意，故选B。‎ ‎【9题详解】‎ 推理判断题。倒数第二段最后一句提到“Instead, the needed heart will be printed, fully personalized for every patient.”需要的心脏将会根据每一个病人的情况进行制定，A项符合文意。故选A。‎ ‎【10题详解】‎ 主旨大意题。文中第二段提到“But there is now new hope … printed a 3D human heart”那些需要进行心脏移植的病人有了新的希望——3D打印心脏，同时，文章第三段及第五段都提到了3D打印的特点及细节特点。D项符合题意，故选D。‎ 第二节 （共 5 小题，每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）‎ 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。‎ How to keep screens from ruining your vision Laboratory studies have shown that prolonged exposure to high-intensity blue light damages retinal (视网膜的) cells in mice. But epidemiological (流行病学的) studies on real people tell a different story.‎ So,___11___Human eyes are different from rodent (啮齿动物) eyes. We have protective elements, such as macular pigments and the natural blue-blocking ability of the crystalline lens (晶状体).___12___ Just because blue light isn’t harming your retina doesn’t mean your electronic devices are harmless. Because of its wavelength, blue light does disrupt healthy sleep physiology. Mounting evidence suggests that___13___It also robs you of restorative rapid-eye-movement sleep, dulls focus, and diminishes brain activity the next day.‎ ‎___14___ First, turn off your electronic devices before bed. Outside of the bedroom, when you do look at your screens, lower the brightness. Second, follow the “20-20-20” rule. The American Optometric Association defines this rule as taking a 20-second break every 20 minutes to look at something 20 feet in the distance. This will allow your eyes to blink and relax. Third,___15___ This way will reinforce the body’s natural tears and keep the eye’s surface hydrated.‎ A. why does it damage our human retinal cells?‎ B. These structures absorb blue light before it reaches the delicate retina.‎ C. why is there difference between blue light’s effects on rodent eyes and human eyes?‎ D. screen time before bed increases the time it takes to fall asleep.‎ E. There are ways to make your screen viewing more comfortable and more conducive to sleep.‎ F. use lubricating eye drops before extended computer use.‎ G. we should decrease screen time before bed.‎ ‎【答案】11.

This has caused much debate round the world. On the one hand, some scientists point out that if you clone an embryo, you can produce valuable human tissues—such as bone or lung tissue—that could be used to save human lives. On the other hand, many people, including some scientists, disagree and are afraid that, if mankind toys with nature in this way, we may be on our way to producing a real-life Frankenstein’s monster.‎ Cloning is producing an exact copy of a plant or an animal using its cells. The first mammal to be cloned successfully from an adult cell was Dolly the sheep. She was born in 1996 and died in early 2003, at a much younger age than normal. When she was born, many people were worried that cloning would lead to more diseases in the animal world. However, in general the scientists were praised for their wonderful scientific advance.‎ Ian Wilmut, the Scottish scientist who created Dolly, is shocked that some scientists are now considering cloning human beings. Although he researches cloning, his intention has never been to create copies of humans. Instead, he thinks research efforts should concentrate on creating new tissues and organs that can be used to cure diseases like cancer. However, some people believe that cloning human embryos with the intention of destroying them shows no respect for human life.‎ Even though human cloning is causing a lot of anxiety, it is good news for Faye Wilson, a 41-year-old saleswoman who cannot have a baby. “I am anxious to have a child of my own,” she says. “I don’t want to adopt someone else’s child—if I had the chance, I would have a cloned baby right now.”‎ While cloning human embryos is not legal in many countries, some scientists are already pushing ahead with research in order to produce a cloned human baby.‎ ‎ Severino Antinori, an Italian physician, has declared that he wants to be the first to clone a human being.‎ ‎___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎【答案】There is a worldwide debate over human cloning.（要点一） Some people are in complete agreement with it, while others think it wrong.（要点二） Like Dolly, it can benefit mankind but still lead to some worries. （要点三） Human cloning not only satisfies Faye Wilson who cannot have a baby, but also excites Severino Antinori who desires to clone a human.（要点四）However, Ian Wilmut believes researchers should focus on creating new tissues and organs to cure serious diseases instead of copies of humans. （要点五）(78 words)‎ ‎【解析】‎ ‎【分析】‎ 这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了克隆技术的争议和益处。一部分人认为克隆技术可以在医疗上对人们进行帮助，但另一部分人认为克隆技术会造成可怕的影响。‎ ‎【详解】文章分析 ‎1. 第一段中出现“On the one hand”及“On the other hand”，由此可知在世界范围内对克隆技术吃两种态度，一种支持一种反对。‎ ‎2. 第二段中以克隆羊Dolly为例，介绍了克隆羊的寿命短于普通羊的寿命，由此证明克隆技术仍存在很大的风险。‎ ‎3. 在第三段及第四段中，介绍了两位支持克隆技术的人，一个想拥有自己的孩子，另一个想要成为第一个克隆人。文章从这两个人的角度，阐明了支持克隆技术的观点。‎ 以上每个段落的要点可以再次进行总结，由此形成整篇文章的概要。‎ ‎【点睛】概要写作要点：1. 找出每段的关键信息；2.‎ ‎ 用自己的词、词组或结构重写关键信息；3. 加上一些连接性词语使文章更通顺。同时，在针对说明文的概要写作中，一定要注意每一段的第一句，在此体裁中第一句是该段落的中心句。其次，要注意段落中的并列连词或转折连词，连词后的内容是对中心句内容的补充说明。再次，注意文章中数字、时间的表达。针对说明文不同的类型，有以下几种参考模板：1. 针对事物的性质和功能。“文章主体+性质/功能+利弊”。2. 针对问题提出解决方法或解决措施。“问题+解决方法：1….，2….，3….”。3. 针对事情的原因及结果。“现象+原因+结果”。‎ ‎ ‎
