It is a challenge many disabled athletes face, unless someone agrees to be their eyes and ears.‎ Newly formed group Achilles Brisbane pairs visionand hearingimpaired(视觉和听觉受损的) athletes with people who would like to guide them.‎ Jane Britt, president of Achilles Brisbane, who is visionand hearingimpaired, said, “When we go out, it’s much less frightening to have someone beside us that has full hearing to listen for us and tell us what’s there.”‎ Ms.Cullen and Ms.Britt meet up most Saturday mornings to take part in the fivekilometer park run. Their partnership is built on trust, but Ms. Britt said that it took time to develop.‎ Ms.Britt said it took an unexpected storm for her to trust Ms. Cullen completely. “There was violent rain, my glasses were broken and we were walking together. I suddenly had to tell her I couldn’t see anything, and I was going to have to completely trust her. From that time I knew it was going to work because she was so good about dealing with the special situation we both found ourselves in，” she said.‎ Isabella Allen and her seeing eye dog Tatum are two new additions to the Achilles Brisbane. Ms. Allen kept active by rowing, running and cycling but found it difficult to keep going as her vision became worse. After nearly giving up completely, she worked up the courage to ask Achilles Brisbane to find someone to share a boat with her.‎ Ms. Allen said the fear of not finding anyone to row with almost stopped her from reaching out to Achilles Brisbane. “But, they found people and matched me to them，” she said. “It’s the best thing I’ve ever done.”‎ ‎【解题导语】　本文是一篇记叙文。残疾人参加体育锻炼与正常人是不同的，他们常常面临各种挑战，为此专门成立了一个锻炼帮扶组织。文章讲述了该组织帮扶的两个具体事例。‎ 15‎ ‎1．What does Paragraph 1 try to show?‎ A．The danger of walking on a busy road.‎ B．The difficulty the disabled athletes face.‎ C．The exercise people do to keep fit.‎ D．The necessity of building roads for the blind.‎ B　解析：推理判断题。根据第一段中的“but imagine facing the task of doing it all without being able to see or hear.

Walter Dean Myers was the author of more than 100 books for children and young adults and received many top awards.‎ The prolific author was loved for his vivid description of the lives of African American children, and for writing books for young people that covered different subjects. “Myers has written about all those subjects with deep understanding and a hardwon, qualified sense of hope，” said Leonard S. Marcus in 2008.‎ He was born in 1937 and was adopted by Florence Dean and Herbert after his mother died while giving birth to his younger sister. They loved him very much and his mother read to him from a very young age. Reading pushed him to discover worlds beyond his landscape.‎ He began writing at an early age. He wrote well in high school and an English teacher recognized this and advised him to keep on writing no matter what happened to him. “It’s what you do，” she said.‎ He dropped out of high school at 17 and joined the army. After finishing his service, he entered a dark period in his life. Myers began writing at night to pull himself through that miserable time.‎ In an essay published in The New York Times earlier this year, Myers described how a short story by James Arthur Baldwin helped change the course of his life. “I didn’t love the story, but I was lifted by it，” he wrote, “for it took place in Harlem, and it was a story concerned with black people like those I knew. By humanizing the people who were like me, Baldwin’s story also humanized me. The story gave me a permission that I didn’t know I needed, the permission to write about my own landscape, my own map.”‎ ‎“I write books for the troubled boy I once was，” he wrote, “and for the boy who lives within me still.”‎ ‎【解题导语】　本文是一篇记叙文，主要介绍了美国著名作家Walter Dean Myers的生平。‎ ‎5．What does the second paragraph mainly talk about?‎ A．How popular Myers was.‎ 15‎ B．How Myers became successful.‎ C．What makes Myers’ works popular.‎ D．What people think of Myers’ works.‎ C　解析：段落大意题。通读该段可知，该段首句“The prolific author...covered different subjects.”为该段主题句，结合该段其他内容可知，这位多产的作家因其对非裔美国儿童生活的生动描述，以及为年轻人写的涉及不同话题的书籍而深受喜爱。由此可知，该段主要介绍了他的作品受欢迎的原因，故C项正确。‎ ‎6．Who discovered Myers’ writing talent?‎ A．James Arthur Baldwin.‎ B．His mother.‎ C．Leonard S. Marcus.‎ D．One of his teachers.‎ D　解析：细节理解题。根据第四段第二句“He wrote well in high school and an English teacher recognized this and advised him to keep on writing no matter what happened to him.”可知，他在高中时写作就很好，一位英语老师认识到这一点并建议他无论发生什么事都要坚持写下去。据此可知，他的写作天赋是他的一位老师发现的，故D项正确。‎ ‎7．What does the underlined word “prolific” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?‎ A．Productive. B．Unfortunate.‎ C．Conservative. D．Humorous.‎ A　解析：词义猜测题。根据第一段第二句“Walter Dean Myers was the author of more than 100 books for children and young adults and received many top awards.”可知，Walter Dean Myers 写了100多本儿童和年轻人读物，并获得了许多最高奖项。由此可推知，他是一位多产的作家。productive意为“多产的”，故A项正确。B项意为“不幸的”，C项意为“守旧的”，D项意为“幽默的”，都与语境不符。‎ ‎8．Why was the short story by James Arthur Baldwin so important for Myers?‎ A．It helped him survive the dark period.‎ B．It inspired him to pursue his writing career.‎ C．He learned many writing techniques from it.‎ D．The author of the story permitted him to write.‎ B　解析：细节理解题。根据倒数第二段第一句中的“how a short story...the course of his life”以及最后一句“The story gave me a permission that I didn’t know I needed, the permission to write about my own landscape, my own map.”可知，Baldwin写的故事鼓励了Myers追求他自己的写作事业，故B项正确。‎ Ⅱ.七选五 15‎ ‎(2020·广东七校联考)We all have to make decisions all the time, and we have an abundance of choices, ranging from tiny issues to vital ones.

Research shows it’s a complex question and that asking whether males or females are happier isn’t really that helpful, because basically, happiness is different for women and men.‎ Women’s happiness has been declining for the past 30 years, according to recent statistics. And research shows that women are twice as likely to experience depression compared with men. Gender(性别) differences in depression are well confirmed and studies have found that biological, psychological and social factors contribute to the difference.‎ Early studies on gender and happiness found men and women were socialized to express different feelings. Women are more likely to express happiness, warmth and fear, which help with social bonding and appear more consistent with the traditional role as a primary caregiver, while men display more anger, pride and disrespect,‎ 15‎ ‎ which are more consistent with a protector and provider role.‎ Recent research suggests that these differences are not just socially, but also genetically related. Studies have looked into these findings further and discovered that females use more areas of the brain containing mirror neurons(镜像神经元) than males when they process feelings. Mirror neurons allow us to experience the world from other people’s view, to understand their actions and intentions. This may explain why women can experience deeper sadness. Women tend to experience more negative feelings, such as more guilt, shame and to a lesser degree, embarrassment.‎ Psychologically it seems men and women differ in the way they process and express feelings. With the exception of anger, women experience feelings more strongly and share their feelings more openly with others. Studies have found in particular that women express more appreciation—which has been linked to greater happiness. This supports the theory that women’s happiness is more dependent on relationships than men’s.‎ ‎【解题导语】　本文从社会、生理和心理三个方面介绍了男性和女性在幸福感上的差异。‎ ‎1．Which feeling are men more likely to show compared with women?‎ A．Warmth. B．Depression.‎ C．Happiness. D．Disrespect.‎ D　解析：细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句中的“while men display more anger, pride and disrespect”可知，男性表现更多的是生气、骄傲和无礼，故选D。‎ ‎2．What factors cause women to share feelings more openly?‎ A．Psychological factors. B．Biological factors.‎ C．Educational factors. D．Social factors.‎ A　解析：细节理解题。根据最后一段的内容可知，本段从心理方面介绍了男性和女性在处理和表达感情方面的不同：与男性相比，女性更加公开地表露自己内心的情感。‎ ‎3．One can probably read the text from________．‎ A．a science fiction B．a culture brochure C．a nursery guide D．a health magazine D　解析：文章出处题。根据本文内容可知，本文主要从社会、生理和心理三个方面分析了男性和女性在幸福感上的差异。由此可推知，本文有可能摘自一本健康杂志，故选D项。‎ ‎4．What is the text mainly about?‎ A．Men and women differ in biology and psychology.‎ B．Men and women experience happiness differently.‎ C．Social roles have a great effect on men and women.‎ 15‎ D．Women’s happiness has declined in the past years.‎ B　解析：主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文从社会、生理和心理三个方面分析了男性和女性在幸福感上的差异，故B项最符合文意。‎ B ‎(2020·南阳高三诊断)A team of engineers at Harvard University created the first robotic fly. Designed to do what a fly does naturally, the tiny machine is the size of a fat housefly. Its mini wings allow it to stay in the air and perform controlled flight tasks.‎ ‎“The added difficulty with a project like this is that actually none of its components is off the shelf and we have to develop them all on our own，” said Robert Wood, a Harvard engineering professor.‎ They engineered a series of systems to start and drive the robotic fly. “The seemingly simple system which just moves the wings has lots of interdependence(互相依赖) of the individual components, each of which individually has to perform well, but then has to be matched well to everything it’s connected to，” said Wood.‎ While this first robotic flyer is linked to a small, offboard power source, the goal is eventually to equip it with a builtin power source, so that it might someday perform datagathering work at rescue sites, in farmers’ fields or on the battlefield. “Basically it should be able to take off, land and fly around，” he said.‎ Wood says the design offers a new way to study flight mechanics and control at insectscale. Yet, the power, sensing and computation technologies on board could have much broader applications. “You can start thinking about using them to answer open scientific questions, you know, to study biology in ways that would be difficult with the animals, but using these robots instead，” he said. “So there are a lot of technologies and open interesting scientific questions that are really what drives us on a daytoday basis.”‎ ‎【解题导语】　本文是一篇说明文。哈佛大学的工程师团队研制出了首个机器苍蝇飞行器，该飞行器虽然尺寸如苍蝇大小，但结构复杂，有望在未来执行搜救点、农田、战场的数据收集任务。‎ ‎5．What is the typical characteristic of the robotic fly?‎ A．It’s automatic.‎ B．It’s very small.‎ C．It’s controllable.‎ 15‎ D．It’s quite powerful.‎ B　解析：细节理解题。根据第一段第二、三句“Designed to do what a fly does naturally, the tiny machine is the size of a fat housefly. Its mini wings allow it to stay in the air and perform controlled flight tasks.”可知，这种飞行器设计初衷是为了能做苍蝇做的事，它的尺寸和肥胖的家蝇一样大，微小的翅膀可以让它停在空中执行受控的飞行任务；据此可知，该机器苍蝇飞行器的典型特点是尺寸小，故B项正确。‎ ‎6．We can infer from the passage that the robotic flyer can ________．‎ A．act as a spy plane B．help do farm work C．fly at a very high speed D．answer many scientific questions A　解析：推理判断题。根据第四段第一句中的“so that it might someday perform datagathering work at rescue sites, in farmers’ fields or on the battlefield”可知，某一天这种飞行器可能用于执行搜救点、农田、战场的数据收集任务；据此可推知，该飞行器可以用作间谍飞机，故A项正确。‎ ‎7．What is Wood’s idea about the robotic fly according to the last paragraph?‎ A．It is highly questionable.‎ B．It has wide practical applications.‎ C．It gives scientists interest in flying machines.‎ D．It points to a new direction in studying biology.‎ B　解析：细节理解题。根据尾段第二句“Yet，the power...could have much broader applications.”并结合Wood所说的话可知，Wood认为这种飞行器使用范围很广泛，故B项正确。‎ ‎8．What can be the best title for the passage?‎ A．Harvard’s Study in the Field of Insects B．A Breakthrough in Engineering Science C．An Interesting Invention—Robotic Fly D．Robotic Fly—a Copy of the Real Life Insect D　解析：标题归纳题。通读全文可知，本文的主题句是第一段第一、二句；结合全文内容可知，本文主要介绍了哈佛大学的工程师团队研制出了首个机器苍蝇飞行器，该飞行器虽然尺寸如苍蝇大小，但结构复杂，有望在未来执行搜救点、农田、战场的数据收集任务。故D项最适合作本文标题。‎ Ⅱ.七选五 ‎(2020·北京怀柔区高三模拟)In a study recently published in the journal Neuron, ‎ 15‎ researchers found that super memorizers don’t have unusually large brain regions that allow them to remember a lot of information. 1.________ Here are a few of their favorite tricks that can help you to remember things in your everyday life.‎ To Remember: New words Technique: Change routine In a study, a group of students studied a list of words in two separate sessions. Some studied in a messy room and some in a neat space. One group of students spent both sessions in the same room, while the other split the sessions between the two environments. During a test, the students who studied in multiple places remembered much more. 2.________ That includes the time of day, the music in the background, whether you sit or stand, etc.‎ To Remember: Your PIN Technique: Count it out You could use your birthday, or your phone number, but identity thieves have a way of figuring those numbers out. 3.________ Write a four－word sentence, then count the number of letters in each word. For instance, “This is my PIN”＝4223.‎ To Remember: Faces Technique: Focus on noses While some super memorizers specialize in associating names with faces, the memory palace technique doesn’t work as well if the image of the face is changed in any way. Rather than focusing on eyes, as most people do, focus on the centre or to the left of a person’s nose. 4.________‎ To Remember: Facts & figures Technique: 5.________‎ To learn and remember statistics, reviewing the material repeatedly over a longer time is far more effective than repeating it in a shorter one. If your exam is in a week, study today and then again in a day or two. If it’s a month away, study today and then wait a week before your second session.‎ A．Value exams B．Give yourself time C．This allows you to take in their whole face.‎ D．Their brain structures are in fact the same as ours.‎ E．Instead, try this tip from Dominic O’Brien, an eighttime World Memory Champion.‎ 15‎ F．The theory is that your brain links the words to the environment around you.‎ G．Studies showed that varying other aspects of your environment can also help.‎ ‎【解题导语】　本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了四个有助于记忆的技巧。‎ ‎1．D　解析：根据上文中的“super memorizers don’t have unusually large brain regions”可知，那些记忆达人并没有非常大的脑区域，他们的大脑结构实际上和我们的一样，故选D项。‎ ‎2．G　解析：承接上文“During a test, the students who studied in multiple places remembered much more.”，并与空后一句“That includes the time of day, the music in the background, whether you sit or stand, etc.”呼应可知，其他方面的环境变化对记忆也是有帮助的，这与本段介绍的技巧Change routine相吻合，故选G项。‎ ‎3．E　解析：根据空前一句“You could use...figuring those numbers out.”和空处下文的内容可知，空处推荐了一种不同的方法，这与第一段中效仿记忆达人的有效记忆策略相呼应，故选E项。‎ ‎4．C　解析：根据本段的记忆主题Faces和空前一句“Rather than focusing on eyes...a person’s nose.”可知，通过集中注意力于一个人的鼻子可以让你记住一个人的整个面孔，故选C项。‎ ‎5．B　解析：根据该段第一句“To learn and remember statistics, reviewing the material repeatedly over a longer time is far more effective than repeating it in a shorter one.”并结合对本段的整体理解可推知，本段推荐的记忆技巧是给自己时间，故选B项。‎ Ⅲ.语法填空 ‎(2020·南昌重点中学段考)In today’s world of mobile payment, all we really need 1.____________(survive) is a smartphone.
