A few years ago, I stood in a small classroom just outside of New York City, watching a high schooler named Serena Stevenson answer math questions. An instructor read outnumbers — 74,470, 70,809, 98,402 — and Stevenson added them in her head. For each question, she closed her eyes, and then the fingers of her right hand began to move. She answered most of the problems correctly.
The key to her success was an ancient technology called the abacus. Stevenson used a practice called “mental abacus”, imagining the abacus in her mind and then using her fingers to work through the problems.
From watching Stevenson, I knew that gaining skill at the abacus was more than a matter of counting beads, so I decided to sign up for an abacus course with my two daughters to see if we could also improve our math skills. I was one of the many who had some math doubts and I felt a touch of fear. My typical solution was avoidance, and if I had to calculate something like a percentage change, I would go online.
Then after a few abacus classes and a good amount of practice, math seemed a little less frightening. I didn’t become Euclid, the founder of geometry. But the practice brought my numerical fears down. This is a time-tested power of the abacus. Confidence grows easily in the device, and abacus students are less likely to be nervous about an upcoming math test, according to one study. Part of the reason, it seems, is that practice and outcomes appear to move in step.
My kids gained much as well. My youngest daughter could work out those math problems that once baffled her, while my older child brought her abacus to school to show it to her classmates and teacher. These were just small successes for them, but that was how they finally developed confidence.
24．What is the main purpose of the first paragraph
A．To prove the difficulty of math. B．To introduce the topic of the abacus.
C．To show the high intelligence of Stevenson. D．To stress the importance of abacus learning.
25．What do we know about the author from paragraph 3
A．He was weak in math. B．He was good at computer.
C．He regarded math as useful. D．He had a close relationship with kids.
26．What does the author realize from his learning experience
A．Knowledge starts with practice. B．It’s never too late to learn.
C．Faith can move mountains. D．Practice makes perfect.
27．What does the underlined word “baffled” in the last paragraph mean
A．Bored. B．Inspired. C．Defeated. D．Interested.
Creating a new gene in a single day could soon be possible. The technology could one day let researchers speedily rewrite genes, enabling them to make new medicines and fuels on the fly. Researchers have been able to make DNA since the 1970s. The traditional approach takes DNA nucleotides(核苷酸）and adds them, one by one, to a growing chain called an oligo(寡核苷酸）。But the process is typically slow and error-prone, limiting oligos to about 200 letters-a tiny part of the thousands of letters that make up most genes.
Over the decades, most researchers have settled on one particular polymerase(聚合酶），called TdT,because unlike others, it can attach new nucleotides to an oligo strand without following a DNA template strand. Scientists have tried for years to make TdT add one nucleotide at a time and stop, before repeating the process with a different nucleotide. But TdT doesn't work well with these modified nucleotides. “TdT is very picky." says Sebastian Palluk, a Ph. D．student. One such system, for example, required about an hour to add each modified base, far too slow to be practical.
Ultimately, the approach should be cheap, because TdT is easy to manufacture in bacteria. It's also fast. Most new nucleotides attach to the growing oligo in 10 to 20 seconds. For now,the step still takes a minute. So synthesizing a whole gene will still likely take the better part of a day.
The new approach is not quite ready. So far, the group has made oligos only 10 bases long. And there are still a few writing problems,as the approach was only 98% accurate at writing DNA, below the 99% accuracy of the traditional approach. In order to write oligos up to 1000 bases long, the approach will likely need to be 99.9% accurate.
28．What is the drawback of the traditional way of making DNA
A．It is too expensive.
B．It is too hard to be carried out.
C．It increases oligos to about 200 letters.
D．It is too slow and there may be mistakes.
29．Why have most researchers settled on TdT
A．Because it is cheap.
B．Because it is easy to get.
C．Because it is harmless to people.
D．Because it is easy to control.
30．What can we learn from the text
A．Researchers have been able to make DNA recently.
B．The new approach is quite ready without any problem.
C．There is still some work to do before the new approach is practical.
D．To write oligos 1000 bases long, the approach needs to be 99% accurate.
31．Where is this text most likely from
A．A magazine. B．A diary.
C．A novel. D．A guidebook.
The world’s largest study about sleep was launched in June 2017 and within days more than 40,000 people from around the world participated in the online scientific investigation, which includes a questionnaire and a series of cognitive (认知的) performance activities.
“We really wanted to figure out the sleeping habits of people around the world. Obviously, there have been many smaller sleep studies of people in labs but we wanted to find out what sleep is like in the real world,” says Adrian Owen. “People who logged in gave us a lot of information about themselves. They told us things like which medicine they were on, how old they were, where they were and what kind of education they’d received because these are all factors that might have contributed to some of the results.”
About half of all participants reported typically sleeping less than 6.3 hours per night, about an hour less than the study’s recommended amount. One shocking fact was that most participants who slept four hours or less performed as if they were almost nine years older.
Another surprising discovery was that sleep affected all adults equally. The amount of sleep associated with highly functional cognitive behavior was the same for everyone, regardless of age. Also, the harm associated with too little, or too much, sleep did not depend on the age of the participants.
“We found that the best amount of sleep to keep your brain performing its best is 7 to 8 hours every night. We also found that people who slept more than that amount were equally harmed as those who slept too little.” says Conor Wild, Owen Lab Research Associate and the study’s lead author.
32．Where did the study take place
A．In a hospital. B．In a university. C．In a lab. D．On the Internet.
33．What may affect the result of the study according to Owen
A．Professions. B．Education. C．Hobbies. D．Diet.
34．Which of the following is right according to Wild
A．Sleeping too much is as bad as sleeping too little.
B．Sleeping too little can make people look older.
C．Different people need different sleeping hours.
D．People must sleep for eight or nine hours every day.
35．What can we learn from the passage
A．Most people have sleeping problems in the world.
B．Owen and Wild were the first experts to study sleep.
C．Lack of enough sleep is a common problem.
D．People attach great importance to having enough sleep.

If you're familiar with the story of the hare (野兔) and the tortoise (乌龟), you know that the tortoise proved that perseverance is much more important than speed. 36 , but fewer people have the patience and perseverance of the tortoise.
Here are some tips that can help you to improve your perseverance.
●Set goals and write them down.
If you don't know what you want to accomplish, it's hard to persevere (坚持) until you do. 37 instead of making many projects that may upset you.
● 38 , and cross each step off the list as you complete it.
If you want to master the ability to cook German dishes, you'll need to read cookbooks, study the Recipes,buy ingredients (食料) and practise making the dishes.
Write down all these steps and remove each step as you go.
●Make a list of the rewards related to any project to encourage yourself to persevere.
When you want to lose 40 pounds, it may seem like a difficult goal. 39 .You can lower your blood sugar or fit into your favorite pair of jeans (牛仔裤). Keep those rewards in mind to encourage yourself to stick to your diet and exercise program.
●Imagine your success.
Take time each day to sit back, relax and picture the life you'll lead once you've reached your goal. 40 .
Read them over several times a day to encourage yourself to keep going.
A．Like the hare, many people start off strong
B．Or you can write out a paragraph or two about how reaching your goal will change your life
C．You can't lose weight only by going on a diet
D．Make a list of the steps needed to reach your goal
E．But there are big rewards for doing so
F．Choose one or two goals that are most important to you and work toward those

Jack sat by the radio at exactly five minutes before seven o’clock. This was a part of his daily routine he never broke. The old man sighed, turned the radio on, and tuned it to a specific frequency. He wanted to contact his best friend, Gerry. With the noise in the house, his step-son (继子) always had an argument with him.
When his wife passed away, Jack’s step-son, David, wanted to persuade a doctor that he was crazy and had dementia (老年痴呆). So, he could get his power of lawyer and then send Jack to a nursing home.
Phillip didn’t understand why Dad wanted Grandpa to leave his home. The next day, Phillip decided to find out what was happening with Grandpa. Phillip bit his lip and moved closer to ask the most important question: “Where is Gerry now ” Grandpa frowned, “It’s been forty-five years, and I still haven’t heard from him, but I haven’t given up hope either. I know my friend will contact me one day by radio at a specific frequency. ” Phillip nodded. He felt that Grandpa was telling the truth.
After listening to Grandpa’s stories about his friend Gerry, Phillip returned home feeling better about Grandpa’s health. However, that evening, Phillip suddenly heard that the doctor would arrive a few minutes before seven o’clock. This time, he realized he needed to take action.
At about seven o’clock, the doctor and David peered into the sitting room and watched Jack sit down and turn on the radio. The static (电流声) was loud enough to hear in their hiding spot. The doctor turned to David. “It seems you’re right about your step-father’s state of mind,” he said.

【原文】M: Fellow scientists, I finally have some good news to report. As you know, I have been studying sea life for three months in New York Harbor. Today, I can finally present some hard evidence that sharks have returned to these waters. For the past two weeks, I’ve been helping to film the Shark Week program for the Discovery Channel on TV. My job was to sit in a boat near a dead whale and check it for shark bites. It’s been a very hot July, so this wasn’t the easiest task. After five days, I noticed there were several large shark bites along the stomach of the whale. I was thrilled, because this means our conservation efforts are starting to pay off. Sharks’ returning to a former hunting ground indicates that the waters are cleaner and healthier. We have been trying to clean up this area and the rivers that poured into the harbor for many years. I want to take this opportunity to thank the Environment Friends Society. You have all made your best effort so that future generations can live in a clean world.

【导语】这是一篇记叙文，文章主要讲述了作者自己和孩子学习珠算的故事，得出了“熟能生巧”的道理。
24．推理判断题。根据第一段“For each question, she closed her eyes, and then the fingers of her right hand began to move. She answered most of the problems correctly.(对于每一个问题，她都闭上眼睛，然后她右手的手指开始移动。她正确地回答了大部分问题)”以及第二段“The key to her success was an ancient technology called the abacus.(她成功的关键是一种叫做算盘的古老技术)”可推知，第一段的主要目的是引出算盘这个主题。故选B。
25．推理判断题。根据第三段“From watching Stevenson, I knew that gaining skills on the abacus was more than a matter of counting beads, so I decided to sign up for an abacus course with my two daughters to see if we could also improve our math skills. I was one of the many who held some math doubts and I felt a touch of fear of math. My typical solution was avoidance, and if I had to calculate something like a percentage change, I would go online.(通过观察史蒂文森，我知道掌握珠算技能不仅仅是数珠子，所以我决定和我的两个女儿报名参加一个珠算课程，看看我们是否也能提高我们的数学技能。我是许多对数学有疑虑的人之一，我对数学有一丝恐惧。我的典型解决方案是回避，如果我必须计算一个百分比变化，我会上网)”可推知，作者的数学不好。故选A。
26．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Then after a few abacus classes and a good amount of practice, math seemed a little less frightening. I didn’t become Euclid, the founder of geometry. But the practice brought my numerical fears down. This is a time-tested power of the abacus.(经过几节算盘课和大量的练习，数学似乎没那么可怕了。我没有成为欧几里得，几何学的奠基人。但这种做法消除了我对数字的恐惧。这是一种久经考验的算盘的力量)”可推知，作者从他的学习经历中意识到熟能生巧。故选D。
27．词句猜测题。根据最后一段中“These were just small successes for them, but that was how they finally developed confidence.(对他们来说，这些只是小小的成功，但这就是她们最终建立自信的方式)”以及画线词上文“My kids gained much as well. My youngest daughter could work out those math problems that once baffled her (孩子们也从算盘中收获良多，最小的女儿也解开了曾经baffled自己的数学题)”可知，孩子们学算盘学的不错，获得成功，可得出最小的女儿也解开了曾经打败自己的数学题，故画线词意思是“打败”。故选C。
28．D 29．B 30．C 31．A
【分析】本文为一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了科学家们正在尝试用一个最新的方法来改写基因，如果成功，将可以在一天的时间里创造出一个新的基因，但目前该技术尚未成熟。
28．细节理解题。由第二段最后一句话 “But the process is typically slow and error-prone, limiting oligos to about 200 letters-a tiny part of the thousands of letters that make up most genes.（但这个过程通常是缓慢而且容易出错的，限制寡核苷酸只有大约200个字母——这只是组成大多数基因的数千个字母中的一小部分。）”可知传统重组基因方法的缺点是缓慢且容易出错，故选 D。
29．细节理解题。根据第二段的第一句话“Over the decades, most researchers have settled on one particular polymerase(聚合酶），called TdT,because unlike others, it can attach new nucleotides to an oligo strand without following a DNA template strand.（在过去的几十年里，大多数研究人员都专注于一种特殊的聚合酶，称为TdT，因为与其他酶不同的是，它可以将新的核苷酸附着到寡聚链上，而不需要附着在DNA模板链上。）”第三段第一句话“Ultimately, the approach should be cheap, because TdT is easy to manufacture in bacteria.（最终，这种方法应该是廉价的，因为TdT很容易在细菌中制造。）”可知研究人员专注于TdT的原因是因为TdT在细菌中很容易得到。故选 B。
30．推理判断题。由文章最后一段的首句“The new approach is not quite ready.（新方法还不完全成熟。）”及最后一句“In order to write oligos up to 1000 bases long, the approach will likely need to be 99.9% accurate.（为了写出1000个碱基长的寡核苷酸，这种方法可能需要99.9%的准确度。）”可以推断出这种基因重组的方法目前还不成熟，主要是精准度不够，由此可以推断出这种方法离正真应用到实际还需要进行很多的试验与研究工作。故选 C。
31．推理判断题。根据文章的主要内容可知本文为一篇科技说明文，讲述了科学家们正在尝试用一个最新的方法来改写基因，如果成功，将可以在一天的时间里创造出一个新的基因，由此可知本文最有可能出现在与科技相关的杂志上。故选 A。
32．D 33．B 34．A 35．C
【导语】这是一篇说明文。一项世界最大的睡眠调查表明每晚睡眠时间在七到八个小时的人，认知能力比睡眠时间小于这一数量的人更强。
32．细节理解题。根据第一段“The world’s largest study about sleep was launched in June 2017 and within days more than 40,000 people from around the world participated in the online scientific investigation(世界上最大的关于睡眠的研究于2017年6月启动，几天之内，来自世界各地的4万多人参与了这项在线科学调查)”可知，这项研究是在网上进行的。故选D。
33．细节理解题。根据第二段“They told us things like which medicine they were on, how old they were, where they were and what kind of education they’d received because these are all factors that might have contributed to some of the results.(他们告诉我们他们在用什么药，年龄多大，在哪里，接受过什么样的教育因为这些都是可能导致一些结果的因素)”可知，Owen认为接受教育的程度影响研究的结果。故选B。
34．细节理解题。根据最后一段“We also found that people who slept more than that amount were equally harmed as those who slept too little.( 我们还发现，睡眠时间超过这个时间的人与睡眠时间过少的人受到的伤害是一样的)”可知，在Wild看来，睡得太多和睡得太少一样对人的伤害是一样的。故选A。
35．推理判断题。根据第三段“About half of all participants reported typically sleeping less than 6.3 hours per night, about an hour less than the study’s recommended amount. One shocking fact was that most participants who slept four hours or less performed as if they were almost nine years older.(大约一半的参与者报告说，他们每晚的睡眠时间通常少于6.3小时，比研究建议的睡眠时间少了大约一个小时。一个令人震惊的事实是，大多数睡眠4小时或更少的参与者表现得好像他们几乎老了9岁)”可推知，睡眠不足是一个常见的问题。故选C。
36．A 37．F 38．D 39．E 40．B
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一些有助于提升毅力，让自己坚持下去的方法。
36．上文用龟兔赛跑的故事告诉我们乌龟的毅力比兔子的速度重要，再根据设空句中连词but可知，前后句之间有转折对比关系，A项“Like the hare, many people start off strong(就像兔子一样，许多人一开始很强)”与下文“but fewer people have the patience and perseverance of the tortoise(但很少有人有乌龟那样的耐心和毅力)”构成转折对比关系，同时照应上文龟兔赛跑的故事。故选A项。
37．结合小标题“Set goals and write them down(设定目标并写下来)”和下文“instead of making many projects that may upset you.(而不是做很多可能会让你心烦的项目)”可推知，正确的做法是：选择几个项目，作为自己的目标，并为之而努力。故选F项。
38．根据下文“and cross each step off the list as you complete it.(当你完成每一步的时候，把它从清单中划掉)”可推知，需要先制作一份清单，所以D项“Make a list of the steps needed to reach your goal(列一份实现目标所需的步骤的清单) ”符合语境，与下文构成顺承关系，且a list of the steps与下文each step off the list相照应。故选D项。
39．小标题“Make a list of the rewards related to any project to encourage yourself to persevere.(制作一份与项目相关的所有奖励的清单，鼓励自己坚持下去)”说要给予任何与项目相应的奖励来鼓励自己坚持下去。上文“When you want to lose 40 pounds, it may seem like a difficult goal.(当你想减掉40磅时，这似乎是一个困难的目标)”提出一个难题，E项“But there are big rewards for doing so.(但这样做可以得到很大的回报)”正是用小标题中提到的办法来解决这一问题，下文是对小标题中所述方法的举例说明。故选E项。
40．根据指代关系和下文“Read them over several times a day to encourage yourself to keep going.(每天多读几遍，鼓励自己坚持下去)”可知，设空句中应出现下文中提到的阅读内容，B项“Or you can write out a paragraph or two about how reaching your goal will change your life(或者你可以写一到两段文字，描述实现你的目标将如何改变你的生活)”中“a paragraph or two”正是下文阅读的内容，且B项也是小标题“Imagine your success”所说想象成功的一种方法。故选B项。
41．D 42．B 43．C 44．A 45．B 46．D 47．C 48．A 49．D 50．C 51．B 52．A 53．A 54．D 55．C

65．考查一般过去时的被动语态和主谓一致。句意：总而言之，欧·亨利的反讽写作风格受到他自己生活的影响。此处描述过去的事情，所以应用一般过去时。根据“by his own life”可知，此处应用被动语态。主语为第三人称单数。故填was influenced。
66．Dear John,
Sorry to know that you are separated and live alone in America. I'm writing to convey my concern to you.
However, there’s no sense worrying about it too much, since you merely have a bit of fever. You are supposed to stay optimistic. After all, it is convenient for us to communicate with each other and you’re sure to be cured. If there is anything I can do for you, just feel free to contact me.
I sincerely expect that you can make a quick recovery and return to normal.
Sincerely yours,
Li Hua
【分析】这是一篇提纲类作文。要求给美国朋友John写一封信，就他因为轻微发热而被隔离这件事进行关心并提出建议。
【详解】本文应分为三部分。首先，开门见山，提出写信的目的：表示对他被隔离的关心和问候。可以用“I’m writing in order to…”这样的句式。可以用concern，worry等词汇。第二部分要给John提出一些建议，可以从饮食，休息，心态等方面给出合理化建议。第三部分要表达愿望和祝福。可以用到wish, may等表达祝愿的词汇和句式。
【点睛】所给范文条理清楚，要点齐全，用词到位。长短句交叉使用。充分利用however，after all等，使得文章衔接自然。适当利用一些高级句式和词汇，例如：1.宾语从句：that you are separated and live alone in America ；2. There is no sense doing sth.（做某事没有意义）；3. It is +adj. + to do，为文章增色不少。
67．Just then, a voice spoke over the radio: “Jack, can you hear me ” It was Gerry. David and the doctor stared at each other in shock.
