The new member to the UAE's astronaut training program, the first female Emirati (阿联酋) astronaut, hopes that her mechanical engineering degree will be her ticket to the moon.
Nora AlMatrooshi and her fellow trainee astronaut Mohammad AlMulla were selected from 4000 highly qualified candidates to lead the nation’s 9.8 million citizens into space.
The two are looking forward to the laborious 30-month program ahead of them which has already begun with them getting their divers’ licences, picking up the Russian language and coaching for their many media interviews—and will move on to flight and weightlessness school at the Johnson Space Centre in Texas and eventually cruel survival training.
“They will need mechanical engineers to build a base on the moon,” says the 28-year-old, who represented her nation at the Mathematics Olympics and worked as an engineer at the National Petroleum Construction Company.
AlMatrooshi says she has dreamed of the stars since kindergarten, when her teacher set up the classroom as the Lunar surface and the five-year-old future astronaut constructed a cardboard moonbase. That early longing to explore space charted her degree choice.
“I actually went after it. I chose to study a degree in mechanical engineering because of a documentary I watched when I was in high school. It was about a group of astronauts going to the International Space Station and the role of the mechanical engineer was highlighted,” she say.
Leading big construction projects in the desert has helped equip the daughter of two academics—a PhD father and English teacher mother—for Lunar construction.
AlMatrooshi’s fellow trainee astronaut, UAE police helicopter pilot AlMulla, meanwhile says astronaut training has been “a big career change”.
“I spent 15 years qualifying to be a pilot, including training in Australia for my commercial pilot’s licence,” says the father of two. “As a pilot you get used to mastering everything—suddenly I’m changing my path.”
“I’m a big fan of SpaceX. The rockets and even the fancy space suits. And hopefully all four of us—and all the astronauts who come after us will get to be a part of future missions—perhaps even to the moon eventually.”
4. What preparation have they made before the training program
A. They have grasped their native language. B. They have had cruel survival training.
C. They have learned to deal with the press. D. They have done some weightlessness training.
5. Which is the major factor for AlMatrooshi to be a member of the training program
A. She got help from her academic parents.
B. She has had a big dream since her childhood.
C. She has experience in big construction projects.
D. She was the winner of the Mathematics Olympics.
6. What does the underlined part “I'm changing my path” refer to
A. I’ll be a master of life. B. I’m an enthusiast for SpaceX.
C. I’m settling my new problem. D. I’m starting a new life from scratch.
7. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. The fans of Space X B. Dream and achievements
C. Passion and preparations D. Future astronaut training program
C
In my teenage period 1 always had wished to pass a geography exam, remembering all the locations of the countries on a map or avoid embarrassing situations of suddenly forgetting the person’s name standing right in front of you. Luckily for me, now one theory that memory, like other muscles in the body, can be strengthened aroused my curiosity. But instead of practicing with flash cards, there may be an interesting way that we can improve our memory while we sleep.
The researchers hold that sleep is when the brain transfers short-term memories experienced throughout the day into long-term memories. This process is called memory consolidation. They have been working on a DIY version of this task to see if we male volunteers can improve memories through the use of sound in sleep. In the test, every time we see the picture, we can hear the related sound. Then we take a nap and they record our EEG.
They’re interested in one of the four periods of sleep: slow-wave sleep, when scientists believe that memory consolidation can happen. In this deep period of sleep, they do something that we don’t know. When we wake back up and do the task again, we find we do better than before a nap. That is because they played a clue during our sleep, for example, a car — we would remember the position of that car when we woke back up again. But if they didn’t play the clue during the sleep, for example, a guitar, we’d be less likely to remember that guitar when we woke up.
I was a huge skeptic when I first heard that result. But they ran this experiment on two female groups and the results were significant. It’s not that you remember things better; it’s that you forget them less. And the facts and memories we collect throughout the day are easily lost and forgotten.
So if you’re like me and a bit forgetful, perhaps a solution is a pair of headphones and a soft couch.
8. How did the author feel about his memory when young
A. He felt discouraged. B. He was moved. C. He felt inspired. D. He was proud.
9. How did the researchers strengthen the volunteers’ memory
A. By playing a clue before they sleep. B. By playing a clue when they sleep.
C. By showing a picture before they sleep. D. By drawing a picture when they sleep.
10. What is the author’s attitude to the theory
A. He is convinced of the experiment results. B. He throws doubts on it at present.
C. He believed in it from beginning to end. D. He wanted to prove it in the future.
11. What does the author want to show in the last paragraph
A. Ways to avoid forgetfulness are funny. B. Headphones and a soft couch are useful.
C. Many people can’t avoid forgetting in life. D. The solution to being forgetful is practical.
D
Sugar-free cookies, reduced-sugar cereal, sugar-free candy, diet soda... are these better for you Since sugar became a taboo (禁忌) in the nutrition and wellness world, sugar-free food items and drinks have acted as substitutes for once beloved sweet drinks and snacks. Claiming to be ZERO sugar means it is healthier,better for diabetics,and helps you slim down... Right
Wrong. Sugar-free isn’t better for you. In fact, sugar-free is worse.
Sugar-free means that artificial sweeteners (甜味剂) are used instead of real sugar. The problem:these sweeteners do not come from natural sources and they can cause you more harm than good.
Let’s get into what these artificial sweeteners actually are. Sugar-free sugar sounds wrong and that’s because there is no such thing as sugar-free sugar. Some of these sugar-free alternatives still contain sugar and the ones that don’t contain sugar have chemicals your body often does not know how to process.
Most artificial sweeteners are a lot sweeter than sugar,so only a tiny amount is needed. That’s why they can market sugar-free alternatives as “low-calorie” or “no-calorie”. It also means that you get no nutritional value from consuming them, which is why many sugar-free substitutes are classified as “non-nutritive”. These artificial sweeteners tend to hide under sneaky names. Actually, they are 200-600 times sweeter than sugar.
When you eat sweet stuff, your body continues to desire it and, even though your body cannot metabolize (代谢) these sugar-free alternatives, your brain does not know the difference. In turn, sugar-free alternatives connect to weight gain and type 2 diabetes (糖尿病).
Artificial sweeteners also damage your gut’s ability to break down sugar,which impacts everything you eat. In other words, your body doesn’t know how to handle artificial sweeteners because they have nothing real to process.
A good rule of thumb: stay away from artificial sweeteners and look for non-sugar, natural sweeteners like Stevia or date sugar. In the war against artificial sweeteners and real sugar, both lose. Satisfy your sweet tooth with natural sugars that come from fruits and stay away from products claiming to be sugar-free or diet!
12. What can be learned about sugar-free products
A. They don’t taste sweet. B. They are more nutritious.
C. They contain artificial sweeteners. D. They contain natural sweeteners.
13. Why are sugar-free alternatives described as “low-calorie” or “no-calorie”
A. They won’t lead to weight gain. B. They are greener and healthier.
C. They are much to everyone’s taste. D. Small quantities of artificial sweeteners are used.
14. What do we know about artificial sweeteners
A. They present a bigger health risk. B. They can be easily broken down.
C. They are as sweet as sugar. D. They improve our ability to metabolize.
15. What is the author’s final conclusion
A. Real sugar is a better choice. B. Stay away from sugary products.
C. Sugar-free products are healthier. D. Choose sugar from natural sources.

The new member to the UAE's astronaut training program, the first female Emirati (阿联酋) astronaut, hopes that her mechanical engineering degree will be her ticket to the moon.
Nora AlMatrooshi and her fellow trainee astronaut Mohammad AlMulla were selected from 4000 highly qualified candidates to lead the nation’s 9.8 million citizens into space.
The two are looking forward to the laborious 30-month program ahead of them which has already begun with them getting their divers’ licences, picking up the Russian language and coaching for their many media interviews—and will move on to flight and weightlessness school at the Johnson Space Centre in Texas and eventually cruel survival training.
“They will need mechanical engineers to build a base on the moon,” says the 28-year-old, who represented her nation at the Mathematics Olympics and worked as an engineer at the National Petroleum Construction Company.
AlMatrooshi says she has dreamed of the stars since kindergarten, when her teacher set up the classroom as the Lunar surface and the five-year-old future astronaut constructed a cardboard moonbase. That early longing to explore space charted her degree choice.
“I actually went after it. I chose to study a degree in mechanical engineering because of a documentary I watched when I was in high school. It was about a group of astronauts going to the International Space Station and the role of the mechanical engineer was highlighted,” she say.
Leading big construction projects in the desert has helped equip the daughter of two academics—a PhD father and English teacher mother—for Lunar construction.
AlMatrooshi’s fellow trainee astronaut, UAE police helicopter pilot AlMulla, meanwhile says astronaut training has been “a big career change”.
“I spent 15 years qualifying to be a pilot, including training in Australia for my commercial pilot’s licence,” says the father of two. “As a pilot you get used to mastering everything—suddenly I’m changing my path.”
“I’m a big fan of SpaceX. The rockets and even the fancy space suits. And hopefully all four of us—and all the astronauts who come after us will get to be a part of future missions—perhaps even to the moon eventually.”
4. What preparation have they made before the training program
A. They have grasped their native language. B. They have had cruel survival training.
C. They have learned to deal with the press. D. They have done some weightlessness training.
5. Which is the major factor for AlMatrooshi to be a member of the training program
A. She got help from her academic parents.
B. She has had a big dream since her childhood.
C. She has experience in big construction projects.
D. She was the winner of the Mathematics Olympics.
6. What does the underlined part “I'm changing my path” refer to
A. I’ll be a master of life. B. I’m an enthusiast for SpaceX.
C. I’m settling my new problem. D. I’m starting a new life from scratch.
7. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. The fans of Space X B. Dream and achievements
C. Passion and preparations D. Future astronaut training program
【答案】4. C 5. C 6. D 7. C

In my teenage period 1 always had wished to pass a geography exam, remembering all the locations of the countries on a map or avoid embarrassing situations of suddenly forgetting the person’s name standing right in front of you. Luckily for me, now one theory that memory, like other muscles in the body, can be strengthened aroused my curiosity. But instead of practicing with flash cards, there may be an interesting way that we can improve our memory while we sleep.
The researchers hold that sleep is when the brain transfers short-term memories experienced throughout the day into long-term memories. This process is called memory consolidation. They have been working on a DIY version of this task to see if we male volunteers can improve memories through the use of sound in sleep. In the test, every time we see the picture, we can hear the related sound. Then we take a nap and they record our EEG.
They’re interested in one of the four periods of sleep: slow-wave sleep, when scientists believe that memory consolidation can happen. In this deep period of sleep, they do something that we don’t know. When we wake back up and do the task again, we find we do better than before a nap. That is because they played a clue during our sleep, for example, a car — we would remember the position of that car when we woke back up again. But if they didn’t play the clue during the sleep, for example, a guitar, we’d be less likely to remember that guitar when we woke up.
I was a huge skeptic when I first heard that result. But they ran this experiment on two female groups and the results were significant. It’s not that you remember things better; it’s that you forget them less. And the facts and memories we collect throughout the day are easily lost and forgotten.
So if you’re like me and a bit forgetful, perhaps a solution is a pair of headphones and a soft couch.
8. How did the author feel about his memory when young
A. He felt discouraged. B. He was moved. C. He felt inspired. D. He was proud.
9. How did the researchers strengthen the volunteers’ memory
A. By playing a clue before they sleep. B. By playing a clue when they sleep.
C By showing a picture before they sleep. D. By drawing a picture when they sleep.
10. What is the author’s attitude to the theory
A. He is convinced of the experiment results. B. He throws doubts on it at present.
C He believed in it from beginning to end. D. He wanted to prove it in the future.
11. What does the author want to show in the last paragraph
A. Ways to avoid forgetfulness are funny. B. Headphones and a soft couch are useful.
C. Many people can’t avoid forgetting in life. D. The solution to being forgetful is practical.
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. A 11. D
【解析】

Sugar-free cookies, reduced-sugar cereal, sugar-free candy, diet soda... are these better for you Since sugar became a taboo (禁忌) in the nutrition and wellness world, sugar-free food items and drinks have acted as substitutes for once beloved sweet drinks and snacks. Claiming to be ZERO sugar means it is healthier,better for diabetics,and helps you slim down... Right
Wrong. Sugar-free isn’t better for you. In fact, sugar-free is worse.
Sugar-free means that artificial sweeteners (甜味剂) are used instead of real sugar. The problem:these sweeteners do not come from natural sources and they can cause you more harm than good.
Let’s get into what these artificial sweeteners actually are. Sugar-free sugar sounds wrong and that’s because there is no such thing as sugar-free sugar. Some of these sugar-free alternatives still contain sugar and the ones that don’t contain sugar have chemicals your body often does not know how to process.
Most artificial sweeteners are a lot sweeter than sugarso only a tiny amount is needed. That’s why they can market sugar-free alternatives as “low-calorie” or “no-calorie”. It also means that you get no nutritional value from consuming them, which is why many sugar-free substitutes are classified as “non-nutritive”. These artificial sweeteners tend to hide under sneaky names. Actually, they are 200-600 times sweeter than sugar.
When you eat sweet stuff, your body continues to desire it and, even though your body cannot metabolize (代谢) these sugar-free alternatives, your brain does not know the difference. In turn, sugar-free alternatives connect to weight gain and type 2 diabetes (糖尿病).
Artificial sweeteners also damage your gut’s ability to break down sugar,which impacts everything you eat. In other words, your body doesn’t know how to handle artificial sweeteners because they have nothing real to process.
A good rule of thumb: stay away from artificial sweeteners and look for non-sugar, natural sweeteners like Stevia or date sugar. In the war against artificial sweeteners and real sugar, both lose. Satisfy your sweet tooth with natural sugars that come from fruits and stay away from products claiming to be sugar-free or diet!
12. What can be learned about sugar-free products
A. They don’t taste sweet. B. They are more nutritious.
C. They contain artificial sweeteners. D. They contain natural sweeteners.
13. Why are sugar-free alternatives described as “low-calorie” or “no-calorie”
A. They won’t lead to weight gain. B. They are greener and healthier.
C. They are much to everyone’s taste. D. Small quantities of artificial sweeteners are used.
14. What do we know about artificial sweeteners
A. They present a bigger health risk. B. They can be easily broken down.
C. They are as sweet as sugar. D. They improve our ability to metabolize.
15. What is the author’s final conclusion
A. Real sugar is a better choice. B. Stay away from sugary products.
C. Sugar-free products are healthier. D. Choose sugar from natural sources.
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. A 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。如今市场上充斥着各种“无糖食品”和“无糖饮料”，它们对我们的健康究竟有着怎样的影响呢？
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Sugar-free means that artificial sweeteners (甜味剂) are used instead of real sugar.(无糖是指使用人工甜味剂代替真正的糖)”可知，所谓的“无糖产品”，其实是用人工甜味剂来代替真正的糖。故选C。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中“Most artificial sweeteners are a lot sweeter than sugar,so only a tiny amount is needed. That’s why they can market sugar-free alternatives as‘low-calorie’or‘no-calorie’.(大多数人造甜味剂比糖甜得多，所以只需要少量。这就是为什么他们可以以‘低卡路里’或‘无卡路里’来推销无糖替代品)”可知，由于人工甜味剂甜度非常高，所以其用量非常小，因此商家将其“无糖产品”标榜为“低卡路里”或“零卡路里”。故选D。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第三段中“In turn, sugar-free alternatives connect to weight gain and type 2 diabetes (糖尿病).(反过来，无糖替代品会导致体重增加和2型糖尿病)”以及倒数第二段中“Artificial sweeteners also damage your gut’s ability to break down sugar, which impacts everything you eat.(人工甜味剂还会损害肠道分解糖的能力，从而影响你吃的所有东西)”可知，这些所谓的“无糖产品”中含有的人工甜味剂会导致肥胖和糖尿病，还会损害肠道分解糖的能力，因此是更大的健康隐患。故选A。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“A good rule of thumb: stay away from artificial sweeteners and look for non-sugar, natural sweeteners like Stevia or date sugar.(一个很好的经验法则：远离人造甜味剂，寻找无糖的天然甜味剂，如甜菊糖或枣糖)”可知，作者认为，无论糖还是人工甜味剂都不是好的选择，后者危害更大；喜欢甜食者最好的选择是摄取自然的糖分——比如来自水果的糖。故选D。

考查固定搭配。句意：今年早些时候，他发现了糖画，这是他真正感兴趣的东西。have an interest in sth为固定搭配，表示“对……感兴趣”。故填in。
【41题详解】
考查代词。句意：因为村里没有糖画师傅，他就通过大量的视频和网络信息自学。设空处在句中作介词by的宾语，结合句意及提示词可知，此处表示“自学”，应用反身代词himself；by oneself为固定结构，表示“独自地；单独”。故填himself。
【42题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：李江忠小的时候就喜欢画画，他发现学糖画很容易。分析句子可知，句中已有谓语动词，设空处只能用非谓语动词形式；这是一个it形式主语结构，其句式结构为：主语+find+it+形容词+(for sb)+to do不定式，真正的宾语为后面的to do不定式，此处应填to learn。故填to learn。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：他很快就掌握了这项技能，可以用融化的红糖或白糖画出各种各样的糖画。分析句子可知，句中已有谓语动词，设空处只能填非谓语动词形式；其主语为sugar paintings，二者之间为被动关系，此处应用过去分词，整个分词短语作后置定语。故填made。
【44题详解】
考查副词。句意：工匠主要用糖浆在石板上画动物和花朵。分析句子可知，设空处在句中修饰动词paints，此处应用副词，basic的副词形式为basically，表示“基本上；主要地”。故填basically。
【45题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：李江忠的许多画讲述了有趣的故事，受到许多孩子的喜欢。分析句子可知，设空处在句中引导一个从句修饰前面的名词paintings，这是一个定语从句，从句中缺少主语，关系代词用that或者which。故填that或者which。

To celebrate his son’s second birthday, he decided to stay and enjoy the celebration in woods, located at the lap of a mountain. He with his family and friends, reached the village located near the woods and had his stay in the cottage. The cottage was located at the entrance of the dense forest, where the guests can see wolves wandering in the nearby place.
Neil’s son saw a dog at the door and offered him a biscuit. The dog was happy and very soon the little son befriended the dog. On second day, the birthday of the boy was celebrated grandly in the woods within beautiful nature. The dog did not leave the boy even for a minute and they both became close friends.
The next day, Neil, his wife and others decided to go for hunting in the forest and arranged a babysitter to take care of the little boy for half a day.
After 3 hours, all of them returned to the cottage and they seemed very tired. The cottage was open and nobody was there. The dog saw Neil and others, it rushed to them and licked (舔) Neil’s shoes. Neil’s wife was shocked to see the blood strain in the dog’s mouth.

【答案】Para1:
Everyone was shocked to see the blood-spattered（溅、洒、泼） mouth. They started to beat the dog. The poor dog screamed in pain, which was wounded badly soon. Neil could not believe that the dog seeming to be friendly should be so fierce and even killed his little son. His wife cried sadly while calling the name of the little son.
Para2:
Hearing the noise from the dog, the babysitter rushed out of the room. She was surprised why they were beating the dog, so she cried to make them stop. Then, she explained that the dog saved the boy when he was about to be attacked by some wolves wandering around the cottage. The dog fought with the wolves and finally killed them. As a result, the boy was not hurt at all. Neil then realised that the dog was indeed a fainthful friend. He also learned not to make decision in a hurry because haste makes waste.
【解析】
【分析】本篇书面表达是读后续写。通过阅读所给文章可知，Neil喜欢森林旅行。为了庆祝儿子的两岁生日，Neil决定带儿子两岁去森林庆祝。他们在森林遇到一只狗，狗和Neil一家成了好友。一天Neil和妻子外出打猎，安排了一个保姆照顾小男孩半天。等到Neil和妻子回来时，小屋开着，没有人在那里，狗看见Neil和其他人, 舔了舔Neil的鞋子，Neil的妻子看到狗嘴里的血液紧张时很震惊。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“大家看到它满嘴鲜血都吓了一跳”可知，第一段可描写大家见到这种情况时的反映，众人打狗，Neil无法相信这只看起来很友好的狗竟然如此凶猛，甚至杀死了他的小儿子。
②由第二段首句内容“听到狗的声音，保姆冲出了房间。”可知，第二段可描述保姆出来解释为何狗满嘴是血的原因，这只狗是在男孩即将被一些在小屋附近游荡的狼袭击时救了他。那条狗与狼搏斗，最后把它们杀死了。结果，那个男孩一点也没有受伤。
2.续写线索：众人以为狗伤人——打狗——保姆出面解释——真实原因：狗为救男孩与狼搏斗——杀死狼—— 男孩得救
