Parents often think that their kids should be good at studies and do well in sports. That’s usually the case because parents feel that could get their children admission to top colleges. However, Melissa and Mark Wimmer think differently.
Their 14-year-old son, Mike, is a prodigy. He is a member of Mensa, which is the world’s top IQ club. He completed his high school, associate’s and bachelor’s degrees all in three years. That’s not all. He also ran two tech companies, founded a third one that works towards controlling the population of lionfish, an invasive (入侵的) species.
But the parents are proud that they were able to help Mike with his social skills along with his intellectual skills. Melissa told CNBC that people expected “Young Sheldon” before they met her son. Young Sheldon is a television show about a child talent who is an indoor man and lacks social skills. “But once they talk to Mike, they understand that he’s just a normal 14-year-old that happens to be able to do amazing things,” said Melissa.
Mark and Melissa got to know about their child’s intelligence when he entered preschool. A child psychologist told them that their son would need a different course to support his fast-track development. Many parents aren’t comfortable with putting their children with 18-year-olds, but Mike’s parents saw the value in letting their child go through it. “I wanted him to be social and be able to deal with all the different personalities in the classrooms with older children,” said Melissa.
The parents shared that they were able to do this by letting Mike find his own voice and put it to use. “We let him order food when he’s 3 or 4 from the waiter or waitress and introduce himself to people. Those kinds of things are done to encourage him to engage with everyone else and be more comfortable talking to others outside of our environment,” said Melissa.
Thanks to his parents, Mike has learned to get along with young and old alike.
4. What do the underlined words “a prodigy” in paragraph 2 refer to
A. A gifted person. B. A famous student.
C. A brilliant biologist. D. A successful businessman.
5. What can we infer about the child in the show Young Sheldon
A He likes to make friends. B. He is a well-rounded man.
C. He is a popular child actor. D. He is poor at dealing with people.
6. How did Mark and Melissa discover Mike’s high intelligence
A. Through a recommendation from a child psychologist.
B. Through observing Mike’s behavior in preschool.
C. Through participating in a special educational program.
D. Through the information provided by Mike’s school teachers.
7. What do Mike’s parents do to improve his social skills
A. Teach him some communication rules. B. Encourage him to speak in class.
C. Place him in social situations. D. Let him go to school alone.
C
Upskilling is the future—but it must work for everyone
Automation and job replacement will be one of the most significant challenges for the global economy of the coming decades. A 2017 Mckinsey report established that 375 million workers will need to switch occupational categories by 2030. The World Economic Forum suggests that by 2022, automation will replace 75 million jobs globally—but create 133 million new ones.
Research into the likelihood that a job will be impacted by digitization has largely focused on the “automatability” of the role and the following economic regional and political effects of this. What this research doesn’t take into account is something more important for the millions of taxi drivers and retail workers across the globe: their likelihood of being able to change to another job that isn’t automatable. Recent research suggests that the answer to this may be that the skills that enable workers to move up the ladder to more complex roles within their current areas might be less important than broader skills that will enable workers to change across divisions.
In July, Amazon announced that it would spend $700 million retraining around 30% of its 300,000 US workforce. While praiseworthy, it will be interesting to see the outcome. In the UK, the National Retraining Scheme has largely been led by employers, meaning that those on zero-hours contracts and part-time workers—often low-skilled—will miss out. Governance will be a crucial element of ensuring that such schemes focus on individuals and life-long learning, rather than upskilling workers into roles that will soon also face automation.
According to the Mckinsey report, “growing awareness of the scale of the task ahead has yet to translate into action. Public spending on labour-force training and support has fallen for years in most member countries of the Organisation for Economic Co-Operation and Development,” which impacts more than just the low-skilled and poorly compensated.
The global impact of automation is also put into relief by research demonstrating that, between 1988 and 2015, income inequality increased throughout the world. Billions of people do not have the essentials of life as defined by the UN Sustainable Development goals.
Alongside climate change, automation is arguably tech’s biggest challenge. As with globalization, governments and employers—and us workers—ignore its potential consequences at risk to ourselves.
8. It can be known from Paragraph 2 that .
A. recent research has found ways to face automation
B. broad skills are of great significance in changing jobs
C. regional economy can affect the automatability of a job
D. it is even harder for workers to move up the social ladder
9. What is the author’s attitude towards retraining programs
A. Supportive. B. Critical.
C. Skeptical. D. Sympathetic.
10. According to the author, what is one consequence of automation
A. Less spending on training. B. A slowdown of globalization.
C. Social unrest and instability. D. An increase in income inequality.
11. The passage is written to .
A argue the urgency of creating new jobs B. compare globalization with automation
C. analyze the automatability of certain jobs D. stress the importance of upskilling workers
D
In the 1770s, an English doctor called Edward Jenner gave his gardener’s son cowpox (牛痘) and then deliberately infected him with smallpox (天花) to test his assumption that people who were frequently exposed to cowpox, a similar but less severe virus, would avoid catching smallpox. It worked and cowpox as the vaccine (疫苗) was highly effective. “Vaccination”, from the Latin word for cow, soon became commonplace.
Challenge trials are forms of research where, rather than relying on data from natural infections, we intentionally expose someone to a disease in order to test the effectiveness of a vaccine or treatment. Things have changed a lot since Jenner’s time, of course, when it was not uncommon for doctors to conduct this kind of research. Even so, there’s the continuous sense that there’s something immoral about making someone ill on purpose.
But this shouldn’t blind us to the extraordinary power of challenge trials. They could become increasingly important weapons in the medical research, in a situation where vaccine technology is advancing and the threat of diseases jumping from animals into human beings is increasing.
Much has been done to reduce the risks of challenge trials. Like respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), researchers have involved adults who are at a low risk of severe illness. These acts have already cut down a massive range of vaccine candidates. With their help, the world will soon have the first vaccines against RSV, which kills tens of thousands of newborn babies each year. But not all diseases are like these ones. We don’t always know the dangers volunteers might face; we don’t always have treatments ready. What then
We could, of course, just avoid these questions entirely, and rely on other types of research.But that doesn’t always work: sometimes, animal testing is tricky and uninformative, because the disease doesn‘t develop in the same way as it would in humans. In contrast, challenge trials can be deeply informative within weeks, with far fewer volunteers. And the benefits can be surprisingly high. Take the latest pandemic. At the end of last year, as the number of deaths is estimated to have reached about 17.8 million, it’s also estimated that 20 million had been saved by vaccines.In the years to come, they will hopefully save millions more.
In order to make sure we are as protected as possible from current and future threats, we should try to get rid of the misbelief in challenge trials, making them a more familiar part of our tool kits. Perhaps the greatest reward of all would be to make sure participants’ efforts are worthwhile: by designing trials to be fair and effective and applying them when and where they might make a real difference. In short, by helping them to save thousands, if not millions of lives.
12. The author tells the story of Edward Jenner mainly to______.
A. give a definition of challenge trials
B introduce the topic of challenge trials
C. highlight the effectiveness of his vaccine
D. explain the origin of the word “vaccination”
13. What can we infer from the passage
A. The issues behind challenge trials can be solved.
B. The dangers of challenge trials outweigh the benefits they bring.
C. Challenge trials can benefit numerous lives in spite of their risks.
D. Challenge trials can set back the development of vaccine technologies.
14 What does the author intend to tell us
A. People should still be careful about challenge trials.
B. A more open attitude should be taken towards challenge trials.
C. Challenge trials guarantee participants protection against threats.
D. More volunteers involved can improve the accuracy of challenge trials.
15. Which would be the best title for the passage
A. Should we use challenge trials to find cures
B. Can challenge trials be a block to medical progress
C. Can challenge trials be the end of infectious diseases
D. Should we replace animal testing with challenge trials
第二节(共5小题：每小题2分，共10分)
根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Many of us set goals, but sometimes we fail to achieve them. There are many causes why we don’t manage to realize our goals.____16____There is a way, though, to help address this problem: set reminders. People employ a psychological strategy called cognitive (认知的) offloading, where we use a physical action to reduce demands on our brain. Specifically, we may outsource our intentions from being stored in our brains to reminders outside our head.____17____
Understanding the benefits of cognitive offloading can improve our ability to remember and follow through with our intentions. The biggest benefit is simply that it improves memory performance. It increases the probability that we will work towards the goals we need to reach. ____18____“The more we offload unimportant information, such as items on a shopping list, the more we can use our brain for those more significant cognitive tasks, such as creativity,” said Sam Gilbert, professor at the University College London.
____19____Still, there are potential negative parts for it. We are more likely to forget what we offloaded if we no longer access our storage, such as when our smartphone dies. We also tend to offload the important things we most want to remember. In a surprise test where their reminders were wiped clean, the participants were more likely to forget the important items and recall the unimportant ones, that is, the more important the intention we want to remember, the more likely we are to offload it—and to forget it.
We’d better tend to create reminders when we think we need them, but not necessarily when we do need them. ____20____“If our understanding of our memory ability is wrong, this suggests that we will either overuse or underuse reminders,” Gilbert said. “We can learn by noticing the times that we have forgotten to do something and could have used reminders to help.”
A. Cognitive offloading has noticeable benefits.
B. One common reason is that we simply forget them.
C. Besides, it can free up our limited cognitive resources.
D. A good example can be documents on our smartphone calendars.
E. The process of cognitive offloading helps us identify false information.
F. Our beliefs about how good our memory is directly influence whether we set them.
G. Other experts say it’s too soon to understand how cognitive offloading affects our brains.

Parents often think that their kids should be good at studies and do well in sports. That’s usually the case because parents feel that could get their children admission to top colleges. However, Melissa and Mark Wimmer think differently.
Their 14-year-old son, Mike, is a prodigy. He is a member of Mensa, which is the world’s top IQ club. He completed his high school, associate’s and bachelor’s degrees all in three years. That’s not all. He also ran two tech companies, founded a third one that works towards controlling the population of lionfish, an invasive (入侵的) species.
But the parents are proud that they were able to help Mike with his social skills along with his intellectual skills. Melissa told CNBC that people expected “Young Sheldon” before they met her son. Young Sheldon is a television show about a child talent who is an indoor man and lacks social skills. “But once they talk to Mike, they understand that he’s just a normal 14-year-old that happens to be able to do amazing things,” said Melissa.
Mark and Melissa got to know about their child’s intelligence when he entered preschool. A child psychologist told them that their son would need a different course to support his fast-track development. Many parents aren’t comfortable with putting their children with 18-year-olds, but Mike’s parents saw the value in letting their child go through it. “I wanted him to be social and be able to deal with all the different personalities in the classrooms with older children,” said Melissa.
The parents shared that they were able to do this by letting Mike find his own voice and put it to use. “We let him order food when he’s 3 or 4 from the waiter or waitress and introduce himself to people. Those kinds of things are done to encourage him to engage with everyone else and be more comfortable talking to others outside of our environment” said Melissa.
Thanks to his parents, Mike has learned to get along with young and old alike.
4. What do the underlined words “a prodigy” in paragraph 2 refer to
A. A gifted person. B. A famous student.
C. A brilliant biologist. D. A successful businessman.
5. What can we infer about the child in the show Young Sheldon
A. He likes to make friends. B. He is a well-rounded man.
C. He is a popular child actor. D. He is poor at dealing with people.
6. How did Mark and Melissa discover Mike’s high intelligence
A. Through a recommendation from a child psychologist.
B. Through observing Mike’s behavior in preschool.
C. Through participating in a special educational program.
D. Through the information provided by Mike’s school teachers.
7. What do Mike’s parents do to improve his social skills
A. Teach him some communication rules. B. Encourage him to speak in class.
C. Place him in social situations. D. Let him go to school alone.
【答案】4. A 5. D 6. A 7. C

Upskilling is the future—but it must work for everyone
Automation and job replacement will be one of the most significant challenges for the global economy of the coming decades. A 2017 Mckinsey report established that 375 million workers will need to switch occupational categories by 2030. The World Economic Forum suggests that by 2022, automation will replace 75 million jobs globally—but create 133 million new ones.
Research into the likelihood that a job will be impacted by digitization has largely focused on the “automatability” of the role and the following economic regional and political effects of this. What this research doesn’t take into account is something more important for the millions of taxi drivers and retail workers across the globe: their likelihood of being able to change to another job that isn’t automatable. Recent research suggests that the answer to this may be that the skills that enable workers to move up the ladder to more complex roles within their current areas might be less important than broader skills that will enable workers to change across divisions.
In July, Amazon announced that it would spend $700 million retraining around 30% of its 300,000 US workforce. While praiseworthy, it will be interesting to see the outcome. In the UK, the National Retraining Scheme has largely been led by employers, meaning that those on zero-hours contracts and part-time workers—often low-skilled—will miss out. Governance will be a crucial element of ensuring that such schemes focus on individuals and life-long learning, rather than upskilling workers into roles that will soon also face automation.
According to the Mckinsey report, “growing awareness of the scale of the task ahead has yet to translate into action. Public spending on labour-force training and support has fallen for years in most member countries of the Organisation for Economic Co-Operation and Development,” which impacts more than just the low-skilled and poorly compensated.
The global impact of automation is also put into relief by research demonstrating that, between 1988 and 2015, income inequality increased throughout the world. Billions of people do not have the essentials of life as defined by the UN Sustainable Development goals.
Alongside climate change, automation is arguably tech’s biggest challenge. As with globalization, governments and employers—and us workers—ignore its potential consequences at risk to ourselves.
8. It can be known from Paragraph 2 that .
A. recent research has found ways to face automation
B. broad skills are of great significance in changing jobs
C. regional economy can affect the automatability of a job
D. it is even harder for workers to move up the social ladder
9. What is the author’s attitude towards retraining programs
A. Supportive. B. Critical.
C. Skeptical. D. Sympathetic.
10. According to the author, what is one consequence of automation
A. Less spending on training. B. A slowdown of globalization.
C. Social unrest and instability. D. An increase in income inequality.
11. The passage is written to .
A. argue the urgency of creating new jobs B. compare globalization with automation
C. analyze the automatability of certain jobs D. stress the importance of upskilling workers
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. D 11. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了自动化和就业替代将是未来几十年全球经济面临的最重大挑战之一，而要应对这一趋势，当务之急是提高自身技能，尤其是跨部门跳槽所需的广泛技能。文章说明了再培训项目存在的问题，指出除了气候变化，自动化可以说是科技面临的最大挑战。就像全球化一样，政府和雇主——以及美国工人——忽视了全球化对我们自身的潜在影响。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中Recent research suggests that the answer to this may be that the skills that enable workers to move up the ladder to more complex roles within their current areas might be less important than broader skills that will enable workers to change across divisions.可知最近的研究表明，这个问题的答案可能是，使工人能够在其目前的领域内晋升到更复杂的角色的技能，可能不如使工人能够跨部门转换的更广泛的技能重要。由此可知，广泛的技能在换工作中是非常重要的。故选B。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中In the UK, the National Retraining Scheme has largely been led by employers, meaning that those on zero-hours contracts and part-time workers—often low-skilled—will miss out.可知在英国，国家再培训计划在很大程度上是由雇主主导的，这意味着那些签订零时合同的人和兼职工人——往往技能低下——将会错过机会。由此可推知，作者对再培训计划持怀疑态度。故选C。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中The global impact of automation is also put into relief by research demonstrating that, between 1988 and 2015, income inequality increased throughout the world.可知研究表明，1988年至2015年期间，世界各地的收入不平等现象加剧，这也让自动化对全球的影响得到了缓解。由此可推知，作者认为自动化的一个后果是收入不平等加剧。故选D。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章标题Upskilling is the future—but it must work for everyone(技能提升是未来的趋势，但它必须适用于每个人)结合文章主要说明了自动化和就业替代将是未来几十年全球经济面临的最重大挑战之一，而要应对这一趋势，当务之急是提高自身技能，尤其是跨部门跳槽所需的广泛技能。文章说明了再培训项目存在的问题，指出除了气候变化，自动化可以说是科技面临的最大挑战。就像全球化一样，政府和雇主——以及工人——忽视了全球化对我们自身的潜在影响。由此可推知，这篇文章是为了强调提高工人技能的重要性。故选D。

In the 1770s, an English doctor called Edward Jenner gave his gardener’s son cowpox (牛痘) and then deliberately infected him with smallpox (天花) to test his assumption that people who were frequently exposed to cowpox, a similar but less severe virus, would avoid catching smallpox. It worked and cowpox as the vaccine (疫苗) was highly effective. “Vaccination”, from the Latin word for cow, soon became commonplace.
Challenge trials are forms of research where, rather than relying on data from natural infections, we intentionally expose someone to a disease in order to test the effectiveness of a vaccine or treatment. Things have changed a lot since Jenner’s time, of course, when it was not uncommon for doctors to conduct this kind of research. Even so, there’s the continuous sense that there’s something immoral about making someone ill on purpose.
But this shouldn’t blind us to the extraordinary power of challenge trials. They could become increasingly important weapons in the medical research, in a situation where vaccine technology is advancing and the threat of diseases jumping from animals into human beings is increasing.
Much has been done to reduce the risks of challenge trials. Like respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), researchers have involved adults who are at a low risk of severe illness. These acts have already cut down a massive range of vaccine candidates. With their help, the world will soon have the first vaccines against RSV, which kills tens of thousands of newborn babies each year. But not all diseases are like these ones. We don’t always know the dangers volunteers might face; we don’t always have treatments ready. What then
We could, of course, just avoid these questions entirely, and rely on other types of research.But that doesn’t always work: sometimes, animal testing is tricky and uninformative, because the disease doesn‘t develop in the same way as it would in humans. In contrast, challenge trials can be deeply informative within weeks, with far fewer volunteers. And the benefits can be surprisingly high. Take the latest pandemic. At the end of last year, as the number of deaths is estimated to have reached about 17.8 million, it’s also estimated that 20 million had been saved by vaccines.In the years to come, they will hopefully save millions more.
In order to make sure we are as protected as possible from current and future threats, we should try to get rid of the misbelief in challenge trials, making them a more familiar part of our tool kits. Perhaps the greatest reward of all would be to make sure participants’ efforts are worthwhile: by designing trials to be fair and effective and applying them when and where they might make a real difference. In short, by helping them to save thousands, if not millions of lives.
12. The author tells the story of Edward Jenner mainly to______.
A. give a definition of challenge trials
B. introduce the topic of challenge trials
C. highlight the effectiveness of his vaccine
D. explain the origin of the word “vaccination”
13. What can we infer from the passage
A. The issues behind challenge trials can be solved.
B. The dangers of challenge trials outweigh the benefits they bring.
C. Challenge trials can benefit numerous lives in spite of their risks.
D. Challenge trials can set back the development of vaccine technologies.
14. What does the author intend to tell us
A. People should still be careful about challenge trials.
B. A more open attitude should be taken towards challenge trials.
C. Challenge trials guarantee participants protection against threats.
D. More volunteers involved can improve the accuracy of challenge trials.
15. Which would be the best title for the passage
A. Should we use challenge trials to find cures
B. Can challenge trials be a block to medical progress
C. Can challenge trials be the end of infectious diseases
D. Should we replace animal testing with challenge trials
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. B 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。它提供了关于医学研究中挑战试验的信息，并阐述了挑战试验的优势和重要性。通过简明扼要地介绍，以及使用有据可查的数据和案例，解释挑战试验在医学研究中的用途和潜在效益。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“In the 1770s, an English doctor called Edward Jenner gave his gardener’s son cowpox (牛痘) and then deliberately infected him with smallpox (天花) to test his assumption that people who were frequently exposed to cowpox, a similar but less severe virus, would avoid catching smallpox.(18世纪70年代，一位名叫爱德华·詹纳(Edward Jenner)的英国医生让他的园丁的儿子染上牛痘，然后故意让他感染天花，以检验他的假设，即经常接触牛痘(一种类似但不那么严重的病毒)的人会避免感染天花)”以及第二段“Challenge trials are forms of research where, rather than relying on data from natural infections, we intentionally expose someone to a disease in order to test the effectiveness of a vaccine or treatment.(挑战试验是一种研究形式，我们不是依靠自然感染的数据，而是故意让某人接触某种疾病，以测试疫苗或治疗的有效性)”可知，作者讲述爱德华·詹纳的故事是为了介绍挑战试验的话题。故选B项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Even so, there’s the continuous sense that there’s something immoral about making someone ill on purpose.(即便如此，人们仍然认为故意让别人生病是不道德的)”以及第三段“But this shouldn’t blind us to the extraordinary power of challenge trials. They could become increasingly important weapons in the medical research, in a situation where vaccine technology is advancing and the threat of diseases jumping from animals into human beings is increasing.(但这不应该让我们忽视挑战试验的非凡力量。在疫苗技术不断进步、疾病从动物传染给人类的威胁日益增加的情况下，它们可能成为医学研究中越来越重要的武器)”可知，尽管有风险，但挑战试验可以使许多生命受益。故选C项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“In order to make sure we are as protected as possible from current and future threats, we should try to get rid of the misbelief in challenge trials, making them a more familiar part of our tool kits. Perhaps the greatest reward of all would be to make sure participants’ efforts are worthwhile: by designing trials to be fair and effective and applying them when and where they might make a real difference. In short, by helping them to save thousands, if not millions of lives.(为了确保我们尽可能免受当前和未来的威胁，我们应该努力消除对挑战试验的误解，使其成为我们工具箱中更为常见的一部分。也许最大的回报将是确保参与者的努力是值得的：通过设计公平、有效的试验，并在可能产生真正差异的时间和地点应用这些试验。简而言之，通过帮助他们拯救成千上万，甚至数百万人的生命)”可知，本文作者想告诉我们对挑战试验应采取更开放的态度。故选B项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“Challenge trials are forms of research where, rather than relying on data from natural infections, we intentionally expose someone to a disease in order to test the effectiveness of a vaccine or treatment. Things have changed a lot since Jenner’s time, of course, when it was not uncommon for doctors to conduct this kind of research. Even so, there’s the continuous sense that there’s something immoral about making someone ill on purpose.(挑战试验是一种研究形式，我们不是依靠自然感染的数据，而是故意让某人接触某种疾病，以测试疫苗或治疗的有效性。当然，与詹纳的时代相比，情况发生了很大变化，当时医生进行这类研究并不罕见。即便如此，人们仍然认为故意让别人生病是不道德的)”以及纵观全文可知，本文讲述了尽管有风险，但挑战试验可以使许多生命受益，并且目前已采取很多方法来降低这种风险，呼吁人们对挑战试验应采取更开放的态度。所以A项“Should we use challenge trials to find cures ”是本文最好的标题。故选A项。
第二节(共5小题：每小题2分，共10分)
根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Many of us set goals, but sometimes we fail to achieve them. There are many causes why we don’t manage to realize our goals.____16____There is a way, though, to help address this problem: set reminders. People employ a psychological strategy called cognitive (认知的) offloading, where we use a physical action to reduce demands on our brain. Specifically, we may outsource our intentions from being stored in our brains to reminders outside our head.____17____
Understanding the benefits of cognitive offloading can improve our ability to remember and follow through with our intentions. The biggest benefit is simply that it improves memory performance. It increases the probability that we will work towards the goals we need to reach. ____18____“The more we offload unimportant information, such as items on a shopping list, the more we can use our brain for those more significant cognitive tasks, such as creativity,” said Sam Gilbert, professor at the University College London.
____19____Still, there are potential negative parts for it. We are more likely to forget what we offloaded if we no longer access our storage, such as when our smartphone dies. We also tend to offload the important things we most want to remember. In a surprise test where their reminders were wiped clean, the participants were more likely to forget the important items and recall the unimportant ones, that is, the more important the intention we want to remember, the more likely we are to offload it—and to forget it.
We’d better tend to create reminders when we think we need them, but not necessarily when we do need them. ____20____“If our understanding of our memory ability is wrong, this suggests that we will either overuse or underuse reminders,” Gilbert said. “We can learn by noticing the times that we have forgotten to do something and could have used reminders to help.”
A. Cognitive offloading has noticeable benefits.
B. One common reason is that we simply forget them.
C. Besides, it can free up our limited cognitive resources.
D. A good example can be documents on our smartphone calendars.
E. The process of cognitive offloading helps us identify false information.
F. Our beliefs about how good our memory is directly influence whether we set them.
G. Other experts say it’s too soon to understand how cognitive offloading affects our brains.
【答案】16. B 17. D 18. C 19. A 20. F
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。介绍了认知卸载的好处和坏处，以及什么时候创建提醒。
【16题详解】
根据前文“There are many causes why we don’t manage to realize our goals.(我们无法实现目标的原因有很多)”可知，此处是说明无法实现目标的原因，所以B项“One common reason is that we simply forget them.(一个常见的原因是我们只是忘记了它们)”符合主题，并引出下文“There is a way, though, to help address this problem: set reminders.(不过，有一个方法可以帮助解决这个问题：设置提醒)”。故选B项。
【17题详解】
根据前文“People employ a psychological strategy called cognitive (认知的) offloading, where we use a physical action to reduce demands on our brain. Specifically, we may outsource our intentions from being stored in our brains to reminders outside our head.(人们采用一种叫做认知卸载的心理策略，即我们用身体动作来减少对大脑的需求。具体来说，我们可能会把我们的意图从储存在大脑里外包给大脑外的提醒)”可知，此处讲述了设置提醒具体方法，所以D项“A good example can be documents on our smartphone calendars.(一个很好的例子就是我们智能手机日历上的文档)”是对此方法的具体举例，符合文意。故选D项。
【18题详解】
根据前文“Understanding the benefits of cognitive offloading can improve our ability to remember and follow through with our intentions. The biggest benefit is simply that it improves memory performance. It increases the probability that we will work towards the goals we need to reach.(了解认知卸载的好处可以提高我们的记忆能力和贯彻我们的意图的能力。最大的好处就是提高了记忆性能。它增加了我们朝着我们需要达到的目标努力的可能性)”可知，此处在讲述了解认知卸载的好处，根据后文““The more we offload unimportant information, such as items on a shopping list, the more we can use our brain for those more significant cognitive tasks, such as creativity,” said Sam Gilbert, professor at the University College London.(伦敦大学学院的教授山姆·吉尔伯特说：“我们越不去想那些不重要的信息，比如购物清单上的东西，我们就越能把大脑用于那些更重要的认知任务，比如创造力。”)”是在讲述另一个好处，所以空处应是C项“Besides, it can free up our limited cognitive resources.(此外，它可以释放我们有限的认知资源)”符合文意，描述另一个好处，引出下文。故选C项。
【19题详解】
分析设空，位于段首，根据后文“Still, there are potential negative parts for it.(不过，它也有潜在的负面影响)”可知，空处应是承上启下的作用，由上文介绍好处，转到讲述缺点，所以A项“Cognitive offloading has noticeable benefits.(认知卸载有明显的好处)”符合文意，承接上文，并和后文构成转折关系。故选A项。
【20题详解】
根据前文“We’d better tend to create reminders when we think we need them, but not necessarily when we do need them.(当我们认为我们需要提醒时，我们最好创建提醒，但不一定是在我们确实需要的时候)”以及后文““If our understanding of our memory ability is wrong, this suggests that we will either overuse or underuse reminders,” Gilbert said.(吉尔伯特说：“如果我们对记忆能力的理解是错误的，这表明我们要么过度使用提醒，要么使用不足。”)”可知，空处应是过渡句，所以F项“Our beliefs about how good our memory is directly influence whether we set them.(我们对自己记忆力好坏的看法直接影响到我们是否能记好)”是对前文的进一步说明，并引出下文。故选F项。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了宣纸的历史、工艺及价值。
【41题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：宣纸一词最早出现在唐代学者张彦远的《古往今来名画论》中，他在书中将宣纸描述为理想的书画载体。分析句子结构可知，此处使用了非限制性定语从句，先行词为“On Famous Paintings through the Ages（《古往今来名画论》）”指物，前已有介词，使用介词+关系代词which引导定语从句，故填which。
【42题详解】

【43题详解】
考查被动语态。句意：这一时期，来自中国东部安徽省泾县的手工宣纸因其质量上乘而被列为朝廷贡品。分析句子结构可知，此处缺少谓语动词，根据时间状语during the period可知，陈述过去的事情要使用一般过去时，而Handmade Xuan paper与 list之间为被动关系，要使用一般过去时的被动语态，故填was listed。

【47题详解】
考查形容词。句意：在造纸过程中，树皮与稻草的比例不同，可以创造出最适合写意水墨画或书法艺术表达的不同画布。根据设空前的best以及名词canvases可知，此处需要使用形容词短语作后置定语，表示“适合”用suited for，故填suited。

The other day, we took a family trip to the lively town. After they arrived, my family wandered around in the town. I, therefore, was in no mood to appreciate of the beautiful view. I was too busy worrying about my schoolwork that I failed to please myself. Walked aimlessly, I was attracted by a sleeping cat as it lies on the side of the road. How relaxed it looked! The dusty road seemed just as comfortable as a soft bed to it. Then it hit me I was supposed to relax and simple enjoy life just like that cat. We should value every precious moments when we can freely laugh and play.
【答案】1. the→a 2. they→we 3. therefore→however 4.删除of 5. too→so 6. Walked→Walking 7. lies→lay 8.在me后加that 9. simple→simply 10. moments→moment
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇记叙文。文章讲述了一天作者和家人去一个充满活力的小镇上去旅行，从旅行中作者领悟到要珍惜每个可以自由地欢笑和玩耍的珍贵时刻。
【详解】1.考查冠词。句意：前几天，我们全家去一个热闹的小镇旅行。此处泛指一个热闹的小镇，lively以辅音音素开头，所以用不定冠词a。故将the改为a。
2.考查代词。句意：我们到达后，我的家人在镇上闲逛。本句中后半句指的是“我的家人在镇上闲逛”，所以应该是我们达到之后，前后句中人称一致，用人称代词主格we。故将they改为we。
3.考查副词。句意：然而，我却没有心情去欣赏美丽的景色。前句讲述的是“我的家人在镇上闲逛”，本句讲述的是“我没有心情欣赏美丽的景色”，前后为转折关系，用副词however。故将therefore改为however。
4.考查及物动词。句意：然而，我却没有心情去欣赏美丽的景色。appreciate表示“欣赏”为及物动词，后面直接加宾语。故将of删除。
5.考查结果状语从句。句意：我太忙了，担心我功课，我没能让自己高兴。分析句子结构可知，此处应该为so+adj.+that...引导结果状语从句，表示“如此……以至于……”。故将too改为so。
6.考查非谓语动词。句意：漫无目的地走着，我被一只躺在路边熟睡的猫吸引住了。分析句子结构可知，逻辑主语I与非谓语动词walk之间为主谓关系，表主动，walk需要使用现在分词形式作状语。故将Walked改为Walking。
7.考查时态。句意：漫无目的地走着，我被一只躺在路边熟睡的猫吸引住了。本篇文章描述的是过去发生的事情，谓语动词lie使用一般过去时，lie表示“躺”，过去式为lay。故将lies改为lay。
8.考查主语从句。句意：然后我突然想到，我应该像那只猫一样放松，简单地享受生活。分析句子结构可知，it为句子的形式主语，真正的主语为“I was supposed to relax and simple enjoy life just like that cat.”，句子中缺少连接词，从句成分完整，所以用that，it hit sb. that...(某人突然想到)是固定句型。故在me后加that。
9.考查副词。句意：然后我突然想到，我应该像那只猫一样放松，简单地享受生活。分析句子结构可知，副词simply作状语修饰动词enjoy，此处表示“简单地享受”。故将simple改为simply。
10.考查名词单复数。句意：我们应该珍惜每一个我们可以自由地欢笑和玩耍的珍贵时刻。every表示“每一个”后面加名词单数。故将moments改为moment。
