That’s the case of Vivian Maier, who’s now considered to be one of the most important American streetphotographers of the last century, alongside famous names like Diane Arbus and Henri Cartier-Bresson. But she remained unknown for much of her life, and it was only a chance encounter with a box of negatives that put her inthe spotlight.Details of her life are unclear, but she was born in New York City in the 1920s to European parents. Maiergrew up in France before returning to the U. S., where she spent several decades working as a nanny in Chicago towealthy families. During her days off Maier is thought to have taken more than 100, 000 photographs of peopleand city scenes in Chicago, yet she kept the photos to herself-many of them never developed.Skip ahead to 2007, a Chicago historian and collector, John Maloof, came across Maier’s work by accidentafter purchasing a box oftens of thousands of undeveloped negatives for $380 Sat an auction (拍卖) . As hedeveloped them, Maloof realized they were more than just photos. He was looking at evocative (唤起) artillustrating a Chicago of the mid-20-century that nobody had never seen. Maloof worked to uncover who thephotographer was, acquiring more and more of her work. But before he could locate her, Maier had already passedaway in 2009, having slipped on ice and never recovering from her head injury.While Maloof researched Maier’s work, more details emerged. She kept to herself, her employers said, andshe would spend her free days taking photos on the streets of Chicago with a Rolleiflex camera. According toMaloof, the children Maier took care of knew she was constantly taking photos, yet she never showed her photosto anyone. Maier also traveled around the world, as indicated by some of her photos.Other collectors began to acquire Maier’s photos, but Maloof owns much of her work. He released a book,Vivian Maier: Street Photographer, in 2011, and his documentary, Finding Vivian Maier, came out in 2013.24 .Which word can be used to describe Vivian’s life A .Risky. B .Wealthy. C .Mysterious. D .Miserable.25 .What do we know about Vivian Maier A .She was born in France.B .She never developed her photos.C .She enjoyed great fame in her life.D .She took photos of Chicago and other cities.26 .What did Maloof do after he found Maier’s photos A .He approached Maier’s former employers.B .He managed to meet the artist in the flesh.C .He released a collection of Maier’s work.D .He purchased more developed negatives.27 .What can be inferred about Vivian Maier’s photos A .They were presented to her employers.B .They were meant to earn her a fortune.C .They were taken by a professional artist.D .They were of artistic and historical value.CUnlike octopuses (章鱼), we don’t have brains in our limbs. So we can’t really “remember” anything withour arms and legs. But it’s true that once we learn how to do something physical—whether riding a bike orweightlifting—it becomes easier and easier to do it without conscious thought. Most people are referring to thisphenomenon when they talk about “muscle memory”. They think the secret to learning a skill is to do it over andover again until they have developed muscle memory. But when biologists and neuroscientists (神经学家) study it,they mean at least two slightly different things.A recent research by biologists at the University of Oslo found that the key indicators of muscular growth—myonuclei (肌核), which are inside muscle fibers, won’t disappear as muscles shrink, which suggests that our myonuclei are doing at least some of the remembering. The researchers have noted that muscle built during one’s younger years might functionally serve to allow individuals to “bank” myonuclei that could be drawn upon laterin life to slow the effects of aging.Neuroscientists, on the other hand, believe that learning to ride a bike is an exercise in episode memory: You can know how to ride a bike without being able to explain how you’re doing it. It feels to us as if that memory is stored in our muscles and they’re remembering how to perform an action without our really being aware of it. Butthe reality is that the activity is happening in our brains. “The processes that are important for learning andmemory of new skills occur mainly in the cognitive (认知) system, not in the muscles,” explained AinslieJohnstone, a neuroscientist at Oxford University. The parts of your brain responsible for that movement develop stronger connections between neurons that serve as the representation for the motion, and it’s these connectionsthat make the memory better and easier to access.Your new understanding of muscle memory is probably some combination of the two basic ideas. Anyway,the proverb, “practice makes perfect”, always holds true for us non-octopus creatures.28 .What is people’s common belief in “muscle memory” A .It relies heavily on the passion for sports.B .It can refer to two slightly different things.C .It means remembering things with our arms and legs.D .It is acquired from frequent repetition of a movement.29 .Which of the following may biologists agree with A .Muscle memory is a short-term memory.B .Muscle memory performs best at an old age.C .Myonuclei fail to function as muscles disappear.D .Myonuclei help explain the phenomenon of “muscle memory” .30 .What plays a major role in “muscle memory” according to Ainslie Johnstone A .Personal feelings. B .Episode memoriesC .Neuron connections. D .Muscle myonuclei.31 .What can be the most suitable title for the text A .How different are we from an octopus B .What is the secret to being skillful at sports C .Muscle memory is real,but more than what you think.D .The existence of muscle memory is being challenged.DWe live in an age when all scientific knowledge — from the safety of vaccines (疫苗) to the reality ofclimate change — faces organized and often angry opposition. Doubters have declared war on the consensus (共识) of experts. It seems that people have turned argumentative overnight.In a sense, all this is not surprising. Our lives are affected by science and technology as never before. Theworld seems full of real and imaginary dangers. Though scientists agree that the Ebola virus is spread only bydirect contact with blood or body fluids (液体), if you type “airborne Ebola” into an Internet search engine, you’llfind that some people believe that this virus has almost supernatural powers.In this often confusing world, we need to rely on science to decide whether what we choose to believe has abasis in the laws of nature or not. But science doesn’t come naturally to most of us. Science has often led us totruths that are really mind-blowing. For example, although the roundness of the Earth has been known forthousands of years, some still feel it hard to accept.Even when people become scientifically educated, most of them still try to make sense of the world byrelying on personal experience, stories or emotions rather than statistics. When they hear a number of cancer casesin a town with a dangerous waste dump (垃圾场), they believe pollution caused the cancers. Yet two thingshappening together doesn’t mean one caused the other. Even when they turn to the Internet, they let in only theinformation they agree with to strengthen beliefs that have already been shaped by their worldview.How can scientists convince doubters Throwing more facts at people may not be enough. More efforts aresupposed to be made.32 .What’s the text mainly about A .How people view the world. B .What challenges science faces.C .Whether science is worth respect. D .Why people show disbelief in science.33 .What does the underlined word “mind-blowing” probably mean A .Unbelievable. B .Desirable. C .Dangerous. D .Obvious.34 .How do “people” in paragraph 4 understand the world A .They apply logical thinking.B .They stick to their own beliefs.C .They form the views on assumptions.D .They rely on the information on the Internet.35 .How does the author prove his opinions A .Through comparison. B .Through quotation.C .By giving examples. D .By making definitions.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。During the process of learning English, we students are bound to run across a variety of difficulties.

He was looking at evocative (唤起) art illustrating a Chicago of the mid-20-century that nobody had never seen.(当他将底片冲洗出来后, Maloof 意识到它们不仅仅是照片。他看到的是能够唤起人们怀旧的、描绘 了一个无人见过的 20 世纪中期的芝加哥的艺术)”可知, Vivian Maier 所拍摄的照片兼具艺术和历史价值。故选 D。28 .D 29 .D 30 .C 31 .C【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章介绍了生物学家和神经科学家对肌肉记忆的研究, 以及得出的不同角度的认知。28 .细节理解题。根据第一段“Most people are referring to this phenomenon when they talk about ‘musclememory’. They think the secret to learning a skill is to do it over and over again until they have developed muscle memory. (大多数人在谈到‘肌肉记忆’时都会提到这种现象。他们认为学习一项技能的秘诀是一遍又一遍地 做, 直到他们发展出肌肉记忆)”可知, 人们普遍认为肌肉记忆是通过频繁重复一个动作而获得的。故选 D项。29 .细节理解题。根据第二段“A recent research by biologists at the University of Oslo found that the keyindicators of muscular growth —myonuclei (肌核), which are inside muscle fibers, won’t disappear as musclesshrink, which suggests that our myonuclei are doing at least some of the remembering. The researchers have notedthat muscle built during one’s younger years might functionally serve to allow individuals to ‘bank’ myonucleithat could be drawn upon later in life to slow the effects of aging. (奥斯陆大学生物学家最近的一项研究发现, 肌肉生长的关键指标——肌肉纤维内的肌核素不会随着肌肉收缩而消失, 这表明我们的肌核至少在做一些 记忆。研究人员指出,年轻时形成的肌肉在功能上可能有助于个人‘储存’肌核,以便在晚年使用,以减缓衰老的影响)”可知,生物学家认为,肌肉记忆和肌肉中的机核有关,故选 D 项。30.细节理解题。根据第三段的最后一句“The parts of your brain responsible for that movement develop strongerconnections between neurons that serve as the representation for the motion,and it’s these connections that makethe memory better and easier to access. (大脑中负责运动的部分在代表运动的神经元之间建立了更强的联系, 正是这些联系使记忆更好、更容易获得)”可知,根据 Ainslie Johnstone 所说,大脑中负责运动的神经元之间的联系促进了肌肉记忆。故选 C 项。31 .主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第一段中“But it’s true that once we learn how to do somethingphysical—whether riding a bike or weightlifting—it becomes easier and easier to do it without conscious thought.Most people are referring to this phenomenon when they talk about ‘muscle memory’. They think the secret tolearning a skill is to do it over and over again until they have developed muscle memory. But when biologists and neuroscientists (神经学家) study it, they mean at least two slightly different things. (但事实是, 一旦我们学会了 如何做一些身体上的事情——无论是骑自行车还是举重——就会变得越来越容易,不需要有意识的思考。 大多数人在谈论‘肌肉记忆’时都会提到这种现象。他们认为学习一项技能的秘诀是一遍又一遍地做,直到 他们发展出肌肉记忆。但当生物学家和神经科学家研究它时,他们的意思至少有两种略微不同的东西)”可 知, 人们可以靠肌肉记忆完成一些事, 但是生物学家和神经科学家给我们的解释令我们对肌肉记忆有了新 的认知。C 项“Muscle memory is real,but more than what you think (肌肉记忆是真实存在的, 但比你想象的要多)”,作标题比较贴切,故选 C 项。32 .D 33 .A 34 .B 35 .C【导语】本文是一篇议论文。我们生活在这样一个时代, 从疫苗的安全性到气候变化的现实, 所有的科学知识都面临着有组织的、经常是愤怒的反对。文章论述了为什么人们对科学表示怀疑。32.主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“We live in an age when all scientific knowledge — from the safety of vaccines (疫苗) to the reality of climate change — faces organized and often angry opposition.

(但科学对我们大多数人来说并不是天生的)”及第四段中的“Even whenpeople become scientifically educated, most of them still try to make sense of the world by relying on personalexperience, stories or emotions rather than statistics.(即使人们接受了科学教育, 他们中的大多数人仍然试图通 过个人经验、故事或情感而不是统计数据来理解世界)”可知,文章主要论述了为什么人们对科学表示怀疑。故选 D。33 .词句猜测题。根据划线词下文“For example, although the roundness of the Earth has been known forthousands of years, some still feel it hard to accept.(例如,尽管地球的圆度已经有数千年的历史,但有些人仍然觉得难以接受)”可知,有些事实和真相让一些人难以接受。由此推知,划线词 mind-blowing 与unbelievable(难以置信的)意思接近。故选 A。34 .推理判断题。根据第四段“Even when people become scientifically educated, most of them still try to make sense of the world by relying on personal experience, stories or emotions rather than statistics. When they hear anumber of cancer cases in a town with a dangerous waste dump (垃圾场), they believe pollution caused thecancers. Yet two things happening together doesn’t mean one caused the other. Even when they turn to theInternet, they let in only the information they agree with to strengthen beliefs that have already been shaped bytheir worldview.(即使人们接受了科学教育, 他们中的大多数人仍然试图依靠个人经验、故事或情感来理解 世界, 而不是统计数据。当他们听说一个有危险垃圾场的小镇上有一些癌症病例时, 他们认为是污染导致 了癌症。然而, 两件事同时发生并不意味着一件事导致了另一件事。即使他们求助于互联网, 他们也只允 许他们同意的信息进入,以加强已经被他们的世界观所塑造的信念)”可推知,第四段中的人们依靠自己的信念去理解世界。故选 B。35 .推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Though scientists agree that the Ebola virus is spread only by direct contact with blood or body fluids (液体), if you type “airborne Ebola” into an Internet search engine, you’ll find that somepeople believe that this virus has almost supernatural powers.(尽管科学家们一致认为埃博拉病毒只能通过直接接触血液或体液传播,但如果你在互联网搜索引擎中输入“空气传播埃博拉” ,你会发现一些人相信这种 病毒几乎具有超自然的力量)”,第三段中的“For example, although the roundness of the Earth has been known for thousands of years, some still feel it hard to accept.(例如, 尽管地球的圆度已经有数千年的历史, 但有些人 仍然觉得难以接受)”和第四段中的“When they hear a number of cancer cases in a town with a dangerous wastedump (垃圾场), they believe pollution caused the cancers. Yet two things happening together doesn’t mean onecaused the other.(当他们听说一个有危险垃圾场的小镇上有一些癌症病例时,他们认为是污染导致了癌症。 然而,两件事同时发生并不意味着一件事导致了另一件事)”可推知,作者通过举例来证明了他的观点。故选 C。36 .C 37 .G 38 .A 39 .D 40 .F【导语】这是一篇说明文,文章介绍了一些英语学习的实用建议。36 .空前一句“Worse still, I couldn’t memorize the new words.(更糟的是, 我记不住新单词)”提到自己的学习 困境,结合空后“Hopefully, he offered me some important suggestions, which have helped me out.(满怀希望地, 他给了我一些重要的建议,这些建议帮助了我)”可知,空处应是提及向某个人求助,指明空后一句中“he”的具体指代对象, C 项“后来,我向我的英语老师求助”符合语境。故选 C。37 .根据空前“Read more.(多阅读)”可知, 本段是讲述多阅读, G 项“试着每周至少读一本书和几本杂志”符合语境,故选 G。38 .空处是段落主题句,根据本段中“Read entries for words you aren’t yet familiar with.
