The French couple, Katia and Maurice Krafft, shared an attraction to volcanoes, one that perhaps approached an addiction. There are many people interested in volcanoes, but very few who are willing to climb an erupting crater(火山口) and approach the flowing lava(岩浆). Katia and Maurice did a lot of work, shooting photographs and films of volcano eruptions, always being the first on the scene of an active volcano, and the ones who fearlessly came to just a few feet from lava flows. They were not only highly respected by volcanologists all around the world, but also envied.
The couple metinthe1960s when they were both students at the University of Strasbourg, and got married in 1970. Both of them were attracted to volcanoes since childhood. Upon graduating, Katia and Maurice pursued their careers as volcano observers with no financial support at all, just their own savings, which they spent on a trip to Stromboli to observe the eruption of the volcano.
They took an incredible and valuable set of photographs of the near-continuous eruption. People were curious about the photographs, while public officials working on threatening volcanoes found them useful. This interest in their work helped the French couple to establish a career in documenting eruptions. Now able to obtain financial support for their work, Katia and Maurice visited hundreds, if not thousands, of volcanoes around the globe. They traveled and recorded eruptions, always getting closer to the danger than anyone else.
In June 1991, along with 40 other people, the Kraffts set out to film the eruption at Mount Unzen in Japan. A sudden and unexpected flow took place and all the people in its path were killed. Later investigation revealed that Katia’s and Maurice’s bodies were closest to the volcano crater. They were 44 and 45 years old respectively.
In their 25-year-long career, the couple documented hundreds of volcanoes, and their work consists of thousands of sill photos, 300 hours off film materials, a number of books, and scientific articles published in Bulletin of Volcanology.
4. When did the couple start their careers as volcano observers
A. As children. B. While studying at college.
C. When leaving university. D. After getting married.
5. What is unique to the couple’s photographs of volcanoes
A. They focused on threatening volcanoes.
B. They were taken with their own savings.
C. They recorded continuous eruption of volcanoes.
D. They were shot at a shorter distance from lava flows.
6. What can we infer from the last two paragraphs
A. The couple didn’t get prepared before setting out.
B. The couple had been married for 25 years before the accident.
C. The couple made a great fortune with what they shot.
D. The couple went ahead of the rest at the last minute.
7. Which of the following can best describe the couple
A. Caring and demanding. B. Promising and optimistic.
C. Brave and devoted. D. Dynamic and calm.
C
Feeling unhappy depressed or lonely could speed up the ageing processes more than smoking or even certain diseases, researchers have suggested. While everyone has an age based on their date of birth — their “chronological age”, they also have what is known as a “biological age”, based on the ageing of the body’s functions, influenced by gene is, lifestyle and other factors. Studies have previously suggested the higher the biological age, the higher the risk of various diseases, and the risk of death.
Now researchers say they have created a digital model of ageing, revealing the importance of psychological health. “Your body and soul are connected — this is our main message,” said Fedor Galkin, a co-author of the study and lead scientist at the Hong Kong startup Deep Longevity.
“We demonstrate that psychological factors, such as feeling unhappy or being lonely, add up to 1.65 years to one’s biological age,” they write. While Galkin said the figure is an estimate, not least as the model assumes that different feelings such as hopelessness or fearfulness are independent of each other, the study highlights the importance of psychological state in how fast we age.
“Taking care of your psychological heath is the greatest contributor that you can have to slowing down your pace of ageing,” he said. The team also report that people who smoke are predicted to be 15 months older than their non-smoking peers, while being married reduces biological age by around seven months. People living in rural areas are predicted to be almost five months older than their urban peers.
“But,” he said, “it is unlikely that isolation and loneliness are truly worse risk factors for health than smoking because the study only looked at data collected at one point in time. The researchers did not follow up participants to show that those with psychological distress actually aged more rapidly,” he said. “It will be important in the future to test whether these predictions are fulfilled by repeating testing over a number of years.”
8. What does the underlined words “chronological age” in Paragraph 1 mean
A. Mental age. B. Age measured by time.
C. Biological age. D. Age of psychological development.
9. What idea does the author want to convey in Paragraph 3
A. Psychological factors add up to 1.65 years to one’s chronological age.
B. External factor can speedup people’s ageing process.
C. Psychological state is a crucial factor in people’s ageing process.
D. Physical health can slowdown you pace of ageing.
10. What is the author’s attitude to the research
A. In different. B. Favorable. C. Disapproving. D. Objective.
11. What is the main idea of the passage
A. Depression and loneliness may slowdown the ageing process.
B. Isolation and depression maybe worse risk factors foraging than smoking.
C. Smoking is harmful to our physical and mental health.
D. People with depression need others’ company and understanding.
D
Most able-bodied people take their ability to perform simple daily tasks for granted — when they reach for a warm cup of coffee they can feel its weight and temperature and adjust their grasp accordingly so that no liquid is spilled. People with full sensory and motor control of their arms and hands can feel that they’ve made contact with an object the instant they touch or grasp it, allowing them to start moving or lifting it with confidence.
But those tasks become much more difficult when a person operates an artificial arm, let alone a mind-controlled one.
In a paper published in Science, a team of bio engineers from the University of Pittsburgh describe how adding brain stimulation that generates tactile (触觉的) sensations makes it easier for the operator to use a brain-controlled robotic arm. In the experiment, combining vision with artificial tactile feedback cut the time spent grasping and moving objects in half, from 20.9 to 10.2 seconds.
Study participant Nathan Copeland, who was left with limited use of his arms after a car crash, is the first person in the world who was implanted with tiny electrode arrays (电极阵列) in his brain. Arrays allow him to not only control the robotic arm with his mind, but also to receive tactile feedback.
In a series of tests, where Copeland was asked to pick up and move various objects from a table to a raised platform, providing tactile feedback through electrical stimulation allowed him to complete tasks twice as fast compared to tests without stimulation.
“Even though the sensation isn’t natural, that never bothers me,” said Copeland.
“When even limited and imperfect sensation is restored, the person’s performance improved in a pretty significant way. We still have a long way to go in terms of making the sensations more realistic and bringing this technology to people’s homes, but the closer we can get to recreating the normal inputs to the brain, the better off we will be,” said Robert Gaunt, co-senior author of the study.
12. What does the author intend to tell us in Paragraph 1
A. The value of being healthy. B. The importance of the sense of touch.
C. The simplicity of daily tasks. D. The advantages of able-bodied people.
13. What’s the purpose of implanting the arrays into Copeland’s brain
A. To allow him to feel the objects. B. To improve his test performance.
C. To connect his senses of sight and touch. D. To stimulate him to complete more tasks.
14. What can we learn from Robert Caunt’s words about the study
A. It’s unreliable. B. It’s promising.
C. It’s perfect. D. It’s theoretical.
15. What’s the best title for the text
A. Application of Biotechnology in Medical Care.
B Restoration of Lost Sensations Proves Possible.
C. Development of Mind-Controlled Robotic Arms.
D. Sense of Touch Improves Control of a Robotic Arm.

For example, take the initiative to handle your schoolwork, chores around your house and job responsibilities seriously. Do the responsible thing without having to be told. Your attitude and behavior are two important factors in whether other people will respect you or not. Finally, you need to show that you believe your life is important.____20____Your study habits, what you do with your spare time, what outside interests you have and many similar factors show what you think about yourself. As people observe your attitude and behavior, these observations will go a long way toward your gaining their respect that you hopefully deserve.
A. Respect creates harmony.
B. Respect is a two-way street.
C. You have plenty of time to earn that respect.
D. Act with the greatest respect toward yourself.
E. Make use of every chance to show your ability.

Grandma was not a writer, but she did write books. She not only wrote them but also illustrated them with beautiful pictures. The handwritten pages were carefully bound together with thread. The books were not intended to be published. They were specially written for her grandchildren. We refer to the books as the rabbit series. For me, it’s Rabbit Abbey and for my younger brother and younger sister Rabbit Tony and Rabbit Candy.
My first rabbit book was Rabbit Abbey Went to Kindergarten, which Grandma read to me while pointing to the illustrations when I was three years old. I was too young to remember everything clearly so I reread it when I was older to remember the content of the book and understand how it helped to get me prepared to r kindergarten and adapt to it. Mom said I was the only kid who didn’t try on the first day of kindergarten. I seemed to have enjoyed myself and I even tried to comfort other kids.
As I grew older, I read Grandma’s Rabbit Abbey Went to Primary School, Rabbit Abbey Went to Junior High and Rabbit Abbey Went to Senior High, all of which looked like children’s books but I always expected a Rabbit Abbey book before I stepped into a new stage of my life. It was about preparation to adapt but it became more of a sense of ceremony as I grew up.
At Senior High, I had great academic performance and was determined to go to college after graduation. I guessed Grandma in us I have started her Rabbit Abbey Went to College and wondered that it would be like. Would Rabbit Abbey make great friends Would he fall in love Or...

The French couple, Katia and Maurice Krafft, shared an attraction to volcanoes, one that perhaps approached an addiction. There are many people interested in volcanoes, but very few who are willing to climb an erupting crater(火山口) and approach the flowing lava(岩浆). Katia and Maurice did a lot of work, shooting photographs and films of volcano eruptions, always being the first on the scene of an active volcano, and the ones who fearlessly came to just a few feet from lava flows. They were not only highly respected by volcanologists all around the world, but also envied.
The couple metinthe1960s when they were both students at the University of Strasbourg, and got married in 1970. Both of them were attracted to volcanoes since childhood. Upon graduating, Katia and Maurice pursued their careers as volcano observers with no financial support at all, just their own savings, which they spent on a trip to Stromboli to observe the eruption of the volcano.
They took an incredible and valuable set of photographs of the near-continuous eruption. People were curious about the photographs, while public officials working on threatening volcanoes found them useful. This interest in their work helped the French couple to establish a career in documenting eruptions. Now able to obtain financial support for their work, Katia and Maurice visited hundreds, if not thousands, of volcanoes around the globe. They traveled and recorded eruptions, always getting closer to the danger than anyone else.
In June 1991, along with 40 other people, the Kraffts set out to film the eruption at Mount Unzen in Japan. A sudden and unexpected flow took place and all the people in its path were killed. Later investigation revealed that Katia’s and Maurice’s bodies were closest to the volcano crater. They were 44 and 45 years old respectively.
In their 25-year-long career, the couple documented hundreds of volcanoes, and their work consists of thousands of sill photos, 300 hours off film materials, a number of books, and scientific articles published in Bulletin of Volcanology.
4. When did the couple start their careers as volcano observers
A. As children. B. While studying at college.
C. When leaving university. D. After getting married.
5. What is unique to the couple’s photographs of volcanoes
A. They focused on threatening volcanoes.
B. They were taken with their own savings.
C. They recorded continuous eruption of volcanoes.
D. They were shot at a shorter distance from lava flows.
6. What can we infer from the last two paragraphs
A. The couple didn’t get prepared before setting out.
B. The couple had been married for 25 years before the accident.
C. The couple made a great fortune with what they shot.
D. The couple went ahead of the rest at the last minute.
7. Which of the following can best describe the couple

Feeling unhappy, depressed or lonely could speed up the ageing processes more than smoking or even certain diseases, researchers have suggested. While everyone has an age based on their date of birth — their “chronological age”, they also have what is known as a “biological age”, based on the ageing of the body’s functions, influenced by gene is, lifestyle and other factors. Studies have previously suggested the higher the biological age, the higher the risk of various diseases, and the risk of death.
Now researchers say they have created a digital model of ageing, revealing the importance of psychological health. “Your body and soul are connected — this is our main message,” said Fedor Galkin, a co-author of the study and lead scientist at the Hong Kong startup Deep Longevity.
“We demonstrate that psychological factors, such as feeling unhappy or being lonely, add up to 1.65 years to one’s biological age,” they write. While Galkin said the figure is an estimate, not least as the model assumes that different feelings such as hopelessness or fearfulness are independent of each other, the study highlights the importance of psychological state in how fast we age.
“Taking care of your psychological heath is the greatest contributor that you can have to slowing down your pace of ageing,” he said. The team also report that people who smoke are predicted to be 15 months older than their non-smoking peers, while being married reduces biological age by around seven months. People living in rural areas are predicted to be almost five months older than their urban peers.
“But,” he said, “it is unlikely that isolation and loneliness are truly worse risk factors for health than smoking because the study only looked at data collected at one point in time. The researchers did not follow up participants to show that those with psychological distress actually aged more rapidly,” he said. “It will be important in the future to test whether these predictions are fulfilled by repeating testing over a number of years.”
8. What does the underlined words “chronological age” in Paragraph 1 mean
A. Mental age. B. Age measured by time.
C. Biological age. D. Age of psychological development.
9. What idea does the author want to convey in Paragraph 3
A. Psychological factors add up to 1.65 years to one’s chronological age.
B. External factor can speedup people’s ageing process.
C. Psychological state is a crucial factor in people’s ageing process.
D. Physical health can slowdown you pace of ageing.
10. What is the author’s attitude to the research
A. In different. B. Favorable. C. Disapproving. D. Objective.
11. What is the main idea of the passage
A. Depression and loneliness may slowdown the ageing process.
B. Isolation and depression maybe worse risk factors foraging than smoking.
C. Smoking is harmful to our physical and mental health.
D. People with depression need others’ company and understanding.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. D 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。研究表明孤独抑郁比吸烟更容易让人衰老。
【8题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段“While everyone has an age based on their date of birth — their “chronological age”, they also have what is known as a “biological age”, based on the ageing of the body’s functions, influenced by gene is, lifestyle and other factors.(虽然每个人都有一个基于他们的出生日期的年龄——他们的chronological age，但他们也有一个所谓的“生物年龄”，这是基于受基因、生活方式和其他因素影响的身体功能的衰老)”可知，chronological age会受到遗传、生活方式和其他因素的影响，导致身体机能的老化。由此可知，chronological age指的是实足年龄。故选B项
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段““We demonstrate that psychological factors, such as feeling unhappy or being lonely, add up to 1.65 years to one’s biological age,” they write. While Galkin said the figure is an estimate, not least as the model assumes that different feelings such as hopelessness or fearfulness are independent of each other, the study highlights the importance of psychological state in how fast we age.(他们写道：“我们证明，不快乐或孤独等心理因素加起来会使一个人的生理年龄增加1.65岁。”虽然加尔金说这个数字只是一个估计，尤其是因为该模型假设绝望或恐惧等不同的感觉是相互独立的，但该研究强调了心理状态对我们衰老速度的重要性)”可知，心理状态在人类衰老过程中是一个至关重要的因素。故选C项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段 “But, he said, it is unlikely isolation and loneliness are truly worse risk factors for health than smoking, because the study only looked at data collected at one point in time.‘The researchers did not follow up participants to show that those with psychological distress actually aged more rapidly,’ he said. ‘It will be important in the future to test whether these predictions are fulfilled by repeating testing over a number of years.”(但是，他说，孤独和寂寞不太可能真的会比吸烟更有害身体健康，因为该研究只观察了在某个时间点收集的数据。他说：“研究人员并没有后续跟进调查参与实验的人员，看那些存在心理问题的人是否真的衰老得更快。”“未来几年，反复进行测试对于验证这些预测是否能够实现来说至关重要。”)”可知，作者只是在陈述了其它人的观点，并没有发表自己的观点。由此推知，作者对此项研究持有客观态度。故选D项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据全文以及第一段“Feeling unhappy, depressed or lonely could speed up the ageing processes more than smoking or even certain diseases, researchers have suggested.(研究人员表示，感到不快乐、沮丧或孤独，比吸烟甚至某些疾病导致衰老的过程更快)”可知，文章主要介绍了孤独和寂寞可能会比吸烟更有害身体健康。故选B项。

Most able-bodied people take their ability to perform simple daily tasks for granted — when they reach for a warm cup of coffee, they can feel its weight and temperature and adjust their grasp accordingly so that no liquid is spilled. People with full sensory and motor control of their arms and hands can feel that they’ve made contact with an object the instant they touch or grasp it, allowing them to start moving or lifting it with confidence.
But those tasks become much more difficult when a person operates an artificial arm, let alone a mind-controlled one.
In a paper published in Science, a team of bio engineers from the University of Pittsburgh describe how adding brain stimulation that generates tactile (触觉的) sensations makes it easier for the operator to use a brain-controlled robotic arm. In the experiment, combining vision with artificial tactile feedback cut the time spent grasping and moving objects in half, from 20.9 to 10.2 seconds.
Study participant Nathan Copeland, who was left with limited use of his arms after a car crash, is the first person in the world who was implanted with tiny electrode arrays (电极阵列) in his brain. Arrays allow him to not only control the robotic arm with his mind, but also to receive tactile feedback.
In a series of tests, where Copeland was asked to pick up and move various objects from a table to a raised platform, providing tactile feedback through electrical stimulation allowed him to complete tasks twice as fast compared to tests without stimulation.
“Even though the sensation isn’t natural, that never bothers me,” said Copeland.
“When even limited and imperfect sensation is restored, the person’s performance improved in a pretty significant way. We still have a long way to go in terms of making the sensations more realistic and bringing this technology to people’s homes, but the closer we can get to recreating the normal inputs to the brain, the better off we will be,” said Robert Gaunt, co-senior author of the study.
12. What does the author intend to tell us in Paragraph 1
A. The value of being healthy. B. The importance of the sense of touch.
C. The simplicity of daily tasks. D. The advantages of able-bodied people.
13. What’s the purpose of implanting the arrays into Copeland’s brain
A. To allow him to feel the objects. B. To improve his test performance.
C To connect his senses of sight and touch. D. To stimulate him to complete more tasks.
14. What can we learn from Robert Caunt’s words about the study
A. It’s unreliable. B. It’s promising.
C. It’s perfect. D. It’s theoretical.
15. What’s the best title for the text
A. Application of Biotechnology in Medical Care.
B. Restoration of Lost Sensations Proves Possible.
C. Development of Mind-Controlled Robotic Arms.
D. Sense of Touch Improves Control of a Robotic Arm.
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. B 15. D
【解析】

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段、使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。
Grandma was not a writer, but she did write books. She not only wrote them but also illustrated them with beautiful pictures. The handwritten pages were carefully bound together with thread. The books were not intended to be published. They were specially written for her grandchildren. We refer to the books as the rabbit series. For me, it’s Rabbit Abbey and for my younger brother and younger sister Rabbit Tony and Rabbit Candy.
My first rabbit book was Rabbit Abbey Went to Kindergarten, which Grandma read to me while pointing to the illustrations when I was three years old. I was too young to remember everything clearly so I reread it when I was older to remember the content of the book and understand how it helped to get me prepared to r kindergarten and adapt to it. Mom said I was the only kid who didn’t try on the first day of kindergarten. I seemed to have enjoyed myself and I even tried to comfort other kids.
As I grew older, I read Grandma’s Rabbit Abbey Went to Primary School, Rabbit Abbey Went to Junior High and Rabbit Abbey Went to Senior High, all of which looked like children’s books but I always expected a Rabbit Abbey book before I stepped into a new stage of my life. It was about preparation to adapt but it became more of a sense of ceremony as I grew up.
At Senior High, I had great academic performance and was determined to go to college after graduation. I guessed Grandma in us I have started her Rabbit Abbey Went to College and wondered that it would be like. Would Rabbit Abbey make great friends Would he fall in love Or...

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1：
What I didn’t expect was that Grandma passed away one day due to a sudden heart attack. My family were overwhelmed by sadness. Whenever I missed her, I would take out one of my Rabbit Abbey books and read it which brought back memories of her and made me feel as if she were still with me. The more times I read the books the more love and care I could feel. My heart sank when I realized no more Rabbit Abbey books were coming out. One year later, when I got an offer from my dream university, New York university, I knew this new stage would have to start somewhat differently.
Paragraph 2：
However, when I showed the offer to Mom, she told me she had something from my grandma for me. She went to her room and came back with a book, a thread-bound book. I took it over with trembling hands. The name of the book came to my eyes: Rabbit Abbey Went to College, which brought tears to my eyes. Seating me in the living room sofa, Mom patted me on the shoulder and told me she finished the book Grandma started and she would carry on the family tradition. That night I dreamt about Grandma discussing the name of the next Rabbit Abbey book with Mom.
