A
Save your annual leave and explore beautiful towns and places with day trips less than two hours from London, offering a change of scenery, delicious food and a good walk. You can head into work the next day feeling refreshed.
Margate
The old will remember Margate as a somewhat mocked holiday location, a vintage (复古的) style amusement park with rides. However, the young are now moving here in droves as they take advantage of the excellent transport links and the working opportunities. Another draw is the Turner Contemporary art gallery opened in 2011 to celebrate artist JMW Turner, and his connection to Margate. The gallery is free to enter and has spectacular views.
The New Forest
At over 200 square miles, the New Forest is a protected national park dotted with small towns. There are many trails to walk or cycle, which are worth planning in advance. Thenewforest.co.uk is a useful resource as it has walking and cycle routes split into family, dog-friendly and those that take in pubs or villages.
Brighton
There is something for everyone in Brighton: traditional fish and chips, vegan and restaurants, the Royal Pavil ion and shops — both vintage and contemporary — selling clothing, jewellery, chocolate and records. Any of the small coffee shops would be a great first stop before heading to the very pink Books for Amnesty shop.
The Cotswolds
With the instantly recognisable pale-yellow stone cottages and seemingly unending supply of pubs, the towns and villages that comprise the Cotswolds are well worth a visit. Spend the morning walking around Chipping Norton, a market town with shops and theatres. Be sure to pop-in to Jaffé and Neale, the bookshop and cafe that has been open since 2006.
1. What attracts the younger generation in Margate
A. Its amusement park. B. The protected national park.
C. The Turner Contemporary art gallery. D. Its convenient transportation and working chances.
2. Where should you go if you want to walk with your dog
A. Brighton. B. The New Forest. C. Margate. D. The Cotswolds.
3 What do Brighton and The Cotswolds have in common
A. Life style. B. Traditional food. C. Coffee houses. D. Ancient cottages.
【答案】1. D 2. B 3. C
【解析】

B
In a small tea shop located in Bisalpur, Uttar Pradesh, one can spot unique furniture like stools (凳子) and tables made of bricks and recycled plastic. Other than customers, tourists who come to visit the nearby Jawai Dam often stop by here to hand plastic waste over to the shopkeeper. Run by Kana Ram Mewada, the shop not only sells tea and snacks, but also leads a campaign to reduce the use of single-use plastic in the village.
According to a report of the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) in 2019—2020, 3. 5million metric tons (公吨) of plastic waste is annually generated in India, and will remain in landfills (垃圾填埋场) for the upcoming hundreds of years.
Kana was deeply disturbed after reading that report on the Internet and began thinking about ways to raise the villagers’ awareness and make his village free of plastic.
He started a campaign by collecting plastic waste from his own shop and roadside. Whenever customers came, he explained the campaign. In order to attract more people, he started giving something in return for the waste they brought. Sometimes, he purchased a few things made of recycled waste to show the villagers and told them they were created from their plastic waste contribution. He also made decorative items out of the waste and placed them around the shop.
As a result, people from the village became curious about his campaign. Even tourists began participating in the exchange. And today, the forest, rivers and public spaces that were once filled with plastic waste are cleaner than before.
He hopes that he can also help the neighboring villages recycle plastic waste and make the whole area plastic-free. “When an ordinary person like me decided to start a cause, it was inspiring that a whole village stood by me and supported me. We can all become torchbearers (启蒙者) for a better tomorrow. What we have to do is take a step forward,” he said.
4. What led Kana to start the campaign
A. An online report. B. Tourists’ behavior.
C. Customers’ advice. D. His visit to landfills.
5. Why did Kana place plastic decorations around his shop
A. To get more people to join his campaign. B. To teach shoppers how to make them.
C. To make his shop much more beautiful. D. To advertise the goods in his shop.
6. Which of the following can best describe Kana
A. Considerate and proud. B. Ambitious and generous.
C. Responsible and creative. D. Determined and humorous.
7. What is the text mainly about
A. A shopkeeper’s path to success. B. A historic tourist spot in Bisalpur.
C. A unique way of turning waste into art. D. A shopkeeper’s campaign for plastic recycling.
【答案】4. A 5. A 6. C 7. D

Despite the fact that burgers, chips and fries are known as some of the most unhealthy food we can eat, they are still the most popular food.
There are a few reasons behind that. First, junk food is generally easy to get and take with you. This convenience is a major draw for many, especially people who are always on the go. Restaurants like McDonald’s and KFC can be found outside many schools and workplaces, providing meals in under a minute.
Secondly, junk food contains a lot of added sugar and fat. This kind of food causes our brain to send out certain chemicals, which produce the feeling of relaxation, pleasure and enjoyment. That’s why such food is called “comfort food”.
Thirdly, our ancestors didn’t have such easy access to the huge variety of food we come across every day. They didn’t have the convenience of having food as easily as we do. So they made it a habit to eat as much as they could to survive and protect themselves from the hard natural conditions. The cave mentality (心理) is passed down to us, which makes us believe that we can never have enough food that is high in sugar and fat, no matter how crazily we eat.
Besides, when we are too worried and tired to relax, our body produces cortisol (皮质醇), which increases the sugar content in the blood, so it can be used as energy to aid in fat and carbohydrate metabolism (碳水化合物代谢). Additionally, it is also found to increase hunger. That’s the reason why when we’re thinking about unpleasant things, we prefer foods that are high in sugar, fat and carbohydrate, that is to say unhealthy food.
8. Why are McDonald’s and KFC mentioned
A. To show they take up the best site. B. To show they provide good service.
C. To show they are famous for their taste. D. To show they make junk food easy to get.
9. What does the author want to tell us in Paragraph 4
A. We need all kinds of food. B. Our ancestors lived a hard life.
C. We are born to eat more than we need. D. It is difficult for us to change our habits.
10 What is a cause of the increase of sugar content in our body
A. Too much stress. B. A wish for food.
C. A fast metabolic rate. D. Not having enough energy.
11. What is the text mainly about
A. How harmful junk food is. B. Why fast food is so delicious.
C. How we can develop a healthy lifestyle. D. Why we love unhealthy food so much.
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. A 11. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要分析了垃圾食品不健康但是仍然很受欢迎的几个原因。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“First, junk food is generally easy to get and take with you. This convenience is a major draw for many, especially people who are always on the go. Restaurants like McDonald’s and KFC can be found outside many schools and workplaces, providing meals in under a minute. (首先,垃圾食品通常很容易买到并随身携带。这种便利是吸引许多人主要原因,尤其是那些总是在路上的人。像麦当劳和肯德基这样的餐厅可以在许多学校和工作场所外找到,在一分钟内提供饭菜。)”可推知,提到麦当劳和肯德基是为了表明他们使垃圾食品很容易得到。故选D。
【9题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段“Thirdly, our ancestors didn’t have such easy access to the huge variety of food we come across every day. They didn’t have the convenience of having food as easily as we do. So they made it a habit to eat as much as they could to survive and protect themselves from the hard natural conditions. The cave mentality (心理) is passed down to us, which makes us believe that we can never have enough food that is high in sugar and fat, no matter how crazily we eat. (第三,我们的祖先没有这么容易获得我们每天遇到的各种各样的食物。他们不像我们这样容易得到食物。因此,他们养成了尽可能多吃的习惯,以生存并保护自己免受恶劣的自然条件的影响。洞穴心态传给了我们,这让我们相信,无论我们吃得多么疯狂,我们都永远不会有足够的高糖和高脂肪的食物。)”可知,第四段告诉我们,我们生来就吃得比我们需要的多。故选C。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Besides, when we are too worried and tired to relax, our body produces cortisol (皮质醇), which increases the sugar content in the blood, so it can be used as energy to aid in fat and carbohydrate metabolism (碳水化合物代谢). Additionally, it is also found to increase hunger. (此外,当我们过于担心和疲劳而无法放松时,我们的身体会产生皮质醇,这会增加血液中的糖含量,因此它可以作为能量来帮助脂肪和碳水化合物的代谢。此外,它还会增加饥饿感。)”可知,压力太大导致我们体内的糖含量增加。故选A。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Despite the fact that burgers, chips and fries are known as some of the most unhealthy food we can eat, they are still the most popular food. (尽管汉堡、薯条和薯条被认为是最不健康的食物,但它们仍然是最受欢迎的食物。)”结合文章主要分析了垃圾食品不健康但是仍然很受欢迎的几个原因。可知,这篇文章的主要内容是为什么我们这么喜欢不健康的食物。故选D。
D
One of the things that make humans mammals (哺乳动物) is that we’re warm-blooded — our bodies have high metabolism (新陈代谢) that maintains our internal temperature independent of the surroundings, unlike cold-blooded animals that have to lie in the sun for heat. Among modern animals, only mammals and birds are warm-blooded and our ability to keep ourselves warm has enabled us to survive in icy weather and make long migrations. But it’s been a mystery exactly when mammals evolved their high metabolism. In a new study, scientists point to an unlikely source for determining when ancient mammal ancestors became warm-blooded.
The ears of all living creatures that have backbones contain tiny canals (管道) filled with fluid that helps us balance. The runniness (流动性) of that fluid changes based on temperature, and our inner ears have evolved different sizes so that the fluid can flow correctly. Cold-blooded animals’ ear fluid is cooler and thicker, so it needs wider spaces to travel through, while warm-blooded animals have runnier ear fluid, so our canals are different.
“Canals were generally used to predict the movement of fossil organisms. However, by carefully looking at their biomechanics (生物力学) , we figured that we could also use them to infer body temperature,” says Romain David, one of the study’s lead authors. “This is because, like honey, the fluid inside canals gets runnier when temperature increases, impacting function. Therefore, during the transition to endothermy (温血性) , physical adaptation was required to keep best performances, and we could track ear canals in mammal ancestors. ”
To track these evolutionary changes, the researchers compared the sizes of the inner ear canals of over 300 animals, including 243 living species and 64 extinct ones. They found that mammal ancestors didn’t develop the kinds of inner ear structures ideal for warm-blooded animals until 233 million years ago.
The origin of mammalian endothermy is one of the great mysteries to be solved. Many different approaches have been used to try to predict when it first evolved, but they have often given unclear or conflicting results. This method shows real promise because it has been confirmed using a very large number of modern species.
12. Which of the following might be the key to mammals’ long migrations
A. The large body size. B. The rich food resources.
C. The warm-bloodedness. D. The adaptability to surroundings.
13. What can we learn about warm-blooded animals compared to cold-blooded ones
A. They have much bigger backbones.
B. Their inner ear canals are relatively narrow.
C. They are much more sensitive to outside sounds.
D. Their ear fluid seldom changes with temperature.
14. What do Romain David’s words in paragraph 3 mainly tell us
A. Theories on the evolution of mammal ancestors.
B. The reason for studying the inner ears of mammals.
C. The importance of physical adaptation to mammals.
D. Possible ways to predict the movement of fossil organisms.
15. What’s the author’s attitude to the new method of tracking evolutionary changes
A. Appreciative. B. Doubtful. C. Negative. D. Unconcerned.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. B 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文,研究发现,通过研究动物的内耳可以研究哺乳动物为什么是恒温动物。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Among modern animals, only mammals and birds are warm-blooded and our ability to keep ourselves warm has enabled us to survive in icy weather and make long migrations. (在现代动物中,只有哺乳动物和鸟类是恒温动物,我们保持体温的能力使我们能够在寒冷的天气中生存,并进行长途迁徙。)”可知,哺乳动物能进行长途迁徙的关键是因为是恒温动物。故选C。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The ears of all living creatures that have backbones contain tiny canals filled with fluid that helps us balance. The runniness of that fluid changes based on temperature, and our inner ears have evolved different sizes so that the fluid can flow correctly. Cold-blooded animals’ ear fluid is cooler and thicker, so it needs wider spaces to travel through, while warm-blooded animals have runnier ear fluid, so our canals are different. (所有有脊椎的生物的耳朵里都有微小的管道,里面充满液体,帮助我们保持平衡。这种液体的流动性会随着温度的变化而变化,我们的内耳也进化出了不同的大小,这样液体才能正常流动。冷血动物的耳液更冷、更厚,所以需要更宽的空间来通过,而恒温动物的耳液更流动,所以我们的耳道是不同的。)”可知,比起冷血动物,恒温动物的内耳道相对狭窄。故选B。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段““Canals were generally used to predict the movement of fossil organisms. However, by carefully looking at their biomechanics, we figured that we could also use them to infer body temperature,” says Romain David, one of the study’s lead authors. “This is because, like honey, the fluid inside canals gets runnier when temperature increases, impacting function. Therefore, during the transition to endothermy, physical adaptation was required to keep best performances, and we could track ear canals in mammal ancestors. ” (“运河通常被用来预测化石生物的运动。然而,通过仔细观察它们的生物力学,我们发现我们也可以用它们来推断体温,”该研究的主要作者之一罗曼·大卫说。“这是因为,像蜂蜜一样,当温度升高时,管道内的液体会变得更流动,影响功能。因此,在向恒温动物过渡的过程中,需要身体适应以保持最佳表现,我们可以追踪哺乳动物祖先的耳道。”)”可知,本段讲述了研究哺乳动物耳道的理由。故选B。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“This method shows real promise because it has been confirmed using a very large number of modern species. (这种方法显示出真正的希望,因为它已经被大量的现代物种所证实。)”可推知,作者对追踪进化变化的新方法持赞赏态度。故选A。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了如何不过度情绪化的有效方式。
【16题详解】
根据前文“Being overly emotional may mean reacting to feelings like anger, sadness and fear quickly instead of letting all of your intelligence weigh in. Chances are, if you feel overly emotional you are relating to your emotions in a way that isn't always constructive.(过度情绪化可能意味着对愤怒、悲伤和恐惧等情绪的反应很快,而不是让你所有的智力都发挥作用。很有可能,如果你感觉过于情绪化,那么你处理情绪的方式并不总是建设性的)”及下文小标题讲述如何不过度情绪化的策略可知,C项“然而,学会调节情绪是很重要的。”符合语境,承上启下,与前文是转折关系,引出下文内容。故选C。
【17题详解】
根据前文“Identify emotions. It's important to know what you feel so you can adequately address each emotion appropriately.(识别情绪。了解自己的感受是很重要的,这样你才能适当地处理每一种情绪)”可知,要识别自己的情绪,了解自己的感受以便于适当的处理情绪。由此可知,E项“当你注意到一种情绪时,开始反思你的身体是如何感受的。”符合语境。故选E。
【18题详解】
空处为段落标题,根据后文“They can help calm you down when you're experiencing overwhelming emotions. If you're feeling overwhelmed by emotional intensity, pause to focus on your breathing. Breathing techniques can help you manage your emotions more effectively and help you handle intense emotions better. (当你情绪失控时,它们可以帮助你平静下来。如果你被强烈的情绪压得喘不过气来,停下来专注于你的呼吸。呼吸技巧可以帮助你更有效地管理你的情绪,帮助你更好地处理强烈的情绪)”可知,本段建议通过呼吸调整情绪。由此可知,B项“练习呼吸技巧。”符合语境,承上启下。故选B。
【19题详解】
根据前文“Monitor your expectations. Sometimes, the way you feel may be influenced by how you expect to feel.(监控你的期望。有时候,你的感受可能会受到你期望的感受的影响)”可知,情绪感受会受到期待的影响,因此要监控自己的期待,结合下文“If you notice yourself placing expectations on how you “should” feel, hold off on making that judgment until you've completed the situation. Or, you may consider which situations you want to enter into beforehand.(如果你注意到自己对自己“应该”的感觉抱有期望,那么在你完成这个情况之前,先不要做出这样的判断。或者,你可以事先考虑你想要进入哪些情况)”可知,我们要监控自己的期待的方式。由此可知,G项“例如,如果你期望看一部电影会让你感到悲伤,你最终可能会感到悲伤。”符合语境,承上启下。故选G。
【20题详解】
根据前文“Adjust your routines to reduce stress. Think about what events trigger your strong emotions, and try to either avoid them or control your response. For instance, if you tend to get anxious because you often run late for work, adjust your morning routine so you are not rushing.( 调整你的日常生活以减少压力。想想是什么事件触发了你强烈的情绪,然后试着避免它们或者控制你的反应。例如,如果你经常因为上班迟到而感到焦虑,那就调整一下你的早晨习惯,这样你就不会赶时间了)”可知,通过调整日常生活减少情绪化,并举例说明。由此可知,F项“如果有一群人会给你带来很多不愉快的情绪,那就减少和他们在一起的时间。”符合语境,与前文都是举例说明如何调整日常生活减少情绪化。故选F。

Li Hua
【答案】Dear Eric,
Nowadays, more and more people become addicted to short videos. Last Friday our class had a debate on the topic. Here’s what I think about the phenomenon.
First of all, spending too much time on short videos does harm to our body and mind as some of the videos are fake, others are not educational, also causing physical diseases such as near-sightedness and cervical pain without noticing. Besides, it takes much time to browse screens that we could have otherwise taken advantage of to read, study or exercise.
So we should try to avoid spending too much time on short videos.
Yours,
Li Hua

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。
With no air conditioners and no trees providing shade, the classrooms that faced south at my children’s middle school got too hot during the warmer months of the school year. I knew from my days volunteering in the school that students and staff got overheated and that it was difficult for them to concentrate.
As a long-time master gardener, I knew trees could shade those classroom windows and reduce the temperatures inside to relatively comfortable levels. If benches and trees were added, the front yard would be transformed into a beautiful outdoor classroom, one that would encourage teachers to bring their students outside to learn. And I imagined how wonderful it would be for our district’s kids, many of whom live in apartment buildings without yards or green space, to experience the happiness of sitting on a bench under a leafy green tree during their school day.
Then, I met with the school’s Parent-Teacher Association and told my idea of changing the school’s front yard. And I expressed my willingness to organize the project. The group liked the idea but thought it was too difficult. However, several days later, the principal told me, “I had further discussions with my staff. We all think you are very kind. We want to work with you to transform our school’s front yard.”
Later, I found a professional landscape designer who promised to design our front yard free of charge. After that, I found a local company that promised to deliver topsoil (表土) at a deeply discounted price when we were ready to transform our front yard. Then I contacted a charity which promised to provide us with various shade trees for free that would grow well in our area. And it would send a professional crew to help us plant the trees.
Then, we named our future front yard “The Habitat for Living & Learning”. At this point, we spoke with everyone we knew about the Habitat for Living & Learning. The hard work of spreading topsoil, digging and planting was scheduled to begin within weeks.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;2. 请按如下格式作答。
Para. 1: So we posted the tasks in the school’s front hall where everyone could see them.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Para. 2: Soon, everyone—students, staff and volunteers—began working to spread the topsoil.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
So we posted the tasks in the school’s front hall where everyone could see them. Students, staff, and volunteers all signed up to help with various aspects of the project. It was heartwarming to see so many people coming together for a common goal. Students researched how to do gardening work, and staff worked on incorporating the outdoor classroom concept into their lesson plans. Volunteers donated tools, seeds, and other necessary materials. The energy and enthusiasm were contagious, driving us all forward with excitement and determination.
Soon, everyone—students, staff and volunteers—began working to spread the topsoil. It was hard work, but seeing the barren yard gradually being covered with nutrient-rich soil filled us with a sense of accomplishment. Students eagerly helped professionals plant the young trees. Staff members and volunteers set up benches and outdoor learning stations, turning the once-empty space into a welcoming environment. The landscape designer’s plan started to come to life before our eyes. The sense of pride and togetherness that filled the air was palpable, as we worked side by side to create a vibrant outdoor oasis for the school community.

A
Save your annual leave and explore beautiful towns and places with day trips less than two hours from London, offering a change of scenery, delicious food and a good walk. You can head into work the next day feeling refreshed.
Margate
The old will remember Margate as a somewhat mocked holiday location, a vintage (复古的) style amusement park with rides. However, the young are now moving here in droves as they take advantage of the excellent transport links and the working opportunities. Another draw is the Turner Contemporary art gallery opened in 2011 to celebrate artist JMW Turner, and his connection to Margate. The gallery is free to enter and has spectacular views.
The New Forest
At over 200 square miles, the New Forest is a protected national park dotted with small towns. There are many trails to walk or cycle, which are worth planning in advance. Thenewforest.co.uk is a useful resource as it has walking and cycle routes split into family, dog-friendly and those that take in pubs or villages.
Brighton
There is something for everyone in Brighton: traditional fish and chips, vegan and restaurants, the Royal Pavil ion and shops — both vintage and contemporary — selling clothing, jewellery, chocolate and records. Any of the small coffee shops would be a great first stop before heading to the very pink Books for Amnesty shop.
The Cotswolds
With the instantly recognisable pale-yellow stone cottages and seemingly unending supply of pubs, the towns and villages that comprise the Cotswolds are well worth a visit. Spend the morning walking around Chipping Norton, a market town with shops and theatres. Be sure to pop-in to Jaffé and Neale, the bookshop and cafe that has been open since 2006.
1. What attracts the younger generation in Margate
A. Its amusement park. B. The protected national park.
C. The Turner Contemporary art gallery. D. Its convenient transportation and working chances.
2. Where should you go if you want to walk with your dog
A. Brighton. B. The New Forest. C. Margate. D. The Cotswolds.
3. What do Brighton and The Cotswolds have in common
A Life style. B. Traditional food. C. Coffee houses. D. Ancient cottages.
B
In a small tea shop located in Bisalpur, Uttar Pradesh, one can spot unique furniture like stools (凳子) and tables made of bricks and recycled plastic. Other than customers, tourists who come to visit the nearby Jawai Dam often stop by here to hand plastic waste over to the shopkeeper. Run by Kana Ram Mewada, the shop not only sells tea and snacks, but also leads a campaign to reduce the use of single-use plastic in the village.
According to a report of the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) in 2019—2020, 3. 5million metric tons (公吨) of plastic waste is annually generated in India, and will remain in landfills (垃圾填埋场) for the upcoming hundreds of years.
Kana was deeply disturbed after reading that report on the Internet and began thinking about ways to raise the villagers’ awareness and make his village free of plastic.
He started a campaign by collecting plastic waste from his own shop and roadside. Whenever customers came, he explained the campaign. In order to attract more people, he started giving something in return for the waste they brought. Sometimes, he purchased a few things made of recycled waste to show the villagers and told them they were created from their plastic waste contribution. He also made decorative items out of the waste and placed them around the shop.
As a result, people from the village became curious about his campaign. Even tourists began participating in the exchange. And today, the forest, rivers and public spaces that were once filled with plastic waste are cleaner than before.
He hopes that he can also help the neighboring villages recycle plastic waste and make the whole area plastic-free. “When an ordinary person like me decided to start a cause, it was inspiring that a whole village stood by me and supported me. We can all become torchbearers (启蒙者) for a better tomorrow. What we have to do is take a step forward,” he said.
4. What led Kana to start the campaign
A. An online report. B. Tourists’ behavior.
C. Customers’ advice. D. His visit to landfills.
5. Why did Kana place plastic decorations around his shop
A. To get more people to join his campaign. B. To teach shoppers how to make them.
C. To make his shop much more beautiful. D. To advertise the goods in his shop.
6. Which of the following can best describe Kana
A. Considerate and proud. B. Ambitious and generous.
C. Responsible and creative. D. Determined and humorous.
7. What is the text mainly about
A. A shopkeeper’s path to success. B. A historic tourist spot in Bisalpur.
C. A unique way of turning waste into art. D. A shopkeeper’s campaign for plastic recycling.
C
Despite the fact that burgers, chips and fries are known as some of the most unhealthy food we can eat, they are still the most popular food.
There are a few reasons behind that. First, junk food is generally easy to get and take with you. This convenience is a major draw for many, especially people who are always on the go. Restaurants like McDonald’s and KFC can be found outside many schools and workplaces, providing meals in under a minute.
Secondly, junk food contains a lot of added sugar and fat. This kind of food causes our brain to send out certain chemicals, which produce the feeling of relaxation, pleasure and enjoyment. That’s why such food is called “comfort food”.
Thirdly, our ancestors didn’t have such easy access to the huge variety of food we come across every day. They didn’t have the convenience of having food as easily as we do. So they made it a habit to eat as much as they could to survive and protect themselves from the hard natural conditions. The cave mentality (心理) is passed down to us, which makes us believe that we can never have enough food that is high in sugar and fat, no matter how crazily we eat.
Besides, when we are too worried and tired to relax, our body produces cortisol (皮质醇), which increases the sugar content in the blood, so it can be used as energy to aid in fat and carbohydrate metabolism (碳水化合物代谢). Additionally, it is also found to increase hunger. That’s the reason why when we’re thinking about unpleasant things, we prefer foods that are high in sugar, fat and carbohydrate, that is to say unhealthy food.
8. Why are McDonald’s and KFC mentioned
A. To show they take up the best site. B. To show they provide good service.
C. To show they are famous for their taste. D. To show they make junk food easy to get.
9. What does the author want to tell us in Paragraph 4
A. We need all kinds of food. B. Our ancestors lived a hard life.
C. We are born to eat more than we need. D. It is difficult for us to change our habits.
10. What is a cause of the increase of sugar content in our body
A. Too much stress. B. A wish for food.
C. A fast metabolic rate. D. Not having enough energy.
11. What is the text mainly about
A. How harmful junk food is. B. Why fast food is so delicious.
C. How we can develop a healthy lifestyle. D. Why we love unhealthy food so much.
D
One of the things that make humans mammals (哺乳动物) is that we’re warm-blooded — our bodies have high metabolism (新陈代谢) that maintains our internal temperature independent of the surroundings, unlike cold-blooded animals that have to lie in the sun for heat. Among modern animals, only mammals and birds are warm-blooded and our ability to keep ourselves warm has enabled us to survive in icy weather and make long migrations. But it’s been a mystery exactly when mammals evolved their high metabolism. In a new study, scientists point to an unlikely source for determining when ancient mammal ancestors became warm-blooded.
The ears of all living creatures that have backbones contain tiny canals (管道) filled with fluid that helps us balance. The runniness (流动性) of that fluid changes based on temperature, and our inner ears have evolved different sizes so that the fluid can flow correctly. Cold-blooded animals’ ear fluid is cooler and thicker, so it needs wider spaces to travel through, while warm-blooded animals have runnier ear fluid, so our canals are different.
“Canals were generally used to predict the movement of fossil organisms. However, by carefully looking at their biomechanics (生物力学) , we figured that we could also use them to infer body temperature,” says Romain David, one of the study’s lead authors. “This is because, like honey, the fluid inside canals gets runnier when temperature increases, impacting function. Therefore, during the transition to endothermy (温血性) , physical adaptation was required to keep best performances, and we could track ear canals in mammal ancestors. ”
To track these evolutionary changes, the researchers compared the sizes of the inner ear canals of over 300 animals, including 243 living species and 64 extinct ones. They found that mammal ancestors didn’t develop the kinds of inner ear structures ideal for warm-blooded animals until 233 million years ago.
The origin of mammalian endothermy is one of the great mysteries to be solved. Many different approaches have been used to try to predict when it first evolved, but they have often given unclear or conflicting results. This method shows real promise because it has been confirmed using a very large number of modern species.
12 Which of the following might be the key to mammals’ long migrations
A. The large body size. B. The rich food resources.
C. The warm-bloodedness. D. The adaptability to surroundings.
13. What can we learn about warm-blooded animals compared to cold-blooded ones
A. They have much bigger backbones.
B. Their inner ear canals are relatively narrow.
C. They are much more sensitive to outside sounds.
D. Their ear fluid seldom changes with temperature.
14. What do Romain David’s words in paragraph 3 mainly tell us
A. Theories on the evolution of mammal ancestors.
B. The reason for studying the inner ears of mammals.
C. The importance of physical adaptation to mammals.
D. Possible ways to predict the movement of fossil organisms.
15. What’s the author’s attitude to the new method of tracking evolutionary changes
A. Appreciative. B. Doubtful. C. Negative. D. Unconcerned.

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。
With no air conditioners and no trees providing shade, the classrooms that faced south at my children’s middle school got too hot during the warmer months of the school year. I knew from my days volunteering in the school that students and staff got overheated and that it was difficult for them to concentrate.
As a long-time master gardener, I knew trees could shade those classroom windows and reduce the temperatures inside to relatively comfortable levels. If benches and trees were added, the front yard would be transformed into a beautiful outdoor classroom, one that would encourage teachers to bring their students outside to learn. And I imagined how wonderful it would be for our district’s kids, many of whom live in apartment buildings without yards or green space, to experience the happiness of sitting on a bench under a leafy green tree during their school day.
Then, I met with the school’s Parent-Teacher Association and told my idea of changing the school’s front yard. And I expressed my willingness to organize the project. The group liked the idea but thought it was too difficult. However, several days later, the principal told me, “I had further discussions with my staff. We all think you are very kind. We want to work with you to transform our school’s front yard.”
Later, I found a professional landscape designer who promised to design our front yard free of charge. After that, I found a local company that promised to deliver topsoil (表土) at a deeply discounted price when we were ready to transform our front yard. Then I contacted a charity which promised to provide us with various shade trees for free that would grow well in our area. And it would send a professional crew to help us plant the trees.
Then, we named our future front yard “The Habitat for Living & Learning”. At this point, we spoke with everyone we knew about the Habitat for Living & Learning. The hard work of spreading topsoil, digging and planting was scheduled to begin within weeks.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;2. 请按如下格式作答。
Para. 1: So we posted the tasks in the school’s front hall where everyone could see them.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Para. 2: Soon, everyone—students, staff and volunteers—began working to spread the topsoil.
