Journey to Mecca: In the Footsteps of Ibn Battuta
Ibn Battuta is considered one of the world’s greatest travellers. During the 14th century, he travelled about 75, 000 miles in search of knowledge and for the love of travel. To share the learning
and research so highly valued by Islamic (伊斯兰教的) culture, the ruler of Morocco, Abu Inan Faris, wanted Ibn Battuta’s worldwide travels recorded and published when he returned home to Morocco after almost 30 years. Ibn Juzayy, a Moroccan Court Secretary, was appointed to write down Ibn Battuta’s experiences. His travel journal, The Rihla, documents this extraordinary achievement. It gives us a first-hand account of life in the 14th-century Muslim world. The original book, handwritten in Arabic, can be viewed today at the National Library in Paris.
The early 14th century was a favorable age for a Muslim traveller. It was nearing the end of the Golden Age of Islam, one of the great explosions of scientific and cultural achievements in world history. Caravans and sea lanes created transportation and communication networks that spread across continents, including Europe, Africa and Asia. Towns and cities were regularly visited by merchants, traders, doctors, artists, craftsmen, scholars and pilgrims (朝圣者) carrying goods and ideas. All of these promoted the exchange of goods and ideas on a scale not seen previously in world history. As an educated man with professional legal skills, Ibn Battuta enjoyed kindness, companionship and offers of employment throughout the Islamic world.
Journey to Mecca describes the 5, 000-mile journey Ibn Battuta made in 1325 and 1326 from his hometown Tangier, Morocco, to reach Mecca, in what is now the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, to make the pilgrimage. During this dangerous and awesome 18-month pilgrimage, he met many hindrances as he was attacked by robbers, troubled by thirst, and forced to go back to his route due to war along the Red Sea. Joining the legendary Damascus Caravan with thousands of pilgrims leaving for Mecca, he completed the final section of what would be his first of six journeys to Mecca.
The goal of the film, Journey to Mecca, was to tell the remarkable story of Ibn Battuta and to promote a better understanding of Islam in the West, said the producers.
4. We can conclude that Abu Inan Faris probably thought Ibn Battuta’s travel experiences ________.
A. precious B. questionable
C. mysterious D. ridiculous
5. What can we learn about Ibn Battuta from the text?
A. He wrote the travel journal, The Rihla, by himself.
B. He travelled all the way with the legendary Damascus Caravan during his first journey.
C. He was a very successful businessman.
D. He had to overcome varieties of difficulties while traveling.
6. The underlined word “hindrances” in Paragraph 3 can best be replaced by “________”.
A. tricks B. friends
C. barriers D. opportunities
7. In which section of a newspaper can we possibly find this passage?
A. History B. Travel
C. Economy D. Entertainment

How much weight a baby gains during its first month could determine its IQ, as a new research suggests. The study found that children who gain more weight, and whose heads grow quickly during the first month of life, tend to have a higher IQ when they start school.
Researchers at the University of Adelaide, in Australia^ studied 13,800 children who were born at full-term. They found that those who put on 40% of their birth weight in the first four weeks had an IQ 1.5 points higher than those who only put on 15% of their birth weight. Those who experienced the biggest growth in head circumference (头围) also had the highest IQs by the age of six.
“Head circumference is an indicator of brain volume, so a greater increase in head circumference in a newly-born baby suggests more rapid brain growth,” says the led author of the study, Dr. Lisa Smithers.
She added, “Overall, newly-born children who grew faster in the first four weeks had higher IQ scores later in life. Those children who gained the most weight scored especially high on verbal (言语) IQ at age 6. This may be because the neural (神经的) structures for verbal IQ develop earlier in life, which means the rapid weight gain during the first month could be having a direct cognitive benefit for the children.”
Previous studies have shown the association between early postnatal (产后的) diet and IQ, but this is the first study of its kind to focus on the IQ benefits of rapid weight gain in the first month of life. Dr. Smithers says the study further highlights the need for successful feeding of newly-born babies. “We know that many mothers have difficulty establishing breastfeeding in the first week of their
babies’ life,” Dr. Smithers said.
“The findings of our study suggest that if babies are having feeding problems, there needs to be early intervention (干预) in the management of that feeding.”
8. The study mainly shows that ________.
A. head circumference is certainly connected to IQ.
B. babies’ heads grow quickly during the first month.
C. full-term babies tend to be cleverer than premature babies. (早产儿)
D. the more weight newly-born babies gain, the higher IQ they are likely to have.
9. How did the researchers get their conclusion from the study?
A. By asking questions.
B. By making comparison.
C. By having a discussion.
D. By referring to documents.
10. According to Dr. Lisa Smithers, we can learn that ________.
A. a kid’s verbal IQ scores reach its highest at age six.
B. this study helps parents find feeding problems.
C. quick weight gain benefits newly born babies on verbal IQ.
D. this study reminds parents of the need for breastfeeding.
11. The study differs from previous ones that _________.
A. it associates early postnatal diet with IQ.
B. it pays attention to the IQ of newly-born babies.
C. it emphasizes the significance of successful feeding.
D. it first focuses on the relation between IQ and weight gain in the first month of life.
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. C 11. D

four weeks had an IQ 1.5 points higher than those who only put on 15% of their birth weight.得知,研究人员通过对比研究结果得出结论。故选B。
10. 细节理解题。根据第四段She added, “Overall, newly-born children who grew faster in the first four weeks had higher IQ scores later in life. Those children who gained the most weight scored especially high on verbal (言语) IQ at age 6.得知,Lisa Smithers博士认为新生儿体重增加越多,对孩子语言发展越有利。故选C。

That people often experience trouble sleeping in a different bed in unfamiliar surroundings is a phenomenon known as the 4Tirst-nighf, effect. If a person stays in the same room the following night they tend to sleep more soundly. Yuka Sasaki and her colleagues at Brown University set out to investigate the origins of this effect.
Dr. Sasaki knew the first-night effect probably has something to do with how humans evolved.
The puzzle was what benefit would be gained from it when performance might be affected the following day. She also knew from previous work conducted on birds and dolphins that these animals put half of their brains to sleep at a time so that they can rest while remaining alert enough to avoid predators (捕食者). This led her to wonder if people might be doing the same thing. To take a closer look, her team studied 35 healthy people as they slept in the unfamiliar environment of the university’s Department of Psychological Sciences. The participants each slept in the department for two nights and were carefully monitored with techniques that looked at the activity of their brains. Dr. Sasaki found, as expected, the participants slept less well on their first night than they did on their second, taking more than twice as long to fall asleep and sleeping less overall. During deep sleep, the participants’ brains behaved in a similar manner seen in birds and dolphins. On the first night only, the left hemispheres (半球) of their brains did not sleep nearly as deeply as their right hemispheres did.
Curious if the left hemispheres were indeed remaining awake to process information detected in the surrounding environment, Dr. Sasaki re-ran the experiment while presenting the sleeping participants with a mix of regularly timed beeps (蜂鸣声) of the same tone and irregular beeps of a different tone during the night. She worked out that, if the left hemisphere was staying alert to keep guard in a strange environment, then it would react to the irregular beeps by stirring people from sleep and would ignore the regularly timed ones. This is precisely what she found.
12. What do we learn about Dr. Yuka Sasaki doing her research?
A. She found birds and dolphins remain alert while asleep.
B. She found birds and dolphins sleep in much the same way.
C. She got some idea from previous studies on birds and dolphins
D. She conducted studies on birds’ and dolphins’ sleeping patterns.
13. What did Dr. Sasaki do when she first did her experiment?
A. She monitored the brain activity of participants sleeping in a new environment.
B. She recruited (招募) 35 participants from her Department of Psychological Sciences.
C. She studied the differences between the two sides of participants’ brains.
D. She tested her findings about birds and dolphins on human subjects.
14. What did Dr. Sasaki do when re-running her experiment?
A. She analyzed the negative effect of irregular tones on brains.
B. She recorded participants’ adaptation to changed environment.
C. She exposed her participants to two different stimuli (刺激物).
D. She compared the responses of different participants.
15. What did Dr. Sasaki find about the participants in her experiment?
A. They tended to enjoy certain tones more than others.
B. They tended to recognize irregular beeps as a threat.
C. They felt sleepy when exposed to regular beeps.
D. They differed in their tolerance of irregular tones
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. C 15. B
【解析】这篇文章的主题和睡眠环境有关,在一个陌生的环境里,人们睡在陌生的床上通常会无法入眠,心理学家们将这种现象称之为“初夜”效应。本文围绕着睡眠环境和研究者的调查内容与结论展开叙述。
13. 细节理解题。该题定位句是最后一段“Dr. Sasaki re-ran the experiment while presenting the sleeping participants with a mix of regularly timed beeps (蜂鸣声) of the same tone and irregular beeps of a different tone during the night.”。这句话提到Sasaki博士重新进行了一次实验,他让睡眠中的参加者听了两种声音,分别是“mix of regularly timed beeps (蜂鸣声) of the same tone”(定时响起音调不变的嘀声)和“irregular beeps of a different tone”(随机响起音调各异的嘀声)。故选A。
14. 细节理解题。该题定位句是最后一段“Dr. Sasaki re-ran the experiment while presenting the sleeping participants with a mix of regularly timed beeps (蜂鸣声) of the same tone and irregular beeps of a different tone during the night.”。这句话提到Sasaki博士重新进行了一次实验,他让睡眠中的参加者听了两种声音,分别是“mix of regularly timed beeps (蜂鸣声) of the same tone”(
定时响起音调不变的嘀声)和“irregular beeps of a different tone”(随机响起音调各异的嘀声)。故选C。
15. 细节理解题。该题定位句是最后一段She worked out that, if the left hemisphere was staying alert to keep guard in a strange environment, then it would react to the irregular beeps by stirring people from sleep and would ignore the regularly timed ones. This is precisely what she found.。得知Sasaki博士在实验中发现当人们在陌生环境中睡觉时,左半侧大脑保持清醒以警惕陌生环境,对随机发出的嘀声有所反应将人们从睡眠中叫醒,并且同时会忽略定时发出的嘀嘀声。可以推断出人们会把随机发出的嘀声视作一个威胁。故选B。

43. which/that
44. tired 45. because/as
46. required
47. naturally
48. facing 49. will be given
50. ourselves
【解析】 逃避现实的痛苦和不幸,是人类的天性,但人的成长恰恰是要逆着天性,面对痛苦,接受挑战才能有获得。希望我们能坚定地向前迈进。

42. 考查非谓语动词。根据句意得知:做任何事情为了避免痛苦,用不定式表示目的,故填to avoid。
43. 考查关系代词。programmes是先行词,在定语从句中做主语,故填which/that。
44. 考查形容词。feel是系动词,它后面用形容词作表语,故填tired。
45. 考查连词。根据句意得知:因为我们不想完成困难的任务,我们不去上难学的课程,表示原因用“因为”,故填because/as。
46. 考查非谓语动词。don’t like是谓语动词,require做work的后置定语,“工作“和“需要”是被动关系,故填required。
47. 考查副词。副词修饰动词,很自然地走这条道路,故填naturally。
48. 考查动名词。介词后用动名词形式,故填facing。
49. 考查动词时态。主将从现,when引导的时间状语从句中用一般现在时,主句用一般将来时,主语we和谓语give是被动关系,故填will be given。
50. 考查代词。根据句意得知:我们也可以通过避免困难来享受快乐,用enjoy oneself表示“玩得开心”,故填ourselves。
【名师点睛】
本题难点解读:
1:横线前有被修饰的先行词,且从句中缺少作主语、宾语、表语的引导词时,根据上下文考虑使用关系代词。
We look for v/eight loss programmes ___3___ don’t require us to count calories or give up our favorite foods,先行词programmes后填关系代词。它在定语从句中做主语,指物做主语或宾语可以用that或者which,故填that/which。
2:句中已有谓语动词且又无并列连词与括号内提示的动词并列,说明空格需填非谓语动词形式。
we don’t like the hard work ___6___ (require) to accomplish the goals we truly want in our lives.这里两个动词之间没有连词,故判断用非谓语形式, don’t like是谓语动词,require做work的后置定语,“工作“和“需要”是被动关系,故填required。
