这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了锻炼的益处很多，而且可以通过简单的方式完成，每做一些锻
炼都会有帮助。
【1 题详解】
考查副词。句意：保持身体活跃益处很多。分析句子成分可知，active 是形容词作表语，需
使用副词作状语修饰，因此使用 physical 的副词形式 physically。故填 physically。
【2 题详解】
考查主谓一致。句意：锻炼也能带来精神上的益处。分析句子成分可知，句中缺少谓语动词，
且主语为第三人称单数形式，因此谓语动词应使用 bring 的第三人称单数形式 brings。故填
brings。
【3 题详解】考查名词复数。句意：事实上锻炼可以通过简单的方式来完成。分析句子结构并翻译语境可
知，way 被 simple 修饰，无定冠词限定，因此使用 way 的复数形式 ways。故填 ways。

提示词的空白处用括号内所给词的正确形式填空。
It's a popular belief that fish can't remember anything___4___ longer than seven seconds. It
may seem sad to think that they don't remember what they've eaten or where they've been. But a
recent study ____5____ ( find) that a kind of fish called African cichlids can remember events from
as long as 12 days ago. Researchers trained the fish to go to a certain area of their tank ___6___
( get) food. They then waited for 12 days before _____7_____ ( put) them back in the tank again.
With the help of computer software, they found the fish still went to the same place where they first
got food.
【答案】4. for 5. has found\finds\found
6. to get 7. putting
【解析】
本文是说明文。研究表明鱼的记忆力比我们认为的要好得多。
【4 题详解】
考查介词。句意：许多人都认为,鱼的记忆不超过 7 秒。分析句子结构并翻译语境可知，“for+
时间”结构做时间状语表示“长达...”段时间，符合语境。故填 for。
【5 题详解】
考查动词时态。句意：近日有研究表明，鱼的记忆力比我们认为的要好得多。最近研究报道，
像 African cichlids 的鱼类甚至能记得 12 天前发生的事。根据语境可知，使用一般过去时表
示“过去某时间发现的结果”；使用现在完成时表示“截至目前已经发现的结果”；使用一般
现在时表示“客观发现的结果”，三种时态均符合语境。故填has found\finds\found。
【6 题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：研究人员训练鱼游到鱼缸的特定区域获取食物。分析句子结构可知，
句中存在谓语动词 trained，且 fish 与 get 之间为目的性关系，因此使用不定式形式 to get。
故填 to get。
【7 题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：12 天后，他们再次将这些鱼放到了这个鱼缸里。分析句子成分可知，介词 before 后接动词的动名词形式，因此使用 put 的动名词形式 putting。故填 putting。

【解析】
本文是记叙文。讲述了 2017 年 4 月，中国大熊猫引进荷兰动物园，受到当地人热烈欢迎的
事情。
【8 题详解】
考查动词语态和主谓一致。句意：他们受到欢迎到结合中式风格的住所居住。分析句子结构
并翻译语境可知，they 与 welcome 之间为被动关系，使用被动语态，且 they 为复数，因此
使用 are welcomed。故填 are welcomed。
【9 题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：所有准备工作做完后，5 月 30 日，熊猫们首次见粉丝的日子终于到
了。通过分析句子结构可知，空后句子是定语从句，修饰限定先行词 day 时间，因此使用关
系词 when 引导。故填 when。
【10 题详解】
考查冠词。句意：人们很兴奋，因为这座动物园是城里唯一能看到大熊猫的地方。分析句子
结构并翻译语境可知，only 意为“唯一”表明 zoo 应使用定冠词限定。故填 the。

Most Helpful Apps for Students
There's almost an app for everything nowadays, and this can make student life easier, cheaper,
safer and more fun. Whether you want help with taking notes, revising, waking up on time or
keeping fit， read on for our student app picks．
Lecture recording apps
Just a few years ago, students attending lectures would have to spend the entire time writing wildly on notepads, in order not to miss any vital bit of information. Then along came technology,
and now， lecture recording apps are a reality.
Sound Note is a popular lecture recording app for iPad users. You can store an entire lecture in
both visual and audio form. Other good quality lecture recording apps include Notes Plus and Audio
Memos Free—The Voice Recorder.
Student planner apps
Organization is key for success and well-being at university, and student planner apps are
becoming increasingly popular. As well as saving on paper, many student planner apps also send

Timetable, My Class Schedule and Class Timetable.
Student safety apps
A number of apps for students have been developed promoting personal safety if out alone at
night. The Circle of Six app is particularly useful for locating lost friends on nights out and also
allows users to send their circle of six friends an instant call for help at the touch of a button. The
GPS tracker will mark your location on your friends" devices, ensuring you'll always be able to find
one another if necessary. Other student apps that promote safety include bSafe and React Mobile.
Healthy eating apps
If you're interested in eating healthily while keeping to a student budget, consider downloading
a few healthy eating apps. Examples I've come across which are perfect apps for students include
Rockin Ramen， a student app featuring a number of nutritious recipes with Ramen as a main
ingredient, and MealBoard, an app which plans healthy meals, grocery shops and recipes based on
what you've got in the fridge.

Jeremy Locke, who owns a roofing and construction company in Glace Bay, Nova Scotia, had
always been wanting to repair the roof of Jeanette MacDonald's home. Whenever he drove past the
woman's home, he assumed that the roof was under repair because the job had already been taken on
by another group of repairmen—but as the weeks wore on, the roof continued to worsen without any
signs of repair.
“ I had it in my mind that if no one steps up to help this lady in our community, I’d be more than
happy to,” Locke told CBC.
When Locke finally reached out to MacDonald about fixing her roof for free, however, she
politely declined his offer because she did not like to accept charity. That being said, she had already applied for a government grant （补助金） to fix the roof and she said she was more than happy
to hire Locke once her grant application was approved.
Unfortunately, MacDonald never received the approval.
As the stubborn （固执的） Canadian senior refused to accept any assistance from Locke,
the sympathetic construction worker played an innocent trick in order to get her to accept his help.
He invited MacDonald to enter a raffle （抽奖活动）that his business was holding for a free roof.
After the grandmother — of — four accepted one of the raffle tickets, Locke told her that she was
the winner—because she was the only one who had entered the raffle.
Thanks to his sweet little plan, Locke and his crew are starting work on the roof this week,
which is expected to cost his company about $9, 000.
MacDonald, meanwhile, told CBC that she doesn't know how to express her gratitude to
Locke, saying that he is her “guardian angel”.
"There's nobody out there like him," she added.
34. What did Locke desire to do for MacDonald?
A. Repair her roof. B. Find a repairman.
C. Run a charity. D. Raise money.
35. Why did MacDonald refuse Locke's offer initially?
A. She didn't trust him. B. She had won a raffle.
C. She didn't like free help. D. She had got an official grant.
36. How did Locke finally make MacDonald change her mind?
A. He persuaded her to give up her application.
B. He invited her to enter his business.
C. He gave her about $9, 000.
D. He told her a white lie.
37. Which of the following words best describe Locke?
A Stubborn and tricky. B. Wealthy and innocent.
C. Determined and warm-hearted. D. Different and ambitious.
【答案】34. A 35. C 36. D 37. C
【解析】
这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了 Jeremy Locke 为 Jeanette MacDonald 免费修理屋顶的经历。【34 题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Jeremy Locke, who owns a roofing and construction company in Glace
Bay, Nova Scotia, had always been wanting to repair the roof of Jeanette MacDonald's home.”可知，
Jeremy Locke 一直都很想修理 Jeanette MacDonald 家的屋顶，A 项切合题意。故选 A 项。
【35 题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“she politely declined his offer because she did not like to accept
charity.”可知，她礼貌地拒绝了Locke 的帮助是因为他不想接受免费的帮助，C 项切题。故
选 C 项。
【36 题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中“As the stubborn （固执的） Canadian senior refused to accept any
assistance from Locke, the sympathetic construction worker played an innocent trick in order to get
her to accept his help”可知，因为这位固执的加拿大老人拒绝 Locke 的帮助，这个有同情心
的建筑工人玩了一个善意的伎俩来让她接受帮助，意在表明 Locke 说了一个善意的谎言使得
MacDonald 改变了主意，D 项切题。故选 D 项。
【37 题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“I had it in my mind that if no one steps up to help this lady in our
community, I’d be more than happy to”可知如果没人出面帮这位女士修屋顶，Locke 非常愿意
帮忙修理，表明 Locke 乐于助人，很热心。结合下文第五段中“As the stubborn （固执的）
Canadian senior refused to accept any assistance from Locke, the sympathetic construction worker
played an innocent trick in order to get her to accept his help.”可知为了让MacDonald 接受帮助，
Locke 说了一个善意的谎言，意在表明 Locke 是一个很有决心的人，C 项“有决心、热心”
符合题意。故选 C 项。

What is the most meaningless thing every Texan will do at the same time this weekend?
You guessed it. We will “fall back” when our clocks are set backward one hour in observance
of daylight saving time.
This strange practice has an interesting history. In 1784, Benjamin Franklin published a critical
essay in a French newspaper suggesting that Parisians could save $200 million through “the
economy of using sunshine instead of candles”. Therefore ， many people owe the origin of the
idea of daylight saving time to our Founding Father's writings. In the United States, the clock-changing practice began just over 100 years ago, in 1918, when Congress decided to control
time by passing the Standard Time Act to save energy and create time zones. Back then, coal was
our top energy source and ensuring that Americans had more daylight working hours made sense.
In 2008, the U. S. Department of Energy assessed the effect of observing daylight saving time
on national energy consumption. It found that resetting our clocks amounts to a reduction in our
total energy consumption of 0. 02%. The study also determined that sticking with one time could
actually save about 0.5% of electricity per day nationwide. Apart from this, the risk of heart attack
increases 10% in the days following springing forward, most likely caused by the interruption of
biological rhythms. Studies also indicate we are more likely to get sick, we are less productive, and
frankly we are just exhausted directly following the time change.
It is hard to explain why we still change our clocks. Perhaps it is due to special interests.
Congress passed the Energy Act of 2005, which extended the length of daylight saving time an extra
week in the fall, in large part due to an effort by candy producers to allow for an additional daylight
hour on the night of Halloween for trick -or - treating.
This May, we sought to end this ancient practice. It would have allowed Texans to vote
whether to stay on standard time year-round or daylight saving time year-round. Our proposal
passed the House （众议院）133-9. Sadly, once the bill reached the Senate （参议院）,it was
never referred to a committee. The proposal died in the Senate without even a word spoken about it
on the floor.
I'm moving forward with plans to file the legislation （ 立 法） again in 2021. I urge you to
contact your state legislators to move this legislation forward so that this weekend will be one of the
last times we have to “fall back.”
38. The possible origin of the idea of daylight saving time is .
A. the ancient legal act B. the influence of other countries
C. the need for time zones D. the advice from a famous politician
39. What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about?
A. The reasons for health problems. B. The downsides of setting clocks back.
C. The changes in energy consumption. D. The solutions to electricity shortages.
40. It can be inferred from the last two paragraphs that .
A. daylight saving time will last for another two yearsB. the author will continue what he has been doing
C. Texans voted for standard time year-round
D. state legislators are for the proposal
41. The passage aims to .
A. analyze the practice of daylight saving time
B. explain the consequences of daylight saving time
C. convince people of the necessity of daylight saving time
D. persuade people to make efforts to stop daylight saving time
【答案】38. D 39. B 40. B 41. D
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。介绍了在加州夏令时的起源、发展、存在的问题和未来的实施前景。
【38 题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“In 1784, Benjamin Franklin published a critical essay in a French
newspaper suggesting that Parisians could save $200 million through “the economy of using
sunshine instead of candles”. Therefore ， many people owe the origin of the idea of daylight
saving time to our Founding Father's writings.”可知，在1784 年富兰克林在法国报纸上发表了
一篇文章，关于建议用日光代替蜡烛，巴黎人每年可以节约 2 亿元，因此很多人把夏令时的
想法归因于开国元勋富兰克林的文章，表明夏令时的想法起源于一位政治家的建议，D 项切
题。故选 D 项。
【39 题详解】
段落大意题。根据第四段中“Studies also indicate we are more likely to get sick, we are less
productive, and frankly we are just exhausted directly following the time change.”可知研究表明
我们更可能生病、效率更低，坦白地说时间的改变会直接导致我们疲惫，表明此段讲述了调
回时间带来的负面影响，B 项切题。故选 B 项。
【40 题详解】

D
According to a new study， teens focus on rewards and have a hard time learning to avoid
punishment or consider the consequences of alternative actions.
University College London researchers compared how teens and adults learn to make choices
based on the available information. They tracked the way in which 18 volunteers aged 12-17 and 20
volunteers aged 18-32 completed tasks in which they had to choose between abstract symbols.
Each symbol was consistently associated with a fixed chance of a reward, punishment, or no
outcome. As the trial progressed ， participants learned which symbols were likely to lead to each
outcome and adjusted their choices accordingly. Teens and adults were equally good at learning to
choose symbols associated with reward， but teens were less good at avoiding symbols associated
with punishment. Adults also performed significantly better when they were told what would have
happened if they had chosen the other symbol after each choice， while teens did not appear to take
this information into account.
“From this experimental lab study we can draw conclusions about learning during the teen
years. We find that teens and adults learn in different ways， something that might be relevant to
education," said lead author Dr. Stefano Palminteri. " Unlike adults, teens are not so good at
learning to adjust their choices to avoid punishment. This suggests that incentive systems based on
reward rather than punishment may be more effective for this age group. Additionally, we found
that teens did not learn from being shown what would have happened if they made alternative
choices."
To interpret the results, the researchers developed computational models of learning and ran
simulations （模拟）applying them to the results of the study. The first was a simple model, one
that learned from rewards, and the second model added to this by also learning from the option that
was not chosen. The third model was the most complete and took the full context into account, with
equal weight given to punishment avoidance and reward seeking. For example, obtaining no
outcome rather than losing a point is weighted equally to gaining a point rather than having no outcome.
Comparing the experimental data to the models, the team found that teens" behavior followed
the simple reward-based model while adults" behavior matched the complete, contextual model.
“Our study suggests that teens are more receptive to rewards than they are to punishments of equal
value, ” said senior author Dr. Sarah-Jayne Blakemore. “As a result, it may be useful for parents and
teachers to frame things in more positive terms.”
42. It can be learned from the study that .
A. adults made choices faster than teens
B. adults understood rewards better than teens
C. teens reacted better to reward than punishment
D. teens were aware of the outcome of each choice
43. What do we know about the three computational models?
A. They reflected people’s strong desire for punishment avoidance.
B. They gave circumstances different degrees of consideration.
C. They paid equal attention to reward and punishment.
D. They shaped the behavior of people at different ages.
44. The underlined word “receptive" in the last paragraph probably means .
A. accustomed B. opposed
C. sympathetic D. responsive
45. According to the writer, which of the following statements works best for teens?
A. “If you insist on doing things in this way， you will lose ten points. "
B. “If we had talked about this earlier， you wouldn’t have made the mistake. "
C. “ If you hand in your assignment ahead of time， you will get an extra bonus."
D. “If you want to approach a problem differently ， you can talk to your parents. "

Plogging
Plogging is a new way to jog while cleaning up the planet. It's a craze that began in Sweden in
2016 and the motivation behind it includes reducing the load of plastic litter in our environment, as
well as keeping fit while running. ___46___If you love outdoor exercise, enjoy exercising with
others, and care about removing litter from our environment, then this might just be the sport for
you.Make good preparations before plogging. Dress suitably for the environment in which you are
running. This will vary depending on the weather and surroundings, but the basics are comfortable
running clothes and closed-toe running shoes. Suitable gloves are a wise and useful addition, as
picking up litter can be dangerous in some situations. ___47___This might be a standard trash bag,
easy to carry and capable of containing litter that might have sharp edges.
Organize your plogging group. If you're lucky enough to have ploggers already in your area,
seek them out. Join up and make new friends with a shared interest. Check out such meeting groups
at Meetup or ask at a local sports store to find out what opportunities exist where you live. If you
don't have a group, create one. Use social media, notices on bulletin boards, or place signs in the
windows of sports stores to find fellow ploggers. ___48___
Collect safely. One key suggestion for staying safe while collecting litter is to avoid picking up
broken glass or sharp items. If you must collect such an item, only do so when you can find a very
safe way to collect it without harming yourself. If in doubt, leave it and get better equipment to
remove it. ___49___If an item of litter presents a potential safety risk, try to mark the item clearly to
encourage people to avoid it.
___50___ It is a way of combining individual achievement via exercise with community and
environmental care. You're part of the growing movement of people who are giving back to the
world at the same time as honoring self care, a sustainable and healthy way to balance your life. This
could be a fantastic opportunity to show people that individual action makes a big difference.
A. Taking some photos during the process is also necessary.
B. You can also ask for assistance from the local authorities.
C. Usually performed as part of a group run, it's also a social exercise.
D. You also need to find a suitable carry bag for collecting the litter in.
E. Plogging is a great way to feel motivated as it has more than one benefit.
F. If you find a natural area with litter problem, this might be a suitable place.
G. With some advertising effort, you are likely to connect with a few interested people.
