10、短文, 从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中, 选出最佳选项, 并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。AHave you ever wondered how many cigarettes youre passively smoking while walking through the streets of a polluted, smog-infused city? No? Well, a pair of digital developers just invented an app that will definitely and accurately answer that question.S
11、hit, I Smoke! was created by Brazilian-born designer Marcelo Coelho and Paris-born app developer Amaury Martiny in just a week, after they read a study that analyzed air pollution and its equivalent (等量) to cigarette smoking. The article, co-written by Richard Mueller, a MacArthur fellow and physics
12、 professor at the University of California, Berkeley, explains a mathematical model that compares smoking and tobacco-related deaths to levels of PM2.5, a microscopic particle (微粒) that is a dangerous, cancerous pollutant after burning.The app shows that Parisians can effectively take in between thr
13、ee and six cigarettes per day, while a person in Delhi could be smoking up to 20 cigarettes-without even touching one-on a bad day. Other cities have worrying numbers, too (6.5 cigarettes daily in Mexico City).“I was surprised to see that Buenos Aires and Sao Paulo have the best air quality in all L
14、atin America, despite the fact that these are heavily populated cities,” said Coelho, whos originally from the latter, Brazils largest city.For both Coelho and Martiny, the app isnt only a useful tool to inform users about their citys air quality; it also makes this information more accessible and e
15、asier to understand. “These air-quality monitoring stations are just numbers, numbers that are very specific to professionals who work in environmental issues,” Martiny said. “So when you make this conversion (转换) to cigarettes, it makes it easier to understand what people are dealing with and the c
16、onsequences air quality has in the daily lives.”The developers plan now is to keep working on and enriching the apps features. This will most likely include monthly average cigarette rates, and enabling users to get data from cities other than the one theyre in.21. What does the underlined part “tha
17、t question” mean?A. How much harmful air youre taking in.B. How harmful it is to smoke in urban areas.C. How many cigarettes one usually smokes daily.D. How severely a citys air is polluted.22. According to Shit, I Smoke!, which city has the worst air quality?A. Paris B. Mexico City. C. Delhi. D. Sa
18、o Paulo.23. Before Coelho used the app, he probably thought that_.A. Brazil might have good air condition B. his hometown was a badly polluted cityC. air pollution wasnt a problem in Latin AmericaD. Buenos Aires had the best air quality in Latin America24. In the opinion of Coelho and Martiny, what
19、is the usage of the app?A. Encouraging people to abandon the habit of smoking.B. Helping people better know their everyday air quality.C. Recommending some best places for people to live in.D. Reminding people to do something for the environment.BOnce I told someone I wanted to get a masters degree
20、of fine arts in creative writing and they told me it was the second-to-worst post-graduation plan theyd ever heard from a student. Arts degrees especially fine arts degrees, which usually come in the form of music, studio art, creative writing and theater have been, over the years, labeled (称为) usel
21、ess.Its true that for the most part, STEM degrees give rise to higher paying jobs than liberal and fine arts degrees, and its understandable why young people care about a higher starting salary and financial security. Student loan debt is playing a role in the physical and mental stress of young peo
22、ple.And while STEM majors usually have starting salaries that are $20,000 higher than those of liberal arts majors, by the time people reach the age of 40, the salaries between those who majored in the liberal arts and those who majored in STEM are virtually the same. For example, women who major in
23、 STEM earned nearly 50% more than social science and history majors at ages 23-25, but only 10% more by ages 38-40, a New York Times analysis reported. So even in terms of salary, which doesnt solely determine whether or not a degree is useful, liberal arts degrees arent all that far behind STEM.It
24、seems too that since people nowadays are going to have to work longer, its more important than ever that we actually like and care about what were doing. Pursuing (追求) something enjoyable, or else a passion, is continuously found to be a key factor in maintaining healthy relationships, mental health
25、, physical health and energy. In other words, not useless.And just because someones primary job isnt in their field of study a writer who teaches high school for example doesnt make the degree useless. It just means that their way of finding a stable income is different. The same goes for artists wh
26、o have to work multiple jobs to support themselves. They might have to find other means of supporting themselves and their artistry. It might be copy editing or it might be tutoring.So I am going to graduate school, and I am going to graduate school for writing. I might be paying rent by way of over
27、night restaurant shifts theres so much Im not sure of. But one thing I am sure of is this I would rather be a writer working two jobs to pay my bills than be no writer at all.25. A New York Times analysis report is mentioned in Paragraph 3 to _.A. analyse the value of different majors B. prove the a
28、rgument against arts wrongC. raise the opinion on majors by example D. present the link between majors and incomes26. Why does the author think learning arts is useful?A. Following art dreams keeps one in good condition.B. Doing what one loves builds up ones confidence.C. Arts improves ones understa
29、nding of different jobs.D. A love for arts helps one maintain passion for work.27. The author thinks that doing multiple jobs is _.A. unavoidable B. common C. acceptable D. traditional28. What can we infer from the passage?A. Arts students concern more about the value of life.B. The man not loving h
30、is work wont stick with a job.C. Income often comes first when people choose majors.D. Graduates in arts can find possible development.CAlthough it has been shown in recent years that plants can see, hear and smell, they are still usually thought of as silent. But now, for the first time, they have
31、been recorded making ultrasonic (超声的) cries when stressed, which researchers say could open up a new field of precision agriculture where farmers listen for water-starved crops.Itzhak Khait and his colleagues at Tel Aviv University in Israel found that tomato and tobacco plants made cries at frequen
32、cies humans cannot hear when stressed by not having enough water or when their stem is cut.Microphones placed 10 centimetres from the plants picked up sounds in the ultrasonic range of 20 to 100 kilohertz, which the team says insects and some mammals would be able to hear and respond to from as far
33、as 5 metres away. A moth may decide against laying eggs on a plant that sounds water-stressed, the researchers suggest. Plants could even hear that other plants are short of water and react accordingly, they speculate (推断).On average, drought-stressed tomato plants made 35 sounds an hour, while toba
34、cco plants made 11. When plant stems were cut, tomato plants made an average of 25 sounds in the following hour, and tobacco plants 15. Unstressed plants produced fewer than one sound per hour, on average.Enabling farmers to listen for water-stressed plants could “open a new direction in the field o
35、f precision agriculture”, the researchers suggest. They add that such an ability will be increasingly important as climate change exposes more areas to drought.“The suggestion that the sounds that drought-stressed plants make could be used in precision agriculture seems feasible (可行的) if it is not t
36、oo costly to set up the recording in a field situation,” says Anne Visscher at the royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, in the UK.She warns that the results cant yet be broadened out to other stresses, such as salt or temperature, because these may not cause sounds. Besides, there have been no experiments to
37、 show whether moths or any other animal can hear and respond to the sounds the plants make, so that idea is still based on guesses for now, she says.29. The experiment by researchers at Tel Aviv University shows that_.A. humans can hear water-hungry plants crying clearlyB. plant sounds can be heard
38、by plants quite far awayC. tomato plants cry more often than tobacco when hurtD. moths like laying eggs on stressed plants30. What is Anne Visschers attitude towards the finding of the experiment?A. Cautious. B. Disappointed. C. Appreciative.D. Optimistic.31. Taking advantage of the new research fin

Cries of Plants Break Farmers Hearts第二节 (共5小题; 每小题2分, 共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。 The way individuals collectively remember, forget, and recall event, people, places, etc, has been an important topic of research on collective memory (集体记忆). _33_ He develo
41、ped the concept of collective memory, arguing that individual memories are only understood within the context of a group through time and space. In all cases, most research on memory studies relies on long procedures. _34_ They include theoretical concepts, the study of historical sources, oral hist
42、ories, case studies, interviews, and surveys. For example, one group of researchers carried out several interviews to investigate younger and older American adults for three wars, namely, the Civil War, World War , and the Iraq War. _35_ Both younger and older adults recalled the bombings of Hiroshi
43、ma and Nagasaki; however, they differed in how they rated the bombings.More recently, memory study scholars tend to stress the significance of the media in shaping collective memories: “Culture and individuals memory are constantly produced through the technologies of memory.” Under this perspective
44、, research often involves content analysis of news and the use of surveys or interviews for analyzing the public memory. _36_However, developments in digital technologies in recent years have significantly influenced how we keep track of events both as individuals and as a collective. “The Internet
45、doesnt forget.” The Internet has had strong impacts on memory and the processes of remembering and forgetting. _37_ Analyzing different Web documents, researchers have shown that more recent past events are remembered more vividly in the present.A. Research on collective memory is often based on dif
46、ferent aspects.B. There are a few simple things a person can do to help improve their memory.C. Maurice Halbwachs is recognized as the father of collective memory research.D. Although all Americans recalled similar events, the interpretation (诠释) changed over the generations.E. Also, scholars have s
47、tudied the role of journalists as collective memory agents by analyzing their stories.F. Recently developed information technologies have affected how we create, store and recall information.G. Meanwhile, it has transformed collective memory into an observable phenomenon that can be tracked and meas

In summer, my brother Harry and I would run through a stand of oak trees to skip stones there. The pond wore a collar of black mud. It
75、 was not a place for swimming.In late summer, the pond would be covered by a green and bubbly scum (起泡的浮渣). Sometimes a strong, uncomfortable smell rose from it. We stayed away.When winter came, the pond was once again an inviting place. One day when ice covered it, Harry said to me, “Try walking ac
76、ross.”The ice looked solid. No water showed through it, but I hesitated. “Go ahead.” Harry urged. “Try it. Youre lighter than I am. If the ice holds, we can run and slide carefully on it. Itll be fun.” I wanted to please Harry, and I thought about the fun of a long slide on the ice. I began to slide
77、 across the pond.In the middle of the pond, the ice gave way with a sudden crack (裂缝)! I stretched out my arms. The next thing I knew I was hanging on to the edge of a hole in the ice by arms outstretched on the ice. From my shoulders down I hung in icy water. I thought of the bottom of the pond. I
78、knew it would be black and awful down there, full of mud and maybe rotting creatures. I tried to climb out of the hole, but when I got a knee on the ice, it broke like window glass. Again and again I tried to get out. Again and again the ice broke into pieces. The hole widened. I was wearing a coat
79、of heavy material. As it became completely wet, it dragged me down. I was tired of the struggle and rested with my arms stretched out on the ice.I looked at Harry on shore. He seemed rooted to the spot. “I cant get out!” I screamed when I caught some breath.注意：1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2. 至少使用5个短文中标有下划线的关
