Big brothers and sister
21、s tend to look out for their younger siblings, and despite the occasional rocky moments,many siblings have lifelong close relationships.However, a new study finds the interesting downside: children with older brothers take longer when it comes to developing language skills.The study, conducted by a
22、group of researchers in Paris, France, builds on the earlier research that had already established that having older siblings is associated with poor linguistic (语言的) development. Now, researchers say they have come to a more specific conclusion: only children with older brothers exhibit these lingu
23、istic difficulties.One would assume that children with older brothers would grow up around more conversation on a daily basis, thus speeding up their language development.Yet researchers say such children actually take longer than their older brothers to begin developing these skills.Researchers stu
24、died more than 1,000 children from their birth to the age of five and a half years old. Each childs language skills were tested at ages 2, 3, and 5.5, using tests specially designed to measure numerous aspects of language development such as vocabulary, syntax (句法), and verbal reasoning.What the res
25、earch team discovered was significant: children with older brothers had, on average, a twomonth delay in their language development compared to children with older sisters.When explaining this phenomenon, researchers have proposed two hypotheses (假设)The first hypothesis is that older sisters tend to
26、 talk more often than older brothers, which would make up for parents potentially being less present than they were for their first child.The second is that older sisters usually compete with their siblings less than older brothers for their parents love.So far, the studys authors say they cant say
27、for certain why children with older brothers have a harder time developing language skills.In the future they would like to investigate if cultures or locations impact the results of the study.语篇解读有一个哥哥或姐姐有很多益处,哥哥和姐姐倾向于照顾他们的弟弟妹妹,但一项新的研究发现,有哥哥的孩子的语言能力发展比较慢。8People may enjoy having brothers and sister
28、s because _.Asiblings may affect the speed of language learningBthey share the happy moments on rocky mountainsColder brothers and sisters will take care of younger onesDall siblings will stay close to each other no matter what happens解析:推理判断题。根据第一段第二句中的“Big brothers and sisters tend to look out for
29、 their younger siblings”可知,哥哥和姐姐往往会照顾他们的弟弟、妹妹,由此可推知,很多人可能喜欢有哥哥、姐姐,是因为哥哥、姐姐们会照顾弟弟、妹妹。故选C。答案:C9What does the previous research suggest about having older siblings?AMany children prefer having brothers and sisters.BIt will affect the younger ones language development.COlder brothers may have something
30、to do with the linguistic difficulties.DChildren with older brothers would grow up around more conversation on a daily basis.解析:细节理解题。根据第二段第一句中的“the earlier research that had already established that having older siblings is associated with poor linguistic development”可知,之前的研究表明,有哥哥姐姐与语言能力发展不良有关。故选B

32、because older sisters get less love from their parents compared to older brothers.解析:推理判断题。根据第六段第三句“The second is that older sisters usually compete with their siblings less than older brothers for their parents love.”可知,对于有哥哥的孩子语言能力发展比有姐姐的慢这个现象的原因,研究人员提出的第二个假设是,为了得到父母的爱,姐姐们通常比哥哥们更少地与弟弟妹妹竞争。由此可推知,哥哥
33、们渴望得到更多的关注。故选A。答案:A11Which one is the best title for the passage?AHaving older siblings: a good thing or a disaster?BThe delay of your childrens language developmentCWhy do children suffer from poor language skills?DOlder brothers may affect younger ones in language learning解析:标题归纳题。文章主要讲述了一项新的研究有哥哥

38、, they asked him to draw a fivepointed star on a sheet of paper while only looking at it and his hand in a mirror, which means the image was reversed (颠倒的)Although HM.s handeye coordination skills improved over the several days, he never remembered performing it.Is procedural knowledge then fundamen
39、tally more stable than explicit knowledge? As it turns out, the former is more resistant to both loss and trauma (创伤)Even with traumatic brain injury the procedural memory system is hardly ever compromised.Thats probably because the structures responsible for processing nondeclarative memory are pro
40、tected in the brains center.However, its not clear, beyond brain damage, why procedural memory contents are not as easily forgotten as declarative ones are.According to one idea, in the regions where movement patterns are rooted, fewer new nerve cells may be formed in adults.Without the development

102、s also examined lipid turnover in 41 women who had bariatric surgery (减肥手术) and how the lipid turnover rate affected their ability to keep the weight off four to seven years after surgery.The result showed that only those who had a low rate before the surgery managed to increase their lipid turnover

111、ere have also been reports of leopard seals behaving in a friendly manner towards peopleapparently trying to present gifts, in the form of prey (捕获物), to divers.Until now, there has been no explanation for this action.But work just published in Polar Biology by James Robbins of Plymouth University,
112、in Britain, suggests that what the seals are actually looking for is a dining partner.Mr.Robbins and his team were studying leopard seals in the waters around South Georgia, an island in the Southern Ocean 1,500 km from the tip of the Antarctic Peninsula.Instead of diving or watching from ships, the
113、y employed unmanned aircraft to carry out their observation, which recorded unobserved behavior on the part of the animals.First, the leopard seals came together in groups to attack king penguins that were entering the sea from a rookery (群栖地) on the island.Second, when a leopard seal did catch a pe
114、nguin in these circumstances, it would sometimes offer to share it with a neighbour in a way reminding us of divers tales of gift giving. What looked like an abnormal phenomenon might just be a normal way of behaving.But why?The video shows that the seals in such partnership take it in turns to feed
115、.One holds the bird tight in its jaws while the other tears off a chunk of flesh and swallows it.Then they swap roles.By contrast, for a lone seal to reduce a penguin to bitesized chunks means whipping (搅打) the prey around in its jaws with as much force as it can gather in order to tear chunks of fl

119、y used unmanned aircraft.解析:细节理解题。根据第四段的最后一句可知,Mr.Robbins和他的团队是采用无人机拍摄的方式对豹海豹的行为进行观察研究的。答案:D15Why will one leopard seal share a penguin with another leopard seal?ATo show off its force.BTo make it easier to eat.CTo eat it more thoroughly.DTo get along well with its neighbour.解析:推理判断题。根据最后一段可知,一只豹海豹与
120、另一只豹海豹分享一只企鹅时,会采取协作的方式轮流进食。相比而言,一只豹海豹想要独自从一只企鹅尸体上扯下一块肉吃就显得极其费劲。由此可知,豹海豹之所以愿意与伙伴共享一只企鹅是为了让进食变得更加容易。答案:B.阅读七选五根据短文内容,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。Find a few trusted lists.The publishing industry puts out more than 50,000 books a year.1 Nobody does.However, we should get our reading lists from boo

330、rced to sell her crop for a bit.“If my farm was affected by pests, I could only afford to buy a small amount of pesticide, which was usually not effective.And corn in storage is often lost to moisture (潮气) and pests,which is a big problem,” says Usman, now 38.In 2017, Usman joined Babban Gona, a soc
331、ial enterprise that acts as a farmers partner and offers farmers credit, training and other support.It was launched in 2012 with 102 farmers,and now works with 20,000.Field officers employed by Babban Gona photograph its farmers fields.An app reviews the photos,evaluating the germination (发芽) rate a
332、nd seeing if the soil needs nutrients based on leaf colors.The field officers step in to warn farmers of any problems they find and advise on possible solutions.Some farmers have increased their yields (产量) by 50 percent.Once the corn is harvested, Babban Gona stores it in sealed containers and aims
333、 to sell it at the right time to maximize the farmers profits.The payments Usman receives from Babban Gona allow her to invest in a cow, to buy new clothes for her family, and to build a house.语篇解读文章以Esther Usman为例介绍了非洲农民在科技的帮助下生活状况得以改善的情况。8What can Usman be described in her early life?AActive but u

BReserving it.CKilling pests on the farm. DFeeding and educating her children.解析:细节理解题。根据第三段中的“And corn in stora
336、ge is often lost to moisture and pests,which is a big problem”可知,Usman说储藏中的玉米经常会因为潮气和害虫而坏掉,因此对她来说收完玉米后的储存是个问题,即储存玉米是一个挑战。故答案为B。答案:B10How do the field officers work in Babban Gona?AThey evaluate the photos of crops. BThey lend money to needy farmers.CThey send photos taken by farmers to an app. DThey
337、 serve as a bridge between farmers and it.解析:推理判断题。根据第四段中对field officers的工作内容的介绍“Field officers employed by Babban Gona photograph its farmers fields.The field officers step in to warn farmers of any problems they find and advise on possible solutions.”可知,Babban Gona雇用的田地工作人员对农民的田地进行拍照,一个应用程序审核这些照片并
338、评估这些照片中的农作物,而后田地工作人员告诉农民他们发现的任何问题,并就可能的解决方案提出建议。由此可推知,田地工作人员充当了农民和这个公司之间的桥梁。答案:D11What does the text mainly talk about?ATechnology helps African farmers live better.BA company supports African farmers.CFarming in Africa is faced with a difficult situation.DAfrican farmers invent smart farming.解析:主旨大
339、意题。本文以Esther Usman为例介绍了科技帮助非洲农民改善生活状况,故答案为A。答案:ADLead (铅) has proved to be such a useful metal that it turns up everywhere,from water pipes to window flashing and printing.Yet lead is also a poison.In the worst cases it may cause death.More often it acts unknowingly.It is a danger to young children,
340、 who are most likely to take in polluted dust and paint chips.Their brains are especially harmed.Only years after exposure are the results apparent in lower IQs, behavioral disorders and learning disabilities.The dangers of lead have long been known.America banned it from paint 40 years ago, and by
341、the late 1990s leaded petrol had been forbidden bit by bit in almost all rich countries.But the effects last.Half a million American children are diagnosed with lead poisoning.The situation is more alarming in the poor world, where the use of leadbased paints is spreading.Controlling lead poisoning
342、more than pays for itself.There is no excuse for poor countries to repeat the mistakes of rich ones.In 2015, the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation, a research institute in Seattle, estimated that exposure to lead globally caused about 500,000 deaths that year and 12% of developmental disab
343、ilities.Another estimate is that lead poisoning costs Africa 135 billion dollars a year, the equivalent of 4% of GDP.All countries should ban lead in paint.There should be no exemption for industrial use, because the pollution spreads and industrial paint inevitably finds its way into the consumer m
344、arket.Yet only four subSaharan African countries have formally placed bans and local manufacturers are often unaware of the harm that lead causes.The next step is to find and remove more of the lead introduced decades ago, particularly in rich countries.This will not be cheap, especially when the cl
345、eanup involves replacing lead pipes, as it often does in America.But the costs are worth it.The Pew Charitable Trusts, a nongovernmental organization, has calculated that every dollar spent on “lead reduction” saves at least D|S17 in medical and specialeducation costs.语篇解读本文是一篇说明文。在日常生活和工业生产中随处可见的铅对
346、人类尤其是儿童的大脑造成了伤害。作者就此提出整改措施:停止使用含铅日用品并改造城市中与铅中毒有关的基础设施。12Whats the main idea of Paragraph 2?ALead is most likely to do harm to young childrens brains.BThe cost of controlling lead poisoning is beyond expectation.CPolluted dust and paint chips are main sources of lead exposure.DIt takes a long time fo
347、r a child to show symptoms of lead poisoning.解析:段落大意题。第二段主要讲了铅对儿童大脑的损害。答案:A13What does the author mainly want to suggest in Paragraph 3?ALead poisoning is not serious in poor countries.BPoor countries should learn from rich ones about lead use.CIts urgent and worthwhile to stop lead poisoning in poo
348、r countries.DThe children harmed by lead poisoning are increasing in poor countries.解析:推理判断题。根据第三段最后两句可知,欠发达国家控制铅中毒所带来的最终利益远超对此的投入。作者主要想表明这样做是迫切的,也是值得的。答案:C14What does the underlined word “exemption” in Paragraph 5 mean?APraise.BPermission.CBlame. DCharge.解析:词义猜测题。根据上句“All countries should ban lead
349、in paint.”可知,画线词与permission意思最接近。答案:B15What does “lead reduction” refer to?AStopping putting more lead into the environment.BRepainting walls and replacing paint containing lead.CUpgrading facilities that have been used for decades.DSearching for and getting rid of leadcontaining products.解析:推理判断题。最
350、后一段的“to find and remove more of the lead introduced decades ago”及下文的“the cleanup involves replacing lead pipes”点明了lead reduction的含义,即“寻找并移除含铅产品”。答案:D.阅读七选五根据短文内容,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。Do you have struggles with eating?

While weight loss may be th
354、e goal of many people on a diet, Farkas says this is the wrong focus. 5 Therefore, he suggests, its best to stop monitoring your weight strictly and focus instead on measurable behavioral changes.For example, you can start experimenting with eating out less often,or walking or biking to work rather
