17、r any sports team. “Football, tennis, cricketanything with a round ball, I was useless,” he says now with a laugh. But back then he was the object of jokes in school gym classes in Englands rural Devonshire. It was a mountain bike he received for his 15th birthday that changed him. At first the teen
18、 went biking alone in a nearby forest. Then he began to cycle along with a runner friend. Gradually, Sanders set his mind building up his body, increasing his speed, strength and endurance. At age 18, he ran his first marathon. The following year, he met John Ridgway, who became famous in the 1960s
19、for rowing an open boat across the Atlantic Ocean. Sanders was hired as an instructor at Ridgways school of Adventure in Scotland, where he learned about the older mans brave and exciting cold-water travels. Intrigued, Sanders read all he could find about Arctic explorers and North Pole expeditions,
20、 and then decided that this would be his future. Journeys to the Pole arent the usual holidays for British country boys, and many people thought of his dream as fantasy. John Ridgway was one of the few who didnt say, “You are completely crazy. In 2001, after becoming a skilled skier, Sanders started
21、 his first long-distance expedition toward the North Pole. He suffered frostbite, had a close encounter with a polar bear and pushed his body to the limit. Sanders has since become the youngest person to ski alone to the North Pole, and he has skied more of the Arctic by himself than any other Brito
22、n. His old playmates would not believe the transformation. This October, Sanders, 27, heads south to explore from the coast of Antarctica to the South Pole and back, an 1800-mile journey that has never been completed on skis.24. The turning point in Sanders life came when _.A. he started to play bal

According to the passage, Sanders journey to the North Pole _.A. made him well-known in the 1960sB. was favored b
25、y other Artic explorersC. was accompanied by his old playmatesD. set a record in the North Pole expeditionC In the Amazon rainforest of Venezuela, Yanomami hunter-gatherers exist on cassava, palm hearts and wild bananas. They also hunt frogs and monkeys using techniques that would have been familiar
26、 to their ancestors 11,000 years ago. The extraordinary continuity of their culture, and the fact that some of the groups have had little contact with outsiders, led biologists to wonder whether the Yanomami might reveal what the human digestive system looked like before industrialization supplied t
27、he world with processed foods and antibiotics. In 2019, researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine had a chance to find the answer in a previously unknown Yanomami village. Health workers collected feces (排泄物) from about 30 villagers. When the researchers cultured and analyzed microbes (微生物) from t
28、he feces in their laboratory, they discovered whole categories of bacteria that were absent from the guts (肠道) of people from industrialized countries. Even more strikingly, they found the microbial population in the average Westerner to be about half as diverse as the community inside these hunter-
29、gatherers. The researchers realized that the microbes might have implications beyond basic science. Peoples microbial communities are believed to play a role in disorders like obesity, diabetes and Alzheimers, which shorten lives and overburden health care systems. These disorders dont trouble these
30、 preindustrial hunter-gatherers, however. Therefore, researchers want to learn which microbes protect them and figure out how to reintroduce them in modern societies. It has the potential to affect health more profoundly than the discovery of the fabled Fountain of Youth. But the opportunity might b
31、e more fleeting than youth itself. “The world is becoming urban so fast.” says microbiologist Maria Gloria, co-author of the study that reveals the Yanomami microbiome (微生物群). “Our lifestyles are killing microbial diversity.” Although nobody has yet determined exactly what the Yanomami mystery bugs
32、are doing and how they improve an individuals health, she believes that scientists need to collect and preserve as many microbes as possible for future breakthroughs. “We cannot afford to wait,” she says, “or well have lost the high diversity of the human microbiome of traditional peoples before we
33、understand how to use the microbiome to improve health.”28. What did the researchers find out in 2019?A. The hunter-gatherers had a different digestive system.B. Microbial communities were to blame for many disorders.C. People from industrialized countries had less diverse microbes.D. Some categorie
34、s of bacteria did not exist in the villagers guts.29. How did the researchers make their discovery?A. By collecting health data.B. By conducting experiments.C. By interviewing the villagers.D. By recording the Yanomamis daily life.30. What does the author mean by “the opportunity might be more fleet
35、ing than youth itself”?A. The opportunity seems more precious than youth.B. The opportunity enables people to stay young forever.C. The opportunity is of great significance to modern society.D. The opportunity disappears so quickly that we cannot afford to miss it.31. What can be inferred from the p
36、assage?A. We are close to solving the mystery of Yanomami microbiome.B. Processed foods and antibiotics have changed human digestive system.C. Treating diseases by introducing beneficial bacteria has been made possible.D. The discovery of those microbes will help cure many life-threatening diseases.
37、D After years of observing human nature, I have decided that two qualities make the difference between men of great achievement and men of average performance: curiosity and discontent. I have never known an outstanding man who lacked either. And I have never known an average man who had both. The t
38、wo belong together. Together, these deep human urges (驱策力) count for much more than ambition. Galileo was not merely ambitious when he dropped objects of varying weights from the Leaning Tower at Pisa and timed their fall to the ground. Like Galileo, all the great names in history were curious and a
39、sked in discontent, “Why? Why? Why?” Fortunately, curiosity and discontent dont have to be learned. We are born with them and need only recapture them. “The great man,” said Mencius, “is he who does not lose his childs heart.” Yet most of us do lose it. We stop asking questions. We stop challenging
40、custom. We never doubt. We just follow the crowd that desires only the calm and restful average. The crowd encourages us to occupy our own little corner, to avoid foolish leaps into the dark, to be satisfied. We will have to force ourselves to do just the opposite so as to waken our curiosity and di
41、scontent. How should you start, modestly, so as not to become discouraged? I think of one friend who couldnt arrange flowers to satisfy herself. She was curious about how the experts did it. Now she is one of the experts, writing books on flower arrangement. One way to begin is to answer your own ex
42、cuses. You havent any special ability? Most people dont; there are only a few geniuses. You havent any time? Thats good, because its always the people with no time who get things done. Harriet Stowe, mother of six, wrote parts of Uncle Toms Cabin while cooking. Youre too old? Remember that Thomas Co
43、stain was 57 when he published his first novel, and that Grandma Moses showed her first pictures when she was 78. However you start, remember there is no better time to start than right now, for youll never be more alive than you are at this moment.32. In writing Paragraph 1, the author aims to _.A.
44、 give an exampleB. present an argumentC. propose a definitionD. make a comparison33. What does the example of Galileo tell us?A. Trial and error leads to the finding of truth.B. Creativity results from challenging authority.C. Greatness comes from a lasting desire to explore.D. Ambition is more impo
45、rtant than curiosity and discontent.34. What can you do to recapture curiosity and discontent?A. Lead a life of adventure.B. Follow the fashion.C. Develop a questioning mind.D. Observe the unknown around you.35. What could be the best title for the passage?A. The Keys to AchievementB. Never Too Late

Reflections on Human Nature第二节（共5小题） 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 Diet Zone: A Dangerous Place Diet Coke, diet Pepsi, diet pills, no-fat diet, vegetable diet We are surrounded by the word “diet” everywhere we look and listen. We have so
47、easily been attracted by the promise and potential of diet products that we have stopped thinking about what diet products are doing to us. _36_ Diet products significantly weaken us psychologically. On one level, we are not allowing our brain to admit that our weight problems lie not in actually lo
48、sing the weight, but in controlling the consumption of fatty, high-calorie, unhealthy foods. Diet products allow us to jump over the thinking stage and go straight for the scale (秤) instead. _37_ On another level, diet products have greater psychological effects. Every time we have a zero-calorie dr
49、ink, we are telling ourselves without our awareness that we dont have to work to get results. Diet products make people believe that gain comes without pain and that life can be without resistance and struggle. _38_ Diet foods can indirectly harm our bodies because consuming them instead of healthy
50、foods means we are preventing our bodies from having basic nutrients (营养成分). Diet foods and diet pills contain zero calorie only because the diet industry has created chemicals to produce these wonder products. Diet products may not be nutritional. _39_ Now that we are aware of the effects that diet
51、 products have on us, it is time to seriously think about buying them to reduce weight. _40_ Once we realize this, we will be much better able to resist diet products, and therefore prevent the harm that comes from using them.A. Its believed diet products contribute to losing weight.B. Chemicals tha

The danger of diet products lies also in the physical harm they cause.E. We are paying for products that harm us psychologically and physically.F. Losing weight lies in the po
