Research in the field of neuroplasticity -the brains adaptability- shows that the visual cortex(大脑皮层) is made active by touch. Blind people recognize shap

For Luc, this means 64 (independent). “The feeling of being able to see it 65 to form my opinion is like breaking down another wall as a blind person.”【2022.01浙江卷】Kim Cobb, a professor at the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta, is one of

Travelling to conferences, lectures, workshops, and the like - frequently by plane - _57_(view) as important for scientists to get together and exchange information. But Cobb and others _58

On a website called No Fly Climate Sci, for example, _60_(rough) 200 academics - many of them cl

Cobb, for her party, started to ask conference organizers who invited her to speak _62_ she could do so remotely; about three-quarters of _63_ time, they agreed. When the answer, was no, she, declined

That approach brought Cobbs air travel last year down by 75%, and she plans _65_(continue) the practice. “It has been fairly rewarding.” she says, “a really positive change.”【2021.06浙江卷】It doesnt impress like George Washingtons plantation on the Potomac, but Lincolns home in downt

Beautifully restored(修复) to its 1860 appearance, the house was Abraham and Mary Lincolns home for 17 years. In 1844 they bought it 57 $1,200 and some land from Charles Dresser, who performed their 58 (marry
10、) ceremony in 1842. When the house was built, it was much 59 (small) than it is today. Marys niece wrote, “The little home 60 (paint) white. It was sweet and fresh. Mary loved it. She was extremely pretty, and her house was a reflection of 61 (she), everything in good taste and in perfect order. Alt
11、hough Mary loved flowers, 62 she nor her husband was known as a gardener. A long-time neighbor said they never planted trees and only kept a garden for one year. Marys sister, Frances Todd Wallace, often came over 63 (plant) flowers in the front yard. 64 Lincolns enlarged the house to a full two sto

After Lincoln was elected President of the US in 1861, they rented the house and 65 (sell) most of their furniture. 【2021.01浙江卷】In a study of 33 years of trends in Body Mass Index(体重指数) across 200
13、countries, the scientists found that people worldwide are getting heavier _56_ that most of the rise is due to gains in BMI in rural areas. BMI is an internationally recognized measurement tool _57_ gives an indication of whether someone is a healthy weight. It is calculated by dividing a _58_(perso
14、n) weight in kg by their height in meters squared, and a BMI of between 19 and 25 _59_(consider) healthy. The study found that between 1985 and 2017, average rural BMI increased _60_ 2.1 in women and men. In cities, however, the gain _61_(be) 1.3 in women and 1.6 in men. The researchers described “s
15、triking changes” in the geography of BMI. In 1985, urban men and women in more than three quarters of the countries _62_(study) had higher BMIs than men and women in rural areas. But 30 years later, the BMI difference between urban and rural people in many countries had narrowed _63_(sharp). This ma

17、h agriculture. Over thousands of years, they began to depend less on 57 could be hunted or gathered from the wild, and more on animals they had raised and crops they had sown. Farming produced more food per person 58 hunting and gathering, so people were able to raise more children. And, as more chi
18、ldren were born, more food 59 (need). Agriculture gave people their first experience of the power of technology 60 (change) lives. By about 6000 BC, people 61 (discover) the best crops to grow and animals to raise. Later, they learned to work with the 62 (season), planting at the right time and, in
19、dry areas, 63 (make) use of annual floods to irrigate(灌溉) their fields. This style of farming lasted for quite a long time. Then, with 64 rise of science, changes began. New methods 65 (mean) that fewer people worked in farming. In the last century or so, these changes have accelerated. New power ma

The median(中位数的) age of an American in 1950 _56_(be) 30 - today it is 41 and is expected _57_(increase)
21、 to 42 by 2050. For Japan, the _58_(number) are more striking - 22 in 1950, 46 today and 53 in 2050. In 2015, one in 12 people around the world were over 65; by 2050, it will be one in six.This aging of the population is driven _59_ two factors. The first is declining birthrates, which means old gen
22、erations are large _60_(compare) to younger generations, and so, on average, the population becomes _61_(old) than before. This is _62_(particular) true in the US. The second reason is that people are living longer. A child born in the US today has _63_ very realistic chance of living beyond 100 and
23、 needs to plan accordingly.People tend to focus on the first factor. However, greater attention should _64_(place) on longevity(长寿). It isnt just that people are, on average, living longer. Its also that they are on average healthier _65_ more productive for longer. Therefore, they can work for long

The students feel that they belong to a particular group. When every pupil in the school wears the uniform, nobody _56_ (h
25、ave) to worry about fashion(时尚). Everybody wears _57_ same style of clothes. Uniforms can be useful in unexpected ways. A school in Ireland has introduced an interesting new uniform. On the edge of the jacket, there is a piece of cloth _58_ gives off light in the dark. When the children are walking
26、or _59_(cycle) to school on dark mornings, car drivers can _60_(easy) see them.But can uniforms help improve school standards? The answer _61_ this question is not clear. One study in America found that students grades _62_(improve) a little after the school introduced uniforms. But some students di
27、dnt want _63_(wear) the uniform. Other American studies showed no _64_(connect) between uniforms and school performance.School uniforms are _65_ (tradition) in Britain, but some schools are starting to get rid of them. Some very good schools dont have a uniform policy. However, uniforms are still po
28、pular. Pupils at about 90 percent of British secondary schools wear uniforms.【2018浙江】Few people I know seem to have much desire or time to cook. Making Chinese _56_(dish) is seen as especially troublesome. Many westerners _57_ come to China cook much less than in their own countries once they realiz

I still remember _59_(visit) a friend whod lived here for five years and I _60_(shock) when I learnt she hadnt cooked once in all that time.While regularly eating out seems to _61_(become) common for many young people in recent years, its not without a cost. The o
30、bvious one is money; eating out once or twice a week may be _62_(afford) but doing this most days adds up. There could be an even _63_(high) cost on your health. Researchers have found that there is a direct link between the increase in food eaten outside the home and the rise in _64_(weigh) problem
31、s.If you are not going to suffer this problem, then I suggest that the next time you go to your mums home _65_ dinner, get a few cooking tips from her. Cooking food can be fun. You might also begin to notice the effects not only on your health but in your pocket.【2017浙江】Last October, while tending h
