The order is the countrys highest honor for outstanding figures that have made great contributions to the construction and th
17、e development of the PR.C.Tu Youyou, born in 1930, has become the first Chinese woman to win a Nobel Prize, for her work in helping to create an antimalarial medicine. The 84yearolds route to the honor has been anything but traditional. In China, she is being called the “three nos” winner: no medica
18、l degree, no doctorate, and shes never worked overseas. In 1967, malaria, a then deadly disease, spread by mosquitoes was decimating Chinese soldiers fighting Americans in the jungles of northern Vietnam. A secret research unit “Mission 523” was formed to find a cure for the illness. Two years later
19、, Tu Youyou was instructed to become the new head of “Mission 523”“Mission 523” read ancient books carefully for a long time to find historical methods of fighting malaria. When she started her search for an antimalarial drug, more than 240,000 compounds (化合物) around the world had already been teste
20、d, without any success. Finally, the team found a brief reference to one substance, sweet wormwood (青蒿), which had been used to treat malaria in China around 400 A. D. The team took out one active compound in wormwood, and then tested it. But nothing was effective until Tu Youyou returned to the ori
21、ginal ancient text. After another careful reading, she changed the drug recipe one final time, heating the compound without allowing it to reach boiling point.After the drug showed promising results in mice and monkeys, Tu Youyou volunteered to be the first human recipient of the new drug. “In any c

23、s, describes her as a “tough and stubborn woman”. Stubborn enough to spend decades piecing together ancient texts, she applied them to modern scientific practices.

26、tough. DSociable and generous.CWeve all had the experience of wanting to get a project done but putting it off to a later date. So why do we delay things? Are we built to operate this way at some times?These questions are central to my research on goal pursuit (追求). It all starts with a simple choic
27、e between working now on a given project and doing anything else. The decision to work on something is driven by how much we value accomplishing the project in that momentwhat psychologists call its subjective value. And delay, in psychological terms, is what happens when the value of doing somethin
28、g else outweighs the value of working now.This way of thinking suggests a simple trick to defeat delay. For example, instead of cleaning my house, I might try to focus on why grading papers is personally important to me. Its simple advice, but sticking to this strategy (策略) can be quite difficult.Pe

For example, a dollar bill is worth exactly the same today as it is a week from now, but its subjective valueroughly how good it would feel to own a dollardepends on other factors besides its face value, such as when we receive it. The tendenc
30、y for people to devalue money and other goods based on time is called delay discounting. For example, receiving $100 three months from now is worth the same to people as receiving $83 right now. People would rather lose $17 than wait a few months to get a larger reward.Getting something done is a de
31、layed reward, so its value in the present is reduced: the further away the deadline is, the less attractive it seems to work on the project right now. The tendency to delay things closely follows economic models of delay discounting. One way to manage it is to make the finish line seem closer. For e

As around 85%90% of people are righthanded, passing on the righthand side would leave drivers more open to attack from people coming the other way. Ever

37、 to drive on the left, and that was that. The Highway Act of 1835 made it the law of the land.However, things were slightly different elsewhere. Russian government, for example, had already noticed that their people tended to favour the right side, so their first acts on the topic were that they con
38、tinued to do so. The French were also on the left, but when Napoleon took over the army, he ordered them to stay on the righthand side, too. Some people said this was also because he was lefthanded.Everyone else kept left, but with increasing traffic on the roads in Europe, this began to cause troub

In a recent study, 22% of kids in primary school reported having their own cell phone compared with 60% of tweens and 84% of teens. Like many parents, you may wonder whethe
60、r your child is ready for a cell phone. As you might imagine, there are different attitudes towards it.Many parents consider safety as the main reason for giving their child a cell phone. They want to be able to reach their child whenever they need to. They also want to give their child the security
61、 of being able to reach them whenever he needs to. “This is especially true if your child is home alone after school or walks home alone，” says Barbara Greenberg, PhD, a clinical psychologist in Fairfield Country, CT.However, if your child has a cell phone, he has access to websites that may be inap

77、22答案与解析：A考查细节理解。根据第二段可知，Captiva Island，Florida是四天的行程，第三段的Reykjavk，Iceland是八天的行程，第四段的Malpais, Costa Rica是一周，第五段的Waterville Valley, New Hampshire是六天的行程，因此选A。23答案与解析：D考查写作目的。根据第一段中的“Heres where to go for a good time at an unbelievable value”可知，作者在文章中给读者推荐值得度假的地方，故选D。B【语篇解读】本文是一篇人物传记，介绍了著名科学家屠呦呦。24答案与解析
78、：C细节理解题。根据第二段中的The 84yearolds route to the honor has been anything but traditional.可知屠呦呦的成功之路根本不是传统的那样。anything but根本不。故选C。25答案与解析：B词义猜测题。根据第二段中的In 1967, malaria, a then deadly disease, spread by mosquitoes was decimating Chinese soldiers fighting Americans in the jungles of northern Vietnam.可知1967年
79、，疟疾是当时一种致命的疾病，通过蚊子传播，导致大批正在越南抗击美国人的中国士兵死亡。故decimating的意思是killing。26答案与解析：D细节理解题。根据第三段中的more than 240,000 compounds (化合物) around the world had already been tested, without any success.可知D为正确选项。27答案与解析：A推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的volunteered to be the first human recipient of the new drug.可知屠呦呦对自己的事业很挚爱。再根据最后一段中的
80、Stubborn enough to spend decades piecing together ancient texts，she applied them to modern scientific practices.可知她非常固执。故选A。C【语篇解读】本文是一篇议论文，作者在文中主要分析了拖延的原因以及应对办法。28答案与解析：B词义猜测题。根据本段内容可知，要去做某件事的决定是被我们在那一刻完成计划的评估驱动的心理学家称其为某件事的“主观价值”。而拖延从心理学的角度讲，就是当做别的事情的价值大于即刻就工作的价值时发生的情况，故选B。29答案与解析：C推理判断题。根据第二段第三、四句
81、“The decision to work on something is driven by how much we value accomplishing the project in that momentwhat psychologists call its subjective value. And delay, in psychological terms, is what happens when the value of doing something else outweighs the value of working now.”可知，作者认为人们之所以会拖延是因为他们对完
82、成当前工作任务的主观价值评估较低；再结合第三段的内容可推知，人们可以通过提高对自己完成当前工作任务的主观价值评估来克服拖延，故选C。30答案与解析：B推理判断题。根据第四段的内容，尤其是“The tendency. receiving $100 three months from now is worth the same to people as receiving $83 right now. People would rather lose $17 than wait a few months to get a larger reward.”可知，人们更看重眼前利益，故B项“A bird
83、 in the hand is worth two in the bush.(一鸟在手胜过双鸟在林)”符合题干要求。31答案与解析：D细节理解题。根据最后一段的内容，尤其是最后两句“One way to manage it is to make the finish line seem closer. For example, vividly imagining a future reward reduces delay discounting.”可知，作者认为应对拖延的一种方式就是让终点线看上去更近。比如说，生动地想象未来的奖赏会减少延迟折扣。故选D。D【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述
84、了靠左行驶习惯的形成原因及发展变化等。32答案与解析：B细节理解题。根据第一段可知，靠左行驶的习惯可追溯至人们佩带刀剑出行的时代。由于85%90%的人都习惯使用右手，每个人都得随时准备面对突如其来的袭击，靠左行驶能在关键时刻给对手漂亮的反击，由此可判断出B项正确。33答案与解析：A细节理解题。根据第二段可知，1773年英国政府颁布普通公路法，鼓励骑马者、马车夫和去集市贩卖蔬菜的人靠左行驶。随后在1835年的公路法中，靠左行驶就成了这片土地上的法律规定，由此可知A项正确。34答案与解析：D细节理解题。根据第三段可知，俄罗斯政府已经意识到他们的人民更倾向于靠右行驶，所以相关交通法案就是继续靠右行驶
85、，由此可知，D项正确。35答案与解析：A词义猜测题。根据上下文可知，其他人继续靠左行驶，但在欧洲，随着路上交通工具的增加，靠左行驶开始产生困扰，所以在接下来的大约几百年里，欧洲国家也慢慢转为靠右行驶，故A项正确。第二节【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了可以帮助你减肥的五件小事。36答案与解析：E空前说你可以通过每天做一些小事来减肥，感觉更健康，看起来更迷人，此处承接上文，讲的是小事也能够有大影响，故E项(许多微小的改变都会产生显著的影响)符合语境。37答案与解析：A根据本段内容可知，餐盘的直径会对你吃多少食物产生巨大的影响，你的餐盘越大，装的东西就越多，你吃的也就越多，因此要用小一些的餐盘，
86、故A项(用小一点的盘子)符合语境。38答案与解析：G空前说坐在办公桌前或沙发上吃一整袋薯片或一整包饼干是如此容易，下一段又说如果你用食物日记或应用程序记录你吃了什么，吃了多少以及你吃的东西中含有多少卡路里，你可能更倾向于控制你的食物摄入量，因此此处讲的内容是关于一整袋薯片或一整包饼干中的卡路里含量的，故G项(然而，如果你知道其中含有多少卡路里，你可能会改变主意)符合语境。39答案与解析：D空后说你的身体需要的水可能比你喝的要多，你可能完全误解了这些迹象，因此此处是说口渴的时候我们会以为自己是饿了，故D项(我们常常把口渴误认为饥饿)符合语境。40答案与解析：F空后说例如，把车停在离杂货店远一点的
87、地方，走台阶而不是坐电梯，在你最喜欢的电视广告时段原地慢跑，这是对空处的举例证明，证明锻炼也可以是有趣的，故F项(锻炼不一定是你迫不得已才去做的事情，它可以是有趣的)符合语境。第三部分第一节【语篇解读】这是一篇夹叙夹议的文章。作者讲述了自己克服沟通障碍，独自去其他国家旅行，实现了自己的梦想的经历。41答案与解析：B根据下文的I was completely _52_ from the pressure of my work可知，此处是指作者处于许多压力之下。故选B项。42答案与解析：A根据下文中Therefore, the idea of a twoweek European _43_ alo

92、语从句。空处引导非限制性定语从句，句中缺少主语，且先行词为Gratitude，指物，故用which。59答案与解析：but考查连词。根据“just need several minutes to write down”和“it brings much joy”可知前后是转折关系，故用but。60答案与解析：to offer考查动词不定式。父母努力工作的目的是给你幸福的生活，因此此处应用不定式作目的状语。61答案与解析：sadness考查词形转换。此处and连接两个名词，根据your happiness可知，空处应填sad的名词形式。62答案与解析：it考查代词。分析句子结构可知，sure后是宾
