History of an Olympic ParkBFree Haircuts on a Red ChairLast summer, Katie Steller was on her way to work. She stopped at a traffic light, where a man, in his 60s, looking out of luck, was sitting a
18、lone. She rolled down her window.“Hey!” she shouted. “ Im driving around giving free haircuts. Do you want one right now?”The man, missing a few teeth, paused and laughed. “Actually,” he said, “I have a funeral (葬礼) to go to this week. I was really hoping to get a haircut.”Then, Steller unloaded a r
19、ed chair from the car. The man, named Edward, took a seat. As Steller was cutting his curly graying hair, he told her about growing up in Mississippi, about moving to Minnesota, and how he still talked to his mom over phone every day.To date, Steller has given 30 or so such haircuts to people around
20、 the city. They are all living on the margins, and she is aware of the power of her work.“Its more than a haircut,” she says. “I want it to be a gateway, to show value and respect, but also to get to know people.”Steller knows that a haircut can change a life. One changed hers: As a teen, she suffer
21、ed from ulcerative colitis (溃疡性结肠炎) that was so serious, her hair thinned severely. Seeing this, her mother arranged for Stellers first professional haircut.“To sit down and have somebody look at me and talk to me like a person and not just an illness, it helped me feel cared about and less alone,”
22、she says.After that, Steller knew she wanted to have her own hair salon so she could help people feel the way shed felt that day. Not long after finishing cosmetology school (美容学校) in 2016, she realized her dream. Two years later, she began what she now calls her Red Chair Project, reaching out to p
23、eople on the streets.Steller said, “I cant fix their problems, but maybe I can help them feel less alone for a moment.” Steller listens to peoples stories of loss, addiction, and struggle to get back on their feet.An offshoot of the Red Chair Project is the Steller Kindness Project, in which people
24、who commit acts of kindness are invited for a free makeover (美容) at Stellers salon. In exchange, they tell their stories, which Steller shares on her website. Her hope is that by reading about kind acts, others will be inspired to do their own.So far, its working. “You have no idea what people are g
25、oing to do with the kindness that you give to them,” says Steller.4. Edward agreed to have a haircut by Steller because_.A. he wanted to talk with Steller about his lifeB. he wanted to look good for a special occasionC. he was too old to go to a hair salon by himselfD. he was just waiting for a free

In paragraph 5, the underlined words “living on the margins” can probably be replaced by _.A. living with little care and attentionB. living far from downtown areasC. living with serious illnessesD. living in untidy conditions6.

To make contributions to charity.B. To encourage people to spread kindness.C. To reward kind people with
28、free makeovers.D. To collect moving stories for Stellers website.CGENETIC testing cannot tell teachers anything useful about an individual pupils educational achievement. That is the conclusion of a study that looked at how well so-called polygenic scores for education predict a persons educational
29、achievements, based on a long-term study of thousands of people in the UK. “Some people with a very low genetic score are very high performers at age 16. Some are even in the top 3 percent,” says Tim Morris at the University of Bristol, UK.And while Morris expects the accuracy of polygenic scores fo
30、r educational achievements to improve, he doesnt think they will ever be good enough to predict how well an individual will do. Even relatively simple qualities such as height are influenced by thousands of genetic variants, each of which may only have a tiny effect. It has been claimed that polygen
31、ic scores can be used to make useful predictions, such as a persons likelihood of developing various diseases. One company is even offering embryo screening (screening of an unborn baby in the very stages of development) based on polygenic scores for disease risk.Some researchersnotably Robert Plomi
32、n of Kings College Londonthink that schools should start using polygenic scores for educational achievement. In most cases, the scores may reflect qualities such as persistence as well as intelligence.To assess the usefulness of polygenic scores in education, Morris and his colleagues calculated the
33、m for 8,000 people in Bristol who are part of a long-term study known as the Children of the 90s. The participants genomes have been queued and their academic results are available to researchers. Among other things, the team found a correlation of 0.4 between a persons polygenic score and their exa
34、m results at age 16. But there would need to be a correlation of at least 0.8 to make useful predictions about individuals, says Morris.Plomin, however, argues that the results support his opinion. “A correlation of 0.4 makes it the strongest polygenic predictor in the behavioural sciences,” says Pl
35、omin. “Its so much stronger than a lot of other things we base decisions on. So its a very big finding.”Morris says schools already have access to other predictors that are more accurate, such as a pupils earlier test results. Looking at parents educational achievements is also a better predictor of
36、 a pupils academic results than studying their genome, his results show. Providing teachers with an extra predictor based on genetics would just confuse matters, says Morris, and the cost cannot be justified.8. In paragraph 2, Morris talks about “height” in order to tell readers that _.A. some quali
37、ties are hardly affected by any genetic variantsB. some qualities are influenced by thousands of genetic variantsC. genetic scores are useful in predicting ones potential diseasesD. genetic scores can help children improve their scores at school9. How did Morris prove the effect of polygenetic score
38、s in education?A. By providing opposite examples. B. By explaining how the genome works.C. By listing findings from another scientist. D. By presenting facts and data from research.10. According to Plomin, a correlation of 0.4 is reliable because it is _.A. useful in telling you how intelligent and
39、persistent children areB. useful in predicting people who might struggle academicallyC. stronger compared to other factors in behavioural sciencesD. strongly correlated to childrens academic achievements11. Morris suggested that schools should _.A. study every pupils genomesB. spend some money on ge
40、netic testsC. know about parents educational achievementsD. provide teachers with students genetic informationDMany college students turn to ADHD(注意缺陷障碍)medicine during the exam week, which is regarded as “smart drugs” that will help their academic(学术的)performance. The thinking is that if the drugs
41、help students with ADHD improve their focus, they should provide the same benefit for people who dont have the disorder.But a new study shows that drugs can actually damage brain function of healthy students who take the drug hoping to boost their intelligence. “Its not a smart drug which will sudde
42、nly improve their ability to understand information they read,” said Lisa Weyandt, a professor at the University of Rhode Island.To test whether this effect is real or not, researchers organized 13 students to take part in two five-hour study sessions(一段时间)in the lab. The students took the standard
43、30mg ADHD drugs before one session, and a sugar pill before the other. Students on ADHD drugs did experience an increase in their blood pressure and heart rates. “The medicine was having an effect on their brain,” Weyandt said. The students also showed an improvement in their ability to focus, the r
44、esearchers found.However, students on ADHD drugs experienced no improvement in reading comprehension, reading fluency or knowledge reviews, compared to when theyd taken a sugar pill. “We read aloud stories to them and asked them to recall information from the stories, ”she said. “That didnt improve.
45、”Worse, the ADHD drug actually harms students memory. Its often misused because people pull all-nighters and theyre tired, and they think its going to keep them awake. Maybe it does, but its certainly not going to help their academic work. The brain is still developing until the mid to late 20s. Its
46、 important to keep it healthy. Theres also a chance that ADHD drugs could endanger a students heart health.27. Why do some college students take ADHD drugs?A. To improve their sleeping. B. To get higher marks.C. To make them feel relaxed. D. To treat brain disorder.28.Which of the following is close
47、st in meaning to the word “boost” in Paragragh 2?A. Analyze. B. Affect. C. Improve. D. Understand.29.What effect did ADHD drugs have on the students in the experiment?A. They became more focused.B. Their blood pressure was reduced.C. Their reading fluency was greatly raised.D. They could remember be

A sports and leisure centre.(一个运动和休闲中心)符合以上说法,故选A项。B篇 47 BACB这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Katie Steller走上街头为人们免费理发,让他们感觉没有那么孤独。4. B 细节理解题。根据第三段中“I have a funeral (葬礼) to go to this week. I was really hoping to get a haircu
92、t. (我这周要去参加一个葬礼。我真的希望理一次发。)”可知,Edward答应Steller提供的免费理发,是因为他想让自己在一个特殊的场合看起来好一点儿。故选B项。5. A 词义猜测题。根据第一段对Edward的描述“was sitting alone”及下一段中Steller说的话“I want it to be a gateway, to show value and respect (我想让它成为一个通向展示价值和尊重的入口)”可知,Steller是为那些缺少关爱和尊重的人免费理发,所以短语“living on the margins”意为“缺乏关爱和关注地生活”。故选A项。6. C
93、推理判断题。根据文章内容可知,Steller得了溃疡性结肠炎后,头发稀少,所以妈妈给她安排了一次专业的理发,那次理发经历让她感觉到被关爱,不那么孤独了,再结合倒数第四段“After that, Steller knew she wanted to have her own hair salon so she could help people feel the way shed felt that day. (从那之后,Steller知道她想拥有自己的理发店,这样就可以帮助人们感觉到她那天感受到的关爱。)”可知,是Steller自己的一次正式理发经历让她想开自己的理发店。故选C项。7. B 细
94、节理解题。根据倒数第二段最后一句“Her hope is that by reading about kind acts, others will be inspired to do their own. (她的希望是通过读善良的行为,别人也会被鼓励做善事。)”可知,Steller Kindness Project的目的是鼓励人们传播善意。故选B项。C篇 811 BDCC这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项对英国数千人进行的长期研究,考察了所谓的多基因教育分数如何预测一个人的教育成就。研究发现基因测试不能告诉老师任何有关一个学生教育成就的有用信息。研究人员希望提高多基因分数对教育成就的准确性,但
95、这些分数永远不足以预测一个人的表现。文章主要说明了研究过程,以及人们对研究结论的看法。8. B 推理判断题。根据第二段中“And while Morris expects the accuracy of polygenic scores for educational achievements to improve, he doesnt think they will ever be good enough to predict how well an individual will do. Even relatively simple qualities such as height are
96、 influenced by thousands of genetic variants, each of which may only have a tiny effect.(尽管Morris希望提高多基因分数对教育成就的准确性,但他认为这些分数永远不足以预测一个人的表现。即使是像身高这样相对简单的品质也会受到成千上万种基因变异的影响,每一种变异的影响都很小。)”可推知,在第2段中,Morris谈到“身高”是为了告诉读者一些品质是受成千上万的遗传变异影响的。故选B。9. D 推理判断题。根据第四段“To assess the usefulness of polygenic scores in
97、 education, Morris and his colleagues calculated them for 8,000 people in Bristol who are part of a long-term study known as the Children of the 90s. The participants genomes have been queued and their academic results are available to researchers. Among other things, the team found a correlation of
98、 0.4 between a persons polygenic score and their exam results at age 16. But there would need to be a correlation of at least 0.8 to make useful predictions about individuals, says Morris.(为了评估多基因分数在教育中的作用,Morris和他的同事对布里斯托尔的8000人进行了计算,这些人是一项名为“90年代的孩子”的长期研究的一部分。参与者的基因组已经排列好,他们的学术成果可供研究人员使用。除此之外,研究小组
99、发现,一个人的多基因分数与他们16岁时的考试成绩之间的相关性为0.4。但Morris说,相关性至少要达到0.8才能对个体做出有用的预测。)”可以判断出,Morris是通过展示研究的事实和数据,来证明多基因分数对教育的影响的。故选D。10. C 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“A correlation of 0.4 makes it the strongest polygenic predictor in the behavioural sciences,” says Plomin. “Its so much stronger than a lot of other things we base
100、 decisions on. So its a very big finding. (0.4的相关性使其成为行为科学中最强的多基因预测因子,”Plomin说。“它比我们赖以做决定的其他很多东西都强大得多。所以这是一个很大的发现。”)”可知,0.4的相关性是可靠的,因为它比行为科学中的其他因素更强。故选C。11. C 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Looking at parents educational achievements is also a better predictor of a pupils academic results than studying their genome,
101、 his results show. Providing teachers with an extra predictor based on genetics would just confuse matters, says Morris, and the cost cannot be justified. (他的研究结果显示,与研究学生的基因组相比,观察父母的教育成就也是预测学生学业成绩的更好手段。Morris说,为教师提供一个基于遗传学的额外预测器只会使事情变得混乱,而且花费也不合理。)”可知,Morris建议学校应该了解父母的教育成就。故选C。D篇 1215 BCAD第二节 1620 C
102、GAFD这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了法国大学将要提供更多英语授课课程来招收留学生。16. C 空处与空前一句为递进关系,继续说法国好的一面,进一步说明法国受留学生的欢迎,且与空后一句形成转折关系。故选C。17. G 第三段承接第二段,介绍到法国留学的学生的现状。G项中的“fell by 8.5 percent”与该空后的“increased competition”相照应。故选G。18. A 空前一句讲新计划将便于学生签证申请,故所填句应进一步论述如何提供方便。A项中的“Student visa applications also”与该空前的“student visa requirements”
103、相照应。故选A。19. F 根据本段中的“Beginning in September 2019,non-European students will pay 2,770 euros a year for a bachelors degree and 3,770 euros for graduate degrees.”可知,法国要提高欧洲经济区以外的留学生的费用。故选F。20. D 空前讲述了法国打算将欧洲经济区以外的留学生的学费提高至学士一年2770欧元,硕士一年3770欧元。D项中的That指的就是这一情况。故选D。第二部分 语言运用第一节2125 BCACB 2630 BDDAC 313
