题目内容

【题目】阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。

Long ago, there lived in Greece a 【1】 (learn) man. He was 【2】 well-known for his knowledge of almost everything that lots of people from all over the country came to learn from him. The great man taught his students whole-heartedly and answered their questions with great 【3】 (patient).

One day, a student asked him, “My dear teacher, didn’t you say you yourself have many more questions about things than we do? 【4】 I think we students have far more than you.”

With a smile on his face, the teacher 【5】 (draw) two circles, one as large as a big cake, the other smaller. Then he said, “Of course, I have learned much more. But 【6】 is wrong to think a teacher has fewer questions than his students. Now, look at these two circles. The inside of the bigger one is my knowledge of things, and the inside of the smaller one is 【7】 (you). Out of the circles is what is still unknown to us. Since mine is larger, I have 【8】 (use) the longer line to draw the bigger circle. That 【9】 (mean) I have more opportunities to face what is still unknown. And that’s why I myself have more questions than you do. The 【10】 (much) you learn, the more questions you have. You will never learn enough, you know.”

【答案】

【1】learned

【2】so

【3】patience

【4】But

【5】drew

【6】it

【7】yours

【8】to use

【9】means

【10】more

【解析】

试题分析：本文属于语言故事，通过古希腊的智者所说的话告诉我们：学无止境。

【1】learned 考查形容词。形容词learned博学的；过去分词转换的形容词通常修饰人或与人有关的事物。句意：很久之前，在希腊生活着一个博学的人。

【2】so 考查连词短语。连词短语so...that...如此...以至于...；so的后面要接形容词或副词。句意：他是如此的有名以至于世界各地很多人都来这里向他学习。

【3】patience 考查名词。名词patience耐心；在英语中形容词后面通常接名词。本句中形容词great修饰名词patience。

【4】But 考查连词。句意：亲爱的老师，你不是说你比我们学生有更多的问题吗？但是我认为我们学生的问题比你还要多。根据句意可知上下文之间为转折关系，所以使用表示转折关系的连词but。

【5】drew 考查时态。根据文章第一段long ago可知本文叙述的是过去发生的事情，所以使用一般过去时。

【6】 it 考查形容词主语。在英语中只有it可以充当形式主语和形式宾语。本句转换it是形式主语 ，真正的主语是后面的不定式短语to think a teacher has fewer questions than his students.

【7】yours 考查名词性物主代词。本句中yours= your knowledge of things。句意：大圆圈的内部是我的知识，小的圆圈内部是你的知识。

【8】to use 考查固定结构。短语have to do sth不得不做某事；句意：因为我的圆圈更大，所以我不得不用更长的线来画更大的圈。

【9】means 考查时态。本句是直接引语，直接引语中通常使用一般现在时。

【10】more 考查固定句式。句式：The +比较级...，the+比较级。意为“越...就越...”。句意：你学得越多，你的问题也就越多。

【题目】That woman carried a new blanket over her arm. Wordlessly, she gave it to me.

“Is it finished?” I asked.

She shook her head. “No. It is ready,” she replied. I handed her the money and took the blanket.

“It is beautiful, so skillfully woven,” I said to my mother. “But what did she mean when she said it was not finished? How can it be ready if it is not finished?”

“I will tell you later,” my mother said, “but first I will take you to the Navajo village.”

We went down to the village. A group of young men were making sand pictures. We walked through the whole village, watching the different things the people were doing.

It was not until that evening that my mother finally explained the Navajo woman’s words.

“Did you notice anything about the things the people were making?” My mother asked.

“What should I have noticed?” I looked at her and asked.

“Each thing the Navajo make has one small part that is not complete. The design in their sand pictures are often not perfectly done, for example---the line of a circle may not quite close. If you look carefully at your blanket, you will probably find a stitch(一针) missing.”

I took the blanket off, but it looked as perfect as any design could be. Then suddenly, I noticed that sure enough a stitch was missing!

“They believe that when anything is completed or finished, it means the end has come--- it will not be perfect until then. Then too, with a circle, they believe that they must leave a pathway for the bad spirits to run away and the good spirits to come in. So, often, they do not make the line close.

One in five people carry a “smart gene” variant(变体)linked to long lifespan,bigger forebrains and enhanced mental ability,researchers have found.

“We’ve known for a long time that people lose cognitive(认知) abilities as they age,but now we’re beginning to understand that factors like KLOTHO can give people a boost in aging.Genetic variation in KLOTHO could help us predict brain health and find ways to protect people from the diseases that happen to us as we grow old,like Alzheimer’s disease(老年痴呆症),” said senior author,Dena Dubal of University of California.

The KLOTHO gene affects a protein found in the kidneys and the brain that regulates many different body processes.About one in five people carry a single copy of the variant,known as KL-VS,which boosts levels of the protein and is associated with a longer lifespan and improved heart and kidney function.A small minority,3% of the population,has two copies,which is linked to a shorter lifespan.

In the new study scientists scanned the brains of 422 men and women aged 53 and over who were also tested for the KLOTHO gene.They found that participants with a single copy of the gene variant also had a larger brain region known as RDLPFC,which is especially likely to shrink with age.Loss of neurons in this area may be one reason why older people are sometimes easily distracted and find it difficult to do more than one task at the same time.

Researcher Dr Jennifer Yokoyama said,“The brain region enhanced by genetic variation in KLOTHO is vulnerable(脆弱的)in aging and some mental disease.In this case,bigger size means better function.It will be important to determine whether the structure increase associated with carrying one copy of KL-VS can offset the cognitive(认知的)shortage caused by disease.”

People who have one copy of a variant KL-VS tend to live longer and have lower chances of suffering a stroke(中风),whereas people who have two copies may live shorter lives and have a higher risk of stroke.

【1】What can we learn from the second paragraph?

A.People’s cognitive abilities do not decline if people have KLOTHO.

B.With the clear understanding of KLOTHO,Alzheimer’s disease can be cured now.

C.Genetic variation in KLOTHO could be helpful in treating mental disease in elderly people.

D.Genetic variation in KLOTHO could lead people to suffer from Alzheimer’s disease.

【2】If a person carries two copies of the gene variant,he/she may .

A.have better kidney function

B.have a shorter lifespan

C.have a higher level of the protein in his/her body

D.suffer from some cognitive disease

【3】The reason why older people’s attention is easily distracted may be that .

A.they have fewer neurons in the RDLPEC

B.their brain region is too large

C.they have two copies of the gene variant

D.they have more neurons in the RDLPEC

【4】What does the underlined word “offset” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?

A.Prevent. B.Balance.

C.Keep. D.Promote.

【题目】Some colors people see late at night could cause signs of the condition mental health experts call clinical depression(临床抑郁症). That was the finding of a study that builds on earlier study findings. They show that individuals who live or work in low levels of light overnight can develop clinical depression.

Doctors use the word clinical depression to describe severe form of depression. Signs may include loss of interest or pleasure in most activities, low energy levels and thoughts of death or suicide.

In the new study, American investigators designed an experiment that exposed hamsters（仓鼠）to different colors. The researchers chose hamsters because they are nocturnal, which means they sleep during the day and are active at night. The animals were separated into four groups. One group of hamsters was kept in the dark during their night-time period. Another group was placed in front of a blue light, a third group slept in front of a white light, while a fourth was put in front of a red light. After four weeks, the researchers noted how much sugary water the hamsters drank. They found that the most depressed animals drank the least amount of water.

Randy Nelson, at Ohio State University, says animals that slept in blue and white light appeared to be the most depressed. “What we saw is that these animals didn’t show any sleep interruptions at all but they did mess up biological clock (生物钟) genes and they did show depressive sign but if they were in the dim red light, they did not.” He says there’s a lot of blue in white light. This explains why the blue light and white light hamsters appear to be more depressed than the hamsters seeing red light or darkness.

【1】 From the text we know that ________ made the hamster feel depressed.

A. the amount of the water

B. the colour of the light

C. the loss of pleasure

D. the level of energy

【2】What was the purpose of the experiment on hamsters?

A. To show how well they slept.

B. To see how much sugary water they drank.

C. To explain why they liked dark colours.

D. To find out what caused the depression on them.

【3】 The author explains the clinical depression by _________.

A. reporting an experiment process

B. presenting research data

C. setting down general rules

D. giving his own experience

【4】Where can we probably find the text?

A. In a science magazine.

B. In a physics textbook

C. In a tourist guidebook.

D. In an official announcement.

Carrots are easy to raise and easy to harvest. They taste good. 【1】

When people think of carrots, they usually picture in their mind a vegetable that is long, thin and orange. 【2】 And not all carrots are orange. For example, Paris Market carrots are about five centimeters around. Rome carrots are thin and about twenty-five centimeters long. And Belgian White carrots are, as their name suggests, white.

For the best results, carrots should be grown in sandy soil that does not hold water for a long time. The soil also should have no rocks. To prepare your garden for carrots, dig up the soil, loosen it and turn it over. Then, mix in some plant material or animal fertilizer (肥料).

【3】 Experts say warm days, cool nights and a medium soil temperature are the best conditions for growing carrots that taste great.

Carrots need time to develop their full sugar content. This gives them their sweetness if you wait too long to pull them from the ground. 【4】 Usually, the brighter the color, the better the taste.

【5】 If the winter is not cold enough to freeze the ground, you can grow and harvest carrots the same way as during the summer months. If the ground does freeze, simply cover your carrot garden with a thick layer of leaves or straw. This will prevent the ground from freezing.

A. But carrots come in many different sizes and shapes.

B. They are economic crops.

C. The best time for planting carrotsspan> is during the winter months.

D. Weather, soil conditions and age will affect the way carrots taste.

E. The best way to judge if a carrot sis ready to be harvested is by its color.

F. And they contain a lot of carotene (胡萝卜素), which the body make into vitamin A.

G. Many people do not know that carrots can be grown during the winter months.

【题目】I am a sophomore (大二学生) at Princeton University, where I am majoring in chemical engineering. I chose to study at UCD in the spring of 2015 primarily because I have always been interested in Ireland and Irish culture, but also to take advantage of UCD’s courses in pharmacology (药理学), a field not offered at my home school. I also chose UCD because of its Introduction to Scientific Research module, which matches visiting students with professors for a term-long research project, and because of the Science office’s friendliness and helpfulness. I am convinced that I made the best possible decision!

While at UCD I lived on campus, which allowed me to throw myself into everything the university has to offer. I was given the opportunity to work with Geraldine Butler’s lab. I loved it so much that I ended up heading to the lab almost every weekday, whenever I wasn’t attending my always-interesting classes in pharmacology. After lab, I enjoyed a variety of after-school activities—that was certainly a new experience for me.

Living in Dublin provided a great opportunity for seeing the rest of Ireland and Europe. I spent my weekends and spring break traveling to every corner of the island, amazed at all of the history and natural beauty. I was also able to visit the UK, the Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark and Sweden. After every trip, it was nice to return to friendly Dublin and head out with my roommates to one of our favorite pubs.

I would highly recommend studying abroad at UCD. I learned so much from my courses and my research project and had a wonderful time exploring Ireland. I can’t wait to come back!

【1】 Where is the author when he is writing the passage?

A. At Princeton University. B. At UCD.

C. In the UK. D. In Sweden.

【2】Which is NOT the reason why the author chose UCD ?

A. He was attracted by Ireland and Irish culture.

B. There was a chance for him to change his major.

C. It offered visiting students a guided research project.

D. The staff in the Science office were friendly and helpful.

【3】 What does the author feel at the moment?

A. Excited. B. Upset.

C. Worried. D. Tired.

【4】What probably can be the best title of the passage?

A. A Scientific Project. B. Colorful School Life.

C. Live on Campus. D. Study Abroad at UCD.
