Ever wondered how many calories are in the human body? Or ever wondered why old people have 【1】 (big) ears than they used to? The winners of Ig Nobel Prizes (搞笑诺贝尔奖) have got the answers.

He Ig Nobel Prizes, founded in 1991, are to honor achievements 【2】 first make people laugh, and then make them think, The ceremony 【3】 ( take) place at Harvard University every year. Winners’ acceptance 【4】(speech) are limited to 60 seconds, 【5】 (strict) policed by an eight-year-old girl.

The honored research might seem ridiculous 【6】 first sight, but that doesn’t mean it lacks scientific value. For example, the research in 2006 on why dry spaghetti tends to break into more than two pieces was important 【7】 (discover) failure in bridge spans (跨度) or human bones And a follow-up paper 【8】 (publish) by MIT physicists several years later. But people are more likely to read about 【9】 (break) spaghetti than to read an academic paper. Even when there is no immediate usefulness, 【10】 is still good to encourage people to observe and think.

【答案】

【1】bigger

【2】that/ which

【3】takes

【4】speeches

【5】strictly

【6】at

【7】to discover

【8】was published

【9】breaking

【10】it

【解析】

这是一篇说明文。搞笑诺贝尔奖听起来似乎很搞笑，但是这并不意味着它缺乏科学价值。

【1】考查形容词的比较级。句意：或者想知道为什么老年人的耳朵比以前大? 根据句意和than可知这里要用形容词的比较级，故填bigger。

【2】考查限定性定语从句。分析可知空格处引导限定性定语从句，先行词为achievements，指物。空格处在句中做主语所以要用that或者which引导这个定语从句，故填that/which。

【3】考查主谓一致和时态。分析可知take在句中做谓语。这里介绍的是一般事实，要用一般现在时。主语the ceremony为单数，谓语动词也要用单数，故填takes。

【4】考查名词单复数。speech为可数名词，根据后面的are判断这里要用其复数形式，故填speeches。

【5】考查副词。空格处修饰动词police要用副词，故填strictly。

【6】考查介词。句意：乍一看，这项久享盛名的研究似乎很荒谬，但这并不意味着它缺乏科学价值。at first sight为固定搭配，意为“乍一看；一看到…就”，故填介词at。

【7】考查不定式。这里使用了sth/sb+be+adj+to do的结构，故填to discover。

【8】考查语态和时态。本句的事情已经发生，事情发生在过去要用一般过去时。谓语动词publish和主语a follow-up paper是被动关系，要用被动语态。a follow-up paper是单数，谓语动词也要用单数。故填was published。

【9】考查动名词作宾语。about为介词，后面的动词要用动名词形式，故填breaking。

【10】考查it做形式主语。句意：即使没有立竿见影的效果，鼓励人们去观察和思考也是好的。根据句意，分析可知在主句中，to encourage people to observe and think是真正的主语，要用it做形式主语，故填it。

选择关系词要考虑以下几点：

(1) 一看先行词的意义，即分清先行词是指人、指物、时间、地点还是原因(如指物时不能用who或whom，指人时通常不用which等)。

(2) 二看关系词的句法功能，即分清关系词是担任什么句子成分，是作主语还是宾语、是作定语还是状语等(如作定语通常用whose，有时也用which；作状语要用when, where, why等关系副词。

(3) 三看定语从句的种类，即分清是限制性定语从句还是非限制性定语从句(如that和why通常不引导非限制性定语从句)。

本文第2小题，分析可知空格处引导限定性定语从句，先行词为achievements，指物。空格处在句中做主语，根据语法规则要用that或者which引导这个定语从句，故填that/which。

【题目】Are you preparing for a big test? If so, you may want to go to play some basketball in between hitting the books. Doctors are starting to find more and more information that suggests a connection between exercise and brain development. Judy Cameron, a scientist at Oregon Health and Science University, studies brain development. According to her research, it seems that exercise can make blood vessels, including those in the brain, stronger and more fully developed. Dr. Cameron is sure that this allows people who exercise to think better. As she says, “While we already know that exercise is good for the heart, exercise can actually cause physical changes in the brain.”

The effects of exercise on brain development can even be seen in babies. Babies who do activities that require a lot of movement show greater brain development than babies who are less physically active. Even a little movement can show big results. Margaret Barnes, a scientist, also believes in the importance of exercise. She thinks that many learning disabilities that children have in primary school or high school can result from a lack of movement as babies. Babies need movement that encourages and excites their five senses. They need to set up a connection between motion and memory. In this way, as they get older, children will begin to connect physical activity with higher learning,” says Margaret.

Older people can develop their brains as well. Cornell University studied a group of seniors who have a short-term memory increase of up to 40 percent after exercising just three hours a week. The exercise does not have to be very difficult, but it does have to increase the heart rate. Also, just like the motion for babies, exercise for older people should not be too simple. Learning some new skills or actions, such as with yoga or tai-chi helps to open up memory paths in the brain that may not have been used for a long time. For most people, any type of physical activity that increases the heart rate is helpful. The main aim is to increase the brain’s flow of blood. And your brain can benefit from as little as two to three hours of exercise a week.

【1】What is the main idea of this passage?

A. Exercise makes people strong.

B. How one can get good scores in a test.

C. Exercise can help the brain develop.

D. Brain can change one’s memory.

【2】Why is yoga suggested for the old?

A. Because it does good to the joints of old people.

B. Because it does not increase the heart rate.

C. Because it can help learn new actions.

D. Because it can be done in groups.

【3】For most people, the smallest amount of exercise required to gain any benefit is _____.

A. two hours per week B. 40 hours per week

C. three hours per day D. 40 hours per month

On May 28th, we observe World Hunger Day. It is an effort to focus attention on 【1】fact that despite there being enough food globally, some 21,000 people die every day from hunger.

People do not go hungry because the world does not produce enough food for everyone. According to the world Hunger Education Service, recently the percentage of people 【2】cannot get enough food chronically（长期地）has reduced from 34% to 15%. The main problem is that many people in the world still do not have resources【3】 (purchase) or grow enough food.

Indeed, hunger【4】 (be) a result of poverty, and also one of its causes. Hunger exists because many countries lack social safety nets; because in many countries women, although they do most of the farming, do not have as much access 【5】 men to training or land.

【题目】Have you ever run into a careless cell phone user on the street? Perhaps they were busy talking, texting or checking updates on WeChat without looking at what was going on around them. As the number of this new “species” of human has kept rising, they have been given a new name — phubbers（低头族）.

Recently, a cartoon created by students from China Central Academy of Fine Arts put this group of people under the spotlight. In the short film, phubbers with various social identities bury themselves in their phones. A doctor plays with his cell phone while letting his patient die, a pretty woman takes selfie（自拍照）in front of a car accident site, and a father loses his child without knowing about it while using his mobile phone. A chain of similar events eventually leads to the destruction of the world.

Although the ending sounds overstated, the damage phubbing can bring is real. Your health is the first to bear the effect and result of it. “Constantly bending your head to check your cell phone could damage your neck,” Guangming Daily quoted doctors as saying. “the neck is like a rope that breaks after long-term stretching.” Also, staring at cell phones for long periods of time will damage your eyesight gradually, according to the report.

But that’s not all. Being a phubber could also damage your social skills and drive you away from your friends and family. At reunions with family or friends, many people tend to stick to their cell phones while others are chatting happily with each other and this creates a strange atmosphere, Qilu Evening News reported.

It can also cost you your life. There have been lots of reports on phubbers who fell to their death, suffered accidents, and were robbed of their cell phones in broad daylight.

【1】For what purpose does the author give the example of a cartoon in Paragragh2?

A. To inform people of the bad effects of phubbing.

B. To advertise the cartoon made by students.

C. To indicate the world will finally be destroyed by phubbers.

D. To warn doctors against using cell phones while treating patients.

【2】Which of the following is NOT a risk a phubber may have?

A. His social skills could be affected.

B. His neck and eyesight will be gradually harmed.

C. He will cause the destruction of the world.

D. He might get separated from his friends and family.

【3】Which of the following may be the author’s attitude towards phubbing?

A. Supportive. B. Opposed.

C. Optimistic. D. Objective.

【4】What may the passage talk about next?

A. Advice on how to use a cell phone.

B. People who are addicted to phubbing.

C. The possible consequences of phubbing.

D. Measures to reduce the risks of phubbing.
