题目内容

【题目】 When I was a child growing up in Ohio, the butterflies would sometimes pass through on their way to Mexico. And it was awesome to see football fields full of them — and I wanted to revisit that on a larger scale. I knew I had to go to see the migration in Mexico.

But I was on a budget. I didn’t want to rent a car in Mexico or take a bus to Valle de Bravo, the starting point for most butterfly adventures, so I called the guys at the Muddy Boot, travel experts in Mexico who can make almost anything happen at a reasonable rate.

And so, on January 2, I found myself in the Muddy Boot van (货车), being driven two hours from Mexico City to Valle de Bravo, a lovely town on a volcanic lake which is a central point for the butterfly journeys. I booked a two-night stay at the Hotel Rodavento, an all eco-friendly hotel with individual wooden houses spread throughout the forest and around a lake.

The first sanctuary (保护区) I visited was Piedra Herrada, a popular destination, as it is only 40 minutes away from Valle de Bravo. The climb up is tiring. It is advisable to hire a horse. But the horse cannot take you all the way, and there is some hiking in thin air, so you must be patient, drink a lot of water, and be in reasonably good shape.

The walk is more than worth it, though. As I struggled to catch my breath, I looked up and lost my breath again. At first glance, the trees had turned into different shapes, but on closer inspection, every inch of them was covered with butterflies.

A few flew through the air (Most of them were not warm enough). As the sun rose, they began to come alive. Soon the air was filled with flying butterflies, transforming the forest into something magical and straight out of a fairy tale.

【1】Why did the author choose to take the Muddy Boot van?

A.She couldn’t afford to rent a car.

B.She preferred to travel alone.

C.She wanted to save some money.

D.She hoped to reach the destination earlier.

【2】What can we learn about Piedra Herrada?

A.It is at a high altitude.B.It is far from Valle de Bravo.

C.It is full of wild animals.D.It is only accessible by riding a horse.

【3】What made the author’s hiking worthwhile?

A.Becoming healthier.B.Breathing in fresh air.

C.Finding trees of different shapes.D.Seeing the butterfly migration.

【4】What type of writing is the text?

A.A news report.B.A scientific paper.C.A travel diary.D.A commercial ad.

【答案】

【1】C

【2】A

【3】D

【4】C

【解析】

这是一篇记叙文（游记），主要记录了“我”寻访壮观的蝴蝶迁徙之景的历程。

【1】

细节理解题。根据原文第二段“But I was on a budget. I didn’t want to rent a car in Mexico or take a bus to Valle de Bravo, the starting point for most butterfly adventures, so I called the guys at the Muddy Boot”可知“我”想节省费用（on a budget），没有租车或乘公车，而是选择去乘坐Muddy Boot的货车（结合第三段首句And so, on January 2, I found myself in the Muddy Boot van），C中说她想省钱，与原文契合，故选C。

【2】

推理判断题。根据原文第四段中“The climb up is tiring…and there is some hiking in thin air”可知，到Piedra Herrada需要攀登，且这一过程十分劳累，而且有一段旅程是要在稀薄的空气中徒步的，可推断出它处于一个较高的海拔上，A符合题意。同时，结合原文第四段中的描述，这个地方离小镇仅有40分钟的行程（only 40 minutes away from Valle de Bravo），only一词表明“我”认为是不远的，B错误；C中提到的野生动物到处都是，于文无据；D中说只能通过骑马到达，但原文明确指出可步行或骑马，综上应选A。

【3】

细节理解题。结合第五段整段内容，特别是其中的“The walk is more than worth it…every inch of them was covered with butterflies.”可知“我”觉得值，是因为在旅程中终于能看到自己一直心心念念的蝴蝶迁徙景象，故选D。

【4】

推理判断题。结合全文内容和语言，作者讲述的是自己准备并进行这场寻访蝴蝶迁徙之旅的过程，语言平实朴素，属于对自己生活旅游的记录，是一篇旅行日记（游记），新闻报道、科学论文和商业广告均明显不符合原文内容和语言风格，故选C。

According to a study published in the UK recently, those who like jogging and do this kind of exercise 【1】 (regular) for at least one hour a week have very high chances to live a longer life. The study's Danish researchers convinced 【2】 (convince) that choosing this kind of physical activity can bring us a priceless reward, 【3】 is 5 to 6more years of life!

The scientists analyzed the data on about 20,000 people 【8】 (age) between 20 and 93, collected for over 35 years by the Copenhagen City Heart Study. According Dr. Peter Schnohr, the 【9】 (lead) researcher, it was found that jogging is associated with as much as a 44 percent 【10】 (low) risk of death. The life expectancy increase in men is as much as 6.2 years, and for women it is as much as 5.6 years.

【题目】 The low percentage of women in science ，technology，engineering，and mathematics(STEM) careers is often attributed (归因于) to men being believed to be better at the sort of thinking those fields require. Though studies have debunked the view,they have largely been based on results acquired from various several standardized tests. Now, researchers from Pennsylvania' S Carnegie Mellon University have found evidence that is hard to overlook; MRI (磁共振成像) proves that young girls and boys use the same mechanisms and networks in the brain to solve math problems.

The groundbreaking study to evaluate the biological gender differences in the math talent of young children was led by the university' s professor of neuroscience, Jessica Cantlon. For their study ,the team selected 104 young children, between 3 and 10 years old, divided almost equally by gender. The scientists used a functional MRI to observe their brain activity as they engaged in math tasks. These included watching age appropriate educational videos and doing math exercises such as counting and addition,as well as reading for comparison.

“We looked at which areas of the brain respond more strongly to mathematics content in the videos and tasks, compared to non math content like reading or the alphabet, Cantlon said.“When we do that in lite girls, we see a particular network of the brain respond,and when we do that same analysis in boys, we see the exact same regions.”

So why do girls and young women tend to avoid math and STEM careers in general? Cantlon thinks it may be rooted in social and cultural conventions. Previous studies have indicated that parents tend to spend more time with young boys in play that inspire spatial cognition (空间认知)-such as toys that involve learning number skills and shapes and solving puzzles. Educators were also observed to spend more time with boys during math class.

On the afternoon of May 25th, a charity sale held by the Students’ Union on our school playground. In order to keep everything organized, we made fully preparations. Before the sale, from the student we collected various used books and second-hand goods which were still in a good condition. Then we classify them. When the day came, students and teachers both came and took an active part in it. In the end of the activity, we raised 5000 yuan in total. All the money which we raised will be sent to the students from poor families in our school to help finishing their studies. It’s such meaningful an activity that students are all looking forward to the next charity sale.

As I fill out my return receipt form, my brother looked around at another people in line. I noticed him staring at the pictures on the wall. “Who is the people on the wall?” he asked.
