In 2009, Kevin Pearce was at the height of his professional snowboarding career and was preparing for the Winter Olympics. But during training, he struck his head on the edge of a halfpipe. It changed the course of the then 22-year-old’s life. He had to relearn how to walk and talk and basically start over. His older brother Adam gave up his job and moved across the country to help him through recovery. Kevin eventually started doing yoga, and his family saw how it positively changed him and gave him a sense of hope.
“I remember so clearly I came out of the first yoga class with Kevin and just saw in his face this new expression, this new person,” Adam Pearce said. “We would like to figure out why and how that just happened.”
Brain injury affects the lives of millions of Americans each year, including many who are living with long-term brain-injury-related disabilities (残疾). Wanting to bring hope and cure to others through yoga, Adam and Kevin co-founded the LoveYourBrain Foundation in 2014. The nonprofit offers week-long retreats (静修) and community-based yoga classes across the United States for people who have brain injury as well as their caregivers. The organization aims to finally make a safe space and a supportive community where people with brain injury can be treated together.
The organization also trains yoga teachers, giving them knowledge on how to work with those who have brain injury, and works with hospitals to add yoga into recovery treatments early on. To date, LoveYourBrain has reached more than 35,000 people.
“Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought we’d be here almost 13 years after Kevin’s accident,” Adam said. “What this has taught me is that injury and unpleasant situations can be a powerful pathway for deeper learning and growth.”
4. What stopped Kevin Pearce taking part in the Winter Olympics
A. Adam’s joblessness. B. His serious brain injury.
C. Changes in his plan. D. His new interest in yoga.
5. What did Kevin think of yoga probably
A. True hope for recovery. B. A new job for a disabled man.
C. An excuse to escape from reality. D. Access to further education.
6. How does Adam find the effect of yoga on Kevin
A. Worrying. B. Doubtful.
C. Impressive. D. Controllable.
7. What is the final aim of the LoveYourBrain Foundation
A. To train as many yoga teachers as possible.
B. To set up a special hospital for curing brain injury.
C. To help hospitals find new ways to prevent brain injury.
D To establish a special site for brain injury treatment.
C
Elephants may be known for their size and strength, but tourists who ride on their backs can still do great harm. A picture provided by the Wildlife Friends Foundation in Thailand (WFFT) shows Pai Lin, a 71-year-old female elephant whose back has become disfigured (变形) after 25 years of working in the tourism industry, where she was forced to carry up to six tourists at a time. Pai Lin’s back still bears scars from old pressure points. This continuous pressure on elephants’ bodies can deteriorate the bones on their back, causing long-lasting physical damage.
Pai Lin was abandoned (遗弃) by her previous owner, who felt that she was too slow and always in pain and couldn’t work well anymore.
Elephant rides are a popular tourist activity in countries across Southeast Asia, but activists say the practice is a form of animal abuse (虐待) as their bodies are not designed to be ridden. They say the animals are also often abused and exploited in other industries like long marching and logging, with many dying from exhaustion and hunger as they are really forced to work until death.
The group was sharing Pai Lin’s story to raise awareness about elephant abuse. Pai Lin is living out her days with 24 other rescued elephants in WFFT’s preserve near the seaside town of Hua Hin, about a 2.5-hour drive from Bangkok. She’s older now and has put on weight. But you can see the shape of her back very clearly—it’s a physical disfigurement she will have to live with, but she’s doing well.
The “old lady” enjoys having her own space. But she really enjoys being around the company of other elephants and likes attention from people. She does get moody (喜怒无常的) when it involves food but she is a very lovely elephant.
8. What does the underlined word “deteriorate” in paragraph 1 mean
A. Relax. B. Worsen. C. Balance. D. Strengthen.
9. Why did Pai Lin’s previous owner give her up
A. She ate too much. B. She usually attacked tourists.
C. She was dying from illness. D. She was no longer fit for her job.
10. Which of the following agrees with the ideas of activists
A. Elephants should help humans do what they can’t do.
B. Elephants should work in many fields except tourism.
C. Elephants should be ridden by fewer than 6 people.
D. Elephants should be better treated by people.
11. Which of the following can best describe the present Pai Lin
A. Curious. B. Energetic. C. Friendly. D. Annoying.
D
What if you could look at all the things you do daily — walking from room to room, preparing a presentation at your desk, running up and down stairs to deliver washed clothes or taking a jog around the neighborhood—and know which ones will best help or hurt your brain
A new study attempted to answer that question by fixing activity monitors to the legs of nearly 4,500 participants(参与者)in the United Kingdom and tracking their 24-hour movements for seven days. Researchers then examined how participants’ behavior affected their short-term memory, problem-solving and processing skills.
Here’s the good news: People who spent even small amounts of time on more energetic activities — as little as 6 to 9 minutes — compared to sitting, sleeping or gentle activities, had higher cognition (认知) scores.
Middle physical activity is typically defined (定义) as quick walking or bicycling or running up and down stairs. Energetic movement, such as quick dancing, jogging, running, swimming and biking up a hill, will increase your heart rate and breathing.
The study found doing just under 10 minutes of middle to energetic exercise each day improved the participants’ working memory but had its biggest effect on operative processes such as planning and organization.
There is bad news as well: Spending more time sleeping, sitting or doing only gentle movement was connected to a negative (负面的) effect on the brain. The study found cognition reduced 1% to 2% after replacing an equal part of middle to energetic physical activity with eight minutes of still behavior, six minutes of light activities or seven minutes of sleep.
That change is only a connection, not a cause and effect, due to the observational methods of the study. Additional studies need to be done to prove these findings and understand the role o each type of activity. However, the study highlights how even very small differences in people’ daily movement — less than 10 minutes — are connected to quite great changes in our cognitive health.
12. What’s the author’s purpose in writing paragraph 1
A. To present some useful activities. B. To explain a situation.
C. To attract the readers’ attention. D. To find the answer to a question.
13 What is the best for the brain’s function according to the text
A. Sitting still. B. Deep sleep.
C. Light activities. D. Energetic exercise.
14. What can we know about the study from the last paragraph
A Its results need further confirmation.
B. It finds not all middle activities are beneficial.
C. Its observational methods are different from others.
D. It shows no relationship between exercise and the brain.
15. What is the best title for the text
A. Physical Activity Types and Cognition B. Arrangement for Things You Do Daily
C. Definition of Types of Physical Activity D. The Positive and Negative Effects on Brain

Scientists Make Amazing Paint Using Ideas from Nature
The colors in most paints come from pigments(颜料)—colored things such as minerals, metals or chemicals. But nature has another way to create color, called “structural color”. Structural color comes from tiny shapes on the surfaces of things like wings, feathers or shells. ___16___ Now scientists have used nanotechnology(纳米技术)to make paint with structural color.
___17___ They were trying to create a special mirrored surface. But they found super-small clumps of aluminum atoms(铝原子团块)on the surface. The researchers were upset because these small clumps messed up the mirror. Then they realized that the clumps made colors when light hit them. They decided to turn their discovery into paint.
All the color in the new paint comes from aluminum. There are tiny aluminum pieces and then even smaller nanoparticles(纳米颗粒)that create the colors. The nanoparticles don’t really produce the color. They simply reflect back a single color. ___18___
Because the new paint doesn’t have pigments, the paint is so light that it could reduce the amount of fuel used by planes and cars. ___19___ It would only take 1.3 kg of structural paint to do the same job.
___20___ In regular paints, pigments break down and fade over time. That’s not true for structural color. Once we paint something with structural color, it should stay for centuries. What’s more, the new paint doesn’t heat up like regular paint. That’s true even for darker colors. The new paint can keep surfaces up to 16.6℃ cooler than normal paint. Using the paint on buildings in cities could help cool cities and reduce the electricity spent on air. conditioning.
A. The new paint has several other advantages.
B. Structural paint could save as much money as possible.
C. Researchers weren’t really planning on making paint.
D. The size of them determines which color gets reflected.
E. Generally, it takes about 500 kg of paint to cover an airplane.
F. Normally, we never see the shapes because they’re so small.
G. It will probably be a while before you can use structural color.

Lucy’s son, Patrick, was on a school camping trip. He would be home by the weekend, but for now, Lucy was enjoying having some time alone. Just as she settled on a comedy movie, her phone, rang. It was from Patrick’s teacher, Mr. Randall, who told Lucy Patrick was lost. Lucy’s heart beat like a drum, and her mouth dried up like the desert. She told Mr. Randall to send her the location and she was heading out there right now.
After packing some necessary camping tools, Lucy drove to the campsite. It was in a fairly remote (偏远) and forested area. By the time she got into the wide valley where the campsite was situated, the sun was setting. Mr. Randall was waiting for her and told her that they went on a hike through the forest that morning. Patrick was still with them when they stopped for lunch. But they were not sure when he got separated from the group. When they returned to the campsite, he was found to be missing.
Lucy stared at the tall trees marking the forest’s edge. Thinking of her son out in the forest by himself brought tears to her eyes. Then Lucy saw the group of sweaty, tired-looking police officers searching for her son. They hadn’t found her son, yet. More unfortunately, they said it was getting too dark to continue searching and what’s worse, there were wolves in the forest. Lucy was angry that the police would leave her son in the wild. What good would tomorrow do Patrick if he didn’t survive the night
“Fine,” Lucy said, “a group of police officers might be too scared to continue searching, but I’m his mother, and I won’t give up until my son is safe.”
With her camping supplies, Lucy set off along a narrow path leading through the trees. However, the deeper Lucy entered the forest, the more anxious she became. Soon, she was lost in the dark. At that moment, she heard something following her. Lucy turned and looked straight into the green eyes of a wolf.
注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Without thinking, she ran immediately.

In 2009, Kevin Pearce was at the height of his professional snowboarding career and was preparing for the Winter Olympics. But during training, he struck his head on the edge of a halfpipe. It changed the course of the then 22-year-old’s life. He had to relearn how to walk and talk and basically start over. His older brother Adam gave up his job and moved across the country to help him through recovery. Kevin eventually started doing yoga, and his family saw how it positively changed him and gave him a sense of hope.
“I remember so clearly I came out of the first yoga class with Kevin and just saw in his face this new expression, this new person,” Adam Pearce said. “We would like to figure out why and how that just happened.”
Brain injury affects the lives of millions of Americans each year, including many who are living with long-term brain-injury-related disabilities (残疾). Wanting to bring hope and cure to others through yoga, Adam and Kevin co-founded the LoveYourBrain Foundation in 2014. The nonprofit offers week-long retreats (静修) and community-based yoga classes across the United States for people who have brain injury as well as their caregivers. The organization aims to finally make a safe space and a supportive community where people with brain injury can be treated together.
The organization also trains yoga teachers, giving them knowledge on how to work with those who have brain injury, and works with hospitals to add yoga into recovery treatments early on. To date, LoveYourBrain has reached more than 35,000 people.
“Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought we’d be here almost 13 years after Kevin’s accident,” Adam said. “What this has taught me is that injury and unpleasant situations can be a powerful pathway for deeper learning and growth.”
4. What stopped Kevin Pearce taking part in the Winter Olympics
A. Adam’s joblessness. B. His serious brain injury.
C. Changes in his plan. D. His new interest in yoga.
5. What did Kevin think of yoga probably
A. True hope for recovery. B. A new job for a disabled man.
C. An excuse to escape from reality. D. Access to further education.
6. How does Adam find the effect of yoga on Kevin
A. Worrying. B. Doubtful.
C. Impressive. D. Controllable.
7. What is the final aim of the LoveYourBrain Foundation
A. To train as many yoga teachers as possible.
B. To set up a special hospital for curing brain injury.
C. To help hospitals find new ways to prevent brain injury.
D. To establish a special site for brain injury treatment.

Elephants may be known for their size and strength, but tourists who ride on their backs can still do great harm. A picture provided by the Wildlife Friends Foundation in Thailand (WFFT) shows Pai Lin, a 71-year-old female elephant whose back has become disfigured (变形) after 25 years of working in the tourism industry, where she was forced to carry up to six tourists at a time. Pai Lin’s back still bears scars from old pressure points. This continuous pressure on elephants’ bodies can deteriorate the bones on their back, causing long-lasting physical damage.
Pai Lin was abandoned (遗弃) by her previous owner, who felt that she was too slow and always in pain and couldn’t work well anymore.
Elephant rides are a popular tourist activity in countries across Southeast Asia, but activists say the practice is a form of animal abuse (虐待) as their bodies are not designed to be ridden. They say the animals are also often abused and exploited in other industries like long marching and logging, with many dying from exhaustion and hunger as they are really forced to work until death.
The group was sharing Pai Lin’s story to raise awareness about elephant abuse. Pai Lin is living out her days with 24 other rescued elephants in WFFT’s preserve near the seaside town of Hua Hin, about a 2.5-hour drive from Bangkok. She’s older now and has put on weight. But you can see the shape of her back very clearly—it’s a physical disfigurement she will have to live with, but she’s doing well.
The “old lady” enjoys having her own space. But she really enjoys being around the company of other elephants and likes attention from people. She does get moody (喜怒无常的) when it involves food but she is a very lovely elephant.
8. What does the underlined word “deteriorate” in paragraph 1 mean
A. Relax. B. Worsen. C. Balance. D. Strengthen.
9. Why did Pai Lin’s previous owner give her up
A. She ate too much. B. She usually attacked tourists.
C. She was dying from illness. D. She was no longer fit for her job.
10. Which of the following agrees with the ideas of activists
A. Elephants should help humans do what they can’t do.
B. Elephants should work in many fields except tourism.
C. Elephants should be ridden by fewer than 6 people.
D. Elephants should be better treated by people.
11. Which of the following can best describe the present Pai Lin
A. Curious. B. Energetic. C. Friendly. D. Annoying.
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. D 11. C
【解析】

What if you could look at all the things you do daily — walking from room to room, preparing a presentation at your desk, running up and down stairs to deliver washed clothes or taking a jog around the neighborhood—and know which ones will best help or hurt your brain
A new study attempted to answer that question by fixing activity monitors to the legs of nearly 4,500 participants(参与者)in the United Kingdom and tracking their 24-hour movements for seven days. Researchers then examined how participants’ behavior affected their short-term memory, problem-solving and processing skills.
Here’s the good news: People who spent even small amounts of time on more energetic activities — as little as 6 to 9 minutes — compared to sitting, sleeping or gentle activities, had higher cognition (认知) scores.
Middle physical activity is typically defined (定义) as quick walking or bicycling or running up and down stairs. Energetic movement, such as quick dancing, jogging, running, swimming and biking up a hill, will increase your heart rate and breathing.
The study found doing just under 10 minutes of middle to energetic exercise each day improved the participants’ working memory but had its biggest effect on operative processes such as planning and organization.
There is bad news as well: Spending more time sleeping, sitting or doing only gentle movement was connected to a negative (负面的) effect on the brain. The study found cognition reduced 1% to 2% after replacing an equal part of middle to energetic physical activity with eight minutes of still behavior, six minutes of light activities or seven minutes of sleep.
That change is only a connection, not a cause and effect, due to the observational methods of the study. Additional studies need to be done to prove these findings and understand the role o each type of activity. However, the study highlights how even very small differences in people’ daily movement — less than 10 minutes — are connected to quite great changes in our cognitive health.
12. What’s the author’s purpose in writing paragraph 1
A. To present some useful activities. B. To explain a situation.
C. To attract the readers’ attention. D. To find the answer to a question.
13. What is the best for the brain’s function according to the text
A. Sitting still. B. Deep sleep.
C. Light activities. D. Energetic exercise.
14. What can we know about the study from the last paragraph
A. Its results need further confirmation.
B. It finds not all middle activities are beneficial.
C. Its observational methods are different from others.
D. It shows no relationship between exercise and the brain.
15. What is the best title for the text
A. Physical Activity Types and Cognition B. Arrangement for Things You Do Daily
C. Definition of Types of Physical Activity D. The Positive and Negative Effects on Brain
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. A 15. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项关于体育活动类型与认知之间的关系研究。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第一段“What if you could look at all the things you do daily — walking from room to room, preparing a presentation at your desk, running up and down stairs to deliver washed clothes or taking a jog around the neighborhood—and know which ones will best help or hurt your brain (如果你能看看你每天做的所有事情——从一个房间走到另一个房间，在办公桌前准备演讲，跑上跑下楼梯送洗好的衣服，或者在附近慢跑——并知道哪些最能帮助或伤害你的大脑，会怎么样？)”可推知，作者提出问题，是为了吸引读者的注意力。故选C。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第三段“Here’s the good news: People who spent even small amounts of time on more energetic activities — as little as 6 to 9 minutes — compared to sitting, sleeping or gentle activities, had higher cognition (认知) scores. (好消息是：与坐着、睡觉或温和的活动相比，即使花很少的时间进行更有活力的活动，也只有6到9分钟，这些人的认知得分更高)”可知，更有活力的活动对大脑功能最好。故选D。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。由文章最后一段中“That change is only a connection, not a cause and effect, due to the observational methods of the study. Additional studies need to be done to prove these findings and understand the role o each type of activity. (由于这项研究的观察方法，这种变化只是一种联系，而不是因果关系。需要进行更多的研究来证明这些发现，并了解每种活动的作用)”可推知，这项研究的结果需要进一步确认。故选A。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是由文章最后一段中“However, the study highlights how even very small differences in people’ daily movement — less than 10 minutes — are connected to quite great changes in our cognitive health. (然而，这项研究强调，即使是人们日常活动的微小差异——不到10分钟——也与我们认知健康的巨大变化有关)”可知，文章主要介绍了一项关于体育活动类型与认知之间的关系研究。由此可知，Physical Activity Types and Cognition适合作本文最佳标题。故选A。

Scientists Make Amazing Paint Using Ideas from Nature
The colors in most paints come from pigments(颜料)—colored things such as minerals, metals or chemicals. But nature has another way to create color, called “structural color”. Structural color comes from tiny shapes on the surfaces of things like wings, feathers or shells. ___16___ Now scientists have used nanotechnology(纳米技术)to make paint with structural color.
___17___ They were trying to create a special mirrored surface. But they found super-small clumps of aluminum atoms(铝原子团块)on the surface. The researchers were upset because these small clumps messed up the mirror. Then they realized that the clumps made colors when light hit them. They decided to turn their discovery into paint.
All the color in the new paint comes from aluminum. There are tiny aluminum pieces and then even smaller nanoparticles(纳米颗粒)that create the colors. The nanoparticles don’t really produce the color. They simply reflect back a single color. ___18___
Because the new paint doesn’t have pigments, the paint is so light that it could reduce the amount of fuel used by planes and cars. ___19___ It would only take 1.3 kg of structural paint to do the same job.
___20___ In regular paints, pigments break down and fade over time. That’s not true for structural color. Once we paint something with structural color, it should stay for centuries. What’s more, the new paint doesn’t heat up like regular paint. That’s true even for darker colors. The new paint can keep surfaces up to 16.6℃ cooler than normal paint. Using the paint on buildings in cities could help cool cities and reduce the electricity spent on air. conditioning.
A. The new paint has several other advantages.
B. Structural paint could save as much money as possible.
C. Researchers weren’t really planning on making paint.
D. The size of them determines which color gets reflected.
E. Generally, it takes about 500 kg of paint to cover an airplane.
F. Normally, we never see the shapes because they’re so small.
G. It will probably be a while before you can use structural color.

第二节(满分25分)
47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Lucy’s son, Patrick, was on a school camping trip. He would be home by the weekend, but for now, Lucy was enjoying having some time alone. Just as she settled on a comedy movie, her phone, rang. It was from Patrick’s teacher, Mr. Randall, who told Lucy Patrick was lost. Lucy’s heart beat like a drum, and her mouth dried up like the desert. She told Mr. Randall to send her the location and she was heading out there right now.
After packing some necessary camping tools, Lucy drove to the campsite. It was in a fairly remote (偏远) and forested area. By the time she got into the wide valley where the campsite was situated, the sun was setting. Mr. Randall was waiting for her and told her that they went on a hike through the forest that morning. Patrick was still with them when they stopped for lunch. But they were not sure when he got separated from the group. When they returned to the campsite, he was found to be missing.
Lucy stared at the tall trees marking the forest’s edge. Thinking of her son out in the forest by himself brought tears to her eyes. Then Lucy saw the group of sweaty, tired-looking police officers searching for her son. They hadn’t found her son, yet. More unfortunately, they said it was getting too dark to continue searching and what’s worse, there were wolves in the forest. Lucy was angry that the police would leave her son in the wild. What good would tomorrow do Patrick if he didn’t survive the night
“Fine,” Lucy said, “a group of police officers might be too scared to continue searching, but I’m his mother, and I won’t give up until my son is safe.”
With her camping supplies, Lucy set off along a narrow path leading through the trees. However, the deeper Lucy entered the forest, the more anxious she became. Soon, she was lost in the dark. At that moment, she heard something following her. Lucy turned and looked straight into the green eyes of a wolf.
注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。
Without thinking, she ran immediately.

Lucy woke to freezing cold and saw thin smoke rising through the trees.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Without thinking, she ran immediately. Lucy rushed through the dark forest. Suddenly, she fell over something and landed on a hard stone. Hot tears covered Lucy’s face as she stared at the pale sky between the trees. She was injured, exhausted and completely lost. She hadn’t even spotted a sign of Patrick all night. As the wolf was nowhere to be seen, Lucy breathed a sigh of relief. Lucy’s relief faded quickly, however, when she realized she was in a completely unfamiliar area. Surprised and frightened, Lucy struggled for a long time and fell asleep in the end.
Lucy woke to freezing cold and saw thin smoke rising through the trees. There must be somebody nearby! Lucy gathered all her strength and determination to get to her hands and knees, and then crawled toward the smoke. The smoke was coming from an old cabin built in a clearing. Lucy climbed up the steps and knocked on the door. The door opened and she saw her son. Patrick threw his arms around his mother in a tight hug. Both the mother and the son were excited beyond words. They were safe now and everything would be okay.
