【题目】Directions : After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.
Before age 3, most children lack the necessary skills to lie. Somewhere between the ages of 3 and 8 though, a lot of children become shockingly skillful at telling lies. A group of 3-year-olds 【1】(seat) in a room and told not to peek at a toy placed out of sight while the adult left the room. When they were later asked if they had peeked, only about half of the kids attempted to lie. This was repeated with 7-year-olds, and the majority of the kids avoided telling the truth.
At first, it is because they can 【2】 children lie. They reach a point developmentally 【3】 they realize that they can say something that is not true. These lies are not a sign of moral failures in 【4】 the parents or the child.
By age 7 or 8, most children lie for two reasons. One is to escape punishment and to remain in your good graces. Children figure out that 【5】 they say they did not do something, they may be able to avoid punishment. Older children are also better than the younger ones at reading human emotion and predicting your reaction. Since most of the children want to make their parents happy, their lies may be a 【6】(misguide) attempt to provide the right answer. The kid who tells you that he did not break the vase, even in the presence of a broken vase, is just telling you what you want to hear. He knows you would be upset about the vase, so he makes up a lie to make you happy.
Ironically, kids of strict parents are actually more likely to lie than 【7】 from a more laid-back home. A child who knows that he gets spanked for doing wrong may feel motivated to lie more often and he may become more skilled at it, because he knows 【8】(catch) will lead to punishment.
When it comes to telling the truth, when a child matures and ages you will see the lies become 【9】(frequent). This is a result of more mature kids learning responsibility and being accountable 【10】 their actions. If your youngster is telling lies, don’t panic. He will most likely grow out of this stage with the help of his parents setting the right moral values. The experiment in this article was performed by parents and children.
【答案】
【1】were seated
【2】that
【3】where
【4】either
【5】when / if
【6】misguided
【7】those
【8】being caught
【9】less frequent
【10】for
【解析】
本文是一篇说明文,介绍了3岁到8岁大的孩子很擅长说谎,但是长大后就不那么能说谎了。
【1】考查动词时态语态。句意:一群3岁大的孩子坐在一个房间里,被告知在大人离开房间时不要偷看放在视线之外的玩具。be seated表示“坐下”,“left”表明用一般过去时,主语是A group of 3-year-olds,谓语动词用复数,故填were seated。
【2】考查强调句型。句意:起初,孩子们撒谎是因为他们会撒谎。此处为强调句型,其基本结构为it is+被强调部分+that+其余部分,此处强调的是原因状语because they can,故填that。
【3】考查定语从句。句意:他们发展到这样一个阶段,他们意识到他们可以说一些不真实的东西。此处定语从句,先行词为a point,表示“……阶段”,定语从句中缺少地点状语,故填where。
【4】考查代词。句意:这些谎言并不是父母或孩子道德失败的标志。either…or…表示“或者、二选一的”,故填either。
【5】考查条件/时间状语从句。句意:孩子们发现,如果/当他们说他们没有做什么,他们可能可以避免惩罚。此处表示“如果”,也可以表示“当……的时候”,故填when / if。
【6】考查形容词。句意:由于大多数孩子想让他们的父母高兴,他们的谎言可能是提供正确答案的错误尝试。修饰名词attempt 用形容词,misguided表示“被误导的、误入歧途的”,故填misguided。
【7】考查代词。句意:来自父母严厉的家庭的孩子比那些来自父母管得不那么严的家庭的孩子更容易撒谎。此处与前面的kids一致用复数,表示“那些(孩子)”,故填those。
【8】考查非谓语动词。句意:因为他知道被抓住会受到惩罚。作主语用动名词,he与catch之间是被动关系,所以用动名词的被动式作主语,故填being caught。
【9】考查形容词比较级。句意:说到说实话,当一个孩子长大成人,你会发现说谎变得不那么频繁了。此处有一个隐晦的比较意义,是长大后和小时候的对比,应该用形容词比较级,表示“不那么频繁、次数更少”,故填less frequent。
【10】考查介词。句意:这是更成熟的孩子学习责任和对自己的行为负责的结果。be accountable for表示“对……负责”,故填for。
注意在模糊地点先行词后由关系副词where引导定语从句,当先行词是case,degree,situation,point,stage,job,position,activity,age,system,race,conditions,scene,spot,family等,表示某人或某物所处的情况或发展的阶段,并且关系词在定语从句中作地点状语时,一般用关系副词where引导定语从句,如:Sales director is a position where communication ability is just as important as sales skills. 销售总监是一个沟通能力和销售技巧同样重要的职位。

【题目】 A cell phone is one of the few things that we hold close to our faces all the time, and yet it could possibly explode – this is what made the recent Samsung’s Galaxy Note 7 smart phone accidents so shocking.
According to technology news website, The Verge, flawed (有瑕疵的) phone batteries might be to blame.
Even if you are not a science student, you probably know that it is common sense that the negative end and the positive end of the battery should never touch. If they do, the battery will short-circuit (短路), causing a powerful electrical reaction that can destroy the battery and cause a fire.
This is why all lithium-ion (锂离子) batteries – the kind that can be found in many of our devices (电子设备) like tablets and cameras – have a separator layer inside to stop the two ends from touching one another.
But somehow, the separators in some of the Samsung phones broke, causing explosions.
Overcharging is another problem that can make batteries heat up quickly. Fortunately, most batteries are designed to be able to automatically stop charging once they are fully charged. But again, this somehow failed to happen in some of the Samsung phones.
According to Lynden Archer, a materials scientist at Cornell University, US, we have already achieved 90 percent of the battery life possible from a lithium-ion battery. Customers’ demands that their devices get thinner and their battery have a longer life have given producers little choice but to try to put more power into thinner batteries. However, the more energy you put into a box, the more dangerous it’s going to be.
【1】A separator layer is put in lithium-ion batteries in order to ______.
A.ensure a longer battery life
B.reduce a certain electrical reaction
C.connect the anode and the cathode
D.prevent a battery from short circuiting
【2】What are the possible reasons for the Samsung phone explosions?
A.Pushing the limits of batteries.
B.Short circuiting and overheating.
C.Overcharging and thinner batteries.
D.Automatic charging and broken separators.
【3】What is the writer’s main purpose of writing the article?
A.To describe problems facing cell phone producers.
B.To warn us about the dangers of lithium-ion batteries.
C.To teach us common sense when it comes to batteries.
D.To explain the reasons for the Samsung phone explosions.

【题目】Directions: Read the following passage and choose the most suitable statement from A-F for each blank. There are two extra statements, which you do not need.
Life would be a lot sweeter if you were a memory athlete. Most of us however, are not wired that way. But don’t be discouraged: thanks to neuroplasticity, anyone can transcend their fallible memory. 【1】
There are a few relatively simple things a person can do to help improve their memory function. First up, the basics: the foundation of good memory is good health. 【2】
Then there are more deliberate approaches like practicing mnemonics. A mnemonic device is a trick designed to make remembering things easier. So instead of remembering to buy eggs, rice, apples and dog food, it might be easier to think of READ, which stands for rice, eggs, apples, and dog food. This is the acrostic method.
【3】 Let’s use the same shopping list as an example. Instead of focusing on the word ‘rice,’ this technique works by focusing on the image of rice thrown on the ground in a yard. For eggs, picture a hen pecking at the rice, followed by a nearby tree of apple blossoms, the petals falling around the hen, falling on a sleeping dog. Once the interconnected scene is created it’s a simple visual to ease your way around the halls of the grocery store with no list needed. This technique, where you base a memory around visual images, is more formally called ‘method of loci’.
A recent study published in Neuron has unearthed some interesting insights about the brains of competitive memorizers. The researchers invited 23 of the world’s top 50 memory athletes to have their brains scanned in rest states, and while performing memory tests, and matched each champion to a control participant. Anatomically, the scans showed there was no difference in brain structure or region size between the groups. 【4】 And what’s more, after they gave the ‘naive’ control group training in the method of loci, their neural connectivity began to look more like that of the pros.
A. What you're born with isn't what you're stuck with.
B. Where the difference was observed was in connectivity.
C. Another more complicated mnemonic technique is called a mind palace.
D. Training in method of loci can physically change the way a person remembers.
E. Eating and sleeping right will lead to optimal brain function, the flow-on effect of which is a better memory.
F. The improved memory observed after mnemonic training persists for as long as 4 months after training concludes.

【题目】 China will follow up on its successful mission (任务) to the far side of the moon by sending a probe to Mars next year, one of its top space scientists said Sunday. Wu Weiren, chief designer of China’s lunar exploration program, said the red planet was the natural next step. “Next year we’ll launch a Mars probe to orbit around the Mars, land on it and probe it,” he said. China will also send another probe to take back samples from the moon’s surface.
Wu’s comments came as a Mars simulation(模拟) base opened in Qinghai’s Qaidam Basin. According to the state-run Global Times, while the red rocky area bears a strikingly similarity to Mars, it’s extremely difficult to simulate Mars due to its special natural features and hostile environment—low air pressure, strong radiation and frequent sandstorms, as well as vast differences in geography.
China didn’t send its first satellite into orbit until 1970, by which time America had already landed an astronaut on the moon, but it’s been catching up fast. Since 2003, China has sent six crews into space and two space labs into Earth’s orbit In 2013, China successfully landed a rover, Yutu 1, on the moon, becoming only the third country to do so.
Last December, China landed another probe and a rover, Yutu 2, on the far side of the moon. Progress has been slow going since then: due to the extreme conditions there, the rover often has to hibernate to preserve its capabilities for further exploration, Wu said. “The temperature there is minus 190 degrees Celsius, which all components and parts cannot stand. So we let it sleep for a while, making sure it can spend the night safely. A few days ago, it woke up automatically to work. We’ve gained lots of data in the past few days, and we're going to make the data known to the world,” Wu said.
【1】What’s China’s next step in its space exploration?
A.To get back a probe from Mars.
B.To probe Mars next year.
C.To land a rover on Mars successfully.
D.To open a Mars simulation base.
【2】Which does the underlined word “hostile” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A.Stable.B.Uncertain.
C.Unfavorable.D.Friendly.
【3】What can be learned from the last paragraph?
A.Yutu 2 often has to hibernate to save its energy.
B.The data from Yutu 2 is accessible to the world.
C.Progress has been steady in the past exploration.
D.Yutu 2 can survive the moon's extreme conditions.
【4】Which of the following has China achieved in exploring space?
A.Two space labs have been set up.
B.Six crews were sent into space in 2003.
C.Samples from the moon have been taken back.
D.China became the third to send a satellite to Earth’s orbit.
