83、tists and farmers have been working on a solution to this problem for decades,and theyve apparently come up with a tearless onion.Called the“Sunion”,this new vegetable is the result of a natural cross-breeding program thats been going on farms in Nevada and Washington since the 1980s.Its supposedly

84、a sweet,mild-tasting onion that doesnt leave that strong,pungent aftertaste,but what really sets it apart from most other onion varieties is that it doesnt cause teary eyes when its chopped.When you cut into a normal onion,it releases a compound called lachrymatory-factor synthase,and when that hits

85、 your eyes,your body produces tears.Now,the interesting thing about regular onions is that the amounts of lachrymatory-factor synthase increase the longer the vegetables are stored,so the older they are,the more you cry.In Sunions,on the other hand,the levels of that annoying compound drop the more

86、time goes by,until it no longer has any effect on your eyes when you cut it.Thats what Sunion growers are claiming anyway,but reports from those lucky enough to have tried them seem to confirm these claims.The Huffington Post had three of its reporters chop some Sunions,and apparently,none of them s

87、hed a single tear.According to The Washington Post,they dont have the pungency of regular onions and are so sweet that you can eat them “like popcorn”. So the good news is that tearless onions are now a real thing.The bad news is that they are currently only grown in Washington and Nevada,and even t

88、hough they are sold nationwide,they are still in relatively short supply.The first Sunion batches hit the shelves of grocery stores in December,but well probably start seeing them in most grocery shops and supermarkets in the next few years,as more people learn about them.1.What is special about the

89、 Sunion?A.Its easily chopped.B.Its sweet and tastes strong.C.Its tearless and mild. D.Its grown nationwide in the USA.2.How does the author introduce the Sunion in Paragraph 3?A.By comparison.B.By telling a story.C.By giving examples.D.By asking questions.3.What does the underlined word “pungency” i

90、n Paragraph 4 mean?A.Round shape.B.Strong smell.C.Special character.D.Medical function.4.What can we conclude from the last paragraph?A.The Sunion has been largely on the market.B.The Sunion is still on trial at present.C.The Sunion will soon be grown worldwide.D.The author is confident about the fu

91、ture of the Sunion.答案语篇解读本文是一篇说明文。在切洋葱的时候,它散发出的辛辣的刺鼻气味会导致人流泪。最近科学家们培育出了一种名叫Sunion的洋葱,让人感到惊奇的是,在切这种洋葱时,我们不会流泪。1.C事实细节题。根据第二段第二句It s supposedly a sweet, mild-tasting onion that doesnt leave that strong, pungent aftertaste, but what really sets it apart from most other onion varieties is that it doesnt

92、 cause teary eyes when its chopped可知,Sunion这种洋葱味淡且不会使人流泪。故选C项。2.A推理判断题。根据第三段内容可知,作者先介绍了为什么普通的洋葱会使人流泪,然后介绍了Sunion这种洋葱为什么不会使人流泪。由此可判断出,作者主要通过对比来介绍Sunion这种洋葱。故选A项。3.B猜测词义题。根据第四段最后两句“The Huffington Post had three of its reporters chop some Sunions, and apparently, none of them shed a single tear. Accord

93、ing to The Washington Post, they dont have the pungency of regular onions and are so sweet that you can eat them like popcorn.”可知,赫芬顿邮报的那三名记者在切Sunion这种洋葱时都没有流泪。由此可推断出,华盛顿邮报报道的是Sunion这种洋葱没有普通洋葱那种辛辣的刺鼻味,它们尝起来有些甜甜的,就像爆米花一样。因此,pungency指的是“辛辣的刺鼻味”。故选B项。4.D推理判断题。根据最后一段可知,虽然目前Sunion这种洋葱的种植面积不大、总产量不是很高,它们的供

94、应不是很充足,但是作者相信过不了几年人们就可以在大多数超市里买到。由此可推断出,作者对Sunion这种洋葱的未来充满信心。故选D项。长难句When you cut into a normal onion, it releases a compound called lachrymatory-factor synthase, and when that hits your eyes, your body produces tears. 当你切一个普通的洋葱时,它会释放出一种叫做催泪因子合成酶的化合物,当它进入你的眼睛时,你的身体就会产生眼泪。本句为复合句。When you cut into a

95、normal onion中的When引导的是时间状语从句;called lachrymatory-factor synthase是定语,修饰 compound;when that hits your eyes中的when引导的是时间状语从句。高级语块annoying adj. 恼人的,讨厌的supposedly adv. 据说,据信confirm v. 证实DAmong the things Katerina Kaisaris grandfather left behind when he died was some expensive heart medicine.“My mum wante

There isnt detailed data on what happens to these unused drugs, but

99、 anecdotal evidence suggests some are thrown in the trash or burnt.In response, a movement of medicine sharing organizations from Greece to the U.

105、段内容可知,Kaisari尽管不想浪费掉这些药品,但是她不知道如何实现自己的想法,直到一个朋友向她推荐了GIVMED,由此推断在她知道了 GIVMED之后,她就可能把药品捐了出去。2.B事实细节题。根据第四段中的The app then shows which of the 40 listed health care organizations around the city need those particular drugs, letting the user choose whichever donation point is most convenient.可知,当扫描药品的二维码后

106、app上面显示出的是需要这种药品的医疗机构,让人们选择方便的捐赠地点。3.B推理判断题。根据第七段中the Greek Association of Pharmacists published a letter saying the platform “a serious risk to public health”可知,希腊药剂师协会认为这个药物捐赠平台让公众健康面临严重的风险,由此判断他们对此是担忧的。4.D主旨大意题。本文主要介绍了GIVMED致力于解决穷人们对药物的需求和药物浪费之间的问题,人们可以通过GIVMED开发的app把不再需要的、没有用过的药物捐赠给需要的人们,这样GIVME

168、 least,when it comes to blushing.Parrots are known for being clever and chatty. Theyre even skilled enough to make their own tools and occasionally nose their way into human machines like cars. Their curiosity and courage are what make them excellent pets. So its no surprise that they have their own

169、 range of communication tools. On the whole, birds are no strangers to blushing. Many different kinds of birds have been known to exhibit this behavior. Parrot owners often notice it in their pets. The motivations behind it are still a mystery to scientists, though.To zero in on why macaw faces blus

170、h, some scientists led by Aline Bertin of the University of Tours studied five captive blue-and-yellow macaws as they interacted with each other and their human caretakers.

After all, these macaws dont have the same facial muscles that we do. The birds are much smarter and kinder t

172、han they look. They are believed to be as intelligent as monkeys.Bertin and the other scientists believe their work opens the door to further research. One limitation of the study is that no macaws in the natural environment have been observed. That makes it hard to draw conclusions about the birds

176、g.答案语篇解读本文为说明文,属于科普类文章。科学家发现金刚鹦鹉也像人类一样有面部表情。1.D猜测词义题。本题题干意为:下面哪个词能非常好地解释第三段中的词汇“captive”?根据文章第三段中的“their human caretakers”可知这些鸟是有主人的,结合最后一段与之呼应的“One limitation of the study is that no macaws in the natural environment have been observed.”(这项研究的局限性在于没有观察生活在自然环境中的金刚鹦鹉的情况。)可推知“captive”意为“被关在笼子里的”,故选D项。

177、2.B事实细节题。本题题干意为:什么时候/为什么鸟儿脸红?根据文章第四段第二句“Likewise,bird blushing could convey well-being.”(同样地,鸟儿脸红可能表示它们很幸福。)可知B项(为了表达它们很高兴)为正确答案。根据第三段最后一句(当照看人不注意它们时,它们脸上的红色便会消失。)可排除A项。C、D两项在文中没被提及。3.B推理判断题。本题题干意为:对于金刚鹦鹉脸红这一现象科学家做出的反应,哪项是对的?根据文章第三、四段内容判断,金刚鹦鹉会脸红这个现象引发了Aline Bertin所带领科研团队的关注和研究,他们进而发现金刚鹦鹉的脸红可能和我们人类一

178、样,是种情感表达。综合考虑,科学家会继续研究金刚鹦鹉怎样表达情感。故本题答案为B项。4.D主旨大意题。本题题干意为:本文的主题是什么?纵观全文,作者主要介绍了金刚鹦鹉和人类一样会脸红,以及Aline Bertin带领的科学家们对这一现象的研究,所以选D项,此处“go red in the face”就是对本文关键词“blush”的解释。第二节(共5小题:每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。Time after time, I am on different Internet forums, and I end up

While a bit of planning and research will serve you well when theyre starting any project, often months later, these same people are “still

180、thinking about it”.While there are many reasons that may stop someone from starting a project they have in mind, fear being the most obvious, the idea of perfectionism seems to be the second most. 1There is a proverb,“Tomorrow is often the busiest day of the week.” There is no such thing as the perf

In fact, you spend so much time being concerned about getting everything right and perfect but it wears your initial enthusiasm down. 2Yes,you should want to be reaching for excellence, but who starts out with being excellent? Excellence will only come from trial and error.Just make a deci

182、sion and start following through. Forget trying to be a perfectionist.3It comes from the belief that “anything I do that is less than perfect is not worth doing”. This way of thinking leads to one becoming discouraged and then failing even to start ones project.To start, just begin with something th

Make a basic plan, take action, and then start improving the actual results.4Let go of the fear, stop thinking and start doing, and forget starting out with “its got to be perfect”.Ill leave you with the words of an actual doer, who was not

184、a perfect person, and all his decisions were not perfect. 5 “You dont have to see the whole staircase;just take the first step.”A.In fact, perfectionism is an unhealthy belief.B.Ill provide you with some examples of action.C.Yet the only way to a solution is to start doing.D.However, he is an exampl

186、的观点:尽管会有种种理由阻止我们将心中的想法付诸行动,但唯一的解决办法就是立即行动起来。故选C项。2.G细节句。此空前文指出人们在有了想法后往往会想要设计完美的计划,花大量时间考虑把一切都安排得妥当、完美,这样就会消磨掉热情,因而此处提出这样的结果便是时间过去了,完美的时机也过去了。3.A细节句。前文提到忘记试图成为一个完美主义者,指出这是不可取的。故A项符合此意。4.F细节句。本段的大意是:立即行动起来,有个初步计划即可,之后慢慢改进。F项“开始一个项目并不是生与死的决定”符合此意。5.D细节句。本段提到一个不完美的“行动派”以及他的话,此处说到“但是现今他值得我们学习”,故选D。高级语块t

188、most。前面是由while引导的让步状语从句,从句中that引导的定语从句修饰先行词reasons。fear being the most obvious是一个独立主格结构。译文:尽管有很多理由可能会阻止某人开始实施头脑中的项目,害怕是最明显的,完美主义的想法是第二明显的。第二部 完形填空(共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分)阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。At a beautiful beach a little boy on his knees packs the sand into a bucket.

196、可知街道和交通是繁忙的(busy),此空与第一段第一句中的beautiful形成对比。lonely寂寞的;clean干净的;empty空的。3.C用手指敲击键盘用动词hit。touch的意思为“触碰”,不符合实际,故被排除。fix修理;check检查。4.A合同签字生效,使这位男士高兴的是,一笔赢利(profit)就这样到手了。point点;record记录;wish希望。5.A此句与第一段中的“building sentries(哨兵)with bottle tops and bridges with sticks”进行对比,作者将pension比作 “sentries”,将capital

197、gains比作“bridges”,故答案为A项。6.B根据后面三句可知作者要表达的意思是:这两座城堡的两个建筑者有许多共同之处。have sth. in common“有共同之处”。in hand在手头;in need需要;in total总共。7.C句意:他们都把渺小的塑造成伟大的。本句中shape为动词,意思是“塑造”。increase增加;cut切;put放置。8.D对于他们两个而言,潮水会涨起,一切都会结束。award奖品;victory胜利;future未来。9.A根据本句中的Yet可知前几句在讲小男孩儿和那位男士的相似之处,而本句为过渡句,表示:然而他们的相似处(similarit

198、ies)就到此为止。competition比赛;difference不同;change变化。10.C从本句开始作者介绍小男孩儿和那位男士的不同。根据本句中的while(表对比),可知设空处与sees相对比,故答案为C项。句意:小男孩儿看到了城堡的终结,而那位男士却忽略了它。follow跟随;accept接受;ignore忽视;enjoy欣赏。11.A根据下文中的“There is no sorrow”及“He smiles and goes home.”可知当海浪冲走他的杰作时,他一跃而起(jumps to his feet),开始鼓掌欢呼。struggle to his feet意为:挣扎着

199、起来,不合本题要求,故被排除。stick和bend两个动词不和“to his feet”构成短语,故全被排除。12.C根据第一段对小男孩儿的介绍可知,那座城堡就是小男孩儿的杰作(masterpiece)。dream梦想;gift礼物;memory记忆。13.A根据下文那位男士的表现可知:那位男士不如那个小男孩儿明智(wise)。naughty调皮的;curious好奇的;active活跃的。14.C结合上文及引号里的内容可推知答案为C项。句意:他会对着即将到来的潮水大喊(yells):“那是我的城堡!”glance瞥见;stare盯着;point瞄准。15.A根据倒数第三段中“As the dusk approaches and waves near”(随着暮色临近,海浪临近)可推知答案。set落下;shine闪耀;rise上升;burn燃烧。
