37、er theres life on other planets. Scientists may now be closer than ever to answering this question. Using powerful telescopes, a team of astronomers in South America discovered a new planet, called Proxima b. It circles a star named Proxima Centauri, in the same way Earth circles the sun. Proxima Ce

38、ntauri is the closest star to our solar system. Scientists believe the new planet has a rocky surface and is similar in size to Earth. More important, theyve determined that the distance between Proxima b and its “sun” gives the planet a similar temperature to Earths. This means it could have liquid

39、 water. The presence of water on a planet makes it possible for life to exist there. Scientists refer to planets like Proxima b as “Goldilocks planets” because they are not too hot or too cold, but just right to possibly support life. Astronomers have found other Goldilocks planets in the past, but

40、none are as close to Earth as Proxima b. Still, the new planet is 4. 2 light years from Earththat is about 25 trillion miles away.

Researchers have found that sleep loss increases a persons risk of developing serious medical conditions. Now

47、, a new study has found that getting enough sleep is also the key to improving academic performance. Jeffrey Grossman, who led the research, was not trying to find the correlation (相关性) between sleep and grades when he handed out Fitbits to the students in his class. Instead, the professor hoped the

48、 popular wrist-worn electronic device (装置), which tracks a persons activity 24/7, would show a connection between physical exercise and academic achievement. As part of the research, a quarter of the participants chose a fitness class specially created for the study. After the school term ended, the

49、 researchers carefully analysed the data. Much to Grossmans surprise, they found no measurable difference in test performance between the group that had been physically active and the group that had not. However, the study presented a surprising viewpoint in the journal Science of Learning. Going th

50、rough the large amount of data, Grossman noticed an interesting trend from the participants sleep patterns. There was a straight-line relationship between the average amount of sleep and his/her grade on the exams. Besides, it was not enough for students to just head to bed early the night before a

51、test. Grossman says, “Weve heard the phrase Get a good nights sleep; youve got a big day tomorrow. It turns out this does not relate at all to test performance. Instead, its the sleep you get during the days when learning is happening that matters most. ”The time students went to bed each night was

52、similarly important. Those who went to bed in the early hours of the morning performed poorly, even if the total sleep time was the same as a higher-performing student. The research does not prove that sleep is the only component that helps improve academic performance. However, Grossman says the re

53、sults are a strong indication that sleep really matters. Who knew getting As just required some extra ZZZs? 【文章大意】这是一篇说明文。本文主要叙述了研究发现睡眠不仅对人的身体有好处, 充足的睡眠也是提高学习成绩的关键。28. Whats Grossmans original purpose by using Fitbits in the research? A. To improve students sleep patterns. B. To regulate students da

54、ily behavior. C. To monitor students physical condition. D. To find effects of physical exercise on grades. 【解析】选D。细节理解题。根据第二段中“相反, 这位教授希望这款广受欢迎的腕式电子装置能够显示出体育锻炼和学术成就之间的联系。腕式电子装置可以全天候追踪一个人的活动。”可知, 格罗斯曼在研究中使用Fitbits的最初目的是想发现体育锻炼对成绩的影响。29. What did Grossman think of the research result? A. It was unexp

55、ected. B. It was changeable. C. It was unreliable. D. It was fruitless. 【解析】选A。推理判断题。根据第三段中“令格罗斯曼大为惊讶的是, 他们发现, 在运动组和非运动组之间, 测试成绩并没有显著差异。”可知, 格罗斯曼认为研究结果是出乎意料的。30. What plays a more important part in test performance? A. Sleep in the learning stage. B. Average amount of sleep during tests. C. Sleep qu

56、ality the night before the test. D. A regular bedtime. 【解析】选A。细节理解题。根据第五段中格罗斯曼说的话可知, 在学习阶段的睡眠在考试成绩中起着更重要的作用。31. What is the best title for the text? A. Be Physically Active and Sleep MoreB. Enough Sleep Benefits Our WellbeingC. Catch ZZZs for Good Test PerformanceD. The More Exercise, the Better Sch

57、oolwork【解析】选B。主旨大意题。本文主要叙述了研究发现睡眠不仅对人的身体有好处, 充足的睡眠也是提高学习成绩的关键。因此, 本文的最佳标题应该是“充足的睡眠有益于我们的健康”。D (2020南昌高二检测)It is a question that has long puzzled scientistsexactly why are tigers orange? One might think it makes them more obviousparticularly against a leafy green forest background. William Blake summ

58、ed it up in his famous poem known by generations of schoolchildren: “Tyger, tyger, burning bright / In the forest of the night. ” But now the answer is at hand. While obvious to us, computer simulations (模拟) of what the big cats look to the main animals they hunt for, deer, show a different picture.

59、 Humans with normal colour vision, can see red, blue and green colours. But deer can only pick up blue and green light, they are effectively colour blind to the colour red, like some humans. It means the tigers orange colouration looks green to them, allowing them to mix perfectly into the backgroun

60、d, new research claims. Dr John Fennell at the University of Bristol and colleagues said that they used computers to estimate how noticeable a given animal was. They did this by using images of the environment in which the animal lives, and then creating images to see whether the camouflage helps th

61、e animal to mix in. Dr Fennell writes that by simulating what the world looks like to animals who are “two-colour vision” someone who cannot discover the difference between red and green“we also identify the most suitable colours for hiding and visibility”. Dr Fennell writes in the Royal Society Jou

62、rnal Inter face: “Considering the coat of a tiger, it has fur that appears orange to a three-colour vision observer rather than some shade of green, though the latter should be more appropriate color for an attack hunter in forests. However, when viewed as a two-colour vision observer, the tigers co

63、lour is very effective. ”The question then arises as to why tigers dont grow green coats. Dr Fennell and colleagues write that mammals (哺乳动物) are not able to produce green fur. To do so would “require a significant change to mammalian biochemistry”. There is only one mammal known to have green fur b

64、ut this is achieved through what might be considered as, well, cheating, not exactly real. 【文章大意】这是一篇说明文。为什么老虎是橙色的? 这个长期困扰科学家的问题终于被破解了。32. Why does the author mention the poem in Paragraph 1? A. To arouse readers interest in poems. B. To show the authors respect to the poet. C. To answer the questio

65、n of the color of the tiger. D. To stress the noticeable color of the tiger to us. 【解析】选D。推理判断题。根据第一段内容可知, 这是一个长期困扰科学家的问题为什么老虎是橙色的? 有人可能会认为这让它们变得更加显眼尤其是在茂密的绿色森林背景下。所以通过提到英国诗人威廉布莱克的一首诗的内容可以判断出, 此处是为了例证文章开头的陈述对于我们人类来说, 老虎的颜色太显眼了。33. What color is inexistent in the eyes of deer? A. Black. B. Red. C. Bl

66、ue. D. Green. 【解析】选B。细节理解题。根据第二段内容可知, 在鹿的眼中是没有红色系的颜色。34. What does the underlined word “camouflage” mean in Paragraph 3? A. The cover of something. B. The images of something. C. The way of hiding something. D. The way of hunting for something. 【解析】选C。词义猜测题。根据第三段内容可知, 他们通过使用动物所处环境的图像来做到这一点, 然后创建图像来观

67、察伪装方式是否有助于动物分不清它们。所以通过上下文的语境可以判断出, camouflage一词是指“隐藏的方式”。35. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. The colour of tigers sometimes cheats people. B. Getting green may prevent tigers from being extinct. C. There are no mammals with real green fur in the world. D. The tigers fur will probabl

68、y evolve into green in the future. 【解析】选C。推理判断题。根据最后一段可知, 哺乳动物无法长出绿色皮毛。世上已知的哺乳动物中只有一种有绿色皮毛但却是通过被认为可能是欺骗的手段才实现的, 不是真正的绿色。所以通过关键词are not able to produce green fur和cheating, not exactly real可推断出, 世界上没有绿色皮毛的哺乳动物。【方法技巧】抓住特定信息进行逆向或者正向推理。做此类试题要善于抓住某一段话中的关键信息, 即某些关键词或短语去分析、推理、判断, 利用逆向思维或正面推理, 从而推断出这句话所隐含的深层

69、含义。本小题, 根据最后一段中的 mammals are not able to produce green fur. 以及There is only one mammal known to have green fur but this is achieved through what might be considered as, well, cheating, not exactly real. 可知, 哺乳动物无法长出绿色皮毛。世上已知的哺乳动物中只有一种有绿色皮毛但却是通过被认为可能是欺骗的手段才实现的, 不是真正的绿色。所以通过关键词are not able to produce

70、green fur和cheating, not exactly real可推断出, 世界上没有绿色皮毛的哺乳动物。故选C。第二节(共5小题; 每小题2分, 满分10分)根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项, 选项中有两项为多余选项。(2020成都高二检测)From an early stage in your life, you are taught to respect others, and do kind things for them.

77、一些情况下, 人们就开始利用你的善良的天性, 从你那儿获取更多。), 这些人和F项指的那些只从你那儿获取而不付出的, 并且也不尊重你的人属于同一类人, 故选F。37. 【解析】选C。根据前两句话可知, 是社会和文化压力让你觉得跟别人说“不”是粗鲁的, 你可能也会觉得你的工作没有别人的工作有价值, 不值得被认可, 因此, 这些事情就会让你觉得你对别人的好是应该的, 是理所当然的, 故C项符合语境。38. 【解析】选G。根据后一句的关键词It can also help you. . . 以及本段的第一句Identify what has changed in the relationship.

78、可知, G项Whatever the cause is, identifying what has changed your interactions with the other person can help you feel better. 符合语境。39. 【解析】选A。根据后两句中的关键词you dont want和what do you want 可知, 本段是讨论你想要的东西, 故选A。40. 【解析】选D。根据上文可知, 你很难看到你所处环境的变化, 也不知道怎么去改善, 因此接下来就是告诉你如何去做; 再根据后句“一旦你清楚地了解了这段关系的变化, 你就能采取更好的行动把你带

79、到那里。”可知, 前一句是涉及关系的变化, 故D项“试着列出你想看到的关系的变化。”承接上下文。第三部分语言知识运用(共两节, 满分45分)第一节(共20小题; 每小题1. 5分, 满分30分)阅读下面短文, 从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中, 选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。My brother and I were in Orlando Florida to witness our first Space Shuttle Launch.
