44、t of our Ford. The next morning, we had to drive three and a half hours to find a hotel that had an available room. Only later, in the local newspaper, did we see photographs of the destruction. Our house had been consumed by the fire along with most of our neighborhood. How are we going to rebuild

45、after this? I thought, rounding a corner in the sidewalk on my walk back to the hotel. Is it even possible? I noticed something up aheada pair of nickels, shining like precious jewels. They were just nickels, but they somehow felt special. I bent down and picked them up. If these were lucky coins, I

46、 could use all the luck I could get. A few days later, I made a trip to the store to buy essentials. The enormous task of replacing everything wed lost put a heavy weight on me. I was about to leave when I felt the urge to stop and turn my head to the right. I could hardly believe itthere on nickela

47、 shelf, was a nickel! Okay, maybe this is more than luck, I thought and put the nickel in my pocket. I told myself that I had found the nickels just by chance. Then I found one next to my plate at a restauranton Thanksgiving, no less, when I was missing our house more than ever. It seemed that a nic

Once, my change for a quick lunch was given entirely in nickels. “Im sorry,” the cashier said. “Its all we have.” Its all I

49、 needed! One day, I was sitting at the desk when my phone rang.

53、 A【解析】【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。讲述了作者住了28年的房子被大火摧毁，住在外面的酒店。偶然捡到2枚镍币，后来作者发现每当她精神一落千丈时就会出现镍币的故事。24题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第二段中“On that night, we had to leave our house and sleep in the back seat of our Ford.(那天晚上，我们不得不离开家，睡在福特的后座上。)”可知，野火过后，他们是在车上过了一夜。故选A。【25题详解】词义猜测题。根据文章第七段中“Whenever I reached my breaking point, Id find a

54、nother nickel.(每当我达到临界点时，我就会发现另一个镍。)和“Then I found one next to my plate at a restauranton Thanksgiving, no less, when I was missing our house more than ever”（感恩节那天，我在一家餐馆的盘子旁边发现了一个，我比以往任何时候都更想念我们的房子。）”推断可知，每次有低落情绪（通过想家情节推出）时，就会出现镍币。划线单词plummeted大意为心情低落，心凉。故选D。【26题详解】推理判断题。根据第四段“If these were lucky c

55、oins, I could use all the luck I could get.(如果这些是幸运币，我可以用我能得到的所有运气。)”以及下文作者收到房产中介电话要带她去看房子，可以看出作者捡到硬币对作者来说是困难时期的希望。故选B。【27题详解】推理判断题。根据文章中作者总是在她心情低落时捡到镍币可以推测，接下来作者可能在车道上，户外阳光下看到了2枚镍币，这和第四段“I noticed something up aheada pair of nickels, shining like precious jewels.(我注意到前方有东西一对镍币，像珍贵的珠宝一样闪闪发光。)”第一次发现镍

56、币的情节前后呼应。故选A。COf the more than 3,000 species of mosquitoes in the world, just a small number specialize in sucking human blood. How mosquitoes track us down so effectively isnt currently known, but it matters, since they carry dangerous diseases which may cause death. “In fact, stopping these annoyi

57、ng insects in their tracks could save up to half a million lives lost to those diseases each year,” said Carolyn Gauff, a professor of ecology and evolutionary biology at the Princeton Neuroscience Institute. Thats why Gauffs team wants to understand how they find and target humans. Mosquitoes mostl

58、y choose what to bite based on odor (气味). Knowing how a potentially disease-carrying mosquito finds a person, while ignoring other warm-blooded animals, is a key question. But its not easy to answer, since any animal smell is made up of hundreds of chemicals mixed together in specific percentage. “T

59、he actual chemicals that are found in human odor are basically the same as the chemicals found in animal odorits the percentages and the relative large amount of those substances in human mixtures thats unique,” said Gauff. To investigate, researchers decided to record neural activity in the brain o

60、f mosquitoes while exposing them to natural human and animal odor samples. They collected odor samples from about 40 different animals. When they compared some of those with the 16 human samples, something jumped out. Decanal is particularly rich in human skin. Common in the natural world, in humans

61、, decanal comes from another, more complex substance. When one component of our skins natural oils, sapienic acid, breaks down, decanal is left over. This acid is only found in human beings. Its what likely leads to the high levels of decanal that help the mosquitoes smell their way to us. Understan

62、ding what the mosquitoes are targeting is only part of the story; knowing how they do it is also important. To see exactly how mosquitoes use this sense, scientists used genetically modified (转基因的) mosquitoes so that they could cut open mosquitoes heads and watch neurons firing when theyre exposed t

63、o human and animal odors. The research team already knew that mosquitoes have about 60 different types of neurons that sense odors, so when they looked in the insects brains, they thought they might see a lot of activity. But it was surprisingly quiet, meaning that the signal was perhaps quite simpl

64、e, down to just a couple types of neurons. “One type of neuron responded really strongly to both humans and animals. Another type of neuron responded to bothbut it responded much more strongly to humans than animals,” Gauff said. How to keep mosquitoes decanal signal from being transmitted will be t

65、he research teams next focus. Gauff hoped their current work could be used to make mosquito killers and attractants to prevent disease.28. Whats the final purpose of the research conducted by Gauffs team?A. To study why only certain mosquitoes suck human blood.B. To investigate the neural activity i

66、n mosquitoes brains.C. To help prevent deadly diseases caused by mosquitoes.D. To test the effectiveness of mosquito killers.29. To which substance(s) would mosquitoes mostly be attracted?A. Natural oil from human skin.B. Chemicals in the environment.C. Decanal generated in human blood.D. Remains of

67、 decomposed sapienic acid.30. What can we learn from the passage?A. Most mosquito neurons are not involved in responding to human odor.B. Genetically modified mosquitoes are not sensitive to human odor.C. Further research will focus on odor signal and neural connection.D. Chemicals found in human an

68、d animal odors are quite different.【答案】28. C 29. D 30. A【解析】【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了一队研究人员想通过研究蚊子为什么叮咬某一类人，找到阻止它们叮咬人类的策略，预防文字叮咬引起的致命疾病。【28题详解】细节理解题。由第二段“In fact, stopping these annoying insects in their tracks could save up to half a million lives lost to those diseases each year,” said Carolyn Gauff, a pr

69、ofessor of ecology and evolutionary biology at the Princeton Neuroscience Institute. Thats why Gauffs team wants to understand how they find and target humans. (普林斯顿神经科学研究所的生态学和进化生物学教授Carolyn Gauff说：“事实上，阻止这些烦人的蚊子在它们的轨道上活动，每年可以挽救多达50万人因这些疾病而丧生的生命。”这就是为什么Gauff的团队想要了解蚊子如何发现和瞄准人类的原因)”和最后一段中的“Gauff hope

70、d their current work could be used to make mosquito killers and attractants to prevent disease. (Gauff希望他们目前的工作可以用于制造灭蚊剂和引诱剂，以预防疾病)”可知，Gauff最终是想帮助预防蚊子引起的致命疾病（救人性命）才进行此项研究的。故选C项。【29题详解】细节理解题。由第四段中的“Decanal is particularly rich in human skin. (癸醛在人体皮肤中特别丰富)”和“When one component of our skins natural oi

71、ls, sapienic acid, breaks down, decanal is left over. This acid is only found in human beings. Its what likely leads to the high levels of decanal that help the mosquitoes smell their way to us. (当我们皮肤的天然油脂中的一种成分智人酸分解时，就会剩下癸酸。这种酸只存在于人身上。这很可能导致高水平的癸醛，帮助蚊子嗅到它们的气味)”可知，癸酸是智人酸分解后的残留物，蚊子通过癸醛（智人酸分解后的残留物）找到

72、人类，所以蚊子最喜欢癸醛（智人酸分解后的残留物）。故选D项。【30题详解】推理判断题。由倒数第二段中的“The research team already knew that mosquitoes have about 60 different types of neurons that sense odors, so when they looked in the insects brains, they thought they might see a lot of activity. But it was surprisingly quiet, meaning that the sign

73、al was perhaps quite simple, down to just a couple types of neurons. “One type of neuron responded really strongly to both humans and animals. Another type of neuron responded to bothbut it responded much more strongly to humans than animals,” Gauff said. (研究团队已经知道，蚊子有大约60种不同类型的神经元来感知气味，所以当他们观察蚊子的大脑

113、affect seems to be a key predictor of young adult success across several important areas of functioning.(积极情感还可以预测自我价值感和工作能力的提高，这表明，总体而言，积极情感似乎是青年人在几个重要功能领域取得成功的关键预测因素。)”也是积极影响的好处，also表明和选项是并列关系，都在讲好处。故选D项。【39题详解】上文“But what about the effects of negative affect? The researchers also examined whether

114、 negative affect would predict problems in young adulthood.”（但是负面影响的影响呢？研究人员还研究了负面影响是否会预测年轻成年期的问题。）可知在探究负面影响的预测。下文“Thus, the important takeaway is that adolescent positive affect may have powerful links to important life outcomes in the domains of personal well-being, career, and social relationship

115、s up to a decade later.(因此，重要的一点是，青少年的积极影响可能与十年后个人幸福、职业和社会关系领域的重要生活结果有着密切的联系。)可知，下文在强调积极影响与生活的关联。F项“与积极影响不同，负面影响不会与以后的生活结果有任何显著关联。”承接上文探究负面影响的测试结果，引起下文对于积极影响对于生活影响的进一步说明。故选F。第三部分：书面表达(共两节，32 分) 第一节(共 4 小题;第 40、41 题各 2 分，第 42 题 3 分，第 43 题 5 分,共 12 分) 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。 The other day I
