Now, thanks to a great invention called Scrubba Wash Pack, that worry may be a thing of the past.The portable washing machine was invented by Ash Newland in 2010, while planning to climb Mt Kilimanjaro. Struck by the limited

27、 packing space, he got inspiration from traditional washboards to create a bag that could be used to clean clothes. Then he quitted his career as a lawyer and focused on perfecting the bags design. By 2012, the bag was ready for the public. It weighed only 180 grams and required very little storage

28、space, making it perfect for anyone wishing to travel light.Not surprisingly, the bag worth 55 dollars was an instant hit with travelers, university students and even passengers. However, Newland was not satisfied. He still saw a flaw with his inventiondirty clothes had to be carried around in a sep

29、arate bag! The recently introduced Scrubba Wash Pack solves that problem.In order to make the pack active, dirty clothes are placed inside the bag along with two to three liters of water. The bag is then shut tightly to ensure all air is squeezed out and the clothes are massaged for a few minutes. A

30、fter a quick wash, they are clean and ready to be dried. According to Newland, the pack can clean anything from jeans to smelly socks! Whats even more amazing is that with a capacity to hold 13 liters of water, it can be used to wash more clothes at a time.The best part is that the 99dollar pack tha

31、t will be available for sale later this year, only weighs 300 grams and is completely foldable, making it easy to store when its not in use. With the Scrubba Wash Pack, wandering through foreign cities searching for a washing shop, or paying for washing machines may soon be a thing of the past!本文讲述了

32、Scrubba Wash Pack的发明过程以及功能。24What led Ash Newland to create the Scrubba Wash Pack?AHis job requirements. BA traditional washboard.CHis interest in invention. DHis personal experience.答案：D解析：细节理解题。根据第二段第一句和第二句可知Ash Newland计划攀登乞力马扎罗山时便捷式洗衣机便在2010年被发明出来，在有限的包装空间中得到启示，他从传统的洗衣板获得灵感，创建了一个可以用来清洁衣服的仓。25Why

33、wasnt Ash Newland satisfied with his former invention?AClothes couldnt be washed well.BThe invention was not so convenient.CThe bag couldnt contain enough water.DThe cost of the invention was very high.答案：B解析：细节理解题。根据第三段However，Newland was not satisfied.

35、e development of backpack.CListing some common problems for travelers.DComparing two kinds of washing machines.答案：A解析：主旨大意题。本文讲述了Scrubba Wash Pack的发明过程以及功能。CIf a woman has an extra piece of cake, dont blame it on greed, blame it on her brain.Scientists have found that womens brains react to food ver

36、y differentlyand much more strongly than mens. Academics found that decades of dieting pressure on women and advertising have programmed certain parts of the female brain to react strongly when faced with any kind of food. Men, on the other hand, are not usually as obsessive (着迷的) about what they ea

37、t.Dr Rudolf Uher and his colleagues at the Institute of Psychiatry in Kings College London used brain scanning technology, known as functional magnetic resonance imaging (FMRI：功能性磁共振成像), to look at the brains of eighteen men and women.The volunteers were given images of food to look at, as well as f

38、ood to taste. Their brain reactions were observed by the scientists.They found that the female brains reacted much more strongly than those of males.The same reaction did not happen when they were shown nonfood images. The team believe this means women think more about food than men tend to do.Dr Uh

39、er said, “This could be related to biological differences between men and women. But the more likely explanation is that women have a more complicated reaction to food because of social pressure.”Professor Carey Cooper, psychology and health professor at Lancaster University, said, “For centuries wo

40、men have had a providing rolepreparing and cooking food for their families. And its part of that role to make sure the food is safe. They will therefore be much more sensitive to food than men are, and I would not be surprised if that was now built into their DNA. If the female brain reacts to food

41、because it historically has developed neural (神经的) pathways to do this, then food will be the way they express their stress. Food actually, is a comfort for women.”But other experts have said that more research must be done before the results can be proved. An American scientist Angelo del Parigi of

42、 the John B. Pierce Laboratory in New Haven, Connecticut, said, “Looking at an FMRI alone cannot make sure whether the stronger reaction in women is due to innate (天生的) differences or a learned process.”本文是说明文。研究表明，由于女性受到广告、社会压力等的影响及其在历史长河中为家人准备食物的角色导致食物对女性的诱惑要比男性大。28Dr Uher and his colleagues carri

43、ed out the research by comparing _.AFMRIs effectiveness on women and menBwomens and mens reaction to different imagesCvolunteers reaction to food before and after mealsDvolunteers reaction to different kinds of food答案：B解析：细节理解题。根据第四段“The volunteers were given images of food to look at.”，第五段“They fou

44、nd that the female brains reacted much more strongly than those of males.”及第六段中的“The same reaction did not happen when they were shown nonfood images.”可知，Uher博士比较了男性和女性在面对不同图片时大脑的反应是否一样。29In Dr Uhers opinion, women react more strongly to food than men most probably because they are _.Atold to do so

45、for a long timeBinfluenced by advertisementsCforced by powerful social influencesDborn to do so due to biological reasons答案：C解析：细节理解题。根据倒数第三段中的“But the more likely explanation is that women have a more complicated reaction to food because of social pressure.”可知答案。30According to Professor Carey Coope

46、r, women _.Aturn to food when they feel sadBare stressed because of food safetyCaccept their social role from the heartDare satisfied with preparing food for their families答案：A解析：推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“food will be the way they express their stress. Food actually, is a comfort for women.”可知，食物可以带给女性安慰，因此女性

47、伤心难过的时候会吃东西。31What was Angelo del Parigis attitude towards the research results?ASurprised. BDoubtful.CUninterested. DCurious.答案：B解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Looking at an FMRI alone cannot make sure whether.”可以看出，Angelo del Parigi认为仅靠FMRI是不能确定女性对食物的强烈反应是天生的还是后天学习的，故可知他对研究结果持怀疑的态度。DWhen a Colorado mom sent he

48、r daughter Natalee to school with Oreos in her lunch box, her 4yearold returned home with the cookies uneatenand a letter from her school saying the family needs to pack healthier lunches.“We noticed until the last minute that we ran out of fruit or we would have put that in it instead，” the 22yearo

49、ld mom said.Shocked by the letter, which stated that students need to have a “nutritious lunch” and snacks that dont include chips or fruit snacks, Pearson vented (发泄) online and said she was surprised to see the outrage (愤怒) it generated on social media.Critics called the letter “ridiculous” and Pe

51、 complaint，” she said, adding that she thought it was odd to get a notice like this so close to the end of the school year.“Three weeks left of school, and were just now hearing about this？” she said.But in general, Pearson said she does try to make Natalees meals healthy. That day, the girls lunch

52、also included string cheese and a sandwich.“Were not the parents that send junk food every day. She has a full, healthy lunch，” Pearson said. “And this was Friday! Why not give her a special treat？”Natalee is a student at the Childrens Academy in Aurora, which is a private school but part of the pub

53、lic school districts preschool program. Patti Moon, the media specialist for Aurora Public Schools, admits her district doesnt oversee (监管) the academy effectively.Pearson said she contacted the school on Monday but hasnt been able to get through to the director. A person who answered the phone at t

54、he school declined to provide his name or a comment when reached by TODAY.com.学校写信给家长，说不能让孩子带奥利奥(饼干品牌)作为午餐，为此引发了家长和社会的不满。这是为什么呢？32The letter to Natalees parents from the school _.Awas generally accepted by societyBcaused strong dissatisfaction of the publicCwas just a common practice of the schoolDc

55、aused the publics attention to childrens health答案：B解析：细节理解题。根据第三至五段可知，这封信引起了公众的强烈不满。33Pearson tends to indicate that the school _.Ahas a bad educational levelBmust make an apology to herCis not responsible to their pupilsDis unwilling to give any response答案：D解析：推理判断题。从文章最后一段可知，该校负责人拒绝回应此事件。34What do

56、 you know about Pearson?AShe thinks Oreos is a healthy food for children.BShe gives her daughter Oreos for lunch every Friday.CThere being no fruit left, she put Oreos in the lunch box.DWith the district officials help she contacted the school.答案：C解析：细节理解题。根据第二、八段可知，她并非经常给孩子带奥利奥作为午餐，这次是因为临时发现没有水果了，才

57、用奥利奥代替的；其余说法与内容不符或没有依据。35We can infer that after the event, _.Athe number of students of the school will decreaseBPearson will pay attention to her daughters nutritionCthe district will improve their management over schoolsDmore parents will put Oreos in their childrens lunch boxes答案：C解析：推理判断题。根据倒数第

58、二段可得出这样的推断，即该地区有关部门将加强对学校的监督和管理。第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。Fast food is cheap, convenient and to many of us it tastes good.

On the

76、 steps of one building, a group of engineering students were waiting for the last exam. On their faces _56_ (be) confidence. They knew they would have no _57_ (difficult) passing it. The professor had said they could bring any books or notes during the test.Right after they came into the classroom,

77、the professor handed out the papers, on _58_ were only five questions.Three hours passed. Then the professor began to collect the papers. No longer did the students look confident. The professor watched the _59_ (worry) faces before him, and then asked, “How many of you have completed all five quest

78、ions？” No hand was raised. “Who has answered four？” Still no hands. “Three? Two？” The students moved _60_ (nervous) in their seats. “One, then? Certainly somebody has finished one.” But the class kept _61_ (silence). The professor said, “That is exactly _62_ I expected. I just want to make _63_ clea

79、r that even though you have completed four years of engineering, there are still many things about the subject you dont know.” Then, _64_ (smile), he added, “You will all pass this course, _65_ remember that your education has just begun.”通过一次特殊的大学期末考试，教授告诉同学们，学无止境。56was解析：该句使用了完全倒装，主语是confidence，谓语

81、形容词作表语，故填silence的形容词形式silent。62what解析：what I expected是表语从句，what在从句中作expected的宾语。63it解析：it在句中作形式宾语，真正的宾语是后面的that从句。64smiling解析：smiling是现在分词作状语，表示伴随情况或方式，smile与逻辑主语he之间是主动关系。65but解析：前后两个分句之间意义上存在转折关系，故用but连接。第四部分写作(共两节，满分40分)第一节：应用文写作(满分15分)假设你是新华中学的学生李华，得知某英文报社招聘兼职记者，你有意应聘，请按下列要点给报社写一封自荐信。1表示对应聘兼职记者感
