20、he world, except in Antarctica and a few remote islands. Over their 50 million years of evolution, bats have developed clever solutions to lifes challenges, from a built-in sonar (声呐) system for finding food to fast, flexible wings that produce the fastest level-flight speed of any animal on Earth.“

21、There is still a lot to learn, but it is clear that bats really do have superpowers,” says Rodrigo Medelln, an ecologist. “Bats are showing us how to live a better life, for instance, by serving as models for healthy living and long lives.”As a general rule in biology, smaller animals have shorter l

22、ives than larger ones. But bats are rule breakers: theyre the longest-lived mammals (哺乳动物) relative to their body size. Recently, scientists looked inside bats cells for the secrets to their exceptionally long lives. They focused on telomeres (端粒), which are the protective structures found at the en

23、ds of chromosomes (染色体). In most animals, telomeres tend to get shorter with age. But the telomeres of the longest-lived group of bats, Myotis, do not appear to shrink (收缩) with age. Understanding why bats live so long may help humans live longer one day.In addition to living longer, bats remain hea

24、lthy throughout their lives, with very low risk of developing cancer. Furthermore, bats can carry deadly viruses without getting sick. So further research into their unique immune (免疫的) systems may actually give insight into how people can live with viruses and not get sick.Beyond their own abilitie

25、s bats also support many other parts of their ecosystems. Three out of every four bat species eat insects. Many are pests that cause damage to important agricultural crops, such as cotton. Scientists estimate that insect-eating bats may save U.S. farmers about 1 billion per year. In addition, many b

26、at species help improve plant health and diversity.“Bats are unsung heroes of biodiversity,” says Medelln. “Its about time we appreciated them.”4. What can be learned about bats from the text?A. They fly the fastest of all land animals.B. They are at low risk of falling sick with a virus.C. They liv

27、e mainly on the islands of Antarctica.D. They are the longest-lived animals given their size.5. What did scientists recently find?A. Animals telomeres rarely shrink with age.B. Myotiss telomeres do not shorten as they age.C. Smaller animals usually live shorter lives than larger ones.D. More researc

28、h into bat telomeres could help people live more healthily.6. What is the authors intention in writing the last paragraph but one?A. To show what bats feed on.B. To call on people to protect bats.C. To explain how bats benefit the farmers.D. To highlight the importance of bats to the ecosystem.7. Wh

29、at would be a suitable title for this text?A. Bats Offer Clues to Treating DiseasesB. How Bats Deal with Lifes ChallengesC. Scientists Unlock the Secrets to Long LivesD. Why Bats Are Superheroes of the Animal World【答案】4. B5. B6. D7. D【解析】【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文介绍了蝙蝠是健康生活和长寿的榜样，它们独特的免疫功能可以让人类深入了解人们如何与病毒共存而不生病

30、。【4题详解】推理判断题。根据倒数第三段“Furthermore, bats can carry deadly viruses without getting sick.So further research into their unique immune(免疫的) systems may actually give insight into how people can live with viruses and not get sick. (此外，蝙蝠可以携带致命病毒而不会生病。因此，对它们独特的免疫系统的进一步研究可能会让我们深入了解人类如何与病毒共存而不生病)”可知，蝙蝠有独特的免疫

31、系统，虽然携带致命病毒但不会生病。因此，从课文中了解到关于蝙蝠的是B项“They are at low risk of falling sick with a virus.(它们感染病毒的风险很低)”符合题意，故选B项。【5题详解】细节理解题。根据第四段“But the telomeres of the longest-lived group of bats, Myotis, do not appear to shrink (收缩) with age.(但寿命最长的蝙蝠Myotis的端粒似乎不会随着年龄的增长而收缩)”可知，Myotis的端粒似乎不会随着年龄的增长而收缩。故选B项。【6题详解】

32、推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Beyond their own abilities, bats also support many other parts of their ecosystemsIn addition, many bat species help improve plant health and diversity.( 除了自身能力之外，蝙蝠还支持其生态系统的许多其他部分此外，许多蝙蝠物种有助于改善植物健康和多样性)”和最后一段“Bats are unsung heroes of biodiversity,” says Medelln. “Its about time we ap

33、preciated them.”(“蝙蝠是生物多样性的无名英雄，”麦德林说，“现在是我们欣赏它们的时候了。”)”可知，蝙蝠对生态系统非常重要，因此，作者写最后一段的意图是D项“To highlight the importance of bats to the ecosystem. (强调蝙蝠对生态系统的重要性)”符合题意，故选D项。【7题详解】主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据倒数第二段“Beyond their own abilities, bats also support many other parts of their ecosystemsIn addition, many bat

34、species help improve plant health and diversity.( 除了自身能力之外，蝙蝠还支持其生态系统的许多其他部分此外，许多蝙蝠物种有助于改善植物健康和多样性)”和最后一段“Bats are unsung heroes of biodiversity,” says Medelln. “Its about time we appreciated them.”(“蝙蝠是生物多样性的无名英雄，”麦德林说，“现在是我们欣赏它们的时候了”)”可知，本文介绍了蝙蝠是健康生活和长寿的榜样，它们独特的免疫功能可以让人类深入了解人们如何与病毒共存而不生病。除了自身能力之外，

35、蝙蝠还支持其生态系统的许多其他部分，可见，蝙蝠对生态系统非常重要，是动物世界的超级英雄。因此，这篇文章的合适标题是D项“Why Bats Are Superheroes of the Animal World(为什么蝙蝠是动物世界的超级英雄)”符合题意，故选D项。CUp and down the economic ladder, many Americans who workand especially those raising kidsare pressed for time, wishing they had more of it to devote to leisure activit

36、ies (or even just sleeping). At the same time, research has indicated that people who are busy tend to be happier than those who are idle, whether their busyness is purposeful or not.A research paper released late last year investigated this trade-off, attempting to pinpoint (精确指出) how much leisure

37、time is best. Its authors examined the relationship between the amount of “discretionary time” people hadbasically, how much time people spend awake and doing what they wantand how pleased they were with their lives.The paper, which analyzed data covering about 35,000 Americans, found that employed

38、peoples ratings of their satisfaction with life peaked when they had in the neighborhood of two and a half hours of free time a day. For people who didnt work, the optimal (最佳) amount was four hours and 45 minutes.The research traced a correlation (关联) between free time and life satisfaction, but di

39、dnt provide any definitive (最后的) insight into what underlies that correlation“which is exciting, because this is a work in progress,” says Cassie Mogilner Holmes, a professor at UCLAs Anderson School of Management and a co-author of the paper, which hasnt yet been peer-reviewed or published in an ac

40、ademic journal.An experiment that the researchers arranged hinted at (暗示) a possible explanation of the correlation they found. They asked participants to picture and describe what it would be like to have a certain amount of daily free time, and then report how theyd feel about that allotment (分配).

41、 “What we find is that having too little time makes people feel stressed, and maybe thats obvious,” says Holmes. “But interestingly, that effect goes awaythe role of stress goes awayonce you approach the optimal point.” After that point, Holmes says, the subjects started to say they felt less produc

42、tive overall, which could explain why having a lot of free time can feel like having too much free time.Its not clear what an individual is to do with these findings, since the amount of free time people have usually has something to do with a variety of factors, such as having children or a degree

43、of control over work schedules. Holmes shared her research with the MBA students in her class on happiness, and some of the most time-crunched among them were comforted by the findings: “I think that two and a half hours creates a nice goal that even if you increase a little bit more of your discret

44、ionary time use, you can expect that it will translate into greater life satisfaction.”8. According to the passage, what happens to Americans occupied with their work?A. They allow themselves more leisure time.B. They keep themselves busy on purpose.C. They know how much leisure time is best.D. They

45、 experience higher level of satisfaction.9. What can be learned about the correlation between free time and life satisfaction?A. Researchers have cast light on the cause of the correlation.B. Unemployed people need more leisure time to feel content.C. The paper on the correlation has achieved peer r

46、ecognition.D. Employed people enjoy more leisure time in the neighborhood.10. Which of the following charts illustrates the change of stress and productivity?A. B. C. D. 11. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that _.A. Holmes is optimistic about the influence of her findingsB. individuals ar

47、e encouraged to control their work schedulesC. people with tight schedules cant benefit from the findingsD. the MBA students find no free time to obtain life satisfaction【答案】8. D9. B10. D11. A【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了研究发现忙碌的人往往比闲着的人生活满意度更高，所需要的休闲时间更少，研究者对这一研究对人们的影响持积极的态度。【8题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段中的“research has

48、indicated that people who are busy tend to be happier than those who are idle, whether their business is purposeful or not.”可知，研究表明, 忙碌的人往往比闲着的人更快乐，也就是说忙于工作的美国人的满意度更高，故D项正确。【9题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段中的“found that employed peoples ratings of their satisfaction with life peaked when they had in the neighborhoo

49、d of two and a half hours of free time a day. For people who didnt work, the optimal (最佳) amount was four hours and 45 minutes.”可知，有工作的人满意的休息时间是两个半小时，而不工作的人满意的休息时间则是4小时45分钟，也就是说不工作的人需要更多的休闲时间来感到满足，故B项正确。【10题详解】推理判断题。根据第五段中的“What we find is that having too little time makes people feel stressed,and m

50、aybe thats obvious,” says Holmes. “But interestingly, that effect goes awaythe role of stress goes awayonce you approach the optimal point.” After that point, Holmes says, the subjects started to say they felt less productive overall,”可知，时间太少会有压力，一旦你达到最佳状态，压力的作用就消失了，在那之后，受试者开始说他们总体上感觉效率较低，D项与这个状态变化相

51、吻合，故D项正确。【11题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Holmes shared her research with the MBA students in her class on happiness, and some of the most time-crunched among them were comforted by the findings: “I think that two and a half hours creates a nice goal that even if you increase a little bit more of your discreti

52、onary time use, you can expect that it will translate into greater life satisfaction”可知，Holmes将这个研究成果分享给了她的学生，很多时间比较紧迫的学生得到了安慰，并且她说“我认为两个半小时能创造出一个很好的目标，即使你只增加一点自由支配的时间，你也可以期望它能转化为更大的生活满意度，也由此可以看出她对研究结果的影响的态度是很积极的，故A项正确。DFinancial regulations in Britain have imposed a rather unusual rule on the bosse

53、s of big banks. Starting next year, any guaranteed bonus of top executives could be delayed 10 years if their banks are under investigation for wrongdoing. The main purpose of this “clawback” rule is to hold bankers responsible for harmful risk-taking and to restore public trust in financial institu

54、tion. Yet officials also hope for a much larger benefit: more long-term decision-making not only by banks but also by all corporations, to build a stronger economy for future generations. “Short-termism” or the desire for quick profits, has worsened in publicly traded companies, says the Bank of Eng

55、lands top economist, Andrew Haldane. He quotes a giant of classical economies, Alfred Marshall, in describing this financial impatience as acting like “Children who pick the strawberries out of their pudding to eat them at once” rather than putting them aside to be eaten last. The average time for h

56、olding a stock in both the United States and Britain, he notes, has dropped from seven years to seven months in recent decades. Transient (短期的) investors, who demand high quarterly profits from companies, can hold back a firms efforts to invest in long-term research or to build up customer loyalty.

57、This has been called “quarterly capitalism”. In addition, new digital technologies have allowed more rapid trading of equities (股票), quicker use of information, and thus shortens attention spans in financial markets. “There seems to be an advantage of short-term thinking at the expense of long-term

58、investing,” said Commissioner Daniel Gallagher of the US Securities and Exchange Commission in speech this week. In the US, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 has pushed most public companies to delay performance bonuses for senior executives by about a year, slightly helping reduce “short-termism.” In

59、its latest survey of CEO pay, The Wall Street Journal finds that “a substantial part” of executive pay is now tied to performance. Much more could be done to encourage “long-termism,” such as changes in the tax code and quicker disclosure (披露) of stock acquisitions. In France, shareholders who hold

60、onto a company investment for at least two years can sometimes earn more voting rights in a company. Within companies, the right compensation design can provide motivation for executives to think beyond their own time at the company and on behalf of all shareholders. Britains new rule is a reminder

61、to bankers that society has an interest in their performance, not just for the short term but for the long term.12. One reason for imposing the new rule is the regulations _.A. enhance bankers sense of responsibilityB. help corporations achieve larger profitsC. build a new system of financial regula

62、tionD. guarantee the bonuses of top executives13. What can be learned about “Short-termism” from the passage?A. Children always pursue short-term profits by eating strawberries first.B. The influence of it on the companies can be negative in the long run.C. It will bring high profits for the company

63、, thus keeping its customers.D. Digital technology acts as a dominant contributor to its worsening.14.

66、harmful risk-taking and to restore public trust in financial institution.(这项clawback规则的主要目的是让银行家为有害的风险承担责任，并修复公众对金融机构的信任。)”可知，实施新规则的原因是要强化银行家的责任感。故选A。【13题详解】推理判断题。根据第三段第二句“Transient (短期的) investors, who demand high quarterly profits from companies, can hold back a firms efforts to invest in long-ter

67、m research or to build up customer loyalty.

There seems to be an advantag

68、e of short-term thinking at the expense of long-term investing, said Commissioner Daniel Gallagher of the US Securities and Exchange Commission in speech this week.(此外，新的数字技术使得股票交易更加迅速，信息使用更加迅速，从而缩短了金融市场的注意力。只注重短期效益的思维方式似乎有优势是以牺牲长期投资为代价，美国证券交易委员会委员Daniel Gallagher在本周的演讲中说。)”可知“Short-termism”对于公司的长期发

69、展是不利的，故选B。【14题详解】推理判断题。第五段“In the US, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 has pushed most public companies to delay performance bonuses for senior executives by about a year, slightly helping reduce short-termism. In its latest survey of CEO pay, The Wall Street Journal finds that a substantial part of e

70、xecutive pay is now tied to performance.(在美国，2002年的Sarbanes-Oxley法案已迫使多数上市公司将高管的业绩奖金推迟一年左右，这在一定程度上有助于减少短期主义。华尔街日报对CEO薪酬的最新调查发现，高管薪酬的很大一部分现在与业绩挂钩。)”以及第六段第二句“In France, shareholders who hold onto a company investment for at least two years can sometimes earn more voting rights in a company.(在法国，持有公司投资

71、至少两年的股东有时可以在公司中获得更多的投票权。)”列举了美国为减少短期主义投资和法国为了促进长期主义投资而采取的方法。再结合第六段首句“Much more could be done to encourage long-termism, such as changes in the tax code and quicker disclosure(披露)of stock acquisitions. (促进“长期主义”投资还有很多方法,比如修改税法和加快股票收购的披露。)可推断出第五、六段是以美法为例来说明促进“长期主义”投资的方法。故选C。【15题详解】主旨大意题。根据第一段第一句和最后一句“

72、Financial regulations in Britain have imposed a rather unusual rule on the bosses of big banks. .Yet officials also hope for a much larger benefit: more long-term decision-making not only by banks but also by all corporations, to build a stronger economy for future generations. (英国的金融法规对大银行的老板实施了一项相

73、当不寻常的规定。然而，官员们也希望获得更大的好处：不仅是银行，而且所有企业都能做出更长期的决策，为子孙后代建设更强大的经济。)”可知英国颁布的新规定是为了促进金融投资的“长期主义的规划”。文章尾段“Britains new rule is a reminder to bankers that society has an interest in their performance, not just for the short term but for the long term. (英国的新规定提醒银行家们，社会对他们的表现感兴趣，不仅是短期的，而且是长期的。)”再次呼应首段：英国新政府提醒

74、银行家们注重“长期主义”投资，长期的投资需要耐心（patience）。由此可知B选项“Patience as a Corporate Virtue(耐心是公司的美德)”可以概括全文，为最佳标题。故选B。第二节(共5小题，每小题2.5分)The Upside to Being OutsideResearch shows that being in nature makes people feel good, whether theyre roughing it in the wilderness for days or just hanging out at a local park for a

125、。分析句子，句中has appealed为谓语动词，设空处使用非谓语动词，representative为名词，其动词为represent，意为“代表”，more than 1500 athletes与represent之间是主动关系，故使用现在分词作后置定语。故填representing。52. _ (commit) to helping the people in need made him realize the value of life.
