Paying Powerline $50,000 a year.BProfessor Heinz Wolff, who has died aged 89, was a bioengineering pionee

19、r. He established the discipline, named it and, in a 60-year career, made significant contributions to medical research. But to the British public, he was best known as the “dotty scientist” who fronted The Great Egg Race, a BBC show in which colour-coded teams were set engineering challenges (the f

20、irst was to transport an egg in a vehicle powered by rubber bands). With his trademark bow tie, half-moon glasses and Mittel-European accent, he looked really like Professor Branestawn, as described by W. Heath Robinson. Yet while he cheerfully exploited his reputation as an “odd egghead”, he was ve

21、ry serious about his work and inspired thousands of young people to consider scientific careers.Born in Berlin in 1928, Heinz Wolff was the son of Jewish parents. His mother died in 1938, and the next year the family fled. They arrived in Britain on the day war was declared. “We really cut it rather

22、 fine,” he said on Desert Island Discs in 1998.After leaving school, he worked as a technician at the Radcliffe Infirmary in Oxford, where he invented a machine to count red blood cells, and then at the National Institute for Medical Researchs pneumoconiosis (尘肺) research unit in Cardiff, where he d

23、esigned a means of measuring dust levels in coal miners. He went on to study at University College London and graduated with a first in physics and physiology. Then, in 1983, he founded the Institute for Bioengineering at Brunel University. His particular interest was in technologies to improve the

24、lives of older people, but he was also heavily involved in space research and worked as an adviser to the European Space Agency.Wolff had made his first appearance on TV on Panorama in 1966, encouraging Richard Dimbleby to swallow a “radio pill”. On The Great Egg Race, which ran from 1979, his task

25、was to get opponent teams representing organizations such as the chemical company ICI. Challenges included building a hovercraft(气垫船) from a lawnmower(割草机), and inventing a bicycle that could ride on water. Marks were awarded for entertainment value and technical accomplishment. The show ended in th

26、e mid-l980s, but Wolff continued to judge scientific competitions, on TV and elsewhere. A natural entertainer with an inexhaustible curiosity about the world, he said hed be happy to dress up as a clown if it got children interested in science.24. What does the underlined sentence “We really cut it

27、rather fine” in paragraph 2 mean?A. We fled from Germany in time. B. We settled down at the cost of punishment. C. We led a comfortable life in Britain. D. We didnt have much time for the declaration. 25. Which of the following statements is TRUE of Heinz Wolff according to the passage? A. He used t

Which of the following can best Heinz Wolff?A. Aggressive. B. Passionate. C. Optimistic. D. Pioneering.CAmerica has long

30、been opposing adequate poverty policies because of its strong worry of thinking that the poor are responsible for their own situations, but a child poverty is too harmful and punishing to ignore. I, and a growing number of scholars, believe there is a solution: the government should give monthly cas

31、h allowances(津贴), without conditions, to every family with kids. (Higher-income families would have much of the money taxed away.)A mountain of evidence now shows that poverty can lead to cognitive(认知的) and emotional damage in children. Despite policies that have expanded access to insurance, poor k

32、ids are still less healthy than the rest of the young population. They also drop out of school at higher rates, earn less money over time and are incarcerated(监禁) far more often than their better-off peers. That should be enough for us to recognize the moral tragedy that is child poverty, but we sho

33、uld note the broad effect too: reliable analyses show that the nations GDP is up to $1 trillion lower because of child poverty.Poor children have many needs, but research shows that money may matter most. For example, a 2013 review of dozens of studies by London School of Economics researchers found

34、 that “Poorer children have worse cognitive, social-behavioral and health outcomes in part because they are poorer, and not just because poverty is related to other household and parental characteristics”.It can also help reduce family stress and help parents provide a psychologically raising enviro

35、nment in which learning and social development can breed.The historian Michael Katz correctly notes, “One of the odd aspects of the history of writing about poverty is the avoidance of the simple view that people are poor because they lack money,” yet both the left and the right defamed(诽谤) direct c

36、ash aid as a waste and a cause of laziness and abuse. It is good that Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang has stressed the benefits of a universal basic income, quoting studies that show such cash allowances do not cause the avoidance of work, but his plan could cost $2.8 trillion a year a

37、nd the poor would have to return welfare assistance like food stamps to receive the money. For far less moneyabout $100 billionthe number of children living in official poverty could be cut in half. Such a policy would be a humane(人道的), practical, efficient victory for a nation too willing to neglec

38、t its poor.28. According to the author, what is the best approach to declare war on poverty? A. Big tax reduction. B. Unconditional cash aid.C. Reemployment project. D. Shifting attitude among people.29. Why is child poverty described as a “moral tragedy” in paragraph 2? A. There is a causal impact

39、of childhood poverty on a countrys GDP performance.B. It forces a burden on the family and prevents a positive family environment.C. Children brought up in poverty are likely to suffer from disorders in brain.D. Most poor children achieve less and exhibit more problem behaviors later.30. What can we

40、 infer from the last paragraph? A. Andrew Yang is highly thought of for the $2.8 billion plan for the poor.B. Much importance has been placed on child poverty across the America.C. Politicians are afraid that government relief will decrease labor motivation.D. The traditional wisdom holds people hav

41、e themselves to blame for poverty.31. What is the passage mainly about? A. The historical suffering of the poor.B. Push for the poor to save themselves.C. An appeal for child poverty approach.D. A positive new deal to help poor children.DFor something that weighs only about three pounds, the human b

42、rain has a lot of responsibility. Deep within all those gray folds and creases(褶皱) are the controls for everything you do.More than a century ago, scientists first mapped the brain as they worked to develop an understanding of each particular region. Early on, the maps were simple: Which part of the

43、 brain controlled speech? Which controlled hearing? Having a detailed, accurate guide ensures that studies are using the same points of reference and makes for more efficient, accurate investigations.Now, however, things are much more intricate. Researchers have just released an incredible new map o

44、f the brain, revealing nearly 100 new areas that were previously undiscovered or forgotten. Many experts are calling this a milestone in neuroscience according to the New York Times. The new map has been published in the journal Nature.The new map draws on data collected by the Human Connectome Proj

45、ect, which studied 1,200 people using high-powered MRI scanners to understand how brain circuitry(大脑神经元回路) works. For the study, the participants brains were recorded while they laid in the scanner, while they did various math problems and memory tests, and while they listened to stories. Researcher

46、s drew boundaries based on where these and previous tests seemed to match. They also looked at anatomical(解剖的) differences, measuring, for example, the amount of myelin(髓磷脂) a fatty substance that surrounds some neurons in different areas of the brain.“We have 112 different types of information we c

47、an tap into,” study co-author David Van Essen of Washington University Medical School told the New York Times.With all those variables(变量) in hand, researchers eventually created a map that included 83 already familiar areas of the brain, plus an additional 97 regions that were either previously und

48、iscovered, or somehow forgotten and lost in scientific literature along the way. Some previously known regions are how broken down into sub-regions with separate responsibilities. For example, the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex is a large area toward the front of the brain thats active during though

49、t. The new map shows that its made up of many smaller areas that can be key for different kinds of thought, ranging from making decisions to lying.While experts are praising the new map, its far from complete, say the researchers who created it.“Were thinking of this as version 1.0”, says lead autho

50、r Matthew Glasser, a neuroscientist at Washington University School of Medicine. “That doesnt mean its the final version, but its a far better map than the ones weve had before.”32. In the third paragraph, what does the word “intricate” mean? A. amazing B. tricky C. complicated D. difficult33. Whats

51、 the researchers attitude to new map of the brain? A. They think it is the best version. B. They think it is still incomplete.C. They dont like the new map of the brain. D. They think it is a milestone in neuroscience.34. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A. The new

52、 map included 97 unfamiliar areas of the brain.B. The new map used previous data to study the brain circuitry.C. Participants1 brains were monitored when they were telling stories.D. The dorsolateral prefrontal cortex is a small area which is crucial for thinking. 35. What is the main idea of the pa

53、ssage? A. The responsibility of the brain circuitry.B. Mixed opinions on the new map of the brain.C. A study on an incredible new map of the brain.D. The understanding of the familiar areas of the brain.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个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。Happy people have habits you can i

54、ntroduce into your everyday life. Here are some of them. They surround themselves with other happy people.Joy can spread. Researchers of the Framingham Heart Study who studied the spread of happiness over 20 years found that those who are surrounded by happy people are more likely to become happy in

55、 the future. 36 They try to be happy.Yes. Its as simple as it sounds. 37 According to two studies recently published in The Journal of Positive Psychology, those who actively tried to feel happier in the studies reported the highest level of positive moods(心情), making a case for thinking yourself ha

56、ppy.They are mindful of the good. 38 However, happy people give attention to their smaller victories, too. “When we take time to notice the things that go right, it means were getting a lot of little rewards throughout the day,” says Susan Weinschenk, a Ph.D.in Psychology.They devote some of their t

57、ime to giving.Even though there are only 24 hours in a day, positive people fill some of that time doing good for others, which, in return, does some good for the do-gooders themselves. A long-term research project called Americans Changing Lires found a series of benefits associated with altruism(利

58、他主义). 39 People of all ages who volunteered were happier and experienced better physical health and less depression. 40 “When you listen, you open up your ability to take in more knowledge,” writes David Mezzapelle, author of Contagious Optimism.

A good listener may walk away from a conversation feeling as if their presence served a purpose, which is closely connected with increased happiness.A. They make a point to listen.B. They smile when they mean it.C. Just trying to be happy can lift your s

60、pirits.D. Volunteer work was good for both mental and physical health.E. This is reason enough to spend more time with cheerful people.F. Its important to celebrate great hard earned accomplishments.G. Happy people take the time to appreciate these easy-to-come-by pleasures.第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节
