Four Little-known European Destinations
Everyone's heard of Europe's major tourist destinations and rightly so – after all, Amsterdam, Berlin, Paris and Rome are all famous for a reason. But there are still numerous cities and regions that aren’t even mentioned on typical European ''to--do'' lists. The following destinations offer a perfect reason to step slightly off the beaten track.
Innsbruck, Austria
Buried at the foot of the towering Alps, the Austrian city of Innsbruck offers guests a chance to appreciate a blend of old and new. The old town dates back over 800 years, and provides a glimpse at Medieval life in the region, while the modern Home of the Giant, a massive center of arts, entertainment and shopping, is the largest of its kind in the world. Within the center is the stunning Swarovskio Crystal Cloud. During winter months, tourists can participate in various alpine activities. Skiing, snowboarding and many other sports are offered on the nearby slopes; during summer, the area provides a perfect site for rock climbing and hiking. Nature lovers can visit the Alpine Zoo, while history lovers can get lost in the many museums and galleries the town has to offer.
Tallinn, Estonia
Located in Estonia and rarely featured as a must-see destination, Tallinn, nonetheless, offers a fascinating chance to relive history in one of Europe's lesser-visited nations. A vibrant city that frequently hosts festivals of various genres, Tallinn is home to the expansive Kumu Art Museum, which has got both classic and contemporary pieces, and the Open Air Museum, a recreated historic village complete with staff in ancient costumes. To add a brilliant final touch to the Estonian experience, visitors should listen for the haunting sounds of the organ from one of the many churches around the city.
Cinque Terre, Italy
A UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1997, the villages of Cinque Terre have a range of activities for everyone. Outdoor enthusiasts can opt to dive or snorkel(潜水) in the marine park, and anyone chasing nature can watch the birdlife in the Riomaggiore’s Torre Guardiola. Manarola is famous for producing Sciacchetra wine, and another village, Vernazza, is known for its cobbled(铺有鹅卵石的) street and various laneways. Vernazza is also home to the Gothic-Ligurian church, which was built in 1318.
Zadar, Croatia
Full of creative architecture and full of history, the city of Zadar in Croatia continues to fascinate visitors year after year. The famous Wide Street, which is even older than the city itself is a reminder of the Roman influence on the area. The Museum of Ancient Glass has a vast collection of Roman glassware from the commanding 19th-century Cosmacendi Palace.

I took a job at a vet (兽医) clinic almost five decades ago. As an enthusiastic animal lover, I accepted the position on the condition that I wouldn't have to assist with any wounded animals. I couldn't bear to see any creature in pain.
At the end of my first week, we were closing the office for the day when a young man ran up to us holding a severely injured Doberman pinscher puppy (杜宾幼犬) in his arms and begging us to save his life. The four-month-old pup had been hit by a car.
The doctor and I ran back into the operating room. The only place the skin was still attached to this poor little animal's body was around one shoulder. The vet worked tirelessly for what seemed like hours, sewing him back together again. That was the easy part. The puppy had broken multiple bones, including his spine (脊椎) . If he survived the next few days, we were quite sure he would never walk.
That day forever changed my life. I became the vet's assistant in all things medical. One of my first jobs was to give that Doberman puppy daily physical therapy, I remember moving his tiny legs to try to keep his muscles from weakening.
Weeks went by until one day, I felt this little fighter push back ever so slightly. And he continued to push back till he could finally use his legs.
Fast-forward about a year. I walked into the clinic's crowded waiting room and called the name of the next client. Suddenly, a huge Doberman who had been standing quietly with his owner on the opposite side of the room broke loose and dashed toward me. 1 found myself pinned against the wall with this magnificent dog standing on his hind legs, his front paws on my shoulders, washing my face with abundant and joyful kisses!
I still tear up in amazement at the display of love and gratitude the dog had for me that day all those years ago.

Professor Sun Jun, aged 93 in 2018, has devoted his life to working on China’s giant construction projects, including the Qinghai-Tibet highway, Three Gorges Dam, and the Yangtze River Tunnel. In his latest project, the Tongji University academic served as a senior adviser on the construction of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge.
Under the guidance of Sun, Xu Wei, a professor in Tonji and Sun’s student, took over technical assistance for the construction of the bridge. “Every time I saw Sun and other professors working on the bridge,I felt at ease,” said Lin Ming, the general project manager. Lin initially invited an experienced Dutch company to serve as the technical assistant for the project. The company wanted to charge US $171million. He then asked for help from Xu along with experts in Tongji University.
The methods developed by Tongji University reduced the impact of the bridge on the Chinese white dolphin, which is under first class state protection. The key challenge during the construction of the bridge was the 6.7-km underwater tunnel, the world’s longest and deepest undersea tunnel. Ding Wenqi, who was nicknamed the “ tunnel expert” , was asked to ensure the tubes be connected perfectly—even under the influences of land subsidence (下沉), water pressure and tide movement. Hu Xiangdong, another professor with Tongji, developed a method to freeze the earth around the tunnel to prevent water leakage and land subsidence during the digging of the most challenging 2-km section of the tunnel.
The tunnel section of the project was completed in May 2017. Sun was invited to visit the near-completed bridge again in February 2018. The expert said he felt the most relaxed this time since most of the challenges have been conquered. “In the next step, we should focus on how to make the two artificial islands more beautiful and attract travelers,” Sun said.
Xu said all the staff in my office took a great pride in watching the TV news of the bridge’s official opening on Wednesday.
9．What is Professor Sun’s contribution to the bridge?
A．He worked in Tongji University.
B．He was the general project manager.
C．He gave much advice on the project.
D．He took over the technical assistance.
10．Why did Lin Ming ask for help from experts in Tongji University?
A．The Dutch company charged too much.
B．The technical assistant had too much trouble.
C．Tongji University did best in the giant projects.
D．He felt relaxed to see professors working on the bridge.
11．What’s the greatest trouble in building the bridge?
A．Protecting the Chinese white dolphin.
B．Constructing the longest & deepest undersea tunnel.
C．Controlling the water pressure.
D．Preventing the tide.
12．How did the expert stop water leaking in building the undersea tunnel?
A．By keeping the tide moving.
B．By digging deep into the sea.
C．By increasing the water pressure.
D．By freezing the nearby earth around the tunnel.
Can exercise during childhood protect you against memory loss many years later? Exercise early in life seems to have lifelong benefits for the brain, in rats at least.
“This is an animal study, but it shows that physical activity at a young age is very important — not just for physical development, but for the whole lifelong track of cognitive development during ageing,” says Martin of the University of Toronto, Canada. “In humans, it may put off the appearance of Alzheimer’s symptoms, possibly to the point of preventing them.“
Martin’s team divided 80 young male rats into two equal groups, and placed running wheels in the cages of one group for a period of six weeks. Around four months later — when the rats had reached middle age — the team taught all the rats to connect an electric shock with being in a specific box. When placed in the box, they froze with fear.
Two weeks later, the team tested the rats in three situations: exactly the same box in the same room, the same box with the room arranged differently, and a completely different box in a different room.
The rats without access to a running wheel when they were young now froze the same percentage of times in each of these situations, suggesting they couldn’t remember which one was dangerous. But those that had been able to run in their youth froze 40 to 50 percent less in both changed box settings.
“The results suggest the amount of physical activity when we’re young, at least for rats, has influence on brain and cognitive health — in the form of better memories — when we’re older,” says Arthur Kramer of Northeastern University in Boston, who has found that, in humans, exercise improves the growth of new brain cells.
13．The study shows that______.
A．physical activity is important for physical health
B．using the running wheels is of benefit to the rats’ growth
C．physical activity can prevent human’s Alzheimer’s symptoms
D．exercise when young can prevent memory loss when older in rats
14．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A．exercise B．development C．benefit D．study
15．How are Paragraph 3 and 4 mainly developed?
A．By analyzing causes. B．By giving an example.
C．By describing the process. D．By showing differences.
16．What is the author’s attitude towards the animal study?
A．Surprised. B．Objective (客观的). C．Critical (批判性的). D．Doubtful.

How to stop glasses fogging up with a face mask
Wearing a mask keeps you safe during the pandemic, but it come with its own set of challenges. And, one of the biggest drawbacks of wearing a mask is how much your glasses fog up and affect your vision. Taking off your glasses to wipe them clean each time it fogs up is not only frustrating, but it can also increase the risk of infection. ___17___ Here are some tricks to stop it.
Twist your mask strings.
From the side, once you twist it, the strings will look like the figure eight. This is great for stopping fogging because it redirects your breath by putting slight downward pressure on the top part of the mask. ___18___ This may leave you infected by virus.
___19___
If you wash your glasses with soap, this creates a thin film on your lenses which limits fogging. Use a fragrance-free soap and mix it with warm water. Put your glasses in it and let it air dry. When you wear your glasses next, soap molecules on your lenses should block fogging.
Use tissues.
You can put a tissue under the top part of the mask. ___20___ To do this DIY trick properly, you should fold a tissue in half and place the straight edge along the bridge of your nose.
Change the position of your masks and glasses.
___21___ But if you do this there are a few things to keep in mind. Firstly, you need to make sure that your mask still covers your chin(下巴)after you pull it up. And, if your prescription is stronger, this trick could impact your vision and cause increased blurriness.
A．Put glasses in the water.
B．Wash your glasses with soap.
C．It will help catch air and damp, keeping your glasses free of fog.
D．So the key is to prevent or minimize fogging due to face masks.
E．Cover your chin with masks to prevent need for repositioning when talking.
F．Though, it’s worth noting that it does create a slight gap between the mask and your face.
G．Pull up your mask and draw your glasses down, blocking your breath from rising upwards.

I stood with my friends in a line. My heart was hammering like anything, my hands cold and wet, my head buzzing with excitement and nervousness at the same time. I earnestly listened to the names of the house captains (社长) being announced, but in my heart, I wanted it to end because then the head girl would be announced. I so wanted it to be me.
I had made countless posters badges and bracelets for the campaigning. Instead of having lunch during the lunch time, I had gone from person to person, asking them to vote for me. I had shouted at the top of my lungs the slogan, “East or West, Maryam is the best! Vote for her and your year will be best."
I had tried my hardest to convince people to vote for me, now all I had left was hope.
“Guess who the head girl for the year is?" teased the announcer.
A heavy silence fell, one that was full of hope and expectation, of fear and of nervousness.
The announcer teased for a minute or two before finally announcing the name of the head girl.
I felt confused as my friends pushed me out of the line. As I looked at the huge crowd clapping for me, I could not believe that I was the head girl of the school. The head of the council body. The student that was respected and liked by everybody.
From then on, I enjoyed the respect I got in and out of school. At home, my family members praised me and at school everyone looked up to me. They thought I was an inspiration as well as someone they could get motivated by. I had power. I could talk to the school principal and convince her to do anything. I could order around other council members and ask them to do anything.
But as days passed, I realized that with power comes responsibility

【注意】细节理解题做题技巧
细节理解题属直接解答性问题，是阅读理解题中最简单的一种，多数属中低难度的题。但高考所占的比例大，应特别引起注意。事实和细节题的命题特点是：对文章或某一段落中的一些特定细节或文章重要事实的理解，一般包括直接理解题和语义转化题。直接理解题能在原文直接找到答案，而语义转化题则需要将题目信息与原文信息加工或整理后才能得出结论。
做细节理解题具体方法与步骤如下：
1.略读材料，大概了解原文，掌握中心或主旨。经常有新技术对将来人们工作和生活不良影响的预测，但事实证明结果并不是那样，我们有必要否定预测，以减少人们的恐惧。
2.按文章的体裁，作者写作的组织模式及有关的信息词。如for example, first, second…等预测应该到何处寻找自己所需要的事实。
3.将精力放在寻找你所需要的细节上。快速通篇跳读，全文扫视，找到细节出处，待找到含细节句子时，放慢速度，仔细核对比较内容，直至找到答案。
比如小题4，根据第三段第四句的 Hu Xiangdong, another professor with Tongji, developed a method to freeze the earth around the tunnel to prevent water leakage可知该专家通过冰冻隧道周围的泥土的方法来防止漏水。故选D。
13．D 14．A 15．C 16．B
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。 文章主要介绍一项关于动物研究的过程，就年轻时锻炼对大脑有终生的好处进行研究。
13．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Exercise early in life seems to have lifelong benefits for the brain, in rats at least.(年轻时的锻炼似乎对大脑有终生的好处，至少对老鼠来说是这样)”可知，研究表明，年轻时的锻炼可以防止老鼠年老时的记忆丧失。故选D。
14．词句猜测题。根据第二段““This is an animal study, but it shows that physical activity at a young age is very important — not just for physical development, but for the whole lifelong track of cognitive development during ageing,” says Martin of the University of Toronto, Canada.(加拿大多伦多大学的马丁说：“这是一项动物研究，但它表明年轻时的体育活动非常重要——不仅对身体发育，而且对衰老过程中认知发展的整个一生轨迹都非常重要。”)”可知，本段主要介绍一项动物研究，说明体育活动对身体发育和衰老过程中认知发展轨迹很重要，对于人类，它可能会推迟阿兹海默氏症的出现。因此指代上文的it在句中指的是具体的身体活动，也就是锻炼。故选A。
15．推理判断题。根据第三段“Martin’s team divided 80 young male rats into two equal groups, and placed running wheels in the cages of one group for a period of six weeks. Around four months later — when the rats had reached middle age — the team taught all the rats to connect an electric shock with being in a specific box. When placed in the box, they froze with fear.(马丁的团队将80只年轻的雄性老鼠分成两组，在其中一组的笼子里放置跑步轮，为期六周。大约四个月后，当老鼠进入中年时，研究小组教会所有的老鼠把电击和被关在一个特定的盒子里联系起来。当它们被放进盒子里时，它们吓呆了)”以及第四段“Two weeks later, the team tested the rats in three situations: exactly the same box in the same room, the same box with the room arranged differently, and a completely different box in a different room.(两周后，研究小组在三种情况下对老鼠进行了测试：同一个房间里完全相同的盒子，同一个盒子但房间布局不同，以及不同房间里完全不同的盒子)”可推知，第3段和第4段通过描述过程来开展。故选C。
16．推断判断题。根据第五段“The rats without access to a running wheel when they were young now froze the same percentage of times in each of these situations, suggesting they couldn’t remember which one was dangerous. But those that had been able to run in their youth froze 40 to 50 percent less in both changed box settings.(年轻时没有接触滚轮的老鼠现在在每种情况下被吓住拥有相同的时间百分比，这表明它们不记得哪种情况是危险的。但那些在年轻时就能跑的老鼠，在两种改变的盒子设置下，被吓住率都要低40%到50%)”文中对这项老鼠实验的过程及其结果的介绍，用数据表示，可见作者对动物研究的态度是很客观的。故选B。
17．D 18．F 19．B 20．C 21．G
【导语】这是一篇应用文，文章介绍了几个防止戴口罩眼镜起雾的方法。
17．上文“Taking off your glasses to wipe them clean each time it fogs up is not only frustrating, but it can also increase the risk of infection. (每当眼镜起雾时，摘下眼镜把它擦干净不仅令人沮丧，还会增加感染的风险)”说明戴口罩使眼镜起雾所带来的问题；下文“Here are some tricks to stop it.(这里有一些技巧可以阻止它)”指出有些技巧可以防止眼镜起雾；D选项“So the key is to prevent or minimize fogging due to face masks.(因此，关键是防止或尽量减少口罩造成的雾气)”起到承上启下的作用，“the key”指出上文中问题的解决方法，“fogging due to face masks”是下文“it”所指代的内容。故选D。
18．上文“ This is great for stopping fogging because it redirects your breath by putting slight downward pressure on the top part of the mask.”(这对防止起雾非常好，因为它通过在口罩顶部施加轻微的向下压力来改变你呼出的气体的方向)阐述了“Twist your mask strings.(扭扭你的口罩绳)”所起到的防止起雾的作用以及原理；下文“This may leave you infected by virus.(这可能会让你被病毒感染)”说明可能会出现的问题，所以设空处应填与上文表示转折关系，同时又承接下文的句子，F选项“Though, it’s worth noting that it does create a slight gap between the mask and your face.(不过，值得注意的是，它确实会在口罩和你的脸之间产生一个微小的间隙)”符合语意，故选F。
19．文章结构解析可知，此空概括下文整段内容，起到小标题的作用。由下文 “If you wash your glasses with soap, this creates a thin film on your lenses which limits fogging. (如果你用肥皂洗眼镜，这会在镜片上形成一层薄膜，从而限制起雾)”可知，这一段主要讲用肥皂水洗眼镜可以防止眼镜起雾，所以B选项“Wash your glasses with soap.(用肥皂洗你的眼镜)”可以概括此段大意，故选B。
20．上文“You can put a tissue under the top part of the mask.(你可以在口罩的上部垫上一张纸巾)”阐述了纸巾的用法，C选项“It will help catch air and damp, keeping your glasses free of fog.(它将有助于吸收空气和潮湿，使您的眼镜没有雾)”承接上文，阐述了在口罩上部垫上纸巾是如何防止眼镜起雾的，符合语意，故选C。
21．根据本段的小标题“Change the position of your masks and glasses.(改变口罩和眼镜的位置)”可知这一段主要阐述用调整口罩和眼镜的位置来防止眼镜起雾，G选项“Pull up your mask and draw your glasses down, blocking your breath from rising upwards.(把你的口罩向上拉一点，把你的眼镜向下拉一点，这样能阻止你呼出的气上升)”符合语意，句中的“Pull up your mask”也对应下文的“Firstly, you need to make sure that your mask still covers your chin(下巴)after you pull it up.(首先，你需要确保你的口罩在被向上拉以后仍然遮住你的下巴)”。故选G。
22．D 23．C 24．D 25．C 26．A 27．D 28．A 29．D 30．B 31．B 32．A 33．C 34．C 35．A 36．B

48．A possible version:
I was given countless responsibilities along with my studies. I had to check students’ uniform, keep an alert mind for bullies, and maintain order when students queue up for meals. My energy and the excitement drained out of me as I realized that with a position comes burdens. As a result, my marks dropped dramatically and I eventually broke down. One day, I found myself in the principal’s office, telling her with deep sorrow that I could no longer be the head girl.
The principal listened attentively, her concern clearly written on her face. She put her hand on my shoulder and expressed her understanding. She suggested I turn to the former head girl and find some assistants. I was doubtful at first, but my doubts vanished as the suggestions proved very helpful. Now I felt I would be able to do this and at the same time ace at my studies. When you ask for power, you should be prepared to accept the responsibilities that come with it too.

Four Little-known European Destinations
Everyone's heard of Europe's major tourist destinations and rightly so – after all, Amsterdam, Berlin, Paris and Rome are all famous for a reason. But there are still numerous cities and regions that aren’t even mentioned on typical European ''to--do'' lists. The following destinations offer a perfect reason to step slightly off the beaten track.
Innsbruck, Austria
Buried at the foot of the towering Alps, the Austrian city of Innsbruck offers guests a chance to appreciate a blend of old and new. The old town dates back over 800 years, and provides a glimpse at Medieval life in the region, while the modern Home of the Giant, a massive center of arts, entertainment and shopping, is the largest of its kind in the world. Within the center is the stunning Swarovskio Crystal Cloud. During winter months, tourists can participate in various alpine activities. Skiing, snowboarding and many other sports are offered on the nearby slopes; during summer, the area provides a perfect site for rock climbing and hiking. Nature lovers can visit the Alpine Zoo, while history lovers can get lost in the many museums and galleries the town has to offer.
Tallinn, Estonia
Located in Estonia and rarely featured as a must-see destination, Tallinn, nonetheless, offers a fascinating chance to relive history in one of Europe's lesser-visited nations. A vibrant city that frequently hosts festivals of various genres, Tallinn is home to the expansive Kumu Art Museum, which has got both classic and contemporary pieces, and the Open Air Museum, a recreated historic village complete with staff in ancient costumes. To add a brilliant final touch to the Estonian experience, visitors should listen for the haunting sounds of the organ from one of the many churches around the city.
Cinque Terre, Italy
A UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1997, the villages of Cinque Terre have a range of activities for everyone. Outdoor enthusiasts can opt to dive or snorkel(潜水) in the marine park, and anyone chasing nature can watch the birdlife in the Riomaggiore’s Torre Guardiola. Manarola is famous for producing Sciacchetra wine, and another village, Vernazza, is known for its cobbled(铺有鹅卵石的) street and various laneways. Vernazza is also home to the Gothic-Ligurian church, which was built in 1318.
Zadar, Croatia
Full of creative architecture and full of history, the city of Zadar in Croatia continues to fascinate visitors year after year. The famous Wide Street, which is even older than the city itself is a reminder of the Roman influence on the area. The Museum of Ancient Glass has a vast collection of Roman glassware from the commanding 19th-century Cosmacendi Palace.

I took a job at a vet (兽医) clinic almost five decades ago. As an enthusiastic animal lover, I accepted the position on the condition that I wouldn't have to assist with any wounded animals. I couldn't bear to see any creature in pain.
At the end of my first week, we were closing the office for the day when a young man ran up to us holding a severely injured Doberman pinscher puppy (杜宾幼犬) in his arms and begging us to save his life. The four-month-old pup had been hit by a car.
The doctor and I ran back into the operating room. The only place the skin was still attached to this poor little animal's body was around one shoulder. The vet worked tirelessly for what seemed like hours, sewing him back together again. That was the easy part. The puppy had broken multiple bones, including his spine (脊椎) . If he survived the next few days, we were quite sure he would never walk.
That day forever changed my life. I became the vet's assistant in all things medical. One of my first jobs was to give that Doberman puppy daily physical therapy, I remember moving his tiny legs to try to keep his muscles from weakening.
Weeks went by until one day, I felt this little fighter push back ever so slightly. And he continued to push back till he could finally use his legs.
Fast-forward about a year. I walked into the clinic's crowded waiting room and called the name of the next client. Suddenly, a huge Doberman who had been standing quietly with his owner on the opposite side of the room broke loose and dashed toward me. 1 found myself pinned against the wall with this magnificent dog standing on his hind legs, his front paws on my shoulders, washing my face with abundant and joyful kisses!
I still tear up in amazement at the display of love and gratitude the dog had for me that day all those years ago.

Professor Sun Jun, aged 93 in 2018, has devoted his life to working on China’s giant construction projects, including the Qinghai-Tibet highway, Three Gorges Dam, and the Yangtze River Tunnel. In his latest project, the Tongji University academic served as a senior adviser on the construction of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge.
Under the guidance of Sun, Xu Wei, a professor in Tonji and Sun’s student, took over technical assistance for the construction of the bridge. “Every time I saw Sun and other professors working on the bridge,I felt at ease,” said Lin Ming, the general project manager. Lin initially invited an experienced Dutch company to serve as the technical assistant for the project. The company wanted to charge US $171million. He then asked for help from Xu along with experts in Tongji University.
The methods developed by Tongji University reduced the impact of the bridge on the Chinese white dolphin, which is under first class state protection. The key challenge during the construction of the bridge was the 6.7-km underwater tunnel, the world’s longest and deepest undersea tunnel. Ding Wenqi, who was nicknamed the “ tunnel expert” , was asked to ensure the tubes be connected perfectly—even under the influences of land subsidence (下沉), water pressure and tide movement. Hu Xiangdong, another professor with Tongji, developed a method to freeze the earth around the tunnel to prevent water leakage and land subsidence during the digging of the most challenging 2-km section of the tunnel.
The tunnel section of the project was completed in May 2017. Sun was invited to visit the near-completed bridge again in February 2018. The expert said he felt the most relaxed this time since most of the challenges have been conquered. “In the next step, we should focus on how to make the two artificial islands more beautiful and attract travelers,” Sun said.
Xu said all the staff in my office took a great pride in watching the TV news of the bridge’s official opening on Wednesday.
9．What is Professor Sun’s contribution to the bridge?
A．He worked in Tongji University.
B．He was the general project manager.
C．He gave much advice on the project.
D．He took over the technical assistance.
10．Why did Lin Ming ask for help from experts in Tongji University?
A．The Dutch company charged too much.
B．The technical assistant had too much trouble.
C．Tongji University did best in the giant projects.
D．He felt relaxed to see professors working on the bridge.
11．What’s the greatest trouble in building the bridge?
A．Protecting the Chinese white dolphin.
B．Constructing the longest & deepest undersea tunnel.
C．Controlling the water pressure.
D．Preventing the tide.
12．How did the expert stop water leaking in building the undersea tunnel?
A．By keeping the tide moving.
B．By digging deep into the sea.
C．By increasing the water pressure.
D．By freezing the nearby earth around the tunnel.
Can exercise during childhood protect you against memory loss many years later? Exercise early in life seems to have lifelong benefits for the brain, in rats at least.
“This is an animal study, but it shows that physical activity at a young age is very important — not just for physical development, but for the whole lifelong track of cognitive development during ageing,” says Martin of the University of Toronto, Canada. “In humans, it may put off the appearance of Alzheimer’s symptoms, possibly to the point of preventing them.“
Martin’s team divided 80 young male rats into two equal groups, and placed running wheels in the cages of one group for a period of six weeks. Around four months later — when the rats had reached middle age — the team taught all the rats to connect an electric shock with being in a specific box. When placed in the box, they froze with fear.
Two weeks later, the team tested the rats in three situations: exactly the same box in the same room, the same box with the room arranged differently, and a completely different box in a different room.
The rats without access to a running wheel when they were young now froze the same percentage of times in each of these situations, suggesting they couldn’t remember which one was dangerous. But those that had been able to run in their youth froze 40 to 50 percent less in both changed box settings.
“The results suggest the amount of physical activity when we’re young, at least for rats, has influence on brain and cognitive health — in the form of better memories — when we’re older,” says Arthur Kramer of Northeastern University in Boston, who has found that, in humans, exercise improves the growth of new brain cells.
13．The study shows that______.
A．physical activity is important for physical health
B．using the running wheels is of benefit to the rats’ growth
C．physical activity can prevent human’s Alzheimer’s symptoms
D．exercise when young can prevent memory loss when older in rats
14．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A．exercise B．development C．benefit D．study
15．How are Paragraph 3 and 4 mainly developed?
A．By analyzing causes. B．By giving an example.
C．By describing the process. D．By showing differences.
16．What is the author’s attitude towards the animal study?
A．Surprised. B．Objective (客观的). C．Critical (批判性的). D．Doubtful.

How to stop glasses fogging up with a face mask
Wearing a mask keeps you safe during the pandemic, but it come with its own set of challenges. And, one of the biggest drawbacks of wearing a mask is how much your glasses fog up and affect your vision. Taking off your glasses to wipe them clean each time it fogs up is not only frustrating, but it can also increase the risk of infection. ___17___ Here are some tricks to stop it.
Twist your mask strings.
From the side, once you twist it, the strings will look like the figure eight. This is great for stopping fogging because it redirects your breath by putting slight downward pressure on the top part of the mask. ___18___ This may leave you infected by virus.
___19___
If you wash your glasses with soap, this creates a thin film on your lenses which limits fogging. Use a fragrance-free soap and mix it with warm water. Put your glasses in it and let it air dry. When you wear your glasses next, soap molecules on your lenses should block fogging.
Use tissues.
You can put a tissue under the top part of the mask. ___20___ To do this DIY trick properly, you should fold a tissue in half and place the straight edge along the bridge of your nose.
Change the position of your masks and glasses.
___21___ But if you do this there are a few things to keep in mind. Firstly, you need to make sure that your mask still covers your chin(下巴)after you pull it up. And, if your prescription is stronger, this trick could impact your vision and cause increased blurriness.
A．Put glasses in the water.
B．Wash your glasses with soap.
C．It will help catch air and damp, keeping your glasses free of fog.
D．So the key is to prevent or minimize fogging due to face masks.
E．Cover your chin with masks to prevent need for repositioning when talking.
F．Though, it’s worth noting that it does create a slight gap between the mask and your face.
G．Pull up your mask and draw your glasses down, blocking your breath from rising upwards.

48．阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段使之构成一篇完整短文。
I stood with my friends in a line. My heart was hammering like anything, my hands cold and wet, my head buzzing with excitement and nervousness at the same time. I earnestly listened to the names of the house captains (社长) being announced, but in my heart, I wanted it to end because then the head girl would be announced. I so wanted it to be me.
I had made countless posters badges and bracelets for the campaigning. Instead of having lunch during the lunch time, I had gone from person to person, asking them to vote for me. I had shouted at the top of my lungs the slogan, “East or West, Maryam is the best! Vote for her and your year will be best."
I had tried my hardest to convince people to vote for me, now all I had left was hope.
“Guess who the head girl for the year is?" teased the announcer.
A heavy silence fell, one that was full of hope and expectation, of fear and of nervousness.
The announcer teased for a minute or two before finally announcing the name of the head girl.
I felt confused as my friends pushed me out of the line. As I looked at the huge crowd clapping for me, I could not believe that I was the head girl of the school. The head of the council body. The student that was respected and liked by everybody.
From then on, I enjoyed the respect I got in and out of school. At home, my family members praised me and at school everyone looked up to me. They thought I was an inspiration as well as someone they could get motivated by. I had power. I could talk to the school principal and convince her to do anything. I could order around other council members and ask them to do anything.
But as days passed, I realized that with power comes responsibility

2．细节理解题。根据最后一段的The famous Wide Street, which is even older than the city itself, is a reminder of the Roman influence on the area.(著名的Wide Street，比城市本身还古老，它提醒人们罗马对这一地区的影响)可知，Wide Street可以让人们想到罗马对该城市的影响，是因为街道的结构。D.

【解析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者和兽医曾尽力救治一只受伤的杜宾幼犬，后来作者和康复后的杜宾幼犬再次相遇的感人事迹。
4．推理判断题。根据第一段“I took a job at a vet (兽医) clinic almost five decades ago. As an enthusiastic animal lover, I accepted the position on the condition that I wouldn't have to assist with any wounded animals.”（ 大约五十年前，我在一家兽医诊所找到了一份工作。作为一个热心的动物爱好者，我接受了这份工作，条件是我不必帮助任何受伤的动物。）可知，作者在兽医诊所最初的工作不用帮助受伤的动物，只是一个普通的接待员。故选D项。

8．主旨大意题。根据最后一段“I still tear up in amazement at the display of love and gratitude the dog had for me that day all those years ago.”（多年前的那一天，那只狗对我表示出的爱和感激之情，至今仍让我惊讶得落泪。）以及第六段“I found myself pinned against the wall with this magnificent dog standing on his hind legs, his front paws on my shoulders, washing my face with abundant and joyful kisses!” (我发现自己被压在墙边，这只漂亮的狗用后腿站着，前爪搭在我的肩膀上，不停地、快乐地亲吻我的脸。)以及文章其它内容可知，本文主要讲述了作者救助了一只杜宾犬，杜宾犬小狗因为作者对它的救治而心怀感恩。所以本文的主旨是一个感恩的故事，C项“一个心怀感激的病人”最适合作文章标题。故选C项。
9．C 10．A 11．B 12．D
【解析】本文是一篇说明文。港珠澳大桥建成正式通车，这一世纪工程的建成离不开所有参与者的智慧与汗水。在荷兰一公司狮子大开口之后，同济大学的专家们积极献策，他们反复研究、试验，攻破了港珠澳大桥建设的重重技术难关，创造了世界奇迹。
9．推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句的the Tongji University academic served as a senior adviser on the construction of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge可知，他是港珠澳大桥的高级顾问，因此他应该为这个工程的建设提供了许多建议。故选C。

12．细节理解题。根据第三段第四句的Hu Xiangdong, another professor with Tongji, developed a method to freeze the earth around the tunnel to prevent water leakage可知，该专家通过冰冻隧道周围的泥土的方法来防止漏水。故选D。
【注意】细节理解题做题技巧
细节理解题属直接解答性问题，是阅读理解题中最简单的一种，多数属中低难度的题。但高考所占的比例大，应特别引起注意。事实和细节题的命题特点是：对文章或某一段落中的一些特定细节或文章重要事实的理解，一般包括直接理解题和语义转化题。直接理解题能在原文直接找到答案，而语义转化题则需要将题目信息与原文信息加工或整理后才能得出结论。
做细节理解题具体方法与步骤如下：
1.略读材料，大概了解原文，掌握中心或主旨。经常有新技术对将来人们工作和生活不良影响的预测，但事实证明结果并不是那样，我们有必要否定预测，以减少人们的恐惧。
2.按文章的体裁，作者写作的组织模式及有关的信息词。如for example, first, second…等预测应该到何处寻找自己所需要的事实。
3.将精力放在寻找你所需要的细节上。快速通篇跳读，全文扫视，找到细节出处，待找到含细节句子时，放慢速度，仔细核对比较内容，直至找到答案。
比如小题4，根据第三段第四句的 Hu Xiangdong, another professor with Tongji, developed a method to freeze the earth around the tunnel to prevent water leakage可知该专家通过冰冻隧道周围的泥土的方法来防止漏水。故选D。
13．D 14．A 15．C 16．B
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。 文章主要介绍一项关于动物研究的过程，就年轻时锻炼对大脑有终生的好处进行研究。
13．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Exercise early in life seems to have lifelong benefits for the brain, in rats at least.(年轻时的锻炼似乎对大脑有终生的好处，至少对老鼠来说是这样)”可知，研究表明，年轻时的锻炼可以防止老鼠年老时的记忆丧失。故选D。
14．词句猜测题。根据第二段““This is an animal study, but it shows that physical activity at a young age is very important — not just for physical development, but for the whole lifelong track of cognitive development during ageing,” says Martin of the University of Toronto, Canada.(加拿大多伦多大学的马丁说：“这是一项动物研究，但它表明年轻时的体育活动非常重要——不仅对身体发育，而且对衰老过程中认知发展的整个一生轨迹都非常重要。”)”可知，本段主要介绍一项动物研究，说明体育活动对身体发育和衰老过程中认知发展轨迹很重要，对于人类，它可能会推迟阿兹海默氏症的出现。因此指代上文的it在句中指的是具体的身体活动，也就是锻炼。故选A。
15．推理判断题。根据第三段“Martin’s team divided 80 young male rats into two equal groups, and placed running wheels in the cages of one group for a period of six weeks. Around four months later — when the rats had reached middle age — the team taught all the rats to connect an electric shock with being in a specific box. When placed in the box, they froze with fear.(马丁的团队将80只年轻的雄性老鼠分成两组，在其中一组的笼子里放置跑步轮，为期六周。大约四个月后，当老鼠进入中年时，研究小组教会所有的老鼠把电击和被关在一个特定的盒子里联系起来。当它们被放进盒子里时，它们吓呆了)”以及第四段“Two weeks later, the team tested the rats in three situations: exactly the same box in the same room, the same box with the room arranged differently, and a completely different box in a different room.(两周后，研究小组在三种情况下对老鼠进行了测试：同一个房间里完全相同的盒子，同一个盒子但房间布局不同，以及不同房间里完全不同的盒子)”可推知，第3段和第4段通过描述过程来开展。故选C。
16．推断判断题。根据第五段“The rats without access to a running wheel when they were young now froze the same percentage of times in each of these situations, suggesting they couldn’t remember which one was dangerous. But those that had been able to run in their youth froze 40 to 50 percent less in both changed box settings.(年轻时没有接触滚轮的老鼠现在在每种情况下被吓住拥有相同的时间百分比，这表明它们不记得哪种情况是危险的。但那些在年轻时就能跑的老鼠，在两种改变的盒子设置下，被吓住率都要低40%到50%)”文中对这项老鼠实验的过程及其结果的介绍，用数据表示，可见作者对动物研究的态度是很客观的。故选B。
17．D 18．F 19．B 20．C 21．G
【导语】这是一篇应用文，文章介绍了几个防止戴口罩眼镜起雾的方法。
17．上文“Taking off your glasses to wipe them clean each time it fogs up is not only frustrating, but it can also increase the risk of infection. (每当眼镜起雾时，摘下眼镜把它擦干净不仅令人沮丧，还会增加感染的风险)”说明戴口罩使眼镜起雾所带来的问题；下文“Here are some tricks to stop it.(这里有一些技巧可以阻止它)”指出有些技巧可以防止眼镜起雾；D选项“So the key is to prevent or minimize fogging due to face masks.(因此，关键是防止或尽量减少口罩造成的雾气)”起到承上启下的作用，“the key”指出上文中问题的解决方法，“fogging due to face masks”是下文“it”所指代的内容。故选D。
18．上文“ This is great for stopping fogging because it redirects your breath by putting slight downward pressure on the top part of the mask.”(这对防止起雾非常好，因为它通过在口罩顶部施加轻微的向下压力来改变你呼出的气体的方向)阐述了“Twist your mask strings.(扭扭你的口罩绳)”所起到的防止起雾的作用以及原理；下文“This may leave you infected by virus.(这可能会让你被病毒感染)”说明可能会出现的问题，所以设空处应填与上文表示转折关系，同时又承接下文的句子，F选项“Though, it’s worth noting that it does create a slight gap between the mask and your face.(不过，值得注意的是，它确实会在口罩和你的脸之间产生一个微小的间隙)”符合语意，故选F。
19．文章结构解析可知，此空概括下文整段内容，起到小标题的作用。由下文 “If you wash your glasses with soap, this creates a thin film on your lenses which limits fogging. (如果你用肥皂洗眼镜，这会在镜片上形成一层薄膜，从而限制起雾)”可知，这一段主要讲用肥皂水洗眼镜可以防止眼镜起雾，所以B选项“Wash your glasses with soap.(用肥皂洗你的眼镜)”可以概括此段大意，故选B。
20．上文“You can put a tissue under the top part of the mask.(你可以在口罩的上部垫上一张纸巾)”阐述了纸巾的用法，C选项“It will help catch air and damp, keeping your glasses free of fog.(它将有助于吸收空气和潮湿，使您的眼镜没有雾)”承接上文，阐述了在口罩上部垫上纸巾是如何防止眼镜起雾的，符合语意，故选C。
21．根据本段的小标题“Change the position of your masks and glasses.(改变口罩和眼镜的位置)”可知这一段主要阐述用调整口罩和眼镜的位置来防止眼镜起雾，G选项“Pull up your mask and draw your glasses down, blocking your breath from rising upwards.(把你的口罩向上拉一点，把你的眼镜向下拉一点，这样能阻止你呼出的气上升)”符合语意，句中的“Pull up your mask”也对应下文的“Firstly, you need to make sure that your mask still covers your chin(下巴)after you pull it up.(首先，你需要确保你的口罩在被向上拉以后仍然遮住你的下巴)”。故选G。
22．D 23．C 24．D 25．C 26．A 27．D 28．A 29．D 30．B 31．B 32．A 33．C 34．C 35．A 36．B

【解析】文章介绍了锻炼的好处。
37．考查连词。句意：锻炼有助于你解决工作中的压力，生活中的关系等。这可能因为锻炼本身就是一种压力，它以一种更好的方式来帮助你的身体。根据句意，该空应填because。“because exercise is a form of stress itself and helps your body deal with it in a better way”在句中做表语。
38．考查定语从句。解析句子结构可知，“ 2 did 30 minutes of aerobic (有氧的) exercise three times a week”是定语从句，修饰those，引导词在从句中做主语，指人，故该从句要用who引导。
39．考查形容词比较级。句意：一周进行三次有氧运动的人的血压更低。lower是low的比较级，修饰blood pressure。

45．考查非谓语动词。keep doing 意为“一直做某事，保持做某事”，doing做keep的宾语。
46．考查固定句式。be likely to do意为“可能做某事”。

48．A possible version:
I was given countless responsibilities along with my studies. I had to check students’ uniform, keep an alert mind for bullies, and maintain order when students queue up for meals. My energy and the excitement drained out of me as I realized that with a position comes burdens. As a result, my marks dropped dramatically and I eventually broke down. One day, I found myself in the principal’s office, telling her with deep sorrow that I could no longer be the head girl.
The principal listened attentively, her concern clearly written on her face. She put her hand on my shoulder and expressed her understanding. She suggested I turn to the former head girl and find some assistants. I was doubtful at first, but my doubts vanished as the suggestions proved very helpful. Now I felt I would be able to do this and at the same time ace at my studies. When you ask for power, you should be prepared to accept the responsibilities that come with it too.
