A
Big Problems, Simple Solutions
Inventions are improving health and well-being in communities around the world. Speakers at recent TED events have shared simple and inexpensive solutions that can solve everyday problems.
FUEL BRIQUETTES （燃料砖）
In the developing world, smoke from indoor cooking kills more than 2 million children each year. In fact, it’s the number one cause of death of children under five. Amy Smith, founder of D-Lab at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), discovered a way to make a safe cooking fuel. The material she uses is also free and plentiful: farm waste.
Smith invented a low-cost device that turns farm waste into fuel briquettes. These briquettes produce smoke that is less dangerous than the smoke from other fuel. They also burn hotter and last longer. Farmers can make these briquettes from readily available waste. This invention has an economic benefit, too. Farmers can buy the device for $2 and sell briquettes they don’t use. Smith estimates (估算) that this can increase a farmer’s income by $500 a month.
DISASTER SHELTERS

Over 31 million people worldwide lose their homes every year due to natural disasters such as hurricanes and earthquakes. After these disasters, many people live in terrible conditions—in tents or in large stadiums with no privacy. Graphic designer Michael McDaniel invented inexpensive and temporary housing for people in these situations.
Called the Reaction Ex, these shelters are small, one-room houses that comfortably hold up to four people. They’re made from a plastic that is strong, recyclable, and super light. In fact, they’re so light that they can be lifted by hand and are very portable as well. McDaniel hopes that his invention will provide an affordable solution to help people rebuild their lives after a natural disaster.
16. The key goal to invent the fuel briquettes is to________.
A. increase family income
B. make full use of farm waste
C. get free and plentiful cooking fuel
D. protect kids from dangerous cooking smoke
17. What are the features of disaster shelters?
A. Light and affordable. B. Heavy and recyclable.
C. Big and comfortable. D. Small and breakable.
18. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To explain design methods. B. To introduce new inventions.
C. To report research findings. D. To advertise latest products.
B
Compassion may be something that one is born with, but actually being good at caring for others requires experience and a certain set of skills. An early opportunity to develop and practice these skills came with the birth of my brother when I was in 5th grade. Although it took great patience to deal with a small child, I found deep joy in something so simple as watching him grow day by day.
Not only did I enjoy taking care of my little brother, but I volunteered at the Organization for Special Needs Families (OSNF) in my neighborhood so I could apply and further develop my childcare skills. I was partnered with Matthew, a 10-year-old with curly blond hair and blue eyes. He didn’t look different from other kids, but he had difficulty controlling his emotions, especially anger. His biggest problem was that he couldn’t go to the toilet himself. Every day I had to clean up his mess if he pooped in his pants. It was just like the “good old days” with my little brother before I successfully toilet-trained him.
Although I was never going to be able to toilet-train Matthew, I was able to change his life in another way. We had swimming three times a week, but Matthew was hopelessly afraid of the water. At first, Matthew just sat on the steps of the pool and did nothing. I pushed him slowly down the stairs until he was at last standing in the shallowest part of the pool. The next day, I pushed him a little further into the water. By the third day, he completely trusted me to take him into the pool. Maybe my large size also helped give him a sense of security. He did not have to be afraid of anything when a 200-pound guy was holding him tight. I felt so proud as I saw him standing there in the pool, happily playing with other kids in the water. The OSNF adult leaders told me that I was the only volunteer who had been able to take care of Matthew well. I think what made the difference is the belief I had in Matthew, like how I had always believed in my little brother.
Helping Matthew “grow” to overcome his fear of water made me realize things do not happen overnight. Real magic is a result of patience, and miracles happen when one believes in them.
19. How did the author feel about taking care of his brother?
A. Tired. B. Joyful.
C. Proud. D. Stressed.
20. The author volunteered at OSNF because he wanted to ________.
A. use and improve his childcare skills
B. create a friendly neighborhood
C. change the lives of other kids
D. get some work experience
21. With the author’s help, Matthew finally could ________.
A. control his emotions B. play with his friends
C. poop in the toilet D. stand in the pool
22. According to the author, what mattered most when he helped Matthew “grow”?
A. His large size and strong body.
B. His experience and knowledge.
C. His patience and trust in Matthew.
D. His willingness to take care of his brother.
C
Social Networking Sites: Are They Changing Human Communication?
It is hardly news that people are using the Internet to communicate with others more and more. Some people fear that someday we will no longer feel the need to talk to one another face to face. However, some recent studies suggest that people communicate, or stay in touch, even more than they used to. Whichever side you fall on, what is clear and without a doubt is that human communication has changed in the 21st century. But results of recent scientific studies may have us reconsider just how much our new communication forms have changed our world.
In June 2008, a British psychiatrist, Himanshu Tyagi, warned that communicating on social networking sites could have a negative effect on the generation of people born after 1990. This generation has never known a world without the Internet. Tyagi says that these people use the Internet to communicate with others so much that they may have trouble forming real relationships. Tyagi is concerned that people may start and end relationships over the Internet. Describing the Internet he said, “It’s a world where everything moves fast and changes all the time, where relationships are quickly ended at the click of a mouse.”
Another psychologist, Dr. Aric Sigman, warned of the physical effects that come with using social networking sites. He suggests that the reduction in the amount of time we spend interacting (互动交流) with people face to face could have biological effects on the human body. The results of his study suggest that, without real personal interaction, the body does not react the same way it would if people were meeting face to face. As a result, immune responses, even hormone levels, can be changed. These changes may lead to the development of illnesses, such as cancer.
Despite these warnings, studies can be found that show the positive sides of social networking sites. The results of one study show that using social networking sites has increased the self-esteem (自尊心) of young adults. Another suggests that college students using these sites feel more “connected” with people when they use them. In addition to scientific studies, there are many who feel that the benefits of social networking sites outweigh the possible negative sides. Many people, especially those who spend a lot of time at home, for various reasons, find the Internet a lifeline. They are able to communicate with many people using these sites.
Perhaps the key to this new communication style is self-control and common sense. If someone spends all of his time on the Internet, and never actually sees friends face to face, that seems like an unhealthy way to live. But if someone spends time on the Internet, some of which is spent arranging meetings for “real” time together, then it seems almost complementary (互补的). Balance is the key to keeping communication alive and well in the 21st century.
23. Which of the following ideas may Himanshu Tyagi agree with?
A. Social networking sites harm people of all ages.
B. The Internet weakens young people’s relationships.
C. The use of the Internet improves people’s immune system.
D. The online world pushes people to live a faster and better life.
24. What is Dr. Aric Sigman’s major concern about using social networking sites?
A. It will stop the face-to-face interaction.
B. It reduces the self-esteem of young adults.
C. It may cause some serious health problems.
D. It makes people feel less connected with others.
25. What does the underlined word “outweigh” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Are greater than. B. Are heavier than.
C. Are more effective than. D. Are more difficult than.
26. Which of the following shows the development of ideas in this passage?
CP: Central Point P: Point Sp: Sub-point(次要点) C: Conclusion
A. B.
C D.
D
At the heart of psychology is understanding behavior, and understanding behavior has much to do with understanding the brain. Neuroscientists (神经系统科学家) have become more efficient at mapping the brain and have gained more understanding of how the brain develops and works. Truly, differences in behavior as we age and between genders, are most likely explained by the physical state of and changes in our brains.
Around the age of 12, it is believed that the areas of the brain that are used most will be strengthened and cells in the brain that are not used tend to die. What you do with your brain in your teen years probably decides how your brain will work for the rest of your life. If a teen spends endless hours watching TV, the neural connections that help the brain process TV are what will be strengthened. It is clear, therefore, that how young people spend their time is of great importance.
Surprisingly, and different from earlier beliefs, the brain is still developing even in the early twenties. Areas of the brain that are related to emotion, decision making, reasoning, and problem solving are still not fully developed. This may go some way toward explaining why car accident rates in young people are significantly higher than those among older people. Young people don’t have the necessary skills to make complex judgments while driving.
There are also differences in the way brains develop when it comes to gender. It appears that girls are ready to process more challenging information earlier than boys, with the area of the brain responsible for this activity peaking at the age of 14 to 16 in boys, a full two years later than girls. In addition, studies have shown that girls and boys process language input in different parts of their brains. Girls typically tend to do better than boys in language, which means that they have more brain matter responsible for language skills.
This kind of research raises important questions about how boys and girls should be taught in school to maximize (使最大化) their learning. For example, the idea of single-sex education should perhaps be taken into consideration. Experts say that we would do well to revisit the timing of the subjects taught in school, as some parts of the brain develop before others. Additionally, what we understand about the teenage brain should perhaps be taken into consideration when laws are being made with regard to the minimum (最低的) driving age.
27. According to the passage, young people are more likely to have car accidents because _______.
A. they fail to realize the importance of skills
B. they don’t have the necessary skills in driving
C. certain areas in their brains are not fully developed
D. their brains tend to be influenced by their emotions
28. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Earlier beliefs show the brain is still developing in the early twenties.
B. Girls are better at language because they are devoted to language learning.
C. How people spend their time when they’re teenagers affects their future life.
D. Gender makes no difference when it comes to the physical state of the brain.
29. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that ________.
A. single-sex education may benefit teenagers
B. the time when school starts should be put off
C. lawmakers will lower the minimum driving age
D. the number of subjects in school might be changed
30. Which would be the best title for this passage?
A. Age and the Brain B. Genders and the Brain
C. Mapping the Brain D. The Developing Brain

I always dreamed of pulling off the surprise prank (玩笑) of a lifetime. Well, thanks to a little determination, some luck, and the power of love, my dream became a reality.
My family is Canadian, although my sister studied in Australia. She was graduating just before Christmas, but because my school schedule was busy, I would not be able to make it down in time for her graduation. She was understandably disappointed, and I felt guilty that I couldn’t be there for her on this most special occasion.
While I was talking to my teacher the week before the big event, I mentioned that I would be missing my sister’s graduation. Surprisingly, she commented, “Well, if you want to go, I have no problem with it, so go ahead!” I couldn’t believe my luck! I nearly jumped for joy.
Immediately, I called the airline. Amazingly, even during the busy Christmas season, I was able to change my ticket to arrive the day before my sister’s graduation.
With this fantastic news, I was bursting to tell my sister. But, wait. For a grand surprise, I needed a much more dramatic arrival than just a ring of the doorbell. What if I could arrive in a box? That would be the best Christmas present for my sister.
Although I was leaving in less than seventy-two hours, I started searching for delivery companies. The only one willing to go along with my Christmas surprise, was CouriersPlease. At first the manager said no, because Christmas was their busiest season. But then later, he kindly volunteered to deliver me himself.
Upon arrival in Australia, the manager and his colleagues loaded me in the box and carried me all the way up to my sister’s, where they rang the doorbell and announced they had a delivery for her. I couldn’t see the look on my sister’s face, but I could tell from her voice that she was both shocked and excited to receive such a huge gift box. I will never forget the look on her face as she opened the box.
It was such a great Christmas present for my sister, that is, for me to be able to go to her graduation, and in the process, show her how much I loved her. It also served as a lesson for me: _____________________.

Big Problems, Simple Solutions
Inventions are improving health and well-being in communities around the world. Speakers at recent TED events have shared simple and inexpensive solutions that can solve everyday problems.
FUEL BRIQUETTES （燃料砖）
In the developing world, smoke from indoor cooking kills more than 2 million children each year. In fact, it’s the number one cause of death of children under five. Amy Smith, founder of D-Lab at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), discovered a way to make a safe cooking fuel. The material she uses is also free and plentiful: farm waste.
Smith invented a low-cost device that turns farm waste into fuel briquettes. These briquettes produce smoke that is less dangerous than the smoke from other fuel. They also burn hotter and last longer. Farmers can make these briquettes from readily available waste. This invention has an economic benefit, too. Farmers can buy the device for $2 and sell briquettes they don’t use. Smith estimates (估算) that this can increase a farmer’s income by $500 a month.
DISASTER SHELTERS

Over 31 million people worldwide lose their homes every year due to natural disasters such as hurricanes and earthquakes. After these disasters, many people live in terrible conditions—in tents or in large stadiums with no privacy. Graphic designer Michael McDaniel invented inexpensive and temporary housing for people in these situations.
Called the Reaction Ex, these shelters are small, one-room houses that comfortably hold up to four people. They’re made from a plastic that is strong, recyclable, and super light. In fact, they’re so light that they can be lifted by hand and are very portable as well. McDaniel hopes that his invention will provide an affordable solution to help people rebuild their lives after a natural disaster.
16. The key goal to invent the fuel briquettes is to________.
A. increase family income
B. make full use of farm waste
C. get free and plentiful cooking fuel
D. protect kids from dangerous cooking smoke
17. What are the features of disaster shelters?
A. Light and affordable. B. Heavy and recyclable.
C. Big and comfortable. D. Small and breakable.
18. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To explain design methods. B. To introduce new inventions.
C. To report research findings. D. To advertise latest products.

Compassion may be something that one is born with, but actually being good at caring for others requires experience and a certain set of skills. An early opportunity to develop and practice these skills came with the birth of my brother when I was in 5th grade. Although it took great patience to deal with a small child, I found deep joy in something so simple as watching him grow day by day.
Not only did I enjoy taking care of my little brother, but I volunteered at the Organization for Special Needs Families (OSNF) in my neighborhood so I could apply and further develop my childcare skills. I was partnered with Matthew, a 10-year-old with curly blond hair and blue eyes. He didn’t look different from other kids, but he had difficulty controlling his emotions, especially anger. His biggest problem was that he couldn’t go to the toilet himself. Every day I had to clean up his mess if he pooped in his pants. It was just like the “good old days” with my little brother before I successfully toilet-trained him.
Although I was never going to be able to toilet-train Matthew, I was able to change his life in another way. We had swimming three times a week, but Matthew was hopelessly afraid of the water. At first, Matthew just sat on the steps of the pool and did nothing. I pushed him slowly down the stairs until he was at last standing in the shallowest part of the pool. The next day, I pushed him a little further into the water. By the third day, he completely trusted me to take him into the pool. Maybe my large size also helped give him a sense of security. He did not have to be afraid of anything when a 200-pound guy was holding him tight. I felt so proud as I saw him standing there in the pool, happily playing with other kids in the water. The OSNF adult leaders told me that I was the only volunteer who had been able to take care of Matthew well. I think what made the difference is the belief I had in Matthew, like how I had always believed in my little brother.
Helping Matthew “grow” to overcome his fear of water made me realize things do not happen overnight. Real magic is a result of patience, and miracles happen when one believes in them.
19. How did the author feel about taking care of his brother?
A. Tired. B. Joyful.
C. Proud. D. Stressed.
20. The author volunteered at OSNF because he wanted to ________.

A. control his emotions B. play with his friends
C. poop in the toilet D. stand in the pool
22. According to the author, what mattered most when he helped Matthew “grow”?
A. His large size and strong body.

Social Networking Sites: Are They Changing Human Communication?
It is hardly news that people are using the Internet to communicate with others more and more. Some people fear that someday we will no longer feel the need to talk to one another face to face. However, some recent studies suggest that people communicate, or stay in touch, even more than they used to. Whichever side you fall on, what is clear and without a doubt is that human communication has changed in the 21st century. But results of recent scientific studies may have us reconsider just how much our new communication forms have changed our world.
In June 2008, a British psychiatrist, Himanshu Tyagi, warned that communicating on social networking sites could have a negative effect on the generation of people born after 1990. This generation has never known a world without the Internet. Tyagi says that these people use the Internet to communicate with others so much that they may have trouble forming real relationships. Tyagi is concerned that people may start and end relationships over the Internet. Describing the Internet he said, “It’s a world where everything moves fast and changes all the time, where relationships are quickly ended at the click of a mouse.”
Another psychologist, Dr. Aric Sigman, warned of the physical effects that come with using social networking sites. He suggests that the reduction in the amount of time we spend interacting (互动交流) with people face to face could have biological effects on the human body. The results of his study suggest that, without real personal interaction, the body does not react the same way it would if people were meeting face to face. As a result, immune responses, even hormone levels, can be changed. These changes may lead to the development of illnesses, such as cancer.
Despite these warnings, studies can be found that show the positive sides of social networking sites. The results of one study show that using social networking sites has increased the self-esteem (自尊心) of young adults. Another suggests that college students using these sites feel more “connected” with people when they use them. In addition to scientific studies, there are many who feel that the benefits of social networking sites outweigh the possible negative sides. Many people, especially those who spend a lot of time at home, for various reasons, find the Internet a lifeline. They are able to communicate with many people using these sites.
Perhaps the key to this new communication style is self-control and common sense. If someone spends all of his time on the Internet, and never actually sees friends face to face, that seems like an unhealthy way to live. But if someone spends time on the Internet, some of which is spent arranging meetings for “real” time together, then it seems almost complementary (互补的). Balance is the key to keeping communication alive and well in the 21st century.
23. Which of the following ideas may Himanshu Tyagi agree with?
A. Social networking sites harm people of all ages.
B. The Internet weakens young people’s relationships.
C. The use of the Internet improves people’s immune system.
D. The online world pushes people to live a faster and better life.
24. What is Dr. Aric Sigman’s major concern about using social networking sites?
A. It will stop the face-to-face interaction.
B. It reduces the self-esteem of young adults.
C. It may cause some serious health problems.
D. It makes people feel less connected with others.
25. What does the underlined word “outweigh” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Are greater than. B. Are heavier than.
C. Are more effective than. D. Are more difficult than.
26. Which of the following shows the development of ideas in this passage?
CP: Central Point P: Point Sp: Sub-point(次要点) C: Conclusion
A. B.
C. D.
【答案】23. B 24. C 25. A 26. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇议论文。文章主要说明了社交网站改变人类沟通方式的好处和弊端，并强调了平衡两者关系的重要性。
【23题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“Tyagi says that these people use the Internet to communicate with others so much that they may have trouble forming real relationships. Tyagi is concerned that people may start and end relationships over the Internet. (Tyagi说，这些人使用Internet与他人进行交流太多，以至于他们可能难以建立真正的关系。Tyagi担心人们可能会通过Internet建立和终止关系)”可知，Himanshu Tyagi可能同意互联网削弱了年轻人的关系这个观点。故选B项。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“The results of his study suggest that, without real personal interaction, the body does not react the same way it would if people were meeting face to face. As a result, immune responses, even hormone levels, can be changed. These changes may lead to the development of illnesses, such as cancer. (他的研究结果表明，如果没有真正的个人互动，人体的反应就不会像人们面对面时那样。结果可以改变免疫反应，甚至激素水平。 这些变化可能导致疾病的发展，例如癌症)”可知，Dr. Aric Sigman担心的是使用社交网站可能会导致一些严重的健康问题。故选C项。
【25题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第四段中“Despite these warnings, studies can be found that show the positive sides of social networking sites. The results of one study show that using social networking sites has increased the self-esteem (自尊心) of young adults. Another suggests that college students using these sites feel more “connected” with people when they use them. (尽管有这些坏处，但研究表明社交网站的积极方面。一项研究的结果表明，使用社交网站提高了年轻人的自尊心。另一个表明，使用这些网站的大学生在使用这些网站时会感觉与他们之间的联系更多)”可知，此处表明使用社交网站的益处大于弊端。由此推知，划线词意为“超过”。故选A项。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“But results of recent scientific studies may have us reconsider just how much our new communication forms have changed our world. (但是，最近科学研究的结果可能使我们重新考虑新的交流形式已经改变了我们的世界)”是总述句也是文章的主旨句。第二段中“Himanshu Tyagi, warned that communicating on social networking sites could have a negative effect on the generation of people born after 1990. (Himanshu Tyagi警告说，在社交网站上进行交流可能会对1990年以后出生的人产生负面影响)”可知，这是分论点之一。第三段中“He suggests that the reduction in the amount of time we spend interacting (互动交流) with people face to face could have biological effects on the human body. (他表明减少我们与人面对面互动所花费的时间，可能会对人体产生生物上的影响)”是支持分论点一。结合“Despite these warnings, studies can be found that show the positive sides of social networking sites. (尽管有这些坏处，但研究表明社交网站的积极方面)”可知，这是分论点之二。同时，第四段中“Another suggests that college students using these sites feel more “connected” with people when they use them. (另一个表明，使用这些网站的大学生在使用这些网站时会感觉与他们之间的联系更多)”支持分论点二。根据最后一段中“But if someone spends time on the Internet, some of which is spent arranging meetings for “real” time together, then it seems almost complementary (互补的). Balance is the key to keeping communication alive and well in the 21st century. (但是，如果有人花时间在Internet上，其中一些花在安排面对面交流，那么似乎是可以互补的。 寻求平衡是在21世纪保持沟通畅通无阻的关键因素)”可知，此句是对文章的总结。D项行文结构符合文章行文脉络。故选D项。
D
At the heart of psychology is understanding behavior, and understanding behavior has much to do with understanding the brain. Neuroscientists (神经系统科学家) have become more efficient at mapping the brain and have gained more understanding of how the brain develops and works. Truly, differences in behavior as we age and between genders, are most likely explained by the physical state of and changes in our brains.
Around the age of 12 it is believed that the areas of the brain that are used most will be strengthened and cells in the brain that are not used tend to die. What you do with your brain in your teen years probably decides how your brain will work for the rest of your life. If a teen spends endless hours watching TV, the neural connections that help the brain process TV are what will be strengthened. It is clear, therefore, that how young people spend their time is of great importance.
Surprisingly, and different from earlier beliefs, the brain is still developing even in the early twenties. Areas of the brain that are related to emotion, decision making, reasoning, and problem solving are still not fully developed. This may go some way toward explaining why car accident rates in young people are significantly higher than those among older people. Young people don’t have the necessary skills to make complex judgments while driving.
There are also differences in the way brains develop when it comes to gender. It appears that girls are ready to process more challenging information earlier than boys, with the area of the brain responsible for this activity peaking at the age of 14 to 16 in boys, a full two years later than girls. In addition, studies have shown that girls and boys process language input in different parts of their brains. Girls typically tend to do better than boys in language, which means that they have more brain matter responsible for language skills.
This kind of research raises important questions about how boys and girls should be taught in school to maximize (使最大化) their learning. For example, the idea of single-sex education should perhaps be taken into consideration. Experts say that we would do well to revisit the timing of the subjects taught in school, as some parts of the brain develop before others. Additionally, what we understand about the teenage brain should perhaps be taken into consideration when laws are being made with regard to the minimum (最低的) driving age.
27. According to the passage, young people are more likely to have car accidents because _______.
A. they fail to realize the importance of skills
B. they don’t have the necessary skills in driving
C. certain areas in their brains are not fully developed
D. their brains tend to be influenced by their emotions
28. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Earlier beliefs show the brain is still developing in the early twenties.
B. Girls are better at language because they are devoted to language learning.
C. How people spend their time when they’re teenagers affects their future life.
D. Gender makes no difference when it comes to the physical state of the brain.
29. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that ________.
A. single-sex education may benefit teenagers
B. the time when school starts should be put off
C. lawmakers will lower the minimum driving age
D. the number of subjects in school might be changed
30. Which would be the best title for this passage?
A. Age and the Brain B. Genders and the Brain
C. Mapping the Brain D. The Developing Brain
【答案】27. C 28. C 29. A 30. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文，主要介绍了人类的大脑在不断的发展。
【27题详解】
细节理解题。根据原文第三段“Areas of the brain that are related to emotion, decision making, reasoning, and problem solving are still not fully developed. This may go some way toward explaining why car accident rates in young people are significantly higher than those among older people.”可知，大脑中与情感、决策、推理论证和问题解决有关的大脑区域尚未发育完全，这可以解释为何年轻人的交通事故发生率显著高于中老年人。C选项“大脑中的某些区域尚未发育完全”符合原文。完成题目时应注意排除干扰项B，第三段最后一句提到年轻人缺乏的是驾驶时做出复杂判断的必要能力（make complex judgments while driving），而不是缺乏驾驶的必要能力，B选项偷换概念。综上应选C。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。原文第二段举了12岁左右的青少年看电视的例子，并明确指出“What you do with your brain in your teen years probably decides how your brain will work for the rest of your life.”（在青少年时期你用你的大脑干什么很可能会决定余下的一生你的大脑是如何运转的），文中提到如果青少年没完没了地看电视，那么大脑中与此有关的细胞就会活跃发达，其它部分会退化，并总结道“It is clear, therefore, that how young people spend their time is of great importance”，因此，年轻人怎样花他们的时间（对他们的未来发展、未来生活）十分重要。由此判断出，人们在青少年时期如何打发时间会影响他们未来的生活。故选C。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。本题问的是从最后一段可以推断出什么，在倒数第二段文章提到男女性别不同，大脑发展规律有别，最后一段进一步说这样的研究提出了一个问题——即学校应该如何教育男孩和女孩最大限度地提高他们的学习能力？紧接着作者举了例子“For example, the idea of single-sex education should perhaps be taken into consideration.”（例如，男女分开、因才施策的点子或许应该被纳入考虑），结合前文的内容可合理推断，这里的“纳入考虑”正是基于这种教育或许对青少年有益，由此推断出分男女的教育对青少年有益，故选A。
【30题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据第一段“Neuroscientists (神经系统科学家) have become more efficient at mapping the brain and have gained more understanding of how the brain develops and works. Truly, differences in behavior as we age and between genders, are most likely explained by the physical state of and changes in our brains.”可知，神经科学家在绘制大脑图谱方面变得更加高效，对大脑的发育和运作有了更多的了解。的确，随着年龄的增长和性别的差异，很可能是由我们大脑的生理状态和变化来解释的。D选项“不断发展中的大脑”适合做标题。故选D。

44. ___________ (protect) the endangered animals, the government has set up some nature reserves. （所给词的适当形式填空）
【答案】To protect
【解析】
【详解】考查动词不定式。句意：为了保护濒危动物，政府已经建立了一些自然保护区。分析句子结构可知，本句已有谓语动词has set up，且空处没有连词，所以空处需用非谓语动词作状语，此处表示为了保护濒危动物，所以空处需用动词不定式作目的状语，句首单词首字母需大写。故填To protect。

【答案】is celebrated
【解析】
【详解】考查时态和语态。句意：端午节是在农历五月初五。由on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month可知时态是一般现在时，描述一个客观的事实；主语为The Dragon Boat Festival，与celebrate之间是被动关系，因此谓语动词要用一般现在时的被动语态；The Dragon Boat Festival是单数，谓语动词用单数。故填is celebrated。
III. 完成句子（共5小题; 第63、64题每题2分, 第65、66、67题每题3分, 共13分）根据括号中所给提示完成下列句子。
48. Joe正努力在数学方面跟上其他同学。（keep up with）（汉译英）
【答案】Joe is trying to keep up with others in math.
【解析】
【详解】考查动词短语和时态。由句意可知，时态是现在进行时。表示“跟得上”可用动词短语keep up with，表示“努力做某事”可用动词短语try to do sth.，故谓语动词为is trying to keep up with；宾语为“其他同学”，要用复数，可用others或other classmates。故翻译为Joe is trying to keep up with others in math.
49. 我发现做义工对青少年非常有益。（voluntary，helpful）（汉译英）
【答案】I found doing voluntary work very helpful to teenagers.
【解析】
【详解】考查形容词。分析句子结构可知，“我发现做义工对青少年非常有益”可用“find+宾语+宾语补足语”这一结构，根据句意可知，句子描述的是过去的事，应用一般过去时，所以find应用过去式found；其中“做义工”可用doing voluntary work来表示，作宾语；“对青少年非常有益”可用very helpful to teenagers来表示，作宾语补足语，故句子可翻译为：I found doing voluntary work very helpful to teenagers.
50. 如果不放弃，你的努力会得到回报。（pay off）（汉译英）
【答案】If you don’t give up, your efforts will pay off.
【解析】
【详解】考查条件状语从句和固定短语。“如果”表示一种假设，应使用If引导的条件状语从句，从句部分用一般现在时，主句部分用一般将来时。动词短语pay off表示“（某行动）取得成功，使得到回报”，使用主动语态，因而此处使用pay off翻译得当。故译为：If you don’t give up, your efforts will pay off.
51. 我的新学校与以前的学校有很多不同。（differ, in many ways）（汉译英）
【答案】My new school differs from my previous one in many ways.
【解析】

I always dreamed of pulling off the surprise prank (玩笑) of a lifetime. Well, thanks to a little determination, some luck, and the power of love, my dream became a reality.
My family is Canadian, although my sister studied in Australia. She was graduating just before Christmas, but because my school schedule was busy, I would not be able to make it down in time for her graduation. She was understandably disappointed, and I felt guilty that I couldn’t be there for her on this most special occasion.
While I was talking to my teacher the week before the big event, I mentioned that I would be missing my sister’s graduation. Surprisingly, she commented, “Well, if you want to go, I have no problem with it, so go ahead!” I couldn’t believe my luck! I nearly jumped for joy.
Immediately, I called the airline. Amazingly, even during the busy Christmas season, I was able to change my ticket to arrive the day before my sister’s graduation.
With this fantastic news, I was bursting to tell my sister. But, wait. For a grand surprise, I needed a much more dramatic arrival than just a ring of the doorbell. What if I could arrive in a box? That would be the best Christmas present for my sister.
Although I was leaving in less than seventy-two hours, I started searching for delivery companies. The only one willing to go along with my Christmas surprise, was CouriersPlease. At first the manager said no, because Christmas was their busiest season. But then later, he kindly volunteered to deliver me himself.
Upon arrival in Australia, the manager and his colleagues loaded me in the box and carried me all the way up to my sister’s, where they rang the doorbell and announced they had a delivery for her. I couldn’t see the look on my sister’s face, but I could tell from her voice that she was both shocked and excited to receive such a huge gift box. I will never forget the look on her face as she opened the box.
It was such a great Christmas present for my sister, that is, for me to be able to go to her graduation, and in the process, show her how much I loved her. It also served as a lesson for me: _____________________.

Dear Jim,
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Yours,
Li Hua
【答案】Dear Jim,
I am glad to learn that you would like to exercise to keep fit. I believe running is the best choice. My reasons are as follows.
First of all, the physical benefits from running have long been recognized as it helps increase the body’s flow of blood and oxygen, which thus strengthens the immune system and reduces the risk of diseases. What’s more, running can certainly become a long-term hobby, since it takes only a pair of running shoes and can easily and flexibly be added to your schedule. Last but not least, running can improve one’s mood and particularly provide relief from pain or tension. Therefore, you can also achieve mental well-being if you take up running as a hobby. All in all, I’d like to recommend running as a sport that you can do regularly.
Why not give it a try? Just put on your trainers and get started. Then keep going. I’m sure you will get a lot out of running.
Best wishes!
Yours,
Li Hua
