“My wn philsphy f Barbie,” Handler wrte in her autbigraphy, “was that thrugh the dll, the little girl culd be anything she wanted t be. Barbie always represented the fact that a wman had chices.”
There’s even a Barbie fr cancer patients — Brave Barbie — a partnership between Mattel and CureSearch that sends a bald (光头的) Barbie t families affected by cancer. “Gifting my daughter a Barbie wh suffered frm cancer was tremendus,” Michelle, a cancer survivr said, “We wuld play with that Barbie tgether and I’d heartbreakingly watch her pretend t take the dll t the hspital fr chem (化疗), r place its lng wig n tp f its head and tell the dll ‘It’s time t be beautiful again.’”
Bald Barbie was super brave and went n awesme adventures after chem. Smetimes she felt sick and needed t sleep, but wuld feel much better after a rest. Bald Barbie always beat the cancer and went n t live a lng and happy life with her family. That Barbie became s much mre than a plastic dll — she was a means f cmmunicatin and a cping mechanism during an extremely distressing time fr little families.

【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的““Gifting my daughter a Barbie wh suffered frm cancer was tremendus,” Michelle, a cancer survivr said, “We wuld play with that Barbie tgether and I’d heartbreakingly watch her pretend t take the dll t the hspital fr chem (化疗), r place its lng wig n tp f its head and tell the dll ‘It’s time t be beautiful again.’”(“送给我患癌症的女儿一个芭比娃娃真是太棒了，”癌症幸存者米歇尔说，“给我的女儿一个患了癌症的芭比娃娃是一件非常美妙的事情。我们会一起玩那个芭比娃娃，我心碎地看着她假装带着芭比娃娃去医院化疗，或者把它的长假发戴在它的头上，告诉它‘是时候变漂亮了’”)”可推知，Michelle看到女儿和Brave Barbie一起感到欣慰的同时也很难过。故选A。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段的“Bald Barbie always beat the cancer and went n t live a lng and happy life with her family. That Barbie became s much mre than a plastic dll — she was a means f cmmunicatin and a cping mechanism during an extremely distressing time fr little families.(秃头芭比总是战胜癌症，并继续与她的家人过着漫长而幸福的生活。芭比娃娃不仅仅是一个塑料娃娃——她是一个沟通的工具，也是一个在小家庭极度痛苦时期的应对机制)”可推知，Brave Barbie对于米歇尔一家而言是可靠的情感支持，帮助女儿和这个家庭应对极度痛苦的阶段。故选A。

C
It is reprted that abut 14 percent f Americans aged ver 12 have truble in hearing. And hearing lss increases dramatically t 50 percent r mre fr thse aged ver 70. It ften cmes n s gradually that many ignre it. Only an estimated 15 t 25 percent f adults wuld use hearing aids, and the use is lwest amng peple wh have less access t health care.
Hwever, recent research has revealed that even mild r mderate hearing lss in lder adults is assciated with cgnitive (认知) decline. Older adults with hearing lss are mre likely t develp dementia (痴呆), and the likelihd increases with the severity f the lss.
In July, Frank R. Lin, a prfessr frm Jhns Hpkins University, presented results frm a first-f-its-kind randmized clinical trial. Participants are 977 adults aged between 70 and 84, including thse wh have mre risk factrs fr develping dementia and thse wh are relatively healthy. They received best-practice hearing care, including hearing aids. Three years later, hearing aids did make a difference t the participants in cgnitive decline. Especially fr thse wh were at the higher risk fr dementia, a 48 percent cut in risk f cgnitive decline culd be made if they gt hearing aids.
When hearing lss is untreated, the brain’s rganizatin changes, says Anu Sharma, an auditry neurscientist f the University f Clrad Bulder. In adults with mild hearing lss, studies shw a decrease in gray matter (灰质) in brain. Sharma fund early signs that visin and tuch areas f the brain cver and change underused hearing areas. Adults with hearing lss als shw mre activity in wrking memry areas. They need t make extra effrts just t listen, Sharma says, which may exhaust cgnitive reserves.
Hearing lss is als assciated with mre falls, higher health-care csts, and increased lneliness and scial islatin. “Hearing is fundamental t healthy aging,” says Nichlas Reed, wh wrked with Frank R. Lin n the cgnitive-decline study.
8. What can we learn frm the figures in the first paragraph?
A. Americans pay special attentin t their hearing.
B. Americans are unaware f danger f hearing lss.
C. Many Americans with hearing lss stay untreated.
D. Mst Americans are suffering serius hearing lss.
9. What did Frank R. Lin’s clinical trial reveal?
A. Hearing aids helped reduce cgnitive decline.
B. Hearing aids wrked n healthy peple.
C. Cgnitive decline culd result in hearing lss.
D. Cgnitive decline was unrelated t age.
10. What is paragraph 4 centred n?
A. What sign will appear befre lsing hearing.
B. Hw hearing lss impacts cgnitive decline.
C. Why hearing lss is left untreated by peple.
D. Hw ur brain discurages cgnitive decline.
11. Which can be the best title fr the text?
A. Hearing lss—a new factr cnnected with dementia
B. Cgnitive decline, caused by mre than hearing lss
C. Dementia—an incurable but preventable disease
D. Hearing lss, having limited access t healthcare
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. B 11. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了研究表明，老年人的听力损失与认知能力下降有关。有听力损失的老年人更容易患痴呆症，而且这种可能性随着听力损失的严重程度而增加。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“It is reprted that abut 14 percent f Americans aged ver 12 have truble in hearing. And hearing lss increases dramatically t 50 percent r mre fr thse aged ver 70. It ften cmes n s gradually that many ignre it. Only an estimated 15 t 25 percent f adults wuld use hearing aids, and the use is lwest amng peple wh have less access t health care.”（据报道，大约14%的12岁以上的美国人有听力障碍。对于70岁以上的人来说，听力损失会急剧增加到50%或更多。它的发生往往是如此缓慢，以至于许多人都忽略了它。据估计，只有15%到25%的成年人会使用助听器，而在获得医疗保健机会较少的人群中，助听器的使用率最低。）可推知，我们可以从第一段的数字中了解到许多听力受损的美国人没有得到治疗。故选C项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Three years later, hearing aids did make a difference t the participants in cgnitive decline. Especially fr thse wh were at the higher risk fr dementia, a 48 percent cut in risk f cgnitive decline culd be made if they gt hearing aids.”（三年后，助听器确实对认知衰退的参与者产生了影响。特别是对于那些患痴呆症的风险较高的人来说，如果他们戴上助听器，认知能力下降的风险可以降低48%。）可知，Frank R. Lin的临床试验揭示了助听器有助于减少认知能力下降。故选A项。
【10题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段“When hearing lss is untreated, the brain’s rganizatin changes, says Anu Sharma, an auditry neurscientist f the University f Clrad Bulder. In adults with mild hearing lss, studies shw a decrease in gray matter in brain. Sharma fund early signs that visin and tuch areas f the brain cver and change underused hearing areas. Adults with hearing lss als shw mre activity in wrking memry areas. They need t make extra effrts just t listen, Sharma says, which may exhaust cgnitive reserves.”（科罗拉多大学博尔德分校(University f Clrad Bulder)的听觉神经科学家阿努·夏尔马(Anu Sharma)说，如果听力损失得不到治疗，大脑的组织就会发生变化。在轻度听力损失的成年人中，研究表明大脑灰质减少。夏尔马发现早期迹象表明，大脑的视觉和触觉区域覆盖并改变了未充分利用的听觉区域。患有听力损失的成年人在工作记忆区域也表现出更多的活动。他们需要付出额外的努力来倾听，Sharma说，这可能会耗尽认知储备。）可知，第4段的重点讲的是听力损失如何影响认知能力下降。故选B项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及第二段“Hwever, recent research has revealed that even mild r mderate hearing lss in lder adults is assciated with cgnitive (认知的) decline. Older adults with hearing lss are mre likely t develp dementia (痴呆), and the likelihd increases with the severity f the lss.”（然而，最近的研究表明，即使是老年人轻度或中度的听力损失也与认知能力下降有关。有听力损失的老年人更容易患痴呆症，而且这种可能性随着听力损失的严重程度而增加。）可知，文章主要讲的研究表明，老年人的听力损失与认知能力下降有关。有听力损失的老年人更容易患痴呆症，而且这种可能性随着听力损失的严重程度而增加。故文章的标题是“听力损失——与痴呆有关的新因素”。故选A项。
D
D yu remember all thse years when scientists argued that smking wuld kill us but the dubters insisted that we didn’t knw fr sure? That the evidence was nt enugh, the science uncertain? They even thught that the anti-smking grup was ut t destry ur way f life and the gvernment shuld stay ut f the way. Lts f Americans believed that nnsense, and ver three decades, sme 10 millin smkers went t early graves.
There are upsetting similarities tday, as scientists try t awaken us t the grwing threat f glbal warming. The latest was an expert grup frm the Natinal Academy f Sciences, telling us that the Earth’s atmsphere is definitely warming and that the prblem is largely man-made. The president f the Natinal Academy, Bruce Alberts, added that “Science never has all the answers. But science des prvide us with the best available guide t the future, and it is critical that ur natin and the wrld base imprtant plicies n the best judgments that science can prvide cncerning the future cnsequences f present actins.”
Just as n smking, vices nw cme frm many quarters insisting that the science abut glbal warming is incmplete, that it’s OK t keep puring smke int the air until we knw fr sure. This is a dangerus game: by the time 100 percent f the evidence is in, it may be t late. With the risks bvius and grwing, a careful peple wuld take ut an insurance plicy nw.
Frtunately, the gvernment is starting t pay attentin. But it’s bvius that a majrity f the president’s advisers still dn’t take glbal warming seriusly. Instead f a plan f actin, they cntinue t ask fr mre research — a classic case f “paralysis by analysis”.
T serve as respnsible keepers f the planet, we must press frward n deeper atmspheric and ceanic research. But research alne is inadequate. The legislative(立法的) actin shuld be taken t prtect the planet, and t prtect urselves.
12. What statement did lts f Americans agree with?
A. Smking was clsely cnnected with death.
B. Peple had the freedm t chse their wn way f life.
C. The number f early deaths f smkers was small.
D. Anti-smking peple were usually talking nnsense.
13. Accrding t Bruce Alberts, what can science serve as?
A. A guide.B. A judge.C. A critic.D. A prtectr.
14. What des the underlined phrase “paralysis by analysis” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Endless studies kill actin.B. Careful investigatin reveals truth.
C. Adequate planning ensures success.D. Extensive research helps decisin-making.
15. Why des the authr assciate the issue f glbal warming with that f smking?
A. Bth f them are ignred by the gvernment.
B. A lessn frm the latter can be applied t the frmer.
C. The utcme f the latter wrsens the frmer.
D. Bth f them have turned frm bad t wrse.
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. A 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文，主要讲述了全球变暖问题与吸烟问题在科学面前有相似之处，都很难引起人们的重视，并呼吁进行研究和立法来保护我们的地球。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中的“They even thught that the anti-smking grup was ut t destry ur way f life and the gvernment shuld stay ut f the way.(他们甚至认为反吸烟组织是要破坏我们的生活方式，政府应该置身事外。)”可知，吸烟的支持者认为反吸烟组织在破坏他们的生活方式，希望政府不要管，由此可推测出，他们同意人们有选择自己生活方式的自由。故选B。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中Bruce Alberts的话“science des prvide us with the best available guide t the future”可知，他认为科学确实为我们的未来提供了最好的指导，由此可推测出，科学可充当指引。故选A。
【14题详解】
短语猜测题。根据第四段中的“Instead f a plan f actin, they cntinue t ask fr mre research”可知，总统的顾问没有指定行动计划，而是继续要求更多的研究，“a classic case f ‘paralysis by analysis’”在这里是对前面的总结。由此可推测出，paralysis by analysis意为“分析瘫痪”，在这里可理解为无休无止的研究最终会阻止采取行动。故选A。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“There are upsetting similarities tday, as scientists try t awaken us t the grwing threat f glbal warming.(今天，当科学家们试图唤醒我们意识到全球变暖日益严重的威胁时，有着令人不安的相似之处。)”、第三段“Just as n smking, vices nw cme frm many quarters insisting that the science abut glbal warming is incmplete, that it’s OK t keep puring smke int the air until we knw fr sure. This is a dangerus game: by the time 100 percent f the evidence is in, it may be t late. With the risks bvius and grwing, a careful peple wuld take ut an insurance plicy nw.(就像关于吸烟一样，现在来自许多方面的声音坚持认为，关于全球变暖的科学是不完整的，在我们确定之前，继续向空气中倾倒烟雾是可以的。这是一场危险的游戏：当100%的证据都出来时，可能为时已晚。随着风险的明显和增长，谨慎的人现在会购买保险。)”和最后一段“T serve as respnsible keepers f the planet, we must press frward n deeper atmspheric and ceanic research. But research alne is inadequate. The legislative(立法的) actin shuld be taken t prtect the planet, and t prtect urselves.(为了成为地球负责任的守护者，我们必须推进更深层次的大气和海洋研究。但仅凭研究是不够的。应该采取立法行动来保护地球，保护我们自己。)”可知，作者认为，全球变暖问题和吸烟问题有相似之处，科学家很难使人们接受这两个问题的严重性，而结合吸烟问题的后果可知，直到有充分的证据后才保护环境，这可能为时已晚，最后作者呼吁进行研究和立法来保护地球。由此可推测出，作者将两个问题联系起来是因为我们从吸烟问题上得到的教训可以应用在全球变暖问题上。故选B。

【答案】16. F 17. G 18. A 19. E 20. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要就如何传递复杂的信息提出了一系列的建议。
【16题详解】
根据空前“Did yu ever have t read a presentatin where yu felt like yu’re lst in cnfusing terms, data and cncepts? Are yu giving thers this same experience? (你是否曾经读过一篇演讲，感觉自己迷失在混乱的术语、数据和概念中？你会给别人同样的经历吗？)”可知空前就交流中可能出现的术语、数据和概念的混乱提出了两个问题，根据空后“But there are ways yu can simplify yur presentatin and reengage yur audience. Here’s hw yu can get cmplex infrmatin acrss. (但是有一些方法可以简化你的演讲并重新吸引你的听众。下面是如何传递复杂信息的方法。)”可知此处指出有一些可以传递复杂信息的方法，空处承上启下，所以空处应该提出传递复杂信息这个话题，F项Cmmunicating cmplex infrmatin is a cmmn challenge in presentatins. (在演讲中，传达复杂的信息是一个常见的挑战。)提出传递复杂信息这个话题，承接上文，引出下文，符合上下文语境。故选F项。
【17题详解】
根据空前“Use interactive cntent. It gets the readers mre invlved in yur presentatin by letting them play an active part. (使用交互式内容。这会让读者更积极地参与到你的演讲中来。)”可知本段的建议是使用交互式内容，根据空后“Beynd that, questinnaires and chatbts prvide persnalized and specific answers t readers as part f yur presentatin. (除此之外，问卷调查和聊天机器人为读者提供个性化和具体的答案，作为你演讲的一部分。)”可知此处仍然讲的是交互式内容的好处，空处呈上启下，所以空处应该就空前所提到的交互式内容举出例子，G项Fr example, allw them t chse the cntent rute they wish t take and cntrl the pace. (例如，允许他们选择他们想要的内容路线并控制节奏。)举例说明如何使用交互式内容，承接上文，引出下文，符合上下文语境。故选G项。
【18题详解】
空处位于句首，应是本段的主旨句。根据空后“N ne will read a presentatin with a thusand wrds. D everyne a favr and use images. (没有人会读一篇一千字的报告。帮大家一个忙，使用图片。)”可知此处讲的是要善于运用图片而不是篇幅较长的文字来展示自己所讲的内容，所以空处的建议应该是运用展示而不是讲的方式来传递复杂信息，A项Shw, dn’t tell(展示，不要告诉)指出要用展示的方式，概括了本段的主旨大意，符合上下文语境。故选A项。
【19题详解】
根据本段小标题“Narrate yur cntent. (叙述你的内容。)”可知本段的建议是运用讲故事的方式来传递复杂信息，根据空后“Whether it’s thrugh text t speech Al r vide bubbles, centering yur presentatin arund a stry can help guide yur audience thrugh the cmplexity, making it mre digestible, engaging, and memrable. (无论是通过文本到语音还是视频气泡，以故事为中心的演讲都可以帮助引导观众理解复杂的内容，使其更容易理解、更吸引人、更难忘。)”可知此处讲的仍然是通过讲故事的形式来传递信息的好处，所以空后应该对这一建议所能采用的方法进行进一步的解释，E项Strytelling is anther pwerful tl fr cmmunicating cmplex cncepts. (讲故事是传达复杂概念的另一个强大工具。)指出了讲故事是叙述的传达复杂概念的一种强大工具，符合上下文语境。故选E项。
【20题详解】
根据空前“Use examples and fables. They can help explain clearly the cmplexity f ideas fr they are what we’ve already knwn and understd. (使用例子和表格。它们可以帮助我们清楚地解释思想的复杂性，因为它们是我们已经知道和理解的。)”可知本段的建议是使用例子和表格来传递复杂信息，根据空后“Mre imprtantly, the real secret lies in selecting examples that are nt just familiar but als deeply relevant-thse are the nes that will truly ring with yur listeners. (更重要的是，真正的秘诀在于选择那些不仅熟悉而且非常相关的例子——那些能真正引起听众共鸣的例子。)”可知此处依旧讲的使用例子的好处，空处承上启下，所以空处应该讲的是运用例子和表格来传递复杂信息的好处，C项This makes the cmplex cncepts less new and mre familiar. (这使得复杂的概念不再那么新鲜，而是更加熟悉。)指出使用例子和表格来传递复杂信息的好处，符合上下文语境。故选C项。

【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。介绍了黄河沿岸羊皮筏的制作流程和历史作用。
41题详解】
考查冠词。句意：筏子的安全气囊由整张羊皮制成，经过加热脱毛、浸咸油、缝制、烘干、吹气等诸多工序。sheepskin意为“带毛绵羊皮”，为可数名词，句中用的单数，前用不定冠词修饰，whle为辅音音素开头，用a修饰。故填a。
【42题详解】
考查连词。句意：筏子的安全气囊由整张羊皮制成，经过加热脱毛、浸咸油、缝制、烘干、吹气等诸多工序。分析句子结构可知，blwing和前文的heating t remve hair, saking in salty il, sewing, drying并列，应用and连接。故填and。
【43题详解】
考查动词时态和语态。句意：然后将安全气囊固定在一个木制支架上，使其能够在水上运输人员和货物。分析句子结构可知，fasten作本句谓语，主语是airbags，两者是被动关系，用被动语态，前文用的是一般现在时，此处也用一般现在时。故填are fastened。
【44题详解】
考查动词时态。句意：据说古代最大的羊皮筏由600多个羊皮气囊组成，长22米，宽7米，令人印象深刻。分析句子结构可知，cnsist作从句的谓语，根据时间状语in ld times可知，用一般过去时。故填cnsisted。
【45题详解】
考查名词。句意：据说古代最大的羊皮筏由600多个羊皮气囊组成，长22米，宽7米，令人印象深刻。分析句子结构可知，空前是冠词，所以空处应填名词，wide的名词形式是width。故填width。
【46题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：20世纪50年代以前，铁路尚未开通，公路交通不便，羊皮筏是黄河沿岸居民最主要的交通工具。分析句子结构可知，空处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词是前文的时间，在从句中作时间状语，用when引导。故填when。
【47题详解】
考查形容词。句意：20世纪50年代以前，铁路尚未开通，公路交通不便，羊皮筏是黄河沿岸居民最主要的交通工具。分析句子结构可知，空前是形容词，所以空处填形容词作表语，根据句意，应是incnvenient意为“不方便”符合语境。故填incnvenient。
【48题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：20世纪50年代以前，铁路尚未开通，公路交通不便，羊皮筏是黄河沿岸居民最主要的交通工具。分析句子结构可知，本句已有谓语动词served，所以live用非谓语形式，逻辑主语是residents，两者是主动关系，用现在分词作后置定语。故填living。
【49题详解】
考查介词。句意：然而，随着社会的飞速发展，羊皮筏已经在很大程度上发挥了它在运送人和货物方面的历史作用。此处是固定搭配：play rle in意为“在某方面起作用”。故填in。
【50题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：它已经成为人们在黄河上观光的工具。本句已有谓语动词has becme，所以d用非谓语形式，根据句意，此处应是用不定式做主语。故填t d。
第四部分 写作
第一节 短文改错

I hpe I will make great prgresses in English in this way.
【答案】1. but→and
2. easy→easily
3. the→a
4. write→written
5. refer→referred
6. 删除it
7. puzzling→puzzled
8. with→withut
9. 在was后加that
10. prgresses→prgress
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了作者爱好英语，在阅读的时候，常查单词，但是决定尝试不查单词阅读，发现也行得通。
【51题详解】
考查连词。句意：我喜欢学习英语，能轻松地记住单个单词。前后句意是并列顺承，不存在转折。故将but改为and。
【52题详解】
考查副词。句意：我喜欢学习英语，能轻松地记住单个单词。此处修饰动词“remember”，应用副词，作状语。故将easy改为easily。
【53题详解】
考查冠词。句意：然而，当涉及到阅读理解时，这真的是一个挑战。此处泛指“一个挑战”，应用不定冠词，challenge是以辅音音素开头的词，应用a。故将the改为a。
【54题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：上周末，我试着读了一本英文故事书来提高我的阅读能力。“write”和“strybk”构成动宾关系，应用过去分词，作定语，表被动和完成。故将write改为written。
【55题详解】
考查动词时态。句意：起初，每当我遇到生词时，我就查字典，我发现这不是很有帮助。此处描述过去的事情，应用一般过去时。故将refer改为referred。
【56题详解】
考查代词。句意：起初，每当我遇到生词时，我就查字典，我发现这不是很有帮助。“which”在定语从句中作“fund”的宾语，it多余。故删除it。
【57题详解】
考查形容词。句意：我经常对我读过的东西感到困惑。主语为人，应用-ed结尾形容词puzzled，修饰人的感情。故将puzzling改为puzzled。
【58题详解】
考查介词。句意：然后我试着不查生词就把一章读完。根据句意可知，此处指“没有查阅新单词”，应用介词withut。故将with改为withut。
【59题详解】
考查表语从句。句意：令我惊讶的是，我仅仅从上下文就能理解这个故事。此处引导的表语从句，that不充当任何成分，但不能省略。故在was后加that。
【60题详解】
考查名词。句意：我希望通过这种方式在英语方面取得很大的进步。prgress是不可数名词，没有复数形式。故将prgresses改为prgress。

It is reprted that abut 14 percent f Americans aged ver 12 have truble in hearing. And hearing lss increases dramatically t 50 percent r mre fr thse aged ver 70. It ften cmes n s gradually that many ignre it. Only an estimated 15 t 25 percent f adults wuld use hearing aids, and the use is lwest amng peple wh have less access t health care.
Hwever, recent research has revealed that even mild r mderate hearing lss in lder adults is assciated with cgnitive (认知) decline. Older adults with hearing lss are mre likely t develp dementia (痴呆), and the likelihd increases with the severity f the lss.
In July, Frank R. Lin, a prfessr frm Jhns Hpkins University, presented results frm a first-f-its-kind randmized clinical trial. Participants are 977 adults aged between 70 and 84, including thse wh have mre risk factrs fr develping dementia and thse wh are relatively healthy. They received best-practice hearing care, including hearing aids. Three years later, hearing aids did make a difference t the participants in cgnitive decline. Especially fr thse wh were at the higher risk fr dementia, a 48 percent cut in risk f cgnitive decline culd be made if they gt hearing aids.
When hearing lss is untreated, the brain’s rganizatin changes, says Anu Sharma, an auditry neurscientist f the University f Clrad Bulder. In adults with mild hearing lss, studies shw a decrease in gray matter (灰质) in brain. Sharma fund early signs that visin and tuch areas f the brain cver and change underused hearing areas. Adults with hearing lss als shw mre activity in wrking memry areas. They need t make extra effrts just t listen, Sharma says, which may exhaust cgnitive reserves.
Hearing lss is als assciated with mre falls, higher health-care csts, and increased lneliness and scial islatin. “Hearing is fundamental t healthy aging,” says Nichlas Reed, wh wrked with Frank R. Lin n the cgnitive-decline study.
8. What can we learn frm the figures in the first paragraph?
A. Americans pay special attentin t their hearing.
B. Americans are unaware f danger f hearing lss.
C. Many Americans with hearing lss stay untreated.
D. Mst Americans are suffering serius hearing lss.
9. What did Frank R. Lin’s clinical trial reveal?
A. Hearing aids helped reduce cgnitive decline.
B. Hearing aids wrked n healthy peple.
C. Cgnitive decline culd result in hearing lss.
D. Cgnitive decline was unrelated t age.
10. What is paragraph 4 centred n?
A. What sign will appear befre lsing hearing.
B. Hw hearing lss impacts cgnitive decline.
C. Why hearing lss is left untreated by peple.
D. Hw ur brain discurages cgnitive decline.
11. Which can be the best title fr the text?
A. Hearing lss—a new factr cnnected with dementia
B. Cgnitive decline, caused by mre than hearing lss
C. Dementia—an incurable but preventable disease
D. Hearing lss, having limited access t healthcare

【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了研究表明，老年人的听力损失与认知能力下降有关。有听力损失的老年人更容易患痴呆症，而且这种可能性随着听力损失的严重程度而增加。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“It is reprted that abut 14 percent f Americans aged ver 12 have truble in hearing. And hearing lss increases dramatically t 50 percent r mre fr thse aged ver 70. It ften cmes n s gradually that many ignre it. Only an estimated 15 t 25 percent f adults wuld use hearing aids, and the use is lwest amng peple wh have less access t health care.”（据报道，大约14%的12岁以上的美国人有听力障碍。对于70岁以上的人来说，听力损失会急剧增加到50%或更多。它的发生往往是如此缓慢，以至于许多人都忽略了它。据估计，只有15%到25%的成年人会使用助听器，而在获得医疗保健机会较少的人群中，助听器的使用率最低。）可推知，我们可以从第一段的数字中了解到许多听力受损的美国人没有得到治疗。故选C项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Three years later, hearing aids did make a difference t the participants in cgnitive decline. Especially fr thse wh were at the higher risk fr dementia, a 48 percent cut in risk f cgnitive decline culd be made if they gt hearing aids.”（三年后，助听器确实对认知衰退的参与者产生了影响。特别是对于那些患痴呆症的风险较高的人来说，如果他们戴上助听器，认知能力下降的风险可以降低48%。）可知，Frank R. Lin的临床试验揭示了助听器有助于减少认知能力下降。故选A项。
【10题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段“When hearing lss is untreated, the brain’s rganizatin changes, says Anu Sharma, an auditry neurscientist f the University f Clrad Bulder. In adults with mild hearing lss, studies shw a decrease in gray matter in brain. Sharma fund early signs that visin and tuch areas f the brain cver and change underused hearing areas. Adults with hearing lss als shw mre activity in wrking memry areas. They need t make extra effrts just t listen, Sharma says, which may exhaust cgnitive reserves.”（科罗拉多大学博尔德分校(University f Clrad Bulder)的听觉神经科学家阿努·夏尔马(Anu Sharma)说，如果听力损失得不到治疗，大脑的组织就会发生变化。在轻度听力损失的成年人中，研究表明大脑灰质减少。夏尔马发现早期迹象表明，大脑的视觉和触觉区域覆盖并改变了未充分利用的听觉区域。患有听力损失的成年人在工作记忆区域也表现出更多的活动。他们需要付出额外的努力来倾听，Sharma说，这可能会耗尽认知储备。）可知，第4段的重点讲的是听力损失如何影响认知能力下降。故选B项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及第二段“Hwever, recent research has revealed that even mild r mderate hearing lss in lder adults is assciated with cgnitive (认知的) decline. Older adults with hearing lss are mre likely t develp dementia (痴呆), and the likelihd increases with the severity f the lss.”（然而，最近的研究表明，即使是老年人轻度或中度的听力损失也与认知能力下降有关。有听力损失的老年人更容易患痴呆症，而且这种可能性随着听力损失的严重程度而增加。）可知，文章主要讲的研究表明，老年人的听力损失与认知能力下降有关。有听力损失的老年人更容易患痴呆症，而且这种可能性随着听力损失的严重程度而增加。故文章的标题是“听力损失——与痴呆有关的新因素”。故选A项。

D yu remember all thse years when scientists argued that smking wuld kill us but the dubters insisted that we didn’t knw fr sure? That the evidence was nt enugh, the science uncertain? They even thught that the anti-smking grup was ut t destry ur way f life and the gvernment shuld stay ut f the way. Lts f Americans believed that nnsense, and ver three decades, sme 10 millin smkers went t early graves.
There are upsetting similarities tday, as scientists try t awaken us t the grwing threat f glbal warming. The latest was an expert grup frm the Natinal Academy f Sciences, telling us that the Earth’s atmsphere is definitely warming and that the prblem is largely man-made. The president f the Natinal Academy, Bruce Alberts, added that “Science never has all the answers. But science des prvide us with the best available guide t the future, and it is critical that ur natin and the wrld base imprtant plicies n the best judgments that science can prvide cncerning the future cnsequences f present actins.”
Just as n smking, vices nw cme frm many quarters insisting that the science abut glbal warming is incmplete, that it’s OK t keep puring smke int the air until we knw fr sure. This is a dangerus game: by the time 100 percent f the evidence is in, it may be t late. With the risks bvius and grwing, a careful peple wuld take ut an insurance plicy nw.
Frtunately, the gvernment is starting t pay attentin. But it’s bvius that a majrity f the president’s advisers still dn’t take glbal warming seriusly. Instead f a plan f actin, they cntinue t ask fr mre research — a classic case f “paralysis by analysis”.
T serve as respnsible keepers f the planet, we must press frward n deeper atmspheric and ceanic research. But research alne is inadequate. The legislative(立法的) actin shuld be taken t prtect the planet, and t prtect urselves.
12. What statement did lts f Americans agree with?
A. Smking was clsely cnnected with death.
B. Peple had the freedm t chse their wn way f life.
C. The number f early deaths f smkers was small.
D. Anti-smking peple were usually talking nnsense.
13. Accrding t Bruce Alberts, what can science serve as?
A. A guide.B. A judge.C. A critic.D. A prtectr.
14. What des the underlined phrase “paralysis by analysis” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Endless studies kill actin.B. Careful investigatin reveals truth.
C. Adequate planning ensures success.D. Extensive research helps decisin-making.
15. Why des the authr assciate the issue f glbal warming with that f smking?
A. Bth f them are ignred by the gvernment.
B. A lessn frm the latter can be applied t the frmer.
C. The utcme f the latter wrsens the frmer.
D. Bth f them have turned frm bad t wrse.
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. A 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文，主要讲述了全球变暖问题与吸烟问题在科学面前有相似之处，都很难引起人们的重视，并呼吁进行研究和立法来保护我们的地球。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中的“They even thught that the anti-smking grup was ut t destry ur way f life and the gvernment shuld stay ut f the way.(他们甚至认为反吸烟组织是要破坏我们的生活方式，政府应该置身事外。)”可知，吸烟的支持者认为反吸烟组织在破坏他们的生活方式，希望政府不要管，由此可推测出，他们同意人们有选择自己生活方式的自由。故选B。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中Bruce Alberts的话“science des prvide us with the best available guide t the future”可知，他认为科学确实为我们的未来提供了最好的指导，由此可推测出，科学可充当指引。故选A。
【14题详解】
短语猜测题。根据第四段中的“Instead f a plan f actin, they cntinue t ask fr mre research”可知，总统的顾问没有指定行动计划，而是继续要求更多的研究，“a classic case f ‘paralysis by analysis’”在这里是对前面的总结。由此可推测出，paralysis by analysis意为“分析瘫痪”，在这里可理解为无休无止的研究最终会阻止采取行动。故选A。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“There are upsetting similarities tday, as scientists try t awaken us t the grwing threat f glbal warming.(今天，当科学家们试图唤醒我们意识到全球变暖日益严重的威胁时，有着令人不安的相似之处。)”、第三段“Just as n smking, vices nw cme frm many quarters insisting that the science abut glbal warming is incmplete, that it’s OK t keep puring smke int the air until we knw fr sure. This is a dangerus game: by the time 100 percent f the evidence is in, it may be t late. With the risks bvius and grwing, a careful peple wuld take ut an insurance plicy nw.(就像关于吸烟一样，现在来自许多方面的声音坚持认为，关于全球变暖的科学是不完整的，在我们确定之前，继续向空气中倾倒烟雾是可以的。这是一场危险的游戏：当100%的证据都出来时，可能为时已晚。随着风险的明显和增长，谨慎的人现在会购买保险。)”和最后一段“T serve as respnsible keepers f the planet, we must press frward n deeper atmspheric and ceanic research. But research alne is inadequate. The legislative(立法的) actin shuld be taken t prtect the planet, and t prtect urselves.(为了成为地球负责任的守护者，我们必须推进更深层次的大气和海洋研究。但仅凭研究是不够的。应该采取立法行动来保护地球，保护我们自己。)”可知，作者认为，全球变暖问题和吸烟问题有相似之处，科学家很难使人们接受这两个问题的严重性，而结合吸烟问题的后果可知，直到有充分的证据后才保护环境，这可能为时已晚，最后作者呼吁进行研究和立法来保护地球。由此可推测出，作者将两个问题联系起来是因为我们从吸烟问题上得到的教训可以应用在全球变暖问题上。故选B。

【答案】16. F 17. G 18. A 19. E 20. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要就如何传递复杂的信息提出了一系列的建议。
【16题详解】
根据空前“Did yu ever have t read a presentatin where yu felt like yu’re lst in cnfusing terms, data and cncepts? Are yu giving thers this same experience? (你是否曾经读过一篇演讲，感觉自己迷失在混乱的术语、数据和概念中？你会给别人同样的经历吗？)”可知空前就交流中可能出现的术语、数据和概念的混乱提出了两个问题，根据空后“But there are ways yu can simplify yur presentatin and reengage yur audience. Here’s hw yu can get cmplex infrmatin acrss. (但是有一些方法可以简化你的演讲并重新吸引你的听众。下面是如何传递复杂信息的方法。)”可知此处指出有一些可以传递复杂信息的方法，空处承上启下，所以空处应该提出传递复杂信息这个话题，F项Cmmunicating cmplex infrmatin is a cmmn challenge in presentatins. (在演讲中，传达复杂的信息是一个常见的挑战。)提出传递复杂信息这个话题，承接上文，引出下文，符合上下文语境。故选F项。
【17题详解】
根据空前“Use interactive cntent. It gets the readers mre invlved in yur presentatin by letting them play an active part. (使用交互式内容。这会让读者更积极地参与到你的演讲中来。)”可知本段的建议是使用交互式内容，根据空后“Beynd that, questinnaires and chatbts prvide persnalized and specific answers t readers as part f yur presentatin. (除此之外，问卷调查和聊天机器人为读者提供个性化和具体的答案，作为你演讲的一部分。)”可知此处仍然讲的是交互式内容的好处，空处呈上启下，所以空处应该就空前所提到的交互式内容举出例子，G项Fr example, allw them t chse the cntent rute they wish t take and cntrl the pace. (例如，允许他们选择他们想要的内容路线并控制节奏。)举例说明如何使用交互式内容，承接上文，引出下文，符合上下文语境。故选G项。
【18题详解】
空处位于句首，应是本段的主旨句。根据空后“N ne will read a presentatin with a thusand wrds. D everyne a favr and use images. (没有人会读一篇一千字的报告。帮大家一个忙，使用图片。)”可知此处讲的是要善于运用图片而不是篇幅较长的文字来展示自己所讲的内容，所以空处的建议应该是运用展示而不是讲的方式来传递复杂信息，A项Shw, dn’t tell(展示，不要告诉)指出要用展示的方式，概括了本段的主旨大意，符合上下文语境。故选A项。
【19题详解】
根据本段小标题“Narrate yur cntent. (叙述你的内容。)”可知本段的建议是运用讲故事的方式来传递复杂信息，根据空后“Whether it’s thrugh text t speech Al r vide bubbles, centering yur presentatin arund a stry can help guide yur audience thrugh the cmplexity, making it mre digestible, engaging, and memrable. (无论是通过文本到语音还是视频气泡，以故事为中心的演讲都可以帮助引导观众理解复杂的内容，使其更容易理解、更吸引人、更难忘。)”可知此处讲的仍然是通过讲故事的形式来传递信息的好处，所以空后应该对这一建议所能采用的方法进行进一步的解释，E项Strytelling is anther pwerful tl fr cmmunicating cmplex cncepts. (讲故事是传达复杂概念的另一个强大工具。)指出了讲故事是叙述的传达复杂概念的一种强大工具，符合上下文语境。故选E项。
【20题详解】
根据空前“Use examples and fables. They can help explain clearly the cmplexity f ideas fr they are what we’ve already knwn and understd. (使用例子和表格。它们可以帮助我们清楚地解释思想的复杂性，因为它们是我们已经知道和理解的。)”可知本段的建议是使用例子和表格来传递复杂信息，根据空后“Mre imprtantly, the real secret lies in selecting examples that are nt just familiar but als deeply relevant-thse are the nes that will truly ring with yur listeners. (更重要的是，真正的秘诀在于选择那些不仅熟悉而且非常相关的例子——那些能真正引起听众共鸣的例子。)”可知此处依旧讲的使用例子的好处，空处承上启下，所以空处应该讲的是运用例子和表格来传递复杂信息的好处，C项This makes the cmplex cncepts less new and mre familiar. (这使得复杂的概念不再那么新鲜，而是更加熟悉。)指出使用例子和表格来传递复杂信息的好处，符合上下文语境。故选C项。
第三部分 英语知识运用

【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。介绍了黄河沿岸羊皮筏的制作流程和历史作用。
41题详解】
考查冠词。句意：筏子的安全气囊由整张羊皮制成，经过加热脱毛、浸咸油、缝制、烘干、吹气等诸多工序。sheepskin意为“带毛绵羊皮”，为可数名词，句中用的单数，前用不定冠词修饰，whle为辅音音素开头，用a修饰。故填a。
【42题详解】
考查连词。句意：筏子的安全气囊由整张羊皮制成，经过加热脱毛、浸咸油、缝制、烘干、吹气等诸多工序。分析句子结构可知，blwing和前文的heating t remve hair, saking in salty il, sewing, drying并列，应用and连接。故填and。
【43题详解】
考查动词时态和语态。句意：然后将安全气囊固定在一个木制支架上，使其能够在水上运输人员和货物。分析句子结构可知，fasten作本句谓语，主语是airbags，两者是被动关系，用被动语态，前文用的是一般现在时，此处也用一般现在时。故填are fastened。
【44题详解】
考查动词时态。句意：据说古代最大的羊皮筏由600多个羊皮气囊组成，长22米，宽7米，令人印象深刻。分析句子结构可知，cnsist作从句的谓语，根据时间状语in ld times可知，用一般过去时。故填cnsisted。
【45题详解】
考查名词。句意：据说古代最大的羊皮筏由600多个羊皮气囊组成，长22米，宽7米，令人印象深刻。分析句子结构可知，空前是冠词，所以空处应填名词，wide的名词形式是width。故填width。
【46题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：20世纪50年代以前，铁路尚未开通，公路交通不便，羊皮筏是黄河沿岸居民最主要的交通工具。分析句子结构可知，空处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词是前文的时间，在从句中作时间状语，用when引导。故填when。
【47题详解】
考查形容词。句意：20世纪50年代以前，铁路尚未开通，公路交通不便，羊皮筏是黄河沿岸居民最主要的交通工具。分析句子结构可知，空前是形容词，所以空处填形容词作表语，根据句意，应是incnvenient意为“不方便”符合语境。故填incnvenient。
【48题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：20世纪50年代以前，铁路尚未开通，公路交通不便，羊皮筏是黄河沿岸居民最主要的交通工具。分析句子结构可知，本句已有谓语动词served，所以live用非谓语形式，逻辑主语是residents，两者是主动关系，用现在分词作后置定语。故填living。
【49题详解】
考查介词。句意：然而，随着社会的飞速发展，羊皮筏已经在很大程度上发挥了它在运送人和货物方面的历史作用。此处是固定搭配：play rle in意为“在某方面起作用”。故填in。
【50题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：它已经成为人们在黄河上观光的工具。本句已有谓语动词has becme，所以d用非谓语形式，根据句意，此处应是用不定式做主语。故填t d。

I hpe I will make great prgresses in English in this way.
【答案】1. but→and
2. easy→easily
3. the→a
4. write→written
5. refer→referred
6. 删除it
7. puzzling→puzzled
8. with→withut
9. 在was后加that
10. prgresses→prgress
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了作者爱好英语，在阅读的时候，常查单词，但是决定尝试不查单词阅读，发现也行得通。
【51题详解】
考查连词。句意：我喜欢学习英语，能轻松地记住单个单词。前后句意是并列顺承，不存在转折。故将but改为and。
【52题详解】
考查副词。句意：我喜欢学习英语，能轻松地记住单个单词。此处修饰动词“remember”，应用副词，作状语。故将easy改为easily。
【53题详解】
考查冠词。句意：然而，当涉及到阅读理解时，这真的是一个挑战。此处泛指“一个挑战”，应用不定冠词，challenge是以辅音音素开头的词，应用a。故将the改为a。
【54题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：上周末，我试着读了一本英文故事书来提高我的阅读能力。“write”和“strybk”构成动宾关系，应用过去分词，作定语，表被动和完成。故将write改为written。
【55题详解】
考查动词时态。句意：起初，每当我遇到生词时，我就查字典，我发现这不是很有帮助。此处描述过去的事情，应用一般过去时。故将refer改为referred。
【56题详解】
考查代词。句意：起初，每当我遇到生词时，我就查字典，我发现这不是很有帮助。“which”在定语从句中作“fund”的宾语，it多余。故删除it。
【57题详解】
考查形容词。句意：我经常对我读过的东西感到困惑。主语为人，应用-ed结尾形容词puzzled，修饰人的感情。故将puzzling改为puzzled。
【58题详解】
考查介词。句意：然后我试着不查生词就把一章读完。根据句意可知，此处指“没有查阅新单词”，应用介词withut。故将with改为withut。
【59题详解】
考查表语从句。句意：令我惊讶的是，我仅仅从上下文就能理解这个故事。此处引导的表语从句，that不充当任何成分，但不能省略。故在was后加that。
【60题详解】
考查名词。句意：我希望通过这种方式在英语方面取得很大的进步。prgress是不可数名词，没有复数形式。故将prgresses改为prgress。
