Last year, my Singapre-based sister insisted my mther and I jin her fr the Christmas. My mum, a fearless wman, wuld get strangely nervus n flights. Perhaps the nly thing that cnvinced her t vercme her fears was the chance t piece tgether ur declining bnd.
Grwing up, mments with Mum were painfully shrt-lived because I spent mst time at the barding schl, reuniting nly during the hlidays. Every year, she wuld eagerly await my return, which wuld always lead t cnstant lving scenes. Thse cherished mments were gradually vanishing as I mved away fr university. Sn, ur relatinship became tense. She seemed unable t cmprehend me and her stubbrn and ld-fashined advice frced me t shut myself. But the mre I pulled away, the mre I felt a lnging fr the bnd that had grwn s dim. Perhaps Singapre wuld give us a chance t breathe it back t life.
I assumed the immersive exhibits at Art Science Museum wuld refresh my mther, wh was an art student. Hwever, I was surprised when she just turned her nse up at the Bruges Whale, a sculpture using plastic waste t raise awareness abut cean pllutin. “It’s art, Mum! Be mre appreciative.” I defended.
Disheartened by the distance between us, I led her t the kid’s zne. We signed up fr a jint sketching activity, hping that wuld help us cnnect. As ur creative juices flwed, ur faded relatinship began t take n the hues and shades f smething sincere and beautiful.
“Lk!” she excitedly pinted twards a digital screen that displayed ur creatins. “That ne’s urs.” Mum went up and reached ut, tuching the fish as it mved its tail back and frth in the virtual tank.
Lking arund, I saw children sharing mments with their parents, and my wn childhd flashed back. That rare instance where she let slip an inner inncence and delight at a new experience revealed the little girl in her, wh was like me, had lst a vital cnnectin t respnsibilities f mtherhd.
“Our time tgether was like that f friends. Yu were my mther, and I’m a child fllwing yu arund.” My mum said t me with a smile.

A. The reslve t vercme the nervusness n flight.
B. The desire t restre relatinship with her children.
C. The sincere invitatin f my Singapre-based sister.
D. The expectatin fr Art Science Museum as an artist.

A. She felt it a huge waste t make it frm plastic.
B. She shwed a great interest in this wrk f art.
C. She didn’t think it gd enugh t be exhibited.
D. She cnsidered it beneficial t cean prtectin.
6. What can we learn frm the sketching activity?
A. It revealed Mum’s inner ignrance like a girl.
B. It explred causes fr faded bnd between families.
C. It let Mum ttally lse respnsibilities f mtherhd.
D. It prvided an pprtunity t share mments with families.
7. What d Mum’s wrds imply in the last paragraph?
A. A gd medicine tastes bitter.B. Life has indeed cme full circle.
C. Actins speak luder than wrds.D. Nthing is impssible t a willing mind.
【答案】4. B 5. C 6. D 7. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了一次去艺术科学博物馆参观如何帮助作者与母亲重建了她们的温馨关系。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。从文章第一段的“Perhaps the nly thing that cnvinced her t vercme her fears was the chance t piece tgether ut declining bnd. (可能唯一能说服她克服恐惧的事情就是有机会修复我们日渐衰弱的关系)”可知，妈妈接受访问新加坡的原因是想要恢复与孩子们的关系。故选B。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。从文章第三段的“Hwever, I was surprised when she just turned her nse up at the Bruges Whale, a sculpture using plastic waste t raise awareness abut cean pllutin.(然而，当她对布鲁日鲸鱼这个用塑料垃圾制作的雕塑嗤之以鼻时，我很惊讶。这个雕塑是用来提高人们对海洋污染的认识的)”可推知，妈妈对布鲁日鲸鱼的反应是她认为它不够好，不应该被展出。故选C。
【6题详解】

That rare instance where she let slip an inner inncence and delight at a new experience revealed the little girl in her, wh was like me, had lst a vital cnnectin t respnsibilities f mtherhd. (在博物馆中的共同绘画活动中，我看到父母和孩子一起共同体验美好时光。面对全新的体验，妈妈鲜有地流露出内心的天真和喜悦，此刻，她的心中也住着一位像我一样的小女孩，完全没有“妈妈角色”的心理负担。因此这个活动让她们的关系变得更加真诚和温馨)”可推知，写生活动提供了一个与家人分享时光的机会。故选D。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Our time tgether was like that f friends. Yu were my mther, and I’m a child fllwing yu arund.(我们在一起的时光就像朋友一样。你曾是我的母亲，而我只是个跟着你的孩子)”可推知，妈妈认为现在女儿带着她学习和了解外面的世界，是她的小老师，她们的角色互换了，感慨生命是一个轮回。A选项译为“苦口良药”；B选项译为“生命是周而复始的轮回”；C选项译为“事实胜于雄辩”；D选项译为“心之所愿，无事不成/有志者事竟成”。故选B。

After a busy mrning, lunch can feel like just the pick-me-up yu need-but smetimes the meal that yu thught wuld energize yu is the very thing that makes yu want t nap at yur desk.
Feeling tired after lunch, r pst-meals in general, is knwn as pstprandial smnlence—r, cllquially, the fd cma.
Part f this phenmenn is due t basic physilgy (生理学): When humans eat, mst f ur bld ges t the digestive rgans t prcess the fd, said Sandra Aréval, directr f cmmunity health and wellness at Mntefire Nyack Hspital in New Yrk state.
The tendency t get tired after eating isn’t inherently suggestive f smething amiss (出错的). But there can be additinal factrs that wrsen this natural respnse, making getting thrugh the rest f the wrkday r any activities feel like a slg. Here’s what t watch ut fr and hw t make adjustments.
When it cmes t why yu feel verly tired after eating, a cmmn cause is cnsuming meals that are heavy in terms f quantity r quality. Nt eating breakfast can lead t verindulging later in the day if excessive (过度的) hunger makes cntrlling yur appetite difficult, Aréval said.
Smetimes, hwever, the makeup f certain fds can cntribute t tiredness. Fats are the hardest nutrient t digest because their mlecules are much larger than thse f prtein r carbs, said Julie Stefanski, a spkespersn fr the Academy f Nutritin and Dietetics. If yu had a meal high in fat—such as fried fds r pizza—that culd make yu feel tired. Meals high in added sugar r refined r highly prcessed carbhydrates can have the same effect.
The fiber in s-called whle fds like crns slws the absrptin f sugar int the bdy, which means they dn’t cause bld sugar r insulin spikes and instead give yu mre stable, lasting energy, said Kristin Kirkpatrick, a registered dietitian at the Cleveland Clinic.
“A five-minute walk r smething helps t imprve circulatin and alertness (机敏), as well,” Aréval said.
8. What can we knw frm the third paragraph?
A. Bld is bad fr the digestive rgans.
B. Bld has varieties f tasks t carry ut.
C. Eating habits have a great effect n health.
D. Eating t much can burden the digestive rgans.
9. Which f the fllwing can replace the underlined wrd “verindulging”?
A. ver-cnsumingB. verweightC. felling sleepyD. lacking energy
10. What is suggested by Kristin Kirkpatrick?
A. Sugar cake.B. Pizza.C. Fried egg.D. Crn.
11. Why des the authr write the passage?
A. T present a new study.B. T clarify a cncept.
C. T prvide sme guidance.D. T shw a scial phenmenn.
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. D 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是午后犯困的原因，并给出了一些建议。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“When humans eat, mst f ur bld ges t the digestive rgans t prcess the fd, said Sandra Aréval, directr f cmmunity health and wellness at Mntefire Nyack Hspital in New Yrk state.(纽约州蒙特菲奥里·尼亚克医院的社区健康和保健主任Sandra Aréval说，当人类吃东西时，我们的大部分血液都流向消化器官来处理食物。)”可知，人类吃东西时，血液会参与消化食物，由此可知，血液肩负着多种任务。故选B项。
【9题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线单词后的“if excessive (过度的) hunger makes cntrlling yur appetite difficult, Aréval said.( Aréval说，如果过度的饥饿使你难以控制食欲。)”可知，过度的饥饿会让你难以控制食欲，结合划线单词前的“Nt eating breakfast can lead t(不吃早餐可能会导致……)”可知，早上不吃早饭同样会导致难以控制食欲，由此可知，划线单词的意思应与“过多吃东西”意义相近。故选A项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“The fiber in s-called whle fds like crns slws the absrptin f sugar int the bdy, which means they dn’t cause bld sugar r insulin spikes and instead give yu mre stable, lasting energy, said Kristin Kirkpatrick, a registered dietitian at the Cleveland Clinic.(克利夫兰诊所的注册营养师Kristin Kirkpatrick说，玉米等所谓天然食物中的纤维可以减缓身体对糖的吸收，这意味着它们不会导致血糖或胰岛素飙升，而是给你更稳定、更持久的能量。)”可知，Kristin Kirkpatrick认为，玉米可以减缓身体对糖的吸收，会给你更稳定、更持久的能量，这样就不会犯困，所以，Kristin Kirkpatrick应该是推荐玉米。故选D项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据首段“After a busy mrning, lunch can feel like just the pick-me-up yu need-but smetimes the meal that yu thught wuld energize yu is the very thing that makes yu want t nap at yur desk.(忙碌了一个上午之后，午餐就像是你需要的提神剂——但有时你以为会让你精力充沛的午餐却让你想在办公桌前打个盹。)”可知，午餐后人们想在办公桌上打盹，引出本文的话题，根据第三段中的“Part f this phenmenn is due t basic physilgy (生理学)(这种现象的部分原因是基本生理学)”以及下文中讲述了午餐后犯困的原因可知，本文分析了出现午餐后犯困的原因，结合倒数第二段中的“The fiber in s-called whle fds like crns slws the absrptin f sugar int the bdy, which means they dn’t cause bld sugar r insulin spikes and instead give yu mre stable, lasting energy, said Kristin Kirkpatrick, a registered dietitian at the Cleveland Clinic.(克利夫兰诊所的注册营养师Kristin Kirkpatrick说，玉米等所谓天然食物中的纤维可以减缓身体对糖的吸收，这意味着它们不会导致血糖或胰岛素飙升，而是给你更稳定、更持久的能量。)”以及尾段““A five-minute walk r smething helps t imprve circulatin and alertness (机敏), as well,” Aréval said.( “五分钟的步行或其他活动也有助于改善血液循环和警觉性，”arsamuval说。)”可知，本文对午餐后犯困提出了一些相对应的建议，改变一下饮食以及午餐后参加一些活动有助于改善血液循环，由此可知，本文从列举现象，到分析原因，直至最后给提出相应的建议，所以本文的目的是给人们提供一些指导。故选C项。

Engineering researchers at the University f Waterl are successfully using a rbt t help keep children with learning disabilities fcused n their wrk. This was ne f the key results in a new study that als fund bth the yungsters and their instructrs valued the psitive classrm cntributins made by the rbt.
“Overall, the findings demnstrate that the rbt has a psitive effect n students,” said Dr. Kerstin Dautenhahn, a prfessr f electrical and cmputer engineering.
Educatrs have in recent years explred the use f scial rbts t help students learn, but mst ften, their research has fcused n children with autism (孤独症). As a result, little wrk has been dne n the use f scially assistive rbts fr students with learning disabilities.
Alng with tw ther Waterl engineering researchers and three experts frm the Learning. Disabilities Sciety in Vancuver, Dautenhahn decided t change this, cnducting a series f tests with a small humanid (仿人的) rbt called QTrbt.
Dautenhahn said the rbt’s ability t perfrm gestures using its head and hands, accmpanied by its speech and facial features, makes it very suitable fr children with learning disabilities.
Building n prmising earlier research, the researchers divided 16 students with learning disabilities int tw grups. In ne grup, students wrked ne n-ne with an instructr nly. In the ther grup, the students wrked ne-n-ne with an instructr and a QTrbt. In the latter grup, the instructr used a tablet t direct the rbt, which then autnmusly perfrmed varius activities using its speech and gestures. While the instructr cntrlled the sessins, the rbt tk ver at certain times t lead the students.
Besides intrducing the sessin, the rbt set gals and prvided self-regulating strategies, if necessary. If the learning prcess was getting ff- track, the rbt used strategies such as games, riddles and physical mvements t redirect the students back t the task.
“Students wh wrked with the rbt,” Dautenhahn said, “were generally mre engaged with their tasks and culd cmplete their tasks at a higher rate cmpared t the students wh weren’t assisted by a rbt.
12. What can we knw abut Dautenhahn’s research?
A. It seeks t prvide a treatment fr autism.
B. It attempts t replace teachers with rbts in teaching.
C. It intends t educate students t be creative and prductive.
D. It studies the effects f rbts n students with learning disabilities.
13. What is the sixth paragraph mainly abut?
A. The rle the rbt played.
B. The prcess f the research.
C. The utcmes f the tw grups.
D. The range f the participants invlved.
14. Hw did the QTrbt help distracted students cncentrate in class?
A. It warned the student directly by speech.
B. It assigned tasks fr the student t cmplete.
C. It infrmed the instructr t intervene in the learning prcess.
D. It attracted the student’s attentin thrugh interesting activities.
15. What des Dautenhahn’s research imply?
A. Rbts prmte students’ academic perfrmance greatly.
B. There is great ptential fr using rbts in the educatin system.
C. Teachers are defeated by rbts when it cmes t mtivating students.
D. Students are becming mre independent with the assistance f rbts.

This was ne f the key results in a new study that als fund bth the yungsters and their instructrs valued the psitive classrm cntributins made by the rbt.”（滑铁卢大学的工程研究人员正在成功地利用机器人帮助有学习障碍的儿童专注于他们的工作。这是一项新研究的关键结果之一，该研究还发现，青少年和他们的教师都重视机器人在课堂上的积极贡献。）第二段““Overall, the findings demnstrate that the rbt has a psitive effect n students,” said Dr. Kerstin Dautenhahn, a prfessr f electrical and cmputer engineering.”（“总的来说，研究结果表明机器人对学生有积极的影响,”电子和计算机工程教授 Kerstin Dauthahn 博士说。）可知，计算机工程教授 Kerstin Dauthahn的研究是利用机器人帮助有学习障碍的儿童专注于他们的工作，且研究结果表明，机器人对学生有积极的影响。故选D。
【13题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第六段中“Building n prmising earlier research, the researchers divided 16 students with learning disabilities int tw grups. In ne grup, students wrked ne n-ne with an instructr nly. In the ther grup, the students wrked ne-n-ne with an instructr and a QTrbt. In the latter grup, the instructr used a tablet t direct the rbt, which then autnmusly perfrmed varius activities using its speech and gestures. ”（在早期研究的基础上，研究人员将16名有学习障碍的学生分为两组。在一个小组中，学生们只和一个导师一对一地学习。在另一组中，学生与教师和 QT 机器人一对一地工作。在后一组中，教练使用平板电脑来指导机器人，然后机器人通过语音和手势自动完成各种活动。）可知，这里主要讲述的研究的过程。故选B。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“If the learning prcess was getting ff- track, the rbt used strategies such as games, riddles and physical mvements t redirect the students back t the task.”（如果学习过程偏离了轨道，机器人会使用游戏、谜语和身体动作等策略来重新引导学生回到任务上。）可知，当学生在学习中注意力不集中时，机器人会使用有趣的活动来帮助他们集中注意力。故选D。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段““Students wh wrked with the rbt,” Dautenhahn said, “were generally mre engaged with their tasks and culd cmplete their tasks at a higher rate cmpared t the students wh weren’t assisted by a rbt.”（Dautenhahn说:“与没有机器人帮助的学生相比，与机器人一起工作的学生通常更投入于他们的任务，并且完成任务的速度更快。”）可知，通过使用这个辅助的机器人的帮助，学生会更投入于他们的任务，并且完成任务的速度更快，即在教育系统中使用机器人有很大的潜力。故选B。

Critical (批判的) thinking is the art f using reasn t analyze ideas and dig deeper t get t ur true ptential. It desn’t mean yu’re thinking harder r lnger. ____16____ Here are sme tips and ideas t help yu build a fundatin fr critical thinking.
Questin yur assumptins. We make a lt f assumptins abut almst everything. It’s hw ur brain prcesses certain pieces f infrmatin, and hw we get alng in everyday life. Yu culd say they are the fundatin f ur critical framewrk. ____17____ Then the whle fundatin needs t be rebuilt, frm the bttm up.
Dn’t take infrmatin n authrity until yu've investigated it yurself. Instead f duble-checking everything anyne says, we tend t label infrmatin as either cming frm a trustwrthy r nt trustwrthy surce. This keeps us frm duble-checking every piece f infrmatin that cmes ur way, saving time and energy. But it als keeps us frm getting t the bttm f things we think f as cming frm a trustwrthy surce, even when they dn’t. ___18___
Put yurself in ther peple’s shes. Empathy can als help yu develp yur critical thinking skills. ____19____ Yu may find that a little understanding facilitates a deeper insight int ther peple and their behavir. The deeper yur insight int yurself and thers, the wiser yur decisins will be.
___20___ There is n way t learn better than learning frm yur friends. If yu nly want t be a big fish swimming in the little pnd just because yur eg (自负) feels gd, keep this part. If yu are wndering abut hw t develp critical skills, make friends with smart peple and thrw away yur eg.
A. Actually, it’s abut thinking better.
B. Surrund yurself with peple smarter than yu.
C. Be smene that peple knw that they can cunt n.
D. Yu shuld nt judge thers until yu fully understand their situatin.
E. But what if they turned ut t be wrng, r at least nt entirely truthful?
F. The reasn is that understanding des nt always g with the right actin.
G. S what is published in a magazine r nline desn’t mean it’s necessarily true.
【答案】16. A 17. E 18. G 19. D 20. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。批判性思维是一种运用理性分析思想、深入挖掘以达到真正潜能的艺术。这是更好地思考。文中介绍了一些帮助你建立批判性思维基础的技巧和想法：勇于质疑、会移情，为他人着想、与聪明的人相处等。
【16题详解】
本段是对批判性思维的定义。根据空前“It desn’t mean yu’re thinking harder r lnger.(这并不是你思考的更久或更长)”可知，批判性思维并不是你思考的更久或更长，空处应是接着进行解释“而是……”，选项A“实际上，它是关于更好地思考”符合语境，“不是……而是……”是一种常用的解释，故选A项。
【17题详解】
根据空后“Then the whle fundatin needs t be rebuilt, frm the bttm up.(那么整个基础就需要自下而上重建)”可推断，需要重建说明假设是错误的，分析选项，E项“但是如果它们被证明是错误的，或者至少不是完全真实的呢？”符合语境，与后面的整个基础就需要重建是互为条件。故选E项。
【18题详解】

Grwing up, mments with Mum were painfully shrt-lived because I spent mst time at the barding schl, reuniting nly during the hlidays. Every year, she wuld eagerly await my return, which wuld always lead t cnstant lving scenes. Thse cherished mments were gradually vanishing as I mved away fr university. Sn, ur relatinship became tense. She seemed unable t cmprehend me and her stubbrn and ld-fashined advice frced me t shut myself. But the mre I pulled away, the mre I felt a lnging fr the bnd that had grwn s dim. Perhaps Singapre wuld give us a chance t breathe it back t life.
I assumed the immersive exhibits at Art Science Museum wuld refresh my mther, wh was an art student. Hwever, I was surprised when she just turned her nse up at the Bruges Whale, a sculpture using plastic waste t raise awareness abut cean pllutin. “It’s art, Mum! Be mre appreciative.” I defended.
Disheartened by the distance between us, I led her t the kid’s zne. We signed up fr a jint sketching activity, hping that wuld help us cnnect. As ur creative juices flwed, ur faded relatinship began t take n the hues and shades f smething sincere and beautiful.
“Lk!” she excitedly pinted twards a digital screen that displayed ur creatins. “That ne’s urs.” Mum went up and reached ut, tuching the fish as it mved its tail back and frth in the virtual tank.
Lking arund, I saw children sharing mments with their parents, and my wn childhd flashed back. That rare instance where she let slip an inner inncence and delight at a new experience revealed the little girl in her, wh was like me, had lst a vital cnnectin t respnsibilities f mtherhd.
“Our time tgether was like that f friends. Yu were my mther, and I’m a child fllwing yu arund.” My mum said t me with a smile.

After a busy mrning, lunch can feel like just the pick-me-up yu need-but smetimes the meal that yu thught wuld energize yu is the very thing that makes yu want t nap at yur desk.
Feeling tired after lunch, r pst-meals in general, is knwn as pstprandial smnlence—r, cllquially, the fd cma.
Part f this phenmenn is due t basic physilgy (生理学): When humans eat, mst f ur bld ges t the digestive rgans t prcess the fd, said Sandra Aréval, directr f cmmunity health and wellness at Mntefire Nyack Hspital in New Yrk state.
The tendency t get tired after eating isn’t inherently suggestive f smething amiss (出错的). But there can be additinal factrs that wrsen this natural respnse, making getting thrugh the rest f the wrkday r any activities feel like a slg. Here’s what t watch ut fr and hw t make adjustments.
When it cmes t why yu feel verly tired after eating, a cmmn cause is cnsuming meals that are heavy in terms f quantity r quality. Nt eating breakfast can lead t verindulging later in the day if excessive (过度的) hunger makes cntrlling yur appetite difficult, Aréval said.
Smetimes, hwever, the makeup f certain fds can cntribute t tiredness. Fats are the hardest nutrient t digest because their mlecules are much larger than thse f prtein r carbs, said Julie Stefanski, a spkespersn fr the Academy f Nutritin and Dietetics. If yu had a meal high in fat—such as fried fds r pizza—that culd make yu feel tired. Meals high in added sugar r refined r highly prcessed carbhydrates can have the same effect.
The fiber in s-called whle fds like crns slws the absrptin f sugar int the bdy, which means they dn’t cause bld sugar r insulin spikes and instead give yu mre stable, lasting energy, said Kristin Kirkpatrick, a registered dietitian at the Cleveland Clinic.
“A five-minute walk r smething helps t imprve circulatin and alertness (机敏), as well,” Aréval said.
8. What can we knw frm the third paragraph?
A. Bld is bad fr the digestive rgans.
B. Bld has varieties f tasks t carry ut.
C. Eating habits have a great effect n health.
D. Eating t much can burden the digestive rgans.
9. Which f the fllwing can replace the underlined wrd “verindulging”?
A. ver-cnsumingB. verweightC. felling sleepyD. lacking energy
10. What is suggested by Kristin Kirkpatrick?
A. Sugar cake.B. Pizza.C. Fried egg.D. Crn.
11. Why des the authr write the passage?
A. T present a new study.B. T clarify a cncept.
C. T prvide sme guidance.D. T shw a scial phenmenn.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是午后犯困的原因，并给出了一些建议。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“When humans eat, mst f ur bld ges t the digestive rgans t prcess the fd, said Sandra Aréval, directr f cmmunity health and wellness at Mntefire Nyack Hspital in New Yrk state.(纽约州蒙特菲奥里·尼亚克医院的社区健康和保健主任Sandra Aréval说，当人类吃东西时，我们的大部分血液都流向消化器官来处理食物。)”可知，人类吃东西时，血液会参与消化食物，由此可知，血液肩负着多种任务。故选B项。
【9题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线单词后的“if excessive (过度的) hunger makes cntrlling yur appetite difficult, Aréval said.( Aréval说，如果过度的饥饿使你难以控制食欲。)”可知，过度的饥饿会让你难以控制食欲，结合划线单词前的“Nt eating breakfast can lead t(不吃早餐可能会导致……)”可知，早上不吃早饭同样会导致难以控制食欲，由此可知，划线单词的意思应与“过多吃东西”意义相近。故选A项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“The fiber in s-called whle fds like crns slws the absrptin f sugar int the bdy, which means they dn’t cause bld sugar r insulin spikes and instead give yu mre stable, lasting energy, said Kristin Kirkpatrick, a registered dietitian at the Cleveland Clinic.(克利夫兰诊所的注册营养师Kristin Kirkpatrick说，玉米等所谓天然食物中的纤维可以减缓身体对糖的吸收，这意味着它们不会导致血糖或胰岛素飙升，而是给你更稳定、更持久的能量。)”可知，Kristin Kirkpatrick认为，玉米可以减缓身体对糖的吸收，会给你更稳定、更持久的能量，这样就不会犯困，所以，Kristin Kirkpatrick应该是推荐玉米。故选D项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据首段“After a busy mrning, lunch can feel like just the pick-me-up yu need-but smetimes the meal that yu thught wuld energize yu is the very thing that makes yu want t nap at yur desk.(忙碌了一个上午之后，午餐就像是你需要的提神剂——但有时你以为会让你精力充沛的午餐却让你想在办公桌前打个盹。)”可知，午餐后人们想在办公桌上打盹，引出本文的话题，根据第三段中的“Part f this phenmenn is due t basic physilgy (生理学)(这种现象的部分原因是基本生理学)”以及下文中讲述了午餐后犯困的原因可知，本文分析了出现午餐后犯困的原因，结合倒数第二段中的“The fiber in s-called whle fds like crns slws the absrptin f sugar int the bdy, which means they dn’t cause bld sugar r insulin spikes and instead give yu mre stable, lasting energy, said Kristin Kirkpatrick, a registered dietitian at the Cleveland Clinic.(克利夫兰诊所的注册营养师Kristin Kirkpatrick说，玉米等所谓天然食物中的纤维可以减缓身体对糖的吸收，这意味着它们不会导致血糖或胰岛素飙升，而是给你更稳定、更持久的能量。)”以及尾段““A five-minute walk r smething helps t imprve circulatin and alertness (机敏), as well,” Aréval said.( “五分钟的步行或其他活动也有助于改善血液循环和警觉性，”arsamuval说。)”可知，本文对午餐后犯困提出了一些相对应的建议，改变一下饮食以及午餐后参加一些活动有助于改善血液循环，由此可知，本文从列举现象，到分析原因，直至最后给提出相应的建议，所以本文的目的是给人们提供一些指导。故选C项。

Engineering researchers at the University f Waterl are successfully using a rbt t help keep children with learning disabilities fcused n their wrk. This was ne f the key results in a new study that als fund bth the yungsters and their instructrs valued the psitive classrm cntributins made by the rbt.
“Overall, the findings demnstrate that the rbt has a psitive effect n students,” said Dr. Kerstin Dautenhahn, a prfessr f electrical and cmputer engineering.
Educatrs have in recent years explred the use f scial rbts t help students learn, but mst ften, their research has fcused n children with autism (孤独症). As a result, little wrk has been dne n the use f scially assistive rbts fr students with learning disabilities.
Alng with tw ther Waterl engineering researchers and three experts frm the Learning. Disabilities Sciety in Vancuver, Dautenhahn decided t change this, cnducting a series f tests with a small humanid (仿人的) rbt called QTrbt.
Dautenhahn said the rbt’s ability t perfrm gestures using its head and hands, accmpanied by its speech and facial features, makes it very suitable fr children with learning disabilities.
Building n prmising earlier research, the researchers divided 16 students with learning disabilities int tw grups. In ne grup, students wrked ne n-ne with an instructr nly. In the ther grup, the students wrked ne-n-ne with an instructr and a QTrbt. In the latter grup, the instructr used a tablet t direct the rbt, which then autnmusly perfrmed varius activities using its speech and gestures. While the instructr cntrlled the sessins, the rbt tk ver at certain times t lead the students.
Besides intrducing the sessin, the rbt set gals and prvided self-regulating strategies, if necessary. If the learning prcess was getting ff- track, the rbt used strategies such as games, riddles and physical mvements t redirect the students back t the task.
“Students wh wrked with the rbt,” Dautenhahn said, “were generally mre engaged with their tasks and culd cmplete their tasks at a higher rate cmpared t the students wh weren’t assisted by a rbt.
12. What can we knw abut Dautenhahn’s research?
A. It seeks t prvide a treatment fr autism.
B. It attempts t replace teachers with rbts in teaching.
C. It intends t educate students t be creative and prductive.
D. It studies the effects f rbts n students with learning disabilities.
13. What is the sixth paragraph mainly abut?
A. The rle the rbt played.
B. The prcess f the research.
C. The utcmes f the tw grups.
D. The range f the participants invlved.
14. Hw did the QTrbt help distracted students cncentrate in class?
A. It warned the student directly by speech.
B. It assigned tasks fr the student t cmplete.
C. It infrmed the instructr t intervene in the learning prcess.
D. It attracted the student’s attentin thrugh interesting activities.
15. What des Dautenhahn’s research imply?

【解析】
【导语】本文是篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国著名的针灸疗法。
【36题详解】
考查过去分词。句意：石器被用来按压身体部位，后来被石针取代。根据句中谓语动词“were used”可知，空处应为非谓语动词；replace动词，表示“取代”，与“Stne tls”之间为被动关系，故应用过去分词形式。故填replaced。
【37题详解】
考查副词。句意：起初，有九种不同的针，形状各异。分析句子可知，空处应为副词作状语修饰后面的句子，表示“起初，原来”，riginally符合句意；句首字母大写。故填Originally。
【38题详解】
考查动名词。句意：在参观针灸诊所时，针灸师首先检查病人，然后接着问一些关于病人情况的问题，摸摸他或她的脉搏。此处用作介词by的宾语，空处应用动名词形式作宾语。故填feeling。
【39题详解】
考查动词不定式。句意：所有的检查都是为了在身体上选择一些被称为穴位的点。根据句中谓语“are made”可知，空处应为非谓语动词，作目的状语，表示“为了选择”，故应用动词不定式。故填t select。
【40题详解】
考查形容词。句意：针在这些点被推入皮肤，这样健康问题就可以得到治疗。分析句子可知，设空处缺少that，构成复合连词s that，用于引导目的状语从句，故填that。
【41题详解】
考查冠词。句意：多年来，针灸一直被用来治疗各种各样的健康问题，不仅仅是身体问题。固定短语a variety f表示“各种各样的”。故填a。
【42题详解】
考查名词。句意：针灸师发现这种疗法有助于治疗抑郁症和焦虑症之类的等精神问题。分析句子可知，空处应为名词，和“depressin”并列作宾语；anxiety表示“焦虑、焦虑症”，为不可数名词。故填anxiety。
【43题详解】
考查名词复数。句意：针灸也被用于治疗酗酒、滥用药物和烟草的人。分析句子可知，空处应用名词，与“alchl”、“tbacc”并列作宾语；drug意为“药物、毒品”，为可数名词，故应用复数形式。故填drugs。
【44题详解】
考查介词。句意：今天，针灸被视为中国传统文化的象征，已经在世界范围内广泛使用。分析句子可知，空处应缺少介词as构成动词短语be recgnized as表示“被视为”，故填as。
【45题详解】
考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意：今天，针灸被视为中国传统文化的象征，已经在世界范围内广泛使用。分析句子可知，空处应与“is recgnized”并列作谓语；结合副词“already”和句意可知，应用现在完成时，主语是acupuncture，与cme int use为主动关系，谓语动词为单数形式。故填has cme。
