1.（2020年浙江卷C篇）29题
Challenging wrk that requires lts f analytical thinking, planning and ther managerial skills might help yur brain stay sharp as yu age, a study published Wednesday in the jurnal Neurlgy suggests.
Researchers frm the University f Leipzig in Germany gathered mre than 1, 000 retired wrkers wh were ver age 75 and assessed the vlunteers’ memry and thinking skills thrugh a battery f tests. Then, fr eight years, the scientists asked the same grup t cme back t the lab every 18 mnths t take the same srts f tests.
Thse wh had held mentally stimulating(刺激), demanding jbs befre retirement tended t d the best n the tests. And they tended t lse cgnitive(认知) functin at a much slwer rate than thse with the least mentally challenging jbs. The results held true even after the scientists accunted fr the participants’ verall health status.
“This wrks just like physical exercise, ” says Francisca Then, wh led the study. “After a lng run, yu may feel like yu’re in pain, yu may feel tired. But it makes yu fit. After a lng day at wrk-sure, yu will feel tired, but it can help yur brain stay healthy. ”
It's nt just crprate jbs, r even paid wrk that can help keep yur brain fit. Then pints ut. A waiter’s jb, fr example, that requires multitasking, teamwrk and decisin-making culd be just as stimulating as any high-level ffice wrk. And “running a family husehld requires high-level planning and crdinating(协调), ” she says. “Yu have t rganize the activities f the children and take care f the bills and grceries. ”
Of curse, ur brains can decline as we grw lder fr lts f reasns-including ther envirnmental influences r genetic factrs. Still, cntinuing t challenge yurself mentally and keeping yur mind busy can nly help.

T prtect yurself, it is imprtant t learn smething abut hme fires.
In less than 30 secnds a small flame (火焰) can get cmpletely ut f cntrl and turn int a majr fire. It nly takes minutes fr thick black smke t fill a huse r fr it t be in flames. Mst deadly fires happen in the hme when peple are asleep. If yu realize a fire, yu wn’t have time t take valuables because the fire spreads t quickly and the smke is t thick. The fire uses up the xygen yu need and prduces smke and pisnus (有毒的) gases. Breathing even small amunts f smke and pisnus gases can make yu tired and sleepy, and shrt f breath. The smke can cause yu t be a deep sleeper befre the flames reach yur dr. Yu may nt wake up in time t escape.
Rm temperatures in a fire can be 100 degrees at flr level and rise t 600 degrees at eye level. Breathing in this super-ht air will burn yur lungs. It can melt (熔化) clthes t yur skin. In five minutes, a rm can get s ht that everything in it starts t burn at nce.
Fires are bright at first, but quickly prduce black smke and cmplete darkness. If yu wake up t a fire yu may be blinded, cnfused abut where yu are r which directin yu shuld g in and unable t find yur way arund the hme yu’ve lived in fr years.

（18·19·重庆·二模）Nwadays, we can read almst all “truths” n scial media sites. But are they really reliable? Sites such as the micr messaging service Twitter, the scial netwrking site Facebk and the pht-sharing app Instagram might “misrepresent the real wrld,” accrding t a study by cmputer scientists frm McGill University and Carnegie Melln University.
The scientists warn that gathering infrmatin abut public views and trends frm these sites is unwise. There are still large parts f the ppulatin wh d nt take part in scial media activities. Als, there's a risk that many scial media users are under- represented. Instagram, fr example, appeals t yunger adults in urban areas while Pinterest is used mainly by females aged 25 t 34. And nly 5 percent f Twitter users are ver 65 years ld, accrding I the study.
Hwever, this is nt the nly issue, accrding t the scientific team. The design f a website can influence hw peple behave nline, creating what the researchers call “Internet bias.” Fr example, micr-blgging sites such as Weib prmte “ppular” stries. It saves time fr sme, but it als limits readers' chice f what they see. In the end, many peple pen thse stries and make them mre “ppular.” But it's nt because they chse thse stries. Rather, it is because the cntent is right in frnt f them.
Besides, it's pssible that nt everyne n yur scial netwrks is real. There might actually be a few fake accunts amng them. Fake “bts” pretend t be human and are ften included when measuring r predicting human behavirs nline.
The findings might be mre imprtant than yu wuld think, since many scial media studies “are used t infrm and justify decisins and investments amng the public and in industry and gvernment,” said Derek Ruths, assistant Prfessr at McGill's Schl f Cmputer Science.
If the team is right, yu might have t think carefully the next time yu say, “It's true, yu knw; I read it n Weib.”
9. Why des the authr mentin Twitter, Facebk and Instagram?
A. Because they are the best scial media sites tday.
B. Because they are nt in favr f the current study.
C. Because the public are sharing truths n these sites.
D. Because infrmatin n these sites may nt be reliable.
10. Hw is the passage develped?

11. Which wrd can best describe the authr's attitude tward infrmatin n scial media sites?
A. Ambiguus.B. Favrable.
C. Disagreeable.D. Cautius
12. What's the authr's main purpse in writing the passage?
A. T analyze why infrmatin gathered frm scial media sites may nt be trustwrthy.

（22·23下·沈阳·期中）Air-cnditiner’s setting ften frms the basis f ffice arguments between wmen and men regarding the “crrect” temperature fr it t be set. And it’s a cmmn debate between cuples — the perfect temperature t keep bth parties warm but nt ht. Research des cnsistently shw wmen prefer a higher indr temperature t men. But is there any science backing up the widespread belief that wmen “feel the cld” mre than men?
At arund the same bdy weight, wmen tend t have less muscle t prduce heat. Wmen als have mre fat between the skin and the muscles, s the skin feels clder, as it’s slightly further away frm bld vessels.
Wmen als tend t have a lwer metablic(代谢)rate than men, which reduces heat prductin during cld expsure, making wmen mre likely t feel cld as the temperature drps.
The hrmnes estrgen and prgesterne(雌激素和孕激素), fund in large quantities in wmen, cntribute t the cre bdy and skin temperatures. Oestrgen dilates(扩张)bld vessels at the extremities. This means mre heat can be lst t the surrunding air. And prgesterne can cause the vessels in the skin t narrw, meaning less bld will flw t sme areas t keep the inner rgans warmer, leaving wmen feeling cler.
S hw d we agree n the ideal temperature? The “Scandinavian sleep methd”, where cuples sleep with separate blankets, is ne way t vercme the differences in temperature preferences.
In the wrkplace, persnal cmfrt systems are heat systems that can be lcally psitined in individual wrk statins such as desktps, chairs, r near the feet and legs. Examples include small desk fans, heated chairs and blankets, r ft-warmers. These systems prvide individualised cmfrt t meet persnal needs withut affecting thers in the same space, and have been fund t prduce higher cmfrt satisfactin in the wrkplace. They may als be an energy-efficient methd t balance warmth and health in ffice envirnments.
17. Why des a cuple ften have an argument n temperature cntrl?
A. Because the wife prefers t wrk indrs than utdrs.
B. Because the wife wuld like t stay in a cler place.
C. Because they have different preference fr temperature.
D. Because they have n air-cnditiner t heat their ffice.

The main reasn was that maintaining them required resurces and engineers. These culd be expensive, especially as the cmpany fcused its effrts n new prducts and services.
Micrsft stpped adding new features t Windws7 in 2015, and it had regularly been reminding users f the end-f-life deadline (最后期限) and inviting them t equip Windws 10, which was grwing quickly. But Windws 7 made up abut 27 percent f desktp and laptps in Octber, 2019, accrding t Netmarket share, which tracks (跟踪) usage f different technlgies. There are mre than 1.5 billin Windws devices (装置) in use and at least 400 millin f them are still running the ut-f-date perating system. If Windws 7 cntinues t decrease at the current pace, its share will drp t 13 percent by 2021-but that’s still mre than 100 millin devices.
Hackers are always hunting fr insecure devices, which makes us anxius. If a new bug appears in Windws 7, bad actrs will have millins f devices t attack and infect with virus (病毒) at nce. That’s why the cmpany has an Extended Security Update prgram, which will run until January 2023.

（22·23下·安徽·模拟预测）Water equals life. This is true fr peple, animals and plants. And while water is plentiful in sme lcatins, this is nt the case all ver the wrld. Nw scientists frm the Massachusetts Institute f Technlgy (MIT) may have develped a way t change that.
The new desalinatin (脱盐) device prduces water actually abve the Wrld Health Organizatin standards, just by pushing a buttn. There are n filters (过滤器) required, and the device uses electrical pwer t remve salt and ther particles (微粒) — including bacteria and viruses — frm the saltwater. This reduces the need fr cnstant maintenance.
Mst cmmercially available prtable desalinatin units use filters that require high-pressure pumps t push the water, which makes them huge in size and less energy efficient. The filterless MIT device will allw it t be used in remte r resurce-limited places like small islands, ships, and even fr emergency use.
The device tk years t develp. After running tests in the lab with water that had different salinity and particles, it was tested at Bstn’s Carsn Beach. The device prduced drinkable water in just half an hur.
The new desalinatin unit needs less pwer than a cell phne charger, reprted Fast Cmpany, and wrks using tw types f electrical fields t filter the saltwater.

（22·23上·宁德·期中）The final event in the Olympics is the marathn. It is als usually the mst exciting. As the leader cmes int the stadium t run the last few meters f the 42-kilmeter race, the crwd rises t its feet t shut and cheer. The name f the race cmes frm a battle(战争) in Ancient Greece. Accrding t the stry, a sldier ran frm the battle field, Marathn, t Athens, t bring the news f a Greek victry against the Persians. He died just after arriving.
The marathn has been an Olympic event since the mdern games started in 1896. At first the distance was 40 kilmeters—the distance between Marathn and Athens. In 1908, hwever, at the Lndn Olympics, it was changed. The King f England wanted the runners t leave frm his castle in Windsr and arrive in a new stadium in central Lndn. The distance was 26 miles—abut 42 kilmeters. In fact, the 1908 marathn ended dramatically(戏剧性地). When the leader, an Italian, entered the stadium he turned the wrng way and fell nt the grund. Officials picked him up and helped him t the finishing line, just as the secnd runner, an American, entered the stadium. The Americans prtested(抗议) and in the end the American runner was declared(宣布) the winner. Since then, there have been many mre exciting marathns.
In fact, yu dn’t have t wait fr the Olympic Games t run r watch a marathn, as there are marathns in ver sixty cuntries and hundreds f cities arund the wrld tday. One f the mst famus marathns is in New Yrk, and is watched by tw millin peple arund the streets and acrss the bridges f the city, and past New Yrk’s famus landmarks. But perhaps ne f the mst beautiful and unique marathns ever is the Great Wall Marathn, which mst cmpetitrs find is the tughest curse t run.
The marathn is the final Olympic event because it is thught t be the hardest. But experts believe that mst peple—even peple wh are nt very gd at sprt—can run a marathn, if they train fr it.

（23·24上·荆州·期末）If yu’ve ever thught that dgs seem t knw when peple are stressed, yu were right. Scientists in Ireland ran an experiment which shwed that dgs can tell the difference between the smell f a persn when they’re relaxed and when they’re stressed.
Researchers at Queen’s University Belfast, led by scientist Clara Wilsn, wrked with fur dgs. They taught the dgs t use a special smell-testing device with three penings. The scientists used treats and rewards (奖励) t train the dgs t find and signal the crrect pening. Over time, the dgs were given harder and harder smelling jbs. The final gal was t see if they culd smell stress in the breath and sweat f a persn.
S the researchers cllected breath and sweat samples (样品) frm 36 different peple. They gt samples when the peple were calm, and als when they were stressed. T stress peple ut, the scientists asked a really difficult math prblem, and frced peple t d it in their heads quickly. And they weren’t nice abut it. They kept telling the peple t hurry up, and didn’t give them any help. That lasted fr three minutes. Then the researchers cllected tw mre sweat and breath samples. They als asked the peple abut their level f stress, and measured their heart rates and bld pressure. Mst peple said they felt very stressed. On average, the heart rate increased frm abut 91 beats per minute t abut 105 beats per minute.
The scientists used ne f the stressed samples, alng with tw clean pieces f clth, t train the dgs t find the stressed smell. Then came the challenge- the dgs had three chices: a sample frm a calm persn, a stressed sample frm that same persn, and a clean piece f clth. In all, the dgs did 720 f these tests. They crrectly identified the stressed sample abut 94% f the time.

（21·22下·漳州·期末）Back-t-back typhns that attacked reefs(礁) and turned crals upside dwn hit in 2014 and 2015 in Australia sea, which ruined the cral ecsystem.
Feeling “abslutely shcked”, Stephen Simpsn, a bilgist at the University f Bristl, decided t channel his srrw int actin. In 2017, he piled up cral remains t build dzens f new small reefs. He placed speakers nearby t play recrdings made when the reefs were healthy. “As I wish, twice as many yung fish settled n the reefs near these speakers”, he says.
In a new paper, Brittany Williams, a graduate student at the University f Adelaide, reviewed prjects that used sund t help restre marine(海洋的) ecsystems. “We wanted t prve that sund has great ptential”, she says. That ptential arises frm the fact that a healthy cean is nisy: fish whistle, dlphins scream, and spiny lbsters play their feeler like vilins. Like the nise f a big city, the familiar sund f a healthy habitat attracts yung creatures that are seeking a permanent hme.
The experiments shwed that sund is ne f the signals baby fish use t find and settle n a cral reef after spending their first weeks swimming in the pen cean. “We realized that the fish might be hearing their way hme,” says Williams.
In experiments begun during her pstgraduate degree, Williams put ysters(牡蛎) int jars and played sme f them a recrding frm a wasteland where an yster reef used t be. Other ysters were played nthing, while a third grup heard the sund f a restred reef. The ysters that heard the restred reef were abut twice as likely as the thers t settle and attach themselves at the bttm f the jar.
61. Why did Stephen Simpsn take actin n the reefs?
A. T play recrdings fr fishes.B. T make the sea peaceful again.

（21·22·泰州·模拟预测）A bld test that accurately predicts a patient’s likelihd f dying frm heart disease r a strke (中风) has been develped.
Researchers tk samples f bld frm 22,949 peple and analyzed the levels f abut 5,000 prteins within it. They then used machine learning t detect whether there was a link between the prteins that circulate in a persn’s bldstream and their risk f heart disease. The study identified a particular “prtein signature” that accurately predicts the chance f suffering a heart attack, strke r heart failure ver a fur-year perid.
Currently, dctrs assess the likelihd f patients suffering heart prblems by lking at factrs including weight, bld pressure, age and chlesterl (胆固醇) levels. Hwever, bld prtein analysis can prvide mre accurate clues t the state f a persn’s health. The technlgy was fund t be twice as accurate as existing tls at measuring a patient’s heart risk. The bld test culd als prvide a faster way f detecting whether patients’ existing medicatin (药物治疗) is wrking and helping t reduce their risk. Existing risk assessments struggle t d this.
The bld test was develped by SmaLgic, based in Bulder, Clrad. The cmpany is als wrking with scientists at Imperial Cllege Lndn t help develp a bld test t detect cancer. Prfessr Eli Ribli said this culd lead t widespread screening fr many different types f cancers, which is nt pssible using existing techniques. His team will wrk with SmaLgic t analyze 15,000 bld samples frm peple wh had develped cancer, cmparing them with 10,000 samples frm peple wh did nt. The results will be used t establish whether there are prtein markers that culd indicate if smene is at risk frm the disease.
In 2019, a trial began in Leeds t use SmaLgic’s technlgy t assess peple’s risk f diabetes, and als the effectiveness f lifestyle changes in preventing the cnditin. Dr Michael Messenger, head f the Leeds Centre fr Persnalized Medicine and Health, said that it culd help tailr treatments t individual patients. “Persnalized medicine lets us take a deeper lk at each persn’s individual bilgy, s we can better understand what the right advice r treatment, at the right time, might be.”

（21·22·长春·模拟预测）ETH Zurich researchers led by rbtics prfessr Marc Hutter have develped a new cntrl apprach that enables a legged rbt, called ANYmal, t mve quickly and steadily ver difficult landfrm. Thanks t machine learning, the rbt can cmbine its visual perceptin (感知) f the envirnment with its sense f tuch fr the first time.
Steep sectins n slippery grund, high steps, stne and frest trails full f rts: the path up the 1098-metre-high Munt Etzel at the suthern end f Lake Zurich is filled with masses f barriers. But ANYmal, the legged rbt frm the Rbtic Systems Lab at ETH Zurich, vercmes the 120 vertical metres effrtlessly in a 31-minute hike. That’s 4 minutes faster than the evaluated duratin fr human hikers and with n falls r missteps.
This is made pssible by a new cntrl technlgy, which researchers at ETH Zurich led by Marc Hutter recently presented in the jurnal Science Rbtics. “The rbt has learned t cmbine visual perceptin f its envirnment with its sense f tuch based n direct leg cntact (接触). This allws it t cpe with rugh landfrm faster, mre efficiently and, abve all, mre steadily,” Hutter says.
Befre the rbt culd put its abilities t the test in the real wrld, Marc Hutter expsed the system t masses f barriers and surces f errr in a virtual training camp. This let the netwrk learn the perfect way fr the rbt t vercme barriers, as well as when it can rely n envirnmental data and when it wuld d better t ignre that data. “With this training, the rbt is able t master the mst difficult natural landfrm withut having seen it befre,” says ETH Zurich Prfessr Hutter.
In the future, ANYmal can be used anywhere that is t dangerus fr humans r t impassable fr ther rbts.

“The last thing we want t d is unduly alarm parents,” said Jhn Bland, a prfessr at Trinity Cllege Dublin in Ireland and ne f the authrs f the Nature Fd study. While the health effects f micrplastics are still unknwn, parents can significantly reduce their infants’ expsure by adding sme steps t their bttle preparatin rutine, Bland said.

Researchers here als fund that plastic tea kettles, plastic instant ndle cups and plastic fd strage cntainers all released similarly high levels f micrplastics when subjected t heat.
As fr what thse micrplastics may be ding in ur bdies, the evidence s far is quite limited and unclear, Schwabl said that pints t a need fr mre research int micrplastics released frm plastic fd strage cntainers, especially when they are subjected t higher temperatures.
