Lcatin
St Helena is ne f the remtest islands n Earth. The subtrpical (亚热带的) British Overseas Territry sits in the middle f the Suth Atlantic Ocean, 1, 200 miles frm the west cast f Africa and 1, 800 miles frm the east cast f Suth America.
Size Ppulatin
St Helena is nly 16 km lng and 9 km wide and the ppulatin is 5, 000. This is 1/3 the size f the Isle f Wight, and the same size as Disney Wrld Orland. This is als the same size as San Francisc-yet the island has just 0. 5% f San Francisc's ppulatin. With an extremely lw-crime cmmunity, yu can freely explre the island's natural and built attractins in peace.
Climate
As a subtrpical island, St Helena's temperature is 15 -28°C all year rund. While the fur seasns are nt recgnized n St Helena, the "cler mnths" are generally June t September and the "htter mnths" are December t March. St Helena is free frm extreme weather events, with even thunderstrms nly ccurring perhaps nce a decade.
Accessibility
Until 2017, St Helena did nt have an airprt and was nly accessible by sea. Reaching the island meant a five-day ship vyage frm Cape Twn, Suth Africa. Hwever, since Octber 2017, the island's first and nly airprt has enabled passengers t reach the island in just a six-hur flight.

Fr a lng time, I kept a selectin f bks n a shelf next t my bed that I called my “heart bks”. T qualify fr a place n the shelf, a bk had t be nt nly ne I lved, but ne that mattered. There was ne bk that never made it nt that shelf, thugh I read it in high schl: Writing Dwn the Bnes by Natalie Gldberg.
I can still remember the day I bught it. It was summer and I must have been 14 r 15. Desperate t get ut f my huse, I rde my bike int twn and walked int the bkstre. I was ging thrugh the shelf f bks n writing and it caught my eye. I picked it up, read a few pages, and bught it. Then I tk it with me t a park, read the first few chapters, and pened my ntebk t write.
It’s a fairly straightfrward writing bk. Gldberg’s methd is simple: yu chse a tpic, set a timer, and write fr 10, 15, r 20 minutes withut picking up yur pen. Free writing, timed writing, writing tpics: anyne wh has taken a creative writing class may have encuntered these things. It’s nt earth-shattering. There was nthing particularly new r unusual abut the bk s I can’t say why it attracted me s much. But it changed everything. I went frm being smene wh enjyed writing t being a writer.
During my teen years and early twenties, fllwing Gldberg’s methd was at the cre f my identity. N matter where I was r what I was ding, I filled ntebks. When I eventually started writing fictin, I did the same thing. The “I” in my ntebks became smene else, but I held t the same practice.
This writing practice led me t a writing grup in Bstn. It led me t my current career. It led me, in s many ways, t myself. Becming a writer allwed me t becme s many ther things: an activist, a business wner, a farmer, a baker... Writing is where I fund my cnfidence. It was where I became curius abut the wrld. Frm that, everything else has fllwed.
4．Hw did the authr encunter Writing Dwn the Bnes?
A. By fllwing a selectin f “heart bks”.
B. By referring t a bk list abut writing.
C. By recmmendatin f Natalie Gldberg.
D. By seeking writing bks n a bkshelf.
5．What des the wrd “earth-shattering” underlined in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Trivial.B. Remarkable.C. Apprpriate.D. Amusing.
6．What can we infer abut Writing Dwn the Bnes?
A. It inspired the authr t be a writer.
B. It was the first nvel the authr read.
C. It made the authr start t lve writing.
D. It is ne f the bks the authr reads mst.
7．Which f the fllwing is answered by the last paragraph?
A. What is the authr’s life like right nw?
B. What did the authr d in the writing grup?
C. Hw has the writing practice shaped the authr?
D. Why did the authr give up the writing practice?
Have yu ever walked thrugh a dr and thught t yurself, “What was I ging t d?” If yu have, yu are nt alne. Psychlgists believe that walking thrugh a dr and entering anther rm creates a “mental blck” in the brain. This is generally referred t as the drway effect.
In the early years f brain research, scientists thught that human memry was like a clset, with many sectins in which we culd stre little bxes f experiences frm ur lives. Bxes wuld remain there frever, and whenever we had t lk int them, we culd just g t that particular sectin and find that bx f memry.
Beautiful as this descriptin f human memry frmatin sunds, it is nt true. Our brain is much mre cmplex than that. Psychlgical studies suggest that ur memries are episdic(情节性的) in general. If yu think back n anything, yu’ll prbably quickly realize ur memries dn’t functin as clear narratives. Instead, they’re mre episdic and divided int parts.
A new research led by psychlgist Oliver Baumann frm Bnd University in Australia suggests that it’s nt s much the drways that cause a memry wipe, as mving frm ne lcatin t a significantly different ne—it’s the abrupt change f scene that prepares ur minds fr smething new. “A gd example is mving arund in a department stre,” says Baumann, “Taking the elevatr between flrs may have n effect n ur memry, but mving frm the stre t the parking lt might cause us t frget smething that we need t buy.”
Baumann als pints ut that a busy and perhaps verladed brain des seem t play sme part in this phenmenn. In ther wrds, walking thrugh pen drs is thught t reset memry t make rm fr a new episde.
The gd news is that experiencing such frgettable episdes after entering anther rm des nt tell yu anything abut yur memry and intelligence. S when yu enter a rm and suddenly frget why yu are there, yu shuld nt think that Alzheimer’s disease is creeping up n yu!
8．Which f the fllwing wuld mst prbably be “drway effect”?
A. Yu missed a call and frgt t ring back.
B. Yu read a bk and frget what it is abut.
C. Yu entered the ffice and frgt what t get.
D. Yu saw a man years ag and frget wh he is nw.
9．What can we learn frm the passage?
A. All memries are linked in the brain.
B. Memries are clearly separated in the brain.
C.Nt all the memries can be fund in the brain.
D. Memries are stred in particular sectins f the brain.
10．What can we infer frm Baumann’s research?
A. Taking an elevatr stimulates new memry.
B. Walking thrugh pen drs results in memry lss.
C. A sudden change f the scene bsts intelligence develpment.
D. An verladed brain increases the pssibility f drway effect.
11．What des the authr think f “drway effect”?
A. Insignificant.B. Beneficial.C. Influential.D. Damaging.
As peple becme mre aware f the imprtance f ec-friendly pwer surces, we have devted much time t inventing creative devices. A newly develped paper battery prmises t make a big difference t single-use electrnics.
The battery is crafted frm sustainable materials, which nt nly strengthens its ec-friendliness but als makes it cst-effective t prduce. This cmbinatin f bidegradability (可生物降解) and affrdability makes it attractive fr a wide range f applicatins. Anther standut feature f this paper battery is its flexibility in terms f shape and size. Unlike traditinal batteries that are available in fixed sizes, this paper battery can be tailred t meet diverse requirements.
In reality, the paper battery is enugh t pwer an LCD alarm clck. “While it wn’t be charging up yur cmputer anytime sn, there’s lts f ptential fr lw-pwered sensrs. We present a printed paper battery develped t pwer single-use dispsable electrnics and t reduce their envirnmental impact t the lwest level,” write the researchers in their published paper.
The battery is based n a metal-air electrchemical cell. Made frm sdium chlride salt-diffused (氯化钠盐扩散的) paper, it can measure as little as ne square centimeter, and is based n printed inks. All that’s needed, then, is a small amunt f water, as little as tw drps. This disslves the salts within the paper, and then activates the battery as they travel. The battery starts prducing pwer arund 20 secnds after water is added, accrding t the experiments carried ut by the team.
Althugh the perfrmance decreases ver time as the paper dries ut, it can be tpped up t sme extent with mre water. The researchers say they want t imprve the efficiency f the battery in the future, and get it wrking fr lnger. “With a rising awareness f the e-waste prblem and the emergence f single-use electrnics fr applicatins, there is a grwing need fr lw envirnmental impact batteries,” write the researchers.
12．Which is a feature f the paper battery?
A. It is made frm single-use materials.
B. It is cstly t put tgether.
C. It can be used t charge up yur cmputer.
D. It can be prduced in diverse shapes.
13．What can we learn abut the paper battery accrding t the text?
A. It can be applied t any electrnics.
B. It is able t supply energy t ur cell-phnes.
C. Its pwer can be refilled by adding sme water.
D. It has reduced the envirnmental impact t the lwest.
14．What’s the main idea f paragraph 4?
A. What the paper battery cnsists f.
B. Hw the paper battery wrks.
C. Where the paper battery can be applied.
D. Why the paper battery is ppular.
15．What is mst likely t be the fcus f future research accrding t the researchers?
A. Hw t get rid f impacts f single-use electrnics.
B. Hw t imprve the efficiency f the paper battery.
C. Hw t reduce the demand fr single-use electrnics.
D. Hw t raise peple’s awareness f e-waste prblems.

This is generally referred t as the drway effect.(你有没有穿过一扇门，心中在想：‘我是要去干什么？’如果你有，你并不孤单。心理学家认为，穿过一扇门进入另一个房间会在大脑中造成‘精神障碍’。这通常被称为门口效应)”可知，进入一个房间忘记自己要做的事情被称作门口效应。故选C。
9．答案：C
解析：推理判断题。根据第二段“In the early years f brain research, scientists thught that human memry was like a clset, with many sectins in which we culd stre little bxes f experiences frm ur lives.

Our brain is much mre cmplex than that. Psychlgical studies suggest that ur memries are episdic(情节性的)in general. If yu think back n anything, yu’ll prbably quickly realize ur memries dn’t functin as clear narratives. Instead, they’re mre episdic and divided int parts.(这个关于人类记忆形成的描述听起来很美，但它是不真实的。我们的大脑比这复杂的多。心理学研究表明，我们的记忆通常是情节性的。如果你回想什么事情，你可能很快就会意识到我们的记忆并不是清晰的叙事。相反，它们更有情节性，被分成了多个部分)”可知，并不是所有的记忆都是可以在大脑中找到的。故选C。
10．答案：D
解析：细节理解题。根据倒数第二段第一句“Baumann als pints ut that a busy and perhaps verladed brain des seem t play sme part in this phenmenn.(Baumann还指出，一个忙碌且可能超负荷的大脑似乎确实在这种现象中发挥了一些作用)”可知，超负荷的大脑会增加门口效应的可能性。故选D。
11．答案：A
解析：推理判断题，根据最后一段“The gd news is that experiencing such frgettable episdes after entering anther rm des nt tell yu anything abut yur memry and intelligence. S when yu enter a rm and suddenly frget why yu are there, yu shuld nt think that Alzheimer’s disease is creeping up n yu!(好消息是，在进入另一个房间后经历这种遗忘的插曲不会告诉你任何关于你的记忆力和智力的事情。所以，当你走进一个房间，突然忘记了自己为什么在那里时，你不应该认为阿尔茨海默病正在悄悄靠近你！)”可知出现门口效应并不表示记忆力或智力出现问题，没有什么影响。故选A。
12．答案：D

14．答案：B
解析：主旨大意题。根据文章第四段“The battery is based n a metal-air electrchemical cell. Made frm sdium chlride salt-diffused paper, it can measure as little as ne square centimeter, and is based n printed inks. All that’s needed, then, is a small amunt f water, as little as tw drps. This disslves the salts within the paper, and then activates the battery as they travel. (这种电池是基于金属-空气电化学电池。它由氯化钠盐扩散纸制成，尺寸小至1平方厘米，以印刷油墨为基础。那么，所需要的只是少量的水，只有两滴。这将溶解纸中的盐，然后在它们移动时激活电池。)”可知，第四段主要讲述了纸电池是如何工作的。故选B。
15．答案：B
解析：推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“The researchers say they want t imprve the efficiency f the battery in the future, and get it wrking fr lnger.(研究人员表示，他们希望在未来提高电池效率，并使其工作更长时间。)”可推知，研究人员表示，如何提高纸电池的效率最有可能是未来研究的重点。故选B。

②从后文“What t d during yur gap year can be tailred t suit yur needs, interests and budget. Let’s lk at a few ideas that can just help yu! (空档年做什么可以根据你的需求、兴趣和预算来定制。让我们来看看一些可以帮助你的想法！)”中提到的“during yur gap year”说明此处应将gap year作为话题。故G选项“Whatever yur reasns, a gap year can be an enriching and exciting time. (无论你的原因是什么，空档年都可能是一个丰富而激动人心的时刻)”能引起下文，符合题意。故选G。
③从后文“Yu can becme a babysitter in yur cmmunity r wrk n an il field in anther cuntry. (你可以在你的社区做保姆，或者在另一个国家的油田工作)”可知，此处提议找工作。故B选项“Why nt apply fr a jb lcally r abrad? (为什么不在本地或国外申请工作？)”能引起下文，符合题意。故选B。
④从后文“Chsing a sprting adventure in anther cuntry (选择在另一个国家进行体育冒险)”可知，此处是另一个建议。故C选项“Hw abut cmbining sprts with learning? (把运动和学习结合起来怎么样？)”能引起下文，符合题意。故选C。

解析：①考查动词时态。句意：视频中的白狐外形柔软可爱，经过人工饲养和管理，皮毛干净无臭，给游客提供了很好的体验，频频出现在热搜榜上。分析句子，设空处使用动词作谓语，根据句意和后文的is可知，句子表述客观事实，故使用一般现在时。句子的主语为the white fx为单数，谓语动词用单数形式。故填has。
②考查副词。句意同上。分析句子，设空处使用frequent的副词frequently作状语，修饰动词appearing。故填frequently。
③考查冠词。句意：对于这个项目，一些人认为这是一种创新的旅游体验，可以增加游客的互动性和参与性，而另一些人则担心白狐的安全和健康。分析句子，句中experience为可数名词，此处表示泛指，同时其修饰词innvative首字母为元音音素。故填an。
