An 89-year-ld man, Manfred Steiner, has reached a gal he spent 20 years wrking tward and nearly a lifetime thinking abut: earning his Ph. D. And nw he is a physicist
Steiner values this degree because it is what he always wanted and because he vercame health prblems that culd have affected his studies. “But I made it, and this was the mst satisfactry pint in my life, t finish it,” he said.
When he was yung, Steiner wanted t becme a physicist after reading abut Albert Einstein. But his mther and uncle persuaded him that studying medicine wuld be a better chice. He earned his medical degree in 1955 and mved t the US sn after.
Steiner studied hematlgy（血液学）at Tufts University and bichemistry at the Massachusetts Institute f Technlgy. He became a full prfessr and led the hematlgy department at Brwns’ medical schl frm 1985 t 1994. Steiner helped establish a research prgram in hematlgy at the University f Nrth Carlina. He directed that prgram until he retired frm medicine in 2000.
Steiner fund medical research pleasing, but it was nt quite the same as his interest in physics. “It was smething like a wish that was never fulfilled, that always stuck in the back f my head,” he said. At age 70, he started taking undergraduate classes.
Physics prfessr Brad Marstn was surprised when Steiner entered his quantum mechanics class. But he became Steiner’s adviser fr his dissertatin（学位论文）after realizing hw serius Steiner was abut the subject and hw hard he wrked. “He has written many papers in medical science, mre papers than I’ve written in physics,” Marstn said. “One thing that’s really true abut Manfred is that he perseveres.”
After the university published a stry abut Steiner n its website, peple acrss the US cntacted him t ask fr advice n hw t g after their dreams later in life. His advice is: D what yu lve t d.
4. Why did Steiner value his degree in physics?
A. Because it slved his health prblems.B. Because it was his lng-pursued dream.
C. Because it met his mther’s expectatin.D. Because it was inspired by Albert Einstein.
5. What is paragraph 4 mainly abut?
A. Steiner’s cntributins t teaching.B. Steiner’s researches after retirement.
C. Steiner’s achievements in hematlgy.D. Steiner’s perfrmances at Tufts University.
6. What impressed Prfessr Marstn mst abut Steiner?
A. His taking undergraduate classes at 70.B. His writing mre papers in physics.
C. His sticking t becming a physicist.D. His being a rle mdel fr Americans.
7. Which f the fllwing can best describe Steiner?
A. Active and pen-minded.B. Enthusiastic and easy-ging.
C. Intelligent and warm-hearted.D. Perseverant and hard-wrking.
C
When I was five, I nce peeled ff the paper that envelped my crayns and snapped them in tw. My great enthusiasm was dampened t find just mre crayn inside. When I started writing wrds with pencils, I wuld twist them inside a sharpener t see if the pencil lead went all the way thrugh the bdy. Grwing up, I saw my televisin taken apart t reveal the inner wrkings that nly made sense when I did a degree in physics.
Then I landed a career in engineering, spending six years as part f the team that designed the Shard, a famus building in Lndn. Actually, whether I knew it r nt, I was already n a missin t understand hw things are frmed.
After explring the big, I decided t turn t the small. I realized whatever matter frms human-made bjects, cmplex devices are made up f fundamental building blcks, withut which ur cmplex machinery wuldn’t exist.
It is this idea that inspired my bk where I select what I believe are seven cre elements that frm the basis f the wrld-the nail, the wheel, the spring, the magnet, the lens, the pump and the string. Tgether they cmpse a vast range f innvatins in terms f their underlying (潜在的) scientific principles and the fields f engineering they tuch. They’ve changed ur technlgy, and had a sweeping impact n ur histry, arts, culture, cmmunicatin, plitical and pwer structures, etc.
The blender we use t make baby’s fd relies n gears (齿轮), which culdn’t exist withut the wheel. The speaker n the phne relies n a magnet. Even when we think f larger and mre cmplex bjects-diggers, skyscrapers, satellites-we cme back t the same seven fundatinal innvatins.
S, lk arund yu, and ask questins abut what yu see: reignite(重燃) that childhd curisity. Hpefully, that will inspire yu t investigate and lead yu t a better understanding f the building blcks f ur wrld.
8 Why des the authr mentin crayns in paragraph 1?
A. T explain his chice f cllege majr.
B. T demnstrate his fascinatin with tls.
C. T highlight his disappintment at the discvery.
D. T shw his early passin fr the insides f bjects.
9. What made the authr’s bk pssible?
A. His experience in designing buildings.
B. His understanding f the rigin f things.
C. His finding f the cmpnents f machinery.
D His perspective n the peratin f the wrld.
10. What d we knw abut the seven cre elements?
A. They thrw light n scientific principles.
B They have a prfund influence n sciety.
C. They mark an era f technlgical innvatin.
D. They represent the advancement in engineering.
11. What can be the best title fr the text?

Humans, by nature, have always lived in grups and scial interactin is fundamental fr every part f ur health. Lack f it can lead t feelings f islatin and lneliness. A strng supprt netwrk and slid cmmunity bnds prmte ur emtinal and physical health, and are critical cmpnents f a balanced adult life. Hwever, just as with many ther aspects f ur lives, there seems t be a limit t hw large ur persnal netwrks can grw.
Back in 1992, a British schlar named Rbin Dunbar came up with a hypthetical (假设的) number defining the maximum sum f meaningful human relatinships a persn can have. The number, which was later named after him, was discvered accidentally while he was studying the cleaning and brushing tendencies — a scial behavir —f nn-human primates (灵长类动物). Arund that time, researchers had discvered that the large brain f these primates was a result f their scially cmplex scieties. The relevance was that the larger the brain, the larger the animal's scial grup was likely t be. Scientists culd then theretically use an animal's brain size t calculate hw many members culd make up this grup. Dunbar applied this thery t humans, and the resulting number was rughly 150.
Dunbar's Number, hwever, nly refers t the limit f meaningful cntacts within ur scial netwrk. It des nt accunt fr ther relatinships. Human scial relatinships tend t have numerus layers, and extend utward frm the individual in circles with the same centre. The innermst circle cntains five peple: ur lved nes. The next circle hlds f ur gd friends. The third circle is reserved fr peple we cnsider friends, and the furth is where the limit f 150 can be fund. Nwadays, with varius frms f electrnic cmmunicatin, such as websites fr scial netwrking and micrblgging peple find it very cnvenient t create nline cmmunities t share infrmatin, ideas, persnal messages, and ther cntents. Cnsequently, it is pssible fr a human t get int the fifth (500acquainitances) circle, an impressive breakthrugh that was difficult t achieve in the past.
12. What can be learned abut Dunbar's Number in Paragraph 2?
A. It is cnfirmed by the scial reality.
B. It serves as an accurate measurement.
C. It is backed by a certain theretical basis.
D. It establishes links between health and netwrk.
13. Which f the fllwing diagrams illustrates human scial relatinships?
A. B.
C. D.
14. Why is it easy tday t g beynd the furth circle f human relatinships?
A. Human brains are becming bigger and bigger.
B. Scial media have cntributed t the phenmenn.
C. Meaningful cntacts grw significantly with age.
D. Peple are eager t imprve every aspect f their lives.
15. What can be a suitable title fr the text?
A. Grup Living: A Slutin t Health Prblems
B. Dunbar's Thery: A Ladder t Career Success
C. Scial Netwrk: A Sured f Endless Pleasure
D. Dunbar's Number: A Measure f Scial Relatins

An 89-year-ld man, Manfred Steiner, has reached a gal he spent 20 years wrking tward and nearly a lifetime thinking abut: earning his Ph. D. And nw he is a physicist
Steiner values this degree because it is what he always wanted and because he vercame health prblems that culd have affected his studies. “But I made it, and this was the mst satisfactry pint in my life, t finish it,” he said.
When he was yung, Steiner wanted t becme a physicist after reading abut Albert Einstein. But his mther and uncle persuaded him that studying medicine wuld be a better chice. He earned his medical degree in 1955 and mved t the US sn after.
Steiner studied hematlgy（血液学）at Tufts University and bichemistry at the Massachusetts Institute f Technlgy. He became a full prfessr and led the hematlgy department at Brwns’ medical schl frm 1985 t 1994. Steiner helped establish a research prgram in hematlgy at the University f Nrth Carlina. He directed that prgram until he retired frm medicine in 2000.
Steiner fund medical research pleasing, but it was nt quite the same as his interest in physics. “It was smething like a wish that was never fulfilled, that always stuck in the back f my head,” he said. At age 70, he started taking undergraduate classes.
Physics prfessr Brad Marstn was surprised when Steiner entered his quantum mechanics class. But he became Steiner’s adviser fr his dissertatin（学位论文）after realizing hw serius Steiner was abut the subject and hw hard he wrked. “He has written many papers in medical science, mre papers than I’ve written in physics,” Marstn said. “One thing that’s really true abut Manfred is that he perseveres.”
After the university published a stry abut Steiner n its website, peple acrss the US cntacted him t ask fr advice n hw t g after their dreams later in life. His advice is: D what yu lve t d.

When I was five, I nce peeled ff the paper that envelped my crayns and snapped them in tw. My great enthusiasm was dampened t find just mre crayn inside. When I started writing wrds with pencils, I wuld twist them inside a sharpener t see if the pencil lead went all the way thrugh the bdy. Grwing up, I saw my televisin taken apart t reveal the inner wrkings that nly made sense when I did a degree in physics.
Then I landed a career in engineering, spending six years as part f the team that designed the Shard, a famus building in Lndn. Actually, whether I knew it r nt, I was already n a missin t understand hw things are frmed.
After explring the big, I decided t turn t the small. I realized whatever matter frms human-made bjects, cmplex devices are made up f fundamental building blcks, withut which ur cmplex machinery wuldn’t exist.
It is this idea that inspired my bk where I select what I believe are seven cre elements that frm the basis f the wrld-the nail, the wheel, the spring, the magnet, the lens, the pump and the string. Tgether they cmpse a vast range f innvatins in terms f their underlying (潜在的) scientific principles and the fields f engineering they tuch. They’ve changed ur technlgy, and had a sweeping impact n ur histry, arts, culture, cmmunicatin, plitical and pwer structures, etc.
The blender we use t make baby’s fd relies n gears (齿轮), which culdn’t exist withut the wheel. The speaker n the phne relies n a magnet. Even when we think f larger and mre cmplex bjects-diggers, skyscrapers, satellites-we cme back t the same seven fundatinal innvatins.

Humans, by nature, have always lived in grups and scial interactin is fundamental fr every part f ur health. Lack f it can lead t feelings f islatin and lneliness. A strng supprt netwrk and slid cmmunity bnds prmte ur emtinal and physical health, and are critical cmpnents f a balanced adult life. Hwever, just as with many ther aspects f ur lives, there seems t be a limit t hw large ur persnal netwrks can grw.
Back in 1992, a British schlar named Rbin Dunbar came up with a hypthetical (假设的) number defining the maximum sum f meaningful human relatinships a persn can have. The number, which was later named after him, was discvered accidentally while he was studying the cleaning and brushing tendencies — a scial behavir —f nn-human primates (灵长类动物). Arund that time, researchers had discvered that the large brain f these primates was a result f their scially cmplex scieties. The relevance was that the larger the brain, the larger the animal's scial grup was likely t be. Scientists culd then theretically use an animal's brain size t calculate hw many members culd make up this grup. Dunbar applied this thery t humans, and the resulting number was rughly 150.
Dunbar's Number, hwever, nly refers t the limit f meaningful cntacts within ur scial netwrk. It des nt accunt fr ther relatinships. Human scial relatinships tend t have numerus layers, and extend utward frm the individual in circles with the same centre. The innermst circle cntains five peple: ur lved nes. The next circle hlds f ur gd friends. The third circle is reserved fr peple we cnsider friends, and the furth is where the limit f 150 can be fund. Nwadays, with varius frms f electrnic cmmunicatin, such as websites fr scial netwrking and micrblgging peple find it very cnvenient t create nline cmmunities t share infrmatin, ideas, persnal messages, and ther cntents. Cnsequently, it is pssible fr a human t get int the fifth (500acquainitances) circle, an impressive breakthrugh that was difficult t achieve in the past.
12. What can be learned abut Dunbar's Number in Paragraph 2?
A. It is cnfirmed by the scial reality.
B. It serves as an accurate measurement.
C. It is backed by a certain theretical basis.
D. It establishes links between health and netwrk.
13. Which f the fllwing diagrams illustrates human scial relatinships?
A. B.

14. Why is it easy tday t g beynd the furth circle f human relatinships?
A. Human brains are becming bigger and bigger.
B. Scial media have cntributed t the phenmenn.
C. Meaningful cntacts grw significantly with age.
D. Peple are eager t imprve every aspect f their lives.

【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了英国学者罗宾·邓巴在研究灵长类动物清洁和梳毛的倾向这一社会行为时，意外发现了邓巴数——按照人类的大脑大小，一个人可以与大约150个人建立稳定人际关系。但是现在随着媒体的发展，这个150人的限制被打破。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。从第二段第二句开始“The number, which was later named after him, was discvered accidentally while he was studying the cleaning and brushing tendencies — a scial behavir —f nn-human primates (灵长类动物). Arund that time, researchers had discvered that the large brain f these primates was a result f their scially cmplex scieties. The relevance was that the larger the brain, the larger the animal's scial grup was likely t be. Scientists culd then theretically use an animal’s brain size t calculate hw many members culd make up this grup.(这个数，后来以他的名字命名为邓巴数，是意外地发现的，当时他正在研究非人类的灵长类动物的一个社会行为——清洁和梳毛的倾向。大约在那个时候，研究人员就已发现，这些灵长类动物的大大的大脑是它们复杂社会的结果。与此相关的是，大脑越大，动物的社会群体可能就越大。从理论上讲，科学家们可以利用动物大脑的大小来计算出这个群体可以由多少成员组成。邓巴将这一理论应用于人类，结果是大约150人)”可知，科学家们建立了“利用动物大脑的大小来计算出这个群体可以由多少成员组成”的理论，换言之，“个体的大脑的大小决定了该个体的朋友圈的总人数”。邓巴数告诉我们：按照人类的大脑大小，一个人可以与大约150个人建立稳定人际关系，这个结论是以前面提到的理论为基础得来的。故选C项。

Tim Hayward describes this prcess as “weird” and “baffling”. He says, “Yu walk int the cffee shp, yu get the smell, but when yu actually take the drink ut, yu are drinking it frm smething that is designed t deliver the ht liquid directly past yur tngue, but prevent any smell cming up t yur nse.”
____20____ In 2011, it was estimated that 2.5 billin cffee cups were thrwn away each year in the UK, and that figure is likely t be higher nw. S maybe nw is the time t really wake up and smell the cffee by drinking frm a cup r mug in a café, chatting with friends and saving the planet.
A. He believes the smell is abslutely vital.
B. Cffee beans’ rigin makes all the difference.
C. In a wrd, saving ur planet is n the tp f ur agenda.
D. Yes, it’s cnvenient, but is it really the right way t appreciate it?
E. As well as eliminating the smell, takeaway cffee cups create a lt f waste.

上文“Tim Hayward is a fd writer and cffee shp wner. (蒂姆·海沃德是一位美食作家和咖啡店老板。)”介绍被采访者身份信息，下文“When yu walk int the cffee shp in the mrning and that smell hits yu, yu’re getting physilgical respnses,” he tld the BBC. (他在接受BBC采访时表示：“当你早上走进咖啡店，闻到咖啡的香味时，你会产生生理反应。)”可以推出，空处需要填的是蒂姆·海沃德对于咖啡香气的观点——非常重要，因为闻到了咖啡香味甚至会产生生理反应。A项“他认为气味是绝对重要的。”符合文意，且选项中的“He”对应前文Tim Hayward。故选A项。
【18题详解】
上文“I knw frm experience when I walk int a café fr my duble espress r flat white, my muth begins t water in anticipatin. (根据我的经验，当我走进咖啡厅去点双份浓缩咖啡或馥芮白的时候，我就会因为期待而开始流口水。)”可知，作者“根据自己的经验”指的是会因为咖啡的香味走进一家咖啡店，并且作者一般会点一些重咖啡因的无糖咖啡，并且会因为闻到了气味而感到期待。F项“虽然我追求的是咖啡因，但让我感觉良好的是它的味道。”对前文有总结作用。故选F项。
【19题详解】
上文“This is particularly the case when I rder a cffee t g in a tall paper cup and sip the liquid thrugh a hle in the lid. (当我点了一杯装在高纸杯里的咖啡，然后通过杯盖上的一个洞喝咖啡时，这种情况尤其明显。)”可知，作者发现用咖啡杯喝咖啡最容易感到失望，下文“Tim Hayward describes this prcess as “weird” and “baffling”.(蒂姆•海沃德将这一过程描述为“怪异”和“令人困惑”。) ”和“yu are drinking it frm smething that is designed t deliver the ht liquid directly past yur tngue, but prevent any smell cming up t yur nse.” (你喝的是某种设计好的东西，它能让热液体直接经过你的舌头，但防止任何气味进入你的鼻子。”)”用蒂姆·海沃德解释了作者发现的这一现象。由此可以推出，空处需要填一句话将上下文段联系在一起。D项“是的，这很方便，但这真的是欣赏咖啡的正确方式吗？”符合文意，选项中“it”指的是用咖啡杯喝咖啡很方便。故选D项。
【20题详解】
上文“yu are drinking it frm smething that is designed t deliver the ht liquid directly past yur tngue, but prevent any smell cming up t yur nse.” (你喝的是某种设计好的东西，它能让热液体直接经过你的舌头，但防止任何气味进入你的鼻子。”)”可知，咖啡杯会过滤掉咖啡的香气，下文“In 2011, it was estimated that 2.5 billin cffee cups were thrwn away each year in the UK, and that figure is likely t be higher nw. S maybe nw is the time t really wake up and smell the cffee by drinking frm a cup r mug in a café, chatting with friends and saving the planet. (据估计，英国每年有二十五亿个咖啡杯被扔掉，而现在这个数字可能更高。所以，也许现在是时候真正清醒过来，在咖啡厅里用杯子或马克杯喝咖啡，和朋友聊天，拯救地球。)”讲的是咖啡杯对环境造成的影响。故空处需要承上启下。E项“外带咖啡杯除了会减去咖啡的味道之外，还会造成大量浪费。”对前文有总结作用，对后文有启下作用。故选E项。
