Running can be a polarizing (两极分化的) subject. Most people fall into one of two camps: those who love running every morning, and those who would sooner do anything to avoid it. For most of my life, I was planted in the second camp.
I always hated running. At age 12, I remember entering a neighborhood 5K with my dad; I also remember placing dead last, followed by only the police car driving patiently behind me. Three years later, I didn’t make the junior volleyball team because I couldn’t run a mile in under 10 minutes. Every time I ran, I felt as though failure — in some form or another — was the only possible result.
The summer after my freshman year, though, I took a job at a summer camp in Connecticut, where I got paid to be a kid again. I spent my days keeping an eye on different camp activities. When it came to exercise, running was my only choice. So, I made myself a promise: Every day, I would run for a while. By most runners’ standards, it wasn’t far; I guessed it was only about a mile. But I decided to do it every day, no matter how long it took. The exercise lasted for 61 days — the entire time I spent at camp that summer.
I started to feel better about myself. But to my great surprise, I learned to love running, too. I went from fearing the sport to loving it. I’ve finished seven marathons (马拉松) and more shorter races than I can remember, and now I am a running coach. These were the secrets I discovered to changing my way of looking at life.

Recently according to a new research，humans have had a link to starches (含淀粉的食物) for up to 120,000 years — that’s more than 100,000 years longer than we’ve been able to plant them in the soil during the time of the Ice Age’s drawing to an end. The research is part of an ongoing study into the history of Middle Stone Age communities.
An international team of scientists identified evidence of prehistoric starch consumption in the Klasies River Cave, in present-day South Africa. Analyzing small, ashy, undisturbed hearths (壁炉) inside the cave, the researchers found “pieces of burned starches” ranging from around 120,000 to 65,000 years old. It made them the oldest known examples of starches eaten by humans.
The findings do not come as a complete surprise — but rather as welcome confirmation of older theories that lacked the related evidence. The lead author Cynthia Larbey said that there had previously only been genetic (基因的) biological evidence to suggest that humans had been eating starch for this long. This new evidence, however, takes us directly to the dinner table, and supports the previous assumption that humans，digestion genes gradually evolved in order to fit into an increased digestion of starch.
Co-author Sarah Wurz said, “The starch remains show that these early humans living in the Klasies River Cave could battle against their tough environment and find suitable foods and perhaps medicines. And as much as we all still desire the tubers (块茎), these cave communities were grilling starches such as potatoes on their foot-long hearths. They knew how to balance their diets as well as they could, with fats from local fish and other animals.”
As early as the 1990s, some researchers started to study the hearths in the Klasies River Cave. Scientist Hilary Deacon first suggested that these hearths contained burned plants. At the time, the proper methods of examining the remains were not yet available. We now know human beings have always been searching for their desired things.
8. When did humans begin to farm starches?
A. After the Ice Age.
B. After the Middle Stone Age.
C. About 20,000 years ago.
D. About 100,000 years ago.
9. According to the scientists, what do the remains in the Klasies River Cave show ?
A. South Africa once had rich soil to grow crops
B. hearths were widespread in early human history
C. early humans possibly drove away animals by fire
D. settlers there might have used fire to cook starches
10. What was the previous assumption of starches?
A. Starch diet promoted food culture.
B. Starch diet shaped humans’ evolution.
C. Starches had a variety of functions.
D. Starches offered humans rich nutrition.
11. What can we learn about the early humans described by Sarah Wurz?
A. They were smart and tough.
B. They preferred plants to meat.
C. They were generally very healthy.
D. They got along with each other.
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. B 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了最新研究发现人类与淀粉联系可追溯到12万年前。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Recently according to a new research，humans have had a link to starches (含淀粉的食物) for up to 120,000 years — that’s more than 100,000 years longer than we’ve been able to plant them in the soil during the time of the Ice Age’s drawing to an end.(根据最近的一项新研究，人类与淀粉的联系可达12万年之久——这比我们在冰河时代接近结束时将淀粉种在土壤中的时间还要长10万年)”可知，人类与淀粉的联系达12万年之久，比人类种植淀粉的时间长10万年，所以人类是大约2万年前开始种植淀粉的。故选C项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“An international team of scientists identified evidence of prehistoric starch consumption in the Klasies River Cave, in present-day South Africa. Analyzing small, ashy, undisturbed hearths (壁炉) inside the cave, the researchers found “pieces of burned starches” ranging from around 120,000 to 65,000 years old. (一个由国际科学家组成的团队在现今南非的克拉西斯河洞穴中发现了史前食用淀粉的证据。研究人员分析了洞穴内保存完好的、灰蒙蒙的小火炉，发现了“烧焦的淀粉碎片”，其历史大约在12万至6.5万年之间)”可推知，克拉西斯河洞穴中的残留物表明那里的定居者可能用火来煮淀粉。故选D项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“This new evidence, however, takes us directly to the dinner table, and supports the previous assumption that humans，digestion genes gradually evolved in order to fit into an increased digestion of starch.(然而，这个新的证据直接把我们带到了餐桌上，并支持了之前的假设，即人类的消化基因逐渐进化，以适应对淀粉的消化增加)”可知，之前关于淀粉的假设是淀粉饮食影响了人类的进化。故选B项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中Sarah Wurz的话“The starch remains show that these early humans living in the Klasies River Cave could battle against their tough environment and find suitable foods and perhaps medicines.(淀粉遗迹表明，这些生活在克拉西斯河洞穴的早期人类能够与恶劣的环境作斗争，并找到合适的食物，也许还有药物)”可推知，他们既聪明又坚韧。故选A项。
D
If someone created a flying machine capable of tracking you down by listening for your voice, you might be terrified. But what if you were trapped in ruins after a natural disaster and first responders couldn’t locate you? Maybe then a human-seeking drone (无人机) wouldn’t be such a terrible idea. That concept is the focus for engineers at German’s Fraunhofer FIE Institute, who’ve built a drone to find people by detecting (探测) human screams.
“The human-seeking drone would be ideal for post-disaster situations, such as earthquakes, hurricanes and wildfires”, said Macarena Varela, one of the lead engineers. “They could hover over an area that rescue crews have difficulty getting to and locate exactly where people may be trapped.”
Locating people by sound presents its share of challenges. An auditory (听觉的) system would need to distinguish human cries from sounds that often happen in nature, such as animal calls and wind. It might also need to recognize patterns associated with kicking, clapping or other ways people try to get the attention of rescue teams.
Engineers took those situations into account when building out their concept drone. They recorded themselves screaming, tapping and creating other noises that might be a sign of people in trouble. Then, they analyzed each sound frequency to find common signatures and used those to train artificial intelligence software. They also worked to remove the noise created by the drone and other environmental sounds.
Once the software part was complete, the team placed tiny digital microphones under the drone and used signal processing techniques that enabled them to track where human noises are coming from. The microphones also enhanced the volume and clarity of the speech. So far, they have conducted successful open field experiments, finding that the drone can estimate a victim’s location within a few seconds of picking up sound.
Next, they would like to add a higher frequency microphone to a drone to acquire more audio sound signals. The idea is to pick up noises from hundreds of meters away, Varela said. In the real world, victim's location data might one day be sent wirelessly to emergency crews carrying a tablet.
12. What can the auditory system do?
A. Recognize human cries. B. Pick up sounds from far away.
C. Send victim’s location data to a tablet. D. Improve the quality of human screams.
13. What does the underlined word “signatures” in paragraph 4 refer to?
A. Effects. B. Symbols. C. Features. D. Situations.
14. What is the advantage of the human-seeking drone?
A. Its high speed of flying. B. Its long working hours.
C. Its quick response to screams. D. Its easy access to disaster scene.
15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. AI Enables Drones to Give Better Performance
B. Human-seeking Drones Replace Rescue Crews
C. Rescuers Use Drones to Locate Disaster Survivors
D. Engineers Teach Drones to Hunt Human Screams
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了一种通过探测人类的尖叫声来追踪目标的飞行器，以及这项技术在救援过程中是如何发挥作用的。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“That concept is the focus for engineers at German’s Fraunhofer FIE Institute, who’ve built a drone to find people by detecting (探测) human screams.(这一概念是德国弗劳恩霍夫五研究所中工程师们所关注的，他们建立了无人机，这种无人机可以通过探测人类的尖叫声而找到他们)”可知，这套听觉系统的功能是探测人类的尖叫声。故选A。
【13题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第四段“Then, they analyzed each sound frequency(然后，他们分析每个声音的频率)”以及“and used those to train artificial intelligence software.(并用这些来训练人工智能软件)”可知，研究人员通过分析声音的频率特点，然后与人类声音进行比对，最后使用机器对搜寻到的声音进行分析，最终帮助找到失踪人员。由此可知，划线单词是指“声音与声音的共同点”，即共同的特点。故选C。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“So far, they have conducted successful open field experiments, finding that the drone can estimate a victim’s location within a few seconds of picking up sound.(到目前为止，他们进行了成功的野外实验，发现无人机在捕捉到声音后几秒钟内就能估计出受害者的位置)”可知，无人机捕捉到声音后，几秒内就能估计出声音的位置，说明反应速度很快。故选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“That concept is the focus for engineers at German’s Fraunhofer FIE Institute, who’ve built a drone to find people by detecting (探测) human screams. (这一概念是德国弗劳恩霍夫五研究所中工程师们所关注的，他们建立了无人机，这种无人机可以通过探测人类的尖叫声而找到他们)”及下文对这种无人机的介绍可知，文章主要讲述了一种通过探测人类的尖叫声来追踪目标的飞行器。由此可知，Engineers Teach Drones to Hunt Human Screams(工程师教无人机捕捉人类的尖叫声)适合作本文最佳标题。故选D。

【答案】16. E 17. D 18. F 19. B 20. G
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了个人发展之所以重要的几个原因。
【16题详解】
根据文章第一句“Personal Development is not just a simple personality improvement plan, but also a process to improve your life.”可知，个人发展不仅仅是一个简单的人格提升计划，还是一个改善你生活的过程，下文的黑体字又介绍了个人发展重要的几个方面，此处需要一个承上启下的过渡句，既要指出个人发展很重要，又要引出下文介绍的几个方面，故E项（以下是个人发展之所以重要的原因）符合语境。
【17题详解】
根据本段小标题“Develop positive attitude”可知，本段主要讲的是要培养积极的态度，此处解释积极的态度（个性）对个人发展的好处，故D项（积极的个性有助于并激励你的内在自我）符合语境。
【18题详解】
根据本段小标题“Communicate effectively”（有效地沟通）可知，本段主要从沟通方面强调个人发展的重要性，空前“A person is shy if he/ she lacks an easy open communication.”指出如果一个人缺乏轻松开放的沟通，他/她就会害羞，此处与之对比，说的是性格外向的人能够轻松地沟通，故F项（然而，一个外向的人有能力轻松开放地沟通）符合语境。
【19题详解】
此处为本段小标题，根据下文“When one is confident about oneself, the confidence is well reflected in whatever we do. A finely created Personal Development Program is a booster dose to this self-confidence, thereby adding a greater value to inner strength.”（当一个人对自己有信心的时候，无论我们做什么都能体现出自信。一个精心创建的个人发展计划是自信心的助推器，从而增加了内在力量的更大价值）可知，本段主要是从内在的力量和信心强调个人发展的重要性，故B项（培养内在的力量和信心）符合语境。
【20题详解】
根据空前“Personal Development can help extract the vital traits out of a personality and add value to other needed traits.”可知，因此，个人发展可以帮助提取出重要的个性特征，并为其他需要的特征增加价值，此处承接上文，讲的还是个人发展对培养个性的好处，故G项（这也会增强你的个性，帮助你在生活中前进）符合语境。

【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一台上演的音乐会，该音乐剧的灵感源自于敦煌壁画《飞天》。
【36题详解】
考查固定短语。句意：由音乐家李盾与作曲家三宝即将推出的音乐剧《飞天》的主题音乐会于9月5日在上海首演。固定短语for the first time(首次)在句中作状语。故填for。
【37题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：音乐会收录了由作家关山、作曲家三宝为音乐剧创作的14首歌曲。分析句子结构可知，空格处引导限定性定语从句，指代先行词songs并在从句中作主语，应该使用关系代词that或者which。故填that或which。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：这部音乐剧以敦煌壁画文化宝库为灵感，讲述了一个看管壁画的守护者和一位学者远赴敦煌的故事。分析句子结构可知，inspire在句子中不是谓语动词，musical和inspire之间为被动关系，因此使用过去分词inspired作状语。故填Inspired。
【39题详解】
考查名词。句意：这部音乐剧以敦煌壁画文化宝库为灵感，讲述了一个看管壁画的守护者和一位学者远赴敦煌的故事。由不定冠词a 可知，此处应该使用distant的单数名词作over的宾语。故填distance。
【40题详解】
考查固定短语。句意：敦煌是丝绸之路上的宗教和文化的十字路口，拥有许多洞穴，里面收藏了大量描绘宗教故事和生活场景的壁画。固定短语a number of(大量的)。故填a。
【41题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意：李盾说他第一次参观敦煌石窟时被这些精美绝伦的壁画感动得热泪盈眶。Li Dun承受move的动作，即他被感动地流下了眼泪，且此事发生在过去，因此move使用一般过去时的被动语态。故填was moved。
【42题详解】
考查副词。句意：李盾说他第一次参观敦煌石窟时被这些精美绝伦的壁画感动得热泪盈眶。使用extreme的副词作状语，修饰形容词fine。故填extremely。
【43题详解】
考查形容词。句意：他希望以音乐剧的形式，向世界讲述一个关于敦煌惊人之美的故事。此处应该使用astonish的形容词作定语修饰beauty，astonishing和astonished都是astonish的形容词，astonishing意为“令人惊讶的”，常修饰物，astonished常形容人的感情，意为“惊讶的”，该句中表示“令人惊讶的美”。故填astonishing。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：这些女子在空中翩翩起舞，给人一种梦幻般的印象。分析句子结构可知，give在句子中不是谓语动词，these female spirits dance in the sky与give在逻辑上为主动关系，因此使用该词的现在分词作句子的状语。故填giving。
【45题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意：从晋代（265-420）到元末（1279-1368），古代宝物也是中华文化的象征。主语为treasures，且该句在介绍其当下的文化价值，为一般性的事实，因此应用一般现在时。故填are。

【详解】考查动词和语态。句意：最重要的农业节日是在农作物收割完毕后举行的。分析句子可知，“收割”是时间状语从句中谓语动词，可用动词短语gather (in)表示，与其主语the crops之间是被动关系，用过去分词与have been构成现在完成时被动语态。故填gathered。
53. A virtual choir ________ (使···能够) them to add their voices to those of other individuals and become part of the global community.（根据汉语提示单词拼写）

【答案】treatment
【解析】
