Introduction to Life Is Simple
Life Is Simple is a book that has affected the course of science, and it tells us an important principle.
Price:£25. 00
Weight:600g
Dimension: 236 mm X 160 mm x 40 mm
Supply: Hardcover |384 pages
Description:
Life Is Simple tells a remarkable story of how a thirteenth century man’s search for simplicity led to the development of the modern world. The book begins with the hero at the Middle Ages, William Occam, who devoted himself to exploring philosophy, and first expressed clearly the principle that the best answer to any problem is the simplest. The famous theory from him cut through the bushes of the Middle Ages’ philosophy dealing with the nature of existence, truth and knowledge to clear a path for modern science.
We follow the theory in the hands of the giants of science, from Copernicus to Kepler, Galileo, Newton, Darwin, Einstein, Rubin and Higgs. Its success suggests that we live in the simplest possible habitable universe and supports the revolutionary theory that our universe has gradually formed. By highlighting the very human passion, curiosity, mistakes and struggles of those who were inspired by the theory to create the modern world, Johnjoe McFadden provides new understanding into what science is really about. And the principle of simplicity is as practical today as ever.

It wasn’t until I graduated from college that I subsequently realized that knowledge is so endless that I was able to learn for pleasure. A sense of curiosity, rather than perfectionism, guided me. I started to see dictionaries as field guides to the life of language. Looking up words encountered in the wild felt less like a failure and more like an admission that I still didn’t know lots of things and an opportunity to discover more.
I cherish my 1954 copy of Webster’s New International Dictionary given by my roommate. I often consult it during the evening games of Scrabble or midday magazine reading. I mostly read novels at night, in bed, so when I come across unfamiliar words, I fold the bottom of the page and then look them up word by word. When I start encountering these words, the language world seems to shrink to the size of a small town.
Wikipedia answers questions with more questions, opening up pages of information you never asked for. But a dictionary builds on common knowledge, using simple words to explain more complex ones. Using one feels as if I’m opening an oyster (牡蛎)with curiosity. Unknown words become mysteries, and solving them gives me satisfaction. Why always leave them up to guesswork? Why not consult a dictionary and feel the instant contentment of pairing context with a definition?
Dictionaries reward you for paying attention, both to the things you consume and to your own curiosity. They are an entrance into the kind of childish urge to just know things, which I had before learning became a duty instead of a game.
For most of you, dictionaries are a gateway into that kind of unconsidered knowledge-seeking. They remind you that, when it comes to learning, allowing your curiosity is just as important as paying attention. After all, isn’t curiosity really just another form of attention? Following your curiosity instead of pushing it away, consult your dictionary and feel connected to more than what’s right in front of you.
4. What does consulting dictionaries mean to the author?
A. A guide to shape his character.
B. A complete admission of failure.
C. A chance to explore the unknown.
D. A unique way of perfecting himself.
5. What does “cherish” underlined in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Lost. B. Prize.
C. Edit. D. Publish.
6. Why is Wikipedia mentioned in paragraph 3?
A To show advantages of dictionaries.
B. To indicate the importance of technology.
C. To introduce another powerful learning tool.
D. To prove the benefits of using the search engine.
7. What does the author try to do in the last paragraph?
A. Make an appeal.
B. Raise doubts.
C. Give a warning.
D. Express thanks.
【答案】4. C 5. B 6. C 7. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者通过自己的经历说明了使用词典的好处并号召读者去查阅词典。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“I started to see dictionaries as field guides to the life of language. Looking up words encountered in the wild felt less like a failure and more like an admission that I still didn’t know lots of things and an opportunity to discover more.(我开始把词典视为语言生活的实地指南。查阅“在野外”遇到的单词并不像失败，而更像是承认我仍然不知道很多东西，并有机会发现更多)”可知，查阅词典对作者来说是一个探索未知的机会。故选C项。
【5题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句“I cherish my 1954 copy of Webster’s New International Dictionary given by my roommate. I often consult it during the evening games of Scrabble or midday magazine reading.(我很cherish我室友送给我的那本1954年版的韦氏新国际词典。我经常在晚上玩拼字游戏或中午阅读杂志时查阅这本书)”中“often consult it”可知，作者经常使用韦氏新国际词典，由此推知，他会“珍视，珍爱”它，划线词与prize(珍视)意思相近。故选B项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Wikipedia answers questions with more questions, opening up pages of information you never asked for. But a dictionary builds on common knowledge, using simple words to explain more complex ones.(维基百科用更多的问题来回答问题，打开你从未问过的信息页面。但是词典建立在常识的基础上，用简单的词来解释更复杂的词)”可推知，第三段维基百科的目的是介绍另一种有用的学习工具字典。故选C项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“For most of you, dictionaries are a gateway into that kind of unconsidered knowledge-seeking. They remind you that, when it comes to learning, allowing your curiosity is just as important as paying attention. After all, isn’t curiosity really just another form of attention? Following your curiosity instead of pushing it away, consult your dictionary and feel connected to more than what’s right in front of you.(对你们大多数人来说，词典是进入那种不经思考的求知之门。他们提醒你，在学习方面，保持好奇心和集中注意力一样重要。毕竟，好奇心不就是注意力的另一种形式吗？跟着你的好奇心走，而不是把它推开，查阅你的词典，感受你与眼前事物以外的事物之间的联系)”可推知，作者在最后一段中发起呼吁，号召读者去查阅词典。故选A项。
C
Latin America’s first renewable fuel-powered, garbage-trapping wheel is cleaning one of Panama’s dirtiest rivers. It is powered by water and solar energy. It pulls waste out of the Juan Diaz River. Most of the waste comes from the capital area of Panama City where about 2 million people live. Thousands of kilograms of garbage flow down the river into the ocean each year.
As the leader of the project, Robert Getman said, “Cleaning beaches is good, but it is more effective and cheaper to trap garbage in rivers because when it reaches the ocean, the environmental and economic cost becomes too high.”
The Juan Diaz River is one of the most polluted in Panama. Waste systems in the area are poor, and land development is not well supervised (监督). The river also passes through Panama City, one of Central America’s largest cities. Still, the waterway and its mangrove trees are home to wildlife like turtles and birds. According to this situation, the environmental group Marea Verde launched the wheel in late September, which is named Wanda Diaz. By the middle of October, it had gathered 28. 6 cubic meters of plastic bottles from the water. Over five years, Marea Verde projects have slowed the spread of waste along the Juan Diaz River and other Panama’s rivers. Several years ago, the group launched its “Barrier or Trash” technology, a floating device. It captured more than 100 metric tons of waste in the Matias Hernandez River within two years.
The Baltimore Bay “Trashwheel” in the United States is the model for Marea Verde’s machine, Wanda Diaz. However, Wanda Diaz is more advanced and superior in terms of technology, and it even has cameras with artificial intelligence (AI) that can recognize and sort different plastics.
“We want each of us to raise awareness that we can prevent the death of the Juan Diaz River, ”said Marea Verde’s leader Sandy Watemberg. She expressed her hope that the wheel would also help many more other rivers. But she also pointed out that those who accustomed themselves to single-use plastics needed to rethink their behavior.
8. Which words best describe the garbage-trapping wheel?
A. Green and practical.
B. Effective but costly.
C. Powerful but energy-wasting.
D. Renewable and simple.
9. What is mainly talked about in paragraph 3?
A. Great damage to Panama City.
B. The importance of the Juan Diaz River.
C. Measures taken to battle wildlife killing.
D The background information of Marea Verde projects.
10. What can we learn about Wanda Diaz?
A. It has Al to break down plastics.
B. It is the model for “Trashwheel”.
C. It has AI cameras to remove plastics.
D. It is an updated version of “Trashwheel”.
11. What message does Sandy Watemberg seem to convey?
A. People should not use plastics anymore.
B. The death of the river is unpreventable.
C. Humans’ living habits matter in river protection.
D. River protection has received the attention of all.
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. D 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。巴拿马使用一种新型且环保的垃圾捕获轮WandaDiaz来帮助解决河道垃圾污染问题。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“It is powered by water and solar energy.(它由水和太阳能提供动力)”以及第二段“Cleaning beaches is good, but it is more effective and cheaper to trap garbage in rivers because when it reaches the ocean, the environmental and economic cost becomes too high(清洁海滩很好，但将垃圾困在河流中更有效、更便宜，因为当垃圾流入海洋时，环境和经济成本会变得太高)”可知，垃圾捕获轮是环保且实用的。故选A。
【9题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第三段“The Juan Diaz River is one of the most polluted in Panama. Waste systems in the area are poor, and land development is not well supervised(胡安迪亚兹河是巴拿马污染最严重的河流之一。该地区的废物处理系统很差，土地开发也没有得到很好的监督)”可知，本段主要介绍了这个项目的实施背景。故选D。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段“However, Wanda Diaz is more advanced and superior in terms of technology, and it even has cameras with artificial intelligence (AI) that can recognize and sort different plastics. (但Wanda Diaz在技术上更加先进和优越，它甚至有人工智能摄像头，可以识别和分类不同的塑料)”可推知，Wanda Diaz是“Trashwheel”的升级版。故选D。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“But she also pointed out that those who accustomed themselves to single-use plastics needed to rethink their behavior.(但她也指出，那些习惯使用一次性塑料制品人需要重新思考自己的行为)”可知，Sandy Watemberg认为保护河流的关键在于改变人们使用一次性塑料制品的生活习惯。故选C。
D
Eating ultra-processed (超加工的) foods for more than 20％ of your daily calorie intake every day can set you on the road to cognitive (认知的) decline, according to a new study. Previous studies have found they can raise the risk of having obesity, heart and circulation problems, diabetes and cancer. They may even shorten our lives. Now, the new study has revealed eating more ultra-processed foods may contribute to overall cognitive decline, including the areas of the brain involved in executive (决策的) functioning — the ability to process information and make decisions.
In fact, men and women who ate the most ultra-processed foods had a 28% faster rate of global cognitive decline and a 25% faster rate of executive function decline compared with people who ate the least amount of overly processed food, the new study found. “While in need of further study and replication, the new results are quite convincing and emphasize the critical role for proper nutrition in preserving and promoting brain health and reducing risk for brain diseases as we get older, ” said Tanzi, a Professor of Neurology at Harvard Medical School. He was not involved in the study.
The study, presented on August 1 at the 2022 Alzheimer’s Association International Conference in San Diego, followed over 10, 000 Brazilians whose average age was 51 for up to 10 years. Just over half of the study participants were women.
Cognitive testing, which included immediate and delayed word recall, word recognition and verbal fluency were performed at the beginning and end of the study, and the participants were inquired about their diet. “In Brazil, ultra-processed foods make up 25% to 30% of the total calorie intake. We eat a lot of hamburgers, chocolate and white bread. It’s not very different, unfortunately, from many other western countries,” said co-author Dr. Claudia Suemoto, an assistant professor.
Ultra-processed foods are defined as “industrial formulations of food substances (oils, fats, sugars, starch, and protein isolates) that contain little or no whole foods and typically include flavorings, colorings and other chemical additives”, according to the study.
12. What is Tanzi’s attitude towards the new study?
A. Objective. B. Doubtful.
C. Ambiguous. D. Disapproving.
13. What can we know about the new study?
A. Its participants were over 50 years old.
B. It followed the participants for a period of time.
C. It proved men had a faster rate of cognitive decline than women.
D. It first found ultra-processed foods could raise the risk of obesity.
14. What were the participants asked to do in the study?
A. Eat their favorite foods.
B. Introduce their daily routine.
C. Enhance their verbal fluency.
D. Take a series of cognitive tests.
15. Which is the most suitable title for the text?
A. The substances of ultra-processed foods
B. The appropriate intake of ultra-processed foods
C. Cognitive decline linked to ultra-processed foods
D. Ultra-processed foods causing executive functioning loss
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项新的研究表明每天摄入过多超加工食品会使人的认知能力下降。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中Tanzi的话“While in need of further study and replication, the new results are quite convincing and emphasize the critical role for proper nutrition in preserving and promoting brain health and reducing risk for brain diseases as we get older,(虽然还需要进一步的研究和复制，但新的结果相当有说服力，它并突显了适当的营养在保护和促进大脑健康以及随着年龄的增长降低大脑疾病风险方面的关键作用)”可知，Tanzi认为这项新研究有说服力，但还需要进一步进行研究和复制，说明他持客观的态度。故选A项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“The study, presented on August 1 at the 2022 Alzheimer’s Association International Conference in San Diego, followed over 10, 000 Brazilians whose average age was 51 for up to 10 years.(这项研究于8月1日在圣地亚哥举行的2022年阿尔茨海默氏症协会国际会议上公布，对1万多名平均年龄为51岁的巴西人进行了长达10年的跟踪调查)”可知，这项研究对参与者进行了一段时间的跟踪调查。故选B项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“Cognitive testing, which included immediate and delayed word recall, word recognition and verbal fluency were performed at the beginning and end of the study, and the participants were inquired about their diet.(在研究开始和结束时进行了认知测试，包括立即和延迟单词回忆、单词识别和语言流利性，并询问了参与者的饮食)”可知，研究中要求参与者做一系列的认知测试。故选D项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，并结合文章第一段中“Eating ultra-processed (超加工的) foods for more than 20％ of your daily calorie intake every day can set you on the road to cognitive (认知的) decline, according to a new study.(一项新的研究表明，每天摄入超加工食品的热量占你每日卡路里摄入量的20%以上，会使你的认知能力下降)”可知，本文主要介绍了一项新的研究，该研究表明每天摄入过多超加工食品会使人的认知能力下降，全文都围绕这一主题展开，所以C项“Cognitive decline linked to ultra-processed foods(超加工食品导致认知能力下降)”直接点题，是文章最佳标题。故选C项。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了瑜伽的作用和如何选择适合自己的瑜伽类型。
【16题详解】
上文“Yoga has a well-deserved reputation for helping improve balance and flexibility and for inducing calm and relaxation.(瑜伽在帮助改善平衡和灵活性、诱导平静和放松方面享有实至名归的声誉)”介绍了瑜伽的好处，但下文“While you might not burn as many calories by practicing yoga as you would by running or doing some other high-intensity activities (虽然练瑜伽燃烧的卡路里可能不如跑步或其他高强度运动消耗的卡路里多)”指出瑜伽这项运动的不足，上下文语意之间有转折关系。G项“But as for weight loss, many people assume other types of exercise will benefit more. (但说到减肥，很多人认为其他类型的运动更有益)”起到承上启下的作用，与上文构成转折关系，引出下文瑜伽与其它运动的比对，句中“other types of exercise”即下文中“ running or doing some other high-intensity activities”。上下文语意连贯。故选G项。
【17题详解】
下文“Yoga has an impact on the body’s stress response and reduces the production of chemicals linked to weight gain, such as cortisol (皮质醇), a stress hormone.(瑜伽对身体的压力反应有影响，并减少与体重增加有关的化学物质的产生，如皮质醇，一种压力激素)”介绍瑜伽可以减少与体重增加有关的化学物质皮质醇，C项“Studies show that high levels of cortisol can lead to an increase in fat. (研究表明高水平的皮质醇会导致脂肪的增加)”说明了皮质醇与体重增加的关系，两个句子话题一致，且照应小标题中的主题“reduce pounds”。故选C项。
【18题详解】
下文“Participants involved in yoga practice realize that they tend to notice not only the amount of food they eat, but also what type of foods they eat and the impact of eating those foods. They become aware of the effect of certain foods on their bodies during their yoga practice.(参与瑜伽练习的人意识到，他们往往不仅注意他们吃了多少食物，而且还注意他们吃了什么类型的食物以及吃这些食物的影响。他们在瑜伽练习中意识到某些食物对他们身体的影响)”说明瑜伽会帮助瑜伽练习者留意到自己的饮食习惯和相关行为模式，进而帮助他们作出调整与改变，E项“Yoga helps break old dietary habits and related unconscious patterns of behavior.(瑜伽有助于打破旧的饮食习惯和相关的无意识行为模式)”是下文内容概括。故选E项。
【19题详解】
设空处是段首小标题，根据下文“Doing yoga long term not only can help people lose weight but also can strengthen cognitive skills to help keep it off. A multiyear study examines the possibility of yoga maintaining weight loss. Its findings suggest that yoga may help to improve long-term weight loss outcomes via improvements in distress tolerance, self-compassion and a more positive mood.(长期做瑜伽不仅可以帮助人们减肥，还可以增强认知能力，帮助人们保持体重。一项多年的研究调查了瑜伽保持减肥的可能性。研究结果表明，瑜伽可以通过提高对痛苦的耐受力、自我同情和更积极的情绪来帮助改善长期的减肥效果)”可知，本段主要讲瑜伽不但能帮助人们减肥，还能保持减肥效果。A项“Make weight loss last.(让减肥持续下去)”是最佳标题。故选A项。
【20题详解】
上文“Yoga is a very reasonable form of exercise, but you have to choose the right type.(瑜伽是一种非常合理的运动形式，但你必须选择正确的类型)”提出练习瑜伽要选择类型，F项“Actually, the best yoga is the practice that fits for you — the one you’ll commit to.(事实上，最好的瑜伽是适合你的练习，是你愿意坚持的练习)”给出选择的标准：适合你的练习，你愿意坚持的练习，上下文语意连贯。故选F项。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了故宫古建筑群和对它的旅游开发。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：紫禁城，在现代也被称为故宫博物院，位于北京的中心。“(refer) to as the Palace Museum in the modern days”作后置定语修饰名词The Forbidden City，refer是非谓语动词，与其逻辑主语The Forbidden City之间是被动关系，应用过去分词表被动。故填referred。
【37题详解】
考查形容词。句意：这是一个有600多年历史的古建筑群。提示词修饰名词complex，应用形容词architectural作定语，意为“建筑风格的”。故填architectural。
【38题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：三个主殿——太和殿、中和殿和保和殿构成了紫禁城的中心线，它的两侧是70多座宫殿，有9000多个房间。分析句子可知，空格处为非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词the Forbidden City’s central line，关系词代替先行词在定语从句中作主语，应使用关系副词which引导该从句。故填which。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：这些建筑都覆盖着金色的屋顶，下面有红色的柱子和高墙，象征着皇室的高贵地位。“(symbolize) the noble status of the royal family”作伴随状语，symbolize是非谓语动词，与其逻辑主语The buildings之间是主动关系，应用现在分词表主动和伴随。故填symbolizing。
【40题详解】
考查代词。句意：除了其宏伟的外观，故宫博物院还藏有超过100万件文物和珍宝。提示词修饰名词appearance，应用形容词性物主代词its作定语。故填its。
【41题详解】
考查冠词。句意：近年来，故宫已经成为明星，推出了数千种文化艺术产品。可数名词celebrity在句中表示“一个明星”，泛指，空格后单词Internet发音以元音音素开头，用不定冠词an修饰。故填an。
【42题详解】
考查名词。句意：这些产品将传统帝王元素与现代科技相结合，深受消费者喜爱。根据句意，产品是受到很多消费者的喜爱，“消费者”是复数概念，用复数形式consumers，作宾语。故填consumers。
【43题详解】
考查动词时态语态和主谓一致。句意：到目前为止，一个“数字故宫”已经创建。分析句子可知，create(创建)是句中谓语动词，与主语a “Digital Forbidden City”之间是被动关系，句中有时间状语Up to now，应使用现在完成时态，又因主语是单数名词，所以谓语动词也应使用单数形式。综上，谓语应用现在完成时的被动语态，单数形式。故填has been created。
【44题详解】
考查介词。句意：无论是在现场还是在网上，参观故宫都能让你穿越时空，真正领略悠久的中华文化。visit to...是固定搭配，介词短语作后置定语，其中介词to表示“到某处”。故填to。
【45题详解】

第二节(满分25分)
47. 阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Bruce had a sweet tooth during his childhood, but it was not just sugary snacks that he desired. Being raised in a poor family was a bittersweet experience, but it gave him adaptability and ambition.
When Bruce was young, his mother would tell him that the candies in the store’s checkout line belonged to the cashier. She said that because she could not afford a 50-cent chocolate bar. Nevertheless, he saw through her trick and made a promise that he would grow up to be wealthy enough to buy what his family needed.
Bruce’s father worked hard to make money outside, so he spent less time at home. Instead of focusing on their economic instability, Bruce’s mother selflessly pushed her children to strive for success so that they could lead a more comfortable life later. She worked for long hours every night and struggled to pay the minimum due on her bills. Still, she would find time to read with Bruce and his sister, Alice. Their mother taught them the value of perseverance, education, and moral fibre. Despite lack of their father’s company, they were loved and nurtured just as much.
However, not all of life’s milestones were easy. Some, like moving and being helpless, left Bruce with an endless bitter taste. He had to deal with many problems when they moved into Maryland, several states away from their roots in Georgia, to make a living. The first few months were great: baseball games, family trips to the mall, dinners, movies, etc. It felt like they were the perfect family. Then things changed. Baseball games were too expensive, and trips to the mall were replaced with days Bruce and Alice spent isolated in the study.
As the brother and sister grew up, money was even tighter. They spent many years living in a very poor family setting. Even so, their mother inspired them to keep trying and working academically. They even cooperated with each other and developed a computer system. Alice was joking about patenting it someday. But as the saying goes, “Good things never come easy”, and success requires setbacks.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
One day, Bruce’s mother opened their study door and told them to pack.

They eventually settled in Texas, and Bruce and Alice continued their academic efforts.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One day, Bruce’s mother opened their study door and told them to pack. They were leaving and not coming back. At that time, Bruce heard Alice sobbing in the study. After loading their belongings into the car, they began to drive along to the next place for a living. Bruce looked out of the window with tears running down his cheeks, watching the people coming and going. Their careers were taking off, but they were leaving again. Actually, life kept them on the move. Their parents felt very guilty for not giving their children a stable home.
They eventually settled in Texas, and Bruce and Alice continued their academic efforts. With the encouragement of their mother, they remained dedicated to their wise pursuits and treasured opportunities to satisfy their hunger for knowledge. Finally, their cause was a success. When Bruce faced some dark chocolate close at hand, his mind kept turning in an endless loop. He said to Alice, “Tough circumstances have allowed us to have more life and learning experiences and made us who we are. Success, like candy, could be the sweetest treat of all.” Alice nodded, and she also felt it the greatest joy to help any poor kid with a sweet tooth to gain their favorite candy.
