I've spent two decades observing what makes people lucky and trying to help people increase their luck.I teach entrepreneurship (创业学).We know many new enterprises fail,and innovators (创业者)need luck.
With my students,I spend much time encouraging them to get out of their comfort zone and take some risks.I do this myself all the time.About a dozen years ago ,during a flight,I decided to take a little risk.I started a conversation with the man sitting next to me.I introduced myself,and I learned that he was a publisher.I learned all about the future of the publishing industry and we exchanged contact (联系)information.So about three quarters through the flight,I decided to take another risk.I showed him a book plan I was doing in my class.Although he was very polite,he said it wasn't right for them.
A couple of months later,I told him I was doing a project on transforming the book,the future of publishing and invited him to come to my class.So he gladly came to my class.We had a great experience.A few months later,I wrote to him again,sending a bunch of video clips (剪辑)from another project my students had made.He was so stricken by one of them that he thought there was a book in it.I was a little bit hurt,but it was all right.So I invited him and his colleagues to have lunch together.Later,one of his editors asked me if I had considered writing a book.And I pulled out the exact same plan I had showed his boss a year earlier.Within two years,my book had sold over a million copies.
4. We can infer from the author's experience on the plane that ______ .
A. the publisher was stricken by his book
B. that was his experience by plane

For a lot of people,age-related cognitive decline(认知衰退)follows"gradually,and then suddenly".At first,the loss of mental sharpness is difficult to detect.But one day you may find that your memory and other mental muscles have grown noticeably,frustratingly weak.
Research has found cognitive decline may begin as early as your 20s.Typically,a person peaks out around their 30th birthday," says Michael Merzenich,a former director of the Keck Center for Integrative Neuroscience at the University of California.Each decade thereafter,the average person's mental sharpness steadily drops off.
The brain's toolset usually grows rusty(生锈的)as a result of disuse - not because of unpreventable degradation but due to taking your brain offline. "Offline" refers to autopilot activities,"This means doing the same things - relying on the abilities or skills you acquired at a younger age," he explains.During the first few decades of your life,this sort of cognitive coasting isn't really possible.But once you've settled into adulthood - into a set of routines - your day-to-day life may not ask much of your brain's executive(决策的) functions,which are the high-level operations helping you solve complex problems.The older you get,the more difficult for you to change your habitual routine.
Fortunately,constantly engaging your brain's learning machinery with skills or activities that are new makes it possible to prevent age-related cognitive decline.
More of Merzenich's research has shown that "targeted" brain training can help people strengthen their memories,concentration,and high-level processing capabilities.Even among people with mild brain injury,cognitive damage is often reversible with proper training.He recommends adopting a new hobby - something that forces you to learn a new set of skills. "The goal is to expand your understanding in a new way,"he says.
Like your body,your brain requires exercise to stay healthy.Challenging it with new hobbies and learning opportunities may be the best way to maintain its fitness.
8. What can we learn about cognitive decline? ______
A. It is difficult to detect. B. It processes gradually.
C. It can be prevented. D. It occurs in one's thirties.
9. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? ______
A. The meaning of"offline".
B. The features of mental sharpness.
C. The reasons for cognitive decline.
D. The process of brains growing rusty.
10. What does underlined word "reversible" in paragraph5 probably mean? ______
A. Believable. B. Lasting. C. Predictable. D. Curable.
11. What does Merzenich seem to advocate? ______
A. Keeping our habitual routine.
B. Training our brain to keep it healthy.
C. Detecting mental sharpness regularly.
D. Adopting as many hobbies as we can.
D
By the year 2050,Earth's population is expected to reach nearly 10 billion people.With this growth comes a surprising demand for food resources.To find an effective way to deal with the global food safety crisis,Enter X,Alphabet Inc launched Project Mineral,which focuses on "computational agriculture",a term to describe new technologies that will further increase understanding about the plant world.
Can a machine be taught to understand the plant world?After years of work,Project Mineral leader Elliot Grant and his team's latest prototype(原型)-a plant-scanning robot-will turn up at the Smithsonian's "Futures" exhibition later this year.The four-wheeled plant robot,about as tall as a shipping container and as wide as a car,uses different cameras and other technologies to monitor and find possible problems with plants.
As it rolls through the farmland,it can identify weeds,and measure the ripeness of fruits.The Mineral robot can become taller to take pictures of wheat plants,or widen to scan a broad bed of crops.What's more,when the robot meets with different situations out in the field,it can accurately identify specific crops,traits or diseases.
Mineral has partnered with a farmer in the Philippines who is helping the team study diseases in bananas.Images of diseased bananas will be used to teach the robot how to detect diseases.
The robot also takes pictures of flowers and then employs the machine learning model to count a plant's flowering speed,which is crucial to understand how a plant responds to its environment and predict the yields.Besides,the robot can measure all kinds of leaf sizes and detect greenness.
Though the robot has come a long way from its origin,it's still a prototype.Mineral stresses that they're constantly improving and working closely with experts in the agricultural field to understand plants further.
12. Which of the following is a characteristic of the Mineral robot? ______
A. It powers itself. B. It moves with legs.
C. It looks like a ship. D. It can adjust itself.
13. What is the function of the Mineral robot? ______
A. Growing plants on its own. B. Helping fight insects.
C. Detecting crop diseases. D. Removing bad fruits.
14. How does the Mineral robot predict crop yields? ______
A. By observing the ripeness of fruits.
B. By calculating how fast plants flower.
C. By analyzing the shape of plants' leaves.
D. By analyzing images of diseased plants.
15. What is the text mainly about? ______
A. An attempt in solving the population problems.
B. Improvement of a plant-scanning robot.
C. Project Mineral-a fight against food safety crisis.
D. Effective solutions to deal with crop diseases.

It was a sunny summer morning,the breeze blowing gently.As planned,Jackson took a trip into the remote wilds near Olom Village,in the Sakha Republic,Russia.His four-year-old daughter,Karina,found him leaving and wanted to follow him to give her dad a surprise.She slipped out of the house,with nobody realizing it,even Jackson.
Unfortunately,she walked too slowly on her way and soon she was lost in the vast,dangerous Siberian wilderness.Luckily for her,her dog,Naida,followed Karina just as the girl followed her father.The two suddenly found themselves walking with no one in sight,drifting away from their home as the hours went by.
Night fell.Karina's father returned home,and it didn't take long after that for the whole family to realize what had happened.They couldn't find Karina anywhere.They turned to the police for help immediately.And they took action at once in search of the lost girl.
A whole week had gone by and there was no progress of the rescue in sight.The whole family was stuck in desperation,but Karina's mum never lost hope. "Many stopped believing that she was alive,but as a mother I felt that she would be found soon."
In fact,Karina did survive.Although Siberia is an extremely dangerous place even for otherwise fit adults due to its wildlife and climate,she made it.She survived by eating wild fruits and drinking water from nearby rivers,and she faced the freezing nighttime temperatures by cozying up in a bed of grass.Naida did its best too,scaring away the wild animals and keeping each other warm by sleeping close together at night.
After nine days struggling to survive,scared and alone,Karina could only be grateful about one thing:her good friend was by her side.Naida gave its strength,and actively helped the four-year-old to stay alive for that long.
This morning,Naida suddenly walked away and headed back into town,ignoring Karina's hopeless cry and leaving her completely alone.__________
Naida did what it could to lead the rescue team to where Karina was.__________

(3)D.标题归纳题.根据文章的主要内容,尤其是一段的"I've spent two decades observing what makes people lucky and trying to help people increase their luck.I teach entrepreneurship (创业学).We know many new enterprises fail,and innovators (创业者)need luck我花了二十年的时间观察什么能让人幸运,并试图帮助人们增加运气.我教创业.我们知道许多新企业失败了,创新者需要运气."再根据第二段"With my students,I spend much time encouraging them to get out of their comfort zone and take some risks.I do this myself all the time.和我的学生们在一起,我花了很多时间鼓励他们走出自己的舒适区,去冒险,我一直都是自己做的."可知,本文主要讲述作者近二十年一直在研究使得 人们幸运的是什么,并且帮助他人增加幸运的机会.作者一直鼓励学生走出舒适区并做出一些冒险,而作者本人也一直坚持这样做.所以"D.Luck and Risk(运气和冒险)"可以作为本文标题.故选D.
(4)B.推理判断题.根据第二段的"About a dozen years ago ,during a flight,I decided to take a little risk.大约十几年前,在一次飞行中,我决定冒点险. "及第二段的"So about three quarters through the flight,I decided to take another risk.所以在飞行的四分之三左右,我决定再冒一次险."和第三段的"A few months later,I wrote to him again,sending a bunch of video clips (剪辑)from another project my students had made.He was so stricken by one of them that he thought there was a book in it.几个月后,我又写信给他,从我的学生们做的另一个项目中发了一堆视频片段,他被其中一个项目弄得心烦意乱,以为里面有本书."可知出版商拒绝之后,作者一直没有放弃,冒着拒绝的风险提升幸运的机会,最终成功的出版了这本书.由此推测,作者认为是一些小的冒险让他成功了.故选B.
这是一篇人生感悟类阅读.本文主要讲述作者近二十年一直在研究使得 人们幸运的是什么,并且帮助他人增加幸运的机会.作者一直鼓励学生走出舒适区并做出一些冒险,而作者本人也一直坚持这样做.
做这类题材阅读理解时要求考生对文章通读一遍,做题时结合原文和题目有针对性的找出相关语句进行仔细分析,结合选项选出正确答案.推理判断题也是要在抓住关键句子的基础上合理的分析才能得出正确答案,切忌胡乱猜测,一定要做到有理有据.

(AQ是逆境商数的缩写,用来衡量我们处理人生跌宕起伏的能力。它衡量的是当生活给我们出难题时,我们抵抗冲击的能力——我们在这些情况下崩溃或茁壮成长的可能性有多大。)可知,设空处为本段最后一句,应承接上文继续说明AQ的作用。G项"它可以用来预测我们的态度、毅力、寿命,以及我们从环境变化中学习的方式。",句中的It指代上文的AQ,此处说明AQ的用途,上下文衔接连贯顺畅。故选G项。
(3)联系上文题。根据上文Adverse situations can take us by surprise and shock us.In the workplace,it could be in the form of layoff,the company we work for going under or being restructured,or even missing out on a promotion.Failed friendships and relationships,financial hard times and even loss of beloved ones are things that can occur outside of work. (逆境会让我们措手不及。在职场中,其形式可能是裁员,我们工作的公司倒闭或重组,甚至是错过升职机会。友谊和关系的失败,经济困难时期,甚至丧亲之痛都可能发生在工作之外。)可知,上文列举了一些困难时期,故设空处应说明如何应对这些时期,F项"能够处理这些艰难时刻不仅对我们的个人生活很重要,对我们的职业生活也很重要。"其中these rough times对应上文中hard times,上下文语意一致,衔接连贯。故选F项。
(4)段落主题题。根据下文Resilient people often have an aim and are able to concentrate more on a desired outcome,seeing negative situations as a bump in the road on the way to achieving their goal. (适应性强的人通常有一个目标,能够更专注于想要的结果,把消极的情况视为实现目标路上的绊脚石。)可知,后文提到了要有目标,A项"首先,试着找到一个有意义的目标。"选项中goal对应后文中aim。下文Learning to relax and regulate your emotions is another key step — one way to help is to practise breathing exercises. (学会放松和调节你的情绪是另一个关键的步骤---其中一个帮助的方法是练习呼吸练习。)A项的First与下文another key step呼应,此段陈述了一些可以帮助你在逆境中更有弹性和适应性的步骤,上下文衔接连贯顺畅,故选A项。
(5)推理判断题。根据本段第一句"First,try and find a meaningful goal.(首先,试着找到一个有意义的目标。)此处为帮助你在逆境中更有弹性和适应性的第一个步骤,下文Being able to talk with someone about the challenges we face can help.(能够和别人谈论我们面临的挑战是有帮助的。)可知,后文提到和别人谈论面临的挑战,即寻求他人的支持;C项"最后,确保你有一个良好的社会支持网络。"其中的Finally,表明C项为帮助你在逆境中更有弹性和适应性的最后一个步骤,良好的社会支持网络可以在你面对挑战时找到可以倾诉的人,上下文衔接连贯顺畅,故选C项。
本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一些可以帮助你在逆境中更有弹性和适应性的方法。

36.【答案】【小题1】pursued
【小题2】appreciation
【小题3】which
【小题4】making
【小题5】were created
【解析】(1)pursued.考查过去分词。句意:拥有6000多年的历史,中国画,最初被富人追求,大约在公元前221年的东晋时期发展起来。分析句子可知,"originally (1) ( pursue) by wealthy people"作定语,修饰Chinese painting,pursue与Chinese painting是被动关系,用过去分词作定语,故填pursued。
(2)appreciation.考查不可数名词。句意:后来,在公元581年左右,随着越来越多的人开始欣赏它的美丽,它开始流行起来。分析句子可知,动词后接名词作宾语,appreciation"感激"是不可数名词,故填appreciation。
(3)which.考查定语从句。句意:中国的画笔主要由山羊、狼、狐毛制作,适合制作既柔软又细的画笔。分析句子可知,空格处引导定语从句,指代整个主句,从句中作主语,用关系代词which,故填which。
(4)making.考查现在分词。句意:油漆工润湿墨水石,然后在石头上研磨墨水棒,使墨水运行,以便它可以用于绘画。分析句子可知,句子的谓语动词是wets和grinds表示意料之中的结果,故make用非谓语动词形式作状语,make与主语The painter是主动关系,用现在分词作状语,表示理所应当的结果,故填making。
(5)were created.考查动词时态、语态和主谓一致。句意:许多中国古代艺术品都是在丝绸上创作的。分析句子可知,creat是谓语动词,与主语artworks是被动关系,用被动语态,描述过去发生的事情用一般过去时,且主语artworks是复数,谓语动词用复数,故填were created。
(6)so.考查状语从句。句意:然而,丝绸是非常昂贵的,只有非常重要的绘画才会使用它。根据句意以及下文的that可知,此处用so…that…引导状语从句,so是副词,修饰形容词expensive作状语,故填so。
(7)cheaper.考查形容词比较级。句意:到了第一世纪,当早期的纸张被发明时,画画已经便宜很多。根据句意以及空前的a lot修饰形容词比较级可知,此处用形容词cheap的比较级作表语,become是系动词,故填cheaper。
(8)for.考查介词。句意:中国画以其独特的风格、鲜明的特色和独特的技法而享誉世界。根据句意,表示原因用介词for"为了",故填for。
(9)initially.考查副词。句意:当你看着一幅中国画时,你可能一开始并没有意识到它的复杂概念。修饰动词用副词作状语,故填initially。
(10)to be learned/to be learnt.考查不定式的被动式。句意:事实上,关于中国传统绘画及其元素,还有很多值得学习的地方。分析句子可知,remain是系动词,接不定式作表语,根据句意,主语much与谓语动词learn是被动关系,故用不定式的被动式,且learn的过去分词为learned或者learnt,故填to be learned/to be learnt。
本文是说明文。主要讲述了中国画的发展历史,以及中国享有的国际声誉,通过欣赏中国画,你将会更好地了解中国传统文化和中国人。
语法填空考查学生英语综合知识的运用,做题时要首先明确短文大意,从词语搭配,固定句型,语法,时态等方面综合考虑,结合上下文语境找出正确答案。
