A

Duolingo — iOS/Android

Have you ever w anted to learn another foreign language? You might say: “English is hard enough. I don’t w ant to go through that again.”

第 2 页 共 10 页 命题人/审题人：涂鸣、陈侨、洪姗姗、黄芳、彭德河

Relax — learn ing a foreign languag e doesn’t alw ays mean you have to sit in class and take endless exams. An app named Duolingo has been designed to help you memorize new w ords and grammar in creative w ays, such as online lessons, games and interesting exercises.

Named “the best language-learning app” by The Wall Street Journal, Duolingo currently offers 30 languages, including English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Portuguese, Irish, Dutch, Danish, and Sw edish.

Headspace: Meditation & Sleep— iOS

With homew ork to finish tests to prepare, it can seem like you don’t have a moment to relax and gather your thoughts. What’s to be done?

Meditation（冥想）may help, and here’s an app to get you started. Headspace teaches you to face some of the toughest problems of everyday life. It has courses on w ork and productivity, personal grow th and how to deal w ith troubling emotions like anger and fear. There are also courses designed specifically for kids and students about dealing w ith distraction and homesickness.

And, if that isn’t enough, Headspace can help us w ith the biggest single cause of stress and anxiety : lack of sleep. The combination of the app’s calming voices and relax ing music w ill help you get a good night’s rest, ready to face the challenge of the next day w ith optimism and energy. Gentle Wakeup — Sleep & Alarm Clock with Sunrise — iOS/Android

Every device（仪器）has an alarm function these days. But w hat does this app have to offer? The makers of Gentle Wakeup believ e peop le can w ake up w ell. The key is that the app w akes w ith light rather than sound. It offers a better move out of sleep through a “Sunrise” — a light slow ly, gradually becomes brighter, just as the sun does. But the sunrise is only half of the w aking process: The light grows for 20 minutes before you are eased out of your sleep by the natural early morning sounds of birdsongs. The makers believe users of the app w ill never w ake up in the same w ay again: “Start getting aw ake by light and you w ill never w ant to w ake up by sounds again”.

Forest: Stay focused — iOS/Android

Though phones make life more convenient, many people feel that they are addictive. Forest is a clever intervent ion（干预）des igned to make peop le understand that there’s more to life than phones.

Here’s how it w orks: you plant a seed in the app and the longer you stay aw ay from the phone, the more it grows. From a seed, it becomes a tree and then a forest at last. The mak ers say, the “sense of responsibility and achievement w ill encourage you to stay aw ay from your phone and focus on w hat’s important in life”. And Forest has received some good review s from users, w ho say that’s exactly w hat it does: “It’s a phone game that gives you time rather than taking it aw ay.”

21. From the passage, w e can know that .

A. all the apps mentioned above are availab le to Andro id users B. Duolingo can help users through online lessons, games and tests C. Gentle Wakeup is designed to w ake people up using light alone D. if students miss their home, Headspace can help 22. If you are a user of Headspace, you can .

A. face some of the most difficult problems in your daily life B. learn courses helping children how to focus their attention

C. solve the problem of stress, anxiety and lack of sleep D. have a good sleep for the app’s calming vo ices and birdsongs 23. Forest users can help the trees to grow by A. keeping off their cellphones

B. running the app on a regular basis C. develop ing a sense of responsibility D. posting positive rev iew s of the app

US inv entor Thomas Alva Ed ison once said: “Gen ius is one percent inspiration and 99 percent perspiration.” He w as not exaggerating. Perspiration, indeed, plays a very important role in Ch inese scientist Tu Youyou’s success.

Tu w as given the Nobel Pr ize in Physio logy or Med icine in 2015 for discovering a new drug for malaria, a deadly d isease caused by the bite of some types of mosquito. She is the f irst Chinese citizen to w in a Nobel Prize in science. “It is the pride of the w hole Chinese science community, w hich w ill inspire more Chinese scientists,” China Daily noted.

Malaria is a disease that infects around 200 million peop le and k ills about half a million people each year, according to the Economist. Tu’s discovery has saved millions of lives, especially in the developing w orld. According to the World Health Organization, by 2013 malaria deaths had fallen by 47 percent compared w ith 2000.

But the road to this achievement w as a tough one to travel. In the late 1960s, during the “cultural revo lution ” (1966-1976), Tu joined a government project on w hich she began research on a new malaria drug.

In the beginning, Tu read a lot of old folk remedies（药方）, searched texts that w ere hundreds or thousands of years old and traveled to remote places.

Over several months, Tu and her team collected over 600 plants and created a list of almost 380 possible remed ies.

“This w as the most challeng ing stage of the project,” Tu told The Beijing New s. “It w as a very labor-demanding and dull job, in particular w hen you faced one failure after another.”

But the h ard w ork and the dullness failed to break the team’s spirit. In the follow ing months, she and her team tested the remedies on malar ia- infected mice and they found that an extract（提 取物）from the plant qinghao seemed to w ork w ell.

Not that the w ork w as easier after that. The fact that the extract didn’t alw ays w ork against malar ia discouraged some of her teammates. But Tu w as ambitious to make a contribution to the w orld and so she encouraged her teammates to keep going. They decided to start again from the beginn ing.

In 1971, they w ere rew arded for their efforts. After nearly 200 failures, Tu finally made an extract that w as 100 percent effective against malaria parasites. The extract w as called “Artem isin in”（青蒿素）.

Thanks to decades of hard w ork, Tu and her team had “provided humankind w ith pow erful new means to combat these diseases that affect hundreds of millions of people every year,” said the Nobel Prize Comm ittee. “It has greatly improved human health and reduced suffering.” 24. What can w e learn from the passage?

A. Tu Youyou is the first Chinese citizen to w in a Nobel Prize. B. Compared w ith 2000, malaria deaths had fallen to 53% in 2013.

For thousands of years, people have know n that the best w ay to understand a concept is to explain it to someone else. “While w e teach, w e learn,” said Roman philosopher Seneca. Now scientists are bringing this ancient w isdom up to date. They’re documenting w hy teaching is such a fruitful w ay to learn, and designing creative w ays for young people to take part in instruction.

Researchers have found that students w ho sign up to tutor others w ork harder to understand the material, recall it more accurately and apply it more effectively. Student teachers score higher on tests than pupils w ho’re learning on ly for their ow n sake. But how can children, still learn ing themselves, teach others? One answ er: They can tutor younger kids. Some studies have found that first-born children are more intelligent than their later-born siblings（兄弟姐妹）. This suggests their high er IQs result from the time they spend teaching their siblings. Now educators are experiment ing w ith w ays to apply this model to academic subjects. They arrange college undergraduates to teach computer science to high school students, w ho in turn instruct middle school students on the topic.

But the most cutting-edge tool under development is the “teachable agent” — a computerized character w ho learns, tries, makes mistakes and asks questions just lik e a real-w orld pupil. Computer scientists have created an animated（动画的）figure called Betty’s Brain, w ho has been “taught” about environmental science by hundreds of middle school students. Student teachers are inspired to help Betty master certain materials. While preparing to teach, they organize their know ledge and improve their ow n understanding. And as they explain the information to it, they ident ify problems in their ow n thinking.

Feedback from the teachable agents further improves the tutors’ learning. The agents’ questions forces student tutors to think and explain the materials in different w ays, and w atching the agent solve problems allow s them to see their know ledge put into action.

Above all, it’s the emotions one experiences in teaching that improve learning. Student tutors feel upset w hen their teachable ag ents fail, but happy w hen these virtual pup ils succeed as they develop prid e and satisfaction from someone else’s accomplishment. 28. What do w e learn about Betty’s Brain ?

A. It is a character in a popular animation. B. It is a teaching tool under development. C. It is a cutting-edge app in digit al games. D. It is a tutor for computer science students. 29. How does teaching others benefit student tutors?

A. It makes them aw are of w hat they are strong at. B. It motivates them to try new w ays of teaching.

C. It helps them learn their academic subjects better. D. It enables them to better understand their teachers. 30. What do students do to teach their teachable agents? A. They motivate them to think independent ly. B. They ask them to design their ow n questions.

C. They encourage them to give immed iate feedback.

D. They use various w ays to explain the materials to them. 31. What is the key factor that benefits student tutors’ learning?

A. Their sense of responsibility. B. Their emotional invo lvem ent.

C. The learning skills acquired. D. The teaching experience gained.

The fridge is considered necessary. It has been so since the 1960s w hen packaged food list appeared w ith the label: “Store in the refrigerator.”

In my fridgeless Fifties childhood, I w as fed w ell and h ealthy. The milkman came every day, the grocer, the butcher, the baker, and the ice-cream man delivered tw o or three times each w eek. The Sunday meat w ould last until Wednesday and the bread and milk left became all kinds of cakes. Nothing w as w asted, and w e w ere never troubled by rotten food. Thirty years on, food deliver ies have stopped, and fresh vegetables are almost impossible to get in the country.

The invention of the fridge contributed comparatively litt le to the art of food preservation. Many w ell-tried techniques already ex isted — natural cooling, drying, smoking, salt ing, sugaring, bottling...

What refrigeration did promote w as marketing — marketing hardw are and electricity, marketing soft drinks, marketing dead bodies of animals around the w orld in search of a good price.

Consequently, most of the w orld’s fridges are to be found, not in the tropics w here they might prove useful, but in the rich countries w ith mild temperatures w here they are climat ically almost unnecessary. Every w inter, millions of fridges hum (make a low continuous sound) aw ay continuously, and at vast expense, busily maintain ing an artif icially-cooled space inside an artificially-heat ed house — w hile outside, nature provides the desired temperature free of charge.

The fridge’s effect upon the environment has been clear, w hile its contribution to human happiness has been unimportant. If you don’t believ e me, try it yourself, invest in a food cupboard and turn off your fridge next w inter. You may miss the hamburgers, but at least you’ll get rid of that terrible hum.

32. The statement “In my fridgeless Fifties childhood, I w as fed w ell and health ily ” suggests that

A. the author w as w ell-fed and healthy even w ithout a fridge in his fifties. B. the author w as not accustomed to fridges even in his fifties. C. there w as no fridge in the author ’s home in the 1950s.

D. the fridge w as in its early stage of development in the 1950s. 33. Who benefited the least from fridges according to the author?

第 6 页 共 10 页 命题人/审题人：涂鸣、陈侨、洪姗姗、黄芳、彭德河

A. Inventors. B. Consumers. C. Producers. D. Travelling salesmen.

34. Which of the follow ing phrases in the fifth paragraph suggest the fridge’s negative effect on

the environment?

A. “Hum aw ay continuously”. B. “Climat ically almost unnecessary”. C. “Artif icially-cooled space”. D. “With mild temperatures”. 35. What is the author ’s overall attitud e tow ard fridges?

A. Neutral. B. Crit ical. C. Objective. D. Positive.

The dream of many people is to leave their mark on the w orld how ever they can. This could be in countless different 41 , from coming up w ith a new invention to 42 starting a family. No matter w hat it is, 43 the w orld in some w ay is the purpose of many lives.

That’s 44 makes the Renaissance – an art period w hich centered in Italy betw een the 14th and 17th centuries — the era of 45 . When w e hear the w ord “art”, it’s very likely that w e’ll imag ine a w ork from the Renaissance

period. This w as a time w hen many believe art made a revival（复兴）— “renaissance”, 46 , means to bring new life to something.

Take the w orks of Italian artist and inventor Leonardo da Vinci for example. His paint ing Mona Lisa became one of the best-know n 47 on Earth. While many artists left their marks by bringing 48 to the w orld, Da Vinci did much more than that. The artist w as fascinated w ith the study of human anatomy（解剖学）and even 49 time dissecting human bodies to help w ith his studies. Da Vinci also proved his 50 in many other areas, and he created sketches of ideas for many inventions, from bridges and machinery to even a helicopter and a robot.

The Renaissance also played host to many other great names in the w orld of art. Italian painter Raphael, for example, w as another leader of this era. But his most famous w ork isn’t 51 on a w all today. 52 , his masterpiece — the Raphael Rooms of Italy’s Palace of the Vatican — IS the w all. The w alls and ceilings of the palace are filled w ith beautifully 53 paint ings of Bib le scenes, w hich he started as a young artist in 1508.

Relig ious w orks such as Raphael’s w ere the 54 style of the Renaissance period. We only have to look at the most iconic （标志性的）sculpture of that period — and perhaps 55 — to realize that.

Italian artist Michelangelo’s sculpture David, 56 a Bib lical character, w as firstly show n in the 1500s. The sculpture has 57 years of exposure to the rain, having rocks throw n at it by protester（s 抗议者）, and even someone 58 it w ith a hammer in the 1990s. 59 all these, David is still standing strong and 60 today — a true symbol of the Renaissance. 41.
