(2019·广东省六校联盟第三次联考)NEW YORK—A massive winter storm paralyzed much of the US East Coast on Thursday and Friday,dumping as much as 46 centimeters of snow from the Carolinas to Maine.It also caused flooding on the streets of Boston due to swelling storm tides,forced the cancellation of nearly 5,000 flights and closed businesses,offices and schools.
Some meteorologists (气象学家) classified the storm as a “bomb cyclone” for its sharp drop in atmospheric pressure would be followed immediately by a blast of cold air that could break records in more than two dozen cities and bring wind chills as low as -40°C during the weekend.
From Baltimore,Maryland,to Caribou in Maine,efforts were underway to clear roadways of ice and snow as wind chill temperatures were to plunge during the day,reaching -40°C in some parts after sundown,according to the National Weather Service.
Utility companies across the East worked to repair downed power lines early on Friday as about 21,000 customers remained without electricity,down from almost 80,000 the day before,and issued warnings that temperatures may become dangerously low.
“If the temperature in your home begins to fall,we recommend taking shelter elsewhere until service can be restored.You can find warming centers by contacting local authorities,” National Grid power company,which serves Massachusetts,said on Twitter.
16
Airlines canceled 4,000 flights on Thursday and hundreds more on Friday,according to FlightAware.com,an online tracking service.
Mayor Bill de Blasio said it could feel like -30°C on Friday and Saturday nights with the wind chill.“This is a serious,serious storm,and may be the most severe in 2018,” he said at a news conference.
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo declared a state of emergency for the southern part of the state,while New Jersey Governor Chris Christie declared a state of emergency for several counties.

(2019·石家庄市毕业班教学质量检测)Most dog owners are convinced that their fourlegged friends know exactly what they mean when they use certain words like “sit”,“stay”or “treat”.However,researchers have always wondered whether dogs really understand human speech or if they rely on other information to get the meaning. For example,does the word “fetch” form a picture of a stick or ball in the dog's mind,or does the dog bring back the object based on the owner's voice or gesture? A new study by scientists at Atlanta's Emory University seems to indicate that “man's best friend” does indeed know what the owner is saying.
The researchers began by asking the owners of twelve dogs of various kinds to train their pets to identify two toys of different materials,such as a toy animal and a ball.Once the dogs had mastered the task,they took turns inside a special scanner.The owners then tested their dog's language skill by first calling out the names of the toys they had been trained to recognize and then saying meaningless words such as“bobbu” and“bodmick” while holding up random objects the dogs hadn't seen before.
The scans suggested that the parts of the dogs' brains responsible for processing sounds showed different brain patterns when they heard words they were familiar with,compared with the ones they had never heard before.While that was not enough to prove that the dogs were picturing their toys when they heard the word,it did indicate
16
some sort of recognition.The researchers believe this is an important step in understanding how dogs process language.
Something even more interesting was that the dog's brains showed a higher level of neural (神经的) activity at the sound of unknown words.This is the exact opposite of what happens in human brains,which get more active at the sound of familiar words.The researchers say the dogs may become cheerful at the sound of new words to try to understand them in the hope of delighting their masters.“Dogs want to please their owners,and perhaps also want to receive praise or food,” says Emory neuroscientist Gregory Berns,senior author of the study.
However,though your pet may understand human speech,the scientists recommend using visual signals and smell for training.“When people want to teach their dog a trick,they often use spoken commands because that's what we humans prefer,” Prichard says.“From the dog's view,however,a visual command might be more effective,helping the dog learn the trick faster.”
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。一项新的研究表明,狗的确能理解主人说的话。
5.What's the purpose of the new study?
A.To convince dog owners to understand their dogs.
B.To advise dog owners to treat their dogs kindly.
C.To prove dogs follow owners' order by listening.
D.To test out how dogs get information from owners.
D [细节理解题。根据第一段尾句“A new study by scientists at Atlanta's Emory University seems to indicate that “man's best friend” does indeed know what the owner is saying”可知,亚特兰大的埃默里大学的科学家进行的一项新研究似乎表明,“人类最好的朋友”确实知道主人在说什么,并结合全文可知,该研究的目的是测试狗是如何理解主人的话的,故D项正确。]
6.What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 2?
A.Inform the result of the research.
B.State the process of the research.
C.Stress the importance of the research.
D.Introduce the subjects of the research.
B [写作意图题。根据第二段第一句“The researchers began by asking the owners of twelve dogs of various kinds to train their pets to identify two toys of different materials,such as a toy animal and a
16
ball”并结合该段内容可知,该段主要介绍了进行研究的过程,包括让不同品种的狗识别不同材料的玩具等,据此可知,该段旨在介绍研究过程,故B项正确。]

B.Teach dogs new tricks.

(2019·长沙市统一模拟)It is not as simple as opening the door and hitting the track in winter.There are a few things you can do to ensure you are getting the most out of your run and,importantly,not doing more harm than good.
Warm up,cool down
__1__.Your muscles need some time to warm up when it's cold,so take it easy when you set off and do a few stretches once you're finished.
Drink water
You might not feel hot,but that's because sweat evaporates(蒸发) more quickly into the chilly,dry air.So be sure to drink water before,during and after cold weather workouts.__2__.A belt bottle conveniently attaches to your waist so you don't have to carry it and can have a drink whenever you feel like it.
__3__
Running in cotton is a bad idea.Wear thin,breathable layers of synthetic(合成的) clothing that help protect you from the wind and snow,but still let out heat
16
and moisture.Thirty percent of your body heat escapes through your hands and forty percent through your head.Wear a hat,or beanie(无檐小便帽),and gloves so your circulatory system can distribute warm blood to the rest of your body.__4__.
Run into the wind
__5__.Obviously,it will be an easier passage home with some extra help from Mother Nature.But,more importantly,you won't have the wind in your face for the second half of your run,when you are more likely to be sweating and catch a chill.
A.Dress right
B.Keep warm
C.Don't go too fast,too soon
D.Start and finish in the same way
E.Don't wait to drink water until you feel thirsty

(2019·新疆维吾尔自治区适应性检测)Superstorm Sandy slammed into the eastern United States three years ago.The winddriven water caused a lot of flooding,especially in the region's subway system.Now two teens have invented a device that could help prevent future subway floods.
In New York City alone,Superstorm Sandy caused an estimated $ 19 billion in damage.Much of the floodwaters entered the subway system through its ventilation grates (通风栅).Those metal grills usually lie at ground level.When the system is shut down ahead of a flood,engineers try to cover those grates with plywood (胶合板) and sandbags.But the flooding often washes away those measures,which allows water to flow into the tunnels.Raising those grates even a tiny bit above ground level would cost a lot of money.Other ideas have included building tall chimneys around the holes. That would raise the grates and cost a lot of money,too.
Kyle and Raymond came up with a different,less expensive idea.They designed a metal grate with a builtin,adjustable cover.When trains are running,one part of the grate slides open to bring in fresh air.But when the system is shut down,that part can be slid shut to completely block the grate.
Their grate is the same size as the grates used now.So,it would be simple,they say,to lift out the old grate and drop in a replacement.Their design includes tamper proof features,which can prevent operation mistakes.They make sure that people don't intentionally shut off airflow during normal conditions.For people with the proper key,it would only take a minute or two to close the grate ahead of a flood.

(2019·辽宁省五校协作体联合模拟)It took multiple weddings for Christine Law to realize what she needed to do.In the summer of 2014,her schedule was packed with friends' marriage celebrations—flowerfilled occasions that got her thinking,“Where do all the flowers go after the party?” More often than not,they were thrown away. Law was confident she could find a better use for them.
By August,she had a plan:convince couples and companies hosting events to donate their flowers,which she would pick up and deliver within 48 hours to seniors across the city.She wanted to bring beauty into the lives of the elderly.She drew on her experience through being a volunteer in nonprofit institutions in order to set up her own organization,which she called Floranthropie.Not having enough
16
bouquets(花束) for all 150 people of a health center,Law asked the staff to provide a list of patients who needed cheering up most,“The first woman I approached thought it was a mistake,and that the flowers couldn't possibly be for her,” says Law.“I said they were a gift,and we talked for a half hour.”
In addition to health centers,Floranthropie focuses on community groups devoted to the elderly.Laëtitia Thélème is a volunteer for Les Petits Fières,an organization that aims to help the elderly who don't have a support system.The group receives a dozen or so bouquets from Floranthropie monthly,and then redistributes them.“Our motto is ‘flowers before bread’,” says Thélème.“We don't focus on primary care,but rather on nourishing(滋养) the spirit.Floranthropie helps us do that.It's amazing what a big difference a small bouquet can make.”
In the beginning,most of Floranthropie's donations came through word of mouth.These days,Law receives messages from strangers via her organization's Facebook page and has connected with corporations and flower wholesalers.Law hopes to expand Floranthropie nationally,but at this point is happy to be able to oversee each delivery personally.

【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了导致睡眠不足的原因及其解决方法。
1.reported [考查动词的时态。根据该句中的“recently”,再结合上文可知,上述结果是北京的一家报纸报道过的,表示已经发生过的事情,故用一般过去时。]
2.an [考查不定冠词。根据语境可知,该处泛指“一个国际组织”,且international的发音以元音音素开头,故用不定冠词an。]
3.aged [考查形容词。分析该句结构可知,空处作名词“women”的后置定语,应用age的形容词形式aged,表示“年龄介于三十到六十岁的女性”。]
4.on [考查固定搭配。on average为固定搭配,意为“平均”。该句意为:在该报纸中一项由一个国际组织进行的研究表明,30到60岁的女性平均每天睡6小时41分钟。]
5.cities [考查名词单复数。根据该句中的“like Beijing and Shanghai”可知,该处指“像北京、上海那样的城市”,为复数意义,故用cities。]
6.pressure [考查名词。根据该句中“and competition”,再结合空前的形容词“heavy”可知,该形容词修饰两个并列的名词,故用press的名词形式pressure,表示“压力”。]
7.sleeping [考查形容词。空处修饰后面的名词habits,表示“睡眠习惯”,故用形容词sleeping。]
8.which [考查关系词。分析该句结构可知,该句为非限制性定语从句,空处在从句中作主语,指代前面的“unhappiness,anxiety and
16
depression”,故用关系代词which引导该定语从句。]
9.especially [考查副词。空处修饰短语“in women”,故用副词形式。]
10.daily [考查形容词。空处修饰后面的名词“routine”,表示“日常生活”,故用day的形容词形式daily。]
