A
(2020·皖南八校联考)You try to keep your eyes wide open while watching a basketball match or a wonderful firework show in case you might miss something exciting in just the blink of an eye. But in fact, humans blink about 15 times per minute on average. Have you ever missed anything because you blinked? Probably not. Why is that?
According to a new study published in the journal Current Biology in September, our brain has the ability to skip the temporary darkness when we blink. It can keep visual information for a short period of time and then put it together to form an image without interruption.
In order to understand how this works, a group of scientists at the German Primate Center and the University Center Gottingen in Germany conducted an experiment. In the study, the participants were asked to look at patterns on a screen whose direction could be interpreted in different ways, such as horizontally(水平地) or vertically(垂直地). When one pattern was about to disappear and the next one was about to come, the participants had to indicate the direction that the next pattern would appear.
The researchers found that when the directions of two patterns didn’t match, the area in our brain which is responsible for visual memory was activated. This same area showed less activity when two patterns were in the same direction.
“The medial prefrontal cortex(额叶皮层) adjusts current visual information with previously obtained information, and thus enables us to perceive the world with more stability, even when we briefly close our eyes to blink,” Caspar Schwiedrzik
38
explained in Science Daily. He is the first author of the study and also a scientist at the German Primate Center.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。研究发现,眨眼并不会错过细节并解释了其原因。
1.We don’t miss anything when blinking because our brain can ________.
A.deal with the missing image
B.remember all that we see
C.imagine what our eyes miss
D.put our pieces of memory together
A 解析:推理判断题。根据第二段第一句“According to a new study published in the journal Current Biology in September, our brain has the ability to skip the temporary darkness when we blink.” 可知,根据九月份发表在《当代生物学》杂志上的一项新研究,我们的大脑有能力跳过我们眨眼时形成的暂时黑暗。据此可推知,由于我们的大脑能处理丢失的图像,所以眨眼不会让我们错过任何东西,故A项正确。
2.What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A.Our brain. B.Visual information.
C.Current Biology. D.The temporary darkness.
B 解析:代词指代题。根据第二段第二句“It can keep visual information for a short period of time and then put it together to form an image without interruption.”可知,大脑可以在短时间内保存视觉信息,然后将其组合在一起形成不中断的图像,故可推知,it指代上文中的“visual information”,故B项正确。
3.What do we know about the experiment?
A.The two patterns appear at the same time.
B.Visual memory can be more activated by similarity.
C.Participants can interpret patterns differently.
D.The different directions activated visual memory.
D 解析:细节理解题。根据第四段中的“when the directions of two patterns didn’t match, the area in our brain which is responsible for visual memory was activated. This same area showed less activity when two patterns were in the same direction.”可知,当两个模式的方向不一致时,掌握视觉记忆的大脑区域则被激活;当两种模式在同一方向时,这个区域则显示出较少的活动。据此可知,
38
不同的方向能激活视觉记忆,故D项正确。
4.What would be the best title for this passage?
A.The Brain’s Structure
B.The Brain’s Activated Patterns
C.The Brain’s Special Skill
D.The Brain’s Orientation
C 解析:标题归纳题。通读全文可知,本文主要介绍了一项科学研究。研究表明,眨眼不会错过细节并解释了其原因,即大脑有能力在短时间内保存视觉信息,然后将其组合在一起形成不中断的图像信息。故C项最适合作本文的标题。

(2020·济南高三质检)There are only a few truly pleasant smells to wake up to in the morning. For me, it’s the smell of freshly brewed coffee. Just a sniff of it makes me jump out of bed and rush to the kitchen for a gulp of the hot black liquid.
If you’re a big fan of coffee, you’ll understand that opening a new packet of coffee releases an amazing smell—fresh, roasted coffee beans. And you’ll be able to identify the beans’ origin—Colombia, Vietnam or Brazil. Tim Hayward is a food writer and coffee shop owner; he believes the smell is absolutely vital. “When you walk into the coffee shop in the morning and that smell hits you, you’re getting physiological responses.”
I know from experience when I walk into a cafe, my mouth begins to water and it’s the smell that makes me feel good. However, this feeling sometimes turns to disappointment. This is particularly the case when I order a coffee to go in a tall paper cup and sip the liquid through a hole in the lid. Yes, it’s convenient, but is it really the right way to appreciate it?
You walk into the coffee shop, you get the smell, but when you actually take the drink out, you are drinking it from something that is designed to deliver the hot liquid directly past your tongue, but prevent any smell coming up to your nose. As well as eliminating the smell, takeaway coffee cups create a lot of waste and a vast majority of them still don’t get recycled. So maybe now is the time to really wake up and smell the coffee by drinking from a cup in a cafe, chatting with friends
38
and saving the planet!
【解题导语】 咖啡的味道令作者着迷,但是纸杯装的咖啡,其味道被阻隔了,无法让人感觉到咖啡真正的味道,并且纸杯还带来污染。
5.In which aspect does the author agree with Tim Hayward?
A.People drink coffee first thing in the morning.
B.Coffee beans’ origin makes all the differences.
C.Some people are addicted to drinking coffee.
D.It’s the smell of coffee that really matters.
D 解析:细节理解题。根据第一段第二句“For me, it’s the smell of freshly brewed coffee.”以及第二段第三句中的“he believes the smell is absolutely vital”可知,两人都认为咖啡的味道非常重要。故选D。
6.What does the author complain about?
A.The process of making coffee.
B.The high temperature of coffee.
C.The design of the paper coffee cup.
D.The inconvenience of buying coffee.
C 解析:细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句和第四段第一句中的“you are drinking it from something that is designed to deliver the hot liquid directly past your tongue, but prevent any smell coming up to your nose”可知,纸杯的设计令作者不满。故选C。
7.What can replace the word “eliminating” underlined in Paragraph 4?
A.Creating. B.Removing.
C.Increasing. D.Changing.
B 解析:词义猜测题。根据第四段第一句中的“prevent any smell coming up to your nose”并结合画线词所在句可推知,该词的含义与“prevent”含义相近,故选B。
8.What can be the best title of the text?
A.Wake Up and Smell the Coffee
B.Try to Be a Real Lover of Coffee
C.Drink Coffee to Save the Planet
D.Choose Takeaway Coffee for Convenience
38
A 解析:标题归纳题。根据第一段第二句“For me, it’s the smell of freshly brewed coffee.”并结合文章其他内容可知,全文围绕咖啡的味道展开叙述,主要讲述了作者对咖啡味道的喜爱,并表述了打包带走的纸杯装咖啡的坏处,并因此建议不如在咖啡馆内坐下来,细细品味咖啡,故A项最适合作本文标题。

(2020·安徽联盟阶段考试)
When I was three years old, I couldn’t speak. It was a strange reality that none of the doctors I visited could understand.
One day, I was shadowing(尾随) my mother. She found herself looking in a mirror, and through it our eyes met. She began to speak to me through the reflection, and I slowly began to mimic(模仿) her mouth’s movements until I formed a word.
It turned out that I’m deaf in my left ear, and have a slight problem in my right. Being hard of hearing has been difficult, but I’ve never lived in a state of selfhating sorrow. Imagine being able to shut out all sound as you lay your head down to sleep by simply rolling over onto one side. That’s my reality when I sleep on my “good ear”, and it makes me feel like a superhero sometimes.
People call my deaf side my “bad ear”, but when I wear my hearing aid, I have access to a range of features that some other deaf people don’t. In cinemas, for example, with one click of a button I can enjoy a whole film as though it were whispered to me from the mouths of the actors.
Owning a hearing aid hasn’t always felt good, however. On the first day I got my aid, when I was eight, I took it to school for show and tell. As I explained how it worked to my classmates, a boy yelled out, “Aren’t those for old men?” At that moment, I felt different. It took a long time for me to get over that sense of being so unlike my peers.
But it’s not just schoolkids who can make us deaf and hardofhearing people feel like burdens. Every video on social media that lacks subtitles(字幕), for example, means an entire community of deaf people is unable to enjoy it. Completely
38
deaf people are excluded from enjoying many movies too, as subtitles in cinemas are almost impossible to find.
And with hearing aids costing around $2,500 each, it can be hard for many people to afford to be able to listen to things that others take for granted. As for me, I can listen to music, enjoy films, and catch conversations—I’m lucky. I’m deaf, but I can still hear everything. I’ve been blessed with wonderful life experiences, and I am human. And when it comes to sleeping, I’m even superhuman.
【解题导语】 本文主要讲述了作者积极应对自己听力障碍的励志故事。
1.How does the author view his hearing difficulty?
A.It’s a disaster and causes him a lot of trouble.
B.It gave him a chance to experience something special.
C.It made him feel embarrassed in front of his classmates.

(2020·辽宁五校联考)In a longsleeved shirt and jeans, Dieudonne Twahirwa looks nothing like the traditional African farmer. The 30yearold owner of Gashora Farm knows what a difference that makes.
“You need more role models,” he said, standing among kneehigh rows of chilli(辣椒) plants. “If you have young farmers, having land and driving to the farm, others may think, ‘Why can’t I do that?’”
Mr. Twahirwa, a university graduate, bought a friend’s tomato farm six years ago for $150. He made $1,500 back in two months. “You have to link farming with entrepreneurship and real numbers,” he said.
Many young Africans are abandoning areas in the countryside, choosing not to work hard and for a long time in the fields—a job made tougher by climate change.
But Twahirwa is one of the growing band of successful farmers working to make agriculture’s image on the continent more attractive. Some 1,000 farmers now produce chillies for him. He is starting a fourth farm of his own, and exports fresh and
38
dried chillies and oil to Britain, the United States, India, and Kenya.
Africa has the world’s youngest population and 65 percent of its uncultivated arable land(耕地后备资源). Yet accessing land and loans is difficult, and African productivity is low with crop yields just 56 percent of the international average.
“Agriculture is mainly associated with suffering and no young person wants to suffer,” said Tamara Kaunda. She believes African agriculture needs a change to get rid of its oldfashioned image of very hard and tiring work with a hoe. “Show young people tractors, green fields, nice irrigation systems and smartphones,” she said.
Getting young people involved in agriculture does not mean they have to work on a farm. For example, in coffee production, the beans go from the farm to the washing station, then to be separated from the husks(外壳).
【解题导语】 非洲青年Dieudonne Twahirwa从事农业生产,他通过自己的努力,获得了巨大的回报;非洲有世界上最年轻的人群与大量的耕地后备资源,但是由于气候与农业技术的落后,很多年轻人都不愿意从事农业;Dieudonne Twahirwa则为非洲青年树立了榜样。
5.What does “Why can’t I do that?” in paragraph 2 mean?
A.Why can’t I drive to the farm?
B.Why can’t they farm?
C.They follow the example of those farmers.
D.They bought a friend’s tomato farm.
C 解析:句意理解题。根据第二段中的“If you have young farmers, having land and driving to the farm, others may think, ‘Why can’t I do that?’”可知,此处表示如果你有年轻的农民,他们有土地,而且开车去农场,其他人可能会想:“为什么我不能那样做?”该句意在表明其他人认为他们可以效仿那些农民的做法。故选C。
6.What makes it harder for farmers to work?
A.Poor land. B.Climate change.
C.Low income. D.Long working hours.
B 解析:细节理解题。根据第四段“Many young Africans are abandoning areas in the countryside...a job made tougher by climate change.”可知,在非洲,让农民的劳动难度更大的原因是气候变化。故选B。
38
7.What can we learn about Twahirwa according to paragraph 5?
A.He made a fortune by growing chillies.
B.His chillies are superb in the world.
C.Farmers working for him live a simple life.
D.The locals aren’t willing to buy his chillies.
A 解析:推理判断题。根据第五段中的“Some 1,000 farmers now produce chillies for him. He is starting a fourth farm of his own”可推知,Twahirwa通过种植红辣椒赚了很多钱。故选A。
8.When it comes to agriculture in Africa, what do people think about it?
A.Loans are difficult.
B.Most land is uncultivated.
C.Crop yields are rather low.
D.Farming methods are out of date.
D 解析:推理判断题。根据第七段中的“African agriculture needs a change to get rid of its oldfashioned image of very hard and tiring work with a hoe”可知,非洲农业需要改变,以摆脱其传统的形象:使用锄头的非常辛苦和累人的工作。由此可知,当谈及非洲的农业时,人们想到的是落后的耕作方法。故选D。A、B、C三项均为非洲农业的实际情况,不是人们对其的看法。

(2020·沈阳教学质量监测一)Whoever wrote the song “It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year” must have never experienced the holiday blues. Fortunately, psychological research suggests some effective ways you can use to beat the holiday blues. The key point is that sadness and other tough emotions are not what we should try to avoid. 1.________. Here are four strategies to help you make your own happiness recipe this holiday season.
Don’t force cheer
At family gatherings with cousins you secretly can’t stand, you tend to put on a happy face. Indeed, that might even seem like the most mature response—no drama, no conflict. But a 2011 study followed dozens of bus drivers, looking to see when they gave forced or honest smiles at their passengers. The results showed when the
38
