(2020·河南六市高三联考)Keeping fit often means sharing a busy pathway with cyclists, runners and walkers, but imagine facing the task of doing it all without being able to see or hear. It is a challenge many disabled athletes face, unless someone agrees to be their eyes and ears.
Newly formed group Achilles Brisbane pairs visionand hearingimpaired(视觉和听觉受损的) athletes with people who would like to guide them.
Jane Britt, president of Achilles Brisbane, who is visionand hearingimpaired, said, “When we go out, it’s much less frightening to have someone beside us that has full hearing to listen for us and tell us what’s there.”
Ms.Cullen and Ms.Britt meet up most Saturday mornings to take part in the fivekilometer park run. Their partnership is built on trust, but Ms. Britt said that it took time to develop.
Ms.Britt said it took an unexpected storm for her to trust Ms. Cullen completely. “There was violent rain, my glasses were broken and we were walking together. I suddenly had to tell her I couldn’t see anything, and I was going to have to completely trust her. From that time I knew it was going to work because she was so good about dealing with the special situation we both found ourselves in,” she said.
Isabella Allen and her seeing eye dog Tatum are two new additions to the Achilles Brisbane. Ms. Allen kept active by rowing, running and cycling but found it difficult to keep going as her vision became worse. After nearly giving up completely, she worked up the courage to ask Achilles Brisbane to find someone to share a boat with her.
Ms. Allen said the fear of not finding anyone to row with almost stopped her from reaching out to Achilles Brisbane. “But, they found people and matched me to them,” she said. “It’s the best thing I’ve ever done.”

(2020·成都第二次诊断)Author Walter Dean Myers died at the age of 76 after a brief illness. Walter Dean Myers was the author of more than 100 books for children and young adults and received many top awards.
The prolific author was loved for his vivid description of the lives of African American children, and for writing books for young people that covered different subjects. “Myers has written about all those subjects with deep understanding and a hardwon, qualified sense of hope,” said Leonard S. Marcus in 2008.
He was born in 1937 and was adopted by Florence Dean and Herbert after his mother died while giving birth to his younger sister. They loved him very much and his mother read to him from a very young age. Reading pushed him to discover worlds beyond his landscape.
He began writing at an early age. He wrote well in high school and an English teacher recognized this and advised him to keep on writing no matter what happened to him. “It’s what you do,” she said.
He dropped out of high school at 17 and joined the army. After finishing his service, he entered a dark period in his life. Myers began writing at night to pull himself through that miserable time.
In an essay published in The New York Times earlier this year, Myers described how a short story by James Arthur Baldwin helped change the course of his life. “I didn’t love the story, but I was lifted by it,” he wrote, “for it took place in Harlem, and it was a story concerned with black people like those I knew. By humanizing the people who were like me, Baldwin’s story also humanized me. The story gave me a permission that I didn’t know I needed, the permission to write about my own landscape, my own map.”
“I write books for the troubled boy I once was,” he wrote, “and for the boy who lives within me still.”
【解题导语】 本文是一篇记叙文,主要介绍了美国著名作家Walter Dean Myers的生平。

(2020·三门峡调研)Who’re happier, men or women? Research shows it’s a complex question and that asking whether males or females are happier isn’t really that helpful, because basically, happiness is different for women and men.
Women’s happiness has been declining for the past 30 years, according to recent statistics. And research shows that women are twice as likely to experience depression compared with men. Gender(性别) differences in depression are well confirmed and studies have found that biological, psychological and social factors contribute to the difference.
Early studies on gender and happiness found men and women were socialized to express different feelings. Women are more likely to express happiness, warmth and fear, which help with social bonding and appear more consistent with the traditional role as a primary caregiver, while men display more anger, pride and disrespect,
15
which are more consistent with a protector and provider role.
Recent research suggests that these differences are not just socially, but also genetically related. Studies have looked into these findings further and discovered that females use more areas of the brain containing mirror neurons(镜像神经元) than males when they process feelings. Mirror neurons allow us to experience the world from other people’s view, to understand their actions and intentions. This may explain why women can experience deeper sadness. Women tend to experience more negative feelings, such as more guilt, shame and to a lesser degree, embarrassment.
Psychologically it seems men and women differ in the way they process and express feelings. With the exception of anger, women experience feelings more strongly and share their feelings more openly with others. Studies have found in particular that women express more appreciation—which has been linked to greater happiness. This supports the theory that women’s happiness is more dependent on relationships than men’s.
【解题导语】 本文从社会、生理和心理三个方面介绍了男性和女性在幸福感上的差异。

(2020·南阳高三诊断)A team of engineers at Harvard University created the first robotic fly. Designed to do what a fly does naturally, the tiny machine is the size of a fat housefly. Its mini wings allow it to stay in the air and perform controlled flight tasks.
“The added difficulty with a project like this is that actually none of its components is off the shelf and we have to develop them all on our own,” said Robert Wood, a Harvard engineering professor.
They engineered a series of systems to start and drive the robotic fly. “The seemingly simple system which just moves the wings has lots of interdependence(互相依赖) of the individual components, each of which individually has to perform well, but then has to be matched well to everything it’s connected to,” said Wood.
While this first robotic flyer is linked to a small, offboard power source, the goal is eventually to equip it with a builtin power source, so that it might someday perform datagathering work at rescue sites, in farmers’ fields or on the battlefield. “Basically it should be able to take off, land and fly around,” he said.
Wood says the design offers a new way to study flight mechanics and control at insectscale. Yet, the power, sensing and computation technologies on board could have much broader applications. “You can start thinking about using them to answer open scientific questions, you know, to study biology in ways that would be difficult with the animals, but using these robots instead,” he said. “So there are a lot of technologies and open interesting scientific questions that are really what drives us on a daytoday basis.”

Ⅱ.七选五
(2020·北京怀柔区高三模拟)In a study recently published in the journal Neuron,
15
researchers found that super memorizers don’t have unusually large brain regions that allow them to remember a lot of information. 1.________ Here are a few of their favorite tricks that can help you to remember things in your everyday life.
To Remember: New words
Technique: Change routine
In a study, a group of students studied a list of words in two separate sessions. Some studied in a messy room and some in a neat space. One group of students spent both sessions in the same room, while the other split the sessions between the two environments. During a test, the students who studied in multiple places remembered much more. 2.________ That includes the time of day, the music in the background, whether you sit or stand, etc.
To Remember: Your PIN
Technique: Count it out
You could use your birthday, or your phone number, but identity thieves have a way of figuring those numbers out. 3.________ Write a four-word sentence, then count the number of letters in each word. For instance, “This is my PIN”=4223.
To Remember: Faces
Technique: Focus on noses
While some super memorizers specialize in associating names with faces, the memory palace technique doesn’t work as well if the image of the face is changed in any way. Rather than focusing on eyes, as most people do, focus on the centre or to the left of a person’s nose. 4.________
To Remember: Facts & figures
Technique: 5.________
To learn and remember statistics, reviewing the material repeatedly over a longer time is far more effective than repeating it in a shorter one. If your exam is in a week, study today and then again in a day or two. If it’s a month away, study today and then wait a week before your second session.
A.Value exams
B.Give yourself time
C.This allows you to take in their whole face.
D.Their brain structures are in fact the same as ours.
E.Instead, try this tip from Dominic O’Brien, an eighttime World Memory Champion.
15
F.The theory is that your brain links the words to the environment around you.
G.Studies showed that varying other aspects of your environment can also help.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了四个有助于记忆的技巧。
1.D 解析:根据上文中的“super memorizers don’t have unusually large brain regions”可知,那些记忆达人并没有非常大的脑区域,他们的大脑结构实际上和我们的一样,故选D项。
2.G 解析:承接上文“During a test, the students who studied in multiple places remembered much more.”,并与空后一句“That includes the time of day, the music in the background, whether you sit or stand, etc.”呼应可知,其他方面的环境变化对记忆也是有帮助的,这与本段介绍的技巧Change routine相吻合,故选G项。
3.E 解析:根据空前一句“You could use...figuring those numbers out.”和空处下文的内容可知,空处推荐了一种不同的方法,这与第一段中效仿记忆达人的有效记忆策略相呼应,故选E项。
4.C 解析:根据本段的记忆主题Faces和空前一句“Rather than focusing on eyes...a person’s nose.”可知,通过集中注意力于一个人的鼻子可以让你记住一个人的整个面孔,故选C项。
5.B 解析:根据该段第一句“To learn and remember statistics, reviewing the material repeatedly over a longer time is far more effective than repeating it in a shorter one.”并结合对本段的整体理解可推知,本段推荐的记忆技巧是给自己时间,故选B项。
Ⅲ.语法填空

【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了一种即将上市的智能钱包。
1.to survive 解析:考查非谓语动词。此处为动词不定式作状语表目的。该句意为:在当今的移动支付世界,我们生存真正需要的是一部智能手机。
2.bringing 解析:考查非谓语动词。根据空前的介词by可知,空处作该介词的宾语,故用动名词形式。该句意为:但有一家公司希望通过将传统钱包带入数字时代,让它们再次变酷。
3.an 解析:考查冠词。根据该句中的“a GPS tracker, and even a camera”并结合语境可知,该处泛指“一个警报器”,且alarm的发音以元音音素开头,故用不定冠词an。
4.so 解析:考查连词。句意:如果你的智能手机和钱包分开了,警报器会提醒你,这样你就不会忘记它。根据空处前后的句意可知,空处前后表示因果关系,故用so引导该结果状语从句。
5.is lost 解析:考查动词的时态和语态。句意:如果你的钱包丢失或被盗,GPS跟踪器可以帮助你找到它。if引导的条件状语从句中可用一般现在时表示将来,故空处用一般现在时;根据语境可知,空处表示丢失的状态,故用is lost。
6.more interesting 解析:考查形容词的比较级。上文介绍了如果你的钱包丢失或被盗,GPS跟踪器可以帮助你找到它的情况,结合该句中的“Even”可知,此处表示“更令人感兴趣的是前置摄像头”。故该处用形容词的比较级。
7.without 解析:考查介词。根据语境可知,如果有人胆敢在未经允许的情况下打开你的钱包,里面的一个小摄像头就会拍下照片并发送到你的手机上。without permission意为“未经允许”,为固定用法。
8.will take 解析:考查时态。分析句子结构可知,该句为主从复合句,从句为if引导的条件状语从句,使用了一般现在时,故主句用一般将来时。该句意为:如果有人胆敢在未经允许的情况下打开你的钱包,里面的一个小摄像头就会拍下照片并发送到你的手机上。
9.easily 解析:考查副词。空处修饰动词“find”,故用副词形式。
10.models 解析:考查名词的单复数。model为可数名词,根据空前的数词“three”可知,该处用复数形式。该句意为:这种高科技钱包的三个模型将于今年晚些时候上市,预计最便宜的价格是179美元。
