20、，所以選A項。 111. Plants are flowering faster than scientists predicted(預(yù)測)in reaction to climate change, which could have long damaging effects on food chains and ecosystems. Global warming is having a great effect on hundreds of plant and animal species around the world, changing some living pat

21、terns, scientists say. Increased carbon dioxide(CO2)in the air from burning coal and oil can have an effect on how plants produce oxygen, while higher temperatures and changeable rainfall patterns can change their patterns of growth. “Predicting species’ reaction to climate change is a major chall

22、enge in ecology，” said the researchers of several U．S. universities. They said plants had been the key object of study because their reaction to climate change could have an effect on food chains and ecosystem services. The study, published on the Nature website, uses the findings from plant life c

23、ycle studies and experiments across four continents and 1,634 species. It found that some experiments had underestimated(低估) the speed of flowering by 8.5 times and leafing by 4 times. “Across all species, the experiments under-predicted the speed of the advance－for both leafing and flowering－that

24、results from temperature increases，” the study said. The design of future experiments may need to be improved to better predict how plants will react to climate change, it said. Plants are necessary for life on the Earth. They are the base of the food chain, using photosynthesis(光合作用)to produce su

Scientists believe the world’s average temperature has risen by about 0.8℃ since 1900, and nearly 0.2℃ every ten years since 1979. So far, efforts to cut emissions(排放)of planet-warming gr

26、eenhouse gases are not seen as enough to prevent the Earth heating up beyond 2℃ this century—a point scientists say will bring the danger of a changeable climate in which weather extremes are common, leading to drought, floods, crop failures and rising sea levels. 57. What is the key information th

27、e author wants to give in Paragraph 1? A．Plants’ reaction to weather could have damaging effects on ecosystems. B．The increasing speed of flowering is beyond scientists’ expectation.

31、本文為科普類文章。文章論述了全球變暖的氣候環(huán)境會讓植物提前開花，進而影響整個食物鏈及生態(tài)系統(tǒng)。 57. B　細節(jié)理解題。第一段話給讀者傳達的主要信息存在于主句，而不是which所引導(dǎo)的定語從句上。根據(jù)“Plants are flowering faster than scientists predicted”可知，作者是要告知讀者植物開花的增速超出了科學(xué)家的預(yù)期。故選B。A為次要信息。 58. C　推理判斷題。第五段話“It found that some experiments had underestimated(低估)the speed of flowering by 8.5 tim

32、es and leafing by 4 times.”暗示讀者：對于植物所設(shè)計的實驗應(yīng)該有所改進，故答案選C。 59. B　細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段“They said plants had been the key object of study because their reaction to climate change could have an effect on food chains and ecosystem services.”可知植物對氣候變化的反應(yīng)對整個食物鏈和生態(tài)系統(tǒng)都至關(guān)重要。故答案選B。 60. D　推理判斷題。從倒數(shù)第二段“…h(huán)as risen by abou

33、t 0.8℃ since 1900, and nearly 0.2℃ every ten years since 1979.”可知A、C項錯誤；從最后一段敘述可知，如果本世紀地球變暖超過2℃，便會出現(xiàn)weather extremes。暗示我們這個世紀地球溫度的上升需要控制在2℃的范圍之內(nèi)。故答案選D。 112. For those who are tired of doing the laundry, Samsung has found an answer: a washing machine that can tell you when your laundry is done vi

34、a a smartphone app(application). Strange though it may seem—“my wife already does that” was a common response among attendees viewing the device when it was introduced at the Consumer Electronics Show(CES)this week—Samsung is just one of many appliance makers racing to install(安裝)a large number of

35、Internet-connected features in machines in an effort to make them “smart”． Last year, it was a refrigerator that tweeted. This year, it's Wi-Fi-enabled laundry machines and fridges that can tell you when your groceries are going bad. The washers and dryers, available starting in the spring, connec

36、t to any smartphone through a downloadable application. The phone can then be used as a remote control, so the machines can be turned on and off while their owner is at work or on the bus. Samsung says it's not just something new—the app connection actually has some practical uses. “If you started

37、 to dry clothes in the morning and forgot to take them out, you can go to your phone and restart your dryer for the time when you come home, so your clothes are refreshed and ready to go，” said spokesperson Amy Schmidt. The company also says that with electricity rates(電價)varying depending on the t

38、ime of day, more control over when the machines are used can help save money. Perhaps, but what they will probably really accomplish is what all good technologies do—enable laziness. Rather than getting up to check on whether the laundry is done, users will instead monitor it on their phones while

39、watching TV. 72. What can be inferred from the common response of the attendees at the CES? A. The machine will be a big success. B. Their wives like doing the laundry. C. The machine is unrelated to their lift. D. This kind of technology is familiar to them. 73. What can we learn about the ne

42、se problems. D. Television may help do the laundry. 【要點綜述】短文介紹了一種能為人們帶來便利的洗衣機，但是也向我們提出了一個令人思考的問題：新科技會讓人們越來越懶惰，如何應(yīng)對這個問題或許值得深思。 72. D　推理判斷題。由第二段的Strange though it may seem—“my wife already does that” was a common response among attendees viewing the device when it was introduced at the Consumer Ele

43、ctronics Show(CES) this week看出“盡管看上去有點奇怪，但是這項技術(shù)對于人們來說已經(jīng)很熟悉了”。故選D。 73. B　推理判斷題。由第四段的“The washers and dryers, available starting in the spring, connect to any smartphone through a downloadable application. The phone can then be used as a remote control…”看出它是由智能手機控制的，由此可知選擇B項。 74. A　推理判斷題。根據(jù)文中對這一洗衣機裝

44、置以及其功能和操作的描述可以看出，它使得人們的生活更加輕松便捷。故選A。 75. C　主旨大意題。最后一段的Perhaps, but what they will probably really accomplish is what all good technologies do—enable laziness.告訴我們，該項技術(shù)能使人們變懶，也就是C項所說的“優(yōu)良技術(shù)也會帶來問題”。故選C。 113. You may think that sailing is a difficult sport, but it is really not hard to learn it.

45、You do not need to be strong. But you need to be quick. And you need to understand a few basic rules about the wind. First, you must ask yourself，“Where is the wind coming from? Is it coming from ahead or behind or from the side？” You must think about this all the time on the boat. The wind directi

46、on tells you what to do with the sail. Let's start with the wind blowing from behind. This means the wind and the boat are going in the same direction. Then you must always keep the sail outside the boat. It should be at a 90°angle(角度)to the boat. Then it will catch the wind best. If the wind is b

47、lowing from the side, it is blowing across the boat. In this case, you must keep the sail half way outside the boat. It should be at a 45°angle to the boat. It needs to be out far enough to catch the wind, but it shouldn't flap(擺動)．It shouldn't look like a flag on a flagpole. If it is flapping, it i

48、s probably out too far, and the boat will slow down. Sailing into the wind is not possible. If you try, the sail will flap and the boat will stop. You may want to go in that direction. It is possible, but you can't go in a straight line. You must go first in one direction and then in another. This

49、is called tacking. When you are tacking, you must always keep the sail inside the boat. 45. What should you consider first while sailing? A．Sailors' strength. B．Wave levels. C．Wind directions. D．Size of sails. 46．What does the word “It” underlined in Paragraph 4 refer to? A．The boat. B．The

50、 wind. C．The sail. D．The angle. 47．What do you have to do when sailing against the wind? A．Move in a straight line. B．Allow the sail to flap. C．Lower the sail. D．Tack the boat. 48．Where can you probably find the text? A．In a popular magazine. B．In a tourist guidebook. C．In a physics textb

51、ook. D．In an official report. 【要點綜述】本文主要介紹了航行中關(guān)于風向的問題。首先要考慮風向，然后再根據(jù)風是從船的后面，側(cè)面還是前面來確定航行的方法。 45. C　細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段的最后一句話“And you need to understand a few basic rules about the wind.”和第二段的內(nèi)容，可知首先要考慮風向的問題。A項是不需要考慮的，B項和D項沒有提及。 46. C　代詞指代題。結(jié)合第四段中“In this case, you must keep the sail half way outside the b

52、oat.”中的the sail可知后面的it指的是“風帆”。而不是“船”，“風”或“角度”。 47. D　細節(jié)理解題。從最后一段的“You may want to go in that direction.…This is called tacking.”可知是逆風航行的時候要不斷地改變方向，因此選D。 48. A　推理判斷題。本文主要涉及的是大眾的航行運動的知識，而不是有關(guān)旅游和物理方面的知識，也不是一個官方的報告，因此選A。 114. Astronauts on shorter shuttle missions(使命)often work very long days. Tas

53、ks are scheduled so tightly that break times are often used to finish the day's work. This type of schedule is far too demanding for long missions on the International Space Station(ISS)．ISS crewmembers usually live in space for at least a quarter of a year. They work five days on and two days off t

54、o mimic the normal way they do things on Earth as much as possible. Weekends give the crew valuable time to rest and do a few hours of housework. They can communicate with family and friends by email, Internet phone and through private video conferences. While astronauts cannot go to a baseball gam

55、e or a movie in orbit, there are many familiar activities that they can still enjoy. Before a mission, the family and friends of each ISS crewmember put together a collection of family photos, messages, videos and reading material for the astronauts to look at when they will be floating 370 kilomete

56、rs above the Earth. During their mission, the crew also receives care packages with CDs, books, magazines, photos and letters. And as from early 2020, the Internet became available on the ISS, giving astronauts the chance to do some “web surfing(沖浪)” in their personal time. Besides relaxing with the

57、se more common entertainments, astronauts can simply enjoy the experience of living in space. Many astronauts say that one of the most relaxing things to do in space is to look out the window and stare at the universe and the Earth. Both the shuttle and the ISS circle the planet several times each

58、day, and every moment offers a new view of the Earth's vast land mass and oceans. 60．What does the word “mimic” in Paragraph 1 probably mean? A．Find. B．Copy. C．Change. 　D．Lose. 61．Which of the following best describes the families of the astronauts on the ISS? A．They are caring and thoughtful

59、. B．They are worried and upset. C．They are impatient and annoyed. D．They are excited and curious. 62．In the final paragraph, the author shows that astronauts ________. A．get more pleasure in space than on the Earth B．find living in space a bit boring and tiring C．regard space life as common

60、D．love to see the Earth from space 63．The passage mainly discusses how astronauts ________. A．work for longer missions in space B．connect with people on the Earth C．observe the Earth from space D．spend their free time in space 【要點綜述】本文是記敘文。宇航員的生活往往是與眾不同的，但是在國際空間站的工作人員的生活可以跟在地球上的生活很相似。他們可以與家人或者

61、朋友聯(lián)系，也可以做一些日常的活動。 60. B　詞義猜測題。聯(lián)系They work five days on and two days off我們知道，他們的生活與地球上是一樣的，因此答案為B。 61. A　推理判斷題。從第二段我們知道，在飛行前，這些航天員的家人以及朋友為他們準備了照片、書籍等供他們消遣的東西，因此他們是很體貼和想法周全的。D有一定干擾性，文章沒有講述家人或者朋友對于這些宇航員工作的興奮與好奇，因此可以排除。 62. D　推理判斷題。從最后一段我們知道，這些宇航員喜歡從窗口看外面的世界，并且地球在不同時間提供了不同的畫面。 63. D　主旨大意題。全文講述了國際空間站

62、的宇航員是如何度過工作之余的閑暇時間的。B、C有一定的干擾性。文章提到過宇航員與地面上的家人和朋友的聯(lián)系，也提到了他們透過窗子看地球上的景觀，但是這些都是細節(jié)，而不是主題。 115. Medical drugs sometimes cause more damage than they cure. One solution to this problem is to put the drugs inside a capsule, protecting them from the body—and the body from them—until they can be released

63、 at just the right spot. There are lots of ways to trigger (引發(fā)) this release，including changing temperature, acidity, and so on. But triggers can come with their own risks—burns, for example. Now, researchers in California have designed what could be a harmless trigger to date: shining near-infrared

64、 light (NIR, 近紅外線) on the drug in the capsule. The idea of using light to liberate the drug in the capsule isn't new. Researchers around the globe have developed polymers (聚合物) and other materials that begin to break down when they absorb either ultraviolet (UV, 紫外線) or visible light. But tissues a

65、lso readily absorb UV and visible light, which means the drug release can be triggered only near the skin, where the light can reach the capsule. NIR light largely passes through tissues, so researchers have tried to use it as a trigger. But few compounds (化合物) absorb NIR well and go through chemica

66、l changes. That changed last year when Adah Almutairi, a chemist at the University of California, San Diego, reported that she and her colleagues had designed a polymer that breaks down when it absorbs NIR light. Their polymer used a commercially available NIR-absorbing group called o-nitrobenzyl (ONB). When they catch the light, ONB groups fall off the polymer, leading to its breakdown. But ONB is only a so-so NIR absorber, and it could be poisonous to cells when it separates from the polymer
