2、的）status was associated with healthoutcomes. They classified the countrys 3,141 counties into 50 new “states“ based on average household income as opposed to geographic areas. They broke down the data by county since they found state-level data may hide some impact of socioeconomic differences on bo

3、th the best-off and worst-off counties.Researchers found that there was nearly a 10-year difference in the life expectancy of men with an average of 79.3 years in the wealthiest counties compared to 69.8 years in the poorest. For women, the difference was slightly less-83 years in the wealthiest cou

4、nties and 76 years in the poorest. The study helps show how economic policies and income inequality are associated with health outcomes.“A lot of our work is about connecting the dots,“ said Woolf, the lead researcher. There is a tendency in our country to talk about health issues as medical problem

5、s without realizing that decisions that the new administration will make about economic policy and lowering taxes are all health issues.”While it may seem apparent that higher incomes would lead to better health outcomes, since people will be better able to get preventive medical care and treatment,

6、 Woolf says there are other seemingly unrelated factors that can affect health as well. He said that children who grow up in an economically depressed area with high levels of stress due to financial problems can end up with chronic stress. These children are at increased risk of developing diabetes

7、, heart disease or high blood pressure. kfcA lot of those conditions trace themselves back to childhood exposure,said Woolf.Woolf warns that while they found a connection between socioeconomic status and health outcomes, they did not analyze cause and effect, but they suggested that the data showed

8、that policy-makers should not just focus on state-wide measures but they should fbcus more on targeted efforts to help those most at risk. With limited resources, methods of identifying the poorest counties can assist in the allocation of resources and programs to those communities that are in the g

9、reatest need, Woolf said.l.The data collected by the researchers are based on counties because .A.it is easy to collect data by countyB.the state-level health data are unbelievableC.there is only a small wealth difference among statesD.it can reflect the effect of socioeconomic status on life expect

10、ancy accurately2.By saying “A lot of our work is about connecting the dots”, Woolf means .A.they help connect the government with poor peopleB.their work helps find more factors relating to health outcomesC.they help connect counties with socioeconomic differencesD.their work is to find the relation

11、 between peoples income and life expectancy3 .What does the underlined word “chronic“ in Paragraph 5 mean?A.Long-term.B.Serious.C.Acute. D.Early.4 . Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A.Children suffer most from poor family economic status.B.People in poorer counties are less li

13、 poorest counties in the US.C.The government should learn something from the study.D.People still dont know the factor that decides life expectancy.林宏l.D细节理解题。根据第二段第一句话和最后一句话可知,研究人员将数据按县分类是因为它能准确 反映社会经济地位对预期寿命的影响。2.B 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“There is a tendency.all health issues.”可知,Woolf说的“我们的很多 工作都是关于连接这些点的”

14、的意思是他们的工作有助于发现更多与健康结果相关的因素。3 .A词义猜测题。根据画线词上文内容可知,画线词所在句表达的是在经济萧条地区长大的孩子由于经济问题而承受着巨大的压力,最终可能会长期都有压力,chronic意为“长期的二4 .C细节理解题。根据第五段最后两句话可知.糟糕的经济状况对人们的负面影响很早就开始了。5 .C态度意图题。根据最后一段中的“but they suggested that.可知,Woolf认为政府应该从他们的研 究中吸取教训。Passage 2Tiny as they are, bats have the ability to “see in the dark by

15、using a special skill called echolocation（回 声定位）.They make noises and wait for sound waves, or an echo, to bounce（反弹）back off objects. They can tell the distance of various objects by how quickly the sound waves bounce back off them. If no sound bounces back, they can then fly forward.This special a

16、bility has been simulated in the human world for a long time, such as in submarines and planes, whose sonar（声呐）systems are somewhat similar to echolocation. But apart from helping vehicles see” where they are, what if blind people could use echolocation for themselves? It turns out that some already

17、 are. American Daniel Kish, who is blind, is known as “Batman”. This isnt because he walks around in a cape and a mask, but because he has a bat-like ability to locate where he is through sharp clicks he makes by moving his tongue against the roof of his mouth. Kish is so skilled at echolocating tha

18、t he can ride a bike and hike on his own.Recently, the research carried out at Durham University in England sheds some light on the power of human echolocation.Kish worked with a group of scientists who studied the way blind people listen to the echoes that they produce from clicks.The team, which c

19、onducted experiments with other volunteers, found that people were capable of hearing even very faint echoes, ones far fainter than had been previously thought.Speaking to The Independent, Lore Thaler, lead scientist of the group, said, “We found that in some conditions, they were really faintabout

20、95 percent softer than the actual clicks, but the echolocators were still able to sense them.”Andrew Kolarik of the University of Cambridge is another expert in echolocation. Reacting to the Durham study, he told BBC News that echolocation can be very useful for providing information at face or ches

21、t height“ and could help people “avoid objects like low-hanging branches that might not get detected by the cane or a guide dog”.Although Kishs skill is remarkable, theres hope for other blind people who want to use echolocation. According to BBC News, echolocation is a skill blind people can acquir

22、e and develop, just like learning a language. As Kolarik said: Teaching echolocation skills could provide blind people with the means of exploring new places.”1 .The underlined word “simulated“ in Paragraph 2 probably means A.discoveredB.copiedC.improvedD.challenged2 .How does Kish locate where he i

23、s?A.By using his great sense of hearing.B.By listening to the echoes produced by his cane.C.Via the echoes from the clicks he makes with his tongue.D.Via the sonar system attached to his body.3 .What did Lore Thalers team find from their studies?A.It is hard for echolocators to sense faint echoes.B.

24、Humans can echolocate better than we thought we could.C.Echolocators can pick up all types of echoes.D.Blind people are better echolocators than those who can see.4 .According to the article, teaching echolocation to blind people .A.will enable them to get rid of their caneB.will improve their abili

25、ty to learn a new languageC.will open up new possibilities for themD.is not easy to put into practice5 .What is the article mainly about?A.A Study on blind people using echolocation.B.Different types of human echolocation.C.The importance of human echolocation.D.Why bats echolocation could be used b

26、y humans.答案l.B词义猜测题。根据下文可知，潜水艇和飞机的声呐系统和蝙蝠的回声定位能力相似，这说明蝙蝠的这种能力在人类的生活中被模仿，所以simulate的意思是“模仿二2.C 细节理解题。根据第三E殳中的“This isnt because he walks around.by moving his tongue against the roof of his mouth.”可知,Kish通过舌头抵住上颗发出的尖锐的咔嗒声来定位自己所在的位置。3.B细节理解题。根据第六段可知,人们甚至能够听到非常微弱的回声，由此可知人类的回声定位能力 比我们想象的要好。4 .C细节理解题。根据文章

27、最后一句话可知,向盲人教授回声定位技术可以为他们提供探索新地方的 方法，即回声定位法可以为盲人开启新的可能性。5 .A主旨大意题。文章介绍了蝙蝠的回声定位法被人类利用，研究发现人类也具有回声定位的能力，这 种能力可以为盲人服务,科学家对盲人使用回声定位进行了研究。所以本文主要介绍了一项对盲人使用 回声定位法的研究。Passage 3Pandas are famously picky eaters. They only consume bamboo-a poor quality diet low in fat. But the creatures appear to have evolved t

28、o get the most out of what they do eat, according to a new study.Their gut （肠道）bacteria change in late spring and early summer when bamboo is at its most nutritious一 while protein-rich green shoots are coming out. The bacteria make the panda gain more weight and store more fat, which researchers sai

29、d may compensate fbr a lack of nutrients later in the year, when bamboo plants have only fibrous leaves to chew.“Weve known these pandas have a different set of gut microbiota during the shoot-eating season for a long time, and its very obvious that they are chubbier during this time of the year, sa

30、id lead study author Guangping Huang, a researcher for the Institute of Zoology at the Chinese Academy of Sciences.To investigate how the gut bacteria could affect a pandas digestion, the team first collected the waste of eight wild giant pandas in Chinas Qinling Mountains during both the leaf-eatin

31、g season and the shoot-eating season and then examined how the waste samples differed. They found a bacterium called Clostridium butyricum was more abundant in the pandas guts during the season when they enjoy the fresh bamboo shoots. To understand whether this bacterium helps the pandas gain and st

32、ore weight, the researchers put the panda waste they collected into lab mice. Then they fed the mice for three weeks with a bamboo-based diet that simulated （模仿）what pandas eat. Researchers found the mice that were transplanted with panda waste collected during the shoot-eating season gained signifi

33、cantly more weight than the ones that were not, despite consuming the same amount of food.“The gut bacteria were the only variable （变量）in this research,Wei Fuwen, a co-author of the study, explained. However, Felix Sommer at Christian-Albrechts-University in Kiel, Germany, noted the number of pandas

34、 studied was small and that the experiment had only been performed once. Sommer also stressed the researchers had found a link, not a causal relationship between the bacteria and weight gain.1 .When do pandas get more weight with the change of their gut bacteria? A.In late spring.B.In late summer.C.

35、In early autumn.D.In early winter.2 .What does the underlined word “chubbier in Paragraph 3 mean?A.Smaller.B.Slimmer. C.Taller. D.Fatter.3 .What can we learn from the experiment on mice? A.The experiment lasted for less than three weeks.B.Researchers collected bacteria from the lab mice.C.Panda wast

36、e has a vital effect on mices weight.D.Different amounts of food led to an increase in weight. 4.What is the best title for the text?A.Studies on Eating Habits of Pandas B.Functions of Pandas Gut Bacteria C.Characteristics of Pandas Daily Diet 0.Arguments over Pandas Digestion System 兹安 口语篇解读本文为说明文。

37、一项新的研究表明:大熊猫的肠道细菌有助于它们最大限度地吸收竹子中 的营养。1 .A细节理解题。根据第二段中的“它们的肠道细菌在竹子最富营养的春末和夏初时节发生改变.此时 正是竹子富含蛋白质的绿芽长出来的时候。这种细菌可使大熊猫体重增加并储存更多的脂肪”可知春 末和夏初是大熊猫体重增加的时候。故选A。2 .D猜测词义题。根据第三段中画线单词的前文“我们知道在食芽季节这些大熊猫体内很长一段时间 内有着不同的肠道菌群二再结合第二段第二句（这种细菌可使大熊猫体重增加）可知,大熊猫在吃了 竹子嫩芽之后体重增加,会更胖（fatter）,故选D。3 .C推理判断题。根据第五段最后一句（研究人员发现被移植了食

38、芽季节收集的熊猫粪便的小鼠比那 些未移植的小鼠体重显著增加，尽管进食了相同数量的食物）可知C项（熊猫粪便对小鼠体重有重要影 响）正确。4 .B主旨要义题。根据第一段最后一句（但是根据一项新的研究，大熊猫似乎已经进化了,可以充分利用 它们所吃的东西）以及第二段提到大熊猫的肠道细菌使它们体重增加可知，本文主要讲述大熊猫的肠道 细菌有助于它们最大限度地吸收竹子中的营养。故B项符合文章主旨。Passage 4Making a career out of building with Lego bricks sounds like a dream job.
