A
Researchers have found that men and women consumed 15% more calories when looking at their phones while eating. They also eat more fatty food. The groundbreaking study suggests that staring at a phone screen may distract dinners from how much food they are actually eating. “It may prevent the correct understanding of the brain over the amount of food ingested,” said researchers who filmed 62 volunteers eating alone.
The men and women, aged 18 to 28, were invited to help themselves to a choice of food –ranging from healthy options to soft drinks and chocolate –until they
3
were satisfied. In three trials, the volunteers were recorded eating no distractions, using a smart-phone or reading a magazine.
On average the volunteers ate 535 calories without the distraction of a smart-phone but 591 when using a mobile. Those in the sample who were classed as overweight ate 616 calories while using their phones. When in possession of their mobiles, the volunteers also consumed 10 percent more. They also eat more when reading a magazine
“Smartphone use during a meal increased calorie and fat intake,” said Marcia Gilberto, a lead author of study carried out at the federal University of Lavras in Brazil and University Medical Center Utrecht in the Netherlands. He added: “Tablets and smartphones have become the main “distractors” during meals, even early in childhood, so it is important to pay attention to how this may impact food choices.”
21. Why people would eat more when looking at the phone while eating. A. Looking at the phone makes people at ease.
B. Staring at the phone improves the eaters’ appetite for food. C. Food becomes more delicious when the diners look at the phone.
D. Staring at the phone may distract diners from the amount of food ingested. 22. In the experiment, how many calories do the overweight eat without the distraction of a smart-phone?
A. about 616 B. about 560 C. about 591 D. about 535 23. What’s the main idea of this passage?
A. Staring at a phone screen may distract eaters’ attention.
B. Using a smart-phone at mealtimes can lead to an expanding waistline. C. To call on people to put their smart-phone down while eating. D. Reducing calories is very important for people’s health. 21~23.DBB

Memory expert Professor Jemima Gryaznov answers your most common questions about memory.
1. ____________
We remember the things that have strong connections in our mind, especially emotional connections. Childhood memories are often very emotional: we experience things for the first time so we have strong feelings of fear or excitement. Retelling events also helps to fix them in our memories and interesting or funny stories from our childhood are often told again and again!
2. Do some people really have a photographic memory?
It is well known that some people have an extraordinary memory. Daniel Tammet, for example, can remember the first 22,500 digits of pi and Stephen Wiltshire can draw a detailed picture of a city from memory after flying over it in a helicopter. However, neither Daniel nor Stephen have a photographic memory. They are good at remembering particular things for a limited time. A person with a photographic memory could remember every detail of a picture, a book or an event many years later. No one has yet proved that they have a photographic memory in a scientific test.
3. Is computer memory better than human memory?
That depends on what you mean by ‘better’! Information in a computer is stored in separate pieces. Human memory is stored in a different way. Each piece of information is connected to many other pieces. That’s why a particular smell can bring back memories of a holiday or a person. The problem with human memory is that it is messy and not very accurate. The problem with computer memory is that it can’t make connections between pieces of information—it isn’t creative.
5
4. I’m 24. Is my memory getting worse?
Not yet, but it will do soon. Our memory reaches its full power at the age of 25. At that point we can remember up to 200 pieces of information a second. After this age, however, the brain starts to get smaller. By the age of 40 we are losing 10,000 brain cells every day. By middle age our memory is significantly worse than when we were young.
5. Is it possible to remember early childhood?
Scientists used to believe that it was impossible to remember very early childhood, but recent research shows that babies are much cleverer than we previously thought. Some people really can remember being a baby. Others, however, remember nothing before the age of five or even ten!
24. Which of the following questions best fits the blank in the passage?
A. What can we do to improve our memory as we grow older?
B. Can childhood memories help us remember what has happened recently? C. How do we establish emotional connections with our childhood experiences? D. Why can I remember events in my childhood but not what happened last week? 25. What can we learn about photographic memory?
A. Only some of us can benefit from it.
B. There is no reliable evidence that it exists. C. We cannot acquire it without specialized training. D. It enables us to remember details in a limited time.
26. Which of the following statements is True according to the passage?
A. In most cases information is separately stored in human memory. B. Human’s ability to memorize things declines as the brain gets smaller. C. Computer memory is better than human memory from many perspectives. D. Whether we can remember our early-childhood needs more scientific research. 24—26 DBB
C
As every mobile-phone owner knows, after a year or so the battery starts to fade
6
and the beast needs recharging more frequently. That is a nuisance, but a phone’s batteries can be replaced fairly cheaply or the whole handset traded in for the latest model. An electric car, however, is a much bigger investment. Batteries are its priciest component, representing around 30% of an average of mid-size vehicle. Apart from increasing the risk of running out of juice and leaving a driver stranded, a deteriorating battery quickly destroys a car’s second-hand value.
To provide buyers with some peace of mind, car makers guarantee their batteries, typically for eight years or around 200,000 km. Producers are now, though, planning to go much further than that, with the launch of “million-mile” (1.6km-kilometre) batteries. Elon Musk has hinted that Tesla has a million-mile battery in the works. And over in Detroit, General Motors (GM) is in the final stages of developing an advanced battery which it says has similar longevity.
“It’s a great catchphrase; the million-mile battery,” says George Crabtree, director of the Joint Centre for Energy Storage Research at Argonne National Laboratory, near Chicago. “But the fact that you can drive a million miles may not be the most relevant parameter to look at.” Regular fast-charging reduces battery life, as do overcharging and deep discharging. Driving in extremely hot or cold weather doesn’t help either. And battery life will diminish even if you just leave the car in the garage. The real point of a million-mile battery is that the technological advances required to make it possible will deal with these things as well.
The lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries which power electric cars age in two ways: with time and with use. Battery-makers-call time-dependent ageing “calendar ageing”. It is consequence of the gradual degradation of some of the materials employed in battery construction, which reduces a battery’s ability to hold a charge. Leaving a car with a fully rather than partly charged battery, for example, can increase the rate of calendar ageing. Use-dependent ageing is a consequence of the number of discharge-recharge cycles a battery goes through. It is caused by the complex chemical reactions that take place when a battery is operating. Some of these are essential to a battery’s job of storing and releasing energy.
7
Battery technology is improving all the time. As a consequence, so are calendar and use-dependent lifetimes. Getting direct experience of how electric cars are used is helping researchers come up with ways to mitigate (缓和) some of the side reactions, says Tim Grewe, the head of GM’s electrification strategy. The company employs remote “telematics” monitoring to keep track of how batteries are performing in its cars, and also takes back some batteries from high-mileage drivers and those living in extreme environments, such as deserts and mountainous regions, for analysis.
Dealing with impurities that get into batteries helps to extend their lives. Water, for example, reacts with salts in the electrolyte to form an acid, which attacks the electrodes. To prevent this, GM has developed an addictive made from a type of material called a zeolite. Zeolites are molecular sponges. GM’s version serves to mop up any moisture which enters a battery cell.
Adding a little aluminium to a nickelcobalt-manganese cathode, a type that is widely used in Li-ion batteries, save on cobalt, the most expensive ingredient in a battery. But the aluminium delivers other benefits as well. It boosts the battery's energy density, meaning a car can travel farther on a single charge. It also make the battery last longer.
As a marketing device, the million-mile battery will give electric-car buyers more confidence that their batteries are robust. And by no means are million-mile batteries the limit of engineers’ aspirations. The next objective is to replace Li-ions’ liquid electrolytes with solid ones. That would keep the ions under stricter control and allow even longer driving ranges. This could make a two million-mile battery a feasible objective. If that day comes, the tables would have been turned. From being the first part of a car to fail, its battery will have come the last.
27. What does the underlined sentence in the first paragraph mean?
A. It is more profitable to invest in an electric car than in a mobile phone. B. Spending more money on an electric car can increase its second hand value. C. It’s much more costly to replace the failed batteries of an electric car
8
with new ones.
D. Compared with electric cars, batteries are of less importance to mobile phones.
28. According to the passage, which of the following is the least likely to reduce an electric car’s battery life?
A. Unplugging an electric car once it’s fully charged. B. Often charging the car in “fast” mode to save time. C. Driving an electric car on sweltering summer days. D. Leaving the car in the parking lot for a long time.
29. Which of the following is FALSE regarding the measures researchers take to prolong a battery’s lifetime?
A. Monitoring and studying batteries’ performance in long-distance traveling. B. Adding zeolite to encourage the acidifying chemical reaction in the battery. C. Using aluminium to improve the battery’s performance enabling the car to travel farther.
D. Keeping the battery partly charged to reduce its rate of “calendar ageing”. 30. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that__________.
A. The current technology enables an electric car to drive a million miles on a single charge
B. Electric car engineers are always on the go to develop batteries with greater longevity
C. Policies on the choice of battery materials will be tightened to control the traveling range
D. Drivers of future electric cars will no longer be worried about battery failure 27~30 . CABB 【解析】

Firstly, go to the grocery store bright and early when they’re just opening. This might be your best option. By avoiding large groups of people, ____32____, as the virus is mainly spread through close contact with other people.
10
One of the easiest ways to spread the virus is by touching a contaminated surface and then touching your face, eyes, nose, or mouth. ____33____. This is a lot harder than it sounds, because people touch their faces more than 20 times in a single hour. While a mask can help prevent you from touching your mouth and nose, it is strongly recommended to wear one.
____34____. This may be as simple as avoiding a crowded aisle and circling back a few minutes later. Since other shoppers might not be as mindful as you are about maintaining social distance, be polite in your request that they keep their distance with a polite “excuse me.”
Just as you’re being thoughtful about your own health, be thoughtful about the health of others, suggests Dr. Larkin. “____35____, see if you can shop for them or teach them to use an online and delivery option,” she says. “Be patient and kind with one another, especially the workers keeping the stores open and functioning—and of course, if you are ill, please stay home and don’t expose others.” A.
you decrease your risk of becoming infected
B. If you have an elderly neighbor who needs help C. you had better stay at home instead of going out D. As a result, avoid touching your face while shopping E. As a result, you should wear a mask when you go shopping
F. Moreover, try to maintain a safe, six-foot distance from other shoppers G. Before you head out to one, you need some guidelines to ensure your safety 【答案】31. G 32. A 33. D 34. F 35. B 【解析】

这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了在深造之前休学一年来获得对以后生活有帮助的技能，介绍了在这期间可以从事的一些有益的活动，以及人们对此的看法。 【56题详解】
考察定语从句。句意：在你继续深造之前休学一年并不是一个新概念，这一概念如今的重点是充分利用学术生活中的这段时间。此处为非性定语从句修饰先行词concept，且先行词在从句中作主语，指物，故应用关系代词which引导，that不能引导非性定语从句。故填which。 【57题详解】
考察动词时态。句意：虽然这也是一种选择，但空档年更多是为了获得对以后生活有帮助的技能。根据后文“in later life”可知表示将来的动作应用一般将来时。故填will help。 【58题详解】
考察动词时态语态。句意：做一些有成效的事情正是学生们被鼓励去做的，因为做一些更有目的性的事情，比方工作经历或慈善工作，可以帮助他们获得在大学竞争中要用到技能。根据上文is可知为一般现在时，且从句中主语与谓语动词构成被动关系，故应用一般现在时的被动语态，主语为students，谓语动词用复数。故填are encouraged。 【59题详解】
考察省略句。句意：做一些有成效的事情正是学生们被鼓励去做的，因为做一些更有目的性的事情，比方工作经历或慈善工作，可以帮助他们获得在大学竞争中要用到的技能。when引导状语从句时，常省略和主句相同的主语和从句中的be动词，结合语境从句为现在进展时，从句完整为when(students are) competing for a place at university。故填competing。 【60题详解】
考察介词。句意：尽管休空档年有其好处，一些学生担忧他们负担不起。结合句意表示“尽管”应用介词despite，句首单词首字母要大写。故填Despite。 【61题详解】
考察冠词。句意：一位名叫汤姆的学生告诉BBC，对他来说，空档年是一个“陌生的概念”。concept是可数名词，此处表泛指应用不定冠词，且alien是发音以元音音素开头的单词，应用an。故填an。 【62题详解】
16
考察形容词。句意：你不需要去很远的地方，你甚至可以通过做有偿工作来赚钱。修饰后文work，表示“有偿的”应用形容词paid，作定语。故填paid。 【63题详解】

阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
Are You Ready for Your Exam?
So, it’s the exam time again -- have you done the necessary work to get good marks? Sleeping with the textbook under the pillow (枕头) in the hope that knowledge will be magically absorbed into your brain as you sleep doesn’t work. The best strategy is to space your practice out, rather than cram (死记硬背) it all together. It means hit the books early!
In an article in the British newspaper The Guardian, Tom Stafford, a lecturer in psychology at the University of Sheffield, UK, advises: “If you organize five hours of study into one hour a day, you’ll remember more than if you study for five hours on one day.”
Don’t rely on memory alone -- get pen and paper and start working. Students who can test themselves in advance will be better at getting back material from their memory and learn that material in the long run. John Dunlosky, Professor of Psychology at Kent State University in the US, suggests that “you start by reading
18
a textbook using your favourite highlighter (荧光笔) and favourite colours, but then you go back and make flashcards of all the critical concepts and instead of just rereading those, you basically try to test yourselves on them.”
Good revision should give you confidence, but if you are still anxious, there’s no harm in indulging (放任) in a personal routine. In Japan, it seems to be a tradition for students to eat Katsudon before a test. This is a warm bowl of rice topped with egg and a deep-fried pork cutlet. The name of the dish reminds people of the word ‘katsu’, meaning ‘winning’.
For some students in South Korea, the key to success is not washing their hair before sitting an exam because they believe they could wash all the knowledge out of their head. And in different parts of the world there are always those who swear by their ‘lucky underwear’.
The bottom line is that you need to study, sleep well on the eve of the test, eat a nutritious meal, drink plenty of water and believe that your efforts will pay off. Good luck in your exam!

M: Kate, don’t make noise. This football match is great. W: I think you should turn off the TV. Both John and I are preparing for the final exam. Text2
M: You know, Jason can play tennis, swim, play soccer… but I can’t.
W: It doesn’t matter. I mean, you can play the guitar, play basketball, cook and even speak three languages. You are great. Text 3
M: When will the meeting begin?
W: According to the schedule, it should start at 9:30, and it will last for an hour and a half. Text 4
M: Did you get to watch the play Sunshine in the Capital Theater yesterday? W: Yes, it couldn’t be better. But I didn’t like the people there. They always made noises. Text 5
M: It’s raining again. The weather report says it’s going to snow tonight. I don’t like this kind of weather. W: But it’s going to be sunny this weekend. Text 6
M: Can you give me a ride to the library?
W: Studying at the library again? I take just as many classes as you do, but I only have about an hour of studying to do every day. And I can get all my work done either here at home or at the café down the road.
M: Well, I’m majoring in physics. I have several projects due each month, and that’s
20
after I spend ten or fifteen hours a week in the lab. You’re a psychology major. You have one midterm and one final exam for each class, right? W: Yeah… M: You’ve got it so easy! Text 7
M: Hi, Jenny. Are you going to school now? W: Yup. I have English at 9:00 in the morning.
M: We will have our midterm exams next month. I plan to look for some important books in the library. Do you want to join me? W: Sure. I need to return some books.
M: Great. We can go to the swimming pool in the gym after that. W: That sounds like a good idea. We can chill out a little in such a hot summer. Text 8
W: Oh, you look ill.
M: I don’t feel too good. I must admit. W: Then you shouldn’t go to school today.
M: Oh, I have to. I can’t stay at home today — we’ve got to hand in our geography projects. It’s the last chance. And it’s just a cold. You always feel worse when you first get up. I’ll be fine once I’ve had a wash and a bit of breakfast. W: It won’t hurt to miss a day. You look very pale, and there’s a flu virus going round at the moment. Ella next door has got flu.
M: I haven’t got the flu, mom. And Mr. Bell will think that I’m absent because today’s the deadline for the project and I haven’t finished it.
W: Don’t be silly — you’re one of his star pupils. Surely, he’s not going to
21
fail you because you are ill. You haven’t even missed a day all year as far as I remember.
M: Oh well, I suppose you’re right. Perhaps I will stay at home, just today. But could you do me a favor? Drive round to school and deliver my project to Mr. Bell. W: It’s quite unnecessary. I will call Mr. Bell right now. Text 9
M: I have such a busy day today. I don’t know when I’ll be home. Can you pick up our son from school today? W: Oh, you have to speak at the High School of Science and Technology today?
M: That’ll be finished by 3 o’clock. But then I have to go to the office and prepare my notes for my speech at the Computer Society’s annual dinner tonight. W: Well, at least your magazine article has already been written and given to your editor. It was due today, wasn’t it?
M: Yes, at least that’s done. In fact, it should be published sometime next month. W: Do you think you’ll be given time to eat tonight or will you have to spend the entire evening answering questions?
M: I might be asked to speak as soon as everyone sits down for dinner. In that case, I guess I’ll be pretty hungry when I get home. W: Do you have any idea what time you’ll be finished? M: No.
W: Well, I’ll have something ready for you to eat. Can you catch the last bus? Or maybe you should take a taxi. M: Don’t worry, dear. That’s already been taken care of. The Computer Society is sending a car for me. It’s picking me up at the office at six and will bring me home after the meeting. Text 10
M: Pedal Power is a small charity based mainly in the UK. At Pedal Power, they collect second-hand bikes in the UK and send them to some of the poorest regions in the world. When they distribute bikes overseas, they don’t give them away for free.
22
In order to continue operating they need to have a constant supply of bikes which they send out every six months. In August 2000, they simply ran out of money. It was a terrible situation. Fortunately, in October 2001 they won an Enterprise Award which helped them enormously.
Dan Pearman is the founder of Pedal Power. He got the idea of exporting bicycles to developing countries while he was in Ecuador. Dan Pearman went there in 1993 and he joined a voluntary organization. Where Dan Pearman lived in Ecuador was a rural area. His neighbor had the only bicycle in the village, whereas everyone else walked everywhere. His neighbor’s business was very successful. For years Dan Pearman couldn’t understand why. Then he realized having a bike meant his neighbor could reach anywhere he liked without much trouble. Other local carpenters could only accept jobs nearby, so no matter how skilled they were, they could never do as many jobs as his neighbor. When he returned to the UK in 1998, he started planning Pedal Power.
