A

The tree people in the Lord of the Rings—the Ents—can get around by walking. But for real trees, well, it's harder to uproot. "Because it's a sessile organism, literally, rooted into the ground, it is unable to leave and go elsewhere." Mario Pesendorfer, a behavioral ecologist at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. "When a tree first starts growing in a certain area, it's likely that the climatic envelope, so the temperature, humidity, soil composition and so on suits it, because it would otherwise be unable to grow from a seedling. But as it ages, these conditions may change and the area around it may no longer be suitable for its offspring."

And if that happens? Walnuts, hazelnuts, chestnuts, oaks, pines—many rely exclusively on so-called "scatter-hoarders," like birds, to move their hefty seeds to new locales. "Many members of the family Corvidae—the crows, jays and magpies—are scatter-hoarders, meaning they like to store food for the winter, which they then subsequently retrieve."

Or not. And when they do forget something, a seedling has a chance to grow, sometimes a good distance away. "The Clark's nutcracker, which is found in alpine regions of western North America, is definitely the rock star among the scatter-hoarding corvids. They hide up to 100,000 seeds per year, up to 30 kilometers away from the seed source, and have a very close symbiotic relationship with several pine species, most notably the whitebark pine.”

Pesendorfer and his colleagues catalogue the seed-scattering activities of the Clark's nutcracker and its cousins in a new review paper, in the journal The Condor: Ornithological Applications. They also write that, as trees outgrow their ideal habitats in the face of climate change, or battle new insects and disease, these flying ecosystem engineers could be a big help replanting trees. It's a solution, Pesendorfer says, that's good for us—getting birds to do the work is cheap and effective— and it could give vulnerable oaks and pines the option to truly "make like

a tree and leave."

56. According to the article, what makes birds help trees move from one place to another?

________.

A. They want to make the environment better for survival

B. They want to change the trees into another kind

C. They want to store the nuts for winter survival

D. They are forced to help trees to survive

57. Which does the underlined word in the last paragraph mean? ________.

A. growing in a better way

B. being forced to give up

C .making changes to D. finding a mysterious way to survive

58. What is the best title of this passage? ________.

A. Birds may help trees cope with climate change

D. Birds make trees in danger

B

One hundred years ago, "Colored" was the typical way of referring to Americans of African descent. Twenty years later, it was purposefully dropped to make way for "Negro." By the late 1960s, that term was overtaken by "Black." And then, at a press conference in Chicago in 1988, Jesse Jackson declared that "African American" was the term to welcome. This one was chosen because it echoed the labels of groups, such as "Italian Americans" and "Irish Americans," that had already been freed of widespread discrimination.

A century's worth of calculated name changes point to the fact that naming any group is a politically freighted exercise. A 2001 study cataloged all the ways in which the term "Black" carried connotations (涵义) that were more negative than those of "African American."

But if it was known that "Black" people were viewed differently from "African Americans," researchers, until now, hadn't identified what that gap in perception was derived from. A recent study, conducted by Emory University's Erika Hall, found that "Black" people are viewed more negatively than "African Americans" because of a perceived difference in socioeconomic status. As a result, "Black" people are thought of as less competent and as having colder personalities.

The study's most striking findings shed light on the racial discriminations permeating the professional world. Even seemingly harmless details on a CV, it appears, can tap into recruiters'(招聘人员)discriminations. A job application might mention affiliations（关系）with groups such as the "Wisconsin Association of African-American Lawyers" or the "National Black Employees Association," the names of which apparently have consequences, and are also beyond their members' control.

In one of the study's experiments, subjects were given a brief description of a man from Chicago with the last name Williams. To one group, he was identified as "African-American," and another was told he was "Black." With little else to go on, they were asked to estimate Mr. Williams' salary, professional standing, and educational background.

The "African-American" group estimated that he earned about $ 37,000 a year and had a two-year college degree. The "Black" group, on the other hand, put his salary at about $ 29,000, and guessed that he had only "some" college experience. Nearly three-quarters of the first group guessed that Mr. Williams worked at a managerial level, while only 38.5 percent of the second group thought so.

Hall's findings suggest there's an argument to be made for electing to use "African American," though one can't help but get the sense that it's a decision that papers over the urgency of continued progress. Perhaps a new phrase is needed, one that can bring everyone one big step closer to realizing Du Bois' original, idealistic hope: "It's not the name-it's the Thing that counts."

59. We can conclude from Erika Hall's findings that________.

A. Racial discriminations are widespread in the professional world

B. Many applicants don't attend to details on their CVs

C. Job seekers should all be careful- about their affiliations

D. Most recruiters are unable to control their racial biases

60. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?

A. Jesse Jackson embraced the term “African American” because it is free from discrimination.

B. The naming of any ethnic (种族) group is political sensitive.

C. Before the study conducted by Erika Hall, researchers had identified the causes of the gap in

perception of racial discrimination.

D. A man identified as “African American” is thought of as more capabl e than he is identified

as “Black”.

61. Erika Hall’s experiment about a man with the last name Williams indicates that ________.

A. African Americans fare better than many other ethnic groups

B. Black people's socioeconomic status in America remains low

C. People's conception of a person has much to do with the way he or she is labeled

D. One's professional standing and income are related to their educational background

62. From the underlined sentences in the last paragraph, we can know that Dr. Du Bois' hope is

________.

A. All Americans enjoy equal rights

B. A person is judged by their worth

C. A new term is created to address African Americans

D. All ethnic groups share the nation's continued progress

C

Garlic is one of the most common cooking ingredients around the world. Many dishes in Europe, Africa, Asia and the Americas use this strong-flavored vegetable.

Garlic is similar to other bulb-shaped plants, including onions, chives, leeks and scallions. But garlic is special. For centuries, people have used garlic not only for cooking, but also for medicine.

Medicinal garlic throughout time.

Researchers at the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center and Cornell University studied the medicinal use of garlic throughout history. They found references to garlic in ancient texts from Egypt, Greece, Rome, China and India.

For example, in ancient Greece and Rome, people considered garlic an aid to strength and endurance.

The original Olympic athletes in Greece ate garlic to improve their performance. The ancient Romans fed garlic to the soldiers and sailors.

Workers who built the pyramids in Egypt ate garlic. In fact, this is a theme throughout early history -- workers eating garlic to increase their strength.

Some researchers in China have gone so far as to call hydrogen sulfide the key to a longer life.

__________________!

In a 2007 study, researchers at the University of Alabama at Birmingham studied how garlic

increased hydrogen sulfide and how that, in turn, affected red blood cells.

David Kraus led that study.

In 2013, scientists were finally able to see this process happen. Chemists Alexander Lippert of Southern Methodist University in Dallas and Vivian S. Lin discovered how to observe this process in living human cells.

Their discovery has opened the door to more research into the health benefits of garlic and the production of hydrogen sulfide in the body.

In a 2015 experiment at Penn State University, researchers injected a solution that would create hydrogen sulfide in the arms of healthy young adults. They wanted to see what hydrogen sulfide would do to a small area of blood vessels.

The initial findings are that hydrogen sulfide widened blood vessels, which then increased the flow of blood. These researchers plan to continue their research. They published their findings in The Journal of Physiology.

Older garlic may be even healthier.

But let’s leave the laboratory and go to the kitchen. Don’t throw out older garlic that has sprouted. You may have thought that garlic growing light green sprouts was past its prime or old and on its way to the trash bin.

But not so fast.

Scientists have reported in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry that this older garlic has even more properties that are good for our bodies than fresh garlic. When researchers tested garlic that had sprouted for five days, they found it had higher antioxidant activity than fresher bulbs of garlic.

Also, to get the full effect of garlic’s health benefits, do not add it to food or cook with it immediately. Cutting, crushing or mincing garlic releases the healthy compound found in the vegetable. But heating the garlic or adding it to other ingredients prevents the release of this healthy compound. So cut or crush or mince the garlic, and let it rest by itself for a couple minutes.

So, are there any downsides to garlic? Well, the same reason garlic is good for us and good in dishes -- that strong sulfur odor -- is the same reason it gives us bad breath.

But there might be a cure for that, too. Yet another study found that eating an apple or lettuce after eating garlic cuts down on the strong garlic smell on one’s breath.

63. According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true?

A. Garlic can be used not only for cooking, but also for medicine.

B. Workers would eat garlic to increase their strength in the past.

C. Garlic growing light green sprouts was past its prime or old and should be thrown to the

trash bin.

D. Heating the garlic or adding it to other ingredients would reduce the health benefit of

garlic.

64. Which sentence could be filled in the blanks?

A. So many studies on garlic

B. Medicinal garlic throughout time

C. Garlic is such a healthy food

D. Study about garlic

65. Where can you probably find the text?

A. In a popular magazine.

B. In a story book.

C. In a biology textbook.

D. In a health report.

A new survey reviews that more than 60% of websites and apps intended for Canadian children may be collecting personal information and passing it on to a third party. The survey was completed by the Global Privacy Enforcement Network, which reviewed 1,494 websites and apps.

Focusing on trends among Canadian users, the sweep team reviewed 118 websites and apps targeted directly at children, as well as 54 that are known to be popular with and used by kids. The team’s findings showed that more than 50% of Canadian sites collect personal information from children, including names, addresses, phone numbers and photos, audio or video. In addition, 62% of sites admitted they may show that personal information to third parties. An other 62% allowed the user to be redirected to a different site, and only 28% of the sites and apps involved any form of parental control or protection.

A member of the team Tobi Cohen, outlined a few of the sites that did and did not live up to the standards of children’s privacy online. She praised both Family.ca and https://www.docsj.com/doc/9516032040.html, for their message boards that did not allow users to post personal information, and noted that santasvillage. ca asked users to provide their full name and email address. https://www.docsj.com/doc/9516032040.html, was also singled out for allowing users to display personal information, including names, age, sex and locations. https://www.docsj.com/doc/9516032040.html,, on the other hand, was praised for only offering generic, pre-set avatars（头像）and barring users form uploading personal photos.

The Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada refused to release a full list of the websites and apps reviewed. When asked what would be done with results, commissioner Daniel Therrien said that companies reviewed in th e sweep would be kept informed of the findings. “ It’s our usual practice after conducting a sweep to write a number of companies to point out the things that we’ve seen, to sometimes ask that things be changed, and on the whole the companies react positiv ely to these requests.” Therrien added.

In an attempt to help kids better understand why their privacy matters, the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada has created a lesson plan for kids in Grade 7 and 8 that explains the Global Privacy Enforcements Network and has kids conduct privacy reviews of their own.

“We know that companies are not the only ones responsible for the protection of kids’ privacy.” Therrien said.“ Parents and teachers obviously have a role. We have a role, particularly in the a rea of increasing awareness of privacy issues among the public.”

Matthew Johnson, director of education at Media Smarts, said that the sweep’s results were sadly unsurprising. Media Smarts, an Ottawa-based non-profit digital literacy outfit intended to improve media literacy and empowering the youth to better engage with media, offers age-appropriate tips to parents concerned with keeping their kids sage online.

Johnson explained that in addition to educating themselves on the issue, the best thing parents could do to protect children’s privacy online is to educate kids on the importance the function of their personal data. He mentioned an initiative by Media Smarts called Privacy Pirates, an online game that aims to teach kids at the age of seven to nine that all forms of personal information should be protected and added that their personal information has value and they should think twice before giving it out.

66. We can conclude from the data mentioned in Paragraph 2 that ________.

A. parents must be t o blame for letting out their kids’ privacy

B. the time that children spend on he Internet should be limited

C. more children have realized the importance of personal privacy

D. more attention should be paid to the protection of kids’ privacy

67. Which of the following websites doesn’t require kids to provide personal information?

A. Family.ca.

B. https://www.docsj.com/doc/9516032040.html,.

C. https://www.docsj.com/doc/9516032040.html,.

D. santasvillage.ca.

68. What will most of the companies do when receiving a request from the sweep team?

A. They will help kids better understand why their privacy matters.

B. They will ask the team never to make their website public.

C. They will ask for further information about the research.

D. They will take some measures actively in response.

69. Daniel Therrien seems to stress in Paragraph 6 that ________.

A. the team should develop a good relationship with the companies

B. the protection of kid’s privacy involves joint efforts from adults

C. the public is unaware if their role in pro tecting kids’ privacy

D. the sweep team’s work is worth nothing without parents’ help

70. According to Johnson, parents should ________.

A. guide their kids to play online games

B. get kids to know the value of their privacy

C. set a good example to their kids in daily life

D. think twice before giving personal information out

第Ⅱ卷(非选择题共35分)

第四部分：任务型阅读(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)

请认真阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意：每个空格只填1个单词。

In China, as in many countries, the north－south divide runs deep. People from the north are seen as hale and hearty, while southerners are often portrayed as cunning, cultured traders. Northerners are taller than southerners. The north eats noodles, while the south eats rice—and according to new research, when it comes to personality, that difference has meant everything.

A study published Friday by a group of psychologists in the journal Science finds that China’s noodle－slurping northerners are more independent, show more “analytic thought” and divorce more frequently. By contrast, the authors write, rice－eating southerners show more qualities traditionally associated with East Asian culture, including more “holistic thought” and lower divorce rates.

The reason? Cultivating rice, the authors say, is a lot harder. Picture a rice paddy, its delicate seedlings tucked in a bed of water. They require careful tending and many hours of labor—by some estimates, twice as much as wheat—as well as reliance on irrigation systems that require neighborly cooperation. As the authors write, for southerners growing rice, “strict self－reliance might have meant starvation”.

Growing wheat, by contrast, the north’s staple grain, is much simpler. One Chinese farming guide from the 1600s quoted in the study advised aspiring farmers that “if one i s short of labor power, it is best to grow wheat.”

To produce their findings, the authors evaluated the attitudes of 1，162 Han Chinese students in Beijing and Liaoning in the north and in Fujian, Guangdong, Yunnan and Sichuan in the south. To control for other factors that distinguish the north and south—such as climate, dialect and contact with herding cultures—the authors also analyzed differences between various neighboring counties in five central provinces along China’s rice－wheat border.

According to the authors, the influence of rice cultivation can help explain East Asia’s “strangely persistent interdependence”. For example, they say South Korea and Japan have

remained less individualistic than Western countries, even as they’ve grown wealthier.

The authors aren’t alone in observing the influence various crops have on shaping culture. Malcolm Gladwell in his 2008 book Outliers also drew connections between a hard－working ethic (measured by a willingness to fill out long, boring questionnaires) and a historical tradition of rice cultivation in places such as South Korea and Japan, given that the farming of such crops is arguably an equally boring chore.

Title: How China’s North－South Divide Has Influence on (71)______ Personality

The other day, BBC broadcast its documentary(纪录片) “Are Our Kids Tough Enough? —Chinese School”, in which the British and Chinese teaching styles competed against each other, with both sides tested after four weeks to see who comes out on top.

In this unique experiment, five Chinese teachers took over a British classroom with 50 teenagers aged 13 and 14 in a British school for one month and taught them in a typical Chinese way: no talking, no questions and experiencing the severe classroom discipline within an extended school－hour from 7 a. m. to 7 p. m. In the meantime, another group of students were guided in the British teaching style: free talking, free questioning, thinking for themselves and relaxing learning atmosphere.

At the end of the documentary, all the pupils took part in the same exams in a few subjects. Next is the result.

动、强调质量胜过数量的世界制造业强国。分析句子成分可知，空格处应为同位语，指代上文的a world manufacturing power，为泛指，故one符合题意。one表泛指，相当于a/an+名词，只能代替可数名词单数，既可代替事物也可代替人；而the one表特指。

22. A 考查名词。句意：在11月11日，阿里巴巴在其电子商务平台淘宝网和天猫上销售了价值超过900亿元的商品，成为世界各地的头条新闻。worth意为“价值，用处”；sum意为“款项，金额”；value意为“价值，用处”，常与or而不是for搭配；profit意为“利润，收益，盈利”。

23. C 考查定语从句。

句意：年轻人可能喜欢雪和寒冬，但是对于我这种年纪的人来说，这样的天气是非常难熬的；雪会变成冰，很容易使人滑倒。people my age为固定短语，意为“我这种年纪的人，我的同龄人”。分号后含一个定语从句，先行词为ice，从句中缺少主语，结合句意可知which符合题意。

31. B 考查反义疑问句。句意：“政府已经采取了措施来控制明年的房价，是吗？”“是的。我

猜是这样的。”句中next year修饰the house prices，而不是整个句子的时间状语。“情态动词+have done”表示推测时，若句中没有明显的过去时间状语，问句部分动词用现在完成时形式，故选B。

32. D 考查主谓一致。句意：人为错误而不是自然灾难要对这么多无辜的人在深圳一家工业园的山体滑坡中死亡负责。分析句子成分可知，本题为强调句，被强调部分为句子的主语。根据主语human errors可知本题的谓语动词为复数形式，故are to blame符合题意。be to blame for sth. 为固定短语，意为“对……负责，为……受到责备”。

第三部分阅读理解

A

【文章大意】本文是科普文，现实生活当中的树木却很难连根拔除，移植到别处。但科学家发现了最好的搬运工，让鸟类来帮我们播种，利用高效廉价的劳动力。这样一来，那些脆弱的橡树和松树也就有机会远走他乡。

56. C 细节理解题。

【关键句】第二段：And if that happens? Walnuts, hazelnuts, chestnuts, oaks, pines—many rely exclusively on so-called "scatter-hoarders," like birds, to move their hefty seeds to new locales. "Many members of the family Corvidae—the crows, jays and magpies—are scatter-hoarders, meaning they like to store food for the winter, which they then subsequently retrieve."

【解题思路】根据第二段的内容可知：一些鸟类会将树木笨重的果实带到别的地方。他们平时喜欢囤积食物，入冬后再拿来填饱肚子。有些囤货，忘了，于是乎生根发芽，安居在老远的地方。故选C项。

57. B 词义猜测题。

【关键句】第四段第二，三句：They also write that, as trees outgrow their ideal habitats in the face of climate change, or battle new insects and disease, these flying ecosystem engineers could

be a big help replanting trees. It's a solution,

【解题思路】根据划线后的可知如果树木理想的生长环境发生了气候变化或者病虫害，这些大自然的搬运工就会在移植的时候帮上大忙。故推知划线词表示被迫放弃的意思。故选B 项。

58. A 主旨大意题。

【关键句】全文

【解题思路】本文是科普文，现实生活当中的树木却很难连根拔除，移植到别处。但科学家发现了最好的搬运工，让鸟类来帮我们播种，利用高效廉价的劳动力。这样一来，那些脆弱的橡树和松树也就有机会远走他乡。故最佳答案是A项。

附全文翻译：

指环王中的树人族很轻易就能随处走动，但是现实生活当中的树木却很难连根拔除，移植到别处。来自康奈尔大学鸟类实验室的一位行为生物学家表示，因为树是一种固着生物，树如其名，根深蒂固，寸步难移。

一旦一棵树开始在某个地方生长，周围的气候就会变得适宜它的生长，比如温度、湿度、土壤成分等等。要不然，它也不会从一棵树种长成参天大树。但是，随着树龄增加，周围的环境可能会发生改变，不再适宜播种育苗。

那怎么办呢。很多树木，例如核桃、榛子、板栗、橡树和松树，都单纯依赖于大自然的搬运工，一些鸟类会将树木笨重的果实带到别的地方。很多鸦科鸟类都是大自然的搬运工，比如乌鸦、松鸦、喜鹊，他们平时喜欢囤积食物，入冬后再拿来填饱肚子。当然，鸟类也会忘了自己还有囤货，这些种子或许没被吃掉，于是乎生根发芽，安居在老远的地方。美国西北部高山地带，生活着一种星鸦，星鸦就是播种的好手。它们每年要收藏十万颗种子，在搬离果树三十公里，而且它们和一些松树共栖共生，其中最出名的就是白皮松。

生物学家在鸟类学期刊杂志上发表了一篇论文，对星鸦及其鸦科近亲的播种行为进行了整理归类。文章指出，如果树木理想的生长环境发生了气候变化或者病虫害，这些大自然的搬运工就会在移植的时候帮上大忙。生物学家表示，这确实是一个好办法，让鸟类来帮我们播种，利用高效廉价的劳动力。这样一来，那些脆弱的橡树和松树也就有机会远走他乡

B

【文章大意】本文是关于种族歧视的议论文, 文章探讨了非洲血统的美国人被称为“黑人”和“非裔美国人”时人们的不同态度。

59. A 细节理解题。

【关键句】第四段第一句：The study's most striking findings shed light on the racial discriminations permeating the professional world.

【解题思路】根据关键句可知研究最引人注目的发现揭示了种族歧视渗透职业界。故选A 项。

60. C 推理判断题。

【关键句】第三段第一句：But if it was known that "Black" people were viewed differently from "African Americans," researchers, until now, hadn't identified what that gap in perception was derived from.

【解题思路】根据上面的关键句可知但是，如果人们知道“黑人”与“非裔美国人”有着不同的看法，那么研究人员到目前为止还没有意识到这种差异是由何产生。故C项说在Erika Hall进行的研究之前，研究人员已经确定了种族歧视感知差距的原因。是不正确的。

61. C 推理判断题。

【关键句】第四段：The study's most striking findings shed light on the racial discriminations permeating the professional world. Even seemingly harmless details on a CV, it appears, can tap into recruiters'discriminations. A job application might mention affiliations（关系）with groups

such as the "Wisconsin Association of African-American Lawyers" or the "National Black Employees Association," the names of which apparently have consequences, and are also beyond their members' control.

【解题思路】根据第四段的研究最引人注目的发现揭示了种族歧视渗透职业界。即使在简历，看似无害的细节似乎可以挖掘到招聘人员歧视。求职可能会提到与族群的关系如“威斯康星裔美国律师协会”或“全国黑人雇员协会”的名称显然有后果，也超出了他们的成员的控制。下一段举例受试者被简要地描述了一个来自芝加哥的人，姓威廉姆斯的例子说明一个人的概念与这个人被贴上标签的方式有关系。故选C项。

62. B 句意理解题。

【关键句】最后一段：Hall's findings suggest there's an argument to be made for electing to use "African American," though one can't help but get the sense that it's a decision that papers over the urgency of continued progress. Perhaps a new phrase is needed, one that can bring everyone one big step closer to realizing Du Bois' original, idealistic hope: "It's not the name-it's the Thing that counts."

【解题思路】根据文章最后一段：也许一个新的阶段是必要的，一个能让大家更靠近实现杜波依斯原创的，理想主义的希望：后面：不是名字重要，而是事情（价值）重要。”，他希望判断一个人不是根据名称而是根据这个人创造的价值来判断。故选B项。

【长难句分析】

A recent study, conducted by Emory University's Erika Hall, found that "Black" people are viewed more negatively than "African Americans" because of a perceived difference in socioeconomic status.（第三段第二句）

译文：埃默里大学的Erika Hall 进行的一项最近的研究发现，“黑人”比“非洲裔美国人”更为消极，因为社会经济地位的差异。

分析：本句是主从复合句。主句A recent study …found that…中含有动词过去分词作后置定语；found 的宾语从句中还有比较句型more…than…, 后面是because of 引导的原因状语。

C

【解题思路】根据关键句可知：科学家在《农业与食品化学》杂志上报道说，这种较老的大蒜比新鲜大蒜更有利于我们的身体。当研究人员测试了大蒜发芽了五天，他们发现它比新鲜大蒜的抗氧化活性较高。故C项错误。

64. A 段落大意题。

65. D 文章来源题。

【关键句】全文

【解题思路】这是一篇科普说明文。文章主要介绍多吃大蒜可以长寿。故有可能在有关健康的书籍上找到这本书，故选D项。

附全文翻译

大蒜是世界上最常见的烹饪原料之一。在欧洲，非洲，美洲和美洲的许多菜肴使用这种强烈味道的蔬菜。

大蒜是类似于其他灯泡状的植物，包括洋葱、韭菜、韭菜和葱。但大蒜是特别的。几个世纪以来，人们使用大蒜不仅用于烹饪，而且还用于医学。

一直以来大蒜用于药用。

斯隆- 凯特林癌症中心和康奈尔大学的研究人员研究了大蒜的药用历史。他们发现在埃及，希腊，罗马，中国和印度大蒜的参考古籍。

例如，在古代希腊和罗马，人们认为大蒜有助于力量和耐力。

原奥运运动员在希腊吃大蒜，以提高他们的表现。古罗马人把大蒜喂给士兵和水手。

在埃及建造金字塔的工人吃大蒜。事实上，这是整个早期历史的主题工人吃大蒜，以增加他们的实力。

中国的一些研究人员已经走的远，他们把硫化氢叫做延长生命的钥匙。

大蒜的研究！

在2007 项研究中，阿拉巴马大学伯明翰分校的研究人员研究了大蒜是如何增加硫化氢的，以及如何影响红细胞的。

David Kraus 领导这项研究。

在2013，科学家终于能够看到这个过程发生。达拉斯南卫理公会大学的化学家Alexander Lippert 和Vivian S. Lin 发现了如何在人类细胞观察这个过程。他们的发现为进一步研究大蒜的健康益处和体内硫化氢的产生打开了大门。在宾夕法尼亚州立大学的2015 个实验中，研究人员注射了一种能在健康年轻人的手臂中制造硫化氢的溶液。他们想知道硫化氢对小面积的血管有什么作用。最初的发现是硫化氢扩大了血管，从而增加了血液的流动。这些研究人员计划继续他们的研究。他们在生理学杂志上发表了他们的发现。老大蒜可能更健康。

但是我们离开实验室去厨房吧。不要扔掉旧的大蒜已发芽。你可能会认为，大蒜长绿芽是过期了陈了，应该扔到垃圾桶了。但不要那么快。科学家在《农业与食品化学》杂志上报道说，这种较老的大蒜比新鲜大蒜更有利于我们的身体。当研究人员测试了大蒜发芽了五天，他们发现它比新鲜大蒜的抗氧化活性较高。

此外，为了充分发挥大蒜对健康的好处，不要把它添加到食物或立即烹调。切割、粉碎或切碎的大蒜释放出在植物中的健康的化合物。但加热大蒜或添加到其他成分阻止这种健康化合物的释放。所以，切割或粉碎或切碎的大蒜，让它休息几分钟。所以，有什么缺点大蒜吗？好吧，大蒜对我们有益的原因和菜肴的味道很好--硫的气味很强--这也是我们口臭的原因。但也有可能治愈。另一项研究发现，吃大蒜后吃苹果或生菜会降低呼吸时强烈的大蒜味。

第四部分任务型阅读

【语篇导读】据报道，在中国，北方人吃面，南方人吃米，研究发现，这一差别造成了巨大的个性差异。以面食为主的北方人更独立，离婚率更高。相比之下，爱吃米的南方人更多地表现出东亚文化的传统品质，离婚率更低。据该研究的作者称，这是因为种植大米比种植小麦要难得多，需要邻里的协作，导致南方人的个人主义意识较弱，集体主义意识较强。71. Shaping根据文章第一段的The north eats noodles, while the south eats rice-and according to new research, when if comes to personality, that difference has meant everything以及最后一段的The authors aren’t alone in observing the influence various crops have on shaping culture可知，北方人吃面，而南方人吃米，并且根据最新的研究，吃米吃面会导致个性差异，而且作者们不单单观察了不同的作物对文化的影响。本文主要讲述了南北差异如何对个性的塑造产生影响。根据shaping culture可知Shaping符合题意。

72. Difference(s)/Distinction(s)根据文章第一段的In China, as in many countries, the north-south divide runs deep以及The north eats noodles. while the south eats rice-and according to new research, when it comes to personality, that difference has meant everything可知，就像在许多国家那样，在中国，南方和北方有很大的不同。北方人吃面，而南方人吃米，并且根据最新的研究，吃米吃面会导致个性差异。由此可知，本部分主要讲述了南方人和北方人的个

性差异。故Difference(s)/Distinction(s)符合题意。

73. feed(1ive)根据文章第一段的The north eats noodles, while the south eats rice可知，北方人吃面，而南方人吃米。根据eats noodles可知feed(1ive)正确。feed/live on sth.为固定短语，意为“以……为食”。

74. independence 根据文章第二段的A study published Friday by a group of psychologists in the journal Science finds that China’s noodle-slurping northerners are more independent, show more “analytic thought” and divorce more frequently可知，一个心理学家小组在周五的《科学杂志》上发表了一项研究：中国吃面的北方人更多的是个人主义，展现出“分析思路”并且离婚更频繁。根据more independent可知independence符合题意。

75. 1abor 根据文章第三段的They require careful tending and many hours of labor-by sonic estimates, twice as much as wheat可知，根据一些统计，种植水稻需要精心的照料和数小时的劳动力，是小麦(耗费的)两倍。根据many hours of labor可知labor正确。

76. cooperate 根据文章第三段的as well as reliance on irrigation systems that require neighborly cooperation可知，种植水稻还需依赖那种靠邻里间合作起作用的灌溉系统。根据neighborly’ cooperation可知cooperate符合题意。

77. starve根据文章第三段的As the authors write, for southerners growing rice, “strict self-reliance might have meant starvat ion”可知，正如作者所写的那样，对于种植大米的南方人来说，过分的独立耕种可能意味着挨饿。根据might have meant starvation司知starve正确。

78. 1acking(weak)根据文章第四段的One Chinese farming guide from the 1600s quoted in the study advised aspiring farmers that “if one is short of labor power, it is best to grow wheat. ”可知，研究中引用了17世纪给有抱负的农民的一个中国种植经验“如果一个农民缺乏劳动力，那他最好去种小麦。”根据short of labor power可知lacking(weak)符合题意。be lacking in为固定短语，意为“缺乏，短缺”；be weak in为固定短语，意为“在……方面弱、差”。

79. controlled根据文章第五段的To control for other factors that distinguish the north and south-such as climate, dialect and contact with herding cultures-the authors also analyzed differences between various neighboring counties in five centralprovinces along China’s rice-wheat border可知，为了控制会导致南北方差异的其他因素，如：气候，方言和与传统文化的联系，作者们也分析了位于中国种植大米和小麦地区周边的五个中心省里的不同县城之问的差异。根据To control for other factors司知controlled正确。

80. similar(related, relevant) 根据文章最后一段的Malcolm Gladwell in his 2008 book “‘Outliers” also drew connections between a hard-working ethic (measured by a willingness to fill out long, boring questionnaires) and a historical tradition of rice cultivation in places such as South Korea and Japan, given that the farming of such crops is arguably an equally boring chore 可知，麦尔坎·葛拉威尔在他2008年出版的《异常数据》中也把勤劳的职业道德(通过是否愿意填写繁杂无聊的问卷测出)和一些地方(如：韩国和日本)种植大米的历史传统联系起来，发现：种植这些作物可以说等同于无聊的事情。根据also drew connections可知，2008年出版的《异常数据》里有又一相似的或相关的观察。故similar(related，relevant)符合题意。

【参考范文】

Dear Minister,

I hear that many people in your country are suggesting Britain’s education system should follow China’s after a BBC documenta ry, which reported a 4-week experiment ending up with Chinese teaching methods defeating British ones. It is said you are collecting opinions from Chinese students. The following is my view.

Personally, I strongly advise you forget Chinese style of education. On one hand, Chinese students wining in test scores is in fact at the cost of their creative abilities and autonomy in learning. As a matter of fact, many of my classmates could do nothing without teachers’ and parents’ help，let alone make great innovations in their later life. On the other hand, Chinese students are suffering from a severe lack of sleep and good health, all due to the pursuit of a high score in numerous tests. Without a healthy body, nothing is meaningful. Do you really want young Britons to spend 15 to 16 hours a day on study?

Therefore, dear Minister, you should think twice if you decide to follow that suggestion.

Yours sincerely,

A Chinese Senior Student
