The first day of school our professor introduced himself and challenged us to get to know someone we hadn’t already known. I stood up to look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder.I turned round to find a wrinkled, little old lady beaming up at me with a smile that lit up her entire being.
She said, “Hi handsome. My name is Rose. I’m eighty-seven years old. Can I give you a hug ”
I laughed and enthusiastically responded, “Of course you may!” and she gave me a giant squeeze.
“Why are you in college at such a young, innocent age ” I asked.
She jokingly replied, “I’m here to meet a rich husband, get married, and have a couple of kids...”
“No seriously,” I asked. I was curious about what may have motivated her to be taking on this challenge at her age.
“I always dreamed of having a college education and now I’m getting one!” she told me.
We became instant friends. Every day for the next three months we would leave class together and talk nonstop. I always enjoyed listening to this “time machine” as she shared her wisdom and experience with me.
Over the course of the year, Rose became a campus icon and she easily made friends wherever she went. She loved to dress up and took delight in the attention bestowed (授予) upon her from the other students. She was living it up.
At the end of the semester we invited Rose to speak at our football banquet.
I’ll never forget what she taught us.
“We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing. There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up. If you are nineteen years old and lie in bed for one full year and don’t do one productive thing, you will turn twenty years old.”
At the end of that year, Rose finished the college degree she had begun all those years ago.

When I was a child, I always wanted to be a superhero. I wanted to save the world and make everyone happy. But I knew that I’d need superpowers to make my dreams come true. So I used to embark on these imaginary journeys to find intergalactic (星系之间的) objects from planet Krypton, but didn’t yield much result. When I grew up and realized that science fiction was not a good source for superpowers, I decided instead to embark on a journey of real science, to find a more useful truth.
I started my journey in California, with a UC Berkeley 30-year longitudinal study that examined the photos of students in an old yearbook, and tried to measure their success and well-being throughout their life.By measuring the students’ smiles, researchers were able to predict how fulfilling and long-lasting a subject’s marriage would be, how well they would score on standardized tests of well-being, and how inspiring they would be to others.
Another aha moment came from a 2010 Wayne State University span research project that looked into pre-1950s baseball cards of Major League players. The researchers found that the span of a player’s smile could actually assist to predict the span of his life. Players who didn’t smile in their pictures lived an average of only 72.9 years, while players with beaming smiles lived an average of almost 80 years.
British researchers found that one smile can generate the same level of brain stimulation as up to 2,000 bars of chocolate. Wait — The same study found that smiling is as stimulating as receiving up to 16,000 in cash. That’s like $25,000 a smile. It’s not bad. And think about it this way: 25,000 times 400 — children smile as many as 400 times per day — quite a few kids out there feel like Mark Zuckerberg every day.
So whenever you want to tap into a superpower that will help you and everyone around you live a longer healthier, happier life, smile.
8. Why did the author shift to pursuing scientific research
A. Because he discovered galactic objects during childhood.
B. Because he realized sci-fi couldn’t bring superpowers.
C. Because he dreamed of global happiness since youth.
D. Because he embarked on these fictional journeys.
9. What can we infer from Paragraph 4
A. Every child smiles 400 times per day.
B. Kids who smile are as rich as Zukerberg.
C. Smiling is equal to eating 2,000 bars of chocolate.
D. Smiling can gain stimulation alike receiving cash.
10. What’s the author’s attitude towards the effect of smiles on people
A. Positive. B. Doubtful. C. Neutral. D. Indifferent.
11. What is the text mainly about
A. The journey to find the truth.
B. The hidden power of smiling.
C. The secret to a long and healthy life.
D. The significance of superhero studies.
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. A 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了研究表明，微笑给我们带来的好处，能让我们更幸福，更长寿。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“When I grew up and realized that science fiction was not a good source for superpowers, I decided instead to embark on a journey of real science, to find a more useful truth.(当我长大且意识到科幻小说并不是超能力的好的来源时，我决定踏上真正的科学之旅去找到更有用的事实)”可知，作者转变到科学研究是因为科幻小说无法给作者超能力。故选B。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段“British researchers found that one smile can generate the same level of brain stimulation as up to 2,000 bars of chocolate. Wait — The same study found that smiling is as stimulating as receiving up to 16,000 in cash.(研究者发现，一个微笑可以产生与2000块巧克力同等水平的大脑刺激。等等——同一项研究发现，微笑和收到16000英镑现金一样刺激)”可推知，收到巧克力和现金对大脑的刺激与微笑对大脑的刺激是一样的。由此推知，微笑可以像收到现金一样获得刺激。故选D。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“So whenever you want to tap into a superpower that will help you and everyone around you live a longer, healthier, happier life, smile.(因此，每当你想要一种超能力来帮助你和周围的人活得更长，更健康，更幸福时，就微笑吧)”可推知，作者认为微笑可以帮助自己和周围的人活得更长、更健康、更幸福。由此推知，作者对微笑的态度是积极的。故选A。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“When I grew up and realized that science fiction was not a good source for superpowers, I decided instead to embark on a journey of real science, to find a more useful truth.(当我长大且意识到科幻小说并不是超能力的好的来源时，我决定踏上真正的科学之旅去找到更有用的事实)”可知，文章首段提出了要通过科学研究来寻找超能力，紧接着文章通过两项研究说明微笑能使人更加幸福更加长寿，微笑也就是作者寻找的超能力。由此可知，文章主要介绍了微笑隐藏的力量。故选B。
D
For years, scientists have debated whether humans or the climate have caused the population of large mammals to decline dramatically over the past several thousand years. A new study from Aarhus University confirms that climate cannot be the explanation.
About 100,000 years ago, the first modern humans migrated out of Africa in large numbers. They were very good at adapting to new habitats, and they settled in almost every kind of landscape — from deserts to jungles to the icy taiga in the far north.
Part of the success was human’s ability to hunt large animals. With clever hunting techniques and specially built weapons, they perfected the art of killing even the most dangerous mammals.
But unfortunately, the great success of our ancestors came at the expense of the other large mammals.
It is well-known that numerous large species went extinct during the time of worldwide colonization by modern humans. Now, new research from Aarhus University reveals that those large mammals that survived also experienced a dramatic decline.
By studying the DNA of 139 living species of large mammals, scientists have been able to show that the abundances of almost all species fell dramatically about 50,000 years ago. This is according to Jens-Christian Svenning, a professor and head of the Danish National Research Foundation’s Center for Ecological Dynamics in a Novel Biosphere (ECONOVO) at Aarhus University and the initiator of the study.
“We’ve studied the evolution of large mammalian populations over the past 750,000 years. For the first 700,000 years, the populations were fairly stable. But 50,000 years ago, the populations fell dramatically and never recovered,” he says, and continues: “For the past 800,000 years, the globe has fluctuated (波动) between ice ages and interglacial periods about every 100,000 years. If the climate was the cause, we should see greater fluctuations when the climate changed 50,000 years earlier.But we don’t. Humans are, therefore, the most likely explanation.”
12. What do the underlined words “the success” mean in Paragraph 3
A. The evolution of large mammals.
B. The prosperity of various habitats.
C. The achievement of human migration.
D. The progress in hunting techniques.
13. According to Svenning, what happened 50,000 years ago
A. Populations of large mammals significantly dropped.
B. Living conditions of large mammals remained stable.
C. Global climate dramatically changed.
D. A large number of glaciers suddenly melt.
14. What’s used as a clue of the research according to the last two paragraphs
A. Species. B. Place. C. Time. D. Climate.
15. Which can be a suitable title for the text
A. Climate Impact on Animals
B. Changes of Prehistoric Environment
C. Evolution of Large Mammal Populations
D. Human Influence on Giant Mammals
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章主要谈论了，科学家多年来一直在辩论是人类还是气候导致了过去几千年大型哺乳动物数量急剧下降的问题。但Aarhus大学的一项新研究证实了气候不可能是解释的原因。
【12题详解】
词义猜测题。根据文章第二段“About 100,000 years ago, the first modern humans migrated out of Africa in large numbers.They were very good at adapting to new habitats, and they settled in almost every kind of landscape—from deserts to jungles to the icy taiga in the far north.(大约10万年前，第一批现代人类大量迁徙出非洲。它们非常善于适应新的栖息地，几乎定居在从沙漠到丛林再到遥远北方冰冷的针叶林的每一种景观中。)”以及第三段“With clever hunting techniques and specially built weapons, they perfected the art of killing even the most dangerous mammals. (成功的一部分是人类狩猎大型动物的能力。凭借巧妙的狩猎技术和特制的武器，他们甚至完善了杀死最危险哺乳动物的艺术。)”可知，此处划线词the success指的是上文提到的人们迁徙的成就。故选C。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第六段“By studying the DNA of 139 living species of large mammals, scientists have been able to show that the abundances of almost all species fell dramatically about 50,000 years ago.This is according to Jens-Christian Svenning, a professor and head of the Danish National Research Foundation’s Center for Ecological Dynamics in a Novel Biosphere(ECONOVO)at Aarhus University and the initiator of the study.(通过研究139种现存大型哺乳动物的DNA，科学家们已经能够证明，大约5万年前，几乎所有物种的丰度都急剧下降。这是奥胡斯大学丹麦国家研究基金会新生物圈生态动力学中心（ECONOVO）教授兼负责人、该研究的发起人Jens Christian Svenning的说法。)”可知，大约5万年前，大型哺乳动物的数量显著减少。故选A。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“By studying the DNA of 139 living species of large mammals, scientists have been able to show that the abundances of almost all species fell dramatically about 50,000 years ago.This is according to Jens-Christian Svenning, a professor and head of the Danish National Research Foundation’s Center for Ecological Dynamics in a Novel Biosphere(ECONOVO)at Aarhus University and the initiator of the study.(通过研究139种现存大型哺乳动物的DNA，科学家们已经能够证明，大约5万年前，几乎所有物种的丰度都急剧下降。这是奥胡斯大学丹麦国家研究基金会新生物圈生态动力学中心（ECONOVO）教授兼负责人、该研究的发起人Jens Christian Svenning的说法。)”以及最后一段““We’ve studied the evolution of large mammalian populations over the past 750,000 years.For the first 700,000 years, the populations were fairly stable.But 50,000 years ago, the populations fell dramatically and never recovered,” he says, and continues: “For the past 800,000 years, the globe has fluctuated(波动)between ice ages and interglacial periods about every 100,000 years.If the climate was the cause, we should see greater fluctuations when the climate changed 50,000 years earlier. But we don’t. Humans are, therefore, the most likely explanation.”(“我们研究了过去75万年中大型哺乳动物种群的进化。在最初的70万年里，种群数量相当稳定。但在5万年前，种群数量急剧下降，再也没有恢复，”他说，并继续说道“在过去的80万年里，全球大约每10万年就在冰河时期和间冰期之间波动一次。如果气候是原因，我们应该会在5万年前气候变化时看到更大的波动。但我们没有。因此，人类是最有可能的解释。”)”可知，研究的线索为时间。故选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“For years, scientists have debated whether humans or the climate have caused the population of large mammals to decline dramatically over the past several thousand years. A new study from Aarhus University confirms that climate cannot be the explanation.(科学家多年来一直在辩论是人类还是气候导致了过去几千年大型哺乳动物数量急剧下降的问题。但Aarhus大学的一项新研究证实了气候不可能是解释的原因。)”以及对文章的理解可知，本文说明了科学家多年来一直在辩论是人类还是气候导致了过去几千年大型哺乳动物数量急剧下降的问题。但Aarhus大学的一项新研究证实了气候不可能是解释的原因。故D项“人类对巨型哺乳动物的影响”符合文章标题。故选D。

Tips on Learning Math
While you are sitting in a math class listening to your teacher multiplying (乘以) and adding endless numbers, math can become boring and uninteresting quickly.____16____. Here are some tips that can help you.
Learn math tricks. There are many tricks in math that save you enormous time. For example, adding up all the numbers from 1 to 100 is a lot of work. But, check out this easy way to do it: 100+1=101 and 99+2=101, right So does 98+3, 97+4, 96+5, etc. So, if you multiply 101 by the number of these pairs, you’ll get the sum of all the numbers from 1 to 100, which is 5050.____17____.
Make math easy. Math can be difficult to learn because students are often taught to learn math by memorizing formulas (公式). However, by learning math this way, students aren’t taught the principles and concepts. But the principles and concepts are needed to understand why a particular formula is being used.____18____. You can ask your teacher why and how a particular formula works, while others do not.
____19____. For example, if you’re interested in historical landmarks, learn about the math involved in building these landmarks.
Connect math to everyday life.____20____. For example, if you have an alarm clock, chances are that you will figure out how many extra minutes you can sleep before you get out of bed once you hit the snooze button (贪睡按钮). Try to notice the different ways you do math in your day-to-day tasks.
A. They are often interesting too
B. So make math easier by learning them
C. Make math fun by using it in the real world
D. Try solving some math competition problems
E. Explore how math is related to something that you love
F. By doing so, you can find a way out of doing extra work
G. However, you can beat the boredom by making math meaningful to you
【答案】16. G 17. F 18. B 19. E 20. C
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一些让学习数学有趣的方法。
【16题详解】
根据空前“While you are sitting in a math class listening to your teacher multiplying (乘以) and adding endless numbers, math can become boring and uninteresting quickly. (当你坐在数学课上听老师没完没了地做乘法和加法时，数学很快就会变得无聊和无趣。)”和空后“Here are some tips that can help you.(有一些方法可以帮助你。)”可知，空前提到坐在教室里学数学很无聊很无趣，空后指出有让数学变得有趣的方法。由此可知，空处内容应承上启下，G项“然而，你可以通过让数学对你有意义来战胜无聊”符合题意，与空前互为转折关系，引出空后，故选G项。
【17题详解】
根据空前“So, if you multiply 101 by the number of these pairs, you’ll get the sum of all the numbers from 1 to 100, which is 5050.(因此，如果你用101乘以这些对的数量，你会得到从1到100的所有数字的总和，即5050。)”可知，此空介绍这样做的好处。故F项“通过这样做，你可以找到一种做额外工作的方法。”符合语境，F项中的so指代空前“you multiply 101 by the number of these pairs, you’ll get the sum of all the numbers from 1 to 100, which is 5050”这一方法，故选F项。
【18题详解】
根据空前“However, by learning math this way, students aren’t taught the principles and concepts. But the principles and concepts are needed to understand why a particular formula is being used.(然而，通过这种方式学习数学，学生没有学到原理和概念。但是要理解为什么要使用一个特定的公式，需要原则和概念。)”可知，下文应介绍如何学习数学，故B项“因此，通过学习数学来简化数学”符合语境，故选B项。
【19题详解】
根据空后“For example, if you’re interested in historical landmarks, learn about the math involved in building these landmarks. (例如，如果你对历史地标感兴趣，可以学习建造这些地标所涉及的数学知识。)”可知，空后举出具体例子来证明要学习一些相关的学科，故E项“探索数学与你喜爱的事物之间的关系。”符合语境，引出下文。故选E项。
【20题详解】
根据空前“Connect math to everyday life. (将数学与日常生活联系起来。)”可知，本空和现实生活有关。故C项“让数学在现实世界中变得有趣”是空前的顺义承接，将数学和日常生活联系起来，让数学在现实世界中变得有趣，故选C项。

Mrs. Green lived next door to Sarah in a big house that had once been a grocery store.Just then, she came out, followed by her cat Whiskers.
“I’m sorry to hear that you’re moving,” Mrs. Green said with sympathy. “So am I,” Sarah grumbled (发牢骚) in response. Mrs. Green offered a comforting pat on Sarah’s arm. “Never mind. Your house might take months to sell.”
However, a few days later, Sarah came home from school and found a man in the living room. His name was Mr. Anderson and he expressed keen interest in buying the house. Sarah’s heart sank when Mr. Anderson said he wanted to come back for a second visit on Sunday morning.

As he entered, Mr. Anderson stopped, sniffing the air with curiosity, and asked, “What’s that unpleasant smell ” Sarah told him the local bakery does fish pie on Sundays, which made Mr. Anderson frown.“Mind the mouse poo,” Sarah grinned, pointing to a pile of brown lumps.“It gets stuck in the carpet.” “Urgh!” Mr. Anderson pulled a face and rushed out of the house.

The first day of school our professor introduced himself and challenged us to get to know someone we hadn’t already known. I stood up to look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder.I turned round to find a wrinkled, little old lady beaming up at me with a smile that lit up her entire being.
She said, “Hi handsome. My name is Rose. I’m eighty-seven years old. Can I give you a hug ”
I laughed and enthusiastically responded, “Of course you may!” and she gave me a giant squeeze.
“Why are you in college at such a young, innocent age ” I asked.
She jokingly replied “I’m here to meet a rich husband, get married, and have a couple of kids...”
“No seriously,” I asked. I was curious about what may have motivated her to be taking on this challenge at her age.
“I always dreamed of having a college education and now I’m getting one!” she told me.

Over the course of the year, Rose became a campus icon and she easily made friends wherever she went. She loved to dress up and took delight in the attention bestowed (授予) upon her from the other students. She was living it up.
At the end of the semester we invited Rose to speak at our football banquet.
I’ll never forget what she taught us.
“We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing. There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up. If you are nineteen years old and lie in bed for one full year and don’t do one productive thing, you will turn twenty years old.”
At the end of that year, Rose finished the college degree she had begun all those years ago.
One week after graduation, Rose died peacefully in her sleep.

When I was a child, I always wanted to be a superhero. I wanted to save the world and make everyone happy. But I knew that I’d need superpowers to make my dreams come true. So I used to embark on these imaginary journeys to find intergalactic (星系之间的) objects from planet Krypton, but didn’t yield much result. When I grew up and realized that science fiction was not a good source for superpowers, I decided instead to embark on a journey of real science, to find a more useful truth.
I started my journey in California, with a UC Berkeley 30-year longitudinal study that examined the photos of students in an old yearbook, and tried to measure their success and well-being throughout their life.By measuring the students’ smiles, researchers were able to predict how fulfilling and long-lasting a subject’s marriage would be, how well they would score on standardized tests of well-being, and how inspiring they would be to others.
Another aha moment came from a 2010 Wayne State University span research project that looked into pre-1950s baseball cards of Major League players. The researchers found that the span of a player’s smile could actually assist to predict the span of his life. Players who didn’t smile in their pictures lived an average of only 72.9 years, while players with beaming smiles lived an average of almost 80 years.
British researchers found that one smile can generate the same level of brain stimulation as up to 2,000 bars of chocolate. Wait — The same study found that smiling is as stimulating as receiving up to 16,000 in cash. That’s like $25,000 a smile. It’s not bad. And think about it this way: 25,000 times 400 — children smile as many as 400 times per day — quite a few kids out there feel like Mark Zuckerberg every day.
So whenever you want to tap into a superpower that will help you and everyone around you live a longer, healthier, happier life, smile.
8. Why did the author shift to pursuing scientific research
A. Because he discovered galactic objects during childhood.
B. Because he realized sci-fi couldn’t bring superpowers.

D. Because he embarked on these fictional journeys.
9. What can we infer from Paragraph 4
A. Every child smiles 400 times per day.
B. Kids who smile are as rich as Zukerberg.
C. Smiling is equal to eating 2,000 bars of chocolate.
D. Smiling can gain stimulation alike receiving cash.
10. What’s the author’s attitude towards the effect of smiles on people
A. Positive. B. Doubtful. C. Neutral. D. Indifferent.
11 What is the text mainly about
A. The journey to find the truth.
B. The hidden power of smiling.
C. The secret to a long and healthy life.
D. The significance of superhero studies.

For years, scientists have debated whether humans or the climate have caused the population of large mammals to decline dramatically over the past several thousand years. A new study from Aarhus University confirms that climate cannot be the explanation.
About 100,000 years ago, the first modern humans migrated out of Africa in large numbers. They were very good at adapting to new habitats, and they settled in almost every kind of landscape — from deserts to jungles to the icy taiga in the far north.
Part of the success was human’s ability to hunt large animals. With clever hunting techniques and specially built weapons, they perfected the art of killing even the most dangerous mammals.
But unfortunately, the great success of our ancestors came at the expense of the other large mammals.
It is well-known that numerous large species went extinct during the time of worldwide colonization by modern humans. Now, new research from Aarhus University reveals that those large mammals that survived also experienced a dramatic decline.
By studying the DNA of 139 living species of large mammals, scientists have been able to show that the abundances of almost all species fell dramatically about 50,000 years ago. This is according to Jens-Christian Svenning, a professor and head of the Danish National Research Foundation’s Center for Ecological Dynamics in a Novel Biosphere (ECONOVO) at Aarhus University and the initiator of the study.
“We’ve studied the evolution of large mammalian populations over the past 750,000 years. For the first 700,000 years, the populations were fairly stable. But 50,000 years ago, the populations fell dramatically and never recovered,” he says, and continues: “For the past 800,000 years, the globe has fluctuated (波动) between ice ages and interglacial periods about every 100,000 years. If the climate was the cause, we should see greater fluctuations when the climate changed 50,000 years earlier.But we don’t. Humans are, therefore, the most likely explanation.”
12. What do the underlined words “the success” mean in Paragraph 3
A. The evolution of large mammals.
B. The prosperity of various habitats.
C. The achievement of human migration.
D. The progress in hunting techniques.
13. According to Svenning, what happened 50,000 years ago
A. Populations of large mammals significantly dropped.
B. Living conditions of large mammals remained stable.
C. Global climate dramatically changed.
D. A large number of glaciers suddenly melt.
14. What’s used as a clue of the research according to the last two paragraphs
A. Species. B. Place. C. Time. D. Climate.
15. Which can be a suitable title for the text
A. Climate Impact on Animals
B Changes of Prehistoric Environment
C. Evolution of Large Mammal Populations
D. Human Influence on Giant Mammals
