D.Worried.【答案】28.D29.C30.B31.C【解析】【導語】本文是一篇說明文，主要講述了一項研究表明，練習太極拳有助于緩解帕金森氏病的癥狀。【28題詳解】推理判斷題。根據第一段中的“Recently,theresearcherssaythatthosewhopractisedthemartialarttwiceaweekhadfewercomplications(并發癥)andbetterqualityoflifethanthosewhodidn’t.ExpertssaythefindingsbackuppreviousstudiesonthebenefitsofexerciseforthosewithParkinson’s.(最近，研究人員表示，每周練習兩次太極的人比不練習的人并發癥更少，生活質量更好。專家表示，這些發現支持了之前關于運動對帕金森氏癥患者益處的研究。)”和第二段中的“Thestudy,fromShanghaiJiaoTongUniversitySchoolofMedicine,monitoredthehealthofhundredsofParkinson’spatientsforuptofiveyears.(這項來自上海交通大學醫學院的研究對數百名帕金森病患者的健康狀況進行了長達五年的監測。)”可推測出，進行這項研究是為了研究太極拳對那些患有帕金森氏病的人產生的好處。故選D。【29題詳解】細節理解題。根據第二段中的“TheresearchersfoundthatthediseaseprogressedmoreslowlyintheTaiChigrouponmeasurementsofsymptoms(癥狀),movementandbalance.Thisgroupalsosawfewerfalls,lessbackpainanddizziness,withmemoryandconcentrationproblemsalsolowerthanintheothergroup.(研究人員發現，從癥狀、動作和平衡的測量結果來看，太極拳組的病情進展較慢。這一組的跌倒次數更少，背痛和頭暈次數更少，記憶力和注意力問題也低于另一組。)”可知，太極拳組的病情進展較慢，跌倒、背痛、頭暈次數更少，記憶力和注意力問題也較低，選項A、B、D均是研究發現，C項不符合題意。故選C。【30題詳解】推理判斷題。根據最后一段中他的話“WealreadyrecommendTaiChi,aswellasotherformsofexercise,butunderstandingwhichformsofexercisearemostbeneficialisanimportantgoaltoimprovethelong-termmanagementofpatients(我們已經推薦太極拳和其他形式的運動，但了解哪些運動形式最有益是改善患者長期管理的重要目標)”可知，他認為了解哪些運動形式最有益是改善患者長期管理的重要目標，由此可推測出，找到最有益的鍛煉方式是非常重要的。故選B。【31題詳解】推理判斷題。根據第三段中的“Prof.AlastairNoyce,professorinneurologyandneuroepidemiologyatQueenMaryUniversityofLondon,calledit‘animportantstudy’—thepositiveeffectsonaspectsofmotor(運動的)andnon-motorfunctionsareimpressive(倫敦瑪麗女王大學神經病學和神經流行病學教授AlastairNoyce教授稱這是‘一項重要的研究’——對運動功能和非運動功能的積極影響令人印象深刻)”可知，他認為這項研究是一項重要的研究，對運動功能和非運動功能的積極影響令人印象深刻，由此可推測出，他對這項研究持肯定態度。故選C。DWhiledoinghomework,SeoyoungJunclosedoneeyeandsuccessfullypickedupherpencilholder.Sherealizedthatdirectingherselfina3Dspacedidn’trequirebotheyes.Thissurprisedhersomuchthatshedidsomeresearch.Andshelearnedthebraincanprocess3Dinformationwithpoorvision(視力)orevenwithoutanyvision.ThentheideaforMindBeaconwasborn.Itusesathinlineoflighttogather3Dinformationabouttheplacementofwalls,furnitureandotherthings.ThenthelightsendsthatinformationbacktoMindBeacon,whichthenraiseslittlepins(大頭針)toshowwherethoseobstacles(障礙物)are.Thenblindpeoplecan“read”thepositionofthosepinstounderstandthepositionsofstructuresandobjectsaheadandwalkaroundthem.Whentheinventionworkedforthefirsttime,Seoyoungdidn’tbelieveit.She’dbeenupallnightworkingonit.Tobesuretherewasn’tamistake,sheshutitoffandstarteditup.Ithadbeensevenlongmonthsofresearchandtesting.Nowthistoolcanhelpdisabledpeoplecreateamentalimageoftheirsurroundings.TheheartofMindBeaconisa3Ddepthsensorthat’sconnectedtoacomputer.Thatcomputercancontrolmotorsthatarelinedupinthreerowsofthree.Eachmotorcontrolsapinthatcanmoveupanddown.Whenthesensorfindsanobstacle,thepinrises.Itcanrisetothreedifferentheights.Eachheightroughlyrepresentstheheightoftheobstacle.Someonewhorunstheirhandovertheninepinscantellwheretheobstacleisanditsgeneralheight.MindBeaconwonSeoyoungaplaceattheworld’shighschoolresearchcompetition.Rightnow,shewantstoameliorateit.Sheimaginesinthefutureitcanbeconnectedtoasmartphone,withmorelittlepinstoshowtheexactheightoftheobstacle.Itwouldfeellikealittlemapshowingthelocationandsizeoftheobstacleahead.32.WhatinspiredSeoyoungtoinventMindBeacon?A.Thedesiretowinacompetition.

D.Control.【答案】32.D33.A34.B35.C【解析】【導語】本文是一篇說明文。Seoyoung發明了一種可以幫助盲人繞過障礙物的新設備。【32題詳解】細節理解題。根據第一段“Whiledoinghomework,SeoyoungJunclosedoneeyeandsuccessfullypickedupherpencilholder.Sherealizedthatdirectingherselfina3Dspacedidn’trequirebotheyes.Thissurprisedhersomuchthatshedidsomeresearch.Andshelearnedthebraincanprocess3Dinformationwithpoorvision(視力)orevenwithoutanyvision.ThentheideaforMindBeaconwasborn.(在做作業時，徐英全閉上一只眼睛，成功地拿起了鉛筆架。她意識到在3D空間中指導自己并不需要兩只眼睛。這讓她非常驚訝，于是她做了一些研究。她還了解到，即使視力不好，甚至沒有視力，大腦也能處理3D信息。于是，MindBeacon的想法誕生了)”可知，Seoyoung僅用一只眼睛就能成功地拿起筆筒，這啟發她發明出了MindBeacon。故選D項。【33題詳解】推理判斷題。根據第二段“Itusesathinlineoflighttogather3Din-formationabouttheplacementofwalls,furnitureandotherthings.ThenthelightsendsthatinformationbacktoMindBeacon,whichthenraiseslittlepins(大頭針)toshowwherethoseobstacles(障礙物)are.Thenblindpeoplecan“read”thepositionofthosepinstounderstandthepositionsofstructuresandobjectsaheadandwalkaroundthem.(它使用一條細細的光線來收集關于墻壁、家具和其他東西的位置的3D信息。然后，光將這些信息傳回MindBeacon，然后MindBeacon會豎起小大頭針來顯示這些障礙物的位置。然后盲人就可以“讀懂”這些大頭針的位置，從而了解前方建筑物和物體的位置，并繞著它們走)”可知，MindBeacon通過讓盲人提前知道障礙物的位置來給他們提供幫助。故選A項。【34題詳解】主旨大意題。根據第四段“TheheartofMindBeaconisa3Ddepthsensorthat’sconnectedtoacomputer.Thatcomputercancontrolmotorsthatarelinedupinthreerowsofthree.Eachmotorcontrolsapinthatcanmoveupanddown.Whenthesensorfindsanobstacle,thepinrises.Itcanrisetothreedifferentheights.Eachheightroughlyrepresentstheheightoftheobstacle.Someonewhorunstheirhandovertheninepinscantellwheretheobstacleisanditsgeneralheight.(MindBeacon的核心是一個3D深度傳感器，與電腦相連。那臺電腦可以控制排成三排的馬達，每排三個。每個電機控制一個可以上下移動的引腳。當傳感器發現障礙物時，引腳就會上升。它可以升到三種不同的高度。每個高度大致代表障礙物的高度。用手摸過9個木瓶的人就能說出障礙物的位置和大致高度)”可知，本段詳細介紹了MindBeacon的工作過程。故選B項。【35題詳解】詞句猜測題。根據后文“Sheimaginesinthefutureitcanbeconnectedtoasmartphone,withmorelittlepinstoshowtheexactheightoftheobstacle.Itwouldfeellikealittlemapshowingthelocationandsizeoftheobstacleahead.(她設想未來它可以連接到智能手機上，用更多的小針顯示障礙物的確切高度。它就像一張小地圖，顯示前方障礙的位置和大小)”可知，Seoyoung想改進她的發明，推知ameliorate為“改進”之意，和C項意思相近。故選C項。第二節（共5小題;每小題2.5分,滿分12.5分）閱讀下面短文,從短文后的選項中選出可以填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。Youlistentomusiceveryday.Somemusichitsyourhearts.Somemusicmakesyoufullofjoy.___36___Inordertoanalysefunctionsofmusic,let’sseethebenefitsitbrings.Musicmakesyouexpressyouremotion.___37___.Thiswayyourbrainconveysthethoughtswithoutspeakingaword.Whenwetrytoexpresssomesademotion,youwillusesoftanddeepmusic.___38___Musicisanextremelyuniquewaytodevelopthecapabilityofmemorising.Thebestexampletoprovethissentenceisthatyoucaneasilylearnsomethingintheformofsongs.Thereasonbehindlearningasongquicklyisthatyourmindenjoysmusic.Whateveryourmindsenjoy,itkeepsit.Musicmakesyoucreative.Musiciskeytocreativity.Ithelpsyouinimprovingyourmindbymakingitmoreartistic.Nomatterwhatthegreatinventionis,itrequiresart.Creativityisfulfilledbymusic.___39___Musicimprovesyourfinereasoningskills.Duringastudyofchildrenitwasshownthatifchildrenareexposedtothreeormoreyearsofmusicaltraining,thesesamekidsperformedbetter.___40___.Theyhadbetterlisteningandspeakingskillsthanthosewhohadnone.Thechildreneventestedbetterforvocabularyandreasoningskills.A.ThiswastheresultB.MusicisanartofbeautyC.SomemusicmakesyoutearfulD.MusicmakesyouliveabetterlifeE.MusicmakeslearningmorepleasantF.YoushouldchoosesomekindofmusicwithpowerfulbeatsG.Youusuallyplaythemusicthatreflectsyourthoughtsoryouremotions【答案】36.C37.G38.E39.B40.A【解析】【導語】這是一篇說明文。文章主要說明了音樂所帶來的好處。【36題詳解】根據上文“Somemusichitsyourhearts.Somemusicmakesyoufullofjoy.(有些音樂能打動你的心。有些音樂讓你充滿喜悅)”可知，上文提到了音樂會讓你充滿喜悅，可知有喜就有悲，C選項與上文內容相似、形式相同。故C選項“有些音樂讓你流淚”符合語境，故選C。【37題詳解】根據后文“Thiswayyourbrainconveysthethoughtswithoutspeakingaword.Whenwetrytoexpresssomesademotion,youwillusesoftanddeepmusic.(這樣你的大腦不用說話就能傳達思想。當我們試圖表達一些悲傷的情緒時，你會使用柔和而深沉的音樂)”可知，本段的主旨是音樂可以表達情緒，關鍵詞為“情緒”，故G選項“你通常演奏反映你思想或情感的音樂”符合語境，故選G。【38題詳解】根據本段內容“Musicisanextremelyuniquewaytodevelopthecapabilityofmemorising.Thebestexampletoprovethissentenceisthatyoucaneasilylearnsomethingintheformofsongs.Thereasonbehindlearningasongquicklyisthatyourmindenjoysmusic.Whateveryourmindsenjoy,itkeepsit.(音樂是一種非常獨特的培養記憶能力的方式。證明這句話的最好例子是，你可以很容易地從歌曲的形式中學到一些東西。快速學習一首歌背后的原因是你的大腦喜歡音樂。無論你的大腦喜歡什么，它都會保留它)”可知，后文提到傾聽音樂，讓大腦感到舒適，從而會記住要學習的內容，即音樂有助于學習。故E選項“音樂使學習更愉快”符合語境，故選E。【39題詳解】可知，本句順承上文提到的“Nomatterwhatthegreatinventionis,itrequiresart.Creativityisfulfilledbymusic.(無論這項偉大發明是什么，它都需要藝術)”可知，本句的內容與音樂和藝術有關，關鍵詞為“藝術”。故B選項“音樂是一種美的藝術”符合語境，故選B。【40題詳解】根據上文“Duringastudyofchildren,itwasshownthatifchildrenareexposedtothreeormoreyearsofmusicaltraining,thesesamekidsperformedbetter.(在一項針對兒童的研究中，研究表明，如果孩子接受三年或三年以上的音樂訓練，這些孩子的表現會更好)”以及后文“Theyhadbetterlisteningandspeakingskillsthanthosewhohadnone.Thechildreneventestedbetterforvocabularyandreasoningskills.(他們比那些沒有聽力和口語的人有更好的聽力和口語技能。孩子們甚至在詞匯和推理能力方面測試得更好)”可知，本句置于兩句之間，為下文的解釋說明做鋪墊，說明上文研究的結果。故A選項“這就是結果”符合語境，故選A。第三部分語言運用（共兩節,滿分30分）第一節（共15小題;每小題1分,滿分15分）
