12、语法填空12、Tu Youyou is a Chinese pharmaceutical chemist(药学家) and educator. She is best known for discovering artemisinin(青蒿素) which 1(use) to treat malaria(疟疾) and has saved 2(million) of lives. She won the Nobel Prize in Medicine in October 2015. She is the 3(one) Chinese woman to win this prize.Tu wa

13、s born in Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, China 4 December 30th, 1930. From 1951 to 1955, she attended Peking University Medical School. Later, Tu was trained for two and a half 5(year) in traditional Chinese medicine. Now she is the Chief Scientist in the Academy(研究院) of Chinese Medicine in Beijing.Tu h

16、ools have begun to introduce meditation, or mindfulness training, into their classrooms. During mindfulness training, students may be asked to sit quietly and observe their own thoughts and feelings to avoid being controlled by them. Mindfulness training can help students overcome anxiety (焦虑), cont

17、rol their behavior, and improve their ability to pay attention in class. Students are expected to learn how to meditate in order to reduce stress and do better in their schoolwork.Among schools that already teach meditation, the results have been positive. In one study, teachers reported that after

18、five weeks of mindfulness practice, their students were more focused. They also participated more fully in class. A middle school in San Francisco reported that a student meditation program led to higher attendance rates and better grades. Another study suggested that meditation helped students perf

19、orm better on tests by improving their working memory and reducing their anxiety. Many supporters believe that meditation training programs can also help students overcome stress. For example, Headstand is a mindfulness education program designed to help students overcome anxiety. A study concluded

20、that ninety-eight percent of participating students felt less stressed after they completed the Headstand program. In another study, researchers in New Haven, Connecticut, followed students who participated in meditation and yoga classes three times a week. They found that after each class, particip

21、ants had lower levels of cortisol, a stress hormone (激素), in their bodies.Despite the positive results seen so far, critics also point out that much of the current research is not rigorous(严谨的) enough. Associate Professor Tamar Mendelson agrees that research on meditation in children is still in its

22、 early stages. However, even she insists that she has seen the positive impact of meditation on children. Others express worries that meditation is not a valuable use of class time. But many disagree. Denise Pope, a professor from the Stanford University, says, “This is something teachers can do imm

23、ediately. You get a lot of bang for your buck and anyone who is against it isnt thinking clearly.” Indeed, additional studies will surely strengthen our understanding of the benefits of mindfulness.Although still in its early stages, research shows that meditation can help students learn to deal wit

24、h anxiety and stress. As an added bonus, students of mindfulness training also report better concentration and gains in their academic performances. Therefore, meditation should be a part of every students school day. Participating in “stillness” can be just as productive as other school-related act

25、ivities.1Why do some schools introduce mindfulness training into classes?ATo control students working memory.BTo reduce students stress and anxiety.CTo increase students attendance rates.DTo research students thoughts and feelings.2What can we learn from the passage?AMindfulness training is not a va

A yearlong study of workers at a company St. Paul, Minn, found that the pro

29、ductivity of 40 treadmill users dropped at first because they were unable to master typing and operating a mouse while walking at a speed of up to two miles per hour. But within four to six months, measures (测量) of performance-quality, the amount of work done, and the quality of interactions(互动) wit

30、h workmates rose gradually, according to weekly surveys. At the end of the survey period, workers with treadmill desks improved their performance, which was 0.1 points higher than that before the project began. For tasks like solving problems or taking conference calls, “ A little bit of walking is

31、useful because it means theres more blood flow to the brain,” said Avner Ben-Ner, a professor at the University of Minnesotas Carlson School of Management and an author of the study. “ You get more oxygen (氧气) and it increases the ability to think .”Treadmill desks have got attention because of rese

32、arch which showed the negative (负面的，消极的)effects of sedentary lifestyles and jobs that leave workers sitting all day. But data on the effectiveness of the desks has been relatively rare.There are other downsides (不利方面) , as The Wall Street Journal wrote last year, including the possibility of falls a

33、nd injuries. Mr. Ben-Ner noted that treadmill users need some time to get used to the ergonomics (人体工程学) of walking while working, including the proper desk height. His team provided no training to employees, and he said that employers who provide such desks should offer help to get users comfortabl

34、e on the machines. “This wouldnt be very good for people who use a needle for their jobs,” he said. “ But everyone who does brain work knows that if you need fresh ideas, taking a walk helps.”1According to the passage, fashion treadmill desks offer users many advantages EXCEPT to_.Aimprove their qua

35、lity of workBincrease their amount of workCmake their health become better and betterDkeep good relationships with workmates2Which of the following does Mr. Ben-Ner agree?APeople can do different kinds of work when walking on treadmill.BThe treadmill desks are fit for people solving difficult proble

36、ms.CThe more oxygen you get, the better your mood is.DA little walk can make your brain work more actively.3The underlined part “sedentary “in Paragraph 6 probably means leading a life with _.Amuch sittingBdaily stressCno moneyDgreat worryC15、Evolution (进化) has changed our bodies and faces over thou

37、sands of years, and its still happening. Heres how experts predict (预测) what people will be like in 1,000 years.Well be about 1.832.13 metres tall because of improved nutrition (营养) and medical science. Our arms and fingers will get longer to reduce the need to reach too far.Well have smaller brains

38、, maybe because computers will help us memorize and think most of the things.There will be larger eyes and smaller mouths. And there may be fewer teeth as softer food needs less chewing and biting. We could even get our nutrition from liquids or pills in the future.We can expect other great changes

39、too. Everyone will have the same shape of noses. Thats because climate will have less influence on noses with the help of air conditioning and central heating. Besides, we will have more wrinkles (皱纹) as a result of looking at our electronic devices.We also may end up with saggy (松弛的) necks because

40、extra sun will cause loose skin. And there will be darker skin as people move around the planet and races (种族) mix.根据材料内容选择最佳答案，并将其标号填入题前括号内。1Why will people become taller in 1,000 years?ABecause there will be the newest technology.BBecause there will be improved nutrition and medical science.CBecau

In fact, I think I cried very little when I wassaying goodbye to my friends and relatives. When we were leaving I thought about all the places I w

The country Iwas leaving never to come back was hardly in my head then.The four years that followed taught me the importance of optimism (乐观主义), but the idea did notcome to me at once. For the first two years in

49、New York I was really lost-having to study in threeschools as a result of family moves. I did not quite know what I was or what I should be. Mother remarried, and things became even more complex for me. Some time passed before my stepfather and Igot used to each other. I was often sad, and saw no en

But they had to keep the fires burning（燃烧）, for they couldnt

55、 start it again if there was no lightning. Later, they found out hitting two pieces of stones（石头）together could make a spark（火花）. The spark could fire dry leaves（树叶）. In this way they could make the fire again if it went out. Then people also learned to make a fire by rubbing（摩擦）. They made a hole o

56、n a big piece of wood（木头）and put a smaller stick（树枝）into the hole. They turned the stick again and again. After a few minutes they got a fire.As years went by, people learned other ways to make a fire. Sometimes they used the heat（热）from the sun. They held a piece of glass in the right way and made

57、a piece of paper on fire.About two centuries（世纪）ago，people began to make matches（火柴）. Matches brought people a quick and easy way to make fires. Today matches are still being used, but people have more new ways to make fires. One of them is to use an electric（屯子的）fire starter. Of course, an electric
