A ‎【解析】‎ ‎【原文】As a result of rising university costs, many students are finding it necessary to take on part- time jobs. To make finding those jobs easier, the placement services put together a listing of what’s available locally. For some students, these - 38 -‎ ‎ part-time jobs could lead to full time work after graduation, as they may offer experience in their own fields, whether it is finance, marketing or even management.‎ For example, National Saving Bank offers a job on a half time basis. That’s twenty hours a week. Stores and restaurants have positions requiring fewer hours. Even less time is expected of those providing child-care. We have a number of families registered with us who were looking for baby sitters for as few as 4 hours a week. For students who prefer outdoor work, there are seasonal positions right on campus, working with the gardening and landscaping teams. These often require the most time and are the least flexible in terms of scheduling.‎ To see a complete list of these and other available jobs, including the salary offered and the hours required, stop by our office. Oh, and be sure to bring a resume with you. When you find something that interests you, we’ll put you in touch with the person offering it. In addition, our counselors will give you hints about successful interviewing.‎ Questions:‎ Which of the following position requires the fewest working hours?‎ What will the counselors at the office help students do?‎ What is the purpose of the speech?‎ Questions are based on the following passage.【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】‎ ‎14. ‎ A. To find out what happened to the atmosphere and water of our planet.‎ B. To explore what occurred to the natural environment on Mars.‎ C. To confirm that Mars has a much thicker atmosphere now.‎ D. To have access to an orbit to circle around the Red Planet.‎ ‎15. ‎ A. Robots that can operate on batteries.‎ B. Robots that are less expensive to build.‎ C. Robots that can run quickly on four legs.‎ D. Robots that have greater load capacity.‎ - 38 -‎ ‎16. ‎ A. Its influence on U.S. movies and TV shows.‎ B. Its tough demands on overseas students.‎ C. Its attempt to spread American culture.‎ D. Its exclusion of American values.‎ ‎【答案】14. B 15. D 16. C ‎【解析】‎ ‎【原文】This is Radiolab. Here are the short news items.‎ In September, the U.S. scientific satellite MAVEN entered an orbit around Mars, with the mission of learning what happened on the Red Planet’s atmosphere and water. MAVEN’s principal investigator Bruce Jakosky says scientists now know that Mars once had a much denser atmosphere and that it has changed significantly over the last few billion years. What they still don’t know is how and why that happened.‎ Scientists have been experimenting with four-legged robots for years, trying to see if they could be used as pack animals for carrying heavy loads over a difficult terrain. But the machine’s power requirements limited their potential. That’s changed, with a running robot designed by a group of engineers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology that operates on batteries rather than heavy gasoline-powered engines.‎ People often blame Hollywood movies, U.S. television shows and fast food for spreading American culture around the world. But a college entrance exam? Some people are criticizing planned changes to the Scholastic Aptitude Test, or SAT, as an attempt to spread American values to students overseas. Since 2016, the SAT has required test-takers to read from parts of the U.S. Constitution, the Declaration of Independence or other historical documents.‎ Questions:‎ Why was scientific satellite MAVEN sent to space?‎ What is scientists’ latest research on robots?‎ What is the SAT accused of?‎ Questions are based on the following passage.【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】‎ - 38 -‎ ‎17. ‎ A.

The toilet is blocked and the sink has a few leaks.‎ D. The windows in the bathroom can keep the heat up.‎ ‎19. ‎ A. Attractive price. B. Convenient location.‎ C. Relaxing atmosphere. D. Furnished bedroom.‎ ‎20. ‎ A. Offer a loan to the man. B. Find a job for the man.‎ C. Help the man fix up the house. D. Look for another place.‎ ‎【答案】17. B 18. B 19. A 20. D ‎【解析】‎ ‎【原文】M: Hi, Catherine. Come on in.‎ W: Uh, yeah, I stopped by to see if you were still looking for a roommate to share your house.‎ M: Yep, I sure am. Ever since I reduce on my working hours to go to school, I have been really short on cash. Hey, let me show you around the place. Uh, here’s the living room.‎ W: Oh, It looks like you could use a new carpet…and those stains?‎ M: Well. I’ve had a few problems with some former roommates. I know it needs to be cleaned, but I just don’t have the money to do it right now.‎ W: Oh. And what about the kitchen?‎ M: Right this way. Look. It’s completely furnished with all the latest appliances - 38 -‎ ‎ except…Well, the refrigerator door is broken…a little bit…and it won’t shut all the way. It needs fixing, but don’t worry. I’ve pushed a box against it to keep it shut.‎ W: Hmm. Great. Well, how about the bathroom? No, no. Don’t tell me. The toilet is blocked or the sink has a few leaks.‎ M: No, those work well. Well, there’s another slight problem — the windows. I’ve put up a piece of cardboard to keep out the rain and snow, and if it gets a little cold, you can always turn up the heat.‎ W: Hey, I think I’ve seen enough. I can’t believe you’ve survived under these conditions.‎ M: So what do you think? You really can’t beat a place like this for $450 a month. So it has its problems, but we can fix those.‎ W: Oh, no, thank you. I think I will pass.‎ Questions:‎ Why does the man need to share his apartment with a roommate?‎ Which of the following statements is true about the man’s house?‎ What advantage does the man think his apartment has?‎ What will the woman probably do after she has seen the place?‎ II. Grammar and Vocabulary Section A Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.‎ Luxembourg makes all public transport free One square meter Luxembourg makes all public transport free. With a population of 602,000, Luxembourg is one of Europe’s ___21___ (small) countries - yet it suffers from major traffic jams. But that could be about to change. As of March 1, 2020 all public transport - trains, trams and buses - in the country is now free. The government hopes the move ___22___ (ease) heavy crowding and bring environmental benefits.‎ Tiny country, big traffic ___23___ (landlock) Luxembourg which is surrounded ‎ - 38 -‎ by three countries is one of the richest countries in Europe. ___24___ (take) up 2,586 square kilometers, Luxembourg is roughly the size of Rhode Island. From the capital of Luxembourg City, Belgium, France and Germany ___25___ all be reached by car in half an hour.‎ High housing costs, especially in Luxembourg City, mean more than 180,000 of the country’s workforce make regular journeys from those neighboring countries every day. Luxembourg is a very attractive place for jobs. But ___26___ “booming economy” and high concentration of jobs have led to crowding issues.‎ In 2016, Luxembourg had 662 cars per 1,000 people, and driving is a “primary means of transportation” for people. That year, drivers in Luxembourg City spent an average of 33 hours in traffic jams. It fared worse than European cities Copenhagen and Helsinki, ___27___ have comparable population sizes to all of Luxembourg - yet drivers in both only spent an average of 24 hours in traffic. Park and rides around Luxembourg’s borders in the three neighboring countries, however, will encourage commuters to use free mass transit.‎ Free transport for all Luxembourg’s public transport system covers the whole country and costs $562 million per year to run. The government is putting up the cost of it free so that the people can benefit from the good economy. People still hold the concern ___28___making transport free may unintentionally prevent people who would normally walk or cycle in urban areas. ___29___walking 500 meters, people see a bus coming and they say, “we can get on and travel 500 meters ____30____it’s free”.However, the new scheme can signal important changes ahead when it comes to Luxembourg’s reliance on driving.‎ The government might say, “It’s important that you throw away your car, and look, we made public transport free” - and maybe this is helpful given the enormous cultural shift we need.”‎ ‎【答案】21. smallest ‎ ‎22. will ease ‎ ‎23. landlocked ‎ ‎24.

Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.‎ At the Oscars, Parasite Makes Best Picture History At Sunday’s Oscars, on a night when almost everything went as planned and as usual, the one true surprise came in the biggest moment of all.‎ For the first time ever, a film in a foreign language won Best Picture when Bong Joon-ho’s Parasite, a comedy-drama-thriller about class and secrets, took the big prize.

The evening began three and a half hours earlier with a(n) ___34___ of the old and the new: the kind of themed singing-dancing number that used to be the___35___ Oscars opening, but in the absence of a traditional host, it was performed by the thoroughly modern Janelle Monáe. A version of her own song Come Alive was___36___ by dancers dressed in costumes showing respect to black filmmakers. The speech that followed, however, was much more___37___ and unpleasant, despite the best efforts of Chris Rock and Steve Martin, the latter of whom___38___ blew the name of best actress nominee Cynthia Erivo.‎ The awards in general have been heavily criticized for how white the nominees are, the failure to nominate any women directors in a year when several made highly regarded films, and plenty of other lack of inclusivity. The Academy’s___39___ with that criticism seemed evident: There may not have been a lot of performers of color among the nominees, but there were a lot among the presenters and speakers and performers.

Reading Comprehension Section A Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.‎ Facial-Recognition Technology Cannot Read Emotions Do not believe claims that facial-recognition technology can accurately identify people’s emotions, advised several scientists at the 2020 AAAS Annual Meeting in Seattle.‎ Such claims that a photo of a face can be easily___41___are based on a flawed theory that we smile when we are happy and scowl (沉下脸) when angry, said Professor Aleix Martinez. “There’s no way that technology will ever be able to detect___42___ that you’re experiencing following that approach,” Martinez said.‎ Research shows that, on average, people scowl only 30% of the time that they are - 38 -‎ ‎ angry, said Lisa Feldman Barrett, professor of psychology at Northeastern University. The rest of the time, they make other faces when they are angry, she said.___43___, people may scowl for other reasons — “when they’re concentrating, when someone tells them a bad joke,” she said. “Any AI that is claiming to detect a scowl and interpreting it as anger has some real___44___.”‎ So much goes into communicating our emotions beyond our___45___ movements. Other factors involving little use of language include our body pose, body movement and hormone responses like those that cause one’s face to go red from embarrassment or___46___, said Martinez.‎ Martinez offered an example of the importance of having enough information. For instance, when he showed people a photo of a ____47____ man with his mouth wide open and his eyes nearly closed, most thought the man was extremely angry, his research showed. Yet anyone viewing the context — that the subject was a soccer player — could____48____ that he was displaying excitement while celebrating a goal.‎ A mistake like this may not matter much, but so-called emotion-recognition technology has a larger reach. The technology’s ____49____ to incorporate facial movements could have serious, even dangerous outcomes, said Martinez. AI is sometimes used in classrooms, in the judicial (司法的) system and in hiring for jobs, he noted. Many of these systems learn from U.S. and European data _______50_______ by white people. Such inputs could negatively impact, for instance, the hiring of candidates of other races, Martinez said. “I think we have to take seriously the_______51_______ in which this AI is being used,” said Barrett.‎ Seth Pollak, professor of psychology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, shared research about the______52______ of our ability to understand facial expressions and emotions. For several decades, scientists thought that infants arrived into the world with a little understanding about emotions, Pollak said. To the contrary, babies do not express______53______ emotions. They have a distress system that broadcasts whether they are OK or not. Children learn about emotions beyond good or bad, and research shows that even with incredibly brief levels of exposure to contextual information, very young children start to change how they______54______‎ - 38 -‎ ‎ their inferences about other people’s emotions. “Human brains are actually able to______55______ patterns and make inferences about what might be happening at a sophisticated computational level with actually very little experience.” he said.‎ ‎41.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.‎ ‎(A)‎ ‎　Suddenly Uncle Henry stood up. “There’s a cyclone coming, Em,” he called to his wife. “I’ll go look after the stock.” Then he ran toward the sheds where the cows - 38 -‎ ‎ and horses were kept.‎ Aunt Em dropped her work and came to the door. One glance told her of the danger close at hand. “Quick, Dorothy!” she screamed. “Run for the cellar!” Toto jumped out of Dorothy’s arms and hid under the bed, and the girl started to get him. Aunt Em, badly frightened, threw open the trap door in the floor and climbed down the ladder into the small, dark hole. Dorothy caught Toto at last and started to follow her aunt. When she was halfway across the room there came a great roar from the wind, and the house shook so hard that she lost her footing and sat down suddenly upon the floor.‎ Then a strange thing happened. The house circled around two or three times and rose slowly through the air. Dorothy felt as if she were going up in a balloon. It was very dark, and the wind blew horribly around her, but Dorothy found she was riding quite easily. After the first few twists and turns, and one other time when the house tipped badly, she felt as if she were being rocked gently, like a baby in a cradle (摇篮). Toto did not like it. He ran about the room, now here, now there, barking loudly; but Dorothy sat quite still on the floor and waited to see what would happen.‎ At last she crawled over the swinging floor to her bed, and lay down upon it; and Toto followed and lay down beside her. In spite of the swinging of the house and the crying of the wind, Dorothy soon closed her eyes and fell fast asleep.‎ ‎56. What does the underlined word “cyclone” in paragraph 1 probably mean?‎ A. deadline B. flood C. monster D. tornado ‎57. Why did Aunt Em go into the hole in the floor when the cyclone approached?‎ A. To find the puppy Toto. B. To find shelter from the cyclone.‎ C. To protect their fortune. D. To get tools to help Henry.‎ ‎58. Which of the following is True about Dorothy?‎ A. She managed to control the house. B. She found herself flying in a balloon.‎ C She turned baby crying loudly. D. She remained undisturbed with Toto.‎ ‎59. Which words can be used to describe Dorothy in the emergency?‎ - 38 -‎ A. Afraid and brave. B. Curious and tired.‎ C. Flexible and calm. D. Excited and thrilled.‎ ‎【答案】56. D 57. B 58. D 59. C ‎【解析】‎ 本文是记叙文。文章讲述了当风暴来临时一家人对风暴不同的反应。Em姨妈快速地寻找庇护所，Henry急忙去看家畜而Dorothy并没有慌张而是灵活镇定地应对这场风暴。‎ ‎【56题详解】‎ 词义猜测题。根据第二段和第三段中提到的“the wind”以及第三段中的“the house tipped badly, she felt as if she were being rocked gently, like a baby in a cradle.”可知，房屋严重倾斜以及Dorothy觉得自己好像被轻轻摇动了，就像摇篮里的婴儿一样，这是风暴导致的结果，因此划线词指的是tornado（风暴，旋风）。故选D。‎ ‎【57题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Aunt Em, badly frightened, threw open the trap door in the floor and climbed down the ladder into the small, dark hole.”可知，Em姨妈吓坏了，把地板上的活板门打开了，顺着梯子爬进了一个小黑洞中。由此可知，旋风接近时， Em姨妈钻进地板下面的洞中是为了在风暴来临时寻找庇护所。故选B。‎ ‎【58题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据最后一段“At last she crawled over the swinging floor to her bed, and lay down upon it; and Toto followed and lay down beside her. In spite of the swinging of the house and the crying of the wind, Dorothy soon closed her eyes and fell fast asleep.”可知，最后，她爬过摆动的地板到了床上。Toto跟着她在旁边躺下。尽管房子在摇晃，风声很大，但Dorothy很快还是闭上了眼睛睡着了。由此可知，Dorothy和Toto并没有受到打扰。故选D。‎ ‎【59题详解】‎ 推理判断题。由上一题的分析可知，Dorothy在风暴来临后，并没有慌张而是灵活镇定地应对这场风暴。因此C项能够描述Dorothy。故选C。‎ ‎(B)‎ The Apollo Missions - 38 -‎ ‎“That's one small step for a man. One giant leap for mankind.”‎ ‎— Neil Armstrong Apollo’s Goals The national effort that enabled Astronaut Neil Armstrong to speak those words as he stepped onto the lunar surface fulfilled a dream as old as humanity. Project Apollo’s goals went beyond landing Americans on the moon and returning them safely to Earth.‎ Apollo 13‎ Apollo 13 has been called a “successful failure,” because the crew never landed on the Moon, but they made it home safely after an explosion crippled their ship. When the associated heater was turned on during flight, the tank exploded depleting almost all of the power from the command module and forcing the crew to use the lunar module as a lifeboat. Jim Lovell, Fred Haise and Jack Swigert came home safely thanks to the mission control team’s improvised procedures and their own ability to implement them.(Launch: April 11, 1970; splashdown: April 17)‎ Apollo 14‎ - 38 -‎ Notable for the return of America’s first astronaut, Alan Shepard, to space, Apollo 14 also was probably the smoothest lunar landing to that point. The crew spent more than nine hours outside the lunar module and set up a number of experiments. Shepard set a new distance record by walking more than 9,000 feet on the lunar surface, pulling a hand cart to carry their tools and samples.(Launch: Jan. 31, 1971: lunar landing: Feb. 5: splashdown, Feb. 9)‎ Apollo 15‎ For the first time, humans drove a car on the Moon. The first of the Apollo “J” Missions-designed for longer stays on the Moon - the mission carried a lunar rover, which Commander David Scott and Lunar Module Pilot James Irwin used while they were on the surface for more than I8 hours. They traveled more than 17 miles in the rover, setting up experiments and collecting 170 pounds of samples. Before leaving the lunar surface, Scott conducted an experiment to test Galileo’s theory that objects in vacuum, without air resistance, would fall at the same rate. He dropped a geological hammer and a feather, which hit the ground at the same time, proving Galileo right.(Launch: July 26, 1971, lunar landing: July 30: splashdown: Aug. 7)‎ ‎60. Why has Apollo 13 been called a “successful failure”?‎ A. Apollo 13 finally exploded as planned in space.‎ B. All the crew succeeded in landing on the Moon.‎ C. The crew managed to escape from a severe accident and returned to Earth.‎ D. The crew finished the experiment although they failed to land on the Moon.‎ ‎61. Which of the following is True according to the passage?‎ A. It took five days for Apollo 14 to reach the Moon.‎ B. The lunar rover was used as a lifeboat for space travel.‎ C. Shepard tested Galileo’s theory successfully on the Moon.‎ D. Apollo 15 remained in space for the shortest period of time.‎ - 38 -‎ ‎62.

One giant leap for mankind.”— Neil Armstrong”（“这对一个男人来说是一小步。对人类来说是一个巨大的飞跃。”——尼尔·阿姆斯特朗），第二段最后一句“Project Apollo’s goals went beyond landing Americans on the moon and returning them safely to Earth.”（阿波罗计划的目标不仅仅是让美国人登上月球，还要让他们安全返回地球。）和各段小标题Apollo’s Goals、Apollo 13、Apollo 14和Apollo 15，可知本文讲的是阿波罗太空登月计划，去探索未知的月球，推断出在文章的“探索未知”栏出现。故选B项。‎ - 38 -‎ ‎【点睛】在高考中，细节理解题为频繁常考题型，集中考查文中细节。在做此类题型时，同学们可以先从问题中找到关键词，然后以此为线索，运用略读和查阅技巧迅速在文中找到这一细节，把这部分内容仔细读一遍，比较所给选项与文中细节的细微差别。如在第1小题中，分析问题，得到关键词successful failure，迅速定位到第三段，找到句子“Apollo 13 has been called a “successful failure,” because the crew never landed on the Moon, but they made it home safely after an explosion crippled their ship.”可知，“成功的失败”是因为船员们设法从一次严重事故中逃脱，返回了地球。故选C项。‎ ‎(C)‎ The story of chocolate begins with the discovery of America in 1492. Columbus was the first European to come into contact with cacao. Columbus was struck by how much value the Indians placed on them as he did not know the beans were used by currency. It is unlikely that Columbus brought any of these beans back to Spain and it was not until about 25 years later that Cortez grasped the commercial possibilities when he found the Aztecs using the beans to make the royal drink “chocolate”.‎ The Spanish, in general, were not fond of the bitter drink so Cortez and his followers made it more palatable by adding cane sugar and later cinnamon and vanilla were added. Spanish monks let the secret out back home and, although the Spanish hid it from their neighbors for a hundred years, finally chocolate’s popularity grew until it was their fashionable drink at the French court and the wise choice of customers at London meeting houses.‎ The cacao tree is strictly a tropical plant only in hot, rainy climates. Thus, its cultivation is limited to countries not more than 20 degrees north or south of the equator (赤道). The cacao tree is very delicate and sensitive. It needs protection from the wind and requires a fair amount of shade under most conditions. This is true especially in its first two or three years of growth. A newly planted young cacao tree is often sheltered by a different type of trees. It is normal to plant food crops for shade such as bananas, plantain, coconuts or cocoyams. Rubber trees and forest trees are also used for shade. Once established, however, cacao trees can grow in full sunlight, provided there are fertile soil conditions and intensive farming. With cutting and careful cultivation, the trees of strains will begin bearing fruit in the fifth year. With extreme care, some strains can be stimulated to produce good crops in the third and fourth year.‎ The process of turning cacao into chocolate hasn’t changed much since the Swiss ‎ - 38 -‎ made the major breakthroughs in the process in the late 1800s. First the beans go through a process of fermentation ( 发酵 ) and drying. They are then sorted by hand before cleaning and then roasting. Winnowing ( 风 扬 ) follows which removes the hard outer layers and leaves what is as the “grains”. A crushing and heating process known as Hunte’s Process is then used to remove nearly half of the cocoa butter from the nibs. This makes unsweetened chocolate. Basic eating chocolate is made from a mixture of the unsweetened chocolate with some of the cocoa butter along with other ingredients such as sugar and vanilla. The resulting product is then “purified” and this purifying gives chocolate the silky texture that we know so well. The finished result is then shaped, cooled, packaged by machine, distributed, sold and of course, eaten!‎ ‎63. Why didn’t Columbus bring beans back to Spain at once when he found cacao?‎ A. Because he couldn’t afford to buy the cacao bean.‎ B. Because he didn’t know how to turn cacao bean into chocolate.‎ C. Because he was not aware of the monetary value of cacao bean then.‎ D. Because Spaniards then didn’t favour the chocolate that the Aztecs originally drank.‎ ‎64. The underlined word “palatable” in paragraph 2 probably means .‎ A. affordable B. agreeable C. patent D. portable ‎65. Which of the following is correct about cacao tree?‎ A. Cacao trees need a lot of looking after to be used commercially.‎ B. Cacao trees require hot, rainy climates and adequate sunlight.‎ C. Cacao trees won’t produce fruit until the fifth year.‎ D. Cacao trees can grow well in all continents.‎ ‎66. Which is the correct order of turning cocoa into chocolate?‎ ‎① The chocolate is reheated to melt it, put into patterns and then cooled to make its final shapes.‎ ‎② The beans are harvested on the farm.‎ ‎③ Some cocoa butter is then obtained using Hunte’s Process to make cooking chocolate.‎ ‎④ The cooking chocolate is then mixed with other ingredients to make the various - 38 -‎ ‎ types of eating chocolate available today.‎ ‎⑤ The beans are winnowed after fermentation and drying and these two processes produce the grains.‎ ‎⑥ The finished product is wrapped, sent to shops and then sold.‎ A. ②①③④⑤⑥ B. ②③①⑤④⑥ C. ②④⑤①③⑥ D. ②⑤③④①⑥‎ ‎【答案】63. C 64. B 65. A 66. D ‎【解析】‎ 本文是一篇说明文。讲述了可可传入欧洲的历史，可可树的种植，巧克力和可可饮料的制作过程。‎ ‎【63题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据第一段的It is unlikely that Columbus brought any of these beans back to Spain and it was not until about 25 years later that Cortez grasped the commercial possibilities when he found the Aztecs using the beans to make the royal drink “chocolate”. (哥伦布不太可能把这些豆子带回西班牙，直到大约25年后，科特兹才掌握了商业可能性，当时他发现阿兹特克人用豆子做皇家饮料“巧克力”。)可推断，因为他那时候不知道可可豆的货币价值，因此没有把可可豆带回西班牙。故选C。‎ ‎【64题详解】‎ 词句猜测题。根据上文The Spanish, in general, were not fond of the bitter drink(西班牙人不喜欢这种苦饮)和下文by adding cane sugar and later cinnamon and vanilla were added(加入蔗糖，然后加入肉桂和香草)可推断，因为西班牙人不喜欢苦饮，因此科特兹和他的追随者通过添加蔗糖让它更容易接受，因此推断划线词与agreeable“接受的”意思相同。故选B。‎ ‎【65题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据第三段的The cacao tree is strictly a tropical plant only in hot, rainy climates. (可可树严格来说是热带植物，仅在炎热多雨的气候下。)和The cacao tree is very delicate and sensitive. It needs protection from the wind and requires a fair amount of shade under most conditions.(可可树非常细腻敏感的。它需要防风，在大多数情况下需要相当多的阴影)可推断，可可树需要得到大量的照顾才能被商业使用，故选A。‎ ‎【66题详解】‎ - 38 -‎ 细节理解题。根据第四段的First the beans go through a process of fermentation ( 发酵 ) and drying. They are then sorted by hand before cleaning and then roasting. Winnowing ( 风 扬 ) follows which removes the hard outer layers and leaves what is as the “grains”. A crushing and heating process known as Hunte’s Process is then used to remove nearly half of the cocoa butter from the nibs.(首先豆类经过发酵和干燥的过程，然后，在清洗和烘焙之前，用手对它们进行分类。随后进行风杨，移除坚硬的外层，留下所谓的“谷物”。一种被称为Hunte破碎和加热过程被用来从豆中去除近一半的可可油。)可知，首先要收获可可豆，豆经发酵和干燥后簸扬，这两个过程产生谷物；然后，用Hunte的过程获得一些可可油来制作烹饪巧克力，在结合第四段下文可知，故选D。‎ Section C Directions: Read the following passage.

Not only are they up to 100 million times more sensitive than ours, they can sense weak thermal radiation- the body heat of mammalian (哺乳动物的) prey, a new study reveals. The find helps explain how dogs with damaged sight, hearing, or smell can still hunt successfully.‎ ‎“It’s a fascinating discovery,” says Marc Bekoff, an expert on dog sniffing (嗅探). “It provides yet another window into the sensory worlds of dogs’ highly evolved cold noses.” The ability to sense weak, radiating heat is known in only some animals: black fire beetles, certain snakes, and one species of mammal, the common vampire bat, all of which use it to hunt prey.___67___ But the tips of dogs’ noses are moist, colder than the surrounding temperature, and richly endowed with nerves-all of which suggests an ability to detect not just smell, but heat.‎ To test the idea, researchers at Lund University trained three pet dogs to choose between a warm (31°C) and a surrounding-temperature object, each placed 1.6 meters away.___68___ (Scientists could only detect the difference by touching the surfaces.) After training, the dogs were tested on their skill in double-blind experiments; all three successfully detected the objects emitting weak thermal - 38 -‎ ‎ radiation.‎ Next, the researchers scanned the brains of 13 pet dogs of various breeds while presenting the dogs with objects emitting neutral or weak thermal radiation. The left somatosensory cortex in dogs’ brains, was more responsive to the warm thermal stimulus than to the neutral one. The scientists identified a group of 14 voxels (体素) in this region of the dogs’ left brains , but didn’t find any in the right, and none in any part of the dogs’ brains in response to the neutral stimulus.‎ ‎___69___ Also, a specific region of their brains is activated by this infrared (relating to a type of light) radiation, the scientists say. They suspect dogs inherited the ability from their ancestor, the gray wolf, who may use it to sniff out warm bodies during a hunt.‎ ‎“The study is consistent with other research that describes the combined dog nose and brain as a highly complicated platform for processing a broad range of signals,” says Gary Settles, a professor of mechanical engineering at Pennsylvania State University. “The dog nose can distinguish patterns of hot and cold objects at a distance,” he said. “___70___ That needs further study.”‎ A. If nothing else, the work suggests the extraordinary skills of the dog.‎ B. The dogs weren’t able to see or smell the difference between these objects.‎ C. But dogs’ thermal detection skills may not be useful for long distance hunting.‎ D. Most mammals have naked, smooth skin on the tips of their noses around the nostrils (鼻孔).‎ E.

The parent-child relationship is central to children’s social and emotional health and life success — yet I also see how more and more family interactions interrupted by mobile devices … including my own.‎ My interest in the topic began in 2010. I worked for a year as a pediatrician in the suburbs outside of Seattle. Many of the parents bringing in their sick kids worked at tech companies and were early adopters of mobile devices. During my training, I had gotten used to children playing with handheld gaming devices, but this was different: parents texted during health-related conversations (were they really processing what I was saying?); looked up medical information online to check my accuracy (was this a sign of parent anxiety?); and used videos to stop children from crying (this was pretty helpful during ear exams, but is it OK other times, I wondered?).‎ I was fascinated by the cultural change America was experiencing with the rapid adoption of mobile devices. But as a pediatrician, I had no idea what to do about it. So when I moved to Boston for training in Developmental Behavioral Pediatrics, I decided to explore the topic in more depth.‎ I started my research by observing families in fast food restaurants and the results were pretty eye-opening: when parents’ attention was highly absorbed in their smartphones, parents talked less to children; responded slower (or not at all) to child bids for attention; and sometimes overreacted to child behavior.‎ Our more recent studies show that in the long-run, parent technology use during parent-child activities leads to more difficult child behavior — which in turn leads to more parent technology usage. It’s a vicious cycle: when kids stress us out, we often go to our phones for escape or to avoid interaction, and this interrupts time with kids or makes them annoyed, and they might react with difficult behavior, and so on.‎ As a working mom of two young boys, I knew how this child-phone multitasking felt to me, but I wanted to hear what others thought. So I interviewed 35 parents from - 38 -‎ ‎ diverse backgrounds in Boston to understand their experiences. They told me they have never felt their brains split in so many directions — like all the matters of the world could intrude upon home time and “land in their lap”. They expressed both relief and despair when their phones were broken or lost, because while this made it easier to “single-task” on their kids again, they also felt cut off from friends and information.‎ ‎___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎【答案】My experience as a pediatrician aroused my interest in the effects of smart-phones on parenting.
