四、阅读理解

George Shull was born in 1874 on a farm in Clark County, Obio, and his knowledge of plants and hybrids

came at an early age. Being needed on the farm, Shull received his early formal education off and on. However, it

was supplemented (增补) by intense home study so that by 1892. he was teaching in a public school, and later

attending Antioch College.

In 1901, he graduated from Antioch and went to the University of Chicago to do graduate work. With his

knowledge of botany and experience with farming practices, Shull passed a Civil Service exam, and was appointed

as a botanical assistant at the U. S. National Herbarium. He also worked at the U. S. Bureau of Plant Industry as a

botanical expert examining the plants and animals of Chesapeake Bay and Currituck Sound. The data he collected

during this time was to comprise his Ph. D．thesis (论文). And in 1904 he was appointed to be in charge of plant

work at the Station for Experimental Evolution.

He began working on corn in 1905. Following Gregor Mendel’s example, Shull obtained purebred (纯种的)

lines of corn through self-pollination (自花受粉). The pure-bred lines were less healthy and productive, but when

he crossed the pure-bred lines, the hybrid yields were better than any of the parents or those pollinated in the open

fields. He immediately recognized the potential for using this strategy to improve crop yields.

In 1915, Shull accepted a professorship at Princeton University. With his encouragement, Princeton University

Press began the publication of a new journal, Genetics. Shull was the managing editor for ten years. Genetics is still

one of the top international science journals.

Shull retired in 1942. He and his wife spent most of their later years with their children and grandchildren.

21．What does the underlined part “off and on” in paragraph 1 mean?

A．Not surprisingly.

regularly.

22．What’s paragraph 2 mainly about?

A．George Shull’s contributions.

C．George Shull’s work experience.

B．George Shull’s research

D．George Shull’s education.

B．Very formally. C．Very excellently. D．Not

23．What was so special about Shull’s method of corn breeding?

A．It completely relied on self-pollination. B．It was first published in Genetics.

C．It was widely accepted in Ohio. D．It focused on crossing pure-bred lines.

24．How does the author mainly develop the text?

A．By giving examples.

C．By making comparisons.

Recently researchers are discovering that learning is easier, quicker and more long-lasting if it involves the

body. To some extent, the discovery should come as no surprise. Consider that many of us probably began to

understand basic arithmetic (算术) by counting on our fingers before learning to count in our head.

Conventional thinking had it that as we grew, we became more able to think abstractly (抽象地), which might

suggest teachers should help wean children off body gestures to prepare them for the adult world. But in truth, the

physical world never really leaves our thinking. For example, when we process verbs such as lick, kick and pick,

medical scanners show that the parts of our brain that control the muscles in our face, legs and hands become more

active.

This theory is called embodied cognition (体验认知), and it suggests that what goes on in our minds comes

from our actions and interactions with the world around us. It means that encouraging children to think and learn in

a completely abstract way might actually make lessons harder for them to understand and remember.

Science is beginning to support the idea that actions really might speak louder than words in the classroom.

Spencer Kelly, a psychologist at Colgate University in New York, has found that people spend three times as much

time making gestures when the message they convey is particularly important. Kelly has also found evidence that

students like a teacher better when that teacher uses arm and hand movements to emphasize points. Meanwhile,

B．By following time order.

D．By presenting a scientific study.

Susan Wagner Cook, a psychologist at the University of Iowa in Iowa City, has found that children pick up new

concepts more effectively if they are taught to mirror and repeat the gestures their teacher uses, and that lessons

involving words and gestures live longer in a student’s memory than lessons using words alone.

25．What does the underlined phrase “wean children off body gestures” in paragraph 2 mean?

A．Let children be aware of body gestures.

B．Make children stop using body gestures.

C．Give children an account of body gestures.

D．Encourage children to use body gestures.

26．According to embodied cognition, which of the following statements can be inferred?

A．Our minds can help shape reality.

B．It’s not easy to understand abstract concepts.

C．The environment around is important for one’s cognition.

D．Interacting with the world improves one’s memory.

27．What can we learn from Spencer Kelly’s study?

A．Body movements can raise a teacher’s popularity.

B．Young students like to mirror their teacher’s gestures.

C．Using body gestures makes students love learning.

D．Body language is more powerful than spoken language.

28．Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?

A．Words are more important than actions in a classroom.

B．We just need to involve the body in learning when we are young.

C．Teachers had better combine words and gestures to achieve better teaching effect.

D．Example of processing verbs is mentioned to prove that we can think abstractly.

29．What is the text mainly about?

A．A study on classroom teaching.

C．The function of body language.

When someone damages their backbone, the injury can leave them paralyzed (瘫痪). Now, scientists have

given three paralyzed men the ability to walk again, thanks to an implanted device.

The human backbone, or spine, doesn’t just help us stand up straight. Inside is the spinal cord, which carries

B．The dark side of thinking abstractly.

D．A new finding about learning.

important information between the head and the lower part of the body. This information moves around as bursts of

electricity traveling between the brain and the other parts of the body. When the spinal cord is hurt, this pathway

gets damaged and they can’t move their legs.

Now scientists in Switzerland have given three paralyzed men the ability to walk again. To help them walk

again, the men had surgery. A special device was placed directly on the lower part of their spinal cord, below their

injury.

This “implant” contained sixteen electrodes, which are small objects that electricity can pass through. The

researchers made sure the electrodes were lined up with nerves that control the leg muscles. The scientists

controlled the implants from a tablet computer.

The patient’s brains aren’t sending “walking”messages to their legs. Instead, the tablet tells the implant to send

the walking messages. The researchers used computers to generate patterns of movement, like taking a step. The

patient then uses the tablet to choose the pattern and the muscles move in the chosen way. Over time, the men were

able to walk using a special walker with buttons to control each leg.

The solution isn’t perfect. It’s very expensive, it requires difficult surgery, and the patients can’t walk without

the system. But the scientists are hopeful that in the future, this sort of technology will allow many paralyzed

people to begin to walk again in just hours.

30．What’s the main function of the spinal cord?

A．It serves as a message carrier.

C．It takes control of the muscles.

B．It helps people stand up straight.

D．It produces signals for movements.

31．What is the implanted device expected to do?

A．Activate the damaged nerves.

C．Test the degree of the damage.

32．What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?

A．How the surgery is performed.

C．How the patients walk without aid.

B．How the device works on patients.

D．How movement patterns are designed.

B．Identify the position of the injury.

D．Bridge the nerve gap made by the injury.

33．What’s the scientists’ attitude towards the planted device?

A．critical B．neutral C．indifferent D．favorable

34．Which can be the best title of the text?

A．Damaged nerves recover after surgery.

B．Tablets are used in a medical treatment.

C．Implant helps the paralyzed walk again.

D．Scientists made a discovery on backbones.

五、七选五

Consumers in the United States spent nearly $3.7 million on dish washing soap in 2018 to get their dishes

clean. That sets the question: Do we really need dish washing soap to get our dishes clean? The short answer is: No.

35

How can we get our dishes clean without using dish washing soap? Hot water is an effective and time-tested

method. A lot of what we eat is water-soluble and can simply be washed away with very hot water. 36 They

need an alkali (碱) to break them down. So, if you’re out of dish soap and have a thick oily pan to wash, you’ll

need to make your own soap by adding an alkali to hot water.

You can also run your dishwasher using only the rinse (漂洗) cycle. Simply remove the remains thoroughly by

hand and load as usual in the machine. Add white vinegar, a sharp-tasting liquid used in cooking, to the cleaning

cup. 37 Set your dishwasher on the rinse cycle and you will get clean, shim dishes.

If you’re a camper or a farmer, plant and wood ashes—remains of burnt plants and wood—are readily

available in the remains of your campfire, which have served as dish washing soap for a long time. Gather some

ashes from your campfire and put them in a pot. In a separate pot boil some water. Slowly pour hot water over the

ashes, just enough to make a mixture. 38

While wood ashes may not win the good housekeeping seal of approval, they’ll clean your pan and get it ready

for air drying.

39 Whether you find yourself down to the last drop of your dish washing soap at home, forget to bring

it along on your camping trip or just want to try an eco-friendly, natural alternative, turn to these things to help you.

A．We can get along without it.

B．An eco-friendly cleaning solution is created.

C．Animal fats and proteins, however, are the opposite.

D．People used unusual things in the natural world around them.

E．Dish washing soap has been around since the mid-20th century.

F．It’s good to know that there’re alternatives to make your dishes clean.

G．The acid will wipe out the harmful things and keep the dishes from spotting.
