The Zhou royal

10、court had a specialized department called “ice administration”. They collected natural ice blocks each December to store in the icehouse. During the Qing Dynasty, “ice tickets” were used and they were available only to officials and the rich. Ice containerThe most commonly used cooling tool is calle

11、d “Jian”, which is a big container filled with ice. It was made of clay in early Chinese history, and was later made of copper (铜). The “Jian” can be seen as an ancient refrigerator, which can be used to make cold drinks. Hiding food in the wellDuring the Qin and Han dynasties, for common people, th

12、e most common way to cool off is by using their wells. Some families put a pot in the well as a cold closet, or put food in a basket and lowered the basket into the well with a rope. Herbal drinksDuring the Qing Dynasty, taking Chinese herbal medicine was popular in Beijing. In hot summer, some peop

15、 heroes are not super. They dont appear in comic books, on television, or in movies. They just do what they believe needs to be done to make their world a better place. Bike Batman is one of them.Bike Batman is a 30-year-old married engineer who lives in Seattle, Washington. Hes a cyclist who also b

16、uys and sells bikes as a hobby.About three years ago, he was looking for a bike for his wife. He found one on Craigslist, a website where people list things they want to sell. As he often does, he also looked at Bike Index, a popular website that allows users to register their bikes and post reports

17、 when theyre taken. The bike, which he was considering purchasing, clearly matched one reported stolen on Bike Index. Then he called the person who claimed to be the bikes owner and arranged to meet him- supposedly to complete the sale. When the two men met, Bike Batman told the thief, “Youve got tw

18、o options. You can wait until a police officer gets here, or you can just get out of here.” You can imagine what the thief did.After that first success, Bike Batman developed a safer routine. When he sees questionable bike ads on Craigslist, he cross-references the image with bikes reported on Bike

19、Index. Once he has confirmed it with the owner, he arranges a meet-up with the thief and will call the Seattle police department so that officers can participate in the action. In more than half of the 22 cases in which he has got back and returned bikes, the thieves have been arrested. In one case,

20、 Bike Batman even helped a family recover a wide range of prized possessions that suspects had stolen during a home burglary.His nickname came from a discussion with a police officer who suggested he be called “Robin Hood”. Since he wasnt exactly stealing from the rich and giving to the poor, “Batma

21、n” seemed a better fit. The idea of a superhero punishing criminals feels pretty silly to him, but the main reason he continues his work is to keep up Seattles reputation as a friendly city.24. What can we know about Bike Batman?A. Bike Batman is a website manager.B. Bike Batman is a Seattle citizen

22、.C. Bike Batman is a police officer.D. Bike Batman is a superhero.25. When Bike Batman discovers a questionable bike, he will first_A. arrange to meet the thiefB. call the police departmentC. look up the bikes informationD. contact the owner of the stolen bike26. Why did Bike Batman helped find the

23、lost bikes after that first success?A. He wanted to become famous.B. He hoped to help poor people.C. He just wanted to punish bike thieves.D. He was eager to build a friendly city.27. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Bike Batman began his good deeds by accident.B. The police failed to perfor

24、m their duties.C. The thieves refused to return the bikes.D. Bike Batman felt relieved to see the thieves arrested.CA bat and a ball cost $1.10 in total. The bat costs $1.00 more than the ball. How much does the ball cost?If you answered 10 cents, youre not alonemost people give the same answer (the

25、 correct answer is 5 cents). Its an example of how we often rely on intuitive(直觉的) responsesanswers we feel are true. People give answers that “pop into their mind”，says Steven Sloman. We dont spend much time “reflecting and checking whether the answer is right or wrong.” The bat and ball question h

26、elps explain why we often believe in fake(假的) news. It is part of human nature to believe, says Sloman. But “the trick with fake news is to know to verify”in other words, to stop and question what you know. In one experiment, Sloman and a colleague invented a discovery called helium rain. They told

27、a group of volunteers about it, but admitted they could not fully explain what it was. They then asked the volunteers to rate their own understanding of helium rain. Most volunteers rated themselves 1 out of 7, meaning they did not understand the concept. The researchers then told another group of v

28、olunteers about the discovery. This time, they said that scientists could fully explain how it works. When asked to rate their understanding, the volunteers gave an average answer of 2. The scientists confidence gave the volunteers an increased sense of their own understanding, Sloman says.According

29、 to Sloman, studies show that knowledge spreads like a contagion(传染病). This idea can be seen in many fields, including politics. “If everyone around you is saying they understand why a politician is dishonest，” Sloman says, “then youre going to start thinking that you understand, too.” Another expla

30、nation for the spread of fake news is “motivated reasoning，” writes Adam Wyatz, an American management professor. “We are naturally more likely to believe things that confirm our existing opinions.”So, in a world where misleading information is common, training people to care about factchecking is i

31、mportant, especially in online communities. “We should check things and not just take them at face value，” Sloman says. “Verify before you believe.”28Whats the purpose of using the example of the bat and ball question in the first paragraph?A. To demonstrate that people tend to rush to a conclusion.

32、BTo show that there are various answers to a question.CTo stimulate peoples interest in playing guessing games.DTo warn that people are poor at calculating skills in their daily life.29. What does the underlined word “verify” mean in Paragraph 3?ATo follow your intuitive sense.BTo confirm something

33、is true.CTo consider something seriously.DTo speak out the understanding about something30In which situation do more volunteers claim to understand helium rain?AWhen some experts explained it to them.BWhen they believed that scientists understood it.CWhen they have more confidence in themselves.DWhe

34、n Sloman and his colleagues showed them how it works.31Which of the following is an example of “motivated reasoning”？AYou think a university professor dishonest when everybody around you say so.BYou post a message online that gives your personal opinion about a news story.CYou search online for more

35、 information about a doubtful story on social media. DYou believe a damaging story about someone who you always judge negatively.DScientists have developed a new type of smart bandage that can signal the type of bacterial infection its protecting, just like a traffic light, as well as release the ri

36、ght type of drugs on demand. The traffic light system works just like this: Green means no bacteria or a low concentration of bacteria, yellow means drug-sensitive (DS) bacteria responsive to standard antibiotics (抗生素) and causes antibiotic release, and red means drug-resistant (DR) bacteria that ne

37、ed extra help to be wiped out.In testing the bandage on mice, the research team was able to successfully treat both DS and DR infections using the new method. However, the common methods of sensing resistance are limited by time, the requirement for professional personnel, and expensive instruments.

38、 Moreover, the abuse of antibiotics causes the accelerated process of bacterial resistance.Its easy to see how a simple bandage and light could overcome some of these limitations. Treatment doesnt have to wait for a doctor to make a diagnosis, and the bandage can get the right sort of drugs applied

39、at the earliest opportunity. Whats more, the person wearing the bandage gets real-time feedback on whats happening with the infection, if theres an infection at all. The researchers say it offers numerous benefits over existing treatments that make use of light, including photodynamic therapy or PDT

40、.Weve been seeing quite a few upgrades to the traditional bandage in recent years, thanks to advances in science like the nanofiber mesh that attracts bacteria and draws some of it out, speeding up the healing process. Then theres the novel bandage for treating burns, which stops bacteria from multi

41、plying and lowers the risk of infection.The more work that a bandage can do while its protecting a wound, the better. Efforts to improve bandages continue and now weve got a bandage that not only releases antibiotics, but also tells the patient exactly whats going on too.32. What is the smart bandag

42、e mainly designed to do?A. Avoid the use of antibiotics.B. Clear out harmful bacteria.C. Detect bacterial infections.D. Increase treatment options.33. What is the advantage of the smart bandage?A. It saves much time and cost.B. It removes the risk of infection.C. It prevents the bacterial resistance

43、. D. It improves doctor-patient relationship.34. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?A. Traditional bandages are out of use now.B. More smart bandages will be developed.C. Progress in science calls for more research.D. People are urged to study medical science.35. What does the text fo

44、cus on?A. A successful test on mice.B. A colour-changing bandage.C. Sensing drug-resistant bacteria.D. Preventing abuse of antibiotics第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)According to a study done by University of Michigan researchers, shopping to relieve stress was up to 40 times more effective at giving people a

45、 sense of control and that shoppers were three times less sad compared to those that only browsed for items.In fact, shopping to reduce stress can actually help you live a healthier life by making sure that your blood pressure is lowered. _36_However, the side effect of retail therapy, for many, can

46、 start out as a relatively harmless mood booster but could possibly grow into a compulsion that drains finances, causes conflict, and thereby adding a significant amount of stress to a persons life. So how to avoid the effect?_37_. Whether youre purchasing Christmas presents or buying groceries, hav

47、ing the items you need written down will provide you with clarity and order while youre shopping. Reward yourself for sticking to your list and youll be more likely to commit to it: buy a cup of coffee while shopping or plan a fun activity for when you return home._38_. Do you spend too much money a

48、t the mall? Eating out? Vacations? Make a list of where your money is going and take necessary steps to avoid temptations. For example, if you spend too much money on dining out on the weekends, stock your cupboard with groceries on Friday so youll be more likely to stay in and cook.Give up the need to keep up with your neighbors, co-workers,
