10、要求，选出正确答案。2阅读理解 Paying a higher price than usual for a ticket to see a film in 3D is the annoyance of many a cinema-goers life. But there may be a benefit to doing so, as a study has found that 3D films exercise the brain and improve short-term functioning in a similar way to brain-training tests. T

11、he research found that people who watched a movie in 3D improved cognitive (认知) skills, compared to those who watched it in 2D. The research was led by neuroscientist(神经学家) Dr Patrick Fagan from Goldsmiths University in London. More than 100 people took part in the experiment, where participants wat

12、ched Disney film Big Hero 6 in either standard format or RealD 3D. They also carried out a brain-training-style test before and after seeing a section from the film. The test covered memory, reaction times and cognitive function and the results were compared later. According to the research, which w

13、as carried out in partnership with science group Thrill Laboratory, participants experienced a 23 percent increase in cognitive processing, as well as an 11 percent increase in reaction times. Dr Fagan said that the results showed enough of an improvement in brain function to suggest that 3D could p

14、lay a part in improving brain power in the future. These findings are more significant than you might think, he said. It is a fact that people are living longer and there is a noticeable decline in cognitive brain function in old age which can worsen future quality of life. There has never been a be

15、tter time to look at ways to improve brain function. The initial results of this study show that 3D films may potentially play a role in slowing this decline. A second part of the experiment involved those watching the film being fitted with headsets that scanned brain activity and this too showed h

16、eightened (加强的) activity when watching 3D. According to the results, participants were seven percent more engaged with what they were watching, adding to argument that 3D movies are more like watching real-lifesomething Professor Brendan Walker from Thrill Laboratory agreed with. As Professor Brenda

17、n Walkers test concluded, 3D films are more attractive and heighten the senses this, in turn, makes the brain run at quicker speeds, Dr Fagan said. （1）According to the research, people watching a movie in 3D _.

22、d depression as the most common mental health disease among college students, though depression, too, is on the rise. More than half of students visiting campus clinics cite anxiety as a health concern, according to a recent study of more than 100,000 students nationwide by the Center for Collegiate

23、 Mental Health at Penn State. Nearly one in six college students has been diagnosed with or treated for anxiety within the last 12 months, according to the annual national survey by the American College Health Association. The causes range widely, experts say, from mounting academic pressure at earl

24、ier ages to overprotective parents to engagement with social media. Anxiety has always played a role in the development of a students life, but now more students experience anxiety so acute that they are seeking professional help. Like many college clinics, the Center for Counseling and Psychologica

25、l Services at the University of Central Florida (UCF) one of the countrys largest and fastest-growing universities, has seen sharp increases in the number of clients: 15.2 percent over last year alone. Anxiety has become characteristic of the current generation of college students, said Dan Jones, t

26、he director of Counseling and Psychological Services at Appalachian State University in Boone, N. C. Because of increasingly pressures during high school, he and other experts say, students arrive at college preloaded with stress. Accustomed to extreme parental oversight, many seem unable to govern

27、themselves. And with parents so accessible, students have had less incentive to develop life skills. “They cant tolerate discomfort or having to struggle,” Dr Jones said. More often, anxiety is mild and temporary, the indication of a student under the control of a normal developmental issue-learning

28、 time management, for example, or how to handle rejection from a sorority. Mild anxiety is often treatable with early, modest interventions. But to care for rising numbers of severely troubled students, many counseling centers have moved to triage protocols (分诊措施). That means that students with less

29、 urgent needs may wait several weeks for first appointments. Like many college counseling centers, UCF has designed a variety of daily workshops and therapy groups that implicitly and explicitly address anxiety, depression and their triggers. Next fall the center will test a new app for treating anx

30、iety with a seven-module cognitive behavioral program, accessible through a students phone and augmented with brief videoconferences with a therapist. It also offers semester-long, 90-minute weekly therapy groups, such as “Keeping Calm and in Control”, “Mindfulness for Depression” and “Building Soci

31、al Confidence” -for students struggling with social anxiety.（1）Which of the following contributes to anxiety according to the text?A.Protection from teachers.B.An app in students phones.C.Increasingly learning pressure.D.Management of time learning.（2）What does the underlined word “incentive” in Par

32、agraph 3 probably mean?A.Prevention.B.Motivation.C.Acquisition.D.Direction.（3）Whats the purpose of those therapy groups mentioned in the last paragraph?A.To help students suffering anxiety.B.To test what social anxiety is.C.To introduce the cognitive behavioral program of UCF.D.To emphasize the impo

33、rtance of calm and confidence.（4）Which of the following would be the best title for the text?A.Tips on dealing with anxietyB.Causes of anxiety and depressionC.Different mental diseases threaten college studentsD.College mental health centers overburdened with anxious students【答案】 （1）C（2）B（3）A（4）D 【解

34、析】【分析】焦虑症已经超越抑郁症成为大学生中最常见的心理健康问题，文章分析焦虑可能产生的原因，以及某些大学为此采取的措施。（1）细节理解题。根据第二段内容The causes range widely, experts say, from mounting academic pressure at earlier ages to overprotective parents to engagement with social media（专家称焦虑症的原因多种多样，从早年积累下来的学业压力、家长的过度保护到对社交媒体的强迫性依赖）可知，C项（增加的学习压力）会导致焦虑，故选C。（2）词义猜测题

35、。根据上句内容Accustomed to extreme parental oversight, many seem unable to govern themselves.（很多学生都习惯于父母无微不至的监督，几乎没有自制能力。）故这里递进的句子And with parents so accessible, students have had less incentive to develop life skills.（由于家长总在身边，学生们普遍缺乏学习独立生活技能的_。），B项“动力”最符合语境，故划线单词意思为“动力”，选B。（3）细节理解题。根据本段表述的内容：像许多大学的心理咨询中

36、心一样，U.C.F.也设置了多种日常研讨会和治疗小组，以直接或间接的方式解决焦虑、抑郁问题及其触发源。明年秋天，该中心将对一种新的拥有七个模块的认知行为疗法应用程序进行测试，学生可以通过手机获取该应用，并可与治疗师进行简短的视频谈话。故这些治疗小组的目的时为了帮助那些患焦虑症的学生。故选A。（4）主旨大意题。通读全文可看出，文章介绍了焦虑症已经成为美国大学生中最常见心理问题，大学的心理咨询中心已经超负荷，故选D作为标题最合适。4阅读理解 On a college camping trip, curiosity about waves and sand caused Rob Thieler to

37、 study shorelines around the world. Thirty years later and now a U.S. Geological Survey research geologist, Thieler, is combining science and smartphone technology to help study an endangered bird, the Atlantic Coast piping plover. The piping plover is a shorebird that breeds（繁殖）along the Atlantic C

38、oast, the Great Lakesand the Great Plains. Rising sea levels associated with climate change, as well as increased development in their beach habitats（栖息地）, threaten the species（物种）. To help track changes in piping plover habitats, Thieler developed a free app called iPlover in 2012. This is a marked

39、 change from the typical way scientists collect data, which involves gathering information using specialized equipment or writing in notebooks and then putting into spreadsheets. Since releasing iPlover, scientists have gathered data across 1500 km of breeding range. Thatequals about a third of the

40、distance across the U.S., which is a large area to cover for only two thousand breeding pairs of piping plovers on the east coast. Instead of having to travel and spend days at each site, a number of cooperators in the field use the app to collect and send data, allowing scientists to gather data mo

41、re efficiently. It also allows them to collect data at the same time during each breeding season, providing a better picture of changes that happen over longer periods of time. And fast, centralized access means scientists can look at data quickly to get a real-time idea of where and how piping plov

42、ers are using their habitats. While iPlover is used by trained field staff, other apps like the U. S. Geological Surveysweb-based “iCoastDid the Coast Change?” invite citizen scientists to identify coastal changes by comparing birds-eye-view photographs taken before and after storms. All the informa

43、tion scientists and citizen scientists alike collect helps federal and state agencies create policyplans for addressing climate change impacts (影响) worldwide. （1）What can we know about the piping plover? A.Its behaviour is changing.B.Its habitat is growing bigger.C.Its living environment is becoming

44、 worse.D.Its breeding is limited to the Atlantic Coast.（2）Why did Thieler develop iPlover? A.To study shorelines across America.B.To advance information technology.C.To find out global climate change.D.To monitor changes of piping plover habitats.（3）Which of the following benefits the shorebirds? A.

45、The camping equipment.B.Research on smartphones.C.The changeable coast.D.Progress in technology.（4）What would be the best title of the text? A.Protecting Endangered ShorebirdsB.Rob Thieler, a Creative ScientistC.IPlover, Tool for Training Field StaffD.Differences Between IPlover and ICoast【答案】（1）C（2）D（3）D（4）A 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了随着技术的进步，保护濒危的岸禽鸟类的措施变得更加的有效。（1）考查细节理解题。根据文章第二段Rising sea levels associated with climate change, as well as increased development in their beach habitats（栖息地）, threaten the species（物种）可知，笛鸻的生存环境变得越来越糟了。故答案选C。（2）考查细节理解题。根据文章第二段To help track c
