C. 5 dollars each minute.
【答案】18. C 19. A 20. B
【解析】
【原文】How do you decide what you are going to buy in a supermarket? Do you look in the refrigerator and make a list? Do you think about what you want to cook and then buy the food you need? Even if you do these things, the supermarket makes some of the decisions for you. There are some people who have studied how to make people buy more food in a supermarket. They do all kinds of things that you do not even notice. The food that everybody must buy, like bread, milk and vegetables, is spread all over the store. You have to walk to find these things. The expensive food is in packages with brightly colored pictures. It is put at eye level, and so when you see it you want to buy it. The things that you have to buy anyway are usually put on a higher or lower shelf. However, candy and other things children like are on lower shelves.Studies show that after a person has been in a supermarket for 30 minutes, she or he
spends 50 cents every minute. For example, if someone stays40 minutes, the supermarket has 5 dollars more. So the store has a comfortable temperature in summer and in winter, and it plays soft music. It is a pleasant place for people to stay and spend more money. So be careful in the supermarket. You may go home with a bag of food you were not planning to buy. The supermarket, not you, decides you should buy it.

B
I am the proud owner of three pet dogs. Over the years, I have watched their behaviours carefully that help me when I travel around the world.
One important lesson that my dog, Cody, taught me is how to deal with little problems in life. From his calm behavior when someone knocked unexpectedly at the door to the indifferent way he has dealt with his recent serious illness, he has always had the same easy-going attitude. This attitude is an important lesson to me in how I can face difficult situations when travelling, I've learned to try to handle bad situations calmly, such as when we miss a train? lose luggage? and so on.
Another dog of mine, Preston, loves to walk around the yard, spending hours smelling every place and finding out what it means to him. Taking it slowly is another lesson that's been very hard for me to learn. As an active traveller, I am actually experiencing less by speeding through everything, rather than slowly getting to know a place. Even if it means that you won't see as many things, going slowly when you travel is the only way to really get to know a new place. Rushing around a foreign city isn't fun at all.
My dog, Moya, came from a truly bad situation. I am not sure what happened to her before；I just know it wasn't
good. And while she has become more relaxed over the years, she is still slightly on edge. She is very cautious when faced with any new situation. But once she's accustomed to her new surroundings, she is fine. She doesn't let fear influence her experience. The same can be applied to our travel experience. No matter where we go, we need to manage new situations with caution--while at the same time not letting that caution turn into fear. Many thanks to my pets. Truly speaking,pets are as basic to American culture as hot dogs or apple pies. To Americans, pets are not just property, but a part of the family. After all, pets are people, too, with the help of whom I am able to gain a lot and live differently.
24. One of the three dogs, Cody,_______ .
A. once suffered from a serious illness
B. is excited when under pressure
C. enjoys walking around the yard
D. is unable to deal with new situations
25. From Preston, the author learned that one should ______.
A. pay attention to the details in life
B. try to see as many things as possible when travelling
C. stay indifferent to strangers
D. travel around slowly and have fun
26. The underlined phrase "on edge" in the fourth paragraph p robably means “_____ ”.
A. hungry
B. nervous
C. calm
D. angry
27. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage?
A. B. C. D.
【答案】24. A 25. D 26. B 27. C
【解析】
【分析】
本文是一篇说明文。

文章介绍了作者从自己的三只宠物狗身上学到的东西。

【24题详解】
事实细节题。

根椐文章的第二段的第二句to the indifferent way he has dealt with his recent serious illness，可知作者的名叫Cody的宠物狗最近生了一场大病，故选A。

【25题详解】
事实细节题。

根据文章的第三段的第二句Taking it slowly is another lesson that's been very hard for me to learn.，可知作者从名叫Preston的宠物狗身上学到了旅游时要放慢脚步，故选D。

【26题详解】
词义猜测题。

该短语所在的句子的前半部分And while she has become more relaxed over the years中while引导让步状语从句，因此与后面的主句构成转折关系，这句话可以译为“虽然过去这些年它变得更放松，但是他仍然有点……”，可见该词是前文的more relaxed的反义词，A. hungry饥饿的；B. nervous紧张的；C. calm 冷静的；D. angry生气的。

故选B。

【27题详解】
篇章结构题。

不难看出，本文是总分总的结构，第一段引出话题，中间三段都是在描述作者从宠物狗身上所学到的三大有意义的人生经验，最后一段总结。

故选C。

【点睛】词义猜测题是高考阅读理解中常考题型之一，可以大致分为
①定义猜词，可以根据定义信息和举例猜测词义。

如文中常用refer to，be called或that’s to say，such as等。

②逻辑猜词可以根据同义词、反义词、因果关系词等猜测词义，例如，similarly, the same as, but, however, while, on the other hand, since ,because等，所猜词与这些提示词前/后面部分的含义一样、相反或是前因后果。

③语法猜词，可以根据构词法，再结合上下文进行猜词。

④语境猜词，猜测词义离不开上下文的语境，通过上下文提供的情景和线索进行合理的分析，同时还要关注其所在的整段及整篇文章。

⑤指代猜词即找出人称代词、指示代词、关系代词或关系副词等所指代的内容，做题时要注意指代词的位置，以便于判断，然后用所找的指代内容替换划线代词，核实其逻辑、意义、位置等是否一致，最后比较所找部分与选项，确定意思最接近的选项。

如第3小题，该短语所在的句子的前半部分And while she has become more relaxed over the years中while引导让步状语从句，因此与后面的主句构成转折关系，这句话可以译为“虽然过去这些年它变得更放松，但是他仍然有点……”，可见该词是前文的more relaxed的反义词，A. hungry饥饿的；B. nervous紧张的；C. calm 冷静的；D. angry生气的。

故选B。

C
A black hole is created when a large star burns out. Like our sun, stars are unbelievably hot furnaces(熔炉)that
burn their own matter as fuel. When most of the fuel is used up, the star begins to die.
The death of a star is not a quiet event. First there is a huge explosion. As its outer layer is blasted off into space, the dying star shines as brightly as a billion suns.
After the explosion gravity pulls in what's left of the star. As the outside of the star sinks toward the center, the star gets smaller and smaller. The material the star is made of becomes tightly packed together. A star is so dense that a teaspoon of matter from it weighs billion of pounds.
The more the star shrinks, the stronger the gravity inside it becomes. Soon the star is very tiny, and the gravity pulling it in is unbelievably strong. In fact, the gravity is so strong that it even pulls light into the star! Since all the light is pulled in, none can flee. The star becomes black when there is no light. Then a black hole is born!
That's what we know about black holes. What we don't know is this: What happens inside a black hole after the star has been squeezed into a tiny ball? Does it keep getting smaller and smaller forever? Such a possibility is hard to imagine.
But if the black hole doesn't keep shrinking, what happens to it? Some scientists think black holes are like doorways to another world. They say that as the star disappears from our universe, it goes into another universe. In other words a black hole in our universe could turn into a “white hole” in a different universe. As the black hole swallows light, the white hole shines brightly-somewhere else. But where? A different place, perhaps, or a different time-many years in the past or future.
Could you travel through a black hole? Right now, no. Nothing we know of could go into a black hole without being crushed. So far the time being, black holes must remain a mystery.
Black holes are a mystery-but that hasn't stopped scientists from dreaming about them. One scientist suggested that in the future we might make use of the power of black holes. They would supply all of Earth's energy needs, with plenty to spare. Another scientist wondered if a black hole could some day be used to swallow earthly waste-a sort of huge waste disposal(处理)in the sky!
28. When the star begins to die, .
A. there is no fuel left in it
B. its outer layer goes into space first
C. it will explode and then become smaller
D. it doesn't give off light any longer
29. Which of the following doesn't help produce a black hole?
A. The star becomes very tiny and dense.
B. The light can't go out of the star.
C. The gravity inside the star is very strong.
D. The dying star shines very brightly.
30. What can we know from the passage?
A. A star will blast and die when it lacks fuel to support its burning.
B. A black hole can swallow everything because it becomes smaller all the time.
C. Man can never travel through a black hole but can make use of its power.
D. Scientists have found that a black hole goes into another universe and becomes a white hole.
31. What's the best title for this passage?
A. A New Scientific Discovery: Black Holes
B. How Do Black Holes Come into Being?
C. What Are Black Holes?
D. Travel Through A Black Hole
【答案】28. C 29. D 30. A 31. B

文章阐述了黑洞形成的原因和经过。

【28题详解】
细节理解题。

文章第一、二、三段提到，当一个星体的大部分能量耗尽，它就开始走向衰落死亡，首先是爆炸，由于爆炸，外层物质被抛散到太空中，并且发出非常耀眼的光线，然后它会慢慢向中心塌陷变小。

因此，当一个星体死亡时，它会发生爆炸并变得更小。

故选C。

【29题详解】
细节理解题。

从第四段The more the star shrinks, the stronger the gravity inside it becomes. Soon the star is very tiny, and the gravity pulling it in is unbelievably strong. In fact, the gravity is so strong that it even pulls light into the star! 可以看出由于引力的加大，形体不断收缩，变得很小，引力大到难以置信，光都被拉入到星体内部，因此A、B、C都是黑洞形成的因素之一，根据The star becomes black when there is no light.一句可知D选项错误。

故选D。

30题详解】
推理判断题。

从文章可知，星体燃烧的大部分能量之后，就开始死亡，并首先产生爆炸，故A正确。

B的前半句正确，但黑洞能吞噬一切的原因是因为密度大，引力大，而不是因为黑洞一直在变小。

C错误，因为文章只说目前穿越黑洞不可能，没有说永远不可能，而且我们也还不能利用黑洞的能力。

D答案只是科学家的猜测，并不属实，而且句子本身也有错误，不是黑洞跑去了另一个宇宙，成为白洞，而是有可能在这
个宇宙产生一个黑洞，相应的可能在另一个宇宙就会出现一个相反的白洞。

故选A。

【31题详解】
主旨大意题。

文章的首句和全文都可以看出，文章主要内容是黑洞是如何形成的。

选项B. How Do Black Holes Come into Being?（黑洞是怎样形成的？）为最佳标题。

故选B。

【点睛】推断判断题就是推断隐含意义，根据文章的某个句子、段落或全文所提供的事实进行逻辑推理，推断出作者没有提到、没有明说或者可能发生的事实。

推理判断题的题干特点：推断隐含意义的题干中常含infer（推断），suggest（暗示），imply（暗示），indicate（暗示），conclude（推断，得出结论）等词语。

常见的题干形式如下：We can know from the passage that...；We can infer from the （first/last）passage that... ；The passage/author implies/suggests that ...；It can be concluded from the passage that ... ；The underlined sentence indicates that ...等等，它的主要解题方法就是找到推理的依据，然后理解相关信息点的字面意义，最后结合语境和常识，在字面意义的基础上进行符合逻辑的推断，从而得到作者的言外之意。

如第3小题，从文章可知，星体燃烧的大部分能量之后，就开始死亡，并首先产生爆炸，故A正确。

B的前半句正确，但黑洞能吞噬一切的原因是因为密度大，引力大，而不是因为黑洞一直在变小。

C错误，因为文章只说目前穿越黑洞不可能，没有说永远不可能，而且我们也还不能利用黑洞的能力。

D答案只是科学家的猜测，并不属实，而且句子本身也有错误，不是黑洞跑去了另一个宇宙，成为白洞，而是有可能在这个宇宙产生一个黑洞，相应的可能在另一个宇宙就会出现一个相反的白洞。

故选A。

D
If you could change your child's DNA in the future to protect them against diseases, would you? It could be possible because of technology known as CRISPR- Cas, or just CRISPR.
CRISPR involves a piece of RNA, a chemical messenger, designed to work on one part of DNA；it also uses an enzyme (If) that can take unwanted genes out and put new ones in, according to The Economist. There are other ways of editing DNA, but CRISPR will do it very simply, quickly, and exactly.
The uses of CRISPR could mean that cures are developed for everything from Alzheimer's to cancer to HIV. By allowing doctors to put just the right cancer-killing genes into a patient's immune system, the technology could help greatly.
In April scientists in China said they had tried using CRISPR to edit the genomes (基因组)of human embryos. Though the embryos would never turn into humans, this was the first time anyone had ever tried to edit DNA from human beings. With this in mind, the US' National Academy of Sciences plans to discuss questions about CRISPR s
ethics(伦理问题).For example? CRISPR doesn't work properly yet. As well as cutting the DNA it is looking for, it often cuts other DNA, too. In addition, we currently seem to have too little understanding of what DNA gives people what qualities.
There are also moral questions around playing God”. Of c ourse, medicine already stops natural things from happening-for example, it saves people from infections. The opportunities to treat diseases make it hard to say we shouldn't keep going.
A harder question is whether it is ever right to edit human germ-line(种系)cells and make changes that are passed on to children. This is banned in 40 countries and restricted in many others. However, CRISPR means that if genes can be edited out, they can also be edited back in. It may be up to us as a society to decide when and where editing the genome is wrong.
Also, according to The Economist, gene editing may mean that parents make choices that are not obviously in the best interests of their children: “Deaf parents may prefer their children to be deaf too；parents might want to make their children more intelligent at all costs.
In the end, more research is still needed to see what we can and can't do with CRISPR. “It's still a huge mystery how we work,” Craig Mello? a UMass Medical School biologist and Nobel Prize winner, told The Boston Globe, "We're just trying to figure out this amazingly complicated thing we call life.

How to Remember What You Read
Reading is important, but the next important step is making sure that you remember what you've read!
___36___You may have just read the text, but the ideas,concepts and images may fly right out of your head. Here are a few tips for remembering what you read.
Are you confused?
If the plot, characters, or word usage is confusing for you, you likely won't be able to remember what you read. ___37___ If you don't understand what you're reading,how would you remember it? There are a few things you can do--use a dictionary ；look up the difficult words；consult a teacher...
Are you connected?
Does a character remind you of a friend? Does the setting make you want to visit the place? Does the book
inspire you and make you want to read more? With some books, you may feel a connection right away.
___38___How willing are you to make the connections happen?
Read it; hear it; be it!
Read the lines. Then, speak them out loud. And, put some character into the words. When he was writing his novels, Charles Dickens would act out the parts of the characters. He'd make faces in the mirror and change his voice for each character. _______39_______ .
How often do you read? If you read frequently, you'll likely have an easier time with remembering what you're reading and what you've read. _______40_______As you make reading a regular part of your life, you'll make more connections, stay more focused and understand the text better. You'll learn to enjoy literature--as you remember what you read !
A. What's your motivation?
B. Practice makes perfect.
C. It's a bit like reading a foreign language.
