Best Overall: LectroFan EVO Sound Machine
Why You Should Get It
This compact, stylish, and affordable white noise machine is very easy to use. With a timer, a headphone
connector, and a large range of sounds, you'll be able to find the right set up for you. That's where it comes in to mask
all that unwanted environmental noise—or lack of—so you can get more rest.
Keep in Mind
The device isn't battery-operated, so it'll need to stay plugged into a power source.
It does everything you need it to, and then some, for a very reasonable price. It plays non-repeating digital noise
in a range of colors: It has 10 fan sounds, 10 environmental noise sounds—including pink and brown noise, and two
ocean soundscapes.
The device is super simple to use, and once you've picked your favorite type of noise, it will be saved in the
settings, and the machine will auto play that sound each time you turn it on. The speaker produces a clear and crisp
sound, and there's a wide volume range. It also comes with an optional time r you can set between one to eight hours,
or play continuously, plus a 3.5mm connector for headphones if your partner isn't quite as keen on white noise as you
are.
It's compact enough to travel everywhere with you, and as white noise machines go, it looks pretty good, too. It
certainly won't look out of place on your bedside table. You can power the LectroFan EVO via USB or the included
A/C adaptor, but it doesn't have an internal battery, so it does need to be plugged in.

The story of Oprah Winfrey's life is one of overcoming incredible odds and achieving great success. Born into
poverty in Mississippi, Winfrey faced numerous challenges throughout her childhood. She was raised by her
grandmother, who installed in her a love of reading and a strong work ethic. However, Winfrey was also the victim of

causes.

Polar bears normally need sea ice to hunt seals, but an isolated group of polar bears living on the mountainous
coast of southeast Greenland have figured out how to make a living, even though the sea ice there melts away early in
the year.
These bears have found a way to supplement their limited sea ice supply by hunting on freshwater ice that comes
from glaciers（冰川） on land. The glacial ice falls off in pieces into fjords（峡湾）, where the pieces get together
into a floating platform that the polar bears use to catch seals, according to a report in the journal Science.
Climate change is making sea ice more and more scarce. Loss of sea ice is “the primary threat to polar bears,”
says Kristin Laidre of the University of Washington, lead author of the new study. But, she says, this new work
suggests some bears might be able to cope with a decreased amount of sea ice——at least for a while——in places
like Greenland where they can take advantage of floating glacier ice.
While local people have long known that bears live in southeast Greenland, it's a remote, challenging
environment that's not frequented by humans. “It's a coastline with huge mountain peaks, lots of winds, extreme
conditions and plenty of fogs,” says Laidre, who has spent years working with colleagues to survey polar bears living
on Greenland's 1,800-mile-long east coast.
To see what they could find in southeast Greenland, the team had to take helicopters from the nearest settlement
and fly for two hours in a straight line to the coast, “We arrived in these fjords, very isolated fjords, and there's
essentially no sea ice or very poor sea ice offshore,” says Laidre, explaining that the researchers expected to find few
bears.
“But there were a lot of bears in these fjords,” she says. “It was clearly just a unique habitat.”
The sea ice persisted in these fjords for only around a hundred days a year, she notes, meaning that bears don't
have much time to use it as a hunting ground.
28. What does the underlined word “supplement” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Make up for. B. Keep up with.
C. Look forward to. D. Break away from.
29. What will happen to pieces of glacial ice after falling off?
A. They will form various fjords.
B. They will exist in fjords for only a hundred years.
C. They will float into cold places and never disappear.
D. They will gather to be a platform for polar bears to hunt.
30. What is the environment like in southeast Greenland?
A. Crowded. B. Pleasant. C. Severe. D. Windless.
31. What is the text mainly about?
学科网（北京）股份有限公司A. Polar bears are on the edge of dying out.
B. Polar bears no longer need sea ice to hunt seals.
C. Polar bears can replace sea water with fresh water.
D. Polar bears have another way to hunt with little sea ice.
D
The fairy tales and stories we love often begin with someone asking questions. Sleeping Beauty has a princess
exploring a castle just to see what's inside. Jack climbs his beanstalk because he wants to know what's at the top. All
these happen because of curiosity.
Curiosity may be the driving force of all science and experiments, encouraging us to explore the highest
mountains and deepest oceans. But it's also our biggest downfall. It's the voice that says “push the button”, and it's
what burnt Icarus' waxen wings.
When it comes to curiosity, we are not born equal. Some people can't help but question, or examine something,
while others are quite happy with what they have and what they see. So why isn't curiosity distributed evenly among
people?
Our brain rewards us for good behavior. When we satisfy our desire, our brain says to us, “Yes, well done on
looking after the body—have some endorphins（内啡肽）.”The seeking system is the thing that encourages us to
explore and go beyond our comfort zone. It has various reward systems set up for the satisfaction of our goal. Without
the seeking system, we'd just sit still and satisfy ourselves with whatever we have.
For the curiosity differences between men and women, research suggests that men are more likely to do risky
behavior, from going on financial investments to swimming in the sea. Perhaps it is because of some kind of “hunter-
gatherer” society behavior, where men are regarded as needing to be more risk-seeking and curious to help feed,
protect, and care for “the whole group”.
And children are born with great curiosity. The success that teenagers will have in satisfying their curiosity, or
how far they are allowed to devote themselves to it, will determine how efficient those curiosity pathways are in later
life. If children are given new environments to explore, the room to play and experiment, and the freedom to ask
questions and examine them, then they will do so more later in life as well.
32. Why does the author mention the fairy tales at the beginning?
A. To lead in the topic of the text.
B. To explain the cause of curiosity.
C. To provide background information.
D. To introduce the ways of being curious.
33. What mainly affects curiosity distribution among people?
A. Their spirits of adventure. B. Their society behavior.
C. Their seeking system. D. Their endorphins.
34. What might the author advise parents to do?
A. Reward kids for their good behavior.
B. Accompany kids in playing and studying.
C. Give teenagers the freedom of expression and choice.
D. Provide children with conditions to satisfy their curiosity.
学科网（北京）股份有限公司35. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A. Why Are Some People More Curious than Others?
B. How Can Curiosity Influence People's Life?
C. Why Is Curiosity Important for Learning?
D. How Can People Develop Their Curiosity?

For many years, scientists saw trees as independent living things. Each tree in the forest was trying to get light,
water and nutrients. Trees competed for resources. 36 They cooperate with each other with the help of fungi
（真菌）.
In forests, fungi connect trees through underground networks. Trees'roots branch out in all directions. The same
soil is home to fungi, which can grow on and around tree roots. The fungi grow in thin threads（线状物）. As they
grow, the threads can link to numerous trees. The fungi create web s between trees known as mycorrhizal（菌根）
networks. 37 The trees give sugars to the fungi and the fungi get mineral nutrients from the soil. They share
them with the trees.
The fungi in a mycorrhizal network link the trees together. 38 For example, if a young plant is growing in a
shaded area, it may not get enough sunlight. However, larger trees growing around it can send sugars to the young
tree's roots through the fungi. Similarly, if a tree is dying, it might give its nutrients to the health y trees growing
around it.
Mycorrhizal networks are not always cooperative. Some plants will use the networks to take nutrients from their
neighbors. Some flowers will steal food from other plants. 39 They want to harm plants that are competing for
sunlight and water.
40 They can send chemical or electrical signals through the wood wide web. If a tree is being eaten by
insects, it will send out signals for help. Similarly, when diseases attack trees, they can send out chemicals.
A. Trees also send messages through the networks.
B. Networks can even connect different species of plants.
C. Scientists think the fungi are important for healthy forests.
D. Trees can share sugars, nutrients and water with one another.
E. However, scientists are discovering that trees may actually work together.
F. There are also plants that send poisonous substances through the networks.
G. In these networks, scientists think the trees and the fungi help one another.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
The word “so” is holding my life at present. How is it that two little letters have the power to change and build
up a retired woman? I don't know, but they did, when I changed its location in my awful repetitive statement “I'm so
lonely”, which had almost ruined me.
As a newly retired empty nester with few friends, I was lonely and felt desperate. I didn't know how to kill time
in that situation. Days repeated like circles. No calls from friends and no invitations from neighbors. I even had no
interest in making meals for myself.
Day in, day out. I said to myself over and over again, “I am so lonely.” I repeated the same sentence in my heart
inadvertently. I logged on my Facebook and wrote down many articles about my sadness, loneliness and helplessness.
What's worse, there were no people who would like to comment on my articles. The life I had created while working
and raising my children was vastly changing. And so was I. I reminded myself of that fact every single day since my
phone stopped ringing. There were no play dates to schedule and no office meeting s to complain about. I had
dreamed of enjoying the life after retirement for long. But when I had the chance I realized how great the busy life
was. I would rather get up early to go to work with so many colleagues around. But it was a dream. I could hope to get
older but I couldn't hope to get younger. What I could do was complain.
Then one day, when I couldn't stand the loneliness. any longer, I logged on my Facebook again. I noticed
someone had commented on my article, saying “you can move that terrible adverb to the front of your sentence”,
which completely changed my awful situation.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
