As a young boy, Martyn Stewart explored the wild places near his childhood home，
collecting small animals like insects in glass jars. Stewart recalls making holes in the jars,
holding each up to his ear to hear the delicate sounds. Stewart soon borrowed a microphone and
began recording what he heard.
Now in his 60s，Stewart has made a collection of more than 30,000 hours of material. His
recordings have been used in more than 150 films and numerous podcasts(博客) and nature
documentaries. “We have a visual culture and have, until very recently, studied the wild nature
primarily through what we see，”says Bernie Krause，a soundscape ecologist and friend of
Stewart’s. “But a much fuller understanding can be gained from what we hear.” Krause credits
the rise in popularity of nature sounds，meditations(冥想) and science recordings in part to the
pioneering work of audio recordists like Stewart.
To build his library of sounds，Stewart has been to more than 40 countries. While recording，
he limits his senses to a single input like sound. This reveals environments in new ways，says
Stewart. To get a few minutes of the sounds can take hours of work. Sometimes，the noise from
cars, airplanes and other machinery is so subtle and common that he often arrives home only to
find the noise makes the files useless.
Now, some species he has recorded in their natural environment can no longer be heard in
that setting. At least four of the species are now extinct in the wild.
Stewart，who was diagnosed with bone cancer last year, recently released a free collection of
his most prized recordings to the public. By doing this，he is optimistic that those listening will
feel closer to foreign species and environments，and feel motivated to act“. I think if we let people
listen to these beautiful sound recordings，maybe we can start protecting what we’ve got left,”
says Stewart.
24. What did Martyn Stewart do when he was young?
A. He recalled making holes in the jars.
B. He built his library of sounds.
C. He gathered insects in glass jars.
D. He used his microphone to record what he heard.
25. What can be inferred about Stewart from paragraph 2？
A. He made a great contribution.
B. He valued quantity over quality.
C. He explored the untouched wild nature.
D. He considered audio content the mainstream.

To study coral reefs and the creatures that live there，scientists sometimes use underwater
drones(无人机). But drones aren’t perfect. Their propellers(螺旋桨) can harm reefs and other
living things. Drones also can be noisy，scaring animals away.
So, Erik Engelberg, a mechanical engineer at Florida Atlantic University, and his team
developed a new tool－robo－jellyfish. The device has eight tentacles（触角）and a case on top.
The case holds the electronics that control the jellyfish and store data. One component in the case
allows wireless communication with the robo-jellyfish.
Real jellyfish move slowly and gently. So does the robo-jellyfish. That’s why the researchers
think it won’t frighten animals underwater. What’s more，Engelberg says,“The soft body of our
robo－jellyfish helps it to monitor ecosystems without damaging them.” For example，the robot
could carry a sensor to record ocean temperatures. The data it gathered could help scientists map
where and when the ocean is warming because of climate change.
“Jellyfish have been moving around our oceans for millions of years，so they are excellent
swimmers,” says David Gruber，a marine biologist at Baruch College in New York City. “I’m
always impressed when scientists get ideas from nature ,”Gruber says. “Especially something as
simple as the jellyfish.”
Fighting climate change motivates Engelberg and his team. “I have a deep desire to help
endangered reefs around the world,” he says. He hopes his robo－jellyfish will help researchers
study hidden impacts of climate change at sea.
The robo－jellyfish is work in progress.“We are making a new version right now,”
Engelberg says. It swims deeper and can carry more sensors than the older model. This should
make it an even better spy on the conditions affecting coral reefs worldwide.

{#{QQABIYSEggCoABAAAQgCQw2ICgAQkBECCAoGBFAIoAAACANABCA=}#}28. Why did Engelberg and his team create the robo－jellyfish？
A. The drones can’t swim deep enough.
B. The robo－jellyfish can carry more sensors.
C. The robo－jellyfish can collect more accurate data.
D. The drones are not friendly to creatures underwater.
29. What does David Gruber think of the idea of robo－jellyfish？
A. Common. B. Interesting. C. Unpractical. D. Complex.
30.What can be known about the robo－jellyfish？
A. Its speed can be adjusted.
B. It has been used worldwide.
C. It can be wirelessly controlled.
D. It moves more gently than the real jellyfish.
31.What is the main idea of the text？

C. It’s time to pay attention to ecosystems.
D. We should take measures to save coral reefs.

You can relax if remembering everything isn’t your strong suit. Recent research makes the
case that being forgetful can be a strength----in fact, selective memory can even be a sign of
stronger intelligence.
Traditional research on memory has focused on the advantages of remembering everything.
But looking through memory data for recent years, researchers found that the neurobiology of
forgetting can be just as important to our decision-making as what our minds choose to
remember.
Making intelligent decisions doesn’t mean you need to have all the information at hand. It
just means you need to hold onto the most valuable information. And that means clearing up
space in your memory palace for the most up-to-date information on clients and situations. Our
brains do this by creating new neurons (神经元) in our hippocampus, which have the power to
replace existing memories that are influencing our decision-making.
If you want to increase the number of new neurons in our brain’s learning region, try
exercising. Moderate aerobic exercise like jogging , power walking , and swimming has been
found to increase the number of neurons making important connections in our brains.
英语试卷 第7页(共12页)
{#{QQABIYSEggCoABAAAQgCQw2ICgAQkBECCAoGBFAIoAAACANABCA=}#}When we forget the names of certain clients and details about old jobs, our brain is making a
choice that these details don’t matter. Although too much forgetfulness can be a cause for concern,
the occasional lost detail can be a sign of a perfectly healthy memory system. The researchers
found that our brains facilitate decision-making by stopping us from focusing too much on
unimportant past details. Instead, the brain helps us remember the most important part of a
conversation.
We can get blamed for being absent-minded when we forget past events in perfect detail.
These findings show us that total recall can’t be as important as some people think. Our brains
are working smarter when they aim to remember the right stories ,not every story.
32. How can we help our brains produce more neurons?
A. By running marathons frequently.
B. By practicing swimming regularly.
C. By doing mental labor repeatedly.
D. By learning new skills constantly.
33. What does the underlined word “facilitate” probably mean in paragraph 5?
A. Make something easier.
B. Make something harder.
C. Make something more interesting.
D. Make something more important.
34. What conclusion can be drawn from the text?
A. Memory loss is well worth noticing.
B. Decisions can’t be made without memories.
C. We shouldn’t stress the importance of total recall.
D. Forgetting is even more important than remembering.
35. Which of the following can be the suitable title for the text?
A. Caution: do remember to forget
B. Why and how people choose to forget
C. Total recall is important
D. Being forgetful makes you smarter

Household chores like cooking, cleaning, washing the dishes, and making the bed are never
done; they just get repeated like a broken record. Boring ! 36 But there are science-based
reasons for changing your attitude towards chores. It turns out that doing chores is great for your
health.
37 As researchers state in a report, doing undemanding tasks allows the mind to
wander. Your mind gets a break，which allows you to consider old problems with new eyes. In
fact，undemanding tasks stimulate more creative ideas than demanding tasks or just resting.
Chores are linked to a lower dementia (痴呆）risk. To discover what activities might be
linked to a lower rate of dementia，researchers analyzed massive amounts of healthcare data from
the UK Biobank. They found that those most engaged in household chores had a 21 percent
lower risk of dementia compared to those least engaged in chores. 38
Finishing your chores can increase motivation. BJ Fogg, author of Tiny Habits: The Small
Changes That Change Everything, states that the most important skill is recognizing and
celebrating successes. Completing even a small task, like making your bed, can give you a sense
of satisfaction. 39 Similarly, author Admiral William H. McRaven argues that if you want
to change the world, start off by making your bed.
Chores are good for children’s mental health. Children develop a sense of ownership when
they have jobs to do around the house and it makes them feel like they are an important member
of the household. 40 In my own case, I bond with my daughter by gossiping and singing
while we do chores together.
A. Chores are an opportunity for “me time”.
B. Chores can lead to creative problem-solving.
C. Thus, you feel motivated to deal with tasks one after another.
D. In this way, they can be taught to be independent and confident.
E. Like many people, you may regard chores as something annoying.
F. Doing chores with children also improves the parent-child relationship.
G. This result indicated simple changes could make a difference to health.

I participated in the Secondary School Program in Harvard last summer. I spent half of the
day on my class and homework, and then I’d be free to do that I wanted to. Since my course was
an 8-credit one, it was a lot fast than other summer school course. I had to learn how to keep up
the pace of my class and figure out how to study efficient. For me, take notes was of great help.
During my study, I also got to know many professors who was available for extra help whenever
I needed them. The resources and opportunities combining with the environment there made me
to want to attend Harvard even more. Now back to China, I often miss the experience of studying
abroad.
