Hats in Harvard
The cold wind blew through the trees and between buildings. Winter was on its way, Amaya was warm in her
house, thinking about an article she read at school. The article was about the kids who helped out their communities,
and she thought it would be really cool to help her own town, Harvard.
The only problem was that she wasn’t sure how to help. What could a kid do for her town? In the article, the
kids grew food for people who needed it. But it was winter, she couldn’t start a garden. Amaya was still deep in
thought when her mom said it was time to go shopping.
On the road, Amaya saw a family walking on the sidewalk, wearing only light jackets. How cold they must be,
Amaya thought. That gave her an idea! She could help her town. She could collect winter coats, hats, and gloves
for people in Harvard who needed them.
Amaya decided to talk to her teacher, because then she could share her idea with her classmates at least. Mrs.
Monroe was very supportive when Amaya talked about her idea. She even said she could help Amaya talk to the
principal (校长) about it, so they could get the whole school involved! They decided to call the project “Hats in
Harvard” and they wrote up a letter explaining the idea to the families. Mrs. Monroe said they could even take a
fieldtrip to parks around Harvard where families in need gathered to drop off the coats, hats, and gloves. Amaya was
excited, and really hoped the principal, Mrs. Brown, would let the school participate (参加)!
Mrs. Brown was excited about the idea, and said she would make sure copies of the letter went home with all
the students! They collected the winter clothing for a few weeks, then were able to take their fieldtrip to two parks to
leave the clothes where families who needed them could get them.
Three day safer their fieldtrip, Amaya and her mom once again saw the same family walking together. This time,

D
Most of us probably have told a lie at one time or another. Some lies are harmful. Some are mostly harmless.
Still other lies may even he created with kindness. But whatever kind of lie you tell, it takes surprising brainpower
to pull it off. Lying also can have unwanted influences, too.
When you tell the truth, you think of what you want to say and just say it. However, lying takes much more
work—you have to come up with a story and remember it. A lot of that work is done in a brain area called the
prefrontal cortex(前额叶皮层). It’s responsible for working memory and executive function(执行功能) tasks such
as planning, problem-solving and self-control. Working memory keeps things in mind just for a little while as
you’re using them. Executive function comes into play when you use self-control to keep from blurting out(脱口而
出) the facts that would uncover your lie. It helps you recall all the details of a lie to make sure that it sounds
believable. It also lets you think a step or two ahead to make sure the lie you’re telling will likely hold up to
questioning.
Calling on your executive function this way uses up a lot of brainpower. Vendemia, a neuroscientist at the
University of South Carolina, did a research and has found that people’s mental workload will be heavier and their
reaction time longer when they lie. Worse still, when the prefrontal cortex is busy with tasks related to lying, she
notes, it has a harder time doing other tasks such as making a study plan or using self-control to keep from
spending too much time on computer games.
Lying has social influences, too. Even the kindest lies can sometimes be risky and often backfire. When you
give dishonest praise, you may make your friends feel good at first. But if you do it often enough, they’ll soon learn
that they can’t trust your praise. People generally value honesty and don’t like liars, so if you are viewed as
untrustworthy, it can be bad for your relationships.
It’s widely agreed that nearly all cultures value honesty, and now science is revealing(揭示) how dishonesty
influences the brain and your ability to build the trust on which strong relationships depend. So, even when lying
doesn’t stretch your nose, it still comes at a price that you can’t afford.

【答案】33. C 34. B 35. D 36. B
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了撒谎的代价，以及产生的影响。
【33题详解】
段落大意题。根据“When you tell the truth, you think of what you want to say and just say it. However, lying
takes much more work—you have to come up with a story and remember it. A lot of that work is done in a brain
area called the prefrontal cortex(前额叶皮层). ”（当你说真话的时候，你会想好你想说什么，然后就说出来。
然而，撒谎需要更多的工作——你必须想出一个故事并记住它。很多工作都是在一个叫做前额皮质的大脑
区域完成的）以及本段内容可知，第二段主要讲述了当人们撒谎时，大脑是如何工作的。故选C。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据“has found that people’s mental workload will be heavier and their reaction time longer when
they lie. Worse still, when the prefrontal cortex is busy with tasks related to lying, she notes, it has a harder time
doing other tasks”可知人在掩盖谎言需要很多脑力。故选B。
【35题详解】
词义猜测题。根据“Lying has social influences, too. Even the kindest lies can sometimes be risky and often
backfire. ”可知撒谎也有社会影响。即使是最善意的谎言有时也会有风险，结合“But if you do it often
enough, they’ll soon learn that they can’t trust your praise. ”可知经常有善意的谎言会导致相反的结果，所以
backfire和D选项的含义相同，故选D。
【36题详解】
最佳标题题。根据“But whatever kind of lie you tell, it takes surprising brainpower to pull it off. Lying also can
have unwanted influences, too.”可知无论你说什么样的谎言，都需要惊人的脑力才能实现，而且撒谎也会产
生不必要的影响。所以B选项“撒谎的代价”符合，故选B。

17-Year-Old Is Youngest to Fly Around the World
On August 24, 17-year-old Mack Rutherford landed his microlight airplane safely back in Bulgaria, completing a
five-month effort to fly around the world. He has now set the record as the youngest person to fly around the world
alone.
Mack’s flight began in Bulgaria, where he took off on March 23. He was 16 at the time, but celebrated his
birthday during his trip around the world.
He flew in a small, two-seater microlight airplane, able to fly at speeds of about 186 mph (300 kph). One of the
plane’s seats was replaced with an extra gas tank (油箱), which allowed Mack to cover longer distances. The plane
also had satellite communications that let Mack stay in touch with people on the ground.
Mack’s route took him over Europe, Africa, Asia, and North America. He visited 30 countries in all, covered
33,630 miles.
Though Mack expected his trip to take two to three months, he had to change his ideas. In some places, he had
to wait long for getting permission (批准) to fly. Other problems required major changes to his flight plan.
Mack also faced lots of other challenges, many of them related to extreme weather. In Sudan, Mack had to deal
with sandstorms. He had to fly through heavy rain in India, and ended up with water in his gas tanks.
He said crossing the Pacific Ocean was the most difficult part of the trip. After a 10-hour flight from Japan, he
had to land—just as it was getting dark—on an island with no one else on it. He spent the night in the open air.
In spite of all the difficult times, Mack described the trip as “amazing”.
Now Mack has set the record for the youngest person to fly around the world alone, beating 18-year-old English
pilot, Travis Ludlow, who set the record last year.
Mack says he hopes his trip will show young people they can make a difference. “You don’t need to be 18 to do
something special. Just follow your dreams and they will eventually come true,” he said.
37. When did Mack land his microlight plane in Bulgaria?

【38题详解】

satellite communications.
【39题详解】

旅行中最困难的部分。故填Crossing the Pacific Ocean.
【40题详解】
根据文中“Mack历尽辛苦，创造了世界最年轻的单人飞行纪录”可知，他是年轻人的榜样,他的旅行向年轻
人展示他们可以有所作为，他的成功告诉人们，只要追随梦想，它们最终会实现。故填Yes, I do. Because

写作”。阅读：reading；可以：can；帮我们提高写作：help us to improve our writing。情态动词can后跟动
词原形，故填Reading can help us to improve our writing.
43. 她身体太弱了以至于不能做任何运动。(too...to)
___________________________________________________________________
【答案】She is too weak to do any sport.
【解析】
【详解】根据题干可知是一般现在时，表示客观存在的事情。主语是She；“is”是be动词，属于系动词；
“too”是副词，表示“太”，后面加形容词weak，表示“虚弱的”，是表语结构，“too...to...”表示
“太……以至于不能”，是否定含义；do sports表示“做运动”，“any”表示“任何”，放在名词sports
前。故填She is too weak to do any sports.
44. 他们不可能在短时间内完成所有项目。(It is adj. for sb. to do)
___________________________________________________________________
【答案】It’s impossible for them to finish all the projects in a short time.
【解析】
【详解】根据提示句式：It is adj. for sb. to do“对某人来说做某事是怎样的”；impossible意为“不可能的”
形容词；them意为“他们”，作介词for的宾语；finish意为“完成”，动词；all the projects意为“所有项
目”；in a short time意为“在短时间内”。故填It’s impossible for them to finish all the projects in a short
time.
45. 英语是世界上最容易学的语言之一。(one of...)
___________________________________________________________________
【答案】English is one of the easiest languages to learn in the world.
【解析】
【详解】English意思是“英语”，作主语；be动词意思是“是”，因为主语是English，时态是一般现在
时态，所以谓语动词用第三人称单数形式is；one of意思是“……之一”，one of+the+形容词最高级+名词
复数，表示“最……的之一”；the easiest意思是“最容易的”，是easy的最高级；languages意思是“语
言”，是language的复数形式；learn意思是“学习”，此处动词不定式作后置定语；in the world意思是
“在世界上”。故填English is one of the easiest languages to learn in the world.
