This is David, an English boy and he is 12 years old. He loves hamburgers. He has one hamburger in the
morning, three hamburgers and two ice-creams in the afternoon. For dinner, what does he have? Three
hamburgers and a coke (可乐)!
Some scientists (科学家) say, “Hamburgers, ice-cream and coke are nice but eating them too much is notgood.” If we have food like hamburgers too much, what can we get?
Scientists have an experiment (实验) on rats (老鼠) to find the answer (答案).
Here are three groups (组) of rats. Group One eat fruit and vegetables. Group Two eat some vegetables and
hamburgers. But they can eat hamburgers for only one hour every day. Group Three have hamburgers and
vegetables, too. But rats in this group can eat hamburgers all day.
The rats in Group Three like hamburgers very much and always want them. After the experiment, they are
the fattest (最胖的).
Can it be the same with people? Some scientists think “YES”. It is OK to love food like hamburgers, but
having so many hamburgers a day like David sounds (听起来) “fat”. You don’t want to be too fat, right? Ice-
cream is nice and cool. It’s OK to have one ice-cream after dinner. But it’s not OK to have five ice-creams after
dinner. We don’t want to be the fat “rats”.
46．How many hamburgers does David have a day?

When you go to the park, you might notice many older people listening to audiobooks (有声书) instead of
reading paper books. Audiobooks become quite popular these days. Why are more and more people choosing
audiobooks? Is listening to an audiobook just as useful as reading a book?
Reading needs us to pay all our attention to the words in a book, and we also need to find time and a place to
sit down and read. However, you can listen to audiobooks anytime and anywhere you like, and it lets your eyeshave a rest, too.
But the big question is, do we get knowledge (知识) from audiobooks as effectively (有效地) as we do from
paper books? Researchers did an experiment to find the answer. Volunteers in group one listen to an audiobook,
but volunteers in group two read a paper book. It turned out that they remembered the same amount (数量) of
information in these two ways.
Another study published in the Journal of Neuroscience further agree to the result above. In the study,
researchers scanned (扫描) people’s brains when they listened to and read books. The result showed that listening
to audiobooks uses almost the same parts of the brain as reading does.
However, some people still believe that they learn better from reading paper books. One reason might be that
when we listen to audiobooks, we are often doing other things at the same time. “If you’re trying to learn when
doing two things, you’re not going to learn well, ” Daniel Willingham, a professor of psychology (心理学) at the
University of Virginia, told The New York Times.
51．The audiobook users are freer in ________than paper book users.
A．age and place B．price and time
C．price and age D．time and place

A．the volunteers B．the audiobooks
C．the paper books D．the results
53．Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage? ________
A．More and more people choose audiobooks these days.
B．Listening to audiobooks uses almost different parts of the brain.
C．People can get knowledge from audiobooks as effectively as they do from paper books.
D．Some people still think that reading paper books is better than audiobooks.
54．Why do some people think paper books help them learn better than audiobooks? ________
A．Because people need to pay all attention while reading.
B．Because they have no time to listen to audiobooks in their daily lives.
C．Because they can do other tasks at the same time.
D．Because they want to protect their ears.
55．Which is the best structure of the passage? ________A． B． C． D．

Life today is much easier than it was hundreds 61 years ago. But there is a problem—pollution. Itcomes in many 62 (way). We smell it, drink it and even hear it.
The more people, the more pollution. Many years ago, there were not many people, so the pollution was not
very serious. When people used up the land (陆地), they moved to 63 new place. But we can’t do that
now.
What will the future be like? Some 64 (science) say that the pollution will be more serious. The
city will be more crowded 65 there will be more people and cars. At last, the earth will be a 66
(danger) place for us. 67 (Human) have to leave the earth and look for another planet to live on.
Luckily, many countries are making rules to fight pollution now. They ask people to take the subway or bus
68 (work). They stop people from burning coal (烧煤). They also ask people to plant 69 (many)

五、阅读短文回答问题（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
One of the great things about traveling alone is that you can decide where you go and what you eat. You’ll be
surprised at what you discover about yourself without any influence.
Traveling alone really shows you what you’re made of and helps you to discover inner strength you didn’t
know you had. Besides, it also gives you time to think, learn and grow. When your eyes are wide open, you’ll get
a whole new outlook on the world.
It’s easy to think that traveling alone is lonely. Although that may sometimes be true, you’re hardly ever
alone. When you travel in a one-person team, this can provide a chance for you to enjoy the most interesting part
of travel—communicating with the local people.
In fact, traveling to know more about the world is not easy. There’s research to be done, flights to be booked
and choices to be made. One of the main advantages of traveling with friends is being able to share these things
and support each other through the process, even if it’s just someone who will wait with your bag when you go to
the bathroom.
Just as your mother always says, it’s true that traveling with others can give you a sense of safety, especially
if you’re new to travel. You know that if you get lost or have your wallet stolen, there’s someone to hold your
hand when you try to explain your situation in a foreign police station. There’s no right or wrong way to travel.
Whether you travel alone or team up with friends, it is up to you.
71．What can you decide when you travel alone?
72．According to the writer, what is the most interesting part of travelling in a one-person team?
73．Why isn’t it easy to know more about the world by traveling?74．What does your mother think of travelling with others?
75．Which way will you choose to travel?
