Ever wondered how many calories are in the human body? Or ever wondered why old people have 【1】 (big) ears than they used to? The winners of Ig Nobel Prizes (搞笑諾貝爾獎) have got the answers.

He Ig Nobel Prizes, founded in 1991, are to honor achievements 【2】 first make people laugh, and then make them think, The ceremony 【3】 ( take) place at Harvard University every year. Winners’ acceptance 【4】(speech) are limited to 60 seconds, 【5】 (strict) policed by an eight-year-old girl.

The honored research might seem ridiculous 【6】 first sight, but that doesn’t mean it lacks scientific value. For example, the research in 2006 on why dry spaghetti tends to break into more than two pieces was important 【7】 (discover) failure in bridge spans (跨度) or human bones And a follow-up paper 【8】 (publish) by MIT physicists several years later. But people are more likely to read about 【9】 (break) spaghetti than to read an academic paper. Even when there is no immediate usefulness, 【10】 is still good to encourage people to observe and think.

【答案】

【1】bigger

【2】that/ which

【3】takes

【4】speeches

【5】strictly

【6】at

【7】to discover

【8】was published

【9】breaking

【10】it

【解析】

這是一篇說明文。搞笑諾貝爾獎聽起來似乎很搞笑，但是這并不意味著它缺乏科學(xué)價值。

【1】考查形容詞的比較級。句意：或者想知道為什么老年人的耳朵比以前大? 根據(jù)句意和than可知這里要用形容詞的比較級，故填bigger。

【2】考查限定性定語從句。分析可知空格處引導(dǎo)限定性定語從句，先行詞為achievements，指物�？崭裉幵诰渲凶鲋髡Z所以要用that或者which引導(dǎo)這個定語從句，故填that/which。

【3】考查主謂一致和時態(tài)。分析可知take在句中做謂語。這里介紹的是一般事實，要用一般現(xiàn)在時。主語the ceremony為單數(shù)，謂語動詞也要用單數(shù)，故填takes。

【4】考查名詞單復(fù)數(shù)。speech為可數(shù)名詞，根據(jù)后面的are判斷這里要用其復(fù)數(shù)形式，故填speeches。

【5】考查副詞。空格處修飾動詞police要用副詞，故填strictly。

【6】考查介詞。句意：乍一看，這項久享盛名的研究似乎很荒謬，但這并不意味著它缺乏科學(xué)價值。at first sight為固定搭配，意為“乍一看；一看到…就”，故填介詞at。

【7】考查不定式。這里使用了sth/sb+be+adj+to do的結(jié)構(gòu)，故填to discover。

【8】考查語態(tài)和時態(tài)。本句的事情已經(jīng)發(fā)生，事情發(fā)生在過去要用一般過去時。謂語動詞publish和主語a follow-up paper是被動關(guān)系，要用被動語態(tài)。a follow-up paper是單數(shù)，謂語動詞也要用單數(shù)。故填was published。

【9】考查動名詞作賓語。about為介詞，后面的動詞要用動名詞形式，故填breaking。

【10】考查it做形式主語。句意：即使沒有立竿見影的效果，鼓勵人們?nèi)ビ^察和思考也是好的。根據(jù)句意，分析可知在主句中，to encourage people to observe and think是真正的主語，要用it做形式主語，故填it。

選擇關(guān)系詞要考慮以下幾點：

(1) 一看先行詞的意義，即分清先行詞是指人、指物、時間、地點還是原因(如指物時不能用who或whom，指人時通常不用which等)。

(2) 二看關(guān)系詞的句法功能，即分清關(guān)系詞是擔(dān)任什么句子成分，是作主語還是賓語、是作定語還是狀語等(如作定語通常用whose，有時也用which；作狀語要用when, where, why等關(guān)系副詞。

(3) 三看定語從句的種類，即分清是限制性定語從句還是非限制性定語從句(如that和why通常不引導(dǎo)非限制性定語從句)。

本文第2小題，分析可知空格處引導(dǎo)限定性定語從句，先行詞為achievements，指物�？崭裉幵诰渲凶鲋髡Z，根據(jù)語法規(guī)則要用that或者which引導(dǎo)這個定語從句，故填that/which。

【題目】Are you preparing for a big test? If so, you may want to go to play some basketball in between hitting the books. Doctors are starting to find more and more information that suggests a connection between exercise and brain development. Judy Cameron, a scientist at Oregon Health and Science University, studies brain development. According to her research, it seems that exercise can make blood vessels, including those in the brain, stronger and more fully developed. Dr. Cameron is sure that this allows people who exercise to think better. As she says, “While we already know that exercise is good for the heart, exercise can actually cause physical changes in the brain.”

The effects of exercise on brain development can even be seen in babies. Babies who do activities that require a lot of movement show greater brain development than babies who are less physically active. Even a little movement can show big results. Margaret Barnes, a scientist, also believes in the importance of exercise. She thinks that many learning disabilities that children have in primary school or high school can result from a lack of movement as babies. Babies need movement that encourages and excites their five senses. They need to set up a connection between motion and memory. In this way, as they get older, children will begin to connect physical activity with higher learning,” says Margaret.

Older people can develop their brains as well. Cornell University studied a group of seniors who have a short-term memory increase of up to 40 percent after exercising just three hours a week. The exercise does not have to be very difficult, but it does have to increase the heart rate. Also, just like the motion for babies, exercise for older people should not be too simple. Learning some new skills or actions, such as with yoga or tai-chi helps to open up memory paths in the brain that may not have been used for a long time. For most people, any type of physical activity that increases the heart rate is helpful. The main aim is to increase the brain’s flow of blood. And your brain can benefit from as little as two to three hours of exercise a week.

【1】What is the main idea of this passage?

A. Exercise makes people strong.

B. How one can get good scores in a test.

C. Exercise can help the brain develop.

D. Brain can change one’s memory.

【2】Why is yoga suggested for the old?

A. Because it does good to the joints of old people.

B. Because it does not increase the heart rate.

C. Because it can help learn new actions.

D. Because it can be done in groups.

【3】For most people, the smallest amount of exercise required to gain any benefit is _____.

A. two hours per week B. 40 hours per week

C. three hours per day D. 40 hours per month

On May 28th, we observe World Hunger Day. It is an effort to focus attention on 【1】fact that despite there being enough food globally, some 21,000 people die every day from hunger.

People do not go hungry because the world does not produce enough food for everyone.

The main problem is that many people in the world still do not have resources【3】 (purchase) or grow enough food.

Indeed, hunger【4】 (be) a result of poverty, and also one of its causes. Hunger exists because many countries lack social safety nets; because in many countries women, although they do most of the farming, do not have as much access 【5】 men to training or land.

Over the past decade, a global push to reduce hunger and extreme poverty【6】 (mark) some significant successes, partly thanks【7】 the efforts of many international【8】(organization).

【題目】Have you ever run into a careless cell phone user on the street? Perhaps they were busy talking, texting or checking updates on WeChat without looking at what was going on around them. As the number of this new “species” of human has kept rising, they have been given a new name — phubbers（低頭族）.

Recently, a cartoon created by students from China Central Academy of Fine Arts put this group of people under the spotlight. In the short film, phubbers with various social identities bury themselves in their phones. A doctor plays with his cell phone while letting his patient die, a pretty woman takes selfie（自拍照）in front of a car accident site, and a father loses his child without knowing about it while using his mobile phone. A chain of similar events eventually leads to the destruction of the world.

Although the ending sounds overstated, the damage phubbing can bring is real. Your health is the first to bear the effect and result of it. “Constantly bending your head to check your cell phone could damage your neck,” Guangming Daily quoted doctors as saying. “the neck is like a rope that breaks after long-term stretching.” Also, staring at cell phones for long periods of time will damage your eyesight gradually, according to the report.

But that’s not all. Being a phubber could also damage your social skills and drive you away from your friends and family. At reunions with family or friends, many people tend to stick to their cell phones while others are chatting happily with each other and this creates a strange atmosphere, Qilu Evening News reported.

It can also cost you your life. There have been lots of reports on phubbers who fell to their death, suffered accidents, and were robbed of their cell phones in broad daylight.

【1】For what purpose does the author give the example of a cartoon in Paragragh2?

A. To inform people of the bad effects of phubbing.

B. To advertise the cartoon made by students.

C. To indicate the world will finally be destroyed by phubbers.

D. To warn doctors against using cell phones while treating patients.

【2】Which of the following is NOT a risk a phubber may have?

A. His social skills could be affected.

B. His neck and eyesight will be gradually harmed.

C. He will cause the destruction of the world.

D. He might get separated from his friends and family.

【3】Which of the following may be the author’s attitude towards phubbing?

A. Supportive. B. Opposed.

C. Optimistic. D. Objective.

【4】What may the passage talk about next?

A. Advice on how to use a cell phone.

B. People who are addicted to phubbing.

C. The possible consequences of phubbing.

D. Measures to reduce the risks of phubbing.
