Duolingo is a free language learning website and app.It offers free courses for those who want to learn a new language.As of 2016，Duolingo has 59 different language courses for 23 languages.Over 120 million people are registered with the program.Duolingo was created in 2011 by Professor Luis von Ahn and his graduate student，Severin Hacker，who was born in Switzerland.Professor Luis von Ahn was born in Guatemala and he was upset by how expensive it was for people in his town to learn English.He wanted to create a program that offered free education to anyone in the world.Because most of the services are available free of charge，Duolingo originally used the special business model to make money.Members of the public were able to translate content and vote on correct translations.The content came from large websites such as BuzzFeed and CNN.com，which paid Duolingo to translate their webpages.Many private investors have given money to the company，including actor Ashton Kutcher’s firm.Duolingo has also been used in public schools in Costa Rica and Guatemala.

What exactly is intelligence? There aren’t any easy answers.Despite the progress that has been made in genetics and psychology，human intelligence has remained one of the most controversial areas of modern science，until now，that is，for the discovery of a gene(基因) linked to intelligence has made the experts think again.
Robert Plomin of the Institute of Psychiatry in London and his colleagues in the US have been
由莲山课件提供http://www.5ykj.com/ 资源全部免费
由莲山课件提供http://www.5ykj.com/ 资源全部免费
looking into genetic makeup.From their research，they have discovered that a slightly different gene is more common in those with a high IQ.Plomin analyzed DNA from two groups of 51 children aged between 6 and 15.What he found was that the first group had an IQ of 136，putting them in the top 5% of the population，while the other group had an average IQ of 103.An analysis of their genes showed that 32% of children in the higher group had the gene in question，while only 16% in the second group did.However，there is a lot more research to be done，and Plomin himself is cautious at this early stage.He suggests that there are probably many genes that contribute to intelligence，rather than just one.
Several studies have shown a strong link between IQ and career success，although some psychologists remain unconvinced about this.Professor Michael Rowe，who has written a book called Genius Explained，is one of these.“The people with the highest IQs are not usually the ones who do best in their careers.”
Many psychologists now believe that when it comes to intelligence，IQ isn’t everything.Many alternative views have been put forward recently.One example is the idea of multiple intelligences，which was developed in the 1980s by Harvard psychologist Howard Gardner.This offers a much broader view than the IQ theory，including creativity and communication skills as relevant factors(因素) in intelligence.
Tony Buzan，brain expert and author of Master Your Memory，is enthusiastic about this belief，arguing that true geniuses(天才) do indeed appear to combine high levels of each type of intelligence.He lists Alexander the Great，Pablo Picasso and Albert Einstein as examples.At the same time，Buzan believes that everyone can develop their intelligence，only if they take the trouble to exercise their brain.Perhaps there’s hope for us all!
语篇解读 本文是一篇科普说明文，介绍了多元智力理论，讲述智力并不是受单方面影响，而是受多种因素影响的。
24.What is the topic of the passage?
A.What makes intelligence.
B.How to develop intelligence.
C.IQ benefits a lot from high intelligence.

More People Are Leaving the Rat Race for the Simple Life
Time is more precious than money for an increasing number of people who are choosing to live more with less—and liking it.
Kay and Charles Giddens，two lawyers，sold their home to start a B & B hotel.Four years later，the couple dished out banana pancake breakfast，cleaned toilets and served homemade chocolate chip cookies to guests in a B & B hotel surrounded by trees on a hill known for colorful sunsets.
“Do I miss the freeways？Do I miss the traffic？Do I miss the stress？No，” says Ms Giddens，“This is a phenomenon that’s fairly widespread.A lot of people are reevaluating their

lives and figuring out what they want to do.If their base is being damaged，what’s the payoff？”
Simple living ranges from cutting down on weeknight activities to sharing housing，living closer to work，avoiding shopping malls，borrowing books from the library instead of buying them，and taking a cut in pay to work at a more pleasurable job.
Vicki Robin，a writer，lives on a budget equal to a fifth of what she used to make.“You become conscious about where your money is going and how valuable it is，”Ms Robin says，“You tend not to use things up.You cook at home rather than eat out...”
Janet Luhrs，a lawyer，quit her job after giving birth and leaving her daughter with a nanny for two weeks.“It was not the way I wanted to raise my kids，”she says，“Simplicity is not just about saving money；it’s about me sitting down every night with my kids to a candlelit dinner with classical music.”
Mrs Luhrs now edits a magazine，Simple Living，which publishes tips on how to buy recycled furniture and shoes，organize potluck dinners instead of expensive receptions，and generally how to consume less.
“It’s not about poverty，” Mrs Luhrs explains，“It’s about conscious living and creating the life you want.The less stuff you buy，the less money goes out of the door，and the less money you have to earn.”
语篇解读 越来越多的人摆脱激烈竞争的环境回归简单的生活。他们重新审视生活的价值，希望过上一种自己喜欢的生活。

(2017·四川成都七中二模)
On 8th March this year，events marking International Women’s Day (IWD) were held in many countries around the world.In most countries the events have a political tone：they tend to celebrate the advances women have made towards economic，social and political equality with men，and to press for change in those areas of life where there is still progress to be made.
In other countries，meanwhile,8th March is traditionally more about expressing an appreciation of women：it is a day on which men give presents to their wives，girlfriends and mothers，and it therefore has some similarities with St Valentine’s Day and Mother’s Day.
Back in 1911，the first IWD events in Austria，Denmark，Germany and Switzerland were certainly political.They were protested by women against forms of gender discrimination that would now be unthinkable in most parts of the world：almost nowhere were women allowed to vote，and Finland was the only country with any female members of a national parliament.The general expectation worldwide，across different continents and cultures，was that women would spend their lives largely in the home，devoting themselves to looking after their husbands and children.The rate of women who had paid employment was far lower than today，and when women
由莲山课件提供http://www.5ykj.com/ 资源全部免费
由莲山课件提供http://www.5ykj.com/ 资源全部免费
did go out to work they typically earned very little，meaning they were economically dependent on men.
A century later，gender inequality in employment—particularly pay inequality—is still one of the hottest issues IWD tries to draw attention to：it remains common，of course，for women to earn less than men for doing exactly the same job.
Limited educational opportunities (there are many countries in which girls generally stay fewer years in school than boys) and domestic violence towards women have also been highlighted by events surrounding IWD in recent years.
And yet，as the IWD website notes， .As just one example，to return to the issue of women elected to office，the change over the last hundred years has been significant.Since 1911，when the small group of women in the Finnish parliament (nineteen of them，to be exact) were the only females in public office worldwide，the governments of more than fifty different countries have been led by women.In 2011，at least one country in every continent has a female leader，including highprofile examples such as Brazil (Dilma Rousseff)，Germany (Angela Merkel) and Australia (Julia Gillard).
语篇解读 本文是说明文，介绍了三八妇女节的由来。
32.According to the passage，which of the following is TRUE?
A.100 years ago，women were not allowed to work outside.
B.IWD is equal to St Valentine’s Day and Mother’s Day in some countries.
C.Finland was the first country with female employment.
D.Pay inequality is a hot issue for IWD.
答案 D
解析 细节理解题。根据文中第四段可知性别歧视尤其是薪水的不平等仍是国际妇女劳动节关注的热门话题。故选D。
33.Which word below is closest in meaning to the underlined phrase “press for” in Paragraph 1?
A.Prevent. B.Urge.
C.Express. D.Want.
答案 B
解析 词义猜测题。画线词所在句意为：在妇女节时大多数国家会庆祝女性在经济、社会和政治中争取与男性平等权利的成就，并且推进生活中其他有待改善的工作。画线词组与tend to 并列，由前面的“political tone”可知，此处指有政治意味的举措，B项符合语境。

B.the concept of equal pay for equal work is completely accepted in practice
C.much has been achieved in gender equality，but still there is space for improvement
D.one or two female leaders can’t stand for women’s social status on the whole

Easy Ways to Keep Your Brain Sharp
Everyone is forgetful，but as we age，we start to feel like our brains are slowing down a bit—and that can be a very annoying thing. 36 Read on for some techniques worth trying.
37
People who regularly made plans and looked forward to upcoming events had a 50 percent reduced chance of Alzheimer’s disease(早老性痴呆症)，according to a recent study. 38 Something as simple as setting a goal to have a weekly coffee date with a friend will do.There’s evidence that people who have a purpose in life or who are working on long or shortterm goals appear to do better.In other words，keep your brain looking forward.
Go for a walk.
Mildly raised glucose(葡萄糖) levels can harm the area of the brain that helps you form memories and physical activity can help get blood glucose down to normal levels.In fact，exercise produces chemicals that are good for your brain. 39
Learn something new.
Take a Spanish class online，join a drawing club，or learn to play cards.A study found that mental stimulation(刺激) limits the weakening effects of aging on memory and the mind.But the best thing for your brain is when you learn something new and are physically active at the same time. 40
A.Focus on the future.
B.This can be especially harmful to the aged.

C.It should be something like learning gardening or going dancing with your friends.
D.So take a few minutes each day to do some reading.
E.But don’t worry if your schedule isn’t filled with lifechanging events.
F.Luckily，research shows there is a lot you can do to avoid those moments.
G.In other words，when you take care of your body，you take care of your brain.
语篇解读 这篇文章主要讲了随着年龄增长人们的记忆力在减弱，研究表明有一些方法可以缓解早老性痴呆。
36.答案 F
解析 空前的意思是：那是一件令人头疼的事情。空后的意思是：下面的一些方法很值得一试。所以这里选F(研究表明，你可以做很多事情来避免它。)串联上下文。
37.答案 A
解析 设空处为小标题。由本段内容，结合“made plans”“looked forward”等可知，本段主要讲为未来规划。故A项符合。
38.答案 E
解析 空后的意思是：很多看似简单的事情，比如制定一个和朋友一周喝一次咖啡的计划也是有用的。所以这里选E(但是如果你的安排没有包括改变生活的大事也不要担心。)引起下文。
39.答案 G
解析 空前的意思是：事实上，锻炼身体会产生对你大脑有益的化学成分。所以这里选G(换句话说，当你照看好你的身体时，你就照顾好了你的大脑。)承接上文。
40.答案 C
解析 空前的意思是：学一些新的东西并同时伴有活跃的肢体运动对你的大脑最有好处。所以这里选C(比如像学着栽培花木或者和朋友一起跳舞这类体力运动。)与上下文一致。本句的something与空前的“learn something new”对应。

(2017·河南豫南九校质量考评Ⅶ)
Researchers from the University of Michigan have found that astronauts’ brains change shape during spaceflight.It is the first study 61 (look) into how the brain changes in space.Researchers looked at hightech MRI(磁共振成像) pictures of the brains of 26 astronauts who spent time in space.Twelve of the 62 (astronaut) spent two weeks on the Space Shuttle，and 14 spent six weeks on the International Space Station.All of them 63 (experience) increases and decreases in the size of 64 (differ) parts of the brain.The longer an astronaut spent in space，the 65 (big) the size differences were.
The research produced some 66 (interest) findings.One is that no gravity means fluids do not drop in the body， 67 there is a shift in the brain’s position inside the skull.The brain becomes either smaller or bigger.The findings could help doctors to treat problems that affect the brain’s function.They could treat people with problems 68 (cause) by longterm bed rest.They could also help those who have a buildup of fluid in the brain，which can lead 69 brain damage.We will understand more about 70 neurons(神经元) in the brain connect.The findings will also help future trips to Mars.

61.答案 to look
解析 考查不定式。当名词被序数词修饰且该名词与后面作定语的非谓语动词为逻辑上的主动关系时，需用不定式形式作定语，故填to look。
62.答案 astronauts
解析 考查名词复数。句意为：这些宇航员中有12人在航天飞船度过了两周，有14人在国际空间站度过了6周。根据前面的“Twelve of the”可推知设空处填名词复数形式，故填astronauts。
63.答案 experienced
解析 考查时态。根据上句中的spent可推知设空处需用一般过去时，故填experienced。
64.答案 different
解析 考查形容词。设空处需用形容词(different)作名词parts的定语。
65.答案 bigger
解析 考查比较级。the＋比较级...，the＋比较级...越……，越……。故填bigger。
66.答案 interesting
解析 考查形容词。句意为：该项研究产生了一些有趣的发现。设空处用形容词作定语，故填interesting“(事物)令人感兴趣的”。
67.答案 so
解析 考查连词。前后两个分句为因果关系，故填并列连词so。
68.答案 caused
解析 考查非谓语动词作定语。被修饰词problems与cause为逻辑上的被动关系，故填caused。
69.答案 to
解析 考查固定搭配。句意为：它们也可帮助那些脑积水的病人，脑积水可能会导致脑损伤。lead to为固定短语，意为“导致”。
70.答案 how
解析 考查名词性从句的引导词。句意为：我们会更多地了解大脑中的神经元是如何连接的。“ neurons(神经元) in the brain connect”为宾语从句，作介词about的宾语。该从句中缺少方式状语，故填连接副词how。

参考范文
Dear Sir/Madam，
I am very glad to learn that your school will hold the English summer camp which contains many courses，such as cooking，swimming，giving first aid and so on.
I want to attend a course about giving first aid because it is important for us to learn some knowledge about first aid in our daily life.If a person gets injured，he needs medical care immediately before a doctor can be found.At that time，one second really counts.After graduation，I plan to devote my life to medical research.Hopefully，the course will help me a lot to deal with some common injuries.
I would appreciate it if you could take my application into consideration.
Yours，
Li Hua
