【正文】 nteresting side benefit, the solid carbon also works as an electrode(焊條), which opens up a world of possibilities. A side benefit of the process is that the carbon can hold electrical charge, being a super battery, so it could potentially be used as a part in future vehicles, explains Dr. Dorna Estrafilzadeh, a researcher. The process also produces fuel as a byproduct, which could also have industrial applications.（1）What can we know about the previous carbon capture methods? A. This new process involves a liquid metal catalyst(催化劑)that is efficient in conducting electricity. CO2 gas is dissolved in a container with some liquid. Once electricity charge is introduced, the CO2 begins to turn into solid pieces of carbon, which can be collected and stored.Carbon capture isn39。 5．閱讀理解 故選B。 （4）考查主旨大意。 由此可推斷,提高孩子的靈活性思維能力 在教育中是很重要的事。 （3）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第四段可推斷，第四段主要使用了兩個(gè)例子來(lái)闡明實(shí)驗(yàn)得出的結(jié)論。故選C。 （1）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。 Social Abilities Are Consistent with.

Gaither said. Children who were reminded of their various identities showed stronger problemsolving and creative thinking skills. When shown pictures of a bear staring at honeyfilled beehive(蜂窩)high up in a tree, these children had more creative ideas for how the bear might get the honey, such as turning over a bowl so that it became a stool(凳子). In other words, they saw a new use for the bowl. Children who were reminded of their multiple roles also showed more flexible thinking about social groupings. When asked to categorize different photos of faces, they suggested many ways to Spso. They identified smiling faces such as unsmiling ones, and old and young faces. The other children, meanwhile, primarily grouped people39。 Better problemsolving was just one positive finding of the study, said lead author Sarah Gaither, an assistant professor of psychology and neuroscience at Duke. After thinking about their own various identities, children also showed more flexible thinking about race and other social groupings—a behavior that could be valuable in an increasingly diverse society.4．閱讀理解 故選D。根據(jù)最后一段中的‘As technology makes it increasingly easy to build a social network of shallow friends, focusing time and attention on developing close connections with a few individuals should be a priority,’study coauthor Joseph Allen said in a statement.”研究報(bào)告的撰寫者之一Joseph Allen在一份聲明中說(shuō):“隨著科技的發(fā)展，建立淺層次朋友的社交網(wǎng)絡(luò)變得越來(lái)越容易，因此，把時(shí)間和精力集中在與少數(shù)人建立密切聯(lián)系上應(yīng)該是優(yōu)先考慮的事情。故選D。 （3）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第三段中的”A past research has suggested that adolescent friendships are important.“過(guò)去的一項(xiàng)研究表明，青少年間的友誼很重要，可知，過(guò)去的研究非常重視青少年間的友誼。故選C。根據(jù)第一段中的”Your teenage best friend could be good for your longterm mental health，according to a new study published in the journal Child Development.“根據(jù)發(fā)表在《兒童發(fā)展》雜志上的一項(xiàng)新研究，你十幾歲時(shí)最好的朋友可能對(duì)你的長(zhǎng)期心理健康有好處。研究人員發(fā)現(xiàn)知道如何建立親密的友誼可能比友誼本身更重要。Concentrating on highquality relationship.【答案】 （1）C（2）A（3）D（4）D 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說(shuō)明文，研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，那些有非常親密的好朋友的人也不太可能經(jīng)歷抑郁和社交焦慮。Broadening your social circle.C.Learning to use social media.D.Having a best friend in high school.C.Not continuing to have a close relationship. mental health.D.It was totally different from the new research.C.A large social network in the future.（2）What can we learn about the past research?

As technology makes it increasingly easy to build a social network of shallow friends, focusing time and attention on developing close connections with a few individuals should be a priority, study coauthor Joseph Allen said in a statement.（1）What is the benefit of having a close teenage friendship? A. A past research has suggested that adolescent friendships are important. Friendships during the teenage years predict academic success and improved mental health. But the new research further explores the type of friendships teenagers have. My hunch(預(yù)感)was that close friendships pared to broader friendship groups and popularity may not function the same way, Narr told Quartz. Being successful in one is not the same as being successful in the other. Your teenage best friend could be good for your longterm mental health, according to a new study published in the journal Child Development According to the findings, teenagers aged 15 to 16 who had a close friendship rather than a larger group of friends they were less close to had a greater sense of selfworth by the time they were 25 years old. Those people with a very close best friend were also less likely to experience depression and social anxiety, the study found. 【點(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解和推理判斷兩個(gè)題型的考查，是一篇教育類閱讀，考生需要準(zhǔn)確捕捉細(xì)節(jié)信息，并根據(jù)上下文進(jìn)行邏輯推理，從而選出正確答案?？赏浦?，Option 4能把你領(lǐng)進(jìn)你感興趣的領(lǐng)域，這應(yīng)該是學(xué)生選擇Option 4的原因。s rich and varied core courses and explore your fields of interest in free optional coursework.”有了這個(gè)項(xiàng)目，你將邁出你的第一步，進(jìn)入大學(xué)豐富多樣的核心課程，在自由選修課程中探索你感興趣的領(lǐng)域。根據(jù)Option 4: Traditional FirstYear Academic Program部分中的“With this program, you39。故選B。根據(jù)Option 2:FLL Hager Scholars Program部分中的“The FLL Hager Scholars Program is designed with our most ambitious students of languages and linguistics in mind, and is designed to create for them both a sense of munity and opportunities for intellectual growth.”FLL Hager Scholars Program的設(shè)計(jì)初衷是為我們最具雄心的語(yǔ)言和語(yǔ)言學(xué)學(xué)生服務(wù)，旨在為他們創(chuàng)造一種社區(qū)感和智力成長(zhǎng)的機(jī)會(huì)，可知，Option 2的設(shè)計(jì)初衷是為我們最具雄心的語(yǔ)言和語(yǔ)言學(xué)學(xué)生服務(wù)。故選D。根據(jù)Option 1:Liberal Arts Seminar部分中的“The Liberal Arts Seminar is a multidisciplinary（多學(xué)科的）course that
