　　C

　　Energy-saving Finns invented the first ice skate more than 5,000 years ago, as a practical method of transport to make getting across frozen lakes less of a struggle.

　　The earliest skates would have been blades made from bones and are one of the oldest means of transport ever discovered —they may even have been essential survival tools.

　　Researchers at Manchester Metropolitan University have calculated that ice skates would have saved energy by 10 percent, and suggest that they were developed for practical use and were not used for recreation, as they are today.

　　They think the most likely birthplace of skating is southern Finland, where there are many icy lakes.

　　The scientists have put their theory to the test and made replica（复制品） skates modeled after examples held at the British Museum and the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge.

　　Volunteers on ice rinks in the Alps had their heart rates, oxygen intake and skating speeds measured while they skated with the replica skates. From this experiment, re-searchers were able to calculate energy consumption and the efficiency of their skating. They discovered that skating over the land in ancient Fin-land would have saved 10 percent of people’s energy. The result is based on the fact that Finland has the highest concentration of lakes in the world. The ancient Finnish people could benefit more than others from developing this tool for transport.

　　In a time and environment in which the balance between energy taken from food and energy required to live was crucial; the least cost of energy might have helped humans survive in extreme conditions.

　　45. The first ice skate invented by the Finns was used for _____.

　　A. recreation

　　B. transportation across lakes

　　C. saving energy

　　D. sport

　　46. The birthplace of skating might be southern Finland because _____.

　　A. there are many icy lakes there

　　B. people need more oxygen to breathe in there

　　C. people feel tired easily there

　　D. transportation there is more difficult

　　47. Scientists have experimented with replica skates and found that with those skates the ancient Finnish people would have _____.

　　A. crossed a lot of lakes

　　B. saved 10 percent of energy when crossing the lakes

　　C. climbed the Alps easily

　　D. otherwise wasted a lot of food and energy

　　48. It can be inferred from the story that _____.

　　A. the Finnish people were clever enough to invent the practical skates

　　B. there were a lot of lakes in ancient Finland

　　C. the living conditions were very hard for the ancient Finnish people

　　D. it was very cold in ancient times in Finland

　　(山西省山大附中2017届高三9月月考) B

　　Even when you’re extremely busy, you aren’t using your time with 100% efficiency. There are gaps in everyone’s schedule where they aren’t doing anything important. Even if your schedule has no gaps, there is probably lots of time where you aren’t working as fast or as effectively as you possibly could.

　　Why aren’t you completely efficient? It’s because time isn’t the limiting factor. If it were the limiting factor, people could work non-stop without breaks or any unproductive distractions(消遣). Instead, people, even those who are highly productive, need to take breaks, occasionally procrastinate(拖延) and slow down on tasks throughout the day.

　　The real and most important limiting factor for productivity is your energy levels to pay attention. Energy levels limit your productivity because when you’re tired, you can have ample time and still not get everything done. Your attention ability is also limited, because even if there are a million things that need to be done, you can only focus on one or two at a time.

　　You might not be able to insert another 4-5 hours into your schedule without making some sacrifices. But even extremely busy people can add an hour or two into their schedule without cancelling anything. The reason it’s hard to “find time” isn’t a lack of time. It’s because you don’t have enough energy left to focus on something else that needs to fit into your day.

　　I first suspected time wasn’t the real problem during an extremely busy period in my life over a year ago. I was insanely （发疯地）busy, but at that time I still exercised regularly. I had daily to-do lists with over twenty items, and I still found time to exercise. However, after a few weeks off, due to illness, I stopped exercising. I was not busy by any standards, in fact, my schedule was incredibly light. Despite this free time, I found it hard to find time to exercise. It seemed to get pushed later and later into my schedule until it was gone. How can I explain this odd experience? I believe you have known it.

　　51. If someone can’t work with 100% efficiency, the most important limiting factor is ________.

　　A．a schedule without gaps

　　B．breaks and distractions

　　C．the limited time

　　D．the limited energy

　　. According to paragraph 4, everyone, including the extremely busy people, can ___________.

　　A．work without any rest

　　B．focus on many things at a time

　　C．find some more time in a day

　　D．do some exercise regularly

　　. After a few weeks off, what was the change of the writer’s life?

　　A．He had a longer daily to-do lists with over twenty items.

　　B．He stopped doing exercise because of the lack of energy.

　　C．He found it hard to find time to exercise because he was busier.

　　D．He pushed most of the things later and later in his schedule.

　　54. The writer gives the example of himself in the last paragraph in order to ___________.

　　A．prove what the real limiting factor is

　　B．show us how busily he needs to work

　　C．explain how important a healthy body is

　　D．tell us what an odd experience he has

　　55. What is the best title of the passage?

　　A．Are You Really Lack of Time?

　　B．How Can You Work Efficiently?

　　C．What Makes Your Energy Limited?

　　D．When Should You Do Exercise?

　　【答案解析】

　　E

　　Holidaymakers who are bored with baking beaches and overheated hotel rooms head for a big igloo. Swedish businessman Nile Bergqvist is delighted with his new hotel, the world's first igloo hotel. Built in a small town in Lapland, it has been attracting lots of visitors, but soon the fun will be over.

　　In two weeks' time Bergqvist' s ice creation (作品) will be nothing more than a pool of water. "We don't see it as a big problem," he says. "We just look forward to replacing it. "

　　Bergqvist built his first igloo in 1991 for an art exhibition. It was so successful that he designed the present one, which measures roughly 200 square meters. Six workmen spent more than eight weeks piling 1,000 tons of snow onto a wooden Base; when the snow froze, the base was removed. "The only wooden thing we have left in the igloo is the front door, "he says.

　　After their stay, all visitors receive a survival certificate recording their success. With no windows, nowhere to hang clothes and temperatures below 0℃, it may seem more like a survival test than a relaxing (轻松的) hotel break. "It's great fun," Bergqvist explains, "as well as a good start in survival training. "

　　The popularity of the igloo is beyond doubt: it is now attracting tourists from all over the world. At least 800 people have stayed at the igloo this season even though there are only 10 rooms. " You can get a lot of people in," explains Bergqvist. "The beds are three meters wide by two meters long, and can fit at least four at one time. "

　　1. Bergqvist designed and built the world' s first igloo hotel because _______.

　　A. he believed people would enjoy trying something new

　　B. he wanted to make a name for the small town

　　C. an art exhibition was about to open

　　D. more hotel rooms were needed

　　2. When the writer says "the fun will be over," he refers to the fact that _______.

　　A. hotel guests will be frightened at the thought of the hard test

　　B. Bergqvist' s hotel will soon become a pool of water

　　C. holidaymakers will soon get tired of the big igloo

　　D. a bigger igloo will replace the present one

　　3. According to the text, the first thing to do in building an igloo is _______.

　　A. to gather a pool of water

　　B. to prepare a wooden base

　　C. to cover the ground with ice

　　D. to pile a large amount of snow

　　4. When guests leave the igloo hotel they will receive a paper stating that ________.

　　A. they have visited Lapland

　　B. they have had an ice-snow holiday

　　C. they have had great fun sleeping on ice

　　D. they have had a taste of adventure

　　5. Which of the four pictures below is the closest to the igloo hotel as described in the text?

　　【答案解析】B此文讲的是北欧的北部地区冰雪旅馆趣闻。

　　59.答:A最佳【分析】题干意为主人公修建冰雪旅馆的原因是什么？句中一个关键词组为the world's first igloo hotel，而不是first igloo，此题要细心才能判断。“细心”指上边提到的 hotel而不是igloo；“判断”是指创意者考虑到市场需求而建hotel。若误选C，那一定是目光错移至第三段，真正要考虑的是第一段。

　　60.答:B最佳【分析】题难度适中，问the fun will be over是指什么事实？此题属细节判断题，答案从第一段最后一句及第二段的2句中去找。此段第一句关键部分是对will be nothing more than a pool of water的理解。引申意义为：冰雪旅馆一旦化成了水，那也就不称其为旅馆，自然乐趣就没了。

　　61.答:B最佳【分析】此题是推理题。题干意为根据短文的意思，建冰屋的先决条件是什么？选项中D很具迷惑性，稍有不慎就会误选，难度也相对大了。D的意思是堆积大量的雪，这是不争的事。文中的句子则是，当雪冻结后，把它堆到一个木头基座上，一俟 igloo做成就把木座移去，因此B正确。

　　62.答:D最佳【分析】此题较难，理由有二。其一是选项似乎都有理，其二是文中第四段中有个词组survivalcertificate。学生感到陌生，但此词在高三的课本中出现过，若考生有相当大的阅读量，阅读时能与recording their success联系到一起，读题时注意题于的a paper，正确判断D是必然的结果。

　　63.答:A最佳【分析】根据文中描述很容易得出答案。
