Chemicals inspired by Arctic animals could lengthen organs’ shelf life. D. Gibson’s antifreeze compounds can do what natural antifreeze proteins do. 答案：61-64 ADAC 解析：
第61题 A below zero与原文subfreezing temperatures同义替换,定位第一段，BCD与原文矛盾，根据第一段第二句Microscopic ice crystals cut cells and seize moisture选A。
第62题 D 根据第二段结尾do not necessarily look like them排除A根据第二段第五行highly poisonous to some species排除B。选项C说得是人造化合物并不是natural antifreeze proteins故排除。根据文章第一段结尾第二段，natural antifreeze proteins是在住在极寒环境的动物组织内，选D。 第63题 A 根据第三段第一行either attract or repel water同义替换故选A。
第64题 C 根据最后一段可知这个方案并不是final solution且仍旧需要进一步研究，科学研究类首段是主旨，这种受耐寒动物体启发而人工合成的化合物有可能lengthen organs’ shelf life故选C。
D
I remember my childhood summers fondly, as many of us do. Those golden days in which I would leave the house after a still sleepy, leisurely breakfast and come home only for lunch in the middle of a day spent entirely outdoors. We did not live in town and, thus, playmates were limited to siblings (兄弟姐妹) and the cousins who lived down the road.
Our backyard became the playground in which our imaginations would run wild—turning those few acres into magical forests, the creek (小溪) into a violent river and our trusty dog, Rex, into the many roles of horse, monster and any other creature that we children did not want to play. By the end of the three months of summer break we were sunburned from our hours in the sun, full of the memories of a thousand magical moments and bonded to our siblings in a way that winter’s forced hibernation (冬眠) never seemed to connect us.
Today, I live on the same acreage that I did as a child. My children have the blessing of having
the same grassy patches to scratch their bare feet as they run through it, the same creek to stomp(跺脚)through, and not the same dog—but their very own energetic pup to imagine away the days with.
However, this is not the same world as it was twenty, thirty years ago. There are screens everywhere in the house to demand attention—televisions with hundreds of channels, computers with access to a thousand entertaining sites, tablets stocked with apps. There is also no longer the expectation of a stretch of an unscheduled three months. Their school friends tell competitive stories of carefully planned vacations, spending time traveling to all of the local attractions—various parks, the zoo, the science center, all of the festivals which come breezing through town. On the very first day of school they will be asked to list their favorite activities of the summer and no longer are these lists filled with things like finding wood to make a bridge over a creek or a day spent in imaginative play with their siblings. The lists are now full of trips, overscheduled days and “camps” that no longer offer a stay in nature.
Our children have become used to being entertained every minute. In our house, we have limits on electronics and kick the kids outside on a nice day. Even as we try as parents to set limits and get our children out in nature, the new cry of childhood seems to be “I’m bored,” which is not really just meaning “I’m bored,” “but “Please find something to entertain me, as I no longer can entertain myself even for a short period of time.” Our children no longer know how to sit in silence, entertain themselves while even waiting for a few minutes and have lost the awe of nature as they have become addicted to screen time.
We have made a choice in this household to do what is no longer expected of children in many households—we will ensure that there are days of “boredom.” We refuse to spend our days scheduling our children’s every hour. There will be many days with no plans at all, when they will be sent outside with only the grass and the trees and their own imaginations to entertain them.
The screens will be turned off and our children will find that times of quiet can be just as or even more entertaining. They will bond with their brother and sister, making memories that they will replay in their minds well into adulthood. Even though sunscreen will be religiously applied, they will leave summer with sunburned and scratches coming from climbing trees, stomping through
creeks and chasing the dog in the field.
This summer I will be giving my children the greatest gift of all—boredom. For inside boredom is the gift of getting to know your own mind, of finding comfort and joy in nature and in the realization that the greatest gifts are experience, not things.

第65题 B选项D无中生有。根据第二段in which our imagination would run wild可排除C。据第一段文意关键句leave the house after a still sleepy, leisurely breakfast and come home only for lunch in the middle of a day spent entirely outdoors可知，第一二段主要写了作者童年时期悠闲随性的假期，排除A中organized activities, 最后再结合第四段第四行的unscheduled three months,故选B。 第66题 A 根据第四段第三行with access to a thousand entertaining sites可排除B。根据第四段结尾on longer offer a stay in nature结合全文的褒贬色彩排除C,D。故选A。
第67题 D根据第五段not…but “Please find something to entertain me…”孩子们感到无聊的根本原因是他们对电子屏幕上瘾，缺乏探索挖掘乐趣的体验，故D项正确。
第68题 C 根据第七段The screens will be turned off and…结合五六两段的描述，可见作者对现代孩子的童年生活感到不满意，故选B。
第69题 D根据最后一段For inside boredom is the gift of getting to know your own mind, of finding comfort and joy in nature and in the realization…可见目的在于让孩子有机会从大自然探索乐趣故选D。
第70题 A纵观全文反复提到boredom，作者自己悠闲随性，富有想象的童年对应的是boredom。结尾段This summer I will be giving my children the greatest gift of all ——boredom.故选A。而且A包含隐喻含义，boredom 看似无聊可是它可以给孩子们提供探索大自然的机会。
