ASomething you may not know about End of HeatThe traditional Chinese lunar calendar divides the year into 24 solar terms. End of Heat is the 14th solar term of the year, which implies that most parts in China are getting rid of the hot summer and entering autumn. But in some areas, especially in South China, autumn is late in coming and people are still bothered by hot weather. End of Heat is also the busy harvest season for farmers.The following are the things you should know about End of Heat.Time for night-blooming cereus(昙花)The night-blooming cereus is a flower full of mystery, which often blooms during the period of End of Heat. This is because the climate during End of Heat, characterized by warm days and cold nights, is similar to tropical deserts. Night-blooming cereus originates in the tropical deserts from Mexico to Brazil in South America. They blossom at night to avoid the blazing daytime sun.Eating DuckDuck has a sweet flavor and according to Chinese traditional medicine it has a“cool”nature. Afolk tradition is to eat duck during the End of Heat period. There are many recipes for cooking duck such as roast duck, cooked duck with lemon, smoked duck with walnut dressing and sauteed duck with ginger shoots. The tradition of eating duck during the End of Heat period is still popular in China.The Fishing Season FestivalFor fishermen, the End of Heat is a season of harvest. During this period, the Fishing Season Festival is held in regions along the coastline of the East China Sea in Zhejiang province.

When a library goer scanned Tutu’s QR code, Wangbao seemingly became annoyed, which brought a great amusement to the library goer who posted a video of the exchange that occurred on December 30 and has gone viral on social media.“Tutu, let’s stop fighting, OK?”said Wangbao．“Your mood sure swings a lot!”Tutu said.Wangbao raved, “Aren’t you a drama queen, I’m giving you an out. Stop being petulant!’’The library goer was even more amused, as the two robots grew noisier and angrier with each other, and finally, abruptly turning away from each other like naughty children.“It looks like how you quarrel with your girlfriend, ha-ha. ”one netizen posted.“I see myself from the quarrel, ”wrote another on Sina Weibo, which was echoed by many others.“It’s annoying to hear people arguing, and I didn’t expect I'd have to listen to robots arguing, ”another netizen wrote.The online video was widely circulating on Sina Weibo, with some 500, 000 views as of press time on Saturday. Tutu and Wangbao became internet hot figures, even attracting attention from major news outlets in the country.When the two online celebrities were interviewed by reporters on Friday, the two seems already forgave each other after three days．“It was a thing last year…Isn’t it normal to have quarrels between friends?’’Wangbao said in video posted by the Xinhua News Agency on Saturday.4. What’s the purpose of paragraph one?A. To show how smart the two robots are.B. To increase our awareness of AI technology.C. To introduce the following parts.D. To criticize the quarrel between the two robots.5. What was the library goer’s attitude towards the argument?A. Amazed.B. Entertained.C. Puzzled.D.

Where is the text most likely from?A. A textbook.B. A diary.C. A magazine.D. A website.CAs Australia experiences record-breaking drought and bush-fires, koala populations have declined along with their habitat, leading to koalas becoming“functionally extinct”. The chairman of the Australian Koala Foundation, Tabart, estimates that over 1, 000 koalas have been killed from the fires and that 80 percent of their habitat has been destroyed.Functional extinction is when a population becomes so limited that they no longer play an important role in their ecosystem and the population becomes no longer possible to live.Deforestation and bush-fires destroy the main food source of koalas, the eucalyptus(桉树)tree. An adult koala will eat up to 2 pounds of eucalyptus leaves per day as its main food.Many are asking the Australian government to pass The Koala Protection Act, written in 2016 but never passed into law. The Koala Protection Act would work to protect habitat and trees important to koala as well as protect koalas from hunting.Recent videos of Australians saving koalas has led to increased donation to help burned koalas. The Port Macquarie Koala Hospital set up a Go Fund Me page seeking donations to help the hospital treat injured koalas. To date, they have raised$1. 33 million, well over their $25, 000 goal, which comes from over 30, 000 donors. The funds will also be used for a“Koala Ark”as a refuge for burned koalas to live in healthy habitat.8．According to the first paragraph, what can we know about the drought and bush-fires?A. They are the most serious ones in the history of Australian.B. They have made koalas extinct.C. They have killed 80％of the koalas.D. They brought the most serious influence to Australian.9. When does functional extinction happen?A. When a species becomes extinct.B. When a species is limited to certain habitat.C. When ecosystem no longer plays an important role.D. When the number of a species becomes so small that they have little chance to live. 10．According to the passage, the following statements are true EXCEPT that_____．A. koalas mainly feed on eucalyptus tree leavesB. the Australian government has passed The Koala Protection Act into lawC. The Koala Protection Act is aimed to protect koalas and its habitatD. a good many Australians are quite concerned about koalas11. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. Some videos require people to donate for koalas.B. Go Fund Me page treated injured koalas.C. Australians have deep love for koalas and donate generously to help them.D. The funds will be used to set up healthy habitat for koalas.DChildren born in the past four decades had the luxury of being the center of their parents’attention. The entire family’s resources were poured into their education and well-being.However, when the same resources are split between two children, the amount distributed to each one is going to shrink.According to the Hangzhou Daily, when there are two children in the family, parents tend to choose public schools instead of private schools, which are usually more expensive．Each child is enrolled in fewer after-school training classes．But having a second child may cure some deep-rooted problems in China’s traditional family education.Having two children in the family can help to prevent one child being spoiled by too much attention, according to People’s Daily. It also spares the only child from the pressure of shouldering parental expectations all alone. Taking care of a sibling also enables children to gain a sense of responsibility, cooperation, obedience and caring.China’s public education system is also expected to shift. Currently, there are not enough vacancies in kindergarten and schools to accommodate the potential increase in children.“It’s not only the enrollment capacity of educational institutions that will feel the pressure．People are also placing more emphasis on the quality of education, ”Peng Xizhe, director of the Population and Development Research Policy Center at Fudan University, told China Education Daily．He predicts the government may have to invest more to support the educational system as a result of the new family planning measure.12. What can children benefit from a two-child family?A. They can have less pressure.B. They can study in private schools.C. They can get much more attention.D. They can take more after-school training classes.13. Which of the following words can replace the underlined word“accommodate”?A. holdB. adaptC. solveD. consider14. What can we infer from Peng Xizhe’s words?A. People are placing more emphasis on the quality of education.B. The government may have to invest more to support the educational system.C. The new family planning measure will challenge the current educational system.D. The educational institutions will feel the pressure that their capacity is not enough.15. What is the purpose of this text?A. To show benefits of owning two children.B. To persuade people to bear more children.C. To encourage people to have only one child.D. To introduce the impact of two-child policy.第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分, 满分12.5分)根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

But there may be a(n) 41 to doing so, as a study has claimed that 3D films exercise the brain and improve short-term functioning in a similar way to brain-training tests.The research was led by neuroscientist(神经科学家) Dr Patrick Fagan from Goldsmiths University in London. More than 100 people took part in the experiment, where participants watched Disney film Big Hero6 in either 42 type or RealD 3D. They also carried out a brain-training-style test before and after seeing a part from the film. The test covered memory, reaction time and cognitive (认知的) function, and the results were later 43 .According to the research, participants 44 a 23 per cent increase in cognitive processing, as well as an 11 percent increase in reaction time.Dr Fagan said that the results showed enough of an improvement in brain function to suggest that 3D could play a part in improving brain 45 in the future. “These findings are more significant than youmight think,” he said. “It is a fact that people are living longer and there is a(n) 46 decline in cognitive brain function in old age which can damage future quality of life. There has never been a better time to look at ways to improve brain function. The initial results of this study indicate that 3D films may 47 play a role in slowing this decline.”A second part of the experiment involved those watching the film being fitted with headsets(耳机)that48 brain activity and this too showed heightened activity when watching 3D. According to the results, participants were seven percent more engaged with what they were watching, adding to the argument that 3D movies are more like watching real-life-something. “A seven percent rise in emotional engagement is 49 remarkable. Watching in 3D gives the viewer such an enriched and quality experience, as these results show,” he said. “In evolutionary 50 , the results of both parts of the test certainly make sense. 3D films are more likely to heighten the senses and cause emotional arousal—this, in turn, makes the brain run at quicker speeds,” Dr Fagan added.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, Cand D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Researchers recently find w omen likely face work environments that push against the “having it all” mentality, leading to feelings of guilt and depression.Trying to have it all could be bad for your mental health, according to a new study that finds that “supermoms” have higher rates of depression compared with working moms who let things 51 .The research, presented Aug. 20 at the annual meeting of the American Sociological Association in Las Vegas, finds that working is 52 for mothers’ mental health. But among working mothers, the least depressed are those who don’t expect to 53 work and family life perfectly, said study researcher Katrina Leupp, a graduate student at the University of Washington in Seattle.“The ideal that women can do it all actually 54 the level of depressive symptoms compared to women who were more doubtful about whether or not work and family c an be balanced,” Leupp told LiveScience.Leupp analyzed survey 55 from 1,600 married women who participated in a large survey called the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth. In 1987, the women answered questions to judge their support of women’s 56 , including whether they agreed with statements such as “Women are much happier if they stay at home and take care of their children.”In 1992 and 1994, the now 40-year-old women answered questions about their symptoms of depression. Like earlier studies, the survey data indicated that women who worked outside the home had fewer symptoms of depression, perhaps because outside work giveswomen more 57 interaction, more varied activities and a larger income, Leupp said.Among the employed women, though, the cheeriest were those who had indicated in their younger years the least 58 for women balancing career and family. The results held even after controlling for earlier levels of depression.“Somewhat 59 , women who don’t expect to be able to balance work and family have better mental health than those who do,” Leupp said.The study didn’t explain why optimistic (乐观的) views of balancing work and motherhood would60 later depression. “The reason may come down to 61 and real-world work environme nts,”Leupp said. “Women who expect to have it all probably come up against 62 that aren’t designed with work-life balance in mind. When they can’t balance everything perfectly, these supermoms are more likely to feel 63 .”“I think this research rea lly speaks to a 64 between women’s expectations and the actual structure of the workplace,” Leupp said.“The takeaway for working moms is to temper their optimism about balancing 65 and employmentand not to blame themselves if they struggle. Recognize that if it feels difficult, it’s because it is difficult.”51. A. happen B. continue C. slide D. end52. A. good B. ready C. hard D. possible53.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits bestaccording to the information given in the passage you have just read.（A）The twenty-four horses dash around a racetrack. The thunder of their hooves (蹄) rings in the riders’ears, nearly drowning out the cheering of the crowd. After three or four minutes of suspense, one horse crosses the finish line first, winning the Melbourne Cup and earning a place in history.The horses that compete in the Melbourne Cup—one of the world’s most famous horseraces—were fated to race. Bred for speed, these horses are the few that were singled out as having potential to become champions.Preparing a racehorse to compete requires a team. A horse’s owner manages the team and decides which races to enter. A trainer determines the racehorse’s diet and exercise. Regular exercise makes a horse less likely to be injured, but overtraining tires the horse. A groomer (动物美容师) cares for the racehorse and reports any problems he discovers to the trainer. And of course, no horserace could be run without a rider. These riders train for long hours and travel constantly from one race to another. They need to make a strategy, adapt to changing conditions and communicate with their horse to guide it to victory.Australia’s most famous horserace, the Melbourne Cup, is 3,200 meters of pure excitement. Each year 300 or 400 horses are nominated(提名), but only 24 can run. The competitors are chosen based on a number of factors, but winners of certain races qualify automatically.Each racehorse receives a handicap—a certain weight it must carry to give each horse an equal chance of winning—two months before the race. Originally, horses that seemed likely to win were assigned larger handicaps. But the rules have changed, reducing the handicap for previous winners.The first Melbourne Cup in 1861 drew a crowd of 4,000 spectators, and the race’s popularity has grown since then. Held on the first Tuesday of November, the cup has become a four-day festival with fine food and entertainment.The Melbourne Cup began during a gold rush as a form of entertainment for the rich. Today it still attracts society’s upper class. They come dressed in their finest to enjoy the event in comfort.But anyway it’s all about the race—the effort of horses and riders, the suspense and the thrill of victory.66. What can be learned about the horses in the Melbourne Cup?A. They are all winners of a certain race.B. They are raised and trained by joint effort.C. They are chosen from ordinary horses.D. Their fates are determined by their trainers.67.

The solution may be just a few steps away.“Energy harvesting”promises to power countless consumer devices, often with nothing more thanyour body’s movement or heat. Dozens of companies around the world already offer such products, but many experts believe the market for the technology could explode due to electronic devices being developed for the Internet of Things.“It’s huge,”said Graham Martin, CEO of the EnOcean Alliance, a San Ramon-based group of businesses that promotes wireless energy-harvesting technologies. With the Internet of Things expected to combine billions of devices, “if they are all battery-powered, we’ll have a problem because there’s not enough lithium (锂) in the world,” he added. “So a lot of them will have to use energy harvesting.”Among the most basic forms of the technology is body power. When certain materials are squeezed or stretched, the movement of their atoms creates an electrical charge. Automatic watches have employed the concept for decades, for example, by winding themselves when their user moves their arm. Now, the concept is being considered for a number of other devices.In a contest seeking visionary ideas for wearable technologies, Intel awarded $5,000 for a concept to change the temperature difference between a person’s body and a special piece of clothing they’d wear into electricity for mobile devices.Using sound to power devices is another energy-harvesting variation. Stanford University engineers are testing smart microchips (芯片) that create electricity from ultrasound (超声波) to power implantable (可植入的) devices that can analyze a person’s nervous system or treat their diseases.A textile (纺织品) research association in Spain is proposing to obtain electricity from radio waves that flow around everyone to power sensors sewn into clothes, which can monitor a person’s heartbeat or other vital signs.Research firm IDTechEx has estimated that annual global sales of energy-harvesting products could hit $2.6 billion by 2024, while WinterGreen Research predicts sales of $4.2 billion by 2021.Obtaining stable energy from devices can be complex, however. For one thing, the motion that generates the electricity has to be constant to be useful. Moreover, the amount of power the devices produce depends on the person using them, according to a ColumbiaUniversity study. It determined that taller people on average provide about 20 percent more power than shorter ones when walking, running or cycling.It’s also unclear how eagerly consumers might welcome energy-harvesting products. While such devices are expected to cost less than battery-powered alternatives when compared over many years, experts say, people may continue buying ones with batteries merely because those would be cheaper in the short term.74.

Here’s a suggestion: Make a flexible work schedule part of the deal.Asurvey this summer of 1,215 U.S. managers and employees across a variety of industries, by EY (formerly Ernst & Young), found those aged 18 to 32 rank flexibility among the perks (特殊待遇) they want most, with 33% saying they wouldn’t work anywhere that didn’t offer it. But it seems those aged 33 to 48value flextime even more: 38% of them consider it non-negotiable, with men who said so, at 40%, slightly outnumbering women (37%).“Companies first started offering flexible schedules, in the late 80s and the 90s, as a way to recruit (招募) and keep talented women, but it’s gone way beyond that now,” observes Karyn Twaronite, an EY partner who came up through the tax side of the business.Noting that both men and women, in all age groups, ranked flextime(弹性工作制) tops among non-cash perks, Twaronite adds, “That result mirrors exactly what we’re seeing here at EY.” The accounting and consulting giant, No. 57 on Fortune’s Best Companies to Work For, has had thousands of employees working flexible schedules for years—including, since 2004, six weeks’ of paid leave for new dads.“Flextime may have started out as a women’s issue, but it’s changed into something that people of both sexes have come to expect,” he adds. “I think it’s partly because of the large nu mber of two-career households now, where people have to adapt to two demanding professional schedules instead of just one.”The EY survey suggests that, in the next decade or so, the opportunity for a life outside the office will become an even bigger draw than it already is. Most of those surveyed still work a set schedule, the report notes, but “respondents expect a shift in the coming years to more flexible hours, as 62% currently work standard office hours and only 50% expect to do so in five to ten yea rs.”That doesn’t surprise Twaronite. “Work is changing,” she observes. “The technology to connect anywhere and anytime means that people are expected to be on call 24 hours a day, especially in global companies that operate across different time zones. The other side of that is that employers are adapting to people’s lives outside of work—because they have to be.”(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)78. What is the main finding of the survey?79. Flextime was originally aimed at _____.80. The result of the survey is caused by the fact that _____.81.

AChristmas is a time for eating great food, giving and receiving presents, and most importantly spending time with your family watching some classic Christmas movies. The Grinch(2000)This is a Christmas must-watch and one of Jim Carrey's best performances. It was also originally a nursery tale book written by Dr Seuss. It's the story of a green monster who wantsto ruin Christmas but in the end discovers the power of love and generosity. I promise it's a great film with plenty of laughs along the way.Love Actually(2003)While this is not a personal favourite of mine, people in the UK absolutely love this film. It has many featuring actors and actresses. It might be a little difficult to follow as there are plex plots, so I remend watching a translated version. However, the heart-warming elements of the film make it worth watching.Home Alone(1990)This amusing masterwork is one of my favourite films of all time. It tells the story of a boy, Kevin, who is left alone in his house when his large family forgets to take him on vacation with them. While other family members are away, burglars try to rob the house and Kevin must protect his home by setting traps. The trips, falls and traps will have you laughing out loud as you watch an 8-year-old boy beat two grown men.Miracle on 34th Street(1994)You can't have Christmas in an English-speaking country without watching this movie. It's not funny like Home Alone or The Grinch, but it is incredibly touching. It's about a man who claims to be Santa, but nobody believes him except a lawyer anda little girl. The story line may seem a little childish but you can enjoy it at any age1.Which film is adapted from a fairy tale?A.The Grinch.B.Home AloneC.Love Actually.D.Miracle on 34th Street.【答案】.A【解析】细节理解题。

In a garden filled with flowers and beds bursting with vegetables and herbs, nearly a dozen teenagers are harvesting vegetables for the weekend's farmers market.Roshawn Little is going into her junior year at Eastern, and has been working in this garden for three years now. During the summer, Little gets paid to work Tuesday through Saturday from 9 a. m. until 2 p. m. with City Blossoms, a nonprofit that brings community gardens to schools in urban areas. She believes that working in the garden has taught her to try all sorts of new things, like eating different kinds of vegetables more often. And she's taken those healthy behaviors home with her and her eating habits have encouraged her family to buy more fruits and vegetables.City Blossoms is one of many groups across the country teaming up with local communities to build school gardens, like the one at Eastern. It works with schools to create learning gardens and trains teachers on how to use them to get students engaged and boost academics. These gardens are really outdoor classrooms. For example, the gardens can be used for math lessons, like calculating the area of a plant bed or learning the science of how plants grow.For the students, the experience can be a nutritional eye-opener, which has totally changed their perceptions of where food comes from, and what it takes to produce food. Partner schools have also seen a 12 to 15 percent increase in the number of students passing standardized tests and 94 percent of teachers reported seeing increased engagement from their students, according to an independent evaluation conducted by PEER Associates.4. What does Roshawn Little think of the summer outdoor activity?A, It is a good way to earn pocket money.B. It has improved her family relationship.C. It contributes to her healthy eating habit.D. It is helpful to her academic performance.5. What, is the purpose of the school gardens?.A. To provide a creative way of learning；B. To-promote teachers1 teaching skills.G.

Its operations.D. Its participants.7. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. City Blossoms：Team up with Local Community TeachersB. Happy Holiday, Sweet memory：How Kids Enjoy the HarvestC. Outdoor Classrooms：Get out for the Weekend's Farmers MarketD. Healthy Eaters, Strong Minds：What School Gardens Teach KidsCThe. production and distribution of food accounts for around a third of the world's total greenhouse gas emissions（排放）.But as a consumer? it's difficult to measure the climate impact of what you eat.A Dublin-based startup called Evocco could soon make it much easier. It lets users track and improve the climate impact of your food purchases. Users simply photograph their grocery receipts using the Evocco app, which identifies the food products by reading the printed text and usingmachine learning. It then calculates the carbon footprint based on the store's location and by checking the type, weight and origin o£ a food against a database. The database is maintained by Eaternity, a life cycle assessment company based in Switzerland. If the receipt doesn't contain enough data on a product, it will give an estimate based on similar products and reference points.The app is available for free on iOS and Android devices, which has been downloaded more than 1,000 times since its launch at the end of last year. As well as the personal shopping app —which Evocco hopes to launch in the United States by the end of this year -- the company is developing a digital tool to sell to food storekeepers, e-commerce platforms and delivery apps that will track the climate impact of a product's journey through the supply chain. The aim is to help storekeepers provide climate impact information directly to consumers, and more importantly, to give Evocco access to product data to improve its app.The Evocco app is not the only app looking to reach this climate-conscious market. There's Capture, which estimates monthly CO2emissions by asking users a series of questions on diet, transport and other factors, as well as Yayzy and My Carbon Action, which link to a user's bank account, calculating their footprint from trade.8. What is the Evocco app designed to do?A. Confirm the origin of food products.B. Work out the climate effect of food.C. Collect varieties of grocery receipts.D. Monitor customers' shopping practices.9. What does the underlined word "it" in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. The product.B. The receipt.C. Evocco.D. Eaternity.10. What do we know about the company Evocco from Paragraph 3?A. It profits a great deal from its app.B. It has launched its app in America.C. It is trying to get its app improved.D. It prefers to sell its app to storekeepers.,11. What does the last paragraph imply?.A. The Evocco app is still far from satisfactory.B. Smart tools make tracking carbon footprint easier.C. Present digital markets should be strictly restrictedD. Environmental awareness boosts food industry rapidly.DAbout seven years ago, Kristin and Josh Mohagen were honeymooning in Napa Valley in California, when they smelled something surprising in their glasses of wine；green pepper. It was explained that the grapes in that bottle had ripened on a hillside alongside a field of green peppers. "That was my first experience with terroir , " Josh Mohagen says.It made an impression. Inspired by their time in Napa, the Mohagens returned home and launched a chocolate business based on the principle of terroir , often defined as "sense of place”.The definition of terroir is somewhat fluid. Wine enthusiasts use the French term to describe the environmental conditions in which a grape is grown that give a wine its unique taste and smell. The soil, climate and even the orientation（朝向）of a hillside or the company of neighboring plants, and insects play a role. Some experts expand terroir to include specific cultural practices for growing and processing grapes that could also influence taste.The idea of terroir is quite old. In the Middle Ages, the wine-makers in Burgundy, France, divided the countryside into different climate areas, according to differences in the landscape that seemed to translate into unique wine characteristics. Wines produced around the village of Gearey-Chambertin, for example, “are famous for being fuller-bodied, powerful arid more tannic than most," says Joe Quinn, wine director of The Red Hen, a restaurant in Washington, D. C. "In contrast, the wines from the village of Chambolle- Musigny, just a few miles south, are widely considered to be more fine, delicate and light- bodied.”A recent wave of scientific research suggests that the environment and production practices can, in fact, produce a chemical or microbial （微生物的）signature so distinctive that scientists can use the signature to trace food back to its origin. And in some cases, these techniques are beginning to offer clues on how terroir can shape the smell and taste of food and drinks.12. What impressed the Mohagens most during their stay in Napa?A. The smell from the wine.B. The field of green peppers.C. The scenery of Napa Valley.D. The ripe grapes on a hillside.13 What does the underlined word “fluid" in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. Impractical.B. Specific.C. Uncertain.D. Conventional.14. Why did the author quote a wine director in Paragraph 4?A. To demonstrate the effect of terroir.B. To introduce two types of grape wine.C. To prove the long history of terroir.D. To get a restaurant known to the public.25. What can be learned about terroir from the text?A. Its research is of little benefit.B. It gives food its unique features.C. Its value needs to be further tested.D. It is a newly-acknowledged concept.第二节（共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

B Last summer, Maria and her mother moved from their house in the countryside to a flat building inChicago.Maria really liked some things about the city, but she missed her house and yard in the countryside.One day, Maria was in her flat building when she noticed her neighbor, Mrs.Garcia, carrying a gardening tool and a bag of soil.Maria wondered how Mrs.Garcia was able to garden in the city.“My mom used to grow the most delicious vegetables, and I know she misses her garden now that we don't have a yard, ”said Maria.Mrs.Garcia laughed.“I'll show you, ”she said.Maria thought that Mrs.Garcia would take her to the park, but she took her to the roof (屋顶). When the door opened, Maria was surprised to see rows of flowers and vegetables on the roof.“What a wonderful garden！”said Maria.Mrs.Garcia told Maria that for a long time the roof was just an empty space.Then some of the people in the building asked the owners to turn it into a community garden.The building owners liked the idea because the plants not only helped to keep the air clean, but they also helped to keep the building cooler during warmer weather.“I plant flowers in my own place, ”Mrs.Garcia said, “but you would be surprised by how different the plants are up here.Some people grow vegetables just like your mom.You can do some of the same things in the city as in the countryside.You just have to be creative！”4. When did Maria and her mother move to a flat building in Chicago?A. Last month.B. Last winter.st summer.D. Last week. 5. Where did Mrs.Garcia take Maria to one day? A. The park. B. The roof. C. The garden in front of her house. D. The countryside. 6. Which of the following is NOT the advantage of the community garden? A. It used the empty space well. B. It helped keep the air clean. C. It helped keep the building cooler. D. It made the building stronger. 7. What is the best title for this passage? A. A Creative Lady B. A Rooftop Garden C. An Empty Roof D. A Special Building C Sports fandom is about more than just entertainment. It can boost your self-esteem (自尊) and make you happier—and you don’t have to root for the winning team to gain the benefits.Being a sports fan is a “very psychologically healthy activity,” says Daniel Wann, professor at Murray State University whose research program centers on the psychology of sport fandom. Fandom connects us to otherlike-minded people, which satisfies our human need for belonging, he says.These relationships are significant: People who identify as sports fans have higher levels of self-esteem, lower levels of lon eliness and tend to be more satisfied with their lives compared to those who aren’t interested in sports, Wann says. Fans tend to have more access to social support, help and resources as well. Research suggests that when people have support from their communities, they have better health.Beyond bonding, fans get to enjoy the psychological benefits of winning, even if they have nothing to do with the players or games, says Stephen Reysen, associate professor at Texas A&M University-Commerce who studies identity and fandom.“Individuals feel that the fan interest (in this case a sport team) is a part of them,” Reysen says. “So when theteam is winning, you feel like you are winning even though you are not a player.”Of course, teams sometimes lose.So, why do people continue to put their faith behind teams that tend to lose? People who feel a strong psychological connection to a team are more likely to root for a team when they’re having a losing season, Reysen says.“Sports fandom has nothing to do with the outcome of a game,” Wann says. For example, if a pizza restaurant continually got your order wrong, you’d likely switch to a more reliable one. But because being a fan is so central to people’s identities, people are willing to accept defeat and continue to be loyal to a team.Being part of a fan community can also help people cope with losses. A 2019 study found that watching a football game with other fans helps to ease the negative psychological effects of losing.“For fans of the losing team, sharing t he pain may have protected them from losing self-esteem,” Silvia Knobloch-Westerwick, co-author of the study and professor of communication at The Ohio State University said in a release.8. According to the passage, why do sports fans feel happier?A. Because they could gain the benefits from the winning team.B. Because they can share pains and happiness with people who have the common interests.C. Because they could have a low level of self-esteem.D. Because most of them are optimistic.9.

According to the passage, what can help sports fans deal with losses of their team?A. Being part of the team.B. Ordering a pizza in a different restaurant.C. Sharing the pain with family members.D. The loyalty to the team.DLife is filled with challenges. As we get older, we come to realize that those challenges are the very things that shape us and make us who we are. It is the same with the challenges that come with friendship. When we are faced with a challenge, we usually have two choices. We can try to challenge it, or we can decide that the thing isn’t worth the trouble and call it quits. Although there are certainly times when calling it quits is the right thing to do, in most case what we needed is commitment (投入) and communication.When we are committed to something, it means that no matter how painful or how uncomfortable something is, we will always choose to face it instead of running away from it. Communication is making space for discussion and talking abo ut how you feel instead of just saying what the other person did wrong. If you can say to a friend, “I got my feelings hurt.” rather than “You hurt my feelings.” you are going to be able to solve the problem much faster.In dealing with many challenges that friendship will bring to you, try to see them for what they are: small hurdles (栏杆) you need to jump or get through on your way through life. Nothing is so big that it is impossible to get over, and hurt only serves to make us stronger. It’s all part of growing up. It happens to everyone, and some day you will look back on all of this and say, “Hard as it was, it made me who I am today. And that is a good thing,”12. What can we infer from the text?A. Friendship needs challenges.B. Challenges shape our challenges.C. Small hurdles aren’t worth the trouble.D. Commitment can form friendship.13. What did the writer suggest when faced with a challenge?A. One should call it quits.B. One should temporarily run away from it.C. One should be committed and communicable.D. One should lay jt aside for a while and ask for others’ help.14. What does the underlined phrase “call it quits” in Paragraph 1 mean?A. Let go of it.B. Get over it,C. Forget about it.D. Put it aside.15. The whole passage is centered on the relationship between ________.A. friendship and challengesB. communication and friendshipC. commitment and communicationD. challenges and the ways to get through第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分, 满分12.5分)Most people will agree that it is good to read, but not all reading is equal.

AGuide to Hiking on the Appalachian TrailHow do I “Leave No Trace on the Appalachian Trail?”At about 2,189 miles, the Appalachian Trail is the longest single unit of the National Park System. With the number of people visiting this place increasing each year, the chances are great that any of us may damage the natural environment along the Trail and affect the experience for others. So please do your part by following these hiking and camping practices, and encourage others to learn about and adopt these techniques.1. Plan ahead and prepare.Evaluate the risks associated with your outing, identify campsites and destinations in advance, and use maps and guides. Prepare for extreme weather, dangers, and emergencies –especially the cold –to avoid impacts from searches, rescues, and campfires. Learn when areas are most crowded and try to avoid those times.2. Dispose of waste properly.Pack out all trash and food waste, including that left behind by others. Don’t bury trash or food, and don’t try to burn packaging materials in campfires. Use the privy (茅房) for human waste only. Do not add trash. If there is no privy, dispose of human waste by burying it in a hole, a hole at least 200 feet (80 steps) from campsites, water sources and shelters, and well away from trails.3. Leave what you find.Leave plants, cultural artifacts (文物) and other natural objects where you found them for others to enjoy. Do not damage live trees or plants; green wood burns poorly. Collect only firewood that is dead, down, and no larger than your wrist. Leave dead standing trees and dead limbs on standing trees for the wildlife.4. Minimize campfire impacts.Use stoves for cooking –if you need a fire, build one only where it’s legal and in an existing fire ring. Keep fires small. Never leave your campfire unattended, and drown it when you leave. Do not try to burn trash, including plastic, glass, cans, tea bags, food, or anything with food on it. These items do not burn thoroughly. They create harmful fumes, and attract wildlife like skunks and bears.5.Respect wildlifeDon’t feed or disturb wildlife. Store food properly to avoid attracting bears, varmints, and rodents. If you bring a pet, keep it leashed.( )1．Before you hike on the Appalachian Trail, you are advised to _______. A．Leave your pet dog at homeB．bring some food for the wildlife thereC．prepare for bad weather and emergenciesD．avoid crowded periods and book a hotel in advance( )2．The underlined phrase “dispose of” probably means _______.A．take care of B．hide awayC．make use of D．get rid of( )3．If you need a fire on the Appalachian Trail, you should _______. A．collect firewood that is larger than your wristB．keep it small and drown it when you go awayC．burn or bury your trash before you leaveD．use it to drive away wildlife like skunks and bear【分析】本文是一篇说明文。
