Nowadays many students have formed the habit of wasting things．For example, some leave the lights on in the daytime, or let water running after washing．
In my opinion, the above bad habits will have a bad influence on our character training．They not only increase our cost at school and add financial burden to our parents, but also waste the limited resources．
Therefore, it's high time that we dealt with this problem．And above all, we should start with ourselves and take the lead in reducing the waste．
[片段1]
The rain was pouring down, and Mary was shivering in her thin coat．She had been walking for hours, trying to find her way home．But every turn she took seemed to lead her further into the unknown．Her heart was filled with fear and confusion．Just as she was about to give up hope, she saw a small cottage in the distance．With a glimmer of hope, she rushed towards it, only to find the door locked．Tears streamed down her face as she slumped against the door, feeling defeated．
雨倾盆而下，玛丽穿着单薄的外套瑟瑟发抖。她已经走了好几个小时，试图找到回家的路。但她转的每一个弯似乎都将她进一步带到了未知的地方。她的心中充满了恐惧和困惑。就在她即将放弃希望的时候，她看到远处有一间小木屋。怀着一线希望，她冲向它，却发现门是锁着的。泪水顺着她的脸颊流下来，她瘫倒在门边，感到很挫败。

杰克一直梦想成为一名著名的音乐家。他花费了无数个小时练习吉他，牺牲了自己的社交生活和睡眠时间。然而，他的父母强烈反对他的选择，坚持要他专注于找一份稳定的工作。有一天，杰克收到了在一个著名音乐活动中表演的邀请。他欣喜若狂，但知道他的父母会不高兴。当他把这个消息告诉他们时，一场激烈的争论随之而来。他的父母指责他不负责任，而他指责他们不理解他的热情。

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Architectural Wonders Inspired by Nature
Atomium: Brussels
Originally constructed for the 1958 World's Fair, or Expo 58, this weird(古怪的) building features nine interconnected spheres(球体) measuring 335 feet high．Engineer Andre Waterkeyn and architects Andre and Jean Polak modeled it after an iron crystal enlarged 165 billion times to represent faith in scientific progress．Today the interior is home to a museum and several temporary exhibits．
The Cube Houses: Rotterdam
Despite all the hard angles and straight lines, architect Piet Blom actually took inspiration from a forest of trees when designing these Dutch houses back in 1977．Each bright yellow cube is tilted(倾斜的) on its side by 45 degrees and anchored to a hexagon-shaped pylon (六边形塔架), representing a tree．The entrance to each three-level house lies inside the concrete “trunk” that contains a staircase．
Taipei 101: Taipei
Standing at 1，671 feet tall, this 101-story skyscraper was the tallest building in the world when it opened in Taipei's modern Xinyi District in 2004．Renowned architect C．Y．Lee modeled it after a bamboo stalk, and its repetitive sections are full of symbolism．There are a total of eight parts comprised of eight floors each—a lucky number in Chinese culture．
Helix Bridge: Singapore
An international team, assembled from Architects 61 in Singapore, designed this footbridge stretching over Marina Bay, linking the famous hotel and shopping center with the ArtScience Museum and Gardens by the Bay．The inspiration comes from the double helix(螺旋的) structure of a DNA molecule．Opened in 2010, the 919-foot long curved structure has five viewing platforms, giving pedestrians spectacular views of the skyline from across the waterfront．

We have two daughters: Kirsten is seven years old and Kelly is four．Last Sunday evening, we invited some people home for dinner．I dressed them nicely for the party, and told them that their job was to join me in answering the door when the bell rang．I would introduce them to the guests, and then they would take the guests' coats upstairs and put them on the bed in the second bedroom．
The guests arrived．I introduced my two daughters to each of them．The adults were nice and kind and said how lucky we were to have such good kids．
Each of the guests made a particular fuss over Kelly, the younger one, admiring her dress, her hair and her smile．They said she was a remarkable girl to be carrying coats upstairs at her age．
I thought to myself that we adults usually make a big “to do” over the younger child because he/she is the one who seems more easily to be hurt．We do it with the best intention．
But we seldom think of how it might affect the other child．I was a little worried that Kirsten would feel she was being outshone．I was about to serve dinner when I realized that she had been missing for twenty minutes．I ran upstairs and found her in the bedroom, crying．
I said, “What are you doing, my dear？”
She turned to me with a sad expression and said, “Mommy, why don't people like me the way they like my sister Is it because I'm not pretty Is that why they don't say nice things about me？”
I tried to explain to her, kissing and hugging her to make her feel better．
Now, whenever I visit a friend's home, I make a point of speaking to the elder child first．

7．What can we conclude from the passage
A．Parents should pay more attention to the elder children．
B．The younger children are usually more easily hurt．
C．People usually like the elder children more．
D．Adults should treat children equally．
C
I've never had a great sense of direction．And I often wander into shops and, upon coming back out, can't remember which way I've come from—left or right Many people are like me, and why do some constantly have no idea where they are
The hippocampus(海马体) is a region of the brain associated with memory and involved in a sense of direction．And a nearby region has also been associated with the sense of direction．There are four known types of navigation-related neurons(神经元), found in these regions：place cells, grid cells, border cells and head direction cells．
In short, you can think of place cells as an internal cognitive(认知的) map; they identify where you are．Grid cells are like a GPS system in our brain; they tell us about the relationship of this place to other places we've been to．Border cells respond to the presence of environmental boundaries at a specific direction and distance from us．Lastly, head direction cells are activated when our head faces a specific direction．These cells will fire electrical impulses when we enter familiar locations, with each group of cells relating to a specific place．
Our reliance on GPS and smartphones may have decreased the ability to use our internal maps．Older adults who regularly used GPS had less activity in their hippocampus, compared with those who did not use GPS．They also performed slightly worse in a cognition test．In contrast, a study involving London taxi drivers found they had significantly larger hippocampus than ordinary people．
You can improve your way-finding ability specifically by practicing the skill, according to Aziz, PhD of neurology at Temple University School of Medicine．“The more you get out and go to places, the better，” he says．Physical exercise improves the blood flow to the brain, while mental exercise, such as doing puzzles or learning a new language, stimulates the development of new nerve cells and connections in your brain．

Imagine you need milk, so you go to the grocery store to pick some up, only to find there are dozens of options．These days, you have to make a decision on not only the percentage of fat you want, but also what source you want your milk to be coming from: cows, soybeans...You have no idea what milk to pick．There are so many choices that you are confused．
This phenomenon is known as the paradox(悖论) of choice and it is becoming a concern in the modern world, where more and more options are becoming easily available to us．While we might believe that being presented with multiple options actually makes it easier to choose one that we are happy with, and thus increases consumer satisfaction, having too many options actually requires more effort to make a decision and can leave us feeling unsatisfied with our choice．
The idea was popularized by American psychologist Barry Schwartz when he published his book, The Paradox of Choice: Why More Is Less．Schwartz, who has long studied the ways in which economics and psychology intersect(交叉), became interested in seeing the way that choices were affecting the happiness of citizens in Western societies．He identified that the range of choices that we have available to us these days is far greater than that people had in the past; however, consumer satisfaction has not increased as much as traditional economics theories might expect．
Schwartz identified that the paradox of choice carries the most consequences for people that are maximizers．Maximizers, unlike satisficers, are concerned with making the best choice instead of simply making a choice that they are happy with．When there are many options available to maximizers, it becomes harder for them to determine which is the best, which can cause them to feel a great deal of regret after they have made a choice．
Instead of believing that freedom of choice is unlimited, Schwartz advocates that the role of psychology and behavioral economics should be to find the kind of limitations on freedom that can lead to the greatest level of happiness within society．
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇议论文。 文章主要介绍了“选择悖论”这一现象，即过多的选择会让人们感到困惑和不满，从而降低消费者的满意度。文章还介绍了“最大化者”和“满足者”的区别以及心理学和行为经济学在解决这一问题中的作用。
12．What's the author's purpose of mentioning buying milk in paragraph 1
A．To lead in the topic．
B．To draw a conclusion．
C．To show that we have more choices when shopping．
D．To indicate that people pay greater attention to health when shopping．
√
A [推理判断题。根据第一段的“Imagine you need milk, so you go to the grocery store to pick some up, only to find there are dozens of options．”以及“You have no idea what milk to pick．There are so many choices that you are confused．”可知，购物时牛奶品类众多，以至于我们会很难做出决策。这是下文“选择悖论”这一现象的一个案例。由此可推知，文章第一段提到买牛奶就是为了引出文章的话题。故选A。]
13．What does the paradox of choice suggest
A．More options mean less satisfaction．
B．Consumer satisfaction has greatly increased．
C．People are happy with more choices．
D．Modern people are happier than their ancestors．
√
A [推理判断题。根据第二段的“While we might believe that being presented with multiple options actually makes it easier to choose one that we are happy with, and thus increases consumer satisfaction, having too many options actually requires more effort to make a decision and can leave us feeling unsatisfied with our choice．”可知，选择太多实际上需要付出更多的努力才能做出决定，这会让我们对自己的选择感到不满意。由此可推知，更多的选择意味着更少的满足感。故选A。]
14．What can be learned about satisficers
A．They aim for the very best．
B．They tend to follow their feelings．
C．They often regret their decisions．
D．They have trouble making a decision．
√

15．What does Schwartz suggest people do
A．Hold on to their beliefs． B．Accept their own behavior．
C．Give up freedom． D．Limit their own choices．
√
D [细节理解题。根据最后一段“Instead of believing that freedom of choice is unlimited, Schwartz advocates that the role of psychology and behavioral economics should be to find the kind of limitations on freedom that can lead to the greatest level of happiness within society．”可知，施瓦茨建议人们限制自己的选择。故选D。]

36．began [考查时态。由前面的found可知，句子描述过去的事情，时态用一般过去时，空格处用过去式。故填began。]
37．As [考查非限制性定语从句。空格处引导的是非限制性定语从句，从句中缺少宾语，句子表示“正如你想象的一样”，因此空格处用as引导非限制性定语从句，且位于句首，单词首字母大写。故填As。]
38．to recreate [考查非谓语动词。make an attempt to do sth．是固定短语，意为“尝试做某事”，因此空格处是不定式to recreate。故填to recreate。]
39．was established [考查时态、语态和主谓一致。团队是被成立，由in 2006可知，句子描述过去的事情，因此空格处用一般过去时的被动语态，且主语His early team是单数，因此空格处是was established。故填was established。]
40．exhibitions [考查名词复数。根据语境可知，句子表示“团队与中国国家博物馆、山东博物馆等知名机构合作，参加了许多中国古代服饰的展览”，空前有many，且exhibition为可数名词，空格处用复数。故填exhibitions。]
41．promoting [考查非谓语动词。in是介词，其后跟动词-ing形式作宾语，因此空格处是promoting。故填promoting。]

43．significance [考查词性转换。空前有its，空格处用名词，significant的名词形式是significance，意为“意义”，是不可数名词。故填significance。]
44．biggest [考查形容词最高级。根据语境可知，句子表示“他最大的梦想是通过将这些服装重新诠释和改造成适合现代社会的创意设计来分享这些服装的美”，空格处意为“最大的”，用最高级形式biggest。故填biggest。]

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I had been going through some difficult times not so long ago dealing with the pressures of growing up and trying to communicate with my parents, particularly my mother．Our relationship had suffered because of this．When I got angry, it seemed like we would end up fighting with each other and not talk about what we were really feeling．Luckily, I have solved those problems now after we had a heart-to-heart “talk”．
A while back I ran away from home so that I could be far enough away to cool down．I stayed away for many hours, well into the night, before I finally decided to return home．When I walked through the front door, I immediately saw all the pain, anger and disappointment on my parents' faces, especially my mother's．For days to come, my mom and I experienced a lot of suffering．Everything we did or said was filled with tension until we were unable to control our feelings．We knew we badly needed to have a talk．We agreed to have breakfast together the next morning．That morning will remain fresh in my memory forever．It was a turning point．
We decided to go to a local café．On our way to the table, I noticed that my mother had two notebooks and some pens．I asked her what they were for．She explained to me that sometimes it was easier to write down our feelings rather than try to talk about them．She then handed me one notebook and she kept the other．The rules for that talk were that she would pick a topic, and we would write down our feelings, and then exchange our notebooks．It could be as long or as short as we wanted．
注意：1．续写词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式作答。
Our first topic was: “Why I am so angry．”_________________

[参考范文]
Our first topic was: “Why I am so angry．” I wrote a half page, and my mom filled up nearly three pages．I watched tears roll down her face as she wrote．I never realized anyone could hide so much anger．It could have been because I never paid much attention to that, either．Sometimes we think we are the only ones with problems, but I was reminded that morning that other people can be hurting just as much．
We exchanged our notebooks and read the words．As soon as I started reading my mother's words, I began to cry and so did she．Amazingly enough, it felt like all my anger slowly faded．Our talk helped me realize so many things I had never thought of before, not only about anger but also about love．We knew we loved each other dearly．Since then, our notebooks have been a safe place to express it．Now, we live a healthy life full of peace and love．
THANKS
