三、阅读理解
On a farm in England, Gavin and Alice Munro are taking sustainability to the next level: they harvest trees which they grow into chairs.
The couple have a furniture(家具) farm in Derbyshire where they are growing 250 chairs and 50 tables. It is their answer to what they see as the inefficient(效率低的) process of cutting down mature trees to create furniture.
"Instead of growing a tree for 50 years and then cutting it down and making it into smaller and smaller bits... the idea is to grow the tree into the shape that you want directly. It's like a kind of 3D printing," said Gavin.
Part of the inspiration for the idea came when Gavin was a young boy. He found an overgrown bonsai tree(盆景树) which looked like a chair.
The 44-year-old man began experimenting in 2006. In 2012, Cavin and Alice set up the company Full Grown. Within several years, the couple developed the most effective way to shape a tree without limiting its growth. They guide shoots(新枝) heading in the right direction, rather than forcing them the wrong way against their natural growth.
The average chair takes six to nine years to grow and another year to dry out. The labor and time involved in producing the organic pieces mean they do not come cheap. Chairs sell for 10,000 each and tables for 2,500 to 12,500.
1.What is special about the farm
A.3D printing is used. B.Bonsai trees grow there.
C.It was set up by a couple. D.Trees can grow into furniture.
2.How do the couple shape a tree
A.By limiting its growth. B.By following its natural growth.
C.By forcing it against its natural growth. D.By guiding its shoots in the right direction.
3.How long does it take to make an average chair for the company
A.Over 50 years. B.6 to 9 years.
C.6 years at most. D.7 to 10 years.
4.What does the writer's opinion on the farm
A.It has brought in huge amounts of money. B.Trees grow there inefficiently.
C.It's a good try of sustainability. D.It will gain popularity soon.

答案以及解析
一、
1.答案：desperate
2.答案：chorus
3.答案：genius
4.答案：abandon
5.答案：possess
二、
6.答案：be abandoned
解析：句意为: 我希望运动日可以被取消, 取而代之的是别的一些不那么有竞技性的活动。abandon是及物动词, 此处作宾语从句的谓语, sports day与abandon之间是被动关系, 故此处要用被动语态。
7.答案：remarkably
解析：句意为: 就车龄而论, 这辆车的状况好极了。该空需要填副词修饰形容词good, 此处remarkably意为"非常, 极为"。
8.答案：depression
解析：句意为: 裁员消息宣布时, 办公室里有一种忧郁和沮丧的气氛。and连接并列成分作of的宾语, 因此设空处应填名词。
9.答案：surroundings
10.答案：third
三、
答案：1-4.DDDC
解析：本文是一篇说明文,讲述了英格兰德比郡的一对夫妇经营着一个家具农场,可以让树木直接长成家具。
1.细节理解题。根据第一段中的"they harvest trees which they grow into chairs"和第二段中的"The couple have a furniture farm in Derbyshire where they are growing 250 chairs and 50 tables."可知,这个农场的特别之处是树木可以直接长成家具,故D项正确。
2.细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的"Within several years, the couple developed the most effective way to shape a tree without limiting its growth. They guide shoots heading in the right direction"可知,他们通过引导新枝朝着正确的方向生长,从而让树长成一定的形状,故D项正确。
3.细节理解题。根据最后一段中的"The average chair takes six to nine years to grow and another year to dry out."可知,平均每张椅子需要长6到9年,另外需要一年干燥期,也就是说生产一张椅子需要7到10年的时间,故D项正确。
4.观点态度题。通读全文内容,再结合第一段中的"On a farm in England, Gavin and Alice Munro are taking sustainability to the next level"可推知,作者认为这个家具农场是可持续发展的一个很好的尝试,故C项正确。

答案：
Dear Peter,
How's it going I'm glad you asked me about the characteristics of Chinese classical music and the instruments with which it is played.
Chinese classical music is really fascinating. Firstly, just as Chinese characters, the same pronunciation with different tunes will convey different meanings. Secondly, it is closely connected with Chinese poetry, so those famous pieces often come with a poetic title. As for the classical instruments, we prefer to use the erhu, Chinese lute and Chinese zither. If you like them, you can learn to play them.
Looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
Li Hua
