A satellite terminal（终端） in Shenzhen airport is being built.It is expected to be completed this year and be put into use in 2023.In addition，Guangzhou airport plans to make itself larger by 2025，000﹣square ﹣meter terminal as well as adding 25 additional aircraft parking bays.

（8分）If you are looking for a creative solution to a piece of work or a school assignment，don't lock yourself up in a quiet room.
A new study shows that moderate background noise is a better motivation to creative thinking than the sound of silence，a well﹣known magazine reported.
A paper published in the Journal of Consumer Research says that the perfect working environment should buzz（嗡嗡作响） with a little noise.
Researchers found that test subjects were at their most creative state when background noise was measured a 70 decibels，the level one might find in a busy coffee shop.
A nearly silent environment（50 decibels） was too quiet.Turning up the volume to85 decibels （a jackhammer tearing up the pavement outside your building） had an opposite effect—the noise became a distraction（分散注意力）.
The researchers asked 65 students at the University of British Columbia，Canada，to perform various creative tasks while noises recorded at a roadside restaurant were played in the background.
In one experiment，scientists asked participants to brainstorm ideas for a new type of mattress（气垫）.Test subjects had the most successful discussions when the noise in the background was noticeable but not too loud.
While a quiet environment may make it easier to read a book，the authors of the study say that moderate background noise creates just enough of a distraction to force people to think more imaginatively without breaking their focus so completely that they can't think at all.
Should we all head for Starbucks to get creative？Not necessarily.
Researchers found limited work time surrounded by the low﹣level noise of a coffeehouse is what really stimulates creativity.
Equally，working in a café environment isn't good for everybody.The productivity boost（提高） was most obvious among those who were naturally creative to begin with.
（20）What's the main idea of the passage？
A．The less noise，the better state of study.
B．Noise is no bad thing at any time.
C．Noise in the coffeehouse is enjoyable.
D．Moderate noise helps creativity.
（21）The recommended level of background noise is .
A．50 decibels
B．65 decibels
C．70 decibels
D．85 decibels
（22）The underline word "stimulate" can be replaced by .
A．copy
B．increase
C．link
D．decrease
（23）According to the last three paragraphs， .
A．the low﹣level noise of a coffeehouse may be too loud for people to work with
B．if a person is not a creative type，then background noise is of no help to them
C．a person's own creativity ability is as important as the environment they are in
D．working in a coffeehouse is creative for most people

27．（5分）Today it is common to see people who walk about with colored wires hanging from their ears wherever they go.They move about in their personal bubbles，sometimes unaware of what's happening around them.（1） .Outside life is shut out.So are you one of"them"？
For me，walking around in my own personal bubble is perfect.（2） .What's even better，wearing card phones seems to give a signal to people which say， "I'm not available for chatting at the moment!"
Suppose you're at work and about to make an incredible breakthrough（极大的突破），but a workmate suddenly turns up.At this moment the slightest disturbance（干扰）would break your concentration.（3） .Once again，those wires hanging from your ears would be sure to give that"Go away!"signal.

Pretty soon，not only will we have pretty colored wires hanging from our ears，but also our brains will be directly plugged into（接通）（虚拟的） world，communicating with everyone else，as we like.（5） .And they are changing our social habits along the way.
In the end，there is a thin line between using technology as a tool for making life better and being a slave to it!It's so strange.Suddenly，I don't feel like wearing my card phones anymore.
A.Our instruments are changing quickly
B.I don't have to deal with the noise from the environment

（8分）If you are looking for a creative solution to a piece of work or a school assignment，don't lock yourself up in a quiet room.
A new study shows that moderate background noise is a better motivation to creative thinking than the sound of silence，a well﹣known magazine reported.
A paper published in the Journal of Consumer Research says that the perfect working environment should buzz（嗡嗡作响） with a little noise.
Researchers found that test subjects were at their most creative state when background noise was measured a 70 decibels，the level one might find in a busy coffee shop.
A nearly silent environment（50 decibels） was too quiet.Turning up the volume to85 decibels （a jackhammer tearing up the pavement outside your building） had an opposite effect—the noise became a distraction（分散注意力）.
The researchers asked 65 students at the University of British Columbia，Canada，to perform various creative tasks while noises recorded at a roadside restaurant were played in the background.
In one experiment，scientists asked participants to brainstorm ideas for a new type of mattress（气垫）.Test subjects had the most successful discussions when the noise in the background was noticeable but not too loud.
While a quiet environment may make it easier to read a book，the authors of the study say that moderate background noise creates just enough of a distraction to force people to think more imaginatively without breaking their focus so completely that they can't think at all.
Should we all head for Starbucks to get creative？Not necessarily.
Researchers found limited work time surrounded by the low﹣level noise of a coffeehouse is what really stimulates creativity.
Equally，working in a café environment isn't good for everybody.The productivity boost（提高） was most obvious among those who were naturally creative to begin with.
（20）What's the main idea of the passage？ D
A．The less noise，the better state of study.
B．Noise is no bad thing at any time.
C．Noise in the coffeehouse is enjoyable.
D．Moderate noise helps creativity.
（21）The recommended level of background noise is C .
A．50 decibels
B．65 decibels
C．70 decibels
D．85 decibels
（22）The underline word "stimulate" can be replaced by B .
A．copy
B．increase
C．link
D．decrease
（23）According to the last three paragraphs， B .
A．the low﹣level noise of a coffeehouse may be too loud for people to work with
B．if a person is not a creative type，then background noise is of no help to them
C．a person's own creativity ability is as important as the environment they are in
D．working in a coffeehouse is creative for most people
【解答】（20）主旨大意题。根据第一段If are for a solution a piece work a school ，don't yourself in a room.（如果你正在为一项工作或学校作业寻找创造性的解决方案。）及全文可知文章介绍研究表明。故选D。
（21）细节理解题。根据第四段Researchers that subjects at most state background was at 70 ，the one find a busy shop.（研究人员发现，测试对象处于最具创造力的状态。）可知推荐的背景噪音水平是70分贝。
（22）词义猜测题。根据第十段Researchers limited time by low﹣level of a is really stimulates creativity.（研究人员发现，被咖啡馆的低噪音包围的有限工作时间才是真正____创造力的地方，所以划线词意为"激发"。故选B。
（23）推理判断题。根据最后一段Equally in a environment good everybody.The boost（提高） most among who naturally to with.（同样。效率的提高在那些天生具有创造力的人中最为明显，那么背景噪音对他们没有帮助。

（8分）Still in shock!I moved around the house purposeiessly trying to decide what to put into the suitcases.Earlier that evening，I'd received a call telling me that my brother was killed in a car crash."Come as soon as you can."cried my mother.
I wanted to hurry to her at once.But my husband，Larry，and I were packing to move from New York to Seattle.Our house was in total mess.Supper dishes sat on the kitchen table.Toys lay everywhere.I purposelessly picked things up and put them down.Mother's crying went through my head again and again.
Larry called some friends to tell them what had happened.Someone asked to speak to me."If there's anything I can do，let me know."But I didn't know what to ask for.
Suddenly，the doorbell rang.It was Emerson.He and his wife Donna lived in the block nearby.
"I've come to clean your shoes，"he said.
I asked him to repeat.
"Donna had to stay with the baby，"he said，"but we want to help you.I remember when my father died
I gathered all our dirty shoes to the kitchen.Emerson got to work right away.Watching him devoting himself to one task helped me pull my own thoughts into order.I told myself to wash clothes first.Then，Larry and I bathed the children and put them to bed.One job after another.
When we returned to wash the dishes，Emerson had left.All our shoes stood in a line against the wall，clean，we left for the airport with all the jobs done.
Now whenever I hear of a friend who's lost a loved one，I no longer call with the polite offer，"If there's anything I can do..."Instead，like taking the dog to the boarding kennel（狗屋；养狗场） or house﹣sitting during the funeral（葬礼），"How did you know I needed that one？"I reply，"Because a man once cleaned my shoes."

In one experiment，scientists asked participants to brainstorm ideas for a new type of mattress（气垫）.Test subjects had the most successful discussions when the noise in the background was noticeable but not too loud.
While a quiet environment may make it easier to read a book，the authors of the study say that moderate background noise creates just enough of a distraction to force people to think more imaginatively without breaking their focus so completely that they can't think at all.
Should we all head for Starbucks to get creative？Not necessarily.
Researchers found limited work time surrounded by the low﹣level noise of a coffeehouse is what really stimulates creativity.
Equally，working in a café environment isn't good for everybody.The productivity boost（提高） was most obvious among those who were naturally creative to begin with.
（20）What's the main idea of the passage？
A．The less noise，the better state of study.
B．Noise is no bad thing at any time.
C．Noise in the coffeehouse is enjoyable.
D．Moderate noise helps creativity.

B．65 decibels
C．70 decibels
D．85 decibels
（22）The underline word "stimulate" can be replaced by .

B．increase
C．link
D．decrease
（23）According to the last three paragraphs， .
A．the low﹣level noise of a coffeehouse may be too loud for people to work with
B．if a person is not a creative type，then background noise is of no help to them
C．a person's own creativity ability is as important as the environment they are in

27．（5分）Today it is common to see people who walk about with colored wires hanging from their ears wherever they go.They move about in their personal bubbles，sometimes unaware of what's happening around them.（1） .Outside life is shut out.So are you one of"them"？
For me，walking around in my own personal bubble is perfect.（2） .What's even better，wearing card phones seems to give a signal to people which say， "I'm not available for chatting at the moment!"
Suppose you're at work and about to make an incredible breakthrough（极大的突破），but a workmate suddenly turns up.At this moment the slightest disturbance（干扰）would break your concentration.（3） .Once again，those wires hanging from your ears would be sure to give that"Go away!"signal.

I wanted to hurry to her at once.But my husband，Larry，and I were packing to move from New York to Seattle.Our house was in total mess.Supper dishes sat on the kitchen table.Toys lay everywhere.I purposelessly picked things up and put them down.Mother's crying went through my head again and again.
Larry called some friends to tell them what had happened.Someone asked to speak to me."If there's anything I can do，let me know."But I didn't know what to ask for.
Suddenly，the doorbell rang.It was Emerson.He and his wife Donna lived in the block nearby.
"I've come to clean your shoes，"he said.
I asked him to repeat.
"Donna had to stay with the baby，"he said，"but we want to help you.I remember when my father died
I gathered all our dirty shoes to the kitchen.Emerson got to work right away.Watching him devoting himself to one task helped me pull my own thoughts into order.I told myself to wash clothes first.Then，Larry and I bathed the children and put them to bed.One job after another.
When we returned to wash the dishes，Emerson had left.All our shoes stood in a line against the wall，clean，we left for the airport with all the jobs done.
Now whenever I hear of a friend who's lost a loved one，I no longer call with the polite offer，"If there's anything I can do..."Instead，like taking the dog to the boarding kennel（狗屋；养狗场） or house﹣sitting during the funeral（葬礼），"How did you know I needed that one？"I reply，"Because a man once cleaned my shoes."

（8分）If you are looking for a creative solution to a piece of work or a school assignment，don't lock yourself up in a quiet room.
A new study shows that moderate background noise is a better motivation to creative thinking than the sound of silence，a well﹣known magazine reported.
A paper published in the Journal of Consumer Research says that the perfect working environment should buzz（嗡嗡作响） with a little noise.
Researchers found that test subjects were at their most creative state when background noise was measured a 70 decibels，the level one might find in a busy coffee shop.
A nearly silent environment（50 decibels） was too quiet.Turning up the volume to85 decibels （a jackhammer tearing up the pavement outside your building） had an opposite effect—the noise became a distraction（分散注意力）.
The researchers asked 65 students at the University of British Columbia，Canada，to perform various creative tasks while noises recorded at a roadside restaurant were played in the background.
In one experiment，scientists asked participants to brainstorm ideas for a new type of mattress（气垫）.Test subjects had the most successful discussions when the noise in the background was noticeable but not too loud.
While a quiet environment may make it easier to read a book，the authors of the study say that moderate background noise creates just enough of a distraction to force people to think more imaginatively without breaking their focus so completely that they can't think at all.
Should we all head for Starbucks to get creative？Not necessarily.
Researchers found limited work time surrounded by the low﹣level noise of a coffeehouse is what really stimulates creativity.
Equally，working in a café environment isn't good for everybody.The productivity boost（提高） was most obvious among those who were naturally creative to begin with.
（20）What's the main idea of the passage？ D

B．if a person is not a creative type，then background noise is of no help to them
C．a person's own creativity ability is as important as the environment they are in
