A realtor (房地产经纪人) in Missouri is determined to make her hometown “a city where no one sleeps outside”.
For nine years Linda Brown and her husband David organized a nightly drop-in shelter where homeless people in Springfield could eat, shower, do laundry, use a computer, and socialize during bingo games and karaoke, but they wanted to do more. So they transformed an abandoned (废弃的) mobile home property into a village of tiny homes that provides permanent (永久的) housing to the chronically disabled homeless.
They opened Eden Village in 2018, building 31 tiny homes that are now occupied by people like Jonathan Fisher. He had lived on the streets for two years when he met Linda Brown. “In the worst moments of my life, Linda gave me guidance, care, and made me feel like I was still worth something,” Fisher says. He says that Linda took the time to learn about how he became homeless, and then encouraged him as he rebuilt his life. She even offered him a job. Now Fisher works full-time for Linda, helping others experiencing struggles similar to what he went through.
The driving philosophy (哲学) behind Eden Village is as follows: The root causes of a person’s homelessness cannot be thoroughly addressed until his or her immediate housing needs are met. “When I watched my homeless friends walk into a hidden, wet, and cold camp, I realized I had to do something,” Linda said. “And that made me have the idea to build the tiny-home village that serves as a place where the chronically disabled homeless can live with dignity and self-worth.”
“It needs someone who wants to do something, and then believes they can. I’ve watched Linda Brown live that out,” says Nate Schleuter, the chief visionary officer for Eden Village. “It’s exciting to watch the homeless who thought they’d live the rest of their life on the street now have a home.”
4. What does the underlined word “transformed” mean in Paragraph 2
A. Changed. B. Divided. C. Moved. D. Brought.
5. What did Linda Brown do after Fisher became homeless
A. She provided him with short-lived housing.
B. She offered him a job and encouraged him to rebuild his life.
C. She organized social events for him to attend.
D. She offered him guidance on finding food and clothing.
6. What can we know about the driving philosophy behind Eden Village
A. Every homeless person should be offered a job.
B. We should help the homeless quit some bad habits.
C. Housing is the key to solving the problem of homelessness.
D. Medical treatment should be given to the homeless.
7. What is Nate’s attitude towards Linda according to the last paragraph
A. Respectful. B. Doubtful. C. Worried. D. Friendly.
【答案】4. A 5. B 6. C 7. A
【解析】

【4题详解】
词句猜测题。由文章第二段中“an abandoned (废弃的) mobile home property into a village of tiny homes that provides permanent (永久的) housing to the chronically disabled homeless. (一个废弃的移动房屋成一个微型房屋村，为长期残疾的无家可归者提供永久性住房。)”可知，他们把废弃房屋改造成微型房屋。A. Changed更改；B. Divided分割；C. Moved感动；D. Brought带来。故选A。

【6题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第四段中“The driving philosophy (哲学) behind Eden Village is as follows: The root causes of a person’s homelessness cannot be thoroughly addressed until his or her immediate housing needs are met. (伊甸村背后的驱动理念是这样的：一个人无家可归的根本原因不能得到彻底解决，除非他或她的住房需求得到满足。)”可知，伊甸村背后的驱动理念是住房是解决无家可归问题的关键。故选C。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。由文章最后一段中““It needs someone who wants to do something, and then believes they can. I’ve watched Linda Brown live that out,” says Nate Schleuter, the chief visionary officer for Eden Village. “It’s exciting to watch the homeless who thought they’d live the rest of their life on the street now have a home.”(“它需要有人想做点什么，然后相信自己能做到。伊甸村首席梦想官内特·施勒特说:“我见证了琳达·布朗的生活。”“看到那些认为自己将在街上度过余生的无家可归者现在有了家，真是令人兴奋。”)”可知，内特对琳达的态度是恭敬的。故选A。

A middle school teacher says, “Math is a language, and language is important in the study of math.” Finally, someone gets it. While high school students are afraid of learning Euler’s Theorem and reading Shakespeare, math and English have long been ranked as the most valuable subjects to learn. However, both of these subjects have long been ranked as the least favorite subjects of high school students.
There is a strong support for teaching our youth “critical thinking and communication”. And what are the subjects that most effectively teach these skills Math and English. By traditional definition, math would teach you critical thinking, and English would teach you communication. But today, I’d like to argue that English can teach you critical thinking, and that math can teach you communication.
When we think of math as a language, we see that math is an expression of communication. If a person in China writes a letter in Chinese to a person in the USA, it is almost sure that the American will not be able to read it. But if, instead, he sends a simple mathematical equation with its solution, it is almost certain that the American will be able to most probably “read” it. That’s communication! That’s using numbers to replace ideas.
And English can provide critical thinking skills. For example, we can look at the alphabet and our system of grammar. We assemble (集合) the letters in different ways to express our thoughts and ideas. This process requires a lot of critical thinking; in order to solve the problem of the world around us, we must arrange and understand the constants (常量) around us to create a thousand different definitions of our reality.
Math is a language, and language is a math. It’s just seeing this truth that may be the tricky part.
8. What do you think is Euler
A. A musician. B. An artist. C. A writer. D. A mathematician.
9. What can be inferred from Paragraph 2
A. The traditional idea about math and English is challenged.
B. It is traditionally believed that math can teach us critical thinking.
C. The author doesn’t agree that English can teach us communication.
D. Math and English can most effectively teach critical thinking.
10. How is Paragraph 3 developed
A. By describing a process. B. By giving examples.
C. By analyzing causes. D. By offering explanations.
11. Where is this text most likely from
A. A science paper. B. A medical report.
C. A language website. D. An education magazine.
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. B 11. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了如今传统的数学和英语观念受到了挑战，指出数学是一门语言，语言是一门数学。当我们把数学看作一种语言时，我们看到数学是一种交流的表达，英语也可以提供批判性思维技能。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“While high school students are afraid of learning Euler’s Theorem and reading Shakespeare, math and English have long been ranked as the most valuable subjects to learn.(当高中生们害怕学习欧拉定理和阅读莎士比亚时，数学和英语一直被列为最值得学习的科目)”可知，欧拉是一名数学家。故选D。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“By traditional definition, math would teach you critical thinking, and English would teach you communication. But today, I’d like to argue that English can teach you critical thinking, and that math can teach you communication.(按照传统的定义，数学教你批判性思维，英语教你沟通。但是今天，我想说的是，英语可以教你批判性思维，数学可以教你沟通)”可推知，传统的数学和英语观念受到了挑战。故选A。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“When we think of math as a language, we see that math is an expression of communication. If a person in China writes a letter in Chinese to a person in the USA, it is almost sure that the American will not be able to read it. But if, instead, he sends a simple mathematical equation with its solution, it is almost certain that the American will be able to most probably “read” it. That’s communication! That’s using numbers to replace ideas.(当我们把数学看作一种语言时，我们看到数学是一种交流的表达。如果一个中国人用中文给一个美国人写信，几乎可以肯定美国人看不懂。但是，如果他发送一个简单的数学方程和它的解，几乎可以肯定的是，美国人很可能能够“读懂”它。这就是沟通！那就是用数字代替想法)”可推知，第三段通过举例展开。故选B。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“A middle school teacher says, “Math is a language, and language is important in the study of math.” Finally, someone gets it. While high school students are afraid of learning Euler’s Theorem and reading Shakespeare, math and English have long been ranked as the most valuable subjects to learn. However, both of these subjects have long been ranked as the least favorite subjects of high school students.(一位中学老师说:“数学是一种语言，而语言在数学学习中很重要。”终于有人明白了。当高中生们害怕学习欧拉定理和阅读莎士比亚时，数学和英语一直被列为最值得学习的科目。然而，这两门学科长期以来一直被列为高中生最不喜欢的学科)”结合文章主要说明了如今传统的数学和英语观念受到了挑战，指出数学是一门语言，语言是一门数学。当我们把数学看作一种语言时，我们看到数学是一种交流的表达，英语也可以提供批判性思维技能。可推知，文章可能选自一本教育杂志。故选D。
D
Tokyo, with around 37 million people calling it their home, is the world’s most populated city which means it has the most people living in it. About 120 million people in total live in the country of Japan, which means that nearly a third of the country lives in one area.
The Japanese government is offering money to families to move away from the city Tokyo. The scheme (方案) aims to encourage young people to move to less popular villages and towns around the edge s of the city. The scheme has been running for the last three years, but the government has recently announced that it is increasing the amount of money it is offering to 1 million yen per child. To be able to claim the money, however, families must move outside the greater Tokyo area, live in their new homes for at least five years and one person must be in work or plan to open a new business.
Japanese officials hope that the offer will encourage families with children aged up to 18 to bring life to villages. This will help ease some of the pressure on space and public services in the center of Tokyo. They hope around 10,000 people will move from Tokyo to the countryside around it by 2027.
There is, in fact, a growing trend of young Tokyo-dwellers (居民) who want to leave behind urban life in the city to move to smaller, cheaper, and quieter parts of Japan. The small ski town of Niseko in Hokkaido is also enjoying a small increase in population, thanks to an explosion of interest overseas in Japan’s ski slopes. But with Japan’s vast government bureaucracy, its top schools, as well as companies all concentrated in Tokyo, escaping the capital looks set to remain a day dream for most.
12. What problem is Tokyo involved in at present
A. Tough business environment. B. A lack of foreign tourists.
C. A too large population. D. High housing costs.
13. Why is the government improving the previous scheme
A. To help poor families go to cities.
B. To let children receive better education.
C. To urge the youth to leave their families.
D. To encourage more people to leave Tokyo.
14. What can be expected of the population migration project
A. It might be a failure. B. It will be a growing trend.
C. It will bring success to businesses. D. It will benefit government sectors.
15. Which is the most suitable title for the text
A. Tokyo is an attractive city
B. Tokyo has too many cars
C. Japan pays to solve a population issue
D. Japan faces the problem of low birth rate
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. A 15. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了日本政府希望通过提供资金的方式解决东京人口拥挤的问题及可能面临的结果。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段第一句“Tokyo, with around 37 million people calling it their home, is the world’s most populated city which means it has the most people living in it.”（东京有大约3700万人口，是世界上人口最多的城市，这意味着它拥有最多的人口。）可知，东京面临人口拥挤的问题。故选C项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段后两句“The scheme has been running for the last three years, but the government has recently announced that it is increasing the amount of money it is offering to 1 million yen per child. To be able to claim the money, however, families must move outside the greater Tokyo area, live in their new homes for at least five years and one person must be in work or plan to open a new business.”（该计划已经实施了三年，但日本政府最近宣布，将把每个孩子的资助金额提高到100万日元。然而，要申请这笔钱，家庭必须搬到大东京地区以外，在新房子里居住至少五年，其中一人必须在职或计划开一家新公司。）可知，政府提高补助是为了鼓励更多人搬离东京。故选D项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段最后一句“But with Japan’s vast government bureaucracy, its top schools, as well as companies all concentrated in Tokyo, escaping the capital looks set to remain a day dream for most.”（但由于日本庞大的政府官僚机构、顶尖学校和企业都集中在东京，逃离首都似乎仍将是大多数人的白日梦。）可知，由于资源都集中在东京，所以大多数人可能并不情愿离开东京，意味着政府的人口迁移计划可能会遭遇失败。故选A项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段第一句“Tokyo, with around 37 million people calling it their home, is the world’s most populated city which means it has the most people living in it.”（东京有大约3700万人口，是世界上人口最多的城市，这意味着它拥有最多的人口。）及第二段第一句“The Japanese government is offering money to families to move away from the city Tokyo.”（日本政府向搬离东京的家庭提供资金。）并结合下文对政策的具体介绍及其结果可知，本文主要说明了日本政府希望通过提供资金的方式解决东京人口拥挤的问题。故选C项。

·There’s a party every night
___17___. And for some, that’s what university is. But if you’re not the partying type, university offers you a lot of freedom and autonomy to make your own choices. And at the end of the day, to stay a university student, you need to make the grade.
·___18___
You may think that first year is light-hearted because you’re taking all introductory courses. Unfortunately, this is not the case for most students. You may have fewer class hours and more free time in university, but you’ll quickly realize that this free time is in fact time you need to prepare for the next day’s classes or work on an assignment.
·University is all work, work, work
Maybe you’re worried about the opposite and are afraid that university will be constant late nights filled with schoolwork. If you manage your time wisely, you’ll have time to do the things you really enjoy. ___19___.
·Everyone graduates in four years
You might think that because an honours bachelor’s degree in Canada is a four-year program, everyone must finish in four years. ___20___. A study from the US National Center for Education Statistics found that only 41% of students graduated within four years.
A. That’s not always the case, though
B. I don’t need to work hard in my first year
C. Here are some misunderstandings about college
D. I’m on my own when it comes to my academics
E. And I’d like to offer some tips about college life to freshmen

【17题详解】
本段主旨“There’s a party every night (每晚都有派对)”说明的是有关派对的事情，因此F项“好莱坞电影让大学看起来像一场无休止的聚会”符合语境，故选F。
【18题详解】
下文“You may think that first year is light-hearted because you’re taking all introductory courses. (你可能认为第一年很轻松，因为你要上所有的入门课程)”说明的是有关第一年的情况的误解，因此B项“第一年不需要努力”符合本段主旨，故选B。
【19题详解】
上文“If you manage your time wisely, you’ll have time to do the things you really enjoy. (如果你明智地管理你的时间，你会有时间做你真正喜欢的事情。)”说明的是自己喜欢做的事情，空格处是举例，因此G项“这可能是和朋友出去玩，锻炼，或者参加俱乐部”符合语境，故选G。
【20题详解】
上文“You might think that because an honours bachelor’s degree in Canada is a four-year program, everyone must finish in four years.

A realtor (房地产经纪人) in Missouri is determined to make her hometown “a city where no one sleeps outside”.
For nine years Linda Brown and her husband David organized a nightly drop-in shelter where homeless people in Springfield could eat, shower, do laundry, use a computer, and socialize during bingo games and karaoke, but they wanted to do more. So they transformed an abandoned (废弃的) mobile home property into a village of tiny homes that provides permanent (永久的) housing to the chronically disabled homeless.
They opened Eden Village in 2018, building 31 tiny homes that are now occupied by people like Jonathan Fisher. He had lived on the streets for two years when he met Linda Brown. “In the worst moments of my life, Linda gave me guidance, care, and made me feel like I was still worth something,” Fisher says. He says that Linda took the time to learn about how he became homeless, and then encouraged him as he rebuilt his life. She even offered him a job. Now Fisher works full-time for Linda, helping others experiencing struggles similar to what he went through.
The driving philosophy (哲学) behind Eden Village is as follows: The root causes of a person’s homelessness cannot be thoroughly addressed until his or her immediate housing needs are met. “When I watched my homeless friends walk into a hidden, wet, and cold camp, I realized I had to do something,” Linda said. “And that made me have the idea to build the tiny-home village that serves as a place where the chronically disabled homeless can live with dignity and self-worth.”
“It needs someone who wants to do something, and then believes they can. I’ve watched Linda Brown live that out,” says Nate Schleuter, the chief visionary officer for Eden Village. “It’s exciting to watch the homeless who thought they’d live the rest of their life on the street now have a home.”
4. What does the underlined word “transformed” mean in Paragraph 2
A. Changed. B. Divided. C. Moved. D. Brought.
5. What did Linda Brown do after Fisher became homeless
A. She provided him with short-lived housing.
B. She offered him a job and encouraged him to rebuild his life.
C. She organized social events for him to attend.
D. She offered him guidance on finding food and clothing.
6. What can we know about the driving philosophy behind Eden Village
A. Every homeless person should be offered a job.
B. We should help the homeless quit some bad habits.
C. Housing is the key to solving the problem of homelessness.
D. Medical treatment should be given to the homeless.
7. What is Nate’s attitude towards Linda according to the last paragraph
A. Respectful. B. Doubtful. C. Worried. D. Friendly.
C
A middle school teacher says, “Math is a language, and language is important in the study of math.” Finally, someone gets it. While high school students are afraid of learning Euler’s Theorem and reading Shakespeare, math and English have long been ranked as the most valuable subjects to learn. However, both of these subjects have long been ranked as the least favorite subjects of high school students.
There is a strong support for teaching our youth “critical thinking and communication”. And what are the subjects that most effectively teach these skills Math and English. By traditional definition, math would teach you critical thinking, and English would teach you communication. But today, I’d like to argue that English can teach you critical thinking, and that math can teach you communication.
When we think of math as a language, we see that math is an expression of communication. If a person in China writes a letter in Chinese to a person in the USA, it is almost sure that the American will not be able to read it. But if, instead, he sends a simple mathematical equation with its solution, it is almost certain that the American will be able to most probably “read” it. That’s communication! That’s using numbers to replace ideas.
And English can provide critical thinking skills. For example, we can look at the alphabet and our system of grammar. We assemble (集合) the letters in different ways to express our thoughts and ideas. This process requires a lot of critical thinking; in order to solve the problem of the world around us, we must arrange and understand the constants (常量) around us to create a thousand different definitions of our reality.
Math is a language, and language is a math. It’s just seeing this truth that may be the tricky part.
8. What do you think is Euler
A. A musician. B. An artist. C. A writer. D. A mathematician.
9. What can be inferred from Paragraph 2
A. The traditional idea about math and English is challenged.
B. It is traditionally believed that math can teach us critical thinking.
C. The author doesn’t agree that English can teach us communication.
D. Math and English can most effectively teach critical thinking.
10. How is Paragraph 3 developed
A. By describing a process. B. By giving examples.
C. By analyzing causes. D. By offering explanations.
11. Where is this text most likely from
A. A science paper. B. A medical report.
C. A language website. D. An education magazine.
D
Tokyo, with around 37 million people calling it their home, is the world’s most populated city which means it has the most people living in it. About 120 million people in total live in the country of Japan, which means that nearly a third of the country lives in one area.
The Japanese government is offering money to families to move away from the city Tokyo. The scheme (方案) aims to encourage young people to move to less popular villages and towns around the edge s of the city. The scheme has been running for the last three years, but the government has recently announced that it is increasing the amount of money it is offering to 1 million yen per child. To be able to claim the money, however, families must move outside the greater Tokyo area, live in their new homes for at least five years and one person must be in work or plan to open a new business.
Japanese officials hope that the offer will encourage families with children aged up to 18 to bring life to villages. This will help ease some of the pressure on space and public services in the center of Tokyo. They hope around 10,000 people will move from Tokyo to the countryside around it by 2027.
There is, in fact, a growing trend of young Tokyo-dwellers (居民) who want to leave behind urban life in the city to move to smaller, cheaper, and quieter parts of Japan. The small ski town of Niseko in Hokkaido is also enjoying a small increase in population, thanks to an explosion of interest overseas in Japan’s ski slopes. But with Japan’s vast government bureaucracy, its top schools, as well as companies all concentrated in Tokyo, escaping the capital looks set to remain a day dream for most.
12. What problem is Tokyo involved in at present
A Tough business environment. B. A lack of foreign tourists.
C A too large population. D. High housing costs.
13. Why is the government improving the previous scheme
A. To help poor families go to cities.
B. To let children receive better education.
C. To urge the youth to leave their families.
D. To encourage more people to leave Tokyo.
14. What can be expected of the population migration project
A. It might be a failure. B. It will be a growing trend.
C. It will bring success to businesses. D. It will benefit government sectors.
15. Which is the most suitable title for the text
A. Tokyo is an attractive city
B. Tokyo has too many cars
C. Japan pays to solve a population issue
D. Japan faces the problem of low birth rate
