For more than a decade, Nancy Richards Fares e has been taking heartwarming photos of children around the world. Throughout her travels, the American photographer has noticed a common characteristic(特点) that seems to go beyond cultures. "They play no matter what's going on," she said on a video call.
When Nancy Richards Farese visited Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh, she took photos of the poor children there. Among the hardship, children played with what they made for themselves. They blew pinwheels(玩具风车) and pulled a water bottle as a toy with wheels and an old rope. She said, "The other adults and I had a thought of the seriousness of this situation. We were sorry they were in a difficult situation. However, the kids were actually doing something, quite naturally, to help themselves feel good."
Farese's new book brings together almost 100 photos she has shot while examining children's play across 14 countries. Her young subjects(年轻受试者) play chess in Jordan and in Cuba; they jump, laugh and run; they kick and throw balls, climb and jump ropes. Dolls and kites often appear. Many games are seemingly global.
The photographer said, "We sometimes pay no attention to the importance of playing, but when you talk to scientists, they will say it is one of the most fundamental (基本的) things we ever do in our lives. It is something we were born with. It helps shape our ideas and other characteristics. It's just interesting to realize that our abilities to work together, to understand tolerance(容忍) are just simple developmental sides that we practice in a game. And they are so important."
"We move through the world everyday with this treasure. We should allow ourselves to play as a regular practice—to be creative, to set aside even five minutes every day as a time when we're in nature," she added.
4．How did the poor children in Cox's Bazar make themselves feel good
A．By taking pictures.
B．By making their own toys to play with.
C．By asking the adults for help.
D．By making video calls.
5．What does the photographer think of playing in the growth of children
A．Creative. B．Difficult. C．Natural. D．Useless.
6．What does Farese advise us to do
A．Spend time playing and relaxing ourselves.
B．Allow children to play in nature.
C．Think of some special ways to play.
D．Play with the children.
7．In which of the following can we most probably find this text
A．A diary. B．A history book.
C．A travel guide. D．A magazine.
【答案】4．B
5．C
6．A
7．D

When you hear the word "birthmark", you probably think of one of those black or brown spots that you have on your body. For me, it's different—I have them on my lips and inside my mouth. I'm used to being asked, "What are those black marks on your lips " When I tell people they're birthmarks, they usually say, "That's strange." I used to consider them ugly. However, my mom calls them beauty marks
In pictures, I used to hide my birthmarks by pursing(噘起) my lips so I wouldn't have to deal with people's questions. As I was growing up, people wore me out with them. Some people would ask me the same questions even before knowing my name. In society I feel like we judge people by their looks before their personality.
My birthmarks are caused by a genetic condition from my mom's side of the family. My mom's mom has birthmarks on her lips, and my mom's uncle and my uncle have some on their bodies. Every year I plan to have a procedure to remove them. But when imagining the process, I always get nervous and give up.
My cousin faces a similar challenge. She has a huge birthmark that takes up her whole arm. She's never tried to hide it or change her appearance. Once, her grandmother told her that the birthmark looked extremely prominent and suggested that she should wear long sleeves more often. If my cousin had actually taken that suggestion, she wouldn't be such a personas she is.
Inspired by my cousin, I am finally accepting who I am and now I don't hesitate when someone asks me about them either. I say, "They're beauty marks" and smile without pursing my lips.
8．How did the author feel when asked about the birthmarks
A．She felt annoyed to give others an answer.
B．She was bored to be faced with the question.
C．She was scared to be made fun of by people.
D．She felt excited to show her difference.
9．Who has the similar birthmarks like the author
A．Her mother. B．Her uncle.
C．Her cousin D．Her grandmother.
10．What can be inferred about the author's cousin
A．She dislikes talking about her birthmark.
B．She never judges others by their looks.
C．She is more confident than the author.
D．She has taken her grandma's suggestion.
11．What does the underlined word "prominent" in paragraph 4mean
A．Obvious. B．Harmful C．Brilliant D．Impressive
【答案】8．B
9．D
10．C
11．A
【知识点】推理判断题；词义猜测题；细节理解题；故事阅读类；记叙文
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了作者嘴唇和嘴里都有胎记。在作者成长的过程中，人们总是问她嘴上的黑斑是什么，作者为此搞得筋疲力尽。在表姐的启发下，作者终于接受了自己的身份。现在当人们问起她的时候，她会毫不犹豫地说"他们是美的印记"。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解，词义猜测和推理判断三个题型的考查，是一篇故事类阅读，通读全文，理解文章大意，阅读题目后返回原文阅读并找出与题目相对应的内容，仔细核对，选择符合原文原意的答案，完成后再次阅读并检查。
8．考查细节理解。根据第二段中的"In pictures, I used to hide my birthmarks by pursing(噘起) my lips so I wouldn't have to deal with people's questions. As I was growing up, people wore me out with them"在照片中，我常常撅起嘴巴来掩饰我的胎记。这样我就不必面对别人的问题了。随着我长大，人们会因为胎记把我搞得筋疲力尽。可知，作者照相时掩饰嘴上的胎记就是为避免人们的问题，人们反复问这个问题，导致作者感到厌倦，心情不好，故选B。
9．考查细节理解。根据第一段中的"For me, it's different-I have them on my lips and inside my mouth"对于我而言，这是不同的-我嘴唇上和嘴巴里面都有胎记。可知，作者的胎记在嘴唇上和嘴巴里；以及第三段中的"My mom's mom has birthmarks on her lips"我外祖母嘴唇上也有胎记。可知，作者的外祖母也有胎记在嘴唇上，所以作者和外祖母有相似的胎记，故选D。
10．考查推理判断。依据第四段中的"My cousin faces a similar challenge. She has a huge birthmark that takes up her whole arm. She's never tried to hide it or change her appearance"我表姐也面临同样的挑战。她有一块巨大的胎记占据她的整个手臂。她从来没试着掩盖胎记，或者是改变自己的外表；以及第五段中的"Inspired by my cousin"受表姐的鼓舞，可知，作者的表姐比作者自信，故选C。
11．考查词义猜测。根据第四段知道"suggested that she should wear long sleeves more often...she wouldn't be such a person as she is"建议她应该多穿长袖......她不会是这样的人。可知，表姐的奶奶想让她用长袖衣衫遮挡住胎记，因为她觉得胎记太明显了，可推知划线词 prominent 是"明显的"之意。故选A。

There have been many studies that show being in nature is good for your health. Walking in the woods is good for your well-being(健康). Living near trees can help you live longer. But when you go for a walk in the woods, what makes you feel good Is it the sights or smells or sounds A new study finds it might be the birds you hear while you have a walk.
Researchers from California Polytechnic State University analyzed(分析)how much the natural sounds people hear when they're outdoors influence well-being. They found that the "chorus(合唱)" of birds singing increased well-being in protected natural areas.
For the study, researchers put 10 hidden, evenly spaced(等间距的) speakers (扬声器) on two parts of trails(小路) in the Boulder Open Space and Mountain Parks in Colorado. They played recorded songs from 11 kinds of birds. The researchers take tums to play the birdsong for a few hours a day for a week, and then turned off the speakers for a week at a time. They interviewed hikers after they passed through the areas with the speakers.
"The main result is that hikers that heard the birdsong showed a higher level of well-being compared to those that did not hear the birdsong," Biology Professor Clinton Franeis, who led the research, says.
Hikers who heard more birdsong on the first part of the trail said they felt better. Those who heard more birdsong on the second part reported that they thought more birds lived along that part of the trail. This feeling of more birds helps make the hikers feel better. "With the chorus, we were able to show that natural sounds have a clear influence on the quality of hikers' experiences," says Francis.
12．What's the function(功能) of the questions in paragraph 1
A．To doubt the research done before.
B．To advise people to walk in nature.
C．To call on people to protect nature.
D．To introduce the topic of the text.
13．Why were the speakers put along the trails
A．To attract more people to the forest.
B．To remind hikers of their health.
C．To play sounds of different birds.
D．To hunt more birds for research.
14．What was the final step of the research
A．Comparing. B．Placing speakers.
C．Playing birdsong. D．Interviewing.
15．What is the best title for the text
A．Being in nature is good for people's heath.
B．Hearing birdsong is good for people's health.
C．Walking in forests help people live longer.
D．Raising birds improves people's living quality.
【答案】12．D
13．C

【知识点】推理判断题；细节理解题；说明文；科普类；标题选择
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了一项研究分析了人们在户外听到的自然声音对健康的影响程度，发现鸟鸣增加了远足者的幸福感。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解，推理判断和标题归纳三个题型的考查，是一篇科研类阅读，首先要仔细阅读短文，掌握大意，然后结合具体的题目，再读短文，从中找出相关信息，就可以确定正确答案。
12．考查推理判断。根据第一段中的"But when you go for a walk in the woods, what makes you feel good Is it the sights or smells or sounds A new study finds it might be the birds you hear while you have a walk."但当你在树林里散步时，什么会让你感觉很好？是景色、气味还是声音？一项新的研究发现，这可能是你散步时听到的鸟叫声。可知，作者先提出两个问题，然后说明问题的答案可能是散步时听到的鸟叫声，转入对研究的具体介绍。可推知，问题的功能是引入文章的话题。故选D。
13．考查细节理解。根据第三段中的"For the study, researchers put 10 hidden, evenly spaced (等间距的) speakers (扬声器) on two parts of trails (小路) in the Boulder Open Space and Mountain Parks in Colorado. They played recorded songs from 11 kinds of birds. "在这项研究中，研究人员在科罗拉多州博尔德露天场所和山地公园的两条小径上放置了10个隐藏的、均匀间隔的扬声器。他们播放了11种鸟类的歌曲录音。可知，在小径上放置扬声器是为了播放不同鸟类的声音。故选C。
14．考查推理判断。根据第三段内容可知，在该研究中研究人员的第一步是放置扬声器，第二步是播放鸟鸣，第三步是采访远足者；再结合第四段中的"The main result is that hikers that heard the birdsong showed a higher level of well-being compared to those that did not hear the birdsong "主要结果是，听到鸟鸣的远足者比没有听到鸟鸣的远足者表现出更高的幸福感。可推知，在得出结果之前，他们需要进行最后一步：比较远足者的采访感受。故选A。
15．考查标题归纳。根据第二段中的"They found that the ‘chorus (合唱)' of birds singing increased well-being in protected natural areas. "他们发现，鸟类的"合唱"增加了在自然保护区中的幸福感。可知，文章介绍了一项分析人们在户外听到的自然声音对健康影响程度的研究，该研究发现鸟鸣增加了远足者的幸福感。"听鸟鸣对人的健康有益"适合作为本文标题。故选B。

【点评】考查完形填空，本题考点涉及动词，名词，形容词，副词，固定短语等多个知识点的考查，是一篇人生感悟类阅读，要求考生在理解细节信息的基础上，进一步根据上下文的逻辑关系，进行分析推理，从而选出正确答案。
21．句意：在朋友的陪伴下，我开始了在跑步机上行走的习惯。A. quit"退出"；B. changed"改变"；C. started"开始"；D. designed"设计"。根据上文"I decided to take the gym seriously"，作者决定要在健身房锻炼，之后开始在跑步机上行走，此处考查动作顺序。故选C。
22．句意：我对我们在健身房的日常活动很满意。然而，我的朋友却感到厌烦了。A. confident"自信的"；B. familiar"熟悉的"；C. careful"小心的"；D. satisfied"满意的"。根据下文"My friend, however, became bored"作者朋友感觉无聊，所以前文作者情绪是满意的，构成转折。故选D。
23．句意：句意：一天，他建议我们从事一项户外运动。A. take up"开始，从事"；B. focus on"专注于"；C. make up"组成"；D. check in"登记入住"。根据空前"suggested"可知这只是建议，还没有开始；以及空后"an outdoor sport"，可知此处表示参加一项户外运动。故选A。
24．句意：我是个动作不协调的人，所以我拒绝了他的建议。A. admired"欣赏"；B. supported"支持"；C. revised"修改"；D. refused"拒绝"。根据空前"uncoordinated"，可知此处表示拒绝了他的建议，故选D。

26．句意：当我击球时，我让它向各个方向飞去，除了我想要的方向。A. wanted"想要"；B. imagined "想象"；C. scheduled"安排"；D. arranged"安排"。根据空前"except"可知，想要的方向和前文的实际击球的方向形成对比。故选A。
27．句意：尽管如此，不知为什么，我还是努力学习，并在不断练习后变得熟练起来。A. fluent"流利的"；B. skillful"熟练的"；C. curious"好奇的"；D. impressive"给人印象深刻的"。根据并列连词and和空后"after constantly practicing"可知此处表示努力练习，经过持续练习后变熟练。故选B。
28．句意："我们在跑步机上没有得到足够的锻炼。为什么不打网球来锻炼身体呢？"我的朋友建议道。A. movement"移动"；B. adventure"冒险"；C. exercise"锻炼"；D. time"时间"。根据下文"to build up our body"可知，朋友想要打网球来锻炼身体，所以认为在跑步机上并不能得到充分的锻炼，故选C。

For more than a decade, Nancy Richards Fares e has been taking heartwarming photos of children around the world. Throughout her travels, the American photographer has noticed a common characteristic(特点) that seems to go beyond cultures. "They play no matter what's going on," she said on a video call.
When Nancy Richards Farese visited Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh, she took photos of the poor children there. Among the hardship, children played with what they made for themselves. They blew pinwheels(玩具风车) and pulled a water bottle as a toy with wheels and an old rope. She said, "The other adults and I had a thought of the seriousness of this situation. We were sorry they were in a difficult situation. However, the kids were actually doing something, quite naturally, to help themselves feel good."
Farese's new book brings together almost 100 photos she has shot while examining children's play across 14 countries. Her young subjects(年轻受试者) play chess in Jordan and in Cuba; they jump, laugh and run; they kick and throw balls, climb and jump ropes. Dolls and kites often appear. Many games are seemingly global.
The photographer said, "We sometimes pay no attention to the importance of playing, but when you talk to scientists, they will say it is one of the most fundamental (基本的) things we ever do in our lives. It is something we were born with. It helps shape our ideas and other characteristics. It's just interesting to realize that our abilities to work together, to understand tolerance(容忍) are just simple developmental sides that we practice in a game. And they are so important."
"We move through the world everyday with this treasure. We should allow ourselves to play as a regular practice—to be creative, to set aside even five minutes every day as a time when we're in nature," she added.
4．How did the poor children in Cox's Bazar make themselves feel good
A．By taking pictures.
B．By making their own toys to play with.
C．By asking the adults for help.
D．By making video calls.
5．What does the photographer think of playing in the growth of children
A．Creative. B．Difficult. C．Natural. D．Useless.
6．What does Farese advise us to do
A．Spend time playing and relaxing ourselves.
B．Allow children to play in nature.
C．Think of some special ways to play.
D．Play with the children.
7．In which of the following can we most probably find this text
A．A diary. B．A history book.
C．A travel guide. D．A magazine.

When you hear the word "birthmark", you probably think of one of those black or brown spots that you have on your body. For me, it's different—I have them on my lips and inside my mouth. I'm used to being asked, "What are those black marks on your lips " When I tell people they're birthmarks, they usually say, "That's strange." I used to consider them ugly. However, my mom calls them beauty marks
In pictures, I used to hide my birthmarks by pursing(噘起) my lips so I wouldn't have to deal with people's questions. As I was growing up, people wore me out with them. Some people would ask me the same questions even before knowing my name. In society I feel like we judge people by their looks before their personality.
My birthmarks are caused by a genetic condition from my mom's side of the family. My mom's mom has birthmarks on her lips, and my mom's uncle and my uncle have some on their bodies. Every year I plan to have a procedure to remove them. But when imagining the process, I always get nervous and give up.
My cousin faces a similar challenge. She has a huge birthmark that takes up her whole arm. She's never tried to hide it or change her appearance. Once, her grandmother told her that the birthmark looked extremely prominent and suggested that she should wear long sleeves more often. If my cousin had actually taken that suggestion, she wouldn't be such a personas she is.
Inspired by my cousin, I am finally accepting who I am and now I don't hesitate when someone asks me about them either. I say, "They're beauty marks" and smile without pursing my lips.
8．How did the author feel when asked about the birthmarks
A．She felt annoyed to give others an answer.
B．She was bored to be faced with the question.
C．She was scared to be made fun of by people.
D．She felt excited to show her difference.
9．Who has the similar birthmarks like the author
A．Her mother. B．Her uncle.
C．Her cousin D．Her grandmother.
10．What can be inferred about the author's cousin
A．She dislikes talking about her birthmark.
B．She never judges others by their looks.
C．She is more confident than the author.
D．She has taken her grandma's suggestion.
11．What does the underlined word "prominent" in paragraph 4mean
A．Obvious. B．Harmful C．Brilliant D．Impressive

There have been many studies that show being in nature is good for your health. Walking in the woods is good for your well-being(健康). Living near trees can help you live longer. But when you go for a walk in the woods, what makes you feel good Is it the sights or smells or sounds A new study finds it might be the birds you hear while you have a walk.
Researchers from California Polytechnic State University analyzed(分析)how much the natural sounds people hear when they're outdoors influence well-being. They found that the "chorus(合唱)" of birds singing increased well-being in protected natural areas.
For the study, researchers put 10 hidden, evenly spaced(等间距的) speakers (扬声器) on two parts of trails(小路) in the Boulder Open Space and Mountain Parks in Colorado. They played recorded songs from 11 kinds of birds. The researchers take tums to play the birdsong for a few hours a day for a week, and then turned off the speakers for a week at a time. They interviewed hikers after they passed through the areas with the speakers.
"The main result is that hikers that heard the birdsong showed a higher level of well-being compared to those that did not hear the birdsong," Biology Professor Clinton Franeis, who led the research, says.
Hikers who heard more birdsong on the first part of the trail said they felt better. Those who heard more birdsong on the second part reported that they thought more birds lived along that part of the trail. This feeling of more birds helps make the hikers feel better. "With the chorus, we were able to show that natural sounds have a clear influence on the quality of hikers' experiences," says Francis.
12．What's the function(功能) of the questions in paragraph 1
A．To doubt the research done before.
B．To advise people to walk in nature.
C．To call on people to protect nature.
D．To introduce the topic of the text.
13．Why were the speakers put along the trails
A．To attract more people to the forest.
B．To remind hikers of their health.
C．To play sounds of different birds.
D．To hunt more birds for research.
14．What was the final step of the research
A．Comparing. B．Placing speakers.
C．Playing birdsong. D．Interviewing.
15．What is the best title for the text
A．Being in nature is good for people's heath.
B．Hearing birdsong is good for people's health.
C．Walking in forests help people live longer.
D．Raising birds improves people's living quality.

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了作者嘴唇和嘴里都有胎记。在作者成长的过程中，人们总是问她嘴上的黑斑是什么，作者为此搞得筋疲力尽。在表姐的启发下，作者终于接受了自己的身份。现在当人们问起她的时候，她会毫不犹豫地说"他们是美的印记"。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解，词义猜测和推理判断三个题型的考查，是一篇故事类阅读，通读全文，理解文章大意，阅读题目后返回原文阅读并找出与题目相对应的内容，仔细核对，选择符合原文原意的答案，完成后再次阅读并检查。
8．考查细节理解。根据第二段中的"In pictures, I used to hide my birthmarks by pursing(噘起) my lips so I wouldn't have to deal with people's questions. As I was growing up, people wore me out with them"在照片中，我常常撅起嘴巴来掩饰我的胎记。这样我就不必面对别人的问题了。随着我长大，人们会因为胎记把我搞得筋疲力尽。可知，作者照相时掩饰嘴上的胎记就是为避免人们的问题，人们反复问这个问题，导致作者感到厌倦，心情不好，故选B。
9．考查细节理解。根据第一段中的"For me, it's different-I have them on my lips and inside my mouth"对于我而言，这是不同的-我嘴唇上和嘴巴里面都有胎记。可知，作者的胎记在嘴唇上和嘴巴里；以及第三段中的"My mom's mom has birthmarks on her lips"我外祖母嘴唇上也有胎记。可知，作者的外祖母也有胎记在嘴唇上，所以作者和外祖母有相似的胎记，故选D。

11．考查词义猜测。根据第四段知道"suggested that she should wear long sleeves more often...she wouldn't be such a person as she is"建议她应该多穿长袖......她不会是这样的人。可知，表姐的奶奶想让她用长袖衣衫遮挡住胎记，因为她觉得胎记太明显了，可推知划线词 prominent 是"明显的"之意。故选A。

12．考查推理判断。根据第一段中的"But when you go for a walk in the woods, what makes you feel good Is it the sights or smells or sounds A new study finds it might be the birds you hear while you have a walk."但当你在树林里散步时，什么会让你感觉很好？是景色、气味还是声音？一项新的研究发现，这可能是你散步时听到的鸟叫声。可知，作者先提出两个问题，然后说明问题的答案可能是散步时听到的鸟叫声，转入对研究的具体介绍。可推知，问题的功能是引入文章的话题。故选D。
13．考查细节理解。根据第三段中的"For the study, researchers put 10 hidden, evenly spaced (等间距的) speakers (扬声器) on two parts of trails (小路) in the Boulder Open Space and Mountain Parks in Colorado. They played recorded songs from 11 kinds of birds. "在这项研究中，研究人员在科罗拉多州博尔德露天场所和山地公园的两条小径上放置了10个隐藏的、均匀间隔的扬声器。他们播放了11种鸟类的歌曲录音。可知，在小径上放置扬声器是为了播放不同鸟类的声音。故选C。
14．考查推理判断。根据第三段内容可知，在该研究中研究人员的第一步是放置扬声器，第二步是播放鸟鸣，第三步是采访远足者；再结合第四段中的"The main result is that hikers that heard the birdsong showed a higher level of well-being compared to those that did not hear the birdsong "主要结果是，听到鸟鸣的远足者比没有听到鸟鸣的远足者表现出更高的幸福感。可推知，在得出结果之前，他们需要进行最后一步：比较远足者的采访感受。故选A。
15．考查标题归纳。根据第二段中的"They found that the ‘chorus (合唱)' of birds singing increased well-being in protected natural areas. "他们发现，鸟类的"合唱"增加了在自然保护区中的幸福感。可知，文章介绍了一项分析人们在户外听到的自然声音对健康影响程度的研究，该研究发现鸟鸣增加了远足者的幸福感。"听鸟鸣对人的健康有益"适合作为本文标题。故选B。

Dear Amy,
Welcome to our school! I'm glad to receive your letter asking for my advice on how to adapt to school life and get to know the city better. Here are some suggestions, which I hope will be of some help to you.
To begin with, you'd better think carefully about what courses to take, in which you will make some new friends. Besides, I recommend that you join in some extra-curricular activities or sign up for school clubs, getting acquainted with new people and adapting to the life here quickly. In addition, to ensure that you get to know the city faster, it would be a good idea to participate in some outdoor activities. Last but not least, if possible, explore some local cuisine, so that you can have a better understanding of the city where the new school is located.
Hopefully you'll enjoy your stay here. Looking forward to your coming.
Yours.
