阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
72 hours in Beijing
Traveling to China is no longer a luxury for many foreign passport holders. The Chinese government has permitted a 72-hour visa free policy that offers access to visitors from 53 countries including the US, France and Austria. Let’s start with the capital of China, Beijing. Here’s a pick of the best in Beijing.
The Forbidden City
Lying at the heart of the capital, the Forbidden City, or more accurately, the Imperial Palace, was home to 24 Chinese emperors during the Ming and Qing dynasties. Twice the size of the Vatican, it consists of 999 rooms that served the emperors and their concubines (嫔妃). Also, it’s the largest and most well-preserved wooden palace complex in the world.
The Summer Palace
Located in northwestern Beijing, the Summer Palace is by far the city’s most well-preserved royal park. With its huge lake and hilltop views , the palace offers you a pastoral (田园的) escape into the landscape of traditional Chinese paintings. The Summer Palace was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1998.
798 Art Zone
This would be on the top of my list! Named after the 798 factory that was built in the 1950s, the art zone is home to various galleries, design studios, art exhibition spaces, fashionable shops and bars. You could easily spend half your day wandering around the complex, feeling the contrast of the present and the past.
The Temple of Heaven
Originally constructed during the Ming Dynasty, the Temple of Heaven was a sacrificial temple used by emperors to appease (安抚)the heavens in order to bring prosperity to their people and ensure the harvest in the coming year. The ceremonial processions traditionally started from the south gate. Enter the long hall and navigate through the crowds, the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests will soon come into view with its three-tiered roof and stunning blue glaze.
21. In which place can a traveller see the largest wooden palace complex in the world
A The Forbidden City. B. The Summer Palace.
C. 798 Art Zone. D. The Temple of Heaven.
22. When was the Summer Palace added to the UNESCO World Heritage List
A. In 1950. B. In 1987. C. In 1998. D. In 2014.
23. Who is the passage intended for
A. The tourists who prefer to travel for free.
B. The foreigners to stay in Beijing for 4 days.
C. The visitors coming from every corner of China.
D. The foreign passport holders to stay in Beijing for 3 days.
【答案】21. A 22. C 23. D
【解析】

【23题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Traveling to China is no longer a luxury for many foreign passport holders. The Chinese government has permitted a 72- hour visa - free policy that offers access to visitors from 53 countries including the US, France and Austria. Let’s start with the capital of China, Beijing. Here’s a pick of the best in Beijing! (对于很多持有外国护照的人来说，去中国旅游不再是一件奢侈的事。中国政府批准了72 小时免签政策，允许来自美国、法国和奥地利等53 个国家的游客入境。)”可知，对于持有外国护照的人来说，去中国旅游不再是奢侈的事情了，中国政府批准了72小时的免签政策，允许一些国家的游客入境，由此可知，本文是写给要在北京待 3 天的外国护照持有者。故选 D 项
B
A few years ago, I moved to a window office and sent an email letting everyone know. In the email, I jokingly invited everyone to come by for a “tour” of the new space.
I was in a meeting that morning and when I got back to my office, I saw a box on my desk. There was a note on it, saying, “Happy new office!” The person didn’t sign it. I was so happy with that. I didn’t feel like I should help anyone or that someone was trying to get something from me. In fact, I found myself thanking everyone in the office. It was completely different from what I did on the beach the other day.
The water was coming in. Two nice chairs were about to be taken out by the waves. The owners were nowhere to be seen, so I moved the chairs again and again as the waves rose. When the couple who owned the chairs showed up. I couldn’t help myself. I went over, pointed to the waves, and said. “A couple of hours ago, your chairs were out there.”
“Oh, thanks so much for pulling them in,” said the guy. “We just realized they were out here and thought they had probably gotten washed away.”
“Don’t worry about it,” I said, as I walked away. Then these words came to my mind, “You have your reward.”
Then I realized when I went over to the couple, I was looking for something. If they hadn’t shown anything after I told what I had done, it would have upset me. In our life, people who show their good deeds are always looking for a reward and they resent those who don’t celebrate their generosity.
However, when we experience the pleasure of giving without letting the other know, we do more than show kindness. We’re just giving to communicate an invaluable message, “You’re loved. You’re important to someone and it has nothing to do with what you can give in return.”
24. How did the author feel when she saw the box
A. Nervous and thankful. B. Bored and painful.
C. Happy and grateful. D. Stressed and tired.
25. What can we infer about the author when she was on the beach
A. She told the couple what she did.
B. She was lucky to meet with a kind couple.
C. She got angry at keeping moving the chairs.
D. She didn’t think the couple liked the chairs.
26. Which word can replace the underlined word “resent” in paragraph 6
A. Avoid. B. Hate. C. Love D. Persuade.
27. What does the author advise us to do through the text
A. Do what we can to help more people.
B. Show love to someone important to you.
C. Show kindness to those who dislike you.
D. Give without expecting anything in return.
【答案】24. C 25. A 26. B 27. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本文通过作者的经历，告诉我们无私的给予比期待回报的善举更有价值， 因为它传达了一个无价的信息：“你被爱，你对某人很重要，这与你能回报什么无关。”这种给予的行为，不是为了得到别人的赞扬或者回报，而是出于对他人的关爱和尊重，更能体现真正的善良和慷慨。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“I was so happy with that. I didn’t feel like I should help anyone or that someone was trying to get something from me. In fact, I found myself thanking everyone in the office.(我很高兴。我不觉得我应该帮助任何人，也不觉得有人想从我这里得到什么。事实上，我发现自己要感谢办公室里的每一个人)”可知，当作者看到这个盒子时，她很开心和感激有人偷偷送给她。故选C项。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“I went over, pointed to the waves, and said. “A couple of hours ago, your chairs were out there.”(我走过去，指着海浪说。“几个小时前，你们的椅子还在外面。”)”可推知，当作者在海滩上时，她让那对夫妇知道了她的所作所为。故选A项。
【26题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第六段中“If they hadn’t shown anything after I told what I had done, it would have upset me.(如果在我告诉他们我做了什么之后他们没有展示任何东西，这会让我很难过。）以及划线单词句中“In our life, people who show their good deeds are always looking for a reward(在我们的生活中，做好事的人总是在寻求回报)”可知，此处为他们憎恨那些不赞美他们慷慨的人。由此可知，划线单词resent的意思是“怨恨”，与B项Hate“讨厌”意思一致。故选B项 。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“However, when we experience the pleasure of giving without letting the other know, we do more than show kindness. We’re just giving to communicate an invaluable message, “You’re loved. You’re important to someone and it has nothing to do with what you can give in return.”(然而，当我们在不让别人知道的情况下体验到给予的快乐时，我们所做的不仅仅是表现出善意。我们只是在传递一个宝贵的信息：“你被爱着。你对某人很重要，这与你能给予什么回报无关。”)”可推知，作者通过文章建议我们不求回报地付出。故选D项
C
Many diseases and medical conditions are caused by things out of our control. Yet experts say you can control and even prevent many of the factors that increase your chances of dying. Experts note that an unhealthy lifestyle can put you at great risk of heart disease and strokes. So doctors urge us to eat healthy foods, get exercise, stop smoking and limit our alcohol intake. But there is something else you can do. And it is free and easy. Smile!
Anand Chockalingam is a heart disease specialist at University of Missouri Health Care in Columbia, Missouri. He advises his patients to smile. “When we smile, the brain wiring gets altered. The chemicals that are released are more positive.” He says smiling is a first step in fighting physical and emotional stress and sometimes the stress has harmful effects on human health. This is not just New Age advice. Several studies support Dr. Chockalingam’s prescription -smile more.
Disorders of the heart and blood vessels(血管) are the number one cause of death around the world. The main causes of heart attacks and strokes are blockages in blood vessels. These prevent blood from flowing to the heart or the brain. When you feel stressed or under pressure, your body releases many natural hormones(激素) that increase your heart rate and blood pressure. Cortisol is the body’s main stress hormone. It increases sugar in the bloodstream. If you are truly in danger, these hormones can help you. They are part of what we call our fight- or-flight response. However, when you are stressed for a long period, these stress hormones may lead to health problems.
Dr. Chockalingam says a smile may be one way to help. He tells his patients to smile 20 times an hour. To some, that might seem like a lot of smiling. Or some might even feel foolish... smiling for seemingly no reason. But a smile does not involve drugs. It is free and it has no bad side effects.
“Once people smile, they are relaxed. This relaxation directly lowers blood pressure, and improves sugar levels in the blood. If we are smiling, we are breaking that link between stress and health.”
28. What is the purpose of the first paragraph
A. To stop people from drinking too much alcohol.
B. To show the importance of leading a healthy lifestyle.
C. To show some factors that can increase the chance of dying.
D. To introduce a free and easy way to control the factors of dying.
29. What can we learn from paragraph 2
A. The patients who smile can get altered.
B. Smiling can add to physical and emotional stress.
C. Physical and emotional stress must have bad effects.
D. When people smile, there will be positive chemicals produced.
30. Which of the following statements is reasonable
A. The smiling patients are foolish.
B. Heart attacks and strokes don’t cause death.
C. The stress hormones may lead to different results, good or bad.
D. When you feel stressed, the body releases many beneficial hormones.
31. What does the passage mainly talk about
A. Smiling makes you relaxed.
B. You should lead a happy life.
C. Smiling is beneficial to your health.
D. You should stop leading the unhealthy life.
【答案】28. D 29. D 30. C 31. C
【解析】
【导语】本文为说明文。本文主要介绍了微笑可以预防、控制死亡因素，改善心血管状态，对健康有好处。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段中的“But there is something else you can do. And it is free and easy. Smile!”（但你还可以做点别的。它是自由和容易的。微笑！）可推知，第一段作者想引出一种可以控制死亡因素的自由、简单的方法——微笑。故选D项。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“When we smile, the brain wiring gets altered. The chemicals that are released are more positive.”（当我们微笑时，大脑的线路会发生改变。释放出来的化学物质更积极。）可知，我们可以从第二段了解到当人们微笑时，就会产生积极的化学物质。故选D项。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。由第三段中的“If you are truly in danger, these hormones can help you. They are part of what we call our fight- or-flight response. However, when you are stressed for a long period, these stress hormones may lead to health problems.”（如果你真的处于危险之中，这些激素可以帮助你。它们是我们所谓的“战或逃”反应的一部分。然而，当你长时间处于压力之下时，这些压力荷尔蒙可能会导致健康问题。）可知，压力荷尔蒙可能会导致不同的结果，有好有坏，这项陈述是正确的，ABD项均与原文实意不符。故选C项。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及最后一段““Once people smile, they are relaxed. This relaxation directly lowers blood pressure, and improves sugar levels in the blood. If we are smiling, we are breaking that link between stress and health.””（“一旦人们微笑，他们就会放松。这种放松直接降低了血压，提高了血糖水平。如果我们微笑，我们就打破了压力和健康之间的联系。”）由此可知，全文围绕“微笑”与“改善心血管状态和对健康的好处”进行阐述，故文章的主旨是微笑对你的健康有益。故选 C 项
D
An international team of researchers from Sweden and the UK have developed an innovative way of interpreting biological signals produced by our skin. Using data obtained from a Philips wrist-worn wearable sensor device that can also measure movement, the researchers’ system displays information in the form of colourful spiral graphics (螺旋图形) in real time on a smartphone, as well as a recording of data, for the wearer to interpret and reflect on.
The prototype (雏形) visualisation system, called ‘Affective Health’, was developed by experts in Human-Computer Interaction looking into how new and emerging computer technologies can be used to design engaging visualisations on smartphones.
A study group of 23 people were given the Affective Health prototype to use for a month. Importantly, the researchers purposely did not tell the participants what the devices were useful for. Instead, they gave guidelines that Affective Health could collect information relating to both physical and emotional reactions, how increased sweating increased the conductivity, and how this was represented by different colours. The participants were left to decide the best ways of using the technology.
The researchers found that this open design stage of the study led to some participants using the system as a tool to measure and help manage their stress levels. While others, including outstanding athletes, used the device to get information on their training and recovery programmes. Other uses included logging information on their lives and tracking emotions. But interestingly, few would use the technology for more than one purpose.
Although the open design phase helped reveal several different practices Affective Health prototypes could be used for, the prototype lacked some of the functions needed to make it a good tool for a specific role—such as a sports training system, or as a stress management tool. The researchers found the need for a second, more tailored step in the design process to make devices specific to particular roles.
32. What were the participants unaware of about the prototype
A. Its function as a measuring tool.
B. Its reactions to physical activity.
C. Its colourful spiral graphics.
D. Its specified uses.
33. What interested the researchers
A. People used the device quite differently.
B. Few used the device to help better themselves.
C. Many considered the device a single-purpose tool.
D. Many purposely avoided the device’s certain functions.
34. What can be learned about Affective Health
A. It has a rising market share.
B. It causes trouble for users.
C. It lacks competitiveness.
D. It needs improvement.
35. What can be the best title for the text
A. Sweat, a Mood Detector
B. Time to Reflect on Ourselves
C. Colourful Sensors Gain Popularity
D. Technologies Interpret Biodata from the Skin
【答案】32. D 33. C 34. D 35. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了一个名为“Affective Health原型机”的新发明，可以解读我们皮肤产生的生物信号，可以用来观测我们的情绪变化。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段关键句“A study group of 23 people were given the Affective Health prototype to use for a month. Importantly, the researchers purposely did not tell the participants what the devices were useful for.”（一个由23人组成的研究小组使用了一个月的Affective Health原型机。重要的是，研究人员故意不告诉参与者这些设备的用途。）可知，研究人员没告诉参与者Affective Health原型机的用途，由此可知，参与者不知道原型机的具体用途。故选D项。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段关键句“But interestingly, few would use the technology for more than one purpose.”（但有趣的是，很少有人会将该技术用于多个目的。）可知，研究人员发现，有趣的是，很少有人会将该技术用于多个目的，由此可知，研究人员感兴趣的是许多人认为该装置是一种单一用途的工具。故选C项。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段内容“Although the open design phase helped reveal several different practices Affective Health prototypes could be used for, the prototype lacked some of the functions needed to make it a good tool for a specific role—such as a sports training system, or as a stress management tool. The researchers found the need for a second, more tailored step in the design process to make devices specific to particular roles.”（尽管开放设计阶段帮助揭示了Affective Health原型机可用于的几种不同实践，但该原型机缺乏某些功能，无法使其成为特定角色的良好工具，如运动训练系统或压力管理工具。研究人员发现，在设计过程中需要第二个更为定制的步骤，以使设备针对于特定角色。）可知，Affective Health原型机缺乏某些功能，无法成为特定角色的良好工具，需要进一步改进，以使设备针对于特定角色，由此可知，Affective Health原型机需要改进。故选D项。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第一段关键句“An international team of researchers from Sweden and the UK have developed an innovative way of interpreting biological signals produced by our skin.”（来自瑞典和英国的一个国际研究团队开发了一种解释我们皮肤产生的生物信号的创新方法。）可知，本文主要介绍了一个名为“Affective Health原型机”的新发明，可以解读我们皮肤产生的生物信号，可以用来观测我们的情绪变化，“Technologies Interpret Biodata from the Skin”意为“技术从皮肤解读生物数据”，选项能够概括文章主要内容。故选D项。

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
How to support a child with test anxiety
It’s normal for students to feel nervous before or during a test. Often, parents can be pretty in the dark. If you doubt your child is one of the many strugglings with test anxiety, ____36____ .
Focus on time and stress management skills. Many children with test anxiety fear that they won’t be able to complete the test in time, so for these kids, focusing on time management skills may help. Winnett says working with planners and calendars and breaking up large projects into smaller tasks can be a good way. ____37____Talk to your child’s teacher about tools students can use and practice deep breathing with your child, which can be a good way to help ease your child’s nerves the night before.
____38____Children with test anxiety may express a fear of disappointing their parents. Zeltser says parents may enhance that fear and advises parents to focus on other values-trying your best, for example. Parents can reframe(再构造) these thoughts by telling the child that it’s more important to try hard than it is to get a perfect score on every exam.
Communicate with educators. Teachers are likely to notice test anxiety earlier than parents are. Things like going to the bathroom frequently or shaky hands during exams could be signs of test anxiety that parents may never see. ____39____
Know when to seek professional help. If you’ve tried all of these techniques and nothing seems to help, it might be worthwhile to visit a therapist(治疗师). Therapists who are trained in techniques like cognitive behavioral therapy will be able to help children with particularly terrible test anxiety. ____40____

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章就如何帮孩子解决考试焦虑问题提出了四条建议。
【36题详解】
空格前的句子“It’s normal for students to feel nervous before or during a test.(学生在考试前或考试中感到紧张是正常的)”是说，学生在考试前或考试中感到紧张是正常的。再由空前“If you doubt your child is one of the many strugglings with test anxiety, (如果你怀疑你的孩子是众多考试焦虑症患者之一，)”可知，该空应该就前面这问题提出解决方案，而D项here are some important things to help manage it.(这里有一些重要的东西可以帮助管理它。)符合句意，其中it代指前面test anxiety，且here are some important things有启下作用。故选D项。
37题详解】
根据该部分的主题句“Focus on time and stress management skills.(专注于时间和压力管理技能)”可知，该部分是建议通过时间管理和压力管理来处理考试焦虑问题。空格前的句子“Many children with test anxiety fear that they won’t be able to complete the test in time, so for these kids, focusing on time management skills may help. Winnett says working with planners and calendars and breaking up large projects into smaller tasks can be a good way.(许多有考试焦虑症的孩子担心他们不能及时完成考试，所以对这些孩子来说，专注于时间管理技能可能会有所帮助。Winnett说，与计划者一起规划时间，把大项目分解成小任务可能是一个好方法)”说的是时间管理的技能。所以，空格处和空格后的部分应该说压力管理技能。E项Stress management techniques like using a stress ball can also help.(压力管理技巧，比如使用压力球也会有所帮助)正是说的压力管理技巧。所以E项填入空格处，符合题意。故选E项。
【38题详解】
空格处的句子是该部分的主题句。空格后的句子“Children with test anxiety may express a fear of disappointing their parents. Zeltser says parents may enhance that fear and advises parents to focus on other values-trying your best, for example. Parents can reframe(再构造) these thoughts by telling the child that it’s more important to try hard than it is to get a perfect score on every exam.(患有考试焦虑症的孩子可能会表现出害怕让父母失望。泽尔策说，父母可能会强化这种恐惧，并建议父母关注其他价值观——例如，尽你最大的努力。父母可以通过告诉孩子努力比每次考试都得高分更重要来重塑这些想法)”是说患有考试焦虑症的孩子可能害怕让父母失望。并建议父母告诉孩子努力比得高分更重要。由此可知，空格处的句子应该是建议父母不要过分强调分数。所以，B项Avoid overemphasizing good grades(避免过分强调好成绩)填入空格处，符合题意。故选B项。
【39题详解】
根据空格前的句子“Teachers are likely to notice test anxiety earlier than parents are. Things like going to the bathroom frequently or shaky hands during exams could be signs of test anxiety that parents may never see.(老师可能比家长更早注意到考试焦虑。频繁上厕所或考试时手抖都可能是考试焦虑的迹象，而父母可能永远看不到)”可知，老师可能比家长更清楚孩子是否有考试焦虑的问题，所以，空格处的句子应该说和老师交流对解决孩子考试焦虑的好处。所以，G项Talking to your child’s teacher could be a good way to ease your child’s anxiety.(和孩子的老师交谈可能是缓解孩子焦虑的好方法)填入空格处，和上文是顺接关系，符合题意。故选G项。
【40题详解】
根据该部分的主题句“Know when to seek professional help.(知道什么时候寻求专业帮助)”和空格前的句子“If you’ve tried all of these techniques and nothing seems to help, it might be worthwhile to visit a therapist(治疗师). Therapists who are trained in techniques like cognitive behavioral therapy will be able to help children with particularly terrible test anxiety.(如果你已经尝试了所有这些技巧，但似乎没有任何帮助，那就值得去看心理医生了。接受过认知行为疗法等技术培训的治疗师将能够帮助患有特别严重的考试焦虑症的儿童)”可知，如果以上的技巧没有帮助时，就应该寻求专业帮助了。所以，空格处的句子肯定会说专业帮助的好处。而F项Additionally, specialists are better suited to identify the cause of the test anxiety.(此外，专家更适合确定考试焦虑的原因)正是强调专家的作用。所以F项填入空格处，符合题意。故填F项。

Ali and his younger sister, Zahra, lived with their parents in a poor neighborhood. Their moth- er was very sick and their father was struggling to finda job, and they had only a little money with which to buy food. As they had not paid the rent for sever al months, the landlord was breathing down their necks.
One day, Ali took Zahra's shoes to a shoe re pairman to be fixed, but he lost them on the way home. It wasn’t until he got home that he realized he had lost the shoes. He was afraid that his parents would be angry and disappointed, so he begged his sister to keep it secret. Zahra agreed and the two decided to share Ali’s running shoes. Zahra's school hours were in the morning, so she would wear them first. After school, she would rush back and give them to Ali. He could then run to his school, which began in the afternoon. Although he ran as fast as he could, Ali often arrived late and was warned by the school.
Ali heard about a long distance race that was held for the boys in the city.When he learned that the third prize was a new pair of shoes, he decided to take part. He ran home excitedly and promised his sister that he would win her the new shoes.
The day of race arrived. Ali had a strong start, but halfway through the race he began to get tired and his legs began to ache. Getting more and more exhausted he thought only of Zahra and his promise to her. Dreaming of the new shoes he would win for his sister gave him strength, and he stayed right be hind the two fastest runners, determined to finish third. Suddenly, as the finish line drew near, another runner collided(碰撞) with Ali from behind and he crashed to the ground.
Ali looked up and saw the other boys rushing ahead.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Filled with delight, Ali walked home quickly.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Ali looked up and saw the other boys rushing ahead. Refusing to give up at this point, he jumped to his feet and ran as fast as he could. He dashed across the finish line and won the fourth prize. Thinking he would let her sister down, Ali couldn’t help sobbing. Just then he suddenly heard the announcement from the broadcast that he won the third prize as the runner who collided with Ali was disqualified for breaking the rule. Holding the shoes close to his chest during the award ceremony, Ali felt overjoyed and relieved as he eventually won the shoes for his sister.
Filled with delight, Ali walked home quickly. He could not wait to see his sister and share the good news. On his arrival, Ali found Zahra was waiting outside. Nervous and anxious, Zahra wondered whether her brother had brought her what she was expecting. “Zahra, see what I have got for you.” Ali said excitedly, taking the prize out of his bag with his trembling hands. The instant Zahra saw the shoes, her face lit up. So thrilled was she that she threw herself at Ali. “Thank you!Ali.” Tears of joy welled up in their eyes as the brother and the sister hugged tightly together.

A
72 hours in Beijing
Traveling to China is no longer a luxury for many foreign passport holders. The Chinese government has permitted a 72-hour visa free policy that offers access to visitors from 53 countries including the US, France and Austria. Let’s start with the capital of China, Beijing. Here’s a pick of the best in Beijing.
The Forbidden City
Lying at the heart of the capital, the Forbidden City, or more accurately, the Imperial Palace, was home to 24 Chinese emperors during the Ming and Qing dynasties. Twice the size of the Vatican, it consists of 999 rooms that served the emperors and their concubines (嫔妃). Also, it’s the largest and most well-preserved wooden palace complex in the world.
The Summer Palace
Located in northwestern Beijing, the Summer Palace is by far the city’s most well-preserved royal park. With its huge lake and hilltop views , the palace offers you a pastoral (田园的) escape into the landscape of traditional Chinese paintings. The Summer Palace was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1998.
798 Art Zone
This would be on the top of my list! Named after the 798 factory that was built in the 1950s, the art zone is home to various galleries, design studios, art exhibition spaces, fashionable shops and bars. You could easily spend half your day wandering around the complex, feeling the contrast of the present and the past.
The Temple of Heaven
Originally constructed during the Ming Dynasty, the Temple of Heaven was a sacrificial temple used by emperors to appease (安抚)the heavens in order to bring prosperity to their people and ensure the harvest in the coming year. The ceremonial processions traditionally started from the south gate. Enter the long hall and navigate through the crowds, the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests will soon come into view with its three-tiered roof and stunning blue glaze.
21. In which place can a traveller see the largest wooden palace complex in the world
A. The Forbidden City. B. The Summer Palace.
C. 798 Art Zone. D. The Temple of Heaven.
22. When was the Summer Palace added to the UNESCO World Heritage List
A. In 1950. B. In 1987. C. In 1998. D. In 2014.
23. Who is the passage intended for
A. The tourists who prefer to travel for free.
B. The foreigners to stay in Beijing for 4 days.
C. The visitors coming from every corner of China.
D. The foreign passport holders to stay in Beijing for 3 days.
B
A few years ago, I moved to a window office and sent an email letting everyone know. In the email, I jokingly invited everyone to come by for a “tour” of the new space.
I was in a meeting that morning and when I got back to my office, I saw a box on my desk. There was a note on it, saying, “Happy new office!” The person didn’t sign it. I was so happy with that. I didn’t feel like I should help anyone or that someone was trying to get something from me. In fact, I found myself thanking everyone in the office. It was completely different from what I did on the beach the other day.
The water was coming in. Two nice chairs were about to be taken out by the waves. The owners were nowhere to be seen, so I moved the chairs again and again as the waves rose. When the couple who owned the chairs showed up. I couldn’t help myself. I went over, pointed to the waves, and said. “A couple of hours ago, your chairs were out there.”
“Oh, thanks so much for pulling them in,” said the guy. “We just realized they were out here and thought they had probably gotten washed away.”
“Don’t worry about it,” I said, as I walked away. Then these words came to my mind, “You have your reward.”
Then I realized when I went over to the couple, I was looking for something. If they hadn’t shown anything after I told what I had done, it would have upset me. In our life, people who show their good deeds are always looking for a reward and they resent those who don’t celebrate their generosity.
However, when we experience the pleasure of giving without letting the other know, we do more than show kindness. We’re just giving to communicate an invaluable message, “You’re loved. You’re important to someone and it has nothing to do with what you can give in return.”
24. How did the author feel when she saw the box
A. Nervous and thankful. B. Bored and painful.
C. Happy and grateful. D. Stressed and tired.
25. What can we infer about the author when she was on the beach
A. She told the couple what she did.
B. She was lucky to meet with a kind couple.
C. She got angry at keeping moving the chairs.
D. She didn’t think the couple liked the chairs.
26. Which word can replace the underlined word “resent” in paragraph 6
A. Avoid. B. Hate. C. Love D. Persuade.
27. What does the author advise us to do through the text
A. Do what we can to help more people.
B. Show love to someone important to you.
C. Show kindness to those who dislike you.
D. Give without expecting anything in return.
C
Many diseases and medical conditions are caused by things out of our control. Yet experts say you can control and even prevent many of the factors that increase your chances of dying. Experts note that an unhealthy lifestyle can put you at great risk of heart disease and strokes. So doctors urge us to eat healthy foods, get exercise, stop smoking and limit our alcohol intake. But there is something else you can do. And it is free and easy. Smile!
Anand Chockalingam is a heart disease specialist at University of Missouri Health Care in Columbia, Missouri. He advises his patients to smile. “When we smile, the brain wiring gets altered. The chemicals that are released are more positive.” He says smiling is a first step in fighting physical and emotional stress and sometimes the stress has harmful effects on human health. This is not just New Age advice. Several studies support Dr. Chockalingam’s prescription -smile more.
Disorders of the heart and blood vessels(血管) are the number one cause of death around the world. The main causes of heart attacks and strokes are blockages in blood vessels. These prevent blood from flowing to the heart or the brain. When you feel stressed or under pressure, your body releases many natural hormones(激素) that increase your heart rate and blood pressure. Cortisol is the body’s main stress hormone. It increases sugar in the bloodstream. If you are truly in danger, these hormones can help you. They are part of what we call our fight- or-flight response. However, when you are stressed for a long period, these stress hormones may lead to health problems.
Dr. Chockalingam says a smile may be one way to help. He tells his patients to smile 20 times an hour. To some, that might seem like a lot of smiling. Or some might even feel foolish... smiling for seemingly no reason. But a smile does not involve drugs. It is free and it has no bad side effects.
“Once people smile, they are relaxed. This relaxation directly lowers blood pressure, and improves sugar levels in the blood. If we are smiling, we are breaking that link between stress and health.”
28. What is the purpose of the first paragraph
A. To stop people from drinking too much alcohol.
B. To show the importance of leading a healthy lifestyle.
C. To show some factors that can increase the chance of dying.
D To introduce a free and easy way to control the factors of dying.
29. What can we learn from paragraph 2
A. The patients who smile can get altered.
B. Smiling can add to physical and emotional stress.
C. Physical and emotional stress must have bad effects.
D. When people smile, there will be positive chemicals produced.
30. Which of the following statements is reasonable
A. The smiling patients are foolish.
B. Heart attacks and strokes don’t cause death.
C. The stress hormones may lead to different results, good or bad.
D. When you feel stressed, the body releases many beneficial hormones.
31. What does the passage mainly talk about
A. Smiling makes you relaxed.
B. You should lead a happy life.
C. Smiling is beneficial to your health.
D. You should stop leading the unhealthy life.
D
An international team of researchers from Sweden and the UK have developed an innovative way of interpreting biological signals produced by our skin. Using data obtained from a Philips wrist-worn wearable sensor device that can also measure movement, the researchers’ system displays information in the form of colourful spiral graphics (螺旋图形) in real time on a smartphone, as well as a recording of data, for the wearer to interpret and reflect on.
The prototype (雏形) visualisation system, called ‘Affective Health’, was developed by experts in Human-Computer Interaction looking into how new and emerging computer technologies can be used to design engaging visualisations on smartphones.
A study group of 23 people were given the Affective Health prototype to use for a month. Importantly, the researchers purposely did not tell the participants what the devices were useful for. Instead, they gave guidelines that Affective Health could collect information relating to both physical and emotional reactions, how increased sweating increased the conductivity, and how this was represented by different colours. The participants were left to decide the best ways of using the technology.
The researchers found that this open design stage of the study led to some participants using the system as a tool to measure and help manage their stress levels. While others, including outstanding athletes, used the device to get information on their training and recovery programmes. Other uses included logging information on their lives and tracking emotions. But interestingly, few would use the technology for more than one purpose.
Although the open design phase helped reveal several different practices Affective Health prototypes could be used for the prototype lacked some of the functions needed to make it a good tool for a specific role—such as a sports training system, or as a stress management tool. The researchers found the need for a second, more tailored step in the design process to make devices specific to particular roles.
32. What were the participants unaware of about the prototype
A. Its function as a measuring tool.
B. Its reactions to physical activity.
C. Its colourful spiral graphics.
D. Its specified uses.
33. What interested the researchers
A. People used the device quite differently.
B. Few used the device to help better themselves.
C. Many considered the device a single-purpose tool.
D. Many purposely avoided the device’s certain functions.
34. What can be learned about Affective Health
A. It has a rising market share.
B. It causes trouble for users.
C. It lacks competitiveness.
D. It needs improvement.
35. What can be the best title for the text
A. Sweat, a Mood Detector
B. Time to Reflect on Ourselves
C. Colourful Sensors Gain Popularity
D. Technologies Interpret Biodata from the Skin

Ali and his younger sister, Zahra, lived with their parents in a poor neighborhood. Their moth- er was very sick and their father was struggling to finda job, and they had only a little money with which to buy food. As they had not paid the rent for sever al months, the landlord was breathing down their necks.
One day, Ali took Zahra's shoes to a shoe re pairman to be fixed, but he lost them on the way home. It wasn’t until he got home that he realized he had lost the shoes. He was afraid that his parents would be angry and disappointed, so he begged his sister to keep it secret. Zahra agreed and the two decided to share Ali’s running shoes. Zahra's school hours were in the morning, so she would wear them first. After school, she would rush back and give them to Ali. He could then run to his school, which began in the afternoon. Although he ran as fast as he could, Ali often arrived late and was warned by the school.
Ali heard about a long distance race that was held for the boys in the city.When he learned that the third prize was a new pair of shoes, he decided to take part. He ran home excitedly and promised his sister that he would win her the new shoes.
The day of race arrived. Ali had a strong start, but halfway through the race he began to get tired and his legs began to ache. Getting more and more exhausted he thought only of Zahra and his promise to her. Dreaming of the new shoes he would win for his sister gave him strength, and he stayed right be hind the two fastest runners, determined to finish third. Suddenly, as the finish line drew near, another runner collided(碰撞) with Ali from behind and he crashed to the ground.
Ali looked up and saw the other boys rushing ahead.
