Marian Bechtel sits at West Palm Beach’s Bar Louie counter by herself, quietly reading her e-book as she waits for her salad. What is she reading None of your business! Lunch is Bechtel’s “me” time. And like more Americans, she’s not alone.
A new report found 46 percent of meals are eaten alone in America. More than half （53 percent） have breakfast alone and nearly half（46 percent） have lunch by themselves. Only at dinnertime are we eating together anymore,74 percent, according to statistics（数据） from the report.
“I prefer to go out and be out. Alone, but together, you know ” Bechtel said, looking up from her book. Bechtel, who works in downtown West Palm Beach, has lunch with coworkers sometimes, but like many of us, too often works through lunch at her desk. A lunchtime escape allows her to keep a boss from tapping her on the shoulder. She returns to work feeling energized. “Today, I just wanted some time to myself,” she said.
Just two seats over, Andrew Mazoleny, a local videographer, is finishing his lunch at the bar. He likes that he can sit and check his phone in peace or chat up the barkeeper with whom he’s on a first-name basis if he wants to have a little interaction（交流）.“I reflect on how my day’s gone and think about the rest of the week,” he said. “It’s a chance for self-reflection. You return to work recharged and with a plan.”
That freedom to choose is one reason more people like to eat alone. There was a time when people may have felt awkward about asking for a table for one, but those days are over. Now, we have our smartphones to keep us company at the table. “It doesn’t feel as alone as it may have before all the advances in technology,” said Laurie Demerit, whose company provided the statistics for the report.
24. What are the statistics in paragraph 2 about
A. Food variety. B. Eating habits. C. Table manners. D. Restaurant service.
25. Why does Bechtel prefer to go out for lunch
A. To meet with her coworkers. B. To catch up with her work.
C. To have some time on her own. D. To collect data for her report.
26. What do we know about Mazoleny
A. He makes videos for the bar. B. He’s fond of the food at the bar.
C. He interview s customers at the bar. D. He’s familiar with the barkeeper.
27. What is the text mainly about
A. The trend of having meals alone. B. The importance of self-reflection.
C. The stress from working overtime. D. The advantage of wireless technology.
C
When a leafy plant is under attack, it doesn’t sit quietly. Back in 1983, two scientists, Jack Schultz and Ian Baldwin, reported that young maple trees getting bitten by insects send out a particular smell that neighboring plants can get. These chemicals come from the injured parts of the plant and seem to be an alarm. What the plants pump through the air is a mixture of chemicals known as volatile organic compounds, VOCs for short.
Scientists have found that all kinds of plants give out VOCs when being attacked. It’s a plant’s way of crying out. But is anyone listening Apparently. Because we can watch the neighbors react.
Some plants pump out smelly chemicals to keep insects away. But others do double duty. They pump out perfumes designed to attract different insects who are natural enemies to the attackers. Once they arrive, the tables are turned. The attacker who was lunching now becomes lunch.
In study after study, it appears that these chemical conversations help the neighbors. The damage is usually more serious on the first plant, but the neighbors, relatively speaking, stay safer because they heard the alarm and knew what to do.
Does this mean that plants talk to each other Scientists don’t know. Maybe the first plant just made a cry of pain or was sending a message to its own branches, and so, in effect, was talking to itself. Perhaps the neighbors just happened to “overhear” the cry. So information was exchanged, but it wasn’t a true, intentional back and forth.
Charles Darwin, over 150 years ago, imagined a world far busier, noisier and more intimate（亲密的） than the world we can see and hear. Our senses are weak. There’s a whole lot going on.
28. What does a plant do when it is under attack
A. It makes noises. B. It gets help from other plants.
C. It stands quietly. D. It sends out certain chemicals.
.29. What does the author mean by “the tables are turned” in paragraph 3
A. The attackers get attacked. B. The insects gather under the table.
C. The plants get ready to fight back. D. The perfumes attract natural enemies.
30. What do scientists find about plants from their studies
A. Plants can predict natural disasters.
B. Plants can protect themselves against insects.
C. Plants can talk to one another intentionally.
D. Plants can help their neighbors when necessary.
31. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A. The world is changing faster than ever.
B. People have stronger senses than before.
C. The world is more complex than it seems.
D. People in Darwin’s time were more imaginative.
D
Want to help butterflies A new study suggests turning off the lights.
Light pollution at night can disturb its abilities to recognize directions, researchers have found. Artificial light can disrupt their circadian（昼夜节律的） rhythms and affect their sense of directions. That can make the butterflies disoriented when they try to fly the next day.
“Darkness is important to butterflies since the internal circadian clock of butterflies functions normally when they are exposed to natural day-night lighting cycles,” study author Patrick Guerra, an assistant professor at the University of Cincinnati, tells Treehugger.
Monarch butterflies migrate by the millions each year, making the trip from northern areas of the continent to California and Mexico and back. Because most butterflies only live for a few weeks to a few months, it takes several generations of butterflies to complete the migration. But too much light at the wrong time can urge the butterflies to take off when they should be resting instead for their voyage.
“As monarch butterflies are a threatened species with their population numbers in decline, we wanted to see what types of environment al stress might be linked to their decline,” Guerra says.
For their study, researchers conducted lab studies where they reproduced the effects of artificial light pollution with butterflies using a flight simulator（模拟器）.
They first tested if monarchs treated a single, artificial light source as if it were the actual sun during the day. Once they established what they did, they then tested how the monarch s would behave when exposed to this same artificial light source during their night.
Butterflies stayed quiet and unmoving when they were first placed in the flight simulator in the dark. But as soon as scientists turned on the light, they started flying. The light made them believe that night was day and this can cause them to fly longer at night or start flying too early.
“These findings demonstrate how urbanization can negatively affect important biological phenomena, and therefore allow us to understand how human activity impacts the rest of nature,” Guerra says.
32. What does the underlined word “disoriented” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Slowed down. B. Died off.
C. Felt sleepy. D. Got lost.
33. What did the researchers want to find out in the study
A. Why monarch butterflies migrate.
B. What reduced the number of monarch butterflies.
C. Why darkness is important to monarch butterflies.
D. How monarch butterflies adapt to the environment.
34. What might be used in the experiment
A. A flashlight. B. The sun.
C. The moon. D. A clock.
35. What can be the best title for the text
A. Natural Light Is Important to Insects
B. Monarch Butterflies Are in Great Danger
C. Butterflies React Actively to Light Pollution
D. Light Pollution Can Affect Butterfly Migration
第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
It’s not always easy to run an energy-efficient house. But there are some simple things anyone can do.
Go LED with your lighting.
There are several benefits of switching to energy-efficient light bulbs. One of them is saving money—though the LED bulbs might cost more than traditional bulbs, the average saving on LED bulbs is $75 a year. 36LED bulbs can last years or even decades.
Don’t run your air conditioner constantly.
As the weather begins to warm, you might be thinking about the right time to turn on your air conditioner. 37 Air conditioner units are among the most energy consuming appliances in your home. Using electrical fans instead of your air conditioner is much more efficient（高效的） and it’s a big money saver, too.
38
On those days when you treat a large crowd and are low on time, don’t beat yourself up if you have to use disposable（一次性的） dishware. This method reduces your water usage and saves energy. And as a bonus, if your city offers roadside recycling, your paper plates may qualify.
Update your insulation（隔热）.
All that work you’re doing to save energy in your home could go to waste if it’s not properly insulated. If you can’t insulate the whole house, pay special attention to the roof: it reduces air flow from outside. By updating your insulation, you’re saving money. 39
Take showers instead of baths.
A full bathtub requires about 70 gallons of water. 40 Showers are quite different taking a five minute shower uses only 10 to 25 gallons!
A. But do you really have to
B. Turn off water when not using it.
C. Don’t feel ashamed about using paper plates.
D. You should use your air conditioner smartly.
E. Besides, you needn’t change them frequently.
F. And it’s also easier to control your home temperature.
G. Even if you don’t fill it to the top, it still uses much more water.

International Friendship Day is a day when friends show 56 （appreciate） for one another.
In 1919, International Friendship Day 57 （found） by Hallmark. It was intended to be a day for people 58 （celebrate） their friendship by sending each other cards. By 1940 the market had dried up, and finally, it died out completely. In April 2011, the United Nations 59 （official） recognized 30th July as International Friendship Day, although most countries still celebrate it 60 the first Sunday of August!
On International Friendship Day, taking a trip together to celebrate is an excellent way to make the day all about each other. You can visit places 61 you first met or go to wherever you promised each other to go. With so many people 62 （live） such busy lives, however, not everyone can plan a big day out for each other. But that’s what makes International Friendship Day such a 63 （wonder） time. Best friends understand that life often gets in the way, so they won’t be upset if there’s no big celebration in their honor. Moreover, with 64 rise of social media, we become more 65 （connect） than ever before, so International Friendship Day just gives everyone the chance to get together.
第四部分 任务型阅读（共两节，满分20分）
How many hands
Do you know the saying “Many hands make light work” Well, my sister Pippa and I figured that out the disastrous（灾难性的） way.
We love to skate, so when Mom said that she was taking us to the indoor ice-skating rink（冰场）, we were excited. The next second saw us racing outside and scrambling（争抢） to get into the car.
“I bet I’m still faster than you,” I laughed at Pippa, reminding her of the last time at the rink when she fell far behind and was reduced to tears.
“You wish. I’ve been practicing on my inline skates every day for weeks, and I’m definitely faster than you now,” she replied confidently. Arguing was second nature to us.
“You two are too competitive for your own good, and if you’re determined to race, then you can stay away from me,” Mom said.
We should have listened. Pippa and I were both determined to prove who was faster. As soon as we arrived, we laced up our skates and hit the ice. We skated in circles to warm up, and then we danced and spun（旋转） and did anything we could to show our exceptional skills. But that soon got tiresome, and it was time to put our boasting（自夸） to the test.
“Race you to Mom,” I challenged Pippa as I sped away. Skates flashing, we raced across the ice, me leading, then Pippa, then me, then...
BANG! We smashed（撞击） straight into Mom!
We ended up at the hospital, me with a cracked elbow（肘部）, Pippa with a wrist sprain（扭伤）, and Mom with a torn knee ligament（韧带）, She was not impressed.
When we got home, Mom said, “Your ridiculous competing got us into this mess, so you can just cooperate for once and figure out how to get us out of it.”
We were confused and asked her at the same time, “What do you mean ”
“I obviously can’t move around very well,” she said, “so you two can start by bringing in the laundry, and then we’ll tackle dinner.”

Marian Bechtel sits at West Palm Beach’s Bar Louie counter by herself, quietly reading her e-book as she waits for her salad. What is she reading None of your business! Lunch is Bechtel’s “me” time. And like more Americans, she’s not alone.
A new report found 46 percent of meals are eaten alone in America. More than half （53 percent） have breakfast alone and nearly half（46 percent） have lunch by themselves. Only at dinnertime are we eating together anymore,74 percent, according to statistics（数据） from the report.
“I prefer to go out and be out. Alone, but together, you know ” Bechtel said, looking up from her book. Bechtel, who works in downtown West Palm Beach, has lunch with coworkers sometimes, but like many of us, too often works through lunch at her desk. A lunchtime escape allows her to keep a boss from tapping her on the shoulder. She returns to work feeling energized. “Today, I just wanted some time to myself,” she said.
Just two seats over, Andrew Mazoleny, a local videographer, is finishing his lunch at the bar. He likes that he can sit and check his phone in peace or chat up the barkeeper with whom he’s on a first-name basis if he wants to have a little interaction（交流）.“I reflect on how my day’s gone and think about the rest of the week,” he said. “It’s a chance for self-reflection. You return to work recharged and with a plan.”
That freedom to choose is one reason more people like to eat alone. There was a time when people may have felt awkward about asking for a table for one, but those days are over. Now, we have our smartphones to keep us company at the table. “It doesn’t feel as alone as it may have before all the advances in technology,” said Laurie Demerit, whose company provided the statistics for the report.
24. What are the statistics in paragraph 2 about
A. Food variety. B. Eating habits. C. Table manners. D. Restaurant service.
25. Why does Bechtel prefer to go out for lunch
A. To meet with her coworkers. B. To catch up with her work.
C. To have some time on her own. D. To collect data for her report.
26. What do we know about Mazoleny
A. He makes videos for the bar. B. He’s fond of the food at the bar.
C. He interview s customers at the bar. D. He’s familiar with the barkeeper.
27. What is the text mainly about
A. The trend of having meals alone. B. The importance of self-reflection.
C. The stress from working overtime. D. The advantage of wireless technology.

When a leafy plant is under attack, it doesn’t sit quietly. Back in 1983, two scientists, Jack Schultz and Ian Baldwin, reported that young maple trees getting bitten by insects send out a particular smell that neighboring plants can get. These chemicals come from the injured parts of the plant and seem to be an alarm. What the plants pump through the air is a mixture of chemicals known as volatile organic compounds, VOCs for short.
Scientists have found that all kinds of plants give out VOCs when being attacked. It’s a plant’s way of crying out. But is anyone listening Apparently. Because we can watch the neighbors react.
Some plants pump out smelly chemicals to keep insects away. But others do double duty. They pump out perfumes designed to attract different insects who are natural enemies to the attackers. Once they arrive, the tables are turned. The attacker who was lunching now becomes lunch.
In study after study, it appears that these chemical conversations help the neighbors. The damage is usually more serious on the first plant, but the neighbors, relatively speaking, stay safer because they heard the alarm and knew what to do.
Does this mean that plants talk to each other Scientists don’t know. Maybe the first plant just made a cry of pain or was sending a message to its own branches, and so, in effect, was talking to itself. Perhaps the neighbors just happened to “overhear” the cry. So information was exchanged, but it wasn’t a true, intentional back and forth.
Charles Darwin, over 150 years ago, imagined a world far busier, noisier and more intimate（亲密的） than the world we can see and hear. Our senses are weak. There’s a whole lot going on.
28. What does a plant do when it is under attack
A. It makes noises. B. It gets help from other plants.
C. It stands quietly. D. It sends out certain chemicals.
.29. What does the author mean by “the tables are turned” in paragraph 3
A. The attackers get attacked. B. The insects gather under the table.
C. The plants get ready to fight back. D. The perfumes attract natural enemies.
30. What do scientists find about plants from their studies
A. Plants can predict natural disasters.
B. Plants can protect themselves against insects.
C. Plants can talk to one another intentionally.
D. Plants can help their neighbors when necessary.
31. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A. The world is changing faster than ever.
B. People have stronger senses than before.
C. The world is more complex than it seems.
D. People in Darwin’s time were more imaginative.
D
Want to help butterflies A new study suggests turning off the lights.
Light pollution at night can disturb its abilities to recognize directions, researchers have found. Artificial light can disrupt their circadian（昼夜节律的） rhythms and affect their sense of directions. That can make the butterflies disoriented when they try to fly the next day.
“Darkness is important to butterflies since the internal circadian clock of butterflies functions normally when they are exposed to natural day-night lighting cycles,” study author Patrick Guerra, an assistant professor at the University of Cincinnati, tells Treehugger.
Monarch butterflies migrate by the millions each year, making the trip from northern areas of the continent to California and Mexico and back. Because most butterflies only live for a few weeks to a few months, it takes several generations of butterflies to complete the migration. But too much light at the wrong time can urge the butterflies to take off when they should be resting instead for their voyage.
“As monarch butterflies are a threatened species with their population numbers in decline, we wanted to see what types of environment al stress might be linked to their decline,” Guerra says.
For their study, researchers conducted lab studies where they reproduced the effects of artificial light pollution with butterflies using a flight simulator（模拟器）.
They first tested if monarchs treated a single, artificial light source as if it were the actual sun during the day. Once they established what they did, they then tested how the monarch s would behave when exposed to this same artificial light source during their night.
Butterflies stayed quiet and unmoving when they were first placed in the flight simulator in the dark. But as soon as scientists turned on the light, they started flying. The light made them believe that night was day and this can cause them to fly longer at night or start flying too early.
“These findings demonstrate how urbanization can negatively affect important biological phenomena, and therefore allow us to understand how human activity impacts the rest of nature,” Guerra says.
32. What does the underlined word “disoriented” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Slowed down. B. Died off.
C. Felt sleepy. D. Got lost.
33. What did the researchers want to find out in the study
A. Why monarch butterflies migrate.
B. What reduced the number of monarch butterflies.
C. Why darkness is important to monarch butterflies.
D. How monarch butterflies adapt to the environment.
34. What might be used in the experiment
A. A flashlight. B. The sun.
C. The moon. D. A clock.
35. What can be the best title for the text
A. Natural Light Is Important to Insects
B. Monarch Butterflies Are in Great Danger
C. Butterflies React Actively to Light Pollution
D. Light Pollution Can Affect Butterfly Migration

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
It’s not always easy to run an energy-efficient house. But there are some simple things anyone can do.
Go LED with your lighting.
There are several benefits of switching to energy-efficient light bulbs. One of them is saving money—though the LED bulbs might cost more than traditional bulbs, the average saving on LED bulbs is $75 a year. 36LED bulbs can last years or even decades.
Don’t run your air conditioner constantly.
As the weather begins to warm, you might be thinking about the right time to turn on your air conditioner. 37 Air conditioner units are among the most energy consuming appliances in your home. Using electrical fans instead of your air conditioner is much more efficient（高效的） and it’s a big money saver, too.
38
On those days when you treat a large crowd and are low on time, don’t beat yourself up if you have to use disposable（一次性的） dishware. This method reduces your water usage and saves energy. And as a bonus, if your city offers roadside recycling, your paper plates may qualify.
Update your insulation（隔热）.
All that work you’re doing to save energy in your home could go to waste if it’s not properly insulated. If you can’t insulate the whole house, pay special attention to the roof: it reduces air flow from outside. By updating your insulation, you’re saving money. 39
Take showers instead of baths.
A full bathtub requires about 70 gallons of water. 40 Showers are quite different taking a five minute shower uses only 10 to 25 gallons!
A. But do you really have to
B. Turn off water when not using it.
C. Don’t feel ashamed about using paper plates.
D. You should use your air conditioner smartly.
E. Besides, you needn’t change them frequently.
F. And it’s also easier to control your home temperature.
G. Even if you don’t fill it to the top, it still uses much more water.

International Friendship Day is a day when friends show 56 （appreciate） for one another.
In 1919, International Friendship Day 57 （found） by Hallmark. It was intended to be a day for people 58 （celebrate） their friendship by sending each other cards. By 1940 the market had dried up, and finally, it died out completely. In April 2011, the United Nations 59 （official） recognized 30th July as International Friendship Day, although most countries still celebrate it 60 the first Sunday of August!
On International Friendship Day, taking a trip together to celebrate is an excellent way to make the day all about each other. You can visit places 61 you first met or go to wherever you promised each other to go. With so many people 62 （live） such busy lives, however, not everyone can plan a big day out for each other. But that’s what makes International Friendship Day such a 63 （wonder） time. Best friends understand that life often gets in the way, so they won’t be upset if there’s no big celebration in their honor. Moreover, with 64 rise of social media, we become more 65 （connect） than ever before, so International Friendship Day just gives everyone the chance to get together.

How many hands
Do you know the saying “Many hands make light work” Well, my sister Pippa and I figured that out the disastrous（灾难性的） way.
We love to skate, so when Mom said that she was taking us to the indoor ice-skating rink（冰场）, we were excited. The next second saw us racing outside and scrambling（争抢） to get into the car.
“I bet I’m still faster than you,” I laughed at Pippa, reminding her of the last time at the rink when she fell far behind and was reduced to tears.
“You wish. I’ve been practicing on my inline skates every day for weeks, and I’m definitely faster than you now,” she replied confidently. Arguing was second nature to us.
“You two are too competitive for your own good, and if you’re determined to race, then you can stay away from me,” Mom said.
We should have listened. Pippa and I were both determined to prove who was faster. As soon as we arrived, we laced up our skates and hit the ice. We skated in circles to warm up, and then we danced and spun（旋转） and did anything we could to show our exceptional skills. But that soon got tiresome, and it was time to put our boasting（自夸） to the test.
“Race you to Mom,” I challenged Pippa as I sped away. Skates flashing, we raced across the ice, me leading, then Pippa, then me, then...
BANG! We smashed（撞击） straight into Mom!
We ended up at the hospital, me with a cracked elbow（肘部）, Pippa with a wrist sprain（扭伤）, and Mom with a torn knee ligament（韧带）, She was not impressed.
When we got home, Mom said, “Your ridiculous competing got us into this mess, so you can just cooperate for once and figure out how to get us out of it.”
We were confused and asked her at the same time, “What do you mean ”
“I obviously can’t move around very well,” she said, “so you two can start by bringing in the laundry, and then we’ll tackle dinner.”
