Ehrman Crest Primary School in Pittsburgh celebrated its opening in August. Three months later, the school, was put on the annual list of best inventions by a local newspaper.
The honor focused on Ehrman Orest’s creative design. There are large maps on the walls. Some classrooms connect to the outdoors. There’s also a rooftop garden. “We didn’t set out to be a best invention,” said Tracy Vitale, a teacher in the school. “We set out simply to replace an 84-year-old building.”
Kids played a key role in creating Ehrman Crest. After adults made decisions about basics, the builders met with students. “We really push hard on, ‘What do you expect a new school to be ’ and ‘What kind of environment would you love to learn in ’” explained Michael Corb, who is with the builder CannonDesign. “We want students’ ideas on how the school should look and feel.”
CannonDesign worked with the Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh on the project Anne Fullenkamp, a director at the museum, said the design process started with kids expressing their views. “We try to pool the students’ ideas,” she said. “The kids were given plenty of materials, such as photos and different colored cards. They picked these things and created their own storyboards. Wood was important to them, because it felt natural and was comforting. And they preferred calming colors, such as blues and greens.”
The result is a school with all the excitement of a children’s museum. There are traditional classrooms, but there are also places for exploration. “It’s such a proud feeling to walk into our school,” teacher Ryan Bonicky said. “The kids are just excited about learning.”
Ehrman Crest hopes that the physical space will have a positive influence on student achievement. “We built our dream school,” said Tracy Vitale. “I think the lessons learned here are ‘Be creative as adults’ and ‘Listen to children’”
4. Why was the school reported by the local newspaper
A. It saw a fast change recently. B. It was built by the parents.
C. It had trained best students. D. It was designed creatively.
5. What does the underlined word “pool” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Influence. B. Collect. C. Review. D. Correct.
6. How did Ryan Bonicky find the newly-built school
A. Satisfying. B. Outdated. C. Costly. D. Lifeless.
7. What message did Tracy Vitale want to express at last
A. Students should be praised at times. B. Children can play a very creative role.
C. Teachers’ work is to develop students’ mind. D. A classroom is where we realize our dreams

In January, Rio Verde Foothills, an Arizona desert community, found itself in a bad situation: The water supply was cut off.
The community is made up of about 2,000 homes. For years, many in the community have depended on water trucked in from the nearby city of Scottsdale. which gets its water from the Colorado River. But the river is drying up Scottsdale says it has to save water for its own. Now people in Rio Verde Foothills must find a solution.
Some experts say the solution is to bring water from outside of the state. One idea is to build a desalination (海水淡化) plant on Mexico’s Sea of Cortez. The plant would take away salt from the water and supply that water to Arizona through a 200-mile pipeline (管道). Supporters say this could provide fresh water for about ten years.
Environmentalists say the desalination project would harm the planet in several ways. Some of the salt taken out of the Sea of Cortez might end up back in the ocean, harming wildlife. The pipeline would be harmful to land where people and animals live. And the desalination process uses lots of power. This would create greenhouse gases, which are causing the conditions that have led to Arizona’s water problems.
Margaret Wilder a professor at the. University of Arizona, says the government should focus on cutting water demand (需求) rather than increasing supply. That would mean taking water-saving measures and controlling how many homes are built in the desert. “We need to start asking questions when people present us with unproblematic and carefree solutions to the water problem,’ says Wilder.
People in Tucson, Arizona, have found a solution to the city’s water shortage: rainwater Thousands of households are collecting it and using it for cooking, for drinking, and in their gardens.
8. Why did Scottsdale cut off the water supply to Rio Verde Foothills
A. The locals wasted plenty of fresh water B. Mexico’s, Sea of Cortez has been, polluted
C. The water level in Colorado River has fallen. D. More and more people move to the community.
9. What do the environmentalists think of the desalination project
A. It could improve people’s well-being. B. It won’t solve the water shortage.
C. It can’t meet the community’s needs. D. It might be bad for the environment
10. What does Margaret Wilder probably suggest
A. Increasing the water supply. B. Taking action to save water.
C. Making the most of rainwater. D. Planting trees, on the river bank
11. Where is this text likely from
A. A newspaper. B. A guidebook. C. A diary. D. A novel.

In late June, the US government agreed to allow two companies Upside Foods and Good Mo. to sell chicken meat that has been grown in a lab. That makes the US the second country to approve (批准) lab-grown chicken.
Unlike normal chicken meat, lab-grown meat isn’t created by raising and killing chickens. Instead, it’s a meat product developed from animal cells (细胞) that are grown in a lab.
The first cells come from live animals. Scientists have known for a long time how to keep living cells alive and grow them in a lab. In this case, they choose cells that can grow quickly and will have good taste. The cells are grown inside a “cultivation (培植) room”, where they’re fed with everything they need to grow. In a few weeks, the cells grow into sheets of meat. The companies then form this meat into more familiar shapes that can be cooked and sold
The lab-grown meat is better for the environment than meat from animals. Raising animals for food uses plenty of land and water. It also creates a lot of pollution. Lab-grown meat can also help out in other ways. For one thing, raising animals for food is very hard on animals. They are often kept in small spaces, and are treated badly.
Since lab-grown meat is made from animal cells, it is very hard to tell it apart from actual meat. It looks, smells, and tastes like chicken. However, many people aren’t too interested in lab-grown meat. Lots of people believe that it just sounds strange.
Right now, the lab-grown meat is far more expensive than meat from animals. Now that the companies have been approved, they have the huge challenge of figuring out how to make much more meat far more cheaply. The two companies say the lab-grown meat will mainly be served in high-end restaurants. It will probably be a long time before you’ll be able to buy lab-grown chicken in stores
12. What makes the development of lab-grown meat possible
A. Scientists can grow and feed living cells in a lab. B. Customers prefer meat grown from animal cells.
C. Researchers provide better food for animals. D. Animals are much easier to be raised indoors.
13 What can we know about the lab-grown meat.
A. It’s helpful to cut costs. B. It creates lots of pollution.
C. It causes animals to suffer. D. It’s environment-friendly.
14. What is a problem facing the two companies at the moment
A. They fail to collect enough animal cells. B. It’s difficult to produce delicious meat.
C. Customers dislike the lab-grown meat. D. It takes a long time to get final approval.
15. Which can be a suitable title for the text
A. Actual Meat Still Remains People’s First Choice B. Scientists Manage to Turn Cells into Tasty Meat
C. The US Approved Meat Grown from Animal Cells D. Lab-grown Chicken Will be on the Market Soon

Walking might seem simple. “But it’s not” explains Peggy Cawthon, a professor at Harvard Medical School. “It’s an amazingly complex behavior when we try to understand how to improve our lives as we age.” ____16____ Here are a few ideas.
Don’t stop exercising
Cawthon agrees that the worst thing a person can do is to stop exercising. “You’ll feel the effects almost immediately,” says Cawthon. Sitting for hours leaves her uncomfortable, and it’s the days when she types that her arthritis (关节炎) doesn’t cause much pain. ____17____.
Train yourself to walk with skill
To truly improve your walking, you need to think like an athlete. Imagine you want to play tennis, but you have a bad backhand. Playing lots of tennis won’t fix the problem, Cawthon says. ____18____. It’s the same thing with walking.
Give your brain a boost (激励)
____19____. So don’t forget that when working out your fitness plan. Cawthon has been studying an area of the brain related to motivation (动机) and executive function. Subjects with a boost walk more steps on average than the control group, and they have been maintaining that even several months later.
____20____
So when should we face the music about our mobility There is no final answer for when walking problems begin to come up. “You should be as active as you can at any age” Cawthon says, noting that people who are healthy in their 20s and 30s are best equipped to deal with future age-related challenges. “The best time to start is now. Next best is tomorrow,” she says.

When my daughter. Rachel was 6 years old, we went to the local shelter, looking for a perfect cat. We liked all the cats we saw there, but we especially loved one that was black with a small white tip to her tail, like a bright star in the night sky. We brought her home and called her Starry.
Starry was lovely. At night when we watched TV, she would come into Rachel’s lap and comfortably stay there. Starry always got her face close to Rachel’s, ending her love with a gentle touch on Rachel’s nose. Sometimes I felt so jealous (忌妒的) of their love. Although I was the one who tank care of the cat, feeding and cleaning it, Starry was clearly Rachel’s cat. Finally, I came to love watching their close relationship
My little girl grew up and went to senior high school. Starry and Rachel were still close, though Rachel spent less and less time at home. starry spent most of her day sitting on the sideboard in the dining room, looking out of the window into the backyard. I loved seeing her as I passed by her, for her shiny black coat almost sparkled (闪烁) in the sunlight and the white tip of her tail looked bright against the shining black of her body.
One Sunday morning, early in November, Starry got out of, the room before we could stop her. When Rachel came home from school, she went into the room with a worried expression. “Where’s Starry ” she asked. When we told her we didn’t know, she led us outside with her. There was a black cat lying on the street.

After adults made decisions about basics, the builders met with students. “We really push hard on, ‘What do you expect a new school to be ’ and ‘What kind of environment would you love to learn in ’” explained Michael Corb, who is with the builder CannonDesign. “We want students’ ideas on how the school should look and feel.”
CannonDesign worked with the Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh on the project Anne Fullenkamp, a director at the museum, said the design process started with kids expressing their views. “We try to pool the students’ ideas,” she said. “The kids were given plenty of materials, such as photos and different colored cards. They picked these things and created their own storyboards. Wood was important to them, because it felt natural and was comforting. And they preferred calming colors, such as blues and greens.”
The result is a school with all the excitement of a children’s museum. There are traditional classrooms, but there are also places for exploration. “It’s such a proud feeling to walk into our school,” teacher Ryan Bonicky said. “The kids are just excited about learning.”
Ehrman Crest hopes that the physical space will have a positive influence on student achievement. “We built our dream school,” said Tracy Vitale. “I think the lessons learned here are ‘Be creative as adults’ and ‘Listen to children’”
4. Why was the school reported by the local newspaper
A. It saw a fast change recently. B. It was built by the parents.
C. It had trained best students. D. It was designed creatively.
5. What does the underlined word “pool” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Influence. B. Collect. C. Review. D. Correct.
6. How did Ryan Bonicky find the newly-built school
A. Satisfying. B. Outdated. C. Costly. D. Lifeless.
7. What message did Tracy Vitale want to express at last
A. Students should be praised at times. B. Children can play a very creative role.
C. Teachers’ work is to develop students’ mind. D. A classroom is where we realize our dreams
【答案】4. D 5. B 6. A 7. B

In January, Rio Verde Foothills, an Arizona desert community, found itself in a bad situation: The water supply was cut off.
The community is made up of about 2,000 homes. For years, many in the community have depended on water trucked in from the nearby city of Scottsdale. which gets its water from the Colorado River. But the river is drying up Scottsdale says it has to save water for its own. Now people in Rio Verde Foothills must find a solution.
Some experts say the solution is to bring water from outside of the state. One idea is to build a desalination (海水淡化) plant on Mexico’s Sea of Cortez. The plant would take away salt from the water and supply that water to Arizona through a 200-mile pipeline (管道). Supporters say this could provide fresh water for about ten years.
Environmentalists say the desalination project would harm the planet in several ways. Some of the salt taken out of the Sea of Cortez might end up back in the ocean, harming wildlife. The pipeline would be harmful to land where people and animals live. And the desalination process uses lots of power. This would create greenhouse gases, which are causing the conditions that have led to Arizona’s water problems.
Margaret Wilder, a professor at the. University of Arizona, says the government should focus on cutting water demand (需求) rather than increasing supply. That would mean taking water-saving measures and controlling how many homes are built in the desert. “We need to start asking questions when people present us with unproblematic and carefree solutions to the water problem,’ says Wilder.
People in Tucson, Arizona, have found a solution to the city’s water shortage: rainwater Thousands of households are collecting it and using it for cooking, for drinking, and in their gardens.
8. Why did Scottsdale cut off the water supply to Rio Verde Foothills
A. The locals wasted plenty of fresh water B. Mexico’s, Sea of Cortez has been, polluted
C. The water level in Colorado River has fallen. D. More and more people move to the community.
9. What do the environmentalists think of the desalination project
A. It could improve people’s well-being. B. It won’t solve the water shortage.
C. It can’t meet the community’s needs. D. It might be bad for the environment
10. What does Margaret Wilder probably suggest
A. Increasing the water supply. B. Taking action to save water.
C. Making the most of rainwater. D. Planting trees, on the river bank
11. Where is this text likely from
A. A newspaper. B. A guidebook. C. A diary. D. A novel.
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. B 11. A
【解析】

In late June, the US government agreed to allow two companies Upside Foods and Good Mo. to sell chicken meat that has been grown in a lab. That makes the US the second country to approve (批准) lab-grown chicken.
Unlike normal chicken meat, lab-grown meat isn’t created by raising and killing chickens. Instead, it’s a meat product developed from animal cells (细胞) that are grown in a lab.
The first cells come from live animals. Scientists have known for a long time how to keep living cells alive and grow them in a lab. In this case, they choose cells that can grow quickly and will have good taste. The cells are grown inside a “cultivation (培植) room”, where they’re fed with everything they need to grow. In a few weeks, the cells grow into sheets of meat. The companies then form this meat into more familiar shapes that can be cooked and sold
The lab-grown meat is better for the environment than meat from animals. Raising animals for food uses plenty of land and water. It also creates a lot of pollution. Lab-grown meat can also help out in other ways. For one thing, raising animals for food is very hard on animals. They are often kept in small spaces, and are treated badly.
Since lab-grown meat is made from animal cells, it is very hard to tell it apart from actual meat. It looks, smells, and tastes like chicken. However, many people aren’t too interested in lab-grown meat. Lots of people believe that it just sounds strange.
Right now, the lab-grown meat is far more expensive than meat from animals. Now that the companies have been approved, they have the huge challenge of figuring out how to make much more meat far more cheaply. The two companies say the lab-grown meat will mainly be served in high-end restaurants. It will probably be a long time before you’ll be able to buy lab-grown chicken in stores
12. What makes the development of lab-grown meat possible
A. Scientists can grow and feed living cells in a lab. B. Customers prefer meat grown from animal cells.
C. Researchers provide better food for animals. D. Animals are much easier to be raised indoors.
13. What can we know about the lab-grown meat.
A. It’s helpful to cut costs. B. It creates lots of pollution.
C. It causes animals to suffer. D. It’s environment-friendly.
14. What is a problem facing the two companies at the moment
A. They fail to collect enough animal cells. B. It’s difficult to produce delicious meat.
C. Customers dislike the lab-grown meat. D. It takes a long time to get final approval.
15. Which can be a suitable title for the text
A. Actual Meat Still Remains People’s First Choice B. Scientists Manage to Turn Cells into Tasty Meat
C. The US Approved Meat Grown from Animal Cells D. Lab-grown Chicken Will be on the Market Soon
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. C 15. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了美国政府正式批准“人造肉”进入市场销售。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Scientists have known for a long time how to keep living cells alive and grow them in a lab. In this case, they choose cells that can grow quickly and will have good taste.(科学家们很早就知道如何让活细胞存活并在实验室中培养它们。在这种情况下，他们会选择生长速度快、味道好的细胞)”可知，科学家可以在实验室里培育活细胞让实验室培育肉成为可能。故选A。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“The lab-grown meat is better for the environment than meat from animals. Raising animals for food uses plenty of land and water. It also creates a lot of pollution.(实验室培育的肉比动物肉更环保。饲养动物作为食物需要大量的土地和水。它也造成了很多污染)”可知，实验室培育的肉是环保的。故选D。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“However, many people aren’t too interested in lab-grown meat. Lots of people believe that it just sounds strange.(然而，许多人对实验室培育的肉不太感兴趣。很多人认为这听起来很奇怪)”可知，两家公司目前面临的问题是顾客不喜欢实验室培育的肉。故选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“In late June, the US government agreed to allow two companies Upside Foods and Good Mo. to sell chicken meat that has been grown in a lab. That makes the US the second country to approve (批准) lab-grown chicken.(6月下旬，美国政府同意允许两家公司上行食品公司和好莫公司销售实验室培育的鸡肉。这使美国成为第二个批准实验室培育鸡肉的国家)”结合文章主要介绍了美国政府正式批准“人造肉”进入市场销售。由此可知，C选项“美国批准用动物细胞培育肉类”最符合文章标题。故选C。

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。
Walking might seem simple. “But it’s not,” explains Peggy Cawthon, a professor at Harvard Medical School. “It’s an amazingly complex behavior when we try to understand how to improve our lives as we age.” ____16____ Here are a few ideas.
Don’t stop exercising
Cawthon agrees that the worst thing a person can do is to stop exercising. “You’ll feel the effects almost immediately,” says Cawthon. Sitting for hours leaves her uncomfortable, and it’s the days when she types that her arthritis (关节炎) doesn’t cause much pain. ____17____.
Train yourself to walk with skill
To truly improve your walking, you need to think like an athlete. Imagine you want to play tennis, but you have a bad backhand. Playing lots of tennis won’t fix the problem, Cawthon says. ____18____. It’s the same thing with walking.
Give your brain a boost (激励)
____19____. So don’t forget that when working out your fitness plan. Cawthon has been studying an area of the brain related to motivation (动机) and executive function. Subjects with a boost walk more steps on average than the control group, and they have been maintaining that even several months later.
____20____
So when should we face the music about our mobility There is no final answer for when walking problems begin to come up. “You should be as active as you can at any age,” Cawthon says, noting that people who are healthy in their 20s and 30s are best equipped to deal with future age-related challenges. “The best time to start is now. Next best is tomorrow,” she says.
A. Start planning now
B. Be in pretty good shape
C. You need to improve your skill
D. So what steps should we take to do it right
E. How can you sweat your way to good health
F. It is a helpful reminder that our bodies need action
G. Basically, the body part controlling everything is your brain
【答案】16. D 17. F 18. C 19. G 20. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。哈佛医学院教授Peggy Cawthon给我们指出了四点有关走路锻炼的建议。
【16题详解】
根据问号可知，这里是一个问句。根据前文“It’s an amazingly complex behavior when we try to understand how to improve our lives as we age.(当我们试图了解如何随着年龄的增长而改善我们的生活时，这是一种令人惊讶的复杂行为。)”和后文“Here are a few ideas.(以下是一些想法。)”可知，空处应是询问应该如何做，D项“那么，我们应该采取什么措施才能做到这一点呢”符合题意。故选D。
【17题详解】
根据本段的小标题“Don’t stop exercising(不要停止锻炼)”和前文“Sitting for hours leaves her uncomfortable, and it’s the days when she types that her arthritis(关节炎) doesn’t cause much pain.(坐上几个小时会让她感到不舒服，而且正是在她打字的日子里，她的关节炎不会引起太多疼痛。)”可知，本段主要讲述的是不要停止锻炼，并指出久坐不动会不舒服，而用打字来活动手指可以让关节炎有所减轻；由此可知，空处承接前文，应是说这提醒了我们需要运动，F项“这是一个有益的提醒：我们的身体需要动起来”符合题意。故选F。
【18题详解】
根据本段小标题“Train yourself to walk with skill(用技能训练自己走路)”可知，关键词是“skill”。前文“Imagine you want to play tennis, but you have a bad backhand. Playing lots of tennis won’t fix the problem, Cawthon says.(想象一下，你想打网球，但你的反手打得不好。Cawthon说，打很多网球并不能解决问题。)”讲述了打网球时不能靠多打网球来解决自己的反手问题，所以空处应是说要提高技能，C项“你需要提高你的技能”符合题意。故选C。
【19题详解】
根据本段小标题“Give your brain a boost(激励)(给大脑激励)”可知，关键词是“brain”和“boost”。再结合下文中的“Cawthon has been studying an area of the brain related to motivation(动机) and executive function.(Cawthon一直在研究大脑中与动机和执行功能相关的一个区域。)”可知，大脑控制一切，G项“基本上，控制一切的身体部分是你的大脑”符合题意。故选G。
【20题详解】
空处是本段小标题，根据上文小标题的形式可知，这里应用祈使句。根据下文中的“The best time to start is now. Next best is tomorrow(最好的开始时间是现在。其次是明天)”可知，本段建议要从现在开始，A项“立即开始计划”符合题意。故选A。

Starry was lovely. At night when we watched TV, she would come into Rachel’s lap and comfortably stay there. Starry always got her face close to Rachel’s, ending her love with a gentle touch on Rachel’s nose. Sometimes I felt so jealous (忌妒的) of their love. Although I was the one who tank care of the cat, feeding and cleaning it, Starry was clearly Rachel’s cat. Finally, I came to love watching their close relationship
My little girl grew up and went to senior high school. Starry and Rachel were still close, though Rachel spent less and less time at home. starry spent most of her day sitting on the sideboard in the dining room, looking out of the window into the backyard. I loved seeing her as I passed by her, for her shiny black coat almost sparkled (闪烁) in the sunlight and the white tip of her tail looked bright against the shining black of her body.
One Sunday morning, early in November, Starry got out of, the room before we could stop her. When Rachel came home from school, she went into the room with a worried expression. “Where’s Starry ” she asked. When we told her we didn’t know, she led us outside with her. There was a black cat lying on the street.
