◎ Palace of Versailles, France

推理判断题。根据第一段“The royal homes of kings and emperors reflect their architecture style and wealth. Today most of greatest palaces become worldwide popular tourist attractions. Visiting such great palaces helps to explore history of kingdom and the lifestyle of a time. Here is the list of 4 most amazing palaces in the world.(国王和皇帝的皇家住宅反映了他们的建筑风格和财富。如今，大多数最伟大的宫殿已成为世界各地受欢迎的旅游景点。参观如此宏伟的宫殿有助于探索王国的历史和时代的生活方式。这是世界上最令人惊叹的 4 座宫殿的列表)”可知，文章主要为游客介绍了世界上4座最令人惊叹的宫殿。由此推知，文章是写给那些热衷于历史建筑的游客。故选B。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据◎ Potala Palace, China部分中的“The palace remained as the tallest building in the world from 1653 to 1889, and you can see entire Lhasa from the roof of the palace.(从1653年到1889年，这座宫殿一直是世界上最高的建筑，从宫殿的屋顶可以看到整个拉萨)”和◎ Alhambra Palace, Spain部分中的“This originally whitewashed palace, standing tall at hilltop for centuries of baking in sunlight, takes on a reddish look, with a view over the city.(这座原本粉刷成白色的宫殿高高矗立在山顶，经过几个世纪的阳光烘烤，呈现出淡红色的外观，可以俯瞰整个城市)”可知，要俯瞰整个城市，你可以探索Potala Palace和Alhambra Palace。故选B。
【3题详解】
细节理解题。根据◎ Pena Palace, Portugal部分中的“But it suffered severe damages by 1755’s Lisbon earthquake. King Ferdinand II transformed those ruins into a beautiful palace, which is recognized for its Romanticism style.(但在1755年的里斯本地震中，它遭受了严重破坏。斐迪南二世国王将这些废墟改造成一座美丽的宫殿，以其浪漫主义风格而闻名)”可知，Pena Palace曾经在经历一次自然灾害后被修复了。故选A。
B
The classroom, the bathroom, the outdoors — my smart phone is always in hand as if it were some magic self-defense tool capable of protecting me from all evil in the world. I also love my laptop, because it holds all of my writing and thoughts. Despite this love of technology, I know that there are times when I need to move away from these devices and truly communicate with others.
On occasion, I teach History Matters for a group of higher education managers. My goals for the class include a full discussion of historical themes and ideas. Because I want students to thoroughly study the materials and exchange their ideas in the classroom, I have a rule — no laptop, iPads, phones, etc. When students were told my rule in advance, some of them were not happy.
Most students assume that my reasons for this rule include unpleasant experiences with students misusing technology. There’s a bit of truth to that. Some assume that I am anti-technology. There’s no truth in that at all. I love technology and try to keep up with it, so I can relate to my students. The real reason is that I think there are very few places where we can have deep conversations and truly engage complex ideas. Interruptions by technology often break concentration and allow for too much dependence on outside information for ideas. I want students to dig deep within themselves for inspiration. I want them to think differently and make connections between the course materials and the class discussion.
I’ve been teaching my history class this way for many years. The evaluations reflect student satisfaction with the environment that I create. Students realize that with deep conversation and challenge, they learn at a level that helps them keep course materials beyond the classroom.
I’m not saying that I won’t ever change my mind about technology use in my history class, but until I hear a really good reason for the change, I’m sticking to my plan. A few hours of technology-free dialogue is just too sweet to give up.
4. What upset some students most at the beginning
A. The topics for class discussions. B. The requirements for idea exchange.
C. The materials chosen for the course. D. The ban on electronic devices in class.
5. Why are the students asked to give up technology in class
A. To push them to be more involved.
B. To make connections with information.
C. To explore their potentials to study better.
D. To introduce them to more complex themes.
6. What can be inferred about the author’s classes
A. They are well received and highly assessed.
B. The study environment is far from satisfactory.
C. They show his attitude against high technology.
D. The managers are promoted by attending the classes.
7. What message does the writer really want to convey
A. He will stick to this practice until he changes for a new job.
B. Technology is an effective way to relate teachers to students.
C. Unpleasant experiences can be the beginning of some new rules.
D. A few hours of technology-free dialogue will harvest a lot.
【答案】4. D 5. A 6. A 7. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者讲述了自己生活中也离不开手机、电脑等，但是在自己的历史课上禁止学生使用这些电子设备，是因为它们会影响深入交流和学生独立思考的能力。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。由第二段中“Because I want students to thoroughly study the material and exchange their ideas with each other in the classroom, I have a rule — no laptop, iPads, phones, etc. When students were told my rule in advance of the class, some of them were not happy. (我对这门课的目标包括对历史主题和思想的全面讨论。因为我想让学生们在课堂上深入学习材料并交流他们的想法，所以我有一个规定——不使用笔记本电脑、ipad、手机等。当学生们被提前告知我的规则时，他们中的一些人不高兴。)”可知，作者希望学生们在课堂上能够深入学习材料并交流，禁止学生在课上使用笔记本电脑、ipad、手机等，这个禁止使用电子设备的规则让一些学生不高兴。故选D。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“The real reason is that I think there are very few places where we can have deep conversations and truly engage complex ideas. Interruptions by technology often break concentration and allow for too much dependence on outside information for ideas. I want students to dig deep within themselves for inspiration. I want them to think differently and make connections between the course materials and the class discussion. (真正的原因是，我认为很少有地方可以让我们进行深入的对话，真正参与复杂的想法。科技的干扰往往会破坏注意力，让人过于依赖外部信息来获取想法。我希望学生们深入挖掘自己的灵感。我希望他们能以不同的方式思考，并将课程材料和课堂讨论联系起来。)”可知，作者认为科技的使用会破坏学生注意力，让学生依赖这些电子设备来获取信息，在课堂上不使用这些电子设备能够让学生更加独立地思考，更好地投入到课程材料和课堂讨论中。故选A。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“I’ve been teaching my history class this way for many years. The evaluations reflect student satisfaction with the environment that I create. Students realize that with deep conversation and challenge, they learn at a level that helps them keep course materials beyond the classroom. (多年来我一直用这种方法教历史课。评估反映了学生对我所创造的环境的满意度。学生们意识到，通过深入的对话和挑战，他们的学可以帮助他们将课程材料保留在课堂之外。)”可知，作者的历史课受学生欢迎，学生非常满意，评估结果也非常高。故选A。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“I’m not saying that I won’t ever change my mind about technology use in my history class, but until I hear a really good reason for the change, I’m sticking to my plan. A few hours of technology-free dialogue is just too sweet to give up. (我并不是说我永远不会改变我在历史课上使用科技的想法，但在我听到一个真正好的改变理由之前，我坚持我的计划。几个小时的无技术对话太甜蜜了，让人无法放弃。)”可知，没有真正好的理由作者不会改变历史课上禁止使用科技的想法，因为几个小时的无技术对话特别好，不能放弃；由此可知，作者真正想要传达的信息是几个小时的无技术对话将收获很多。故选D。
C
Many kids help out around the house with chores such as emptying the dishwasher, putting laundry away, and taking out the trash. In exchange, some kids get allowances or other rewards such as extra computer time.
But some people do not think that kids should get rewards for doing chores. Susie Walton, a parenting educator and family coach, believes that by rewarding kids, parents are sending a message that work isn’t worth doing unless you get something in return. ’’Running any kind of household is a team effort, Susie said. "A home is a living space for everyone in the family. It’s important for kids to see that we all have responsibilities in the house, and that families decide together how they want their home to look, and how they are going to keep it looking like everyone wants it to look.”
Other people believe that getting a cash allowance or other rewards motivates kids to do chores, and it also teaches them real world lessons about how we need to work to earn money. There are also new applications that give kids points and digital gifts that can be redeemed (兑取) either online or in the real world. With the ChoreMonster app, kids earn digital points by completing chores that they can turn in for real-life rewards such as extra Xbox time or a trip to the mall. “Our goal is to encourage kids to earn rewards,’’ says Chris Bergman, founder of ChoreMonster. “Kids need positive reinforcement to help motivate them."
What do you think Should kids be rewarded for doing chores Or should kids help out around their homes without getting anything in return
Write a 200-word response. Send it to tfkasks4you@. Your response may be published in a future issue of Time For Kids. Please include your grade and contact information of your parent or teacher if you want your response to be published. The deadline for responding is February 18.
8. How does the author start the passage
A. By presenting some facts.
B. By listing some evidence.
C. By comparing different views.
D. By stating his own experiences.
9. According to Susie Walton, .
A. kids should be rewarded for doing chores
B. parents decide what kids can do for the family
C. kids have the responsibility to share housework
D. kids can get extra computer time for doing chores
10. Paragraph 3 is mainly about .
A. Chris Bergman’s opinion on raising kids
B. main reasons why kids need encouragement
C. how to motivate kids to try new applications
D. the advantage of rewarding kids for doing chores
11. The purpose of writing the text is to .
A. invite readers to express their opinions
B. inform readers of two different opinions
C. call on readers to reflect on their behavior
D. present the author's viewpoint about parenting
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. D 11. A
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇议论文。本文主要对孩子在家里做家务到底要不得到报酬进行讨论，进而要求读者表达他们的观点。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Many kids help out around the house with chores such as emptying the dishwasher, putting laundry away, and taking out the trash. In exchange, some kids get allowances or other rewards such as extra computer time”可知，许多孩子在家里帮忙做家务，比如清空洗碗机，把衣服收起来，然后把垃圾拿出去。在交流中，有些孩子得到津贴或其他奖励，如额外的计算机时间。可推知，作者是通过陈述事实来开始这一段文章的。故选A。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段Susie said, “A home is a living space for everyone in the family. It’s important for kids to see that we all have responsibilities in the house,”可知，Susie 说“家是每个人的生活空间。 让孩子们明白我们都有责任，这很重要。根据Susie Walton所说，孩子们有分担家务的责任。故选C项。
【10题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段内容特别是开头句Other people believe that getting a cash allowance or other rewards motivates kids to do chores, and it also teaches them real world lessons about how we need to work to earn money其他人认为，得到现金津贴或其他奖励能激励孩子做家务，这也教会他们如何在现实生活中工作赚钱。可知，第三段主要说的是奖励孩子做家务的好处。故选D。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段和最后一段What do you think Should kids be rewarded for doing chores Or should kids help out around their homes without getting anything in return Write a 200-word response. 可知，你觉得怎么样？ 孩子做家务应该得到奖励吗？ 还是说孩子们应该在家里帮忙，而不是得到任何回报？写一个200字的回复。所以判断出作者写这篇文章的目的是邀请读者发表意见。故选A。
D
Most of us have heard of the 3Rs: reduce, reuse and recycle. It is the core principle of a sustainable (可持续的) life, but few of us can apply it in our own lives. Now, there’s a “lab” you can explore and discover a way toward living sustainably.
3R Lab is located in Xuhui district, Shanghai. It offers exhibitions, activities and goods that showcase the 3R principle. The key to a sustainable life, according to Vincent T. M. Fong, the 32-year-old from Hong Kong who created the lab, is to make it a long-term promise. “A sustainable life should be sustainable itself in the first place. You can’t lead a sustainable life on a whim. Small and comfortable changes are exactly what you need,” Fong said.
The lab regularly hosts ugly fruit markets, offering these strange fruits which are often thrown away by traditional markets and consumers at a quite attractive price. “They’re thrown away simply because of their appearance. Buying fruit regardless of how they look reduces food waste significantly in our daily life,” Fong commented.
A water tank with two types of straws is another equipment in the lab. “One type is made from normal plastics widely used in our daily life while the other is from PHA, a new replacement for plastics, and the water is sourced from the Suzhou River,” explained Ni Li, an employee of the lab. Visitors can see how the PHA straws degrade (降解) into a thin layer in just one month, while the others remain unchanged.
“Leading a sustainable life does not necessarily mean sacrifice,” said Fong. Consuming ugly fruit and using degradable plastics are small changes that are good for the environment and easy to stick to. Only in this way can the 3R principle become part of our lives, he added.
After working there for six months, Ni, who wasn’t mindful of the 3R principle before arriving at the lab, now uses her cup every time she buys a coffee. “The job has reshaped my life,” Ni said.
12. What does the-underlined phrase “on a whim” in the second paragraph probably mean
A. In a rush. B. On a regular basis.
C. Without any reason. D. As a common practice.
13. What is the purpose of the ugly fruit market at 3R Lab
A. To reduce food waste. B. To promote healthy eating.
C. To sell new kinds of fruit. D. To provide more affordable fruit,
14. What can the water tank at 3R Lab show to its visitors
A. The water pollution caused by plastics. B. The degradation of PHA straws.
C. The interaction between two types of straws. D. The disappearance of normal plastic straws.
15. What can we infer from the last paragraph about Ni
A. She avoids going to traditional markets. B. She has devoted less time to her hobbies.
C. She has got rid of a few bad habits. D. She is leading a low carbon life now.
【答案】12. A 13. A 14. B 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了3R实验室正在探索一种可持续生活的方式。
【12题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线短语的下文“Small and comfortable changes are exactly what you need,(小而舒适的改变正是你所需要的，)”可知，需要小而舒适的改变，也就是说你不可能一时兴起就过上可持续的生活的，所以推断划线短语的意思是“一时兴起、匆忙地”。故选A项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“They’re thrown away simply because of their appearance. Buying fruit regardless of how they look reduces food waste significantly in our daily life,(它们仅仅因为外表而被丢弃。购买水果，不管它们看起来如何，都能大大减少我们日常生活中的食物浪费，)”可知，3R实验室丑陋水果市场的目的是为了减少食物浪费。故选A项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Visitors can see how the PHA straws degrade (降解) into a thin layer in just one month, while the others remain unchanged.(参观者可以看到PHA吸管是如何在一个月内降解成薄薄的一层，而其他吸管则保持不变。)”可知，3R实验室的水箱能向参观者展示PHA吸管的降解。故选B项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“After working there for six months, Ni, who wasn’t mindful of the 3R principle before arriving at the lab, now uses her cup every time she buys a coffee.(在那里工作了六个月后，倪在来实验室之前并不知道3R原理，现在她每次买咖啡都要用自己的杯子。)”可推知，倪现在过着低碳生活。故选D项。
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。
Body language provides an amazing amount of information on what other people are thinking. Research has shown that 55% of communication comes from body language. ____16____
Crossed arms and legs signal resistance to your ideas. Crossed arms and legs are physical barriers that suggest the other person is not open to what you’re saying. Even if they’re engaged in a pleasant conversation, their body tells the story. Crossed legs or arms signal that a person is emotionally, and physically blocked off from what’s in front of them.
Real smiles crinkle the eyes. ____17____ Genuine smiles reach the eyes, crinkling (变皱) the skin to create crow’s feet around them. People often smile to hide what they’re really thinking and feeling, so the next time you want to know if someone’s smile is genuine, look for crinkles at the corners of their eyes. If they aren’t there, that smile is hiding something.
____18____ Have you ever seen a person walk into a room, and immediately, you’ve known that they were the one in charge That effect is largely about body language, and often includes gestures made with the palms facing down. The brain is hardwired to equate power with the amount of space people take up. ____19____ Slouching (没精打采), on the other hand, is the result of collapsing your form. Maintaining good posture commands respect and promotes engagement, whether you’re a leader or not.
Copying your body language is a good thing. Have you ever been in a meeting with someone and noticed that they lean their head the same way as yours when you’re talking That’s actually a good sign. Mirroring body language is something we do unconsciously when we feel a bond with the other person. ____20____
The bottom line is that even if you can’t read a person’s exact thoughts, you can learn a lot from their body language, and that’s especially true when words and body language don’t match.
A. Posture tells the story.
B. It’s a sign that the negotiation is going well.
C. When it comes to smiling, the eyes can’t lie.
D. Exaggerated nodding signals anxiety about approval.
E. Standing up straight with your shoulders back is a power position.
F. Try having eye contact when you’re having a relaxed conversation.
G. Next time you learn to interpret that 55%, watch for these cues.

Research has shown that 55% of communication comes from body language.(肢体语言提供了大量关于他人想法的信息。研究表明，55%的交流来自肢体语言。)”指出肢体语言提供了大量关于他人想法的信息，且研究表明55%的交流来自肢体语言；下文中作者阐述了一些肢体语言所代表的的含义；G选项“Next time you learn to interpret that 55%, watch for these cues.(下次你学习解释那55%的时候，注意这些暗示。)”承上启下，指出要学习解读占交流50%的肢体语言，要注意下文所提到的肢体语言所代表的含义，符合语境，选项中的“that 55%”指代上文“55% of communication”。故选G。
【17题详解】
由上文“Real smiles crinkle the eyes.(真正的微笑使眼睛起皱。)”以及下文“Genuine smiles reach the eyes, crinkling (变皱) the skin to create crow’s feet around them(真诚的微笑能到达眼睛，使皮肤起皱，在眼睛周围形成鱼尾纹。)”可知，真正的微笑使眼睛起皱, 在眼睛周围形成鱼尾纹；C选项“When it comes to smiling, the eyes can’t lie.(说到微笑，眼睛不会说谎。)”指出微笑时眼睛不会撒谎，符合语境。故选C。

Maintaining good posture commands respect and promotes engagement, whether you’re a leader or not.(另一方面，无精打采是由于你的形体过于放松造成的。)”可知，本段主要阐述人的姿势也会透露一些信息；A选项“Posture tells the story.(姿势能说明问题。)”能够概括本段主旨，适合作为主旨句。故选A。
【19题详解】
下文“Slouching (没精打采), on the other hand, is the result of collapsing your form. (另一方面，无精打采是由于你的形体过于放松造成的。)”指出，形体过于放松会让人觉得你无精打采；E选项“Standing up straight with your shoulders back is a power position.(站直，肩膀向后，是一个有力的姿势。)”指出站直肩膀向后是一个非常有力量的姿势，与下文形成对比，符合语境。故选E。
【20题详解】
由上文“Copying your body language is a good thing.(模仿你的肢体语言是一件好事。)”以及“Mirroring body language is something we do unconsciously when we feel a bond with the other person.(当我们感觉与他人有联系时，我们会无意识地模仿肢体语言。)”可知，在交流时，对方模仿你的肢体语言是一件好事，当我们感觉与他人有联系时，我们会无意识地模仿肢体语言；B选项“It’s a sign that the negotiation is going well.(这表明洽谈进展顺利。)”承接上文，指出无意识的地模仿对方的肢体语言表明双方洽谈进展很顺利，选项中代词“It”指代上文中“Mirroring body language”。故选B。

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
As long as she could remember, Mary had been fascinated by her grandmother’s notebooks. They were overflowing with stories and recipes from every corner of the globe, gathered during her wanderings in her youth. Those notebooks were like a time machine, taking her back to the days when her grandmother was young and full of life. She felt as if she could almost taste the flavors of the dishes her grandmother had cooked back then.
The notebooks were more than just pages of paper and ink. They were a reflection of her grandmother’s life, a record of her experiences and learning. Each recipe was a memory, each story a lesson learned. And now, those notebooks were about to pass into Mary’s keeping. Her grandmother had promised to pass them down to her when she was old enough to appreciate them.
Mary couldn’t wait to dive into those notebooks and discover more about her grandmother’s world. She was sure that they would be a rich source of knowledge and inspiration, and she was determined to honor her grandmother’s legacy (遗产) by preserving and cherishing those priceless notebooks.
One day, while searching through her grandmother’s attic (阁楼) , Mary came across a pile of unfamiliar notebooks. As she turned the pages of one of them, she realized they were filled with intricate (错综复杂的) details of her grandmother’s life. However, some pages were missing. Mary was puzzled. She wondered what could have happened to those missing pages and what secrets they might have held. She was determined to discover the truth behind the notebooks and fill in the missing pieces of her grandmother’s life.
With her heart pounding in her chest, Mary wildly searched the attic for those missing pages, but still couldn’t find them. Then, suddenly, she recalled her grandmother mentioning something about hiding things in plain sight. A light bulb went off in her head-the missing pages must be somewhere in the house! She knew she had to find them before they were lost forever.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
With renewed determination, Mary began her search.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Mary carefully removed the envelope, trembling with excitement.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
With renewed determination, Mary began her search. First, she looked in the kitchen, the heart of her grandmother’s domain. She looked through the drawers, searched the cupboards, and even checked under the sink. Then she ventured into the living room, inspecting every inch of it. Just as she was about to give up, her gaze fell on a picture frame. It was a treasured possession from her grandmother, a memory from a past moment. As she inspected the frame, she saw it — a small envelope taped behind it.
Mary carefully removed the envelope, trembling with excitement. At last, she found the missing pages! As she read through the yellowed pages, the words seemed to leap off the page, transporting her back to her grandmother’s kitchen. The familiar flavor of dishes her grandmother was cooking filled the air, and she could even hear her grandmother’s voice speaking to her. She felt like she was walking through her grandmother’s life again, experiencing the highs and lows, the adventures and misadventures. It was an emotional rollercoaster ride, but at the same time, it was a beautiful journey of self-discovery.
Another possible version of paragraph 2:
Mary carefully renewed the envelope, trembling with excitement. Some yellowed pages were there! Between the words, she learned what her grandmother treasured — one regretful quarrel with her parents for future choices at the age of 18, a faithful commitment her grandfather made on their wedding day, the diet preferences of all she loved, and so on. As Mary read on, she couldn’t hold back her tears and even whispered, “I miss you, Grandma! I miss the flavor! I miss yow hugs!” These notebooks make Mary feel that her grandmother is never gone, and that her wisdom. her love, and her care for the whole family are still living in this world.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Mary从小对祖母的笔记本着迷，她的祖母答应过她，等她长大了能欣赏它的时候，就把它传给她。某天她在阁楼发现了一些丢失的书页，她想知道那些丢失的书页究竟发生了什么事，里面可能藏着什么秘密。她决心找出笔记本背后的真相，填补祖母生活中缺失的部分。最终她在相框里发现了祖母藏起来的信封。她觉得自己好像又一次走过了祖母的一生，经历了高潮和低谷，经历了冒险和不幸。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“怀着新的决心，玛丽开始了她的搜寻”可知，第一段可描写玛丽搜寻的过程以及最终发现了相框里的信封。
②由第二段首句内容“玛丽小心翼翼地取出信封，兴奋得浑身发抖”可知，第二段可描写玛丽阅读信之后的内心感受和感悟。

The royal homes of kings and emperors reflect their architecture style and wealth. Today most of greatest palaces become worldwide popular tourist attractions. Visiting such great palaces helps to explore history of kingdom and the lifestyle of a time. Here is the list of 4 most amazing palaces in the world.
◎ Palace of Versailles, France
Palace of Versailles was built in 1624 by King Louis VIII as a hunting lodge and was later expanded into the largest palace by its successors, serving as permanent residence until 1789. It features 700 rooms, more than 1200 fireplaces and 60 staircases.
◎ Potala Palace, China
As one of the most splendid monuments, the construction of this palace originally started in 7th century and transformed into today’s form in 1936. It features most treasured Tibetan architectural marvels. The palace remained as the tallest building in the world from 1653 to 1889, and you can see entire Lhasa from the roof of the palace.
◎ Alhambra Palace, Spain
Situated in the city of Andalusia in Spain, this palace was first constructed in 9th century, damaged and ignored for more than 2 centuries. It was renovated by Muhammad ben Al-Ahmar in 13th century and was transformed into current palace by Sultan of Granada in 1333. This originally whitewashed palace, standing tall at hilltop for centuries of baking in sunlight, takes on a reddish look, with a view over the city.
◎ Pena Palace, Portugal
Initially built as a monastery, Pena Palace was protected for centuries by one king after another. But it suffered severe damages by 1755’s Lisbon earthquake. King Ferdinand II transformed those ruins into a beautiful palace, which is recognized for its Romanticism style.

The classroom, the bathroom, the outdoors — my smart phone is always in hand as if it were some magic self-defense tool capable of protecting me from all evil in the world. I also love my laptop, because it holds all of my writing and thoughts. Despite this love of technology, I know that there are times when I need to move away from these devices and truly communicate with others.
On occasion, I teach History Matters for a group of higher education managers. My goals for the class include a full discussion of historical themes and ideas. Because I want students to thoroughly study the materials and exchange their ideas in the classroom, I have a rule — no laptop, iPads, phones, etc. When students were told my rule in advance, some of them were not happy.
Most students assume that my reasons for this rule include unpleasant experiences with students misusing technology. There’s a bit of truth to that. Some assume that I am anti-technology. There’s no truth in that at all. I love technology and try to keep up with it, so I can relate to my students. The real reason is that I think there are very few places where we can have deep conversations and truly engage complex ideas. Interruptions by technology often break concentration and allow for too much dependence on outside information for ideas. I want students to dig deep within themselves for inspiration. I want them to think differently and make connections between the course materials and the class discussion.
I’ve been teaching my history class this way for many years. The evaluations reflect student satisfaction with the environment that I create. Students realize that with deep conversation and challenge they learn at a level that helps them keep course materials beyond the classroom.
I’m not saying that I won’t ever change my mind about technology use in my history class, but until I hear a really good reason for the change, I’m sticking to my plan. A few hours of technology-free dialogue is just too sweet to give up.
4. What upset some students most at the beginning
A. The topics for class discussions. B. The requirements for idea exchange.
C. The materials chosen for the course. D. The ban on electronic devices in class.
5. Why are the students asked to give up technology in class
A. To push them to be more involved.
B. To make connections with information.
C. To explore their potentials to study better.
D. To introduce them to more complex themes.
6. What can be inferred about the author’s classes
A. They are well received and highly assessed.
B. The study environment is far from satisfactory.
C. They show his attitude against high technology.
D. The managers are promoted by attending the classes.
7. What message does the writer really want to convey
A. He will stick to this practice until he changes for a new job.
B. Technology is an effective way to relate teachers to students.
C. Unpleasant experiences can be the beginning of some new rules.

Many kids help out around the house with chores such as emptying the dishwasher, putting laundry away, and taking out the trash. In exchange, some kids get allowances or other rewards such as extra computer time.
But some people do not think that kids should get rewards for doing chores. Susie Walton, a parenting educator and family coach, believes that by rewarding kids, parents are sending a message that work isn’t worth doing unless you get something in return. ’’Running any kind of household is a team effort, Susie said. "A home is a living space for everyone in the family. It’s important for kids to see that we all have responsibilities in the house, and that families decide together how they want their home to look, and how they are going to keep it looking like everyone wants it to look.”
Other people believe that getting a cash allowance or other rewards motivates kids to do chores, and it also teaches them real world lessons about how we need to work to earn money. There are also new applications that give kids points and digital gifts that can be redeemed (兑取) either online or in the real world. With the ChoreMonster app, kids earn digital points by completing chores that they can turn in for real-life rewards such as extra Xbox time or a trip to the mall. “Our goal is to encourage kids to earn rewards,’’ says Chris Bergman, founder of ChoreMonster. “Kids need positive reinforcement to help motivate them."
What do you think Should kids be rewarded for doing chores Or should kids help out around their homes without getting anything in return

Most of us have heard of the 3Rs: reduce, reuse and recycle. It is the core principle of a sustainable (可持续的) life, but few of us can apply it in our own lives. Now, there’s a “lab” you can explore and discover a way toward living sustainably.
3R Lab is located in Xuhui district, Shanghai. It offers exhibitions, activities and goods that showcase the 3R principle. The key to a sustainable life, according to Vincent T. M. Fong, the 32-year-old from Hong Kong who created the lab, is to make it a long-term promise. “A sustainable life should be sustainable itself in the first place. You can’t lead a sustainable life on a whim. Small and comfortable changes are exactly what you need,” Fong said.
The lab regularly hosts ugly fruit markets, offering these strange fruits which are often thrown away by traditional markets and consumers at a quite attractive price. “They’re thrown away simply because of their appearance. Buying fruit regardless of how they look reduces food waste significantly in our daily life,” Fong commented.
A water tank with two types of straws is another equipment in the lab. “One type is made from normal plastics widely used in our daily life while the other is from PHA, a new replacement for plastics, and the water is sourced from the Suzhou River,” explained Ni Li, an employee of the lab. Visitors can see how the PHA straws degrade (降解) into a thin layer in just one month, while the others remain unchanged.
“Leading a sustainable life does not necessarily mean sacrifice,” said Fong. Consuming ugly fruit and using degradable plastics are small changes that are good for the environment and easy to stick to. Only in this way can the 3R principle become part of our lives, he added.
After working there for six months, Ni, who wasn’t mindful of the 3R principle before arriving at the lab, now uses her cup every time she buys a coffee. “The job has reshaped my life,” Ni said.
12. What does the-underlined phrase “on a whim” in the second paragraph probably mean
A. In a rush. B. On a regular basis.
C Without any reason. D. As a common practice.
13. What is the purpose of the ugly fruit market at 3R Lab
A. To reduce food waste. B. To promote healthy eating.
C. To sell new kinds of fruit. D. To provide more affordable fruit,
14. What can the water tank at 3R Lab show to its visitors
A. The water pollution caused by plastics. B. The degradation of PHA straws.
C. The interaction between two types of straws. D. The disappearance of normal plastic straws.
15. What can we infer from the last paragraph about Ni
A. She avoids going to traditional markets. B. She has devoted less time to her hobbies.
C. She has got rid of a few bad habits. D. She is leading a low carbon life now.

As long as she could remember, Mary had been fascinated by her grandmother’s notebooks. They were overflowing with stories and recipes from every corner of the globe, gathered during her wanderings in her youth. Those notebooks were like a time machine, taking her back to the days when her grandmother was young and full of life. She felt as if she could almost taste the flavors of the dishes her grandmother had cooked back then.
The notebooks were more than just pages of paper and ink. They were a reflection of her grandmother’s life, a record of her experiences and learning. Each recipe was a memory, each story a lesson learned. And now, those notebooks were about to pass into Mary’s keeping. Her grandmother had promised to pass them down to her when she was old enough to appreciate them.
Mary couldn’t wait to dive into those notebooks and discover more about her grandmother’s world. She was sure that they would be a rich source of knowledge and inspiration, and she was determined to honor her grandmother’s legacy (遗产) by preserving and cherishing those priceless notebooks.
One day, while searching through her grandmother’s attic (阁楼) , Mary came across a pile of unfamiliar notebooks. As she turned the pages of one of them, she realized they were filled with intricate (错综复杂的) details of her grandmother’s life. However, some pages were missing. Mary was puzzled. She wondered what could have happened to those missing pages and what secrets they might have held. She was determined to discover the truth behind the notebooks and fill in the missing pieces of her grandmother’s life.
With her heart pounding in her chest, Mary wildly searched the attic for those missing pages, but still couldn’t find them. Then, suddenly, she recalled her grandmother mentioning something about hiding things in plain sight. A light bulb went off in her head-the missing pages must be somewhere in the house! She knew she had to find them before they were lost forever.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
