FAMOUS CHINESE PAINTINGS, ARTISTIC TREASURES
With thousands of years of continuous history, China is one of the most culturally unique nations. Over many centuries, Chinese artists have created paintings that are now in the hearts of more than a billion people.
Nymph of the Luo River—Gu Kaizhi
The legend has it that Cao Zhi, a prince of the state of Cao Wei, fell in love with the governor’s daughter. However, she married his brother, Cao Pi, and the prince became upset. Later, he composed an emotional poem about the love between the goddess and common people. In the 4th century, Gu Kaizhi, a Chinese artist, was moved by the story and illustrated the poem.
Court Ladies Adorning Their Hair with Flowers—Zhou Fang
During the Tang Dynasty, China had a prosperous economy and flourishing culture. In this period, the genre of “beautiful women painting” enjoyed popularity. Coming from a noble background, Zhou Fang, a Chinese artist, created artworks in this genre. In his painting, the ladies stand as though they are fashion models, but one of them is entertaining herself by teasing a cute dog.
Along the River During the Qingming Festival—Zhang Zeduan
Zhang Zeduan depicted the landscape in his work Along the River During the Qingming Festival. However, instead of concentrating on the vastness of nature, he captured the daily life of the people of Bianjing, present-day Kaifeng. His work shows much about life in the Northern Song Dynasty.
A Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains—Wang Ximeng
Not only did officials and scholars enjoy listening to music, but they also found pleasure in depicting nature. One such painter was Wang Ximeng. He was a prodigy. Wang Ximeng painted A Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains when he was only seventeen years old. He died several years later, but he left one of the largest and most beautiful paintings in Chinese history.
1. Where do you think this passage is taken from
A. A novel. B. A travel journal.
C. A magazine. D. A book review.
2. What can we learn from this passage
A. Wang Ximeng created his masterpiece in his teens.
B. Nymph of the Luo River is a poem written by Cao Zhi.
C. Zhou Fang painted fashion models in his painting.
D. Zhang Zeduan’s painting describes daily life of officials.
3. Which is your best choice if you want to enjoy a painting with the beauty of nature
A. Nymph of the Luo River—Gu Kaizhi.
B. A Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains—Wang Ximeng.
C. Court Ladies Adorning Their Hair with Flowers—Zhou Fang.

【答案】1. C 2. A 3. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了四幅中国知名画家的作品。
【1题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“With thousands of years of continuous history, China is one of the most culturally unique nations. Over many centuries, Chinese artists have created paintings that are now in the hearts of more than a billion people.(中国拥有数千年的连续历史，是世界上文化最独特的国家之一。几个世纪以来，中国艺术家创作的绘画作品如今在10亿多人心中流传。)”以及全文内容可知文章主要讲的是中国艺术家创作的绘画作品，所以文章最有可能出自一本和艺术相关的杂志。故选C项。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章Nymph of the Luo River—Gu Kaizhi部分的“Later, Cao Zhi composed an emotional poem about the love between the goddess and common people.In the 4th century, Gu Kaizhi, a Chinese artist, was moved by the story and illustrated the poem.(后来，曹植写了一首关于女神和普通人之间爱情的感人的诗。公元4世纪，中国艺术家顾恺之被这个故事所感动，并为这首诗配了插图。)”可知Nymph of the Luo River实际上是由顾恺之根据曹植的《洛神赋》所配的一幅画，所以B不对；根据Court Ladies Adorning Their Hair with Flowers—Zhou Fang部分的“In his painting, the ladies stand as though they are fashion models, but one of them is entertaining herself by teasing a cute dog.(在他的画中，女士们站在那里，就像时装模特一样，但其中一人正在逗弄一只可爱的狗。)”可知Zhou Fang的画里面画的并不是时装模特，所以C不正确；根据Along the River During the Qingming Festival—Zhang Zeduan部分的“he captured the daily life of the people of Bianjing, present-day Kaifeng.(他描绘了汴京(今开封)人民的日常生活。)”可知Zhang Zeduan在《清明上河图》里面描述的并不是官员们的生活，而是普通老百姓的日常生活，所以D项不对；根据A Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains—Wang Ximeng部分的“Wang Ximeng painted A Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains when he was only seventeen years old. (王希孟十七岁时就画了《千里江山图》。)”，可知王希孟在十几岁时就完成了他的大作，所以A正确。故选A项。
【3题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章A Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains—Wang Ximeng部分的“Not only did officials and scholars enjoy listening to music, but they also found pleasure in depicting nature.(官员和学者不仅喜欢听音乐，他们也从描绘自然中找到乐趣。)”可知A Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains—Wang Ximeng可以让官员们享受到大自然的美景，所以如果你想欣赏大自然的美景，可以选择这幅画。故选B项。
B
I still remember that busy autumn evening as I hurried with my eldest daughter, Athena, to get to her classroom on time for the parent-teacher night. We walked in and all eyes were on me. A few adults quickly quieted their kids’ whispers. A classmate yelled to my daughter, “What’s wrong with your mom’s face ” Shocked, I started to explain my condition, but my six-year-old daughter looked at him and said, “It’s my mom’s birthmark! Don’t be rude!” I was extremely proud of how she handled that situation.
I was quite young when I realized I looked different because of my large facial birthmark. I always thought I would be alone because of it. Being compared to Batman’s evil Two-Face made me believe I could never find love. But I was lucky enough to meet my husband, who saw me for who I am inside. When I had my first daughter, I was overjoyed, but I began to worry if the world would judge my children. I always worried I might pass my condition onto my children; I didn’t want them to grow up feeling judged. Unfortunately, my facial difference has impacted my children. My daughters get disinvited from birthday parties or sleepovers, or I learn certain kids are no longer friends with mine after their parents saw me at school.
When my kids were young, I explained how my special purple skin was rare and we talked about acceptance and never judging others on how they look. When my girls kiss my purple-skinned cheek, I feel “normal” around them and their unconditional love. With time going by, both my daughters have become my strongest supporters. Thanks to them, I’ve begun to feel more self-confident as I try to be a good role model.
Their worldviews are similar to mine. We see the world a little differently and with a kinder, more accepting heart. As the saying goes, your daughters will grow up to be your best friends. I know that will be the case for me!
4. What happened when the author went to attend the parent-teacher night
A. Athena was praised by others for her bravery and optimism.
B. Athena defended her mother against her classmate’s rudeness.
C. Some parents criticized their kids because of their misbehaviour.
D. The author felt shocked at her daughter’s response to her classmate.
5. According to paragraph 2, which of the following views might the author agree with
A. Friendship needs to be watered by love.
B. We should treat our children as best friends.
C. We should accept other people’s differences.
D. Our ability to handle difficulties can be developed.
6. How are the daughters influenced by the author’s birthmark
A. They have to drop out of school.
B. They have the same physical condition as me.
C. They have difficulty maintaining friendships.
D. They feel worried because they are often judged.
7. What is the best title for the passage
A. A birthmark to live with. B. My strongest supporters.
C. A kind and accepting heart. D. The confidence to be different.
【答案】4. B 5. C 6. C 7. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。这篇文章主要讲述了作者因为面部特殊的紫色斑点出现的困惑和自卑，但孩子们的爱和支持让作者变得更加自信，并且强调了接受和不评判别人外表的重要性。同时，文章也提到了孩子们在成长过程中会遭遇到的不公和歧视。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“A classmate yelled to my daughter, “What’s wrong with your mom’s face ” Shocked, I started to explain my condition, but my six-year-old daughter looked at him and said, “It’s my mom’s birthmark! Don’t be rude!” I was extremely proud of how she handled that situation.( 一个同学对我女儿喊道：“你妈妈的脸怎么了？”我很震惊，开始向他解释我的情况，但我六岁的女儿看着他说：“这是我妈妈的胎记！别那么粗鲁！”我为她处理这种情况的方式感到非常自豪。)”可知，因为作者脸上胎记，被其女儿的同学嘲讽，但是作者的女儿为其辩护，反对她同学的粗鲁。故选B。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“I was quite young when I realized I looked different because of my large facial birthmark. I always thought I would be alone because of it. Being compared to Batman’s evil Two-Face made me believe I could never find love. But I was lucky enough to meet my husband, who saw me for who I am inside.(在我很小的时候，我就意识到因为脸上的大胎记，我看起来和别人不一样。我一直以为我会因此而孤独。被比作蝙蝠侠邪恶的双面人，让我相信我永远找不到真爱。但我很幸运地遇到了我的丈夫，他看到了真正的我。)”可知，作者小时候以为自己跟别人不一样，因此会觉得孤独，并相信永远不会找到真爱，但是作者长大后很幸运的是遇到了自己的丈夫，其接受了作者的不同，发现的是作者的内在。作者可能同意的观点是：我们应该接受别人的不同。故选C。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Unfortunately, my facial difference has impacted my children. My daughters get disinvited from birthday parties or sleepovers, or I learn certain kids are no longer friends with mine after their parents saw me at school.(不幸是，我的面部差异影响了我的孩子。我的女儿们被取消了参加生日派对或过夜聚会的邀请，或者我知道某些孩子在他们的父母在学校看到我后就不再和我的孩子做朋友了。)”可知，作者的女儿受到作者的胎记的影响是：在与其他孩子维持友谊方面遇到了困难。故选C。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。文章第一段作者提到自己的女儿帮助自己回击那些嘲笑自己脸上胎记的坏声音，且根据最后一段“Their worldviews are similar to mine. We see the world a little differently and with a kinder, more accepting heart. As the saying goes, your daughters will grow up to be your best friends. I know that will be the case for me!(他们的世界观和我的相似。我们用一颗更善良、更包容的心来看待这个世界。俗话说，你的女儿长大后会成为你最好的朋友。我知道我也会这样!)”以及通读全文可知，这篇文章主要讲述了作者因为面部特殊的紫色斑点出现的困惑和自卑，但孩子们的爱和支持让作者变得更加自信，并且强调了接受和不评判别人外表的重要性，并且随着女儿们长大，她们将会是作者最好的朋友。文章表达了女儿们对她的支持。B项“My strongest supporters.”（我最坚定的支持者。）该项符合文意。故选B。
C
A new outdoor fabric (织物) stores energy by day and then lights up at night. Being tested in a city park, this totally “cool” fabric has attracted interest for its many urban uses.
This is the invention of Anai Green, an industrial and product designer based in Tel Aviv, Israel. She designed a fabric that includes organic and solar photovoltaic cells (光伏电池). The cells capture sunlight and store the energy in strips with LEDs. This allows the fabric to shade public space by day. When night falls, these strips light up. Green said, “We use LumiWeave to light public space without carbon emissions, making the lighting all-natural. And we spread light in the area we want to light only.”
The system was designed to adapt to all weather conditions and can continue to provide lighting even after three days without sunlight. In addition, you simply put LumiWeave up and the sun will do the work. This in itself saves 50 percent of the cost of building standard lighting, and it saves 100 percent on the electricity bills. This is great news for cities. Tel Aviv, Green’s hometown, is trying out LumiWeave in AtidimPark.
The mayor of Tel Aviv, Ron Huldai, is making efforts to address climate change. “LumiWeave will turn out to be a groundbreaking project,” Huldai said. The mayor added that LumiWeave is especially important as it solves the issue of shading urban areas and uses clean energy.
The new fabric can be fixed atop bike paths, in children’s parks and in walking areas. Many big cities in Israel are planning on adopting LumiWeave. As there is also use for the fabric in outdoor sitting areas of restaurants and hotels, Green has developed a LumiWeave parasol (大遮阳伞). “We are now developing the possibility of controlling it from the phone — we’re creating an application,” Green said. LumiWeave provides an ideal solution for urban parks and gardens. We hope that it will soon be lighting up night skies around the world.
8. How does the new outdoor fabric work
A. By turning household waste into clean energy.
B. By using photovoltaic cells to promote plant growth.
C. By providing shade and energy in an eco-friendly way.
D. By changing its temperatures according to the weather.
9. Which of the following can be the feature of LumiWeave
A. It’s functional and cost-effective.
B. It takes up a lot of public space.
C. It’s equipped with self-repair materials.
D. It can broadcast weather conditions more quickly.
10. What’s Ron Huldai’s attitude towards LumiWeave
A. Worried. B. Doubtful. C. Unclear. D. Supportive.
11. What can we infer about LumiWeave from Paragraph 5
A. It may cause safety concerns.
B. It will be further developed for wider use.
C. It will be replaced by more intelligent devices.
D. It can reduce the waiting time in some places.
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. D 11. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了以色列特拉维夫的一位工业和产品设计师设计了一种包含有机和太阳能光伏电池的织物。电池捕获阳光并将能量储存在带led的条带中，使得这种织物在白天为公共空间遮阳。夜幕降临时，这些织物就会亮起来为城市照明。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The cells capture sunlight and store the energy in strips with LEDs. This allows the fabric to shade public space by day. When night falls, these strips light up.

【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“This in itself saves50 percent of the cost of building standard lighting, and it saves 100 percent on the electricity bills.”（这本身就节省了50%的建筑标准照明成本，并节省了100%的电费。），根据第四段“The mayor added that LumiWeave is especially important as it solves the issue of shading urban areas and uses clean energy.”（市长补充说，LumiWeave特别重要，因为它解决了城市地区的遮阳问题，并使用了清洁能源。）和最后一段“LumiWeave provides an ideal solution for urban parks and gardens.”（LumiWeave为城市公园和花园提供了理想的解决方案。）可知，LumiWeave是实用的和划算的。故选A项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“The mayor of Tel Aviv, Ron Huldai, is making efforts to address climate change. “LumiWeave will turn out to be a groundbreaking project,” Huldai said.

We hope that it will soon be lighting up night skies around the world.”（由于这种面料也可以用于餐馆和酒店的户外休息区，格林开发了一款LumiWeave遮阳伞(大遮阳伞)。格林说:“我们正在开发通过手机控制它的可能性——我们正在开发一个应用程序。”LumiWeave为城市公园和花园提供了理想的解决方案。我们希望它能很快照亮世界各地的夜空。）可知，LumiWeave将被进一步开发以得到更广泛的应用。故选B项。
D
In school, we learned the periodic table and were told to recite the alphabet, but nobody forced us to take a class on what emotions are and how they work before we entered the big world. And for many of us, that means understanding how we feel and why can be incredibly difficult.
Yet, research shows that being aware of your emotions is hugely beneficial and people with high emotional awareness have better social and emotional functioning. In layman’s terms, that can translate as being able to predict your emotions and develop coping mechanisms in advance, becoming wise to unhealthy behavior patterns, and even being more in tune with the needs of others.
“Emotional awareness is being able to identify and make sense of not only our own emotions but those of others. It’s absolutely essential in maintaining good mental health,” explains Rachel Vora, psychotherapist and founder of CYP Wellbeing. “When we are able to identify and reflect on our emotional responses, we can understand how this influences our behaviors and in turn, change the way we respond to challenging situations.”
Of course, pinpointing how we feel can often prove difficult. It’s the very reason we turn to general phrases like “I feel blue” or “I’m not myself today”. Vora says this is often because on some level we don’t want to know how we really feel. “We can often try to numb (使麻木), suppress or avoid emotions because they feel overwhelming or distressing and this can often lead to a lack of emotional awareness as we feel disconnected from ourselves,” she explains.
Without emotional awareness, we can also develop emotional blind spots: unhealthy thoughts, behaviors and coping mechanisms that are hidden from our view. Perhaps you may feel self-doubt when you receive negative feedback. Unless you take time for introspection (反省), you’ll remain unaware of these habits. Vora says tuning into your emotions and honestly reflecting on how you feel is key. “By identifying our emotional blind spots, we can feel more in control of our emotions, how to improve our mood and also how we respond in challenging situations.”
12. What can we know about people with high emotional awareness
A. They can foresee their emotions.
B. They solve problems ahead of time.
C. They always keep positive attitude.
D. They can avoid unhealthy behaviors.
13. How does Vora view emotional awareness
A. It can be gained without difficulty.
B. It is vital for us to keep mental health.
C. It can enable us to respond to challenges easily.
D. It is helpful to understand most people’s emotions.
14. What does the word “this” in paragraph 4 refer to
A. We don’t know how we feel.
B. We lack emotional awareness.
C. We can’t control our emotions.
D. We describe our emotions with difficulty.
15. What is the last paragraph mainly about
A. How to control our mood.
B. What to do with our habits.
C. When to practise self-reflection.
D. How to develop emotional awareness.
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. D 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了情绪意识的重要性，提出了解自己的情绪对于维持良好的心理健康和社交功能的重要性。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Yet, research shows that being aware of your emotions is hugely beneficial and people with high emotional awareness have better social and emotional functioning. In layman’s terms, that can translate as being able to predict your emotions and develop coping mechanisms in advance, becoming wise to unhealthy behavior patterns, and even being more in tune with the needs of others.(然而，研究表明，意识到自己的情绪是非常有益的，情绪意识高的人有更好的社交和情感功能。用外行的话来说，这可以解释为能够预测你的情绪，提前发展应对机制，对不健康的行为模式变得明智，甚至更能与他人的需求保持一致。)”可知，情绪意识高的人有更好的社交和情感功能，能够提前预测自己的情绪。故选A。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段““Emotional awareness is being able to identify and make sense of not only our own emotions but those of others. It’s absolutely essential in maintaining good mental health,” explains Rachel Vora, psychotherapist and founder of CYP Wellbeing. “When we are able to identify and reflect on our emotional responses, we can understand how this influences our behaviors and in turn, change the way we respond to challenging situations.”(“情绪意识不仅是能够识别和理解我们自己的情绪，也能理解他人的情绪。这对保持良好的心理健康是绝对必要的，”心理治疗师、CYP wellness的创始人Rachel Vora解释说。“当我们能够识别和反思我们的情绪反应时，我们就能理解这是如何影响我们的行为的，进而改变我们应对挑战的方式。”)”可知，Vora提到情绪意识是心理健康的重要组成部分，因为它可以帮助我们理解和管理自己的情绪，从而更好地应对挑战和压力。因此，Vora认为情绪意识对于保持心理健康非常重要。故选B。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线单词上文“Of course, pinpointing how we feel can often prove difficult. It’s the very reason we turn to general phrases like “I feel blue” or “I’m not myself today”.(当然，准确地指出我们的感受往往是困难的。这就是为什么我们会说“我感觉很沮丧”或“我今天不是我自己”。)”可知，Vora所说的“this”指的是我们很难准确表达出自己的感受。故选D。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段“Without emotional awareness, we can also develop emotional blind spots: unhealthy thoughts, behaviors and coping mechanisms that are hidden from our view. Perhaps you may feel self-doubt when you receive negative feedback. Unless you take time for introspection (反省), you’ll remain unaware of these habits. Vora says tuning into your emotions and honestly reflecting on how you feel is key. “By identifying our emotional blind spots, we can feel more in control of our emotions, how to improve our mood and also how we respond in challenging situations.”(如果没有情感意识，我们也会形成情感盲点：不健康的想法、行为和应对机制，这些都是我们看不到的。也许当你收到负面反馈时，你会感到自我怀疑。除非你花时间自省，否则你不会意识到这些习惯。Vora说，调整自己的情绪，诚实地反思自己的感受是关键。“通过识别我们的情绪盲点，我们可以更好地控制我们的情绪，如何改善我们的情绪，以及我们如何应对具有挑战性的情况。”)”可知，最后一段讲述了情感意识的重要性以及提出我们应该如何培养我们的情感意识。故选D。

Thomas watched the irrigation canal (灌溉渠) for a sign of water. It looked as dry as he felt inside. Thomas's thoughts were interrupted as his younger sister, Maggie, came skipping across the field.
"What are you giving Mama for her birthday " she asked.
Thomas felt his stomach turn. He had forgotten that Mama's birthday, the first since they left their hometown, was tomorrow. "It's a surprise, Maggie," he answered. It was the truth.
Even he would be surprised.
Thomas would wish to be back in the mountains of their hometown. Surely Mama would want the same. At least it rained there. Each time it did, Mama, Thomas, and Maggie would sit on the front porch and watch for a rainbow. Then each of them picked out a favorite color in the rainbow. Mama always gave the same answer. "Turquoise (蓝绿色，绿松石)," she would finally say with a dreamy smile, pointing at the sky. "Squeezed in tight, between the blue and green. Close your eyes and you can see it. If you could touch it, it would feel cool, like a breeze blowing across the stream."
Thomas was discouraged. The sun would be setting soon, and he still had nothing to give his mother. What he saw around were rocks and sand. He picked up a large, flat rock, scooped up the dirt and watched it fall to the ground. Suddenly, something caught his eye. A speck of color peeked through the dirt.
"Hey, what's this " he asked.
"Let's find out," Maggie yelled. Thomas and Maggie dug with their fingers and uncovered a small, round stone. In the center, there was a tiny hole.
"That's just a turquoise bead (珠子)," Thomas exclaimed. "My friend Jack's sister has a jar full of them."
"Let's see if there are more," Maggie got excited.
注意:

【答案】"I have an idea," Thomas said cheerfully. "We can give Mom turquoise for her birthday, because she likes rainbows like that." "I think it's a good idea," Maggie said. "Mother will love it. Let's go back to digging. We'll find as many as we can, picking the prettiest. The more, the better." Thomas and Maggie immediately began digging, hoping to find more such small stones. They were digging for stones, and dark fell before they knew it.
Early the next morning, Thomas and Maggie set a small package on the table. Inside was the turquoise they had dug. It's a birthday present for their mother. "Mom, come here quickly. What do you think is in the parcel " Maggie shouted. Mother came out of the kitchen and looked very surprised. When their mother opened the package, she saw the beautiful stones like a rainbow. Mother said "thank you" happily, saying it was the best birthday present she had ever received. Thomas and Maggie laughed happily.

I still remember that busy autumn evening as I hurried with my eldest daughter, Athena, to get to her classroom on time for the parent-teacher night. We walked in and all eyes were on me. A few adults quickly quieted their kids’ whispers. A classmate yelled to my daughter, “What’s wrong with your mom’s face ” Shocked, I started to explain my condition, but my six-year-old daughter looked at him and said, “It’s my mom’s birthmark! Don’t be rude!” I was extremely proud of how she handled that situation.
I was quite young when I realized I looked different because of my large facial birthmark. I always thought I would be alone because of it. Being compared to Batman’s evil Two-Face made me believe I could never find love. But I was lucky enough to meet my husband, who saw me for who I am inside. When I had my first daughter, I was overjoyed, but I began to worry if the world would judge my children. I always worried I might pass my condition onto my children; I didn’t want them to grow up feeling judged. Unfortunately, my facial difference has impacted my children. My daughters get disinvited from birthday parties or sleepovers, or I learn certain kids are no longer friends with mine after their parents saw me at school.
When my kids were young, I explained how my special purple skin was rare and we talked about acceptance and never judging others on how they look. When my girls kiss my purple-skinned cheek, I feel “normal” around them and their unconditional love. With time going by, both my daughters have become my strongest supporters. Thanks to them, I’ve begun to feel more self-confident as I try to be a good role model.
Their worldviews are similar to mine. We see the world a little differently and with a kinder, more accepting heart. As the saying goes, your daughters will grow up to be your best friends. I know that will be the case for me!

A new outdoor fabric (织物) stores energy by day and then lights up at night. Being tested in a city park, this totally “cool” fabric has attracted interest for its many urban uses.
This is the invention of Anai Green, an industrial and product designer based in Tel Aviv, Israel. She designed a fabric that includes organic and solar photovoltaic cells (光伏电池). The cells capture sunlight and store the energy in strips with LEDs. This allows the fabric to shade public space by day. When night falls, these strips light up. Green said, “We use LumiWeave to light public space without carbon emissions, making the lighting all-natural. And we spread light in the area we want to light only.”
The system was designed to adapt to all weather conditions and can continue to provide lighting even after three days without sunlight. In addition, you simply put LumiWeave up and the sun will do the work. This in itself saves 50 percent of the cost of building standard lighting, and it saves 100 percent on the electricity bills. This is great news for cities. Tel Aviv, Green’s hometown, is trying out LumiWeave in AtidimPark.
The mayor of Tel Aviv, Ron Huldai, is making efforts to address climate change. “LumiWeave will turn out to be a groundbreaking project,” Huldai said. The mayor added that LumiWeave is especially important as it solves the issue of shading urban areas and uses clean energy.
The new fabric can be fixed atop bike paths, in children’s parks and in walking areas. Many big cities in Israel are planning on adopting LumiWeave. As there is also use for the fabric in outdoor sitting areas of restaurants and hotels, Green has developed a LumiWeave parasol (大遮阳伞). “We are now developing the possibility of controlling it from the phone — we’re creating an application,” Green said. LumiWeave provides an ideal solution for urban parks and gardens. We hope that it will soon be lighting up night skies around the world.
8. How does the new outdoor fabric work
A. By turning household waste into clean energy.
B. By using photovoltaic cells to promote plant growth.
C. By providing shade and energy in an eco-friendly way.
D. By changing its temperatures according to the weather.
9. Which of the following can be the feature of LumiWeave
A. It’s functional and cost-effective.
B. It takes up a lot of public space.
C. It’s equipped with self-repair materials.
D. It can broadcast weather conditions more quickly.
10. What’s Ron Huldai’s attitude towards LumiWeave
A Worried. B. Doubtful. C. Unclear. D. Supportive.
11. What can we infer about LumiWeave from Paragraph 5
A. It may cause safety concerns.
B. It will be further developed for wider use.
C. It will be replaced by more intelligent devices.
D. It can reduce the waiting time in some places.
D
In school, we learned the periodic table and were told to recite the alphabet, but nobody forced us to take a class on what emotions are and how they work before we entered the big world. And for many of us, that means understanding how we feel and why can be incredibly difficult.
Yet, research shows that being aware of your emotions is hugely beneficial and people with high emotional awareness have better social and emotional functioning. In layman’s terms, that can translate as being able to predict your emotions and develop coping mechanisms in advance, becoming wise to unhealthy behavior patterns, and even being more in tune with the needs of others.
“Emotional awareness is being able to identify and make sense of not only our own emotions but those of others. It’s absolutely essential in maintaining good mental health,” explains Rachel Vora, psychotherapist and founder of CYP Wellbeing. “When we are able to identify and reflect on our emotional responses, we can understand how this influences our behaviors and in turn, change the way we respond to challenging situations.”
Of course, pinpointing how we feel can often prove difficult. It’s the very reason we turn to general phrases like “I feel blue” or “I’m not myself today”. Vora says this is often because on some level we don’t want to know how we really feel. “We can often try to numb (使麻木), suppress or avoid emotions because they feel overwhelming or distressing and this can often lead to a lack of emotional awareness as we feel disconnected from ourselves,” she explains.
Without emotional awareness, we can also develop emotional blind spots: unhealthy thoughts, behaviors and coping mechanisms that are hidden from our view. Perhaps you may feel self-doubt when you receive negative feedback. Unless you take time for introspection (反省), you’ll remain unaware of these habits. Vora says tuning into your emotions and honestly reflecting on how you feel is key. “By identifying our emotional blind spots, we can feel more in control of our emotions, how to improve our mood and also how we respond in challenging situations.”
12. What can we know about people with high emotional awareness
A. They can foresee their emotions.
B. They solve problems ahead of time.
C. They always keep positive attitude.
D They can avoid unhealthy behaviors.
13. How does Vora view emotional awareness
A. It can be gained without difficulty.
B. It is vital for us to keep mental health.
C. It can enable us to respond to challenges easily.
D. It is helpful to understand most people’s emotions.
14. What does the word “this” in paragraph 4 refer to
A. We don’t know how we feel.
B. We lack emotional awareness.
C. We can’t control our emotions.
D. We describe our emotions with difficulty.
15. What is the last paragraph mainly about
A. How to control our mood.
B. What to do with our habits.
C. When to practise self-reflection.
D. How to develop emotional awareness.

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。
Thomas watched the irrigation canal (灌溉渠) for a sign of water. It looked as dry as he felt inside. Thomas's thoughts were interrupted as his younger sister, Maggie, came skipping across the field.
"What are you giving Mama for her birthday " she asked.
Thomas felt his stomach turn. He had forgotten that Mama's birthday, the first since they left their hometown, was tomorrow. "It's a surprise, Maggie," he answered. It was the truth.
Even he would be surprised.
Thomas would wish to be back in the mountains of their hometown. Surely Mama would want the same. At least it rained there. Each time it did, Mama, Thomas, and Maggie would sit on the front porch and watch for a rainbow. Then each of them picked out a favorite color in the rainbow. Mama always gave the same answer. "Turquoise (蓝绿色，绿松石)," she would finally say with a dreamy smile, pointing at the sky. "Squeezed in tight, between the blue and green. Close your eyes and you can see it. If you could touch it, it would feel cool, like a breeze blowing across the stream."
Thomas was discouraged. The sun would be setting soon, and he still had nothing to give his mother. What he saw around were rocks and sand. He picked up a large, flat rock, scooped up the dirt and watched it fall to the ground. Suddenly, something caught his eye. A speck of color peeked through the dirt.
"Hey, what's this " he asked.
"Let's find out," Maggie yelled. Thomas and Maggie dug with their fingers and uncovered a small, round stone. In the center, there was a tiny hole.
"That's just a turquoise bead (珠子)," Thomas exclaimed. "My friend Jack's sister has a jar full of them."
"Let's see if there are more," Maggie got excited.
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。
"I have an idea," Thomas said cheerfully. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
