Over 40 students with low vision study at a school in Gandhinagar, Gujarat. It was designed by Anand Sonecha, founder of an architecture company. Featuring a bright yellow entrance door, which stands out against the white walls, the school is decorated with a variety of sweet-smelling plants everywhere. Inside the classrooms, the walls feel smooth in contrast to the rough outside of the building. These all help students familiarize themselves with the area straightforwardly, without any trouble.
The school provides an open space serving as a platform for the visually-challenged students to play, perform, or celebrate festivals and the students are easy to orient themselves according to the sound, smell, sight and touch. “The idea behind the design was to make the school more accessible to the students,” Sonecha says, “They come from remote villages and towns in Gujarat, and I am eager to help them.”
During the construction, Sonecha used contrasting colors so that students could easily distinguish between the elements. Blue was used for all classroom doors, yellow for the entrance gate, black for switch buttons, and yellow and green for the furniture. All these colors contrasted with the white walls of the school, helping the students locate different elements. Different areas are of different height and width, which makes the sounds and noises change according to the echo (回音) produced in these spaces. Furthermore, he cooperated with fellow landscape architect Lokendra Balasaria to plant more than 1, 000 plants of 37 species. These sweet plants have been grown not only to lead the children to move in the school through smell but also to attract butterflies and birds, and provide shade.
“The structure of the building is designed similarly to any other school building, only with a few clever elements. My intention was to avoid making it look distinct from other schools,” Sonecha explains, “I hope that there are no different schools for such students. Instead, all these elements should be added to public spaces for them. And my follow-up efforts may be there.”
4. Why did Sonecha design the school in Gandhinagar
A. To explore architecture styles. B. To raise funds for his company.
C. To offer convenience to the students. D. To improve students’ learning ability.
5. What does the underlined word “orient” in Paragraph 2 mean
A. Relax. B. Waken. C. Cheer. D. Direct.
6. How does the school help students perform daily routine
A. By expanding activity areas. B. By stimulating multiple senses.
C. By offering behavioral guidelines. D. By strengthening safety measures.
7. What will Sonecha probably do in the future
A. Promote accessibility in the public regions. B. Modernize architecture with smart devices.
C. Build special schools for disabled students. D. Decorate schools with traditional elements.
C
When we recall a memory, we bring back specific details about it. But we often also experience a vivid feeling of remembering the event. Memory researchers call these processes objective and subjective memory. A new study shows they can function independently and involve different parts of the brain.
“The study distinguishes between how well we remember and how well we think we remember, and shows that decision making depends primarily on the subjective evaluation of memory evidence,” says psychologist Denis Guetta.
The researchers tested objective and subjective memory. After showing volunteers a series of images of common objects, the researchers showed them pairs of images and asked them to determine which of the two they had seen before. They were asked to rate the memory as “recollected” (vivid and detailed), or “familiar” (lacking detail). Some tests showed similar image pairs, others unrelated pairs. This setup measured objective memory based on recognition and subjective memory based on vividness.
The researchers also used fMRI (功能性磁共振成像) to measure brain activity during this task. The results showed higher levels of objective memory with pairs of similar images, but participants claimed vivid memories more with dissimilar pairs. They were more likely to base their decision about whether to keep or clear an image on memory feeling rather than accuracy. For example, a person could have a vivid memory of going to an event with friends. Some of the actual details of that memory might be a bit off, but they may feel it is a vivid memory, so they might decide to go out with the same people again.
The fMRI data showed that objective and subjective memory engaged varied regions of the brain. The regions involved in subjective experiences were also involved in decision making, supporting the connection between the two processes.
“By understanding how our brains give rise to vivid subjective memories and memory decisions, we are moving a step closer to understanding how we learn to evaluate memory evidence to make effective decisions in the future,” says researcher Analiz William.
8. How does the author introduce the topic of the text
A. By analyzing problems. B. By giving examples.
C. By interpreting findings. D. By defining concepts.
9. What were the volunteers asked to do during the study
A. To draw the images they had previously seen.
B. To compare details of objects they had been shown.
C. To categorize their memory as recollected or familiar.
D. To recall specific emotions related to the images shown.
10. What does the research find out about decision making
A. Both types of memory have great influence on it.
B. Our vivid memory helps us make wise decisions.
C. It mainly relies on subjective memory evaluation.
D. It’s decided by the accuracy of objective memory.
11. What is Analiz William’s attitude towards the study
A. Optimistic. B. Tolerant.
C. Doubtful. D. Dismissive.
D
An ancient, interdependent relationship that contributes to food systems and ecosystem stability across the globe could be changing.
Many flowering plants can self-pollinate (自花传粉), or transfer pollen between their own blossoms for seed generation and reproduction, but most of these plants have relied on pollinators such as butterflies and bees to reproduce. Now — during declines reported in many pollinator populations — a new study on the evolution of one flower species’ mating system has revealed a remarkable change that could worsen the challenges faced by the plants’ insect partners.
The flowers reproductive evolution may be linked to environmental changes such as habitat destruction and rapid ongoing decreases in pollinator biodiversity, according to Samson Acoca-Pidolle, who led the study published December 19 in the journal New Phytologist.
Comparing seeds of wild field pansies (三色堇) collected decades ago in France with the plants’ modern descendants. Acoca-Pidolle and his colleagues discovered that today’s flowers are smaller and produce less nectar (花蜜) as a result of increased self-pollination, which has direct impacts on pollinator behavior.The pansies of the past self-fertilized less and attracted far more pollinators than those of the present, according to the study.
“It seems that it’s only traits (特性) that are involved in plant-pollinator interaction that are evolving, ” said Acoca-Pidolle. The changes could restrict the plants’ ability to adapt to future environmental changes and have implications for “all of floral biodiversity” — potentially decreasing flowering plants’ genetic, species and ecosystem variation.
“This may increase the pollinator decline and cause a negative feedback cycle,” study coauthor Pierre-Olivier Cheptou told CNN.” If plants produce less nectar, there will be less food available to pollinators, which will in turn accelerate the rate at which the animals’ numbers decrease“, he explained.
“The major message is that we are currently seeing the evolutionary breakdown of plant pollinators in the wild,” said Cheptou, an evolutionary ecologist at the French National Centre for Scientific Research and professor at the University of Montpellier.
12. Which of the following may contribute to the flowers’ reproductive evolution
A. Changed behaviour of pollinators. B. Severe pollution to the habitats.
C Continuing decline in pollinator biodiversity. D. Increased plant-pollinator interaction.
13. Why were pansies in the past larger and produced more nectar
A. They self-pollinated less. B. They had a better mating system.
C. They attracted less pollinators. D. They were fertilized by themselves.
14. What is the result of the changes in the flowers’ reproductive evolution
A. The flowering plants may have more variations.
B. The evolution of wild plant pollinators is collapsing.
C. The numbers of the animals will increase more rapidly.
D. The plants will adapt to the environmental changes better.
15. Which is the best title for the text
A. Pollinator Populations: Declining. B. Flowering Plants: Selfing.
C. Interdependent Relationship: Maintaining. D. Floral Diversity: Increasing.

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。
It took a day’s drive, but distance was beside the point. I always enjoyed long journeys in my father’s car with my family. However, things went different that time. We were moving to a new town, not for any tourist destination, but to settle down, for my father had a new job there. My mother, sitting on the passenger seat in the front, was talking with my father. She looked excited for the coming new life. But I was down, feeling nervous about starting a new school life. Entering a new school meant adapting to a completely different environment and meeting new classmates and teachers, which I was not good at.
On my first day at the new school, I felt lost and out of place. The students already knew each other well, and they chatted happily during breaks. I missed my old friends terribly and wished I could go back to my old school. Feeling lonely. I often spent time alone during breaks and after classes, reading books in the library or drawing pictures in the art room. I missed the good days I had with my old friends and longed for that sense of belonging.
As the days went by, I still found it hard to fit in. I was shy and found it difficult to strike up conversations with my classmates. Some of the kids in my class noticed my discomfort and tried to be friendly, but I couldn’t shake off the feeling of being an outsider. I only had words with my desk mate, Alex, when necessary. Things took a turn for the worse when I knocked off Alex’s water bottle by accident, although I picked up the bottle immediately and apologized to him. He got mad at me and seemed not to forgive me. Soon I found we were avoiding each other.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；

The school provides an open space serving as a platform for the visually-challenged students to play, perform, or celebrate festivals and the students are easy to orient themselves according to the sound, smell, sight and touch. “The idea behind the design was to make the school more accessible to the students,” Sonecha says, “They come from remote villages and towns in Gujarat, and I am eager to help them.”
During the construction, Sonecha used contrasting colors so that students could easily distinguish between the elements. Blue was used for all classroom doors, yellow for the entrance gate, black for switch buttons, and yellow and green for the furniture. All these colors contrasted with the white walls of the school, helping the students locate different elements. Different areas are of different height and width, which makes the sounds and noises change according to the echo (回音) produced in these spaces. Furthermore, he cooperated with fellow landscape architect Lokendra Balasaria to plant more than 1, 000 plants of 37 species. These sweet plants have been grown not only to lead the children to move in the school through smell but also to attract butterflies and birds, and provide shade.
“The structure of the building is designed similarly to any other school building, only with a few clever elements. My intention was to avoid making it look distinct from other schools,” Sonecha explains, “I hope that there are no different schools for such students. Instead, all these elements should be added to public spaces for them. And my follow-up efforts may be there.”
4. Why did Sonecha design the school in Gandhinagar
A. To explore architecture styles. B. To raise funds for his company.
C. To offer convenience to the students. D. To improve students’ learning ability.
5. What does the underlined word “orient” in Paragraph 2 mean
A. Relax. B. Waken. C. Cheer. D. Direct.
6. How does the school help students perform daily routine
A. By expanding activity areas. B. By stimulating multiple senses.
C. By offering behavioral guidelines. D. By strengthening safety measures.
7. What will Sonecha probably do in the future
A. Promote accessibility in the public regions. B. Modernize architecture with smart devices.
C. Build special schools for disabled students. D. Decorate schools with traditional elements.
【答案】4. C 5. D 6. B 7. A

When we recall a memory, we bring back specific details about it. But we often also experience a vivid feeling of remembering the event. Memory researchers call these processes objective and subjective memory. A new study shows they can function independently and involve different parts of the brain.
“The study distinguishes between how well we remember and how well we think we remember, and shows that decision making depends primarily on the subjective evaluation of memory evidence,” says psychologist Denis Guetta.
The researchers tested objective and subjective memory. After showing volunteers a series of images of common objects, the researchers showed them pairs of images and asked them to determine which of the two they had seen before. They were asked to rate the memory as “recollected” (vivid and detailed), or “familiar” (lacking detail). Some tests showed similar image pairs, others unrelated pairs. This setup measured objective memory based on recognition and subjective memory based on vividness.
The researchers also used fMRI (功能性磁共振成像) to measure brain activity during this task. The results showed higher levels of objective memory with pairs of similar images, but participants claimed vivid memories more with dissimilar pairs. They were more likely to base their decision about whether to keep or clear an image on memory feeling rather than accuracy. For example, a person could have a vivid memory of going to an event with friends. Some of the actual details of that memory might be a bit off, but they may feel it is a vivid memory, so they might decide to go out with the same people again.
The fMRI data showed that objective and subjective memory engaged varied regions of the brain. The regions involved in subjective experiences were also involved in decision making, supporting the connection between the two processes.
“By understanding how our brains give rise to vivid subjective memories and memory decisions, we are moving a step closer to understanding how we learn to evaluate memory evidence to make effective decisions in the future,” says researcher Analiz William.
8. How does the author introduce the topic of the text
A. By analyzing problems. B. By giving examples.
C. By interpreting findings. D. By defining concepts.
9. What were the volunteers asked to do during the study
A. To draw the images they had previously seen.
B. To compare details of objects they had been shown.
C. To categorize their memory as recollected or familiar.
D. To recall specific emotions related to the images shown.
10. What does the research find out about decision making
A. Both types of memory have great influence on it.
B. Our vivid memory helps us make wise decisions.
C. It mainly relies on subjective memory evaluation.
D. It’s decided by the accuracy of objective memory.
11. What is Analiz William’s attitude towards the study
A. Optimistic. B. Tolerant.
C. Doubtful. D. Dismissive.

An ancient, interdependent relationship that contributes to food systems and ecosystem stability across the globe could be changing.
Many flowering plants can self-pollinate (自花传粉), or transfer pollen between their own blossoms for seed generation and reproduction, but most of these plants have relied on pollinators such as butterflies and bees to reproduce. Now — during declines reported in many pollinator populations — a new study on the evolution of one flower species’ mating system has revealed a remarkable change that could worsen the challenges faced by the plants’ insect partners.
The flowers reproductive evolution may be linked to environmental changes such as habitat destruction and rapid ongoing decreases in pollinator biodiversity, according to Samson Acoca-Pidolle, who led the study published December 19 in the journal New Phytologist.
Comparing seeds of wild field pansies (三色堇) collected decades ago in France with the plants’ modern descendants. Acoca-Pidolle and his colleagues discovered that today’s flowers are smaller and produce less nectar (花蜜) as a result of increased self-pollination, which has direct impacts on pollinator behavior.The pansies of the past self-fertilized less and attracted far more pollinators than those of the present, according to the study.
“It seems that it’s only traits (特性) that are involved in plant-pollinator interaction that are evolving ” said Acoca-Pidolle. The changes could restrict the plants’ ability to adapt to future environmental changes and have implications for “all of floral biodiversity” — potentially decreasing flowering plants’ genetic, species and ecosystem variation.
“This may increase the pollinator decline and cause a negative feedback cycle,” study coauthor Pierre-Olivier Cheptou told CNN.” If plants produce less nectar, there will be less food available to pollinators, which will in turn accelerate the rate at which the animals’ numbers decrease“, he explained.
“The major message is that we are currently seeing the evolutionary breakdown of plant pollinators in the wild” said Cheptou, an evolutionary ecologist at the French National Centre for Scientific Research and professor at the University of Montpellier.
12. Which of the following may contribute to the flowers’ reproductive evolution
A. Changed behaviour of pollinators. B. Severe pollution to the habitats.
C. Continuing decline in pollinator biodiversity. D. Increased plant-pollinator interaction.
13. Why were pansies in the past larger and produced more nectar
A. They self-pollinated less. B. They had a better mating system.
C. They attracted less pollinators. D. They were fertilized by themselves.
14. What is the result of the changes in the flowers’ reproductive evolution
A. The flowering plants may have more variations.
B. The evolution of wild plant pollinators is collapsing.
C. The numbers of the animals will increase more rapidly.
D. The plants will adapt to the environmental changes better.
15. Which is the best title for the text
A. Pollinator Populations: Declining. B. Flowering Plants: Selfing.
C. Interdependent Relationship: Maintaining. D. Floral Diversity: Increasing.
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. B 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述了由于环境变化如栖息地破坏和传粉者多样性的快速减少，一种花种的繁殖系统进化可能导致花朵变得更小，花蜜产量减少，从而更多地自我授粉，这对传粉者行为产生了直接影响。这种进化可能会限制植物对环境变化的适应能力，并可能加剧传粉者种群的下降，形成恶性循环，揭示植物与传粉者之间生态关系的潜在演变及其可能带来的生态影响。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“The flowers reproductive evolution may be linked to environmental changes such as habitat destruction and rapid ongoing decreases in pollinator biodiversity, according to Samson Acoca-Pidolle, who led the study published December 19 in the journal New Phytologist. (12月19日发表在《新植物学家》（New Phytologist）杂志上的这项研究的萨姆森·阿科卡-皮多尔（Samson Acoca-Pidolle）表示，花的生殖进化可能与环境变化有关，例如栖息地破坏和传粉媒介生物多样性的快速持续下降。)”可知，传粉生物多样性持续下降可能有助于花的生殖进化，故选C项。

(Acoca-Pidolle和他的同事们发现，由于自花授粉的增加，今天的花朵更小，产生的花蜜（花蜜）更少，这对传粉者的行为有直接影响。)”可知，过去的三色堇更大，花蜜很多是因为他们自花授粉少，故选A项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第最后一段““The major message is that we are currently seeing the evolutionary breakdown of plant pollinators in the wild,” said Cheptou, an evolutionary ecologist at the French National Centre for Scientific Research and professor at the University of Montpellier. (“主要的信息是，我们目前看到野生植物传粉媒介的进化崩溃，”法国国家科学研究中心的进化生态学家、蒙彼利埃大学教授切普图说。)”可知，花朵繁殖进化变化导致野生植物传粉者的进化正在崩溃，故选B项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段“The flowers reproductive evolution may be linked to environmental changes such as habitat destruction and rapid ongoing decreases in pollinator biodiversity, according to Samson Acoca-Pidolle, who led the study published December 19 in the journal New Phytologist.(这项研究发表在12月19日的《新植物学家》(New phyologist)杂志上，该研究的负责人Samson Acoca-Pidolle表示，这种花的生殖进化可能与环境变化有关，比如栖息地的破坏和传粉媒介生物多样性的迅速减少。”并通读全文可知，由于环境变化如栖息地破坏和传粉者多样性的快速减少，开花植物正在更多地自我授粉，这是由于传粉者种群减少和环境变化导致的，“开花植物:自我授粉”适合作标题。故选B项。

考查被动语态。句意：这种困惑源于湘菜是如何被介绍给美国公众的。根据句意可知，空处描述过去的事情，应用一般过去时。介词in后为how引导的宾语从句，动词introduce与名词food之间是被动关系，应用被动语态。故填was introduced。
【37题详解】
考查动词不定式。句意：据中国美食博客Red Cook的作者Kian Lam Kho说，据说1945年有一群中国厨师接受过湘菜和川菜的培训。be said to do sth.“据说”为固定搭配，根据句意可知，动作已经发生，应用动词不定式的完成式，也可用动词不定式完成式的被动语态。故填to have trained/to have been trained。
【38题详解】
考查时态。句意：后来，当他们在美国寻找机会时，他们把湘菜和川菜带到了纽约，在那里，这两种烹饪风格都经过了调整，以适应当地的口味。根据brought可知，空处描述过去发生的动作，应用一般过去时，动词用过去式。故填sought。
【39题详解】
考查连词。句意：后来，当他们在美国寻找机会时，他们把湖南菜和四川菜带到了纽约，在那里，这两种烹饪风格都经过了调整，以适应当地的口味。此处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词是New York，表示地点的名词，应用where引导定语从句，关系词在从句中作地点状语。或者空处用and，连接前后两句话，表示并列。故填where/and。
【40题详解】
考查代词。句意：正如Kho所说，这两种菜系提供了不同的味道。as sb. put it“正如某人所说”为固定搭配。故填it。
41题详解】
考查冠词。句意：川菜的特点是使用花椒粒，它提供一种独特的麻的感觉。此处feeling为可数名词单数，应用不定冠词表泛指，所连接的单词unique的发音以辅音音素开头，故填a。
【42题详解】
考查名词。句意：另一方面，湘菜以其大胆和辛辣的口味而闻名，它的特点是将新鲜的辣椒和大蒜结合在一起，创造出强烈的辛辣味道。根据the和of fresh chilies (辣椒) and garlic可知，空处应用名词combination(不可数)，作宾语。故填combination。
【43题详解】
考查介词。句意：与川菜不同，湘菜通常不包括四川胡椒的麻木感。根据句意可知，此处应用表示“与……不同”的介词unlike，句首单词首字母应大写。故填Unlike。
【44题详解】
考查连词。句意：与令人困惑的四川菜相比，湖南菜是怎样独特的令人惊讶。根据句意可知，空处应用连词how引导主语从句。故填how。
【45题详解】

【答案】Dear Mr. Wang,
I’m a student from Senior 3 in our school and I’m quite concerned about the condition of some books in our school library, so I’m writing to you to see if some changes could be made.
When I was going through books on the second floor in the library last week, I found some of them were terribly damaged, which had prevented my further reading. Therefore, I’m wondering whether you could repair or substitute the broken books and also educate the students to take good care of the books when borrowing them.

Yours sincerely,

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。
It took a day’s drive, but distance was beside the point. I always enjoyed long journeys in my father’s car with my family. However, things went different that time. We were moving to a new town, not for any tourist destination, but to settle down, for my father had a new job there. My mother, sitting on the passenger seat in the front, was talking with my father. She looked excited for the coming new life. But I was down, feeling nervous about starting a new school life. Entering a new school meant adapting to a completely different environment and meeting new classmates and teachers, which I was not good at.
On my first day at the new school, I felt lost and out of place. The students already knew each other well, and they chatted happily during breaks. I missed my old friends terribly and wished I could go back to my old school. Feeling lonely. I often spent time alone during breaks and after classes, reading books in the library or drawing pictures in the art room. I missed the good days I had with my old friends and longed for that sense of belonging.
As the days went by, I still found it hard to fit in. I was shy and found it difficult to strike up conversations with my classmates. Some of the kids in my class noticed my discomfort and tried to be friendly, but I couldn’t shake off the feeling of being an outsider. I only had words with my desk mate, Alex, when necessary. Things took a turn for the worse when I knocked off Alex’s water bottle by accident, although I picked up the bottle immediately and apologized to him. He got mad at me and seemed not to forgive me. Soon I found we were avoiding each other.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】However, I was assigned to pair up with Alex to design a poster. Reluctantly, we started working together. I was worried that working with Alex would be very difficult because of our previous relationship. But to my surprise, as the work progressed, we found that we shared many common interests. We put a lot of efforts into the drawings and texts, and finally we completed a quite outstanding poster. Alex seemed to forgive me. He appreciated my efforts and began to care about my feelings. The teacher highly praised our work and our classmates were amazed at the picture on the poster.
Alex proudly introduced that the fantastic picture was drawn by me. I smiled shyly but happily as my classmates crowned me and gave me a thumbs-up. Slowly but surely, I started feeling more comfortable in my new school. I made new friends, including Alex, and began to participate in activities in and after classes. By the end of the school year, I had fully adapted to the new environment. Moving to a new town was not only challenging, but it also opened up a world of opportunities and new experiences for me.
