阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
It might have been a really bad stressful day, feeling trapped inside by the cold and snow which surrounded us. My husband was the first to shift his consciousness. He dressed accordingly and announced that he was going outside to build a giant snowman.
At first he stood alone, piling massive amounts of snow. Soon after a neighbor joined in my husband’s pursuit to embrace the opportunity the winter presented. Maintaining less than desirable attitude, we unwillingly put on our snow equipment and headed outside. It wasn’t long before we were smiling and enjoying the snow that Mother Nature had provided. Others came to our yard one by one to give a hand in the making of our giant snowman.
In the end we all stood back, amazed at what we had created. He was eleven feet high, twenty-five feet around at the base and decorated with many household items supplied by various families. There he stood, our glorious, enormous snowman.
People drove by and smiled. Some even stopped to enjoy his existence. The spirit that went into creating him seemed to catch on and we all enjoyed it while the cold temperatures permitted.
With the passing of time, the spring made its way back into our yard and the snowman changed form considerably. In a final effort to save what we created for just a little bit longer, somebody stopped by and changed the snowman’s remains to look like a rabbit.
As I prepared for the start of another week, I decided to check my email before going to bed. I found a curious message that contained the subject line: enjoy the snowman. I decided to read the message even though I did not recognize who sent it. The words it contained melted my heart.
The email said: …your neighbor look son in disbelief! I am sure you people are enjoying the sounds and smells, along with sights of spring. The energy displayed in Mr. Snowman or Ms, is filled with joyous energy. You and your family keep it up, as this is what the world needs now. Love sweet love. More power to you and your loved ones, keep sharing with the world around.
Perhaps it was more than snowman we built that day. I’d like to agree that it was. The message seems clear. Our circumstances will turn out to be what we make of them. The possibilities are endless and the choice is ours.
21. Why did her husband want to make a snowman
A. He desired to lift his spirits. B. He was better at it than others.
C. He meant to please his neighbors. D. He must get the last chance before spring.
22. What can we learn from paragraph 2
A. Not all the neighbors would like to help them.
B. All the neighbors enjoyed building the snowman.
C. The writer didn’t approve of her husband’s going out.
D. The writer wouldn’t love to join her husband initially.
23. What can we know about the snowman
A. It was surprisingly big in size. B. It made people more forgiving.
C. It was built by the author’s family. D. It made building snowman popular.
24. What can we infer from the passage
A. There are many opportunities in our life .
B. Choices are more practical than possibilities.
C. We can decide our way of life through our choice.
D. We must have our own opinions about our decision.
B
In a digital age, we almost never write things by hand. However, multiple studies have shown that this act has many benefits.
New brain research, led by researchers at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, confirms the same choosing handwriting over using a keyboard results in better learning and memory.
“When you write your shopping list or lecture notes by hand, you simply remember the content better afterwards,” said Audrey Van der Meer, author of the study.
The study was conducted using equipment to track and record brain wave activity. The participants included 12 young adults and 12 children. This is the first time that children have participated in such a study. Each subject was asked to write by hand and type on a keyboard while wearing a hood (风帽) with over 250 electrodes (电极). The sensors (传感器) in the electrodes are very sensitive and pick up the electrical activity that takes place in the brain. Each examination took 45 minutes per person.
The results showed that the brain in both young adults and children is much more active when writing by hand than when typing on a keyboard. According to Van der Meer, plenty of senses are activated (激活) by pressing a pen on paper, seeing the letters written and hearing the sound made while writing. These sense experiences build contact between different parts of the brain, opening the brain up for learning.
Van der Meer believes that the outcomes stress the importance of children being challenged to draw and write at an early age, especially at school. “Learning to write by hand is a bit slower process, but it’s important for children to go through the tiring phase of learning to write by hand”, she said.
The hand movements used to form the shapes of letters are beneficial in several ways. “If you use a keyboard, you use the same movement for each letter. Writing by hand requires control of your fine motor (精细动作) skills and senses. It’s important to put the brain in a learning state as often as possible,” Van der Meer added. For example, you might use a keyboard to write an essay, but you should take notes by hand during a lecture.
25. What do we know about the study
A. The study involved 45 participants altogether.
B. The participants were divided into two groups to conduct.
C. All the participants were gathered together for examinations.
D. The sensors in the electrodes were used to track brain wave activity.
26 Why does the brain become more active when writing by hand than when typing on a keyboard according to Van der Meer
A. More senses are made active when writing by hand.
B. Writing by hand is easier on the brain.
C. Noise made by typing doesn’t distract the brain when writing by hand.
D. The brain is more used to the skills required to write by hand.
27. How does Van der Meer think handwriting benefits people
A. It increases people’s interest in learning. B. It helps people develop fine motor skills.
C. It allows children to become more patient. D. It allows people to write better essays.
28. What’s the main purpose of the text
A. To report on new research on handwriting
B. To encourage the use of handwriting
C. To explain how handwriting affects adults and children differently
D. To advise children to start to write early
C
Below, find four of the very best fall movies - which are not necessarily movies set in the fall, but which represent fall in some way - to get you through to December.
When Harry Met Sally...(1989)
When I think of fall, I automatically picture Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal walking through a leaf-strewn Central Park and talk about Sally’s ultimate sexual fantasy. The film cycles through various seasons, but it feels brightest and most alive in fall, making it the perfect thing to get you through a frustrating November afternoon.
Autumn in New York (2000)
I mean... how could I not include this one Title aside, this Winona Ryder features many of the things I most as sociate with fall, including Central Park, small museums, and a woman dressed up as Emily Dickinson. We love to see it and cry at it.
The Royal Tenenhaums (2001)
There’s simply no film character who represents the concept of autumn quite like Margot Tenenbaum. Her seasonally appropriate clipped hair, charming eyes, and wardrobe of primarily browns all but scream out the reason for the season; and while signature fur coat might seem more winter near, her fondness for pairing it with Lacoste polo dresses is fall all the way. In what other season can you wear a coat with a dress, logically speaking
Mona Lisa Smile (2003)
I’m actually an enthusiastic advocate of watching this Julia Roberts/Julia Stiles/Kirsten Dunst trifecta (三强联袂) in any season, but watching it in fall will make you desire a well-knitted sweater and a thermos of tea to take along with you while you cheer for the boys at the Harvard-Yale game.
29. In what film does a lady dress herself as Emily Dickinson
A. When Harry Met Sally B. Autumn in New York
C. The Royal Tenenhaums D. Mona Lisa Smile
30. What is demonstrated through Margot Tenenbaum’s appearance and dresses
A. Her way of love. B. Her taste in makeup.
C. Something relevant to fall. D. Something concerning clothes.
31. What do the four movies have in common
A. All are set in December. B. All reflect fall to some extent.
C. All of them were shot before 2000. D. All display the beauty of different seasons.
D
In a response to the threat posed by rising sea levels, South Korea showed the world’s first model of sustainable floating city in Busan.
“Sea level rise poses a threat for some small islands and some low-lying coasts,” says a recent report. The global sea level has risen by eight to nine inches since 1880. What’s more frightening is that one-third of the rise in sea level happened in the last 25 years.
The floating city aims to provide technology for coastal cities facing severe land shortages that are combined by climatic threats. The city will serve as the “world’s first model sustainable floating city” aiming to be “a structure that rises with the sea” supplying its own food, energy and water.
The floating city has six combined systems: zero waste and circular systems, closed-loop water systems, food, net-zero energy, innovative movement, and coastal habitat regeneration. These interconnected systems will generate 100 percent of the required energy through floating and rooftop photovoltaic panels(光伏板).
Each neighborhood will treat and refill its own water, process and recycle resources, and provide innovative urban agriculture. The floating city is the world’s first model of a sustainable floating community. The interconnected neighborhoods spread across 6.3 hectares that can hold a community of12,000 people. Starting from a community of 3 platforms with 12,000 residents and visitors, it has the potential to expand to more than 20 platforms. The floating platforms have dozens of productive stations with photovoltaic panels and greenhouses that can expand and contract(收缩) over time based on the city’s needs.
“I take seriously our commitment ‘ The First to the Future’. Our common future is at risk in the face of sea level rise and its impact on coastal cities,” said Busan Mayor Park Heong-joon, who has set a schedule, including turning Busan into a green smart city and compete for World Expo 2030.
This is as frightening as it is exciting to reach such an achievement, but living in a city that is like the communities where people try to survive in the movie Water World is kind of unhappy.
32. Why does South Korea build the floating city
A. To deal with the sea level rise. B. To develop the sustainable energy.
C. To increase the land to grow plants. D. To help reduce the global temperature.
33. What can we know about the floating city
A. It doesn’t need agriculture. B. It has six separate systems.
C. It produces energy by rooftop. D. It can provide almost everything by itself.
34. What is Paragraph 5 mainly about
A. How the floating city will operate in its way.
B. How many people the floating city will hold.
C. How the floating city will produce its energy.
D. How the floating city will recycle its resources.
35. What might be the best title for the passage
A. Busan witnesses sea level rise. B. Rising sea level threatens Busan.
C. Living in a floating city is exciting. D. The first floating city is on the way.
第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
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。
The first way we learn to communicate is through body language — our facial expressions, our gestures and, when we’re older, our postures. Even after we figure out how to speak, this non-verbal communication still exerts (施加) a powerful and often unconscious influence over our interactions, people’s first impressions of us and even our impressions of ourselves. ____36____.
Change how you feel
To de-stress: Forcing a smile can make running easier and tough tasks less stressful. One 2012 experiment found that a grin makes holding your hand in ice water more bearable.
To feel more confident: ____37____. Striking this so-called power pose shortly before an interview or athletic contest can be particularly powerful for women, who tend to sit and stand in a way that takes up less space.
To persevere: ____38____. In a 2008 study, students who sat with their arms crossed kept working on an impossible problem nearly twice as long as those with their arms at their sides.
Change how others feel
____39____: Studies show that holding someone’s gaze may help people think you’re trustworthy and intelligent. According to body language expert Carol Kinsey Goman, it can also make people think you’re a good listener.
To foster connections: Mirroring the facial expressions and gestures of the person you’re talking to can help them feel more comfortable. One 2011 experiment found this is an effective sales skill.
To engage or disengage: If you want to let someone know you’re listening, sit facing them with your full body, knees and shoulders pointed at them. ____40____.
A To come across as sincere
B. But if you want to spread tension, angle your body slightly away — facing full-on is confrontational (对抗性的) when things get heated
C. Here’s how to use body language to everyone’s benefit
D. Making your index finger (食指) and middle finger crossed can help you gather strength
E. To inform people
F. Standing like Wonder Woman — legs apart, hands on hips, chest up — may make you feel more powerful

Our Garden and the Salad
“Christine, come and help me in the garden. I want to plant all of the seeds today.” My father was calling to me. “I'm busy...” I said. I didn't understand why working in the dirt excited him so much.
By the end of April, his plants had come up in neat rows. Unfortunately, in early May, my father was seriously injured in an accident. He was in hospital for about two months and during that time he often asked me about his garden. Even after he came home, he had to stay in bed for a while.
My mother had several business trips so I said that I would take care of his garden. I assumed that the little plants would continue to grow as long as they had water, and luckily it rained fairly often so I didn't think much about the garden.
One Saturday morning in July, my father said to me, “Christine, I think that the vegetables should be about ready to be picked. Let's have a salad today!” I took a bowl and went out to the garden. I looked at the leaves and was upset to see that many of the leaves had been half eaten. There were hundreds of bugs (虫子) all over them! I tried to get them off, but there were just too many. I looked at the carrots next, but they didn't look healthy.
I got in panic for a moment, but then thought of a good idea. I quietly went to the nearest store to buy some vegetables. I went back home and cut them up to make a salad for my father. When I gave it to him, he said, “Oh, Christine, what a beautiful salad! You must be taking very good care of my garden.” My father looked happy, but I felt a little bit guilty.
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 went back to the kitchen when my mother came home.

It might have been a really bad stressful day, feeling trapped inside by the cold and snow which surrounded us. My husband was the first to shift his consciousness. He dressed accordingly and announced that he was going outside to build a giant snowman.

The first way we learn to communicate is through body language — our facial expressions, our gestures and, when we’re older, our postures. Even after we figure out how to speak, this non-verbal communication still exerts (施加) a powerful and often unconscious influence over our interactions, people’s first impressions of us and even our impressions of ourselves. ____36____.
Change how you feel
To de-stress: Forcing a smile can make running easier and tough tasks less stressful. One 2012 experiment found that a grin makes holding your hand in ice water more bearable.
To feel more confident: ____37____. Striking this so-called power pose shortly before an interview or athletic contest can be particularly powerful for women, who tend to sit and stand in a way that takes up less space.
To persevere: ____38____. In a 2008 study, students who sat with their arms crossed kept working on an impossible problem nearly twice as long as those with their arms at their sides.
Change how others feel
____39____: Studies show that holding someone’s gaze may help people think you’re trustworthy and intelligent. According to body language expert Carol Kinsey Goman, it can also make people think you’re a good listener.
To foster connections: Mirroring the facial expressions and gestures of the person you’re talking to can help them feel more comfortable. One 2011 experiment found this is an effective sales skill.
To engage or disengage: If you want to let someone know you’re listening, sit facing them with your full body, knees and shoulders pointed at them. ____40____.
A. To come across as sincere
B. But if you want to spread tension, angle your body slightly away — facing full-on is confrontational (对抗性的) when things get heated
C. Here’s how to use body language to everyone’s benefit
D. Making your index finger (食指) and middle finger crossed can help you gather strength
E. To inform people
F. Standing like Wonder Woman — legs apart, hands on hips, chest up — may make you feel more powerful
G. Crossing your arms across your chest can help you persist in solving a problem

Our Garden and the Salad
“Christine, come and help me in the garden. I want to plant all of the seeds today.” My father was calling to me. “I'm busy...” I said. I didn't understand why working in the dirt excited him so much.
By the end of April, his plants had come up in neat rows. Unfortunately, in early May, my father was seriously injured in an accident. He was in hospital for about two months and during that time he often asked me about his garden. Even after he came home, he had to stay in bed for a while.
My mother had several business trips so I said that I would take care of his garden. I assumed that the little plants would continue to grow as long as they had water, and luckily it rained fairly often so I didn't think much about the garden.
One Saturday morning in July, my father said to me, “Christine, I think that the vegetables should be about ready to be picked. Let's have a salad today!” I took a bowl and went out to the garden. I looked at the leaves and was upset to see that many of the leaves had been half eaten. There were hundreds of bugs (虫子) all over them! I tried to get them off, but there were just too many. I looked at the carrots next, but they didn't look healthy.
I got in panic for a moment, but then thought of a good idea. I quietly went to the nearest store to buy some vegetables. I went back home and cut them up to make a salad for my father. When I gave it to him, he said, “Oh, Christine, what a beautiful salad! You must be taking very good care of my garden.” My father looked happy, but I felt a little bit guilty.
注意:
1.续写词数应150左右；

I went back to the kitchen when my mother came home.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I carefully made a salad and took it to my father.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
I went back to the kitchen when my mother came home. She saw the bag from the supermarket. I was embarrassed and told her the truth. She laughed but promised to make time to help me in the garden. We made a mixture of water with chopped up fresh hot peppers and then watered it on the vegetables. The water is not harmful but can drive away the bugs. The bug free vegetables grew quickly, and finally I was able to pick some.
I carefully made a salad and took it to my father. He looked at it with a smile. “Christine, the carrots are smaller in this salad, but they taste better.” I realized that he had known all along about my shopping trip. I smiled back at him. Now, I better understand how putting a lot of effort into caring for something can help you appreciate the results more, however small they may be.

第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分）
第一节 （共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
It might have been a really bad stressful day, feeling trapped inside by the cold and snow which surrounded us. My husband was the first to shift his consciousness. He dressed accordingly and announced that he was going outside to build a giant snowman.
At first he stood alone, piling massive amounts of snow. Soon after a neighbor joined in my husband’s pursuit to embrace the opportunity the winter presented. Maintaining less than desirable attitude, we unwillingly put on our snow equipment and headed outside. It wasn’t long before we were smiling and enjoying the snow that Mother Nature had provided. Others came to our yard one by one to give a hand in the making of our giant snowman.
In the end we all stood back, amazed at what we had created. He was eleven feet high, twenty-five feet around at the base and decorated with many household items supplied by various families. There he stood, our glorious, enormous snowman.
People drove by and smiled. Some even stopped to enjoy his existence. The spirit that went into creating him seemed to catch on and we all enjoyed it while the cold temperatures permitted.
With the passing of time, the spring made its way back into our yard and the snowman changed form considerably. In a final effort to save what we created for just a little bit longer, somebody stopped by and changed the snowman’s remains to look like a rabbit.
As I prepared for the start of another week, I decided to check my email before going to bed. I found a curious message that contained the subject line: enjoy the snowman. I decided to read the message even though I did not recognize who sent it. The words it contained melted my heart.
The email said: …your neighbor look son in disbelief! I am sure you people are enjoying the sounds and smells, along with sights of spring. The energy displayed in Mr. Snowman or Ms, is filled with joyous energy. You and your family keep it up, as this is what the world needs now. Love sweet love. More power to you and your loved ones, keep sharing with the world around.
Perhaps it was more than snowman we built that day. I’d like to agree that it was. The message seems clear. Our circumstances will turn out to be what we make of them. The possibilities are endless and the choice is ours.
21. Why did her husband want to make a snowman
A. He desired to lift his spirits. B. He was better at it than others.
C. He meant to please his neighbors. D. He must get the last chance before spring.
22. What can we learn from paragraph 2
A. Not all the neighbors would like to help them.
B. All the neighbors enjoyed building the snowman.
C. The writer didn’t approve of her husband’s going out.
D. The writer wouldn’t love to join her husband initially.
23. What can we know about the snowman
A. It was surprisingly big in size. B. It made people more forgiving.
C. It was built by the author’s family. D. It made building snowman popular.
24. What can we infer from the passage
A. There are many opportunities in our life .
B. Choices are more practical than possibilities.
C. We can decide our way of life through our choice.
D. We must have our own opinions about our decision.
B
In a digital age, we almost never write things by hand. However, multiple studies have shown that this act has many benefits.
New brain research, led by researchers at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, confirms the same choosing handwriting over using a keyboard results in better learning and memory.
“When you write your shopping list or lecture notes by hand, you simply remember the content better afterwards,” said Audrey Van der Meer, author of the study.
The study was conducted using equipment to track and record brain wave activity. The participants included 12 young adults and 12 children. This is the first time that children have participated in such a study. Each subject was asked to write by hand and type on a keyboard while wearing a hood (风帽) with over 250 electrodes (电极). The sensors (传感器) in the electrodes are very sensitive and pick up the electrical activity that takes place in the brain. Each examination took 45 minutes per person.
The results showed that the brain in both young adults and children is much more active when writing by hand than when typing on a keyboard. According to Van der Meer, plenty of senses are activated (激活) by pressing a pen on paper, seeing the letters written and hearing the sound made while writing. These sense experiences build contact between different parts of the brain, opening the brain up for learning.
Van der Meer believes that the outcomes stress the importance of children being challenged to draw and write at an early age, especially at school. “Learning to write by hand is a bit slower process, but it’s important for children to go through the tiring phase of learning to write by hand”, she said.
The hand movements used to form the shapes of letters are beneficial in several ways. “If you use a keyboard, you use the same movement for each letter. Writing by hand requires control of your fine motor (精细动作) skills and senses. It’s important to put the brain in a learning state as often as possible,” Van der Meer added. For example, you might use a keyboard to write an essay, but you should take notes by hand during a lecture.
25. What do we know about the study
A. The study involved 45 participants altogether.
B. The participants were divided into two groups to conduct.
C. All the participants were gathered together for examinations.
D. The sensors in the electrodes were used to track brain wave activity.
26 Why does the brain become more active when writing by hand than when typing on a keyboard according to Van der Meer
A. More senses are made active when writing by hand.
B. Writing by hand is easier on the brain.
C. Noise made by typing doesn’t distract the brain when writing by hand.
D. The brain is more used to the skills required to write by hand.
27. How does Van der Meer think handwriting benefits people
A. It increases people’s interest in learning. B. It helps people develop fine motor skills.
C. It allows children to become more patient. D. It allows people to write better essays.
28. What’s the main purpose of the text
A. To report on new research on handwriting
B. To encourage the use of handwriting
C. To explain how handwriting affects adults and children differently
D. To advise children to start to write early
C
Below, find four of the very best fall movies - which are not necessarily movies set in the fall, but which represent fall in some way - to get you through to December.
When Harry Met Sally...(1989)
When I think of fall, I automatically picture Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal walking through a leaf-strewn Central Park and talk about Sally’s ultimate sexual fantasy. The film cycles through various seasons, but it feels brightest and most alive in fall, making it the perfect thing to get you through a frustrating November afternoon.
Autumn in New York (2000)
I mean... how could I not include this one Title aside, this Winona Ryder features many of the things I most as sociate with fall, including Central Park, small museums, and a woman dressed up as Emily Dickinson. We love to see it and cry at it.
The Royal Tenenhaums (2001)
There’s simply no film character who represents the concept of autumn quite like Margot Tenenbaum. Her seasonally appropriate clipped hair, charming eyes, and wardrobe of primarily browns all but scream out the reason for the season; and while signature fur coat might seem more winter near, her fondness for pairing it with Lacoste polo dresses is fall all the way. In what other season can you wear a coat with a dress, logically speaking
Mona Lisa Smile (2003)
I’m actually an enthusiastic advocate of watching this Julia Roberts/Julia Stiles/Kirsten Dunst trifecta (三强联袂) in any season, but watching it in fall will make you desire a well-knitted sweater and a thermos of tea to take along with you while you cheer for the boys at the Harvard-Yale game.
29. In what film does a lady dress herself as Emily Dickinson
A. When Harry Met Sally B. Autumn in New York
C. The Royal Tenenhaums D. Mona Lisa Smile
30. What is demonstrated through Margot Tenenbaum’s appearance and dresses
A. Her way of love. B. Her taste in makeup.
C. Something relevant to fall. D. Something concerning clothes.
31. What do the four movies have in common
A. All are set in December. B. All reflect fall to some extent.
C. All of them were shot before 2000. D. All display the beauty of different seasons.
D
In a response to the threat posed by rising sea levels, South Korea showed the world’s first model of sustainable floating city in Busan.
“Sea level rise poses a threat for some small islands and some low-lying coasts,” says a recent report. The global sea level has risen by eight to nine inches since 1880. What’s more frightening is that one-third of the rise in sea level happened in the last 25 years.
The floating city aims to provide technology for coastal cities facing severe land shortages that are combined by climatic threats. The city will serve as the “world’s first model sustainable floating city” aiming to be “a structure that rises with the sea” supplying its own food, energy and water.
The floating city has six combined systems: zero waste and circular systems, closed-loop water systems, food, net-zero energy, innovative movement, and coastal habitat regeneration. These interconnected systems will generate 100 percent of the required energy through floating and rooftop photovoltaic panels(光伏板).
Each neighborhood will treat and refill its own water, process and recycle resources, and provide innovative urban agriculture. The floating city is the world’s first model of a sustainable floating community. The interconnected neighborhoods spread across 6.3 hectares that can hold a community of12,000 people. Starting from a community of 3 platforms with 12,000 residents and visitors, it has the potential to expand to more than 20 platforms. The floating platforms have dozens of productive stations with photovoltaic panels and greenhouses that can expand and contract(收缩) over time based on the city’s needs.
“I take seriously our commitment ‘ The First to the Future’. Our common future is at risk in the face of sea level rise and its impact on coastal cities,” said Busan Mayor Park Heong-joon, who has set a schedule, including turning Busan into a green smart city and compete for World Expo 2030.
This is as frightening as it is exciting to reach such an achievement, but living in a city that is like the communities where people try to survive in the movie Water World is kind of unhappy.
32. Why does South Korea build the floating city
A. To deal with the sea level rise. B. To develop the sustainable energy.
C. To increase the land to grow plants. D. To help reduce the global temperature.
33. What can we know about the floating city
A. It doesn’t need agriculture. B. It has six separate systems.
C. It produces energy by rooftop. D. It can provide almost everything by itself.
34. What is Paragraph 5 mainly about
A. How the floating city will operate in its way.
B. How many people the floating city will hold.
C. How the floating city will produce its energy.
D. How the floating city will recycle its resources.
35. What might be the best title for the passage
A. Busan witnesses sea level rise. B. Rising sea level threatens Busan.
C. Living in a floating city is exciting. D. The first floating city is on the way.

One Saturday morning in July, my father said to me, “Christine, I think that the vegetables should be about ready to be picked. Let's have a salad today!” I took a bowl and went out to the garden. I looked at the leaves and was upset to see that many of the leaves had been half eaten. There were hundreds of bugs (虫子) all over them! I tried to get them off, but there were just too many. I looked at the carrots next, but they didn't look healthy.
I got in panic for a moment, but then thought of a good idea. I quietly went to the nearest store to buy some vegetables. I went back home and cut them up to make a salad for my father. When I gave it to him, he said, “Oh, Christine, what a beautiful salad! You must be taking very good care of my garden.” My father looked happy, but I felt a little bit guilty.

第I卷：选择题（共95分）
第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分）
第一节 （共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
It might have been a really bad stressful day, feeling trapped inside by the cold and snow which surrounded us. My husband was the first to shift his consciousness. He dressed accordingly and announced that he was going outside to build a giant snowman.
At first he stood alone, piling massive amounts of snow. Soon after a neighbor joined in my husband’s pursuit to embrace the opportunity the winter presented. Maintaining less than desirable attitude, we unwillingly put on our snow equipment and headed outside. It wasn’t long before we were smiling and enjoying the snow that Mother Nature had provided. Others came to our yard one by one to give a hand in the making of our giant snowman.
In the end we all stood back, amazed at what we had created. He was eleven feet high, twenty-five feet around at the base and decorated with many household items supplied by various families. There he stood, our glorious, enormous snowman.
People drove by and smiled. Some even stopped to enjoy his existence. The spirit that went into creating him seemed to catch on and we all enjoyed it while the cold temperatures permitted.
With the passing of time, the spring made its way back into our yard and the snowman changed form considerably. In a final effort to save what we created for just a little bit longer, somebody stopped by and changed the snowman’s remains to look like a rabbit.
As I prepared for the start of another week, I decided to check my email before going to bed. I found a curious message that contained the subject line: enjoy the snowman. I decided to read the message even though I did not recognize who sent it. The words it contained melted my heart.
The email said: …your neighbor look son in disbelief! I am sure you people are enjoying the sounds and smells, along with sights of spring. The energy displayed in Mr. Snowman or Ms, is filled with joyous energy. You and your family keep it up, as this is what the world needs now. Love sweet love. More power to you and your loved ones, keep sharing with the world around.
Perhaps it was more than snowman we built that day. I’d like to agree that it was. The message seems clear. Our circumstances will turn out to be what we make of them. The possibilities are endless and the choice is ours.

In a digital age, we almost never write things by hand. However, multiple studies have shown that this act has many benefits.
New brain research, led by researchers at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, confirms the same choosing handwriting over using a keyboard results in better learning and memory.
“When you write your shopping list or lecture notes by hand, you simply remember the content better afterwards,” said Audrey Van der Meer, author of the study.
The study was conducted using equipment to track and record brain wave activity. The participants included 12 young adults and 12 children. This is the first time that children have participated in such a study. Each subject was asked to write by hand and type on a keyboard while wearing a hood (风帽) with over 250 electrodes (电极). The sensors (传感器) in the electrodes are very sensitive and pick up the electrical activity that takes place in the brain. Each examination took 45 minutes per person.
The results showed that the brain in both young adults and children is much more active when writing by hand than when typing on a keyboard. According to Van der Meer, plenty of senses are activated (激活) by pressing a pen on paper, seeing the letters written and hearing the sound made while writing. These sense experiences build contact between different parts of the brain, opening the brain up for learning.
Van der Meer believes that the outcomes stress the importance of children being challenged to draw and write at an early age, especially at school. “Learning to write by hand is a bit slower process, but it’s important for children to go through the tiring phase of learning to write by hand”, she said.
The hand movements used to form the shapes of letters are beneficial in several ways. “If you use a keyboard, you use the same movement for each letter. Writing by hand requires control of your fine motor (精细动作) skills and senses. It’s important to put the brain in a learning state as often as possible,” Van der Meer added. For example, you might use a keyboard to write an essay, but you should take notes by hand during a lecture.
25. What do we know about the study
A. The study involved 45 participants altogether.
B. The participants were divided into two groups to conduct.
C. All the participants were gathered together for examinations.
D. The sensors in the electrodes were used to track brain wave activity.
26. Why does the brain become more active when writing by hand than when typing on a keyboard according to Van der Meer
A. More senses are made active when writing by hand.
B. Writing by hand is easier on the brain.
C. Noise made by typing doesn’t distract the brain when writing by hand.
D. The brain is more used to the skills required to write by hand.
27. How does Van der Meer think handwriting benefits people
A. It increases people’s interest in learning. B. It helps people develop fine motor skills.
C. It allows children to become more patient. D. It allows people to write better essays.
28. What’s the main purpose of the text
A. To report on new research on handwriting
B. To encourage the use of handwriting
C. To explain how handwriting affects adults and children differently
D. To advise children to start to write early
【答案】25. D 26. A 27. B 28. B

Below, find four of the very best fall movies - which are not necessarily movies set in the fall, but which represent fall in some way - to get you through to December.
When Harry Met Sally...(1989)
When I think of fall, I automatically picture Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal walking through a leaf-strewn Central Park and talk about Sally’s ultimate sexual fantasy. The film cycles through various seasons, but it feels brightest and most alive in fall, making it the perfect thing to get you through a frustrating November afternoon.
Autumn in New York (2000)
I mean... how could I not include this one Title aside, this Winona Ryder features many of the things I most as sociate with fall, including Central Park, small museums, and a woman dressed up as Emily Dickinson. We love to see it and cry at it.
The Royal Tenenhaums (2001)
There’s simply no film character who represents the concept of autumn quite like Margot Tenenbaum. Her seasonally appropriate clipped hair, charming eyes, and wardrobe of primarily browns all but scream out the reason for the season; and while signature fur coat might seem more winter near, her fondness for pairing it with Lacoste polo dresses is fall all the way. In what other season can you wear a coat with a dress, logically speaking
Mona Lisa Smile (2003)
I’m actually an enthusiastic advocate of watching this Julia Roberts/Julia Stiles/Kirsten Dunst trifecta (三强联袂) in any season, but watching it in fall will make you desire a well-knitted sweater and a thermos of tea to take along with you while you cheer for the boys at the Harvard-Yale game.
29. In what film does a lady dress herself as Emily Dickinson
A. When Harry Met Sally B. Autumn in New York
C. The Royal Tenenhaums D. Mona Lisa Smile
30. What is demonstrated through Margot Tenenbaum’s appearance and dresses
A. Her way of love. B. Her taste in makeup.
C. Something relevant to fall. D. Something concerning clothes.
31. What do the four movies have in common
A. All are set in December. B. All reflect fall to some extent.
C. All of them were shot before 2000. D. All display the beauty of different seasons.
【答案】29. B 30. C 31. B
D
In a response to the threat posed by rising sea levels, South Korea showed the world’s first model of sustainable floating city in Busan.
“Sea level rise poses a threat for some small islands and some low-lying coasts,” says a recent report. The global sea level has risen by eight to nine inches since 1880. What’s more frightening is that one-third of the rise in sea level happened in the last 25 years.
The floating city aims to provide technology for coastal cities facing severe land shortages that are combined by climatic threats. The city will serve as the “world’s first model sustainable floating city” aiming to be “a structure that rises with the sea” supplying its own food, energy and water.
The floating city has six combined systems: zero waste and circular systems closed-loop water systems, food, net-zero energy, innovative movement, and coastal habitat regeneration. These interconnected systems will generate 100 percent of the required energy through floating and rooftop photovoltaic panels(光伏板).
Each neighborhood will treat and refill its own water, process and recycle resources, and provide innovative urban agriculture. The floating city is the world’s first model of a sustainable floating community. The interconnected neighborhoods spread across 6.3 hectares that can hold a community of12,000 people. Starting from a community of 3 platforms with 12,000 residents and visitors, it has the potential to expand to more than 20 platforms. The floating platforms have dozens of productive stations with photovoltaic panels and greenhouses that can expand and contract(收缩) over time based on the city’s needs.
“I take seriously our commitment ‘ The First to the Future’. Our common future is at risk in the face of sea level rise and its impact on coastal cities,” said Busan Mayor Park Heong-joon, who has set a schedule, including turning Busan into a green smart city and compete for World Expo 2030.
This is as frightening as it is exciting to reach such an achievement, but living in a city that is like the communities where people try to survive in the movie Water World is kind of unhappy.
32. Why does South Korea build the floating city
A. To deal with the sea level rise. B. To develop the sustainable energy.
C. To increase the land to grow plants. D. To help reduce the global temperature.
33. What can we know about the floating city
A. It doesn’t need agriculture. B. It has six separate systems.
C. It produces energy by rooftop. D. It can provide almost everything by itself.
34. What is Paragraph 5 mainly about
A. How the floating city will operate in its way.
B. How many people the floating city will hold.
C. How the floating city will produce its energy.
D. How the floating city will recycle its resources.
35. What might be the best title for the passage
A. Busan witnesses sea level rise. B. Rising sea level threatens Busan.
C. Living in a floating city is exciting. D. The first floating city is on the way.
【答案】32. A 33. D 34. A 35. D
第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
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。
The first way we learn to communicate is through body language — our facial expressions, our gestures and, when we’re older, our postures. Even after we figure out how to speak, this non-verbal communication still exerts (施加) a powerful and often unconscious influence over our interactions, people’s first impressions of us and even our impressions of ourselves. ____36____.
Change how you feel
To de-stress: Forcing a smile can make running easier and tough tasks less stressful. One 2012 experiment found that a grin makes holding your hand in ice water more bearable.
To feel more confident: ____37____. Striking this so-called power pose shortly before an interview or athletic contest can be particularly powerful for women, who tend to sit and stand in a way that takes up less space.
To persevere: ____38____. In a 2008 study, students who sat with their arms crossed kept working on an impossible problem nearly twice as long as those with their arms at their sides.
Change how others feel
____39____: Studies show that holding someone’s gaze may help people think you’re trustworthy and intelligent. According to body language expert Carol Kinsey Goman, it can also make people think you’re a good listener.
To foster connections: Mirroring the facial expressions and gestures of the person you’re talking to can help them feel more comfortable. One 2011 experiment found this is an effective sales skill.
To engage or disengage: If you want to let someone know you’re listening, sit facing them with your full body, knees and shoulders pointed at them. ____40____.
A. To come across as sincere
B. But if you want to spread tension, angle your body slightly away — facing full-on is confrontational (对抗性的) when things get heated
C. Here’s how to use body language to everyone’s benefit
D. Making your index finger (食指) and middle finger crossed can help you gather strength
E. To inform people

Our Garden and the Salad
“Christine, come and help me in the garden. I want to plant all of the seeds today.” My father was calling to me. “I'm busy...” I said. I didn't understand why working in the dirt excited him so much.
By the end of April, his plants had come up in neat rows. Unfortunately, in early May, my father was seriously injured in an accident. He was in hospital for about two months and during that time he often asked me about his garden. Even after he came home, he had to stay in bed for a while.
My mother had several business trips so I said that I would take care of his garden. I assumed that the little plants would continue to grow as long as they had water, and luckily it rained fairly often so I didn't think much about the garden.
One Saturday morning in July, my father said to me, “Christine, I think that the vegetables should be about ready to be picked. Let's have a salad today!” I took a bowl and went out to the garden. I looked at the leaves and was upset to see that many of the leaves had been half eaten. There were hundreds of bugs (虫子) all over them! I tried to get them off, but there were just too many. I looked at the carrots next, but they didn't look healthy.
I got in panic for a moment, but then thought of a good idea. I quietly went to the nearest store to buy some vegetables. I went back home and cut them up to make a salad for my father.

I carefully made a salad and took it to my father.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
I went back to the kitchen when my mother came home. She saw the bag from the supermarket. I was embarrassed and told her the truth. She laughed but promised to make time to help me in the garden. We made a mixture of water with chopped up fresh hot peppers and then watered it on the vegetables. The water is not harmful but can drive away the bugs. The bug free vegetables grew quickly, and finally I was able to pick some.
I carefully made a salad and took it to my father. He looked at it with a smile. “Christine, the carrots are smaller in this salad, but they taste better.” I realized that he had known all along about my shopping trip. I smiled back at him. Now, I better understand how putting a lot of effort into caring for something can help you appreciate the results more, however small they may be.
