From helping rescued animals find permanent homes to providing care for chimpanzees (黑猩猩) that have found shelter, there's always a volunteering site for every animal lover. Here are some amazing opportunities.
Seattle Humane Society
Seattle Humane Society has been helping animals since 1897. In 2013, it adopted out a record of 6，297 pets. It provides a wide range of programs, including dog training, a pet food bank and volunteer opportunities for animal lovers. A six－month commitment is required, and all volunteers must be at least 18 years old.
Chimpanzee Shelter Northwest
Chimpanzee Shelter Northwest was founded in 2003 as a shelter for chimpanzees. It lies in the foothills of the Cascade Mountains, 90 miles east of Seattle. Volunteers have a unique opportunity to see what it takes to run a shelter. It has three levels of volunteers; Level Ⅰ volunteers help with meal preparation; Level Ⅱ volunteers help the staff clean the shelter; Level Ⅲ volunteers are trained to interact directly with the chimpanzees.
Hope For Horses
Hope For Horses has an all－volunteer team that has helped hundreds of severely abused horses since 2001. It's also rescued a variety of other animals over the years, including donkeys, chickens, geese and a goat. Volunteers provide hands－on care for horses and other animals, including medical research, site visits and assistance with adoption. All volunteers must be 18 years old.
Purrfect Pals
Purrfect Pals, which was founded in 1988, is the Pacific Northwest's largest cat－only adoption shelter and organization. And it's one of the largest cat－only shelters in North America as well. It finds home for over 2，000 cats each year. It asks for a five－month commitment and volunteers must be 18 or older.

Two pig farmers in Suffolk, East England have succeeded in feeding one million bees after participating in a project that saw them turn over half of their land to wild flowers. Four years ago, brothers Mark and Paul Hayward decided to fill 81 acres of their farm land with wild flowers. This week, a study was carried out to monitor insect activity on the flower covered land, which found they were feeding one million bees at any time.
“This was our target when we started, to grow enough flowers to feed a million bees on a single day，” Mark said. “We are acutely aware that bees are under threat from modern farming methods and that East England is one of the worst places where bees are seriously suffering from lack of foraging diversity (觅食多样性)，” he continued.
“Every third bite of food you eat can come from bees and we wanted to create an operation on our farm that did not push nature out but rather hugged it—as a central part of our ecology system and our food cycle，” he said.
The farm uses all kinds of seeds which can produce many different wild plants and of course, the bees can get food from different wild flowers.
“We are taking a very small role in helping society restore a balance and this starts with plant diversity to encourage insects, bees, small mammals (哺乳动物), and birds，” said Paul. “At the end of the day, we see ourselves as caretakers of this land. Between us we have six children and we owe it to them to farm sustainably (可持续地) and set an example for the generations to come，” added Paul.
According to the Bee Conservation Trust, many types of bees have seen their populations decline by 70%, and two species have become extinct in the last century.
Gill Perkins, CEO of the Bee Conservation Trust said, “Thanks to Mark and Paul, at least here, 1 million bees can keep living, which is of great significance for ourselves now and future.”
篇章导读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了英国两位农民种植野花，希望可以帮助蜜蜂生存的故事。
24．What can we know about the brothers from the first two paragraphs
A．They have about 160 acres of land.
B．They grow wild flowers for pigs.
C．They are not good at growing wild flowers.
D．They have to support 1，000，000 bees in their land.
答案：A
解析：细节理解题。根据第一段前两句“Two pig farmers ... farm land with wild flowers.”可知，两兄弟将81英亩的土地用来种植野花，而这些土地是两兄弟所拥有的超过一半的土地，81×2＝162，即他们拥有的土地大概是160英亩。故选A。
25．Why are bees under threat in East England
A．There is not enough food for bees.
B．Bees are not used to the modern society.
C．There are too many animals eating bees.
D．Bees can not find different wild flowers.
答案：D
解析：推理判断题。根据第二段中的“We are acutely ... of foraging diversity (觅食多样性)”可知，蜜蜂受到的威胁有两种：一是现代农业耕作方法，二是缺乏觅食多样性，即蜜蜂需要多种不同的花作为食物。由此可推知，蜜蜂找不到不同的野花。故选D。
26．What is the Gill Perkins' attitude to the action
A．Opposed. B．Doubtful.
C．Supportive. D．Disappointed.
答案：C
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Thanks to ... ourselves now and future. (多亏马克和保罗，至少在这里，100万只蜜蜂可以继续生存，这对我们现在和未来都很重要。)”可推知，Gill Perkins (吉尔·珀金斯)对这样的行为持支持态度。故选C。
27．What is the best title for the text
A．The Bees Are in Danger Now
B．Two Brothers Feed a Million Bees
C．One Million Bees Are Surviving in East England
D．Two Brothers Love Wild Flowers in East England
答案：B
解析：标题判断题。根据第一段第一句“Two pig farmers in Suffolk ... their land to wild flowers.”可知，本文主要介绍了两兄弟通过种植野花，为100万只蜜蜂提供了食物，从而实现生态平衡的事迹。由此可知，B项(两兄弟养了一百万只蜜蜂)最适合作为文章标题。故选B。
C
Why do we call the sounds of birds, whales and insects songs Because something about what we hear seems to have beauty, and some mellifluous (动听的) structure that touches us more than any possible message. Though for many years science has cautioned__against hearing too much of what we humans would like to hear when we are trying to understand animal sounds, the musicality in some sounds is now starting to have an effect on the science of animal communication itself.
Many specific animal sounds express aggression, warning, or food, but such practical explanations are tough to apply to the long songs. Some whale songs can go on for up to 24 hours. The usual explanation for birdsong is that the birds are singing to attract mates or to announce the limits of their area. But the audience is not always evident for these long love songs, which have many of the elements related to human music: rhythm, melody, themes repeating patterns, organization, variety, interest—all adding up to something humans have found beautiful for thousands of years. “Birds taught man，” wrote Roman poet and philosopher (哲学家) Lucretius, “and taught them songs before their art began.”
What is the scientific value of such sounds The advantage of hearing music in nature and trying to reach out to nature through music is that though we don't fully understand it, it is so accessible.
Music refuses explanation, but it clearly expresses something deep and important, which humans can't live without. Finding music in the sound of birds, whales and other animals makes the farther frontiers of nature seem much closer to us.
篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了从自然界中听到的许多鸟鸣或其他动物的声音，虽然我们不能够完全地理解，但是可以加以利用。
28．The underlined phrase “cautioned against” in Paragraph 1 probably means “________”．
A．warned against B．fought against
C．been filled with D．been satisfied with
答案：A
解析：词义猜测题。根据画线部分所在句可知，许多年来，当我们试着理解动物的声音时，科学已经警告我们不要听太多我们人类想听到的声音，这些声音的音乐性正开始影响动物之间的交流。因此caution against意为“警告，告诫”。故选A。
29．According to the passage, which of the following isn't mentioned
A．We call the songs of birds' sounds because there is beauty that sounds pleasant to the ears.
B．It is believed that birds are singing to attract mates or to warn the limits of their areas.
C．The songs of a bird really carry an emotional message such as “aggression and warning”．
D．It is not very long for people to know that birdsong does have something beautiful.
答案：D
解析：细节理解题。根据第一段第二句可知，我们称鸟的声音为歌声是因为它们很悦耳；根据第二段第三句可知，鸟发出歌声是为了吸引同伴或警告其他动物不准进入其领地；根据第二段第一句可知，鸟鸣实际会传达情绪，比如“挑衅或警告”。由此可知，A、B、C三项文中都有提及。故选D。
30．By saying “Birds taught man”， what did Lucretius mean
A．People teach rhythm, melody, themes, repeating patterns to birds.
B．Birds can teach people how to go on singing a song up to 24 hours.
C．Human music has, in fact, come from the sounds of birds in nature.
D．Humans learned something beautiful from the sounds of many animals.
答案：D
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中的“and taught them songs before their art began”可知，人类能从许多动物的声音中学到一些美丽的东西。故选D。
31．From the passage we know that music in nature ________．
A．can't be explained at all
B．is very easy to pick up and listen to
C．can't be understood at all
D．is of no scientific value
答案：B
解析：推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“The advantage of ... is so accessible.”可推知，大自然中的音乐是很容易接近和聆听的。故选B。
D
Shinrin yoku means “forest bathing”. Forest bathing doesn't mean you take a bath in the forest; rather, you simply go for a walk in the woods or a city park, where you slacken by using all your senses to experience nature.
Yoshifumi Miyazaki, from Chiba University, is among a growing number of scientists who have begun studying the science behind the effects of nature on human health. In his book Shinrin yoku: The Japanese Art of Forest Bathing, Miyazaki explains the techniques of forest bathing.
Miyazaki has an interesting theory about why shinrin yoku is so effective. He points out that for more than 99.99% of the time, humans have lived in a natural environment. In fact, in 1800, only 3% of the world's population lived in cities, and by 2016, this figure reached 54%. This is only going to get worse; officials predict that by 2050, 66% will live in cities.
This suggests we live in our modern society with bodies that are still used to the natural environment, he writes in the book, because “genes cannot change over just a few hundred years”. The science behind the research studies he presents in the book makes a convincing case that forest bathing is an effective method for reducing stress in today's world.
Now city planners are becoming increasingly aware of the importance of nature and are creating new kinds of “parks” out of empty spaces. There're also more city gardens where people can grow vegetables. For kids, kitchen gardens in schools are becoming popular. As Miyazaki stresses, you don't have to find a formal park or garden to practice shinrin yoku. Instead, you can enjoy the effects of nature wherever there're plants.
Better yet, he says, we can bring nature closer to where we spend most of our time. Miyazaki's research has shown that just increasing the amount of plants in a room can affect the relaxation benefits of the room. What's more, even when people simply look at flowers, their bodies relax and stress levels decrease.
篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了日本千叶大学的一位科学家提出一种名为Shinrin yoku的“森林浴”活动，研究表明增加与自然的接触对人的身心健康是有利的。
32．What does the underlined word in Paragraph 1 mean
A．Behave. B．Entertain.
C．Anticipate. D．Relax.
答案：D
解析：词义猜测题。从森林浴的形式以及下文它带来的对健康的好处来看，通过在自然环境中散步、用一切感官感受自然应该会让人放松下来。所以画线词指“放松”。故选D。
33．How does the author mainly develop the third paragraph
A．By giving examples.
B．By listing figures.
C．By making remarks.
D．By presenting research findings.
答案：B
解析：细节理解题。第三段为了说明城市人口占比的变化情况，列举了1800年、2016年及预测的2050年的百分比数值，使用的是列数字的说明方法。故选B。
34．Why does forest bathing work effectively according to Miyazaki
A．Human genes can change easily.
B．Nature is part of the modern society.
C．Human body can integrate into nature.
D．People can always get excited in nature.
答案：C
解析：推理判断题。根据第三、四段的描述可知，在这位科学家看来，近百年来人类的居住环境迅速变化，但基因中对于自然的适应性是不可能同步变化的，我们生活在现代社会中，身体仍然习惯自然环境，因为基因不能在几百年内改变。而森林浴这种形式对身心健康有益，正是因为人类的身体还适于生活在自然环境中。C项(人体能融入到自然之中。)符合文意。故选C。
35．Which of the following will Miyazaki agree on forest bathing
A．It is easy to operate.
B．It is meant for gardeners.
C．It is unaffordable in the city.
D．It is inconvenient to practice.
答案：A
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段可知，仅仅在房间里增加些植物就能让人放松，甚至当人们看到花朵时压力都会下降。由此可推知，森林浴操作起来很容易。故选A。

篇章导读：本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要报道了张毅鹏作为河南洛阳非物质文化遗产绞胎三彩制作技艺的代表性传承人，给这一古老的手工艺赋予了新的生命。
56.答案：a
解析：考查冠词。设空处作“Jiaotai (mixed clay) Sancai”的同位语，指Sancai是洛阳的一个市级非物质文化遗产，应用不定冠词，且city level的发音以辅音音素开头。故填a。
57．答案：to
解析：考查介词。give sth to sb “把某物给某人”，为固定短语。故填to。

解析：考查非谓语动词。invent与其逻辑主语a Chinese porcelain之间为被动关系，应用过去分词作后置定语。故填invented。
59．答案：was listed
解析：考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。list与主语Sancai为被动关系，结合时间状语“In 2008”可知，应用一般过去时的被动语态，且主语Sancai表示单数意义，be动词应用was。故填was listed。

第二节(满分25分)
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。
When I was in middle school, my social studies teacher asked me to enter a writing contest. I said no without thinking. I did not love writing. My family came from Brazil, so English was only my second language. Writing was so difficult and painful for me that my teacher had allowed me to present my paper on the sinking of the Titanic by acting out a play, where I played all the parts. No one laughed harder than he did.
So, why did he suddenly force me to do something at which I was sure to fail His reply: “Because I love your stories. If you're willing to apply yourself, I think you have a good shot at this.” Encouraged by his words, I agreed to give it a try.
I chose Paul Revere's horse as my subject. Paul Revere was a silversmith (银匠) in Boston who rode a horse at night on April 18, 1775 to Lexington to warn people that British soldiers were coming. My story would come straight from the horse's mouth. Not a brilliant idea, but funny; and unlikely to be anyone else's choice.
What did the horse think, as he sped through the night Did he get tired Have doubts Did he want to quit I sympathized immediately. I got tired. I had doubts. I wanted to quit. But, like Revere's horse, I kept going. I worked hard. I checked my spelling. I asked my older sister to correct my grammar. I checked out half a dozen books on Paul Revere from the library. I even read a few of them.
When I handed in the essay to my teacher, he read it, laughed out loud, and said, “Great. Now, write it again.” I wrote it again, and again and again. When I finally finished it, the thought of winning had given way to the enjoyment of writing. If I didn't win, I wouldn't care.
注意：
1．续写词数应为150个左右；
2．请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
A few weeks later, when I almost forgot the contest, there came the news. I went to my teacher's office after the award presentation.
写前导读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者上中学的时候，老师邀请作者参加一个写作比赛。作者不喜欢写作，于是毫不犹豫地拒绝了。但是在老师的鼓励下，作者同意试一试。在写作过程中，作者付出了很多努力。他会获奖吗？颁奖典礼后作者和老师说了什么？
[精彩范文]
A few weeks later, when I almost forgot the contest, there came the news. I was informed that I won the first prize in the writing contest and that there would be an award presentation in two days. I was so happy to hear the news that I immediately shared it with my teacher. “I knew you'd win! I am proud of you. You made it！” he said excitedly. Then came the big day. When I was invited to the stage to receive the award, I expressed my thanks to my teacher. I said, “It's you who make me fall in love with writing, my social studies teacher. Without your recognition and guidance, I couldn't have written this article. Again thank you very much！”
I went to my teacher's office after the award presentation. My teacher was waiting for me. Holding my hands, he said, “Congratulations! You are a good writer, so keep writing.” “You know I didn't like writing before, but now I am crazy about it! I will try my best to create good works.” I said seriously. Since then, I have written many good works and now I am a famous writer. I owe my success to my social studies teacher who is a beacon in my life on the road to writing.

From helping rescued animals find permanent homes to providing care for chimpanzees (黑猩猩) that have found shelter, there's always a volunteering site for every animal lover. Here are some amazing opportunities.
Seattle Humane Society
Seattle Humane Society has been helping animals since 1897. In 2013, it adopted out a record of 6，297 pets. It provides a wide range of programs, including dog training, a pet food bank and volunteer opportunities for animal lovers. A six－month commitment is required, and all volunteers must be at least 18 years old.
Chimpanzee Shelter Northwest
Chimpanzee Shelter Northwest was founded in 2003 as a shelter for chimpanzees. It lies in the foothills of the Cascade Mountains, 90 miles east of Seattle. Volunteers have a unique opportunity to see what it takes to run a shelter. It has three levels of volunteers; Level Ⅰ volunteers help with meal preparation; Level Ⅱ volunteers help the staff clean the shelter; Level Ⅲ volunteers are trained to interact directly with the chimpanzees.
Hope For Horses
Hope For Horses has an all－volunteer team that has helped hundreds of severely abused horses since 2001. It's also rescued a variety of other animals over the years, including donkeys, chickens, geese and a goat. Volunteers provide hands－on care for horses and other animals, including medical research, site visits and assistance with adoption. All volunteers must be 18 years old.
Purrfect Pals
Purrfect Pals, which was founded in 1988, is the Pacific Northwest's largest cat－only adoption shelter and organization. And it's one of the largest cat－only shelters in North America as well. It finds home for over 2，000 cats each year. It asks for a five－month commitment and volunteers must be 18 or older.

22．Which of the following has the longest history
A．Seattle Humane Society.

Two pig farmers in Suffolk, East England have succeeded in feeding one million bees after participating in a project that saw them turn over half of their land to wild flowers. Four years ago, brothers Mark and Paul Hayward decided to fill 81 acres of their farm land with wild flowers. This week, a study was carried out to monitor insect activity on the flower covered land, which found they were feeding one million bees at any time.
“This was our target when we started, to grow enough flowers to feed a million bees on a single day，” Mark said. “We are acutely aware that bees are under threat from modern farming methods and that East England is one of the worst places where bees are seriously suffering from lack of foraging diversity (觅食多样性)，” he continued.
“Every third bite of food you eat can come from bees and we wanted to create an operation on our farm that did not push nature out but rather hugged it—as a central part of our ecology system and our food cycle，” he said.
The farm uses all kinds of seeds which can produce many different wild plants and of course, the bees can get food from different wild flowers.
“We are taking a very small role in helping society restore a balance and this starts with plant diversity to encourage insects, bees, small mammals (哺乳动物), and birds，” said Paul. “At the end of the day, we see ourselves as caretakers of this land. Between us we have six children and we owe it to them to farm sustainably (可持续地) and set an example for the generations to come，” added Paul.
According to the Bee Conservation Trust, many types of bees have seen their populations decline by 70%, and two species have become extinct in the last century.
Gill Perkins, CEO of the Bee Conservation Trust said, “Thanks to Mark and Paul, at least here, 1 million bees can keep living, which is of great significance for ourselves now and future.”
篇章导读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了英国两位农民种植野花，希望可以帮助蜜蜂生存的故事。
24．What can we know about the brothers from the first two paragraphs
A．They have about 160 acres of land.
B．They grow wild flowers for pigs.
C．They are not good at growing wild flowers.
D．They have to support 1，000，000 bees in their land.
解析：细节理解题。根据第一段前两句“Two pig farmers ... farm land with wild flowers.”可知，两兄弟将81英亩的土地用来种植野花，而这些土地是两兄弟所拥有的超过一半的土地，81×2＝162，即他们拥有的土地大概是160英亩。故选A。
25．Why are bees under threat in East England
A．There is not enough food for bees.
B．Bees are not used to the modern society.
C．There are too many animals eating bees.
D．Bees can not find different wild flowers.
解析：推理判断题。根据第二段中的“We are acutely ... of foraging diversity (觅食多样性)”可知，蜜蜂受到的威胁有两种：一是现代农业耕作方法，二是缺乏觅食多样性，即蜜蜂需要多种不同的花作为食物。由此可推知，蜜蜂找不到不同的野花。故选D。
26．What is the Gill Perkins' attitude to the action
A．Opposed. B．Doubtful.
C．Supportive. D．Disappointed.
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Thanks to ... ourselves now and future. (多亏马克和保罗，至少在这里，100万只蜜蜂可以继续生存，这对我们现在和未来都很重要。)”可推知，Gill Perkins (吉尔·珀金斯)对这样的行为持支持态度。故选C。
27．What is the best title for the text
A．The Bees Are in Danger Now
B．Two Brothers Feed a Million Bees
C．One Million Bees Are Surviving in East England
D．Two Brothers Love Wild Flowers in East England
解析：标题判断题。根据第一段第一句“Two pig farmers in Suffolk ... their land to wild flowers.”可知，本文主要介绍了两兄弟通过种植野花，为100万只蜜蜂提供了食物，从而实现生态平衡的事迹。由此可知，B项(两兄弟养了一百万只蜜蜂)最适合作为文章标题。故选B。
C
Why do we call the sounds of birds, whales and insects songs Because something about what we hear seems to have beauty, and some mellifluous (动听的) structure that touches us more than any possible message. Though for many years science has cautioned__against hearing too much of what we humans would like to hear when we are trying to understand animal sounds, the musicality in some sounds is now starting to have an effect on the science of animal communication itself.
Many specific animal sounds express aggression, warning, or food, but such practical explanations are tough to apply to the long songs. Some whale songs can go on for up to 24 hours. The usual explanation for birdsong is that the birds are singing to attract mates or to announce the limits of their area. But the audience is not always evident for these long love songs, which have many of the elements related to human music: rhythm, melody, themes repeating patterns, organization, variety, interest—all adding up to something humans have found beautiful for thousands of years. “Birds taught man，” wrote Roman poet and philosopher (哲学家) Lucretius, “and taught them songs before their art began.”
What is the scientific value of such sounds The advantage of hearing music in nature and trying to reach out to nature through music is that though we don't fully understand it, it is so accessible.
Music refuses explanation, but it clearly expresses something deep and important, which humans can't live without. Finding music in the sound of birds, whales and other animals makes the farther frontiers of nature seem much closer to us.
篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了从自然界中听到的许多鸟鸣或其他动物的声音，虽然我们不能够完全地理解，但是可以加以利用。
28．The underlined phrase “cautioned against” in Paragraph 1 probably means “________”．
A．warned against B．fought against
C．been filled with D．been satisfied with
解析：词义猜测题。根据画线部分所在句可知，许多年来，当我们试着理解动物的声音时，科学已经警告我们不要听太多我们人类想听到的声音，这些声音的音乐性正开始影响动物之间的交流。因此caution against意为“警告，告诫”。故选A。
29．According to the passage, which of the following isn't mentioned
A．We call the songs of birds' sounds because there is beauty that sounds pleasant to the ears.
B．It is believed that birds are singing to attract mates or to warn the limits of their areas.
C．The songs of a bird really carry an emotional message such as “aggression and warning”．
D．It is not very long for people to know that birdsong does have something beautiful.
解析：细节理解题。根据第一段第二句可知，我们称鸟的声音为歌声是因为它们很悦耳；根据第二段第三句可知，鸟发出歌声是为了吸引同伴或警告其他动物不准进入其领地；根据第二段第一句可知，鸟鸣实际会传达情绪，比如“挑衅或警告”。由此可知，A、B、C三项文中都有提及。故选D。
30．By saying “Birds taught man”， what did Lucretius mean
A．People teach rhythm, melody, themes, repeating patterns to birds.
B．Birds can teach people how to go on singing a song up to 24 hours.
C．Human music has, in fact, come from the sounds of birds in nature.
D．Humans learned something beautiful from the sounds of many animals.
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中的“and taught them songs before their art began”可知，人类能从许多动物的声音中学到一些美丽的东西。故选D。
31．From the passage we know that music in nature ________．
A．can't be explained at all
B．is very easy to pick up and listen to
C．can't be understood at all
D．is of no scientific value
解析：推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“The advantage of ... is so accessible.”可推知，大自然中的音乐是很容易接近和聆听的。故选B。
D
Shinrin yoku means “forest bathing”. Forest bathing doesn't mean you take a bath in the forest; rather, you simply go for a walk in the woods or a city park, where you slacken by using all your senses to experience nature.
Yoshifumi Miyazaki, from Chiba University, is among a growing number of scientists who have begun studying the science behind the effects of nature on human health. In his book Shinrin yoku: The Japanese Art of Forest Bathing, Miyazaki explains the techniques of forest bathing.
Miyazaki has an interesting theory about why shinrin yoku is so effective. He points out that for more than 99.99% of the time, humans have lived in a natural environment. In fact, in 1800, only 3% of the world's population lived in cities, and by 2016, this figure reached 54%. This is only going to get worse; officials predict that by 2050, 66% will live in cities.
This suggests we live in our modern society with bodies that are still used to the natural environment, he writes in the book, because “genes cannot change over just a few hundred years”. The science behind the research studies he presents in the book makes a convincing case that forest bathing is an effective method for reducing stress in today's world.
Now city planners are becoming increasingly aware of the importance of nature and are creating new kinds of “parks” out of empty spaces. There're also more city gardens where people can grow vegetables. For kids, kitchen gardens in schools are becoming popular. As Miyazaki stresses, you don't have to find a formal park or garden to practice shinrin yoku. Instead, you can enjoy the effects of nature wherever there're plants.
Better yet, he says, we can bring nature closer to where we spend most of our time. Miyazaki's research has shown that just increasing the amount of plants in a room can affect the relaxation benefits of the room. What's more, even when people simply look at flowers, their bodies relax and stress levels decrease.
篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了日本千叶大学的一位科学家提出一种名为Shinrin yoku的“森林浴”活动，研究表明增加与自然的接触对人的身心健康是有利的。
32．What does the underlined word in Paragraph 1 mean
A．Behave. B．Entertain.
C．Anticipate. D．Relax.
解析：词义猜测题。从森林浴的形式以及下文它带来的对健康的好处来看，通过在自然环境中散步、用一切感官感受自然应该会让人放松下来。所以画线词指“放松”。故选D。
33．How does the author mainly develop the third paragraph
A．By giving examples.
B．By listing figures.
C．By making remarks.
D．By presenting research findings.
解析：细节理解题。第三段为了说明城市人口占比的变化情况，列举了1800年、2016年及预测的2050年的百分比数值，使用的是列数字的说明方法。故选B。
34．Why does forest bathing work effectively according to Miyazaki
A．Human genes can change easily.
B．Nature is part of the modern society.
C．Human body can integrate into nature.
D．People can always get excited in nature.
解析：推理判断题。根据第三、四段的描述可知，在这位科学家看来，近百年来人类的居住环境迅速变化，但基因中对于自然的适应性是不可能同步变化的，我们生活在现代社会中，身体仍然习惯自然环境，因为基因不能在几百年内改变。而森林浴这种形式对身心健康有益，正是因为人类的身体还适于生活在自然环境中。C项(人体能融入到自然之中。)符合文意。故选C。
35．Which of the following will Miyazaki agree on forest bathing
A．It is easy to operate.
B．It is meant for gardeners.
C．It is unaffordable in the city.
D．It is inconvenient to practice.
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段可知，仅仅在房间里增加些植物就能让人放松，甚至当人们看到花朵时压力都会下降。由此可推知，森林浴操作起来很容易。故选A。

第二节(满分25分)
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。
When I was in middle school, my social studies teacher asked me to enter a writing contest. I said no without thinking. I did not love writing. My family came from Brazil, so English was only my second language. Writing was so difficult and painful for me that my teacher had allowed me to present my paper on the sinking of the Titanic by acting out a play, where I played all the parts. No one laughed harder than he did.
So, why did he suddenly force me to do something at which I was sure to fail His reply: “Because I love your stories. If you're willing to apply yourself, I think you have a good shot at this.” Encouraged by his words, I agreed to give it a try.
I chose Paul Revere's horse as my subject. Paul Revere was a silversmith (银匠) in Boston who rode a horse at night on April 18, 1775 to Lexington to warn people that British soldiers were coming. My story would come straight from the horse's mouth. Not a brilliant idea, but funny; and unlikely to be anyone else's choice.
What did the horse think, as he sped through the night Did he get tired Have doubts Did he want to quit I sympathized immediately. I got tired. I had doubts. I wanted to quit. But, like Revere's horse, I kept going. I worked hard. I checked my spelling. I asked my older sister to correct my grammar. I checked out half a dozen books on Paul Revere from the library. I even read a few of them.
When I handed in the essay to my teacher, he read it, laughed out loud, and said, “Great. Now, write it again.” I wrote it again, and again and again. When I finally finished it, the thought of winning had given way to the enjoyment of writing. If I didn‘t win, I wouldn’t care.
A few weeks later, when I almost forgot the contest, there came the news.﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍
I went to my teacher's office after the award presentation. ﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍

[精彩范文]
A few weeks later, when I almost forgot the contest, there came the news. I was informed that I won the first prize in the writing contest and that there would be an award presentation in two days. I was so happy to hear the news that I immediately shared it with my teacher. “I knew you'd win! I am proud of you. You made it！” he said excitedly. Then came the big day. When I was invited to the stage to receive the award, I expressed my thanks to my teacher. I said, “It's you who make me fall in love with writing, my social studies teacher. Without your recognition and guidance, I couldn't have written this article. Again thank you very much！”
I went to my teacher's office after the award presentation. My teacher was waiting for me. Holding my hands, he said, “Congratulations! You are a good writer, so keep writing.” “You know I didn't like writing before, but now I am crazy about it! I will try my best to create good works.” I said seriously. Since then, I have written many good works and now I am a famous writer. I owe my success to my social studies teacher who is a beacon in my life on the road to writing.
