There is a particular sort of box that lurks in every home，full of"memorabilia".Baby teeth，divorce certificates，spare keys for locks unknown：the whole thing is filled with association，emotion，nostalgia（怀旧） and pain.That box is my doom（劫数）.
Because I decide that turning 40，being pregnant and training for a second career aren't enough to be getting on with in a single month，I am also in the lucky position of moving house，which means opening various drawers，boxes，and cupboards，only to discover a pit of painful memory or a terrible mess at every turn.
But listen to me：you can get rid of these things.God，I love throwing things away.Not the irresponsible rush of pouring perfectly usable items into landfill，of course.But taking a box of toys to a charity shop when my son is at school？Delicious.Handing out unworn clothes to friends and neighbours？Delightful.Recycling early drafts of my book？Incredible.Frankly，I hope we will all have better things to do than read through our old notebooks，diaries or letters.So，I put them in the recycling.That sweet unburdening release can cheer me up for the rest of the day.
I grew up in a house where sentimentality was a disease.When our old gas oven broke，my sister made my parents bury it in the garden with a full，flowery ceremony because she wasn't yet ready to say goodbye.My father cries every time he looks at one of the blankets knitted by his mother—despite the fact that it is on his bed.
In this environment，it was inevitable that at least one child was going to go the other way.The cuckoo（布谷鸟） in the nest，I developed a strong and early love of getting rid.When the opportunity arises，do I leap at the chance to throw that stuff out of my house and move on？You bet your box of doom I do.

The term sponge（海绵） city might bring to mind a creative image of a city made of sponges，but actual definition of sponge cities isn't as literal as it seems.
Sponge city is a term that originated in China to describe urban spaces that are re-designed with areas for greenery.They absorb storm-water the way a sponge takes up excess water!These areas deals wit flooding naturally by replacing impermeable roads with permeable（透水的） green spaces.These"sponges"cool cities，cleanse air pollution and remove dirt from storm-water before they enter our drinking water sources.Several tools.and technologies can be adopted in a sponge city.Employing sustainable methods like covering walls and roofs with plants is one method.Another technique uses layers of permeable soil covered by greenery that traps rainwater and run-off.
These and other concepts are used throughout the world under different names like green infrastructure（基建），low-impact development，and sensitive urban design.The approach，regardless of the name，focuses on controlling flooding and water pollution.Many cities around the world are suffering from flood events.In recent years，60% of China's large-sized cities have flooded—killing hundreds and displacing more than a million people.
Flooding has increased because of the overuse of concrete surfaces，called"gray infrastructure".Landscape architects realized the need to make cities more"spongy"by working with their local climate and natural features to design appropriate solutions.
In Philadelphia，a project called"Green City，Clean Waters"was developed after the EPA（Environmental Protection Agency） enforced the federal Clean Water Act there in 2011.To date，the city has"greened"at least 2，200 acres of land and used a mix of solutions like rain gardens，restoring wetlands，and green infrastructure in their plan.
However，implementing sponge plans is often difficult because policymakers often need to be convinced to enact them.Despite this，cities around the world are thriving after the use of the Sponge City approach.
18.What is the primary goal of the sponge city design？ ______
A. To preserve biodiversity. B. To fight against flooding.
C. To gather more rainwater. D. To improve living standard.
19.What can be learned about a sponge city？ ______
A. It is made of eco-friendly sponge materials.
B. It is a new kind of city only existing in China.
C. It manages rainwater by increasing permeable spaces.
D. It requires the complete removal of traditional buildings.
20.Why does the author mention Philadelphia？ ______
A. To introduce the origin of the sponge city concept.
B. To emphasize the importance of the Clean Water Act.
C. To give an example of an effective sponge city project.
D. To explain the difficulties in carrying out sponge plans.
21.Which might be the best title for the text？ ______
A. Development of the Term"Sponge City".
B. Sustainable Urban Planning Strategies.
C. Shortcomings of Gray Urban Infrastructure.
D. Benefit and Success of Sponge City Plans.
D
Deep down，everyone wants to be understood.The study of children aged 3 to 12 years old was led by Seyda z al kan，a psychological scientist at Georgia State University，whose research tries to understand how language affects the way people construct and express ideas，which can be seen in gestures.
As one kind of non-verbal communication，gestures may indicate how someone is feeling and could perhaps reveal insights into children's cognitive abilities as they develop，so z al kan thinks.
In this latest study，100 children were asked first to describe an action with words and hand movements，and then to describe the same action without speaking using only their hands.Half the children were native English speakers，and the other 50 kids spoke Turkish as their first language.English and Turkish make for a good comparison because they differ in terms of how speakers of each language describe events.
"If you're speaking Turkish and want to describe someone running into a house，you have to chunk it up.You say，'he's running and then he enters the house，'"explains z al kan."But if it's in English，they'll just say'he ran into the house，'all in one compact sentence.""We wanted to find out whether gesture does or does not follow these linguistic（语言的） differences and how early do children learn these patterns，"she adds.
When children spoke and gestured at the same time，Turkish-speaking children ordered their gestures the same as they would a sentence，and English-speaking children pressed theirs into one movement.However，when describing the same scenes without speaking，the language-specific differences in gestures had seemingly evaporated（蒸发），which echoes z al kan's earlier work with adults and further proves that language can influence nonverbal representations of events.
z al kan and colleagues suggest their findings，although tentative（尝试性的），hint at the possibility that we all share some fundamental non-verbal communication system that gets overridden once we start learning language.Of course，this research interpreted abstract gestures from a few hundred subjects—hardly enough data to support such a big claim，but certainly an inviting idea to explore.
22.Why did the study employ children of different native languages？ ______
A. To test linguistic influences on non-verbal expression.
B. To uncover the universal meaning of a specific gesture. G.To recognize how speakers of each language describe events. D.To prove the same gesture has different meanings in distinct cultures.
23.What does the phrase"chunk it up"in paragraph 4 mean？ ______
A. Cut it out. B. Join it up. C. Break it down. D. Pair it off.
24.What does z al kan think of their findings？ ______
A. Conclusive. B. Worthwhile. C. Pioneering. D. Groundless.
25.Which of the following sentence best summarize the new findings？ ______
A. Gestures influence human linguistic development.
B. Non-verbal communication conveys more than words.
C. A shared non-verbal communication system might exist.
D. Cultural settings decide the way people construct their ideas.
三、阅读七选五：本大题共5小题，共12.5分。
Winter is a season when you really prove your love of hiking.It demands proper commitment—with more efforts and more risks.（1）______ With sufficient knowledge and safety tips，harsh winter conditions shouldn't discourage you from hitting the traits（路径）.
Know how to navigate.Phone apps rely on a GPS signal and also an internet connection—both of which can be unstable.Since you never know when you'll find yourself having to plan a course in a dead zone，making backup navigation is essential.Just make sure you know how to use a compass and read a map.
（2）______ In winter，the days are shorter，backpacks are heavier.and the conditions underfoot can be exhausting.It's wise to plan your routes accordingly by choosing trails less challenging or areas less affected by sudden weather changes.And if Mother Nature throws you a last minute curveball—adapt.
Know who to call in an emergency.（3）______ You may not have internet connection to look up who to call while you're out，so it's better to hope for the host but prepare for the worst.Plus，in the event of you needing assistance，research what information the rescue service will require before and once they reach you.
Wear appropriate gear（衣服）.Don't wear anything made of cotton as it sucks the heat out of your body when it's wet.Start with a wool base layer，and then add insulated（绝缘的） layers（4）______
One final thing：don't forget a power bank for your phone.（5）______ You'll need it not just as a safety measure，but also because you're likely to take lots of pictures.
A.Check your ambition.
B.Watch out for weather changes.
C.Thick jumpers and waterproof shells are on top.

The term sponge（海绵） city might bring to mind a creative image of a city made of sponges，but actual definition of sponge cities isn't as literal as it seems.
Sponge city is a term that originated in China to describe urban spaces that are re-designed with areas for greenery.They absorb storm-water the way a sponge takes up excess water!These areas deals wit flooding naturally by replacing impermeable roads with permeable（透水的） green spaces.These"sponges"cool cities，cleanse air pollution and remove dirt from storm-water before they enter our drinking water sources.Several tools.and technologies can be adopted in a sponge city.Employing sustainable methods like covering walls and roofs with plants is one method.Another technique uses layers of permeable soil covered by greenery that traps rainwater and run-off.
These and other concepts are used throughout the world under different names like green infrastructure（基建），low-impact development，and sensitive urban design.The approach，regardless of the name，focuses on controlling flooding and water pollution.Many cities around the world are suffering from flood events.In recent years，60% of China's large-sized cities have flooded—killing hundreds and displacing more than a million people.
Flooding has increased because of the overuse of concrete surfaces，called"gray infrastructure".Landscape architects realized the need to make cities more"spongy"by working with their local climate and natural features to design appropriate solutions.
In Philadelphia，a project called"Green City，Clean Waters"was developed after the EPA（Environmental Protection Agency） enforced the federal Clean Water Act there in 2011.To date，the city has"greened"at least 2，200 acres of land and used a mix of solutions like rain gardens，restoring wetlands，and green infrastructure in their plan.
However，implementing sponge plans is often difficult because policymakers often need to be convinced to enact them.Despite this，cities around the world are thriving after the use of the Sponge City approach.
18.What is the primary goal of the sponge city design？ ______
A. To preserve biodiversity. B. To fight against flooding.
C. To gather more rainwater. D. To improve living standard.
19.What can be learned about a sponge city？ ______
A. It is made of eco-friendly sponge materials.
B. It is a new kind of city only existing in China.
C. It manages rainwater by increasing permeable spaces.
D. It requires the complete removal of traditional buildings.
20.Why does the author mention Philadelphia？ ______
A. To introduce the origin of the sponge city concept.
B. To emphasize the importance of the Clean Water Act.
C. To give an example of an effective sponge city project.
D. To explain the difficulties in carrying out sponge plans.
21.Which might be the best title for the text？ ______
A. Development of the Term"Sponge City".
B. Sustainable Urban Planning Strategies.
C. Shortcomings of Gray Urban Infrastructure.
D. Benefit and Success of Sponge City Plans.

Deep down，everyone wants to be understood.The study of children aged 3 to 12 years old was led by Seyda z al kan，a psychological scientist at Georgia State University，whose research tries to understand how language affects the way people construct and express ideas，which can be seen in gestures.
As one kind of non-verbal communication，gestures may indicate how someone is feeling and could perhaps reveal insights into children's cognitive abilities as they develop，so z al kan thinks.
In this latest study，100 children were asked first to describe an action with words and hand movements，and then to describe the same action without speaking using only their hands.Half the children were native English speakers，and the other 50 kids spoke Turkish as their first language.English and Turkish make for a good comparison because they differ in terms of how speakers of each language describe events.
"If you're speaking Turkish and want to describe someone running into a house，you have to chunk it up.You say，'he's running and then he enters the house，'"explains z al kan."But if it's in English，they'll just say'he ran into the house，'all in one compact sentence.""We wanted to find out whether gesture does or does not follow these linguistic（语言的） differences and how early do children learn these patterns，"she adds.
When children spoke and gestured at the same time，Turkish-speaking children ordered their gestures the same as they would a sentence，and English-speaking children pressed theirs into one movement.However，when describing the same scenes without speaking，the language-specific differences in gestures had seemingly evaporated（蒸发），which echoes z al kan's earlier work with adults and further proves that language can influence nonverbal representations of events.
z al kan and colleagues suggest their findings，although tentative（尝试性的），hint at the possibility that we all share some fundamental non-verbal communication system that gets overridden once we start learning language.Of course，this research interpreted abstract gestures from a few hundred subjects—hardly enough data to support such a big claim，but certainly an inviting idea to explore.
22.Why did the study employ children of different native languages？ ______
A. To test linguistic influences on non-verbal expression.
B. To uncover the universal meaning of a specific gesture. G.To recognize how speakers of each language describe events. D.To prove the same gesture has different meanings in distinct cultures.
23.What does the phrase"chunk it up"in paragraph 4 mean？ ______
A. Cut it out. B. Join it up. C. Break it down. D. Pair it off.
24.What does z al kan think of their findings？ ______
A. Conclusive. B. Worthwhile. C. Pioneering. D. Groundless.
25.Which of the following sentence best summarize the new findings？ ______
A. Gestures influence human linguistic development.
B. Non-verbal communication conveys more than words.
C. A shared non-verbal communication system might exist.
D. Cultural settings decide the way people construct their ideas.
