A heart attack led Ivan Markov to take up gardening on a small patch (小块土地) in front of his council flat.Now, he's spreading his love of nature across south London.
Markov grew up on Bougainville Island, Papua New Guinea, and learned to love nature in these tropical zones.In 2007, he moved to Lewisham, south-east London, to work as a teacher.Unfortunately, he was diagnosed with heart failure in 2010.During the treatment and recovery, he read about a local award for the best garden, and though he only had a front garden outside his flat, he thought the competition would be something to work towards.He worked on his patch for most of the year, planting seeds and plants, such as flowers, berries and herbs.Surprisingly, he won the best front garden prize.“I couldn't believe it，” he says.“I nearly fell off my seat.”
That was the start.Markov created a community nursery (苗圃) at the side of his house, and started planting bushes across the road.“I had so much beauty in my garden，” he says.“I wanted to share what I had.” He started offering guide to others.News of Markov's green-fingered selflessness began to spread.“I go to someone's property and give them advice on how to plant a garden，” he says.He delivers cuttings and seeds and helps people report plants, but everything he does is free.To date, Markov has helped six neighbourhoods embrace sustainable gardening.
He wants to show people you don't have to live in the country to create beauty.“It doesn't matter how much space you have.Outside my place there's a tiny square, tiny.I grow tomatoes there for my supper.The opportunities are endless.”
Gardening gives Markov “the feeling of creating something from nothing and so much pleasure”．His dream is to create more green areas.Markov is making this corner of south-east London a paradise for all.

It is universally believed that playing an instrument or singing in a choir may boost your brain. Generations of parents have told their children to practice their musical instruments. Parents have good reasons to keep on top of their children's musical education, since learning an instrument is not only associated with better educational achievement but also cognition (认知) and even intelligence scores in children. But does this musicality contribute to better cognition later in life
A new study in the International Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry investigated this question by asking middle-aged and older people to complete a questionnaire on their lifetime musical experience before completing cognitive tests. The results showed that musical people had better memory and ability to stay focused on tasks and plans than those with less or no musicality.
But how about being musical without playing an instrument According to the study findings, singing can result in better executive (决策的) function but not memory, suggesting that playing an instrument has additional brain health benefits. Why singing would help us with our executive function is not clear and requires further investigation. However, singing has a strong social benefit when done in choirs, and there is good evidence that being involved in social activity is good for our brain health.
Playing an instrument or singing seems to have benefits to our brain health in ageing, according to the study. What is yet to be established is whether this would also help prevent future cognitive decline (下降) or dementia.The study provides no evidence for this yet and it is also not clear how the findings apply to the general population, since most people in the study were female, well-educated and well-off.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了音乐活动，特别是演奏乐器和参加合唱团唱歌，对大脑健康的影响。
√
28．What does the new study center on
A．The cognition improvement by singing in a choir.
B．Musical people's ability of keeping focused on tasks.
C．Academic progress of children playing an instrument.
D．Musicality's effect upon better cognition later in life.
解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中的“But does this musicality contribute to better cognition later in life？”及第二段中的“A new study...investigated this question”可知，这项新研究的重点是音乐性对以后更好的认知能力的影响。
√
29．Who might improve most in memory according to the passage
A．Catherine who sings in a choir.
B．Sam who was born in a music family.
C．Mary who played the piano for years.
D．Jack who is eager to get music education.
解析：推理判断题。根据第二段中的“The results showed that musical people had better memory and ability to stay focused on tasks and plans than those with less or no musicality.”及第三段前两句可推知，弹了多年钢琴的玛丽的记忆力最有可能提高。
√
30．What does the underlined word “established” mean in paragraph 4
A．Proved. B．Started.
C．Announced. D．Admitted.
解析：词义猜测题。根据画线词下文“The study provides no evidence for this yet and it is also not clear...were female, well-educated and well-off.”并结合画线词所在句可知，画线词established意为“证明”，与A项意思相同。
√
31．What is the author's attitude towards the findings of the study
A．Objective. B．Opposed.
C．Unclear. D．Supportive.
解析：观点态度题。根据最后一段内容可知，作者既指出了这项研究积极的一面，也提到了它的不足之处。由此可推知，作者持有客观的态度。
D
It's a common debate between couples—the perfect temperature to keep both warm but not hot.And the temperature's setting often forms the basis of office arguments between women and men about the “correct” temperature.Research does often show women prefer a higher indoor temperature, compared with men.But why do women feel the cold more
With the same body weight, women tend to have less muscle to produce heat.Women also have more fat between the skin and the muscles, so the skin feels colder, as it's slightly further away from blood vessels.Women also tend to have a lower metabolic (新陈代谢) rate than men, which reduces heat production ability during cold exposure, making women more likely to feel cold as the temperature drops.Additionally, the hormones mainly found in women make women's hands, feet and ears stay around three degrees Celsius cooler than men's.
The phenomenon that women prefer warmer temperatures isn't unique to humans.Studies on many species of birds and mammals report that males commonly gather in cooler areas where there is shade, while females and the young stay in warmer environments where there is sunlight.Male bats prefer to rest at the cool, high peaks of mountains, while females remain in the warmer valleys.Female mammals may have developed a preference for warmer climates to encourage them to rest with offspring (幼崽) during stages when the young are unable to regulate their own body temperature.So the difference between heat-sensing systems may provide an advantage.
Couples choosing separate blankets is one way to overcome the differences in temperature preferences.In the workplace, personal comfort systems are heating systems that heat or cool and can be locally placed in individual work stations such as desktops, chairs, or near the feet and legs.Examples include small desk fans, heated chairs and blankets, or footwarmers.These provide individualised thermal comfort (热舒适) to meet personal needs without affecting others in the same space, and have been found to produce higher comfort satisfaction in the workplace.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了为什么女性比男性更容易感到寒冷，并从生物学和生理学的角度解释了这一现象。

B．Their skin usually feels warmer.
C．Their heart rate is higher than men.
D．They are more sensitive to cold.

√
34．Why does the author mention the studies on birds and mammals
A．To show their preference for cold.
B．To provide more evidence for the findings.
C．To introduce the system of keeping warm.
D．To inform us of a new scientific debate.
解析：推理判断题。根据第三段中的“The phenomenon that women prefer warmer temperatures isn't unique to humans.”可知，本段提到鸟类和哺乳动物的研究是为了给研究结果提供更多证据。
√
35．What can be a suitable title for the passage
A．Women Have an Advantage
B．Why Do Women Feel Cold More
C．How Do We Agree on the Ideal Temperature
D．Biological Differences Between Men and Women
解析：标题归纳题。通读全文，尤其是第一段可知，本文主要介绍了为什么女性比男性更容易感到寒冷。B项最适合作文章标题。

56．an 解析：考查冠词。“an important part of...”意为“……重要的一部分”，为固定短语。
57．its 解析：考查代词。根据空后名词astronauts及句意可知，空处应用形容词性物主代词its表示“它的”，代指China's。
58．which 解析：考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知，空处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词为整个主句，且从句缺主语，应用关系代词which引导。
59．currently 解析：考查副词。分析句子结构可知，空处应用副词作状语。
60．weighing 解析：考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，空处为非谓语动词， 被修饰词spaceship与weigh之间是主动关系，应用现在分词weighing作后置定语。
61．is intended 解析：考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。分析句子结构可知，空处是谓语，本句描述一般性事实，用一般现在时；且主语It和intend之间是被动关系，用被动语态；主语It是第三人称单数，be动词用is。“be intended for...”是固定短语，意为“打算为……所用；预定给”。
62．development 解析：考查名词。under development意为“发展中”。
63．materials 解析：考查名词复数。 material意为“材料”，此处表泛指，应用复数形式。
64．to land 解析：考查非谓语动词。 此处land是动词，意为“着陆，上岸，(从飞机、船上)卸下”；分析句子结构可知，空处为非谓语动词，抽象名词plan后用动词不定式作定语。
65．and 解析：考查并列连词。分析句意可知，strengthen与前面carry out、develop并列，应用连词and。

第二节(满分25 分)
阅读下面的材料，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。
Dora Kellert was the school's spelling bee champion, winner of the reading contest at the public library three summers in a row and the playground grand champion in chess.She was a straight-A student.
Though Dora was talented, she was no good at sports.She could not figure out in which direction to kick the soccer ball.She was no good at baseball or basketball either.It wasn't until last year, when she was eleven years old, that she learned how to ride a bike.And even then she had to use training wheels.
“I'll never be good at sports，” she thought one day as she lay on her bed staring at the shelf her father had made to hold her trophies (奖杯).“How I wish I could win something, anything, even marbles (弹珠).”
At the word “marbles”， she sat up, “That's it.Maybe I could be good at playing marbles.” She jumped out of bed and found a can full of her brother's marbles.“Yes，” she thought.“I could play marbles, and marbles is a sport.” At that moment she realized that she had only three weeks to practice.The playground championship was coming up.She had a lot to do.
To strengthen her wrists (腕关节), she decided to do twenty push-ups on her fingertips, five at a time.By the end of the first set she was breathing hard.She did one more set and decided that was enough push-ups for the first day.She squeezed (握) a rubber eraser one hundred times, hoping it would strengthen her thumb (大拇指). This seemed to work because the next day her thumb was painful. She could hardly hold a marble in her hand, so Dora rested that day and listened to her brother's tips on how to shoot.
After school the next day she practiced three hours straight. After practice, she squeezed the eraser for an hour. Practice, practice, and practice. Squeeze, squeeze, and squeeze. Dora got better and even beat her brother for the first time.
注意：续写词数应为150左右。

___________________________________________________________
One possible version：
Time flew and soon came the big day. Thanks to her three weeks' intensive training as well as her brother's timely tips, Dora beat her first opponent with ease.After three rounds, Dora fought her way into the final, where she would compete for the championship with a girl named Vicky, a so-called “marble queen”．Clenching the shining marbles she won from the fellow competitors, Dora smiled an invisible smile and murmured “Well begun is half done.” Whistle blowing, game began.Vicky seemed dead serious and not even looked at Dora.So it was with Dora.Focused, aimed, shot and won.Though it was a narrow win, Dora did beat the “marble queen” and won her dreaming trophy.
Dancing home, Dora carefully placed the trophy in the middle of the shelf. Throwing herself into the bed, Dora couldn't help sobbing softly, mainly of her fulfilled dream, partly of the aching knees and swollen thumb.“Thank you, my dear thumb.” Dora kissed her thumb gently, just like an old friend.Lying on bed and staring at the opposite shelf lined with trophies, Dora suddenly had a bold idea.“Why not try the bike race next year I am not a bookworm; I have sports cells too.” Seemingly this 12-year-old girl forgot all the sufferings she had gone through during the past three weeks.But without a big dream one would never fly high.

A heart attack led Ivan Markov to take up gardening on a small patch (小块土地) in front of his council flat.Now, he's spreading his love of nature across south London.
Markov grew up on Bougainville Island, Papua New Guinea, and learned to love nature in these tropical zones.In 2007, he moved to Lewisham, south-east London, to work as a teacher.Unfortunately, he was diagnosed with heart failure in 2010.During the treatment and recovery, he read about a local award for the best garden, and though he only had a front garden outside his flat, he thought the competition would be something to work towards.He worked on his patch for most of the year, planting seeds and plants, such as flowers, berries and herbs.Surprisingly, he won the best front garden prize.“I couldn't believe it，” he says.“I nearly fell off my seat.”
That was the start.Markov created a community nursery (苗圃) at the side of his house, and started planting bushes across the road.“I had so much beauty in my garden，” he says.“I wanted to share what I had.” He started offering guide to others.News of Markov's green-fingered selflessness began to spread.“I go to someone's property and give them advice on how to plant a garden，” he says.He delivers cuttings and seeds and helps people report plants, but everything he does is free.To date, Markov has helped six neighbourhoods embrace sustainable gardening.
He wants to show people you don't have to live in the country to create beauty.“It doesn't matter how much space you have.Outside my place there's a tiny square, tiny.I grow tomatoes there for my supper.The opportunities are endless.”
Gardening gives Markov “the feeling of creating something from nothing and so much pleasure”．His dream is to create more green areas.Markov is making this corner of south-east London a paradise for all.

It is universally believed that playing an instrument or singing in a choir may boost your brain. Generations of parents have told their children to practice their musical instruments. Parents have good reasons to keep on top of their children's musical education, since learning an instrument is not only associated with better educational achievement but also cognition (认知) and even intelligence scores in children. But does this musicality contribute to better cognition later in life
A new study in the International Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry investigated this question by asking middle-aged and older people to complete a questionnaire on their lifetime musical experience before completing cognitive tests. The results showed that musical people had better memory and ability to stay focused on tasks and plans than those with less or no musicality.
But how about being musical without playing an instrument According to the study findings, singing can result in better executive (决策的) function but not memory, suggesting that playing an instrument has additional brain health benefits. Why singing would help us with our executive function is not clear and requires further investigation. However, singing has a strong social benefit when done in choirs, and there is good evidence that being involved in social activity is good for our brain health.
Playing an instrument or singing seems to have benefits to our brain health in ageing, according to the study. What is yet to be established is whether this would also help prevent future cognitive decline (下降) or dementia.The study provides no evidence for this yet and it is also not clear how the findings apply to the general population, since most people in the study were female, well-educated and well-off.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了音乐活动，特别是演奏乐器和参加合唱团唱歌，对大脑健康的影响。
√
28．What does the new study center on
A．The cognition improvement by singing in a choir.
B．Musical people's ability of keeping focused on tasks.
C．Academic progress of children playing an instrument.
D．Musicality's effect upon better cognition later in life.
解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中的“But does this musicality contribute to better cognition later in life？”及第二段中的“A new study...investigated this question”可知，这项新研究的重点是音乐性对以后更好的认知能力的影响。
√
29．Who might improve most in memory according to the passage
A．Catherine who sings in a choir.
B．Sam who was born in a music family.
C．Mary who played the piano for years.
D．Jack who is eager to get music education.
解析：推理判断题。根据第二段中的“The results showed that musical people had better memory and ability to stay focused on tasks and plans than those with less or no musicality.”及第三段前两句可推知，弹了多年钢琴的玛丽的记忆力最有可能提高。
√
30．What does the underlined word “established” mean in paragraph 4
A．Proved. B．Started.
C．Announced. D．Admitted.
解析：词义猜测题。根据画线词下文“The study provides no evidence for this yet and it is also not clear...were female, well-educated and well-off.”并结合画线词所在句可知，画线词established意为“证明”，与A项意思相同。
√
31．What is the author's attitude towards the findings of the study
A．Objective. B．Opposed.
C．Unclear. D．Supportive.
解析：观点态度题。根据最后一段内容可知，作者既指出了这项研究积极的一面，也提到了它的不足之处。由此可推知，作者持有客观的态度。
D
It's a common debate between couples—the perfect temperature to keep both warm but not hot.And the temperature's setting often forms the basis of office arguments between women and men about the “correct” temperature.Research does often show women prefer a higher indoor temperature, compared with men.But why do women feel the cold more
With the same body weight, women tend to have less muscle to produce heat.Women also have more fat between the skin and the muscles, so the skin feels colder, as it's slightly further away from blood vessels.Women also tend to have a lower metabolic (新陈代谢) rate than men, which reduces heat production ability during cold exposure, making women more likely to feel cold as the temperature drops.Additionally, the hormones mainly found in women make women's hands, feet and ears stay around three degrees Celsius cooler than men's.
The phenomenon that women prefer warmer temperatures isn't unique to humans.Studies on many species of birds and mammals report that males commonly gather in cooler areas where there is shade, while females and the young stay in warmer environments where there is sunlight.Male bats prefer to rest at the cool, high peaks of mountains, while females remain in the warmer valleys.Female mammals may have developed a preference for warmer climates to encourage them to rest with offspring (幼崽) during stages when the young are unable to regulate their own body temperature.So the difference between heat-sensing systems may provide an advantage.
Couples choosing separate blankets is one way to overcome the differences in temperature preferences.In the workplace, personal comfort systems are heating systems that heat or cool and can be locally placed in individual work stations such as desktops, chairs, or near the feet and legs.Examples include small desk fans, heated chairs and blankets, or footwarmers.These provide individualised thermal comfort (热舒适) to meet personal needs without affecting others in the same space, and have been found to produce higher comfort satisfaction in the workplace.

第二节(满分25 分)
阅读下面的材料，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。
Dora Kellert was the school's spelling bee champion, winner of the reading contest at the public library three summers in a row and the playground grand champion in chess.She was a straight-A student.
Though Dora was talented, she was no good at sports.She could not figure out in which direction to kick the soccer ball.She was no good at baseball or basketball either.It wasn't until last year, when she was eleven years old, that she learned how to ride a bike.And even then she had to use training wheels.
“I'll never be good at sports，” she thought one day as she lay on her bed staring at the shelf her father had made to hold her trophies (奖杯).“How I wish I could win something, anything, even marbles (弹珠).”
At the word “marbles”， she sat up, “That's it.Maybe I could be good at playing marbles.” She jumped out of bed and found a can full of her brother's marbles.“Yes，” she thought.“I could play marbles, and marbles is a sport.” At that moment she realized that she had only three weeks to practice.The playground championship was coming up.She had a lot to do.
To strengthen her wrists (腕关节), she decided to do twenty push-ups on her fingertips, five at a time.By the end of the first set she was breathing hard.She did one more set and decided that was enough push-ups for the first day.She squeezed (握) a rubber eraser one hundred times, hoping it would strengthen her thumb (大拇指). This seemed to work because the next day her thumb was painful. She could hardly hold a marble in her hand, so Dora rested that day and listened to her brother's tips on how to shoot.
After school the next day she practiced three hours straight. After practice, she squeezed the eraser for an hour. Practice, practice, and practice. Squeeze, squeeze, and squeeze. Dora got better and even beat her brother for the first time.
注意：续写词数应为150左右。

One possible version：
Time flew and soon came the big day. Thanks to her three weeks' intensive training as well as her brother's timely tips, Dora beat her first opponent with ease.After three rounds, Dora fought her way into the final, where she would compete for the championship with a girl named Vicky, a so-called “marble queen”．Clenching the shining marbles she won from the fellow competitors, Dora smiled an invisible smile and murmured “Well begun is half done.” Whistle blowing, game began.Vicky seemed dead serious and not even looked at Dora.So it was with Dora.Focused, aimed, shot and won.Though it was a narrow win, Dora did beat the “marble queen” and won her dreaming trophy.
Dancing home, Dora carefully placed the trophy in the middle of the shelf. Throwing herself into the bed, Dora couldn't help sobbing softly, mainly of her fulfilled dream, partly of the aching knees and swollen thumb.“Thank you, my dear thumb.” Dora kissed her thumb gently, just like an old friend.Lying on bed and staring at the opposite shelf lined with trophies, Dora suddenly had a bold idea.“Why not try the bike race next year I am not a bookworm; I have sports cells too.” Seemingly this 12-year-old girl forgot all the sufferings she had gone through during the past three weeks.But without a big dream one would never fly high.
