2.You can抰 always predict a heavy rain or remember your umbrella. But designer Mikhail Belyaev doesn抰 think that forgetting to check the weather forecast before heading out should result in you getting wet. That抯 why he created Lampbrella, a lamp post with its own rain-sensing umbrella.
The designer says he came up with the idea after watching people get wet on streets in Russia. 揙nce, I was driving on a central Saint Petersburg street and saw the street lamps lighting up people trying to hide from the rain. I thought it would be appropriate to have a canopy(伞蓬) built into a street lamp,” he said.
The Lampbrella is a standard-looking street lamp fitted with an umbrella canopy. It has a built-in electric motor which can open or close the umbrella on demand Sensors(传感器) then ensure that the umbrella offers pedestrians shelter whenever it starts raining.
In addition to the rain sensor, there’s also a 360° motion sensor on the fiberglass street lamp which detects whether anyone is using the Lampbrella. After three minutes of not being used the canopy is closed.
According to the designer, the Lampbrella would move at a relatively low speed, so as not to cause harm to the pedestrians. Besides, it would be grounded to protect from possible lightning strike. Each Lampbrella would offer enough shelter for several people. Being installed(安装) at 2 metres off the ground, it would only be a danger for the tallest of pedestrians.
While there are no plans to take the Lampbrella into production, Belyaev says he recently introduced his creation to one Moscow Department, and insists his creation could be installed on any street where a lot of people walk but there are no canopies to provide shelter.
1.What do we know from Belyacv抯 words in Paragraph 2?
A.His creation was inspired by an experience. B.It rains a lot in the city of Saint Petersburg.
C.Street lamps are protected by canopies. D.He enjoyed taking walks in the rain.
2.Which of the following show how the lampbrella works?
A. motor→canopy→sensors B. sensors→motor→canopy
C. motor→sensors→canopy D. canopy→motor→sensors
3.What does Paragraph 5 mainly tell us about the lampbrella?
A. Its moving speed. B. Its appearance. C. Its installation. D. Its safety.
4.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A.The designer will open a company to promote his product.
B.The lampbrella could be put into immediate production.
C.The designer is confident that his creation is practical.
D.The lampbrella would be put on show in Moscow.
二、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。
Nature soothes(抚慰) our stressed-out souls. We know that nature is the best prescription, and new research suggests we can gain benefits while visiting parks.
① The study published in the International Journal of Environmental Health Research found that spending 20 minutes in a city park can make you happier, regardless of whether you use that time to exercise or not.
"In general, we found park visitors reported an improvement in emotional well-being (幸福感) after the park visit." the study's lead author and University of Alabama at Birmingham professor Hon K. Yuen said in a statement." ② Instead, we found time spent in the park is related to improved emotional well-being."
For the study, 94 adults visited three city parks in Mountain Brook, Alabama, completing a questionnaire about their subjective well-being before and after their visit. ③ A visit of between 20 and 25 minutes showed the best results, with a roughly 64% increase in the participants' self-reported well-being, even if they didn't move a great deal in the park. ④__
The study group was truly small, as the study's co-author and another UAB professor, Gavin Jenkins, acknowledges. ⑤ The challenge facing cities is that there is increasing evidence about the value of city parks but we continue to see the decrease of these spaces.
A. Something was used to track their physical activity.
B. You usually visit a small green space in your neighborhood.
C. However, its findings pointed out the importance of city parks.
D. If you want to feel happier, you just need to exercise for 20 minutes in a park.
E. The best part is that you needn't visit a national park or go far out of your way.
F. This means people can benefit from visiting a nearby park, regardless of physical ability.
G. But we didn't find levels of physical activity are linked to improved emotional well-being.

六、阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
Lai Shixiong, president of the Ivy League Analytical English magazine based in Taiwan, believes that constant practice and hard work are the keys to mastering English.
Like many non-native speakers, Lai failed when he started learning English. When he was in high school, he once got an unbelievably low mark of seven out of 100 in an English test. He almost gave up on English, but then he graduated from high school and enrolled(入学) in a military(军队的) school, where he met a classmate who was very good at English.
Amazed by his classmate's American accent, Lai decided to start learning English from the very beginning. To correct his pronunciation, Lai practiced phonetic symbols(音标) hundreds of times every day using vinyl records(黑胶唱片).
Now that he was able to pronounce words, he began to practice dialogues. "I just talked to myself as if I were in a dialogue," he said. "I was basically talking to the air."
However, talking to himself also meant that Lai wouldn't be able to hear English expressions from others. That was when dictionaries came to his rescue. Unlike many who just look up vocabulary and pronunciations, Lai looked at details-definitions, usages and example sentences. "By checking every single part of the entry(词条), you learn not only the vocabulary itself, but plenty of useful small words," Lai said.
Reading and listening to English news is another good way to keep abreast of (了解.....的最新进展) new expressions. "The English news can teach us how to describe new things in our daily lives," Lai said.
When he found it easy enough to speak English, Lai thought of two ways to improve his skills. He used English to describe everything he saw. He even translated speeches when he went to class meetings at the military school.
"There is no shortcut to mastering a language. You have to practice," Lai said. After all, Rome wasn't built in a day.

答案以及解析
一、阅读理解
1.答案:(1)-(3)BBB
解析:【文章大意】本文是一篇应用文。介绍了一款适合初学者健身的自行车的价格、特点以及顾客的评论等。
(1)B 细节理解题。根据文章开篇部分中的"Buy 2 or more for?66.49 each"可知,买两辆自行车,每辆自行车的价格为E66.49,所以两辆的价格为?132.98故选B。
(2)B 细节理解题。根据文中的"...you can monitor your progress via the on-board computerised control panel."和"A built-in computer monitor measures time, speed, distance and calories, so you can keep track of your progress." 可知,你可以通过内在的计算机监视器来监督自己的进步。故选B。
(3)B 推理判断题。根据最后一部分中的"What our customers say: this is a good quality bike and simple to put together."可知,顾客们对该自行车有很好的评价。故选B。而根据文中的"Maximum user weight:100kg"可知,该自行车不适合体重在100千克以上的人。故排除A项。
2.答案:1.A; 2.B; 3.D; 4.C
解析:1.推理判断题。第二段的主题句为首句The designer says he came up with the idea after watching people get wet on streets in Russia.后文Belyaev所言是更为具体描述,即本段中Belyaev的话语是点出了他设计lampbrella的灵感来源。故答案选A。
2.细节归纳题。根据文章第三段话的叙述It has a built-in electric motor which can open or close the umbrella on demand. Sensors(传感器) then ensure that the umbrella offers pedestrians shelter whenever it starts raining.可知,先是发动机的运转,然后发动机打开伞,最后是传感器的运转。故选B。
3.段落大意题。根据本段“...so as not to cause harm to the pedestrians”“... to protect from possible lighting strike”“Being installed at 2 metres off the ground, it would only be a danger for the tallest of pedestrians”可以得知,这是lampbrella的人性化设计,为避雨的行人在安全方面做了充分考虑。故选D。
4.推理判断题。根据...there are no plans to take lampbrella into production.可知lampbrella还不会投入生产,可排除A、B 选项;根据...he recently introduced his creation one Moscow Department.可排除D项;根据...insists this creation could be installed on any street where a lot of people walk but there are no canopies to provide shelter.可知Belyaev对他设计的lampbrella的实用性充满自信。故答案选C。
二、七选五
答案:E GAFC
解析:【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文。介绍了研究发现参观公园会提升我们的幸福感。
①E 根据空后..spending 20 minutes in a city park can make you happier, regardless of whether you use that time to exercise or not."可知,在公园里待20分钟就能让你更快乐,不管你是否利用这段时间锻炼身体,故E项(最棒的是,你不必去国家公园,也不必走太远的路)符合语境。
②G 根据空后"Instead, we found time spent in the park is related to improved emotional well-being."可知,相反,我们发现在公园里待的时间长短与情绪改善有关,故G项(然而,我们没有发现身体活动水平与情绪改善有关)符合语境。
③A根据空后"A visit of between 20 and25 minutes showed the best results"可知,20到25分钟的参观显示出最好的结果,参与者的幸福感增加了约64%,即使他们在公园里不怎么运动,故A项(有一些东西被用来追踪他们的身体活动)符合语境。
④F根据空前"A visit of between 20 and 25 minutes showed the best results, with a roughly 64% increase in the participants self-reported well-being, even if they didn't move a great deal in the park."可知,20到25分钟的参观显示出最好的结果,参与者的幸福感增加了约64%,即使他们在公园里不怎么运动,故F项(这意味着人们可以从参观附近的公园中受益,无论他们的身体运动情况如何)符合语境。
⑤C根据空前"The study group was truly small, as the study's co-author and another UAB professor, Gavin Jenkins, acknowledges."可知,正如研究报告的合著者,UAB的另一位教授Gavin Jenkins所说的那样,研究小组的规模确实很小,故C项(然而,研究结果指出了城市公园的重要性)符合语境。
三、完形填空
答案:1.C; 2.A; 3.B; 4.B; 5.A; 6.B; 7.A; 8.C; 9.D; 10.D; 11.A; 12.D; 13.C; 14.B; 15.C; 16.D; 17.B; 18.C; 19.B; 20.A
解析:1.根据上文可知此处表示“一个年轻人正在社区里为自己拉票,而人们通常想知道他有什么理由可以让他们支持他”。
2.根据上文seeking his community votes…可知,人们想知道为什么要给予他支持。
3.根据下文提到的... the word was pasted on his mirrors可知。
4.根据下文…why the word was pasted on his mirrors可知此处表示人们提出问题(raise questions)想了解实情。
5.本句表示父亲教给我人生的道理(teach sb. to do sth.)。
6.根据上下文可知,把faith这个词贴在镜子上是为了每一次照镜子时都能看到它,这说明父亲让他相信信念非常重要,只要活着,我们就要有信仰。have breath表示“活着”。
7.破折号后的内容是作者从这一电视剧情节中学到的lesson。
8.根据下文24 hours a day判断,我们每个人的一天同样(equally)都是24小时。
9.根据常识可知,当事情变得艰难时(get rough),更能显出信念的作用。
10.本句对比了两种情况:选择经受磨炼,信念就会增强(grow);选择逃避磨炼,信念就会仍然薄弱。
11.作者认为有些人可能会有不同意见,他们也许会争辩(argue)说,他们没有信念。
12.联系上文可知,作者对这些人的驳斥是:我们每天都在践行它,即使我们不承认(acknowledge)那就是信念。
13.此空后列举的内容都是我们的日常活动,故用task.
14.此空表示信念来自(come from)你所听和所做的事。
15.根据空后内容可知,看了那些报纸后,作者总会情绪低落。因此,要树立信念,作者应该是决定以后不再(stop)看那些有负面影响的报纸了。
16.联系上下文可知,此处所需词汇应与sad意义相近,表示“悲伤和负面的消息”。
17.读了那样的内容,作者应该“注意到”了自己情绪的低落。
18.践行信念时,它会变成一个美好的东西。put...to work表示“践行,使起作用”。
19.联系前文可知,信念能把你的精神状态提升到更髙的高度,促使你提升自我,并宣称:“是的,我能行。”
20.根据第二段中的 If we choose to exercise our faith, it will…可知此处应选exercise。
四、语法填空
答案:1. an2. while3. hiding4. worried5. in6. who/whom7. educated8. herself9. handful10. amazement
解析:
本文主要描述了发音不规范的卖花姑娘Eliza和研究语音学的Higgins教授相遇时的情景。
1. an 考査冠词。此处表泛指,且unrefined 的发音以元音音素开头,故用冠词an。
2.?while考査连词。根据语境可知,此处表示前后对比,故填while,意为“而;然而”。
3.?hiding考査非谓语动词。当从句的主语与主句的主语相同,且从句中含有be动词时,可将从句中的主语和be动词省略,所以填hiding,从句中省略了they were。
4.?worried考查词性转换。由空前的get可知,空处应用形容词,“get +?adj. ”为习惯用法,意为“变得……”。
5.?in考查固定搭配。in disguise是固定搭配,意为“伪装(的),假扮(的)”。
6.?who/whom 考査定语从句。分析句子结构可知,空处引导定语从句。修饰先行词Colonel Pickering,并在从句中做宾语,故填who/whom。
7.?educated 考査非谓语动词。此处once引导的从句中省略了主语和be动词,补充完整为once she was educated,所以填educated。
8.?herself考查反身代词。根据语境可知, 此处表示“她自己”,故填herself。
9.?handful 考査搭配。a handful of “— 把(的量);少数”,为固定搭配。
10.?amazement考查词性转换。分析句子结构,此处应用名词形式。in amazement 意为“惊讶地;吃惊地”。
五、短文改错
答案:
??? Volunteer travel, is familiar to foreigners, has nowadays become more and more popular in China. Young travellers volunteer to work for youth hostels so that they can eat and live there for. At the same time, they can enjoy the local scenery their spare time.
??? As far as I am, volunteer travel has some advantages and benefits from you a lot. It can save you / of money by providing free accommodations, which makes it possible for you to travel to more places and experience different cultures. Meanwhile, volunteer travel your life by different jobs in youth hostels, which also can change your way of life.
??? All in all, it meaningful.
解析:
①that→which此为非限制性定语从句, 先行词为Volunteer travel,指物,关系词做主语,故用which,不能使用that。
②something→nothing/free 根据上下文 可知,义工旅行是旅行者为人义务打工,以 换取免费的食宿,免费可用for nothing, for free以及free of charge三个短语来表达。
③on→in在空闲时间需用介词in。
④concern →concerned as far as ... be concerned意为“就……而言”,文中指“在我看来”,故需用concerned。
⑤ 去掉from benefit sb.意为“对某人有利”,符合句意。benefit from…意为 “从……中受益”。
⑥lot 前 a 或 lot→lots a lot of 和 lots of 都 可以表示“许多”,可修饰可数名词和不可 数名词。
⑦much→many 这里指更多的地方,修饰复数名词places,故much需改成many。
⑧enrich→enriches 句中主语为 volunteer travel,为第三人称单数形式,文中使用一 般现在时,故谓语动词需用第三人称单数 enriches。
⑨offer→offering by为介词,需接名词或动名词,by doing…意为“通过做……”。
⑩was→is根据上文可知,文中用一般现在时阐述义工旅行的好处,故was需改为is。
六、书面表达
答案:
??? Based on his own experience, Lai Shixiong, president of the Ivy League Analytical English magazine based in Taiwan, told us story after story of how he changed himself from a poor English learner into a successful language expert by overcoming all kinds of difficulties.(要点1) It is not any shortcut but constant practice and hard work that helped him succeed in mastering English.(要点2)
