To kick off their project, Denise introduced her group (19 first graders and 8 fifth graders) to community mapping.“Where do you live？What's the name of your county？What's the name of your state？” she asked. “So it starts in your own backyard，” she explains, “and it progresses across the street to the park, where you see urban wildlife, and finally you start to look at the bigger picture.” Students then observed homeless cats outside their school, and together, they took action to return them to where they were found. The students led the entire project.“I was just a guide，” says Denise.“But that's the point：They are going to love science and animals.They know they are the future and that they are the people who are the keepers of this planet.”She also notes that students come to understand what positive choices can have：They discover their own strengths and even weaknesses.They identify partners' efforts and they form friendships and bonds. But ultimately, says Denise, “my goal was to try to teach compassion, namely sympathy.” That's the biggest payoff she tries to convey to her students. For other educators with a willing heart, she offers a few words of advice：Get students outside—even just to walk around the school grounds, guide them to build trust and put themselves in others' shoes, and never give up! 语篇导读　主题语境：人与自我/学校生活。本文为记叙文，讲述了主人公丹尼斯在学校发起了“根与芽”项目，激发学生的同情心和探索欲。 4．What does the underlined phrase “that same connection” probably refer to? A．Love for nature and animals. B．Desire for a higher social status. C．Denise and Goodall's relationship. D．Courage to explore the unknown. 答案　A 解析　词句猜测题。画线短语的上文讲到，和简博士一样，拥有林业背景的丹尼斯总是与自然和动物联系在一起。不久之后，她在学校发起了“根与芽”项目。由此可知，画线短语that same connection可能指的是“热爱自然和动物”，故选A项。 5．Which of the following might Denise agree with?

In June, researchers in Australia created robotic fibers, which can make fabric move automatically.Last year, scientists at MIT built fiber batteries that could be embedded into clothes and power robotic clothing.In recent years, Google partnered with brands like Levi's and Adidas to put sensors in jackets, backpacks and shoes, letting users access their phones instantly.Researchers said they could soon unlock an era where clothing will act more like a computer, sensing how your body feels and telling your clothes how to help. At the University of New South Wales in Australia, researchers are creating fabrics that can shape-shift.Thanh Nho Do, a senior lecturer at the school, said his team has created tiny tubes that can weave into sheets of fabric.These tubes can make fabric take various preprogrammed shapes.But challenges still remain for Do's team, notably around making these robotic tubes smaller so they can weave easily with other fabrics. Rebecca Kramer Bottiglio from Yale University agreed that many challenges remain before smart clothing “reaches their full potential”. “It will be challenging to make these clothes, equipped with fibers and technology, strong enough to go through multiple cycles in the laundry，” she said.Despite that, she says researchers will figure out a way forward.“Recent breakthroughs point toward a not-so-distant future where smart clothing will be a part of our everyday life，” she said. 语篇导读　主题语境：人与社会/科技发展与信息技术创新。本文为说明文，主要介绍智能服装或将入驻我们的未来衣橱。 8．What inspired the researchers to come up with “The Right Trousers”？ A．A film.

It's likely that by 2050 the majority of the people in the world will live in urban(城市的) areas, and will have a much higher average age than people today.Cities theorist Richard Florida thinks urbanization will reinvent the education system of the United States, making our economy less real estate(房地产) driven and erasing(消除) the divisions between home and work. And rapidly advancing technology will continue ever more rapidly.Cities of the future won't look like “some sort of science-fiction fantasy”， but it's likely that technological advances and information overlays(VR and AR) will greatly change how we live.Self-driving cars will make the roads safer and provide faster transports.A larger version of driverless cars—driverless trucks—may make long-distance drivers out of date. Some long view predictions are completely dire.Environmentalist Bill McKibben says that if we don't make great progress in fighting global warming, it's likely we could see out-of-control rises in sea levels, huge crop shortfalls, and wars over limited freshwater resources. In terms of how we will eat, green markets founder and “real food” supporter Nina Planck believes that there will be more small milk processing plants, and more regional food operations and we'll be healthier as a result.New York Times feature writer Mark Bittman thinks that people will eat fewer processed foods, and eat foods grown closer to where they live.And Anson Mills farmer Glenn Roberts thinks that more people will be aware of the “ethical(道德的) responsibility” to grow and preserve land-raised farm systems. 语篇导读　主题语境：人与社会/社会进步与人类文明。本文为新闻报道。杂志Big Think就40年后的世界会如何这一话题，邀请了各行各业的精英人士发表评论。 12．What may happen by 2050? A．Most people will live in cities. B．The ageing population will drop. C．Home education will become a trend.

However, scientists will need to terraform(地球化) Mars for people to be able to live, which means changing the environment on Mars so that it is similar to Earth's.One of the main goals of terraforming Mars is to warm it up because the average temperature is about －60℃.　2　 This could take many centuries.However，it should lead to rainfall and growth of plants, resulting in more air for people to breathe. Another big concern for scientists is whether humans can move to Mars and still stay healthy in mind and body.As a test, six people lived in a Mars-like environment in Hawaii for a year before “returning to Earth” recently.　3　 Some people living there said that one of the biggest issues was feeling bored.So humans on Mars would always need to keep themselves busy with various activities.　4　 One particular organization is planning to send the first humans to Mars before 2030.The organization believes that its project is giving people worldwide the chance to be part of the first human crew ever to live on Mars for good.　5　 Regardless, it seems that humans living on Mars may well happen a lot sooner than people believe. A．However, many experts think it can cost too much money. B．Stephen Hawking believed humans must move into space to survive. C．NASA believes new astronauts should be chosen for future missions without delay. D．One idea for warming Mars is to build factories there that produce greenhouse gases. E．It will prevent us from learning about the ability of humans to live in a different environment. F．It was a 1,200-square-foot room that was on the side of a volcano and used the sun for energy. G．Another important thing was that the people living together should all be able to get along and work together. 语篇导读　主题语境：人与自然/宇宙探索。本文为说明文。科学家们正在研究将火星“地球化”，一个特别的组织计划在2030年前将第一批人类送上火星。 1．答案　B 解析　顺承关系。下句讲到：火箭科学家罗伯特·祖布林对此表示同意，并认为从火星开始最有意义。由此推知，此处是罗伯特·祖布林对另一个人的观点表示同意，故选B项。 2．答案　D 解析　顺承关系。根据上一句可知，火星平均温度约为－60℃，不利于人类生存，使其地球化的目标之一就是升温，因此，D项(让火星变暖的一个想法是在那里建造制造温室气体的工厂)切题，且该选项中的warming与上文中的warm相呼应，故选D项。 3．答案　F 解析　解释关系。上下文讲到，为了模拟在火星生活，六个人在夏威夷类似火星的环境中生活了一年，住在那里的的人感觉最大的问题是感到无聊，由此推知该空应该阐述这六个人具体生活的环境是怎样的，故选F项。 4．答案　G 解析　并列关系。上文讲到六个人在夏威夷类似火星的环境中生活了一年，反馈了一些问题，最大的问题之一是感到无聊，接下来，很可能提到另一些问题，G项(另一件重要的事情是，住在一起的人都应该能够相处，一起工作)符合语境，且该选项中的Another important thing与上文one of the biggest issues相呼应，故选G项。 5．答案　A 解析　转折关系。上句提到，一个特别的组织计划在2030年前将第一批人类送上火星，由此推知，该空将阐述这个计划可能会产生的问题，故选A项。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
