Over the past 10 years, he has taken more than 100,000 photos of trains in nearly 30 countries and areas, including India, Malaysia, Russia and Thailand. In 1995, Wang Tiancheng was born in Daqing, Heilongjiang. He developed his interest in trains during his childhood (童年). “Every month, my parents took me to visit my grandparents by train. They lived in another city about 300 kilometres away,” he said. “I was always too excited to fall asleep before the trip. I feel so lucky that my parents have believed in-me. Whenever I come up with something new, they always inspire me to have a try.” Around 2005, Wang made friends with people online and talked about trains with them. Then he began his new life of collecting train information. At first, he just took good-looking pictures. But later, he paid more attention to what was behind the railway. He tried to find the relationship among the train, time and people. His skills of taking photos were much better. With the small camera, he took over 100,000 meaningful pictures. Over the years, he has faced many challenges (挑战), such as danger from animals in the wild, poor weather and bad traffic conditions. “Trains are a symbol of history,” Wang said. “I will never stop my study of railway culture and I hope to develop more topics in the future.” 根据语篇内容，选出最佳选项。 36. What is Wang Tiancheng interested in? A. Trains. B. Photos. C. Travelling. 37. What does the underlined word “inspire” mean in Chinese? A. 阻止 B. 鼓励 C. 警告 38. Why did Wang pay more attention to the culture behind the railway? A. To travel around the world. B. To take good-looking pictures. C. To find the relationship among the train, time and people. 39. What can we learn from the passage? A. Wang Tiancheng will keep studying the railway culture. B. Wang Tiancheng has taken photos of trains in nearly 50 countries. C. Wang Tiancheng’s parents didn’t allow him to take photos of trains. 40. What is the best title for the passage? A. A Happy Travel in Foreign Countries B. A 29-year-old Man’s Wonderful Hobby C. A challenge of taking photos of trains D Are you always feeling stressed (压力)? Do you want to be full of energy (能量) in a short time? Let’s see what researchers discovered. A study, from University of Michigan, found that it is helpful to lower stress levels when we walk or sit close to the nature for at least 20 minutes. On one hand, a study from University of Alabama at Birmingham found that after people visit their local city parks, they feel happier. “In general, people told that they will improve their moods (心情) after visiting the park.” said the researcher Hon Yuen. “We did not find a clear relationship between exercise and improved moods. Instead, we found it is very helpful to improve moods to spend time in parks.” On the other hand, another study by King’s College London researchers discovered that being outdoors, seeing trees, hearing birdsong, looking at the sky, and being close to nature were connected with higher levels of the mental health (心理健康). Sometimes, these good results make people relax themselves for seven hours. Exercising in parks can easily restore (恢复) visitors’ moods and energy levels, and communication with nature brought many advantages to the mental health, such as the form of resting, enjoying themselves and building their self-confidence. Open spaces, especially green spaces, offer chances to communicate with others. And that may help people to understand themselves better and develop social relationships. With so many advantages, why not put down your work and take a walk in nature? 根据语篇内容，选出最佳选项。 41. How does the writer introduce the topic? A. By giving examples. B. By listing numbers. C. By asking questions. 42. Where can we stay to improve moods from this passage? A. In the park. B. At home. C. At school. 43. What advantages can visitors get from communication with nature? A. Enjoying themselves and working. B. Building self-confidence and working. C. Enjoying themselves and building self-confidence. 44. What does the underlined word “that” refer to (指的是)? A. Communication with others. B. Open spaces. C. Chances. 45. What’s the writer’s main purpose of this passage? A. To make readers feel happier. B. To improve readers’ mental health. C. To ask readers to get close to nature. 六、选词填空（共10小题，每小题1.5分，共15分） 根据语篇内容，从方框中选择恰当的单词，并用其正确形式填空。将单词填写在答题卡对应的横线上。每个单词只能用一次。 cross learn cheap developed different how but videos wear history Have you heard of the bamboo drifting (独竹漂)?
