When it comes to sustainability (可持续性), Lauren Singer is the real deal. Known for her “Trash is For Tossers” blog and Package Free lifestyle shop, Singer is leading by example with a single mason jar (广口瓶) containing the only trash (垃圾) she’s collected in eight years (yes, you read that correctly). With recent money support from some companies, Singer is focused on becoming the largest producer of sustainable products in the world.
It all started when Singer was studying at New York University. As an Environmental Science student, she was getting mad at a classmate for making much plastic trash, but later she found every single thing in her own fridge was in one way or another packaged in plastic. It turned out she was as bad. So, she decided to move from plastics and thought the only way was to learn how to make her own products. Then, while she was doing research online, she came across a blog called the “Zero Waste Home” started by a Californian family who live a completely zero-waste life.
Her mind was completely blown. Originally, she thought she was doing the best for the planet by not using plastic. But the idea of producing no trash was so inspiring that she began her zero-waste journey and explored the possibility of living a waste-free life. She started by stopping buying packaged food and making her own products. Besides, instead of buying new clothing, she would buy things that were totally recycled, second-hand. She was also downsized — had only the things that she really needed.
In 2014, Lauren Singer founded her blog, “Trash is for Tossers”, to document her waste-free journey, as well as provide easy, actionable tips and tricks to living sustainably. She is becoming increasingly popular and has even been invited to lecture at the United Nations to promote her zero-waste lifestyle: “Refuse, Reduce, Reuse, Recycle.” By taking simple action, everyone can contribute to the environment.
4. What can we learn about Lauren Singer?
A. She founded a blog to collect trash. B. She produced little trash in eight years.
C. She prefers to keep trash in mason jars. D. She reduces the cost of sustainable products.
5. What does paragraph 2 focus on?
A. What inspired Singer’s reflection on college life.
B. How Singer learned to make her own products.
C. What led to Singer’s journey to zero waste.
D. How Singer thought about plastic-free life.
6. What is the first step in Singer’s new lifestyle?
A. Giving up plastic products. B. Buying second-hand things.
C. Avoiding packaged food. D. Providing actionable recycling tips.
7. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Meet zero-waste activist Lauren Singer
B. Gather more support to ensure sustainability
C. Trash is for Tossers-a way to a zero waste life
D. DIY products-contributions to a better environment

Active learning is a method that has students learning at its centre and fully participating in class activities. It focuses on not only the content but also the way they learn. Students are encouraged to “think hard”, practice skills, solve problems, struggle with complex questions, propose solutions, and explain ideas in their own words through writing and discussion, rather than receive information inactively from the teacher.
Active learning is based on the Theory of Constructivism (建构主义理论), which stresses the fact that learners build their own understanding upon their existing knowledge. Researchers also believe that learning should be closely connected and within a meaningful context. Besides, learning experiences for young people should be appropriate to their level of development.
There is now a wealth of research that shows us that simply telling students what they need to know doesn’t help them to gain a deep understanding of a subject area. Instead, teachers should challenge their students’ thinking. Teachers should also keep students engaged and active in their own learning process so as to build students’ knowledge and understanding.
By giving students greater involvement and control over their learning, active learning increases students’ interest and develops their learning ability. This means that students are better able to continue learning once they have left school and college. It also prepares students better for both higher education and for the workplace because analytical (分析的) skills help them to be better at solving problems. Universities and employers value this.
Since an active learning method encourages all students to stay focused on their learning, teachers will often see students show greater interest in their studies. They also enjoy the level of academic discussion with their students which an active learning approach encourages.
8. What is the purpose of paragraph 2?
A. To advocate active learning. B. To further explain active learning.
C. To present application of active learning. D. To evidence the effects of active learning.
9. How should teachers promote active learning in students?
A. By offering ideas. B. By giving explanation.
C. By feeding information. D. By encouraging thinking.
10. What can be a benefit of active learning?
A. Higher education admission rate.
B. Better life-long learning ability.
C. Fewer complex questions while studying.
D. Greater teacher control over students’ learning.
11. Which aspect of active learning does the passage focus on?
A. Its features. B. Its rules. C. Its background. D. Its development.
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. B 11. A
【解析】

As the world deals with the rising temperatures brought by climate change, the demand for cooling solutions in hot, dry regions becomes increasingly pressing. However, traditional air conditioning systems produce massive greenhouse gases and use lots of energy.
Facing these challenges, a research team from McGill University, UCLA, and Princeton have found an inexpensive, sustainable cooling method. Their approach not only offers a solution for cooling but also promises to address the problem of heat waves during electricity blackouts.
The researchers set out to achieve a new standard in passive cooling (无动力制冷) within naturally conditioned buildings in hot climates such as Southern California. They aimed to address an important question: how can passive cooling techniques outperform traditional air conditioning units and improve indoor comfort?
The key to this breakthrough lies in harnessing the potential of radiative (辐射的) cooling materials, specifically in the context of housing design. Traditionally, such materials have been employed to prevent roofs(屋顶) from overheating and improve heat rejection from cooling systems. However, the research team recognised that there is under-explored potential in integrating these materials into building design — they can not only remove waste indoor heat but also drive regular and healthy air changes.
Lead author Remy Fortin stated, “We found we could maintain air temperatures several degrees below the surrounding temperature.”Remarkably, they achieved this success without giving up a healthy airing. This was never a piece of cake, considering air exchange can unintendedly introduce heat into the building when the goal is to keep the inside cooler than the outside.
The researchers are hopeful that their findings will be used to positively impact communities suffering from climatic heating and heat waves. Salmaan Craig, the principal researcher expressed their expectations: “We hope that materials scientists, designers, and engineers will be interested in these results and that our work will inspire more broader thinking for how to integrate breakthroughs in radiative cooling materials with simple but effective solutions.”
12. What is the primary purpose of the research?
A. To prevent power shortages. B. To improve air conditioners.
C. To realise eco-friendly cooling. D. To produce new cooling chemicals.
13. What is a fruit of the research besides lower indoor temperatures?
A. Healthy air changes. B. Clear sunshine.
C. Cheap roof materials. D. Reduced coatings.
14. What does the underlined word “harnessing” in the paragraph 4mean?
A. Taking care of. B. Losing sight of.
C. Keeping track of. D. Making use of.
15. What can be expected of future research according to Craig?
A. Stricter greening gas limits.
B. Positive impact on community services.
C. New papers on housing design techniques.
D. More attention from different professionals.
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. D 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项关于如何在炎热气候中实现环保制冷的新研究,以及该研究的潜在应用和前景。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段的“As the world deals with the rising temperatures brought by climate change, the demand for cooling solutions in hot, dry regions becomes increasingly pressing. However, traditional air conditioning systems produce massive greenhouse gases and use lots of energy.(随着世界应对气候变化带来的气温上升,炎热干燥地区对冷却解决方案的需求变得越来越迫切。然而,传统的空调系统会产生大量的温室气体并消耗大量能源)”以及第二段的“Facing these challenges, a research team from McGill University, UCLA, and Princeton have found an inexpensive, sustainable cooling method.(面对这些挑战,来自麦吉尔大学、加州大学洛杉矶分校和普林斯顿大学的一个研究小组发现了一种廉价、可持续的冷却方法)”可知,这项研究的主要目的是实现环保的冷却方式。故选C。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段的“However, the research team recognised that there is under-explored potential in integrating these materials into building design — they can not only remove waste indoor heat but also drive regular and healthy air changes.(然而,研究小组认识到,将这些材料整合到建筑设计中的潜力尚未得到充分探索——它们不仅可以去除室内废热,还可以促进定期和健康的空气变化)”可知,除了降低室内温度外,这项研究还带来了健康的空气流通这一成果。故选A。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线单词所在句子“the potential of radiative (辐射的) cooling materials, specifically in the context of housing design(辐射冷却材料的潜力,特别是在住房设计方面)”以及“However, the research team recognised that there is under-explored potential in integrating these materials into building design — they can not only remove waste indoor heat but also drive regular and healthy air changes(然而,研究小组认识到,将这些材料整合到建筑设计中的潜力尚未得到充分探索——它们不仅可以去除室内废热,还可以促进定期和健康的空气变化)”可知,这项突破的关键在于利用辐射冷却材料的潜力,特别是在住房设计方面。所以划线单词的意思为“利用”。故选D。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段Salmaan Craig的话“We hope that materials scientists, designers, and engineers will be interested in these results and that our work will inspire more broader thinking for how to integrate breakthroughs in radiative cooling materials with simple but effective solutions.(我们希望材料科学家、设计师和工程师对这些结果感兴趣,我们的工作将激发更广泛的思考,如何将辐射冷却材料的突破与简单有效的解决方案相结合)”可推知,他期望未来的研究会吸引来自不同领域的专业人士的关注。故选D。

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。
When it comes to learning a new language, adults are at a disadvantage. However, a recent study found that some language learners who started as adults scored as well as native speakers. ____16____ Trying the following methods may help you speed up the learning progress.
◆Do spaced repetition.
____17____ You might revise a new word a few times in one practice, and then again the next day. Once you know it well you’ll be able to leave days or weeks between revisions without forgetting it.
◆Study content, not the language.
According to a study, when the students learn another subject taught in English instead of a class only to teach English, they tested better listening and are more willing to learn. Students in the standard English class scored better on reading and writing tests. Thus, once you’ve mastered the basics of a new language, try having conversations with friends learning the same language. ____18____
◆Practice a little every day.
If you’re busy you might put off your studying. Yet you might cram (塞入) in a big chunk of learning once every week or two.____19____ Your brain’s “inbox” has limited space. Therefore, the best use of the brain is to study in small chunks each day.
◆____20____
The brain prefers freshness but gives way to too many new ideas at once. New ideas work best when they’re mixed in with familiar information. When you add new words to your vocabulary, try integrating them with in-between words you’re already familiar with. So they’ll stand out — your brain will hold on to them more easily.
A. Mix new and old.
B. Enlarge vocabulary.
C. In spaced repetition, you learn regularly.
D. You can also read articles online or listen to a program.
E. However, studying a little daily is actually more effective.
F. It shows that if you are willing to learn, it’s not necessarily too late.
G. Spaced repetition could help strengthen your conversation abilities.
【答案】16. F 17. C 18. D 19. E 20. A
【解析】
【导语】本文体裁为说明文。文章主要通过提出建议的方式,说明了成年人如何更有效地学习新语言,内容务实且具有指导性,旨在帮助读者了解和采纳科学的语言学习方法。
【16题详解】
由上文“When it comes to learning a new language, adults are at a disadvantage. However, a recent study found that some language learners who started as adults scored as well as native speakers. (在学习一门新语言时,成年人处于不利地位。然而,最近的一项研究发现,一些成年后开始学习语言的人的得分和母语人士一样高。)”可知,研究发现一些成年开始学习语言的人也能达到与母语者相近的水平,这表明成人学习新语言并不一定处于绝对劣势。因此,此空应衔接这一积极的信息,表达意愿和努力的重要性。选项F“It shows that if you are willing to learn, it’s not necessarily too late. (这表明,如果你愿意学习,不一定就太晚了)”能承接上文,符合题意。故选F。
【17题详解】
此段落标题为“Do spaced repetition. (进行间隔重复)”可知,接下来的内容会解释什么是间隔重复以及其作用。选项C“In spaced repetition, you learn regularly. (在间隔重复中,你会定期学习)”正好概括了间隔重复的核心概念,即定期复习,符合段落主题,故选C。
【18题详解】
由上文“According to a study, when the students learn another subject taught in English instead of a class only to teach English, they tested better listening and are more willing to learn. Students in the standard English class scored better on reading and writing tests. Thus, once you’ve mastered the basics of a new language, try having conversations with friends learning the same language. (根据一项研究,当学生学习另一门用英语教授的课程而不是只教英语的课程时,他们的听力测试更好,更愿意学习。标准英语班的学生在阅读和写作测试中得分更高。因此,一旦你掌握了一门新语言的基本知识,试着和学这门语言的朋友交谈。)”可知,上文建议在掌握基础后,可以尝试与学习相同语言的朋友进行对话,本空应继续提及具体建议。选项D“You can also read articles online or listen to a program. (你也可以在线阅读文章或听节目)”为新增的学习方式,符合学习内容而非仅限语言本身的建议,能承接上文,符合题意。故选D。
【19题详解】
由上文“If you’re busy, you might put off your studying. Yet you might cram (塞入) in a big chunk of learning once every week or two. (如果你很忙,你可能会推迟学习。然而,你可能会每一两个星期死记硬背一次。)”可知,此空上文提到可能因为忙碌而每周或每隔两周才集中学习一次,接下来应该对比说明每日少量学习的效果。选项E“However, studying a little daily is actually more effective. (然而,实际上每天学习一点点更有效)”符合对比转折的语境,符合题意。故选E。
【20题详解】
由下文“The brain prefers freshness but gives way to too many new ideas at once. New ideas work best when they’re mixed in with familiar information. When you add new words to your vocabulary, try integrating them with in-between words you’re already familiar with. So they’ll stand out - your brain will hold on to them more easily. (大脑喜欢新鲜的东西,但同时也会让位于太多的新想法。当新想法与熟悉的信息混合在一起时,效果最好。当你在词汇表中增加新单词时,试着把它们与你已经熟悉的单词结合起来。所以它们会很突出——你的大脑会更容易记住它们。)”可知,本空需要选择一个概括下文信息的短语。下文内容涉及新旧信息结合的学习方法,选项A“Mix new and old. (混合新旧内容)”准确概括了这一策略,符合题意。故选A。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。主要介绍的是中国在植树造林方面取得了巨大的成功,为应对全球气候变化、促进绿色低碳发展作出了贡献。
【46题详解】
考查形容词最高级。句意:在过去的几十年里,中国创造了世界上最大的人工林,森林覆盖率从12%上升到24.02%。此处为形容词作定语修饰名词forests,根据空前的定冠词the可知,此处应为形容词最高级形式。故填largest。
【47题详解】
考查介词。句意:在过去的几十年里,中国创造了世界上最大的人工林,森林覆盖率从12%上升到24.02%。此处为固定短语from…to…意为“从……到……”符合句意,所以此处使用介词from。故填from。
【48题详解】

【49题详解】
考查冠词。句意:2022年,中国林业和草原产业总产值达到83700亿元。结合句意可知,此处的value为特指,指的是“中国林业和草原产业”的总价值,所以此处使用定冠词the。故填the。

考查动词不定式。句意:为保护森林,促进绿色发展,2019年修订了《森林保护法》,并于2020年实施。此处为非谓语动词作状语,结合句意可知,此处表示目的,所以使用动词不定式形式,位于句首,to的首字母需大写。故填To protect。
【51题详解】
考查时态语态。句意:为保护森林,促进绿色发展,2019年修订了《森林保护法》,并于2020年实施。此处为谓语动词,根据时间状语in 2019可知,此处应为一般过去时,revise与主语the country’s law之间为被动关系,所以此处使用一般过去时的被动语态,其主语为第三人称单数。故填was revised。
【52题详解】
考查名词。句意:在中国取得显著绿色成就的背后,是造林和治沙技术的进步。该句为倒装句,此处为名词作主语,advance意为“进步”,根据谓语动词are可知,此处应为名词复数形式。故填advances。
【53题详解】
考查形容词。句意:中国政府科学有效的防控措施极大地改变了这个县,这让我看到了改善家乡环境的希望,”在甘肃民勤进行相关研究的伊朗博士生Rezaali Pakzad说。此处为形容词作定语修饰名词短语“prevention and control methods”,science的形容词为scientific意为“科学的”与形容词effective为并列关系。故填scientific。
【54题详解】
考查表语从句。句意:中国政府科学有效的防控措施极大地改变了这个县,这让我看到了改善家乡环境的希望,”在甘肃民勤进行相关研究的伊朗博士生Rezaali Pakzad说。此处位于系动词之后,所以为连接词引导的表语从句,从句中缺少主语,结合句意,此处表示的是事物,所以使用连接代词what。故填what。
【55题详解】
考查现在分词。句意:中国的植树造林为应对全球气候变化、促进绿色低碳发展作出了贡献,为世界创造了更大的发展效益。此处为非谓语动词作状语,create与逻辑主语China’s afforestation efforts之间为主动关系,所以此处使用现在分词形式。故填creating。
第四部分 读后续写 (满分25分)
56. 阅读下面材料,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。
At the far end of town sat an old house. Kids in my school considered it scary but this was where I lived with mom and my little brother, Andy.
The outside of the old house might make you think twice about entering. Dropping paint showed black images beneath. Shaky windows hung outside. And long grass surrounded the house.
Dad was away for work and mom rented (租) the house for our previous apartment was too small. She cleaned every room and helped me paint mine into Sea Blue. But the outside remained unchanged because mom got no time and our house owner, who agreed to help, broke his legs recently.
The following days, I always avoided inviting classmates to my house. Then Granny came. Andy wouldn’t be in kindergarten until next year, so having Granny watch him while mom worked would save expense. She usually sat at the kitchen table, helping Andy with his numbers while the smell of newly-made bread filled the house.
I kept my secret safe until one day a classmate pointed me out. I felt my face grow hot. With more students gathering, I could not bear it, saying, “Yes, we moved. But the house will look better once we have it painted!”
When I got home, I ran outside and found a ladder and a mower (梯子和割草机). I moved the mower around but soon got tired. “What’s wrong?” Granny asked. I told her what happened with tears.
Granny shook her head. “They will make fun of everything. This is a fine house and you all have worked hard to make it nice.”
The next day at school, a boy named Juan stopped me. He said his friend David and he were starting a paint business. They were wondering if I would allow them to paint our house. “It is actually a nice house with good bones.” he said.
After school, I told Granny that offer. Granny said it would be fine and she could offer them delicious pizza as rewards.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
(请在答题卡上作答上,此处作答无效)
Feeling excited, I accepted Juan and David’s offer of help.

Weeks later, I found my classmates coming to visit my beautiful home.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Feeling excited, I accepted Juan and David’s offer of help. They were quite excited and soon visited our house with tools. With great care, they fixed the front door and the windows, and then painted the walls with fresh colours we preferred. Each day, as Juan and David worked, every brushstroke was like magic. Meanwhile, I helped a little by mowing the grasses. My Granny’s pizza served as best drives for our labour. When the painting was done, the house looked amazing. I stood in the yard, my eyes turning teary. Later the news of my house was spread.
Weeks later, I found my classmates coming to visit my beautiful home. They were amazed at the change and couldn’t stop praising the fresh colours and tidy surroundings. The once scary house had become a welcoming place. Some kids apologised for their disrespectful behaviours, which I accepted with friendliness. We spent the day playing in the yard, enjoying Granny’s snacks, and exploring the newly beautified house. Thanks to Juan and David’s efforts and Granny’s encouragement, the house was no longer a secret to be hidden but a home to be celebrated. And I was proud to call it mine.

When it comes to sustainability (可持续性), Lauren Singer is the real deal. Known for her “Trash is For Tossers” blog and Package Free lifestyle shop, Singer is leading by example with a single mason jar (广口瓶) containing the only trash (垃圾) she’s collected in eight years (yes, you read that correctly). With recent money support from some companies, Singer is focused on becoming the largest producer of sustainable products in the world.
It all started when Singer was studying at New York University. As an Environmental Science student, she was getting mad at a classmate for making much plastic trash, but later she found every single thing in her own fridge was in one way or another packaged in plastic. It turned out she was as bad. So, she decided to move from plastics and thought the only way was to learn how to make her own products. Then, while she was doing research online, she came across a blog called the “Zero Waste Home” started by a Californian family who live a completely zero-waste life.
Her mind was completely blown. Originally, she thought she was doing the best for the planet by not using plastic. But the idea of producing no trash was so inspiring that she began her zero-waste journey and explored the possibility of living a waste-free life. She started by stopping buying packaged food and making her own products. Besides, instead of buying new clothing, she would buy things that were totally recycled, second-hand. She was also downsized — had only the things that she really needed.
In 2014, Lauren Singer founded her blog, “Trash is for Tossers”, to document her waste-free journey, as well as provide easy, actionable tips and tricks to living sustainably. She is becoming increasingly popular and has even been invited to lecture at the United Nations to promote her zero-waste lifestyle: “Refuse, Reduce, Reuse, Recycle.” By taking simple action, everyone can contribute to the environment.
4. What can we learn about Lauren Singer?
A. She founded a blog to collect trash. B. She produced little trash in eight years.
C. She prefers to keep trash in mason jars. D. She reduces the cost of sustainable products.
5. What does paragraph 2 focus on?

Active learning is a method that has students learning at its centre and fully participating in class activities. It focuses on not only the content but also the way they learn. Students are encouraged to “think hard”, practice skills, solve problems, struggle with complex questions, propose solutions, and explain ideas in their own words through writing and discussion, rather than receive information inactively from the teacher.
Active learning is based on the Theory of Constructivism (建构主义理论), which stresses the fact that learners build their own understanding upon their existing knowledge. Researchers also believe that learning should be closely connected and within a meaningful context. Besides, learning experiences for young people should be appropriate to their level of development.
There is now a wealth of research that shows us that simply telling students what they need to know doesn’t help them to gain a deep understanding of a subject area. Instead, teachers should challenge their students’ thinking. Teachers should also keep students engaged and active in their own learning process so as to build students’ knowledge and understanding.
By giving students greater involvement and control over their learning, active learning increases students’ interest and develops their learning ability. This means that students are better able to continue learning once they have left school and college. It also prepares students better for both higher education and for the workplace because analytical (分析的) skills help them to be better at solving problems. Universities and employers value this.
Since an active learning method encourages all students to stay focused on their learning, teachers will often see students show greater interest in their studies. They also enjoy the level of academic discussion with their students which an active learning approach encourages.
8 What is the purpose of paragraph 2?
A. To advocate active learning. B. To further explain active learning.
C. To present application of active learning. D. To evidence the effects of active learning.
9. How should teachers promote active learning in students?
A. By offering ideas. B. By giving explanation.
C. By feeding information. D. By encouraging thinking.
10. What can be a benefit of active learning?
A. Higher education admission rate.
B. Better life-long learning ability.
C. Fewer complex questions while studying.
D. Greater teacher control over students’ learning.
11. Which aspect of active learning does the passage focus on?
A. Its features. B. Its rules. C. Its background. D. Its development.
D
As the world deals with the rising temperatures brought by climate change, the demand for cooling solutions in hot, dry regions becomes increasingly pressing. However, traditional air conditioning systems produce massive greenhouse gases and use lots of energy.
Facing these challenges, a research team from McGill University, UCLA, and Princeton have found an inexpensive, sustainable cooling method. Their approach not only offers a solution for cooling but also promises to address the problem of heat waves during electricity blackouts.
The researchers set out to achieve a new standard in passive cooling (无动力制冷) within naturally conditioned buildings in hot climates such as Southern California. They aimed to address an important question: how can passive cooling techniques outperform traditional air conditioning units and improve indoor comfort?
The key to this breakthrough lies in harnessing the potential of radiative (辐射的) cooling materials, specifically in the context of housing design. Traditionally, such materials have been employed to prevent roofs(屋顶) from overheating and improve heat rejection from cooling systems. However, the research team recognised that there is under-explored potential in integrating these materials into building design — they can not only remove waste indoor heat but also drive regular and healthy air changes.
Lead author Remy Fortin stated, “We found we could maintain air temperatures several degrees below the surrounding temperature.”Remarkably, they achieved this success without giving up a healthy airing. This was never a piece of cake, considering air exchange can unintendedly introduce heat into the building when the goal is to keep the inside cooler than the outside.
The researchers are hopeful that their findings will be used to positively impact communities suffering from climatic heating and heat waves. Salmaan Craig, the principal researcher expressed their expectations: “We hope that materials scientists, designers, and engineers will be interested in these results and that our work will inspire more broader thinking for how to integrate breakthroughs in radiative cooling materials with simple but effective solutions.”
12. What is the primary purpose of the research?
A. To prevent power shortages. B. To improve air conditioners.
C. To realise eco-friendly cooling. D. To produce new cooling chemicals.
13. What is a fruit of the research besides lower indoor temperatures?
A. Healthy air changes. B. Clear sunshine.
C. Cheap roof materials. D. Reduced coatings.
14. What does the underlined word “harnessing” in the paragraph 4mean?
A. Taking care of. B. Losing sight of.
C. Keeping track of. D. Making use of.
15. What can be expected of future research according to Craig?
A. Stricter greening gas limits.
B. Positive impact on community services.
C. New papers on housing design techniques.
D. More attention from different professionals.

When it comes to learning a new language, adults are at a disadvantage. However, a recent study found that some language learners who started as adults scored as well as native speakers. ____16____ Trying the following methods may help you speed up the learning progress.
◆Do spaced repetition.
____17____ You might revise a new word a few times in one practice, and then again the next day. Once you know it well you’ll be able to leave days or weeks between revisions without forgetting it.
◆Study content, not the language.
According to a study, when the students learn another subject taught in English instead of a class only to teach English, they tested better listening and are more willing to learn. Students in the standard English class scored better on reading and writing tests. Thus, once you’ve mastered the basics of a new language, try having conversations with friends learning the same language. ____18____
◆Practice a little every day.
If you’re busy, you might put off your studying. Yet you might cram (塞入) in a big chunk of learning once every week or two.____19____ Your brain’s “inbox” has limited space. Therefore, the best use of the brain is to study in small chunks each day.
◆____20____
The brain prefers freshness but gives way to too many new ideas at once. New ideas work best when they’re mixed in with familiar information. When you add new words to your vocabulary, try integrating them with in-between words you’re already familiar with. So they’ll stand out — your brain will hold on to them more easily.
A. Mix new and old.
B. Enlarge vocabulary.
C. In spaced repetition, you learn regularly.
D. You can also read articles online or listen to a program.
E. However, studying a little daily is actually more effective.
F. It shows that if you are willing to learn, it’s not necessarily too late.
G. Spaced repetition could help strengthen your conversation abilities.

At the far end of town sat an old house. Kids in my school considered it scary but this was where I lived with mom and my little brother, Andy.
The outside of the old house might make you think twice about entering. Dropping paint showed black images beneath. Shaky windows hung outside. And long grass surrounded the house.
Dad was away for work and mom rented (租) the house for our previous apartment was too small. She cleaned every room and helped me paint mine into Sea Blue. But the outside remained unchanged because mom got no time and our house owner, who agreed to help, broke his legs recently.
The following days, I always avoided inviting classmates to my house. Then Granny came. Andy wouldn’t be in kindergarten until next year, so having Granny watch him while mom worked would save expense. She usually sat at the kitchen table, helping Andy with his numbers while the smell of newly-made bread filled the house.
I kept my secret safe until one day a classmate pointed me out. I felt my face grow hot. With more students gathering, I could not bear it, saying, “Yes, we moved. But the house will look better once we have it painted!”
When I got home, I ran outside and found a ladder and a mower (梯子和割草机). I moved the mower around but soon got tired. “What’s wrong?” Granny asked. I told her what happened with tears.
Granny shook her head. “They will make fun of everything. This is a fine house and you all have worked hard to make it nice.”
The next day at school, a boy named Juan stopped me. He said his friend David and he were starting a paint business. They were wondering if I would allow them to paint our house. “It is actually a nice house with good bones.” he said.
After school, I told Granny that offer. Granny said it would be fine and she could offer them delicious pizza as rewards.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
