The way the shadows（阴影）pass through the arches makes the park particularly attractive for photographers. Sitting 5 miles northwest of Moab, Utah, the park has 26 miles of scenic road and hikes for every level of fitness. Best Months to Visit The best time to visit Arches National Park is from April to May and from September to October. In summer, temperatures can go beyond 100 degrees, making exploring the park very uncomfortable. In late summer, violent storms often cause flash floods, which can be quite dangerous. Winter is a good time for sightseeing, with fewer crowds, but occasional snow and ice can make the paths wet, smooth and therefore easy to fall on. However, the visitor center is open daily. What to Eat There are no restaurants or hotels in Arches National Park, so you need to bring your own food or plan to eat in neighboring Moab, Utah, about 5 miles from the park entrance. There are several picnic areas in the park, so plan ahead if you want to eat with Arches as the background. Getting Around Arches National Park The best way to get around Arches National Park is by car. There is no public transport inside Arches National Park. Visitors can also ride bikes in the park, but there are no bike lanes or shoulders, so this is more of an option for experienced cyclists. 1. What may visitors do at Arches National Park? A. Have dinner in restaurants. B. Take some photographs. C. Learn about another planet. D. Stay in the hotel for a few days. 2. What is a disadvantage of visiting the park in winter? A. The risk of falling. B. The danger of flash floods. C. The crowds of tourists. D. The shutdown of the visitor center. 3. Where is this text probably taken from? A. A travel journal. B. A geography book. C. A tourism website. D. An academic article. 【答案】1. B 2. A 3. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了美国拱门国家公园的相关情况。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Why Go to Arches National Park部分“The way the shadows（阴影）pass through the arches makes the park particularly attractive for photographers.( 阴影穿过拱门方式使公园对摄影师特别有吸引力。)”可知，阴影穿过拱门的方式使公园对摄影师特别有吸引力，因此游客有可能会在Arches National Park拍一些照片。故选B。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Best Months to Visit部分“Winter is a good time for sightseeing, with fewer crowds, but occasional snow and ice can make the paths wet, smooth and therefore easy to fall on.(冬天是观光的好时节，人群较少，但偶尔的冰雪会使小路潮湿、光滑，因此很容易摔倒。)”可知，游客在冬天游览公园的话会有摔倒的风险。故选A。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了游览拱门国家公园的相关信息，因此本文很可能来自于一家旅游网站。故选C。 B Eric Carle, the author and artist behind The Very Hungry Caterpillar and dozens of other children’s books, has passed away at the age of 91. Mr. Carle’s lively, creative and colorful works were loved by children around the world. Mr. Carle was the author or illustrator of over 70 books for children, including The Grouchy Ladybug, The Mixed-Up Chameleon and Papa, Please Get the Moon for Me. The Very Hungry Caterpillar was Mr. Carle’s best-known book. It was published in 1969. Since then, over 55 million copies of the book have been sold, and it has been translated into more than 70 different languages. Mr. Carle was born in Syracuse, New York in 1929. His parents were German. As he was growing up, Mr. Carle spent a lot of time with his father, who would take him out walking in nature. His father would show him small creatures, explaining their life cycles and filling the young boy’s head with wonder. Mr. Carle thinks this helps explain why so many of his books are about nature. Many are about bugs like crickets, fireflies, ladybugs and butterflies. Others are about animals, like foxes, squirrels, kangaroos and bears. In 1952, Mr. Carle got a job as an artist at the New York Times. Author Bill Martin, Jr. asked Mr. Carle to illustrate his book Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?, which is Mr. Carle’s first try. The book came out in 1967 and was a big hit. After that, he created many children’s books that were very popular with his children. Most of Mr. Carle’s books are meant for younger readers. He said that he wanted to help make school a fun and welcoming place. “I believe that children are naturally creative and eager to learn,” he said. “I want to show them that learning is really both fascinating and fun.” Mr. Carle will be missed, and his creative art and sweet, funny stories will continue to bring joy to very eager readers all around the world. 4. When was The Very Hungry Caterpillar published? A. In 1929. B. In 1952. C. In 1967. D. In 1969. 5. Why are most of Mr. Carle’s books about nature according to him? A. His parents grew up in the countryside. B. His father led him close to nature. C. Nature gave him a lot of hope. D. The topic on nature is child-friendly. 6. Which of the following is the first picture book illustrated by Eric Carle? A. The Mixed-Up Chameleon. B. The Very Hungry Caterpillar. C. Papa, Please Get the Moon for Me. D. Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?. 7. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To remember a great writer. B. To introduce children’s books. C. To encourage kids to read more. D. To draw more concern for kids. 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. D 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了已故儿童作家及艺术家埃里克·卡尔的生平事迹和艺术成就，表达了对卡尔先生的怀念之情。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The Very Hungry Caterpillar was Mr. Carle’s best-known book, It was published in 1969.”（《饥饿的毛毛虫》是卡尔先生的著名书籍之一，出版于1969年。）可知，《饥饿的毛毛虫》 出版于1969年。故选D项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“As he was growing up, Mr. Carle spent a lot of time with his father, who would take him out walking in nature.”（在他成长的过程中给，卡尔先生花了很多时间和他的父亲在一起，他带着卡尔走进大自然。）及第四段“Mr. Carle thinks this helps explain why so many of his books are about nature.”（卡尔先生认为这有助于解释为什么他的很多书籍都是关于自然主题的原因。）可知，卡尔先生的父亲经常带他亲近大自然，所以他认为这可能是他的书大部分是关于自然主题的原因。故选B项。 6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“Author Bill Martin, Jr. asked Mr. Carle to illustrate his book Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? , which is Mr. Carle’s first try.”（作者比尔·马丁请卡尔先生给他的书《棕色的熊，棕色的熊，你在看什么？》加插图，这是卡尔的第一次尝试。）可知，卡尔先生第一本加插图的书是《棕色的熊，棕色的熊，你在看什么？》。故选D项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Mr. Carle will be missed, and his creative art and sweet, funny stories will continue to bring joy to very eager readers all around the world.”（卡尔先生将会被人们怀念，并且他的创造性的艺术和甜美有趣的故事将会继续给全世界渴望的读者带来喜悦。）可知，作者写这篇文章的目的是为了纪念一位伟大的作家。故选A项。 C A study led by the University of Eastern Finland suggests that teenagers who engage in active school transport (walking/cycling to or from school at least once per week) and leisure-time physical activity perform better at secondary school than their inactive peers (同龄人). Regular leisure-time physical activity was also associated with lower possibilities of school burnout (倦怠). The findings were published in the European Journal of Public Health. The relationship of physical activity and academic achievement is complex. However, previous studies have found that especially school-based physical activity, such as physical education, can improve classroom performance — particularly in mathematics. Despite this, few studies have examined the association between active school transport and educational outcomes. In the recently published study of over 34, 000 teenagers, researchers observed that active school transport was associated with higher chances of high perceived academic performance and self-reported competence in academic skills. Being physically active before school could, for example, enhance concentration in class. The association was even stronger for leisure-time physical activity. Similar to previous studies, the relationship between leisure-time physical activity and mathematical skills stood out. Leisure-time physical activity was also inversely associated (负相关的) with school burnout. As little as 30 minutes of weekly activity was associated with 24% lower possibilities of school burnout. Teenagers who engaged in leisure-time physical activity for 4 to 6 hours a week had 46% lower possibilities of school burnout compared to their physically inactive peers. Both leisure-time physical activity and active school transport were also positively associated with school enjoyment. “To the best of my knowledge, this was the first large-scale study to examine the association between physical activity and school burnout among teenagers. Leisure-time physical activity can be an effective way to disconnect from schoolwork and the potential stress related to it. If schools can increase the amount of leisure-time physical activity among youth, both learning and wellbeing benefits can be significant,” said Juuso Jussila, a Doctoral Researcher at the University of Eastern Finland. 8. Which aspect of the study does paragraph 1 focus on? A. Its purpose. B. Its subjects. C. Its result. D. Its process. 9. According to the text, the relationship between workout and academic performance is ________. A. complex B. clear C. meaningless D. simple 10. How may a student cycling to school perform? A. Feel tired in class. B. Pay more attention in class. C. Be afraid of learning mathematics. D. Be eager to do physical activity. 11. What’s Jussila’s suggestion for schools? A. Asking students to respect teachers. B. Teaching students how to be happy. C. Focusing on improving students’ scores. D. Increasing students’ time for physical activity. 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，一项研究表明，多参加学校体育活动有助于提高学生的学业表现。 【8题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中“A study led by the University of Eastern Finland suggests that teenagers who engage in active school transport(walking/cycling to or from school at least once per week) and leisure-time physical activity perform better at secondary school than their inactive peers (同龄人). Regular leisure-time physical activity was also associated with lower possibilities of school burnout (倦怠). The findings were published in the European Journal of Public Health.(东芬兰大学领导的一项研究表明，积极参与学校交通（每周至少一次步行/骑自行车上下学）和闲暇时间体育锻炼的青少年在中学的表现要比不怎么运动的同龄人好。有规律的闲暇时间体育活动也与降低学校倦怠的可能性有关。研究结果发表在《欧洲公共卫生杂志》上)”可知，第一段主要是讲述这项研究的结果，在学校里多进行体育活动的学生在学校表现更好，故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“The relationship of physical activity and academic achievement is complex.(体育活动和学业成绩之间的关系是复杂的)”可知，锻炼和学习成绩之间的关系是复杂的，故选A。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Being physically active before school could, for example, enhance concentration in class.(例如，上学前进行体育锻炼可以提高课堂上的注意力)”可知，上学前进行体育锻炼可以提高课堂上的注意力，所以骑自行车上学的孩子可能在课堂上的注意力更集中，故选B。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中Jussila说的话“If schools can increase the amount of leisure-time physical activity among youth, both learning and wellbeing benefits can be significant(如果学校能增加青少年在闲暇时间的体育活动，对学习和健康都有很大的好处)”可知，Jussila建议学校增加学生的体育活动时间，故选D。 D Humans have a positive view of nature. But is this due to an approach we have learned while growing up, or is it something we are born with? The answer is “Both”, according to researchers at the University of Gothenburg and the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences. Our love of nature is highly individual and should influence how we plan our cities, say the researchers. It is well known that nature has a positive effect on people. In cities in particular, studies have shown that trees and other greenery contribute to people’s wellbeing. However, experts do not agree on the reasons behind this phenomenon. Researchers from the University of Gothenburg and the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences have reviewed several studies within this field that examine both innate factors and what individuals experience during their lives, primarily as children. In a Japanese study, subjects were asked to walk in a forest and in a city while their heartbeat was measured. This showed that positive emotions increased in 65% of people while they are walking in a forest. Thus, far from everyone had a positive view of nature. Another environmental psychology study found that research subjects are unconsciously (无意识地) drawn to nature instead of cities, and that this attraction was strengthened in those whose childhood was rich in nature. An additional study on identical and non-identical twins showed that a genetic (遗传的) component influences an individual’s positive or negative relationship with nature. But the study also highlighted the importance of environment in terms of attitudes towards nature. Moreover, nature can mean completely different things to different people. Some enjoy parks with lawns and planted trees, while others prefer being in the wilderness. The researchers believe that this variation is also determined by both genetics and environment. “So it’s important that we don’t standardise nature when planning greenery in our towns and cities,” adds Marcus Hedblom, a researcher at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences and co-author of the article. “We shouldn’t replace wild greenery with a park and assume that it will be good for everyone.” 12. How did the author introduce the topic? A. By bringing up an argument. B. By listing a series of facts. C. By referring to different opinions. D. By asking and answering questions. 13. What does the underlined word “innate” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Social. B. Inborn. C. Extra. D. Unique. 14. What did the Japanese study indicate? A. People had a negative experience in nature. B. People were unconsciously drawn to nature. C. All people didn’t respond to nature positively. D. The feeling toward nature was related to childhood. 15. What is a suitable title for the text? A. Why Do We Love Nature? B. How Do People Feel in Nature? C. What Makes Nature So Powerful? D. Why Is Nature Important to Humans? 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是研究人员说，人们对自然的热爱是高度个人化的，应该会影响我们如何规划城市。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Humans have a positive view of nature. But is this due to an approach we have learned while growing up, or is it something we are born with?(人类对自然有着积极的看法。但这是由于我们在成长过程中学到的一种方法，还是我们与生俱来的？)”和“The answer is “Both”, according to researchers at the University of Gothenburg and the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences.(哥德堡大学和瑞典农业科学大学的研究人员表示，答案是“两者都有”。)”可知，作者是通过提问和回答问题引入话题的。故选D。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段“But is this due to an approach we have learned while growing up, or is it something we are born with?(但这是由于我们在成长过程中学到的一种方法，还是我们与生俱来的？)”和第三段“and what individuals experience during their lives, primarily as children(以及个人在他们的生活中，主要是在儿童时期所经历的)”可知，划线词所在的句子表示“University of Gothenburg和Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences的研究人员回顾了该领域的几项研究，这些研究既考察了先天因素，也考察了个人在生活中（主要是在儿童时期）经历的事情”，划线词innate的意思是“天生的”，和inborn意思相近，故选B。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“This showed that positive emotions increased in 65% of people while they are walking in a forest. Thus, far from everyone had a positive view of nature.(研究表明，65%的人在森林中散步时，积极情绪增加了。因此，远非每个人都有一个积极的自然观。)”可知，日本的研究表明了并不是所有的人都对自然做出积极的反应。故选C。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“Humans have a positive view of nature. But is this due to an approach we have learned while growing up, or is it something we are born with? The answer is “Both”, according to researchers at the University of Gothenburg and the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences. Our love of nature is highly individual and should influence how we plan our cities, say the researchers.(人类对自然有着积极的看法。但这是由于我们在成长过程中学到的一种方法，还是我们与生俱来的？哥德堡大学和瑞典农业科学大学的研究人员表示，答案是“两者都有”。研究人员说，我们对自然的热爱是高度个人化的，应该会影响我们如何规划城市。)”可知，本文主要讲的是研究人员说，人们对自然的热爱是高度个人化的，应该会影响我们如何规划城市，也就是我们为什么会热爱大自然，因此最恰当的题目是A选项“Why Do We Love Nature?(我们为什么热爱大自然？)”。故选A。 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 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。 Benefits of Sports Camps in Summer When you sign up for sports camps for your children, you may have the intention of helping them improve their skills.

His mother, Krishna Patterson, described what her son went through as a result of his disabled legs, which kept him from successfully socializing with other children. One day last week, after struggling to find friends, Walker decided to look around his residential area to see if he could find anybody willing to be his friend. During his search, he went up to a house that belonged to a resident named Brennan Ray and asked for his help. The boy approached Ray’s front door and started talking with the man, asking Ray if he knew of any kids in his age group around the area that he could be friends with. Walker said, “I really need some friends...Do you have any kids?” Ray told Walker that if he went to the house that was on his right, he would find some kids he could play with. However, Walker then told Ray that the kids he was referring to were the very same kids that had often made fun of him. When the sweet boy asked whether or not Ray had any children of his own that he could make friends with, Ray responded that he only had a two-year-old baby. Eager to find some friends, Walker then said that he liked two-year-olds and explained how he had a sister the same age he enjoyed playing with. After this exchange, Ray asked Walker for his name, which he gave him, right before he politely said his goodbye and left. Feeling sorry for the boy, Ray decided to see how he could help Walker. 注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Ray posted the little boy’s story on the Internet. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ There were still some young people who lived nearby seeing the post. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Ray posted the little boy’s story on the Internet.

The way the shadows（阴影）pass through the arches makes the park particularly attractive for photographers. Sitting 5 miles northwest of Moab, Utah, the park has 26 miles of scenic road and hikes for every level of fitness. Best Months to Visit The best time to visit Arches National Park is from April to May and from September to October. In summer, temperatures can go beyond 100 degrees, making exploring the park very uncomfortable. In late summer, violent storms often cause flash floods, which can be quite dangerous. Winter is a good time for sightseeing, with fewer crowds, but occasional snow and ice can make the paths wet, smooth and therefore easy to fall on. However, the visitor center is open daily. What to Eat There are no restaurants or hotels in Arches National Park, so you need to bring your own food or plan to eat in neighboring Moab, Utah, about 5 miles from the park entrance. There are several picnic areas in the park, so plan ahead if you want to eat with Arches as the background. Getting Around Arches National Park The best way to get around Arches National Park is by car. There is no public transport inside Arches National Park. Visitors can also ride bikes in the park, but there are no bike lanes or shoulders, so this is more of an option for experienced cyclists. 1. What may visitors do at Arches National Park? A. Have dinner in restaurants. B. Take some photographs. C. Learn about another planet. D. Stay in the hotel for a few days. 2. What is a disadvantage of visiting the park in winter? A. The risk of falling. B. The danger of flash floods. C. The crowds of tourists. D. The shutdown of the visitor center. 3. Where is this text probably taken from? A. A travel journal. B. A geography book. C. A tourism website. D. An academic article. B Eric Carle, the author and artist behind The Very Hungry Caterpillar and dozens of other children’s books, has passed away at the age of 91. Mr. Carle’s lively, creative and colorful works were loved by children around the world. Mr. Carle was the author or illustrator of over 70 books for children, including The Grouchy Ladybug, The Mixed-Up Chameleon and Papa, Please Get the Moon for Me. The Very Hungry Caterpillar was Mr. Carle’s best-known book. It was published in 1969. Since then, over 55 million copies of the book have been sold, and it has been translated into more than 70 different languages. Mr. Carle was born in Syracuse, New York in 1929. His parents were German. As he was growing up, Mr. Carle spent a lot of time with his father, who would take him out walking in nature. His father would show him small creatures, explaining their life cycles and filling the young boy’s head with wonder. Mr. Carle thinks this helps explain why so many of his books are about nature. Many are about bugs like crickets, fireflies, ladybugs and butterflies. Others are about animals, like foxes, squirrels, kangaroos and bears. In 1952, Mr. Carle got a job as an artist at the New York Times. Author Bill Martin, Jr. asked Mr. Carle to illustrate his book Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?, which is Mr. Carle’s first try. The book came out in 1967 and was a big hit. After that, he created many children’s books that were very popular with his children. Most of Mr. Carle’s books are meant for younger readers. He said that he wanted to help make school a fun and welcoming place. “I believe that children are naturally creative and eager to learn,” he said. “I want to show them that learning is really both fascinating and fun.” Mr. Carle will be missed, and his creative art and sweet, funny stories will continue to bring joy to very eager readers all around the world. 4. When was The Very Hungry Caterpillar published? A. In 1929. B. In 1952. C. In 1967. D. In 1969. 5. Why are most of Mr. Carle’s books about nature according to him? A. His parents grew up in the countryside. B. His father led him close to nature. C. Nature gave him a lot of hope. D. The topic on nature is child-friendly. 6. Which of the following is the first picture book illustrated by Eric Carle? A. The Mixed-Up Chameleon. B. The Very Hungry Caterpillar. C. Papa, Please Get the Moon for Me. D. Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?. 7. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To remember a great writer. B. To introduce children’s books. C. To encourage kids to read more. D. To draw more concern for kids. C A study led by the University of Eastern Finland suggests that teenagers who engage in active school transport (walking/cycling to or from school at least once per week) and leisure-time physical activity perform better at secondary school than their inactive peers (同龄人). Regular leisure-time physical activity was also associated with lower possibilities of school burnout (倦怠). The findings were published in the European Journal of Public Health. The relationship of physical activity and academic achievement is complex. However, previous studies have found that especially school-based physical activity, such as physical education, can improve classroom performance — particularly in mathematics. Despite this, few studies have examined the association between active school transport and educational outcomes. In the recently published study of over 34, 000 teenagers, researchers observed that active school transport was associated with higher chances of high perceived academic performance and self-reported competence in academic skills. Being physically active before school could, for example, enhance concentration in class. The association was even stronger for leisure-time physical activity. Similar to previous studies, the relationship between leisure-time physical activity and mathematical skills stood out. Leisure-time physical activity was also inversely associated (负相关的) with school burnout. As little as 30 minutes of weekly activity was associated with 24% lower possibilities of school burnout. Teenagers who engaged in leisure-time physical activity for 4 to 6 hours a week had 46% lower possibilities of school burnout compared to their physically inactive peers. Both leisure-time physical activity and active school transport were also positively associated with school enjoyment. “To the best of my knowledge, this was the first large-scale study to examine the association between physical activity and school burnout among teenagers. Leisure-time physical activity can be an effective way to disconnect from schoolwork and the potential stress related to it. If schools can increase the amount of leisure-time physical activity among youth, both learning and wellbeing benefits can be significant,” said Juuso Jussila, a Doctoral Researcher at the University of Eastern Finland. 8. Which aspect of the study does paragraph 1 focus on? A. Its purpose. B. Its subjects. C. Its result. D. Its process. 9. According to the text, the relationship between workout and academic performance is ________. A. complex B. clear C. meaningless D. simple 10. How may a student cycling to school perform? A. Feel tired in class. B. Pay more attention in class. C. Be afraid of learning mathematics. D. Be eager to do physical activity. 11. What’s Jussila’s suggestion for schools? A. Asking students to respect teachers. B. Teaching students how to be happy. C. Focusing on improving students’ scores. D. Increasing students’ time for physical activity. D Humans have a positive view of nature. But is this due to an approach we have learned while growing up, or is it something we are born with? The answer is “Both”, according to researchers at the University of Gothenburg and the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences. Our love of nature is highly individual and should influence how we plan our cities, say the researchers. It is well known that nature has a positive effect on people. In cities in particular, studies have shown that trees and other greenery contribute to people’s wellbeing. However, experts do not agree on the reasons behind this phenomenon. Researchers from the University of Gothenburg and the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences have reviewed several studies within this field that examine both innate factors and what individuals experience during their lives, primarily as children. In a Japanese study, subjects were asked to walk in a forest and in a city while their heartbeat was measured. This showed that positive emotions increased in 65% of people while they are walking in a forest. Thus, far from everyone had a positive view of nature. Another environmental psychology study found that research subjects are unconsciously (无意识地) drawn to nature instead of cities, and that this attraction was strengthened in those whose childhood was rich in nature. An additional study on identical and non-identical twins showed that a genetic (遗传的) component influences an individual’s positive or negative relationship with nature. But the study also highlighted the importance of environment in terms of attitudes towards nature. Moreover, nature can mean completely different things to different people. Some enjoy parks with lawns and planted trees, while others prefer being in the wilderness. The researchers believe that this variation is also determined by both genetics and environment. “So it’s important that we don’t standardise nature when planning greenery in our towns and cities,” adds Marcus Hedblom, a researcher at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences and co-author of the article. “We shouldn’t replace wild greenery with a park and assume that it will be good for everyone.” 12. How did the author introduce the topic? A. By bringing up an argument. B. By listing a series of facts. C. By referring to different opinions. D. By asking and answering questions. 13. What does the underlined word “innate” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Social. B. Inborn. C. Extra. D. Unique. 14. What did the Japanese study indicate? A. People had a negative experience in nature. B. People were unconsciously drawn to nature. C. All people didn’t respond to nature positively. D. The feeling toward nature was related to childhood. 15. What is a suitable title for the text? A. Why Do We Love Nature? B. How Do People Feel in Nature? C. What Makes Nature So Powerful? D. Why Is Nature Important to Humans? 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 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。 Benefits of Sports Camps in Summer When you sign up for sports camps for your children, you may have the intention of helping them improve their skills.

His mother, Krishna Patterson, described what her son went through as a result of his disabled legs, which kept him from successfully socializing with other children. One day last week, after struggling to find friends, Walker decided to look around his residential area to see if he could find anybody willing to be his friend. During his search, he went up to a house that belonged to a resident named Brennan Ray and asked for his help. The boy approached Ray’s front door and started talking with the man, asking Ray if he knew of any kids in his age group around the area that he could be friends with. Walker said, “I really need some friends...Do you have any kids?” Ray told Walker that if he went to the house that was on his right, he would find some kids he could play with. However, Walker then told Ray that the kids he was referring to were the very same kids that had often made fun of him. When the sweet boy asked whether or not Ray had any children of his own that he could make friends with, Ray responded that he only had a two-year-old baby. Eager to find some friends, Walker then said that he liked two-year-olds and explained how he had a sister the same age he enjoyed playing with.

Feeling sorry for the boy, Ray decided to see how he could help Walker. 注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Ray posted the little boy’s story on the Internet. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ There were still some young people who lived nearby seeing the post. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
