Escaping from the current life. √ Vasilis and I were wandering Athens when a special sound caught our attention—a rhythmic clinking disturbing the quietness of the residential street. Curiously, we followed the sound to a humble workshop. Inside, a welder (焊工) gave no mind to our presence behind him. He wore no flashy protective suit—this was just another day for him, another dance with fire and metal that had become second nature. Under the sunshade, his orange cat rested in the comforting warmth... be dong…when 正在做…就在这时 定语从句 As the man continued welding, I felt a bit of envy. I envied his peace and contentment.

Special sound in the street. √ fulfillment 成就;满足 blend= mix Home again in Montreal, I stop simply pursuing better things, better experiences and better people that are never grasped. I realize the real journey is inward—to appreciate life’s ordinary magic. That sure beats petting any baby elephant. I may not have returned home “transformed,” but I’ll always think of the welder and his cat. √ 7. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A. Friendship Lasts Forever B. Travelling Shapes a Better Self C. Pursuit of Happiness Never Stops D.

S. Department of Agriculture as a climate adaption strategy, virtual fencing is an innovative technology that enables ranchers to use a smartphone or web app to remotely monitor and control where and when cattle graze. Virtual fences can reduce the need for physical fences, which require significant time, expense and labor to maintain. Physical fences also limit land managers in their ability to change grazing boundaries to adapt to seasonal changes in vegetation or to exclude cattle from ecologically sensitive areas. 8. What’s stressed concerning virtual fencing in paragraph 2? Its smart design. B. Its major advantages. C. Its wide application. D. Its working principles. √ 状语从句被动的省略 定语从句 exclude 不包括，把……排除在外 The cows are outfitted with battery-operated, GPS-enabled collars that send out a radio frequency to communicate with reception towers, creating virtual grazing boundaries set by a rancher. When a cow approaches the edge of the virtual boundary, the collar produces a sound signaling it to turn around. If the cow proceeds to cross the boundary, it receives a momentary mild shock, signaling that it’s gone too far and should rejoin its group. 9. What does the mild shock indicate to the cow? A. It’s time to return. B. It’s time to graze. C. It’s in danger. D. It’s in a wrong direction. √ be outfitted with= be equipped with 定语从句 定语从句主动的省略 现在分词做结果状语 定语从句被动的省略 Grasslands are the least protected habitat on earth and one of the most effective carbon sinks, storing up to 20% of the world’s soil organic carbon. Unfortunately, grasslands are continuing to rapidly disappear for several reasons. For ecological health, most grassland ecosystems need periods of disturbance to aerate (使透气) the soil, stimulate plant growth and recycle nutrients into the soil. Ranchers complete this disturbance-rest cycle by managing the timing, location, herd size and intensity of grazing activities, all of which can be time-consuming and painstaking. 10.What’s unavoidable for ranchers to complete the disturbance-rest cycle? Intense efforts. B. Polluted soil. C. Financial failure. D. Ecological imbalance. √ 定语从句 11. What’s Mr. Burnidge’s attitude to virtual fencing? A. Intolerant. B. Objective. C. Doubtful. D. Conservative. √ 阅读理解D Over the past few months, I’ve been invited to speak with well-known writers, musicians and film producers regarding my recent book, Extraterrestrial. Prior to these conversations, I was on the receiving (and admiring) end of their artistic work, but now they were curious about my own research as a scientist. The reverse led me to recognize the similarities between innovation in the arts and the sciences. 12.Which can best replace the underlined word “reverse” in paragraph 1? A. Priority. B. Assumption. C. Shift. D. Preference. regarding= concerning prior to 在…前面,优先于 √ In sciences and arts alike, creativity appears magically as an unpredictable fountain of inspiration from the subconscious. Its unexpected content breaks routines within traditional thinking. It delivers something new that is distinct from common practices, often taking people out of their comfort zone because it is ahead of its time. As a result, many innovators are laughed at and denied the recognition they deserve when they need it the most. 13. What can best describe creativity in sciences and arts? A. It tends to be forecastable. B. It mirrors common beliefs. C. It usually leads the times. D. It enjoys instant acceptance. 定语从句 现在分词做结果状语 recognize→n. recognition √ There are many examples of such circumstances. In 1933 Fritz Zwicky inferred the existence of “dark matter”, but it took four decades for this concept to gain recognition within the astronomy community. Vincent van Gogh was considered a madman and a failure throughout his life. Today, his paintings are among the most expensive ever sold, though. It takes some time for sb/sth to do sth exist→n. existence though= however Typically, life offers two ways of acquiring objects. One is by collecting available items, and the other is by creating things that never existed before. Whereas most items on the shelves of supermarkets are mass-produced, products that are newly created by artists or scientists are originally unique. Just like aging wine, a product of creative work acquires quality over time. It is colored by the response of the audience as well as by imitations. The initial circumstances are a reminder of an admirable baby. It is fascinating for a scientist or an artist to watch the interaction of their creation with the world, just as it is for parents to watch their children. 14. What can be inferred from paragraph 4? A. Creative works withstand the test of time. B. Mass-produced items are preferable. C. Old wine can’t be put into new bottles. D. Inventiveness starts from childhood. √ Creativity in arts and sciences establishes a backdrop for human existence, as the content it invents gives pleasure and meaning to our lives. The human act of creation is an infinite-sum game, from which all of us benefit. And we can all participate in the creative process. 15. What’s the purpose of the last paragraph? A. To clarify a concept. B. To launch an appeal. C. To offer an entertainment. D. To advocate a lifestyle. √ backdrop （舞台的）背景幕布;周围景物;（事件的）背景 $$
