The motivation for his invention came to Aarrav Anil last year when he saw his uncle Arjun, who has Parkinson’s disease, struggle to eat. Some food spilled (溢出) out of his mouth, the rest splattered (溅) on his clothes. Arjun attempted to keep his dignity but the frustration forced him to give up and call his helper to feed him.
The sight of his uncle’s shaking the spoon so violently inspired Aarrav, 17, from Bengaluru, south India, to turn to robotics. He locked himself in his room with microcontrollers, sensors, motors, and a 3D printer. What emerged was a prototype (原型) of a smart spoon that is now undergoing trials at the RV College of Physiotherapy in Bengaluru.
The sensors in the battery-operated spoon detect shaking on one side and activate movement on the other, effectively cancelling out shaking to keep the spoon stable.
“I’ve been fine tuning the design based on the college’s feedback-that it needs to be waterproof so that it can be washed without damaging all the electronics inside; that it must be removable so it can be cleaned and replaced by a fork, ” Aarrav says.
For Aarrav it is the peak of a 10-year interest in mechanics that began when his mother bought him a Lego set. He has now represented India at more than 20 robotics competitions across the world.
When the blueprint for the smart spoon won first prize in the future innovators category at last year’s World Robot Olympiad in Germany, Aarrav felt encouraged to make the prototype.
More than 7 million people in India are estimated to have Parkinson’s disease, a condition in which parts of the brain become progressively damaged and which mainly affects people over the age of 50. Symptoms (症状) include involuntary shaking and stiff muscles. As the disease progresses, eating can become more difficult, forcing people to rely on help from others.
Aarrav’s ambition is that every family that has someone with Parkinson’s will have the smart spoon. He says his uncle Arjun’s words keep echoing (回响) in his mind: “Who would have thought such a small thing could mean the difference between dignity and indignity?”
24. What can Aarrav’s invention help people with Parkinson’s do?
A. Control their physical balance. B. Boost their mood and relieve stress.
C. Maintain a good range of movement. D. Feed themselves more independently.
25. What does the underlined part “fine tuning” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Overturning. B. Reconsidering.
C. Conducting a study of. D. Making minor changes to.
26. What is the author’s purpose in mentioning Parkinson’s in India?
A. To show prospects of Aarrav’s invention.
B. To reveal the nation’s poor health situation.
C. To popularize general knowledge of the disease.
D. To convince people to volunteer for social causes.
27. What can be learned about Aarrav from the text?
A. He enjoys being alone. B. He has an innovative mind.
C. He used to be a health worker. D. He longed to be a businessman.
【答案】24. D 25. D 26. A 27. B
【解析】

【25题详解】
词句猜测题。由文章划线词后“the design based on the college’s feedback-that it needs to be waterproof so that it can be washed without damaging all the electronics inside; that it must be removable so it can be cleaned and replaced by a fork (根据学院的反馈,它需要防水,这样在清洗时不会损坏里面的所有电子设备;它必须是可拆卸的,这样就可以清洁和更换叉子)”可知,Aarrav根据学院的反馈对智能勺子进行调整,所以划线词的意思是“调整”。A. Overturning倾覆;B. Reconsidering重新考虑;C. Conducting a study of进行研究; D. Making minor changes to对进行微小更改。故选D。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。由文章倒数第二段中“More than 7 million people in India are estimated to have Parkinson’s disease, a condition in which parts of the brain become progressively damaged and which mainly affects people over the age of 50. (据估计,印度有700多万人患有帕金森氏症,这是一种大脑部分逐渐受损的疾病,主要影响50岁以上的人群。)”可知,作者提到印度帕金森氏症的目的是展示Aarrav发明的前景。故选A。

Parrots are prey animals, which means that other predators (捕食者) in the wild, such as hawks or snakes, are looking to make them into a meal. This one factor influences parrots’ behavior in your house more than any other.
Parrots are most easily hurt when feeding on the ground. Membership in a group plays an important function in ensuring their safety and improving their chances of survival from attacks by predators. The most common predators of parrots include hawks, snakes, cats, monkeys, and bats. Some predators make attacks only during the day while others hunt in the night.
As prey animals, parrots are constantly watching out for danger and they instinctively (本能地) react to risks. Their first choice is to take flight. However, if this is not possible, they will fight with their powerful beaks to defend themselves.
Because their biggest enemy is the hawk, parrots are especially reactive to quick movements from above and behind. For this reason, it is wise to avoid quick, sudden movements near your bird. This is a built-in reaction not subject to logic or reason. Simple and relatively harmless household objects can draw extreme fear responses from a bird. For example, a balloon may represent a hawk or a vacuum hose (吸尘器软管) may be the same as a snake in your bird’s mind.
As prey animals, parrots are often frightened by exposure to new household items or strangers. It is important to expose your bird to safe experiences and changes starting at a very young age to build flexibility and improve their adaptability. Variety in diet and toys, travel, and exposure to new people and places all help to make your bird more flexible and adaptable to change.
28. What is important for parrots to better survive from attacks in the wild?
A. Living in a group. B. Growing beautiful feathers.
C. Feeding on the ground. D. Avoiding coming out at night.
29. What is parrots’ first response to an immediate risk?
A. To attack back. B. To get away.
C. To protect the young. D. To play dead.
30. Why would a balloon frighten a parrot?
A. It may explode suddenly. B. It may be in a strange shape.
C. It may have a strong color. D. It may move around quickly.
31. What is the author’s purpose of writing the text?
A. To explain wild parrots’ behavior. B. To give advice on raising a parrot.
C. To call for action to protect animals. D. To introduce a study on bird ecology.
【答案】28. A 29. B 30. D 31. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了鹦鹉作为被捕食动物的行为特性和生存策略。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Membership in a group plays an important function in ensuring their safety and improving their chances of survival from attacks by predators.(群体中的成员在确保其安全和提高其从捕食者袭击中幸存下来的机会方面起着重要作用。)”可知,鹦鹉要想更好地在野外躲避攻击,重要的是要进行集体生活,故选A项。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“As prey animals, parrots are constantly watching out for danger and they instinctively (本能地) react to risks. Their first choice is to take flight.(作为猎物,鹦鹉会时刻警惕危险,并本能地对风险做出反应。他们的第一反应是飞走)”可知,鹦鹉对直接风险的第一反应是逃跑,故选B项。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Because their biggest enemy is the hawk, parrots are especially reactive to quick movements from above and behind.(因为它们最大的敌人是鹰,鹦鹉对来自上方和后方的快速移动特别敏感。)” 和下文“This is a built-in reaction not subject to logic or reason.Simple and relatively harmless household objects can draw extreme fear responses from a bird. For example, a balloon may represent a hawk or a vacuum hose (吸尘器软管) may be the same as a snake in your bird’s mind.(这是一种不受逻辑或理性约束的内在反应。简单且相对无害的家居用品会引起鸟类的极度恐惧反应。例如,在你的鸟心目中,气球可能代表鹰,或者真空软管可能与蛇相同)”可知,气球能够吓到鹦鹉是因为气球可能移动速度快,让使鹦鹉联想到鹰,故选D项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Parrots are prey animals, which means that other predators (捕食者) in the wild, such as hawks or snakes, are looking to make them into a meal. This one factor influences parrots’ behavior in your house more than any other.(鹦鹉是猎物,这意味着野生的其他捕食者,如鹰或蛇,正在寻找将它们作为食物。这一个因素比任何其他因素都更能影响鹦鹉在家里的行为)”、倒数第二段“Simple and relatively harmless household objects can draw extreme fear responses from a bird. For example, a balloon may represent a hawk or a vacuum hose (吸尘器软管) may be the same as a snake in your bird’s mind.(简单且相对无害的家居用品会引起鸟类的极度恐惧反应。例如,在你的鸟心目中,气球可能代表鹰,或者真空软管可能与蛇相同)”以及最后一段“As prey animals, parrots are often frightened by exposure to new household items or strangers. It is important to expose your bird to safe experiences and changes starting at a very young age to build flexibility and improve their adaptability. Variety in diet and toys, travel, and exposure to new people and places all help to make your bird more flexible and adaptable to change.(作为猎物,鹦鹉经常被新的家庭用品或陌生人吓到。从很小的时候就开始让你的鸟接触安全的体验和变化,以建立灵活性并提高它们的适应性,这一点很重要。饮食和玩具的多样性、旅行以及接触新的人和地方都有助于让你的鸟更灵活,更适应变化)”可知,本文的写作目的是对饲养鹦鹉提建议,故选B项。

Students at the Calhoun School in New York City have much more than a roof over their heads. They have a rooftop garden, with lush grass, colorful flowers and fragrant herbs. “Green roofs” are sprouting up all over, from schools to city skyscrapers. And roofs aren’t the only things going green. Architects are finding all sorts of new ways to build buildings that are easier on the environment. These schools, homes, and offices are called “green buildings”.
Normally it takes a lot of energy to run appliances. Too often, that energy comes from burning fossil fuels. So green buildings are designed to do all these things with much less energy. An energy-smart building starts with thick walls. A layer of insulation (隔热材料) traps air to stop heat from passing through. That keeps heat inside in the winter, and keeps heat outside in the summer. This saves energy for heating and cooling.
Heat pumps are another power-saving way to stay comfortable. A ground heat pump moves heat through pipes that run through the ground next to the building. A few feet under the ground, the temperature stays around 10℃ all year round. Water flowing around the pipes helps heat the building in winter and cool it in summer.
Another way to build green is to use recycled materials. That saves the cost and pollution of manufacturing something new. In the Chicago Center for Green Technology, the ceiling tiles (瓷砖) are made of pressed newspaper. The bathroom floors are tiled with recycled glass, and the stall walls are recycled plastic. Builders have found many creative ways to re-use old materials.
As more people become concerned about climate change, more buildings are going green. Green buildings produce less of the gases that warm the planet. City planners like green buildings because they save money. And they are healthier for the people who work and live inside. But you don’t need to build a whole new building. Simple changes like shading windows and planting trees can make any home greener — and a better Earth home for us all.
32. How are green buildings designed to keep warm in the winter?
A. By-burning fossil fuels. B. By using thick walls with insulators.
C. By running heating devices. D. By equipping buildings with appliances.
33. According to the passage, the advantages of green buildings include the following EXCEPT________.
A. saving water B. using recycled materials
C. using less energy D. reducing greenhouse gas emissions
34. In which section of a magazine can we read the text?
A. Education. B. Culture. C. Economy. D. Technology.
35. Which of the following might be the best title for the text?
A. Recycling: to make a better earth for us all
B. Heat Pumps: a new approach to saving energy
C. Green Roofs: more than a roof over our heads
D. Building Green: to hug the earth more kindly
【答案】32. B 33. A 34. D 35. D
【解析】

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。
There’s a reason why so many people love running early in the morning. ___36___ Not only do you begin your day more relaxed and refreshed, but you’ve already started things of with an accomplishment. If you think you’re ready to take advantage of the benefits of a morning run, here are five suggestions from the professionals.
●Find a friend, and be gentle with yourself
Finding a partner to run with will give you someone to be responsible for, and make it much harder to blow off the run. It’s also important to remember that this is a process, and you can’t expect to do it perfectly from the beginning. ___37___ “Once you get into the habit, it becomes natural and actually jump starts your day,” says Sheri Piers, top American finisher at the 2012 Boston Marathon.
●Embrace the movement
“The first few steps or blocks will be tough in the morning. They always are,” says Dr. Jordan Metzl, who has over 32 marathon finishes under his belt. With a practice of more than 20, 000 patients, Metzl’s days are jam-packed, so early morning runs are a must. ___38___ “Sometimes you have to just do it, and remember that the motivation will come later.” he says.
●Stay warm
___39___ “If I go to bed in my sports wear, all I need to do is throw on the outer layers and head out the door. At least that takes away some of the inconvenience,” says Tina Muir, a half-marathoner. She also leaves her alarm on the other side of the room to help push herself up.
● ___40___
“I view waking up early like tearing off a Band-Aid,” says Michele Gonzalez, a running coach. “It’s gonna hurt for a bit.” Her advice is relatively simple. “You just have to set the alarm early and start doing it,” she says. “After a few days, you’ll be tired earlier at night and will start going to bed earlier. This makes the early alarm feel a bit more manageable.”
A. It has major benefits.
B. Have a training plan.
C. Make peace with the pain.
D. It’s just like warming up a car in the winter.
E. Even if you have a setback or two, keep at it.
F. Still, he knows how hard it can be to get motivated.
G. The worst part is getting changed in the cold air especially in winter.
【答案】36. A 37. E 38. F 39. G 40. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文,文章介绍了关于晨跑的几个建议。
36题详解】
上文“There’s a reason why so many people love running early in the morning.(很多人喜欢在清晨跑步是有原因的)”提到,很多人喜欢在清晨跑步是有原因的,空处应是接着说明原因,即清晨跑步的好处,A项“它有很大的好处”符合语境,下文“Not only do you begin your day more relaxed and refreshed, but you’ve already started things of with an accomplishment.(这样你不仅能更轻松、更精神地开始新的一天,而且你已经以一种成就感开始了新的一天)”是具体说明清晨跑步的好处,故选A。
【37题详解】
根据上文“It’s also important to remember that this is a process, and you can’t expect to do it perfectly from the beginning.(同样重要的是要记住,这是一个过程,你不能指望从一开始就做到完美)”可知,清晨跑步是一个过程,不会一开始就能做到完美,由此可知,这个过程中会遇到一些挫折、失败等,E项“即使你遭遇了一两次挫折,也要坚持下去”符合语境,与下文“Once you get into the habit, it becomes natural and actually jump starts your day(一旦你养成了跑步的习惯,它就会自然而然地开始你的一天)”衔接自然,跑步过程中遇到挫折也要坚持下去,一旦养成习惯就会自然而然地开始你的一天,故选E。
38题详解】
根据上文“The first few steps or blocks will be tough in the morning.(早上刚开始的几步或几个街区会很艰难)”和下文“‘Sometimes you have to just do it, and remember that the motivation will come later.’ he says.(‘有时候你必须去做,并记住动力会在后面出现。’他说)”可知,本段是说对于Jordan Metzl医生来说获得清晨跑步的动力很困难,F项“不过,他知道获得动力有多难”符合语境,与上文“so early morning runs are a must(所以早上跑步是必须的)”形成转折关系,故选F。
【39题详解】
根据本段小标题“Stay warm(保持暖和)”和下文“If I go to bed in my sports wear, all I need to do is throw on the outer layers and head out the door.(如果我穿着运动服上床睡觉,我所需要做的就是穿上外套,然后出门)”可知,本段是说冬天的穿衣保暖问题,G项“最糟糕的是在寒冷的空气中换衣服,尤其是在冬天”符合语境,故选G。
【40题详解】
根据下文“‘I view waking up early like tearing off a Band-Aid,’ says Michele Gonzalez, a running coach. ‘It’s gonna hurt for a bit.’ Her advice is relatively simple. ‘You just have to set the alarm early and start doing it,’ she says.(跑步教练Michele Gonzalez说:‘我认为早起就像撕掉创可贴一样。’‘会疼一段时间。’她的建议相对简单。她说:‘你只需要早设闹钟,然后开始做。’)”可知,本段是说早起很痛苦,跑步教练Michele Gonzalez建议设定闹钟,然后开始做,C项“与痛苦和平相处”适合作为段落小标题,故选C。

67. 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。
When I was a kid, my parents and I lived near the forest. They often told me that our family was a team that needed to work together for the household to function smoothly. There was always an abundance of work to do — cooking, cleaning, and walking dogs. I volunteered to walk our dog, Max, who had been adopted one month before. I never dared let this giant dog off the lead (牵狗绳), just in case he took off.
One morning, we were walking along in the forest when Max started pulling on the lead. At first, I was able to hold on despite the wet ground from a recent shower. But the more I tried to stop him pulling, the more it turned into a tug of war. And thanks to the slippery ground, I lost.
Pulling his lead Max shot off like a bullet, leaving me screaming behind. I chased him but lost my footing and fell face-first into some mud. I stumbled (踉跄) to my feet, but looking ahead, I found him running back towards me. I thought he was going to stop and give me his “Sorry” look. But instead, the dog shot past me and returned after a while.
As soon as we got home, my mother immediately attended to Max with a warm towel and a doggy treat. I thought seeing me stumbling and covered in mud, I would also get a warm cup of tea and a motherly kiss. Instead, I got a very loud lecture about letting the dog loose in the forest.
I felt frustrated. It wasn’t fair that she didn’t understand how difficult it was to control Max. I fought back, “Stop lecturing me! Why is everything my fault?” With these words, I stormed into my bedroom and slammed the door shut.
In the evening, I heard my mother call Max and take him out. It wasn’t long before I heard my mother screaming and the door opening again.
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。
I walked out of my room.

Dad stepped in, suggesting that we work together to train Max.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】范文
I walked out of my room. Not surprisingly, they were both covered in mud. It was evident that Max had led my mother on another wild chase through the forest. My frustration melted away as I saw my mother’s apologetic expression. “Sweetheart,” my mom said softly, “I’m sorry for scolding you earlier.” After a quick shower, she then shared her own adventure with Max and how he also managed to escape from her grasp, when I served her a warm cup of tea. It seemed we were both at our wits’ end with this dog. (89 words)
Dad stepped in, suggesting that we work together to train Max. We spent the next few days teaching Max basic commands like “sit”, “stay”, and “come back”. It wasn’t easy, but gradually, Max started responding better to us. The instant we tried to stop him pulling, he sat down with eyes looking intently at us. In the process, not only did Max become more obedient, but our family also grew closer. We realized that every member of our team played an important role, and we needed to support each other to ensure everything ran smoothly. (84 words)

The motivation for his invention came to Aarrav Anil last year when he saw his uncle Arjun, who has Parkinson’s disease, struggle to eat. Some food spilled (溢出) out of his mouth, the rest splattered (溅) on his clothes. Arjun attempted to keep his dignity but the frustration forced him to give up and call his helper to feed him.
The sight of his uncle’s shaking the spoon so violently inspired Aarrav, 17, from Bengaluru, south India, to turn to robotics. He locked himself in his room with microcontrollers, sensors, motors, and a 3D printer. What emerged was a prototype (原型) of a smart spoon that is now undergoing trials at the RV College of Physiotherapy in Bengaluru.
The sensors in the battery-operated spoon detect shaking on one side and activate movement on the other, effectively cancelling out shaking to keep the spoon stable.
“I’ve been fine tuning the design based on the college’s feedback-that it needs to be waterproof so that it can be washed without damaging all the electronics inside; that it must be removable so it can be cleaned and replaced by a fork, ” Aarrav says.
For Aarrav it is the peak of a 10-year interest in mechanics that began when his mother bought him a Lego set. He has now represented India at more than 20 robotics competitions across the world.
When the blueprint for the smart spoon won first prize in the future innovators category at last year’s World Robot Olympiad in Germany, Aarrav felt encouraged to make the prototype.
More than 7 million people in India are estimated to have Parkinson’s disease, a condition in which parts of the brain become progressively damaged and which mainly affects people over the age of 50. Symptoms (症状) include involuntary shaking and stiff muscles. As the disease progresses, eating can become more difficult, forcing people to rely on help from others.
Aarrav’s ambition is that every family that has someone with Parkinson’s will have the smart spoon. He says his uncle Arjun’s words keep echoing (回响) in his mind: “Who would have thought such a small thing could mean the difference between dignity and indignity?”
24. What can Aarrav’s invention help people with Parkinson’s do?
A. Control their physical balance. B. Boost their mood and relieve stress.
C. Maintain a good range of movement. D. Feed themselves more independently.
25. What does the underlined part “fine tuning” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Overturning. B. Reconsidering.
C. Conducting a study of. D. Making minor changes to.
26. What is the author’s purpose in mentioning Parkinson’s in India?
A. To show prospects of Aarrav’s invention.
B. To reveal the nation’s poor health situation.
C. To popularize general knowledge of the disease.
D. To convince people to volunteer for social causes.
27. What can be learned about Aarrav from the text?
A. He enjoys being alone. B. He has an innovative mind.
C. He used to be a health worker. D. He longed to be a businessman.

Parrots are prey animals, which means that other predators (捕食者) in the wild, such as hawks or snakes, are looking to make them into a meal. This one factor influences parrots’ behavior in your house more than any other.
Parrots are most easily hurt when feeding on the ground. Membership in a group plays an important function in ensuring their safety and improving their chances of survival from attacks by predators. The most common predators of parrots include hawks, snakes, cats, monkeys, and bats. Some predators make attacks only during the day while others hunt in the night.
As prey animals, parrots are constantly watching out for danger and they instinctively (本能地) react to risks. Their first choice is to take flight. However, if this is not possible, they will fight with their powerful beaks to defend themselves.
Because their biggest enemy is the hawk, parrots are especially reactive to quick movements from above and behind. For this reason, it is wise to avoid quick, sudden movements near your bird. This is a built-in reaction not subject to logic or reason. Simple and relatively harmless household objects can draw extreme fear responses from a bird. For example, a balloon may represent a hawk or a vacuum hose (吸尘器软管) may be the same as a snake in your bird’s mind.
As prey animals, parrots are often frightened by exposure to new household items or strangers. It is important to expose your bird to safe experiences and changes starting at a very young age to build flexibility and improve their adaptability. Variety in diet and toys, travel, and exposure to new people and places all help to make your bird more flexible and adaptable to change.
28. What is important for parrots to better survive from attacks in the wild?
A Living in a group. B. Growing beautiful feathers.
C. Feeding on the ground. D. Avoiding coming out at night.
29. What is parrots’ first response to an immediate risk?
A. To attack back. B. To get away.
C. To protect the young. D. To play dead.
30. Why would a balloon frighten a parrot?
A. It may explode suddenly. B. It may be in a strange shape.
C. It may have a strong color. D. It may move around quickly.
31. What is the author’s purpose of writing the text?
A. To explain wild parrots’ behavior. B. To give advice on raising a parrot.
C. To call for action to protect animals. D. To introduce a study on bird ecology.
D
Students at the Calhoun School in New York City have much more than a roof over their heads. They have a rooftop garden, with lush grass, colorful flowers and fragrant herbs. “Green roofs” are sprouting up all over, from schools to city skyscrapers. And roofs aren’t the only things going green. Architects are finding all sorts of new ways to build buildings that are easier on the environment. These schools, homes, and offices are called “green buildings”.
Normally it takes a lot of energy to run appliances. Too often, that energy comes from burning fossil fuels. So green buildings are designed to do all these things with much less energy. An energy-smart building starts with thick walls. A layer of insulation (隔热材料) traps air to stop heat from passing through. That keeps heat inside in the winter, and keeps heat outside in the summer. This saves energy for heating and cooling.
Heat pumps are another power-saving way to stay comfortable. A ground heat pump moves heat through pipes that run through the ground next to the building. A few feet under the ground, the temperature stays around 10℃ all year round. Water flowing around the pipes helps heat the building in winter and cool it in summer.
Another way to build green is to use recycled materials. That saves the cost and pollution of manufacturing something new. In the Chicago Center for Green Technology, the ceiling tiles (瓷砖) are made of pressed newspaper. The bathroom floors are tiled with recycled glass, and the stall walls are recycled plastic. Builders have found many creative ways to re-use old materials.
As more people become concerned about climate change, more buildings are going green. Green buildings produce less of the gases that warm the planet. City planners like green buildings because they save money. And they are healthier for the people who work and live inside. But you don’t need to build a whole new building. Simple changes like shading windows and planting trees can make any home greener — and a better Earth home for us all.
32. How are green buildings designed to keep warm in the winter?
A. By-burning fossil fuels. B. By using thick walls with insulators.
C. By running heating devices. D. By equipping buildings with appliances.
33. According to the passage, the advantages of green buildings include the following EXCEPT________.
A. saving water B. using recycled materials
C. using less energy D. reducing greenhouse gas emissions
34. In which section of a magazine can we read the text?
A. Education. B. Culture. C. Economy. D. Technology.
35. Which of the following might be the best title for the text?
A. Recycling: to make a better earth for us all
B. Heat Pumps: a new approach to saving energy
C. Green Roofs: more than a roof over our heads
D. Building Green: to hug the earth more kindly

There’s a reason why so many people love running early in the morning. ___36___ Not only do you begin your day more relaxed and refreshed, but you’ve already started things of with an accomplishment. If you think you’re ready to take advantage of the benefits of a morning run, here are five suggestions from the professionals.
●Find a friend, and be gentle with yourself
Finding a partner to run with will give you someone to be responsible for, and make it much harder to blow off the run. It’s also important to remember that this is a process, and you can’t expect to do it perfectly from the beginning. ___37___ “Once you get into the habit, it becomes natural and actually jump starts your day,” says Sheri Piers, top American finisher at the 2012 Boston Marathon.
●Embrace the movement
“The first few steps or blocks will be tough in the morning. They always are,” says Dr. Jordan Metzl, who has over 32 marathon finishes under his belt. With a practice of more than 20, 000 patients, Metzl’s days are jam-packed, so early morning runs are a must. ___38___ “Sometimes you have to just do it, and remember that the motivation will come later.” he says.
●Stay warm
___39___ “If I go to bed in my sports wear, all I need to do is throw on the outer layers and head out the door. At least that takes away some of the inconvenience,” says Tina Muir, a half-marathoner. She also leaves her alarm on the other side of the room to help push herself up.
● ___40___
“I view waking up early like tearing off a Band-Aid,” says Michele Gonzalez, a running coach. “It’s gonna hurt for a bit.” Her advice is relatively simple. “You just have to set the alarm early and start doing it,” she says. “After a few days, you’ll be tired earlier at night and will start going to bed earlier. This makes the early alarm feel a bit more manageable.”
A. It has major benefits.
B Have a training plan.
C. Make peace with the pain.
D. It’s just like warming up a car in the winter.
E. Even if you have a setback or two, keep at it.
F. Still, he knows how hard it can be to get motivated.
G. The worst part is getting changed in the cold air especially in winter.

67. 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。
When I was a kid, my parents and I lived near the forest. They often told me that our family was a team that needed to work together for the household to function smoothly. There was always an abundance of work to do — cooking, cleaning, and walking dogs. I volunteered to walk our dog, Max, who had been adopted one month before. I never dared let this giant dog off the lead (牵狗绳), just in case he took off.
One morning, we were walking along in the forest when Max started pulling on the lead. At first, I was able to hold on despite the wet ground from a recent shower. But the more I tried to stop him pulling, the more it turned into a tug of war. And thanks to the slippery ground, I lost.
Pulling his lead, Max shot off like a bullet, leaving me screaming behind. I chased him but lost my footing and fell face-first into some mud. I stumbled (踉跄) to my feet, but looking ahead, I found him running back towards me. I thought he was going to stop and give me his “Sorry” look. But instead, the dog shot past me and returned after a while.
As soon as we got home, my mother immediately attended to Max with a warm towel and a doggy treat. I thought seeing me stumbling and covered in mud, I would also get a warm cup of tea and a motherly kiss. Instead, I got a very loud lecture about letting the dog loose in the forest.
I felt frustrated. It wasn’t fair that she didn’t understand how difficult it was to control Max. I fought back, “Stop lecturing me! Why is everything my fault?” With these words, I stormed into my bedroom and slammed the door shut.
In the evening, I heard my mother call Max and take him out. It wasn’t long before I heard my mother screaming and the door opening again.
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。
I walked out of my room.

Dad stepped in, suggesting that we work together to train Max.
