Throughout primary school, Cameron Thompson’s best subject was maths. Then, when he was eleven, he took a maths test prior to entering secondary school. The test was out of 140; Cameron scored 141. “I broke the system,” he recalls. Since then, he has continued to progress quickly. He passed two GCSEs (maths and further maths) at the age of eleven and then got the highest grade in his maths A-level before the end of that same academic year. He is now fourteen years old and studying for a degree in maths, a remarkable achievement at his age. But his academic achievements have not always been matched by social success. “I have the social ability of a talking potato,” he admits. In other words, he feels more at ease with numbers than among other teenagers. Communication is not one of Cameron’s strong points and, apart from the problems this causes socially, it is now beginning to affect his marks in mathematics. This is because, at undergraduate level, he is expected to give reasons for his answers together with the answers themselves. Cameron’s difficulty is that he often doesn’t know how he has arrived at the answers, even though the answers are usually correct. Cameron and his family have recently moved house and Cameron is expected to start at a new school. He regards it as a chance to make a fresh start and make some friends. But his mother, Alison, has a few worries concerning his lack of social skills. While she describes Cameron as “very sensitive”, she also accepts the fact that he is socially naive and often unaware of signals from other people. The new school specializes in dealing with students who, like Cameron, are academically excellent but find it difficult to relate to other students. And indeed, on his first day, Cameron did make a new friend — a boy called Tim — mainly because of a shared dislike of Justin Bieber’s music. Recently, a maths professor from Cambridge University has been looking at Cameron’s work. Professor Imre Leader thinks Cameron should slow down, stop taking maths exams, and wait until he is eighteen before doing a degree. “There’s quite an important distinction,” he explains, “between taking lots of exams as fast as you can, and relaxing and enjoying the level that you are at — what we call enrichment.” Professor Leader believes Cameron will do better in the long run if he stops trying to progress so quickly. And although Cameron does want to finish his current degree, he isn’t making any academic plans beyond that. He goes to a weekly karate class and a computer games convention with some friends after school. Since turning fourteen, Cameron’s feelings towards girls have changed. As he puts it, “I started to like them instead of being disgusted by them.” He’s even been on a first date — without his parents. And in general, he feels less isolated and unusual than he did before. “There are other people like me — high maths abilities, bad school lives — I’m not alone. Spooky.” 29. Between the ages of four and ten, Cameron ________. A. showed outstanding ability in maths B. noticed a loss of ambition academically C. did better than other students at various school subjects D. didn’t really fulfill his promise at maths 30. Cameron’s problems with communication ________. A. are getting worse recently B. haven’t affected his popularity at school C. are irrelevant to nus maths grades D. have been affecting his maths ability 31. Cameron met a boy at his new school who ________. A has something in common with him B. is even better at maths C. has even more severe problems with communication D. took a strong dislike to him from the first day 32. Professor Leader thinks Cameron should ________. A. continue with his degree B. have a temporary break from his degree C. give up maths completely for a few years D. try to speed up his progress 【答案】29. A 30. D 31. A 32. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了卡梅隆·汤普森的数学成绩非常优秀，他曾打破学校系统的最高数学成绩，并且在十一岁时获得了两个GCSE考试的最高分。然而，在人际交往和学业上，他面临挑战。他的母亲担心他的社交技能，但他在新学校交到了一个新朋友，并开始享受生活。剑桥大学的一位数学教授建议他放慢脚步，享受充实的生活。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Teachers first noticed Cameron Thompson’s talent for numbers when he was four years old and at pre-school. Throughout primary school, Cameron Thompson’s best subject was maths. ( 老师们第一次注意到卡梅隆·汤普森在数字方面的天赋是在他四岁的时候。在整个小学阶段，卡梅伦·汤普森最擅长的科目是数学。)”可知，在四岁到十岁之间，卡梅伦表现出杰出的数学能力。故选A项。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Communication is not one of Cameron’s strong points and, apart from the problems this causes socially, it is now beginning to affect his marks in mathematics. ( 沟通不是卡梅隆的强项之一，除了在社交方面造成的问题外，现在他的数学成绩也开始受到影响。)”可知，卡梅隆的沟通问题已经影响了他的数学能力。故选D项。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段中“And indeed, on his first day, Cameron did make a new friend — a boy called Tim — mainly because of a shared dislike of Justin Bieber’s music. ( 事实上，在他的第一天，卡梅隆确实交了一个新朋友——一个叫蒂姆的男孩——主要是因为他们都不喜欢贾斯汀·比伯的音乐。)”可知，卡梅隆交了一个新朋友蒂姆，主要是因为他们都不喜欢贾斯汀·比伯的音乐，这表明他们有共同点。故选A项。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“Professor Imre Leader thinks Cameron should slow down, stop taking maths exams, and wait until he is eighteen before doing a degree. ( 伊姆雷·里德教授认为卡梅隆应该放慢脚步，停止参加数学考试，等到18岁再攻读学位。)”可知，里德教授认为卡梅隆应该暂时停止攻读学位。故选B项。 C Green-space facilities are contributing to an important extent to the quality of the urban environment. Fortunately it is no longer necessary that every lecture or every book about this subject has to start with the proof of this idea. At present it is generally accepted, although more a commonly known statement than on the base of a closely-reasoned scientific proof. The recognition of the importance of green-spaces in the urban environment is a first step on the right way. This does not mean, however, that sufficient details are known about the functions of green-space in towns and about the way in which the inhabitants are using theses spaces. As to this rather complex subject, I shall, within the scope of this lecture, enter into one aspect only, namely the recreative function of green space facilities. The theoretical separation of living, working, traffic and recreation (娱乐) which for many years has been used in town-and-country planning, has in my opinion resulted in disproportional (不相称的) attention for forms of recreation far from home, whereas there was relatively little attention for improvement of recreative possibilities in the direct neighborhood of the home. We have come to the conclusion that this is not right, because an important part of the time which we do not pass in sleeping or working, is used for activities at and around home. So it is obvious that recreation in the open air has to begin at the street-door of the house. The urban environment has to offer as many recreation activities as possible, and the design of these has to be such that more obligatory activities can also have a recreative aspect. The very best standard of living is nothing if it is not possible to take a pleasant walk in the district, if the children cannot be allowed to play in the streets, because the risks of traffic are too great, if during shopping you can nowhere find a spot for enjoying for a moment the nice weather, in short, if you only feel yourself at home after the street-door of your house is closed after you. 33. According to the author, the importance of green-space in the urban environment ________. A. is still unknown B. is usually neglected C. is being closely studied D. has been generally recognized 34. The author suggests that the recreative possibilities of green-space should be provided ________. A. in special areas B. in the suburbs C. outside the doorway D. near gardens and parks 35. According to the author, green-space facilities should be designed in such a way that________. A. more obligatory activities might take on a recreative aspect B. more and more people might spend money on them C. the number of activity designers might be increased D. recreative activities might be brought into our homes 36. What is the main idea of the text? A. Better use of green-space facilities should be made so as to improve the quality of our life. B. The urban environment is providing more recreative activities than it did many years ago. C. Attention must be directed to the improvement of recreative possibilities. D. Importance must be attached to the development of obligatory activities. 【答案】33. D 34. C 35. A 36. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了城市绿地设施对生活质量的重要性，强调应在家附近提供更多的休闲活动，以改善城市环境和居民生活。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段的“Green-space facilities are contributing to an important extent to the quality of the urban environment. Fortunately it is no longer necessary that every lecture or every book about this subject has to start with the proof of this idea. At present it is generally accepted, although more a commonly known statement than on the base of a closely-reasoned scientific proof.(绿地设施在很大程度上对城市环境质量做出了贡献。幸运的是，关于这一主题的每一场讲座或每一本书都不必从证明这一观点开始。目前，它被普遍接受，尽管它更像是一个众所周知的陈述，而不是基于严密的科学证明。)”可知，绿色空间在城市环境中的重要性已被普遍认可。故选D。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段的“So it is obvious that recreation in the open air has to begin at the street-door of the house. The urban environment has to offer as many recreation activities as possible, and the design of these has to be such that more obligatory activities can also have a recreative aspect.(所以很明显，户外休闲活动应该从家门外开始。城市环境必须提供尽可能多的休闲活动，而且这些活动的设计应该使更多的必要活动也能具有休闲的性质。)”可知，作者认为休闲的可能性应该在居民家门口附近提供。故选C。 【35题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段的“The urban environment has to offer as many recreation activities as possible, and the design of these has to be such that more obligatory activities can also have a recreative aspect.(城市环境必须提供尽可能多的娱乐活动，这些活动的设计必须使更多的强制性活动也具有娱乐性。)”可知，绿色空间设施的设计应使更多的必需活动具有娱乐性。故选A。 【36题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段的“Green-space facilities are contributing to an important extent to the quality of the urban environment.(绿地设施在很大程度上对城市环境质量做出了贡献。)”以及“As to this rather complex subject, I shall, within the scope of this lecture, enter into one aspect only, namely the recreative function of green space facilities.(对于这个相当复杂的主题，我将在本次讲座的范围内，只谈一个方面，即绿地设施的娱乐功能。)”可知，文章主要介绍了城市绿地设施对生活质量的重要性，强调应在家附近提供更多的休闲活动，以改善城市环境和居民生活。故选A。 D For the rare few born with an insensitivity to pain, their lack of suffering is more than outweighed by the constant danger of injury, simply because they don’t have the pain-sharpened sense to keep out of harm’s way. Pain has an important survival advantage, but only when pain is sending us signals that require action - and these signals can go wrong. Phantom limb (幻肢) pain is very well documented. This is when patients feel pain in amputated limbs (断肢), as their cut-off nerve endings continue to send pain signals to their brains. Today, doctors have great success treating amputees with phantom pain by combining pain relief medication with more advanced treatments, like electrical stimulation (刺激) of the brain and nerve systems. Together this process retrains the nervous systems to stop sending unnecessary signals. Could something similar be offered to able-bodied people suffering chronic (长期的) pain? It is obviously not useful for an amputated limb to hurt, but what if your bad back or knee is sending pain signals for an injury that no longer exists? Pain often starts with an injury, like a broken bone. But in many cases it continues long after the injured part has healed. This means a lot of us could be suffering from a form of phantom pain. And when pain is no longer useful, it is just, well, a pain. Pain is defined as chronic when it stays once the usual process of healing has finished, generally after around three months. Why some people go on to develop chronic pain while others don’t is the biggest question troubling pain specialists. The size of the problem is staggering, with studies saying that around a third of people will experience chronic pain at some stage in their lives. So while pain may be caused by injury or illness at first, chronic pain is now recognised as a condition in its own right, causing a great deal of lost productivity and human suffering. It has long been known that we experience pain subjectively - two people can suffer the same injury and report very different levels of pain. But less well explored is the fact that one person can report very different levels of pain from one day to the next, or even one minute to the next. The fact that someone’s back may hurt one minute and not hurt the next tells us something important about pain. If it was simply reporting an injury, the pain would be more consistent (一致). But pain can be traced to a mix of biological, psychological and social factors. Put simply, pain is felt very differently according to what else is going on in a person’s life. You may have knee pain, for example, but if you are also experiencing emotional difficulty and social isolation, this is likely to have an amplifying (放大) effect on the pain levels that you feel. Armed with this knowledge, it is possible to start approaching pain with a different mindset. 37. What causes phantom limb pain? A. Insensitivity of the body. B. Possible danger of injury. C. Lack of pain-sharpened sense. D. Wrong signals from nerve endings. 38. What does the underlined word “staggering” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Reasonable. B. Predictable. C. Decreasing. D. Shocking. 39. Why does the author mention knee pain in the last paragraph? A. To provide a treatment for knee pain. B. To show the consistency feature of pain. C. To explain the subjectivity of pain levels. D. To compare it with other types of injuries. 40. What will the text most probably talk about next? A. A different study of phantom pain. B. A new approach to phantom pain. C. A strange phantom pain patient. D. Another cause of phantom pain. 【答案】37. D 38. D 39. C 40. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了关于疼痛相关的知识。 【37题详解】 细节理解题。第二段提到“as their cut-off nerve endings continue to send pain signals to their brains (因为他们被切断的神经末梢继续向他们的大脑发送疼痛信号。)”可知，幻肢痛是由于断裂的神经末梢继续向大脑发送错误的疼痛信号造成的。故选D。   【38题详解】 词句猜测题。划线词后文提到“with studies saying that around a third of people will experience chronic pain at some stage in their lives. (大约三分之一的人在生活的某个阶段会经历慢性疼痛)”由此判断，有三分之一的都有慢性疼痛的困扰，说明问题的规模是“惊人的”。A. Reasonable.合理的；B. Predictable.可预测的；C. Decreasing.减少的；D. Shocking.惊人的。D项符合文意。故选D。 【39题详解】 推理判断题。最后一段提到“Put simply, pain is felt very differently according to what else is going on in a person’s life. (简单地说，根据一个人生活中发生的其他事情，对疼痛的感受是非常不同的。)”由此判断，文中提到膝盖疼痛是为了说明疼痛的主观性，疼痛感受因人而异，并且受到心理和社会因素的影响。故选C。   【40题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Armed with this knowledge, it is possible to start approaching pain with a different mindset. (有了这些知识，就有可能开始用不同的心态来对待疼痛。)”可知，接下来可能会讨论一种新的处理疼痛的方法。故选B。 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。 On August 24,79 AD, Mount Vesuvius erupted, burying the ancient cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum. According to most modern accounts, the story pretty much ends there: both cities were wiped out, their people frozen in time. ___41___ The story of the eruption of Mount Vesuvius is no longer one about destruction alone; it also includes the stories of those who survived the eruption and went on to rebuild their lives. My archaeological fieldwork in the past decade has found evidence of over 200 survivors in 12 cities. These cities are primarily in the general area of Pompeii. ___42___ They preferred to settle with other survivors, and they relied on social and economic networks from their original cities as they resettled. Some of the families that escaped apparently went on to thrive in their new communities. ___43___ There, they founded a temple to the Egyptian God Serapis. ___44___ Some had already been poor to begin with. Others seemed to have lost their family wealth, perhaps in the eruption itself. The Masuri family from Pompeii survived and settled in a small, poorer community called Nuceria. They took in a boy named Avianius Felicio as a foster son (养子). It’s likely that Felicio didn’t have any surviving family members. ___45___ They didn’t just take care of each other; they also donated to the religious and civic organizations of their new homes. A. But recent research has changed the narrative. B. But they tended to be outside the zone of the greatest destruction. C. This example shows how generous migrants were towards other survivors. D. It seems as though most survivors stayed as close as they could to Pompeii. E. Not all survivors were rich or went on to find success in their new communities. F. The Caltilius family resettled in Ostia, a major port city 30 kilometres from Rome. G. Many families went on to open their own businesses and hold positions in local governments. 【答案】41. A 42. D 43. F 44. E 45. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了公元79年维苏威火山爆发及其对周边城市的影响，特别是关于幸存者的故事和他们在灾后重建生活的情况。 【41题详解】 根据空前内容“According to most modern accounts, the story pretty much ends there: both cities were wiped out, their people frozen in time.(根据大多数现代的说法，故事基本上就到此结束了：两座城市都被摧毁了，它们的人民被时间冻结了)”可知，大多数现代的说法是两座城市都被摧毁了。而空后“The story of the eruption of Mount Vesuvius is no longer one about destruction alone; it also includes the stories of those who survived the eruption and went on to rebuild their lives.(维苏威火山爆发的故事不再仅仅是关于毁灭的；它还包括那些在火山爆发中幸存下来并继续重建生活的人的故事)”和上文存在转折，指出情况并非如此。选项A“But recent research has changed the narrative.(但最近的研究改变了这种说法)”承上启下，承接上文内容引出下文情况并非如此，在火山爆发中幸存下来的人继续重建生活的故事。故选A。 【42题详解】 根据空前内容“My archaeological fieldwork in the past decade has found evidence of over 200 survivors in 12 cities. These cities are primarily in the general area of Pompeii.(在过去的十年里，我的考古实地工作在12个城市发现了200多名幸存者的证据。这些城市主要在庞贝的一般地区)”可知，作者在庞贝的一般地区发现了200多名幸存者生活过的证据。再根据空后“They preferred to settle with other survivors, and they relied on social and economic networks from their original cities as they resettled.(他们更喜欢与其他幸存者一起定居，并依赖原来城市的社会和经济网络)”可推测，这些幸存者可能并没有远离庞贝城。选项D“It seems as though most survivors stayed as close as they could to Pompeii.(似乎大多数幸存者都尽可能地靠近庞贝城定居)”符合语境，它进一步解释了这些幸存者的定居偏好。故选D。 【43题详解】 根据空前内容“Some of the families that escaped apparently went on to thrive in their new communities.(一些逃脱的家庭显然在他们的新社区中继续茁壮成长)”可知，一些脱困的家庭在新社区中繁荣发展。而空后“There, they founded a temple to the Egyptian God Serapis.(在那里，他们为埃及的塞拉皮斯神建造了一座神庙)”则提到他们在那里建立了一座供奉埃及神塞拉皮斯的寺庙。因此，空白处应该填入一个具体的例子，说明这些家庭在新社区中的活动。选项F“The Caltilius family resettled in Ostia, a major port city 30 kilometres from Rome.( Caltilius家族定居在距离罗马30公里的奥斯提亚，这是一个主要港口城市)”符合语境，它提供了一个具体的例子，说明有些家庭在新社区中不仅生存下来，还进行了宗教建设。故选F。 【44题详解】 上文提到一些家庭在新社区发展的不错。而空后“Some had already been poor to begin with. Others seemed to have lost their family wealth, perhaps in the eruption itself.(有些人一开始就很穷。其他人似乎失去了他们的家庭财富，也许是在火山爆发本身)”则讲述有些人还是很穷。选项E“Not all survivors were rich or went on to find success in their new communities.(并非所有幸存者都富有或在新社区取得成功)”符合语境，它起到了承上启下的作用，从之前对成功家庭的描述转向了对经济状况较差家庭的讨论。故选E。 【45题详解】 根据空前内容“The Masuri family from Pompeii survived and settled in a small, poorer community called Nuceria. They took in a boy named Avianius Felicio as a foster son (养子). It’s likely that Felicio didn’t have any surviving family members.( Masuri家族幸存下来，并定居在一个名为Nuceria的小而贫穷的社区。他们收养了一个名叫Avianius Felicio的男孩作为养子。Felicio很可能没有任何在世的家庭成员)”可知，上文提到了来自庞贝的Masuri家族幸存下来，并在一个较小、较贫穷的社区定居，还收养了一个养子。空后“They didn’t just take care of each other; they also donated to the religious and civic organizations of their new homes(他们不仅互相照顾；他们还向宗教和民间组织捐赠了他们的新家)”提到他们不仅互相关心，还向新家的宗教和民间组织捐款。由此可推测，空白处应该填入一个进一步说明这个家庭在新社区中行为的句子。选项C“This example shows how generous migrants were towards other survivors.(这个例子说明了移民对其他幸存者的慷慨)” 符合语境，它总结了Masuri家族的行为，并与后文的内容相衔接，强调了幸存者对彼此的慷慨和支持。故选C。 第二卷 (75分) 四、听力 (共10题；每小题1分，满分10分) An American scientist has started a tempest in a teapot by offering Britain advice on its favorite drink: tea. Tempest in a teapot is an expression to describe a strong, noisy, and angry 46 over something small or unimportant. Michelle Francl is a chemistry 47 at Bryn Mawr College, outside of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. She said tea drinkers should add a little salt to make a perfect cup of tea. That advice is 48 in her book Steeped: The Chemistry of Tea. The book was published 49 by the Royal Society of Chemistry. Mixing tea with salt water has never gone well for British-American 50 In 1773, American colonists in Boston, Massachusetts, were angry at Britain for adding more taxes to raise money. So they dumped British tea into the sea. The event became known as the Boston Tea Party. It 51 to the start of the American Revolution. Francl’s suggestion caused outrage (愤怒) among tea lovers in Britain. They see Americans as coffee drinkers who know nothing about tea. And they think if Americans drink tea at all they just heat water in a microwave. “Don’t even say the word ‘salt’ to us...” said the etiquette (礼仪) guide Debrett’s on the social media service X, 52 known as Twitter. Even the U.S. Embasgy in London joined the tempest in a teapot. In a social media post, it 53 the good people of the U.K. [United Kingdom] that the unthinkable notion of adding salt to Britain’s national drink is not official United States policy.” “Let us unite in our steeped solidarity (团结) and show the world that when it comes to tea, we stand as one,” the embassy said in the post. “The U.S. Embassy will continue to make tea in the 54 way—by microwaving it,” it added. The embassy later said that the post was “a lighthearted play on our shared 55 connections” rather than an official press release. 五、首字母填空 (共20题；每小题1分，满分20分) 请根据句意和首字母提示，填入必修第一册所学单词。 46.

B Teachers first noticed Cameron Thompson’s talent for numbers when he was four years old and at pre-school. Throughout primary school, Cameron Thompson’s best subject was maths. Then, when he was eleven, he took a maths test prior to entering secondary school. The test was out of 140; Cameron scored 141. “I broke the system,” he recalls. Since then, he has continued to progress quickly. He passed two GCSEs (maths and further maths) at the age of eleven and then got the highest grade in his maths A-level before the end of that same academic year. He is now fourteen years old and studying for a degree in maths, a remarkable achievement at his age. But his academic achievements have not always been matched by social success. “I have the social ability of a talking potato,” he admits. In other words, he feels more at ease with numbers than among other teenagers. Communication is not one of Cameron’s strong points and, apart from the problems this causes socially, it is now beginning to affect his marks in mathematics. This is because, at undergraduate level, he is expected to give reasons for his answers together with the answers themselves. Cameron’s difficulty is that he often doesn’t know how he has arrived at the answers, even though the answers are usually correct. Cameron and his family have recently moved house and Cameron is expected to start at a new school. He regards it as a chance to make a fresh start and make some friends. But his mother, Alison, has a few worries concerning his lack of social skills. While she describes Cameron as “very sensitive”, she also accepts the fact that he is socially naive and often unaware of signals from other people. The new school specializes in dealing with students who, like Cameron, are academically excellent but find it difficult to relate to other students. And indeed, on his first day, Cameron did make a new friend — a boy called Tim — mainly because of a shared dislike of Justin Bieber’s music. Recently, a maths professor from Cambridge University has been looking at Cameron’s work. Professor Imre Leader thinks Cameron should slow down, stop taking maths exams, and wait until he is eighteen before doing a degree. “There’s quite an important distinction,” he explains, “between taking lots of exams as fast as you can, and relaxing and enjoying the level that you are at — what we call enrichment.” Professor Leader believes Cameron will do better in the long run if he stops trying to progress so quickly. And although Cameron does want to finish his current degree, he isn’t making any academic plans beyond that. He goes to a weekly karate class and a computer games convention with some friends after school. Since turning fourteen, Cameron’s feelings towards girls have changed. As he puts it, “I started to like them instead of being disgusted by them.” He’s even been on a first date — without his parents. And in general, he feels less isolated and unusual than he did before. “There are other people like me — high maths abilities, bad school lives — I’m not alone. Spooky.” 29. Between the ages of four and ten, Cameron ________. A. showed outstanding ability in maths B. noticed a loss of ambition academically C. did better than other students at various school subjects D. didn’t really fulfill his promise at maths 30. Cameron’s problems with communication ________. A. are getting worse recently B. haven’t affected his popularity at school C. are irrelevant to nus maths grades D. have been affecting his maths ability 31. Cameron met a boy at his new school who ________. A. has something in common with him B. is even better at maths C. has even more severe problems with communication D. took a strong dislike to him from the first day 32. Professor Leader thinks Cameron should ________. A. continue with his degree B. have a temporary break from his degree C. give up maths completely for a few years D. try to speed up his progress C Green-space facilities are contributing to an important extent to the quality of the urban environment. Fortunately it is no longer necessary that every lecture or every book about this subject has to start with the proof of this idea. At present it is generally accepted, although more a commonly known statement than on the base of a closely-reasoned scientific proof. The recognition of the importance of green-spaces in the urban environment is a first step on the right way. This does not mean, however, that sufficient details are known about the functions of green-space in towns and about the way in which the inhabitants are using theses spaces. As to this rather complex subject, I shall, within the scope of this lecture, enter into one aspect only, namely the recreative function of green space facilities. The theoretical separation of living, working, traffic and recreation (娱乐) which for many years has been used in town-and-country planning, has in my opinion resulted in disproportional (不相称的) attention for forms of recreation far from home, whereas there was relatively little attention for improvement of recreative possibilities in the direct neighborhood of the home. We have come to the conclusion that this is not right, because an important part of the time which we do not pass in sleeping or working, is used for activities at and around home. So it is obvious that recreation in the open air has to begin at the street-door of the house. The urban environment has to offer as many recreation activities as possible, and the design of these has to be such that more obligatory activities can also have a recreative aspect. The very best standard of living is nothing if it is not possible to take a pleasant walk in the district if the children cannot be allowed to play in the streets, because the risks of traffic are too great, if during shopping you can nowhere find a spot for enjoying for a moment the nice weather, in short, if you only feel yourself at home after the street-door of your house is closed after you. 33. According to the author, the importance of green-space in the urban environment ________. A. is still unknown B. is usually neglected C. is being closely studied D. has been generally recognized 34. The author suggests that the recreative possibilities of green-space should be provided ________. A. in special areas B. in the suburbs C. outside the doorway D. near gardens and parks 35. According to the author, green-space facilities should be designed in such a way that________. A. more obligatory activities might take on a recreative aspect B. more and more people might spend money on them C. the number of activity designers might be increased D. recreative activities might be brought into our homes 36. What is the main idea of the text? A. Better use of green-space facilities should be made so as to improve the quality of our life. B. The urban environment is providing more recreative activities than it did many years ago. C. Attention must be directed to the improvement of recreative possibilities. D. Importance must be attached to the development of obligatory activities. D For the rare few born with an insensitivity to pain, their lack of suffering is more than outweighed by the constant danger of injury, simply because they don’t have the pain-sharpened sense to keep out of harm’s way. Pain has an important survival advantage, but only when pain is sending us signals that require action - and these signals can go wrong. Phantom limb (幻肢) pain is very well documented. This is when patients feel pain in amputated limbs (断肢), as their cut-off nerve endings continue to send pain signals to their brains. Today, doctors have great success treating amputees with phantom pain by combining pain relief medication with more advanced treatments, like electrical stimulation (刺激) of the brain and nerve systems. Together this process retrains the nervous systems to stop sending unnecessary signals. Could something similar be offered to able-bodied people suffering chronic (长期的) pain? It is obviously not useful for an amputated limb to hurt, but what if your bad back or knee is sending pain signals for an injury that no longer exists? Pain often starts with an injury, like a broken bone. But in many cases it continues long after the injured part has healed. This means a lot of us could be suffering from a form of phantom pain. And when pain is no longer useful, it is just, well, a pain. Pain is defined as chronic when it stays once the usual process of healing has finished, generally after around three months. Why some people go on to develop chronic pain while others don’t is the biggest question troubling pain specialists. The size of the problem is staggering, with studies saying that around a third of people will experience chronic pain at some stage in their lives. So while pain may be caused by injury or illness at first, chronic pain is now recognised as a condition in its own right, causing a great deal of lost productivity and human suffering. It has long been known that we experience pain subjectively - two people can suffer the same injury and report very different levels of pain. But less well explored is the fact that one person can report very different levels of pain from one day to the next, or even one minute to the next. The fact that someone’s back may hurt one minute and not hurt the next tells us something important about pain. If it was simply reporting an injury, the pain would be more consistent (一致). But pain can be traced to a mix of biological, psychological and social factors. Put simply, pain is felt very differently according to what else is going on in a person’s life. You may have knee pain, for example, but if you are also experiencing emotional difficulty and social isolation, this is likely to have an amplifying (放大) effect on the pain levels that you feel. Armed with this knowledge, it is possible to start approaching pain with a different mindset. 37 What causes phantom limb pain? A. Insensitivity of the body. B. Possible danger of injury. C. Lack of pain-sharpened sense. D. Wrong signals from nerve endings. 38. What does the underlined word “staggering” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Reasonable. B. Predictable. C. Decreasing. D. Shocking. 39. Why does the author mention knee pain in the last paragraph? A. To provide a treatment for knee pain. B. To show the consistency feature of pain. C. To explain the subjectivity of pain levels. D. To compare it with other types of injuries. 40. What will the text most probably talk about next? A. A different study of phantom pain. B. A new approach to phantom pain. C. A strange phantom pain patient. D. Another cause of phantom pain. 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。 On August 24,79 AD, Mount Vesuvius erupted, burying the ancient cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum. According to most modern accounts, the story pretty much ends there: both cities were wiped out, their people frozen in time. ___41___ The story of the eruption of Mount Vesuvius is no longer one about destruction alone; it also includes the stories of those who survived the eruption and went on to rebuild their lives. My archaeological fieldwork in the past decade has found evidence of over 200 survivors in 12 cities. These cities are primarily in the general area of Pompeii. ___42___ They preferred to settle with other survivors, and they relied on social and economic networks from their original cities as they resettled. Some of the families that escaped apparently went on to thrive in their new communities. ___43___ There, they founded a temple to the Egyptian God Serapis. ___44___ Some had already been poor to begin with. Others seemed to have lost their family wealth, perhaps in the eruption itself. The Masuri family from Pompeii survived and settled in a small, poorer community called Nuceria. They took in a boy named Avianius Felicio as a foster son (养子). It’s likely that Felicio didn’t have any surviving family members. ___45___ They didn’t just take care of each other; they also donated to the religious and civic organizations of their new homes. A. But recent research has changed the narrative. B. But they tended to be outside the zone of the greatest destruction. C. This example shows how generous migrants were towards other survivors. D. It seems as though most survivors stayed as close as they could to Pompeii. E. Not all survivors were rich or went on to find success in their new communities. F. The Caltilius family resettled in Ostia, a major port city 30 kilometres from Rome. G. Many families went on to open their own businesses and hold positions in local governments. 第二卷 (75分) 四、听力 (共10题；每小题1分，满分10分) An American scientist has started a tempest in a teapot by offering Britain advice on its favorite drink: tea. Tempest in a teapot is an expression to describe a strong, noisy, and angry 46 over something small or unimportant. Michelle Francl is a chemistry 47 at Bryn Mawr College, outside of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. She said tea drinkers should add a little salt to make a perfect cup of tea. That advice is 48 in her book Steeped: The Chemistry of Tea. The book was published 49 by the Royal Society of Chemistry. Mixing tea with salt water has never gone well for British-American 50 In 1773, American colonists in Boston, Massachusetts, were angry at Britain for adding more taxes to raise money. So they dumped British tea into the sea. The event became known as the Boston Tea Party. It 51 to the start of the American Revolution. Francl’s suggestion caused outrage (愤怒) among tea lovers in Britain. They see Americans as coffee drinkers who know nothing about tea. And they think if Americans drink tea at all, they just heat water in a microwave. “Don’t even say the word ‘salt’ to us...” said the etiquette (礼仪) guide Debrett’s on the social media service X, 52 known as Twitter. Even the U.S. Embasgy in London joined the tempest in a teapot. In a social media post, it 53 the good people of the U.K. [United Kingdom] that the unthinkable notion of adding salt to Britain’s national drink is not official United States policy.” “Let us unite in our steeped solidarity (团结) and show the world that when it comes to tea, we stand as one,” the embassy said in the post. “The U.S. Embassy will continue to make tea in the 54 way—by microwaving it,” it added. The embassy later said that the post was “a lighthearted play on our shared 55 connections” rather than an official press release. 五、首字母填空 (共20题；每小题1分，满分20分) 请根据句意和首字母提示，填入必修第一册所学单词。 46.
