They should take some food for lunch. C. They need to wear T-shirts and shorts. D. They have to be experienced in woodworking. B Some of the classrooms at Taft Elementary in Santa Clara, California, have one disadvantage in common: They don’t have windows. That’s true for Logan Earnest’s fifth grade classroom, and he felt it was affecting his students. “Most of the day, they’re inside,” Earnest told CBS News. “And they don’t really get to see any trees, grass, or the blue sky.” He said the gray walls could be depressing to the kids and may affect their attention and even their attendance. This was confirmed by former school psychologist Ernesto Rodriguez, who said the lack of windows does affect kids, because research shows being in and around nature eases anxiety and benefits students. Though no longer a practicing psychologist, perhaps he knows now more than ever the impact nature has on mental health. Rodriguez became a park ranger (公园管理员) on Southern California’s Catalina Island and began focusing on his passion—landscape photography. It was during his training to become a park ranger that he learned a fact that kids who have views out windows to trees do better academically, emotionally and creatively. So an idea to bring nature into rooms occurred to him: Why not bring landscapes in classrooms—via the ceiling (天花板), because teachers don’t typically use them. Rodriguez took 360 degree shots of tree canopies (树冠) using his photography skills, then he printed them and fit them onto the classroom ceiling of Earnest’s fifth grade. “Beautiful,”one student said as she entered the room. Another student said the trees brought him peace, “When you look up, it feels like you’re sitting under a tree.” Earnest said he thought there would be many positive effects on his students. “I think my attendance is going to go up. The kids are going to want to come here more frequently. Overall, I think the kids are going to be happier,” he said. 4. What is the common challenge shared by some classrooms at Taft Elementary? A. Lack of fresh air. B. Absence of windows. C. Insufficient lighting. D. Limited access to technology. 5. Why did Ernesto Rodriguez bring landscapes into classrooms? A. To connect the students with nature. B. To promote his photography skills. C. To improve the teachers’ performance. D. To create an exciting environment for the students. 6. How did the students react to Rodriguez’s pictures on the classroom ceiling? A. They did not notice the change. B. They failed to concentrate on lessons. C. They preferred the original gray ceiling. D. They were in favour of the new additions. 7. What’s Logan Earnest’s attitude towards the change in the classroom? A. Cautious and objective. B. Appreciative and supportive. C. Concerned but doubtful. D. Curious but unsure. C Elephants’ important role in maintaining biodiversity and healthy ecosystems has earned them various names including ecosystem engineers and forest gardeners. However, African forest elephants — a species living in the rainforests of central Africa — are increasingly recognized by another name: “climate heroes”. African forest elephants help lessen climate change by increasing carbon storage in their forest habitats, meaning they help remove heat-trapping CO2 from the atmosphere. They do this by influencing the forest structure, including by increasing the diversity and abundance of plant species. It’s estimated that one forest elephant can increase the net carbon capture (捕获) capacity of the forest by almost 250 acres. This is equal to removing from the atmosphere a year’s worth of emissions (排放量) from 2,047 cars. “As strange as it seems, all that eating and destruction help the forest pull more carbon out of the air,” says Alison Pearce Stevens in the book Animal Climate Heroes! . Elephants eat more than 400 pounds of food a day, so they spend a lot of time searching for food. As they walk through the forest, they do a lot of damage to the surrounding smaller trees, leading to the survival of trees that have the ability to absorb and store more CO2. In addition their thirst for fruits also helps to promote forest growth. This is because elephants disperse fruit seeds. In other words, the seeds pass through the elephant bodies until they drop back to the forest floor. But African forest elephants are seriously endangered and continue to face threats. These mainly come from hunting for the illegal international trade in elephant ivory (象牙), but also from habitat loss and fewer food sources. The number of forest elephants fell by more than 86% over a period of 31 years, and their habitats are thought to have reduced by 75%. Protecting forest elephants and the forests they depend on means we are safeguarding their ecological contributions that we all rely on. 8. How do African forest elephants help relieve climate change? A. They increase the diversity of wildlife species. B. They help to maintain the plants of the forest. C. They take in heat-trapping CO2 from the atmosphere. D. They promote the net carbon capture ability of the forest. 9. What does the underlined word “disperse” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Consume. B. Preserve. C. Spread. D. Gather. 10. What are the threats facing African forest elephants? A. Illegal hunting and habitat loss. B. The disturbed balance of the forest ecosystem. C Natural disasters resulting from climate change. D. Competition for water sources with other animals. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Preserving Forests: Elephants’ Contribution B. New Role of African Forest Elephants: Climate Heroes C. Ivory Trade Threatens African Forest Elephants D. Forest Elephants Are Approaching the Edge of Extinction D Staying in hospital can be difficult for patients, often causing fear and anxiety, especially in younger individuals. These emotions can easily take over, but hospitals in Richmond, Virginia, have programs to relieve some of the stress and create moments of joy. Due to a program called Dogs On Call provided by the non-profit organization Center for Human-Animal Interaction, at the Children’s Hospital of Richmond, the sound of dogs coming down the hallway creates an atmosphere of excitement among child patients. For 21 years, the volunteer-run program has been connecting dogs with those in need of an inspiring moment. With the necessary registration steps, dogs and handlers can participate in weekly visits to the hospital. Besides the scheduled visits, parents or children can request a specific team to visit their rooms. “When a patient interacts with a dog, it can decrease blood pressure and reduce pain,” says Nancy R. Gee, executive director of the center. Their faces change just for a moment. They’re not thinking about their health situation or their pain. Just for that moment, they’re just kids with a dog. Instead of Dogs On Call, Bon Secours St. Mary’s Hospital of Richmond provides Happy Wheels, a program in which a cart full of treats and other items rolling through the halls of the hospital. The volunteer-run program visits four times a week. They go from room to room to hand out toys, coffee, snacks, and other comfort items. All of the items found in the cart are donated to the program and handed out to families in all children’s care units. “It’s an opportunity for the children to be children and to get excited about a new toy coming in their rooms ”says Laura Gepford, child life specialist at St. Mary’s Hospital. “Besides the fevers, the medicine and all the difficult things that occur in the hospital, they have the shining of happy moments. That’s what people hold onto. ” 12. What do we know about the program Dogs On Call? A. Dogs might frighten the child patients. B. Dog visits must follow a fixed schedule. C. It gives mental treatment to the child patients. D. It is financially supported by the government. 13. What does Nancy R Gee mean in paragraph 4? A. Children care for dogs by nature. B. Children’s moods are changeable. C. Children are too young to take their illness seriously. D. Children’s spirits are lifted by the dogs’ companion. 14. What is Laura Gepford’s attitude to the Happy Wheels program? A. Concerned. B. Appreciative. C. Dissatisfied. D. Doubtful. 15. How do the two programs in the text help? A. By bringing patients comfort and cheer. B. By changing people’s attitude to illness. C. By telling people the importance of play. D. By guiding parents to better comfort kids. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Some people can begin a conversation with anyone ——even complete strangers. _____16_____.

Arthur’s best friend was Kyle. If you couldn’t find Arthur, all you had to do was look for Kyle. A few years ago, Arthur’s father was a successful businessman. But things went very wrong when his dad’s business failed. The two boys met when Arthur had to leave his expensive private school, which his family could no longer afford, and go to a public school. Arthur’s mom worked at the local bakery (面包烘房) and brought home boxes of baked goods. Just like Arthur’s, Kyle’s family struggled. They lived on a farm where they could not work any longer because Kyle’s dad was too sick, and his grandmother was too old. Kyle’s mom worked in the laundry (洗衣店) and still managed to grow vegetables for the family. The two families helped each other. Arthur gave Kyle’s family the extra delicious baked goods, and Kyle’s mom gave him baskets of carrots, potatoes, tomatoes, and fruit from the farm. Things took a turn for the worse when Kyle’s 84-year-old grandmother was seriously ill and had to go to the hospital. Kyle and his family were understandably upset, but worse of all were the hospital bills. Fortunately, she survived. One afternoon, Arthur found poor Kyle in tears. “What’s the matter, Kyle?” he asked. His friend wiped his tears. “Nothing, nothing at all!” he said. Arthur had his doubts, but he didn’t press Kyle. “Well, then,” he said. “I have good news for you! My Aunt sent me $50, and my mom said I could spend it on anything I wanted!” “WOW! Does that mean, ...” Arthur smiled. “YES!” he shouted. “That means I’m buying the robot!” “When are you going to buy it?” “Maybe this weekend,” Arthur said. “Now, how about you tell me what’s wrong?” “Grandma is turning eighty-five next week, and I wanted to get her a new album (相册) for the old family photos.

(正是在他接受公园护林员培训的过程中，他了解到一个事实，即那些能看到窗外树木的孩子在学业、情感和创造力方面都做得更好)”可知，Emesto Rodriguez 将风景“带进”教室是为了将学生和自然联系在一起。接触大自然对孩子们的身心健康有益。故选A。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。文章第五段中““Beautiful,”one student said as she entered the room.

B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了非洲森林象有助于提升森林的碳捕获能力减缓气候变化被称作“气候英雄”，以及它们面临的威胁。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。文章第二段讲到“It’s estimated that one forest elephant can increase the net carbon capture (捕获) capacity of the forest by almost 250 acres. (据估计，一头森林大象可以使森林的净碳捕获能力增加近250英亩。)”可知，非洲森林象通过提高森林的碳捕获能力来帮助减缓气候变化。故选D。 【9题详解】 词义猜测题。根据划线词的上文“In addition, their thirst for fruits also helps to promote forest growth. (此外，它们对水果的渴望也有助于促进森林的生长)”以及下文“In other words, the seeds pass through the elephant bodies until they drop back to the forest floor.( 换句话说，种子穿过大象的身体，直到它们掉回森林地面)”可知，大象喜欢吃水果，而水果的种子通过大象的排泄从大象体内回到森林地面，这帮助散播了水果种子，有助于促进森林的生长。故disperse 同spread “传播”意思相近。故选C。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。文章最后一段中“These mainly come from hunting for the illegal international trade in elephant ivory (象牙), but also from habitat loss and fewer food sources. The number of forest elephants fell by more than 86% over a period of 31 years, and their habitats are thought to have reduced by 75%. (这些主要来自对象牙非法国际贸易的狩猎，也来自栖息地的丧失和食物来源的减少。在31年的时间里，森林大象的数量减少了86%以上，它们的栖息地被认为减少了75%)”可知，非洲森林象面临的主要威胁是非法狩猎、栖息地丧失和食物来源减少。故选A。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据文章第一段“Elephants’ important role in maintaining biodiversity and healthy ecosystems has earned them various names including ecosystem engineers and forest gardeners. However, African forest elephants — a species living in the rainforests of central Africa — are increasingly recognized by another name: “climate heroes”. (大象在维持生物多样性和健康生态系统方面的重要作用为它们赢得了各种各样的名字，包括生态系统工程师和森林园丁。然而，非洲森林象——一种生活在中非热带雨林中的物种——越来越多地被另一个名字所认可：‘气候英雄’。)”可知，本文主要讲述了非洲森林象如何通过增加森林的碳捕获能力来缓解气候变化，被称作“气候英雄”，以及非洲森林象所面临的威胁；因此，最适合的标题是B选项“非洲森林象的新角色：气候英雄”，故选B。 D Staying in hospital can be difficult for patients, often causing fear and anxiety, especially in younger individuals.

This can be particularly stressful if you have social anxiety disorder (SAD). But even if social small talk is hard for you, possibilities exist to improve your conversational skills and make you feel more comfortable talking with strangers. ___17___. A great way to start a conversation with the people around you is to simply comment on your shared surroundings. _____18_____. For example, if you are sitting in a lecture hall and notice that your professor looks familiar, you could say to the person next to you, “Doesn’t he look a bit like Harry Potter?” Keep your comments positive——never mean-spirited or critical. You want the other person to feel comfortable getting in on the joke with you. You could follow up on your previous comment about your professor with something like, “I wonder where Hedwig is?” ____19____, which means using this method to start a conversation can be risky. However, if you do find someone who shares your sense of humor, it can be the start of a great friendship. If you don’t receive a positive response from one person, the method might work with someone else. ____20____. With time, you’ll become more confident and won’t need to rely on tricks to get a conversation started and keep it going. A. A little humor works great here B. Here are some ways to help you C. A good conversation really matters a lot D. But many others find it difficult to talk to a stranger E. Humor is difficult with someone you don’t know well F.

E 20. F 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。介绍在人际交往过程当中如何有效地开启对话并给出一些具体的做法。 【16题详解】 由上文“Some people can begin a conversation with anyone ——even complete strangers.(有些人可以和任何人——甚至是完全陌生的人——开始对话。)”可知，这里主要讲一些人非常健谈，而D项“But many others find it difficult to talk to a stranger(但许多其他人发现很难与陌生人交谈)”和前一句构成逻辑上的对比关系，同时又引出下文“This can be particularly stressful if you have social anxiety disorder (SAD).（如果你患有社交焦虑症(SAD)，这可能会特别有压力。）”。故选D项。 【17题详解】 由上文“But even if social small talk is hard for you, possibilities exist to improve your conversational skills and make you feel more comfortable talking with strangers. (但是，即使社交闲聊对你来说很难，也有可能提高你的对话技巧，让你在与陌生人交谈时感到更自在。)”可知，这里主要讲你可以去提升你的对话技能。而B项“Here are some ways to help you(这里有一些方法可以帮助你)”符合语境，起到“承上启下，总领下文”的功能。故选B项。 【18题详解】 由下文“For example, if you are sitting in a lecture hall and notice that your professor looks familiar, you could say to the person next to you, ‘Doesn’t he look a bit like Harry Potter?’(例如，如果你坐在演讲厅里，注意到你的教授看起来很熟悉，你可以对旁边的人说，‘他看起来有点像哈利·波特吗？’)”可知，这里主要举例说明在交谈中使用幽默的作用。而A项“A little humor works great here(一点幽默在这种情形下很有用)”符合语境，和空后所举的例子之间形成明显的例证关系。故选A项。 【19题详解】 由下文“However, if you do find someone who shares your sense of humor, it can be the start of a great friendship.(然而，如果你真的找到了一个和你有幽默感的人，这可能是一段伟大友谊的开始。)”以及其中however表转折可知，前一句应讲述一些不能和你分享幽默的人，所以E项“Humor is difficult with someone you don’t know well(和一个你不太了解的人在一起很难幽默)”符合语境，和下句形成对比。故选E项。 【20题详解】 由上文“If you don’t receive a positive response from one person, the method might work with someone else. (如果你没有收到一个人的积极回应，这种方法可能会适用于其他人。)”可知，这里主要表达的意识是，不要因为一次的失利就气馁，而是要不断的练习，练习越多，和陌生人开启一段谈话就会变得越容易。因此F项“The more you practice, the easier it will be to talk to a person you don’t know(你练习得越多，就越容易与你不认识的人交谈)”符合语境，有承上作用。故选F项。 第II卷（非选择题，共55分） 第二节（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 The Pygmalion effect (皮格马利翁效应) means that positive expectations lead to better performance while negative expectations lead to worse performance.

If you couldn’t find Arthur, all you had to do was look for Kyle. A few years ago, Arthur’s father was a successful businessman. But things went very wrong when his dad’s business failed. The two boys met when Arthur had to leave his expensive private school, which his family could no longer afford, and go to a public school. Arthur’s mom worked at the local bakery (面包烘房) and brought home boxes of baked goods. Just like Arthur’s, Kyle’s family struggled. They lived on a farm where they could not work any longer because Kyle’s dad was too sick, and his grandmother was too old. Kyle’s mom worked in the laundry (洗衣店) and still managed to grow vegetables for the family. The two families helped each other. Arthur gave Kyle’s family the extra delicious baked goods, and Kyle’s mom gave him baskets of carrots, potatoes, tomatoes, and fruit from the farm. Things took a turn for the worse when Kyle’s 84-year-old grandmother was seriously ill and had to go to the hospital. Kyle and his family were understandably upset, but worse of all were the hospital bills. Fortunately, she survived. One afternoon, Arthur found poor Kyle in tears. “What’s the matter, Kyle?” he asked. His friend wiped his tears. “Nothing, nothing at all!” he said. Arthur had his doubts, but he didn’t press Kyle. “Well, then,” he said. “I have good news for you! My Aunt sent me $50, and my mom said I could spend it on anything I wanted!” “WOW! Does that mean, ...” Arthur smiled. “YES!” he shouted. “That means I’m buying the robot!” “When are you going to buy it?” “Maybe this weekend,” Arthur said. “Now, how about you tell me what’s wrong?” “Grandma is turning eighty-five next week, and I wanted to get her a new album (相册) for the old family photos. She loves paging through it, remembering and telling stories. I asked my dad, but he said it was too expensive.” Arthur didn’t say a word. He sat down next to his friend and ... 注意: (1) 续写词数应为150左右; (2) 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 That night, Arthur asked his mom to join his secret plan. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The grandmother opened the present. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: That night, Arthur asked his mom to join his secret plan. And she happily agreed. On Kyle’s grandmother’s birthday, Arthur and his mom knocked on Kyle’s door. Arthur was carrying a big present-wrapped box and some beautiful flowers, and his mom had a HUGE beautiful birthday cake! When Kyle and his family saw them, they couldn’t believe their eyes! “Kyle,” Arthur said. “Quick, ask your grandma to blow out the candles and open the present box!” When the grandmother walked out of her room with difficulty, she was amazed!
