Avignon If you’re looking for history, then visit the town center of Avignon, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. If you want to learn even more about this attractive town, then take a tour— it is often guided by a local expert. Hear the history first-hand and come away with a greater understanding as to how the town came to be. Chateau Nothing says French countryside more than a chateau surrounded by acres of vineyards. There are wines to choose from. You can also explore the surrounding natural beauty on a horse ride, and they even run vineyard tours on horseback for a truly unique experience. Be sure to bring back a bottle or two of the Chateau des Bertrands wine so you can share a glass with friends as you tell them all about your trip. Magnificent Marseille The oldest city in France, starting out as an ancient Greek colony (殖民地), with its rich history, can keep every holidaymaker happy. A unique way to see as much as possible of what this great city has to offer is to book onto a segway tour. See the sights of the Museum Marseilles, Cathédrale La Major, and the historic Le Panier, while you walk around the streets. Cannes With amazing blue waters fresh seafood, and mild winters, it’s an attractive destination to visit all year round. If you want a beach day, we’d recommend the Plage du Midi, easily accessible from the center of town. If you want to make the most of the Mediterranean Sea, don’t just look at it — sail on it! 1. What makes Avignon different from the other three places? A. Its beautiful scene. B. Its mild weather. C. Its rich history. D. Its guided expert. 2. What does the author suggest visitors do when travelling in Chateau? A. Ride a horse. B. Take local wines. C. Buy a gift. D. Taste some snacks. 3. Who may favor Cannes most? A. Beach lovers. B. Museum goers. C. Enthusiastic hikers. D. Sports players. B Fifteen-year-old Sansa has been writing for eight years and has been working on a book for the past four. Feeling stuck and unable to write, she started searching for writing groups in Los Angeles, looking for guidance. When she found WriteGirl, she was inspired. Keren Taylor started WriteGirl in 2001 as a way to help teen girls who did not have access to creative writing programs. “Teen girls are incredibly vulnerable (脆弱的) and invisible,” Taylor said. “They really need to be lifted up and inspired.” At WriteGirl, 400 women writers volunteer to mentor (指导) 700 teenagers a year. Every girl who has gone through the mentorship program has gone to college and several have pursued careers as professional writers. Through the program, girls dive into poetry, fiction, songwriting, play and so on, learning techniques from professional women writers. This leads to well-rounded training and sets WriteGirl apart from other organizations. A typical exercise at WriteGirl is mic and rant, a 30-second session before writing for each girl. As a vehicle for teens to get their ideas out, it empowers girls to explore anything meaningful to them. “Not the flowery language, or rather, complicated expressions that sound skillful, but more of the natural, this is what I’m thinking and what I’m feeling.” Taylor said. Sansa’s mentor Danyella Wilder is attracted by the long-term nature of mentoring at WriteGirl. Wilder wishes she had a program like this herself when she was 15. “To just have an organization where people are spending their time just to tell you, ‘Hey, good job,’ or ‘That was amazing.’ You’re at the age where you need to hear that.” 4. Why did Sansa join WriteGirl? A. To gain a sense of belonging. B. To overcome her writing block. C. To release negative emotions. D. To become a professional writer. 5. What makes WriteGirl different from other organizations? A. It aims to produce professional writers. B. It turns teen girls into mentors. C. It exposes girls to varied writing styles. D. It ensures girls’entry to college. 6. What does the “mic and rant” exercise in paragraph 4 refer to? A. A daily writing task. B. A recitation of poetry. C. A session for idea generation. D. A skillful expression activity. 7. What does Danyella Wilder imply in the last paragraph? A. Mentoring is a time-consuming process. B. Positive feedback is crucial for teen girls. C. Criticism at a young age can be harmful. D. Mentorship should be based on friendship. C It is William Shakespeare, the great coiner, who is given credit for the word. Coriolanus, one of his characters, compares going into exile (流放) to a “lonely dragon” retiring to his cave. He was talking about a physical state: someone who was lonely was simply alone. Then, thanks to the Romantic poets, the word took on emotional meanings. Loneliness became a condition of the soul. For William Wordsworth, who famously “wandered lonely as a cloud”, the natural world offered an escape from negative feelings of loneliness — a host of flowers could provide “cheerful company”. Today, loneliness is often seen as a serious public-health problem, creating the feeling of disconnection. In his book Solitude, Netta Weinstein, a psychology professor wonders the rewards of time spent alone. He begins with an account of stories of solitude created by figures such as Michel Montaigne, a writer, and Edward Hopper, a painter. Netta then draw on laboratory work, interviews and surveys to clarify how being alone really affects the human mind. It is common to treat loneliness and solitude as synonyms (同义词), but they are not. The author suggests that what is negatively described as one state can be positively expressed as the other. Loneliness, often perceived as negative, can potentially be transformed into a positive experience of solitude. To this end he emphasizes how being alone can help restore people and offers practical advice. In a noisy world, he argues, people should make time to be alone, away from attention-grabbing motives. The book’s interviewees mostly regard a lack of company as a contributor to autonomy (自主). But this depends on whether solitude is desirable or not. Enforced solitude, such as that experienced by prisoners, typically leads to nothing but suffering. Elective solitude, by contrast, affords space for self-reflection. It can open the door to “peak experiences” such as wonder, harmony, and happiness. However, it is a pity that in a highly-connected digital age, many readers don’t like their chances of ever taking a long enough break to have such experiences. 8. How does paragraph 1 introduce the concept of loneliness? A. By tracing its development. B. By analyzing causes. C. By making a point to be argued. D. By sharing a romantic story. 9. What does Netta Weinstein’s book Solitude focus on? A. The various terms of solitude. B. The societal impact of solitude. C. The long-standing history of solitude. D. The psychological benefits of solitude. 10. Netta describes the state of loneliness as _______. A. stressful B. essential C. changeable D. harmful 11 What does Netta most probably agree with according to the last paragraph? A. Enforced solitude is a matter of choice. B. Enforced solitude contributes to autonomy. C. Elective solitude is rare in the digital world. D. Elective solitude interrupts peak experiences. D Robots have long been drawing inspiration from animals, with the creation of robot dogs or snake-shaped robots. And yet, the field of robotics is far less enthusiastic about the other kind of living things — plants. Barbara Mazzolai, an Italian roboticist owes this to a misconception about plant behavior: that they cannot move or think. “It’s not true at all,” she says. To challenge this view, Dr Mazzolai and her team recently launched a machine called “FiloBot”, a robot based on a climbing species. To survive, a climbing plant must switch between several different behaviors. In forest environments, it must first grow out of the soil and travel along the ground in search of a support to hold onto, such as a nearby tree. Once a support is located, though, the plant fixes itself around the object and then growing towards the light. To choose the best angle to grow upwards, a climbing plant uses its shoots (芽) to receive information about light and gravity. FiloBot has sensors on its main shoot. It can 3D-print its body with plastic and grow at a controllable rate. These functions, researchers found, enabled FiloBot to cross gaps, and find things to attach to. The lack of heavy on-board computing device means that it is light and requires minimal care, while its slow pace means that it doesn’t disturb things around it, making it possible to move through a complex, unseen environment, or monitoring disaster sites. For now, FiloBot is still being tested. Its tendrils (卷须) have not left the laboratory. Still, it has already been employed in deconstructing plant behaviour. For example, it was long assumed that climbing plants find their supports by growing towards shade, though the exact mechanism was unclear. FiloBot could imitate this behaviour by detecting far-red light, which is typical of shaded areas, providing clues to how plants do it. Dr Mazzolai hopes that such projects will inspire other roboticists to take their cues from plants and develop completely new technologies. 12. What does the misconception about plants in the field of robotics focus on? A. Their shapes. B. Their diversity. C. Their body language. D. Their capabilities. 13. What is an advantage of FiloBot? A. It moves quickly. B. It has a solid metal body. C. It adapts to different environment. D. It is attached to huge computers. 14. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. The limitations of FiloBot. B. The current use of FiloBot. C. The components of FiloBot. D. The unique feature of FiloBot’s design. 15. Which of the following is a suitable title for this text? A. A Role Model for Robotics Research B. A Glimpse into the World of Robotics C. A Plant-Inspired Innovation in Robotics D. A Misunderstanding of the Plant Kingdom 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。 Sometimes, we meet with situations that cause us to feel angry to the point we may want to erupt like a volcano or curse (咒骂) someone out. ____16____ Here are some replies online to the question about how to deal with anger.

Only in this way can we enjoy life to the fullest. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
