Toronto’s CN Tower It’s one of the world’s tallest structures at 1, 815 feet and the glassed-in elevators offer visitors a sense of just how high that is. In the tower’s 360 Restaurant diners sit on a floor that performs a full cycle every 72 minutes, guaranteeing (确保) different views of the city with each bite of meal. Plus, if you order dishes at the restaurant, your entry to the CN Tower is free. The Fairmont Royal York Hotel It is one of Toronto’s oldest and most storied hotels. Since opening in 1929 it’s stood as one of the largest hotels in the British Commonwealth with 1, 600 rooms. It’s also home to more than 300, 000 bees, who live on the hotel’s rooftop and produce honey for the Fairmont Royal York’s dining facilities (设施). The Toronto Islands North America’s largest urban car-free community offers plenty of green space and beaches for visitors of all ages. Those looking for exercise can explore the islands by bike while checking out the breathtaking views of Toronto’s skyline; visit the rental facility near the Centre Island ferry dock. St. Lawrence Market Voted the world’s best food market in 2012, the St. Lawrence Market complex consists of two buildings. The north building plays host to weekly Saturday farmer’s markets, while in the south building, open every day except Sunday and Monday, meat, baked goods, jewelry... are on offer. One of Toronto’s most iconic (标志性的) breakfasts — the pea-meal bacon sandwich is considered a signature dish. 6. What makes tourists feel the wonderful dining experience at Toronto’s CN Tower? A.

(在塔楼的360餐厅里，用餐者坐在每72分钟进行一次完整循环的地板上，保证每吃一口饭都能看到不同的城市景观。) ” 可知，在Toronto’s CN Tower是循环滚动的地板使得游客感受到美妙的用餐体验。故选B。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据 The Fairmont Royal York Hotel 部分的“It’s also home to more than 300, 000 bees, who live on the hotel’s rooftop and produce honey for the Fairmont Royal York’s dining facilities. (这里也是30多万只蜜蜂的家园，它们生活在酒店的屋顶上，为费尔蒙特皇家约克酒店生产蜂蜜。)” 可知，费尔蒙特皇家约克酒店最独特的特色是它是蜜蜂的栖息地。故选A。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据 The Toronto Islands 部分的“North America’s largest urban car-free community offers plenty of green space and beaches for visitors of all ages. Those looking for exercise can explore the islands by bike while checking out the breathtaking views of Toronto’s skyline. (北美最大的城市无车社区为所有年龄段的游客提供了充足的绿地和海滩。那些想锻炼身体的人可以骑自行车探索岛屿，同时欣赏多伦多天际线的壮丽景色。)” 可知，如果你想在欣赏风景的同时锻炼身体，建议去The Toronto Islands。故选C。 B People often ask how I decide where to go, and I usually get hesitated with my response, as I don’t actually have an answer to that. For more than three years, I have been making movements with the universe, traveling from location to location at seemingly random intervals. A friend of mine posted a Facebook status asking if anybody was interested in a job teaching English in China. So I jumped on a coming plane. Walking into my first class, I was bombed by 16 strange children who couldn’t understand a single word out of my mouth. When I walked out of my last class, six months later, I had made a personal connection with them. Some of my students could barely speak Chinese or English. But somehow, through determination and force, we connected. Every class was not only a lesson in English, but in good fellowship, being a role model, being a parent, and being a friend. I became a father to some, an older brother to others. I was loved and adored, feared and hated. I had to learn discipline, and not only how to deal it out, but how to discipline and conduct myself as a role model. But in between the discipline, I had to make learning a fun experience. And they forgave me when I yelled or got upset. And when they threw temper or bruised their knee or missed their mommy, I forgave them, kissed their bruises better, and gave them a shoulder to cry on. Teaching English in China is, by far, the most emotionally rewarding and fulfilling thing I’ve ever challenged myself to do. I have walked away from this job with a softened heart, knowing that I have made a difference in so many lives. I want that. I want my teachings to be reciprocal because they taught me how to unconditionally open my heart and how to be a more 1oving and patient person. 9. What can we learn about the writer before he came to China? A. He didn’t have a fixed job. B. He was a professional writer. C. He worked in a travel agency. D. He taught in a language school. 10. What was the situation like when the author met his students for the first time? A. Hard. B. Exciting. C. Touching. D. Inspiring. 11. What can we infer about the author from Paragraph 3? A. He was casual and patient. B. He was responsible but sensitive. C. He was cautious but bad-tempered. D. He was self-reflective and considerate. 12. What does the underlined word “reciprocal” in Paragraph 4 most probably mean? A. Beneficial. B. Interacted. C. Encouraging. D. Acceptable. 【答案】9. A 10. A 11. D 12. B 【解析】 【分析】本文是记叙文。文章讲述了作者来中国教英语的工作经历。他对学生们的生活产生了积极的影响，同时他也学会了敞开心扉成为一个更有爱心和耐心的人。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的For more than three years, I have been making movements with the universe, traveling from location to location at seemingly random intervals.可知，三年多来，我一直在跟着宇宙移动，从一个地方移动到另一个地方，时间间隔似乎是随机的。由此推知，作者在来中国之前，他没有固定的工作。故选A。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的Walking into my first class, I was bombed by 16 strange children who couldn’t understand a single word out of my mouth.可知，走进我的第一堂课，我被16个陌生的孩子震惊了，他们无法理解我说出的每一个字。由此推知，作者第一次见到学生时，他感觉到教学是很难开展的。故选A。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的I was loved and adored, feared and hated. I had to learn discipline, and not only how to deal it out, but how to discipline and conduct myself as a role model. And when they threw temper or bruised their knee or missed their mommy, I forgave them, kissed their bruises better, and gave them a shoulder to cry on.可知，我被爱，被崇拜，被恐惧，被憎恨。我必须学会自律，不仅要学会如何处理它，还要学会如何自律，如何把自己作为一个榜样。当他们发脾气、碰伤膝盖或想念妈妈时，我原谅了他们，更好地吻了他们的瘀伤，给了他们一个可以哭的肩膀。由此推知，作者是一个善于自我反省而且很体贴的人。故选D。 【12题详解】 词义猜测题。根据划线词所在句上文I have walked away from this job with a softened heart, knowing that I have made a difference in so many lives.可知，我带着一颗柔软的心离开了这份工作，我知道我已经改变了很多人的生活。再根据划线词后的because they taught me how to unconditionally open my heart and how to be a more 1oving and patient person.(因为他们教会了我如何无条件地敞开心扉，如何做一个更有爱心、更有耐心的人)可知，这是作者在工作中的收获。由此推知，作者希望他的教学对学生们起到的作用能和学生对他的影响是等同的。即划线词的意思是“同等的，对等的”。故选B。 C When most people think of drones (无人机), they think of technology and fun. Safe to say, few people would think about farming. However, a group of students from York College of Pennsylvania have been building a drone that will not only help local farmers but the environment, as well. Samantha Gotwalt and Blayde Reich, two senior Mechanical Engineering majors at York College in the group, both found the work to be quite fascinating. According to Samantha, the idea came from a York College professor, who has worked with drones, and wanted to get students involved with a project beneficial to the community. “We really want to help farming and agriculture. It’s super-important to America and our economy,” Blayde says. “We want to help the smaller farmers, and one of the perks is not having to spend their money on fertilizer and pesticides (杀虫剂).” The idea is to design and build a drone that will take video imagery of the fields to determine what is needed to produce the best crop, while saving money and sparing the environment by reducing pollutants in the water runoff. Ideally, that data gained will help the farmers better determine what chemicals they need — and what they don’t. However, finding the right equipment for the project was a challenge, starting with what drone the team would design for this particular usage. Samantha says she researched durability and control of drones to help make the proper determination. “We are flying over the field and we want to have enough efficiency and go relatively slow enough that our pictures turn out well - and fly low enough that it is not using up all of its power,” she says. “The fields are a couple hundred acres(英亩), so you need your drone to be able to fly the length of that field.” Blayde says the team continues to learn a great deal of information that will help the farmers and the environment. 13. What does the underlined word “perks” in paragraph 2 refer to? A. Challenges. B. Features. C. Benefits. D. Solutions. 14. What particular usage is the drone designed for? A. Spreading proper quantities of pesticides. B. Helping to determine the chemicals needed. C. Assisting to monitor the state of crops. D. Measuring the areas of the fields. 15. What technical issue of the drone shall be tackled? A. Its camera capacity. B. Its data collection ability. C. Its durability and control. D. Its material and efficiency. 16. What can best describe the students? A. Disciplined and realistic. B. Experienced and reliable. C. Humble and reserved. D. Responsible and creative. 【答案】13. C 14. B 15. C 16. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍来自宾夕法尼亚约克学院的一群学生正在建造一架无人机，帮助当地农民和保护环境。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词句子“We want to help the smaller farmers, and one of the perks is not having to spend their money on fertilizer and pesticides (杀虫剂).(我们想帮助小农户，其中一个perks就是不用把钱花在化肥和杀虫剂上)”可知，不用把钱花在化肥和杀虫剂上这应该是好处，益处，由此猜测perks意为“好处，益处”，和C选项“Benefits”同义。故选C。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The idea is to design and build a drone that will take video imagery of the fields to determine what is needed to produce the best crop, while saving money and sparing the environment by reducing pollutants in the water runoff. Ideally, that data gained will help the farmers better determine what chemicals they need - and what they don’t.( 他们的想法是设计和建造一架无人机，它可以拍摄田地的视频图像，以确定生产最好作物所需的条件，同时节省资金，并通过减少水径流中的污染物来保护环境。理想情况下，获得的数据将帮助农民更好地确定他们需要什么化学品，不需要什么化学品)”可知，无人机的具体用途是帮助确定所需的化学品。故选B。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“However, finding the right equipment for the project was a challenge, starting with what drone the team would design for this particular usage. Samantha says she researched durability and control of drones to help make the proper determination.(然而，为这个项目找到合适的设备是一个挑战，首先是团队将为这种特殊用途设计什么样的无人机。Samantha说，她研究了无人机的耐用性和控制能力，以帮助做出正确的决定)”可知，制作无人机遇到了挑战，需要解决无人机的耐用性和控制能力。故选C。 【16题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段““We really want to help farming and agriculture. It’s super-important to America and our economy,” Blayde says. “We want to help the smaller farmers, and one of the perks is not having to spend their money on fertilizer and pesticides (杀虫剂).” (“我们真的很想帮助农业和农业。这对美国和我们的经济都非常重要，”Blayde说。“我们想帮助小农民，其中一个好处就是不用把钱花在化肥和杀虫剂上。” )”可推知，他们是有责任心的；再根据第三段“The idea is to design and build a drone that will take video imagery of the fields to determine what is needed to produce the best crop, while saving money and sparing the environment by reducing pollutants in the water runoff. Ideally, that data gained will help the farmers better determine what chemicals they need — and what they don’t.(他们的想法是设计和建造一架无人机，它可以拍摄田地的视频图像，以确定生产最好作物所需的条件，同时节省资金，并通过减少水径流中的污染物来保护环境。理想情况下，获得的数据将帮助农民更好地确定他们需要什么化学品，不需要什么化学品)”可推知，他们是有创造力的。故选D。 D Are people less happy or more happy the older they get? A study found that people generally become happier and experience less worry after age 50. In fact, it found that by the age of 85, people are happier with their life than they were at 18. The finding came from a Gallup survey of more than 340000 adults between the age of 18 and 85 in the United States. Arthur Stone in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Science at Stony Brook University in New York led the study. His team found that levels of stress were highest among adults between the ages of 22 and 25. Stress levels dropped sharply after people reached their fifties. Happiness was highest among the youngest adults and those in their early seventies. But the people least likely to report feeling negative emotions were those in their seventies and eighties. The survey also found that men and women had similar emotional patterns as they grow older. However, women at all ages reported more sadness, stress and worry than men did. The researchers also considered possible influences like having young children, being unemployed or being single. But they found that influences like these did not affect the levels of happiness and well-being related to age. So why would happiness increase with age? One theory is that, as people get older, they become more thankful for what they have and have better control of their emotions. They also spend less time thinking about bad experiences. The original goal of the study was to confirm the popular belief that aging is connected with increased sleep problems. The survey did find an increase during middle age, especially in women. But except for that, people reported that they felt their sleep quality improved as they got older. 17. Old people may be happier probably because _________. A. their children have grown up B. they don’t have to work every day C. they can do whatever they like best D. they are most likely satisfied with life 18. According to the survey, when will adults feel most stressful? A. In their twenties. B. In their fifties. C In their seventies. D. In their eighties. 19. What may make Arthur Stone a bit surprised? A. Women usually live longer than men. B. Middle-age men mostly are very rich. C. Old people usually have a better sleep. D. Most of old people can’t sleep well at night. 20. Which of the following may be the topic of this passage? A. The difference between men and women. B. Old people’s feeling of happiness. C. The young people and the old people. D. The connection of sleep and happiness. 【答案】17. D 18. A 19. C 20. B 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项调查，经研究发现，人们在50岁之后会变得更加幸福，也会少一些忧虑。 【17题详解】 细节理解题。由倒数第二段中的“One theory is that, as people get older, they become more thankful for what they have and have better control of their emotions. (一种理论认为，随着年龄的增长，人们对自己拥有的东西会更加感激，并能更好地控制自己的情绪)”可知，老年人对他们所拥有的很感激，也就是他们对自己的生活感到很满意，所以会更快乐。故选D。 【18题详解】 细节理解题。由第三段中的“His team found that levels of stress were highest among adults between the ages of 22 and 25. (他的研究小组发现，22至25岁的成年人压力水平最高)”可知，人们压力最大的时候是22到25岁。故选A。 【19题详解】 细节理解题。由最后一段“The original goal of the study was to confirm the popular belief that aging is connected with increased sleep problems. The survey did find an increase during middle age, especially in women. But except for that, people reported that they felt their sleep quality improved as they got older. (这项研究的最初目的是证实一个普遍的观点，即衰老与睡眠问题的增加有关。这项调查确实发现中年人的比例有所上升，尤其是女性。但除此之外，人们报告说，随着年龄的增长，他们觉得自己的睡眠质量有所提高)”可知，这项研究最初的目的是证实随着年龄的增长，不断出现睡眠问题，但报告令人惊讶的是“当人们老了的时候睡眠质量反而提高”。故选C。 【20题详解】 主旨大意题。由第一段中的“A study found that people generally become happier and experience less worry after age 50. In fact, it found that by the age of 85, people are happier with their life than they were at 18. (一项研究发现，人们在50岁后通常会变得更快乐，经历更少的烦恼。事实上，研究发现，到85岁时，人们的生活比18岁时更幸福)”和下文关于其研究内容及原因的说明可知，这篇文章主要介绍的是人们在50岁之后会变得更加幸福，也就是老年人对幸福的感受。故选B。 第二节 七选五（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个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。 Overcoming Fear of Failure Have you ever been so afraid of failing at something that you decided not to try at all?

Toronto’s CN Tower It’s one of the world’s tallest structures at 1, 815 feet and the glassed-in elevators offer visitors a sense of just how high that is. In the tower’s 360 Restaurant diners sit on a floor that performs a full cycle every 72 minutes, guaranteeing (确保) different views of the city with each bite of meal. Plus, if you order dishes at the restaurant, your entry to the CN Tower is free. The Fairmont Royal York Hotel It is one of Toronto’s oldest and most storied hotels. Since opening in 1929, it’s stood as one of the largest hotels in the British Commonwealth with 1, 600 rooms. It’s also home to more than 300, 000 bees, who live on the hotel’s rooftop and produce honey for the Fairmont Royal York’s dining facilities (设施). The Toronto Islands North America’s largest urban car-free community offers plenty of green space and beaches for visitors of all ages. Those looking for exercise can explore the islands by bike while checking out the breathtaking views of Toronto’s skyline; visit the rental facility near the Centre Island ferry dock. St. Lawrence Market Voted the world’s best food market in 2012, the St. Lawrence Market complex consists of two buildings. The north building plays host to weekly Saturday farmer’s markets, while in the south building, open every day except Sunday and Monday, meat, baked goods, jewelry... are on offer. One of Toronto’s most iconic (标志性的) breakfasts — the pea-meal bacon sandwich is considered a signature dish. 6 What makes tourists feel the wonderful dining experience at Toronto’s CN Tower? A. Its highest altitude. B. A floor rolling in a circle. C. The glassed-in lifts. D. Free entry to CN Tower. 7. What is the most unique feature of the Fairmont Royal York Hotel? A. It serves as a habitat for bees. B. It provides iconic food. C. It opens only on Sundays. D. It offers story materials. 8. If you want to do exercise while appreciating scenery, where would you go? A. Toronto’s CN Tower. B. The Fairmont Royal York Hotel. C. The Toronto Islands. D. St. Lawrence Market. B People often ask how I decide where to go, and I usually get hesitated with my response, as I don’t actually have an answer to that. For more than three years, I have been making movements with the universe, traveling from location to location at seemingly random intervals. A friend of mine posted a Facebook status asking if anybody was interested in a job teaching English in China. So I jumped on a coming plane. Walking into my first class, I was bombed by 16 strange children who couldn’t understand a single word out of my mouth. When I walked out of my last class, six months later, I had made a personal connection with them. Some of my students could barely speak Chinese or English. But somehow, through determination and force, we connected. Every class was not only a lesson in English, but in good fellowship, being a role model, being a parent, and being a friend. I became a father to some, an older brother to others. I was loved and adored, feared and hated. I had to learn discipline, and not only how to deal it out, but how to discipline and conduct myself as a role model. But in between the discipline, I had to make learning a fun experience. And they forgave me when I yelled or got upset. And when they threw temper or bruised their knee or missed their mommy, I forgave them, kissed their bruises better, and gave them a shoulder to cry on. Teaching English in China is, by far, the most emotionally rewarding and fulfilling thing I’ve ever challenged myself to do. I have walked away from this job with a softened heart, knowing that I have made a difference in so many lives. I want that. I want my teachings to be reciprocal because they taught me how to unconditionally open my heart and how to be a more 1oving and patient person. 9. What can we learn about the writer before he came to China? A. He didn’t have a fixed job. B. He was a professional writer. C. He worked in a travel agency. D. He taught in a language school. 10. What was the situation like when the author met his students for the first time? A Hard. B. Exciting. C. Touching. D. Inspiring. 11. What can we infer about the author from Paragraph 3? A. He was casual and patient. B. He was responsible but sensitive. C. He was cautious but bad-tempered. D. He was self-reflective and considerate. 12. What does the underlined word “reciprocal” in Paragraph 4 most probably mean? A. Beneficial. B. Interacted. C. Encouraging. D. Acceptable. C When most people think of drones (无人机), they think of technology and fun. Safe to say, few people would think about farming. However, a group of students from York College of Pennsylvania have been building a drone that will not only help local farmers but the environment, as well. Samantha Gotwalt and Blayde Reich, two senior Mechanical Engineering majors at York College in the group, both found the work to be quite fascinating. According to Samantha, the idea came from a York College professor, who has worked with drones, and wanted to get students involved with a project beneficial to the community. “We really want to help farming and agriculture. It’s super-important to America and our economy,” Blayde says. “We want to help the smaller farmers, and one of the perks is not having to spend their money on fertilizer and pesticides (杀虫剂).” The idea is to design and build a drone that will take video imagery of the fields to determine what is needed to produce the best crop, while saving money and sparing the environment by reducing pollutants in the water runoff. Ideally, that data gained will help the farmers better determine what chemicals they need — and what they don’t. However, finding the right equipment for the project was a challenge, starting with what drone the team would design for this particular usage. Samantha says she researched durability and control of drones to help make the proper determination. “We are flying over the field and we want to have enough efficiency and go relatively slow enough that our pictures turn out well - and fly low enough that it is not using up all of its power,” she says. “The fields are a couple hundred acres(英亩), so you need your drone to be able to fly the length of that field.” Blayde says the team continues to learn a great deal of information that will help the farmers and the environment. 13. What does the underlined word “perks” in paragraph 2 refer to? A. Challenges. B. Features. C. Benefits. D. Solutions. 14. What particular usage is the drone designed for? A. Spreading proper quantities of pesticides. B. Helping to determine the chemicals needed. C. Assisting to monitor the state of crops. D. Measuring the areas of the fields. 15. What technical issue of the drone shall be tackled? A. Its camera capacity. B. Its data collection ability. C. Its durability and control. D. Its material and efficiency. 16. What can best describe the students? A. Disciplined and realistic. B. Experienced and reliable. C. Humble and reserved. D. Responsible and creative. D Are people less happy or more happy the older they get? A study found that people generally become happier and experience less worry after age 50. In fact, it found that by the age of 85, people are happier with their life than they were at 18. The finding came from a Gallup survey of more than 340,000 adults between the age of 18 and 85 in the United States. Arthur Stone in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Science at Stony Brook University in New York led the study. His team found that levels of stress were highest among adults between the ages of 22 and 25. Stress levels dropped sharply after people reached their fifties. Happiness was highest among the youngest adults and those in their early seventies. But the people least likely to report feeling negative emotions were those in their seventies and eighties. The survey also found that men and women had similar emotional patterns as they grow older. However, women at all ages reported more sadness, stress and worry than men did. The researchers also considered possible influences like having young children, being unemployed or being single. But they found that influences like these did not affect the levels of happiness and well-being related to age. So why would happiness increase with age? One theory is that, as people get older, they become more thankful for what they have and have better control of their emotions. They also spend less time thinking about bad experiences. The original goal of the study was to confirm the popular belief that aging is connected with increased sleep problems. The survey did find an increase during middle age, especially in women. But except for that, people reported that they felt their sleep quality improved as they got older. 17. Old people may be happier probably because _________. A their children have grown up B. they don’t have to work every day C. they can do whatever they like best D. they are most likely satisfied with life 18. According to the survey, when will adults feel most stressful? A. In their twenties. B. In their fifties. C. In their seventies. D. In their eighties. 19. What may make Arthur Stone a bit surprised? A. Women usually live longer than men. B. Middle-age men mostly are very rich. C Old people usually have a better sleep. D. Most of old people can’t sleep well at night. 20. Which of the following may be the topic of this passage? A. The difference between men and women. B. Old people’s feeling of happiness. C. The young people and the old people. D. The connection of sleep and happiness. 第二节 七选五（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个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。 Overcoming Fear of Failure Have you ever been so afraid of failing at something that you decided not to try at all?
