健康有好处。
1. A 推理判断题。根据下文的主要内容,尤其
是第二段的“The possible mental health prob

活可能带来的精神健康问题影响着很多
人).”可推测,第一段两个问题的作用是引出
下文关于城市生活可能会影响人精神健康的
话题。故选A项。
2. D 细节理解题。根据第四段的“Mechelli
says that someone who lives in a city is three
times more likely to develop psychological prob
lem than someone living in the country.”可知,

sults’will inform future urban planning and so

文主要讲述城市生活可能对人的精神健康是
有害的。故选B项。
Ⅱ. One possible version:
The little boy headed back down to the old
mans house. The thought of knocking at the old
mans door filled the little boy with fear,
though,he still knocked on the door,waiting
breathlessly. Finally,it opened,and out came
the old man. Seeing the boy holding a well
wrapped dog figurine,he looked very aston
ished but still glared at him without a word. De
termined to break the ice,the boy gave the old
man the gift with a precious card attached,ex
pressing his care. Deeply moved by all the boy
did,the old man could say nothing but to hug
him tightly,the tears of appreciation welling
up. Out of gratitude,he bought a magazine
from the boy and saw him off.
From that day on something changed in
side the old man. He adopted a real live dog
—254—
and treated him as his child. It seemed that it
was the company of the dog that led the lonely
soul out of darkness and loneliness. Gradually,
he was willing to greet others and wear a bright
smile,expressing his appreciation to life. In
deed,only when we open up the door of our
heart,can we be bathed in the brilliant sun
shine and enjoy the warmth of love and care.

One possible version:
Dear Editor,
I am a senior high school student,named
Zhang Meng. Nowadays,its fashionable for young
students to have iPads. Using an iPad,we can lis
ten to music,download a lot of learning materials
and read them. Obviously,its of great help with
our studies,especially with our English listening
skills.
Some students,however,bring their iPads to
the classroom listening to music with earphones,
and some playing video games, which makes
teachers and students greatly annoyed.
In my opinion,the classroom is a place for
studying,and concentration is terribly needed.
Therefore,we should make good use of iPads and
other modern communication tools to help with our
lessons.
Meanwhile,schools should make some rules
to instruct the students to use iPads properly.
Yours sincerely,
Zhang Meng

Ⅰ.阅读理解
Are people happier in nature with blue skies
overhead and fresh green grass underfoot?Could
noisy streets, crowded with cars and people,
make us unhappy?
The possible mental health problems of city
living affect a lot of people. The World Health
Organisation estimates that 56 percent of the
worlds population lived in urban areas in 2019.
The WHO adds that that amount will increase to
66 percent by 2050. People often move to cities for
better jobs and more cultural activities. But are
they putting themselves at risk?Maybe. Experts at
the American Psychiatry Association say that
“natural environments or green spaces”do much
good to our mental health.
Many studies have shown that nature can
calm us and make us feel happy. Nature,experts
say, can also help us learn better. And
experiencing nature helps people recover from the
mental tiredness that comes from daytoday work.
On the other hand,mental health experts say
some research suggests that city living might hurt
our mental health. But they cannot say
exactly why.
What are the specific aspects of the urban
environment which cause some people to develop
mental illness?Andrea Mechelli, a doctor at
Kings College,London,states,“There have been
studies where people were literally taken out of an
urban environment into a rural environment and
their symptoms would improve. And we also see
that the greater the city is,the greater the risk
is.”Mechelli says that someone who lives in a
city is three times more likely to develop
psychological problem than someone living in the
country.
Kings College researchers,along with city
planners,land and building designers and others
wanted to learn more about city living and mental
illness. So,they created a smartphone app called
Urban Mind. They said they wanted to understand
how different parts of the urban environment affect
mental wellbeing.
The researchers found that being outdoors,
seeing trees,hearing birdsong,seeing the sky,
and feeling in contact with nature were associated
with higher levels of mental wellbeing. They also
found that these seeming effects of nature were
especially strong in those individuals at greater
risk of mental health problems. The Urban Mind
—502—
Project team says it hopes “the results will inform
future urban planning and social policy aimed at
improving design and health.”
1. Why is the question raised in the first
paragraph?
A. To introduce the topic of the text.
B. To show the background of the text.
C. To ask the readers to learn the study.
D. To raise the readers interest in happiness.
2. What does Mechelli find during his study?
A. People are attracted by the blue skies and
green grass.
B. People are more content with their city life.
C. More and more people are interested in taking
risks in cities.
D. City people are more likely to develop
mental problems than country people.
3. What is expected of the Urban Mind research
result?
A. More people will choose to live in the
countryside.
B. It will bring more concern about peoples
mental health.
C. It will contribute to future urban planning
and social policies.
D. People will be helped to improve their
mental illness.
4. What is the main idea of the text?
A. Urban Mind measures the level of mental
wellbeing.
B. City living may be harmful to peoples mental
health.

city.
D. Different scientists hold different opinions on
the effects of city living.

The little boy
A little boy selling magazines for school
walked up to a house that people rarely visited.
The house was very old and shabby and the owner
hardly ever came out. When he did come out,he
would not say hello to his neighbours or passersby
but simply just glare at them.
The boy knocked on the door and waited,
sweating from fear of the old man. The boys
parents told him to stay away from the house,and
a lot of the other neighbourhood children were told
the same thing from their parents.
Dust found the boy lingering on and
hesitating what to do. As he was ready to walk
away,the door slowly opened. “What do you
want?”the old man said impatiently. The little
boy was very afraid but he had a quota(份额)to
meet for school with selling the magazines. So he
got up the courage and said,“Uh,sir,I am
selling these magazines and uh,I was wondering
if you would like to buy one from me.”
The old man just stared at the boy without a
word. The boy could see inside the old mans
house and saw that he had dog figurines(小雕像)
on the fireplace mantle. “Do you collect dogs?”
The little boy asked. “Yes,
I have many
—602—
collections in my house. They are my family here
and they are all I have.”The boy then felt sorry
for the man,as it seemed that he was a very
lonely soul.
“Well, I do have a magazine here for
collectors. It is perfect for you. I also have one
about dogs since you like dogs so much.”The old
man was ready to close the door on the boy and
said,“No,boy. I dont need any magazines of any
kind,now goodbye.”
The little boy was sad that he was not going
to make his quota with the sale. He was also sad
for the old man being so alone in the house that he
owned. The boy went home and then had an idea.
He had a little dog figurine that he got some years
ago from an aunt. The figurine did not mean nearly
as much to him since he had a real live dog and a
large family.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在相应的位置作答。
The little boy headed back down to the old
mans house.
From that day on something changed inside
the old man.
