Read on for examples of creative buildings in the world. Wonder Works, Tennessee INSPIRATION: What if a laboratory was thrown into the air in an experiment and landed upside down?

Entertainment B Dallas-based Knit Wits is made up of a group of grandmothers with a strong love for knitting (编织) who turn their love for crafting (精心制作) into a purposeful attempt. Meeting regularly, they pour their collective love into every stitch (针法) they make. The group has been working for over ten years, meeting every Friday, to support organizations that help others, locally and around the world. Over the years, they’ve crafted thousands of items in support of the important things. Recently the Knit Wits member Mary Ann Stover was encouraged to have the group knit hats for infant (婴儿) patients with heart disease at Children’s Health Hospital. The hats, each a unique work of art, designed with holiday themes, reflect the skill of the Knit Wits. More importantly, the special of Knit Wits is its understanding of the emotional effect these small objects can have on the infants experiencing medical treatments. Bealle, a certified child life specialist at Children’s Health Hospital, explained how the hats are making a difference to the tiny patients and their families. “Caregivers are able to wear the hats on their body to move their smells before placing the hats back on the infants, encouraging connecting and making the infants less stressful,” he said. Throughout the infants’ admission, many holidays are celebrated. At times, some infants are seriously ill and unable to dress up for holiday photos the families have planned. Thanks to the donations from Knit Wits, the hospital team is able to provide the family with a suitable themed infant hat the family can use for their photos and holiday celebrations. 14. What do we know about the hats from Paragraph 2? A. They centre on spiritual comfort. B. They have holiday food subjects. C. They are knitted by the caregivers. D. They are worn on child parents’ birthdays. 15. Why do the caregivers wear the hats first? A. To hold an artistic activity. B. To see off the recovered patients. C. To relax the infants for treatments. D. To welcome the arrival of various holidays. 16. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. Why some holiday celebrations are held. B. What the hats can be used as on holidays. C. Why some special photos are important. D. What the hats can be matched with. 17. Which of the following can best describe the members of Knit Wits? A. Careful. B. Brave. C. Warm-hearted. D. Energetic. C From Mozart to Metallica tons of people enjoy listening to various types of music while they paint, write, or draw. Most believe that music helps increase creativity, but an international study conducted by English and Swedish researchers is challenging that view. The study results were echoed by scientists from Lancaster University, and the University of Gavle, saying their findings show music actually weakens creativity. To reach their conclusions (结论), researchers had volunteers complete verbal (口头的) problems designed to inspire creativity while sitting in a quiet room, and then again while music played in the background. They found that background music significantly weakened the volunteers’ ability to complete tasks connected with verbal creativity. The team also tested background noises like those commonly heard in a library, but found that such noises had no influence on subjects’ creativity. The tasks were simple word games. For example, volunteers were given three words, such as dress, rise, and flower. Then, they were asked to find a single word connected with all three that could be combined (结合) to form a common phrase or word. The single word, in this case, would be “sun” (sundress, sunrise, sunflower). Volunteers completed the tasks in either a quiet room, or while listening to two different types of music: rock music or light music “We found strong evidence of weakened performance when playing background music in comparison to quiet background conditions,” says co-author D. Neil McLatchie of Lancaster University. He and his colleagues find that music negatively influences the verbal working memory processes of the brain, preventing creativity. Also, as far as the library background noises having seemingly (似乎) no effect, the study’s authors believe that was the case because library noises create a “regular state” environment that doesn’t affect concentration. “To conclude the findings here challenge the popular view that music increases creativity, and instead show that music, whatever type it is, is always a disadvantage for creative performance in problem solving,” the study reads. 18. What does the underlined word “echoed” in Paragraph 1 mean? A. Challenged B. Accepted C. Doubted D. Heard 19. What were the volunteers asked to do in the study? A. To play music. B. To combine given words. C. To create new words. D. To connect words with music. 20. What can we infer from the study? A. Quiet background inspires creativity best. B. Library noise does no harm to creativity. C. Music has a bad effect on language ability. D. Music types matter in creative performance. 21. Which is the main idea of the passage? A. Quiet Environments Prevent Concentration. B. Background Noise Affects Concentration. C. Composing Music Weakens Creativity. D. Listening to Music Reduces Creativity. D Have you ever seen a live spade-toothed whale (铲齿中喙鲸)? It is the world’s rarest kind of whale. Do you know how many of them exist, what they eat, or even where they live in the southern Pacific Ocean? Scientists in New Zealand may finally get to learn more about them. The country’s conservation agency said that it believed a dead spade-toothed whale had been washed up on a South Island beach earlier this month. Scientists identified the whale by its color patterns and the shape of its organs-its head, mouth and teeth. Hannah Hendriks is a sea life expert for the Department of Conservation. She said, “This is going to lead to some amazing science and world-first information.” In the past only a few other dead spade-toothed whales appeared on New Zealand’s beaches. Most notably, scientists didn’t have a chance to closely examine them, but now, they will be able to. They have moved the whale to a cold place for their investigation. “Spade tooth whales live deep in the ocean. They come to the surface so rarely that scientists only know their general location in the southern Pacific Ocean. It is home to some of the world’s deepest ocean areas. It’s very hard to do research on marine mammals (海洋哺乳动物) if you don’t see them at sea,” Hendriks said. “You don’t know where to look.” Kirsten Young is a senior lecturer at the UK’s University of Exeter. She studies spade-toothed whales. She wrote in an email that it took many years and a lot of efforts by researchers and local people to identify the whales. “This new discovery makes me wonder how many there are in the deep ocean and how they live,” Young said. In fact, researchers studying the mammal couldn’t confirm if the species died out or went extinct, until in 2010, two spade toothed whales, both dead, appeared on a New Zealand beach. Samples of their cells later showed they were spade-toothed whales. 22. How does the author begin the text? A. By raising questions. B. By giving examples. C. By listing numbers. D. By making comparisons. 23. Why is the discovery of the spade-toothed whale important? A. It shows a new kind of whale exists. B. It identifies the whale by its place of death. C. It confirms the whale’s population is on the rise. D. It allows scientists to study the whale up close. 24. What did Hendriks stress about the spade-toothed whale research in paragraph 4? A. Its reasons. B. Its benefits. C. Its challenge. D. Its process. 25. What is Young’s attitude to the new discovery? A. Worried. B. Curious. C. Doubtful. D. Indifferent. 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。 First aid refers to the initial medical attention given immediately after an injury or an accident. ____26____ They think it's a job exclusive to medical professionals. In fact, it's a life skill we all should try to learn. According to The Guardian, over 150,000 people get critically injured or die yearly because of people's lack of first aid knowledge. That's a tall number considering we live in the modern age. Thus, more people must know what to do in case of accidents or medical emergencies. ____27____ We can reduce these life-threatening situations by learning the prompt care needed in such situations. Whether we like it or not, accidents and emergencies happen at any time. ____28____ In the USA alone, over six million people are involved in traffic accidents each year. In fact, it's the leading cause of death for people between the ages of 1 and 54. That said, no one can predict when or where disaster may strike. These accidents can happen at home, at work, or while in transit. That's why basic first aid skills like CPR, disinfecting (消毒) wounds, and learning to stop bleeding can go a long way. ____29____ It's a vital step that prevents injuries from worsening until full medical help arrives. For instance, when a person experiences cardiac arrest, they only have 3 to 4 minutes before the brain lacks oxygen. What you do in these minutes will impact the patient's condition. Calling for an ambulance is, of course, your priority. ____30____ A. Developed countries witness a greater death rate. B. But it might encounter traffic jams during rush hours. C. However, if you can employ CPR, it can relieve the damage. D. It's a part of our reality that we must always prepare ourselves for. E. The bad news is that not many people know the importance of first aid. F. Heart attacks and choking endanger thousands of lives on a yearly basis. G. The first few minutes are the most critical in the case of a medical emergency. 三、语言知识运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 In February, Norwood, 17, was driving with three friends in Florida.

Most believe that music helps increase creativity, but an international study conducted by English and Swedish researchers is challenging that view. The study results were echoed by scientists from Lancaster University, and the University of Gavle, saying their findings show music actually weakens creativity. To reach their conclusions (结论), researchers had volunteers complete verbal (口头的) problems designed to inspire creativity while sitting in a quiet room, and then again while music played in the background. They found that background music significantly weakened the volunteers’ ability to complete tasks connected with verbal creativity. The team also tested background noises like those commonly heard in a library, but found that such noises had no influence on subjects’ creativity. The tasks were simple word games. For example, volunteers were given three words, such as dress, rise, and flower. Then, they were asked to find a single word connected with all three that could be combined (结合) to form a common phrase or word. The single word, in this case, would be “sun” (sundress, sunrise, sunflower). Volunteers completed the tasks in either a quiet room, or while listening to two different types of music: rock music or light music “We found strong evidence of weakened performance when playing background music in comparison to quiet background conditions,” says co-author D. Neil McLatchie of Lancaster University. He and his colleagues find that music negatively influences the verbal working memory processes of the brain, preventing creativity. Also, as far as the library background noises having seemingly (似乎) no effect, the study’s authors believe that was the case because library noises create a “regular state” environment that doesn’t affect concentration. “To conclude, the findings here challenge the popular view that music increases creativity, and instead show that music, whatever type it is, is always a disadvantage for creative performance in problem solving,” the study reads. 18. What does the underlined word “echoed” in Paragraph 1 mean? A. Challenged B. Accepted C. Doubted D. Heard 19. What were the volunteers asked to do in the study? A. To play music. B. To combine given words. C. To create new words. D. To connect words with music. 20. What can we infer from the study? A. Quiet background inspires creativity best. B. Library noise does no harm to creativity. C. Music has a bad effect on language ability. D. Music types matter in creative performance. 21. Which is the main idea of the passage? A. Quiet Environments Prevent Concentration. B. Background Noise Affects Concentration. C. Composing Music Weakens Creativity. D. Listening to Music Reduces Creativity. 【答案】18. B 19. C 20. B 21. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了大多数人认为音乐有助于提高创造力，但一项由英国和瑞典研究人员进行的国际研究对这一观点提出了挑战。他们表示，音乐实际上会削弱创造力。文章主要介绍了研究开展的过程以及研究表明，无论音乐是什么类型的，它总是不利于解决问题的创造性表现。 【18题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段“Most believe that music helps increase creativity, but an international study conducted by English and Swedish researchers is challenging that view.(大多数人认为音乐有助于提高创造力，但一项由英国和瑞典研究人员进行的国际研究对这一观点提出了挑战)”以及画线词后文“saying their findings show music actually weakens creativity”可知，这项研究结果得到了兰开斯特大学和耶夫勒大学的科学家们的接受，他们表示，音乐实际上会削弱创造力。故画线词意思是“接受”。故选B。 【19题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“For example, volunteers were given three words, such as dress, rise, and flower. Then, they were asked to find a single word connected with all three that could be combined (结合) to form a common phrase or word.(例如，志愿者被告知三个单词，如dress， rise和flower。然后，他们被要求找到一个与这三个单词相连的单词，这些单词可以组合成一个常见的短语或单词)”可知，志愿者在研究中被要求创造新词。故选C。 【20题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“Also, as far as the library background noises having seemingly (似乎) no effect, the study’s authors believe that was the case because library noises create a “regular state” environment that doesn’t affect concentration.(此外，就图书馆的背景噪音似乎没有影响而言，该研究的作者认为，这是因为图书馆的噪音创造了一个“正常状态”的环境，不会影响注意力)”可推知，图书馆的噪音对创造力没有坏处。故选B。 【21题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中“Most believe that music helps increase creativity, but an international study conducted by English and Swedish researchers is challenging that view. The study results were echoed by scientists from Lancaster University, and the University of Gavle, saying their findings show music actually weakens creativity.(大多数人认为音乐有助于提高创造力，但一项由英国和瑞典研究人员进行的国际研究正在挑战这一观点。这项研究结果得到了兰开斯特大学和耶夫勒大学的科学家们的呼应，他们的研究结果表明，音乐实际上会削弱创造力)”结合文章主要介绍了研究开展的过程以及研究表明，无论音乐是什么类型的，它总是不利于解决问题的创造性表现。可知，这篇文章的主旨是听音乐会降低创造力。故选D。 D Have you ever seen a live spade-toothed whale (铲齿中喙鲸)? It is the world’s rarest kind of whale. Do you know how many of them exist, what they eat, or even where they live in the southern Pacific Ocean? Scientists in New Zealand may finally get to learn more about them. The country’s conservation agency said that it believed a dead spade-toothed whale had been washed up on a South Island beach earlier this month. Scientists identified the whale by its color patterns and the shape of its organs-its head, mouth and teeth. Hannah Hendriks is a sea life expert for the Department of Conservation. She said, “This is going to lead to some amazing science and world-first information.” In the past only a few other dead spade-toothed whales appeared on New Zealand’s beaches. Most notably, scientists didn’t have a chance to closely examine them, but now, they will be able to. They have moved the whale to a cold place for their investigation. “Spade tooth whales live deep in the ocean. They come to the surface so rarely that scientists only know their general location in the southern Pacific Ocean. It is home to some of the world’s deepest ocean areas. It’s very hard to do research on marine mammals (海洋哺乳动物) if you don’t see them at sea,” Hendriks said. “You don’t know where to look.” Kirsten Young is a senior lecturer at the UK’s University of Exeter. She studies spade-toothed whales. She wrote in an email that it took many years and a lot of efforts by researchers and local people to identify the whales. “This new discovery makes me wonder how many there are in the deep ocean and how they live,” Young said. In fact, researchers studying the mammal couldn’t confirm if the species died out or went extinct, until in 2010, two spade toothed whales, both dead, appeared on a New Zealand beach. Samples of their cells later showed they were spade-toothed whales. 22. How does the author begin the text? A. By raising questions. B. By giving examples. C. By listing numbers. D. By making comparisons. 23. Why is the discovery of the spade-toothed whale important? A. It shows a new kind of whale exists. B. It identifies the whale by its place of death. C. It confirms the whale’s population is on the rise. D. It allows scientists to study the whale up close. 24. What did Hendriks stress about the spade-toothed whale research in paragraph 4? A. Its reasons. B. Its benefits. C. Its challenge. D. Its process. 25. What is Young’s attitude to the new discovery? A. Worried. B. Curious. C. Doubtful. D. Indifferent. 【答案】22. A 23. D 24. C 25. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，主要讲述了铲齿中喙鲸是世界上最稀有的鲸鱼种类，新西兰的科学家可能会通过最近在南岛海滩发现的一只死的铲齿中喙鲸来更多地了解它们，还介绍了研究这种鲸鱼的难度以及不同专家对这一发现的看法等。 【22题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Have you ever seen a live spade-toothed whale (铲齿中喙鲸)? It is the world’s rarest kind of whale. Do you know how many of them exist, what they eat, or even where they live in the southern Pacific Ocean? (你见过活着的铲齿中喙鲸吗？它是世界上最稀有的鲸鱼种类。你知道它们存在的数量有多少、吃什么，甚至它们在南太平洋的生活地点吗？)”可知，作者开篇提出了几个关于铲齿中喙鲸的问题，所以作者是通过提出问题的方式开始这篇文章的。故选A。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“In the past, only a few other dead spade-toothed whales appeared on New Zealand’s beaches. Most notably, scientists didn’t have a chance to closely examine them, but now, they will be able to. They have moved the whale to a cold place for their investigation. (在过去，只有少数其他死去的铲齿中喙鲸出现在新西兰的海滩上。最值得注意的是，科学家们没有机会仔细检查它们，但现在，他们将能够做到这一点。他们已经把这头鲸鱼移到一个寒冷的地方进行调查。)”可知，过去科学家没有机会仔细检查铲齿中喙鲸，而这次发现的死鲸被冲到了新西兰南岛的海滩上，科学家们可以将其移到一个寒冷的地方进行调查，即这次发现使得科学家能够近距离研究这种鲸鱼。故选D。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段““Spade tooth whales live deep in the ocean. They come to the surface so rarely that scientists only know their general location in the southern Pacific Ocean. It is home to some of the world’s deepest ocean areas. It’s very hard to do research on marine mammals (海洋哺乳动物) if you don’t see them at sea,” Hendriks said. “You don’t know where to look.””(铲齿中喙鲸生活在海洋深处。它们很少浮出水面，以至于科学家们只知道它们在南太平洋的大致位置。南太平洋是世界上一些最深的海洋区域的所在地。如果你在海上看不到它们，就很难对海洋哺乳动物进行研究，” 亨德里克斯说。“你不知道该往哪里找”。)”可知，Hendriks强调铲齿中喙鲸生活在海洋深处，很少浮出水面，很难进行研究。可推理出本段是在强调研究这种鲸鱼面临的挑战。故选C。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第五段“Kirsten Young is a senior lecturer at the UK’s University of Exeter. She studies spade-toothed whales. She wrote in an email that it took many years and a lot of efforts by researchers and local people to identify the whales. “This new discovery makes me wonder how many there are in the deep ocean and how they live,” Young said. (柯尔斯滕・扬是英国埃克塞特大学的一名高级讲师。她研究铲齿中喙鲸。她在一封电子邮件中写道，研究人员和当地民众花了很多年时间和大量精力才识别出这些鲸鱼。“这一新发现让我想知道在深海中有多少铲齿中喙鲸，以及它们是如何生活的，”扬说。)”可知，Young说这个新发现让她想知道在深海中有多少铲齿中喙鲸以及它们是如何生活的，由此可推断出她对这个新发现是感到好奇的。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。 First aid refers to the initial medical attention given immediately after an injury or an accident. ____26____ They think it's a job exclusive to medical professionals. In fact, it's a life skill we all should try to learn. According to The Guardian, over 150,000 people get critically injured or die yearly because of people's lack of first aid knowledge. That's a tall number considering we live in the modern age. Thus, more people must know what to do in case of accidents or medical emergencies. ____27____ We can reduce these life-threatening situations by learning the prompt care needed in such situations. Whether we like it or not, accidents and emergencies happen at any time. ____28____ In the USA alone, over six million people are involved in traffic accidents each year. In fact, it's the leading cause of death for people between the ages of 1 and 54. That said, no one can predict when or where disaster may strike. These accidents can happen at home, at work, or while in transit. That's why basic first aid skills like CPR, disinfecting (消毒) wounds, and learning to stop bleeding can go a long way. ____29____ It's a vital step that prevents injuries from worsening until full medical help arrives. For instance, when a person experiences cardiac arrest, they only have 3 to 4 minutes before the brain lacks oxygen. What you do in these minutes will impact the patient's condition. Calling for an ambulance is, of course, your priority. ____30____ A. Developed countries witness a greater death rate. B. But it might encounter traffic jams during rush hours. C. However, if you can employ CPR, it can relieve the damage. D. It's a part of our reality that we must always prepare ourselves for. E. The bad news is that not many people know the importance of first aid. F. Heart attacks and choking endanger thousands of lives on a yearly basis. G. The first few minutes are the most critical in the case of a medical emergency. 【答案】26. E 27. F 28. D 29. G 30.
