London Bridge Tower Commonly called the Shard()of Glass,it's an 87-storey skyscraper in London that forms part of the London Bridge Quarter development.It was designed by the Italian architect Renzo Piano.At 310 metres,it's the tallest building in Western Europe.The observation deck (on the top floor is open to the public. The Leadenhall Building Lying on 122 Leadenhall Street and called the "Cheesegrater"because of its wedge-like ( shape,it is the second tallest building in the City of London with a height of 224 metres.It was designed by Richard Rogers.There are exterior glass lifts on the building. 30 St Mary Axe Known informally as“the Gherkin(小黄瓜)”，it's a skyscraper in London's main financial district, the City of London.It was completed in December 2003 and opened in April 2004.With 41 floors,the tower is 180 metres tall.It was designed by Norman Foster and Arup engineers. 20 Fenchurch Street Nicknamed(给，.起绰号)the Walkie Talkie(对讲机)，it'sl60 metres tall and was designed by Uruguayan architect Rafael Vinoly.It has a large viewing deck and sky gardens on the top three floors, which are open to the public.However,the special shape of the building creates a sun ray that can reach temperatures of up to 70C,which is so powerful that it can burn carpets and start fires. 21.Which skyscraper will attract bird's-eye view enthusiasts most? A.London Bridge Tower. B.The Leadenhall Building. C.30 St Mary Axe. D.20 Fenchurch Street. 22.What is the disadvantage of the Walkie Talkie? A.High gardening costs. B.Overcrowded decks C.Extreme heat effects. D.Limited viewing angles. 23.What do the four skyscrapers have in common? A.All were designed by British architects. B.All are outside the financial district. C.All were completed after 2010. D.All have nicknames. B It was a normal day,Julia and I were working in the container checking the instruments and doing other routine opcrations when the phone rang.It was lan.He wanted to know if one of us could go 第2页共 CS扫描全能王 】亿人在用的扫描A outside to be their polar bear.guard for the next few hours.We looked at each other and it was soon decided that I would go.Julia had more work to do in the container. Obviously shooting was our last choice;there were a lot of other actions that needed to be taken beforehand in order to scare the bear away.But,if worse came to worst,we needed to be ready.The other reason for which a female"green hand like me was allowed to guard was that I would be working at the balloon site that is the closest to the ship.This means that in case a polar bear comes we could reach the ship in just a few minutes and thus it was really unlikely that I would have to use the gun. Being a polar bear guard is not the most exciting job out there:you have to stand in the cold, downwind from the group,from where the polar bear is likely to approach because of the smell,looking at the horizon for several hours.On the other hand,the guard job gives you a lot of time to think and reflect while staring at this breathtaking landscape.This is one of the reasons why I often volunteer to be a polar bear guard. I stayed outside only for a couple of hours but this was enough to refresh my brain with clean Arctic air and comc up with new ideas and thoughts to discuss with Julia,Ian and the other scientists on board, trying to solve a big puzzle of our observations.Similar"recreational"activities were one of the reasons why I enjoyed so much this expedition and I will certainly miss them afterwards! 24.Why does the author guard at the balloon site? A.To admire impressive landscapes. B To leave safely from here. C.To send off warning signals. D.To gather with her colleagues. 25.What does the author mention about her working place as a polar bear guard? A.It is frequently visited by polar bears. B.It is filled with various wildlife smells. C.It provides opportunities for reflection. D.It is extremely cold near the pole. 26.What does the author gain from the work shift? A.Friendship and joy. B.Confidence and courage. C.Responsibility and duty. D.Relaxation and insight. 27.What is the text most likely to be? A.A novel. B.A journal. C.A report. D.A review. C Dementia (is proving very difficult to treat with drugs,but perhaps there are brain-healthy things hiding in our diets.A study of more than 50,000 participants in the UK Biobank has found that people who eat a handful of nuts every day may lower their risk of all-cause dementia. Compared with people over the age of 60 who didn't eat nuts,those who reported having up to 30g of nuts a day had a 16%lower risk of developing dementia in the years to comc,but the result was only 反共6页 CS扫描全能王 】亿人在用的扫描A wi found in those who were not considered overweight,who get a normal amount of sleep,and who did not the smoke or drink daily. bi训 Health researcher Bruno Bizzozero-Peroni and his colleagues at Castilla-La Mancha drew on a group of people from the UK Biobank,enrolled (betwcen 2007 and 2012.Participants were tracked ev for an average of 7 years.Over the course of the study,the rate of all-cause dementia was 2.8%.Those wt who said they ate 30g of nuts a day were less likely to fall into that risk category. cal New evidence suggests that as many as 40%of dementia cases can be prevented or even delayed by changing certain lifestyle risk factors,like smoking,drinking,or exercising.Diet seems to be a key cor player.Several systematic reviews have found healthy diets,like the Mediterranean diet,are linked to a sn reduced risk of dementia.A recent study on 60,000 Britons found that following a Mediterranean diet decrcascs the risk of demcntia by as much as 23%.However,the numbers need to be studied further, ris especially since only a quarter of the UK Biobank participants reported regularly eating nuts. the 28.From whom are these results concluded? hav A.The participants younger than 60. nex B.The participants avoiding salted nuts. 32 C.The participants developing dementia. A. D.The participants having healthy living habits. B. 29.What does paragraph 3 mainly tell us about the study? C. A.Its process. B.Its cause. D." C.Its risk. D.Its significance. 33 30.What do we know from the last paragraph? A.1 A.Following a Mediterranean diet is good for people of all ages. C.F B.There is evidence to show diet is the key play to avoid dementia. 34 C.The study was carried out among 60,000 people eating nuts every day.

D.In a cooking brochure. B.( D c.( California has lost half its big trees since the 1930s according to a study published Tuesday.The D.( number of trees larger than two feet across has decreased by 50 percent on more than 46,000 square miles of (alifornia torests,the new study tinds.No area was spared or unatfected trom the toggy 第 northern coast to the Sierra Nevada Mountains to the San Gabriels above Los Angeles.In the Sierra high country,the number of big trees has fallen by more than 55 percent;in parts of southern California the 龙 多分 dccrcasc was nearly 75 percent. So serious is this issue that many environmentalists show their concern and try to figure out the sittir main reasons behind it.Many factors contributed to the decline,said Patrick MeIntyre,an ecologist who 第3页共6 CS扫描全能王 】亿人在用的扫描A was the lead author of the study.Woodcutters preferred big trees.Housing development encroached on the woods.Hcavy wildfire control has left California forcsts crowded with small trees that compete with big trees for resources. But a study of California forests also documented a widespread death of big trees that was clear even in wildlands protected from woodcutting or development.The loss of big trees was greatest in areas where trees had suffered the greatest water shortage.The researchers figured out water stress by calculating how much water trees were getting in comparison with how much they needed,taking into consideration such things as rainfall,air temperature,dampness (of soil and the timing of snowmelt(融雪). "Since the 1930s",MeIntyre said,"the biggest factors driving up water stress in the state have been rising temperatures,which cause trees to lose more water to the air,and earlier snowmelt,which reduces the water supply available to trees during the dry season.Although the government and organizations have been taking measures to deal with these problems,we may see even fewer big trees surviving in the next few decades,if these trends continue." 32.What's the purpose of the figures listed in Paragraph 1? A.To prove the seriousness of big-tree loss in California. B.To present the distribution of big trees in California forests. C.To compare the differences of big trees in the north and south D.To show the different decrease of big trees in different regions. 33.What does the underlined phrase"encroached on"in Paragraph 2 mean? A.Do good to. B.Take advantage of. C.Kept away from. D.Gave way to. 34.What is McIntyre's attitude towards the current situation of big trees from the last paragraph? A.Confident. B.Doubtful. C.Concerned. D.Praising. 35.What can be a suitable title for the text? A.California's Forests:Why Are Big Trees Important? B.California's Big Trees:Will Cutting Be Prohibited Soon? C.California's Forests:Where Have All the Big Trees Gone? D.California's Big Trees:Should More Be Grown in California? 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。 In every culture throughout time,the kitchen has had a powerfut influence.The simple practicc of sitting down together at the table gives us the chance to connect and communicate. 36 It depends on where you live,your age,and other factors,but the answer is,yes.Our intentions for :共6页 CS扫描全能王 】亿人在用的扫描A "home"are evolving. 37 Fast-paced lifestyles and work chedules make it hard to find time to shop for cries and prepare meals.nie food delivery services have takenfo.In10 Chincse wereordering foodnine.Throughou Europeninrdering is capuring6perent ofh market in Sweden and 43 percent in Austria.In India,online food ordering is expected to reach closeto $12m(US)by2023.
