He is doing a good job.” “Madam, I’ll even sweep your curb, so on Sunday you will have the prettiest lawn in all of Palm beach, Florida.” “No, thank you.” Instead of getting angry, the little boy smiled and put back the receiver gently.

But I appreciate your offer.” “But you were really pleading for a job when you were talking to the lady over the phone.” “No sir, I was just checking my performance on the job I already have.

For example, studies showed that rooms with lower ceilings (天花板) can make you more focused (专注), while rooms with higher ceilings can make you more creative. ②Connecting nature with buildings is good for our bodies and minds. A study by Heidelberg University in Germany found that people who grew up in the countryside are less likely to have mental (精神的) illnesses than those raised in cities. Vancouver, Canada, is a city surrounded (被围绕) by mountains and ocean. The city plans its buildings carefully so that tall ones don’t block (遮住) people’s views of the ocean and mountains. ③Architecture that has no soul (灵魂) can also influence our moods (心情), according to The Guardian. For example, in a study that took place in Lower Manhattan, New York City, people’s moods got worse as they walked past the boring glass in front of a supermarket. They even started walking faster, as if they wanted to get away quickly. However, when they reached lively restaurants and shops, their moods improved a lot. ④To make architecture more interesting, designers should avoid too many flat (平的) and straight designs. These kinds of designs don’t allow light and shadow to create interesting patterns. They also don’t fit well with nature, making buildings seem boring. To add life to architecture, designers should pick colors carefully to create different moods, according to Forbes. Bright colors like yellow and orange can make people feel energetic and happy, while calm colors like blue and green can help people feel relaxed. ⑤So, for your own well-being, surround yourself with buildings that make you happy and, ideally, let you see nature too. 38. Tom is an artist. He wants to have more new ideas. What kind of room can probably help him? A. A yellow-colored room. B. A room with higher ceilings. C. A room with lively grass. D. A room with lower ceilings. 39. The underlined word “They” in paragraph 4 refers to ________. A. buildings B. light and shadow C. colors D. flat and straight designs 40. Which architecture will probably be good for people’s mood? A. The architecture with many flat and straight designs. B. The architecture surrounded by other tall buildings. C. The architecture with views of the ocean and mountains D. The architecture with a supermarket in front of it. 41. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage? A. ①/②③④⑤ B. ①②/③④/⑤ C. ①/②③④/⑤ D. ①/②③/④⑤ 【答案】38. B 39. D 40. C 41. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了建筑环境如何影响人的身体和情绪。 【38题详解】 细节理解题。根据“For example, studies showed that rooms with lower ceilings (天花板) can make you more focused (专注), while rooms with higher ceilings can make you more creative.”可知，研究表明，天花板较低的房间可以让你更专注，而天花板较高的房间可以让你更有创造力。艺术家Tom想要有更多新的想法，天花板高的房间对他有帮助。故选B。 【39题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“To make architecture more interesting, designers should avoid too many flat (平的) and straight designs. These kinds of designs don’t allow light and shadow to create interesting patterns. They also don’t fit well with nature, making buildings seem boring.”可知，为了使建筑更有趣，设计师应该避免过多的平面和直线设计，这种设计不允许光影创造有趣的图案，它们也与自然格格不入，使建筑看起来很无聊。可以推测They指代的是“平面和直线设计”。故选D。 【40题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Connecting nature with buildings is good for our bodies and minds.”可知，将自然与建筑联系起来对我们的身心都有好处。可以推断，“可以看到海和山的建筑”对心情有好处。故选C。 【41题详解】 篇章结构题。第一段引入主题，建筑可以塑造人；第二、三、四段主要介绍了建筑如何影响人的身体和情绪；第五段进行总结，周围的建筑要让你开心，最好能让你看到大自然。故选C。 D Monarch butterflies (帝王蝶) are flying through Missouri (密苏里州) on their way to Mexico. Many American people love to see these bright-colored black-and-orange butterflies, but they need our help to stay safe and healthy. Every year, monarch butterflies travel south to Mexico in the fall and fly back next spring. As the monarchs go south, people in Missouri might start seeing more of these beautiful things. They’ve already been found in places like Kansas City, and even in smaller towns like St. Joseph. Sadly, the number of monarchs has dropped by 80% in the past twenty years. Monarch caterpillars (毛毛虫) need to eat milkweed (乳草) to grow. Much of the milkweed in the country is gone because of the overuse of herbicides (除草剂) in farming. Without these plants, monarchs have no place to live or find food. Monarchs plays an important role because, like bees, they can carry pollen (花粉), which help plants make seeds and fruit. Here are some things you can do to help these amazing butterflies: Plant Milkweed: This is the only plant where monarchs lay their eggs. By planting milkweed in your garden, you can give these butterflies a place to stop and rest during their trip. You can also plant other flowers to provide food for the adult butterflies. Take Photos: If you you see a monarch, take a photo and up load it to the Western Monarch Milkweed Mapper. You can help follow the movements of monarchs and understand where they are during the year, which is valuable information for researchers. Help Fight Global Warming: Changes in the weather are making life harder for monarchs. Bad weather hurts milkweed and when the temperature is too high or too low, it’s difficult for monarchs to grow up. By doing things to help the environment, like recycling and saving energy, you can help slow down global warming and protect the monarchs. 42. When is this passage probably written? A. In spring. B. In summer. C. In fall. D. In winter. 43. How did the number of monarch butterflies change in the past 20 years? A. B. C. D. 44. Why are monarch butterflies important? A. Because people enjoy seeing them in nature. B. Because bees need their support to carry pollen. C. Because they can help plants to grow. D. Because they can find food for other animals. 45. What can ordinary people do to help protect monarchs? A. They can keep monarchs in their own gardens. B. They can plant flowers as food for monarchs. C. They can take photos to follow the milkweed. D. They can stop using energy to help the environment. 【答案】42. C 43. A 44. C 45. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了黑脉帝王蝶的旅程以及帝王蝶的重要性，告诉人们要去保护黑脉帝王蝶。 【42题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Every year, monarch butterflies travel south to Mexico in the fall and fly back next spring.”可知，帝王蝶是在秋天向南旅行到墨西哥，所以这篇文章可能在秋天写的。故选C。 【43题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Sadly, the number of monarchs has dropped by 80% in the past twenty years.”可知，在过去20年内，帝王蝶的数量已经下降了80%，数量急剧减少，对应图形为A。。故选A。 【44题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Monarchs plays an important role because, like bees, they can carry pollen (花粉), which help plants make seeds and fruit.”可知，这里是指帝王蝶可以帮助植物生长。故选C。 【45题详解】 细节理解题。根据“You can also plant other flowers to provide food for the adult butterflies.”可知，可以种一些花卉来给帝王蝶提供食物。故选B。 E Many of us spent our childhoods dreaming of becoming astronauts. However, only a few would make it. But does that mean you’ll never get the chance to work in space? Not necessarily. In fact, some of the space jobs are not only for astronauts and they all sound just cool. One of the most interesting space jobs is “chief sniffer (嗅探员)”. NASA has already had a sniffer named George Aldrich, whose job is to smell materials before they are used in spaceships. Using your nose at work might sound a little strange, but the job is actually important. A spaceship is of small size and high temperature, which makes smells inside stronger. And once a spaceship is sent, astronauts have no ways to run away from unpleasant smells. More importantly, smelling objects can help find things that could do harm to astronauts’ health. Another job, the “space tour guide”, may seem a little ahead of its time—after all, there aren’t any tourists there. But now, many companies are starting to provide space trips and some rich space lovers have ordered the tours. It may not be long before space becomes one of the top travel destinations (目的地). Being a space tour guide requires rich knowledge to help passengers get the most out of their journey. Space tour guides also need to be excellent storytellers so that passengers can experience the true beauty of the space travel. Astronauts often spend long time in space with the same group of people, which is why a “space psychologist (心理学家)” is also needed to help astronauts overcome bad feelings. “We’re crossing the boundaries (界限) between science fiction and reality,” said Rohit Talwar, director of the US company Fast Future Research, “Things we’ve seen in movies are now becoming reality!” 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 46. How many space jobs are mentioned in the text? A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five. 47. What’s George Aldrich’s job at NASA mainly about? A. Cheering astronauts up with excellent stories. B. Cleaning up dangerous things found in spaceships. C. Checking the size and temperature of the spaceship. D. Keeping astronauts safe from things of unpleasant smells. 48. A space tour guide needs to be ________. A. helpful in relaxing and full of energy B. rich in money and interested in space C. excellent in knowledge and good at storytelling D. successful in research and active in communicating 49. What does Rohit Talwar think of future research in space? A. It’s relaxing. B. It’s moving. C. It’s exciting. D. It’s worrying. 50. What is the best title for the text? A. True beauty of space travel B. Bright future of space research C. Dangerous life of being a sniffer D. More choices of working in space 【答案】46. C 47. D 48. C 49. C 50. D 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了很多人的梦想是成为宇航员，但是很少能实现。除了成为宇航员以外，人们还有其他的机会可以在太空工作，比如嗅探员、太空导游和太空心理学家。 【46题详解】 细节理解题。根据“One of the most interesting space jobs is “chief sniffer (嗅探员)”.”，“Another job, the “space tour guide””和“which is why a “space psychologist (心理学家)” is also needed to help astronauts overcome bad feelings.”可知，一共提及了三种太空工作。故选C。 【47题详解】 细节理解题。根据“NASA has already had a sniffer named George Aldrich, whose job is to smell materials before they are used in spaceships.”和“More importantly, smelling objects can help find things that could do harm to astronauts’ health.”可知，George Aldrich的工作主要是让宇航员远离难闻的气味。故选D。 【48题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Being a space tour guide requires rich knowledge to help passengers get the most out of their journey. Space tour guides also need to be excellent storytellers so that passengers can experience the true beauty of the space travel.”可知，一个太空导游需要有很好的知识和讲故事的能力。故选C。 【49题详解】 推理判断题。根据““We’re crossing the boundaries (界限) between science fiction and reality,” said Rohit Talwar, director of the US company Fast Future Research, “Things we’ve seen in movies are now becoming reality!””可知，科幻小说中的场景或者电影中的场景有可能在现实生活中出现，应该是觉得很兴奋。故选C。 【50题详解】 最佳标题题。根据全文内容可知，本文介绍了很多人的梦想是成为宇航员，但是很少能实现。除了成为宇航员以外，人们还有其他的机会可以在太空工作，比如嗅探员、太空导游和太空心理学家。故最佳标题应该为D选项“更多在太空工作的选择”。故选D。 三、任务型阅读（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） The post-2000s generation (一代人) is often described as self-centered and always asking for help. ____51____ The post-2000s generation is independent, strong-minded and hardworking, according to a Peking University report. When it comes to learning and working, over 60 percent think their own interests are more important than others’ opinions. Most of them see successful businessmen as their idols. ____52____ “Their strong belief in themselves and never-give-up spirit have won the hearts of the generation,” the report said.

B One beautiful winter morning, a little boy of 10 years old or so went to a grocery shop to make a telephone call. Clearly, he changed his tone of voice while speaking over the phone. When all this was happening, the store owner observed and listened with great interest to the conversation that followed: “Madam, I am a poor boy. Can you give me a job cutting grass on your lawn?” the little boy asked. “Sorry, I already have someone to cut my lawn,” the woman at the other end of the phone line replied. “Madam, I will cut your lawn for half the price of the person who cuts your lawn now” “I’m very satisfied with the person who is presently cutting my lawn. He is doing a good job.” “Madam, I’ll even sweep your curb, so on Sunday you will have the prettiest lawn in all of Palm beach, Florida.” “No, thank you.” Instead of getting angry, the little boy smiled and put back the receiver gently. The store owner, who was listening to the conversation, walked over to the boy and said, “Son, I like your attitude (态度) and I would like to offer you a job.” “No, thanks. But I appreciate your offer.” “But you were really pleading for a job when you were talking to the lady over the phone.” “No sir, I was just checking my performance on the job I already have. I am the one who is working for that lady I was talking to!” the little boy replied. 34. What did the boy offer to do for the woman? A. Work for half the price of the other person. B.

For example, studies showed that rooms with lower ceilings (天花板) can make you more focused (专注), while rooms with higher ceilings can make you more creative. ②Connecting nature with buildings is good for our bodies and minds. A study by Heidelberg University in Germany found that people who grew up in the countryside are less likely to have mental (精神的) illnesses than those raised in cities. Vancouver, Canada, is a city surrounded (被围绕) by mountains and ocean. The city plans its buildings carefully so that tall ones don’t block (遮住) people’s views of the ocean and mountains. ③Architecture that has no soul (灵魂) can also influence our moods (心情), according to The Guardian. For example, in a study that took place in Lower Manhattan, New York City, people’s moods got worse as they walked past the boring glass in front of a supermarket. They even started walking faster, as if they wanted to get away quickly. However, when they reached lively restaurants and shops, their moods improved a lot. ④To make architecture more interesting, designers should avoid too many flat (平的) and straight designs. These kinds of designs don’t allow light and shadow to create interesting patterns. They also don’t fit well with nature, making buildings seem boring. To add life to architecture, designers should pick colors carefully to create different moods, according to Forbes. Bright colors like yellow and orange can make people feel energetic and happy, while calm colors like blue and green can help people feel relaxed. ⑤So, for your own well-being, surround yourself with buildings that make you happy and, ideally, let you see nature too. 38. Tom is an artist. He wants to have more new ideas. What kind of room can probably help him? A. A yellow-colored room. B. A room with higher ceilings. C. A room with lively grass. D. A room with lower ceilings. 39. The underlined word “They” in paragraph 4 refers to ________. A. buildings B. light and shadow C. colors D. flat and straight designs 40 Which architecture will probably be good for people’s mood? A. The architecture with many flat and straight designs. B. The architecture surrounded by other tall buildings. C. The architecture with views of the ocean and mountains D. The architecture with a supermarket in front of it. 41. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage? A. ①/②③④⑤ B. ①②/③④/⑤ C. ①/②③④/⑤ D. ①/②③/④⑤ D Monarch butterflies (帝王蝶) are flying through Missouri (密苏里州) on their way to Mexico. Many American people love to see these bright-colored black-and-orange butterflies, but they need our help to stay safe and healthy. Every year, monarch butterflies travel south to Mexico in the fall and fly back next spring. As the monarchs go south, people in Missouri might start seeing more of these beautiful things. They’ve already been found in places like Kansas City, and even in smaller towns like St. Joseph. Sadly, the number of monarchs has dropped by 80% in the past twenty years. Monarch caterpillars (毛毛虫) need to eat milkweed (乳草) to grow. Much of the milkweed in the country is gone because of the overuse of herbicides (除草剂) in farming. Without these plants, monarchs have no place to live or find food. Monarchs plays an important role because, like bees, they can carry pollen (花粉), which help plants make seeds and fruit. Here are some things you can do to help these amazing butterflies: Plant Milkweed: This is the only plant where monarchs lay their eggs. By planting milkweed in your garden, you can give these butterflies a place to stop and rest during their trip. You can also plant other flowers to provide food for the adult butterflies. Take Photos: If you you see a monarch, take a photo and up load it to the Western Monarch Milkweed Mapper. You can help follow the movements of monarchs and understand where they are during the year, which is valuable information for researchers. Help Fight Global Warming: Changes in the weather are making life harder for monarchs.

But does that mean you’ll never get the chance to work in space? Not necessarily. In fact, some of the space jobs are not only for astronauts and they all sound just cool. One of the most interesting space jobs is “chief sniffer (嗅探员)”. NASA has already had a sniffer named George Aldrich, whose job is to smell materials before they are used in spaceships. Using your nose at work might sound a little strange, but the job is actually important. A spaceship is of small size and high temperature, which makes smells inside stronger. And once a spaceship is sent, astronauts have no ways to run away from unpleasant smells. More importantly, smelling objects can help find things that could do harm to astronauts’ health. Another job, the “space tour guide”, may seem a little ahead of its time—after all, there aren’t any tourists there. But now, many companies are starting to provide space trips and some rich space lovers have ordered the tours. It may not be long before space becomes one of the top travel destinations (目的地). Being a space tour guide requires rich knowledge to help passengers get the most out of their journey. Space tour guides also need to be excellent storytellers so that passengers can experience the true beauty of the space travel. Astronauts often spend long time in space with the same group of people, which is why a “space psychologist (心理学家)” is also needed to help astronauts overcome bad feelings. “We’re crossing the boundaries (界限) between science fiction and reality,” said Rohit Talwar, director of the US company Fast Future Research, “Things we’ve seen in movies are now becoming reality!” 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 46.

Cleaning up dangerous things found in spaceships. C. Checking the size and temperature of the spaceship. D. Keeping astronauts safe from things of unpleasant smells. 48.

A. helpful in relaxing and full of energy B. rich in money and interested in space C. excellent in knowledge and good at storytelling D. successful in research and active in communicating 49. What does Rohit Talwar think of future research in space? A. It’s relaxing. B. It’s moving. C. It’s exciting. D. It’s worrying. 50. What is the best title for the text? A.
