Ordinary Monsters | By J. M. Miro Miro has temporarily abandoned literary fiction in favour of a new series of historical fantasy novels. Ordinary Monsters is about a group of children with magical gifts who come together and pool their powers to escape the bad shape-shifting man that’s going after them. Son of Elsewhere: A Memoir in Pieces | By Elamin Abdelmahmoud The soundtrack to The O. C., a drama series, and the strange beauty of Highway 401 were important factors in developing selfhood of Abdelmahmoud. This book describes his own experience of moving from Khartoum, Sudan, to Kingston, Canada, in the early 2000s at age 12. A Magic Steeped in Poison | By Judy I. Lin Harry Potter has his magic stick. And Ning, the heroine of Lin’s first novel, has tea, which in her world carries magical properties. Lin has created a pleasing Young Adult fantasy rich in Chinese mythology (神话). In this book, Ning enters a competition to find the most gifted tea master, Shennong. A Ballet of Lepers | By Leonard Cohen Unlike many other posthumous (死后出版的) works, you can count on Cohen’s to be worth your wait. Before his death, he said that the novel contained in the book, which was never published, was likely better than The Favourite Game, a novel he published during his lifetime. This book also includes a radio play script (剧本) and a handful of short stories. 1. Which book is a mirror of the author’s life story? A. Ordinary Monsters. B. Son of Elsewhere: A Memoir in Pieces.

(这本书描述了他在21世纪初12岁时从苏丹喀土穆搬到加拿大金斯敦的亲身经历。)”可知Son of Elsewhere: A Memoir in Pieces这本书反映了作者的生活故事，故选B。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Ordinary Monsters | By J. M. Miro中的“Ordinary Monsters is about a group of children with magical gifts who come together and pool their powers to escape the bad shape-shifting man that’s going after them. (Ordinary Monsters讲述的是一群拥有魔法天赋的孩子聚集在一起，聚集他们的力量，逃离追杀他们的坏变形人的故事。)”和A Magic Steeped in Poison | By Judy I. Lin中的“Harry Potter has his magic stick. And Ning, the heroine of Lin’s first novel, has tea, which in her world carries magical properties. (哈利·波特有他的魔棒。林的第一部小说的女主人公宁，有茶，在她的世界里承载着神奇的特性。)”可知第一本书和第三本书都是和魔法相关的，它们都是基于一个想象的世界。故选B。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据A Ballet of Lepers | By Leonard Cohen中的“This book also includes a radio play script (剧本) and a handful of short stories. (这本书还包括一个广播剧剧本和一些短篇故事。)”可知这本书是一本合集。故选A。 B Do you ever get to the train station and realize you forgot to bring something to read? Yes, we all have our phones, but many of us still like to go old school and read something printed. Well, there’s a kiosk (小亭) for that. In the San Francisco Bay Area, at least. “You enter the fare gates (检票口) and you’ll see a kiosk that is lit up and it tells you can get a one-minute, a three-minute, or a five-minute story,” says Alicia Trost, the chief communications officer for the San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit — known as BART. “You choose which length you want and it gives you a receipt-like short story.” It’s that simple. Riders have printed nearly 20,000 short stories and poems since the program was launched last March. Some are classic short stories, and some are new original works. Trost also wants to introduce local writers to local riders. “We wanted to do something where we do a call to artists in the Bay Area to submit stories for a contest,” Trost says. “And as of right now, we’ve received about 120 submissions. The winning stories would go into our kiosk and then you would be a published artist.” Ridership on transit (交通) systems across the country has been down the past half century, so could short stories save transit? Trost thinks so. “At the end of the day all transit agencies right now are doing everything they can to improve the rider experience. So I absolutely think we will get more riders just because of short stories,” she says. And you’ll never be without something to read. 4. Why did BART start the kiosk program? A. To promote the local culture. B. To discourage phone use. C. To meet passengers’ needs. D. To reduce its running costs. 5. How are the stories categorized in the kiosk? A. By popularity. B. By length. C. By theme. D. By language. 6. What has Trost been doing recently? A. Organizing a story contest. B. Doing a survey of customers. C. Choosing a print publisher. D. Conducting interviews with artists. 7 What is Trost’s opinion about BART’s future? A. It will close down. B. Its profits will decline. C. It will expand nationwide. D. Its ridership will increase. 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. A 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。主要报道了旧金山湾区捷运系统(BART)推出自动售货亭提供短篇故事打印服务，旨在满足乘客阅读需求，提升出行体验，Trost认为此举措能吸引更多乘客，对BART的未来持乐观态度，预期乘客量将会增长。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段““You enter the fare gates (检票口) and you’ll see a kiosk that is lit up and it tells you can get a one-minute, a three-minute, or a five-minute story,” says Alicia Trost, the chief communications officer for the San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit - known as BART. “You choose which length you want and it gives you a receipt-like short story.”(旧金山湾区捷运系统（BART）首席通讯官Alicia Trost表示：“你进入检票口，会看到一个亮着灯的信息亭，它告诉你可以得到一分钟、三分钟或五分钟的报道。你可以选择你想要的长度，它会给你一个类似收据的短篇故事。”)”可知，BART启动信息亭是为了满足乘客在乘车过程中的阅读需求，为他们提供不同长度的短篇故事或诗歌来打发时间。故选C项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“You choose which length you want and it gives you a receipt-like short story.(你可以选择你想要的长度，它会给你一个类似收据的短篇故事)”可知，信息亭中的故事按长度分类，乘客可以根据自己的需求选择不同长度的故事。故选B项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“We wanted to do something where we do a call to artists in the Bay Area to submit stories for a contest,(我们想做一些事情，呼吁湾区的艺术家为比赛提交故事)”以及第六段“The winning stories would go into our kiosk and then you would be a published artist.(获奖故事会进入我们的书报亭，然后你就会成为一名出版艺术家)”可知，Trost最近在组织一个故事竞赛，向湾区的艺术家征集故事，获胜作品将被放入书报亭供乘客阅读。故选A项。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段““At the end of the day all transit agencies right now are doing everything they can to improve the rider experience. So I absolutely think we will get more riders just because of short stories,” she says.(她说：“归根结底，所有的交通机构现在都在尽一切努力改善乘客体验。所以我绝对认为，我们会因为短篇小说而吸引更多的乘客。”)”可知，Trost认为通过提升乘客体验，包括提供短篇故事阅读服务，BART可以吸引更多的乘客，乘客量将会增加。故选D项。 C Turning on the air conditioning can bring sweet relief from the heat. But your resulting energy bill? Not so much. What if your home could stay cool all on its own? That’s the premise (前提) of Zheng Yi’s new invention. The associate professor at Northeastern University in Boston has created a sustainable material that can be used to make buildings or other objects able to keep cool without relying on conventional cooling systems. Zheng imagines this material covering the roofs of houses or other buildings. The material, which Zheng has named “cooling paper”, has light colors and internal microstructure with many small holes. It reflects those warm solar rays away from the building, and it also absorbs heat inside—heat that is from electronics, cooking and human bodies. Cooling paper is, in fact, made of paper. One day, Zheng saw a container full of used printing paper. He thought to himself, “How could we simply transform that waste material into some functional energy material?” So, with the help of a high-speed blender (搅拌机) from his kitchen, Zheng made a pulp (浆状物) out of it and the material that makes up Teflon, a type of plastic. He then made it into waterproof “cooing paper” that could coat homes. Then, he and his team tested its ability to keep cool: it can reduce temperatures by as much as 6℃. He selected materials that would reduce the cost of using the new technology to cool homes. The cooling paper isn’t just green in its ability to reduce your energy footprint. The material can be used, exposed to solar radiation and varying temperatures, and then reduced to a pulp (again) and remade without losing any of its cooling properties. “That is incredible!” Zheng says. “We thought there would be maybe 10 to 20 percent of loss, but no. It’s just as well as the original.” 8. On what basis is Zheng’s new invention created? A. Relieving the discomforts of the heat. B. Improving traditional cooling systems. C. Cooling the air without electricity. D. Reducing electricity use and costs. 9. What does the author say about the material in paragraph 2? A. It works in two ways. B. It’s complexly structured. C. It has limited applications. D. It’s available in dark colors. 10. Where did Zheng get inspiration for the cooling paper? A. From Teflon. B. From a pulp. C. From the blender. D. From the wastepaper. 11. Which aspect of the cooling paper is mainly stressed in the last paragraph? A. Its practicality. B. Its recyclability. C. Its heat resistance. D. Its user-friendliness. 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. D 11. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了波士顿东北大学的副教授郑义发明了一种可持续材料“冷却纸”，它可以在不依赖于传统的冷却系统的前提下冷却空气。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段关键句“Turning on the air conditioning can bring sweet relief from the heat. But your resulting energy bill?”（打开空调可以缓解炎热的天气。但你由此产生的能源账单呢？）和“What if your home could stay cool all on its own? That’s the premise (前提) of Zheng Yi’s new invention.”（如果你的家可以自己保持凉爽呢？这就是郑义新发明的前提。）可知，郑义新发明的前提是让房子可以自己保持凉爽，而不借助空调的力量，即不借助电力，由此可知，郑的新发明的基础是在没有电的情况下冷却空气。故选C项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段关键句“It reflects those warm solar rays away from the building, and it also absorbs heat inside—heat that is from electronics, cooking and human bodies.”（它将那些温暖的太阳光线反射出建筑物，还吸收来自电子设备、烹饪和人体的热量。）可知，这种材料一方面可以将温暖的太阳光线反射出建筑物，一方面可以吸收来自电子设备、烹饪和人体的热量，由此可知，这种材料以两种方式产生作用。故选A项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段关键句“Cooling paper is, in fact, made of paper. One day, Zheng saw a container full of used printing paper. He thought to himself, “How could we simply transform that waste material into some functional energy material?””（事实上，冷却纸是由纸制成的。一天，郑看到一个装满用过的打印纸的容器。他心想：“我们怎么能简单地把这些废料转化为一些功能性能源材料呢？”）和“He then made it into waterproof “cooing paper” that could coat homes.”（然后，他将其制成防水的“冷却纸”，可以覆盖房屋。）可知，用过的打印纸激发了他制造“冷却纸”的灵感，最后成功制造出“冷却纸”，由此可知，郑制造“冷却纸”的灵感来自废纸。故选D项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段关键句“The material can be used, exposed to solar radiation and varying temperatures, and then reduced to a pulp (again) and remade without losing any of its cooling properties.”（这种材料可以使用，暴露在太阳辐射和不同的温度下，然后（再次）还原成纸浆并重新制作，而不会失去任何冷却性能。）可知，这种材料可以回收利用，还原成纸浆并重新制作，而不会失去任何冷却性能，由此可知，最后一段主要强调了冷却纸的可回收性。故选B项。 D Parks are the beating hearts of cities, providing crucial environments for wildlife of many sizes as well as areas of rest and recreation for local citizens. Accessible via public transport, and located near a university, a stadium and the National Library, Warsaw’s Pole Mokotowskie Park provides green space for many people. One of the International Union for Conservation of Nature’s five pathways to transformative change for water management is to restore species population, ecosystems and the benefits that nature provides to people by using each city’s advantage. As more urban centres seek new ways to unite greenery into the built environment, projects of all sizes and stages add to essential corridors and stopping points for a range of wildlife. Tasked with improving Warsaw’s Pole Mokotowskie Park’s natural sustainability, architecture company WXCA looked at ways of enhancing the elements that were already in place to better support wildlife. One of the most visible means was the removal of thousands of square metres of concrete (混凝土). Removing concrete in and around ponds and other waterways allows the city’s features to shape themselves naturally, in reaction to both the surrounding environment and the weather. Doing so can support biodiversity by removing artificial constraints and flows. More than 13,000 square metres of concrete has already been removed, with more removal planned over the next year. For the human users of the park, the designers created education, activity, and art spaces. The Grand Salon, a grassland surrounded by trees, is for large public gatherings, and a handful of pavilions (亭) spread throughout the space provide visible means of monitoring the quality of the air and water. They also contribute to the park’s ecosystem through rainwater harvesting. As the temperature consistently rises, city planners are using the leaves and branches of the plants and mixed use designs to reduce heat islands, improve air quality and prevent urban runoff. 12. What do we know about Warsaw’s Pole Mokotowskie Park? A. It creates a new way to the city center. B. It serves different community groups. C. It reminds the public to protect the environment. D. It shows the locals are living happily. 13. What are the projects in paragraph 2 intended for? A. Providing stages to show off creativity. B. Taking advantage of the city’s resources. C. Encouraging people to get close to nature. D. Supplying various wildlife with more room. 14. What does the underlined word “constraints” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Limits. B. Factors. C. Methods. D. Damages. 15. How do the pavilions help the ecosystem? A. By offering some shelters. B. By collecting rainwater. C. By monitoring the air quality. D. By reducing high temperature. 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了公园是城市跳动的心脏，为各种规模的野生动物提供了重要的环境，也为当地居民提供了休息和娱乐的场所。文章以华沙的Pole mokotowski公园为例，说明了公园对于生态所起到的积极作用。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Parks are the beating hearts of cities, providing crucial environments for wildlife of many sizes as well as areas of rest and recreation for local citizens. Accessible via public transport, and located near a university, a stadium and the National Library, Warsaw’s Pole Mokotowskie Park provides green space for many people.(公园是城市跳动的心脏，为各种规模的野生动物提供了重要的环境，也为当地居民提供了休息和娱乐的场所。华沙的Pole mokotowsky公园位于一所大学、一个体育场和国家图书馆附近，可通过公共交通到达，为许多人提供了绿色空间)”可知，华沙的Pole mokotowski公园服务于不同的社区群体。故选B。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“As more urban centres seek new ways to unite greenery into the built environment, projects of all sizes and stages add to essential corridors and stopping points for a range of wildlife.(随着越来越多的城市中心寻求将绿色植物融入建筑环境的新方法，各种规模和阶段的项目都增加了必要的走廊和一系列野生动物的停止点)”可知，第2段的项目目的是为各种野生动物提供更多的空间。故选D。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“Removing concrete in and around ponds and other waterways allows the city’s features to shape themselves naturally, in reaction to both the surrounding environment and the weather.(去除池塘和其他水道内及其周围的混凝土，使城市的特征自然地形成，以应对周围的环境和天气)”以及“Doing so can support biodiversity by removing artificial”可知，去除池塘和其他水道内及其周围的混凝土可以消除人为的限制和流动，从而支持生物多样性。故划线词意思是“限制”。故选A。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“They also contribute to the park’s ecosystem through rainwater harvesting.(它们还通过雨水收集为公园的生态系统做出了贡献)”可知，展馆通过收集雨水帮助生态系统。故选B。 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） Patience is something that many of us struggle with.

After all, we live in a world of instant satisfaction and overnight shipping. We can have anything that we want delivered to our doorstep right away. We can pick from a variety of entertainment options at any given moment. (耐心是我们很多人都很难做到的事情。我知道我确实是一个很难应付延误的人。毕竟，我们生活在一个即时满足和一夜送达的世界。我们想要的任何东西都可以马上送到家门口。我们可以随时从各种各样的娱乐选择中进行选择。)”可知在现在这个快节奏的社会，我们可以很快就得到我们想要的东西，所以我们就更难保持耐心了。F选项“因此，对我们大多数人来说，保持耐心变得越来越困难了。”符合本段意思，并且引出对下文的话题，很多事情我们还是需要培养耐心，故选F。 【17题详解】 根据上文“The truth of the matter is, however, that anything good rarely happens quickly. (然而，事情的真相是，好事很少发生得很快。)”和下文“You have to develop your patience over time by taking real action. (你必须通过采取实际行动来培养你的耐心。)”可知好的事情还是需要很长时间的，这样我们就必须要培养耐心来获得好的事情，A选项“这通常需要很多工作和很长时间的等待。”起到承上启下的作用，并且选项中“it”指代上文的“anything good”，故选A。 【18题详解】 根据上文“Make yourself wait on things. This can include eating, purchasing items, or taking any sort of action. (让你自己做事等一等。这可以包括吃饭，购买物品，或采取任何形式的行动。)”可知是让自己去等待，锻炼耐心，G选项“努力克服让你焦虑的事情，强迫自己等待。”紧密承接上文，符合题意，故选G。 【19题详解】 根据下文“Sometimes pause actually means there is hope. Perhaps you’ll meet a lot of wonderful people while waiting in line, or you will find that something put off is actually better in the future. (有时候停顿其实意味着希望。也许你会在排队的时候遇到很多很棒的人，或者你会发现推迟的事情实际上在未来会更好。)”可知本段说的是延迟也会带来好的一面，C选项“教你自己看到延迟的光明面。”符合本段主旨，故选C。 【20题详解】 根据上文“Understand that life is full of delays. (要明白生活充满了延迟。)”可知生活到处充满延迟，所以我们想要获得好的事情就要有耐心， D选项“没有一条通往幸福或成功的坦途。”是对上文的进一步解释，并且引出下文“If there were delays, we would all have to accept. Ups and downs are what build character, and often, the longer we wait, the more we enjoy it. (如果有延迟，我们都必须接受。起起落落是塑造性格的过程，通常，我们等待的时间越长，我们就越享受其中。)”可知要想成功，就必须接受这些延迟，越有耐心，越能享受到快乐，故选D。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 （共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） When I was a child, my family went to the beach often.

Our range and woods offered plenty of grass for six horses. However, spring thunderstorms during the past ten days had forced the nearby river out of its banks. The other horses had come to the barn (畜棚) during the downpour, but not Ginger or Charcoal. When the rain stopped, I took Spot, our dog, to do some first-hand searching. We went through trees and brush in wet lowlands near the river. All my calling and Spot’s smelling were in vain. The next morning, the sun struggled to shine through gray clouds, but dampness filled the air. Suddenly, Danny shouted, “Mom, come quick! There’s Ginger!” The horse stood at the range gate crying impatiently and moving back and forth as if to say “Follow me”. “Hurry, Danny,” I said, “get the pot with some oats (燕麦). I will bring a rope.” Ginger walked in front and we followed. “I see him! I see him!” Danny shouted. Charcoal was lying on his side, not moving. His right back leg was badly injured. “Oh, Mom. How long do you think he’s been lying here with no food and nobody to care for him?” Tears formed in Danny’s blue eyes. “Probably several days, but we’ll never know. Ginger took care of him, though, protecting him from attacks from hungry wolves or other wild animals,” I said. “What can we do now?” Danny asked anxiously. “There’s no way to drive a vehicle down here in all this mud.” “We just have to get him up and lead him out,” I said, keeping my voice confident. “Afterwards, we’ll have to call the vet (兽医) out.” 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 With our encouragement and the attraction of oats, Charcoal struggled and managed to stand up. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Upon arriving at the barn, Danny started creating a bed for Charcoal. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1: With our encouragement and the attraction of oats, Charcoal struggled and managed to stand up. Though his eyes were dull with pain, he was brave enough to respond to our efforts. This was surely the force of life over death! Danny, with the pot, marched up the rocky slippery path through the woods, and I steadied injured Charcoal, encouraging him to follow. The hike which was ordinarily just 30 minutes now took over two hours. Charcoal could only hop with three legs for a few yards, and then rest, while we encouraged him to continue. Finally, our barn came into sight. Paragraph 2: Upon arriving at the barn, Danny started creating a bed for Charcoal. I hurried to phone the vet to come as soon as possible. After cleaning Charcoal’s wounds and medicating him, the vet told us, “His injury would heal, but you’ll need to treat the leg every day for several weeks, maybe longer.” He showed Danny exactly how to apply the medicine and cover the wounds. When I was watching my son carefully tend Charcoal, a thought just naturally came to mind: Bad things may happen somewhere, but love is everywhere, not only between humans, animals, but also between humans and animals. 【解析】 【导语】本文以故事的发展为线索展开，讲述了作者家的两匹马Ginger和它的孩子Charcoal在一次大雨过后失踪了，作者与儿子四处寻找，第二天母马Ginger来到牧场寻求帮助，他们在一处灌木中找到了后腿受伤的Charcoal，于是作者与孩子想法救治这匹小马Charcoal。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“在我们的鼓励和燕麦的吸引下，Charcoal挣扎着站了起来。”可知，第一段可描写作者和孩子救治Charcoal的经过。 ②由第二段首句内容“一到谷仓，丹尼就开始为Charcoal做床。”以及原文尾句提到了给兽医打电话可知，第二段可描写兽医救治Charcoal以及作者对此次事件感悟。 2.续写线索：Charcoal站起来——鼓励前行——到达谷仓——兽医医治Charcoal——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①对……作出回应：respond to/react to/in response to ②出现：came into sight/show up/turn up ③涂抹：apply/spread on 情绪类 ①匆忙：hurried/rush/in a hurry ②小心：carefully/with care/with caution 【点睛】[高分句型1].

Danny, with the pot, marched up the rocky slippery path through the woods, and I steadied (扶稳) injured Charcoal, encouraging him to follow. （运用了现在分词作状语） [高分句型3].

Ordinary Monsters | By J. M. Miro Miro has temporarily abandoned literary fiction in favour of a new series of historical fantasy novels. Ordinary Monsters is about a group of children with magical gifts who come together and pool their powers to escape the bad shape-shifting man that’s going after them. Son of Elsewhere: A Memoir in Pieces | By Elamin Abdelmahmoud The soundtrack to The O. C., a drama series, and the strange beauty of Highway 401 were important factors in developing selfhood of Abdelmahmoud. This book describes his own experience of moving from Khartoum, Sudan, to Kingston, Canada, in the early 2000s at age 12. A Magic Steeped in Poison | By Judy I. Lin Harry Potter has his magic stick. And Ning, the heroine of Lin’s first novel, has tea, which in her world carries magical properties. Lin has created a pleasing Young Adult fantasy rich in Chinese mythology (神话). In this book, Ning enters a competition to find the most gifted tea master, Shennong. A Ballet of Lepers | By Leonard Cohen Unlike many other posthumous (死后出版) works, you can count on Cohen’s to be worth your wait. Before his death, he said that the novel contained in the book, which was never published, was likely better than The Favourite Game, a novel he published during his lifetime. This book also includes a radio play script (剧本) and a handful of short stories. 1. Which book is a mirror of the author’s life story? A. Ordinary Monsters. B. Son of Elsewhere: A Memoir in Pieces. C. A Magic Steeped in Poison. D. A Ballet of Lepers. 2. What do the first and third books have in common? A. They are about teamwork. B. They are based on an imaginary world. C. They both involve Chinese characters. D. They draw inspiration from other novels. 3. What can be inferred about A Ballet of Lepers? A. It is a collection. B. It is Cohen’s best novel. C.

Yes, we all have our phones, but many of us still like to go old school and read something printed. Well, there’s a kiosk (小亭) for that. In the San Francisco Bay Area, at least. “You enter the fare gates (检票口) and you’ll see a kiosk that is lit up and it tells you can get a one-minute, a three-minute, or a five-minute story,” says Alicia Trost, the chief communications officer for the San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit — known as BART. “You choose which length you want and it gives you a receipt-like short story.” It’s that simple. Riders have printed nearly 20,000 short stories and poems since the program was launched last March. Some are classic short stories, and some are new original works. Trost also wants to introduce local writers to local riders. “We wanted to do something where we do a call to artists in the Bay Area to submit stories for a contest,” Trost says. “And as of right now, we’ve received about 120 submissions. The winning stories would go into our kiosk and then you would be a published artist.” Ridership on transit (交通) systems across the country has been down the past half century, so could short stories save transit? Trost thinks so. “At the end of the day all transit agencies right now are doing everything they can to improve the rider experience. So I absolutely think we will get more riders just because of short stories,” she says. And you’ll never be without something to read. 4. Why did BART start the kiosk program? A. To promote the local culture. B. To discourage phone use. C. To meet passengers’ needs. D. To reduce its running costs. 5. How are the stories categorized in the kiosk? A. By popularity. B. By length. C. By theme. D. By language. 6. What has Trost been doing recently? A. Organizing a story contest. B. Doing a survey of customers. C. Choosing a print publisher. D. Conducting interviews with artists. 7. What is Trost’s opinion about BART’s future? A. It will close down. B. Its profits will decline. C. It will expand nationwide. D. Its ridership will increase. C Turning on the air conditioning can bring sweet relief from the heat. But your resulting energy bill? Not so much. What if your home could stay cool all on its own? That’s the premise (前提) of Zheng Yi’s new invention. The associate professor at Northeastern University in Boston has created a sustainable material that can be used to make buildings or other objects able to keep cool without relying on conventional cooling systems. Zheng imagines this material covering the roofs of houses or other buildings. The material, which Zheng has named “cooling paper”, has light colors and internal microstructure with many small holes. It reflects those warm solar rays away from the building, and it also absorbs heat inside—heat that is from electronics, cooking and human bodies. Cooling paper is, in fact, made of paper. One day, Zheng saw a container full of used printing paper. He thought to himself, “How could we simply transform that waste material into some functional energy material?” So, with the help of a high-speed blender (搅拌机) from his kitchen, Zheng made a pulp (浆状物) out of it and the material that makes up Teflon, a type of plastic. He then made it into waterproof “cooing paper” that could coat homes. Then, he and his team tested its ability to keep cool: it can reduce temperatures by as much as 6℃. He selected materials that would reduce the cost of using the new technology to cool homes. The cooling paper isn’t just green in its ability to reduce your energy footprint. The material can be used, exposed to solar radiation and varying temperatures, and then reduced to a pulp (again) and remade without losing any of its cooling properties. “That is incredible!” Zheng says. “We thought there would be maybe 10 to 20 percent of loss, but no. It’s just as well as the original.” 8. On what basis is Zheng’s new invention created? A. Relieving the discomforts of the heat. B. Improving traditional cooling systems. C. Cooling the air without electricity. D. Reducing electricity use and costs. 9. What does the author say about the material in paragraph 2? A. It works in two ways. B. It’s complexly structured. C. It has limited applications. D. It’s available in dark colors. 10. Where did Zheng get inspiration for the cooling paper? A. From Teflon. B. From a pulp. C. From the blender. D. From the wastepaper. 11. Which aspect of the cooling paper is mainly stressed in the last paragraph? A. Its practicality. B. Its recyclability. C. Its heat resistance. D. Its user-friendliness. D Parks are the beating hearts of cities, providing crucial environments for wildlife of many sizes as well as areas of rest and recreation for local citizens. Accessible via public transport, and located near a university, a stadium and the National Library, Warsaw’s Pole Mokotowskie Park provides green space for many people. One of the International Union for Conservation of Nature’s five pathways to transformative change for water management is to restore species population, ecosystems and the benefits that nature provides to people by using each city’s advantage. As more urban centres seek new ways to unite greenery into the built environment, projects of all sizes and stages add to essential corridors and stopping points for a range of wildlife. Tasked with improving Warsaw’s Pole Mokotowskie Park’s natural sustainability, architecture company WXCA looked at ways of enhancing the elements that were already in place to better support wildlife. One of the most visible means was the removal of thousands of square metres of concrete (混凝土). Removing concrete in and around ponds and other waterways allows the city’s features to shape themselves naturally, in reaction to both the surrounding environment and the weather. Doing so can support biodiversity by removing artificial constraints and flows. More than 13,000 square metres of concrete has already been removed, with more removal planned over the next year. For the human users of the park, the designers created education, activity, and art spaces. The Grand Salon, a grassland surrounded by trees, is for large public gatherings, and a handful of pavilions (亭) spread throughout the space provide visible means of monitoring the quality of the air and water. They also contribute to the park’s ecosystem through rainwater harvesting. As the temperature consistently rises, city planners are using the leaves and branches of the plants and mixed use designs to reduce heat islands, improve air quality and prevent urban runoff. 12.

Our range and woods offered plenty of grass for six horses. However, spring thunderstorms during the past ten days had forced the nearby river out of its banks. The other horses had come to the barn (畜棚) during the downpour, but not Ginger or Charcoal. When the rain stopped, I took Spot, our dog, to do some first-hand searching. We went through trees and brush in wet lowlands near the river. All my calling and Spot’s smelling were in vain. The next morning, the sun struggled to shine through gray clouds, but dampness filled the air. Suddenly, Danny shouted, “Mom, come quick! There’s Ginger!” The horse stood at the range gate crying impatiently and moving back and forth as if to say “Follow me”. “Hurry, Danny,” I said, “get the pot with some oats (燕麦). I will bring a rope.” Ginger walked in front and we followed. “I see him! I see him!” Danny shouted. Charcoal was lying on his side, not moving. His right back leg was badly injured. “Oh, Mom. How long do you think he’s been lying here with no food and nobody to care for him?” Tears formed in Danny’s blue eyes. “Probably several days, but we’ll never know. Ginger took care of him, though, protecting him from attacks from hungry wolves or other wild animals,” I said. “What can we do now?” Danny asked anxiously. “There’s no way to drive a vehicle down here in all this mud.” “We just have to get him up and lead him out,” I said, keeping my voice confident. “Afterwards, we’ll have to call the vet (兽医) out.” 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 With our encouragement and the attraction of oats, Charcoal struggled and managed to stand up. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Upon arriving at the barn, Danny started creating a bed for Charcoal. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
