If you want to take a screen break, Highland Park is just a short distance from College Town. The park is home to the annual Lilac (紫丁香) Festival in mid-May, with beautiful colors to be found all around. Although the lilacs may not be blooming, the park is a nice spot for you to relax yourself. Watch a film at Roc Cinema. Roc Cinema offers low-priced movie tickets for students — $7 with student ID. Apart from movies, Roc Cinema also feature comedy open mics and showcases. Walk with animals at the Seneca Park Zoo. The zoo can take your worries off your work as you hang out with some of your favorite animals. Located along the Genesee River, the tickets are budget-friendly at $12 for adults, for any college student and the zoo allows for a fun, anxiety-free trip. Catch a performance at the Geva Theatre. Downtown, the Geva Theatre features frequent live performances of shows that range from popular musicals and plays to showcases and speeches. The theatre also puts on live discussions with the cast and crew of their seasonal shows during their “Sunday Salon”. Relive your childhood in the National Museum of Play. The museum is easily recognizable from its yard, which features iconography from classic board games, just hinting at the museum’s love for games and toys. Before going, it’s best to plan ahead; the sheer amount of experiential things to do is worth a whole day trip. 1. What do Highland Park and the Seneca Park Zoo have in common? A. They are nice places to relax. B. They sell tickets at a low price. C. They are located not far from the city. D. They are home to animals and flowers. 2. Which spot suits people who are interested in playing games? A. Roc Cinema. B. The Seneca Park Zoo. C. The Geva Theatre. D. The National Museum of Play. 3. Where is the passage probably taken from? A. A short story. B. A book review. C. A travel brochure. D. A science report. B Not surprisingly, dogs are famous for their unusual and super snouts (口鼻部). Those sensitive noses are good at finding food and observing neighborhood like checking out new dogs, people and places. In the past thousands of years, hunters have trained dogs to track prey. Today, dogs do have many jobs. They find injured people after earthquakes and other disasters. Besides, they help fight crime by sniffing out illegal drugs and explosives. And because of the dog’s nose, stinkbugs and bedbugs have nowhere to hide. Recent studies have shown that dogs can even detect some diseases in humans. How does a dog’s nose perform these wonderful abilities? It’s 10,000 to 100,000 times more sensitive than the human nose, at least for some smells. As in our nose, the airway in a dog’s nose has lining (黏膜) that senses smells. In a human nose, the lining is the size of a quarter. In a German shepherd’s nose, it’s as big as a DVD. That huge surface has lots of folds that help it fit inside the dog’s snout. Like a crumpled sheet of paper, it has a lot of surfaces packed into a small space. During a sniff, air flows over the lining. Nerve endings in the lining detect smell chemicals in the air. The nerves send signals to the brain, telling it which smells they detected. The dog’s large lining may have two billion smell detectors. That’s up to 167 times more than our 12 million to 40 million. And the smelling part of a dog’s brain is three times bigger than the same part of human brain. The dog’s brain has to process a lot of smell data coming in from the nose- but it can handle the job. 4. What can we learn about dogs from the first two paragraphs? A. They are good at delivering food. B. They help check the accident by sniffing. C. They are trained to find animals today. D. They can discover some human illnesses. 5. What does the underlined word “crumpled” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Smooth. B. Wrinkled. C. Clean. D. Unfolded. 6. How does the author organize the last paragraph? A. By listing different studies. B. By making a comparison. C. By introducing general rules. D. By analyzing the cause and effect. 7. What’s the best title of the whole passage? A. What Are the Jobs Dogs Do? B. How do Dogs Protect Humans? C. What Makes a Dog’s Nose so Powerful? D. How do Dogs Detect Diseases? C Health is not just about exercise and eating more fruits and vegetables. Keeping proper posture is vital for living a healthy life and avoiding negative health problems. Good posture doesn’t mean your back must be completely straight-no matter how many times you heard warnings to “sit up straight” or “stand straight” in your youth. Actually, the spine has a natural curve (弯曲). This allows the head to be centered over the neck and the body to be centered over the hips, which is their ideal placement for maintaining good posture. Keeping proper posture provides a plenty of physical benefits including reducing the chance of getting sports injuries, digestive problems, muscle and stress injuries. It minimizes the amount of stress on all your muscles. Correct posture can improve breathing as well. The inefficient breathing patterns are associated with a slouched (懒散的) posture, in part because such a position forces the body to rely more on upper-chest breathing. By contrast, the belly breathing is more efficient and relaxing. This is important because many of the worst health problems of poor posture can take years before they become noticeable. Along with such physical advantages, proper posture can also improve your mental health and your life. “A person with neutral head-level posture is considered as more cooperative than someone who has their head in an up-or-down position,” says Laura Deon, a physical medicine specialist at RUSH University in Chicago. “Good posture can improve communication skills and make your everyday exchanges go smoothly,” she explains. To experience benefits related to proper posture, it is recommended to pay attention to how you sit and stand and to practice doing so correctly and often enough until it feels natural. Besides, wearing proper footwear, doing exercise and sitting on chairs that offer back support could be helpful too. No matter which of these techniques you follow, good posture can be trained with practice. 8. What do we know about our back? A. It has a natural curve. B. It keeps still all the time. C. It needs to be totally straight. D. It looks quite bent from the side. 9. According to Laura Deon, how can good posture affect social interactions? A. It makes you look taller. B. It makes you less focused. C. It makes you seem humorous. D. It makes you seem more cooperative. 10. Which of the following is not a benefit from proper posture? A. Improve mental health. B. Strengthen one’s memory. C. Relieve muscle injuries. D. Reduce digestive problems. 11. What does the author suggest readers do to keep proper posture? A. Wear hard sneakers. B. Choose soft chairs to sit. C. Sit on chairs all day. D. Keep posture natural with practice. D Playing sports outdoors has got extremely hot. Recently a report said heat could cause safety risks during this year’s Paris Olympics. These heat problems become worse because of the rising temperature and growing use of artificial turf (人造草皮). Though more durable, artificial turf can’t absorb and keep water which finally leads to higher surface temperatures. Researchers from the KWR Water Research Institute in the Netherlands create a self-cooling turf, whose temperature is close to that of natural grass. If widely used, it may reduce the risk of serious heat-related injuries and even help improve storm drainage (排水) in cities where rainwater isn’t absorbed well by traditional artificial turf. The researchers used grass’ natural water absorption as inspiration and created their own turf with an open water storage layer. That water layer captures and stores rainwater. Tiny tubes made up of special materials are then used to transport the water back up to the surface where it evaporates (蒸发), which makes the turf surface cool. Though other research previously cooled artificial turfs by sprinkling (喷洒) water, it only cools for a short time and may damage the turfs. The KWR researchers say this new method is better as it stores rainwater to cool the field when needed. In addition to the cooling effects, the water-absorbing field could also prevent urban flooding by absorbing rainwater. Researchers say their new cooling system is easy to use, but it’s not necessarily cheap. Installation costs twice as much as a traditional turf. And while the experiment focused on small 5×5 meter plots, fields in the real world could be larger. Still, those previous costs may only tell part of the story. This investment, however, allows the field to become part of the water management system and forms a cooler and safer field for the athletes. 12. What’s the function of the first paragraph? A. To lead in the topic. B. To start an argument. C. To express an opinion. D. To give a definition. 13. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. The standard of the self-cooling turf. B. The design principle of the self-cooling turf. C. The special materials of the self-cooling turf. D. The difference between self-cooling turf and natural grass. 14. Why is the KWR’s new method of cooling turfs better than previous ones? A. It is much cheaper. B. It uses sprinkler systems. C. It stores natural rainwater. D. It absorbs underground water. 15. What is the author’s attitude toward the self-cooling turf? A. Worried. B. Unclear. C. Positive. D. Doubtful. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The Happiest Diet Does what you eat affect your mood?

Just as the cabin doors were closing and the attendants began final checks, he felt a sudden shake against the back of his seat. He turned around to see a young boy, no more than six or seven, sitting in the row behind him. The boy had a grin on his face as he kicked Carl’s seat again. “Hey there, can you please stop kicking my seat?” Carl asked in a friendly tone, trying to get the boy to stop before things worsened. The boy’s mother sat next to him, completely absorbed in her magazine, and even did not look up or stop him. The boy’s grin widened as he got ready to deliver another firm kick to the back of Carl’s seat. Carl felt his frustration growing. This wasn’t how he imagined spending the next five hours. He intended to warn the mother, but hesitated to cause a scene. The plane accelerated down the runway, and the repeated kicks continued, each one making Carl’s seat lurch (前倾) forward. He took a deep breath and prepared himself for the unavoidable next kick, realizing this was going to be a very long and uncomfortable flight. Earlier that day, Carl had been in a great mood after a successful business trip in Boston. As a senior project manager, he was used to high-pressure tasks and tight deadlines. Despite the exhaustion of back-to-back meetings and little sleep, he successfully signed a deal, a testament to his hard work and perseverance. He looked forward to relaxing on the flight home. Gazing out the window, Carl tried to remain positive. Suddenly the kick started up again, this time with a steady rhythm, as if the boy was treating Carl’s seat like a drum. Carl’s hands curled into fists, a clear sign of his growing frustration. This flight was supposed to be his chance to relax and unwind, not a test of his patience, leaving him more stressed and tired than before... However, after enduring a few more forceful kicks, Carl’s patience finally disappeared. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右; 2．请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: He quickly turned around and fixed a serious look on the boy’s mother. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Taking a deep breath, Carl decided to deal with the situation differently. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
