B 【解析】 【原文】W: We won’t know what the future house will look like but we can imagine three kinds of houses. The first one is the tree house. Like a leaf, the surface of the house collects sunlight during the day. The energy can be used to heat water, produce electricity and even create fresh air for the home. The root of the house is deep under the ground. It uses the soil to control the home’s temperature. The second one is the lizard home. Like a lizard, changing colors with the weather is the most important design of a lizard house. When it’s in the bright sun, the cover of the house will turn dark to protect it from strong heat. During the dark days, it turns white and takes in as much light and heat as possible to produce energy. The last one is the chimney house.In such a house, a chimney can be a useful air conditioner because it is easier for hot air to flow out of the chimney. 听下面一段较长对话，回答以下小题。【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 8.

M: He must have thought I was rude. Now I can never go back here. W: It’s OK, Sam. He knows you’re not from here. M: How did you know you were supposed to give the guy money?

A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了为了确保乘客可以在火车上和车站享受安全、可靠和舒适的体验，铁路公司计划关闭部分轨道以完成升级。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Additionally, some track closures will affect Cross River Rail, which is Queensland’s largest rail infrastructure project. (此外，一些轨道的关闭将影响到Cross River Rail，这是昆士兰州最大的铁路基础设施项目)”可知，Cross River Rail是昆士兰州最大的铁路基础设施。由此推知，它对于昆士兰州的交通运输很重要。故选D。 24题详解】 细节理解题。根据表格中“20 to 22 Roma Street to Corinda”可知，Roma Street to Corinda在2月20号到22号关闭，所以2月21号关闭的就是Roma Street to Corinda。故选B。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Many stations have wheelchair access from the car park or entrance to the station platforms. For assistance, please call 13 16 17.(许多车站设有从停车场或入口到站台的轮椅通道。如需帮助，请拨打13 16 17)”可知，行动不便的旅客可以拨打13 16 17求助。故选A。 B As the oldest of three children, I never had any hand-me-downs to wear like other poor kids. Instead, Mom got my wardrobe (全部衣物) from neighborhood mothers. Imagine the fun other kids had when they saw me wearing their used clothing. Perhaps my biggest challenge came from Charlie. As far as I was concerned, Charlie’s main fun was to make fun of me. During those years, I slowly learned to hate. I hated Charlie, but I also hated myself for not being able to change my situation. But situations do change. That opportunity came after high school when I joined the Navy. The Navy made me a social equal for the first time in my life, and the GI Bill gave me a college education. Hard work and a few lucky career choices finally lifted me into the middle class. One beautiful summer afternoon, my friend and I celebrated Friday in Jackson’s Steak House. For the first time in almost twenty years, I saw Charlie. Not only did I see him, but he spoke to me. I could tell he didn’t recognize me, but I surely recognized my childhood tormentor (折磨者). His words were short, but I’ll never forget them. He said, “Sir, what kind of dressing would you like with your salad?” The tables had turned. Charlie was calling me “Sir”. While hundreds of improper ideas raced through my mind, I could only give a two-word reply: “Blue cheese.” As much as I wanted to taste the sweet taste of revenge (复仇), I refused to do it. I wouldn’t put another person through what I had gone through as a child. It was time to put childish things behind me and make use of the new opportunity that life had given me. I left him a good tip and I didn’t say one word about recognizing him. 26. Where did the author usually get his clothes as a kid? A. His mom bought them for him. B. They were from other families. C. Other poor kids collected them for him. D. They were handed down by his brothers. 27. Which word best describes the author’s childhood? A. Painful. B. Funny. C. Strange. D. Lucky. 28. What job did Charlie probably do? A. A hairdresser. B. A waiter. C. A soldier. D. A cook. 29. What is the best title of the passage? A. Live your own dream B. Best memories in childhood C. Don’t hate but love your enemy D. Grow up and let it go 【答案】26. B 27. A 28. B 29. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了小时候查理折磨了作者的童年，他很恨查理，长大后遇到了做服务生的查理，作者本想报复查理，但是最终选择了放手，好好利用生活给自己的新机会。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“As the oldest of three children, I never had any hand-me-downs to wear like other poor kids. Instead, Mom got my wardrobe from neighborhood mothers.(作为三个孩子中年龄最大的一个，我从来没有像其他穷孩子那样穿任何旧衣服。相反，妈妈从邻居的妈妈那里得到了我的全部衣物)”可知，作者小时候经常从其他家庭得到衣服。故选B项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Imagine the fun other kids had when they saw me wearing their used clothing.(想象一下其他孩子看到我穿着他们的旧衣服时的乐趣吧)”以及第二段“During those years, I slowly learned to hate. I hated Charlie, but I also hated myself for not being able to change my situation.(在那些年里，我慢慢学会了仇恨。我恨查理，但我也恨自己不能改变我的处境)”可知，作者感觉自己的童年是痛苦不堪的。故选A项。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“One beautiful summer afternoon, my friend and I celebrated Friday in Jackson’s Steak House. For the first time in almost twenty years, I saw Charlie.(一个美丽的夏日下午，我和朋友在杰克逊牛排馆庆祝星期五。这是近二十年来我第一次见到查理)”以及“He said, “Sir, what kind of dressing would you like with your salad?”(他说：“先生，你的沙拉要什么调味品？”)”可知，作者在牛排馆里遇见查理时，查理作为服务生询问作者需要什么调味品。故选B项。 【29题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“I hated Charlie, but I also hated myself for not being able to change my situation.(我恨查理，但我也恨自己不能改变我的处境)”以及最后一段“As much as I wanted to taste the sweet taste of revenge, I refused to do it. I wouldn’t put another person through what I had gone through as a child. It was time to put childish things behind me and make use of the new opportunity that life had given me.(虽然我很想尝到复仇的甜蜜滋味，但我拒绝了这样做。我不会让别人经历我小时候所经历的一切。是时候把幼稚的事情抛诸脑后，利用生活给我的新机会了)”可知，小时候查理折磨了作者的童年，他很恨查理，成年后遇到了做服务生的查理，作者本想报复查理，但是最终选择了放手，好好利用生活给自己的新机会，所以“长大吧，放手吧”可以作为文章标题。故选D项。 C Although new laws have been passed in some American states to cut down on distracted(分心的) driving, many accidents and deaths were still related with it, especially using cell phones while driving. Recently the Obama administration is considering disabling cell phones in cars, aiming to cut down cell-phone-related road deaths. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood, the nation’s anti-distracted-driving supporter, said in an interview on November 18 that federal officials are looking at technology to disable cell phones inside cars. “I think it will be done,” LaHood said. I think the technology is there and I think you’re going to see the technology become adaptable in automobiles to disable these cell phones. We need to do a lot more if we were going to save lives.” Also on Thursday, the transportation government started a new “Faces of Distracted Driving” video campaign that features(以…特征) people who have been killed or lost their loved ones because of inattentive drivers. The video features heartbreaking stories of children killed in crashes because of phoning or text messaging, and new videos are expected to be added every few weeks. A driver is four times more likely to crash while u, sing a mobile phone. More than 5,500 people were killed last year by distracted drivers, and another 500,000 were injured. LaHood has said it is never safe to talk on a cell phone while driving, hands-free or not, because it can really cause distraction. Incidentally, a lot of people seem to agree with this viewpoint—a new research shows nearly two-thirds of Americans support a national ban on the use of cell phones while driving, even if the driver is using a hands-free device(装置). But the research didn’t ask how people feel about government-issued mobile phone scramblers or other disabling devices. 30. The Obama administration is considering disabling cell phones in cars because ______. A. there is no national laws to prevent the use of cell phones in cars B. most drivers take no notice of American laws C. using phones while driving has caused many accidents D. cell phone technology needs to be developed 31. We can learn from the text that Ray LaHood ______. A. is in charge of the invention of the technology B. thinks it’s easy and practical to invent the technology C. thinks it’s unnecessary to use cell phone while driving D. is strongly for the use of the technology in cars 32. The “Faces of Distracted Driving” video campaign aims to ______. A. find out the real drivers who caused the accidents B. make the public aware of the terrible results of distracted driving C. call on drivers to buy the new device which disables cell phones in cars D. show that most of the victims in car crashes are children 33. We can infer from the text that _______. A. two-thirds of Americans support a national ban on the use of cell phones while driving . B. most people would like to choose hands-free devices while driving C. the disabling devices in cars will be widely used if it is free D. the writer is not sure whether government-issued disabling devices will be accepted by people. 【答案】30. C 31. D 32. B 33. D 【解析】 【分析】本文属于说明文，作者通过这篇文章主要向我们描述了政府发现分心驾驶的案件与日俱增，需要采取措施使公众意识到分心驾驶的可怕后果，并且准备施行在车内禁用手机。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一自然段最后一句“Recently the Obama administration is considering disabling cell phones in cars, aiming to cut down cell-phone-related road deaths(最近，奥巴马政府正在考虑禁用汽车中的手机，以减少与手机相关的道路死亡人数)”可知，奥巴马政府禁止在开车时使用手机的原因就是在开车时使用手机造成了很多的交通事故，并且想通过开车时禁用手机来减少事故的发生。故此题选C。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二自然段“Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood, the nation’s anti-distracted-driving supporter, said in an interview on November 18 that federal officials are looking at technology to disable cell phones inside cars(美国反对分心驾驶的支持者，交通部长Ray LaHood在11月18日的一次采访中说，联邦官员正在研究使汽车内的手机失效的技术)”可知交通部长Ray LaHood反对在车内使用手机，并且希望在车内安装使汽车内的手机失效的技术。故此题选D。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四自然段“features people who have been killed or lost their loved ones because of inattentive drivers. The video features heartbreaking stories of children killed in crashes because of phoning or text messaging, and new videos are expected to be added every few weeks.(主要是那些因疏忽大意的司机而丧生或失去亲人的人。这段视频讲述了儿童因打电话或发短信而在车祸中丧生的令人心碎的故事，并且预计每隔几周就会增加新的视频)”可知此活动播放的视频都与开车时使用手机，从而酿成大祸有关。由此推断出活动的目的就是通过这些视频，让大众了解开车时分心，会带来惨烈的后果，从而唤醒大家对于开车时不能分心的意识。故此题选B。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一句“But the research didn’t ask how people feel about government-issued mobile phone scramblers or other disabling devices(但这项研究没有询问人们对政府发放的手机扰频器或其他装置的感受)”可知，政府在采取此措施时，并没有询问人们的感受。由此推断出作者也不确定政府所采取的行为是否被大众所接受。故此题选D。 D The largest-ever study of the link between city walkability and high blood pressure has been held up as evidence of the “invisible value of urban design” in improving long-term health outcomes, say researchers. The study of around 430,000 people aged between 38 and 73 and living in 22 UK cities found significant associations between the increased walkability of a neighborhood, lower blood pressure and reduced risk of high blood pressure among its residents. The outcomes remained consistent even after adjustments for socio-demographic (社会人口统计学), lifestyle and changing physical environment factors, though the protective effects were particularly pronounced among participants aged between 50 and 60, women, and those residing in higher density and poor neighborhoods. The paper was published in the International Journal of Hygiene and Environmental Health this week. With high blood pressure a major risk factor for chronic (慢性的) and particularly heart diseases, researchers at the University of Hong Kong and Oxford University said the findings demonstrated the need to take notice of the health-influencing factor in urban design. “With the increasing pace of urbanization and demographic shifts towards an ageing population, we become more likely to suffer from chronic diseases,” said Dr. Chinmoy Sarkar, an assistant professor at the Healthy High Density Cities Lab of the University of Hong Kong and lead author of the study. “The action taken to improve public health must consider the invisible value of urban planning and design. “We are spending billions of pounds in preventing and curing heart diseases — if we are able to invest in creating healthy cities through small changes in the design of our neighborhoods to make them more activity-friendly and walkable, then probably, we will have significant savings in future healthcare expenses.” To measure a neighborhood’s activity-promoting potential, researchers developed a set of index of walkability containing relevant urban elements, including residential and retail (零售) density, public transport, street-level movement, and distance to attractive destinations. Poorly designed spaces generally reduced walking and physical activity, promoting the lifestyles of long time sitting down and not moving; and were harmful to social interactions, and as such associated with poorer mental and physical health. Because walkability was “based on the underlying design of the city”, said Sarkar, cities could be modified or designed to encourage it. “Such investments in healthy design are likely to bring in long-term gains as they are enduring and common.” 34. By considering “invisible value of urban design”, people can _______. A. reduce the ageing population B. slow down the pace of urbanization C. promote activity-friendly and walkable cities D. invest in preventing and curing heart diseases 35. What can be inferred from the passage? A. A set of index is essential to ensure that urban design promotes walkability. B. Walkable cities can lower blood pressure and the risk of high blood pressure. C. Chronic diseases are becoming common due to people’s neglect of their health. D. Middle-aged women living in poor areas are less likely to benefit from increased walkability. 36. All of the following are the undesirable consequences of poorly-designed neighborhoods EXCEPT _______. A. failing health B. unhealthy lifestyle C. fewer social interactions D. fewer neighborhoods 37. According to Dr. Chinmoy Sarkar, _______. A. cities should encourage the residents to engage in social interactions B. the design of our neighborhoods should meet people’s needs for retail density C. money invested in creating healthy cities is money saved in future healthcare expenses D. chronic diseases will be common because of our lifestyle and the physical environment 【答案】34. C 35. B 36. D 37. C 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了研究发现社区步行能力提高、血压降低和居民高血压风险降低之间存在显著关联，因此我们必须考虑城市规划和设计的无形价值，促进城市的活动友好性和可步行性。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第四段中的“we are able to invest in creating healthy cities through small changes in the design of our neighborhoods to make them more activity-friendly and walkable”可知，我们能够通过小区设计上的微小改变来投资建设健康的城市，使其更便于活动和步行，由此可知，通过考虑城市设计的无形价值，人们可以促进城市的活动友好性和可步行性，故C项正确。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“found significant associations between the increased walkability of a neighborhood, lower blood pressure and reduced risk of high blood pressure among its residents.”可知，研究发现社区步行能力提高、血压降低和居民高血压风险降低之间存在显著关联，由此可知，适宜步行的城市可以降低血压和患高血压的风险，故B项正确。 【36题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Poorly designed spaces generally reduced walking and physical activity, promoting the lifestyles of long time sitting down and not moving; and were harmful to social interactions, and as such associated with poorer mental and physical health.”可知，设计不当的空间通常会减少步行和体力活动，促进长时间坐着不动的生活方式；对社会交往有害，因此与较差的身心健康有关，由此可知，设计糟糕的社区的不良后果包括健康状况不佳、不健康的生活方式以及较少的社会交往，而没有提到较少的社区，故D项正确。 【37题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Because walkability was based on the underlying design of the city , said Sarkar, cities could be modified or designed to encourage it. Such investments in healthy design are likely to bring in long-term gains ”可知，Sarkar说，由于步行能力是基于城市的基础设计，城市可以被修改或设计来鼓励步行能力，这类对健康设计的投资很可能带来长期收益，言外之意，他认为投资于创建健康城市的资金是节省在未来医疗费用上的资金，故C项正确。 【点睛】本篇第4题难度较大，抓住Chinmoy Sarkar在文中说的话是关键，根据最后一段中的“Because walkability was based on the underlying design of the city , said Sarkar, cities could be modified or designed to encourage it. Such investments in healthy design are likely to bring in long-term gains ”可知，Sarkar说，由于步行能力是基于城市的基础设计，城市可以被修改或设计来鼓励步行能力，这类对健康设计的投资很可能带来长期收益，上文又说适宜步行的城市可以降低血压和患高血压的风险，由此可知，他认为投资于创建健康城市的资金是节省在未来医疗费用上的资金，故C项正确。 七选五 Everyone makes mistakes.___38___.

When you make a mistake at work your career may depend on what you do next.(然而，在工作中犯错可能会带来更严重的后果。这可能会给你的雇主带来麻烦，甚至会影响公司的盈利状况。不良后果最终会降临到你身上。仅仅纠正错误并继续前进可能并非可行的选择。当你在工作中犯错时，你的职业生涯可能取决于接下来你所采取的行动)”可知，前文说“每个人都会犯错”，后文转折指出“工作中犯错后果更严重”。此空需要衔接“普通错误”和“工作错误”的区别，B选项（通常你可以改正错误，或者干脆忘掉它继续前行）恰好承接上文，体现普通错误的处理方式，与后文形成对比。故选B。 【39题详解】 根据上文“Tell your boss about your mistake immediately. The only exception is if you make an insignificant error that will not affect anyone. Otherwise, don’t try to hide your mistake.(立即把你的错误告诉你的老板。唯一的例外情况是，如果你犯的是一个无关紧要的错误，且不会影响到任何人的话。否则，不要试图隐瞒你的错误)”可知，前文强调“不要试图隐瞒工作中的错误”，此空需要说明隐瞒的坏处。G选项（如果被别人发现，你会很难堪）直接点明隐瞒错误的后果，逻辑连贯。故选G。 【40题详解】 根据标题“Don’t blame anyone else for your mistake.(不要把错误归咎于他人)”以及后文“Encourage those who may share responsibility to follow your lead in admitting to your boss.(鼓励那些可能承担相应责任的人也像你一样，向你的上司坦白)”可知，本段主旨是“不要把自己的错误归咎于他人”。D选项（犯错时指责别人对你没有任何帮助）与主旨完全契合，且后文提到“鼓励共担责任的人一起向老板承认”，进一步支撑了这一观点。故选D。 【41题详解】 根据后文“There’s a big difference between admitting your mistake and beating yourself up about it. Take responsibility but don’t blame yourself for making it, especially in public.(承认错误与自责懊恼是有很大区别的。要勇于承担责任，但不要因为犯错而自责不已，尤其是在众人面前更不应如此)”可知，此空是段落小标题，需概括整段内容。后文提到“承认错误和苛责自己有很大区别”“承担责任但不要自责”，A选项（为你的错误道歉，但不要苛责自己）精准概括了该段核心。故选A。 【42题详解】 根据上文“If you have to spend extra hours at work to correct your mistake, don’t expect to be paid for that time.(如果你因为犯错而不得不加班补救，那就别指望能因此获得额外的报酬了)”可知，本段主旨是“用自己的私人时间修正错误”。前文说“不要指望加班能获得报酬”，C选项（你可以利用午餐时间或者早点上班）给出了具体的私人时间安排方式，符合语境。故选C。 三、完形填空 完形填空。 Don’t let Aurora’s small stature (身高) fool you—her spirit is strong.

But when it comes to keeping secrets, he is the worst! It just so happened that my parents’ wedding anniversary was near Valentine’s Day, and they planned to celebrate by going away for a couple of days. But at the last minute, my dad came home from work with bad news. “I’m afraid our trip will have to wait. The shop assistant has the flu, so there will be no one to manage the grocery store if we go.” “It’s OK,” my mom said, biting her lip. “We’ll have lots more anniversaries to celebrate.” That was when I came up with the idea to surprise my parents with an extra-special cake. Luckily, the grandmother of my good friend Ollie, a very generous person who lives right next door, was an amazing baker with a kitchen full of most of the stuff you need to make a yummy valentine-anniversary cake. I called Ollie if she and her grandmother could help me make a valentine-anniversary cake. I wanted to surprise Mom and Dad after dinner tonight. As usual, Ollie was happy to help me. Then, I asked my mother if I could go to Ollie’s and promised I would be back soon. Once I had my mom’s permission, I looked for perfect ingredients and a perfect heart-shaped pan just to make my cake more interesting and tasty.

I was about to hide the cake in the kitchen when Tex yelled, “Mom”. Tex waved his cards and shouted “Surprise!” “No,” I said “Not yet!” Right then, my mom rushed in and asked what was going on. “We won’t tell you about the cake!” said Tex innocently. “I was trying to give you and dad the perfect anniversary surprise,”I explained, “but the youngest of this family just ruined everything.’’ “We don’t care if it’s a surprise.” said my mom delightedly. “It’s the thought that counts, and you just made our day.” 【解析】 【导语】本文以蛋糕为线索展开，讲述了作者的父母原本打算在情人节期间通过度假来庆祝结婚周年纪念，结果却因为意外情况的出现不得不取消。所以作者就想利用这个机会做个情人节蛋糕给爸爸妈妈一个意外的惊喜。但是作者的周密的计划却因为可爱，但却不善长保守秘密的弟弟而泡汤了。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“当我去奥利家时，泰克斯拦住了我，问我要去哪里。”可知，第一段可写得知作者要去奥利家给爸爸妈妈做蛋糕时，弟弟要求一起去，却被我阻止。 ②由第二段首句内容“我正要把蛋糕藏在厨房里，这时泰克斯喊道：“妈妈”。”可知，第二段可写作者想给爸爸妈妈一个惊喜却被弟弟泄露了秘密。 2.续写线索：去奥利家做蛋糕——拒绝同去——达成保密共识——蛋糕做成——藏蛋糕——弟弟泄密——妈妈表扬 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①大喊：yell/shout/scream/call out ②冲进来：rush in→dash in/run in ③低声说：whisper/mutter/murmur 情绪类 ①认真地：seriously/severely/earnestly ②开心地：delightedly/happily/joyfully 【点睛】【高分句型1】As I went out for Ollie’s, Tex stopped me, asking where I was going.(使用了as引导状语从句和现在分词短语作状语) 【高分句型2】Ollie’s grandmother was extremely helpful , who helped me make a beautiful valentine-anniversary cake, and I brought it home secretly.(使用了who引导的非限制性定语从句。) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高三英语12月模拟训练卷（一） 一、听力选择题 听下面一段对话，回答以下小题。【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 1.

Imagine the fun other kids had when they saw me wearing their used clothing. Perhaps my biggest challenge came from Charlie. As far as I was concerned, Charlie’s main fun was to make fun of me. During those years, I slowly learned to hate. I hated Charlie, but I also hated myself for not being able to change my situation. But situations do change. That opportunity came after high school when I joined the Navy. The Navy made me a social equal for the first time in my life and the GI Bill gave me a college education. Hard work and a few lucky career choices finally lifted me into the middle class. One beautiful summer afternoon, my friend and I celebrated Friday in Jackson’s Steak House. For the first time in almost twenty years, I saw Charlie. Not only did I see him, but he spoke to me. I could tell he didn’t recognize me, but I surely recognized my childhood tormentor (折磨者). His words were short, but I’ll never forget them. He said, “Sir, what kind of dressing would you like with your salad?” The tables had turned. Charlie was calling me “Sir”. While hundreds of improper ideas raced through my mind, I could only give a two-word reply: “Blue cheese.” As much as I wanted to taste the sweet taste of revenge (复仇), I refused to do it. I wouldn’t put another person through what I had gone through as a child. It was time to put childish things behind me and make use of the new opportunity that life had given me. I left him a good tip and I didn’t say one word about recognizing him. 26. Where did the author usually get his clothes as a kid? A. His mom bought them for him. B. They were from other families. C.

Don’t hate but love your enemy D. Grow up and let it go C Although new laws have been passed in some American states to cut down on distracted(分心的) driving, many accidents and deaths were still related with it, especially using cell phones while driving. Recently the Obama administration is considering disabling cell phones in cars, aiming to cut down cell-phone-related road deaths. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood, the nation’s anti-distracted-driving supporter, said in an interview on November 18 that federal officials are looking at technology to disable cell phones inside cars. “I think it will be done,” LaHood said. I think the technology is there and I think you’re going to see the technology become adaptable in automobiles to disable these cell phones. We need to do a lot more if we were going to save lives.” Also on Thursday, the transportation government started a new “Faces of Distracted Driving” video campaign that features(以…为特征) people who have been killed or lost their loved ones because of inattentive drivers. The video features heartbreaking stories of children killed in crashes because of phoning or text messaging, and new videos are expected to be added every few weeks. A driver is four times more likely to crash while u, sing a mobile phone. More than 5,500 people were killed last year by distracted drivers, and another 500,000 were injured. LaHood has said it is never safe to talk on a cell phone while driving, hands-free or not, because it can really cause distraction. Incidentally, a lot of people seem to agree with this viewpoint—a new research shows nearly two-thirds of Americans support a national ban on the use of cell phones while driving, even if the driver is using a hands-free device(装置). But the research didn’t ask how people feel about government-issued mobile phone scramblers or other disabling devices. 30. The Obama administration is considering disabling cell phones in cars because ______. A. there is no national laws to prevent the use of cell phones in cars B. most drivers take no notice of American laws C. using phones while driving has caused many accidents D. cell phone technology needs to be developed 31. We can learn from the text that Ray LaHood ______. A. is in charge of the invention of the technology B. thinks it’s easy and practical to invent the technology C. thinks it’s unnecessary to use cell phone while driving D. is strongly for the use of the technology in cars 32. The “Faces of Distracted Driving” video campaign aims to ______. A. find out the real drivers who caused the accidents B. make the public aware of the terrible results of distracted driving C. call on drivers to buy the new device which disables cell phones in cars D. show that most of the victims in car crashes are children 33. We can infer from the text that _______. A. two-thirds of Americans support a national ban on the use of cell phones while driving . B. most people would like to choose hands-free devices while driving C. the disabling devices in cars will be widely used if it is free D. the writer is not sure whether government-issued disabling devices will be accepted by people. D The largest-ever study of the link between city walkability and high blood pressure has been held up as evidence of the “invisible value of urban design” in improving long-term health outcomes, say researchers. The study of around 430,000 people aged between 38 and 73 and living in 22 UK cities found significant associations between the increased walkability of a neighborhood, lower blood pressure and reduced risk of high blood pressure among its residents. The outcomes remained consistent even after adjustments for socio-demographic (社会人口统计学), lifestyle and changing physical environment factors, though the protective effects were particularly pronounced among participants aged between 50 and 60, women, and those residing in higher density and poor neighborhoods. The paper was published in the International Journal of Hygiene and Environmental Health this week. With high blood pressure a major risk factor for chronic (慢性的) and particularly heart diseases, researchers at the University of Hong Kong and Oxford University said the findings demonstrated the need to take notice of the health-influencing factor in urban design. “With the increasing pace of urbanization and demographic shifts towards an ageing population, we become more likely to suffer from chronic diseases,” said Dr. Chinmoy Sarkar, an assistant professor at the Healthy High Density Cities Lab of the University of Hong Kong and lead author of the study. “The action taken to improve public health must consider the invisible value of urban planning and design. “We are spending billions of pounds in preventing and curing heart diseases — if we are able to invest in creating healthy cities through small changes in the design of our neighborhoods to make them more activity-friendly and walkable, then probably, we will have significant savings in future healthcare expenses.” To measure a neighborhood’s activity-promoting potential, researchers developed a set of index of walkability containing relevant urban elements, including residential and retail (零售) density, public transport, street-level movement, and distance to attractive destinations. Poorly designed spaces generally reduced walking and physical activity, promoting the lifestyles of long time sitting down and not moving; and were harmful to social interactions, and as such associated with poorer mental and physical health. Because walkability was “based on the underlying design of the city”, said Sarkar, cities could be modified or designed to encourage it. “Such investments in healthy design are likely to bring in long-term gains as they are enduring and common.” 34. By considering “invisible value of urban design”, people can _______. A. reduce the ageing population B. slow down the pace of urbanization C. promote activity-friendly and walkable cities D. invest in preventing and curing heart diseases 35. What can be inferred from the passage? A. A set of index is essential to ensure that urban design promotes walkability. B. Walkable cities can lower blood pressure and the risk of high blood pressure. C. Chronic diseases are becoming common due to people’s neglect of their health. D. Middle-aged women living in poor areas are less likely to benefit from increased walkability. 36. All of the following are the undesirable consequences of poorly-designed neighborhoods EXCEPT _______. A failing health B. unhealthy lifestyle C. fewer social interactions D. fewer neighborhoods 37. According to Dr. Chinmoy Sarkar, _______. A. cities should encourage the residents to engage in social interactions B. the design of our neighborhoods should meet people’s needs for retail density C. money invested in creating healthy cities is money saved in future healthcare expenses D. chronic diseases will be common because of our lifestyle and the physical environment 七选五 Everyone makes mistakes.___38___.

When it comes to being funny and lovable, he is the best. But when it comes to keeping secrets, he is the worst! It just so happened that my parents’ wedding anniversary was near Valentine’s Day, and they planned to celebrate by going away for a couple of days. But at the last minute, my dad came home from work with bad news. “I’m afraid our trip will have to wait. The shop assistant has the flu, so there will be no one to manage the grocery store if we go.” “It’s OK,” my mom said, biting her lip. “We’ll have lots more anniversaries to celebrate.” That was when I came up with the idea to surprise my parents with an extra-special cake. Luckily, the grandmother of my good friend Ollie, a very generous person who lives right next door, was an amazing baker with a kitchen full of most of the stuff you need to make a yummy valentine-anniversary cake. I called Ollie if she and her grandmother could help me make a valentine-anniversary cake. I wanted to surprise Mom and Dad after dinner tonight. As usual, Ollie was happy to help me. Then, I asked my mother if I could go to Ollie’s and promised I would be back soon. Once I had my mom’s permission, I looked for perfect ingredients and a perfect heart-shaped pan just to make my cake more interesting and tasty.

The first one is the tree house. Like a leaf, the surface of the house collects sunlight during the day, the energy can be used to heat water, produce electricity, and even create fresh air for the home. The root of the house is deep under the ground. IT uses the soil to control the homes temperature. The second one is the lizard home. Like a lizzard, changing colors with the weather is the most important design of a lizard house. When it's in the bright sun, the cover of the house will turn dark to protect IT from strong heat. During the dark days, IT turns White and takes in as much White and heat as possible to produce energy. The last one is the chimney y house. In such a house, a chimney, I can be a useful air conditioner, because IT is easier for hot air to flow out of the chimney.
