B I was shopping at Whole Foods Market when my cellphone rang. My daughter Julianna told me that she got the job she had applied for. She had just turned 14 and was determined to spend this summer vacation on work. The things she wants are both long-term and immediate. She wants to freely buy things from Forever 21 and save money for the famous college she’s determined to get into. Several weeks before her birthday， Julianna asked me whether I’d allow her to work. Some of her friends’ parents wouldn’t let their kids work， wanting them to focus on their studies and enjoy the last childhood freedom for as long as possible. I understood those parents. But I wanted her to spend less time on her electronic devices in her room and more time in the outside world. The day after her birthday， Julianna immediately applied to an amusement park， which hires teens during busy summer months. I’d never seen Julianna so active. The day before the interview， we went over possible questions， including why she wanted to work at the amusement park， its most famous attraction， and what her previous work and volunteering experiences were. She rarely talked about anything else until the interview was over. I never worked as a young teen. My husband， though， worked as a young teen at an amusement park. He shared some funny stories about his time working there. More importantly， the work contributed to his strong work ethic（行为准则） today. Studies also show that work can contribute to healthy development and that teens who work at times are more likely to attend four-year colleges and get degrees quickly. Julianna used to be so careful about new experiences， but now she is doing something new. I realize it’s time to put aside my doubts and worries and believe she can learn the skills she needs to take care of herself. （　　）4. What was the author’s expectation of her daughter？ A.

This groundbreaking project， built in 2012， shows how creative design and green living can appear at the same time in a busy central city. The project covers 101 hectares of recovered land and features three waterfront gardens： Bay South， Bay East， and Bay Central. The centerpiece， Bay South， is home to the famous Supertree Grove， a collection of trees that reach heights of up to 50 metres. These supertrees not only serve as sightseeing wonders but also play an important role in the park’s sustainable ecosystem（可持续生态系统） by collecting rainwater， producing solar energy， and providing living areas for local highland wildlife. Besides， the Cloud Forest is a wonderful glass dome（圆顶） that houses a 35-metre-tall mountain covered with plants and an eye-catching indoor waterfall. Visitors can start a journey through the forest， learning about the local biodiversity（生物多样性）. As Gardens by the Bay continues to grow， there are exciting plans for development in the works. Future projects may include new garden exhibits， interactive equipment， and better sustainability ways. The gardens aim to remain at the leading position of creative green spaces， inspiring visitors with new experiences and educational chances. One wisdom from the project is the importance of teamwork between various groups of people. The Singapore government worked closely with builders， engineers， and environmentalists to ensure that the design was not only attractive but also ecologically sound. The method drove the application of modern technologies， which allow for the plantation of various plants from different climates. The gardens utilize rainwater gathering， solar energy， and natural airing to reduce energy and water usage. Moreover， the project stresses the value of public partnership. It also encourages visitors to connect with nature and understand the importance of biodiversity. This has led to increased community cooperation and a greater love for the environment. （　　）8. What does the Gardens by the Bay project show？ A. How city planners can use modern technology. B. How citizens grow more plants in limited space. C. How Singapore includes green living in a city. D. How Singapore spreads its city planning experience. （　　）9. What is a function of the Supertree Grove？ A. It is home to the waterfront gardens. B. It supports the park’s sustainability. C. It houses a mountain covered with plants. D. It shows the high land’s biodiversity. （　　）10. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about？ A. The project’s general features. B. The project’s basic facilities. C. The project’s important experience. D. The project’s future development. （　　）11. What does the underlined word “utilize” in the last paragraph mean？ A. Give way to. B. Keep track of. C. Pay attention to. D. Take advantage of. D Over 300 schoolchildren in Melbourne’s inner west will be sporting one-of-a-kind backpacks that also serve as air quality readers to help scientists explore ways to reduce air pollution. It’s all part of the study “Breathe Melbourne” where children will become air quality scientists by collecting valuable data while on their way to and from the classroom. Meanwhile， the second section of the bag acts as a functional space so children can pack the things they need for school. Schools in Brimbank， Maribyrnong and Hobsons Bay were specifically chosen to be involved in the research due to the high asthma（哮喘） rates that resulted from the high air pollution levels. This is because of the locations’ industrial history， proximity（邻近） to the Port of Melbourne and the large number of diesel-fuelled vehicles on the surrounding roads， namely trucks. So， Professor Lou Irving from the Royal Melbourne Hospital says the areas have become the hotspots for active asthma with more inner west children going to hospitals with the disease compared to most other areas of Australia. One of the masterminds behind the backpack， James Shale， explained how the air quality readers inside the bag worked. A small fan within the backpack directs outside air through an opening towards the sensors， which then measure the air particles（微粒） and the amount of carbon dioxide. A GPS tracker is also connected to the bag， which allows experts to see which areas have more air pollution. Data from the sensors is then studied by researchers at Deakin University who will work with participating students to determine ways to improve the air they breathe. A pilot study with students from Kingsville Primary School showed children willingly changed their walking routes（路线） and the ways they got to school after the experiment as they found other healthier choices. （　　）12. What are the backpacks used for？ A. Increasing the air supply. B. Measuring air quality. C. Storing some air. D. Cleaning the air. （　　）13. Why were Brimbank， Maribyrnong and Hobsons Bay chosen for the research？ A. The industry in these areas is highly developed. B. These areas have convenient transportation. C. These areas have high asthma rates. D. Students in these areas are active in doing research. （　　）14. What does Paragraph 4 mainly tell us about the backpacks？ A. Where they can be bought. B. What parts they contain. C. Who invented them. D. How they function. （　　）15. How did the pilot study turn out？ A. It taught students how to breathe correctly. B. It developed students’ awareness of air pollution. C. It showed students how air quality was related to learning. D. It informed students of the less polluted places in Melbourne. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）高考趋势性主题身心健康 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Vegetarianism（素食主义） is becoming more popular in the UK as many people are choosing to avoid meat and animal products.  　16　 There is even a “National Vegetarian Week” held every year to encourage people to try a meat-free lifestyle.

It had an opening through which one could put money in， but the opening was not big enough to reach in. The only way to get the money was to break the piggy bank open. My grandfather explained that was the whole idea： the piggy bank would help save my money so that， at the end of the year， I might have enough for that bike I dreamt about. He asked if I would put some of the money he gave me into the piggy bank. I agreed immediately and promised that I wouldn’t break it open until I could afford my dream bike. Whenever he gave me money， I saved some and put it in the piggy bank. I loved the feel of shaking the piggy bank and hearing the sound of the coins. As it became heavier， I grew more excited， dreaming about buying my new bike， and all the adventures I could have with it. Whenever I wanted to take some money from the piggy bank to buy delicious ice-cream or beautiful pens， I would imagine riding my bike on the street. And when I thought of that， my thoughts about ice-cream or pens would fade away. So for almost six months， I only put money into the piggy bank without taking any out. I thought I wouldn’t break my piggy bank for anything. But one day something unexpected happened. I saw a piece of news on the television that a serious earthquake had happened in a nearby province. As many houses were destroyed， a lot of children became homeless. Seeing their crying faces， I was sleepless that night. 注意： 1. 所续写短文的词数应为 150 左右； 2. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。 Paragraph 1： I knew I should do something.____________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2： My grandfather was surprised by my behavior.________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________________ 参考答案 1-15、BCABA DCCBD DBCDB；16-20、GFCAD；21、CBBDD CBCAA CADBA； 36. larger　37. to make　38.

It’s a tough situation to be in， but please know it’s never too late to turn things around. Money is an essential resource， but it isn’t the only measure of success or happiness. It’s a tool that should be handled with consideration. The true value of money lies in its ability to give us what we need. Here is my advice for you. Firstly， consider creating a budget. This will help you keep track of where your money is going. Additionally， try to save a little bit each month. Even a small amount can add up over time and provide you with a safety net for unexpected expenses. Yours， Li Hua 第二节（满分25分） Paragraph 1： I knew I should do something.  　I went to my piggy bank and was about to break it and withdraw money when the bike I had been looking forward to buying came to mind， and I hesitated. Thinking of the look in the eyes of the children hoping for help， I grabbed the piggy bank and threw it to the ground. Suddenly， the coins rolled all over the floor. “Yes， those children need help and need the money more，” I said to myself. 　 Paragraph 2： My grandfather was surprised by my behavior.  　When he realized what had happened， he fondly touched my head and said， “Good boy， you did the right thing. Grandpa is proud of you.” He continued， “My dear grandson， you deserve that bicycle. As a reward， let’s buy that bike together now. Then， go for a spring outing by bike.” “Thank you， Grandpa，” I said， overwhelmed with happiness. 　 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
