I started to do that. A: How do you find restaurants? B: The best way is to ask the people there. I may talk to the people at the street market or take a walk and look for a place for myself. I never asked a hotel clerk or a taxi driver. I don’t go empty restaurants or places with menus too difficult to understand. 听下面一段独白，回答以下小题。【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 17.

Four streets lead to the Plaza, which have white sidewalks and treeline. Hernandes Street, which was named after a famous writer born in the city, contains all of the food stores, fish markets and vegetable stands. Femando Street, which was named after an educator, is where all of the government offices are housed.

Together with his wife Helen, he set off on a journey around Australia. But when they returned, John found he missed the classroom, so he spent another eight years doing casual teaching. Then he heard about a program known as Volunteers for Isolated Students’ Education (VISE), which pairs up energetic people with educational experience, usually retired teachers, with children whose schooling is largely done remotely, because they live too far away from towns and cities to attend regular schools. John grew up in the country and as a kid in the bush, he always dreamed of running with circus, but he didn’t even have much chance to see the circus in person. Therefore he was immediately interested in the program and got a travelling post as a teacher with Stardust Circus. The lesson timetable was built around the kid's performance schedules. “The eight-year-old I tutored was an awesome gymnast who was part of the teeterboard (跷跷板)act, ”he explains. “A big guy would jump on the other side, he would swing up in the air, do a couple of twirls(旋转) and land on his uncle’s shoulders. . . and his uncle was standing on the boy’s father’s shoulders!” The circus still includes some animal acts, including lions, monkeys, horses, goats and pigs. John and his wife Helen found it extraordinary enough to sink into sleep to the sound of lions roaring, but one day the lion-trainer, Matt, gave him a very special privilege, inviting him in to meet four 13-month-old lions in person. While it was understandably a little scary at first, for John it was a never-to-be-forgotten experience, which helped him realize his boyhood dream in his 75th year. 24. Why did John Smyth stay in the Stardust Circus? A. To run the circus. B. To live far from towns. C. To educate the children. D. To conduct a program. 25. What can we learn from the passage? A. Teachers of the VISE program live too far away. B. Children in the circus are taught at fixed time. C. John instructed the gymnast’s performance of swinging in the air. D. The couple enjoyed sleeping with the sound of lions roaring. 26. Which word best describes John’s experience of meeting the little lions? A. Scary. B. Upsetting. C. Boring. D. Memorable. 27. What is the best title for the text? A. Working for a Living B. Returning to School C. Running with the Circus D. Travelling with Animals 【答案】24. C 25. D 26. D 27. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。John参加了VISE项目，在马戏团义务教授孩子的同时也免费观看了梦寐以求的马戏表演，过上了有意义且有趣的生活。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Therefore he was immediately interested in the program and got a travelling post as a teacher with Stardust Circus. (因此，他立即对该计划产生了兴趣，并获得了星尘马戏团旅行教师职位。)”可知，John在听说了项目VISE后很感兴趣，并以一名老师的身份跟随马戏团，对那里的孩子进行授课。故选C项。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“John and his wife Helen found it extraordinary enough to sink into sleep to the sound of lions roaring, but one day the lion-trainer, Matt, gave him a very special privilege, inviting him in to meet four 13-month-old lions in person.(约翰和他的妻子海伦觉得在狮子咆哮的声音中入睡是很不寻常的，但有一天，驯狮师马特给了他一个非常特殊的特权，邀请他亲自去见四只13个月大的狮子。)”可知，John与妻子都很享受伴着狮声人睡。故选D项。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“While it was understandably a little scary at first, for John it was a never-to-be-forgotten experience, which helped him realize his boyhood dream in his 75th year. (虽然一开始有点吓人是可以理解的，但对约翰来说，这是一次永远不会忘记的经历，这帮助他75岁时实现了儿时的梦想。)”可知，John见到小狮子时，有一点害怕，但这对John来说，是一次无法忘怀的经历，帮助他实现了从儿时的梦想。故选D项。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容可知，John在退休之后来到马戏团义务教授孩子的同时也免费观看了梦寐以求的马戏表演，过上了有意义且有趣的生活。因此C项“和马戏团一起跑”概括了本文内容，适合本文内容，适合作本文的标题。故选C项。 C As explorers of the wild, penguins often wander around. Normally, these ice-cold explorations are pretty short-lived. But one emperor penguin, now named Gus, alone and hungry, recently landed on a beach in Australia, more than 2,000 miles away from its native Antarctica. In the bird world, rare migrations such as these are referred to as vagrancies (流浪), says Casey Youngflesh, an associate professor at Clemson University. Living in the coldest place on Earth, emperor penguins, which can grow up to 45 inches tall and live between 15 and 20 years, typically live in groups with populations that can range from a few hundred to thousands of members. But even large population isn’t a guarantee of survival, and penguins survived due to several unique adaptations. Thick feathers protect penguins from Antarctica’s cold temperatures and high winds, and substantial (大量的) fat stores allow them to survive with little or no food for long periods. These animals are also remarkable swimmers, capable of diving to depths of over 450 meters. These characteristics could certainly have helped this male penguin make the journey to Australia, says Youngflesh. Determining what exactly caused the penguin to end up in Australia is another matter, as some experts suggest that he could have been blown off course by a storm and gotten lost or had some of its other navigational senses disturbed in some way. Despite how infrequently penguins land on Australia, Gus’s case may indicate how quickly the Antarctic environment is changing and how local species are affected. Emperor penguins, for example, depend on stable sea ice to reproduce, but as climate change increasingly causes ice shelves to melt, the species is expected to undergo rapid population decline in the next few decades. Vast environmental changes and less food sources mean that some animals must search farther for food and shelter than they otherwise would. To that end, while this unusual event isn’t currently indication of a larger pattern, experts should take note as animal vagrancy can expand in the future, says Youngflesh. 28. What can we learn about emperor penguins? A. They rarely explore the wild. B. They tend to live in communities. C. They migrate to Australia for food. D. They live longer than other animals. 29. Which feature enabled Gus to survive during the journey? A. Its waterproof feathers. B. Its considerable fat stores. C. Its disturbed navigational senses. D. Its adaptation to animal vagrancy. 30. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. Animal vagrancies are likely to increase in frequency. B. A large pattern of penguins wandering alone is formed. C. Environmental changes may speed penguins’ extinction. D. Human interference is needed to bring this penguin back. 31. What is the main idea of the text? A. The climate change intensifies in Antarctica B. A penguin successfully survived the elements C. A male penguin ended up on distant Australia D. Animal vagrancy draws attention from experts 【答案】28. B 29. B 30. A 31. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了一只雄性帝企鹅意外出现在澳大利亚，引发对动物流浪和南极环境变化的关注。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第二段中“Living in the coldest place on Earth, emperor penguins, which can grow up to 45 inches tall and live between 15 and 20 years, typically live in groups with populations that can range from a few hundred to thousands of members. (帝企鹅生活在地球上最寒冷的地方，可以长到45英寸高，寿命在15到20年之间，通常生活在几百到几千只的群体中。)”可知，帝企鹅倾向于群居。故选B。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第三段中“Thick feathers protect penguins from Antarctica’s cold temperatures and high winds, and substantial (大量的) fat stores allow them to survive with little or no food for long periods. These animals are also remarkable swimmers, capable of diving to depths of over 450 meters. These characteristics could certainly have helped this male penguin make the journey to Australia, says Youngflesh. (厚厚的羽毛保护企鹅免受南极的低温和大风的影响，大量的脂肪储存使它们能够在很少或没有食物的情况下长时间生存。这些动物也是了不起的游泳者，能够潜水到450米深的地方。“这些特征肯定有助于这只雄性企鹅来到澳大利亚，”Youngflesh说。)”可知，使Gus在旅途中存活下来的特征是它体内大量的脂肪储备。故选B。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。由文章最后一段中“To that end, while this unusual event isn’t currently indication of a larger pattern, experts should take note as animal vagrancy can expand in the future, says Youngflesh. (为此，Youngflesh说，虽然这一不寻常的事件目前还没有表明一个更大的模式，但专家们应该注意到，因为动物流浪在未来可能会扩大。)”可知，动物流浪的频率可能会增加。故选A。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是由文章第一段中“As explorers of the wild, penguins often wander around. Normally, these ice-cold explorations are pretty short-lived. But one emperor penguin, now named Gus, alone and hungry, recently landed on a beach in Australia, more than 2,000 miles away from its native Antarctica. (作为野外探险家，企鹅经常四处游荡。通常，这些冰冷的探索是相当短暂的。但最近，一只名叫Gus的帝企鹅独自一只饥饿地降落在澳大利亚的一个海滩上，距离它的家乡南极洲2000多英里。)”可知，文章主要讲述了一只名叫Gus的雄性帝企鹅独自出现在遥远的澳大利亚。故选C。 D Taking at least twenty minutes out of your day to walk or sit in a place that makes you feel in contact with nature will significantly lower your stress hormone levels. That's the finding of a study that has established for the first time the most effective amount of an urban nature experience. Healthcare professionals can use this discovery to prescribe (开药) “nature-pills" in the knowledge that they have a real measurable effect "We know that spending time in nature reduces stress, but until now it was unclear how much is enough, how often to do it, or even what kind of nature experience will benefit us,” says Dr. Hunter, a lead author of this research. “Our study shows that for the greatest payoff, in terms of efficiently lowering levels of the stress hormone, you should spend 20 to 30 minutes sitting or walking in a place that provides you with a sense of nature. To assist healthcare professionals looking for evidence-based guidelines on what exactly to distribute, Hunter and her colleagues designed an experiment that would give a realistic estimate of an effective amount. Over an 8-week period, participants were asked to take a nature pill with a duration of 10 minutes or more, at least 3 times a week. Levels of stress hormone, were measured from saliva (唾液)samples taken before and after a nature pill, once every two weeks. The data revealed that just a twenty-minute nature experience was enough to significantly reduce stress levels. Healthcare professionals can use our results as an evidence-based rule of thumb on what to put in a nature-pill prescription," said Hunter. "It provides the first estimates of how nature experiences impact stress levels in the context of normal daily life. It breaks new ground by addressing some of the complexities of measuring an effective nature amount." 32. What's the great significance of the study? A. It finds out a new way to release stress. B. It can help doctors prescribe various pills C. It makes it clear that exercise can help release stress. D. It finds out the accurate amount of nature experience. 33. How did Hunter get the finding? A. By working with some doctors. B. By asking participants questions. C. By carrying out an experiment. D. By comparing the previous data. 34. What did Hunter think of the result of the study? A. It has drawbacks. B. It's meaningful. C. It's worth researching further. D. It needs more discussions. 35. What's the main idea of the text? A. Nature has close relationship with stress. B. We should stay in nature to keep healthy. C. We cannot get close to nature frequently. D. Staying in nature for proper time will lower stress level. 【答案】32. D 33. C 34. B 35. D 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了研究发现在自然中呆一段时间会降低压力水平。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“That's the finding of a study that has established for the first time the most effective amount of an urban nature experience.”可知，这项研究的意义在于它精确地确定了接触自然的时间量，故D项正确。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Hunter and her colleagues designed an experiment that would give a realistic estimate of an effective amount.”可知，Hunter是通过实验得出这一结果的，故C项正确。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“It breaks new ground by addressing some of the complexities of measuring an effective nature amount.”可知，这项研究的结果解决了测量有效接触自然时间量的复杂性，开辟了新的领域，由此可知，Hunter认为这项研究的结果是有意义的，故B项正确。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“Taking at least twenty minutes out of your day to walk or sit in a place that makes you feel in contact with nature will significantly lower your stress hormone levels”可知，每天至少抽出20分钟的时间去散步或坐在一个能让你感觉到与自然接触的地方，这会大大降低你的压力荷尔蒙水平，由此可知，本文介绍的是研究发现在自然中呆一段时间会降低压力水平，故D项正确。 【点睛】涉及到人物态度的推理判断题难度较大，文章一般不会直接表明作者的态度，需要我们根据人物在文中所说的话揣摩其态度，因为语言是最能反映出人物态度的，例如本篇第3题， 根据最后一段中Hunter所说的话“It breaks new ground by addressing some of the complexities of measuring an effective nature amount.”可知，这项研究的结果解决了测量有效接触自然时间量的复杂性，开辟了新的领域，特别是“breaks new ground”表明Hunter认为这项研究的结果是有意义的。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 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。 What makes great storytelling for film? There are some tips for filmmakers about the art of it. One of the most important elements of great storytelling for film is how the story is told. Great movies can throw curveballs (曲线球) that you don’t see coming. ___36___ The standard structure for any kind of storytelling is to introduce your characters, setting and genre at the start. Any problems should be encountered somewhere in the middle of the story. ___37___ If you’ve got a brilliant story, think about what would happen if you began your film with the ending. Try experimenting with the timing of events, and how the order can impact the audience’s view. With a clear structure, you should consider how to grab the audience’s attention quickly. ___38___ Your story may be wonderful, but if it takes too long to get into, you might lose your audience before you’ve got going. With so much competition, you need to act fast. Pay particular attention to the first 10 pages of your script. Remember that when reading the script, you should want to read on and be gripped. Let somebody read your script and ask them whether they want to continue on after 10 pages. ___39___ As with any content you create, understanding your audience is an important step. Who will want to watch this movie? What do they like doing and what interests them? ___40___ That can make it more attractive to the target audience. See if you can gather some statistics from any films that are in any way similar to the same genre. From this, you can judge who usually enjoys the genre, and who you can tailor your screenplay to. All in all, everything that goes into making a film, from costume choices to special effects, is there to reinforce the story. Next time, let’s talk more about the topic. A. The end involves the issues being resolved. B. Don’t forget to focus on character development. C. In the modern world everything moves at a fast speed. D. If so, that desire can be ten times stronger in your film. E. But they have a structure that isn’t too confusing to follow. F. Doing market research will help you revise your film’s screenplay. G. Making choices about the timing of events can heighten their impact. 【答案】36. E 37. A 38. C 39. D 40. F 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了电影制作中优秀叙事的一些技巧和要点。 【36题详解】 上文“Great movies can throw curveballs (曲线球) that you don’t see coming.(伟大的电影会打出你意想不到的曲线球)”说明伟大的电影会有意想不到的情节，空处承接上文，对上文进行补充说明，E选项“但它们有一个结构，不会让人太困惑。”中的“they”指代上文“Great movies”，与前一句形成对比关系，强调这些伟大的电影虽然情节出乎意料，但结构清晰，不会让人困惑，符合语境。故选E。 【37题详解】 上文“The standard structure for any kind of storytelling is to introduce your characters, setting and genre at the start. Any problems should be encountered somewhere in the middle of the story.(任何类型的故事讲述的标准结构都是在开头介绍你的角色、背景和类型。任何问题都应该在故事的中间部分出现)”说明故事的基本结构，包括开头介绍角色、背景和类型，中间遇到问题，空处承接上文，说明故事最后要解决的问题，A选项“结尾包括问题的解决。”说明结尾部分涉及解决问题，符合逻辑顺序。故选A。 【38题详解】 上文“With a clear structure, you should consider how to grab the audience’s attention quickly.(有了清晰的结构，你应该考虑如何迅速吸引观众的注意力)”及下文“Your story may be wonderful, but if it takes too long to get into, you might lose your audience before you’ve got going.

Instead, I just opened the door and let the dog out by himself. I kept an eye on him to make sure he would come back inside. However, another neighborhood dog quickly ran past our house, and our dog sped after to catch him. I hurriedly went to grab my coat so I could follow my dog, and then I rushed outside. Unfortunately, I was already too late, and my dog was nowhere in sight. I walked a few blocks, but I was unable to find him. Depressed, I returned home. My mother was standing at the door waiting, and she asked me what had happened. “I know I was supposed to walk our dog,” I admitted, “but I thought he would be able to go outside and come back by himself. Now he’s gone and I can’t find him anywhere.” My mother was very angry with me; she said I should have been more responsible. She decided to help by making some signs. The signs read, “Lost: A big black dog. Please call us right away” and she printed our phone number on the bottom. “Okay, Darrell,” she said, as she handed over those signs, “now go post these on all the street posts.” My sister and I grabbed the signs and we posted them along our street as well as along the surrounding streets. The whole time, I was incredibly sad and worried about our dog. All I could think about was how cold it was and how cold our dog must be. My sister wanted to go home, so I told her I’d walk her home, but then keep looking for the dog myself. 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。 I took my sister home and continued my search alone. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When I returned, my mother was waiting for me, smiling broadly. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: I took my sister home and continued my search alone. Carrying the signs made by my mother, I kept posting them. In the meantime, whenever there were people passing by, I would ask if they had met such a dog. I even knocked from door to door, asking if they had seen it. No luck. Nobody claimed to have spotted our dog. What if I had taken the dog out for a walk? Tears of regret welled up in my eyes. As the darkness fell, I decided to come back home to check if anybody had called. When I returned, my mother was waiting for me, smiling broadly. There, behind my mother, was our lovely dog looking up at me eagerly. Upon seeing me, it raced towards me. I couldn’t hold my tears. “It just came back by itself,” my mother said gently. Hugging the dog with relief, I apologized to my mother sincerely. “I am sure you have learned your lesson today,” my mother replied in a comforting voice. I played with my sister and the dog again. Despite the freezing weather outside, my heart warmed up. It was on the day that I learned the value of responsibility. 【解析】 【导语】本文以故事的发展为线索展开。一个星期六的早上，因为怕冷，作者没有出去遛狗，而是让狗自己出去了，然后导致自家的狗走丢了。所以，作者和妹妹带上妈妈做的牌子到街上去找他家的狗，费了很大周折，作者也没能找到他家的狗。当作者伤心的回家后，却发现狗自己回来了。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我把妹妹带回家，然后独自继续寻找。”可知，第一段可描写作者独自寻找他家的狗的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容“当我回来的时候，我的母亲正在等我，笑容灿烂。”可知，第二段可描写走丢的狗回来了，它是如何回来的，以及作者一家人高兴的心情。 2.续写线索：放狗出去——狗跑走——出去追狗——狗跑丢——寻找狗——狗回来了 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①走过：walk by/pass by/go by ②挨家敲门：knock from door to door/tap from door to door ③回家：return/go back home 情绪类 ①渴望地：eagerly / urgently/enthusiastically ②真诚地：sincerely / honestly/genuinely/truly 【点睛】[高分句型1] Carrying the signs made by my mother, I kept posting them.（运用了现在分词作状语） [高分句型2] In the meantime, whenever there were people passing by, I would ask if they had met such a dog.（运用了whenever引导的状语从句和if引导的宾语从句） [高分句型3] It was on the day that I learned the value of responsibility.（运用了强调句型） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $第一节听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。现在你有。5秒钟的时间阅读第一小题的有关内容。I've got my camera with me, but am I allowed to take . photos here?

The plausible leon, which is more than one hundred years old, is the gathering place for Young people on friday and saturday night and for parents and children on sunday afternoons. Four streets lead to the puzzle, which have White sidewalks and are tree lined. Hernandez street, which was named after a famous writer born in the city, contains all of the food stores, fish markets and vegetable stands.

B In 1999, John Smyth, a high-school teacher decided it was time to retire. Together with his wife Helen, he set off on a journey around Australia. But when they returned, John found he missed the classroom, so he spent another eight years doing casual teaching. Then he heard about a program known as Volunteers for Isolated Students’ Education (VISE), which pairs up energetic people with educational experience, usually retired teachers, with children whose schooling is largely done remotely, because they live too far away from towns and cities to attend regular schools. John grew up in the country and as a kid in the bush, he always dreamed of running with circus, but he didn’t even have much chance to see the circus in person. Therefore he was immediately interested in the program and got a travelling post as a teacher with Stardust Circus. The lesson timetable was built around the kid's performance schedules. “The eight-year-old I tutored was an awesome gymnast who was part of the teeterboard (跷跷板)act, ”he explains. “A big guy would jump on the other side, he would swing up in the air, do a couple of twirls(旋转) and land on his uncle’s shoulders. . . and his uncle was standing on the boy’s father’s shoulders!” The circus still includes some animal acts, including lions, monkeys, horses, goats and pigs. John and his wife Helen found it extraordinary enough to sink into sleep to the sound of lions roaring, but one day the lion-trainer, Matt, gave him a very special privilege, inviting him in to meet four 13-month-old lions in person. While it was understandably a little scary at first, for John it was a never-to-be-forgotten experience, which helped him realize his boyhood dream in his 75th year. 24. Why did John Smyth stay in the Stardust Circus? A. To run the circus. B. To live far from towns. C. To educate the children. D. To conduct a program. 25. What can we learn from the passage? A. Teachers of the VISE program live too far away. B. Children in the circus are taught at fixed time. C. John instructed the gymnast’s performance of swinging in the air. D. The couple enjoyed sleeping with the sound of lions roaring. 26. Which word best describes John’s experience of meeting the little lions? A. Scary. B. Upsetting. C. Boring. D. Memorable. 27. What is the best title for the text? A. Working for a Living B. Returning to School C. Running with the Circus D. Travelling with Animals C As explorers of the wild, penguins often wander around. Normally, these ice-cold explorations are pretty short-lived. But one emperor penguin, now named Gus, alone and hungry, recently landed on a beach in Australia, more than 2,000 miles away from its native Antarctica. In the bird world, rare migrations such as these are referred to as vagrancies (流浪), says Casey Youngflesh, an associate professor at Clemson University. Living in the coldest place on Earth, emperor penguins, which can grow up to 45 inches tall and live between 15 and 20 years, typically live in groups with populations that can range from a few hundred to thousands of members. But even large population isn’t a guarantee of survival, and penguins survived due to several unique adaptations. Thick feathers protect penguins from Antarctica’s cold temperatures and high winds, and substantial (大量的) fat stores allow them to survive with little or no food for long periods. These animals are also remarkable swimmers, capable of diving to depths of over 450 meters. These characteristics could certainly have helped this male penguin make the journey to Australia, says Youngflesh. Determining what exactly caused the penguin to end up in Australia is another matter, as some experts suggest that he could have been blown off course by a storm and gotten lost or had some of its other navigational senses disturbed in some way. Despite how infrequently penguins land on Australia, Gus’s case may indicate how quickly the Antarctic environment is changing and how local species are affected. Emperor penguins, for example, depend on stable sea ice to reproduce, but as climate change increasingly causes ice shelves to melt, the species is expected to undergo rapid population decline in the next few decades. Vast environmental changes and less food sources mean that some animals must search farther for food and shelter than they otherwise would. To that end, while this unusual event isn’t currently indication of a larger pattern, experts should take note as animal vagrancy can expand in the future, says Youngflesh. 28. What can we learn about emperor penguins? A. They rarely explore the wild. B. They tend to live in communities. C. They migrate to Australia for food. D. They live longer than other animals. 29. Which feature enabled Gus to survive during the journey? A. Its waterproof feathers. B. Its considerable fat stores. C. Its disturbed navigational senses. D. Its adaptation to animal vagrancy. 30. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. Animal vagrancies are likely to increase in frequency. B. A large pattern of penguins wandering alone is formed. C. Environmental changes may speed penguins’ extinction. D. Human interference is needed to bring this penguin back. 31. What is the main idea of the text? A. The climate change intensifies in Antarctica B. A penguin successfully survived the elements C. A male penguin ended up on distant Australia D. Animal vagrancy draws attention from experts D Taking at least twenty minutes out of your day to walk or sit in a place that makes you feel in contact with nature will significantly lower your stress hormone levels. That's the finding of a study that has established for the first time the most effective amount of an urban nature experience. Healthcare professionals can use this discovery to prescribe (开药) “nature-pills" in the knowledge that they have a real measurable effect "We know that spending time in nature reduces stress, but until now it was unclear how much is enough, how often to do it, or even what kind of nature experience will benefit us,” says Dr. Hunter, a lead author of this research. “Our study shows that for the greatest payoff, in terms of efficiently lowering levels of the stress hormone, you should spend 20 to 30 minutes sitting or walking in a place that provides you with a sense of nature. To assist healthcare professionals looking for evidence-based guidelines on what exactly to distribute, Hunter and her colleagues designed an experiment that would give a realistic estimate of an effective amount. Over an 8-week period, participants were asked to take a nature pill with a duration of 10 minutes or more, at least 3 times a week. Levels of stress hormone, were measured from saliva (唾液)samples taken before and after a nature pill, once every two weeks. The data revealed that just a twenty-minute nature experience was enough to significantly reduce stress levels. Healthcare professionals can use our results as an evidence-based rule of thumb on what to put in a nature-pill prescription," said Hunter. "It provides the first estimates of how nature experiences impact stress levels in the context of normal daily life. It breaks new ground by addressing some of the complexities of measuring an effective nature amount." 32. What's the great significance of the study? A. It finds out a new way to release stress. B. It can help doctors prescribe various pills C. It makes it clear that exercise can help release stress. D. It finds out the accurate amount of nature experience. 33. How did Hunter get the finding? A. By working with some doctors. B. By asking participants questions. C. By carrying out an experiment. D. By comparing the previous data. 34. What did Hunter think of the result of the study? A. It has drawbacks. B. It's meaningful. C. It's worth researching further. D. It needs more discussions. 35. What's the main idea of the text? A. Nature has close relationship with stress. B. We should stay in nature to keep healthy. C. We cannot get close to nature frequently. D. Staying in nature for proper time will lower stress level. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 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。 What makes great storytelling for film?

Instead, I just opened the door and let the dog out by himself. I kept an eye on him to make sure he would come back inside. However, another neighborhood dog quickly ran past our house, and our dog sped after to catch him. I hurriedly went to grab my coat so I could follow my dog, and then I rushed outside. Unfortunately, I was already too late, and my dog was nowhere in sight. I walked a few blocks, but I was unable to find him. Depressed, I returned home. My mother was standing at the door waiting, and she asked me what had happened. “I know I was supposed to walk our dog,” I admitted, “but I thought he would be able to go outside and come back by himself. Now he’s gone and I can’t find him anywhere.” My mother was very angry with me; she said I should have been more responsible. She decided to help by making some signs. The signs read, “Lost: A big black dog. Please call us right away” and she printed our phone number on the bottom. “Okay, Darrell,” she said, as she handed over those signs, “now go post these on all the street posts.” My sister and I grabbed the signs and we posted them along our street as well as along the surrounding streets. The whole time, I was incredibly sad and worried about our dog. All I could think about was how cold it was and how cold our dog must be. My sister wanted to go home, so I told her I’d walk her home, but then keep looking for the dog myself. 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。 I took my sister home and continued my search alone. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When I returned, my mother was waiting for me, smiling broadly. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
