B School is still out for the summer, but at Eastern Senior High School in Washington. D. C., students are hard at work outdoors. In a garden filled with flowers, vegetables and herbs, nearly a dozen teenagers are harvesting (收获) vegetables for the weekend's farmers market. Anita is going into her junior year at Eastern, and has been working in this garden for three years now. In summer, Anita works from 9 a. m. to 2 p. m., Tuesday to Saturday and gets paid by City Blossoms. It is a nonprofit group, which builds community gardens for city schools. She believes that gardening has taught her to try all sorts of new things, like eating a wider variety of vegetables regularly. She brought these healthy habits home, and her improved diet even inspired her family to buy more fruits and vegetables. Anita's experience is a good example of the broader impact that City Blossoms aims to create. City Blossoms is one of many groups across the country that team up with local communities to establish school gardens. It cooperates with schools to build garden classrooms. Besides, it offers training to teachers to attract students’ attention and improve their grades. These gardens effectively function as open-air classrooms. For example, they can be used for math lessons, like calculating the area of a plant bed or learning the science of how plants grow. For the students, the experience has totally changed their views on where food comes from, and what it takes to produce food. Partner schools have also seen a 12-15% rise in the number of students passing standardized tests(标准化考试) and 94% of teachers reported seeing increased engagement from their students, according to an independent evaluation conducted by PEER Associates. 24. What does Anita think of the summer outdoor activity? A. It brings her whole family closer. B. It helps her perform better at school. C. It is a nice way to earn pocket money. D. It contributes to her healthy eating habit. 25. What is the main original purpose of building school gardens? A. To increase students' test scores. B. To provide a creative way of learning. C. To make students fall in love with planting. D. To help teachers improve professional skills. 26. What aspect of City Blossoms is discussed in the last paragraph? A. Its daily operations. B. Its practical effects. C. Its applications. D. Its expectations. 27. What can be the most suitable title for the text? A. City Blossoms: More Than a Garden B. Healthy Eating: Changing Family Habits C. Gardening: A Summer Part-time Job for Students D. Outdoor Classrooms: More Than Planting Lessons C How do you beat the summer heat? If you' re like most people, you turn the air conditioning on when it's the hottest time of the day. But what if you could use nonpeak (非高峰的) electrical hours and store the cold to use the next day? This idea has become a reality for a New York City high-rise that's being cooled by ice. Eleven Madison, a tall building in the heart of Manhattan, is using cool, frozen ice overnight to cool the building, reported CBS News. Four floors underground, an ice battery system (冰蓄冷储能系统) freezes water at night when electricity use is low. Later in the daytime, the ice will cool the whole building. “There’s about 500,000 pounds of ice created every night,” said Holly Paeper,president of Trane Technologies, a company in charge of this equipment. Air conditioning uses nearly 20% of energy use in homes and businesses around the world. However, on extremely hot days, that number can jump to 70%. Devices like the one in Eleven Madison help cut such huge power waste. According to Paeper, the company has put this technology into about 4,000 buildings worldwide. The system in the basement of Eleven Madison uses 100 tanks, and each tank is as big as a parking spot. Freezing water costs much energy, so scientists improved the system, Dr. Patrick Shamberger from Texas A&M explained, “We mix water with special materials. Then we can control its temperature between 0℃ and 20℃ easily.” While ice batteries aren't being used to cool food or to power electrical devices, they' re being used to cool buildings. At present, if we use ice batteries together with renewable (可再生的)energy storage, power systems can work well on hot days and cut electricity costs. This technology brings benefits to both power stations and building owners—— a perfect win-win solution. 28. What is special about the cooling way of Eleven Madison? A. It depends on traditional air conditioning all day long. B. It stores cold air from winter and uses it in hot summer. C. It uses ice made at night to cool the building in the daytime. D. It makes full use of renewable energy to produce electricity. 29. Why does the author mention the figures“20%” and“70%” in paragraph 3? A. To prove that ice batteries waste energy. B. To compare energy use in different places. C. To explain the high cost of air conditioning. D. To show the huge cooling energy demand. 30. What can we learn about the ice battery system from Paragraph 4? A. It is widely used in homes and companies. B. It uses pure water without other elements. C. It takes too much space to be widely used. D. It can work within a range of temperature. 31. What is the author's attitude toward the ice battery system? A. Supportive. B. Unconcerned. C. Cautious. D. Critical. D A new study links refined carbohydrates (精制碳水化合物) to facial attractiveness. Researchers found that people eating breakfast with high glycemic load were judged less attractive than those whose breakfast had low glycemic load. The study involved 104 participants. Who arrived early in the morning on an empty stomach. They were divided into two groups. Both groups ate breakfast with equal calories, but one had lots of refined carbs while the other did not. About two hours later, they were photographed under the same lighting, background, and positioning. Then another group of people, carefully chosen to reduce cultural bias(偏见), rated how good-looking each person seemed. To learn about long-term eating habits, participants answered questions about what they had eaten the day before. This information. helped calculate their glycemic load and energy intake, offering a clear picture of their usual consumption of refined carbohydrates. The researchers drew a clear conclusion: people who had high-glycemic breakfast looked less attractive, and this result worked for both men and women. They explained this result may come from physical changes caused by unstable blood sugar, such as changes in blood flow and skin color after eating high-glycemic food. For long-term daily diets, taking in more energy at breakfast made both genders(性别) look more attractive. Foods rich in fat and protein digest slowly, and they may improve one's appearance. However, this influence changed with different meals and differed between men and women. When it came to afternoon snacks, high glycemic load helped men look better, while low glycemic load brought better looks to women. This study has certain limits, but its results remind us that daily food choices have far-reaching influences on us. Scientists need more research to find out how diet, body conditions and social feelings interact, 32. What does the underlined word “glycemic” probably mean in paragraph 12 A. Fat storage in human bodies. B. Sugar levels in the blood. C. The speed of protein digestion. D. Calories from daily snacks. 33. What are paragraphs 2 and 3 mainly about? A. The research purpose. B. The research methods. C. The research proposal. D. The research background. 34. What can we learn about the research findings? A. Rapid blood sugar change may reduce attractiveness. B. High-energy meals have the same influence on women. C. Low blood sugar could impact people's looks positively. D. Men are hardly influenced by refined carbohydrate food. 35. What is the writer's purpose in writing the text? A. To explain people's favorite good types. B. To report a brand-new scientific research. C. To study the link between diet and looks. D. To describe a biological change process. 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。 One of the best descriptions of love comes from the 1998 movie Practical Magic, when Gillian tells her nieces, You ever put your arms out and spin (晕眩) really, really fast?… Well, that’s what love is like.” 36 To begin with, love may help you live longer. A 2017 study found that people in happy relationships have a 49% lower risk of death from all causes. 37 For example, partners often encourage each other to develop healthier habits, such as eating better or getting more sleep. A 2015 study showed that if one partner quits smoking or exercises more, the other is likely to follow. Around two-thirds of people increased their physical activity after their partner did the same. 38 Happily coupled individuals show reduced blood pressure when talking to each other, which helps ease anxiety and depression. When a couple has a happy partnership, they' re calmer. Researchers believe the mental benefits here are due to the satisfaction and support happily coupled people receive. The study also pulled in the effects of other social relationships and found that a relationship partner still made the biggest difference. In addition, love can improve sleep quality and strengthen the immune system. A long-term study found that people in happier relationships at age 23 reported better sleep quality at 37. This effect is unique to people in romantic relationships. 39 Another study showed that feelings of love help regulate immune system genes, making people less likely to catch colds. Interestingly, the same genetic changes occur when the body prepares for pregnancy (怀孕). Finally, love may even reduce physical pain. 40 The effect is powerful. Looking at a photo of a loved one activates dopamine centers in the brain, reducing pain almost as effectively as painkillers. Feelings of love are related to certain genes (基因), leading to fewer colds, and couples with more positive interactions even heal from wounds more quickly. Clearly, love does more than warm the heart— it strengthens the entire body as well. A. It may even work like a drug in the brain. B. This won't happen between friends or strangers. C. Love also lowers blood pressure and improves mental health. D. As a result, unhappy couples often suffer from more illnesses. E. This is partly due to the influence partners have on each other. F. Beyond the dizzy and thrilling feeling, love brings real health benefits. G. Therefore, love is not just an emotion— it's a biological necessity for humans. 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) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 I sent an email to my friend Sam, inviting him to an interactive concert combining Yeats ‘poem The Second Coming with live music.
