Here is a list of some of the best podcasts that you must see. Learn English Podcast This podcast has three levels. The first is for beginners, the second is for intermediates (中级学生) and the third is for upper intermediates. If a person wants to learn Business English, then episodes are also made for him. Every podcast is short but very informative. Worksheets (活页练习题) and vocabulary tasks are also included. Speaking Broadly This podcast is made for advanced learners. Explained through discussion and interviews, each episode has non-native English speakers and every recording also has expert feedback. You will see some common mistakes made by English learners and you can improve your English by learning from those mistakes. The English We Speak This podcast airs one episode daily and every episode is only three to four minutes, which talks about phrases and idioms. There are two people in each episode who communicate with each other. Whatever level you are, you will find it rewarding. Elementary Podcast This podcast is mainly for beginners and intermediate level learners. The length of a podcast is around 25 minutes but you can pause it anytime and continue whenever you want. The hosts of each episode are different. 1. Which podcast provides exercises going with it? A. Speaking Broadly. B. Elementary Podcast. C. The English We Speak. D. Learn English Podcast. 2. What do we know about Speaking Broadly? A. It records just expert speakers. B. It targets beginners. C. It presents some typical mistakes. D. It provides feedback from listeners. 3. What do The English We Speak and Elementary Podcast have in common? A. They are both interactive. B. They cater for beginners. C. They have the same length. D. They share the same contents. 【答案】1. D 2. C 3. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了四个帮助学习英语的播客。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Learn English Podcast”下面的“Worksheets (活页练习题) and vocabulary tasks are also included.(还包括活页练习题和词汇任务。)”可知，Learn English Podcast提供了活页练习题和词汇练习。故选D。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Speaking Broadly”下面的“You will see some common mistakes made by English learners and you can improve your English by learning from those mistakes.(你会看到英语学习者犯的一些常见错误，你可以通过从这些错误中学习来提高你的英语水平。)”可知，该播客提供了英语学习者会常犯的错误。故选C。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The English We Speak”下面的“Whatever level you are, you will find it rewarding.(无论你是什么水平，你都会发现它是有益的。)”和“Elementary Podcast”下面的“This podcast is mainly for beginners and intermediate level learners.(该播客主要面向初学者和中级学习者。)”可知，二者都适合初学者。故选B。 B Life can be challenging, particularly for people with autism (自闭症). It is a disorder that does not have one single cause and can take many forms. Most often, it creates difficulty in communicating and interacting with others. Severe autism may leave someone unable to speak entirely or function without assistance. But many people with autism have led rewarding or even outstanding lives. One such person is Haley Moss. As a three-year-old, Haley was able to do difficult tasks such as finishing large puzzles. However, she couldn’t say simple words like “Mommy.” The concerned parents took her to a doctor. After careful examination, the doctors diagnosed (诊断) her as having autism. At the time, the family was given some extremely negative news. “My parents were told that I would be lucky to have friends or even hold a minimum wage job,” Haley said. Yet, by getting professional help, Haley was able to join regular school classes at four. She did quite well at school, although with her poor social skills, it was hard for her to make friends. Eventually, Haley became so successful that she made history. After graduating from the University of Miami, she got hired by a law firm and became the first autistic lawyer in Florida. Being a lawyer wasn’t her first choice of career, though. Previous to going to law school, she studied psychology (心理学) and considered becoming a psychologist to help others with autism. However, Haley discovered she didn’t enjoy the science classes, so she decided that becoming a lawyer would fit her interests better. In addition to being a legal professional, Haley has also published books and has a talent for painting. Most definitely, Haley has far exceeded those original low expectations of her and proven the experts wrong. In short, she has become a role model for others with autism. 4. What can be inferred about autism according to paragraph 1? A. It affects people in different ways. B. It leads to the loss of speech function. C. It is a disorder that can be easily cured. D. It prevents people from leading successful lives. 5. What negative prediction did Haley’s parents receive from the doctor? A. Haley would never learn to speak. B. Haley would struggle with puzzles. C. Haley would fail to graduate from school. D. Haley might not have friends or hold a basic job. 6. Why did Haley choose to become a lawyer instead of a psychologist? A. She thought psychology too difficult to learn. B. She hoped to become the first autistic lawyer. C. She wanted to help people with autism as a lawyer. D. She realized entering the field of law better suited her interests. 7. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. A Career in Law: The Journey of Haley Moss. B. Overcoming Challenges: The Story of Autism. C. Understanding Autism: Causes and Challenges. D. Haley Moss: Overcoming Autism and Making History. 【答案】4. A 5. D 6. D 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了自闭症患者Haley Moss克服挑战、创造历史的故事。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Life can be challenging, particularly for people with autism (自闭症). It is a disorder that does not have one single cause and can take many forms. Most often, it creates difficulty in communicating and interacting with others. Severe autism may leave someone unable to speak entirely or function without assistance.(生活可能是充满挑战的，特别是对于自闭症患者。它是一种没有单一原因的疾病，可以表现为多种形式。在大多数情况下，它会造成与他人沟通和互动的困难。严重的自闭症可能会让一个人完全无法说话或无法在没有帮助的情况下生活。)”可推知，自闭症对人的影响是不同的，有的人可能无法说话，有的人可能只是社交困难，即它对不同的人有着不同的影响。故选A项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“‘My parents were told that I would be lucky to have friends or even hold a minimum wage job,’ Haley said.(Haley说：‘我父母被告知，我能有朋友或甚至能做一份最低工资的工作就算幸运了。’)”可知，Haley的父母从医生那里得到的负面预测是Haley可能交不到朋友或不能从事基本的工作。故选D项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“However, Haley discovered she didn’t enjoy the science classes, so she decided that becoming a lawyer would fit her interests better.(然而，Haley发现她不喜欢科学课，所以她决定成为一名律师更符合她的兴趣。)”可知，Haley选择成为一名律师而不是心理学家是因为她意识到进入法律领域更符合她的兴趣。故选D项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第三段中的“Eventually, Haley became so successful that she made history. After graduating from the University of Miami, she got hired by a law firm and became the first autistic lawyer in Florida.(最终，Haley取得了如此巨大的成功，创造了历史。从迈阿密大学毕业后，她被一家律师事务所录用，成为佛罗里达州第一位自闭症律师。)”可知，本文主要讲述了Haley Moss克服自闭症，创造历史的故事。故D选项“Haley Moss: Overcoming Autism and Making History(Haley Moss：克服自闭症，创造历史)”最符合文章标题。故选D项。 C Do audiobooks (有声读物) qualify as reading? There is a pride in being well read. Admitting you have only listened to a book usually sounds like an apology. I used to feel the same way. Years ago, sitting in an airport bar, I noticed a man scrolling through his phone as a robotic voice read every word aloud at high speed. At first, I thought it was meaningless. Then I realized he was blind and was using a feature phone. While I was watching him — absorbed in the words, taking in their meaning — it struck me that he was reading the same way I did with my eyes. Because I have a reading disorder, reading has never come easy. Later, I tried a similar feature on my phone. For the first time, I could effortlessly absorb ideas and focus in a way I hadn’t before. Reading builds understanding, focus and critical thinking. However, there has been a drop of more than 40% in daily reading for pleasure in America over the past two decades. Meanwhile, listening to books is on the rise. Audiobook sales reached about $2.2 billion last year nationwide. And audio circulation in libraries has risen by 65% in the past five years while circulation of print and e-books has stayed flat. Obviously, audio has overtaken e-books in driving growth. So maybe removing the prejudice against audiobooks gives us a better way to think about what reading really is. The brains of people reading or listening to the same stories actually process meaning in almost the same way. Casual or distracted listening, like playing an audiobook while doing chores, doesn’t appear to engage people fully. But attentive listening can be as beneficial as print reading — even better for those with reading disabilities. Tens of millions of people now listen as they follow the text. Whether we read by eye, by ear or by both, it all counts. What matters is that the words get in, the brain makes meaning and the identity of being a reader takes hold. We need more readers, however they get there. 8. What changed the author’s attitude towards listening to books? A. His reading disorder. B. A blind man’s way of reading. C. His love for audiobooks. D. A new phone function. 9. What does the data in paragraph 3 reveal? A. Audiobooks add more pleasure to Americans’ daily reading. B. Audiobooks have changed people’s attitudes toward reading. C. Audiobooks are replacing print and e-books in the market. D. Audiobooks have become a key force in book market growth. 10. What does attentive listening bring according to paragraph 4? A. A guaranteed comprehension boost. B. The best meaning-processing way. C. A likely cure for reading disabilities. D. The same effect as print reading. 11. What does the author indicate about reading in the last paragraph? A. All roads lead to Rome. B. It’s never too late to learn. C. Practice makes perfect. D. Actions speak louder than words. 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了作者由观察一位盲人用手机听书的经历而改变对有声读物的偏见，指出听书与纸质阅读在大脑处理意义上几乎相同，无论用眼睛读、用耳朵听还是两者结合都算阅读，重要的是文字进入大脑、成为读者。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Then I realized he was blind and was using a feature phone. While I was watching him — absorbed in the words, taking in their meaning — it struck me that he was reading the same way I did with my eyes.(后来我意识到他是一位盲人，正在使用功能手机。当我看着他——全神贯注于文字，领会其中含义——时，我突然想到他和我用眼睛阅读的方式是一样的。)”可知，是一位盲人的阅读方式触动了作者，使其改变了对听书的态度。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Audiobook sales reached about $2.2 billion last year nationwide. And audio circulation in libraries has risen by 65% in the past five years while circulation of print and e-books has stayed flat. Obviously, audio has overtaken e-books in driving growth.(去年全国有声读物销售额约达22亿美元；过去五年图书馆有声读物流通量增长了65%，而纸质书和电子书流通量持平。显然，在推动增长方面有声读物已超过电子书。)”可知，有声读物销量与流通量大幅攀升，纸质书和电子书则停滞不前。由此推知，有声读物已成为图书市场增长的关键力量。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“But attentive listening can be as beneficial as print reading — even better for those with reading disabilities.(但专心倾听可以和纸质阅读一样有益——对有阅读障碍的人甚至更好。)”可知，专心倾听与纸质阅读具有相同的效果。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Whether we read by eye, by ear or by both, it all counts. What matters is that the words get in, the brain makes meaning and the identity of being a reader takes hold. We need more readers, however they get there.(无论我们是用眼睛读、用耳朵读还是两者都用，这都算数。重要的是文字进入，大脑产生意义，并且作为读者的身份扎根下来。我们需要更多的读者，无论他们如何到达那里。)”可知，作者认为阅读的途径并不重要，重要的是阅读本身及其最终效果。由此推知，这应了“条条大路通罗马”之意。 D We all know fresh is best when it comes to food. However, most produce at the store went through weeks of travel and covered hundreds of miles before reaching the table. While farmer’s markets are a solid choice to reduce the journey, Babylon Micro-Farm (BMF) shortens it even more. BMF is an indoor garden system. It can be set up for a family. Additionally, it could serve a larger audience such as a hospital, restaurant or school. The innovative design requires little effort to achieve a reliable weekly supply of fresh greens. Specifically, it’s a farm that relies on new technology. By connecting through the Cloud, BMF is remotely monitored. Also, there is a convenient app that provides growing data in real time. Because the system is automated, it significantly reduces the amount of water needed to grow plants. Rather than watering rows of soil, the system provides just the right amount to each plant. After harvest, users simply replace the plants with a new pre-seeded pod (容器) to get the next growth cycle started. Moreover, having a system in the same building where it’s eaten means zero emissions (排放) from transporting plants from soil to salad. In addition, there’s no need for pesticides and other chemicals that pollute traditional farms and the surrounding environment. BMF employees live out sustainability in their everyday lives. About half of them walk or bike to work. Inside the office, they encourage recycling and waste reduction by limiting garbage cans and avoiding single-use plastic. “We are passionate about reducing waste, carbon and chemicals in our environment,” said a BMF employee. 12. What can be learned about BMF from paragraph 1? A. It guarantees the variety of food. B. It requires day-to-day care. C. It cuts the farm-to-table distance. D. It relies on farmer’s markets. 13. What information does the convenient app offer? A. Real-time weather changes. B. Current condition of the plants. C. Chemical pollutants in the soil. D. Availability of pre-seeded pods. 14. What can be concluded about BMF employees? A. They have a great passion for sports. B. They are devoted to community service. C. They are fond of sharing daily experiences. D. They have a strong environmental awareness. 15. What does the text mainly talk about? A. BMF’s major strengths. B. BMF’s general management. C. BMF’s global influence. D. BMF’s technical standards. 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了巴比伦微农场（BMF）的一些主要优势，包括减少食物运输距离、通过云技术远程监控、自动化系统节约水资源、减少化学污染、以及员工的环保生活方式等。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“While farmer’s markets are a solid choice to reduce the journey, Babylon Micro-Farm (BMF) shortens it even more. (虽然农贸市场是减少旅程的可靠选择，但巴比伦微型农场（BMF）甚至缩短了旅程)”可知，巴比伦微型农场（BMF）进一步缩短了从农场到餐桌的距离。故选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Also, there is a convenient app that provides growing data in real time. (此外，还有一个便捷的应用程序，可以实时提供增长数据)”可知，这个便捷的应用程序提供了植物生长的实时数据。故选B。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“BMF employees live out sustainability in their everyday lives. About half of them walk or bike to work. Inside the office, they encourage recycling and waste reduction by limiting garbage cans and avoiding single-use plastic. “We are passionate about reducing waste, carbon and chemicals in our environment,” said a BMF employee. (BMF员工在日常生活中追求可持续发展。大约一半的人步行或骑自行车上班。在办公室里，他们通过限制垃圾桶和避免一次性塑料来鼓励回收和减少浪费。BMF的一名员工表示：“我们热衷于减少环境中的废物、碳和化学品。”)”可知，BMF员工具有强烈的环保意识。故选D。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“While farmer’s markets are a solid choice to reduce the journey, Babylon Micro-Farm (BMF) shortens it even more. (虽然农贸市场是减少旅程的可靠选择，但巴比伦微型农场（BMF）甚至缩短了旅程)”、第三段“By connecting through the Cloud, BMF is remotely monitored. Also, there is a convenient app that provides growing data in real time. Because the system is automated, it significantly reduces the amount of water needed to grow plants. Rather than watering rows of soil, the system provides just the right amount to each plant. (通过云连接，对BMF进行远程监控。此外，还有一个方便的应用程序可以实时提供不断增长的数据。由于该系统是自动化的，因此大大减少了种植植物所需的水量。该系统不是给一排排土壤浇水，而是为每株植物提供合适的水量)”以及最后一段“BMF employees live out sustainability in their everyday lives. About half of them walk or bike to work. Inside the office, they encourage recycling and waste reduction by limiting garbage cans and avoiding single-use plastic. “We are passionate about reducing waste, carbon and chemicals in our environment,” said a BMF employee. (BMF员工在日常生活中追求可持续发展。大约一半的人步行或骑自行车上班。在办公室里，他们通过限制垃圾桶和避免一次性塑料来鼓励回收和减少浪费。BMF的一名员工表示：“我们热衷于减少环境中的废物、碳和化学品。”)”可知，文章主要介绍了巴比伦微农场（BMF）的一些主要优势，包括减少食物运输距离、通过云技术远程监控、自动化系统节约水资源、减少化学污染、以及员工的环保生活方式等。故选A。 【点睛】 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。 Hosting a get-together at home is one of the most special experiences — it lets you share great moments in a comfortable, familiar atmosphere. ____16____ ; just a bit of imagination will do.

She had excellent grades and was considered as one of the top students in her school. However, Lily had a rather irritable (易怒的) personality. Because her parents gave her high pressure that she must keep her top place in her school. Her mind was only focused on her grades, leaving little room for anything else. One day, after receiving a lower grade than she expected on an important test. Lily was falling apart. Sad and overwhelmed, she even started considering her failure was due to her parents. She quarreled with her parents and kept them out of her room. Lily’s parents turned to the school teacher Mr. Thompson for help. They poured out all the bad present situations to him. Mr. Thompson was a professional teacher with a deep understanding of the importance of a balanced lifestyle. He recognized that it was Lily’s too much worry about grades that was having a bad effect on her and the parent-child relationships. Mr. Thompson advised Lily’s parents to calm down first. And after school, he approached Lily and gently suggested they go for a run together. At first, Lily refused, saying that it would take her too much time. Besides, she couldn’t understand how running could be beneficial to her academic success. 注意：1．续写词数应为150个左右; 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 “Believe me, Lily,” Mr. Thompson said, and finally Lily agreed to give it a try. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Seeing Lily’s change, Mr. Thompson recommended her to give a speech to her classmates. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: “Believe me, Lily,” Mr. Thompson said, and finally Lily agreed to give it a try. For the next six months, Mr. Thompson and Lily would go for a run every day after school. They started with short distances, gradually increasing the length and intensity of their runs. In the beginning, Lily struggled to keep up, but as time went by, she found herself becoming more and more engaged in this practice with Mr. Thompson. As Lily continued her daily runs, something remarkable started to happen. Lily’s once imitable personality slowly began to disappear, and she apologized to her parents for her former rudeness. Her grades remained consistently high with a changed lifestyle. Seeing Lily’s change, Mr. Thompson recommended her to give a speech to her classmates. In her speech, Lily expressed her gratitude to Mr. Thompson who helped her get rid of stress and build a good relationship with her parents. She explained that academic success was just one aspect of the identity and that physical and mental well-being were equally crucial. She said engaging in sports and exercise not only improved her overall health but also enhanced her ability to handle pressure. Through her own change, she encouraged her classmates to join her for runs, advocating the integration of sports into their lives. 【解析】 【导语】文章以人物为线索展开，讲述了一个名叫Lily的高中生，她因为父母给予的高压力而过于关注学业成绩，导致性格易怒，并因一次考试成绩不理想而情绪低落，与父母产生矛盾。学校老师Mr. Thompson意识到Lily过分担心成绩对她的身心健康和亲子关系产生了负面影响，因此建议Lily的父母冷静下来，并亲自接近Lily，建议她一起去跑步以放松身心。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容““相信我，Lily。”Thompson先生说，最后Lily同意试一试。”可知，第一段可描写Lily坚持跑步以及由此而带来的变化。 ②由第二段首句内容“看到Lily的变化，Thompson先生推荐她给同学做演讲。”可知，第二段可描写Lily演讲的内容并鼓励同学们将运动融入生活。 2.续写线索：坚持跑步——身心发生变化——做演讲——感谢Thompson先生——倡导将运动融入生活 3.词汇激活 行为类 跟上：keep up/catch up 从事于：become engaged in/work on 帮助：help/assist 清理：get rid of/clear up 情绪类 表达感谢：express one’s gratitude to/express one’s appreciation to 鼓励某人做某事：encourage sb to do sth/inspire sb to do sth 【点睛】[高分句型1] As Lily continued her daily runs, something remarkable started to happen.（运用了as引导时间状语从句） [高分句型2] She explained that academic success was just one aspect of the identity and that physical and mental well-being were equally crucial.（运用了that引导宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高二英语第一次月考试卷 考试时间：120分钟 注意事项： 1．答题前填写好自己的姓名、班级、考号等信息 2．请将答案正确填写在答题卡上 第Ⅰ卷（选择题） 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三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。 1．Who will come to the ball?

Here is a list of some of the best podcasts that you must see. Learn English Podcast This podcast has three levels. The first is for beginners, the second is for intermediates (中级学生) and the third is for upper intermediates. If a person wants to learn Business English, then episodes are also made for him. Every podcast is short but very informative. Worksheets (活页练习题) and vocabulary tasks are also included. Speaking Broadly This podcast is made for advanced learners. Explained through discussion and interviews, each episode has non-native English speakers and every recording also has expert feedback. You will see some common mistakes made by English learners and you can improve your English by learning from those mistakes. The English We Speak This podcast airs one episode daily and every episode is only three to four minutes, which talks about phrases and idioms. There are two people in each episode who communicate with each other. Whatever level you are, you will find it rewarding. Elementary Podcast This podcast is mainly for beginners and intermediate level learners. The length of a podcast is around 25 minutes but you can pause it anytime and continue whenever you want. The hosts of each episode are different. 1. Which podcast provides exercises going with it? A. Speaking Broadly. B. Elementary Podcast. C. The English We Speak. D. Learn English Podcast. 2. What do we know about Speaking Broadly? A. It records just expert speakers. B. It targets beginners. C. It presents some typical mistakes. D. It provides feedback from listeners. 3. What do The English We Speak and Elementary Podcast have in common? A. They are both interactive. B. They cater for beginners. C. They have the same length. D. They share the same contents. B Life can be challenging, particularly for people with autism (自闭症). It is a disorder that does not have one single cause and can take many forms. Most often, it creates difficulty in communicating and interacting with others. Severe autism may leave someone unable to speak entirely or function without assistance. But many people with autism have led rewarding or even outstanding lives. One such person is Haley Moss. As a three-year-old, Haley was able to do difficult tasks such as finishing large puzzles. However, she couldn’t say simple words like “Mommy.” The concerned parents took her to a doctor. After careful examination, the doctors diagnosed (诊断) her as having autism. At the time, the family was given some extremely negative news. “My parents were told that I would be lucky to have friends or even hold a minimum wage job,” Haley said. Yet, by getting professional help, Haley was able to join regular school classes at four. She did quite well at school, although with her poor social skills, it was hard for her to make friends. Eventually, Haley became so successful that she made history. After graduating from the University of Miami, she got hired by a law firm and became the first autistic lawyer in Florida. Being a lawyer wasn’t her first choice of career, though. Previous to going to law school, she studied psychology (心理学) and considered becoming a psychologist to help others with autism. However, Haley discovered she didn’t enjoy the science classes, so she decided that becoming a lawyer would fit her interests better. In addition to being a legal professional, Haley has also published books and has a talent for painting. Most definitely, Haley has far exceeded those original low expectations of her and proven the experts wrong. In short, she has become a role model for others with autism. 4. What can be inferred about autism according to paragraph 1? A. It affects people in different ways. B. It leads to the loss of speech function. C. It is a disorder that can be easily cured. D. It prevents people from leading successful lives. 5. What negative prediction did Haley’s parents receive from the doctor? A. Haley would never learn to speak. B. Haley would struggle with puzzles. C. Haley would fail to graduate from school. D. Haley might not have friends or hold a basic job. 6. Why did Haley choose to become a lawyer instead of a psychologist? A. She thought psychology too difficult to learn. B. She hoped to become the first autistic lawyer. C. She wanted to help people with autism as a lawyer. D. She realized entering the field of law better suited her interests. 7. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. A Career in Law: The Journey of Haley Moss. B. Overcoming Challenges: The Story of Autism. C. Understanding Autism: Causes and Challenges. D. Haley Moss: Overcoming Autism and Making History. C Do audiobooks (有声读物) qualify as reading? There is a pride in being well read. Admitting you have only listened to a book usually sounds like an apology. I used to feel the same way. Years ago, sitting in an airport bar, I noticed a man scrolling through his phone as a robotic voice read every word aloud at high speed. At first, I thought it was meaningless. Then I realized he was blind and was using a feature phone. While I was watching him — absorbed in the words, taking in their meaning — it struck me that he was reading the same way I did with my eyes. Because I have a reading disorder, reading has never come easy. Later, I tried a similar feature on my phone. For the first time, I could effortlessly absorb ideas and focus in a way I hadn’t before. Reading builds understanding, focus and critical thinking. However, there has been a drop of more than 40% in daily reading for pleasure in America over the past two decades. Meanwhile, listening to books is on the rise. Audiobook sales reached about $2.2 billion last year nationwide. And audio circulation in libraries has risen by 65% in the past five years while circulation of print and e-books has stayed flat. Obviously, audio has overtaken e-books in driving growth. So maybe removing the prejudice against audiobooks gives us a better way to think about what reading really is. The brains of people reading or listening to the same stories actually process meaning in almost the same way. Casual or distracted listening, like playing an audiobook while doing chores, doesn’t appear to engage people fully. But attentive listening can be as beneficial as print reading — even better for those with reading disabilities. Tens of millions of people now listen as they follow the text. Whether we read by eye, by ear or by both, it all counts. What matters is that the words get in, the brain makes meaning and the identity of being a reader takes hold. We need more readers, however they get there. 8. What changed the author’s attitude towards listening to books? A. His reading disorder. B. A blind man’s way of reading. C. His love for audiobooks. D. A new phone function. 9. What does the data in paragraph 3 reveal? A. Audiobooks add more pleasure to Americans’ daily reading. B. Audiobooks have changed people’s attitudes toward reading. C. Audiobooks are replacing print and e-books in the market. D. Audiobooks have become a key force in book market growth. 10. What does attentive listening bring according to paragraph 4? A. A guaranteed comprehension boost. B. The best meaning-processing way. C. A likely cure for reading disabilities. D. The same effect as print reading. 11. What does the author indicate about reading in the last paragraph? A. All roads lead to Rome. B. It’s never too late to learn. C. Practice makes perfect. D. Actions speak louder than words. D We all know fresh is best when it comes to food. However, most produce at the store went through weeks of travel and covered hundreds of miles before reaching the table. While farmer’s markets are a solid choice to reduce the journey, Babylon Micro-Farm (BMF) shortens it even more. BMF is an indoor garden system. It can be set up for a family. Additionally, it could serve a larger audience such as a hospital, restaurant or school. The innovative design requires little effort to achieve a reliable weekly supply of fresh greens. Specifically, it’s a farm that relies on new technology. By connecting through the Cloud, BMF is remotely monitored. Also, there is a convenient app that provides growing data in real time. Because the system is automated, it significantly reduces the amount of water needed to grow plants. Rather than watering rows of soil, the system provides just the right amount to each plant. After harvest, users simply replace the plants with a new pre-seeded pod (容器) to get the next growth cycle started. Moreover, having a system in the same building where it’s eaten means zero emissions (排放) from transporting plants from soil to salad. In addition, there’s no need for pesticides and other chemicals that pollute traditional farms and the surrounding environment. BMF employees live out sustainability in their everyday lives. About half of them walk or bike to work. Inside the office, they encourage recycling and waste reduction by limiting garbage cans and avoiding single-use plastic. “We are passionate about reducing waste, carbon and chemicals in our environment,” said a BMF employee. 12. What can be learned about BMF from paragraph 1? A. It guarantees the variety of food. B. It requires day-to-day care. C. It cuts the farm-to-table distance. D. It relies on farmer’s markets. 13. What information does the convenient app offer? A. Real-time weather changes. B. Current condition of the plants. C. Chemical pollutants in the soil. D. Availability of pre-seeded pods. 14. What can be concluded about BMF employees? A. They have a great passion for sports. B. They are devoted to community service. C. They are fond of sharing daily experiences. D. They have a strong environmental awareness. 15. What does the text mainly talk about? A. BMF’s major strengths. B. BMF’s general management. C. BMF’s global influence. D. BMF’s technical standards. 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。 Hosting a get-together at home is one of the most special experiences — it lets you share great moments in a comfortable, familiar atmosphere. ____16____ ; just a bit of imagination will do.
