That means, the work-from-home lifestyle may be coming to a close. Why not spice it up a bit for this last stretch of flexible living and book a killer vacation rental? Here are 4 rentals perfect for you.San Antonio, TexasHead deep into the heart of Texas for an enjoyable work-from-home experience at this 3-bedroom Lavaca cottage. And you’ll find a fully private backyard that is perfect for the little ones. The house on its own is excellent, but what is close to downtown San Antonia is like a cherry on top.Carmel-by-the-Sea, CaliforniaSet out for beautiful California and book this beach retreat.

The beloved treat shop is sure to get your kids on their best behavior!Scottsdale, ArizonaWith over 300 days of sunshine and boundless outdoor activities, Arizona is an outdoor heaven for all ages.

Which of the following best suits people who are art lovers?A. San Antonio. B. Carmel-by-the-Sea. C. Scottsdale. D. The Catskills.2. What do we know about Scottsdale?A.

They have a private backyard. B. They are close to the beach.C. They provide a barbecue. D.

Street art is often displayed on walls or buildings and can be all sorts of things including murals (large paintings on a wall), stickers and posters. Graffiti(涂鸦) is similar but it uses words or pictures or both.It’s important to understand that if you want to do street art in public, such as on a wall or in a park, you must have permission from whoever owns that space. You can’t just spray paint on any wall, and you must not create anything that is rude or that could upset other people.To get involved, it’s always best to join a street art group or street art workshop. The artist helping will provide the right paints and protective equipment (masks, gloves, sheets to cover the ground), and will show you how to plan your art, how to paint on a large surface and how to make your ideas come to life.Sophie Wheeler runs Graft, in Bristol, England. Graft holds graffiti and street art workshops. “Graffiti art is fantastic for kids,” she says. “There are no rules—you can create whatever patterns, words or characters pop into your imagination.”If you can’t find an art group, then maybe your school art teacher can help. They could invite a street artist to visit and do a workshop. If you have a dull, blank space at school, such as a wall by a playground or a corridor, then why not suggest a mural? Besides colourful patterns, the artist often wants to create something to make people think about an issue such as climate change or perhaps to celebrate the life of a local hero.The beauty of street art is that it doesn’t have to stay forever; it can be easily painted over, making a blank space again for new art.4. What can we learn about graffiti from Paragraph 1?A. It is the same as murals. B. It includes stickers and posters.C. It only uses pictures. D. It shares something with other street art forms.5. What does the author advise before doing street art?A. Establishing street art workshops.B. Selecting public places as you like.C. Making protective equipment by yourself.D. Considering the appropriateness of your works.6. What do Sophie Wheeler’s words mean about graffiti?A. It is in desperate need of rules. B. It is limited to certain patterns.C. It encourages creativity. D. It appeals to children only.7. What can we infer from the last two paragraphs?A. Street art often carries a message.B. Heroes affect the life of the public greatly.C. Street art attracts people because it lasts long.D. Climate change is the hottest topic among street artists.CI started playing the piano when I was around four years old—that was 15 years ago!—and since then the longest I haven’t touched piano keys was probably two months. This was an enormous amount of devotion to something that I wasn’t even planning to make money off of it—so there must have been something worth holding on to, right?The easy guess is that I was always so purely in love with music and piano that I couldn’t bear to let them go. However, it’s a bit more complicated than that. I struggled a lot with piano. I felt pressure to improve, innovate, and be the best in order to prove something to others. The seed of my musical interest was grown with competition and doubt.It’s difficult to learn to love something that you didn’t choose in the first place. But somehow, sometime, love grew. And by high school, it was strong enough that I found the strength to hold on tighter, dig further, and find something of my own to grow. In a way, I had to start over.And so, I took a pause. I switched teachers, and got incredibly lucky with one who encouraged me and helped me tunnel into what I loved, not what I was told I should learn. Anything I had was good enough to be loved.This summer I started learning the guitar. I deliberately wanted to learn on my own—this was just for me, to form a new relationship to music. Even though my guitar skills are miles lower than my piano skills, I feel I can express myself even more wholly through strings than keys. There’s just something about doing it all for myself that has helped me heal the damages to my relationship to music.The love and hate I’ve had for the piano were both planted and grown. If you too have learned to hate something you once loved—or something you never chose—remember that with dedication, it can be uprooted, and love can make a home in its place. There is always time. There is always room.8. What can we learn about the author’s experience from Paragraph 1?A. He probably spent two months in playing the piano.B. He began to play the piano when he was 15 years old.C. He thought it necessary to start playing the piano early.D. He committed himself to the piano not for financial factors.9. Which of the following words best describes the author’s relationship with the piano?A. Bittersweet. B. Harmonious. C. Painful. D. Passive.10. What inspired the author to learn the guitar?A. His teacher’s constant encouragement. B. His desire for a new relationship with music.C. His interest in strings rather than keys. D. His talent for playing musical instruments.11. What is the best title for the text?A. Practice makes perfect B. Love cannot be forcedC Love is a thing that grows D. There is no end to learningDThe next time someone asks you to stop sharing your fun facts about rare coins, or teases you about your love for Norse mythology(北欧神话), tell them you’re working on your brain health.According to a new study that examined memory in expert birdwatchers, having expert knowledge in a subject helps us memorize new information.This is because, while forgetting often happens when similar memories interfere(干扰) with each other, expert knowledge provides a mental organizational structure that helps us keep new items that we want to learn distinct from each other.“Unlike memory functions that tend to decrease with age, expert knowledge often continues to accumulate as we get older. This makes it an area of strength in older adults that we may be able to control and use to mitigate age-related memory decline and improve quality of life for this group,” says Dr. Erik Wing, a postdoctoral fellow at Baycrest’s Rotman Research Institute.To study the effects of expert knowledge on memory, Dr. Wing and his team took in local bird experts from community organizations such as the Toronto Ornithological Club and Toronto Field Naturalists.To identify how knowledge changes mental organization, participants were shown sets of bird images and asked to arrange them visually on the screen according to perceived similarity.Most experts tended to group birds based on specific features, such as the structure of the beak(喙) or the shape of the tail, even for bird species that they had never seen before. In contrast, some of the experts based their grouping on more superficial(粗浅的) features like color.Next, the researchers tested participants’ memory. The researchers found that those who grouped birds based on specific features performed better in the memory task than those who grouped birds based on color.While we can’t all be birdwatching experts, we are all experts in something—whether it’s sports, the Lord of the Rings trilogy or our own family and social network. In other words, we may all be able to benefit from the memory boost that expert knowledge can provide, regardless of our age.12. Why does having expert knowledge enable us to memorize new information better?A. It reminds people to share hobbies.B. It records the influence of fun facts.C. It helps reduce confusion between new items.D. It prevents the change of a mental structure.13. What does the underlined word “mitigate” mean in Paragraph 4?A. Confirm. B. Delay. C. Preserve. D. Follow.14. What did Dr. Wing and his team do in their research?A. They conducted interviews with local bird experts.B. They carefully grouped birds based on different features.C. They made an experiment in the Toronto Ornithological Club.D. They compared participants’ performances in the memory task.15. What’s the author’s attitude towards the possibility of getting memory boost?A. Positive. B. Doubtful. C. Unclear. D. Cautious.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。Insects have an important role as part of the living planet, and they make up four-fifths of all animal species. But what difference do they make to our lives?Insects as a problem____16____We plant crops which some insect species love, and they thrive on them. That’s when we start to call them pests.Humans have caused some insect species to be moved from one part of the world to another—deliberately or by accident.

As he rounded a bend, the tips of the cattails that grew around Johnson’s Pond came into view. His dad took him canoeing there sometimes, and Alex loved it. The pond was always so alive with activity. Frogs croaked along the shore, dragonflies hunted among the cattails, and sometimes Alex discovered turtles(乌龟) basking(晒太阳) on sunny rocks.Alex was curious about the turtles he saw. One week, when it was too rainy to go canoeing, he and his dad went to the library to check out books on turtles. Alex learned that turtles don’t have warm blood like people do. That’s why they have to sit in the sun to warm themselves. Now it looked like tomorrow might be another sunny day. He decided he would ask Dad if they could go canoeing and look for turtles again.Just then Alex saw something in the road up ahead. It looked like a big gray rock. But it was a funny place for a rock to be.And then, as Alex watched, the rock started to move.When he rode his bike up to get a closer look, he saw that it wasn’t a rock at all. It was a large turtle crawled its way across the road. It had a bony, beak-shaped mouth and a long, jagged tail. Alex knew right away it was a snapping turtle.He also knew not to get too close. He had read that a snapping turtle has a powerful bite even though it doesn’t have teeth. It could even bite off someone’s finger. He stood at a distance and watched the turtle move slowly over the road.Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a car approaching. The turtle was still only halfway across the road. Alex knew he couldn’t pick it up to move it safely to the grass. What could he do?注意：1.续写词数应为150词左右;2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。Thinking fast, he started jumping up and down and waving both hands wildly.___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________To make the warning sign, Alex hurried back home and started his work with some leftover wood and paint.___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________听力答案：1-5 CAACB        6-10 CACAA        11-15 CBBCC        16-20 ACBBA
