第二部分  阅读(共两节，满分50分)

  第一节  (共15 小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

A

Sunlight means warm weather and spending time outdoors. But when the

temperature rises quickly, it's time for us to get out of the sun and cool down.

It's the same for cities.

Dubai

In Dubai, rows of high-tech pavilions(亭) in the shape of date palms, a kind of local trees, have been“planted”in parks, waterfronts, streets and other public

places to keep its citizens cool when they have nowhere else to go in the

summer heat. These pavilions are equipped with the air-conditioning cooling

system through which citizens can enjoy the fine water spray(喷洒). In particular, the pavilions’energy is from solar energy.

Doha

To reduce the temperature of the road surface, the engineers in Doha took a bold decision—to paint the road surface in blue color with the help of a heat reflective paint. The paint contains a cooling material that reflects 50 percent of UV(紫外线的) rays. The temperature of the road surface can be reduced by about 7 ℃ with the use of the paint.Besides this, the blue color of the road is expected to bring a cooling effect on the eyes.

Abu Dhabi

Abu Dhabi is located in the desert where temperatures regularly rise to 49 ℃.To help beat the heat, some buildings here are turning to umbrellas for staying

cool. The designers wrapped the buildings’ outer walls in a shell of umbrella-shaped elements. The facility moves,turns on or off with the path of the sun, minimizing the heat brought by the sun.

Kuwait City    100

The National Bank of Kuwait combines structural innovation to beat the local 45℃summer heat. The idea of the shape of the building is from the mussel(蚌) which opens up to the north in the shape of a butterfly. The central and southern part together form the structural system of the tower, making the best use of upper floor space and protecting the building from direct sunlight.

21. How does Dubai fight summer heat?

A. By sticking mussel shells to the buildings.

B. By planting a large number of date palms.

C. By painting the roads with reflective paint.

D. By building pavilions with cooling system.

22. Why is the blue color chosen to paint the road in Doha?

A. It is believed to be visually cooling for people.

B. It reflects heat better when mixed with the paint.

C. It is proved to have the strongest UV-reflecting effect.

D. It is an accidental choice instead of an intentional one.

23.What do we know about the umbrellas fixed on the buildingin AbuDhabi?

A. They are inspired by nature.

B. They are adjustable with time of a day.

C. They are equipped with water spray.

D. They are made of reflective material.

B

Brian Linden worked as a part-time carpet cleaner while attending night school in Chicago. One day, he went to the home of a professor who had just returned from China to do the job. The professor asked him to help place a marker on the world map at the location of China. Linden looked at the map and hesitated,“I'm just not sure where it is.”That day, the professor also treated Linden to Chinese green tea, and told stories about China, which aroused the enthusiasm in his heart.

Later he got a chance to study in China and first came to Beijing in 1984. He was immediately immersed(沉浸的) in the life locally. He starred in a Chinesefilm, gave English lessons, became a reporter for an American media outlet in

China and then came to Nanjing to systematically study courses about China. He was lucky enough to meet his wife there, a Chinese-American girl who was also

studying in Nanjing. “After coming to China, my life was totally changed,” he

said.

After a year in Nanjing, Linden left China to pursue a PhD at Stanford

University.During the time, he continued to be interested in Chinese culture.“I

wanted to use the beauty of China's cultural heritage to promote openness and

understanding of China among Americans. But I realized I hadn't really achieved

this initial goal and I wanted to go back to China for a fresh start.”

In 2004, Linden made a crazy decision: Selling all the properties in the US. He embarked on a new journey to China with his family, visiting Fujian Tulou, Guangdong Watchtowers,and old Tibetan houses in Kangding... Until 2006, they discovered Dali Xizhou, YunnanProvince. 

By now, Linden has settled in Xizhou for 18 years. His guesthouse offers

free English classes on a weekly basis for residents. Professional experts from different fields who have stayed in Xilinyuan are often invited to share economic andcultural

experience with the locals.

24. What can we learn about Linden from the first paragraph?

A. He had been familiar with China before.

Color psychology(色彩心理学) is a fascinating field seeking to understand the psychological and physiological responses that different colors bring to mind in

individuals. It can be traced back to ancient civilizations, where colors were

associated with specific meanings and symbolism. For example, in ancient Egypt,

the color blue was associated with the sky and represented fertility and rebirth.

Throughout history, artists and philosophers have explored the relationship between colors and emotions, leading to the development of modern color psychology.

Certain colors can evoke(唤起) specific emotional and cognitive responses.

Warm colors like red and orange are generally associated with energy and

stimulation, while cool colors like blue and green are associated with calmness

and relaxation.

Based on the associations, companies often use color psychology to stir up

desired emotional responses in consumers. Fast-food chains often incorporate red

and yellow in their branding to increase physical desire for food and convey a

sense of urgency. Color choices in interior design and architecture can greatly

impact the atmosphere and mood of a space.Certain colors may promote

productivity in work environments, while others may create a sense of tranquility

in residential settings. Color is also used in therapeutic(治疗的) settings to create a desired emotional effect. For instance, blue is often used in healthcare settings

to promote a sense of calmness and trust.

Experts have made some important discoveries and observations about color

psychology and its impact on mood, emotion and behavior, and understanding the principles of color psychology can empower individuals and professionals to make

informed decisions regarding color choices in various contexts. However, what

may startle us is that little theoretical research has been conducted to date on the effects of color on psychological functioning, and the work that has been done

has been largely motivated by practical considerations rather than scientific basis. Much research is needed to understand its complex nature fully.

28. What is color psychology about?

A. Why colors are divided into warm and cool tones.

B. How colors influence human behavior and emotion.

C. What colors have specific meanings and symbolism.

D. How people in ancient times were affected by colors.

29. What is paragraph 3 centered on about color psychology?

A. Its application.  B. Its development.   C. Its origin.     D. Its definition.

30. What does the underlined word“startle”in the last paragraph mean?

A. Inspire.        B. Panic.        C. Shock.               D. Threaten.

31. Which can be the best title of the text?

A. Does your favourite color influence your mood?

B. Does it make sense to read people through color?

C. Color psychology—a must-see guide before decorating

D. Color psychology—a practical but never simple subject

D

Today, you can buy a pair of sneakers(运动鞋) partially made from carbon

dioxide pulled out of the atmosphere. But measuring the carbon-reduction

benefits of making that pair of sneakers with carbon dioxide is complex. There's

the carbon dioxide that stayed in the ground, a definite carbon reduction. But

what about the energy cost of cooling the carbon dioxide into liquid form and

transporting it to a production facility? And what about when your kid outgrows

the shoes in six months and they can't be recycled into a new product because those systems aren't in place yet?

Researchers are trying to help companies figure out how to account for each step in a product's life.

As companies try to reduce their carbon footprint, many are doing life cycle assessments to measure the full carbon cost of products, from the obtaining of

materials to energy use in manufacturing, from product transport to users’

behavior and end-of-life disposal(处理). It's an impressively complex measurement,but such bean-counting is needed to hold the planet to a livable temperature, says

low-carbon systems expert Andrea Ramirez Ramirez of the Delft University of

Technology in the Netherlands.

Carbon use can be reduced at many points along the production chain—by using renewable energy in the manufacturing process, for instance, or by adding

atmospheric carbon dioxide to the product. But if other points along the chain like transporting consume more energy or give off more carbon dioxide, Andrea notes, the final record may show a decrease rather than a reduction. A product is carbon-reduction only when its production actually removes carbon from the environment,temporarily or permanently.

In the rush to create products that can fight climate change, however, some

companies have been charged with “greenwashing”—making products appear more environmentally friendly than they really are. Examples include labeling(用标签表明) plastic garbage bags as recyclable when their whole purpose is to be thrown away; using labels such as“eco-friendly”or“100% Natural” without official

certification; and claiming a better carbon footprint without acknowledging the

existence of even better choices.

32. How does the author lead in the topic of the text?

    A. By listing specific figures.           B. By putting up questions.

    C. By referring to documents.           D. By offering some solutions.

33. What does Andrea think of measuring the carbon cost of products?

    A. Difficult but meaningful.          B. Expensive but promising.

    C. Energy-saving and affordable.      D. Time-consuming and valueless.

34. What can be defined as reducing carbon use in the production chain?

A. Using renewable energy in production.

B. Changing carbon dioxide into material.

C. Reducing carbon footprint in products' life.

D. Cutting down carbon dioxide in transporting.

35. What can we know from the last paragraph?

A. Companies are sparing no efforts to reduce carbon use.

B. Plastic garbage bags must be labeled as“eco-friendly”.

C. Most products are less environmentally friendly than before.

D. There is a long way to cut some companies’“greenwashing”.

Want to add to longevity(寿命)?   36 

Exercise.   37   It will boost your mood, your energy, and your health. If

you're an adult, aim for about 150 minutes of working out a week.  It's better to exercise more frequently than to get all your exercise in one day, so do

something daily if you can. You don't have to join a gym to exercise. You can

take brisk walks, go on runs, swim, or join a dance group.

Develop active habits. If you have trouble getting to the gym on a regular basis, build more activities into your daily routine. Take up gardening as another active hobby. Get a dog so that you remember to go on walks. Cut your driving distance and walk part of the way to work.   38 

Manage stress. When stress takes over your lives, you will be frustrated.   39   So taking time off from stressors is essential to your health. Engage in the

hobbies that relax you. Get out of the house and walk in nature, and learn some

relaxation techniques that you can do in tough moments.

第二节  (满分 25分)

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

My husband and I had purchased the piano so our son and daughter could

take piano lessons. But I had a secret dream that I did not share with anyone: I wanted to learn to play the piano and so that I could sit on a piano bench and perform one day.

Days later, I passed our announcement board, which listed items for sale, various jobs,and at the bottom, someone was offering piano lessons.

My voice trembled when I called the number the next day. When the

tutor named Melody learned that I was the student, she hesitated. She had never taught a busy adult learner, but she was willing to try if I was determined to learn.

When my first lesson ended as arranged, Melody opened the door to her next student,a six-year-old boy full of enthusiasm. Melody introduced us and told me his name was Jeff. “I'm going to learn to play the piano,”he told me. No doubts or insecurities got in the boy's way.His enthusiasm struck me, and on my way home, I whispered,“I'm going to learn to play the piano.”

However, I wasn't a star pupil. I didn't have instant recall on how to read

music. Getting both hands to cooperate was difficult and then I was introduced to the pedal(踏板). Maybe I had been just too psychologically stressed out. Consequently, Melody blamed me for not practicing enough. Therefore, I had to look at my tight schedule to see where I could make time to improve myself.

The following week, Melody told me I would need to participate in the December performance and that I had to play by memory. I would have one month to memorize two pieces and I hadn't even seen them yet! I was in despair and wanted to give up. “It's the conventional way,” Melody said to me in a firm voice, “and even Jeff is memorizing the pieces he is playing.Think why you came here!”

1.续写词数应为150左右；

Her words suddenly had reminded me of my secret dream.
