Forget Cyclists, Pedestrians（行人）Are Real Danger
We are having a debate about this topic. Here are some letters from our readers:
★Yes, many cyclists believe dangerously. Many drivers are disrespectful of cyclists. But pedestrians are probably the worst offenders.
People of all ages happily walk along the pavement with eyes and hands glued to the mobile phone, quite unaware of what is going on around them. They may even do the same thing while crossing a road at a pedestrian crossing or elsewhere. The rest of us have to evade （避让）them or just stand still to wait for the unavoidable collision （碰撞）.
The real problem is that some pedestrians seem to be, at least for the moment, in worlds of their own that are, to them, much more important than the welfare of others.
—Mechael Horan
★ I loved the letter from Bob Brooks about cyclists （ (Viewpoints, May 29）). I am afraid they seem to think they own the roads.
I was walking across Altrincham Road one morning when a cyclist went round me and on being asked what he was doing he shouted at me.
The government built a cycle lane on the road but it is hardly used.
The police do nothing. What a laugh they are!
The cyclists should all have to be made to use the cycle lanes and wear helmets, fluorescent （发荧光的）jackets and lights at night and in the morning. They should pay some sort of tax and be fined for not wearing them.
—Carol Harvey
★Cyclists jump on and off pavements （which are meant for pedestrians）, ride at speed along the pavements, and think they have a special right to go through traffic lights when they are on red.
I was almost knocked down recently by a cyclist riding on the pavement when there was a cycle lane right next to him.
Other road users, including horse rides, manage to obey the rules so why not cyclists?
It's about time they were registered and insured, so when they do hit a pedestrian or a vehicle, or cause an accident, at least they can be treated and there might be an opportunity to claim compensation.
—JML
Write to Viewpoints of the newspaper.
36. Michael Horan wrote the letter mainly to show that ______.
A. drivers should be polite to cyclists
B. road accidents can actually be avoided
C. walking while using phones hurts one's eyes
D. some pedestrians are a threat to road safety
37. Carol Harvey suggests that cyclists should_______ .
A. be asked to ride on their own lanes
B. be made to pay less tax for cycling
C. be fined for laughing at policemen
D. be provided with enough roads
38. What is a complaint of JML?
A. Very few drivers are insured.
B. Cyclists ride fast on pavements.
C. Pedestrians go through red traffic lights.
D. Horse riders disrespect other road users.
39. The three letters present viewpoints on_______ .
A. ways to improve road facilities
B. the real source of road danger
C. measures to punish road offences
D. increased awareness of road rules
【答案】36. D 37. A 38. B 39. B
【解析】
【分析】
本文是一片议论文。 本文围绕一个主题展开一场争论——谁才是马路安全隐患的威胁？不遵守交通规则的骑自行车的人给行人带了了很多的危险。
【36题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段的Many drivers are disrespectful of cyclists. But pedestrians are probably worse offenders.(许多司机不尊重骑自行车的人。但行人可能是更糟糕的违规者。)和第四段The real problem is that some pedestrians seem to be, at least for the moment, in worlds of their own that are, to them, much more important than the welfare of others.(真正的问题是，一些行人似乎，至少目前，沉浸在他们自己的世界，对他们来说，自己比其他人的幸福更重要。)可推断，Michael Horan写信主要为了展示一些行人对道路安全构成威胁。故选D。
【37题详解】
细节理解题。 根据Carol Harvey所说的话The cyclists should all have to be made to use the cycle lanes and wear helmets, fluorescent (发荧光的) jackets and lights at night and in the morning. they should pay some sort of tax and be fined for not wearing them.(骑自行车的人都应该在早上和晚上使用自行车道和戴头盔，佩戴荧光夹克和灯。如果不穿他们应该支付一些税收和罚款)，可知，Carol Harvey建议要求骑自行车的人在他们自己的车道上骑行。故选A。
【38题详解】
细节理解题。根据JML所说的话：Cyclists jump on and off pavements (which are meant for pedestrians), ride at speed along the pavements, and think they have a special right to go through traffic lights when they are on red.(骑自行车的人在人行道上跳上跳下（人行道是为行人准备的），沿着人行道快速行驶，认为他们有特殊的权利在红灯时通过交通灯。)可推知，JML抱怨骑自行车的人在人行道上快速骑车。故选B。
39题详解】
推理判断题。由文章开头“Forget Cyclists, Pedestrians are Real Danger. We are having a debate about this topic. Here are some letters from our readers.(忘记骑自行车的人，行人是真正的危险。我们正在就这个问题进行辩论。下面是读者的来信。）”以及三封信的具体内容可知，这篇文章主要探讨了谁是道路安全的真正隐患，是骑自行车的人，还是行人？故选B。
【点睛】细节理解题是阅读理解中常见的题型。考生在做这类题时一定要仔细审题，弄懂题干，题干当中往往有重要信息，然后回文定位，找到依据。比如此题第2题，根据题干定位 Carol Harvey所说的话The cyclists should all have to be made to use the cycle lanes and wear helmets, fluorescent (发荧光的) jackets and lights at night and in the morning. they should pay some sort of tax and be fined for not wearing them.(骑自行车的人都应该在早上和晚上使用自行车道和戴头盔，佩戴荧光夹克和灯。如果不穿他们应该支付一些税收和罚款)，可知，Carol Harvey建议要求骑自行车的人在他们自己的车道上骑行。故选A。

eXp Realty is one of the world's fastest-growing and most successful real estate （房地产） companies. It has become famous not for investing in actual real estate, but for focusing on
virtual reality offices that allow its agents and brokers （中间商）to interact and socialize from anywhere around the globe.
Glenn Sanford, eXp Realty's founder and CEO, founded the company a decade ago, soon after the real estate market collapse of 2007. He couldn't afford to buy or rent office space. What's more important, he figured that focusing on a system that allowed his team to work remotely would help the company avoid possible real estate crises in the future. So eXp Realty relied on services like Google Docs, project management solutions like Trello, and communications app Slack to help its workforce work together in virtual reality. "The virtual campus is a big part of our growth engine. If we were limited to actual offices, the growth we've had simply wouldn't be possible," Scott Petronis, chief technology officer of eXp Realty said.
Having a virtual campus in the virtual world rather than in the real one apparently has several major advantages. For the most important one, eXp Realty can hire whatever talent they like, no matter where they are. As long as they have Internet connection, they can interact with their colleagues and the company management like avatars （虚拟人）because they can walk around the campus, enter various virtual facilities, and interact with each other. While the main focus is on work and brainstorming, eXp Realty is constantly adding fun stuff as well, like riding on a virtual lake and enjoying a drink at the bar.
At the beginning of 2018, eXp Realty had around 6,500 brokers, but till today that number has increased to over 12,000. They are operating in 300 markets across the US and Canada. If that isn't enough to convince you, the company was recently listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market, with first-day market capitalization of over $1 billion. But it doesn't own or lease any more physical space than what is required by law.
40. What do we know about eXp Realty?
A. It relies much on technology.
B. It was founded by accident.
C. It's famous for its large offices.
D. It's a branch company of Google.
41. What mainly inspired Glenn Sanford to adopt virtual offices?
A. He could work closely with famous online services.
B. He is quite professional in the field of information technology.
C. Virtual offices can enable him to avoid potential real estate crises.
D. The starting base for the virtual real estate market was low at that time.
42. What's the biggest advantage of having a virtual campus?
A. Agents and brokers can communicate timely.
B. It helps attract talents regardless of their location.
C. Companies can cooperate with high-tech avatars.
D. Employees can have a relaxing work environment.
43. We can infer from the last paragraph that eXp .
A. is really a success
B. has some illegal businesses
C. is expanding its business worldwide
D. has poor performance in the stock market
44. What might be the best title of the passage?
A. Why Does Real Estate Industry Grow So Quickly?
B. Billion Dollar Real Estate Company一eXp Realty
C. Virtual Reality Office Vs. Physical Office Space
D. What Can Virtual Reality Do to Our Business?
【答案】40. A 41. C 42. B 43. A 44. B
【解析】

Average age is rising around the world——a demographic （人口统计）change that may pose a significant challenge to efforts to slow down climate change.
Hossein Estiri at Harvard University and Emilio Zagheni of the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research, Germany, have found that energy use increases as we get older, and not just because we tend to get wealthier. An ageing population could mean a greater proportion of society with higher energy use, their study suggests.
They combined two decades, worth of data from thousands of US households and used this to build a model to reveal how energy use varied across 17 age groups between 1987 and 2009. They found that, on average, children's energy consumption （肖耗）climbs as they grow up, before dipping slightly when they leave home. Consumption then rises again when people hit their 30s, before briefly dropping after 55, and then beginning to climb again. The study involved factors such as income, local climate and the age, type and size of a person's home. The increase in energy use at various points in our lifespan （寿命）seems to be the result of life style and how our needs change as we age.
Why does demand grow so much in our 30s? “We need more of everything. More space, a bigger TV two fridges," says Estiri. The study found that, in warmer parts of the US, energy use increases in people over the age of 65—probably as a result of increased use of air conditioning, This suggests that there is a feedback effect between climate change and an ageing population that will only make matters worse.
Heat waves have become more common in the US in recent years and are expected to become more frequent due to global warming. More older people using more electrical energy to keep cool as temperatures rise could add to emissions （排放），and thus drive more warming until our energy supply becomes entirely fossil fuel-free.
“This confluence （汇集）of population, ageing and climate change on energy demand is really important to start thin king about," says Estiri. Benjamin Sovacool at the University of Sussex, UK, says the work shows the importance of demographics when it comes to cutting carbon emissions. Most modelling of climate change mitigation （减缓气候变化的模型） assumes people's energy consumption either stays the same or only changes by a small amount over time.
"This study directly challenges that entire body of research by forcing it to fight with the temporality and complexity of the consumption of energy, says Sovacool.
Catherine Mitchell at the University of Exeter, UK, says the research could have an important influence on policy makers. "What the paper says is that there is a lot of work about how buildings use energy, but probably not enough about how the people in them use energy," she says.
45. By saying “not just because we tend to get wealthier" in Paragraph 2, the writer probably means that .
A. poor people can't bring down the high demand for energy
B. a comfortable life is not the main cause of in creased energy use
C. there are some other reasons leading to the increase in energy consumption
D. people being wealthy or not has nothing to do with the rise of energy consumption
46. What does the author intend to tell us in Paragraph 3?
A. Children consumes more energy when they leave home.
B. Energy consumption drops briefly before people hit 55.
C. The researchers built a model to study the data from US households.
D. Energy consumption varies with the change of lifestyle and demand at different ages.
47. Which of the following statements is Hossein Estiri most likely to support?
A. Energy will stop increasing when people get older.
B. His research could inspire policymakers to change current polices.
C. Various factors influencing energy consumption should be considered.
D. Old people should use fossil fuel-free rather than electrical energy to keep cool.
48. What is the shortcoming of most modeling of climate change mitigation?
A. It is expensive and difficult to promote.
B. It overestimates the household energy consumption.
C. It did not take climate change adaptation into account.
D. It regards energy consumption as stable or as only slightly changing.
49. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. More emphasis should be put on people's energy use.
B. The government can't do much without the support of the study.
C. It is the buildings, not the people in side, that consume the majority of the energy.
D. Policymakers have been working on how to cut down people's energy use.
50. Which column may the article be taken from on the Internet?
A. Health. B. Environment.
C. Human. D. Technology.

本文是一篇说明文。文章主要阐述了人类消耗的能源对大自然的影响，人口老龄化对全球气候变化产生很大影响。
【45题详解】
推理判断题。根据下文An ageing population could mean a greater proportion of society with higher energy use, their study suggests.(他们的研究表明，人口老龄化可能意味着更大比例的社会有更高的能源使用)可推断energy use increases as we get older, and not just because we tend to get wealthier.的句意是：随着年龄的增长，能源的使用也会增加，而不仅仅是因为我们倾向于变得更富有。也就是说还有一些其他原因导致能源消耗增加。故选C。
【46题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段最后一句 The increase in energy use at various points in our lifespan （寿命）seems to be the result of life style and how our needs change as we age.( 在我们的寿命的各个点上，能源使用的增加似乎是生活方式的结果，也是我们的需求随着年龄的增长而变化的结果。)并结合上文内容可推断，作者在这一段打算告诉我们能源消费随着不同年龄的生活方式和需求的变化而变化。故选D。
【47题详解】
推理判断题。根据第六段的“This confluence （汇集）of population, ageing and climate change on energy demand is really important to start thin king about," says Estiri.(埃斯蒂里说：“人口、老龄化和气候变化对能源需求的这种融合，对于建立一个降低能源消耗的国家是非常重要的。)可推断，Estiri最可能支持影响能源消耗的各种因素都需要考虑。故选C。
【48题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第三段的Most modelling of climate change mitigation （减缓气候变化的模型） assumes people's energy consumption either stays the same or only changes by a small amount over time.(大多数减缓气候变化的模型都假设人们的能源消耗要么保持不变，要么随时间发生少量变化。)可知，大多数气候变化缓解模型的缺点是认为能源消耗是稳定的或只是轻微的变化。故选D。
【49题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段的What the paper says is that there is a lot of work about how buildings use energy, but probably not enough about how the people in them use energy(论文上说，关于建筑物如何使用能源，有很多工作要做，但关于建筑物中的人如何使用能源，可能还不够)可推断， 应该更加强调人们的能源使用。故选A。
【50题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文特别是第一段Average age is rising around the world——a demographic （人口统计）change that may pose a significant challenge to efforts to slow down climate change.可知，文章主要讲述人们对于能源使用的问题，随着人口老龄化，人们使用更多的能源，对环境产生更多的影响，因此推断文章与环境有关，应来自网络上的环境版块。故选B。

Many parents worry that showing negative emotions in front of their children will cause them to suffer. For example, children may end up thinking it's their fault or simply "catch" the emotion. Indeed, this worry has a sound basis — the phenomenon of “emotional contagion"（情绪感染）is real, and one recent study found that parents can transfer their fear of going to the dentist, for example, to their children.
On the other hand, there is the natural idea that we should “be real" with our children, and that they will benefit from watching a parent who struggles and eventually deals with their negative emotions like any other human being.
There are three concepts to consider when it comes to emotional display in front of children: suppression （压抑），"uncontained" expression, and talking about emotions. Suppression of emotion is when you hide the outward signs of an emotion. Unfortunately, it doesn't work very well — the act of suppressing your emotion actually increases your blood pressure. Observers can pick up on your distress despite your efforts to hide it, making them feel stressed. The recent research has also found that when parents feel negative emotions and keep them from their children, they experience lower relationship quality and decreased responsiveness to their child's needs.
On the other hand, “uncontained" expression of anger and sadness by the parent is also not salutary for the child. Uncontained means high intensity emotion, with no attempts to regulate or take ownership of it. Shouting, smashing （摔）things and blaming someone else for "making you angry" are all example of this .
So, what is the middle ground? That would be talking about emotion taking ownership of them and showing your child that you are trying to deal with them. Classic research found that six-year-old kids had better emotional understanding and perspective-taking skills if their mothers had talked to them about their emotions at the age of three. In fact, the more the mothers had talked, the better the outcome would be.
So next time you feel sad, angry or frustrated and your child is watching you expressing emotion, do explain what's going on in terms they can understand.
51. The author uses the example of going to the dentist mainly to _______.
A. explain parents' common fear
B. introduce the topic of negative emotions
C. show children may catch parents' emotions
D. present the consequences of transferring negative emotions
52. If a mother suppresses （(压抑)）her emotions, .
A. she will not make her kids feel stressed
B. she can hide her emotions from her kids
C. she will often shout at her kids for no reasons
D. she can't respond effectively to her kids' needs
53 What does the underlined word "salutary" in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Enough. B. Beneficial.
C. Necessary. D. Reliable.
54. What is the author's intention of writing this text?
A. To encourage parents to "be real" with our children.
B. To call on parents to develop a positive attitude to life.
C. To inform parents of the consequences of negative emotions.
D. To recommend parents to talk about negative emotions with children.
55. What's the structure of the text?
A. B.
C. D.

本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了许多父母担心在孩子面前表现出负面情绪会让孩子痛苦。研究表明这种担忧——“情绪传染”现象是真实存在的。但是父母应该真实地对待孩子，孩子可以处理这种负面情绪。
【51题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段的Indeed, this worry has a sound basis — the phenomenon of “emotional contagion"（情绪感染）is real, and one recent study found that parents can transfer their fear of going to the dentist, for example, to their children.( 事实上，这种担心有坚实的基础——“情绪传染”现象是真实的，最近的一项研究发现，例如，父母可以把他们去看牙医的恐惧转移给孩子。)可推断，作者使用看牙医的例子是为了说明孩子可以感染父母的情绪。故选C。
【52题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段的Suppression of emotion is when you hide the outward signs of an emotion. Unfortunately, it doesn't work very well — the act of suppressing your emotion actually increases your blood pressure. (抑制情绪是你隐藏情绪的外在迹象的时候，不幸的是，它不能很好地起作用——抑制你的情绪实际上会增加你的血压。)可推断，如果一个母亲压抑她的情绪，她就不能有效地对孩子的需求做出反应。故选D。
【53题详解】
词句猜测题。根据下文Uncontained means high intensity emotion, with no attempts to regulate or take ownership of it. Shouting, smashing （摔）things and blaming someone else for "making you angry" are all example of this .( 不包含意味着强烈的情绪，没有试图调整或拥有它。 喊，砸东西和指责别人“让你生气”都是这方面的例子。)可推断，划线句表示：父母“不受约束”地表达愤怒和悲伤对孩子无益的。故划线词词义是：受益的。故选B。
54题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段So next time you feel sad, angry or frustrated and your child is watching you expressing emotion, do explain what's going on in terms they can understand.
(因此，下次当你感到悲伤、愤怒或沮丧，而你的孩子正在看着你表达情感时，请用他们能理解的术语解释发生了什么。)可推断，作者写这篇文章的目的是推荐家长与孩子谈论负面情绪。故选D。
【55题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文可知，一、二段阐述最近的一项研究发现，父母可以把他们的情绪转移给孩子。三、四、五段阐述父母的情绪对孩子的影响，与孩子谈论情绪，找到中间地带；最后一段提出建议。故选B。
【点睛】在阅读中我们经常会考查猜测词义或句意题。事实上，阅读材料中的每个词与它前后的词语或句子甚至段落都有联系。运用逻辑推理猜测词义或句意是使用最广考查最多也最易失分的猜词方式，这要求考生具备整合分散、复杂信息的能力，充分利用上下文（各种已知信息）并结合具体的语境推测、判断某些词或短语的词义。例如第3小题。根据下文Uncontained means high intensity emotion, with no attempts to regulate or take ownership of it. Shouting, smashing （摔）things and blaming someone else for "making you angry" are all example of this .( 不包含意味着强烈的情绪，没有试图调整或拥有它。 喊，砸东西和指责别人“让你生气”都是这方面的例子。)可推断，划线句表示：父母“不受约束”地表达愤怒和悲伤对孩子无益的。故划线词词义是：受益的。故选B。

Kobe Bryant wasn't the first NBA player to visit China. But he was the first player to help China grow into a basketball-crazed nation.
Kobe's first visit was in 1998, and in conducting basketball clinics （篮球训练营），doing business and participating in charity, he was warmly welcomed in the basketball-loving country. Once, nearly 15,000 people showed up at 9 am for an event at which Kobe was scheduled to appear at 4 pm.
USA Basketball chairman Jerry Colangelo saw firsthand Kobe's popularity during Kobe's time with Team USA at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, when as captain he led the team to a gold medal.
