A
During my childhd, whenever the sun drpped and the blue sky came up, my father and I wuld climb the muntain near ur huse. Walking tgether, we had a lt f cnversatins thrugh 21 I learned many valuable lessns. He always stressed t me, "Yu shuld have bjectives and capacity like the muntain." This has 22 (large) influenced my life. 23 the muntain-climbing, we culdn't have had enugh time t spend tgether because my father was busy.
B
Yu have prbably dreamed abut 24 yu wuld change the wrld, nly t find that it seems impssible. Hwever, yu may have the pwer 25 (make) the wrld better with baby steps. That's the idea behind the BA Challenge, which is a public service campaign c-initiated by Alibaba and SinaWeib. It asks peple t d smething psitive and then recrd the changes befre and after. Since its first
26 (appear) n Sina Weib n Sept.24, the BA Challenge has attracted millins f viewers and participants. 27 these little things may be easily ignred in ur daily lives, they are well received by many viewers.

There's nthing better than flying t a freign destinatin t visit the attractins it 28 (have) t ffer. Millins f peple are ding the same, and why nt? The wrld has an amazing variety f must-see sights, frm breathtaking natural scenery t impressive ld cities. But the prblem is that t many f us

第一节 (共15小题：每小题分，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
When we take a selfie with ur friends, the taller friend ften needs t squat (蹲下) dwn t be captured (捕捉) by the camera; but a shrt friend will have t struggle t stay in frame (画面). Despite this ccasinal prblem, humans pretty much fall within a nrmal height range and everyne usually manages t get in the selfie.
Chinese men are, accrding t Wrld Data, n average 1.71 meters tall, while wmen are typically 1.59 meters. What stps us frm exceeding (超过) these heights?
Accrding t a study frm Harvard University, the human height range is a result f evlutin. “Height is nt just abut height,” Terence D. Capellini, a human evlutinary bilgist at Harvard University, tld Ppular Science. “It’s abut the verall bilgical grwth f an rganism (有机体), at least in humans.” Over millins f years, natural selectin has influenced the way ur rgans grw and therefre the way ur bdies grw t.
In general, the genes that are respnsible fr rgan grwth are quite active in infants (婴儿), causing them t grw rapidly. But as children get lder, the genes slw dwn. Eventually, as they enter late adlescence (青春期), the genes turn ff and teenagers reach their adult height.
Accrding t the study, these grwth genes accunt fr 70 t 80 percent f ur height. The ther factrs that determine height are sme envirnmental factrs like prper nutritin and mdern healthcare. An example f an envirnmental factr is when a child desn’t get the nutritin he r she needs: The child is less likely t reach the average height.
Many peple wuld like t be taller than they are, but is that necessarily gd fr them?
Maybe nt, Ppular Science reprted. As the grwth genes mutate (变异) and stay active even in late adlescence, sme peple wh grw quickly can have health prblems.
Fr example, being very tall can put excessive (过多的) pressure n the heart. It can mean that the heart desn’t prperly circulate (循环) bld arund the bdy in sme tall peple, which can cause heart failure. Bne disease is anther side effect f being very tall. Take Rbert Wadlw frm the US as an example. At 2.71 meters, he is ne f the tallest persns in histry. He suffered frm such serius bne diseases that he needed leg braces (支架) t help him walk. He died at the age f 22 frm an infectin caused by his leg braces.
Fr this reasn, researchers suggest that gd nutritin and healthcare are the best way t grw t a tall but healthy height, nt gene interventins (干预).
What makes mst peple stay within certain standard height limits, accrding t the study frm Harvard University?
A. Fd shrtages.B. Natural selectin.
C. Unhealthy lifestyles.D. Climate change.
What can we infer frm Capellini’s wrds?
A. The envirnment can greatly change human genes.
B. Envirnmental factrs have mre effect n height than genes.
C. Our height is clsely related t rgan grwth.
D. Our rgans grw mre slwly than ur height.
Accrding t Ppular Science, very tall peple are mre likely t have ______.
A. heart diseaseB. sleep prblemsC. bld diseasesD. nutritin prblems
B
We all knw the value f taking a walk in the fresh spring weather. It allws yur mind t relax and frget abut the prblems in everyday life. Studies have cmmnly shwn the benefits f being arund green spaces, including gardens, urban parks and frests.
But did yu knw that being in cntact with these natural surrundings during childhd culd psitively impact (影响) yur mental health as an adult?
A study by the Barcelna Institute fr Glbal Health (ISGlbal) surveyed 3,600 peple frm all ver Eurpe, including Spain, the Netherlands, Lithuania and the UK.
The all-adult study gave participants a questinnaire (问卷) n hw frequently they used natural spaces during childhd – fr example, playing in a garden, riding a bike at the park r hiking in a frest. They were als asked abut the imprtance they put n using such places.
Vlunteers were then given a psychlgical (心理的) test, which included a variety f questinnaires and prblem-slving activities, t analyze their nervusness and feelings f depressin (抑郁) within a fur-week perid.
The results cnsistently shwed that the peple wh were mre expsed (暴露的) t natural spaces had higher mental health scres cmpared t thse with lwer childhd expsure – as did thse wh attached higher imprtance t using green spaces.
The study’s crdinatr (协调员), Wilma Zijlema, wrte that the results “shw the imprtance f childhd expsure t natural spaces fr the develpment f a nature-appreciating attitude and a healthy psychlgical state in adulthd”. She als stressed the imprtance f “recgnizing the implicatins (含义) f grwing up in envirnments with limited pprtunities fr expsure t nature”.
Accrding t the study, 73 percent f Eurpe’s ppulatin nly has limited access (接触机会) t natural spaces. Mark Nieuwenhuijsen, directr f ISGlbal’s Urban Planning, said that “Many children in Eurpe lead an indr lifestyle … s we call n plicymakers t imprve the availability (可得性) f natural spaces fr children.”
While this study was based in Eurpe, a lack f green space can affect anyne, anywhere. S remember t make time t immerse yurself in nature, as yur mental health is just as imprtant as the physical ne.
What was the purpse f the ISGlbal’s walking study?
A. T examine the advantages f taking a walk.
B. T understand the mental health prblems f children.
C. T see hw childhd experiences shape adult life.
D. T study the influence f childhd expsure t natural spaces.

A. The participants included bth children and adults.
B. The participants were frm all ver the wrld.

What d Paragraphs 7-8 mainly talk abut?
A. The results f the study.
B. The value f the study.
C. The methd f the study.
D. The prcess f the study.
What des the underlined wrd “immerse” in the last paragraph prbably mean?

My husband came acrss the prgram frm my father-in-law’s high schl graduatin, 90 years ag. It was the Class f 1928 and their class mtt (格言) was “Build fr character, nt fr fame.”
I’m pretty sure sciety has dne a full reverse n that ne.
These days, we have peple wh are famus fr simply being famus. They haven’t dne anything particularly impressive, but they d take great selfies.
We are all bsessed with fame these days, mainly thanks t scial media. All we want is fr peple t fllw us, friend us, like us, r share ur psts. We are nearly desperate fr fame.
“Build fr character, nt fr fame,” is based n the assumptin that ne is lking up and ahead. That’s an encuraging idea, especially tday, when mst f us have ur heads dwn, lking at the screens f ur smartphnes. Lking ahead and building fr character takes thught and intentinality (意向性).
One can be intentinal in building fr fame as well, but fame ften relies heavily n the right timing and cnnectins, as well as the creatin f a base f fans and supprters.
Character isn’t subject t the ideas f thers. Character is built with self-discipline (自律), and a willingness t learn frm difficulties. Character grws internally (内在地) and needs n applause.
Fame depends n peple lking at yu, while character is wh yu are when n ne is lking.
Fame ften cmes with jealusy (嫉妒); a feeling that time is running ut r that smene better than yu is cming t steal yur fans.
Character is marked by feeling cntent and being generus. There is satisfactin that cmes with the reward f achievements, but at the same time, gd character willingly hlds the dr pen fr thers wh are als hping t achieve.
This cmmencement (毕业典礼) seasn, speakers will tell new graduates t get ut there and build a better wrld.
The best way t build a better wrld is t build character, the kind that runs deep and can carry yu thrugh life’s strms.
Build character with curage, justice (公正) and strength. Build character by respecting yurself and respecting thers. Build character with kindness, hpe and lve. Build fr character and yu will build a better wrld.
42. The underlined phrase “has dne a full reverse n” in Paragraph 2 prbably means ______.
A. has taken full advantage f
B. has dne the cmplete ppsite t
C. has made a gd practice f
D. has paid a lt f attentin t
43. Peple’s desire fr fame has a lt t d with ______.
A. the rise f scial media
B. the impact f well-knwn stars
C. their intentin t make a difference

Accrding t the study, these grwth genes accunt fr 70 t 80 percent f ur height. The ther factrs that determine height are sme envirnmental factrs like prper nutritin and mdern healthcare. An example f an envirnmental factr is when a child desn’t get the nutritin he r she needs: The child is less likely t reach the average height.
Many peple wuld like t be taller than they are, but is that necessarily gd fr them?
Maybe nt, Ppular Science reprted. As the grwth genes mutate (变异) and stay active even in late adlescence, sme peple wh grw quickly can have health prblems.
Fr example, being very tall can put excessive (过多的) pressure n the heart. It can mean that the heart desn’t prperly circulate (循环) bld arund the bdy in sme tall peple, which can cause heart failure. Bne disease is anther side effect f being very tall. Take Rbert Wadlw frm the US as an example. At 2.71 meters, he is ne f the tallest persns in histry. He suffered frm such serius bne diseases that he needed leg braces (支架) t help him walk. He died at the age f 22 frm an infectin caused by his leg braces.
Fr this reasn, researchers suggest that gd nutritin and healthcare are the best way t grw t a tall but healthy height, nt gene interventins (干预).
What makes mst peple stay within certain standard height limits, accrding t the study frm Harvard University?
A. Fd shrtages.B. Natural selectin.
C. Unhealthy lifestyles.D. Climate change.
What can we infer frm Capellini’s wrds?
A. The envirnment can greatly change human genes.
B. Envirnmental factrs have mre effect n height than genes.
C. Our height is clsely related t rgan grwth.
D. Our rgans grw mre slwly than ur height.
Accrding t Ppular Science, very tall peple are mre likely t have ______.
A. heart diseaseB. sleep prblemsC. bld diseasesD. nutritin prblems

We all knw the value f taking a walk in the fresh spring weather. It allws yur mind t relax and frget abut the prblems in everyday life. Studies have cmmnly shwn the benefits f being arund green spaces, including gardens, urban parks and frests.
But did yu knw that being in cntact with these natural surrundings during childhd culd psitively impact (影响) yur mental health as an adult?
A study by the Barcelna Institute fr Glbal Health (ISGlbal) surveyed 3,600 peple frm all ver Eurpe, including Spain, the Netherlands, Lithuania and the UK.
The all-adult study gave participants a questinnaire (问卷) n hw frequently they used natural spaces during childhd – fr example, playing in a garden, riding a bike at the park r hiking in a frest. They were als asked abut the imprtance they put n using such places.
Vlunteers were then given a psychlgical (心理的) test, which included a variety f questinnaires and prblem-slving activities, t analyze their nervusness and feelings f depressin (抑郁) within a fur-week perid.
The results cnsistently shwed that the peple wh were mre expsed (暴露的) t natural spaces had higher mental health scres cmpared t thse with lwer childhd expsure – as did thse wh attached higher imprtance t using green spaces.
The study’s crdinatr (协调员), Wilma Zijlema, wrte that the results “shw the imprtance f childhd expsure t natural spaces fr the develpment f a nature-appreciating attitude and a healthy psychlgical state in adulthd”. She als stressed the imprtance f “recgnizing the implicatins (含义) f grwing up in envirnments with limited pprtunities fr expsure t nature”.
Accrding t the study, 73 percent f Eurpe’s ppulatin nly has limited access (接触机会) t natural spaces. Mark Nieuwenhuijsen, directr f ISGlbal’s Urban Planning, said that “Many children in Eurpe lead an indr lifestyle … s we call n plicymakers t imprve the availability (可得性) f natural spaces fr children.”
While this study was based in Eurpe, a lack f green space can affect anyne, anywhere. S remember t make time t immerse yurself in nature, as yur mental health is just as imprtant as the physical ne.
What was the purpse f the ISGlbal’s walking study?
A. T examine the advantages f taking a walk.
B. T understand the mental health prblems f children.
C. T see hw childhd experiences shape adult life.
D. T study the influence f childhd expsure t natural spaces.

My husband came acrss the prgram frm my father-in-law’s high schl graduatin, 90 years ag. It was the Class f 1928 and their class mtt (格言) was “Build fr character, nt fr fame.”
I’m pretty sure sciety has dne a full reverse n that ne.
These days, we have peple wh are famus fr simply being famus. They haven’t dne anything particularly impressive, but they d take great selfies.
We are all bsessed with fame these days, mainly thanks t scial media. All we want is fr peple t fllw us, friend us, like us, r share ur psts. We are nearly desperate fr fame.
“Build fr character, nt fr fame,” is based n the assumptin that ne is lking up and ahead. That’s an encuraging idea, especially tday, when mst f us have ur heads dwn, lking at the screens f ur smartphnes. Lking ahead and building fr character takes thught and intentinality (意向性).
One can be intentinal in building fr fame as well, but fame ften relies heavily n the right timing and cnnectins, as well as the creatin f a base f fans and supprters.
Character isn’t subject t the ideas f thers. Character is built with self-discipline (自律), and a willingness t learn frm difficulties. Character grws internally (内在地) and needs n applause.
Fame depends n peple lking at yu, while character is wh yu are when n ne is lking.
Fame ften cmes with jealusy (嫉妒); a feeling that time is running ut r that smene better than yu is cming t steal yur fans.
Character is marked by feeling cntent and being generus. There is satisfactin that cmes with the reward f achievements, but at the same time, gd character willingly hlds the dr pen fr thers wh are als hping t achieve.
This cmmencement (毕业典礼) seasn, speakers will tell new graduates t get ut there and build a better wrld.
The best way t build a better wrld is t build character, the kind that runs deep and can carry yu thrugh life’s strms.
Build character with curage, justice (公正) and strength. Build character by respecting yurself and respecting thers. Build character with kindness, hpe and lve. Build fr character and yu will build a better wrld.
