阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

A

Inspired by his mentor Louis Sullivan, an influential figure in the world of modernist architecture, Frank Lloyd Wright coined the term 'organic architecture’ around 1908.

Rather than imitating nature or organic elements within the natural world, organic architecture is more concerned with re-interpretation of nature and harmony between the organic and the built environment. It ensures that the individual elements within buildings are put together to reflect the order within nature. Here are 4 of the most striking examples.

Casa Milà

Location: Barcelona, Spain

Year of completion:1910

Architect: Antoni Gaudi

Considered the greatest exponent of Catalan Modernism, Antoni Gaudi was devoted to nature and the Catholic religion. While he originally intended this organic building to have a religious purpose, it is now an apartment building. True to the organic style, it features honey shapes that seemingly emerge from the earth.

Learning Hub at Nanyang Technological University （NTU）

Location: Singapore

Year of completion:2015

Architect: Thomas Heatherwick

Earning the nicknames 'dim sum basket building' and 'the Hive', the Learning Hub consists of 12 eight-storey towers arranged around a public atrium. The organic nature of the building extends to its interior with features like gardens that are intended to encourage social interactions and study among students.

Falling Water

Location: Mill Run, Pennsylvania

Year of completion:1939

Architect: Frank Lloyd Wright

A classic of modernism and organic architecture, Falling Water sits on top of a waterfall. Frank Lloyd Wright designed it for the Kaufmann family who-though they had originally hoped for a view of the waterfall-came to love the home.

East Beach Café

Location: Littlehampton, UK

Year of completion:2007

Architect: Thomas Heatherwick

Located in a seaside area with an industrial history, East Beach Cafe resembles（像）a piece of driftwood. Forty meters long, seven meters wide and five meters high, it initially polarised locals, but has since been well-received by the whole community. It was the first building for Thomas Heatherwick who previously was better known as a sculptor.

21. Which building has the longest history?

A. Casa Milà.      B. Learning Hub at NTU.

C. Falling Water.     D. East Beach Cafe.

22. What can we learn about East Beach Café?

A. It remains floating on the sea.

B. It serves to encourage social interactions.

C. It was not accepted by all the locals initially.

D. It was originally intended for a particular family.

23. Which of the following magazines is the text probably taken from?

A. Natural World    B. Architectural Digest

C. Organic Gardening    D. Extraordinary Figures

B

As a child, I was proud of my southern origin. My own voice reflected my family's past and present-part northern Mississippi, part Tennessee, all southern. There was no sound I loved more than my grandmother's accent: thick, sweet, warm.

While growing up. I began to realize outside of our region, southerners were often dismissed as uncultured and ignorant. I was ready to leave behind my tiny town in West Tennessee, starting a new life and jumping at big chances in some far-off cities. In that embarrassing space between "teen" and “adult", my accent was a symbol of everything I thought I hated about my life in the rural South. I feared it would disqualify me from being a noted magazine writer. I would have to talk less “country”. So I killed a piece of myself. I'm ashamed of it, but I'm more ashamed that I tried to kill that part of someone else-change Emily's accent.

I met Emily in college. She was determined to work for the student newspaper, which was where I spent most of my waking hours, and we became friends. She, unlike me, accepted her roots. Early in our friendship, her mother asked where I was from, assuming it was somewhere up north. Then I felt my efforts paid off and even wanted to ignore the mistake.

Emily is two years younger and she cared about my opinion. I advised her to be more like me and hide her signature Manchester accent. I stressed that throughout our college years, often by making fun of her vowel（元音）sounds. I told myself I was helping her achieve her dream of working as a reporter. Now，I see that it was actually about justifying my hiding part of myself.

Grandma Carolyn used to tell me, "Girl, don't forget where you come from. "Now I truly understand that. Many things have faded from memory, but this sticks in my mind with uncomfortable clarity. Now that I am grown and have left the South, it's important to me.

24. What made the author want to leave her hometown?

A. Appeal of convenience in cities.

B. Her dream of becoming a writer.

C. Outside prejudice against southerners.

D. Her desire for the northern accent.

25. How did the author feel about the mistake of Emily's mother?

A. Upset.

B. Pleased.

C. Ashamed.

D. Surprised.

26. Why on earth did the author try to change Emily's accent?

A. To prove herself right.

B. To help Emily be a reporter.

C. To make herself influential.

D. To protect Emily's self-dignity.

27. What message does the text want to convey?

A. Stay true to your roots.

B. Never do things by halves.

C. Hold on to your dreams.

D. Never judge a person by his accent.

C

In her book The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up, Marie Kondo makes the case that decluttering （清理杂物）can dramatically transform your life. Ridding your spaces of unused and unwanted stuff can make you happier, more confident and maybe even slimmer.

Judging by the popularity of her message and method, Kondo's philosophy satisfies many people's need. Yet the evidence backing the benefits of decluttering is mixed.

One 2013 study found that orderly spaces promote healthy choices but also conventional thinking, while working in a messy or disorganized space promotes creativity and new ideas. Einstein, famously, had a very untidy desk and has been quoted as saying, “If a cluttered desk is a sign of a cluttered mind, of what, then, is an empty desk a sign?”

Another study linked physical clutter （杂乱）to lower levels of life satisfaction. But one of the authors of that study says that clutter, rather than a problem in and of itself, seems to be a symptom of other problems，especially unchecked consumerism（无节制的消费）. ＂In this society of abundance we live in，I think the idea that we have to have more makes us less satisfied with life, "says Joseph Ferrari, coauthor of the study. “It isn't abundance that's the problem as much as attachment to abundance. "

Other psychologists say technology may also be contributing to America's keenness for organization. The complexity and disorderliness of life online encourages many people to seek order in their physical spaces, Dr. Dodgen Magee says. “But then you find when your room or your inbox is organized, your world hasn't stopped being complex, "she says. At this point, many people decide even more organizing is needed，she says. But this can lead to compulsive （难控制的）tidying and，unavoidably，a sense of failure when you just can't keep things as neat and orderly as you'd like them to be, she explains.

"The more of a mess our internal world becomes, the more likely we are to grab onto something that gives us this sense of peace, "she says. While a little tidying can be a calming distraction, she says, it's a temporary bandage, not a cure.

28. What do we know about Kondo's philosophy?

A. It's based on solid evidence.

B. It involves spirit-lifting methods.

C. It's popular with many people.

D. It leads people to recycle unused stuff.

29. What does the example of Einstein serve to show?

A. An empty desk is a sign of an empty mind.

B. Orderly workspaces can bring health benefits.

C. An untidy desk can damage working efficiency.

D. Messy environments are likely to encourage creativity.

30. What does Joseph Ferrari say about physical clutter?

A. It determines people's life satisfaction.

B. It contributes to unchecked consumerism.

C. It reflects people's attachment to technology.

D. It arises from the desire for more possessions.

31. What can be inferred about tidying from the last two paragraphs?

A. It can lead to a feeling of frustration.

B. It makes people's world more complex.

C. It can provide lasting peace of mind.

D. It works better with the help of technology.

D

More than 360 million years ago，during the Devonian（泥盆纪）period，life was flourishing in spectacular fashion. As fish and invertebrates populated the seas, the first trees emerged on land. But by the end of the Devonian, more than half of all Earth's species had disappeared in a series of mass extinctions. New research shows how tree evolution could have contributed to these extinction events.

As land plants diversified, "they started to grow more complex root systems that were able to reach farther down to grab water, "says U. S. Naval Academy oceanographer Mathew Smart, lead author of the new study in the Geological Society of American Bulletin. Deep tree roots drew crucial minerals such as phosphorus（磷）out of the bedrock and then eventually decayed，forming mineral-rich soil. Periodically， large quantities of this soil were washed into the seas and lakes-where the sudden phosphorus inflow caused harmful algal blooms（藻华）that pulled oxygen from the waters below. Then came a series of large-scale extinctions.

The researchers tracked this deadly pattern in five prehistoric lake beds in Scotland and Greenland. They measured a gradual phosphorus decrease in sediment layers from the middle to late Devonian, accompanied by sudden increase of the mineral with evidence of corresponding oxygen depletion（耗竭）.

“We've been working on the Devonian for a long time, and we have been thinking that these cycles have occurred, but we couldn't really explain it, " says Anne-Christine Da Silva, a sedimentologist at the University of Liège in Belgium. "This paper could bring an explanation. "

University of New Mexico planetary scientist Maya Elrick, who was also not involved in the study, says that while the oxygen depletion incidents coincided with extinctions, it is unclear how much of a role tree roots played. Phosphorus levels did gradually decrease overall as trees evolved, but she says this reduction may have already been occurring: “If it's a trend that was happening prior, you can't blame it on the plants. "

Next, Smart's team plans to test its results using computer models to see whether plants on land could have caused ocean-wide oxygen depletion and corresponding extinction-analysis that could also help predict modern algal blooms' impact.

32. What's the main idea of paragraph 2?

A. The evolution of land plants.

B. The effect of phosphorus inflow.

C. The source of crucial minerals.

D. The process of mass extinctions.

33. What's Anne-Christine Da Silva's attitude towards the research finding?

A. Disapproving.

B. Favorable.

C. Doubtful.

D. Unclear.

34. Which of the following statements does Maya Elrick agree with?

A. Oxygen depletion worsened as trees evolved.

B. Tree evolution can't necessarily reveal extinctions.

C. Plant extinction resulted from the mineral increase.

D. Phosphorus reduction occurred before tree evolution.

35. What is a suitable title for the text?

A. The Rise and Fall of the Devonian Period

B. The Role of Phosphorus in Trees' Evolution

C. Algal Blooms Contribute to Oxygen Depletion

D. Tree Roots May Have Set Off Mass Extinctions

Pets should not be left alone for too long during the day. But our busy lifestyles will sometimes tear us away. 36 Here are some tips to keep your pets content.

Cats don't simply curl up and sleep when you leave. 37 If they have a friend or sibling they will create games and comfort one another but if they are alone they will need more stimuli（刺激物）. Leaving the TV or radio on can help, and while you work out their favorite channel, you can't go far wrong with classical music.

38 They will keep your cat physically and mentally busy, which will lessen the separation anxiety. Some of the toys are also practical for your home, such as scratching posts to prevent the furniture from being scratched.

It's not just cats that suffer from separation anxiety. Dogs also dislike being left alone and unfortunately they can't tell whether it's been ten minutes or ten hours: the displeasure felt is very similar.

39 Background noise from the TV or radio can help them to feel less alone. There is even a dog TV channel designed to create happy and calm thoughts in dogs, showing idyllic scenes of fields, beaches and other dogs.

You can also gradually lengthen the distance and time of your separation until your dogs can be left alone for 20 minutes without showing their usual symptoms of sadness and stress. 40

A. A number of cat toys are also helpful.

B. Schedule daily play sessions with your cats.

C. But you can help ease the negative feeling at least.

D. That creates a lot of guilt and worry for their well-being.

E. In this way, they can disassociate your absence with negativity.

F. They need stimulation for the period when they will be left alone.

G. Over time, they will look forward to their separation to get a reward.

"SAI BABA! Sai Baba! Sai Baba! Hahahaha!”

“Today is Shimla's big day! We have a celebrity visiting our city! Hahahaha!" Rani's cheekcs burned with embarrassment and tears stung her eyes as she elbowed her way to the exit through the crowd of teasing boys in the packed school bus. It wasn't the first time she'd been called Sai Baba, after the famous Hindu holy man （印度圣人）she＇d seen on TV with his trademark afro（爆炸式卷发）towering over his head.

But this time had to be the worst. Rani jumped off the school bus, angry thoughts hovering inside Rani's head as she marched home in the drizzling rain. Why did her hair have to curl like a giant cotton candy balloon just when she wanted it to behave? Why, why. why, fumed Rani as she turned the back door key.

“Rani, is that you?”Mama called from the family room. Suddenly Rani's cousins, Amit and Sumit, came charging toward her. “How many eggs does Rani have in that nest on her head?" screamed Amit. "Let me get that wig（假发）off Rani＇s head！＂shouted Sumit. Before she could think，Rani had fled out the door and went back up the road she'd walked down minutes before. Halfway up, she slid unseen behind a green curtain of bamboo. Tearing through the wild growth, she made her way down a narrow mud path into a clearing（空地）. She threw her schoolbag on the ground and breathed hard.

“I hate my hair!" she cried. Collapsing on her schoolbag, she bitterly remembered the time she'd spent trying to smooth her hair in vain. Before long, she fell into a fitful sleep.

“RANI! RAA-AANI!"

Rani woke up to Mama's calls. She sounded anxious. "I'll never go home, "she promised herself darkly. Mama let Amit and Sumit make fun of me. Papa would never have done that. He would listen to me and stand by my side. The minutes wore on. Alone in her secret hideout, Rani watched the shadow of Mamna get longer and begin to disappear as dusk fell.

注意：1．续写词数应为150左右：

2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

Paragraph 1:

Suddenly, leaves rustling, someone or something was making its way into the clearing.
