When I was growing up，I had an old neighbour named Dr Gibbs.He didn't look like any doctor I'd ever known.He never yelled at us for playing in his yard.I remember him as someone who was a lot nicer than most of the adults in our community.
When Dr Gibbs wasn't saving lives，he was planting trees.His house sat on ten acres，and his life's goal was to make it a forest.
The good doctor had some interesting theories concerning plant care and growth.He never watered his new trees，which flew in the face of conventional wisdom.Once I asked why.He said that watering plants spoiled them so that each successive tree generation would grow weaker and weaker.So you have to make things rough for them and weed out （淘汰） the weaker trees early on.
He talked about how watering trees made for shallow roots，and how trees that weren't watered had to grow deep roots in search of moisture.I took him to mean that deep roots were to be treasured.
So he never watered his trees.He planted an oak and，instead of watering it every morning，he'd beat it with a rolled-up newspaper.Smack!Slap!Pow!I asked him why he did that，and he said it was to get the tree's attention.
Dr Gibbs passed away a couple of years after I left home.Every now and again，I walked by his house and looked at the trees that I'd watched him plant some twenty-five years ago.They're extremely tall，big and robust since they have deep roots now.However，the trees in my garden trembled in a cold wind although I had watered them for several years.
It seems that adversity （逆境） and suffering benefit these trees in ways comfort and ease never could.I stood there deep in thought.
Every night before I go to bed，I check on my two sons.I stand over them and watch their little bodies，the rising and falling of life within.I often pray for them.Mostly I pray that their lives will be easy.But I think it's time to change my prayer （祷词） because now I know my children are going to encounter hardship.
4. According to Dr Gibbs' theories，trees will become weaker if they ______ .
A. are lack of care B. are watered
C. are weeded out D. are beaten
5. The underlined word "robust" in Para.6 most probably means " ______ ".
A. strong B. strange C. deep D. old
6. Which of the following may be the author's best prayer for his two sons now？ ______
A. I wish them strong wings，with which they can fly higher and touch the sky.
B. I wish them nice fortune so that they can meet people like Dr Gibbs in the future.
C. I wish them deep roots into the earth since the rains fall and the winds blow often.
D. I wish them great shades under the tree since the sunlight is always sharp and bitter.
7. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage？ ______
A. A nice doctor. B. The deep roots.
C. Adversity and suffering. D. My childhood memory.
C
Researchers at Columbia University in New York have created a 3 D printer that makes cheesecake.
In research published Tuesday in the journal npj Science of Food，the engineers describe how their 3 D printer made a cheesecake from seven ingredients：graham cracker，peanut butter，Nutella，banana puree，strawberry jam，cherry drizzle，and frosting；a retrofitted （改装） 3 D printer was used；the printing head could pick up any of the seven food "inks" to add to the slice.The final result tasted pretty sweet.
Blutinger，head of the researcher，said in a press release describing the research， "The cheesecake is the best thing we can showcase right now，but the printer can do a whole lot more." 3 D printed food could make foods more customizable — and possibly more nutritious.With more emphasis on food safety，food prepared with less human handling could lower the risk of foodborne illness and disease transmission.
Is 3 D food printing healthy？ "We have an enormous problem with the low-nutrient value of processed foods，" Cooper said. "3 D food printing will still turn out processed foods，but perhaps the silver lining will be，for some people，better control and tailoring of nutrition — personalized nutrition."
"On every scale，from food manufacturers to restaurants and homes，3 D printers might be the next step in automation，removing more people from the preparation process.You'll likely pay more for your first 3 D food printer than you did for your air fryer.When the first ones arrive，perhaps in five years or so，they will likely come in at less than ＄1，000，" Blutinger said.
8. What is used to make cheesecake？ ______
A. A 3 D film. B. A newly-built 3 D printer.
C. A new printing head. D. A modified 3 D printer.
9. What can Blutinger agree with？ ______
A. The cheesecake is the best in the world.
B. 3 D printed food belongs to natural foods.
C. 3 D printed food could be everything but nutritious.
D. 3 D printed food could lower the risk of disease transmission.
10. What can we learn about the 3 D printer？ ______
A. It can print salty cakes.
B. It is possible for massive production.
C. It will be too much expensive to buy.
D. It can be put into the market at once.
11. Where can readers find the text？ ______
A. In an entertainment website. B. In an advertisement.
C. In a science magazine. D. In a storybook.
D
What's more important in determining life success-book smarts or street smarts？This question gets at the heart of an important debate contrasting the relative importance of cognitive（认知的）intelligence （CI） and emotional intelligence （EI）.
Cognitive intelligence is still recognized as an important element of success，particularly when it comes to academic achievements.People with high cognitive intelligence typically do well in school，often earn more money，and tend to be healthier in general.
But today experts recognize that cognitive intelligence is not the only determining factor of life success.Instead，it is part of a complex range of influences-one that includes emotional intelligence.Many companies now provide emotional intelligence training and use emotional intelligence tests as part of the hiring process.Research has found that individuals with strong leadership potential also tend to be more emotionally intelligent，suggesting that high emotional intelligence is an important equality for business leaders and managers.According to a survey of hiring managers，almost 75% of the responders suggested that they valued an employee's emotional intelligence more than his cognitive intelligence.
Now that emotional intelligence is so important，can it be taught or strengthened？According to one meta-analysis that looked at the results of social and emotional learning programmes，the answer to that question is definitely yes.Strategies for teaching emotional intelligence include character education，modeling positive behaviours，encouraging people to think about how others are feeling，and finding ways to be more empathetic（感同身受的）towards others.
All in all，life success is a result of many factors.Both cognitive intelligence and emotional intelligence play roles in overall success，as well as health，wellness，and happiness.Rather than focusing on which factors have a prior influence，the greatest benefit may lie in learning to improve skills in multiple areas.In addition to strengthening cognitive abilities，such as memory and mental focus，you can also acquire and improve social and emotional skills.
12. What can we know about people with book smarts？ ______
A. They can debate with other people.
B. They can deal with various situations.
C. They can be outstanding in academic research.
D. They can be good at gaining real life experience.
13. Why does the author mention the data in Paragraph 3？ ______
A. To indicate the strictness of the hiring process.
B. To prove the importance of emotional intelligence.
C. To explain the result of emotional intelligence tests.
D. To show the influence of cognitive intelligence on success.
14. What can be learned concerning emotional intelligence？ ______
A. Evaluating how others feel. B. One's extreme behaviours.
C. One's academic performance. D. Controlling others' emotions.
15. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text？ ______
A. Does book smarts matter？
B. Is CI or El more important？
C. What counts most in life？
D. Mental health or physical health？

My husband Fred and I moved to a new place. We bought a small house in a reasonably good neighborhood close to Fred's office. It was a one-and-a-half-floor brick house built for soldiers returning from World War Ⅱ. That house impressed nobody except me. We had to decorate it first because it was so old. Fred and I started to paint the walls and the doors. I also worked outside the house, helping Fred break the ugly fence between us and the neighbors and grow some flowers.
After I finished painting walls in the bedroom upstairs, I brought up some water and old towels to wash the window. I washed the inside, then opened the window and stepped out on the kitchen roof to wash the outside. The window was the kind that you couldn't open from the outside.
I was so devoted to my housework that I didn't realize the window gradually closed. After finishing cleaning, I stood back to admire the clean glass. And then, I tried to open the window, but I failed. Standing on my kitchen roof, I looked around the neighborhood. That was a lovely afternoon. Where were the neighbor kids riding their bikes？ They often rode back from the park. No young voices shouted to one another. The neighbor on the left was at work. Carroll and Julie, an elderly couple, lived in the house at the corner and were our nextdoor neighbors. They were likely to be at home, but our kitchen was on the wrong side of our house for me to call them.
I sat down and thought about my situation. Even if someone came along, he couldn't walk in the house and open the window. The doors were locked. That was my husband's doing. "When you're working on an indoor project, anyone could just open the door and come in. So, just keep the doors closed," he would say. I just needed a rope to get down. I sat there, thinking how stupid I was and wishing a rope would magically appear.
注意：
（1）续写词数应为150左右；

答案和解析

1~3.【答案】D、D、C
【解析】【文章大意】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了四个博物馆以及各自的特色。
1. 根据The British Museum, London部分中的The British Museum contains objects from around the world, including the Rosetta Stone, with three versions of a text that helped researchers learn to read ancient Egyptian.（大英博物馆收藏了来自世界各地的物品，包括罗塞塔石碑，其中有三种文本版本，帮助研究人员学习阅读古埃及语）可知，大英博物馆容纳了来自世界各地的物品，即来自不同国家的展品，故选D。
2. 根据The J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles County中的Its virtual tour, accessible through Google Arts & Culture, offers views of more recent works, including some by Van Gogh and Renoir.（它的虚拟之旅可以通过谷歌Arts & Culture访问，提供了更多的近期作品，包括梵高和雷诺阿的一些作品）可知，J. Paul Getty博物馆适合对梵高作品感兴趣的游客，故选D。
3. 根据The British Museum, London部分中的The virtual tour of the museum offers a 360-degree view of the room, allowing visitors to look at every piece.（虚拟的博物馆之旅提供了360度的房间视野，让游客可以看到每一件作品）；MASP, São Paulo部分中的This setup, included in the virtual tour shows, makes the art appear almost magical.（这种设置，包括在虚拟巡回展览中，使艺术看起来几乎是神奇的）；National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Korea部分中的There are also online exhibitions such as "Artists in Their Times" which traces trends in Korean art since the late 1970s.（在网上也有追溯70年代末以后韩国美术动向的“时代艺术家”等展览）以及The J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles County中的Its virtual tour, accessible through Google Arts & Culture, offers views of more recent works, including some by Van Gogh and Renoir.（通过谷歌艺术与文化网站的虚拟之旅，可以看到更多的近期作品，包括梵高和雷诺阿的一些作品）可知，列出的博物馆的共同之处是你都可以在你自己家里参观它们，故选C。

4~7.【答案】B、A、C、B
【解析】（1）细节理解题。根据文章第三段He never watered his new trees，which flew in the face of conventional wisdom.Once I asked why.He said that watering plants spoiled them so that each successive tree generation would grow weaker and weaker.（他从不给新栽的树浇水，这与传统观念背道而驰。有一次我问他为什么。他说，浇水会破坏植物，这样每一代树都会越来越弱。）可知，根据吉布斯博士的理论，如果给树木浇水，它们会变得更弱。故选B。
（2）词义猜测题。根据上文They're extremely tall，big （他们非常高大）文章下文since they have deep roots now（因为他们现在已经根深蒂固了）和However，the trees in my garden trembled in a cold wind although I had watered them for several years.（然而，我花园里的树在寒风中颤抖，尽管我已经给它们浇了好几年水。）可知，通过没有浇水的树和浇水的树之间的对比，没浇水的树更"强壮"，所以可推测出画线词很可能是"强壮的"意思。A．strong强壮的；B．strange奇怪的；C．deep深的；D．old老的。故选A。
（3）推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段It seems that adversity （逆境） and suffering benefit these trees in ways comfort and ease never could.（不幸和苦难似乎比舒适和安逸更能给这些树带来好处。）和最后一段I often pray for them.Mostly I pray that their lives will be easy.But I think it's time to change my prayer （祷词） because now I know my children are going to encounter hardship.（我经常为他们祈祷。我主要祈祷他们的生活能一帆风顺。但我认为是时候改变我的祈祷了，因为现在我知道我的孩子们将会遇到困难。）可知，作者改变了之前的祈祷，也知道孩子们以后将会遇到困难，所以可推知现在作者的祈祷是希望孩子们深深扎根在泥土里，因为雨水经常下，风经常吹。故选C。
（4）标题归纳题。分析全文内容可知，文章主要讲述了作者的医生邻居不同寻常的种树经历，如不给树浇水等，最后树长的非常高大强壮，并经得起风吹雨打，是因为树的根非常深了，由此想到了孩子们以后将会遇到困难，所以祈祷孩子们像大树一样能深深扎根在泥土里，能经得起风雨的洗礼，故B选项"深根"适合用作文章标题。故选B。
短文主要写了作者小时候的邻居Dr Gibbs是一位友善的老人，他喜欢种树并有一些关于植物护理和生长的有趣理论。他从不给树浇水，而是用报纸打树，认为这样可以让树长出深根。作者离家后，回来看到Dr Gibbs种下的树已经长得高大茁壮，而自己花了几年浇水的树却在寒风中颤抖。作者开始意识到逆境和苦难对树木的好处，决定改变自己的祈祷，希望孩子们能够面对困难。

8~11.【答案】D、D、B、C
【解析】（1）细节理解题。根据第二段In research published Tuesday in the journal npj Science of Food，the engineers describe how their 3 D printer made a cheesecake from seven ingredients：graham cracker，peanut butter，Nutella，banana puree，strawberry jam，cherry drizzle，and frosting；a retrofitted （改装） 3 D printer was used （周二发表在《npj食品科学》杂志上的一项研究中，工程师们描述了他们的3 D打印机是如何用7种原料制作芝士蛋糕的：全麦饼干、花生酱、Nutella牌榛子巧克力酱、香蕉泥、草莓酱、樱桃糖浆和糖霜；使用了改装的3 D打印机）可知，用于制作芝士蛋糕的是一台改装后的3 D打印机。故选D项。
（2）细节理解题。根据第三段With more emphasis on food safety，food prepared with less human handling could lower the risk of foodborne illness and disease transmission. （随着对食品安全的重视，较少人工处理的食品可以降低食源性疾病和疾病传播的风险。）可知，Blutinger会同意3 D打印的食品可以降低疾病传播的风险。故选D项。
（3）推理判断题。根据最后一段On every scale，from food manufacturers to restaurants and homes，3 D printers might be the next step in automation，removing more people from the preparation process. （从食品制造商到餐馆和家庭，3 D打印机可能是自动化的下一步，将更多的人从准备过程中解脱出来。）可知，3 D打印机可能会让制作食品自动化，全面进入食品工业和家庭。由此推知，3 D打印机有可能大规模生产。A．It can print salty cakes.它可以打印咸蛋糕；B．It is possible for massive production.大规模生产是可能的；C．It will be too much expensive to buy.买起来太贵了；D．It can be put into the market at once.它可以立即投入市场。故选B项。
（4）文章出处题。通读全文可知，文章介绍了研究人员发明了一种可以制作芝士蛋糕的3 D打印机，并且研究人员认为它拥有可定制、更营养、减少疾病传播风险的优势，将来可能实现量产。因此，文章属于科学技术领域，读者应该可以在科学杂志上阅读到它。故选C项。
哥伦比亚大学的研究人员在纽约创建了一台可以制作起司蛋糕的3 D打印机。研究人员在《npj食品科学》杂志上发表的研究中描述了他们的3 D打印机是如何使用七种原料制作起司蛋糕的。该打印机可以选择任何一种原料来添加到蛋糕上。最终的结果味道很甜。研究人员表示，3 D打印食品可以使食物更加可定制，可能也更加营养。此外，3 D打印食品还可以降低食物中传染病的风险。虽然3 D打印食品仍然是加工食品，但对于一些人来说，它可能会带来更好的营养控制和个性化营养。研究人员还表示，从食品制造商到餐馆和家庭，3 D打印机可能是自动化的下一步，可以减少人们的参与。预计在未来五年左右，首批3 D食品打印机将推出市场，价格可能低于1000美元。
做这类题材阅读理解时要求考生对文章通读一遍，做题时结合原文和题目有针对性的找出相关语句进行仔细分析，结合选项选出正确答案。

12~15.【答案】C、B、A、B
【解析】（1）细节理解题。根据文章第二段Cognitive intelligence is still recognized as an important element of success，particularly when it comes to academic achievement.（认知智力仍然被认为是成功的重要因素，尤其是在学术成就方面）可知，读书聪明的人往往在学术研究方面表现突出。故选C。
（2）推理判断题。根据文章第三段According to a survey of hiring managers，almost 75% of the responders suggested that they valued an employee's emotional intelligence more than his cognitive intelligence.（根据一项对招聘经理的调查，几乎75%的应答者表示，他们更重视员工的情商，而不是他的认知智力）可以推知，作者在第三段提到数据是为了证明情商的重要性。故选B。
（3）细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段Strategies for teaching emotional intelligence include character education，modeling positive behaviors，encouraging people to think about how others are feeling，and finding ways to be more empathetic （共鸣） toward others. （情商包括品格教育、教学策略建模积极行为，鼓励人们去思考别人的感受，和他人产生共鸣）可知，关于情商我们能学到评估别人的感受。故选A。
（4）标题归纳题。根据文章第一段What's more important in determining life success — book smarts or street smarts？（在决定人生成功的过程中，哪一个更重要——书本知识还是街头智慧？）以及最后一段 Both cognitive intelligence and emotional intelligence play roles in overall success，as well as health，wellness，and happiness.Rather than focusing on which factors have a prior influence，the greatest benefit may lie in learning to improve skills in multiple areas.（认知智力和情商在整体成功，以及卫生、健康和幸福中都发挥着作用。与其关注哪些因素具有优先影响力，学习提高多个领域的技能才是最有益的）可知，文章一直在讨论情商与智商谁更重要，故选B。
这篇短文主要讨论了决定人生成功的重要因素是智商还是情商。智商在学术成就方面仍然被认为是成功的重要因素，高智商的人通常在学校表现出色，赚更多的钱，并且总体上更健康。然而，现在专家们认识到智商并不是人生成功的唯一决定因素，情商也是一个重要的影响因素。许多公司现在提供情商培训，并在招聘过程中使用情商测试。研究发现，具有领导潜力的人通常也更具情商，这表明情商对于商业领导者和经理人来说是一个重要的品质。调查显示，近75%的招聘经理表示他们更看重员工的情商而不是智商。情商可以通过教育和培训来提高，包括培养积极行为、鼓励人们思考他人的感受，并找到更多同理心的方式。总的来说，人生成功是多种因素的结果，智商和情商在整体成功、健康、幸福方面都起到作用。与其专注于哪个因素有更大的影响，学习提高多个领域的技能可能会带来最大的好处。除了增强记忆和注意力等认知能力外，还可以获得和提高社交和情感技能。

【解析】（1）考查介词搭配。句意：在中国，与茶有关的国家级非物质文化遗产项目有44项，其中包括碧螺春，一种绿茶的制作工艺。be related to是固定短语，表示"与……有关"。故填to。
（2）考查不定冠词。句意：在中国，与茶有关的国家级非物质文化遗产项目有44项，其中包括碧螺春，一种绿茶的制作工艺。type为可数名词，此处为泛指且是发音以辅音音素开头的单词。a type of "一种"。故填a。
（3）考查定语从句。句意：碧螺春，译作"绿色螺旋春天"，由嫩芽制成，已有1000年的历史。此处为非限制性定语从句修饰先行词Biluochun，从句缺少主语，指物，故填which。
（4）考查名词。句意：它以螺旋状的外观而闻名。分析句子结构可知，空格处作介词的宾语，应用名词，appear的名词是appearance，该词是不可数名词。故填appearance。

（7）考查副词。句意：传统上，碧螺春完全是手工制作的。分析句子结构可知，空格处修饰后文介词短语应用副词entirely，故填entirely。
（8）考查过去分词。句意：从一棵大茶树上采摘的大约1公斤的叶子经过加工后只能产生0.1公斤的茶叶。分析句子结构可知，空格处是非谓语部分，pick与逻辑主语1 kilogram of leaves构成被动关系，故用过去分词作定语。故填picked。
（9）考查不定式。句意：一个人需要特别注意调节温度，通过气味来判断茶的状况。短语be attentive to do sth表示"注意做某事"。故填to adjust。
（10）考查时态及部分倒装。句意：接下来是成型过程。陈述客观事实用一般现在时，主语为the shaping process，谓语用三单形式。故填comes。
这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了碧螺春茶的相关知识和制作过程。
