I was sitting in between my parents n a 15-hur flight frm Trnt t Seul, where I was ging t negtiate a bk prject. My Airbnb had enugh rm fr us all. S when my parents brught it up as a half-jke that they wuld cme, t, I didn't think it was unreasnable.
I was merely 8 when we embarked n ur immigratin jurney. Krea was their cuntry. They wuldn't need me there as they did in Canada. But the first week prved t be rugh. We were upside dwn with the time change. My father annunced that the first thing they wanted t d was visit my grandma's grave (坟墓) . We had discussed visiting a few relatives, but ging t grandma's grave had never cme up. It was starting: family bligatins seized my wrk time. "Yu guys g, I said. While my father shwered, my mther tk me aside. "Yur dad has always been cunting the days fr the mment when he can shw her hw well yu grew up. "I laughed but I was deeply mved. S I decided t accmpany them.
As we apprached the graveyard, I gathered sme clred wildflwers frm the parking lt and tied them with a lng piece f grass. My parents gt busy weeding arund the headstne. "Yur name is n the back, my father said. "See here?" I lked, and there was my Krean name carved beside thse f my siblings and cusins. It felt dd t see ur names n the headstne all f us, the living and dead, cnnected. I saw a link in a chain that stretches generatins back.
I didn't knw hw t tell them that the trip was amazing. I realized hw I was intertwined with them, and they were interwven int me. We dn't belng t languages r cuntries. My grandma died nly fur mnths befre we mved t Canada, when she was t frail (虚弱的) t make the trip. I hpe she knws that we did take her, and that maybe all we have is each ther.

Humans eat an astnishing amunt f meat every year-sme 800 billin punds f it, enugh flesh t fill rughly 28 millin dump trucks. Our desire fr meat, particularly in industrialized cuntries like the United States, is ne reasn why the planet is warming as fast as it is. Raising animals cnsumes a lt f land that culd therwise sak up carbn. Cws. sheep, and gats give ut heat-trapping methane (甲烷) . And t grw the crn, sy, and ther plants that thse animals eat, farmers spray fertilizer that emits nitrus xide (一氧化二氮) , anther planet-warming gas.
Cutting ut meat sunds like an effective apprach. But what wuld happen if everyne actually stpped eating meat tmrrw? Such a quick shift prbably wuldn't cause the srt f turmil that wuld cme if the planet immediately abandned fssil fuels. But still, the cnsequence culd be quite chatic, causing different prblems.
Researchers say the ecnmic damage caused by the sudden disappearance f meat wuld fall disprprtinately n lw-incme cuntries with farming ecnmies, like Niger r Kenya, where farming and raising livestck are critical surces f incme. Getting rid f livestck vernight wuld nt nly deprive many peple f essential nutrients, but als threaten fd security, especially in regins like Suth Asia and sub-Saharan Africa. Besides, there's the issue f cultural damage. Taking away meat, accrding t Wilsn Warren, a histry prfessr at Western Michigan University, wuld d mre than just deprive Americans f ht dgs and hamburgers and Italians f salami.
Rejecting meat entirely, let alne immediately, isn't an ideal slutin t the climate crisis. Dutkiewicz, a plitical ecnmist at the Pratt Institute, suggested using guidelines established by the EAT-Lancet Cmmissin, an internatinal grup f scientists wh have designed a diet intended t give peple the nutrients they need withut destrying the planet.

11．What might the authr cntinue talking abut?
A. The declining meat industry.B. Specific diet suggestins.
C. Glbal climate crisis.D. Farmers' prtest.
One f the wrld's greenest ffice buildings will frmally pen its drs this week. It's a prject f the envirnmentally prgressive Bullitt Fundatin. Its ambitin is bld: t shwcase an entirely self-sustaining ffice building hping that thers will create similar prjects.
The first thing that strikes yu abut the new Bullitt Center is an emphasis n walking. "In a building this size, any place else in Seattle it wuld have tw elevatrs. Here, the stairway is bvius and attractive," says Denis Hayes, CEO f the fundatin. He explains there is an elevatr, but it's well-hidden. The staircase encurages exercise and the cncept helps cut dwn n energy use.
This is ne f dzens f visinary decisins that went int this building. "It has eyes, ears, a nervus system and a brain and it respnds t its envirnment in a way that seeks t ptimize (优化) things," he says. He pints acrss the street t a mini weather statin. It sends data t the building s it can decide what it shuld d t cnserve energy.
"I think it's fair t say we were all a bit skeptical in the beginning, "says Chris Rgers, the funder f a firm in cperatin with the fundatin. Rgers and the thers set ut t meet the ambitius gals f the Living Building Challenge, a green building standard set by lcal architects.
Clearly this building is nt fr everyne. If yu think f it as simply an ffice building, it was relatively pricey t design and build. But if yu view it as a labratry, an educatinal center and a bld effrt t change hw things are built, the calculatin changes.
Still, ne culd wnder, is it pssible t build mre with similar self-sustaining features at a reasnable cst? "If this building isn't reprducible, then this experiment will have failed, says Rgers. But if it is successful, he's ptimistic thers will fllw the fundatin's lead. Rgers pints ut that ver the past cuple f decades, many builders have been integrating green elements int their buildings.
12．What mtivates the designers t highlight the stairway?
A. T beautify the building.B. T ffer cnvenience.
C. T hide the elevatr.D. T cnserve energy.
13．Which descriptin best summarizes the Bullitt Center accrding t paragraph 3?
A. A living rganism.B. A first respnder.
C. A brain system.D. A data base.
14．Which argument des Chris Rgers hld prbably?
A. It is reasnable t hld dubt in the building's future.
B. The building has been inspired by previus effrts.
C. The reprductin f the building is crucial.
D. The building stands fr a prgressive frce.
15．Which f the fllwing can be the best title fr the text?
A. Lk Inside The Wrld's Greenest Building
B. The Outlk Fr Green Buildings Is Prmising
C. Hw Can We Build Mre Green Buildings?
D. Will This Super Green Building Be Cpied?
二、七选五
16．Thse wh cnsciusly fcus n each inhalatin (吸气) and exhalatin (呼气) culd gain sme impressive health benefits, especially fr thse that struggle with meditatin (冥想) .
A new cntrlled study amng 108 participants (divided int tw grups: breathing and meditatin) fund that ver the curse f a mnth, five minutes f daily breath techniques prvided similar benefits t md and anxiety as five minutes f meditatin.①______The study suggests breathing exercises may be a mre "effective and pwerful" mental health tl than meditatin in the treatment f anxiety.
②______Thse wh spent five minutes wrking n their breath each day shwed the mst stress relief at the end f the mnth, with day-n-day imprvements in their mental and physilgical health.

Previus studies have shwn that inhalatins increase heart rate while exhalatins decrease it. Perhaps that's why cyclic sighing is s effective in relaxing the bdy and mind. Bx breathing, n the ther hand, is ften used by military persnnel t remain calm. ④______As humans, we never fully have cntrl ver ur bdies. ⑤______ Practicing a mment f cntrl, even simply t sigh, culd be just what the dctr rdered.

参考答案
1．答案：B
解析：根据第三段中的“It brings a cast f ver sixty actrs delivering their characteristic perfrmance. Tgether, they reflected the changes in the then Chinese sciety thrugh the Yutai Teahuse[它(《茶馆》)汇集了六十多个演员献上有特色的表演。他 们一起通过裕泰茶馆折射了当时中国社会的变化]”可知, 观众可以欣赏到有特色的集体表演。故选B。
2．答案：C
解析：细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Teahuse is a must-see fr everyne interested in cntemprary Chinese literature, and anyne interested in catching a glimpse f the remarkable changes in mdern China(对所有对中国当代文学感兴趣的人和任何 有兴趣一睹现代中国发生巨大变化的人来说, 《茶馆》都是必看的戏剧)”可知, 最适合观看这部戏的人是“China enthusiasts”,即对中国感兴趣的人。故选C。
3．答案：B
解析：细节理解题。根据第五段“Tickets are nw available t purchase fr the price f just $100 a piece(每人) at the bking ffice. Yu will enjy a 5% discunt ff the price if yu purchase thrugh ur website r app. Fr ur lcal theatergers wh have bught ur yearly plan, an extra 5% discunt will als cme yur way.(现在可以在售票处以每张100美元的价格购买门 票。如果您通过我们的网站或应用程序购买, 您将享受5%的折扣。对于购买了我们年度计划的本地戏迷, 您还可以享受额外 5%的折扣。)”可知, 一个外地游客在线上购买门票, 应该是只享受5%的折扣, 即100×95%×2=190(美元)。故选B。
4．答案：C
解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中的“ I was ging t negtiate a bk prject.”可知, 作者此行去韩国是要去协商一个图 书项目。
5．答案：B
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段倒数第二句“It was starting: family bligatins seized my wrk time.”可知, 家庭责任会占据作者 的工作时间。
6．答案：B
解析：细节理解题。根据第三段母亲对作者所说的话“Yur dad has always been cunting the days fr the mment when he can shw her hw well yu grew up.” 可知, 父亲一直都盼望着能带作者去奶奶的坟墓, 向奶奶展现作者的成长。
7．答案：D
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段第二、三句“I realized hw I was intertwined with them, and they were interwven int me. We dn't belng t languages r cuntries.”可知, 作者通过拜访奶奶的墓地, 意识到了他与父母之间的联结, 即人与人之间的联系(cnnectin) 。 最后一段最后一句“I hpe she knws that we did take her, and that maybe all we have is each ther.”也 表现出虽然奶奶没有一同移民加拿大, 但仍然心中有彼此。所以作者的感悟可以总结为D 项。
8．答案：C
解析：根据第一段中的“Our desire fr meat…is ne reasn why the planet is warming as fast as it is.”及“And t grw the crn, sy, and ther plants that thse animals eat, farmers spray fertilizer that emits nitrus xide(一氧化二氮),anther planet warming gas.”可知, 我们对肉的需求是地球变暖速度如此之快的原因之一。为了种植这些动物吃的玉米、大豆和其他植物, 农 民喷洒肥料, 释放出另一种使地球变暖的气体—一氧化二氮。人类对于肉的大量需求是造成全球变暖的一个原因。
9．答案：B
解析：根据第二段中的"Such a quick shift prbably wuldn't cause the srt f turmil that wuld cme if the planet immediately abandned fssil fuels. But still, the cnsequence culd be quite chatic, causing different prblems."尤其是“But still”的逻辑 关系可推出, 立刻摒弃肉食也许并不会像立即放弃化石燃料一样引起动荡。但是其后果依然混乱, 会造成不同的问题。
10．答案：D
解析： 根据文章第三段可知, 立刻摒弃肉食会引起经济衰退, 造成人类营养不良, 危害食品安全, 甚至损坏文化。A、B、C 选项内容 均不符合。
11．答案：B
解析：根据文章最后一段中的“Dutkiewicz, a plitical ecnmist at the Pratt Institute, suggested using guidelines established by the EAT-Lancet Cmmissin, an internatinal grup f scientists wh have designed a diet intended t give peple the nutrients they need withut destrying the planet.”可知, 普拉特研究所(Pratt Institute) 的政治经济学家杜特凯维奇 (Dutkiewicz) 建议使用EAT-柳叶刀委员会(EAT-Lancet Cmmissin)制定的指导方针, 该委员会是一个国际科学家小组, 他们设计了一种饮食, 旨在为人们提供所需的营养, 而不会破坏地球。后续应该进一步阐述此饮食结构。
12．答案：D
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The staircase encurages exercise and the cncept helps cut dwn n energy use.”可知, 设 计师对该栋建筑中楼梯的设计, 是出于鼓励锻炼和减少能源消耗的目的。因此D 选项符合。C 项属于干扰项, “隐藏电梯”是手 段, 并不是目的。故选D。
13．答案：A
解析：推理判断题。根据第三段中的“It has eyes, ears, a nervus system and a brain and it respnds t its envirnment in a way that seeks t ptimize(优化)things(它有眼睛、耳朵、神经系统和大脑, 并以一种寻求优化事物的方式对环境做出反应)”可知,该栋建筑(即 Bullitt Center)就仿佛是一个活的有机体一样。故选 A。
14．答案：C
解析：推理判断题。首先需要定位Chris Rgers的观点是来自第四段和第六段, 第五段是属于作者的观点, 因此可以排除D 选项 (该栋建筑代表着进步的力量);其次基于第六段中的“If this building isn't reprducible, then this experiment will have failed (如果这栋大楼不能被复制, 则此实验将失败)”,以及“But if it is successful, he's ptimistic thers will fllw the fundatin's lead. [但如果成功, 他(Chris Rgers)乐观地认为其他人会效仿基金会的做法(从而也修建类似的环保大楼)。]”可知, 该栋环保 建筑的复制推广是至关重要的。故选 C。
15．答案：D
解析：主旨大意题。基于全文可知, 本文主要是先介绍了西雅图一栋超级环保的新建筑的相关特色, 从而提出潜在的质疑和探讨 未来类似环保建筑的发展前景。D 项最具概括性, 可以统摄全文。C 选项是干扰项, 本文并没有谈要如何建设更多的环保建筑。故选 D。
16．答案：EFADB
解析：①本段空前提出, 一个研究发现, 呼吸与冥想对于情绪和焦虑的好处是相似的, 空后由“breathing exercises may be a mre 'effective and pwerful' mental health tl than meditatin”,呼吸的效果甚至更好, 可知E 项是承上启下的衔接句, 因此选择 E 项。
②本段后文内容说明的是具体的研究发现, 前句应该说明研究的过程, 之后才能得出后文的研究发现。同时 F 项中的“md and vital signs”也呼应本段中的“mental and physilgical health”,因此选择 F 项。
③空前提出, 本研究测试了三种不同的呼吸策略, 空后的段落内容论述了“cyclic sighing”要比另外两种呼吸策略(bx breathing, cyclic hyperventilatin)带来的改善效果更好, 因此选择A 项。
④本段前文论述了为什么“cyclic sighing”对于身心的放松作用更好。分析段落结构可知, 本段已经提到了两种呼吸策略的特点(本研究总共提出了三种策略),那么此空应该介绍第三种呼吸策略, 因此选择D 项。
⑤空前句“As humans, we never fully have cntrl ver ur bdies”提到, 我们人类从未完全控制我们的身体, B 项“这个事实 不应该被我们忽视”,承接下文, 引出“我们还可以做些什么”,因此选择B 项。
17．答案：C
解析：句意：大卫出生在一个贫寒的家庭, 为了维持收支平衡, 他不得不努力工作(struggle) 。 答案从后文第四段第二句中的“but he struggled n”可得到验证。
18．答案：D
解析：句意：然而, 他决心超越自己的处境(circumstance),成就伟业。
19．答案：B
解析：句意：当大卫在高中时, 他面临来自同学的欺凌, 这让他有挫败感(defeated)。

22．答案：C
解析：句意：然而, 他在商界既没有钱, 也没有人脉(cnnectin)。
23．答案：A
解析：句意：大卫开始(launched) 他的第一个商业项目时, 他口袋里只有几百美元。launched 此处意为started。
24．答案：B
解析：句意：慢慢地但毫无疑问地(surely), 他的生意开始蒸蒸日上。
25．答案：C
解析：句意同上。take ff 起飞；突然成功；脱去(衣服等)。
26．答案：C
解析：句意：随着时间的推移, 他的公司发展(develped) 成为一个价值数百万美元的企业。develped 与原文最后一段提到的 grwth 有照应关系。
27．答案：A
解析：句意：他的毅力(will pwer) 和努力得到了回报。willpwer 的近义词是 perseverance, 可从标题得知。
28．答案：D
解析：句意：大卫认识到, 艰难的环境不是障碍(radblck), 而是一种强大的动力, 可以激励我们取得伟大的成就。从构词法可 知, radblck为合成词, 意为“路障”,相当于“障碍, 阻碍物”,与后面提到的“推动力”(driving frce)形成对比。
29．答案：B
解析：句意同上。根据空前的 driving frce 的提示可知, 此空处应填 drive的近义词, 如 mtivate, encurage, spur, prpel, inspire 等 。
30．答案：A
解析：句意：大卫的经历(jurney) 告诉我们, 我们都有潜力把困难转化为成长和成功的机会。本题考查一词多义。jurney 旅行, 旅程；历程, 过程。答案的替换词可以是 experience 或 stry 等。
31．答案：D
解析：句意同上。通过分析全文可知, 我们都有潜力(ptential) 把困难转化为成长和成功的机会, 而这正是这篇文章作者的写作 目的所在。
32．答案：its；beginning；were carved；had becme；gegraphically；the；united；what/whatever；by；knwn
解析：①考查代词。尽管历史跌宕起伏, 中国古老文明一直延续至今。
②考查名词。
③考查时态和语态。它可以追溯到数千年前使用龙骨的时期—古代中国人在动物骨头和壳上面刻画符号。
④考查时态。by+过去时间, 主句用过去完成时。到商朝时, 这些符号已经演变成一套完善的书写体系。
⑤考查副词。在随后的年代里, 这一体系发展成了不同的形式, 这是由于当时中国人居住地域的分隔, 从而导致 不同的方言和汉字变体的产生。
⑥考查冠词。当朝代是独一无二、特别强调或与特定事件、地点或人物相关时, 通常需要加“the”。然而, 这在秦朝秦始皇统 治时期发生了变化。
⑦考查非谓语。秦始皇统一七大诸侯国后, 在这个统一的国家里, 汉字书写体系开始朝着一个方向发展。
⑧考查从句。此处考查“n matter+特殊疑问词”构成的复合结构引导让步状语从句, 意思是“今天, 不管住在哪 里, 也不管说何种方言, 中国人都仍能通过书写(文字)进行交流。”此空也可理解为是 whatever 引导的让步状语从句。
⑨考查从句。我们把定语从句的语序稍作调整, 可以完整地写成 China's present is cnnected with its past by the means。汉字也成为连接中国现在与过去的一个重要手段。
⑩考查非谓语。中国人对其书写体系推崇备至, 这体现在汉字发展为一种艺术形式—被称作书法。
