W: Well, after the phone call, I went back to get the others at the restaurant. I told them what Detective Sanderson had told me and they were all very excited. We rushed out of the restaurant and up to the room. When we got there, the door was open, which was strange because Kim had locked it when we left. We ran into the room and found a man there. He was going through my suitcase. When I tried to stop him he knocked me down. I hit my head against a chair when it fell. As a matter of fact, it still hurts. Ray and Mike chased him to the elevator, but he got away. The strangest part was what came next. We looked in the suitcase and found out it was Tony's. Tony has the same initials as I do, so that was why I thought it was my suitcase. When we looked inside, we found an envelope with microfilm in it. We held the microfilm up to the light and saw what looked like blueprints on it. We're going to take it to the library tomorrow and find out what's really on it. I think it's a plan for a new kind of rocket. We figured out that the man who was in the room looked a lot like the man who gave us the ride over to the hotel. I wonder who he is.

【点睛】浅谈强调句
1. 用It is／wasthat／who句型表示强调。
（1）陈述句的强调句型：It is/was+被强调部分（通常是主语、宾语或状语）+that/who（当强调主语且主语指人）+其它部分。 e.g. It was yesterday that he met Li Ping.
（2）一般疑问句的强调句型：同上，只是把is/was提到it前面。 e.g. Was it yesterday that he met Li Ping?
（3）特殊疑问句的强调句型：被强调部分（通常是疑问代词或疑问副词）+is/was+it+that/who+其它部分？e.g. When and where was it that you were born?
注：被强调的部分（通常是句子的主语、状语、宾语或宾语补足语）放在is／was的后面，如被强调的是人，则后面可用who，whom等代替。
2. notuntil句型的强调句：
句型为：It is/was not until+被强调部分+that+其它部分：
e.g. 普通句：He didn't go to bed until/till his wife came back.
强调句：It was not until his wife came back that he went to bed.
3. 强调谓语动词：用助动词do, does或did加动词原形来强调谓语动词。注意：此种强调只用do/does和did，没有别的形式；过去时态用did，后面的谓语动词用原形。如：Do come early. 务必早来。He did send you a letter last week. 昨天他确实寄给你一封信。

30.You may house their bodies but not their souls, for their souls live in the house of tomorrow, ______you can not visit, not even in your dreams.
A. when B. where C. which D. that
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查非限制性定语从句。句意：你可以庇护的是他们的身体，却不是他们的灵魂。因为他们的灵魂属于明天，属于你做梦也无法到达的明天。此处the house of tomorrow是先行词，指物，在后面的非限制性定语从句中作宾语，that不能引导非限制性定语从句，故选C。
【点睛】分析定语从句关键抓住两点：第一、找准先行词；第二、看先行词在定语从句中所作的成分。先行词往往为名词或代词，如本题中先行词为名词house，再分析先行词house在定语从句中所作的成分，将先行词house带到从句中可知，只能作宾语，另外，此处先行词指物，在后面的非限制性定语从句中作主语，that不能引导非限制性定语从句，故选C。
31.—Ted has never been so rude!
—He ______something he shouldn’t have, but I guess he didn’t mean that.
A. has said B. had said
C. said D. was saying
【答案】C

【详解】考查一般过去时。——Ted从来没有那么鲁莽过! ——他说了一些他本不应该说的话，但我认为他不是那个意思。由“he didn’t mean that ”可知，说话的动作发生在过去，用一般过去时。故选C项。

33.There is someone playing the guitar over there. Let's go and listen, shall we? Free entertainment, ________．
A. anyway B. though
C. therefore D. somehow

A
Mill 180 Park is truly a park for the 2lst century, designed to copy all of the great urban parks—Central Park in New York City, Hyde Park in London and Ueno Park in Tokyo. Through the use of computerized sound and some other modern systems, we’ve brought the outside in, surrounding our visitors with green space and a remarkable sense of the natural world.
We spent a lot of time trying to learn why these parks are so beloved, what makes them work so well for their sponsors, and how they provide a place of rest for so many.
A wake up call for the senses
These parks are beautiful. They provide much needed relief from the daily stress of city living in any particular moment. But with the good, every one of these parks suffer from the same shortcoming—they are not fit to live when the weather is bad. What this means is that our parks are only really available to us some of the time.
Change in the air
Enjoying Mill 180 Park is not weather dependent. We used modern building techniques and technology to create a park that can be enjoyed in every season, during every type of weather.
Our focus
While imagining the possibilities for Mill 180 Park, we focused our design process on five characteristics that were common in all of our favorite urban parks:
◆BEAUTY: Including natural and man-made qualities, delighting the senses of visitors.
◆ GREENERY: Bringing nature to the city, with a variety of plants and green spaces.
◆ MINGLING: Providing a place for people who wouldn’t normally come into contact to meet and share experiences.
◆ TRANQUILITY: Offering a place away from the noise, waste, and excitement of city life.
◆ PROGRAMMING: Serving as a site for artistic, cultural, and amusement events that bring the community together.
When you visit, you’ll be aware on an intellectual level that you are not in an expansive outdoor space, but your senses will tell you otherwise.
Opening time and price
All months of the year.
Admission is free from Jan .I to Nov.30.
56. Mill 180 Park was created _______.
A. with little time and effort B. with much time and effort C. with the help of foreign designers D. with the help of sponsors and visitors
57. Which of the following is true?
A. The park is the same in design as any one of the world.
B. You will never be able to enjoy the park when the weather is bad.
C. Visit to the park is free of charge.
D. The park is environment-friendly and pleasant.
【答案】56. B 57. D
【解析】
这是一篇应用文。文章介绍Mill 180 Park。Mill 180 Park是花了很多时间和精力创建的。这个公园环境宜人，令人愉悦。
【56题详解】
推理判断题。根据We spent a lot of time trying to learn why these parks are so beloved, what makes them work so well for their sponsors, and how they provide a place of rest for so many可知，我们花了很多时间，试图了解为什么这些公园如此受人喜爱，是什么让它们更好地服务于赞助商，以及它们如何为这么多人提供了一个休息的地方。所以Mill 180 Park的建造借鉴了很多公园的建造形式和特点，故判断出，它被建造时，花了很多时间和精力。故选B。

You’ve heard the old advice that skipping meals is a sure-fire way to ruin a weight loss plan, but a new study presented this week at the annual Obesity Society Meeting in New Orleans suggests that perhaps we've overlooked the benefits of selective fasting. According to the research, eating during a smaller window of time each day and skipping your evening meal could have a positive health effect.
The study concluded that overweight individuals who ate during the day and fasted during the evening reported fewer hunger swings and burned more fat at night, WebMD reported. However, although this diet plan results in more fat burned in the evenings, it did not seem to increase fat burning overall. Due to this, at this moment it’s still unclear as to how this eating schedule can affect general weight loss.
“At this point, we are not sure whether or not total fat burning is increased,” study lead author Courtney Peterson told Medical Daily in a recent email. “We will need to do a larger study to find out for certain whether or not time-restricted feeding improves fat burning.”
Still, although the results do not indicate a clear association between nighttime fasting and weight loss, they are still important for the world of nutrition. For example, Peterson told Medical Daily that she was surprised to find that participants did not report being hungrier than average, or have above-average swings in hunger levels, despite fasting daily for 18 hours.
“So we overturned the belief that fasting for longer period each day when the same number of total calories are eaten makes a person hungrier,”wrote Peterson.
While the effects of fasting and time-restricted feeding have been studied and proven to work in a rodent(贴齿动物)model，research on human subjects is still in its early stages. For this reason，Peterson explained that it is far too early to say，with factual evidence as backing，that time-restricted feeding will improve weight loss in humans. Still，Peterson explained that practicing this eating behavior does have obvious benefits，such as reducing overall food intake，and suggested that practicing time restricted eating a few times a week could be both practicable and healthy.
“It could be used for short-term goals or longer-term goals，"concluded Peterson." As far as we know，it is safe for adults，although pregnant women and children should not try it.”
58. The underlined word in Paragraph l may mean ________.
A. skip meals B. eat food in a hurry C. eat less D. be particular about food
59. What is the best title for the passage?
A. The benefits of fasting B. A sure-way weight loss plan
C. A seemingly practicable weight-loss plan D. The pros and cons of fasting
60. What is the author’s attitude toward the plan?
A. Critical. B. Disapproving. C. Enthusiastic. D. Objective.
【答案】58. A 59. C 60. D
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了“一个看似可行的减肥计划”。

【60题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“It could be used for short-term goals or longer-term goals，"concluded Peterson." As far as we know，it is safe for adults，although pregnant women and children should not try it.”（这可用于短期目标和长期目标,”彼得森总结说。“据我们所知，它是安全的对于成年人来说，但是孕妇和儿童不应该尝试。”）可知，作者对这个计划的观点是“客观的”。故选D。
C
When men and women take personality tests，some of the old Mars-Venus stereotypes(定式)keep reappearing. On average，women are more cooperative，kind，cautious and emotionally enthusiastic. Men tend to be more competitive，confident，rude and emotionally flat. Clear differences appear in early childhood and never disappear.
What's not clear is the origin of these differences. Evolutionary psychologists think that these are natural features from ancient hunters and gatherers. Another school of psychologists argues that both sexes' personalities have been shaped by traditional social roles，and that personality differences will shrink as women spend less time taking care of children and more time in jobs outside the home.
To test these hypotheses(假设)，a series of research teams have repeatedly analyzed personality tests taken by men and women in more than 60 countries around the world.For evolutionary psychologists，the bad news is that the size of the gender gap in personality varies among cultures.For social-role psychologists，the bad news is that the change is going in the wrong direction.It looks as if personality differences between men and women are smaller in traditional cultures like India's or Zimbabwe's than in the Netherlands or the United States.A husband and a stay-at-home wife in a patriarchal(男权的)Botswanan clan(部族)seem to be more alike than a working couple in Denmark or France.The more Venus and Mars have equal rights and similarjobs，the more their personalities sem to separate.
These findings are so unbelievable that some researchers have argued they must be due to cross-cultural problems with the personality tests. But according to new data from 40.000 men and women on six continents，David P. Schmitt and his colleagues conclude that the trends are real. Dr. Schmitt，a psychologist at Bradley University in I llinois and the director of the International Sexuality Description Project，suggests that as wealthy modern societies level(使平等)the barriers between women and men，some ancient internal differences are being developed.
The biggest changes recorded by the researchers involve the personalities of men, not women.
Men in traditional agricultural societies and poorer countries seem more cautious and anxious, less confident and less competitive than men in the most progressive and rich countries of Europe and North America.
To explain these differences, Dr. Schmitt and his partners from Austria and Estonia point to the hardships of life in poorer countries. They note that in some other species, environmental stress tends to extremely affect the larger sex. And, they say, there are examples of stress decreasing biological sex differences in humans.
61. According to personality tests, the differences between men and women begin to exist________.
A. ocesionally and temporarily B. randomly and forever
C. regularly and constantly D. early and permanently
62. What is stated in Paragraph 2 is to indicate________.
A. psychologists have no way to know the origin of the differences
B. experts fight against one another
C. the explanation for the differences is open to tests
D. women will solve the problem of the personality differences
63. Now researchers tend to believe that the differences between men and women________.
A. originate from ancient hunters and gatherers B. are shaped by traditional social roles they play
C. are affected by traditional cultures D. vary from one culture to another
64. What can be inferred about Dr. Schmitt?
A. He doesn't recognize the findings above.
B. He thinks social environment contributes to some internal differences.
C. He believes wealthy women and men are equal.
D. He has no examples to explain the differenees at all.
【答案】61. D 62. C 63. C 64. B
【解析】

【62题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段What's not clear is the origin of these differences. Evolutionary psychologists think that these are natural features from ancient hunters and gatherers. Another school of psychologists argues that both sexes' personalities have been shaped by traditional social roles，and that personality differences will shrink as women spend less time taking care of children and more time in jobs outside the home.(目前尚不清楚这些差异根源。进化心理学家认为这些是远古猎人和采集者的自然特征。另一学派的心理学家认为，男女的性格都是由传统的社会角色所塑造的，随着女性照顾孩子的时间减少，而更多的时间花在家庭以外的工作上，这种性格差异将会缩小。)可知，对这种差异的解释有待检验。故选C。
【63题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段It looks as if personality differences between men and women are smaller in traditional cultures like India's or Zimbabwe's than in the Netherlands or the United States可知，在印度或津巴布韦等传统文化中，男性和女性的个性差异似乎比荷兰或美国要小。所以现在研究人员倾向于认为，男性和女性之间的差异受到传统文化的影响。故选C。
【64题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段David P. Schmitt and his colleagues conclud.e that the trends are real. Dr. Schmitt，a psychologist at Bradley University in I llinois and the director of the International Sexuality Description Project，suggests that as wealthy modern societies level(使平等)the barriers between women and men，some ancient internal differences are being developed.(大卫David P. Schmitt和他的同事得出结论，这种趋势是真实存在的。施密特博士，一位心理学家表明随着富裕的现代社会消除了男女之间的障碍，一些古老的内部差异正在形成。)可知，Dr. Schmitt认为社会环境导致了一些内部差异。故选B。

Some jobs are so demanding that there is not a free moment to do something else than to recover and rest. Most physicians have great difficulty starting or even maintaining a hobby. But there are exceptions.
Take Menno Baars for instance. He works full time as a cardiologist(心脏病专家)in a hospital in Holland. "Full time" might still be an understatement-as a cardiologist he spends about 60 hours a week in the hospital. However，after a long day of work，he likes to come home and spend hours doing what is his great passion: painting.
How can he find the time and energy to live a life that few others can pursue?" "Actually it is quite simple. If you like what you do, you will find a way to do it. Don't get me wrong. I love cardiology, but it is not a very creative profession," says Baars."It is a specialty that is based on strict treatment guidelines, without much room for your own ideas and creativity. That is why painting as a hobby is so wonderful. There are no rules and I can do whatever I want."
Although there are no rules in painting, for Baars it is still some sort of a custom. The only thing that reminds the painter Baars of the cardiologist Baars is his white coat and his surgical gloves which he wears every time he is painting." I sometimes start at 10 at night and can continue working until 4:30 in the morning and still make it to work on time that same day," says Baars."That is the advantage of my training as a medical specialist. I get used to making crazy hours and long nights."
You would think that someone who is so driven by his passion for painting was already fascinated by art as a little kid." Not at all," says Baars unexpectedly." I never dreamed of becoming a painter. My parents expected me to finish college and pursue a professional career. I only realized my passion for painting after having completed medical school. Once I was attracted by a painting of Miro, but could not afford it. So I decided to paint myself. I just started painting lines, but within minutes a beautiful dove was on the canvas. I suddenly realized this is what I want to do."
A successful doctor. A successful painter. It seems unfair to have the two identities in one person. What do his fellow cardiologists think of his passion for painting？“They accept it and actually appreciate it as well. You see，if I was a cardiologist who provided suboptimal(未达最佳标准的)care for his patients，they would not agree. My chairman told me a few years ago in the hospital that he would rather see me reading cardiology books at night than see me holding a paint brush.”
“I used to pack a lot of ideas into each painting-different shapes，colors and so on. I still have tons of ideas，which is not the problem. But I do strive for more simplicity. To depict a simple idea clearly is my goal. Also my technique has improved over time. When I started out，the paint would sometimes flake(剥落)if the basis was not good，but that doesn't happen anymore these days.”
Menno Baars never has any doubts when he is painting. However，he does like the response he gets from the most important woman in his life. His wife is the first to see each newly-finished painting." Sometimes when I finish a new painting in the middle of the night, I wake her up to see if she likes it. She doesn't always like to be woken up, but she always gives an honest answer.
Even if she doesn't like it, for me the painting is finished. I won't change it afterwards. It is more of the feeling that once my wife has seen it, it is ready to be presented to the rest of the world."
65. Why does Menno Baars like painting?
A. Because he dislikes rules very much.
B. Because he feels bored with his work.
C. Because he wants to pursue a career as a painter.
D. Because he finds painting a creative process.
66. Baars wears his working uniform while painting to_______.
A. help him work late into the night B. make himself feel easy and comfortable
C. remember his identity as cardiologist D. remind himself to work on time next morning
67. Baars developed the hobby of painting _______.
A. when he completed a beautiful painting B. when he was a very young child
C. to live up to his parents' expectations D. to spend his leisure time at home
68. What is Baars' colleagues' attitude towards him?
A. They can't hide their envy at his success.
B. They don't expect too much of his paintings.
C. They think he should put his job as a doctor first.
D. They don't think he should spend time painting.
69. Baars is trying to make his paintings_______.
A. full of different colors B. clearly convey a simple idea C. special with creative ideas
D. improve with modern techniques
70. If Menno Baars gets a negative response from his wife he_______.
A. will probably feel very disappointed B. will still keep the painting and have it presented
C. will accept her advice and change the painting D. will never ask for her opinion any more
【答案】65. D 66. C 67. A 68. C 69. B 70. B
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇记叙文。有些工作要求如此之高，以至于除了恢复和休息，没有空闲时间做别的事情。大多数医生很难开始甚至保持一种爱好。但也有例外。文章讲述的是心脏专家Baars把绘画当作业余爱好的故事。
【65题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中I love cardiology, but it is not a very creative profession," says Baars."It is a specialty that is based on strict treatment guidelines, without much room for your own ideas and creativity.

There are no rules and I can do whatever I want."（我喜欢心脏病学，但它不是一个非常有创造力的专业，”Baars说。这是一个基于严格治疗指南的专业，没有太多的空间留给你自己的想法和创造力。这就是为什么绘画作为一种爱好是如此美妙。没有规则，我想做什么就做什么。）可知，Menno Baars之所以喜欢绘画是因为他发现绘画是一个创造性的过程。故选D。
【66题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中The only thing that reminds the painter Baars of the cardiologist Baars is his white coat and his surgical gloves which he wears every time he is painting.（唯一能让画家Baars想起心脏病专家Baars的是他的白色外套和他每次作画时戴的手术手套。）可知，Baars在画画时穿着工作服，以提醒他作为心脏病专家的身份。故选C。

My chairman told me a few years ago in the hospital that he would rather see me reading cardiology books at night than see me holding a paint brush.”（他们接受它，实际上也欣赏它。你看，如果我是心脏病专家，为病人提供未达标准的护理，他们不会同意的。几年前，我的董事长在医院告诉我，他宁愿看到我晚上读心脏病学的书，也不愿看到我拿着画笔。）可知，Baars的同事对他的态度是“他们认为他应该把医生的工作放在首位。”故选C。
【69题详解】
细节理解题。根据第七段中But I do strive for more simplicity. To depict a simple idea clearly is my goal.（但我确实力求更简单。清晰地描述一个简单的想法是我的目标。）可知，Baars试图使他的画清楚地传达一个简单的想法。故选B。

Pretending you're someone else can make you creative
One great irony(讽刺) about our collective fascination with creativity is that we tend to frame it in uncreative ways. That is to say, most of us marry creativity to our concept of self: We are either “creative” people or we aren't，without much of a middle ground.
Pillay, a tech businessman and Harvard professor has spent a good part of his career destroying these ideas. Pillay believes that the key to unlocking your creative potential is to dismiss the conventional advice that urges you to “believe in yourself”. In fact, you should do the exact opposite: believe you are someone else.
In a recent column for Harvard Business Review, Pillay pointed to a 2016 study showing the impact of stereotypes(刻板印象)on one's behavior. The authors, education psychologists Denis Dumas and Kevin Dunbar, divided their collegestudent subjects into three categories, instructing the members of one group to think of themselves as “eccentric(古怪的) poets” and the members of another to imagine they were “rigid librarians”(people in the third category, the control group, were left alone for this part). The researchers then presented participants with 10 ordinary objects，including a fork, a carrot, and a pair of pants, and asked them to come up with as many different uses as possible for each one. Those who were asked to imagine themselves as “eccentric poets” came up with the widest range of ideas for the objects, while those in the “rigid librarian” group had the fewest. Meanwhile, the researchers found only small differences in students' creativity levels across academic majors—in fact, the physics majors inhabiting(寄生) the personas(伪装的外表) of “eccentric poets” came up with more ideas than the art majors did.
These results, write Dumas and Dunbar, suggest that creativity is not an individual quality, but a “malleable(可塑的) product of context and perspective.” Everyone can be creative, as long as they feel like creative people.
Pillay's work takes this a step further: He argues that identifying yourself with creativity is less powerful than the creative act of imagining you're somebody else. This exercise, which he calls “psychological halloweenism”， refers to the conscious action of inhabiting another persona—an inner costuming of the self. It works because it is an act of “conscious unfocus”， a way of positively stimulating the default mode(默认模式) network, a collection of brain regions that spring into action when you're not focused on a specific task or thought.
Most of us spend too much time worrying about two things: How successful/unsuccessful we are, and how little we're focusing on the task at hand. The former feeds the latter—an unfocused person is an unsuccessful one, we believe. Thus, we force ourselves into quiet areas, buy noisecanceling headphones, and hate ourselves for taking breaks.
What makes Pillay's argument stand out is its healthy, forgiving realism: According to him, most people spend nearly half of their days in a state of “unfocus”. This doesn't make us lazy people—it makes us human. The idea behind psychological halloweenism is: What if we stopped judging ourselves for our mental down time, and instead started using it? Putting this new idea on daydreaming means addressing two problems at once: You're making yourself more creative, and you're giving yourself permission to do something you'd otherwise feel guilty about. Imagining yourself in a new situation, or an entirely new identity, never felt so productive.

【71题详解】
同义转换。根据第一段第一句One great irony(讽刺) about our collective fascination with creativity is that we tend to frame it in uncreative ways.可知，我们大多数人对自己要么有创造力要么没有创造力的想法印象深刻：两者之间不存在中间地带。故答案为fascinated/impressed。
【72题详解】
同义转换。根据第二段中Pillay believes that the key to unlocking your creative potential is to dismiss the conventional advice that urges you to “believe in yourself”. In fact, you should do the exact opposite: believe you are someone else.可知，与普遍的看法相反，皮莱的建议是，你应该相信你是别人。故答案为Contrary。
【73题详解】
同义转换。根据第三段中instructing the members of one group to think of themselves as “eccentric(古怪的) poets” and the members of another to imagine they were “rigid librarians”(people in the third category, the control group, were left alone for this part).可知，其中一组被要求认为自己是“古怪的诗人”，另一组是“刻板的图书管理员”，第三组作为对照组。故答案为worked/acted/served/functioned。
【74题详解】
句意理解。根据第三段中The researchers then presented participants with 10 ordinary objects，including a fork, a carrot, and a pair of pants, and asked them to come up with as many different uses as possible for each one.可知，前两组被要求为每个给定对象想出尽可能多的不同用途。故答案为given。
【75题详解】
句意理解。根据第三段中Meanwhile, the researchers found only small differences in students' creativity levels across academic majors—in fact, the physics majors inhabiting(寄生) the personas(伪装的外表) of “eccentric poets” came up with more ideas than the art majors did.可知，学生的创造力水平并不总是与专业类型成正比。故答案为creativity。
【76题详解】
原词复现。根据第四段These results, write Dumas and Dunbar, suggest that creativity is not an individual quality, but a “malleable(可塑的) product of context and perspective.”可知，因此，创造力可能是环境和视角的产物，而不是个人的东西。故答案为individual/personal。
【77题详解】
词义转换。根据第五段中This exercise, which he calls “psychological halloweenism”， refers to the conscious action of inhabiting another persona—an inner costuming of the self. It works because it is an act of “conscious unfocus”， a way of positively stimulating the default mode(默认模式) network.可知，“psychological halloweenism”的实施是指通过积极刺激默认模式网络，有意识地成为他人的行为。故答案为positively。
【78题详解】
句意理解。根据最后一段中Pillay's work takes this a step further: He argues that identifying yourself with creativity is less powerful than the creative act of imagining you're somebody else. .可知，Pillay坚决支持把你想象成别人的观点，并建议我们不要担心自己有多成功或不成功。故答案为subscribes。
【79题详解】

【答案】As is vividly shown in the pictures, the computer is releasing various information, facts and rumors included, and a pair of scissors is firmly cutting the long tongue of the online rumors.
What the pictures convey to us is clear. With too much information given out online every day, it’s hard for people to distinguish between the true and false. Once false information gets released, it will cause great harm and losses. What’s worse, online rumors are so powerful that they have brought about negative influences on the social order and people’s daily lives.
From my perspective, prevention is better than treatment. To wrestle with the tough situation, the authorities are expected to make laws to regulate the release of online information and strengthen supervision to stop online rumours from spreading. Meanwhile, social media as well as individuals are supposed to obey rules and regulations. Only with joint efforts can we create a civilized and harmonious society.

We rushed out of the restaurant and up to the room. When we got there, the door was open, which was strange because Kim had locked it when we left. We ran into the room and found a man there. He was going through my suitcase. When I tried to stop him he knocked me down. I hit my head against a chair when it fell. As a matter of fact, it still hurts. Ray and Mike chased him to the elevator, but he got away. The strangest part was what came next. We looked in the suitcase and found out it was Tony's. Tony has the same initials as I do, so that was why I thought it was my suitcase. When we looked inside, we found an envelope with microfilm in it. We held the microfilm up to the light and saw what looked like blueprints on it. We're going to take it to the library tomorrow and find out what's really on it. I think it's a plan for a new kind of rocket. We figured out that the man who was in the room looked a lot like the man who gave us the ride over to the hotel. I wonder who he is.

【点睛】浅谈强调句
1. 用It is／wasthat／who句型表示强调。
（1）陈述句的强调句型：It is/was+被强调部分（通常是主语、宾语或状语）+that/who（当强调主语且主语指人）+其它部分。 e.g. It was yesterday that he met Li Ping.
（2）一般疑问句的强调句型：同上，只是把is/was提到it前面。 e.g. Was it yesterday that he met Li Ping?
（3）特殊疑问句的强调句型：被强调部分（通常是疑问代词或疑问副词）+is/was+it+that/who+其它部分？e.g. When and where was it that you were born?
注：被强调的部分（通常是句子的主语、状语、宾语或宾语补足语）放在is／was的后面，如被强调的是人，则后面可用who，whom等代替。
2. notuntil句型的强调句：
句型为：It is/was not until+被强调部分+that+其它部分：
e.g. 普通句：He didn't go to bed until/till his wife came back.
强调句：It was not until his wife came back that he went to bed.
3. 强调谓语动词：用助动词do, does或did加动词原形来强调谓语动词。注意：此种强调只用do/does和did，没有别的形式；过去时态用did，后面的谓语动词用原形。如：Do come early. 务必早来。He did send you a letter last week. 昨天他确实寄给你一封信。

【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查非限制性定语从句。句意：你可以庇护的是他们的身体，却不是他们的灵魂。因为他们的灵魂属于明天，属于你做梦也无法到达的明天。此处the house of tomorrow是先行词，指物，在后面的非限制性定语从句中作宾语，that不能引导非限制性定语从句，故选C。
【点睛】分析定语从句关键抓住两点：第一、找准先行词；第二、看先行词在定语从句中所作的成分。先行词往往为名词或代词，如本题中先行词为名词house，再分析先行词house在定语从句中所作的成分，将先行词house带到从句中可知，只能作宾语，另外，此处先行词指物，在后面的非限制性定语从句中作主语，that不能引导非限制性定语从句，故选C。
31.—Ted has never been so rude!

33.There is someone playing the guitar over there. Let's go and listen, shall we? Free entertainment, ________．
A. anyway B. though
C. therefore D. somehow

A
Mill 180 Park is truly a park for the 2lst century, designed to copy all of the great urban parks—Central Park in New York City, Hyde Park in London and Ueno Park in Tokyo. Through the use of computerized sound and some other modern systems, we’ve brought the outside in, surrounding our visitors with green space and a remarkable sense of the natural world.
We spent a lot of time trying to learn why these parks are so beloved, what makes them work so well for their sponsors, and how they provide a place of rest for so many.
A wake up call for the senses
These parks are beautiful. They provide much needed relief from the daily stress of city living in any particular moment. But with the good, every one of these parks suffer from the same shortcoming—they are not fit to live when the weather is bad. What this means is that our parks are only really available to us some of the time.
Change in the air
Enjoying Mill 180 Park is not weather dependent. We used modern building techniques and technology to create a park that can be enjoyed in every season, during every type of weather.
Our focus
While imagining the possibilities for Mill 180 Park, we focused our design process on five characteristics that were common in all of our favorite urban parks:
◆BEAUTY: Including natural and man-made qualities, delighting the senses of visitors.
◆ GREENERY: Bringing nature to the city, with a variety of plants and green spaces.
◆ MINGLING: Providing a place for people who wouldn’t normally come into contact to meet and share experiences.
◆ TRANQUILITY: Offering a place away from the noise, waste, and excitement of city life.
◆ PROGRAMMING: Serving as a site for artistic, cultural, and amusement events that bring the community together.
When you visit, you’ll be aware on an intellectual level that you are not in an expansive outdoor space, but your senses will tell you otherwise.
Opening time and price
All months of the year.
Admission is free from Jan .I to Nov.30.
56. Mill 180 Park was created _______.
A. with little time and effort B. with much time and effort C. with the help of foreign designers D. with the help of sponsors and visitors
57. Which of the following is true?
A. The park is the same in design as any one of the world.
B. You will never be able to enjoy the park when the weather is bad.
C. Visit to the park is free of charge.
D. The park is environment-friendly and pleasant.
【答案】56. B 57. D
【解析】
这是一篇应用文。文章介绍Mill 180 Park。Mill 180 Park是花了很多时间和精力创建的。这个公园环境宜人，令人愉悦。
【56题详解】
推理判断题。根据We spent a lot of time trying to learn why these parks are so beloved, what makes them work so well for their sponsors, and how they provide a place of rest for so many可知，我们花了很多时间，试图了解为什么这些公园如此受人喜爱，是什么让它们更好地服务于赞助商，以及它们如何为这么多人提供了一个休息的地方。所以Mill 180 Park的建造借鉴了很多公园的建造形式和特点，故判断出，它被建造时，花了很多时间和精力。故选B。
【57题详解】
细节理解题。根据Our focus中◆BEAUTY: Including natural and man-made qualities, delighting the senses of visitors.◆ GREENERY: Bringing nature to the city, with a variety of plants and green spaces.

B
You’ve heard the old advice that skipping meals is a sure-fire way to ruin a weight loss plan, but a new study presented this week at the annual Obesity Society Meeting in New Orleans suggests that perhaps we've overlooked the benefits of selective fasting. According to the research, eating during a smaller window of time each day and skipping your evening meal could have a positive health effect.
The study concluded that overweight individuals who ate during the day and fasted during the evening reported fewer hunger swings and burned more fat at night, WebMD reported. However, although this diet plan results in more fat burned in the evenings, it did not seem to increase fat burning overall. Due to this, at this moment it’s still unclear as to how this eating schedule can affect general weight loss.
“At this point, we are not sure whether or not total fat burning is increased,” study lead author Courtney Peterson told Medical Daily in a recent email. “We will need to do a larger study to find out for certain whether or not time-restricted feeding improves fat burning.”
Still, although the results do not indicate a clear association between nighttime fasting and weight loss, they are still important for the world of nutrition. For example, Peterson told Medical Daily that she was surprised to find that participants did not report being hungrier than average, or have above-average swings in hunger levels, despite fasting daily for 18 hours.
“So we overturned the belief that fasting for longer period each day when the same number of total calories are eaten makes a person hungrier,”wrote Peterson.
While the effects of fasting and time-restricted feeding have been studied and proven to work in a rodent(贴齿动物)model，research on human subjects is still in its early stages. For this reason，Peterson explained that it is far too early to say，with factual evidence as backing，that time-restricted feeding will improve weight loss in humans. Still，Peterson explained that practicing this eating behavior does have obvious benefits，such as reducing overall food intake，and suggested that practicing time restricted eating a few times a week could be both practicable and healthy.
“It could be used for short-term goals or longer-term goals，"concluded Peterson." As far as we know，it is safe for adults，although pregnant women and children should not try it.”
58. The underlined word in Paragraph l may mean ________.
A. skip meals B. eat food in a hurry C. eat less D. be particular about food
59. What is the best title for the passage?
A. The benefits of fasting B. A sure-way weight loss plan
C. A seemingly practicable weight-loss plan D. The pros and cons of fasting
60. What is the author’s attitude toward the plan?
A. Critical. B. Disapproving. C. Enthusiastic. D. Objective.
【答案】58. A 59. C 60. D
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了“一个看似可行的减肥计划”。

C
When men and women take personality tests，some of the old Mars-Venus stereotypes(定式)keep reappearing. On average，women are more cooperative，kind，cautious and emotionally enthusiastic. Men tend to be more competitive，confident，rude and emotionally flat. Clear differences appear in early childhood and never disappear.
What's not clear is the origin of these differences. Evolutionary psychologists think that these are natural features from ancient hunters and gatherers. Another school of psychologists argues that both sexes' personalities have been shaped by traditional social roles，and that personality differences will shrink as women spend less time taking care of children and more time in jobs outside the home.
To test these hypotheses(假设)，a series of research teams have repeatedly analyzed personality tests taken by men and women in more than 60 countries around the world.For evolutionary psychologists，the bad news is that the size of the gender gap in personality varies among cultures.For social-role psychologists，the bad news is that the change is going in the wrong direction.It looks as if personality differences between men and women are smaller in traditional cultures like India's or Zimbabwe's than in the Netherlands or the United States.A husband and a stay-at-home wife in a patriarchal(男权的)Botswanan clan(部族)seem to be more alike than a working couple in Denmark or France.The more Venus and Mars have equal rights and similarjobs，the more their personalities sem to separate.
These findings are so unbelievable that some researchers have argued they must be due to cross-cultural problems with the personality tests. But according to new data from 40.000 men and women on six continents，David P. Schmitt and his colleagues conclude that the trends are real. Dr. Schmitt，a psychologist at Bradley University in I llinois and the director of the International Sexuality Description Project，suggests that as wealthy modern societies level(使平等)the barriers between women and men，some ancient internal differences are being developed.
The biggest changes recorded by the researchers involve the personalities of men, not women.
Men in traditional agricultural societies and poorer countries seem more cautious and anxious, less confident and less competitive than men in the most progressive and rich countries of Europe and North America.
To explain these differences, Dr. Schmitt and his partners from Austria and Estonia point to the hardships of life in poorer countries. They note that in some other species, environmental stress tends to extremely affect the larger sex. And, they say, there are examples of stress decreasing biological sex differences in humans.
61. According to personality tests, the differences between men and women begin to exist________.
A. ocesionally and temporarily B. randomly and forever
C. regularly and constantly D. early and permanently
62. What is stated in Paragraph 2 is to indicate________.
A. psychologists have no way to know the origin of the differences
B. experts fight against one another
C. the explanation for the differences is open to tests
D. women will solve the problem of the personality differences
63. Now researchers tend to believe that the differences between men and women________.
A. originate from ancient hunters and gatherers B. are shaped by traditional social roles they play
C. are affected by traditional cultures D. vary from one culture to another
64. What can be inferred about Dr. Schmitt?
A. He doesn't recognize the findings above.
B. He thinks social environment contributes to some internal differences.
C. He believes wealthy women and men are equal.
D. He has no examples to explain the differenees at all.
【答案】61. D 62. C 63. C 64. B
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。文章讲述的是男性和女性人格测试的研究结果及分析。
【61题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句Clear differences appear in early childhood and never disappear.（明显的差异出现在儿童早期，而且从未消失。）可知，根据性格测试，男性和女性之间的差异很早就开始存在并且是永久的。故选D。
【62题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段What's not clear is the origin of these differences. Evolutionary psychologists think that these are natural features from ancient hunters and gatherers. Another school of psychologists argues that both sexes' personalities have been shaped by traditional social roles，and that personality differences will shrink as women spend less time taking care of children and more time in jobs outside the home.(目前尚不清楚这些差异根源。进化心理学家认为这些是远古猎人和采集者的自然特征。另一学派的心理学家认为，男女的性格都是由传统的社会角色所塑造的，随着女性照顾孩子的时间减少，而更多的时间花在家庭以外的工作上，这种性格差异将会缩小。)可知，对这种差异的解释有待检验。故选C。
【63题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段It looks as if personality differences between men and women are smaller in traditional cultures like India's or Zimbabwe's than in the Netherlands or the United States可知，在印度或津巴布韦等传统文化中，男性和女性的个性差异似乎比荷兰或美国要小。所以现在研究人员倾向于认为，男性和女性之间的差异受到传统文化的影响。故选C。
【64题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段David P. Schmitt and his colleagues conclud.e that the trends are real. Dr. Schmitt，a psychologist at Bradley University in I llinois and the director of the International Sexuality Description Project，suggests that as wealthy modern societies level(使平等)the barriers between women and men，some ancient internal differences are being developed.(大卫David P. Schmitt和他的同事得出结论，这种趋势是真实存在的。施密特博士，一位心理学家表明随着富裕的现代社会消除了男女之间的障碍，一些古老的内部差异正在形成。)可知，Dr. Schmitt认为社会环境导致了一些内部差异。故选B。

Some jobs are so demanding that there is not a free moment to do something else than to recover and rest. Most physicians have great difficulty starting or even maintaining a hobby. But there are exceptions.
Take Menno Baars for instance. He works full time as a cardiologist(心脏病专家)in a hospital in Holland. "Full time" might still be an understatement-as a cardiologist he spends about 60 hours a week in the hospital. However，after a long day of work，he likes to come home and spend hours doing what is his great passion: painting.
How can he find the time and energy to live a life that few others can pursue?" "Actually it is quite simple. If you like what you do, you will find a way to do it. Don't get me wrong. I love cardiology, but it is not a very creative profession," says Baars."It is a specialty that is based on strict treatment guidelines, without much room for your own ideas and creativity. That is why painting as a hobby is so wonderful. There are no rules and I can do whatever I want."
Although there are no rules in painting, for Baars it is still some sort of a custom. The only thing that reminds the painter Baars of the cardiologist Baars is his white coat and his surgical gloves which he wears every time he is painting." I sometimes start at 10 at night and can continue working until 4:30 in the morning and still make it to work on time that same day," says Baars."That is the advantage of my training as a medical specialist. I get used to making crazy hours and long nights."
You would think that someone who is so driven by his passion for painting was already fascinated by art as a little kid." Not at all," says Baars unexpectedly." I never dreamed of becoming a painter. My parents expected me to finish college and pursue a professional career. I only realized my passion for painting after having completed medical school. Once I was attracted by a painting of Miro, but could not afford it. So I decided to paint myself. I just started painting lines, but within minutes a beautiful dove was on the canvas. I suddenly realized this is what I want to do."
A successful doctor. A successful painter. It seems unfair to have the two identities in one person. What do his fellow cardiologists think of his passion for painting？“They accept it and actually appreciate it as well. You see，if I was a cardiologist who provided suboptimal(未达最佳标准的)care for his patients，they would not agree. My chairman told me a few years ago in the hospital that he would rather see me reading cardiology books at night than see me holding a paint brush.”
“I used to pack a lot of ideas into each painting-different shapes，colors and so on. I still have tons of ideas，which is not the problem. But I do strive for more simplicity. To depict a simple idea clearly is my goal. Also my technique has improved over time. When I started out，the paint would sometimes flake(剥落)if the basis was not good，but that doesn't happen anymore these days.”
Menno Baars never has any doubts when he is painting. However，he does like the response he gets from the most important woman in his life. His wife is the first to see each newly-finished painting." Sometimes when I finish a new painting in the middle of the night, I wake her up to see if she likes it. She doesn't always like to be woken up, but she always gives an honest answer.
Even if she doesn't like it, for me the painting is finished. I won't change it afterwards. It is more of the feeling that once my wife has seen it, it is ready to be presented to the rest of the world."
65. Why does Menno Baars like painting?
A. Because he dislikes rules very much.
B. Because he feels bored with his work.
C. Because he wants to pursue a career as a painter.
D. Because he finds painting a creative process.
66. Baars wears his working uniform while painting to_______.
A. help him work late into the night B. make himself feel easy and comfortable
C. remember his identity as cardiologist D. remind himself to work on time next morning
67. Baars developed the hobby of painting _______.
A. when he completed a beautiful painting B. when he was a very young child
C. to live up to his parents' expectations D. to spend his leisure time at home
68. What is Baars' colleagues' attitude towards him?
A. They can't hide their envy at his success.
B. They don't expect too much of his paintings.
C. They think he should put his job as a doctor first.
D. They don't think he should spend time painting.
69. Baars is trying to make his paintings_______.
A. full of different colors B. clearly convey a simple idea C. special with creative ideas
D. improve with modern techniques
70. If Menno Baars gets a negative response from his wife he_______.
A. will probably feel very disappointed B. will still keep the painting and have it presented
C. will accept her advice and change the painting D. will never ask for her opinion any more
【答案】65. D 66. C 67. A 68. C 69. B 70. B
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇记叙文。有些工作要求如此之高，以至于除了恢复和休息，没有空闲时间做别的事情。大多数医生很难开始甚至保持一种爱好。但也有例外。文章讲述的是心脏专家Baars把绘画当作业余爱好的故事。
【65题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中I love cardiology, but it is not a very creative profession," says Baars."It is a specialty that is based on strict treatment guidelines, without much room for your own ideas and creativity. That is why painting as a hobby is so wonderful. There are no rules and I can do whatever I want."（我喜欢心脏病学，但它不是一个非常有创造力的专业，”Baars说。这是一个基于严格治疗指南的专业，没有太多的空间留给你自己的想法和创造力。这就是为什么绘画作为一种爱好是如此美妙。没有规则，我想做什么就做什么。）可知，Menno Baars之所以喜欢绘画是因为他发现绘画是一个创造性的过程。故选D。
【66题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中The only thing that reminds the painter Baars of the cardiologist Baars is his white coat and his surgical gloves which he wears every time he is painting.（唯一能让画家Baars想起心脏病专家Baars的是他的白色外套和他每次作画时戴的手术手套。）可知，Baars在画画时穿着工作服，以提醒他作为心脏病专家的身份。故选C。
【67题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中Once I was attracted by a painting of Miro, but could not afford it. So I decided to paint myself. I just started painting lines, but within minutes a beautiful dove was on the canvas.

Pretending you're someone else can make you creative
One great irony(讽刺) about our collective fascination with creativity is that we tend to frame it in uncreative ways. That is to say, most of us marry creativity to our concept of self: We are either “creative” people or we aren't，without much of a middle ground.
Pillay, a tech businessman and Harvard professor has spent a good part of his career destroying these ideas. Pillay believes that the key to unlocking your creative potential is to dismiss the conventional advice that urges you to “believe in yourself”. In fact, you should do the exact opposite: believe you are someone else.
In a recent column for Harvard Business Review, Pillay pointed to a 2016 study showing the impact of stereotypes(刻板印象)on one's behavior. The authors, education psychologists Denis Dumas and Kevin Dunbar, divided their collegestudent subjects into three categories, instructing the members of one group to think of themselves as “eccentric(古怪的) poets” and the members of another to imagine they were “rigid librarians”(people in the third category, the control group, were left alone for this part). The researchers then presented participants with 10 ordinary objects，including a fork, a carrot, and a pair of pants, and asked them to come up with as many different uses as possible for each one. Those who were asked to imagine themselves as “eccentric poets” came up with the widest range of ideas for the objects, while those in the “rigid librarian” group had the fewest. Meanwhile, the researchers found only small differences in students' creativity levels across academic majors—in fact, the physics majors inhabiting(寄生) the personas(伪装的外表) of “eccentric poets” came up with more ideas than the art majors did.
These results, write Dumas and Dunbar, suggest that creativity is not an individual quality, but a “malleable(可塑的) product of context and perspective.” Everyone can be creative, as long as they feel like creative people.
Pillay's work takes this a step further: He argues that identifying yourself with creativity is less powerful than the creative act of imagining you're somebody else. This exercise, which he calls “psychological halloweenism”， refers to the conscious action of inhabiting another persona—an inner costuming of the self. It works because it is an act of “conscious unfocus”， a way of positively stimulating the default mode(默认模式) network, a collection of brain regions that spring into action when you're not focused on a specific task or thought.
Most of us spend too much time worrying about two things: How successful/unsuccessful we are, and how little we're focusing on the task at hand. The former feeds the latter—an unfocused person is an unsuccessful one, we believe. Thus, we force ourselves into quiet areas, buy noisecanceling headphones, and hate ourselves for taking breaks.
What makes Pillay's argument stand out is its healthy, forgiving realism: According to him, most people spend nearly half of their days in a state of “unfocus”. This doesn't make us lazy people—it makes us human. The idea behind psychological halloweenism is: What if we stopped judging ourselves for our mental down time, and instead started using it? Putting this new idea on daydreaming means addressing two problems at once: You're making yourself more creative, and you're giving yourself permission to do something you'd otherwise feel guilty about. Imagining yourself in a new situation, or an entirely new identity, never felt so productive.

【答案】As is vividly shown in the pictures, the computer is releasing various information, facts and rumors included, and a pair of scissors is firmly cutting the long tongue of the online rumors.
What the pictures convey to us is clear. With too much information given out online every day, it’s hard for people to distinguish between the true and false. Once false information gets released, it will cause great harm and losses. What’s worse, online rumors are so powerful that they have brought about negative influences on the social order and people’s daily lives.
From my perspective, prevention is better than treatment. To wrestle with the tough situation, the authorities are expected to make laws to regulate the release of online information and strengthen supervision to stop online rumours from spreading. Meanwhile, social media as well as individuals are supposed to obey rules and regulations. Only with joint efforts can we create a civilized and harmonious society.
