My friend Julie and I are keen on creating a beautiful green town.
Gardening Course
Every September, our city has a special festival. Crowds of happy people go to the park. That’s because the gardening competition takes place there.
For Julie and me, it was a pity that we couldn’t take part in the competition, for that was also the first day of our high school. We buried ourselves in choosing courses. We wanted to learn all about plants, gardening and farming. Finally, a course called Agriculture and Wildlife came into our sight. We thought it would help us succeed as gardeners.
Project presentation
After a year’s study, I decided to give a presentation to my class about my project—the green farm.
“Good morning!” I said, “During my studies, I’ve learned a lot about city farming. Now, I want to do something with what I’ve learned.”
I showed them a small plastic model. “This is the high street of our town. This is an old, nine-floor car park. No one has used it for the last two years and it’s now for sale.”
“I’ve designed a city farm using the car park building. There will be eight floors to farm fruit and vegetables. This design can help us collect rainwater to wet the soil. And we can also use energy from the sun to power the special growing lights.”
“I will hire the space out to local people and they will sell everything good enough for the environment in local shops. Also, the ninth floor will be for those who want to grow their own plants.”
My audience looked interested and my project got the highest marks in my class.
________
Later, Julie helped me search the town for the perfect place for gardening—somewhere that was not the best neighbourhood, but a poor one. One where the road was full of holes and the pavement (人行道) was all broken came into our eyes. At last, we made it.
In the neighbourhood, we posted letters through people’s doors with gardening instructions. More and more people cared about that and began to plant vegetable gardens.
Then in the same neighbourhood, we put grass over those broken old pavements for the kids to play on. Finally, we put up a sign that said, “Have fun here.”
When we finished, we were both covered in soil and completely exhausted. But Julie put an arm around my shoulders and smiled. “Not bad!” she said. “We can do more to make our town greener!”

Two scientists called Stanley Schachter and Jerome Singer developed the two-factor theory of emotion (情绪) in 1962. They said that emotions are formed in two parts. First, the body has a physical response to a threat (威胁) and then the mind considers the physical response as an emotion, which is then felt by the person. For example, imagine you are walking through a forest and you see a bear. Seeing it would probably start a physical response, such as your heart beating very fast and sweat breaking out. Your mind then decides that this is fear, which you feel as an emotion.
A new study has suggested that the key to reducing feelings of anger is not letting out but doing calming activities such as yoga or meditation.
The study was published by Sophie Kjaervik and Brad Bushman from Ohio State University. They wanted to explore the popular theory that venting anger is a good way of reducing it. Examples of venting anger include shouting or hitting something like boxing sandbags, so that you let go of the emotion and therefore don’t feel it any more. The pair looked at 154 other studies on anger. These involved 10,189 people, and included a variety of ages and backgrounds. In their study, Kjaervik and Bushman define anger as “an emotional response to a real or imagined threat”. They used a theory of emotion that says emotions are partly felt in your body and partly in your mind.
The scientists looked at the other studies to see how different activities influenced anger. They found that activities such as running or boxing—which are often thought to be good for dealing with anger—weren’t very good at reducing it. In fact, some of these activities actually made it worse because they increased physical responses in the body that are linked to feeling angry. For example, they made people’s hearts beat faster. However, activities that decreased physical responses in the body did help to reduce feelings of anger. These included activities that slow the heart rate, such as deep breathing, meditation and yoga. Bushman says activities that increase physical responses may be good for heart health but are “definitely not the best way to reduce anger”.
The team found jogging was most likely to increase anger. However, some heart-rate increasing activities—like ball games and team sports—could reduce anger. They think this shows that fun or playful activities help to reduce negative feelings.
10．According to Schachter and Singer’s theory, what happens first if you see a snake and feel afraid
A．You get the feeling of fear. B．You get the feeling of calm.
C．Your heart beats fast. D．Your heart beats slowly.
11．What does the underlined word “venting” probably mean in paragraph 3
A．Expressing. B．Hiding. C．Avoiding. D．Imagining.
12．What is the main finding of the new study
A．A new method of venting anger. B．A new method of increasing anger.
C．Good activities to vent anger. D．Good activities to reduce anger.
13．What can we learn about calming activities
A．They can reduce feelings of anger. B．They can increase the heart rate.
C．They are good for venting anger. D．They are good for heart health.

Though oceans cover about 71% of the earth’s surface, there’s still a lot we don’t know about them. Only about 20% of the seafloor has been mapped, and the remaining 80% is still a secret to us. Some scientists even think that 91% of sea animals have yet to be discovered.
So why do we know so little about the deep sea Well, getting to those depths is very difficult and requires high technology that simply didn’t come into being for most of human history. The first navigable submarine (可驾驶的潜水艇), for example, was built in 1620, and it couldn’t go more than five meters below the surface. In fact, for a long time, many scientists didn’t even think that there could be any life at depths greater than 550 meters and didn’t see much need to explore the deep sea. However, this changed in 1862 when life was discovered as far down as 945 meters below sea level with the help of a digging machine. Ten years later, around 4,700 species unknown before from the ocean floor were discovered.
Since then, high technology has been developed to help explore the deep sea, including satellites. But why is deep-sea exploration still so difficult Well, at greater depths it is freezing. Everything is completely dark, and the pressure is much greater than that on the surface.
Though we have the difficulties, it’s important that we understand the seas. They help control the earth’s temperature and produce half of the oxygen (O ) in the air. They can also provide us with information about climate change. Our future depends on learning more about our oceans, and it is possible for us to really understand what is ongoing below the surface.
14．Why are some numbers listed in paragraph 1
A．To introduce how important oceans are.
B．To discuss why sea animals have yet to be found out.
C．To explain that oceans cover a large area of the earth.
D．To show that we have only a little understanding of oceans.
15．What caused the change of exploration into the deep sea
A．The invention of sea travel for fun. B．Discovery of life in the deep sea.
C．Better temperature under the sea. D．Maps and data about the ocean floor.
16．What can we learn from the passage
A．It is difficult to build a navigable submarine.
B．The seas have a strong influence on our future.
C．The seas have no lives at a depth of 550 meters.
D．It is easier to go into the deep sea than we think.
17．What’s the best title for the passage
A．Hidden Treasures in Deep Sea
B．Unlocked Secrets of Deep Sea
C．Deep-Sea Exploration: Into the Freezing Depths
D．Deep-Sea Exploration: The Advantages and The Disadvantages

The universe is everything around us. It includes space, all the matter and energy in space, and even time. The stars like the Sun, and planets like Earth are part of it. These planets go around the Sun, which is just one star among billions. The Moon is not a planet. It circles Earth and is also part of this huge system (系统).
Scientists say the solar system (太阳系) are about 4.6 billion years old. They found this by studying rocks and small space stones. Earth seems permanent, but it’s not. The Sun, much bigger than Earth, will change too, possibly growing large enough to take in nearby planets like Earth one day.
The universe is about 13.8 billion years old. Scientists found this by looking at old stars and how fast the universe is getting bigger. ________ This surprises scientists, because they expected gravity (引力) to slow the stars down.
Earth and humans are very young compared to the universe. Life on Earth has been around for 3.8 billion years, but humans have only been here about 300,000 years. That’s a tiny bit of time—like a second in a whole year! We’ve explored only our own solar system, and even then, we haven’t seen all the planets and moons.
With new technology and curiosity, we keep learning about the universe. How did the universe begin Are there other planets with life Though space is big and full of secrets, each discovery helps us understand our place in it. The more we learn, the more we want to explore.

They are summer-time singers found everywhere except the Poles. And even though they’re common, they’re also quite fascinating. Who are they Grasshoppers!
About Body
Grasshoppers have an exoskeleton which means the skeleton is on the outside of their body. ______. The front pair is hard and strong, like a shell. The back pair is soft and flexible, which allows the grasshopper to change directions quickly and smoothly during flight. The grasshopper also has three pairs of very strong legs. They use these to walk and to jump 20 times their own body length. Imagine if you could do that!
Have you ever tried to catch a grasshopper You won’t even have a chance, because they have five eyes in total, which help them see in almost every direction.
Music Makers
If you hear a pleasant chirp (唧唧声) on a summer night, it could be a male grasshopper trying to attract a female one, or ask other males to stay away. It produces the sound by rubbing the back leg against its forewing, just like playing the violin. Next time you hear the chirping sound in summer, remember it’s a grasshopper’s love song or a warning call.
Friend or enemy
Some grasshoppers like the taste of wheat, corn and cotton. In fact, a large group of grasshoppers called locusts can quickly and easily eat up a farmer’s crops in just a few minutes.

AI is going to change the meaning of work just as the Internet did in the 1990s. Because of the rapid development of AI technologies, the skills needed for many jobs have changed by 25% since 2015. The number may reach at least 65% by 2030.
For employees (员工), it is important to focus on tasks rather than just job titles. Also, those tasks will change as AI develops. You should divide your job into tasks that AI can do, tasks that AI can help with, and tasks that need your own skills. In this way, ______. Those skills may include solving problems, thinking creatively, and managing time.
As for employers (雇主), this increases the importance of skill-based talents. More people are learning AI skills. There are nine times more people with AI skills than in 2016. Over the past two years, the number of job posts that mention AI has been 17% larger than those without mentioning AI. The leaders realize that they need to hire people with AI skills.
The emergence of AI starts a new world of work. Leaders and employees need to consider AI as a tool, not a replacement. Actually, it allows them to do their job more effectively. For example, software engineers can let AI handle simple tasks, so they have more time to think up new ideas.

Every September, our city has a special festival. Crowds of happy people go to the park. That’s because the gardening competition takes place there.

6．推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Every September, our city has a special festival...That’s because the gardening competition takes place there.”以及“For Julie and me, it was a pity that we couldn’t take part in the competition...We wanted to learn all about plants, gardening and farming.”可知，作者提到园艺比赛是为了表达她对园艺的兴趣，因为她和Julie因为比赛当天是她们高中开学的第一天而不能参加比赛感到遗憾，从而引出她们想要学习园艺的愿望。故选B。
7．推理判断题。根据下文“Later, Julie helped me search the town for the perfect place for gardening...”“In the neighbourhood, we posted letters through people’s doors with gardening instructions...”“When we finished, we were both covered in soil and completely exhausted.”可知，下文讲述了作者和Julie在园艺方面的经历，包括寻找合适的园艺地点、给邻居们发送园艺指导信件、在社区进行园艺实践等。因此，最合适的标题是“Gardening Experiences”（园艺经历）。故选D。
8．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“We buried ourselves in choosing courses.”可知，d选项“Julie和作者忙着选课”是故事的第一步；根据文章第四段“After a year’s study, I decided to give a presentation to my class about my project—the green farm.”可知，b选项“作者解释了绿色农场项目”是故事的第二步；根据文章第七段“Later, Julie helped me search the town for the perfect place for gardening”可知，a选项“Julie帮忙找到了一个完美的园艺地点”是故事的第三步；根据文章第八段“In the neighbourhood, we posted letters through people’s doors with gardening instructions.”可知，c选项“Julie和作者给邻居们寄信”是故事的第四步；根据文章第九段“Then in the same neighbourhood, we put grass over those broken old pavements for the kids to play on.”可知，e选项“旧人行道上铺满了草，供孩子们玩耍”是故事的第五步。因此，故事的正确顺序是d-b-a-c-e，故选A。
9．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Not bad!” she said. “We can do more to make our town greener!”可知，Julie和作者对她们所做的努力感到满意，并且想要做更多的事情来让她们的城镇变得更绿。结合前文她们在社区进行园艺实践的经历，可以推断她们可能会继续寻找更多的空地来种植草和蔬菜，以进一步美化城镇。因此，B选项“找到更多的空地来种植草和蔬菜”符合她们的意愿和行动方向。故选B。

Two scientists called Stanley Schachter and Jerome Singer developed the two-factor theory of emotion (情绪) in 1962. They said that emotions are formed in two parts. First, the body has a physical response to a threat (威胁) and then the mind considers the physical response as an emotion, which is then felt by the person. For example, imagine you are walking through a forest and you see a bear. Seeing it would probably start a physical response, such as your heart beating very fast and sweat breaking out. Your mind then decides that this is fear, which you feel as an emotion.
A new study has suggested that the key to reducing feelings of anger is not letting out but doing calming activities such as yoga or meditation.
The study was published by Sophie Kjaervik and Brad Bushman from Ohio State University. They wanted to explore the popular theory that venting anger is a good way of reducing it. Examples of venting anger include shouting or hitting something like boxing sandbags, so that you let go of the emotion and therefore don’t feel it any more. The pair looked at 154 other studies on anger. These involved 10,189 people, and included a variety of ages and backgrounds. In their study, Kjaervik and Bushman define anger as “an emotional response to a real or imagined threat”. They used a theory of emotion that says emotions are partly felt in your body and partly in your mind.
The scientists looked at the other studies to see how different activities influenced anger. They found that activities such as running or boxing—which are often thought to be good for dealing with anger—weren’t very good at reducing it. In fact, some of these activities actually made it worse because they increased physical responses in the body that are linked to feeling angry. For example, they made people’s hearts beat faster. However, activities that decreased physical responses in the body did help to reduce feelings of anger. These included activities that slow the heart rate, such as deep breathing, meditation and yoga. Bushman says activities that increase physical responses may be good for heart health but are “definitely not the best way to reduce anger”.
The team found jogging was most likely to increase anger. However, some heart-rate increasing activities—like ball games and team sports—could reduce anger. They think this shows that fun or playful activities help to reduce negative feelings.
10．According to Schachter and Singer’s theory, what happens first if you see a snake and feel afraid
A．You get the feeling of fear. B．You get the feeling of calm.
C．Your heart beats fast. D．Your heart beats slowly.
11．What does the underlined word “venting” probably mean in paragraph 3
A．Expressing. B．Hiding. C．Avoiding. D．Imagining.
12．What is the main finding of the new study
A．A new method of venting anger. B．A new method of increasing anger.
C．Good activities to vent anger. D．Good activities to reduce anger.
13．What can we learn about calming activities
A．They can reduce feelings of anger. B．They can increase the heart rate.
C．They are good for venting anger. D．They are good for heart health.
【答案】10．C 11．A 12．D 13．A
【导语】本文主要介绍了关于情绪的两因素理论，以及一项新的研究发现，即减少愤怒感觉的关键不是发泄，而是做一些如瑜伽或冥想等平静的活动。
10．推理判断题。根据“First, the body has a physical response to a threat...such as your heart beating very fast and sweat breaking out”可知，看到蛇时，最先发生的是生理反应，例如心跳加快，随后才被大脑解读为恐惧情绪。故选C。
11．词句猜测题。根据“Examples of venting anger include shouting or hitting something like boxing sandbags, so that you let go of the emotion and therefore don’t feel it any more.”可知，大喊或击打某物属于发泄愤怒、释放情绪的行为，可猜测出“venting”意为“表达、释放”，与“expressing”同义。故选A。
12．细节理解题。根据“A new study has suggested that the key to reducing feelings of anger is not letting out but doing calming activities such as yoga or meditation.”可知，新的研究发现，减少愤怒感觉的关键不是发泄，而是做一些如瑜伽或冥想等平静的活动，故这项新的研究主要发现了一些可以减少愤怒的好的活动。故选D。
13．细节理解题。根据“A new study has suggested that the key to reducing feelings of anger is not letting out but doing calming activities such as yoga or meditation.”和“However, activities that decreased physical responses in the body did help to reduce feelings of anger. These included activities that slow the heart rate, such as deep breathing, meditation and yoga.”可知，那些能够减少身体反应的活动，即深呼吸、冥想和瑜伽等平静的活动有助于减少愤怒感觉。故选A。

Though oceans cover about 71% of the earth’s surface, there’s still a lot we don’t know about them. Only about 20% of the seafloor has been mapped, and the remaining 80% is still a secret to us. Some scientists even think that 91% of sea animals have yet to be discovered.
So why do we know so little about the deep sea Well, getting to those depths is very difficult and requires high technology that simply didn’t come into being for most of human history. The first navigable submarine (可驾驶的潜水艇), for example, was built in 1620, and it couldn’t go more than five meters below the surface. In fact, for a long time, many scientists didn’t even think that there could be any life at depths greater than 550 meters and didn’t see much need to explore the deep sea. However, this changed in 1862 when life was discovered as far down as 945 meters below sea level with the help of a digging machine. Ten years later, around 4,700 species unknown before from the ocean floor were discovered.
Since then, high technology has been developed to help explore the deep sea, including satellites. But why is deep-sea exploration still so difficult Well, at greater depths it is freezing. Everything is completely dark, and the pressure is much greater than that on the surface.
Though we have the difficulties, it’s important that we understand the seas. They help control the earth’s temperature and produce half of the oxygen (O ) in the air. They can also provide us with information about climate change. Our future depends on learning more about our oceans, and it is possible for us to really understand what is ongoing below the surface.
14．Why are some numbers listed in paragraph 1
A．To introduce how important oceans are.
B．To discuss why sea animals have yet to be found out.
C．To explain that oceans cover a large area of the earth.
D．To show that we have only a little understanding of oceans.
15．What caused the change of exploration into the deep sea
A．The invention of sea travel for fun. B．Discovery of life in the deep sea.
C．Better temperature under the sea. D．Maps and data about the ocean floor.
16．What can we learn from the passage
A．It is difficult to build a navigable submarine.
B．The seas have a strong influence on our future.
C．The seas have no lives at a depth of 550 meters.
D．It is easier to go into the deep sea than we think.
17．What’s the best title for the passage
A．Hidden Treasures in Deep Sea

The universe is everything around us. It includes space, all the matter and energy in space, and even time. The stars like the Sun, and planets like Earth are part of it. These planets go around the Sun, which is just one star among billions. The Moon is not a planet. It circles Earth and is also part of this huge system (系统).
Scientists say the solar system (太阳系) are about 4.6 billion years old. They found this by studying rocks and small space stones. Earth seems permanent, but it’s not. The Sun, much bigger than Earth, will change too, possibly growing large enough to take in nearby planets like Earth one day.
The universe is about 13.8 billion years old. Scientists found this by looking at old stars and how fast the universe is getting bigger. ________ This surprises scientists, because they expected gravity (引力) to slow the stars down.
Earth and humans are very young compared to the universe. Life on Earth has been around for 3.8 billion years, but humans have only been here about 300,000 years. That’s a tiny bit of time—like a second in a whole year! We’ve explored only our own solar system, and even then, we haven’t seen all the planets and moons.
With new technology and curiosity, we keep learning about the universe. How did the universe begin Are there other planets with life Though space is big and full of secrets, each discovery helps us understand our place in it. The more we learn, the more we want to explore.

AI is going to change the meaning of work just as the Internet did in the 1990s. Because of the rapid development of AI technologies, the skills needed for many jobs have changed by 25% since 2015. The number may reach at least 65% by 2030.
For employees (员工), it is important to focus on tasks rather than just job titles. Also, those tasks will change as AI develops. You should divide your job into tasks that AI can do, tasks that AI can help with, and tasks that need your own skills. In this way, ______. Those skills may include solving problems, thinking creatively, and managing time.
As for employers (雇主), this increases the importance of skill-based talents. More people are learning AI skills. There are nine times more people with AI skills than in 2016.
