A
You’ve probably tried easy center-city Beijing rides if you enjoy riding. Now it’s time to level up your rides so they will take you out into the countryside and attractive mountains.
Death Valley
Approximate distance: 100 km loop (环线)
It may sound terrifying, but Beijing’s cyclists named this northern route “Death Valley” on account of the huge tomb it passes, not the number of on-road accidents it has seen. In reality, it’s the closest, mostly car-free loop to the city center and great for really stretching your legs.
Tuesdays/Thursday TTT
Approximate distance: 54 km loop
While it’s not particularly scenic, there are few traffic lights, and the roads are not too busy and have adequate bike lanes on each side, making it a relatively trouble-free ride. If you’d like to ride with a group, seek out early morning Beijing rider groups and join them on Tuesday and Thursday mornings at 5 a. m. or 6 a. m. depending on the season.
The Verse
Approximate distance: 120 km loop
It passes a cafe with good (although expensive) food, and even high-end accommodation, but the best part is their super welcoming attitude towards cyclists. It’s a hike that is well worth the effort, as you are rewarded with amazing views of the Great Wall upon arrival, and a ride back that is mostly downhill.
Tongzhou Grand Canal Forest Park
Approximate distance: 700 km loop
This park is the closest place for riders to enjoy the Grand Canal from Beijing. The Grand Canal is a true wonder in China, and one of the greatest civil engineering projects in history. The oldest parts of it date back to the 5th century BC. It will be a fun ride here.
1. How does the route Death Valley get its name
A. It offers deadly loops for cars. B. It is located in an isolated place.
C. It involves passing a large tomb. D. It witnesses numerous accidents for cyclists.
2. Which of the following covers the shortest distance
A Death Valley. B. Tuesdays/Thursday TTT.
C. The Verse. D. Tongzhou Grand Canal Forest Park.
3. What features do the last two routes share
A. A downhill ride. B. Second-to-none cafes.
C. Adequate bike lanes. D. A view of historical sites.
B
Naturalist Enzo Suma, who is now 40, lives in Puglia, a region in southern Italy whose long coastline faces the Adriatic Sea. Floating waste accumulates in this relatively enclosed part of the Mediterranean, unlike the open ocean, where the waste tends to be spread over a vast area. Feeling concerned about that, Suma makes it a habit to pick up the washed-up waste along the shore, especially after big winter storms.
One day, Suma was walking along the beach near his home when he discovered a bottle of Coke. Suma noticed on the bottle that the price, clearly printed on the bottom, was in lire, a currency (货币) that hadn’t been used in Italy since it was replaced by the euro in 2002. Could a plastic container have well survived in the Mediterranean, he wondered, for about two decades
That led him to founding the Archeoplastica museum. It has a collection of about 500 unique pieces recovered from Italian shores and the Coke bottle is the first one of them. All collection demonstrates the unsettling life force of plastic waste in the environment. “Seeing that a product people may have used 30, 40, or 50 years ago remains still unchanged, you’ll feel different. It’s a great shock,” Suma said to a reporter. So Suma often exhibits selected pieces from the Archeoplastica collection at local schools around his hometown of Ostuni.
“The playful side of the work allows you to arrive at the less beautiful side of things,” Suma acknowledged. “Plastic is a kind of useful substance. But it’s unthinkable that a water bottle, made from a material designed to last so long, can be used for just a few days—or even minutes—before becoming garbage. Clean the beaches. Clean the oceans. Recycle. But if we are still throwing out plastics, none of those are going to be long-term solutions.”
4. What’s Suma’s concern about his living place
A. Its long coastline is disappearing. B. Big storms frequently hit the area.
C. Floating waste spreads over a vast area. D. The waste pollution on shore is worsening.
5. What can be learned about the objects in the Archeoplastica museum
A. They have a history of more than half a century.
B. They were quite valuable before turning into waste.
C. They’re more like educational exhibits than garbage.
D. They have stronger life force than ordinary plastic products.
6. Which of the following can best describe Enzo Suma
A. Creative, devoted and socially responsible. B. Enthusiastic, ambitious and adventurous.
C. Generous, cautious and humorous. D. Curious, efficient and playful.
7. What does Suma intend to tell us by his words in the last paragraph
A. The birth of plastics has greatly served humans.
B. The key to tackling the plastic pollution is to stop littering.
C. The plastic problem can be solved by cleaning and recycling.
D. People should be more aware of the powerful functions of plastics.
C
The Door-to-Door Bookstore, whose author is Carsten Henn, translated from the German by Melody Shaw, is an undoubtedly emotional, inspiring novel about friendships between generations developed through books.
Carl Kollhoff, a 72-year-old bookseller in southern Germany, is beloved among his customers for finding just the right books for them. But his role is threatened when a new boss is determined to push out the star employee.
One of the limited highlights of Carl’s life is to deliver books every evening to a handful of shut-in customers. The selections are made by their stated preferences—for happy endings, tragedy, philosophical works and so on. Trouble happens when a pretty wise (and a little annoying) motherless 9-year-old girl tags along with him on his rounds. She decides Carl is not actually giving his customers what they really need, and comes up with a plan to correct this.
Like Carl’s backpack, Henn manages to fill his novel with books without weighing it down. Chapter titles suggest that classics are involved: The Stranger, The Red and the Black, Great Expectations. Carl, who is terrible with names, assigns a literary character to each customer—Mr. Darcy, Mrs. Longstocking, The Reader—to help him keep them straight.
We gradually come to know these townsfolk: the abused wife, and the ambitious writer with the soothing voice who is paid to read classics to cigar factory workers.
The Door-to-Door Bookstore is also filled with amusing observations. Carl divides readers into hares (野兔), who race through books; fish, who allow books to carry them along on their current; curious lapwings (鸟头麦鸡), who jump ahead to see the ending first; and tortoises, who fall asleep each night after a single page and take months to get through a book, having to turn back repeatedly to check what they’ve forgotten.
Readers will have fun finding themselves in these pages.
8. Where is the text most probably taken from
A. A review of a book. B. An essay on literature classics.
C. An introduction to a bookstore. D. A biography of Carl Kollhoff.
9. What is the main idea of the novel
A. The takeover of a family business by a young girl.
B. The friendship between Carl and a 9-year-old girl.
C. Carl’s struggle to find the right books for his customers.
D. The competition among different bookstores in Germany.
10. Why does the author of the passage mention some classics
A. To compare the book with them. B. To stress the importance of them.
C. To help readers understand the book. D. To show their popularity.
11. What does the author mean by saying “Readers will have fun finding themselves in these pages”
A Readers will relate to the characters and situations in the novel.
B. Readers will find satisfaction in correctly guessing the endings of the books.
C. Readers will enjoy the different ways people read books.
D. Readers will be amused by the diverse personalities of the customers.
D
If I’m anxiously waiting for an important telephone call, or stuck in writer’s block with a tight deadline, I’ll unavoidably rearrange my record collection, tidy my desk or clear up sheets of paper dotted around my office. It’s sometimes the most relaxed time I feel all day. I bet I’m not alone in this.
Psychologists suggest the perfect pleasure of puttering (从容做事) might be explained from many aspects. At the most superficial level puttering may be meaningful especially when we are in a situation where we feel stressed and helpless. That’s because puttering around in the kitchen for instance occupies the mind. In this way, we devote time and effort to things which are within our grasp instead of those bothering us.
Compared with other distracting activities, such as playing computer games or watching TV, many people enjoy puttering for the reason that it has the advantage of being useful for increasing their “perceived control”.
Just consider a classic paper by professors Ellen Langer and Judith Rodin. The study took place at a nursing home, where participants were divided into two groups. The first were asked to make their room on their own: they were allowed to arrange the furniture however they liked, and they were given a plant that. they had to care for by themselves. The second group, meanwhile, were told that the staff could take care of everything; they did not even have to water their plant. Over the following 18 months, the residents who took charge of their room enjoyed better physical health.
The benefits do not end there. If your puttering takes the form of organizing, you may find that the tidier environment itself is a form of comfort. Like all activities, the extent of these benefits will be influenced by your personal tastes and the associations that you link with the tasks. Those who expect to have a clear mind after a run are the most likely to return home with a clear head. Tidying, cleaning, and sorting will be no different.
12. What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 1 refer to
A. Cleaning up the desk before leaving the office. B. Calling for help when facing writer’s block.
C. Drawing comfort from some simple tasks. D. Appreciating music while writing a paper.
13. Why do many people prefer puttering to other distracting activities
A. It inspires them to be single-minded. B. It helps them boost their perceived control.
C. It makes them stay focused on their targets. D. It prevents them wasting time on useless things.
14. What advice may Langer and Rodin give to the elderly
A. Make friends with those sharing similar interests. B. Select a nursing home with great caution.
C. Take responsibility for some housework. D. Keep less furniture in their rooms.
15. Which is the most suitable title for the text
A. How do our preferences affect the benefits of puttering
B. How does perceived control help the elderly
C. Why do people tend to do irrelevant things at work
D. Why do small tasks have great healing powers

Today was Community Service Day at school. Maya’s class was going to make cards for the seniors living in a nursing home. It was also the first day Maya would be wearing her leg brace (腿支架) to school, which was designed to help her walk more steadily and smoothly.
It was a cold autumn morning, Maya looked down, feeling embarrassed. To make it lovelier, she had delicately decorated the brace with pretty butterfly patterns. Still, she was unsure about others’ reaction. All morning at school, kids kept glancing at her brace. To her relief, they didn’t say anything.
In the classroom, Maya was drawing little green buds (芽) and pretty flowers when her friend Samir came over and sat by her. She felt his eyes fixed on her brace and heard him asking, “What’s that for ” Not knowing what to say, Maya pretended she didn’t hear him. After a few seconds of awkwardness, she glanced back at him, and found that he looked a little sad.
After lunch, the class set off. The nursing home was on a small hill and all of them walked there happily along the path. Maya found that the brace did make it easier for her to walk up.
Maya and Samir were paired up with a lady who was 83 years old. There at the end of the hall in a wheelchair, with a big smile on her face, sat the lady, wearing a pink coat, with red lipstick and beautiful earrings. She looked bright and full of life. Moving flexibly and fast towards Maya and Samir, she greeted first. “I’m Joan, ” she said cheerfully, “Glad to meet you. ”
Maya and Samir handed her the cards they made. Joan looked at Samir’s card carefully and spoke with admiration, “You’ve written a poem! That’s so artistic!” Samir’s face reddened with shyness. Then Joan turned to Maya’s picture. “The first flowers of spring!” she cried in delight. “You really have a gift for using colour!” she said. Clearly, Joan’s praise added great power into Maya.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右;

Naturalist Enzo Suma, who is now 40, lives in Puglia, a region in southern Italy whose long coastline faces the Adriatic Sea. Floating waste accumulates in this relatively enclosed part of the Mediterranean, unlike the open ocean, where the waste tends to be spread over a vast area. Feeling concerned about that, Suma makes it a habit to pick up the washed-up waste along the shore, especially after big winter storms.
One day, Suma was walking along the beach near his home when he discovered a bottle of Coke. Suma noticed on the bottle that the price, clearly printed on the bottom, was in lire, a currency (货币) that hadn’t been used in Italy since it was replaced by the euro in 2002. Could a plastic container have well survived in the Mediterranean, he wondered, for about two decades
That led him to founding the Archeoplastica museum. It has a collection of about 500 unique pieces recovered from Italian shores and the Coke bottle is the first one of them. All collection demonstrates the unsettling life force of plastic waste in the environment. “Seeing that a product people may have used 30, 40, or 50 years ago remains still unchanged, you’ll feel different. It’s a great shock,” Suma said to a reporter. So Suma often exhibits selected pieces from the Archeoplastica collection at local schools around his hometown of Ostuni.
“The playful side of the work allows you to arrive at the less beautiful side of things,” Suma acknowledged. “Plastic is a kind of useful substance. But it’s unthinkable that a water bottle, made from a material designed to last so long, can be used for just a few days—or even minutes—before becoming garbage. Clean the beaches. Clean the oceans. Recycle. But if we are still throwing out plastics, none of those are going to be long-term solutions.”
4. What’s Suma’s concern about his living place
A. Its long coastline is disappearing. B. Big storms frequently hit the area.
C. Floating waste spreads over a vast area. D. The waste pollution on shore is worsening.
5. What can be learned about the objects in the Archeoplastica museum
A. They have a history of more than half a century.
B. They were quite valuable before turning into waste.
C. They’re more like educational exhibits than garbage.
D. They have stronger life force than ordinary plastic products.
6. Which of the following can best describe Enzo Suma
A. Creative, devoted and socially responsible. B. Enthusiastic, ambitious and adventurous.
C. Generous, cautious and humorous. D. Curious, efficient and playful.
7. What does Suma intend to tell us by his words in the last paragraph
A. The birth of plastics has greatly served humans.
B. The key to tackling the plastic pollution is to stop littering.
C. The plastic problem can be solved by cleaning and recycling.
D. People should be more aware of the powerful functions of plastics.
【答案】4. D 5. C 6. A 7. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述自然主义者Enzo Suma创办了Archeoplastica博物馆，通过展览向学校和社区展示塑料垃圾的持久性和环境影响，呼吁人们清理海滩、清理海洋和回收塑料以解决这一问题。
【4题详解】
细节理解题 。根据题干的“concern”可将答案定位到第一段“Feeling concerned about that...”，而前文提到“Floating waste accumulates in this relatively enclosed part of the Mediterranean, unlike the open ocean, where the waste tends to be spread over a vast area（漂浮的废物聚集在地中海这个相对封闭的部分，不像开放的海洋，废物往往分布在一个广阔的区域）”，可知他担心的是不断恶化的漂浮垃圾的问题。故选D。
【5题详解】
细节理解题 。根据第三段对Archeoplastica博物馆的介绍，“It has a collection of about 500 unique pieces recovered from Italian shores and the Coke bottle is the first one of them. All collection demonstrates the unsettling life force of plastic waste in the environment. （它收集了大约500件从意大利海岸回收的独特物品，而可乐瓶是其中的第一个。所有的收集都显示了塑料垃圾在环境中令人不安的生命力）”，可知博物馆的展品其实就是这些能够长久存在的塑料垃圾，目的是为了唤起人们对此问题的关注，具有教育意义。故选C。
【6题详解】
推理判断题 。通读文章可知，Enzo Suma关心环境问题，提出了颇具创新意义的解决方案，并践行自己的想法，可知他是一个有创造力、奉献精神、和社会责任感的人。故选A。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。 最后一段Suma对这个博物馆的作用意义进行评价，并再一次提醒人们塑料垃圾持久性的问题后，提到“But if we are still throwing out plastics, none of those are going to be long-term solutions （但如果我们还在扔塑料，这些都不是长久之计）”，由此可知，他认为根本解决之道是停止扔垃圾。故选B。
C
The Door-to-Door Bookstore, whose author is Carsten Henn, translated from the German by Melody Shaw, is an undoubtedly emotional, inspiring novel about friendships between generations developed through books.
Carl Kollhoff, a 72-year-old bookseller in southern Germany, is beloved among his customers for finding just the right books for them. But his role is threatened when a new boss is determined to push out the star employee.
One of the limited highlights of Carl’s life is to deliver books every evening to a handful of shut-in customers. The selections are made by their stated preferences—for happy endings, tragedy, philosophical works and so on. Trouble happens when a pretty wise (and a little annoying) motherless 9-year-old girl tags along with him on his rounds. She decides Carl is not actually giving his customers what they really need, and comes up with a plan to correct this.
Like Carl’s backpack, Henn manages to fill his novel with books without weighing it down. Chapter titles suggest that classics are involved: The Stranger, The Red and the Black, Great Expectations. Carl, who is terrible with names, assigns a literary character to each customer—Mr. Darcy, Mrs. Longstocking, The Reader—to help him keep them straight.
We gradually come to know these townsfolk: the abused wife, and the ambitious writer with the soothing voice who is paid to read classics to cigar factory workers.
The Door-to-Door Bookstore is also filled with amusing observations. Carl divides readers into hares (野兔), who race through books; fish, who allow books to carry them along on their current; curious lapwings (鸟头麦鸡), who jump ahead to see the ending first; and tortoises, who fall asleep each night after a single page and take months to get through a book, having to turn back repeatedly to check what they’ve forgotten.
Readers will have fun finding themselves in these pages.
8. Where is the text most probably taken from
A. A review of a book. B. An essay on literature classics.
C. An introduction to a bookstore. D. A biography of Carl Kollhoff.
9. What is the main idea of the novel
A. The takeover of a family business by a young girl.
B. The friendship between Carl and a 9-year-old girl.
C. Carl’s struggle to find the right books for his customers.
D. The competition among different bookstores in Germany.
10. Why does the author of the passage mention some classics
A. To compare the book with them. B. To stress the importance of them.
C. To help readers understand the book. D. To show their popularity.
11. What does the author mean by saying “Readers will have fun finding themselves in these pages”
A. Readers will relate to the characters and situations in the novel.
B. Readers will find satisfaction in correctly guessing the endings of the books.
C. Readers will enjoy the different ways people read books.
D. Readers will be amused by the diverse personalities of the customers.

If I’m anxiously waiting for an important telephone call, or stuck in writer’s block with a tight deadline, I’ll unavoidably rearrange my record collection, tidy my desk or clear up sheets of paper dotted around my office. It’s sometimes the most relaxed time I feel all day. I bet I’m not alone in this.
Psychologists suggest the perfect pleasure of puttering (从容做事) might be explained from many aspects. At the most superficial level, puttering may be meaningful especially when we are in a situation where we feel stressed and helpless. That’s because puttering around in the kitchen for instance occupies the mind. In this way, we devote time and effort to things which are within our grasp instead of those bothering us.
Compared with other distracting activities, such as playing computer games or watching TV, many people enjoy puttering for the reason that it has the advantage of being useful for increasing their “perceived control”.
Just consider a classic paper by professors Ellen Langer and Judith Rodin. The study took place at a nursing home, where participants were divided into two groups. The first were asked to make their room on their own: they were allowed to arrange the furniture however they liked, and they were given a plant that. they had to care for by themselves. The second group, meanwhile, were told that the staff could take care of everything; they did not even have to water their plant. Over the following 18 months, the residents who took charge of their room enjoyed better physical health.
The benefits do not end there. If your puttering takes the form of organizing, you may find that the tidier environment itself is a form of comfort. Like all activities, the extent of these benefits will be influenced by your personal tastes and the associations that you link with the tasks. Those who expect to have a clear mind after a run are the most likely to return home with a clear head. Tidying, cleaning, and sorting will be no different.
12. What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 1 refer to
A. Cleaning up the desk before leaving the office. B. Calling for help when facing writer’s block.
C. Drawing comfort from some simple tasks. D. Appreciating music while writing a paper.
13. Why do many people prefer puttering to other distracting activities
A. It inspires them to be single-minded. B. It helps them boost their perceived control.
C. It makes them stay focused on their targets. D. It prevents them wasting time on useless things.
14. What advice may Langer and Rodin give to the elderly
A. Make friends with those sharing similar interests. B. Select a nursing home with great caution.
C. Take responsibility for some housework. D. Keep less furniture in their rooms.
15. Which is the most suitable title for the text
A. How do our preferences affect the benefits of puttering
B. How does perceived control help the elderly
C. Why do people tend to do irrelevant things at work
D. Why do small tasks have great healing powers
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍为什么有时候从容地做些小事杂事也是有好处的。
【12题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段“If I’m anxiously waiting for an important telephone call, or stuck in writer’s block with a tight deadline, I’ll unavoidably rearrange my record collection, tidy my desk or clear up sheets of paper dotted around my office.(如果我在焦急地等待一个重要的电话，或者因为截止日期很紧而陷入写作障碍，我就会不可避免地重新整理我的唱片收藏，整理我的桌子，或者清理办公室里散落的纸张)”可知作者在焦虑紧张时会做一些小事，而“It’s sometimes the most relaxed time I feel all day.(有时这是我一天中最放松的时候)”可知“this”指的就是这种在做“无关紧要的”的小事中放松的过程（drawing comfort from some simple tasks）。故选C。
13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Compared with other distracting activities, such as playing computer games or watching TV, many people enjoy puttering for the reason that it has the advantage of being useful for increasing their “perceived control”.(与其他分散注意力的活动，如玩电脑游戏或看电视相比，许多人喜欢做些小事，因为它的优点是有助于增加他们的“感知控制”。)”可知，即做些小事有助于提高人们的控制感，故选B。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Over the following 18 months, the residents who took charge of their room enjoyed better physical health.(在接下来的18个月里，负责房间的居民身体健康状况有所改善)”可知，兰格和罗丹建议老年人承担一些家务。故选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“In this way, we devote time and effort to things which are within our grasp instead of those bothering us.(通过这种方式，我们把时间和精力投入到我们掌握的事情上，而不是那些困扰我们的事情上)”结合通读文章可知，作者以自己在做小事情中获得放松为引子，引出了对做小事情的原因的介绍，指出最明显的原因就是它能有助于提高人们的控制感，并提供研究证据。故D选项“为什么小任务有很大的治愈力”最符合文章标题。故选D。

●Be conscious about your time.
Time is the most precious thing because there is no way to live a moment again. ____17____ If you waste your precious hours doing negative things, you will regret it later. The first step for living consciously is to be wise about your time. Be selective about things you spend it on, and allocate (分配) it for positive activities.
●____18____
You cannot achieve them unless you understand your needs and intentions. It is easier said than done because most people fail to make an effort to know themselves. Spend time thinking over and knowing your strengths and weaknesses. Once you know yourself better, you can create a plan to work towards becoming more patient, honest, and forgiving.
●Learn to be grateful.
Gratitude takes you a long way towards conscious living. It opens you up to a happier and a fulfilled mindset. Most people are unhappy because they see only the negatives in life. However, everyone has something to be grateful for. Writing a gratitude journal is a good start for counting your blessings. ____19____
●Believe in yourself.
It is the key to making the right choices, yet not regretting the wrong ones. ____20____ Spending time alone and thinking deeply are effective measures that enable you to identify the inner voice. Care for it and follow it to make it stronger down the line.
Conscious living is a skill you need to learn as you go, so be willing to make the effort and master it. You will absorb it soon and be a happier person in the long run.
A. Know yourself better.

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了如何学会有意识地生活。
【16题详解】
根据上文“Conscious (有意识的) living is not just a trend.(有意识的生活不仅仅是一种时尚)”中“not just”可知，有意识的生活不仅仅是一种时尚，因此下文会更一进定义有意识的生活，D“It is a healthy choice that enables you to be happy.(它是一种健康的选择，能让你快乐)”提出有意识的生活还能带来快乐，与上文构成递进关系，句中代词it指代上文中“Conscious (有意识的) living”。故选D项。
【17题详解】
上文“Time is the most precious thing because there is no way to live a moment again.(时间是最宝贵的东西，因为没有办法让一个瞬间重来)”分析了时间宝贵的原因，F项“The way you spend your time determines the course of your life.(你如何利用时间，决定了你的人生轨迹)”承接上文，说明利用时间对人生的重意义，照应本段主题“Be conscious about your time.(要意识到你的时间)”，上下文语意连贯一致。故选F项。
【18题详解】
设空处是本段标题，根据下文“You cannot achieve them unless you understand your needs and intentions. It is easier said than done because most people fail to make an effort to know themselves. Spend time thinking over and knowing your strengths and weaknesses. Once you know yourself better, you can create a plan to work towards becoming more patient, honest, and forgiving.(除非你了解自己的需求和意图，否则你无法实现这些目标。这说起来容易做起来难，因为大多数人都没有努力去了解自己。花点时间思考并了解自己的优点和缺点。一旦你更了解自己，你就可以制定一个计划，让自己变得更有耐心、诚实和宽容)”可知，本段主要讲要去了解自己，所以A项“Know yourself better.(更好地了解自己)”是最佳标题。故选A项。
【19题详解】
上文“Writing a gratitude journal is a good start for counting your blessings. (写感恩日记是一个计算你所拥有的幸福的良好开端)”提出用写日记的方式来学会感恩，E项“Pick it as a daily habit, and you will notice the difference.(把它作为一种日常习惯，你会发现其中的不同)”承接上文，建议让写感恩日记变成一种习惯，上下文语意连贯；句中it指代上文中“Writing a gratitude journal”。故选E项。
【20题详解】
根据小标题“Believe in yourself.(相信自己)”可知，本段主要讲相信自己，即建立自信，G项“The best way to build self-belief is by reflecting on your own thoughts.(建立自信的最好方法是反思自己的想法)”提出方法，上下语意连贯。故选G项。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了我国苗族、布依族、壮族和土家族等少数民族特色建筑物——吊脚楼的历史、工艺及功能等。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：你可以在云南、广西、湖南和四川的河边或山区找到一群这样的房子。分析提示词locate(把……安置在/建造于)作后置定语修饰名词houses，是非谓语动词，与其逻辑主语houses之间为被动关系，所以使用过去分词形式，故填located。
【37题详解】
考查形容词。句意见上题解析。设空处应用mountain的形容词形式mountainous来修饰名词area，表示“多山的”。故填mountainous。
【38题详解】
考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意：吊脚楼的历史可以追溯到1400年前。分析句子结构可知，此处应为谓语动词，结合句意可知，此处描述的是客观事实，stretch back意为“追溯到”，用一般现在时态，没有被动语态，主语the history是单数，谓语动词也用单数形式。故填stretches。
【39题详解】
考查冠词。句意：这种不寻常的结构被认为是灵巧木工的杰作。可数名词masterpiece在句中表示“一件杰作”，泛指，需要不定冠词修饰，故填a。
【40题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：结构的高悬垂地板由木桩支撑，从远处看，这给了房子一个不稳定的外观。此空是非谓语作定语修饰floors of the structure，hang表示“悬浮(在空中)”，与floors为主动关系，故填hanging。
【41题详解】
考查物主代词。句意：但事实上，吊脚楼是牢固固定的，它的高跷在基座上用石块进一步加固。空格修饰名词bases，做定语，应用形容词性物主代词。故填their。
【42题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：一楼通常用作木柴和农具的储存空间。固定搭配tend to do sth. 意为“通常做，倾向于做，往往会做”用动词不定式作宾语，又因tend与主语之间为被动关系，应用不定式的被动式。故填to be used。
【43题详解】
考查介词。句意：牲畜住在一楼，而人总是住在上面。根据上文中的“Livestock stay on the ground floor”以及表示“对比”的连词while可知，此处应表示“在……上方”，用介词为above或者over。故填above/over。
【44题详解】
考查关系代词。句意：现在，它们继续保护人们免受毒蛇和昆虫的侵害，这些在中国并不罕见。设空处引导定语从句，先行词为snakes and insects，因定语从句缺少主语，故填which/that。
【45题详解】
考查副词。句意：此外，从上层窗户吹进来的凉风就像一种天然的空调。分析句子结构可知，此处为副词作状语修饰后面整个句子，addition的副词为additionally，且位于句首，首字母要大写。故填Additionally。

【答案】范文
There is a popular/prevailing idea among students that copying vocabulary repetitively is the best way to memories the English words and expressions. But I have a different view on that. Not only is it ineffective in memorizing words and expressions, also students tend to be lost in the usages.
To better improve the efficiency of memorizing vocabulary, I think it is best to put those words and expressions into sentences. It will become easier to remember the words and their usages as the vocabulary builds up. Also, making up sentences using the words is kindly advised. In this way, words will be not forgotten easily.

47. 阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Today was Community Service Day at school. Maya’s class was going to make cards for the seniors living in a nursing home. It was also the first day Maya would be wearing her leg brace (腿支架) to school, which was designed to help her walk more steadily and smoothly.
It was a cold autumn morning, Maya looked down, feeling embarrassed. To make it lovelier, she had delicately decorated the brace with pretty butterfly patterns. Still, she was unsure about others’ reaction. All morning at school, kids kept glancing at her brace. To her relief, they didn’t say anything.
In the classroom, Maya was drawing little green buds (芽) and pretty flowers when her friend Samir came over and sat by her. She felt his eyes fixed on her brace and heard him asking, “What’s that for ” Not knowing what to say, Maya pretended she didn’t hear him. After a few seconds of awkwardness, she glanced back at him, and found that he looked a little sad.
After lunch, the class set off. The nursing home was on a small hill and all of them walked there happily along the path. Maya found that the brace did make it easier for her to walk up.
Maya and Samir were paired up with a lady who was 83 years old. There at the end of the hall in a wheelchair, with a big smile on her face, sat the lady, wearing a pink coat, with red lipstick and beautiful earrings. She looked bright and full of life. Moving flexibly and fast towards Maya and Samir, she greeted first. “I’m Joan, ” she said cheerfully, “Glad to meet you. ”
Maya and Samir handed her the cards they made. Joan looked at Samir’s card carefully and spoke with admiration, “You’ve written a poem! That’s so artistic!” Samir’s face reddened with shyness. Then Joan turned to Maya’s picture. “The first flowers of spring!” she cried in delight. “You really have a gift for using colour!” she said. Clearly, Joan’s praise added great power into Maya.

【答案】
In a sudden wave of bravery Maya asked, “What’s it like being in a wheelchair ” “It helps me get around,” Joan said simply. Then, grinning, she added, “You’d be surprised at how fast I can go in this thing!” Right then, she moved the wheelchair across the room, turning around, back and forth. And what surprised Maya most was that she didn’t detect any pity or embarrassment from her. Then Maya looked up and found Joan was smiling, eyes purposefully resting on her brace. It was then that a spark of power was lit up deep inside Maya. That afternoon, the three of them had a pleasant talk over lots of things until it was dusk.
Deeply impressed by Joan, Maya offered to sit beside Samir on the bus ride back home. “Joan is great. I like her.” Samir admired. Maya nodded, lost in thought. With Joan’s wheelchair and smile in mind, she summoned up her courage and said, “The brace keeps my toe up so I can walk better.” “Really ” Samir looked amazed, reached out and touched it gently. “That’s super cool!” His words were so sincere that Maya felt warm and moved. It was a reaction that she expected deep inside her heart. Though it was autumn outside, it felt like spring for Maya. A little green bud was bursting — she and her brace looked cool, beautiful and dynamic in her and others’ eyes.
