If you want to take good care of your eyes and vision (视力), I encourage you to adopt the habit of blinking (眨眼) softly as often as possible. Frequent and gentle blinking is important to keep healthy eyes and good vision because it helps to keep your eyes coated with three beneficial layers (层) of tears.
The first layer of tears lies right up against the whites of your eyes, and provides an even coat of protein-rich moisture (水分) for the second layer to stick to. The middle watery layer helps to wash away foreign dust. It also provides your eyes with minerals, a variety of proteins, and moisture (水汽). The third outer layer of tears is somewhat oily. It serves to prevent the middle watery layer from drying quickly, and smooths your eyes.
If your eyes are not regularly coated with the three layers of tears described above, they will be short of moisture and cleaning, and they will be unnecessarily tired.
One of the reasons why many of us don’t blink as often as we should is that we don’t see frequent blinking in mainstream media. Actors and new presenters are typically trained to blink as infrequently as possible, so when we take in most forms of media, our minds learn that it isn’t normal to blink frequently.
To fully support your eyes and vision, it’s best to blink softly every two to four seconds, which means about fifteen to thirty blinks per minute. By making an effort to softly blink at this rate, over time, your body will turn your efforts into a habit. If you’re thinking that such frequent blinking will make reading a book or viewing a movie uncomfortable, give it a try and you’ll see right away that it doesn’t take away from these experiences at all.

An early morning winter storm had brought several inches of snow to my small town in the mountains. Schools were canceled, roads were dangerous and all I wanted to do was to stay in bed. Still, I knew I had to get the day started so I put on warm clothes and walked outside. The snow got all over my shoes. The cold wind dried my lips and my eyes. My 47-year-old back ached in anticipation (预想) of the shoveling (铲雪) I would have to do if the snow didn't stop soon.
Yet, when I looked out on the white blanket that covered the ground, I couldn't help but smile a bit. It was so beautiful. It softened the bare trees and hid the dead grass. In the distance I could hear the sound of the snowplow on the road, the barking of a happy dog and the laughter of children playing outside, enjoying their day off from school.
The sweet music of that laughter brought back a hundred memories of winters past. I remembered catching snowflakes (雪花) on my tongue, building snowmen, making snow angels, running down hills and always losing snowball fights with first my brothers and then my own children. Standing there in that warm coat of memories made the wind a little less cold and my back a little less sore. I turned up my head, stuck out my tongue and for the first time in years caught a snowflake on it. It tasted so fresh and clean. It tasted like youth, like joy and like love.
May you always feel young in spirit, no matter how old or achy your body may be. May you always delight in the simple joys of life. May you always share your happiness with the hearts of children. And may you always give your love, your light, your laughter and your warmth to others even on the coldest days.
28. What was the author's first reaction when he knew it snowed heavily？
A. He felt worried. B. He was upset.
C. He was indifferent. D. He felt in danger.
29. From the underlined sentence in Paragraph l, we can know that the author________ .
A. felt too cold because the snow didn’t stop
B. didn't want to start his day on such a snowy day
C. ached in his back because of the cold weather
D. would make greater efforts to clear up the snow
30. From which senses did the author describe the joy of having snow？
A. Taste and smell. B. Sight and smell.
C. Sight, hearing and taste. D. Smell, hearing and taste.
31. What does the author mainly want to tell us with this article？
A. We should always stay young at heart.
B. Snow brings both fun and trouble to humans.
C. Memories can change our opinion in all aspects.
D. Appreciate every moment spent with your family.
D
Pioneers like Harvard social ecologist Stephen Kellert were among the first to champion modern biophilic design. Kellert believed that weaving nature into living and workspaces is critical for good physical and mental health.
Humans have evolved to gravitate towards nature, Kellert noted. His principles include access to natural light, air, water, and plants. Using materials such as wood and stone, biophilic designs such as leaf or shell patterns help humans to feel closer to nature.
Biophilic designs can be seen all over the world. Examples include the Changi Airport in Singapore, with its four-storey forest garden and world’s largest indoor waterfall fed by rainwater, and the Swedish Mirror Cube Tree House Hotel, mainly made of used plywood and a lightweight aluminum frame wrapped around a tree. Incredible biophilic homes include One Central Park in Sydney, apartment blocks featuring hanging gardens on the outside. The buildings recycle their own water and a suspended (悬浮的) motorized mirror system reflects sunlight down onto gardens below. Milan’s Bosco Vertical block is perhaps even more eye-catching with its vertical forest.
Putting biophilic design to work for society could prevent millions in healthcare costs, with one study estimating annual savings of $93 million in the US alone. Hospital design in particular has historically been influenced by access to sunlight and views of nature. Modern buildings like the Khoo Teck Puat Hospital in Singapore, with its position next to the waterfall of the Yishun Pond, are closely linked with their surroundings. The hospital channels outdoor air to cool the inside, and uses reflective sunshades to direct light into the wards to brighten them and save energy.
The aim of these designs is to emphasize the human connection to nature by integrating buildings with the local environment. But how do we bring biophilia into our homes Start with house plants. New smart home apps can also provide sensory nature experiences such as birdsong and a projected forest canopy, helping people to carve out a restful space indoors.
But perhaps the best way to transform society with biophilic designs is to start with schools. Children learn better and feel more relaxed in biophilic settings. So the Children and Nature Network is working with schools across the US to create green schoolyards for better physical and mental health and to increase opportunities for outdoor learning.
Biophilic designers are bringing nature into classrooms through natural patterns, shapes and colors, nature photography, artwork and materials like timber and stone. Fresh air flow, green walls, and aquariums all become part of a recipe for improving health and academic success.
32. According to the passage, what does Stephen Kellert probably believe
A. Humans’ inborn love for nature won’t be lessened.
B. Nature can improve people’s sense of responsibility.
C. Humans need to appreciate and make good use of nature.
D. Natural materials have taken priority in modern building designs.
33. What do the examples of biophilic designs in the passage have in common
A. They apply smart home technology.
B. They promote sustainable development.
C. They include waterfalls and gardens inside.
D. They use local resources to cut the cost of buildings.
34. What can we learn from the last two paragraphs
A. Biophilic designs have greatly transformed schools.
B. Biophilic designs help improve students’ performance.
C. Biophilic designs focus mainly on students’ mental health.
D. Biophilic designs have moved most of the classrooms outside.
35. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage
A. Let’s Invite Nature Inside
B. Live Naturally and Simply
C. The Best Natural Building Designer
D. Ups and Downs of Natural Buildings

Unexpectedly, from across the country, dedicated monarch enthusiasts ____52____ us with their own observations, ideas and findings. As summer progressed, our efforts ____53____ !
One day when the sun was shining and the sky was deep blue, suddenly, just as Nana remembered, a few fluttering (颤动的) orange wings, laced with black lines and bordered with white dots, soon became thousands of soaring butterflies. As monarchs ____54____ above and around us gracefully and merrily, Nana cried tears of happiness, hugging me tightly. It was really a(n) ____55____ experience.

When people sit together at night and enjoy the glorious moon, an ancient poem, “Prelude to Water Melody”(水调歌头), is often read for this occasion.

67. 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。
The bell rang, announcing the end of the vivid art class Karson loved most. He was delighted that he had created a very satisfying work. So he walked to the back of the classroom to put his work away carefully. There, lying on the carpet in front of the classroom bookcase, was a golden ticket! Karson picked it up. His heat beat faster when he saw that the name line was blank. He couldn’t believe his luck!
The boys and girls in Karson’s class could earn golden tickets by doing well in their study or by being extra helpful or kind. Once a week their teacher drew a ticket out of a box on her desk and let the winner choose a prize.
Today was the golden ticket drawing, and here was another ticket, just for him! Karson looked around. No one else was near the ticket. All his classmates were at their desks, laughing and talking with each other. Miss Evans was engaged in grading the papers collected early in the morning.
Karson decided to write his name on the blank line. Then he could put it into the prize box with the six tickets he’d already earned. With so many chances, one of his tickets would most probably be picked! Then he could choose the pink toy pig for his sister’s birthday, just like he had been hoping.
He smiled and reached for the pencil in his pocket. Suddenly his fingers stopped. There was a strange feeling in his chest, and it wasn’t his heartbeat. “It’s ‘finders keepers’, right ” he wondered. He looked out of the window and tried to figure it out. On the one hand, he did find the ticket, but he hadn’t earned it. Somebody must have lost it. But on the other hand, he did need tis extra ticket for his great plan!
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1:
Karson stared at the blank name line for a moment.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
“Karson, I’d like you to have another ticket!” said Miss Evans.

You need to pay for this trip by Friday. The cost is 6.50 for admission to the Ocean Park and 2.00 towards the cost of the coach. So, that means the amount you need is 8.50. Now, it’s very important for you to bring your lunch. We will provide water and some fruit, so don’t worry about that. We’re going to eat on the beach in front of the Ocean Park, and there won’t be a chance to buy anything, so you must bring your own.
It’s going to be a really interesting trip. There are a few special events the day we are going. We’re going to watch the sharks being fed at 3:00, no, hold on, that’s at 2:30. There’s also a talk every morning at 11. The topics change every day and often they talk about fish, but on the day we’re going — that’s next Tuesday — it’s about penguins, so I’m sure you’ll all love that. We’ll give you some worksheets to do while you’re at the Ocean Park, but don’t worry, they’ll be quite easy.

If you want to take good care of your eyes and vision (视力), I encourage you to adopt the habit of blinking (眨眼) softly as often as possible. Frequent and gentle blinking is important to keep healthy eyes and good vision because it helps to keep your eyes coated with three beneficial layers (层) of tears.
The first layer of tears lies right up against the whites of your eyes, and provides an even coat of protein-rich moisture (水分) for the second layer to stick to. The middle watery layer helps to wash away foreign dust. It also provides your eyes with minerals, a variety of proteins, and moisture (水汽). The third outer layer of tears is somewhat oily. It serves to prevent the middle watery layer from drying quickly, and smooths your eyes.
If your eyes are not regularly coated with the three layers of tears described above, they will be short of moisture and cleaning, and they will be unnecessarily tired.
One of the reasons why many of us don’t blink as often as we should is that we don’t see frequent blinking in mainstream media. Actors and new presenters are typically trained to blink as infrequently as possible, so when we take in most forms of media, our minds learn that it isn’t normal to blink frequently.
To fully support your eyes and vision, it’s best to blink softly every two to four seconds, which means about fifteen to thirty blinks per minute. By making an effort to softly blink at this rate, over time, your body will turn your efforts into a habit. If you’re thinking that such frequent blinking will make reading a book or viewing a movie uncomfortable, give it a try and you’ll see right away that it doesn’t take away from these experiences at all.

A. Closing and opening our eyes frequently and gently.
B. Taking good care of our eyes by doing eye exercises.

An early morning winter storm had brought several inches of snow to my small town in the mountains. Schools were canceled, roads were dangerous and all I wanted to do was to stay in bed. Still, I knew I had to get the day started so I put on warm clothes and walked outside. The snow got all over my shoes. The cold wind dried my lips and my eyes. My 47-year-old back ached in anticipation (预想) of the shoveling (铲雪) I would have to do if the snow didn't stop soon.
Yet, when I looked out on the white blanket that covered the ground, I couldn't help but smile a bit. It was so beautiful. It softened the bare trees and hid the dead grass. In the distance I could hear the sound of the snowplow on the road, the barking of a happy dog and the laughter of children playing outside, enjoying their day off from school.
The sweet music of that laughter brought back a hundred memories of winters past. I remembered catching snowflakes (雪花) on my tongue, building snowmen, making snow angels, running down hills and always losing snowball fights with first my brothers and then my own children. Standing there in that warm coat of memories made the wind a little less cold and my back a little less sore. I turned up my head, stuck out my tongue and for the first time in years caught a snowflake on it. It tasted so fresh and clean. It tasted like youth, like joy and like love.
May you always feel young in spirit, no matter how old or achy your body may be. May you always delight in the simple joys of life. May you always share your happiness with the hearts of children. And may you always give your love, your light, your laughter and your warmth to others even on the coldest days.
28. What was the author's first reaction when he knew it snowed heavily？
A. He felt worried. B. He was upset.
C. He was indifferent. D. He felt in danger.
29. From the underlined sentence in Paragraph l, we can know that the author________ .
A. felt too cold because the snow didn’t stop
B. didn't want to start his day on such a snowy day
C. ached in his back because of the cold weather
D. would make greater efforts to clear up the snow
30. From which senses did the author describe the joy of having snow？
A. Taste and smell. B. Sight and smell.
C. Sight, hearing and taste. D. Smell, hearing and taste.
31. What does the author mainly want to tell us with this article？
A. We should always stay young at heart.
B. Snow brings both fun and trouble to humans.
C. Memories can change our opinion in all aspects.
D. Appreciate every moment spent with your family.

The snow got all over my shoes. The cold wind dried my lips and my eyes. My 47-year-old back ached in anticipation (预想) of the shoveling (铲雪) I would have to do if the snow didn't stop soon.”(学校放假了，道路很危险，我想做的就是待在床上。然而，我知道我不得不开始一天的工作，因此我穿上暖和的衣服走了出去。雪落的我鞋上都是。冷风吹干了我的嘴唇和眼睛。如果雪一直不停的话，我将不得不去铲雪，随之而来我能想象到，我47岁的背部会疼。)可知，作者不喜欢雪，所以应该是心烦的状态。故选B。

It tasted so fresh and clean. It tasted like youth, like joy and like love.”(我抬起头，伸出舌头，并且是这么多年来第一次抓住一片雪花。它尝起来如此的新鲜干净。它尝起来像年轻，像快乐，像爱。)可知，作者通过看、听和品尝这3种感官来描述对雪的喜欢。故选C。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“May you always feel young in spirit, no matter how old or achy your body may be.”(无论你多老或者你的身体会多疼，希望你总是能在精神上感到年轻。)可知，作者通过这篇文章是想告诉读者，无论外貌或者身体是什么样子，都要保持心理上的年轻。故选A。
D
Pioneers like Harvard social ecologist Stephen Kellert were among the first to champion modern biophilic design. Kellert believed that weaving nature into living and workspaces is critical for good physical and mental health.
Humans have evolved to gravitate towards nature, Kellert noted. His principles include access to natural light, air, water, and plants. Using materials such as wood and stone, biophilic designs such as leaf or shell patterns help humans to feel closer to nature.
Biophilic designs can be seen all over the world. Examples include the Changi Airport in Singapore, with its four-storey forest garden and world’s largest indoor waterfall fed by rainwater, and the Swedish Mirror Cube Tree House Hotel, mainly made of used plywood and a lightweight aluminum frame wrapped around a tree. Incredible biophilic homes include One Central Park in Sydney, apartment blocks featuring hanging gardens on the outside. The buildings recycle their own water and a suspended (悬浮的) motorized mirror system reflects sunlight down onto gardens below. Milan’s Bosco Vertical block is perhaps even more eye-catching with its vertical forest.
Putting biophilic design to work for society could prevent millions in healthcare costs, with one study estimating annual savings of $93 million in the US alone. Hospital design in particular has historically been influenced by access to sunlight and views of nature. Modern buildings like the Khoo Teck Puat Hospital in Singapore, with its position next to the waterfall of the Yishun Pond, are closely linked with their surroundings. The hospital channels outdoor air to cool the inside, and uses reflective sunshades to direct light into the wards to brighten them and save energy.
The aim of these designs is to emphasize the human connection to nature by integrating buildings with the local environment. But how do we bring biophilia into our homes Start with house plants. New smart home apps can also provide sensory nature experiences such as birdsong and a projected forest canopy, helping people to carve out a restful space indoors.
But perhaps the best way to transform society with biophilic designs is to start with schools. Children learn better and feel more relaxed in biophilic settings. So the Children and Nature Network is working with schools across the US to create green schoolyards for better physical and mental health and to increase opportunities for outdoor learning.
Biophilic designers are bringing nature into classrooms through natural patterns, shapes and colors, nature photography, artwork and materials like timber and stone. Fresh air flow, green walls, and aquariums all become part of a recipe for improving health and academic success.
32. According to the passage, what does Stephen Kellert probably believe
A. Humans’ inborn love for nature won’t be lessened.
B. Nature can improve people’s sense of responsibility.
C. Humans need to appreciate and make good use of nature.
D. Natural materials have taken priority in modern building designs.
33. What do the examples of biophilic designs in the passage have in common
A. They apply smart home technology.
B. They promote sustainable development.
C. They include waterfalls and gardens inside.
D. They use local resources to cut the cost of buildings.
34. What can we learn from the last two paragraphs
A. Biophilic designs have greatly transformed schools.
B. Biophilic designs help improve students’ performance.
C. Biophilic designs focus mainly on students’ mental health.
D. Biophilic designs have moved most of the classrooms outside.
35. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage
A. Let’s Invite Nature Inside
B. Live Naturally and Simply
C. The Best Natural Building Designer
D. Ups and Downs of Natural Buildings
【答案】32. C 33. B 34. B 35. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要举例子介绍了一些将自然融入生活、工作和学习中的亲生态设计，这种亲生态设计对人们的身心健康带来很大好处。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Humans have evolved to gravitate towards nature, Kellert noted. but if we don't develop that impulse it fades. So his principles include access to natural light, air, water. plants, and gardens. Using materials such as wood and stone, natural designs such as leaf or shell patterns, and earthy colors also helps humans to feel closer to nature.（Kellert注意到，人类已经进化到被大自然吸引的地步。但如果我们不培养这种冲动，它就会消失。所以他的原则是要接近自然光，空气，水，植物和花园。使用木材和石头等材料，设计像树叶或贝壳等自然图案，以及使用朴实的颜色，这些也有助于人类感觉更接近大自然）”可推断出，Stephen Kellert可能认为人类需要欣赏和充分利用大自然。故选C项。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段第两句“Examples include the Changi Airport in Singapore, with its four-storey forest garden and world’s largest indoor waterfall fed by rainwater, and the Swedish Mirror Cube Tree House Hotel, mainly made of used plywood and a lightweight aluminum frame wrapped around a tree.（例如新加坡樟宜机场，有四层的森林花园和世界上最大的室内瀑布，由雨水灌溉；瑞典镜子立方树屋酒店，主要由用过的胶合板和包裹在一棵树上的轻质铝框架建成。）”和第四段最后两句“ Modern buildings like the Khoo Teck Puat Hospital in Singapore, with its position next to the waterfall of the Yishun Pond, are closely linked with their surroundings. The hospital channels outdoor air to cool the inside, and uses reflective sunshades to direct light into the wards to brighten them and save energy.（新加坡的邱德普医院就坐落在一顺池瀑布旁，与周围环境紧密相连。医院引导室外空气冷却室内，并使用反射式遮阳伞将光线引导进病房，使病房变亮并节约能源。）”可推断出，文章列举的这些亲生态设计的共同点就是，它们都有助于促进可持续发展。故选B项。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段第二句“Children learn better and feel more relaxed in biophilic settings.（在生态环境中，孩子们学得更好，感觉更放松）”和最后一段最后一句“Fresh air flow, green walls, and aquariums all become part of a recipe for improving health and academic success.（流动的新鲜空气，绿色的墙壁，水族馆这些都成为改善健康和学术成功的一部分）”可知，亲生态设计有助于改善学生在学校的表现。故选B项。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段第一句“Biophilic designers are bringing nature into classrooms through natural patterns, shapes and colors, nature photography, artwork and materials like timber and stone.（热爱生物的设计师通过自然的图案、形状和颜色、自然摄影、艺术作品以及木材和石头等材料将自然带入教室。）”结合全文可知，文章主要举例子介绍了一些将自然融入生活，工作和学习中的亲生态设计，这种亲生态设计对人们的身心健康带来很大好处。由此可推断出，A选项“Let’s Invite Nature Inside（让我们邀请大自然进来）”最适合作文章标题。故选A项。

67. 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。
The bell rang, announcing the end of the vivid art class Karson loved most. He was delighted that he had created a very satisfying work. So he walked to the back of the classroom to put his work away carefully. There, lying on the carpet in front of the classroom bookcase, was a golden ticket! Karson picked it up. His heat beat faster when he saw that the name line was blank. He couldn’t believe his luck!
The boys and girls in Karson’s class could earn golden tickets by doing well in their study or by being extra helpful or kind. Once a week their teacher drew a ticket out of a box on her desk and let the winner choose a prize.
Today was the golden ticket drawing, and here was another ticket, just for him! Karson looked around. No one else was near the ticket. All his classmates were at their desks, laughing and talking with each other. Miss Evans was engaged in grading the papers collected early in the morning.
Karson decided to write his name on the blank line. Then he could put it into the prize box with the six tickets he’d already earned. With so many chances, one of his tickets would most probably be picked! Then he could choose the pink toy pig for his sister’s birthday, just like he had been hoping.
He smiled and reached for the pencil in his pocket. Suddenly his fingers stopped. There was a strange feeling in his chest, and it wasn’t his heartbeat. “It’s ‘finders keepers’, right ” he wondered. He looked out of the window and tried to figure it out. On the one hand, he did find the ticket, but he hadn’t earned it. Somebody must have lost it. But on the other hand, he did need tis extra ticket for his great plan!
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1:
Karson stared at the blank name line for a moment.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
“Karson, I’d like you to have another ticket!” said Miss Evans.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Paragraph 1:
Karson stared at the blank name line for a moment. He knew his plan wouldn’t be so great if he won with a ticket that didn’t belong to him. So he walked up to his teacher. “Miss Evans, I happened to find this ticket on the floor near the bookcase. I think the one who lost it will look for it. And these are mine,” he said, his six tickets into the box. When he turned around to leave, the teacher stopped him.
Paragraph 2:
“Karson, I’d like you to have another ticket!” said Miss Evans. Karson was amazed and wondered why. Miss Evans smiled and signed to the class to quiet down, “Karson handed in the golden ticket he had just found. I think he is honest and deserves another one!” The class burst into loud applause. Karson happily went back to his seat, eagerly expecting the ticket drawing. He still wanted his name to be picked, but he would feel OK even if it wasn’t. After all, making the right choice did make him feel great!
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Karson在美术课后，在教室后面发现一张抽奖券，上面的姓名栏是空的，他可以用这张券给妹妹送粉色猪玩具（佩奇），这可是他一直期待的。但是当他打算在上面写上自己的名字的那一刻，他犹豫了，那毕竟不是他自己挣来的，虽然它可以实现自己的一个大计划。
【详解】1. 段落续写
①由第一段首句内容“Karson盯着空白的名字行看了一会儿。”可知，第一段描写Karson将捡到的抽奖券最终还给了老师。
②由第二段首句内容““Karson，我想再给你一张票！” Evans老师说。”可知，第二段描写老师因此而表扬他，并且多给她一张抽奖券，来鼓励他的诚实。Karson也为自己做了正确的事情而感到自豪。
2. 续写线索
捡到抽奖券——想据为己有——犹豫——还给老师——被老师和同学表扬——自豪
3. 词汇激活
行为类
①走近：walk up to/come up to
②发现：find/spot
情绪类
①感觉棒：feel great/feel wonderful/feel so right
②吃惊的：amazed/surprised
【点睛】[高分句型1] I think the one who lost it will look for it.(运用了who引导的限制性定语从句)
[高分句型2] Karson happily went back to his seat, eagerly expecting the ticket drawing.(使用了现在分词做状语)
