Visit our site and the most surprising, engaging, and inspiring art museums within an airport are just a click away.Athens Eleftherios Venizelos AirportAncient Greece travels to you when you arrive at Athens Eleftherios Venizelos Airport. Before security, travelers can explore 172 pieces of archaeological artifacts from the Neolithic and Early Helladie to the Post-Byzantine period. Some of the pieces were actually uncovered during the construction of the airport. Even those not traveling through the airport can explore the displays thanks to an online 3D gallery.Doha Hamad AirportSocial media enthusiasts have surely seen people posing for photos with the famous yellow “Lamp Bear” inside Doha Hamad Airport. You’ll also find 10 other giant statues and displays within the terminal. These include “A Message of Peace to the World,” a striking sculpture honoring the work of a local nonprofit organization, Reach out to Asia, that supports education in underprivileged Asian countries. The carefully-selected art on display is a cooperation between the airport and Qatar Museums.Seoul Incheon AirportBeyond traditional pieces of art, Seoul Incheon Airport takes things a step further by offering interactive experiences and classes for travelers. Within the airport is a branch of the National Museum of Korea exhibiting many pieces from its collection. There are rotating (轮流的) exhibits that allow frequent travelers to see a different selection of local artifacts and art pieces on different visits. There are traditional music concerts, ancient relic exhibitions and contemporary art displays.Singapore Changi AirportYou may have seen the famous Jewel at Changi Airport in Singapore with its garden-enveloped waterfall. It is part of a larger shopping complex that encourages visitors, including those that are not traveling. Besides, there is other museum - quality art to explore like magnificent sculptures suspended from the ceiling, paintings lining the walls and even a rotating propeller (螺旋桨) that looks like a blossoming flower.1. Which airport’s artworks can be appreciated both physically and virtually A. Athens Eleftherios Venizelos Airport. B. Doha Hamad Airport.C. Seoul Incheon Airport. D. Singapore Changi Airport.2. What do Doha Hamad Airport and Singapore Changi Airport have in common A. They support charity causes. B. They boast splendid sculptures.C. They cooperate with local museums. D. They possess large shopping malls.3. Where can the text possibly be found A. In an art magazine. B. On a travel website.C. In a geography textbook. D. In a museum guidebook.【答案】1. A 2. B 3.

(当你到达雅典Eleftherios Venizelos机场时，古希腊就在你身边.)”和“Even those not traveling through the airport can explore the displays thanks to an online 3D gallery. (即使那些没有经过机场的人也可以通过在线3D画廊来探索这些展示.)”可知，雅典Eleftherios Venizelos机场可以亲身到场参观，也可以通过虚拟方式参观，故选A。【2题详解】细节理解题。根据Doha Hamad Airport部分中“You’ll also find 10 other giant statues and displays within the terminal. These include ‘A Message of Peace to the World,’ a striking sculpture (您还可以在航站楼内找到其他10个巨型雕像和展品。其中包括‘Message of Peace to World’这是一座引人注目的雕塑)”和Singapore Changi Airport部分中“Besides, there is other museum-quality art to explore like magnificent sculptures suspended from the ceiling, paintings lining the walls and even a rotating propeller (螺旋桨) that looks like a blossoming flower. (此外，还有其他博物馆级别的艺术值得探索，比如悬挂在天花板上的宏伟雕塑，墙壁上的绘画，甚至还有一个看起来像盛开的花朵的旋转螺旋桨。)”可知，两个机场的共同点是它们都有值得骄傲的宏伟雕塑，故选B。【3题详解】推理判断题。根据全文内容，结合第一段中“Visit our site and the most surprising, engaging, and inspiring art museums within an airport are just a click away. (只需点击一下，就可访问我们的网站和机场内最令人惊讶、最吸引人、最鼓舞人心的艺术博物馆。)”可知，文章主要介绍了几个分享艺术的机场，应是出自一个旅行网站，故选B。BWhen my dad was first diagnosed with cancer and had radiation, I pushed my whole family to start eating more fresh produce (农产品) and preferably organics. My mom really improved her cooking from the roasted slice of pork and frozen-veggies dinners that I had fallen in love with. Dad said he had never eaten so well.My dad had been an IBM guy, who often said, “People never change,” but he became skilled in overall treatments and began to take well-informed control of his own course of action. I wasn’t thinking too much of his changes, but he had survived cancer for over 10 years, constantly learning, running his charity golf events, doing a bit of travel and always looking pleasant and smiling.My dad and I decorated a farmhouse in 2012, and I started taking care of the orchard (果园), shaping rows for crops and a herb garden, and learning to care for four red hens. Bringing farm-fresh food to my family was a way I could contribute to dad’s health as well as his enjoyment of life, take a little work off my mom’s hands, and sit and chat about something other than cancer.The idea for this business came from what we learned about the role of food in health. My dad’s doctor told him that eating fresh produce could help resist cancer. Dad helped me set up the farm and worked till just a few days before he passed. But all of what I do here is based on experience, research, and strong values.We learned more than I ever wanted to know. But the goals of this farm developed as we learned, and here we have it: Produce with a purpose — fresh produce, grown for disease-fighting and preventive health value, delivered with easy but crazy — delicious recipes as well as support, encouragement, overall thinking and even a bit of humor.4. Which of the following food did the author like in the past A. Organic food. B. Fresh vegetables. C. Barbecued meat. D. Fast-food meal.5. What did the author think of his dad A. He was unwilling to change. B. He was crazy about adventures.C. He was unconcerned about his disease. D. He was positive about challenges.6. What inspired the author and his dad to start the farm A. The pressure of his mother. B. The suggestions of a doctor.C. The deadly cancer of his dad. D. The great harvest on the farm.7. What is the best title A. A cure for cancer.B. A dream of my family.C. A purposeful farm.D. The value of fresh produce.【答案】4. C 5. D 6. B 7. C【解析】【导语】这是一篇记叙文，文章主要介绍父亲患癌症，作者一家改变饮食结构，建起一个农场，并且农场有了新的发展目标。【4题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段中“My mom really improved her cooking from the roasted slice of pork and frozen-veggies dinners that I had fallen in love with.(我妈妈真的改进了她的厨艺，不再是我爱吃的烤猪肉和冷冻蔬菜晚餐了)”可知，过去作者晚餐喜欢吃烤猪肉片和冷冻蔬菜。故选C。【5题详解】推理判断题。根据第二段中“I wasn’t thinking too much of his changes, but he had survived cancer for over 10 years, constantly learning, running his charity golf events, doing a bit of travel and always looking pleasant and smiling.(我并没有过多考虑他的变化，但他已经从癌症中活了10多年，不断学习，举办慈善高尔夫活动，经常旅行，总是看起来很愉快，面带微笑)”可推知，作者认为父亲积极应对困难。故选D。【6题详解】细节理解题。根据第四段中“My dad’s doctor told him that eating fresh produce could help resist cancer. Dad helped me set up the farm and worked till just a few days before he passed.(我爸爸的医生告诉他吃新鲜的农产品可以帮助抵抗癌症。爸爸帮我建立了农场，一直干到他去世的前几天)”可知，医生的建议激发了作者和他的父亲建立这个农场。故选B。【7题详解】主旨大意题。根据最后一段“We learned more than I ever wanted to know. But the goals of this farm developed as we learned, and here we have it: Produce with a purpose — fresh produce, grown for disease-fighting and preventive health value, delivered with easy but crazy — delicious recipes as well as support, encouragement, overall thinking and even a bit of humor.(我们学到的东西比我想知道的要多。但这个农场的目标随着我们的学习而发展，现在我们有了新目标：生产有目的的新鲜农产品，为抗击疾病和预防健康价值而种植，提供简单但疯狂的美味食谱，以及支持、鼓励、整体思考，甚至一点幽默)”可知，文章介绍由于父亲患癌症作者一家改变饮食结构，在这个背景下作者和父亲建起一个农场，在农场里作者也找到了劳动的快乐与价值，C项“一个有目的的农场”为最佳标题。故选C。CIn the days before the internet, critical thinking was the most important skill that informed citizens could have. But in the digital age, according to Anastasia Kozyreva, a German psychologist, an even more important skill is “critical ignoring.” With such an overabundance of information, we need to first decide what’s worth our attention and time, and what’s not.The first strategy is self-nudging. This involves avoiding low-quality information so that we have more quality time for ourselves. It also involves the removal of distracting things from the environment around you. Of course, we need to stay informed of world events, so we can’t just ignore the internet altogether. When you do go into social media, Kozyreva recommends setting time limits, which prevents you from losing track of time as you click on one attractive link after another.The next strategy is lateral (横向的) reading. Its purpose is to improve judgments about the reliability of information, and to protect you from false and misleading information. The strategy involves opening a new web page to find out more about the source of the information. Likewise, it’s also good to check the source of the information in an internet post. Headlines are often cheating. They’re designed to attract attention, not provide information. The main idea of the article may be completely contrary to the implication in the headline. A sensational claim may provide a link with a headline that seems to support it, but a careful reading of the original source shows it doesn’t.We live in a digital age in which we’re overwhelmed with information, much of it of poor quality. Train our critical ignoring skills and we can get the benefits of the internet while we avoid falling victim to those who try to control our attention.8. Which of the following saying can best describe “critical ignoring” A. Rob Peter to pay Paul. B. Make something out of nothing.C. Birds of a feather flock together. D. Separate the sheep from the goats.9. What does the author suggest for applying self-nudging strategy A. Improving study equipment. B. Managing our own time well.C. Avoiding access to social media. D. Staying informed of what happened.10. How can we ensure the reliability of information in an article A. By focusing solely on headlines. B. By randomly browsing through posts.C. By seeking out primary information. D. By consulting authorities for advice.11. What is the purpose of writing the text A. To clarify a concept. B. To illustrate a phenomenon.C. To examine a viewpoint. D. To make a proposal.【答案】8. D 9. B 10. C 11. D【解析】【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章围绕“批判性忽视”展开论述，列举了实现它的两个策略及其重要性。【8题详解】推理判断题。根据第一段“With such an overabundance of information, we need to first decide what’s worth our attention and time, and what’s not.(面对如此丰富的信息，我们首先需要决定哪些值得我们花时间和精力，哪些不值得)”可知，“critical ignoring”指的是在大量的信息中我们要能分辨出有价值的信息和无用的信息。“Rob Peter to pay Paul”表示“拆东墙补西墙”，Make something out of nothing表示“无中生有”，Birds of a feather flock together表示“物以类聚，人以群分”，Separate the sheep from the goats表示“分辨好坏”，D项强调分辨能力，符合“critical ignoring”的描述。故选D项。【9题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段“This involves avoiding low-quality information so that we have more quality time for ourselves.(这包括避免低质量的信息，这样我们就有更多属于自己的高质量时间)”及最后一句“When you do go into social media, Kozyreva recommends setting time limits, which prevents you from losing track of time as you click on one attractive link after another.(当你进入社交媒体时，Kozyreva建议设置时间限制，这样可以防止你在点击一个又一个吸引人的链接时忘记时间)”可知，作者认为在使用该策略时，要有良好的时间管理观念，避免浪费时间在无用的信息上，以便节约更多时间在高质量的信息处理上。故选B项。【10题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段前三句“The next strategy is lateral reading. Its purpose is to improve judgments about the reliability of information, and to protect you from false and misleading information. The strategy involves opening a new web page to find out more about the source of the information.(下一个策略是横向阅读。其目的是提高对信息可靠性的判断，并保护您免受虚假和误导性信息的影响。该策略包括打开一个新的网页，以找到更多关于信息来源的信息)”及最后一句“A sensational claim may provide a link with a headline that seems to support it, but a careful reading of the original source shows it doesn’t.(一个耸人听闻的说法可能会提供一个似乎支持它的标题链接，但仔细阅读原始来源就会发现事实并非如此)”可知，横向阅读包括找到更多信息来源的消息，而阅读这些原始文本可以提供可靠的信息。故选C项。【11题详解】推理判断题。根据第一段“But in the digital age, according to Anastasia Kozyreva, a German psychologist, an even more important skill is “critical ignoring.”(但德国心理学家Anastasia Kozyreva表示，在数字时代，一项更重要的技能是“批判性忽视”)”；第二段第一句“The first strategy is self-nudging.(第一种策略是自我推动)”；第三段第一句“The next strategy is lateral reading.(下一个策略是横向阅读)”及第四段最后一句“Train our critical ignoring skills and we can get the benefits of the internet while we avoid falling victim to those who try to control our attention.(训练我们的批判性忽视技能，我们可以从互联网中获益，同时避免成为那些试图控制我们注意力的人的受害者)”可知，作者提出一个建议——批判性忽视，并列举了实现它的两个策略及其重要性。故选D项。DMutual cooperation in which humans cooperate with wild animals is extremely rare. One such system involves the greater honeyguide, a small African bird that leads humans to sources of honey. Once a nest is found, the human honey hunters break into it to obtain honey and bee worms, and the birds benefit from consuming beeswax in the now-exposed honey comb. Both the birds and the humans use specialized sounds to communicate their availability to participate in this cooperative interaction.The two areas studied by Spottiswoode and Wood are northern Mozambique, where the honey hunters are from the Yao cultural group, and northern Tanzania, where the honey hunters are from the Hadza culture. The Yao communicate with honeyguides using a short and high-pitched sound followed by a low sound “brrrrhm”, whereas the Hadza use a melodic whistle. Thus, signal and response both vary geographically.Spotiswoode and Wood propose that the geographic variation they have identified in this mutualism is the product of cultural codevelopment. To qualify as cultural, the cooperative behaviors would have to be acquired through social learning from individuals of the same species. Social learning, however, is less of a given on the honeyguide side. Instead, what is required of honeyguides is another form of vocal learning—comprehension learning—in which the meaning of a signal is prehension learning is common in birds. Whether social learning is involved, however, is not so obvious.Honeyguides put in considerable effort helping their human partners find food and are faithfully rewarded by being given food in return. In some human cultures, honey hunters purposefully leave out honeycomb to reward honeyeaters, but in others the hunters go, to great length to deny the birds any reward, by collecting, burying, or burning any honeycomb exposed when they destroy a nest. The reason given for these act s is that keeping the birds hungry causes them to continue guiding.A promising question for future research is whether geographic differences in human cultural preferences for rewarding or not rewarding honeyguides affect the preferences of individual birds for guiding versus taking advantage of the guiding of others.12. What is the purpose of mentioning the two areas in Paragraph 2 A. To prove that honey hunting is very popular in their culture.B. To explain that birds can understand various human cultures.C. To illustrate the differences between the Yao and the Hadza.D. To show that communication methods differ in geography.13. Why do some hunters refuse to give honeyguides any prizes A. To let them realize human’s power. B. To make them keep providing help.C. To cause them to burn honeycomb. D. To use the honeycomb themselves.14. What can be inferred from the passage A. Honeyguides have already had strong skills of social learning.B. Honeyguides have a genetic tendency to guide humans for honey.C. Humans and honeyguides have a mutually beneficial relationship.D. Human honey hunters will lose their jobs without honeyguides.15. What is likely to be discussed in the following paragraph A. The impact of human cultural preferences on honeyguide behavior.B. The further study on the cultural differences in human preferences.C. The ecologically rewarding consequences of honeyguide behavior.D. The influence of honeyguide behavior on human cultural practices.【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. A【解析】【导语】本文为一篇说明文，主要介绍了人类与野生动物之间的相互合作，特别是人类与一种叫做蜜鴷的非洲小鸟之间的合作关系。12题详解】推理判断题。根据文章第二段“The two areas studied by Spottiswoode and Wood are northern Mozambique, where the honey hunters are from the Yao cultural group, and northern Tanzania, where the honey hunters are from the Hadza culture. The Yao communicate with honeyguides using a short and high-pitched sound followed by a low sound “brrrrhm”, whereas the Hadza use a melodic whistle. Thus, signal and response both vary geographically.(Spottiswoode和Wood研究的两个地区是莫桑比克北部，那里的采蜜人来自瑶族文化群体；坦桑尼亚北部，那里的采蜜人来自哈扎族文化。瑶族人用一种短而高的声音与蜜 交流，然后是一种低沉的声音brrrrhm，而哈扎族人则用一种旋律优美的哨子。因此，信号和反应在地理上都是不同的)”可推知，本段提到这两个地域的目的是解释沟通方式在地理上的差异。故选D。【13题详解】细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“In some human cultures, honey hunters purposefully leave out honeycomb to reward honeyeaters, but in others the hunters go, to great length to deny the birds any reward, by collecting, burying, or burning any honeycomb exposed when they destroy a nest. The reason given for these act s is that keeping the birds hungry causes them to continue guiding.(在一些人类文化中，采蜜人会故意留下蜂巢来奖励采蜜者，但在另一些人类文化中，采蜜人会不遗余力地收集、掩埋或焚烧在破坏蜂巢时暴露出来的蜂巢，从而不给鸟类任何奖励。这些行为的原因是，让鸟类保持饥饿可以使它们继续导航)”可知，有些猎人拒绝给蜜鴷任何奖励是为了让它们继续提供帮助。故选B。【14题详解】推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“Honeyguides put in considerable effort helping their human partners find food and are faithfully rewarded by being given food in return.(蜜 付出了相当大的努力来帮助它们的人类伴侣寻找食物，并忠实地得到食物作为回报)”可推知，人类和蜜 有着互惠互利的关系。故选C。【15题详解】推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“A promising question for future research is whether geographic differences in human cultural preferences for rewarding or not rewarding honeyguides affect the preferences of individual birds for guiding versus taking advantage of the guiding of others.(未来研究的一个有希望的问题是，人类对奖励或不奖励蜜 的文化偏好的地理差异是否会影响单个鸟对引导的偏好，而不是利用其他鸟的引导)”可推知，接下来会讨论人类文化偏好对于蜜 行为的影响。故选A。第二节(共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。The process of sorting through my childhood stuff started out easy.

My mom really improved her cooking from the roasted slice of pork and frozen-veggies dinners that I had fallen in love with. Dad said he had never eaten so well.My dad had been an IBM guy, who often said, “People never change,” but he became skilled in overall treatments and began to take well-informed control of his own course of action. I wasn’t thinking too much of his changes, but he had survived cancer for over 10 years, constantly learning, running his charity golf events, doing a bit of travel and always looking pleasant and smiling.My dad and I decorated a farmhouse in 2012, and I started taking care of the orchard (果园), shaping rows for crops and a herb garden, and learning to care for four red hens. Bringing farm-fresh food to my family was a way I could contribute to dad’s health as well as his enjoyment of life, take a little work off my mom’s hands, and sit and chat about something other than cancer.The idea for this business came from what we learned about the role of food in health. My dad’s doctor told him that eating fresh produce could help resist cancer. Dad helped me set up the farm and worked till just a few days before he passed. But all of what I do here is based on experience, research, and strong values.We learned more than I ever wanted to know. But the goals of this farm developed as we learned, and here we have it: Produce with a purpose — fresh produce, grown for disease-fighting and preventive health value, delivered with easy but crazy — delicious recipes as well as support, encouragement, overall thinking and even a bit of humor.4. Which of the following food did the author like in the past A. Organic food. B. Fresh vegetables. C. Barbecued meat. D. Fast-food meal.5. What did the author think of his dad A. He was unwilling to change. B. He was crazy about adventures.C He was unconcerned about his disease. D. He was positive about challenges.6. What inspired the author and his dad to start the farm A. The pressure of his mother. B. The suggestions of a doctor.C. The deadly cancer of his dad. D. The great harvest on the farm.7. What is the best title A. A cure for cancer.B. A dream of my family.C. A purposeful farm.D. The value of fresh produce.CIn the days before the internet, critical thinking was the most important skill that informed citizens could have. But in the digital age, according to Anastasia Kozyreva, a German psychologist, an even more important skill is “critical ignoring.” With such an overabundance of information, we need to first decide what’s worth our attention and time, and what’s not.The first strategy is self-nudging. This involves avoiding low-quality information so that we have more quality time for ourselves. It also involves the removal of distracting things from the environment around you. Of course, we need to stay informed of world events, so we can’t just ignore the internet altogether. When you do go into social media, Kozyreva recommends setting time limits, which prevents you from losing track of time as you click on one attractive link after another.The next strategy is lateral (横向的) reading. Its purpose is to improve judgments about the reliability of information, and to protect you from false and misleading information. The strategy involves opening a new web page to find out more about the source of the information. Likewise, it’s also good to check the source of the information in an internet post. Headlines are often cheating. They’re designed to attract attention, not provide information. The main idea of the article may be completely contrary to the implication in the headline. A sensational claim may provide a link with a headline that seems to support it, but a careful reading of the original source shows it doesn’t.We live in a digital age in which we’re overwhelmed with information, much of it of poor quality. Train our critical ignoring skills and we can get the benefits of the internet while we avoid falling victim to those who try to control our attention.8. Which of the following saying can best describe “critical ignoring” A. Rob Peter to pay Paul. B. Make something out of nothing.C. Birds of a feather flock together. D. Separate the sheep from the goats.9. What does the author suggest for applying self-nudging strategy A. Improving study equipment. B. Managing our own time well.C. Avoiding access to social media. D. Staying informed of what happened.10. How can we ensure the reliability of information in an article A. By focusing solely on headlines. B. By randomly browsing through posts.C. By seeking out primary information. D. By consulting authorities for advice.11. What is the purpose of writing the text A. To clarify a concept. B. To illustrate a phenomenon.C. To examine a viewpoint. D. To make a proposal.DMutual cooperation in which humans cooperate with wild animals is extremely rare. One such system involves the greater honeyguide, a small African bird that leads humans to sources of honey. Once a nest is found, the human honey hunters break into it to obtain honey and bee worms, and the birds benefit from consuming beeswax in the now-exposed honey comb. Both the birds and the humans use specialized sounds to communicate their availability to participate in this cooperative interaction.The two areas studied by Spottiswoode and Wood are northern Mozambique, where the honey hunters are from the Yao cultural group, and northern Tanzania, where the honey hunters are from the Hadza culture. The Yao communicate with honeyguides using a short and high-pitched sound followed by a low sound “brrrrhm”, whereas the Hadza use a melodic whistle. Thus, signal and response both vary geographically.Spotiswoode and Wood propose that the geographic variation they have identified in this mutualism is the product of cultural codevelopment. To qualify as cultural, the cooperative behaviors would have to be acquired through social learning from individuals of the same species. Social learning, however, is less of a given on the honeyguide side. Instead, what is required of honeyguides is another form of vocal learning—comprehension learning—in which the meaning of a signal is prehension learning is common in birds. Whether social learning is involved, however, is not so obvious.Honeyguides put in considerable effort helping their human partners find food and are faithfully rewarded by being given food in return. In some human cultures, honey hunters purposefully leave out honeycomb to reward honeyeaters, but in others the hunters go, to great length to deny the birds any reward, by collecting, burying, or burning any honeycomb exposed when they destroy a nest. The reason given for these act s is that keeping the birds hungry causes them to continue guiding.A promising question for future research is whether geographic differences in human cultural preferences for rewarding or not rewarding honeyguides affect the preferences of individual birds for guiding versus taking advantage of the guiding of others.12 What is the purpose of mentioning the two areas in Paragraph 2 A. To prove that honey hunting is very popular in their culture.B. To explain that birds can understand various human cultures.C. To illustrate the differences between the Yao and the Hadza.D. To show that communication methods differ in geography.13. Why do some hunters refuse to give honeyguides any prizes A. To let them realize human’s power. B. To make them keep providing help.C. To cause them to burn honeycomb. D. To use the honeycomb themselves.14. What can be inferred from the passage A. Honeyguides have already had strong skills of social learning.B. Honeyguides have a genetic tendency to guide humans for honey.C. Humans and honeyguides have a mutually beneficial relationship.D. Human honey hunters will lose their jobs without honeyguides.15. What is likely to be discussed in the following paragraph A. The impact of human cultural preferences on honeyguide behavior.B. The further study on the cultural differences in human preferences.C. The ecologically rewarding consequences of honeyguide behavior.D. The influence of honeyguide behavior on human cultural practices.第二节(共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。The process of sorting through my childhood stuff started out easy.
