B
The race skywards began in America. In the late 1800s, industrialization had driven urban
populations and land prices up, making tall buildings increasingly cost-effective. Like all major
shifts in architecture, the trend was supported by engineering. The development of steel frames made it easier to build tall. The invention of the lift, meanwhile, made living in higher floors far more convenient.
Though similar in shape, today's skyscrapers look little like those built in the first half of the
20th century. This is mostly thanks to the curtain wall. Postwar developments in manufacturing (制
造) meant that huge sheets of glass could be produced quickly and uniformly, and the curtain wall
soon became the front of high-rises. As well as allowing for greater floor space and more natural
light, glass surfaces help buildings bear greater wind loads.
There are now 191 completed skyscrapers that are at least 300 meters tall. But that doesn't
mean our cities will grow taller indefinitely. While each additional story adds sellable floor space,
construction costs also rise. All buildings reach a point where adding an extra floor will cost more
money than it generates.
This reality can certainly be felt in America. Though skyscrapers began as a US phenomenon
and continued increasing there in the 1960s and 1970s, the Middle East and Asia now dominate
high-rise construction. This is partly due to the lower construction costs in Asian and other
non-Western countries. However, it may also demonstrate that skyscrapers are about more than the
return on investment---they are a matter of branding. And in some cities, building tall can be a
necessity.
The next big challenge facing architects goes beyond height: At a time when buildings and their construction account for more than a third of the world's energy consumption and contribute about 40% of greenhouse gas emission (排放)，there are new environment-friendly costs to consider.
24. What caused the race skywards in America in the late 1800s?
A. The expansion of the city land.
B. The preference for higher floors.
C. The development of engineering.
D. The decreased price of steel frames.
25. What's the function of the curtain wall?
A. To beautify the skyscrapers.
B. To reflect more natural light.
C. To make skyscrapers more secure.
D. To promote manufacturing industry.
26. "This reality" in Paragraph 4 probably refers to the fact that______
A.191 skyscrapers have been completed
B. cities limit the height of tall buildings
C. cities are desperate to create a brand of skyscrapers
D. profits decrease with buildings reaching certain heights
27. According to the last paragraph, many skyscraper architects will have to_____
A. lower construction costs
B. reduce carbon emission
C. define energy consumption
D. research greenhouse effects
C
When you're feeling low or even a little depressed, what do you want to do? The answer for
most of us is not very much. Our natural response to a bad mood is to rest with our comfort of choice
and hibernate (蛰伏) a bit.
But according to new science, the best way to fight off the depression is to force yourself to get out there and do something new. You might have to drag yourself off the sofa, but this research
shows you'll be happier for the effort.
For the study, the research followed the daily movements of 122 study subjects, using the
location-tracking features of their phones for three to four months. They also sent subjects regular
text messages asking them to report on their mood.
The scientists discovered the more people visited new and different locations, the happier they
felt both that day and the next. Variety and novelty seem to lift our mood. “We also find that if we
feel better today, we're likely to move around and have more novel experiences and have more
experiential diversity the following day," study coauthor and NYU psychology professor Catherine
Hartley said.
"These results suggest a reciprocal link between the novel and diverse experiences we have
during our daily exploration of our physical environments and our subjective sense of well-being."
Hartley commented.
This isn't the first time science has linked new experiences with positive brain benefits.
Previous studies have shown that new and challenging experiences light up learning centers in the
brain. Just as experience has probably taught you, you learn a lot faster when you get outside your
comfort zone. If you've been stuck at home a lot lately, it's no shock that you feel lazy. Your brain is missing out on the novelty and exploration it desires. The good news is, if you can force yourself to do something new, you'll feel you can grow smarter.
28. According to new science, what should we do to lift our spirits?
A. Explore the outside world B. Have a complete rest
C. Choose to enjoy our hobbies D. Stay in the comfort zone
29. How did the researchers conduct the study?
A. By phoning the subjects.
B. By analyzing the subjects' locations.
C. By referring to previous relevant studies.
D. By tracking the subjects' movements and moods.
30.“A reciprocal link" in Paragraph 5 means a link that proves _______.
A. strong but temporary B. weak and indirect
C. beneficial to each other D. suitable for each other
31. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?
A. Novelty improves learning effectiveness.
B. It's harmful to get stuck at home too long.
C. Your brain desires novelty and exploration.
D. Exploration is linked with positive emotions.
D
I wonder if I'm getting to be transparent. I can see waiters, but they can't see me. Ticket agents
look right through me at the person next in line. I have the same feeling when I try to catch the
attention of salesgirls, taxi drivers and my wife.
I'm substantial enough, maybe a little too substantial in places. And there's an undeniable air of authority about the way I stride (阔步) into a restaurant, pull my neck tie into place and signal the headwaiter. The headwaiter's glance sweeps my way, then comes to rest on a section of flowered
wallpaper directly behind me. He considers it for a moment, and looks away. Five minutes later I
manage to catch his eye. He strides in my direction, takes a menu from the pile at my elbow (肘) and walks back across the room. Another 10 minutes pass, and our eyes meet head-on. His face lights and he hurries toward me, saying to the couple right beside me: "This way, please."
Maybe I could arouse interest by pulling off the tablecloth. Maybe the best plan is to get up and start out of the restaurant without paying---a trick which never fails to earn me the whole attention of every waiter in the place.
On the other hand, people have no trouble making me out when I don't want them to. I never
can avoid a friend who's been having a little bad luck lately and who would like to borrow some
money. I'll spot him half a block away, and cross the street to the other side. He crosses at the same
time. I stop and stare at a store window until he has passed, but his eye encounters mine in the
reflection of the glass. I lend him the money, but from the moment on he can't see me.
32. What can we learn about the author from paragraphs 2 and 3?
A. He cares about his appearance. B. He feels ignored by the waiter.
C. He usually flees without paying. D. He often puts on an air of pride.
33. In his opinion, the author can be seen when _______.
A. expected to offer help B. enjoying others' service
C. caught borrowing money D. suffering a little bad luck
34. What's the tone of the passage?
A. Serious. B. Humorous. C. Cautious. D. Anxious,
35. Which of the following is a suitable title for the passage?
A. I'm a nobody B. There is nowhere to hide
C. Am I a reliable friend? D. Has anybody seen me lately?

Do you believe in aliens? During the 1980s, hundreds of mysterious circles appeared in fields
all over England. Many people thought they were created by aliens from outer space. What were
these circles? 36
Scaring Circles
Hundreds of geometrical patterns appeared in the middle of English wheat fields like magic.
The most common theory was that they were made by spaceships. Two scientists, Pete Delgado and
Colin Andrews, became crazy about the subject. 37 By the end of the 1980s, crop circles
had become a mystery; and there were regular reports in the press and on television.
Conflict
38 Some believed the circles had been caused by animals such as deer, while others
claimed the circles were caused by helicopters. Specialists thought the symbols were from ancient
writings. However, no one could really offer a convincing explanation. Eventually, the Koestler
Foundation offered 5,000 pounds for a definitive solution.
The Peak
1990 was the golden year for the crop circles. Delgado and Andrews released their bestseller
“Circular Evidence". And a team of scientists arrived to record circle-making in action. That year,
the crop circles were even more complex than the ones before. The hit of the year came on 12th July
when a huge circle appeared in a field at Alton Barnes. 39 But the mystery was about to
be settled.
An Explanation
One day that same year, a group of famous circle exports set up monitoring equipment on a hill in Wiltshire. 40 Amazingly, the next day six circles appeared in a field just below them,
without the team recording anything. Worse still, when the researchers entered the circles, they
found man-made tools in the centre of each circle, which seemed to prove that the circles had been
made by humans.
A. And who had made them?
B. The answers puzzled many people.
C. Crop specialists were as confused as ever.
D. Since then, a great many more crop circles have appeared.
E. They were hoping to record the formation of a crop circle.
F. Apart from the alien theories, there were other suggestions too.
G. They were convinced the circles were the work of an “unknown intelligence".

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。
My parents love the saying “If at first you don't succeed, try, try again" so much that they even
bought a pillow with those words on it. But I was recently in a situation where I was SO ready to
give up.
It started last week when my friend Ollie and I were helping his grandmother Mary to carry
boxes from her garage to her car for the homeless shelter rummage sale (义卖).
At the sight of a big old trunk (行李箱)，we asked Mary what was inside. But she told us that as she had lost the key, she had to find a master locksmith to figure it out. "Let me have a try!" said
Ollie. “I bet I can open that lock in two minutes flat! Maybe there's a treasure inside, like gold or
diamonds or an ancient map!"
Mary smiled. "I'll tell you what. If you two treasure hunters can open this trunk, you can have it, along with whatever is inside."
Ollie got a tool kit and we set out to open the lock. But he definitely lost that bet. Those two
minutes turned into two hours, with no luck at all. We had tried every tool in the kit, but the lock
wouldn't move slightly.
“It's no use." Ollie sighed. "I guess we have to give up."
“But we can't give up!" I said. "What about 'If at first you don't succeed, try, try again"?"
Ollie shook his head. "Unless you know a magical key fairy, we're never getting this
unlocked."
Just then, my little brother Tex showed up. He showed great interest in the trunk. "It looks like
an upside-down boat! Can I turn it over and pretend I'm sailing in the ocean?"
"Sure," Ollie replied. "It's no good for anything else."
“Ahoy!" Tex said, climbing on top after Ollie and I turned it over. “I’m the captain!” He giggled
as he jumped up and down. And right then, a screw (螺丝) from a hinge (铰链) came loose and
rolled to the floor.
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。

“That's it! I know how to open it!" said Ollie.

Oh! There were only lots of shoes in the trunk!

“That’s it! I know how to open it!” said Ollie. “These are regular screws. We could remove the screws so that the hinge can be taken off from the trunk!” he exclaimed with a radiant smile. Just now, we were so focused on the lock that we didn’t try to open the trunk another way. Then we asked Tex to jump off the trunk, and turned it upright. Ollie immediately took out a screwdriver from the tool kit. In two minutes flat, he opened the trunk with my assistance. (79 words)
Oh! There were only lots of shoes in the trunk! Ollie and I were pretty disappointed at the discovery, which wasn’t diamonds or gold. Seeing our frustration, Mary patted us on the shoulder, saying, “These shoes are in such great shape that we can raise money by selling them at the rummage sale.” Our faces lit up and a sense of achievement crept over us. We found “treasure” after all! Our persistence finally paid off! If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again. (73 words)

W: Different countries have different waste management systems. One thing for sure: it’s never too hard to throw your garbage in Indonesia. What Indonesians commonly do is put their garbage in their personal garbage area which are usually located in the front of their houses, right at the side of the street. In Germany, different kinds of garbage are put in different colored cans. For example, blue garbage cans are for paper and cardboard, and pizza boxes go to gray garbage cans. Green and white garbage cans are for glass. Yellow garbage cans are for plastic and metals. In Korea, you are expected to sort your waste and put it into the right bags. Each district in Korea has its own official garbage bags. The garbage bags could be bought at the local supermarket. Proper waste management isn’t a hard thing to do, but it needs to be supported by your family members and your surroundings in order to gain benefits from it.
