第一节　(共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分)

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

People often wonder about some of the best places to see.A good point of reference is to first look at attractions labeled as UNESCO World Heritage Sites.These sites are culturally or physically significant places listed by the United Nations for their importance to humanity as a whole.Let's see some of them!
The Mogao Caves，China
Also known as the Mogao Grottoes，the caves are located along the cliffside（峭壁） above the Daquan River in Gansu province.First built in 366 and comprising 492 caves，the Mogao Caves are known as the biggest collection of Buddhist art in the world.As a landmark or the historic Sick Road，the Mogao Caves are a perfect display of Chinese art history over a period of a thousand years.
Redwood National Park，US
Lying in the mountainous region north of San Francisco in California，US.，the Redwood National Park is significant for its collection of redwood trees —the tallest and oldest trees in the world—as well as its variety of sea and land wildlife.Once abundant throughout the temperate（气候温和） regions of the world，the Redwood trees of California are among the only living examples left of this old plant species，a bíological group which has existed for 160 million years.
Machu Picchu，Peru
Situated in the Andes Mountains，this fascinating ancient city is remarkable both for its beautiful setting as well as its use of complex city planning.Standing at 2，430 meters above sea level，the city of Machu Picchu is covered with both mist and mystery.Researchers have yet to uncover the city's role in the Incan（印加族的） empire's use of astronomy and plant domestication（驯化）.

You know those lovely little ears of corn that show up in some of your favorite Chinese take-out dishes？Ever wondered how they grow so small？Are there tiny little farmers out somewhere taking care of tiny cornfields？Are they specially grown to be tiny or are they just little baby regular corn？Well the answer is that they truly are just baby ears of regular corn.The corn is harvested in an early stage from nearly any variety of regular-sized corn plant.
There's evidence showing that humans' love for miniature（微型的）things can date back 3000 years.By the 1400s，miniature things had become more popular，with painters like Jean Fouquet creating images only7.5 centimeters wide.Somewhere along the way，our fascination with things in miniature from goats and owls to tiny houses came to include vegetables，too.
Baby carrots，little ears of corn，and micro greens are common today from fresh produce and frozen meals to take-out and fancy restaurant foods.But where do those tiny vegetables come from？It tums out，a vegetable packaged，sold or served as a baby may actually be a young vegetable-or it may not.It's also entirely possible that a baby vegetable is a dwarf（侏儒）or hybrid version of a full-sized vegetable.
Baby bok choy for example，is a young vegetable that is harvested early for its tender and mild qualities.However there also are dwarf varieties of baby bok choy that have a similar look and taste to their early-harvested cousins.
There are about 50 different types of vegetables that are grown or imported as miniatures in the United States.And while the United States produces the most com in the world，it imports almost all of its baby com from other countries.Thailand produces the most baby corn，followed by Sir Lanka.

Architecture（建筑）firm Bua Studio recently turned a used barn（谷仓） in Iceland into an artist's studio and home.Titled Hloduberg Artist's Studio.the project includes work spaces on the lower level and the living area above.The architects carefully worked with the barn's original structure（结构）o protect the walls and make good use of the other parts.
The completed project looks interesting with a range of materials.On the lower level，the old walls of the barn contrast with the light wood structure within.Above，cold-rolled steel structure protects the second level from the strong winds.This part of the new addition is finished with an enabled roof，adding more interest to the interior（内部）。
Within the existing barn the architects fit a kitchen and dining area.Also on the first level is a double-height artist's studio after which the project is named.The rest of the original structure o the bam now acts as a garden wall in the courtyard.
The architects didn't want to create big changes even to the areas of the barn that were safe enough for further construction.Small openings were made to prevent the influence on the structure.Still，shots of the interior show a beautiful light space，partially lit with openings coming from the second level in the double height studio.
"We added two big openings because we needed to let more light into the kitchen and an entrance to the studio to get in large at works." say the architects.
The interior of the building is made up of a much lighter color palette with white wood board on the walls and floor and other cool colors.Much of the furniture and larger design were inspired by local design of the area in Iceland.

第二节　(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

Why do we like somebody else？One factor（因素） may be intelligence.It could be assumed that people generally like other people better if they're smarter，as they might be more interesting to talk to. 36 ______ If someone is too smart，somebody with lower intelligence may not like them as they might feel that they look worse in comparison.In contrast，a really smart person might feel that somebody with lower intelligence is less likable.
37______ In the study，researcher Maria Flakus and her team analyzed data gathered from Polish high school students.The results of the study indicated that being intelligent influenced both being liked and liking others.Interestingly，it did so in opposite ways.38______ However，they tended to like fewer people than less intelligent students.Specifically，smart students had a tendency to only like others that were as smart as themselves.
Importantly，the effect of liking others due to their intelligence was strongest during the first test and became weaker over time.Thus，over time，the importance of intelligence in building social relationships decreases. 39______ The researchers suggest that over time，knowing about the shared interests of others may be a more important factor in liking than knowing they're smart.
In contrast，the effect of smart students only liking others that were equally intelligent remained significant over the course of the year，although it became a bit weaker.The researchers warn that this may lead to intelligent students being seen as isolated（孤立的） by others.This may become problematic if the smart students are viewed as too proud. 40_____
A.Instead，other factors become more important.
B.Smart people in the study tended to like nobody.
C.Intelligent students were liked better by their classmates.
D.The relationship between intelligence and being liked is complex.
E.A recent study looked into the link between intelligence and being liked，
F.But this association may also be a function of the intelligence of both people.
G.Thus，smart people may wish to be careful to take care of their social relationships.

Karl walked to the back of the classroom to put his book away.There，lying on the carpet in front of the bookcase，was a golden ticket!He picked it up.His heart beat faster when he saw that the name line was blank.
The boys and girls in Karl's class could earn golden tickets by doing well in their work or by being extra helpful or kind.Once a week his teacher，Miss Evans，drew a ticket out of a jar，and let the winner choose a prize.Karl couldn't believe his luck.
The golden ticket was going to be drawn，and here was another ticket，just for him.He looked around，but no one else was near the ticket.All his classmates were at their desks，laughing and talking with each other.
Karl decided to write his name on the blank line.Then he could put it into the prize jar with the tickets he'd already earned.With so many chances，at least one of his tickets would be picked!Then he could choose the pink pig as his sister's birthday present，just like what he had been hoping for.
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.
He looked out of the window and tried to figure it out（弄明白）.He did find the ticket，but he hadn't earned it.Maybe whoever lost it was looking for it.But he needed this extra ticket for his great plan!
He remembered what Dad had told him and his sister. "When you make a right choice，you can feel peaceful inside.You never have to feel bad about your choice later."
Paragraph 1：
He put the pencil back in his pocket.

The Person I Admire Most The person I admire most is Thomas Edison.He was once thought to be a boy who was not worth educating.In fact，he was a man full of imagination.
I admire Edison a lot because of his great contribution to the world.He had more than 1，000 inventions.In his life time，he was always eager to know how things worked，which helped him to earn the nickname "the Wizard of Melo Park". He was also so diligent that he worked day and night.And this explained why he had so many great inventions.
What impresses me most is his famous saying， "Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration."  Probably I can't be an Edison myself，but I can be a hardworking learner.From him，I realize the secret to success is not when or where you were born，but what you are doing and how you do it in your life.

This is why he is worthy of admiration.

Paragraph 1：
He put the pencil back in his pocket.And then he walked over to his teacher's desk. "Miss Evans，I found this golden ticket on the floor near the bookcase.I think somebody has lost it.I did find the ticket，but I haven't earned it.And these are mine，" he said，dropping several tickets into the jar on his teacher's desk.When he turned around to leave，Miss Evans called him back.

 Paragraph 2：
    "Karl，I'd like you to have another ticket，" Miss Evans said. "You were honest and returned this one.By the way，what prize would you choose if your ticket was drawn？The big candy bar or the fire truck？" Karl said happily right away. "The pink pig!It's my sister's birthday next week，and I really want to give it to her.That's her favorite animal." Karl sat down at his desk and smiled.He still wanted his ticket to be picked，but he would be happy even if it wasn't.Dad was right.Making the right choice did make him feel great，and maybe，he still might win the pink pig.
