学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________

一、阅读理解
Whether we live in an urban studio, or a modest-size home filled with people, space in our homes can be hard to come by. Even without a lot of stuff, keeping everything organized presents a challenge. To make the most of the space you have, incorporate these clever ideas that may help.
Double up. Consider multipurpose for every piece of furniture. Buying a coffee table? Get one with storage drawers beneath, or use a large basket topped with a pretty serving tray instead. If you need a bench, choose one that includes under-seat storage for, say, some magazines.
Get high. Always consider vertical (32H J) space. Shelves high on walls can store books, photo albums or holiday decorations. Hanging hooks for pots and pans can give you back whole kitchen cabinets, and hooks on walls provide a spot for jackets, belts or keys. Shadow boxes on bathroom walls can house pretty perfume bottles, lotions and toiletries.
Sink a basket. Baskets can help organize every area of your home. You can toss hardware tools, all the kids’ toys or several pairs of sandals in large baskets. Stick small containers in kitchen drawers to keep pens, rubber bands, stickers and magnifying glass organized.
Top drawer. A set of drawers beneath stairs can make use of otherwise-wasted floor space especially for articles not, so often used. DIY Life offers instructions for three ways of adding under-stair storage. Get them at naturalhomeand garden.com/smart-storage.
1．What is the purpose of “double up”?
A．To make use of space on the wall. B．To leave more space on the floor.
C．To keep small articles in drawers. D．To generate more functions of furniture.
2．Which can be a good solution to storing rarely-used items?
A．Double up. B．Get high. C．Sink a basket. D．Top drawer.
3．Where is the text probably from?
A．A magazine. B．An advertisement.
C．A news report. D．A tour guidebook.

An important life lesson that I’ve drawn from running is to run at my own pace. It has guided me in many ways. In particular, it made me challenge the fixed expectations of retirement and aging.
Running is a metaphor (隐喻) for life. I realized this while training for a marathon to celebrate my 60th birthday. All the other runners being faster than me made me embarrassed. But my coach shared some valuable advice; run at your own best pace. Setting a goal or target time could be a limitation. He was right. Over time, I ran more easily and faster. I also enjoyed the experience much more.
I have applied this principle to other areas of my life. Finding a rhythm is not about efficiency or how many things I can get done in a day. It has more to do with what I decide to do at this stage in my life.
Running carries its own set of expectations, including what it means to be a strong runner. But expectations also extend to other areas of life, including what people at certain life stages should be doing or not doing. Expectations at my age can center on how leisure time is spent, decisions about employment, and even the role of a grandmother.
I used to think it was young people who bore peer pressure, but it’s easy to view retirement as another occupation with benchmarks (基准) to be met. We often make what someone else does the reference point. It’s a comparison trap.
Forget what others are doing. Their pace is not necessarily the pace you should run at. Run in your own way. It’s not better or worse — only different.
4．What does the author intend to tell in paragraph 2?
A．The origin of a life principle. B．Her misunderstanding of running.
C．The importance of life expectations. D．Her unpleasant training experience.
5．What does the author think about life expectations?
A．They are vital for retired people. B．They vary at different life stages.
C．They cover every decision in life. D．They are usually too high to fulfill.
6．What can we infer from paragraph 5?
A．Young people often compete with old people. B．Retired people take up bad occupations.
C．Retired people are also under peer pressure. D．A comparison trap makes young people stronger.
7．What message does the author mainly want to convey?
A．Retirement can’t stop old people’s dreams.
B．People should live life to the fullest.
C．People should live at their own speed.
D．Running at a fixed pace is beneficial to retired people.

Today, battery power per kilowatt hour costs around only ten per cent of what it did a decade ago. And the expectation is that the costs will continue to fall, because battery chemistry improves and manufacturing (批量生产) lots of batteries on a massive scale makes the production of individual batteries cheaper.
You can be forgiven for thinking that this might only be of interest to accountants, but the possible effects of this are enormous, and will benefit all of us. First and most obviously, it has made the batteries in electric cars cheaper and longer-lasting. And brilliantly, because electric batteries are improving so dramatically, we can already see the results. Last September, 15 per cent of all-new vehicle registrations were pure electric vehicles. So the change is starting to happen.
Better batteries does not just mean better cars however. They can also help us decarbonise the entire national grid (输电网). Storing energy has always been a problem for the grid. Today, only a tiny amount of generated electricity is stored for later use, which leads to lots of power going to waste. But better batteries make it technologically and economically viable to store large amounts of energy from the grid.
It’s possible that in the not-too-distant future, we might have an enormous battery in the garage. It would take power from the grid (or maybe even solar panels on the roof), and power appliances and lights in our homes at the times when demand for electricity is high. Home batteries are not yet as established as electric cars » but-they are also growing in popularity.
So, given how much technology has improved batteries over the last decade, I can’t help but be strangely optimistic about the future. Batteries may not be as flashy (华丽的) as phones, rockets or other new technologies. But when it comes to technology to fight climate change, they’re definitely leading the charge.
8．What contributes to the popularity of electric cars?
A．The production of individual batteries.
B．The longer duration and less cost of batteries.
C．Accountants’ interest in cheaper batteries.
D．The increasing vehicle registrations.
9．What does the underlined word “viable” mean in paragraph 3?
A．Cheaper. B．Dramatic. C．Workable. D．. Exceptional.
10．What does the author expect of batteries?
A．They will become smaller.
B．They will help make the world greener.
C．They will sell better than phones.
D．They will replace chargers on a lois trip.
11．Which is the most suitable title for the text?
A．Home Batteries Will Catch On -
B．Batteries Are Getting Better and Better
C．Battery Technology Needs Improving Urgently
D．Petrol-powered Cars Will Be Upgraded

Researchers have recently discovered that gut bacteria (肠道细菌) that grow within our body helps the brain build important social skills.
According to a paper published in PLOS Biology in November, zebra fish were used as research subjects to test how a lack of bacteria could affect social skills. Zebra fish are social animals as even 2-week-old fish start to hang out in groups of four to twelve.
The experiment started with making a group of fish “bacteria-free” through their diet. The other group were injected with a healthy mix of gut bacteria after they were hatched. About 15 days later, the second group began swimming in groups while the “bacteria-free” group “shockingly, didn’t,” Judith Eisen, a co-author of the new research, said to Quanta Magazine.
The team then examined the fish’s brains, discovering obvious differences between the two groups. The ones who lacked the gut bacteria had more interconnections among the neurons (神经元) in their brains in charge of social behavior, and social neurons were seen to have overgrown. This made the fish more cautious in social situations.
Scientists said that the bacteria might release a special chemical that crosses the bloodbrain barrier to reach the brain directly. Although the experiments were only on fish, the findings can theoretically be applied to humans. The team wishes to explore how gut bacteria affects the human brain in the future, which may lead to solutions to mental health problems.
Perhaps many people who claim that they have “social phobia (社交恐惧症)” can blame their guts. However, social phobia, or social anxiety disorder, can be a serious illness if overlooked. According to the National Health Service in the UK it is more than shyness but instead a constant fear of social situations. Patients may experience panic attacks which are an overwhelming fear and anxiety that last for a few minutes.
12．What does the research focus on?
A．The growth of gut bacteria.
B．The way zebra fish build social skills.
C．The influencing factors of social behavior.
D．The link between gut bacteria and social behavior.
13．What was found in the experiment?
A．The two groups of zebra fish became different in size.
B．The bacteria-free zebra fish swam in groups.
C．The zebra fish injected with gut bacteria were quieter.
D．The zebra fish with gut bacteria swam in groups.
14．How do scientists feel about their findings?
A．Positive. B．Disappointed. C．Doubtful. D．Concerned.
15．Which is true about “social phobia” according to the last paragraph?
A．It will result in gut problems. B．It is a severe illness.
C．It may cause panic. D．It is all about shyness.

47．One possible version:
After a few minutes, Jennifer noticed a strange feeling—fur. It was Darla brushing up against her face. A wave of warmth surged over Jennifer’s heart. She raised her head and found the little cat staring into her eyes, meowing gently, as if she sensed Jennifer’s pain and came to apologize. Jennifer’s tears dried out and her heart was healed by the little creature’s company. Then, a thought suddenly came to her that Darla was not the one in need of comfort, but she was.
Jennifer then reached out her hand toward the cat. Darla, suddenly aware of the hand’s presence, moved back to eye the hand cautiously, for quite a while. Then she made an attempt to approach very slowly, and finally pushed her head against the palm of Jennifer’s hand. Jennifer responded by stroking her softly, and the cat accepted. With a good stretch Darla rested happily next to her, Jennifer was clear that it was true feelings that brought them mutual trust.
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了在Jennifer心爱的棕色虎斑Marlin去世两年后，她从动物收容所领养了这只名叫Darla的猫，她拼命地想让这只猫像Marlin一样爱她，也想让自己像爱Marlin一样爱这只猫，她一直在努力通过款待和温柔的耳语来赢得这只小猫的喜爱。但是七天过去了，这只猫还是攻击她，她的胳膊被划出一条细细的血线，所以她非常沮丧，坐在地板上哭了起来。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“几分钟后，Jennifer注意到一种奇怪的感觉——软毛。”可知，第一段可描写Darla看到Jennifer在哭，于是过来在Jennifer脸上蹭来蹭去，这让Jennifer很感动，自己的心都被治愈了。
②由第二段首句内容“然后Jennifer向那只猫伸出了手。”可知，第二段可描写Darla看到Jennifer的手后，试着慢慢地靠近，把头靠在Jennifer的手掌上。他们彼此互相接受对方。
2.续写线索：感到有毛绒绒的东西——Darla蹭脸——抬头看到Darla——感动——伸手——Darla靠近——彼此接受
