Where to Eat on Christmas Day in London?
Bob Bob Ricard
The best choice for smaller child-free parties—or pairs—that think of Christmas as an excuse to enjoy distinctly adult treats, let’s say: caviar, oysters, steak, followed by cheese and fries, all washed down with wine (ordered by pressing a button, obviously).
Location: 1 Upper James St, Soho, London W1F 9DF, UK
Contact: 020 3145 1000
Min Jiang Restaurant
If a typical modern Chinese banquet (宴会) is required to refresh the family’s Christmas spirit, book a table atop the Royal Garden Hotel and look out over Hyde Park while sharing a feast that includes traditional Chinese dishes. Since it’s Christmas, it’s probably worth going all out by pre ordering a whole or hall Beijing (Peking) duck, too.
Location: 2-24 Kensington High St, Kensington, London W8 4PT, UK
Contact: 020 7361 1988
The Alexandra
A special case: The Alexandra in Wimbledon offers n wonderful Christmas dinner to anyone spending Christmas Day alone, no charge under whatever circumstances. It is a place of spirit, refuge, and generosity.
Location: 33 Wimbledon Hill Rd, Wimbledon. London SW19 7NE, UK
Contact: 020 8947 7691
The Pem
Sally Abé’s newest restaurant is serving up a classic three courses in Westminster, for £130 a head (children under six, free if accompanied by adults). Guests can choose between smoked sea fish and crab mousse or a special ham for a starter, with bee Wellington or a plate of goose coming as main dishes, followed by Christmas pudding and ice scream. We offer a 10% discount if the total cost is over £500.
Location: 22-28 Broadway, London SW1H 0BH, UK

How do you kill your time when you go to work? Most of us stare at our cell phones, and refuse to make eye contact with others. We just read, chat with others online or play games online. Or maybe we’re using the time between stops to do our makeup, catch up on emails, or read a few chapters of a book. However, Dina Alfasi takes a very different approach.
Each day she has to travel hours on buses and trains to get to her engineering job at a hospital in Israel. Rather than look at her cell phone in silence, she uses one very special way to have connection with strangers. It is portraits of the people she meets on public transport every day that she is taking. The photographs catch those quiet and personal moments of people readying themselves for the day ahead. Some people lean (倚靠) their head against the window and go to sleep, some stare into space and have a daydream, and others sit quietly to read their documents or books. Each picture catches one tiny moment in people’s lives, ripe with potential for your imagination. It is wonderful for her to look at someone’s commute (上下班) and make up an entire story about the rest of their daily existence, from the father travelling with a baby to the woman welcoming a change.
“What inspires me very much are the little moments that happen every day,” Dina told My Modern Met. “My work is to tell stories through a single portrait, and it proves that all you need is just to look around and find those magic moments.”
4. What will most people do when going to work?
A. Enjoy reading a book loudly.
B. Make eye contact with others.
C. Have face-to-face talks with others.
D. Concentrate on their mobile phones.
5. What makes Dina different from others?
A. Staring into the space and having a daydream.
B. Leaning against the window and relaxing herself.
C. Using her mobile phone to appreciate pictures she draws.
D. Drawing people while travelling on buses and trains to work.
6. Which word can best describe Dina Alfasi?
A. Cool. B. Careful.
C. Generous. D. Considerate.
7. What is the main idea of the text?
A. Little moments make Dina special.
B Cell phone is used to take special portraits.
C. Dina takes portraits of others when commuting.
D. People go to work with different ways to kill time.
【答案】4. D 5. D 6. B 7. C
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了Dina在上下班途中为别人画肖像而不是看手机。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“How do you kill your time when you go to work? Most of us stare at our cell phones, and refuse to make eye contact with others.”可知，你去上班途中怎么打发时间？我们大多数人都盯着手机，拒绝与他人进行眼神交流，由此可知，大多数人上班途中会专注于看手机，故D项正确。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Each day she has to travel hours on buses and trains to get to her engineering job at a hospital in Israel. Rather than look at her cell phone in silence, she uses one very special way to have connection with strangers. It is portraits of the people she meets on public transport every day that she is taking.”可知，每天Dina都要坐上几小时的公共汽车和火车才能在以色列的一家医院工作。她没有盯着手机看，而是用一种非常特别的方式与陌生人建立联系——为在公交或火车上遇到的人画肖像，这是Dina与别人的不同之处，故D项正确。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Each picture catches one tiny moment in people’s lives”可知，Dina画的每一张人物肖像都捕捉到了人们生活中的微小瞬间，这说明她很细心，故B项正确。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，特别是根据第二段中的“It is portraits of the people she meets on public transport every day that she is taking.”可知，本文主要讲述了Dina在上下班途中为别人画肖像而不是看手机，故C项正确。
C
There is such a thing as a free lunch, it turns out, as long as you don’t mind too much what it is. Tamara Wilson found hers a few streets away from her west London home — and as well as picking up some unwanted bread and fruit that would otherwise be thrown away, she made a new friend.
Wilson is one of 3.4 million people around the world using an app designed to encourage people to give away rather than throw away surplus (剩余的) food. “It’s such a small thing, but it makes me feel good and my neighbour feel good. And a lot of small acts can end up making a big difference,” she said.
The last few years have seen an explosion in creative ways to tackle food waste by linking supermarkets, cafes, restaurants and individual households to local communities. Olio, the app used by Wilson, saw a fivefold increase in listings during 2022, and the signs are that this rapid growth is continuing into 2023, said Tessa Clarke, its CEO and co-founder.
About a third of all food produced globally is wasted according to the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO). Almost 1.4 billion hectares of land — close to 30% of the world’s agricultural land — is dedicated to producing food that is never eaten, and the carbon footprint of food wastage makes it the third contributor of CO2. Reducing food waste is one of the most effective ways of tackling the global climate crisis.
Olio, Clarke said, was an attempt to change this on a small, local scale. “The app connects people with others who have surplus food but don’t have anyone to give it to because so many people are disconnected from their communities.” Users of Olio post images of surplus food that others in the neighbourhood might want. Olio also has a network of 24,000 volunteers who collect surplus food from local supermarkets and stores for app users to claim.
Despite the success of the app, it was hard to make a difference to the huge scale of food waste, Clarke added. “Even though we’re doing well, we’ve only scratched the surface (触及表面). But if everyone makes small changes in the world, we’d dramatically reduce the amount of food that ends up in bins (垃圾桶).”
8. What does the author want to show by telling Wilson’s story?
A. People tend to use apps to order food. B. People prefer to make friends on apps.
C. People find a high-tech fix to food waste. D. People show more concern for each other.
9. What’s the consequence of food waste according to the text?
A. Global warming. B. Loss of land. C. World hunger. D. Poverty and inequality.
10. What does Olio do to help tackle food waste?
A. It sells surplus food to those in need. B. It allows volunteers to slay connected.
C. It provides a platform for people to promote food. D. It fills the information gap between green communities.
11. What does Clarke think of the work on reducing food waste globally?
A. It is a great success. B. It requires joint efforts.
C. It is beyond human power. D. It has won public support.
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. D 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一款名为OlioApp，该应用程序主要是将有多余食物的人与需要食物的人在社区中联系起来，充分的利用过度生产未被使用的食物，减少浪费。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Wilson is one of 3.4 million people around the world using an app designed to encourage people to give away rather than throw away surplus (剩余的) food. (威尔逊是全球340万使用该应用程序的人之一，该应用程序旨在鼓励人们放弃而不是扔掉多余的食物。)”可知，威尔逊使用应用程序来捡到一些面包和水果之外，还交了一个新朋友，即通过她的故事展示人们找到了解决食物浪费的高科技方法。故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“Almost 1.4 billion hectares of land — close to 30% of the world’s agricultural land — is dedicated to producing food that is never eaten, and the carbon footprint of food wastage makes it the third contributor of CO2. Reducing food waste is one of the most effective ways of tackling the global climate crisis.( 近14亿公顷土地(接近世界农业用地的30%)用于生产从未食用的食物，而食物浪费的碳足迹使其成为二氧化碳的第三个来源。减少食物浪费是应对全球气候危机最有效的方法之一。)”可知，过度的未食用食物的生产会导致增加碳排放，由此造成全球气候危机即全球变暖。故选A。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“The app connects people with others who have surplus food but don’t have anyone to give it to because so many people are disconnected from their communities.( 这款应用程序将人们与其他有多余食物但没有人可以施舍的人联系起来，因为很多人与他们的社区脱节。)”可知，Olio作为一款app其主要是将有多余食物的人与需要食物的人在社区中联系起来，充分的利用过度生产未被使用的食物，减少浪费。由此该应用程序填补了绿色社区之间的信息鸿沟。故选D。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“But if everyone makes small changes in the world, we’d dramatically reduce the amount of food that ends up in bins (但如果每个人都能对这个世界做出小小的改变，我们就能大幅减少垃圾桶里的食物数量。)”可知，Clarke认为减少食物浪费需要每个人的努力付出，即需要共同努力。故选B。
D
Feeling extremely stressed by your to-do list can make you unhappy, but a new study suggests that more free time might not be the magic way most of us dream it could be.
The researchers analyzed data from 35,000 subjects about how Americans spend their free time. They found that people with more free time generally had higher levels of subjective happiness — but only up to a point. Compared to those with less time, people with up to two hours of free time a day generally felt better. However, people who had five or more hours of free time a day generally felt worse. So the free-time “sweet spot” might be two to three hours per day.
Part of finding this “sweet spot” is connected with how people spend their free time. In an online experiment, the subjects were asked to imagine having four to seven free hours per day and spending that time doing “productive” or “unproductive” activities. Most of them believed their well-being would suffer if they had a lot of free time during the day — but only if they used it unproductively. Though that experiment was based on the previous assumptions, which is one limitation, it agrees with other experiments showing that being in a state of flow (心流状态) can benefit people’s mental health.
Of course, for you, any activities that increase your happiness are “productive”. If watching soap opera in your free time makes you feel better, you should do that due to self-care. And some traditionally productive activities can be easy and fun. For example, walking and cooking can help burn stress and put people in a state of flow.
“In cases where people find themselves with large amounts of free time, such as retirement or unemployment,” Sharif said, “our results suggest they can benefit from spending their newfound time with purposes.”
12. How much free time one day do people have that can generally make them feel better?
A. About 60 minutes. B. About 90 minutes.
C. From 120 to 180 minutes. D. From 180 to 210 minutes.
13. What does the third paragraph mainly tell us?
A. How being in a state of flow can benefit people’s mental health.
B. How the researchers analyzed data from the 35,000 subjects.
C. How “productive” activities are different from “unproductive” ones.
D. How people make use of their free time influences their happiness.
14. How can we understand the “productive” activities in paragraph 4?
A. They must be fun and easy.
B. They are mostly traditional ones.
C. They depend on one’s own sense.
D. They generally rely on one’s own physical condition.
15. What did Sharif say to people who have a lot of free time?
A. People should spend their time with aims.
B. It is not easy for people to have newfound time.
C. People can benefit from large amounts of free time.
D. Retired and unemployed people can’t deal with free time well.
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。一项新的研究表明，更多的空闲时间可能并不是我们大多数人梦想的神奇灵丹妙药。文章介绍了研究开展的过程以及研究发现空闲时间的“最佳时间点”可能是每天两到三个小时，且与人们如何度过空闲时间有关。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Compared to those with less time，people with up to two hours of free time a day generally felt better. However, people who had five or more hours of free time a day generally felt worse. So the free-time ‘sweet spot’ might be two to three hours per day. (与时间较少的人相比，每天有两小时自由时间的人通常感觉更好。然而，每天有5个小时或更多空闲时间的人通常感觉更糟。所以空闲时间的‘最佳时间’可能是每天两到三个小时。)”可知每天拥有两到三个小时的空闲时间的人感觉更好。故选C。
【13题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段中的“Part of finding this ‘sweet spot’ is connected with how people spend their free time。(找到这个‘最佳时间’有一部分与人们如何度过空闲时间有关。)”以及下文的实验结果“Most of them believed their well-being would suffer if they had a lot of free time during the day—but only if they used it unproductively. Though that experiment was based on the previous assumptions, which is one limitation, it agrees with other experiments showing that being in a state of flow (心流状态) can benefit people’s mental health.(他们中的大多数人认为，如果白天有很多空闲时间，他们的幸福感会受到影响——但只有在他们没有成效地利用空闲时间的情况下。虽然该实验是基于之前的假设，这是一个局限性，但它与其他实验一致，表明处于心流状态可以有利于人们的心理健康。)”可知此段主要阐述人们如何利用空闲时间会影响他们的幸福感。故选D。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Of course, for you, any activities that increase your happiness are ‘productive’. If watching soap opera in your free time makes you feel better, you should do that due to self-care. And some traditionally productive activities can be easy and fun. For example, walking and cooking can help burn stress and put people in a state of flow.(当然，对你来说，任何能增加你幸福感的活动都是‘有成效的’。如果在你的空闲时间看肥皂剧让你感觉更好，你应该这样做，因为你要照顾自己。一些传统的富有成效的活动可以是简单和有趣的。例如，散步和做饭可以帮助缓解压力，让人们处于一种流动的状态。)”可知能让你感觉更好，有趣的，能够缓减压力的活动就是富有成效的，所以富有成效的活动取决于自己的感觉。故选C。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“‘In cases where people find themselves with large amounts of free time, such as retirement or unemployment,’ Sharif said, ‘our results suggest they can benefit from spending their newfound time with purposes.’(‘在人们发现自己有大量自由时间的情况下，比如退休或失业，’Sharif说，‘我们的研究结果表明，他们可以从把新发现的时间花在有目的的事情上来获益。’)”可知Sharif对有很多空闲时间人们说的是应该有目标地度过他们的空闲时间。故选A。

C. referred to was solved D. referred to must be solved
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查过去分词和suggest的用法。句意：教授建议所提到的那个问题应该马上予以解决。the problem 和referred to 之间是被动关系，此处是过去分词做后置定语，相当于定语从句which had been referred to；suugest “建议” 接句子时用虚拟语气（should)+动词原形，其中should可以省略，再根据the problem 和solve之间是被动关系，所以要用被动语态（should ）be solved。故选A。
【点睛】Suggest用法小结
1．suggest表示建议
1）suggest+doing sth.
He suggested going out for a walk.
2）suggest +(that )+主语+(should) do+sth 其中的should 可以省略
He suggested that you should go there tomorrow.=He suggested you go there tomorrow.
注意,不可以这样说：He suggested you to go there tomorrow.也就是说suggest不可以加不定式的复合结构.
3）it is suggested that +主语+(should )do sth.
It is suggested that the work (should) be finished at once.
4）suggestion做主语时,其后的表语从句也用这个结构即：The suggestion is that +主语+should +do sth
His suggestion is that I should leave for Beijing immediately.
2.suggest 表示暗示或表明之意,注意此时做主语时后面的表语从句用陈述语气
Her yawn suggested that she was sleepy.她哈欠连天表明她困了。

43. With all the work __________, we can go to the cinema tonight.
A. completing B. completed C. being completed D. having completed
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查过去分词。句意：所有的工作都完成了，我们今晚可以去看电影了。分析句子结构，“With all the work __________”是with复合结构，且“work(工作)” 和“complete(完成)”之间是被动关系，用过去分词作宾补，故选B。
44. Though________ by gradual blindness, Alice was still capable ________ writing compositions.
A. was influenced;in B. influenced;in
C. was affected;of D. affected;of
【答案】D

45. Typical________the new type of young people________, who set a shining example to the whole nation.

第二节 (满分25分)
57. 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。
It was now December twenty-fourth. So here we were, travelling about 2,000 miles and finally reaching our destination San Diego at last. We’d rented a room in a small, well-worn motel (汽车旅馆) near the beach.
Six-year-old Chat frowned. “There is no Christmas tree, Mommy! But it’s almost Christmas. How can Santa know where to put our presents without a Christmas tree?”
“Yes, a Christmas tree!” echoed (附和) his four-year-old brother Jay. “I want a Christmas tree!”
”Couldn’t we just get a small Christmas tree and set it up in this room somewhere?“ asked Chat. ”That way, Santa Claus will know where to put our presents.”
I sighed, looking around at our squeezed-in beds and bags. “But, honey, the five of us can barely move around in here with all our suitcases and everything. I’m sorry, but we just don’t have the room for something extra like a Christmas tree.”
Our oldest son, seven-year-old Robin, had been listening quietly. Suddenly, he grinned (咧嘴笑). “Yes, we do.”
I stared. “Where?”
He pointed to our motel room’s door. “Right there—on the back of that door. Please, Mommy, if we can’t get a real tree, can’t we make a pretend tree and put it up there? Then Santa will know we love Christmas just as much as he does.”
“And leave us some presents, too!” Chat added.
Make a tree? I looked at the newspaper that I had bought when I was searching for places to rent. If I taped some of those pages together, cut them out into a tree shape, and bought some poster paint and brushes at the store next door…
Now, I was grinning, too. “Okay, boys! Ready to make the very best Christmas tree in the whole wide world?”
“Yes!”
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。
So we bought some paint and then taped and cut and painted.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The next morning, I heard, “Mommy! Daddy! Look! Santa did find us after all!”
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】So we bought some paint and then taped and cut and painted. 2 hours later, our DIY Christmas tree stood behind the door, with our handmade ornaments around it. Our boys folded their hands and began to pray. “Time for bed!” urged my husband, promising that Santa would definitely bring some presents to those who behaved well. Not until all of them fell asleep did we quietly take Christmas gifts from our suitcases, put them into the socks and placed the socks under the tree. Without dazzling lights and coulorful lights, it may not be the biggest or shiniest Christmas tree, but the primitive tree was the most special one to us.
The next morning, I heard, “Mommy! Daddy! Look! Santa did find us after all!” “Yeah, And Santa left us presents!” Then I found the three boys running to the Christmas tree eagerly and unbelievably, checking the presents in the socks. Considering our financial situation, what we could prepare for them were ordinary but practical. Exposed to the love of our family, I knew that this Christmas would be one that we would never forget. It wasn’t about the size of the tree or the price of the gifts, but the love and joy that we all shared together that made it truly special.

How do you kill your time when you go to work? Most of us stare at our cell phones, and refuse to make eye contact with others. We just read, chat with others online or play games online. Or maybe we’re using the time between stops to do our makeup, catch up on emails, or read a few chapters of a book. However, Dina Alfasi takes a very different approach.
Each day she has to travel hours on buses and trains to get to her engineering job at a hospital in Israel. Rather than look at her cell phone in silence, she uses one very special way to have connection with strangers. It is portraits of the people she meets on public transport every day that she is taking. The photographs catch those quiet and personal moments of people readying themselves for the day ahead. Some people lean (倚靠) their head against the window and go to sleep, some stare into space and have a daydream, and others sit quietly to read their documents or books. Each picture catches one tiny moment in people’s lives, ripe with potential for your imagination. It is wonderful for her to look at someone’s commute (上下班) and make up an entire story about the rest of their daily existence, from the father travelling with a baby to the woman welcoming a change.
“What inspires me very much are the little moments that happen every day,” Dina told My Modern Met. “My work is to tell stories through a single portrait, and it proves that all you need is just to look around and find those magic moments.”

【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“How do you kill your time when you go to work? Most of us stare at our cell phones, and refuse to make eye contact with others.”可知，你去上班途中怎么打发时间？我们大多数人都盯着手机，拒绝与他人进行眼神交流，由此可知，大多数人上班途中会专注于看手机，故D项正确。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Each day she has to travel hours on buses and trains to get to her engineering job at a hospital in Israel. Rather than look at her cell phone in silence, she uses one very special way to have connection with strangers.

【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Each picture catches one tiny moment in people’s lives”可知，Dina画的每一张人物肖像都捕捉到了人们生活中的微小瞬间，这说明她很细心，故B项正确。

There is such a thing as a free lunch, it turns out, as long as you don’t mind too much what it is. Tamara Wilson found hers a few streets away from her west London home — and as well as picking up some unwanted bread and fruit that would otherwise be thrown away, she made a new friend.
Wilson is one of 3.4 million people around the world using an app designed to encourage people to give away rather than throw away surplus (剩余的) food. “It’s such a small thing, but it makes me feel good and my neighbour feel good. And a lot of small acts can end up making a big difference,” she said.
The last few years have seen an explosion in creative ways to tackle food waste by linking supermarkets, cafes, restaurants and individual households to local communities. Olio, the app used by Wilson, saw a fivefold increase in listings during 2022, and the signs are that this rapid growth is continuing into 2023, said Tessa Clarke, its CEO and co-founder.
About a third of all food produced globally is wasted according to the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO). Almost 1.4 billion hectares of land — close to 30% of the world’s agricultural land — is dedicated to producing food that is never eaten, and the carbon footprint of food wastage makes it the third contributor of CO2. Reducing food waste is one of the most effective ways of tackling the global climate crisis.
Olio, Clarke said, was an attempt to change this on a small, local scale. “The app connects people with others who have surplus food but don’t have anyone to give it to because so many people are disconnected from their communities.” Users of Olio post images of surplus food that others in the neighbourhood might want. Olio also has a network of 24,000 volunteers who collect surplus food from local supermarkets and stores for app users to claim.
Despite the success of the app, it was hard to make a difference to the huge scale of food waste, Clarke added. “Even though we’re doing well, we’ve only scratched the surface (触及表面). But if everyone makes small changes in the world, we’d dramatically reduce the amount of food that ends up in bins (垃圾桶).”
8. What does the author want to show by telling Wilson’s story?
A. People tend to use apps to order food. B. People prefer to make friends on apps.
C. People find a high-tech fix to food waste. D. People show more concern for each other.
9. What’s the consequence of food waste according to the text?
A. Global warming. B. Loss of land. C. World hunger. D. Poverty and inequality.
10. What does Olio do to help tackle food waste?
A. It sells surplus food to those in need. B. It allows volunteers to slay connected.
C. It provides a platform for people to promote food. D. It fills the information gap between green communities.
11. What does Clarke think of the work on reducing food waste globally?
A. It is a great success. B. It requires joint efforts.
C. It is beyond human power. D. It has won public support.
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. D 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一款名为OlioApp，该应用程序主要是将有多余食物的人与需要食物的人在社区中联系起来，充分的利用过度生产未被使用的食物，减少浪费。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Wilson is one of 3.4 million people around the world using an app designed to encourage people to give away rather than throw away surplus (剩余的) food. (威尔逊是全球340万使用该应用程序的人之一，该应用程序旨在鼓励人们放弃而不是扔掉多余的食物。)”可知，威尔逊使用应用程序来捡到一些面包和水果之外，还交了一个新朋友，即通过她的故事展示人们找到了解决食物浪费的高科技方法。故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“Almost 1.4 billion hectares of land — close to 30% of the world’s agricultural land — is dedicated to producing food that is never eaten, and the carbon footprint of food wastage makes it the third contributor of CO2. Reducing food waste is one of the most effective ways of tackling the global climate crisis.( 近14亿公顷土地(接近世界农业用地的30%)用于生产从未食用的食物，而食物浪费的碳足迹使其成为二氧化碳的第三个来源。减少食物浪费是应对全球气候危机最有效的方法之一。)”可知，过度的未食用食物的生产会导致增加碳排放，由此造成全球气候危机即全球变暖。故选A。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“The app connects people with others who have surplus food but don’t have anyone to give it to because so many people are disconnected from their communities.( 这款应用程序将人们与其他有多余食物但没有人可以施舍的人联系起来，因为很多人与他们的社区脱节。)”可知，Olio作为一款app其主要是将有多余食物的人与需要食物的人在社区中联系起来，充分的利用过度生产未被使用的食物，减少浪费。由此该应用程序填补了绿色社区之间的信息鸿沟。故选D。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“But if everyone makes small changes in the world, we’d dramatically reduce the amount of food that ends up in bins (但如果每个人都能对这个世界做出小小的改变，我们就能大幅减少垃圾桶里的食物数量。)”可知，Clarke认为减少食物浪费需要每个人的努力付出，即需要共同努力。故选B。
D
Feeling extremely stressed by your to-do list can make you unhappy, but a new study suggests that more free time might not be the magic way most of us dream it could be.
The researchers analyzed data from 35,000 subjects about how Americans spend their free time. They found that people with more free time generally had higher levels of subjective happiness — but only up to a point. Compared to those with less time, people with up to two hours of free time a day generally felt better. However, people who had five or more hours of free time a day generally felt worse. So the free-time “sweet spot” might be two to three hours per day.
Part of finding this “sweet spot” is connected with how people spend their free time. In an online experiment, the subjects were asked to imagine having four to seven free hours per day and spending that time doing “productive” or “unproductive” activities. Most of them believed their well-being would suffer if they had a lot of free time during the day — but only if they used it unproductively. Though that experiment was based on the previous assumptions, which is one limitation, it agrees with other experiments showing that being in a state of flow (心流状态) can benefit people’s mental health.
Of course, for you, any activities that increase your happiness are “productive”. If watching soap opera in your free time makes you feel better, you should do that due to self-care. And some traditionally productive activities can be easy and fun. For example, walking and cooking can help burn stress and put people in a state of flow.
“In cases where people find themselves with large amounts of free time, such as retirement or unemployment,” Sharif said, “our results suggest they can benefit from spending their newfound time with purposes.”
12. How much free time one day do people have that can generally make them feel better?
A. About 60 minutes. B. About 90 minutes.
C. From 120 to 180 minutes. D. From 180 to 210 minutes.
13. What does the third paragraph mainly tell us?
A. How being in a state of flow can benefit people’s mental health.
B. How the researchers analyzed data from the 35,000 subjects.
C. How “productive” activities are different from “unproductive” ones.
D. How people make use of their free time influences their happiness.
14. How can we understand the “productive” activities in paragraph 4?
A. They must be fun and easy.
B. They are mostly traditional ones.
C. They depend on one’s own sense.
D. They generally rely on one’s own physical condition.
15. What did Sharif say to people who have a lot of free time?
A. People should spend their time with aims.
B. It is not easy for people to have newfound time.
C. People can benefit from large amounts of free time.
D. Retired and unemployed people can’t deal with free time well.
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。一项新的研究表明，更多的空闲时间可能并不是我们大多数人梦想的神奇灵丹妙药。文章介绍了研究开展的过程以及研究发现空闲时间的“最佳时间点”可能是每天两到三个小时，且与人们如何度过空闲时间有关。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Compared to those with less time，people with up to two hours of free time a day generally felt better. However, people who had five or more hours of free time a day generally felt worse. So the free-time ‘sweet spot’ might be two to three hours per day. (与时间较少的人相比，每天有两小时自由时间的人通常感觉更好。然而，每天有5个小时或更多空闲时间的人通常感觉更糟。所以空闲时间的‘最佳时间’可能是每天两到三个小时。)”可知每天拥有两到三个小时的空闲时间的人感觉更好。故选C。
【13题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段中的“Part of finding this ‘sweet spot’ is connected with how people spend their free time。(找到这个‘最佳时间’有一部分与人们如何度过空闲时间有关。)”以及下文的实验结果“Most of them believed their well-being would suffer if they had a lot of free time during the day—but only if they used it unproductively. Though that experiment was based on the previous assumptions, which is one limitation, it agrees with other experiments showing that being in a state of flow (心流状态) can benefit people’s mental health.(他们中的大多数人认为，如果白天有很多空闲时间，他们的幸福感会受到影响——但只有在他们没有成效地利用空闲时间的情况下。虽然该实验是基于之前的假设，这是一个局限性，但它与其他实验一致，表明处于心流状态可以有利于人们的心理健康。)”可知此段主要阐述人们如何利用空闲时间会影响他们的幸福感。故选D。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Of course, for you, any activities that increase your happiness are ‘productive’. If watching soap opera in your free time makes you feel better, you should do that due to self-care. And some traditionally productive activities can be easy and fun. For example, walking and cooking can help burn stress and put people in a state of flow.(当然，对你来说，任何能增加你幸福感的活动都是‘有成效的’。如果在你的空闲时间看肥皂剧让你感觉更好，你应该这样做，因为你要照顾自己。一些传统的富有成效的活动可以是简单和有趣的。例如，散步和做饭可以帮助缓解压力，让人们处于一种流动的状态。)”可知能让你感觉更好，有趣的，能够缓减压力的活动就是富有成效的，所以富有成效的活动取决于自己的感觉。故选C。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“‘In cases where people find themselves with large amounts of free time, such as retirement or unemployment,’ Sharif said, ‘our results suggest they can benefit from spending their newfound time with purposes.’(‘在人们发现自己有大量自由时间的情况下，比如退休或失业，’Sharif说，‘我们的研究结果表明，他们可以从把新发现的时间花在有目的的事情上来获益。’)”可知Sharif对有很多空闲时间人们说的是应该有目标地度过他们的空闲时间。故选A。

【详解】考查固定短语。句意：医生试图治好他的病，但找不到治疗方法。第一空：cure sb of sth（治愈某人的病）；第二空：a cure for（一种治疗某种疾病的方法）。故选C。
41. The professor suggested the problem ________ at once.
A. referred to be solved B. referred to solving
C. referred to was solved D. referred to must be solved
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查过去分词和suggest的用法。句意：教授建议所提到的那个问题应该马上予以解决。the problem 和referred to 之间是被动关系，此处是过去分词做后置定语，相当于定语从句which had been referred to；suugest “建议” 接句子时用虚拟语气（should)+动词原形，其中should可以省略，再根据the problem 和solve之间是被动关系，所以要用被动语态（should ）be solved。故选A。
【点睛】Suggest用法小结
1．suggest表示建议
1）suggest+doing sth.
He suggested going out for a walk.
2）suggest +(that )+主语+(should) do+sth 其中的should 可以省略
He suggested that you should go there tomorrow.=He suggested you go there tomorrow.
注意,不可以这样说：He suggested you to go there tomorrow.也就是说suggest不可以加不定式的复合结构.
3）it is suggested that +主语+(should )do sth.
It is suggested that the work (should) be finished at once.
4）suggestion做主语时,其后的表语从句也用这个结构即：The suggestion is that +主语+should +do sth
His suggestion is that I should leave for Beijing immediately.
2.suggest 表示暗示或表明之意,注意此时做主语时后面的表语从句用陈述语气
Her yawn suggested that she was sleepy.她哈欠连天表明她困了。
42. Stop ________ your job so often, as a ________ stone gathers no moss.
A. to change; rolled B. to change; rolling C. changing; rolling D. changing; rolled
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查固定短语和形容词。句意：不要老是换工作，因为滚石不生苔。第一空，表示“停止正在做的事”用stop doing sth.；stop to do sth.表示“停下来去做另一件事”不符合语境；第二空表示“滚石”应用rolling stone。故选C。
43. With all the work __________, we can go to the cinema tonight.
A. completing B. completed C. being completed D. having completed
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查过去分词。句意：所有的工作都完成了，我们今晚可以去看电影了。分析句子结构，“With all the work __________”是with复合结构，且“work(工作)” 和“complete(完成)”之间是被动关系，用过去分词作宾补，故选B。
44. Though________ by gradual blindness, Alice was still capable ________ writing compositions.
A. was influenced;in B. influenced;in
C. was affected;of D. affected;of
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查状语从句的省略和固定短语。句意：虽然受到逐渐失明的影响，爱丽丝仍然能够写出作品。第一空：分析句子结构可知，主从句的主语是一致的，即第一空考查状语从句的省略，省略的内容为：Alice was，还原为：Though Alice was affected by gradual blindness，其中Alice与affect为被动关系；第二空：固定短语be capable of doing sth（有能力做某事），故选D。
45. Typical________the new type of young people________, who set a shining example to the whole nation.
A. of;were Lin Fei B. of;was Lin Fei
C. for;were Lin Fei D. for;was Lin Fei
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查固定短语和倒装。句意：林飞是新型青年的典型代表，他为全国树立了光辉的榜样。第一空：typical of：是……的特征，是形容词短语；第二空：Typical of the new type of young people是形容词短语作表语，类似的形容词短语作表语置于句首时，句子要用倒装结构，Lin Fei是单数，be动词用was，故选B。

第二节 (满分25分)
57. 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。
It was now December twenty-fourth. So here we were, travelling about 2,000 miles and finally reaching our destination San Diego at last. We’d rented a room in a small, well-worn motel (汽车旅馆) near the beach.
Six-year-old Chat frowned. “There is no Christmas tree, Mommy! But it’s almost Christmas. How can Santa know where to put our presents without a Christmas tree?”
“Yes, a Christmas tree!” echoed (附和) his four-year-old brother Jay. “I want a Christmas tree!”
”Couldn’t we just get a small Christmas tree and set it up in this room somewhere?“ asked Chat. ”That way, Santa Claus will know where to put our presents.”
I sighed, looking around at our squeezed-in beds and bags. “But, honey, the five of us can barely move around in here with all our suitcases and everything. I’m sorry, but we just don’t have the room for something extra like a Christmas tree.”
Our oldest son, seven-year-old Robin, had been listening quietly. Suddenly, he grinned (咧嘴笑). “Yes, we do.”
I stared. “Where?”
He pointed to our motel room’s door. “Right there—on the back of that door. Please, Mommy, if we can’t get a real tree, can’t we make a pretend tree and put it up there? Then Santa will know we love Christmas just as much as he does.”
“And leave us some presents, too!” Chat added.
Make a tree? I looked at the newspaper that I had bought when I was searching for places to rent. If I taped some of those pages together, cut them out into a tree shape, and bought some poster paint and brushes at the store next door…
Now, I was grinning, too. “Okay, boys! Ready to make the very best Christmas tree in the whole wide world?”
“Yes!”
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。
So we bought some paint and then taped and cut and painted.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The next morning, I heard, “Mommy! Daddy! Look! Santa did find us after all!”
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】So we bought some paint and then taped and cut and painted. 2 hours later, our DIY Christmas tree stood behind the door, with our handmade ornaments around it. Our boys folded their hands and began to pray. “Time for bed!” urged my husband, promising that Santa would definitely bring some presents to those who behaved well. Not until all of them fell asleep did we quietly take Christmas gifts from our suitcases, put them into the socks and placed the socks under the tree. Without dazzling lights and coulorful lights, it may not be the biggest or shiniest Christmas tree, but the primitive tree was the most special one to us.
The next morning, I heard, “Mommy! Daddy! Look! Santa did find us after all!” “Yeah, And Santa left us presents!” Then I found the three boys running to the Christmas tree eagerly and unbelievably, checking the presents in the socks. Considering our financial situation, what we could prepare for them were ordinary but practical. Exposed to the love of our family, I knew that this Christmas would be one that we would never forget. It wasn’t about the size of the tree or the price of the gifts, but the love and joy that we all shared together that made it truly special.
