Sitting on the edge of the world, Sydney is considered as one of the world's greatest cities for a reason. Want to relax yourself in Sydney? This shortlist of things to do and see in Sydney should point you in the right direction.
Hit the beaches
Everyone knows about Bondi Beach and its Icebergs pool, restaurants and the crashing waves are the postcard image of Sydney. Bondi is a great place to start. But after you've caught some sun or taken a surf lesson with Let's Go Surfing, we'd suggest taking the Coogee Coastal Walk. Beginning at the Bondi Icebergs swim club, the 3.7-mile walk affords amazing cliffside views of rock pools and bays.

Love it so much that you never want to leave? Stay the night in one of its luxury safari(狩猎) tents.
Climb the bridge
Nicknamed “the coat hanger,” the Sydney Habour Bridge opened in 1932. Like the Sydney Opera Houses it was an engineering-masterpiece than was way ahead of its time. Sure, you can walk or cycle across the bridge, but the best way to appreciate the architectural wonder is up close and personal.

It was the day before Thanksgiving and Kaleb Benham was wandering around outside his home in Noring California. His 90-pound pit bull, Buddy, was playing around nearby, doing what dogs do: getting into trouble. And this time, Buddy was getting into a whole lot of trouble.
The unmistakable sound that no one wants to hear alone in the woods caught Benham's attention. It was the deep, strange roar of a black bear. Benham wheeled around to see the beast which Benham figured weighed around 350 pounds, sorne100 feet away, In an instant, the bear fastened on to Buddy's head and started dragging him away.
Benham, a thin, fit 24-year-old, took off after them. “Honestly, he told CBS 13, “he only thing I could think of was ‘save my baby’” Sprinting, he lowered his shoulder and plowed into the bear But it only tightened its grip on Buddy. Benham grabbed the bear.by the throat. Nothing. He tried getting its mouth open, but the jaw was locked tight, Benham resorted to street fighting—punching the bear over and over around its snout and eye. It worked. The bear dropped the dog and ran off into the woods.
Buddy was in bad shape. His face was bloodied and ripped up. His ears were dangling. He had a bite mark clear through his lip and one that barely missed an eye.
“My first thought was that I was going to lose him,” Benham said. He scooped up Buddy, put him into his car, and sped off to a nearby veterinarian. Buddy's surgery took nearly four hours. Benham watched the procedure through a window. “I just stood there,” he said, watching as Buddy's ears were stapled back on and skin flaps were stitched, and tubes were inserted into his head to drain fluid.
This was the second time Benham had rescued Buddy, says CBS 13. The first was from a shelter a few years ago. “If it was your kid, what would you do?” he asked. Nodding toward Buddy, he added, “That's my kid.”
24. What is the text mainly about?
A. A daring rescue. B. A regular routine.

In Scotland, 600, 000 tonnes of food are thrown away every year. This amount of food, which could feed about 1.2 billion poor people, is almost a third of household(家庭的) waste. And food waste isn't just a big problem in Scotland.
Money, time, and resources are often wasted by throwing away good food. It also causes very harmful greenhouse gas, which is perilous to the planet.
In the production stage, some foods do not enter the food chain for many reasons. Supermarkets usually care about the quality of food from farms. They often refuse strange-looking and unusual y sized produce. However, they seem to forget that it is a most impossible to grow the perfect produce. Food waste at the consumption stage includes food going out of date and leftovers because of too much food. In households, even mostly fresh fruit and vegetables are thrown away.
In order to reduce food waste, here is what we can do:
Understand the terms “use by” and “best before” dates. “Use by” dates are there for your safety. It is dangerous to eat food after the use-by date and doing so risks your health. “Best before” dates tell you how long the food will beat its best quality. Once the food passes the date, it isn't necessarily bad, but you should still check, just to be sure.
Every time you go shop pig and bring back new food, put them at the back of your fridge and bring the food that will expire(到期) soon closer to the front. That way, you know what needs to be eaten first.
If you have any food that will expire soon, give it to charity if you aren't going to cat it. They will really appreciate the food you have given.
28. What can we infer from Paragraph 1?
A. Food waste is the biggest part of household waste.
B. Food waste is a common problem.
C. People in Scotland waste the most food.
D. Household waste hasn't drawn much attention.
29. What does the underlined word “perilous” in Paragraph 2mean?
A. Valuable. B. Unnecessary. C. Different. D. Dangerous.
30. What should people do to reduce food waste according to the text?
A. Pick usually sized produce.
B. Avoid buying too much food at a time.
C. Order produce directly from farmers.
D. Improve the quality of farm produce.
31. What advice does the author offer to people?
A. Buy food that will expire soon to reduce waste.
B. Give food that has passed its use-by date to charity.
C. Throw away food that passes the best-before date.
D. Place food carefully according to its expiry date.
D
New research has found a direct correlation between how a child visually tracks his mother's eyes and the condition. How a toddler responds to baby talk could help diagnose autism(自闭症)years before symptoms begin, according to the new research.
A study examined responses to parents' use of playful, emotional, exaggerated tones, known as “motherese” (mother's ‘baby talk’), to capture a child's attention. Eye-tracking tests showed that children who did not respond had weaker social and language abilities. Professor Karen Pierce, of California University in San Diego, co-author of the research, said, “We know the earlier we can introduce treatment, the more effective it is likely to be. But most children don't get a formal diagnosis until around the age of three or four. There is a real need for easy and effective tools that can be used on young children. Eye-tacking is a great place to start.”
In experiments, 653 toddlers aged one to two years old were exposed to two one-minute videos featuring a woman speaking motherese or abstract scenes. Their eyes controlled which one played. Participants without ASD (autism spectrum disorder) showed consistently high interest in the woman speaking motherese, spending an average 80 percent of the time watching it. They largely ignored the second video which showed a busy highway, abstract shapes and numbers and had accompanying electronic music.
However, attention levels of peers diagnosed with ASD spanned the full range of concentration levels, with some focusing 100 percent on the random images. A group who fixed on motherese less than 30 percent of the time could be accurately identified as having ASD through this measurement alone. These children also showed lower scores on subsequent tests of language and social skills.
Whether less attention to motherese is the cause of reduced sociability or merely a symptom has yet to be determined. However, researchers found it appears to be a highly accurate biomarker for the condition. Prof Pierce said, “The fact we can reliably identify children with autism using such a simple and rapid eye-tracking test is really remarkable. In future, we hope to us each ids attention to motherese as a cue for which treatments they may most benefit from and as a tool for measuring how well those treatments work.”
32. What is the purpose of the study?
A. To catch a child's attention.
B. To check a child's eyesight.
C. To test a child's reaction to motherese.
D. To diagnose autism early.
33. What can we know according to Pierce?
A. Eye-tracking test is a good way to cur c autism.
B. There is an urgent need for complex tool applied to young children.
C. It is essential to bring in ASD treatment in early time，
D. Most children don't get an informal diagnosis before the age of three or four.
34. How did participants without ASD responded to the videos in experiments?
A. They showed occasionally high interest in the woman speaking motherese.
B. They fixed 80 percent on the random images.
C. They focused on motherese more than 30%percent of time.
D. They mainly overlooked the second one:
35. What's the main idea of the passage?
A. The connection between a child's reaction to motherese and autism.
B. How to improve toddlers' language and social skills.
C. The process of eye-tracking test.
D. How to heal autism.

The Upside to Being Outside
Research shows that being in nature makes people feel good, whether they're roughing it in the wilderness for days or just hanging out at a local park for a while.

Researchers found that most participants' mood and wellbeing improved significantly when they spent time in urban parks, even though the average visit was only around half an hour.

That's more proof that going outside is a smart move!
What accounts for the connection with cognition and creativity? It could be that a good dose of nature acts as a cure to information overload. Everyday life involves a lot of multitasking. Some scientists theorize that spending time in nature enables our brain store stand recover from mental tiredness. 39
Naturally, scientific studies don't cover everything that’s great about the great outdoors. 40 From recreation and exercise to happiness and creativity, there are lots of upsides to getting outside.
A. One study revealed that people were better at figuring out puzzles after a four-day camping trip.
B. According to many scientific studies, there's a good chance it make you happier, healthier and more creative.

During the summer before Patty entered fifth grade, she decided to try a new sport. Swim training was nearly over and Patty was the fastest swimmer in her age group. She had always been the best. The neighborhood was offering a one-week tennis training course. Patty and her friend Darla got permission from their parents to join，
On Saturday morning, Darla's mom took the girls to a store and bought them each a good, used tennis racket “If you girls stick to tennis, then we’ll talk about a new racket. These will do for now.” The girls were excited about their new purchases. On Monday morning, at 7:00 a.m.，
Patty's mom woke her up. “It’s time for tennis!” Patty covered her face. “Mom, it’s too early!” She made great effort to get out of bed and down to the breakfast table. Patty finished breakfast and ran to Darla's house, then they walked to the court.
Mrs. Cane, the tennis coach, lined everyone up and started with the basics. After that, Mrs. Cane tirelessly taught them to practice their forehand and backhand. By the end of the week, Patty had made impressive progress. Mrs. Cane commented that Patty had lots of potential. Darla, on the other hand, was struggling. The other teenagers were having a tough time of it, too. Patty was the only one who seemed to get somewhere.
Since then, Darla had always been out in the August heat, practicing her serves or hitting the ball. Patty wasn’t really interested. She felt she was such a “natural” for tennis that she really didn't need to practice. By the end of the summer, Dara began to get the hang of it. She joined a neighborhood junior tennis team. There would be matches every Thursday. Patty wanted to join as well but she didn't want to miss her favorite TV show. She told herself that she would join it when she got some free time. If Darla had fun, she would join the team in the spring:

【原文】W: Most American university students study four years or more to get a college degree. During this time, they are called undergraduate students. When a student completes his course, he earns a bachelor's degree that will help him find a job. Many students stay at university and work for a higher degree. Other students take a job for a few years, then they quit working, and they continue studying at the university. Those students work to earn higher degrees. They are called graduate students. Graduate students specialize in a particular field of study. They study to become experts in their field. They hope that when they get their graduate degrees they will succeed in finding interesting jobs with good salaries. Graduate are usually too busy studying. Often they have to pay high school fees. Some give up studying before they get their degrees. But most keep on working at their studies until they graduate. In today's world, most gradates don't regret spending time on studies. They are finding that things are changing fast. New development are occurring in all fields. For many, graduate study has become a necessity.

主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“In an instant, the bear fastened on to Buddy's head and started dragging him away.(瞬间，熊抓住巴迪的头，开始把他拖走)”可知，巴迪在树林里被熊袭击了，以及第三段“Benham, a thin, fit 24-year-old, took off after them. “Honestly,” he told CBS 13,?”the only thing I could think of was ‘save my baby’” Sprinting, he lowered his shoulder and plowed into the bear. But it only tightened its grip on Buddy. Benham grabbed the bear by the throat. Nothing. He tried getting its mouth open, but the jaw was locked tight. Benham resorted to street fighting—punching the bear over and over around its snout and eye. It worked. The bear dropped the dog and ran off into the woods. (24岁的贝纳姆身材苗条，跟着他们跑。“老实说，”他告诉CBS 13频道，“我唯一能想到的就是‘救我的孩子’。”他疾跑着，低下肩膀，狠狠地撞了那只熊。但它只会把巴迪抓得更紧。贝纳姆抓住熊的喉咙。什么都没有。他试着打开它的嘴，但它的下巴被紧紧地锁住了。贝纳姆采取了街头格斗的方式——在熊的鼻子和眼睛周围不停地拳打脚踢。它起作用了。熊扔下狗跑进了树林。)”可知，本文主要讲述的是一场大胆的营救。故选A。
【25题详解】

词句猜测题。根据画线词的上文“Money, time, and resources are often wasted by throwing away good food. It also causes very harmful greenhouse gas，(金钱、时间和资源常常被浪费在扔掉好的食物上。它还会产生非常有害的温室气体)”可知，这些有害的温室气体对地球应该是危险的，所以可推测画线词是“危险的”意思。故选D项。

Eye-tacking is a great place to start.(我们知道，越早开始治疗，效果可能就越好。但大多数孩子直到三、四岁左右才得到正式诊断。真正需要的是可以用于幼儿的简单有效的工具。目光转移是一个很好的开始。) ”可知，Pierce认为，尽早进行ASD治疗效果就越好。故选C项。

【答案】
56. has led/has been leading 57. was launched 58. where 60. historically
61. featuring 62. a 63. to garden 64.world's 65.attached
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了主人公侯晓蕾在京城胡同塑造“微花园”的故事。
56.考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意: 从2015年开始，侯晓蕾教授领导了一个微花园项目，在胡同里建造小花园.根据该句时间状语Since 2015可知，应使用完成时态，结合句意可知，可为现在完成时或者现在完成进行时，主语Professor Hou Xiaolei为第三人称单数名词，所以为动词三单形式。故填has led/has been leading。
57.考查动词时态和语态。句意: 该项目启动之际，北京的城市更新进入了一个阶段，大规模的拆除和重建被小规模的“再生”项目所取代。根据as引导从句后的动词为过去时态，可知此句主句谓语launch需要使用过去时，根据语意可知应为项目被启动，故使用被动语态，主句主语The project单数，主句谓语单数形式。故填was launched。
58.考查定语从句。句意: 该项目启动之际，北京的城市更新进入了一个阶段，大规模的拆除和重建被小规模的“再生”项目所取代。分析句子可知，此处引导限制性定语从句，先行词stage，关系词在从句中作地点状语成分，为关系副词where。故填where。
59.考查连词。句意:“我们希望升级北京老城的公共空间，增加居民对社区治理的参与，并为改善城市环境和文化做出贡献，”侯晓蕾说。分析句子可知，空前后是并列关系，用表并列的并列连词and。故填and。
60.考查副词。句意: 在北京市中心具有重要历史意义的崇永街的一段街道上，侯晓蕾和她的团队建造了35个微型花园，种植了6000多株植物。由副词作状语修饰形容词可知，此句中的副词historically修饰形容词significant。故填historically。
61.考查非谓语动词。句意: 除了植物，花园中还有一些艺术装置，具有北京当地文化的元素，如风筝和传统的蜜饯水果小吃糖葫芦。分析句子可知，此处为非谓语动词作后置定语修饰名词短语art installations，逻辑主语art installations和非谓语动词feature为主动关系，所以为现在分词形式。故填featuring。
62.考查冠词。句意: 除了植物，花园中还有一些艺术装置，具有北京当地文化的元素，如风筝和传统的蜜饯水果小吃糖葫芦。根据句意可知，此处为表示“糖葫芦是一种小吃”，泛指，traditional以辅音音素开头， 所以为不定冠词a的填入。故填a.
63.考查非谓语动词。句意: 侯晓蕾的团队在一些居民社区建立了园艺组织，教当地居民如何园艺。garden此处为动词，“疑问词+不定式形式”作宾语。故填to garden。
64.考查名词所有格。句意: 侯晓蕾说，这个项目是用创意园艺复兴老胡同的创新方式，将有助于北京老城的整体保护，北京老城拥有世界上最杰出的宫殿、寺庙、广场、市场、街道、城墙和塔楼， 建于中国最后三个帝国王朝的过程中。由空后most remarkable collections为名词短语可知， 此处为名词所有格形式， 此处意为“世界上的”。故填world's。
65.考查非谓语动词。句意: 这个项目反映了近年来人们对文化遗产保护的日益重视。分析句子可知， 此处为非谓语动词作后置定语修饰名词importance，逻辑主语importance和非谓语动词attach为被动关系，所以为过去分词形式。故填attached。

【参考范文】
The week before school started, Mrs. Cane held another training course .Darla and Patty signed up immediately. In a class, Mrs. Cane asked the teenagers to play in turn. Darla came first，impressing others with her excellent performance. Mrs. Cane was pleased with Darla's progress. “Well, I can tell who's been practicing!” she smiled. Soon it was Patty's turn. Everyone looked at the “talent” expectantly. Yet, Patty had not practiced and was far behind the rest, which was a shock for all. Patty was upset and absent until the class was over.
Patty couldn’t stop thinking of her poor performance on the way home. She realized she needed change if she still wanted to continue with tennis. The next day, Patty came to Darla's team when they practiced to ask whether she could join. Warmly welcomed, she became a member of the team that day. Weak though she was, Patty enjoyed herself and worked hard at practice. She finally found that “natural talent” got her nowhere without diligence and she was able to join in the fun. That was one of the best lessons of her life.
【写作指导】
1.文章大意: 暑假期间，Patty和她的朋友Darla一起加入了Mrs. Cane的网球培训课。起初，Patty进步很快， 被教练称赞具有天赋，Darla和课上其他同学却学得艰难，所以Darla一直勤加练习，Patty却认为自己天赋异禀，因而疏于练习。在开学前一周，Mrs. Cane又开展了一次网球培训课，然而这次Patty却表现得不好。
2.写作思路: 续写第一段的开头语是“开学前一周，Mrs. Cane又开了一次培训课”，故本段应围绕培训课上发生的事情展开，再结合短文内容顽续写第二段的开头语“在回家的路上Patty忍不住想她糟糕的表现”可知，Patty和Darla应该是再次参加了培训课，所以续写第一段可描述两人在课上的表现。根据短文最后一段对Darla勤奋练习的描述可推测，Darla应会取得进步，而Patty表现不佳。根据续写第二段的开头语可知，本段应介绍Patty 表现不佳后发生的事，如在经过一番思考后Patty意识到自己落后的原因以及勤奋练习的重要性、Patty主动找Darla训练或者希望加入Darla所在的网球队等。

But it's not the only place in Sydney putting on a show. The 1920s State Theatre, in the central business district, is known to host international ballets, concerts and world-class orchestras.
Go to the zoo
From the skyline views to the charming grounds, there's a reason why Sydney's Taronga Zoo attracts more than I million visitors every year, The expansive space plays host to more than 4, 000 animals, including tigers. giraffes, kangaroos, platypus, koalas, Komodo dragons, elephants, lions, chimps and more.

It was the day before Thanksgiving and Kaleb Benham was wandering around outside his home in Noring California. His 90-pound pit bull, Buddy, was playing around nearby, doing what dogs do: getting into trouble. And this time, Buddy was getting into a whole lot of trouble.
The unmistakable sound that no one wants to hear alone in the woods caught Benham's attention. It was the deep, strange roar of a black bear. Benham wheeled around to see the beast which Benham figured weighed around 350 pounds, sorne100 feet away, In an instant, the bear fastened on to Buddy's head and started dragging him away.
Benham, a thin, fit 24-year-old, took off after them. “Honestly, he told CBS 13, “he only thing I could think of was ‘save my baby’” Sprinting, he lowered his shoulder and plowed into the bear But it only tightened its grip on Buddy. Benham grabbed the bear.by the throat. Nothing. He tried getting its mouth open, but the jaw was locked tight, Benham resorted to street fighting—punching the bear over and over around its snout and eye. It worked. The bear dropped the dog and ran off into the woods.
Buddy was in bad shape. His face was bloodied and ripped up. His ears were dangling. He had a bite mark clear through his lip and one that barely missed an eye.
“My first thought was that I was going to lose him,” Benham said. He scooped up Buddy, put him into his car, and sped off to a nearby veterinarian. Buddy's surgery took nearly four hours. Benham watched the procedure through a window. “I just stood there,” he said, watching as Buddy's ears were stapled back on and skin flaps were stitched, and tubes were inserted into his head to drain fluid.
This was the second time Benham had rescued Buddy, says CBS 13. The first was from a shelter a few years ago. “If it was your kid, what would you do?” he asked. Nodding toward Buddy, he added, “That's my kid.”

In Scotland, 600, 000 tonnes of food are thrown away every year. This amount of food, which could feed about 1.2 billion poor people, is almost a third of household(家庭的) waste. And food waste isn't just a big problem in Scotland.
Money, time, and resources are often wasted by throwing away good food. It also causes very harmful greenhouse gas, which is perilous to the planet.
In the production stage, some foods do not enter the food chain for many reasons. Supermarkets usually care about the quality of food from farms. They often refuse strange-looking and unusual y sized produce. However, they seem to forget that it is a most impossible to grow the perfect produce. Food waste at the consumption stage includes food going out of date and leftovers because of too much food. In households, even mostly fresh fruit and vegetables are thrown away.
In order to reduce food waste, here is what we can do:
Understand the terms “use by” and “best before” dates. “Use by” dates are there for your safety. It is dangerous to eat food after the use-by date and doing so risks your health. “Best before” dates tell you how long the food will beat its best quality. Once the food passes the date, it isn't necessarily bad, but you should still check, just to be sure.
Every time you go shop pig and bring back new food, put them at the back of your fridge and bring the food that will expire(到期) soon closer to the front. That way, you know what needs to be eaten first.
If you have any food that will expire soon, give it to charity if you aren't going to cat it. They will really appreciate the food you have given.
28. What can we infer from Paragraph 1?
A. Food waste is the biggest part of household waste.
B. Food waste is a common problem.
C. People in Scotland waste the most food.
D. Household waste hasn't drawn much attention.
29. What does the underlined word “perilous” in Paragraph 2mean?
A. Valuable. B. Unnecessary. C. Different. D. Dangerous.
30. What should people do to reduce food waste according to the text?
A. Pick usually sized produce.
B. Avoid buying too much food at a time.
C. Order produce directly from farmers.
D. Improve the quality of farm produce.
31. What advice does the author offer to people?
A. Buy food that will expire soon to reduce waste.
B. Give food that has passed its use-by date to charity.
C. Throw away food that passes the best-before date.
D. Place food carefully according to its expiry date.
D
New research has found a direct correlation between how a child visually tracks his mother's eyes and the condition. How a toddler responds to baby talk could help diagnose autism(自闭症)years before symptoms begin, according to the new research.
A study examined responses to parents' use of playful, emotional, exaggerated tones, known as “motherese” (mother's ‘baby talk’), to capture a child's attention. Eye-tracking tests showed that children who did not respond had weaker social and language abilities. Professor Karen Pierce, of California University in San Diego, co-author of the research, said, “We know the earlier we can introduce treatment, the more effective it is likely to be. But most children don't get a formal diagnosis until around the age of three or four. There is a real need for easy and effective tools that can be used on young children. Eye-tacking is a great place to start.”
In experiments, 653 toddlers aged one to two years old were exposed to two one-minute videos featuring a woman speaking motherese or abstract scenes. Their eyes controlled which one played. Participants without ASD (autism spectrum disorder) showed consistently high interest in the woman speaking motherese, spending an average 80 percent of the time watching it. They largely ignored the second video which showed a busy highway, abstract shapes and numbers and had accompanying electronic music.
However, attention levels of peers diagnosed with ASD spanned the full range of concentration levels, with some focusing 100 percent on the random images. A group who fixed on motherese less than 30 percent of the time could be accurately identified as having ASD through this measurement alone. These children also showed lower scores on subsequent tests of language and social skills.
Whether less attention to motherese is the cause of reduced sociability or merely a symptom has yet to be determined. However, researchers found it appears to be a highly accurate biomarker for the condition. Prof Pierce said, “The fact we can reliably identify children with autism using such a simple and rapid eye-tracking test is really remarkable. In future, we hope to us each ids attention to motherese as a cue for which treatments they may most benefit from and as a tool for measuring how well those treatments work.”
32. What is the purpose of the study?
A. To catch a child's attention.
B. To check a child's eyesight.
C. To test a child's reaction to motherese.
D. To diagnose autism early.
33. What can we know according to Pierce?
A. Eye-tracking test is a good way to cur c autism.
B. There is an urgent need for complex tool applied to young children.
C. It is essential to bring in ASD treatment in early time，
D. Most children don't get an informal diagnosis before the age of three or four.
34. How did participants without ASD responded to the videos in experiments?
A. They showed occasionally high interest in the woman speaking motherese.
B. They fixed 80 percent on the random images.
C. They focused on motherese more than 30%percent of time.
D. They mainly overlooked the second one:
35. What's the main idea of the passage?
A. The connection between a child's reaction to motherese and autism.
B. How to improve toddlers' language and social skills.
C. The process of eye-tracking test.
D. How to heal autism.

The Upside to Being Outside
Research shows that being in nature makes people feel good, whether they're roughing it in the wilderness for days or just hanging out at a local park for a while. One study was conducted in the city of Birmingham, Alabama. Researchers found that most participants' mood and wellbeing improved significantly when they spent time in urban parks, even though the average visit was only around half an hour.
36 For example, scientists in the United Kingdom studied the impact of the “30~Days Wild” campaign.

That's more proof that going outside is a smart move!
What accounts for the connection with cognition and creativity? It could be that a good dose of nature acts as a cure to information overload. Everyday life involves a lot of multitasking. Some scientists theorize that spending time in nature enables our brain store stand recover from mental tiredness. 39
Naturally, scientific studies don't cover everything that’s great about the great outdoors. 40 From recreation and exercise to happiness and creativity, there are lots of upsides to getting outside.
A. One study revealed that people were better at figuring out puzzles after a four-day camping trip.
B. According to many scientific studies, there's a good chance it make you happier, healthier and more creative.
C. What's more, the lift people get from nature is long lasting.

During the summer before Patty entered fifth grade, she decided to try a new sport. Swim training was nearly over and Patty was the fastest swimmer in her age group. She had always been the best. The neighborhood was offering a one-week tennis training course. Patty and her friend Darla got permission from their parents to join，
On Saturday morning, Darla's mom took the girls to a store and bought them each a good, used tennis racket “If you girls stick to tennis, then we’ll talk about a new racket. These will do for now.” The girls were excited about their new purchases. On Monday morning, at 7:00 a.m.，
Patty's mom woke her up. “It’s time for tennis!” Patty covered her face. “Mom, it’s too early!” She made great effort to get out of bed and down to the breakfast table. Patty finished breakfast and ran to Darla's house, then they walked to the court.
Mrs. Cane, the tennis coach, lined everyone up and started with the basics. After that, Mrs. Cane tirelessly taught them to practice their forehand and backhand. By the end of the week, Patty had made impressive progress. Mrs. Cane commented that Patty had lots of potential. Darla, on the other hand, was struggling. The other teenagers were having a tough time of it, too. Patty was the only one who seemed to get somewhere.
Since then, Darla had always been out in the August heat, practicing her serves or hitting the ball. Patty wasn’t really interested. She felt she was such a “natural” for tennis that she really didn't need to practice. By the end of the summer, Dara began to get the hang of it. She joined a neighborhood junior tennis team. There would be matches every Thursday. Patty wanted to join as well but she didn't want to miss her favorite TV show. She told herself that she would join it when she got some free time. If Darla had fun, she would join the team in the spring:

Eye-tacking is a great place to start.(我们知道，越早开始治疗，效果可能就越好。但大多数孩子直到三、四岁左右才得到正式诊断。真正需要的是可以用于幼儿的简单有效的工具。目光转移是一个很好的开始。) ”可知，Pierce认为，尽早进行ASD治疗效果就越好。故选C项。
34.细节理解题。根据文章第三段话“Participants without ASD (autism spectrum disorder)showed consistently high interest in the woman speaking motherese, spending an average 80percent of the time watching it.

【答案】
56. has led/has been leading 57. was launched 58. where 60. historically
61. featuring 62. a 63. to garden 64.world's 65.attached
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了主人公侯晓蕾在京城胡同塑造“微花园”的故事。
56.考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意: 从2015年开始，侯晓蕾教授领导了一个微花园项目，在胡同里建造小花园.根据该句时间状语Since 2015可知，应使用完成时态，结合句意可知，可为现在完成时或者现在完成进行时，主语Professor Hou Xiaolei为第三人称单数名词，所以为动词三单形式。故填has led/has been leading。
57.考查动词时态和语态。句意: 该项目启动之际，北京的城市更新进入了一个阶段，大规模的拆除和重建被小规模的“再生”项目所取代。根据as引导从句后的动词为过去时态，可知此句主句谓语launch需要使用过去时，根据语意可知应为项目被启动，故使用被动语态，主句主语The project单数，主句谓语单数形式。故填was launched。
58.考查定语从句。句意: 该项目启动之际，北京的城市更新进入了一个阶段，大规模的拆除和重建被小规模的“再生”项目所取代。分析句子可知，此处引导限制性定语从句，先行词stage，关系词在从句中作地点状语成分，为关系副词where。故填where。
59.考查连词。句意:“我们希望升级北京老城的公共空间，增加居民对社区治理的参与，并为改善城市环境和文化做出贡献，”侯晓蕾说。分析句子可知，空前后是并列关系，用表并列的并列连词and。故填and。
60.考查副词。句意: 在北京市中心具有重要历史意义的崇永街的一段街道上，侯晓蕾和她的团队建造了35个微型花园，种植了6000多株植物。由副词作状语修饰形容词可知，此句中的副词historically修饰形容词significant。故填historically。
61.考查非谓语动词。句意: 除了植物，花园中还有一些艺术装置，具有北京当地文化的元素，如风筝和传统的蜜饯水果小吃糖葫芦。分析句子可知，此处为非谓语动词作后置定语修饰名词短语art installations，逻辑主语art installations和非谓语动词feature为主动关系，所以为现在分词形式。故填featuring。
62.考查冠词。句意: 除了植物，花园中还有一些艺术装置，具有北京当地文化的元素，如风筝和传统的蜜饯水果小吃糖葫芦。根据句意可知，此处为表示“糖葫芦是一种小吃”，泛指，traditional以辅音音素开头， 所以为不定冠词a的填入。故填a.
63.考查非谓语动词。句意: 侯晓蕾的团队在一些居民社区建立了园艺组织，教当地居民如何园艺。garden此处为动词，“疑问词+不定式形式”作宾语。故填to garden。
64.考查名词所有格。句意: 侯晓蕾说，这个项目是用创意园艺复兴老胡同的创新方式，将有助于北京老城的整体保护，北京老城拥有世界上最杰出的宫殿、寺庙、广场、市场、街道、城墙和塔楼， 建于中国最后三个帝国王朝的过程中。由空后most remarkable collections为名词短语可知， 此处为名词所有格形式， 此处意为“世界上的”。故填world's。
65.考查非谓语动词。句意: 这个项目反映了近年来人们对文化遗产保护的日益重视。分析句子可知， 此处为非谓语动词作后置定语修饰名词importance，逻辑主语importance和非谓语动词attach为被动关系，所以为过去分词形式。故填attached。

第二节: 读后续写(满分25分)
【参考范文】
The week before school started, Mrs. Cane held another training course .Darla and Patty signed up immediately. In a class, Mrs. Cane asked the teenagers to play in turn. Darla came first，impressing others with her excellent performance. Mrs. Cane was pleased with Darla's progress. “Well, I can tell who's been practicing!” she smiled. Soon it was Patty's turn. Everyone looked at the “talent” expectantly. Yet, Patty had not practiced and was far behind the rest, which was a shock for all. Patty was upset and absent until the class was over.
Patty couldn’t stop thinking of her poor performance on the way home. She realized she needed change if she still wanted to continue with tennis. The next day, Patty came to Darla's team when they practiced to ask whether she could join. Warmly welcomed, she became a member of the team that day. Weak though she was, Patty enjoyed herself and worked hard at practice. She finally found that “natural talent” got her nowhere without diligence and she was able to join in the fun. That was one of the best lessons of her life.
【写作指导】
1.文章大意: 暑假期间，Patty和她的朋友Darla一起加入了Mrs. Cane的网球培训课。起初，Patty进步很快， 被教练称赞具有天赋，Darla和课上其他同学却学得艰难，所以Darla一直勤加练习，Patty却认为自己天赋异禀，因而疏于练习。在开学前一周，Mrs. Cane又开展了一次网球培训课，然而这次Patty却表现得不好。
2.写作思路: 续写第一段的开头语是“开学前一周，Mrs. Cane又开了一次培训课”，故本段应围绕培训课上发生的事情展开，再结合短文内容顽续写第二段的开头语“在回家的路上Patty忍不住想她糟糕的表现”可知，Patty和Darla应该是再次参加了培训课，所以续写第一段可描述两人在课上的表现。根据短文最后一段对Darla勤奋练习的描述可推测，Darla应会取得进步，而Patty表现不佳。根据续写第二段的开头语可知，本段应介绍Patty 表现不佳后发生的事，如在经过一番思考后Patty意识到自己落后的原因以及勤奋练习的重要性、Patty主动找Darla训练或者希望加入Darla所在的网球队等。
