A
Encouraging life to bloom(兴旺) in the middle of a desert is no easy task. But one company in the United Arab Emirates has come up with a plan to provide drinking water for the state’s citizens. The company intends to drag icebergs from Antarctica to the gulf coast in order to harvest its fresh water.
The company plans to source the massive blocks of ice from Heard Island, around 600 miles off the coast of mainland Antarctica. It will then transport them around 5，500 miles to Fujairah, one part of the UAE. One iceberg could provide enough water for one million people over five years, according to the company.
The company’s director says they have already travelled the transportation route and checked the possibility of the scheme, according to reports in Gulf News. Speaking to the site about what he is calling the UAE Iceberg Project, Abdullah Mohammad Sulaiman Al Shehi said, “We have made the technical and financial plan. We will start the project at the beginning of 2018. We want it mainly for the water. It could also be good for tourism and the weather.”
The UAE is one of the driest countries in the world, due to its extremely arid climate, which receives less than four inches of rainfall per year. Despite that, it consumes more water than double the global national average, putting the country at severe risk of droughts over the next 25 years.
An average iceberg contains more than 20 billion gallons of water, according to the company. The iceberg takes a long time to melt as 80 percent of it is under the water, while the white ice above reflects sunlight and deflects(使转向) its heat. Blocks of ice will be placed in giant tanks, before being processed. “This is the purest water in the world，” Mr. Al Shehi added.
1．What can we learn about the UAE project?
A．It will help the UAE harvest fresh water.
B．It will encourage life to boom in Antarctica.
C．It will put the UAE at severe risk of droughts.
D．It will completely change the climate in the UAE.
2．Where could the block of ice come from?
A．The Atlantic Ocean.　　 B．Fujairah.
C．The Gulf. D．Heard Island.
3．Which of the following may NOT benefit from the project?
A．The local people. B．Antarctica.
C．The weather. D．Tourism.

A walk through the galleries of Quebec’s Montreal Museum of Fine Arts(MMFA) places individuals face­to­face with some 43，000 artworks ranging from Chinese ceramics to Inuit sculpture.
While the visiting is an incredible cultural experience, a group of local physicians will soon be able to prescribe(开处方) museum visits as treatment for some illnesses.
“We know that art contributes to neural(神经的) activity，” said MMFA director Nathalie Bondil. “What we see is that being in contact with art can really help your well­being.”
Hélène Boyer, vice president of a Montreal­based medical association, explains that museum visits have been shown to increase levels of serotonin, a neurotransmitter(神经递质) known as the “happy chemical” which helps to lift the mood.
According to Boyer, the small increase in hormones associated with enjoying an afternoon of art is similar to that offered by exercise, making museum visits prescriptions ideal for the elderly experiencing pain that prevents them from regularly joining in physical activity.
The museum visits are designed to improve traditional methods. As Bondil notes, spending time in a peaceful environment can provide a welcome distraction. “What is most important is this experience can help them escape from their own pain,” she says. “When you enter the museum, you escape from the speed of our daily life.”
“I am convinced that in the 21st century, culture will be what physical activity was for health in the 20th century,” said Bondil. “Some people would do well to recall that just in the 19th century, sports were believed to do harm to the body. Just as doctors now prescribe exercise, they will be able to prescribe a visit to the MMFA.”
4．What does Hélène Boyer think of museum visits?
A．They can cheer people up.
B．They can reduce physical activity.
C．They can slow down our life pace.
D．They can increase levels of art appreciation.
5．How do museum visits affect people?
A．Stop them concentrating on pain.
B．Stop them focusing on traditional methods.
C．Encourage them not to be absent­minded.
D．Encourage them to slow their steps while walking.
6．What does the last paragraph suggest?
A．Physical activity was popular in the 19th century.
B．Sports are considered to be harmful to the body.
C．Ideas of treating illnesses are changing over time.
D．Doctors prescribe museum visits regularly now.
7．What is the main idea of the text?
A．Museum visits are ideal for the elderly.
B．The happy chemical helps to lift the mood.
C．Peaceful environment helps escape pain.
D．Cultural activities will promote health.
C
The idea that richer countries are happier may seem intuitively obvious. However, in 1974, research by economist Richard Easterlin found otherwise, He discovered that while individuals with higher incomes were more likely to be happy, this did not hold at a national level. In the United States, for example, average income per person rose steadily between 1946 and 1970, but reported happiness levels showed no positive long-term trend.; in fact, they declined between 1060 and 1970. These differences between nation-level and individual results gave rise to the term “ Easterlin paradox”: the idea that a higher rate of economic growth does not result in higher long-term happiness.
Having access to additional income seems to only provide a temporary surge in happiness. Since a certain minimum income is needed for basic necessities, it’s possible that the happiness boost from extra cash isn’t that great once you rise above the poverty line. This would explain Easterlin’s findings in the United States and other developed countries. He argued that life satisfaction does rise with average incomes but only in the short term.
Recent research has challenged the Easternlin paradox, however. In2013, sociologists Ruut Veenhoven and Floris Vergunst conducted a study using statistics from the World Database of Happiness. Their analysis revealed a positive correlation between economic growth and happiness. Another study by the University of Michigan found that there is no maximum wealth threshold at which more money ceases to contribute to your happiness: “If there is a satiation point, we are yet to reach it.” The study’s findings suggested that every extra dollar you earn makes you happier. With a much debate about the relationship between money and happiness, it’s clear that happiness itself is a complex concept and depends on many factors.
According to psychologists Selin Kesebir and Shigehiro Oishi, happiness also depends on how your income compares to the people around you. They argue that a country’s economic growth only makes its citizens happier if wealth is evenly distributed. In emerging countries with high income inequality—where the rich get richer and the poor get poorer—average happiness tends to drop because only relatively few people benefit from the economic prosperity. This suggests that governments should consider implementing policies to ensure more equal distribution of wealth. The happier people are, the more productive they are likely to become, thus leading to improved economic outcomes at the individual and national levels.
There is continuing debate about the link between wealth and happiness, with arguments both for and against the notion that richer countries are happier. However, it is clear that wealth alone isn’t enough to make us happy. The effect of income inequality on happiness shows that happiness is a social responsibility. We need to remember the positive effects of generosity, altruism, and building social connections. Perhaps our focus should be less on how much money we have, and more on how we use it.
8. According to the passage, Easterlin Paradox refers to .
A.the fact that the more money, the happier people will feel
B.the suggestion that money should be given the top priority
C.the question how economic outcomes are distributed nationwide
D.the opinion that higher income doesn’t necessarily generate happiness
9. The word “satiation” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to “ ”.
A.satisfaction B.controversial C.central D.sensitive
10. What is the major reason for people’s unhappiness related to money?
A.Money not enough. B.Money not fairly dirtributed.
C.Rich people richer D.Unequal money paid for equal work.
11. Which of the following might be best title of this passage?
A.It’s all relative B.Easternlin paradox
C.The economic of happiness D.Rising income, rising happiness
D
I look around and can’t recognize where I am. It seems familiar but distant. I see my friends gather by a stage where music is playing and I run over. As I begin running towards them, they become further and further away. I keep calling them, but no one hears me. I start hearing a distant alarm­like sound and I am transported away. I woke up in a daze(茫然) sitting in my bed.
“Oh, it was only a dream，” I said to myself, I have always had vivid and intense dreams. Sometimes, it feels like I haven’t even slept because I have been living in my dreams during my sleep.
Today, dreaming is being studied even more than ever. Some say that dreams are how your receptors(感受器) make sense of random thoughts while you sleep. Some say that you can’t dream of a face you have never seen before, so everyone you see in your dreams is whom you have at least laid eyes on at one time or another.
Other people think dreams are ways of expressing stress or internal feelings you may be experiencing. A lot of people say that they have dreams about being chased(追逐).
A common interpretation of the “being chased” dream is that you are feeling threatened. Some dream interpretation sites say you should try to reflect on what or who is chasing you to get a better idea of what is making you feel this way.
Another dream that is often experienced is flying. This dream has a much more positive interpretation, which is that you are feeling free or have broken out of a bad situation such as a relationship turning sour or a job you hate.
Unfortunately, you may forget half of your dream within five minutes of waking up and within 10 minutes, you usually forget 90 percent of it.
Dreamologists, people who devote time to the study and interpretation of dreams, suggest if you want to try to remember and study your dreams you should keep a diary beside your bed and write down what you dreamt as soon as you wake up so you can reflect on it later.
12．Dreams of “being chased” occur because ．
A．you are feeling threatened
B．you just quit a job you hate
C．your friends are far away from you when you are in need
D．your receptors are always thinking while you sleep
13．Why should we keep a diary beside our bed to reflect on dreams?
A．We need to chase those people who appeared in our dreams.
B．We usually forget 90 percent of a dream within 10 minutes.
C．It can help us get out of the intense dreams.
D．It can help us sleep well without dreams.
14．Where can we read this article?
A．In a poster.
B．In a physics book.
C．In a travelling magazine.
D．In a science newspaper.
15．What is the best title for the passage?
A．Why Am I Always Dreaming
B．How Is My Dream Created
C．What Do My Dreams Mean
D．How to Avoid Dreams

Living with other people can be difficult, especially when each person has their own ideas about how they want to live. 16. . Taking a few simple steps will help you share your living space harmoniously.

19. ．

Communicate effectively.
Communication is key in making the relationship work. If a problem comes up, it’s better to talk about it right away than to ignore it.

阅读理解B
【解题导语】　本文是一篇说明文。参观博物馆不仅能让人们接受艺术的熏陶，还能舒缓心情、治疗疾病。
4．A　解析：细节理解题。根据第四段“Hélène Boyer, vice president of a Montreal­based medical association, explains that museum visits have been shown to increase levels of serotonin, a neurotransmitter(神经递质) known as the ‘happy chemical’ which helps to lift the mood.”可知，一个总部设在蒙特利尔的医学协会的副主席Hélène Boyer解释说，参观博物馆被证明可以提高血清素水平，血清素是一种被称为“快乐化学物质”的神经递质，它有助于振奋情绪；据此可知，Hélène Boyer认为参观博物馆可以帮助人们振作起来，故A项正确。
5．A　解析：细节理解题。根据第六段中的“What is most important is this experience can help them escape from their own pain”可知，参观博物馆可以让人们逃离痛苦，故A项正确。
6．C　解析：推理判断题。根据尾段最后两句“Some people would do well to recall that just in the 19th century, sports were believed to do harm to the body. Just as doctors now prescribe exercise, they will be able to prescribe a visit to the MMFA.”可知，在19世纪，体育运动被认为对身体有害；现在，就像医生给病人开运动处方一样，人们将能给病人开去蒙特利尔美术博物馆参观的处方。据此可推知，治疗疾病的方法随着时间的变化而改变，故C项正确。
7．D　解析：主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章第一段通过描述参观蒙特利尔美术博物馆引入本文话题，接着介绍当地医生将给病人开参观博物馆的处方来治疗一些疾病，然后重点介绍了艺术欣赏对人的健康的积极作用，故D项符合文意。

阅读理解C
8. D解析本题中Easternlin Paradox 指的是什么，在第一段最后一句话就直接点出，是指收入高的人不一定更开心，因此选D。
9. A解析本题要求推断satiation一词的意思。前文提到there is no maximum wealth threshold，指还没有一个临界点，在这个点上钱将不会使人开心。因此可以推测，应该是如果有这样一个让人满足的点，我们还没有达到，因此选A。
10. B本题问的是什么和钱有关的事会使人不开心，要审清题目。在第三段中提到，只有财富平均分配了人才会开心，建议政府也应该对财富的unequal distribution采取措施，因此选B。
11. C本题选文章题目。首先A选项说的太泛了没有一个具体的内容，因此不选。B选项的Easternlin Paradox只是钱与幸福关系中的一种理论，并不能概括全文，文中作者说并没有给一个定论，财富的增长一定会使人开心，因此D也错误，只有C选项合适。
阅读理解D
【解题导语】　本文是一篇说明文，作者通过讲述自己做的梦来引出话题，分析了梦所代表的意义。

13．B　解析：细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“you may forget half of your dream within five minutes of waking up and within 10 minutes，you usually forget 90 percent of it”可知，人可能会在醒来后5分钟内忘掉一半的梦，10分钟内，往往已经忘掉了90%。因此我们可以在床边放一本日记本，方便醒来后马上把梦写下来。故选B项。
14．D　解析：文章出处题。通读全文可知，本文对梦进行了分析，并对梦中“被追逐”和“飞翔” 进行了解读，因此本文属于科学范畴，故选D项。
15．C　解析：标题归纳题。通读全文并根据第三段中的“Some say that dreams are how your receptors(感受器) make sense of random thoughts while you sleep.”及第四段中的“Other people think dreams are ways of expressing stress or internal feelings you may be experiencing.”可知，本文对梦所代表的意义进行了分析，故选C项。

42. [drinks]考查主谓一致和时态。句意参考上题解析。此处与has，exercises和eats等作并列谓语，时态为一般现在时，应该用第三人称单数形式，故填drinks。
43. [to have]考查不定式。句意参考第1题解析。be likely to do表示“可能做某事”，故填to have。
44.[than]考查介词。句意：研究表明，这可能更多地与后天因素有关，而不是先天因素，因为母亲的生活方式似乎与孩子的健康直接相关。根据前面的“more”判断此处用than表示比较，故填than。
45.[ directly]考查副词。句意参考上题解析。修饰linked用副词，故填directly。
46. [is reduced] 考查时态和语态。句意：这项对24,000名儿童进行的研究发现，当母亲和孩子都遵循健康的生活方式时，肥胖的风险甚至会降低更多。描述的是客观事实，the risk of obesity与reduce之间是被动关系，应该用一般现在时的被动语态，故填is reduced。
47.[to] 考查介词。这项研究调查了美国近17,000名妇女所生的24,000多名9到14岁的儿童的病史和生活方式。from…to…表示“从……到”，故填to。
48.[being]考查分词作定语。句意：研究人员研究了母亲的整体健康状况与孩子肥胖的可能性之间的关系。child是逻辑主语，空格处作介词of的宾语用动名词，故填being。
49.[activity]考查名词。句意：母亲的健康状况由身高体重比、饮食、运动量、吸烟情况和饮酒量等因素决定。此处的运动表示抽象意义，不可数，故填activity。
50.[an]考查冠词。句意：健康的体重和饮食，定期锻炼，不吸烟以及适度饮酒都能降低女性生一个肥胖孩子的几率。此处泛指一个肥胖的孩子，obese以元音音素开头，故填an。

第三部分　写作
第一节　短文改错
My brother me how to ride a bike last month. went to a nearby park together he told me the skill patiently. Several days later, I finally succeeded in fully mastering of④ the skill. In fact, bike riding has . First, my home is not far away from the school and it is so for me to go to school by bike. ， bike riding is good exercise. By a bike to and from school, I have a chance of getting enough exercise every day. At last, it is also undoubtedly wise choice for our environment because riding bikes air pollution.
答案解析
①teaches改为taught。时态错误。本句谈的是在上个月发生的事情，应用一般过去时。
②I改为We。代词错误。根据语境以及下文中的“together”“he told me the skill patiently”等信息可知，此处应为“我们(我和我哥哥)一起去附近的公园”。
③when改为where。关系词错误。此处的关系词引导定语从句，先行词为park，关系词在从句中作地点状语，故用where，表示“在那里他耐心地告知我技巧”。
④删除mastering后的of。介词多用。此处master是及物动词，后面的of多余。
⑤advantage改为advantages。名词单复数错误。advantage在此处表示“优点，好处”，且下文列举了不止一种好处，故用复数形式。
⑥convenience改为convenient。考查形容词。根据前面的is和so可知，此处应用形容词。
⑦Beside改为Besides。副词错误。beside是介词，“在……旁边”(相当于next to)。besides是副词，“此外，而且”，通常置于句首。根据语境可知，此处要用副词Besides。
【知识拓展】　besides还可作介词用，意为“除……之外”。如：There will be five of us for dinner, besides John.除约翰外，还有我们五个人要一起吃饭。
⑧ride改为riding。非谓语动词错误。ride位于介词By之后，应用动名词形式。
⑨在undoubtedly前加an。冠词漏用。此处choice是可数名词，且根据语境可知，此处表示“一个毋庸置疑的明智选择”，故用不定冠词表泛指，且undoubtedly的发音以元音音素开头，故用an。
⑩reduce改为reduces。主谓一致错误。riding bikes是动名词短语作主语，谓语要用第三人称单数形式。
