There’s no other time of year quite like fall. Cool mornings give way to afternoons warmed by the sun and the changes in temperature create beautiful colors before winter sets in. So, grab your camera for one of nature’s most impressive spectacles—the changing colors of the leaves during fall.
Acadia National Park, Maine
Peak leaf season in Acadia traditionally falls within the first two weeks of October. This is when you will see the bright displays of oranges, reds and yellows. While visiting Acadia, plan to stay at the nearby coastal town of Bar Harbor, which is considered to be the gateway to the park. While in town, treat yourself to a traditional lobster dinner at Beal’s Lobster Pier.
The Berkshires, Massachusetts
Peak season starts around Columbus Day weekend in mid-October, and you can expect to see colors ranging from golden yellows to vivid oranges and deep reds. The Berkshires features world class entertainment, cultural offerings and a deep-rooted food culture with many locally focused dining options.
Mckenzie River Scenic Byway, Oregon
Plan your visit for peak season when the golds and reds are most bright, usually in mid-October. The Mckenzie River has some of the best fly-fishing sports in Oregon. For a great getaway that includes days spent on fly-fishing, whitewater rafting and hiking to waterfalls, make reservations at Eagle Rock Lodge for a romantic bed and breakfast.
Charlottesville, Virginia
Mid to late October is when you’ll usually see the most dazzling red, orange and yellow leaves, but the colors can linger into early November. When you’re not watching leaves, plan to visit Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello, the former home, gardens and grounds of the third president of the United States. In the evenings, enjoy live music at the Mill room.
1. What can tourists appreciate in both Acadia and the Berkshires?
A. Coastal scenery. B. Historical buildings.

Her organization Youth Art For Healing is based in Bethesda, MD. It provides opportunities for students to learn about the nature of healing art, the power of art to heal, how to follow guidelines for healing art, and the value of building and strengthening community connections and spirit. As students share their talent with those in need, they come to the realization that they can make a difference.
Papirmeister was awarded a Society for the Arts in Healthcare grant to bring artworks to patients, their families and hospital staff. She also received two SCORE Awards for her efforts to comfort patients and their families. This woman is a shining example of an artist and healer who uses the healing power of art to bring huge benefits to children, patients, their loved ones, healthcare providers, and the community at large.

The fossil (化石)discovery in Victoria now shows that monk seals were widespread in Australasia in the past.
“Monk seals are one of the rarest and most endangered marine mammals (海洋哺乳动物)alive today, but this wasn’t always the case,” according to lead study author Dr. James Rule from Monash University. “Our paper shows that the very endangered monk seals once called Australia home about five million years ago(specifically in Victoria),” he said.
The discovery was made by studying two fossils again from Melbourne Museum’s collections the identity of which had been a mystery for 40 years. “When we studied them, they turned out to be the oldest evidence of monk seals,” Dr. Rule said. “These fossils, along with the extinct New Zealand species that was discovered last year, double the known diversity of the monk seals,” he said.
According to Dr. Rule, monk seals disappeared in Australasia three million years ago, and they only lived in the tropics (热带地区)and the Mediterranean after temperatures fell during the Ice Ages. This left monk seals on the edge of disappearance after being overhunted by humans, with about 2,000 members left.
The discovery of New Zealand species and Australian monk seals led the researchers to restudy the origin of the group. “Our research shows that monk seals began in Australia,” Dr. Rule said. “This is different from every theory previously put forward by scientists.”
Previous research has theorized climate change led to the disappearance of many ancient seals in the Southern Hemisphere. This would have included New Zealand’s and Australian monk seals. “This suggests the world’s last two species of monk seal are also at risk from climate change,” Dr. Rule said. If sea level continues to rise, the beaches monk seals rely on for resting and raising young ones may disappear.
8. What does the new discovery show about monk seals?
A. Their living habits. B. Their growth process.
C. Their early appearance. D. Their ways of getting food.
9. What do we know about the two fossils from Melbourne Museum?
A. Researcher found it hard to keep them in good condition.
B. Researchers manged to identify them after many years.
C. They were once thought to be fossils of birds.
D. They were first discovered last year.
10. What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 4 probably refer to?
A. Fighting water pollution. B. Suffering from a lack of food.
C. Having limited living places. D. Facing increasing natural enemies.
11. What does the author want to tell us in the last paragraph?
A. Climate change always threatens monk seals’ survival.
B. Scientists can now measure the rate of global warming.
C. Human activity in Australia should be strictly limited.
D. People need to help raise young monk seals.
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. C 11. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。僧海豹是现存的最稀少、最濒危的海洋哺乳生物之一。研究人员通过对两块古老化石的研究，发现僧海豹以前广泛存在于大西洋地区，但由于气候变化的影响，这些地区的僧海豹都消失灭绝，最后说明气候变化一直威胁着僧海豹的生存。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“The fossil (化石)discovery in Victoria now shows that monk seals were widespread in Australasia in the past.(现在在维多利亚发现的化石表明，僧海豹过去在大洋洲广泛存在。)”可知，新研究发现表明僧海豹以前在大洋洲广泛存在，说明了僧海豹早期就露过面了。故选C项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的“The discovery was made by studying two fossils again from Melbourne Museum’s collections, the identity of which had been a mystery for 40 years.(这一发现是在再次研究墨尔本博物馆收藏的两块化石后发现的，这两块化石的身份40年来一直是一个谜)”可知，这两块化石的身份40年来一直是个谜，说明它们的身份一直没解开，由此可知出研究人员们一直设法想解开这两块化石的身份，与B项互为同义表达。故选B项。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据文章第四段内容“According to Dr. Rule, monk seals disappeared in Australasia three million years ago, and they only lived in the tropics (热带地区)and the Mediterranean after temperatures fell during the Ice Ages. This left monk seals on the edge of disappearance after being overhunted by humans, with about 2,000 members left.(据鲁尔博士说，僧海豹在300万年前就在大洋洲消失了，它们只在冰河时期气温下降后才生活在热带和地中海地区。这使得僧海豹在被人类过度捕杀后处于消失的边缘，目前约有2000名僧海豹成员。)”可知，指示代词this指代前面的“they only lived in the tropics（热带地区）and the Mediterranean after temperatures fell during the Ice Ages.(只在冰河时期生活气温下降后才生活在热带和地中海地区)”即非常有限的生活空间。故选C项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段内容“Previous research has theorized climate change led to the disappearance of many ancient seals in the Southern Hemisphere. This would have included New Zealand’s and Australian monk seals. “This suggests the world’s last two species of monk seal are also at risk from climate change,” Dr. Rule said. If sea level continues to rise, the beaches monk seals rely on for resting and raising young ones may disappear.(此前的研究从理论上认为，气候变化导致了南半球许多古海豹的消失。其中包括新西兰和澳大利亚的僧海豹。“这表明，世界上最后两种僧海豹也面临着气候变化的风险，”鲁尔博士说。如果海平面继续上升，僧海豹赖以休息和养育幼崽的海滩可能会消失。)”可知，气候变化导致了许多古海豹的消失，其中就包括了新西兰和澳大利亚僧海豹，如果海平面继续上升的话，僧海豹赖以生存的海滩也会消失，进而威胁到僧海豹。这一整段内容都在讲气候变化给海豹带来的影响，由此可推知气候变化一直威胁着僧海豹的存在。故选A项。
D
Black taxis have been a common sight in London for decades. Now these taxis and their drivers have become the focus of a new exploration into Alzheimer’s (阿兹海默症). For those on the outside, it may seem that behind the wheel of these black taxis are just regular people who help move us to our destinations. But within their brains is a map of London’s streets that has put GPS technology to shame for decades.
“The Knowledge”, the test for London’s taxi drivers, stands among the hardest mental examinations one could ever undergo. It involves recalling information repeatedly from the memory of minute details about 56,0000 streets in London, from Trafalgar Square to the tiniest residential lanes.
Normally, the hippocampus (海马体) feels the effects of Alzheimer’s most. University College London and Alzheimer’s Research UK are studying these taxi drivers’ brains, as it has been found that the hippocampus controlling the brain’s short-term memory and spatial (空间的) memory systems is enlarged in their brains. Moreover, the taxi drivers’ hippocampi continue to enlarge as they go on doing the job for more years, suggesting that perhaps there’s something we can do to reproduce the effect in the general population.
Lead researcher Hugo Spiers was part of the team which 20 years ago found that, like birds and squirrels, the taxi drivers’ hippocampi gradually got bigger. Indeed, research has found for years that any animal that requires a detailed spatial knowledge of their territory experiences growth in the hippocampus.
Spiers’ team hopes to deal with Alzheimer’s by studying the taxi drivers’ brains. To collect more information on the mechanisms (机制) that cause the “brain gain”, Spiers has asked thirty of London’s taxi drivers connected to an MRI machine to drive around on their routes. The machine will allow the researchers to gather real time observations of the workings of the hippocampus. “It’s been a joy to help scientists fight with the disease,” said taxi driver Robert Lordan.
12. What can we say about “The Knowledge”?
A. It lasts for a few minutes only. B. It is usually held in London’s busy streets.
C. It is a great challenge to people’s memory. D. It invites some residents in London to be judges.
13. What has been found about the taxi drivers’ hippocampi?
A. They are more likely to be harmed. B. They grow in the taxi drivers’ careers.
C. They benefit from daily communication most. D. They are poor at controlling short-term memory.
14. Why does the author mention the research on animals?
A. To imply the new study benefits the animal kingdom as well.
B. To point out that more studies on animals’ brains are needed.
C. To show animals’ hippocampi are very different from humans’.
D. To prove the use of certain knowledge influences brain development.
15. Why do the researchers observe the taxi drivers with an MRI machine?
A. To figure out who has the largest hippocampus.
B. To know how Alzheimer’s develops in their brains.
C. To find out how their hippocampi perform at work.
D. To test whether the special machine is effective.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了在伦敦出租车和司机已经成为研究阿兹海默症的新焦点，在他们的大脑中隐藏着一张伦敦街道地图，几十年来，它让GPS技术相形见绌。这主要是他们大脑中的海马体会随着工作年限的延长而继续扩大。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“It involves recalling information repeatedly from the memory of minute details about 56,0000 streets in London, from Trafalgar Square to the tiniest residential lanes.(它涉及从伦敦56万条街道的细节记忆中反复回忆信息，从特拉法加广场到最小的住宅小巷)”可知，The Knowledge对人的记忆力是一个很大的挑战。故选C项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Moreover, the taxi drivers’ hippocampi continue to enlarge as they go on doing the job for more years, suggesting that perhaps there’s something we can do to reproduce the effect in the general population.(此外，出租车司机的海马体随着他们从事这项工作多年而不断扩大，这表明也许我们可以做些什么来在普通人群中重现这种影响)”可知，海马体在出租车司机的职业生涯中成长。故选B项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Indeed, research has found for years that any animal that requires a detailed spatial knowledge of their territory experiences growth in the hippocampus.(事实上，多年来的研究发现，任何需要详细领地空间知识的动物都会经历海马体的生长)”可知，作者提到动物（鸟类和松鼠）的研究是为了证明某些知识的长期使用会影响大脑的发育。故选D项。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“To collect more information on the mechanisms that cause the “brain gain”. Spiers has asked thirty of London’s taxi drivers connected to an MRI machine to drive around on their routes.(为了收集更多关于“大脑增益”机制的信息，斯皮尔斯已经要求30名连接到核磁共振成像仪的伦敦出租车司机在他们的路线上四处开车)”可知，斯皮尔斯使用核磁共振成像仪的目的是收集更多关于导致“大脑增益”的机制的信息，即弄清楚他们的海马体在工作中的表现。故选C项。
第二节（共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
The most relaxing colors are generally believed to be cool shades such as green and blue. ____16____ So we can often see these colors in hospitals, test centers, and television stations, where people may want some help to ease their nerves and bad emotions.
Home designers note that people often describe rooms painted blue and green as relaxing and comfortable. As a result, architects often use colors from the cool part of the color circle in bedrooms and bathrooms. ____17____
Driving down a highway. you’ll notice that some signs consist of white letters on a dark green background. ____18____ Another place where we see green used is in the “green room” of theaters or television studios because nervous performers are quieted by the color. This is also the reason why doctors wear green clothes in the operating room. And prison cells often paint their walls green for the same effect.
____19____ Our eyes sense color using tiny sensors sensitive to the red light, the green light or the blue light. However, generally they are the most sensitive to the green light. Researchers think that this sensitivity to green objects might affect hormonal production that in turn influences the mood. What’s more, recent studies have shown that when a person looks at the green colored paper or is placed in a green room, their heart rate drops, blood pressure lowers, and muscles relax. ____20____ So next time you’re feeling nervous or upset, please try to focus your eyes on something green instead of red.
A. There was research into colors in ancient times.
B. In contrast, hot colors cause these to rise.
C. Different colors can cause different psychological reactions.
D. Engineers determine such signs won’t get people’s eyes tired.
E. And painters often use blues and greens on walls and ceilings.
F. Scientists have found some evidence for the magic power of green.
G. It is agreed that the two can make us feel calm, balanced and less emotional.
【答案】16. G 17. E 18. D 19. F 20. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章说明了最令人放松的颜色就是蓝色和绿色，因为这些颜色能让人放松、减压，因此很多人会把卧室和浴室漆成蓝色或绿色，甚至很多高速公路路标也会采用暗绿色的背景。
【16题详解】
上文“The most relaxing colors are generally believed to be cool shades such as green and blue.”提到了最令人放松的两种颜色：蓝色和绿色；而下文“So we can often see these colors in hospitals, test centers, and television stations, where people may want some help to ease their nerves and bad emotions.”则提到了经常在医院、测试中心和电视台看到这两种颜色，人们可能需要一些帮助来缓解紧张和不良情绪。由此可推知，设空处表明了这两种颜色具有某种功用，所以医院等地方才会经常用到。G项“It is agreed that the two can make us feel calm, balanced and less emotional.(人们一致认为，这两者可以让我们感到平静、平衡、不那么情绪化。)”中的“the two”与上文蓝色和绿色两种颜色对应，“make us feel calm, balanced and less emotional”则对应下文的“help to ease their nerves and bad emotions”。故选G项。
【17题详解】
上文“Home designers note that people often describe rooms painted blue and green as relaxing and comfortable. As a result, architects often use colors from the cool part of the color circle in bedrooms and bathrooms. As a result, architects often use colors from the cool part of the color circle in bedrooms and bathrooms.”提到了家居设计师注意到人们认为漆成蓝色和绿色的卧室很放松和舒适，因此，建筑师经常在卧室和浴室中使用比较冷淡的颜色。由此可知，这一段都是与家居设计相关的内容，故下文也应保持一致。E项“And painters often use blues and greens on walls and ceilings.(油漆工也经常在墙壁和天花板上使用蓝色和绿色。)”中的“walls and ceilings”恰好与上文中的“bedrooms and bathrooms”对应。故选E项。
【18题详解】
上文“Driving down a highway. you’ll notice that some signs consist of white letters on a dark green background.”提到了高速路上的一些标志的背景底色也是暗绿色的；下文“Another place where we see green used is in the “green room” of theaters or television studios because nervous performers are quieted by the color.”提到了另一个经常看到绿色的地方就是剧院或电视演播室的“绿房间”，因为紧张的演员看到绿色能安静下来。由此可推知，设空处应该与使用绿色的原因相关。D项“Engineers determine such signs won’t get people’s eyes tired.(工程师们认为这样的标志不会让人们的眼睛感到疲劳。)”中的“such signs won’t get people’s eyes tired”恰好与上文的“some signs consist of white letters on a dark green background”相对应。故选D项。
【19题详解】
设空处段首，故需要一个总括句。下文“Our eyes sense color using tiny sensors sensitive to the red light, the green light or the blue light. However, generally they are the most sensitive to the green light. Researchers think that this sensitivity to green objects might affect hormonal production that in turn influences the mood.”提到了，我们的眼睛通过对红光、绿光或蓝光敏感的微型传感器来感知颜色，但一般对绿光最敏感。研究人员认为，这种对绿色物体的敏感性可能会影响荷尔蒙的产生，进而影响情绪。F项“Scientists have found some evidence for the magic power of green.(科学家们已经发现了绿色魔力的一些证据。)”中的“Scientists”与下文的“Researchers”对应，且也是在重点强调绿色的作用，与下文对应。故选F项。
【20题详解】
上文“What’s more, recent studies have shown that when a person looks at the green colored paper or is placed in a green room, their heart rate drops, blood pressure lowers, and muscles relax.”提到了当一个人看着绿色的彩纸或被放在绿色的房间里时，他们的心率会下降，血压会降低，肌肉会放松。而下文“So next time you’re feeling nervous or upset, please try to focus your eyes on something green instead of red.”提到了感到紧张或不安时，试着把眼睛集中在绿色而不是红色的东西上。由此可推知，设空处提到了红色这一概念。B项“In contrast, hot colors cause these to rise.(相比之下，火热的颜色使这些上升。)”提到了“火热的颜色”，恰好对应下文的“red”，而these则指代前面的heart rate、blood pressure、muscles。故选B项。

It is not only ____38____ ancient artistic form of human language, but it also reflects Chinese traditions.
As someone who paints, draws, and loves all ____39____ (create) things, at first, I assumed I would be rather good at Chinese calligraphy. I was ____40____ (total) wrong.

I have no idea about the different types of calligraphy and the meanings ____42____ (hide) behind each one.

I need to be extra careful when changing the angle or____44____ (direct) of the brush, especially if I press too hard on the paper.
After taking the lesson, I now understand the difficulty of calligraphy and that it will take efforts and commitment ____45____ (master) this art form. Yet, I am grateful to learn such a special Chinese tradition.
【答案】36. was listed
37. whose 38. an
39. creative
40. totally
41. is 42. hidden
43. unlike 44. direction
45. to master
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了一位热爱艺术的外国人学习中国书法的经历。
【36题详解】
考查动词语态。句意：当我来到中国时，学习中国书法被列为必须做的事情之一。根据“when I came to China”可知，此处应用一般过去时。动词list意为“列举”，和主语构成被动关系。主语为动名词，谓语应用第三人称单数。故填was listed。
【37题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：现在，我正在学习这门独特的艺术，它的价值在中国甚至在今天的东亚都被认为非常高。此处是非限制性定语从句，先行词是art，在从句中作value的定语，应用关系代词whose引导。故填whose。
【38题详解】
考查冠词。句意：它不仅是人类语言的一种古老艺术形式，而且反映了中国的传统。名词form意为“形式”，为可数名词，此处为第一次出现，所以应用不定冠词表示泛指，ancient是以辅音音素开头的词，应用an。故填an。
【39题详解】
考查形容词。句意：作为一个绘画、作图和热爱一切创造性事物的人，一开始，我以为我会相当擅长中国书法。修饰名词things，应用形容词creative，表示“创造性的”作定语。故填creative。
【40题详解】
考查副词。句意：我完全错了。修饰形容词wrong，应用副词totally，表示“完全地”作状语。故填totally。
【41题详解】
考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意：对于初学者来说，使用粗笔尖来产生难处理的笔触是非常困难的。此处描述客观事实，所以应用一般现在时。动名词作主语，谓语应用第三人称单数。故填is。
【42题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：我不知道书法的不同类型以及每一种书法背后隐藏的含义。动词hide意为“隐藏”，和谓语之间没有连词，和逻辑主语meanings构成被动关系，且动作已完成，所以应用过去分词作后置定语。故填hidden。
【43题详解】
考查介词。句意：此外，我必须以一种非常特殊的方式握住画笔；与钢笔或铅笔不同，画笔笔直地握在手中。根据“I have to hold the paintbrush in a very specific way”可知，此处是指与钢笔或铅笔不同，所以应用介词unlike表示“不同于”。故填unlike。
【44题详解】
考查名词。句意：在改变画笔的角度或方向时，我需要格外小心，尤其是当我用力按压纸张时。此处应用名词direction表示“方向”作动词changing的宾语。故填direction。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：在上了这堂课之后，我现在明白了书法的难度，并且需要努力和投入才能掌握这种艺术形式。此处用it作形式主语，to do不定式为真正的主语。故填to master。

第二节（满分25分）
47. 阅读下面材料，根据所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
There’s a special boy in my son’s class. Everyone thinks he is a bad kid. I’ve heard that he talks loudly, disrupts（扰乱）the class with bursts of negative comments, and doesn’t participate in groups. He also stands out as the tallest. Other parents tell his mother they’re scared of him. Yet he has never been physically aggressive. Sometimes he even shows kindness to others in need of help.
I’ll call him Joe. Most parents and kids don’t know Joe has Asperger syndrome. People with the disease must learn about socially proper behavior. It’s very hard for Joe to control his social behavior. He has worked hard since second grade. However, he has few friends who support him with positive comments.
Joe is in the highest-level math and reading classes. He wanted to join an activity club in school, but parent volunteers refused him. They didn’t acknowledge that he had been working hard to fit into the school’s social networks. I wish those parents had seen Joe walking home from school one cold winter day in January and how he had offered his help warmly.
Driving by, I saw him run and kneel down by a little girl lying on the ground. Joe brushed the hair from her eyes and smiled. She smiled back through tears, having slipped and fallen on the ice. Joe took off his coat and spread it out, and then he helped her move to sit on it. He also gathered her belongings and put them on his coat. He wiped the snow from her knees and hands, moving her arms to check for injury. Then Joe helped her up, took her hand and walked her home. He carried her pack and then rang. her doorbell. When her sister rushed her inside, the little girl smiled back at Joe. Then he set her pack down by the door and walked home happily.
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。
I stopped by Joe’s house later.

His mother expressed gratitude to me as she showed me to the door.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version :
I stopped by Joe’s house later. I asked to talk to him and his mother looked worried. When I said I would praise him for his good behavior, she looked so surprised. I told Joe that I had seen him help a little girl on his way back home, and that I didn’t get out of my car because he had everything under control. I told him that he handled the emergency perfectly and that I thought he was a hero. Then I saw Joe’s beautiful smile again.
His mother expressed gratitude to me as she showed me to the door. She was moved to tears because it was so rare for Joe to show kindness and to be recognized in a positive way. As a mother, she always worries about her son’s future and the challenges he faces from society. After that, I tried my best to let more kids and parents know about Joe. We began to treat him with more patience. Later, Joe became a member of the activity club. And he has lots of friends now.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者儿子班级中的一个特殊孩子Joe。每个人都认为他是一个坏孩子。但他从未有过身体攻击。有时他甚至对需要帮助的人表现出善意。事实上，班级里的孩子们不知道他患有一种罕见的疾病，在这种疾病的影响下，Joe无法控制自己的行为。Joe积极努力地想要融入班级的同学中，可是其他的孩子不接受他。一次偶然的事故，Joe帮助了摔倒在地的女孩，至此之后，孩子们开始慢慢接受Joe的故事。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“我后来去了乔家。”可知，第一段可描写的是，作者想帮助Joe向其家人解释作者所看到的事实——是Joe的帮助了女孩能够回到家。把作者所看到的Joe的良好表现，解释给他的母亲听。
②由第二段首句内容“他的母亲把我送到门口时对我表示了感谢。”可知，第二段可描写的是在作者的解释之后，Joe的母亲异常感激，同时也为自己的儿子感到骄傲。同时描述的是在此之后的日子中，作者尽最大的努力帮助乔融入班级，让更多父母了解乔，直至最后Joe加入了俱乐部并且拥有了很多好朋友。
2.续写线索：上门解释——感谢和感动——帮助融入——全力帮助——成功融入

There’s no other time of year quite like fall. Cool mornings give way to afternoons warmed by the sun and the changes in temperature create beautiful colors before winter sets in. So, grab your camera for one of nature’s most impressive spectacles—the changing colors of the leaves during fall.
Acadia National Park, Maine

Mckenzie River Scenic Byway, Oregon
Plan your visit for peak season when the golds and reds are most bright, usually in mid-October. The Mckenzie River has some of the best fly-fishing sports in Oregon. For a great getaway that includes days spent on fly-fishing, whitewater rafting and hiking to waterfalls, make reservations at Eagle Rock Lodge for a romantic bed and breakfast.
Charlottesville, Virginia
Mid to late October is when you’ll usually see the most dazzling red, orange and yellow leaves, but the colors can linger into early November. When you’re not watching leaves, plan to visit Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello, the former home, gardens and grounds of the third president of the United States. In the evenings, enjoy live music at the Mill room.

Youth Art For Healing is a non-profit organization founded by Jan Papirmeister in 2012. As the Executive Director, she makes great efforts to work with schools, hospitals and other healthcare organizations to bring works of art created by the youth into healthcare environments. She wants to provide a sense of comfort, inspiration and healing for patients, their loved ones and healthcare professionals during very challenging times.
As a child, Papirmeister donated her artworks to a volunteer group caring for dying people and a camp for children with cancer. She felt pity for them so she hoped her works could bring a little help. When she grew up, she became a school nurse and showed students how to create drawings to decorate the walls of the health office. Then, as a hospital nurse, she made the time to sit with patients and create art with them. In her job as a nurse, she realized works of art could really help patients feel better.
Her organization Youth Art For Healing is based in Bethesda, MD. It provides opportunities for students to learn about the nature of healing art, the power of art to heal, how to follow guidelines for healing art, and the value of building and strengthening community connections and spirit. As students share their talent with those in need, they come to the realization that they can make a difference.
Papirmeister was awarded a Society for the Arts in Healthcare grant to bring artworks to patients, their families and hospital staff. She also received two SCORE Awards for her efforts to comfort patients and their families. This woman is a shining example of an artist and healer who uses the healing power of art to bring huge benefits to children, patients, their loved ones, healthcare providers, and the community at large.
4. Why did Jan Papirmeister most probably start the organization?
A. To offer people mental support through art. B. To encourage kids to develop artistic taste.
C. To make a fortune out of it. D. To help improve doctors’ medical skills.
5. What can we learn about Jan Papirmeister when she was little?

The fossil (化石)discovery in Victoria now shows that monk seals were widespread in Australasia in the past.
“Monk seals are one of the rarest and most endangered marine mammals (海洋哺乳动物)alive today, but this wasn’t always the case,” according to lead study author Dr. James Rule from Monash University. “Our paper shows that the very endangered monk seals once called Australia home about five million years ago(specifically in Victoria),” he said.
The discovery was made by studying two fossils again from Melbourne Museum’s collections the identity of which had been a mystery for 40 years. “When we studied them, they turned out to be the oldest evidence of monk seals,” Dr. Rule said. “These fossils, along with the extinct New Zealand species that was discovered last year, double the known diversity of the monk seals,” he said.
According to Dr. Rule, monk seals disappeared in Australasia three million years ago, and they only lived in the tropics (热带地区)and the Mediterranean after temperatures fell during the Ice Ages. This left monk seals on the edge of disappearance after being overhunted by humans, with about 2,000 members left.
The discovery of New Zealand species and Australian monk seals led the researchers to restudy the origin of the group. “Our research shows that monk seals began in Australia,” Dr. Rule said. “This is different from every theory previously put forward by scientists.”
Previous research has theorized climate change led to the disappearance of many ancient seals in the Southern Hemisphere. This would have included New Zealand’s and Australian monk seals. “This suggests the world’s last two species of monk seal are also at risk from climate change,” Dr. Rule said. If sea level continues to rise, the beaches monk seals rely on for resting and raising young ones may disappear.
8. What does the new discovery show about monk seals?
A. Their living habits. B. Their growth process.
C. Their early appearance. D. Their ways of getting food.
9. What do we know about the two fossils from Melbourne Museum?
A. Researcher found it hard to keep them in good condition.
B. Researchers manged to identify them after many years.
C. They were once thought to be fossils of birds.
D. They were first discovered last year.
10. What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 4 probably refer to?
A. Fighting water pollution. B. Suffering from a lack of food.
C. Having limited living places. D. Facing increasing natural enemies.
11. What does the author want to tell us in the last paragraph?
A. Climate change always threatens monk seals’ survival.
B. Scientists can now measure the rate of global warming.
C. Human activity in Australia should be strictly limited.
D. People need to help raise young monk seals.
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. C 11. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。僧海豹是现存的最稀少、最濒危的海洋哺乳生物之一。研究人员通过对两块古老化石的研究，发现僧海豹以前广泛存在于大西洋地区，但由于气候变化的影响，这些地区的僧海豹都消失灭绝，最后说明气候变化一直威胁着僧海豹的生存。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“The fossil (化石)discovery in Victoria now shows that monk seals were widespread in Australasia in the past.(现在在维多利亚发现的化石表明，僧海豹过去在大洋洲广泛存在。)”可知，新研究发现表明僧海豹以前在大洋洲广泛存在，说明了僧海豹早期就露过面了。故选C项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的“The discovery was made by studying two fossils again from Melbourne Museum’s collections, the identity of which had been a mystery for 40 years.(这一发现是在再次研究墨尔本博物馆收藏的两块化石后发现的，这两块化石的身份40年来一直是一个谜)”可知，这两块化石的身份40年来一直是个谜，说明它们的身份一直没解开，由此可知出研究人员们一直设法想解开这两块化石的身份，与B项互为同义表达。故选B项。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据文章第四段内容“According to Dr. Rule, monk seals disappeared in Australasia three million years ago, and they only lived in the tropics (热带地区)and the Mediterranean after temperatures fell during the Ice Ages. This left monk seals on the edge of disappearance after being overhunted by humans, with about 2,000 members left.(据鲁尔博士说，僧海豹在300万年前就在大洋洲消失了，它们只在冰河时期气温下降后才生活在热带和地中海地区。这使得僧海豹在被人类过度捕杀后处于消失的边缘，目前约有2000名僧海豹成员。)”可知，指示代词this指代前面的“they only lived in the tropics（热带地区）and the Mediterranean after temperatures fell during the Ice Ages.(只在冰河时期生活气温下降后才生活在热带和地中海地区)”即非常有限的生活空间。故选C项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段内容“Previous research has theorized climate change led to the disappearance of many ancient seals in the Southern Hemisphere. This would have included New Zealand’s and Australian monk seals. “This suggests the world’s last two species of monk seal are also at risk from climate change,” Dr. Rule said. If sea level continues to rise, the beaches monk seals rely on for resting and raising young ones may disappear.(此前的研究从理论上认为，气候变化导致了南半球许多古海豹的消失。其中包括新西兰和澳大利亚的僧海豹。“这表明，世界上最后两种僧海豹也面临着气候变化的风险，”鲁尔博士说。如果海平面继续上升，僧海豹赖以休息和养育幼崽的海滩可能会消失。)”可知，气候变化导致了许多古海豹的消失，其中就包括了新西兰和澳大利亚僧海豹，如果海平面继续上升的话，僧海豹赖以生存的海滩也会消失，进而威胁到僧海豹。这一整段内容都在讲气候变化给海豹带来的影响，由此可推知气候变化一直威胁着僧海豹的存在。故选A项。
D
Black taxis have been a common sight in London for decades. Now these taxis and their drivers have become the focus of a new exploration into Alzheimer’s (阿兹海默症). For those on the outside, it may seem that behind the wheel of these black taxis are just regular people who help move us to our destinations. But within their brains is a map of London’s streets that has put GPS technology to shame for decades.
“The Knowledge”, the test for London’s taxi drivers, stands among the hardest mental examinations one could ever undergo. It involves recalling information repeatedly from the memory of minute details about 56,0000 streets in London, from Trafalgar Square to the tiniest residential lanes.
Normally, the hippocampus (海马体) feels the effects of Alzheimer’s most. University College London and Alzheimer’s Research UK are studying these taxi drivers’ brains, as it has been found that the hippocampus controlling the brain’s short-term memory and spatial (空间的) memory systems is enlarged in their brains. Moreover, the taxi drivers’ hippocampi continue to enlarge as they go on doing the job for more years, suggesting that perhaps there’s something we can do to reproduce the effect in the general population.
Lead researcher Hugo Spiers was part of the team which 20 years ago found that, like birds and squirrels, the taxi drivers’ hippocampi gradually got bigger. Indeed, research has found for years that any animal that requires a detailed spatial knowledge of their territory experiences growth in the hippocampus.
Spiers’ team hopes to deal with Alzheimer’s by studying the taxi drivers’ brains. To collect more information on the mechanisms (机制) that cause the “brain gain”, Spiers has asked thirty of London’s taxi drivers connected to an MRI machine to drive around on their routes. The machine will allow the researchers to gather real time observations of the workings of the hippocampus. “It’s been a joy to help scientists fight with the disease,” said taxi driver Robert Lordan.
12. What can we say about “The Knowledge”?
A. It lasts for a few minutes only. B. It is usually held in London’s busy streets.
C. It is a great challenge to people’s memory. D. It invites some residents in London to be judges.
13. What has been found about the taxi drivers’ hippocampi?
A. They are more likely to be harmed. B. They grow in the taxi drivers’ careers.
C. They benefit from daily communication most. D. They are poor at controlling short-term memory.
14. Why does the author mention the research on animals?
A. To imply the new study benefits the animal kingdom as well.
B. To point out that more studies on animals’ brains are needed.
C. To show animals’ hippocampi are very different from humans’.
D. To prove the use of certain knowledge influences brain development.
15. Why do the researchers observe the taxi drivers with an MRI machine?
A. To figure out who has the largest hippocampus.
B. To know how Alzheimer’s develops in their brains.
C. To find out how their hippocampi perform at work.
D. To test whether the special machine is effective.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了在伦敦出租车和司机已经成为研究阿兹海默症的新焦点，在他们的大脑中隐藏着一张伦敦街道地图，几十年来，它让GPS技术相形见绌。这主要是他们大脑中的海马体会随着工作年限的延长而继续扩大。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“It involves recalling information repeatedly from the memory of minute details about 56,0000 streets in London, from Trafalgar Square to the tiniest residential lanes.(它涉及从伦敦56万条街道的细节记忆中反复回忆信息，从特拉法加广场到最小的住宅小巷)”可知，The Knowledge对人的记忆力是一个很大的挑战。故选C项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Moreover, the taxi drivers’ hippocampi continue to enlarge as they go on doing the job for more years, suggesting that perhaps there’s something we can do to reproduce the effect in the general population.(此外，出租车司机的海马体随着他们从事这项工作多年而不断扩大，这表明也许我们可以做些什么来在普通人群中重现这种影响)”可知，海马体在出租车司机的职业生涯中成长。故选B项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Indeed, research has found for years that any animal that requires a detailed spatial knowledge of their territory experiences growth in the hippocampus.(事实上，多年来的研究发现，任何需要详细领地空间知识的动物都会经历海马体的生长)”可知，作者提到动物（鸟类和松鼠）的研究是为了证明某些知识的长期使用会影响大脑的发育。故选D项。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“To collect more information on the mechanisms that cause the “brain gain”. Spiers has asked thirty of London’s taxi drivers connected to an MRI machine to drive around on their routes.(为了收集更多关于“大脑增益”机制的信息，斯皮尔斯已经要求30名连接到核磁共振成像仪的伦敦出租车司机在他们的路线上四处开车)”可知，斯皮尔斯使用核磁共振成像仪的目的是收集更多关于导致“大脑增益”的机制的信息，即弄清楚他们的海马体在工作中的表现。故选C项。
第二节（共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
The most relaxing colors are generally believed to be cool shades such as green and blue. ____16____ So we can often see these colors in hospitals, test centers, and television stations, where people may want some help to ease their nerves and bad emotions.
Home designers note that people often describe rooms painted blue and green as relaxing and comfortable. As a result, architects often use colors from the cool part of the color circle in bedrooms and bathrooms. ____17____
Driving down a highway. you’ll notice that some signs consist of white letters on a dark green background. ____18____ Another place where we see green used is in the “green room” of theaters or television studios because nervous performers are quieted by the color. This is also the reason why doctors wear green clothes in the operating room. And prison cells often paint their walls green for the same effect.
____19____ Our eyes sense color using tiny sensors sensitive to the red light, the green light or the blue light. However, generally they are the most sensitive to the green light. Researchers think that this sensitivity to green objects might affect hormonal production that in turn influences the mood. What’s more, recent studies have shown that when a person looks at the green colored paper or is placed in a green room, their heart rate drops, blood pressure lowers, and muscles relax. ____20____ So next time you’re feeling nervous or upset, please try to focus your eyes on something green instead of red.
A. There was research into colors in ancient times.
B. In contrast, hot colors cause these to rise.
C. Different colors can cause different psychological reactions.
D. Engineers determine such signs won’t get people’s eyes tired.

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章说明了最令人放松的颜色就是蓝色和绿色，因为这些颜色能让人放松、减压，因此很多人会把卧室和浴室漆成蓝色或绿色，甚至很多高速公路路标也会采用暗绿色的背景。
【16题详解】
上文“The most relaxing colors are generally believed to be cool shades such as green and blue.”提到了最令人放松的两种颜色：蓝色和绿色；而下文“So we can often see these colors in hospitals, test centers, and television stations, where people may want some help to ease their nerves and bad emotions.”则提到了经常在医院、测试中心和电视台看到这两种颜色，人们可能需要一些帮助来缓解紧张和不良情绪。由此可推知，设空处表明了这两种颜色具有某种功用，所以医院等地方才会经常用到。G项“It is agreed that the two can make us feel calm, balanced and less emotional.(人们一致认为，这两者可以让我们感到平静、平衡、不那么情绪化。)”中的“the two”与上文蓝色和绿色两种颜色对应，“make us feel calm, balanced and less emotional”则对应下文的“help to ease their nerves and bad emotions”。故选G项。
【17题详解】
上文“Home designers note that people often describe rooms painted blue and green as relaxing and comfortable. As a result, architects often use colors from the cool part of the color circle in bedrooms and bathrooms. As a result, architects often use colors from the cool part of the color circle in bedrooms and bathrooms.”提到了家居设计师注意到人们认为漆成蓝色和绿色的卧室很放松和舒适，因此，建筑师经常在卧室和浴室中使用比较冷淡的颜色。由此可知，这一段都是与家居设计相关的内容，故下文也应保持一致。E项“And painters often use blues and greens on walls and ceilings.(油漆工也经常在墙壁和天花板上使用蓝色和绿色。)”中的“walls and ceilings”恰好与上文中的“bedrooms and bathrooms”对应。故选E项。
【18题详解】
上文“Driving down a highway. you’ll notice that some signs consist of white letters on a dark green background.”提到了高速路上的一些标志的背景底色也是暗绿色的；下文“Another place where we see green used is in the “green room” of theaters or television studios because nervous performers are quieted by the color.”提到了另一个经常看到绿色的地方就是剧院或电视演播室的“绿房间”，因为紧张的演员看到绿色能安静下来。由此可推知，设空处应该与使用绿色的原因相关。D项“Engineers determine such signs won’t get people’s eyes tired.(工程师们认为这样的标志不会让人们的眼睛感到疲劳。)”中的“such signs won’t get people’s eyes tired”恰好与上文的“some signs consist of white letters on a dark green background”相对应。故选D项。
【19题详解】
设空处段首，故需要一个总括句。下文“Our eyes sense color using tiny sensors sensitive to the red light, the green light or the blue light. However, generally they are the most sensitive to the green light. Researchers think that this sensitivity to green objects might affect hormonal production that in turn influences the mood.”提到了，我们的眼睛通过对红光、绿光或蓝光敏感的微型传感器来感知颜色，但一般对绿光最敏感。研究人员认为，这种对绿色物体的敏感性可能会影响荷尔蒙的产生，进而影响情绪。F项“Scientists have found some evidence for the magic power of green.(科学家们已经发现了绿色魔力的一些证据。)”中的“Scientists”与下文的“Researchers”对应，且也是在重点强调绿色的作用，与下文对应。故选F项。
【20题详解】
上文“What’s more, recent studies have shown that when a person looks at the green colored paper or is placed in a green room, their heart rate drops, blood pressure lowers, and muscles relax.”提到了当一个人看着绿色的彩纸或被放在绿色的房间里时，他们的心率会下降，血压会降低，肌肉会放松。而下文“So next time you’re feeling nervous or upset, please try to focus your eyes on something green instead of red.”提到了感到紧张或不安时，试着把眼睛集中在绿色而不是红色的东西上。由此可推知，设空处提到了红色这一概念。B项“In contrast, hot colors cause these to rise.(相比之下，火热的颜色使这些上升。)”提到了“火热的颜色”，恰好对应下文的“red”，而these则指代前面的heart rate、blood pressure、muscles。故选B项。

【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了一位热爱艺术的外国人学习中国书法的经历。
【36题详解】
考查动词语态。句意：当我来到中国时，学习中国书法被列为必须做的事情之一。根据“when I came to China”可知，此处应用一般过去时。动词list意为“列举”，和主语构成被动关系。主语为动名词，谓语应用第三人称单数。故填was listed。
【37题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：现在，我正在学习这门独特的艺术，它的价值在中国甚至在今天的东亚都被认为非常高。此处是非限制性定语从句，先行词是art，在从句中作value的定语，应用关系代词whose引导。故填whose。
【38题详解】
考查冠词。句意：它不仅是人类语言的一种古老艺术形式，而且反映了中国的传统。名词form意为“形式”，为可数名词，此处为第一次出现，所以应用不定冠词表示泛指，ancient是以辅音音素开头的词，应用an。故填an。
【39题详解】
考查形容词。句意：作为一个绘画、作图和热爱一切创造性事物的人，一开始，我以为我会相当擅长中国书法。修饰名词things，应用形容词creative，表示“创造性的”作定语。故填creative。
【40题详解】
考查副词。句意：我完全错了。修饰形容词wrong，应用副词totally，表示“完全地”作状语。故填totally。
【41题详解】
考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意：对于初学者来说，使用粗笔尖来产生难处理的笔触是非常困难的。此处描述客观事实，所以应用一般现在时。动名词作主语，谓语应用第三人称单数。故填is。
【42题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：我不知道书法的不同类型以及每一种书法背后隐藏的含义。动词hide意为“隐藏”，和谓语之间没有连词，和逻辑主语meanings构成被动关系，且动作已完成，所以应用过去分词作后置定语。故填hidden。
【43题详解】
考查介词。句意：此外，我必须以一种非常特殊的方式握住画笔；与钢笔或铅笔不同，画笔笔直地握在手中。根据“I have to hold the paintbrush in a very specific way”可知，此处是指与钢笔或铅笔不同，所以应用介词unlike表示“不同于”。故填unlike。
【44题详解】
考查名词。句意：在改变画笔的角度或方向时，我需要格外小心，尤其是当我用力按压纸张时。此处应用名词direction表示“方向”作动词changing的宾语。故填direction。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：在上了这堂课之后，我现在明白了书法的难度，并且需要努力和投入才能掌握这种艺术形式。此处用it作形式主语，to do不定式为真正的主语。故填to master。

47. 阅读下面材料，根据所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
There’s a special boy in my son’s class. Everyone thinks he is a bad kid. I’ve heard that he talks loudly, disrupts（扰乱）the class with bursts of negative comments, and doesn’t participate in groups. He also stands out as the tallest. Other parents tell his mother they’re scared of him. Yet he has never been physically aggressive. Sometimes he even shows kindness to others in need of help.
I’ll call him Joe. Most parents and kids don’t know Joe has Asperger syndrome. People with the disease must learn about socially proper behavior. It’s very hard for Joe to control his social behavior. He has worked hard since second grade. However, he has few friends who support him with positive comments.
Joe is in the highest-level math and reading classes. He wanted to join an activity club in school, but parent volunteers refused him. They didn’t acknowledge that he had been working hard to fit into the school’s social networks. I wish those parents had seen Joe walking home from school one cold winter day in January and how he had offered his help warmly.
Driving by, I saw him run and kneel down by a little girl lying on the ground. Joe brushed the hair from her eyes and smiled. She smiled back through tears, having slipped and fallen on the ice. Joe took off his coat and spread it out, and then he helped her move to sit on it. He also gathered her belongings and put them on his coat. He wiped the snow from her knees and hands, moving her arms to check for injury. Then Joe helped her up, took her hand and walked her home. He carried her pack and then rang. her doorbell. When her sister rushed her inside, the little girl smiled back at Joe. Then he set her pack down by the door and walked home happily.
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。
I stopped by Joe’s house later.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version :
I stopped by Joe’s house later. I asked to talk to him and his mother looked worried. When I said I would praise him for his good behavior, she looked so surprised. I told Joe that I had seen him help a little girl on his way back home, and that I didn’t get out of my car because he had everything under control. I told him that he handled the emergency perfectly and that I thought he was a hero. Then I saw Joe’s beautiful smile again.
His mother expressed gratitude to me as she showed me to the door. She was moved to tears because it was so rare for Joe to show kindness and to be recognized in a positive way. As a mother, she always worries about her son’s future and the challenges he faces from society. After that, I tried my best to let more kids and parents know about Joe. We began to treat him with more patience. Later, Joe became a member of the activity club. And he has lots of friends now.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者儿子班级中的一个特殊孩子Joe。每个人都认为他是一个坏孩子。但他从未有过身体攻击。有时他甚至对需要帮助的人表现出善意。事实上，班级里的孩子们不知道他患有一种罕见的疾病，在这种疾病的影响下，Joe无法控制自己的行为。Joe积极努力地想要融入班级的同学中，可是其他的孩子不接受他。一次偶然的事故，Joe帮助了摔倒在地的女孩，至此之后，孩子们开始慢慢接受Joe的故事。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“我后来去了乔家。”可知，第一段可描写的是，作者想帮助Joe向其家人解释作者所看到的事实——是Joe的帮助了女孩能够回到家。把作者所看到的Joe的良好表现，解释给他的母亲听。
②由第二段首句内容“他的母亲把我送到门口时对我表示了感谢。”可知，第二段可描写的是在作者的解释之后，Joe的母亲异常感激，同时也为自己的儿子感到骄傲。同时描述的是在此之后的日子中，作者尽最大的努力帮助乔融入班级，让更多父母了解乔，直至最后Joe加入了俱乐部并且拥有了很多好朋友。
