一、阅读理解
In Singapore, it seems like art is at every turn. Look closely and you’ll discover masterpieces in front of an office building, a walkway, and even on a rooftop garden, where everyone can appreciate them up close. In order to further promote art, festivals are held throughout the year. Here are some of the biggest art draws to come.
ARTWALK                                                When: January
An annual public art festival, Artwalk takes place in the culturally rich neighborhoods of Little India and Katong-Joo Chiat.

Today, I’ve been recording an audiobook. I am excited that I have realized my life-long dream.
I will never forget at primary school I used to wait with breathless anticipation to take my turn reading out a paragraph of great works in front. At my secondary school, when students were encouraged to select and present a reading at “morning talk”, I often added my name to the list.
This was all handy background for my career in broadcasting. But, much as I enjoy hosting shows and interviewing people, I often find myself missing the simple pleasures of reading out loud. I’d thought about putting myself forward as a narrator (朗读者) for audiobooks. But I’m not an actor. I can’t do regional accents or play female voice. Non-fiction, then, seemed the obvious target, but I felt that such books were best read by their authors. If it were authors’ own voice, their stories would touch me.
Recently, delivering my son’s nightly bedtime story has reawakened my love for reading out loud—highlights so far have included Charlotte’s Web. But I never thought I’d get the opportunity to do it professionally.
Then, last month, I was contacted by James Plunkett, author of End State, a forthcoming book about political ideas. He had no desire to read his book out loud, but as a fan of my program, he thought I might do a reasonable job.
So, I’ve spent this week in a studio, simply reading stuff out loud. And I’m LOVING IT!
Mind you, it’s an entirely unexpected experience. It’s disheartening when the recording needs to be stopped because I’ve just carelessly skipped over a ’the’, or had to clear my throat, or catch my breath. I’ve also learned how many words I’ve been mispronouncing my entire life: behavioural is BE-HAYVE-YOU-RAL, not BE-HAYVE-EE-AH-RUL.
Though tackling this 339-page book doesn’t turn out to be that easy, I’ve found the whole process awesome, and hope this becomes the first of many.
4．What does the author want to show by mentioning his experiences at school?
A．The power of dreaming. B．His love for reading aloud.
C．The impact of schooling. D．His talent for reading.
5．What can we learn about the author from paragraph 3?
A．He regrets being a host. B．He can not read non-fiction well.
C．He lacks working experience. D．He is aware of his disadvantages.
6．Why did the author get the job as a narrator?
A．He was good at reading bedtime story. B．He applied for it in person.
C．He was appointed by the writer. D．He had crowds of fans.
7．What does the author think of being a narrator?
A．Demanding but enjoyable. B．Risky but fruitful. C．Tiring but stress-free. D．Boring but rewarding.

People who give, live longer, studies have shown. Now, a new study by University of Michigan researchers shows that why people volunteer — not whether they volunteer — is what really counts.
For the study, Konrath and colleagues analyzed data collected in 2008 and 2012 aiming at the same random samples of 3,376 people. Overall, they found that just 2.3 percent of those who once worked as volunteers had died, compared to 4.3 percent of non-volunteers. They further found that how much people volunteered mattered as well — only 1.8 percent of regular volunteers died, compared with 2.5 percent of occasional volunteers.
But what really made a difference were people’s motives for volunteering. The researchers asked people to rate how important they found various reasons for volunteering, and they found that the more important people rated reasons such as feeling pity for people in need, the more likely they were to be alive. Those who rated motives related to personal benefit as more important were more likely to have died, and just as likely to die as those who didn’t volunteer at all. These reasons included volunteering because they enjoyed the social contact, to escape their own problems, or to explore their own strengths.
Konrath says the current findings suggest it may be a poor idea to encourage people to volunteer because it’s good for them. “Volunteering is increasingly being encouraged in schools and organizations. Some groups say that it’s okay to want benefits for yourself, and encourage people to think of volunteering as an exchange for personal interests. Some groups emphasize the health benefits received through volunteering.” Konrath added, “Of course, it’s reasonable for volunteers to expect benefits for themselves. But the potential health benefits of volunteering are significantly reduced if self-benefit becomes a person’s main motive.”
8．What does the new study mainly find?
A．Whether we volunteer decides our well-being. B．Why we volunteer has an impact on our health.
C．How we volunteer makes sense to others. D．How often we volunteer makes a difference.
9．How did the researchers do the research?
A．By analyzing statistics. B．By reviewing previous studies.
C．By doing lab experiments. D．By observing random samples.
10．Which of the following motives will probably benefit the volunteers most?
A．Making more friends. B．Developing ability in practice.
C．Solving personal problems. D．Helping people in trouble.
11．What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A．Practical suggestions on further studies. B．Potential applications of the research method.
C．A further explanation of the current findings. D．A reasonable doubt about the research findings.

Swot satellite is scheduled to be launched Thursday morning to conduct a comprehensive survey of Earth’s vital resource. By using advanced microwave radar technology it will collect height-surface measurements of oceans, lakes and rivers in high-definition detail over 90% of the globe. It’s rally the first time to observe nearly all water on the planet’s surface.
The major mission is to explore how oceans absorb atmospheric heat and carbon dioxide in a natural process that adjusts climate change. Oceans are estimated to have absorbed more than 90%, of the extra heat trapped in the Earth’s atmosphere by human-caused greenhouse gases. Swot will scan, the seas and precisely measure fine differences in surface elevations (高度) around smaller currents and eddies (漩涡), where much of the oceans’ decrease of heat and carbon is believed to occur. “Studying the mechanism will help climate scientists answer a key question: What is the turning point at which oceans start releasing, rather than absorbing, huge amounts of heat back into the atmosphere and speed up global warming, rather than limiting it,” said NadyaShiffer, Swot’s program scientist.
By comparison, earlier studies of water bodies relied on data of rivers or oceans taken at specific, points, or from satellites that can only track measurements along a one-dimensional line, requiring scientists to fill in data gaps through extrapolation (外推法). Thanks to the radar instrument, Swot can scan through cloud cover and darkness over wide ranges of the Earth. This enables scientists to accurately map their observations in two dimensions regardless of weather or time of day and to cover large geographic areas far more quickly than was previously possible.
“Rather than giving us a line of elevations, it’s giving us a map of elevations, and that’s just a total game changer,” said Tamlin Pavelsky, Swot freshwater science leader.
12．What do the underlined words “vital resource” in the first paragraph refer to?
A．Technology. B．Climate. C．Oceans. D．Water.
13．What is the major mission of Swot satellite?
A．To explore where oceans absorb heat and CO2. B．To explain why greenhouse gas comes into being.
C．To identify when global warming is worsened. D．To study how oceans influence climate change.
14．What is an advantage Swot has over previous satellites?
A．It fills in data gaps automatically by extrapolation.
B．It contributes to mapping the observation accurately.
C．It covers specific rivers and oceans in one dimension.
D．It keeps track of the weather change at any time of day.
15．Which is the most suitable title for the text?
A．First Global Water Survey from Space B．Successful Launch of Swot Satellite
C．A Breakthrough in Space Travel. D．A Solution to Climate Change

I feared going into my room after school. Every day it was something different. The hours away at school were long enough to cause a terrible change to my private room. Today can be no different.
As I entered the house, Mom greeted me with a smile. It seemed like nothing was wrong. Still, I wouldn’t believe. Yesterday, I discovered a chocolate cookie spread around the mouth of my angel statue. Its pink lips were covered in chocolate. Obviously, Callie had shared her cookie with my angel.
I looked around for my little sister, Callie, who had just turned three. I didn’t see her. As I checked the sitting room, I noticed it was pretty messy. There were toys all around. There were a few headless dolls, some blocks, the remains of a grape stuck into the carpet. I searched around and there she was, sitting on the sofa with the TV remote in her sticky hands. She looked up and saw me. A huge smile broke out on her face, and she laughed, clapping her hands. I was surprised that they didn’t stick together.
“Sissy (sister)!” She jumped off the sofa and ran to me, hugging my knees and almost tipping me over. “Hi, Callie,” I said, with the slightest smile. I ruffled (抚弄) her long thick hair, and some white crumbs (残渣) fell to the carpet. “Cheese, sissy”, Callie said, pointing at the crumbs that had settled onto the carpet. I found a strong smell of cheese from them. Had Callie focused on destroying only the sitting room? A voice raced across my mind. No way. Not my sister, the destroyer. Not my sister, the three-year-old terror. I turned around and started the scared climb to my room.

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了被列入《世界遗产名录》的在我国福建省的土楼。
36．考查介词。句意：它们的大小和高度也各不相同。根据句意可知，此处说明土楼的大小和高度都不同，vary in为固定搭配，意为“在……方面不同”。故填in。
37．考查冠词。句意：土楼一般有3到5层，面积约5000平方米。根据句意可知，此处指土楼的面积有5000平方米，area是泛指，空处需要用不定冠词。area的发音以元音音素开头，不定冠词用an。故填an。
38．考查非谓语动词。句意：一个土楼可以容纳数百人，他们一起生活和工作，共享公共区域，以及公共设施，如井和楼梯。根据句意和句子结构可知，该句中can accommodate为谓语，且前后无连词，空处应该填非谓语，所给词share与被修饰词people构成主动关系，所以需要用现在分词形式作状语。故填sharing。
39．考查名词复数。句意：一个土楼可以容纳数百人，他们一起生活和工作，共享公共区域，以及公共设施，如井和楼梯。根据句意可知，形容词public“公共的”修饰可数名词facility“设施”，因为前面没有表示单数的数词或冠词，故使用复数形式表示泛指。故填facilities。
40．考查动词时态。句意：因此，一个土楼像一个村庄单元一样运作。根据句意可知，此处作谓语动词，句子陈述客观事实，应用一般现在时，且主语a Tulou为第三人称单数，故使用三单形式，故填functions。
41．考查形容词的最高级。句意：最早的土楼建于13世纪，当时客家人在战争期间迁往福建。根据句意可知，该处指“最早的土楼”，需用所给词early的最高级形式。故填earliest。
42．考查非谓语动词。句意：为了在这里永久定居，客家人根据当地的地理环境建造了土楼，既有居住的目的，也有防御的目的。根据句意和句子结构可知，句中built为谓语，空处因为非谓语作目的状语，需用动词不定式形式，句首单词首字母大写。故填To settle。
43．考查定语从句。句意：土楼有一米多厚的泥墙，特殊设计的入口，高高的窗户和秘密隧道，可以有效地防御敌人。根据句意和句子结构可知，该空引导限制性定语从句，修饰mud walls，为物，且空处为从句的主语，故填that/which。
44．考查连词。句意：如今，土楼已不再是防御性建筑，但仍然体现了和谐共处的理念。根据句意可知，空处表示转折，连词but和yet都有表示转折的含义。故填but或yet。
45．考查形容词。句意：当你有机会时，为什么不去福建土楼看看这些令人印象深刻的土楼呢？根据句意及句子结构可知，空处为形容词修饰earthen buildings，表示“印象深刻的”为形容词impressive。故填impressive。
46． A Good Hand at Housework
To raise the awareness of students’ tidiness and family responsibility, an activity named “A Good Hand at Housework” was held. In response to the activity sponsored by our school, I carried out my housework plan last weekend, ranging from tidying up rooms to cooking meals.
Early in the morning, I removed unwanted items and cleaned the house until it was spotless. At almost eleven, I prepared a lunch, fried rice, for which my parents praised me. Tired as I was, I felt so proud.
Through the involvement in the household chores, not only have I established a sense of family responsibility, but also I have fully understood that doing housework is of great meaning.

47．I pushed the door open and saw a complete mess again! My bed and desk were fully covered by white crumbs, and the walls were full of grape juice graffiti. What’s worse, I discovered cheese spread around the mouth of my angel statue whose pink lips were covered in cheese. I was completely shocked. Filled with anger, I was unable to utter a single word. So angry was I that I shook my fist at her. The moment she saw my reaction, she froze with fright, as if rooted on the ground. All of a sudden, she bursted into tears.
Seeing the tears in her eyes, I bent down and lifted her up gently. “It’s OK. Callie, no matter what you do, I will love you forever. You are such a good girl, for it is you creative imaginations that give me surprises everyday. Thank you!” I kissed her on her face, ruffling her long thick hair. On hearing that, her eyes widened with excitement and her mouth opened. “Sissy (sister)! I love you too.” She said heartily, and the smile on her face shone like a diamond.
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了我每天都害怕放学后走进我的房间。因为我三岁的妹妹每天在我离开学校的几个小时的时间足以使我的私人房间发生可怕的变化。今天也不例外。当我走进房子时，妈妈微笑着向我打招呼。似乎没有什么问题。不过，我还是不相信。我环顾四周，寻找我的小妹妹Callie，我没看到她，却看到了凌乱的客厅，我四处找了一下，她就坐在沙发上，黏糊糊的手里拿着电视遥控器。她从沙发上跳下来，跑向我，抱着我的膝盖，几乎把我掀翻了。“嗨，Callie，”我说，微微一笑。我弄乱了她长长的厚厚的头发，一些白面包屑落在了地毯上。“奶酪，姐姐。”Callie指着已经落在地毯上的白色碎屑说。我发现它们身上有一股强烈的奶酪的味道。Callie不可能只专注于摧毁客厅，那绝不是我的妹妹，那个破坏者。我转过身来，开始惊恐地爬进我的房间。不出所料，又是一团糟，我怒了，而妹妹因为我的生气吓坏了，我不忍心决定开始安慰她，姐妹和好如初。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“我推开门，又看到一片狼藉!”可知第一段可描写我进房间后发现的糟乱状况以及我生气的表现和妹妹的反应。
