Copenhagen has GREAT public transport. It is reliable, safe, and easily accessible. Of course,
like everything in Copenhagen, it is not cheap. The system can be a little confusing, even for locals, but we’re here to help simplify it all for you! And today our focus is “Traveling With a Bike”.
BIKES ON THE TRAIN
Bicycles can be taken on S-tog lines for free but you can’t take bikes through Nørreport Station during peak hours. To take your bike on a train, you need to put it on the first or last carriage, clearly marked with large signs of bicycles on the outside.
To take a bike on a regional train, which takes you to parts of Denmark outside Copenhagen,
you must buy an extra ticket. The price depends on the distance and varies from 16 kr to 28 kr.
BIKES ON THE METRO
Bicycles can be taken on the metro for an extra 13 kr. You need to pay for the bike with its own ticket. You can’t take your bike on the metro during peak hours.
BIKES ON THE BUS
You can bring a bike on a bus but each bus is limited to two bikes, even if there is much space. Generally, people do not travel with their bikes on buses in Copenhagen.
BIKES ON THE FERRY
Charges for bicycles depend on the company and the destination. You will need to check with
the ferry companies. When you book the ticket, you must state that you have a cycle, even if it may be free of charge.
21. Who is this text probably intended for?
A. Ticket inspectors B. Local citizens.
C. Bike travelers. D. Tourist guides.
22. On which public transport can you take a bike for free?
A. A weekend ferry. B. A peak-time S-tog train.
C. An off-peak metro train. D. A weekday regional train.
23. What is the disadvantage of bringing a bike on a bus?
2
A. Buses are too crowded. B. It’s against the local custom.
C. It’s not welcomed by other passengers. D. Availability is not guaranteed.
B
I was 68 when I first stepped on stage as a stand-up comedian in 2003. I’d never set foot in a
comedy club before. I’ve always been a performer — I’ve worked as a singer, actor and musician
- but all that came to an end after 9/11. I live in New York, and we watched the twin towers fall from my apartment building. For a year afterwards, nobody wanted to go out or be entertained.
It was then that I started to think about comedy. I realized people needed to laugh, to enjoy
themselves again, and thought that with a little training I could do it. I took a few classes, tried to work out a routine, and finally plucked up the courage to get up on stage. That first time was terrifying. I had no idea what the audience would make of me.
In New York, comedians are typically young men with beards. It’s hard enough to break
through as a woman, even harder as someone old enough to be their grandmother. As I stepped on stage that first time, people laughed nervously. They were clearly surprised to see me. I introduced myself, stated my age and tried my first joke. There was silence. But by the time I got to the third line, people were properly laughing, I was addicted.
Now my sets differ. I might be on stage for 10 minutes in front of a dozen people, or my
one-woman show is a full hour in front of a crowd of 100. Even today, I’m nervous before I step out. My first line is, “Hello, everybody. I’m 88 and three-quarters years old. I’m telling you that in case I don’t make it all the way through the show.” Then people laugh and I relax.
After a show, people young and old come up to me, saying what an inspiration I am. They say
they want to be as active as me when they reach my age. I’m pleased I can show that as an older person you don’t need to take a back seat in life.
I’ve no intention of stopping comedy. I’m taking all these pills, trying to stay alive, and I hope
to still be performing when I’m 100. My goal is to still be up there making people laugh. It’s hard work, but it stops me being bored. I’d only be playing golf otherwise.
24. Why did the writer take up comedy?
A. She wanted to overcome her fears.
B. She wanted to brighten others’ lives.
C. She was unwilling to quit performing.
D. She wanted to work out a routine.
25. Why does the writer mention young men with beards in paragraph 3?
A. To show the challenge she was facing. B. To explain her attraction to the job.
C. To illustrate her special advantage. D. To describe her new friends in comedy.
26. How has the writer made progress since her first performance?
A. She no longer feels nervous before performances.
B. She now performs before larger audiences.
C. She remains on the stage for a longer time.
D. She has learned to make a joke of her age.
27. Which of the following statements would the writer agree with?
A. Age is just a number. B. Advancing years bring greater wisdom.
C. Old age means a chance to sit back. D. Old age means you have to slow down.
C
Satellites are already in use for so many purposes today — from weather forecasting to
communications, GPS, and more.
Since the late 1970s, satellites such as the European Space Agency’s (ESA) CryoSat-2 and the US Space Agency’s ICESat-2, have also been used to monitor changes in the Arctic sea ice.
Data suggests that sea ice is thinning over time due to climate change. Over the last 40 years,
the extent of Arctic ice cover has been declining at a rate of 13% per decade. However, existing
3
ways of measurement do not provide a clear and continuous picture of the state of sea ice.
These satellites use special radar or laser-based altimeter instruments (雷达或激光测高仪). Sea
ice thickness is then calculated as the difference between the height of the ice and the top of the water (ice level—sea level). This method works well during the winter months.
Unfortunately, satellite-based sea ice thickness measurements are inaccurate during the summer months: the time of the year with the greatest melting. This melting creates a pool of liquid water on the surface. As a result, the simple calculation (ice level—sea level) does not work as radar systems
are unable to differentiate between ocean water and ice, thus making measurements inaccurate.
Last September, scientists developed a new method to tackle this age-old issue. The new method combined computer modeling and satellite data to predict ice thickness — all year round. The research team led by Jack Landy, a scientist at the University of Tromsø (The Arctic
University of Norway), used the new method to distinguish between seawater and ice.
The researchers built a model of the radar system’s predicted data and cross-referenced these values to those collected by a satellite. This model allows the researchers to obtain accurate, year-round Arctic sea ice thickness data.
According to Dr. Michel Tsamados from University College London, the new advanced
climate model “will improve both the short-term forecasts for the weather at the mid-latitudes (中纬
度地区) and the long-term forecasts that show what climate we will have in the future.”
28. What does the satellite data tell us?
A. The Arctic ice will no longer exist in four decades.
B. Sea ice cover is melting at a rate of 13% per year.
C. The ESA’s satellites provide clearer pictures.
D. Sea ice is becoming increasingly thinner.
29. What makes the ice level to sea level measurements inaccurate?
A. Inaction of the laser-based altimeter instruments in summer.
B. Radar systems’ inability to distinguish seawater from ice.
C. There being technical difficulty calculating the height of the ice.
D. There being no way to consistently detect melt pools on ice.
30. What does the new method aim to do?
A. Provide accurate forecasts for the weather.
B. Replace satellites in monitoring sea ice changes.
C. Get a reliable summertime record of sea ice thickness.
D. Test the efficiency of machine learning in climate change.
31. What does Dr. Michel Tsamados think of the new model?
A. It will be useful in different ways.
B. It will prove environmentally friendly.
C. It has a short-term impact on climate research.
D. It needs improvement to predict the Arctic’s future.
D
First impressions can set a lasting tone, but there is often something doubtful. Psychologists have documented a phenomenon known as the liking gap, whereby two people meeting for the first time routinely underestimate how much their counterparts (对应方) like them. A new study finds
that the liking gap occurs in group settings too and affects how well groups function.
In one experiment, the researchers divided 159 participants into groups of three and asked them
to have a conversation. They then surveyed the participants individually about how much they liked each of their partners, how much they thought each partner liked them, and how much they thought their partners liked each other. On average, people liked their partners more than they believed their partners liked them, and thought themselves to be the least liked in the group.
In a subsequent experiment, the researchers asked similar questions of engineering students
who had worked together in design competitions for varying lengths of time. Here, too, people
4
tended to underestimate the degree to which they were liked, regardless of how long they had known their teammates — and their dim views of their own likability reduced their willingness to ask others for help, give honest feedback, and work together in the future.
A final experiment involving a broad sample of workers showed that the misperceptions (误解)
were strongest among teammates and that they decreased team effectiveness and job satisfaction. It also found a possible explanation for the liking gap: People tend to focus on positive thoughts when reflecting on how much they like someone else “(I’m happy that she got a promotion”) but fall victim to more negative ones when considering how others view them “( I got a promotion, so she might be green with envy”).
Managers should think carefully not just about how teammates regard one another but about
how team members think they themselves are regarded, the researchers say; correcting misperceptions could boost team satisfaction and performance. “If only people knew how positively their teammates actually felt about them, they might communicate better, feel more included on their teams, and be happier overall with their jobs,” they write.
32. What does the liking gap refer to?
A. A type of social anxiety disorder. B. Love among different age groups.
C. Misjudging others’ opinions of us. D. Holding back others’ evaluations.
33. What did the experiment in paragraph 2 reveal?
A. People did not like to give honest comments.
B. People tended to think little of their partners.
C. People were quite demanding towards others.
D. People were not very confident about themselves.
34. What does the underlined word “dim” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Conflicting. B. Negative. C. Conventional. D. Strong.
35. What do the researchers suggest managers stress?
A. Employees’ viewpoints on themselves.
B. The relationship between team members.
C. Employee promotion and job satisfaction.
D. Communication between leaders and employees.

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Do you experience pleasure from listening to sad music? Sadness, generally seen as a negative
emotion, tends to be found pleasurable in an aesthetic (美学的) context. 36
While people are enjoying sad music, empathy plays a significant role. Empathy can be broadly defined as the process by which we can come to understand and feel what another person is
experiencing. 37 Similarly, listening to sad music may call up an empathetic reaction in
those with a strong tendency to feel that emotion.
38 Sad music enables the listeners to release themselves from distressing experiences
(breakups, death, etc. ) and focus instead on the beauty of music. Furthermore, lyrics that relate to the listeners’ personal experiences can give voice to feelings that one might not be able to express oneself.
As we all know, music has the ability to provide company and comfort. People tend to listen to
sad music when they are in emotional distress or feeling lonely. 39 He/ She can provide
support and empathy. The listener enjoys the mere presence of a virtual person, represented by the music, who is in the same mood and can help cope with sad feelings.
40 The emotional power of music is one of the main motivation of people who love it
so much.
A. Evidence suggests that people enjoy sad music.
B. Sad music is a virtual presence to relieve sadness.
C. Sad music can be experienced like an imaginary friend.
D. 5
Sad songs can bring back unforgettable memories of a past event.
E. In short, music has the proven ability to affect mood and attention.
F. Sad music also produces psychological benefits via mood regulation.
G. Expressions of sadness and grief are likely to inspire support and help in others.

第二节 （满分 25 分）
阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。I met the Man of the Trees in summer ten years ago, when I was visiting Uncle Jita.
Those were difficult times. People were cutting down our forest, and there was often flooding.
Sometimes our water supply was dirty. When our pump (水泵) did have clean water, we had to wait
in line for ages. When the pump wasn’t working, we had to walk five kilometers to the closest stream.
But I was happy. I was going to see my favorite uncle. When the day finally arrived, Dad drove
me to Uncle Jita’s house and left. Once he saw me, Uncle Jita announced, “Tomorrow we’re going to explore a magical place. Here is my camera, Amy.You can take photos of what you see.
The following day, we woke up and left early on a boat. The trip was exciting. But when we
got off, there was nothing in front of us. “I don’t o take pictures of this,” I complained.
Uncle Jita laughed, “Start walking, Amy. I promise you’ll be surprised.” After some time, I could see the outline of a forest in the distance. A little closer, there was a man waving to us.
“That’s Kabir. The forest you see is his. He planted every single tree.” As we walked toward
Kabir, Uncle Jita explained that thirty years ago, the whole area was a wasteland. But one day Kabir decided to change all that and started planting trees. Thanks to him, part of the wasteland was now a paradise (乐园).
Unele Jita introduced me to Kabir, who had gray hair and a determined face. “Jita told me you
like animals. Are you ready to see some?” he asked. “Of course!” I replied. We continued walking and soon were under the trees. I turned my head and was amazed at the difference between the two places, all because of the efforts of one man.
Like Uncle Jiat said, Kabir’s forest was magical. We saw deer, cattle, and even bears During
lunchtime, Kabir explained how, by planting trees, it was possible to stop the land from eroding (侵
蚀)。
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。
Hearing this, I turned to my uncle, “I think we can plant trees
too.”__________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________
