Zurich Region is top for leisure and pleasure. Gentle hills, peaceful woods, the unpolluted lakes and rivers, picturesque villages—and all just a stone's throw from the Alps. Zurich Region is the ideal starting point for all kinds of short trips.
Zurich
With opera, ballet, shows, musicals, art exhibitions in over 50 museums and 100 galleries, time never drags in Zurich. The famous Bahnhofstrasse and the Limmatquai are always a shopper's paradise.

Equally, however, the Alpamare water park and Atzmännig slide & trampoline paradise are just as much part of this family-friendly destination. Summer or winter, the Lake Zurich region offers many opportunities for sport.

Even the residents of Zug never get tired of the sunsets: when the sun goes down over the lake, the horizon goes blood-red, and all eyes turn to the romantic show of colour on the water. Equally charming is the historic centre of the town, best experienced by leisurely walking its narrow and winding alleys(小巷), wandering on the pretty lakeside and sitting at one of the many street cafés to watch the world go by.

One of the important subjects in contemporary poetry is identity—with an open-ended explanation of that word. Poets, young and old, are exploring what identity is, using their own lives as the background.
British poet Phoebe Power, in her first collection of poems, Shrines of Upper Austria, explores a different aspect of identity: a personal understanding of national identity. The collection received the Forward Prize for Best First Collection and was on the final list for the T.S. Eliot Prize.
Power was born in Newcastle-on-Tyne and raised in Cumbria. She has taken part in a number of performance art and video art projects. She received a Northern Writers’ Award in 2014 and an Eric Gregory Award from the Society of Authors in 2012. Now she lives in York in northern England.
Power’s starting point is her grandmother. She came to England from Austria as a new bride married to a British soldier in 1946, the first year after the end of World WarⅡ. Imagine the reactions of her British neighbors and her new British family. Imagine what she had left behind. The grandmother’s experiences influenced Power greatly.
In Shrines of Upper Austria, we walk with the poet to see her grandmother’s life before Britain. We can learn about the small town where she lived, the bodies of water, and buildings that existed when her grandmother lived there. Power also added some prose(散文) to the book, which tells us some stories of her grandmother’s early life. For example, it tells the stories about how her grandmother was found as a baby and given to a farmer when she was two.
The poems in the collection are pieces of a life. We can no more walk in our grandparents’ shoes than they can walk in ours. However, we can study old family photographs. We can see pieces of their lives—where they lived, perhaps; where they played as children; what lakes or rivers they swam in. Like Power, we are left with pieces. These pieces don’t all make sense, but collectively they show a life.
41. What’s the function of Paragraph 1?
A. To explain what identity is.
B. To inform us the likes of poetry.
C. To make a summary of the text.
D. To introduce what will be discussed next.
42. What do we know about Power’s collection of poems?
A. It reflects her own life.
B. It explores national identity.
C. It is similar to other collective poems.
D. It fails to be recognized by the public.
43. What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A. Power’s birthplace. B. Power’s talents.
C. Power’s basic background. D. Power’s achievements.
44. What can we find in Shrines of Upper Austria?
A. The early life of Power.
B. The life and culture in Austria.
C. The marriage of Power’s grandmother.
D. The life of Power’s grandmother in Britain.
45. What’s the purpose of the last Paragraph?

这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了英国诗人Phoebe Power以及她的诗。同时文章告诉我们“从诗歌中了解过去的重要性。”
【41题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段One of the important subjects in contemporary poetry is identity—with an open-ended explanation of that word. Poets, young and old, are exploring what identity is, using their own lives as the background.“身份是当代诗歌的重要主题之一，对身份的解释是开放的。诗人，年轻的和年老的，都在探索身份是什么，以他们自己的生活为背景。”由此判断出，第一段的作用是来介绍接下来要讨论的内容。故选D。
【42题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段第一句British poet Phoebe Power, in her first collection of poems, Shrines of Upper Austria, explores a different aspect of identity: a personal understanding of national identity.“英国诗人菲比·鲍尔(Phoebe Power)在她的第一本诗集《上奥地利的圣地》(Shrines of Upper Austria)中，探讨了身份的另一个方面:对国家身份的个人理解。”由此可知，鲍尔的诗集它探索了国家身份。故选B。
【43题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段Power was born in Newcastle-on-Tyne and raised in Cumbria. She has taken part in a number of performance art and video art projects. She received a Northern Writers’ Award in 2014 and an Eric Gregory Award from the Society of Authors in 2012. Now she lives in York in northern England.“鲍尔出生于泰恩河畔的纽卡斯尔，在坎布里亚郡长大。她参与了多个行为艺术和视频艺术项目。她在2014年获得了北方作家奖，在2012年获得了作家协会颁发的埃里克·格雷戈里奖。现在她住在英格兰北部的约克郡。”由此可知，第三段讲了Power的基本背景。故选C。
【44题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中In Shrines of Upper Austria, we walk with the poet to see her grandmother’s life before Britain. We can learn about the small town where she lived, the bodies of water, and buildings that existed when her grandmother lived there.“在Shrines of Upper Austria，我们和诗人一起漫步，去看她祖母在英国之前的生活。我们可以了解到她住过的小镇，那里的水体和她祖母住过的那些建筑。”由此判断出，在Shrines of Upper Austria我们发现了奥地利的生活和文化。故选B。
【45题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中The poems in the collection are pieces of a life. We can no more walk in our grandparents’ shoes than they can walk in ours. However, we can study old family photographs. We can see pieces of their lives—where they lived, perhaps; where they played as children; what lakes or rivers they swam in.“诗集里的诗都是生活的片段。我们不能站在祖父母的立场上，就像他们不能站在我们的立场上一样。然而，我们可以研究老的家庭照片。我们可以看到他们生活的片段——也许是他们生活的地方;他们像孩子一样在那里玩耍;他们游泳的湖泊或河流。”由此判断出，最后一段说明从诗歌中了解过去的重要性。故选D。
C
Scientists say they have developed a system that uses machine learning to predict when and where lightning will strike. The research was led by engineers from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne, Switzerland.
Lightning is a strong burst of electricity in the atmosphere. It can strike between clouds or between a cloud and the ground. Since lightning carries an extremely powerful electrical charge, it can be destructive and deadly. It is difficult to know exactly how many people die of lightning-related causes. European researchers have estimated that between 6,000 and 24,000 people are killed by lightning worldwide each year. The strikes can also cause power failure, destroy property, damage electrical equipment and start forest fires.
For this reason, climate scientists have long sought to develop methods to predict and control lightning. The system tested in the experiments uses a combination of data from weather stations and machine learning methods. The researchers developed a prediction model that was trained to recognize weather conditions that were likely to cause lightning. The model was created with data collected over a 12-year period from 12 Swiss weather stations in cities and mountain areas. The data related to four main surface conditions: air pressure, air temperature, relative humidity (湿度) and wind speed. The atmospheric data was placed into a machine learning algorithm (计算程序), which compared it to records of lightning strikes. Researchers say the algorithm was then able to learn the conditions under which lightning happens.
“Once trained, the system made predictions that proved correct almost 80 percent of the time,” the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology said in a statement. “It can now be used anywhere.”
Amirhossein Mostajabi, a PhD student at the institute, said current systems for gathering such data are slow and complex and require costly collection equipment like radar or satellites. “Our method uses data that can be obtained from any weather station,” he said. “This will improve data collection in very remote areas not covered by radar and satellite or in places where communication systems have been cut,” he added.
The researchers plan to keep developing the technology in partnership with a European effort that aims to create a lightning protection system. Scientists working on the Paris-based project are experimenting with a laser technology that could someday control lightning activity. The idea is that powerful, ground-based lasers can be positioned in the sky to direct energy from lightning.
46. What does Paragraph 2 mainly focus on?
A. The cause of lightning. B. The forming process of lighnting.
C. The destruction of lightning. D. The difficulty to count the deaths.
47. Which is the correct order of how the system works?
① develop a prediction model.
② learn to recognize weather conditions.
③ collect related data.
④ input the data onto the computer.
⑤ make predictions.
A. ①→②→③→④→⑤ B. ③→④→①→②→⑤
C. ①→②→④→③→⑤ D. ③→①→②→⑤→④
48. What’s the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology’s attitude toward the system?
A. Satisfied. B. Doubtful.
C. Negative. D. Neutral.
49. The advantage of the new system for collecting data lies in its .
A. accuracy B. efficiency
C. wide coverage D. reliability
50. What does the Paris-based project aim to do?

It’s common that a Japanese-American bows on the phone—but only in Japanese. Behaviors and manners can become so routine that they appear even when there’s no need for them. Those who are bilingual(双语的) and bicultural know first-hand that how we behave can depend on what language we are speaking. Scientists have shown that who you are in the moment can depend on the language you are using at that time.
This is because when you have an experience, the language you are using becomes associated with it. For bilingual people, this means certain memories are more closely associated with one language than the other—a phenomenon called “language-dependent memory”. For example, a childhood memory is more likely to be remembered when the language spoken during that childhood event is spoken again.
How we think and feel can thus change depending on what language we are using. For example, people who are bilingual have an intensified stress response when listening to the words of scolding in a native language. This may be, in part, because our early memories associated with learning a “bad” word or being scolded by our parents happened in our native language.
Because emotions play a key role in how we make decisions, people are often more sensible when making choices in the less emotional foreign language. Language can even influence our decisions. When asked whether they would be willing to give one person’s life to save a group, people who speak more than one language are much more likely to say “yes” when answering in a foreign language. The unpleasant feelings that can prevent us from making difficult choices are reduced when we’re using a non-native language.
The language we speak has an influence on how we think, feel, and even behave. In a way, knowing different languages can provide people with a variety of views through which to see the world.
51. Why is the example of the Japanese-American mentioned in Paragraph 1?
A. To show Japanese people are polite.
B. To show bowing is good manners.
C. To show culture affects a person greatly.
D. To show language affects a person’s behavior.
52. Why is a “language-dependent memory” so called ?
A. Memories are greatly influenced by a certain language.
B. A childhood memory can be recalled in a certain language.
C. A good memory can help you learn a language well.
D. A language can determine a person’s memory.
53. What does the underlined word “intensified” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Obvious. B. Abnormal.
C. Increased. D. Limited.
54. When can a person who is bilingual make a sensible decision?
A. When speaking a native language.
B. When speaking a foreign language.
C. When making a random choice.
D. When feeling very delighted.
55. What is the best title for the text?
A. Language determines your character
B. You are what you are speaking
C. A new language, a new self
D. More languages, better future
【答案】51. D 52. A 53. C 54. B 55. B
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。科学家已经证明，你当时的身份取决于你当时使用的语言。我们所说的语言会影响我们的思维、感觉甚至行为。在某种程度上，了解不同的语言可以为人们提供不同的视角，通过这些视角可以看到不同的世界。
【51题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中It’s common that a Japanese-American bows on the phone—but only in Japanese. Behaviors and manners can become so routine that they appear even when there’s no need for them. “一个日裔美国人在打电话时会鞠躬，这是很常见的，但只在日本人中出现这种情况。行为和礼貌会变成例行公事，甚至在不需要的时候也会出现。”和Scientists have shown that who you are in the moment can depend on the language you are using at that time.“科学家已经证明，你当时的身份取决于你当时使用的语言。”由此可知，第一段之所以提到日裔美国人的例子，是为了显示语言影响一个人的行为。故选D。
【52题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中This is because when you have an experience, the language you are using becomes associated with it. For bilingual people, this means certain memories are more closely associated with one language than the other—a phenomenon called “language-dependent memory”. For example, a childhood memory is more likely to be remembered when the language spoken during that childhood event is spoken again.“这是因为当你有一种经历时，你使用的语言就会和它联系起来。对双语者来说，这意味着某些记忆与一种语言的联系比另一种更紧密，这种现象被称为“语言依赖性记忆”。例如，童年记忆更有可能被记住，当在童年时期说过的语言再次被提起时。”由此可知，之所以叫“语言依赖性记忆”，是因为记忆受某种语言的影响很大。故选A。
【53题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第三段中when listening to the words of scolding in a native language. This may be, in part, because our early memories associated with learning a “bad” word or being scolded by our parents happened in our native language.“当听到用母语责骂的时候。在某种程度上，这可能是因为我们早期的记忆与学习“坏”单词或被父母责骂有关，这些记忆都是用母语进行的。”可知，说两种语言的人在听到用母语责骂的时候会有更强烈的压力反应。由此推知，划线词的意思是“增加”。故选C。
【54题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中Because emotions play a key role in how we make decisions, people are often more sensible when making choices in the less emotional foreign language.“因为情绪在我们如何做决定中起着关键作用，人们在使用不那么情绪化的外语时通常会更理智。”由此可知，说外语的时候双语的人能做出明智的决定。故选B。
【55题详解】
标题判断题。根据第一段最后一句Scientists have shown that who you are in the moment can depend on the language you are using at that time.“科学家已经证明，你当时的身份取决于你当时使用的语言。”和最后一段The language we speak has an influence on how we think, feel, and even behave. .“我们所说的语言会影响我们的思维、感觉甚至行为。在某种程度上，懂得不同的语言可以给人们提供各种各样的观点，通过这些观点来看世界。”由此可知，短文的最佳标题为“你所说的决定了你的身份”。故选B。

Hunter Shamatt lost his wallet while he was on a Frontier Airlines flight from Omaha. Upon realizing that his wallet was lost, he contacted the airline to see if anyone had turned it in, but to no avail. Since the wallet contained his ID, a signed paycheck, his debit card, and $60 in cash, he “feared the worst”.
Shortly after the flight, however, Hunter was surprised to receive a package in the mail from an anonymous(匿名的) sender. Inside was his wallet— along with an additional $40 in cash. “I rounded your cash up to an even $100 so you could celebrate getting your wallet back. Have fun!!!”, read a letter that was enclosed with the package.
Hunter’s mother, Jeannie, posted a photo of the letter to social media in hopes that they would be able to track down the sender and thank him for his kindness. All they could know was that the sender’s initials were signed: “T.B”.
The good sender was later identified as Todd Brown, a father-of-five who was delighted at the chance to “have a little fun” with helping out a hard-working stranger.
“I saw he was just a kid, 20 years old, he had a paycheck in there, so I figured, ‘Well, he’s doing his best to make ends meet.’” Brown told Yahoo Lifestyle.
“Hunter was very thankful. He told me he has some student loans and a car payment that he needed to make so the timing was right,” Brown added. “They assumed it was gone forever. So when he opened it, he just started screaming, ‘No way! No way!’”
Brown says that he often tries to do good deeds without any recognition and that’s why he neglected to sign his full name on the letter, but Jeannie later insisted on praising the sender on social media.
“This story is more about restoring faith in people than anything. I personally want to thank Todd Brown for restoring faith that there are amazing people out there and that the world is not as cruel as it’s being made out to be.” she wrote on Facebook.
56. Where did Hunter lose his wallet?（no more than 10 words）
57. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 probably mean?（no more than 5 words）
58. What did Todd Brown do after finding the wallet?（no more than 15 words）
59. Why didn’t Todd Brown sign his full name when returning the wallet?（no more than 15 words）
60. How do you understand “faith” among people? Please explain.（no more than 20 words）
【答案】56. On a Frontier Airlines flight from Omaha.
57. But with little success./ But with no success./But in vain./ But fruitlessly.
58. He not only returned it to the owner, but added some extra cash in it./
He decided to return it with additional $40.
59. Because he wanted to do good deeds without any recognition./
Because he didn’t want to be recognized.
60. Faith is just as important as the air we breathe in. Without it, the world we live in won’t be beautiful./ Faith helps to create a special bond between people , which makes the world more beautiful.
【解析】
这是一篇记叙文。文章通过Brown捡钱包这个事情，让人们相信世界上还有很棒的人，世界并不像人们想象的那么残酷。信仰有助于在人们之间建立一种特殊的纽带，使世界更加美丽。
【56题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段第一句Hunter Shamatt lost his wallet while he was on a Frontier Airlines flight from Omaha.“亨特·沙马特在从奥马哈飞往边疆航空公司的航班上丢失了钱包。”由此可知，亨特在从奥马哈起飞的边疆航空公司丢了他的钱包。故答案为On a Frontier Airlines flight from Omaha.
【57题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第一段中Upon realizing that his wallet was lost, he contacted the airline to see if anyone had turned it in,“在意识到钱包丢了之后，他联系了航空公司，看看是否有人归还了钱包，”再根据下文的but“但是”，可知，没有找到钱包。由此推知，划线部分的意思是“徒劳，没有成功”。故答案为But with little success./ But with no success./But in vain./ But fruitlessly.
【58题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段Shortly after the flight, however, Hunter was surprised to receive a package in the mail from an anonymous(匿名) sender. Inside was his wallet— along with an additional $40 in cash. “I rounded your cash up to an even $100 so you could celebrate getting your wallet back. Have fun!!!”, read a letter that was enclosed with the package. 然而，在飞行后不久，亨特惊讶地收到了一个匿名寄件人寄来的包裹。里面是他的钱包，还有40美元的现金。包裹里的一封信写到，“我把你的现金四舍五入到100美元，这样你就可以庆祝找回钱包了。玩得开心! ! !”。 可知，托德·布朗发现钱包后他不仅把它还给了失主，还加了一些额外的现金在里面。故答案为He not only returned it to the owner, but added some extra cash in it./He decided to return it with additional $40.
【59题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段Brown says that he often tries to do good deeds without any recognition and that’s why he neglected to sign his full name on the letter“布朗说他经常尝试在不被认出的情况下做好事，这就是为什么他在信上没有签自己的全名。”由此可知，托德·布朗在归还钱包时不签上自己的全名是因为“因为他想在不被出的情况下做好事。”故答案为Because he wanted to do good deeds without any recognition./
Because he didn’t want to be recognized.
【60题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“This story is more about restoring faith in people than anything. I personally want to thank Todd Brown for restoring faith that there are amazing people out there and that the world is not as cruel as it’s being made out to be.” “这个故事更多是为了恢复人们的信心。我个人要感谢托德·布朗(Todd Brown)，他恢复了人们的信心，让人们相信世界上还有很棒的人，世界并不像人们想象的那么残酷。”由此可知，信念和我们呼吸的空气一样重要。没有它，我们生活的世界就不会美丽。/信仰有助于在人们之间建立一种特殊的纽带，使世界更加美丽。故答案为Faith is just as important as the air we breathe in. Without it, the world we live in won’t be beautiful./ Faith helps to create a special bond between people , which makes the world more beautiful.
