A

It goes without saying that sitting at a desk for a majority of the day will hurt our health.But don't worry because there is a solution!After spending much time investigating the different offers when it comes to exercise equipment suitable for the office，I'd like to reveal some of my top recommendations.

1. Who are the intended readers of the text？ ______

A. Fitness trainers. B. Recovering patients.
C. Office workers. D. Furniture designers.

2. Which equipment promises to improve work efficiency？ ______

A. Stability Cushion and Fitness Tracker.

Well，well，well.It looks like robots are now coming for our beloved furry friends.According to a new study，animal robots may be just as effective，if not better，at providing therapeutic（治疗的）benefits to children as real pets.As someone who has both interacted with real dogs and robots，I can tell you that this is quite a bold claim.
Sure，robots may have some benefits over real dogs.They can work for longer hours and won't cause allergies（过敏）or pass on diseases.But can a robot give you that wet-nosed，tail-wagging，slobber-filled experience that a real dog can？I think not.
Now，I'm not saying that robots don't have their place in therapy.In fact，I can see how an animal robot could be helpful in certain situations where a real dog might not be possible.But let's not go replacing all the good boys and girls with robots just yet.
As for the study，it's interesting to see that while the kids said they loved real-life dogs better，they actually spent more time interacting with the robot.I can only imagine that it was doing some pretty impressive tricks，some robot dance or robot jokes maybe，to hold the kids' attention for that long.
In all seriousness，though，I do think it's important to consider the welfare of therapy dogs.Visiting hospitals can be stressful and tiring for them，and we should be exploring all options to make therapy experiences as positive and enjoyable as possible for both the animals and the patients.
So，while I may not be ready to trade in my furry friends for robots just yet，I am open to the idea of introducing animal robots into therapy programs.Who knows？Maybe one day we'll all have our own personal robot pets that can provide us with just as much love and companionship as the real thing.But until then，I'll stick with my trusty furry friends.

4. What is the text？ ______

A. A response to a recent study. B. A summary of a scientific study.
C. A news report of a new invention. D. A review on a medical experiment.

5. What does the writer mean by saying"this is quite a bold claim"in paragraph 1？ ______

A. The new study is quite a breakthrough.
B. His personal experience supports the study.
C. Robots have no therapeutic benefits to children.
D. Robots cannot replace real pets at present stage.

6. Which of the following is a finding of the new study？ ______

A. The kids preferred robot pets to real dogs.
B. Robots kept the kids' interest for a longer time.
C. The kids' concentration was effectively improved.
D. Robots had more tricks to impress kids than real dogs.

7. Why is the author open to the idea of using robots in therapy？ ______

A. They can share some of therapy pets' work.
B. They can guarantee the welfare of therapy pets.
C. They provide us with just as much love as real pets.
D. They are better at releasing patients' stress and tiredness.

C

The best ideas are often so smart，so simple and so clearly needed；it's strange to discover they don't already exist.So it is with Farm My School，a program that's turning underused land at secondary schools into commercially achievable，regenerative market gardens farmed by and for local communities.
Co-founded by permaculturist Ben Shaw and regenerative educator James McLennan，Farm My School connects local people and organizations through volunteering that helps establish a school's market garden.Students learn about community networks，healthy eating，ecological responsibility，waste reduction，and climate relief while helping with food production.Schools integrate all these into their courses while producing vegetable boxes every week that feed local families，supply the school's food needs and ultimately pay the farmer's salary.
Farm My School has gained the extraordinary enthusiasm of the locals，who answered an online shout-out to buy tickets to the program's launch event at Bell Secondary School last October.Called Build A Farm in a Day Festival，the event featured workshops by Ben and James to share the skills required to build what they say is the world's largest no-dig garden."It was such a powerful event，and I think that comes down to people wanting to act now，"says James."We charged for the experience and 600 guys turned up!They didn't even need free drinks to get excited.We were gardening till midnight.It was amazing.We've got true community buy-in."
Volunteers have since begun beneficial planting throughout the school.Next steps include further discussions with local communities，employing a farmer，and bringing in a teacher to develop courses."We've seen this huge push towards seeing schools as regenerative spaces，not just for planting but for kids to be more connected to the outside world，and really seeing the school in a whole new light，"James says."For us，the big excitement is that by allowing a professional farmer to take the responsibility of growing food，it's not only on the school to look after that farm anymore，which eventually makes it much more sustainable，"adds Ben.

8. Why was Farm My School founded？ ______

A. To raise the income of the local people.
B. To advocate a commercial farming plan.
C. To provide free food for local communities.
D. To turn underused campus land into market gardens.

9. How do schools involve students into the program？ ______

A. By developing program-based courses.
B. By organizing voluntary work in communities.
C. By offering them part-time jobs in the market gardens.
D. By encouraging them to produce daily vegetable boxes.

10. What does the underlined word"buy-in"mean in paragraph 3？ ______

A. Competition. B. Investment. C. Support. D. Protection.

11. What is the highlight of the program according to Ben？ ______

A. It brings in money to support the school.
B. The school farm will be able to last long.
C. The local people will take care of the farm.
D. Students connect more with the outside world.

In 1977，Irene Pepperberg，a Harvard graduate，decided to investigate the thought processes of another creature by talking to it.To do this，she would teach a one-year-old African gray parrot（鹦鹉），Alex，to reproduce the sounds of the English language.
Pepperberg bought Alex in a pet store，where she let the store's assistant choose him because she didn't want other scientists to say that she had intentionally chosen an especially smart bird.Given that Alex's brain was just the size of a walnut，most researchers thought Pepperberg's communication study would be futile.
But with Pepperberg's patient teaching，Alex learned how to follow almost 100 English words.He could count to six and had learned the sound for seven and eight.But the point was not to see if Alex could learn words by heart.Pepperberg wanted to get inside his mind and learn more about a bird's understanding of the world.
In one demonstration，Pepperberg held up a green key and a green cup for him to look at."What's the same？"she asked."Co-lor，"Alex responded without hesitation."What's different？"Pepperberg asked."Shape，"Alex quickly replied.His voice had the sound of a cartoon character.But the words —and what can only be called the thoughts—were entirely his.Many of Alex's skills，such as his ability to understand the concepts of"same"and"different"，are rare in the animal world.Living in a complex society，parrots like Alex must keep track of changing relationships and environments.
During the demonstration，as if to offer final proof of the mind inside his bird's brain，Alex spoke up."Talk clearly!"he commanded，when one of the younger birds Pepperberg was also teaching mispronounced the word"green".
Alex knew all the answers himself and was getting bored."He's moody，"said Pepperberg，"so he interrupts the others，or he gives the wrong answer just to be difficult."Pepperberg was certainly learning more about the mind of a parrot，but like the parent of a troublesome teenager，she was learning the hard way.

12. Why did Pepperberg let the shop assistant choose the bird？ ______

A. A bird with a small brain was needed.
B. She wanted a very smart bird for her study.
C. A research subject should be randomly chosen.
D. The shop assistant was better at choosing birds.

13. What might most researchers think of Pepperberg's study at first？ ______

A. Innovative. B. Practical. C. Costly. D. Fruitless.

14. Which of the following aspects of Alex's ability did Pepperberg's study focus on？ ______

A. Understanding concepts. B. Calculating.
C. Recognizing voices. D. Creating English words.

15. What caused Pepperberg's struggle in her study？ ______

A. Her instructions had to be easy for Alex.
B. Alex was sometimes too clever to control.
C. Alex would point out other birds' mistakes.
D. She had trouble understanding Alex's mood.

What makes a work of architecture great？Most people would argue that aesthetics（美感）are the most important.（1） ______ However，Roman architect Marcus Vitruvius Pollio believed that we should also consider durability and function when assessing a structure.The Rostonville Library in my city is a great example of Vitruvius's principles.
Constructed entirely of granite—a hard and tough stone，the library is durable.It can withstand environmental pollution.For example，it is resistant to acid rain.Moreover，its granite structure is stable so it's more likely to survive an earthquake.（2） ______ It uses solar energy for heating and a rooftop garden for cooling.
（ 3） ______ Providing free access to print and digital information，it conveys a feeling of openness and accessibility.Furthermore，the entire library is on one level，and it has an open design—there are no inner walls or dividers.In addition，large windows let in plenty of natural light，so it's easy to see and get to each department within the library.
Finally，the library is beautiful，with aesthetically pleasing details both inside and out.The large windows are copper-framed（铜框的）.The copper color provides an interesting contrast against the color of the granite structure and it will remain as the copper ages.Growth from the rooftop garden，which reaches down the sides of the building，adds to the aesthetics of the building.（4） ______
Durability，functionality and beauty make the Rostonville Library a great structure.Architects who follow Vitruvius's principles help to make the city more pleasant to live in.（5） ______

A.The library is also sustainable.
B.It is true that beauty is critical.
C.This is not the only concern of the architects.
D.The library was designed with functionality in mind.
E.It softens the lines of the structure and helps it to fit into its natural surroundings.
F.Plus，the library was built on the edge of the city park，surrounded by native plants.
G.Buildings that fulfill these criteria offer both peace of mind and beauty for their users.

一、速读全文，了解大意知主题。
　　阅读能力一般指阅读速度和理解能力两个方面。阅读速度是阅读最基本的能力，考生必须在十分有限的时间内运用略读、扫读、跳读等技巧快速阅读，搜寻关键词、主题句，捕捉时空、顺序、情节、人物、观点，并且理清文章脉络，把握语篇实质。
二、看题干，带着问题读文章。
　　首先要掌握问题的类型，客观信息题可以从文章中直接找到答案；而主观判断题考查的是对文章的感情基调等，这类题必须经过对作者的态度、意图以及对整篇文章进行深一层的推理等。其次，了解试题题干以及各个选项所包含的信息，然后有针对性地对文章进行扫读，对有关信息进行快速定位。此法加强了阅读的针对性，提高了做题的准确率。
三、逻辑推理，做好深层理解题。
　　在实际阅读中，有时作者并未把意图说出来，阅读者要根据字面意思，通过语篇逻辑关系，研究细节的暗示，推敲作者的态度，理解文章的寓义。要求读者对文字的表面信息进行分析、挖掘和逻辑推理，不能就事论事，以偏概全。推理题在提问中常用的词有：infer，imply，suggest，indicate等。
四、猜词悟义，扫除阅读拦路虎。
　　猜词是应用英语的重要能力。它不但需要准确无误地理解上下文，而且要有较大的泛读量，掌握或认识较多的课外词汇。我们要学会"顺藤摸瓜"，通过构词，语法，定义，同位，对比，因果，常识，上下文等线索确定词义。

【解析】（1）考查可数名词复数。句意：尽管洞穴条件艰苦，樊锦诗还是决心研究民族文化遗产，并留下来追求她的梦想。分析可知，此处应用名词作介词despite的宾语，condition在这里意为"条件"，通常用复数形式。故填conditions。
（2）考查形容词比较级。句意：随着时间的推移，樊锦诗对保护民族文化遗产的信奉越来越坚定。根据时间状语over time及句意可知，此处表示她保护民族文化遗产的信奉随着时间的推移越来越强，故应使用形容词strong比较级stronger作表语。故填stronger。
（3）考查过去分词。句意：面对平衡保护和旅游业的挑战，樊锦诗知道必须找到一个解决方案。be faced with"面对"，固定搭配，分析可知，此处应用非谓语动词作状语，故去掉be动词，句首单词首字母应大写。故填Faced。
（4）考查时态、语态及主谓一致。句意：她确信洞穴的社会重要性远远超过了它们的经济潜力，科学保护是它们幸存的关键。分析可知，所填词为句子谓语动词，根据上下文可知，文章是在讲述过去的事情，应使用一般过去时态，主语she与动词convince"使相信"之间为被动关系，故应用一般过去时的被动语态，主语she为单数，be动词应用was。故填was convinced。
（5）考查不可数名词。句意：她确信洞穴的社会重要性远远超过了它们的经济潜力，用科学的方法保护是它们幸存的关键。分析可知，此处应用名词作介词to的宾语，survival"幸存"为不可数名词。故填survival。

（7）考查动词不定式。句意：2016年，"数字敦煌"在网上推出，让全世界的人都能欣赏到洞窟的全面图像。allowsb.to do sth."允许某人做某事"，故此处应用动词不定式宾语补足语。故填to enjoy。
（8）考查副词。句意：八十多岁的樊锦诗还是像以前一样忙碌，不知疲倦地保护和管理着石窟。分析可知，此处应用副词tirelessly作状语，修饰动词working。故填tirelessly。
（9）考查固定搭配。句意：她希望年轻人能继承"莫高精神"，把她度过一生的敦煌书院建设得更好。根据句意可知，此处表示"（迎着困难）坚持下去"，短语carry on/forward符合题意。故填on/forward。
（10）考查定语从句关系词。句意：她希望年轻人能继承"莫高精神"，把她度过一生的敦煌书院建设得更好。分析可知，此处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词为Dunhuang Academy，关系词在从句中作地点状语，故应用关系副词where引导。故填where。
这是一篇记叙文，文章介绍了考古学家樊锦诗一生致力于对莫高窟保护的事情。
