21、As the global population grows and shifts towards urban living, the land available in our cities is being under increasing pressure.In order to be sustainable, cities need to find ways to minimize their urban expansion.One option is to build upwards; another is to dig down.

In Montreal, constructed underground to relieve overcrowding in the city streets is RESO —one of the largest underground complexes in the world.It is a network connecting everything from shops and banks to flats and hotels.This shows how going underground can meet human needs whilst also bringing certain environmental benefits.Underground transport can reduce traffic jam above ground, thereby improving air quality.Furthermore, thanks to their relatively constant climate throughout the year, underground spaces consume less energy for heating and cooling.

When planning underground construction projects, developers must consider existing structures on or near the site, such as the remains of historic buildings.Designers must also ensure any underground space intended for human use has good air quality.One example is the forthcoming LDN Hotel,an underground hotel beneath the streets of London.Designers are using a wide range of plans to help keep the air inside clean,together with a state-of-the-art ventilation system (通风系统).

Light is another key consideration.In New York, plans for the world's first underground park Demonstrate novel ways of bringing natural rays beneath the surface.By employing solar technology light is to be reflected down through a series of pipes into the terminal below.This light would be sufficient for photosynthesis (光合作用) to occur and the park's plants to grow naturally.

Today's architects are developing innovative ways to make underground spaces functional and comfortable.The question remains whether they can provide sustainable and realistic options for the future.Besides practical considerations, there exists the challenge of building a positive perception of “going underground".Yet, the obvious challenges of constructing habitable underground spaces must be weighed against the urgent issue of housing the world's ballooning population.One day, it will feel as natural to live and work underground as it does to do so over 100 storeys high.

【1】What does the author intend to do in paragraph 2?

A．To advertise the underground complexes.

B．To give suggestions on relieving crowdedness.

C．To explain how the underground network works.

D．To introduce the benefits of building underground.

【2】How does the author develop his opinion?

A．By giving examples.

B．By listing study findings.

C．By making comparisons.

D．By quoting others' words.

【3】Which of the following will the author agree?

A．Going underground can solve the problem of global warming.

B．Good air quality is superior to other factors.

C．Natural light is not necessary for underground plants.

D．The future of going underground calls for people's positive attitude.

【4】What is the text mainly about?

A．Ways to house the world population.

B．Concerns for the urban expansion.

C．Why and how to build underground.

D．The promising future of our cities.

22、Biological age might help determine your quality of life as you get older, since your cells and organs have ages varying from your regular age. Many aging-research scientists believe that knowing your biological age could help you postpone or avoid age-related illnesses, and better predict an individual’s lifespan (寿命). Other scientists argue that there’s no standard way to measure biological age. At the center of the debate are hopes that people can extend their lives by changing their behaviors.

Since everybody’s genes (基因) are different, tracking your biological age could help determine your most helpful habits and customize them. People also can attempt to lower their biological age through ways of effectively managing stress.

Dr. Sinclair at Harvard is developing a biological-age test based on chemical changes on DNA. He plans to launch it with a new company called Tally Health. Though criticized by other scientists for hyping the results of some of his findings for his business, he says that he doesn’t overstate his research findings.

Inside Tracker, a personalized-nutrition company founded by scientists, calculates biological age by having users take blood tests and analyzing the samples for marks of diseases. Those who test as older than their years get recommendations to adjust diet, exercise and medicine.

Many other health startups are offering testing that claims to calculate biological age, sometimes with little scientific backing, and designing medicine aimed at boosting youthfulness.

Stephen Robert tested himself earlier this year with an at-home blood test as an effort to improve his health at age 51. “I drink and smoke,” he says, so he expected his biological age to be a lot older than his calendar age. He says he was shocked when test results reported his biological age was 24.

Gordan Lauc, professor of biochemistry and chief scientific officer of GlycanAge, says the results make sense given Mr. Robert’s genetics—longevity runs in his family and lifestyle, which is likely less stressful.

【1】What can people do after knowing their biological ages?

A．Improve their calendar ages to prevent diseases.

B．Determine ways to effectively manage stress.

C．Get personalized-nutrition plan to improve health.

D．Lengthen their lives by changing their conduct.

【2】Why did some scientists criticize Dr. Sinclair?

A．He overstated his findings to make a profit.

B．His scientific research was far from mature.

C．His company let out people’s biological age.

D．Biological-age test did harm to people’s health.

【3】What accounts for Stephen’s young biological age according to Gordan?

A．He manages stress in life successfully.

B．He had good nutrition at his childhood.

C．His family has a long-life tradition.

D．He has improved his biological life.

【4】Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text?

A．Understand Your Calendar Life and Stay Healthy

B．Meet Your Biological Age and Extend Your Life

C．Improve Your Biological Age with Good Habits

D．Employ Biological Technology to Start Business

23、Rainforests are disappearing at a surprisingly fast speed, largely due to human development over the past few centuries. Once covering 14% of land on Earth, rainforests now make up only 6%. Since 1947, the total area of rainforests has probably been reduced by more than half, to about 6.2 to 7.8 million square kilometers.

Many biologists expect rainforests will lose 5-10% of their species every ten years. Rapid deforestation could cause many important rainforest habitats to disappear completely in the next hundred years.

Such rapid habitat loss is due to the fact that 100 acres of rainforest are cleared every minute for agricultural and industrial development. In the Pacific Northwest’s rainforests, logging companies cut down trees for wood used in building while paper industries use the wood for pulp. In the Amazon rainforest, large agricultural industries clear large parts of forests for growing crops. In the Congo rainforest, roads and other infrastructure (基础建设) development have reduced habitat and cut off living areas for many rainforest species. Throughout both the Amazon and Congo, logging operations clear-cut to build roads or for other purposes. Some rainforests are threatened by large hydroelectric power projects. Development is encroaching on rainforest habitats from all sides.

Economic inequalities increase this rapid deforestation. Many rainforests are located in developing countries with economies based on natural resources. Wealthy nations drive need for products, and economic development increases energy use. These needs encourage local governments to develop rainforest at a slow speed. Poor people who live on or near these lands are also motivated to improve their lives by changing forests into farmland.

【1】What feeling does the author want to convey by listing figures?

A．Frustrated.

B．Disgusted.

C．Inspired.

D．Concerned.

【2】What caused the reduction of habitat for many rainforest species in Congo?

A．The demand for numerous products.

B．The motivation from local governments.

C．The construction of fundamental facilities.

D．The cooperation with developing countries.

【3】What does the underlined part “encroaching on” in paragraph 3 mean?

A．Tearing up.

B．Relying on.

C．Holding back.

D．Benefiting from.

【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

A．Changes of Rainforests

B．Threats to Rainforests

C．Comments on Rainforests

D．Projects in Rainforests

24、A Few Tips for Starting an Art Habit

Art is good for your mind and body. It can reduce stress and anxiety and improve your mood.【1】 Here are some things you need to know.

•Figure out your mode of creative expression. You can start with what you enjoy, but keep an open mind. Anything that engages your creative mind is good for you: finger painting, cooking, baking, oil painting, weaving, writing screenplays—the sky’s the limit.【2】 Mix them up—do whatever you’re in the mood for.

•Focus on the making, and let go of expectations. Once you have your art materials, here comes the fun part. Mess around! It’s the physical act of making art that causes those feelings of stress relief—not what you make or how you make it. You don’t even need to like what you’re making.【3】 When you don’t like what you are making, it frees you up to explore new ideas.

•Carve out time and space for art. Try to find a special time in your week to devote to your practice. You don’t need a few hours.【4】 In addition, try to set aside a corner table for your art supplies. If space is an issue, put them all in a basket or a plastic container that’s easily accessible.

•【5】 Some days, you won’t feel like making art. That’s OK. Try to understand what’s going on. What’s stopping you from making art? Are you anxious? If you’re too anxious to make art, address the anxiety. Stand up from the couch and go to take a walk or a run.

A．Get yourself in the mood.

B．Get familiar with the basis of art.

C．In fact, that can be a positive thing.

D．When is the best age to start an art habit?

E．But how can you start your creative art habit?

F．And don’t feel like you have to stick to one thing.

26、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。

Light a lamp and we can warm a heart. Terry was a middle-aged leather trader whose repeated failure in career made him a depressed man, often complaining that he had been cheated by others and cursed his own misfortune. Having stayed in the city for years, he thought he accomplished nothing.

One day, he told his wife he was so disappointed with the city that he had to leave it immediately. So, his family moved to another city, which he thought would bring good fortune to him. However, it was not easy for people to move to another place, for they had to handle quantities of stuffs and encounter many strangers. The whole family reached there in the evening of a weekend, with their clothes almost wet. It was a tough rainy night. The wind was howling dreadfully and the rain was pouring from the heaven, beating against the branches of lined trees on the road. The world was swallowed with a sea of darkness. Tired and wet, they didn’t have time to have supper. Terry and his wife were busily tidying up their new home when the light suddenly went out. Worse still, the sudden darkness scared his children to cry immediately. Terry’s wife hurried to hug them to ease their tension. Terry was regretful to have forgotten to bring along candles and had to wait helplessly in a low mood.

Just then, he heard heavy but hesitant knocks on his door that could be clearly heard in the thundering night. Instantly, all the family were totally silent, for they were all curious about the knocks. “Who’s it?” Terry asked, since they were newcomers to this city there must be nobody who knew them. Tired and busy, he especially hated to be disturbed at the moment, so he dragged his legs slowly to the door and opened it impatiently. Actually, Terry didn’t realize his negative behavior would have a bad effect on his children at all! Outside the window, the wind and the thundering ruled the world entirely in their power.
