There have been a few times in my life when I felt very lonely. I particularly remember my loneliness when I moved to New York City. I had a couple of friends in the city, still, it was a time in my life when I needed to put forth some effort to form more meaningful relationships. But the more I went out to parties, the more disconnected and lonely I felt. Feeling lonely in a room full of people, or in my case, a whole city packed with people everywhere, was the loneliest I have ever felt.
So, rather than trying a new way to make friends, I was more likely to ignore phone calls from friends, and I looked at social invitations and opportunities to meet new people as drudgery. Looking back on this period of loneliness, I wonder at the way I isolated myself instead of reaching out to those who were willing to keep me company and offer friendship.
What I have learned from my own experience and the experience of many of my friends is that more often than not, those who feel lonely choose isolation. Indeed many of my own friends describe avoiding social life as a way of dealing with feelings of loneliness.
This behavior is somewhat common, and new research takes a big step towards explaining this behavior. According to leading experts on the loneliness, Stephanie and John Cacioppo, there is an evolutionary explanation for this tendency to isolate when we are feeling lonely. By monitoring lonely people’s brainwaves, they found that lonely people tend to respond negatively to social life. “Loneliness causes some brain-related changes that put us into a socially nervous mode,” Dr. Christian Jarrett explains.
Making ourselves aware of this evolutionary natural tendency could actually be the first step in fighting loneliness. Once we know that we are more sensitive to negativity during lonely spells, we can focus our energy on resisting the desire to put up walls.

A. Lonely people tend to disgust social life.
B. People respond negatively to lonely people.
C. Loneliness can do great harm to people’s health.
D. Loneliness can be caused by a socially nervous mode.
7. What does the author most probably want to show in the text
A. We shouldn’t be influenced by negativity.
B. We shouldn’t choose isolation when we feel lonely.
C. We should make friends based on scientific findings.
D. We should spend more time with friends than relatives.

【5题详解】

【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段三、四句“By monitoring lonely people’s brainwaves, they found that lonely people tend to respond negatively to social life. “Loneliness causes some brain-related changes that put us into a socially nervous mode,” Dr. Christian Jarrett explains.(通过监测孤独的人的脑电波，他们发现孤独的人倾向于对社交生活做出消极的反应。“孤独会导致一些与大脑相关的变化，使我们进入社交紧张模式，”克里斯蒂安·贾勒特博士解释道)”可知，他们发现感到孤独的人倾向于厌恶社交活动。故选A。

Bee protection is a big issue these days in America, with people planting native pollinator gardens, setting up bee houses, and taking part in scientific activities to monitor local bee populations. And this is for good reason—in North America, a quarter of native bee species are at risk of extinction. Bees pollinate 35 percent of our global food supply and many of the wild plants our ecosystems depend on.
No Mow May, a movement that began in the UK, is now rapidly spreading throughout the US. Its popularity lies in its being simple: Just give bees a help during the crucial springtime by removing a chore from your list and letting your lawn grow for the month of May. This lets “lawn flowers” such as dandelions grow at a time when bee food is rare.
Dandelions, despite being pretty and useful, are non-native. Then why do we promote a movement that encourages their growth Here’s the basic answer don’t let “perfect” be the enemy of “good”. Sure, it’d be great to turn your entire neighborhood into a bee kingdom of native plants, but that can take lots of time and money.
While dandelions have become the poster child for No Mow May, other plants-including native species — may also appear in your lawn. “Besides dandelions, there are many other plants that are going to be there,” says Dr. Claudio Gratton at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
In Massachusetts, scientists found 63 species of plants in lawns, 30 percent of which were native to the state. Most of the Americans probably loved dandelions as children but have tended to hate them as adults because of American lawn culture, which allows no flowers. “No Mow May forces us to think about our relationship with nature. We should reflect on the way we have made nature suit our needs, and realize flowers play really important roles,” says Dr. Claudio Gratton.
8. What is the background to No Mow May in the US
A. Native bee species are increasing. B. There is a tendency to protect bees.
C. Bees mainly depend on garden plants. D. More people have no time to cut lawns.
9. What do we know about the No Mow May
A. It needs almost no cost. B. Few Americans support it.
C. It is aimed at growing dandelions. D. It appeals for careful attention to the lawns.
10. What does the underlined part “poster child” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Slight element. B. Rare exception.
C. Typical example. D. Difficult problem.
11. Which of the following agrees with American lawn culture
A. A bee-friendly lawn. B. A regularly cut lawn.
C. A lawn growing naturally. D. A lawn with native flowers.
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. C 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。“No Mow May”运动起源于英国，并在北美迅速扩展开来。通过这项活动，人们可以为草坪留下自由生长的花，以此让蜜蜂授粉。这一活动不仅有利于生态环境，而且可以让人反思自己与自然的关系。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Bee protection is a big issue these days in America, with people planting native pollinator gardens, setting up bee houses, and taking part in scientific activities to monitor local bee populations. And this is for good reason—in North America, a quarter of native bee species are at risk of extinction. Bees pollinate 35 percent of our global food supply and many of the wild plants our ecosystems depend on.(如今，蜜蜂保护在美国是一个大问题，人们在当地种植授粉花园，建立蜜蜂屋，并参加科学活动来监测当地的蜜蜂数量。这是有充分理由的——在北美，四分之一的本土蜜蜂物种正面临灭绝的危险。蜜蜂为全球35%的食物供应和我们生态系统所依赖的许多野生植物授粉)”可知，No Mow May在美国的背景是有一种保护蜜蜂的趋势。。故选B。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“No Mow May, a movement that began in the UK, is now rapidly spreading throughout the US. Its popularity lies in its being simple: Just give bees a help during the crucial springtime by removing a chore from your list and letting your lawn grow for the month of May. This lets “lawn flowers” such as dandelions grow at a time when bee food is rare.(始于英国的“No Mow May”运动正在全美迅速蔓延。它的流行在于它很简单:只要在关键的春天给蜜蜂一个帮助，从你的清单上删除一件杂务，让你的草坪在5月份生长。这使得蒲公英等“草坪花朵”在蜜蜂食物稀少的时候生长)”可推知，这项运动几乎不用任何费用。故选A。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线词后文“other plants-including native species — may also appear in your lawn”可知，蒲公英是“No Mow May”运动扩展后常见的花，而这项运动也会让草坪上长出其他种类的花。即蒲公英是“No Mow May”运动的典型例子。故可推断，画线部分意为“典型例子”。故选C。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段第二句“Its popularity lies in its being simple: Just give bees a help during the crucial springtime by removing a chore from your list and letting your lawn grow for the month of May.(它的流行在于它很简单：只要在关键的春天给蜜蜂一个帮助，从你的清单上删除一件杂务，让你的草坪在5月份生长)”及最后一段第二句“Most of the Americans probably loved dandelions as children but have tended to hate them as adults because of American lawn culture, which allows no flowers.(大多数美国人可能从小就喜欢蒲公英，但长大后却开始讨厌蒲公英，因为美国的草坪文化不允许花)”可知，一块定期修剪的草坪才是符合美国草坪文化的。故选B。
D
School is important for children and parents everywhere, and there are a lot who take the education of youth very seriously. Parents want their children to succeed, and a lot of children want to do well in school. A new study, which was done by Brigham Young University, has found that students perform better in school if they go on more cultural field trips.
Field trips have always been seen as fun for students, and they look forward to their chances to get out of the classroom and go somewhere fun. But field trips can be difficult for teachers to plan, because they need to make sure that there is learning and value included. Some have argued about the worth of field trips, and whether they are worth a student missing a whole day out of school.
However, Heidi Erickson, one of the researchers in the study, stated that there is no harm in taking students out of the classroom, even for multiple days throughout the year, as long as they are learning and in an appropriate space. The study had 4th- and 5th- grade students from 15 schools take part in this study. They went on three cultural field trips during the school year, to an art museum, a live theater performance, and a classical concert. Then the researchers looked at their school year compared to students who did not take part and this is where they saw the difference.
The study found that students who went on multiple field trips a year had higher test scores, performed better in class and had a greater cultural responsibility over time when compared to students who did not go on as many field trips.
Although there has been a remarkable decrease in the number of field trips due to various reasons, this new study is showing the true value of field trips, especially when they are considered “cultural”.
12. Why is it hard for teachers to plan field trips
A Teachers are concerned about the price
B. Teachers don’t believe in the worth of field trips.
C. Students have to miss a whole day out of school.
D. Teachers have to ensure students’ meaningful experiences.
13. What is Heidi Erickson’s attitude to cultural field trips
A. Skeptical. B. Favorable. C. Concerned. D. Tolerant.
14. How did the researchers draw the conclusion
A. By asking students questions. B. By taking field trips themselves.
C. By doing surveys among teachers. D. By comparing different groups of students.
15. What is the main idea of the text
A. Cultural field trips improve students’ grades.
B. Students perform better in an appropriate space.
C. Why cultural field trips are popular with students.
D. Why the number of students’ field trips is dropping.
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. D 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。研究发现，如果学生经常去博物馆、艺术馆等文化场所，那么他们的学习成绩可能会得到提高。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“But field trips can be difficult for teachers to plan, because they need to make sure that there is learning and value included.(但是实地考察对教师来说很难计划，因为他们需要确保其中包含了学习和价值)”可知，老师需要确保文化旅游活动对学生来说是有收获的，故策划是有难度的。故选D。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段第一句“However, Heidi Erickson, one of the researchers in the study, stated that there is no harm in taking students out of the classroom, even for multiple days throughout the year, as long as they are learning and in an appropriate space.(然而，该研究的研究人员之一Heidi Erickson表示，只要学生在适当的空间学习，让他们离开教室并没有什么坏处，即使是一年中有好几天)”可知，Heidi Erickson对文化旅游活动持肯定态度。故选B。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“However, Heidi Erickson, one of the researchers in the study, stated that there is no harm in taking students out of the classroom, even for multiple days throughout the year, as long as they are learning and in an appropriate space. The study had 4th- and 5th- grade students from 15 schools take part in this study. They went on three cultural field trips during the school year, to an art museum, a live theater performance, and a classical concert.

【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段中“A new study, which was done by Brigham Young University, has found that students perform better in school if they go on more cultural field trips.(杨百翰大学的一项新研究发现，如果学生参加更多的文化实地考察，他们在学校的表现会更好)”综合全文可知，本文主要讲述的是文化旅游活动对提高学生的学习成绩有帮助。故选A。

【36题详解】
考查连词。句意：在瑞典，1967年9月3日被称为“Dagen H”或“Day H”。“Dagen H”和“H Day”之间是选择关系，故填or。
【37题详解】

Last December, Jamie McCall was on a cross-country drive as she prepared to move from Florida to Michigan before Christmas. She stopped at a hotel for the night in Cleveland. Tennessee, and while she was getting herself a bite to cat, her beloved cat Tucker escaped from her room. “My cat’s an escape artist,” explained McCall. “He sits beside the door and waits for someone to open it, then he runs out.”
It somehow happened during McCall’s quick mission, and she was shocked to return and find Tucker missing. “I could not find him. I looked everywhere, for hours.”
When Tucker still hadn’t turned up, McCall had no choice but to continue her journey to Michigan, though it broke her heart to drive on without Tucker. A friend told her to post Tucker online, which she did.
Two days later, Holly Lillard was at work at a drugstore near McCall’s hotel. She went outside to sweep and saw a cat jump out from underneath someone’s car. She called the cat over, and he came, which made Lillard realize that he belonged to someone who was missing him.
Lillard asked around and when no one claimed him, she posted a photo of Tucker to her area’s “Lost and Found Pets” online group, where she was a regular there, not just because she’s an animal lover whose own dogs are also escape artists, but because her aunt and cousin are the page administrators.
Before the day was even over, McCall had found Lillard and her post. “She sent pictures and I knew immediately it was Tucker,” said McCall. There was just one problem: By the time they connected, McCall was already in Michigan.
“I was trying to make arrangements to get him back to me but I just couldn’t afford it,” said McCall. “I was not financially able to have him shipped back to me or anything like that.”

There have been a few times in my life when I felt very lonely. I particularly remember my loneliness when I moved to New York City. I had a couple of friends in the city, still, it was a time in my life when I needed to put forth some effort to form more meaningful relationships. But the more I went out to parties, the more disconnected and lonely I felt. Feeling lonely in a room full of people, or in my case, a whole city packed with people everywhere, was the loneliest I have ever felt.
So, rather than trying a new way to make friends, I was more likely to ignore phone calls from friends, and I looked at social invitations and opportunities to meet new people as drudgery. Looking back on this period of loneliness, I wonder at the way I isolated myself instead of reaching out to those who were willing to keep me company and offer friendship.
What I have learned from my own experience and the experience of many of my friends is that more often than not, those who feel lonely choose isolation. Indeed many of my own friends describe avoiding social life as a way of dealing with feelings of loneliness.
This behavior is somewhat common, and new research takes a big step towards explaining this behavior. According to leading experts on the loneliness, Stephanie and John Cacioppo, there is an evolutionary explanation for this tendency to isolate when we are feeling lonely. By monitoring lonely people’s brainwaves, they found that lonely people tend to respond negatively to social life. “Loneliness causes some brain-related changes that put us into a socially nervous mode,” Dr. Christian Jarrett explains.
Making ourselves aware of this evolutionary natural tendency could actually be the first step in fighting loneliness. Once we know that we are more sensitive to negativity during lonely spells, we can focus our energy on resisting the desire to put up walls.
4. What happened to the author after she moved to New York City
A. She had no friends there. B. She lacked confidence there.
C. She needed opportunities for parties. D. She felt lonely even with people present.
5. How did the author try to deal with her situation
A. By refusing to go out to meet others. B. By looking for solutions on the Internet.
C. By trying various methods to make friends. D. By doing some drudgery to forget her problem.
6 What did Stephanie and John Cacioppo find in their research
A. Lonely people tend to disgust social life.
B. People respond negatively to lonely people.
C. Loneliness can do great harm to people’s health.
D. Loneliness can be caused by a socially nervous mode.
7. What does the author most probably want to show in the text
A. We shouldn’t be influenced by negativity.
B. We shouldn’t choose isolation when we feel lonely.
C We should make friends based on scientific findings.
D. We should spend more time with friends than relatives.
C
Bee protection is a big issue these days in America, with people planting native pollinator gardens, setting up bee houses, and taking part in scientific activities to monitor local bee populations. And this is for good reason—in North America, a quarter of native bee species are at risk of extinction. Bees pollinate 35 percent of our global food supply and many of the wild plants our ecosystems depend on.
No Mow May, a movement that began in the UK, is now rapidly spreading throughout the US. Its popularity lies in its being simple: Just give bees a help during the crucial springtime by removing a chore from your list and letting your lawn grow for the month of May. This lets “lawn flowers” such as dandelions grow at a time when bee food is rare.
Dandelions, despite being pretty and useful, are non-native. Then why do we promote a movement that encourages their growth Here’s the basic answer don’t let “perfect” be the enemy of “good”. Sure, it’d be great to turn your entire neighborhood into a bee kingdom of native plants, but that can take lots of time and money.
While dandelions have become the poster child for No Mow May, other plants-including native species — may also appear in your lawn. “Besides dandelions, there are many other plants that are going to be there,” says Dr. Claudio Gratton at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
In Massachusetts, scientists found 63 species of plants in lawns, 30 percent of which were native to the state. Most of the Americans probably loved dandelions as children but have tended to hate them as adults because of American lawn culture, which allows no flowers. “No Mow May forces us to think about our relationship with nature. We should reflect on the way we have made nature suit our needs, and realize flowers play really important roles,” says Dr. Claudio Gratton.
8. What is the background to No Mow May in the US
A. Native bee species are increasing. B. There is a tendency to protect bees.
C. Bees mainly depend on garden plants. D. More people have no time to cut lawns.
9. What do we know about the No Mow May
A. It needs almost no cost. B. Few Americans support it.
C. It is aimed at growing dandelions. D. It appeals for careful attention to the lawns.
10. What does the underlined part “poster child” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Slight element. B. Rare exception.
C. Typical example. D. Difficult problem.
11. Which of the following agrees with American lawn culture
A. A bee-friendly lawn. B. A regularly cut lawn.
C. A lawn growing naturally. D. A lawn with native flowers.
D
School is important for children and parents everywhere, and there are a lot who take the education of youth very seriously. Parents want their children to succeed, and a lot of children want to do well in school. A new study, which was done by Brigham Young University, has found that students perform better in school if they go on more cultural field trips.
Field trips have always been seen as fun for students, and they look forward to their chances to get out of the classroom and go somewhere fun. But field trips can be difficult for teachers to plan, because they need to make sure that there is learning and value included. Some have argued about the worth of field trips, and whether they are worth a student missing a whole day out of school.
However, Heidi Erickson, one of the researchers in the study, stated that there is no harm in taking students out of the classroom, even for multiple days throughout the year, as long as they are learning and in an appropriate space. The study had 4th- and 5th- grade students from 15 schools take part in this study. They went on three cultural field trips during the school year, to an art museum, a live theater performance, and a classical concert. Then the researchers looked at their school year compared to students who did not take part and this is where they saw the difference.
The study found that students who went on multiple field trips a year had higher test scores, performed better in class and had a greater cultural responsibility over time when compared to students who did not go on as many field trips.
Although there has been a remarkable decrease in the number of field trips due to various reasons, this new study is showing the true value of field trips, especially when they are considered “cultural”.
12. Why is it hard for teachers to plan field trips
A. Teachers are concerned about the price
B. Teachers don’t believe in the worth of field trips.
C. Students have to miss a whole day out of school.
D Teachers have to ensure students’ meaningful experiences.
13. What is Heidi Erickson’s attitude to cultural field trips

47. 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。
Last December, Jamie McCall was on a cross-country drive as she prepared to move from Florida to Michigan before Christmas. She stopped at a hotel for the night in Cleveland. Tennessee, and while she was getting herself a bite to cat, her beloved cat Tucker escaped from her room. “My cat’s an escape artist,” explained McCall. “He sits beside the door and waits for someone to open it, then he runs out.”
It somehow happened during McCall’s quick mission, and she was shocked to return and find Tucker missing. “I could not find him. I looked everywhere, for hours.”
When Tucker still hadn’t turned up, McCall had no choice but to continue her journey to Michigan, though it broke her heart to drive on without Tucker. A friend told her to post Tucker online, which she did.
Two days later, Holly Lillard was at work at a drugstore near McCall’s hotel. She went outside to sweep and saw a cat jump out from underneath someone’s car. She called the cat over, and he came, which made Lillard realize that he belonged to someone who was missing him.
Lillard asked around and when no one claimed him, she posted a photo of Tucker to her area’s “Lost and Found Pets” online group, where she was a regular there, not just because she’s an animal lover whose own dogs are also escape artists, but because her aunt and cousin are the page administrators.
Before the day was even over, McCall had found Lillard and her post. “She sent pictures and I knew immediately it was Tucker,” said McCall. There was just one problem: By the time they connected, McCall was already in Michigan.
“I was trying to make arrangements to get him back to me, but I just couldn’t afford it,” said McCall. “I was not financially able to have him shipped back to me or anything like that.”
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。
Lillard, however, had an unexpected solution.
