第二部分閱讀理解（共兩節(jié)，滿分42. 5分）
第一節(jié)（共12小題；每小題2.5分，滿分30分）
閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的A、B、C和D四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。
A
Though a trip through Beijing has plenty of historical architecture to offer, the city's skyline also holds many achievements of modem design. However, Beijing has spread out its contemporary landmarks throughout the city, making it difficult for architectural enthusiasts to visit all of them. Therefore, we decided to gather them all into one place. Here is our list of Beijing's most iconic （標(biāo)志性的）modem buildings:
CCTV Headquarters
The “Big Pants,“ as it is more commonly known, is one of just ten buildings in the city over 200m tall. The structure of the two leaning towers connected at the top and bottom by horizontal off-shoots （橫向分支）is now so iconic that it is often used in film and television to prove the story is set in Beijing.
CITIC Tower

Standing at 528m, CITIC tower is Beijing's tallest building and the tenth tallest skyscraper in the world. The office building serves as the headquarters of CITIC Group, but the basement level will soon contain a large shopping center and subway station.
National Stadium

Better known by its nickname the "Bird's Nest”, the National Stadium is recognizable by its steel structures like a bamboo forest. The stadium, which seats an audience of 91,000, was built for the 2008 Summer Olympics. It is also scheduled to be used for the opening and closing ceremonies of the 2022 Winter Olympics.
National Centre for the Performing Arts

It's not hard to see how this theater earned the nickname of the “Giant Egg”. With an opera hall, music hall, several art exhibition halls, and restaurants, the National Centre for the Performing Arts is also the largest theater building in Asia. Besides the shape, its unique feature is that its appearance from glass to titanium （鈦） and the surrounding reflection pool.
21. What's the purpose of writing this article?
A. To show how beautiful the city is.
B. To express the author's deepest love for Beijing.
C. To bring convenience to architectural fans.
D. To attract more people to come to our capital city.
22. We can find the nicknames of the following except.
A. CITIC Tower B. National Stadium
C. CCTV Headquarters D. National Centre for the Performing Arts
23. Which of the following statements about Beijing's modern buildings is true?
A. The "Bird's Nest” was constructed for the 2008 Winter Olympics.
B. CCTV Headquarters is one of only ten buildings in Beijing more than 200m tall.
C. National Centre for the Performing Arts is the largest theater building in the world.
D. CITIC tower is the biggest building in Beijing and the tenth tallest skyscraper worldwide.
B
Trees are “social creature" that communicate with each other in cooperative ways that hold lessons for humans, too, ecologist Suzanne Simard says. Simard grew up in Canadian forests as a child of loggers before becoming an ecologist. She's now a professor of forest ecology at the University of British Columbia.
Trees are linked to neighboring trees by a network of fungi （真菌）below the surface of the earth that resembles the nervous networks in the brain, she explains. In one study, Simard watched as a Douglas fir tree that had been injured by insects appeared to send chemical warning signals to a pine nearby. The pine tree then produced defense enzymes （酶）to protect against the insect.
“This was a breakthrough," Simard says. The trees were sharing ''information that actually is important to the health of the whole forest."
In addition to warning each other of danger, Simard says that trees have been known to share nutrients at critical times to keep each other healthy. She says the trees in a forest are often linked to each other via an older tree she calls a “mother" or "hub" tree.
“In connecting with all the trees of different ages, the mother trees can actually ease the growth of these young trees," she says. "The young trees will link into the network of the old trees and benefit from that huge resource capacity. And the old trees would also pass a little bit of carbon and nutrients and water to the young trees, at crucial times in their lives, that actually help them survive."
The study of trees took on a new resonance （共鳴）for Simard when she suffered from breast cancer. During her treatment, she learned that one of the medicines she relied on was actually obtained from what some trees produce for their own mutual defense. She explains her research on cooperation in the forest, and shares her personal story in the new book Finding the Mother Tree: Discovering the Wisdom of the Forest.
24. How could a Douglas fir tree send chemical warning signals to a pine nearby?
A. By an underground network of fungi.
B. By the nervous networks in the brain.
C. By making cooperation with each other.
D. By holding lessons to it as human beings.
25. According to Simard, what was a breakthrough?
A. Simard was-brought up in Canadian forests.
B. She became a professor of forest ecology.
C. The pine tree produced defense enzymes.
D. Vital information was shared among trees.
26. What helped Simard understand trees further?
A. Her rich knowledge of trees.
B. Her childhood in the forest.
C. Her medicine gained from trees.
D. Her research on cooperation.
27. In Simard's book we may discover the wisdom of the forest except.
A. communicating cooperatively
B. warning each other of danger
C. sharing nutrients at critical times
D. sacrificing mother trees for survival
C
An experimental device that turns thoughts into text has allowed a man who was left paralyzed （癱瘓）by an accident to construct sentences swiftly on a computer screen. The man was able to type with 95% accuracy just by imagining he was handwriting letters on a sheet of paper, a team reported Wednesday in the journal Nature.
“What we found, surprisingly, is that he can type at about 90 characters per minute," says Krishna Shenoy of Stanford University. The device would be most useful to someone who could neither move nor speak, says Dr. Jaimie Henderson, a professor at Stanford and co-director, with Shenoy, of the Stanford NPTL.
“We can also envision it being used by someone who can't move but wants to use email,” Henderson says, “or, say, a computer programmer who wants to go back to work.”
The idea of decoding （解碼）the brain activity involved in handwriting is 'just impressive, says John Ngai, who directs the National Institutes of Health's BRAIN Initiative, which helped fund the research. "But it was only on one subject in a laboratory setting," Ngai says. "So at the moment it's a great example of proof of principle."
The man who agreed to test the device is unable to move his arms and legs as the result of an accident. A few years ago, the man agreed to take part in a study of an experimental system called BrainGate2. It allows people who are paralyzed to control computers and other devices using only their thoughts.
The system relies on devices surgically implanted （植入）near the part of the brain that controls movement. In previous studies, participants had learned to control a computer cursor （光 標(biāo)）or robotic arm by imagining they were moving their hands.
This time, Henderson, Shenoy and a team of scientists had the man imagine he was writing individual letters by hand while a computer monitored the electrical activity in his brain. Eventually, the computer learned to decode the distinct pattern of activity associated with every letter of the alphabet as well as several symbols. Once that process is complete, Shenoy says, “We can determine if the letter you wrote is an A or a B or a C and then show on the screen and you're able to spell out words and sentences and so forth one letter at a
In previous experiments, participants had been able to use their thoughts to “point and click” at letters on a screen. But that approach was much slower than imagined handwriting. Also, because the new system relies on familiar thoughts, the participant was able to use it almost immediately.
28. By imagining handwriting, a person can type about correct characters per minute.
A. 43. B.45. C. 86. D. 90.
29. Which can replace the underlined word “envision“ in the third paragraph?
A. guide B. imagine C. suggest D. promote
30. What is John Ngai's attitude to the handwriting approach?
A. Favorable. B. Cautious. C. Ambiguous. D. Disapproving.
31. In order to spell out words, the participants should .
A. have the electrical activity in their brain monitored
B. first learn to take control of a computer cursor or robotic arm
C. be able to use their fake hands to "point and click" at letters on a screen
D. have devices implanted near the brain part controlling thinking
32. Which section of a website may this text appear?
A. Entertainment. B. Health. C. Education. D. Medicine.

Can Skipping Dinner Help You Lose Weight?
If your phone needs a software upgrade, you would likely run the operation when ifs fully charged. 33 A new study finds human energy systems operate in a similar fashion: Our metabolisms（新陳代謝）likely function best in the morning when our bodies are fresh and fully charged.
Specifically, people who eat larger breakfasts and adopt an 18-hour overnight fast （禁食期）, say from 1 pm to 7 am, have the lowest body weights. 34
Contrary to the popular belief, these extended overnight fasts seem to help increase metabolic function. Lead author Dr Hana Kahleova finds meals consumed in the evening, compared to those eaten in the morning, result in higher blood sugar, which happens when insulin （胰島素）cannot process glucose （葡萄糖）into energy. 35 What does this mean for you? Depending on your goals and health status, you may consider rearranging your meals. If you're looking to lose 10 pounds, the 18- to 19-hour overnight fast might work well for you. 36 So you could experiment with skipping one meal each day.
37 People who maintain highly active lifestyles, for instance, and need adequate fuel to power morning runs or help muscle fibers recover from intense evening workouts like weightlifting might not benefit. Still, the concept provides an insight into how our bodies use fuel efficiently.
A. Of course, this approach isn't for everyone.
B. So, let's say you consume 1,500 to 1,800 calories a day.
C. Those who ate later in the day, after 6 pm, had higher body weights.
D. Otherwise, your phone and its software would take longer to sync （同步）.
E. This means eating a larger breakfast, a medium-sized lunch and no dinner.
F. Like a block in a machine extra glucose slows our metabolic process down
G. The advice to eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a beggar has new science behind it.

I was surprised to learn the sleeping arrangements at the log home （木屋）we were sharing with my parents-in-law for the week — specifically that my young daughter had agreed to sleep in a first-floor bedroom by herself.

At bedtime, my wife and I went to the upstairs room, and my parents-in-law 39 a bedroom on the first floor.

Some time later, I was 46 by a loud, low-pitched growl （低吼）.I saw a large 47 in the doorway and 48 as it inched closer to me. I realized what it was — only after my father-in-law leaned in to give me a 49 . I said in my deepest voice, "Dad, it's me." My father-in-law jumped back.

I'm going to tell you a story. It's a tale about love, heartbreak and great shame. And it's my story. This is a story I've told every February since I started teaching in 1999. Its power lies, I think, in how it changes the way my students see me. Their super teacher is gone temporarily. Left behind is an 11-year-old girl whose feelings are hurt — and each of my students is very angry about the cruelty of the one who did the mean thing.
In my sixth grade, I fell madly in love. His name was David. He was tall, cute, kind of a bad boy — which I found attractive. He had no interest in me at all, but I wrote down his name all over my diary: xx loves xx in giant hearts.
So it was Valentine's Day, elementary school style - construction paper mailboxes. Someone's mom brought in cupcakes. Our parents bought us those variety-pack cards to send to everyone in class, with words like “Be My Honey" or “My Darling, Happy Valentine's Day.”
It was party day. I spilled my cards onto my desk, and in many small envelopes, I saw a large one, shining like diamonds. My mind raced: "Wow-someone likes me enough to buy me this giant card. Who could it be from?” With trembling hands I tore open the envelope and drew out a sparkly image of a queen seated on her throne （寶座）.The heading read, "To a Queen of a Valentine." I was overcome with excitement. Slowly, I turned the card over, and at the bottom I saw the signature and almost fainted: David. It was all too perfect to be real. Then my eyes traveled up to the writing above his signature. In large, uneven （參差不齊的）letters, he had written me a special message.

Paragraph 1:
It read, "To the Ugliest Girl in Our Class. ", and I completely froze, tears rolling down my face.

Paragraph 2:
It was Valentine's Day again and I held a party for my students, a party that celebrated kindness instead of cruelty. ▲
