During the cold winter months these green walls have the opposite effect and act as insulation from bitter temperatures.The additional layer prevents heat from escaping, thus helping you to consume less gas or oil.Plants offer instant stress relief by softening the environment around us.They reduce noise and pollution.Gardens have an instant calming effect.In workplaces plants have been exploited to increase productivity; in the home they increase peace.They ease stress and tiredness, and offer rich oxygen.Gardens are strategically placed in hospitals for their calming benefits, which can lead to a patients shortened stay.Try doubling the health benefits by building an eatable living wall in your kitchen.Absolutely, these greens will relax you and purify the air you breathe.With so many benefits, why not build your own living wall?Living Walls: How They Can Improve Your Home and Your HealthBrief introductionA green wall, where plants grow well if there is sufficient (1)_, benefits your environment and health.Improving indoor air (2)_As the air we breathe contains pollutants, choose the plants that can more (3)_ remove harmful pollutants.The more plants you grow, the (4)_ air youll breathe.Protectingyour buildingIn addition to offering shelters for little birds and butterflies, green walls naturally act as (5)_ control to prevent your home from corrosion, which otherwise would damage your home.(6)_energyGreen walls protect your building from the heat of the sun in summer and the (7)_ in winter.Accordingly, they allow you to (8)_ your gas or oil consumption.Benefiting healthPlants make people (9)_ stressed and calmer, making the staff more productive and patients recovery time (10)_.答案:1.light/sunshine2.quality/condition3.efficiently4.cleaner/better/fresher5.temperature6Saving/Conserving7.cold/coldness8lower/reduce/decrease/lessen9.less10shortened/shorter檢測評價B卷閱讀理解ADive with Big SharksOur shark dive adventures make use of hookah systems and shark cages. A hookah system is a system of providing air from the surface to divers down below. Cage divers breathe by using a regulator connected to an air hose.Is Shark Diving Dangerous?Yes. You could get sunburn. You could hit your head on the top bunk getting out of bed. You could fall overboard. As for a shark attack, according to the International Shark Attack File, you are far more likely to be killed by a dog or a deer.One Day Cage Diver Adventure 875Our expert shark diver team will acpany you to the best viewing areas within the Marine Sanctuary. There, well drop our cage and prepare to provide you with a view youll never forget.No dive experience is necessary. Our cages sit just below the surface. Youll be able to breathe fortably from your snorkel or air hose while you move about the cage, taking photos and having fun.Top Shark Adventure 375If you want to see great white sharks but prefer them a little further away, we offer great topside shark viewing from our observation deck (甲板). Help scan the horizon for fins and watch for sharks attacking their prey (獵物)Theres No Shark GuaranteeAlthough we go to the best places at the best time of year, we cannot guarantee youll see sharks. Weve been very successful in past shark seasons and expect another incredible year. However, if we see no sharks, there is no refund (退款)語篇解讀:本文是一則廣告,主要介紹兩種類型的鯊魚潛水探險(潛水員籠內(nèi)探險和頂級鯊魚探險),包括價格、探險細(xì)節(jié)、費用和注意事項。1Which of the following is TRUE about the two adventures?ATop Shark Adventure makes use of hookah systems.BTop Shark Adventure is suitable for those worried about danger.CCage Diver Adventure is less interesting than the other.DCage Diver Adventure offers you a view of the bottom of the sea.解析:選B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中細(xì)節(jié)可知,籠內(nèi)探險看到的是海洋保護(hù)區(qū),選項D錯誤;籠內(nèi)探險提供的是永遠(yuǎn)都不會忘記的景色,因此選項C錯誤。頂級鯊魚探險是在甲板上,相對安全,選項B正確;同時它不需要hookah systems(水煙系統(tǒng)),因此選項A錯誤。2We can learn from the advertisement that there might be a risk that _.Ayou are hurt by a shark while diving thereByou are out of breath deep down in the seaCyou fail to achieve your purpose of the tripDyou suffer from lack of skill in shark diving解析:選C推理判斷題。根據(jù)第六段第一、二句可知,探險不保證一定可以看到鯊魚,也就意味著探險者不一定能夠?qū)崿F(xiàn)探險的目的。B(2019蘇北四市一模)I used to think the whole purpose of life was pursuing happiness. Everyone said the path to happiness was success, so I searched for that ideal job, that perfect boyfriend, that beautiful apartment. But instead of ever feeling fulfilled, I felt anxious and adrift. Eventually, I decided to go to graduate school for positive psychology to learn what truly makes people happy.And whats the difference between being happy and having meaning in life? Many psychologists define happiness as a state of fort and ease, feeling good in the moment. Meaning, though, is deeper. The renowned psychologist Martin Seligman says meaning es from belonging to and serving something beyond yourself and from developing the best within you. Our culture is obsessed (癡迷于) with happiness, but I came to see that seeking meaning is the more fulfilling path.There are four pillars (支柱) of a meaningful life.The first pillar is belonging. Belonging es from being in relationships where youre valued for who you are intrinsically and where you value others as well. For many people, belonging is the most essential source of meaning.For others, the key to meaning is the second pillar: purpose. Finding your purpose is not the same thing as finding that job that makes you happy. A hospital custodian told me her purpose is healing sick people. Many parents tell me,“My purpose is raising my children.”The key to purpose is using your strengths to serve others. Without something worthwhile to do, people flounder.The third pillar of meaning is also about stepping beyond yourself, but in a pletely different way: transcendence (超然). Transcendent experiences can change you. Transcendent states are those rare moments when youre lifted above the hustle and bustle of daily life, your sense of self fades away, and you feel connected to a higher reality. For me, Im a writer, and it happens through writing. Sometimes I get so in the zone that I lose all sense of time and place.The fourth pillar is storytelling, the story you tell yourself about yourself. Creating a narrative from the events of your life brings clarity. It helps you understand how you became you. But we dont always realize that were the authors of our stories and can change the way were telling them. Your life isnt just a list of events. You can edit, interpret and retell your story, even as youre constrained by the facts.Thats the power of meaning. Happiness es and goes. But when life is really good and when things are really bad, having meaning gives you something to hold on to.語篇解讀:本文為議論文。說明了追求快樂對于生活的重要性,但作者認(rèn)為更重要的是找尋生活本身的價值和意義。3What can we infer from the first two paragraphs?ALife can be fulfilled by landing ideal jobs.BLife dilemma is easy for us to get out of.CHappiness is the core values in our culture.DHappiness is what most people pursue.解析:選D推理判斷題。由第一段第二句“Everyone said the path to happiness was success.”(我們每個人都說通向幸福的途徑就是成功。)以及第二段最后一句中的“Our culture is obsessed (癡迷于) with happiness”(我們的文化都沉迷于幸福)可知,現(xiàn)在大多數(shù)人都在追求幸福。4From the four pillars of a meaningful life, we can know that _. Anothing is as essential a source of meaning as belongingBpurpose is less about what you want than what you giveCtranscendent fades easily and rarely makes us cheerfulDthe way of telling stories guarantees a meaningful life解析:選B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第五段可知,找到你的目標(biāo)和找到讓你感到快樂的工作不是一回事,找到目標(biāo)的關(guān)鍵在于盡己所能幫助他人。B項“目的性更多是關(guān)于你所給予的,而不是你所渴望得到的”正確。5The passage aims to tell us that _. Ameaning is more important than happinessBseeking meaning does more good than badCchasing happiness can make people unhappyDmeaning has deeper psychological significance解析:選A主旨大意題。縱觀全文,作者始終沒有離開對meaning和happiness的討論,也就是說這兩個詞是文中的關(guān)鍵詞,起到總結(jié)全文的作用。選項B、C、D三項均為單方面討論,因此易排除。C(2019徐州質(zhì)檢)Famous people have a lot of influence on cultural trends, like it or not. However, one trend that seems harmless but is actually damaging, is the pressure on stars to have their photos taken with exotic (奇異的) animals. Famous people who are asked to have photos taken with wild animals for a magazine spread or who do so while on vacation always have good intentions and even love animals. This makes them easy targets for the often greedy amusement parks and illegal animal centers. Kind people are naturally drawn to places that claim (聲稱) to offer exotic animals safety and are eager to see elephants paint, to hug baby bears or to swim with dolphins. However, it turns out that many of these business persons are breeders (飼養(yǎng)動物者), dealers or exhibitors that are using famous peoples goodwill for their own purposes.Many business persons continually keep the animals just so theyll have a constant supply of young animals in order to charge money for photos. Of course, the babies are lovely but they grow fast, and within a few weeks they are too big to handle. Theyll spend the rest of their lives, sometimes decades, in small and empty cages or even be killed.In some Asian countries, elephants are kept in camps. A few camps are working to help elephants in trouble, but the vast majority are not, and training methods are barbaric (野蠻的) and cruel. As soon as the cameras are gone after someone like Prince William has a photo taken with an elephant, the chains go back on.Fans, tell the stars: stay away from exotic animal photos, and the animals will be grateful.語篇解讀:本文是一篇議論文。文章列舉名人與奇異動物拍照這一現(xiàn)象可能帶來的后果,例如眾人爭相模仿,這會給飼養(yǎng)動物者帶來更多利潤,但會導(dǎo)致很多動物陷入困境。因此,作者呼吁明星們不要再與奇異動物拍照。6What does the author intend to do with this passage?ATo show how stars influence cultural trends.BTo urge governments to look into illegal animal centers.CTo persuade stars not to have photos taken with exotic animals.DTo remind people to think about how to treat wild animals kindly.解析:選C寫作意圖題。根據(jù)最后一段及上文的敘述可知,作者通過列舉名人與奇異動物合照這一行為給動物造成的危害來說服明星們停止這一行為。故選C。
