12．The aged man oocupied a quality position in the morning market and began to sell eggs．

分析 這位年邁的老人在早市上占了一個(gè)有力的位置開始賣雞蛋．

解答 答案：occupied．
分析句子的結(jié)構(gòu)可知，and連接的兩個(gè)謂語動(dòng)詞應(yīng)該是一致的，began為動(dòng)詞的過去時(shí)，所以前面的空所填的動(dòng)詞也應(yīng)該是過去時(shí)；根據(jù)句意可知答案為occupied．

點(diǎn)評(píng) 首字母填空題考查的是詞匯的記憶和運(yùn)用能力，平時(shí)要注意積累和運(yùn)用．同時(shí)還要注意提示字母．

11．It is generally believed that money can't buy happiness．However，that may not be always true．According to a recent article，in the last few years，new research has given us a far deeper understanding of the relationship between what we earn and how we feel．Broadly speaking，people with higher incomes are happier than those who struggle to get by．But it also shows you need to spend wisely if you expect those bank notes to put a smile on your face．（36）B
1．Buy experiences，not material goods．
In a recently published study，Professor Ryan at San Francisco State University in the US，found that when people don't have much money to spare，they tend to stick to material goods．（37）EBut they actually provide both more happiness and more lasting value．
2．（38）F
No matter how much money you spend on something and how special that product is，you will get used to having it over time and lose interest in it．With the same money you spend on one big object，you can buy many little things．Buying small things means you can get frequent small pleasures．
3．Be sure to buy time．
（39）GFor example，that big house in the suburbs may seem like a good idea，but a 2014 study by researchers from University of Zurich in Switzerland found that people with longer time on the way reported lower life satisfaction，all other things being equal．
4．Try giving it away．
Elizabeth Dunn，professor at the University of British Columbia in Canada，found that in nations as diverse as Canada，South Africa and Uganda，giving away money consistently made people happier．（40）C

A．Be sure to buy what you like．
B．Here are some ways to better spend your money．
C．This was even true when people giving away were relatively poor．
D．There are a lot of reasons someone might buy something．
E．People think experiences only provide temporary happiness．
F．Buy lots of little things，rather than one big thing．
G．Consider how the things you buy will affect how you spend your time．

9．Along the river banks ofthe Amazon and the Orinocothere lives a bird that swims before it can fly，flies like afatchicken，eatsgreen leave，has the stomach of a cow and has claws on its wings when young．They build their homes about 4.6m above the river，an important feature for the safety of the young．It is called thehoatzin．
In appearance，thebirds of bothsexes  look very much alike with brown on the back and cream and red ontheunderside．The head is small，with a large set of feathers on the top，bright red eyes，and blue skin．Its nearest relatives are the common birds，cuckoos．Its most striking feature，though，is only found in the young．
Baby hoatzins have a claw on the leading edge of each wing and another at the end of each wing tip．Using these four claws，together with the beak（喙），they can climb about in the bushes，looking very much like primitive birds must have done．When the young hoatzins have learned to fly，they lose their claws．
During the drier months between December and March hoatzins fly about the forest in groups of 20 to 30 birds，but in April，when the rainy season begins，they collect together in smaller living units of two to seven birds for producing purposes．

21．What is the text mainly about？D
A．Hoatzins in dry and rainy seasons．

A．They had claws to help them climb．
B．They could fly long distances．
C．They had four wings like hoatzins．
D．They had a head with long feathers on the top．
24．Why do hoatzins collect together in smaller groups when the rainy season comes？D
A．To find more food．
B．To protect themselves better．
C．To keep themselves warm．
D．To produce their young．

7．Culture Shock
Culture shock refers to the anxiety and feelings （of surprise，uncertainty，confusion，etc．） felt when people have to operate within a different and unknown cultural or social environment，such as a foreign country．
Generally speaking，we could say that there are four stages of culture shock．The first stage is called"the honeymoon"．In this stage，you are excited about living in a different place．（36）G
The next stage is"the hostility（敵意）stage"．In this stage，you begin to notice not everything is as good as you originally thought it was．（37）DMoreover，people don't treat you like a guest anymore．
Then you come to the third stage called"recovery"．In this stage，you start to feel more positive．（38）BThe whole situation starts to become more favorable and you begin to learn to adapt yourself to it．
The last stage of culture shock is called"adjustment"．In this stage，you have reached a point where you actually feel good．（39）EThe things that originally made you feel uncomfortable or strange are now things that you understand．Now you have adjusted to the new culture and you feel comfortable．
Not all individuals visiting another country will experience all these four stages．
（40）CIt also occurs within cultures as individuals move from place to place or from one setting to another （e．g．，from high school to college）．

A．You feel that friends should help each other to deal with culture shock．
B．And you try to develop comprehension of everything you don't understand．
C．In addition，culture shock is not limited to the overseas visitor．
D．You become tired of many things about the new culture．
E．You have learned enough to understand the new culture．
F．You begin to understand you need to travel a lot．
G．And everything seems to be marvelous and everybody seems to be so nice to you．

17．Last year I ruined my summer vacation by bringing along a modern convenience that was too convenient for my own good：the iPad．Instead of looking at nature，I checked my e-mail．Instead of paddling a small boat，I followed my Twitter feed（推特簡訊）．Instead of reading great novels，I stuck to reading four newspapers each morning．I was behaving as if I were still in the office．My body was on vacation，but my head wasn't．
So this year I made up my mind to try something different：withdrawal（退出）from the Internet．I knew it wouldn't be easy，since I'm bad at self-control．But I was determined．I started by giving the iPad to my wife．
The cellphone signal at our house was worse than in the past，making my attempts at cheating an experience in frustration （沮喪）．I was trapped，forced to go through with my plan．Largely cut off from e-mail，Twitter and my favorite newspaper websites，I had few ways to connect to the world except for the radio-and how much radio can one listen to，really？I had to do what I had planned to do all along：read books．
This experience has had a happy ending．With determination and the strong support of my wife，I won in my vacation struggle against the Internet，realizing finally that it was I，not the iPad，that was the problem．I knew I had won when we passed a Starbucks and my wife asked if I wanted to stop to use the Wi-Fi．"I don't need it，"I said．
However，as we return to post-vacation life，a harder test begins：Can I continue when I'm back at work？
There are times when the need to know what's being said right now is great．I have no intention of giving up my convenience completely．But I hope to resist the temptation （誘惑）to check my e-mail every five minutes，which leads to checking my Twitter feed and a website or two
I think a vacation is supposed to help you reset your brain to become more productive．Here I hope this one worked．

24．What do we know about the author's last summer vacation？D
A．He was determined to enjoy the beautiful view．
B．His iPad ruined his plan of finishing a great novel．
C．He felt satisfied that he had stuck to his usual timetable．
D．He hated himself for acting as if he were working on vacation．
25．What did the author do to keep away from the Internet this year？A
A．He handed his iPad to his wife．
B．He cut off his cellphone signal．
C．He refused to cheat in his house．
D．He listened to the radio most of the time．
26．When back at work，the author will probably choose toC．
A．stay away from the Internet for ever          
B．continue to read more and more books
C．keep control of when and how to use the Internet
D．stop checking what is being said right now completely
27．What is the author's opinion of a great vacation in the passage？D
A．A vacation is having nothing to do but read all day．
B．A vacation proves that a life of pleasure is overvalued．
C．A vacation is a period of time to do whatever one wishes to．
D．A vacation means a change of pace to make one more creative．

2．"Eat local．"It's one way to reduce human effect on the planet．Eating local means to try to buy and consume（消耗） foods that are grown in places close to home．However，most of the food sold at supermarkets is not locally grown or produced．Trucks and planes deliver these foods from hundreds or thousands of miles away．During the transportation，greenhouse gases are produced，causing global warming．So the shorter the distance your foods must travel，the less the harm is done to the environment．
But how do you get local food if you live in a large city，hundreds of miles away from farms？Environmental health scientist Dickson Despommier and his students came up with the idea of a"vertical（垂直的） farm"．
A vertical farm is a glasswalled structure that could be built as tall as a skyscraper（摩天大樓）．Since the garden is built upwards，rather than outwards，it requires much less space than an ordinary farm．The world is quickly running out of room for ordinary farming．Vertical farms could be a key to this situation．Despommier imagines a 30story building with a greenhouse on every floor．The walls of the building would be clear，to allow crops to get as much sunlight as possible．Depending on a city's water resources，Despommier thinks hydroponic（水培） farming is another method for the vertical farm which needs no soil to grow plants．
Despommier says the hydroponic greenhouses would use a system that would use a city's waste water and fill it with nutrition to make the crops grow．If this method works，it would provide food to a city and save millions of tons of water．
The idea of a vertical farm has attracted the attention of government officials around the world．Scott Stringer，a government official from New York City，thinks the city is suitable for the vertical farming．"Obviously we don't have much land left for us，"Stringer said，"But the sky is the limit in Manhattan．"
Despommier admits that there is still a lot of work to do to make vertical farms a reality．"But I think vertical farming is an idea that can work in a big way．"he says．
8．Why are people advised to eat local？C
A．Because it means convenience to people．
B．Because it can help people save a lot of money．
C．Because it is environmentally friendly．
D．Because local food has more nutrition．
9．Which is one of the vertical farm's benefits when compared with ordinary farming？B
A．It produces healthier food．
B．It needs less space of the city．
C．It consumes more energy of the city．
D．It does less harm to the cities．
10．From Stringer'words we can conclude thatD．
A．Manhattan has a great potential（潛力） for development
B．there is a limit for using empty land in Manhattan
C．the height of buildings in Manhattan is limited
D．people can make full use of vertical space of Manhattan
11．What can we infer about the vertical farming in the passage？B
A．It has solved the problem of the food shortage in a big way．
B．In a vertical farm，soil may not be needed to grow plants．
C．It is a 30story building with a greenhouse on every floor．
D．Crops are mainly grown in the rainwater in a vertical farm．
