The building —the country’s largest commercial and shopping complex — uses less than 10% of the energy of a conventional building of its size. The Eastgate’s owners saved $3.5 million on a $36 million building because an air-conditioning plant didn’t have to be imported.The complex is actually two buildings linked by bridges across a shady, glass-roofed atrium (天井) open to the air. Fans suck fresh air in from the atrium, blow it upstairs through hollow spaces under the floors and from there into each office through baseboard vents (通风口). As it rises and warms, it is drawn out via ceiling vents and finally exists through forty-eight brick chimneys.During summer’s cool nights, big fans blow air throu-gh the building seven times an hour to cool the empty floors. By day, smaller fans blow two changes of air an hour through the building, to circulate the air which has been in contact with the cool floors. For winter days, there are small heaters in the vents.This is all possible only because Harare is 1,600 feet above sea level, has cloudless skies, little dampness and rapid temperature swings — days as warm as 31℃ commonly drop to 14℃ at night. “You couldn’t do this in New York, with its fantastically hot summers and fantastically cold winters，” Pearce said.The engineering firm of Ove Arup&Partners monitors daily temperatures. It is found that the temperature of the building has generally stayed between 23℃ and 25℃，with the exception of the annual hot period just before the summer rains in October and three days in November, when a doorkeeper accidentally switched off the fans at night. And the air is fresh — far more so than in air-conditioned buildings, where up to 30% of the air is recycled.1．Why was Eastgate cheaper to be built than a conventional building?A．It was designed in a smaller size.B．No air conditioners were fixed in.C．Its heating system was less advanced.D．It used rather different building materials.2．What does “it” refer to in Paragraph 3?A．Fresh air from outside. B．Heat in the building.C．Hollow space. D．Baseboard vent.3．Why would a building like Eastgate Not work efficiently in New York?A．New York has icss clear skies as Harare.B．Its dampness affects the circulation of air.C．New York covers a larger area than Harare.D．Its temperature changes seasonally rather than daily.4．The data in the last paragraph suggests Eastgate’s temperature control system__________.A．allows a wide range of temperaturesB．functions well for most of the yearC．can recycle up to 30% of the airD．works better in hot seasonsB(2018·厦门市适应性考试)We regularly hear how important consumer spending is for the economy. The story goes like this：the more consumers spend, the more money circulates in the economy, which contributes to healthy job growth and profits. Keynes, a British economist, went as far as to say that individuals saving their money may actually be hurting the economy. Sounds troubling, doesn’t it?Fear not. You aren’t actually hurting anyone else by saving money. Strong economic growth only comes from one place：savings. Not consumption. In fact, economic activity should not be mistaken for economic growth. For example, somebody takes their money, walks into a store, and purchases goods. The store increases its revenue.But what happens to all of those goods and services that people have chosen not to consume by saving their money？Simple：other people are allowed to consume them. Think of it this way：when you lend out your savings, you are actually saying, “Here, I am not going to consume right now, so why don’t you？”Banks simply play the middleman：they collect lots of people’s savings and then lend out lots of funds.It takes an unbelievable amount of goods and services to construct a building. It takes food, shelter, and entertainment for all of the workers, as well. Without savings, it is quite impossible to finance such a construction. The coordination (协调) between savings and consumption is a necessary basis for sound economic growth. This coordination is also why consumer lending (say, to borrow a big sum of money to buy a car) is not productive, in a strict sense. It doesn’t increase the net (净的) amount of wealth of an economy. Those savings could have been used to construct, say, factory equipment.None of this means consumption and spending are “bad”things. They simply do not make us wealthier. After all, the final goal of production and savings is to consume. But to say that consumption is the engine of economic growth is to put the cart before the horse. Or, to rephrase：the consumption of wealth can never make you wealthier. Happier, perhaps. Wealthier, no.5．What is the author’s attitude towards Keynes’theory?A．Approving. B．Reserved.C．Uncertain. D．Critical.6．The underlined word “revenue”in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to “________”．A．cost B．reputationC．interest D．income7．The author holds the view that ________.A．governments shall cut out banks as financial middlemanB．economic activity is equal to economic growthC．consumer lending is the engine of economic growthD．consumption is likely to lead to increased happiness8．According to the author, which chart could show the effect of savings on economy?答案Ⅰ.1.选B句意：对大自然的奇迹与伟大感到惊讶，我们像天真的孩子一样地又跳又叫。

课时作业24Ⅰ.阅读理解(2017·安徽省六安市第一中学月考)A new study shows students who write notes by hand during lectures perform better on exams than those who use laptops.Students are increasingly using laptops for note-taking because of speed and legibility(清晰度)．But the research has found laptop users are less able to remember and apply the concepts they have been taught.Researchers performed experiments that aimed to find out whether using a laptop increased the tendency to make notes“mindlessly”by taking down word for word what the professors said.In the first experiment，students were given either a laptop or pen and paper.They listened to the same lectures and were told to use their usual note-taking skills.Thirty minutes after the talk，they were examined on their ability to remember facts and on how well they understood concepts.The researchers found that laptop users took twice as many notes as those who wrote by hand.However，the typists performed worse at remembering and applying the concepts.Both groups scored similarly when it came to memorizing facts.The researchers' report said，“While more notes are beneficial，if the notes are taken mindlessly，as is more likely the case on a laptop，the benefit disappears. ”In another experiment aimed at testing long-term memory，students took notes as before but were tested a week after the lecture.This time，the students who wrote notes by hand performed significantly better onthe exam.These two experiments suggest that handwritten notes are not only better for immediate learning and understanding，but that they also lead to superior revision in the future.1．More and more students favor laptops for note-taking because they can ________.A．write more notesB．digest concepts betterC．get higher scoresD．understand lecture better2．While taking notes，laptop users tend to be ________.A．skillful B．tirelessC．thoughtful D．mindless3．The author of the passage aims to ________.A．examine the importance of long-term memoryB．stress the benefit of taking notes by handC．explain the process of taking notesD．promote the use of laptops4．The passage is likely to appear in ________.A．a finance reportB．a computer textbookC．a science magazineD．a newspaper advertisement答案与解析本文是一篇说明文。

This particular dress was black in color with white dots all over. It was beautiful and Sarah thought that it would make Julie look pretty with her hair tied up as a bun (圆发髻) and black-colored kitten heels (方锥矮跟鞋) to go with it.She expected Julie to give her one of the best hugs after seeing that dressbut she was greatly disappointed. Not only did Julie not like the dress but shealso gave a remark, “Mom, don’t you know I am not a baby anymore？” Sarah replied ，“Of course, you are not a baby and this dress will make you look so much mature.” But Julie just made a face and shut herself in her room, for that 13-year-old, her birthday party was ruined.After a few hours when Sarah agreed to go out for shopping with Julie, she was quite surprised at what Julie picked up. She wanted to buy a pink-colored pleated skirt (百褶裙) around 4 inches above her knees, an off-the-shoulder (露肩型) white-colored top along with a black waist length jacket which covered her arms only till her elbows. Sarah realized why Julie was so mad at her choice. Julie simply wished to be dressed like a grown-up and white dots made her look like a small girl. She was probably growing up and wanted to make a statement on her birthday party with a boldness (大胆) of a smart-looking young girl.There is nothing wrong with Julie. Kids are being surrounded by fashion icons everywhere in magazines, on television, on the Internet and in newspapers. They have started understanding what really makes sense when it comes to looking good and being kids they love to experiment; they love to try out different clothes so that they can choose their own styles.Girls’and boys’designer clothes provide sufficient variety not only at the stores but also at online stores, which is easier for parents to understand how their kids’choices are changing.

Loneliness is more than the feeling of wanting company or wanting to do something with another person. Someone who is lonely may find it hard to form human contact.Loneliness is not the same as being alone. Many people have times when they are alone through circumstances or choice. Being alone can be experienced as positive, pleasurable, and emotionally refreshing if it is under the individual’s control.According to the latest investigation by psychologists in the United States of America, most people feel lonely sometimes, but it usually only lasts between a few minutes and a few hours. This kind of loneliness is not serious. In fact, it is quite normal. For some people, though, loneliness can last for years. Now researchers say there are different types of loneliness.The first kind of loneliness is temporary. This is the most common type. It usually disappears quickly and does not require any special attention. The second kind, situational loneliness, is a natural result of a particular situation, for example, a family problem, the death of a loved one, moving to a new place. Although this kind of loneliness can cause physical problems, such as headaches and sleeplessness, it usually does not last for more than a year.The third kind of loneliness is the most severe. Unlike the second type, chronic loneliness usually lasts more than two years and has no specific cause. People who experience habitual loneliness have problems socializing and becoming close to others. Unfortunately, many chronically lonely people think there is little or nothing they can do to improve their condition.Psychologists agree that one important factor in loneliness is a person’s social contacts, such as friends, family members and co-workers. We depend on various people for different reasons. For instance, our families give us emotional support, our parents and teachers give us guidance, and our friends share similar interests with us. However, psychologists have found that, thoughlonely people may have many social contacts, they sometimes feel they should have more. They question their own popularity.Psychologists are trying to find ways to help habitually lonely people for two reasons: they are unhappy and unable to be socialized and there is a connection between chronic loneliness and serious illness such as heart disease. While temporary and situational loneliness can be a normal, healthy part of life, chronic loneliness can be a very sad, and sometimes dangerous condition.Title: Loneliness答案Ⅰ.语篇解读：本文是一篇夹叙夹议文，主要讲述了作者和叔叔一起去钓鱼而深受启发：做任何事情都不要高兴得太早，最终实现了才算是真正的成功。

A new study finds that these big-winged birdscarefully position their wingtips and flap (拍动) at the same rate, probably to catch the upward movement of air and save energy during flight.There are two reasons birds might fly in a V formation: It may makeflight easier, or they’re simply following the leader. Squadrons (中队) ofplanes can save fuel by flying in a V formation, and many scientistssuspect that migrating birds do the same. Models that treated flappingbirds like fixed-wing airplanes show that they probably save energy by drafting off each other, but currents created by airplanes are far more stable than those coming off of birds.Just as aerodynamic (气动力) calculations would predict, the birds positioned themselves to fly just behind and to the side of the bird in front, timing their wing flaps to catch the uplifting eddies (涡流). When a bird flew directly behind another, the timing of the flapping reversed (相反) so that it could minimize the effects of the downdraft coming off the back of the bird’s body.“We didn’t think this was possible，” Usherwood says, considering that the difficult achievement requires careful flight and incredible awareness of one’s neighbors. “Perhaps these big V formation birds can be thought of quite like an airplane with wings that go up and dow n.”]The findings likely apply to other long-winged birds, such as pelicans and geese, Usherwood says. Smaller birds create more complex wakes (尾波) that would make drafting too difficult.The researchers did not attempt to calculate the birds’energy savings because the necessary physiological measurements would be too invasive for an endangered species. Previous studies show that birds can use 20% to 30% less energy while flying in a V.Scientists do not know how the birds find that aerodynamic sweet spot, but they suspect that the animals line themselves up either by sight or by sensing air currents through their feathers. In future studies, the researchers will switch to more common birds, such as pigeons or geese. They plan to investigate how the animals decide who sets the course and the pace, and whether a mistake made by the leader can ripple through the rest of the flock to cause traffic jams.1．The author takes squadrons of planes for example to show ________.A．birds may save energy by flying in a V formationB．birds fly in a V formation for many more reasonsC．planes flying in a V formation follow the leaderD．planes flying in a V formation are more economical2．Why did Usherwood think it impossible for a bird to fly directly behind another?A．Because birds differ from airplanes in wings.B．Because birds know nothing about aerodynamics.C．Because birds could hardly create stable currents as planes.D．Because birds have to overcome great difficulties when flying.3．What is the scientists’attitude toward the findings mentioned in the passage?A．Cautious. B．Contradictory.C．Confident. D．Critical.4．What would the researchers do in their future studies about the birds?A．Calculate the birds’energy savings.B．Apply the findings to smallest birds.C．Find how the birds line themselves up.D．Do research on more common birds.Ⅲ.任务型阅读(2018·扬州中学高三英语摸底考试)In simple words, hibernation is a state of deep sleep. Hibernation differs from normal sleep in various ways. Hibernating animals take a long time to wake up from their sleep. Turning or kicking their bodies does not seem to wake them up. Even after waking up from hibernation, these animals take some time to restart their normal activities. During hibernation, the heart rate slows down and some of the non-vital organs become entirely inactive. This is a state in which the body uses very little energy.Winter is the time when food is less and weather is rough. Animals have to spend a lot of energy finding food. Even if they succeed in finding anything, it is often not enough to make up for the loss of energy. Besides, the cold weather may often become a cause of death. As a result of all these, animals have to rce their food demand by rcing energy requirements. This is achieved by hibernating throughout the winter.Before the onset of winter, when there is plenty of food, animals eat overmuch and store much of the food in the form of fat. As winter arrives, they return to their home where they spend the rest of winter hibernating. As animals hibernate, their body temperature starts dropping due to lack of activity and metabolism (新陈代谢). At one point, it is only a few degrees higher than the surrounding temperature. Whatever energy the body needs to perform certain tasks is got from the fat storage. Due to lack of activity, the fat burning process is slow and steady. The energy from fat is enough to keep the animal alive for the rest of the winter.Hibernation differs for every species. For example, some animals like black bears may sleep for the whole winter without waking up, while animals like squirrels may wake up every 4 days to eat some food, pass waste matter from the body, and then go back to sleep. Hibernation in domestic animals may differ from that in the wild ones. As there is no food shortage for domestic animals, domestic animals hibernate as a result of their natural instinct but with more active periods in between.Hibernation答案Ⅰ.语篇解读：这是一篇记叙文。

But if past summer openings are any indication, “Galaxy’s Edge” is expected to open in late June.The additions will be Disney’s (24) (big) “single-themed land expansion” ever, according to Disney CEO Bob Iger. Each will be an expansive 14 acres(英亩). A copy of the Millennium Falcon spaceship, (25) guests will be able to pilot, will be a key attraction.Galaxy’s Edge will immerse (使沉浸于) visitors in the Star Wars universe, (26) (transport) them to a never-before-seen Star Wars planet—a remote trading port largely ignored by warring people and one of the last stops before wild space. This planet is (27) Star Wars characters and their stories will come to life. It will feature two major attractions: (28) allowing guests to pilot the Millennium Falcon and the other dropping riders into the middle of a battle. The most advanced video techniques are expected to power each attraction.Even as Galaxy’s Edge (29) (approach), Disneyland is making changes, both large and small, inadvance. Recent projects have shifted queues for “Dumbo the Flying Elephant” and “It’s a Small World”. These are the efforts to improve traffic flows near the attractions. Similar changes have been made in Adventureland (30) (ease) congestion points. Work has started on a new luxury resort in Downtown Disney.

Just like Celine Dion sang back in 1997, the travel project will “go on and on.”Australian businessman and politician Clive Palmer, who is behind the 31 , announced in September that work on the ship had started again. The idea was first floated in 2012. It is said that the new ship will be a(n) 32 copy of the infamous ship, which sank in 1912 following a crash with an iceberg (冰山).To avoid a(n) 33 disaster, Titanic II will apparently be equipped with plenty of life boats, modern navigation (导航) and radar equipment. The first voyage, however, will take passengers from Dubai to New York, reports CruiseArabia, with the first sailing 34 to take place in 2022. Blue Star Line says the nine-decked ship will be home to 835 cabins, and 2,435 passengers will be 35 . You’ll be able to buy first-, second- and third-class tickets—just like in the original.Meanwhile tourists with plenty of money might soon have the chance to dive to the 36 of the original Titanic. American company OceanGate has planned diving trips for 2019, costing $105,129 per person.Of course, the original Titanic voyage ended in 37 , with over 1,500 people losing their lives. For many, voyages to the original ship are in bad taste. Steve Sims, founder of The Bluefish, said earlier in 2018 that he doesn’t see diving to the original one as 38 .Realistically, it’s 39 whether Titanic II will ever see the light of day—or whether the diving tours will happen soon. But one thing is for certain, more than 100 years after the Titanic’s first and only voyage, global interest in this ship shows no 40 of slowing down.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Lying in a Foreign Language Is EasierMost people don’t find it more difficult to lie in a foreign language than in their native tongue. However, things are different when telling the truth: This is clearly more difficult for many people in a foreign language than in their native one.This 41 conclusion is the result of a study conducted by two psychologists from the University of Würzburg: Kristina Suchotzki and Matthias Gamer. The two scientists presented their 42 in Journal of Experimental Psychology.Their findings could be important for a lot of processes in which the trustworthiness of certain people must be 43 . In such situations, reports by non-native speakers tend to be considered as less 44 even though they may be truthful. Their discovery also explains another 45 , namely that people communicating in a foreign language are generally considered as less trustworthy.There are two research 46 to predict differences between deception and truth telling in a native compared to a second language.Research from cognitive (认知的)load theory suggests that lying is more difficult in a foreign language. “Compared to truth telling, lying is a cognitively more 47 task,” Kristina Suchotzki explains. Adding a foreign language imposes an additional cognitive 48 which makes lying even more difficult.Lying is easier in a foreign language: This should be true according to the emotional distance hypothesis (假设). This assumption is based on the fact that lying is 49 more emotions than staying with the truth. Liars have higher stress levels and are more tense. Research shows that compared to speaking in a native language, communicating in a second language is less 50arousing. Accordingly, this 51 emotional arousal would promote lying.To settle this question, the Würzburg psychologists conducted a number of experiments in which up to 50 test persons had to complete specific tasks. They were asked to answer a number of questions—sometimes 52 and sometimes deceptively both in their native language and in a foreign language. Some questions were 53 ; other questions were clearly emotional.The results show that it usually takes longer to answer emotional questions. Answers in the foreign language also take longer. And generally, it takes longer to tell a lie than to tell the truth. However, the time differences between deceptive and truthful answers are less 54 in a second language than in the native language.The data suggest that the increased cognitive effort is responsible for the prolongation (延长) of the truth 55 in the foreign language. The reason why this prolongation almost does not exist in lying can be explained with the emotional distance hypothesis: The greater emotional distance in a foreign language thus “cancels out” the higher cognitive load when lying.41.

Along the way, he created a new type of journalism and coined phrases that became part of the American vocabulary.Wolfe began working as a newspaper reporter, first for The Washington Post, then the New York Herald Tribune. He developed a literary style in nonfiction that became known as the “New Journalism.” “I’ve always agreed on a theoretical level that the techniques for fiction and nonfiction are interchangeable,” he said. “The things that work in nonfiction would work in fiction, and vice versa.”“When Tom Wolfe’s voice broke into the world of nonfiction, it was a time when a lot of writers, and a lot of artists in general, were turning inwards,” says Lev Grossman, book critic for Time magazine. “Wolfe didn’t do that. Wolfe turned outwards. He was a guy who was interested in other people.” Wolfe was interested in how they thought, how they did things and how the things they did affected the world around them.In 1979, Wolfe published The Right Stuff, an account of the military test pilots who became America’s first astronauts. Four years later, the book was adapted as a feature film. “The Right Stuff was the book for me,” says Grossman. “It reminded me, in case I’d forgotten, that the world is an incredible place.”In The Right Stuff, Wolfe popularized the phrase “pushing the envelope.” In a New York magazine article, Wolfe described the 1970s as “The ‘Me’ Decade.” Grossman says these phrases became part of the American idiom because they were accurate.“He was an enormously forceful observer, and he was not afraid of making strong claims about what was happening in reality,” Grossman says. “He did it well and people heard him. And they repeated what he said because he was right.” All those words started a revolution in nonfiction that is still going on.56. The “New Journalism” is a style of journalism that .A. changes its news writing techniques frequentlyB. popularizes new American idioms in a literary wayC. combines novelistic techniques with traditional reportingD. reports various news events from a theoretical perspective57. It can be learned from the passage that The Right Stuff.A. is a film directed by Lev GrossmanB. is an influential book by Tom WolfeC. accounts for popular American phrasesD. deals with incredible places in the world58. According to the passage, Tom Wolfe .A. was good at reporting news from a realistic perspectiveB. preferred making claims about events to writing booksC. was fond of commenting on other people’s thoughtsD. liked analyzing social problems from the outside59. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. Tom Wolfe: A Professional Phrase CoinerB. Tom Wolfe: A Forceful Observer and NovelistC. Tom Wolfe: A Theoretical Creator in LiteratureD. Tom Wolfe: An Innovative Journalist and Writer（B）Important facts about ELIQUIS® (apixaban)This is a summary of important information that you need to know about ELIQUIS. Keep this document in a safe place, so you can refer to it before and duringyour treatment.Look out for the followingsigns as you read:.A. drugstoresB. patientsC. pregnant womenD. healthcare teams61.

What can be inferred about ELIQUIS from the facts?A. It can be harmful to babies.B. It can’t be taken with any other medicines.C. It shouldn’t be taken after a surgery.D. It may increase the risk of having dental problems.（C）The Earth is facing a climate crisis, but it’s also getting greener and leafier. According to new research, the rise is largely due to China and India.A study by National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), based on extensive satellite photographs and published in the journal Nature Sustainability, has revealed that the two countries with the world’s biggest populations are also responsible for the largest increase in greenness.Since 2000, the planet’s green leaf area has increased by 5 percent, or over 2 million square miles. That’s an area equivalent to the sum total of the Amazon rainforests, NASA says. But researchers stressed that the new greenery does not neutralize deforestation and its negative impacts on ecosystems elsewhere.A third of the leaf increase is thanks to China and India, due to the implementation of major tree-planting projects alongside a vast increase in agriculture.Using the data from a NASA sensor, researchers discovered that China is the source of a quarter of the increase in green leaf area, despite possessing only 6.6 percent of the world’s vegetated area (植被区). Forests account for 42 percent of that increase, while croplands make up a further 32 percent. China’s increase in forest area is the result of forest preservation and expansion programs, NASA said, established to fight against the impacts of climate change, air pollution and soil erosion (水土流失). India has contributed a further 6.8 percent rise in green leaf area, with 82 percent from croplands and 4.4 percent from forests.Rama Nemani, a co-author of the study and a researcher at NASA’s Ames Research Center, said in a statement, “When the greening of the Earth was first observed, we thought it was due to a warmer, wetter climate and fertilization from the added carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, leading to more leaf growth in northern forests, for instance.” “Now, with the data that lets us understand the phenomenon at really small scales, we see that humans are also contributing,” Nemani said. “This will help scientists make better predictions about the behavior of different Earth systems, which will help countries make better decisions about how and when to take action.”Thomas Pugh, a professor at the University of Birmingham’s School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences, said the NASA report expands scientists’ understanding of the causes behind global greening. But he also cautioned that a direct line cannot be drawn between an increase in global greening and a decrease in negative impacts of climate change.63. The passage mainly tells us that .A. China and India have the world’s largest green leaf areasB. China and India are the lead role players in global greeningC. our planet is experiencing a climate crisis despite human effortsD. our planet is getting greener due to the joint efforts of the world64. What can be learned about China and India?A. The area of croplands in India is larger than that in China.B. India’s rise in leaf area is largely due to its forestry program.C. They both show a greater increase in forests than in croplands.D. China boasts twenty-five percent of the global rise in leaf area.65. According to Rama Nemani, their new findings are .A. unexpected but significantB. surprising but valuelessC. predictable but disappointingD. uncontrollable but inspiring66. What can be inferred from the passage?A. There is an indirect link between global greening and climate change.B. The new greenery does not have any positive effect on the global climate.C. The gain in greenness does not make up for the damage from loss of leaf area.D. The increase in greening reduces the deforestation rate and its impact globally.Section CDirections: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A.Some negative experiences on social media can and do affect some children.B.However, some experts question claims that too much screen time is harmful.C.He wanted to see if there was a similar effect among young people in the United States.D.So, it is natural that parents should wonder about all the time children spend looking at ascreen.E.The researchers found no increase in risky sex or driving behaviors, use of illegal substancesor eating disorders.F.The researchers suggested that for those children, technology use might get in the way oftaking part in other important activities.Screen Time: How Much Is Too Much?Many children spend a lot of time watching or playing with electronic media—from televisions to video games, computers and other devices. 67 Perhaps parents now should ease up on their concerns about screen time, at least for older boys and girls.Until last year, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) suggested that children and teenagers have no more than two hours of screen time a day. It also suggests that parents balance a child’s screen time with other activities.68 Christopher Ferguson, who teaches psychology at Stetson University in Florida, notes a lack of evidence supporting reports that too many hours spent playing video games or watching TV is truly harmful.Ferguson seems interested in one idea: the link between video games and violent or risky behavior. When he saw results from a recent British survey on screen time, he wanted to know more. The British study found a small negative effect—about a one percent increase—in aggression and depression among children who had six or more hours of screen time a day. 69 So, Ferguson and his team examined answers from a survey on risky behaviors. The study involved about 6,000 boys and girls in Florida, whose average age was 16.Data from this survey found that American children are also fairly resistant to the negative effects of electronic media. Among those who used screens up to six hours a day, the survey found: a 0.5 percent increase in criminal behavior; a 1.7 percent increase in signs of depression; and a 1.2 percent negative effect on school grades.70 To further argue his point that screen time is not harmful, Ferguson adds that children should become familiar with screen technology. Electronic devices, he says, are a part of our everyday lives.IV. Summary WritingDirections: Read the following passage.

Fujian Puppetry (木偶剧) in Need of Urgent SafeguardingAs one of the contributions of Chinese performing art to the world’s cultural heritage(遗产), Fujian puppetry has a long history. It has developed a set of characteristic techniques of performance and puppet making, as well as plays and music.No final conclusions have yet been reached on the origins and evolution of Chinese puppetry. Dating from Shang dynasty, pottery figurines (陶俑) used as burial objects have been discovered at the Yin Ruins. In a Western Han tomb at Mawangdui in Changsha, Hunan Province, a number of wooden figurines have been unearthed. These were a great improvement on those from previous dynasties in terms of craftsmanship, variety and modeling. Over time, figurines as burial objects evolved into puppets for entertainment on festive occasions.Chinese puppetry further developed during the Ming and Qing dynasties, with a bunch of schools spreading across the country. Puppet shows from various places had their own characteristics in terms of figure modeling.In the past few decades, many traditional forms of art have seen a decline in popularity. In particular, Fujian puppetry finds itself in hot water. The number of young people learning puppetry has decreased due to socioeconomic changes to their lifestyles. The long period of training required to master the complicatedperforming techniques has also been a factor in the fall.In response, concerned communities, groups and bearers laid down the 2008-2020 Strategy for the Training of Coming Generations of Fujian Puppetry Practitioners. The key objectives are to safeguard the promotion of Fujian Puppetry and to increase its sustainability through professional training to cultivate a new generation of puppetry practitioners; creation of teaching materials; construction of training institutes and exhibition halls; regional and international cooperation; and artistic exchange.In 2012, the strategy was added to the Register of Good Safeguarding Practices by the UNESCO. With great efforts made by practitioners, local people and education institutions, Fujian Puppetry can expect a brighter future.V.

For hundreds of years, China kept the secret of silk to itselfas one for the most closely protected secrets in history. Anyone revealing the secret of silkworms or trying to take silkworm eggs out of ancient China was punished by death.At one time silk was reserved only for the Chinese emperor. Gradually, others began wearing silk. In addition to being used for clothing, silk came to have industrial uses in ancient China, something that happened in the West only in modern times. Silk was used to make musical instruments, fishing lines, weapons, ropes and even paper. During the Han Dynasty silk became a form of money. Farmers paid taxes in both rice and silk. The prices of goods were calculated in lengths of silk just as they had once been calculated in gold. The importance of silk is even reflected in the Chinese language. For example, of the 5,000 most common Chinese characters, around 500 have silk as their “key”．In spite of their secrecy, the Chinese eventually lost their monopoly on silk production. It reached Korea in around 200 B. C. when immigrants from China arrived there. Silk production came to India in 300 A. D. It was not until 500 A. D. that silk production came to Europe when travellers smuggled_out silkworms in hollow tubes of bamboo. These were used to establish silk industry in Rome (modern-day Italy), although Chinese silk was still considered to be the best.Silk was brought to Rome from China by means of the Silk Road. There were actually two Silk Roads, one over land and one on the sea. The land route in particular had a huge effect in history. All sorts of trade goods — silver, gold, jade, porcelain — passed along this road. Ideas travelled the Silk Road too. For example, the religion of Buddhism was carried to China from India by traders on the Silk Road. The Silk Road created the first international culture, exposing many people to the ideas and treasures of both Western and Chinese cultures.1．How was China able to keep the secret of silk production?A．It refused to sell its silk to other countries.B．Foreigners were not permitted to enter China.C．The silkworms needed were not able to survive outside China.D．Chinese passing on the secret to foreigners were seriously punished.2．Which of the following uses of silk is NOT mentioned in the passage?A．A way of purchasing goods people sold.B．A material used for making different products.C．A method of paying money to the government.D．A valuable gift given to foreigners travelling in China.3．In what order did silk production spread throughout the world according to the passage?A．Europe→India→Korea→China.B．China→Korea→India→Europe.C．China→India→Korea→Europe.D．China→Europe→India→Korea.4．The underlined phrase “smuggled out”in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to “________”．A．quietly traded B．openly removedC．illegally transported D．violently stole5．Which of the following is TRUE about the Silk Road?A．It allowed for economic and cultural exchanges between countries.B．It made China the most powerful country in the ancient world.C．It could only be completed by travellers with access to a boat.D．It was first developed for transferring religious ideas.B(2018·南通第三次调研)Trying to recover from a devastating economic crisis, Spain is considering moving the country’s clock back by one hour.Many people regard long afternoon naps and late dinners as perfect aspects ofthe Spanish way of life. Until the 1940s, Spain was on the same time as Britain and Portugal. In World War Ⅱ，Spain and Portugal moved the clocks forward to alignthem with Nazi Germany. The same happened in Portugal. After the defeat ofHitler, Portugal returned to Greenwich Mean Time, but Spain did not.“The fact that for more than 71 years Spain has not been in its proper time zone means we sleep almost an hour less than the World Health Organization recommends，” lawmakers in the Spanish Parliament wrote in a proposal. “This has a negative effect on productivity, absenteeism，stress, accidents and school drop-out rates.”Last September, a parliamentary commission recommended that the government turn back the clocks by one hour and introduce a regular eight-hour workday. For the time being, the Spanish government is treating the campaign seriously but it hasn’t taken any action yet.Spain’s time zone issue explains why everything in Spain happens later, from meal times to broadcast entertainment (primetime doesn’t start until 10 pm)．Many urban Spaniards complain of a never-ending workday that begins in the morning but is interrupted by a traditional late-morning break and then again by the midday siesta — a two-hour long lunch and nap that usually start at 2 pm. If workers return to their desks at 4 pm, they end up working late into the evening.Under the proposed new schle, the lunchtime break would be cut to an hour or less. The interruption-filled Spanish workday would be replaced by something closer to a 9-to-5 schle.Ignacio Buqueras, president of the Association for the Rationalization of Spanish Working Hours，told The Ne w York Times that changing the Spanish schle would be good news for working mothers. It would also allow families more free time together and boost Spain’s economic recovery.Maria Angles Duran, a sociologist with the Spanish National Research Council, is skepticalthat changing the time zone will reverse low productivity, which she attributes more to the structure of the service-oriented economy. But she agreed that a more normal work schle would help women, who often complain that their husbands deliberately schle meetings in the early evening.“For men, this is perfect，” Duran said，“They arrive home and the children have already had their baths! Timetables can be used as a sort of weapon. ”6．Spain is thinking about changing the current time system because ________.A．Spain is eager to improve its economic competitivenessB．it is urgent to increase sleeping hours for SpaniardsC．Spanish schools suffer from high drop-out ratesD．71 years has passed since Spain was ruled by Nazi7．We can learn from the passage that ________.A．an eight-hour workday is soon to be put into practice in SpainB．people are used to working late into the evening in SpainC．heavy workloads require a two-hour nap for working peopleD．the current workday pattern does not win much favor among city workers8．According to the passage, Duran may agree with the following except that ________.A．the new schle will allow families more free timeB．women will probably benefit from the new schleC．economic structure influences economic performanceD．men can escape housework in the existing schle9．Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A．Lifestyle changes in SpainB．Time for Spain to turn backC．Spain’s time zone issuesD．Spain’s work hour regulation答案Ⅰ.1.选B句意：到七月底，在过去的一年里，房价上涨了12.4%，彻底毁了他想买一个更舒服一点的房子的计划。
