But the seven cabins at Sweden’s Treehotel could easily give The Swiss Family Robinson a run for its money. To begin with, the outside is extraordinary: one resembles a UFO, another resembles a bird’s nest, and the bottom of the latest cabin — named the 7th Room — features a life –size photograph of the canopy（天蓬似的树荫）view. Inside, the cabins are equipped with fashionable, minimalist furniture and comfortable lounge areas. Although some guests may have to travel to a separate facility to shower, fans argue that that’s a small sacrifice to make for a one-of-a-kind camping experience.‎ ‎ An ancient forest reborn —‎ ‎ AMANYANGYUN, SHANGHAI ‎ When Chinese businessman Ma Dadong discovered that a forest of ancient camphor trees would be destroyed in China’s Jiangxi Province, he undertook a mission to relocate thousands of them to the outskirts of Shanghai — 700 km away — where they now surround 24 Ming Dynasty style suites and several villas (别墅) at Amanyangyun, which opened in January, 2018. It also nods to the past, making use of recycled wood and brick from centuries –old homes. Facilities include a club lounge, indoor and outdoor swimming pools, a spa and a variety of luxurious dining spaces, including a 200 – seat banquet hall. Calligraphy lessons and tea ceremonies are available to help guests feel part of “this monumental story”.‎ ‎21. What does the author say about the Treehotel?‎ A. It is a seven-story building. B. It has an in-built shower.‎ C. It has unique design features. D. It is expensively decorated inside.‎ ‎22. What can guests do in Amanyangyun?‎ A. Attend a fitness class. B. Pick tea leaves themselves.‎ C. Learn the history of the Ming Dynasty. D. Admire ancient Chinese architecture.‎ ‎23. From which is the text probably taken?‎ A. An exhibition review B. A travel website.‎ C. A hotel comment. D. An official report. ‎ B ‎“That’s funny! These fellows in the middle of the plate have died，” Dr Alexander Fleming was talking to another doctor in a laboratory in London.He had been studying some germs (细菌)that he was growing on a plate.They were very dangerous germs because they caused different kinds of illnesses that could kill people.Dr Fleming found that a mould (霉菌) had floated in through the window landing on the plate.It had killed some of the germs it had touched.‎ ‎“This certainly looks promising，” Fleming said.“We must grow some of this mould to see if it will kill other germs.”‎ He named the strange mould “penicillin”．It proved to be a killer of many germs.Fifty mice were given deadly germs and then half of them were injected (注射) with penicillin.The twentyfive untreated mice died，but twentyfour of those that had been treated with penicillin lived.Dr Fleming wrote a report about what he had found out.Hardly anybody took any notice of it.‎ In 1938 Dr Howard Florey，an Australian working in London, read Dr Fleming’s report and was very interested.He found that penicillin was effective in treating blood poisoning in human beings.‎ When World War II broke out，it was not possible to make enough penicillin in England.Dr Florey went to America where he helped to have enormous amounts of this wonderful drug made.It saved the lives of thousands of soldiers，sailors and airmen who would have died from their wounds if the hospitals had not had penicillin.‎ ‎24．Dr Alexander Fleming ______.‎ A．had been studying a mould which was very dangerous and could kill people B．had been studying some of the germs on a plate which could cure illnesses C．had been making experiments on some germs that he was growing on a plate D．had been making experiments on different germs that could help sick people to get better ‎25．The reason why the twentyfive mice died was that _______.‎ A．they had been given deadly germs and had been injected with penicillin B．they were almost dead ahead of the experiment C．they were easy to die in the experiment D．they had been given deadly germs and had not been injected with penicillin ‎26．In 1938，an Australian working in London named Howard Florey read Dr Fleming’s report and _______.‎ A．left England for America，making the drug B．went to America to save the lives of thousands of soldiers，sailors and airmen C．found penicillin effective in treating blood poisoning in human beings D．went to America to make this drug for mice ‎27．The underlined word “enormous” means“ ____ ”．‎ A．rest B．huge C．little D．Appropriate ‎ C ‎ Like you and your pet dog，plants are living things: they eat, drink, and grow.Unlike you and your dog，they can't run away, use fists or teeth, or hide under the covers when they' re threatened. But they can fight back.‎ Why would a plant need to fight back? To avoid being eaten, of course! Plants have several ways of protecting themselves. A plant can grow in a hidden or hard-to-get-to place.Think of plants you' ve seen growing on steep, rocky cliffs(悬崖). Or, a plant could make only some parts of itself attractive to hungry insects and animals. For instance, if a plant produced really tasty leaves, herbivores ( creatures that eat only plants) might eat the leaves instead of the seeds, which the plant needs for making more plants. Some plants have sharp or slippery(滑的) parts that discourage insects and other animals from getting too close, like the thorns(刺) on a rosebush.‎ But the most interesting way that plants fight back is by using chemicals. Plants take minerals from the soil and combine them into chemicals that do a lot of work. For example, plants produce chlorophyll(叶绿素)，which helps convert sunshine and water into the sugars that plants eat.‎ They also produce chemicals to help protect themselves. One kind of tobacco plants releases a chemical into the air whenever small bugs begin to eat it. The chemical signals large bugs, saying“Dinner 's ready!" The big bugs come to eat the little ones and save the plant.Most plants use chemicals in a more direct way against their enemies. In other words, plants make poison.‎ ‎28. What does the underlined word "convert” mean?‎ A.Change B. Separate C. Form D. Produce ‎29. What do we know from the passage?‎ A. Some plants hide under the covers when faced with threat .‎ B. A plant grows in a hard-to-get-to place to draw people 's attention.‎ C. Some plants produce tasty leaves to protect their seeds.‎ D. Plants produce chemicals to meet the needs of big bugs.‎ ‎30. What may be talked about following the last paragraph?‎ A. Different effects that different plant poisons cause on plant eaters.‎ B. Different kinds of plants in the world.‎ C. Why plants make poison.‎ D. How to protect plants.‎ ‎31. What would be the best title for the passage?‎ A. Plant information B. Plant enemies ‎ C. Plant poisons D. Plant self- protection D When we look at a lovely baby, a puppy or a really cute kitten, many of us want to squeeze (轻轻地捏) it. Why is that?‎ According to a study published in the journal Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, it’s a typical experience of “cute aggression”. The experience results from the fight between the brain’s “emotion system”, which impels (驱使) people to squeeze cute things, and its “reward system” which deals with feelings of “wanting”.‎ In the study, 54 participants between the ages of 18 and 40 were presented with four groups of photos.Two of the groups of photos were of cute human babies and animals and the other two were of less adorable adult humans and animals. As the participants looked at the photos, the researchers watched their brain activities.‎ ‎  According to the researchers, the participants reward systems were found to be active as they looked at the cute babies, and they seemed to be overwhelmed (征服的). By contrast, the reward systems of the people looking at the less cute adults were found to be inactive, and they seemed to be less impelled by their reward systems.This suggests that cute things activate their emotion systems in such a way that people are overwhelmed by the experience of cuteness.‎ ‎ But reward systems work against these emotions by creating the desire to protect cute things.‎ As Katherine Stavropoulos, the lead researcher of this study at the University of California in the US told Science Alert, “The cute aggression is the brain’s way of ‘bringing us back down’ by balancing our feelings of being overwhelmed.”Stavropoulos compared this process of balancig to an evolutionary adaptation. Such an adaptation may have taken place to ensure that people are able to continue taking care of creatures they consider particularly cute. ‎ ‎  So, although cute babies and adorable animals may look completely helpless, their vulnerable (易受伤害的) appearance may in fact help them to survive.‎ ‎32. According to the text, “cute aggression” refers to _______.‎ A. the emotion of wanting to protect cute things B. the task of emotion system and reward system C. the adaptation of consistently taking care of cute creatures D. the behavior of squeezing a cute baby or animal when seeing it ‎33. In nature, “cute aggression” is caused by _______.‎ A. the need of the brain to balance all feelings B. the photos of cute human babies and animals C. the vulnerable appearance of babies or animals D. the conflict between emotion system and reward system ‎34. Which of the following statements about the study is TRUE?‎ A. Facial expressions of the participants were observed.‎ B. Katherine Stavropoulos conducted this study on her own.‎ C. Cute babies and animals affected brain activities of all the participants.‎ D. The participants were divided into two groups in order to make comparison.‎ ‎35. What is the author’s purpose in writing this text?‎ A. To persuade readers to protect cute animals.‎ B.To present research findings on cute aggression.‎ C. To stress the significance of cute aggression.‎ D. To share an interesting phenomenon with readers. ‎ 第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Doctors say anger can be an extremely damaging emotion, unless you learn how to deal with it. They warn that anger can lead to heart disease, stomach problems, headaches, emotional problems and possibly cancer.‎ ‎ ___36___ Some people express anger openly in a calm reasonable way. Others burst with anger, and scream and yell. But other people keep their anger inside. They can not or will not express it. This is called repressing(压制) anger.‎ ‎ For years many doctors thought that repressing anger was more dangerous to a person’s health than expressing it. They said that when a person is angry, the brain releases the same hormones (荷尔蒙). They speed the heart rate, raise blood pressure, or sugar into the blood, etc. ___37___‎ ‎ Some doctors say that both repressing and expressing anger can be dangerous. They believe that those who express anger violently may be more likely to develop heart disease, and they believe that those who keep anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood pressure.‎ ‎ ___38___ They say the first step is to admit that you are angry and to recognize the real cause of the anger, then decide if the cause is serious enough to get angry about. If it is, they say, “___39___ Wait until your anger has cooled down and you are able to express yourself calmly and reasonably.”‎ ‎ Doctors say that a good way to deal with anger is to find humor in the situation that has made you angry. ___40___‎ A. Anger may cause you a cancer.‎ B. Expressing anger violently is more harmful than repressing it.‎ C. They said that laughter is much healthier than anger.‎ D. Anger is a normal emotion that we all feel from time to time.‎ E. In general the person feels excited and ready to act.‎ F. Do not express your anger while angry.‎ G. Doctors say the solution is learning how to deal with anger.‎ 第三部分 完形填空(共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ One of the easiest things in the world is to become a fault-finder. However, life can be 41 when you are not busy finding fault with it.‎ Several years ago I 42 a letter from seventeen-year-old Kerry, who described herself as a world-class fault-finder, almost always 43 by things. People were always doing things that annoyed her, and 44 was ever good enough. She was highly self-critical and also found fault with her friends. She became a really 45 person.‎ Unfortunately, it took a horrible accident to change her 46 . Her best friend was seriously hurt in a car crash. What made it almost 47 to deal with was that the day before the 48 , Kerry had visited her friend and had spent the whole time criticizing her 49 of boyfriends, the way she was living, the way she related to her mother, and various other things she felt she needed to 50 . It wasn’t until her friend was badly hurt that Kerry became 51 her habit of finding fault. Very quickly, she learned to appreciate life rather than to 52 everything so harshly(刻薄). She was able to transfer her new wisdom to other parts of her 53 as well.‎ Perhaps most of us aren’t as extreme at fault-finding, 54 when we’re honest, we can be sharply 55 of the world. I’m not suggesting you 56 problems, or that you pretend things are 57 than they are, but simply that you learn to allow things to be as they are — 58 most of the time, and especially when it’s not a really big 59 .‎ Train yourself to ＂bite your tongue＂, and with a little 60 , you’ll get really good at letting things go. And when you do, you’ll get back your enthusiasm and love for life.‎ 41. ‎ A．uneasy B．quiet C．great D．lonely ‎42．A．answered B．rejected C．received D．expected ‎43．A．bothered B．interrupted C．threatened D．spoiled ‎44．A．anything B．nothing C．something D．Everything ‎45．A．interesting B．boring C．caring D．surprising ‎46．A．plan B．measure C．attitude D．explanation ‎47．A．impossible B．unnecessary C．certain D．Urgent ‎48．A．accident B．event C．occasion D．adventure ‎49．A．evidence B． memory C．choice D．Notice ‎50．A．contribute B．hear C．admit D．express ‎51．A．curious about B．aware of C. confused about D．afraid of ‎ ‎52．A．realize B．discuss C． settle D．Judge ‎53．A．career B．life C．family D．education ‎54．A．but B．or C．so D．for ‎55．A．sure B．proud C．hopeful D．critical ‎56．A．ignore B．solve C．create D．face ‎ ‎57．A．better B．rarer C．Worse D．Stranger ‎58．A．so far B．at last C．by far D．at least ‎59．A．result B．deal C．task D．duty ‎60．A．rest B．pity C．practice D．speech 第二节（共10小题：每小题1.5分，满分15分）‎ 阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。‎ ‎ You' ve probably seen the term“extreme sports”in magazines, heard about it on the evening news, and seen it 61 (advertise) in sporting goods stores.
