As we initially considered it, it seemed crazy. Would we even make it a week with-outgoing mad? Living room, kitchen, office, dining room, all in one small four-walled space.‎ There were a number of other potential options. We could move out into the suburbs like most people do in our extraordinarily expensive city and have a small yard may be even a basement. But there was something about this neat "tiny" home that aroused our interest，that challenged us. We like to live differently from the crowd to avoid what everyone else is doing "just because" everyone else is.‎ ‎"Let's try it for six months. If it makes us crazy, we'll move. We can do anything for 6 months," my husband said. It was challenging squeezing into the space at first, but then something caught us by surprise. We started having a ton of fun with our tiny space.‎ In the past, sometimes we had quite different ideas about which art or decorating style we found appealing. But here, in this tiny space, we found ourselves having a ton of fun exploring possible options. There's no room for clutter(凌乱的东西), either. This is a gift!‎ It's been 8 months, and we're staying. Perhaps forever. When a space is this small, you don't need to spend much in furnishing it, and you cant keep endlessly buying things. There's nowhere to put them!‎ This leaves us more financial resources and more time to go out into the much bigger world and enjoy life. For us living in a "tiny" home has filled us with a feeling of abundance. It's so much better than feeling weighed down, paying for a big space and more and more things. I highly recommend it.‎ ‎24. What can we learn from the words of the author's husband?‎ A. He didn't like to stay in the small space.‎ B. He made up his mind to stay in the small space.‎ C. He was uncertain about living in the small space.‎ D. He encouraged the author to live in the small space.‎ ‎25. What do we know about the authors experience from the text?‎ A. It was depressing but inspiring. B. It was challenging but interesting.‎ C. It was disappointing but touching. D. It was embarrassing but rewarding.‎ ‎26. What's the main advantage of living in the small room to the author?‎ A. She could enjoy life more. B. She could avoid the crowds.‎ C. She could clean the room easily. D. She could enjoy a feeling of freedom.‎ ‎27. What is the best title for the text?‎ A. A new trend of living B. The joy of living "tiny"‎ C. Save space, save money D. Make good use of space C We've known for years that plants can wee, hear, smell and communicate with chemicals. Now, reported New Scientist, they have been recorded making sounds when stressed.‎ In a yet-to-be-published study, Itzhak Khait and his team at Tel Aviv University, in Israel, found that tomato and tobacco plants can make ultrasonic(超声的)noises. The plants "cry out" due to lack of water, or when their sterns(茎) are cut. It's just too high-pitched(音调高的)for humans to hear.‎ Microphones placed 10 centimeters away from the plants picked up sounds in the ultrasonic range of 20 to 100 kilohertz(千赫兹). Human hearing usually ranges from 20 hertz to 20 kilohertz. "These findings can alter the way we think about the plant kingdom," they wrote.‎ On average, "thirsty" tomato plants made 35 sounds an hour, while tobacco plants made 11. When plant stems were cut, tomato plants made an average of 25 sounds in the following hour, and tobacco plants 15. Unstressed plants produced fewer than one sound per hour, on average.‎ Perhaps most interestingly, different types of stress led to different sounds. The researchers trained a machine-learning model to separate the plants' sounds from those of the wind, rain and other noises of the greenhouse. In most cases, it correctly identified whether the stress was caused by dryness or a cut, based on a sounds intensity and frequency. Water-hungry tobacco appears to make louder sound than cut tobacco, for example. Although Khait and his colleagues only looked at tomato and tobacco plants, they think other plants also make sounds when stressed.‎ If farmers could hear these sounds, said the team, they could give water to the plants that need it most. As climate change causes more droughts, they said this would be important information for farmers. "The sounds that drought-stressed plants make could he used in precision agriculture(精准农业)," said Anne Visscher at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, in the U K.‎ Khait's report also suggests that insects and mammals can hear the sound up to 5 meters away and respond. For example, a moth(蛾子)may decide not to lay eggs on a water-stressed plant. Edward Farmer, at the University of Lausanne, Switzerland, is doubtful. He said that the idea of ‎ moths listening to plants is "a little too speculative".‎ If plants are screaming for fear of their survival, should we be thankful we cant hear them?‎ ‎28. What did Khait and his team find from their research?‎ A. Plants made low-pitched sounds when in danger.‎ B. Plants were able to produce sounds in response to stresses.‎ C. 'Plants picked up a wider range of sounds when stressed.‎ D. Plants made ultrasonic noises to communicate with each other.‎ ‎29. How did tomato and tobacco plants react to different stresses according to the text?‎ A. A plant reacted to different stresses with the same sound.‎ B. Cut tomato plants produced more sounds per hour than water-hungry ones.‎ C. Cut tobacco plants seemed to make weaker sounds than drought-stressed ones.‎ D. Tobacco plants might make louder sounds than tomato plants when short of water.‎ ‎30. What's the main idea of Paragraph 6?‎ A. The potential applications of the research. B. Challenges facing farmers in the future.‎ C. Farmers contributions to the research. D. What the future agriculture will be like.‎ ‎31. The underlined word "speculative" in the second-to-last paragraph has the closest meaning to ‎ ‎" ".‎ A. practical B. unsuspected C. unsupported D. complicated D Although there is growing research into the negative effect that screen-based technology can have on well-being(健康), the trick technology companies have somehow played is that they have made it our problem, not theirs. For example, it is ridiculous that we blame young people for being addicted to their apps when the simple truth is that they are designed to be addictive. In the world of apps, addiction is what brings in money.‎ Whether you run a video service, a news site or a mobile game, certainly your produce will have an effect on the mental health of your users---negative or positive. But the sad reality is that if you are not optimizing that effect, it tends to be former. The reason why so much technology doesn't support well-being was no a consideration in its design.‎ An important area for improvement is notifications(通知). Notifications area great example of a feature that's great for the product but bad for the users, since not only do they make us less focused ‎ but they also cause anxiety about the things we've missed, a symptom of addiction. There is very little good about an inbox icon(收件箱图标)showing a bright red circle with a high number on it. Notifications can be made friendlier by not showing them in real time. (Me idea is to show the level of unread messages through the weight of the app name. So if you had lots of emails, your Mail app would be very bold(粗体的), but if you didn't have any, it would be lighter. In this way, less attention will be required.‎ Though it sounds challenging, finally money will talk. It is possible to make changes to products that don't damage their primary income models. Changes could be made that help us feel better about ourselves. When a company becomes more well-being-positive, they add a competitive difference and become more attractive.‎ ‎32. What can be concluded from the first paragraph?‎ A. Young people can be tricked easily. B. Screen-based technology is negative.‎ C. The addiction problem can't be solved. D. Tech companies are to blame for addiction.‎ ‎33. If the users don't improve the effect on well-being, it tends to be .‎ A. indifferent B. optimistic C. pessimistic D. interesting ‎34. How can the apps reduce the negative effects according to the author?‎ A. By removing the inbox icon. B. By limiting people's screen time.‎ C. By making notifications less eye-catching. D. By informing the users of messages in no time.‎ ‎35. What does the author think of well-being-positive companies?‎ A. They will enjoy the benefit finally B. They will have an uncertain future.‎ C. They will do good to the minority. D. They will change income models.‎ 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。‎ Smartwatches and fitness trackers(健身追踪器)have gained popularity recently. These tools can record your daily steps, heart rates, etc. 36 . If yes, it might be a sign that you've addicted to your fitness tracker.‎ ‎ 37 . If you keep setting unrealistic daily goals that involve working out for too long, and if you begin to ignore friends and-responsibilities to make time for your workout, then you're most probably addicted to your fitness tracker.‎ It's a struggle to overcome the addiction to fitnesstrackers. 38 .For example, the number in your smart watch showing how far you've come can give you a sense of achievement.‎ Of course, failing to meet your daily goal can be discouraging. You might focus on your shortcomings rather than your progress. Another problem is that you might find yourself paying too much attention to the step number rather than how your body feels. 39 .‎ Therefore, if you've spending too much time looking at your smartwatch, limit your daily step count to a comfortable level. 40 . For example, concentrating on your hobbies or socializing with friends can be a great way to keep your mind on other things.‎ A. Don't overuse your smartwatch.‎ B. It doesn't convey what you're really feeling.‎ C. After all, reaching a daily step count can be so appealing.‎ D. How can you tell whether you're addicted to your fitness tracker?‎ E. Actually, this addiction to step count can be risky, mentally and physically.‎ F. However, do you find yourself checking your steps and heart rates too often?‎ G. Besides, you can find other things to do that don't involve checking your fitness tracker.‎ 第三部分 语言知识运用(共两节，满分45分)‎ 第一节 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四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ Jeremy Locke, 25, has his own roofing company in Bridgeport, Nova Scotia.
