W: Hi, Peter. We’d better book our flight for the meeting in New York. Do you prefer to take a flight on Wednesday or a flight on Thursday?
M: Wednesday’s flight would be better. That way, we can take a short break before the meeting begins on Friday morning.
Text 2
W: Fred is very happy.
M: Which one is he?
W: He’s short with big glasses, but actually his eyes are a bit small. He is in front of Lily with short brown hair. Look, there. Lily is the tall girl with long hair.
M: Oh. I see him.
Text 3
M: This copy machine broke down again! I’m worried because I need to make copies for my presentation tomorrow morning.
W: Don’t worry. Why don’t you keep preparing for your presentation? I’ll call the technician about fixing it.
Text 4
M: I think we need to hire several part-time workers to help us move the office.
W: You’re right. We can’t do all the preparation work ourselves. Let me search for a hiring agency to find us some people as soon as possible.
Text 5
M: I need to confirm the position of the bookshelf first so that we can have the books placed correctly. But the library director hasn’t come in yet. Do you know his mobile phone number?

Text 6
W: Tony, can you tell me why Baja California is popular for vacations?

W: Good morning, sir. Can I help you?
M: Yes, I want to buy an electric fan.
W: We have many brands. What kind are you looking for?
M: That’s the Great Wall fan advertised on TV recently. And my sister has just bought one. It looks like it is a good-quality fan that will work even if I run it all the time.
W: I’m terribly sorry, sir. The Great Wall electric fans are sold out. You can choose some other brands which are much cheaper.
M: That’s a pity. Well, when will you have some more of this kind?
W: We’re expecting some new ones tomorrow. And you can order one today. You know it’s quite a popular brand.
M: Then I’ll have to come again tomorrow.
W: I’m sorry you took the time to come here. By the way, if you need one badly, you might be lucky at our other store on Main Street.
M: Thank you. I’ll go and have a look.
Text 10
W: Hello, everyone. My name is Alicia, and I live in the state of Guanajuato in central Mexico. Today, I’d like to tell something about my hometown and people here. Here in Guanajuato, music and dancing are a big part of life. There are a lot of festivals here, and many kinds of music. Many young people like rock or pop music but my favorite kind of music is traditional Mexican music, which is the kind of music my grandparents and great grandparents listened to. I don’t know why but I’m just crazy about it. I’m a folk dancer, and I love to perform at special events, which give me chances to enjoy myself. To be a folk dancer, you have to love the culture and the music here. That’s the most important thing, but we also need to work hard and practice a lot. We dance in groups, and every person has to know the steps. And we can’t buy traditional folk dancing dresses at the store, so we have to make our own. We wear traditional dresses that only come from this part of Mexico.

As WWF’s Arctic and Bering Sea program female officer, I connect the dots between polar bears, climate change, and indigenous communities. I lead WWF’s efforts to help polar bears and other Arctic marine mammals coexist alongside people.
When I was in college, I majored in Russian and soaked up everything I could about the country. The day I graduated, I learned I’d won a chance to study community theater in Irkutsk, a large city in Siberia. There I picked up some environmental knowledge when volunteering with a conservation group and learned loads about Arctic ecosystems and species. Four years later, I moved to Alaska where occasionally WWF’s Alaska office was looking for someone who could speak Russian. They hired me and I’ve been with WWF ever since, coordinating conservation projects between Russian and American research teams.
My ability to move between cultures has proved just as critical to my work at WWF as my technical expertise. The people who live and work in the Arctic represent many incredible backgrounds and opinions—Alaska Native communities, government agencies, activists, people with different nationalities. You can’t do conservation work here without recognizing the ideological and cultural barriers those differences can create. And if you can recognize them, you have a far better chance of overcoming them.
Thus when I first go into an Alaska Native community, I never start by talking “human-polar bear conflict”. Instead, I ask them what’s happening with polar bears in their village. And I listen.Once I’ve learned the language they use to talk about polar bears, we can work together to find solutions. Although these Alaska Native communities I work with are living in the remotest parts of the state, I rely on them to share those solutions with other Alaska Native communities.
【语篇解析】本文是一篇记叙文。

主要讲述了在世界自然基金会工作的伊丽莎白·克鲁格为做好拯救北极的本职工作，克服着各方文化之间的差异，努力进行协调的故事。

24. When did the author begin to work for WWF?

【答案】D
【解析】细节理解题。

根据文章第二段最后“Four years later, I moved to Alaska where occasionally WWF’s Alaska office was looking for someone who could speak Russian. They hired me and I’ve been with WWF ever since”可知，作者是在搬到阿拉斯加后，才受雇于世界自然基金会的，一直工作到现在，由此选D项。

25. Which of the following shows the right order of the events?
a. I majored in Russian and learned everything I could about the country.

【解析】细节理解题。

根据文章第二段“I majored in Russian and soaked up everything I could about the country. The day I graduated, I learned I’d won a chance to study community theater in Irkutsk...Four years later...WWF’s Alaska office was looking for someone who could speak Russian. They hired me and I’ve been with WWF ever since, coordinating conservation projects between Russian and American research teams.”可知事情发生的正确顺序为adcb，故选A。

26. What does the author intend to express in the third paragraph?
A. Her ability to move between cultures is excellent.
B. People in the Arctic have various opinions.
C. It’s not easy to be a translator in the Arctic.
D. There are many difficulties to overcome in the Arctic.
【答案】C
【解析】推理判断题。

根据文章第三段的“The people...represent many incredible backgrounds and opinions...You can’t do conservation work here without recognizing the ideological and cultural barriers those differences can create.”可知，在北极生活和工作的人们有着不同的背景和观点，如果不能克服这些差异可能造成的意识形态和文化障碍，就无法在这里开展保护工作。

因此作者本段是要表达，在北极当一名翻译官不是一件简单的事情。

故选C。

27. How does the author help communities to solve human-polar bear conflict?
A. By living with native communities.
B. By talking about human-polar bear conflict.
C. By working together to find good ways.
D. By showing the importance of protecting polar bears.

Being bored is no fun, especially at work. There’s nothing worse than finding yourself bored in your office on a Monday morning only to realize there’s still four and a half more days to the weekend. But new research out of the Research School of Management at Australian National University argues that while boredom is certainly boring, it isn’t all bad. This bored mental state can actually spark precious creativity.
The study asked 52 subjects to do a pretty boring job: Sort apart a bowl of red and green beans with just one hand for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, 49 other subjects—the control group—were instructed to create art projects with paper, beans, and glue.
Once the 30 minutes was over, each group was instructed to spend five minutes on a creative task: they had to come up with reasons why a hypothetical(假设的) person was two hours late for a meeting. What the researchers found was that the bored group came up with not just more ideas than the control group, but more creative ideas than the control group, too. The quality and quantity of production was higher for people who were bored than those who were not.
A similar follow-up study also took measurements of other mental states—namely, frustration and anger. And it found that, despite some previous research that implies boredom can lead to lack of motivation or dissatisfaction at a job, boredom didn’t produce unwanted emotions that could be detrimental to mental health. In this case, people who were bored were just bored, and they walked away with a net benefit of creativity.
“Boredom is not necessarily miserable and harmful based on my research,” says the study’s lead author, Guihyun Park. “Peo ple want to get out of a boring state, so they are induced to novelty-seeking unique thinking, which brings out creativity.”
【语篇解析】本文是一篇说明文。

研究者发现无聊不一定是坏事，因为这种无聊的精神状态实际上可以激发宝贵的创造力。

28. What can we know about the 52 subjects?
A. They often felt very bored.
B. They always thought of weekends.
C. They were asked to do creative work.
D. They were required to sort beans.
【答案】D
【解析】细节理解题。

文章第二段第一句提到“The study asked 52 subjects to do a pretty boring job: Sort apart a bowl of red and green beans with just one hand”（这项研究让52名受试者做了一项相当枯燥的工作：只用一只手将一碗红豆和绿豆分开），因此可知D项正确。

29. What can we learn from the third paragraph?
A. The bored group was as creative as the control group.
B. Bored people could work better than those who were not.
C. The two groups carried out a same 30-minute task.
D. Bored people are often late for meeting.
【答案】B
【解析】推理判断题。

根据第三段的内容可知：一组是用30分钟分豆子，另一组是用纸张、豆子和胶水做艺术品，两个组并非做同样的任务，故C项错；从事乏味活动的小组比参照组更有创造性，故A项错而B项正确；D项夸大了事实，故D项错。

故选B。

30. What can the underlined word “detrimental” in Paragraph 4 probably be replaced by?
A. Valuable.
B. Influential.
C. Harmful.
D. Positive.
【答案】C
【解析】词义猜测题。

根据上一段可知：无聊乏味却能产生奇思妙想。

这对心理健康是有好处的。

该提问词所在的段落依然是同样的结论，所以目标词所在的句子句意应该是：无聊不会产生有害于心理健康的不良情绪。

故该词detrimental的意思最可能是“有害的，危险的”。

这与C选项表述相符。

故选C。

31. What is the best title for the text?
A. Boredom Brings out Creativity
B. Never Feel Bored When Doing Work
C. Being Bored Is No Fun at Work
D. Boredom Produces Unwanted Emotions
【答案】A
【解析】主旨大意题。

文章主要是通过研究说明无聊的精神状态实际上可以激发宝贵的创造力，所以A项“无聊乏味能产生奇思妙想”最符合文章主题。

故选A。

D
Researchers have been looking forward to using tiny flying robots to settle important tasks. The various machines could be used to help astronauts on space missions, and even to help bees with plant pollination(授粉). However, fitting the heavy electric equipment that is used to power and control the wings into the tiny robot has been challenging. Now thanks to RoboBee X-Wing—the world’s lightest aerial vehicle that can fly not tied to a power source.
Made by Harvard researchers, the insect-inspired robot weighs only 259 milligrams, has four wings whose distance is 3.5 centimeters, and stands 6.5 centimeters high. Its four small wings, which can flap up(拍动) to 170 times a second, are controlled by actuators(驱动器). They become small when the electricity passes through them. Six small solar cells, fitted above the wings to prevent them from disturbing the flight, provide the power.
RoboBee X-Wing is powered by six solar cells. To test its flying abilities, the team, led by doctor Noah Jafferis and PhD student Elizabeth Helbling, exposed the RoboBee X-Wing’s solar cells to LED lighting. To their delight, the tiny robot’s wings began to flap, and it rose, keeping a flight for about half a second. Though the robot lost its flight ability as soon as the power source was turned off, its short flight was cheered for its huge effect on the future of tiny flying robots.
However, though the current RoboBee X-Wing is a step in the right direction, it is not quite ready for main time. The researchers also hope to experiment with other power sources, such as batteries, sun light or radio frequency signals, and to add more advanced “brains” and sensor systems to navigate and complete tasks independently.
【语篇解析】本文是一篇科普说明文。

哈佛微型机器人实验室研究人员发明了微型飞行仿昆虫机器人RoboBee X-Wing，它的能量来自光源，虽然目前该机器人技术并不成熟，不能广泛推广使用，但它对于微型机器人技术的发展却有着重大意义。

32. What can we know about small flying robots according to the first paragraph?
A. They are made to do ordinary tasks by scientists.
B. They can be used only for very dangerous task.
C. They can be powered directly by the energy of the sun.
D. It’s not easy to fit the heavy electric equipment into them.
【答案】D
【解析】细节理解题。

根据文章第一段第三句“However, fitting the heavy electric equipment that is used to power and control the wings into the tiny robot has been challenging.”可知，把重型电子设备安装到小型机器人内是一件困难的事，故D项正确。

33. Why is RoboBee X-Wing considered having a big effect on the future of tiny flying robots?
A. Because it is ready for the instant use.
B. Because it can take off and fly out of control.
C. Because it can fly not tied to a power source.
D. Because it can settle important tasks.
【答案】C
【解析】推理判断题。

根据题干定位到第三段，该段整体描述了对RoboBee X-Wing的实验，即结果证明它可以依靠光源能量飞行，再结合第一段最后一句的“vehicle that can fly not tied to a power source.”可知，RoboBee X-Wing对微型机器人发展意义重大是因为它不用束缚在电源线上飞行。

故
选C。

34. Which of the following is TRUE about RoboBee X-Wing?
A. It can’t be used in crowded places.
B. It can be used for giving directions.
C. It can use radio signals to power itself.
D. It still ca n’t be used widely at present.
【答案】D
【解析】细节理解题。

根据文章最后一段“though the current RoboBee X-Wing is a step in the right direction, it is not quite ready for main time.”（尽管RoboBee X-Wing是朝着正确方向迈出的一步，但目前该机器人技术尚未成熟。

）可知，这个RoboBee X-Wing还不会被大规模应用。

故D项正确。

35. In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?
A. Entertainment.
B. Science.
C. Education.
D. Health.
【答案】B
【解析】推理判断题。

本文主要阐述了哈佛微型机器人实验室发明的微型飞行仿昆虫机器人RoboBee X-Wing，所以最有可能在报纸的科技版面看到这篇文章。

故选B。

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。

Meditation(冥想) to Control Stress for Beginners
Meditating really isn’t hard at all, and anyone can do it. 36 Go to a quiet place and get comfortable. You can use an app like Headspace or something similar, or even find a number of YouTube videos to help guide you through the meditation. My FitBit watch has a relaxation timer you can set to spend a few moments meditating.
37 Breathe in for four counts and out for four counts. Play with your breath patterns, and see what’s most relaxing for you. Sometimes a two to one ratio, like four counts i n and eight counts out can be relaxing.
Try to quiet your thoughts at this time, but don’t beat yourself up if they keep fleeting through your mind. Recognize the thoughts as they come through your mind, but then just let them go. 38 So if you’re hav ing a hard time doing it, repeat a mantra or word in your mind with every breath in.I prefer using the word peace.
39 It’s a deeply relaxing, peaceful and restful state. Your mind and body are in tune with each other. It can be a little scary at first, but the more you are able to reach this level, the more beneficial your meditation will be. But don’t worry if you can’t get to it.
When you’re ready for the practice, you can slowly close your eyes and just notice how you’re feeling.
40
A. Thus pick up a word which can make you feel really relaxing.
B. It takes time and practice to be able to clear your mind.
C. And I promise you that once you start, you’re going to want to keep going.
D. The goal is to empty your mind to try to get to that fourth state of consciousness.
E. All you need to do is find some uninterrupted time, about 2 to 10 minutes to start.
F. If you just try without guidance, start closing eyes, and concentrate on slow, deep breaths.
G. Meditation can control stress during a disturbing time in one’s life.

）和下一句“这是一种放松的、平和的、宁静的状态。

”衔接顺畅并能做整个段落的主旨句。

故选D。

40.过渡衔接句。

空格前一句的意思是：当你准备好了要进入这种练习时，就慢慢闭上眼睛，注意自我的感觉。
