In Copenhagen, an 8-year dream was realized when the first paid skiers took their runs down a one-third-mile course (路线)．They skied on what is possibly the greenestpower factory in the world．The factory is so clean and safe that designers were able to turn its buildings into a new center for social life．
The waste-to-power factory itself opened in 2017 under the name Amager Bakke．Bjarke Ingels is the architect whosecompany came up with the idea eight years ago of designing a power plant building that would join mountain sports into its very nature．
“It is the cleanest waste-to-energy power plant in the world．It is not only better for the environment, it is also moreenjoyable for the lives of its citizens.” Ingels says 97% of city people get their heating as a by-product of energy production．It comes from a system where the electricity, heating, and waste disposal (处理) are mixed into a single process．He dreams that it is also becoming an example that others can look to and say, “IfCopenhagencan do it why can' t we?"
There are no hills in this island city, but now people can ski locally, while enjoying the best views ever seen of the harbor．Another thing missing hereis snow cover throughout the winter, so designers set up a kind of special "plastic grass" that provides the perfect friction (摩擦力) for downhill winter sports．
In a country where 600, 000 skiers always had to travel to practice sking, to be able to finally ski in their backyard-and, all year round - is, as one skier said, “AMAZING．”
The company hopes to see 300, 000 visitors enjoying the experience of Copen hill each year, with the ski slope costing $ 22 an hour or just $ 366 for a full season pass．Meanwhile, the city is one step closer to its final
goal of becoming the world's first carbon-neutral city by 2025．We thinkit might be all “down hill” from here．
4. How does the power factory produce electricity?
A. By using oil．
B. By using coal．
C. By usingwind．
D. By using waste．
5. What' s Ingels' dream according to the passage?
A. To make more tall buildings in different big cities．
B. To help more skiers to ski in high mountains．
C. There will be more green power factories in the world．
D. More and more people will ski in the power factory．
6. Where do the skiers ski in the power factory?
A. On man-made snow．
B. On man-made ice．
C. On plastic grass．
D. On real sand．
7. The underlined part “it might be all 'downhill' from here" means that________.
A. they will soon reach their final goal
B. they will soon draw many visitors
C. they will produce more electricity
D. they have difficulties reaching the goal
C
With their tiny brains and excellent ability to memorize nectar locations, honeybees are a favorite model organism for studying learning and memory. Such research has indicated that to form long-term memories—ones that last a day or more—the insects need to repeat a training experience at least three times. By contrast, short-and mid-term memories that last seconds to minutes and minutes to hours, respectively, need only a single learning experience.
Exceptions to this rule have been observed, however. For example, in some studies, bees formed long-lasting memories after a single learning event. Such results are often regarded as circumstantial anomalies, says Martin Giurfa of the University of Toulouse. But the anomalous findings, together with research showing that fruit flies and ants can form long-term memories after single experiences, aroused Giurfa’s curiosity. Was it possible that honeybees could reliably do the same? Giurfa reasoned that the ability to form long-term memories might depend on the particular type of bee and the experience. Within a honeybee colony, there are nurses, who clean the hive and feed the young; guards, who patrol and protect the hive; and foragers, who search for nectar.
While previous studies have tested bees as a whole, Ciurfa and his colleagues focused on foragers, tasking
them with remembering an experience relevant to their role: an odor associated with a sugary reward.
The researchers observed that a single exposure to a reward-paired odor was enough for most forager bees to remember that specific odor the following day. Many foragers could even remember the odor three day later.
The results do not mean that all prior research was wrong, says André Fiala of the University of Göttingen. “People have done the experiments in a different way.” Still, the new results do show that “the commonly held belief that one needs multiple training trials to achieve long-term memory is not always true,” he says, and this “really advances the field.”
8. What does the author want to tell us through Paragraph 1?
A. A model for memory research.
B. The classification of memories.
C. New research on learning and memory.
D. Previous findings on memory formation.
9. Which factor might influence a bee’s memory of an experience, according to Giurfa’s research?
A. Whether the bee's role is related.
B. Whether the bee is introduced or native.
C. How often the bee repeats the experience.
D. How long the bee is exposed to the reward.
10. What is Andre Fiala’s attitude towards the new results?
A. Doubtful.
B. Favorable.
C. Intolerant.
D. Unclear.
11. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A. Learning and Memory: How Honeybees Remember
B. Honeybee Memory: Honeybee Knows What to Do
C. Honeybees Remember after Just One Lesson
D. Honeybees Use Memory for Communication
D
Teens who have good, supportive relationships with their teachers enjoy better healthas adults, according to research published by an American research center.
“This research suggests that improving students' relationships with teachers could have positive and long-lasting effects beyond just academic success," said Jinho Kim, a professor atKoreaUniversityand author of the study."Itcould also bring about healthimplicationsin the long run.”
Previous research has suggested that teens' social relationships might be linked to health outcomes in adulthood. However, it is not clear whether the link between teen relationships and lifetime health is causal（因果的）-it could be that other factors, such as different family backgrounds, might contribute to both relationship problems in adolescence and to poor health in adulthood. Also, most research has focused on teens' relationships
with their peers（同龄人）, rather than on their relationships with teachers.
To explore those questions further, Kim analyzed data on nearly 20,000 participants from the Add Health study, a national study in theU.S.that followed participants from seventh grade into early adulthood. The participant pool included more than 3,400 pairs of siblings（兄弟姐妹）. As teens, participants answered questions, like “How often have you had trouble getting along with other students and your teachers?" As adults, participants were asked about their physical and mental health.
Kim found that participants who had reported better relationships with both their peers and teachers in middle and high school also reported better physical and mental health in their mid-20s. However, when he controlled for family background by looking at pairs of siblings together, only the link between good teacher relationships and adult health remained significant.
The results suggest teacher relationships are more important than previously realized and that schools should invest in training teachers on how to build warm and supportive relationships with their students. "This is not something that most teachers receive much training in," Kim said, “but it should be.”
12. What does the underlined word “implications" in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Recipes.
B. Habits.
C. Benefits.
D. Risks.
13. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. Poor health in adolescence.
B. Limitations of the previous research.
C. Teens' relationships with their peers.
D. Factors affecting health in adulthood.
14. What does Kim's research show?
A. Good adult health depends on teens' good teachers.
B. Good family background promises long-term adult health.
C. Healthy peer relationships leads to students' academic success.
D. Positive student-teacher relationship helps students' adult health.
15. Where does this text probably come from?
A. A health magazine.
B. A medical report.
C. A term paper.
D. A family survey.

Everybody has experiences hard to forget, and the trip to my grandparents’ vegetable garden is the most unforgettable to me.
It takes place on a hot summer Sunday. My father took me to countryside to help my grandparents harvest potato. I was such curious about the work that I couldn’t help rush into the field. One hour later, the baskets were filling with freshly harvested potatoes. Unfortunately, we were on the point of heading home while it began to rain. Finally, we returned to home all wet through. What made this experience particular unforgettable? They enabled me to experience the joy of labor and made me aware of the significance of treasuring food.

52.Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.
Pushing Back School Starting Times
It's January. The outdoor temperature has fallen below 5C in the morning. Have you ever complained that you still have to get up at 6 a. m. and arrive at school before 7 am? Do you wish you could have a long nice lie-in?
You are not alone if your answer is "Yes!" In the United States, many high school students are unhappy with their school starting times, too.
That may soon change. Last October, Gavin Newsom, California's governor, signed a law that sets a limit on starting times of half-past eight for high-schoolers and eight o'clock for middle schoolers, hoping students will benefit form their extra time in bed.
Sleep deprivation is associated with problems in attention, behavior and learning. A research review by the U. S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention(C.D.C.)finds that later school starting times can lead to less falling asleep in class. The change can also help improve students' attendance and grades.
Many parents, however, are strongly opposed to such changes. Those who cannot start work later say they won't be able to drop their children off at school before they go to work. They also fear that later starting times will mean later ending times, resulting in fewer opportunities for their children to take part in after-school activities, hold part-time jobs and care for younger siblings.
Supporters argue that there really is no significant reason not to do this. Anthony Portantino, the California senator who introduced the law, believes evidence of the change's benefits will soon win over opponents. He says, "I only see an overwhelming resistance to the change from adults—something many teenagers will be familiar with."
