The band Coldplay has released (发行) a new album called “Everyday Life”. But the group has announced it won’t go on tour until it can figure out how to tour without making the climate worse.
Normally when bands have a new album, they go on tour to promote (推销) the album. They may fly from country to country and drive across countries in buses, performing in concert after concert.
Touring is an important way singers and musicians earn money. But tours are very hard on the environment. Flying is one of the biggest sources of greenhouse gases. During their last tour, the band flew to five different continents and played 122 shows. They traveled with 109 supporting workers, 32 trucks, and 9 bus drivers. Think about the pollution from Coldplay’s flights as well as the trucks, buses and huge amounts of electricity required to power the shows!
It’s hard to keep track of the pollution a band creates while touring, but most of the environmental cost comes from the fans. During their last tour, Coldplay entertained 5.4 million fans, all of whom had to travel to the concerts and bought “merchandise” like T-shirts, CDs and posters. Some bought food and drinks at the concerts, creating tons of plastic waste.
Instead of touring to promote the new album, Coldplay recorded two videos of the band playing their new songs live in Jordan and has put the videos of their performances up for free viewing on YouTube.
Coldplay, one of whose dreams is to have a show with no single-use plastic and have it largely sun-powere d, says it won’t tour again until its members work out how to make their tours help instead of hurt. The decision will cost the band a lot of money in the short run, but it could pay off big for the planet.
4．Why is Coldplay’s last tour mentioned twice by the author?
A．To stress the necessity of the tour.
B．To describe Coldplay’s great popularity.
C．To introduce Coldplay’s basic information.
D．To show huge environmental costs of the tour.
5．How did Coldplay promote the new album?
A．By making a tour in Jordan.
B．By distributing free CDs to fans.
C．By posting their performances online.
D．By performing their new songs live on TV.
6．Which of the following best describes Coldplay’s decision to quit tours? A．Thoughtless. B．Meaningful.
C．Temporary. D．Doubtful.
Sleep is essential for a person’s wellbeing. Researchers have found that sleep loss increases a person’s risk of developing serious medical conditions. Now, a new study has found that getting enough sleep is also the key to improving academic performance.
Jeffrey Grossman, who led the research, was not trying to find the correlation (相关性) between sleep and grades when he handed out Fitbits to the students in his class. Instead, the professor hoped the popular wrist-worn electronic device (装置), which track s a person’s activity 24/7, would show a connection between physical exercise and academic achievement.
As part of the research, a quarter of the participants chose a fitness class specially created for the study. After the school term ended, the researchers carefully analysed the data. Much to Grossman’s surprise, they found no measurable difference in test performance between the group that had been physically active and the group that had not.
However, the study presented a surprising viewpoint in the journal Science of Learning. Going through the large amount of data, Grossman noticed an interesting trend (走向) from the participants sleep patterns. There was a straight-line relationship between the average amount of sleep and his/her grade on the exams.
Besides, it was not enough for students to just head to bed early the night before a test. Grossman says: “We’ve heard the phrase ‘Get a good night’s sleep, you’ve got a big day tomorrow.’ It turns out this does not relate at all to test performance. Instead, it’s the sleep you get during the days when learning is happening that matters most.”
The time students went to bed each night was similarly important. Those who went to bed in the early hours of the morning performed poorly, even if the total sleep time was the same as a higher-performing student.
The research does not prove that sleep is the only component that helps improve academic performance. However, Grossman says the results are a strong indication that sleep really matters. Who knew getting A’s just required some extra ZZZ’s?
7．What’s Grossman’s original purpose by using Fitbits in the research?
A．To improve students sleep patterns.
B．To regulate students’ daily behavior.
C．To monitor students’ physical condition.
D．To find effects of physical exercise on grades.
8．What did Grossman think of the research result?
A．It was unexpected. B．It was changeable
C．It was unreliable. D．It was fruitless.
9．What plays a more important part in test performance?
A．Sleep in the learning stage. B．Average amount of sleep during tests. C．Sleep quality the night before the test. D．A regular bedtime.
10．What is the best title for the text?
A．Be Physically Active and Sleep More
B．Enough Sleep Benefits Our Wellbeing
C．Catch ZZZ’s for Good Test Performance
D．The More Exercise, the Better Schoolwork

Last Christmas my older sister Jane got a unicycle (独轮脚踏车) she had requested. I thought it kind of strange, wondering why she would want something like that. She did ride and practice for a while, but eventually stopped.
Curious, I tried it, finding it very hard and thinking it impossible for a weak girl like me to learn. Since our dining room of our old house had low beams (屋梁), I used them like monkey bars to practice riding, which helped a lot. Because I thought it was really fun, I practiced every spare moment I had, teaching myself to go forwards, backwards and to turn. Practicing was something I loved to do in my spare time, but it did get discouraging when I fell. After months of practicing, I finally made it.
One morning, our teacher Maria excitedly announced that a school talent show was to be held to raise money for charity. She encouraged my classmates to sign up for it. I’m not always best in front of a crowd, which was why I was very nervous when I meant to put on my performance by doing a hula hoop (圈) and riding a unicycle on stage. But I overcame my fear and entered myself for the talent show, for which I practiced a lot in case I should mess up.
My routine (整套动作) was to do the hula hoop from my neck, down to my stomach, then to my knees. After that, I was to ride my unicycle forwards and backwards on stage. Lastly I would do the hula hoop while riding the unicycle. I was to do all this accompanied by my carefully selected music. I wondered what people from my seventh grade would think of my performance. With my friends inspiring me, I built up my confidence. On the night of the show, many people found out there was going to be a unicycle performance, so more came, even the headmaster.
Para. 1: I was both nervous and excited when it was my turn.
___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ Para. 2: When I got home, I couldn’t wait to check my mobile phone left at home.

其次是一些专有名词，比如说数词、代词、时间、年代、地点/名称等。

在本文中，第4小题中的代词it与选项G中有相呼应的词语a reference page，故选G项。

【解析】
这是一篇说明文。

文章介绍了15岁的女孩埃莉•希思自创“可穿戴艺术”的公司，她所有的手工作品都是用二手或捐赠的布料制作而成。

36．考查非谓语动词。

句意：埃莉·希思还没会说话，就花了好几个小时画画。

短语spent hours in doing sth.花几个小时做某事，介词in可以省略，此处使用动名词。

故填drawing。

37．考查形容词的比较级。

句意：长大后，15岁的她发现了缝纫的乐趣。

此处用形容词的比较级作grew的表语，意为“长大后”。

故填older。

38．考查代词。

句意：她觉得这很有创意，也让她很平静。

此处是it在find后作宾语，构成find+it+形容词（作宾补）的结构。

故填it 。

39．考查介词。

句意：她对工作的热爱使她开了一家公司。

根据her opening a business可知此处要用介词，短语lead to“导致，引起”。

故填to。

40．考查宾语从句的连接词。

句意：“三只蓝兔子”是她公司的名字，这家公司制作的是她称之为“可穿戴艺术”的物品。

此处是what引导的宾语从句，作makes的宾语，且what在从句中充当calls的宾语。

故填what。

41．考查被动语态。

句意：埃莉所有的手工作品都是用二手或捐赠的布料制作而成。

根据主语是All the pieces Ellie creates可知此处要用被动语态，且时态为一般现在时。

故填are made。

42．考查非谓语动词。

句意：埃莉·希思希望通过她的工作来减少这个数量。

短语expect to do“期待去做，期望做某事”，不定式表示目的。

故填to reduce。

43．考查时态。

句意：然后，她通过反复试验找出正确的设计方案。

根据上句谓语starts with 可知此处要用一般现在时，且主语是she。

故填finds。

44．考查名词。

句意：她认为创造力可以滋养孩子们的大脑，让孩子们受到尽可能多的人和物的启发是非常重要的。

此处是主语，且谓语动词是feeds，可知主语要用单数名词形式。

故填creation。

45．考查副词。

句意：她认为创造力可以滋养孩子们的大脑，让孩子们受到尽可能多的人和物的启发是非常重要的。

此处要用副词修饰形容词important。

故填definitely。

【点睛】
第8小题考查了一般现在时的时态。

一般现在时的用法：
1．表示事物或人物的特征、状态。

如：The sky is blue. 天空是蓝色的。

2．表示经常性或习惯性的动作。

如：I get up at six every day. 我每天六点起床。

3．表示客观现实。

如：The earth goes around the sun. 地球绕着太阳转。

一般现在时的结构：
1．be动词：主语+be (am/is/are)其它。

如：I am a boy. 我是一个男孩。

2．行为动词：主语+行为动词（+其它）。

如：We study English我们学习英语。

当主语为第三人称单数（he/she/it）时，要在动词后加-s或-es。

如：
Mary likes Chinese玛丽喜欢汉语。

一般现在时常用的时间词：often，usually，sometimes，every day (week/year)等。

A.第三人称单数形式的构成
一般现在时主语是第三人称单数时，谓语动词后要加s或es，其变化规则与名词变复数的方法大体相同：
1．一般情况下只在动词后加s，如work-works，write-writes.
2．以o，s，x，sh，ch结尾的动词，后加-es，如guess-guesses，mix-mixes，finish-finishes，catch-catches.
3．以辅音字母加y结尾的动词，改y为i加-es，如study-studies.
注：不规则变化的有have — has。
