A
We’ve searched the globe for the best hotels of the year. Here are some of our picks.
Revamped Hotel (Badeschloss, Austria)
Viennese architects BWM have transformed it into a red-hot retreat. Its 13-storey concrete addition has brought
the room total to 102, and all are designed in candy colours with bathhouse accents like pool ladders, private saunas
and deep tubs you can practically swim in. The icing on this cake is the rooftop heated pool at the top of three floors of
saunas.
Remote Sleep (Boca de Agua, Mexico)
With a complex of 22 elevated treehouses deep in the rainforest on the Yucatán Peninsula, the treehouses have
been created using wasted materials and a pared-back aesthetic that allows the surrounding jungle to take centre stage.
The emphasis is on softening the walls between the wilderness and guests, with outdoor showers, views of hammocks
swinging lazily on the deck (木质平台).
Eco-Stay (Santo Mine, Greece)
In the whitewashed village of Oia, in northern Santorini, Santo Mine has been hot on sustainability. Supporting
local suppliers, managing waste responsibly and protecting biodiversity with indigenous gardens is the MO (Mission
Objective). Simple but elegant suites with light woods and sea-facing beds sleep up to four people with private pools,
private whirlpool baths and the spectacular daily sunset.
Mountain Refuge (Odles Lodge, Italy)
Odles is a mix of understated luxury and raw wilderness, with pine forest and flower-flecked meadows at its
feet. The minimalist-cool lodges use blonde spruce and Swiss stone pine — the fragrant untreated timber apparently
promotes better sleep — while the windows and balconies frame impressive views. The spirit of South Tyrol’s
traditional mountain huts is captured, too.
1. In Boca de Agua, travelers can ______.
A. paint the walls B. live in a treehouse
第3页/共12页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司C. perform on the centre stage D. view hammocks in the jungle
2. What is the main concern of the hotel in Greece?
.
A Eco-friendliness. B. Natural scenery.
C. Customers’ preference. D. Understated luxury.
3. Which aspect is included in all of the four hotels mentioned above?
A. Heated pools. B. Expensive furniture.
C. Convenient transportation. D. Distinctive features.
B
In all the time I’ve spent in China, I’ve had my share of emotional crises. I can’t remember which one it was
in particular, but I do remember how my adopted “aunt” Li once took care of me, tucking (塞被角) me up in an
armchair in her Chengdu apartment, bringing me a cup of green tea, peeling and cutting fruit for me, chatting about
unrelated matters as she prepared one of her wonderful Sichuanese suppers. Like many Chinese people, particularly
those of the older generation, she didn’t show her love for me by hugging or requesting emotional outpourings, but
through food and over-concern.
It took me a while to become used to this way of expressing affection. At first I found it brusque and bossy:
“Have some porridge! Drink some soup! Put on some more clothes!” But over time I came to understand what it
meant. I can always tell, now, when someone Chinese is becoming fond of me because they start to become over-
worried about my physical needs, urging me to eat or drink, to wrap up warm, to rest. When serious-faced chef barks
at me to have some more baozi for breakfast or Li presses me to have another mouthful of her red-braised pork, I
know they are offering me the edible equivalent of a hug.
Food in China can mean many things. It is also art and craft and magic. It is the slices of fish that fall like snow
from the knife of the chef, the slivers of meat that dance in the shimmering heat of the wok (炒菜锅), the grains of
millet or rice that swell in the steamer. It is the employment of armies of microorganisms in the clay vat of jiang (酱菜缸)
or the wine jar, the creating of a hundred flavors in a tiny kitchen, the transformation of natural raw materials into
numerous forms. It is finding ways to generate delight in everything from a duck’s tongue to the peel of an orange.
It is one of the supreme expressions of human wit and creativity.
Above all, it is what connects us and makes us human.
4. Why does the writer mention her mental distress at the beginning?
A. To compare the difference in two cultures.
B. To introduce how Chinese express their love.
C. To highlight how fragile the writer used to be.
第4页/共12页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司D. To remind readers of the writer’s homesickness.
5. Which of following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “brusque”?
A. Abrupt and simple. B. Impolite and bitter.
C. Brave and direct. D. Demanding and abusive.
6. How does the writer develop paragraph 3 to further explain her idea?
A. By making comparison. B. By offering more examples.
C. By analyzing cause and effect. D. By classifying cooking methods.
7. What message does the author intend to convey through the text?
A. Every region has its own specialty. B. Food is culture, and culture is food.
C. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. D. The proof of the pudding is in the eating.
C
Global warming is causing problems for birds in Sweden and elsewhere. Warmer springs mean that
caterpillars (毛毛虫) hatch and grow earlier compared with just a few decades ago. This has consequences for birds
that cannot eat proper caterpillars. Therefore, when the food supply runs out at an ever earlier time in the spring,
more and more baby birds starve during the breeding (繁殖) season. This is a big problem for migratory birds that
spend winters in Africa, as they do not know how early spring arrives in Sweden.
“We thought that perhaps the migratory birds could fly further north until they find a place with suitable well-
developed caterpillars,” says Nilsson, biology researcher at Lund University in Sweden.
To test this in practice, the researchers decided to help some pied flycatchers (斑背鹟) along the way. The
biologists caught pied flycatchers that had arrived prior to breeding in the Netherlands. The birds were then driven
during the night to Vombs Fure, an area of pine forest outside Lund in Skane, where they were released. The peak
of caterpillar availability in Skane is about two weeks later than in the Netherlands — a distance of around 600
kilometres that a pied flycatcher could cover in just two nights.
“The birds that were given a lift from the Netherlands to Skane synchronized (同步) very well with the food
peak! As they started to breed about 10 days earlier the Swedish pied flycatchers, they had a dramatically better
breeding success than the Swedish ones as well as a better success than the pied flycatchers that remained in the
Netherlands,” says Nilsson. In addition, it was shown that the baby birds of the pied flycatchers that had received
migration assistance arrived earlier during the migration season to find Skane.
“The number of small birds, particularly migratory birds, has decreased drastically throughout Europe. By
flying a little further north, these birds, at least in principle, could synchronise with their food resources and there is
hope that populations of small birds can be maintained, even though springs are arriving ever earlier,” adds Nilsson.
第5页/共12页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司8. What’s the problem for migratory birds spending winters in Africa?
A. Global warming affects their natural habitats.
B. Their babies suffer a lot from food shortage.
C. They return to Sweden earlier compared with decades ago.
D. Only a few of them can return to the northern habitat as usual.
9. Why were some pied flycatchers driven to Vombs Fure?
A. They were so timed that they can’t tally anymore.
B. They preferred to the warmer climate there.
C. They could be provided with sufficient food resources.
D. They were misled by the researchers during the night.
10. What’s Nilsson’s attitude towards migratory birds’ flying further north?
A. Positive. B. Critical. C. Unclear. D. Neutral.
11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Migratory Birds Are at the Great Risk of Global Warming
B. Scientists Are Using High-Tech Tools to Study Migratory Birds
C. Human Beings Can Live in Harmony with Migratory Birds
D. Migratory Birds Can Be Taught to Adjust to Climate Change

Picture this: you are running late to drop your kids off at school in the morning. On top of this, it is pouring
rain outside. While you are driving down the highway, another car cuts you off. You begin to think they must be a
rude person who is also a terrible driver. A couple of minutes later, you, yourself accidentally cut off someone. You
inform yourself your action is a result of the fact that you are late for your child’s drop-off and you cannot see well
because of the rain. Why is it that we automatically assume others’ negative actions are a result of who they are as a
person while giving ourselves excuses? The actor- observer bias (偏差) is an explanation for this confusing
phenomenon.
When you explain someone’s behavior based on internal factors, like assuming the person who cuts you off is
a rude person, but attributing (把……归因于) your own behavior to external situational factors, you are engaging
in the actor-observer bias.
So why does the actor-observer effect occur? The general explanation is that it occurs as a defense mechanism
for maintaining high personal dignity. We would rather believe that our faults come from factors we cannot control
because then we cannot change them and it is easier for us to accept the outcome.
第6页/共12页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司The actor-observer bias is the cause of many arguments between the actor and the observer as a result of a
misunderstanding of the effect of external and internal factors. How can we stop thinking this way and become
more sympathetic to the people around us? This is where it gets tricky because the observer’s internal attributions
are an automatic process which means they occur almost immediately and unconsciously (无意识地).
In order to become more sympathetic towards surrounding people in situations, we must make the attributions
a controlled process. A controlled process is when the observer purposely focuses attention on something and is
consciously aware of the process,unlike an automatic process. Knowing what the actor-observer effect is and how it
can influence your own attributions is a good step toward becoming more sympathetic and kinder to people you
interact with.
12. How would we define the other driver’s behavior in Paragraph 1?
A. An emotional outburst.
B. A display of bad manners.
C. A moment of carelessness.
D. An unavoidable circumstance.
13. Why do we fall for the actor-observer bias?
A. To safeguard our self-image.
B. To avoid arguments with others.
C. To promote sympathy towards others.
D. To ensure fairness in interpersonal interactions.
14. How might an observer be more considerate to an actor’s actions?
A. By focusing on the situational factors.
B. By making the attribution process automatic.
C. By attributing these actions to internal factors.
D. By imagining themselves in the same situations.
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. Why we repeat our mistakes
B. How we can stop blaming others
C. What is the science of social justice
D. Why we always ignore our own faults

When I was a kid I took traveling with my parents for granted. Sure, they paid for everything. But they were
第7页/共12页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司basically no different from teachers taking us to a field trip. ____16____. For example, they took us to Denali
National Park instead of Disney World. And we sometimes stayed at hotels without pools. And they never let us buy
anything from the SkyMall catalog (目录).
Of course, some 20 years later, I consider traveling with my parents, now both in their 60s, to be the utmost
privilege. ____17____. Neither am I, and every day that passes brings us closer to our last. Fortunately, since
graduating college, I’ve been able to cover some serious ground with each of them.
Together my dad and I have looked for the Loch Ness monster in Scotland, photographed wildlife in Grand
Teton National Park, and most recently, survived the famously dangerous Drake Passage. Meanwhile, my mom and
I have stayed at a $9/night treehouse hostel in Mexico, eaten at a Michelin-starred vegetarian restaurant in Vienna,
and most recently, road-tripped through three states.
____18____. After all, even if you’re the apple that fell right under the tree, traveling with the people who raised
you isn’t always easy. “____19____,” says Alexis Sherry, a New Jersey-based travel agent. Still, Sherry is seeing an
increasing number of clients requesting vacations for more than one generation. They can be difficult to plan, but so
far she says she’s had no “disasters,” and often, her clients come back closer than ever.
“Our parents are our earliest attachment bonds,” says Katie d’ Autremont, a licensed professional adviser based
in Bozeman, Montana. “It can be healing and fun to rekindle that bond in our adult years and as our adult selves.”
She sees traveling together as the perfect opportunity for getting to know each other for who we are now, with “now”
being the key word. ____20____.
A. Those memories are golden
B. I know they’re no longer unbeatable
C. After all, as humans, we’re always evolving
D. That’s not to say that all of our trips have been without flaws
E. To my brothers and me, they seemed to be bent on limiting our fun
F. Planning a vacation can be considerably tricky when it involves demanding parents
G. There are always challenges as we are dealing with different physical abilities and interests

can prepare yourself to be an active bystander by____27____the Four D’s: distract, delegate (委托), delay or
document,” says Alan. “An active bystander helps to challenge____28____behavior.”
Distraction is a good start. Take the case of the man abusing his mother in the grocery store, don’t give the man a

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇 完整的短文。
In our weekly staff meeting, our editor Ashley was not pleased with the quality of our reporting. “Our
第10页/共12页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司readership is way down. We need better stories for this Thursday’s school newspaper. Does anybody have any
ideas?” she said.
I handed her my article about our basketball team beating Deerfield High School the previous night by one
point. “Sports stories are fun,” she said, “but not good enough for the front page. We need something to really get
people ‘s attention.”
After our meeting, we left the newsroom together and heard someone screaming, “Perry is missing!” Perry
was a big red parrot and had been our school mascot (吉祥物) for ten years. He played an important role in
students’ lives, both in and out of class. He had also been a constant presence at school events, inspiring a sense of
unity among students.
Everyone gathered around Perry’s empty cage, heartbroken. Suddenly, a student from the crowd came over
and showed me a photo. “You’re a reporter for the school paper, right? I happened to take this yesterday,” he said.
In the photo was a Deerfield High School basketball player with something large hidden under his shirt around the
size of a parrot.
“He must have stolen Perry to get back at us for winning the game!” Ashley cried. We hurried back to the
newsroom, agreeing to run the photo on the front page with the headline “Deerfeld Stole Perry.” “This is just the
story we need. Everyone will read it,” Ashley said confidently.
After she left, I took a closer look at the photo. The clock in the background read 4:15 pm, but our game
against Deerfield hadn’t started until 4:30 pm. Why would the boy have taken Perry before we even played? An
uneasy feeling came over me that we might have falsely accused someone.
I went to Perry’s usual caretaker to ask if he knew Perry was missing. ”He’s not missing. He’s retired. He’s
ready for some quieter days,“ he said. Learning the truth, I immediately told Ashley and suggested writing a story
to say goodbye to Perry.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右:
