Turning soil, pulling weeds, and harvesting cabbage sound like tough work for middle and high school kids. And at first it is, says Abby Jaramillo, who with another teacher started Urban Sprouts, a school garden program at four low-income schools. The program aims to help students develop science skills, environmental awareness, and healthy lifestyles.

Jaramillo’s students live in neighborhoods where fresh food and green space are not easy to find and fast food restaurants outnumber grocery stores. "The kids literally come to school with bags of snacks and large bottles of soft drinks," she says. "They come to us thinking vegetables are awful, dirt is awful, insects are awful." Though some are initially scared of the insects and turned off by the dirt, most are eager to try something new.

Urban Sprouts’ classes, at two middle schools and two high schools, include hands-on experiments such as soil testing, flower-and-seed dissection, tastings of fresh or dried produce, and work in the garden. Several times a year, students cook the vegetables they grow, and they occasionally make salads for their entire schools.

Program evaluations show that kids eat more vegetables as a result of the classes. "We have students who say they went home and talked to their parents and now they’re eating differently," Jaramillo says.

She adds that the program’s benefits go beyond nutrition. Some students get so interested in gardening that they bring home seeds to start their own vegetable gardens. Besides, working in the garden seems to have a calming effect on Jaramillo’s special education students, many of whom have emotional control issues. "They get outside," she says, "and they feel successful."

24. What do we know about Abby Jaramillo?

A. She used to be a health worker.         B. She grew up in a low-income family.

C. She owns a fast food restaurant.         D. She is an initiator of Urban Sprouts.

25. What was a problem facing Jaramillo at the start of the program?

A. The kids’ parents distrusted her.          B. Students had little time for her classes.

C. Some kids disliked garden work.         D. There was no space for school gardens.

26. Which of the following best describes the impact of the program?

A. Far-reaching.         B. Predictable.         C. Short-lived.         D. Unidentifiable.

27. What can be a suitable title for the text?

A. Rescuing School Gardens          B. Experiencing Country Life

C. Growing Vegetable Lovers         D. Changing Local Landscape

Reading Art: Art for Book Lovers is a celebration of an everyday object-the book, represented here in almost three hundred artworks from museums around the world. The image of the reader appears throughout history, in art made long before books as we now know them came into being. In artists’ representations of books and reading, we see moments of shared humanity that go beyond culture and time.

In this "book of books,” artworks are selected and arranged in a way that emphasizes these connections between different eras and cultures. We see scenes of children learning to read at home or at school, with the book as a focus for relations between the generations. Adults are portrayed（描繪）alone in many settings and poses—absorbed in a volume, deep in thought or lost in a moment of leisure. These scenes may have been painted hundreds of years ago, but they record moments we can all relate to.

Books themselves may be used symbolically in paintings to demonstrate the intellect（才智）, wealth or faith of the subject. Before the wide use of the printing press, books were treasured objects and could be works of art in their own right. More recently, as books have become inexpensive or even throwaway, artists have used them as the raw material for artworks-transforming covers, pages or even complete volumes into paintings and sculptures.

Continued developments in communication technologies were once believed to make the printed page outdated. From a 21st-century point of view, the printed book is certainly ancient, but it remains as interactive as any battery-powered e-reader. To serve its function, a book must be activated by a user: the cover opened, the pages parted, the contents reviewed, perhaps notes written down or words underlined. And in contrast to our increasingly networked lives where the information we consume is monitored and tracked, a printed book still offers the chance of a wholly private, “off-line” activity.

28. Where is the text most probably taken from?

A. An introduction to a book.         B. An essay on the art of writing.

C. A guidebook to a museum.         D. A review of modern paintings.

29. What are the selected artworks about?

A. Wealth and intellect.         B. Home and school.

C. Books and reading.          D. Work and leisure.

30. What do the underlined words “relate to” in paragraph 2 mean?

A. Understand.         B. Paint.         C. Seize.         D. Transform.

31. What does the author want to say by mentioning the e-reader?

A. The printed book is not totally out of date.          B. Technology has changed the way we read.

C. Our lives in the 21st century are networked.         D. People now rarely have the patience to read.

As cities balloon with growth, access to nature for people living in urban areas is becoming harder to find. If you’re lucky, there might be a pocket park near where you live, but it’s unusual to find places in a city that are relatively wild.

Past research has found health and wellness benefits of nature for humans, but a new study shows that wildness in urban areas is extremely important for human well-being.

The research team focused on a large urban park. They surveyed several hundred park-goers, asking them to submit a written summary online of a meaningful interaction they had with nature in the park. The researchers then examined these submissions, coding（編碼） experiences into different categories. For example, one participant’s experience of "We sat and listened to the waves at the beach for a while" was assigned the categories “sitting at beach” and “l(fā)istening to waves.”

Across the 320 submissions, a pattern of categories the researchers call a “nature language” began to emerge. After the coding of all submissions, half a dozen categories were noted most often as important to visitors. These include encountering wildlife, walking along the edge of water, and following an established trail.

Naming each nature experience creates a usable language, which helps people recognize and take part in the activities that are most satisfying and meaningful to them. For example, the experience of walking along the edge of water might be satisfying for a young professional on a weekend hike in the park. Back downtown during a workday, they can enjoy a more domestic form of this interaction by walking along a fountain on their lunch break.

"We’re trying to generate a language that helps bring the human-nature interactions back into our daily lives. And for that to happen, we also need to protect nature so that we can interact with it," said Peter Kahn, a senior author of the study.

32. What phenomenon does the author describe at the beginning of the text?

A. Pocket parks are now popular.          B. Wild nature is hard to find in cities.

C. Many cities are overpopulated.         D. People enjoy living close to nature.

33. Why did the researchers code participant submissions into categories?

A. To compare different types of park-goers.         B. To explain why the park attracts tourists.

C. To analyze the main features of the park.          D. To find patterns in the visitors’ summaries.

34. What can we learn from the example given in paragraph 5?

A. Walking is the best way to gain access to nature.

B. Young people are too busy to interact with nature.

C. The same nature experience takes different forms.

D. The nature language enhances work performance.

35. What should be done before we can interact with nature according to Kahn?

A. Language study.          B. Environmental conservation.

C. Public education.         D. Intercultural communication.

第二節(jié)（共5小題; 每小題2.5分, 滿分12.5分）

閱讀下面短文, 從短文后的選項中選出可以填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。

As an artist who shares her journey on social media, I’m often asked by curious followers how to begin an art journey. Unfortunately, there is no magic list I can offer. I do remember, though, what it was like to be a complete beginner. So I’ve put together some good tips for starting an art journey.

·Start small. I suggest using a sketchbook（素描本）for small studies. These small studies provide inspiration and may be a springboard for more complex works in the future.   36   You’ll want to look back on your journey to see how far you’ve come.

·Paint often and paint from life. There’s no better way to improve than to put in those brush miles. Whether you paint still lifes, portraits, or landscapes, paint from life as much as possible.   37   

·Continually challenge yourself to try something new.   38   Artistic growth can be a bit painful. Welcome to the club, we’ve all been there. I love taking on challenges. I once took up a challenge to create a painting every day for a month and post the works online.

·   39   Seeking and accepting constructive feedback（反饋）is crucial to growth. I post my work on social media and, in turn, have met some of the kindest people. They make me feel valued and respected, no matter my level of artistic ability.

The journey you’re on won’t follow a straight path.   40   Push through, give it time and put in the effort. You will harvest the rewards of an artistic life.

A. Get out of your comfort zone.

B. Make career plans and set goals.

C. Don’t throw away your beginner art.

D. Share your work if you feel comfortable doing so.

E. You’ll hit roadblocks, and you’ll feel discouraged at times.

F. Evaluate your performance and, if needed, redefine your role.

G. You’ll develop that painting muscle memory that only comes with repetition.

Whenever I tell people that I teach English at the Berlin Zoo, I almost always get a questioning look. Behind it, the person is trying to figure out who exactly I teach…the animals?

Since June 2017, right before the   56   （arrive）of the two new pandas, Meng Meng and Jiao Qing, I have been helping the panda keepers at the zoo to feel more comfortable and   57   （confidence）speaking English. And who do they speak English   58   ?

Not the pandas, even though   59   language used for the medical training instructions is actually English. They talk to the flood of international tourists and to   60   （visit）Chinese zookeepers who often come to check on the pandas, which are on loan from China. They also need to be ready to give   61   （interview）in English with international journalists. This is   62   they need an English trainer.

So, what are they learning?   63   （basic）, how to describe a panda’s life. It’s been an honor to watch the panda programme develop   64   to see the pandas settle into their new home. As a little girl, I   65   （wish）to be a zookeeper when I grew up. Now, I’m living out that dream indirectly by helping the panda keepers do their job in English.

閱讀下面材料, 根據(jù)其內(nèi)容和所給段洛開頭語續(xù)寫內(nèi)段, 使之構(gòu)成一篇完整的短文。

When I was in middle school, my social studies teacher asked me to enter a writing contest. I said no without thinking. I did not love writing. My family came from Brazil, so English was only my second language. Writing was so difficult and painful for me that my teacher had allowed me to present my paper on the sinking of the Titanic by acting out a play, where I played all the parts. No one laughed harder than he did.

So, why did he suddenly force me to do something at which I was sure to fail? His reply: "Because I love your stories. If you’re willing to apply yourself, I think you have a good shot at this.” Encouraged by his words, I agreed to give it a try.

I chose Paul Revere’s horse as my subject. Paul Revere was a silversmith（銀匠）in Boston who rode a horse at night on April 18, 1775 to Lexington to warn people that British soldiers were coming. My story would come straight from the horse’s mouth. Not a brilliant idea, but funny; and unlikely to be anyone else’s choice.

What did the horse think, as he sped through the night? Did he get tired? Have doubts? Did he want to quit? I sympathized immediately. I got tired. I had doubts. I wanted to quit. But, like Revere’s horse, I kept going. I worked hard. I checked my spelling. I asked my older sister to correct my grammar. I checked out a half dozen books on Paul Revere from the library. I even read a few of them.

When I handed in the essay to my teacher, he read it, laughed out loud, and said, “Great. Now, write it again." I wrote it again, and again and again. When I finally finished it, the thought of winning had given way to the enjoyment of writing. If I didn’t win, I wouldn’t care.

注意:

1. 續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150個左右;

2. 請按如下格式在答題卡的相應(yīng)位置作答。
