【解析】

【1】who/that考察引导词。who/that引导的从句修饰artist,并在从句中做主语。文意是Gregory Kloehn是以为艺术家,他用的他的技巧在做一件有价值的事情,为无家可归的人建造房子。

【2】of考察介词。the size of是固定搭配表示......的尺寸,文意是他把大街上找到的材料循环利用,他制造可移动的房子,尺寸就像沙发一样大。

【3】Wheels考察名词。Wheel是名词轮子的意思。根据文意房子的轮子不只是一个,所以应该用复数形式。文意是这些房子都有防雨的房顶,并且在底部有轮子方便移动。

【4】more考察比较级。More是much的比较级结构。文意是他希望在将来能够建造更多的房子。

【5】Although/While/Though考察连词。Although/While/Though表示尽管、然而的意思。文意是虽然制作的不多,但这些小房子对于那些无家可归的人来说已经足够了。

【6】to sleep 考察不定式。with no other place可看做的是插入语。所以句子就成为了for someone to sleep in,为了让人们能够谁在里面。

【7】was考察谓语动词。realized是过去时,而在我雕刻之前也应该用过去时。

【8】better考察比较级。better表示更好地,文意是我认为如果你投入更多有价值的东西,那样或许会更好,有比较的意味,所以要用比较级。

【9】wrote考察谓语动词。他写书是发生在过去,所以要用过去时。文意是他写了一本书名为Homeless Architecture at the time。

【10】admiring考察语态。这本书是赞扬他们在一无所有的情况下通过循环利用建造房子,是主动语态,所以要用admiring。

【题目】Rosie Dutton, a teacher from Relax Kids in Tamworth, UK, used two apples to show her students the often unseen but harmful effects of school bullying(校园欺凌). She postedthe lesson on Facebook, where it'sbeen shared more than 160,000 times.

Rosie Dutton explained that during one of her classes shepresented the children with two red apples. What the kidsdidn’t know was that before the lesson, she had repeatedlydroppedone of the appleson the floor. And yet, on the outside at least, both apples looked perfect.

“I picked up the apple I’d dropped on the floor and started to tell the children how I disliked this apple,” Dutton wrote. “I told them that because I didn't like it, I didn't want them to like it either, so they should call it names too.”Some of the children looked at her as if she were “crazy”, but the students passed the apple around the circle, calling it names.

Continuing the exercise, the teacher then passed the second apple around the circle. This apple, however, was showered with words like: “Your skin is beautiful,” and “ what a beautiful colour you have.”

Dutton then showed thestudents both apples once again, stressing that “there was no change, and both apples still looked the same.”

Finally, Dutton cut both apples open. The apple that the class treated kindly looked fresh inside. But the other apple—the one they’d treated poorly —was bruised(瘀伤的) beneath its skin.

“I think there was a light bulb moment for the children immediately,” Dutton said. “When people are bullied, especially children, they feel horrible inside and sometimes don’t show or tell others how they are feeling. If we hadn’t have cut that apple open, we would never have known how much pain we had caused it.”

Dutton explained how important it is to teach children to stand up for one another, and to stop any form of bullying.

“Let’s create a generation of kind caring children,” the teacher wrote. “The tongue has no bones, but is strong enough to break a heart. So be careful with your words.”

A. Shouting at it. B. Making fun of it.

C. Cheering for it. D. Saying rude things.

3What did the teacher tell the kids to do with the second apple?

A. Drop it. B. Praise it.

C. Ignore it. D. Respect it.

4What’s the purpose of the teacher’s using two apples in class?

A. To draw the kids’ attention.

B. To explain her personal preferences.

C. To help the kids understand the results of bullying.

D. To make a comparison between them.

【题目】There was once a king who had a wise advisor. The advisor followed the king everywhere and his favorite piece of advice to the king was “Everything happens for the good.”

One day the king went hunting (狩猎) and had a small accident. His foot was injured. Fortunately, he was not badly injured but as always he was forced to ask his advisor what he thought about the accident, to which the advisor replied, “Everything happens for the good.”

This time the king was really angry and put his advisor in prison (监狱). The king then asked his advisor, “Now, what do you think?” The advisor again answered, “Everything happens for the good.”

About a week later the king went on another hunting trip. As it turned out the king was caught by some cannibals (食人者) and taken to their camp where he would be prepared to be their evening meal. Before putting him into the cooking pot, he was examined and the cannibals realized that the king’s foot was injured. They decided to throw him back into the forests. It is the tradition for the cannibals not to eat anything that was in any way injured.

It is true that everything in our lives happens for a purpose, and most often for our own good.

【题目】Do you drink water that's been left sitting out overnight or even for another day? Have you noticed it tastes different?

Tap water that has been left to sit out slowly begins to acquire an off taste. Many people think that this is because of microorganisms(微生物). But that's not what makes old water taste not fresh. For that we can thank carbon dioxide. After about 12 hours, tap water starts to go flat as carbon dioxide in the air starts to mix with the water in the glass, lowering its pH and giving it an off taste. But it's most likely safe to drink.

However, back to those microorganisms. If you use a dirty glass day after day, there is more of a chance of bacteria making themselves known; a risk that increases if you share the glass with another mouth as well. But assuming you use a fresh glass every few days, you probably won't have a problem unless the glass has been touched by dirty fingers, and especially if those dirty fingers went unwashed after using the bathroom.

As for plastic water bottles that have been left out in the sun or in the car, step away from the bottle, warns Dr. Kellogg Schwab, director of the Johns Hopkins University Water Institute. "A chemical called bisphenol-A, or BPA, along with other things used to make plastic can leach(过滤) into your water if the bottle heats up or sits in the sun," he explains. BPA, as you probably know, has been linked to everything from heart disease to cancer. Schwab also adds that plastic used for commercial bottled water isn't meant to be washed or refilled, so use only one time and recycle. Or don't buy them at all; use refillable water bottles instead.

4】Which of the following is true about BPA?

A. It is safe for people to use.

B. It is a kind of new material.
