【解析】本文主要叙述旧金山机场为旅客提供瑜伽房间,以供旅客在乘机之前进行放松和身体上的拉伸。并针对这件事情,叙述了机长、设计师和瑜伽老师的观点。

1考查连接词。根据后文的"one step further",可知此句表示转折,应用but连接。故填But。

2考查定冠词。根据后文idea指的是前文的"airports to offer a room for relaxation",可知此处应表示特指。故填the。

3考查动词语态。"Terminal 2 ___3___ (design) at the suggestions of a passenger during an open meeting", Terminaldesign之间是被动关系,所以此处应采用被动语态,Terminal2是特指旧金山的起点站,所以被设计这一语态是发生在过去。故填was designed。

4考查介词。根据"the room ___4___ the usual means",横线前为名词,横线后也为名词,所以此处缺少介词,连接两个名词,而只有by符合语境。故填by。

5考查连接词。"one ___5___ features a figure",one指代前面的a picture,分析横线后面的句子,可知该句缺少主语,可以用连接词来充当主语成分。故填thatwhich。

6考查动词语态。"a figure ___6___ (seat) in a full lotus position",句子中缺少谓语动词,此句是在叙述旧金山机场Terminal2瑜伽房间的有关情况,所以应该用过去时。故填seated。

7考查物主代词。"providing our travelers with the opportunity and space to relax and reduce pressure on ___7___ own terms",分析该句,横线后作定语,根据第一个and可知,此句为并列句,宾语是travelers,所以用物主代词代替前面的宾语。故填their。

8考查动词不定式。"constructed a floating wall ___8___ (symbolize) “a light spirit and enlightened mind”",横线是一个完整的句子,横线后为名词,所以句子缺少谓语成分,一个句子中不能出现两个谓语动词,所以横线处应填写不定式代替谓语成分,表目的。故填to symbolize。

9考查时间状语。"it will be to stretch out ___9___ you get on a plane for a 12-hour flight",根据全文语境,瑜伽房间是为了让旅客在登机前拉伸放松身体。故填before。

10考查副词。"to ___10___ (real) relax and prepare your body",relax是动词,所以横线处应填写副词修饰relax,故填really。

【题目】阅读理解。

One early morning, I went into the living room to find my mother reading a thick book called Best Loved Poems to Read Again and Again. My interest was aroused only by the fact that the word Poems appeared in big, hot pink letters.

Is it good? I asked her.

Yeah, she answered. There’s one I really like and you’ll like it, too. I leaned forward.

‘Patty Poem,’ she read the title. Who is Patty? I wondered. The poem began:

She never puts her toys away,

Just leaves them scattered where they lay,… 散乱的

The poem was just three short sections. The final one came quickly:

When she grows and gathers poise, 稳重

I’ll miss her harum-scarum noise, 莽撞的

And look in vain for scattered toys. 徒劳地

And I’ll be sad.

A terrible sorrow washed over me. Whoever Patty was, she was a mean girl. Then, the shock.

It’s you, honey, My mother said sadly.

To my mother, the poem revealed a parent’s affection when her child grows up and leaves. To me, the she in the poem was horror. It was my mama who would be sad. It was so terrible I burst out crying.

What’s wrong? my mother asked.

Oh Mama, I cried. I don’t want to grow up ever!

She smiled. Honey, it’s okay. You’re not growing up anytime soon. And when you do, I’ll still love you, okay?

Okay, I was still weeping. My panic has gone. But I could not help thinking aboutthat silly poem. After what seemed like a safe amount of time, I read the poem again and was confused. It all fit so well together, like a puzzle. The language was simple, so simple I could plainly understand its meaning, yet it was still beautiful. I was now fascinated by the idea of poetry, words that had the power to make or break a person’s world.

I have since fallen in love with other poems, but Patty Poem remains my poem. After all, Patty Poem gave me my love for poetry not because it was the poem that lifted my spirits, but because it was the one that hurt me the most.

【题目】Grandparents Answer a Call

As a third-generation native of Brownsville, Texas, Mildred Garza never planned to move away. Even when her daughter and son asked her to move to San Antonio to help with their children, she politely refused. Only after a year of friendly discussion did Ms. Garza finally say yes. That was four years ago. Today all three generations regard the move as a success, giving them a closer relationship than they would have had in separate cities.

No statistics show the number of grandparents like Garza who are moving closer to adult children and grandchildren. Yet there is evidence suggesting that the trend is growing. Even President Obamas mother-in-law, Marian Robinson, has agreed to leave Chicago and move into the White House to help care for her granddaughters. According to a study by grandparents. Com, 83 percent of the people said Mrs. Robinson s decision will influence grandparents in the American family. Two-thirds believe more families will follow the example of Obamas family.

In the 1960s we were all a little wild and couldn’t get away from home far enough for fast enough to prove we could do it on our own,says Christine Crosby, publisher of Grand , a magazine for grandparents.We now realize how important family is and how important it isto be near them, especially when youre raising children.

Moving is not for everyone. Almost every grandparent wants to be with his or her grandchildren and is willing to make sacrifices, but sometimes it is wiser to say no and visit frequently instead. Having your grandchildren far away is hard, especially knowing your adult child is struggling, but giving up the life you know may be harder.

BFew people responded sympathetically.

3 What did Crosby say about people in the 1960s?

A.They were unsure of themselves.

B.They were eager to raise more children.

C.They wanted to live away from their parents.

DThey had little respect for their grandparents.

4What does the author suggest the grandparents do in the last paragraph?

A. Make decisions in the best interests of their own.

B. Ask their children to pay more visits to them.

C. Sacrifice for their struggling children .

D. Get to know themselves better.

【题目】Putting more green space around an elementary school may help students develop some mental abilities, a study suggests.

Researchers tested students repeatedly over the course of a year on attentiveness and working memory, which is the ability to keep something in mind temporarily for performing a task. The study tracked more than 2,000 students in 36 primary schools in Barcelona, Spain. The pupils were in the second to fourth grade when the study began. Overall, students whose schools are surrounded by more green space improve more pupils from schools with less green space.

“Policy makers should know that more green space around the school is better for cognitive (认知的) development and that they should make sure that kids can see and play in green areas,” one author, Mark Nieuwenhuijsen of the Center for Research in Environmental Epidemiology in Barcelona, said in an email. “Existing urban schools should think about replacing concrete or other hard surfaces with green space, and even a few trees may help,” he suggested.

The researchers used satellite images to group schools according to how much green space appeared on the school ground and within about 55 yards of the school’s surrounding property. Their analysis indicated that differences in socioeconomic factors between schools did not account for the study outcome.

Sally Augustin, a psychologist in La Grange Park, Illinois, who used research on how people react to their surroundings to consult on design of buildings, products and services, said the results make sense to her. Augustin, who did not participate in the new study, said the results fit with previous findings that views of nature help children and adults lower stress and perform mental tasks better.

1What do we know about the findings of the study?

A. Attentiveness (专注) is the most important quality for students.

B. A good memory enables students to perform a task better.

C. More green space may help the mental development of students.

D. Schools surrounded by more green space are favored by parents.

2According to Mark Nieuwenhuijsen, policy makers should _______.

A. reduce the noise near the school

B. reduce air pollution from vehicles

C. provide more green space for kids

D. encourage kids to play more sports

3How are the schools classified by the researchers?

A. By green space. B. By test scores.

C. By size. D. By position.

4Why is Augustin mentioned in the passage?

A. To introduce another interesting study.

B. To make the findings of the study more convincing.

C. To present new evidence for the study.

D. To show a different viewpoint.
