卷)英语试题

一、阅读理解

Pasta and pizza were on everyone’s lunch menu in my native land

of Italy. Everyone who had such a lunch was fair-skinned and spoke

Italian. A few years later, as I stood in the lunch line with my

kindergarten class in a school in Brooklyn, I realized things were no

longer that simple. My classmates ranged from those kids with pale

skin and large blue eyes to those with rich brown skin and dark hair.

The food choices were almost as diverse as the students. In front of

me was an array of foods I couldn’t even name in my native language.

Fearing that I would pick out something awful, I desperately tried to

ask the boy ahead of me for a recommendation. Unfortunately, between

us stood the barrier of language.

Although my kindergarten experience feels like a century ago, the

lessons I learned will stick in my mind forever. For the past three

summers, I have worked in a government agency in New York. New

immigrants much like the little girl in the lunch line flooded our

office seeking help. I often had to be an interpreter for the

Italian-speaking ones. As I served the role of vital communication

link, I was reminded of my desperate struggle to converse before I

learned English. I watched with great sympathy as elderly Italians

tried to hold a conversation in Italian with people who did not speak

the language. It suddenly became very clear to me how lucky I was to

be fluent in two languages.

In New York, a multicultural city, students like me are blessed

with a chance to work with a diverse population. In my English to

Italian translations, I’ve learned about social programs that I

didn’t know existed. This work expanded my mind in ways that are

impossible inside the four walls of a classroom. Walking through the

streets of Brooklyn today, I am no longer confused by this city’s

sounds and smells. Instead, enjoy its diversity.

world. true.

All around the world, there are small changes taking place. At

the side of roads, behind school playgrounds and on all kinds of

unloved pieces of land across towns and cities, tiny forests barely

the size of tennis courts are appearing, making a great place for

both wildlife and local people who may not normally have easy access

to nature. This is the Tiny Forest movement, which aims to prove that

the best things in life really do come in small packages.

Tiny forests were first pioneered as a concept in the 1970s by Dr

Miyawaki, a Japanese botanist. As he went on to share his concept

with others, the idea soon took off in India and other countries

before eventually reaching Europe, where it became popular in places

like France, Belgium and the Netherlands.

So how does it work? Louise Hartley, who is leading the Tiny

Forest project in the UK, explains that the process begins by

identifying areas in which a tiny forest could have the biggest

influence. “We focus on urban areas where access to nature is often

not that easy”, says Hartley. “We see it as a chance to try to

break the growing disconnect between people and nature.”

In a Tiny Forest, there must be a minimum of 600 trees, and the

trees are planted much closer together and without chemicals or

fertilisers (肥料). There are usually around 30 different kinds of

all-native tree species (物种). This variety, coupled with the fact

that tiny forests grow up to ten times faster than standard forests,

means they attract a rich abundance of wildlife. It’s also thought

that these places could help reduce the risk of flooding, remove

carbon from the atmosphere and fight climate change, as well as

improving the mental health of those living locally.

4. What do we know about the Tiny Forest movement?

A．It has achieved notable

B．It is led by number of schools.

Many people believe that working to the maximum is the secret to

success, but research has found that moderation(适度) also gets

results on the job.

In a study led by Ellen Langer of Harvard University, researchers

asked people to translate sentences into a new a made-up language.

Subjects who practiced the language moderately beforehand made fewer

errors than those who practiced extensively or not at all. High

levels of knowledge can make people too attached to traditional ways

of viewing problems across fields the arts, sciences, and politics.

High conscientiousness is related to lower job performance,

especially in simple jobs where it doesn’t pay to be a perfectionist.

How long we stay on the clock and how we spend that time are

under careful examination in many workplaces. The young banker who

eats lunch at his desk is probably seen as a go-getter, while his

colleagues who chat over a relaxed conference-room meal get dirty

looks from the corner office. “People from cultures that value

relationships more than ours does are shocked by the thought of

eating alone in front of a computer”, says Art Markman, a professor

of psychology at the University of Texas, Austin. Social interaction

has been shown to lift mood(情绪) and get people thinking in new

directions and in ways that could help improve any post-lunch effort.

Markman also promotes off-task time. “Part of being a good

thinker is experiencing things that are seemingly unrelated to what

you are working on at the moment but give you fresh ideas about your

work,” he says. “Also, there is a lot of research showing that a

positive mood leads to higher levels of productivity and creativity.

So, when people do things to increase their life satisfaction, they

also make themselves more effective at work.”

A．It is worthwhile to be a

perfectionist

二、七选五

I have a drawer full of letters to Santa. Each year my children

would write up their Christmas wish lists. They were polite requests

for the latest game or toy. As the children got older, they would

give Santa some hints(提示)on where to buy their

presents. 11

Those letters taught my children a valuable lesson about writing:

It has a purpose. Sometimes our purpose is to achieve something;other

times it may be to entertain, inform, or

persuade. 12 And when writing doesn’t seem to have

any purpose or get any kind of meaningful response, then it can be

hard to get excited about doing it.

Christmas is a great time of year for children to communicate

with others through writing. When children write for real audiences

and real purposes, they can learn to choose their words

accordingly. 13 You write “Dear Santa” because you

don’t know him personally and you want to show him respect.

14 Texting, online messaging, live chats while

playing video games all mean that they are constantly producing

written messages. However, because they are usually writing to family

and friends, they use informal language most of the time.

There is nothing wrong with this kind of writing. It suits the

audience and the purpose and gets the job

done. 15 This type of writing won’t be rewarded by

the school examiner, nor by a future employer or a potential client.

The very best communicators are those who know how to adjust their

language to match their audience.

A．It isn’t that these young people can’t write.

B．But it is always purposeful-or at least it should be.

C．The age of pen-and-paper letter writing may have passed.

D．As a result, each year they received something they wanted.

E．You write “Hi Nanna and Pop” because you are close to them.

F．As technology develops, young people are writing more than they

ever have.

G．But if this is the only kind of writing young people do, it will

cause problems.
