第二部分 阅读理解（满分20分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
For the past two years I have been travelling and living abroad. Home has become more of a feeling than a place. I feel at home when I am with my family in London, but I also feel at home in Italy with friends I love. Home is no longer a picture of a house with a front door and some windows. It is more complicated than that.
This is one of the reasons that celebrating the new year has become very important for me. I do not care about "New Year’s resolutions(愿望)” - living abroad has made me constantly reconsider what kind of person I want to be and how I will live my life, so I don't feel the need to plan for change: I live for change.
New Year’s Eve has become my time to reconnect with the friends that makes me feel at home. Every year we try to reunite wherever we are and remember the time when we knew each other so well that we felt like a family. It is a moment to reconnect and get to know each other again. Last year, we travelled to a cottage in Ireland where we had no internet and no neighbours. In the middle of the countryside, away from our big and constantly changing lives, we were able to become like a little family again.
This year, we went to Barcelona. It was a very big change. We were surrounded by culture and life and joy. There were bars and parties. It was different, but one thing stayed very much the same-I felt at home again and we felt like a family again.
A lot of people feel that New Year’s Eve cannot live up to expectations. Ideas such as the "New Year's kiss" and "resolutions" create a lot of pressure for people to have a night to remember, a night that will change their lives and perhaps make the next year one worth living. I think those people are missing the point. If Christmas is about family, why can't New Year be about friends?
1、What does the underlined word "It" in Paragraph I probably mean?
A．Family. B．Living abroad.
C．Home. D．Staying with friends.
2、Why doesn't the author care about "New Year's resolutions"?
A．New Year’s resolutions cannot be reached.
B．His lifestyle makes him always ready for change.
C．It's meaningless to make any big changes in life.
D．Making New Year's resolutions creates much pressure.
3、What does the author try to convey through his experiences in Ireland and Barcelona?
A．Life is peaceful and enjoyable.
B．Living abroad is a happy experience.
C．Staying with friends makes one feel at home.
D．Travelling abroad enriches one's life experience.
4、Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A．New Year's Celebration:How? B．True Friendship: What?
C．Living Abroad: Comfortable or Complicated? D．Change:Plan it or Make it?

B
Stefano Boeri, the Italian architect, famous for his Bosco Verticale, a group of tree-covered skyscrapers in Milan, introduced his new plans to pioneer a similar project in the Chinese city of Nanjing．
The Chinese version of Boeri’s Bosco Verticale, or vertical forest, will be his first project in Asia． The project will consist of two neighboring towers that will be coated with 23 different species of trees and more than 2,500 kinds of bushes hanging down the sides of the buildings． The structures will be built with the ability to house offices and will feature a 247-room luxury hotel, as well as a museum and even a green architecture school． The towers are currently under construction and are set for completion within the next year．
But two buildings aren’t enough for the ambitious Boeri as he now has even bolder plans for China to create “forest cities” in a country that has become known as an urban center choking on poisonous gases and dust．
In an interview about his plans to “greenify” the city and country Boeri said, “We have been asked to design an entire city where you don’t only have one tall building, but you have 100 or 200 buildings of different sizes, all with trees and plants on the sides.” Boeri continued, “We are working very seriously on designing all the different buildings．I think they will start to build at the end of this year．By 2020 we could imagine having the first forest city in China.”
Although these towers will lend a huge hand in decreasing air pollution in China’s eastern city, Boeri has said, it will take more than a pair of tree-covered skyscrapers to really solve China’s pollution crisis．This is why the Italian architect hopes to repeat his design in other parts of the country, as well as in other places around the world．
1、Boeri’s project is called vertical forest because buildings are built ________．
A．in a thick forest full of trees and green plants
B．in a city where trees and green plants are grown
C．with trees and bushes hanging down their sides
D．with trees and plants growing around like a forest
2、More forest cities will be built for the purpose of ________．
A．enlarging people’s living space in the urban areas
B．offering a unique solution to pollution problems
C．making the best of empty space around a building
D．beautifying a city which is like a forest of buildings
3、From the passage we know Boeri’s first project in Asia will ________．
A．still keep the original functions very well
B．raise people’s awareness of forest protection
C．gain him worldwide recognition as an architect
D．enjoy a better appearance in a crowded city
4、What is Boeri’s ambition?
A．To further reduce the construction cost．
B．To improve his design for more functions．
C．To help totally solve China’s pollution problems．
D．To have more Bosco Verticales around the world．
