A
For many people who live in cities, parks are an important landscape. They provide a place for people to relax and play sports, as well as a shelter from the often severe environment of a city. What people often overlook is that parks also provide considerable environmental benefits.
One benefit of parks is that plants absorb carbon dioxide and give off oxygen. According to one study, an acre of trees can absorb the same amount of carbon dioxide that a typical car emits in 11,000 miles of driving. Parks also make cities cooler. Scientists have long noted what is called the Urban Heat Island Effect: building materials such as metal and concrete (混凝土) absorb much more of the sun’s heat and release it much more quickly than trees and grass. Because city landscapes contain so much of these building materials, cities are usually warmer than surrounding rural areas. Parks and other green spaces help to lessen the Urban Heat Island Effect.
Unfortunately, many cities cannot easily create more parks. However, cities could benefit from many of the positive effects of parks by encouraging citizens to create another type of green space: rooftop gardens. While most people would not think of starting a garden on their roof, human beings have been planting gardens on rooftops for thousands of years. Some rooftop gardens are simple container gardens that anyone can create with the investment (投资) of a few hundred dollars and a few hours of work.
Rooftop gardens provide many of the same benefits as other urban parks and garden spaces, but without taking up the much-needed land. In the summer, rooftop gardens prevent buildings from absorbing heat from the sun, which can significantly reduce cooling bills. In the winter, gardens help control the heat that materials like brick and concrete release so quickly, leading to savings on heating bills. Rooftop vegetables and herb gardens can also provide fresh food for city settlers, making their diets healthier. Rooftop gardens are not only something everyone can enjoy but also a smart environmental investment.
1、The underlined word “emits” in the second paragraph probably means _________.
A．takes up B．gives out
C．carries away D．breathes in
2、Which of the following contributes to the Urban Heat Island Effect?
A．More rooftop gardens. B．More trees and grass.
C．More parking lots. D．More building materials.
3、When it comes to rooftop gardens, what can be inferred from the passage?
A．They make people much happier.
B．They provide more benefits from urban parks.
C．They help to save money and keep a healthy diet.
D．They have become very popular in recent years.
4、What’s the author’s attitude towards rooftop gardens?
A．Supportive. B．Doubtful.
C．Critical. D．Objective.

B
I was born on the 17th of November 1828, in the village of Nam Ping, which is about four miles southwest of Macao, and is located on Pedro Island lying west of Macao, from which it is separated by a channel of half a mile wide.
As early as 1834, an English lady, Mrs. Gutzlaff, wife of a missionary to China, came to Macao. Supported by the Ladies’ Association in London for the promotion of female education in India and the East, she immediately took up the work of starting a girls’ school for Chinese girls, which was soon followed by the opening of a boys’ school.
Mrs. Gutzlaff’s comprador (买办）happened to come from my village and was actually my father’s friend and neighbor. It was through him that my parents heard about Mrs. Gutzlaff’s school and it was doubtlessly through his influence and means that my father got me admitted into the school, It has always been a mystery to me why my parents should put me into a foreign school, instead of a traditional Confucian school, where my big brother was placed. Most certainly such a step would have been more suitable for Chinese public opinion, taste, and the wants of the country, than to allow me to attend an English school. Moreover, a Chinese belief is the only avenue in China that leads to political promotion, influence, power and wealth. I can only guess that as foreign communication with China was just beginning to grow, my parents hoped that it might be worthwhile to put one of their sons to learning English. In this way he might become an interpreter and have a more advantageous position to enter the business and diplomatic world. I am wondering if that influenced my parents to put me into Mrs. Gutzlaff’s school. As to what other sequences it has eventually brought about in my later life, they were entirely left in the hands of God.
1、How was the author admitted to Mrs. Gutzlaff’s school?
A．Through his father’s request.
B．Through his father’s friend’s help.
C．Through his own efforts at exams.
D．Through Mrs. Gutzlaff’s influence.
2、Why did the author’s parents put him into an English school?
A．It met with Chinese public opinion.
B．An English school was more influential.
C．He could become a successful interpreter.
D．Foreign trade with China was developing fast.
3、What did the author think of his parents’ decision to put him into an English school?
A．It was skeptical. B．It was wonderful.
C．It was thoughtful. D．It was mysterious.
4、What does the underlined word “sequences” in the last sentence probably mean?
A．Results. B．Orders.
C．Series. D．Progress.

第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节）第一节（每小题1分，满分20分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项．
As a child, I was always told to “eat my greens”. These were the unappealing vegetables that sat on the edge of my plate. Peas, and green beans, all looked and tasted 1 . Let’s face it, when there were so many other delicious treats to 2 , why eat boring vegetables?
Since then my taste buds have 3 and I’m also fully aware of the health benefits of eating fresh vegetables. But we still need 4 of the amazing goodness these green super foods give us.

That’s 6 evidence has shown there are significant health 7 to getting at least five 80g portions of a variety of fruit and vegetables every day.
But I struggle trying to fit these five portions into my daily 8 , partly because I have a sweet 9 and vegetables are, well, tasteless. Researchers have been 10 how to make eating vegetables more 11 . They analysed the psychology behind our food 12 and found that most of us are 13 by taste. Brad Turnwald from Stanford University says that “studies show that people 14 to think of healthier options as less tasty for some reason.”
In Europe, a project called VeggieEAT has also been trying to find ways to get people to 15 more vegetables. Project leader, Professor Heather Hartwell believes in 16 encouraging people into eating the right things. One idea has been to put a 17 of a tasty looking fruit on a supermarket trolley as a 18 about buying something from the fruit store. She says, “Choice is a really 19 thing. But making vegetables look attractive will increase their sales.”
Certainly, eating “twisted citrus-glazed carrots” does sound tempting, even if it just 20 like a carrot, but if it makes us eat more vegetables then that can only be a good thing for our health.
