第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分30分）
第一节（共10个小题；每小题2分，满分20分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
With fifteen years Britain and other nations should be well on with the building of huge industrial complexes (联合体) of the recycling of waste. The word “rubbish” could lose its meaning because everything that goes into the dumps would be made into something useful. Even the most dangerous and unpleasant wastes would provide energy if nothing else.
The latest project is to take a city of around half a million inhabitants and discover exactly what raw materials go into it and what go out. The aim is to find out how many of these raw materials could be provided if a plant for recycling waste were built just outside the city. This plant would recycle not only metal such as steel, lead and copper, but also paper and rubber as well.
Another new project is being set up to discover the best way of sorting and separating the rubbish. When this project is complete, the rubbish will be processed like this: First, it will pass through sharp metal bars which will tear open the plastic bags in which rubbish is usually packed; then it will pass through a powerful fan to separate the lightest elements from the heavy solids; after that founders and rollers will break up everything that can be broken. Finally, the rubbish will pass under magnets (磁铁), which will remove the bits of iron and steel; the rubber and plastic will then be sorted out in the final stage.
The first full-size giant recycling plants are perhaps fifteen years away. Indeed, with the
growing cost of transporting rubbish to more distant dumps, some big cities will be forced to build their own recycling plants before long.
21. The underlined part “should be well on with”（para.1）most probably means ____ . A．complete B．get ready to start C．achieve a great deal in D．put an end to
22. What is not mentioned as a part of the recycling process described in the third paragraph? A．Breaking up whatever is breakable. B．Sharpening metal bars. C．Separating light elements from the heavy ones. D．Sorting out small pieces of metal.
23. The main purpose of the passage is to ________. A. show us a future way of recycling wastes B. tell the importance of recycling plant C. warn people the danger of some wastes D. introduce a new recycling plant
B
American folk music is the music of the people. “Good Night Irene,” is an example of a traditional folk song. That means the song is so old, no one really knows who wrote it. Huddie Ledbetter, the singer and guitarist known as Ledbelly, first recorded “Good Night Irene” in 1932. Since then more than a hundred other versions have been recorded. “Good Night Irene,” was a huge hit for the Weavers in 1950.
Folk songs sometimes tell stories about real events. An example is the story of a young man whose last name was spelled D-U-L-A but pronounced “Dooley”. Tom Dula was a Civil War soldier in North Carolina. He was found guilty of the murder of his girlfriend. He was hanged in 1868, yet the case left many questions. The story was retold in poems and songs---including the hit song, “Tom Dooley,” recorded in 1958 by the Kingston Trio.
Folk singer and songwriter Amy Speace says the history of American folk music can be imagined as a tree with many branches. At the center, she says, is Woody Guthrie. Woody Guthrie wrote almost 3,000 songs. But he only recorded about 300 of them. His granddaughter Anna Canoni says that was partly because he did not have enough money to record more.
Yet for all his influence, millions of Americans today remember him for just one song, which children learned in school. The song, “This Land is Your Land,” seems like the perfect expression of pride in country. What many people do not know is that it was meant sarcastically, as just the opposite. This meaning is made clear later in the song, in the parts that most children never learn in school.
Some people probably think of a folk singer out of date from the 1960s. A long-haired, guitar-playing idealist sings about bringing the world together. But these days, with music production software, digital video and social networks all easily available, folk artists really can bring the world together.
24. What do we know about “Good Night Irene”? A. Ledbelly wrote this old song B. The Weavers’ version was very successful C. It was first recorded in 1950 D. It was about a real event 25. From Paragraph3 we can learn that Woody Guthrie _________. A. earned a lot by writing folk music
B. recorded as many as 3,000 songs in his life.
C. recorded his songs with a major record company D. played an important role in the history of folk music 26. What is the author’s attitude toward folk artists?
A. Favorable B. Uncaring C. Doubtful D. Critical
C
I don’t ever want to talk about being a woman scientist again. There was a time in my life when people asked constantly for stories about what it’s like to work in a field dominated by men. I was never very good at telling those stories because truthfully I never found them interesting. What I do find interesting is the origin of the universe, the shape of space-time and the nature of black holes.
At 19, when I began studying astrophysics, it did not bother me in the least to be the only woman in the classroom. But while earning my Ph.D. at MIT and then as a post-doctor doing space research, the issue started to bother me. My every achievement—jobs, research papers, awards—was viewed through the lens of gender (性别) politics. So were my failures. Sometimes, when I was pushed into an argument on left brain versus (相对于) right brain, or nature versus nurture (培育), I would instantly fight fiercely on my behalf and all womankind.
Then one day a few years ago, out of my mouth came a sentence that would eventually become my reply to any and all provocations(刺激): I don’t talk about that anymore. It took me 10 years to get back the confidence I had at 19 and to realize that I didn’t want to deal with gender issues. Why should curing sexism be yet another terrible burden on every female scientist After all, I don’t study sociology or political theory.
I research and teach at Barnard, a women’s college in New York City. Recently, someone asked me how many of the 45 students in my class were women. You cannot imagine my satisfaction at being able to answer, 45. I know some of my students worry how they will manage their scientific research and a desire for children. And I don’t dismiss those concerns. Still, I don’t tell them “war” stories. Instead, I have given them this: the visual of their physics professor heavily pregnant doing physics experiments. And in turn they have given me the image of 45 women driven by a love of science. And that’s a sight worth talking about.
27. Why doesn’t the author want to talk about being a woman scientist again?
A. She feels unhappy working in male-dominated fields. B. She is not good at telling stories of the kind. C. She is fed up with the issue of gender prejudice. D. She finds space research more important.
28. From Paragraph 2, we can infer that people would say the author’s failures were due to
________.
A. the burden she bears in a male-dominated society B. her involvement in gender politics
C. her over-confidence as a female astrophysicist D. the very fact that she is a woman
29. What did the author constantly fight against while doing her Ph.D. and post-doctoral research?
A. Lack of confidence in succeeding in space science.
B. People’s stereotyped (模式化的) attitude toward female scientists. C. Unfair accusations from both inside and outside her circle.
D. Widespread misconceptions about nature and nurture.
30. What does the image the author presents to her students suggest？
A. Women can balance a career in science and having a family. B. Women have more barriers on their way to academic success. C. Women students needn’t have the concerns of her generation. D. Women now have fewer problems pursuing a science career.
第二节（共5 个小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
根据短文内容， 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选许项中有两项为多余选项。
SCIENTISTS study it; an increasing number of self-help books tell us the way to find it. In fact, the pursuit of happiness has been called the ultimate (根本的) goal in life by countless talks, TV shows and newspaper and magazine columns.___31___
US psychologist Ed Diener, author of Happiness: Unlocking the Mysteries of Psychological Wealth, may have the answer: “a combination of life satisfaction and having more positive than negative emotions”. ___32___ And as The Washington Post argued in an article earlier this month, creating a definition of happiness that is true for people around the world can seem as difficult as being happy.
For example, who is happier: someone who has enough money to buy a new mobile phone or someone who has a family dinner after years away from home?
___33___The UN’s World Happiness Report 2015 shows that countries with the highest levels of happiness are developed ones, with Switzerland, Iceland and Denmark making up the top three. But on the other hand, Bhutan, one of the poorest countries in the world, was named the happiest country in Asia and the eighth happiest in the world in research by Business Week in 2012.
Perhaps the biggest problem is how the idea of “happiness” varies in different cultures and languages.
___34___ It might mean a brief mood you feel when someone surprises you with a gift or you think of friends and family. Or it could refer to satisfaction with your life. But not all languages refer to happiness the same way. In Danish, for example, happiness is often translated as “lykke”, a term that can describe everyday well-being that might come from a nice cup of coffee or a slice of bread with cheese.
In Chinese, the word for happiness is xingfu, which is used to describe a good life and a life with meaning. For a good mood, however, kuaile is used more often.
___35___ In China and many other Asian countries, social relationships, with family in particular, are one of the most important factors in a person’s well-being. So, are you happy? And what makes you happy?
A. However, happiness, as it was before, is still hard to find.
B. Therefore, happiness is what people are eager for all their lives C. But different people have different their own standards.
D. As The Washington Post noted, the word “happy” can refer to different things in English. E. Nevertheless , one of the most important parts of happiness is wealth.
F. However, this may sound straightforward enough, but it still doesn’t explain what determines people’s happiness.
G. Another difference in the perception (看法) of happiness is that Western countries tend to have
quite an “individualistic view of human life”.

第四节：概要写作（满分20分）
阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容摘要。
Architects have long had the feeling that the places we live in can affect our thoughts, feelings and behaviors. But now scientists are giving this feeling an empirical(经验的,实证的) basis. They are discovering how to design spaces that promote creativity, keep people focused and lead to relaxation.
Researches show that aspects of the physical environment can influence creativity. In 2007, Joan Meyers-Levy at the University of Minnesota, reported that the height of a room's ceiling affects how people think. Her research indicates that higher ceilings encourage people to think more freely,
which may lead them to make more abstract connections. Low ceilings, on the other hand, may inspire a more detailed outlook.
Besides ceiling height, the view afforded by a building may influence an occupant's ability to concentrate. Nancy Wells and her colleagues at Cornell University found in their study that kids who experienced the greatest increase in greenness as a result of a family move made the most gains on a standard test of attention.
Using nature to improve focus of attention ought to pay off academically. According to a study, students in classrooms with unblocked views of at least 50 feet outside the window had higher scores on tests of vocabulary, language arts and maths than students whose classrooms primarily overlooked roads and parking lots.
Recent study on room lighting design suggests than dim(暗淡的)light helps people to loosen up. If that is true generally, keeping the light low during dinner or at parties could increase relaxation.
So far scientists have focused mainly on public buildings. \"We have a very limited number of studies, so we're almost looking at the problem through a straw(吸管),\" architect David Allison says. \"How do you take answers to very specific questions and make broad, generalized use of them? That's what we're all struggling with.\"
