Explore China's Ancient Water Towns
Nanxun
This water town typically draws smaller crowds. The architecture is a unique mix of traditional Chinese and Western styles. As you walk along the ancient canals, you're likely to see locals playing cards or having tea outdoors. The town dates back to the Chunyou Period of the Song Dynasty, between the years of 1241 to 1252. Today, it's considered to be the best destination for weddings.
Tongli
Tongli is considered a mini Venice, with nearly every building on or by a canal. The town itself is composed of seven small islands, separated by 15 canals and joined by more than 40 bridges-plus, five lakes surround the town itself. Tongli is more than 1, 000 years old, and the oldest bridge in the town dates back to the Song Dynasty, which began in the year 960. Visitors here should check out the wedding museum, which has antique Chinese wedding clothes and items on display.
Zhouzhuang
This is the most famous and most commercialized ancient water town in China. The architecture here dates back more than 900 years, with about 60 original brick archways and 100 original courtyards. More recently, a tower called Quanfu Temple was built in 1987. Climb to the top to get the best view of the ancient town. Or for a more authentic experience, visit Chengxu Taoist Temple, which was built between 1086 and 1093. It's one of the most famous Taoist temples in the area.
Xitang
Xitang separates itself from other water towns with sheltered waterside streets, allowing locals and guests to comfortably walk alongside the canals even during the rainy season. Thanks to a less commercial atmosphere, visitors will be rewarded with opportunities that aren't likely to be found in other water towns-like fishing with locals on the canals and having dinner on a boat. Xitang is truly ancient, dating back to the Warring States Period of 476 BC to 221 BC.

As a child, I was proud of my southern origin. My own voice reflected my family's past and present-part northern Mississippi, part Tennessee, all southern. There was no sound I loved more than my grandmother's accent: thick, sweet, warm.
While growing up, I began to realize outside of our region, southerners were often dismissed as uncultured and ignorant. I was ready to leave behind my tiny town in West Tennessee, starting a new life and jumping at big chances in some far-off cities. In that embarrassing space between "teen" and “adult", my accent was a symbol of everything 1 thought I hated about my life in the rural South. I feared it would disqualify me from being a noted magazine writer. I would have to talk less “country”. So I killed a piece of myself. I'm ashamed of it, but I'm more ashamed that I tried to kill that part of someone else-change Emily's accent.
I met Emily in college. She was determined to work for the student newspaper, which was where I spent most of my waking hours, and we became friends. She, unlike me, accepted her roots. Early in our friendship, her mother asked where I was from, assuming it was somewhere up north. Then I felt my efforts paid off and even wanted to ignore the mistake.
Emily is two years younger and she cared about my opinion. I advised her to be more like me and hide her signature Manchester accent. I stressed that throughout our college years, often by making fun of her vowel (元音) sounds. I told myself I was helping her achieve her dream of working as a reporter. Now, I see that it was actually about justifying my hiding part of myself. Grandma Carolyn used to tell me, "Girl, don't forget where you come from. "Now I truly understand that. Many things have faded from memory, but this sticks in my mind with uncomfortable clarity. Now that I am grown and have left the South, it's important to me.
24. What made the author want to leave her hometown
A. Appeal of convenience in cities. B. Her dream of becoming a writer.
C. Outside prejudice against southerners. D. Her desire for the northern accent.
25. How did the author feel about the mistake of Emily's mother
A. Upset B. Pleased C. Ashamed D. Surprised
26. Why on earth did the author try to change Emily's accent
A. To help Emily be a reporter B. To prove herself right
C. To make herself influential D. To protect Emily's self-dignity
27. What message does the text want to convey
A. Never judge a person by his accent. B. Never do things by halves.
C. Hold on to your dreams. D. Stay true to your roots.
C
To nap or not to nap Whet her napping will work for you depends on a range of factors, such as lifestyle, sleep cycle length, culture, and, most importantly, the length of your snooze. If you like to nap, you are not alone. Napping is part of the culture in many countries: around 51 percent of people worldwide habitually enjoy 40 winks in the daytime.
When it comes to napping. one size definitely doesn't fit all. If you are sleep deprived, a nap can be helpful or even essential for making it through the day. However, for those with other sleep issues, a nap may make it harder to fall asleep at night. For most of us, the timing and length of our nap will largely determine how beneficial it is to our sleep routine.
Between 1 p. m. and 4 p. m., most people experience an increase in sleepiness, triggered by a slight drop in core body temperature. A nap of 30 minutes or less around this time allows you to benefit from a burst of Stage I and II sleep,which is good for mental and physical alertness (警觉).
Napping for 30 minutes or less can reduce stress and lower the risk of cardiovascular (心血管的) problems like heart attacks and strokes. One study showed that napping three times a week for 30 minutes led to a 37 percent decreased risk of dying from heart disease.
A brief nap can be beneficial for those with excessive daytime sleepiness, including people suffering from sleep apnea (呼吸暂停) or narcolepsy (嗜睡症), shift workers,and people with jet lag (时差反应). Studies show that short naps can help improve or reset a disrupted circadian rhythm (昼夜节律).
Naps can interfere with insomnia (失眠) treatment, which involves restricting daytime sleep to increase the likelihood of sleeping solidly at night.
Be cautious about naps of more than 30 minutes. Waking from the deep-sleep stages results in sleep inertia (惯性), a super-dizzy state where brainwaves are slow and it takes longer to adjust to the awake state.
A recent study has found that napping for more than 60minutes a day increased the risk of type 2 diabetes by 50 percent.
28. Whether a nap is needed is determined mainly by ________.
A. your living habit B. your sleep-wake circle
C. the society you're in D. period of time in sleeping
29. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 2 mean
A. A nap benefits all the people. B. A nap works on one with sleep problems.
C. Not all the people fit napping. D. A nap works for you if you're lacking sleep.
30. Which of the following statements is true
A. Napping 60 minutes a day tends to trigger certain disease.
B. A 30-minute napping results in longer time to keep awake.
C. Napping less than 30 minutes ensures you refreshed after wake.
D. Improper length of napping leads to sleep disorder.
31. What is a suitable title for the text
A. A Boost for Sleeping B. Napping: Harmful or Helpful
C. The Timing of a Nap D. A New Trend of Napping
D
Biophilic design (亲生物设计) is a concept used within the building industry to increase people's connection with the natural environment by using direct nature, indirect nature, space, and place conditions. It is argued that this idea has health, environmental, and economic benefits for building occupants (居住者) and urban environments, with few drawbacks. Although its name was coined in recent history, indicators of biophilic design have been seen in architecture from as far back as the Hanging Gardens of Babylon.
Studies show that incorporating the natural environment into buildings can have a positive influence on physical and psychological well-being.
Studies by Roger S. Ulrich have consistently found physical health promoting outcomes associated with viewing nature scenes through windows. In his studies, he assessed patients' recovery from surgery. Half the patients had rooms with a view of green trees while the others saw a brick wall. Patients in the rooms with the nature view stayed in the hospital for fewer days and had a more positive recovery process in general than the patients who had a view of the wall. Similar results were found in a field study of office workers by Rachel Kaplan.
Additionally, children in low-income urban housing who had problems with learning because of being unable to pay attention to things for very long showed improved scores on a standardised measure of attention deficit disorder (注意力缺陷障碍) when they moved to houses with more outdoor natural vegetation.
From an economic aspect, people are likely to spend more on houses that have views of nature; buyers are willing to spend 7% more on homes with excellent scenery, 58% more on houses that look toward water, and 127% more on those that are next to water.
Appreciating natural beauty isn't something that some people can enjoy and others can't; it happen without effort or even conscious awareness. So the more our buildings can make use of our ancient sense beauty, the more likely they will support us psychologically and emotionally, as well as functionally.
32. What do we know about biophilic design
A. It originated in Babylon. B. It has no disadvantages.
C. It rarely uses indirect nature. D. It enjoys a long history.
33. What does the underlined word "incorporating" probably mean in paragraph 2
A. Including. B. Transforming. C. Pouring. D. Folding.
34. How does the author show people's preference for nature in paragraph 5
A. By giving examples. B. By conducting surveys.
C. By listing figures. D. By analyzing causes.
35. Which of the following shows the structure of the text
A. B. C. D.
(I=Introduction; P=Point; Sp=Sub-point; C=Conclusion)

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
The way we watch television has changed, as many of us no longer follow the old model of television. In the past,a new episode (集) of a show was released once a week. 36 People,therefore,have created a new term:binge-watching (狂欢式刷剧). It is used to describe the behavior of watching many episodes of a whole series in a row.
37 In fact, a 2018 Morning Consult poll (民意调查) found that 60 percent of American adults who watched shows binge-watched. The percentage even increased among younger audiences. 38
Of course, every new cultural behavior has its accompanying health consequences. What is binge-watching doing to our health 39 They sent an 18-question survey to 926 adults who owned a television and at least one other device with a screen. They found that heavy screen time users averaged 17.5 hours of screen-use every day. They also reported that this group's health condition was worse than light users.
Interestingly, researchers also discovered a connection between binge-watching and greater stress. The result is surprising. 40 It might have been believed that people are turning to binge-watching to deal with anxiety and stress. However, that's not the case. It could be the case that people will suffer from greater stress if watching more shows continuously.
A. Every new cultural behavior has its own causes.
B. Nowadays, binge-watching is a common behavior. 3
C. Now, many companies release a whole series at once.
D. People are more stressed out if they're binge-watching.
E. Researchers at Arizona State University wanted to figure this out.
F. 73 percent of 18-to-29-year-olds binge-watched at least once a week.
G. Researchers identified binge-watchers by asking how long they watched television.

第二节(满分25分)
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。When my daughters reached the third and fourth grades, I sometimes allowed them to walk to and from school alone if the weather permitted. One warm spring day, a little dog followed them home after school. It had short legs and lovely long ears. It was the cutest dog I had ever seen and the girls begged me to keep it.
The dog was about twelve weeks old. It had no collar (项圈) or identifying marks of any sort. I didn't know what to do. I thought about posting an advertisement but I really didn't want to. It would break the kids' hearts if someone should show up. Besides, its owner should have watched it more closely.
By the end of the week the dog was part of our family. It was very intelligent and good with the girls. The following week something told me to check the lost and found section in the local paper. One particular advertisement jumped out at me and my heart beat with fear for what I read. Someone was begging for the return of a lost dog in the neighborhood of our grade school.
They sounded extremely eager. My hand shook and I couldn't bring myself to pick up the paper. Instead, I pretended I hadn't seen the advertisement. I quickly put the paper away in the drawer and continued with my dusting. I never said a word about it to the kids or my husband. By now we had named the dog. It looked like a Molly, so that was what we called it. It followed the girls everywhere they went. When they went outside, it was one step behind them. When they did the housework, it was there to lend a hand. There was only one problem with this seemingly perfect picture:my conscience (良心) was bothering me. I knew in my heart I had to call that number in the paper and see if our Molly was the dog they were desperately seeking. It was the most difficult thing I had ever done.

32.D推断题。根据第一段中的 “Although its name was coined in recent history...as far back as the Hanging Gardens of Babylon”可知,虽然“亲生物设计”这个名字是在近代被提出来的,但从很早以前的古巴比伦的空中花园开始就已经可以看见建筑中使用亲生物设计了。因此亲生物设计这种理念历史悠久。易错点拨主观臆断—部分考生看到 “from as far back as. . . Babylon”就误把古巴比伦当成了亲生物设计的发源地,其实这只是考生自己的推测,文章并没有提到与亲生物设计的起源相关的内容,故可排除A项。
33.A 理解词汇题。解题步骤如下:
①明题意 本题问的是“第二段中的画线词 incorporating 可能是什么意思”。②寻线索。第二至四段是总分结构,第二段提出观点,第三、四段围绕这一观点展开论述。结合第三、四段的内容可知,第二段是在说研究表明,将自然环境融入建筑可以对身体和心理健康产生积极影响。故画线词的意思是“包含,把……包括在内”。

34.C 推断题。根据第五段中的“spend 7% more on homes with excellent scenery, 58% more on houses that look toward water, and 127%more on those that are next to water”可知,作者通过列数据的方 法展现了人们对自然的偏爱。
35.B 理解文章结构题。第一段引出本文话题,是Introduction。第二段是Point 1,介绍亲生物设计
对人们的身体和心理健康有好处。第三段是Sub-point 1,介绍亲生物设计对身体健康的影响。第四段是 Sub-point 2,介绍亲生物设计对心理健康的影响。第五段是Point 2,从经济角度说明人们对自然景观的喜爱。第六段总结上文,是Conclusion。

第一节
Dear Nancy,
I am very glad to receive your E-mail. I am very grateful to you and your family for taking care of me during my study tour in the UK. And wish you all the best.
Now that I have finished my high school studies, my parents and I are going to travel to Beijing. I'm going to Tian 'anmen to see the flag raising and climb the Great Wall. In addition, I want to go to Qinghua Garden to enjoy the elegant demeanor (风范) of famous universities. I have decided to register for the computer major. With the rapid development of the Internet industry, the high-paying employment in IT industry attracts more and more people to join the Internet tide. Before choosing, consult people engaged in this major or go to training institutions for consultation. Only with a clear goal will we have targeted learning in the future, which will be more efficient.
Yours,
Li Jin
第二节
With mixed feelings, I finally picked up the phone. With butterflies in my stomach, I dialed the telephone number. Secretly I prayed no one would answer, but someone did. The voice on the other end was that of a young woman. After hearing my description of the dog in detail, she immediately wanted to come over. I said that my daughters loved it very much and meanwhile apologized for not having contacted her earlier. 30 minutes later, the bell rang and Molly was barking. I opened the door, forcing myself to face it.
I asked the woman to come in and she quickly bent over and hugged Molly tightly. Molly started wagging its tail and barking excitedly. The woman told me that she couldn't sleep well without Molly and expressed her sincere gratitude to us for keeping her dog for these days. She offered to give me some cash as a reward, but I refused. She promised she would bring Molly to our home at weekends now that it had been our family's friend. After she took Molly away, I cracked a smile. I knew I had done the right thing that the puppy was exactly where it belonged now.
