People have dinner parties in my nest. They read and relax in themSome of my nests even have several rooms. My nests are even used as hotel rooms SA: How do you make a nest？ JF：First, I make a design for the nest. Then I review the design with my client（客户）After the design is final, I collect wood and work with a team to build it SA：What do you use to make your nests？ JF：I use eucalyptus（按树）wood, which is soft and easy to bend when it is young and freshly cut. But when it dries, it becomes extremely hard. So it holds its shape and can support weight. But the structures strength also comes from the engineering - how I weave the wood, and how I join major sections by bolting（用螺栓固定）them together SA：What makes a great nest design？ JF：Placement is importantThe lines of the branches（树枝） create movement and energy，resulting in a cleaner, simpler background - such as smooth stone or the sky - which really fits the nest. For me, its all about balance. SA：What skills do you need for your job？ JF：You have to be able to draw and use different artistic tools. But you also have to know how to speak to people - your clients and the people who work for you SA：What inspires you？ IF：I love to see how other artists, like Andy Goldsworthy, take common and natural materials and make something special with them SA：What is the best part of your job？ JF： I get to be creative in a way that doesnt harm the environment!21.

There has long been an opinion that money buys happiness. However, although we really, really tired that for a couple of generations, it didnt work, said Francine Jay, author of The Joy of Less, A Minimalist Living Guide: How to Declutter, Organize, and Simplify Your Life Thanks to a travel- inspired revelation （启发）, Jay has been happily living a simpler life for 12years.I always packed as lightly as possible, and found it exhilarating （令人高兴的） to get by with just a small carry-on bag， she told CNN I thought if it feels this great to travel lightly, how amazing would it be to live this way? I wanted to have that same feeling of freedom in my everyday life Jay decided to get rid of all her excess（额外的） possessions and live with just the essentials.I wanted to spend my time and energy on experiences, rather than things Jay is a follower of a movement called minimalism（极简主义）”. Growing numbers of people have been attracted to this lifestyle all over the world. They share the same feeling of disappointment with modern life and a desire to live more simply. Minimalists are typically progressive and concerned about the environment, Leah Watkins, a lead researcher at Otago University in New Zealand, told Stuff magazine in March. But many simply experienced unhappiness caused by owning too many possessions. Depression with the materialism of our world isnt new. English romantic poet Willian Wordsworth summed up how dispiriting this was back in 1802, at the beginning of the industrial age, when he wrote：Getting and spending, we lay waste our powers. His preference was to go back to nature. Closer to our own times, the hippies（嬉皮士）of the 1960s also sought to drop out of modern life And for many minimalists, their key is to unload. Without objects, they believe people are forced more and more into the present moment and thats where life happens. wrote Stuff. But does simplicity ever feel like a sacrifice? Its eliminating the excess-unused items，unnecessary purchases-from your life. Well, I may have fewer possessions, but I have more spaceMinimalism is making room for what matters most, said Jay And the real questions”, according to Duane Elgin, US social scientist, are what do you care about?” and What do you value? He told CNN: It is important for people to realize minimalism isnt simply the amount of stuff we consume. It is about our families，our work, our connection with the larger world, our spiritual dimension. It is about how we touch the whole world. It is a way of life28. What inspired Francine Jay to live a simple life? _ A. A book she came acrossB. A follower of minimalism she met on a tripC. The pleasure she enjoyed from traveling lightlyD. Her desire to keep up with modern life29. The underlined word eliminating in the second-to-last paragraph probably means _ A. removingB. distinguishingC. acceptingD. improving30. Which of the following would Duane Elgin probably agree with? _ A. Minimalism is a healthy lifestyle that is in conflict with modern lifeB. Minimalism means people have to sacrifice some pleasure to live simplyC. Minimalism limits peoples freedom to enjoy their lives to the fullestD. Minimalism enables people to reflect on what truly counts in their lives31. What was the authors main purpose in writing the text? _ A. To argue whether money buys happinessB. To recommend one of Francine Jays booksC. To explore the trend of minimalismD. To give tips on how to lead a happy lifeDBrian Green, a professor of physics and mathematics at Columbia University，has created an online science education platform. He tries to build a bridge with things you know about，and then bring you across that bridge to the strange place of modern physics. Recently I had a chance to ask Greene about wormholes (a hole which some scientists think might exist，connecting parts of space and time that are not usually connected)，time travel and other mysteries of the universeI asked him a million-dollar question：What if I went through a wormhole and prevented my parents from meeting? Most of us believe that the universe makes sense，Greene saidAlthough there are several interesting theories about time travel，he added，the laws of physics would probably prevent something so illogical from taking placeThe good news is that the time paradox (悖论) is open for future physicists to solve When asked how physics could become more exciting for kids，Greene said that books by Stephen Weinberg，Leonard Susskind，and other physicists，make it a great time for people who want to learn about big ideas but arent yet ready，perhaps，to learn math When I pointed out that some students still might find physics boring，Greene said that the key is to teach them about things that are strangeThe basic stuff is important，Greene saidBut I think its really important to also describe the more modern ideas，things like black holes and the Big Bang. If kids have those ideas in mind，then at least some of them will be excited to learn all the details” Greene has followed Albert Einsteins lead in trying to solve the mysteries of the universeNow he wants kids to do the sameAs Greene said，physics is not just a matter of solving problems in an exam “Its about experimenting，showing an interest in strange phenomena (现象)-and having fun!”32. A million-dollar question is probably very _ A. directB. difficultC. personalD. long33. The books by Weinberg and Susskind _ A. are boring to readB. are mainly about mathC. are popular science booksD. are only popular among kids34. According to Paragraph 4，which of the following does Greene agree with? _ A. Modern physics is a boring subjectB. Interest plays an important role in studyingC. It is not necessary to learn all about physicsD. It is easy to describe black holes and the Big Bang35. In the last paragraph，Greene hopes that _ A. kids can love science and physicsB. kids can do well in physics examsC. kids can have fun with experimentsD. kids can find more strange things in life第二节 七选五(共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分)Some people lie all the time. However, it can be difficult to determine when they are lying to you36 Make false eye contact A person who is lying to you wont make eye contact with you or they make too much eye contact. If a person is lying he may feel you are watching him and he will look down at the floor or away from your eyes. Some people try to stare at you in the face in a deliberate way 37 A void using contractions （缩略语） The liars will say I did NOT notice your money, instead of I didnt notice your money. This is an attempt by the liars to be absolutely clear what they mean. 38 39 Liars often feel uneasy, turn away from the person to whom they are speaking, blink rapidly， smile less and have pitch changes in their tone of voice They may cross their arms which is a sign of being closed or trying not to reveal too much information They could touch parts of their face, an ear or a nose or play with keys or another item that they have in their hand Provide additional information without being asked for it 40 . The result is the more complicated the story is, the less believable it will be. You will have the feeling that nothing could be further from the truth A. Usually, it ends up making the story a lot less believable B. Luckily there are always some indications that can help you recognize liars CUse unusual body language DBehave abruptly ELiars seem to think that by telling their story in detail, you will find it more believable FLiars try to talk the story with their own words using imagination G. In this way, they feel like making eye contact will make what they are saying more believable第三部分 英语知识运用 (共两节 满分45分)第一节 完形填空(共20小题，每小题1.5分，满分30分)阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从36至55各个题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。What are you most afraid of？A few years ago，I thought of the scariest thing I could do，and then I made myself do it!
