Taken together, thesefactorscanresult inhyper-localizeddifferences in the heat feltthroughouta city, whichin turncan have a big effect on whos mostthreatenedbyheatwaves. That is why citizenscientists are starting tomapthe urban heat island effect.Later this month, a team of researchers and about 20volunteerswillspread out across Washington D.C. and Baltimore to take the cities temperatures.Equippedwithinstrumentsthatrecordtemperaturedataevery second, theyll drive orbikethe same route three times to create a snapshot(快照)of how temperaturesvarythroughout the day. Those snapshots will then becollectedto producedetailedmaps of heat differences.“If similar researchconductedinRichmond,Virginialast July is anyguide, those differences can be quite large. Temperatures in moreindustrialparts of Richmond reached 102F (38.9C) on the same day that a nearby shade-filled parktopped outat 87F (30.6C)”, said Jeremy Hoffman, a researcher with the Science Museum of Virginia.Based on the data collected throughout Richmond last year,project member Vivek Shandas at Portland State University and his colleagues were able to produce maps of urban heat across the city as well as heat vulnerability(脆弱性), whichtakessocioeconomic differencesinto account. Those maps are now being used toinforma citywidemaster planupdateand a climate resilience(复原)plan.Shandas and Hoffman plan to produce similar maps from this months campaignsin D.C. and Baltimore.Finally, the two are hoping toscale upthis effort even further. Shandas said he wish to create an off-the-shelfset ofguidelinesthat any city can use tolaunchits own heat island campaign andgeneratecitywide temperature maps.Hoffman sees this as a way to help people torelateclimate change to their own lives, and then actually do something about it.The volunteersserve asafeedbackmechanismto spread the findings, he said. We can do heat islandassessmentsusingsatellites, but we want a team of volunteersmeasuringtemperatures in their neighborhoodsto gain a better understanding of where they live.25. The heat differences throughout the city result from the following factors except .A. height of buildings B. usage of land C. layout of streets D. social economy26. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. In Richmond, the difference of temperature between industrial parts and the nearby park can reach 15C on the same day.B. The maps of heat differences across Richmond make little contributions to the city plans.C. The researchers will appoint volunteers to take the temperatures in D.C. and Baltimore to cut down the expense.D. Producing the maps of heat differences is a good way to help people take action to reduce the threat of heatwaves27. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “off-the-shelf” in paragraph 5?A. superb B. available C. tough D. randomCAlison Malmon was pleting the end of her freshman year at the University of Pennsylvania, US, when she got the news: Her older brother Brian, a student at Columbia University, was suffering from mental illness. Influenced by this, Malmon formed a group at her university to enable students to talk openly about mental health. It soon blossomed into a national organization that today has more than 450 campus chapters. Leaders with the organization spend their time talking with college students about the pressure that todays young people face. “What you hear often is just a need to be perfect,” said Malmon, “and a need to present oneself as perfect.” And a new study in the UK proved that this need for perfectionism is simply part of todays society. In the study, two researchers studied more than 40,000 students from the US, Canada, and the UK. They found that what they called “socially-prescribed (社会定向型的) perfectionism” increased by a third between 1989 and xx. Lead researcher Thomas Curran said that while so many of todays young people try to present a perfect appearance online, social media isnt the only reason behind this trend. Instead, he said, it may be driven by petition in modern society, meaning young people cant avoid being sorted and ranked in both education and employment. That es from new norms (准则) like greater numbers of college students, standardized testing and parenting that increasingly emphasizes success in education. For example, in 1976, half of high school seniors expected to get a college degree of some kind. By xx, more than 80 percent expected the same. The researchers also said changes in parenting styles over the last two decades might have had an impact. As parents feel increased pressure to raise successful children, they in turn pass their “achievement anxieties” onto their kids through “excessive (过多的) involvement in their childs routines, activities or emotions.” Those in the mental health munity like Malmon say theyre concerned about the impact the culture of perfectionism has on mental health on campuses. “Mental health has truly bee this generations social justice issue,” she said. “Its our job to equip them with the tools and to let people know that its not their fault.”28. What is the article mainly about?A. The effects of the culture of perfectionism.B. Research into the trend of perfectionism.C. A group dedicated to helping people stay mentally healthy.D. Various pressures that todays young people are facing.29. What inspired Alison Malmon to start a group related to mental health?A. Her brothers mental illness.B. Her project during the freshman year.C. The pressure she had experienced.D. Her strong interest in mental health.30. What may be pushing todays young people to struggle to be perfect, according to the article?a. The impact of social media.b. Parents high expectations of their children.c. The decreasing number of college students.d. The fierce petition in society.e. Their desire to draw their parents attention.A. a, b, c B. a, d, e C. a, b, d D. b, c, e31. What does Malmon think is a way to help young people manage the pressure of perfectionism?A. Enabling them to know what is to blame for their pressure.B. Lowering their expectations of themselves.C. Reducing parents involvement in their childrens life.D. Making them aware of what true social justice is.DIn xx, a small team of Amazon employees had been working for a few years on a new e-book reader project called Kindle. Its now been a decade since Amazon unveiled the first Kindle to the world, selling out its initial inventory in less than six hours. Since then, the device has torn through the publishing industry. “Kindle” has bee a platform, not a device. It entered the market and pletely took up it.The Kindle team always has two goals: to perfectly imitate a paper book, and to extend and improve the reading experience. Thats what readers want, too. In a world filled with distractions and notifications and devices that do everything, the Kindles lack of features bees its greatest benefit.But readers also want to read everywhere, in places and ways a paperback cant manage. They want more tools, more features, more options, more stuff to do. Amazons still working out how to satisfy both sides. Whatever route it takes, the next decade of Kindle is likely to be even more disruptive than the last. First it changed the book business. Next it might help change books themselves.For a decade, Amazons constantly offered new ways for people to read books. But as platforms change, books havent, and the inpatibility(不相容) is beginning to show.The next phase for the digital book seems likely to not resemble print at all. Instead, the next step is for authors, publisher, and readers to take advantage of all the tools available now and figure out how to reinvent reading. Amazon and the book world are beginning to figure out whats possible.Future users might flip between reading and listening with the touch of a button, ask a digital assistant for more information on the plot or the feelings of the characters, texting with characters themselves, going to important real-world locations to start a chapter or find a clue and even helping write the narrative. 32. What is the biggest advantage of the Kindle?A. Reading experience.B. Books themselves.C. Simple features.D. Many functions.33. According to the underlined part, the next decade of Kindle is likely to_A. Cause more changes.B. Destroy the book world.C. Kill print books.D. Fail to satisfy readers needs.34. What will the Kindle team probably do next?A. They will imitate a paper book.B. They will invent more functions.C. They will change book business.D. They will explore new reading experience around books.35. Among all the future readers might do, which one of the following isnt mentioned in the last paragraph?A. write a story.B. switch from reading to listening.C. chat with characters.D. watch a video about the plot.第二节(共5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, 选项中有两项为多余选项。Listening to happy music at work can help you plete tasks more quickly, especially if youre doing something repetitive such as checking e-mail or filing documents. _36_. Cornell University researchers also found that upbeat tunes help workers cooperate and make group decisions that contribute to the good of the team.Music decreases levels of the stress hormone cortisol just as well as massage therapy does, according to a small xx study. Scientists randomly assigned anxious patients to listen to music either during massage therapy or while lying in a dim room._37_._38_. After surgery, it helps reduce pain. An analysis of 73 studies published in the Lancet in xx confirmed that listening to music before, during, or after surgery improves anxiety and pain levels, which in turn means less pain medication.People e up with more creative solutions when they listen to happy, upbeat music than when they sit in silence, according to researchers from the Netherlands and Australia. It may be because music improves your brains flexibility or because it relaxes you enough for the creative juices to flow. 39 ; research also has found that moderate(适度的) volume provides the creativity sweet spot.Whether youre running, biking, or walking, youll go farther if you pump up the jams, studies have found. _40_. The effect is so great that the author of a xx review examining the psychological effects of music on exercise called music “a type of legal performance-enhancing drug.”Maybe youve heard about Alzheimers patients ing alive when they hear a song from their past. Studies show that music helps them retrieve memories, municate more effectively, and remember who they are.A. After three months those who just listened to music experienced the same drop in anxiety as those also got massagesB. One study showed that the accuracy and efficiency of surgeons improved when they worked with the music of their choice in the backgroundC. Music has been used to heal for centuries, and now were learning why it worksD. Music distracts you from your disfort and motivates you to stay with the beatE. But dont play the music too loudlyF. Listening to music before surgery has been shown to ease anxiety and limit the need for sedatives(镇静剂)G. Time does fly when youre listening to music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, 从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中, 选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。It was my first year of graduate school and my professor was standing on the platform.
