games, she was working at a petrol station. when other teens were studying or going out, she struggled to find a place to sleep on the street. but she overcame these terrible setbacks to win a highly competitive scholarship and gain entry to harvard university. and her amazing story has inspired a movie, “homeless to harvard: the liz murray story” shown in late april.liz murray, a 22yearold american girl, has been writing a reallife story of willpower and determination. liz grew up in the shadow of two drugaddicted parents. there was never enough food or warm clothes in the house. liz was the only member of the family who had a job. her mother had aids and died when liz was just 15 years old. the effect of that loss became a turning point in her life. connecting the environment in which she had grown up with how her mother had died, she decided to do something about it.liz went back to school. she threw herself into her studies, never telling her teachers that she was homeless. at night, she lived on the streets. “what_drove_me_to_live_on_had_something_to_do_with_understanding,_by_understanding_that_there_was_a_whole_other_way_of_being._i_had_only_experienced_a_small_part_of_the_society，” she wrote in her book breaking night.she admitted that she used envy to drive herself on. she used the benefits that come easily to others, such as a safe living environment, to encourage herself that “next to nothing could hold me down”. she finished high school in just two years and won a full scholarship to study at harvard university, but liz decided to leave her top university a couple of months earlier this year in order to take care of her father, who has also developed aids. “i love my parents so much. they are drug addicts. but i never forget that they love me all the time.”liz wants moviegoers to

encourage herself that “next to nothing could hold me down”可知，意志力和决心让她不退缩，是取得成功的关键。7. b推理判断题。根据句中所述，liz murray认为过什么样的生活要靠自己的理解，真正让她前进的是一种生活方式，这就要靠自己去奋斗，也就是为自己的生活而努力。 cit is widely acknowledged that cities with some kind of functioning ecosystems make for better place for humans to live. more plants and animals in cities make for happier, healthier people.a study conducted on green spaces in sheffield，england, for instance, revealed that the greater the biodiversity (生物多样性), the greater the psychological wellbeing (健康) of the citys citizens. in paris, researchers found that getting citizens to take part in daylong activities involving urban wildlife opened their eyes to the natural world for a time, at least.few cities have been associated with urban ecology for as long as berlin. “slow economic recovery after the second world war meant that reconstruction would take a long time. this provided local ecologists with the ideal conditions to develop an ambitious ecological research program in the bombedout wastelands of west berlin，” said jens lachmund, a sociologist at the university of maastricht in the netherlands.the pioneering work in berlin had several consequences, especially the formation of significant natural spaces within the city, such as the sdgel?nde nature park. “berlin has indeed benefited a lot from being a case study in urban ecology，” said lachmund.the recent research conducted by mark goddard, a biologist at the university of leeds, and his colleagues confirmed the importance of natural space within an urban setting. goddard and his team conducted a striking global analysis of bird and plant diversity, quantifying the influence of urbanization on levels of biodiversity around the world. “functioning urban ecosystems will be extremely important to human health and wellbeing，” said goddard.cities take up just 3% of the land surface area, yet according to the most recent figure from the united nations, some 3.6 billion people (just over 50% of the global population) now live in urban areas. by 2050, this figure is expected to rise to 6.3 billion. without animals and plants to keep us company, it is a dark future.8. the findings in paragraph 2 are mentioned to explain the link between_a. citizens and their wellbeingb. green spaces and urban wildlifec. urban ecology and citizens wellbeingd. functioning ecosystems and the natural world9. what would be goddards attitude towards berlins work?a. cautious. b. negative.c. uncaring. d. admiring.10. the author uses figures in the last paragraph to show_a. the negative effect of over populationb. the important of urban ecosystemsc. the serious problems of city lifed. the rapid growth of urban areas11. which of the following can be the best title for text?a. should more people live in urban areas?b. should berlin have more natural spaces?c. should cities be for animals and plants too?d. should the global population be controlled now?【语篇解读】本文主要讲了生态系统对人类的重要性。以柏林为例说明城市生态系统能够让人们睁眼认识自然而城市也在生态系统建设中受益颇深。借助lachmund和goddard的话告诉人们没有动物和植物来陪伴我们，我们的未来将是黑暗的。8. c细节理解题。根据第二段第二句可知，在巴黎， 研究人员发现，让公民参加为期一天的活动涉及城市野生动植物活动，至少在一段时间内，让他们的目光投向了自然界。所以可以看出是关于城市生态系统与人类行为的发现，故选c。9. d推理判断题。根据第四段可知，柏林建立了自然空间内的城市。第五段第一句话说明在mark goddard最近的研究中，利兹大学的生物学家和他的同事们证实了城市中自然空间的重要性。后文也说了城市生态系统功能对人类的健康极其重要。所以可以看出goddard对berlins work的态度是钦佩的，故选d。10. b推理判断题。根据最后一段可知，城市人口将会越来越多，而城市的占地面积只有百分之三，所以说明了城市生态系统的重要性，故选b。11. c标题归纳题。根据文章最后一段最后一句话可知，没有植物和动物的陪伴，未来将是黑暗的。故以should cities be for animals and plants too? 为题更合适。而且文章是讲生态系统对人类的重要性，生态系统包括植物和动物，故选c。deven when youre extremely busy, you arent using your time with 100% efficiency. there are gaps in everyones schedule where they arent doing anything important. even if your schedule has no gaps, there is probably lots of time where you arent working as fast or as effectively as you possibly could.why arent you completely efficient? its because time isnt the limiting factor. if it were the limiting factor, people could work nonstop without breaks or any unproductive distractions. instead, people, even those who are highly productive, need to take breaks, occasionally procrastinate(拖延) and slow down on tasks throughout the day.the real and most important limiting factor for productivity is your energy levels to pay attention. energy levels limit your productivity because when youre tired, you can have ample time and still not get everything done. your attention ability is also limited, because even if there are a million things that need to be done, you can only focus on one or two at a time.you might not be able to insert another 45 hours into your schedule without making some sacrifices. but even extremely busy people can add an hour or two into their schedule without cancelling anything. the reason its hard to “find time” isnt a lack of time. its because you dont have enough energy left to focus on something else that needs to fit into your day.i first suspected time wasnt the real problem during an extremely busy period in my life over a year ago. i was insanely busy, but at that time i still exercised regularly. i had dailytodo lists with over twenty items, and i still found time to exercise. however, after a few weeks off, due to illness, i stopped exercising. i was not busy by any standards, in fact, my schedule was incredibly light. despite this free time, i found it hard to find time to exercise. it seemed to get pushed later and later into my schedule until it was gone. how can i explain this odd experience? i believe you have known it.12. if someone cant work with 100% efficiency, the most important limiting factor is _a. a schedule without gaps b. breaks and distractionsc. the limited time d. the limited energy13. according to paragraph 4, everyone, including the extremely busy people, can _a. work without any rest b. focus on many things at a timec. find some more time in a dayd. do some exercise regularly14. after a few weeks off, what was the change of the writers life?a. he had a longer dailytodo list with over twenty items.b. he stopped doing exercise because of the lack of energy.c. he found it hard to find time to exercise because he was busier.d. he pushed most of the things later and later in his schedule.15. the writer gives the example of himself in the last paragraph in order to _a. prove what the real limiting factor isb. show us how busily he needs to workc. explain how important a healthy body isd. tell us what an odd experience he has 【语篇解读】作者认为导致一个人不能做到工作效率达到100%的最重要的限制因素是人有限的精力。12. d细节理解题。根据第三段中的the real and most important limiting factor for productivity is your energy levels to pay attention可知，导致一个人不能做到工作效率达到100%的最重要的限制因素是人的有限的精力，故选d。13. c细节理解题。根据第四段中的but even extremely busy people can add an hour or two into their schedule without cancelling anything可知，即使很忙的人也能在一天里挤出一些时间，故选c。14. b推理判断题。从最后一段的句子可知，作者在休息一段时间后，因为生病不再锻炼了，主要是因为他缺乏精力，故选b。15. a推理判断题。作者是用自己的例子来证明真正限制人的因素是什么。 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。 master
