a. to stress the necessity of building more cities. b. to show the urgency of considering kids in urban planning. c. to illustrate the changes of urban population. d. to promote childrens awareness of self-protection.31. what is the text mainly about? a. the appeal for a child-friendly city.b. challenges facing urban children. c. difficulties in city planning.d. problems in modern cities.din an apartment, people are having a party. theyre smiling and chatting with each other; theyre drinking cocktails and enjoying snacks. but the mood lighting is a bit strange. no candles or twinkling christmas lights here. instead, the light comes from enormous green-glowing plants in the center of the table.this is a model inside a museum in new york. the “people” are small silver statues. but the plants are real. theyre watercress planted with nanoparticles (纳米粒) that turn their stored energy into light. its a technologydeveloped several years agoby mit chemical engineer michael strano. now, strano has partnered with an architect, sheila kennedy, to explore how these plants might be a central part of our homes and sustainable energy future. the plants in the exhibit are newer versions. their glow is based on an enzyme (酶) called luciferase, which is what gives fireflies their light. strano and his colleagues first put luciferase and two molecules (分子) that allow it to work inside a nanoparticle carrier. they then immersed plants in a liquid containing the particles, and added high pressure. the pressure pushed the particles into the leaves through tiny pores (气孔).“for the last two decades, plants have been a part of architecture, but theyve always been used as green walls or roofs,” kennedy says. however, the plants in kennedys models fill entire rooms, their leaves and stems going wherever they choose. for her, this project was an interesting design challenge. she and her team had to figure out how to bring in sufficient water and where to contain enormous amounts of soil.the team is currently working on making the plants brighter and fixing light particles in larger plants such as trees. theyre also eager to extend the duration of a plants light from hours to days or weeks.32. what is special about the apartment according to the first two paragraphs?a. plants provide mood lighting for it.b. it is powered by nanoparticles.c. real people are enjoying themselves in it.d. it is modeled after a real one.33. what is the third paragraph mainly about?a. what the model is like.b. what gives fireflies light. c. how the nanoparticles work.d. how to make the plants glow.34. what actually makes the plants produce light? a. luciferase.b. fireflies.c. molecules.d. pressure.35. what can we know about the plants in kennedys models?a. the plants grow in restricted space.b. the plants have grown as large as trees.c. the plants still need water and soil.d. the light of the plants can last weeks.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。as is often the case, when we wake up feeling sleepy and with dark circles under eyes, many of us often make a decision: “im going to bed earlier tomorrow!” we are so determined. 36 we are still absorbed in what we are doing without realizing it is already too late the next day. this behavior is called “bedtime procrastination” (睡眠拖延症), and results from lack of self-control and our body clock. 37 according to a study carried out by a group of health psychologists, 53 percent of the 2,400 participants said they didnt follow their sleep schedule, delaying it at least twice a week. they delayed bedtime because they couldnt stop doing other trivial things (琐事), which were keeping them up in the first place.people who generally have trouble resisting temptations (诱惑) and following their intentions firmly are also more likely to delay going to bed. they find it hard to control themselves. 38 our body clock also plays an important role when it comes to bedtime. those who get up late are more likely to postpone their bedtime than those who wake early every morning. night owls would go to bed late at the very beginning of the weekday, even though they had to get up early for work and school. 39 therefore, if we want to cure our bedtime procrastination, the intention to go to bed earlier is not enough. 40 we should have a clear understanding that bedtime procrastination is a big problem. the choices we make could turn out to be pretty important for our health.a. bedtime procrastination is a common problem.b. it will have extreme effect on our health sooner or later.c. yet, lack of self-control is not the only thing to blame. d. unfortunately, chances are that we dont stick to our promise.e. its their special body clock that plays a part in delaying their bedtime.f. biological processes need to support this intention.g. so we just need to take action to change our sleep model.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a、b、c和d四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。heimaey is a small island off the southern coast of iceland of just 4,200 people. but with its neighboring islands, there 41 the worlds largest puffin colony (海鹦群). each spring, puffins go to the islands to breed. around august, baby puffins 42 their way to the ocean. thats when the 43 begins.baby puffins leave at night by instinct (本能) and follow the light of the 44 to the sea. but they are 45 by bright lights. every year, a large number 46 lost. worse still, the lost birds are 47 hit by cars or eaten by cats.each breeding season, the 48 of heimaey start their own midnight 49 , which is called the puffling patrol. they 50 to form search parties. “when you see a bird, you try to 51 it and guide it into the box,” eldur hansen, a 14-year-old boy said.the next morning, they take the birds to the beach for 52 . over the years, kids have even developed a 53 method. “you do not throw them like a baseball,” eldur says. “you hold them in both hands. then 54 your arms out in front of you and let go.” before being set 55 , the birds are 56 and tagged(附上标签) for tracking purposes. “thanks to kids help, we scientists have learned that baby puffins now weigh less. that means they have a 57 chance of survival,” says erpur hansen, eldurs dad, a researcher in the southeast iceland nature research center.scientists worry puffins will 58 completely. but the kids give 59 to erpur hansen. “the 60 is that people can make a difference,” he says. “each time these kids help a bird get back to the ocean, they show us that.”41. a. hasb. livesc. standsd. contains42. a. searchb. continuec. maked. follow43. a. lifeb. journeyc. troubled. luck44. a. sunb. moonc. candled. bulb45. a. puzzledb. excitedc. delightedd. surprised46. a. get intob. give offc. figure outd. end up47. a. slightlyb. fluentlyc. mainlyd. hardly48. a. scientistsb. childrenc. birdsd. adults49. a. adventureb. voyagec. researchd. competition50. a. collectb. getc. turnd. gather51. a. cornerb. run c. catchd. count52. a. saleb. freedomc. fund. release53. a. gentleb. calmc. toughd. rough54. a. takeb. foldc. spreadd. wave 55. a. upb. downc. apartd. free56. a. raisedb. weighedc. eatend. tapped57. a. lowerb. higherc. worsed. better58. a. die awayb. die outc. die downd. die off59. a. sourceb. lovec. energyd. patience60. a. purposeb. newsc. storyd. message第二节 （共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分）阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。high on the qinghai-tibet plateau 61 (lie) chinas “water tower” sanjiangyuan. it is home to the headwaters of chinas three rivers: the yellow river, yangtze river, and lancang (mek
