What is sky garden？

ABOUT SKY GARDEN

Sky Garden is Londons highest public garden–a lively social space with 360-degree views of the citys iconic skyline. Access to the Sky Garden is free of charge， but spaces are limited. Visits must be booked in advance through this site， and can be made up to three weeks in advance.

OUR GARDEN

Sky Garden was designed by award-winning landscape architecture practice Gillespies. To create our richly planted terraces， the designers chose a variety of drought-resistant（耐旱的）Mediterranean and South African species. Individual plants were chosen to work in harmony with the space–flourishing（長得茂盛）all year round in full colour. Among the flowering plants are African Lily（Agapanthus）， Red Hot Poker（Kniphofia）and Bird of Paradise（Strelitzia reginae）–alongside fragrant herbs such as French Lavender.

HISTORY

Sky Garden is located in 20 Fenchurch Street–designed in 2004 by world-famous Uruguayan architect Rafael Vi？觡oly. With his distinctive design， the building is extremely beautiful and impressive–using expansive sheets of glass， and growing larger as the eye travels upwards.

“Im an unconventional parent，”says Ed Stafford，who is best known as the first person to walk the entire length of the Amazon River. His wife is fellow explorer Laura Bingham， who sailed the Atlantic in 2014 aged just 21. The pioneering power couple now balance their ambitions with family life.“If shes away， I will be at home with Ran. We practice co-parenting.”

“There is no need to think parenthood should be boring. Just go out and do the things you love，”says Ed.“I think its fair to say that theres always been a restlessness（不安現(xiàn)狀）beneath the sort of things Ive done. I decided I wanted to do something completely off my own back， so I presented an idea to the Discovery Channel. I said put me on a desert island for two months on my own with no food or water or survival kit of any description–no knife， no lighter， not even any clothes.”

Ed revealed that his biggest struggle wasnt the lack of survival equipment， however–it was the pressure of being alone. He described the experience of spending so much time alone as “extraordinarily scary”.

Luckily， in the adventure that made him famous， an extremely difficult and tiring 4，490-mile walk through the rainforest from Peru to Brazil， he met Cho， a local man who knew the dangerous places and the safe places staying by Eds side for two entire years. This unique bond helped Ed to overcome the most testing situations.“I was held at gunpoint three times by drug dealers and I was even arrested for murder at one stage， which I promise I didnt do. But what upset me most was that the Queen hadnt personally signed my passport，”Ed says， assuring the audience that his incredible tales are true.

Striking the right balance between independence and company is the secret to survival in all kinds of situations. It would seem–including parenting， the most ordinary yet incredible mission of them all.

4. Why does Ed Stafford say he is an unconventional parent？

A. His wife is the primary caretaker.

B. He thinks co-parenting unnecessary.

C. He balances independence with parenting.

D. He walks the entire length of the Amazon River.

5.Which of the following best describes Ed Stafford？

A. Boring.? ? ? ?B. Conservative.

C. Demanding.? ? ? D. Adventurous.

6. What is the biggest challenge Ed faces in his adventure？

A. Lack of company.? ?B. Lack of food.

C. Lack of water.? ? ?D. Lack of survival equipment.

7. What can we learn from Eds rainforest adventure from Peru to Brazil？

A. The adventure went smoothly.

B. Chos company helped him a lot.

C. The adventure lasted for two years.

D. Ed was not satisfied with the Queen.

Fish has long been viewed as an ideal protein（蛋白質(zhì)）source and the significant source（來源）of fatty acids such as DHA. Health authorities have sometimes advised people to consume fish at least twice per week.

Globally， an estimated one trillion（萬億）fish are caught each year， illegal and mistaken catches not included. About half of the commercial fishing industry targets wild fish and other sea animals and half relies on“farms”. Concerns about both sectors grow each year.

Overfishing is rapidly destroying the living environment of sea creatures. Experts predict that， if current trends continue， by 2048 there will be a global collapse（崩潰）of all species currently fished. Various infections from farmed fish have an impact on numbers and global warming is changing habitat（棲息地）; for example， sea temperatures in the Strait of Georgia and Fraser River are one and a half degrees warmer than 50 years ago. With the same goal as in agriculture business–to produce the most meat for the least money–fish farming is making the situation worse. Fish farms maintain a density（密度）of animals never seen in the wild. Poor living conditions include crowding， polluted water and disease outbreaks， causing stress， fear and pain in these animals.

Until the 90s， there was little scientific agreement that fish could feel. Since then， studies have made us rethink these beliefs. Scientific thinking can be strange; even as a child， the first time I went fishing， it was obvious the fish was not comfortable having a hook through its cheek. While farmed fish do not get the hook， out of water， their gills（鰓）cannot work normally， leading to a slow and stressful death for lack of oxygen.

Fortunately， those who like the flavor of seafood can still enjoy it without supporting environmental damage and cruelty. Products similar to breaded meat are now made from pea protein and the tastes are good. If you like the flavor of seafood， try alternatives such as Sophies or Gardeins fishless food.

8. What does the underlined word“sectors”in paragraph 2 mean？

A. Fields.? B. Barriers.? C. Targets.? D. Mistakes.

9. What does the third paragraph mainly talk about concerning sea creatures？

A. All species fished now.? B. Stress from overfishing.

C. Their living conditions.? D. Infections from farmed fish.

10. What can be inferred about fish from the text？

A. Theyll die without oxygen. B. They are afraid of hooks.

C. They have diseased gills.? ?D. They may have feelings.

11. What can be a suitable title for the text？

A. Why are fish capable of feeling？

B. Why search for fish alternatives？

C. What effects does overfishing bring？

D. What will fish farming be like in the future？

D

In the age of the Internet， theres no such thing as a private debate. But is that bad for science？ Some scientists have had misgivings（疑慮）. When debates in any field move beyond the halls of universities and government agencies， there is potential for misuse of information and public confusion. But open debate can also foster communication among scientists and between the scientific community and the public.

More recently， a heated debate has taken place over how to distribute the COVID-19 vaccines（疫苗）. For those that require two shots， should the period between them be lengthened so that more people can be vaccinated sooner？ Should the second shot be dropped altogether？ It isnt difficult to discover that open debate—whether on television， in newspapers， or on social media—encourages diverse voices and increases the likelihood of a good outcome.

Although this seems like a sound approach to problems， some have questioned the manner in which the debate was conducted. However， their anxiety seems misplaced. The days of having a confidential debate about scientific issues are gone， thats for the best because these days， the public can access debates about science regardless of where they take place. What matters is getting to the right place in terms of the science—deciding what the question should be， the appropriate way of answering it， and the correct interpretation of the data.

For many scientists， public debate is a new frontier. But rather than avoiding such conversations， let the debates be transparent and dynamic， wherever they are held. If we want the public to understand science is an honorably self-correcting process， lets do away once for all with the idea that science is a fixed set of facts in a textbook. Instead， let everyone see the noisy， messy discussions that advance science and lead to decisions that benefit us all.

12. What concerns some scientists in the age of the Internet？

A. There is no private debate.

B. Debates go beyond the walls of official agencies.

C. Open debate promotes communication.

D. Public debate does no good to science.

13. Why does the author mention the case of“two shots”in paragraph 2？

A.To put forward two questions.

B. To arouse readers curiosity.

C. To evidence an argument.

D. To make a comparison.

14. What is the authors attitude to public debate？

A. Favorable.? B. Anxious.? C. Unclear.? D. Doubtful.

15. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about concerning public debate？

A.Its appeal to the public.

B. Its benefits for science.

C. Its classification as a new frontier.

D. Its differences with science.

It was the start of the 2010–2011 winter season. I had been a heli-ski（直升機滑雪）guide for 13 years. Flying into this valley， things were starting to look a little sweeter.

On a normal day， I was on a helicopter guiding a group of thrilled passengers longing to ski down the mountain. After a quick scan of the helicopter area， Jim， our pilot， began to climb. Heli pilots often like to fly above mountains like a ski tourer going uphill， circling their way back and forth across the land. Jim is one of the best pilots I know—calm and extremely skilled， with thousands of hours of mountain flying under his belt. The wind could be blowing 35 mph， and if you asked him how things were going， Jim would give a little shrug（聳肩）and say，“Aw， ya know， a little windy， but its workable.”If he didnt like the conditions， he would let you know in that same calm voice： “Well， now， maybe its time we head down.”Either way， you listened to Jim.

The relationship between guide and pilot is vital to a safe and successful day in the mountains. Jim and I worked together as a team， making decisions based on detailed weather forecasts and human factors， like the experience of the group. Over the years， wed built a close partnership—we made choices in an attempt to reduce the other persons stress while guests laughed and stared excitedly out the windows in the back of the helicopter.

During the slow climb up the mountain， I looked across to our landing： a spot just above the trees. It seemed as though we were a bit higher than we needed to be. I was about to tell Jim when Jim said， in his ever-calm voice，“Erin， I think we just lost the engine.”

注意：

1. 續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右;

2. 請按如下格式在答題卡的相應(yīng)位置作答。

Time seemed to stop.

Then， in an instant， I felt the hardest impact Ive ever experienced.

答案與點撥

第二部分 閱讀

第一節(jié)

（A篇）本文介紹了英國的一處景點“空中花園”，分別從它的內(nèi)外部景觀，歷史以及游客須知等方面進行介紹。

1. C 細節(jié)理解題。由大標題OUR GARDEN下面的“To create...in full colour”可知“為了創(chuàng)造我們種植豐富的梯田，設(shè)計師選擇了各種耐旱的地中海和南非物種。單獨的植物被選擇來與空間和諧地工作——全年都充滿色彩”，即游客可以欣賞花園里的各種植物，故選C項。

2. A 細節(jié)理解題。由題干中的tickets可定位到大標題 How to visit？下面的購票時間：Mon–Fri： 10am–6pm， A選項的時間段在此之間，故選A項。

3. B 細節(jié)理解題。由文章最后一句“If you have any questions regarding access， our customer service team will be happy to help.”可知游客如有入園問題可咨詢客服團隊，故選B項。

（B篇）本文主要介紹了冒險家艾德史塔佛和他對自己以往的冒險經(jīng)歷的回憶。

4. C 推理判斷題。由第一段第三、四句和第二段的第一句可知，艾德為人父母之后沒有停止冒險的腳步，和妻子兩個人共同承擔照顧孩子的義務(wù)，當他去冒險的時候，妻子在家照顧孩子。他說自己不是一個傳統(tǒng)的父母，因為他繼續(xù)做自己熱愛的事情，平衡了個人追求與養(yǎng)育孩子，故選C項。

5. D 推理判斷題。由第二段最后一句可知艾德想嘗試荒島求生，是一個很有冒險精神的人，故選D項。

6. A 細節(jié)理解題，由第三段第一句話中的“being alone”可知，他在冒險中面對的最大的挑戰(zhàn)是沒有人陪伴，故選A項。

7. B 細節(jié)理解題。由第四段第二句話中的“This unique bond helped Ed”可知，Cho在雨林冒險中幫助了艾德非常多，故選B項。

（C篇）本文從“魚的價值”引出話題，談到漁業(yè)現(xiàn)狀令人堪憂，尤其是過度捕撈和養(yǎng)殖業(yè)兩個方面存在許多問題。最后以“魚也有感受”收尾，突出了魚肉替代食品的重要性。

8. A 詞義推斷題。由題干中的sectors和paragraph 2可直接定位到第二段最后一句;句中的both應(yīng)是指上句中的the commercial fishing industry（商業(yè)性的漁業(yè)）和farms（養(yǎng)殖業(yè)），因此，sectors意為“方面”或“領(lǐng)域”，故選A項。

9. C 段落大意題。由第三段首句“過度捕撈正在迅速破壞海洋生物的生存環(huán)境”和段中的“養(yǎng)魚業(yè)使情況變得更糟”，以及最后一句“惡劣的生活條件包括擁擠、水污染和疾病爆發(fā)，給這些動物造成壓力、恐懼和痛苦”可知，本段是講過度捕撈和養(yǎng)魚業(yè)兩個方面導(dǎo)致海生物生存環(huán)境的惡化，故選C項。

10. D 推理判斷題。由第四段第一句“直到90年代，關(guān)于魚有感覺這一點，科學(xué)界還沒有達成一致。從那以后，研究讓我們重新思考這些信念”可推出“魚可能有感覺”，故選D項。

11. B 主旨大意題。文章從過度捕撈和養(yǎng)殖業(yè)兩個角度指出漁業(yè)現(xiàn)存的問題，說明漁業(yè)對環(huán)境和海洋生物具有消極影響，最后談到魚肉替代品的優(yōu)點及獲取途徑，因此“為什么尋找魚肉替代品”最符合文意，故選B項。

（D篇）本文從一些科學(xué)家對公眾辯論的擔憂引出觀點——公開辯論對科學(xué)有促進作用。接著通過介紹對接種疫苗的公開辯論進一步指出公眾辯論鼓勵多樣的言論，增加問題得到好的解決的可能性，最后作者表達了對公眾辯論的支持，再次呼應(yīng)主題，即通過公開辯論推動科學(xué)并作出最有利的決策。

12. D 事實細節(jié)題。由題干中的concern和in the age of the Internet可定位到第一段第三句“一些科學(xué)家擔憂的是公開辯論可能導(dǎo)致信息被誤用以及公眾困惑”，對比各選項，只有選項D（公眾辯論對科學(xué)沒有好處）正確。

13. C 推理判斷題。根據(jù)題干“two shots”可定位到文章第二段，shot在此處是“注射”的意思，第二段以“分-總”的結(jié)構(gòu)通過對兩次疫苗注射的公眾辯論這一事例來論證觀點：“... encourages diverse voices and increases the likelihood of a good outcome.”故選C項。

14. A 推理判斷題。從第四段 The days of having a confidential debate ... where they take place.”可知作者認為私下討論科學(xué)的日子已經(jīng)過去了，如今民眾對科學(xué)的公開辯論是不分何時何地的，最重要的是了解科學(xué)辯論的內(nèi)容是什么，如何恰當?shù)鼗貞?yīng)并解釋數(shù)據(jù)，故選A項。

15. B 段落大意題。本題用排除法較容易，因本文并沒有“its apeal to public（對公眾的吸引）”，可排除A項;也不是對比與科學(xué)的不同，可排除選項D項;C中classification是“分類”的意思，可排除選項C項。此外也可根據(jù)第四段第二句和最后一句可知不要避開公眾辯論，應(yīng)該讓每個人看到這種辯論對科學(xué)的推進作用以及會得到惠及大眾的決策，故選B項。

第二節(jié)

本文主要介紹了一些在約會和面試共同的一些特點并對此給出的一些建議。

16. E 此空在首段句尾，并由文中給出的四個小標題可推出這是總起的句子。選項中的“here are four top tips”也與后文對應(yīng)，故選E項。

17. F 此空考查對代詞的理解。上句給出建議“a clean and put-together look”，對應(yīng)了選項中的“not on what you are wearing”，故選F項。

18. C 后文提到“this is one of the top reasons that companies pass on candidates”可推出前面給出的建議是有助于面試或約會。后文也提到了“best to keep the doors open”對應(yīng)了選項中的“keep answers open-ended”，故選C項。

19. A 此空設(shè)在小標題。根據(jù)本段第一句提到“Nobody needs to know your medical histories”這句話可推出過多的信息可能會使別人失去興趣，故選A項。

20. G 此空下句有過渡短語“on the other hand”，并提到了在約會中的情景，可知上句舉的應(yīng)該是關(guān)于面試的例子。G選項開頭也提到了“take a day to accept a position”也對應(yīng)了后文的“dont make them wait”。

第三部分 語言運用

第一節(jié)

本文講述了“我”和哥哥有一次開車走錯路，導(dǎo)致交多了一筆路費，卻正好在途中幫助了一位需要換輪胎的小伙子。這讓我明白即使自己在沮喪的時候，也可以用冷靜的頭腦和善良的心靈幫助別人，將負能量轉(zhuǎn)化為正能量。

21. C 22. C 23. A 24. B 25. D 26. C 27. B 28. A 29. D 30. B 31. A 32. C 33. A 34. B 35. D

第二節(jié)

本文介紹了中國非物質(zhì)文化遺產(chǎn)中發(fā)源于赤水河流域的黔北民間絕技——獨竹漂。

36. a? 因scene為可數(shù)名詞，泛指武俠電影中的一幕，表示“一”用不定冠詞。

37. but? 因前后句之間是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，意為“但實際上是……”，故填but。

38. began? 由over 2，000 years ago可知用一般過去時。

39. are held? 由Now和every year可知用一般現(xiàn)在時，又因主語competitions（比賽）與hold（舉行）是被動關(guān)系，用一般現(xiàn)在時的被動語態(tài)，主語是復(fù)數(shù)，故填are held。

40. what? 引導(dǎo)主語從句并在從句中作主語，故填連接代詞what。

41. from? 表示她“從”祖母那里學(xué)習(xí)這門技藝，用介詞from。

42. creatively? 修飾動詞combines，用副詞。

43. to make? 作目的狀語，用不定式。

44. bringing? 因句中已有謂語動詞started了，bring應(yīng)為非謂語動詞，表示前面做法所帶來的結(jié)果，用現(xiàn)在分詞作結(jié)果狀語。

45. countries? 泛“其他的國家”，other后接可數(shù)名詞時，該名詞用復(fù)數(shù)。

第四部分 寫作

第一節(jié)

Recently， a handcraft competition entitled“Trash to Treasure”is scheduled to be held in our school， aiming to both raise the awareness of saving and recycling resources and enrich our campus life. Welcome to join us and enjoy it.

First of all， ranging from used bottles to discarded（丟棄的）materials， mostly the wastes in our daily life are in effect displaced treasures. Therefore， you are expected to carefully select， creatively design and eventually transform a certain piece of waste into a new environmentally friendly product， which will be displayed in the library on July 7th.? In addition， to get actively involved in the competition， you can participate in the making process either as an individual or a member of a team. Ultimately， whoever attends it will receive a trophy（獎杯）as a memorial award.

Hopefully， you would make it to our activity. I have the confidence that you will harvest a great deal.

第二節(jié)

Time seemed to stop. Overwhelmed（不知所措）by a strong sense of astonishment and fear， I stood rooted to the ground， with my mouth half open. Jim allowed his training to take over and skillfully put the machine into an autorotation（自動旋轉(zhuǎn)）to avoid losing control of the helicopter. Meanwhile， I called 911 immediately， in the hope that they would come in time to save us. First-aid measures flooded into my mind as I dashed to the back of the helicopter， trying to calmly state the emergent situation to the passengers. Shocked though they were， they still did as I asked. We sat tall with our arms clasped round knees， waiting for the crash.

Then， in an instant， I felt the hardest impact Ive ever experienced. Everything was dark and silent， except for the voice inside my head wondering if this was the moment I was going to die. A sharp pain reminded me that I was still alive. I tried to check other people， but I couldnt move. After what seemed like forever， a rescue team came. They found us by identifying the signal of my phone. We were sent to a nearby hospital. Miraculously（奇跡般地）， all of us were slightly hurt thanks to Jims instant act and my emergency measures. It dawned on me that we should always be equipped with necessary professional skills in case of an emergency.
