The innovative, egg-shaped pods ensure travelers can camp in the most extreme corners of the world, with all the luxury of a hotel room. Looking like something in a sci-fi movie, the pod is equipped with solar panels, and a retractable wind turbine, which guarantee solar and wind energy as its power. In this way, the tiny home can let you live comfortably wherever you travel. It even has its own shower and toilet, sleeping area for two, and a small kitchen. It may look like a camp, but at least with the Ecocapsule you can look forward to a hot shower and running water on your travels. The 3,306 lb pods can be transported on your travels in a container or can be towed on a trailer, meaning the possibilities are endless. Bratislava-based Nice Architects are behind the extraordinary Ecocapsules and said they initially designed them for people who stay in the nature for a long time. However, it quickly became apparent that they could be opened up to the wider public and even used in urban areas to combat high rent, and placed on roofs for studio space or living quarters. The Ecocapsule can serve as a cottage, a pop-up hotel or even as a charging station for electric cars. The Ecocapsules could even be quickly imported for housing for emergency teams who have been quickly deployed to help with natural disasters that have destroyed nearby infrastructure. Described by the website as a “Swiss Army knife”— it packs everything you need, the self-contained unit can sustain long periods of time without external resources. The 86 soft pods are able to sleep two people for up to a year and for those worried about a cold night’s sleep, the Ecocapsule has a thick layer of efficient heat isolation and energy restoration which significantly reduce heat loss. The pod is designed to with stand harsh weather conditions due to its innovative design and materials used. No wonder the Nice Architects are so confident about its prospect and the producers are receiving heavy orders. 8.Where does the Ecocapsule get power? A.From solar panels and a retractable wind turbine. B.From a portable battery. C.From an electric generator. D.From its shower. 9.Whom may be the Ecocapsule initially designed for? A.Campers. B.Office ladies. C.Field biologists. D.Homeless people. 10.Why don’t the Ecocapsule’s users worry about coldness during their night’s sleep? A.Because there is a retractable wind turbine in it. B.Because it has an air conditioner in it. C.Because it is a self-contained unit. D.Because it is equipped with a thick layer to reduce heat loss. 11.How do the designers view the Ecocapsule’s future market? A.Negative. B.Optimistic. C.Worried. D.Doubtful. 【答案】 8.A 9.C 10.D 11.B 【解析】 这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一款便携式生态胶囊。作者介绍了它的制作原理，用 途和市场前景。 8.细节理解题。根据第二段关键句“Looking like something in a sci-fi movie, the pod is equipped with solar panels, and a retractable wind turbine, which guarantee solar and wind energy as its power.”可知，这个吊舱配备了太阳能电池板和一个可伸缩的风力涡轮机， 可以保证太阳能和风能作为它的动力。由此可推断出，生态胶囊是通过太阳能电池板和 可伸缩的风力涡轮机获得动力的。故选 A 项。 9. 细 节 理 解 题 。 根 据 第 四 段 关 键 句 “Bratislava-based Nice Architects are behind the extraordinary Ecocapsules and said they initially designed them for people who stay in the nature for a long time.”可知，生态胶囊最初是为长期生活在大自然中的人设计的。浏览 选项，Field biologists 意为“野外生物学家”，他们是需要在野外长期工作的。故选 C 项。 10.细节理解题。根据倒数第二段关键句“the Ecocapsule has a thick layer of efficient heat isolation and energy restoration which significantly reduce heat loss.”可知，生态胶囊有一层 厚厚的有效隔热和能量恢复层，能够显著减少热量的流失。由此可推断出，生态胶囊的 使用者在晚上睡觉时不用担心寒冷，是因为它配备的隔热层能够减少热量的流失。故选 D 项。 11.推理判断题。根据最后一段关键句“No wonder the Nice Architects are so confident about its prospect and the producers are receiving heavy orders.”可知，设计师对生态胶囊的前景 是自信的，而生态胶囊的生产商也接到了大量的订单，由此可推断出，设计师对生态胶 囊的未来市场是自信的，乐观的，Optimistic 意为“乐观的”，符合设计师的态度。故选 B 项。 D Facial expressions carry meaning that is determined by situations and relationships. For example, in American culture (文化) the smile is in general an expression of pleasure. Yet it also has other uses. A woman’s smile at a police officer does not carry the same meaning as the smile she gives to a young child. A smile may show love or politeness. It can also hide true feelings. It often causes confusion (困惑) across cultures. For example, many people in Russia consider smiling at strangers in public to be unusual and even improper. Yet many Americans smile freely at strangers in public places (although this is less common in big cities).Some Russians believe that Americans smile in the wrong places; some Americans believe that Russians don’t smile enough. In Southeast Asian cultures, a smile is frequently used to cover painful feelings. Vietnamese people may tell a sad story but end the story with a smile. Our faces show emotions ( 情 感 ), but we should not attempt to "read" people from another culture as we would "read" someone from our own culture. The fact that members of one culture do not express their emotions as openly as do members of another does not mean that they do not experience emotions. Rather, there are cultural differences in the amount of facial expressions permitted. For example, in public and in formal situations many Japanese do not show their emotions as freely as Americans do. When with friends, Japanese and Americans seem to show their emotions similarly. It is difficult to generalize about Americans and facial expressiveness because of personal and cultural differences in the United States. People from certain cultural backgrounds in the United States seem to be more facially expressive than others. The key is to try not to judge people whose ways of showing emotion are different. If we judge according to our own cultural habits, we may make the mistake of "reading" the other person incorrectly. 12.What does the smile usually mean in America? A.Love. B.Politeness. C.Joy. D.Thankfulness. 13.The author mentions the smile of the Vietnamese to prove that smile can ___ . A.show friendliness to strangers B.be used to hide true feelings C.be used in the wrong places D.show personal habits 14.What should we do before attempting(尝试) to "read" people? A.Learn about their relations with others. B.Understand their cultural backgrounds. C.Find out about their past experience. D.Figure out what they will do next. 15.What would be the best title for the test? A.Cultural Differences B.Smiles and Relationship C.Facial Expressiveness D.Habits and Emotions 【答案】 12.C 13.B 14.B 15.C 【解析】 【分析】 试题分析：本文是一篇议论文。文章阐述了面部表情取决于情景和人们之间的关系。文 章通篇阐述了面部表情的种种表现形式，以及文化之间的差异导致的面部表情的含义不 同。 12.C 细节理解题：根据文章第一段中的“in American culture (文化) the smile is in general an expression of pleasure”可知，在美国文化中，一般地说，微笑是快乐的表情。此处 joy 是 pleasure 的同义词。故选 C。 13.B 细节理解题：根据文章第一段中的“It can also hide true feelings. It often causes confusion (困惑) across cultures.”可知这是一个中心句，其后用例证法阐述：微笑能隐藏 真正的感情。它常常导致跨文化间的困惑。其中越南人讲故事的例子就是为了说明这一 观点。故选 B。 14.B 推理判断题：根据文章最后一段中的“The key is to try not to judge people whose ways of showing emotion are different. If we judge according to our own cultural habits, we may make the mistake of “reading” the other person incorrectly.”可知，我们在“读”人们的表情的 时候，要现理解他们的文化背景，否则，就会出错，故选 B。 15.C 标题判断题：文章通篇阐述了面部表情的种种表现形式，以及文化之间的差异导致 的面部表情的含义不同，面部表情是文章的主旨，故选 C。 第二节(共 5 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分) 阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项 为多余选项。 Americans are proud of their variety and individuality (个性), yet they love and respect few things more than a uniform, whether it is the uniform of a lift operator or the uniform of a five-star general(将军).16. Among the arguments for uniforms, one of the first is that in the eyes of most people they look more professional than civilian (百姓的) clothes.People expect higher quality from a man who wears a uniform.17.Faith in the skill of a garage mechanic is increased by a uniform.What easier way is there for a nurse, a policeman, a hairdresser, or a waiter to lose professional identity (职业身份) than to step out of uniform? 18.They are often more comfortable and more lasting than civilian clothes. Among the arguments against uniforms is their lack of variety and the loss of individuality experienced by people who must wear them.Though there are many types of uniforms, the wearer of any particular type is generally stuck with it, without change, until retirement. 19. 20.Though they are long-lasting, often their initial(最初的) expense is greater than the cost of civilian clothes.Some uniforms are also expensive to maintain, requiring professional dry cleaning rather than the home laundering possible with many types of civilian clothes. A.Americans think highly of uniforms . B.Why are uniforms so popular in the United States? C.When people wear the same uniforms, they are likely to think, speak, and act similarly on the job at least. D.Uniforms also have many practical good points E.Some practical problems with uniforms arise. F.The television repairman who wears a uniform is likely to inspire more trust than one who appears in civilian clothes. G.People's identity can be recognized more easily by their uniforms 【答案】 16. B 17.F 18.D 19.C 20.E 【解析】 这是一篇议论文。短文讨论美国人对于制服的不同观点。 16.由下文“Among the arguments for uniforms, one of the first is that in the eyes of most people they look more professional than civilian （百姓的） clothes ”可知，首先，在大多 数人眼里，他们看起来比平民服装更专业。可知下文是对选项的回答。故 B 选项“为什 么制服在美国如此受欢迎”切题。故选 B 项。 17.由上文“People expect higher quality from a man who wears a uniform”可知，人们对穿制 服的人有更高的要求。所以选项承接上文具体说明。故 F 选项“穿制服的电视修理工可 能比穿便服的电视修理工更能赢得信任”切题。故选 F 项。 18.由下文“They are often more comfortable and more lasting than civilian clothes. ”可知，制 服通常比便服更舒适、更耐穿。所以本段主要在说制服有很多实用的优点。故 D 选项“制 服也有很多实用的优点”切题。故选 D 项。 19.由上文“Among the arguments against uniforms is their lack of variety and the loss of individuality experienced by people who must wear them ”可知，反对穿制服的理由之一是 校服缺乏多样性，而且必须穿校服的人会失去个性。所以选项与上文话题一致，都在说 穿制服的缺点。故 C 选项“当人们穿着同样的制服时，他们的思维、言谈和行为至少在 工作中是相似的” 切题。故选 C 项。 20.由下文“Though they are long-lasting, often their initial（最初的） expense is greater than the cost of civilian clothes.Some uniforms are also expensive to maintain, requiring professional dry cleaning rather than the home laundering possible with many types of civilian clothes ”可知，虽然它们经久耐用，但最初的花费往往大于便服的花费，有些制 服的维护费用也很高，需要专业的干洗，而不能在家自己清洗。所以本段主要在说制服 出现的一些实际问题也就是选项本段标题所要说明内容。故 E 选线“制服出现了一些实 际问题”切题。故选 E 项。 第二部分语言运用(共两节，满分 30 分) 第一节(共 15 小题:每小题 1 分，满分 15 分) 阅读下面短文, 从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选 项。 An act of kindness doesn't have to be a grand gesture.

Amie started to do this several years ago. At first, she wondered if people would 22 it. However, much to her surprise, she began seeing a flood of 23 every time she hit the road.

Stories like Amie's really 32 the rest of us. Sometimes a kind word or gesture may lift our 33 and it doesn't cost a thing except for a little extra thought.

I took my camera-the first time I'd taken my camera out since we came to the country-and went, dressed in my down jacket and wearing heavy boots.I walked toward the seemingly abandoned house that I could see across the fields from the upstairs window. A truck was parked at the end of the road,beside a tiny.weather-beaten house.There was smoke coming out of the chimney,and curtains in the two little windows on either side of the door.A dog was in the yard,who barked when he saw me coming.And beside the truck-no,actually in the truck,or at least with his head inside it,was a man. “Hi,"I called.It would have been silly to turn around and start walking home without saying anything,even though I've promised my parents all my life that I would never talk to strange men. He lifted out his head,a gray head,smiled-a nice smile-and said,"Miss Chalmers.I'm glad you've come to visit." “Meg,"I said.I was puzzled.How did he know who I was? ＂For Margaret?"he asked,coming over and shaking my hand."Forgive me.My hands are very dirty.My battery dies in this cold weather." ＂How did you know my name was Chalmers?" He wiped his hands on a towel that was hanging from the door handle of the truck."My dear,I apologize.I have not even introduced myself.My name is Will Banks.And it's much too cold to stand out here.Your feet must be frozen,even in those boots.Come inside,and I'll make us each a cup of tea. And I'll tell you how I know your name.” I stood unmoved.He saw me hesitate,and smiled."Meg,"he said,“I'm seventy years old. Completely harmless,even to a beautiful young girl like you.Come on in and keep me company for a bit,and get warm." I laughed,because he knew what I was thinking,and very few people ever know what I'm thinking. Then I went in his house. 注意：1.续写词数应为 150 左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: He took my jacket and hung it up with his,and poured tea into two thick pottery mugs. ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ _____________________ Paragraph 2: It's nice to have a new friend,like Will.. ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ _____________________ 【答案】 He took my jacket and hung it up with his.and poured tea into two thick pottery mugs.After we sat at the table,Will told me the whole story.The house my family was living in was actually built by his grandfather.He was born,raised and married in that house.Alter his Margaret died,he moved to this small house.When he heard my parents were looking for a place,he offered the house to them.He thought it was a perfect place for a writer like my father-the peace there stimulated imagination.He said again that he was glad I'd come to visit. It's nice to have a new friend,like Will. I suggested taking pictures of him."My dear,"he said, straightening his shoulders and buttoning the top button of his shirt."I would be honored."The soft light was coming in through the kitchen window onto his face.He sat right there,smiling and talking.I just shot quickly.Years later,those pictures still brought back the warm memories of that day. 【解析】 【分析】 本篇书面表达是读后续写。通过阅读所给文章可知，作者搬家后第一次出去散步， 在一个小木屋遇见了 70 多岁的 Will Banks，Will Banks 在打招呼时喊出了作者的名字， 但是作者却不认识他，Will Banks 邀请作者进屋喝杯茶，顺便讲述他为什么知道作者的 名字。 【详解】 续写部分分为两段，第一段开头是：他拿着我的夹克衫和他的挂在一起，向两个厚 陶杯里倒茶……，所以应该写进屋后的情况，即 Will Banks 向作者讲述是如何得知作者 的名字的；第二段开头是：有一个像 Will 这样的朋友还不错……，本段应该作者听了 Will 讲述的故事后，把 Will 当成在这个陌生国家的朋友，提议给他拍些照片，多年后，这 些照片仍能让作者想起那些温暖的回忆。续写时要注意所续写短文的词数应为150左右。 按要求完成写作任务。 【点睛】 本文描写详略得当，使用了高级词汇和高级句子。如：look for，suggest doing sth.， bring back 等高级词汇；After we sat at the table, Will told me the whole story.中 After 引导 的时间状语从句，He said again that he was glad I'd come to visit.中 that 引导的宾语从句等 高级句式。
