26、   For many of us, our workplace can be dark, depressing and dull. Windowless rooms and airless open-plan floors can kill motivation and cause a loss to worker performance, possibly even their health.

But a refreshing trend is taking root in workplace design: nature. There’s a growing evidence showing that workplaces which include natural elements, such as plants, light, colors and shapes, have noticeable and measurable benefits for both companies and their employees.

The positive effects touch on everything from worker happiness and creativity to increased productivity, improved profits, and the improved ability to attract the best workers. It’s all based on the principle of biophilia (亲生命性) — the born relationship between humans and the natural world and other living systems. And it’s easier to achieve at the office than you think.

“People just don’t like using lights in a building with no plants, no views, no natural light,” says Sir Cary Cooper CBE, professor at Lancaster University in the UK . He led a 2015 study on the impact of biophilia in the workplace that surveyed 7,600 workers in 16 countries and found that even small nature-inspired changes can have a great effect.

Responding to the Human Spaces Global Report, those who worked in environments with natural elements reported a 15% higher level of well-being, a 6% higher level of productivity and a 15% higher level of creativity. One third of them said the design of an office would affect their decisions to work for a company. Even so, 58% said there were no live plants at their workplaces and 47% reported having no natural light.

An earlier, 2014 study by Cardiff University in Wales also showed that plants in the office make people happier and more productive. But more research is needed into biophilia, experts say.

【1】What’s the purpose of the first paragraph?

A. To compare different ideas.

B. To express the author’s worry.

C. To introduce the topic of the text.

D. To describe the conditions of the workplace.

【2】What does the underlined word “well-being” mean in Paragraph 5?

A. welfare B. happiness

C. richness D. honor

【3】What can we infer from the text?

A. Experts will do research in biophilia further.

B. It’s very easy to be successful in a natural workplace.

C. Over 50% workers are not satisfied with their workplaces.

D. People will not work for a company without a good environment.

【4】What’s the main idea of the text?

A. People like working in the office with lights.

B. Natural elements can bring health to the people in the office.

C. Companies should offer a better environment to their employees.

D. Natural elements can make people work happily and efficiently.

27、   The design of a building influences the performance of the people working and studying in it. Schools are no exception. There are two main features that would make for the ideal school building: classrooms with impressive views, and carefully planned seating arrangements.

It has been shown that concentration and mental acuity actually improve when people allow their gaze to wander. Varied visual stimuli(刺激) helps the mind to absorb information on a deeper level, in much the same way that dreaming during sleep strengthens memory formation and data storage in the brain. Moreover, a pleasant view can improve students’ mood, making learning easy. Classrooms with large windows and expansive views therefore make perfect sense.

Like this concept of a “classroom with a view”, the idea of alternative classroom seating arrangements might appear somewhat unusual, yet adding this feature into the design of school buildings could have significant benefits. The traditional image of4students sitting listlessly(无精打采) in rows of desks, staring blankly at the front of the classroom, where a teacher struggles to keep their attention from drifting while lecturing about some dry mathematical phenomenon, is all too familiar. Imagine, however, a math class with groups of students gathered around separate tables, cagerly engaged in examining a real-life math problem and sharing their ideas. Instead of strictly arranged rows of desks, the ideal classroom should have a variety of more relaxed furniture arrangements, which contribute to different kinds of classroom activity and interaction.

Intelligent companies have already adopted more up-to-date design concepts into their workshops, in order to ensure employees can work to the best of their abilities. Schools should follow suit, in order to enrich students’ learning experiences.

【1】Why does the author mention dreaming in Paragraph 2?

A．To show the harm of daydreaming.

B．To stress the importance of a good sleep.

C．To prove the benefits of impressive window views.

D．To explain the phenomenon of sleeping during the class.

【2】According to the author, seating arrangements should enable students to_______.

A．communicate better with each other.

B．relax during a stressful examination.

C．listen more closely to the teacher.

D．clean the classroom easily2.

【3】What does the underlined phrase “follow suit” in the last paragraph mean?

A．Set an example.

B．Be an exception.

C．Do the same thing.

D．Come up with new ideas.

28、   At the age of seven, while his friends were spending their allowance on things like candy and toys, Jose Adolfo Quisocola was busy saving money for basic purchases. To try to get his peers (同龄人) to do the same, the boy from Peru came up with the idea of an eco-bank, the Bartselana Student Bank, which allows kids of all ages to become financially independent while also helping the environment.

Set up in 2012, the bank is the world’s first bank for kids. To become a member, a kid has to bring in at least 5 kilograms of solid waste and set a savings goal. Once accepted all bank “partners” are required to deposit at least one additional kilogram of recyclables on a monthly basis and observe other requirements, such as attending financial education and environmental management workshops.

The waste accumulated is sold to local recycling companies, which, thanks to Jose’s efforts, pay a higher-than-market rate for everything brought in by the bank members. The money received is placed in the personal account where they collect until the savings goal is reached. The account holder can then withdraw the money, or choose to leave it and make it continue to grow for a bigger target. “At the beginning, my teachers thought I was crazy or that a child could not undertake this type of project,” Jose recalls. “They did not understand that we are not the future of the country but its present. Luckily, I had the support of the school headmaster and an assistant in my class.”

The boy’s efforts paid off, and by 2013, the bank had over 200 members, who brought in one ton of recyclable waste. Today, the eco-bank, which now has the support of several local institutions, boasts ten educational centers. They are designed to teach over 3,000 students, aged 10 to 18, to become financially independent, use their money wisely, and help the environment.

Not surprisingly, Jose’s efforts have earned him several national and international awards. On November 20. 2018, Jose won Children’s Climate Prize, which comes with a medal and $5.500 in prize money and is given to a child or youth who has accomplished an extraordinary achievement for the climate or environment.

【1】Why did Jose set up the bank?

A.To raise money and set up a recycling company.

B.To buy necessities and donate them to needy kids.

C.To save much money and protect the environment.

D.To educate the students and help them win prizes.

【2】How can a kid be admitted to the eco-bank?

A.By donating to the eco-bank.

B.By sending in an application.

C.By turning in one kilogram of waste in a month.

D.By presenting a savings goal and a certain amount of waste.

【3】How did the teachers feel about Jose’s program at first?

A.Doubtful. B.Excited.

C.Moved. D.Unworried.

【4】What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?

A.How the environment is improved.

B.What the project has achieved.

C.How tons of waste has been recycled.

D.What support the local institutions get.

29、   We should never give up when we're challenged. The following three actresses have set a good example to us.

Sarah Jessica Parker

When Parker was little, she had to take up singing and dancing to help feed her big family.

Despite hard times, Parker's mom encouraged her children's interest in the arts. When Parker was 11 years old, the family took a trip to New York City, so Parker could audition (试演) for a Broadway play. The trip was a success — she and her brother were both cast, and then the family moved to

New York. Parker continued to work hard and land roles, eventually becoming the title character of a famous TV show.

Emily Blunt

Before Blunt was nominated (提名) for Golden Globes and landing leading roles on the stage and big screen, she could hardly hold a conversation with her classmates: Between ages 7 and 14, Emily had a major stutter (口吃). But that all changed when one of her junior high teachers encouraged her to try out for the school play, which she thought was a totally unappealing(无吸引力的) thing at first due to the fact that she had such a hard time communicating. The teacher suggested she try accents and character voices to help get the words out and it worked. By the end of her teens, Blunt had overcome her stutter and went on to achieve the successful career she has now.

Shania Twain

Twain's career actually began more out of necessity than raw ambition. Her mom and stepfather often couldn't make enough to get by, so Twain started singing in bars to make extra money when she was just eight years old. She recalls her mother waking her up at all hours to get up and perform. Sadly, when she was 21, her mother and stepfather were killed in a car accident on the highway.

Twain put her career on hold to step in and take care of her younger brothers. Only when her youngest brother graduated from high school did she feel it was OK to head down to Nashville to pursue her career.

【3】In order to ________, Twain stopped pursuing her career at 21.

D. she wanted to take a break

【4】What did Parker and Twain have in common when they were young?

C. They wanted to become famous. D. They had an unhappy childhood.

30、The situation seemed hopeless.

From the day he started at my junior-high, Willard P. Franklin lived in his own world. He shut out his classmates and _______, his teacher. I tried to set up a friendly relationship with him, but almost failed. Even a “Good Morning, Willard” _______ only a very low grunt (咕哝). I could see that his classmates got on no better. Willard was completely a lonely boy who seemed to have no _______ to break his barrier (障碍) of silence.

Shortly after the Thanksgiving holiday, we received word of the Christmas collection of money for the poor people in our school area.

“Christmas is a season of _______,” I told my students. “There are a few students in the school who might not have a happy holiday season. By contributing(捐) to our Christmas collection, you will _______ to buy food, clothes and toys for these needy people. We start the collection tomorrow.”

When I called for the contribution the next day, I discovered that almost everyone had _______ except Willard P. Franklin. The boy _______ deep into his trousers pockets as he walked up to my desk. Carefully, he dropped two coins into the small box.

“I don’t need any milk for lunch,” he said very quietly. For a moment, _______ a moment, he smiled. Then he _______ and walked back to his desk.

That night, after school, I took our small collections to the school master. I couldn’t help telling him what had happened during the day.

“I may be wrong, ________ I believe Willard might be getting ready to become a part of the world around him,” I told the master.

“Yes, I believe it sounds ________,” he nodded. “And I think we might do well to have him________ a bit of his world with us. I just received a list of the poor families in our school who most need help through the Christmas collection. Here, take a look at it.”

31、Directions: Complete the following paragraphs by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once.

Note that there is one word more than you need.

A Bad Idea

Think you can walk, dive, take phone calls, e-mail and listen to music at the same time? Well, New York's new law says you can't. And you'll be 【1】 $S100 if you do it on a New York City street.

The law went into force last month, following research and a(n) 【2】number of accidents that involved people using electronic gadgets when crossing the street.

Who's to【3】 ? Scientists say that our multitasking abilities are limited.

"We are under the impression that our brain can do more than it often can," says Rene Marois, a neuroscientist in Tennessee. “But a major limitation is the inability to【4】on two things at once".

The young people are often considered the great multitaskers. However, an Oxford University research suggests this idea is open to question. A group of 18-to 21-year-olds and a group of 35-to 39-year-olds were given 90 seconds to translate【5】into numbers, using a simple code. The younger group did 10 percent better when not interrupted. But when both groups were interrupted by a phone call or a(n) 【6】message, the older group matched the younger group in speed and 【7】.

It is difficult to measure the productivity【8】by multitaskers. But it is probably a lot. Jonathan Spire, chief analyst at Basex. a business-research firm, estimates the cost of interruptions to the American economy at nearly $650 billion a year.

The【9】is based on surveys with office workers. The surveys conclude that 28 percent of the workers' time was spent on interruptions and【10】time before they returned to their main tasks.
