House and tree have been here, side by side, for well over a century. No one really knows how old the tree is, but it was already there when builders started on the house at the beginning of the 1900s.It was still rather young and flexible back then, so it easily welcomed the new structure into its path. It bent and adjusted itself to make room, and to find the space to grow big and strong and wise, which means that some hundred years later, the solid, strong branches of the tree reach around two full sides of my home. Its covered in moss（苔藓）, which is, in turn, crawling with all sorts of insects. I have never seen the insects, by the way, I just know that theyre there because of all the birds trying to pick them out. They are always hopping around, looking for this and that and singing songs.I feel like I have become part of the ecosystem. When Im eating breakfast or making dinner in the kitchen, I can look out and see a bird hopping around skillfully, gathering its own meal while I tend to mine. When Im sitting in the living room, reading or drinking tea, I can suddenly find myself face to face with another bird. Well be staring at each other and, after some time, decide we can both carry on with our business, living side by side. Even as I write thisthe large windows open to a lovely, soft eveninga white feather comes floating down by my side, probably from one of the resident pigeons.As I dont have the luxury of a garden, this tree makes me feel connected to the outdoors. Such is an ancient tree, a tree that is itself home to many other creaturesthat feels different. It is as if it has adopted me and made me a part of its world, without ever asking for something in return. But if needs be, I know that it can count on me and I will protect it with all my strength.24The flat that author lives in is _.Abuilt in an ancient treeBhugged by a giant treeCdecorated with branchesDsurrounded by a garden25In the authors description, she implies that _.来源:z%zstep.&co*mAbirds keep her warm companyBshe has adopted the residents.Cmoss makes her flat nice and coolDshe has been bothered by the insects来*源:中教%网#26What does the author really treasure?AA close-to-nature life.BA luxurious garden.CA spacious house.DA sociable neighbor.27Which of the following can be used to express the authors feeling?AJealous.BInferior.CContent.DPassionate.CGeorge Gershwin, born in 1898, was one of Americas greatest composers. He published his first song when he was eighteen years old. During the next twenty years he wrote more than five hundred songs. www.zzs*&te#Many of Gershwins songs were first written for musical plays performed in theatres in New York City. These plays were a popular form of entertainment in the 1920s and 1930s. Many of his songs have remained popular as ever. Over the years they have been sung and played in every possible wayfrom jazz to country.In the 1920s there was a debate in the United States about jazz music. Could jazz, some people asked, be considered serious music? In 1924 jazz musician and orchestra leader Paul Whiteman decided to organize a special concert to show that jazz was serious music. Gershwin agreed to compose something for the concert before he realized he had just a few weeks to do it. And in that short time, he composed a piece for piano and orchestra which he called Rhapsody in Blue. Gershwin himself played the piano at the concert. The audience were thrilled when they heard his music. It made him world-famous and showed that jazz music could be both serious and popular. In 1928, Gershwin went to Paris. He applied to study composition(作曲)with the well-known musician Nadia Boulanger, but she rejected him. She was afraid that classical study would ruin his jazz-influenced style. While there, Gershwin wrote An American in Paris. When it was first performed, critics(评论家)were divided over the music. Some called it happy and full of life, to others it was silly and boring. But it quickly became popular in Europe and the United States. It still remains one of his most famous works.George Gershwin died in 1937, just days after doctors learned he had brain cancer. He was only thirty-nine years old. Newspapers all over the world reported his death on their front pages. People mourned the loss of the man and all the music he might have still written. 28Many of Gershwins musical works were Awritten about New YorkersBcomposed for Paul Whitemanwww.zz*&st#Cplayed mainly in the countrysideDperformed in various ways29What did Gershwin do during his stay in Paris?AHe created one of his best worksBHe studied with Nadia BoulangerCHe argued with French criticsDHe changed his music style30What do we learn from the last paragraph?中国教育出版*#%网AMany of Gershwins works were lostBThe death of Gershwin was widely reportedCA concert was held in memory of GershwinDBrain cancer research started after Gershwins death来源:中国教&育出版%网#31Which of the following best describes Gershwin?ATalented and productiveBSerious and boring中国*教育%&出版#网CPopular and unhappyDFriendly and honestDA new wave of psychological research is pioneering Virtual Reality (VR) to treat medical conditions from social anxiety to Alzheimer's disease.Riding a wave of interest in mental health tech, companies creating VR content for treatment are receiving a flood of attention and funding. And, while VR has been used successfully to treat post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) since the 1990s, these new programs address a much broader range of conditions. The library of Palo Alto-based Limbix, for instance, includes VR content designed to treat issues including alcohol addiction and teenage depression. Barcelona-based Psious offers treatments for eating disorders.中国教育出版*%#网Today's VR content is primarily designed to aid exposure treatment, a treatment for anxiety disorders in which patients are exposed to the “threats” they're worried about in a safe, controlled environment, eventually learning that the “threats” are not actually very dangerous. For example, someone who fears heights might visit taller and taller buildings under the guidance of their doctor, while someone with PTSD might revisit painful memories.VR allows doctors to create a safe and controlled environment inside a VR headset. It's a far safer, quicker and less expensive option. Using VR also gives doctors much more control over the intensity(强度)of their patients' experiences, which can lead to better treatment outcomes, said Stephane Bouchard, a professor at the University of Quebec. VR treatment patients can also do things they couldn't do in the real world. “In one of our studies, we asked patients who are afraid of heights to actually jump from a cliff,” Bouchard said.However, not all VR treatment content is created equal. “Some companies show videos of VR environments that are incomplete, untested and definitely haven't been tried out by psychologists,” Bouchard said. Clearer rules and standards will make it easier for patients and doctors to identify products that work.32What problems can VR be used to treat according to the passage?AThe fear of heights, blood pressure and eating disorders.BSocial anxiety, PTSD and alcohol addiction.CAlzheimer's disease, heart attack and teenage depression.DSleeping disorders, deafness and computer addiction.33What is the main idea of Para 4?AThe benefits of using VR treatment.BThe principles of using V R treatment.CThe side effects of using VR treatment.DThe causes of using VR treatment.中国#教&育出版*网34Which word can be used to describe the future of VR treatment?APassive.BUncertain.CPromising.DWorrying.35What will be most probably discussed in the paragraph following the passage?中#%国教育出版网AWide use of VR treatment.BCriteria of VR treatment.CProblems VR treatment are facing.DReasons why VR treatment standards are needed.来源%:z#z&step.com第二节 七选五（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项。来源:%#中*&教网Having the option to study abroad is exciting.
