2．Early fifth-century philosopher St.Augustine famously wrote that he knew what time was unless someone asked him.Albert Einstein added another wrinkle when he theorized that time varies depending on where you measure it.Today's state-of-the-art atomic（原子的）clocks have proven Einstein right.Even advanced physics can't decisively tell us what time is，because the answer depends on the question you're asking.
Forget about time as an absolute.What if，instead of considering time in terms of astronomy，we related time to ecology？What if we allowed environmental conditions to set the tempo （節(jié)奏） of human life？We're increasingly aware of the fact that we can't control Earth systems with engineering alone，and realizing that we need to moderate（調(diào)節(jié)）our actions if we hope to live in balance.What if our definition of time reflected that？
Recently，I conceptualized a new approach to timekeeping that's connected to circumstances on our planet，conditions that might change as a result of global warming.We're now building a clock at the Anchorage Museum that reflects the total flow of several major Alaskan rivers，which are sensitive to local and global environmental changes.We've programmed it to match an atomic clock if the waterways continue to flow at their present rate.If the rivers run faster in the future on average，the clock will get ahead of standard time.If they run slower，you'll see the opposite effect.
The clock registers both short-term irregularities and long-term trends in river dynamics.It's a sort of observatory that reveals how the rivers are behaving from their own temporal frame （時間框架），and allows us to witness those changes on our smartwatches or phones.Anyone who opts to go on Alaska Mean River Time will live in harmony with the planet.Anyone who considers river time in relation to atomic time will encounter a major imbalance and may be motivated to counteract it by consuming less fuel or supporting greener policies.
Even if this method of timekeeping is novel in its particulars，early agricultural societies also connected time to natural phenomena.In pre-Classical Greece，for instance，people "corrected" official calendars by shifting dates forward or backward to reflect the change of season.Temporal connection to the environment was vital to their survival.Likewise，river time and other timekeeping systems we're developing may encourage environmental awareness.
When St.Augustine admitted his inability to define time，he highlighted one of time's most noticeable qualities：Time becomes meaningful only in a defined context.Any timekeeping system is valid，and each is as praiseworthy as its purpose.
（1）What is the main idea of Paragraph 1？
A．Timekeeping is increasingly related to nature.
B．Everyone can define time on their own terms.
C．The qualities of time vary with how you measure it.
D．Time is a major concern of philosophers and scientists.
（2）The author raises three questions in Paragraph 2 mainly to.
A．present an assumption
B．evaluate an argument
C．highlight an experiment
D．introduce an approach
（3）What can we learn from this passage？
A．Those who do not go on river time will live an imbalanced life.
B．New ways of measuring time can help to control Earth systems.
C．Atomic time will get ahead of river time if the rivers run slower.
D．Modern technology may help to shape the rivers' temporal frame.
（4）What can we infer from this passage？
A．It is crucial to improve the definition of time.
B．A fixed frame will make time meaningless.
C．We should live in harmony with nature.
D．History is a mirror reflecting reality.組卷：25引用：8難度：0.7 -
3．Children may learn new words better when they learn them in the context of other words they are just learning-according to a new research from the University of East Anglia.
Researchers investigated how 18-24-month-olds learn new words - in the context of words they already know well and those they don't.The findings help explain how children learn new words and suggest a new way that parents and careers could help boost language development.
Previous research suggests that when children hear a word they do not know and sec an object they have never seen in the context of some objects that they can already name，such as a toy or a ball，they guess that the new word refers to the new thing.
Dr.Larissa Samuelson from the university wanted to know of the strength of a child's knowledge of familiar things - how well they know what "cars" or "balls" are，for example-mattered for learning new words and remembering them.They asked 82 children to take part in the study and carry out two experiments among them.And then they got some really surprising findings.
"We had expected that a stronger knowledge of familiar words would be better for learning new words，but we found the opposite was true. "Dr Samuelson said. "This new study suggests another way we might be able to help boost children's ability lo remember new word-object links-by teaching them in the context of other things that they are just learning."
It seems counterintuitive，but it is perhaps because the less well-known items don't compete with the new words as much.If they learn new words in the context of playing with well-known items such as a ball or book，they don't process the new word as much.
（1）What is the purpose of the new research？
A．To challenge the findings of previous studies.
B．To observe the process of children's learning.
C．To better understand children's word learning.
D．To compare children's different learning styles.
（2）What can be inferred from Dr.Samuelson's words？
A．Their findings are out of expectation.
B．Their research should focus on children.
C．We should be more patient with children.
D．We need to provide guidance on learning.
（3）What does the underlined word"counterintuitive" mean in the last paragraph？
A．Consistent.
B．Encouraging.
C．Impractical.
D．Unreasonable.
（4）What does the text mainly tell us？
A．Less familiar words help children learn better.
B．Word-object links contribute to better learning.
C．New research finds the secrets of raising children.
D．Children learn better with the help of their parents.組卷：19引用：6難度：0.5

Getting to Know the Plants Around Us

9．My teenage son，Jordan，always complained about having to be home earlier than all his friends.He would tell me that he was already seventeen，but still had a curfew（宵禁），He believed he was practically an adult.I pointed out that he was not an adult as he was still in high school.
"You don't trust me!" he yelled.Before I continued，he rolled his eyes，slammed the door and walked away.I sighed.How could I make Jordan see that I only wanted to keep him safe？
I decided to go for a walk，hoping the December air would clear my head.I opened the front door and nearly stepped on her：a small black cat，just like a meatball. "Hi，Meatball，" I said，bringing her into my arms.I walked back in，touching her neck gently.Meatball seemed happy enough to come in the house，but after an hour or two，she sat by the door，meowing to go back outside.
"Why won't she just stay in with us all the time？" Nathan，my youngest son asked.
I explained to him that she was happy here but she liked being able to come and go as she pleased.
"That must be nice，" Jordan muttered from the other room，complaining why the cat，not him，could come and go.He even asked me to give Meatball a curfew.
Meatball became a regular.
One night，temperatures were unusually low.Meatball stood at the door，meowing to go outside.
I shook my head at her，afraid that she might freeze to death.She stared at me and meowed again.I patted her head， "I know you're not happy，but it's for your own good."
"Mom's not being mean to you，" Nathan told the cat. "She's just trying to keep you from turning into a frozen meatball." We both laughed at his joke.
The next morning，I couldn't find Meatball.I asked the kids if anyone had seen her.
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。
Jordan nodded，" I let her out last night."_________________
As I drove to the animal hospital，Jordan sat in the back，holding Meatball inside his coat.__________組卷：17引用：12難度：0.5
