wall painting is part of tom’s output. he has created a wall painting for electric picnic along with four other artists invited to take part in this commission. his wall painting has a special theme, portrayed by doves (鸽子). as well as his anti-war standpoint, he is doing something meaningful. tom is a founding member of a tree planting project called trees please. the group has distributed 10, 000 trees in about four years across ireland.
humour is also important for tom in his art. he can treat heavy subjects with irony, often employing an aggressive combination of lively colors and animals with wistful expressions communicating the importance of respect, peace, understanding and love. he has done creative work for mental health charities.
tom was born with a love for art. he enjoys playing musical instruments in public, like the violin. he gets lots of smiles from people. he also sings and has an online channel featuring his songs, which are very improvised (即兴的). all this creativity is a lifeline for him, who believes that art is a necessity rather than a luxury.

humans have long known that being in nature is good for the mind and body. from indigenous (本土的) adolescents completing the adult ceremony in the wild to modern east asian cultures taking “forest baths”, many have looked to nature as a place for healing and personal growth. but the question still remains. how can nature make it
there is no doubt that being in nature reduces the physiological symptoms of stress in our bodies. what this means is that we are less likely to be anxious and fearful in nature, and therefore we can be more open to other people and creative patterns of thought. also, nature often leads to awe, wonder and respect, all these emotions facilitating everything from physical to mental health. there is also some evidence that exposure to nature impacts the brain. viewing natural beauty makes specific reward circuits in the brain associated with dopamine release, a chemical that gives us a sense of purpose, joy and energy to pursue our goals.
but, regrettably, people seem to be spending less time outdoors and less time in nature than before. it is also clear that, in the past 30 years, people’s levels of stress and sense of “busyness” have risen dramatically. these joint forces have led environmental writer richard louv to coin the term “nature deficit disorder”—a form of suffering that comes from a sense of disconnection from nature and its powers.
perhaps we should take note and try a course corrective. the 19th century philosopher ralph waldo emerson once wrote about nature, “there i feel that nothing can befall me in life—no disgrace, no calamity.” the science speaks to emerson’s intuition. it’s time to realize that nature is more than just a material resource. it’s also a pathway to human health and happiness.
8. why are “indigenous adolescents” and “modern east asian cultures” mentioned in paragraph 1
a. to clarify a viewpoint. b. to answer the question below.
c. to present the natural scenery. d. to show the cultural differences.
9. what does the underlined word “facilitating” in paragraph 2 mean
a. restricting. b. exposing. c. promoting. d. covering.
10. what is the tone of the author in writing paragraph 3
a. uneasy. b. indifferent. c. humorous. d. proud.
11. what can be the best title for the text
a. is it time to challenge yourself in nature
b. do you know nature is a material resource
c. why do we care about the natural environment
d. what can happen when we connect with nature
d
nash equilibrium (纳什均衡) is named after john nash, an american mathematician. it is a kind of concept, which attempts to determine mathematically and logically the actions that participants of a game should take to secure the best outcomes for themselves.
to find it in a game, one would have to model out each of the possible scenarios to determine the results and then choose what the most satisfactory strategy would be. in a two-person game, this would take into consideration the possible strategies that both players could choose. if neither player changes their strategy knowing all of the information, a nash equilibrium has occurred.
imagine a game between tom and sam. in this simple game, both players can choose strategy a to receive $1, or strategy b to lose $1. logically, both players choose strategy a and receive a payoff of $1. if you revealed sam’s strategy to tom and vice versa (反之亦然), you see that no player’s choice is different from the original one. knowing the other player’s move means little and doesn’t change either player’s behavior. outcome a represents the nash equilibrium.
nash equilibrium helps a player determine the best payoff in a situation based on not only their decisions but also the decisions of other parties involved. it can also be used in many aspects of life, from economics to social behavioral sciences, from business strategies to a house sale and so on.
unlike dominant strategy, nash equilibrium doesn’t always lead to the most satisfactory outcome. in most cases, such as in war, whether that is a military war or a bidding war, an individual rarely knows the opponent’s strategy or what they want the outcome to be. it just means that an individual chooses the best strategy based on the information they have. nash equilibrium can only occur if a player chooses to remain with their current strategy if they know their opponent’s strategy. furthermore, in multiple games played with the same opponents, it does not take into consideration past behavior, which often predicts future behavior.
12. which kind of concept does nash equilibrium belong to
a. game theory. b. secrecy strategies.
c. player information. d. participation qualifications.
13. how does the author explain nash equilibrium in paragraph 3
a. by quoting sayings. b. by drawing a parallel.
c. by giving an illustration. d. by summarizing reasons.
14. what does paragraph 4 mainly tell us about nash equilibrium
a its elements. b. its applications. c. its drawbacks. d. its backgrounds.
15. what is the author’s attitude to nash equilibrium
a. resistant. b. objective. c. confused. d. curious.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
thirty years ago, i was a sixteen-year-old boy, tall and thin. it was the end of summer and the cool winds of fall were in the air. in front of a house, there was a truckload of wood, which my father, my brother and i had unloaded the day before.
my father and my brother were out to do farm work, so i needed to move these pieces of wood around the house again and again to where we were piling the chooped wood. and then i would cover it with oilcloth to keep it from getting wet. in those days, we used to use these wood fires to cook. we tried our best to collect firewood because we still needed some to get through the whole winter.
i worked fast at first, but soon i realized that i needed to go slower if i didn’t want to make myself too tired. then i spent much time piling the wood and tying it together with a rope in case of falling down. to start with, i thought the work was boring. but then it became a game for me. seeing that i could pile the wood so neatly, i smiled during the hard work.
after a while, the wood was all piled up, and my skinny arms felt a little sore. however, i didn’t stop working. i still needed to fetch some water with containers from the spring near our home. our well water was so full of iron that it tasted terrible, so all cooking and drinking water had to come from the spring. the five-gallon containers felt like they weighed a ton, but i picked one at a time and carried them all up the hill to my house.
as i carried the last container back home, i saw my mother smiling at me at the door with a glass of tea in her hand. she said to me, “here you are, baby. just take a break.” we sat down with our dogs at our feet, watching the leaves blowing in the wind. relaxing in the moment of peace and harmony, i figured out a good way to get water easier.
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。
i decided to make a pipe to convey water.

humans have long known that being in nature is good for the mind and body. from indigenous (本土的) adolescents completing the adult ceremony in the wild to modern east asian cultures taking “forest baths”, many have looked to nature as a place for healing and personal growth. but the question still remains. how can nature make it
there is no doubt that being in nature reduces the physiological symptoms of stress in our bodies. what this means is that we are less likely to be anxious and fearful in nature and therefore we can be more open to other people and creative patterns of thought. also, nature often leads to awe, wonder and respect, all these emotions facilitating everything from physical to mental health. there is also some evidence that exposure to nature impacts the brain. viewing natural beauty makes specific reward circuits in the brain associated with dopamine release, a chemical that gives us a sense of purpose, joy and energy to pursue our goals.
but, regrettably, people seem to be spending less time outdoors and less time in nature than before. it is also clear that, in the past 30 years, people’s levels of stress and sense of “busyness” have risen dramatically. these joint forces have led environmental writer richard louv to coin the term “nature deficit disorder”—a form of suffering that comes from a sense of disconnection from nature and its powers.
perhaps we should take note and try a course corrective. the 19th century philosopher ralph waldo emerson once wrote about nature, “there i feel that nothing can befall me in life—no disgrace, no calamity.” the science speaks to emerson’s intuition. it’s time to realize that nature is more than just a material resource. it’s also a pathway to human health and happiness.
8. why are “indigenous adolescents” and “modern east asian cultures” mentioned in paragraph 1
a. to clarify a viewpoint. b. to answer the question below.
c. to present the natural scenery. d. to show the cultural differences.
9. what does the underlined word “facilitating” in paragraph 2 mean
a. restricting. b. exposing. c. promoting. d. covering.
10. what is the tone of the author in writing paragraph 3
a. uneasy. b. indifferent. c. humorous. d. proud.
11. what can be the best title for the text
a. is it time to challenge yourself in nature
b. do you know nature is a material resource
c. why do we care about the natural environment
d. what can happen when we connect with nature
【答案】8. a 9. c 10. a 11. d
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了接触大自然的好处:促进身心健康。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“humans have long known that being in nature is good for the mind and body. from indigenous(本土的) adolescents completing the adult ceremony in the wild to modern east asian cultures taking “forest baths”, many have looked to nature as a place for healing and personal growth. but the question still remains. how can nature make it ”(人类早就知道身处大自然对身心都有好处。从在野外完成成人仪式的土著青少年到现代东亚文化中的“森林浴”,许多人都将大自然视为治愈和个人成长的地方。但问题依然存在。大自然是怎么做到的呢?)可推知,作者提及土著青少年和现代东亚文化是为了阐明一个观点:置身大自然对身心都有好处。故选a项。
【9题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第二段中“there is no doubt that being in nature reduces the physiological symptoms of stress in our bodies.”(毫无疑问,在大自然中可以减少我们身体中压力的生理症状。)以及“there is also some evidence that exposure to nature impacts the brain.”(还有一些证据表明,接触大自然会影响大脑。)由此可知,此处为大自然常常让人敬畏、惊叹和尊重,所有这些情感都有助于从身体到心理健康的一切。故可猜测划线单词facilitating为“促进”的意思,结合选项c项promoting“促进”意思一致。故选c项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“but, regrettably, people seem to be spending less time outdoors and less time in nature than before. it is also clear that, in the past 30 years, people’s levels of stress and sense of “busyness” have risen dramatically. these joint forces have led environmental writer richard louv to coin the term “nature deficit disorder”—a form of suffering that comes from a sense of disconnection from nature and its powers.”(但是,令人遗憾的是,人们花在户外和大自然中的时间似乎比以前少了。同样明显的是,在过去的30年里,人们的压力水平和“忙碌”感急剧上升。这些共同的力量使得环境作家richard louv创造了“自然缺失症”这个术语——一种来自于与自然及其力量脱节的痛苦。)可推知,作者写第三段的语气是不安的,对此感到很担忧,regrettably也是答案的提示词。故选a项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及第一段中“from indigenous(本土的) adolescents completing the adult ceremony in the wild to modern east asian cultures taking “forest baths”, many have looked to nature as a place for healing and personal growth. but the question still remains. how can nature make it ”(从在野外完成成人仪式的土著青少年到现代东亚文化中的“森林浴”,许多人都将大自然视为治愈和个人成长的地方。但问题依然存在。大自然是怎么做到的呢?)可知,文章介绍了接触大自然的好处:促进身心健康。因此可知,“当我们与自然联系时,会发生什么?”为最佳标题。故选d项。

nash equilibrium (纳什均衡) is named after john nash, an american mathematician. it is a kind of concept, which attempts to determine mathematically and logically the actions that participants of a game should take to secure the best outcomes for themselves.
to find it in a game, one would have to model out each of the possible scenarios to determine the results and then choose what the most satisfactory strategy would be. in a two-person game, this would take into consideration the possible strategies that both players could choose. if neither player changes their strategy knowing all of the information, a nash equilibrium has occurred.
imagine a game between tom and sam. in this simple game, both players can choose strategy a to receive $1, or strategy b to lose $1. logically, both players choose strategy a and receive a payoff of $1. if you revealed sam’s strategy to tom and vice versa (反之亦然), you see that no player’s choice is different from the original one. knowing the other player’s move means little and doesn’t change either player’s behavior. outcome a represents the nash equilibrium.
nash equilibrium helps a player determine the best payoff in a situation based on not only their decisions but also the decisions of other parties involved. it can also be used in many aspects of life, from economics to social behavioral sciences, from business strategies to a house sale and so on.
unlike dominant strategy, nash equilibrium doesn’t always lead to the most satisfactory outcome. in most cases, such as in war, whether that is a military war or a bidding war, an individual rarely knows the opponent’s strategy or what they want the outcome to be. it just means that an individual chooses the best strategy based on the information they have. nash equilibrium can only occur if a player chooses to remain with their current strategy if they know their opponent’s strategy. furthermore, in multiple games played with the same opponents, it does not take into consideration past behavior, which often predicts future behavior.
12. which kind of concept does nash equilibrium belong to
a. game theory. b. secrecy strategies.
c. player information. d. participation qualifications.
13. how does the author explain nash equilibrium in paragraph 3
a. by quoting sayings. b. by drawing a parallel.
c. by giving an illustration. d. by summarizing reasons.
14. what does paragraph 4 mainly tell us about nash equilibrium
a. its elements. b. its applications. c. its drawbacks. d. its backgrounds.
15. what is the author’s attitude to nash equilibrium
a. resistant. b. objective. c. confused. d. curious.
【答案】12. a 13. c 14. b 15. b
【解析】

细节理解题。根据第一段“nash equilibrium (纳什均衡) is named after john nash, an american mathematician. it is a kind of concept, which attempts to determine mathematically and logically the actions that participants of a game should take to secure the best outcomes for themselves.”(纳什均衡是以美国数学家约翰·纳什的名字命名的。这是一种概念,它试图从数学和逻辑上确定游戏参与者应该采取的行动,以确保自己获得最佳结果。)可知,纳什均衡属于一种游戏理论概念。故选a项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“imagine a game between tom and sam. in this simple game, both players can choose strategy a to receive $1, or strategy b to lose $1. logically, both players choose strategy a and receive a payoff of $1. if you revealed sam’s strategy to tom and vice versa (反之亦然), you see that no player’s choice is different from the original one. knowing the other player’s move means little and doesn’t change either player’s behavior. outcome a represents the nash equilibrium.”(想象一下汤姆和萨姆之间的一场比赛。在这个简单的游戏中,双方玩家都可以选择策略a获得1美元,或者选择策略b损失1美元。逻辑上,双方都选择策略a并获得1美元收益。如果你将sam的策略透露给tom,反之亦然,你会发现没有玩家的选择与最初的不同。知道其他玩家的移动并不意味着什么,也不会改变任何玩家的行为。结果a代表纳什均衡。)可推知,作者通过举例说明解释第三段中的纳什均衡。故选c项。
【14题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段“nash equilibrium helps a player determine the best payoff in a situation based on not only their decisions but also the decisions of other parties involved. it can also be used in many aspects of life, from economics to social behavioral sciences, from business strategies to a house sale and so on.”(纳什均衡帮助玩家在一种情况下确定最佳收益,这种情况不仅基于他们自己的决策,也基于其他参与方的决策。它也可以用于生活的许多方面,从经济学到社会行为科学,从商业策略到房屋销售等等。)可知,关于纳什均衡,第四段主要告诉了我们它的应用。故选b项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“nash equilibrium helps a player determine the best payoff in a situation based on not only their decisions but also the decisions of other parties involved.”(纳什均衡帮助玩家在一种情况下确定最佳收益,这种情况不仅基于他们自己的决策,也基于其他参与方的决策。)以及第五段中“unlike dominant strategy, nash equilibrium doesn’t always lead to the most satisfactory outcome.”(与优势策略不同,纳什均衡并不总是导致最令人满意的结果。)可知,第四段谈到纳什均衡帮助玩家在一种情况下确定最佳收益,第五段指出纳什均衡并不总是导致最令人满意的结果。由此可推知,作者客观地看待纳什均衡。故选b项。

【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了在巴基斯坦拉瓦尔品第,“中国花屋”提供了各种从中国进口的逼真的人造花卉和植物,以其吸引人的颜色、设计和多样性吸引着每一个进店的人。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:在巴基斯坦拉瓦尔品第,“中国花屋”提供了各种从中国进口的逼真的人造花卉和植物,以其吸引人的颜色、设计和多样性吸引着每一个进店的人。分析句子可知,本句不缺谓语。import和其逻辑主语是动宾关系,所以此处是用过去分词作后置定语。故填imported。
【37题详解】
考查介词。句意:巴基斯坦人喜欢用这些由聚酯纤维制成的美丽的中国花卉和植物来装饰他们的房子、办公室、花园、婚礼派对和其他活动。分析句子可知,此处为动词短语decorate sth with sth 意为“用某物装饰某物”,所以此处为介词with的填入。故填with。
【38题详解】
考查副词。句意:从字面上看,没有人能从它们的形状和质地判断它们是真的还是假的。分析句子可知,此处为副词作状语修饰整个句子,所以此处要用副词形式。故填literally。
【39题详解】
考查代词。句意:除了外形吸引人之外,这些产品由高质量材料制成,易于维护,没有任何麻烦,而且具有成本效益。此处作定语修饰后面的名词,所以要用形容词性物主代词。故填their。
【40题详解】
考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意:除了外形吸引人之外,这些产品由高质量材料制成,易于维护,没有任何麻烦,而且具有成本效益。分析句子可知,本句缺少谓语;结合句意可知,此处应为陈述客观事实,所以为一般现在时,主语products是复数,所以此处要填are。故填are。
【41题详解】
考查名词单复数。句意:这些都是家居和活动装饰师所钟爱的基本功能。feature是可数名词,空格前没有限定词,所以此处要填该名词的复数形式,满足句意要求。故填features。
【42题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意:我从事这一行业已经20年了,从未见过中国花卉和植物的需求和销售减少,中国制造商在提高质量和设计以满足当地客户需求方面的能力非常出色。根据句子的时间状语可知,本句要用现在完成时;谓语involve in和主语i是动宾关系,所以本句要用现在完成时的被动语态。故填have been involved。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:我从事这一行业已经20年了,从未见过中国花卉和植物的需求和销售减少,中国制造商在提高质量和设计以满足当地客户需求方面的能力非常出色。分析句子可知,本句不缺谓语;应为非谓语动词作状语,add和其逻辑主语i是主谓关系,所以为现在分词形式。故填adding。
【44题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:naseem zadi说:“我来为我新建的房子买花,我想装饰一下。分析句子可知,本句是非限制性定语从句,先行词指物,关系代词在从句中作宾语,所以此处填关系代词which。故填which。
【45题详解】
考查连词。句意:许多人在繁忙的日程中没有足够的时间照顾真正的花草,而人造的花草看起来又可爱又迷人。根据句意可知,空格前后是并列关系,所以此处要填and。故填and。

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
thirty years ago, i was a sixteen-year-old boy, tall and thin. it was the end of summer and the cool winds of fall were in the air. in front of a house, there was a truckload of wood, which my father, my brother and i had unloaded the day before.
my father and my brother were out to do farm work, so i needed to move these pieces of wood around the house again and again to where we were piling the chooped wood. and then i would cover it with oilcloth to keep it from getting wet. in those days, we used to use these wood fires to cook. we tried our best to collect firewood because we still needed some to get through the whole winter.
i worked fast at first, but soon i realized that i needed to go slower if i didn’t want to make myself too tired. then i spent much time piling the wood and tying it together with a rope in case of falling down. to start with, i thought the work was boring. but then it became a game for me. seeing that i could pile the wood so neatly, i smiled during the hard work.
after a while, the wood was all piled up, and my skinny arms felt a little sore. however, i didn’t stop working. i still needed to fetch some water with containers from the spring near our home. our well water was so full of iron that it tasted terrible, so all cooking and drinking water had to come from the spring. the five-gallon containers felt like they weighed a ton, but i picked one at a time and carried them all up the hill to my house.
as i carried the last container back home, i saw my mother smiling at me at the door with a glass of tea in her hand. she said to me, “here you are, baby. just take a break.” we sat down with our dogs at our feet, watching the leaves blowing in the wind. relaxing in the moment of peace and harmony, i figured out a good way to get water easier.
注意:
1.续写词数应为 150左右;

i decided to make a pipe to convey water.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
my neighbors came to my house to get water at dusk.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】范文
i decided to make a pipe to convey water. i managed to dig a deep hole and inserted a pipe. the pipe was long enough to reach the spring while preventing animals from drinking the water. as the pipe was laid, i connected it to a container and successfully directed water to it. my mother was thrilled to see this new system worked. this not only reduced her workload but also made fetching water a much less strenuous task. the pipe system was a huge success with our neighbors.
my neighbors came to my house to get water at dusk. they were all very appreciative of my ingenuity and hard work. they even helped me improve the system by adding a second pipe and a larger container. this additional pipe would allow more water to be fetched at once, reducing the number of trips needed. the larger container would store more water, making it last longer. it was a win-win situation for everyone.
