Part I 阅读理解（第1–15题）
Passage A
Our city is often seen as a concrete jungle, but actually it has vast areas of farmland where its owners grow crops or seasonal fruits. If you're planning a day out with the family, these spots give kids a chance to pet and feed animals, and perhaps pick up a new hobby during a workshop.
Organic EcoPark
At this all-in-one family fun destination, buying an admission ticket will allow you to choose from a wide range of activities, such as playing on a bouncy castle, riding horses, feeding fish, picking vegetables and mushrooms, or taking part in a workshop.
Go Green Farm
At this farm, lots of the activities are mango-centric. You can get an insight into how the fruit is grown and how to use it to make drinks and cakes. You can even plant a mango tree. And it is pet-friendly. Your four-legged friends can have a good time there.
Sunrise Village
At this more than 200-year-old village, which is home to one of the largest rice production areas in the city, you will get a chance to know the entire rice production process. It will make your trip special. The village also offers walking tours, workshops, two-day camping experiences, and barbecue and picnic areas for visitors.
Butterfly Valley
The name of this farm comes from the fact that it is home to 80% of the city's butterfly species. And while you may get your fill of all things about butterflies, you can also sign up for painting classes, guided tours, and handicraft workshops there. The farm doesn't take walk-ins, so you need to make a reservation before heading out there.
Holiday Farm
If you're looking for unusual but fun things to do with the family, Holiday Farm will set you up with interesting workshops. And, of course, there's loads of play equipment to keep the kids busy in addition to camping experiences and parent-child activities.

Passage B
Philip Hayden, a primary school teacher, found a common weakness in some classrooms. They didn't have windows. And he felt it was affecting his students. "Most of the day, the kids are inside," Hayden said. "And they don't really get to see any trees, grass, or the blue sky."
The lack of windows does affect students' mental health, as research shows. It makes their concentration span (持续时间) shorter. But being in and around nature eases anxiety and has benefits for them. Students who have window view of trees do better academically, emotionally and creatively, and more of them graduate and go to college.
That's why Hayden decided to bring nature into classrooms. At first, he planned to print pictures of trees onto curtains in the classrooms as a way to brighten them up. However, his colleagues reminded him that curtains would take up the wall space for maps and other teaching materials. So he thought, "Why not use the ceilings? Teachers don't typically use the ceilings."
Hayden took all the photos of trees himself. Then he got them printed onto the ceilings. "Overall, the class attendance has gone up because students are happier and want to come in more frequently," he said. "It has all those elements of the science that help calm kids down and help them focus and communicate."
A student called Dave said that the new addition did bring him peace. "It is surprising to see trees here. It is pretty great and beautiful. When I look up, it feels like I am sitting under a tree," Dave said.
Hayden has launched a nonprofit program called Green Classrooms. The program has donated and installed "tree ceilings" in 10 school districts so far. "If you still don't believe in the science behind the art, you can try it yourself by going outside and looking up at the trees," said Hayden.
5. How much does it cost a parent with two kids to visit Holiday Farm?
- A. $50.
- B. $70.
- C. $80.
- D. $100.

Passage C
Birds gained the ability to fly about 150 million years ago, which was a major event in animal history. For a long time, however, scientists haven't fully understood how that happened.
Recently, a team of researchers found birds started to fly due to changes in the part of the brain called cerebellum (小脑), which is responsible for muscle control and physical movement.
For the study, the scientists carried out brain scans of modern birds. With the scans, the team tracked the brain activity of modern birds to see whether it was different when the birds were at rest and right after they flew for 10 minutes. They scanned eight birds and looked at 26 parts of the brain. Only the cerebellum showed significant changes in activity levels before and after flying for all the birds. These findings indicated that the ability to fly was connected to the cerebellum.
To determine exactly how birds started to fly, the research team needed to figure out what the cerebellum looked like in creatures that were alive around the time when birds began to fly. They studied a group of bird-like dinosaurs that had started to develop the brain conditions needed for flight.
The researchers couldn't look at the actual brains because those deteriorated (损坏) long ago. But they could look at the dinosaurs' skulls (颅骨), which once held the brains. In the dinosaurs that were developing the ability to fly, the team found a significant increase in the size of the cerebellum. They also noted signs of increased brain complexity.
These findings have confirmed a connection between flying and changes to the cerebellum. Next, the team hopes to identify the exact areas within the cerebellum that helped the brain prepare for flight.
10. What is the main idea of the passage?
- A. Teachers used ceilings to teach students.
- B. Teachers decorated ceilings in classrooms.
- C. Tree ceilings had advantages over curtains.
- D. Tree ceilings helped students perform better.

Part II 七选五（第16–20题）
It is well established that eating vegetables is good for us. Why, then, do some people like them while others don't? 16 ______
According to the research, people who eat vegetables and show an obvious unpleasant feeling for them can influence others. A team of scientists set out to investigate how the facial expressions that people make as they eat affect a person watching them.
They asked more than 200 college students to watch videos of other people eating raw broccoli. 17 ______ They would smile, seem neither happy nor sad, or look annoyed or upset by what they were eating.
The study found that when participants watched someone else eating broccoli with a strong dislike, they began to like broccoli less. 18 ______ When someone had a positive facial expression while eating broccoli, people watching them did not end up liking broccoli more.
19 ______ This means that if children see their parents or brothers and sisters not enjoying certain food, including vegetables, they might not want to eat them either.
The team hopes to understand more about how the behavior of adults influences children's enjoyment of food. 20 ______
选项：
- A. However, the opposite was not true.
