【解析】文章介绍了Sunergy Solar公司免费给作者提供太阳能热水器的故事。
【1】考查介词。be interested in意为“对……感兴趣”,是固定搭配。
【2】考查定语从句。“______2______was nice, experienced”与前后用逗号隔开,故判断是非限制性定语从句,先行词是a man,关系词在从句中作主语,指人,故要用who引导该从句。
【3】考查名词。该空作give的宾语,故要填名词。
【4】考查时态。由上下文可知,该句介绍的过去的动作,故该空应用一般过去时态。
【5】考查固定句式。afford to do sth.意为“负担得起做某事”,是固定句式。
【6】考查冠词。owner是可数名词,该处特指Sunergy Solar的主人,故该空应填定冠词the。
【7】考查动名词。by是介词,后面接名词或动名词作宾语。
【8】考查时态。该句的时间状语为now for a month,故判断该句应用现在完成时态。
【9】考查形容词比较级。否定词和比较级连用,表示最高级的意思。句意:我非常高兴(我再高兴不过了)。
【10】考查副词。修饰谓语动词用副词。

【题目】Whenever something looks interesting or beautiful,there's a natural impulse to catch and own it—which means, in this day and age,that we can't help reaching for our phones to take a picture when seeing beautiful things.
Though this would seem to be a wonderful solution,there are two big problems about taking pictures.Firstly, we're likely to be so busy taking the pictures that we forget to look at the world whose beauty and interest inspire us to take a photograph in the first place.And secondly,because we feel the pictures are safely stored in our phones,we never get around to look at them.
These problems would seem to be very much of today,a consequence of the tiny phones in our pockets.But they were noticed right at the beginning of the history of photography,when the average camera was the size of a grandfather clock.The first person who noticed them was the English art critic,John Ruskin.He was a travelling lover who realized that most tourists failed to notice or remember the beautiful things they saw.
He argued that humans have a born tendency(倾向)to respond to beauty and desire to keep it,but that there are bad expressions of this desire.At worst,we get into buying souvenirs or taking photographs.But,in Ruskin's eyes, there's one thing we should do and that is attempting to draw the interesting things we see,and it doesn't matter whether we happen to have any talent for doing so.
Before the invention of photography,people used to draw far more than they do today.It was an active necessity. But in the mid-19th century,photography killed drawing.It became something only "artists" would ever do,so Ruskin spent four years on a campaign to get people drawing again.
So if drawing had value even when it was practiced by people with no talent,it was for Ruskin because drawing can teach us to notice properly rather than watch absent-mindedly(心不在焉地).When describing what lies before our eyes with our own hands,we naturally move from a position of observing beauty in a loose way to one where we acquire a deep understanding of its parts.
【1】What does the underlined word "impulse" mean?
A. Interest. B. Urge.
C. Habit. D. Reaction.
【2】What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about?
A. An effective solution to storing something nice.
B. Reasons for taking pictures in the first place.
C. Problems related with taking photos.
D. Methods of storing pictures in phones.
【3】It can be inferred that John Ruskin______.
A. lived at the origin of photography
B. lived at the origin of drawing
C. studied the history of photography
D. was an English literature critic
【4】How did John Ruskin advise us to remember our travel?
A. By taking photographs.
B. By buying meaningful souvenirs.
C. By writing some travel notes.
D. By trying drawing what we see.

【题目】任务型阅读
Thomas Edison was one of the most successful inventors the world has ever seen.
But people found that although Edison was good at inventing new things, he was a poor fisherman. He used to spend an hour almost every day sitting at the side of a river and fish. He always fished all alone by himself.
People asked Edison, “Why are you so crazy about fishing when you are so bad at it?” His answer was, “I really never caught ant fish because I have never used any bait (诱饵).” Another question followed, “Why would you fish without bait?” Edison answered, “Because when you fish without bait, people don't disturb you and neither do the fish”
Sometimes the world's best inventor was the world's worst fisherman. In fact, because Edison was the world's worst fisherman, he could become the world's greatest inventor.
Are you setting aside some time for yourself to think? Here are some ideas for you:
Slowing down and taking long showers is a good idea.
Long walks are good too.
Afternoon naps have been proved to improve creativity.
A. But he never caught any fish.
B. It provides me my best time to think.
C. So is listening to some soft classical music.
D. In all, Edison has thousands of inventions.
E. He was asked the reason behind him being a fisherman.
F. To make your brain work better, you need to take a rest.
G. Set aside 15-20 minutes per day so that you can do nothing.

【题目】The Today I learned–The New York Times’ fun column always highlights some surprising and interesting facts. In that spirit,The New York Times lists some of the most eye-catching things out of the column and edits them into What I Learned This Year.Following are some facts out of What I Learned in 2016.
The world’s most-used natural resource (apart from water,listed at the second place and air,as the champion) is sand,which consists of extremely small pieces of stone-and it’s disappearing.
A team’s success (at work) is often driven by 3 factors (with the importance from high to low) —its culture,the interpersonal relationship and the IQ or talent of its individuals.
Giraffes have been keeping a secret from most of us for a long time: They’ really four different species,not one. The Greenland Shark lives at least 272 years and it could live as long as 512 years,which makes it the oldest living thing with a backbone(脊椎)on Earth.

Nearly 80 percent of teenagers say they don’t like to eat cereal porridge(燕麦粥)for breakfast,because they have to clean up the bowls after eating it.
It’s myth that closing unused apps on your smartphone will prolong battery life.And turning off Wi-Fi doesn’t help,either.
Annual percentage of highway death had been going down for the last four decades till it last year recorded the largest increase in 50 years.Blame Snapchat and other smarphone apps.
Death from gun-shooting is as enough as from car accidents in the United Stated and as scarce as from lightning strikes in Japan,which owns the reputation of one of the safest countries.
