    【1】

    主旨大意题。根据School-leaving age“Children have to stay at school until the age of 16. There is no upper age limit.” 孩子们必须在学校待到16岁。没有年龄上限。根据Alcohol“You have to be 18 to buy alcohol in a shop, but if you’re 16 and you’re having a meal in a pub, you can drink beer or wine with it.” 你必须年满18岁才能在商店买酒，但如果你16岁在酒吧吃饭，你可以搭配啤酒或葡萄酒。以及下文都在介绍在英国关于年龄和法律的一些事实。所以短文主要是关于年龄和法律。故选C项。

    【题目】Four ways the increasingly mobile workforce is transforming office design

    As more and more office employees start working from home full-time or only come into work on certain days of the week, it no longer makes sense for employers to keep the office in the old fashion.【1】 So, be ready to say goodbye to the days of cubicles (隔间) and fixed desk stations and welcome the following changes in modern offices.

    Including more resting spaces and leisure areas

    While some people tend to work more productively in traditional desk-and-chair environment, others feel better when they’re working from a sofa or bean-bag chair. 【2】 These could range from joined tables for those who want to work in a more relaxed manner and socialize with co-workers, to sound-proof spaces for those who prefer to work alone or in silence.

    【3】

    Traditional board rooms and conference rooms with tables big enough to host 20 people also fall victim to the remote workforce movement. In the new mobile climate, many employees are starting to come into the physical office merely for face-to-face meetings with co-workers or to bring in clients for presentations. This means that employees are specifically coming into the office for access to these meeting rooms, so these rooms should be sized accordingly.

    Using high-tech methods that narrow the gap between office and home

    【4】 To do this, some offices are using VoIP phones, which make phone calls through the internet rather than regular landlines, to help employees around the world appear as though they’re calling from the office.

    Creating smaller carbon footprint

    There are huge benefits, both financially and environmentally, to offices employing more mote workers. Fewer people in the office equal less needed space. 【5】 For employees, the ability to work remotely means an erased commute, which in turn will reduce air pollution and help create a smaller carbon footprint.

    A. Building smaller conference rooms.

    B. Providing more places for face-to-face communication.

    C. In this way, employees can find the spot that best suits them on a given day.

    D. Instead, offices are transforming in order to better serve employees floating in and out.

    E. Huge amount of money can be saved for employers by using less energy and water, lowering their utility bills.

    F. That’s why offices are creating a new mixture of furniture zones that offer both relaxing and traditional seating options.

    G. With more employees working from home, it’s critical to have the proper technology to connect people together easily.

    【题目】 There are many gardening tips. Some suggest playing music for your house plants, having conversations with them, or even giving them a gentle touch now and then. Most of these practices are probably more for the benefit of the gardener than the garden, and generally harmless enough but except the last one. Your plants really dislike it when you touch them.

    A new study out of the La Trobe Institute for Agriculture and Food has found that most plants are extremely sensitive to touch, and even a light touch can significantly stunt(阻碍) their growth. “The lightest touch from a human, animal, insect, or even plants touching each other in the wind, can cause a huge gene response in the plant,” Jim Whelan, who led the new study, said. “Within 30 minutes of being touched, 10% of the plant’s genome(基因组) is changed. This involves a huge expenditure(消耗) of energy which is taken away from plant growth. If the touching is repeated, then plant growth is reduced by up to 30%.”

    Whelan and his team are still trying to find out why plants respond, at the genetic level, so strongly. They do have some theories, however. We know that when an insect lands on a plant, genes are activated(激活) preparing the plant to defend itself against being eaten ,” said Dr. Yan Wang, co-author of the study.

    Until more research is done, it’s just a guess at this point. Still, the findings might already lead to new methods for how agriculturalists deal with their crops, to best promote healthier growth.

    It’s worth noticing that while the study found that plants often respond to just a single touch in negative ways, it’s really repeated touching that causes lasting stunted growth. That’s because the plants are looking for patterns in the touching, to tell harmful touch from random touch. So it doesn’t matter if you accidently brush up against a bush during a walk through the woods.

    【1】How is the passage mainly developed?

    A.By comparing

    B.By giving examples

    C.By listing numbers

    D.By showing results of studies

    【2】Why can touching stunt a plant growing according to the study?

    A.It leads to the plant’s energy expenditure.

    B.It makes the plant sensitive to threats.

    C.It causes a genetic disorder in the plant.

    D.It prevents the plant absorbing nutrients.

    【3】What’s the importance of the study by Whelan and his team?

    A.It gives us more useful gardening tips.

    B.It helps find ways to ensure plants’ healthy growth.

    C.It contributes to the further study on genes.

    D.It uses data to warn people not to touch plants.

    【4】What is the passage mainly about?

    A.Something is done to help plants grow.

    B.Plants’ genome can be changed easily.

    C.Plants don’t really like to be touched.

    D.What we do every day may destroy plants.
