【题目】阅读下列短文,根据短文内容填空。在未给提示词的空白处仅填写一个适当的单词,在给出提示词的空白处用括号内所给词的正确形式填空。
Spring usually 【1】(begin) on February 3-5 every year. From this day on, the days get longer and the weather gets 【2】(warm). In addition, from this day to summer, we usually call this period the spring. Besides, it's also a traditional festival in China --- on behalf of the beginning of the new year. So it 【3】(value) greatly by Chinese people. There exists the popular custom of eating spring rolls and cakes on that day, so it has another saying of biting spring.
【答案】
【1】begins
【2】warmer
【3】is valued
【解析】
这是一篇记叙文。文章叙述春天给我们带来的变化。
【1】考查一般现在时态。句意:春天通常在每年的2月3-5日开始。根据every year可知句子用一般现在时态,再根据句子主语Spring是单数第三人称,故填begins。
【2】考查形容词比较级。句意:从这一天开始,白天变长,天气变暖。根据句意和longer可知此处用形容词比较级,故填warmer。
【3】考查一般现在时态的被动语态。句意:因此,它被中国人非常重视。此处value是动词,意思是“重视”,这里在将一个客观事实,且句子主语it和value之间是一种被动关系,所以用一般现在时态的被动语态,故填is valued。

【题目】In 1971, UN scholar Paolo Lugari started an eco-social experiment in Gaviotas, Colombia. Located in one of the most extreme climates, Gaviotas was described as a sustainable, self-sufficient village in an area that Lugari called ‘just a big, wet desert’.
‘They always put social experiments in the easiest places,’ Lugari said.’We wanted the hardest place. We figured if we could do it here, we could do it anywhere.’
‘Lugari just thought that someday the world would become so crowded that humans would have to learn to live in the planet's least desirable areas,’ wrote Alan Weisman, author of Gaviotas: A Village to Reinvent the World.
Today, Gaviotas is an eco-village with about 200 people. They farm organically. They use wind and solar power. Since 2004, Gaviotas has been 100% fossil fuel independent. The residents also enjoy free housing, schooling, and community meals. Shockingly, there are no weapons, no police, no jail and no mayor. But though these elements would make any social experiment a success, perhaps the most remarkable accomplishment is the planting of 1.5 million pine trees and palm trees. The various results of this new tree growth have been incredible. The shade of the trees has inspired the return of many rainforest species that were once native to the region. Additionally, the residents of Gaviotas enjoy a sustainable source of income from the resin(松香) harvested from the trees.
The United Nations named Gaviotas a model of sustainable development. The Colombia novelist and Noble Prize winner Grabriel Marquez called Lugari the ‘inventor of the world’.
A new study by a team of researchers has found that ‘nature's capacity to store carbon is steadily falling as the world's farmers expand croplands at the cost of the native ecosystem such as forests’.
Considering this disturbing fact—and as the world population increases towards an estimated 9 billion by the year 2050 and global warming continues to increase the planet's surface temperature—Gaviotas stands as one shining example of how things could be different.

A. there was never any rain in Gaviotas

A. the income of people in Gaviotas
B. the public security situation of Gaviotas

【题目】 Imagine a small group of people with a shared passion for the same craft. They all have different skills and approaches, but they come together to share skills, share stories, and share in the joy of making something.
Modern maker culture is filling headlines and lab spaces all over the world. The way makers communicate with each other has changed over time. In the past, skills mainly came from personal sit-downs with members of the group. But sometimes a teacher wasn’t available, or the one available didn' t know how to do the skill others wanted to learn.
Today a teacher doesn' t even have to be in the same country or occupy the same decade as the students. Thanks to the work of people who take the time to break down and share the details of their craft, an interested individual can learn anything. Guides may range from videos to diagrams and text. Regardless of the media, maker resources are meant to be shared.
One of the features of the maker movement is the crossover between different interests. Perhaps a passion for cars and for leathercraft can result in a truly custom interior (定制的内饰). Perhaps a love of knitting (编织)and robotics will result in a tiny ——but very mobile ——robotic furry cat.
And once you have started your creation, finding a community to share with is no longer limited to the people nearby. Modern makers have been sharing videos of their progress online for years, contributing greatly to the rapid spread of the maker movement. As different as the participants might be, they share enthusiasm, support, and a willingness to try.
Imagine making a ping-pong table together with your makers' team. One group builds the basic frame. Another group takes on the responsibility of painting. You knit the net. There is joy in just giving it a try. It will remind you of childhood creations. Whether you are an experienced programmer or just picking up a hammer for the first time, it is never a bad time to come up with an idea, try something, and share the results.
【1】How did makers communicate with each other in the past?
A.By meeting face to face.
B.By asking personal questions.
C.By visiting a teacher together.
D.By sitting together in a classroom.
【2】What does the underlined word " crossover" in Paragraph 4 mean?
A.Exchange.B.Difference.
C.Combination.D.Independence.
【3】What greatly speeds up the spread of modern maker culture?
A.The sharing of videos on the Internet.
B.The development of education.
C.The increasing willingness to share.
D.The increasing number of participants.
【4】Why does the author mention making a ping-pong table in the last paragraph?
A.To advise us to start small.
B.To inspire some creative ideas.
C.To stress the importance of childhood creations.
D.To encourage us to join in the maker movement.
