ACenter for Architecture CampYoung New Yorkers who never stop to be amazed by skyscrapers can imagine and build their own models － after they've learned how to handle the design challenges of really tall structures. Similar five-day programs exist for tree houses and bridges, and other offerings allow future architects to study digital design using 3-D computer modeling or old-school freehand drawing. For the latter, campers explore the city for various architectural wonders. Better still, participants take home the projects they create.Cooper Hewitt Design CampWhere better to improve your young creative skills in the country? Two educators guide each 25-kid class through a project that teaches design vocabulary and a four-step design process: describing problems，creating ideas， prototyping(原型设计) and testing.

When he tried the Irish accent, both he and his friend were amazed that his stutter almost vanished. They were able to have a long conversation without him stuttering at all, which had never happened before. He just couldn’t believe that something so simple could be the cure to a problem that had seriously affected his self-confidence ever since he was a child.“I couldn't believe it. I had been to so many speech therapists who never suggested this technique,” Prosser said.Interestingly, Nick has never been to Ireland, but he believes that speaking in an Irish accent comes naturally for him because of his mother, who comes from an Irish family. He suggests that people suffering from similar speech disorders try looking at their genealogies(家谱)and attempt to speak in an accent associated to them. However, local speech specialist Annette Stock said she had never heard about this technique.“We know as speech language therapists that singing certainly helps with people that have stutters but you can't just go around singing in your everyday life,” Stock said. “I think that this is something that works for, him and that’s fine. But in six months' time if it is still working I would be saying ‘wow that’s amazing’.”So why does the Irish accent make Prosser’s stutter disappear? No one knows for sure, but Ants Haines, who has been Nick's barber for years, has an interesting theory: he claims that this way, the 28-year-old spends more time thinking how to pronounce the words, which somehow helps.24. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “vanished” in paragraph 2?A Erupted. B. Worsened.C. Disappeared.D. Functioned25. What happened to Nick Prosser after he tried the Irish accent?A. He turned to his friends for their help.B. He had more faith in himself.C. He took pride in his language ability.D. He went to speech therapists for advice.26. How did Annette Stock react to Nick Prosser's suggestion?A. She doubted it.B. She tried to prove it.C. She was confirmed of it.D. She was amazed by its effect.27. What does Ants Haines intend to tell us?A. His relationship with Nick.B. His idea of the end of Nick's stutter.C. His convince in Nick's learning ability.D. The influence of speaking different accents.CIn his widely-read book, Bowling Alone: The Collapse and Revival of American Community, sociologist Robert Putnam told us a troubling truth: Americans were becoming more disconnected from each other－and in that isolation(孤独)was deep personal dissatisfaction.That book came out in 2000, before the age of mobile technology truly took hold Last year, a new book built on the conversation －Ruth Whippman’s America the Anxious: How Our Pursuit of Happiness Is Creating a Nation of Nervous Wrecks. Whippman looked around at the culture of self-help, self-care andhappiness-seeking in today’s America, saying, “Too often, we are told, ‘Happiness comes from within.’ But what we should understand is, ‘Happiness is other people.’ Study after study shows that good social relat ionship is a ‘necessary condition for happiness, ’meaning that humans can’t actually be happy without it.”Social engagement doesn't have to mean parties or huge circles of friends. As Whippman writes, “When asked, almost all people consistently report themselves as happier when they are around other people than when they are alone.” This can mean a quiet cup of tea shared with a trusted friend, or a small book club, walking group or a movie night with a neighbor.Christmas Day is a wonderful time to reflect on the power of community, the real joy that comes from accepting the fact that human beings－whether introverts(性格内向的人) or extroverts－are born social creatures who thrive(茁壮成长) when we develop relationships in ways that work for us.As Helen Keller once said, “Alone we can do so. little；together we can, do so much.” Together, we can make happiness a daily reality for ourselves and others.28. What is the attitude de of Robert Putnam and Whippman towards today’s American society?A. Confident.B. Disapproving.C. Unconcerned.D. Cautious29. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. Good social relationship.B. Whippman's new book.C. Study after study.D. The age of mobile technology.30. How can we achieve true happiness according to Whippman?A. By attending more parties.B. By making more friends.C. By standing in someone else's shoes.D. By surrounding ourselves with like-minded people.31. Why is Christmas Day mentioned in the text?A. To show the popularity of it.B. To demand more similar festivals.C. To stress the importance of social connection.D. To call on more people to join in the celebration.DNot all negative emotions(消极情绪) are necessarily bad. In fact，they can direct your behavior in useful ways. If you' re stuck in traffic and running late, anger with the situation might motivate you to find an alternative route, which will then remove your stress.Emotions have physiological effects, which can affect your health. Indeed, a new study, published inPsychology and Aging, shows that high levels of anger are associated with poor health in older people.226 adults aged 59－93 took part in the Canadian study Researchers took their blood samples(样本) to assess levels of chronic(慢性的)low- grade inflammation(炎症) and asked the participants to report any age-related chronic illnesses they might have. The participants also completed a short questionnaire about the level of anger or sadness they experienced in three typical days over a one-week period.For the analysis, the researchers considered whether age could affect the results. They found that higher levels of anger were associated with inflammation and ill health in the oldest participants(aged 80 and above), but not he youngest ones(aged 59－79). Sadness was not associated with inflammation or ill health in either age group.To get a fuller understanding of the relationship between negative emotions and health, we need studies that follow participants for a period of time. Future studies should also take into consideration other factors(因素) that might be involved, such as other emotions(both positive and negative), clinical depression, stress and personality.Although this new research shows a link between emotion and health in older age, we do not know whether anger causes inflammation and illness or whether health problems make people angrier.32. What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 3?A. Introduce the procedure of the research.B. Provide some background information.C. Make some suggestions to the elderly.D. Emphasize the importance of feelings.33. At what age do higher levels of anger affect health?A.59.B.69.C.79.D. 8934. What should we do to know more about the link between negative emotions and health?A Stay in company with the participants.B. Observe participants closely for some time.C. Take other groups of people into consideration.D. Ask more people to participate in future studies35. What might be the suitable title for the text?A Adjusting Our Emotions Is Necessary.B. Not All Negative Emotions Are Bad.C. Anger Linked to Illness in Old Age.D. New Conclusions Make Us Amazed.第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
