12、 cried.“Your nails look great! Dont cut them！”“But theyre ruined，” I said, waving the broken one in her face.“Theyre not ruined，” she said.“You still have nine nails left！”I hesitated, with the scissors still in my hand.My nails certainly werent perfect anymore, and the opposite of perfect is ruined

13、, right?I mean, this is how I think about most things: Its all or nothing.Take my finances for example.I can spend weeks being sensible and buying only essential items, such as food for my family.And then one day, Ill see something expensive that I really like and buy it.Then, I think to myself “Wel

14、l, I already spent $100 on that dress last week, so I may as well spend $50 on this lipstick ” and give up saving entirely.Ive thought about why I act this way, but I dont know what causes this behavior.I seem to go from “good” to “complete catastrophe (灾难)” in a matter of moments.My brain only sees

15、 “perfect” or “disaster”， which is extremely unhelpful.We humans are never just good or badwe are far more complex.We have wins and we have losses and, occasionally, they are hard to tell apart.Some people understand this instinctively, while others struggle.For most of us, learning not to do the th

21、od to complete catastrophe in a matter of moments.My brain only sees perfect or disaster， which is extremely unhelpful.(我似乎在瞬间就从好变成了彻底的灾难。我的大脑只看到完美或灾难，这是非常无益的。)”可知，作者在生活中通常很节俭，但是遇到自己喜欢的东西却会不吝重金购买。作者的思维模式是：要么绝对完美，要么绝对彻底失败。由此推知，作者是用一种极端的方式看待生活的。故选C。6What did the author think of failure eventually?AIt

22、can lead to complete disaster in life.BIt is a normal part of life.CIt is something we need to overcome.DIt can help people to be stronger.B细节理解题。根据倒数第四段“Indeed, failure is part of life.We all fall occasionally, and we normally get straight back up.(的确，失败是生活的一部分。我们都会偶尔跌倒，但我们通常会重新站起来。)”可知，作者最终认为失败是我们

23、生活中很正常的一部分。故选B。7What is the passage mainly about?AThe cause of my inadvisable choices.BThe way to avoid the extremes.CThe effect of living with my choice.DThe proper attitude to imperfection.D主旨大意题。根据全文内容可知，文章从生活中作者的其中一个手指甲断了，而要将其他九个指甲也都剪掉这个话题展开论述。告诉我们现实生活中并没有完美的人，所以我们要学会接受生活中的不完美。故选D。CWhen I was wo

25、l，” she assured me, “and I find it fascinating.” She said “fascinating” the way a polite member of the FBI might describe your recent Internet searches.“You do eat pretty fast，” whispered my wife by the time Id placed my knives and forks down.Her mother shared the same view shortly after that, and s

26、oon the entire table were unanimous in this opinion.We were at my wifes parents home in Dublin because Auntie Carmel was visiting from New York, and it was a good chance for her to meet our son, who immediately adored her.We all adore Auntie Carmel for her ability to speak her mind in a way that nev

27、er seems rude.In fairness to Carmel, I do eat quickly.Im fond of saying its because I come from a large family.I now realize this makes no sense.There is also the fact that my wifes mum and Auntie Carmel themselves both come from a family of 12.The same is true for her dad.Yet somehow, none of them

28、eat as if their legs were on fire.Its a habit I picked up along the way, and I might have been permanently blind to it without this intervention.Left unexamined, it might have coloured my parenting, demanding my speed as a default (默认) for my son, for I remarked that his eating was slowing down a bi

34、climate change, the cooling load in the summertime has also been on the rise.Insulation (隔热)is currently the main solution for blocking heat from entering a building, but by applying an additional material that can delay heat penetration(渗透)，it can prevent the indoor temperature from rising and in t

35、urn lower the cooling load of the building.A research team in Korea has developed a new material for building walls that can help reduce the penetration of heat from the outside.The team directed by Dr.Sarng Woo Karng from KIST revealed that they have successfully done it through building walls by a

36、pplying a phase change material (PCM)One of the most common types is paraffin oil, which is used to make candles.A solid PCM absorbs heat as it transitions into liquid phase, so by using a case to hold it when it is in liquid phase without causing any leakage (渗漏)，it is possible to apply them to a b

37、uilding wall to block heat from entering inside.The problem, however, is that the PCM turns into liquid starting from the outermost layer, and the parts that are hot move upward, while the parts that are still relatively cool move downward.Thus, while the upper part may have completely melted, the l

38、ower part will have not, and as a result, heat will penetrate into the building through the area where the PCM is in liquid phase.In the end, the PCM becomes ineffective in controlling the indoor temperature and is rendered useless.Dr.Karngs team addressed the nonuniform phase change with bubble inj

39、ections.By injecting bubbles into the bottom part of the PCM enabled uniform circulation (流动)of the PCM in liquid phase.Dr.Karng said, “We expect that the insulating wall using the PCM bubble generator used in this study will contribute to reducing the amount of energy used to heat or cool a buildin

40、g.Insulation techniques using the PCM help reduce heat penetration, in combination with the building insulating material, and it can also be used as the outer walls of zeroenergy buildings.【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了建筑墙体中使用PCM材料能够抵御夏季热浪。12What kind of function do PCMs serve according to the text?ALowerin

41、g heat penetration.BMaking the walls stronger.CBeing used to make candles.DPerfecting the building walls.A细节理解题。根据第二段“A research team in Korea has developed a new material for building walls that can help reduce the penetration of heat from the outside.(韩国的一个研究小组开发了一种新的建筑墙体材料，可以帮助减少热量从外部渗透。)”及第三段内容可

42、知，PCM材料是一种能够防止热气渗透的物质。故选A项。13Why is a case used when the PCM is in liquid phase?ATo test its effect.BTo avoid the risks.CTo block the heat.DTo stay in shape.D细节理解题。根据第三段“A solid PCM absorbs heat as it transitions into liquid phase, so by using a case to hold it when it is in liquid phase without cau

43、sing any leakage (渗漏)，it is possible to apply them to a building wall to block heat from entering inside.(固态PCM在转变成液态时会吸收热量，所以当它处于液态时，用一个容器来装住它，这样就可以把它们用在建筑墙壁上而不会引起任何渗漏，且可以阻止热量进入房屋内部。)”可知，容器的作用在于固定其形状。故选D项。14What is the problem when PCMs turn into liquid phase from the solid one?ATheyll cause heat l

44、eakage.BTheyll lower heat penetration.CThey dont melt evenly.DTheyre hard to operate.C细节理解题。根据第四段中“Thus, while the upper part may have completely melted, the lower part will have not, and as a result, heat will penetrate into the building through the area where the PCM is in liquid phase.(因此，虽然上部可能已

45、经完全熔化，但下部还没有，因此，热量将通过PCM处于液态的区域渗透到建筑物中。)”可知，其问题在于熔化不均匀。故选C项。15What can we infer about insulation techniques using PCMs?AThey are imperfect.BThey are ineffective.CThey are lowcost.DThey are environmentallyfriendly.D推理判断题。根据最后一段“Insulation techniques using the PCM help reduce heat penetration, in comb

46、ination with the building insulating material, and it can also be used as the outer walls of zeroenergy buildings.(使用PCM的保温技术有助于减少热量渗透，与建筑保温材料相结合，它也可以用作零能耗建筑的外墙。)”可知，这项技术与建筑物的隔热材料结合起来，可以减少热量渗透，它也可以用作零能耗建筑物的外墙，因此这项技术是环保的。故选D项。第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5 分)阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Changin
