A
Millions of New Yorkers and visitors ride the city’s subways and other trains each day.The public transportation system offers more than just a trip,however.It also has one of the most extensive public art collections in the world,with many of them under city streets.
Some people call it New York’s “underground art museum”.It includes more than 250 works of art. They are meant to brighten everyone’s ride around the city.
There is a huge painting of the night sky on the ceiling of Grand Central Terminal.New Yorkers have been looking up at that artwork for 111 years.In the nearby Grand Central Market,you can find a large,crystal light fixture,which was completed by sculptor Donald Lipski in 1988.Other artists include new ones and the long-famous ones such as Roy Lichtenstein and Sol Lewitt.
Sandra Bloodworth has directed the Metropolitan Transportation Authority’s arts program since it began in 1985.But actually,it really began much earlier,and some of it even dates back to the time when the subway first opened in 1904.
For the past 30 years,artists have been asked to make works that relate to city life or to the neighborhood around a train station.There are coastal scenes at stations near the Atlantic Ocean.Native plants and flowers can be found in a garden scene in Brooklyn.
Alejandra Acosta,a visitor from Colombia,said,“I think it’s nice to see these kinds of things when you’re walking in spaces like the subway stations that seem a little bit dull.They don’t have a lot of decorations.”
Those art works in New York’s “underground art museum” bring life into the dark passages.

Ⅱ.七选五
(2015山东潍坊一模)
Do you have a spare room in your house?Do you like to share your driveway in front of your garage with others?1. Many people are benefiting from this new business of renting.
Perhaps the best-known example of a company in this field is Airbnb—an American web business which allows you to rent out your spare room to holidaymakers.It says it operates in 34,000 cities and it has 800,000 listings of rooms and apartments.2.
A British company is doing something with parking spaces.JustPark’s founder,Anthony Eskinazi,says,“when I had the original idea.I spotted a driveway close to a sports stadium.It would have been so convenient if I could have just parked in that driveway rather than in a commercial car park.”3. Around 20,000 people have advertised their spaces on the website,and he says around half a million drivers use it.
4. They are people who run things like traditional hotels and commercial car parks.They are afraid of ending up losing money.
5. Regulations for these new businesses are unclear.How will renting out your driveway affect your neighbour?Because this is a new business world,those rules aren’t there yet.
A.They seem to have occupied the majority of the market.
B.Both of these can help you make money.
C.And there is another problem.
D.And his great idea has proved a success.
E.But the new business of renting has its competitors.
F.There are many ways to earn money.
G.A commercial ear park is inconvenient.

2.A 解析:考查对上下文的理解和推理判断。前句中提到Airbnb这个网站在34,000座城市之间应用,而且它还有800,000个房间和公寓的单子,由此可判断此处指的是这个网站公司看起来占据了大多数市场,在所有选项中只有选项A.They seem to have occupied the majority of the market符合语境,起到承接上文的作用,故选A项。
3.D 解析:考查对上下文的理解和推理判断。前句中提到的是一位成功人士的想法:如果可以就近停在那个车库里就比停在停车场方便多了;后句中提到很多人都看到了这个广告,而且大约50万的司机都用了,由此可判断此处表达的意思是他的这种想法取得了成功,所有选项中只有选项D.And his great idea has proved a success符合语境,起到承接上下文的作用,故选D项。

答案与解析:
【语篇导读】本文说明我们日常生活中的很多浪费现象,并号召大家要心存感恩之心去节约日常生活中那些东西。
1.has become 解析:考查动词的时态。句意:最近校园浪费现象很普遍。根据recently和句意可知,用现在完成时。waste是不可数名词,所以用has become。
2.left 解析:考查非谓语动词。句意:还有很多食物就倒掉。much指食物还很多,用过去分词表被动完成。
3.simply 解析:考查副词。句意:一些人洗完手就径直走开……用副词修饰动词。
4.running 解析:考查非谓语动词。让水一直流着。leave 后面动词的-ing 形式做宾语补足语,表示动作的延续性。
5.without 解析:考查介词。句意:有的同学离开教室而不去注意风扇是否被关闭。without“没有”。
6.that/which 解析:考查关系代词。句意:有着悠久历史的节俭之风从我们的生活中消失了吗? developed from our long history 是定语修饰先行词traditions ,用that/which代替物traditions引导定语从句,在从句中做主语。
7.If 解析:考查连词。句意:如果是这样,就把它找回来。根据句意可知填if。
8.shortage 解析:考查名词。句意:我们不需要花大力气来控制废物,但行动和一颗感恩的心是需要的;感谢穿过我们手指的水,并为那些挣扎在严重缺水的贫穷的阿拉伯或非洲国家而节约用水,用名词形式shortage。
9.a 解析:考查冠词。句意:感谢我们的灯光,因为还有很多贫困地区的孩子在昏暗的灯光下读书。lamp是单数可数名词,所以前面用冠词a表一类。
10.to satisfy 解析:考查非谓语动词。句意:我们要感谢我们能用纸,因为树木被砍伐掉做成了纸。用动词不定式表目的。
