第二节完型填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）
We all love our parents and turn to them when we’re in need, but would you like them to hear the __21__ you have with your friends in the school playground or lunch queue? Social networking sites, such as micro-blog, blog and the Facebook, have actually become __22__ of the school hallways (走廊), so would you add your parents as “friends” and allow them to __23__ your online __24__ and conversations with friends?
In the past the generation gap included a technology gap, where children were __25__ with latest technology and parents were left behind, content to continue their day-to-day lives as they always had because they had no __26__ to be good at new technology. __27__, more and more parents are beginning to __28__ just how important
social networks are in their lives. This realization has given many parents the __29__ to educate themselves about social networking sites.
These days many people are __30__ to social networking sites because they can choose who they have around them; there’s also a certain amount of control over __31__ that we don’t get in real life. Sometimes we feel that privacy is __32__ when we must accept a “friend” reques t from a parent or family member.
It’s a difficult choice whether or not to allow a parent to become a part of our __33__ lives. On the one hand we don’t want to “refuse” their request because that might hurt their feelings or make them feel you have something to __34__. On the other hand, if you do accept, then you could have a(n) __35__ of being watched and no longer feel __36__ to comment or communicate the way you did before.
A recent survey suggested that parents shouldn’t take it personally if their c hild ignores their request: “When a teen ignores a parent’s friend request, it doesn’t __37__ mean that they are hiding something, but it could mean that this is one part of their life where they want to be truly __38__.” Perhaps talking with parents and giving explanations would help soften the __39__ if you do choose not to__40__ them to your friends list.

第三部分阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

A
Eating is best when it's a social activity. Think of the meal a family enjoys in the evening when everyone's together after work or school, or the big get-togethers over food at Spring Festival. But now, in the age of the Internet and social media, anyone with an Internet connection can enjoy a social eating event.
Mukbang---a South Korean phrase meaning “eating broadcast”---is an unusual food fanaticism that's sweeping the country. This is a meal where only one person gets to eat, while many viewers watch live shows of hosts eating large quantities of food. They leave comments on the dishes the host is taking, and the host responds to them live.
So why have people taken to this unusual new food trend? Jeff Yang, an Asian-American cultural critic, thinks that it's down to “the loneliness of unmarried or uncou pled South Koreans”. He believes that eating on your own can be hard in a country like South Korea, where social eating is such a long tradition. However, Mukbang gives people the feeling that they are part of something larger,
it seems.
Millions of people have trouble with food. Either they eat too much of it, or too little. Some say that the popularity of Mukbang helps people with these disorders. Those who always eat too much and put on weight can watch Mukbang live shows to satisfy their appetite. And those who don't eat enough can build their appetite by watching delicious food being eaten.
Even though Mukbang is a South Korean phenomenon, it's also taken off in the US. But unlike South Koreans who sit down to enjoy noodles and kimchi (泡菜), Americans enjoy their own native dishes. This means that viewers of US Mukbang live shows will see locals stuffing themselves with hamburgers, fries and ice cream.
41. The underlined word “fanaticism” in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to ________.
A. disappointment
B. enthusiasm
C. dislike
D. imagination
42. According to Jeff Yang, Mukbang is becoming popular in South Korea mainly because ________.
A. people are used to eating alone
B. it's good for those who have eating disorders
C. it helps to comfort the lonely people
D. it assists people to build their appetite
43. What is the article mainly about?
A. A traditional Korean eating habit.
B. A new food trend from South Korea.
C. How Koreans communicate through eating.
D. How the Internet affects the way we eat.
B
According to a recent study, a new genetically modified (转基因的) rice can prevent infections of HIV, the virus responsible for the disease AIDS.
The study reports the newly-developed rice produces proteins (蛋白质) that attach directly to the HIV virus. This process prevents the virus from mixing with
human cells. The scientists say it can remove the effect of the virus and block its spreading.
The Joint United Nations Program on HIV/AIDS reports that worldwide, nearly 37 million people were living with HIV in 2017. The organization says the largest number of those are in developing countries. Nearly two-thirds of HIV cases are in Africa. Now there is no cure for HIV/AIDS though there have been developments in oral drug treatments to slow the progression of the disease.
The new study predicts the rice-based method will lead to long-term use of the anti-HIV treatment across the developing world. Researchers said the “groundbreaking” discovery is “realistically the only way” that anti-HIV combination treatments can be produced at a cost low enough for the developing world.
They say the easiest and most cost-effective way to use the rice will be to make it into a cream to be put on the skin. The HIV-fighting proteins can then enter the body through the skin. People all over the world could grow the rice and make the cream themselves. This would prevent the cost and travel required for many patients to receive treatments and medicine.
The process of changing the genetic structure of food crops has been debated for some time. Critics of genetically engineered crops believe they can harm people. The scientific team says further testing is needed to ensure that the genetic engineering process does not produce any additional chemicals that could be dangerous to people.
44. What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 3?
A. Stress the urgency of HIV treatments.
B. Provide some data about HIV.
C. Remind readers of HIV prevention.
D. Introduce HIV to the public.
45. In which way will the rice be used at the lowest cost?
A. By transforming it into proteins.
B. By adding it to an oral drug.
C. By attaching it to the HIV virus.
D. By processing it into
a cream.
46. What can we infer about the genetic engineering process?
A. It can prevent infections of HIV.
B. It can produce dangerous chemicals.
C. It still requires perfecting.
D. It applies to the developed world.
47. From which is the text probably taken?
A. A biology textbook.
B. A health magazine.
C. A social webpage.
D. A first aid brochure.
C
Did you hear what happened at yesterday’s meeting? Can you believe it? If you find those sorts of quietly whispered questions about your co-workers irresistible, you’re hardly alone. But why are we drawn to gossip(流言蜚语)?
A new study suggests it’s because the rumors are all about us. “Gossip receivers tend to use positive and negative group information to improve, promote, and protect the self,” writes a research team, led by Elena Martinescu of the University of Groningen in the Netherlands. In the journal Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, the researchers described two experiments testing the personal value gossip receivers get.
The first featured 178 university undergraduates, who had all previously worked on at least one course assignment with a group of four or more students. Participants were asked to recall and write a short description of an incident, in which a group member shared with them either positive or negative information about another group member’s secret. They then reported their level of agreement with a series of statements. Some of these measured the self-improvement value of the gossip(“The information received made me think I can learn a lot from X”); others measured its self-promotion value(“The information I received made me feel that I am doing well compared to X”). Still others measured whether the gossip raised personal concerns(“The information I received made me feel that I must protect my image in the group”).
In the second experiment, 122 undergraduates were assigned the role of “sales agent” at a major company. They received gossip from a colleague that a third person either did very well or very badly at a performance evaluation, and were then asked about the emotions that information caused. They also responded to the above-mentioned set of statements presented to the participants in the first experiment.
In each experiment, participants found both negative and positive gossip to be of personal value with different reasons. “Positive gossip has self-improvement value,” they write. “Competence-related positive gossip about others contains lessons about how to improve one’s own competence. On the other hand, negative gossip has self-promotion value, because it provides individuals with social comparison information that justifies self-promoting judgments which results in feelings of pride.”
In addition, the results “showed that negative gossip brought about self-protection concerns,” the researchers write. “Negative gossip makes people concerned that their reputations may be at risk, as they may personally become targets of negative gossip in the future, which generates fear.” Fear is hardly a pleasant sensation(感觉), but it can be a motivating one. As researchers put it: “Gossip conveniently provides individuals with indirect social-comparison information about relevant o thers.”
48 Why are we drawn to gossip according to the researchers?
A. We need evaluative information about others to evaluate ourselves.
B. We are interested in the news that arouses our personal concerns.
C. We tend to gain a sense of pride from judging others.
D. We are likely to learn lessons from others’ mistakes.
49. According to the first experiment, which of the following shows self-promotion value?
A. I’ve done better than Mary according to what Tom said about her.
B. I should behave myself in case of being gossiped about like Mary.
C. I have to learn from Mary according to what Tom said about her.
D. I have no comments on what Tom said about Mary.
50. What’s the critical difference of the second experiment compared with the first one?
A. The identities of the participants.
B. The number of the participants studied.
C. The time during which the experiment lasted.
D. The role-play technique used in the experiment.
51. What role does “negative gossip” play according to the researchers?
A. A fear killer.
B. A motivator.
C. A protector.
D. A subject provider.
D
Glancing at the large room through her blue eyes, four-year-old Nicole in her oversize short skirt began to cry. “It’s okay, honey,” I tried to encourage. “Come play with the other children.” But the more I persuaded, the more the water flowed.
Every week for the past eighteen years, I’ve spent Tuesdays with a dozen kids dressed in satin ribbons, feathers, butterfly wings and plastic jewelry. These afternoons are free flowing and non-threatening but for some strange reason, Nicole saw this as the final kiss of death.
In her mind, she was going to be left all alone with a strange woman and several other children. Uncontrollable tears rapidly started to flow and there wouldn’t be enough tissues in the whole building to mop up the flood.
Tip toeing quickly to the door, I gently called to her father. “Just sit in here for a while until she warms up,” I said. Standing next to his first born, Rich took his daughter's hand and led her to the centre of the room. Slowly he pushed, but again the damn broke. “Daddy, don’t leave me!” Nicole cried. “Don't make me do this.” Bending down on his knees until they were nose-to-nose, Rich gently whispered in her ear, “I’ll do it with you. There’s nothing to be afraid of.” Holding her entire young hand around his middle two fingers, the pair went on to skip around the floor.
“Wow!” I cheered. “You deserve a prize. I’ve never seen a dad do that before.”
For a brief second Rich paused, and then with a smile, he replied, “Isn’t this part of the job?”
That wonderful moment was two years ago and I've thought of it often, especially when I see how well Nicole performs in class. More importantly, however, I’ve remembered it because it takes me back to my own dance beginnings with my father.
From the moment I was born, music spoke to me. The moment the radio or record player was turned on, I flay my arms and legs about the room in wild fashion. Most of the time, I was fine to perform alone, but the minute my dad walked into the room, I’d jump into his arms, hug him tight and place my tiny feet on top of his highly shined shoes.
While this memory is sweet, the real reason I hold it dear to my heart is because of what went behind his action. My father was not the most gifted creature on two legs when it came to dancing, but he’d stepped out of his comfort zone（区域）and danced because he knew how much I loved it. For him, helping his only daughter develop, despite how uncomfortable it made him feel, was part of his job.
As a child, my father did what he was told and lived as expected. But when it came to his own children, he allowed us the chance to follow our own path and we were never forced to be like him, live like him or think like him. He provided an environment where my three brothers and I were permitted to explore our own jungle until we found the life that was right for us.
To all you fathers who’ve influenced your children's lives by stepping out of your comfort zones to dance, whether it is in mind, body or soul-this one’s for you! You give a child the courage to stand on the center stage of life.
52. Why was Nicole so sad at her first dancing class?
A. She was asked to mop up the floor.
B. She had to be left with the strangers.
C. She didn't like the dancing dresses.
D. She was threatened by the older boys.
53. What does the father mean by saying “Isn’t this part of the job?” in Paragraph 6?
A. Dancing with their daughter is a father’s part-time job.
B. It’s a father’s job to force her daughter to lea rn dancing.
C. Fathers are always there to help their daughter if necessary.
D. Fathers are required to accompany their daughter in dancing classes.
54. What do we know about the author’s father?
A. He was fond of dancing.
B. He liked to make choices for his children.
C. He required his children to follow his path.
D. He tried to live up to his parents’ expectations.
55. What is the best title for this passage?
A. Dance with my father
B. Stay in your comfort zone
C. Follow your own path
D. Find a dancing partner 第四部分：七选五（共5小题；每小题2 分，共10分）

第八部分书面表达 (满分25分)
A researcher at the Institute of Atmospheric Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences says that cooking emissions（排放物） is a main pollutant in the atmospheric pollution. According to the researcher, cooking emission occupies 15% to 20% in the whole PM2.5 pollution sources in the urban area in Beijing during the summer time.
Authorities in Kunming, Yunnan province, have banned restaurants from using firewood to cook a popular chicken dish in order to reduce the air pollution. The Environmental Protection Bureau of Kunming has stopped approving new restaurants
that serve Chaihuoji, or firewood chicken, and asked the existing ones to replace firewood with clean fuel. Dozens of firewood chicken restaurants that opened in the past six months will need to switch to the environment-friendly fuel.
The city follows the example of Chongqing in its attempt to control smog by asking restaurants to change the way they cook some of the traditional dishes, though it remains to be seen whether the move can reduce the air pollution level. Earlier this year, Chongqing said no to smoked bacon, open-air barbecue and chicken cooked by burning firewood.

【答案】
According to a research, cooking emissions pollute the air. To reduce the air pollution, the city of Kunming, following the example of Chongqing, required restaurants to use clean fuel to replace firewood.
I am totally in favour of the measures taken by the Kunming government. Although we may lose a traditional way of cooking, we’ll get cleaner air. Anyw ay, a blue sky is far more important than a delicious dish/cuisine.
Just like many places in China, there also exist the phenomena of air pollution in the place where I live. In the neighborhood, rubbish is burned directly before being classified and processed, which pollutes the air severely. On the roads, cars。
