W: Why? What’s wrong with it? M: First of all, you spend too much time looking at your phone anyway. You should be out playing with your friends.
W: But my friends are also using Meitu. We send each other pictures all day. M: Whatever happened to playing ball games? Or board games? Or just sitting around talking? I think your generation isn’t as smart as it should be. But there is another reason I don’t wa nt that app on your phone.
W: Really, Dad? Do I have to delete it?
M: It’s a safety reason, dear. You know I work in an Internet security firm. My colleagues are getting more concerned about the apps their children use. They say people use their phones to store too much information. Meitu is the newest one they’re worried about.
W: But everyone else is using it!
M: I’m just worried for my little girl.
W: Sometimes I wish you were a doctor or a banker.
M: Listen, I’ll find another photo-editing app for you to use... one that is more private and secure.

This is Ella Stevens who, at just 13 years old, is fighting for a chance to drive for the most famous team in Formula One-Ferrari(法拉利一级方程式赛车).
This fall Stevens faces a series of challenges, on and off track at the Paul Ricard circuit in France, with the ultimate prize a place on the famous Ferrari Driver Academy as its first female ra cer. “It’s a very good opportunity for me,” Ella, already a British karting champion, tells CNN. “We have to do a few fitness tests in the first phase so that they can see our driving.”
The Academy is, in fact, a breeding ground for future racing stars. Its current crop includes Mick Schumacher, the son of legendary Ferrari driver Michael, Enzo Fittipaldi, whose grandfather Emerson was a double F1 world champion, as well as Arthur Leclerc, the younger brother of Ferrari’s current FI racer Charles.
On the fa ce of it, it’s no place for a 13-year-old girl from a small village in England—who already has a mountain to climb as a female in a sport still dominated by males. After all, a female has not raced in Fl for more than 40 years, and just six women have taken part in a grand prix(大奖赛)weekend.
But Stevens is being supported by a popular figure in the F1 community, Rob Smediey. He worked as a Ferrari engineer for more than a decade and is now teaching Stevens through his own Electroheads Talent Academy.
Smediey describes Ferrari’s search for a potential female racer as a “huge step”. “Having a major player in the sport, with such a rich history as Ferrari, leading on this has to be applauded”, he tells CNN. “It’s absolutely amazing that they want to do this and they’re taking positi ve action to increase the gender diversity within the sport.”
24. What will Ella win after fighting off a series of challenges?
A. She’ll become a karting champion.
B. She’ll have to pass a few fitness tests.
C. She’ll drive for Formula One-Ferrari.
D. She’ll become the first female racing champion.
25. Why is Mick Schumacher mentioned in Paragraph 3?
A. To make people believe he’s a famous racer.
B. To show how he became a F1 world champion.
C. To introduce that he was once a double FI world champion.
D. To prove Ferrari Driver Academy is home to the promising racers.
26. The underlined word “dominated” in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to
A. won
B. placed
C. ruled
D. grasped
27. What’s the best title of the text?
A. Ella Stevens: the first female racer
B. Ella Stevens: a promising racing star
C. Formula One-Ferrari: the world top race
D. Formula One-Ferrari: a race without female
【答案】24. C 25. D 26. C 27. B
【解析】
这是一篇新闻报道。

文章主要介绍了Ella Stevens需要通过一系列的挑战才能成为法拉利车手学院的首位女赛车手，虽然在这个以男性为主导的赛事中，女性少之又少，但是Stevens 得到了F1界一个受欢迎的人物Rob Smediey的支持，他将法拉利寻找潜在女性车手描述为“巨大的一步”。

【24题详解】
细节理解题。

根据文章第二段内容“This fall Stevens faces a series of challenges, on and off track at the Paul Ricard circuit in France, with the ultimate prize a place on the famous Ferrari Driver Academy as its first female racer.(今年秋天，Stevens 在法国保罗里卡德赛道上和赛道外都面临着一系列挑战，最终获奖者将成为著名的法拉利车手学院的首位女赛车手。

)”可知，在获胜之后她将作为法拉利女赛车手，驾驶一辆法拉利赛车。

故选C项。

【25题详解】
推理判断题。

根据文章第三段“The Academy is, in fact, a breeding ground for future
racing stars.”可知，事实上，该学院是未来赛车明星的温床，紧接着提到Mick Schumacher 的显赫背景就是为了证明这一点，故选D项。

【26题详解】
词义猜测题。

根据划线单词后文的进一步解释“After all, a female has not raced in Fl for more than 40 years, and just six women have taken part in a grand prix weekend.”可知，在佛罗里达已经有40多年没有女性参加过比赛了，而且只有6位女性参加过周末的大奖赛，由此推断法拉利赛车是以男性为主导的赛事。

由此可知，划线单词“dominated”应是“主导”含义，与选项C “ruled(统治；控制)”表达含义一致。

故选C项。

【27题详解】
主旨大意题。

根据文章体裁为新闻报道，其特点为首段提出文章话题，即“This is Ella Stevens who, at just 13 years old, is fighting for a chance to drive for the most famous team in Formula One-Ferrari.(这是Ella Stevens，年仅13岁，正在为一级方程式法拉利车队中最著名的车队争取机会。

)”，由此可知，文章主要围绕Ella Stevens想要成为法拉利车手学院的首位女赛车手为主题进行介绍的。

选项B“Ella Stevens: a promising racing star”贴合文章主题。

故选B项。

C
Awe is generally defined as the sense that you are in the presence of something larger and more consequential than yourself. According to a study called “awe walks”, people who took a fresh look at the world around them during brief, weekly walks felt more upbeat and hopeful in general than walkers who did not. Feeling a sense of awe also seems to up our overall feelings of gladness and improve health.
Previous studies have linked increased physical activity to greater happiness and reduced risks for anxiety, depression and other mental illnesses. But no studies had looked into whether mixing awe and activity might increase the benefits of or, on the other hand, reduce them. So, for the new study, scientists concentrated on people in their 60s, 70s and 80s, an age when some people can face risks for declining mental health.
The scientists asked 52 study volunteers to add a weekly 15-minute walk to their normal schedules. All of them were physically healthy and psychologically
well-adjusted, with little anxiety or depression. Then they were randomly divided into two groups. One, as a control group, was asked to start walking, preferably outside, but given few other requirements. The other group was not only asked to walk once a week, but also were instructed in how to cultivate awe as they walked. “Basically, we told them to try to go and walk somewhere new, since novelty helps to cultivate awe,” says Virginia Sturm, an associate professor who led the new study.
Both groups were asked to take a few selfies (自拍) during their walks and upload them to a lab website and also complete a daily online assessment of their current mood. After eight weeks, the scientists compared the groups’ responses and photos. Not surprisingly, the awe walkers felt happier, less upset and more socially connected than the control group members.
The findings are subjective, though, since awe, like other emotions, is difficult to quantify, but Dr. Sturm thinks awe walks could be a simple thing for small wonders without any downside.
28. What makes the new study different from the previous ones?
A. It concentrated on older people.
B. It found the solution to mental health.
C. It associated physical exercise with happiness.
D. It took both activity and awe into consideration.
29. What can we learn from paragraph 3?
A. The volunteers were suffering mental diseases.
B. Only the control group practiced weekly walks.
C. The study volunteers were divided by age.
D. Novelty can produce awe feelings.
30. Why are the findings regarded subjective?
A. The number of volunteers is small.
B. The awe emotion is hard to measure.
C. The daily assessments are difficult to complete.
D. The period of the experiment isn’t long enough.
31. What is the attitude of Dr. Sturm to “awe walks”?
A. Skeptical.
B. Supportive.
C. Indifferent.
D.
Critical.
【答案】28. D 29. D 30. B 31. B
【解析】

Though not as mainstream as devices like smart-phones and fitness trackers, more companies are now experimenting with the concept of connected garments. Among the
pioneers is London-based CuteCircuit,which has been creating fashionable smart
clothing since 2004. The company’s latest innovation is the “Sound Shirt”, which
allows deaf people to “feel” live music by transforming the tunes into touch sensations in real time.
The fashionable shirt achieves the feat, using software that changes the music into data and wirelessly sends it to the 16 micro-actuators(驱动器) fixed inside the clothing’s fabric. The devices vibrate with the intensity of the music being played, allowing the wearer to feel each instrument individually. For example, violins can be felt on the arms, while the deeper, heavier bass notes can be felt close to the stomach. The series of touch-like sensations across the wearer’s body enables them to feel the entire composition, resulting in a fully immersive(沉浸式虚拟现实的) musical experience.
To ensure the shirt is comfortable, the designers chose to leave out wires and instead wove conductive textiles into the garments fabric. Francesca Rosella, chief creative officer of CuteCircuit, explains, “There’re no wires inside, so we’re only using smart fabrics. We have a combination of micro-electronics and very thin, flexible, and conductive fabrics. All these little electronic motors are connected with these conductive fabrics so that the garment is soft and stretchable.”
CuteCircuit, which has been testing the Sound Shirt for three years, expects to make it available to the general public shortly. Priced at S3,673, the smart jacket won’t be cheap. However, twin sisters Hermon and Heroda Berhane, who lost their hearing at a young age, believe the hi-tech garment is a worthwhile investment, especially for deaf pe ople with a passion for dancing. “It’s almost like feeling the depth of the music,” says Hermon. “It just feels as though we can move along with it.”
This is not CuteCircuit’s first groundbreaking smart garment. Over the years, the company has introduced hundreds of amazing comnected outfits. Among them is an interactive concert dress for American musical artist Nicole Scherzinger that displayed tweets from her fans. Also fun is the Hugshirt which enables people to send hugs to loved ones who are not physically in the same area.
32. What is the function of the first paragraph?
A. To give an example.
B. To introduce the topic.
C. To make a comparison.
D. To provide the background.
33. What does the second paragraph focus on?
A. How the Sound Shirt works.
B. How the Sound Shirt is produced.
C. Why the Sound Shirt is accepted.
D. Where people can buy the Sound Shirt.
34. How is the Sound Shirt made comfortable?
A. By reducing its hardness.
B. By using proper materials.
C. By using stretchable wire.
D. By softening its electronics.
35. Why are the twin sisters mentioned in the passage?
A. To stress their love for music.
B. To show the shirt is expensive.
C. To indicate the shirt is comfortable.
D. To predict the bright future of the shirt.
【答案】32. B 33. A 34. B 35. D
【解析】

The devices vibrate with the intensity of the music being played, allowing the wearer to feel each instrument individually. For example, violins can be felt on the arms, while the deeper, heavier bass notes can be felt close to the stomach. The series of touch-like sensations across the wearer’s body enables them to feel the entire composition, resultin g in a fully immersive musical experience.( 这款时尚衬衫做到了这一点，它通过一款软件将音乐转换成数据，并将数据无线发送到衣服面料内的16个微型执行器。

这种装置会随着所播放音乐的强度而震动，这样穿戴者就可以分别感受每一种乐器。

例如，小提琴可以在手臂上感觉到，而腹部附近可以感觉到更深沉、更重的低音。

穿戴者身体上的一系列触摸般的感觉使他们能够感受到整个乐曲，从而产生一种完全身临其境的音乐体验。

Re jection doesn’t have to be about the big stuff like not getting into your top college. Everyday situations can lead to feelings of rejection, too, like if your joke didn’t get a laugh, if no one remembered to save you a seat at the lunch table, or if the person you really like talks to everyone but you. Rejection hurts. But it’s impossible to avoid it altogether. The only thing we should do is to learn to handle it. ___36___. So how can you build that ability?
Be Honest About Your Feelings
If you get reject ed, admit how intense your feelings are. Don’t try to brush off the hurt or pretend it’s not painful. Then, move on to name what you’re feeling. For example: “I feel really disappointed that I didn’t get chosen for the school play. I wanted it so badly and I tried so hard. I feel left out because my friends made it and I didn’t.” ___37___.
Examine Your Thought Soundtrack
When you are rejected, it’s natural to wonder, “Why did this happen?” When you give yourself an explanation, be careful to stick to the facts. Tell yourself: “I got turned down for prom because the person didn’t want to go with me.” Don't tell yourself: “I got turned down because I’m not attractive” or “I’m such a loser.” ___38___. Next time, if put-down thoughts start creeping into your mind, shut them down.
___39___
A rejection is chance to consider if there are things we can work on. It’s OK to think about whether there’s room for improvement or if your goals were higher than your skills. ___40___. But if you approach it right, it could help nudge you in a direction that turns out to be the perfect fit for your talents, personality, and all the really great things that make you who you are.
A. Acknowledging feelings helps you move beyond painful emotions.
B. This kind of thinking crowds out hope and a belief in ourselves.。
