3．请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。

If there is one word to describe the progress made in the last 100 years, it's connectedness. From the telephone to the radio to the TV to the Internet, we have found ways to bring us all closer together, enabling，constant worldly access.
I don't think I need to highlight the benefits of all this. But the downsides are also beginning to show. Beyond the current talk about privacy and data collection, there is perhaps an even more detrimental side-effect here: We now live in a world where we're connected to everything except ourselves. According to Pascal, we fear the silence of existence, and we dread boredom and instead choose aimless distraction and use the noise of the world to block out the discomfort of dealing with ourselves.
However, we ignore the fact that never facing ourselves is why we feel lonely an anxious in spite of being so intimately connected to everything else around us.
Fortunately, there is a solution. The only way to avoid being ruined by this is to face it. It's to let the boredom take you where it wants so you can deal with whatever it is that is really going on with your sense of self. That's when you'll hear yourself think, and learn to engage the parts of you that are masked by distraction.
The beauty of this is that, once you cross that initial barrier, you realize that being alone isn't so bad. Boredom can provide its own stimulation.
When you surround yourself with moments of solitude and stillness, you become intimately familiar with your environment in a way that forced stimulation doesn't allow. The world becomes richer, the layers start to peel back, and you see things for what they really are, in all their wholeness, in all their contradictions, and in all their unfamiliarity.
You learn that there are things you are capable of paying attention to than just what makes the most noise on the surface. Just because a quiet room doesn't scream with excitement like the idea of immersing yourself in a movie or a TV show doesn't mean there isn't depth to explore there.
Sometimes, the direction that this solitude leads you in can be unpleasant, especially when it comes to introspection (内省)—your thoughts and your feelings, your doubts and your hopes—but in the long term, it's far more pleasant than running away from it all without even realizing what you are.
Being alone and connecting inwardly is a skill nobody ever teaches us. That's ironic because it's more important than most of the ones they do.
Solitude may not be the solution to everything, but it certainly is a start.
blame；solution(s)；Instead/Rather/Actually；comprehensive/thorough/ overall；exploring；loneliness
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文，信息技术的发展让我们可以和除了自己以外的一切事物保持联系，也让我们害怕孤独和无聊。

事实上，独处不仅能让我们克服这种恐惧，也能让我们认清自己和更全面的看清问题。

孤独也许不是解决一切问题的办法，但它确实是一个开始。

（1）考查细节理解。

根据第二段中的”But the downsides are also beginning to show. Beyond the current talk about privacy and data collection, there is perhaps an even more detrimental side-effect here: We now live in a world where we're connected to everything except ourselves.“可知，让人们变得更近的科技最近展示出了缺点，那就是我们生活在一个除了和自己，我们和一切都有联系的世界。

故可推出"科技的发展"和"我们和一切都有联系，除了自己"之间是转折意义。

填Although/Though/While。

（2）考查推理判断。

根据第二段中的”We now live in a world where we're connected to everything except ourselves“可知我们生活在这样的一个世界，除了自己我们和一切都有联系，即我们没能与自己联系，fail to do sth，固定短语，"没能做某事"。

空格处是主句谓语动词，一般现在时，主语是we，故用动词原形，填fail。

（3）考查推理判断。

根据第二段中的”we fear the silence of existence“可知我们害怕独处。

此处考查用a__________ state of existence替换silence of existence，通过分析可知空格处应
填形容词，a silent/quiet state of existence=silence of existence(独处)。

故填silent/quiet。

（4）考查推理判断。

根据第二段中的”we dread boredom and instead choose aimless distraction and use the noise of the world to block out the discomfort of dealing with ourselves.“可知我们害怕无聊，取而代之，我们选择漫无目的的分散注意力，用世界的噪音来阻止我们面对自己时的不舒适感觉。

故第4空处可译为We feel so uncomfortable when dealing with ourselves that we __________ from it all我们在面对自己时感到如此不舒适以至于我们想要躲避/逃离/退缩，此处是句子谓语动词，根据feel判断为一般现在时，主语是we，故用动词原形，填escape/ hide/ shrink/ withdraw。

（5）考查推理判断。

根据第三段中的”However, we ignore the fact that never facing ourselves is why we feel lonely an anxious“可知，我们却忽略了事实，那就是从未面对过自己是我们感到孤独和焦虑的原因。

never facing ourselves is to ________ for our feeling lonely and anxious.从未面对过自己应为我们的孤独感和焦虑感负责。

此处用be to bl ame for”对……负责“符合文意，由to判断此处用动词原形。

故填blame。

（6）考查原词重现。

根据此空后面列举的内容可知，它们都是解决孤独的方法，且原文中”Fortunately, there is a solution.“也有提示，根据the判断此处填名词。

故填solution(s)。

（7）考查推理判断。

根据第五段中的”you realize that being alone isn't so bad. Boredom can provide its own stimulation.“可知你会意识到孤独并没有那么糟糕，无聊会提供它自己的刺激。

Being alone isn't so bad. __________ , you'll be stimulated by boredom.独处并没有那么糟糕，相反/事实上，无聊会刺激你，符合文意，又此处是修饰句子，应用副词，故填Instead/Rather/Actually。

（8）考查推理判断。

根据第六段中的”The world becomes richer, the layers start to peel back, and you see things for what they really are, in all their wholeness, in all their contradictions, and in all their unfamiliarity.“可知独处时世界变得丰富，层次开始剥落，你看到事物的本质，它们的全部，它们的矛盾处，和它们的陌生处，即你对看到的事物有更全透彻的理解。

再结合名词views判断此处应填形容词，故填comprehensive/thorough/ overall。

（9）考查推理判断。

根据第七段中的”Just because a quiet room doesn't scream with excitement like the idea of immersing yourself in a movie or a TV show doesn't mean there isn't depth to explore there.“可知，仅仅因为一个安静的房间不会让你兴奋的尖叫，就像你沉浸在一场精彩的电影或电视节目一样，这并不意味着没有深度去探索，即安静的环境可以让人集中精力去深度探索。

故此处用"探索"符合文意，在结合前面的of判断此处应用动名词形式。

故填exploring。

（10）考查推理判断。

本文主要讲害怕孤独对我们的危害，以及独处和无聊的好处，再结合”Solitude is the first step you should take to save yourself from being ruined by ________ and anxiety.“可知独处是你避免被孤独和焦虑毁掉所采取的第一步，可以总结本文，又根据and anxiety可知空格处应填名词。

故填loneliness。

【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解，推理判断和原词重现三个题型的考查，是一篇生活类阅读，要求考生在捕捉细节信息的基础上，进一步根据上下文的逻辑关系，进行分析，推理，从而写出正确答案。

The style of China is the reproduction and variation of cultural genes. It is the inheritance along with innovation.
The style of China is duty-bound to select as always silk, bamboo, wood, stone clay, glass and porcelain. Meanwhile, the materials in modern industrial era like meats, glass and cement should be fully used. Besides, it is necessary to continue the concept of interactive space planning between man and nature and between man and man. It also needs to explore such new spaces as digitization, the Internet, virtual reality and artificial intelligence.
The style of China must show the transformation and promotion from Chinese manufacturing to Chinese creation. It relies on the manufacturing power and the industrial strength. The style of China presents to the world the image of a large industrial producer and a birthplace of global creativity.
The style of China represents not only the reconstruction of objects, but also the renewal of Chinese value system.
The style of China ought to rely on rich historical heritage(遗产), draw on strengths of others and keep up with the times. It should focus on the life of the general public, the world and the future.

注意：每个空格只填1个单词。

Ants: master cooperators
Millions of ants live together in a colony, but they don't compete, get confused, or become disorganized. They behave in an amazing orderly manner at all times. Some scientists refer to ants as 'super-organisms' because they live in such highly organized societies that work together to survive. The way ants live and work together has made them one of the most important creatures on the planet.
Ants, like bees, belong to a class of eusocial insects. Eusocial insects are broken into groups within their community, and each group has a special job to do depending on the needs of the community. There are three basic groups in an ant colony: queens, soldiers, and workers. Queens are the largest ants, and their only job is to reproduce—they lay all of the eggs that will eventually become soldiers and workers. Soldiers are responsible for protecting the colony and finding new places for nests. Worker ants have many jobs within the community, including caring for the eggs and young ants, hunting for food and maintaining the nest.
Some scientists are studying how ants can lead to a better understanding of labor issues, social class, and the use of nature resources in human communities. Ants have had millions of years of practice in working together to survive and grow. For a colony to function successfully, ants have to cooperate, from which people can learn a lot. Researchers hope that gathering information about how ants live together in communities can help people learn to cooperate and
compromise with each other.
However, others argue that there are fundamental differences between ants and humans that mean human societies are unlikely ever to attain ant-like levels of collaboration. For example, ants in a colony don't compete with each other. When they are short of food in the colony, some worker ants automatically become 'feeder' ants and feed others with the food in their stomach, regardless of their usual job. When the food supply is replenished, they become worker ants again.
In addition, ants are able to work together without a leader giving them directions. Despite their names, queen ants are not leaders. Instead, ants find out what they need to do from their sense of smell. Research on harvester ants pass each other, they pick up a chemical smell which tells them what the other ant is doing. The number of ants they pass doing a particular job determines what they need to do. It is a form of communication, but unlike human communication it has no content; it is just based on numbers.
While ants undoubtedly have a great deal to teach us about organization and the structure of networks, those searching for a greater understanding of human behaviour and morals may need to look somewhere.
They live together in colony without competitions, ________ or being disorganized
The way they work together for ________ living in highly organized societies makes them unique on the planet.
Three groups, including queens, soldiers and workers in an ant colony have a special job, ________ the needs of the community ________ of studying ants.
It helps people understand labor issues, social class, and the use of natural resources better Ants are ________ in working together to survive and grow, helping people run the communities smoothly
It helps people learn to cooperate and ________ with each other
Differences between ants and humans
For ________ of food some worker ants automatically become "feeder ants ________ ants, humans have leaders giving people directions

6．任务型阅读
I stood at the edge of the cliff. The wind stung my eyes, cutting into my skin. Dark-feathered birds circled the air, swooping (俯冲) low over the ocean every now and then to catch their dinner. Hundreds of feet below, the deep ocean beat against the rough sandy shore. I took a deep breath, filling my lungs with excitement — and at the same time, fear.
Behind me, I heard the rest of the crew start to mutter. I was here for the shooting of a movie as I was one of the lead actors in the film Dangerous Things, and this scene was right in the middle of the climax (故事的高潮). It was vital that this went right.
The director had talked to me about getting a stunt double (替身演员), but I'd persuaded him that I could handle the dive. I'd taken a diving course a few years ago, and I'd been taking swimming lessons since I was five years old. I had been pretty confident that I could do this — up till now.
Someone called out, “Ceria, you don't have to do this! Are you sure you want to dive?” It was
one of the producers, Callie Evans. I knew I couldn't turn back now. I couldn't bear to see the disappointed look on the director's face when he was told that I couldn't do it.
At that moment, all my fears and worries broke free. The expectation of adventure and victory seemed to move all the hesitation. I swooped downwards. The air on either side of me cut into my extended arms. I knew that this wonderful feeling of flight would only last a few seconds, yet time seemed to slow down so I could hear the thrilled whoops of my crew and a round of applause that seemed to echo in my pounding ears.

7．阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。

At the age of forty-five, my usually well-ordered life became full of changes. After twenty-two years of working in a bank, a plan to use less staff led to the unemployment of over one hundred people. Unluckily, I was one of them.
My once secure future became uncertain. However, I was not a single parent, so the family did not depend only on my income and my husband can support the family. My motto has always been, "Change is good; change is progress", but when it affected my livelihood, I had to change it. "Accept change and make the most of it." From the beginning, I chose to look at this matter not as bad luck, but as a welcome chance. I refused to become sorry; instead, I actively planned to do something new and different.
Having a positive attitude made all the difference in the way I pursued the future. First, I decided to return to college and graduate many years later than I should have. Doing this at my age took more than a little courage. Not being a graduate had never held me back in my career in the bank, but now it's a personal goal I longed to achieve. With a lot of determination, I went to evening classes and became an adult student. In the class, I became more and more confident. During this time, I realized that no matter what life throws in our way, nothing can hinder our personal growth.
The second thing I did to improve my inner self was to reevaluate my past life. It used to be filled with endless, and sometimes meaningless events. But now, my heart and life are completely around people I care for.
The loss of my job led to some positive changes in my life. Revisiting the past made room for the future. I realize that I have accepted the change, and am making the most of it.
（1）What made the author lose her job? (no more than 10 words)
（2）What did the author do after the unemployment? (no more than 15 words)
（3）How do you understand the underlined word in Paragraph 3? (no more than 3 words) （4）How would you describe the author in terms of personalities? (no more than 5 words) （5）What's your attitude towards the "changes" in your life? Please explain. (no more than 20 words)
【答案】（1）The bank's plan to use less staff. Or: Less staff in the bank.
（2）Return to college and reevaluate her past life.Or: Return to college and devote more time。
