Fear of missing out
It's Friday night. While many of your friends may celebrate by going to the movies or checking out a restaurant that's just opened, you've decided to spend this highly cherished night of the week by yourself. The night is yours to enjoy. If you think this sounds relaxing, you're not alone. At least for a little while until you start wondering if you've made the right choice. A doubt begins sinking in as you imagine the fun your friends are having in your absence. Suddenly, the quiet evening you planned for yourself begins to lose its initial appeal, and you find your excitement quickly turns to anxiety.
Fear of missing out, or FOMO, is a common feeling. A rece nt study defined FOMO as “the uneasy and sometimes all-consuming feeling that you're missing out — your peers are doing or in possession of more or something better than you.
Fear of missing out often develops as a result of deeper unhappiness. Research has found that those with low levels of general life satisfaction are more likely to experience FOMO. Further worsening the all- too-common feeling is the rise of social media use. Active users of social media have a higher probability of comparing their achievements with others'. Rather than finding happiness through their own experiences, they begin worrying that theirs aren't objectively better than anyone else's.
The consequences of FOMO are significant and far-reaching. One study conducted with first-year university students found that fear of missing out was associated with fatigue(疲劳), stress, and sleep problems. Furthermore, in a 2018 study of 1,045 Americans aged 18-34, nearly 40% of participants admitted going into debt just to keep up with their friends' lifestyles, often through increased spending on food, travel, clothes, and electronics.
So how can you overcome the fear? Begin with gratitude. By reflecting on what you already have, you're less likely to put valuable mental energy in worrying about what you don't. Another alternative?
Embrace(欣然接受) JOMO, or the joy of missing out. JOMO allows you to shift your focus to what you really want at any given moment, without feeling concerned about what those around you may be doing. So, turn off your phones and tablets, and engage in something you enjoy while resisting the urge to upload and share it. While this may take practice and perseverance(坚持不懈), the results are well worth the effort.
By embracing the joy of missing out, you make room for all the benefits that come from spending time with yourself and the inner wholeness you contain; you create space to keep up with the things you wish you had more time for — gardening, reading, resting, exercising, cooking, learning, or simply being; and you see yourself in new ways and unearth the talents, fears, joys and quirks that lie beneath the surface.
borrow；grateful/thankful；focusing；know/understand

2．阅读理解
When was the last time you sat on a park bench(凳子)? Did you stay for long? A new kind of park benches will limit the amount of time you can sit there. If you don't get up in time, it could be very painful: there are many sharp spikes (钉子) on the part that you sit on!
Visitors who want a rest on the bench need to put a coin in a machine next to it. Once the money was accepted, the spikes disappear into the bench. Then visitors can sit down comfortably, but only for half an hour. When the time's up, the spikes slowly start moving up again. It doesn't hurt at first, but after a minute, they start coming up even more quickly. They aren't long enough to cause serious hurt, but they do cause pain, as tests have shown. But why have they been installed (安装)?
"Our public park is very popular in summer," a spokesperson for the park explained. "But with all the thousands of people who visit the park, there aren't enough benches for everyone. We want to make sure that the benches are shared by more visitors, and to stop people taking a bench and staying there all day. Installing spikes seems to be the fairest way of stopping people doing this."
（1）How is the new kind of park bench different from other benches?
（2）What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?
（3）Why are the new benches installed?
（4）The passage says, "Installing spikes seems to be the fairest way of stopping people doing this." Do you agree with this? Please state your reasons.
【答案】（1）It can limit the amount of time people sit on it (with sharp spikes). / If you don't get up from it in limited time, it could make you painful./ There are many sharp spikes on it to limit the amount of time people sit on it.
（2）It's mainly about how the new kind of benches work.
（3）They're installed to solve the problem that some people take a bench too long and others can't share it.
（4）Yes. If people are asked to pay for benches, they will not take it too long when they don't really need it. Thus, every visitor will have the chance to share it. / No. Benches in parks should be free to visitors. The park can build more benches to solve its problem instead of limiting the time when visitors have a rest on benches.
【解析】【分析】这是一篇说明文，介绍了一种新型公园长椅，其不同之处在于它上面有很多尖刺，用来限制人们坐在上面的时间。

3．阅读下面材料，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。

The autumn wind woke me up from my dream. I took a deep breath and looked around. Suddenly I saw two people approaching me. As there was no one else in the park, they caught my attention immediately.
The two people were getting closer and I heard them laughing. At first, this laugh made me annoyed as if they had broken my unity with this park and disturbed my thoughts. But all of a sudden, I noticed the age of them — they were old. I could not clearly identify their age, but the woman looked as old as my grandmother. She had grey hair, blue eyes, and a smile on her face. And all the time she was looking at HIM...
"Jim, I think we should change the park. It's the same every Saturday. You know..." "Sus! Hug me."— that was all he said. He looked at her, smiled and gave her a hug.
At this very moment, I saw an old but strong man who knew his wife, and no matter how often she could be complaining, he loved her! I imagined the many things they might go through together — so many hardships that might make them cry, all the problems that they might be experiencing right now and the probability that one of them would outlive the other. And the one that outlives will think the life they spent together was the most beautiful period of their life.
They left, and I was sitting on my bench, shocked, and I had a special feeling in my heart. This feeling was hope! The old couple with all the complaints and tons of mistakes behind their backs made me realize that it was happiness that mattered in life. Eventually, all people would get old and die, and what made a difference was the person you had dedicated your life to. I made a wish — waking up one day, being old and feeling proud of being together with the person I loved to overcome all the obstacles ( 障碍) and fight for happiness.

（3）What was the author doing at that moment in Paragraph 4? (no more than 20 words) （4）What does the underlined word "dedicated" mean in the last paragraph? (1 word)
（5）How do you like the old couple? What can you learn from the passage? Please express it in your own words. (no more than 20 words)
【答案】（1）Because it had broken his unity with the park and disturbed his thoughts.
（2）Because they loved each other deeply.
（3）The author was wondering what made the old couple love each other so much/The author was imagining what the old couple might have gone through in life and made them love each other deeply.
（4）Devoted/ Give entirely.
（5）I think they are admirable/ encouraging/ a good example for us!We should cherish people who love us and fight for happiness with them together.

4．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。

Is Cash Becoming Outdated?
When he rolls into a gas station to fill his tank, Barkhad Dahir doesn't get out of his car. He pushes a few buttons on his cellphone and within seconds he has paid for the fuel. With the same quick pushes on his phone, he pays for virtually everything he needs: groceries at the supermarket, a few oranges from a market stall, or a cup of sweet milky tea from a café. Mr. Dahir boasts, "Even lying in bed, you can be paying your bills."
Electronic payments offer consumers convenience, provide revenue for banks, credit card companies and payment processors, and offer merchants improved cash flow and convenience. "I don't even carry money any more," says Adan Abokor, a democracy activist. "I haven't seen cash for a long time. Almost every merchant, even hawker (小贩) on the street, accepts payment by cellphone. There's no waiting for it and no counting of cash."
The system is impressively simple and secure. Purchases are made by dialing a three-digit
number, entering a four-digit PIN, and then entering the retailer's payment number and the amount of money. Both customers and merchants receive text messages to confirm the payment. Clearing up cash payments has several advantages as well. The printing and handling of money is expensive. Cash payments can be anonymous and hard to track criminal activities to be conducted in secret. Many governments favor reducing cash dealings in order to better monitor and understand the activities of their citizens. The Swedish government has been discussing the removing of cash since 2010.
However, some people doubt what members of a cashless society do when the power goes off. Do they choose to barter (物物交换) and rob? Do they sit at home and wait? What happens to people who rely on their cellphones to process money dealings when cell service and the Internet are interrupted? A world affected by terrorism and increasingly violent weather may not yet be ready to abandon currency. "Ironically, the day after the largest bank in Norway, DNB, proposed ending all cash dealings, I went to my local grocery store and when I tried to pay by phone, I was told that I needed to go to the ATM to get cash because the system was broken." said an interviewee.
Other people fear that electronic payments may create security and fraud risks and enable dealings to be tracked and reported. Privacy, security and convenience are all important factors in the adoption of electronic payment technology. New technologies which balance and address these factors may enable people to remove cash.
convenient/easy；failure/cut；privacy；use/effect/adoption；disappear/vanish

“我很长时间没看到现金了。

几乎每一个商人，甚至街头小贩，都接受手机支付。

购物是通过拨打一个三位数的号码，输入一个四位数的个人识别码，然后输入零售商的付款号码和金额。

客户和商家都会收到确认付款的短信。

可知电子支付非常安全，因为客户和商家都会收到确认付款的短信。

故填safe/secure。

（5）考查信息归纳。

根据第四段中的”The printing and handling of money is expensive.“印刷和处理货币是昂贵的。

可知电子支付减少印刷和处理金钱的费用。

故填cost/expense。

（6）考查信息归纳。

根据第四段中的”Many governments favor reducing cash dealings in order to better monit or and understand the activities of their citizens.“许多政府赞成减少现金交易，以便更好地监测和了解其公民的活动。

）可知当使用电子支付时，可能会出现安全和欺诈风险。

故填use/effect/adoption。

（10）考查信息理解。

5．请认真阅读下面短文，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 you said you were suffering from "burnout" in the early 1970s, you might have raised some eyebrows.
At the time, the term was informally to describe the side effects that heavy drug users experienced.
However, in 1974, a German-American psychologist Herbert Freudenberger found the volunteers at his clinic were struggling, too: their work was tough, and many were lacking in motivation. Freudenberger defined this condition as a state of extreme tiredness caused by constant overwork－and borrowed the term "burnout" to describe it.
Late last month, the World Health Organization (WHO) announced that the problem will be recognized as a syndrome (综合征) "resulting from workplace stress that has not been successfully managed."
Feeling the burn so how can you tell if you're almost burned out?
"A lot of the signs and symptoms of pre-burnout would be very similar to depression," says Siobhan Murray, a psychotherapist. She suggests looking out for bad habits, such as increased alcohol consumption and relying on sugar to get you through the day. Also watch out for feelings of tiredness that won't go away or not having the energy to exercise or go for a walk. As soon as you begin to feel this way, Murray advises going to see your doctor. "Depression and pre-burnout are very similar. But it is still classified as an occupational phenomenon which is still best tackled by making lifestyle changes."
And how do you know if you're really on the edge of burnout? "Stress is really important, and anxiety is what motivates us to do well," says Murray. "It's when we're continually exposed to stress and anxiety that it starts to turn into burnout."
You're pre-burnout: What's next?
"Sometimes they feel the need to be too perfect so they're having to work very hard to cover up that they're not quite as good as everyone thinks." Another therapist Walker says.
However, sometimes the work environment is the problem. According to a 2018 study of 7,500 US workers, burnout comes from unfair treatment at work, an unmanageable workload and not knowing what a person's role should involve. Workers were also stressed out by a lack of support from their manager and punreasonable time pressure.
Whatever the cause of your burnout, Murray's top tip is to be kind to yourself.
In Murray's experience, a key driver of burnout is today's culture of wanting it all. Often it's just not possible to have a healthy social life and complete a big project at the same time. She says it's vital to prioritize and not expect too much of yourself; when others seem like the perfect boss, parent and friend all at the same time, they're probably misleading us.
If you feel that you might be close to joining the burnout club, take a step back, figure out what's going wrong－and let yourself off the hook.
lack/overuse；imperfect；provide/offer /afford；avoiding；kind
【解析】【分析】本文主要介绍了"精力耗尽"这个词的定义和相应症状，造成这种症状的原因以及提出避免的方法。

（1）由文章前三段以及所填空表格右边的内容可知，讲的是burnout在不同时期的不同解释，故填Changes或Differences。

（2）原文第一段指出，在70年代burnout指的是重度吸毒者遭受的副作用，因此heavy drug users这里转换为drugabuse/addiction。

故填abuse/addiction。

（3）原文第三段a state of extreme tiredness caused by constant overwork可知，是指人们因为不断超负荷工作而劳累，而本题所填空在volunteers前，应该是形容词，因此讲tiredness转换为tired/
exhausted。

故填tired/exhausted。

（4）原文第四段最后一行stress that has not been successfully managed可知，是指没能处理好压力，而本题所填空应该是名词，固定搭配fail to do表示未能做成某事，此处转换为名词failure。

故填failure。

（5）原文第六段第一行be very similar to depression可知，burnout和depression很相似，而所填空应该是名词，固定搭配share si milarities with ……表示和……很类似，故填similarities。

（6）原文第六段第三行需要酒精get you through the day 和not having the energy可知，觉得自己没有精力，或者是精力被过度消耗，所填空为名词，故填lack或overuse。

（7）原文倒数第五段可知，人们被要求很完美，因此努力去做到别人想的那样，即人们不愿意承认自己的不完美，本空应填形容词，故填imperfect。

（8）原文倒数第四段the work environment is the problem和后面具体的unfair treatment at work, an unmanageable workload and not knowing what a person's role should involve可知，公司没能提供有利的工作环境，所填空应该是动词，故填provide/offer /afford。

（9）由文章最后两段内容可知，要接纳自己，不要给自己过多的压力过多的期待，是在介绍避免burnout的方法，且固定搭配approach to doing，故填avoiding。

（10）原文倒数第三段Murray建议要be kind to yourself，故填kind。

【点评】考查任务型阅读。

要结合原文，分析原文中心和段落结构，利用原词复现、上下文关联和概括总结解题。

6．阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。

Why not carry on her good work？
I enjoyed English, biology, and chemistry at school, but which one should I choose to study at university？I did not know the answer until one evening when I sat down at the computer to do some research on great women of China.
By chance I came across an article about a doctor called Lin Qiaozhi, a specialist in women's diseases. She lived from 1901 to 1983. It seemed that she had been very busy in her chosen career, traveling abroad to study as well as writing books and articles. One of them caught my eye. It was a small book explaining how to cut the death rate from having and caring for babies. She gave some simple rules to follow for keeping babies clean, healthy and free from sicknees. Why did she write that？Who were the women that Lin Qiaozhi thought needed this advice？I looked carefully at the text and realized that it was intended for women in the countryside. Perhaps if they had an emergency they could not reach a doctor.
Suddenly it hit me how difficult it was for a woman to get medical training at that time. That was a generation when girls' education was always placed second to boys. Was she so much cleverer than anyone else? Further reading made me realize that it was hard work and determination as well as her gentle nature that got her into medical school. What made her succeed later on was the kindness and consideration she showed to all her patients. There was story after story of how Lin Qiaozhi, tired after a day's work, went late at night to deliver a baby for a poor family who could not pay her.
By now I could not wait to find out more about her. I discovered that Lin Qiaozhi had devoted her whole life to her patients and had chosen not to have a family of her own. Instead she made sure that about 50,000 babies were safely delivered. By this time I was very excited. Why not study at a medical college like Lin Qiaozhi and carry on her good work？It was still not too late for me to improve my studies, prepare for the university entrance examinations, and ……
（1）When and where did the author read the article about Lin Qiaozhi？（no more than 5 words）
（2）For what purpose did Lin Qiao zhi write a little book about how to look after babies？（no more than 20 words）
（3）What does the underlined sentence in the third paragraph mean？（no more than 10 words）
（4）What does the author think are the most important qualities that a successful doctor should have？（no more than 5 words）
（5）Do you think the author will study at a medical college？Why or why not？（no more than 20 words）
【答案】（1）On the Internet/computer one evening.
（2）To help the women in the countryside who could not reach a doctor if they had an emergency.
（3）Girls' education wasn't attached importance to compared with boys'.
OR: Boys always receive better education than girls.
（4）Kindness and consideration.
（5）Open.
【解析】【分析】短文大意：文章主要讲了正在作者不知道如何选择大学专业时，偶然读到了一篇关于林巧稚的文章。

作者深受感动和影响，决定继续林巧稚医生伟大的事业。

（1）细节理解题。

根据第一段I did not know the answer until one evening when I sat down at the computer to do some research on great women of China. （直到一天晚上，我坐在电脑前研究中国伟大的女性时，我才知道答案。
