1．任务型阅读How to Overcome Depression
Suffering from depression means more than just dealing with a bad week or even a bad month. Depression is a weakening condition that can make it impossible for you to enjoy your daily existence. To overcome your depression, you have to first determine if what you're feeling are the symptoms of depression.________While medications can help relieve symptoms, it is still important for depressed persons to understand the disorder and develop healthier strategies for coping with it.
Keep yourself busy. Fill your schedule with events and activities you love. Keeping a busy schedule will force you to stay active, focused, and thinking about the next thing on your plate. You can draw up a schedule for each day at the start of the week, or simply plan out each day the night before.________
Improve your diet________Even if you're losing your appetite, you need to be determined to eat three meals a day. You don't need to try to lose weight or be incredibly healthy-conscious when you're dealing with your depression, but eating healthier food regularly will improve your mental and physical state.
Think positively. Being a more positive thinker will help you look at your life and world in a way that fills you with hope instead of despair. To think more positively, you should learn how to recognize your negative thoughts and to fight them with stronger positive thoughts whenever you can. For a jump start, find at least five things to be grateful for________
________ Neglecting personal hygiene (卫生) is a common side effect of depression. While you will not beat your depression by transforming your looks, if you take time to maintain your appearance and hygiene every day, you will feel better about yourself. Shower daily, brush your teeth and wash your hair.
A. Control your emotions.
B. Improve your appearance.
C Most importantly be happy about every single day.
D. Whichever method you choose, make a goal of sticking to it.
E. However, not everyone knows depression has a positive side.
F. Eating a healthy, balanced diet can also help you beat depression.
G. If you are feeling sad, lonely, or worthless, you may be suffering from depression.
【答案】G；D；F；C；B
【解析】【分析】这是一篇说明文。

文章针对如何克服抑郁提出了一些建议。

（1）根据前一句“To overcome your depression, you have to first determine if what you're feeling are the symptoms of depression.”可知，要克服抑郁症，首先你必须确定目前的情绪是抑郁的症状。

按照文意，接下来应该是讲哪种情绪是抑郁的症状。

选项G“如果你感到悲伤、孤独或毫无价值，你可能会患上抑郁症”是最切题的。

所以答案选G。

（2）第二段主要讲了你要通过忙碌的日程转移自己的注意力，在最后提出两个做计划的方
法：可以在一周开始的时候制定一个时间表，或者在前一天晚上计划好每一天。

根据上下文逻辑关系，接下来只有选项D“无论你选择哪种方法，都要有坚持的目标”顺承句意。

所以答案选D。

（3）由第三段第一句也即主旨句“Improve your diet”可知，这一段主要讲如何改善饮食。

只有选项F“吃健康、均衡的饮食也能帮助你战胜抑郁”切题。

所以答案选F。

（4）根据前一句“For a jump start, find at least five things to be grateful for”可知，首先，你要找到至少5件事值得感激。

选项A控制自己的情绪，选项B改善你的外表和选项E并不是每个人都知道抑郁有积极的一面，都不顺承句意。

只有选项C“最重要的是每天都要快乐”最切题。

所以答案选C。

（5）根据“While you will not beat your depression by transforming your looks, if you take time to maintain your appearanc e and hygiene every day, you will feel better about yourself”可知，虽然你不会通过改变容貌来战胜抑郁，但如果你每天都花时间保持自己的外表和卫生，你就会感觉良好。

所以这一段是关于改善外表的。

只有选项B切题。

所以答案选B。

2．Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below. Each sentence be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.
Today, in most of the theatres in Britain, the stages are situated behind a sort of arch (拱门), called the proscenium (幕布前的舞台部分)arch. The arch runs across the building with the stage on one side of it and the auditorium, housing the audience, on the other. The audience is kept to the area from which it can get a clear view of the stage. This type of theatre has been is use for three hundred years. ________ The actor can ignore them until the end, when they applaud the performance. If an actor wants to speak to the audience he tends to step out of the picture, as it were—down to the edge of the stage.
________ Stage furniture or properties—"props", as they are referred to in the business – are now as few as possible. Elaborate scenery is used only when it is going to last throughout the play, or when it is so constructed that it can be changed quickly. Modern theatres are built with the stage extending far in front of the proscenium arch, if indeed they have a proscenium arch at all, electricity, already long in use, has recently had a revolutionary effect. A change of lighting is as good as a change of scenery, and simpler and quicker; it can light one part of the stage in place of another. Footlights have been found unnecessary. Curtains also are hardly necessary, since the stage can be darkened to signify the end of a scene.
The modern idea of having the stage in front of the proscenium arch is not really modern, of course. It makes our stages much like Shakespeare's. ________ The famous speeches of Hamlet, for instance, can be delivered more quietly and naturally than they were in the las century. The actors no longer have to worry much about not being heard, or about turning their backs to the auditorium. They can get closer to the audience, while a larger audience can see them at work.
Moreover, nowadays, people are finding that modern theatres are built to sit in comfortably for two or three hours at a stretch. ________ The result of these improvements is that, in spite of the high price of seats, perhaps more people than ever before are keen on theatre-going.
A. Over the last few decades, since the Second World War, theatrical customs have altered.
B. It makes people feel, as they watch a play or a show, that they are seeing a living and moving picture.
C. All these innovations have quickened up the pace of the drama.
D. This is an advantage both for actors and audience.
E. Today the theatres are much more comfortable because of the many improvements.
F. Often they can meet and eat in the restaurants attached to the theatres.
【答案】 B；D；A；E
【解析】【分析】本文介绍了英国戏剧的发展以及剧院的布局特点。

（1）根据本空前的“The arch runs across the building with the stage on one side of it and the auditorium, housing the audience, on the other. The audience is kept to the area from which it can get a clear view of the stage”可知，拱门穿过整个建筑，一边是舞台，另一边是容纳观众的礼堂，观众被限制在能清楚地看到舞台的地方，此处是说这样布局的原因，B项（它让人们觉得，当他们看一出戏剧或表演时，他们看到的是一幅活生生的动态画面）符合语境，故答案为B。

（2）此处为本段主题句，根据本段内容可知，本段从演员和观众两个角度说明了这样布局的好处，D项（这对演员和观众来说都是一个好处）符合语境。

故答案为D。

（3）根据本空后的“The famous speeches of Hamlet, for instance, can be delivered more quietly and naturally than they were in the last century.”可知，例如，哈姆雷特的著名演讲可以比上个世纪更安静、更自然地进行，这说明戏剧习俗发生了变化，A项（在过去的几十年里，自第二次世界大战以来，戏剧习俗已经发生了变化）符合语境。

故答案为A。

（4）根据本空后的“The result of these improvements is that, in spite of the high price of seats, perhaps more people than ever before are keen on theatre-going.”可知，这些改进的结果是，尽管票价很高，但可能比以往任何时候都有更多的人热衷于看戏，E项（由于许多改进，现在的剧院舒服多了）符合语境。

故答案为E。

4．Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.
"My work is done." Those words were some of the last penned by George Eastman. He included them in his suicide note. They mark an ignoble end to a noble life, the leave taking of a truly great man. The same words could now be said for the company he left behind. Actually, the Eastman Kodak Company is through. It has been mismanaged financially, technologically and competitively. ________ One of America's bedrock brands is about to disappear, the Kodak moment has passed. But George Eastman is not how he died, and the Eastman Kodak Company is not how it is being killed. Though the ends are needless and premature, they must not be allowed to overshadow the greatness that came before. Few companies have done so much good for so many people, or defined and lifted so profoundly the spirit of a nation and perhaps the world. ________
Kodak served mankind through entertainment, science, national defense and the stockpiling of family memories. Kodak took us to the top of Mount Suribachi and to the Sea of Tranquility. It introduced us to the merry old Land of Oz and to stars from Charlie Chaplin to John Wayne, and Elizabeth Taylor to Tom Hanks. ________ When that sailor kissed the nurse, and when the spy planes saw missiles in Cuba, Kodak was the eyes of a nation. From the deck of the Missouri to the grandeur of Monument Valley, Kodak took us there. Virtually every significant image of the 20th Century is a gift to generation from the Eastman Kodak Company.________ Yes, there were photographers, and for relatively large sums of money they would take unnatural pictures in studios and formal settings. But most people couldn't afford photographs, and so all they had to remember distant loved ones, or earlier times of their lives, was memory. Children could not know what their parents had looked like as young people, grandparents far away might never learn what their grandchildren looked like. Eastman Kodak allowed memory to move from the uncertainty of recollection, to the permanence of a photograph. But it wasn't just people whose features were savable; it was events, the precious times that families cherish. The Kodak moment, was humanity's moment.

根据空后“One of America's bedrock brands is about to disappear, the Kodak moment has passed. ”美国最重要的品牌之一即将消失，柯达时代已经过去。

最终导致品牌的倒闭。

故选D。

（2）考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。

根据空前“Few companies have done so much good for so many people, or defined and lifted so profoundly the spirit of a nation and perhaps the world. ”很少有公司为这么多人做了这么多好事，或如此深刻地定义和提升了一个国家乃至整个世界的精神。

此处公司的指的是柯达公司，下文进一步强调柯达的作用：不认识Eastman Kodak 公司的作用，就不可能理解20世纪。

故选F。

（3）考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。

根据空前“It intr oduced us to the merry old Land of Oz and to stars from Charlie Chaplin to John Wayne, and Elizabeth Taylor to Tom Hanks.” 它向我们介绍了快乐的奥兹故土，从查理·卓别林到约翰·韦恩，从伊丽莎白·泰勒到汤姆·汉克斯。

cultural concept of Confucianism and Taoism. It must reflect the specific views of man and nature, man and objects as well as man and social relations.

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.

8．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最恰当的单词，每空一词。

Ready for final year
Even though they're anxiously awaiting their gaokao, Senior 3 students feel relieved after
having survived their busiest year of high school.
Your milestone year begins in just two months, so how can you make the most of it? Here, three graduates offer some practical advice to help you navigate (航行) your final year in the right way.
Sun Hairuo, High School Affiliated to Renmin University of China, Beijing:
Think ahead about your major. Even though some universities allow students to switch to a new major after enrollment, it still involves a lot of effort to do. So while you're preparing for the gaokao, start to consider what field you want to major in at the same time.
When I was aware of my interest in social science, I began to collect information on the internet about what courses I'd like to take in university and what life would be like on campus if I chose this direction. Don't judge a major before you know everything about it, since your entire future depends on it.
Qian Wenjing, Hangzhou Foreign Language School, Zhejiang:
Enjoy a hobby alongside your studies. It's important to get high marks in all subjects, but if you have nothing that can distract you from the piles of homework, you'll have no motivation.
For example, I run a WeChat public account, which you can find by searching for “大嘴小个儿” on WeChat. On it, I share my reflections on life, recommend good books and introduce learning methods to others. I also make videos on how to write an interesting daily journal for the video platform .
So, keep on top of your schoolwork, but make sure you find time to let your hair down sometimes too.
Wang Zixin, Beijing No 4 High School, Beijing:
Create your own system of knowledge using a notebook. In the review stage, find your weak points on every science subject after each exam. Summarize the knowledge behind the errors in your notebook — this will not only identify the problem, but will also save you time when you don't have to spend so long figuring out the answer.
As for liberal arts subjects such as Chinese and English, write down any memorable sentences you come across in your notebook.
And keep it in mind that improvements don't happen right away — it takes time to get better. Ready for final year。
