21．（6分）Chinese fashion designer Wang Tao released her fall-winter 2019 collection in New York on February 9, the tenth time her brand, Taoray Wang, has been featured at the New York Fashion Week.
Sitting on the front row of the show were U. S. President Donald Trump’s youngest daughter Tiffany Trump with her mother Marla Maples, as well as former Fox News host Kimberly Guilfoyle.
Tiffany Trump, a fan of Taoray Wang, wore a custom made white double-breasted coat by Wang to her father’s inauguration(就职典礼)ceremony in January 2017.
Wang’s latest collection, Eternit y, is partly inspired by Tiffany Trump. In this collection, Wang combines the unconventional beauty of the 1970s,represented by famous American model Lauren Hutton and the female look favored by people such as Tiffany Trump.
The two women are from in two different age groups with two different styles but both are confident and brave, said Wang while attending her show in Manhattan. “Beauty is not about time or age. It’s all about attitude.’’Along with China’s growing economic strength, Chinese fashion has gradually gained worldwide attention, said Wang, adding that only when more and more foreigners wear clothes designed by Chinese people, will it mean a real rise of Chinese fashion on the global stage.
Wang has a diverse background. With a degree in history from East China Normal University in Shanghai,Wang got a second degree in fashion from Japan’s top fashion institute Tokyo Mode Gakut'n, where she received five international awards in design. She was selected by Junko Koshino—a well-kown Japanese designer, to head the studio as the chief men’s designer.
To realize her global career ambitions, Wang then left Japan to go to the UK where she worked as a leading designer. In 2002 she returned to China and led the repositioning of broadcast :bo, making it one of the top 10 Chinese women’s labels. Wang is currently a board member of the Shanghai Ribo Fashion Group.
1、Who probably gave Wang’s inspiration for her latest collection?
A．Tiffany Trump and Marla Maples. B．Junko Koshirio and Kirnbrly Guilfnyle.
C．Tiffany Trump and Donald Trump. D．Tiffany Trump and Lauren Hutlon.
2、Where did Wang Tao win five international awards in design?
A．In Tokyo. B．In New York. C．In Manhattan. D．In Shanghai.
3、What can be inferred from the text?
A．Both Taoray Wang and bo are well received.
B．Wang Tao worked in UK as a chief men’s designer.
C．It is the Trump who make Wang Tao become famous.
D．Wang Tao studied fashion in East China Normal University.
4、What is the text mainly about?
A．Wang Tao’s diverse education background.
B．A Chine se designer’s way on the global stage.
C．The design style of a Chinese fashion designer.
D．Wang Tao’s fall-winter 2019 collection in New Y ork.
22．（8分）It is quite apparent that competition surrounds every aspect of human life whether in the United States or
the Amazon rainforest. Without it we would not have grown into primates (灵长类动物) . Or we would probably still be struggling to sharpen a bronze tool while crawling around on four legs in search of meat. Without competition, Columbus wouldn’t have discovere d America and Edison would never have invented the light bulb.
Friendship, like all relationships between two people, involves competition. It isn’t competition in a traditional sense because there are no goals to be scored and no prize. Perhaps the ecological definition --- the simultaneous (同时) demand by two or more organisms for limited environmental resources, such as nutrinents, living space, or light --- better explains it.
As in nature, high school life is governed by a set of laws, similar to a shor tened version of Darwin’s theory of evolution, overpopulation, and competition. There is an abundance of high school students and to distinguish them, ranking and categorizing (分类) take place. In high school, friendships learn to coexist with competition even though at times the relationship is rough. In fact, in some circumstance, competition is too much of a burden for a friendship to bear, causing it to fall apart. College admission is the final high school objective. Four years of hard work is to achieve good grades, and a student’s fate is determined not only by these achievements, but by the records of thousands of other seniors trying to achieve a similar recognition.
Nevertheless, by necessity, competition between students exists in all aspects of high school life. It sets and improves the standards in everything from sports to schoolwork. A healthy, friendly competition can have only benefits, but when it becomes too fierce, jealousy (妒忌) can tear friendships apart. Yet, despite all this, without competition, we would be lost.
1、What does the ecological definition mainly explain?
A．How to win the competition. B．What competition exactly is.
C．What the result of competition is. D．How friends compete with each other.
2、According to the writer, what causes the high school students to compete?
A．They know the laws of nature well. B．Friendship is a burden for them.
C．The number of them is too large. D．They are divided into different groups.
3、Which best describes the relationship of friendship and competition?
A．Friendship is always based on competition.
B．Competition is a result of lost friendship.
C．Competition is terribly harmful to friendships.
D．The degree of competition is vital to friendship.
4、What does the author think of “competition”?
A．Competition is certain to happen at school.
B．The result of competition are out of control.
C．Competition becomes fierce in high school.
D．Friendship is not as important as competition at school.
23．（8分）Don’t put it off, do it now!
Why do we spend so much time not doing the work we should do, or putting off small jobs that have piled up to create a big problem? Procrastinating, as putting things off like this is called, is in our character we have naturally since birth; we avoid dull or difficult jobs unti l it’s too late to do anything else.
“We often put things off although we know it will make life more stressful,” says Dr. Steel, an authority on the science of motivation. “If these tasks were fun, we’d just do them now. We put off what is difficult or un pleasant, such as the paperwork that needs doing before leaving the office or cleaning the bits of your home that people can’t see. But the fact is, the less people procrastinate, the more money they have, the better relationships they have, and the healthier they are.” This is obvious when you look at the couples who don’t argue about whether anyone has cleaned the kitchen, and the people who simply go for a run instead of endlessly rescheduling it in their heads.
Of course, there are the rest of us, who f eel the small jobs piling up around us daily. “We’ve evolved to respond to the moment, and not to set our sights too far in an uncertain world,” Dr. Steel adds. “We are not set up to appreciate long-term rewards, whether it’s the benefit of a four-year degree, doing exercise or dieting. We usually feel the cost now and the reward comes much later.” According to Dr. Steel, we have two decision-making systems. They are the limbic, which is responsible for the short term, and the prefrontal cortex, which deals with the future. We bounce between
long-term goals and short-term temptations, so we need goals that will translate our plans for the limbic system.
Let’s take the example of students’ writing essays. They should set themselves targets and word counts per day. These are thus turned from seemingly endless tasks into something concrete with measured progress. Dr. Steel recommends such techniques, or “pre-commitments”, adding that leaving you a month before the “deadline” makes it more likely a task will be c ompleted. The benefit is that you’ll avoid the embarrassment of not following up on something people are expecting you to do—telling everyone you are going to take up jogging makes you more likely to do so.
Overcoming procrastination finally comes down to planning, which, if you’re not careful, becomes procrastination in itself. But it is worth making sure you have everything in place. “Successful people don’t pretend they don’t procrastinate,” Dr. Steel says. “People who pretend they have willpower are less successful.” Instead, plan for procrastination: make your work environment a temple of productivity by cutting out what stops you paying your attention, so you can really focus on moving forward.
1、What does the author say about procrastination in Paragraph 1?
A．It is something many people can’t help.
B．It is an excuse people often use in public.
C．It is caused by the technology in people’s life.
D．It is more common when people have small jobs to do.
2、In paragraph 3, Dr. Steel believes that people who procrastinate should ______.
A．attempt to overcome their natural tendencies
B．take the advice of others in the same situation
C．be aware that their problem is relatively small
D．find out more about the way they make decisions
3、Why does Dr. Steel recommend m aking “pre-commitments” in Paragraph 4?
A．They are an alternative to impossible goals.
B．They make challenges feel more manageable.
C．They are an effective way of impressing others.
D．They allow people to achieve their aims sooner.
4、What does the author do by saying the underlined sentence?
A．Encourage the reader to develop plans effectively.
B．Advise the reader to deal with complex tasks quickly.
C．Warn the reader against spending too long getting organized.
D．Remind the reader to take the time to focus properly on a task.
24．（8分）Can training Y our Working Memory Make You Smarter?
We would all like to increase our cognitive(认知的)ability beyond the limits set by Mother Nature. So it’s no wonder that brain-training programmes—which typically focus on training our working memory—are a multibillion-dollar industry. But can this kind of training really make us smarter?
Cognitive training sees the brain as a kind of muscle that can be made stronger with the right kind of practice. It consists of tasks or games carried out on computers or smart phones. Despite much research, there has so far been no agreement about its effectiveness. Some think that cognitive training increases a broad range of cognitive abilities, while others less optimistic.
Yet we do know that some cognitive skills, such as working memory and intelligence, tend to go together and are predictors of real-life skills such as work performance. Thus, training one cognitive skill might lead to an improvement in many other cognitive and non-cognitive skills. That is exactly the underlying hypothesis(假设)on which
working-memory training is based.
To test this hypothesis, we examined all the studies about working-memory training we could find with normally developing children: 26 experiments and 1,601 total participants. Children represent an ideal test group: during childhood, skills are still at the beginning of their development. Thus, cognitive training is more likely to succeed with children than adults.
The results were very clear. Working-memory traini ng did not show any effect on children’s fluid intelligence, a person’s ability to solve new problems and adapt to new situations. It didn’t influence their academic achievement or other cognitive abilities, either. The only reliable effect was that children got better at what they trained to do. No more, no less. So performing working-memory tasks does seem to make you better at doing them. Nonetheless, the fact that participants got better at such tasks does not necessarily mean that their working-memory ability increased. They may just have learnt how to perform that particular type of task.
The results do indicate that the use of working-memory training programs as an educational tool is fruitless. More generally, together with other research, the results contribute to disproving cognitive training companies promises of a better brain.
The results have even more important implications theoretically. They question the hypothesis that training general cognitive mechanisms can affect other cognitive or real-life skills. Beyond working-memory training, other recent studies have shown the improving cognitive skills outside music-including academic skills.
However, these negative results must not discourage us from training our cognitive and non-cognitive skills. We just have to be aware of the actual limitations of such practice in areas outside what we are actually training. But that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t do it-the most efficient way to develop a skill is, after all, to train that skill.
1、To find out the effect of working memory training, the author ________.
A．made some scientific studies
B．reviewed the previous research
C．compared different test groups
D．got some children involved in the experiment
2、Children joining in the experiments were able to __________.
A．do better in the field where they are trained
B．obtain greater academic achievements
C．adjust to new situations quickly
D．succeed when they deal with real life problems
3、What is the author’s attitude toward the cognitive training?
A．Pessimistic B．Disapproving
C．Objective D．Optimistic
4、Cognitive training is likely to _______ according to the passage.
A．discover the secrets of human minds
B．make one’s brain stronger by way of practice
C．earn a good name for the training company
D．bring much profit to the training companies
（10分）When your child lies to you, it hurts. As parents, it makes us angry and we take it personally. We feel like 25．
we can never trust our child again. Why does lying cause such anger, pain and worry for parents?
Parents are understandably very afraid of their children getting hurt and getting into trouble, but they have very little protection against these things as they send their kids out into the word. Kids learn from other kids and from external media, and this makes parents feel unsafe because they can’t control the information and ideas that their children are exposed to.
When your kid lies, you start to see him as “sneaky（卑鄙的）”, especially if he continues to lie to you. You feel that he’s going behind your back. You begin to think that your kids are “bad”. Because, certainly, if lying is bad, liars are bad. It’s just that simple. Parents need to make their kids responsible for lying. But the mistake parents make is that they start to blame the kid for lying. It’s considered immoral to lie. But when you look at your kid like he’s a sneak, it’s a slippery slope （滑坡谬误）that starts with “Y ou lie” and ends up at “You’re a bad person”.
Kids know lying is forbidden. But they don’t see it as hurtful. So a kid will say, “I know it’s wrong that I eat a sugar snack when I’m not supposed to. But who does it hurt?” “I know it’s wrong that I trade my dried fruit for a Twinkie. But it doesn’t really hurt anybody. I can handle it. What’s the big deal?” That’s what the kid sees.
So I think that parents have to assume that kids are going to tell them lies, because they’re immature and they don’t understand how hurtful these things are. They’re all drawn to excitement, and they’ll all have a tendency to distort(歪曲) the truth because they’re k ids.
1、Why do parents worry about their kids and feel unsafe?
A．Nobody trusts their kids in the world because of lying.
B．Lying always causes their kids to get hurt or get into trouble.
C．Their kids are exposed to outside world without their control.
D．The y can’t protect their kids from other kids and external media.
2、What’s the author’s attitude towards parents’ seeing kids as bad if they lie?
A．Immoral. B．Negative.
C．Supportive. D．Different.
3、The underlined word “they” really refers to ________.
A．parents B．their children
C．other kids D．bad things
4、How do parents react to kids’ lying?
A．Taking no notice of it.
B．Blaming them immediately.
C．Pretending to be angry and educate them.
D．Accept it but make them responsible for it.

27．（15分）Have you ever asked 1．(you) why children go to school? You will probably say that they go to learn languages, arithmetic, history, science and some other 2．(subject). That is quite accurate. But why do they learn these things?
We send our children to school 3．(prepare) them for the time when they will be big and will have to work for themselves. Nearly everything they study at school has some 4．(practice) use in their life. But is that the only reason for 5．they go to school?
There is more in education than just 6．(learn) factors. We go to school to learn how to learn, so that when we have left school, we can continue to learn. A man who really 7．(know) how to learn will always be successful, because when he has to do something new, he will not only be able to do it well himself, 8．be able to teach others how to do it in the best way. The uneducated person, on the other hand, is either unable to do something new, or just does it 9．(bad). The purpose of schools, therefore, is not to teach languages, arithmetic, history science, etc., but to teach pupils 10．way to learn.
