Museum director Axel Rueger called their return “one of the most special days in the history of the museum.”The paintings were discovered last year by Italian police while they were searchin g suspected Italian criminals’ farmhouse near Naples for evidence of drug dealing. The two paintings were wrapped in cotton sheets. They were stuffed in a box and hidden behind a wall in a toilet when they were found.The paintings were considered among the artworks most searched for in the world. After years in darkness, they can now shine again. They are back on display at the museum before being taken to the conservation studio for repair. Fortunately, they suffered remarkably little damage as thieves who had climbed up a ladder and broken a window to get into the museum in 2004 rip them out of their frames.“It is not only a surprise that the works have been recovered but it’s even more surprising they are in relatively unharmed condition,” Rueger said.The museum director was on vacation when the call came last year from Italian authorities who believed they had recovered the paintings. He didn’t celebrate right away. He’d had calls li this before.“I was hopeful but also a little hesitant. Over these ye ars, we had so many occasions when people phoned us, contacted us, claiming that they knew something about the whereabouts (下落) of the works and each time it was false, the trace went cold,” he said. “So...the way has been till of disappointment.” But muse um experts sent to Italyto check the authenticity(真实性) of the works quickly turned Rueger’s doubts into delight.Rueger said the paintings are now back permanently at the museum, which is home to dozens of works by Van Gogh. “I’m very confident that everything is safe in the museum from now on,” he said.24．How were the stolen paintings found?A. The police found them by accident.B. The arrested thieves gave information.C. Some drug dealers offered clues.D. The police knew the hidden place.25．What surprised Rueger most about the lost paintings?A. They were stolen at night.B. They were found at last.C. They suffered little damage.D. The search took 14 years.26．When Rueger got the call from Italian authorities, he .A. didn’t believe themB. felt quite relievedC. planned to celebrateD. doubted the news27．What does the underlined part in Paragraph 6 probably mean?A. Reuger gradually lost interest in the search.B. The number of false calls was greatly reduced.C. Rueger felt cold because of too many false calls.D. The chance to find the paintings became slim.Imagine that you’re the creator and show runner of the newest comedy show on television. Only it isn’t so popular yet, and your live Studio audience isn’t giving you the big laughs the show deserves. Do you film the show all over again, hoping that this time the audience will laugh? Or is there another option for making a joke sound funnier than it was received?Sweeten(改善) the sound by adding a laugh track! “Sweetening,” or the addition of sound effects such as laughs, screams, and other audience-produced noises to the audio track of a TV show, has been used since the 1940s to produce the appearance, or rather the sound, of an engaged and entertained response to a show’s come dy. Laugh tracks came into existence as not only a solution, and sometimes replacement, for an unengaged live audience but also as a way to engage an at-home audience into a more-traditional, public, and theaterlike experience. Adding a laugh track to a te levision show makes the viewers at home feel much less like they’re sitting on a couch staring at the television screen and much more like they’re in a room full of laughing happy people to varying degrees of success.Though the art of sweetening has risen and fallen in popularity over the past 60 years, credit for its creation and continued use is owed to laugh-track pioneer and sound engineer Charles Douglass. Douglass was the first to develop, in 1953, a machine for producing “canned laughter”, accessibl e at the push of a button or pull of a lever (操纵杆). Despite being artificial, sensibly edited laugh tracks are found by television studios to bring about a positive audience response, as their use is usually accompanied by higher ratings and increased audience memory. Though some television audiences may disagree with the value of the laugh track, the cheerful and repetitive sound holds a permanent place in the history and future of television comedy.28．The author uses the first paragraph to .A. i ntroduce the topic “sweetening”B. seek solutions for the problemC. point out a way of making comediesD. arouse readers’ interest in comedies29．What effect does a laugh track produce?A. The creation of a show.B. Funnier sound in a show,C. More engaged live audienceD. Communication among TV viewers.30．What’s the author’s attitude towards the use of the laugh track?A. Doubtful.B. Positive.C. Neutral (中立的).D. Uncertain,31．What does the passage mainly talk about?A. The reason for using laugh tracks.B. The brief history of laugh tracks.C. The development of TV comedies.D. The way to improve television shows.Academic learning is usually in the spotlight at school, but teaching elementary-age students “soft” skills like self-control and how to get along with others might help to keep at-risk kids out of criminal trouble in the future. Once a program called Fast Track was started in the early 1990s for more than 7,600 children of 55 schools in America. They were identified by their teachers and parents to be at high risk for developing aggressive behavioral problems. The students were randomly divided into two groups; half took part in the intervention, which included a teacher-led curriculum, parent training groups, academic tutoring and lessons in self-control and social skills. The program, which lasted from first grade through 10th grade, reduced delinquency(少年犯罪), arrests and use of health and mental health services as the students aged through adolescence and young adulthood.In another latest study, by looking at the data from nearly 900 students in previous findings, researchers found that about a third of the influence on future crime outcomes was due to the social and self-regulation skills the students learned from ages 6 to 11.The academic skills, or hard skills like learning of physics, which were taught as part of Fast Track, turned out to have less of an influence on crime and delinquency rates than did the soft skills, which are associated with emotional(情绪的) intelligence. Soft skills might include teaching kids to work cooperatively in a group or teaching them how to think about the long-term consequences when they make a decision.Researchers drew the conclusion that these soft skills should be emphasized even more in our education system and in our system of socializing children. Parents should do all they can to promote these skills with their children as should education policymakers. To the extent we can improve those skills, we can improve outcomes in delinquency.32．Fast Track was intended for children who .A. were randomly chosen from their schoolsB. had some problems with academic learningC. often went against their teachers and parents’ wishesD. were considered to have criminal trouble in the future33．What can be learned about "the intervention" in Paragraph 2?A. It included all the students.B. It focused on social skills.C. It improved health services.D. It had positive outcomes.34．Compared with soft skills, hard skills .A. almost have no influence on studentsB. are more affected by students’ emotionC. are mainly related to academic learningD. offer children greater self-control abilities35．Which is the best title for the passage?A. Soft Social Skills MatterB. Fast Track Helps ChildrenC. How to Prevent DelinquencyD. What to DO for Education三、七选五Taking on a part-time job while pursuing a degree is hard work, but there are great benefits from that. Students with part-time jobs can eam their own money, develop good time-management skills, and gain experience in the workplace.36．As they come into adulthood, earning an income can increase their confidence. Some students need to work through school to afford tuition. 37．Still, the money will be theirs to spend as they wish, and they may appreciate it more because they worked for it.Students taking on a job on top of their studies will have less free time than non-working students. 38．They learn to skip fun activities to finish their responsibilities. This prepares them for life after school wh en they can’t find excuses for work that’s not finished in time,Often, students take jobs that introduce them to their preferred career after school is over. 39．Even students who work in places not connected to their majors will look more impressive to potential employers. Employers look for employees who understand the work environment and work well as part of a team. 40．That will make it much easier for them to change their roles after leaving school.A. Others will set the money aside to pay back student loans.B. Other students may have to get help from their parents.C. Students having part-time jobs usually get employed easily after graduation.D. Having a part-time job helps students to get accustomed to the professional world.E. They tend to be better planners as they make sure they complete every task on deadline.F. Students who take part-time jobs will have more money than they would have otherwise.G. This allows them to gain experience in the business and begin meeting people in that field.四、短文改错41．假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改同桌写的以下作文。

We have been volunteering at the shelter ever since. I was recently feeling the push to serve more, so I scheduled a Saturday visit.My daughter had social invitations, but she also felt the push to visit the shelter, so she planned to go there with her friends and me, later in the day instead. Wepiled up old blankets, sheets and pillows to take along and donate. On arriving and touring, we met 500 dogs and 200 cats being cared for at this shelter. After the tour we served meals to the puppies in the sick or injured puppy room. We held and comforted those who would clearly survive their injuries and several who were so sick that the volunteer vet on hand said they had a 50% chance of being alive next week. Then we fed two sick and abandoned young kittens.While feeding the animals I watched the workers who were cleaning out some of the dog houses with healthy dogs who would be returned to the streets. I was touched most by how often they stopped in their duty to pet and play with these dogs. They did it with such love. While some workers and volunteers were paid, others were paid nothing to support these animals.My daughter and I stayed for 4-5 hours, beyond the time she had scheduled to meet friends for lunch. She chose to cancel her social date and spend more time with these animals despite the tough conditions. Tired and dirty, we felt blessed to share some time with people who care deeply for relieving the suffering of so many vulnerable beings. And then we went back. May all the sick and injured animals be relieved of their suffering.24.Why did the author plan a Saturday visit to the shelter?A.To apply to be a real social volunteer.B.To build up homes for homeless dogs.C.To do more work for homeless animals.D.To attend her daughter s gatherings with friends.25.According to the second paragraph, .A.not all of the hurt animals in the shelter could keep aliveB.the author s daughter finally accepted social invitationsC.the author merely fed sick dogs with his daughter and friendsD.most hurt animals in the shelter have a 50% chance of being alive26.What moved the author most while volunteering?A.The animals led a happy life in the shelter.B.The workers showed deep love to the animals.C.The workers were paid nothing to do their work.D.Many healthy animals would come back to the streets.27.What is the last paragraph mainly about?A.The schedule of the author s daughter.B.The author s wish to return to care animals.C.The reasons for the author s daughter missing her social date.D.The feelings of the father and daughter as volunteers in the shelter.CA survey of university backgrounds of heads of major global companies found that Harvard in the United States was the most likely place to have studied in.The Times Higher Education magazine ranked the universities attended by chief executive officers (CEO) of Fortune Global 500 companies. There are four US universities in the top 10, with three from France, two from Japan and one from South Korea. The highest ranked UK university is Oxford in 21st place.This league table, described as the Alma Mater Index, shows which universities around the world taught the bosses of some of the world s biggest companies. One in 20 had a degree from a single institution, Harvard. This included Margaret C. Whitman of Hewlett-Packard, Jeffrey R. Immelt of General Electric and Vittorio Colao of Vodafone.But the top 10 for producing business leaders does not contain all the usual names that appear at the top of university rankings. Oxford and Cambridge are absent, but the University of Pennsylvania in the US and Keio University in Japan are included, along with three French universities, headed by the Ecole Polytechnique.Across the top 100, universities from the US dominate, followed by universities in China, Japan, France and Germany. There are more CEOs who went to university in Asia than in Europe. In terms of national comparisons, UK universities produced the sixth highest number of global chief executives, with Oxford in 21st place and Cambridge in 45th place.But even though Harvard might have taught the biggest number of bosses from the top 500 companies, it was not attended by any of the heads of the biggest 10 companies, who were from a more diverse range of universities.Royal Dutch Shell is headed by a graduate of Zurich University of Applied Sciences; Walmart is headed by a student of Georgia Tech and Exxon Mobil has a chief executive from the University of Texas, Austin. Three of the leaders of these biggest companies went to university in China and the head of Volkswagen went to university in Stuttgart.28.How many Asian universities are among the world s top 10 universities for global CEOs?A.One.B.Two.C.Three.D.Four.29.What does the underlined word “dominate” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?A.Decrease.B.Accelerate.C.Take the lead.D.Make great progress.30.What can we learn about the UK universities?A.Cambridge University ranks highest among them.B.None of them are among the top 10 list of the survey.C.They performed better than French universities on the list.D.They produced the second most number of global CEOs.31.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A.The Rankings of the Famous Universities in the WorldB.Which Is Described as the Best University in the World?C.Students Are Currently Entering Various Top-class UniversitiesD.Which University Tops the League Table of Where Bosses Studied?D“Could your weekend lie-in (睡懒觉) kill you?” asked the Daily Mail. It is said in a study that sleeping more at weekends can increase the risk of heart disease. Since most of us change our sleep schedule depending on whether it s a work or non-work day, it s an interesting question. Is the lie-in really so dangerous? Researchers say that changing sleep patterns causes social jet lag. Is that even a thing?Changing our sleeping hours causes the effect of crossing a time zone—it makes us sleepy during the day. People who changed their sleep patterns were also more likely to gain weight during the study and more suited to going to bed and waking late because of the change of their biological clock. They were more at risk of these changes than earlier sleepers and risers. The study also shows an association between switching sleep patterns and changes in some blood results. It does not show that anyone s developing heart disease was because they had lie-ins.Jim Horne, one of the professors of the Sleep Research Centre at Loughborough University, says the concept of social jet lag is likely to feed our anxiety about sleep, so we should really stop worrying so much and have a limited weekend lie-in. Worry is bad for sleep and we naturally compensate for not getting enough rest in the week by lying-in at weekends, so we shouldn t stop doing it. However, we should limit the time.Studies show that if you accumulate a five-hour sleep debt during the week, then you only need one and a half hours of extra sleep on your days off to make up for it. It would be a shame to be scared of a lie-in. Studies of sleep and risk factors for heart disease can struggle to tell between poor sleep causing stress and stress disrupting sleep. Work stress can cause both a rise in blood pressure and changes in sleep patterns. Sleep is the test for the state of one s health, and the most important thing that happens when you don t get enough of it is that you feel sleepy.32.What s the probable effect of changing our sleep patterns?A.Becoming unhealthy.B.Losing weight quickly.C.Easily adapting to time zones.D.Becoming early sleepers and risers.33.What is Jim Horne s attitude towards the weekend lie-in?A.Negative.B.Doubtful.C.Unconcerned.D.Supportive.34.What does the underlined phrase “doing it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A.Lying-in.B.Worrying.C.Sleeping early.pensating for the limit.35.What can we infer from the text?A.The sleep debt must be paid off completely.B.The weekend lie-in is a bad habit for all people.C.The more hours one sleeps, the healthier he will be.D.Poor sleep may result from and cause stress in turn.第二节(共5小题; 每小题2分, 满分10 分)根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

ASaving Our Oceans●Your MissionTeach oceanographers(海洋学者)with different specialties about other ocean specialties and thus create a better understanding of the ocean as a complete, diverse system.●BriefingYou've been invited to lead the International Oceanographic Conference in Oslo, Norway. Over one hundred of your fellow oceanographers will attend it. The problem is, with so many different specialties in the field-from geological to biological oceanography-the oceanographers at the conference are finding it difficult to understand what their colleagues are studying, let alone to grasp the ocean as an entire, diverse system!Your job will be to give the opening speech at the Conference outlining the general kinds of oceanography in a way that each type of oceanographers will understand. Then, you will assign different oceanographers to different projects and explain to them how best to work together.●Family-x fileYounger Xpeditioners: Pick one project, and learn more about it through its photo gallery. Then, create a poster based on the animals and terrain(地形). Make sure to label each animal that you draw. Show your poster to your family and describe to them what you have drawn.Older Xpeditioners: Learn more about each of the projects: Where in the ocean would oceanographers go to study them? What animals might oceanographers study in the project? Which types of oceanographers would you assign for each project and how would they work together?Finally, think about the ways in which the different general kinds of oceanography might relate. Why is it important to look at the ocean as an entire system, rather than as distinct parts? How might looking at each separate part and the ocean as a whole impact conservation efforts? Practice your speech for the Conference in front of your family.21. What is your mission according to the text?A. To save the oceans all over the earth.B. To attend the International Oceanographic Conference in Norway.C. To enter for an activity with one hundred fellow oceanographers.D. To help better understand the ocean as a complete, diverse system.22. Where can you get the detailed instructions for you in advance?A. From the leader of the conference.B. From Younger Xpeditioners.C. From the part of Briefing.D. From Older Xpeditioners.23. How should you prepare your speech according to the text?A. Practice it at home with the family in front.B. Ask a lot of questions about the oceans.C. Create a poster to get informed.D. Invite other oceanographers to take part.BI have been teaching the tenth-grade English for four years. Needless to say, I love my subject and vowed to one day impart(透露) my love of literature to my future students. Well, I must admit, I have made more than a difference. I have changed the way students perceive(感知) literature and have even inspired some to become English teachers.One student in particular is named John. I met him last year when he was a student in my English class during the eighth period. He sat in the back often, saying very little. However, I sensed that he was taking in all that I taught. John was never absent nor was he late. He seemed very mature for his age.As the year progressed, we read lots of poetry and various stories about different cultures and real-life experiences. I have always wanted literature to speak to my students so that they could find relevant connections which would finally give them that motivation to read, write and interpret. While reading and writing poetry, John wrote some beautiful poetry that spoke of his experiences as a black male in America.On the last day of school, students were asked to write a brief autobiographical essay and to dedicate(献给) it to someone he or she thought was significant in his or her life. John dedicated his essay to me and used clip art that decorated the dedication with roses.He stated in the essay that "some people you meet in life are flowers, but then there are those who are roses. Ms. Hopkins, Ijust want you to know that you are a rose in my life and I have enjoyed every minute of being in your class. You have shown me that I have purpose in life and that I am a poet. I will never forget you." Tears streamed down my eyes. I had had a particularly hard personal life that year and somehow that letter made it worth the struggle.Making a significant contribution to someone's life is something money could never buy.

Earlier this month the eleven-year-old completed his biggest charity project to date. He walked almost two thousand kilometers from his home in Florida to Washington D.C. to raise money for homeless children in America. Zach called his project "From My House to the White House". He carried a message to the American president and lawmakers. He asked for help for the homeless children in the United States. The walk raised tens of thousands of dollars for Zach's cause.His mother says Zach has always enjoyed community service work. It began when Hurricane Charley hit Florida in 2014. Zach decided to help victims by walking around his area with his little red wagon collecting and giving out bottles of water. He got the nickname "Little Red Wagon Boy". Now, "Little Red Wagon" is the name of Zach's foundation. It has raised money for playgrounds and shelters for homeless children. Zach also gives out thousands of backpacks. He fills each "Zachpac" with a toy, personal cleaning supplies, socks, sewing supplies, a first-aid kit and food.Zach has won many awards, met several presidents and been on television. But that is not why he wants to help people. Zach Bonner says if you have a good heart you have to use it. And, he says, charity work is a lot of fun.Eighteen-year-old Christina Johnson and her older sister Geneva started their project, "Bring It On" in the Bronx area of New York City in 2014.

Christina Johnson and Geneva are making efforts to raise money.DCompanion planting is the idea that when some crops are planted together, they help eachother grow. The compatible plants generally have similar needs for nutrients, soil and moisture.Advice for companion plantings is sometimes based more on tradition than proof. But Fabian Fernandez at the University of Illinois says there is evidence for some combinations. These can lead to better crops, reduce disease and help with pest control byattracting helpful insects. For example, some kinds of soil bacteria take nitrogen(氮) from the air and make a form that plants can use. The plants keep the nitrogen in their roots. Legumes(豆类) are especially good at this. Any crops sharing the same space can get the nitrogen as the roots decompose(腐烂).Crops like beans and potatoes, carrots and cabbages, beans and rice can also share territory well because their roots reach different levels in the soil. Deep-rooted vegetables get nutrients and moisture from lower down, so they do not compete with shallower plants. But some plants placed together may harm each other's development. For example, tomatoes do not like wet soil but watercress does, as the name suggests. So you would probably not want to put them together.Even after harvest, some kinds of produce should be kept apart. Apples, for example, release ethylene gas,a plant hormone. It can cause other foods to ripen(成熟)too quickly. Markets often separate high ethylene-producing foods from those that are sensitive to the gas. But sometimes you might want them together. For example, if you put an apple in a bag with a green banana, the banana will be ready to eat sooner.Now what about peaches, plums and nectarines that are too firm to eat? Growers in California answer this question at . They say an apple,a banana or a riper piece of fruit is not needed. The peaches, plums and nectarines themselves release enough of the gas to ripen successfully.Here's their advice: place the fruit in afruit bowl or in a paper bag with the top folded over. Keep the fruit at room temperature. When the fruit is soft enough to your liking, either use it or place it in a refrigerator to stop further ripening.32. What are the basic needs for companion planting?A. Good old companions.B.Some kinds of soil bacteria.C. Nutrients, soil and moisture.D.Helpful insects.33. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 most probably mean?A. To some extent, companion planting relies more on traditional experience.B. In the field of companion planting, proof always speaks louder than tradition.C. Traditional experience is much less reliable than scientific experiments.D. Scientific researches have thrown light on the theory of companion planting.34. According to the text, which group of plants are not suitable to be planted together?A. Beans and potatoes.B.Tomatoes and watercress.C. Carrots and cabbages.D.Beans and rice.35. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?A. We should choose fruit from markets as often as possible.B. The peaches, plums and nectarines should always be put together to get riper.C. The fruit in afruit bowl or in a paper bag should be eaten as soon as possible.D. We should not place any ripening fruit out in direct sunlight.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项。

Your eyes are busy looking around.” Wang jin, a master Kunqu Opera actress from the Northern Kunqu Opera Theater in Beijing tells a group of students at a training class in Beijing. “Press your toes into the ground and let your heels rise. Just take your steps quickly and lightheartedly.”About 10 students from Beijing Zizhong Primary School, both boys and girls, gathered at the third floor of the NCPA in Beijing recently and followed Wang’s instructions as they walked around in a circle. They were playing the role of a young woman. During the 40-minute class, Wang demonstrated the basic techniques and movements of the 600-year-old Kunqu Opera. “I’ve never walked like this, which is the typical walk of a female role of traditional Chinese opera,” says one of the students, Zhang Minqin, who is in the fifth grade.” I am more familiar with the way of male role walks.

He started learning Peking Opera about two years ago after participating in a free training program organized by the NCPA. “Most of the students have never watched Kunqu Opera performances before and I try to make this ancient art form come alive and be of interest to them,” says Wang, who has been involving in training amateur students during the past five years. “They don’t necessarily become professional Kunqu Opera actor s when they grow up. But I believe the experience of performing Kunqu Opera will let them get closer to traditional Chinese arts.”That afternoon, Zhang was among more than 1,200 students from Zizhong Primary School and the primary school attached to Beijing No. 166 Middle School to participate in public art programs organized by the NCPA.24.

Children are totally content with learning KunqunCFather in the globe is a hardworking man who delivers bread as a living to support his wife and children.My father spent all his evenings after work attending classes, hoping to improve himself so that he could one day find a better paying job. Except for Sundays, he hardly ate a meal together with the family. Whenever we complained that he was not spending enough time with us, he reasoned that he was doing all this for us. But he often yearned to spend more time with our family.Like a dream came true, soon after, he was offered a good job as a senior supervisor which paid handsomely. My father could afford to provide our family with life’s little luxuries like nice clothing, fine food and vacation abroad.However, he continued to work very hard, hoping to be promoted to the position if manager. If fact, to make himself a worthily candidate for the promotion, heenrolled for another course in the open university.Again, whenever we complained that he was not spending enough time with us, he reasoned that he was doing all this for us. But he often yearned to spend more time with his family.Father’s hard work paid off and he was promoted. Delightedly, he decided to hire a maid to relieve mom from her domestic tasks. He also felt that our two-room flat was no longer big enough, it would be nice for us to be able to enjoy the facilities and comfort of a house. Having experienced the rewards of his hard work many times before, he was devoted to further his studies and work at being promoted again. The whole family still did not get to see much of him. Again, whenever we complained that he was not spending enough time with us, he reasoned that he was doing all this for us. But he often yearned to spend more time his family.28.

Figures put it at between six to eight hours a day for 11-15 year-olds, and that’s not including time spent on a computer for homework. In fact, even the average UK adult spends more time looking at a screen than they do sleeping, according to one analysis.As starts early, a third of UK children have access to a tablet(平板) before they are four. It’s no surprise, then, that today’s youngest generations will be exposed to (and no-doubt join) the social networks their elders already use. Snapchat, for instance, is extremely popular among teens. One December 2017 survey found that 70% of US teens aged 13-18 use it. Most of those questioned also have an Instagram account. Figures are similar in the UK.Over three billion of us are now registered on a social network, many of us on more than one. We spend a lot of time there. US adults spend an average of 2-3 hours a day. This trend is now exposing some worrying results and staying hot on the heels of social-media’s popularity. Therefore, researc hers are interested in the impact on many aspects of our health, including sleep, the importance of which is currently gaining unprecedented attention.We’re now coming to realize that social media has some clearly negative effects on our sleep and our mental health. To fight any disadvantages of social media use, it’s clear that moderation(节制) is key. Sigman says we should distance ourselves from our screens throughout the day, and do the same for children. Parents, he argues, need to have set places in their homes where devices can or cannot be used. So it’s not a fluid situation where social media is bleeding into every part of your life without any buffer(缓冲) zones. This is especially important as children have not yet developed their control to know when is enough, he explains. As for adults, if you were on your phone before bed last night, and you feel a bit weak today. So, you may sleep better if you put your phone away.32. What does the average UK adult do to kill their time on?A. Building up their income.B. Sleeping after work.C. Accompanying their children.D. Looking at a screen.33. Why are researchers interested in the impact on the health of people?A. Because people suffer a lot from wakefulness.B. Because this trend leads to some negative results.C. Because the trend gains unusual attention.D. Because people fail to control themselves.34. What is the key to fight disadvantages of social media use for adult?A. To restrict limits to the screen.B. To distance themselves from the screen.C. To create a ring-fence.D. To expose to social media.35. What is Sigman’s attitude toward the social media use?A. SkepticalB. SupportiveC. NegativeD.

She decided to work at one of New York’s oldest literary agencies. Yet she had no i dea that it would be the first stepping stone on the way to becoming a writer, and later, the novelist she is today.In the face of the ups and downs, she gave it her all. She can still remember that her boss was very challenging. “The thing that worked wh en my boss was being difficult was remembering it wasn’t personal. Usually, it’s not about you, it’s them,” she advises anyone in a similar situation.Being a manager and editor herself later in her career also helped to make sense of what happened years b efore. “It’s really hard managing a lot of people. I had a lot more sympathy for my former boss after that. You don’t know everything that’s going on with them, and remember: they’re a person, too,” she says.After only a year, Rakoff realized she was not “an agency person” as her manager had believed, but the seed had been planted. She left with dreams of becoming a writer and a real understanding of the world of glossy (亮丽光鲜的) magazines.Rakoff rose from writing magazine articles to features editor, and later editor-in-chief. Dreams of one day writing fiction remained. “Writing pieces for magazines really helped me to become an author. It helped make writing less scary. When you write regularly and have deadlines, it really teaches you that sometimes you h ave to sit down and just do it,” she says.With all the pressure on young people these days, it is important to remember you don’t have to be in the perfect job right away. What’s more, you don’t need to know what you want to be or do for a career as soon as you finish high school or college. Rakoff explains how many of her very successful friends found different paths toward becoming fiction writers. There is nothing wrong with having a job to keep you busy and pay the bills while you figure out your passions, she says.4．When Joanna Rakoff was offered the first job. she .A．gave it up to seek for some better opportunitiesB．left it at once because the boss was too demandingC．agreed to work for the old literacy agency in New YorkD．accepted it believing it would lead to her future success5．How could Rakoff understand her boss in the literary agency?A．She thought her boss was under great pressure.B．She believed her boss expected her to work better.C．She knew her colleagues were doing well enough.D．She became a manager and editor herself later on.6．Rakoff left the literary agency with the ambition of .A．working as a managerB．writing for magazinesC．becoming a fiction writerD．being an agency person7．What can we learn from Rakoff’s experience?A．The grass is always greener on the other side.B．Keep on what you are doing until you succeed.C．Land the best job as soon as you graduate from college.D．A seemingly imperfect job may as well lead to success.In third-world countries such as Swaziland and Haiti, a $ 15-dollar invention is making a world of difference. Nokero, a company started by Brian Rants, sells lamps that do not require kerosene (蓖麻油). These solar lamps have become a staple (主流产品) in countries in Africa, to provide light for reading and safety at night.Nokcro has sold over 500,000 lamps in over 120 countries since it was first founded in 2010 and Rants thinks the demand for his product will only continue to increase. Most lamps found in third-world countries currently require kerosene to run. but kerosene causes indoor pollution and has been linked to fires that have caused over a million deaths.Instead of experiencing the effects of smoking 40 cigarettes a day from kerosene lamps, Rants thinks his solar lamps could be the answer for third-world countries. The Economist agrees, calling solar lights “the next big innovation for the world’s poor”. Nokero’s solar lamps are higher in quality and less expensive than a lot of solar technology, making them a practical option for many people in third world countries.Rather than giving solar lamps to individuals in need. Nokero’s mission is to make them affordable. Through research Rants has realized that individuals who buy a solar product take better care of it and value it more than if they had received it for free. Families who buy Nokero’s solar lamps make up the cost in just a few months of not having to buy kerosene or pay for off-the-grid electricity.Some activists have attacked companies such as Nokero for selling products to the poorrather than simply giving them out for free. They argue that these companies unfairly profit off the poor. However, Rants disagrees. Families receive a product that is much higher in quality than what they might receive for free and feel a sense of ownership having purchased it for themselves.8．What do we know about the solar lamps in the passage?A．They save energy and cause no pollution.B．They equal the effect of 40 cigarettes a day.C．They are given to the individuals free of charge.D．They help to save kerosene in third-world countries.9．According to Rants, if the poor arc given the lamps for free, they .A．will have to pay for kerosene or electricityB．will not take good care or value the lampsC．will feel a sense of ownership of the lampsD．won’t help to increase the sales of the lamps10．What is paragraph 3 mainly about?A．An innovation of the world.B．Advantages of the solar lights.C．Solution to world’s poverty problems.D．Heavy pollution caused by kerosene lamps.11．Which word describes Brian Rants?A．Honest. B．Thoughtful.C．Charitable. D．Greedy.On Sunday, March 11, most Americans will set their clocks forward an hour, as daylight saving time (sometimes wrongly called daylight savings time) begins and most of the United States can enjoy an extra hour of daylight. The spring and fall clock changes continue a long tradition started by Benjamin Franklin to conserve energy.Benjamin Franklin lakes the honor (or the blame, depending on your view of the lime changes) for coming up with the idea to reset clocks in the summer months as a way to conserve energy. By moving clocks forward, people could take advantage of the extra evening daylight rather than wasting energy on lighting. At the time, Franklin was ambassador to Paris and so wrote a letter to the Journal of Paris in 1784, rejoicing over his “discovery” that the sunprovides light as soon as it rises.Even so, DST (Daylight Saving Time) didn’t officially begin until more than a century later. Germany established DST in May 1916 as a way to conserve fuel during World War I. The rest of Europe came onboard shortly thereafter. And in 1918, the United States adopted DST.Though President Woodrow Wilson wanted to keep daylight saving time after WWI ended, the country was mostly rural at the time and farmers objected, partly because it would mean they lost an hour of morning light. And so daylight saving time was abolished until at the start of WWII, on Feb. 9, 1942, President Franklin Roosevelt re-established daylight saving time year- round, calling it “War Time.”After the war, a free-for-all system in which U.S. states and towns were given the choice of whether or not to observe DST led to disorder. And in 1966, to avoid such “Wild West” confusion, Congress passed the Uniform Time Act. That federal law meant that any state observing DST —and they didn’t have to jump on the DST system — had to follow a uniform timing system throughout the state in which daylight saving time would begin on the first Sunday of April and end on the last Sunday of October.Then, in 2007, the Energy Policy Act of 2005 went into effect, expanding the length of daylight saving lime to the present timing.12．What is the passage mainly about?A．What is Daylight Saving Time?B．How did Daylight Saving Time start?C．Who proposed Daylight Saving Time?D．Why Daylight Saving Time is adopted?13．It can be inferred that .A．DST was adopted in the US mainly to preserve fuelB．DST lasted for 24 years in the US before being canceledC．it is still free for the states in the US to adopt the DST or notD．farmers in the US rejected DST for losing an hour of evening light14．What is the meaning of the underlined expression “rejoicing over” in paragraph 2? A．Taking pride in. B．Taking interest in.C．Feeling regret for. D．Feeling surprised about.15．Which country adopted DST earliest, according to the passage?A．France. B．Germany.C．England. D．The United States.二、七选五Deleted Photos May Still Be on Your PhoneWhen you remove a photo from your cell phone, it may not be gone for good.

After living in the dorm for three weeks and gelling over 21 , I was actually looking forward to having some quiet time at home. On Friday, September 13, I packed up a few things and left campus around 2:00 p.m. 22 being Friday the 13th, the main question on my mind was, 23 would it be like to go home for the first time after just getting over homesickness? As my mother drove through town I could tell that not much had 24 , but still felt weird. 25 it dawned on me. I was starting to think of Cedar Crest as my home.I had a great weekend. I 26 Jewish services most of the weekend, but I did have time to fool around on America Online and do a few other things that I had 27 for three weeks. I spent a lot of time playing with my pet bunny rabbit 28 I missed her a lot. When Sunday came around I 29 wanted to get back to Cedar Crest. My father brought me back. When we arrived, all he did was to 30 me unload the car while I carried all the stuff to my room. Then I hugged and kissed him good-bye, and he 31 . It was amazing to me 32 I just sent him home like that without wanting to hop back in the car.I guess all that I wanted was to be back in the safety of my 33 room and see all my34 again.I have been home once more 35 .

We have been volunteering at the shelter ever since. I was recently feeling the push to serve more, so I scheduled a Saturday visit.My daughter had social invitations, but she also felt the push to visit the shelter, so she planned to go there with her friends and me, later in the day instead. We piled up old blankets, sheets and pillows to take along and donate. On arriving and touring, we met 500 dogs and 200 cats being cared for at this shelter. After the tour we served meals to the puppies in the sick or injured puppy room. We held and comforted those who would clearly survive their injuries and several who were so sick that the volunteer vet on hand said they had a 50% chance of being alive next week. Then we fed two sick and abandoned young kittens.While feeding the animals I watched the workers who were cleaning out some of the dog houses with healthy dogs who would be returned to the streets. I was touched most by how often they stopped in their duty to pet and play with these dogs. They did it with such love. While some workers and volunteers were paid, others were paid nothing to support these animals.My daughter and I stayed for 4-5 hours, beyond the time she had scheduled to meet friends for lunch. She chose to cancel her social date and spend more time with these animals despite the tough conditions. Tired and dirty, we felt blessed to share some time with people who care deeply for relieving the suffering of so many vulnerable beings. And then we went back.

There are four US universities in the top 10, with three from France, two from Japan and one from South Korea. The highest ranked UK university is Oxford in 21st place.This league table, described as the Alma Mater Index, shows which universities around the world taught the bosses of some of the world??s biggest companies. One in 20 had a degree from asingle institution, Harvard. This included Margaret C. Whitman of Hewlett-Packard, Jeffrey R. Immelt of General Electric and Vittorio Colao of Vodafone.But the top 10 for producing business leaders does not contain all the usual names that appear at the top of university rankings. Oxford and Cambridge are absent, but the University of Pennsylvania in the US and Keio University in Japan are included, along with three French universities, headed by the Ecole Polytechnique.Across the top 100, universities from the US dominate, followed by universities in China, Japan, France and Germany. There are more CEOs who went to university in Asia than in Europe. In terms of national comparisons, UK universities produced the sixth highest number of global chief executives, with Oxford in 21st place and Cambridge in 45th place.But even though Harvard might have taught the biggest number of bosses from the top 500 companies, it was not attended by any of the heads of the biggest 10 companies, who were from a more diverse range of universities.Royal Dutch Shell is headed by a graduate of Zurich University of Applied Sciences; Walmart is headed by a student of Georgia Tech and Exxon Mobil has a chief executive from the Universityof Texas, Austin. Three of the leaders of these biggest companies went to university in China and the head of Volkswagen went to university in Stuttgart.many Asian universities are among the world??s top 10 universities for global CEOs . . . .does the underlined word “dominate” in Paragraph 5 probably mean. .the lead. great progress.can we learn about the UK universitiesUniversity ranks highest among them.of them are among the top 10 list of the survey.performed better than French universities on the list.produced the second most number of global CEOs.of the following can be the best title for the textRankings of the Famous Universities in the WorldIs Described as the Best University in the WorldAre Currently Entering Various Top-class UniversitiesUniversity Tops the League Table of Where Bosses StudiedD“Could your weekend lie-in (睡懒觉) kill you” asked the Daily Mail. It is said in a study that sleeping more at weekends can increase the risk of heart disease. Since most of us change our sleep schedule depending on whether it??s a work or non-work day, it??s an interesting question. Is thelie-in really so dangerous Researchers say that changing sleep patterns causes social jet lag. Is that even a thingChanging our sleeping hours causes the effect of crossing a time zone—it makes us sleepy during the day. People who changed their sleep patterns were also more likely to gain weight during the study and more suited to going to bed and waking late because of the change of their biological clock. They were more at risk of these changes than earlier sleepers and risers. The study also shows an association between switching sleep patterns and changes in some blood results. It does not show that anyone??s developing heart disease was because they had lie-ins.Jim Horne, one of the professors of the Sleep Research Centre at Loughborough University, says the concept of social jet lag is likely to feed our anxiety about sleep, so we should really stop worrying so much and have a limited weekend lie-in. Worry is bad for sleep and we naturally compensate for not getting enough rest in the week by lying-in at weekends, so we shouldn??t stop doing it. However, we should limit the time.?Studies show that if you accumulate a five-hour sleep debt during the week, then you only need one and a half hours of extra sleep on your days off to make up for it. It would be a shame to be scared of a lie-in. Studies of sleep and risk factors for heart disease can struggle to tell between poor sleep causing stress and stress disrupting sleep. Work stress can cause both a rise in blood pressure and changes in sleep patterns. Sleep is the test for the state of one??s health, and the most important thing that happens when you don??t get enough of it is that you feel sleepy.??s the probable effect of changing our sleep patternsunhealthy.weight quickly.adapting to time zones.early sleepers and risers.is Jim Horne??s attitude towards the weekend lie-in. . . .does the underlined phrase “doing it” in Paragraph 3 refer to. .early. for the limit.can we infer from the textsleep debt must be paid off completely.weekend lie-in is a bad habit for all people.more hours one sleeps, the healthier he will be.sleep may result from and cause stress in turn.第二节(共5小题; 每小题2分, 满分10 分)根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Well, check out the top 4 amazing stories of animals saving humans.Dolphins saving a surfer from a great white sharkDolphins are known to be some of the most compassionate and intelligent animals in the world. The evidence of the animals helping human beings dates back to the Ancient Greece. In 2007, Todd Endris, a surfer was attacked by a white shark，12-15 foot long, off the California's Marine State Park coast. It was dolphins that came to his rescue by forming a protective ring around him.An ape saving a boy after a fallA 3-year-old boy climbed over the barrier to the hole of the ape unexpectedly.He fell to the floor, 20 feet below, and lay motionless. Binti, an 8-year-old ape saw him and picked him up. The ape cuddled the boy gently in her arms, making sure that he could protect him from the other apes and eventually handed him to the zookeepers.Lions saving a girl from kidnappersEarly in June, four men kidnapped a 12-year-old girl on her way home from school.

National Center for the Performing Arts leads the push to seed young talents.“Imagine you are walking across a garden full of beautiful flowers. Your eyes are busy looking around.” Wang jin, a master Kunqu Opera actress from the Northern Kunqu Opera Theater in Beijing tells a group of students at a training class in Beijing. “Press your toes into the ground and let your heels rise. Just take your steps quickly and lightheartedly.”About 10 students from Beijing Zizhong Primary School, both boys and girls, gathered at the third floor of the NCPA in Beijing recently and followed Wang’s instructions as they walked around in a circle. They were playing the role of a young woman. During the 40-minute class, Wang demonstrated the basic techniques and movements of the 600-year-old Kunqu Opera. “I’ve never walked like this, which is the typical walk of a female role of traditional Chinese opera,” says one of the students, Zhang Minqin, who is in the fifth grade.” I am more familiar with the way of male role walks. But it is funny to walk like a girl.”Zhang is no stranger to traditional Chinese opera. He started learning Peking Opera about two years ago after participating in a free training program organized by the NCPA. “Most of the students have never watched Kunqu Opera performances before and I try to make this ancient art form come alive and be of interest to them,” says Wang, who has been involving in training amateur students during the past five years. “They don’t necessarily become professional Kunqu Opera actors when they grow up. But I believe the experience of performing Kunqu Opera will let them get closer to traditional Chinese arts.”That afternoon, Zhang was among more than 1,200 students from Zizhong Primary School and the primary school attached to Beijing No. 166 Middle School to participate in public art programs organized by the NCPA.24.

He has played a part of male role for almost five years.B. He prefers familiar way of a male role than a female role.C. It is first time to perform the typical walk of a female.D. It is the typical walk of a female role that he feels funny.27. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. Traditional Chinese Art is more and more popular among the childrenB.

Children are totally content with learning KunqunCFather in the globe is a hardworking man who delivers bread as a living to support his wife and children.My father spent all his evenings after work attending classes, hoping to improve himself so that he could one day find a better paying job. Except for Sundays, he hardly ate a meal together with the family. Whenever we complained that he was not spending enough time with us, he reasoned that he was doing all this for us. But he often yearned to spend more time with our family.Like a dream came true, soon after, he was offered a good job as a senior supervisor which paid handsomely. My father could afford to provide our family with life’s little luxuries like nice clothing, fine food and vacation abroad.However, he continued to work very hard, hoping to be promoted to the position if manager. If fact, to make himself a worthily candidate for the promotion, heenrolled for another course in the open university.Again, whenever we complained that he was not spending enough time with us, he reasoned that he was doing all this for us. But he often yearned to spend more time with his family.Father’s hard work paid off and he was promoted. Delightedly, he decided to hire a maid to relieve mom from her domestic tasks. He also felt that our two-room flat was no longer big enough, it would be nice for us to be able to enjoy the facilities and comfort of a house. Having experienced the rewards of his hard work many times before, he was devoted to further his studies and work at being promoted again. The whole family still did not get to see much of him. Again, whenever we complained that he was not spending enough time with us, he reasoned that he was doing all this for us. But he often yearned to spend more time his family.28.

Devoted, optimistic and responsible.B. Hard-working, promoted and selfish.C. Proud, workaholic and stubborn.D.

Figures put it at between six to eight hours a day for 11-15 year-olds, and that’s not including time spent on a computer for homework. In fact, even the average UK adult spends more time looking at a screen than they do sleeping, according to one analysis.As starts early, a third of UK children have access to a tablet(平板) before they are four. It’s no surprise, then, that today’s youngest generations will be exposed to (and no-doubt join) the social networks their elders already use. Snapchat, for instance, is extremely popular among teens. One December 2017 survey found that 70% of US teens aged 13-18 use it. Most of those questioned also have an Instagram account. Figures are similar in the UK.Over three billion of us are now registered on a social network, many of us on more than one. We spend a lot of time there. US adults spend an average of 2-3 hours a day. This trend is now exposing some worrying results and staying hot on the heels of social-media’s popularity. Therefo re, researchers are interested in the impact on many aspects of our health, including sleep, the importance of which is currently gaining unprecedented attention.We’re now coming to realize that social media has some clearly negative effects on our sleep and our mental health. To fight any disadvantages of social media use, it’s clear that moderation(节制) is key. Sigman says we should distance ourselves from our screens throughout the day, and do the same for children. Parents, he argues, need to have set places in their homes where devices can or cannot be used. So it’s not a fluid situation where social media is bleeding into every part of your life without any buffer(缓冲) zones. This is especially important as children have not yet developed their control to know when is enough, he explains. As for adults, if you were on your phone before bed last night, and you feel a bit weak today. So, you may sleep better if you put your phone away.32. What does the average UK adult do to kill their time on?A. Building up their income.B. Sleeping after work.C. Accompanying their children.D. Looking at a screen.33. Why are researchers interested in the impact on the health of people?A. Because people suffer a lot from wakefulness.B. Because this trend leads to some negative results.C. Because the trend gains unusual attention.D. Because people fail to control themselves.34. What is the key to fight disadvantages of social media use for adult?A. To restrict limits to the screen.B. To distance themselves from the screen.C. To create a ring-fence.D. To expose to social media.35. What is Sigman’s attitude toward the social media use?A. SkepticalB. SupportiveC. NegativeD.
