However, still many are of poor quality.(32 words)I am in support of adapting literature classics into films or TV series. Firstly, art takes various forms, and so does the appreciation of classic literature. The digital and commercial age offers us different ways to admire the beauty of literature classics. Adapted versions, if true to the original works and well produced, are undoubtedly a cultural feast for either average viewers or faithful classic literature lovers. Additionally, sometimes when an adaptation turns into a hit, the audience may be driven to read the original work. Trapped in quick-paced life, we could barely spare time to sink into a sofa, reading peacefully. Film or TV adaptations, featuring vivid characters and an appealing plot, bring literature classics back to life.To conclude, literature classics are worth adaptation. (126 words)反对:Adaptations of films and TV series from literature classics have created a brilliant culture. The dream of the Red Mansion is a relatively successful example. However, still many are of poor quality.(32 words)Personally, literature classics should not be adapted into films or TV series. The value of classics lies in their very basic nature: the perfect employment of language and life philosophy between words. To cater to viewers’ taste and gain more profits, producers couldn’t avoid making changes to the original work. Thus, viewers might be misguided and get a wrong picture of the original story, let alone miss the opportunity to appreciate literature on their own. Moreover, with an increasing number of poorly-made adaptations, viewers, especially the young, tend to focus more on those good-looking performers, ignorant of the real culture hidden in the literature works.To conclude, literature classics are not supposed to be adapted into films or TV series.

But that “one more thing” often comes at Goldman’s expense.“You’re exhausted and a patient or their family look at you with begging eyes,” he says. “So you have this dilemma: say that your shift is over or give until you’re totally spent?” Goldman’s work stress combined with family tension after his mother was diagnosed with dementia 20 years ago. Caring for her over a decade was difficult, as was dealing with his father’s grief. “When someone else is drowning you, you have to grab a l ife preserver and save yourself,” says Goldman.Setting boundaries isn’t just important for busy professionals; everyone can benefit from managing situations that cause undue stress or pain. Here are some tips.First, “If someone’s behavior makes you unhap py --- and it could be anything from the way they speak to you to repeatedly failing to stick to their promise --- then there’s room to set limits,” says Patrick Keelan, a Calgary psychologist. We often avoid setting limits because we prioritize the happiness and comfort of others over ours. In order to control t hi s im pul se, Goldman suggests framing the development of boundaries as a form of self-kindness. When facing an overwhelming situation like the one he was in with his father, Goldman suggestsre flecting on what is making you feel uncomfortable, unhappy or unappreciated. “You can’t relate to others or be kind to others if you aren’t kind to yourself,” he says.Second, once you’ve become aware of your needs, setting and maintaining boundaries requir es clear verbal communication. There are three obstacles to enforcing boundaries in a relationship: fear, guilt and self-doubt, says psychologist Nicole MaCance. We often fear that if we set limits, the other person will reject us, or we feel bad claiming our needs. Keelan proposes setting ground rules before relationships become tense. Start by cooperatively listing values --- like mutual respect, support, and loyalty --- and then building the guidelines from these values. If you’re struggling to reach a consensus, Keelan recommends engaging a third party, such as a therapist, to help.Now, if you want a boundary to stick to, you can’t enable someone in breaking it. As such, it’s crucial to establish consequences for transgressions ( 越轨). Otherwise, McMance says, “you’re giving them permission to violate that boundary.” If they won’t respect your boundaries, you have to do some soul- searching about the value of the relationship. “When you feel bad more than you feel good in this person’s presence, an d when the relationship is impacting your self-worth and happiness, it’s time to reassess,” says McCance. Saying no ishard, but she suggests framing it as saying yes to healthier relationships. “We’re all better试卷第8页,总17页mothers and partners and brothers when we h ave boundaries.” 38.What do we know about Goldman? A .He is in need of support in his work. B .He is caught between his work and life. C .He slides into the state of desperation. D .He always puts his family at the first place.39.What do the underlined words “this impulse” refer to? A .prioritizing others’ happiness B .avoiding setting limitsC .failing to stick to their promiseD .framing the development of boundaries40.What’s the best title of the passage? A .Do communicate. B .Do not cross. C .Identify your limits. D .Say no and mean it.Babies have an astonishing talent that adults entirely lose. By the age of one, they can recognise the significant noises around them and group them into a language. When we have lost this capacity as adults, it becomes enormously difficult to distinguish between sounds that are glaringly different to a native speaker. It all sounds Greek to us. This is because the range of possible sounds that humans use to convey meaning may be as high as 2,000, but few languages use more than 100 and even then the significant noises -the phonemes (音素) of a language -each cover a range of sounds and so vague distinctions which would change the meaning of a word in other languages.But where do these phonemes come from and why do they shift over time? New research suggests that the apparently arbitrary distribution of some sounds around the world may be partially explained by diet. This is unexpected. We’d rather think of language as product of our thought, rather than of the arrangement of our teeth. In reality, though, any given language must be both.Hunter gatherer languages very seldom use the sounds known as labiodentals (唇齿音)-those such as f and v -that are made by touching the lower lip with the upper teeth. Only two of the hundreds of Australian aboriginal languages use them, for example. But in cultures that have discovered farming, these consonants (辅音) are much more common. The argument goes that farmers eat more cooked food and more dairy than hunter gatherers. Either way, they need to chew mush less, and to bite less with their front teeth. So farmers grew up with smaller lowerjaws and more of an overbite than their ancestors who had to bite through harder foods. It became easier for them to make the labiodental consonants instead of purely labial (唇音) ones: one example is that f come to take the place of p. Romans said “pater” but English speakers (unless they’re Rees-Moggs) say “father”.Beyond these particular changes, the story highlights the way in which everything distinctively human is both material and spiritual: speech must combine sound and meaning, and the meaning can ’t exist or be transmitted without a real object. But neither can it be reduced to the purely physical, as our inability to understand or even to recognise foreign languages makes clear. The food we eat shapes our jaws, and our jaws in turn shape the sounds of our language. The ease with which we eat probably shapes our thought too, as anyone who has suffered toothache could testify. What we eat may have shaped the sounds of our language, but how we eat changes how we feel and what we use language to express. A family meal is very different from a sandwich at the office desk, even if the calorie is the same. Food has purposes and meanings far beyond keeping us alive and pleasing the Palate (味觉). 41.Compared with adults, babies could more easily .A.create significant noises B.classify the forms of noises C.understand the Greek language D.distinguish meaningful sounds 42.According to the passage, which of the following factors help shape language? A.Lips and teeth. B.Jobs and habits.C.Age and regions. D.Food and thinking.43.The reason for farmers' making sounds of “f” and “v” is .A.enjoying more cooked foods B.biting more with front teeth C.constantly chewing harder foods D.growing up with lager lower jaws 44.By writing this passage, the author intends to reveal .A.jaws help shape our thoughtB.food determines our thoughtC.diet has some influence on languageD.language consists of sound and meaningBritish children used to play conkers (板栗游戏) in the autumn when thehorse-chestnut trees started to drop their shiny brown nuts. They would select a suitablechestnut, drill a hole in it and thread it onto a string, then swing their conker at that of an试卷第10页,总17页opponent until one of them broke. But the game has fallen out of favour. Children spend less time outdoors and rarely have access to chestnut trees. Besides, many schools have banned conkers games, worried that they might cause injuries or nut allergies.That sort of risk-averseness(规避风险) now spreads through every aspect of childhood. Playgrounds have all the excitement designed out of them to make them safe. Manygovernments, particularly in societies such as America, have tightened up their rules, requiring parents to supervise(监管) young children far more closely than in the past. Frank Furedi of the University of Kent, a critic on modern parenting, argues that allowing children to play unsupervised or leaving them at home alone is increasingly described as a symptom of irresponsible parenting.In part, such increased caution is a response to the huge wave of changes. Large-scale urbanization, smaller and more mobile families, the move of women into the labor market and the digitization of many aspects of life have unavoidably changed the way that people bring up their children. There is little chance that any of these trends will be changed, so today's more intensive(精细化的) parenting style is likely to go on.Such parenting practices now embraced by wealthy parents in many parts of the rich world, particularly in America, go far beyond an adjustment to changes in external conditions. They mean a strong bid to ensure that the advantages enjoyed by the parents’ generation are passed on to their children. Since success in life now turns mainly on education, such parents will do their best to provide their children with the schooling, the character training and the social skills that will secure access to the best universities and later the most attractive jobs.To some extent that has always been the case. But there are more such parents now, and they are competing with each other for what economists call positional goods. This competition starts even before the children are born. The wealthy classes will take their time to select a suitable spouse and get married, and will start a family only when they feel ready for it.Children from less advantaged backgrounds, by contrast, often appear before their parents are ready for them. In America 60% of births to single women under 30 are unplanned, and over 40% of children are born outside marriage. The result, certainly in America, has been to widen already massive social inequalities yet further.All the evidence suggests that children from poorer backgrounds are at a disadvantage almost as soon as they are born. By the age of five or six they are far less “school -ready” than their better-off peers, so any attempts to help them catch up have to start long before they get toschool. America has had some success with various schemes involving regular home visits by nurses or social workers to low-income families with new babies. It also has long experience with programmes for young children from poor families that combine support for parents with good-quality child care. Such programmes do seem to make a difference. Without extra effort, children from low-income families in most countries are much less likely than their better-off peers to attend preschool education, even though they are more likely to benefit from it. And data from the OECD’s PISA programme suggest that children need at least two years of preschool education to perform at their best when they are 15.So the most promising way to ensure greater equality may be to make early-years education and care for more widely available and more affordable, as it is in the Nordics. Some governments are already rethinking their educational priorities, shifting some of their spending to the early years.Most rich countries decided more than a century ago that free, compulsory education for all children was a worthwhile investment for society. There is now an argument for starting preschool education earlier, as some countries have already done. In the face of crushing new inequalities, a modern version of that approach is worth trying.45.What can we learn from the first two paragraphs?A.More attention is placed on children’s safety.B.More and more parents are becoming irresponsible.C.Children are no longer interested in outdoor activities.D.Parents are advised to spend more time with their children.46.Which of the following about intensive parenting style is TRUE?A.Chances are that this style could be changed.B.Financial pressure forces parents to be stricter.C.Rich families adopt such style to keep their advantages.D.Such style is largely influenced by the size of the family.47.What does the underlined sentence imply?A.Economists offer practical advice to guide parenting.B.A happy marriage secures children’s social positions.C.Unfair division of social resources drives parents mad.D.Parents are struggling for their children’s edge over peers.A.Parents are persuaded to give birth to babies in their later years.

Which of the following statements is True?A. Google was adopted because “googol” was not available then.B. Cadillac was named after the founding father of the company.C. Starbucks was used due to the co-founder’s love for his town.D. Hans Wilsdorf intended Rolex to be universally accepted.BIf you could travel back in time five centuries, you’d encounter a freshly painted “Mona Lisa” in Renaissance Europe and cooler temperatures across the Northern Hemisphere. This was a world in the midst of the Little Ice Age and a period of vast European exploration now known as the Age of Discovery.But what if we could look 500 years into the future and glimpse the Earth of the 26th century? Would the world seem as different to us as the 21st century would have seemed to residents of the 16th century? For starters, what will the weather be like?Depending on whom you ask, the 26th century will either be a little chilly or extremely hot. Some solar output models suggest that by the 2500s, Earth’s climate will have cooled back down to near Little Ice Age conditions. Other studies predict that ongoing climate change and fossil fuel use will leave much of the planet too hot for human life by 2300. Some experts date the beginning of human climate change back to the Industrial Revolution in the 1800s, others to slash-and-burn agricultural practices in prehistoric times. Either way, tool-wielding humans alter their environment ---and our 26th century tools might be quite impressive indeed.Theoretical physicist and futurist Michio Kaku predicts that in a mere 100 years, humanity will make the leap from a type zero civilization to a type I civilization on the Kardashev Scale. In other words, we’ll become a species that can use the entire sum of a planet’s energy, mastering clean energy technologies such as fusion and solar power. Furthermore, they’ll be able to handle planetary energy in order to control global climate.Technology has improved significantly since the 1500s, and this pace will likely continue in the centuries to come. Physicist Stephen Hawking proposes that by the year 2600, this growth would see 10 new theoretical physics papers published every 10 seconds. If Moore’s Law holds true and both computer speed and complexity double every 18 months, then some of these studies may be the work of highly intelligent machines.What other technologies will shape the world of the 26th century? Futurist and author Adrian Berry believes the average human life span will reach 140 years and that the digital storage of human personalities will enable a computerized state of living forever. Humans will farm the oceans, travel in starships and reside in both lunar and Martian colonies while robots explore the outer cosmos.58. Why does the author mention the Little Ice Age in the first paragraph?A. To show the severity of the current global warming.B. To stress the close connection with the current climate.C. To provide contrast to the prediction of future climate.D. To illustrate the importance of protecting the environment.59. The prediction that Earth will cool down is based on ________.A. changes in solar activityB. ongoing climate changeC. previous general assumptionsD. current consumption of fossil fuel60. What effect will the 26th century technologies have on human beings?A. Humans will suffer from severe global warming.B. Cyber technology helps human personalities survive.C. Humans needn't work with the application of robots.D. Highly intelligent machines will replace humans.CHow would you describe your style? Formal? Classical? Casual? Smart? First of all, what is style? Let's hear a few words of wisdom from the wise. "Style is knowing who you are and what you want to say," (Gore Vidal); "Style is an expression of individualism mixed with charm," (John Fairchild); "Style is the perfection of a point of view," (Robert Eberhart); "Style is a simple way of saying complicated things," (Jean Cocteau);“Style is the dress of thoughts," (Lord Chesterfield).So, now you know what style is, you'll need to buy some clothes. But where? In the UK, you can get really cheap, stylish, second-hand clothes at charity shops. They're great if you want exclusive labels but don't want to pay the price. The only difficulty is discovering where the reallygood bargains are. But don't worry, Leila Gray can help you here. She's the proud owner of a vintage Hardy Amies coat, picked up at a charity shop for £20---a good deal when you realize it cost more than £800 new." You have to go to the richer areas of a city," she says. "That's where all the labels are. It can take a bit of hunting around, but that is half the fun, and there's a lot of buried treasure just waiting to be discovered."So, now you know where to buy your new, stylish clothes, how do you acquire your style? Experts say that mixing and matching from charity shops can help you find your own style---something that's really you. That's what Scottish musician Momus did. "My fashion tip is this," he says, “look at yourself with the eye of a graphic designer. If you can't be attractive, aim for‘interesting’ or‘original’." Momus' unique style could even make him happier, too. As psychologist Marilyn Elias explains, the happiest people "judge themselves by their own yardsticks, never against what others do or have".Shoichi Aoki, the founder of Japanese street style magazine FRUiTS, agrees. “I think real fashion is what people wear on the streets, the clothes that they wear, the way that they wear them,” he says.“What you see in fashion magazines and on models has been styled and it’s more commercial.”He says that his inspiration for FRUiTS came from people combining traditional Japanese clothing such as the kimono and “geta” (Japanese wooden clogs) with Western fashion. “This really caught my eye,” Aoki adds. These styles may seem wild, but Aoki’s idea is not: be bold, be creative and find something that suits you.Maybe it’s time to create your own look. There are many online guides to help you. Perhaps the best advice comes from a website called wikiHow,“If you see something you like,”it says, “feel free to copy, but don’t make yourself a clone... mix it up and make it yours.” Think about it!61. What should you first do to choose the style that best suits you?。
