"In the TV business you see the best and the worst the world has to offer, and at some point, it just occurred to me: I just need to do something to make the world a better place," he explained.He now travels the world, volunteering his time to help others. "Here's the best part about a volunteer vacation. You're not stuck at a hotel doing tours that everyone else does," Germaise said. "You're meeting regular people, living with regular people and helping regular people all over the world. "Travel Writer Joe Miragliotta says that's exactly why more people are spending time volunteering on vacation. "Travelers, especially millennials (千禧一代) like myself, are becoming more socially conscious whenit comes to choosing where they go," Miragliotta said. "They want to connect with the communities and causes they really care about. "He recently took some time out of a trip to San Francisco to help out at a local farm. "Here, volunteers are growing healthy foods for the community, and they give it right back for free; and you know you can tend the vegetable gardens, help clean the orchard﹣lots of fun activities," Miragliotta explained.V olunteering doesn't take up your entire vacation. You can do it for a few hours or even a few days. It's all up to you. "With a kid…when you do something as simple as giving him or her a pencil when they never had a pencil for school, the look in their eyes is so unbelievable," Germaise said. "It's like they got an iPad for Christmas. It's the greatest feeling in the world."(1)What do vacations mean to Don Germaise?A.Having a rest and relaxing.B.Getting an opportunity to travel.C.Meeting and helping regular people.D.Reporting on what happens around the world.(2)According to Joe Miragliotta, young people .A.are becoming more socially consciousB.find it fun to help in vegetable gardensC.enjoy taking care of the children aroundD.are trying to learn more about other people(3)What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A.It only takes travelers a few hours to do volunteering.B.Finding a way to help the people in need is not easy.C.It is impossible for the kids to get an iPad for Christmas.D.Making a small difference to people's life is rewarding.(4)What's the passage mainly about?A.Millennials pay more attention to society.B.V olunteer vacation is becoming a new trend.C.Two travelers shared their experiences abroad.D.V olunteers enjoy popularity among local people.7.阅读理解Georiga O'Keeffe always thought of herself as an artist. By 1928, the rest of the world did, too. At the age of 41 she was living in New York City and becoming a well﹣known painter. Still, O'Keeffe wasn't happy. New York had been a good source of ideas for almost ten years. Now those ideas were drying up. O'Keeffe felt like she needed a change. She had visited New Mexico in 1917 with her sister. The wide open space had thrilled her. "Maybe I should go back," she thought. In April of 1929, O'Keeffe packed her bags.The wide open space of New Mexico drew O'Keeffe in. She spent hours just watching the sky change. Because the light was so clear, she felt like she could see for the first time. The beauty of the land renewed her. She couldn't wait to start painting. Cow and horse skulls and desert flowers filled her canvases (画布). The colors of the desert inspired O'Keeffe. As a result, she made new choices in her artwork. "The color up there is different," she explained. She loved the dusty blues and greens.That August, O'Keeffe went home to New York. It was the start of a pattern. Each spring, she traveled to New Mexico to paint. These trips restored her spirit. Then, in the fall, she would return to New York. There, she showed her work. Each time O'Keeffe visited New Mexico, she explored a little more.The bleached animal bones and skulls that O'Keeffe found excited her because she could see their special beauty. The bones didn't mean death to O'Keeffe. To her, they showed the lasting beauty of the desert. The landscapes, clear light, and bright colors also spoke to her. She often painted close﹣ups of the rocks and mountains. Later, she began to travel more in search of new ideas. However, she always came back to New Mexico.As O'Keeffe grew older, her eyesight began to fail. Still, O'Keeffe wasn't ready to give up. Her friend Juan Hamilton helped her work with watercolors. He also taught her to sculpt. As a result, she made art into her 90s. When she died at the age of 98, Hamilton sprinkled her ashes over the desert. Her body became part of the land that had touched her art and her life.(1)O'Keeffe was unhappy in New York in 1928 because .A.she was lack of the creative ideasB.she felt disappointed about her jobC.she was not successful as an artistD.she felt bored about life in a big city(2)After her trips to New Mexico, O'Keeffe .A.received great reputation thereB.discovered the meaning in her lifeC.chose to settle down in that countryD.got new thoughts from the scenery(3)What can we know about O'Keeffe from the passage?A.She was never afraid of failure and death.B.She was devoted and passionate about art.C.She was patient with the coming chances.D.She was curious about the nature of people.(4)Which of the following could be the best title for this article?A.Lifestyle in the Desert B.Special Love for ArtC.Inspiration from the Desert D.Modern Women Artists8.阅读理解"You'll get square eyes!" my mother used to say as I sat for hour after hour glued to the TV. I ignored her, of course. Past﹣forward a few decades and now I'm the parent. My 5﹣year﹣old lives in a world where screens aren't fixed pieces of furniture. You can't even avoid them by going outside. Screens are not only in our pockets; they're everywhere.The concerns have grown with the screens. In the past decade, we have heard that they will damage our mental health. Many of us feel more distracted by them, feeling guiltier and more tired as a result.The apps and websites we can access on our phones have also sparked widespread concern. Big tech companies are also good at making use of our need for social recognition, hooking us on likes, retweets and follower counts. Social media has created a culture of mass narcissism (自恋), which has led many to worry about the emotional stresses on teenagers. A quick online search brings up dozens of papers linking screen use or social media with harmful effects on mental health, including depression and suicide.Such statements are alarming. They are also widely believed, thanks to popular books like iGen by Jean Twenge, which claims that digital technology has ruined a generation. Yet, Amy Orben at the University of Oxford, who studies the impact of digital technology and social media in particular on mental health, holds different views. She claims that the underlying data can be used to tell different stories. She also spotted shortcomings in several large studies that claimed to show correlations (相关性) between the use of devices with screens and depression in users.Twenge stands by her own finding, pointing in turn to what she considers flaws in Orben's research methods. For David Max, at Royal College of Child Health in London, the effect of screen time and social media use on mental health remains speculative. "We cannot regard social media overall as good or bad," says Davie. "We don't know whether in individual cases social media is not responsible," he says.The explosion of mobile phone use has revolutionized our lives. I can download movies, write articles, communicate with my family and broadcast to the world all at the push of a button. Rather than impose constraints (限制), we should take a look at our use of screens and ask how they fit with the activities and lifestyle.Every new technology with widespread impact has given rise to new fears. So the best bet may simply be to ask yourself what level of screen use makes you and those around you happy and try to stick to it. If you find yourself over addictive, don't panic﹣and certainly don't feel guilty. Nobody knows anything worth getting scared about.(1)According to the passage, people give likes, retweet or count followers to .A.share one's lifestyles B.show respect for othersC.seek social recognition D.relieve emotional stresses(2)The underlined word "speculative" probably means " ".A.doubtful B.specific C.important D.abstract(3)What can be learned from the passage?A.Teenagers are more affected by screen use both physically and mentally.B.Orben claims it is far too early to blame screen use for ruining a generation.C.Big tech companies help to produce many research papers on mental health.D.Twenge mainly introduces the overall benefits of digital technology in her books.(4)The passage is written to .A.encourage readers to reduce the time of screen useB.share different opinions on the effects of screen useC.explain why screen use may have negative effects on peopleD.relieve people's concerns and worries about the use of screens1小题;每小题8分,共8分)9.阅读下面的短文,根据短文内容回答问题.Go, commonly known in China as weiqi, is a board game for two players that needs logical (逻辑的) strategies. To win, the player must use black and white playing pieces to surround more field than the other player. The game was invented in China more than 2,500 years ago. It enjoys a wide fan base, mostly in East Asia ﹣but it is becoming more popular in other areas of the world.Schreiber, vice chair of Berlin Go Association, was introduced to the game 16 years ago, but thought the game rather boring at first. Similarly, Urban, chair of Berlin Go Association, accidentally discovered a book on Go on his mother's bookshelf when he was 37 years old. "I tried to understand the rules because I love board games and I did not get it," added Urban. But they both found the game more and more interesting after practice. "It's like speaking to another but with your hands. You make a very direct message," explained Schreiber.Schreiber recommended children learn Go because he believed it could be beneficial for them. "They learn that there is always someone stronger and they learn that it's okay to lose. They learn how to improve from their mistakes and say tomorrow will be better than today," he explained.To the experienced players, Go can be very addictive, as it carries meanings not just in leisure, but also in culture. Many are too quick to judge other people's cultures. Confucius said, "Tell me, I'll forget;Show me, I may remember;Involve me, and I will understand. " With Go, people only get stronger if they play against different players. With culture, one need ot go and talk to people, even better if in their language. If you can't, maybe it's enough to use the Go board as the language.As cooperation between China and Germany deepens in many aspects of life, efforts have been made to further popularize Go in Europe. The European. Go Congress has been hosting annual competitions since 1983. Training courses are also offered, and professional players from China are invited to deliver lectures for game loves in Europe.(1)When was Go invented in China?(2)How did Schreiber and Urban feel about Go after practice?(3)Why did Schreiber recommend children learn Go?(4)What has happened as a cooperation between China and Germany deepens?答案解析部分1.【答案】sang;were joined;touching【知识点】语法填空【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了国庆70周年青少年唱起《我和我的祖国》,令人感动的一幕。

It often means choosing one from many possibilities. You should always remember that your spare time is very important. It’s the time to exercise our bodies and relax our brains from the work we do at school.Most of us have some sports we like to do — there are so many activities to select from. Sometimes what we decide to do depends on what the weather is lik e. For example, if it’s very cold outside and we don’t like ice skating or skiing, then we should try to find some indoor activities, such as playing basketball or training in the gym.Not all our activities have to be physical. Going to the movies, doing some reading and visiting a museum are helpful activities that don’t need a lot of physical movements. Besides, spending time with your friends is also a good way to relax and have fun at the same time.All in all, we should try to find a balance between work and play, so we don’t get bored with doing the same thing all the time. Enjoy being outdoors, enjoy being with friends, and enjoy reading something for fun. If we do these things, we’ll grow to be healthy both in our bodies and in our mind.评分标准:1. 单词拼写正确计1分,拼写不正确不得分;2. 每空只填写一个词,多于一个词不得分。

She had learned the sign language when she served as a volunteer in the deaf and mute(聋哑)school. Then she showed the woman the direction and left her email address to them in case they needed her help later.She received an email from that man the next day. Kazrim was his name. Galaxy replied his mail sincerely. They both started chatting online soon after and began seeing each other. Although they only communicated with the sign language, it never bothered her.Galaxy was fond of him gradually. Obviously, Kazrim was the same too. He presented Galaxy with a bunch of sunflowers and asked her sincerely, “Are you willing to be my girlfriend?” Galaxy was pleasantly surprised. She requested him to give her some time to persuade her parents.As she had expected, her parents were very angry after they had learned of their love story. Galaxy explained, “Kazrim is an excellent and a very optimistic person. He has a very positive attitude towards life and work. He cares for others always. He is 100%better than the normal. Moreover, the mute is still a human. He should possess a perfect and wonderful love. ”Her parents asked to see him, then. The very worried Galaxy took Kazrim home a few days later. When they were on the train, Kazrim told her, ‘‘I’m going to tell your parents I’ll be looking after you well with all my life!” Galaxy was deeply moved.As soon as they had entered the house, Galaxy introduced him to her parents. She said, ‘‘This is Kazrim.” Just rig ht after her speech, an unbelievable thing happened. Kazrim threw the gift away and held her in his arms tightly.He said, “YOU CAN TALK?” It was the same question that Galaxy wanted to ask, too.The four people were shocked all of a sudden.

Well, you can do that with model railroading. Yes, it’s true. You can learn about many school topics without using a school book. Besides that, there are many other benefits that model railroading brings us as well. In this article, we will discuss just a few of those benefits of model railroading.Patience and problem solving skillsWhen you build a model railroad, you have to plan your railroad out. You have to decide where the tracks (轨道) will go, where to put buildings, where to put streets and any other things you would like to add to your model railroad. Also, you have to think about any problems you may have with the design you choose. How will you make railroad crossings? How will you design hills, mountains, and rivers? Deciding on what to do with your model railroad takes a lot of thought and patience, but it is not as difficult as you may think.Building skillsWith model railroading, you learn how to put together plastic models of buildings. Also, you can learn how to build a table for your design, or make scenery for the geography of your design. Your model railroad runs on electricity, so you learn about electronics as well. These are skills that not only help you build a model railroad; these skills will help you all throughout life.Fun for family and friendsDifferent from many video games, model railroading is a social hobby that lets you communicate with family and friends. This is because you have to communicate with family and friends as you build and run your model railroad. By spending time with the people in your life you love and care about, you learn to become closer and care more for each other. This is one of the best parts of model railroading as a hobby. Of course, the best part about model railroading is running the trains. Watching the trains run around the track and make all the sounds and do all the things that real trains do gives people hours of enjoyment. Also, there is great satisfaction in the fact that you, your family, and your friends built the model railroad.I hope you can learn to enjoy model railroading and experience all the benefits you just read about and many others. Happy railroading!48.In order to build a model railroad, you have to be ________.A.skillful and confidentB.an electrical engineerC.thoughtful and patientD.an expert in geography49.What is the best part of model railroading?A.Running the trains.B.Planning out the railroad.C.Putting streets and buildings.D.Learning electronics and wiring.50.According to the author, model railroading is a social hobby, because ________.A.it encourages us to complete it on our ownB.it improves the problem solving skills and creativityC.it brings us hours of enjoyment and great satisfactionD.it offers us chances to communicate with family and friends51.Where can you probably find the article?A.In an official report.B.In a youth magazine.C.In a medical textbook.D.In a tourist guidebook.Are some people born clever, and others born stupid? Or is intelligence developed by our environment and our experiences? Strangely enough, the answer to both these questions is yes. To some degree our intelligence is given us at birth, and no amount of special education can make a genius out of a child born with low intelligence. On the other hand, a child who lives in a boring environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich and variedsurroundings. Thus the limits of a person's intelligence are fixed at birth, but whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment. This view, now held by most experts, can be supported in a number of ways.It is easy to show that intelligence is to some degree something we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are likely to be in intelligence. Thus if we take two unrelated people at random(随机地) from the population, it is likely that their degrees of intelligence will be completely different. If on the other hand we take two identical (完全相同的) twins they will very likely be as intelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters, parents and children, usually have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth.Imagine now that we take two identical twins and put them in different environments. We might send one, for example, to a university and the other to a factory where the work is boring. We would soon find differences in intelligence developing, and this indicates that environment as well as birth plays a part. This conclusion is also suggested by the fact that people who live in close contact with each other, but who are not related at all, are likely to have similar degrees of intelligence.52.Which of these sentences best describes the writer’s point in Para. 1?A.To some degree, intelligence is given at birth.B.Intelligence is developed by the environment.C.Some people are born clever and others born stupid.D.Intelligence is fixed at birth, but is developed by the environment.53.It is suggested in this passage that_______.of intelligenceA.unrelated people are not likely to have different intelligenceB.close relations usually have similar intelligenceC.the closer the blood relationship between people, the more different they are likely to be in intelligenceD.people who live in close contact with each other are not likely to have similar degrees54.In Para. 1, the word "surroundings" means_______.A.intelligence B.life C.environments D.housing55.The best title for this article would be_______.A.On Intelligence B.What Intelligence MeansC.We are Born with Intelligence D.Environment Plays a Part in Developing Intelligence 四、七选五How to Beat the Procrastination HabitI am a procrastinator (拖延症患者). I always have been. I've tried all sorts of things to beat the habit. Here are some techniques I've been using:Set aside blocks of time to do things.When I was talking with my wellness (健身) coach earlier this year, she asked me why I didn't exercise more often. " 56.," I said. "Something always comes up." She wasn't impressed. "J.D.," she said, "You have to make time. Make an appointment with yourself to run or to go for a bike ride." The same principle applies to other things you might procrastinate.57.. Often I'll be sitting on the back porch reading a book, and it will occur to me that some chore needs to be done -mending the fence, for example. "58.," I tell myself. Wrong! What usually happens is that I forget to write it down, and even if I do, I just look at the list and procrastinate for weeks on end. Thebest move is to actually do the chore when I think of it. (Assuming, of course, that I have the time at that moment, which I usually do.)Use a timer to bring you back to reality.Part of the reason I procrastinate is that I'm a daydreamer. 59.. One way to keep on track is to use a timer. I use the Ultrak Jumbo Countdown Timer, but not as often as I should. I set it for 48 minutes. When it goes off, 60.:Am I doing what I'm supposed to be doing?Do not multitask.I often start many things at once, but I never actually do any of them. In order for me to get something done, I need to focus my attention on it. Trying to do several things at once is a sure way to be sure they'll all be unfinished tomorrow.A.I'm always lost in thoughtB.it brings me back to realityC.If it comes to mind, then do itD.I don't have the timeE. it serves as an instant reality checkF. Do it right away if you are asked to do somethingG. I need to write that down so I can remember it第II卷(非选择题)五、用适当的词完成句子根据句意,选择适当的词并用其正确的形式填空,有两个词为多余选项。

北京市海淀区2019-2020学年高一上学期期末考试英语试题第I卷(选择题)一、完形填空Table TalkAs we got out of the car, our son announced, “Phones stay in the car.”“Why do you always have to tell us that?” complained our fifteen-year-old grandson.Our son’s wife winked at us and then explained, “We have a family 1 that no one may bring anything electronic to the table.”We 2 our phones in the car. Even though the restaurant was filled with families, there was little noise. All I heard were a few quiet conversations and the ding of forks on plates. The 3 unnerved me. I looked around. Everyone, even the young kids, was 4 at some kind of screen.The silence was broken 5 the six of us sat down, and started talking. The waitress stood patiently and waited for our orders. When our food came, we continued to chat.An elderly couple at the next table were finishing their dinners and conversing quietly. I noticed that they shot us a few glances, and 6 if our constant chatter was annoying them.After the dessert, my son signaled the waitress for the check. She hesitated when she brought the black folder to our table. My son opened the black folder—it was 7 . “You forgot the check,” he told her.“There isn’t one. Someone e lse 8 your bill—and the tip too.” she said with a giggle (咯咯笑).“Why?” asked our son, his wife and myself at once.“They loved it that no one was connected,” she continued. “They loved watching you guys 9 . The old lady went on and on about how nice it was to see a family eating and talking instead of looking at ‘electric games’.”For a moment, everyone at our table was at a loss for 10 . Then we all started talking at once. My son’s voice rose above the others. “Where are they? We want to t hankthem.”“They left after you ordered dessert,” the waitress replied.We spent the next fifteen minutes discussing this goodness and camp up with a 11 . Next time we see a family eating at a restaurant 12 looking at anything electronic, we’ll pay it forward, just like what happened to us.1.A.rule B.appointment C.discussion D.goal 2.A.closed B.returned C.sent D.locked 3.A.sweetness B.quietness C.patience D.preference 4.A.smiling B.knocking C.staring D.pointing 5.A.though B.before C.when D.until 6.A.realized B.wondered C.asked D.hesitated 7.A.special B.strange C.typical D.empty 8.A.paid B.served C.managed D.changed 9.A.eat B.talk C.argue D.work 10.A.directions B.choices C.words D.ideas 11.A.schedule B.message C.task D.plan 12.A.without B.by C.through D.for二、阅读理解A vacation often means rest and relaxation, but more and more people are looking at traveling as an opportunity to help others and give back.Don Germaise is a familiar face to many in Tampa Bay, but this former TV reporter’s life has changed a bit. “In the TV business you see the best and the worst the world has to offer, and at some point, it just occurred to me: I just need to do something to make the world a better place,” he expl ained.He now travels the world, volunteering his time to help others. “Here’s the best part abouta volunteer vacation. You’re not stuck at a hotel doing tours that everyone else does,” Germaise said. “You’re meeting regular people, living with regular pe ople and helping regular people all over the world.”Travel Writer Joe Miragliotta says that’s exactly why more people are spending time volunteering on vacation. “Travelers, especially millennials (千禧一代) like myself, are becoming more socially conscious w hen it comes to choosing where they go,” Miragliotta said. “They want to connect with the communities and causes they really care about.”He recently took some time out of a trip to San Francisco to help out at a local farm. “Here, volunteers are growing healthy foods for the community, and they give it right back for free; and you know you can tend the vegetable gardens, help clean the orchard—lots of fun activities,” Miragliotta explained.V olunteering doesn’t take up your entire vacation. You can do it f or a few hours or even a few days. It’s all up to you. “With a kid...when you do something as simple as giving him or her a pencil when they never had a pencil for school, the look in their eyes is so unbelievable,” Germaise said. “It’s like they got an iPad for Christmas. It’s the greatest feeling in the world.”13.What do vacations mean to Don Germaise?A.Having a rest and relaxing. B.Getting an opportunity to travel. C.Meeting and helping regular people. D.Reporting on what happens around the world.14.According to Joe Miragliotta, young people __________.A.are becoming more socially conscious B.find it fun to help in vegetable gardens C.enjoy taking care of the children around D.are trying to learn more about other people15.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A.It only takes travelers a few hours to do volunteering.B.Finding a way to help the people in need is not easy.C.It is impossible for the kids to get an iPad for Christmas.D.Making a small difference to people’s life is rewarding.16.What’s the passage mainly about?A.Millennials pay more attention to society.B.V olunteer vacation is becoming a new trend.C.Two travelers shared their experiences abroad.D.V olunteers enjoy popularity among local people.Georiga O’Keeffe always thought of herself as an artist. By 1928, the rest of the world did, too. At the age of 41 she was living in New York City and becoming a well-known painter. Still, O’Keeffe wasn’t happy. New York had been a good source of ideas for almost ten years. Now t hose ideas were drying up. O’Keeffe felt like she needed a change. She had visited New Mexico in 1917 with her sister. The wide open space had thrilled her. “Maybe I should go back,” she thought. In April of 1929, O’Keeffe packed her bags.The wide open space of New Mexico drew O’Keeffe in. She spent hours just watching the sky change. Because the light was so clear, she felt like she could see for the first time. The beauty of the land renewed her. She couldn’t wait to start painting. Cow and horse skull s and desert flowers filled her canvases (画布). The colors of the desert inspired O’Keeffe. As a result, she made new choices in her artwork. “The color up there is different,” she explained. She loved the dusty blues and greens.That August, O’Keeffe went home to New York. It was the start of a pattern. Each spring, she traveled to New Mexico to paint. These trips restored her spirit. Then, in the fall, she would return to New York. There, she showed her work. Each time O’Keeffe visited New Mexico, she explored a little more.The bleached animal bones and skulls that O’Keeffe found excited her because she could see their special beauty. The bones didn’t mean death to O’Keeffe. To her, they showed the lasting beauty of the desert. The landscapes, clear light, and bright colors also spoke to her. She often painted close-ups of the rocks and mountains. Later, she began to travel more in search of new ideas. However, she always came back to New Mexico.As O’Keeffe grew older, her eyesight began to fail. Still, O’Keeffe wasn’t ready to give up. Her friend Juan Hamilton helped her work with watercolors. He also taught her to sculpt. As a result, she made art into her 90s. When she died at the age of 98, Hamilton sprinkled her ashes over the desert. Her body became part of the land that had touched her art and her life. 17.O’Keeffe was unhappy in New York in 1928 because __________.A.she was lack of the creative ideas B.she felt disappointed about her job C.she was not successful as an artist D.she felt bored about life in a big city 18.After her trips to New Mexico, O’Keeffe __________.A.received great reputation there B.discovered the meaning in her life C.chose to settle down in that country D.got new thoughts from the scenery 19.What can we know about O’Keeffe f rom the passage?A.She was never afraid of failure and death. B.She was devoted and passionate about art. C.She was patient with the coming chances. D.She was curious about the nature of people.20.Which of the following could be the best title for this article?A.Lifestyle in the Desert B.Special Love for ArtC.Inspiration from the Desert D.Modern Women Artists“You’ll get square eyes!” my mother used to say as I sat for hour after hour glued to the TV. I ignored her, of course. Past-forward a few dec ades and now I’m the parent. My5-year-old lives in a world where screens aren’t fixed pieces of furniture. You can’t even avoid them by going outside. Screens are not only in our pockets; they’re everywhere.The concerns have grown with the screens. In the past decade, we have heard that they will damage our mental health. Many of us feel more distracted by them, feeling guiltier and more tired as a result.The apps and websites we can access on our phones have also sparked widespread concern. Big tech companies are also good at making use of our need for social recognition, hooking us on likes, retweets and follower counts. Social media has created a culture of mass narcissism (自恋), which has led many to worry about the emotional stresses on teenagers. A quick online search brings up dozens of papers linking screen use or social media with harmful effects on mental health, including depression and suicide.Such statements are alarming. They are also widely believed, thanks to popular books like iGen by Jean Twenge, which claims that digital technology has ruined a generation. Yet, Amy Orben at the University of Oxford, who studies the impact of digital technology and social media in particular on mental health, holds different views. She claims that the underlying data can be used to tell different stories. She also spotted shortcomings in several large studies that claimed to show correlations (相关性) between the use of devices with screens and depressionin users.Twenge stands by her own finding, pointing in turn to what she considers flaws in Orben’s research methods. For David Max, at Royal College of Child Health in London, the effect of screen time and social media use on mental health remains speculative. “We cannot regard social media overall as good or bad,” says Davie. “We don’t know whether in individual cases social media is not responsible,” he says.The explosion of mobile phone use has revolutionized our lives. I can download movies, write articles, communicate with my family and broadcast to the world all at the push of a button. Rather than impose constraints (限制), we should take a look at our use of screens and ask how they fit with the activities and lifestyle.Every new technology with widespread impact has given rise to new fears. So the best bet may simply be to ask yourself what level of screen use makes you and those around you happy and try to stick to it. If you find yourself over addictive, don’t panic—and certainly don’t feel guilty. Nobody knows anything worth getting scared about.21.According to the passage, people give likes, retweet or count followers to __________. A.share one’s lifestyles B.show respect for othersC.seek social recognition D.relieve emotional stresses22.The underlined word “speculative” probably means “__________”.A.doubtful B.specificC.important D.abstract23.What can be learned from the passage?A.Teenagers are more affected by screen use both physically and mentally.B.Orben claims it is far too early to blame screen use for ruining a generation.C.Big tech companies help to produce many research papers on mental health. D.Twenge mainly introduces the overall benefits of digital technology in her books. 24.The passage is written to __________.A.encourage readers to reduce the time of screen useB.share different opinions on the effects of screen useC.explain why screen use may have negative effects on peopleD.relieve people’s concerns and worries about the use of screens第II卷(非选择题)三、语法填空阅读下列短文,根据短文内容填空,在未给提示词的空白处仅填写1个适当的单词,在给出提示词的空白处用括号内所给词的正确形式填空。

help others and give back.Don Germaise is a familiar face to many in Tampa Bay,but this former TV reporter's life has changed a bit."In the TV business you see the best and the worst the world has to offer,and at some point,it just occurred to me:I just need to do something to make the world a better place," he explained.He now travels the world,volunteering his time to help others."Here's the best part about a volunteer vacation.You're not stuck at a hotel doing tours that everyone else does," Germaise said."You're meeting regular people,living with regular people and helping regular people all over the world."Travel Writer Joe Miragliotta says that's exactly why more people are spending time volunteering on vacation."Travelers,especially millennials (千禧一代)like myself,are becoming more socially conscious when it comes to choosing where they go," Miragliotta said."They want to connect with the communities and causes they really care about."He recently took some time out of a trip to San Francisco to help out at a local farm."Here,volunteers are growing healthy foods for the community,and they give it right back for free;and you know you can tend the vegetable gardens,help clean the orchard﹣lots of fun activities," Miragliotta explained.V olunteering doesn't take up your entire vacation.You can do it for a few hours or even a few days.It's all up to you."With a kid…when you do something as simple as giving him or her a pencil when they never had a pencil for school,the look in their eyes is so unbelievable," Germaise said."It's like they got an iPad for Christmas.It's the greatest feeling in the world."(1)What do vacations mean to Don Germaise?A.Having a rest and relaxing.B.Getting an opportunity to travel.C.Meeting and helping regular people.D.Reporting on what happens around the world.(2)According to Joe Miragliotta,young people.A.are becoming more socially consciousB.find it fun to help in vegetable gardensC.enjoy taking care of the children aroundD.are trying to learn more about other people(3)What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A.It only takes travelers a few hours to do volunteering.B.Finding a way to help the people in need is not easy.C.It is impossible for the kids to get an iPad for Christmas.D.Making a small difference to people's life is rewarding.(4)What's the passage mainly about?A.Millennials pay more attention to society.B.V olunteer vacation is becoming a new trend.C.Two travelers shared their experiences abroad.D.V olunteers enjoy popularity among local people.17.(8分)Georiga O'Keeffe always thought of herself as an artist.By 1928,the rest of the world did,too.At the age of 41 she was living in New York City and becoming a well﹣known painter.Still,O'Keeffe wasn't happy.New York had been a good source of ideas for almost ten years.Now those ideas were drying up.O'Keeffe felt like she needed a change.She had visited New Mexico in 1917 with her sister.The wide open space had thrilled her."Maybe I should go back," she thought.In April of 1929,O'Keeffe packed her bags.The wide open space of New Mexico drew O'Keeffe in.She spent hours just watching the sky change.Because the light was so clear,she felt like she could see for the first time.The beauty of the land renewed her.She couldn't wait to start painting.Cow and horse skulls and desert flowers filled her canvases (画布).The colors of the desert inspired O'Keeffe.As a result,she made new choices in her artwork."The color up there is different," she explained.She loved the dusty blues and greens.That August,O'Keeffe went home to New York.It was the start of a pattern.Each spring,she traveled to New Mexico to paint.These trips restored her spirit.Then,in the fall,she would return to New York.There,she showed her work.Each time O'Keeffe visited New Mexico,she explored a little more.The bleached animal bones and skulls that O'Keeffe found excited her because she could see their special beauty.The bones didn't mean death to O'Keeffe.To her,they showed the lasting beauty of the desert.The landscapes,clear light,and bright colors also spoke to her.She often painted close﹣ups of the rocks and mountains.Later,she began to travel more in search of new ideas.However,she always came back to New Mexico.As O'Keeffe grew older,her eyesight began to fail.Still,O'Keeffe wasn't ready to give up.Her friend Juan Hamilton helped her work with watercolors.He also taught her to sculpt.As a result,she made art into her 90s.When she died at the age of 98,Hamilton sprinkled her ashes over the desert.Her body became part of the land that had touched her art and her life.(1)O'Keeffe was unhappy in New York in 1928 because.A.she was lack of the creative ideasB.she felt disappointed about her jobC.she was not successful as an artistD.she felt bored about life in a big city(2)After her trips to New Mexico,O'Keeffe.A.received great reputation thereB.discovered the meaning in her lifeC.chose to settle down in that countryD.got new thoughts from the scenery(3)What can we know about O'Keeffe from the passage?A.She was never afraid of failure and death.B.She was devoted and passionate about art.C.She was patient with the coming chances.D.She was curious about the nature of people.(4)Which of the following could be the best title for this article?A.Lifestyle in the DesertB.Special Love for ArtC.Inspiration from the DesertD.Modern Women Artists18.(8分)"You'll get square eyes!" my mother used to say as I sat for hour after hour glued to the TV.I ignored her,of course.Past﹣forward a few decades and now I'm the parent.My 5﹣year﹣old lives in a world where screens aren't fixed pieces of furniture.You can't even avoid them by going outside.Screens are not only in our pockets;they're everywhere.The concerns have grown with the screens.In the past decade,we have heard that they will damage our mental health.Many of us feel more distracted by them,feeling guiltier and more tired as a result.The apps and websites we can access on our phones have also sparked widespread concern.Big tech companies are also good at making use of our need for social recognition,hooking us on likes,retweets and follower counts.Social media has created a culture of mass narcissism (自恋),which has led many to worry about the emotional stresses on teenagers.A quick online search brings up dozens of papers linking screen use orsocial media with harmful effects on mental health,including depression and suicide.Such statements are alarming.They are also widely believed,thanks to popular books like iGen by Jean Twenge,which claims that digital technology has ruined a generation.Yet,Amy Orben at the University of Oxford,who studies the impact of digital technology and social media in particular on mental health,holds different views.She claims that the underlying data can be used to tell different stories.She also spotted shortcomings in several large studies that claimed to show correlations (相关性)between the use of devices with screens and depression in users.Twenge stands by her own finding,pointing in turn to what she considers flaws in Orben's research methods.For David Max,at Royal College of Child Health in London,the effect of screen time and social media use on mental health remains speculative."We cannot regard social media overall as good or bad," says Davie."We don't know whether in individual cases social media is not responsible," he says.The explosion of mobile phone use has revolutionized our lives.I can download movies,write articles,communicate with my family and broadcast to the world all at the push of a button.Rather than impose constraints (限制),we should take a look at our use of screens and ask how they fit with the activities and lifestyle.Every new technology with widespread impact has given rise to new fears.So the best bet may simply be to ask yourself what level of screen use makes you and those around you happy and try to stick to it.If you find yourself over addictive,don't panic﹣and certainly don't feel guilty.Nobody knows anything worth getting scared about.(1)According to the passage,people give likes,retweet or count followers to.A.share one's lifestylesB.show respect for othersC.seek social recognitionD.relieve emotional stresses(2)The underlined word " speculative " probably means "".A.doubtfulB.specificC.importantD.abstract(3)What can be learned from the passage?A.Teenagers are more affected by screen use both physically and mentally.B.Orben claims it is far too early to blame screen use for ruining a generation.C.Big tech companies help to produce many research papers on mental health.D.Twenge mainly introduces the overall benefits of digital technology in her books.(4)The passage is written to.A.encourage readers to reduce the time of screen useB.share different opinions on the effects of screen useC.explain why screen use may have negative effects on peopleD.relieve people's concerns and worries about the use of screens第二节阅读回答问题(共1小题;每小题8分,共8分)阅读下面的短文,根据短文内容回答问题.19.(8分)Go,commonly known in China as weiqi,is a board game for two players that needs logical (逻辑的)strategies.To win,the player must use black and white playing pieces to surround more field than the other player.The game was invented in China more than 2,500 years ago.It enjoys a wide fan base,mostly in East Asia﹣but it is becoming more popular in other areas of the world.Schreiber,vice chair of Berlin Go Association,was introduced to the game 16 years ago,but thought the game rather boring at first.Similarly,Urban,chair of Berlin Go Association,accidentally discovered a book on Go on his mother's bookshelf when he was 37 years old."I tried to understand the rules because I love board games and I did not get it," added Urban.But they both found the game more and more interesting after practice."It's like speaking to another but with your hands.You make a very direct message," explained Schreiber.Schreiber recommended children learn Go because he believed it could be beneficial for them."They learn that there is always someone stronger and they learn that it's okay to lose.They learn how to improve from their mistakes and say tomorrow will be better than today," he explained.To the experienced players,Go can be very addictive,as it carries meanings not just in leisure,but also in culture.Many are too quick to judge other people's cultures.Confucius said,"Tell me,I'll forget;Show me,I may remember;Involve me,and I will understand." With Go,people only get stronger if they play againstdifferent players.With culture,one need ot go and talk to people,even better if in their language.If you can't,maybe it's enough to use the Go board as the language.As cooperation between China and Germany deepens in many aspects of life,efforts have been made to further popularize Go in Europe.The European.Go Congress has been hosting annual competitions since 1983.Training courses are also offered,and professional players from China are invited to deliver lectures for game loves in Europe.(1)When was Go invented in China?(2)How did Schreiber and Urban feel about Go after practice?(3)Why did Schreiber recommend children learn Go?(4)What has happened as a cooperation between China and Germany deepens?参考答案第一部分:听力理解(共三节,20分)第一节(共5小题;每小题1分,共5分)听下面5段对话.每段对话后有一道小题,从每题所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项.听完每段对话后,你将有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题.每段对话你将听一遍.1.【分析】略【解答】B【点评】略2.【分析】略【解答】C【点评】略3.【分析】略【解答】A【点评】略4.5.【分析】略【解答】A【点评】略第二节(共4小题;每小题2分,共10分)听下面4段对话.每段对话后有几道小题,从每题所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项.听每段对话前,你将有5秒钟的时间阅读每小题.听完后,每小题将给出5秒钟的作答时间.每段对话你将听两遍.6.【分析】略【解答】BC【点评】略7.【分析】略【解答】CA【点评】略8.【分析】略【解答】BAC【点评】略9.【分析】略【解答】ABC【点评】略第三节(共1小题;每小题5分,共5分)听下面一段独白,完成第16至20五道小题,每小题仅填写一个词.听独白前,你将有20秒钟的时间阅读试题,听完后你将有60秒钟的作答时间.这段独白你将听两遍.10.【分析】略【解答】(1)north

Some days, it makes me want to cry. Other days, I feel a sense of expectation within me just thinking about fall that makes me want to burst. Tonight, all five of us were in the family room doing our own things.At this moment, my littlest kid is my number one trouble and my number one joy. He has a tooth on the way and although it 's such a tiny thing, it 's causing so much gmrieaf.loI t and I ' m'nmothgooldiningg hito lie. I live for his afternoon nap (小睡) so I' m able to actually get dressed and use the restroom.The big E is starting school soon. The other day, I found myself a bit depressed about the end of summer and the beginning of another school year. I looked out of our front window with eyes that were heavy and a bit teary. Then, I suddenly realized just how silly this end of summer depression of mine is. I can ' thcange time. But, I can change my emotions and my thoughts. I decided not to spend my final days of summer vacation walking around with a sad face. I decided to hug the last few days of summer and remind myself that before I know it, we will be back in our school routine and all will go well.This week we plan on meeting teachers. I 'y gmirlttaokihnagvme her nails done before her first day of kindergarten. We want to bake a few dozen cookies.

How will the author spend the final days of the summer vacation?A. Live a simple life.B. Stay at home and relax herself.C. Treasure the vacation.D. Walk around with a depressed face.58. From the passage, we can learn that the author ________ .A. is fond of reading novelsB. has two annoying childrenC. often takes evening walksD. has no time to get dressed B Ever walked to the shops only to find, once there, you ' ve completely forgotten what you went for? Or struggled to remember the name of an old friend? For years we 've accepted that a forgetful brain is as much a part of ageing as wrinkles and grey hair. But now a new book suggests that we ' ve got it all wrong. According to The Secret Life of the Grown-up Brain, by science writer Barbara Strauch, when it comes to the important things, our brains actually get better with age. In fact, she argues that some studies have found that our brain hits its peak betwee n our 40s and 60s -much later tha n previously thought.Furthermore, rather than losing many brain cells as we age, we retain them, and even produce new ones well into middle age. For years it 's been assumed that braminu,ch like the body, declines with age. But the longest, largest study into what happens to people as they age suggests otherwise.This continuing research has followed 6,000 people since 1956, testing them every seven years. It has• 3 •found that on average, participants performed better on cognitive ( 认知的) tests in their 40s and 50s than they had done in their 20s. Specifically, order people did better on tests of vocabulary, verbal memory (how many words you can remember) and problem solving.Where they performed less well was nu mber ability and perceptual speed -how fast you can push a butt on when ordered. However, with more complex tasks such as problem-solving and language, we are at our best at middle age and beyond. In short, researchers are now coming up with scientific proof that we do get wiser with age.Neuroscientists are also finding that we are happier with ageing. A recent US study found older people were much better at controlling and balancing their emotions. It is thought that when we' reyounger we need to focus more on the negative aspects of life in order to learn about the possible dangers in the world, but as we get older we 'rnevde oleuar lessons and are sub-consciously aware that we have less time left in life: therefore, it becomes more important for us to be happy.59. Barbara Strauch probably agrees that ________ .A. the young are better at handling important thingsB. people 's brains work best between their 40s and 60sC. ageing leads to the decline of the function of the brainD. wrinkles and grey hair are the only symbols of ageing60. The continuing research has found older people perform better on ________ .A. vocabulary testsB. number abilityC. perceptual speedD. body balance61. People are happier with age because ________ .A. they learn to value the time leftB. they know how to share feelingsC. they cannot focus on negative aspectsD. they do not realize the possible dangers62. What is the main idea of the passage?A. People get wiser with age.B. People get more forgetful with age.C. People get happier with age.D. People get more self-aware with age.CEveryone procrastinates. We put things off because we don 't want to do them, or because we have too many other things on our plates. Putting things off - big or small - is part of being human. But procrastination does have consequences. When your procrastination leaves you feeling discouraged, it is time to take action, and one of the best ways to get rid of it is to make an un-scheduled.An un-schedule is a weekly calendar of all the ways in which your time is already accounted for. You consider not only your timed commitments such as classes and meetings, but also your untimed activities such as meals, exercise, time with friends, and the like. Once you have made your un-schedule, you may be able to see your time is often filled with more activities than you realize, for instanc e, that you really don ' t have five hours to spend writing on the night before your paper i s due. Procrastinators o'ftivmi e wtesnd tobe unrealistic, and the un-schedule can help you outline a realistic plan. By planning accordingly, youwill not only get a better ni ght's sleep, you may also enudp with a better paper.The un-schedule might also be a good way to get started on a larger project, such as a term paper or an honors paper. You may think that you h ave “all semester ” to wgrei t inthgedone, but if you really map out how much time you have available to write on a daily and weekly basis, you will see that you need to get started sooner, rather than later. In addition, the un-schedule may reveal especially busy weeks or months, which will help you budget time for long-term projects.• 4 •Perhaps most importantly, the un-schedule can help you examine how you spend your time. You may be surprised at how much time you spend watching television, and decide to make a change. It 'e s pecially important that you build time for fun activities into your un-schedule. Otherwise, you will procrastinate in order to steal time for relaxation.You can also use the un-schedule to record your progress towards your goal. Reward yourself for your small successes.Seeing what you 've acllhhieevlpedyowui reinforce (强化) the productive behavior, andyou will feel more motivated in the following process.As you explore ways to conquer procrastination, don 't expect overnight transformation. You developed the habit over a lon g time; you aren 't goingmsatogpically. But you can change the behavior, bit by bit. Ifyou start to make an un-schedule now, you will eventually develop new habits.63. From Paragraph 2, we can know that procrastinators ________ .A. usually have sleeping problemsB. tend to be unrealistic in daily lifeC. spend more time in doing exerciseD. often fail to notice untimed activities64. Which of the following statements best reflects an un-schedule?A. “Now I have more time for fun.B. “”I can start mbyig project later. ”C. “I 'trellat myself to a movie for my progress. ”D. “I 'gmoing to have more time to finish my paper. ”65. According to the writer, people need to make an un-schedule because of their ___________ .A. interests in doing things differentlyB. determination to try out new thingsC. inability to manage time properlyD. lack of concentration on a project66. The author writes the passage to _______ .A. show concernsB. offer suggestionsC. express dissatisfactionD. make commentsDI wish documentaries, not movies. I read history books, not fiction. I use every free moment to accomplish one of the tasks on my never-ending checklist, and I am completely filled with thoughts of productivity. An hour sleeping is an hour wasted. And like the rest of 21st century America, I like it. Butthis fixation on productivity is increasingly destroying character and transforming men into robots.New York Times columnist David Brooks warned American University students of this cultural decline in a speech. “We cut off all things spiritual and emotional incaompetitive urge to stand out ”, he said, “The pressure to succeed professionally, to acquire skills, to do the things you need to do to succeed in an information age economy really became the overwhelming (难以应付的) pressure, and it sort of eclipses the thinking about character and morality.Many students happily go to college, viewing it as a next step on their rise to professional achievement. Forcing as many success-building activities into their schedules as they can, they enjoy keeping busy with little sleep. “ Today ' s outstkainddsinagre likely to spend their afternoons an d weekends shuttling fromone skill- improving activity to the next, ” Brooks wrote in an article, e more“thaWnewf e adrefsaiirleur success. ”A century ago, college was about character building. Today, our characters are in decline. We are experts on economics, material things and professional skills. We fail to discuss and understand relationships, emotions and all things spiritual. Philosophers Karl Popper divided the world into two categories: Clocks and Clouds. Clock problems are those that can be taken apart, examined and solved through deductive reasoning (演绎推理). Clouds cannot be taken apart. Cloud problems represent whole systems that need to• 5 •be understood in a different way.“ Whenwe have a Cloud problem, we try to turn into a Clock problem, ”Brooks said. And in a reason-centered culture, adding titles to one 's resume becomes a trend. AAt merican University, 85 percent of seniors (and 89 percent of business majors) graduate with at least one practical experience which is often helpful to a student ' s future career, but can sometimes draw focus away from academics.To prevent the death of man a'ctesr,cBharoroks urges rediscovering our human natures through fallingin love. And by love he means love for a task, job, or another person. “ Synchronicity is key to happiness, he said. Rather than crazily increasing our long lists of accomplishments, we need to lose ourselves in what we do, and success will come on its own.67. From Paragraph 1, we can learn that people ________ .A. are controlled by timeB. are keen on reading booksC. are changing their charactersD. are eager to achieve more68. In Paragraph 2, the underlined word “ eclipses ” means _____________________ .A. deletesB. weakensC. worsensD. emphasizes69. The last paragraph mainly tells us that ________ .A. love is more important than focusB. the focus on human natures countsC. more work contributes to happinessD. success comes from devotion to work.70. The purpose of this passage is to ________ .A. bring awareness to character buildingB. stress the importance of productivityC. warn about the pressure to seek successD. criticize students ' desire for achievements 七选五Weighing the OptionsMaking decisions when shopping is often a tough call. Even if you 're satisfied wthiteh first dress you try on, would you go on looking for alternatives, comparing styles and prices, until literally dropped dead?Psychology researchers have studied how people make decisions and concluded there are two basic styles.“ Maximizes ” like to take the i mte and weigh a wide range of options, -sometimes every possible one —before choosing. “Satisficers ” would ratfhaesrt bthean thorough._________ (71) So even if they see what would seem to meet their requirements, they can'mt ake a decision until after they _______ 'veeveexraymoinpetiodn to make sure that they 're making the best possible choice.Researchers followed 548 job-seeking college seniors at 11 schools from October through their graduation in June. They found that the maximizers landed better jobs. _______________________ (72)“The maximizers is kicking himself because he can t examine ever'yoption and at some point had to just pick something, ”they say. “Maximizers make best decisions and end up feeling bad about them.Satisficers also have high standards, but they are happier than maximizers. Maximizers tend to be more depressed and to report a lower satisfaction with life, his research found.Faced with so many choices in our lives, we need to learn how not to waste time and energy on our decision-making._________ (74) For instance, if you 're pickrinagntaforreslutanuch meeting, first deciding on a certain part of town or type of cuisine can narrow your options.Once you've arrived at a decision, stick with it. __________ (75) To limit the number of options you canset a time for decision-making. Say you are buying a new bag, you could spend an amount of time studying features, price and value -but if you give yourself only five minutes to make a decision, and there are only• 6 •bags you can consider, you' II save time. You ' II be happier with your decision, too.A. Maximizers are people who want the best.B. First of all, decrease your range of opti ons.C. Comparing is often a must when you make a decision.D. Just accept that no decisi on is ever completely perfect.E. Satisficers make good decisions and end up feeling good.F. The other is to make decisi ons more accurately at the beg inning.G.

第I 卷(选择题)一、完形填空As a teenager, I was pretty lazy when it came to doing things for my family. I worked hard at school, and sometimes looked after my younger sister. Still, I found myself regularly resisting the urge to 1 out at home with even the simplest things.Every Wednesday afternoon, for example, my mother 2 me to another town for a piano lesson. During my two-hour lesson, she'd rush to the nearby store and buy a week's worth of 3 . Given the fact that my mom had driven me twelve miles there, twelve miles back, 4 for my lesson, and bought me a candy bar, you'd think I'd be very 5 to help her bring the groceries into the house. 6 I wasn't. I generally just brought in an armload and left the 7 for Mom as I ran to my room, shut the door, and started studying.Don't get me wrong: even back in my room, I felt 8 about not helping my mother more. Deep inside, I wanted to change my 9 But I also realized that once I did change, there'd be no going back. 10 I took on more responsibility, my parents would start 11 more of me. At age fifteen, I sensed that this one small change would 12 something much bigger: my personal change from a cared-for, spoiled (被宠坏的) child to a more 13 caring and giving young man.I'll never forget the Wednesday when I made a(n) 14 to jump in and see what happened. Returning home from the 15 I disappeared into my room, as usual. But once inside, I felt that deep and burning 16 .Throwing my school books on the bed, I suddenly opened my door and 17 back tothe garage to help my mother. How happy I felt that day!Surely, over time, I continued to help out with more housework. The neat thing was, the more I helped out, the 18 I felt about myself and my place in my family. As Mom and Dad realized they could 19on me more, our trips became far less stressful, too. In short, it was a win-win situation for everyone.Sometimes the little things we put off doing the longest 20 out to be the simplest things to complete.

I was born in the 1 800s. I inherited(继承) a large fortune, a healthy body and an excellent mind. I was naturally hard-working and soon I was very successful in my job. So the outside world saw a serious, hard-working, successful doctor. Behind this quiet character, however, was a wild, fun-loving, irresponsible young man. Both of them were me. They lived together in the same body.“Was it possible," I wondered, “to find a drug that could give each side of my character its own separate face and body?"此卷只装订不密封班级 姓名 准考证号 考场号 座位号After much thought and careful study I believed I had found the answer. I had read many scientific books and spent many hours in my laboratory, searching for the right mixture of chemicals to make my drug. At last I got everything ready.Late one night, I mixed everything together and prepared my drug. I watched the smoke rising from the liquid as its color changed from red to purple and at last to green. Then, bravely, I drank every bitter drop.I felt a violent sickness in my stomach and a terrible pain in all my bones. The room seemed to turn round and round and I trembled with fear. Then the fear and pain disappeared and a strange, sweet feeling took its place. Wild thoughts danced through my mind- the wild passions of an evil and cruel stranger. But inside myself I felt younger, light er, more carefree than ever before. "If this is pure evil," I thought, “I like it.”I stood there, enjoying these strange new thoughts and passions and suddenly realized that I was shorter. So I decided to go to my bedroom in my new body and take a look at myself in the mirror there. As I came into my room, I saw Edward Hyde for the first time.At that time, the good side of my character was stronger than the evil side. Henry Jekyll had his faults, but he was mostly a good, kind man. I believe that is the reason why Edward Hyde was so much smaller than Henry Jekyll. But that was not the only difference between the two men. Henry Jekyll had a kind, open, honest face. But pure evil stared out of Edward Hyde's eyes. I felt no dislike, however. Indeed, I welcomed him. Edward Hyde was me, young and strong and full of life.21.In others' eyes, the writer was _____________.A.wild and successful B.fun-loving and responsibleC.serious and hard-working D.quiet and irresponsible22.The writer wanted to find a drug to _____________.A.discover the right mixture of chemicalsB.observe the change of the chemicalsC.create separate bodies for both sidesD.make himself smaller but stronger23.From the passage we can learn that the writer _____________.A.was satisfied with both of his bodiesB.preferred kind Henry to pure evil EdwardC.was very sick of the shorter Edward HydeD.felt quite delighted right after taking the drugEnvelope BudgetFrom McDonald's to Sonic, fast food had a bad effect on my waistline and my budget. It was nothing to run to a drive-through to pick up a cold drink or a quick bite to eat. It was so easy to use my card for a small purchase. For me, I got a lot of satisfaction from fast food.One day I sat down and calculated that I was spending a surprising $40 a week on fast food. This was a lot of iced coffee and hamburgers! Instead of reducing my guilty pleasures, I decided to give myself a strong budget to reduce my consumption. Every Monday I placed an envelope with $20 in my purse. That was my fast food budget for the entire week. If there was anything left over at the end of the week, it was mine to save or spend. If I spent all of the money during the week, there were no more fast food stops that week.The budget made me more mindful of my purchases. Instead of purchasing a large drink from Sonic, I would purchase a small. It was sill satisfying but not nearly as pricey. Instead of eating a whole meal, I would pick the part that I actually wanted. Many days, the thought of hanging onto the money for a special purpose meant more to me than the instant satisfaction of fast food. I never really felt unhappy because it was a conscious choice to spend or save with each purchase.Envelope budget kept me honest. I had a clear idea how much money was spent each week on fast food purchases. I started to bring my lunches more often to save more money for the week. It was a fun challenge to see how much I could save every week.Changing the way I spent on fast food not only helped my budget, but improved my weight. In the first month I was able to get rid of 5 pounds by simply changing the way I approached spending on fast food. Now I am more likely to bring my lunch than to buy it. I am not upset, but empowered to make positive choices to improve my life.24.According to Paragraph 1, the author _____________.A.was fond of fast food very muchB.had no time to cook for herselfC.lived with a small amount of moneyD.got some benefits from using her card25.The author set her envelope budget to _____________.A.buy fast food at a good bargainB.save money to buy more fast foodC.get rid of the habit of eating fast foodD.make fast food spending under control26.We can infer from the last paragraph that _____________.A.it is unusual to make some changesB.the budget means a pressure on lifeC.envelope budget is good for healthD.it is hard to enjoy a healthy lifestyle27.What is the passage mainly about?A.Why the author became addicted to fast food.B.How envelope budget changed the author's life.C.How fast food controlled the author's behavior.D.Why the author took envelope budget seriously.Senses That Work TogetherWhen we think about how our senses work, we usually imagine them operating separately: you sniff a flower, and the smell is delivered uninterrupted from nose to brain. However, it's more complex than that. Most evidence for cross modal perception (知觉) comes from studies into sound and vision (视觉). But research that shows other senses crossing over is coming out all the time, and it seems that even sound and smell sometimes form an unlikely pairing.When New York researchers, Daniel Wesson and Donald Wilson, tried to find out the truth about a "mysterious” area of the brain called the olfactory tubercle, they had to deal with this fact. Originally, they only intended to measure how olfactory tubercle cells in mice responded to smell. But during testing, Wesson noticed that every time he put his coffee cup down, the mouse cells jumped in activity. In fact, the olfactory tubercle is well-placed to receive both smell and sound information from the outside world. Later they found that among separate cells, most responded to a smell but a significant number were also active when a sound was made. Some cells even behaved differently when smell and sound were presented together, by increasing or decreasing their activity.Of course, mice aren't people, so research team has been carrying out further experiments. They pulled together a group of people and gave them various drinks to smell. Participants were asked to sniff the drinks, and then match them to appropriate musical instruments and produce the notes at different levels. The results were interesting: piano was regularly paired with fruity fragrances; strong smells sounded like the instruments that are made of metal.Further research found that listening to different sounds can change your perceptions. Studying taste this time, the team ordered some special toffee (太妃糖) and put together “soundscapes” corresponding to bitterness and sweetness. Participants tasted similar pieces of toffee while listening to each soundscape, and found the toffee more bitter or sweeter, depending on which soundrack they were listening to.Studies like this are helping scientists correctly describe our understanding of the senses, and how the brain combines them with its advantage. The consequences are worth considering. Could we see musicians work together with chefs to produce sound-improved food and drink? Will you be ordering a coffee with a soundrack to bring out your favorite smell? Come to think of it, that could be one thing you hope coffee shop chains don’t get round to.28.What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 refer to?A.A lot of research focuses on the senses.B.There can be a link between sound and smell.C.Sound and vision are relatively easy to study.D.Evidence about the way senses work is hard to obtain.29.In Wesson and Wilson's research,__________.A.the mice were affected more significantly by soundB.the result confirmed what the researchers had suspectedC.the connection between sound and smell was found by chanceD.the mice seemed to be afraid of certain sounds or smells30.What is the main idea of Paragraph 3?A.Participants took an active part in the experiments.B.The purpose of the further experiments was totally different.C.The result failed to support what was found in previous experiments.D.Experiments showed that links between sound and smell were consistent.31.How does the author feel about the effect of the research?A.She is surprised at the recent developments.B.She is excited about the creative chances.C.She is convinced that the findings will be used soon.D.She is worried about how the knowledge can be applied.Work and the Young: Generation Jobless“YOUNG people ought not to be idl e (闲置的) . It is very bad for them," said MargaretThatcher in 1984. She was right: there are few worse things that society can do to its young than to leave them ignored.Yet more young people are idle than ever. The International Labour Organization reports that 75m (m=million) young people globally are looking for a job. World Bank surveys suggest that 262m young people are economically inactive. The number of young people without a job is nearly as large as the population of America (311m).Two factors play a big part. First, the long slowdown in the West has reduced demand for labour, and it is easier to put off hiring young people than it is to fire older workers. Second, inemerging economies population growth is the fastest in countries with disordered labour markets, such as India and Egypt.One possible way to settle this problem is to stimulate growth. That is easier said than done in a world suffering from debt, and is anyway a possible answer. The countries where the problem is worst (such as Spain and Egypt) suffered from high youth unemployment even when their economies were growing. Throughout the recession ( 经济不景气),companies have continued to complain that they cannot find young people with the right skills. This underlines the importance of two other solutions: reforming labour markets and improving education.Youth unemployment is often at its worst in countries with inflexible labour markets. High taxes on hiring, strict rules about firing, high minimum wages: all these help force young people to the street corner. South Africa has some of the highest unemployment, in part because it has powerful trade unions and inflexible rules about hiring and firing. Many countries with high youth unemployment rate have high minimum wages and heavy taxes on labour. India has around 200 laws on work and pay.Across the OECD (经合组织) , people who left school at the earliest opportunity are twice as likely to be unemployed as university graduates. But it is unwise to conclude that governments should simply continue increasing the number of people who graduate from university. In both Britain and the United States many people with arts degrees are finding it impossible to get appropriate jobs. In North Africa university graduates are twice as likely to be unemployed as non-graduates.What matters is not just number of years of education people get, but its content. This means expanding the study of science and technology and closing the gap between the world of education and the world of work-for example by upgrading vocational education and by building closer relations between companies and schools. Germany, which has the second lowest level of youth unemployment in the rich world, owns long-history system of vocational schooling and apprenticeships (学徒制).The problem of youth unemployment has been getting worse for several years. But there are at last some reasons for hope. Governments are trying to address the mismatch between education and the labour market. Companies are beginning to take more responsibility for the young. The world has a real chance of introducing an education-and-training revolution worthy of the solution to the problem.32.According to the passage, which of the following statements may the author approve of ?A.A flexible labour market is not enough to raise youth employment.B.As long as the economy grows youth unemployment will soon be settled.C.Firms fire more older workers than the young in the economic slowdown.D.Powerful trade unions and high minimum wages lead to high employment.33.The author mentioned the German's education system in order to show_____________.A.rich countries are responsible for high youth unemploymentB.the problem of youth unemployment has been settledC.companies have more responsibilities to settle youth unemploymentD.the match between education and the labour market can reduce youth unemployment34.What does the underlined phrase "vocational education” mean in Para.7 ?A.Technical trainingB.Higher educationC.Moral educationD.Business courses35.The passage mainly talks about _____________.A.the need for labour market revolutionB.possible ways to settle global youth unemploymentC.the relations between education and employmentD.factors contributing to low youth unemployment第II卷(非选择题)三、其他36.Parties at Bruno's house were always dominated by Grandmother's singing, which for some reason always seemed to ___________ the moment when Mother moved from the main party area to the kitchen, followed by some of her own friends.A.put up with B.coincide withC.come up with D.contradict37.However, Mother and Father's voices were muffled and hard to___________, Grandfather's was not to be heard at all, while grandmother's was surprisingly blurred.A.comment on B.make senseC.make out D.weigh up38.The pyjama people all jumped to attention whenever the soldiers ___________ and sometimes they fell to the ground and sometimes they didn't even get up and had to be carried away instead.A.assumed B.salutedC.vanished D.approached39."Poland,' said Bruno thoughtfully, ___________ the word on his tongue.A.weighing up B.making up forC.insisting D.winding up40.An hour before the Fury ___________ Gretel and Bruno were brought downstairs, where they received a rare invitation into Father's office.A.soaked up the applause of the guests B.showed offC.erupted in excitement D.was due to arrive41.Shmuel watched him do this and ___________ nervously.

Five successful women delivered speeches on the topic “Bouncing Back after Setbacks.” As I sat there listening to their many personal and professional mistakes and setbacks, I felt fortunate that I hadn’t made th at many mistakes in my own life.Those women had lost thousands in investments, started companies but failed, sold companies that later ended up being worth millions, and lost partners in the name of business. Despite knowing that they had, in fact, bounced back and were again doing very well, I was starting to feel sorry for them. Then, as if someone whispered in my ear, I heard the words: “Don’t be so proud of yourself. You haven’t made any mistakes because you haven’t lived at all. Look how boring your life is.” Whose voice was this, and how dare it speak to me like that?I think, for the first time, I heard my own heart speak. It shook me to my core, and it took all I had to keep from crying. I started thinking of the mistakes I had made. The voice wa s right. There weren’t many at all. I had followed a straight path for 38 years. I went to school, earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees with honors, and stayed at every job I’d had far longer than it was professionally beneficial for me to do so. In fact, at 38, I had only had three jobs. “ The devil( 魔鬼 ) you know is better than the one you don’t ” was my motto.A quick review of my life made me realize that it was the actions I hadn’t taken that I was suddenly regretting. I hadn’t studied abroad. I hadn’t risked love. In fact, I was perpetually single. I hadn’t started a business. I hadn’t traveled enough. I had said “no” far more than “yes”.The voice that whispered to me continued to the New Year. It was like it laughed at me. The thought of turning forty frightened me. It’s one thing to be unhappy and unsettled in your twenties, and perhaps even in one’s thirties. But was I going to start a new decade with the same boredom? I needed something to pick me up, some activity I could look forward to.31 . How did the author feel when first hearing stories from the 5 speakers? 32 . The author felt like crying during the conference because she realized . 33 . What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 probably mean? 34 .

A.felt afraid of ageingB.traveled abroad a lotC.was married in her thirtiesD.decided to do something new(★★★) Printable Tags Turn Everyday Objects into Smart DevicesEngineers have developed printable metal tags (标贴) that could be attached to everyday objects and turn them into smart Internet of Things devices.The metal tags are made from copper foil (铜箔) printed onto thin, flexible, paper-like materials to refle ct WiFi signals. The tags work essentially like “mirrors” that reflect radio signals from a WiFi router. When a user’s finger touches these “mirrors”, it disturbs the reflected WiFi signals in such a way that can be remotely sensed by a WiFi receiver like a smartphone.The tags can be nailed onto objects that people touch every day, like water bottles, walls or doors. These objects then become smart and connected devices that can signal a WiFi device whenever a user interacts with them. The tags can also be shaped into thin keypads or smart home control panels that can be used to remotely operate WiFi-connected speakers and other Internet of Things devices. Xinyu Zhang, a professor of electrical and computer engineering, named the technology LiveTag. He pictures people using LiveTag technology to track human interaction with everyday objects. For example, LiveTag could potentially be used to assess the recovery of patients who have suffered fromstroke (中风). “When patients return home, they could use this t echnology to provide data based on how they interact with everyday objects at home, whether they are opening or closing doors in a normal way, or if they are able to pick up bottles of water, for example. The amount, intensity and frequency of their activi ties could be recorded and sent to their doctors to evaluate their recovery,” said Zhang. “And this can all be done in the comfort of their own homes rather than having to keep going back to the clinic for frequent testing,” he added.The researchers note several limitations of the technology. LiveTag currently cannot work with a WiFi receiver further than one meter away, so researchers are working on improving the tag sensitivity and detection range. Ultimately, the team aims to develop a way to make the tags using normal paper and ink printing, which would make them cheaper to mass produce.35 . When people touch a printable metal tag, . 36 . LiveTag can probably be used to . 37 . LiveTag helps stroke patients by .A.they are actually touching a mirrorB.the WiFi router will stop sending signalsC.the reflected WiFi signals will be disturbedD.their fingers can be sensed by a WiFi routerA.precisely locate everyday objectsB.remotely control a WiFi-connected TVC.easily block signals from WiFi devicesD.greatly improve one’s physical conditionA.evaluating the process of their recoveryB.sending data of their activities to doctorsC.connecting their smartphones with doctors’D.recording doctors’ assessments of their recovery(★★★) How to Make Friends, According to ScienceFriendship is one of life’s most important features, and one too often taken for granted.The human desire for companionship may feel boundless, but research suggests that our social capital is finite—we can only handle a certain number of relationships at one time. Social scientists have used some creative approaches to measure the size of people’s social networks; these have returned estimates ranging from about 250 to about 5,500 people. Looking more specifically at friendship, a study using the exchange of Christmas cards to test closeness put the average person’s friend group at about 121 people. However vast our networks may be, our inner circle tends to be much smaller. The average American trusts only 10 to 20 people. Moreover, that number may be shrinking: From 1998 to 2017, the average number of trusted friends decreased from three to two. This is both sad and of important consequence, because people who have strong social relationships tend to live longer than those who don’t.So what should you do if your social life is lacking? Here the research is instructive. To begin with, don’t refuse to consider the humble acquaintance(交情). Even interacting with people with whom one has weak social ties has a meaningful influence on well-being. Beyond that, building deeper friendships may be largely a matter of putting in time. A recent study out of the University of Kansas found that it takes about 50 hours of socializing to go from acquaintance to casual friend, an additional 40 hours to become a “real” friend, and a total of 200 hours to become a close friend.If that sounds like too much effort, renewing inactive social ties can be especially rewarding. Reconnected friends can quickly recapture the trust they previously built, while offering each other a dash of novelty(新奇)drawn from whatever they’ve been up to in the meantime. And if all else fails, you could start randomly to tell secrets to people you don’t know that well. Self-disclosure makes us more likable, and as a bonus, we are more likely to favor those to whom we have revealed our soul. Longing for closeness and connection is common and everywhere, which suggests that most of us are stumbling(跌跌撞撞)through the world, expecting companionship that could be easily provided by the lonesome stumblers all around us. So set aside this article, turn to someone nearby, and try to make a friend.38 . From Paragraph 2, we can know that . 39 . What does the author suggest to improve one’s social life? 40 .

A positive action, one might think, but the focus of the story was to ask what China was doing in the Pacific, and how we have failed to the extent that we have allowed this to happen. What are the Chinese doing on “our patch”?In fact, the rise of China is to a certain degree promoted as a threat. The challenge to the West, then, is to improve an appreciation of wh at China is. How does China’s cultural heritage present a positive advantage to the world?To understand this, it is important to consider the foundations of Chinese culture and society. China has more than 5,000 years of uninterrupted cultural development. We at least need to go back 2,500 years to study Taoism, for its cultural and philosophical roots, and Confucius for his social philosophy and influence on society.Taoism provides us with many aspects of the special nature of Chinese culture and philosophy. The concept of yin and yang in Taoism, which brings us balance through the integration of opposites, is well-known but not fully understood in the West. Chinese medicine, which tends to take a longer time to take effect, with a focus to work in harmony with the body, is to restore imbalance causing diseases rather than targeting only the specific symptom or problem area.Confucius’ contribution to Chinese society also provides a difference to Western society. Eastern society places the community as the most important component of society. In Western society, it is the individual that is considered to be the unit of society, compatible with an objective analysis of issues.Considering a monkey, cow and banana, which is the odd one out? The vast majority of Chinese will choose the cow because the monkey eats the banana, which gives food to the monkey. Western people invariably choose the banana because they see the objective classification of the monkey and cow. The consideration of these two responses, and extension into deeper philosophical understanding, presents a major difference between Chinese and Western thought.Therefore, the challenge to the West is to embrace an alternative perspective on issues. It is time for Western media to seek a balance in reporting affairs, and critiqu(e It is time for a Chinese voice to be heard in the West. 评判)the Western perspective.42 .

The author’s purpose of writing the passage is to .A.tells a story of Chinese doctorsB.demonstrates the concern of the WestC.stresses the decline of Western cultureD.shows the medical development of ChinaA.To help better understand Taoism.B.To define the concept of yin and yang.C.To emphasize the contributions of Taoism.D.To express the author’s pride in Chinese culture.A.Taoism has a greater influence than ConfucianismB.Confucianism finds balance in integrating oppositesC.the West takes China’s cultural heritage as an advantageD.Eastern society considers community the essential unit of societyA.warn the West of the threat of ChinaB.introduce to the West what China really isC.recommend the West to accept the rise of ChinaD.appeal to the West to have an objective attitude to China四、七选五(★★★) People worldwide are living longer. Today, most people can expect to live into their sixties and beyond. By 2050, the world’s population aged 60 and older is expected to total 2 billion, up from 900 million in 2015.While this shift in proportion (比例) of a country’s population towards older ages---known as ageing---started in high-income countries, for example in Japan, 30% of the population are already over 60 years old, it is now low- and middle-income countries that are experiencing the greatest change. 46 . At the biological level, ageing results from molecular (分子的) and cellular damage over time.This leads to a growing risk of disease and eventually death. 47 . That’s why we say there is no “typical” older person. While some 70 year-olds enjoy extremely good health, other 70 year-olds are weak and require a lot of help from others.48 . Retirement, relocation and the death of friends and partners are some of the possible reasons. For example, moving older people to a better house, which seems an admirable behavior, may do harm to their health eventually.49 . Some people believe older people can be active and productive. A longer life brings opportunities, both for older people themselves and for society. They can pursue new activities such as further education or a new career.

第I 卷(选择题)一、完形填空As a teenager, I was pretty lazy when it came to doing things for my family. I worked hard at school, and sometimes looked after my younger sister. Still, I found myself regularly resisting the urge to 1 out at home with even the simplest things.Every Wednesday afternoon, for example, my mother 2 me to another town for a piano lesson. During my two-hour lesson, she'd rush to the nearby store and buy a week's worth of 3 . Given the fact that my mom had driven me twelve miles there, twelve miles back, 4 for my lesson, and bought me a candy bar, you'd think I'd be very 5 to help her bring the groceries into the house. 6 I wasn't. I generally just brought in an armload and left the 7 for Mom as I ran to my room, shut the door, and started studying.Don't get me wrong: even back in my room, I felt 8 about not helping my mother more. Deep inside, I wanted to change my 9 But I also realized that once I did change, there'd be no going back. 10 I took on more responsibility, my parents would start 11 more of me. At age fifteen, I sensed that this one small change would 12 something much bigger: my personal change from a cared-for, spoiled (被宠坏的) child to a more 13 caring and giving young man.I'll never forget the Wednesday when I made a(n) 14 to jump in and see what happened. Returning home from the 15 I disappeared into my room, as usual. But once inside, I felt that deep and burning 16 .Throwing my school books on the bed, I suddenly opened my door and 17 back tothe garage to help my mother. How happy I felt that day!Surely, over time, I continued to help out with more housework. The neat thing was, the more I helped out, the 18 I felt about myself and my place in my family. As Mom and Dad realized they could 19on me more, our trips became far less stressful, too. In short, it was a win-win situation for everyone.Sometimes the little things we put off doing the longest 20 out to be the simplest things to complete.

I was born in the 1 800s. I inherited(继承) a large fortune, a healthy body and an excellent mind. I was naturally hard-working and soon I was very successful in my job. So the outside world saw a serious, hard-working, successful doctor. Behind this quiet character, however, was a wild, fun-loving, irresponsible young man. Both of them were me. They lived together in the same body.“Was it possible," I wondered, “to find a drug that could give each side of my character its own separate face and body?"此卷只装订不密封班级 姓名 准考证号 考场号 座位号After much thought and careful study I believed I had found the answer. I had read many scientific books and spent many hours in my laboratory, searching for the right mixture of chemicals to make my drug. At last I got everything ready.Late one night, I mixed everything together and prepared my drug. I watched the smoke rising from the liquid as its color changed from red to purple and at last to green. Then, bravely, I drank every bitter drop.I felt a violent sickness in my stomach and a terrible pain in all my bones. The room seemed to turn round and round and I trembled with fear. Then the fear and pain disappeared and a strange, sweet feeling took its place. Wild thoughts danced through my mind- the wild passions of an evil and cruel stranger. But inside myself I felt younger, light er, more carefree than ever before. "If this is pure evil," I thought, “I like it.”I stood there, enjoying these strange new thoughts and passions and suddenly realized that I was shorter. So I decided to go to my bedroom in my new body and take a look at myself in the mirror there. As I came into my room, I saw Edward Hyde for the first time.At that time, the good side of my character was stronger than the evil side. Henry Jekyll had his faults, but he was mostly a good, kind man. I believe that is the reason why Edward Hyde was so much smaller than Henry Jekyll. But that was not the only difference between the two men. Henry Jekyll had a kind, open, honest face. But pure evil stared out of Edward Hyde's eyes. I felt no dislike, however. Indeed, I welcomed him. Edward Hyde was me, young and strong and full of life.21.In others' eyes, the writer was _____________.A.wild and successful B.fun-loving and responsibleC.serious and hard-working D.quiet and irresponsible22.The writer wanted to find a drug to _____________.A.discover the right mixture of chemicalsB.observe the change of the chemicalsC.create separate bodies for both sidesD.make himself smaller but stronger23.From the passage we can learn that the writer _____________.A.was satisfied with both of his bodiesB.preferred kind Henry to pure evil EdwardC.was very sick of the shorter Edward HydeD.felt quite delighted right after taking the drugEnvelope BudgetFrom McDonald's to Sonic, fast food had a bad effect on my waistline and my budget. It was nothing to run to a drive-through to pick up a cold drink or a quick bite to eat. It was so easy to use my card for a small purchase. For me, I got a lot of satisfaction from fast food.One day I sat down and calculated that I was spending a surprising $40 a week on fast food. This was a lot of iced coffee and hamburgers! Instead of reducing my guilty pleasures, I decided to give myself a strong budget to reduce my consumption. Every Monday I placed an envelope with $20 in my purse. That was my fast food budget for the entire week. If there was anything left over at the end of the week, it was mine to save or spend. If I spent all of the money during the week, there were no more fast food stops that week.The budget made me more mindful of my purchases. Instead of purchasing a large drink from Sonic, I would purchase a small. It was sill satisfying but not nearly as pricey. Instead of eating a whole meal, I would pick the part that I actually wanted. Many days, the thought of hanging onto the money for a special purpose meant more to me than the instant satisfaction of fast food. I never really felt unhappy because it was a conscious choice to spend or save with each purchase.Envelope budget kept me honest. I had a clear idea how much money was spent each week on fast food purchases. I started to bring my lunches more often to save more money for the week. It was a fun challenge to see how much I could save every week.Changing the way I spent on fast food not only helped my budget, but improved my weight. In the first month I was able to get rid of 5 pounds by simply changing the way I approached spending on fast food. Now I am more likely to bring my lunch than to buy it. I am not upset, but empowered to make positive choices to improve my life.24.According to Paragraph 1, the author _____________.A.was fond of fast food very muchB.had no time to cook for herselfC.lived with a small amount of moneyD.got some benefits from using her card25.The author set her envelope budget to _____________.A.buy fast food at a good bargainB.save money to buy more fast foodC.get rid of the habit of eating fast foodD.make fast food spending under control26.We can infer from the last paragraph that _____________.A.it is unusual to make some changesB.the budget means a pressure on lifeC.envelope budget is good for healthD.it is hard to enjoy a healthy lifestyle27.What is the passage mainly about?A.Why the author became addicted to fast food.B.How envelope budget changed the author's life.C.How fast food controlled the author's behavior.D.Why the author took envelope budget seriously.Senses That Work TogetherWhen we think about how our senses work, we usually imagine them operating separately: you sniff a flower, and the smell is delivered uninterrupted from nose to brain. However, it's more complex than that. Most evidence for cross modal perception (知觉) comes from studies into sound and vision (视觉). But research that shows other senses crossing over is coming out all the time, and it seems that even sound and smell sometimes form an unlikely pairing.When New York researchers, Daniel Wesson and Donald Wilson, tried to find out the truth about a "mysterious” area of the brain called the olfactory tubercle, they had to deal with this fact. Originally, they only intended to measure how olfactory tubercle cells in mice responded to smell. But during testing, Wesson noticed that every time he put his coffee cup down, the mouse cells jumped in activity. In fact, the olfactory tubercle is well-placed to receive both smell and sound information from the outside world. Later they found that among separate cells, most responded to a smell but a significant number were also active when a sound was made. Some cells even behaved differently when smell and sound were presented together, by increasing or decreasing their activity.Of course, mice aren't people, so research team has been carrying out further experiments. They pulled together a group of people and gave them various drinks to smell. Participants were asked to sniff the drinks, and then match them to appropriate musical instruments and produce the notes at different levels. The results were interesting: piano was regularly paired with fruity fragrances; strong smells sounded like the instruments that are made of metal.Further research found that listening to different sounds can change your perceptions. Studying taste this time, the team ordered some special toffee (太妃糖) and put together “soundscapes” corresponding to bitterness and sweetness. Participants tasted similar pieces of toffee while listening to each soundscape, and found the toffee more bitter or sweeter, depending on which soundrack they were listening to.Studies like this are helping scientists correctly describe our understanding of the senses, and how the brain combines them with its advantage. The consequences are worth considering. Could we see musicians work together with chefs to produce sound-improved food and drink? Will you be ordering a coffee with a soundrack to bring out your favorite smell? Come to think of it, that could be one thing you hope coffee shop chains don’t get round to.28.What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 refer to?A.A lot of research focuses on the senses.B.There can be a link between sound and smell.C.Sound and vision are relatively easy to study.D.Evidence about the way senses work is hard to obtain.29.In Wesson and Wilson's research,__________.A.the mice were affected more significantly by soundB.the result confirmed what the researchers had suspectedC.the connection between sound and smell was found by chanceD.the mice seemed to be afraid of certain sounds or smells30.What is the main idea of Paragraph 3?A.Participants took an active part in the experiments.B.The purpose of the further experiments was totally different.C.The result failed to support what was found in previous experiments.D.Experiments showed that links between sound and smell were consistent.31.How does the author feel about the effect of the research?A.She is surprised at the recent developments.B.She is excited about the creative chances.C.She is convinced that the findings will be used soon.D.She is worried about how the knowledge can be applied.Work and the Young: Generation Jobless“YOUNG people ought not to be idl e (闲置的) . It is very bad for them," said MargaretThatcher in 1984. She was right: there are few worse things that society can do to its young than to leave them ignored.Yet more young people are idle than ever. The International Labour Organization reports that 75m (m=million) young people globally are looking for a job. World Bank surveys suggest that 262m young people are economically inactive. The number of young people without a job is nearly as large as the population of America (311m).Two factors play a big part. First, the long slowdown in the West has reduced demand for labour, and it is easier to put off hiring young people than it is to fire older workers. Second, inemerging economies population growth is the fastest in countries with disordered labour markets, such as India and Egypt.One possible way to settle this problem is to stimulate growth. That is easier said than done in a world suffering from debt, and is anyway a possible answer. The countries where the problem is worst (such as Spain and Egypt) suffered from high youth unemployment even when their economies were growing. Throughout the recession ( 经济不景气),companies have continued to complain that they cannot find young people with the right skills. This underlines the importance of two other solutions: reforming labour markets and improving education.Youth unemployment is often at its worst in countries with inflexible labour markets. High taxes on hiring, strict rules about firing, high minimum wages: all these help force young people to the street corner. South Africa has some of the highest unemployment, in part because it has powerful trade unions and inflexible rules about hiring and firing. Many countries with high youth unemployment rate have high minimum wages and heavy taxes on labour. India has around 200 laws on work and pay.Across the OECD (经合组织) , people who left school at the earliest opportunity are twice as likely to be unemployed as university graduates. But it is unwise to conclude that governments should simply continue increasing the number of people who graduate from university. In both Britain and the United States many people with arts degrees are finding it impossible to get appropriate jobs. In North Africa university graduates are twice as likely to be unemployed as non-graduates.What matters is not just number of years of education people get, but its content. This means expanding the study of science and technology and closing the gap between the world of education and the world of work-for example by upgrading vocational education and by building closer relations between companies and schools. Germany, which has the second lowest level of youth unemployment in the rich world, owns long-history system of vocational schooling and apprenticeships (学徒制).The problem of youth unemployment has been getting worse for several years. But there are at last some reasons for hope. Governments are trying to address the mismatch between education and the labour market. Companies are beginning to take more responsibility for the young. The world has a real chance of introducing an education-and-training revolution worthy of the solution to the problem.32.According to the passage, which of the following statements may the author approve of ?A.A flexible labour market is not enough to raise youth employment.B.As long as the economy grows youth unemployment will soon be settled.C.Firms fire more older workers than the young in the economic slowdown.D.Powerful trade unions and high minimum wages lead to high employment.33.The author mentioned the German's education system in order to show_____________.A.rich countries are responsible for high youth unemploymentB.the problem of youth unemployment has been settledC.companies have more responsibilities to settle youth unemploymentD.the match between education and the labour market can reduce youth unemployment34.What does the underlined phrase "vocational education” mean in Para.7 ?A.Technical trainingB.Higher educationC.Moral educationD.Business courses35.The passage mainly talks about _____________.A.the need for labour market revolutionB.possible ways to settle global youth unemploymentC.the relations between education and employmentD.factors contributing to low youth unemployment第II卷(非选择题)三、其他36.Parties at Bruno's house were always dominated by Grandmother's singing, which for some reason always seemed to ___________ the moment when Mother moved from the main party area to the kitchen, followed by some of her own friends.A.put up with B.coincide withC.come up with D.contradict37.However, Mother and Father's voices were muffled and hard to___________, Grandfather's was not to be heard at all, while grandmother's was surprisingly blurred.A.comment on B.make senseC.make out D.weigh up38.The pyjama people all jumped to attention whenever the soldiers ___________ and sometimes they fell to the ground and sometimes they didn't even get up and had to be carried away instead.A.assumed B.salutedC.vanished D.approached39."Poland,' said Bruno thoughtfully, ___________ the word on his tongue.A.weighing up B.making up forC.insisting D.winding up40.An hour before the Fury ___________ Gretel and Bruno were brought downstairs, where they received a rare invitation into Father's office.A.soaked up the applause of the guests B.showed offC.erupted in excitement D.was due to arrive41.Shmuel watched him do this and ___________ nervously.

AWhen I was a boy, I used to love walking in the woods around my home. My mum warned me several times never to travel so far that I would lose sight of the house. Being a typical boy, however, I soon found myself hiking further and further away, testing just how far I could go into the woods without getting lost. After losing my way once for two hours, though, I decided that I had better leave a trail the next time I went for a walk.The very next day I decided to try it. I walked into the woods until the house was out of sight. Then I broke a small branch on a young tree to mark my place. I wandered further in and broke another limb and then another. In a few spots where there were no limbs small enough, I snapped the heads off the low plants that were growing where the sunlight broke through the trees. After a while I finally got tired and decided to head back. Turning around I easily found my tracks, but instead of being proud I felt sad. I could see the trail of destruction I had left in the woods going on and on. Looking at the broken limbs and dead flowers I wondered if God was disappointed in me and I vowed never to do that again. Instead, I started to cherish my times alone in the woods with nature. I'd sit by the streams and listen to them sing. I'd watch the birds and squirrels. I'd bend down to smell the flowers. And I even buried an acorn or two hoping that one day an Oak might grow.There is an old Native American Saying that goes "We will be known forever by the tracks we leave." As I have grown older and wiser, I have done my best to never leave a trail of destruction in my life as I did in the woods that day. I have instead tried to leave tracks of love, kindness, goodness, and compassion and I have strived to show others that they can do the same. May you always leave tracks of joy as you follow your own trail of love.41. When the boy headed back from the woods, he felt sad because ___________.A. he lost his way in the woodsB. he could find his tracks so easilyC. he left many trails of destructionD. God was very disappointed in him42. The boy took off some branches to __________.A. protect himselfB. make his way outC. see the sun clearlyD. leave some marks43. What does the underlined word "cherish" in Paragraph 2 mean?A. findB. valueC. wasteD. spend44. The author wrote the passage to ________.A. call on us to leave tracks of virtues in lifeB. inform us that we shouldn't destroy treesC. tell us how to avoid getting lost in the woodsD. show us ways to get back home in the forestBDr. Michael Prager, a leading Botox expert, said that a growing number of women are developing something called “computer face”. He also mentioned that professionals who worked long hours in front of a screen were ending up with saggy jowls(颚骨),“turkey neck” and deep-set wrinkles on their forehead and around their eyes.The Botox expert said that, of all his clients, office workers were most likely to show premature (过早的)signs of aging. “ If you are one of the unfortunate people who frown(皱眉)while you are concentrating on the screen then, over time, you will inevitably end up with frown lines.’’ Dr. Prager said. “What is perhaps more surprising is the number of women with saggy jowls because they are sitting in one position for so long. If you spend most of the time looking down then the neck muscles shorten and go saggy, event ually giving you a second neck.”Dr. Prager, who has a practice near Harley Street in London, said he encourageshis clients to put a mirror next to their computer so they can see if they are frowning at the screen. “When people are stressed or thinking hard about something, then they will often put on a ‘grumpy(脾气暴躁的)face’ without even knowing what they are doing. When my clients put a mirror next to their desk, they are often shocked by the angry, frowning face which stares back at them.”He said, “The women I am seeing at the moment have only been using computers at work for the last decade or so.

Is investing(投资) in a college or university education still worth it? The short answer is “yes.” There is no doubt that college pays off financially. A wide range of statistics shows that economic advantage of a four-year college education. Over a lifetime, students who graduate from college can expect to make about 60% more than those who do not. College graduates also tend to lead more active lives. They vote more often, volunteer more often and are more likely to own a home. Education encourages people to engage as citizens and live healthier and longer lives.But what about the benefits of college that are more difficult to measure? They are even more significant and add up to a lot of value over the course of a lifetime. College takes students to places they’ve never been before. College is a passport to different places, different times, and different ways of thinking. It gives students a chance to understand themselves differently, seeing how their lives are both like and unlike those who lived in other ages and other lands.College introduces students to people they’ve never met before. One of the most important ways in which students learn, at college and universities everywhere, is by interacting with people who are different from themselves both inside and outside of the classroom.College teaches students the importance of slowing down. No one denies(否认)the value of speed, but “thinking” is a word that is too often forgotten. College teaches students to slow down, to transform information to insight and knowing to understanding. It develops critical engagement, enlightened skepticism, and an endless desire to self-educate, preparing students for a lifetime of considering information and growing in knowledge and in wisdom.In these ways and in so many others, college helps students see themselves differently, giving them the room and license to imagine new possibilities. Yes, it opens opportunities reflected in earning and employment statistics. But, perhaps even more valuable, it opens minds and worlds in ways that cannot be measured.The value of higher education is embodied(体现)by people who dream bigger and achieve more, who create their own futures and shape their own fate.49.
