Yet when it dawned on me just how much time I was spending socializing, I realized I may be taking it to an extreme. I calculated that, on average, I was spending 22 hours or more each week on social activities. So, to see what would happen to my work output, health and wellbeing, I decided to try and cut out my social life entirely.I knew, at times, I filled my schedule simply out of fear of missing out (FOMO), but also as a way to shift focus away from my work. For one month, I declined all in-person activities with friends: going out for drinks; dinners; parties and non-work related events, to see if it would make me more productive, improve my focus and career prospects.On day one of the month-long experiment, I had to fight some anxiety over missing out. But as the days passed, I started to relax. I only had one option to consider for Saturday night—to stay home—and this limitation left me more satisfied in my decision. I felt more content working, reading or watching TV.While I found more time to work, I also noticed a change in my overall health. I found myself cooking more at home, doing daily exercise, getting to bed earlier each night, reading, and enjoying moments of rest and boredom throughout the day.Having no social life left me more free time than I’d i magine. Such idle moments are vital for creativity, and mind wandering has been linked to creative problem solving. During the experiment I found myself regularly brainstorming new ideas and reimagining existing projects.Of course socializing is an important way to build work contacts. While one month of no social life did not impact my relationship with existing clients, if I had continued, it may harm my ability to build new ones.4.What did the author realize about his socializing?A.It was difficult for him to contact people.B.It’s a necessary part of his life and work.C.He had spent too much time in socializing.D.He should have spent more time socializing.5.How did the author feel on the first day of his experiment?A.He felt anxious that he might be left out.B.He felt more energetic to get down to work.C.He felt relaxed not having to contact people.D.He felt doubtful whether he could hold on.6.What benefit did the author find to let his mind wander lazily?A.He could have more time with his family.B.He could solve problems in a creative way.C.He could be more concentrated on his work.D.He could free himself from the work contacts.7.What would the author do after the experiment?A.Live a quiet life with his family away from the outside.B.Make a new social life with any possible customers.C.Spare some time regularly for creative thinking alone.D.Continue his work contacts with his customers.Reducing plastic waste isn't easy because the cheap material is found in almost every household item. Now, a delicious and nutritious solution has come up to help reduce our dependence on this environmental hazard.David Christian, the co-founder of Evoware, says the idea of creating the biodegradable (生物降解的) products came from concern at the coun try’s high pollution rate. Indonesia is home to four of the world's worst polluted rivers. Since single-use packaging is a large contributor to the problem, Evoware decided to deal with that first.After investigating various materials, the company settled on seaweed. Unlike corn,commonly used for biodegradable containers, seaweed does not require resources like water or large amounts of space. Since Indonesian farmers already harvest more seaweed than they can sell, it's easy for the company to find the material.Though they will not reveal their production process, Evoware says the seaweed packaging contains no chemicals and is safe to consume. The company has also invented single-use cups, which can break down 30 days after they're thrown away.While replacing plastic with the seaweed products may seem appealing to most of us, it is a hard-sell in Indonesia. According to Christian, ''The awareness to reduce single-use plastic is still very low. This makes our bioplastic unnecessary.” Also a facto r is the cost, which is higher than using plastic. Hopefully, Evoware will succeed in convincing Indonesians and people worldwide that switching to their products will be helpful to protecting our beautiful planet. 8.What problem did Evoware decide to deal with first?A.Ways to clean the four worst polluted rivers.B.What nutritious materials for people to use.C.How to deal with single-use packaging.D.Means to contribute to the country's economy.9.Why did Evoware choose seaweed?A.It didn't require much space and was easy to get.B.It could be found everywhere in his country.C.It was most commonly used for packaging.D.It grew thickly in most of the polluted rivers.10.What can we infer from Christian's words?A.Their seaweed products have won government support.B.Sometimes it's hard to get people to reduce the use of plastics.C.Their new products have received worldwide popularity.D.The cost of making seaweed products will be lowered soon.11.What does the underlined word ''hard-sell'' in Paragraph 5 refer to?A.Something lasting long. B.Something hard to accept. C.Something easy to get. D.Something commonly seen.Naturally, parents praise their kids. They want to encourage their children every day. But when it comes to building self-esteem (自尊) i n children, praise doesn’t always have apositive effect, according to a special edition of the journal Child Development. The issue, edited by Eddie and Thomas, is focused on research into how children develop a sense of self and building your child’s con fidence takes different skills than you might think.Eddie points out that children are born without a sense of self, but it doesn’t take long before some kids have a lot of confidence and may feel superior to peers, while others may carry more self-doubt and see themselves as inferior. Yet no one really understands what causes children to view themselves the way they do. Surprisingly little is known about the origins of children’s self-concept,” Eddie said.Research has found that when kids have a warm, loving relationship with their parents, they develop higher self-esteem. However, when they are given endless praise that is inequal to their achievements, their self-esteem may drop.Instead of lavish praise, parents should focus on warmth to build self-esteem, researchers have found—specifically, parents should show interest in their kids’ activities and share joy with them. This makes children feel noticed and valued. According to Eddie’s own research, children may develop lower self-esteem when their parents give them lots of positive and overstated praises. Too much praise can make children worry about disappointing their parents, and may lead to an unhealthy attitude toward failure. Other studies suggest that parents can teach children that failure is be neficial by encouraging kids to ask themselves: “Why didn’t I achieve the result I wanted, and what can I do to change the outcome in the future?”Additionally, it’s important for parents to encourage the belief that kids can develop basic abilities through devotion and hard work. Kids who are praised for their effort instead of their ability are more likely to develop a growth mindset, which have a positive impact on their confidence.12.What does the special edition of Child Development focus on?A.When is the best time to build a child’s self-esteem.B.What effect praise has on a child’s self understanding.C.How children develop their sense of self-esteem.D.How blaming and overpraise hurt a child’s comfidence.13.How does too much praise hurt children’s self-esteem?A.They’ll be afraid of failing and disappointing their parents.B.They’ll have a false understanding of their ability and fail.C.They’ll become too proud to get along with other children.D.They’ll focus more on their advantages than their weaknesses.14.What can we infer from the last paragraph?A.Children’s effort will help build their confidence.B.Children should he taught the value of hard work.C.Praising a child’s ability will make them happier.D.Some parents doubt if kids can develop their abilities.15.Which of the following is the passage mainly about?A.Praising a child for any reason helps build his self-esteem.B.How kids develop their sense of self-esteem differently.C.Why some kids have more self-doubt than the others.D.Participation and encouragement build a kid’s self-esteem.二、七选五How to Age WellGetting older is inevitable, but you can slow the decline of aging with smart choices along the way. From the foods you eat and how you exercise to your friendships, it all has an effect on how fast or slow your body ages.16.Lose just a little bit of weight.Small changes in body weight can have a big impact on health risks.17.While we’d love to lose our extra pounds, it’s easier to start with a 5 percent weight loss goal and keep on.Avoid processed meat.18.A number of studies have found associations between eating a lot of processed meats and poor health. Other research has implicated processed meats in a higher risk for cancer. But there was no increase in risk associated with eating unprocessed red meat.19.The best eating strategy for aging well is to skip processed foods and drinks. That will immediately reduce added sugars from your diet. Once you cut out packaged foods, you will start eating a lot more fruits and vegetables, lean meats and fish and whole grains.20.Meanwhile, invest in a new pair of walking shoes, a gym membership or a delicious healthy meal with your family and oilier loved ones. All of those are likely to do much for your emotional and physical health.A.Skip packaged foods.B.Save the money you would spend on rich food.C.And the good news is that it’s never too late to get started.D.This has been shown in numerous studies to be good for you.E.There’s some evidence that vitamin B12 is good for the aging brain.F.Losing just 5 percent of your body weight has been shown to reduce your risk for diabetes and heart disease.G.Processed meals like hot dogs and sausages have been salted, cured or smoked to improve preservation.三、完形填空Nancy was visiting Dr. Stephen.

guests on the sofa every morning,but she is cooking up a storm in her latest role ﹣showing families how to prepare delicious and nutritious meals on a tight budget.In Save Money:Good Food,she visits a different home each week and with the help of chef Matt Tebbutt offers top tips on how to reduce food waste,while preparing recipes for under £5 per family a day.And the Good Morning Britain presenter says she's been able to put a lot of what she's learnt into practice in her own home,preparing meals for sons,Sam,14,Finn,13,and Jack,11."We love Mexican churros,so I buy them on my phone from my local Mexican takeaway restaurant,'' she explains,"I pay £5 for a portion(一份),but Matt makes them for 26p a portion,because they are flour,water,sugar and oil.Everybody can buy takeaway food,but sometimes we're not aware how cheaply we can make this food ourselves."The eight﹣part series (系列节目),Save Money:Good Food,follows in the footsteps of ITV's Save Money:Good Health,which gave viewers advice on how to get value from the vast range of health products on the market.With food our biggest weekly household expense.Susanna and Matt spend time with a different family each week.In

can be a suitable title for the text?A.Keeping Fit by Eating SmartB.Balancing Our Daily DietC.Making Yourself a Perfect ChefD.Cooking Well for Less13.(8.00分)CLanguages have been coming and going for thousands of years,but in recent times there has been less coming and a lot more going.When the world was still populated by hunter﹣gatherers,small,tightly knit (联系)groups developed their own patterns of speech independent of each other.Some language experts believe that 10,000 years ago,when the world had just five to ten million people,they spoke perhaps 12,000 languages between them.Soon afterwards,many of those people started settling down to become farmers,and their languages too became more settled and fewer in number.In recent centuries,trade,industrialisation,the development of the nation﹣state and the spread of universal compulsory education,especially globalisation andbetter communications in the past few decades,all have caused many languages to disappear,and dominant languages such as English,Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking over.At present,the world has about 6,800 languages.The distribution of these languages is hugely uneven.The general rule is that mild zones have relatively few languages,often spoken by many people,while hot,wet zones have lots,often spoken by small numbers.Europe has only around 200 languages;the Americas about 1,000;Africa 2,400;and Asia and the Pacific perhaps 3,200,of which Papua New Guinea alone accounts for well over 800.The median number (中位数)of speakers is a mere 6,000,which means that half the world's languages are spoken by fewer people than that.Already well over 400 of the total of 6,800 languages are close to extinction (消亡),with only a few elderly speakers left.Pick,at random,Busuu in Cameroon (eight remaining speakers),Chiapaneco in Mexico (150),Lipan Apache in the United States (two or three)or Wadjigu in Australia (one,with a question﹣mark):none of these seems to have much chance of survival.(1)What can we infer about languages in hunter﹣gatherer times?A.They developed very fast.B.They were large in number.C.They had similar patterns.D.They were closely connected.(2)Which of the following best explains "dominant" underlined in paragraph 2?A.Complex.B.Advanced.C.Powerful.D.Modern.(3)How many languages are spoken by less than 6,000 people at present?A.About 6,800.B.About 3,400.C.About 2,400.D.About 1,200.(4)What is the main idea of the text?A.New languages will be created.B.People's lifestyles are reflected in languages.C.Human development results in fewer languages.D.Geography determines language evolution.14.(8.00分)DWe may think we're a culture that gets rid of our worn technology at the first sight of something shiny and new,but a new study shows that we keep using our old devices (装置)well after they go out of style.That's bad news for the environment ﹣and our wallets ﹣as these outdated devices consume much more energy than the newer ones that do the same things.To figure out how much power these devices are using,Callie Babbitt and her colleagues at the Rochester Institute of Technology in New York tracked the environmental costs for each product throughout its life ﹣from when its minerals are mined to when we stop using the device.This method provided a readout for how home energy use has evolved since the early 1990s.Devices were grouped by generation.Desktop computers,basic mobile phones,and box﹣set TVs defined 1992.Digital cameras arrived on the scene in 1997.And MP3 players,smart phones,and LCD TVs entered homes in 2002,before tablets and e﹣readers showed up in 2007.As we accumulated more devices,however,we didn't throw out our old ones."The living﹣room television is replaced and gets planted in the kids' room,and suddenly one day,you have a TV in every room of the house," said one researcher.The average number of electronic devices rose from four per household in 1992 to 13 in 2007.We're not just keeping these old devices﹣we continue touse them.According to the analysis of Babbitt's team,old desktop monitors and box TVs with cathode ray tubes are the worst devices with their energy consumption and contribution to greenhouse gas emissions (排放)more than doubling during the 1992 to 2007 window.So what's the solution(解决方案)?The team's data only went up to 2007,but the researchers also explored what would happen if consumers replaced old products with new electronics that serve more than one function,such as a tablet for word processing and TV viewing.They found that more on﹣demand entertainment viewing on tablets instead of TVs and desktop computers could cut energy consumption by 44%.(1)What does the author think of new devices?A.They are environment﹣friendly.B.They are no better than the old.C.They cost more to use at home.D.They go out of style quickly.(2)Why did Babbitt's team conduct the research?A.To reduce the cost of minerals.B.To test the life cycle of a product.C.To update consumers on new technology.D.To find out electricity consumption of the devices.(3)Which of the following uses the least energy?A.The box﹣set TV.B.The tablet.C.The LCD TV.D.The desktop computer.(4)What does the text suggest people do about old electronic devices?A.Stop using them.B.Take them apart.C.Upgrade them.D.Recycle them.第二节(毎小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项.选项中有两项为多余选项。

On January 15, 2018, Americans celebrated Martin Luther King Day to honor the great man who led the African﹣American Civil Rights Movement. It is largely thanks to his efforts that America is, today, the land of opportunity for all.King was born inAtlanta, GA, where racial discrimination was a way of life. Not knowing any better, he accepted it as the way of life. It was only when King went to work in Hartford, CT that he realized race relations were very different in the Northern States. In a letter to his father, the young boy wrote, " After we passed Washington, there was no discrimination at all. The white people here were very nice. We could go to any place we wanted to and sit anywhere we wanted to." ________.King’s action began when he led a group to protest the arrest of activist (积极分子)Rosa Parks for refusing to offer her bus seat to a white man. King urged all African Americans in Montgomery to protest public transport. Despite having no other means of getting around, they accepted the challenge, not for a day or month, but for over a year! As the news spread, African Americans from other states joined in, leading to the first ever united fight against racial discrimination. Finally, the Supreme Court of the United States passed the law to end separation on public buses and trains.King spent the next ten years encouraging people to fight against the injustice in a peaceful manner. In the now﹣famous I Have A Dream speech, he spoke about his desire to live in a country where everyone was equal. This amazing man showed the world that dreams, no matter how impossible, could come true. As you celebrate the holiday, reflect on the one thing that you want the most, and start taking action to make it come true.(1)What led King to be aware that his way of life was no longer acceptable?________ A.His desire to live in Washington.B.The limitation of his life in Washington.C.Racial discrimination in the Northern States.D.Admirable conditions of the Black in the Northern States.(2)What does the underlined sentence mean in Paragraph 2?________A.King wanted to sow seeds in the field.B.King had the thought of removing the injustice.C.King expected to get whatever he sought after.D.King envied the freedom the black people in Washington enjoyed.(3)According to Paragraph 3, which of the following statements is TRUE?________A.African Americans supported King actively regardless of inconvenience in life.B.The movement King led was fruitless.C.Montgomery was the only city to participate in the protest.D.Rosa Parks was under arrest because of her impoliteness.(4)Which proverb below can best describe what King showed to us?________A.A good beginning is half done.B.Don’t put off till tomorrow what should be done today.C.Great minds think alike.D.Never let the reality get in the way of your dreams.【答案】DBAD【考点】阅读理解综合【解析】该文章是社会文化类的短文阅读.主要通过缅怀马丁路德金来回顾了他为国家的黑人争取同白人同等权利的奋斗历程,虽然艰辛,但却很值得,很有意义,要求我们不要被眼前的困难现实给吓到了.【解答】(1) D.细节理解题.根据第一段中 It was only when King went to work in Hartford,CT that he realized race relations were very different in the Northern States.可知,当他见证了北方黑人的自由时,他意识到自己地方的黑人权利是不可接受的;故选D.(2) B.句意理解题.由前面的句子内容" After we passed Washington, there was no discrimination at all. The white people here were very nice. We could go to any place we wanted to and sit anywhere we wanted to." 可知,指的是改变黑人受到的不公正待遇的这一想法;故选B.(3) A.推理判断题.由第三句Despite having no other means of getting around, they accepted the challenge, not for a day or month, but for over a year! 可知,尽管有不便,但是大多数人还是支持金的倡议的;故A正确.最后一句Finally, the Supreme Courtof the United States passed the law to end separation on public buses and trains.说明,斗争有效果,B项错误.第四句As the news spread, African Americans from other states joined in,说明C项错误.开头第一句King’s action began when he led a group to protest the arrest of activist (积极分子) Rosa Parks for refusing to offer her bus seat to a white man.说明是从逮捕Rosa Parks这一事件开始的抗议活动,并没有提到Rosa Parks被逮捕了,D项错误.故选A.(4) D.标题总结题.根据文章的内容描述和最后一句 As you celebrate the holiday,reflect on the one thing that you want the most, and start taking action to make it come true.可知,争取黑人同白人同等权利的过程是艰苦的,也是有意义的,即不要让眼前的现实给阻挡了前进的脚步;故选D项最符合文章的核心内容.其他几项都偏离了本文的中心.3. The 4th World Internet Conference was held in Wuzhen, China from Dec. 3rd to5th, 2017. The famous tourist town is now using facial recognition technology to act as its entry pass through the gates of the attraction. That means the days of having to remember your ID could soon be a thing of the past. The system uses cameras to notice people as they approach the entry, and checks these against a database of registered visitors within a few seconds. The technology is thought to be up to 99.77 percent accurate and able to distinguish people better than a human.Wuzhen is a popular tourist town with visitors going there in large numbers to see its stunning (富有魅力的) river system and museums. Baidu, a web firm often referred to as " Chinese Google", created the system. When people now check in to their accommodation, they will have their photo taken and uploaded to a central database. Upon leaving and re﹣entering the town, the system will re﹣check that they are still a guest at a hotel, before allowing them back in.The technology is being used to track the 5, 000 visitors that stay in the town’s hotel every day. Yuanqing Lin, director of the Institute of deep Learning at Baidu, told The Verge, " With our technology, you don’t need to give your ID. When you are approaching a gate, it will take a photo of you and compare that photo to the database." Wuzhen used to monitor its visitors using a ticket﹣entry system, but this could easily be abused. It was discovered that some people were sharing their tickets to avoid paying.Baidu’s system is based on neural networks (神经网络), which can process huge amounts of data﹣more than one billion faces. As well as recognizing faces, the system can also discover facial movements, so it can’t be fooled by someone holding up a mask. Baidu is also using the software for employee entry at its Beijing headquarters.(1)What can we know about the system of facial recognition in the first two paragraphs?________A.It was invented by Google Company.B.It takes long to check the identity of visitors.C.It makes fewer mistakes than a human in distinguishing people.D.It attracts more tourists to visit Wuzhen.(2)The drawback of the former ticket﹣entry system lies in________.A.escaping paying easily.B.abusing authority.C.leaking personal information.D.having difficulty sharing.(3)According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?________A.The new system can’t recognize people wearing masks.B.Wuzhen is the only place in China using the software at the entry.C.If you smile or make faces, the system can identify you effectively.D.The registered visitors of Wuzhen must show their ID cards before re﹣entering the town.(4)Which of the two words can best describe the features of the new system?________A.Conventional and handy.B.Advanced and reliable.C.Costly but productive.D.Conservative but promising.【答案】CACB【考点】完形综合阅读理解综合【解析】本文是一篇新闻报道类阅读,文章主要介绍了第四届世界互联网大会于2017年12月3日至5日在中国乌镇举行.这个著名的旅游小镇现在正在使用面部识别技术,以通过吸引人的大门.这意味着,必须记住你的身份证的日子很快就会成为过去.该系统使用摄像头在用户接近入口时注意到他们,并在几秒钟内对注册访问者的数据库进行检查.这项技术被认为达到了99.77%的准确度,并且能够比人类更好地分辨出人类.【解答】(1)C.细节理解题.根据"The technology is thought to be up to 99.77 percent accurate and able to distinguish people better than a human.’可知人脸识别系统在辨别人方面,它犯的错误比人少.故选C.(2)A.细节理解题.根据"It was discovered that some people were sharing their tickets to avoid paying.’可知以前的票务系统的缺点在于容易逃避支付.故选A.(3)C.推理判断题.根据"As well as recognizing faces, the system can also discover facial movements,so it can’t be fooled by someone holding up a mask.’可知如果你微笑或做鬼脸,系统就能有效地识别你.故选C.(4)B.推理判断题.根据"The system uses cameras to notice people as they approach the entry, and checks these against a database of registered visitors within a few seconds. The technology is thought to be up to 99.77 percent accurate and able to distinguish people better than a human.’可知先进的和可靠最能描述新系统的特点.故选B.4. As we all know, Trump was elected the 45th President of the United States in 2016 by voting. In the USA, the legal voting age is 18. Though some Americans have expressed interest in raising the voting age, saying that these important decisions should not be left in the hands of a teenager, I disagree. I believe that those who are 18 years old are ready to take on the responsibility for voting.In the United States, 18 is the age when an individual is considered an adult by the government. Being an adult in the eyes of the law is quite different than simply being a teenager. Punishments for illegal activities become much heavier. Additionally, at 18, an individual can join the army without receiving permission from his parents to doso. So, when a citizen turns 18, the politics of the country start affecting him in a completely different way. It is ________ to let one lead a severer lifestyle and not allowhim any choice in the matter.Furthermore, by allowing a teenager to vote, we are helping to ensure that he will become more politically minded at a younger age.I didn’t care at all about the politics ofmy country when I couldn’t vote.As I couldn’t do anything about the politics at the time, I couldn’t see why I should care.It wasn’t until I turned 18years of age that I started actively trying to understand who ran my government and the way in which it was governed. By allowing 18﹣year﹣olds to vote, we are getting them engaged in the world of politics much sooner.In addition, teenagers today are much smarter than we think.Today’s society is much more technologically advanced than it was in the past. Teenagers have access to all kindsof information through the Internet and their smartphones. So, teenagers have enough knowledge to make decisions.Therefore, I think 18is indeed a proper age to make important political decisions andthose who are 18should be allowed to make important decisions that will affect their nation.(1)What can you infer from the first paragraph?________A.Trump won the election by a majority of votes in 2016.B.Many Americans have lost their interest in voting for the president.C.The author takes an ambiguous attitude towards raising the voting age.D.Some Americans don’t think the teenagers are mature en ough to take the voting responsibility.(2)The underlined word “inequitable” in Paragraph 2 is closest to________ in meaning.A.incredible. B.unfair.C.abnormal.D.discouraging.(3)Why does the author think teenagers today are much smarter than we expect?________A.They are well﹣informed.B.They are sharp﹣minded.C.They are well equipped with knowledge at school.D.They are involved in the political world much sooner.(4)What is the passage mainly about?________A.Different views on raising the voting age among Americans.B.Arguing against raising the voting age.C.The benefits of American voting system.D.The significance of 18 years of age in life.【答案】DBAB【考点】阅读理解综合【解析】本文是一篇科教类阅读,文章主要介绍了众所周知,特朗普在2016年以投票方式当选美国第45任总统.在美国,法定投票年龄是18岁.尽管一些美国人对提高投票年龄表示了兴趣,但我不同意这些重要的决定不应该留给一个十几岁的孩子.我相信那些18岁的人已经准备好承担投票的责任.【解答】(1)D.细节理解题.根据"Though some Americans have expressed interest in raising the voting age, saying that these important decisions should not be left in the hands of a teenager, I disagree.’可知有些美国人认为青少年不够成熟,不能承担投票的责任.故选D.(2)B.词义猜测题.根据"‘It is inequitable to let one lead a severer lifestyle and not allow him any choice in the matter“让一个人过一种更严重的生活方式是不公平的,不允许他在这件事上有任何选择.”.可知“inequitable”意为"不公平的’.故选B.(3)A.推理判断题.根据"In addition, teenagers today are much smarter than we think.Today’s society is much more technologically advanced than it was in thepast. Teenagers have access to all kinds of information through the Internet and their smartphones. So, teenagers have enough knowledge to make decisions.’可知作者认为当今的青少年比我们想象的要聪明得多因为他们是消息灵通的.故选A.(4)B.推理判断题.根据"Furthermore, by allowing a teenager to vote, we are helping to ensure that he will become more politically minded at a younger age.’可知文章主要介绍了反对提高选举年龄.故选B.第二节(满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余.The winter vacation during the senior year of high school can be a stressful time for students.(1)_______They may also be feeling sad that time with family and friends having a relaxation. Here are some wise ways to spend the last winter vacation of high school.Start practicing responsibilities. After you enter college, you have to do a lot of things on your own.(2)_______Although some may just want to spend winter break sleeping and relaxing,it’s the right time fo r you to begin taking on some household tasks. You should start doing laundry and more things on your own. In this way, you can learn to become responsible.For students who haven’t decided on a major, the last winter vacation of high school can be an opportunity to explore their interests.Students are often told they’ll have time to decide on a major once they get to college. However, the last winter break might be the freest time they’ll have for a while.(3)_______Besides a major, you also need to decide on a school. This is a great time to go on more campus visits.(4)_______Take another visit to ensure you’re making the right choice.

I felt so comfortably with them that I recommended them to my friends. Therefore, soon we were forbidden to wear them at school because it was against the school rules. I had to wear them after school but I still felt happy. From the experience, I know follow a trend makes us satisfied but we should think about if the situation is appropriate while doing it.【答案】Most teenagers like to follow fashion trends. I myself had such︿experience. When I was in SeniorOne, I became fond of TV plays that many actors and actresses wore glasses without eyeglass(镜片).

I had to wear them after school but I still felt happy. From the experience, I know follow a trend makes us satisfied but we should think about if the situation is appropriate while doing it.解析1. experience前加an.本句的experience表示“经历”,是可数名词,所以用不定冠词an修饰,表示“一次经历”.2. that﹣﹣﹣where.考查定语从句的关系词.先行词TV plays在定语从句many actors and actresses wore glasses without eyeglass做抽象的地点状语,所以关系词用where.3. him﹣﹣﹣them.考查代词一致.代指 many actors and actresses 用them.4.去掉like.考查固定短语.本句表示“戴着眼镜会看起来很酷”,而look like 表示“看起来像”,所以去掉like.。

Morning Britain's Susanna Reid is used to grilling guests on the sofa every morning,but she is cooking up a storm in her latest role ﹣showing families how to prepare delicious and nutritious meals on a tight budget.In Save Money:Good Food,she visits a different home each week and with the help of chef Matt Tebbutt offers top tips on how to reduce food waste,while preparing recipes for under £5 per family a day.And the Good Morning Britain presenter says she's been able to put a lot of what she's learnt into practice in her own home,preparing meals for sons,Sam,14,Finn,13,and Jack,11."We love Mexican churros,so I buy them on my phone from my local Mexican takeaway restaurant,'' she explains,"I pay £5 for a portion(一份),but Matt makes them for 26p a portion,because they are flour,water,sugar and oil.Everybody can buy takeaway food,but sometimes we're not aware how cheaply we can make this food ourselves."The eight﹣part series (系列节目),Save Money:Good Food,follows in the footsteps of ITV's Save Money:Good Health,which gave viewers advice on how to get value from the vast range of health products on the market.With food our biggest weekly household expense.Susanna and Matt spend time with a different family each week.In tonight's Easter special they come to the aid of a family in need of some delicious inspiration on a budget.The team transforms the family's long weekend of celebration with less expensive but still tasty recipes.(1)What do we know about Susanna Reid?A.She enjoys embarrassing her guests.B.She has started a new programme.C.She dislikes working early in the

information.D.Introduce a new topic for discussion.(4)What can be a suitable title for the text?A.Keeping Fit by Eating SmartB.Balancing Our Daily DietC.Making Yourself a Perfect ChefD.Cooking Well for Less13.(8.00分)CLanguages have been coming and going for thousands of years,but in recent times there has been less coming and a lot more going.When the world was still populated by hunter﹣gatherers,small,tightly knit (联系)groups developed their own patterns of speech independent of each other.Some language experts believe that 10,000 years ago,when the world had just five to ten million people,they spoke perhaps 12,000 languages between them.Soon afterwards,many of those people started settling down to become farmers,and their languages too became more settled and fewer in number.In recent centuries,trade,industrialisation,the development of the nation﹣state and the spread of universal compulsory education,especially globalisation and better communications in the past few decades,all have caused many languages to disappear,and dominant languages such as English,Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking over.At present,the world has about 6,800 languages.The distribution of these languages is hugely uneven.The general rule is that mild zones have relatively few languages,often spoken by many people,while hot,wet zones have lots,often spoken by small numbers.Europe has only around 200 languages;the Americas about 1,000;Africa 2,400;and Asia and the Pacific perhaps 3,200,of which Papua New Guinea alone accounts for well over 800.The median number (中位数)of speakers is a mere 6,000,which means that half the world's languages are spoken by fewer people than that.Already well over 400 of the total of 6,800 languages are close to extinction (消亡),with only a few elderly speakers left.Pick,at random,Busuu in Cameroon (eight remaining speakers),Chiapaneco in Mexico (150),Lipan Apache in the United States (two or three)or Wadjigu in Australia (one,with a question﹣mark):none of these seems to have much chance of survival.(1)What can we infer about languages in hunter﹣gatherer times?A.They developed very fast.B.They were large in number.C.They had similar patterns.D.They were closely connected.(2)Which of the following best explains "dominant" underlined in paragraph 2?A.Complex.B.Advanced.C.Powerful.D.Modern.(3)How many languages are spoken by less than 6,000 people at present?A.About 6,800.B.About 3,400.C.About 2,400.D.About 1,200.(4)What is the main idea of the text?A.New languages will be created.B.People's lifestyles are reflected in languages.C.Human development results in fewer languages.D.Geography determines language evolution.14.(8.00分)DWe may think we're a culture that gets rid of our worn technology at the first sight of something shiny and new,but a new study shows that we keep using our old devices (装置)well after they go out of style.That's bad news for the environment ﹣and our wallets ﹣as these outdated devices consume much more energy than the newer ones that do the same things.To figure out how much power these devices are using,Callie Babbitt and her colleagues at the Rochester Institute of Technology in New York tracked the environmental costs for each product throughout its life ﹣from when its minerals are mined to when we stop using the device.This method provided a readout for how home energy use has evolved since the early 1990s.Devices were grouped by generation.Desktop computers,basic mobile phones,and box﹣set TVs defined 1992.Digital cameras arrived on the scene in 1997.And MP3 players,smart phones,and LCD TVs entered homes in 2002,before tablets and e﹣readers showed up in 2007.As we accumulated more devices,however,we didn't throw out our old ones."The living﹣room television is replaced and gets planted in the kids' room,and suddenly one day,you have a TV in every room of the house," said one researcher.The average number of electronic devices rose from four per household in 1992 to 13 in 2007.We're not just keeping these old devices﹣we continue to use them.According to the analysis of Babbitt's team,old desktop monitors and box TVs with cathode ray tubes are the worst devices with their energy consumption and contribution to greenhouse gas emissions (排放)more than doubling during the 1992 to 2007 window.So what's the solution(解决方案)?The team's data only went up to 2007,but the researchers also explored what would happen if consumers replaced old products with newelectronics that serve more than one function,such as a tablet for word processing and TV viewing.They found that more on﹣demand entertainment viewing on tablets instead of TVs and desktop computers could cut energy consumption by 44%.(1)What does the author think of new devices?A.They are environment﹣friendly.B.They are no better than the old.C.They cost more to use at home.D.They go out of style quickly.(2)Why did Babbitt's team conduct the research?A.To reduce the cost of minerals.B.To test the life cycle of a product.C.To update consumers on new technology.D.To find out electricity consumption of the devices.(3)Which of the following uses the least energy?A.The box﹣set TV.B.The tablet.C.The LCD TV.D.The desktop computer.(4)What does the text suggest people do about old electronic devices?A.Stop using them.B.Take them apart.C.Upgrade them.D.Recycle them.第二节(毎小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项.选项中有两项为多余选项。

different home each week and with the help of chef Matt Tebbutt offers top tips on how to reduce food waste,while preparing recipes for under £5 per family a day.And the Good Morning Britain presenter says she's been able to put a lot of what she's learnt into practice in her own home,preparing meals for sons,Sam,14,Finn,13,and Jack,11."We love Mexican churros,so I buy them on my phone from my local Mexican takeaway restaurant,'' she explains,"I pay £5 for a portion(一份),but Matt makes them for 26p a portion,because they are flour,water,sugar and oil.Everybody can buy takeaway food,but sometimes we're not aware how cheaply we can make this food ourselves."The eight﹣part series (系列节目),Save Money:Good Food,follows in the footsteps of ITV's Save Money:Good Health,which gave viewers advice on how to get value from the vast range of health products on the market.With food our biggest weekly household expense.Susanna and Matt spend time with a different family each week.In tonight's Easter special they come to the aid of a family in need of some delicious inspiration on a budget.The team transforms the family's long weekend of celebration with less expensive but still tasty recipes.(1)What do we know about Susanna Reid?A.She enjoys embarrassing her guests.B.She has started a new programme.C.She dislikes working early in the morning.D.She has had a tight budget for

does the author intend to do in paragraph 4?A.Summarize the previous paragraphs.B.Provide some advice for the readers.C.Add some background information.D.Introduce a new topic for discussion.(4)What can be a suitable title for the text?A.Keeping Fit by Eating SmartB.Balancing Our Daily DietC.Making Yourself a Perfect ChefD.Cooking Well for Less13.(8.00分)CLanguages have been coming and going for thousands of years,but in recent times there has been less coming and a lot more going.When the world was still populated by hunter﹣gatherers,small,tightly knit (联系)groups developed their own patterns of speech independent of each other.Some language experts believe that 10,000 years ago,when the world had just five to ten million people,they spoke perhaps 12,000 languages between them.Soon afterwards,many of those people started settling down to become farmers,and their languages too became more settled and fewer in number.In recent centuries,trade,industrialisation,the development of the nation﹣state and the spread of universal compulsory education,especially globalisation andbetter communications in the past few decades,all have caused many languages to disappear,and dominant languages such as English,Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking over.At present,the world has about 6,800 languages.The distribution of these languages is hugely uneven.The general rule is that mild zones have relatively few languages,often spoken by many people,while hot,wet zones have lots,often spoken by small numbers.Europe has only around 200 languages;the Americas about 1,000;Africa 2,400;and Asia and the Pacific perhaps 3,200,of which Papua New Guinea alone accounts for well over 800.The median number (中位数)of speakers is a mere 6,000,which means that half the world's languages are spoken by fewer people than that.Already well over 400 of the total of 6,800 languages are close to extinction (消亡),with only a few elderly speakers left.Pick,at random,Busuu in Cameroon (eight remaining speakers),Chiapaneco in Mexico (150),Lipan Apache in the United States (two or three)or Wadjigu in Australia (one,with a question﹣mark):none of these seems to have much chance of survival.(1)What can we infer about languages in hunter﹣gatherer times?A.They developed very fast.B.They were large in number.C.They had similar patterns.D.They were closely connected.(2)Which of the following best explains "dominant" underlined in paragraph 2?A.Complex.B.Advanced.C.Powerful.D.Modern.(3)How many languages are spoken by less than 6,000 people at present?A.About 6,800.B.About 3,400.C.About 2,400.D.About 1,200.(4)What is the main idea of the text?A.New languages will be created.B.People's lifestyles are reflected in languages.C.Human development results in fewer languages.D.Geography determines language evolution.14.(8.00分)DWe may think we're a culture that gets rid of our worn technology at the first sight of something shiny and new,but a new study shows that we keep using our old devices (装置)well after they go out of style.That's bad news for the environment ﹣and our wallets ﹣as these outdated devices consume much more energy than the newer ones that do the same things.To figure out how much power these devices are using,Callie Babbitt and her colleagues at the Rochester Institute of Technology in New York tracked the environmental costs for each product throughout its life ﹣from when its minerals are mined to when we stop using the device.This method provided a readout for how home energy use has evolved since the early 1990s.Devices were grouped by generation.Desktop computers,basic mobile phones,and box﹣set TVs defined 1992.Digital cameras arrived on the scene in 1997.And MP3 players,smart phones,and LCD TVs entered homes in 2002,before tablets and e﹣readers showed up in 2007.As we accumulated more devices,however,we didn't throw out our old ones."The living﹣room television is replaced and gets planted in the kids' room,and suddenly one day,you have a TV in every room of the house," said one researcher.The average number of electronic devices rose from four per household in 1992 to 13 in 2007.We're not just keeping these old devices﹣we continue touse them.According to the analysis of Babbitt's team,old desktop monitors and box TVs with cathode ray tubes are the worst devices with their energy consumption and contribution to greenhouse gas emissions (排放)more than doubling during the 1992 to 2007 window.So what's the solution(解决方案)?The team's data only went up to 2007,but the researchers also explored what would happen if consumers replaced old products with new electronics that serve more than one function,such as a tablet for word processing and TV viewing.They found that more on﹣demand entertainment viewing on tablets instead of TVs and desktop computers could cut energy consumption by 44%.(1)What does the author think of new devices?A.They are environment﹣friendly.B.They are no better than the old.C.They cost more to use at home.D.They go out of style quickly.(2)Why did Babbitt's team conduct the research?A.To reduce the cost of minerals.B.To test the life cycle of a product.C.To update consumers on new technology.D.To find out electricity consumption of the devices.(3)Which of the following uses the least energy?A.The box﹣set TV.B.The tablet.C.The LCD TV.D.The desktop computer.(4)What does the text suggest people do about old electronic devices?A.Stop using them.B.Take them apart.C.Upgrade them.D.Recycle them.第二节(毎小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项.选项中有两项为多余选项。

It is largely thanks to his efforts that America is, today, the land of opportunity for all.King was born in Atlanta, GA, where racialdiscrimination was a way of life. Not knowing any better,he accepted it as the way of life. It was only when Kingwent to work in Hartford, CT that he realized race relationswere very different in the Northern States. In a letter to hisfather, the young boy wrote, “ After we passed Washington, there was no discrimination at all. The white people here were very nice. We could go to any place we wanted to and sit anywhere we wanted to.” The seed was planted.King’s action began when he led a group to protest the arrest of activist (积极分子) Rosa Parks for refusing to offer her bus seat to a white man. King urged all African Americans in Montgomery to protest public transport. Despite having no other means of getting around, they accepted the challenge, not for a day or month, but for over a year! As the news spread, African Americans from other states joined in, leading to the first ever united fight against racial discrimination. Finally, the Supreme Court of the United States passed the law to endseparation on public buses and trains.King spent the next ten years encouraging people to fight against the injustice in a peaceful manner. In the now-famous I Have A Dream speech, he spoke about his desire to live in a country where everyone was equal. This amazing man showed the world that dreams, no matter how impossible, could come true. As you celebrate the holiday, reflect on the one thing that you want the most, and start taking action to make it come true.24. What led King to be aware that his way of life was no longer acceptable?A. His desire to live in Washington.B. The limitation of his life in Washington.C. Racial discrimination in the Northern States.D. Admirable conditions of the Black in the Northern States.25. What does the underlined sentence mean in Paragraph 2?A. King wanted to sow seeds in the field.B. King had the thought of removing the injustice.C. King expected to get whatever he sought after.D. King envied the freedom the black people in Washington enjoyed.26. According to Paragraph 3, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. African Americans supported King actively regardless of inconvenience in life.B. The movement King led was fruitless.C. Montgomery was the only city to participate in the protest.D. Rosa Parks was under arrest because of her impoliteness.27. Which proverb below can best describe what King showed to us?A. A good beginning is half done.B. Don’t put off till tomorrow what should be done today.C. Great minds think alike.D. Never let the reality get in the way of your dreams.CThe 4th World Internet Conference was held in Wuzhen, China from Dec. 3rd to 5th, 2017. The famous tourist town is now using facial recognition technology to act as its entry pass through the gates of the attraction. That means the days of having to remember your ID could soon be a thing of the past. The system uses cameras to notice people as they approach the entry, and checks these against a database of registered visitors within a few seconds. The technology is thought to be up to 99.77 percent accurate and able to distinguish people betterthan a human.Wuzhen is a popular tourist town with visitors going there in large numbers to see its stunning (富有魅力的) river system and museums. Baidu, a web firm often referred to as “ Chinese Google”, created the system. When people now check in to their accommodation, they will have their photo taken and uploaded to a central database. Upon leaving and re-entering the town, the system will re-check that they are still a guest at a hotel, before allowing them back in.The technology is being used to track the 5,000 visitors that stay in the town’s hotel every day. Yuanqing Lin, director of the Institute of deep Learning at Baidu, told The Verge, “ With our technology, you don’t need to give your ID. When you are approaching a gate, it will take a photo of you and compare that photo to the database.” Wuzhen used to monitor its visitors using a ticket-entry system, but this could easily be abused. It was discovered that some people were sharing their tickets to avoid paying.Baidu’s system is based on neural networks (神经网络), which can process huge amounts of data—more than one billion faces. As well as recognizing faces, the system can also discover facial movements, so it can’t be fooled by someone holding up a mask.Baidu is also using the software for employee entry at its Beijing headquarters.28. What can we know about the system of facial recognition in the first two paragraphs?A. It was invented by Google Company.B. It takes long to check the identity of visitors.C.

Though some Americans have expressed interest in raising the voting age, saying that these important decisions should not be left in the hands of a teenager, I disagree. I believe that those who are 18 years old are ready to take on the responsibility for voting.In the United States, 18 is the age when an individual is considered an adult by the government. Being an adult in the eyes of the law is quite different than simply being a teenager. Punishments for illegal activities become much heavier. Additionally, at 18, an individual can join the army without receiving permission from his parents to do so. So, when a citizen turns 18, the politics of the country start affecting him in a completely different way. It is inequitable to let one lead a severer lifestyle and not allow him any choice in the matter.Furthermore, by allowing a teenager to vote, we are helping to ensure that he will become more politically minded at a younger age. I didn’t care at all about the politics of my country when I couldn’t vote. As I couldn’t do anything about the politics at the time, I couldn’t see why I should care. It wasn’t until I turned 18 years of age that I started actively trying to understand who ran my government and the way in which it was governed. By allowing 18-year-olds to vote, we are getting them engaged in the world of politics much sooner.In addition, teenagers today are much smarter than we think. Today’s society is much more technologically advanced than it was in the past. Teenagers have access to all kinds of information through the Internet and their smartphones. So, teenagers have enough knowledge to make decisions.Therefore, I think 18 is indeed a proper age to make important political decisions and those who are 18 should be allowed to make important decisions that will affect their nation.32.
