In the summer of 2016, I gave a talk at a small conference in northernVirginia. I began by admitting that I’d never had a social-media account; I then outlined arguments for why other peopleshould consider removing social media from their lives. The event organizers uploaded the video of my talk to YouTube. Then it was shared repeatedly on Facebook and Instagram and, eventually, viewed more than five million times. I was both pleased and annoyed by the fact that my anti-social-media talk had found such a large audience on social media.
I think of this event as typical of the love-hate relationships many of us have with Facebook, Instagram, and other social-media platforms. On the one hand, we’ve grown cautious about the so-called attention economy, which, in the name of corporate(公司的) profits, destroys social life gradually and offends privacy. But we also benefit from social media and hesitate to break away from it completely. Not long ago, Imet a partner at a large law firm in Washington, D.C., who told me that she keeps Instagram on her phone because she misses her kids when she travels; looking through pictures of them makes her feel better.
In recent months, some of the biggest social-media companies, Facebook and Twitter, in particular, have promised various reforms. In March, Mark Zuckerberg announced a plan to move his platform toward private communication protected by end-to-end encryption(端对端加密); later that month, he put forward the establishment of a third-party group to set standards for acceptable content.
All of these approaches assume that the reformation of social media will be a complex, lengthy, and gradual process. But not everyone sees it that way. Alongside these official responses, a loose collective of developers that
calls itself the IndieWeb has been creating another alternative. They are developing their own social-media platforms, which they say will preserve what’s good about social media while getting rid of what’s bad. They hope to rebuild social media according to principles that are less corporate and more humane(人道的).
4. Why did the author feel annoyed when his video was spread online?
A. His video caused many arguments.
B. His video was shared without his permission.
C. His talk was opposed by a large amount of people.
D. His video’s popularity on social media is against his talk.
5. Why does the author mention the story of his partner in paragraph 2?
A. To prove that social media has some benefits.
B. To advise people to break away from social media.
C. To tell the negative effects social media may produce.
D. To describe people’s complicated relationships with social media.
6. What is the purpose of the reform made by some social-media companies?
A. To attract more users.
B. To improve network environment.
C. To make more profits.
D. To provide more convenientservice.
7. What does the IndieWeb intend to do?
A. Develop new social-media platforms.
B. Remove social media from people’s lives.
C. Improve the existing social-media principles.
D. Help social-media companies to make reformation.
C
In a recent survey of 2000 Americans, housecleaning was shown to have some mood-boosting effects — but that doesn't mean everybody is willing to do it.
The majority of respondents (受访者) said cleaning gave them a sense of accomplishment (65%) and helped them clear their mind (63%). Half of these adults said they are most often motivated to clean when they're happy. In fact, 63% of those surveyed find the experience of cleaning to be relaxing - even more so than getting fresh air (61%).
But that's not the only reason people clean. A big 70% admitted that tidying their home was a way of putting off having to do other things, with the average procrastinator (拖延者) using that trick four times a week. The
survey showed that 86% of respondents do feel on top of their housework, but the last deep clean of their kitchen happened over a week and a half ago. That's no surprise because the kitchen is most terrible of all.
Conducted by OnePoll on behalf of DishFish, the survey investigated people's attitudes toward dirty dishes and how they get through tricky task. More than two-thirds of people (69%) let their dishes pile up between washings with 20% saying “always” letting them be placed in the sink, which left them feeling stressed. More than any other room, the kitchen was rated as “very difficult” to cope with. And most people enjoy cleaning their toilet or taking out the garbage more than washing dishes by hand.
How do they get through it? 66% listen to music while they clean. 72% have a best-loved song that they sounded while tidying up their home, with “Uptown Funk,”“Read All About It” and “Work” being the three favorite tunes on America's cleaning playlist.
8. What is the result of the survey?
A. Housecleaning may contribute to a good mood to some extent.
B. Housecleaning may strengthen people's willingness to volunteer.
C. Housecleaning may cause anxiety and concern for some people.
D. Housecleaning may improve people's motivation to other housework.
9. What is the top reason why people undertake housecleaning?
A. They can entertain themselves.
B. They can take in fresh air.
C. They get a sense of achievement.
D. They can delay other things.
10. What are respondents' attitudes to dirty dishes?
A. Many would rather wash dishes than throw out the rubbish.
B. Half are under pressure with dirty dishes lying in the sink.
C. A quarter will let dirty dishes pile up after their meals.
D. Most prefer cleaning their toiletto washing dishes by hand.
11. What column does the text belong to?
A. Feature Story.
B. Family Life.
C. Scientific Hotspot.
D. Finance Focus.

For years, Zach Ault, a father of three, enjoyed being physically active. He was even training for a half-marathon. But in 2017, he took time off to recover from an infection. After recovering, he tried to continue his runs but could not complete them. He was not able to spend time with his children. He had to cut back his job. Even sleeping as much as 16 hours a day made no difference in his condition.
“His body had literally hijacked him and it wasn't going to allow him to push through, ” said Anne Ault, his wife. After months of testing, doctors announced their result-chronic fatigue syndrome, a disease that makes an individual feel extremely tired.
This fatigue lasts more than six months and becomes worse after any kind of physical exertion (费力活动). Patients may have difficulty standing upright. They also may have trouble thinking, often described as a “brain fog”. There are no approvedtreatments, or even tests to help with diagnosis. There is no way to predict who will recover and who will have a severe case that lasts for years.
Now the doctors at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) are conducting a unique study to learn more about the condition. Zach Ault is one of the subjects in the study. When Ault rides an exercise bicycle, scientists measure how his leg muscles use oxygen. Afterward, doctors fit a special cap on Ault's head to measure electrical activity in his brain. They then send him to spend the night in an air-tight room where air has been removed with pipe for additional study. Scientists measure oxygen and carbon dioxide levels to tell how much energy Ault is using, minute by minute. “We're figuring out how his body adjusts to an exercise load, or a stress load.”
“It's hard not knowing if or when I'm going to recover, ” he said. But Ault says the study did help him learn about the disease. And it gave him ideas about how to save up his energy.
12. What was Zach Ault's life like before 2017?
A. He was fond of exercising.
B. He won several half-marathons.
C. He spent much time lying in bed.
D. He was busy looking after his children.
13. How did the infection affect Zach Ault?
A. He lost his job.
B. He was unable to sleep.
C. He became too weak to do sports.
D. He was tired of running a half-marathon.
14. What can we learn about chronic fatigue syndrome?
A. It usually lasts no more than months.
B. It is likely to cause thinking disorders.
C. Patients with it need to stay in bed all day long.
D. Patients with it should avoid any kind of exercise.
15. What does Zach Ault think of the study?
A. It helped him cure his illness.
B. It helped him recover and stay fit.
C. It taught him how to enjoy cycling.
D. It brought him new ideas about fighting diseases.
第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

选项中有两项为多余选项We all experience momentary bursts of anger every now and then. For the most part, though, these ly minor annoyances are easy to deal with, but walking back your anger when you're having a heated conversation with someone is a lot more difficult. There are things you can do in the moment to calm yourself, though.
16. Acknowledge that you're angry.
When you're angry,you notice it in your body.___17___If you're not physically feeling it, you might hear it in the sound of your voice.
Once you notice this, try to adjust your voice. Just as increasing anger can correspond to an increasingly loud voice, so can the opposite.___18___
19. Give yourself a time out.
How do you do the exercise above when you're in the middle of a face-to-face conversation? Call a personal timeout. Walking away gives you time to calm down and collect your thoughts before responding. This also aids in decreasing anger.
Of course, don't just peace out of the argument. Let whoever you're talking to know that you just need a little physical space.
3.Ask yourself what emotion is behind the anger.
___20___More often than not, anger is a “secondary emotion” we use as a mask or a defense for an entirely different feeling (shame, for instance, or embarrassment).
Once you're aware of the real emotions at play, you can communicate it to the person you snapped at. Also, you'd apologize to your co-worker and perhaps consider asking your manager to lighten your workload.
21.___22___
Let's say you've taken the advice above, but you're still feeling heated. If so, changing the topic of conversation can also be a good way to cope with anger in the moment.___23___If you were discussing something serious-or something that needs to be explained finally-table the discussion for later or the next day, when you calm down.
A.Change the subject of the conversation.
B.Stop the conversation with your partner.
C.Anger will do damage to your lungs and heart.
D.Try responding to your loud voice by gradually lowering it.
E.Now that you've calmed down, think about what's motivating your anger.
F.Make a joke and reroute the conversation to a safe, calm, enjoyable dialogue.
G.Anger will often cause changes in our body,such as muscle tension or sore neck.

Tears forming, I feared I would___29___my job. Then, she said, “I’m going to give you another chance.” I sighed with___30___.
After that, I realized I wasn’t paying attention when I was___31___. That was the turning point not only in my___32___career but my entire life. I began to___33___.

Jack still remembers that one morning when he was only ten years old. He was at home with his elder sister Lily. Jack was doing his homework when he heard raised voices. At first, he thought nothing of it since customers' voice in the motorcycle shop directly below their flat often became loud, but he soon realized this time it was different.
“Quick! Quick! Remove the motorcycles from the shop” someone shouted.
Then a thick burning smell filled the air. When Jack opened the front door of their flat to investigate, a thick cloud of smoke greeted him. The motorcycle shop had caught fire and people were running and crying.
Lily, who had been playing the violin in her room, hurried to the living room. They rushed out of the door and along the corridor through the smoke.
They were heading towards the stairway at the far end of the corridor when Lily stopped in her track. She turned around and headed back the way they came. Jack had no idea what she was doing, but he followed her.
Lily had suddenly remembered the lady in her 70s who lived next door to them, who they called Makcik, Malay for auntie. Lily began banging on Makcik’s door, but got no answer. As the smoke thickened around them,
Jack could see many of their neighbors — some still in their pyjamas — running for safety. The thought of fear crossed his mind.
“She might have run for safety like everyone else!” Jack cried. However, Lily refused to give up. “I know Makcik's still inside.” She said she was familiar with Makcik's daily routine and was certain she would still be sleeping. She pounded the door. “Go downstairs. Go now! Go!”
注意:
1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右;
