Ⅲ.Reading Comprehension
(35) Section A(15)
In interviews, famous people often say that the key to becoming both happy and successful is to “do what you love.” But 41 a skill, even one that you deeply love, requires a huge amount of drudgery. Any challenging activity—from computer programming to playing a musical instrument to athletics—requires focused and 42 practice. A perfect golf swing or flawless butterfly stroke takes untold hours of practice (actually around 10,000 hours, according to Malcolm Gladwell) and countless repetitions to perfect.
Anyone who wants to master a skill must run through the 43 of practice, critical feedback, modification, and incremental improvement again, again, and again. Some people seem able to concentrate on practicing an activity like this for years and take 44 in their gradual improvement. Yet others find this kind of focused, time-intensive work to be 45 or boring. Why?
The 46 may turn on the ability to enter into a state of “flow,” the feeling of being completely involved in what you are doin g. Whether you call it being “in the zone,” “in a groove,” or something else, a flow state is a special experience. Since Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi developed the concept of flow in the 1970’s, it has been a mainstay of positive-psychology research. Flow states can happen in the course of any activity, and they are most common when a task has well-defined goals and is at an appropriate skill level, and where the individual is able to 47 their performance to clear and immediate feedback.
Csikszentmihalyi suggested that those who most 48 entered into flow states had an “autotelic personality”—a disposition to seek out challenges and get into a state of flow. While those without such a personality see difficulties, autotelic individuals see opportunities to build skills. Autotelic individuals are receptive and open to new challenges. They are also persistent and have low levels of self-centeredness. Such people, with their capacity for “disinterested interest” (an ability to focus on tasks rather than rewar ds) have a great 49 over others in developing their innate abilities. But how can we get into a flow state for an activity that we want to master, so that we enjoy both the process of improving skills and the
50 of being a master?
51 for those o f us who aren’t necessarily blessed with an autotelic personality, there is evidence that flow states can be 52 by environmental factors. For instance, in Montessori schools, students do not study by following direct instruction. 53 , they are encouraged to
develop individual interests, and a great deal of unstructured time is built into the day so that they can pursue these interests. Competition is 54 and grading is not emphasized, taking the focus off of external rewards. Students are grouped together according to shared interests, rather than segregated by ability.
While there isn’t (yet) a pill that can turn mundane practice into a thrilling activity for anyone, it is heartening that we seem, at least to some degree, to be able to nudge ourselves toward flow states. By giving ourselves unstructured, open-ended time, minimal distractions, and a task set at a moderate level of 55 , we may be able to love what we’re doing while we put in the hard work practicing the things we love doing.

Section B
Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
(A)
“One of the reasons I find this topic very interesting is because my mom was a smoker when I was younger,” says Lindson-Hawley, who studies tobacco and health at the University of Oxford.
By studying about 700 adult smokers, she found out that mom quit the right way — by stopping abruptly and completely.
In her Study, participants were randomly (随机地) assigned to two groups. One had to quit abruptly on a given day, going from about a pack a day to zero. The other cut down gradually over the course of two weeks. People in both groups used nicotine (尼古丁) patches before they quit, in addition to a second form. of nicotine replacement like gum or spray. They also had talk therapy with a nurse before and after quit day.
Six months out, more people who had quit abruptly had stuck with it — more than one-fifth of them, compared to about one-seventh in the other group.Although these numbers appear low, it’s a very, very low quit rate if people try without support.
And the quit rates were particularly convincing given that before the study started, most of the people had said they’d rather cut down gradually before quitting. “If you’re training for a ma rathon, you wouldn’t expect to turn up and just be able to run it. And I think people see that for smoking as well. They think, ‘Well, if I gradually reduce, it’s almost practice,’” says Lindson-Hawley.But that wasn’t the case. Instead of giving people pra ctice,the gradual reduction likely gave them cravings(瘾) and withdrawal before they even reached the quit day, which could be why fewer people in that group actually made it to that point.“Regardless of your stated preference, if you’re ready to quit, quitting abruptly is more effective,” says
Dr.Gabriela Ferreira. “When you can quote a specific number like a fifth of the patients were able to quit,that’s a compelling number, and I think that translates to the patient. It gives them the encouragement, I thi nk, to really go for it,” Ferreira says.
People rarely manage to quit the first time they try. But at least, she says, they can maximize the odds of success.
51. What dose Lindson-Hawley say about her mother？
A) She quit smoking with her daughter’s help.
B) She succeeded in quitting smoking abruptly.
C) She was also a researcher of tobacoo and health.
D) She studied the smoking patterns of adult smokers.
解析：定位到文章第二段可知选B。

A) They were given physical training.
B) They were looked after by physicians.
C) They were encouraged by psychologist.
D) They were offered nicotine replacement.
解析：定位到文章可知，会有nicotine replacement like gum or spray，所以选D.
53. How does Dr. Gabriela Ferreira view the result of Lindson-Hawley’s experiment？
A) It is idealized.
B) It is unexpected.
C) It is positive.
D) It is misleading.
解析：定位到文章倒数第二段，可知是选C。

55. What happens when people try to quit smoking gradually？
A) They find it even more difficult.
B) They are simply unable to make it.
C) They show fewer withdrawal symptom.
D) They feel much less pain in the process.

BLUE POTATOES AND SQUARE
WATERMELONS by Omar Naid
Visit the produce section of any large supermarket.
You may be astonished by the variety of unusual fruits
and vegetables. Square watermelons, blue potatoes, and
purple cauliflower attract shoppers’ attention. Some
plants are unusual because they are grown in special
ways. For example, square watermelons grow inside
square, glass cases. The result is a specially shaped
melon that is easy to cut and store in the refrigerator.Some plants, called flukes, result from odd, sudden changes that happen only once. Other plants are designed to be different from the time they are seeds.
Here are two online encyclopedia articles to help you learn more about how these unusual plants come about.
Hybrids are also new plants created by scientists. Unlike crossbred plants, however, hybrid plants are a combination of two different “parent” plants that form a whole new kind of plant. Foods from hybrid plants might taste better or stay fresher when they are shipped. For example, a new fruit called the pluot is a cross between a plum and an apricot. It looks like a plum, but it is sweeter and firmer than most plums.
Crossbreeding is when two plants of the same kind are combined to create a better plant. A farmer might crossbreed a small, sweet tomato with a large but tasteless tomato to create a large, sweet tomato, which will provide delicious slices that fit better on sandwiches. Farmers must use plant selection, which means choosing the plants with qualities that people want and then growing more of these plants. The next time you go to the supermarket and see
a square watermelon or pluot. Remember how much work went into producing it.
60. Is important in crossbreeding.
A.Choosing suitable growing place
B.Analyzing customers’ need
C.Selecting plants with good qualities
D.Deciding the size and color of the plant
60.根据文中 means choosing the plants with qualities that people want选C

62. 根据文章前面有content vocabulary，有文中词汇的列表可知是text book ,选C
(C)
Rober F, Kennedy once said that a country’s GDP measures “everything except that which makes life. ” With Britain voting to leave the European Union, and GDP already predicted to slow as a result, it is now a timely moment to assess what he was referring to.
The question of GDP and its usefulness has annoyed policymakers for over half a century. Many argue that it is a faulty concept. It measures things that do not matter and misses things that do. By most recent measures, the UK’s GDP has been the envy of the Western world, with record low unemployment and high growth figures. If everything was going so well, then why did over 17 million people vote for Brexit, despite the warnings about what it could do to their country’s economic prospects?
A recent annual study of countries and their ability to transformed growth into well-being throws some light on that question. Across the 163 countries measured, the UK is one of the poorest performers in ensuring that economic growth is translated into meaningful improvements for its citizens. Rather than just focusing on GDP, over 40 different sets of criteria(标准) from health, education and civil society engagement have been measured to get a more comprehensive assessment of how countries are performing.
While all of these countries face their own challenges, there are a number of consist themes. Yes, there has been a budding(初见端倪的) economic recovery since the 2008 global crash, but in key indicators in areas such as health and education, major economies have continued to decline. Yet this isn’t the case with all countries. Some relatively poor European countries have seen hue improvements across measures including civil society, income equality and the environment.
This is a lesson that rich countries can learn: When GDP is no longer regarded as the mere measure of a country’s success, the world looks very different.
So, what Kennedy was referring to was that while GDP has been the most common method for measuring the economic activity of nations, as a measure, it is no longer enough. It does not include important factors such as environmental quality or education outcomes--all things that contribute to a person’s sense of well-being.
The sharp hit to growth predicted around the world and in the UK could lead to a decline in the everyday services we depend on for our well-being and for growth. But policymakers who refocus efforts on improving well-being rather than simply worrying about GDP figures could avoid the heralded(预示的) disaster and may even see progress.
63.It can be inferred from Paragraph 2 that .
A.the UK is reluctant to reshape its economic pattern
B.GDP as the measure of success is widely opposed in the UK
C.the UK will contribute less to the world economy
D.Policymakers in the UK are paying less attention to GDP
从文中第二段中的the UK’s GDP has been the envy of the Western world,故选B
64.Which of the following is TRUE about the recent annual study?
A.It is sponsored by 163 countries.
B.It excludes GDP as an indicator
C.Its criteria are questionable.
D.Its results are inspiring.
A选项与文中的第3段across the 163 countries不相符，B选项和原文中rather than
focusing on GDP, over 40 different sets of criteria不相符，C选项中的questionable有问题，故选D.
65.In the last two paragraphs, the author suggests that .
A.the UK is preparing for an economic boom.
B.The high GDP forecasts an economic decline
C.It is essential to consider factors beyond GDP
D.It requires caution to handle economic issues
第6段中的as a measure, it is no longer enough. ，故选D
66.which of the following is the best title for the text?
A.High GDP But Inadequate well-being, a UK Lesson
B.GDP Figures, a Window on Global Economic Health
C.Rebort F.Kennedy, a person puts an end to GDP

根据整篇文章主旨，是有关GDP但不够健康的UK课程，故选A
Section D
Directions: Read the following passage and fill in each blank with the sentence that best fits the context. Each sentence can only be used once. Note that there are two sentences more than you need.
The New Year is slowly nearing, and many people are looking back to 2017 and more importantly, forward to the coming year 2018. People may use the New Year as a time to turn over a new leaf. Are you planning to make a New Year Resolution? Here are a few tips for preparing to be successful with all your New Year Resolutions.
1. A Single Change Is Enough
You can’t stick to two to three resolutions at a time. You would eventually break one of them for sure 67 . Don’t get overwhelmed and think that you have to reassess everything in your life. But, don’t break that one resolution you make, because that is important.
2. Write Down Your Resolution
Once you have decided on your achievable resolutions, write them down. It helps to write down your resolution so you can refer back to it often during the year.
68 . Also, by writing it down, you will be able to review it often and evaluate your progress since the time the resolution was made,
3.Ask For Support
Tell a friend or your loved ones whom you trust about your resolution. They will provide you with support and keep you focused on your goal. And if you are wavering at all, their support will ensure you don’t give up easily. Besides, it is advisable to join an online support for specific resolutions such as losing weight, giving up chocolate, or training for the next marathon. 69 . In turn, be sure to help boost other people’s resolutions!
4.Accept Failure
It is true that perfection is what people pursue. 70. Don’t give up completely because you ate a brownie and broke your diet or skipped the gym, for a week because you were busy. You must accept anything that comes your way. It is not easy to stick to something that requires lot of patience and will. Everyone has ups and downs; resolve to recover from your mistakes and get back on the right track.
DEBF
67.前后并列关系，主旨是做一个决心，和D选项中的simply make one resolution相似
68.前后都是write down，和E中的set out to do and sign it相似
69.前后有losing weight, giving up等这些，所以和B 选项中struggles and success相似
70.和后一句结构相似，切合本段主题，故选F.
Ⅳ. Summary Writing (10)
Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize in no more than 60 words the main idea of the passage and how it is illustrated. Use your own words as far as possible.
Although students have spent considerable time and energy in school in preparation for the workplace, many graduates say that they struggle with the shift from classroom to career world and have difficulty adjusting to life on the job.
Writer and editor Joseph Lewis suggests one reason why this is the case. He believes that most of our school experiences----from childhood through university---are fairly predictable, while life in the working world is far more uncertain. In school, for example, the pattern stays more or less the same from year to year. In the workplace, however, constant change is the norm, and one has to adapt quickly.
Another problem that graduates entering the workforce encounter is that they are unprepared to think analytically. In school, many students including those in college spend a lot of time memorizing facts and repeating what they “learned” on tests. But in the workplace employees “are often expected to think critically and make decisions about their work, not just follow a supervisor’s instructions.”
Finally, many recent graduates say that one of the biggest difficulties they face is adapting to teamwork on the job. In the workplace, employees must regularly interact with others and are often dependent on their co-workers for their success. Knowing how to participate effectively in teamwork---and deal with problems when they arise--is extremely important, and yet, it is also something many students don’t get quit exposed to in a school setting.
How can we better prepare young adults for the workplace? Recent graduates, looking back on their educational experience, have some advice. Many think that all students should be required to do an internship(实习) while they are in school. Volunteering part time at a company, hospital, or government organization, for example, can help one gain experience and learn skills needed to succeed in the real world. Pairing this king of practical work experience with classroom instruction, say the graduates, will help prepare students for the realities of the workplace and make the transition from school to career world less stressful. 答案：Many students find it hard to adapt to the life on the job. One reason is that life in the working world is unpredictable. Besides,students are unprepared to think critically. The most important difficulty is getting used to teamwork on the job. Thus, they are encouraged to be engaged in an internship
Ⅴ.Translation(15)

2.你给贫困地区儿童捐了这么大一笔钱，又不求回报，真慷慨！（it）

3.尽管困难重重，他丰富的工作经验和出色的心理素质最终使他能胜任主编的这个职位，这令他欣喜若狂。

（Despite, qualify）
Despite many difficulties, his rich working experience and outstanding psychological qualities made him qualified as a chief editor, which made him wild with joy.
4.只有当他们经历了这场激烈的比赛并险胜对手，同学们才坚信他们在经典文学中投入的时间越多，他们的收获就会越多。

Ⅵ. Guided Writing (25)
Directions: Write an English composition in 120-150 words according to the
instructions given below in Chinese.
下面的柱状图 (bar chart) 显示了不同年龄段孩子与父母谈心的情况。

Time spent in talking with parents
(平均每周花费的时间)
（年龄组）
根据上图信息，请以“Heart-to-Heart Talks with
Parents”为题，用英语写一篇90词左右的短文。

要求如下：
1．简要描述图中信息；
2．说明原因，如：忙于学习或工作、由于代沟 (generation gap) 而缺少共同话题……；3．谈谈你的看法。

Heart-to-Heart Talks with Parents
As is shown in the bar chart, children spend less time having heart-to-heart talks with their parents when they grow older. For example, while the 7-9 age group spends as many as 6 hours per week on average, the 16-18 age group spends only half the time.
There are two major reasons for this: both parents and children are too busy working or studying, and there aren’t many topics of common interest for them to talk about.
In my opinion, children should let their parents know more about what they are interested in. At the same time, parents should spend more time talking with their children and sharing opinions with them. Only in this way can they better understand each other
试题分析：这是一篇利用图表的给材料作文。

要求介绍不同年龄段孩子与父母谈心的情况，并说明原因表达自己的观点。

试题分析：本文的写作遵循三方面，一方面对图表的内容进行介绍，可以对图片总体反映的内容进行说明孩子们随着年龄的增长，与父母心灵的沟通却随之减少children spend less time having heart-to-heart talks with their parents when they grow
older.可以对极大和极小两方面进行说明；第二方面对原因进行介绍，一是都忙于工作学习both parents and children are too busy working or studying，二是没有共同的话题there aren’t many topics of common interest for them to talk
about.；最后发表自己的看法，同样从两个方面，一是孩子们自身要让父母知道他们的兴趣爱好let their parents know more about what they are interested
in.，二是父母亲应该花费更多的时间和孩子们交谈，与他们分享一些看法spend more time talking with their children and sharing opinions with them.
点评：对于作文的写作，特别是议论文发表观点的文章是很好写的一种文体。

我们平时所积累的东西，要在写作之前就回想，要将自己记得好的句型句式运用到自己的作文中，这样文章才能有东西可写，才能表达有深度，比如写作过程中多用定语从句，多用起承转合的连词，多用倒装、虚拟语气等，这些都要求学生平时积累好句式，在具体的写作中，只要句式正确，才适当增加具体的单词，这样才能以不变应万变。

【亮点说明】这篇短文三方面介绍的都较完整，并应用了大量的连接词和丰富的句式，如For example, In my opinion，Only in this way can they better understand each
other等。

要想在写作中能灵活运用短语和连词需要平时的积累。
