A“Mom, I’m going to take my travel journal to school, okay? I want to show my teacher. ” The summer holiday is one of the main topics of conversation at the beginning of each school year. Friends and teachers want to know all about the fun. What better way to recount the experience than show them with a travel journal? Travel journals are as individual as your child, but with the following tips, you can make one too.Start with the bookA good journal is big enough to allow room for drawings, writing, photos, and souvenirs. If it’s too small, nothing will fit. My family finds artist sketchbooks to be the best because the paper is heavier and a good quality to draw on. They also hold up well when souvenirs such as postcards or ticket stubs are pasted in.Educational additionsLoad a simple map of your route and paste it in the book. If you’re traveling through several states or provinces, create a section in the book for each leg of your journey. Use a brightly colored marker to plot your route and stickers to show important points along the way. You may also wish to include coloring pages of state flags and animals, along with interesting trivia about your family travel destination.A picture says a thousand wordsYou may be surprised how judicial(公正) kids become when given a disposable camera and permission to take photos of whatever is important to them. Develop the photosen route, and you have an instant quiet time activity. Avoid disappointment; take a back up photo on you camera as well.With a travel journal, the question, “What did you do this summer? ”takes on a whole new meaning. A drawing here, a quote there, and a few pictures quickly add up to a wonderful book full of memories that can be shared with friends and family for many years to come. After all, isn’t that what family vacations are for?21. The first paragraph serves as _________.A. a descriptionB. a suggestionC. an introductionD. a summary22. Why does the author’s family like artist sketchbooks the best?A. They hold many drawings.B. They are heavy and large enough.C. They can be kept as good souvenirs.D. Their paper is suitable for drawing.23. What does the passage mainly tell us?A. How to make a travel journal.B. Making a summer holiday fun.C. Advantages of keeping a travel journal.D. The real meaning of a family vacation.BUp until about 3 years ago, I never really questioned my identity but now I amf a r m o r e a w a r e o f i t. Sometimes I’ll say really crazy things like “I wonder what I’d look like with pale yellow hair”, and my father only smiles. I guess growing up with Western parents and living in a fairly Western society have made me feel rather “Western”. However, my mother thought that it was still important for me to stay connected to my “roots”.Our family would go on various trips to China, sightseeing and learning more about the culture. I would attend Saturday Chinese (language) school and whenever my school had a culture or an international day, my mother would encourage me to dress up in Chinese dress or bring Chinese food. The key word: encouraged. Not forced.Understanding my native culture and tradition and knowing other children just like me were obviously important ideas my mother valued when it came to bringing up her two Chinese daughters. I have never really had any identity issues; however, Ifind that now I have become less interested in maintaining a strong link to my Chinese tradition. This is because I started traveling and seeing more of the world, and grew up in a very Western lifestyle.What do I mean by this? I have started to become more aware of their customs. But do not think I did not appreciated the opportunity I had to learn about my culture;I will never truly stop being Chinese, but as I grow older, I want to declare myselfa full-and-through Australian.I am on a Chinese Adoption Facebook group and I decide to ask for some ideas on how they feel about being open to learning their native culture.24. According to the text, the writer’s roots are in _________.A. ChinaB. AustraliaC. AmericaD. France25. The writer stays connected to China by the following ways EXCEPT _______.A. traveling to ChinaB. cooking Chinese foodC. attending Chinese language schoolD. learning Chinese culture26. What can we infer about the writer and her family?A. The writer is a nice girl with beautiful golden hair.B. The writer wants to be strongly connected with Chinese tradition.C. The writer prefers the Western lifestyle to the Chinese one.D. The writer’s present parents both come from Australia.27. What is most likely to be written in the paragraph that follows?A. The experience the writer’s family had while traveling in China.B. The writer’s feeling about her special identity.C. The effect the Western lifestyle has on the writer.D. Others’ responses the writer received to her question.CCommon-cold SenseYou can’t beat it, but you don’t have to join it. Maybe it got the name “common cold” because it’s more common in winter. The fact is, though, being cold doesn’t have anything to do with getting one. Colds are caused by the spread of rhinoviruses(鼻病毒), and, at least so far, medical science is better at telling you how to avoid getting one than how to get rid of one.Children are the most common way cold viruses are spread to adults, because they have more colds than adults—an average of about eight per year. Why do kids seem so much more easily to get colds than their parents? Simple. They haven’t had the opportunity to become immune to many cold viruses.There are more than 150 different cold viruses, and you never have the same one twice. Being infected by one makes you immune(免疫的)to it –but only it.Colds are usually spread by direct contact, not sneezing or coughing. From another person’s hand to your hand and then to your nose or eyes is the most common route. The highest concentration of cold viruses anywhere is found under the thumbnails(拇指甲)of a boy, although the viruses can survive for hours on skin or other smooth surfaces.Hygiene is your best defense. Wash your hands frequently, preferably with a disinfectant(消毒剂) soap, especially when children in your household have colds.But even careful hygiene won’t ward off every cold. So, what works when a coughing, sneezing, runny nose strikes?The old prescription(处方)of two aspirins, lots of water, and bed rest is a good place to start. But you’ll also find some of the folk remedies worth trying. Hot mixtures of sugar (or honey), lemon, and water have real benefits.28. According to the essay, you may have a cold because ____________.A. the weather is too coldB.another person’s coughing passes the cold to youC.the spread of rhinoviruses gets people infectedD.you wash your hands too often29. Children have more colds because _________.A. they are not immune to many cold viruses yetB.they are usually infected about eight times each yearC.they never wash their hands so that their thumbnails are dirtyD.they don’t like eating lemon30. When you are having a cold, ___________.A. it is always the same kind of cold that you had last timeB.it is certainly not the same kind of cold that you had last timeC.it may be the same kind of cold that you had last timeD.it is probably not the same kind of cold that you had last time31. When one is having a cold, he may often have all the following symptoms EXCEPT ________.A.coughingB. having a sore throatC. having a stomachacheD. havinga runny noseDThere is an old Chinese proverb that states “One generation plants the trees; another gets the shade”, and this is how it should be with mothers and daughters. The relationship between a mother and daughter is sometimes confusing. If close, the relationship can be similar to friendship. However, the mother and daughter relationship has unique characteristics that distinguish it from a friendship. These characteristics include the hierarchy(等级) and unconditional love, which preclude mothers and daughters from being best friends.Marina, 27 years old, says, “I love spending time with my mom, but I wouldn’t consider her my best friend. Best friends don’t pay for your wedding. Best friends don’t remind you how they carried you in their body and gave you life! Best friend don’t tell you how wise they are because they have been alive at least 20 years longer than you.” This doesn’t mean that the mother and daughter relationship can’t be very close and satisfying.While some adult relationships are still troubled, many find them to be extremely rewarding. This generation of mothers and adult daughters has a lot in common which increases the likelihood of shared companionship. Mothers and daughters have always shared the common experience of being homemakers, responsible for maintaining andpassing on family values and traditions. Today contemporary mothers and daughters also share the experience of the workforce and technology, which may bring them even closer together.Best friends may or may not continue to be best friends, but for better or worse, the mother and daughter relationship is permanent, even if they aren’t speaking for some unfortunate reason. The mother and child relationship is still closer than any other. There is not an equal relationship. Daughters should not feel responsible for their mother’s emotional well-being. It isn’t that they don’t care deeply about their mothers. It’s just that they shouldn’t be burdened with their mother’s well-being.The mother and daughter relationship is a relationship that is not replaceable by any other. Mothers never stop being mothers, which includes frequently wanting to protect their daughters and often feeling responsible for their happiness. Mother always “trumps” friends.32. The underlined word “preclude” in Paragraph 1 probably mean “___________”.A. preventB. differC. benefitD. change33. What do we know from the passage?A. The mother and daughter relationship can be replaced by a best friend.B. A mother’s love brings her and her daughter a close friendship.C. Marina has a troubled relationship with her mother.D. The mother and daughter relationship goes beyond best friends’ friendship.34. The author proves his statements mainly by __________.A. listing dataB. giving explanationsC. quoting sayingsD. making examples35. What is the best title for the passage?A. How to be a good mother and daughterB. Can a mother be a daughter’s best friend?C. A friend in need is a friend indeedD. Who is a mother’s best friend?第二节（共5小题；每小题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。

Charing Cross.BFor almost two months Dominic York, a 23-year-old hairdresser, wandered about hospitals all night, wearing a white coat and pretending he was a doctor. Yesterday he proudly claimed in court that despite his complete lack of medical experience or qualifications, he had saved several people's lives. He had even been allowed to assist a surgeon during an emergency operation on a patient who was about to die on something she had swallowed.“I watched one of those TV dramas about a hospital and suddenly I felt like playing one of the roles myself. So I put on a white jacket and a stethoscope（听诊器）and walked around one of the biggest hospital in London. At first, I just watched. Once you learn how doctors talk to patients, nurses and other doctors, it's easy to take people in.” he said.One of the patients he treated was Laura Kennan. She had been knocked down by a car and fainted. When she came into hospital, York was standing over her.“He looked very professional. He told me his name was Doctor Simon. Then he gave me some sort of injection." she said. And then he suddenly cleared off when a nurse asked who he was. She didn't think there was anything wrong. "I would never have realized he was a fake if a policewoman hadn't showed me his photograph a week later. When the policewoman told me who he really was, I cou ld hardly believe my ears.”Judge Raymond Adams told York that he was "shocked and horrified,, that he got away with his deceiving（欺瞒）for so long, and then sentenced him to eighteen months in a special prison for criminal with mental disorders.“1 can only hope that this will not lead to further problems. After all, you will have considerable opportunities to study the behavior of the psychiatrists（精神科医生）who will look after you while you are there. If you try to persuade people that you yourself are a psych iatrist after you are set free, 1 shall make sure that you are given a much longer sentence.” Judge Adams warned York.24.York was proud of the fact that.A. a surgeon let him watch an operation.B. he could perform some duties of a doctorC. he had cheated doctors for so longD. people thought he could become a real doctor25.York learned how to behave like a doctor by.A. watching other doctors workB. talking to doctors and nursesC. getting some training and experienceD. observing doctors while he was a patient26.Why was Laura Kennan in hospital?A.She had swallowed something and almost died.B.She had to have an emergency operation.C.She had been injured in a road accident.D.She had lost consciousness while driving.27.The judge's remark implied that York would be more severely punished if he.A. pretended to be a psychiatristB. tried to get away from prisonC. was proud of what he had doneD. studied the behavior of the psychiatristCThe baby is just one day old and has not yet left hospital. She is quiet but alert （警觉）.Twenty centimeters from her face researchers have placed a white card with two black spots on it. She stares at it carefully. A researcher removes the card and replaces it by another, this time with the spots differently spaced. As the cards change from one to the other, her gaze （注视）starts to lose its focus —until a third, with three black spots, is presented. Her gaze returns; she looks at it for twice as long as she did at the previous card. Can she tell that the number two is different from three, just 24 hours after coining into the world?Or do newborns simply prefer more to fewer? The same experiment, but with three spots shown before two, shows the same return of interest when the number of spots changes. Perhaps it is just the newness? When slightly older babies were shown cards with pictures of objects （a comb, a key, an orange and so on）, changing the number of objects had an effect separate from changing the objects themselves. Could it be the pattern that two things make, as opposed to three? No again. Babies paid more attention to squares moving randomly on a screen when their number changed from two to three, or three to two. The effect even crosses between senses. Babies who were repeatedly shown two spots became more excited when they then heard three drumbeats than when they heard just two; likewise （同样地）when the researchers started with drumbeats and moved to spots.28.The experiment described in Paragraph 1 is related to the baby's ______.A. sense of hearingB. sense of sightC. sense of touchD. sense of smell29.Babies are sensitive to the change in___.A. the size of cardsB. the color of picturesC. the shape of patternsD. the number of objects30.Why did the researchers test the babies with drumbeats?A. To reduce the difficulty of theexperiment.B. To see how babies recognize sounds.C. To carry their experiment further.D. To keep the babies9 interest.31.Where does this text probably come from?A. Science fiction.B. Children's literature.C. An advertisement.D. A science report.The word advertising refers to any kind of public announcement that brings products and services to the attention of people. Throughout history, advertising has been an effective way to promote the trading and selling of goods. In the Middle Ages, merchants employed “town criers” to read public messages aloud to promote their goods. When printing was invented in the fifteenth century, pages of advertisements （ads） could be printed easily and were either hung in public places or put in books.By the end of the seventeenth century, when newspapers were beginning to be read by more people, printed materials became an important way to promote products and services. The London Gazette was the first newspaper to set aside a place just for advertising. This was so successful that by the end of the century several companies started businesses for the purpose of making newspaper ads for merchants.Advertising spread quickly throughout the eighteenth century. Ad writers were starting to pay more attention to the design of the ad text. Everything, from clothes to drinks, was promoted with clever methods such as repetition of the firm's name or product, words organized in eye-catching patterns, the use of pretty pictures and expressions easy to remember.Near the end of the nineteenth century, companies that were devoted to the production of ads came to be known as ""advertising agencies （广告商）The agencies developed new ways to get people to think of themselves as members of a group. Throughout the twentieth century, advertising agencies promoted consumerism （消费主义）as a way of life, spreading the belief that people could be happy only if they bought the "right“ products.32.What was advertising like in the Middle Ages?A.Merchants were employed to promote products.B.Ad messages were shouted out in public places.C.Product information was included in books.D.Ad signs were put up in towns.33.What does the word "This" in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. Advertising in newspapers.B. Including pictures in ads.C. Selling goods in markets.D. Working with ad agencies.34.The 18th century advertising was special in its.A. growing spendingB. printing materialsC. advertising companiesD. attractive designs35. Which of the following might be the best title for the text?A. The Story of AdvertisingB. The Value of Advertising DesignsC. The Role of Newspaper AdvertisingD. The Development of Printing for Advertising其次节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）依据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C or D. Choose the one that suits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.AThey say there are three ways to experience the Grand Canyon; on foot, on mules(骡子) or by air. We chose the first. Up early; my husband and I and our three children couldn’t wait to get started. We decided to walk along a lovely path named Bright Angel Trail.As we set out, I was shocked at how narrow the path was. And I couldn’t help noticing that the other tourists weren’t like us. They had heavy backpacks, water bottles, and hats. But as usual we were dressed. As the sun rose higher, Arizona’s famous heat se emed to roast us. There was no shade and our legs were aching. We decided to go back, with the girl on my back and the boys far behind. By the time we finally got back, our legs were like jelly.The next day, after we’d had a long rest and a good breakfast, we were ready for another view of the Canyon – by air. After our last walk, this would be the easiest thing in the world.We called to each other excitedly as the plane took off and circled around the Canyon. But the smiles on our faces disappeared as the pilot tossed(翻转) the plane around, pretending he was going to hit the ground. I shouted, “STOP, TAKE US BACK!”When we finally arrived back on land, once again our legs were like jelly. We hardly spoke as we drove back.As I said, there are three ways to view the Grand Canyon. We never tried the mules, but personally I’d suggest a fourth buy yourself a good magazine like National Geographic. That way, you can see the Canyon, without fear or tiredness.66. Which of the following is true according to the second paragraph?A. They made a careful preparation before the tripB. They children were more joyful than their parents.C. Bright Angel Trail was not as lovely as they expected.D. The summer heat prevented them from enjoying the view.67.The underlined expression “Our legs were like jelly” probably means _____________. .A. we were weakB. we were unhappyC. we were dissatisfiedD. we were disappointed68. Which of the following best describes their Canyon trip by air?A. It proved to be frightening.B. It was more fortableC. It turned out to be excitingD. It made each of them tired.69. We can infer from the passage that ____________. .A. experiencing the Canyon on mules would be the best wayB. one needs to dress less when visiting the Grand Canyon.C. the writer was not serious when she made the suggestion.D. the whole family narrowly escaped from the air accident.BChina news, Beijing, Feb. 9 –Housing price in China has always aroused heated discussions among property developers and ordinary Chinese. To many property developers and local government officials, housing price in China is still low pared with many developed countries. However, the average housing price in the United States is only 8,000 yuan per square meter, while in China, it is even higher than in the United States. This shows that there are some bubbles in Chinese real estate market, the International Finance News reported.Although the average price of residential houses in the United States, after converted to Renminbi, is about 8,000 yuan per square meter, the houses in US are not sold in terms of building area, as most Chinese property developers do when they sell their houses. If US property developers sell their houses according to the building area, then the housing price will be even lower than 8,000 yuan per square meter. In most big Chinese cities, such as Beijing, Shanghai, and Shenzhen, houses are sold at a price even higher than those in the US.The high housing sales price in large cities in China proves that Chinese real estate market does have some bubbles. Moreover, Chinese houses can not be pared with houses in US in terms of building quality, environment and supporting facilities. Furthermore, it should be noted that American people’s average ine is several dozen times higher than that of Chinese people. How can the Chinese afford to buy a house which is even more expensive than that sold in US?At the beginning of xx, Chinese government issued a set of policies that aimed to benefit the public. Now in order to reduce the high housing prices, the government can regulate the real estate market by raising tax on property industry and controlling the release of loans and lands to property developers. At the same time, the government should allow people to build more houses through various fund-raising channels, such as funds collected from buyers or raised by working units. By applying these multiple means, it is expected that the high housing prices can be lowered.70. According to the passage, what is the average housing price per square meter in China?A. 8000 yuanB. 10000 yuanC. 7000 yuanD. It’s not mentioned here71. Which of the following does NOT support the idea that the average housingprice in China is even higher than in the United States?A. Chinese houses can not be pared with houses in US in terms of buildingquality, environment and supporting facilities.B. American people’s average ine is several dozen times higher than thatof Chinese people.C. The houses in US are not sold in terms of building area, as most Chineseproperty developers do when they sell their houses.D. There are more people who need houses in China.72. What is the main idea of this passage?A. The housing price in China is so high that the government should dosomething useful to prevent it.B. There are some bubbles in Chinese real estate market.C. The average housing price in China is even higher than in the United States.D. Chinese government issued a set of policies that aimed to benefit the public.73. How many measures are mentioned in the last paragraph in order to reduce the high housing prices?A. FourB. ThreeC. FiveD. TwoCSome futurologists have assumed that the vast increase of women in the workforce may portend (预示) a rejection of marriage. Many women, according to this hypothesis, would rather work than marry. The opposite of this concern is that the prospects of being a multi-paycheck household could encourage marriage. In the past, only the earnings and financial prospects of the man counted in the marriage decision. Now, however, the earning ability of a woman can make her more attractive as a marriage partner. Data show that economic downturns tend to put off marriage because the parties cannot afford to establish a family or are concerned about rainy days ahead. As the economy es to life, the number of marriages also rises.The increase in divorce rates follows to the increase in women working outside the home. Yet, it may be wrong to jump to any simple cause-and-effect conclusions. The impact o f a wife’s work on divorce is no less cloudy than its impact on marriage decisions. The realization that she can be a good provider may increase the chances that a working wife will choose divorce over an unsatisfactory marriage. But the reverse is equally plausible(似是而非的). Tensions grounded in financial problems often play a key role i n ending a marriage. By raising a family’s standard of living, a working wife may strengthen her family’s financial and emotional stability.Psychological factors also should be considered. For example, a wife blocked from a career outside the home may feel caged in the house. She may view her only choice as seeking a divorce. On the other hand, if she can find fulfillment through work outside the home, work and marriage can go together to create a stronger and more stable union.Also, a major part of women’s inequality in marriage has been due to the fact that, in most cases, men have remained the main breadwinners. A working wife may rob a husband of being the master of the house. Depending upon how the couple reacts to these new conditions, it could create a stronger equal partnership or it could create new insecurities.74. It is said in the passage that when the economy slides_____.A. men would choose working women as their marriage partnersB. more women would get married to seek financial securityC. even working women would worry about their marriagesD. more people would prefer to remain single for the time being75. If women find fulfillment through work outside the home,_____.A. they are more likely to dominate their marriage partnersB. their husbands are expected to do more houseworkC. their marriage ties can be strengthenedD. they tend to put their career before marriage76. One reason why women with no career may seek a divorce is that_____.A. they feel that they have been robbed of their freedomB. they are afraid of being bossed around by their husbandsC. they feel that their partners fail to live up to their expectationsD. they tend to suspect their husbands’ loyalty to their marriage77. Which of the following statements can best summarize the authors’ view in the passage?A. The stability of marriage and the divorce rate may reflect the economic situation of the country.B. Even when economically independent, most women have to struggle forreal equality in marriage.C. In order to secure their marriage women should work outside the home andremain independentD. The impact of the growing female workforce on marriage varies from case to case.Section DDirections Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or plete the statements in the fewest possible words. ( no more than 10 words)When asked to point out one or two things that are most important to themselves, many put friends ahead of homes, jobs, cloth and cars.A true friendship carries a long history of experience that determines who we are and keeps us connected. It is a treasure we should protect. Unfortunately, the better friends you are, the more probably you’ll have disagreements. And the result can be what you don’t wan t —an end to the relationship.The good news is that most troubled friendships can be mended. First, don’t let your pride get in your way. Most of us can forgive each other when differences are brought out in the open. Second, apologize when you’re wrong –even if you’ve been wronged. Over the course of a friendship, even the best people make mistakes. Sometimes, it may be best if the wronged person takes the lead and apologizes. When you apologize, give your friend a chance to admit that he has been wrong. Third, see things from your friend’s point of view. And finally, accept that friendships change as our needs and lifestyle change. Making friends can sometimes seem easy. The hard part is keeping the connections strong during the natural ups and downs that have an effect on all relationships. My suggestion Consider friendship an honor and a gift, and worth the effort to treasure and nurture.78. What is likely to happen if you have disagreements with your friends?79. The author wrote the article mainly to tell us .80. The underlined word nurture probably means ________________.81. What causes the change of friendships?第II卷(共47分)I.

He had just taken a sip of hot tea when the message popped up, and Keene did a double-take at the subject line: “A TRIBE IS WANTED”.From there, Ben co-founded Tribewanted, an eco-friendly sustainable community existing in the virtual world of the internet and on an actual desert island at the same time.With huge media interest, the courageous and bold idea could have had enormous consequences for tourism. The idea behind Tribewanted was to recruit (招募) a group of similar people online before heading to the Fijian Island of Vorovoro to build a sustainable community alongside the local native tribe.The idea was swept along with a flood of interest, with the island lease (租约) was secured, the virtual community sprung to life. All major decisions on the island were voted on by an online tribe that anyone around the world could join. The idea was so exciting that the journey was turned into a 5 part BBC series “Paradise or Bust” and a book, Tribewanted.Ben spent 10 years building and expanding Tribewanted beyond the crowdfunded sustainable-tourism villages on an island in Fiji, to a beach in Sierra Leone and a farm in Umbria. He faced challenges including a fire sweeping through the island in the first week of the project, a military coup (政变), and a hurricane that threatened to destroy the emerging village. Online disagreements also made decision making hard and pushed the project to the edge.The project survived, and for a while, thrived. From there Ben joined Escape the City, a global community with the mission to help one million people to do work that matters to them and the world, inspiring thousands of talented career changers and ambitious businessmen to take the leap and launch their ideas into the world. Ben led the Escape school team for 5 years, and became a business advisor and guider at Virgin Startup, and Zinc.

D．An eco-community in virtual and realworlds.5. Which phrase may best replace the underlined “sprung to life”?A．passed on. B．came into being.C．got involved. D．struggled to survive.6. What might be Ben’s intention of joining Escape the City?A．To seek funds for his Tribewanted .B．To call for investment in remote islands.C．To support people to launch influential businesses.D．To help ambitious businessmen to change careers.7. In which column can you read this text?A．Inspiring people. B．Connected lives.C．Inventive solutions. D．Global business.About two months ago, I removed Uber Eats from my phone. Not because I didn’t like using it. I loved it. Like most cheap, modern luxuries though, there are hidden costs.“Restaurants are barely surviving. Delivery apps will kill them” was a headline in a newspaper, one of many stories exploring the unfair sign-up strategies and high fees taken by these tech companies. Moreover, there were reports about bad working conditions for delivery riders, leading to tragic accidents, even deaths. That’s truly unbearable!I deleted the app and haven’t used it, or any of its competitors, since. Instead of ordering online, now I either cook something or get takeaway nearby. Cooking better food has been a great motivation for me. On lazy nights, I’ve discovered that I can still make a satisfying meal by using whatever ingredients I have on hand. This approach has also saved me much money. As with lots of online shopping, I’d been ordering food without much th ought about the cost. Cooking is almost always cheaper and so is old-school takeaway.These changes have cost me one thing — time. One reason the apps are so popular is that they meet the needs of the convenience-seeking, time-starved individuals. But rather than adding to my stress, having to plan meals again somehow made life less so. Some days it’s been a good motivation to stop work earlier, and engage in activities like going to the shops, or start chopping onions. Walking to pick up takeaway forces you to go for a walk. The change in habit forced me to be on my devices a bit less and to be in my actual life and neighbourhood a bit more.The process has made me think about how technological advances do save us time, but time for what? For me, the answer was often just more time working, or more time online. Making my own food feels like taking back time I had given up for things far less nourishing (有营养的).8. Which might be the reason for the author to remove Uber Eats?A．Her passion for cooking. B．Her boredom with online ordering.C．Her preference for another app. D．Her concern for its negative impacts.9. What does the author think of cooking?A．Addictive and money-saving. B．Cheap and convenient.C．Time-consuming but rewarding. D．Motivating but stressful.10. What does “the process” refer to in the last paragraph?A．Reflecting on the influence of hi-tech.B．Adapting to life free of delivery apps.C．Getting into a healthy eating habit.D．Rediscovering the fun of cooking.11. What can be a suitable title for the text?A．My Order Never ArrivedB．Why Uber Eats Gets Less ActiveC．What Delivery Apps Can Not Offer MeD．The Convenience Was Not Worth The CostAccording to Americans for the Arts, more than two-thirds of U.S. adults say that the arts “lift me up beyond everyday experiences.” Still, only 30 percent attended a concert of any type in 2017; 23 percent visited an art museum; six percent attended a literary event. Fewer than half actively created art of any kind.What has caused this phenomenon is that we do not have time for art — we are weighed down by our day-to-day responsibilities. Maybe you like to play a little background music while you work but most of us rarely, if ever, went to see a live performance, let alone visited a gallery. And reading poetry? Perhaps not since high school.Too often, we let the realities of life get in the way of the arts, which can feel insignificant by comparison. But this is a mistake. The arts might be the single most in-depth experience you will ever be given to explore the nature and meaning of life. And if you make time to consume and produce art, you will find your life become fuller and happier.Some philosophers address the problem of life consumed by work and material pursuits. They argue that art provides relief from this routine, expanding our perspective and bringing us closer to true reality.Think of a time when you heard a piece of music and wanted to cry. Or recall your fast heartbeats as you stared at a delicate lifelike sculpture. Chances are that it probably stimulated (刺激) a sudden awakening, much like the shock from a lungful of pure oxygen after breathing in smoggy air.If you are among those who feel that art is “pure pleasure to experience and participate in,” you might see it the same way you see eating out, or skydiving: as a luxury (奢侈品) item in your limited budgets of time and money. As such, it probably gets the same sort of treatment as any minor hobby. Don’t make this error. Treat art more like exercise or sleep: a necessit y for a life full of deep satisfaction.12. What does paragraph 1 focus on?A．The opinion of U.S. adults about art.B．The types of art that U.S. adults engage with.C．The mismatch between value and behaviour as to art.D．The connection between everyday experiences and art.13. What is a mistaken idea in the author’s opinion?A．Art reveals the nature of life. B．Art gives way to material pursuits.C．Life without art is meaningless. D．Background music is a kind of art.14. What does the author want to convey in paragraph 5?A．Art awakes people’s talents.B．Art improves physical health.C．Art brings us closer to nature. D．Art makes life fuller and happier.15. What might be the best title?A．Art: A Habit, Not a Luxury B．Art: A Bridge, Not a BarrierC．Art: A Decoration, Not a Reality D．Art: A Pleasure, Not a BurdenCrab traps (蟹笼) work like this: crabs crawl in, but they don’t crawl out. 16 However, when traps get lost at sea, they become a threat to all sorts of animals.With no one there to ge t them back, the traps continue to fish, says a researcher. “Marine life gets into the trap. Eventually, they can’t eat so they die, and then other marine life becomes attracted to it. They get into the trap, and they die. 17 ”Abandoned crab traps harm wildlife and affect other fishers, especially shrimpers (捕虾者). Large and heavy crab traps get caught in shrimping nets, tearing them open or blocking them from catching shrimp. Helpless shrimpers, with nowhere to put the smelly traps, generally just throw them back, continuing the cycle.But a group in Mississippi has found a solution: 18 In just three years, the program has removed almost 3,000 crab traps from Mississippi waters. Crab traps are marked, and those that are still in good condition are returned to their owners, while traps that are too broken down are recycled.19 Wildlife is safer, the water is cleaner and there’s been a clear trend that shrimpers are encountering fewer traps.Chloé Dubois, head of a nonprofit focused on marine debris (废弃物), calls it “a great success story.” Dubois says there have been programs historically very successful at recycling waste products at the end of their life cycle. But in the ghost fishing and marine debris field, she says, “ 20 There aren’t many examples of programs like this.”Emily Bhatnagar has always loved reading. “Growing up, I was really shy, so I always turned to_______,” she said. “They sort of became my best friends when I didn’t have one.”In 2019, when Emily was in her second year of high school, her dad was diagnosed with cancer. The news was difficult for the family. Books became an even bigger _______ and she started thinking about kids in _______ situations.When her father recovered, she came up with a plan to _______ others. “The idea came from just great thankfulness that the doctors were able to perform such a(n) _______,” she says. “But also a little _______ that there were kids who were fighting the same battle.”Emily started a book drive (书籍捐赠活动) in her hometown.

一、阅读理解（本大题共15小题，共30.0分）AWondering what the meaning of life is ？Good news- you'll probably feel like you know when you're around age 60 ．That's the age when people report feeling that there's the most meaning in their lives, and they have the least need to search for meaning, according to a recently published research. The research also found that as people's sense of meaning in life rises, so does their well-being."People with purpose in life are physically and psychologically healthier," said Dr. Awais Aftab, a psychiatrist, who led the research.Aftab and his colleagues used data from a study of adults in San Diego County that recruited （招募）a large number of people aged 70 and older. This survey included a question about the level of meaning people found in their life and the level of their search for meaning. The1 ，042 adults included in the study also answered questions over the telephone about their mental and physical health.The results showed that both sense of meaning and search for meaning tend to be U-shaped over a person's lifetime. Presence of meaning starts low in the 20s and gradually rises to a peak around age60 ，on average, before declining again. The search for meaning is a mirrorimage ：It starts high in people's 20s and drops to an all-time low around age 60 before climbing in older age."Young adults in their twenties and adults in their thirties are actively seekingout careers, friendships,and romantic relations hips," Aftab wrote in an email to Live Science. People in their forties and fifties usually have more established careers andrelationships；many of them have families and children. After age 60 ，with retirement and increasing health issues, the established sources of meaning in their lives begin to fade and people tend to start searching for other sources of meaning.1. Which of the following is a finding of the research ？______A. People's sense of meaning in life increases with age.B. Healthier people tend to lead a more meaningful life.C. The level of search for meaning is fairly high in youth.D. The levels of meaning and search for meaning correspond.2. Whichgroupprobablyhavethestrongestsenseofmeaninginlife ？______A. People over 70 years old living alone.B. Young adults in their 20s still hunting for a job.C. People in their 50s with stable careers and families.D. Retired people in their 60s with various health problems.3. What is the last paragraph mainly about ？______A. The results of fading life purposes.B. The reasons behind the research findings.C. The lessons young adults should learn early.D. The influence of age on people's life purposes.BAt 5:12 am on April 18, 1906, people living in San Francisco were awakened by a 40-second earthquake. After a 10-second stop, an even stronger earthquake struck, lasting 25 seconds. Survivors saw the ground move in waves as high as three feet. The earthquake damaged streets, and streetcar rails.Fires broke out soon after the earthquake, caused primarily by overturned stoves(炉子) or damaged electrical wiring. Because the city’s water mains had sufferedmore than 300 breaks, no water was available (可用的) to fight the fires, which rapidly burned beyond control. To control the fire, firefighters began to dynamite (炸毁) buildings in its path. Unfortunately, this method sometimes spread the fire. By the evening of April 18, 1,700 soldiers had arrived in San Francisco to help both local people and the firefighters.After burning uncontrolled for three days, the fire finally burned itself outby the morning of April 21. More than 28,000 buildings had been destroyed, resultingin about $500 million in damage.Although the official number of deaths was 311, it is now believed that about3,000 people were killed. About 250,000 people (two-thirds of the city’s population)were left homeless. They were forced to live in tents (帐篷) in public parks.Among the earthquake’s survivors was the famous Italian opera singer Enrico Caruso. On the night of April 17, he had performed (表演) the role of José in Georges Bizet’ s 1875 opera, “Carmen,” and had been scheduled for another performance onApril 18. Caruso was so shocked by the earthquake that he made up his mind never to return to San Francisco again.Ansel Adams, age 4, survived the earthquake along with his family, though their house and many things were damaged. An aftershock threw young Adams face-first intoa garden wall, giving him what his friend Cedric Wright would call an “earthquake nose.”Describing his broken nose, which was never repaired, Adams would later joke,“My beauty was damaged forever. But he felt the power of the quake, which he calledhis “closest experience with terrible human suffering.”4. What made it difficult to control the fire?A. Damaged streets.B. Fallen buildings.C. The big problem of getting water.D. The low number of firefighters.5. What was the situation like after the earthquake?A. Dead bodies could be found in public parks.B. More than half of the locals had to find shelter.C. Over 250,000 people had to live on the street.D. About 28,000 buildings survived with little damage.6. How did Enrico Caruso feel about the earthquake?A. Completely lost.B. Very frightened.C. Really annoyed.D. Extremely sad.7. What.happened to 4-year-old Ansel Adams?A. He was laughed at by his friend.B. His family members were hurt badly.C. His looks were unexpectedly changed.D. He got injured while trying to protect his nose.CThe Pharos, the great lighthouse of Alexandria, was one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. It stood on the island of Pharos, in the harbor of the city of Alexandria. In 290 B.C, Ptolemy I Soter, the ruler of Egypt, ordered the building of the lighthouse. Twenty years later, it was finished−the first lighthouse in the world and the tallest building on Earth except the Great Pyramid of Egypt.The Pharos was designed by Sostrates, a Greek architect. Sostrates wanted to leave his name on the base of the lighthouse. But Ptolemy refused, ordering that only his own name appear on the building. But Sostrates found a way to do that. At the base of the Pharos, Sostrates left a message containing his own name. Then he covered it with plaster(建筑石膏) and left Ptolemy's name over it. After many years, the plaster disappeared and people knew the true architect of the lighthouse.In 1302 and 1323, two strong earthquakes hit Alexandria, and the lighthouse was damaged. In 1326, it finally fell into the sea. Much of what we know about the lighthouse comes from the writings of Arabs who once visited the Pharos.The Pharos was about 384 feet tall, the same height as a modern 40-storey building. At the top of the lighthouse stood a large statue of Poseidon, the Greek god of the sea. Under it was a beacon, the source of light for the lighthouse. The Pharos used two kinds of beacons. At night, a large fire created the light. During the day, a huge mirror made use of the sunlight to create the light.It was said that the mirror was also used to set enemy ships on fire as they entered the harbor by directing the sun’s rays(sunlight) at them. Although it is clearly impossible, the idea is interesting.8. Why did Sostrates use plaster at the base of the Pharos?A. To follow Ptolemy's orders.B. To hide his name left on the base.C. To protect the base from damage.D. To make the lighthouse more beautiful.9. How long had the Pharos stayed standing?A. For about 800 years.B. For about 1,000 years.C. For about 1,600 years.D. For about 2,000 years.10. What does the underlined word "it" in Paragraph 4 refer to?A. The lighthouse.B. The statue.C. A large fire.D. A huge mirror.11. What can be a suitable title for the passage?A. Sostrates and Ptolemy.B. The function of an old lighthouse.C. The Pharos, a wonder of the ancient world.D. The architect of an old lighthouse.DWe humans used to think that our ability to use tools made us different from all other animals. But then we found out that chimps use tools, too, such as sticks to gather distant snacks and rocks to hammer open nuts. And some birds use tools —like brainyNew Caledonian crows (乌鸦), which can collect multipart tools to solve puzzle boxes presented to them by researchers.Now we’ve learned that a different group of birds —seabirds —can also use tools. Scientists spied on Atlantic puffins, the distinctive birds with bright orange beaks(鸟喙). And in 2014 the observers spotted one floating on the sea off Wales, scratching (抓挠) its back with a stick. Then, in 2018, the researchers caught another tool-using puffin on camera, on Iceland’s Grímsey Island. In the short video clip, a puffincan be seen grabbing a stick with its beak and then using it to scratch its chest— perhaps to remove one of the seabird ticks (蜱虫) living on the island that summer.The details about puffins’ superb ability are in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Study author Annette Fayet told Scientific American in an e-mailthat these two instances don’t prove that seabirds are highly intelligent —thoughthey could be smarter than we thought. But what is certain, she says, is that puffin populations are crashing, and it’s largely the fault of us and our tools — whichhave led to overfishing, climate change, marine pollution and the presence of invasive species, all of which make seabird life harder. It would be nice to keep puffins andother birds around and find out just what else we don’t know that they’re able todo.12. What do we know from the first paragraph?A. Chimps are smarter than other animals.B. Crows are the cleverest birds in the world.C. Some animals are smarter than originally thought.D. Mammals and birds are cleverer than other species.13. What ability do puffins have according to the findings?A. To float on the water.B. To treat some diseases.C. To kill island insects.D. To make use of a stick.14. What else does the study about puffins show?A. They possess high intelligence.B. They have been endangered for long.C. Their number is decreasing very fast.D. Their existence affects other sea animals.15. What do Annette Fayet’s words imply?A. It is necessary to protect seabirds like puffins.B. Humans are to blame for some species’ extinction.C. Scientists have known more than they need about birds.D. Enough evidence has been collected to prove puffins’ value.二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）A powerful magnitude 7.1 temblor rocked Southern California at 8:19 PT on July5, 2019, just 34 hours after a magnitude 6.4 earthquake hit the same area. This latest event was widely felt. (1) Aftershocks are expected to continue.Earthquakes are also called temblors. (2) It’s hard to imagine they happen by the thousands every day around the world, usually in the form of small tremors. Some 80% of all the planet’ s earthquakes happen along the rim (边缘) of the Pacific Ocean. (3) That is because of a lot of volcanic activity there, as well.Scientists give a magnitude rating to earthquakes based on the strength and duration of their seismic (地震的) waves. A magnitude of 3 to 4.9 is considered minor or light; 5 to 6.9 is moderate (中等的) to strong; 7 to 7.9 is major; and 8 or more is great.(4) Some 10,000 people die in earthquakes every year. Earthquakes may also lead to other natural disasters. Smaller temblors that usually happen inthe days following a large earthquake can cause further death anddamage.

The thought of getting my hands dirty in the field never seemed interesting to me. I saw it as a boring and repetitive task. But I knew potential graduate schools would likely view my lack of field experience as a hole in my application letter. My mother also thought I should work for a few years to explore my interests before pursuing further education. So I decided to apply for field-based summer positions after graduation.After landing a job assessing the sage grouse habitat in Utah, I found myself in the company of Sherel, a 75-year-old botanist and the leader of our field crew. On the very first day of the fieldwork, I noticed a special plant on the field. “Wonderful! Looks like you’ve got a Mahonia repens,” Sherel shouted excitedly. I gently touched the plant with yellow flowers by my feet, “This one here? How can you tell it’s a Mahonia?” He paused briefly to admire the plant and then began his energetic description of the plant’s typical features. That evening, while we were watching the sunset together, I texted my childhood friend. “Day I was actually kind of fun,” I started, “but we’ll see how long it takes before I get bored from just identifying plants in the field all day.”But as the weeks of fieldwork rolled by, the boredom I had expected never arrived. I came home from the field each night with sore legs and a sunburned neck, excited by the day’s finds. By picking Sherel’s brain about different species of animals and plants, I discovered field days are about much more than identification. Each day is an opportunity to learn a little bit more. When the summer was over, I found myself in another field job, this time surveying forest in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula.I’m now a third-year Ph. D．student in ecology. Fieldwork may be buggy, wet, and physically demanding, but working with others helps keep spirits high and the physical activity helps me stay sharp. And it constantly reminds me that any task can present an opportunity to learn — as long as I am open to it.19．Why did the author join the fieldwork in Utah?A．To find out overall trends in data.B．To assess the sage grouse habitat.C．To improve his application letter.D．To realize his mother’s dream.20．On the first day of the fieldwork in Utah, the author ______.A．argued with Sherel B．complained to his friendC．became a leader of his group D．discovered a Mahonia repens 21．What does the author think of fieldwork now?A．Easy but interesting.B．Boring but fruitful.C．Tiring but meaningful.D．Repetitive but demanding.22．What can we learn from the passage?A．We should explore fun in daily tasks.B．We should be open to new experiences.C．We should respect the people around us.D．We should be determined about our goals.An AI model can be used to detect stress in office workers based on how they use their mouse and keyboard. A new study suggests that a machine-learning model using these two elements was more accurate at detecting stress in people than a model that tracked their heart-rate data.“We saw that the models that just used the mouse and keyboard data performed better than the models that had the heart-rate data in it,” says Mart Naegelin. a Ph. D．student at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, and one of the study’s authors.Naegelin and her fellow researchers used machine-learning models to analyze data on keyboard-typing activity, mouse movements and heart-rate data. They also studied the data of a combination of two or all three of these elements to determine which performed best in terms of measuring stress. They found that the model trained on mouse and keyboard data performed better than the model that used mouse, keyboard and heart rates. Of the single-modality (形态) models, the heart-rate data performed the worst. “The test was conducted in an environment that simulated an office environment, so the results still need to be confirmed in real-life scenarios (情况),” Naegelin says.In the experiment, participants were divided into three groups. A control group carried out assigned tasks, such as planning meetings and collecting data, with no additional work. A second group at times answered questions from managers in person in a mock interview scenario while completing other assigned tasks. And members of a third group were, at certain points, interrupted with additional questions sent through an online chat on top of tasks assigned to other groups. At regular intervals during the experiment, participants wereasked to rate their stress levels through a computer questionnaire.Researchers learned that workers made longer, less accurate movements with their mouse, as well as more typing errors, when they were stressed. Shorter, more direct movements with the mouse were tied to lower stress levels. The study didn’t focus on why increased levels of stress are thought to affect muscle activity.The researchers say they believe a stress-detection system that logs keyboard and mouse movements might be beneficial as a self-help tool for employees alongside other initiatives to improve workplace mental health. But employee participation would need to be optional and based on informed consent (同意), and companies would need to commit to protecting user privacy.It remains to be seen how this technology will evolve and be adopted in practice, but the potential for AI to contribute positively to employee well-being is an appealing avenue for future exploration.23．What do we know from Naegelin’s study?A．Heart-rate data has little connection with stress.B．Mouse and keyboard data proves effective in stress detection.C．Mouse data performs worst in measuring stress among all models.D．Using more elements in a model increases accuracy in stress detection.24．What is Paragragh 5 mainly about?A．The research process.B．The research findings.C．The research purpose.D．The research background.25．What can we learn from the passage?A．AI models based on mouse and keyboard data have been widely applied.B．Naegelin’s study explains why muscle activity can affect stress levels.C．Employers need to respect employees’ privacy while detecting stress.D．A stress-detection system improves physical health at the workplace.26．What is the author’s purpose of writing the passage?A．To introduce a new model to detect stress.B．To compare different models in stress detection.C．To show the disadvantages of being overstressed.D．To state the importance of a stress-detection system.Frozen in time, a 125-million-year-old mammal attacking a dinosaur. A 39-million-year-old whale, the heaviest animal that ever lived. The oldest known jellyfish, from 505 million years ago. Paleontology (古生物学) produces newsworthy discoveries.Fossils (化石), moreover, provide direct evidence for the long history of life, allowing paleontologists to test hypotheses (假设) about evolution with data only they provide. They allow investigation of present and past life on Earth. Flows of biological diversity, appearances of new life forms and the extinctions of long existing ones, would go undiscovered without these efforts. But the headlines over exciting new fossils greatly underestimate the true importance of paleontology. Its real significance lies in how such discoveries brighten the grand history of life on Earth. From its beginnings, more than three billion years ago, to the present day, fossils record how life adapted or disappeared in the face of major environmental challenges.Paleontologists provide us with a unique vantage on modern climate change. They play an essential role in interpreting ancient environments, in reconstructing ancient oceans, continents and climates. Fossils provide key limitation on the climate models that are essential for predicting future climate change. And the fossil record gives important insights into how life will respond to predicted future climate conditions, because these have occurred before in Earth’s history.In addition, paleontology has provided a fundamental contribution to human thought: the reality of species extinction and thus of a world that has dramatically changed over time. In documenting the history of life, paleontologists recognized that many extinction episodes could occur suddenly, such as the event 66 million years ago that ended the dinosaurs. The search for the causes of past mass extinctions started pioneering studies from across the scientific spectrum (科学界), focusing on potential future threats to humanity.Not only do paleontologists know what happens to life when things go bad, they also know how long it takes for ecosystems and biodiversity to recover from these disasters, which can take far longer than modern humans have existed.Paleontologists thus provide a unique perspective on the nature and future long-term ecological impact of the current human-produced biodiversity crisis, the so-called Sixth Extinction, and therefore the importance of protecting modern biodiversity. The very concept of a Sixth Extinction would not exist without paleontologists documenting the first five.Paleontologists know that understanding life’s past is critical to anticipating andadapting to life’s and humanity’s future. Paleontology is important because it brings its unique and critical perspective to current challenges in climate change, biodiversity loss and the environment. Paleontologists can predict the future because they know the past. 27．The first two paragraphs are written to _______.A．describe an event B．raise a questionC．present an opinion D．make a comparison28．What does the underlined word “vantage” in Paragraph 3 mean?A．A positive effect.B．A valuable suggestion.C．A quick decision.D．A comprehensive view.29．Which of the following would the author agree with?A．Ecological recovery takes shorter than imagined.B．Past lessons can help to predict the future threats.C．Paleontologists can handle the biodiversity crisis.D．Fossil studies focus on the causes of mass extinctions.30．What’s the best title for the passage?A．Paleontology: A Pioneering StudyB．Paleontology: A History RecorderC．Paleontology Tells More About Nature Than HumansD．Paleontology Is Far More Than New Fossil Discoveries三、选词填空37．We received a number of from customers about the lack of parking facilities.四、语法填空空)39．I (write) the book all year and am hoping to finish it soon.

“Regrets, I’ve had a few. But still, I keep going forward with them,” a pop star sang in his song in 1969. The idea of the song is attractive: what’s done is done, so we should treat regrets properly and move on. Some people take a step further. They say they have no regrets at all and that life should be lived without looking back.

ALee Lok Sze was the first woman in Hong Kong to reach both the North and South Poles. In 1992 and 1993，she went to Mount Everest and the Taklamakan Desert in Xinjiang. “I wanted to be an adventurer when I was small. I have loved reading adventure books since I was a child. ”Since 1970，Miss Lee has always been on trips，tr avelling to different parts of the world with a backpack and a sleeping bag.She said that these journeys changed her values. “After visiting these places，I started to treasure my life much more than before. During this time，I came to realize how small I am in the universe，but nothing in this world is unsolvable.”Miss Lee said she had a lot of unforgettable experiences on her journeys. There was one terrible storm at sea when she was returning from the South Pole. The whole team was happy to be returning home after a one－year stay at the South Pole. During the storm, waves reached heights of up to 30 meters，as high as a 10－story building. She stayed calm at the time and took steps to protect their research findings. She hoped the rescuers would find them even if they lost their lives. Part of the ship was destroyed and a lot of water came in. Luckily they all survived，but she came away from the experience with a realization about the power of nature.Miss Lee is also the founder of the China Polar Museum Foundation. Building a polar museum has always been her dream. According to Miss Lee，the museum will use advanced technology to help develop scientists' work in polar areas. Also，it will provide places for scientists to do research.21.

Which of the following is true according to Paragraph 3?A. Lee Lok Sze travelled to the South Pole alone.B. Lee Lok Sze stayed at the South Pole for a month.C. The ship was completely destroyed in the storm.D. Lee Lok Sze valued the research findings greatly.23. Why did Lee found a polar museum?A. To attract more people to the Poles.B. To promote studies of the Poles.C. To educate the public about the Poles.D. To help protect the Poles.24. Which would be the best title for the text?A. Fighting Against NatureB. Attractions of the PolesC. Surviving a Terrible StormD.A Brave and Noble WomanBSuppose you want to go abroad and learn about the foreign exchange (交流) in culture in different countries. Here is some information you may need.25. Most of the students had their trips organized by ___________.A. EF FoundationB. AFSC. Rotary InternationalD. SCCE26. Through the foreign exchange program Tom Jennings learnt to ___________.A. depend on himself and fit inB. accept advice and depend on himselfC. keep himself away from othersD. protect himself and others27. For a student without much money, the best place would be ___________.A. IcelandB. FranceC. GermanyD. ThailandCWhether in the workplace or on the football field, effective teamwork can produce amazing results. However, working successfully as a team is not as easy as it may seem. Effective teamwork certainly needs a great deal of hard work and compromise. There are a number of factors that must be in place to make a good team.Effective leadership is one of the most important components of good teamwork. The team's leader should possess the skills to create and preserve a positive working environment and motivate and inspire the team members to take a positive approach to work and be highly committed. An effective team leader will promote a high level of spirit and make them feel supported and valued.Communication is a vital factor of all interpersonal relationship and especially that of a team. Team members must be able to articulate their feelings, express plans and goals,share ideas and see each other's opinions.Conflicts will arise no matter how well a team functions together. The best way to deal with conflicts is to have some organized methods of handling conflicts. Team members should be able to voice their concerns without fear of offending others. Instead of avoiding conflict issues, a handson approach that settl es them quickly is much better. It is often advised that the team leader sit with the conflicting parties and help work out their differences without taking sides and trying to remain objective if possible.The team leader must set a good example to create good teamwork. In order to keep team members positive and committed and motivated, the team leader herself/himself needs to show these qualities. The team turns to the leader for support and guidance. So any negative words or behaviours on the leader's part can be disastrous.Regardless of what type of work you are in, knowing how to effectively work with a team is going to be extremely important to your success and that of your team.28. Effective leadership is important partly because ________.A. it creates a positive working environmentB. it helps a leader to develop lots of skillsC. it makes a leader feel supported and valuedD. it depends on interpersonal relationship of a team29. The underlined word “articulate” probably means________.A. hideB. feelC. planD. express30. When conflicts arise among team members, the team leader should ________.A. worry about the team membersB. ignore the team members' voicesC. work out their differencesD. try to avoid conflict issues31. Which is the best title for the passage?A. Football and TeamworkB. Communication and TeamworkC. What Makes Effective TeamworkD. How to Handle Conflicts in a TeamDResearchers at the University of Kansas say that people can accurately（精确地，准确地） judge 90 percent of a stranger's personality simply by looking at the person's shoes. “Shoes convey useful information about their wearers，”the authors wrote in the new study published in the Journal of Research in Personality.Lead researcher Omri Gillath said the judgments were based on the style，cost，color and condition of someone's shoes. In the study，63 University of Kansas researchers lookedat pictures showing 208 different pairs of shoes worn by the study's participants. Volunteers in the study were photographed in their most commonly worn shoes，and then filled out a personality questionnaire.Some of the results were expected：People with higher incomes most commonly wore expensive sho es，and flashier shoes were typically worn by outgoing people. However，some of the more specific results are strange enough. For example，“practical and functional”shoes were generally worn by more “pleasant” people，while ankle boots were more linked with “aggressive”personalities. The strangest of all may be that those who wore “uncomfortable looking” shoes tend to have “calm” personalities.And if you have several pairs of new shoes or take extreme care of them，you may suffer from “attachment anxiety”，spending lots of time worrying about what other people think of your appearance. There was even a political calculation in the mix with more liberal(主张变革的)types wearing “shabbier and less expensive” shoes.The researchers noted that some people will choose shoe styles to mask their actual personalities，but researchers noted that volunteers were also likely to be unaware that their footwear choices were showing the deep side of their personalities.32.What does this text m ainly tell us?A. Shoes can hide people's real personalities.B. Shoes convey false information about the wearer.C. People's personalities can be judged by their shoes.D. People know little about their personalities.33.The participants were asked to .A. provide pictures of their shoesB. look at pictures of different shoesC. design a personality questionnaireD. hand in their commonly worn shoes34. Which of the results is beyond people's expectation?A. Wealthy people often wear expensive shoes.B. Pleasant people like wearing uncomfortable shoes.C. Aggressive people are likely to wear ankle boots.D. Flashier shoes are typically worn by outgoing people.35. People suffering from “attachment anxiety” tend to .A. wear strange shoesB. worry about their appearanceC. have a calm characterD. become a political leader第二节(共5小题；每小题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。
