Five successful women delivered speeches on the topic “Bouncing Back after Setbacks.” As I sat there listening to their many personal and professional mistakes and setbacks, I felt fortunate that I hadn’t made th at many mistakes in my own life.Those women had lost thousands in investments, started companies but failed, sold companies that later ended up being worth millions, and lost partners in the name of business. Despite knowing that they had, in fact, bounced back and were again doing very well, I was starting to feel sorry for them. Then, as if someone whispered in my ear, I heard the words: “Don’t be so proud of yourself. You haven’t made any mistakes because you haven’t lived at all. Look how boring your life is.” Whose voice was this, and how dare it speak to me like that?I think, for the first time, I heard my own heart speak. It shook me to my core, and it took all I had to keep from crying. I started thinking of the mistakes I had made. The voice wa s right. There weren’t many at all. I had followed a straight path for 38 years. I went to school, earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees with honors, and stayed at every job I’d had far longer than it was professionally beneficial for me to do so. In fact, at 38, I had only had three jobs. “ The devil( 魔鬼 ) you know is better than the one you don’t ” was my motto.A quick review of my life made me realize that it was the actions I hadn’t taken that I was suddenly regretting. I hadn’t studied abroad. I hadn’t risked love. In fact, I was perpetually single. I hadn’t started a business. I hadn’t traveled enough. I had said “no” far more than “yes”.The voice that whispered to me continued to the New Year. It was like it laughed at me. The thought of turning forty frightened me. It’s one thing to be unhappy and unsettled in your twenties, and perhaps even in one’s thirties. But was I going to start a new decade with the same boredom? I needed something to pick me up, some activity I could look forward to.31 . How did the author feel when first hearing stories from the 5 speakers? 32 . The author felt like crying during the conference because she realized . 33 . What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 probably mean? 34 . From the passage, we can learn that theauthor .A．Regretful.B．Surprised.C．Lucky.D．Guilty.A．she hadn’t lived her life to the fullestB．she was deeply touched by the womenC．she had nothing to be proud of in her lifeD．she had made a lot of mistakes in her lifeA．The familiar devil is more frightening.B．Saying “no” is better than saying “yes”.C．It’s better to stay within the comfort zone.D．You’d better change your job more frequently. A．felt afraid of ageingB．traveled abroad a lotC．was married in her thirtiesD．decided to do something new(★★★) Printable Tags Turn Everyday Objects into Smart DevicesEngineers have developed printable metal tags (标贴) that could be attached to everyday objects and turn them into smart Internet of Things devices.The metal tags are made from copper foil (铜箔) printed onto thin, flexible, paper-like materials to refle ct WiFi signals. The tags work essentially like “mirrors” that reflect radio signals from a WiFi router. When a user’s finger touches these “mirrors”, it disturbs the reflected WiFi signals in such a way that can be remotely sensed by a WiFi receiver like a smartphone.The tags can be nailed onto objects that people touch every day, like water bottles, walls or doors. These objects then become smart and connected devices that can signal a WiFi device whenever a user interacts with them. The tags can also be shaped into thin keypads or smart home control panels that can be used to remotely operate WiFi-connected speakers and other Internet of Things devices. Xinyu Zhang, a professor of electrical and computer engineering, named the technology LiveTag. He pictures people using LiveTag technology to track human interaction with everyday objects. For example, LiveTag could potentially be used to assess the recovery of patients who have suffered fromstroke (中风). “When patients return home, they could use this t echnology to provide data based on how they interact with everyday objects at home, whether they are opening or closing doors in a normal way, or if they are able to pick up bottles of water, for example. The amount, intensity and frequency of their activi ties could be recorded and sent to their doctors to evaluate their recovery,” said Zhang. “And this can all be done in the comfort of their own homes rather than having to keep going back to the clinic for frequent testing,” he added.The researchers note several limitations of the technology. LiveTag currently cannot work with a WiFi receiver further than one meter away, so researchers are working on improving the tag sensitivity and detection range. Ultimately, the team aims to develop a way to make the tags using normal paper and ink printing, which would make them cheaper to mass produce.35 . When people touch a printable metal tag, . 36 . LiveTag can probably be used to . 37 . LiveTag helps stroke patients by .A．they are actually touching a mirrorB．the WiFi router will stop sending signalsC．the reflected WiFi signals will be disturbedD．their fingers can be sensed by a WiFi routerA．precisely locate everyday objectsB．remotely control a WiFi-connected TVC．easily block signals from WiFi devicesD．greatly improve one’s physical conditionA．evaluating the process of their recoveryB．sending data of their activities to doctorsC．connecting their smartphones with doctors’D．recording doctors’ assessments of their recovery(★★★) How to Make Friends, According to ScienceFriendship is one of life’s most important features, and one too often taken for granted.The human desire for companionship may feel boundless, but research suggests that our social capital is finite—we can only handle a certain number of relationships at one time. Social scientists have used some creative approaches to measure the size of people’s social networks; these have returned estimates ranging from about 250 to about 5,500 people. Looking more specifically at friendship, a study using the exchange of Christmas cards to test closeness put the average person’s friend group at about 121 people. However vast our networks may be, our inner circle tends to be much smaller. The average American trusts only 10 to 20 people. Moreover, that number may be shrinking: From 1998 to 2017, the average number of trusted friends decreased from three to two. This is both sad and of important consequence, because people who have strong social relationships tend to live longer than those who don’t.So what should you do if your social life is lacking? Here the research is instructive. To begin with, don’t refuse to consider the humble acquaintance（交情）. Even interacting with people with whom one has weak social ties has a meaningful influence on well-being. Beyond that, building deeper friendships may be largely a matter of putting in time. A recent study out of the University of Kansas found that it takes about 50 hours of socializing to go from acquaintance to casual friend, an additional 40 hours to become a “real” friend, and a total of 200 hours to become a close friend.If that sounds like too much effort, renewing inactive social ties can be especially rewarding. Reconnected friends can quickly recapture the trust they previously built, while offering each other a dash of novelty（新奇）drawn from whatever they’ve been up to in the meantime. And if all else fails, you could start randomly to tell secrets to people you don’t know that well. Self-disclosure makes us more likable, and as a bonus, we are more likely to favor those to whom we have revealed our soul. Longing for closeness and connection is common and everywhere, which suggests that most of us are stumbling（跌跌撞撞）through the world, expecting companionship that could be easily provided by the lonesome stumblers all around us. So set aside this article, turn to someone nearby, and try to make a friend.38 . From Paragraph 2, we can know that . 39 . What does the author suggest to improve one’s social life? 40 . What is the passage mainly about? 41 . The author helps readers better understand his idea mainly by .A．a strong social relationship can guarantee a long lifeB．real friendships are based on the exchange of presentsC．people’s inner circle is decreasing despite large social networksD．people’s social networks depend on their desire for companionshipA．Sharing secrets with close friends.B．Choosing likable people as friends.C．Avoiding the humble acquaintance.D．Spending time for deeper friendships.A．The tips on how to develop friendship.B．The reasons for seeking companionship.C．The benefits brought by a good social life.D．The relationship between friendship and happiness.A．using research resultsB．making comparisonsC．giving some examplesD．telling personal stories(★★★) Understanding Chinese Culture: The Challenge to the WestLate last year, a New Zealand newspaper reported that China was sending 120 doctors to a Pacific island to assist with their community health. A positive action, one might think, but the focus of the story was to ask what China was doing in the Pacific, and how we have failed to the extent that we have allowed this to happen. What are the Chinese doing on “our patch”?In fact, the rise of China is to a certain degree promoted as a threat. The challenge to the West, then, is to improve an appreciation of wh at China is. How does China’s cultural heritage present a positive advantage to the world?To understand this, it is important to consider the foundations of Chinese culture and society. China has more than 5,000 years of uninterrupted cultural development. We at least need to go back 2,500 years to study Taoism, for its cultural and philosophical roots, and Confucius for his social philosophy and influence on society.Taoism provides us with many aspects of the special nature of Chinese culture and philosophy. The concept of yin and yang in Taoism, which brings us balance through the integration of opposites, is well-known but not fully understood in the West. Chinese medicine, which tends to take a longer time to take effect, with a focus to work in harmony with the body, is to restore imbalance causing diseases rather than targeting only the specific symptom or problem area.Confucius’ contribution to Chinese society also provides a difference to Western society. Eastern society places the community as the most important component of society. In Western society, it is the individual that is considered to be the unit of society, compatible with an objective analysis of issues.Considering a monkey, cow and banana, which is the odd one out? The vast majority of Chinese will choose the cow because the monkey eats the banana, which gives food to the monkey. Western people invariably choose the banana because they see the objective classification of the monkey and cow. The consideration of these two responses, and extension into deeper philosophical understanding, presents a major difference between Chinese and Western thought.Therefore, the challenge to the West is to embrace an alternative perspective on issues. It is time for Western media to seek a balance in reporting affairs, and critiqu（e It is time for a Chinese voice to be heard in the West. 评判）the Western perspective.42 . The news report in the first paragraph _. 43 . Why is Chinese medicine mentioned in the passage? 44 . We can learn from the passage that . 45 .

Today, most people can expect to live into their sixties and beyond. By 2050, the world’s population aged 60 and older is expected to total 2 billion, up from 900 million in 2015.While this shift in proportion (比例) of a country’s population towards older ages---known as ageing---started in high-income countries, for example in Japan, 30% of the population are already over 60 years old, it is now low- and middle-income countries that are experiencing the greatest change. 46 . At the biological level, ageing results from molecular (分子的) and cellular damage over time.This leads to a growing risk of disease and eventually death. 47 . That’s why we say there is no “typical” older person. While some 70 year-olds enjoy extremely good health, other 70 year-olds are weak and require a lot of help from others.48 . Retirement, relocation and the death of friends and partners are some of the possible reasons. For example, moving older people to a better house, which seems an admirable behavior, may do harm to their health eventually.49 . Some people believe older people can be active and productive. A longer life brings opportunities, both for older people themselves and for society. They can pursue new activities such as further education or a new career. They also contribute in many ways to communities. 50 . This can lead to discrimination against older people. Therefore, society as a whole needs to address the ageist attitude by developing sound policies and offering various opportunities so that older people can experience fulfilling ageing. E. Although ageing is a universal trend, views towards older people divide.F. However, to others, older people are weak, dependent, and a burden to society.G. By 2050, many countries like Chile and China will have a similar rate of older people to Japan.A．Nobody can ever escape from the ageing process.B．But these changes are only loosely linked to a person’s age.C．Yet the extent of their contribution depends heavily on their health.D．Beyond biological changes, ageing is also related to other life changes.五、提纲类作文(★★★) 51 . 假设你是红星中学高三学生李华，你的英国朋友 Jim 希望了解你在过去一年中的最大收获。

Five successful women delivered speeches on the topicAs I sat there listening to their many personal and professional mistakes “Bounc ing Back after Setbacks.” and setbacks, I felt fortunate that I hadn’t made that many mistakes in my own life.Those women had lost thousands in investments, started companies but failed, sold companies that later endedup being worth millions, and lost partners in the name of business. Despite knowing that they had, in fact, bounced back and were again doing very well, I was starting to feel sorry for them.Then, as if someone whispered in my ear, I heard the words: “Don’t be so proud of yourself. You haven’tse voice was this, and how made any mistakes because you haven’t lived at all. Look how boring your life i s.” Whodare it speak to me like that?I think, for the first time, I heard my own heart speak. It shook me to my core, and it took all I had to keepfrom crying. I started thinking of the mistakes I had made. The voice was right. There weren’t many at all. I had followed a straight path for 38 years. I went to school, earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees with honors, and stayed at every job I’d had far longer than it wasprofessionally beneficial for me to do so. In fact, at 38, I had only had three jobs. “The devil(魔鬼)was my motto.you know is better than the one you don’t ” A quick review of my life made me realize that it was the actions I hadn’t taken that I was suddenly regretting. I hadn’t studied abroad. I hadn’t risked love. In fact, I was perpetually single. I hadn’t started a business.I hadn’t traveled enough. I had said “no” far more t han “y es”．The voice that whispered to me continued to the New Year. It was like it laughed at me. The thought of turning forty frightened me. It’s one thing to be unhappy and unsettled in your twenties, and perhaps even in one’s thirties. But was I going to start a new decade with the same boredom? I needed something to pick me up, some activity I could look forward to.51. How did the author feel when first hearing stories from the 5 speakers?A. Regretful.B. Surprised.C. Lucky.D. Guilty.52. The author felt like crying during the conference because she realized .A. she hadn’t lived her life to the fullestB. she was deeply touched by the womenC. she had nothing to be proud of in her lifeD. she had made a lot of mistakes in her life53. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A. The familiar devil is more frightening.B. Saying“no” is better than saying “yes”．C. It’s better to stay within the comfort zone.D. You’d better change your job more frequently.54. From the passage, we can learn that the author .A. felt afraid of ageingB. traveled abroad a lotC. was married in her thirtiesD. decided to do something newBPrintable Tags Turn Everyday Objects into Smart DevicesEngineers have developed printable metal tags (标贴) that could be attached to everyday objects and turn them into smart Internet of Things devices.The metal tags are made from copper foil (铜箔) printed ontothin, flexible, paper-like materials to reflect WiFi signals. The tags workessentially like “mirror s”that reflect radio signals from a WiFi router. When afinger touches these “mirrors”, it disturbs the reflected WiFi signals in suchuser’ｓa way that can be remotely sensed by a WiFi receiver like a smartphone.The tags can be nailed onto objects that people touch every day, like water bottles, walls or doors. These objects then become smart and connected devices that can signal a WiFi device whenever a user interacts with them. The tags can also be shaped into thin keypads or smart home control panels that can be used to remotely operate WiFi-connected speakers and other Internet of Things devices.Xinyu Zhang, a professor of electrical and computer engineering, named t he technologyLiveTag. He pictures people using LiveTag technology to track human interaction with everyday objects. For example, LiveTag could potentially be used to assess the recovery of patients who have suffered from stroke (中风). “When patients return home, they could use this technology to provide data based on how they interact with everyday objects at home, whether they are opening or closing doors in a normal way, or if they are able to pick up bottles of water, for example. The amount, intensity and frequency of their activities could be recorded and sent to their doctors to evaluate theirrecovery,”said Zhang. “And this can all be done in the comfort of their own homes rather thanhaving to keep going back to the clinic for frequent testi ng,” headded.The researchers note several limitations of the technology. LiveTag currently cannot work with a WiFi receiver further than one meter away, so researchers are working on improving the tag sensitivity and detection range. Ultimately, the team aims to develop a way to make the tags using normal paper and ink printing, which would make them cheaper to mass produce.55. When people touch a printable metal tag, .A. they are actually touching a mirrorB. the WiFi router will stop sending signalsC. the reflected WiFi signals will be disturbedD. their fingers can be sensed by a WiFi router56. LiveTag can probably be used to .A. precisely locate everyday objectsB. remotely control a WiFi-connected TVC. easilyblock signals from WiFi devicesD. greatly improve one’s physical condition57. LiveTag helps stroke patients by .A. evaluating the process of their recoveryB. sending data of their activities to doctorsC. connecting their smartphones with doctor s’D. recording doctor s’ assessments of their recoveryCHow to Make Friends, According to ScienceFriendship is one of life’s most important features, and one too often taken for granted.The human desire for companionship may feel boundless, but research suggests that our social capital is finite—we can only handle a certain number of relationships at one time. Social scientists have used some creative approaches to measure the size of people’s social networks; these have returned estimates ranging from about 250 to about 5,500 people. Looking more specifically at friendship, a study using the exchange of Christmas cards totest closeness put the average person’s friend group at about 121 people. However vast our networks may be, our inner circle tends to be much smaller. The average American trusts only 10 to 20 people. Moreover, that number may be shrinking: From 1998 to 2017, the average number of trusted friends decreased from three to two. This is both sad and of important consequence, because people who have strong social relationships tend to live longer than those who don’t.So what should you do if your social life is lacking? Here the research is instructive. To beginwith, don’t refuse to consider the humble acquaintance（交情）. Even interacting with people with whom one has weak social ties has a meaningful influence on well-being. Beyond that, building deeper friendships may be largelya matter of putting in time. A recent study out of the University of Kansas found that it takes about 50 hours offriend, and a total of socializing to go from acquaintance to casual friend, an additional 40 hours to becom e a “real” 200 hours to become a close friend.If that sounds like too much effort, renewing inactive social ties can be especially rewarding. Reconnected friends can quickly recapture the trust they previously built, while offering each other adash of novelty（新奇）drawn from whatever they’ve been up to in the meantime. And if all else fails,you could start randomly to tell secrets to people you don’t know that well. Self-disclosure makes us more likable, and as a bonus, we are more likely to favor those to whom we have revealed our soul.Longing for closeness and connection is common and everywhere, which suggests that most of us are stumbling（跌跌撞撞）through the world, expecting companionship that could be easilyprovided by the lonesome stumblers all around us. So set aside this article, turn to someone nearby, and try tomake a friend.58. From Paragraph 2, we can know that .A. a strong social relationship can guarantee a long lifeB. real friendships are based on the exchange of presentsC. people’s inner circle is decreasing despite large social networksD. people’s social networks depend on their desire for companionship59. What does the author suggest to improve one’s social life?A. Sharing secrets with close friends.B. Choosinglikable people as friends. C. Avoiding the humbleacquaintance.D. Spending time for deeper friendships.60. What is the passage mainly about?A. The tips on how to develop friendship.B. The reasons for seeking companionship.C. The benefits brought by a good social life.D. The relationship between friendship and happiness.61. The author helps readers better understand his idea mainly by .A. using research resultsB. making comparisonsC. giving some examplesD. telling personal storiesDUnderstanding Chinese Culture: The Challenge to the WestLate last year, a New Zealand newspaper reported that China was sending 120 doctors to a Pacific islandto assist with their community health. A positive action, one might think, but the focus of the story was to ask what China was doing in the Pacific, and how we have failed to the extent that we have allowed this to happen.What are the Chinese doing on “our patch”?In fact, the rise of China is to a certain degree promoted as a threat. The challenge to the West, then, is to improve an appreciation of what China is. How does China’s cultural heritage present a positive advantage to the world?To understand this, it is important to consider the foundations of Chinese culture and society. China has more than 5,000 years of uninterrupted cultural development. We at least need to go back2,500 years to study Taoism, for its cultural and philosophical roots, and Confucius for his social philosophyand influence on society.Taoism provides us with many aspects of the special nature of Chinese culture and philosophy. The conceptof yin and yang in Taoism, which brings us balance through the integration of opposites, is well-known but not fully understood in the West. Chinese medicine, which tends to take a longer time to take effect, with a focus to work in harmony with the body, is to restore imbalance causing diseases rather than targeting only the specific symptom or problem area.Confucius’contribution to Chinese society also provides a difference to Western society. Eastern society places the community as the most important component of society. In Western society, it is the individual that is considered to be the unit of society, compatible with an objective analysis of issues.Considering a monkey, cow and banana, which is the odd one out? The vast majority of Chinese will choosethe cow because the monkey eats the banana, which gives food to the monkey. Western people invariably choosethe banana because they see the objective classification of the monkey and cow. The consideration of these two responses, and extension into deeper philosophical understanding, presents a major difference between Chinese and Western thought.Therefore, the challenge to the West is to embrace an alternative perspective on issues. It is time for Western media to seek a balance in reporting affairs, and critique(评判)the Western perspective .it is time for a Chinese voice to be heard in the west.62. The news report in the first paragraph _.A. tells a story of Chinese doctorsB. demonstrates the concern of the WestC. stresses the decline of Western cultureD. shows the medical development of China63. Why is Chinese medicine mentioned in the passage?A. To help better understand Taoism.B. To define the concept of yin and yang.C. To emphasize the contributions of Taoism.D. To express the author’s pride in Chinese culture.64. We can learn from the passage that .A. Taoism has a greater influence than ConfucianismB. Confucianism finds balance in integrating oppositesC. the West takes China’s cultural heritage as an advantageD. Eastern society considers community the essential unit of society65. The author’s purpose of writing the passage is to .A. warn the West of the threat of ChinaB. introduce to the West what China really isC. recommend the West to accept the rise of ChinaD. appeal to the West to have an objective attitude to China第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

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

Sometimes, if he was lucky, the school guard would let him slip into the empty corridors to 11 the cold. Other nights, the guard shooed him away. The 12 of electricity in the home he shared with six family members was one of the easier roadblocks to overcome on his path to becoming a 13 .Despite poor conditions, supporting the whole family after Gr andpa’s death, and the 60% illiteracy（文盲）rate of his country, Pakistan, my father defeated the odds to establish his ownclinic.However, he decided to 14 this comfortable lifestyle and move to America to 15 limitless opportunities for his family.Because of his 16 , I strive to take advantage of every opportunity.

Five successful women delivered speeches on the topic “Bouncing Back after Setbacks.” As I sat there listeningto their many personal and professional mistakes and setbacks, I felt fortunate that I hadn’t made that many mistakes in my own life.Those women had lost thousands in investments, started companies but failed, sold companies that later ended up being worth millions, and lost partners in the name of business. Despite knowing that they had, in fact, bounced back and were again doing very well, I was starting to feel sorry for them.Then, as if someone whispered in my ear, I heard the words: “Don’t be so proud of yourself. You haven’t made any mistakes because you haven’t lived at all. Look how boring your life is.” Whose voice was this, and how dare it speak to me like that?I think, for the first time, I heard my own heart speak. It shook me to my core, and it took all I had to keep from crying. I started thinking of the mistakes I had made. The voice was right. There weren’t many at all. I had followed a straight path for 38 ye ars. I went to school, earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees with honors, and stayed at every job I’d had far longer than it was professionally beneficial for me to do so. In fact, at 38, I had only had three jobs. “The devil(魔鬼) you know is better than the one you don’t ” was my motto.A quick review of my life made me realize that it was the actions I hadn’t taken that I wassuddenly regretting. I hadn’t studied abroad. I hadn’t risked love. In fact, I was perpetually single. I hadn’t started a business. I hadn’t traveled enough. I had said “no” far more than “yes”.The voice that whispered to me continued to the New Year. It was like it laughed at me. The thought of turning forty frightened me. It’s one thing to be unhappy and unset tled in your twenties, and perhaps even in one’s thirties. But was I going to start a new decade with the same boredom? I needed something to pick me up, some activity I could look forward to. 31．How did the author feel when first hearing stories from the 5 speakers? A．Regretful. B．Surprised.C．Lucky. D．Guilty.32．The author felt like crying during the conference because she realized . A．she hadn’t lived her life to the fullestB．she was deeply touched by the womenC．she had nothing to be proud of in her lifeD．she had made a lot of mistakes in her life33．What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A．The familiar devil is more frightening. B．Saying “no” is better than saying “yes”. C．It’s better to stay within the comfo rt zone. D．You’d better change your job more frequently.34．From the passage, we can learn that the author .A．felt afraid of ageingB．traveled abroad a lotC．was married in her thirtiesD．decided to do something newPrintable Tags Turn Everyday Objects into Smart Devices Engineers have developed printable metal tags (标贴) that could be attached to everyday objects and turn them into smart Internet of Things devices.The metal tags are made from copper foil (铜箔) printed onto thin, flexible, paper-like materials to reflect WiFi signals. The tags work essentially like “mirrors” that reflect radio signals from a WiFi router. When a user’s finger touches these “mirrors”, it disturbs the reflected WiFi signals in such a way that can be remotely sensed by a WiFi receiver like a smartphone.The tags can be nailed onto objects that people touch every day, like water bottles, walls or doors. These objects then become smart and connected devices that can signal a WiFi device whenever a user interacts with them. The tags can also be shaped into thin keypads or smart home control panels that can be used to remotely operate WiFi-connected speakers and other Internet of Things devices.Xinyu Zhang, a professor of electrical and computer engineering, named the technology LiveTag. He pictures people using LiveTag technology to track human interaction with everyday objects. For example, LiveTag could potentially be used to assess the recovery of patients who have suffered from stroke (中风). “When patients return home, they could use this technology to provide data based on how they interact with everyday objects at home, whether they are opening or closing doors in a normal way, or if they are able to pick up bottles of water, for example. The amount, intensity and frequency of their activities could be recorded and sent to their doctors to evaluate their recovery,” said Zhang. “And this can all be done in the comfort of their own homes rather than having to keep going back to the clinic for fr equent testing,” he added.The researchers note several limitations of the technology. LiveTag currently cannot work with a WiFi receiver further than one meter away, so researchers are working on improving the tag sensitivity and detection range. Ultimately, the team aims to develop a way to make the tags using normal paper and ink printing, which would make them cheaper to mass produce. 35．When people touch a printable metal tag, .A．they are actually touching a mirrorB．the WiFi router will stop sending signalsC．the reflected WiFi signals will be disturbedD．their fingers can be sensed by a WiFi router36．LiveTag can probably be used to .A．precisely locate everyday objectsB．remotely control a WiFi-connected TVC．easily block signals from WiFi devicesD．greatly improve one’s physical condition37．LiveTag helps stroke patients by .A．evaluating the process of their recoveryB．sending data of their activities to doctorsC．connecting their smartphones with doctors’D．recording doctors’ assess ments of their recoveryHow to Make Friends, According to ScienceFriendship is one of life’s most important features, and one too often taken for granted.The human desire for companionship may feel boundless, but research suggests that our social capital is finite—we can only handle a certain number of relationships at one time. Social scientists have used some creative approaches to measure the size of people’s social networks; these have returned estimates ranging from about 250 to about 5,500 people. Looking more specifically at friendship, a study using the exchange of Christmas cards to test closeness put the average person’s friend group at about 121 people. However vast our networks may be, our inner circle tends to be much smaller. The average American trusts only 10 to 20 people. Moreover, that number may be shrinking: From 1998 to 2017, the average number of trusted friends decreased from three to two. This is both sad and of important consequence, because people who have strong social relationships tend to live longer than those who don’t.So what should you do if your social life is lacking? Here the research is instructive. To begin with, don’t refuse to consider the humble acquaintance（交情）. Even interacting with people with whom one has weak social ties has a meaningful influence on well-being. Beyond that, building deeper friendships may be largely a matter of putting in time. A recent study out of the University of Kansas found that it takes about 50 hours of socializing to go from acqu aintance to casual friend, an additional 40 hours to become a “real” friend, and a total of 200 hours to become a close friend.If that sounds like too much effort, renewing inactive social ties can be especially rewarding. Reconnected friends can quickly recapture the trust they previously built, while offering each other a dash of novelty（新奇）drawn from whatever they’ve been up to in the meantime. And if all else fails, you could start randomly to tell secrets to people you don’tknow that well. Self-disclosure makes us more likable, and as a bonus, we are more likely to favor those to whom we have revealed our soul.Longing for closeness and connection is common and everywhere, which suggests that most of us are stumbling（跌跌撞撞）through the world, expecting companionship that could be easily provided by the lonesome stumblers all around us. So set aside this article, turn to someone nearby, and try to make a friend.38．From Paragraph 2, we can know that .A．a strong social relationship can guarantee a long lifeB．real friendships are based on the exchange of presentsC．people’s inner circle is decreasing despite large social networksD．people’s social networks depend on their desire for companionship39．What does the author suggest to improve one’s social life?A．Sharing secrets with close friends.B．Choosing likable people as friends.C．Avoiding the humble acquaintance.D．Spending time for deeper friendships.40．What is the passage mainly about?A．The tips on how to develop friendship.B．The reasons for seeking companionship.C．The benefits brought by a good social life.D．The relationship between friendship and happiness.41．The author helps readers better understand his idea mainly by .A．using research resultsB．making comparisonsC．giving some examplesD．telling personal storiesUnderstanding Chinese Culture: The Challenge to the West Late last year, a New Zealand newspaper reported that China was sending 120 doctors to a Pacific island to assist with their community health. A positive action, one might think, but the focus of the story was to ask what China was doing in the Pacific, and how we have failed to the extent that we have allowed this to happen. What are the Chinese doing on “our patch”?In fact, the rise of China is to a certain degree promoted as a threat. The challenge to the West, then, is to improve an appreciation of what China is. How does China’s cultural heritage present a positive advantage to the world?To understand this, it is important to consider the foundations of Chinese culture and society. China has more than 5,000 years of uninterrupted cultural development. We at least need to go back 2,500 years to study Taoism, for its cultural and philosophical roots, and Confucius for his social philosophy and influence on society.Taoism provides us with many aspects of the special nature of Chinese culture and philosophy. The concept of yin and yang in Taoism, which brings us balance through the integration of opposites, is well-known but not fully understood in the West. Chinese medicine, which tends to take a longer time to take effect, with a focus to work in harmony with the body, is to restore imbalance causing diseases rather than targeting only the specific symptom or problem area.Confucius’ contribution to Chinese society also provides a difference to Western society. Eastern society places the community as the most important component of society. In Western society, it is the individual that is considered to be the unit of society, compatible with an objective analysis of issues.Considering a monkey, cow and banana, which is the odd one out? The vast majority of Chinese will choose the cow because the monkey eats the banana, which gives food to the monkey. Western people invariably choose the banana because they see the objective classification of the monkey and cow. The consideration of these two responses, and extension into deeper philosophical understanding, presents a major difference between Chinese and Western thought.Therefore, the challenge to the West is to embrace an alternative perspective on issues. It is time for Western media to seek a balance in reporting affairs, and critiqu（e It is time for a Chinese voice to be heard in the West. 评判）the Western perspective.42．The news report in the first paragraph _.A．tells a story of Chinese doctorsB．demonstrates the concern of the WestC．stresses the decline of Western cultureD．shows the medical development of China43．Why is Chinese medicine mentioned in the passage?A．To help better understand Taoism.B．To define the concept of yin and yang.C．To emphasize the contributions of Taoism.D．To express the author’s pride in Chinese culture.44．We can learn from the passage that .A．Taoism has a greater influence than ConfucianismB．Confucianism finds balance in integrating oppositesC．the West takes China’s cultural heritage as an advantageD．Eastern society considers community the essential unit of society45．The author’s purpose of writing the passage is to .A．warn the West of the threat of ChinaB．introduce to the West what China really isC．recommend the West to accept the rise of ChinaD．appeal to the West to have an objective attitude to China四、七选五People worldwide are living longer. Today, most people can expect to live into their sixties and beyond. By 2050, the world’s population aged 60 and older is expected to total 2 billion, up from 900 million in 2015.While this shift in proportion (比例) of a country’s population towards olderages---known as ageing---started in high-income countries, for example in Japan, 30% of the population are already over 60 years old, it is now low- and middle-income countries that are experiencing the greatest change. 46．At the biological level, ageing results from molecular (分子的) and cellular damage over time.This leads to a growing risk of disease and eventually death. 47．That’s why we say there is no “typical” older person. While some 70 year-olds enjoy extremely good health, other 70 year-olds are weak and require a lot of help from others.48．Retirement, relocation and the death of friends and partners are some of the possible reasons. For example, moving older people to a better house, which seems an admirable behavior, may do harm to their health eventually.49．Some people believe older people can be active and productive. A longer life brings opportunities, both for older people themselves and for society. They can pursue new activitiessuch as further education or a new career. They also contribute in many ways to communities. 50．This can lead to discrimination against older people. Therefore, society as a whole needs to address the ageist attitude by developing sound policies and offering various opportunities so that older people can experience fulfilling ageing.A．Nobody can ever escape from the ageing process.B．But these changes are only loosely linked to a person’s age.C．Yet the extent of their contribution depends heavily on their health.D．Beyond biological changes, ageing is also related to other life changes.E.Although ageing is a universal trend, views towards older people divide.F.However, to others, older people are weak, dependent, and a burden to society.G.By 2050, many countries like Chile and China will have a similar rate of older people to Japan.五、提纲类作文51．假设你是红星中学高三学生李华，你的英国朋友Jim 希望了解你在过去一年中的最大收获。
