Artificial intelligence will make it easier to monitor our every move in the office. This may sound like scien ce fiction, but it’s a likely __36__, according to a new report by professional services firm PricewaterhouseCoopers.The report, which __37__ a team of science researchers and a survey of more than 10,000 workers based in China, Germany, India, the U.K., and the U.S., predicts that rapid advances in technology, resource __38__, and population demographics are among the key forces that would radically __ 39__ the future of work by 2030.According to PwC, these forces will result in four potential futures: one where “humans come first,” one where “innovation __40__,” one where “companies care,” and one where “corporate is king.”In the future world where corporations reign, PwC states that “human effort is __41__ through sophisticated use of physical and medical enhancement techniques and equipment, and workers’ performance and __42__ are measured, monitored and analysed at every step. A new breed of elite super-workers emerges.”This is a world where performance is everything, and workers will need to create every __43__ to stay ahead. This may sound like a stressful objective, but the majority of people surveyed __44__ the challenge.Seventy percent of the workers surveyed said that they would undergo __45__ to improve their body and mind if it would improve their chances of employment. This could be because webelieve it’s up to us to improve our careers —even if that means pill-popping performance-enhancing drugs. Of those surveyed, 74% said it was their individual __46__ “to update their skills rather than relying on any employer.”To visualize this __47__ future, PwC created a mock news article reporting from 2030 that detailed the first large-scale use of brain-enhancing drugs in the workplace.But you don’t need a fake news report to see this future; real news reports about augmented bodies in the office have existed for some time. Companies in the U.S. and Europe are already offering microchip implants to workers, so they can enter company buildings and get their chips from the vending machine with the __48__ of a hand.PwC predicts that the idea of a cyborg workforce will go from science fiction novelty to mainstream in the next few decades.“So implants at work are already possible and happening and people will use it __49__ to pay for things and to get on to buses and public transport. Why would they not 10 years later go, sure, put one in my brain to make me think harder or for __50__ ?”Jon Williams, PwC’s people and -organizations division leader told The Australian about its survey. “It’s just natural progression.”36.

Reading comprehensionSection A (10分)Directions: Read the following interview excerpt between a journalist (J)and a professor (P). Complete the interview except by using the questions in the box that best fits the professor’s answer. There are two extra questions that you may not need.Interview: is evolution predictable?4th August 2017If we were to replay the tape of life here on Earth from scratch, would we as humans still evolve? That’s a key question new research in the area of experimental evolution is seeking to address. We speak to Jonathan Losos, professor in the Department of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology and curator of herpetology at the Museum of Comparative Zoology, ahead of publication of his first book Improbable Destinies: How Predictable is Evolution?J: _______ 51_______P: In short, it’s new evidence. Stephen Ja y Gould wrote in his seminal and highly influential book Wonderful Life that we were not fated to evolve the way we did; that if you could replay the tape of life and let evolution proceed from an early point, then the end result would not at all be the same. But Gould’s argument was based entirely on logic and thought experiments. Thirty years later, we have lots of data on how deterministic evolution is, how subject it is to the whims and flukes of history. We are finally in a position to re-assess whether Gould was right or not.J: _______52_______P: The answer to that is somewhere in the middle, as with many debates. To some extent, if you put the same species in the same environment, experiencing the same selective pressures, they often do evolve in the same way. This is particularly common when you’re dealing with closely related species, and there’s a reason for that. Closely related species have the same genes and t he same biology, so it’s very easy for them to evolve in the same way. Different species, however, have different ways of reacting to a given evolutionary pressure. So evolution is probably more deterministic than Gould was willing to recogniz e, but it’s n ot quite as pervasive as some others have argued. Where is the convergent duck-billed platypus, for example? If evolution is so convergent, why don’t we have this animal outside Australia? Evolution is often not predictable; it’s contingent on previous cir cumstances.J: _______53_______P: I can’t really answer that question. What’s changed recently is our knowledge about how many Earth-like planets there may be, even within our own Milky Way galaxy. With the realization that these planets exist, many people think the likelihood that life has evolved on some of them is pretty high. We haven’t detected that yet, but it may be that we just haven’t figured out how to detect it yet.J: _______54_______P: I have no evidence to argue that one way or the other. I do think, however, that if there are millions of moons and planets out there, the likelihood seems very high. If life has evolved, my expectation is that it would not look at all like life on Earth. Who knows what sort of chemical biology it might be based on, but the building blocks of life there would almost certainly be different to some extent from here on Earth. Even here on Earth, unrelated species react indifferent ways. My prediction would be that life evolved on other planets will not be at all recognisable with what we have here.J: _______55_______P: Yes, I think we are. Our conception of life is biased by our own experience, but look at octopuses. We know they’re fairly intelligent, but their biology is completely different from ours. I’m not saying they have human-level intelligence, but they have a lot going on in their brains and they’re nothing like us.Section B （40分）Directions:Read the following passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)I was enjoying this afternoon more than I had expected. Often, the tryouts for the spring musical tested the limits of my patience and nerves, with one hopeful girl after another taking turns walking onto the wooden stage, delivering an adequate but uninspired version of some Rodgers & Hammerstein number, and then being politely excused by Mrs Dominguez as the next name on the list was called.However, this was to be my third straight year in the musical, and the confidence that my seniority afforded me around the more nervous newcomers allowed me to take pleasure in radiance of my own balance.I had already sung my audition (试唱) song an hour ago, starting the day’s ceremonies. This year, I used “God Bless the Child”, a choice I found to be quite sophisticated since Billie Holiday’s version of it was familiar mostly to adults, and even then, mostly to adults of the previous generation. More importantly, it required a reserved performance, which I felt showcased my maturity, especially because most of the other auditioners chose songs that would show their enthusiasm, even if it meant their technical mastery would not be on full display.Normally, the first audition was feared by most. Mrs Dominguez would ask if anyone wanted to volunteer to “get it over with”, but no one would make a sound. Then, she would call the first name off her list and the room would drop into an uncomfortably serious silence as the first student walked nervously up to the stage. I often imagined during those moments that I was witness to a death-house liver taking his march toward a quick curtain.But not this year. I had decided to make a show of my own self-confidence by volunteering to go first. Such a fearless act, I had figured, would probably instill even more fear into my competition because they would realize that I had something they clearly lacked. Mrs. Dominguez had seemed neither surprised nor charmed by my decision to go first. Although she was annoyed by my escalating pride, I also acknowledged that I was one of the more talents actors and was probably correct in assuming myself a winner.At this late stage of the afternoon, I felt like a queen, sitting in the back of the auditorium with my royal court of friends and admirers. They took care to sit far enough away from Mrs Dominguez that they would not be caught in the act of belittling the other students’ auditions.To me, the endless parade of the ambitious who sang their hearts out for three minutes each were like clowns performing for my amusement. As Mrs Dominguez read another name off her list, I prepared myself for a special treat.56. What did the writer do one afternoon?A. She enjoyed her time watching the audition.B. She performed in the school spring musical.C. She attended the selective trial of the school musical.D. She helped Mrs Dominguez to select musical talents.57. The writer believed the song she chose for her audition ________.A. would be the most inspiring Rodgers and Hammerstein numbersB. was the most sophisticated song in Billie Holiday’s versionsC. would likely be more recognizable to her parents than to her friendsD. would allow her to more effectively showcase her enthusiasm58. The main purpose of the underlined statement in paragraph 5 is to ________.A. offer a contrast created by the writer’s choice of auditionB. present reasons why this year’s audition was the strangestC. suggest that the writer’s imagination no longer involved the same imageryD. inform the reader that students’ fears of going first were something of the past59. Why did the writer volunteer to perform the first audition of the day?A. To guarantee her a part in the play.B. To impress and charm Mrs Dominguez.C. To add her confidence in her performance.D. To make the others feel they could not compete with her.60. The passage portrays the writer as ________.A. concerned and nervousB. arrogant and indifferentC. friendly and inclusiveD. confused and surprised(B)The term “Iron Man”has many connotations, including references to a song, a comic book icon, even a movie. Yet only one definition of the term truly lives up to its name: the Ironman Triathlon held annually in Hawaii, a picturesque setting for a challenging race, which demands amazing physical prowess and the ability to swim, bike, and run a marathon, all in less than 12 hours with no break. Very few individuals are up to the task.However, Gordon Haller is a notable exception. Growing up in the 1950s, Haller developed an interest in many sports categorized as endurance athletics and welcomed their physical demands. As he pursued a degree in physics he drove a taxi to pay the bills, but competitive training proved his passion. So when he heard about the race in 1978, the first year it was held, he immediately signed up.The race originated in a somewhat amusing way. The members of the two popular sports clubs, the Mid-Pacific Road Runners of Honolulu and the Waikiki Swim Club of Oahu, had a long-standing and good-natured debate going over who made better athletes: runners or swimmers. However, some local bikes thought both clubs were wrong, claiming that they, in fact, deserved the title. Wanting to settle the dispute once and for all, they decided to combine three separate races already held annually on the island into one massive test of endurance. Thus, the Waikiki Roughwater Swim of 2.4 miles, the Around-Oahu Bike race of 112 miles, and the Honolulu Marathon of 26.2 miles were all put together to form the Ironman Triathlon.Haller was one of only fifteen competitors to show up that February morning to start the race. He quickly scanned the few pages of rules and instructions, and on the last page he discovered a sentence that would become the race’s famous slogan: “Swim 2.4 miles! Bike 112 miles! Run 26.2 miles! Brag for the rest of your life!”Haller took that to heart, and at the end of the day, he becamethe first Ironman champion in history. _____64_____In the approximately thirty years since that very first race, the Ironman has become a tradition in Hawaii and now boasts approximately 1500 entrants every year. The competitors who complete the race don’t have to be the first across the finish line to claim success: just finishing is a victoryonto itself.61. The “Iron Man” in the passage above refers to ________.A. a folk songB. a theatre movieC. a book iconD. a sport event62. What do we know about Gordon Haller from the passage?A. He had a great interest in all kinds of sports.B. He was a member of the Waikiki Swim Club of Oahu.C. He became a taxi driver after he graduated from school.D. He was a champion in the first Ironman Triathlon.63. What does the underlined word “prowess” in the first paragraph mean?A. musclesB. skillsC. balanceD. reaction64. Which of the following statements can be added to the end of paragraph 4 to effectivelyemphasize Haller’s achievement?A. Twelve other people also finished the race that day.B. No women raced this year, but that was soon to change.C. There were points in the race when Haller thought he couldn’t possibly finish.D. Haller’s physical strength enabled him to do what no one else in the past had accomplished.65. What does the last paragraph of the passage try to tell us?A. The level of interest the race attracts in the present day.B. The way the current race is different from the race that Haller ran in 1978.C. How the victors respond when they cross the finish line.D. Why 1500 people would be willing to compete in such a difficult race.(C)HA VE you ever been stopped in your tracks by a stunning view, or gobsmacked by the vastness of the night sky? Have you been transported by soaring music, a grand scientific theory or a charismatic person? If so, you will understand US novelist John Steinbeck’s response to California’s giant redwood trees, which can soar more than a hu ndred metres towards the sky. “They leave a mark or cre ate a vision that stays with you always,” he wrote. “From them comes silence and awe.”Philosophers and writers have long been fascinated by our response to the sublime, but until a few years ago, scientists had barely studied it. Now they are fast realising that Steinbeck was right about its profound effects. Feeling awestruck can dissolve our very sense of self, bringing a host of benefits from lowering stress and boosting creativity to making us nicer people.But what exactly is awe and where does it co me from? “It’s a subjective feeling rooted in thebody,” according to psychologist and pioneering awe researcher Dacher Keltner at the University of California, Berkeley. In 2003, he and Jonathan Haidt, now at New York University, published the first scientific definition. They described awe as the feeling we get when confronted with something vast, that transcends our frame of reference and that we struggle to understand. It’s an emotion that combines amazement with an edge of fear. Wonder, by contrast, is more intellectual – a cognitive state in which you are trying to understand the mysterious.You might think that investigating such a profound experience would be a challenge, but Keltner insists it’s not so hard.“We can reliably produce awe,” he says. “You can get people to go out to a beautiful scene in nature, or put them in a cathedral or in front of a dinosaur skeleton, and they’re gong to be pretty amazed.” Then, all you need is a numerical scale on which people can report how much awe they are feeling. Increasingly, studies are including a physiological measure too, such as the appearance of goosebumps (鸡皮疙瘩)– awe is the emotion most likely to cause them, and second only to cold as a source.In this way, Keltner and others have found that even mild awe can change our attitudes and behaviour. For example, people who watched a nature video that elicited awe – rather than other positive emotions such as happiness or pride –were subsequently more ethical, more generous and described themselves as feeling more connected to people in general. Gazing up at tall eucalyptus trees left others more likely to help someone who stumbled in front of them. And after standing in front of a Tyrannosaurus rex skeleton, people were more likely to describe themselves as part of a group. It might seem counterintuitive that an emotion we often experience alone increases our focus on others.But Keltner thinks it’s because awe expands our attention to encompass a bigger picture, so reducing our sense of self.“The desert is so huge, and the horizons so distant, that they make a person feel small,” wrote Paulo Coelho in The Alchemist. He was right. In a large study, Keltner found that after inspiring awe in people from the US and China, they signed their names smaller and drew themselves smaller, but with no drop in their sense of status or self-esteem. Similarly, neuroscientist Michiel van Elk at the University of Amsterdam, the Netherlands, found that people who watched awe-inducing videos estimated their bodies to be physically smaller than those who watched funny or neutral videos.The cause of this effect might lie in the brain. At the annual meeting of the Organization for Human Brain Mapping in V ancouver, Canada, in June, van Elk presented functional MRI scans showing that awe quiets activity in the default mode network, which includes parts of the frontal lobes and cortex, and is thought to relate to the sense of self. “Awe produces a vanishing self,” says Keltner. “The voice in your head, self-interest, self consciousness, disappears. Here’s an emotion that knocks out a really important part of our identity.” As a result, he says, we feel more connected to bigger or collectives and groups.66. The underlined word “transported” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ________.A. taken inB. fired upC. carried awayD. tuned out67. According to the author, the “profound effects” of the feeling of awe enable us to ________.A. hold more respect for redwood treesB. enhance our connectedness to humanityC. increase our self-consciousnessD. enjoy a completely stress-free life68. According to Dacher Keltner and Jonathan Haidt, the difference between “awe” and“wonder” lies in the fact that ________.A. the former is beyond the range of our normal experiences while the latter of our intellectB. the former involves a feeling of fright while the latter an element of puzzlementC. the former has more to do with our body while the latter with our mindD. the former is viewed as more personal while the latter more collective69. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 5 imply?A. It’s against our wish that awe makes us care more for others th an for ourselves.B. The feeling of awe automatically directs our focus to others from ourselves.C. It’s common sense that awe, though felt alone, boosts our concern for others.D. It seems odd that the emotion of awe tends to associate the individual with the world.70. Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE according to the passage?A. Getting close to something awesome makes us happier and nicer.B. Awe can cause physical reactions in our body just as cold does.C. The huge desert and distant horizons affect our attitudes and confidence.D. MRI scans suggest that the emotion of awe has biological connections.(D)Think about a remote control. Something so simple in function is seemingly capable of invisible magic to most of us. Only those with an engineering and electronics background probably have any real idea of why a remote control works. The rest of us just assume it should. And the longer a given technology exits, the more we take it for granted.Consider for a moment a split screen showing modern remote control users versus the first remote control users: the original users would be carefully aiming the remote directly at the television, reading the names of the buttons to find the right one, and intentionally pressing the button with a force that adds nothing to the effectiveness of the device. The modern users would be leaning on a sofa, pointing the remote any which way, and instinctively feeling for the button they desired, intuiting (凭直觉知道) its size, shape, and position on the remote.Humans are known for being handy with tools, so it is no surprise that we get so comfortable with our technology. However, as we become increasingly comfortable with how to use new technologies, we become less aware of how they work. Most people who use modern technology know nothing of its underlying science. They have spent neither mental nor financial resources on its development. And yet, rather than be humbled by its originality, we consumers often become unfairly demanding of what our technology should do for us.Many of the landmark inventions of the twentieth century followed predictable tracks: initial versions of each technology (television, video games, computers, cell phones, etc.) succeeded in impressing the general public. Then, these wonderful new inventions quickly became commonplace. Soon, the focus of consumer attitudes towards them changed from gratitude with respect to discriminating preference.Televisions needed to be bigger and have a higher resolution. Video games needed to be more realistic. Computers needed to be more powerful yet smaller in size. Cell phones needed to be smaller yet capable of performing other tasks such as taking pictures, accessing the Internet, and even playing movies.For children of the last twenty years born into this modern life, these technological marvels seem like elements of the periodic table: a given ingredient that is simply part of the universe. Younger generations don’t even try to imagine life without modern conveniences. They do not。

AOlympic gold medalist Morolake Akinosun walked through the halls of her high school in Illinois in the US，surprised at how little had changed at her old high school other than the green color on the walls．Akinosun won her medal with the 400﹣meter relay team at the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro this summer．Her return to her high school recently included a chance for the young woman to tell what she's learned since running track for Wsubonsie more than fours year ago．Her first piece of advice to the crowd of students was asking them to listen to their parents．"They see things you can't see，"she said．"In high school I thought I was on the top of the world．"In Akinosun's case，her parents encouraged her to consider going to the University of Illinois，which at the time had a team that was coached by Olympic medal winner Tonja Buford﹣Bailey．"I wouldn't be where I am today without my parents，"she said．Her parents saw Buford﹣Bailey as a good fit to coach their daughter，something Akinosun said she didn't understand at the time．It didn't take long，however，for her to see they were right and she ended up following Buford﹣Bailey to the University of Texas at Austin when the coach took a job there．Akinosun admitted it was three years before she told her parents they were right．Becoming an excellent athlete who can take part in the Olympics needs serious dedication．She says her success came from viewing herself as an athlete﹣student instead of a student﹣athlete．"I always put track and field first，and then comes school，"Akinosun said．A social life comes last．"It's about sacrifices（牺牲）．You can't be on the track team unless you're chosen，"she added．Making athletics the most important thing in her life meant committing fully，no matter how she might feel on a given day．"I never missed a training session （环节）in my four years in college，"she said．"It's my job；it's what I do．Think about that when you want to sleep in．" 21．Which of the following statements is TRUE about Akinosun according to the article？A．She was a big fan of Buford﹣Bailey in high school．B．She make up her mind to win Olympic medals in high school．C．She still doesn't want to admit that her parents helped her a lot．D．She is thankful to her parents for finding her the right coach．22．According to Akinosun，she became a successful athlete because．A．she had great confidence in herself．B．she always put training before anything else．C．she was pushed by her coach to train hard．D．she could keep a good balance between school and training．23．The underlined word"dedication"in Paragraph 6 is closest in meaning to．A．committing fully B．knowing oneself C．a clear purpose D．a strong desire24．What's the best title of the passage？A．How Akinosun spent her high school years．B．The story of Akinosun's success．C．Being an athlete is not easy．D．Akinosun's advice to her schoolmates．BGetting ripped off from time to time is just part of traveling﹣﹣﹣don't let it ruin your day or your overall experience．But there are things you can do to avoid some of the most common rip﹣offs．Let me share my travel tips for how to avoid hidden fees，disappointed experiences and overpriced items．Baggage FeesDepending upon the airline，you can pay 15to75for the first checked bag，and more for overweight bags．When possible，pack a bag lightly enough to a carry﹣on or fly airlines that still allow free checked bags（two bags for Southwest and one for JetBlue）．Many airline programs allow members with a high status to have a free checked bag，so check your status．Overpriced Hotel and Airport FoodTo avoid the overpriced water sold at airports，bring an empty water bottle with you through security at the airport．Then，fill it up at a water fountain or ask a waiter at a coffee shop to fill it up for you．Pick up some snacks at a local corner store instead of hitting the hotel room mini bar，which can lead to expensive surprises on your final bill．Tourist Trap RestaurantsIf you're visiting a restaurant or attraction that has online presence，Google it or search it on Yelp to see what the locals say about it and to find any available coupons（优惠券）that might get some extra savings．Often restaurants run deals on Yelp where if you"check in"at that restaurant andreview it，you get a free dessert or 15% off the total bill，etc．By researching online，you'll not only see whether there are any coupons or extra savings available，but people will tell you if the chef changed a month ago and the food is awful now．25．To have a free checked bag，you shall not．A．take a light carry﹣on B．have a high status C．take overweight bags D．choose Southwest Airlines 26．If you want to drink free water at an airport，you can．A．take a bottle of water through security B．go to a water fountainC．go to a store at the airport D．order a coffee at a coffee shop27．The passage is probably written by．A．a travel agent B．an economical person C．an experienced traveler D．a skilled net﹣worker．CWhen The New Republic magazine predicted who would win the 2016Nobel Prize in literature on Oct.6，it said："Not Bob Dylan．That's for sure．"But the award came as a surprise to many．On Oct 13，the famous US musician was named the Nobel laureate by the Swedish Academy．He has"created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition"，according to the organization．Although Dylan，75，is not really thought to be a literary writer，he has given the world a lot of creative works over 50years，especially when it comes to his folk songs．In his 1985album Biograph，Dylan wrote about the appeal of folk music to him．Rock songs"weren't serious enough or didn't reflect life in a realistic way"，according to Dylan．But folk，was"a more serious type of thing．The songs are filled with more sadness，more joy…much deeper feelings．"Dylan's music and lyrics（抒情诗）spoke to many people during the 1960s．His lyrics were often about great political issues，such as the civil rights movement．The 1960s were a time of change when the young were making sure that their voices were heard．The idea is most famously expressed in Dylan's The Times They Are a﹣Changin'（1964），which warns the world，"You better start swimming or you'll sink like a stone．For the times they are a﹣changin'!"There were complaints that a literary prize had been given to a singer．But ancient"Greek poets Homer ND Sappho wrote poetic works that were meant to be listened to，that were meant to be performed，often with instruments and it's the same way with Dylan"，the Swedish Academy's permanent secretary Sara Danius told CNN．It could even be said that giving the important prize to Dylan has brought back an old literarytradition．The millions whose lives Dylan's words and music have changed will surely welcome the award．28．Dylan found folk music attractive because．A．It brought joy to people．B．It could be used to express feelings freely．C．It reflected life on a much deeper level．D．It needed more creativity than other types of music．29．Which of the following statements is TRUE about Dylan according to the article？A．He never thought that he would win the Nobel Prize．B．Most of his influential works were created in the 1960s．C．His songs expressed people's feelings well during the 1960s．D．His fans were mostly young people who were active in political movements．30．According to the last two paragraphs，．A．lyrics can be seen as a literary form．B．a literary prize should not be given to a singer．C．Dylan's works were inspired by Greek poets．D．Dylan deserves the award because he influenced many song﹣writers．31．What's the author's attitude toward giving Bob Dylan the 2016 Nobel Prize in literature？A．supportive B．objective C．doubtful D．negative．DInternet data shows that younger adults have become the main audience crazy about changing their appearance．Once the world of the female in her fifties，plastic surgery（整形手术）has become the focus of the younger Internet users．The recent death of Stephanie Kuleba，an 18﹣year﹣old high school cheerleader who died as a result of plastic surgery，brought our attention to the fashion of becoming a more"ideal"body among teenagers．In fact，search data confirms this phenomenon．One of the most popular sites visited from the search term"plastic surgery"is the official site of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons （www．plastic surgery．org）．Over 25% of the visitors，which is up from 19.6% two years ago，fell within the 18to 24years old．Plastic surgery has become an American obsession （痴迷）．Checking other countries，such as the UK and Australia，the 18to 24﹣year﹣old's being interested in plastic surgery is an obvious US phenomenon．Unlike the other groups who visit sites related to diseases and keeping healthy，youngerInternet users rush to sites that deal with personal appearance，such as those focused on body﹣building，weight loss and skin﹣care，and obviously plastic surgery．While television on surgery may be driving the interest of a younger audience，one factor appears to be a key in preventing such teens from changing their bodies：the failing U．S．economy．There has been a decline in all plastic surgery topics over the last year．While older age continue to search for information on procedures such as liposuction（抽脂），it's younger Internet users who in tough economic times are focusing on improving their outer beauty，though at a discount price．32．Why does the author mention the death of the 18﹣year﹣old cheerleader？A．To show cheerleaders pay more attention to their appearance．B．To warn people that plastic surgery is not as safe as it is said to be．C．To prove the fact that people will pursue beauty at any cost．D．To draw attention to the issue of young people having plastic surgery．33．While young people are surfing on the Internet，they are very interested in．A．how to be physically and mentally healthy．B．how to make themselves look young．C．how to prevent and cure diseases．D．how to have more attractive appearance．34．What may affect young people's decision on whether to have plastic surgery？A．The safety of the operation B．The total expense of the surgery．C．The need for having the operation．D．The results of the surgery．35．What can we learn from the last paragraph？A．Americans，old or young，are crazy about plastic surgery．B．Liposuction is the most expensive plastic surgery．C．Outer beauty means more to young people than inner beauty．D．Young people often get discount when having plastic surgery．36．根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能放入空白处的最佳选项．选项中有两项为多余选项．E=AB F=AC G=AD（10分）Exercise is very important when it comes to dropping pounds．So if you're eager to lose weight，then here are three everyday changes that will help increase your calorie burn．Hello Sunshine（36）．Research shows that people who exercise in the morning work harder and for longer periods，which may be because they're clearer in thinking and more energetic and they don't feel asrushed as afternoon or evening exercisers．（37），which will help even more with your weigh ﹣loss journey．（38）When it comes to cardio（有氧运动），running will help you lose more weight than walking since it burns more calories．But if you increase your speed just a little，then you'll burn even more．（39．Adding sprinting intervals（间隔冲刺）is a useful way to increase your calorie burn and has also been proven to reduce belly（腹部）fat．Also be sure to swing your arms as you move，and you'll burn 15percent more calories．Strength TrainMuscle burns more calories than fat does，so the more muscle quality you have，the better it is for weight loss．（40）．Include strength﹣training moves throughout your day，such as push ﹣ups on the bathroom counter and kick your legs while brushing your teeth．You can also work your body by carrying a basket instead of pushing a cart，using the stairs whenever possible and sitting on an exercise ball instead of a chair．A．Getting into a morning routine will also help you stick with itB．Run instead of walkingC．Muscles exercise is the key to weight﹣lossD．And don't stick to a consistent pace during the entire trainingE．Morning exercises burn more caloriesF．Don't just hit the weight room at the gymG．Get Speedy．英语知识运用（共2小题，满分40分）完形填空I know I'm not perfect．But I think there
