Frankl concluded that the difference between those prisoners who had lived and those who had died came down to one thing :Meaning, an insight he came to early in life.In 1991, the Library of Congress listed Man5s Search for Meaning as one of the 10 most influential booksin the United States. It has sold millions of copies worldwide. Now, over twenty years later, the book s ideas—its emphasis on meaning, the value of suffering, and responsibility to something greater than the self—seem to be at odds with our culture, which is more interested in the pursuit of individual happiness than in the search for meaning. But happiness cannot be pursued. It follows. One must have a reason to be happy ,” Frankl wrote.According to Gallup, the happiness levels of Americans are at a four-year high. Gallup also reports that nearly 60% of all Americans today feel happy, without a lot of stress or worry. On the other hand, according to the Center for Disease Control, about 4 out of 10 Americans have not discovered a satisfying life purpose. 40% either do not think their lives have a clear sense of purpose or are neutral about whether their lives have purpose. Nearly a quarter of Americans do not have a strong sense of what makes their lives meaningful.Research has shown that having purpose and meaning in life increases overall well-being and life satisfaction, improves mental and physical health, and decreases the chances of depression. On top of that, the single-minded pursuit of happiness is leaving people less happy, according to recent research.20. According to Paragraph 1, we know that Viktor Frankl_____________ .A. wrote his early life experience as a soldierB. lost his hope of seeking the meaning of lifeC. spent nine days in Nazi concentration campsD. survived with the spiritual support of life meaning21. The book’s ideas don't agree with American culture because Americans are more interested in searchingfor____.A. happinessB. meaningC. sufferingD. stress22. The percentage of Americans who don’t have a satisfying life purpose is______________ .A. 25%B. 60%C. 40%D. 10%23. Which of the following is the idea the author intends to convey?A. Mental health is the most important factor in life.B. Pursuit of happiness is the most important thing in life.C. Physical health can be improved if you are happy.D. Realizing the meaning of life is important to happiness.Questions 24 to 27 are based on the following passage.If you’ve ever lost your wallet (钱包), then you know that it’s a very terrible experience. Most people keep a lot in their wallets. That’s where they keep their drivers license, their credit cards, and all kinds of other important things. Of course,that’s also where most of us keep our cash.We all need cash in our lives. However, something called digital currency is slowly replacing cash. A currency is a kind of money. Usually, we use currency when we talk about a country’s money. For example, the UK is the pound, and the USA is the dollar. If something is digital, it only exists on a computer. So “digital currency” meansmoney that only exists on computers.Lots of people have digital currency accounts. They use a credit card to change their real money into digital money, and then the money goes into the digital currency account. A lot of people wonder, “Why in the world should I change my real money into digital money? ” This is a fair question, but there’s a good answer. If you want to buy something online, then you usually have to use digital currency. For example,if you’re in China and you want to buy something in Canada, then you’ll have to pay with digital currency.Many people still don’t trust digital currency. Some people think that if they can’t hold their money in their hand, then it doesn’t seem real. These people don’t feel comfortable when they see numbers on a computer screen. The computer tells them that their money is safe, but these people don’t feel safe. Another problem is security. There are hackers all over the world. A hacker is a person who steals computer information. If a hacker gets the password of your digital currency account, he or she can steal your money.You have to decide whether or not you trust this new invention. Just remember one thing:If you want to buy something online, then you probably won’t have a choice. You’ll have to use digital money.24. The word “fair”(Para. 3) is closest in meaning to__________ .A. beautifulB. equalC. pleasantD. reasonable25. Which of the following is probably a hacker according to the passage?A. A person who uses a computer to steal things.B. A person who composes computer programs.C. A person who uses a computer to buy things.D. A person who owns a lot of digital currency.' 26. How do those who don’t trust digital currency think about money?A. The money on a computer screen is safe.B. The money in their hand is real.C. Real money is worth more than digital money.D. Real money and digital money are the same.27. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. Hacker problems in the world.B. Currencies used in particular countries.C. A new kind of money.D. Safety of digital currency.Questions 28 to 31 are based on the following passage.Zoos are hugely popular attractions for adults and children alike. But are they actually a good thing?Critics of zoos would argue that animals often suffer physically and mentally by being enclosed (封闭). Even the best artificial environments can^ come close to matching the space and freedom that animals have in their natural environments. This enclosure causes many zoo animals to become stressed or mentally ill. Capturing animals in the wild also causes much suffering by splitting up families. Some zoos make animals behave unnaturally. For example, in some parks dolphins (海豚)are forced to perform tricks, who may die decades earlier than their wild relatives. And some even try to kill themselves.On the other hand, by bringing people and animals together, zoos have the potential to educate the public about conservation issues and inspire people to protect animals and their natural environments. Some zoos provide a safe environment for animals which have been mistreated by people, or pets which have been abandoned. Zoos also carry out important research into subjects like animal behavior and how to treat illnesses. One of the most important modern functions of zoos is supporting international breeding(繁殖) programmes, particularly for endangered species(种群). In the wild,some of the rarest species have difficulty in finding mates and breeding. A good zoo will enable these species to live and breed in secure environments.So, are zoos good for animals or not? Perhaps it all depends on how well individual zoos are managed, and thebenefits of zoos can surely outweigh their harmful effects. However, it is understandable that many people believe imprisoning animals for any reason is simply wrong.28. The expression “artificial environments” (Para. 2)is used in contrast to_______________.A. natural environmentsB. some zoosC. breeding programmesD. modern functions29. Why are dolphins mentioned in Paragraph 2?A. They are ocean animals.B. They are good at performing.C. They are made to behave unnaturally in some parks.D. They are supported by international breeding programmes.30. According to the passage, international breeding programmes are particularly important to________.A. animals in zoosB. split-up familiesC. dolphins in parksD. endangered species31. What is the author’s attitude towards zoos?A. NegativeB. PositiveC. CriticalD. UnderstandableQuestions 32 to 35 are based on the following passage.How many times, when finding yourself in a difficult situation, have you heard something like, “You just need to go somewhere, change your environment, and meet new people.” Upon hearing this, we think such advice can be annoying:going through hard times, you rather expect help, sympathy, or at least something more practical, rather than “You know,you should travel”. However, the surprising truth is that this is probably one of the most useful and practical pieces of advice you can get.Of course, you cannot abandon everything and set off to go on a world trip. All of us have duties, responsibilities, debts, connections. However, the advice to travel does not necessarily imply something like departing to Nepal and living among monks(僧侣) for years. In fact, small but regular journeys are available almost to everyone, and the positive effects they can have on your mental condition and your ability to cope with difficulties are significant.When you are stressed,your thoughts obviously cannot be positive and optimistic(乐观的). So, whether you want it or not, you will view your life situation from a rather pessimistic perspective(悲观的视角). However,when you board a plane and fly overseas, you almost immediately start to feel your problems fade. “Out of sight, out of mind,’’ as the saying goes. Of course, I am not saying the easiest way to feel better is to escape from problems; I rather mean that taking a break and allowing yourself to breathe in some fresh air can give you a new perspective. Having a good rest is a necessary condition of any recovery, and your mind definitely needs rest from time to time.Speaking of new perspectives, when travelling, you will inevitably meet a lot of new people. Some of them will become friends of yours; some will remain strangers. Psychologists have known that perhaps the most honest and sincere communication often occurs between strangers;this is called "the companion effect”. Use it to your advantage. Whether you need advice, help, or a person who would quietly listen to you as you share your hardships, there is no better opportunity to get all this from strangers while travelling. Travelling can not solve your problems but will help you recover from your mental wounds, get rid of the excessive stress, and give you the skills to deal with your hardships as you return home.32. While in a difficult situation, people think the suggestion “ You just need to go somewhere”______. .A. annoyingB. surprisingC. practicalD. useful33. What does the advice to travel really mean in this passage?A. Finding a temple and living with the monks.B. Giving up your duties and departing to Nepal.C. Starting a small journey and getting yourself refreshed.D. Forgetting everything and starting a trip around the world.34. What does the word “ it ” (Para. 4) refer to?A. A trip.B. The communication.C. A new perspective.D. The companion effect.35. What is the probable title for this passage?A. Sincere Communication Is a Way Out of ProblemsB. Travelling Offers New Perspectives in Life SituationC. Going Through Hard Times Needs Help and SympathyD. Travelling Is the Best Way to Escape from ProblemsPart Ⅲ ClozeDirections: There is a passage in this part with 10 blanks in it.

When the car's owner John Anderson and his colleague Carol Lawrence returned to the car—which was itself worth £35, 000—in Glasgow city centre, they were 8 to find two policemen standing next to it. The policemen told them what Mr. Smith did and that the wallet was9 .The pair were later able to thank Mr. Smith for his 10 .Mr. Anderson said:"I couldn't believe that the guy never took a penny. To think he is sleeping on the streets tonight 11 he could have stolen the money and paid for a place to stay in.

Yet, I was determined to go ahead.I remember back to my 7th year in school. In my first P.E. class, the teacher required us to run laps and then hit a softball. I didn't do either well. He later informed me that I was "not athletic".The idea that I was "not athletic"stuck with me for years. When I started running in my 30s, I realized running was a battle against myself, not about competition or whether or not I was athletic. It was all about the battle against my own body and mind. A test of wills!The night before my marathon, I dreamt that I couldn't even find the finish line. I woke up sweating and nervous, but ready to prove something to myself.Shortly after crossing the start line, my shoe laces(鞋带) became untied. So I stopped to readjust. Not the start I wanted!At mile 3, I passed a sign: "GO FOR IT, RUNNERS!"By mile 17, I became out of breath and the once injured ankle hurt badly. Despite the pain, I stayed the course walking a bit and then running again.By mile 21, I was starving!As I approached mile 23, I could see my wife waving a sign. She is my biggest fan. She never minded the alarm clock sounding at 4 a.m. or questioned my expenses on running.I was one of the final runners to finish. But I finished! And I got a medal. In fact, I got the same medal as the one that the guy who came in first place had.Determined to be myself, move forward, free of shame and worldly labels(世俗标签), I can now call myself a "marathon winner".(1)A month before the marathon, the author ____________.A. was well trainedB. felt scaredC. made up his mind to runD. lost hope(2)Why did the author mention the P.E. class in his 7th year?A.

He made it.B. He quit halfway.C. He got the first prize.D. He walked to the end.(4)What does the story mainly tell us?A. A man owes his success to his family support.B. A winner is one with a great effort of will.C. Failure is the mother of success.D.

Almost half of that winds up in landfills(垃圾填埋场), and up to 12 million tons pollute the oceans. So far there is no effective way to get rid of it, but a new study suggests an answer may lie in the stomachs of some hungry worms.Researchers in Spain and England recently found that the worms of the greater wax moth can break down polyethylene, which accounts for 40% of plastics. The team left 100 wax worms on a commercial polyethylene shopping bag for 12 hours, and the worms consumed and broke down about 92 milligrams, or almost 3% of it. To confirm that the worms' chewing alone was not responsible for the polyethylene breakdown, the researchers made some worms into paste(糊状物) and applied it to plastic films. 14 hours later the films had lost 13% of their mass — apparently broken down by enzymes (酶) from the worms' stomachs. Their findings were published in Current Biology in 2017.Federica Bertocchini, co-author of the study, says the worms' ability to break down their everyday food —beeswax — also allows them to break down plastic. "Wax is a complex mixture, but the basic bond in polyethylene, the carbon-carbon bond, is there as well, "she explains, "The wax worm evolved a method or system to break this bond. "Jennifer DeBruyn, a microbiologist at the University of Tennessee, who was not involved in the study, says it is not surprising that such worms can break down polyethylene. But compared with previous studies, she finds the speed of breaking down in this one exciting. The next step, DeBruyn says, will be to identify the cause of the breakdown. Is it an enzyme produced by the worm itself or by its gut microbes(肠道微生物)?Bertocchini agrees and hopes her team's findings might one day help employ the enzyme to break downplastics in landfills. But she expects using the chemical in some kind of industrial process — not simply "millions of worms thrown on top of the plastic."(1)What can we learn about the worms in the study?A. They take plastics as their everyday food.B. They are newly evolved creatures.C. They can consume plastics.D. They wind up in landfills.(2)According to Jennifer DeBruyn, the next step of the study is to .A. identify other means of the breakdownB. find out the source of the enzymeC. confirm the research findingsD. increase the breakdown speed(3)It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the chemical might .A. help to raise wormsB. help make plastic bagsC. be used to clean the oceansD. be produced in factories in future(4)What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To explain a study method on worms.B. To introduce the diet of a special worm.C. To present a way to break down plastics.D. To propose new means to keep eco-balance.20.(2018•北京)阅读理解DPreparing Cities for Robot CarsThe possibility of self-driving robot cars has often seemed like a futurist's dream, years away from materializing in the real world. Well, the future is apparently now. The California Department of Motor Vehicles began giving permits in April for companies to test truly self-driving cars on public roads. The state also cleared the way for companies to sell or rent out self-driving cars, and for companies to operate driverless taxi services. California, it should be noted, isn't leading the way here. Companies have been testing their vehicles in cities across the country. It's hard to predict when driverless cars will be everywhere on our roads. But however long it takes, the technology has the potential to change our transportation systems and our cities, for better or for worse, depending on how the transformation is regulated.While much of the debate so far has been focused on the safety of driverless cars(and rightfully so), policymakers also should be talking about how self-driving vehicles can help reduce traffic jams, cut emissions(排放) and offer more convenient, affordable mobility options. The arrival of driverless vehicles is a chance to make sure that those vehicles are environmentally friendly and more shared.Do we want to copy — or even worsen — the traffic of today with driverless cars? Imagine a future where most adults own individual self-driving vehicles. They tolerate long, slow journeys to and from work on packed highways because they can work, entertain themselves or sleep on the ride, which encourages urban spread. They take their driverless car to an appointment and set the empty vehicle to circle the building to avoid paying for parking. Instead of walking a few blocks to pick up a child or the dry cleaning, they send the self-driving minibus. The convenience even leads fewer people to take public transport — an unwelcome side effect researchers have already found in ride-hailing(叫车) services.A study from the University of California at Davis suggested that replacing petrol-powered private cars worldwide with electric, self-driving and shared systems could reduce carbon emissions from transportation 80% and cut the cost of transportation infrastructure(基础设施) and operations 40% by 2050. Fewer emissions and cheaper travel sound pretty appealing. The first commercially available driverless cars will almost certainly befielded by ride-hailing services, considering the cost of self-driving technology as well as liability and maintenance issues(责任与维护问题). But driverless car ownership could increase as the prices drop and more people become comfortable with the technology.Policymakers should start thinking now about how to make sure the appearance of driverless vehicles doesn't extend the worst aspects of the car-controlled transportation system we have today. The coming technological advancement presents a chance for cities and states to develop transportation systems designed to move more people, and more affordably. The car of the future is coming. We just have to plan for it.(1)According to the author, attention should be paid to how driverless cars can __________.A. help deal with transportation-related problemsB. provide better services to customersC. cause damage to our environmentD. make some people lose jobs(2)As for driverless cars, what is the author's major concern?A. Safety.B. Side effects.C. Affordability.D. Management.(3)What does the underlined word "fielded"in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A. Employed.B. Replaced.C. Shared.D. Reduced.(4)What is the author's attitude to the future of self-driving cars?A. Doubtful.B. Positive.C. Disapproving.D. Sympathetic.四、任务型阅读21.(2018•北京)任务型阅读Why Do We Get Angry?Anger seems simple when we are feeling it, but the causes of anger are various. Knowing these causes can make us examine our behavior, and correct bad habits. The main reasons we get angry are triggering(触发)events, personality traits(特征), and our assessment of situations. ________Triggering events for anger are so many that to describe them all would take hundreds of pages. However, here are some examples: being cut off in traffic, a deadline approaching, experiencing physical pain, and much more.________ The reason why someone is triggered by something and others are not is often due to one's personal history and psychological traits.Each person, no matter who they are, has psychological imbalances. People who have personality traits that connect with competitiveness and low upset tolerance are much more likely to get angry. ________ Also, sometimes pre-anger does not have to do with a lasting condition, but rather a temporary state before a triggering event has occurred.________Sometimes even routine occurrences become sources of pre-anger, or anger itself. Sometimes ignorance and negative (消极的) outlooks on situations can create anger.________However, anger can easily turn violent, and it is best to know the reasons for anger to appear in order to prevent its presence. With these main reasons in mind, we can evaluate our level of anger throughout the day and prevent cases of outbursts by comprehending the reasons for our feelings.A. Our attitude and viewpoint on situations can create anger within us as well.B. But some types of situations can help us to get rid of the occurrence of anger.C. Anger is rarely looked upon as a beneficial character trait, and is usually advised to reduce it.D. Anger is a particularly strong feeling and maybe people think that they have reasons to feel angry.E. Having these personality traits implies the pre-anger state, where anger is in the background of your mind.F. Understanding these reasons will control our own anger if we are willing to evaluate ourselves with a critical eye.G. Not everyone acts the same in response to events, and that is why what triggers one person may or may not trigger another.五、书面表达22.(2018•北京)假设你是红星中学高三学生李华,你的英国朋友Jim在给你的邮件中提到他对中国文化感兴趣,计划明年来北京上大学。

For the second time in five months, a 23-year-old California woman has been arrested after she crashed her car while driving under theinfluence(DUI)at the exact same spot north of Lake Tahoe.And to top it off, Truckee Police say that in both cases, her blood alcohol content was more than three times the legal limit.The police say Melissa Dennison of Truckee crashed at about noon on Sunday on Glenshire Drive just south of the Glenshire Bridge. They say she was extremely drunk and had trouble standing or walking.Her blood alcohol level initially was measured at 346. The legal limit.08.Sergeant J. Litchie said Dennison also had been charged with a DUI in January when she crashed at the same spot and registered a blood alcohol level of 380. If found guilty of the second offense, she faces up to 10 years in prison and fines in excess of 2.000.A telephone message the Associated Press left at a listing for Dennison in Truckee on Tuesday was not immediately returned.Who is the author of the passage?36.A.

Punished.Passage TwoThere were many different cultures in the ancient world, but the two that had the most influence on European and American civilizations were the Greek and the Roman. Often these two cultures are lumped together in our minds, as if they were really exactly alike. But that is not the case. In many ways the Greeks and the Romans could not have been more different.The Greeks were truly democratic, often without a single leader but instead governed by a group of men chosen by the people. The Romans were semi-democratic. They had a governing Senate, but the political power was mostly or completely in the hands of a single emperor.Both cultures were great builders. But the construction interests of the two cultures were also different. The Greeks tended to be moreartistic. Their buildings were well constructed and they were especially interested in temples, columns, and decorative forms. The Romans, on the other hand, were more engineers than artists. They concentrated their efforts on urban planning, well-functioning water pipes, and the best roads.Only in cooking and eating habits are the two cultures really similar. Both peoples ate very well indeed: lots of fish, fresh vegetables and fruits, healthy meals, holding at the same time long discussions and tasting excellent wines.In fact, it would probably be fair to say that they both loved life in their warm,sea-oriented climates and they both lived a full life.40. What is the first paragraph about?A. The Greek and the Roman were similar.B. People misunderstood European civilization.C. Greek civilization was quite different from Roman civilization.D. European civilization influenced American civilization greatly.41. Which of the following is TRUE?A. The Romans had more political awareness.B. The Romans had less political freedom and democracy.C. The Romans had more freedom to choose their leader.D. The Romans had fewer people elected into the government.42. What were the Greeks famous for?A. The overall planning of a city or a town.B. The artistic decoration of the buildings.C. The practical functions of the buildings.aD. The system of water supply and transportation.43. How are the two cultures alike?A. Both loved the sea.B. Both lived long lives.C. Both loved cookingD. Both enjoyed talking over meals.Passage ThreeAs recently as three decades ago, many Americans believed that using credit was an unwise and dangerous way to pay for what they bought. Some even thought that owing money to a store or a credit company was something to be ashamed of. Good citizens, they believed, always bought what they wanted with real money and they paid the full price immediately. Today, however, all that has changed. Credit, as some observers have noted, has become a way of life in the United States. More and more Americans now are depending on those small pieces of plastic, credit cards,to pay for large purchases such as televisions, record players or furniture. Many people today would consider it unusual not to use a credit card to pay for a costly restaurant dinner, a hotel room or an airline trip. And there are some situations in which Americans must have credit cards. If they want the temporary use of a car, for example, they first must give the car rental company the number of their credit card. That number is considered a guarantee that they will return the car and pay Credit cards offer two major services to Americans. First of all, they are easier and safer to carry than large amounts of money. Second, they permit people to borrow, to have the immediate pleasure of owning something, even if they do not have enough money to pay for it at the time. With credit cards people pay for goods or services at the end of each month instead of when they buy them. And when the time does come to pay, mostcredit cards offer people a choice. They can pay all of what they owe for the month or they can just pay usually between 5 and 10 percent of what they owe.44. What do Americans feel about using credit cards nowadays according to the passage?A. They consider it valuable.B. They regard it as a shame.C. They think it dangerous.D. They find it quite convenient.45. Why does the car rental company ask for the credit card number?A. To prevent the overuse of the car.B. To make sure that the car won't be damaged.C. To make sure the user return the car and pay for using it.D. To ensure that the car is safely and timely returned.46. What advantage can credit card holders have?A. They can choose not to pay for their purchases.B. They can easily borrow money at a lower interest.C. They can own something before they actually pay for it.D. They can pay only a small amount of what they owe.47. What is the best title for the passage?A. Credit-a Way of Life in AmericaB. Credit Services in AmericaC. Convenience of Living in AmericaD. History of Credit Cards in AmericaPassage FourAt the 1893 Columbian Exposition, a World Fair held in Chicago, chocolate-making machinery made in Germany was displayed. It caught the eye of M. S. Hershey, who saw the potential for chocolate. He installedchocolate machinery in his factory in Lancaster, and produced his first chocolate bars in 1894.Other Americans began mixing in other materials to make up new candy bars throughout the end of the 1890's and the early 1900's. But it was World War I that really brought attention to the candy bar.The U. S. Army Quartermaster Corps requested various American chocolate manufacturers to provide 20 to 40 pound blocks of chocolate to be shipped to quartermaster bases. The blocks were cut into smaller distributed to American soldiers in Europe. Eventually the task of making smaller pieces was turned back to the manufacturers. By the end of the war when the soldiers arrived home, the American candy bar business was assured. Why? Because the returning soldiers had grown fond of chocolate candy and wanted more of the same. As a result from that time on and through the 1920's, candy bar manufacturers became established throughout theUnited States, and as many as 40, 000 different candy bars appeared on the scene.The original candy bar industry had its start on the eastern coast in such cities as Philadelphia, Boston, and New York. The industry soon spread to the Midwest because shipping and raw materials such as sugar, corn syrup, and milk were easily available. Chicago became the seat of the candy bar industry and is even today an important base.48. Why did M. S. Hershey start the production of chocolate bars?A. He was deeply impressed by the Columbian Exposition.B. He realized that it was possible for chocolate to become popularC. There was nothing to produce in his factory in Lancaster.D. He was interested in the chocolate machinery displayed at the fair49. Which event brought the booming of American candy bar business?A. The adding of new materials.B. The demand in the army during WWI.C. The purchase of new machinesD. The appearance of smaller candy bars.50. What does the underlined word seatin the last paragraph most probably mean?A. Focus.B. Position.C. Chair.D. Center51. What is this passage mainly about?A. World Fair held in Chicago in 1893.B. The popularity of the American candy bar industry.oC. The candy bar industry during World War.D. The spread of the candy bar business to the Midwest.Passage FiveMark Twain is one of America's much-beloved authors, creating imaginative and humorous classics for children and adults alike, such as The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, The Prince and The Pauper,and Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Twain passed away in 1910, leaving behind a treasure of great literature.

But that is not the case. In many ways the Greeks and the Romans could not have been more diferent.The Greeks were tmuly democratic , often without a single leader but instad govemed by a group of men chosen by the people. The Romans were semi-democratic. They had a governing Senate , but the political power was mostly or completely in the hands of a single emperor.Both cultures were great builders. But the construction interests of the two cultures were also different.The Greeks tended to be more artistic. Theirbuildings were well constructed and they were especially interested in temples,columns , and decorative forms. The Romans, on the other hand , were moreengineers than artists. They concentrated their efforts on urban planning , well-functioning water pipes, and the best roads.Only in cooking and eating habits are the two cultures really similar. Both peoples ate very well indeed: lots of fish, fresh vegetables and fruits, healthy meals ,holding at the same time long discussions and tasting excellent wines.In fact, it would probably be fair to say that they both loved lfe in their warm, sea-oriented climates, and they both lived a full life.40. What is the first paragraph about?——[单选题]A The Greek and the Roman were similar.B People misunderstood European civilization.C Greek civilization was quite different from Roman civilizationD European crilizatin inluenced American civilization greatly正确答案:C41、Which of the following is TRUE?——[单选题]A The Romans had more political awarenessB The Romans had less plitical feedom and demoracyC The Romans had more feedom to choose their leaderD The Romans had fewer people elected into the govemment正确答案:B42、 What were the Greeks famous for?——[单选题]A The overall planning of a city or a townB The atistic decoration of the buildingsC The pracical functions of the buildingsD The system of water spply and tansporation正确答案:B43、 How are the two cultures alike?——[单选题]A Both loved the seaB Both lived long livesC Both loved cookingD Both enjoyed talking over meals正确答案:D44、 Passage ThreeAs recently as three decades ago,many Americans believed that using credit wasan unwise and dangerous way to pay for what they bought.Some even though thatowing money to a store or a credit company was something to be ashamed of.Good citizens,they believed,always bought what they wanted with real money and theypaid the full price immediately.Today, however, all that has changed,Credit,as some observers have noted,has become a way of life in the United States.More and more Americans mow are depending on those small pieces of plastic,credit cards,to pay for large purchases such as televisions,record players or furniture.Many people today would considerit unususal not to use a credit card to pay for a costly restaurant dinner,a hotel room or an airline trip.And there are some situations in which Americans must have credit cards.If they want the temporary use of a car,for example,they first must give the cae rental company the number of their credit card.That number is considered a guarantee that they will return the car and pay for using it.Credit cards offer two major services to Americans.First of all,they are easier and safer to carry than large amounts of money.Second,they permit people to borrow, to have the immediate pleasure of owning something,eeven if they do not have enough money to pay for it at the time.With credit cards people pay for goods or services at the end of each month insted of when they buy them.And when the time dose come to pay,most credit cards offer people a choice.They can pay all of what they owe for the month or they can just pay usually between 5and 10percent of what they owe.44.What do Americans feel about using credit cards nowadays according to the passage?——[单选题]A They consider it valuableB They regard it as a shameC They think it dangerousD They find it quiet convenient正确答案:D45、Why dose the car rental company ask for the credit card number?——[单选题]A To prevent the overuse of the carB To make sure that the car won't be damagedC To make sure the user return the car and pay for using itD To ensure that the car is safely and timely returned正确答案:C46、What advantage can credit card holders have?——[单选题]A They can choose not to pay for their purchasesB They can easily borrow money at a lower interestC They can own something before they actually pay for itD They can pay only a small amount of what they owe正确答案:C47、What is the best title for the passage?——[单选题]A Credit-a Way of Life in AmericaB Credit Services in AmericaC Convenience of Living in AmericaD History of Credit Cards in America正确答案:A48、 Passage FourAt the 1893 Columbian Exposition,a World Fair Held in Chicago,chocolate-making machinery made in Germany was displaued.It caught the eye of M.S Hershey.who saw the potential for chocolate.He installed chocolate machinery in his factory in Lancaster,and produced his first chocolate bars in 1894.Other Americans began mixing in other materials to make up new candy bars throughout the end of the 1890's and the early 1900's.But it was World War I that really brought attention to the candy bar.The U. S. Army Quartermaster Corps requested various American chocolate manufacturers to provide 20 to 40 pound blocks of chocolate to be shipped to quartermaster bases. The blocks were cut into smaller pieces and distributed toAmerican soldiers in Europe. Eventually the task of making smaller pieces was turned back to the manufacturers. By the end of the war when the soldiers arrived home, the American candy bar business was assured. " Why? Because the returming soldiers had grown fond of chocolate candy and wanted more of the same. As a result, from that time on and through the 1920' s, candy bar manufacturers became established throughout the United States, and as many as 40 ,000 different candy bars appeared on the scene.The original candy bar industry had its start on the eastern coast in such cities as Philadelphia,Boston, and New York. The industry soon spread to the Midwest because shipping and raw materials such as sugar , com syrup, and milk were easily available. Chicago became the seat of the candy bar industry and is even today an important base.48. Why did M. S. Hershey start the production of chocolate bars?——[单选题]A He was deeply impressed by the Columbian Exposition.B He realized that it was possible for chocolate to become popular.C There was nothing to produce in his factory in Lancaster.D He was interested in the chocolate machinery displayed at the fair.正确答案:B49、Which event brought the booming of American candy bar business?——[单选题]A The adding of new materials.B The demand in the army during WWI.C The purchase of new machines.D The appearance of smaller candy bars.正确答案:B50、What does the underlined word“seat" in the last paragraph most probably mean?——[单选题]A FocusB PositionC ChairD Center正确答案:D51、What is this passage mainly about?——[单选题]A A World Fair held in Chicago in 1893.B The popularity of the American candy bar industry.C The candy bar industry during World Ward ID The spread of the candy bar business to the Midwest.正确答案:B52、 Passage FiveMark Twain is one of America ’s much-beloved authors ,creating imaginative and humorous classics for children and a dults alike, such as The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, The Prince and The Pauper , and Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Twain passed away in 1910, leaving behind a treasure of great literature. But now , 100 years after his death, he' ll have a brand new book on the shelves: a three-volume autobiography.Twain hasn't been keeping busy in his tomb: it was his wish that publishers wait until 100 years afer his death to publish his memoirs (自传), which he spent the last decade of his life working on.The autobiography totals more than 5 ,000 pages, and likely won' t be all sunshine and roses. It seems that Twain habored some biternes against former gnfiends and ex fiends. He also writes negatively about plitins of his day, such as Teddy Roosevlt.It' s likely that he requested such a long lead time for the memoirs because he didn' t want to hurt the feelings of anyone mentioned in this work.Although small sectiois of the memoirs have been periously published ,the autobiography has never been avilable in full, and should provide great insights into the man behind the Classic books. The first volume of the set will be available in November, and the trilogy is being published by the University of California, Berkeley.“There are so many bogaphies of Twain, and many of them have used bits and pieces of the autobiography, ”edior Robert Hirst told The Independent.“ But biographers pick and choose what bits to quote. By pubising Twain's book in full we hope that people will be able to come to their own complete conclusions about what sort of a man he was."52. According to Paragraph 1, which of the following statements is TRUE of Mark Twain?——[单选题]A He left behind lots of moneyB His works were written for children.C His works are full of adventures.D He is famous for his great works.正确答案:D53、What can we learn about Mark Twain' s autobiography from the passage?——[单选题]A It has been published against Twain’s will.B It shows Twain’s respect for politicians.C It will be published in full.D It has been recently finished.正确答案:C54、What does the underlined word“trilogy" i n. Paragraph 4 mean?——[单选题]A A work in three volumes.B An imaginative work.C A collection of stories.D Memoirs of famous people.正确答案:A55、What is the purpose of publishing Twain’s autobiography?——[单选题]A To supplement other biographies.B To help readers to understand Mark Twain.C To introduce Mark Twain' s works.D To expose new discoveries about Mark Twain.正确答案:B56、V.

When the car's owner John Anderson and his colleague Carol Lawrence returned to the car—which was itself worth £35, 000—in Glasgow city centre, they were 8 to find two policemen standing next to it.

Yet, I was determined to go ahead.I remember back to my 7th year in school. In my first P.E. class, the teacher required us to run laps and then hit a softball. I didn't do either well. He later informed me that I was "not athletic".The idea that I was "not athletic"stuck with me for years. When I started running in my 30s, I realized running was a battle against myself, not about competition or whether or not I was athletic. It was all about the battle against my own body and mind. A test of wills!The night before my marathon, I dreamt that I couldn't even find the finish line. I woke up sweating and nervous, but ready to prove something to myself.Shortly after crossing the start line, my shoe laces(鞋带) became untied. So I stopped to readjust. Not the start I wanted!At mile 3, I passed a sign: "GO FOR IT, RUNNERS!"By mile 17, I became out of breath and the once injured ankle hurt badly. Despite the pain, I stayed the course walking a bit and then running again.By mile 21, I was starving!As I approached mile 23, I could see my wife waving a sign. She is my biggest fan. She never minded the alarm clock sounding at 4 a.m. or questioned my expenses on running.I was one of the final runners to finish. But I finished! And I got a medal. In fact, I got the same medal as the one that the guy who came in first place had.Determined to be myself, move forward, free of shame and worldly labels(世俗标签), I can now call myself a "marathon winner".(1)A month before the marathon, the author ____________.A. was well trainedB. felt scaredC. made up his mind to runD. lost hope(2)Why did the author mention the P.E. class in his 7th year?A.

He made it.B. He quit halfway.C. He got the first prize.D. He walked to the end.(4)What does the story mainly tell us?A. A man owes his success to his family support.B. A winner is one with a great effort of will.C. Failure is the mother of success.D. One is never too old to learn.18.(2018•北京)阅读理解BFind Your Adventure at the Space and Aviation(航空) CenterIf you're looking for a unique adventure, the Space and Aviation Center (SAC) is the place to be. The Center offers programs designed to challenge and inspire with hands-on tasks and lots of fun.More than 750,000 have graduated from SAC, with many seeking employment in engineering, aviation, education, medicine and a wide variety of other professions. They come to camp, wanting to know what it is like to be an astronaut or a pilot, and they leave with real-world applications for what they're studying in the classroom.For the trainees, the programs also offer a great way to earn merit badges(荣誉徽章). At Space Camp, trainees can earn their Space Exploration badge as they build and fire model rockets, learn about space tasks and try simulated(模拟) flying to space with the crew from all over the world. The Aviation Challenge program gives trainees the chance to earn their Aviation badge. They learn the principles of flight and test their operating skills in the cockpit(驾驶舱) of a variety of flight simulators. Trainees also get a good start on their Wilderness Survival badge as they learn about water- and land-survival through designed tasks and their search and rescue of "downed"pilot.With all the programs, teamwork is key as trainees learn the importance of leadership and being part of a bigger task.All this fun is available for ages 9 to 18. Families can enjoy the experience together, too, with Family Camp programs for families with children as young as 7.Stay an hour or stay a week — there is something here for everyone!For more details, please visit us online at .(1)Why do people come to SAC?A.

Almost half of that winds up in landfills(垃圾填埋场), and up to 12 million tons pollute the oceans. So far there is no effective way to get rid of it, but a new study suggests an answer may lie in the stomachs of some hungry worms.Researchers in Spain and England recently found that the worms of the greater wax moth can break down polyethylene, which accounts for 40% of plastics. The team left 100 wax worms on a commercial polyethylene shopping bag for 12 hours, and the worms consumed and broke down about 92 milligrams, or almost 3% of it. To confirm that the worms' chewing alone was not responsible for the polyethylene breakdown, the researchers made some worms into paste(糊状物) and applied it to plastic films. 14 hours later the films had lost 13% of their mass — apparently broken down by enzymes (酶) from the worms' stomachs. Their findings were published in Current Biology in 2017.Federica Bertocchini, co-author of the study, says the worms' ability to break down their everyday food —beeswax — also allows them to break down plastic. "Wax is a complex mixture, but the basic bond in polyethylene, the carbon-carbon bond, is there as well, "she explains, "The wax worm evolved a method or system to break this bond. "Jennifer DeBruyn, a microbiologist at the University of Tennessee, who was not involved in the study, says it is not surprising that such worms can break down polyethylene. But compared with previous studies, she finds the speed of breaking down in this one exciting. The next step, DeBruyn says, will be to identify the cause of the breakdown. Is it an enzyme produced by the worm itself or by its gut microbes(肠道微生物)?Bertocchini agrees and hopes her team's findings might one day help employ the enzyme to break downplastics in landfills. But she expects using the chemical in some kind of industrial process — not simply "millions of worms thrown on top of the plastic."(1)What can we learn about the worms in the study?A. They take plastics as their everyday food.B. They are newly evolved creatures.C. They can consume plastics.D. They wind up in landfills.(2)According to Jennifer DeBruyn, the next step of the study is to .A. identify other means of the breakdownB. find out the source of the enzymeC. confirm the research findingsD. increase the breakdown speed(3)It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the chemical might .A. help to raise wormsB. help make plastic bagsC. be used to clean the oceansD. be produced in factories in future(4)What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To explain a study method on worms.B. To introduce the diet of a special worm.C. To present a way to break down plastics.D. To propose new means to keep eco-balance.20.(2018•北京)阅读理解DPreparing Cities for Robot CarsThe possibility of self-driving robot cars has often seemed like a futurist's dream, years away from materializing in the real world. Well, the future is apparently now. The California Department of Motor Vehicles began giving permits in April for companies to test truly self-driving cars on public roads. The state also cleared the way for companies to sell or rent out self-driving cars, and for companies to operate driverless taxi services. California, it should be noted, isn't leading the way here. Companies have been testing their vehicles in cities across the country. It's hard to predict when driverless cars will be everywhere on our roads. But however long it takes, the technology has the potential to change our transportation systems and our cities, for better or for worse, depending on how the transformation is regulated.While much of the debate so far has been focused on the safety of driverless cars(and rightfully so), policymakers also should be talking about how self-driving vehicles can help reduce traffic jams, cut emissions(排放) and offer more convenient, affordable mobility options. The arrival of driverless vehicles is a chance to make sure that those vehicles are environmentally friendly and more shared.Do we want to copy — or even worsen — the traffic of today with driverless cars? Imagine a future where most adults own individual self-driving vehicles. They tolerate long, slow journeys to and from work on packed highways because they can work, entertain themselves or sleep on the ride, which encourages urban spread. They take their driverless car to an appointment and set the empty vehicle to circle the building to avoid paying for parking. Instead of walking a few blocks to pick up a child or the dry cleaning, they send the self-driving minibus. The convenience even leads fewer people to take public transport — an unwelcome side effect researchers have already found in ride-hailing(叫车) services.A study from the University of California at Davis suggested that replacing petrol-powered private cars worldwide with electric, self-driving and shared systems could reduce carbon emissions from transportation 80% and cut the cost of transportation infrastructure(基础设施) and operations 40% by 2050. Fewer emissions and cheaper travel sound pretty appealing. The first commercially available driverless cars will almost certainly befielded by ride-hailing services, considering the cost of self-driving technology as well as liability and maintenance issues(责任与维护问题). But driverless car ownership could increase as the prices drop and more people become comfortable with the technology.Policymakers should start thinking now about how to make sure the appearance of driverless vehicles doesn't extend the worst aspects of the car-controlled transportation system we have today. The coming technological advancement presents a chance for cities and states to develop transportation systems designed to move more people, and more affordably. The car of the future is coming. We just have to plan for it.(1)According to the author, attention should be paid to how driverless cars can __________.A. help deal with transportation-related problemsB. provide better services to customersC. cause damage to our environmentD. make some people lose jobs(2)As for driverless cars, what is the author's major concern?A. Safety.B. Side effects.C. Affordability.D. Management.(3)What does the underlined word "fielded"in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A. Employed.B. Replaced.C. Shared.D. Reduced.(4)What is the author's attitude to the future of self-driving cars?A. Doubtful.B. Positive.C. Disapproving.D. Sympathetic.四、任务型阅读21.(2018•北京)任务型阅读Why Do We Get Angry?Anger seems simple when we are feeling it, but the causes of anger are various. Knowing these causes can make us examine our behavior, and correct bad habits. The main reasons we get angry are triggering(触发)events, personality traits(特征), and our assessment of situations. ________Triggering events for anger are so many that to describe them all would take hundreds of pages. However, here are some examples: being cut off in traffic, a deadline approaching, experiencing physical pain, and much more.________ The reason why someone is triggered by something and others are not is often due to one's personal history and psychological traits.Each person, no matter who they are, has psychological imbalances. People who have personality traits that connect with competitiveness and low upset tolerance are much more likely to get angry. ________ Also, sometimes pre-anger does not have to do with a lasting condition, but rather a temporary state before a triggering event has occurred.________Sometimes even routine occurrences become sources of pre-anger, or anger itself. Sometimes ignorance and negative (消极的) outlooks on situations can create anger.________However, anger can easily turn violent, and it is best to know the reasons for anger to appear in order to prevent its presence. With these main reasons in mind, we can evaluate our level of anger throughout the day and prevent cases of outbursts by comprehending the reasons for our feelings.A. Our attitude and viewpoint on situations can create anger within us as well.B. But some types of situations can help us to get rid of the occurrence of anger.C. Anger is rarely looked upon as a beneficial character trait, and is usually advised to reduce it.D. Anger is a particularly strong feeling and maybe people think that they have reasons to feel angry.E. Having these personality traits implies the pre-anger state, where anger is in the background of your mind.F. Understanding these reasons will control our own anger if we are willing to evaluate ourselves with a critical eye.G. Not everyone acts the same in response to events, and that is why what triggers one person may or may not trigger another.五、书面表达22.(2018•北京)假设你是红星中学高三学生李华,你的英国朋友Jim在给你的邮件中提到他对中国文化感兴趣,计划明年来北京上大学。

The legal limit is.08.Sergeant J.Litchie said Dennison also had been charged with a DUI in January when she crashed at the same spot and registered a blood alcohol level of.380.If found guilty of the second offense,she faces up to10years in prison and fines in excess of$2,000.A telephone message the Associated Press left at a listing for Dennison in Truckee on Tuesday was not immediately returned. 36.Who is the author of the passage?A.A passenger.B A policeman.C.A judge.D.A journalist.37.Why couldn't the woman stand and walk?A.She had lost too much blood.B.She was scared.C She drank too much.D.She had a sudden stomachache.38.Why could the woman be Imprisoned for10years?A.She was caught DUI twice.B.She had her car crashed.C.She refused to take a blood test.D.She drove without a driving license.39.What does the word"nabbed"in the title mean?A.Arrested.B.Attacked.C.Charged.D.Punished.Passage TwoThere were many different cultures in the ancient world,butthe two that had the most influence on European and American civilizations were the Greek and the Roman.Often these two cultures are lumped together in our minds,as if they were really exactly alike.But that is not the case.In many ways the Greeks and the Romans could not have been more different.The Greeks were truly democratic,often without a single leader but instead governed by a group of men chosen by the people.The Romans were semi-democratic.They had a governing Senate,but the political power was mostly or completely in the hands of a single emperor.Both cultures were great builders.But the construction interests of the two cultures were also different.The Greeks tended to be more artistic.Their buildings were well constructed and they were especially interested in temples,columns,and decorative forms.The Romans,on the other hand,were more engineers than artists.They concentrated their efforts on urban planning,well-functioning water pipes,and the best roads.Only in cooking and eating habits are the two cultures really similar.Both peoples ate very well indeed:lots of fish,fresh vegetables and fruits,healthy meals,holding at the same time long discussions and tasting excellent wines.In fact,it would probably be fair to say that they both loved lifein their warm,sea-oriented climates,and they both lived a full life.40.What is the first paragraph about?A.The Greek and the Roman were similar.B People misunderstood European civilization.C.Greek civilization was quite different from Roman civilization.D.European civilization influenced American civilization greatly.41.Which of the following is TRUE?A.The Romans had more political awareness.B.The Romans had less political freedom and democracy.C.The Romans had more freedom to choose their leader.D.The Romans had fewer people elected into the government.42.What were the Greeks famous for?A.The overall planning of a city or a town.B.The artistic decoration of the buildings.C.The practical functions of the buildings.D.The system of water supply and transportation.3.How are the two cultures alike?A.Both loved the sea.B.Both lived long lives.C.Both loved cooking.D Both enjoyed talking over meals.Passage ThreeAs recently as three decades ago,many Americans believed that using credit was an unwise and dangerous way to pay for what they bought.Some even thought that owing money to a store or a thing to be credit company was something to be ashamed of.Good citizens,they believed,always bought what they wanted with real money and they paid the full price immediately.Today,however,all that has changed.Credit,as some observers have noted,has become a way of life in the United States. More and more Americans now are depending on those small pieces of plastic,credit cards,to pay for large purchases such as televisions,record players or furniture.Many people today would consider it unusual not to use a credit card to pay for a costly restaurant diner,a hotel room or an airline trip.And there are some situations in which Americans must have credit cards.If they want the temporary use of a car,for example,they first must give the car rental company the number of their credit card.That number is considered a guarantee that they will return the car and pay for using it.Credit cards otter two major services to Americans.First of all, they are easier and safer to carry than large amounts of money. Second,they permit people to borrow,to have the immediatepleasure of owning something,even if they do not have enough money to pay for it at the time.With credit cards people pay for goods or services at the end of each month instead of when they buy them.And when the time does come to pay,most credit cards offer people a choice.They can pay all of what they owe for the month or they can just pay usually between5and10percent of what they owe.44.What do Americans feel about using credit cards nowadays according to the passage?A.They consider it valuable.B.They regard it as a shame.C.They think it dangerous.D.They find it quite convenient.45.Why does the car rental company ask for the credit card number?A.To prevent the overuse of the car.B.To make sure that the car won't be damaged.C.To make sure the user return the car and pay for using it.D.To ensure that the car is safely and timely returned46.What advantage can credit card holders have?A.They can choose not to pay for their purchasesB.They can easily borrow money at a lower interestC.They can own something before they actually pay for it.D.They can pay only a small amount of what they owe.47.What is the best tittle for the passage?A.Credit--a Way of Life in AmericaB.Credit Services in America.C.Convenience of Living in AmericaD.History of Credit Cards in AmericaPassage FourAt the1893Columbian Exposition,a World Fair held in Chicago, chocolate-making machinery made in Germany was displayed.It caught the eye of M.S.Hershey,who saw the potential for chocolate.He installed chocolate machinery in his factory in Lancaster,and produced his first chocolate bars in1894.Other Americans began mixing in other materials to make up new candy bars throughout the end of the1890's and the early 1900's.But it was World War I that really brought attention to the candy bar.The U.S.Army Quartermaster Corps requested various American chocolate manufacturers to provide20to40pound blocks of chocolate to be shipped to quartermaster bases.The blocks were cut into smaller pieces and distributed to American soldiers in Europe.Eventually the task of making smaller pieces wasturned back to the manufacturers.By the end of the war when the soldiers arrived home,the American candy bar business was assured.Why?Because the returning soldiers had grown fond of chocolate candy and wanted more of the same.As a result.from that time on and through the1920’s,candy bar manufacturers became established throughout the United States,and as many as 40,000different candy bars appeared on the scene.The original candy bar industry had its start on the eastern coast in such cities as Philadelphia,Boston,and New York.The industry soon spread to the Midwest because shipping and raw materials such as sugar,corn syrup,and milk were easily available. Chicago became the seat of the candy bar industry and is even today an important base.48.Why did M.S.Hershey start the production of chocolate bars?A.He was deeply impressed by the Columbian Exposition.B.He realized that it was possible for chocolate to become popular.C.There was nothing to produce in his factory in Lancaster.D.He was interested in the chocolate machinery displayed at the fair.49.Which event brought the booming of American candy bar business?A.The adding of new materialsB.The demand in the army during WWIC The purchase of new machinesD.The appearance of smaller candy bars50.What does the underlined word"seat"in the last paragraph most probably mean?A.FocusB.PositionC.ChairD.Center51.What is this passage mainly about?A.A World Fair held in Chicago in1893.B.The popularity of the American candy bar industry.C.The candy bar industry during World War I.D.The spread of the candy bar business to the Midwest.Passage FiveMark Twain is one of America's much-beloved authors, creating imaginative and humorous classics for children and adults alike,such as The Adventures of Tom Sawyer,The Prince and The Pauper,and Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.Twain passed away in 1910,leaving behind a treasure of great literature.But now,100 years after his death,he'll have a brand-new book on the shelves:a three-volume autobiography.Twain hasn't been keeping busy in his tomb:it was his wish that publishers wait until100years after his death to publish his memoirs(自传),which he spent the last decade of his life working on.The autobiography totals more than5,000pages,and likely won't be all sunshine and roses.It seems that Twain harbored some bitterness against former girlfriends and ex-friends.He also writes negatively about politicians of his day,such as Teddy Roosevelt.It,s likely that he requested such a long lead time for the memoirs because he didn't want to hurt the feelings of anyone mentioned in this work.Although small sections of the memoirs have been previously published,the autobiography has never been available in full,and should provide great insights into the man behind he classic books.The first volume of the set will be available in November,and the trilogy is being published by the University of California, Berkeley.There are so many biographies of Twain,and many of them have used bits and pieces of the autobiography,editor Robert Hirst told The Independent."But biographers pick and choose what bits to quote.By publishing wain's book in full,we hope that people will be able to come to their own complete conclusions about what sortof a man he was.”52.According to Paragraph1,which of the following statements is TRUE of Mark Twain?A.He left behind lots of money.B.His works were written for children.C.His works are full of adventures.D.He is famous for his great works.53.What can we learn about Mark Twain's autobiography from the passage?A.It has been published against Twain's will.B.It shows Twain's respect for politicians.C.It will be published in full.D.It has been recently finished.54.What does the underlined word"trilogy"in Paragraph4 mean?A.A work in three volumes.B An imaginative work.C.A collection of stories.D.Memoirs of famous people.55.What is the purpose of publishing Twain's autobiography?A.To supplement other biographies.B.To help readers to understand Mark Twain.C.To introduce Mark Twain's works.D.To expose new discoveries about Mark Twain.V.Daily Conversation(15points) Directions:Pick out appropriate expressions from the eight choices below and complete the following dialogue byblackening the corresponding letter on the AnswerSheet.A.When shall we set offB.What is the timeC.have a wonderful timeD.start packingE.be great funF.What could I getG.What should I takeH.where toMary:How do you like the idea of having a picnic this Saturday?

Each passage is followed by four questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, Cand D.Choose the best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneDebate is a valuable way to practise communicating. It can also bring long-lasting rewards,especially for people working with Western businesses. The main activity of debate is presenting one' s opinion and suppmting it with evidence,such as statistics or facts. It is a way of persuasive communication. Charles Lebeau helped create the "Discover Debate" method. He says debate is important to understanding how people communicate in Western business. Successful debaters learn how to give their opinkm,reasans and support. "What we are trying to do is to develop a kind of thinking or approach to discussion and how to interact (交流) with someone else' s opinion, rather than brush their opinion aside. "Debate skills are also important in selling a product, he says. In that situation, the judges are the customem. "So on Monday, for example, one company may come in and present their case to the customer and they" ll make as strong a ease as they can. On Tuesday, the next day, another company will come in and present their ease to the customer. Usually the party that can present the strongest case wins”Debate also strengthens critical thinking. In other words, it helps students learn to ask questionsand try to understand someone' s reasons and evidence.lift-. Lebeau points out that successful debaters learn to listen carefully to what other people are saying. Then, they look for the weak points in someone else' s opinion orargument. He says debate teaches a systematic way of questioning.Successful debaters also learn to think from someone else' s point of view. Mr.Lebeau says debate can help broaden the mind. "There' s an expression in English : don' t criticize another person before you have walked in their shoes. I think the wonderful thing about debate is, it puts us in another person' s shoes."36. According to Paragraph 1 ,what is the purpose of debate?A. T o bring long-lasting material rewards.B. To present evidence such as statistics and facts.C. T o respond to questions in a systematic way.D. T o persuade people to accept your opinions.37. Why is debate important.9A. It helps people understand others better.B. It allows people to present their opinions.C. It develops one' s thinking and communicative competence.D. It gives one the opportunity to brush others' opinion aside.38. What does the underlined word "case" in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. Container.B. Evidence.C. Problem.D. Product.39. What can debaters benefit from "walking in another person' s shoes" .9A. Becoming more broad-minded.B. Developing critical thinking.C. Finding others' weak points.D. Trying out others' methods.Passage TwoWe all love a hero, and rescue dogs are some of the biggest heroes of all. You will often find them going above and beyond duty to save someone, risking--and at times losing--their lives in the process.Rescue dogs are generally found in the Sporting and Hunting Groups, or from the traditional Herding Group. These types include the Bloodhound, Labrador Retriever, Newfoundland, German Shepherd, Golden Retriever, and Belgian Malinois--all of which are chosen for search-and-rescue duty because of their amazing physical strength, loyalty, and their tendency for mental stability.These types also have a keen sense of hearing and smell--to better locate lost individuals—and are often able to access hard-to-reach areas. As highly trained animals, they serve in many different fields, including specialist search, snow slide rescue, dead body location, and tracking.To overcome obstacles and succeed when performing the demanding duties of a search-and-rescue worker, a dog must display certain qualities. In addition to intelligence and strength, the dog must be swift, confident, easily trainable, adaptable, and have a high level of stamina (耐力) and endurance.A strong sense of group cooperation and an ability to engage in friendly play during "down" time is also required of search-and-rescue dogs.A rescue dog goes through many, many hours of intensive training to be fit for duty. Training is not for the faint-hearted. Certification training can take from two to three years, working three to four hours a day, three to six days a week, oftenin group,team-oriented sessions.Each search-and-rescue field requires different types of training. Rescue training, for instance, includes "air scenting"--where dogs are trained to smell the air for the victim' s scent (气味) and then follow the scent to the person. This ability is crucial to finding victims trapped under collapsed buildings and snow slide.40. Rescue dogs are chosen probably because__A. they are loyalB. they are braveC. they have amazing appearancesD. they have good eyesight41. What does "faint-hearted" in Paragraph 5 mean??A. Courageous.B. Cowardly.C. Energetic.D. Slow.42. Which ability is most important for dogs to rescue people trapped in snow?A. Sharp hearing.B. Swift movement.C. Extraordinary smelling.D. A strong memory.43. What is the passage mainly about?A. Selection process of rescue dogs.B. Qualities and training of rescue dogs.C. Risks rescue dogs are faced with.D. Types of tasks rescue dogs can perform.Passage ThreeEating an apple a day doesn' t keep the doctor away, but it does reduce the amount of trips you make to the drug store per year. That ' s according to a newstudy that investigates whether there' s any truth in the old saying.A team of researchers led by Dr Matthew Davis, of the University of Michigan School of Nursing,asked 8,399 participants to answer survey questions about diet and health. A total of 753 were apple eaters, consuming at least 149g of raw apple per day. The remaining 7,646 were classed as non-apple eaters. When both groups answered questions on trips to the doctor and trips to the drug store per year,the apple eaters were found to be 27% less likely to visit the druggist for drugs.Trips to the doctor were not significantly affected by apple consumption, though. "Evidence does not support that an apple a day keeps the doctor away. However, the small number of US adults who eat an apple a day does appear to use fewer prescription medications," the study concludes.Apple eaters were also found to be less likely to smoke and be more likely to have a higher educational attainment than non-apple eaters. While apples do not compete with oranges, they docontain some immune (免疫的) system-increasing vitamin C, which may be why apple-eaters visit the druggist less. With over 8mg of vitamin C per medium-sized fruit, an apple can provide roughly 14% your daily recommended intake.Previous studies have also linked apple consumption to a lower risk of Type 2 diabetes (二型糖尿病) ,improved lung function and a lower risk of colon (结肠) cancer.44. How many non-apple eaters answered survey questions in the research?A. 149.B. 7,646.C. 753.D. 8,399.45. What is the conclusion of the study?A. Apple consumption has greatly reduced US adults' trips to the doctor.B. An apple a day does keep the doctor away.C. Apples are far more nutritious than oranges.D. A small number of US adult apple eaters tend to take less medicine.46. What can we learn from the passage?A. Apples are better than oranges.B. Apples do have some vitamin C to increase the immune system.C. Apples can help cure certain diseases.D. Apples can provide people with sufficient daily intake of energy.47. What can be described as the writing style of this passage?A. Objective.B. Creative.C.subjectiveD.persuasivePassage FourSometimes I scratch my head when I read about the government' s efforts to improve schools:new standards and tests to be applied, strict teacher evaluations, and threats of school closures and job losses. They frighten the school employees,not to mention the students. Instead of making people unable to solve problems or try new ideas--which is what fear does to us--research on school reform strongly suggests that policy-makers should encourage school leaders to take a more humane approach. In their study on the reform efforts of twelve Chicago public schools, Bryk and Schneider found that enabling positive social relationships between the adults was the key to successful school improvement and that trust was at the heart of those relationships.Trust in schools comes down to one thing:psychological safety or safety to speak one's mind,to discuss with openness and honesty what is and isn' t working,to make collective decisions.Yet this kind of safety doesn' t come easily to schools. According to Bryk and Schneider, the adults in school rely on each other to do their jobs correctly and with integrity (正直). The challeage is that our expectations are very diverse based on our unique backgrounds.At one school where I taught, each teacher had different expectations about how much effort teachers should put into their work--a big difference between the teachers who left af~the last bell and those who worked into the evening. And when expectations are uncoasci or unspoken, it becomes impossible for others to live up to them.We also make assumptions about the intentions behind a person' s behavior. As we all Imam,assumptions are often wrong. For example, parents and teachers my think the principal taml particular decision based on his career advancementrather than hat" s best for the studeata. don't feel psychologically safe to question our assumptions and e~aecmtiatm, trust itiea am the window and our relationships suffer.48. According to Paragraph 1,why does the author scratch his head?A. Because he doesn' t know what to do once schools are closed.B. Because he is not sure about the practicability of those new tests.C. Because he is concerned that many teachers will lose their jobs.D. Because he is not in favor of the government' s reform efforts.49. According to Bryk and Schneider, what was most important for successful school improvemt?A. New standards and tests in schools.B. Positive social relationships.C. Strict teacher and student evaluations.D. Assistance of the government.50. What is meant by trust in school?A. Freedom to express one' s views,B. Extra effort teachers put into their work.C.

Genes probably play a small role, but these folks also have strong social ties ,tightly-knit families and lots of opportunities to exercise.As we were examining the dietary secrets of the Blue Zones, as described in author Dan Buettner" s latest book, The Blue Zones Solution, we were struck by how essential tea drinking is in these regions. In fact, Buettner' s Blue Zones Beverage Rule--a kind of guideline summarized from his 15 or so years of studying these places--is:" Drink coffee for breakfast, tea in the afternoon, wine at 5 p. tm"Science has plenty to say about the healthful virtues of green tea. Researchers are most enthusi- astic almt the components in green tea, as well as foods like cocoa. Why might they help so many Okina~vans in Japan break 1007 Some components in green tea can lower the risk of stroke,heart disease attd several cancers. One review study also found that drinking green tea can slightly improve metabolism (新陈代谢).If you find yourself on the island of Ikaria, the Greek Blue Zone in the middleof the Aegean, you won't be offered any tea made with tea leaves. Instead, Ikarians typically make their daily cup of tea with just one fresh herb that they have picked themselves that day--either rosemary, wild sage,oregano,nmrjotmn,mint or dandelion,all plants that may have anti-inflammatory (消炎的) properties,which may help lower blood pressure. This could explain Ikaria' s very low dementia (痴呆) rate,since high blood pressure is a risk factor for the disease.52. What does the underlined word "centenarians" in Paragraph 1 refer to?A.

Frankl concluded that the difference between those prisoners who had lived and those who had died came down to one thing :Meaning, an insight he came to early in life.In 1991, the Library of Congress listed Man5s Search for Meaning as one of the 10 most influential booksin the United States. It has sold millions of copies worldwide. Now, over twenty years later, the book s ideas—its emphasis on meaning, the value of suffering, and responsibility to something greater than the self—seem to be at odds with our culture, which is more interested in the pursuit of individual happiness than in the search for meaning. But happiness cannot be pursued. It follows. One must have a reason to be happy ,” Frankl wrote.According to Gallup, the happiness levels of Americans are at a four-year high. Gallup also reports that nearly 60% of all Americans today feel happy, without a lot of stress or worry. On the other hand, according to the Center for Disease Control, about 4 out of 10 Americans have not discovered a satisfying life purpose. 40% either do not think their lives have a clear sense of purpose or are neutral about whether their lives have purpose. Nearly a quarter of Americans do not have a strong sense of what makes their lives meaningful.Research has shown that having purpose and meaning in life increases overall well-being and life satisfaction, improves mental and physical health, and decreases the chances of depression. On top of that, the single-minded pursuit of happiness is leaving people less happy, according to recent research.20. According to Paragraph 1, we know that Viktor Frankl_____________ .A. wrote his early life experience as a soldierB. lost his hope of seeking the meaning of lifeC. spent nine days in Nazi concentration campsD. survived with the spiritual support of life meaning21. The book’s ideas don't agree with American culture because Americans are more interested in searchingfor____.A. happinessB. meaningC. sufferingD. stress22. The percentage of Americans who don’t have a satisfying life purpose is______________ .A. 25%B. 60%C. 40%D. 10%23. Which of the following is the idea the author intends to convey?A. Mental health is the most important factor in life.B. Pursuit of happiness is the most important thing in life.C. Physical health can be improved if you are happy.D. Realizing the meaning of life is important to happiness.Questions 24 to 27 are based on the following passage.If you’ve ever lost your wallet (钱包), then you know that it’s a very terrible experience. Most people keep a lot in their wallets. That’s where they keep their drivers license, their credit cards, and all kinds of other important things. Of course,that’s also where most of us keep our cash.We all need cash in our lives. However, something called digital currency is slowly replacing cash. A currency is a kind of money. Usually, we use currency when we talk about a country’s money. For example, the UK is the pound, and the USA is the dollar. If something is digital, it only exists on a computer. So “digital currency” meansmoney that only exists on computers.Lots of people have digital currency accounts. They use a credit card to change their real money into digital money, and then the money goes into the digital currency account. A lot of people wonder, “Why in the world should I change my real money into digital money? ” This is a fair question, but there’s a good answer. If you want to buy something online, then you usually have to use digital currency. For example,if you’re in China and you want to buy something in Canada, then you’ll have to pay with digital currency.Many people still don’t trust digital currency. Some people think that if they can’t hold their money in their hand, then it doesn’t seem real. These people don’t feel comfortable when they see numbers on a computer screen. The computer tells them that their money is safe, but these people don’t feel safe. Another problem is security. There are hackers all over the world. A hacker is a person who steals computer information. If a hacker gets the password of your digital currency account, he or she can steal your money.You have to decide whether or not you trust this new invention. Just remember one thing:If you want to buy something online, then you probably won’t have a choice. You’ll have to use digital money.24. The word “fair”(Para. 3) is closest in meaning to__________ .A. beautifulB. equalC. pleasantD. reasonable25. Which of the following is probably a hacker according to the passage?A. A person who uses a computer to steal things.B. A person who composes computer programs.C. A person who uses a computer to buy things.D. A person who owns a lot of digital currency.' 26. How do those who don’t trust digital currency think about money?A. The money on a computer screen is safe.B. The money in their hand is real.C. Real money is worth more than digital money.D. Real money and digital money are the same.27. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. Hacker problems in the world.B. Currencies used in particular countries.C. A new kind of money.D. Safety of digital currency.Questions 28 to 31 are based on the following passage.Zoos are hugely popular attractions for adults and children alike. But are they actually a good thing?Critics of zoos would argue that animals often suffer physically and mentally by being enclosed (封闭). Even the best artificial environments can^ come close to matching the space and freedom that animals have in their natural environments. This enclosure causes many zoo animals to become stressed or mentally ill. Capturing animals in the wild also causes much suffering by splitting up families. Some zoos make animals behave unnaturally. For example, in some parks dolphins (海豚)are forced to perform tricks, who may die decades earlier than their wild relatives. And some even try to kill themselves.On the other hand, by bringing people and animals together, zoos have the potential to educate the public about conservation issues and inspire people to protect animals and their natural environments. Some zoos provide a safe environment for animals which have been mistreated by people, or pets which have been abandoned. Zoos also carry out important research into subjects like animal behavior and how to treat illnesses. One of the most important modern functions of zoos is supporting international breeding(繁殖) programmes, particularly for endangered species(种群). In the wild,some of the rarest species have difficulty in finding mates and breeding. A good zoo will enable these species to live and breed in secure environments.So, are zoos good for animals or not? Perhaps it all depends on how well individual zoos are managed, and thebenefits of zoos can surely outweigh their harmful effects. However, it is understandable that many people believe imprisoning animals for any reason is simply wrong.28. The expression “artificial environments” (Para. 2)is used in contrast to_______________.A. natural environmentsB. some zoosC. breeding programmesD. modern functions29. Why are dolphins mentioned in Paragraph 2?A. They are ocean animals.B. They are good at performing.C. They are made to behave unnaturally in some parks.D. They are supported by international breeding programmes.30. According to the passage, international breeding programmes are particularly important to________.A. animals in zoosB. split-up familiesC. dolphins in parksD. endangered species31. What is the author’s attitude towards zoos?A. NegativeB. PositiveC. CriticalD. UnderstandableQuestions 32 to 35 are based on the following passage.How many times, when finding yourself in a difficult situation, have you heard something like, “You just need to go somewhere, change your environment, and meet new people.” Upon hearing this, we think such advice can be annoying:going through hard times, you rather expect help, sympathy, or at least something more practical, rather than “You know,you should travel”. However, the surprising truth is that this is probably one of the most useful and practical pieces of advice you can get.Of course, you cannot abandon everything and set off to go on a world trip. All of us have duties, responsibilities, debts, connections. However, the advice to travel does not necessarily imply something like departing to Nepal and living among monks(僧侣) for years. In fact, small but regular journeys are available almost to everyone, and the positive effects they can have on your mental condition and your ability to cope with difficulties are significant.When you are stressed,your thoughts obviously cannot be positive and optimistic(乐观的). So, whether you want it or not, you will view your life situation from a rather pessimistic perspective(悲观的视角). However,when you board a plane and fly overseas, you almost immediately start to feel your problems fade. “Out of sight, out of mind,’’ as the saying goes. Of course, I am not saying the easiest way to feel better is to escape from problems; I rather mean that taking a break and allowing yourself to breathe in some fresh air can give you a new perspective. Having a good rest is a necessary condition of any recovery, and your mind definitely needs rest from time to time.Speaking of new perspectives, when travelling, you will inevitably meet a lot of new people. Some of them will become friends of yours; some will remain strangers. Psychologists have known that perhaps the most honest and sincere communication often occurs between strangers;this is called "the companion effect”. Use it to your advantage. Whether you need advice, help, or a person who would quietly listen to you as you share your hardships, there is no better opportunity to get all this from strangers while travelling. Travelling can not solve your problems but will help you recover from your mental wounds, get rid of the excessive stress, and give you the skills to deal with your hardships as you return home.32. While in a difficult situation, people think the suggestion “ You just need to go somewhere”______. .A. annoyingB. surprisingC. practicalD. useful33. What does the advice to travel really mean in this passage?A. Finding a temple and living with the monks.B. Giving up your duties and departing to Nepal.C. Starting a small journey and getting yourself refreshed.D. Forgetting everything and starting a trip around the world.34. What does the word “ it ” (Para. 4) refer to?A. A trip.B. The communication.C. A new perspective.D. The companion effect.35. What is the probable title for this passage?A. Sincere Communication Is a Way Out of ProblemsB. Travelling Offers New Perspectives in Life SituationC. Going Through Hard Times Needs Help and SympathyD. Travelling Is the Best Way to Escape from ProblemsPart Ⅲ ClozeDirections: There is a passage in this part with 10 blanks in it.

Houses, highways, dams, industrial buildings, and ever-spreading farms now dominate 21 formerly occupied by forests, deserts, and wetlands. 22 the beginning of European settlement in America, 23 , over 65,000,000 acres of wetlands have been drained. One million acres alone vanished 24 1985 and 1995.Habitat destruction can be 25 or it can be subtle, occurring overa 26 period of time without being noticed. 27 such as sewage from cities and chemical runoff fromfarms, can change the 28 and quantity of water instreams and rivers. To 29 living in a delicately balanced habitat, this disturbance can be as 30 as the clear-cutting of a rainforest.31 remaining habitats are carved into smaller and smaller pockets or islands, remaining species are forced to exist in these 32 areas, which causes further habitat 33 .

For the second time in five months, a 23-year-old California woman has been arrested after she crashed her car while driving under the influence (DUI) at the exact same spot north of Lake Tahoe.And to top it off, Truckee Police say that in both cases, her blood alcohol content was more than three times the legal limit.The police say Melissa Dennison of Truckee crashed at about noon on Sunday on Glenshire Drive just south of the Glenshire Bridge. They say she was extremely drunk and had trouble standing or walking. Her blood alcohol level initially was measured at .346. The legal limit is .08.Sergeant J. Litchie said Dennison also had been charged with a DUI in January when she crashed at the same spot and registered a blood alcohol level of .380. ff found guilty of the second offense, she faces up to 10 years in prison and fines in excess of $2,000.A telephone message the Associated Press left at a listing for Dennison in Truckee on Tuesday was not immediately returned.36、 Who is the author of the passage?______A.

Punished.Passage TwoThere were many different cultures in the ancient world, but the two that had the most influence on European and American civilizations were the Greek and the Roman. Often these two cultures are lumped together in our minds, as if they were really exactly alike. But that is not the case. In many ways the Greeks and the Romans could not have been more different.The Greeks were truly democratic, often without a single leader but instead governed by a group of men chosen by the people. The Romans were semi-democratic. They had a governing Senate, but the political power was mostly or completely in the hands of a single emperor.Both cultures were great builders. But the construction interests of the two cultures were also different. The Greeks tended to be more artistic. Their buildings were well constructed and they were especially interested in temples, columns, and decorative forms. The Romans, on the other hand, were more engineers than artists. They concentrated their efforts on urban planning,well-functioning water pipes, and the best roads.Only in cooking and eating habits are the two cultures really similar. Both peoples ate very well indeed: lots of fish, fresh vegetables and fruits, healthy meals, holding at the same time long discussions and tasting excellent wines.In fact, it would probably be fair to say that they both loved life in their warm, sea-oriented climates, and they both lived a full life.40、 What is the first paragraph about?______A. The Greek and the Roman were similar.B. People misunderstood European civilization.C. Greek civilization was quite different from Roman civilization.D.

Some even thought that owing money to a store or a credit company was something to be ashamed of. Good citizens, they believed, always bought what they wanted with real money and they paid the full price immediately.Today, however, all that has changed. Credit, as some observers have noted, has become a way of life in the United States. More and more Americans now are depending on those small pieces of plastic, credit cards, to pay for large purchases such as televisions, record players or furniture. Many people today would consider it unusual not to use a credit card to pay for a costly restaurant dinner, a hotel room or an airline trip. And there are some situations in which Americans must have credit cards. If they want the temporary use of a car, for example, they first must give the car rental company the number of their credit card. That number is considered a guarantee that they will return the car and pay for using it.Credit cards offer two major services to Americans. First of all, they are easier and safer to carry than large amounts of money. Second, they permit people to borrow, to have the immediate pleasure of owning something, even if they do not have enough money to pay for it at the time. With credit cards people pay for goods or services at the end of each month instead of when they buy them. And when the time does come to pay, most credit cards offer people a choice. They can pay all of what they owe for the month or they can just pay usually between 5 and 10 percent of what they owe.44、 What do Americans feel about using credit cards nowadays according to the passage?______A. They consider it valuable.B. They regard it as a shame.C. They think it dangerous.D. They find it quite convenient.45、 Why does the car rental company ask for the credit card number?______A. To prevent the overuse of the car.B. To make sure that the car won't be damaged.C. To make sure the user return the car and pay for using it.D. To ensure that the car is safely and timely returned.46、 What advantage can credit card holders have?______A. They can choose not to pay for their purchases.B. They can easily borrow money at a lower interest.C. They can own something before they actually pay for it.D. They can pay only a small amount of what they owe.47、 What is the best title for the passage?______A. Credit--a Way of Life in AmericaB. Credit Services in AmericaC. Convenience of Living in AmericaD. History of Credit Cards in AmericaPassage FourAt the 1893 Columbian Exposition, a World Fair held in Chicago, chocolate-making machinery made in Germany was displayed. It caught the eye of M. S. Hershey, who saw the potential for chocolate. He installed chocolate machinery in his factory in Lancaster, and produced his first chocolate bars in 1894.Other Americans began mixing in other materials to make up new candy bars throughout the end of the 1890's and the early 1900's. But it was World War I that really brought attention to the candy bar.The U. S. Army Quartermaster Corps requested various American chocolate manufacturers to provide 20 to 40 pound blocks of chocolate to be shipped to quartermaster bases. The blocks were cut into smaller pieces and distributed to American soldiers in Europe. Eventually the task of making smaller pieces was turned back to the manufacturers. By the end of the war when the soldiers arrived home, the American candy bar business was assured. Why? Because the returning soldiers had grown fond of chocolate candy and wanted more of the same. As a result, from that time on and through the 1920's, candy bar manufacturers became established throughout the United States, and as many as 40,000 different candy bars appeared on the scene.The original candy bar industry had its start on the eastern coast in such cities as Philadelphia, Boston, and New York. The industry soon spread to the Midwest because shipping and raw materials such as sugar, corn syrup, and milk were easily available. Chicago became the seat of the candy bar industry and is even today an important base.48、 Why did M. S. Hershey start the production of chocolate bars?______A. He was deeply impressed by the Columbian Exposition.B. He realized that it was possible for chocolate to become popular.C. There was nothing to produce in his factory in Lancaster.D. He was interested in the chocolate machinery displayed at the fair.49、 Which event brought the booming of American candy bar business?______A. The adding of new materials.B. The demand in the army during WWI.C. The purchase of new machines.D. The appearance of smaller candy bars.50、 What does the underlined word "seat" in the last paragraph most probably mean?______A. Focus.B. Position.C. Chair.D. Center.51、 What is this passage mainly about?______A. A World Fair held in Chicago in 1893.B. The popularity of the American candy bar industry.C. The candy bar industry during World War I.D. The spread of the candy bar business to the Midwest.Passage FiveMark Twain is one of America's much-beloved authors, creating imaginative and humorous classics for children and adults alike, such as The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, The Prince and The Pauper, and Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Twain passed away in 1910, leaving behind a treasure of great literature. But now, 100 years after his death, he'll have a brand-new book on the shelves: a three-volume autobiography.Twain hasn't been keeping busy in his tomb: it was his wish that publishers wait until 100 years after his death to publish his memoirs (自传), which he spent the last decade of his life working on.The autobiography totals more than 5,000 pages, and likely won't be all sunshine and roses. It seems that Twain harbored some bitterness against formergirlfriends and ex-friends. He also writes negatively about politicians of his day, such as Teddy Roosevelt. It's likely that he requested such a long lead time for the memoirs because he didn't want to hurt the feelings of anyone mentioned in this work.Although small sections of the memoirs have been previously published, the autobiography has never been available in full, and should provide great insights into the man behind the classic books. The first volume of the set will be available in November, and the trilogy is being published by the University of California, Berkeley."There are so many biographies of Twain, and many of them have used bits and pieces of the autobiography," editor Robert Hirst told The Independent. "But biographers pick and choose what bits to quote. By publishing Twain's book in full, we hope that people will be able to come to their own complete conclusions about what sort of a man he was."52、 According to Paragraph 1, which of the following statements is TRUE of Mark Twain?______A. He left behind lots of money.B. His works were written for children.C. His works are full of adventures.D. He is famous for his great works.53、 What can we learn about Mark Twain's autobiography from the passage?______A. It has been published against Twain's will.B. It shows Twain's respect for politicians.C. It will be published in full.D. It has been recently finished.54、 What does the underlined word "trilogy" in Paragraph 4 mean?______A. A work in three volumes.B. An imaginative work.C. A collection of stories.D. Memoirs of famous people.55、 What is the purpose of publishing Twain's autobiography?______A. To supplement other biographies.B. To help readers to understand Mark Twain.C. To introduce Mark Twain's works.D. To expose new discoveries about Mark Twain.Ⅴ Daily ConversationDirections: Pick out appropriate expressions from the eight choices below and complete the following dialogue by blackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.A.

2018年11月北京地区成人学位英语真题_共13页
18年11月10日北京地区学位英语考试PartⅠReading Comprehension (30%)Directions: There are three passages In this part Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:Flores Colque celebrated her 118 birthday last month. She is the oldest woman in Bolivia (玻利维th亚). Following the death of a woman in Japan earlier last year, Flores Colque may now be the oldest person in the world. Her national paper says Flores Colque was born on October 26, 1900 in the mountains of Bolivia.During her long life, Flores Colque has seen two world wars. Her home country of Bolivia had a major revolution. And the town where she is from has grown from 3,000 people to 175,000. But right now, Flores Colque seems mostly interested in her dogs and cats. She has not heard of the Guinness Book of World Records, and she does not care whether experts confirm she is the oldest person alive.“She’s always been active, easygoing and fun,” says her grandniece, who lives with her in a simple home with a dirt floor. Government officials have paid for some improvements to the house, adding a brick path and railings (栏杆), so Flores Colque can walk safely. The mayor’s office calls Flores Colque part of the country’s living history.On the day a reporter visited, Flores Colque was playing a small guitar and singing old songs in her native language. “If you would have told me you were coming, I’d have remembered all the songs, “she joked.When she was growing up, Flores Colque herded sheep in the Bolivian highland. (76) Then she moved to a valley, where she sold fruits and vegetables. Those fruits and vegetables became her main food, and she still eats a healthy diet----expert for a piece of cake and a glass of soda sometimes. She never married and does not have children. She cannot hear very well, but she is alert(机敏的). Flores Colque’s age would make her interesting anywhere, but it is especially notable in Bolivia. The United Nations says the country has one of the South America’s highest levels of death.1. Which of the following is TRUE?A.B.C.D. The oldest person in Japan was born in 1901.Flores Colque is the oldest person in Bolivia.The oldest person in Japan knew Flores Colque.Flores Colque has read the Guinness Book of World Records.2.3. According to the passage, Flores Colque lives in ___________ now.A. JapanB. North AmericaD. South AmericaC. EuropeThe word herded in the last paragraph can probably be replaced by ________________.A. made animals move along as a groupB. fed animals as a groupC. kept animals from hurting each otherD. made sure animals did not follow one another4.5. From the passage we learn that Flores Colque once ____________.A.B.C.D.sang to make a livingfought in World War Twosold fruits and vegetablesworked as an animal doctorWhich of the following statements about Flores Colque is NOT TRUE?A.B.C.D.She is easygoing.She keeps pets.She remains sing all her life.She lives alone.Passage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:Playing video games can be a fun way to unwind or spend time with friends. In schools, teachers use games like Minecraft to encourage teamwork and critical thinking.(77)But for some players, gaming has become an unhealthy habit. Late at night, they are glued to a screen. Schoolwork suffers. The video-game world seems a friendlier place than the real one.Mental health experts have taken notice. In June, the World Health Organization (WHO) added gaming disorder to its list of diseases and health conditions. A person may have the disorder if gaming has damaged his or her relationships with family and friends, and if it has affected his or her daily activities.Not all experts agree that excessive gaming should be called a disorder. They say people hooked on video games may be suffering from other mental health problems that should be treated first.Others think WHO made the right call. Psychiatrist(精神科医生) Clifford Sussman treats gaming addiction(上瘾).(78)He says kids often have feeling of anxiety and loneliness. They get angry when a parent asks them to stop playing video games.When makes video games addictive? Playing excites the brain’s reward center. After a while, the brain becomes numb (麻木的) to pleasure. You feel bored without a controller in your hand. So you play even more.One key to healthy gaming is to track how long you play. Sussman recommends taking at least an hour-long break after every hour of play. That gives the brain time to recover.Young gamers who think they might have a problem should seek help from an adult. Sussman suggests you first answer a simple question: “Are you in control, or is the game in control?”6. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. Mental Health ProblemsB. Excessive GamingD. Teamwork TrainingC. Unhealthy Habits7.8. The word unwind in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _____________.B. meet D. relaxClifford Sussman’s attitude to WHO’s recognition of excessive gaming as a disorder is A. match C. retreat_______.A. supportiveB. doubtfulC. neutralD. critical9. Sussman advises game players to _______________.A.quit playing video gamesB.C. play sports instead of video gamesgo to the hospital to get medical treatmentD. rest for at least an hour after every hour of play10. According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?A. Video games are addictive.B. Video games are never used in classroom teaching.C. Excessive gaming may affect a person’s daily activities.D. Some experts don’t think excessive gaming should be called a disorder.Passage 3Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:Jayden Hairtson was very disappointed. More than anything in the world, he wanted to learn how to sing. His school in Yonkers---- just north of New York City ---- didn’t offer the music instruction he needed. So he begged his parents to sign him for after-school lessons.Jayden’s mother wanted to help her son follow his passion. (79) But private lessons were too expensive. Jayden, then 6 years old, knew exactly what to do. He took out his iPad. Then he began searching after-school arts programs. He soon came across the website for Harlem School of the Arts (HSA), in New York City. There, he could take voice and dance lessons. It was a bit far from Yonkers. But he convinced his parents to take him for a visit.That was three years ago. Now Jayden is one of HSA’s most active students. He takes singing, dancing, or theater lessons almost every day after school. (80) Last year, he performed in seven productions.Like Jayden, students in many communities across the United States have limited access (使用的机会或权利) to arts instruction in schools. HSA is one of many nonprofit groups that bridges this gap by offering affordable arts classes. Groups like HSA are funded by donations(捐赠) and state grants. Many also receive money from the federal government’s National Endowment(基金) for the Arts(NEA).The NEA was established in 1965. Its goal is to promote access to the arts for all Americans. Some people, however, believe it’s not the responsibility if the federal government to provide arts funding. President Donald Trump’s 2019 proposal calls on Congress to reduce NEA funding and eventually eliminate the agency. The Trump administration argues that private and other public sources already provide funding for the arts. Congress has yet to make a decision.Supporters of arts education say cutting the NEA is a bad idea. It could leave many children unable to participate in the arts. That’s because 40% of the agency’s grants go to high-poverty neighborhoods.11. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A.B.C.D. Arts Education Is ExpensiveJaden Has Great Musical TalentSome Students Have Limited Access to Arts Instruction Trump Calls on Congress to Reduce Arts Funding12. Jayden got the information about HSA from __________.A. his motherB. his music teacherC. the InternetD. the newspaper13. Jayden Hairston is _____ years old now.C. 8 14. The word eliminate in Paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to ____________.B. removeC. rebuildD. run 15. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?A.6B.7 D. 9A.criticizeA.B.C.D. HSA is a nonprofit group established in 1965. Congress agrees to Trump’s proposal to cut the NEA. Arts instruction directly affects students’ academic success. Jayden takes singing, dancing, and theater lessons at HSA.Part Ⅱ Vocabulary and Structure (30%)Directions: In this part there are 30 incomplete sentences.

Each passage is followed by four questions.For each question there are four suggested answers marked A,B,C and D.Choose the best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneWoman nabbed for a DUI at same crash spotWed May21,2:17AM ETTRUCKEE,Calif.Call it drunken driving deja vu(记忆幻觉).For the second time in five months,a23-year-old California woman has been arrested after she crashed her car while driving under the influence(DUI)at the exact same spot north of Lake Tahoe.And to top it off,Truckee Police say that in both cases, her blood alcohol content was more than three times the legal limit.The police say Melissa Dennison of Truckee crashed at about noon on Sunday on Glenshire Drive just south of the Glenshire Bridge.They say she was extremely drunk and had trouble standing or walking.Her blood alcohol level initially was measured at346.The legal limit.08.Sergeant J.Litchie said Dennison also had been charged with a DUI in January when she crashed at the same spot and registered a blood alcohol level of380.If found guilty of the second offense,she faces up to10years in prison and fines in excess of2.000.A telephone message the Associated Press left at a listing for Dennison in Truckee on Tuesday was not immediately returned.36.Who is the author of the passage?A.A passenger.B.A policeman.C.A judge.D.A journalist.37.Why couldn't the woman stand and walk?A.She had lost too much blood.B.She was scared.C.She drank too much.D.She had a sudden stomachache.38.Why could the woman be imprisoned for10years?A.She was caught DUI twice.B.She had her car crashed.C.She refused to take a blood test.D.She drove without driving license.s39.What does the word"nabbed"in the title mean?A.Arrested.B.Attacked.C.Charged.D.Punished.Passage TwoThere were many different cultures in the ancient world, but the two that had the most influence on European and American civilizations were the Greek and the Roman.Often these two cultures are lumped together in our minds,as if they were really exactly alike.But that is not the case.In many waysthe Greeks and the Romans could not have been more different. The Greeks were truly democratic,often without a single leader but instead governed by a group of men chosen by the people.The Romans were semi-democratic.They had a governing Senate,but the political power was mostly or completely in the hands of a single emperor.Both cultures were great builders.But the construction interests of the two cultures were also different.The Greeks tended to be more artistic.Their buildings were well constructed and they were especially interested in temples, columns,and decorative forms.The Romans,on the other hand, were more engineers than artists.They concentrated their efforts on urban planning,well-functioning water pipes,and the best roads.Only in cooking and eating habits are the two cultures really similar.Both peoples ate very well indeed:lots of fish, fresh vegetables and fruits,healthy meals,holding at the same time long discussions and tasting excellent wines. In fact,it would probably be fair to say that they both loved life in their warm,sea-oriented climates and they both liveda full life.40.What is the first paragraph about?A.The Greek and the Roman were similar.B.People misunderstood European civilization.C.Greek civilization was quite different from Roman civilization.D.European civilization influenced American civilization greatly.41.Which of the following is TRUE?A.The Romans had more political awareness.B.The Romans had less political freedom and democracy.C.The Romans had more freedom to choose their leader.D.The Romans had fewer people elected into the government.42.What were the Greeks famous for?A.The overall planning of a city or a town.B.The artistic decoration of the buildings.C.The practical functions of the buildings.aD.The system of water supply and transportation.43.How are the two cultures alike?A.Both loved the sea.B.Both lived long lives.C.Both loved cookingD.Both enjoyed talking over meals.Passage ThreeAs recently as three decades ago,many Americans believed that using credit was an unwise and dangerous way to pay for what they bought.Some even thought that owing money to a store or a credit company was something to be ashamed of.Good citizens,they believed,always bought what they wanted with real money and they paid the full price immediately.Today,however,all that has changed.Credit,as some observers have noted,has become a way of life in the United States.More and more Americans now are depending on those small pieces of plastic,credit cards,to pay for large purchases such as televisions,record players or furniture.Many people today would consider it unusual not to use a credit card to pay for a costly restaurant dinner,a hotel room or an airline trip.And there are some situations in which Americans must have credit cards.If they want the temporary use of a car,for example,they first must give the car rental company the number of their credit card.That number is considered a guarantee that they will return the car and pay Credit cards offer two major services to Americans.First of all,they are easier and safer to carry than large amounts of money.Second,they permit people to borrow,to have the immediate pleasure of owning something,even if they do not have enough money to pay for it at the time.With credit cards people pay for goods or services at the end of each month instead of when they buy them.And when the time does come to pay,most credit cards offer people a choice.They can pay all of what they owe for the month or they can just pay usually between5and10percent of what they owe.44.What do Americans feel about using credit cards nowadays according to the passage?A.They consider it valuable.B.They regard it as a shame.C.They think it dangerous.D.They find it quite convenient.45.Why does the car rental company ask for the credit card number?A.To prevent the overuse of the car.B.To make sure that the car won't be damaged.C.To make sure the user return the car and pay for using it.D.To ensure that the car is safely and timely returned.46.What advantage can credit card holders have?A.They can choose not to pay for their purchases.B.They can easily borrow money at a lower interest.C.They can own something before they actually pay for it.D.They can pay only a small amount of what they owe.47.What is the best title for the passage?A.Credit-a Way of Life in AmericaB.Credit Services in AmericaC.Convenience of Living in AmericaD.History of Credit Cards in AmericaPassage FourAt the1893Columbian Exposition,a World Fair held in Chicago,chocolate-making machinery made in Germany was displayed.It caught the eye of M.S.Hershey,who saw the potential for chocolate.He installed chocolate machinery in his factory in Lancaster,and produced his first chocolate bars in1894.Other Americans began mixing in other materials to makeup new candy bars throughout the end of the1890's and the early 1900's.But it was World War I that really brought attention to the candy bar.The U.S.Army Quartermaster Corps requested various American chocolate manufacturers to provide20to40pound blocks of chocolate to be shipped to quartermaster bases.The blocks were cut into smaller distributed to American soldiers in Europe.Eventually the task of making smaller pieces was turned back to the manufacturers.By the end of the war when the soldiers arrived home,the American candy bar business was assured.Why?Because the returning soldiers had grown fond of chocolate candy and wanted more of the same.As a result from that time on and through the1920's,candy bar manufacturers became established throughout the United States,and as many as40,000different candy bars appeared on the scene.The original candy bar industry had its start on the eastern coast in such cities as Philadelphia,Boston,and New York.The industry soon spread to the Midwest because shipping and raw materials such as sugar,corn syrup,and milk were easily available.Chicago became the seat of the candy bar industry and is even today an important base.48.Why did M.S.Hershey start the production of chocolate bars?A.He was deeply impressed by the Columbian Exposition.B.He realized that it was possible for chocolate to become popularC.There was nothing to produce in his factory in Lancaster.D.He was interested in the chocolate machinery displayed at the fair49.Which event brought the booming of American candy bar business?A.The adding of new materials.B.The demand in the army during WWI.C.The purchase of new machinesD.The appearance of smaller candy bars.50.What does the underlined word"seat"in the last paragraph most probably mean?A.Focus.B.Position.C.Chair.D.Center51.What is this passage mainly about?A.World Fair held in Chicago in1893.B.The popularity of the American candy bar industry.oC.The candy bar industry during World War.D.The spread of the candy bar business to the Midwest.Passage FiveMark Twain is one of America's much-beloved authors, creating imaginative and humorous classics for children and adults alike,such as The Adventures of Tom Sawyer,The Prince and The Pauper,and Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.Twain passed away in1910,leaving behind a treasure of great literature.But now,100years after his death,he'll have a brand-new book on the shelves:a three-volume autobiography. Twain hasn't been keeping busy in his tomb it was his wish that publishers wait until100years after his death to publish his memoirs)which he spent the last decade of his life working on.The autobiography totals more than5,000pages,and likely won't be all sunshine and roses.It seems that Twain harbored some bitterness against former girlfriends and ex-friends.He also writes negatively about politicians of his day,such as Teddy Roosevelt.It's likely that he requested such a long lead time for the memoirs because he didn't want to hurt the feelings of anyone mentioned in this work.Although small sections of the memoirs have been previously published the autobiography has never been available in full, and should provide great insights into the man behind the classic books.The first volume of the set will be available in November,and the trilogy is being published by the University of California,Berkeley."There are so many biographies of Twain,and many of them have used bits and pieces of the autobiography",editor Robert Hirst told The Independent."But biographers pick and choose what bits to quote.By publishing Twain's book in full we hope that people will be able to come to their own complete conclusions about what sort of a man he was."52.According to Paragraph1,which of the statements is TRUE of Mark Twain?A.He left behind lots of money.B.His works were written for children.C.His works are full of adventures.D.He is famous for his great works.53.What can we learn about Mark Twain's autobiography from the passage?A.It has been published against Twain's will.B.It shows Twain's respect for politicians.C.It will be published in full.D.It has been recently finished.54.What does the underlined word"trilogy"in Paragraph4mean?A.work in three volumes.B.An imaginative work.C.collection of stories.D.Memoirs of famous people.55.What is the purpose of publishing Twain's autobiography?A.To supplement other biographies.B.To help readers to understand Mark Twain.C.To introduce Mark Twain's works.D.To expose new discoveries about Mark TwainV.Daily Conversation(15points)Directions:Pick out appropriate expressions from the eight choices below and complete the following dialogues by blackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.A.When shall we set offB.What is the timeC.have a wonderful timeD.start packingE.be great funF.What could I getG.What should I takeH.where toMary:How do you like the idea of having a picnic this Saturday?

psychiatrist(精神病医生),wrote his bestselling1946book Mans Search for Meaning in nine days about his experiences in Nazi concentration camps.Frankl concluded that the difference between those prisoners who had lived and those who had died came down to one thing:Meaning,an insight he came to early in life.In1991,the Library of Congress listed Man5s Search for Meaning as one of the10most influential booksin the United States.It has sold millions of copies worldwide.Now,over twenty years later,the book s ideas—its emphasis on meaning,the value of suffering,and responsibility to something greater than the self—seem to be at odds with our culture,which is more interested in the pursuit of individual happiness than in the search for meaning. But happiness cannot be pursued.It follows.One must have a reason to be happy,”Frankl wrote.According to Gallup,the happiness levels of Americans are at a four-year high.Gallup also reports that nearly60%of all Americans today feel happy,without a lot of stress or worry.On the other hand,according to the Center for Disease Control,about4out of10Americans have not discovered a satisfying life purpose.40%either do not think their lives have a clear sense of purpose or are neutral about whether their lives have purpose.Nearly a quarter of Americans do not have a strong sense of what makes their lives meaningful.Research has shown that having purpose and meaning in life increases overall well-being and life satisfaction,improves mental and physical health,and decreases the chances of depression.On top of that,the single-minded pursuit of happiness is leaving people less happy,according to recent research.20.According to Paragraph1,we know that Viktor Frankl_____________.A.wrote his early life experience as a soldierB.lost his hope of seeking the meaning of lifeC.spent nine days in Nazi concentration campsD.survived with the spiritual support of life meaning21.The book’s ideas don't agree with American culture because Americans are more interested in searchingfor____.A.happinessB.meaningC.sufferingD.stress22.The percentage of Americans who don’t have a satisfying life purpose is______________.A.25%B.60%C.40%D.10%23.Which of the following is the idea the author intends to convey?A.Mental health is the most important factor in life.B.Pursuit of happiness is the most important thing in life.C.Physical health can be improved if you are happy.D.Realizing the meaning of life is important to happiness.Questions24to27are based on the following passage.If you’ve ever lost your wallet(钱包),then you know that it’s a very terrible experience.Most people keep a lot in their wallets.That’s where they keep their drivers license,their credit cards,and all kinds of other important things.Of course,that’s also where most of us keep our cash.We all need cash in our lives.However,something called digital currency is slowly replacing cash.Acurrency is a kind of ually,we use currency when we talk about a country’s money.For example,the UK is the pound,and the USA is the dollar.If something is digital,it only exists on a computer.So“digital currency”means money that only exists on computers.Lots of people have digital currency accounts.They use a credit card to change their real money into digital money,and then the money goes into the digital currency account.A lot of people wonder,“Why in the world should I change my real money into digital money?”This is a fair question,but there’s a good answer.If you want to buy something online,then you usually have to use digital currency.For example,if you’re in China and you want to buy something in Canada,then you’ll have to pay with digital currency.Many people still don’t trust digital currency.Some people think that if they can’t hold their money in their hand,then it doesn’t seem real.These people don’t feel comfortable when they see numbers on a computer screen. The computer tells them that their money is safe,but these people don’t feel safe.Another problem is security. There are hackers all over the world.A hacker is a person who steals computer information.If a hacker gets the password of your digital currency account,he or she can steal your money.You have to decide whether or not you trust this new invention.Just remember one thing:If you want to buy something online,then you probably won^have a choice.You’ll have to use digital money.24.The word“fair”(Para.3)is closest in meaning to__________.A.beautifulB.equalC.pleasantD.reasonable25.Which of the following is probably a hacker according to the passage?A.A person who uses a computer to steal things.B.A person who composes computer programs.C.A person who uses a computer to buy things.D.A person who owns a lot of digital currency.26.How do those who don5t trust digital currency think about money?A.The money on a computer screen is safe.B.The money in their hand is real.C.Real money is worth more than digital money.D.Real money and digital money are the same.27.What does the passage mainly talk about?A.Hacker problems in the world.B.Currencies used in particular countries.C.A new kind of money.D.Safety of digital currency.Questions28to31are based on the following passage.Zoos are hugely popular attractions for adults and children alike.But are they actually a good thing?Critics of zoos would argue that animals often suffer physically and mentally by being enclosed(封闭). Even the best artificial environments can^come close to matching the space and freedom that animals have in their natural environments.This enclosure causes many zoo animals to become stressed or mentally ill.Capturing animals in the wild also causes much suffering by splitting up families.Some zoos make animals behave unnaturally.For example,in some parks dolphins(海膝)are forced to perform tricks,who may die decades earlier than their wild relatives.And some even try to kill themselves.On the other hand,by bringing people and animals together,zoos have the potential to educate the public about conservation issues and inspire people to protect animals and their natural environments.Some zoos provide a safe environment for animals which have been mistreated by people,or pets which have been abandoned.Zoos also carry out important research into subjects like animal behavior and how to treat illnesses.One of the most important modern functions of zoos is supporting international breeding(繁殖)programmes,particularly for endangered species(种群).In the wild,some of the rarest species have difficulty in finding mates and breeding.Agood zoo will enable these species to live and breed in secure environments.So,are zoos good for animals or not?Perhaps it all depends on how well individual zoos are managed,and the benefits of zoos can surely outweigh their harmful effects.However,it is understandable that many people believe imprisoning animals for any reason is simply wrong.28.The expression“artificial environments”(Para.2)is used in contrast to_______________.A.natural environmentsB.some zoosC.breeding programmesD.modern functions29.Why are dolphins mentioned in Paragraph2?A.They are ocean animals.B.They are good at performing.C.They are made to behave unnaturally in some parks.D.They are supported by international breeding programmes.30.According to the passage,international breeding programmes are particularly important to________.A.animals in zoosB.split-up familiesC.dolphins in parksD.endangered species31.What is the author’s attitude towards zoos?A.NegativeB.PositiveC.CriticalD.UnderstandableQuestions32to35are based on the following passage.How many times,when finding yourself in a difficult situation,have you heard something like,“You just need to go somewhere,change your environment,and meet new people.”Upon hearing this,we think such advice can be annoying:going through hard times,you rather expect help,sympathy,or at least something more practical,rather than“You know,you should travel”.However,the surprising truth is that this is probably one of the most useful and practical pieces of advice you can get.Of course,you cannot abandon everything and set off to go on a world trip.All of us have duties, responsibilities,debts,connections.However,the advice to travel does not necessarily imply something like departing to Nepal and living among monks(僧侣)for years.In fact,small but regular journeys are available almost to everyone,and the positive effects they can have on your mental condition and your ability to cope with difficulties are significant.When you are stressed,your thoughts obviously cannot be positive and optimistic(乐观的).So,whether you want it or not,you will view your life situation from a rather pessimistic perspective(悲观的视角).However,when you board a plane and fly overseas,you almost immediately start to feel your problems fade.“Out of sight, out of mind,’’as the saying goes.Of course,I am not saying the easiest way to feel better is to escape from problems;I rather mean that taking a break and allowing yourself to breathe in some fresh air can give you a new perspective.Having a good rest is a necessary condition of any recovery,and your mind definitely needs rest from time to time.Speaking of new perspectives,when travelling,you will inevitably meet a lot of new people.Some of them will become friends of yours;some will remain strangers.Psychologists have known that perhaps the most honest and sincere communication often occurs between strangers;this is called"the companion effect”.Use it to your advantage.Whether you need advice,help,or a person who would quietly listen to you as you share your hardships, there is no better opportunity to get all this from strangers while travelling.Travelling can not solve your
