The envelope was addressed to a man named Raoul, who, I was relatively certain, did not live with us. The envelope wasn't sealed, so I opened it. The inside of the card was blank. Ed, my husband, explained that the card was both from and to the newspaper deliveryman. His name was apparently Raoul, and Raoul wanted a holiday tip. We were meant to put a check inside the card and then drop the envelope in the mail. When your services are finished at 4 a.m., you can't simply hang around, like a hotel bellboy expecting a tip. You have to be direct.So I wrote a nice holiday greeting to this man who, in my imagination, fires The New York Times from his bike aimed at our front door, causing more noise with mere newsprint than most people manage with sophisticated black market fireworks. Witha start, I realized that perhaps the reason for the 4 a.m. wake-up noise was not ordinary rudeness but carefully executed spite: I had not tipped Raoul in Christmas past. I honestly hadn't realized I was supposed to. This was the first time he'd used the card strategy. So I got out my checkbook. Somewhere along the line, holiday tipping went from an optional thank-you for a year of services to a Mafia-style protection racket（收保护费组织）.Several days later, I was bringing our garbage bins back when I noticed an envelope taped to one of the lids. The outside of the envelope said MICKEY. It had to be another tip request, this time from our garbage collector. Unlike Raoul, Mickey hadn't enclosed his own Christmas card from me. In a way, I appreciated the directness. "I know you don't care how merry my Christmas is, and that's fine," the gesture said. "I want $30, or I'll 'forget' to empty your garbage bin some hot summer day." I put a check in the envelope and taped it back to the bin. The next morning, Ed noticed that the envelope was gone, though the trash hadn't yet been picked up: "Someone stole Mickey's tip!" Ed was quite certain. He made me call the bank and cancel the check. But Ed had been wrong. Two weeks later, Mickey left a letter from the bank on our steps. The letter informed Mickey that the check, which he had tried to cash, had been cancelled.The following Tuesday morning, when Ed saw a truck outside, he ran out with his wallet. "Are you Mickey?" The man looked at him with scorn. "Mickey is the garbage man. I am the recycling." Not only had Ed insulted this man by suggesting that he was a garbage man, but he had obviously neglected to tip him. Ed ran back inside for more funds. Then he noticed that the driver of the truck had been watching the whole incident. He peeled off another twenty and looked around, waving bills in the air. "Anyone else?"Had we consulted the website of the Emily Post Institute, this embarrassing break of etiquette (礼节) could have been avoided. Under "trash/recycling collectors" in the institute's Holiday Tipping Guidelines, it says: "$10 to $30 each." You may or may not wish to know that your hairdresser, mailman and UPS guy all expect a holiday tip.24. The newspaper deliveryman put a blank card inside the envelope because____.A. he wanted the couple to pay for the newspaperB. he forgot to write a few words on itC. he used it to ask for a Christmas tipD. he was afraid of asking for a tip in person25. According to the passage, the author felt ______to give Raoul a holiday tip.A. excitedB. happyC. embarrassedD. forced26. Which of the following is true about Mickey, the garbage collector?A. He wrote a letter to the couple afterwards.B. He failed to collect the money from the bank.C. He wanted the couple to send him a Christmas card.D. He collected both the check and the garbage that day.27. Ed's encounter with the recycling team shows that____.A. Ed was desperate to correct his mistakeB. Ed only wanted to give money to RaoulC. Ed was unwilling to tip the truck driverD. Ed no longer wanted to give them moneyCIntegrityIntegrity is the quality of being honest and strong about what you believe to be right. The concept of integrity has played a key role in moral philosophy throughout history and is promoted in all societies because of its importance to social relations. Individual integrity is vital to society, one that enables people to make use of their capacity for critical reflection, does not force people to take up particular roles and does not encourage individuals to betray each other. Besides, societies can be favorable to the development of individual integrity.Individual integrity can lift up the spirits of the entire society. It can shape the lives of people living in a particular society, the lives of all fellow people and, in its broadest sense, even the destiny(命运) of a nation. By contrast, if t hose living in the society are corrupt, it could have bad effects, jeopardizing the healthy morality of the society.On the other hand, a society can be favorable to the development of individual integrity. Society expects and requires integrity. A society consisting of people of integrity, and people who never compromise on their principles, could have a positive mark on the personal development of its members. Being a part of such a morally lively community could serve as a basis for absorbing traits of good character. This could be of a distinct advantage to any individuals in the societ y.However, some social structures are of the wrong sort for some individuals to pursue(追求) integrity. If that is the case, we have to ask questions about the moral nature of society first before raising questions about individual integrity.Questions about integrity may turn out to be about what kind of society it is, rather than about the relationship between individual interests and characteristics of a society. The pursuit of adequate individual integrity often depends, not so much on understanding who one is and what one believes and is committed to, but rather understanding what one’s society is and imagining what it could be.Under no circumstances can we underestimate the importance of human integrity in a society. People, who are honest, trustworthy, compassionate and caring, are the factors decisive in the growth of individuals as well as the development of a society.28. Individual integrity has been valued in society because ______.A. it helps develop philosophyB. it is the basis of critical thinkingC. it is important to social relationsD. it ensures people’s particular roles29. The underlined word “jeopardizing” in Paragraph 2 probably means ______.A. strengtheningB. assessingC. influencingD. destroying30. The writer believes that ______.A. the nature of society is decided by economic developmentB. the pursuit of individual integrity changes with timeC. individual integrity depends on what one believesD. social structures guide the formation of individual integrity31. Which of the following shows the development of ideas in this passage? （新题型；可以不做）A. B. C. D.CP: Central Point P: Point Sp: Sub-point(次要点) C：ConclusionDIn June 2016, Huffington Post and Mail Online reported that three-year-old Victoria Wilcher, who had suffered facial scarring, had been kicked out of a KFC because she was frightening customers. Later, KFC announced that no evidence had been found to support the story. This phenomenon is largely a product of the increasing pressure in newsrooms that care more about traffic figures.Brooke Binkowski, an editor, says that, during her career, she has seen a shift towards less editorial oversight in newsrooms. “Clickbait is king, so newsrooms will uncritically print something unreal. Not all newsrooms are like this, but a lot of them are.”Asked what the driving factor was, a journalist said, “You’ve an editor breathing down your neck and you have to meet your targets. And there are some young journalists on the market who are inexperienced and who will not do those checks. So much news that is reported online happens online. There is no need to get out and knock on someone’s door. You just sit at your desk and do it.”Anot her journalist says, “There is definitely pressure to churn out (粗制滥造) stories in order to get clicks, because they equal money. At my former employer in particular, the pressure was on due to the limited resources. That made the environment quite horribl e to work in.”In a February 2017 report for Digital Journalism, Craig Silverman wrote, “Today the bar for what is worth giving attention to seems to be much lower. Within minutes or hours, a badly sourced report can be changed into a story that isrepeated by dozens of news websites, resulting in tens of thousands of shares. Once a certain critical mass is reached, repetition has a powerful effect on belief. The rumor(传闻) becomes true for readers simply by virtue of its ubiquity.”And, despite the direction that some newsrooms seem to be heading in, a critical eye is becoming more, not less important, according to the New York Times’ public editor, Margaret Sullivan. “Reporters and editors have to be more careful than ever before. It’s extremely im portant to question and to use every verification(验证) method available before publication.” Yet those working in newsrooms talk of doubtful stories being tolerated because, in the words of some senior editors, “a click is a cli ck, regardless of the advanta ge of a story”. And, “if the story does turn out to be false, it’s simply a chance for another bite at the cherry.”V erification and fact-checking are regularly falling victim to the pressure to bring in the numbers, and if the only result of being caught out is another chance to bring in the clicks, that looks unlikely to change.32. According to Brooke Binkowski, newsrooms produce false news because _____.A. clicks matter a lotB. resources are limitedC. budgets are inadequateD. journalists lack experience33. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 5 probably mean?A. Lies can’t sell without an atom of truth.B. Rumors are like a flame blown by the wind.C. You can hear rumors, but you can’t know them.D. A lie, repeated often enough, will end up as truth.34. What’s Margaret Sullivan’s attitude towards false news online?A. Negative.B. Supportive.C. Skeptical.D. Neutral.35. What is the passage mainly about?A. Consequences of false stories.B. Causes of online false news.C. Incompetence of journalists.D. A craze to get clicks.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Over the years it had grown into two shops, but Allamby wanted something more. At first, he thought that meant growing his business even further. So at 34, Allamby decided to go for his bachelor’s degree (学士学位) in business management. After taking classes part-time over the next five years, Allamby was told he had to take biology (生物学) to get his degree.Biology class reawakened Allamby’s childhood dream. He remembered the feeling of wanting to be a doctor back when he was younger.Born in East Cleveland, Ohio, Allamby and his five sisters and brothers were raised by their stay-at-home mother and a father who sold home goods door to door. “That didn’t pay so well,” Allamby says.Growing up in an African American neighborhood, he faced many difficulties. His school didn’t offer advanced science classes. Even if it had, doing well in school could get him into trouble. “Sometimes you wouldn’t carry your books home because other kids would laugh at you,” Allamby says. So he gave up thoughts of becoming a doctor and chose to fix cars.With his family’s support, Allamby decided to take science classes he’d need to become a health care worker. Becoming a doctor when he would be nearly 50 years old seemed crazy. He would instead become a nurse.But Allamby’s chemistry teacher stopped him after class one day. “Carl,” he said, “you’re like the oldest student here. What’s your end game?”Allamby told him how he’d like to become a doctor but it would be better to have a smaller goal.“Why not a doctor?” the teacher asked. “You have a great intuition (直觉) for the work. You will go a long way.”He was right. Allamby did well in all his courses. So in 2015, Allamby started at Northeast Ohio Medical University. In 2019, at age 47, Carl Allamby became a doctor, and took a job in emergency (急诊) medicine at Cleveland Clinic Akron General.4．Why did Allamby go for a bachelor’s degree at first?A．He had an interest in biology.B．He wanted to be a doctor.C．He wanted to be more successful in business.D．He wanted to realize his childhood dream.5．What was Allamby’s life as a child like?A．poor and hard.B．dangerous but attractive.C．peaceful but lonely.D．simple and interesting.6．What did the chemistry teacher think of Allamby?A．He should have a smaller goal.B．He had a gift for medicine.C．He had wasted too much time.D．He was not serious about the class. 7．What can we learn from Allamby’s story?A．Life is not full of roses.B．Education is the key to success.C．Chance favors the prepared mind.D．You’re never too old to live your dream.From cottages surrounded by impressive gardens to days spent exploring sandy beaches and deep woods filled with wildlife, in My Family and Other Animals, English writer Gerald Durrell provided a vivid account of his family’s time on the Greek island of Corfu in the 1930s.Come for the arresting descriptions of Corfu landscapes and stay for Durrell’s laugh-out-loud tales of his unusual family. This book, Durrell wrote humorously in the introduction, “was intended to be a nostalgic(怀旧的)account of natural history, but in the first few pages, I made the mistake of introducing my family.”Durrell, later known for his zoo keeping and the preservation of wildlife, was just a child during his family’s five-year stay in Corfu. He is 10-year-old Gerry in the book—curious, passionate about animals and a detailed storyteller of his strange family: his imaginative elder brother Larry with his literary ambitions, lovestruck sister Margo, sporty brother Leslie and hisever-calm, loving mother.Durrell’s attention to detail is what makes the book so winning, with every sight, sound and smell of the island brought to life. One minute you’ll be laughing as Larry’s clever literary friends walk down to the daffodil-yellow cottage, the next you’ll be catching your breath as Durrell describes swimming at night in the Ionian Sea: “Lying on my back in the silky water, staring at the sky, only moving my hands and feet slightly, I was looking at the Milky Way stretching like a silk scarf across the sky and wondering how many stars it contained.”My Family and Other Animals is quite difficult to classify, being one part travel, one part autobiography, one part natural history, and one part comedy, with a thread of descriptive language running throughout that sometimes raises it nearly to poetry.As a real delight to read, it’s the perfect literary escapism for any adult or older teenager who is currently walking down a tough road in life.8．Which word best describes Durrell’s life in Corfu?A．Diverse.B．Busy.C．Risky.D．Tough.9．What does the underlined sentence mean in paragraph 2?A．I just introduced my family by mistake.B．I shouldn’t have introduced my family.C．I gave false information about my family.D．I couldn’t help introducing my family. 10．What are paragraph 4 and 5 mainly about?A．Durrell’s rich imagination.B．Some interesting plots of the book.C．The book’s writing feature.D．Some vivid descriptions of the island. 11．What is the purpose of this text?A．To share an experience.B．To introduce a writing style.C．To recommend a book.D．To describe an unusual place.Two years ago Lucy was saved from a rural area in New South Wales, Australia. Today, she is one of the lucky animals living in rows of trees that have been created to protect koalas and other animals by saving their smaller and smaller habitat (栖息地) , or natural environment.The trees, planted by the local protection group Bangalow Koalas, are made up of large systems of plants.

I found myself at a checkout counter behind an elderly woman seemingly in no hurry as she paid for her groceries(食品杂货). A PhD student with not a lot of money, I had hurried into the store to pick up some flowers.We were in Boston, a place not always known for small conversation between strangers. The woman stopped emptying her basket and looked up at me. She smiled. It was a nice smile –warm and comforting—and I returned her gift by smiling back.“Must be a special lady, whoever it is that will be getting those beautiful flowers,” she said.“Yes, she’s special,” I said, and then to my embarrassment, the words kept coming out.“It’s only our second date, but somehow I am just having the feeling she’s ‘the one’. Jokingly, I added, “The only problem is that I can’t figure out why she’d want to date a guy like me.”“Well, I think she’s very lucky to have a boyfriend who brings her such lovely flowers and who is obviously in love with her,” the woman said.” “My husband used to bring me flowers every week –even when times were tough and we didn’t have much money. Those were incredible days; he was very romantic and – of course – I miss him since he’s passed away.”I paid for my flowers as she was gathering up her groceries. There was no doubt in my mind as I walked up to her.I touched her on the shoulder and said, “You were right, you know. These flowers are indeed for a very special lady.” I handed her the flowers and thanked her for such a nice conversation.It took her a moment to realize that I was giving her the flowers I had just purchased. “You have a wonderful evening,” I said. I left her with a big smile and my heart warmed as I saw her smelling the beautiful flowers.I was slightly late for my date that night and telling my girlfriend the above story. A couple of years later, when I finally worked up the courage to ask her to marry me, she told me that this story had helped to seal it for her –that was the night that I won her heart.80.What does the underlined phrase “her gift”(Paragraph 2) refer to?A．Her smile.B．Her words.C．Her flowers.D．Her politeness.81. The writer give his flowers to the elderly lady because she ________.A．started the conversation first B．gave him encouragement.C．allowed him to pay first D．liked flowers very much.82. Which of the following is TRUE According to the passage?A. The writer was originally quite sure about the reason why his girlfriend was fond of him.B. The writer managed to buy some flower =s for his girlfriend on each date.C. People in Boston didn’t always start small talk with someone they didn’t know.D. It took the writer a while to decide whether to give the elderly lady the flowers or not.83．What is the message conveyed in the story?A．Flowers are important for a date.B．Small talk is helpful.C．Elderly people need respecting. D．Love and kindness are rewarding.(B)Remembering names is an important social skill. Here are some ways to master it.Recite and repeat in conversation.When you hear a person’s name，repeat it. Immediately say it to yourself several times without moving your lips. You could also repeat the name in a way that does not sound forced or artificial.Ask the other person to recite and repeat.You can let other people help you remember their names. After you’ve been introduced to someone，ask that person to spell the name mad pronounce it correctly for you. Most people will be pleased by the effort you’re making to learn their names.Admit you don’t know.Admitting that you can’t remember someone’s name can actually make people relaxed. Most of them will feel sympathy if you say. “I’m working to remember names better. Yours is right on the tip of my tongue. What is it again?”Use associations.Link each person yon meet with one thing you find interesting or unusual. For example，you could make a mental note: "Vicki Cheng -- tall, black hair. " To reinforce you’re your associations, write them on a small card as soon as possible.Limit the number of new names you learn at one time.When meeting a group of people, concentrate on remembering just two or three names. Freeyourself from remembering every one. Few of the people in mass introductions expect you to remember their names. Another way is to limit yourself to learning just first names. Last names can come later.Go early.Consider going early to conferences, parties and classes. Sometimes just a few people show up on time. That's fewer names for you to remember. And as more people arrive, you can hear them being introduced to others —an automatic review for you.84. How will most people feel when you try hard to remember their names?A. They will be moved.B. They will be annoyed.C. They will be delighted.D. They will be discouraged.85. If you can't remember someone's name, you may__A. tell him the truthB. tell him a white lieC. ask him for pityD. ask others to help you86. When you meet a group of people, it is better to remember __A. all their namesB. a couple of names firstC. just their last namesD. as many names as possible87. What does the text mainly tell us?A. Tips on an important social skill.B. Importance of attending parties.C. How to make use of associations.D. How to recite and repeat names.(C)“Years ago when I was at the Grand Canyon, I remember someone coming up to the canyon’s edge , taking a shot with their camera and then walking away, like ‘got it – done’, barely even glancing at the magnificent scene sprawling in front of them,” Linda Heckle, a scientist at Fairfield University, US told Live Science.Henkel was surprised by now obsessed people are with taking picture these days---before dinner, during friends’ birthday parties, on museum tours and so on. You know people just like that, don’t you?They keep taking pictures because they think that it helps record the moment, but as Henkel’s latest study has just found out, this obsession may prevent their brains from remembering what actually happened, reported The Guardian.In her study, Henkel, led a group of college students around a museum and asked them to simply observe 15 objects and to photograph 15 others. The next day the students’ memory of the tour was tested, and the results showed that they were less accurate in recognizing the objects and they remember fewer details about them if they photographed them.“When people rely on technology to remember for them---counting on the camera to record the event and thus not needing to attend to it fully themselves, it can have a negative impact on how well they remember their experiences,” Henkel explained.But there is also an exception: if students zoomed in to photograph part of an object, their memory actually improved, and those who focused the lens on a specific area could even recall parts that weren’t in the frame.So basically, this study is saying that constantly taking pictures can harm your memory. But shouldn’t reviewing pictures we have taken help wake up our memories? This is true, but only if we spend enough time doing it.“In order to remember, we have to access and interact with the photos, rather than just amassing them.’’ Henkle told The Telegraph. However, previous research has shown that most people never take the time to look over their digital pictures simply because there are too many of them and they aren’t usually very organized on their computer.88.The author mentioned Henkel’s trip to the Grand Canyon at the beginning to ________．A. describe the great view of the Grand CanyonB. complain about some tourist’s bad habitsC. point out people’s obsession with taking picturesD. give suggestions on how to enjoy one’s tour89. Which of the following statements about Henkel’s study is TURE according to the article?A. Taking pictures in museum tour helps students organize objects better.B. Reviewing pictures always helps people bring back memories.C. Pictures that focus on the details of objects are likely to improve people’s memoriesD. People should spend more time studying real objects than taking pictures of them.90. The word “amassing” in the last paragraph probably means_________________.A. displayingB. collectingC. ignoringD. remembering91. What is the article mainly about?A. Some skills to learn for taking pictures.B. People’s obsession with taking pictures.C. How pictures remind us of our past.D. How to deal with pictures after taking trips.V. TranslationDirections: Translate the following sentences into English, using the wording given in the brackets.92. 知识的传播会使世界成为一个更加美好的地方。

I saw it on a flight I took six years ago, and only now can I speak of it without tears filling my eyes at the memory.Our flight left the Orlando Airport one Friday morning. But immediately upon the take-off, it was clear that something was wrong. The aircraft was bumping (颠簸) up and down. All the experienced travellers, including me, looked around with knowing (会意的) smiles. If you fly much, you see these things and learn to act calmly about them. However, we did not remain calm for long.Minutes after we were in the air, our plane began falling quickly. The pilot soon made a serious announcement. “We are having some difficulties,” he said. “Our indicators show that the control system has failed. We will be returning to the Orlando Airport. The flight attendants will prepare you for a bumpy landing. Also, if you look out of the windows, you will see that we are dumping (倾倒) fuel from the airplane. We want to have as little on board as possible in the event of a rough touchdown.” In other words, we were about to crash. Many travellers looked visibly frightened now. No one faces death without fear, I thought.Then a couple of rows to my left, I heard a still ca lm voice, a woman’svoice, speaking in an absolutely normal conversational tone. I had to find the source of this voice. All around, people cried. Many screamed. Finally, I saw her. In this state of complete confusion and lack of order, a mother was talking to her child. The woman, in her mid-30s, was staring full into the face of her daughter, who looked to be four years old. The child listened closely, sensing the importance of her mother’s words. The mother’s eye held the child so fixed that she seemed u ntouched by the sounds of grief and fear around her.Finally, I leaned over and could hear this soft sure voice with the tone of comfort. Over and over again, the mother said, “I love you so much. Remember, no matter what happens, I love you always.” Fortu nately, our landing gear (起落架) held at last and our touchdown was not a tragedy.However, the voice I heard that day never faded. That mom showed me what a real hero looks like.4．What does the second paragraph mainly tell usA．The crew was getting ready for a take-off.B．The travellers were taken good care of on the plane.C．The aircraft was not in normal condition when flying.D．The passengers were enjoying themselves on the aircraft.5．Why were they dumping fuel from the airplaneA．To prepare for a landing. B．To have the airplane not bump.C．To make the airplane to fly faster. D．To make sure the control system worked well.6．How was the woman after hearing the pilot’s wordsA．She looked quite angry. B．She didn’t appear so worried.C．She felt extremely nervous. D．She sounded rather hopeless. 7．What do we know about the child on the plane after the announcement was madeA．She paid attention to her mother’s words.B．She screamed and cried with other passengers.C．She comforted her mother after hearing the emergency.D．She didn’t seem to be interested in what her mother said.Earlier this year the phone companies stopped supporting the software for my old 3G phone, so I was forced to buy a new Smart Phone. I didn’t use it much at first, only to get a call from my daughter or to play a game or two. Soon, however, I found it far easier to surf the web or check out Facebook on the smart phone than my computer. Even with my limited time I quickly found myself spending more and more of it on this phone. It happened almost without me noticing it.Yesterday I was on it scrolling through the sea of stories, posts, news, and videos. Then suddenly a long and white nose pushed its way between me and my phone. It was my pet dog. I started to push it away but that only got me a lick(舔) from my cheek to my glasses. Laughing Iput the phone down, took my glasses off and petted it. Soon we were hugging, and playing around down the hallways of my home. And I noticed something too. There was a feeling in my heart: a wonderful mixtu re of love, laughter, and joy. It was a feeling that I hadn’t gotten once during all that time I had spent on my phone.Strange how it took a dog to remind me of what is important for our souls. Technology is here to stay. But we shouldn’t let it control u s or our time. I vowed then to spend less time on my addictive phone and more time doing the important things in life like talking to my friends, writing letters, and even playing with my dogs. It is these that fill my heart With love.8．What happened to the author in paragraph 1A．His old phone was brokenB．His entire life was changedC．He became addicted to the phoneD．He didn’t use his computer any longer.9．Which is the right order of what happened in paragraph 2a. I was surfing the phone aimlessly.b. A warm feeling rose from my heart.c. The dog approached me and licked me.d. I petted the dog with my phone aside.A．acdb B．acbdC．cbda D．bacd10．What does the underlined word “vowed” mean in paragraph 3 A．Agreed. B．Expected.C．Refused. D．Promised.11．What does the author want to convey in the textA．Following the advanced technology.B．Making time for the important things.C．Building a close relationship with pets.D．Enjoying the convenience of technology.English is full of colorful phrases to describe shyness. Someone shy might be called shrinking violet or a wallflower, while for especially nervous types we have the curious expression: they wouldn’t say boo to a goose. None of these are traditionally seen as positive descriptions, even if you like geese. In a culture of go-getting, high achievers, shy people don’t come first. Or that’s what the self-help industry would have you believe. Bookshops are filled with vital tomes(巨著) that promise to help beat social fears and find success in life, love and business. That is why one book, Shrinking Violets: A Field Guide to Shyness, bucks the trend. It became a sudden success across English-language media recently for its new take-on shyness.Author Joe Moran says that despite struggling with shyness and longing for loneliness all his life, being shy can also be "a gift". Freed from theconstant urge to participate and compete in social situations, people are liberated to look at the world in new ways, and gain fresh insights. Indeed, many of the world’s great t hinkers and artists are introverts(内向的人). Scientists Charles Darwin and Albert Einstein preferred their own company; actress Keira Knightley often finds herself tongue-tied at parties; and Harry Potter author JK Rowling claims she used to be too nervous to even borrow a pen.Moran told BBC Future: "I think shyness probably does turn you into an amateur anthropologist(人类学家), really-you are more likely to be an observer."So, while extroverts make all the noise, they don’t necessarily have the best ideas.If you’re shy, you’ve probably known this for a long time. You just don’t shout about it.12．When someone is being called a wallflower, he is being ________. A．praised for his grace B．admired for his characterC．laughed at for his shyness D．told off for his nervousness 13．The underlined phrase “bucks the trend” in Paragraph 2 probably means “________”.A．going against the trend and succeedsB．changing the public idea completelyC．becoming unpopular and unacceptedD．becoming the major concern of people14．The author mentioned many famous shy people in order to________.A．point out the harm shyness bringsB．disconnect shyness and successC．shows the reasons for shynessD．prove shyness contributes to science15．What is the author’s attitude towards shynessA．Opposed. B．Indifferent.C．Supportive. D．Critical.二、七选五I’m a slow reader. 16 This is fine for me because my target is to focus on quality. In the past, I used to spend the time necessary to get the most out of the book without getting lost in details. But now I attach more importance to quality than quantity. How can we do that How can we choose a good book to read Here are three simple steps on how to choose a good book to read.17 I believe that having the right attitude is the starting point. What is the right attitude to have When it comes to self-education, the right attitude is curiosity. Because unlike formal education where external(外部的) factors push you to learn, with self-education you need to motivate yourself. Curiosity is like fuel in your self-education journey.Find potential books. To find a good book to read, you should collect potential books to read. In my case, I usually put them on my Amazon wish list. How do you find these potential books 18 I also follow some websites that often recommend good books. I can then decide whether or not the book is a good one for me. 19Choose the best book for your current situation. With a list of potential books to read, how do you choose which one to read 20 Which book would make the most difference in my current situation This question might seem simple, but if you use it, it can make a big difference in your personal growth.A．Be curious.B．Be cautious.C．In my case, I ask myself a question.D．Well, my first source is bestseller lists.E．I can know more about the author of a book.F．In general, I can only finish two books in a month.G．If it is, then I’ll add it to my list of potential books to read.三、完形填空It happened in Knoxville (a city in Tennessee in the US).

AI was sure that I was to be killed. I became terribly nervous. I fumbled(摸索) in my pockets to see if there were any cigarettes, which had escaped their search. I found one and because of my shaking hands, I could barely get it to my lips. But I had no matches, they had taken those. I looked through the bars at the guard. He did not make eye contact with me. I called out to him “Have you got a light?” He looked at me, shrugged and came over to light my cigarette. As he came close and lit the match, his eyes unconsciously locked with mine. At that moment, I smiled.I don’t know why I did that. Perhaps it was nervousness, perhaps it was because, when you get very close, one to another, it is very hard not to smile. In any case, I smiled. In that instant, it was as though a spark jumped across the gap between our two hearts, our two human souls. I know he didn’t want to, but my smile leaped through the bars and caused a smile on his lips, too. He l it my cigarette but stayed near, looking at me directly in the eyes and continuing to smile.I kept smiling at him, now thinking of him as a person and not just a guard. "Do you have kids?" he asked. “Yes, here, here.” I took out my wallet and nervous ly fumbled for the pictures of my family. He, too, took out the pictures of his family and began to talk about his plans and hopes for them. My eyes filled with tears. I said that I feared that I’d never see my family again, never have the chance to see them grow up. Tears came to his eyes, too. Suddenly, without another word,he unlocked my cell and silently led me out. Out of the prison, quietly and by back routes, out of the town. There, at the edge of town, he released me. And without another word, he turned back toward the town.21. What had happened to the man before ?A. He had been badly treated.B. He had killed someone.C. He had been searched.D. He had been forbidden to get in touch with anyone.22. Why did the man want to smoke cigarettes?A. Because he was sure he was to be killed.B. Because he wanted to ease his nervousness.C. Because he wanted to talk to the guard.D. Because he was used to smoking cigarettes.23. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. The man was a heavy smoker.B. The man smiled to please the guard.C. The guard set the man free with permission.D. The man hadn’t thought the guard would set him free.24. What do you think finally saved the man’s life?A. The smile.B. The cigarette.C. The tears.D. The wallet.BSome people think if you are happy, you are blind to reality. But when we research it, happiness actually raises every single business and educational outcome for the brain. How did we miss this? Why do we have these social misunderstandings about happiness? Because we assumed you were average. When we study people, scientists are often interested in what the average is.Many people think happiness is genetic. That’s only half the story, because the average person does not fight their genes. When we stop studying the average and begin researching positive outliers —people who are above average for a positive aspect like optimism or intelligence —a wildly different picture appears. Our daily decisions and habits have a huge impact upon both our levels of happiness and success.Scientifically, happiness is a choice. It is a choice about where your single processor brain will devote its limited resources as you process the world. If you scan for the negative first, yourbrain really has no resources left over to see the things you are grateful for or the meaning embedded(嵌入) in your work. But if you scan the world for the positive, you start to acquire an amazing advantage.I wrote the cover story for the Harvard Business Review magazine on “Happiness Leads to Profits.” Based on my article called “Positive Intelligence” and my research in The Happiness Advantage, I summarized our researched conclusion: the single greatest advantage in the modern economy is a happy and busy workforce.A decade of research in the business world proves that happiness raises nearly every business and educational outcome: increasing sales by 37%, productivity by 31%, and accuracy on tasks by 19%, as well as a number of health and quality-of-life improvements.25. The underlined word “this” in the first paragraph refers to .A. the fact that people are happyB. the connection between happiness and educational outcomeC. the fact that people often misunderstand happinessD. the fact that most people are average26.

The research team looked at the Zaire Ebola virus in an animal system to understand how it gains strength. This virus is responsible for the current outbreak in West Africa. They found that initially the animal systems were not affected by the virus, but succeeding transmission(传送) into other animals caused the virus to “hot up” and become more severe.The team analyzed the viruses at different stages and were able to identify several changes in its genetic / - _w_3material that were associated with increased disease.Professor Julian Hiscox, who led the study from the University’s Institute of Infection and Global Health, explains: “The work tells us that the evolutionary goal of Ebola virus is to become more fatal / - _w_5.”“We were able to show through genetic analysis which parts of the virus are involved in this process. The information we have gathered will now allow us to monitor for such changes in an outbreak as well as develop future treatment strategies.”Professor Roger Hewson, leading the study from Public Health England, Porton Down, said: “Ebola virus is such a destructive i nfection to the people affected by the disease and the economy of West Africa.”“Our understanding of Ebola virus biology is way behind that of other viruses and our cooperation shows how we can bring together our specialists’ skills to close this knowledge gap.”Professor Miles Carroll, a co-author of the work, said: “This study has allowed the team to be at the forefront of developing methodologies to analyze patient samples recently taken by the European Mobile Laboratory from West Africa to understand disease evolution during the current outbreak.”29.

In a bus you may look at a stranger, but not too long. And if he is sensing that he is being stared at, he may feel uncomfortable.The same in daily life. If you are looked at for more than necessary, you will look at yourself up and down, to see if there is anything wrong with you. If nothing goes wrong, you will feel angry toward others’ stare at you that way. Eyes do speak, right?Looking too long at someone may seem to be rude and aggressive. But things are different when it comes to stare at the opposite sex. If a man glances at a woman for more than 10 seconds and refuses to move his gaze, his intentions are obvious, that is, he wishes to attract her attention, to make her understand that he is admiring her.However, the normal eye contact for two people engaged in conversation is that the speaker will only look at the listener from time to time, in order to make sure that the listener does pay attention to what the former is speaking, to tell him that he is attentive.If a speaker looks at you continuously when speaking, as if he tries to dominate you, you will feel uncomfortable. A poor liar usually exposes himself by looking too long at the victim, since he believes in the false idea that to look straight in the eye is a sign of honest communication. Quitethe contrary.In fact, continuous eye contact is confined to lovers only, who will enjoy looking at each other tenderly for a long time, to show affection that words cannot express.Evidently, eye contact should be done according to the relationship between two people and the specific situation.33. Which of the following behaviors is proper according to the passage?A. To the opposite sex, stare at him or her.B. To a stranger, avoid looking at him or her.C.
