Could your weekend lie﹣in（睡懒觉） kill you? " asked the Daily mail． It is said in a study that sleeping more at weekends can increase the risk of heart disease． Since most of us change our sleep schedule depending on whether it’s a work or non﹣work day, it’s an interesting question． Is the lie﹣in really so dangerous? Researchers say that changing sleep patterns causes social jet lag． Is that even a thing?Changing our sleeping hours causes the effect of crossing a time zone﹣it makes us sleepy during the day． People who changed their sleep patterns were also more likely to gain weight during the study and more suited to going to bed and waking late because of the change of their biological clock． They were more at risk of these changes than earlier sleepers and risers． The study also shows an association between switching sleep patterns and changes in some blood results．It does not show that anyone’s developing heart disease was because they had lie﹣ins．Jim Horne, one of the professors of the Sleep Research Centre at Loughborough University, says the concept of social jet lag is likely to feed our anxiety about sleep, so we should really stop worrying so much and have a limited weekend lie﹣in． Worry is bad for sleep and we naturally compensate for not getting enough rest in the week by lying﹣in at weekends, so we shouldn’t stop ________． However, we should limit the time．Studies show that if you accumulate a five﹣hour sleep debt during the week, then you only need one and a half hours of extra sleep on your days off to make up for it． It wouldbe a shame to be scared of a lie﹣in． Studies of sleep and risk factors for heart disease can struggle to tell between poor sleep causing stress and stress disrupting sleep． Work stress can cause both a rise in blood pressure and changes in sleep patterns． Sleep is the test for the state of one’s health,and the most important thing that happens when you don’t get enough of it is that you feel sleepy．（1）What’s the probable effect of changing our sleep patterns？________A.Becoming unhealthy．B.Losing weight quickly．C.Easily adapting to time zones．D.Becoming early sleepers and risers．（2）What is Jim Horne’s attitude towards the weekend lie﹣in？________A.Negative．B.Doubtful．C.Unconcerned．D.Supportive．（3）What does the underlined phrase “doing it” in Paragraph 3 refer to？________A.Lying﹣in．B.Worrying．C.Sleeping early．pensating for the limit．（4）What can we infer from the text？________A.The sleep debt must be paid off completely．B.The weekend lie﹣in is a bad habit for all people．C.The more hours one sleeps， the healthier he will be．D.Poor sleep may result from and cause stress in turn．【答案】ADAD【考点】阅读理解综合【解析】本文属于说明文阅读，作者通过这篇文章主要向我们描述了一项研究表明，周末多睡会增加患心脏病的风险．【解答】（1）A．细节理解题．根据文章People who changed their sleep patterns were also more likely to gain weight during the study and more suited to going to bed and waking late because of the change of their biological clock可知改变我们的睡眠模式可能变得不健康；故选A．（2）D．态度判断题．根据文章Jim Horne， one of the professors of the Sleep Research Centre at Loughborough University， says the concept of social jet lag is likely to feed our anxiety about sleep， so we should really stop worrying so much and have a limited weekend lie﹣in可知吉姆•霍恩对周末卧床的态度是支持的；故选D．（3）A．词义猜测题．根据文章Worry is bad for sleep and we naturally compensate for not getting enough rest in the week by lying﹣in at weekends，so we shouldn’t stop doingit可知担心对睡眠有害，我们自然会通过周末躺在床上来弥补一周没有得到足够的休息，所以我们不应该停止这样做；意为多睡；故选A．（4）D．推理判断题．根据文章Studies of sleep and risk factors for heart disease can struggle to tell between poor sleep causing stress and stress disrupting sleep可知从课文中可以推断出睡眠不足可能是由压力引起的；故选D．第二节（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．选项中有两项为多余选项．Over the course of my life， I come to realize we will have unpleasant feelings from time to time． Our loved ones will pass away， our friends and families will disappoint us， and the challenges of life will make us angry and frustrated．（1）_______ I have experienced a lot and find out some effective ways to help express our feelings．（2）_______ When expressing strong feelings， many people intend to start talking over the other person instead of listening to what he or she is saying． If you do so，you won’t have the possibility of clearing up any misunderstandings．Exercise to help deal with depression． Despite the commonly held belief that people needto let off their anger to help reduce its damaging effects， research indicates that this method is not helpful and can actually increase anger． However， exercise is very effective at relieving symptoms of sadness and anxiety．（3）_______Allow yourself to cry． Crying is viewed as a sign of weakness in some cultures．（4）_______Many people end up feeling better after crying， especially if they are in a secure environment around loved ones．Try

We have been volunteering at the shelter ever since. I was recently feeling the push to serve more, so I scheduled a Saturday visit.My daughter had social invitations, but she also felt the push to visit the shelter, so she planned to go there with her friends and me, later in the day instead. Wepiled up old blankets, sheets and pillows to take along and donate. On arriving and touring, we met 500 dogs and 200 cats being cared for at this shelter. After the tour we served meals to the puppies in the sick or injured puppy room. We held and comforted those who would clearly survive their injuries and several who were so sick that the volunteer vet on hand said they had a 50% chance of being alive next week. Then we fed two sick and abandoned young kittens.While feeding the animals I watched the workers who were cleaning out some of the dog houses with healthy dogs who would be returned to the streets. I was touched most by how often they stopped in their duty to pet and play with these dogs. They did it with such love. While some workers and volunteers were paid, others were paid nothing to support these animals.My daughter and I stayed for 4-5 hours, beyond the time she had scheduled to meet friends for lunch. She chose to cancel her social date and spend more time with these animals despite the tough conditions. Tired and dirty, we felt blessed to share some time with people who care deeply for relieving the suffering of so many vulnerable beings. And then we went back. May all the sick and injured animals be relieved of their suffering.24.Why did the author plan a Saturday visit to the shelter?A.To apply to be a real social volunteer.B.To build up homes for homeless dogs.C.To do more work for homeless animals.D.To attend her daughter s gatherings with friends.25.According to the second paragraph, .A.not all of the hurt animals in the shelter could keep aliveB.the author s daughter finally accepted social invitationsC.the author merely fed sick dogs with his daughter and friendsD.most hurt animals in the shelter have a 50% chance of being alive26.What moved the author most while volunteering?A.The animals led a happy life in the shelter.B.The workers showed deep love to the animals.C.The workers were paid nothing to do their work.D.Many healthy animals would come back to the streets.27.What is the last paragraph mainly about?A.The schedule of the author s daughter.B.The author s wish to return to care animals.C.The reasons for the author s daughter missing her social date.D.The feelings of the father and daughter as volunteers in the shelter.CA survey of university backgrounds of heads of major global companies found that Harvard in the United States was the most likely place to have studied in.The Times Higher Education magazine ranked the universities attended by chief executive officers (CEO) of Fortune Global 500 companies. There are four US universities in the top 10, with three from France, two from Japan and one from South Korea. The highest ranked UK university is Oxford in 21st place.This league table, described as the Alma Mater Index, shows which universities around the world taught the bosses of some of the world s biggest companies. One in 20 had a degree from a single institution, Harvard. This included Margaret C. Whitman of Hewlett-Packard, Jeffrey R. Immelt of General Electric and Vittorio Colao of Vodafone.But the top 10 for producing business leaders does not contain all the usual names that appear at the top of university rankings. Oxford and Cambridge are absent, but the University of Pennsylvania in the US and Keio University in Japan are included, along with three French universities, headed by the Ecole Polytechnique.Across the top 100, universities from the US dominate, followed by universities in China, Japan, France and Germany. There are more CEOs who went to university in Asia than in Europe. In terms of national comparisons, UK universities produced the sixth highest number of global chief executives, with Oxford in 21st place and Cambridge in 45th place.But even though Harvard might have taught the biggest number of bosses from the top 500 companies, it was not attended by any of the heads of the biggest 10 companies, who were from a more diverse range of universities.Royal Dutch Shell is headed by a graduate of Zurich University of Applied Sciences; Walmart is headed by a student of Georgia Tech and Exxon Mobil has a chief executive from the University of Texas, Austin. Three of the leaders of these biggest companies went to university in China and the head of Volkswagen went to university in Stuttgart.28.How many Asian universities are among the world s top 10 universities for global CEOs?A.One.B.Two.C.Three.D.Four.29.What does the underlined word “dominate” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?A.Decrease.B.Accelerate.C.Take the lead.D.Make great progress.30.What can we learn about the UK universities?A.Cambridge University ranks highest among them.B.None of them are among the top 10 list of the survey.C.They performed better than French universities on the list.D.They produced the second most number of global CEOs.31.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A.The Rankings of the Famous Universities in the WorldB.Which Is Described as the Best University in the World?C.Students Are Currently Entering Various Top-class UniversitiesD.Which University Tops the League Table of Where Bosses Studied?D“Could your weekend lie-in (睡懒觉) kill you?” asked the Daily Mail. It is said in a study that sleeping more at weekends can increase the risk of heart disease. Since most of us change our sleep schedule depending on whether it s a work or non-work day, it s an interesting question. Is the lie-in really so dangerous? Researchers say that changing sleep patterns causes social jet lag. Is that even a thing?Changing our sleeping hours causes the effect of crossing a time zone—it makes us sleepy during the day. People who changed their sleep patterns were also more likely to gain weight during the study and more suited to going to bed and waking late because of the change of their biological clock. They were more at risk of these changes than earlier sleepers and risers. The study also shows an association between switching sleep patterns and changes in some blood results. It does not show that anyone s developing heart disease was because they had lie-ins.Jim Horne, one of the professors of the Sleep Research Centre at Loughborough University, says the concept of social jet lag is likely to feed our anxiety about sleep, so we should really stop worrying so much and have a limited weekend lie-in. Worry is bad for sleep and we naturally compensate for not getting enough rest in the week by lying-in at weekends, so we shouldn t stop doing it. However, we should limit the time.Studies show that if you accumulate a five-hour sleep debt during the week, then you only need one and a half hours of extra sleep on your days off to make up for it. It would be a shame to be scared of a lie-in. Studies of sleep and risk factors for heart disease can struggle to tell between poor sleep causing stress and stress disrupting sleep. Work stress can cause both a rise in blood pressure and changes in sleep patterns. Sleep is the test for the state of one s health, and the most important thing that happens when you don t get enough of it is that you feel sleepy.32.What s the probable effect of changing our sleep patterns?A.Becoming unhealthy.B.Losing weight quickly.C.Easily adapting to time zones.D.Becoming early sleepers and risers.33.What is Jim Horne s attitude towards the weekend lie-in?A.Negative.B.Doubtful.C.Unconcerned.D.Supportive.34.What does the underlined phrase “doing it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A.Lying-in.B.Worrying.C.Sleeping early.pensating for the limit.35.What can we infer from the text?A.The sleep debt must be paid off completely.B.The weekend lie-in is a bad habit for all people.C.The more hours one sleeps, the healthier he will be.D.Poor sleep may result from and cause stress in turn.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。

Without saying a word, as if they both understood that this was a secret they didn’t want to share with anyone, they slipped into the alley, where no one could see them look inside \pile of hundred- dollar bills. Amy, the morerealistic of the two, did a quick estimate, thumbing through the wad of cash. \in disbelief. They’d found the wallet in a flowerbed by the sidewalk, when Charlie dropped his cell phone while he was trying to talk and eat a slice of pepperoni pizza at the same time. Amy stuffed the wallet into her backpack and pulled Charlie along by his elbow toward her house. As they rushed toward Viceroy Avenue, they talked excitedly about what they could do with the money-buy gifts for parents and friends, get new clothes, travel to the rainforest in Costa Rica, and adopt a whale. It looked like all of their dreams would come true. For the last block, however, they didn’t talk. Each began to suspect that the other one was silently adding to the list of things they could buy. They finally reached Amy s house, but instead of going inside, they walked 2 around the house to the backporch. They opened the wallet and counted the money into piles of ten. The total wasS2400- more money than either of them had ever seen. Then they both started talking at once. \sinking from the high of being rich for fifteen minutes to resigning themselves to what they must do next. For in the wallet’s clear plastic compartment, there was a driver’s license. They knew what they had to do. Although they would lose their newly-found treasure, in a way, they felt relieved. 24. Where did Amy and Charlie find the wallet? A. In an alley B In a backpack C. Among some flowers D On the sidewalk 25. In paragraph 2, why was Amy’s voice shaking? A. She was afraid that they would be seen by others B. She was disappointed there wasn’t a million dollars C. She was fearful that Charlie would tell someone else D.

What did the children decide to do at the end of the story? A. To keep the money a secret from others B. To return the wallet to its rightful owner C. To put the wallet back where they found it. D. To buy many different things with the money. C An article published in the prestigious scientific journal Nature sheds new light on an important, but up-to-now little appreciated, aspect of human evolution. In this article Professors Dennis Bramble and Daniel Lieberman suggest that being able to run was the necessary condition for the development of our species which enabled us to come down from the trees. This challenges traditional scientific thinking, which claims that the distinctive, uprightbody form of modern humans has come about as a result of the ability to walk, and that running is simply a by-product of walking. 3 Furthermore, humans have usually been regarded as poor runners compared to such animals as dogs, horses or deer. However, this is only true if we consider running at high speed, especially over short distances. But when it comes to long-distance running, humans do astonishingly well. They can keep a steady pace for many kilometres, and their overall speed is at least the same as that of horses or dogs Bramble and Lieberman examined 26 physical features found in humans. One of the most interesting of these is the nuchal ligament(项韧带). When we run, this ligament prevents our head from moving back and forth or from side to side. Therefore, we are able to run with steady heads, held high. The nuchal ligament isnot found in any other surviving primates, such as apes and monkeys. Then there are our Achilles tendons (跟腱) at the backs of our legs, which connect our calf muscles to our heel bones —and which have nothing to do with walking. When we run, these tendons behave like springs, helping to push us forward. Furthermore, we have low, wide shoulders virtually disconnected from our skulls(颅骨), a physical development which allows us to run more efficiently. But what evolutionary advantage is gained from being good long-distance runners? Perhaps it permitted early humans to obtain food more effectively. \features and facts appear to be telling us is that running evolved in order for our direct ancestors to compete with other meat-eating animals for access to the protein needed to grow the big brains that we enjoy today,\forward the theory that early humans chased animalsfor great distances in order to exhaust them before killing them. \controversial, \many researchers to reevaluate and further investigate how humans learned to run and walk and why we are built the way we are. \28. In paragraph 1, what do the two professors suggest about humans’ ability to run? A. It is an evolutionary by-product of walking. B. I t helps to form people’s ability to climb trees. C. It has played an important role in human evolution. D. It has not been adequately studied by scientists before. 29. What is true about the physical characteristics examined by the professors? A. Achilles tendons assist people to walk long distances. B. The human skull helps people to run more efficiently. 4 C. people’s shoulders allow them to look from side to side. D. The nuchal ligament enables people to hold their head steady.30. According to paragraph 3, scientistsbelieve that early humans_________. A. always came across dangerous situations in life B. ran after animals for long distances when hunting C often failed to find food because they couldn’t run fast D developed their hunting skills by running long distances 31. Professor Lieberman thinks the new theory will _________. A completely explain how running developed B revolutionize the theory of human evolution C. encourage more in-depth studies on the topic D. be widely supported within the scientific community D Scientists have solved the mystery of why the overwhelming majority of mammoth fossils(化石)are male. Much like wild elephants today, young male Ice Age mammoths probably travelled around alone and more often got themselves into risky situations where they were swept into rivers, or fell through ice or into mud, lakes or sinkholesthat preserved their bones for thousands of years, scientists say. Females, on the other hand, travelled in groups led by an older matriarch who knew the landscape and directed her group away from danger. \the benefit of living in a herd led by an experienced female, male mammoths had a much higher risk of dying in natural traps such as mud holes, rock cracks and lakes, \co-author Love Dalen of the Swedish Museum of Natural History in a report published on Thursday in the journal Current Biology. The study used genetic data to determine the sex of 98 woolly mammoth fossils in Siberia Researchers found that 69% of the samples were male, a heavily unbalanced sex ratio, assuming that the sexes were fairly even at birth \fossil record,\said first author Patricia Pecnerova, also of the Swedish Museum of 5Natural History. Therefore, researchers believe that something about the way they lived influenced the way they died. Most bones, tusks, and teeth from mammoths and other Ice Age animals haven’t survived,\\preserved because they have been buried, and thus protected from weathering.\These giant, tusked plant eaters disappeared about 4,000 years ago. While there is no scientific agreement about the causes of their disappearance from the planet, most believe that climate change, excessive hunting by humans and the spread of other animals into mammoth feeding grounds were influential factors.32. The underlined word \A. figure headB. female leader C experienced animal D. mature mammoth 33. Why do the majority of mammoth fossils come from male animals? A. Scientists find it easier to study malefossilised bones. B. There were more male mammoths in comparison to females C Male mammoths were better able to adapt to the changing circumstances. D. Male mammoths more frequently died in places where fossils could form. 34. Which of the following is suggested as a reason for mammoths dying out? A. The increasing competition for food. B. The cooling of the earth’s temperature. C. The disappearance of male mammoths. D The risky behaviour of younger mammoths. 35. What is the text type of the passage? A. A newspaper article. 第二节根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

At your next meeting, wait for a pause in conversation and try to measure how long it lasts．Among English speakers, chances are that it will be a second or two at most． But while this pattern may be universal, our awareness of silence differs dramatically across cultures． What one culture considers a confusing or awkward pause may be seen by others as a valuable moment of reflection and a sign of respect for what the last speaker hassaid． Research in Dutch （荷兰语） and also in English found that when a silence in conversation stretches to four seconds, people start to feel uneasy． In contrast, a separate study of business meetings found that Japanese people are happy with silences of 8.2 seconds﹣nearly twice as long as in Americans’ meetings．In Japan, it is rec ognised that the best communication is when you don’t speak at all．It’s already a failure to understand each other by speaking because you’re repairing that failureby using words．In the US, it may originate from the history of colonial （殖民地的） America as a crossroads of many different races． When you have a complex of difference, it’s hard to establish common understanding unless you talk and there’s understandably a kind of anxiety unless people are verbally engaged to establish a common life． This applies also to some extent to London．In contrast, when there’s more ________,perhaps it’s easier for some kinds of silence to appear． For example, among your closest friends and family it’s easier to sit in silence than with people you’re less w ell acquainted with．（1）Which of the following people might have the longest silence in conversation？________A.The Dutch．B.Americans．C.The English．D.The Japanese．（2）What might the Japanese agree with in conversation？________A.Speaking more gives the upper hand．B.Speak out what you have in your mind．C.Great minds think alike without words．D.The shorter talking silence， the better．（3）What can we learn from the text？________A.A four﹣second

the silence appears．（4）What does the underlined word “homogeneity” in the last paragr aph mean？________A.Similarity．B.Contradiction．C.Diversity．D.Misunderstanding．【答案】DCDA【考点】阅读理解综合【解析】本文主要讲述了谈话中的沉默文化．尽管交谈中出现停顿是普遍存在的，但我们对沉默的认识在不同的文化中有着巨大的差异．不同的文化中沉默时间不同，对于沉默的看法也不同．相比而言，亲密的朋友和家人之间更容易出现沉默．【解答】（1）D．细节题．根据文章内容，Among English speakers， chances are that it will be a second or two at most…Research in Dutch （荷兰语） and also in English found that when a silence in conversation stretches to four seconds， people start to feel uneasy． In contrast，a separate study of business meetings found that Japanese people are happy with silences of8.2seconds﹣nearly twice as long as in Americans’ meetings．由此可推测，日本人在与他人的谈话中可能会有最长的沉默，结合选项，故选D．（2）C．推理判断题．根据第四段首句“In Japan， it is recognized that the best communication is whe n you don’t speak at all．”可知，在日本，一般认为最好的交流是一句话不说的时候．因此推断日本人认为“伟大的心灵，无言而思”．故选C．（3）D．推理判断题．根据文章最后一句“For example， among your closest friends and family it’s easier to sit in silence than with people you’re less well acquainted with．”可知，亲密的人之间更容易出现沉默，因此我们和家人越亲密，沉默越容易出现．故选D．（4） A．词句猜测题．根据下文的举例可知，越亲密的人，越容易出现沉默，因此推断画线句In contrast，when there’s more homogeneity，perhaps it’s easier for somekinds of silence to appear．句意是：相比而言，当有更多相似时，也许沉默更容易出现．故画线词意思与similarlity意义相近．故选A．第二节（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．选项中有两项为多余选项．Travelling is a great way to interact with a culture which might be completely different

The photo-worthy moments we share serve as an important function in cultivating the photographic artistic eye.Instagram has got people to start noticing the art in their everyday life. It has also allowed us to share the artful moments in our lives with others. Clearly, making people focus on beautiful moments in their lives and how to share them is a positive takeaway from Instagram.Not only has Instagram changed the way we look at things around us, but it has also changed the way people view professional photography. Instagram has turned everyone with a smartphone into an artist. Opening up art to the general community is a groundbreaking(创新的) aspect of this application. Making artistic attempts accessible for everyone to discover their artistic talents and explore creatively is something that has made people find the beauty in the everyday life. However, this accessibility has also created questioning around art and respect deserved by professional photography.The art in a professional photograph versus(与…对抗) an Instagram can sometimes be hard to notice at a quick glance. But phot ographs taken by true professional photographers hold something that Instagram’s cannot match in terms of photographic quality, or advanced compositional knowledge.This is not to say Instagram is a lesser art. Aesthetic qualities of art are a personal matter and how good an artwork is depends on personal preferences. Good is a very arbitrary term in the art world. For example, I may find one photo more pleasing than another, but not everyone has to agree with me.The point I am trying to make is that professional photography should not be lost, but instead approached with a new, enhanced level of respect and admiration — despite how accessible, common and fun Instagram now makes the taking and sharing of photos.25. What does the writer mainly tell us in the passage?A. The increasing popularity of Instagram.B. The advantages and disadvantages of Instagram.C. The changes that Instagram brings us.D. The differences between Instagram and professional photography.26. What can the smartphone application Instagram do?A. Help people to discover true self.B. Inspire people to find the beauty in life.C. Encourage people to be more competitive.D. Let people gain others’ respect and admiration.27. Why do people begin to doubt the art of professional photography?A. Because common people can take perfect photos easily.B. Because they show no respect for professional photographers.C. Because the artistic level of professional photography is reducing.D. Because Instagram has changed the way people look at the world.28. What does the writer think of professional photography?A. Useful.B. Valueless.C. Helpless.D. Absurd.CTeaching can be one of the most satisfying jobs in the United States. Yet many American teachers say they feel overworked, undervalued, and underpaid. This has led to what education experts call “teacher burnout,” a feeling of mental, physical, and emotional exhaustion.In all, nearly 50 percent of American teachers leave the profession before their fifth year. That information comes from a 2010 study by the advisory service McKinsey & Company.And, a 2016 study from Penn State University found that 46 percent of teachers report high daily stress. Teachers say the stress affects their sleep, health, teaching performance, and quality of life. The study identified mindfulness training as one promising solution for improving teacher well-being.The Greater Good Science Center at the University of California — Berkeley studies the science and practice of well-being. It defines mindfulness as keeping “a moment-by-moment awareness of our thoughts, feelings, bodily sensations, and surrounding environment.”A person can reach this emotional state by spending time in quiet thought, without judging these thoughts and feelings. A number of people also meditate — they take slow, deep breaths to become calm.Many organizations around the country have designed mindfulness training programs for schools. Some of them are designed for teachers. The programs seek to reduce teacher stress while helping them be more effective in the classroom.Maureen Naughton is a seventh grade science teacher at a public middle school in the Bronx section of New York City. As a highly active teacher, Naughton would sometimes forget to take time to herself. But after the programs she shared the methods such as mindful walking and mindful eating — ways of enjoying those activities fully instead of being distracted by worries or responsibilities.Naughton also said the deep breathing methods help her to maintain calm when faced with the stress of trying to “meet everyone’s needs.”29. What does “teacher burnout” in Paragraph 1 mean?A. A condition of happiness and sorrow.B. A situation of physical exercise.C. A feeling of mental, physical, and emotional tiredness.D. A feeling of mental, physical, and emotional relaxation.30. What do mindfulness training programs designed for teachers try to do?A. They try to make teachers take slow, deep breaths to become calm.B. They try to reduce teacher stress to help teachers be more effective when teaching.C. They try to make teachers enjoy those activities fully.D. They try to make teachers spend time in quiet thought, without judging these thoughts and feelings.31. What can we infer from Naughton’s words?A. The deep breathing methods are a good way to let her keep calm when faced with stress.B. She dislikes the deep breathing methods.C. Don’t be distracted by worries or possibilities.D. Enjoy all kinds of activities carefully.DNew mercury(汞) threat to oceans from climate changeRising temperatures could boost mercury levels in fish by up to seven times the current rates, said Swedish researchers in an article published in Science Journal. They’ve discovered warming increases levels of the t oxin (毒素) in sea creatures. In experiments, they found that extra rainfall drives up the amount of organic material flowing into the seas. This alters the food chain, adding another layer of complex organisms which boosts the concentrations of mercury up the line.Mercury is one of the world’s most toxic metals, and according to the World Health Organization, is one of the top ten threats to public health. The substance at high levels has been linked to damage to the nervous system, paralysis and mental impairment in children.The most common form of exposure to mercury is by eating fish containing methylmercury(甲基水银), an organic form of the chemical which forms when bacteria react with mercury in water, soil or plants. Levels of mercury in the world’s ecosystems have increased by between 200% and 500%, since the industrial revolution, say experts, driven up by the use of fossil fuels such as coal.In recent years there have been concentrated efforts to limit the amount of mercury entering the environment, with an international treaty, called the Minamata Convention, signed by 136 countries in place since 2013.Researchers hope that the Minamata treaty will be successful and countries reduce the amount of mercury that is being produced. Otherwise this discovery of a previously unknown source could have impacts for human health.Other researchers in the field say that the new study highlights important issues that have previously been little known.“This work experimentally proves that climate change will have a significant effect of methylmercury budgets in coastal waters and its accumulation in fish,” said Milena Ho rvat from the Jozef Stefan Institute in Slovenia.“This work will also help us understand the formation of mercury in fish and help reduce mercury from emission sources (primarily industrial).”32. Where did Swedish researchers find warming increases levels of the toxin?A. In the Pacific Ocean.B. On the Continent.C. In Red Sea.D. In sea creatures.33. What can cause damage to the nervous system?A. Exposure to mercury.B. Mercury at high levels.C. Methylmercury.D. The use of fossil fuels.34. How does methylmercury form?A. By limiting the amount of mercury entering the environment.B. By reducing the amount of mercury.C. When bacteria react with mercury in water, soil or plants.D. When climate change returns to normal.35. What can we know from Milena Horvat’s words?A. Climate change will increase the levels of mercury in food.B. Levels of mercury in the world’s ecosystems have increased by between 200% and 500%.C. The Minamata Convention has been signed by 136 countries in place since 2013.D.

AThe Whizzfizzing FestivalOne of the “Home Counties” to the north and west of London, Buckinghamshire is known for the rolling Chiltern Hills, its pretty villages, and the much-loved children’s author Roald Dahl.The writer who penned Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, The Witches, Matilda and The Big Friendly Giant is the inspiration for the Whizzfizzing Festival—which will transform the market-town of Aylesbury into all kinds of music, colour and fun on Saturday, 1 July.Formerly known as The Roald Dahl Festival, this year’s event will celebrate a broad range of children’s films and bring to life some of its best-loved characters—from Alice in Wonderland and the Gruffalo to The Big Friendly Giant and Harry Potter.Things to see and doThe festivities start at 11 am with a colourful children’s parade.

In an upexpected accident, the cattle worker was feeding the animals in his charge when one bull cleaned him up and kicked his hand up against the rail, resulting in the thumb on his right hand being cut off. “My thumb was still hanging on the rail... when I got up off the ground,” Za c Mitchell says.His co-workers tried their best to preserve the thumb for reattachment, placing it on ice in a cooler, but two surgeries to put Mitchell’s thumb back in place failed. That’s when doctors came up with another suggestion: Remove one of his big toes to where his thumb used to be.Mitchell’s lead surgeon, Sean Nicklin, understood the man’s dilemma at first, calling it a “bit of a crazy idea”. After all, Zac Mitchell did not want to be injured in another part of his body. But as the thumb is incredibly important function-wise, Mitchell eventually gave in. Nicklin explains that the big toe is surprisingly fit for a thumb switch: Nerves sync up (同步) nicely, and it looks more like a thumb, though a giant one, than any other alternative they may have come up with. He added that big toes aren’t as necessary for balance and walking as people believe. As far as the foot goes, occasional “fine balance” activities like surfing might be difficult, but most people without a big toe function fine in everyday tasks like walking and even competitive sports.The eight-hour surgery went well, and Mitchell is expected to have a year or so of recovery in front of him before he heads back into the fields.4. What happened to Zac Mitchell on April 4th?A. He cleaned up a bull.B. He was badly hurt.C. He started his farm.D. He lost his thumbs.5. What suggestion did the doctor give to Mitchell after the unsuccessful surgery?A. Recreating a new thumb in place.B. Replacing the thumb with his toe.C. Transplanting his co-worker’s thumb.D. Putting back the cut-off thumb again.6. What is Mitchell’s first attitude to the doctor’s another suggestion?A. Optimistic.B. Insignificant.C. Hesitant.D. Rejective.7. According to Nicklin, after the surgery Mitchell is able to .A. surf on the seaB. do daily activitiesC. only stay at homeD. work on wheelchairCMany peopl e wrongly think that cities don’t have farms and that fruits and vegetables are only grown in the country. Believe it or not, there are more and more urban farms popping up in cities all over the world.Alexandra Sullivan, a food system researcher in New York City, studies urban agriculture. Urban agriculture is another name for farming and gardening in a city environment. Ms. Sullivan studies everything from tiny gardens in empty lots between buildings to bigger fields that have been planted and grown. Acc ording to Ms. Sullivan, “Urban agriculture has existed since cities have, across the world.”The number of humans living in urban areas, or cities, is increasing. The amount of people who want to garden in urban areas is also rising. Ms. Sullivan says, “In small gardens, on rooftops and indoors, they grow fruits, vegetables, grains, and herbs, and raise animals to produce milk, eggs, honey, and meat. They use these foods as supplements to food produced by rural agriculture.” Even though some people who live in urban areas grow crops, urban residents still need to rely on food grown in rural areas. This is because a city doesn’t have enough space to grow enough food for everyone living in it.In New York City, urban farmers have come up with many different ways to grow their own produce, even though there isn’t a lot of room. For example, Brooklyn Grange is a farming operation that has two rooftop vegetable farms in New York City. All together, the farms are made up of 2.5 acres of rooftop space. This makes Brooklyn Grange one of the largest rooftop farming operations in the world.Brooklyn Grange grows all kinds of things. The farming company sells its vegetables to local residents and restaurants. And because the farms are on rooftops, they are specially adapted to their urban location. They use available space that is not needed for anything else. As more urban farmers find ways to grow food in cities, urban residents will be better able to get fresher materials for their meals.8. Which of the following is M s. Sullivan’s opinion according to the text?A. The number of people living in cities is increasing slowly.B. Urban residents still rely on food grown in rural areas completely.C. Urban agriculture has a history as long as cities.D. Urban agriculture can provide huge income.9. What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. Farmers.B. City residents.C. Rural residents.D. Companies.10. What can we learn about Brooklyn Grange in New York City from the text?A. It has large farming areas.B. It can only grow single products.C. It produces enough food for citizens.D. It makes use of rooftop space to grow vegetables.11. What may be the best title for the text?A. Farms in CitiesB. Future Food SystemC. Food Grown in CitiesD. Agriculture of New York CityDAt your next meeting, wait for a pause in conversation and try to measure how long it lasts.Among English speakers, chances are that it will be a second or two at most. But while this pattern may be universal, our awareness of silence differs dramatically across cultures.What one culture considers a confusing or awkward pause may be seen by others as a valuable moment of reflection and a sign of respect for what the last speaker has said. Research in Dutch (荷兰语) and also in English found that when a silence in conversation stretches to four seconds, people start to feel uneasy. In contrast, a separate study of business meetings found that Japanese people are happy with silences of 8.2 seconds—nearly twice as long as in Americans’ meetings.In Japan, it is recognised that the best communication is when you don’t speak at all. It’s already a failure to understand each other by speaking because you’re repairing that failure by using words.In the US, it may originate from the history of colonial (殖民地的) America as a crossroads of many different races. When you have a complex of difference, it’s hard to establish common understanding unless you talk andthere’s understandably a kind of anxiety unless people are verbally eng aged to establish a common life. This applies also to some extent to London.In contrast, when there’s more homogeneity, perhaps it’s easier for some kinds of silence to appear. For example, among your closest friends and family it’s easier to sit in silence than with people you’re less well acquainted with.12. Which of the following people might have the longest silence in conversation?A. The Dutch.B. Americans.C. The English.D. The Japanese.13. What might the Japanese agree with in conversation?A. Speaking more gives the upper hand.B. Speak out what you have in your mind.C. Great minds think alike without words.D. The shorter talking silence, the better.14. What can we learn from the text?A. A four-second silence in conversation is universal.B. It’s hard for Americans to reach a common agreement.C. English speakers are more talkative than Japanese speakers.D. The closer we and our family are, the easier the silence appears.15. What does the underlined word “homogeneity” in t he last paragraph mean?A. Similarity.B. Contradiction.C. Diversity.D. Misunderstanding.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。

The photo-worthy moments we share serve as an important function in cultivating the photographic artistic eye.Instagram has got people to start noticing the art in their everyday life. It has also allowed us to share the artful moments in our lives with others. Clearly, making people focus on beautiful moments in their lives and how to share them is a positive takeaway from Instagram.Not only has Instagram changed the way we look at things around us, but it has also changed the way people view professional photography. Instagram has turned everyone with a smartphone into an artist. Opening up art to the general community is a groundbreaking(创新的) aspect of this application. Making artistic attempts accessible for everyone to discover their artistic talents and explore creatively is something that has made people find the beauty in the everyday life. However, this accessibility has also created questioning around art and respect deserved by professional photography.The art in a professional photograph versus(与…对抗) an Instagram can sometimes be hard to notice at a quick glance. But photographs taken by true professional photographers hold something that Instagram’s cannot match in terms of photographic quality, or advanced compositional knowledge.This is not to say Instagram is a lesser art. Aesthetic qualities of art are a personal matter and how good an artwork is depends on personal preferences. Good is a very arbitrary term in the art world. For example, I may find one photo more pleasing than another, but not everyonehas to agree with me.The point I am trying to make is that professional photography should not be lost, but instead approached with a new, enhanced level of respect and admiration — despite how accessible, common and fun Instagram now makes the taking and sharing of photos. 5．What does the writer mainly tell us in the passage?A．The increasing popularity of Instagram.B．The advantages and disadvantages of Instagram.C．The changes that Instagram brings us.D．The differences between Instagram and professional photography.6．What can the smartphone application Instagram do?A．Help people to discover true self.B．Inspire people to find the beauty in life.C．Encourage people to be more competitive.D．Let people gain others’ respect and admiration.7．Why do people begin to doubt the art of professional photography?A．Because common people can take perfect photos easily.B．Because they show no respect for professional photographers.C．Because the artistic level of professional photography is reducing.D．Because Instagram has changed the way people look at the world.8．What does the writer think of professional photography?A．Useful. B．Valueless.C．Helpless. D．Absurd.Teaching can be one of the most satisfying jobs in the United States. Yet many American teachers say they feel overworked, undervalued, and underpaid. This has led to what education experts call “teacher burnout,” a feeling of mental, physical, and emotional exhaustion.In all, nearly 50 percent of American teachers leave the profession before their fifth year. That information comes from a 2010 study by the advisory service McKinsey & Company.And, a 2016 study from Penn State University found that 46 percent of teachers report high daily stress. Teachers say the stress affects their sleep, health, teaching performance, and quality of life. The study identified mindfulness training as one promising solution forimproving teacher well-being.The Greater Good Science Center at the University of California — Berkeley studies the science and practice of well-being. It defines mindfulness as keeping “a moment-by-moment awareness of our thoughts, feelings, bodily sensations, and surrounding environment.”A person can reach this emotional state by spending time in quiet thought, without judging these thoughts and feelings. A number of people also meditate — they take slow, deep breaths to become calm.Many organizations around the country have designed mindfulness training programs for schools. Some of them are designed for teachers. The programs seek to reduce teacher stress while helping them be more effective in the classroom.Maureen Naughton is a seventh grade science teacher at a public middle school in the Bronx section of New York City. As a highly active teacher, Naughton would sometimes forget to take time to herself. But after the programs she shared the methods such as mindful walking and mindful eating — ways of enjoying those activities fully instead of being distracted by worries or responsibilities.Naughton also said the deep breathing methods help her to maintain calm when faced with the stress of trying to “meet everyone’s needs.”9．What does “teacher burnout” in Paragraph 1 mean?A．A condition of happiness and sorrow.B．A situation of physical exercise.C．A feeling of mental, physical, and emotional tiredness.D．A feeling of mental, physical, and emotional relaxation.10．What do mindfulness training programs designed for teachers try to do?A．They try to make teachers take slow, deep breaths to become calm.B．They try to reduce teacher stress to help teachers be more effective when teaching. C．They try to make teachers enjoy those activities fully.D．They try to make teachers spend time in quiet thought, without judging these thoughts and feelings.11．What can we infer from Naughton’s words?A．The deep breathing methods are a good way to let her keep calm when faced with stress. B．She dislikes the deep breathing methods.C．Don’t be distracted by worries or possi bilities.D．Enjoy all kinds of activities carefully.New mercury(汞) threat to oceans from climate change Rising temperatures could boost mercury levels in fish by up to seven times the current rates, said Swedish researchers in an article published in Science Journal. They’ve discovered warming increases levels of the toxin (毒素) in sea creatures. In experiments, they found that extra rainfall drives up the amount of organic material flowing into the seas. This alters the food chain, adding another layer of complex organisms which boosts the concentrations of mercury up the line.Mercury is one of the world’s most toxic metals, and according to the World Health Organization, is one of the top ten threats to public health. The substance at high levels has been linked to damage to the nervous system, paralysis and mental impairment in children.The most common form of exposure to mercury is by eating fish containing methylmercury(甲基水银), an organic form of the chemical which forms when bacteria react with mer cury in water, soil or plants.

D．The use of fossil fuels.14．How does methylmercury form?A．By limiting the amount of mercury entering the environment.B．By reducing the amount of mercury.C．When bacteria react with mercury in water, soil or plants.D．When climate change returns to normal.15．What can we know from Milena Horvat’s words?A．Climate change will increase the levels of mercury in food.B．Levels of mercury in the world’s ecosystems have increased by between 200% and 500%. C．The Minamata Convention has been signed by 136 countries in place since 2013. D．Mercury reduction from emission sources can be beneficial to fish.二、七选五Do you have what it takes to survive in the desert in the event of an accident or emergency? If you're thinking of traveling in the desert, you may consider studying up to learn some desert survival skills before you go. But you don't have to be a survival expert to stay alive in the desert, as long as you can keep some important tips in mind.Keep your head covered. It's been said that the biggest dangers in desert survival are exposure and dehydration (脱水). 16．One of the best defenses against the sun is always having a big hat or other coverings for your head with you. If the top of your head is exposed to the direct sun, or even indirect sun for long periods, your body needs to work hard to keep itself cool. 17．Cover the rest of your body as well. 18．Finding shade or constructing a shade shelter is one of the first ways for desert survival, as keeping out of the direct sun and not exposing yourself to the heat of the day will help to save water. The general idea is to stay out of the dehydrating rays of the sun during the day, and to travel during the cooler hours of the morning or evening.19．Actually, do drink the water, if you have it. Just don't run out of it all at the first sign of thirst. A better way is to ration (定量供应) it for yourself, taking smaller sips throughout theday. If you do come across water in the desert, use extreme caution before you start drinking it down － it may not be safe for drinking.20．The more you eat, the thirstier you'll get, so if you have food with you, take care to only nibble(小口吃) enough to keep the hunger pains away and your energy up. Your body can survive much longer without food than it can without water.A．Stay hungry.B．Don't drink the water.C．Drink as much water as possible.D．Neither of these is to be taken lightly.E.This goes hand in hand with the first tip.F.So the first rule in desert travel is covering the head up.G.And the last thing you want to do is increase your thirst.三、完形填空Anja Ringgren Lovén, a Danish care worker who 21 a young Nigerian (尼日利亚的) boy back in February, 22 Pope Francis and Barack Obama to top the list of 100 inspiring likes 23 by German-language Ooom Magazine.An image of Ms Lovén giving two-year-old Hope some water was 24 around the world, and served to 25 the work she was doing to help 26 children in Nigeria.27 he was rescued by Ms Lovén and her husband David, Hope had been 28 by his own family 29 the basis of rural superstition (迷信), forced to live on the street 30 he contracted (感染) a number of illnesses 31 worms.Speaking today about the experience, she said: “He was the size of a little baby, and my whole body 32 .”“I became a mother myself 20 months ago and I was 33 my own son as I saw the boy.

2.I saw it first, Amy said, as she ripped the old leather wallet out of Charlies hands. Without saying a word, as if they both understood that this was a secret they didn’t want to share with anyone, they slipped into the alley, where no one could see them look inside. "There’s got to be a million dollars here!" Charlie blurted out, when they saw the pile of hundred-dollar bills. Amy, the more realistic of the two, did a quick estimate, thumbing through the wad of cash. “More like thousands,” she said, her voice shaking i n disbelief. They’d found the wallet in a flowerbed by the sidewalk, when Charlie dropped his cell phone while he was trying to talk and eat a slice of pepperoni pizza at the same time. Amy stuffed the wallet into her backpack and pulled Charlie along by his elbow toward her house. As they rushed toward Viceroy Avenue, they talked excitedly about what they could do with the money—buy gifts for parents and friends, get new clothes, travel to the rainforest in Costa Rica, and adopt a whale. It looked like all of their dreams would come true. For the last block, however, they didn’t talk. Each began to suspect that the other one was silently adding to the list of things they could buy.They finally reached Amy s house, but instead of going inside, they walked around the house to the back porch. They opened the wallet and counted the money into piles of ten. The total was $2,400—more money than either of them had ever seen. Then they both started talking at once. “I wonder who lost it.” Their moods shifted, sinki ng from the high of being rich for fifteen minutes to resigning themselves to what they must do next.
