The First City You Should Visit Next Year
It’s about time to make travel plans for 2018, and the experts at Lonely Planet say one city should be first on your list.
Seville, Spain took top honors in the travel site’s annual Best in Travel roundup (简报). Seville ranked first due to its relatively new network of biking paths and a set of special local
activities related to the anniversary of legendary painter Bartolome Esteban Murillo. The city has also enjoyed some screen love lately. Seville was featured on “Game of Thrones” this year a nd will host the European Film Awards in 2018, making it a prime time to visit this brilliant historical hangout.
Even if you don’t stop by next year, Seville deserves a spot on your travel bucket list. The city is known for its rich history, superb architecture and authentic culture that includes plenty of tapas tasting and Flamenco dancing.
Must-sees include Seville’s central cathedral (大教堂), a UNESCO world heritage (遗产) site. The Alcazar’s palace and gardens were built over a 100-year span. Off the beate n track, you’ll find charming neighborhoods, bars, markets and churches waiting for your exploration.
USA Today says it’s best to visit Seville in spring, when weather is warm and the city celebrates both the Easter Holy Week and its annual fair.
21. What do the underlined words “Game of Thrones” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. An activity.
B. A TV series.
C. A palace.
D. A painting.
22. What do we know about Seville from the third paragraph?
A. It’s diverse.
B. It’s conservative.
C. It’s fashiona ble.
D. It’s controversial.
23. When is probably the best time to visit Seville?

B. April.
C. September.
D. November.

In a world full of Kates and Sarahs, you might think it’d be nice to have a unique name to help me stand out in a crowd. Being named Stacia (pronounced stay-sha) is not so lucky to me. I’ll get the occasional “Your name is so pretty” after introducing myself, but eventually my name causes me more frustration than happiness. For example, Microsoft Word always tries to tell me my name isn’t a real word. I was never able to buy a cheesy Mickey Mouse keychain from Disneyland as a kid (in other words, I didn’t have a childhood). I couldn’t even pronounce my own name correctly until I was five.
I once had a professor who pronounced my name differently each class. After a while I stopped correcting him, and that’s been my reaction to strangers ever since. In other cases, I’d
rather tell the cashier my name is Staci and save both of us, as well as the people standing behind me in line, valuable time.
Meeting new people gives me anxiety, and I’ve realized it’s easier just to lie about my name altogether in certain cases. Actually I did-so many times that Brittany is now my chosen “going out” name. It may have caused some confu sion with my friends at first, who would let out a small laugh or confused look, but I’ve trained them to keep a straight face whenever I came up with this fake (假的) name. Now going out on weekends means I get to have a shift of identity.
Frustrations aside, being the owner of a unique name has made me appreciate the little things in life. Someone pronouncing or spelling my name correctly on the first try brings me more joy than it probably should. I also love when I meet another Stacia and we get to bond over our shared struggles.
To any other Stacias reading this—I feel you, girl. P. S. I apologize to any real Brittanys out there. Thanks for letting me borrow your name!
24. How does the author often feel about her name?
A. Annoyed.
B. Happy.
C. Disappointed.
D. Proud.
25. Why does the author use a fake name?
A. To enjoy a different identity.
B. To stand out in a crowd.
C. To save time and trouble.
D. To make a fool of herself.
26. What’s the reaction of her friends to “Brittany” finally?
A. They are laughing at her.
B. They are used to it.
C. They are strongly against her.
D. They are confused about it.
27. How does the author sound when telling the story?
A. Guilty.
B. Cautious.
C. Curious.
D. Humorous.

When was the last time you sent a postcard? The UK’s family-owned oldest postcard firm, which has been publishing postcards and calendars since 1880, will close this December. The reason? It says instead of penning a card, people are putting photos up on Facebook or Instagram or us ing WhatsApp to show friends and family at home just how much fun they’re having.
If you get a postcard from someone who’s away somewhere, it’s as much the thought that they’ve gone through the hassle (麻烦) of choosing a postcard, working out where to get a stamp
from, finding a postbox and then the postcard making that journey through to you. That’s the value of the postcard. But that time has gone.
Brothers Charles and Harry Salmon, the fifth generation of the family to run the firm, said the popularity of social media had had a huge impact on the business. People are also tending to take shorter holidays, meaning they are likely to have arrived home long before their postcards. As a result the business was no longer viable.
“Increasingly challenging tradin g conditions and changes to the nature and size of the market for its publications have resulted in uncertainty over the future of its trade,’’ the brothers wrote in a letter to suppliers and newsagents.
As a result they were announcing a proposal to withdraw from publishing. The number of postcards sold each year is reported to have seen a sharp decline to about five million from 20 million just 25 years ago. But the firm said that as well as the drop in the number of postcards sent, “we have also had to c onsider that there are no more members of the family who wish to join the business.”
28. What is the best title of the text?
A. UK’s oldest postcard firm set to close.
B. Postcard industry booming in the future.
C. UK’s postcard firm through a tough time.
D. Postcard industry needing support to survive.
29. What’s the value of sending a postcard?
A. It’s a journey of love.
B. It’s a symbol of sympathy.
C. It’s an act of patience.
D. It’s a way of passing time.
30. What does the underlined word “viable” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Worthy of praise.
B. Possible to change.
C. Short of money.
D. Likely to exist.
31. Where does this text probably come from?
A. A business column.
B. A finance report.
C. A hi-tech advertisement.
D. A book review.
D
Like it or love it, social media is a major part of life. Clicking on a thumbs-up or a heart icon (图标) is an easy way to stay in touch. Whether you, re on Facebook, What’s App or Twitter, the way of keeping in touch is no longer face to face, but instead screen to screen, highlighted by the fact that more than 1 billion people are using Facebook every day. Social media has become second nature—but what impact is this having on us?
Lauren Sherman and her team, who study the brain at Temple University in Philadelphia, mixed 20 teens’ photos with 10 other pictures from public Instagram accounts. Then they randomly gave half of the images many likes (between 23 and 45; most had more than 30). They gave the other half no more than 22 likes (most had fewer than 15).
The researchers wanted to find out how the participants’ brains were responding to the different images. While the teens were in a machine, researchers asked them to either like an image or skip to the next one. Teens were much more likely to like images that seemed popular—those that had more than 23 likes, Sherman’s team found. The kids tended to skip pictures with few likes.
As part of the experiment, participants were also shown a range of “neutral” p hotos showing thing s like food and friends, and “risky” photos concerning cigarettes and alcohol. When looking at photos showing risky behaviors, such as smoking or drinking-no matter how many likes they had—the brain region linked to cognitive (认知的) control tended to become less active. These kinds of pictures can lower the viewer’s self-control. That means what you like online has the power to influence not just what others like, but even what they do. Viewing pictures like these could make teens let down their guard when it comes to experimenting with drugs and alcohol, Sherman worries.
32. What does the text focus on?
A. The behaviors of teens.
B. The self-control of teens.
C. The influence of social media.
D. The popularity of social media.
33. Which of the following might be included in the experiment?
A. Seventeen images are given 20 likes.
B. Fifteen images are given 25 likes.
C. Fifteen images are given 42 likes.
D. Eight images are given 40 likes.
34. What’s Sherman’s concern about online photos?
A. More likes may be given.
B. Misbehaviors may be encouraged.
C. More risky pictures may be posted.
D. Cognitive control may become less active.
35. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To condemn immoral social behaviors.
B. To promote modem social media.
C. To explain the brain system.
D. To introduce a new research.
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。

选项中有两项为多余选项。

We all have one, don’t we? A friend who’s always late. The one who turns up for coffee a full half hour after the appointed time. 36 . The dear pal who sends a message saying “Sorry, bit delayed.”, when they’re already 20 minutes behind schedule. Or just maybe, if you’re really honest, this persistently tardy (拖延的) individual is actually you yourself. 37 .
How on earth can people be so inconsiderate?
Recent research suggests that there might be more to this than simple rudeness. Psychologists from Washington University believe people view time differently. 38 . It even provided them with a clock. Despite this, some people became so absorbed in the activity that they completely forgot to check the clock.
39 . The less punctual among us often share characteristics such as “optimism, low levels of self-control, anxiety.” Why optimism, you ask? Optimists tend to over estimate how much they can achieve and underestimate problems, which means they don’t account for the long traffic jam on the way to meet you for that coffee.
Here’s another thought: maybe language is to blame? The English phrase “to be fashionably late” is used to describe the proper time to arrive at an event. If you’re too early, you can appear overly eager, but if you’re a bit late, you seem cool and sophisticated (老练的). The problem is, what one person regards as fashionably late, another may view as plain impolite. 40 .
A. Our personality also plays a role
B. Keep a distance from those full of excuses
C. Next time you have coffee, do try to be on time
D. The one who seems to be forever “stuck in traffic”
E. Either way, lateness can be extremely annoying to the receiving end
F. Participants were required to set down how long they finished a task
G. Their study gave participants a specific amount of time to complete a task

阅读下面短文，在空白处填写1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

With the rapid spread of western cultures, a 61 (grow) number of Chinese people prefer western holidays to traditional ones. When Christmas or Valentine’s Day 62 (come), youngsters will flood into bars, restaurants, or department stores to celebrate these festivals, but actually they don’t know much about Chinese traditional festivals.
The reason behind this social phenomenon is obvious: in a society controlled by mass media and consumerism, festivals and holidays from abroad 63 (identify) as fashionable and new,
while traditional ones are usually something out of date and old. Young people all over the world have regarded western life style, 64 (especial) the life in Hollywood films, 65 their goal of life. As a consequence, 66 is no wonder that Chinese young people have much more affection for Christmas than China’s Spring Festival.
We should think about the influence of such 67 social phenomenon carefully. It is obvious that the wide spread and recognition of western holidays is 68 (harm) to our traditional value. If we don’t take some 69 (measure) right now, some day in the future, Chinese cultural heritage may be strange to our grandchildren. It is high time for the government and all people 70 (take) action to protect our traditional culture.

Every participant is required to read the text emotionally. Meanwhile, readers can share reading experience and communicate with each other in Chinese.
If you plan to participate in this activity, be sure to have your reading material ready in advance. For someone so fond of Chinese like you, it is absolutely a great opportunity you can’t miss.
Best wishes.
Yours,

(Text 1)
M: Have you seen my gloves anywhere? I’ve checked the cupboard but they’re not there. Did I leave them on the desk?
W: Oh, yes. I remember. I moved them from there and put them on the shelf by the window. I needed to do some work on the desk.
(Text 2)
M: Jenny, that report has to be done by 7 p.m.
W: Oh. I thought I had to finish it until tomorrow noon. Won’t we have a meeting at that time?
M: It has been rescheduled at 2 p.m. today.
(Text 3)
W: Do you know how to put this part back on the machine?
M: I have no idea. You should have called someone to fix it.
W: It’s been driving me crazy. Oh, well. I’ll just call in a repairman.
(Text 4)
M: Are you starting work an hour earlier these days?
W: No. I’m not. I’ve decided to walk to work now that the weather is nice, and that means I have to leave an hour earlier than usual.
M: That’s your exercise plan.
(Text 5)
M: Did you read the e-mail I sent you this morning?
W: No. We were having serious problems, and we lost all the messages that came in and went out of the company between 7 and 11.
(Text 6)
M: Just smel l that, will you? Cool, isn’t it?
W: Mmm … I think it’ll be great!
M: Better than that popcorn we made when we burnt the pan! Do you remember, Mum made us promise never to make it at home again.
W: She didn’t need to. It was seriously bad! We’ll just have to remember to get this pizza out.
M: Yeah, in fifteen minutes it’ll be ready.
W: Yes, it was a good idea. What do you think we should have for dessert? I fancy some cakes!
M: Yeah. Let’s make one.
(Text 7)
W: Dan, why don’t you say hello to your neighbo rs?
M: They just moved here. And I don’t like them.
W: Aren’t they easy-going?
M: Not in that way. They seem to be friendly whenever you see them.
W: That sounds not bad.
M: But their dogs are too noisy and they often come into my yard.
W: I think dogs are lovely.
M: But I don’t like dogs. They’re too scary and dangerous. Every time I want to go out, I have to look through the window to see whether a dog is there or not.
W: Have you talked to them about this?
M: No, if the dog comes in, I’ll call the police.
W: I think you’d better talk to your neighbors first.
(Text 8)
M: Hello! I’m calling about the apartment you have advertised in today’s The Daily Mail.
W: Yes. I will have a trip, so the house will be empty for two weeks.
M: Great! I’d like to hire a short period of time. Two weeks is just enough. Could you introduce your apartment to me?
W: Sure. It’s a one-bedroom apartment with a big balcony. But it has a small kitchen.
M: That’s just my cup of tea. What’s the price?
W: $ 400 per month. You need only to pay for electricity, for gas and water are included. And you can use the parking lot free of charge.
M: Sounds good. Then I can save some money. May I come over tomorrow to take a look?
W: Today is Wednesday. How about the day after tomorrow? I’ve got an appointment tomorrow.
M: OK.
(Text 9)
W: Do you do a lot of your shopping online?
M: Yes. I tend to do more of my shopping online, including my food shopping, because it saves time and money. I’ve never really had a problem with it. Even when I wan t to return something, it’s always really good.
W: There are a lot of Internet shopping sites. What kind of site do you use the most?
M: Well, it’s hard to say. I’ve bought books and DVDs and things like that from Amazon. I just order them online, and they get sent to my door. I use Trade Me quite a lot too, where you can buy things, used or new, from other users. So, I’ve bought computer software, a computer and a camera, and I’ve been satisfied every single time. Also, I use some other Internet shopping s ites to buy rare and difficult-to-find records. They offer records that often record shops do not have.
W: Have you bought anything online recently?
M: Yes. This month, I bought all of my family’s Christmas presents online. I bought my mother a coat, and my father a golf bag. My sister needs a sofa. I just ordered it online.
W: Really? I’ve never bought anything that large. I don’t think it is an easy job to deliver a sofa. Hasn’t it arrived yet?
M: No, but I’m looking forward to seeing how they will delive r it.

M: My name is Jake, and I recently went on a diving trip with my family—swimming under the water. It was very exciting. I’d never gone diving in open water before, like a river or a lake. And I had always been expecting a real sea dive. I’d just done my diving training in a pool. I was really looking forward to my first real sea dive. We couldn’t decide where to go at first. We considered going somewhere in Indonesia or in Australia, but then friends in the USA offered to let us stay with them, so we went to the coast there, where there were perfect diving conditions.
I was a bit worried as we were swimming around because we’d heard there might be sharks in the area—only small ones, but it didn’t matter! So I was very scared when some big sea animals came swimming toward us—but they turned out to be whales! They played with us in the water. We even managed to get some photos. We hoped we’d see some flying fish—but no such luck.
Each day’s dives were completely different. We did three dives on the first day, and four on the second, plus a few more on the third—twelve dives altogether! It was the best trip ever.。
