There's a biological reason why a lot of our bad habits are so hard to break-they get1（wire） into our brains."Why are bad habits stronger? You're fighting against the power of an immediate reward." Says Dr. Nora Volkow, director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse and an authority on the brain's pleasure pathway."We all as creatures are behaving that way, to give greater value to an immediate reward as opposed to2is delayed, " Volkow says.How this bit of happiness turns into a habit involves a pleasuresensing chemical named dopamine. It causes the brain3（pursue） that reward again and again strengthening the connection each time-especially when it gets the right hint from your environment.People tend to overestimate their ability to resist temptations around them,thus4（destroy） attempts to give up bad habits. Even scientists who recognize it5show weakness. "I know popcorn is not healthy. But every time I go to the cinema, I have to eat it, " Volkow says. "It's fascinating."A movement to pay people for behavior changes may exploit that connection, as some companies offer employees outright payments for insurance for adopting better habits.6well paying for behavior plays out, researchers say there are still some steps that may help fight your brain's hold7newly-established habits.Repeat, repeat, repeat the new behavior-the same routine at the same time of day. You decide to exercise. Doing it at the same time of the morning, rather than fitting it incasually,8（make） the striatum （终脑皮层） recognize the habit. Therefore, if you don't keep doing it, you will feel frustrated.Exercise itself raises dopamine levels, so eventually your brain will get a feel-goodhit9your muscles protest.Besides, try to reward yourself with10that you really desire. For instance, if you exercise all week or stick to your diet, you could try a fancy restaurant-safer perhaps than a box of cookies because the price inhibits the quantity.二、选词填空（共10小题，每题1分，满分10分）2、【来源】 2018年上海静安区高三二模第31~40题As the increased amount of carton dioxide in the atmosphere, heat stress, longer droughts （干旱）, and more intense rainfalls linked to global warming continue to upset our daily weather, we often forget they also1the quantity, quality, and growing locations of our food. Many foods have already2top spots on the world's "endangered foods" list, indicating their possibility to become scarce within the next 30 years.To start with what is3in many people's lives, we are disappointed to find that coffee plantations in South America, Africa, Asia, and Hawaii are all being threatened by rising air temperatures and erratic （不稳定的） rainfall patterns, which invite disease and invasive speciesto4the coffee plant and beans. The result? Significant cuts in coffee output.And Coffee's culinary cousin, cacao （aka chocolate）, is also suffering stress from global warming's rising temperatures. But for chocolate, it isn't the warmer climate alone that's the problem. Cacao trees actually prefer warmer climates as long as that warmth is paired with high humidityand5rain. However, the problem is that the higher temperatures projected for the world's leading chocolate-producing countries are not expected to be6by an increase in rainfall. Therefore as higher temperatures take more moisture from soil and plants, it's unlikely that rainfall will increase enough to make up for this loss.A notably nutritious plant, the peanut grows best when it gets five months of continuous warm weather and 20 to 40 inches of rain. Anything less and plants won't survive. That isn't good news when most climate models agree that the climate of the future will be one ofthe7including droughts and heatwaves.The world has already caught a glimpse of the peanut's future fate when last year a serious drought across the peanut-growing. Southeastern U.S. led many plants to die. According to a financial report, the dry8caused peanut prices to rise by as much as 40 percent!Finally, in the world of sea, as air temperatures rise, oceans and waterways absorb some of the heat and undergo warming of their own. The result is the9in fish population. Wanner waters also encourage vicious marine bacteria, like Vibrio, to grow and cause illness in humans.And that satisfying "crack" you get when eating crab （蟹） couldbe10as shellfish struggle to build their calcium carbonate （碳酸钙） shells, a result of ocean acidification.A. necessaryB. infectC. extremesD. refreshedE. spellsF. impactG. accompaniedH. sufficientI. shrinkJ. silencedK. earned三、完形填空（共15小题，每题1分，满分15分）3、【来源】 2018年上海静安区高三二模第41~55题"Don't get sick in July!"This is a common concern in teaching hospitals in the U.S. It's driven by the academic calendar: July is when the new interns, fresh out of medical school, start work. In other words, it's when everyone is most1. The theory is that this disadvantage leads to mistakes.So is medical experience good or bad? Well, in most cases, your doctor's experience is very helpful, allowing her to pick up on a（n）2symptom early in a disease process, when machines still can't take a hand. She can also determine the right treatment when your condition falls outside of what is in the3, where newbies get most of their ideas. For many medical treatment, there's a direct connection between physician experience and your treating outcome.In a variety of situation? though, experience can backfire. The reason issimple4. Doctors are humans too andthey5tricks of the mind-like believing that an ineffective treatment really works. In fact, entire fields of research are devoted to understanding why these errors of thought occur. They6from so-called cognitive prejudice that can misleadeven7practitioners into making the wrong decisions.Doctors are usually locked onto a diagnosis early and disregard newand8information. For example, a patient may be diagnosed with a quickly fatal cancer, but then ends up trying various herbal remedies and lives for 30 more years. Instead ofanalyzing the9diagnosis, the patient, and maybe even the doctor, may assume that the herbal remedies cured the cancer.Also, some experienced doctors tend to believe evidence when it supports their previous opinion while subconsciously ignoring information opposing it. Let's say your doctor is pretty certain you have ill digestion and orders a test to10the suspicion, which produces negative result. But she treats you for ill digestion anyway because she was11with the prior diagnosis by experience.In fact, there are clearly many benefits to having a highly experienced doctor, such as technical proficiency. But there may actually be some unexpected benefits to having a less-experienced one too. She may have a more up-to-date education, boundless energy and perhaps is less vulnerable to biases, freed from the same12for years.To safeguard yourself as a patient, one thing you should always do is13. It may not always be possible to determine that your doctor has met with ah unconsciousthinking14. But asking questions does force your doctor to think twiceand15her decision about your case.A. innocentB. productiveC. inexperiencedD. prohibitedA. slightB. objectiveC. complexD. sustainableA. psychologyB. traditionC. realityD. textbookA. psychologyB. educationC. procedureD. priorityA. take advantage ofB. make sense ofC. fall victim toD. play fire withA. springB. departC. benefitD. distinguishA. highly-motivateB. well-seasonedC. deeply-offendedD. wide-eyedA. moderateB. visibleC. conflictingD. permanentA. initialB. toughC. multipleD. privateA. evaluateB. operateC. confirmD. reviseA. preoccupiedB. labelledC. associatedD. concernedA. professional circleB. thinking patternC. academic backgroundD. operating orderA. investigatingB. questioningC. monitoringD. observingA. obstacleB. trapC. horizonD. struggleA. practiceB. accommodateC. justifyD. remove四、阅读理解（共11小题，每题2分，满分22分）4、【来源】 2018年上海静安区高三二模（A篇）第56~59题Last October I was on a diving holiday in the Philippines with seven other advanced divers. I dived off the boat slowly sinking to about 20m.After nearly 45 minutes, the sound of my breathing was drowned out by a low rumble like an engine and I felt deep powerful vibrations （震动） as if a big boat with a propeller was passing overhead. The dive instructor's eyes were wide with confusion too. We both swam next to each other staying close to the side of the reef （礁石） . The situation felt sinister.Then we were enveloped by clouds of white sand that mushmoomed up around us. Could it be a giant turtle （海龟） racing past us? They are normally slow movers so this was very weird behavior. The vibration became so intense that I could feel it in my homes and then the sound turned into a deafening roar. Suddenly, a few meters below us, breaks began forming and the sand was sucked down. That's when I got what it was. The noise was the sound of the earth splintering open and grinding against itself.The instructor and I held hands and looked into each other's eyes. I felt comforted by his presence. I was numb （麻木的） for terror but clear-headed. My body went on high alert, ready to react. But I have no power over whatever this is. The only option is to stay very still and let it do whatever its going to do.It took enormous willpower to resist the urge to swim to the surface, which is not sensible as situation on the surface at that time was ambiguous with potential threats pending. Soon we saw other divers.The sound and vibration lasted only two or three minutes and when they stopped I heard the swoosh of sand falling over the seabed. We all held hands before resurfacing to avoid decompression sickness, which can be fatal. When up, it was a huge relief to see all the divers and we all shared incredulous looks before pulling out our breathing tools and shouting, "What was that? "Back on the boat, we rushed to check the news and confirmed we had witnessed a huge earthquake, measuring 7.2 on the Richter scale. It released more energy than 30 Hiroshima bombs, though it seemed that we were not at the epicenter （震中） . I was high and felt lucky surprisingly not because of my recent survival miracle, but to have experienced nature at its most stunning and its most frightening.(1) How did the author realize that they met with an earthquake?A. By feeling the violent shake under the sea.B. By witnessing a normally-slow turtle quickly moving by.C. By seeing the seafloor crack.D. By checking the news and be informed of the event.(2) Why didn't the author rise to the surface before the vibration stopped?A. Because the instructor gestured him not to rise.B. Because he was numb in body.C. Because he could sense the unclear water situation.D. Because he tried to avoid unexpected danger above.(3) Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. At the beginning of the event, a big boat passed by causing big vibration.B. All the divers used the reef as the protection against the violent vibration.C. I felt relieved as the instructor was experienced in handling situations like this.D. Powerless to fight nature, I was tame when under the water.(4) Why did the author feel fortunate on the boat?A. Because he was not at the epicenter of the earthquake.B. Because he finally survived a huge earthquake.C. Because he could witness a rare natural phenomenon.D. Because he didn't suffer from decompression sickness.5、【来源】 2018年上海静安区高三二模（B篇）第60~62题Amazon is presenting to you our weekly bestsellers in the fiction section.Twilight WhispersLinked for years through friendship and intermarriage, the Warren and Whyte families find their charmed world marred when Mark Whyte and his wife Deborah Warren are murdered. Police detectives, hearing about TAL#NBSP dissension of the families, set out to examine the mystique behind their superficial rapport.Katia Morell, daughter of the Whyte's housekeeper, is drawn back to her growing place and is forced to face her life-long love for Jordan Whyte. As many secrets are uncovered, especially about Katia's biological father, the two young people from rival families are encountering fierce family objection in their search for happiness.The New ColossusNellie Bly, blessed with courage and reportage skill, lands two front-page stories on the widely-read newspaper, Joseph Pulitzer's NEW YORK WORLD.Pulitzer is so impressed that he assigns her to murder case confusion the police—the death of Emma Lazaru. Her investigation leads to tense encounters with some powerful and ruthless men of the time, when evils run wild on unregulated upper class. Bly has one real ally: a doctor who uses scientific techniques to establish criminal behavior. As the pieces fall into place, Bly uncovers layers of corruption （腐败） . The essential connection between the murder case and the prevalent greed and darkness of the society finally emerges.The Last Days of NightA young lawyer name Paul Cravath, takes a case that seems impossible to win. Paul's client, George Westinghouse, has been sued by Tomas Edison over a billion-dollar question: Who invented the light bulb and holds the right to power the country?The case affords Paul entry to the heady world of high society—the glittering parties and the dark dealings behind closed doors. The task is beyond daunting. Edison is a dangerous opponent with vast resources at his disposal—private spies, newspapers. Yet this unknown lawyer shares with his famous opponent a compulsion to win at all costs.In obsessive pursuit of victory, Paul receives favors from Nikola Tesla, a brilliant inventor holding the key to defeating Edison.Bones Don't LiePrivate investigator Lance Kruger was just a boy when his father vanished twenty-three years ago. Since then he's lived under the weight of that disappearance for over 20 years—until his father's car is finally dragged out from Grey Lake. It should be a time for closure, except for the skeleton found in the trunk. A missing person case gone cold has become a murder.For Lance, the investigation yields troubling questions about a man he thought he knew. But memories can play dirty tricks. For his partner attorney Morgan, uncovering each new lie comes with a disquieting fear that someone is out there watching, killing every witness tied to this decades-old crime.(1) In which way is The Last Days of Night different from the other three novels?A. In that The Last Days of Night exposes the evil and the dark dealings of the upper class life then.B. In that nobody is killed illegally in The Last Days of Night.C. In that the leading character in The Last Days of Night has got help from other characters.D. In that the leading character is born into a rich upper class family.(2) Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. In Twilight Whispers, the biggest challenge for Katia and Jordan is the long separation of time and space between them.B. In The New Colossus, the cause of the murder is rooted in the then corrupted society.C. In The Last Days of Night, Paul finally wins the law case because of his client Westinghouse's vast resources at disposal.D. In Bones don't lie, Lance Kruger's father was confirmed by the police as the murdered when Lance was a boy.(3) The underlined word TAL#NBSP dissention is closet in meaning to.A. financial worseningB. the loss of powerC. silenceD. conflict6、【来源】 2018年上海静安区高三二模（C篇）第63~66题If what we did were simply work to live, the reality of our everyday existence would be equivalent to that of stone age man. All of human achievement that makes modern life possible has happened because of the time that has been freed up from the work of everyday survival.For most of the human species on earth man and woman have been occupied with the simple business of staying alive in as much relative comfort as possible. Hunting and gathering, finding or building shelter, defending the little that one has from plunder （抢夺）, surviving long enough to have offsprings of a mature enough age to contribute to the welfare of the group—this was initially the main business of living. It has only been comparatively recently, since the agricultural and industrial revolutions that used emerging technologies to free human beings from the TAL#NBSP drudgery of day-to-day survival, that time has become available to do other than simply survive.However, living to work is a luxury that we should not take for granted, for even now still most of the human race couldn't be blessed with the pearl.When we live to work we enjoy what we are doing, otherwise we wouldn't be doing it. The term "live to work" implies choice. Working to live denotes the exact opposite: anything will do that pays the bills. Anyone in the latter situation will attest to the undesirability of being in such a position. Living to worksuggests exhilaration in one's calling; it summons images of freedom and excitement in the prospect of what each new day will bring, whereas working to live suggests little choice if any. "What do you want to do when you grow up? " is a question with which most children will be familiar, perhaps even bored. It is a question of what even a young adult can often not be sure of until they have had experiences of many different jobs, or at least the ones they thought to try. But to be forced to work at a task that one does not enjoy day after day for survival would be last choice on anyone's list. Enlightened humanity, while acknowledging that some undesirable jobs must be done regardless, would acknowledge that if one is motivated in his work, the work will be so much better accomplished.(1) The underlined word drudgery is closest in meaning to.A. imaginationB. hard laborC. draggingD. familiarity(2) It is implied in the text that human beings.A. have been satisfied by contributing to the welfare of the group.B. stayed alive in much possible comfort for centuriesC. made little progress before the emergence of technologiesD. were addicted to hunting, gathering and building shelters.(3) Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. Human achievements facilitating modern life are done during the leisure time freed from survival work.B. The major early business of humans is to seek chances for technological developments.C. In modern society, most people have enough comforts to make individual choices for work.D. Most adults can answer confidently questions concerning what jobs they want to do.(4) The best title for the passage would be.A. Technology, a driving force to push humans ahead.B. Working to live, a basic condition for pleasant living to work.C. Different desires and prospects people have for different kinds of work.D. Working to live or living to work, a choice distinguishing joy from suffering.五、信息匹配（共4小题，每题2分，满分8分）7、【来源】 2018年上海静安区高三二模第67~70题Most people don't need science to appreciate the importance of a mother's love. But to understand how early maltreatment can derail a child's development requires careful study.In a famous research, Harry Harlow had demonstrated that proper psychological and physical development of infants requires nurturing and attention from a parent.1In that research, socially isolated monkey babies that were removed from their mothers were found to be clinging to a cloth-covered surrogate （替代的） mother for comfort.Such experimentations sound cruel. They, however, have.been critical in helping change policies in human orphanages （孤儿院） in the U.S. For centuries some orphanages treated infants equally inhumanely. Despite early evidence that orphanage infants were far more likely to die than others, supporters argued that it didn't matter whether children had "parents" specially devoted to them at the orphanage.2Orphans were supposed to be in positive mental and physical health until adoptive parents were found. Babies, they said, couldn't remember anyway.The harrowing consequences of these theories were most vividly brought to light in Romania in the 1980s and '90s. A ban on abortion （流产） led to a surge in orphanage babies. Simply being fed and changed without individualized affection, some babies present serious problems. Many developed violent behaviors, repetitively rocking or banging their heads. Some were cold and withdrawn or indiscriminately affectionate.3Their head sizes were especially small. They even had problems with attention and compression. The longer these children were left alone, the more damage was seen.The lack of a secure attachment relationship in the early years has destructive consequences for both physical and mental health later in life, with long-lasting effects. The persistence of these effects emphasizes the need to intervene early in life. The Nobel-prize-winning economist James Heckman, has long argued that investing in early childhood education provides a greater return for society than virtually any other type of spending. It is obviously reflected in increased educational success and productivity. The reduced crime, addiction, distress and disorder point to the same theory. Early life conditions critically affect adult life.4Remove it and the harm is great.A. The appropriate feeding and caring styles were greatly rewarded in all aspects.B. It was claimed that simply feeding and changing them would be adequate.C. Some, however, demonstrate little influence with roughly ordinary behavior pattern.D. Maternal attachment plays a fundamental role in shaping who we are.E. Necessities are not just the availability of food and water.F. And they simply didn't grow like normal infants.六、翻译句子（共4小题，每题2分，满分8分）8、【来源】 2018年上海静安区高三二模第71~75题Directions: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.(1) 听到学校篮球队赢球的消息，我们都很兴奋。

ALife experiences can show one’s“grit”（坚韧）Complex challenges early inlife helped the following people develop skills that got them to the top of their professions.Ursula Burns,Chairwoman,VEON;Former CEO,XeroxHer family was so poor that her single mother traded office cleaning for health care.But Bums’early gift for math won her a scholarship and an internship at Xerox,where she would compete her way to the top.“I’m a black lady from the Lower East Side”she says.“Not a lot scares me.”Howard Schultz,Executive Chairman,StarbucksSchultz grew up in public housing in Brooklyn,surrounded by poverty,and was the first in his family to go to college(on a football scholarship).After training in sales,he set up the company that would later buy Starbucks.“In the course of the year I spent trying to raise money,I spoke to242people,and217 of them said no.”he said.Sean Combs,CEO,Sean JohnCombs began a generation of hip-hop talent and made a lasting influence on fashion.But his story could have turned out much differently:his drng dealer father was killed when he was3.“It made me work even harder."he recently said.Geisha Williams,CEO,PG&EHer parents fled Cuba when Williams was5.By7,she was her parents’main translator in talks with lawyers and accountants at grocery stores they owned in New Jersey.The experience did help her.“I went from thinking I could be a manager to thinking I could do something much bigger.”she told Fortune.21.Who did best in math at school?bs.B.Bums.C.Schultz.D.Williams.22.How did the death of Combs’father influence him?A.It made him a failure.B.He became a drug dealer.C.It made him even stronger.D.He became a hip-hopper.23.What can we learn from the passage?A.Cuba is a good place to do business.B.No one wanted to help Schultz at first.C.Poor family kids can be successful easily.D.Difficulty in life pushed Williams forward.BLooking at a pile of old photos,I couldn’t help feeling rather regretful.I’ve never got into the habit of sorting out photos.However,it’s almost a habit of mine to have photos taken thoughtlessly.Thus,photos have been pilingup in my childhood to womanhood.In spite of that,those black-and-white pictures taken in my early years are rarely kept,except a few survivals regarded as antiques.A bald（秃头的）baby picture of me that I treasured,the only one left,is now missing.Familiar faces flash one by one before my eyes.Though the world is so small and we all live in it,yet we are separated by physical and psychological distances,some smaller,some larger.With the passage of time,one cannot, regretfully,relive（重温）it with the same feeling as one had in the picture.What one can get from the old photos is but a bit of the past joy.One takes pictures with different persons in different time and places. They fill one with nostalgia（怀旧）in various degrees--some more,some less, and others none.That’s why one has conflicting feelings towards the old photos. Still kept with the current ones,they are even less favored than a daily-used cup, which is always close to the owner.How these pieces of thought influence me!Photos keep our images rather than our sentiment,which may not ren1ain.The image is always there,but not its owner,whom the photo cannot keep,neither can it keep the event.Of course,there are some of the photos still holding my affection,such as those taken with my family members,with favorite playmates,fellow girl-students and best friends,not only in pictures but also in my life and heart.Now,since I have learned all this,I will not allow myself to be included casually in a photo taken with others.I’ll make sure that the friendship can last before I take a photo with somebody.24.Why did the writer have only a few black-and-white pictures?A.She took fewer of them.B.She took photos thoughtlessly.C.She didn’t take good care of them.D.She only liked the bald baby picture.25.What can we get from the old photos according to the writer?A.All the past events.B.Some past happiness.C.All the past excitement.D.The everlasting memory.26.What does the underlined word“sentiment”m paragraph5probably mean?A.Look.B.Thought.C.Feeling.D.Influence.27.What is the writer likely to do when asked to take a photo with others?A.To take the photo happily.B.To refuse the request politely.C.To ignore the request casually.D.To think carefully before.action.CAs an Asian country,Singapore has a reputation for being highly westernized,with English a1nong the country’s four official languages,but a couple of signs found on local buses that have recently become a hit online may say otherwise.Quite different from the English we know,the signs read,for example，“Here cannot go in instead of“No Entry”,and“Here can charge phone"instead of“Charge phone here”.This language that resembles English is called Singaporean English,or“Singlish”．The New York Times calls Singlish“patchwork”because Singapore consists of migrants（移民）from several countries including China,India and Malaysia,and they all speak their own versions of“English”．“Everyone who speaks it shapes it”wrote the newspaper.For example,in Singlish you can easily recognize influences from Chinese, including vocabulary such as“Mee Siam"and“da bao”.Sentence structures like“toilet where”instead of“where’s the toilet”also comefrom Chinese.Interesting and diverse as it may seem,the trend for Singlish js worrying Singapore’s government.It is concerned that the dialect is lowering the country’s English standard and may affect its relationship with visitors.It even started the Speak Good English Movement.Unfortunately,the problem was not solved.Instead,Singlish has boomed,especially among young people who think of it as a sign of being cool and a way of identifying themselves as Singaporean.But this doesn’t mean that Standard English is being abandoned by young people.In fact,they are much more capable than the government gives credit-they can speak both.“We are a nation good at code-switching-we know that the way we speak to friends or drivers must be different from how we act at work or school”wrote Cheryl,a Singaporean author,in Times magazine.“To actively urge us to give up a language that speaks to the very heart of who we are,that so beautifully represents the melting pot of Chinese,Indians,Malaysians and Eurasians that we are,is shortsighted,surely.”28.Why does Singapore have many different versions of English?A.It is made up of migrants.B.It is highly westernized.C.It is influenced by Chinese.D.It is affected by official languages.29.What is the purpose of starting the Speak Good English Movement?A.To stop the new trend.B.To better the relationship.C.To keep the English standard.D.To give the government credit.30.What do the young people think of Singlish?A.It’s interesting.B.It’s their identity.C.It’s a sign of status.D.It’s a way of code-switching.31.What can we learn from what Cheryl said?A.Different people speak different styles of Singlish.B.Singlish is a more beautiful language than others.C.People speak Singlish only to friends and drivers.D.People can use Singlish to express themselves well.DLong before iPhones,the cigarette was the companion of choice for restlessness.And long before Facebook and WeChat,it was tobacco that promised to better your social life.Now,quitting smartphones has become thenew quitting smoking.Of course,technology does not yellow your teeth,cause disease or lead to cancer.But some individuals are so concerned that device addiction is damaging their mental health.In order to reduce their dependence,even in Silicon Valley,people are turning off the messages that constantly buzz for their attention,banning smartphones from the bedroom and,curiously,changing the colours on their screens to a less tempting scale of grey.The big tech companies will have to work out how to respond to this new generation of quitters.Facebook is the first to go public with its attempt,hoping its recent move can make the social network more homely.Last year the tech industry got a bad name-Big Tech with unfortunate echoes of other industries that have faced fierce opposition,including Big Tobacco.Like them,the tech industry has to reduce concern from a new generation of activist shareholders（股东）that are questioning its role in the world.These campaigns are never as fierce as those faced by Big Tobacco.In the1990s,socially responsible investors refused to put money in tobacco stocks.It is far difficult for investors to challenge Big Tech and hard to separate the good these companies do in the world-connecting old friends and giving space for people to share their ideas-from the bad.In the meantime,stopping using technology remains problematic.In The World Without Mind:The Existential Threat of Big Tech,Franklin Foer argues that tech should be seen in a similar way to junk food:a convenience that some reject for more continuing nutrition.So we need to do more to turn the tide.In the same way that public service announcements made smoking around your children taboo（禁忌）,we can warn parents against losing themselves in their smartphones while taking care of kids.We can also create no-smartphone zones at dinner.Eventually, smartphones could be banned from all public places and help us give ourattention to the people around us instead.32.How did people keep close relationships with others in the past?A.By smoking.B.By drinking.C.By phoning.D.By dining out.33.Why is the tech industry called Big Tech?A.It plays a bad role in the world.B.It is as big as Big Tobacco.C.It has an unfortunate name.D.It is a giant in Silicon Valley.34.What can we infer from Franklin Foer’s argument about tech?A.It promotes social development.B.It is still favored by some people.C.It is worse than Big Tobacco.D.It offers continuing nutrition.34.Which can be the best title for the passage?A.Creating a No Smartphone Life.B.Smartphones Enrich Our Social Life.C.Smoking Does Greater Harm Than Smartphones Do.D.Quitting Smartphones ls the New Quitting Smoking.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。

Olympic Park TourCIn modern society there is a great deal of argument about competition. Some value it highly, believing that it is responsible for social progress and prosperity. Others say that competition is bad; that it sets one person against another; that it leads to unfriendly relationship between people.I have taught many children who held the belief that their selfworth relied on how well they performed at tennis and other skills. For them, playing well and winning are often life-and-death affairs. In their single-minded pursuit of success, the development of many other human qualities is sadly forgotten.However, while some seem to be lost in the desire to succeed, others take an opposite attitude. In a culture which values only the winner and pays no attention to the ordinary players, they strongly blameparents or society. Teaching these young people, I often observe in them a desire to fail. They seem to seek failure by not trying to win or achieve success. By not trying, they always have an excuse: “I may have lost, but it doesn't matter because I really didn't try.” What is not usually admitted by themselves is the belief that if they had really tried and lost, that would mean a lot. Such a loss would be a measure of their worth. Clearly, this belief is the same as that of the true competitors who try to prove themselves. Both are based on the mistaken belief that one's selfrespect relies on how well one performs in comparison with others. Both are afraid of not being valued. Only as this basic and often troublesome fear begins to dissolve can we discover a new meaning in competition.29. What does this passage mainly talk about?A.
