However, they are expecting different things. Some students want to make use of that period of time hanging out with their classmates. They enjoy fun by chatting, playing games, or doing some outdoor activities. Others want to spend the break reading, doing homework, or reviewing lessons. In a word, nowadays, school breaks could be either “academic” or “physical”, which is a very interesting phenomenon.As a high school student, I favor the “physical” way of break. I find it very hard when I have too much work to finish, though. I have to deal with my homework during the break.I don’t deny some students are really book worms, absorbing knowledge every minute. However, I dare say the majority of us students know what we really want and what we really need to do. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. We are struggling for a balance between work and play. (164 words)书面表达评分建议一、评分原则1.本题总分为25分,按5个档次给分。

Similarly, early risers have no special biological advantage: recent research has upset the long-held belief that morning people are healthier than late risers. What research has not disproved, however, is that morning people tend to get more done.The productivity expert Laura Vanderkam argues that people should consider switching heir schedule not because it's necessarily better but because it's practical."People find morning hours useful because it's time you have to yourself before everybody else wants a piece of you," Vanderkam says. Waking up earlier to work out, make headway on a creative project or enjoy a stress-free cup of coffee (without a smartphone in your hand) can help make it easier to accomplish more without sacrificing time for yourself.Here, some advice from the expert on how to pull it off.FIGHT SLEEP INERTIA(惯性)When you wake up in the middle of the night, a physiological state called sleep inertia helps you fall back asleep. But that same state is responsible for your morning sleepiness. To get your body going, Vanderkam recommends doing some stretches, drinking some water or taking a shower night after your alarm goes off.MIND YOUR EXPOSUREMorning light exposure can help adjust your internal clock and regulate your levels of the sleep hormone melatonin(褪黑激素), making you less out of it when you rise. "Getting morning light immediately sends your body a wake-up signal," says Vanderkam.REWARD YOURSELFHumans do not naturally avoid punishment, so if your morning routine feels like one, it's time to change how you start your day. Instead of warring with the snooze button, motivate yourself with a reward. Vanderkam suggests you treat yourself to something—a fried egg, a fancy coffee—that will get you moving.DO SOMETHING OTHER THAN WORKSome of the most successful larks Vanderkam has interviewed say they start the day doingsomething they truly enjoy. So instead of reading the news on your tablet, consider meeting a friend for a jog or writing in a journal. "It's a lot easier to get up and do something you want to do than something you don't," says Vanderkam.(1)According to Laura Vanderkam, morning people ______.A are healthier than late risersB are more efficient than late risersC have to share others' responsibilitiesD complete creative tasks on the smartphone(2)vanderkam advises early risers to ______ in the morning.A draw the curtain asideB turn to the tablet for newsC cook breakfast on their ownD fall back asleep in minutes18.The rate of deaths related to Alzheimer's (阿尔茨海默)disease jumped by 54.5 percent over 15 years, according to a new report from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).The disease currently affects an estimated 5.5 million people in the U.S. but that number is expected to rise dramatically in people over the age of 65 to 13.8 million in 2050. The researchers examined death certificate data from the National Vital Statistics System to reach their findings.Keith Fargo, director of the scientific program at the Alzheimer's Association, said that the study highlights the need for support and research into treatment of Alzheimer's disease. "It's the only cause of death in the top 10 that does not have a way to prevent it or stop it," Fargo told ABC News.CDC researchers did not study why there was an increase but reported the result of the phenomenon may be that more people were surviving to old age. They found from 1999 to 2005 the greatest increase in death rate related to Alzheimer's disease was in people over the age of 85.Fargo said he was discouraged to see in the report that 24.9 percent of people with Alzheimer's disease were dying at home rather than in a medical facility."Before you die people become completely bed bound," said Fargo. "It requires an intense level of caregiving to the end."Fargo said the fact that more people were dying at home indicated that people did not have the resources to get appropriate help at long-term care facilities like nursing homes. Fargo said providing that level of care can burden the caregivers both emotionally and physically. The CDC estimates caregivers provided 18.2 billion hours of unpaid care to dementia (痴呆) patients in 2015."The caregivers for Alzheimer's disease have $9 billion more in Medicare claims of their own," in addition to the claims of their loved ones Fargo said. Caregiving is "so stressful it causes a lot of physical suffering."The CDC researchers point out that increasing rates of Alzheimer's disease will mean more people need support to care and treat these patients."Until Alzheimer's can be prevented, slowed, or stopped, caregiving for persons with advanced Alzheimer's will remain a demanding task," the authors wrote. "An increasing number of Alzheimer's deaths coupled with an increasing number of patients dying at homesuggests that there is an increasing number of caregivers of persons with Alzheimer's. It is likely that these caregivers might benefit from interventions such as education, and case management that can reduce the potential burden of caregiving."(1)Which statement is TRUE according to the passage?A There exist ways to prevent or stop Alzheimer's disease.B Alzheimer's disease affects a total of 13.8 million Americans.C Not all Alzheimer's patients can afford to live in care facilities.D People under the age of 65 will not develop Alzheimer's disease.(2)What might have caused the increase in the number of Alzheimer's patients?A The ineffective treatment.B The limited medical facilities.C The growing aging population.D The lack of health care.(3)Which of the following can best describe the job of the caregivers for Alzheimer's disease?A Unskilled but worthwhile.B Tough and competitive.C Painstaking but well-paid.D Stressful and time-consuming.19.Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol is an absolute classic. And even if you don't want to write exactly like Dickens, there's something—a technique, an idea, a theme, etc.—that every writer can pull from Dickens' writing."Make them laugh, make them cry, make them wait," was Dickens's motto and his method. Unfortunately, the use of humor escapes many writers today, especially those who seek to write serious fiction. Dickens was a master of high humor-satire, puns, wordplay, and a curious method of characterizing that made fun of his own creations even as he fleshed them out with life.You can use the same techniques employed to such good effect by Dickens to add humor to your work. Try to exaggerate your characters a bit. Underline passages that strike you as particularly, funny. Then use a similar tone or approach when describing one of your own characters, especially people you wish to make fun of. This type of humor will not, it is important to stress, detract from the high tone or seriousness of your subject. Instead, it will add a much appreciated human element to otherwise serious writing.The second element of Dickens' famous motto focuses on his use of strong emotion. As Aristotle pointed out in his Poetics, emotional appeals are one of the chief devices of the lecturer and, by extension, of the novelist. Novels weren't invented back in Aristotle's time, but drama was, and he pointed to examples from the ancient Greek dramatists where arousing the audience's pity and fear was planned in advance by the dramatist. In a similar way, a novelist can learn from Dickens how to make readers feel strong emotions.We may find it harder to cry, but Dickens was a master of situations that bring on the sympathy needed to cause reader emotion. The very memorable death of Nell in The Old Curiosity Shop (1841) had greatly moved American readers. In composing that scene, he went back in his mind to the great pain he had suffered when he watched helplessly as seventeen-year-old Mary Hogarth, his sister-in-law, died in his arms some years earlier. Themessage is clear: to create emotion you must feel emotion.In a wonderful little book, Charles Dickens as Serial Novelist (1967), Archibald C. Coolidge Jr. says the serial(连载小说)form of publication put certain pressures on Dickens that forced him to solve a typical novelists problems (such as how to maintain readers' interest) in strikingly bold ways. One of his most important techniques and one which is often overlooked by writers who prefer literary fiction is the use of an element of mystery and suspense. Dickens called it his mystery story technique. An example of the mystery that runs through Bleak House (1853) is the identity of Esther's mother. By the time the truth is revealed, the reader is worked up to great interest.To provide a mystery in your mainstream novel, you might choose some aspect of the story that can be concealed from the reader. Then do not reveal too much ... only tell as much as is needed. You can use the same Dickensian mystery story technique in your own work. You can even lead readers in the wrong direction, provided one of the characters reasonably believes the wrong thing, as Pip does when he suspects that his benefactor (捐助者)is Miss Havisham. Sometimes, the less you tell, the more readers love it. So, by all means, make them wait.(1)The underlined phrase "detract from" in Paragraph 3 means "______".A make fun ofB lay emphasis onC reduce the level ofD adopt the technique of(2)Aristotle's idea is mentioned in Paragraph 4 to ______.A explain the similarities between novels and dramasB show ancient Greek dramatists' ability to use strong emotionC display Charles Dickens' talent to use strong emotion in his worksD emphasize the necessity of using strong emotion in writing novels(3)What is the purpose of using Dickensian mystery story technique?A To mislead the target readers.B To portray the main characters.C To maintain readers' interest.D To reveal important information.(4)What is the best title of the passage?A Write Just Like Charles DickensB Analyze Charles Dickens'Personalities C Highlights of Charles Dickens' Works D Introduction to Charles Dickens' Writing Techniques20.Kathie, I remember the first day that 1 met you. I remember the look on your face as you rushed out from your dorm and slammed directly into me. You knocked me over, both metaphorically (比喻地) and physically. You were dressed in a sports bra and tight little shorts and I was suddenly feeling a little bitter that I was picking your roommate up for dinner and not you.No, it can't start that way.Who starts a speech with a memory about what bra someone was wearing? How about this?I remember staring at the projector image of stars in Astronomy and thinking only of your eyes. I only signed up for Astronomy because you said were taking it. You hadn't said it to me,of course, but to one of your girlfriends. I was behind you in the sandwich line at the student center and l heard you ask that redhead girl—Jessica Randolph, I think her name was. Well, it's Johnson, now; she's married with a baby on the way. I heard you ask Jessica if she thought the professor would talk about the possibility of aliens. That was all it took. I signed up for Astronomy almost immediately.That sounds like I'm a huge stalker (跟踪狂). I won't share that story. No one wants to hear about aliens and about the stars in your eyes. No one wants to hear about Jessica Johnson. Jessica and her husband will be there today. She'll cry. I'm certain that she'll cry. A lot of people will, I'd assume.Will I?I can't think about that. I don't want to mess things up in front of everyone. All of our family and friends will be t here, watching, and I’ve never been good at public speaking.I remember sitting next to you on the couch while I waited for your roommate to get ready for dinner. She took so long to do her hair and makeup. It was intentional, I think. She thought it was classy to make me wait. You never did.Anyway, I was waiting for your roommate to be ready for our date. All I wanted to do was put my hand over yours as you changed the channels. Something funny would happen on the television and you'd laugh so hard you'd snort. I loved you even then, I think.I can't talk about that. People will think Tm a cheater. I never cheated. I was set up with your roommate on a blind date. It was you, you, always you from the moment I saw you until today.I broke up with her that night, I remember. We never even made it out of the parking lot. I don't know what made me do it, I just knew that whenever I closed my eyes I couldn't picture anything but your face.Today is so important, so critical. I can't mess up. Not when you'll be there, so peaceful and lovely.Another, then.What about the day I proposed? I had planned it out so carefully and nothing went right. The fower order was wrong. I burned my new shirt with the iron. The sweater I had ordered for your stupid dog--the one that read, "will you marry my daddy?" —arrived in the mail just that morning and was two sizes too small. I squeezed him into it anyway, and it somehow made his already giant head look even bigger. Maybe that's why you couldn't stop laughing when you saw him. You were laughing—loudly—your dress half on and your nails half painted. I had come to get you for our date too early. I couldn't help it. I was sweating through my burnt shirt and holding wilted flowers, kneeling like a fool. You didn't say yes or no, but the stars in your eyes were confirmation enough.I can share that. I've shared it a hundred times before. Everyone wanted to know the engagement story, which led us to the altar (圣坛).The altar.I stood up there and stammered (口吃)through the speech I had prepared for you—through the promise I had written for you. It was nowhere near as hard as this. My vows (誓言), then, included that eternal drivel, for better or for worse. Till death do us part.How was I to know?How was I to know there was another speech to write, another vow to make?What story do I share, standing before our friends and family—before you? What goodbyecan I give that honors your memory? I am selfish with my memories of you. I don't want to share them.You are among the stars, now—scattered among the universe that first led me to you.

It impacts our entire life: our jobs, our relationships, our own feelings about ourselves and the actions we take. It can move us forward and allow us to feel good about what we do. It sets an example for our children and it influences the people around us. W. Clement Stone's quote is a perfect example of honesty. "Have the courage to say no. Have the courage to face the truth. Do the right thing because it is right." These are the magic keys to living your life with integrity (正直).Have the Courage to Say NoSaying "no" can be a difficult thing to do at times. When a good friend or a family member forces us to do something that we know is dishonest, it takes courage to say no. You will find people will make fun of you saying, what is the big deal, or, no one will know. You need to have self-respect to stand for what you believe is the right thing to do. In the long run you will be glad you did!Have the Courage to Face the TruthSometimes the truth hurts and we want to deny it or not believe it. But, we have a responsibility to face it and accept it. There are those who would prefer to take the easy way out and just ignore it. And sometimes by accepting the truth we find it difficult but by doing this we are showing integrity.Do the Right Thing Because It Is RightWe all know in our hearts what the right thing to do is. But again sometimes it is peer pressure, or the easy way out that can be tempting to not do the right thing.Honesty in ActionI saw honesty in action when I was in a Wal-Mart store. There was a teenage girl ahead of me. She paid for her items and left. As the cashier was ringing in my items, the teenage girl came to return the extra $5 the cashier had mistakenly given to her. The cashier was shocked that the teenager returned it. She thanked the teenager for her honesty. Once the teenager left, the cashier said to me, "That is a rare occurrence." It made me smile to be a witness to such honesty. This was a true example of "doing the right thing".Another story involved an individual who left a firm that engaged in questionable practices. He was selling advertising space, however, the magazine was not being published on a regular basis. But he was expected to sell the advertising as if the magazine was published weekly. Although, he needed the money to support his family, he was unwilling to work for a firm that had questionable practices so he resigned.In both of these examples, the people could have chosen a different action, but their own values allowed them to make a choice that they could be proud of! The direction of our lives comes down to the choices we make. Honesty is not only doing the right thing; it is living with yourself with the choices you make.五、书面表达22.Chinese student praised for inspiring US graduation speechReceiving her Master of Science in Math Finance from Boston University, Cai Yujing, who comes from Nanjing city east China's Jiangsu Province, spoke about her hometown and family members present at the ceremony, and then shared her 6—year experience studying with students from different cultural backgrounds.In her 7-minute speech, Cai talked about how she adapted to the diverse community at the Questrom School of Business and established mutual understanding with fellow students.

The answer is rather heart-warming. New research out today from Lotto New Zealand reveals three-quarters of Powerball winners think of sharing (21) ______ spending.One lucky Powerball winner from Tauranga was even thinking of others before his numbers came up. “A week before I won Lotto, I saw an ambulance (22) ______ side bore the name of the donor, and I thought, …if I ever win Lotto, that‟s what I will do‟ and then 10 days‟ later I won,” he said. Having won $5.5 million dollars, he‟s now spending a part of the money on two ambulances for his local hospital. “They‟re going to say …(23) ______ (donate) by a Lotto winner‟ on the side. I hope that it will inspire others to pay it forward if they ever find (24) ______ in a fortunate position like I have.”“My life (25) ______ (save) many years ago by a St John ambulance and it‟s a marvellous feeling repaying back that kindn ess.” It was this kind of behaviour (26) ______ led to Lotto NZ‟s inspiring true story of a Kiwi man who won $15 million and, honouring a promise made long ago, went halves with his mate.2017 was the (27) ______ (lucky) year on record for Powerball winn ers. “Last year, there were 19 different Powerball winners — (28) ______ most of them had in common was the desire to share their good fortune.” said Emilia Mazur, General Manager Corporate Communications.“Another Tauranga man won $10 million with Powerba ll in July and once he got over the shock of winning, his first thought was his community and he has since shared some of his winnings to upgrade its facilities.”Group players are natural sharers — not only (29) ______ they share the winnings among themselves but they also then want to help out others.“Everyone is just so happy, it‟s created an amazing sense of freedom.” said one of the group leaders Tina. “For me personally, (30) ______ (know) how much of a significant difference you have made to your f amily and your circle of friends, I have a feeling that I have never experienced.

So beautiful, in fact, that photos of it shared on social media may make people feel depress ed that they can‟t visit, so local authorities banned tourists from taking photos.It may sound like a joke, but it‟s actually a new law adopted by the Bergün village council and __31__ by its mayor. To discourage visitors from taking photos in Bergün, they plan to __32__ a symbolic €5 fine for those caught breaking the new rules.According to a statement by the Bergün tourism authority, “It is scientifically proven that beautiful holiday photos on social media make the viewers unhappy because they cannot be there themselves.”However, it seems unlikely that Bergün‟s new law was really thought of as a way to __33__ Facebook or Instagram users of the depressing experience of seeing the beauty of the village. As the news went __34__ online, many assumed that it was actually a clever marketing __35__, a theory that was at least partially confirmed by the village‟s director of tourism, Marc-Andrea Barandun.“In the background of course the idea is that everyone is talking about Bergün,” he told The Local. “So it‟s a combination of both —we made the law and also there‟s some marketing aim behind it.”To show that they were serious about the law, Bergün authorities __36__ photos of the village from its Facebook and Twitter accounts, and declared their intention to delete them from the Bergün website too.If the new law was just a __37__ strategy, it actually worked wonders, as people started __38__ more photos of the beautiful mountain village soon after news of the photo ban started making news headlines.A few days ago, Mayor Nicolay __39__ the debatable photo ban in a video, where he offered people visiting Bergün a special __40__ to take photos. He reminded them to think twice before sharing thepictures online, though, as they could be making their friends depressed.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.A cliché is a phrase that has been used so many times that it comes out of the mouth or the computer without stirring up a wave in the mind of the speaker, the typist, the listener or the reader. The word was part of the technical term of the French printing trade in the 19th century, the name for a plate used in the printing process, and it is still used with that meaning in English and other languages. By the middle of the same century, the word was being used in French, shortly followed by English, as a simile (比喻) for __41__ used expressions.Clichés can be __42__ according to whether they were originally idioms, similes and proverbs, expressions from trades or __43__ phrases.Many idioms have been so universally overused that they have been __44__ — phrases like far and wide, by leaps and bounds or safe and sound. Our second category could be similes and proverbs that now fall off the __45__ with little meaning, similes like as cool as a cucumber, which __46__ around 400 years.A large category is __47__ from the terms of trades and professions, sports and games, and other national concerns. Many are __48__ clichés, as is fitting for the British, as an island nation, with examples like to leave a sinking ship, to know the ropes,to stick to one’s guns.Our last broad category of cliché might be phrases which were __49__ when they were first coined, but have become ineffective through constant use. When a football manager, asked how he felt about the __50__ of his team, said that he was as sick as a parrot. Since then, it has been so overused that it has lost its __51__. To explore every avenue and to leave no stone unturned are two political clichés of this class. No politician with any sensitivity for language could use either of those phrases __52__, yet you hear them still, all the time.No doubt we could specify the classes of clichés into further subdivisions until the cows come home. But there is no need to. We all agree that clichés are to be __53__ by careful writers and speakers at all times, don‟t we? Well, a ctually, no, not I. Life, and language, are so full of clichés that silence will hold the position if you __54__ us the use of cliché. So many millions of people have spoken and written clichés so __55__ that it is almost impossible to find ideas and phrases that have not been used many times before.41. A. occasionally B. frequently C. technically D. grammatically42. A. confirmed B. quoted C. inferred D. classified43. A. invented B. customized C. recognized D. underlined44.

A. remote B. temperate C. urban D. oceanic49. A. boring B. striking C. entertaining D. annoying50. A. expense B. punishment C. defeat D. age51. A. origin B. shine C. statue D. humour52. A. seriously B. fluently C. flexibly D. properly53. A. adjusted B. adapted C. adopted D. avoided54. A. deny B. allow C. forbid D. promise55. A. casually B. decently C. reluctantly D. ceaselesslySection BDirections:Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Free to SoarOne windy spring day, I observed young people having fun using the wind to fly their kites. Multicolored creations of varying shapes and sizes filled the skies like beautiful birds racing and dancing. As the strong winds blew against the kites, a string kept them in check.Instead of blowing away with the wind, they arose against it to achieve great heights. They shook and pulled, but the string and the tail kept them attached, facing upward and against the wind. The kites struggled and kept being dragged behind, facing upward and against the wind. As the kites struggled and tremb led against the string, they seemed to say, “Let me go! Let me go! I want to be free!” They soared beautifully even as they fought the restriction of the string. Finally, one of the kites succeeded in breaking loose. “Free at last,” it seemed to say. “Free to fly with the wind.”Yet freedom from restriction simply put it at the mercy of a cruel breeze. It flew ungracefully to the ground and landed in a messed mass of weeds and string against a dead bush. “Free at last”, free to lie powerless in the dirt, to be blown helplessly along the ground, and to stop lifeless against the first obstruction.How much like kites we sometimes are. The heaven gives us misfortune and limitations, rules to follow from which we can grow and gain strength. Restriction is a necessary companion to the winds of opposition. Some of us resist the rules so hard that we never soar to reach the heights we might have obtained. We keep part of the order and never rise high enough to get our tails off the ground.Let us each rise to the great heights, recognizing that some of the restrictions that we may be annoyed at are actually the steadying force that helps us improve and achieve.56. According to paragraph 2, “Let me go!” is said by _______.A. the kiteB. the windC. the birdD. the flyer57. Which of the following words has the meaning closest to the underlined word “obstruction” in paragraph 3?A. destructionB. miracleC. observationD. obstacle58. According to the writer, in what way is man similar to kites?A. Man will never reach the desirable height unless he breaks some rules.B. Man can be empowered by difficulties to go further and higher.C. Man desires freedom but only a few will succeed.D. Man is limited by his surroundings.59. By telling the story of kite flying, the writer wants to share the lesson that _______. A. rules are made to be brokenB. flying a kite involves skills and patienceC. sometimes difficulties can be potential blessingsD . it‟s no use complaining about the difficulties we encounter(B)Products ▼Tel:(855)776-7763 Get a DemoLoginSign Up FreeProProfsKnowledgebaseTourPricingSolutionsIntegrationsBlogClientsExamplesHelpKnowledge Base Software That Answers Questions InstantlyCreate help sites, knowledge bases, user guides, manuals, wikis & moreGet, share & apply knowledge Offer awesome support 24/7With a self-service online knowledge base, customers can find instant answers to their questions.

With high blood pressure a major risk factor for chronic (慢性的)and particularly heart diseases, researchers at the University of Hong Kong and Oxford University said the findings demonstrated the need to take notice of the health-influencing factor in urban design.“With the increasing pace of urbanization and demographic shifts towards an ageing population, we become more likely to suffer from chronic diseases,” said Dr. Chinmoy Sarkar, an assistant professor at the Healthy High Density Cities Lab of th e University of Hong Kong and lead author of the study. “The action taken to improve public health must consider the invisible value of urban planning and design.“We are spending billions of pounds in preventing and curing heart diseases — if we are able to invest in creating healthy cities through small changes in the design of our neighborhoods to make them more activity-friendly and walkable, then probably, we will have significant savings in future healthcare expenses.”To measure a neighborhood‟s activity-promoting potential, researchers developed a set of index of walkability containing relevant urban elements, including residential and retail(零售) density, public transport, street-level movement, and distance to attractive destinations.Poorly designed spaces generally reduced walking and physical activity, promoting the lifestyles of long time sitting down and not moving; and were harmful to social interactions, and as such associated with poorer mental and physical health.Because walkability was “based on the underlying design of the city”, said Sarkar, cities could be modified or designed to encourage it. “Such investments in healthy design are likely to bring in long-term gains as they are enduring and common.”63. By considering “invisible value of urban design”, people can _______.A. reduce the ageing populationB. slow down the pace of urbanizationC. promote activity-friendly and walkable citiesD. invest in preventing and curing heart diseases64. What can be inferred from the passage?A. A set of index is essential to ensure that urban design promotes walkability.B.Walkable cities can lower blood pressure and the risk of high blood pressure.C. Chronic diseases are becoming common due to people‟s neglect of their health.D. Middle-aged women living in poor areas are less likely to benefit from increased walkability.65.All of the following are the undesirable consequences of poorly-designed neighborhoodsEXCEPT_______.A. failing healthB. unhealthy lifestyleC. fewer social interactionsD. fewer neighborhoods66. According to Dr. Chinmoy Sarkar, _______.A. cities should encourage the residents to engage in social interactionsB. the design of our neighborhoods should meet people‟s needs for ret ail densityC. money invested in creating healthy cities is money saved in future healthcare expensesD. chronic diseases will be common because of our lifestyle and the physical environmentSection CDirections: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.Make traditional treasures come aliveThe Palace Museum Director Shan Jixiang delivered a cultural heritage speech on Feb 27 in Beijing, which was co-organized by the Beijing Diplomatic Service Bureau and Beijing Housing Service Corporation for Diplomatic Missions. 67On the theme The World of the Palace Museum and the Palace Museum of the World, the 64-year-old director shared his ideas about how to make traditional treasures come alive again.During the speech, which lasted two and a half hours, Shan touched on topics including upgrading museum infrastructure(基础设施), restoring cultural sites, digitalizing online museums, setting up restoration hospitals, providing better visitor experiences and promoti ng the Palace Museum‟s cultural items.“The abundant collection of cultural objects at the Palace Museum is the inspiration for the creative souvenirs and cultural items available,” Shan said. “68 ”Throughout 2017, the total sales of Palace Museum‟s cultural items have been more than 1 billion yuan ($158million). Explaining the huge success of Palace Museum‟s cultural souvenirs, Shan said: “The museum opened a shop on the e-commerce website Taobao in 2008, but sales remained neither high nor low for years, as more than 80 percent of the souvenirs sold in stores in the past were not related to our museum.”“Therefore, I wanted to change the situation. Now, souvenirs from the Palace Museum cover almost every aspect of life. After all, what matters to a museum is not how many visitors they have, but how close they are to people‟s daily lives.”69 A round 200 “doctors” are employed to analyze, examine, detect flaws or damage in ancient objects and restore them using more than 100 pieces of specialized equipment, including 3-D printers and scanners.The restoration hospital covers 13,000 square meters and boasts the nation‟s most advanced restoration workshops.John Aquilina, Malta‟s ambassador to China said that Shan‟s speech show ed a totally different PalaceMuseum to foreign people.“China enjoys a long and profound culture and many of the national treasures have been preserved at the Palace Museum. It is no easy task to preserve them well. 70 ”IV. Summary WritingDirections:Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.Ban the Bag!Standing in line at the grocery store last week, I watched the woman in front of me buy a tube of toothpaste. As the clerk placed her purchase in a plastic bag, I couldn‟t help wondering how long it would take for that bag to end up in the trash. Then I noticed the big purse the woman was carrying and wondered why she had needed a plastic bag at all.People have come to rely on plastic bags as everything from shopping bags for groceries to trash-can bags. Although plastic bags can be recycled, only about one percent of those used in the United States are. Instead, after helping people transport items from one place to another, most are thrown away. They end up in landfills, where it can take a plastic bag up to a thousand years to decay. Some bags end up elsewhere in the environment, sticking to trees and fences, blocking rivers and oceans, or floating along city sidewalks.Plastic bags harm the environment in several ways. First, they break down into particles that pollute our soil and water. Because most plastic bags are made of polyethylene, a product derived from crude oil (原油) or natural gas, they waste nonrenewable resources. Plastic bags can also harm animals. Scientists estimate that more than one million sea animals, including whales, seabirds, and turtles, die each year from intaking or becoming stranded in plastic.People all over the world are starting to recognize the problems associated with plastic bags. Countries such as China, South Africa, Switzerland, and Uganda are taking action and banning the bags. Other nations, including Italy and Ireland, have been trying to restrict the use of plastic bags by taxing them. In the United States more and more communities are ridding themselves of plastic bags. Now more and more people are also purchasing inexpensive, reusable bags and using them when they shop. If we all take this simple step, we can be a part of a “green” revolution.V.

The Navy ship USS Ashland rescued them about l,450 kilometers southeast of Ja-pan. Appel and Fuiava left Honolulu on May 3 sailing Appel’s 15-meter boat, the Sea Nymph. They had planned for an 18-day trip to Tahiti. However, storms flooded the engine, destroyed the boat’s starter and severely damaged the mast( 桅杆). The women could not use the sails effectively, as a result. They tried to return to Hawaii. In June, they got within 1,345 kilometers of Oahu. ‘We knew we weren’t going to make it , Apple said. “So that’s when we started making distress calls( 求救呼叫). We were hoping that one of our friends who like to go deep sea fishing and taking people out might have gone past the 400-mile mark and might have cruised (巡航)near where we would be. ”Jenifer Appel, right, and Tasha Fuiava sat with their dogs on the deck of the USS Ash-land Monday, Oct. 30, 2017. They were thousands of miles in the wrong direction when a Taiwanese fishing boat found them.

Men and women everywhere wish they could be more positive , self-assured and secure. Confident people make it all look so easy. There is something magnetic(磁性的) and enviable about their unshakable sense of self.Many mistakenly believe that these confident people are somehow special and unique ;that they have abilities that t he rest of the world don’t. The truth about confidence is that it’s an acquired skill. Very few people are born with it , and even fewer remain confident through the painful process of adolescence and entering adulthood. And I’m here to tell you, confident people don’t have a special gene that makes them confident. They’re not the X-men of the self-respect world.Many people try to fake confidence, and to those who are truly confident, they are easy to spot. This is not true confidence. Dependence on outside approval is not confidence.Here is what true confidence looks like :Independent from outside approval. Confident people are not afraid of criticism. They know that they can’t please everyone, and they don’t waste their time trying. Confident people never seek outside approval. They have respect for others and are always willing to listen and learn ;however, the main guiding force in their lives will always be their own internal compass.True confidence isn’t easy. It has to be learned , and earned , of ten through years of doubt, questioning, and mistakes. But the best things in life are rarely easy to obtain and few are worth the effort as much as confidence. Today , I’m inviting you to open yourself up to true confidence , and to the amazing gifts itbrings with it. The choice to become a truly confident person may just be the most important one you’ve ever made.28. What is unique for confident people?A. They are born confident.B. They have special abilities.C.

But some parents , such as businessman Mark Cuban, will not let their children play the sport because of concern about brain injuries.A recent study seems to support some of these concerns. It gives more evidence that too muchAmerican football is seriously damaging the brains of players. The Brain Bank study suggests link between sport and brain injury. Scientists at the Brain Bank are studying a kind of brain injury known as Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (or CTE), which is caused by collisions that push the brain around inside the skull.In a recent study, the scientists at the Brain Bank found high levels of CTE in dead foot-ball players. The scientists studied the brains of 202 former players. These athletes, who had donated their brains for research, played at high school, college or professional levels. The scientists found CTE in 177 of the 202 brains. Many of those found to have CTE suffered from behavioral or mood problems during their lifetimes.Amy McKee is one of the lead researchers at the Brain Bank. She said CTE can affect even the brains of young people. McKee says helmets can give some protection from CTE. But, she explains that the risks are still great. “Helmets will never be the solution for CTE... They may make it less likely, but it is always going to be a risk once you have head contact, she said. McKee and her team are now looking for ways to diagnose CTE before a player dies. They are also looking for drugs that might treat it.32.
