"I will go next Tuesday," I promised, a little unwillingly, on her third call.The next Tuesday dawned cold and rainy. Still, I had promised, and so I drove there. When I finally walkedinto Carolyn's house and hugged and greeted my grandchildren, I said, "Forget the daffodils, Carolyn! The road isinvisible (看不见的) in the cloud and fog, and there is nothing in the world except you and these children that I want to see!"My daughter smiled calmly and said, "We drive in this weather all the time, Mum. You will never forgiveyourself if you miss this experience."After about twenty minutes, we turned onto a small roadand I saw a small church. On the far side of the church, I saw a hand-lettered sign that read "Daffodil Garden"? We got out of the car and each took a child's hand, and I followed Carolyn down the path. Then, weturned a comer of the path, and I looked up amazed . Before me lay the most beautiful sight . F lows of flowers of different colors seemed poured down the peak and slopes. There were five acres of flowers! A seas of daffodil! I t was like a fairyland all beyond description."But who has done this?" I asked Carolyn. "It's just one woman," Carolyn answered.

J ust planting one bulb at a time, year after year, had changed the world where she lived and created something of magnificence, beauty, and inspiration.W hen we multiply tiny pieces of time with small amounts of daily effort, we too can accomplish great things.

LONDON(AP)---A suburban house that starred onscreen as Harry Potter ’ s childhood home is on the market---complete with a cupboard under the stairs.F ans of the boy wizard will recognize 12 P i cket Post Close as 4 Privet Drive, h ome of Harry ’ s cruel aunt and uncle, the Dursleys.T he couple unwillingly took Harry in after his parentswere murdered and made him sleep in a cupboard under the stairs.T he house in Bracknell, 30 miles(50 kilometers)west of London, was a location featured in the 2001 film “ Harry Potter and the Philosopher ’ s Stone. ” A studio set ofthe house was built for later films of the eight series.R eal estate agency Chancellors(房地产公司总代理)says the three-bedroom house has recently been made over to an extremely high standard. ” I t ’ s listed at a price of 475,000 pounds$616,000.) ” Real estate agent Paul Bosanko said, “ the original plan was to take this property to market without using any reference to Harry Potter. B ut since news ofthe connection got out, interest has shot up, and that may or may not influence the final price that we achieve at this property, ” Bosanko said.N eighbor Karen Field said that the house still attracts Potter fans adecade-and-a-half after the film crews left. W hen the movie first came out, “ there were tour buses, literally tour buses coming down the road, ” Field said. “ It ’ s a lot quieter now, ” she said. “ School holidays, youstill get people coming along. ”1. What is the news mainly about?A. 12 Picket Post C l ose in Bracknell for saleB. Harry Potter ’ s s childhood homeC. V i sits to Harry Potter ’ s homeD. Films of Harry Potter at 4 Privet Drive2.What happened to the suburban house west of London?A. Harry Potter lived in it in his childhoodB. Harry Potter series were all filmed hereC. It was modeled on as a studio set laterD. It was sold at a price of 475,000 pounds3.What is not true with the house?A. It is now on the marketB. It belongs to the DursleysC. It was related to Harry PotterD. Potter fans keep coming to it3. B ad news sells. I f it bleeds, it leads. N o news is good news, and good news is no news. T hose are theclassic rules for the evening broadcasts and the morning papers. B ut now that information is being spread and monitored(监控)in different ways, researchers are discovering new rules. By tracking people’s e-mails and online posts,scientists have found that good news can spread faster and farther than disasters and sob stories.“The ‘if it bleeds’ rule works for mass media,” says Jonah Berger, a scholar at the University of Pennsylvania. “They want your eyeballs and don’t care how you’refeeling. But when you share a story with your friends, you care a lot more how they react. You don’t want them to think of you as a Debbie Downer.”Researchers analyzing word-of-mouth communication—e-mails, Webposts and reviews, face-to-face conversations—found that it tended to be more positive than negative(消极的), but that didn’t necessarily mean people preferred positive news. Was positive news shared more often simply because people experienced more good things than bad things? To test for that possibility, Dr. Berger looked at how people spread a particular set of news stories: thousands of articles on The New York Times’ website. He and a Penn colleague analyzed the “most e-mailed” list for six months. One of hisfirst findings was that articles in the science section were much more likely to make the list than non-science articles. He found that science amazed Times’ readers and made them want to share this positive feeling with others.Readers also tended to share articles that were excitingor funny, or that inspired negative feelings like anger or anxiety, but not articles that left them merely sad. Theyneeded to be aroused(激发) one way or the other, and they preferred good news to bad. The more positive an article,the more likely it was to be shared, as Dr. Bergerexplains in his new book, “Contagious: Why Things Catch On.”1. What do the classic rules mentioned in the text applyto?A. News reports.B. Research papers.C .Private e-mails.D. Daily conversations.2. What can we infer about people like Debbie Downer?A. They’re socially inactive.B. They’r e good at telling stories.C. They’re inconsiderate of others.D. They’re careful with their words.3. Which tended to be the most e-mailed according to Dr. Berger’s research?A. Sports new.B. Science articles.C. Personal accounts.D. Financial reviews.4. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Sad Stories Travel Far and WideB. Online News Attracts More PeopleC. Reading Habits Change with the TimesD. Good News Beats Bad on Social Networks4. W henever we see a button, we are eager to press it because we know something will happen. T his is true in most cases, for example on a doorbell and on the “ on/off ” button on the TV. B ut some buttons are actuallyfake, like the “ close ” button on a lift.Many people are in the habit of pressing the “close”button because they don’t have the patience to wait forthe lift doors to shut. But lifts’ “close” buttons area complete scam (骗局), at least in the US - the doors will not close any faster no matter how hard you press.It started in the 1990s when the Americans withDisabilities Act was passed in the US, making sure thatall lifts stayed open long enough so that people withdisabilities could enter. Only US firefighters and repairmencan use the buttons to speed up the door-closing processif they have a code or special keys.But to normal lift riders, the buttons aren’t completely useless. According to psychologists, fake buttons can actually make you feel better by offering you a sense of control. “Perceived (能够感知的) control is very important. It reduces stress and increases well-being,” Ellen J. Langer, a psychology professor, said, “ having a lack of control is associated with depression.”Experts have revealed that a lot of buttons that don’tdo anything exist in our lives for this same purpose . For example, many offices in the US have fake thermostats (温度调节器) because people tend to feel better when they think they can control the temperature in their workspace.But psychologists found it interesting that even when people are aware of these little “white lies”, they stillcontinue to push fake buttons because as long as the doors eventually close, it is considered to be worth the effort. “That habit is here to stay,” John Kounios, a psychology professor, said. “Even though I have real doubts about the traffic light buttons, I alwayspress them. After all, I’ve got nothing else to do while waiting. So why not press the button in the hope that this one will work?”1. What was the author’s main purpose in writing the article?A . To analyze the functions of fake buttons.B . To describe some different kinds of fake buttons.C . To explain the advantages and disadvantages of fake buttons.D . To explore people’s different habits when it comes to pushing buttons.2. In America, the “close” buttons on lifts _______.A. are fake for the convenience of disabled peopleB. work only when people press them hard for a whileC. were specially designed to give people a sense ofcontrolD. cannot speed up the process of closing the door in any case3. The underlined part “for this same purpose” in Paragraph 6 refers to _______.A. making people more patientB. giving people perceived controlC. helping people to build up confidenceD. making people with depression feel better4. According to John Kounios, people who press fake buttons ______.A. should give up this habitB. probably do so to kill timeC. consider what they do to be meaninglessD. don’t know that what they press is fake二、七选五5. 第二节根据短文内容,从短文后选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

AAlex Elman runs a big business — something difficult to imagine after she lost her sight in her twenties. But Elman says that losing her sight helped her focus on finding success.Elman’s father planted a hillside vineyard in western Massachusetts in 1981. It’s where Elman fled during the darkest period of her life. When she was 27 years old, she went blind due to complications from juvenile diabetes (糖尿病) 17 years ago. She recalled, “I hid in my home. I hid in the place. For me, that was the safest place in the world.”Elman is now the founder of Alex Elman Wines, a growing portfolio (系列产品) of organic wines from all around the world: Chianti from Italy, Torrontes from Argentina. Elman doesn’t work alone. Her assistant, a guide dog named Hanley, is something of a wine snob, and quite a beggar. Hanley travels to all of the wineries that Elman does, from South America to Europe.At first, Elman resisted the idea of a guide-dog. Now it’s hard to imagine her life, or her business, without him.She said. “When someone tells me something is organic and I don’t really believe it because I taste something funny on it, I’ll put it in front of his face and if he likes the wine, he’ll go to sniff it. If it’s not right, he’ll turn his head away. He gets in the dirt with me. He scratches around. He makes sure that we see earthworms and butterflies. That’s how we know that the soil is actually organic, and that there are no chemicals.”Elman told CBS News sh e believes the loss of her vision was a gift. She said, “It allowed me to pay attention to what I thought was important and also to be able to teach people that the broken hang nail is not a big deal, you know what I mean? Don’t sweat the small stuff. Don’t sweat the big stuff either.”1. Elman hid herself in her father’s vineyard probably because she ________.A. suffered from juvenile diabetesB. was extremely painful for her blindnessC. would like to help her father with the workD. expected to recover her sight sooner or later2.

Alex Elman gets along well with her petD. a blind woman tastes success in wine businessBRegardless of how far we’d like to believe gender(性别)equality in the workplace has come, there’s still a yawning gap between male and female leaders in the professional world. A 2018 statistic shows that women nowadays hold just 5.8 percent of CEOs positions at S&P 500 companies, according to Catalyst.While it’s not a huge shock that women are somewhat underrepresented in leadership positions, what is surprising though, is the fact that females may actually be better suited to lead in almost every area, at least according to new findings from the BI Norwegian Business School.In their research, Professor Oyvind L. Martinsen and Professor Lars Glas surveyed (调查) 2,900 managers with a special focus on personality types. The results were clear: Women scored higher than men in four of the five major leadership-centric categories.While some people believe that men inherently make better leaders — probably because they picture a leader with a commanding voice, which is more typical of men than women — this piece of research suggests that women are better at methodical management and goal-setting, openness, sociability and supportiveness, as well as ability to communicate clearly.There was one area in which men scored higher than women, though, and that was on emotional stability and ability to face job-related pressure and stress. The results suggest that women are more sensitive to the effects of high-pressure or highly emotional situations.Obviously, it’s important to consider individual (个人的) differences. Anyone, regardless of gender, may be an inspiring leader and a competent boss. But next time you’re hiring for a management position, you just might want to give the resumes (简历) from female candidates a harder look.4. What makes us shocked much at leadership positions?A.

Her mother, Jovan, knew how important breastfeeding was, especially for a premature (早产的) baby like Ariyah, so she began pumping milk to feed her through a tube. But two days later, Jovan felt dizzy and feverish — 104 Fahrenheit degrees, in fact. She had a blood disease and was close to full shock.She was separated from others f or nearly two weeks at the regional Northern Virginia hospital where she’d delivered. During that time, she could still pump breast milk, but Ariyah couldn’t consume it because of the risk of infection (感染). Without it, the newborn was particularly easily affected by diseases. There are many cases like this, which creates the need for the milk donation.Enter donor milk —breast milk purchased by hospitals for mothers who aren’t able to produce enough milk on their own, due to health complications, stresses, or other factors. The milk comes from milk banks, organizations that collect and screen breast milk from those women willing to donate. Usually processed in intensive-care units, the milk is only available by prescription.In recent years, both milk banks and the use of donated human milk have risen swiftly in the United States. In 2011, 22 percent of NICUs used donor breast milk; four years later, that number doubled to nearly 40 percent, and went even higher for the most intensive NICUs — as much as 75 percent. There are 23 milk banks in the United States recognized by the Human Milk Banking Association of North America, or HMBANA, double the number that existed five years ago.But as the demand for donor milk rises, banks must find more charitable donors — a task made more complicated by informal networks of milk sharing that happens online. And many of the most vulnerable infants are still not being reached.8. What’s the problem of Ariyah when she was born?A. She had a shock.B. She was too light.C. She had a blood infection.D. She felt dizzy and feverish.9. What’s the influence if a mom has no breast milk?A. The mom can still pump breast milk.B. The mom will have to stay at the hospital.C. The baby will be separated from others.D. It is more likely for the baby to catch a disease.10. What is the purpose of using figures in Paragraph 4?A. To call healthy moms to donate breast milk.B. To show the demand change of donated human milk.C. To show the shortage of breast milk in milk banks.D. To raise the awareness of the importance of breast milk.11. Where would you most probably see the text above?A. In a historical fiction.B. In a science magazine.C. In an entertainment newspaper.D. In a textbook.DOne of the most striking findings of a newly research in the UK is that of the people interviewed, one in two believes that it is becoming more difficult to meet someone to start a family with.Why are many finding it increasingly difficult to start close relationships? Does modern life really make it harder to fall in love? Or are we making it harder for ourselves? It is certainly the case today that contemporary couples benefit in different ways from relationships. Women no longer rely upon partners for money or status. A man doesn’t expect his wife to be in sole (唯一的) charge of running his household and raising his children.But perhaps the knowledge that we can live perfectly well without a partnership means that it takes much more to persuade people to abandon their independence.In theory, finding a partner should be much simpler these days. Only a few generations ago, your choice of soul mate was limited by geography, social convention and family tradition. Although it was never clear, many marriages were essentially arranged. Now those barriers have been broken down. You can approach a builder or a brain surgeon in any bar in any city on any given evening. When the world is your oyster (牡蛎), you surely have a better chance of finding a pearl.But it seems that the old conventions have been replaced by the limitation of choice. The expectations ofpartners are raised to an unmanageable degree: good looks, impressive salary, kind to grandmother, and right socks. There is no room for error in the first impression.We think that a relationship can be perfect. If it isn’t, it should be ended. We work to protect ourselves against future heartache and don’t put in the hard emotional labor needed to build a strong relationship. Twelve-hour work at the office makes relaxed after-hours dating difficult. The cost of housing and child-raising creates pressure to have a stable income and career before a life partnership.12. What is a contemporary family like in UK today?A. Couples share the burdens.B. Men begin to depend on women.C. Women are responsible for housework.D. It is difficult to take care of a family.13. Why do people preserve their independence?A. To live alone happily.B. To have more choices.C. To avoid marriages.D. To ignore traditions.14. What makes it hard for people to date?A. Mental headache in dating.B. The pressure to survive.C. Bad luck in finding a partner.D. The faith between life partners.15. What is the author trying to inform us in this text?A. Perfect marriages conflict with independence.B. People should spend more money on marriages.C. The expectations and reality separate the lovers.D. Independence is much more important than love.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。
