AThe boy sat on his chair，with his hands above the keyboard.He thought about what to write.He recalled that the competition deadline was merely a week away.But he still had not even started on his piece.He looked at the brochure again.“WRITING COMPETITION！” the title read.His mom had encouraged him to enter the writing competition，and now he was taking it on as his personal task for the holidays.As the boy reflected on his previous writing efforts，he realized how hopeless his task of winning was.Every story he ever wrote was based on other stories.He has little imagination，and unfortunately，imagination was the key to writing.Suddenly，he had a brainwave.This time，he came up with an original and imaginative story.The words shot towards him like a storm of leaves.Words were coming easily，flowing through him，faster than he could type.He typed faster than he ever had before.He continued to type，amazed how easy writing this story was.The boy could not stop writing.He looked at the word count and saw the number“248” staring right back at him.He was not even halfway yet.Then he heard his mother's call of saying time for bed.He continued writing the piece，ignoring her.He had to make up for the time he had lost in thinking about a topic to write.Finally，he finished.The word count now read“498”．“Perfect，”he thought，“just under the word limit.”He knew this was the story that would win.He went to the website and searched for the competition.He found the page but there was no “Enter” button.Confused，he then re-read the page again.It read COMPETITION CLOSED.21．What caused the boy to take part in the writing competition?A．A new computer.B．The prize money.C．His own interest.D．His mom's encouragement.22．How did the boy finish his earlier writing?A．His mom helped him.B．He copied others' ideas.C．His friends assisted him.D．He used his imagination.23．Why did the boy delay his writing?A．Because he was terribly lazy.B．Because he didn't know what to write.C．Because he wasn't confident.D．Because he read too many stories.BKyle Cassidy and three othe r members of the Annenberg Running Group were stretching on the ground of the University of Pennsylvania, waiting for a few latecomers.The Penn colleagues and other community members meet three days a week for a roughly 30-minute jog and an occasional lecture.That's right—during some runs，one of them delivers a talk.Topics range from the brain to the Bitcoin.But on this day last January，it would not be their normal run.The first clue that something was off was the man who sprinted past them.“Running at an amazing pace，”Cassidy told Runner'sWorld admiringly.Cassidy discovered why the sprinter was so fleet of foot when another man ran by，yelling，“Help！He took my phone and laptop！”At that time，the group did what running clubs do：They ran，trailing the suspect down the streets of Philadelphia until he ducked into a construction site.The runners split up.Cassidy ran around to the far side of the site to cut the thief off while the others wandered the neighborhood hoping he had dumped the loot(赃物) in a backyard.No luck.So they decided to ask residents whether they'd seen the guy.When they knocked on the door of one row house，they were in for a surprise.Unknown to them，he had already emerged from the construction site—and was hiding behind a bush by that very house.As the owner opened the door，the suspect darted out from behind the bush...and right into the arms of the campus police，who'd joined the chase shortly behind the runners.The members of this running group are not hard-core athletes. But they do understand the benefit of a little exercise.“Runn ing is typically a useless sport where you turn fat cells into heat，”Cassidy told ThePhiladelphiaInquirer.“But occasionally it can be useful，and here was one of those opportunities.”24．Why do the group members gather together?A．To do some stretching.B．To have a regular run.C．To deliver a lecture.D．To cover some topics.25．What does the underlined word“sprinted” in Paragraph 2 Probably mean?A．Dashed.B．Pushed.C．Jumped. D．Escaped.26．We can infer that the success of the chase is mainly due to ．A．the assistance of the runnersB．the owner of the row houseC．the campus police on patrolD．the joint efforts of the people27．Which of the following best describes Cassidy?A．Athletic and generous.B．Courageous and ambitious.C．Helpful and humorous.D．Thoughtful and demanding.CThe world's first hydrogen-po wered trains have begun running in Germany. They began carrying passengers Monday in Germany's northern Lower Saxony.The new train will run 100-kilometer trips and can travel up to 140 kilometers an hour.A French railroad company called Alstom built the two trains.Teams in Germany and France cooperated on the project，which was supported by the German government.The new train model，called the Coradia iLint，signals the beginning of efforts in Germany and other nations to move away from pollution-producing diesel(柴油) trains.The Coradia iLint is designed to run on non-electrified train lines with low levels of noise.It uses a process that combines hydrogen and oxygen to produce electrical power.If the systemproduces more energy than the train needs at that time，it can store the extra energy in batteries.The only emissions(排放物) are water and steam.A single tank of hydrogen can run a Coradia iLint train for about 1，000 kilometers.This is very similar to the distance a diesel-powered train can run on a single tank of diesel.Hydrogen-powered trains cost more than diesel trains to build，but Alstom officials say the operating costs are much lower.The company plans to provide another 14 Coradia iLint trains to Lower Saxony by 2021．The head of railroad operations in the area，Carmen Schwab，praised replacing diesel trains with hydrogen trains.She said the move was an important first step in using clean-burning technologies to reach climate protection goals.Officials say many of the area's wind turbines(涡轮机) will produce part of the energy to create the hydrogen to power the trains.Alstom says several other European countries have also expressed interest in developing hydrogen train systems.France has already said it wants its first hydrogen train to be operating by 2022.28．Why did Germany build the new trains?A．To replace diesel trains.B．To carry more passengers.C．To make traveling much easier.D．To develop friendship with France.29．What is one advantage of the Coradia iLint?A．It runs without making any noise.B．It doesn't use electrical power.C．It costs much less to run.D．It is cheaper to make it.30．It can be concluded that hydrogen trains ．A．are widely usedB．are environmentally friendlyC．can stop air pollutionD．can produce water and oxygen31．What might be the best title for the text?A．Saving Natural ResourcesB．Efforts to Reduce EmissionsC．The World's First Hydrogen TrainsD．A New Way to Make Electricity.DWho're happier，men or women？Research shows it's a complex question and that asking whether males or females are happier isn't really that helpful，because basically，happiness is different for women and men.Women's happiness has been declining for the past 30 years，according to recent statistics.And research shows that women are twice as likely to experience depression compared with men.Gender(性别) differences in depression are well confirmed and studies have found that biological，psychological and social factors contribute to the difference.Early studies on gender and happiness found men and women were socialized to express different feelings.Women are more likely to express happiness，warmth and fear，which help with social bonding and appear more consistent with the traditional role as a primary caregiver，while men display more anger，pride and disrespect，which are more consistent with a protector and provider role.Recent research suggests that these differences are not just socially，but also genetically related.Studies have looked into these findings further and discovered that females use more areas of the brain containing mirror neurons(镜像神经元) than males when they process feelings.Mirror neurons allow us to experience the world from other people's view，to understand their actions and intentions.This may explain why women can experience deeper sadness.Women tend to experience more negative feelings，such as more guilt，shame and to a lesser degree，embarrassment.Psychologically it seems men and women differ in the way they process and express feelings.With the exception of anger，women experience feelings more strongly and share their feelings more openly with others.Studies have found in particular that women express more appreciation—which has been linked to greater happiness.This supports the theory that women's happiness is more dependent on relationships than men's.32．Which feeling are men more likely to show compared with women?A．Warmth.B．Depression.C．Happiness. D．Disrespect.33．What factors cause women to share feelings more openly?A．Psychological factors.B．Biological factors.C．Educational factors.D．Social factors.34．One can probably read the text from ．A．a science fictionB．a culture brochureC．a nursery guideD．a health magazine35．What is the text mainly about?A．Men and women differ in biology and psychology.B．Men and women experience happiness differently.C．Social roles have a great effect on men and women.D．Women's happiness has declined in the past years.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5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.Useful Memory StrategiesForm associations between new and remembered information. If you can link new ideas with previously established ones, then, you can increase the chance that new memories will be formed. Try coming up with a familiar picture, song, joke, or rhyme. 36 Form a picture in your mind that includes the new fact.37 It may be boring, but simply repeating new information over and over in different ways will help it stick in your brain better, especially if you space out the repetition over time. For example, if you’re trying to remember the definition of a new word, read it several times to yourself. Then speak the definition out loud a couple times, and try writing it down once or twice.Teach someone else the information you’re trying to learn. Teaching others can help you remember and understand things better. Find a classmate or co-worker who needs to learn the same information, form a study group, and take turns teaching each other different concepts. 38 !Test yourself after learning something new. 39 You have to actually practice finding the information from your memory in order to strengthen the connections within your brain. 40 In this way, you can make sure you’ve got them right. If you answer something wrong, you will be more likely to remember it incorrectly in the future as well, so instantly correct yourself and repeat the right answer a few more times.A. Be sure to immediately check your answers.B. Make sure that the basic information is right.C. And you can associate them with the new material.D. Repeat new facts as soon as you come across them.E. Simply re-reading the same information isn’t good enough.F. Then keep trying effective methods and cooperation with others.G. Alternately, ask your friends if they’re willing to learn something new from you.第三部分语言运用（共两节，满分30分）第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。

But there may be a(n) 41 to doing so, as a study has claimed that 3D films exercise the brain and improve short-term functioning in a similar way to brain-training tests.The research was led by neuroscientist(神经科学家) Dr Patrick Fagan from Goldsmiths University in London. More than 100 people took part in the experiment, where participants watched Disney film Big Hero6 in either 42 type or RealD 3D. They also carried out a brain-training-style test before and after seeing a part from the film. The test covered memory, reaction time and cognitive (认知的) function, and the results were later 43 .According to the research, participants 44 a 23 per cent increase in cognitive processing, as well as an 11 percent increase in reaction time.Dr Fagan said that the results showed enough of an improvement in brain function to suggest that 3D could play a part in improving brain 45 in the future. “These findings are more significant than youmight think,” he said. “It is a fact that people are living longer and there is a(n) 46 decline in cognitive brain function in old age which can damage future quality of life. There has never been a better time to look at ways to improve brain function. The initial results of this study indicate that 3D films may 47 play a role in slowing this decline.”A second part of the experiment involved those watching the film being fitted with headsets(耳机)that48 brain activity and this too showed heightened activity when watching 3D. According to the results, participants were seven percent more engaged with what they were watching, adding to the argument that 3D movies are more like watching real-life-something. “A seven percent rise in emotional engagement is 49 remarkable. Watching in 3D gives the viewer such an enriched and quality experience, as these results show,” he said. “In evolutionary 50 , the results of both parts of the test certainly make sense. 3D films are more likely to heighten the senses and cause emotional arousal—this, in turn, makes the brain run at quicker speeds,” Dr Fagan added.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, Cand D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Researchers recently find w omen likely face work environments that push against the “having it all” mentality, leading to feelings of guilt and depression.Trying to have it all could be bad for your mental health, according to a new study that finds that “supermoms” have higher rates of depression compared with working moms who let things 51 .The research, presented Aug. 20 at the annual meeting of the American Sociological Association in Las Vegas, finds that working is 52 for mothers’ mental health. But among working mothers, the least depressed are those who don’t expect to 53 work and family life perfectly, said study researcher Katrina Leupp, a graduate student at the University of Washington in Seattle.“The ideal that women can do it all actually 54 the level of depressive symptoms compared to women who were more doubtful about whether or not work and family c an be balanced,” Leupp told LiveScience.Leupp analyzed survey 55 from 1,600 married women who participated in a large survey called the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth. In 1987, the women answered questions to judge their support of women’s 56 , including whether they agreed with statements such as “Women are much happier if they stay at home and take care of their children.”In 1992 and 1994, the now 40-year-old women answered questions about their symptoms of depression. Like earlier studies, the survey data indicated that women who worked outside the home had fewer symptoms of depression, perhaps because outside work giveswomen more 57 interaction, more varied activities and a larger income, Leupp said.Among the employed women, though, the cheeriest were those who had indicated in their younger years the least 58 for women balancing career and family. The results held even after controlling for earlier levels of depression.“Somewhat 59 , women who don’t expect to be able to balance work and family have better mental health than those who do,” Leupp said.The study didn’t explain why optimistic (乐观的) views of balancing work and motherhood would60 later depression. “The reason may come down to 61 and real-world work environme nts,”Leupp said. “Women who expect to have it all probably come up against 62 that aren’t designed with work-life balance in mind. When they can’t balance everything perfectly, these supermoms are more likely to feel 63 .”“I think this research rea lly speaks to a 64 between women’s expectations and the actual structure of the workplace,” Leupp said.“The takeaway for working moms is to temper their optimism about balancing 65 and employmentand not to blame themselves if they struggle. Recognize that if it feels difficult, it’s because it is difficult.”51. A. happen B. continue C. slide D. end52. A. good B. ready C. hard D. possible53.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits bestaccording to the information given in the passage you have just read.（A）The twenty-four horses dash around a racetrack. The thunder of their hooves (蹄) rings in the riders’ears, nearly drowning out the cheering of the crowd. After three or four minutes of suspense, one horse crosses the finish line first, winning the Melbourne Cup and earning a place in history.The horses that compete in the Melbourne Cup—one of the world’s most famous horseraces—were fated to race. Bred for speed, these horses are the few that were singled out as having potential to become champions.Preparing a racehorse to compete requires a team. A horse’s owner manages the team and decides which races to enter. A trainer determines the racehorse’s diet and exercise. Regular exercise makes a horse less likely to be injured, but overtraining tires the horse. A groomer (动物美容师) cares for the racehorse and reports any problems he discovers to the trainer. And of course, no horserace could be run without a rider. These riders train for long hours and travel constantly from one race to another. They need to make a strategy, adapt to changing conditions and communicate with their horse to guide it to victory.Australia’s most famous horserace, the Melbourne Cup, is 3,200 meters of pure excitement. Each year 300 or 400 horses are nominated(提名), but only 24 can run. The competitors are chosen based on a number of factors, but winners of certain races qualify automatically.Each racehorse receives a handicap—a certain weight it must carry to give each horse an equal chance of winning—two months before the race. Originally, horses that seemed likely to win were assigned larger handicaps. But the rules have changed, reducing the handicap for previous winners.The first Melbourne Cup in 1861 drew a crowd of 4,000 spectators, and the race’s popularity has grown since then. Held on the first Tuesday of November, the cup has become a four-day festival with fine food and entertainment.The Melbourne Cup began during a gold rush as a form of entertainment for the rich. Today it still attracts society’s upper class. They come dressed in their finest to enjoy the event in comfort.But anyway it’s all about the race—the effort of horses and riders, the suspense and the thrill of victory.66. What can be learned about the horses in the Melbourne Cup?A. They are all winners of a certain race.B. They are raised and trained by joint effort.C. They are chosen from ordinary horses.D. Their fates are determined by their trainers.67. The racehorses are given handicaps so that _____.A. they will weigh the sameB. previous winners are unlikely to winC. the race will be fair enoughD. they will be more adaptable to the race68. It can be learned from the passage that _____.A. the spectators of the Melbourne Cup must dress wellB. the Melbourne Cup was intended for wealthy peopleC. the winner of the Melbourne Cup can earn a large fortuneD. the Melbourne Cup is the best-known horserace worldwide69.

The solution may be just a few steps away.“Energy harvesting”promises to power countless consumer devices, often with nothing more thanyour body’s movement or heat. Dozens of companies around the world already offer such products, but many experts believe the market for the technology could explode due to electronic devices being developed for the Internet of Things.“It’s huge,”said Graham Martin, CEO of the EnOcean Alliance, a San Ramon-based group of businesses that promotes wireless energy-harvesting technologies. With the Internet of Things expected to combine billions of devices, “if they are all battery-powered, we’ll have a problem because there’s not enough lithium (锂) in the world,” he added. “So a lot of them will have to use energy harvesting.”Among the most basic forms of the technology is body power. When certain materials are squeezed or stretched, the movement of their atoms creates an electrical charge. Automatic watches have employed the concept for decades, for example, by winding themselves when their user moves their arm. Now, the concept is being considered for a number of other devices.In a contest seeking visionary ideas for wearable technologies, Intel awarded $5,000 for a concept to change the temperature difference between a person’s body and a special piece of clothing they’d wear into electricity for mobile devices.Using sound to power devices is another energy-harvesting variation. Stanford University engineers are testing smart microchips (芯片) that create electricity from ultrasound (超声波) to power implantable (可植入的) devices that can analyze a person’s nervous system or treat their diseases.A textile (纺织品) research association in Spain is proposing to obtain electricity from radio waves that flow around everyone to power sensors sewn into clothes, which can monitor a person’s heartbeat or other vital signs.Research firm IDTechEx has estimated that annual global sales of energy-harvesting products could hit $2.6 billion by 2024, while WinterGreen Research predicts sales of $4.2 billion by 2021.Obtaining stable energy from devices can be complex, however. For one thing, the motion that generates the electricity has to be constant to be useful. Moreover, the amount of power the devices produce depends on the person using them, according to a ColumbiaUniversity study. It determined that taller people on average provide about 20 percent more power than shorter ones when walking, running or cycling.It’s also unclear how eagerly consumers might welcome energy-harvesting products. While such devices are expected to cost less than battery-powered alternatives when compared over many years, experts say, people may continue buying ones with batteries merely because those would be cheaper in the short term.74. Which “explode”in the following sentences has the most similar meaning to the word “explode”inParagraph 2?A. They were clearing up when the second bomb exploded.B. The continued tension could explode into more violence.C. The population exploded to 40,000 during the last tourist season.D. The boss exploded when he heard of the resignation of the secretary.75. What makes “energy harvesting” necessary according to the passage?A. The waste of lithium in the world.B. The increasing number of electronic devices.C. The development of technology.D. The pollution caused by batteries.76. It can be learned from the passage that _____.A. energy-harvesting products save money in the long runB. taller people can surely produce a larger amount of powerC. automatic watches harvest energy from the user s’ body heatD. two ways of harvesting energy are mentioned in the passage77. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?A. Energy harvesting: a low-risk technologyB. Energy harvesting: a high-profit technologyC. Energy harvesting: a problem-free technologyD. Energy harvesting: an environment-friendly technologySection CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in thefewest possible words.Want to attractand keeptop talent? Here’s a suggestion: Make a flexible work schedule part of the deal.Asurvey this summer of 1,215 U.S. managers and employees across a variety of industries, by EY (formerly Ernst & Young), found those aged 18 to 32 rank flexibility among the perks (特殊待遇) they want most, with 33% saying they wouldn’t work anywhere that didn’t offer it. But it seems those aged 33 to 48value flextime even more: 38% of them consider it non-negotiable, with men who said so, at 40%, slightly outnumbering women (37%).“Companies first started offering flexible schedules, in the late 80s and the 90s, as a way to recruit (招募) and keep talented women, but it’s gone way beyond that now,” observes Karyn Twaronite, an EY partner who came up through the tax side of the business.Noting that both men and women, in all age groups, ranked flextime(弹性工作制) tops among non-cash perks, Twaronite adds, “That result mirrors exactly what we’re seeing here at EY.” The accounting and consulting giant, No. 57 on Fortune’s Best Companies to Work For, has had thousands of employees working flexible schedules for years—including, since 2004, six weeks’ of paid leave for new dads.“Flextime may have started out as a women’s issue, but it’s changed into something that people of both sexes have come to expect,” he adds. “I think it’s partly because of the large nu mber of two-career households now, where people have to adapt to two demanding professional schedules instead of just one.”The EY survey suggests that, in the next decade or so, the opportunity for a life outside the office will become an even bigger draw than it already is. Most of those surveyed still work a set schedule, the report notes, but “respondents expect a shift in the coming years to more flexible hours, as 62% currently work standard office hours and only 50% expect to do so in five to ten yea rs.”That doesn’t surprise Twaronite. “Work is changing,” she observes. “The technology to connect anywhere and anytime means that people are expected to be on call 24 hours a day, especially in global companies that operate across different time zones. The other side of that is that employers are adapting to people’s lives outside of work—because they have to be.”(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)78. What is the main finding of the survey?79. Flextime was originally aimed at _____.80. The result of the survey is caused by the fact that _____.81. What makes flextime possible according to Twaronite?第Ⅱ卷（共47分）I. TranslationDirections: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.1. 出国对于这个高中生来讲根本没有吸引力。

Robert and Henry were two friends in the same class. They always played together and went home together. One day，Robert and Henry were going home from school, when, on turning a corner, Robert cried out, “A fight! Let’s go and see!”“No,”said Henry. “Let us go quietly home and not meddle with(插手)this quarre1. We have nothing to do with it and may get into trouble. Also our parents are expecting to have dinner with us together at home and I don’t want them to worry about me.”“You are a coward, and afraid to go,”said Robert，and off ha ran. Henry want straight home, and in the afternoon went to school as usual.But Robert had told all the boys that Henry was a coward, and they laughed at him a great deal. From then on, they looked down upon Henry and didn’t want to play with him together.Henry was sad but he wasn’t angry with Robert for his rude behavior, because he learned that true courage is shown most in bearing misunderstanding when it was not deserved, and that he ought to be afraid of nothing but doing wrong. Thus, he just ignored the other boys’laughter and continued to go to school and study as well. However, Robert didn’t invite Henry to go home with him anymore. Instead, he had some other boys who also thought Henry was a coward. Every day after school，they didn’t go home directly but went to the river or somewhere to play games and had a lot of fun.A few days later, Robert was bathing with his new friends in a river, and got out of his depth. He struggled, and screamed for help, but all in vain. The boys who had called Henry a coward got out of the water as fast as they could, but they did not even try to help him.注意：1．所续写短文的词数应为150左右；2 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好；Paragraph 1：Robert was fast sinking．___________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2：Thus，Robert's life was saved．___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________Part two 知识及技巧分享1. 有关shoulder的肢体动作描写1．耸耸肩2．耸肩3．坐在某人的肩膀上4．回头看参考答案：shrug one’s shoulders 耸耸肩shrug [ʃrʌɡ] vt. 耸肩sit on one's shoulders 坐在某人的肩膀上looke (back) over one's shoulder 回头看翻译练习：1.当我问他为什么这么做时，他只是耸耸肩。

D．It saves you time for cooking.BPerhaps thousands of people have searched for a bronze chest full of gold and jewels hidden in the Rocky Mountains between Santa Fe and the Canadian border hidden by a millionaire adventurer. At least four people died in their search for the treasure.But it's all over now. Fenn's Treasure has been found. The 89-year-old adventurer named Forrest Fenn, who created the treasure hunt, announced the news via his website. “I don't know the person who found it, but the poem in my book led him to the precise spot,” Fenn wrote. “The treasure was confirmed by a photograph the lucky finder sent me.”Forrest Fenn, the man who started the hunt, lives in Santa Fe. He was a pilot in the Vietnam War and later accumulated his wealth as a dealer in art and antiques. Fenn was diagnosed(诊断) with cancer in 1988 and had planned to die peacefully in the woods with his treasure. But when his cancer became less serious, he changed his plan, eventually writing the poem that described his dream resting place, which is where he hid the treasure. The poem appeared in a memoir called The Thrill of the Chase. Fenn said that the chest wouldn't be found by accident; only a treasure hunter who correctly interpreted the clues(线索) would find it.Several treasure hunters went missing while attempting to find the chest, including hunter Jeff Murphy and Mike Petersen, both of whom went missing in Yellowstone National Park in 2017. Fenn said that he had never been to the Yellowstone National Park, and that the treasure was not in a dangerous place. "It was in thethick forest of the Rocky Mountains and had not been moved from the spot where I hid it more than 10 years ago," Fenn wrote on his website. It is illegal to remove anything from a national park, which would cause trouble in legally claiming the treasure if it was found there.4．What contributed to the finding of the treasure?A．Fenn's announcement. B．A poem in Fenn's book.C．Fenn’s vivid description.D．A photo on Fenn's website.5．What is the third paragraph mainly about?A．Who Forrest Fenn was. B．Where Fenn hid the treasure.C．How the treasure hunt began. D．What Fenn did to find the treasure.6．What can we learn about "Fenn's Treasure”?A．It was in Yellowstone National Park.B．It was found by someone by chance.C．It was moved from one place to another.D．It was in Fenn's chosen resting place.7．What does the underlined word “claiming” in the last paragraph probably mean?A．Taking. B．Burying. C．Protecting. D．Acknowledging.CNot buying things can be difficult, even when you're determined not to. For many people, a no-buy year is simply a way of life because their financial situation leaves them no other choice. But for others—myself included—we have enough clothes, shoes, electronic devices, books, and so on. Yet, we continue to buy.If you're going to try a no-buy year, the first step is identifying why you're doing it. Is it to save money? Pay off debt? Have more money for experiences? To be more sustainable? Without a goal, failure is likely. I say this based on my experience.Last year, I wanted to take my sons on vacation where I could afford the rental and good meals. So I set a goal. That goal was not to buy anything I didn't need. A month before we went, I realized I needed to do more.I decided that I wouldn't spend money going out socially. I eventually reached my goal.After vacation, I went back to my regular spending habits. But I wonder what would have happened if I'd maintained the stricter habits. There are many experiences I would love to have—concerts and music festivals are at the top of the list. Yet, I often buy little things—like $20 shoes instead of tickets to concerts. If I could forgo those little things, I would probably go to a lot more concerts.I think the no-buy movement is something that would bring us some happiness. Still, it's difficult. Eventhough we're surrounded by things, we manage to convince ourselves that none of those things are the “perfect” things for our immediate need.I'm going to set another goal right now. That goal is to go to a big music festival at the end of the summer. To get there, I promise I won't spend money on the things I don't really need. Nowadays, I encourage you to spend some time thinking about what your goals are and how about buying nothing—or at least buying a lot less—can help you reach them.8．Why did the author not continue her social activities?A．To pay off her debt. B．To accompany her sons.C．To realize her sons' goals. D．To save money for their vacation.9．What does the underlined word “forgo” mean in Paragraph 4?A．Quit. B．Afford.C．Maintain. D．Rent.10．What does the author think of the no-buy movement?A．It is beneficial but hard to carry out.B．It shows the true meaning of happiness.C．It finds fault with current spending habits.D．It gives way to big music festivals and musicals.11．What would the best title probably be?A．The No- Buy Movement Is PopularB．Could You Handle A No-Buy Year?C．Financial Situation Affects What We Can BuyD．Do What You Like Even If You May Meet TroubleDThe area around Taal Lake on Luzon Island in the Philippines is known for its natural beauty. Tourism is popular there as travelers go there to see the scenery that surrounds Taal Volcano, one of the most active volcanoes in the country. It was quiet for years until January 12, 2020 when the volcano erupted. Since then, the cities surrounding the volcano have been covered with ash and many people are forced to leave home.But the ash didn't stop the residents of Binan, a city that is 35 km south of Manilla, from finding a way to help their neighbors in the towns that suffered the most from Taal. Binan Mayor Walfredo Dimaguila ordered the city residents to collect the ash and to put it in sacks (麻袋) to be sent to the state-owned factory that can produce 5,000 bricks a day to turn it into bricks to use for rebuilding damaged communities.“What we plan is to turn them into hollow blocks and bricks and sell them to interested companies,” Dimaguila said. But he noted, the money would be donated to the people directly affected by the volcano. “When Batangas (the region where Taal is located) is in recovery, the bricks can not only be used to build schools, community halls and livelihood centers but also help deal with ash pollution for the earth,” Dimaguila said. “The misfortune of our neighbors in Batangas is there. Let's transform this into opportunity.”The Philippines, located in the Pacific “Ring of Fire: zone of fire” and part of the typhoon belt, is a country that is known for natural disasters like earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and major storms. But the Filipino people show their strong will and community spirit.12．What has happened to Taal Volcano?A．It attracts more and more visitors. B．It becomes quieter and quieter.C．It is covered with ash completely. D．It causes bad effects on the locals.13．What are people advised to do according to Walfredo Dimaguila?A．To collect volcanic ash for recycling. B．To save sacks for factories to use.C．To set up a factory for making bricks. D．To build communities for people from disasters. 14．What can we infer from Dimaguila's words in Paragraph 3?A．Companies are expected to donate money.B．Bricks made of volcanic ash are popular.C．Batangas has been the most misfortune.D．Turning ash into bricks benefits the earth.15．What's the main idea of the passage?A．Taal Lake on Luzon Island is destroyed. B．Taal Volcano has enjoyed popularity.C．Disasters always hit the Philippines. D．The Filipino people turn ash into treasure.第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分, 满分12.5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。

But at times it seems too difficult and too far out of reach. 36 Here’s a handful of ways that will set you in the right direction.● 37 Do not follow the people who make you feel not-good-enough. Why do you follow them? Are you hoping that eventually you will feel empowered because your life is better than theirs? Know that your life is your own; you are the only you in this world.●Forgive yourself for mistakes that you have made. We are often ashamed of our shortcomings, our mistakes and our failures. 38 You will make mistakes time and time again. Rather than getting caught up in how you could have done better, why not offer yourself a compassionate(有同情心) response? “That didn’t go as planned. But, I tried my best.”●Recognize all of your strengths. Write them down in a journal. Begin to train your brain to look at strength before weakness. List all of your accomplishments and achievements. You have ajob, earned your degree, and you got out of bed today. 39●Now that you’ve listed your strengths, list your imperfections. Turn the page in your journal. Put into words why you feel unworthy, why you don’t feel good enough. Now, read these words back to yourself. 40 Turn to a page in your journal to your list of strengths and achievements.

Stop comparing yourself with others.G. When does the comparison game start?（2020·浙江卷7月）I experienced years of loneliness as a child. 31 His friends teased him about babysitting his sister and his interests were far different from mine. With no other kids of my age in the neighborhood, I had to spend hours by myself.A bright spot for me turned out to be reading. My love of the written word began early as my mother read to me every evening. 32 I started reading books on my own before age 5 and my mother took me to the public library once a week to borrow several books. I quickly graduated from typical children’s books to ones with fewer pictures and longer chapters. Reading opened new worlds to me. 33My mother also encouraged me to make what I wanted. I tried making toy cars with cardboard boxes and constructing buildings from leftover cardboard and bits of wood my father gave me. When my mother saw my creations, she told me how creative my designs were. 34 I learned a lot about how to extend the life of objects and transform them into something new and useful. It was a trait(特点) others found helpful, and I soon had friends who wanted to make things with me.35 My parents made it a point for their two kids to spend time outside, no matter the weather or season. My brother, of course, raced off to be with his friends, while I had plenty to domyself. There was making-leaf houses in autumn, ice skating in winter, and so much more. They’re all memories I treasure today.A. I wasn’t alone any longer.B. I enjoyed reading stories aloud.C. I was invited to play with another kid.D. I loved the colorful photographs in the books.E. Another habit I formed early was being outdoors.F. Thus, I began my lifelong interest in making things.G. My older brother couldn’t be bothered to play with me.Passage 1In the future, when robots can be used both in homes and in other areas, they could improve the living standards of people. 1 When robots can complete such jobs, people can spend more time with their family and friends.Experts believe robots can be used on certain jobs to avoid accidents caused by careless behavior of some people. When robots are used on such work, it does not risk any human life due to accidents at the workplace. Human resources can be efficiently used by performing tasks which demand human skills like critical thinking and problem solving. 2While some people talk about how robots can be useful to humans, others voice their concerns. When robots become cheaper to produce, employers may prefer to use more robots than humans. As the technology constantly improves the abilities of robots, it could weaken the value of humans. 3 Some may even develop the habit of using robots on tasks that they can easily do. This could create a lazy society.4 Without them, the nation’s health care system will break down. There will simply be too many elderly people to care for as the nation faces a decreasing birth rate, an aging population, and the loosening of family ties.5 Above all, Japan needs its dreams of robots in the hometo come true because its immigration policy is anti-immigration.A.Robots have been widely used in Japan.B.Many people may rely on robots heavily.C.They can free people from such tasks as cooking.D.Most people believe robots have changed their life.E.Japan sees it as a must to build robots to take care of the elderly.F.Robots can be also used on low-end jobs like moving heavy things.G.However, many elderly people would prefer human helpers to robots.Passage 2I am fortunate because I am one of the hosts of the radio club in our school. We all find the club amazing as it is run by the students for the school.It was started two years ago. One day, I just began thinking about music for everyone, 6 He approved(批准) the proposal, and over time I am in charge of the radio club as the oldest student member.7 Every morning we tell our schoolmates about the weather, recent news, and some special messages that the teachers want us to broadcast(广播).During exam time we have a special programme 8 For example, we let students know how to take advantage of all the resources to review(复习).At the end of the school year, many students who are graduating(毕业) make use of our club to give messages to their close friends and teachers.Last but not least, when parents come to visit the school and talk to the teachers, we often play songs sung by students, and we also give messages 910 I shall miss the radio club after graduation, but I know that it will continue without me.A.Our club is much more than just music.B.and all the members made contributions to our club.C.In time I’ve found myself grown into an all-round person.D.The radio club has really made a difference in my school life.E.to remind students of the things they should do for preparation.F.to inform the parents of events such as outings and school plays.G.so I asked the headmaster if music could be played during break times.Passage 3If you live in a city where everyone rushes, you should realize that you don’t have to be like everyone else. 11 Here are some tips to consider and perhaps to adopt, if they work for your life.Do less.Cut back on your projects, on your task list, on how much you try to do each day. Focus not on quantity but on quality. Pick 2 or 3 important things — or even just one important thing — and work on those first. 1213If you’re constantly rushing to appointments or other places you have to be, it’s because you don’t allot(分配) enough time in your schedule for preparing and for traveling. Arrange your schedule to allow time for this stuff. If you think it only takes you 10 minutes to get ready for work or a date, perhaps give yourself 30 to 45 minutes so you don’t have to shave in a rush or put on makeup in the car.Realize that if it doesn’t get done, that’s Ok.14 I know that’s a frustrating attitude for some of you who don’t like laziness or living without firm deadlines, but it’s also reality. The world likely won’t end if you don’t get that task done today. Your boss might get mad, but the company won’t collapse and the life will go on.Practice mindfulness(正念减压法).Simply learn to live in the present, rather than thinking so much about the future or the past. When you eat, fully appreciate your food. 15 When you’re walking, appreciate your surroundings, no matter where you are.A.Save smaller, routine tasks for later in the day．B.Walk instead of driving in rush hour traffic.C.Give yourself time to get ready and get there.D.You can be different.E.Practice being comfortable with sitting, doing nothing.F.There is always tomorrow.G.When you’re with someone, be with them fully.Passage 4How to prepare for an exam is a big question that you always ask yourself. Here are some tips that may help you.●Never fear or hate exams and be confident.Some students study well but still may be much afraid of exams and due to this reason, they get upset and won’t be able to score marks. 16 You have to be confident and it is of great help for you to gain victories.●Prepare a good timetable.Prepare a timetable before starting the study. 17 Tough(难的) subjects can be given more time and easier ones less but most importantly you should spare some time for entertainment(娱乐).●Select a proper atmosphere(气氛) for studying.Studying atmosphere plays a very important role. 18 So select a place where you feel comfortable. That is where you feel relaxed and can concentrate. And you have to make sure that while you are studying a subject you are concentrating on it only. Keep the books of other subjects away from your eyesight so that you won’t be upset about the things you have to learn.●Make notes while studying.This is a very important point. While studying, make small notes. The notes should be brief so that you can remember all points while doing revision. 19 It won’t take much time to go through this note.● 20On the night before an exam you have to sleep well, at least 6 hours and not more than 8 hours. Remember this will have a great effect on your exam. And have your food as in your daily diet.A.Sleep well and eat well.B.So try to present answers in points.C.This should include all the subjects.D.Can anyone study well while watching TV?E.An ideal note shall include all important points.F.This will be of great use to your coming exams.G.So leave all your fears and free your mind before starting the study.Passage 5Every year, students across the U.K. engage in the annual ritual(仪式) of telling college and university admissions officers why they deserve a seat at the school of their choice. However, this task is filled with anxiety and fear. 21 This, of course, leads many to ask the question: How should I write an essay about myself for college? Here are tips to keep in mind.22 For example, if all your friends are writing application essays about covid-19, that may be a good reason why you should avoid it. Unless, of course, you’ve had a vivid, life-changing experience that you are burning to share. Admissions counselors say that the best essays help them learn something about the candidate that they would never know from reading the rest of the application.Keep your individuality in the spotlight. 23 What sets you apart from others? Tell your extraordinary story but remember not to oversell yourself. Your reader wants to see something personal about you, something that makes you stand out among others. Imagine how many applications the admissions committee reads per day, and think twice before writing some general information that doesn’t show your individuality.Committees value authenticity. They want to hear your voice. This essay may give you the time and space to explain why a particular achievement means too much to you. But resist the urge to exaggerate: admission counselors read thousands of essays each year. 24 Sound like yourself. Don’t use words you wouldn’t normally use. Don’t use fancy language you wouldn’t use in real life. Imagine yourself reading this essay out loud to a classroom full of people who have never met you. 25 Be on the lookout for words and phrases like ‘maybe’, ‘sort of’, ‘I think’ or anything else.A.They can spot something unreal.B.This rule works in all the aspects of your life.C.Writing about oneself can be highly stressful.D.Keep a confident tone even if you’re not feeling that way.E.Remember, it’s all about you rather than a fashionable subject.F.An informative and powerful essay focuses on the readers’ needs.G.Experts often recommend looking for something unique of your life story.（2020·全国I卷）【答案】BFDCA【解析】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了自我接纳的一些方法，如不要和他人比较，原谅自己所犯的错，认识自己的优点等。
