AMy Favourite Books (2019全国卷二)Jo Usmar is a writer for Cosmopolitan and co-author of the This Book Will series(系列) of lifestyle books. Here she picks her top reads.MatildaRoald DahlI once wrote a paper on the influence of fai ry tales on Roald Dahl’s writing and it gave me a new appreciation for his strange and delightful words. Matilda’s battles with her cruel parents and the bossy headmistress, Miss Trunchbull, are equally funny and frightening, but they’re also aspirational.After DarkHaruki MurakamiIt’s about two sisters—Eri, a model who either won’t or can’t stop sleeping, and Mari, a young student. In trying to connect to her sister, Mari starts changing her life and discovers a world of diverse “night people” who are hiding secrets.Gone GirlGillian FynnThere was a bit of me that didn’t want to love this when everyone else on the planet did, but the horror story is brilliant. There’s tension and anxiety from the beginning as Nick and Amy battle for your trust. It’s a r eal whodunit and the frustration when you realise what’s going on is horribly enjoyable.The StandStephen KingThis is an excellent fantasy novel from one of the best storytellers around. After a serious flu outbreak wipes out 99.4% of the world’s populat ion, a battle unfolds between good and evil among those left. Randall Flagg is one of the scariest characters ever.1.

AIn 2018 to which we've just said goodbye, we've seen excellent movies such as Black Panther, Crazy Rich Asians and A Star Is Born. In 2019 there will be returns to classic movie characters and stories. Here are movies not to miss.Spider-Man-.Far H0- July 5, USTom Holland, the actor of 2017's Spider-Man: Homecoming, returns to play Peter Parker, a high school student who gains superpowers after being bitten by a spider(蜘蛛). When we see him again in theaters, Spider – Man will have a new red - and – black suit. The movie will take Peter on a global adventure outside of the US. According to Marved Studios President Kevin Feige, Spider - Man will try a return to his “normal" self; he will try to find his old powers on his new journey.Hobbs and Shaw, July 26,USTo most people the Fast and Furious series is all about crazy drivers racing in sports car. But in Hobbs and Shaw, humor is added to the action - packed thrills. The new film will hit US theaters on July 26. Famous English actor Jaso n Statham will star alongside Dwayne Johnson, “The Rock”, as Deckaid Shaw and Luke Hobbs respectively, as in their previous appearances in Fast and Furious 8.

But the new action scenes between an MI6 agent Hobbs and the killer Shaw will have to be good to beat their stand - off in the 2017 movie.The Lion King, July 19, USThis is a brand - new version of the classic children’s film. The story of wide - eyed young lion Simba still remains in hearts of world audiences even after 25 years. In this re-telling, Simba again begins the difficult journey to become the King of the Pride Lands，a vast African prairie(大草原).The favorite part of the story for many has always been the friendship between Simba, Timon and Punibaa. The last two sacrifice all they have to help Simba to become the king. How will the new movie re-imagine their famous relationship?1. Which movie will probably be most popular among children?A. Spider - Man: Far From Home.B. Hobbs and Shaw.C. Fast and Furious 8.D. The Lion King.2. What do the three movies have in common?A. The heroes have appeared in previous movies.B. They have the complex plot and humor style.C. They will be on in theaters in July worldwide.D. Famous actors and actresses act in the movies.3. What’s the writing purpose of the text?A. To ask for movie reviews.B. To make comments on the movies.C. To encourage readers to watch filmsD.

In 2012, he and his family were inspired to build and donate a bunk bed, one bed on top of the other, after learning there were local children who slept on the floor. Shocked to discover how widespread this need was in his community, Mickelson founded Sleep in Heavenly Peace, a nonprofit that builds and delivers beds to children in need.Born and raised in Idaho, Mickelson, now 41, had a thriving career. He coached his kids’ sports teams and fished in the nearby river. But when he met children who were sleeping on the floor, his peaceful life changed course.Using safety guidelines and his daughter’s bunk bed as a model, Mickelson started buying wood and supplies to build beds with his own money. He recruited friends and family members to help around the holiday. As word spread, interest and involvement from his and other communities flooded—along with Mickelson’s bunk bed output. “That first project, we built 11 bunk beds in my garage,” he said. “The next year, we did 15. Then it doubled every year. In 2017, we built 612 bunk beds.”With the motto “No kid sleeps on the floor in our town”, the nonprofit and its more than 65 branches have built and delivered more than 1,500 free beds to children across America. But along with the rapid growth, Mickelson was faced with a tough choice: advancing his career or his nonprofit. He chose the latter and went from making “great money to zero money”. He’s never looked back. “I found that the need I have isn’t financial,” he said. “The need I have is seeing the joy on kids’ faces, knowing that I can make a difference.”4. Why did Mickelson set up Sleep in Heavenly Peace?A. To help the poor children.B. To make a big fortune.C. To inspire his community.D. To get more donations.5. What do we know about Luke Mickelson?A. He had his own fish farm.B. He changed his career from time to time.C. He used to sleep on the floor when he was a kid.D. He originally had a relaxing and pleasant life.6. How did other peop le react to Mickelson’s project?A. They showed little interest in it.B. They were supportive and involved in it.C. They were doubtful about the safety of the bunk bed.D. They volunteered to buy beds with their own money.7. What is Mickelson’s attitude to the nonprofit?A. AmbiguousB. Defensive.C. Cautious.D. Positive.CLearning how to face silence in conversation is an important skill especially when working across cultures.In international negotiations, experienced negotiator (谈判者) stay silent and impassive on purpose because that will make others feel uncomfortable and possibly make compromises without having to do anything. Americans especially can’t stand silence, so they often are the first to break the silence and sometimes might be at a disadvantage in negotiations.So what’s the best response? Set your jaw and wait it out. Don’t offer a compromise just because theyare not speaking. If you have to say something, ask a direct question, such as “What’s your initial reaction to that offer?” Once a silence is getting into 45 seconds you could say, “Let’s come back to that in a minute and go on with the next part of our negotiation.”In presentations, silence can be far more effective than dramatic passion (热情). Before starting, look at the audie nce and be silent for a moment because that says, “I’m in control. I know what I’m doing. I’m confident.”A classic example was when Apple co-founder Steve Jobs launched the first iPhone. He introduced with many pauses so that you didn’t miss his key point s. Because silence makes us nervous, our natural reaction is that we’d better pay attention, there’s something going on here.Equally, when giving a speech to staff or trainees, pauses count-especially if there are negatives. If you keep talking you’re spoon feeding. Give people a moment of silence to get beyond the emotional response and to start thinking consciously and processing.Silence can be an inward-focused thoughtful activity or an outward stillness where you give yourself the time to watch and think and listen to the world around you. Having observed the use of silence in Finland and also among the Blackfeet Nation, a North American Indian tribe in northern Montana in the US, we can see benefits far beyond wheeling and dealing.Silence can be a very powerful point for understanding ourselves, understanding others, for developing better common understanding and more productive outcomes and that applies to business, politics, education, law, medicine, every area of human life.8. What is most likely to be Americans idea?A. Speaking less gives the upper handB. The shorter talking gaps are, the better.C. A silent man is the best one to listen toD. Speak out what you have in your mind.9. What is the purpose of the example of Steve Jobs?A. To show the wisdom of Steve Jobs.B. To explain silence can be more effective.C. To introduce how to make a presentation.D. To prove silence can ease one’s nervousness.10. What is the meaning of the underlined words “spoon feeding” in Paragraph 6?A. Supporting some person with any selfless help.B. Feeding somebody patiently with a small spoon.C. Giving others some new ideas to think over carefully.D. Using a way that discourages independent thought.11. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Silence is the best defense.B. Silence in negotiations is of great help.C. Learning the skills about silence is important.D. Silence has different meanings in difficult culture.DBritish people work some of the longest hours in Europe, but are among the least productive. Now some companies are shortening the working week to increase efficiency, health and happiness.Rich Leigh has introduced a four-day week at his PR company. In fact, his entire company has Friday off, because his firm has adopted a four-day week. It is one of a handful of UK businesses that now operate like this: staff still get paid their previous five-day salary, but they work a day less. The company found that they achieved just as much—and there were even sighs of growth. “The key to the scheme’s success,” Leigh says, “is how happy our employees now are.”The average British worker takes only a 34 minute lunch break and works 10 hours overtime each week (more often than not this is unpaid). Yet UK productivity falls seriously behind their European neighbors, who tend to work fewer hours.British working practices have caused loss and damage to the nation’s health and happiness. More than half a million workers in the UK were signed off with work-related stress or anxiety last year. Moreover, the work landscape itself is changing. Automation and AI will have a significant impact on the labor market, where unsteady work becomes more common.Britain is the only EU member that allows workers to ignore the EU working time limit and work longer ho urs. For campaigners, now is the time for a change. O’Grady, an advocate, argues that where businesses have increased their profits as a result of automation, success should be shared with workers in the form of reduced hours. “It’s time to share the benef its from new technology, not allowing those at the top to grab them for themselves.” she says.12. We can learn from the passage that ________.A. British people are the least productive in the worldB. Most companies in Britain have conducted a four-day weekC. PR company has witnessed a rise in employees’ happinessD. British people work longer and get more payment than other countries13. Which is the proper description of British working practices?A. The working time of British workers is within the EU limit.B. In terms of productivity, Britain is beaten by the United States.C. Profits gained from new technology are on the decrease.D. Automation and AI are likely to cause an instable work market.14. Which can be inferred from O’Grady’ s words in the last paragraph?A. It’s time for employers to share the increased profits created by automation.B. Workers should benefit from automation in the form of less working hours.C. New technology should belong to both businesses and workers.D. Businesses can’t make more profits without new technology.15. What is the author’s purpose of writing the passage?A. To introduce some British firms’ switch to a four-day working week.B. To explain the reasons why British workers suffer stress and anxiety.C. To appeal for more reasonable working conditions.D. To present the current productivity problem in Britain.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。

AHelping and supporting others may be key to living a longer and healthier life, according to a new research from the University of Bagel in Switzerland. The findings published in the journal Evolution and Human Behavior, show that grandparents who care for their grandchildren enjoy longer lifespans. So do old people who care for others within their social networks.Using data from the Berlin Aging Study, the researchers analyzed the longevity(寿命) and caregiving habits of more than 500 old people between the ages of 70 and 103. The study compared grandparents who acted as occasional caregivers with those who did not. It also compared these grandparents with old adults who did not have grandchildren but cared for people within their social networks.Those grandparents who did not play the role of attending to grandchildren were more likely to have diedwithin just five years of the testing period. While those old adults who provided, support to their family lived for an extra seven years on average and those provided support to their social networks lived for an extra four years on average.Although the new study only focused on old adults, it's safe to assume that the health benefits of helping and taking care of others also reach those of all ages. However, it's important to note that too much caregiving often has just the opposite effect. There's a clear link between too much caregiving and a number of negative physical and mental health consequences.1．How many groups of old people are involved in the study?A．Two.B．Three.C．Four.D．Five.2．What does the research show?A．Old people are more likely to support others.B．Grandparents live longer than childless old adults.C．Supporting others prevents diseases of old patients.D．Helping others properly has a good effect on health.3．What does the last paragraph imply?A．Reducing earegiving can avoid bad health.B．It's a good quality of all ages to be helpful.C．Caregiving is not always beneficial to health.D．Mental disorder is often caused by much caregiving.【解析】本文是一篇说明文。

Classroom discussions were virtually impossible tofollow because I couldn’t hear what was being said around the room. In a vain effort to keep up with them, I was always asking whoever happened to be sitting next to me what was being said. Eventually, I got tired of watching everyone shrug their shoulders indifferently and rolling their eyes. I began to pretend that I knew what was going on. Fitting in was so important to me that every time the kids laughed, I laughed along even though I felt muddle-headed most of the time.Luckily then fate threw me light.On one sunny afternoon, my teacher, Mrs. Jordan, asked the class a question. I read her lips from my front-row seat and immediately raised my hand. I couldn’t believe it—despite my fears, I felt incredibly confident because—for once—I was sure I had the right answer. But, when she called on me, I was suddenly afraid. Here was an opportunity to impress the powerful teacher and show her I was worthy of her love. I didn’t want to blow it. I took a deep breath and nervously answered her question.Her explosive response shocked all of us. She enthusiastically stepped her right foot on the floor, pointing directly at me. With sparkling eyes and a wide smile she cried, “THA T’S RIGHT, STEPHEN!”For the first time in my young life, I felt like an instant star. My heart burst with pride. My confidence soared. It was amazing what a great effect the simple three-word phrase delivered with incredible enthusiasm had on my young life. THAT’S RIGHT, STEPHEN! It got me to think that I would make a place for myself in this world no matter how many obstacles I had to overcome. From that day, my grades and speech improved dramatically and my peers suddenly looked at me with new respect.24. What does the underlined word “muddle-headed” in paragraph 1 mean?A. Absent-minded.B. Relaxed.C. Confused.D. Delighted.25. Why was the author in fear of answering Mrs. Jordan’s question?A. He lacked confidence and bravery.B. He wasn’t sure of the right answer.C. He would be laughed at by his classmates.D. He was afraid that he would disappoint her.26. What can be inferred about Mrs. Jordan?A. She was born with creativity.B. She changed the author’s life.C. She was strict with her students.D. She was a woman of hot temper.27. What could be the best title for the text?A. Three Simple WordsB. A Wonderful TeacherC. My Inspiring StoriesD. Disabled But Strong-willedCThe spiders have long, scary legs. Some spiders even bite. But Spider-Man is another story. He might help people see spiders less negatively, a new study finds.After Menachem Ben-Ezra, a proud fan of the Marvel(漫威漫画公司) films and also a psychologist, saw the movie Ant-Man and the Wasp(黄蜂), he walked out with a sudden scientific idea that he should measure people before they went into the theater, and afterwards to see if the fear of ants would be reduced or changed.Ben-Ezra and his colleagues asked 424 people questions, about one-quarter of them about spiders, such as “Did they find them scary?” “Did seeing one make their hearts race and palms sweat?” A second group received similar questions, this time about ants. The last two groups got the same questions about other insects. Afterward, everyone watched videos. Group one got a Spider-Man movie. Group two saw Ant-Man and the Wasp. Groups three and four watched unrelated video—wheat waving peacefully in the breeze.After viewing the movie, Ben-Ezra again asked the participants how they felt about spiders, ants or insects in general—and found the ant and spider exposures seemed to make people insensitive and less afraid. Between 3.5 and 6.1 percent of people experience such a phobia(恐惧症) of spiders. Phobias can stop people from traveling, working and enjoying their lives.Ben-Ezra hopes that their movie research might help people with phobias. But they caution that people with phobias shouldn’t just run out and watch movies and expect their fears to go away. “What we did is only the first step in a very long road.” Ben-Ezra says. “We didn’t say you’ll be cured. We don’t have evidence for that.” But eventually, presenting people’s fears in a positive context—such as a superhero movie—might help people surmount their fear or disgust. After all, if spiders produce Spicier-Man, maybe they’re not so bad.28. How did Ben-Ezra conduct the study?A. By doing lab experiments.B. By asking questions.C. By analyzing former data.D. By observation.29. What does the underlined word “surmount” in the last paragraph mean?A. Delete.B. Regain.C. Discover.D. Overcome.30. What did Ben-Ezra advise people to do with phobias?A. They should not try to face their phobias.B. They should travel, work and enjoy their lives.C. They should adopt a positive attitude to their fear.D. They must keep away from the insects they fear.31. What is the best title for the text?A. The Movies about the Insect FearB. The Positive Energy of SuperheroesC. The Cartoon Characters Made by MarvelD. Fighting Spider Fear with Spider-ManDSmoking in your own home in Thailand may now be considered a crime, if the smoke is considered harmful to other people in the house.The new law, Family Protection and Development Promotion Act , was initiated(启动) by the Ministry of Social Development and Human Security and was announced in the Royal Gazette on May 22, 2019.The law aims at curbing smoking at home which might be hazardous for others’ health residing under the same roof. In that case, it will be considered as “domestic violence”. The new law came into force on August 20.According to the center for research and knowledge management for tobacco control, at the Faculty of Medical Science of Mahidol University, there are about 4.9 million households where one or more family members smoke.An average of 10.3 million people have unwittingly(不知不觉地) become passive smokers because they’ve been breathing in smoke at home. Scientific studies show that passive smokers are a greater risk of being affected by cancer.Of 75 child patients from houses where smoking is practiced, 76% of them were found to have nicotine traces in their urine, with 43% of them having nicotine content exceeding permissible levels.Smoking at home also “may lead to physical or emotional violence” because of aggressiveness when there is a lack of smoking, and might as well ruin relationships between smokers and non-smoker family members.According to the new law, anyone who thinks they are affected by domestic smoking can report to officials concerned so that inspectors will be sent to investigate and take legal action against the smokers.Once convicted, the court may order a person to receive treatment to quit smoking in an attempt to protect the person’s family.In February in 2019, Thailand had banned smoking at six of its airports along with a ban in public places.32. What is the fact about the new law in Thailand?A. It makes it clear that smoking at home is a crime.B. It’s a law on protecting the health of non-smokers.C. It was drafted and adopted by the royal family.D. It classifies smoking as a form of domestic violence.33. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “curbing” in Paragraph 3?A. Treating.B. Changing.C. Improving.D. Controlling.34. What is NOT the evil consequence of smoking at home?A. It may increase the risk of cancer in passive smokers.B. It will probably cause physical or emotional violence.C. It will make the smokers become more aggressive.D. It may lead to disharmony in family relations.35. What conclusion can we draw from the passage?A. Smoking is illegal anywhere in Thailand.B. Smokers are less likely to develop cancer than non-smokers.C. People who smoke at home in Thailand will be sent to prison.D. Thailand is committed to creating a smoke-free environment.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。

Our parents were both gone now；I took with me as many things they had left behind as I could.I was out walking one Saturday later that summer when something caught my eye - a pale green dress. Laid out on the pavement was stuff like earrings, glass candle-holders, books. Hanging on the fence behind were a few pairs of jeans and a green cotton dress.The woma n, the host o£ the stoop (门廊）sale, looked like she was getting rid of a past she didn’t need or want. A dress that was too big for her. A chest of drawers that took up too much space, space she needed, maybe, to heal ，recover, or grow.I wasn’t planning on buying anything really, but now I needed to show her that I appreciated her things and I would give them a safe home. Then I had my first stoop sale —I paid her 20 dollars for her green cotton dress and her blue candle-holder,From that day on, I became interested in stoop sales. Some of my favorite things are from someone else’s life. I find no joyin shopping at regular stores any more. I love trying to sniff out a memory from a bud vase or a drawer. It is comforting to know that someone has breathed and laughed inside a sweater before me.A few weeks ago, I carried my mother’s dresses to a friend’s stoop. These were her best items ，which were once worn by the most important person in my life. For many hours, I watched from across the path people advancing the stoop, some leaving with Mom1S dress. I used to think that her stuff was as forever sacred (神圣的）as my memory of her, I know now that once I love a scarf or shirt too dearly，it needs to finda new home. Even that green dress is long gone by now.31. T he author took her mother*s dresses after her death because ______A. she valued the things used by her momB. she didn’t want to throw them, awayC. she could sell them laterD. they were her mom’s best items32. F rom the passage, we know that ______.A. the things the author bought from the woman are too bigB. the author is fond of imagining others’ life experiencesC. the author will never shop at regular stores any moreD. t he author still keeps most of her mom’s things33. I n the last paragraph ，the author tries to tell us that ______.A her mom is the number one person in her lifeB. she didn’t really want to sell her mom’s dressesC. she still thinks of her mother quite oftenD. love doesn’t mean holding on to somethin g tightly34. I t can be inferred that the author will ______.A. not sell her own things at stoop salesB. keep her mom in her mind in another wayC. be sad about all the memory of her momD. move to another city for a new lifeBA father in Wuhan, nicknamed "Eagle Dad" for his controversial parenting style, has dismissed critics' claims that he pushes his 4-year-old son too hard.Police officer Wang Shaoyan came under the spotlight this month after his child took part in an 18-kilometer race in the Hubei provincial capital.Some parents attacked his methods of extreme physical training, while others reacted strongly to his admission that he regularly exposes the youngster to cold showers. "I just want my son to reach his full potential," Wang said, adding that。

Those who enjoy cooking.C. Those who are busy working.D. Those who like going camping.BMany people rush into the commitment of bringing home a four-legged family member, only to find out that they are not ready for a pet. This often results in the dog being turned over to a shelter where it may not find another home. This can be avoided if potential pet owners take the time to figure out if they are truly ready for the responsibilities of pet ownership.Being a responsible pet owner involves a financial commitment that goes beyond buying dog food. There are also parasite (寄生虫) prevention, boarding costs while traveling and the cost to care for the pet should it become ill or injured. That is not to say that one must be rich in order to have a dog, but it is important to be prepared for the expenses that come with being a pet owner.Another consideration is the time commitment. An owner away from home for 14 hours every day is not an ideal situation for a dog. A potential dog owner must also consider the time it takes to care for his or her pet, the time it takes to feed, walk, play with, bathe and clean up. Also, dogs require attention. Be prepared to spend time each day petting and playing with it.Dogs are dogs, and will act like dogs. This includes barking, digging, having accidents in the house and, possibly, destroying some of the owner’s prized possessions, such as furniture, shoes and cell phones. If the above would cause an owner to want to get rid ofthe dog, then he or she is not yet ready to be a pet owner. Many wonderful pets end up in shelters simply because they acted like dogs!4. Who might be qualified to be a dog owner, according to the text?A. Jim, who has a daughter sensitive to dog’s smell.B. Dick, a jobless teenager who can hardly pay his rent.C. Kari, a teacher who works eight hours a day.D. Steven, a business man who travels a lot on business.5. To be a responsible dog owner you need to do all the following EXCEPT _________A. finding a shelter for it when you are bored with itB. buying dog food and feeding itC. taking it to hospital when necessaryD. spending time each day playing with it6. What does the underlined part in the first paragraph probably mean?A. Rush to adopt a dog formally.B. Decide to be a pet owner without thinking about it carefully.C. Run into a pet shelter and take one home so quickly.D. Commit to buy a dog and take it home.7. What might be the best title for the text?A. Dogs Are DogsB. Pets Are Family MembersC. Have Time for a Dog?D. Ready for a Pet?CIn 2012, Kim Stemple was a special education teacher and a solid performer in her age group in marathons.And then she got sick.After three years of tests and treatments, the doctors figured out she has a rare mitochondrial disease that is causing progressive mental and physical health to go worse.They told her there was no cure and that this disease would take her life.Yet Stemple kept ruanning and competing in marathons.One day she was training for the Rock 'n' Roll Marathon in Las Vegas when she became too sick to travel.The usually outgoing Stemple sunk into disappointment.But then she received a gift-it was a marathon medal given to her by a friend.Stemple bung the medal near her hospital bed and it was an instant conversation starter with doctors, nurses and anyone who came to visit. That medal pulled Stemple out of her disappointment. And that gave Stemple the idea to start We Finish Together, an organization devoted to connecting runners who wish to donate medals with those who might appreciate them. Stemple pens a hand - written note of encouragement on each of the medals she gives away-Recipients have included hospital patients,residents of homeless shelters and even doctors and nurses who care for the very ill."This gives them a connection to someone,"says Stemple."If they receive a medal,they know soceone cares.Can a simple medal really make a difference?Joan Musarra said yes,who suffered from a serious disease."I opened my package containing my new medal and the notes of positive,warm thoughts.I was really excited,"she wrote to Stemple.It means so much to me to feel that I am not alone.”8. What can we infer about Stemple before she got too sick to exercise?A. She was doubtful,B. She was optimistic.C. She was courageous.D. She was down-hearted.9. What inspired Stemple to found We Finish Together?A. Her friend's gift.B. The medals she won.C. The patients' request.D. The encouragement from doctors.10. How does Stemple's organization help people in need?A. By having chats.B. By contributing money.C. By giving out recycled medals.D. By connecting their relatives.11.Why did Musarra write the letter to Stemple?iberilbtdenckreslesde eA.To ask for another medal.bie. bemlidoallB.To discuss about their illnesses.C.To relieve the symptoms of her illness.D.To show the medal's positive effect on her.DYou can relax if remembering everything isn't your strong suit. Recent research makes the case that being forgetful can be a strength--in fact selective memory can even be a sign of stronger intelligence.Traditional research on memory has focused on the advantages of remembering everything. But looking through years of recent memory data, researchers found that the neurobiology of forgetting 10 02001U0 can be just as important to our decision-making as what our minds choose to remember.Making intelligent decisions doesn't mean you need to have all the information at hand. It just means you need to hold onto the most valuable information. And that means clearing up space in your memory palace for the most up-to-date information on clients and situations. Our brains do this by creating new neurons(神经元) in our hippocampus, which have the power to overwrite(重写) existing memories that are influencing our decision-making.If you want to increase the number of new neurons in our brains' learning region, try exercising. Some aerobic exercise like jogging, power walking and swimming has been found to increase the number of neurons making important connections in our brains.When we forget the names of certain clients or details about old jobs, the brain is making a choice that these details don't matter. Although too much forgetfulness can be a cause for concern, the occasional lost detail can be a sign of a perfectly healthy memory system. The researchers found that our brains facilitate decision-making by stopping us from focusing too much on unimportant past details. Instead, the brain helps us remember the most important part of a conversation.We can get blamed for being absent-minded when we forget past events in perfect detail. These findings show us that total recall can be overvalued. Our brains are working smarter when they aim to remember the right stories, not every story.12. How can we help our brains produce more neurons?A. By having deep sleep frequently.B. By practicing swimming regularly.C. By doing mental labor repeatedly.D. By learning new skills constantly.13. Which of the following can best replace "facilitate" underlined in Paragraph 5?A. Postpone.B. Repeat.C. Promote.D. Abuse.14. What conclusion can be drawn from the text?A. Memory loss is well worth noticing.B. Decisions can't be made without memories.C. We shouldn't stress total recall too much.D. Forgetting is even more important than remembering.15. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Caution: do remember to forget.B. Why and how people choose to forget.C. Want to become smarter? Learn to forget.D. Being forgetful might mean you are smarter.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。

BWhen an editor called to ask if I could photograph a story about fireflies in Mexico, I didn’t check my schedule before I said yes. I’d seen these insects light up the forests in Tlaxcala once before, and I jumped at the chance to go back.While studying, I began exploring Mexico, crossing the country several times by bus. Now I work as a photojournalist in Mexico and along the border, documenting desperate situations that rarely seem to improve foreveryday Mexicans. Though necessary and important, news stories don’t reflect the Mexico that I fell for and that is home to so many people I love. An as signment focused on the country’s natural beauty was a welcome reprieve.I had three nights to film the magical scene in the forest. According to our guides, visitors are usually not allowed to photograph the fireflies because the presence of artificial light from electronics can affect their habits. As I started shooting, I adjusted my exposures constantly to account for the fading light. In order to get the composition that I wanted, I placed my tripod((三脚架)) on a steep, rocky path and had to steady it during the long exposures. Normally this wouldn’t be a big deal, but the fireflies were very interested in the camera and, by extension, in me. I stood completely still while they crawled(爬) all over me—my arms, my hair, my face.
