This sometimes happens with humans also. But I have found that my weakness brings out the kindness in people. I see it every day when people hold doors for me, pour cream into my coffee, or help me to put on my coat. And I have discovered that it makes them happy.From my wheelchair experience, I see the best in people, but sometimes I feel sad because those who appear independent miss the kindness I see daily. They don’t get to see this soft side of others. Often, we try every way possible to avoid showing our weakness, which includes a lot of pretending. But only when we stop pretending we’re brave or strong do we allow people to show the kindness that’s in them.Last month, when I was driving home on a busy highway, I began to feel unwell and drove more slowly than usual. People behind me began to get impatient and angry, with some speeding up alongside me, horning (按喇叭) or even shouting at me. At that moment I decided to do something I had never done in twenty-four years of driving. I put on the car flashlights and drove on at a really low speed.No more angry shouts and no more horns!When I put on my flashlights, I was saying to other drivers, “I have a problem here. I am weak and doing the best I can.” And everyone understood. Several times, I saw drivers who wanted to pass. They couldn’t get around me because of the stream of passing traffic. But instead of getting impatient and angry, they waited, knowing the driver in front of them was in some way weak.Sometimes situations call for us to act strong and brave even when we don’t feel that way. But those are few and far between. More often, it would be better if we don’t pretend we feel strong when we feel weak or pretend that we are brave when we are scared.25．The author feels sad sometimes because .A．he has a soft heart B．some people fail to see the kindness in others C．some people pretend to be kind D．he relies much on others26．What did the other drivers do when they saw the flashlights?A．They waited with patience.B．They speeded up to pass.C．They tried their best to help.D．They put on their flashlights too.27．Which of the following is the best title of this passage?A．A Wheelchair Experience.B．A Driving ExperienceC．Weakness and Strength D．Weakness and Kindness.CLet me tell you, Johnson, this is going to be the biggest development in animal-imitative cybernetics (动物模仿控制学) since Hayes pioneered the field way back in 2014. Everybody’s going to want a piece of my discovery! Everyone! Even United States of Earth Defense! I’m going to be the richest man alive!I can see you don’t share my excitement yet. Just wait, old friend. Accompany me to my lab, and we will see who has the last laugh. You’ll be begging me to take you on as a lab assistant after I...Oh, here we are. You first, my good man. You see, I had already come up with the perfect cybernetic engine, able to copy any life form. The question was, which creature would be the best show of my discovery? I’ve used a life form nobody’s considered for cybernetics. It is powerful, graceful, intelligent, and best of all people love it. I chose the tiger!Go on, have a glance! Ha! Don’t look so shocked, Johnson. I leave it powered down when I’m not testing it. It is rather great, though. Yes, all the latest technology, including claws ( 爪) I had made from vanadium alloy(合金). It cuts through steel like its wet cardboard. The process that I used to get its mind in the computer will be enough to ensure me fame and fortune.Huh? It did move, didn’t it? I guess I left it on yesterday. No, don’t look so nervous; I can shut off its main power with this remote(遥控器)right here. Nothing to worry about. I really don’t think it’s regarding you as a meal. Be reasonable, old...Oh, God! Johnson! The remote, where is it? Where?!Ah, there we go! Too late to save Johnson, though. What a pity. Better safe than sorry. There! God, what a mess. Even worse, I can’t call the police now; the bad publicity would overshadow my breakthrough, and certainly frighten the investors. I’ve got to get rid of the body secretly, somehow. I could bury it, but I might be seen. I could burn it, but the smoke would be very doubtful. What to do?What to...I wonder...How fast can this cat eat?28．What’s the author’s attitude towards his invention?A．Proud.B．Disappointed.C．Cheerful.D．Astonished.29．It can be inferred that the invention in the passage is a____.A．surprise B．successC．failure D．wonder30．According to the passage, what was the worst result of this invention?A．He couldn’t get rid of his friend’s body.B．The robot tiger killed his friend.C．He couldn’t control the robot tiger.D．The robot tiger had to be improved.31．What does the last sentence “I wonder...How fast can this cat eat” suggest?A．The writer wanted to know if he could find a cat to eat John’s body.B．The writer wondered how fast this cat could eat a person.C．The writer wanted to test whether this machine tiger is powerful enough.D．The writer wanted to cover up the facts that his experiment is a failure.DReflecting(回忆) on the past about those decisions or actions that can’t be reversed(推翻) and being occupied with thoughts of “What if?” is no way to live. But there are a few things in life I’d probably do differently if I had the chance.I once majored in architecture — something I had been crazy about for as long as I could remember — and then I suddenly had a change of heart. I made an appointment with my adviser, and told him I was no longer certain I wanted to pursue a career in architecture.“Don’t give up on your childhood dream!” “He’s right,” I thought. “I should just stick it out and I shouldn’t disappoint the little girl who once loved architecture.”It was awful. I wasagonized, holding on to a childhood dream that had long since faded. When I talked with a friend about it a year later, he asked: “Right now, what do you want to do with your life?” That’s when I came to the realization that dreams change over time and that you should give up the childhood dream if it’s not what you want as an adult. Luckily, it wasn’t too late. After some serious thought, I changed my major to journalism. It wasn’t something I had always imagined myself pursuing — but at that moment, it was what I wanted.We grow up, and sometimes our dreams change — and that’s perfectly OK. You just need to ask yourself every once in a while, “Is this still what I want?” If the answer is no, move on and start chasing a new one.32．What does the author suggest in Paragraph 1?A．Past actions should be treasured.B．It’s unwise to regret all the time.C．Life would be dull without “What if?”D．We make better decisions by looking back. 33．What does the underlined word “agonized” in Paragraph 4 mean?A．Proud B．Determined C．Unregretful D．Painful34．Why didn’t the author change her major immediately?A．Changing a major was uncommonB．Her advisor forced her not to do thatC．She thought it a betrayal(背叛) of her younger selfD．She didn’t want her childhood dream to fade.35．What lesson did the author learn from the experience?A．Don’t follow others’ career advice B．It’s OK to switch to our real love. C．Improve us before realizing our dream D．Childhood dreams are hard to insist on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。

We were standing in line, waiting to be 37 , when all of a sudden people around us began to back away from their position.As I 38 I smelt a terrible “dirty body” smell, and there standing behind me were two poor homeless men.

It doesn’t matter where you live—in the middle of a modern city, or a faraway village—the chances that you will be disturbed by jet aeroplanes, transistor radios, oil-powered engines, etc. are almost everywhere .We seem to be get ting used to noise, too. Some people feel quite lonely without background music while they are working.Scientific tests have shown that total silence can be very frightening experience for human beings. However ,some people enjoy listening to pop music which is very loud, and this can do harm to their eardrums(耳鼓).The noise level in some disc o is far above the usual safety level for heavy industrial areas.One recent report about noise and concentration(专心) suggested thatalthough a lot of people say that any noise disturbs their concentration, what really affects their ability to concentrate is a change in the level of noise. It goes on to say that a backgr ound noise, which doesn’t change too much (music, for example) may even help people to concentrate.56. The best title for this passage is _______________.A. Background NoiseB. Noisy LifeC. Disturbed ConcentrationD. Changeable Noise57.

DeLuca, then 17, visited Peter Buck, a family friend. Buck asked DeLuca about his plans for the future. “I’m goin g to college, but I need a way to pay for it,” DeLuca recalls saying. “Buck said ‘you should open a sandwich shop.’”That afternoon, they agreed to be partners. And they set a goal: to open 32 stores in ten years. After doing some research, Buck wrote a check for $1,000. DeLuca rented a storefront(店面) in Connecticut, and when they couldn’t cover their start-up costs, Buck kicked in another $1,000.But business didn’t go smoothly as they expected. DeLuca says, “After six months, we were doing poorly, but we didn’t know how badly, because we didn’t have any financial controls.” All he and Buck knew was that their sales were lower than their costs.DeLuca was managing the store and going to the University of Bridgeport at the same time. Buck was working at his day job as a nuclear physicist in New York. They’d meet Monday evenings and brainstorm ideas for keeping the business running. “We convinced ourselves to open a second store. We figured we could tell the public. ‘We are so successful, we are opening a sec ond store.’” And they did –in the spring of 1966. Still, it was a lot of learning by trial and error.But the partners ‘learn-as-you-go’ approach turned out to be their greatest strength. Every Friday, DeLuca would drive around and hand-deliver the checks to pay their suppliers. “It probably took me two and a half hours and it wasn’t necessary, but as a result, the suppliers got to know me very well, and the personal relationships established really helped out.” DeLuca says.And having a goal was also imp ortant. “There are so many problems that can get you down. You just have to keep working toward your goal.” DeLuca adds.DeLuca ended up founding Subway sandwich, the multimillion-dollar restaurant chain.61. DeLuca opened the first sandwich shop in order to .A. pay for his college educationB. support his familyC. help his partner expand businessD. do some research62. Which of the following is true of Buck?A. He was a professor of business administration.B. He put money into the sandwich business.C. He was studying at the University of Bridgeport.D. He rented a storefront for DeLuca.63. What can we learn about their first shop?A. It was located in an unfavorable place.B. It lowered the prices to promote sales.C. It lacked control over the quality of sandwichesD.. It made no profits due to poor management.64. They decided to open a second store because they .A. had enough money to do itB. had succeeded in their businessC. wanted to make believe that they were successfulD. wished to meet the increasing demand of customers65. What contributes most to their success according to the author?A. Opening chain stores.B. Making friends with suppliers.C. Finding a good partner.D. Learning by trial and error.CThe Yale Peabody Museum is open：Monday through Saturday 10：00 a．m. to 5：00 p．m.Sunday Noon to 5：00 p．m.The Museum is closed on New Year’s Day, Easter Sunday, Independence Day, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Eve, and Christmas Day.Admission Fees：$9.00 Adults$8.00 Senior citizens 65 years and over$5.00 Children ages 3 through 18, and college students with ID$4.00 Group admissionTo receive this reduced admission, groups must make a reservation at least 2 weekdays in advance.

Like the sportsman who must train to allow the body to respond to difficult times, the memory needs its own special training in order to stay in “shape” and improve.There are many factors that can cause poor memory like insomnia (失眠), depression and alcohol. However, there are simple ways which you can follow to keep your memory in shape and actually help you to improve your memory’s condition and performance.Never stop learning. Look for topics that interest you and really get involved in learning new information about them. Reading and attendinglectures or programs are sources of continuous education of your brain with beneficial results to your memory.Develop your social and family relationships. The more social you are, the better it is for your brain. Studies have shown that the brain and heart have a lot to gain from good family and social relationships.Exercise your mind with games. The more you use your brain, the more you help your memory stay in shape. There are many games that can make you an intelligent person as well as entertain you such as chess, puzzles and board games.Exercise physically can improve your memory. This type of exercise improves the circulatory （血液循环的） system. Even the simple but regular daily exercise such as fast walking can improve the heart and oxygenation（供氧）of the brain. The benefits of exercise affect positively many body systems, as well as our memory and other cognitive （认知的） capabilities.Eat more fruit and vegetables. What we eat every day affects the performance and long-term condition of our memory. Fruit and vegetables are an excellent source of antioxidants（抗氧化剂） and vitamins that can help and benefit the nervous system.So our memory is like a sportsman. The more we practice our brains and memory, the better their performance will be.Title: How to improve memorySection B (10 marks )Directions : Read the following passage.

Shen and Hagar gradually chased the animal back intro the woods.“We also moved slowly to our vehicle , as we waved our fists and bags ,pretending we wanted to fight with it ,”Shen said .“The vehicle wasn’tfar away but it felt like it took us a century to travel the shortjourney .”“Any hes itation , at any moment , even a second delay , would haveresulted in certain death for Julien. The cougar was just about to breakhis neck and carry him away to be eaten in the forest.”Hagar said.

Discovering the proper classification for each piece of household waste before throwing it out—and avoiding fines of up to 50,000 yuan—has become as simple as taking a photothanks to the efforts of a group of young programmers.They have applied speech and picture recognition technologies to apps and other smartphone services to guide Shanghai residents through China's first mandatory garbage-separation plan. The rules require every citizen and institution to classify waste into four categories-recyclables, kitchen waste, hazardous waste and residual waste—with a long list of items in each category. Previously, everything went into one dustbin, and the dramatic change has made many Shanghai residents worried. Many residents say they are struggling to master the details quickly.To smooth the process and raise public awareness, Shanghai government launched a campaign featuring posters and TV programs introducing garbage-sorting techniques.“It has become a lasting topic for my family's mealtime discussions,” 27-year-old Shanghai resident Fang Chengxiang said. He said they used the Internet to find out how to classify waste properly. “I would often Baidu the name if I got confused,” Fang said, referring to China's leading search engine.Most of the apps and services, which began springing up last month in app stores, on messaging tool WeChat and mobile payment service Alipay, allow users to type in the name of waste to identify which category it belongs to.One of the apps using speech recognition is What Garbage, whose downloads topped 130,000 in the first week after it was released early this month.It was designed by zzz studio, a team made up of a programmer, an advertising art director and a visual designer. Since they all have 996 jobs—meaning they work from 9 am to 9 pm six days a week—the app was designed in what little spare time they have.Liu Yiyi, 23, a member of the studio, said it was designed to help people through the transition period, and it especially helps people sort ambiguous items. Actually, Liu Yiyi added, as Chinese become accustomed to rules, people will use the apps less often.（1）What can we learn about the garbage-separation plan?A.The plan can only be carried out in Shanghai.B.The plan has benefited many cities.C.Some apps can be used to help carry out the plan.D.The plan initially came out from large cities.（2）Why did the government use social media to introduce classifying techniques?A.To make the plan easier to carry out.B.To draw main media’s attentionC.To stress the importance of sorting garbage.D.To help people master the garbage details.（3）What can we know according to Liu Yiyi?A.These apps can only help sort ambiguous items.B.The transition period will last a long time.C.Less people will use these apps in the future.D.Chinese will become accustomed to these apps.（4）What’s the main idea of this text?A.Significance of garbage-separation plan.B.Benefits of garbage-separation plan.C.Carrying our garbage-classification plan is difficult.D.Young programmers make garbage-classification easy.3. Do you think alien beings exist somewhere in the universe? It seems like Mars, our closest neighbor, has inspired the most science fiction as the place where aliens are most likely to come from. Recent Mars probes (探测) have shown us that there is no life on that planet—at least not now. But that does not mean that life does not exist elsewhere—after all, the universe is really big. A lot of scientific research is going on in the search for “extraterrestrial life”.Think about it—why should the seven billion people on this little planet be the only living beings in the universe? It would, in fact, seem logical that this is not the case. So scientific research in this matter is based around the idea of finding other planets that have environments that can support life —environments similar to the Earth. The search is on for the evidence of the existence, or earlier existence of life: from very wise beings to simple organisms (有机物).So far, there have been a number of theories as to which planetary bodies may have an atmosphere that can support such life and therefore deserve closer attention. As for places within our own Milky Way Galaxy, it has been assumed over the decades that Mars and Venus, as well as some of the moons of Jupiter and Saturn, may have been hosts for life. Now, as technologies have improved and we can obtain measurements of the composition of the atmosphere on extra-solar planets, the chances of finding “alien” life forms are increasing.There has been a theory that some of the planets in the habitable zone of the red dwarf star Gliese 581 may be able to support life. In 2007, scientists discovered exoplanet Gliese 581c—and felt that its atmosphere was most suitable for supporting life. But further research revealed that it would not. Now, attention has been turned to Gliese 581d, at the outer edge of the star’s habitable zone. The main standards for deciding whether a planetary body can be life-supporting are atmospheric conditions which allow the existence of water. Gliese 581 is about 20. 4 light years away from the Earth, so even if life does exist there, the distance would mean that communication would be unlikely.Having said this—who says alien life forms (if they exist) need water?（1）What does the underlined part in Paragraph 1 mean?A.The evidence of the existence of life.B.Life existing outside of the Earth.C.Creatures known from science fictions.D.Other faraway planets in the universe.（2）What makes it possible for people to find “alien beings”?A.Atmospheric conditions.B.Modern scientific theories.C.Advanced technologies.D.Environments similar to the Earth.（3）From the passage, we know that _________.A.it is not certain whether alien life forms need water or notB.the atmosphere of Gliese 581c was most suitable for lifeC.the distance of 20. 4 light years makes it impossible to find life on Gliese 581dD.the 7 billion people on the Earth are the only beings in the universe（4）Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A.Is Mars Suitable for Life?B.Do Aliens Exist?C.Can We Communicate with Aliens?D.Are Alien Life Forms Various?4. One of the most striking findings of a recent questionnaire 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 people finding it increasingly difficult to start and keep close relationships （关系）? 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 nowadays couples benefit in different ways from relationships．Women no longer rely upon partners for economic security（安全性）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 give up their independence．In theory, finding a partner should be much simpler these days．Only a few generations ago, your choiceof soul mate was limited by geography, social customs 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 doctor 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 traditions have been replaced by an even tighter restriction: the limitation of choice．The expectations of partners are made greater to an unmanageable degree: good looks, impressive salary, kind to grandmother, and so on．There is no room for error in the first impression．We think that a relationship can be perfect．If it isn't, it is intended to be thrown away．We work to protect ourselves against future heartache and don't put in the hardemotional labor needed to build a strong relationship．Twelve﹣hour work at the office makes relaxed after﹣hours dating（约会） difficult．The cost of housing and child﹣raising creates pressure to have a stable（稳定的）income and career before a life partnership．（1）．Nowadays，in a family，________．A.couples share the burdensB.men begin to depend on womenC.men are responsible for houseworkD.couples can't get along together．（2）．People don't want to give up their independence because________．A.they want to have more choicesB.they can't bear arranged marriagesC.they don't want to follow traditionsD.they think they can live happily alone．（3）．People are not eager to date because________．A.it takes them too much energy to workB.it requires luck to build a strong relationshipC.it needs faith（信心）to have a life partnershipD.it causes mental problems to find a life partner．（4）．Which of the following can best describe the main idea of the passage？________A.People should spend more money on marriage today．B.The expectations of partners and financial （经济的）pressure may prevent a relationship．C.Independence is much more important than love．D.Even a perfect marriage can be given up for the sake of independence．二、七选五You put a great deal of effort into reaching the college of your choice．It's time to get started．But what's next? Beginning college can be an exciting but awkward time．Follow these tips to adjust to your new life rapidly and make the most of your college experience．●To save time and money, use the college's bus system．Taking the bus to school is quick, easy and free in most college towns．You won't have to locate or afford a place to park, either．It's also a good way to be environmentally aware．●Save pennies on books by waiting until class starts．You might not even need all of the recommended books．New textbooks cost an arm and a leg．Try buying used textbooks﹣it's a sure fair way to save money and serves the purpose as well．●Do never look at college life as an endless series of parties and social activities．But there is a whole lot more to college if you're serious about graduating．Having a good college experience is all about balancing work and fun．●Be aware that your living environment can largely affect your academic success．If the dorm doesn't suit you, consider living at home with your family or renting your own apartment．The best location for your studies isn't always your dorm．Find a quiet area, like the library, to do your work．Alternatively, buy some headphones that block out noise．●Be mindful of your diet．Make healthy food choices and watch what you eat．Avoid foods that are processed or high in sugar．The"freshman 15"is real．Many college students gain at least 15pounds during their freshmen year．●While electives（选修课） can be helpful when figuring out your major, you shouldn't entirely rely on them．Clubs and other organizations exist around．Get involved．Make sure, though, that you still have time to study．Having_too_much_on_your_plate can hurt your grades．（1）．Which of the following ideas can be financially wise？________A.Buying used books．B.Driving your own car．C.Renting an apartment．D.Attending activities．（2）．In the text，freshmen are repeatedly warned against________．A.physical problems．B.academic failures．C.traffic accidents．D.social activities．（3）．The"freshman 15"tells the fact that some freshmen________．A.have little regular physical exercise．B.attend limited activities on campus．C.focus less on their academic work．D.take relaxed attitudes to their diets．（4）．The underlined phrase"Having too much on your plate"probably refers to________．A.eating too many unhealthy foods．ing too much money for meals．C.taking part in too many afterclass activities．D.taking an elective that has too many students．三、完形填空I always had a dream. In it, I was a little girl again, rushing about, trying to get _______forschool. Deep inside I knew _______it came from. It was some unfinished_______in my life. As a kid I loved school. Most of all I_______to receive my diploma. That seemedmore_______even than getting married. But at 15, I had to _______because my parents couldn’t afford my _______.

It is the first US city to take such a strong step to keep this technology under control.When a computer system identifies a person from their face in a picture, it’s called “facial recognition” (面部识别). Many police departments use facial recognition. It can be helpful when the police just have a picture of a suspect (嫌疑犯）,but no other information. Normally, even with facial recognition the police must have other proof showing that a person is guilty. But many people say facial recognition programs aren’t good enough yet. The programs can usually recognize white men. But they’re not so good at identifying women and people with darker skin. They worry that “false matches” --- when the computer thinks it has identified a person, but it’s wrong --- will make innocent (无罪的) people look like criminals.For companies like Amazon and Microsoft, facial recognition is a big business. Amazon has worked hard to sell their facial recognition to police departments around the US. Microsoft sells tools that allow prisons to watch people inside.To work well, facial recognition programs must have a great number of pictures of people. But most people whose pictures are in the systems never gave permission (许可) for their pictures to be used.Many people worry that using computers to identify or track people will decrease freedom. Now, in many places, facial recognition is used to keep people under control and much of public life is watched on security cameras. Similarly, many cities in America and Europe are also almost completely covered by security cameras. Police officers now often wear cameras on their bodies, recording all the time. It’s usually not clear when governments are using facial recognition and how they are using it.Facial recognition is already being used at airports throughout Europe and in the US. The Department of Homeland Security expects to have picture of 97% of the people flying out of the country in the next four years.As these powerful computer programs become more common, San Francisco’s move to control facial recognition is an unusual and strong move to limit the way governments use computers to watch and control people.28.Why do people worry about facial recognition programs?A.They cannot multiply people’s responsibility.B.They cannot help the police identify good people.C.They will mistake innocent people for bad people.D.They will identify black people instead of white people.29.How can facial recognition programs function effectively?panies should work with each other.B.People should have more pictures taken.C.They should include as many pictures as possible.D.Police departments and prisons should be under control.30.What make people feel their freedom is on the decrease?A.There are the police everywhere.B. A lot of security cameras are used.C. More people are forced to stay at home.D. Governments focus more on facial recognition.31. What’s San Francisco’s attitude towards government workers using facial recognition?A. DisapprovingB. SupportiveC. DoubtfulD. Optimistic5.（8分）DMany people think of the brain as a mystery（神秘）．They don’t know much about intelligence and how it works．When they think about what intelligence is, many people believe that a person is born either smart, average, or dumb（愚笨的）—and stays that way for life．But new research shows that the brain is more like a muscle — it changes and gets stronger when you use it．And scientists have been able to show just how the brain grows and gets stronger when you learn．Everyone knows that when you lift weights, your muscles get bigger and you get stronger.A person who can’t lift 20 pounds when they start exercising can get strong enough to lift 100 pounds after working out for a long time．That’s because the muscles become larger and stronger with exercise．And when you stop exercising, the muscles shrink（萎缩）and you get weaker．That’s why people say, “Use it or lose it!”But most people don’t know that when they practice and learn new things, parts of their brain change and get larger a lot like muscles do when they exercise．Inside the cortex (脑皮层)of the brain are billions of tiny nerve cells（神经细胞）．Communication between these brain cells is what allows us to think and solve problems．When you learn new things, these tiny connections in the brain actually multiply and get stronger．The more you challenge your mind to learn, the more your brain cells grow．Then, things that you once found very hard or even impossible to do seem to become easy．The result is a stronger and smarter brain．Scientists started thinking that the human brain could develop and change when they studied animals’ brains．They found out that animals who lived in a challenging environment, with other animals and toys to play with, were more “aptitudinal”—they were better at solving problems and learning new things．32．What’s the main idea of the passage?A．Scientists show strong interest in what intelligence is．B．A new study shows the brain can be developed like a muscle．C．Both muscles and the brain are important to humans．D．Intelligence exists in both humans and animals．33．By using such numbers as 20 and 100 in Paragraph 2,the author tries to provethat ．A．exercise plays an important role in keeping muscles strongerB．exercise is more important to people than most of the animalsC．everyone can keep healthy if they do enough exercisesD．everyone should learn as many new things as possible34．Like stronger muscles come from exercise, smarter brains need ．A．to be well taken care of B．a good communication between personsC．help from scientists D．our learning new things35．What does the underlined word “aptitudinal” in the last paragraph probably mean? A．Strong B．Lovely C．Smart D．Active三、阅读七选五（本题共计1小题，总分10分）6.（10分）How to manage your email inbox36 .We love it and we hate it. We need it and want it, but too often the price we pay is that. As certain as the sun will rise, our inboxes will be full by mid-morning.Honestly, we’ve done it to ourselves. We depend too much on it to communicate and as a result, we have made ourselves pay attention to every one of them. This is terrible, 37 Every time an e-mail interrupts you, it costs time, money, and brainpower.Here are some of my best tips to manage emails:38 You can’t get into work if you check emails every ten minutes. Instead, you should set certain times to check your inbox, like the top of every hour or every 90 minutes. Set a timer on your phone and stick to it.Scan your inbox. 39 At the same time, leave out everything that is unnecessary and answer timely requests first.40 Instead of creating an email, try speaking with the person you want to communicate with. Often, a five-minute conversation on the line is much better than an email.e a phone.B.Set a schedule.C.Talk to the person.D.Email is our friend and the enemy.E.Because email can interrupt our work and life.F.Looking through the emails quickly can save your time.G.Email is becoming more and more important in our lives四、完形填空（本题共计1小题，总分30分）7.（30分）I’ve read lots of stories about family memories．In those 41, I’ve found voice of sadness and longing．It’s true that so much in our daily lives makes us 42 all the time．We find ourselves with less and less time to spend with our 43and friends．I’ve had the same 44 myself．I used to have 45times with my grandfather when we lived together．When I was very young, I often enjoyed spending time in his 46, watching the flowers and watering the fruit trees．But as I grew up, I 47 became “selfish”．Once, when I was 6, we went shopping together．As we took the wrong bus and ended up getting 48 , unable to find our way back, I couldn’t stay 49and shouted rudely in his face．I was so stubborn that I wouldn’t say sorry 50 returning home, thinking I had done nothing wrong．Now I 51 how ridiculous I was at the time!
