第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和 D)中，选出最佳选项。

A

Two years ago I fell off the steps of a bus while climbing down and twisted my ankle. What followed was the usual way that is common in theUS. A few hours later I was treated and discharged(准许离开). What was uncommon was that I received extra care while going to ER(emergency room) and while I was in the hospital.

People were kind to me, men and women alike. They wheeled me into a private room instead of making me wait in the crowded waiting room. Someone came and asked me if the temperature is OK. When I said I was cold, he brought me a blanket and some magazines, in case I got bored. The nurses stopped by, making pleasant chats with me. People always came to ask me if I was in too much pain and if I needed anything.[来源:Z§xx§k.Com]

There were other people who were brought in while I was waiting. Patients groaning in pain were given the care they needed and then ignored. My injury was not the priority, so while I was not pushed to the front of the line, my several hours’ stay in the hospital was made as pleasant as possible. Why would people do that? They gave others care, while I got kindness.

Like any other good looking, healthy, independent person, man or woman, it looks as if the world is nicer to rich people, and the world is nicer to attractive people. I’m not in the dating world. It’s not about free drinks and gifts. It’s about people being nice.

I’m grateful for any positive behavior because I know this is temporary. Eventually I will join the groups of the elderly, the weak and the seemingly unattractive. One thing I refuse to do is to make excuses for being attractive. I know it’s temporary. I know it’s the luck of the draw and I know that I’m just one of the many. Does it matter to my husband, my mother and my kids what I look like? No. And I wouldn’t have it any other way.

21. What caused the author into deep thought?

      A. She was given less care in the hospital.

      B. Patients were only given physical care in the hospital.

      C. She didn’t get treatment immediately in the hospital.

      D. Other patients in the hospital didn’t get the same kindness as her.

22. What can we know about the author?

      A. She is an attractive lady.

     B. She shows great pity to old patients.

      C. She doesn’t like free drinks or gifts.   

      D. She was treated unequally in the hospital.

23. Which of the following does the author agree with?

      A. The hospital should treat attractive patients in preference to others.

    B. The positive behavior that being attractive brings can last long.

      C. Old patients should get much more care from the hospital.

      D. Being attractive means nothing to the people truly important to you.

B

Most penguins died after a huge iceberg grounded near their habitat in Antarctica，forcing them to make a long way to find food, scientists say in a newly published study. The B09B iceberg, measuring about 100 square kilometers, grounded inCommonwealthBayin East Antarctica in December 2010, the researchers fromAustraliaandNew Zealandwrote in the “Antarctic Science” journal.

The Adelie penguin population at the bay’sCapeDenisonwas measured to be about160,000 inFebruary 2011 but by December 2013 it had decreased to about 10,000, they said. The iceberg’s grounding meant the penguins had to walk more than 60 kilometers to find food, preventing their breeding attempts, said the researchers from theUniversityofNew South Wales’ ( UNSW) Climate Change Research Centre andNew Zealand’s West Penguin Trust.

“TheCapeDenisonpopulation could disappear completely within 20 years unless B09B relocates or the fast ice within the bay breaks out,” they wrote in the research published in. Fast ice is sea ice which forms and stays along the coast. During their survey in December 2013, the researchers said “hundreds of abandoned eggs were noted, and the freeze-dried dead bodies of previous season’s little penguins lay everywhere on the ground.”

“It’s strangely silent,” UNSW’s Chris Turney, who led the 2013 exploration, told the “Sydney Morning Herald Friday”. “The ones that we saw atCapeDenisonwere terribly low-spirited , almost unaware of your existence. The ones that are surviving are clearly struggling. They can hardly survive themselves, let alone give birth to the next generation. We saw lots of dead birds on the ground.”

In contrast, penguins living on the eastern edge of the bay just 8 kilometers from the fast ice edge were full of vigour, the scientists said. The researchers said the study had important influence on the wider East Antarctic if the current situation of increasing sea ice continued. Sea ice around Antarctica is increasing, in contrast to theArcticwhere global warming is causing ice to melt and icebergs to decrease. Scientists believe the growth in Antarctic sea ice is likely to be driven by changes in wind and local conditions before long.

24. What’s the main reason why the Adelie penguin population decreased?

      A. Many Adelie penguins died from the cold weather inAntarctica.

      B. They didn’t have enough time to give birth to and raise babies.

      C. The iceberg’s grounding killed a number of Adelie penguins.

      D. Adelie penguins lost their habitats so they couldn’t breed.

25. Which statement is correct according to the passage ?

In one study, college students who had important and reality-based conversations were more content than their peers who changed mere amusing remarks. But don’t deny small talks just yet.

Psychologists have long said that connecting with others is important to well-being, but just how much conversation we require is under investigation. In one study, researchers overheard(偷听) undergraduates for four days, and then cataloged each overheard conversation as either “small talks” ( “What do you have done? Popcorn? Yummy!”) or “substantive”(实质性的交流)(“So did they get divorced soon after?”). They found that the second type correlated（相关） with happiness --the happiest students had roughly twice as many substantive talks as the unhappiest ones. Small talks, meanwhile, made up only 10 percent of their conversation, versus almost 30 percent of their conversation among the least content students.

But don’t deny small talks just yet. Scientists believe that small talks could promote bonding. Researchers found that a small talk maintains closeness with loved ones after studying ring-tailed lemurs’(环尾弧猴) call-and-response conversations, similar to human small talks. Still, joking with strangers could brighten your morning. In a series of experiments, those bus-takers told to chat with others are reported a more pleasant journey than those told to “enjoy your solitude” or to do whatever they normally would. Small talks can also help us feel connected to our surroundings. People who smiled at, made eye contact with, and briefly spoke with their Starbucks baristas (咖啡师) reported a greater sense of belonging than those who rushed through the transaction.

Of course, some of us are better than others at turning small talks into something bigger. All the differences come to what researchers call “a curious mindset”.

So go ahead to talk and inquire. Small talks needn’t be idle. And being curious about others’ business isn’t all bad.

28. According to the second paragraph, we can know that       .

      A. we can deny small talks because substantive talks are more important.

      B. People who make more small talks are much happier than those making substantive talks.

      C. the well-being is built largely due to the percentage of our substantive talks.

D. the least content students have twice the amount of small talks than those content students.

29. The benefits of small talks are the following EXCEPT      .

      A. It can make the bonding between people much closer

      B. It can shorten the distance between strangers and make the journey pleasant

      C. It makes us feel connected with the surroundings

      D. You can get more free cups of coffee from Starbucks baristas

30. What’s the author’s attitude to small talks?     

A. Negative.               B. Supportive.            C. Neutral.              D. Critical.

31. The text mainly tells us that        .

   A. small talks are important in communication

   B. substantive talks make people happier than small talks

   C. small talks and substantive talks are equally important in life

   D. substantive talks are important in communication

      While engineers have made out fantastic products for sitting still—Munchery instead of walking to lunch, Uber instead of walking to the bus stop—services to make you move have been less appealing for consumers.

Fitbit’s stock price fell 18% after they announced their latest Apple Watch-like product named Fitbit Force. And new data suggests that, for the first time, death rates for large parts of the American population are rising, with signs pointing to inactivity and weight gain as the reasons. Our digital lifestyles and desk-based workplaces are contributing to serious health problems and could be shortening our lives, wellness firms want us to believe.

Northrup, president and co-founder of the connected exercise device TAO-Wellness, was inLas Vegasto promote TAO’s small device that encourages exercises. He lifts the device, about the size of an apple, and says workplaces should start encouraging on-site exercise.

Nick Mokey, the managing editor of Digital Trends, agrees. “I hate to break it to you, a room full of people sitting down, but sitting is killing you,” he says to the audience. They shift in their seats.

In the health section of the Sands Exposition Hall, people are selling devices made by LifeSpan Fitness. They say they’re the largest seller of treadmill（跑步机） desks in the US. At the center of their exhibition area is a Bike Desk, which looks like three gym bikes attached to a table. That’s for people who just want to sit and enjoy conversation.

Treadmill desk-related shame is their biggest obstacle, they say when LifeSpan installs two in opposite ends of the same building, neither tends to get used. If the company installs two next to each other, people will use them. “You don’t want to be so noticeable, especially at work,” company spokesman James Lowe says. What’s more, what if we get sweaty using a treadmill in the office?

32. According to new data, the rising death rates inAmericaare caused by_____.

   A. lack of exercise                                  B. serious pollution

   C. high work pressure                               D. poor indoor environment

33. What can we learn about the device TAO-Wellness?

   A. It is a kind of treadmill desk.                    B. It is comparatively small in size

   C. It is created by LifeSpan Fitness.               D. It is designed for outdoor exercise.

34. Which of the following may cause more sitting?

   A.TAO-Wellness.        B. Fitbit Force.           C. Bike Desk.          D. Munchery

35. What is the biggest problem with the treadmill desk?

   A. It takes up too much space.                    B. It is not comfortable to use

   C. It may cause awkwardness                      D. It will make employees tired

 

第二节 （共5小题; 每小题2分，满分10分）

You want to be happy, who doesn’t? However, whether you procrastinate(拖延), feed negative self-talk, or don’t rest your mind, you lower your potential to create happiness.

Procrastination

You aren’t in deadly danger if you procrastinate, but your system doesn’t always take this information on board. You still react as though you are anxious and produce stress chemicals.      36    Your ability to see the big picture of life is reduced when you procrastinate. Therefore, you don’t see as much joy.

Negative self-talk

     37    Taking notice of what goes on in your head and putting positive change in action makes negative self-talk useful. Nevertheless, most people don’t recognize negative self-talk as a pointer; they feed it until it grows out of control.

     38   

Your mind contains an incredible amount of information and is more powerful than any computer many times over. However, if you give it too many tasks, you shut out peace of mind.      39    Thought-overload results in physical symptoms, like a racing heart and shortness of breath. Additionally, you might have sleeplessness, digestive problems and other symptoms of stress that reduce your happiness.

If you want to increase the odds of being happy, don’t procrastinate.      40     Similarly, don’t overload your mind, give it a rest and you will soon notice you are happier.

      A. Not resting your mind.

      B. Using your brain regularly.

      C. It is a human weakness to put things off.

      D. At the same time, don’t feed negative self-talk.

      E. Self-talk can tell you how healthy you are emotionally.

      F. Additionally, as your system is nervous physically, your mind also closes off a little.

      G. Thinking about many things at once leads to a feeling of anxiety.

I was in the seventh grade. In a school of     61     ( main ) white students, I didn’t fit in anywhere.

One afternoon, I was walking with Evan. As we turned a corner, Evan stopped      64     ( talk ) to me, “Why are you talking to me? I am not your friend.” Then he kept walking and never looked back.     65    ( shock ) by his words, I stood with tears in my eyes .

Dear Mr. Wang,

   I’m writing to tell you a good piece of news and express my thanks for helping me improve my English.

   Now, I’m a freshman in South China Normal University. That’s all because of our careful guidance. Without your help, I wouldn’t have made such great progress in English, let alone been admitted to a good university. So I’m very grateful to you for that. I still remember the days when you taught me English in Grade 3 of senior school. My English was once poor, but you were very patient with me and tried to tutor me after class. It was your help and encouragement that made my dream come true.

From the bottom of my heart, I hope more and more of your students can go to their ideal colleges. Wish you a healthy body and a happy life!

Again, I sincerely thank you for your help!

                                                                Yours,

                                                                Li Hua
