16、 mom reading me a storybook by my bedside. I was extremely inspired by the wonderful way the words sounded.I always wanted to know what my mom was reading. Hearing mom say, “I cant believe whats printed in the newspaper this morning,” made me want to grab it out of her hands and read it myself. I wa

17、nted to be like my mom and know all of the things she knew. So I carried around a book, and each night, just to be like her, I would pretend to be reading.This is how everyone learned to read. We would start off with sentences, then paragraphs, and then stories. It seemed an unending journey, but ev

18、en as a six-year-old girl I realized that knowing how to read could open many doors. When mom said, “The C-A-N-D-Y is hidden on the top shelf,” I knew where the candy was. My progress in reading raised my curiosity, and I wanted to know everything. I often found myself telling my mom to drive more s

19、lowly, so that I could read all of the road signs we passed.Most of my reading through primary, middle and high school was factual reading. I read for knowledge, and to make As on my tests. Sometimes, I would read a novel that was assigned, but I didnt enjoy this type of reading. I liked facts, thin

20、gs that are concrete. I thought anything abstract left too much room for argument.Now that Im growing and the world I once knew as being so simple is becoming more complex, I find myself needing a way to escape. By opening a novel, I can leave behind my burdens and enter into a wonderful and mysteri

21、ous world where I am now a new character. In these worlds I can become anyone. I dont have to write down what happened or what technique the author was using when he or she wrote this. I just read to relax.Were taught to read because its necessary for much of human understanding. Reading is an impor

22、tant part of my life. Reading satisfies my desire to keep learning. And Ive found that the possibilities that lie within books are limitless.24. Why did the author want to grab the newspaper out of moms hands？A. She wanted mom to read the news to her.B. She couldnt wait to tear the newspaper apart.C

23、. She couldnt help but stop mom from reading.D. She was eager to know what had happened.25.

24、to remind mom to obey traffic rules26.The author takes novel reading as a way to_.A. explore a mysterious landB. develop an interest in learningC. get away from a confusing worldD. learn about the adult world27. What could be the best title for the passage？A. The Pleasure of ReadingB. Growing Up wit

25、h ReadingC. The Magic of ReadingD. Reading Makes a Full ManCWhy are people interested in eating raw foods or whole foods? One reason is that eating these types of food reduces the risk of acid accumulation in your body.Raw and whole foods are usually digested more efficiently than cooked and refined

26、 foods. When we cook foods, we destroy the natural enzymes (酶) that are part of the food in its raw form. These enzymes were intended by nature to help us digest the food. When we consume food without these natural enzymes, our bodies either digest the food improperly or allow too many nutrients to

27、be absorbed into the bloodstream. In both instances, the result is obesity. When too many nutrients are absorbed at once, the body grows fat. Improperly digested food moves slowly through the digestive tract, where it becomes increasingly acidic. To protect its vital organs from this acidic waste, t

28、he body changes the acid into fat and stores it safely away from the organs.Processed foods contain chemical elements, which might confuse the appetite mechanism that tells us when weve had enough to eat; as a result, people often overeat. Processed foods also upset the digestive cycle. The body wil

29、l either identify these foods as allergens and then store them safely away from the organs as fat, or the remains of undigested food will become acidic and enter the bloodstream as acid waste, which will stick to the blood vessel walls and block the passage of vital oxygen and nutrients heading for

30、the bodys cells. The bodys metabolism (新陳代謝) becomes inactive, and the result is weight gain and obesity.The accumulation of acid in the digestive tract makes digestion increasingly inefficient. When that happens, even healthy foods can become acidic and the food allergies will become more common.To

31、 stop this vicious circle in its tracks, people need to consume food and supplements that will neutralize the acid already accumulated in body. Eating the right types of raw and whole foods can help. Its also important to restore your enzyme balance. You need to identify and avoid the foods that cau

32、se acid accumulation and consume the foods that increase enzyme production. If you truly want to change and help your body heal itself, you need to take an active approach. 28. It can be inferred from Para. 2 that _.A. foods with natural enzymes help people keep fitB. wed better be cautious about ra

33、w and whole foodsC. it is essential for people to protect their vital organsD. giving up cooked and refined foods is a new lifestyle29. Processed foods are unhealthy because they _.A. destroy bodys cellsB. stop bodys metabolism C. may lead to obesityD. are difficult to digest30. What is the main pur

34、pose of this passage?A. To warn people of the problem of obesity.B. To advocate eating more raw and whole foods.C. To inform people of the harm of processed foods.D. To tell the differences between raw and processed foods.31. The underline word “vicious” in the last paragraph probably means _.A. vio

35、lentB. progressiveC. positiveD. harmful DBefore uploading a photo of ourselves to social media, chances are that well use an app to smooth our skin, make our eyes look bigger, and lips fuller. With a couple of taps on our mobile phone, we can get a quick fix and present the “best” version of ourselv

36、es to the world. However, the problem is, when we simply edit our imperfections away, were also changing the way we look at ourselves. Last month, researchers published the article Selfies Living in the Era of Filtered(過(guò)濾的) Photographs. The article analyzed photo editing apps bad influences on peopl

37、es self-respect and their possibility to cause appearance anxieties. The researchers also warned that such apps make it difficult to tell the difference between reality and fantasy. “These apps allow one to change his or her appearance in minutes and follow an unrealistic standard of beauty,” the ar

38、ticle reads.In the past, people may have compared their looks to those of famous persons. But for todays young people, beauty standards are most likely set by what they see on social media. “From birth, they are born into an age of social platforms where their feelings of self-worth can be based pur

39、ely on the number of likes and followers that they have, which is linked to how good they look.” British cosmetic doctor Tijion Esho told The Independent. This is why many young people suffer an identity trouble when it comes to appearance.“Now youve got this daily comparison of your real self to th

40、is fake self that you present on social media.” Renee Engeln, a professor of psychology, told the HuffPost website. Engeln further pointed out that when people spend too much time making such comparisons, they may become “beauty sick” and find it difficult to accept what they actually look like. “Be

41、cause between you and the world is a mirror, its a mirror that travels with you everywhere. You cant seem to put it down.” she told The Washington Post. So when we look in a real mirror, we shouldnt think to ourselves, “Do I look as good as myself in the filtered photos?” Instead, we should think, “

42、I feel good; I have my health.”32. Before uploading a photo to social media, we will probably _.A. have an operation to make our eyes look bigger. B. use some cream to smooth our skinC. use an app to fix our photo D. edit our perfections away33. What can we learn from Paragraph 2?A. In many ways, ph

43、oto edition apps are beneficial to people.B. Photo edition apps are likely to cause peoples anxieties about their appearance.C. Photo edition apps can make us more beautiful.D. Photo edition apps help people judge realistic beauty.34. When it comes to appearance, why do many young people suffer an i

44、dentity trouble?A. Because they compare their looks to those of famous persons.B. Because beauty standards are set by social media.C. Because their feelings of self-worth depend on their own likes and dislikes.D. Because their feelings of self-worth depend on their appearance.35. According to Engeln

45、, we should _.A. feel good about what we actually look likeB. spend more time making comparison of our real self to fake self C. take a mirror with us everywhereD .try to look as good as ourselves in the filtered photos第二節(jié)（共5小題；每小題2分，滿(mǎn)分10分）根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容,從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。Much of the work in

46、 todays world is accomplished in teams. Most people believe the best way to build a great team is to gather a group of the most talented individuals. 36 Companies spend millions hiring top business people. Is their money well spent? 37 They focused on football, basketball and baseball. The results a

47、re mixed. For football and basketball, adding talented players to a team proves a good method, but only up to the point where 70% of the players are top talent; above that level, the teams performance begins to decline. Interestingly, this trend isnt evident in baseball, where additional individual

48、talent keeps improving the teams performance.To explain this phenomenon, the researchers explored the degree to which a good performance by a team requires its members to coordinate（協(xié)調(diào)）their actions. 38 In baseball, the performance of individual players is less dependent on teammates. They conclude

49、that when task interdependence is high, team performance will suffer when there is too much talent, while individual talent will have positive effects on team performance when task interdependence is lower. If a basketball star is, for example, trying to gain a high personal point total, he may take

50、 a shot himself when it would be better to pass the ball to a teammate, affecting the teams performance. Young children learning to play team sports are often told, There is no I in TEAM. 39 Another possibility is that when there is a lot of talent on a team, some players may make less effort. Just

51、as in a game of tug-of-war（拔河比賽）, whenever a person is added, everyone else pulls the rope with less force. 40 . An A-team may require a balancenot just A players, but a few generous B players as well.A. Its not a simple matter to determine the nature of talent.B. Sports team owners spend millions o

52、f dollars attracting top talent C. The group interaction and its effect drew the researchers attention.D. Stars apparently do not follow this basic principle of sportsmanship.E. Several recent studies examined the role of talent in the sports world.F. Building up a dream team is more complex than si

53、mply hiring the best talent.G. This task interdependence distinguishes baseball from football and basketball.第三部分 英語(yǔ)知識(shí)運(yùn)用（共兩節(jié)，滿(mǎn)分45分）第一節(jié) 完形填空（共20小題；每小題1.5分，滿(mǎn)分30分）閱讀下面短文，從短文后各題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)（A、B、C 和 D）中選出可以填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)，并在答題卡上將該項(xiàng)涂黑。A terrible fever made Anne Sullivan nearly lose her eyesight in her childhood，and
