12、usician, he said.Last week, Gupta was recognized for being a founder and the artistic director of Street Symphony. The group has performed at homeless shelters, jails and halfway houses for about eight years. Gupta is among the 25 winners of the 2018 MacArthur Fellowship, commonly known as the “geni

13、us grant.” Each winner will receive $625,000 over five years to use as they wish. The money is coming from a private group, the John Dand Katherine T. MacArthur Foundation. It awards grants (補助金)to people whose work it considers exceptional and that “inspires hope in us all.” Gupta said he got the i

14、dea for Street Symphony while teaching Nathaniel Ayers, a trained musician whose mental illness led to homelessness.The 31-year-old grant winner said he does not know yet how he will spend the money. He has been a performer since age seven and the award will give him space to breathe, plan and look

15、ahead.”Another winner is Rebecca Sandefur, an associate professor of sociology and law in the University of Illinois. The Associated Press says her research actively supports new ways to involve poor communities in the U.S. justice system.47-year-old Sandefur created the first national mapping of ci

16、vil legal aid providers. It shows which states had the financial resources to provide such aid and which did not. She also found that the cost of legal services is only one of the things preventing poor people from getting lawyers. Among the others are fears about unfairness in the legal system. San

Being sociable looks like a good way to add years to your life. Relationships with famil

21、y, friends, neighbors, even pets, will all do the trick, but the biggest longevity (長壽) boost seems to come from marriage or an equal relationship. The effect was first noted in 1858 by William Farr, who wrote in 1858 by William Farr, who wrote that widows and widowers (鰥夫) were at a much higher ris

22、k of dying than their married peers. Studies since then suggest that marriage could add as much as seven years to a mans life and two to a womans, The effect holds for all causes of death, whether illness, accident or self-harm.Even though the odds are stacked against you (the conditions are not fav

23、ourable to you), marriage can more than compensate. Linda Waite of the University of Chicago has found that a married older man with heart disease can expect to live nearly four years longer than an unmarried man with a healthy heart. Likewise, a married man who smokes more than a pack a day is like

24、ly to live as long as a divorced man who doesnt smoke. Theres a less pleasantside, however, as partners are more likely to become ill or die in the couple of years following their spouses; death, and caring for a spouse with mental disorder can leave you with some of the same severe problems. Even s

25、o, the odds favour marriage. In a 30-year study of more than 10,000 people, Nicholas Christakis of Harvard Medical School describes how all kinds of social networks have similar effects.So how does it work? The effects are complex, affected by socioeconomic factor, health-service provision, emotiona

26、l support and other more physiological mechanisms (機制). For example, social contact can boost development of the brain and immune system, leading to better health and less chance of depression later in life. People in supportive relationships may handle stress better. Then there are the psychologica

27、l benefits of a supportive partner.A life partner, children and good friends are all recommended if you aim to live to 100. The best social network is still being mapped out, but Christakis says: “People are interconnected so their health is interconnected.”1、William Farrs study and other studies sh

28、ow that _.Asocial life provides an effective cure for illnessBbeing sociable helps improve ones quality of lifeCwomen benefit more than men from marriageDmarriage contributes a great deal to longevity2、What does the underlined word “compensate” in the second paragraph probably mean?Apay moneyBprovid

29、e something hadChelp recoverDincrease damage3、What does the author say about social network?AThey have effects similar to those of a marriage.BThey help develop peoples community spirit.CThey provide timely support for those in need.DThey help relieve people of their lifes burden.4、What can be infer

30、red from the last paragraph?AIts important that we develop a social network when young.BTo stay healthy, one should have a proper social network.CGetting a divorce means risking a reduced life span.DWe should share our social networks with each other.23（8分）WHERE TO GO IN AUGUST?In EuropeAugust is th

31、e height of the peak season! Millions of holidaymakers from around the world invade the beaches and countryside of Southern Europe. The climate is great for travel for just about the whole of the continent with just a few areas affected by extreme heat.The north of Europe is lovely during this month

32、 and summer is the ideal time to visit those countries that are generally considered a little cold and damp such as Ireland, Scotland or Holland.In AsiaThis season is considered the least favourable.The monsoon(季風)season is at its height over the majority of this area with the exception of only a fe

33、w countries (Kerala or Tamil Nadu in India,Bali and the southern islands of Indonesia,etc.) Everywhere else is hot, and very damp climate prevails(盛行).In AfricaThe Maghreb countries are crowded with tourists.The climate is hot and dry.The Atlantic coast of Morocco is pleasant thanks to the ocean inf

34、luence.Further to the south it is the rainy season and it is only along the latitude(緯度)of Kenya and Tanzania that the climate becomes favourable to visitors.In AmericaThe north is generally hot and dry(sometimes extremely hot in the deserts towards the west of the USA).Central America experiences a

35、 short rainy season at this time but towards the south the conditions are more favourable.To be avoided:Although July and August are favourable to travel“climatically”speaking,it is often not so pleasant when it comes to quietness and prices.The vast majorities of European countries have their main

36、holidays during this period so the hotels are generally crowded and the prices high for the majority of destinations.223、Which part may be the last choice for travelling in August?AAsia.BAfrica.CSouthern Europe.DSouthern America.1、Besides climate,_ can contribute to your disappointment when travelli

38、d to turn 28 years old was to be living at home with her parents. All shes ever wanted to do is to become an elementary school teacher. However, Hipp has racked up(累計) $100,000 (about 0.67 million yuan) in student loan debt and isnt able to earn enough through working as a part-time skating instruct

39、or and restaurant server to live anywhere other than home.To some degree, multigenerational households have always been a part of American life. However, the number of adults who have been moving back in with their parents or never leaving home in the first place has been growing steadily.The Pew Re

40、search Center recently reported that 2016 was a milestone in the evolving living arrangements of young adults in the US. Until 2016, the most common living arrangement for young adults was to be living in their own property as part of a couple. UBS Financial Services, a Swiss global financial servic

41、es company, released a report that even suggests one reason for the growing number of young adults still living at home could be that their family doesnt want them to leave. The report shows that 74 percent of millennials(千禧一代) get some kind of financial support from their parents after college. Mil

42、lennials see their parents as peers, friends and mentors（導師）. In return, their parents happily provide financial support well into adulthood, helping fund everything for them. Stuart Hoffman, chief economist for the PNC Financial Group in the US, said “Although job growth for millennials since 2014

43、has improved, that doesnt necessarily mean that millennials are starting to fly the nest, he said. “They may like living at home and being able to save money.”He added, “While it has held back household formation and purchases on things, they are probably traveling more and eating out more. I dont k

44、now if it represents a change in moral values, its much more common for adult children to live in their parents homes because its becoming part of the culture.”1、Whats the purpose of Caitlin Hipps story?ATo prove the authors view.BTo introduce her situation.CTo present the topic.DTo make readers ret

45、hink about the problem.2、What does the underlined part (Paragraph1) probably refer to?Alive with parentsBlive independentlyCstay at homeDleave home3、According to Hoffman, which of the following is true?AIt isnt necessary for millennials to leave the nest.BThey can spend less money on their daily lif

46、e.CMoral values are changing gradually.DYoung adults are living in a different life style.4、Whats the main idea of the passage?AWhy is the number of the millennial growing steadily?BWhy has the percentage of adults living with their parents been on the rise?CWhy are parents willing to help fund for

47、young adults?DWhy do more adults treat their parents as peers, friends and guides?25（10分） Everyone knows about straight-A students. We see them frequently in TV situation comedies and in movies like Revenge of the Nerds. They get high grades, all right, but only by becoming dull laborers, their nose

48、s always stuck in a book. They are not good at social communication and look clumsy while doing sports.How, then, do we account for Domenica Roman or Paul Melendres?Roman is on the tennis team at Fairmont Senior High School. She also sings in the choral group, serves on the student council and is a

49、member of the mathematics society. For two years she has maintained As in every subject. Melendres，a freshman at the University of New Mexico，was student body president at Valley High School in Albuquerque. He played soccer and basketball well，exhibited at the science fair，and meanwhile worked as a

50、reporter on a local television station. Being a speech giver at the graduation ceremony，he achieved straight As in. his regular classes，plus bonus points for As in two college-level courses.How do super-achievers like Roman and Melendres do it？Brains arent the only answer. Top grades dont always go

51、to the brightest students，declares Herbert Walberg，a professor of education at the University of Illinois at Chicago，who has conducted major studies on super-achieving students. Knowing how to make the most of your innate（天生的）abilities counts for more. Much more.”In fact，Walberg says，students with h

52、igh IQ sometimes dont do as well as classmates with lower 1Q. For them，learning comes too easily and they never find out how to get down.Hard work isnt the whole story，either. Its not how long you sit there with the books open，said one of the many straight-A students we interviewed. Its what you do

53、while youre sitting. ”Indeed，some of these students actually put in fewer hours of homework time than their lower-scoring classmates.The kids at the top of the class get there by mastering a few basic techniques that others can readily learn.1、The underlined word “nerds” can probably be _Adull bookw

54、orms lacking sports and social skillsBsuccessful top students popular with their peersCstudents with certain learning difficultiesDborn leaders crazy about social activities2、What can we conclude from the first paragraph？AMost TV programs and films are about straight-A students.BPeople have unfavora

55、ble impression of straight-A students.CEveryone knows about straight-A students from TV or films.DStraight-A students are well admired by people in society.3、Some students become super-achievers mainly because_Athey are born cleverer than othersBthey work longer hours at studyCthey make full use of

56、their abilitiesDthey know the shortcut to success4、What will be talked about after the last paragraph？AThe interviews with more students.BThe role IQ plays in learning well.CThe techniques to be better learners.DThe achievements top students make.5、What can we infer from the passage？AIQ is more impo

57、rtant than hard work in study.BThe brightest students can never get low grades.CTop students certainly achieve all-around developments.DStudents with average IQ can become super-achievers.第三部分 語言知識運用（共兩節(jié)）第一節(jié)（每小題1.5分，滿分30分）閱讀下面短文，從短文后各題所給的A、B、C和D四個選項中，選出可以填入空白處的最佳選項26（30分）A great many people are disa
