A
The Orchard
I had a very nice meal at the Orchard restaurant．The food was lovely and the service was quite good．We chose to eat in the garden which was full of beautiful flowers and very relaxing．The only disappointment was the dessert — the apple pie was far too sweet and it was cold too．Apart from that it was an enjoyable evening．As for the price — what a bargain，excellent value for money！
Park Inn
The best thing about Park Inn was the service — it was excellent．There was a warm welcome when we arrived and the waiters were very helpful all evening．However，the food wasn’t as good．The menu looked interesting but the meals were rather tasteless．It’s not a cheap restaurant and I wasn’t happy to pay so much for boring food．
Richard’s Place
When we entered the restaurant，we were surprised by the lovely interior (内部的) design of it．So stylish，so modern！ This is one of the most popular restaurants in town and it’s very easy to see why．The food was great and excellent value for money but it was ruined by very，very poor service！
The Riverside
It was lovely sitting outside and looking over the river．There were lots of little lanterns (灯笼) and colored lights everywhere and it all looked very pretty．The food was good，nothing very special but quite tasty．The service was OK; we didn’t have to wait too long for our food but the waiter never looked very happy！It’s quite an expensive place but with the view I think it’s quite good value for money．
21．In which restaurant can customers eat in the garden？
A．Park Inn． B．The Orchard． C．The Riverside． D．Richard’s Place．
22．What makes the customers of Park Inn most satisfied？
A．The food． B．The price． C．The service． D．The environment．

This is a true story．Tristin Saghin enjoyed the movie“Black Hawk Down”very much，which is about the conflict in Somalia．The battle scenes and the exciting rescues of people who are dying interested him greatly．
There was just one problem：Tristin was only 9 years old，and it was thought that movie was not for children．When his parents caught him watching it on TV，they made him turn it off，though he had finished his homework and it was not late．Then one day，Tristin and his family were visiting his grandmother in Mesa，Arizona．Tristin’s 2-year-old sister got out of the house and fell in the backyard pool．Realizing the little girl was missing，the family ran outside，only to find the girl had fallen into the water．
Pulled from the pool and placed on the ground，the child wasn’t breathing．The family called the ambulance (救护车)，but no one knew how to do first aid．No one，that is，except for Tristin．A scene in “Black Hawk Down”describes a doctor giving first aid．Tristin remembered it．Then the 9-year-old gave first aid to his sister at once and saved her life．
His parents don’t stop him seeing the movies he likes any more．Tristin taught himself how to do first aid but he had never thought he could use it to save his little sister’s life．Any skill can be used in time，so you should always learn．

“They’re harming your brain．”“They’re ruining your eyes．”“They’re turning you into a violent person．”The words said publicly against video games are so common，but are these worries founded on actual science？ Countless studies have offered different opinions on whether video games are bad for you．We’ve rounded up the most notable reports and studies below，so you can weigh up the evidence for yourself．
In 2013，psychologist(心理学家) Simone Kuhn studied the influences of spending long hours on video games on the brains of young adults and found that several areas became bigger than before．These areas are connected with higher cognitive functions(认知功能)，memory formation and fine motor(精细运动) function．
Last year，psychologists said that video game players who favour violent games are more likely to be violent when offline．Dr．Mark Appelbaum of the American Psychological Association said that there was a relation between violent video game use and increases in violent behaviour．
Dr．Daphne Bavelier is an expert in the field of Brain & Cognitive Sciences．Bavelier presented the audience with a colour-word test，where non-gamers are easily puzzled by the test，and those who spend long periods playing on their computers are more likely to pass the test with flying colours．
“Actually，those video game players have many other advantages in terms of attention，”said Bavelier，“and one part of attention which is also improved for the better is our ability to follow the movements of objects．”
“So，in a sense，when we think about the influence of video games on the brain，it’s very similar to the influence of wine on the health．There are some very poor uses of wine．There are some very poor uses of video games．But when drunk in reasonable amounts，and at the right age， wine can be very good for health，”said Bavelier．
28．What can be learned from Simone Kuhn’s study？
A．Video games make you happier． B．Video games make your brain grow．
C．Video games play a key role in memory． D．Video games teach you how to learn fast．
29．What was Dr．Mark Appelbaum’s attitude towards video games？
A．He was against them． B．He was hopeful of them．
C．He was in favour of them． D．He was uncertain about them．
30．Which of the following may Dr．Daphne Bavelier agree with？
A．Video games fix attention problems．
B．Video games make kids do well in exams．
C．Video games encourage violent behaviour．
D．Video games help increase colour knowledge．
31．Why are the uses of wine mentioned in the last paragraph？
A．To remind people to avoid video games．
B．To show the disadvantages of video games．
C．To help people learn more about video games．
D．To ask people to make good use of video games．
D
Have you ever done something that was really dangerous just because you thought it was safe？Maybe you did a dangerous trick on your bicycle or skateboard because you were wearing a helmet and thought you couldn’t get hurt．The psychology(心理) of this sort of behavior is called the Peltzman Effect，named after Sam Peltzman，professor of economics at the University of Chicago．Peltzman believes that those moments when people think they are the safest are the times when they act most dangerously．
Peltzman said that people drove more dangerously when they wore seat belts(安全带)．Driving a large four-wheel drive vehicle has a similar effect on drivers’ behavior．Because drivers of large vehicles sit up higher and can see better，they feel they can make better judgments when they drive．They are better protected in accidents，so they act more dangerously．This makes driving more hazardous to other drivers．
The Peltzman Effect isn’t just limited to driving．In 1972，the American Food and Drug Administration (FDA) passed a law requiring child safety caps on most medicine bottles．The safety caps were designed to prevent children from accidentally taking the medicine，especially painkillers such as aspirin．Requiring safety caps sounded like a great idea，but there was an unexpected side effect．Because the safety caps are so hard to take off，some people leave them off altogether．
Worse，some parents leave the bottles where kids can reach them because they feel that it is safe because of the cap．A study on the Peltzman Effect showed that more than 3,500 children have been harmed by aspirin because of the safety caps．
The Peltzman Effect describes how we’re likely to take more risks and act more dangerously when we feel safest．What’s more，the effects of these behaviors can be quite different from what we expect．
32．What is the Peltzman Effect？
A．People behave less safely when they feel safe．
B．People feel safest when they are under protection．
C．Something that seems dangerous turns out to be safe．
D．People who act dangerously are likely to be together．
33．What does the underlined word“hazardous”in Paragraph 2 mean？
A．Interesting． B．Expensive． C．Dangerous． D．Important．
34．Medicine bottles with safety caps __________．
A．are required throughout the world
B．meet the demands of the Peltzman Effect
C．sell well in the world
D．are not completely safe
35．What would be the best title for the text？
A．Unsafe Safety Measures B．Types of Decision Making
C．People’s Fear of Taking Risks D．Different Behaviors of People in Danger

阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
Have you seen people who take pictures of food for more than 10 minutes before eating？My friend Stella is such an example．Every time we went to a restaurant，she would not take a bite until all the dishes we 41 were on the table．Then she would spend five minutes in 42 the dishes in a seemingly random(随意的) but in fact 43 order．Then the most important part：taking pictures．After that，she would choose one of the 44 and click in the filter(滤镜) app．The food eventually looked 10 times more delicious than it really was，but we had no 45 to really enjoy it—it all went cold．Actually Stella’s real life is much less elegant．For example，she hates to wash the dishes，so she leaves them in the sink for days．
Many people care too much about others’ opinions and try too hard to 46 others．They find it hard to be 47 and to accept themselves，and thus they are afraid to show their 48
life on social media．What they are trying to prove is 49 what they lack in reality．But this will not bring any 50 to reality，as they still 51 the same old pattern of life．
If they really want an elegant life，they should put more 52 into achieving it 53
fabricating(伪造) it．Being more confident， 54 themselves and trying their best to be better are much more meaningful than 55 their life on social media．

Michelle was eight years old when she heard her mom and dad talking about her little brother，Jack，now only an infant(婴儿)．He was very sick and they were completely out of money．Only a very costly operation could save the baby now but there was no one to whom they could turn for the money needed． She heard Daddy say to her tearful mom，“Only a miracle(奇迹) can save him now．”
At the words，Michelle went to her bedroom and took out all the coins from her little moneybox．After counting the coins three times，she slipped out the back door and made her way to the drug store six blocks away…
She waited for a long time before the pharmacist(药剂师) turned around and asked her，“And what do you want？”
“Well，it’s about my brother，”Michelle answered．“He’s really，really sick…and I want to buy a miracle．”
“I beg your pardon？”said the pharmacist．“His name is Jack and he has something very bad growing inside his body and my daddy said only a miracle can save him now．So how much does a miracle cost？”
“We don’t sell miracles here，little girl．I’m sorry but I can’t help you，”the pharmacist said．“Listen，I have the money to pay for it．”And with these words，Michelle poured out all the coins from her pockets．At this time，a well-dressed man behind Michelle stooped down(弯下腰) and asked the little girl，“I’m selling the miracle you want．Tell me how much money you have．”
“One dollar and eleven cents，”Michelle answered in a low voice．“And it’s all the money I have，but I can get some more．”
“Well，”smiled the man．”A dollar and eleven cents — the exact price of a miracle for your little brother．Show me the place where your brother lives．”
